This past weekend brought many people out to the mountains to view the colors. approves six of seven towers By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Sprint PCS had its final hearing before the Planning Commission on Oct. 17 and, as a result, the Commission recommended approval of two of the three sites it had previously tabled. With the four already okayed, the Board of Supervisors will now consider accepting th* Planning Commission’s six positive recommendations and one negative recommendation for “wireless communications facilities” in Rappahannock County. The two recommendations for approval at last Wednesday’s meeting were the “Huntly Silo” and the “Miller Silo”—two of the three “stealth” silos in Sprint PCS’ second application. These “stealth” silos have been subjected to the most criticism in the recent hearings and have been variously labeled “indus trial,” “out-of-proportion”, and “inappropriate for the County” by individuals and by virtually all of the County’s environmental and historical organizations but, in contrast, have been supported by many of the County’s farmers as being a logical means of concealing telecommunications equipment while having the additional capability of iwving mm. real agricultural silos. The main point of contention has been the size of the structures—the Rose Hill (recommended for approval at the September hearing) and the Miller Silo are both to be 90 foot structures and the Huntly Silo is to be a 100 foot structure. Those opposed say that there has been no such thing in Rappahannock County as a 90 foot silo, but those in favor contend that the County has had silos as large, and that 90 or 100 foot silos are not at all uncommon in agricultural areas. Conservation Easement Specialist to speak Nov. 4 The Commissioners were split on the silo issue. A1 Henry was the first to comment and he said that there was a 90 foot silo in Huntly up until the 1970’s and that “Mr. (Dale) Welch said he’s going to use it (the new silo) later to store silage and if he said he’s going to use it, he will." Mr. Henry also commented favorably on the Miller Silo, noting thetit was “a good distance off the road.” Tbm Tepper disagreed and suggested replacing the silos with simulated trees, though he admitted that the manufacturer’s photograph he had received “looked like a wire brush.” Supervisor’s representative Ron Frazier stated his support for the silos. He said that he did not think that they looked odd or out of place “if you’re familiar with farming communities.” Tom Junk too supported the silos. He said that he grew up on a farm and did not think that they will detract from the viewshed. Raymond Brown also commented favorably, stating that he too grew up on a farm and that “silos to me are a natural thing in the County.” See PLANNERS, Page A8 Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) invites the community to attend it's annual meeting on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. with featured speaker, Faye Crawford Cooper.

Waytaru On Oct. 16 and 17 the students of the Rappahannock County High School collected a total of $220 that will be donated to America's Fund for Afghan Children. The words of President Bush resonated clearly for the entire student body when he stated that giving a dollar “not only enriches your life, but enriches the life of our 031100.” Each student gave what he or she could afford, and the effort was a successful expression of the spirit of compassion that is an essential element of Rappahannock County. Joe Perine, Principal of RCHS, pictured above, said, “We at RCHS are proud to be members of this community and proud to be Americans.” Accident claims life of Graham Hackley An automobile collision on U.

Repay it by doing a kind deed for a young person that you know! WCDS Happenings By Ginny Leser Director of Admissions • What a beautiful month! This past weekend could not have been more glorious, with sunny, warm days and cool, crisp evenings. So many events were lined up around our county for this past weekend that it was hard to choose where to go. If you were a Wakefield Country Day School student or family member, however, the decision was easy. • Spirit Days at WCDS began on Wednesday, and students and teachers alike joined in for Crazy Hat Day. As the lead-in to Homecoming, Crazy Hat Day set the tone, as everyone showed true “red” Owl spirit. Many of the hats were inventive, and some, like Mr. Vargo’s Russian-style fur Cossack hat were soon discarded as the weather warmed up. Thursday was Hawaiian Day, which can pose problems with dress code violations! But once again the students toed the line and dressed in bright colorful shirts and pants. Mrs. Emma Sue Amos was up early being creative, as she picked fall colored mums to weave into a wreath for her hair. Mrs. Leser settled for flamingo earrings and flip-flops, while Mrs. Diana Speer tied a grass skirt around her waist and did the hula dance for the office staff. (It’s funnier in person!). Friday was the traditional Red and White Day, and many students added blue to show their patriotic colors. A Pep Rally on Friday afternoon, with cheers led by student Sheena Rye, got emotions running high, just in time for the Boys Soccer game at home against Emmanual Christian Academy and the Girls Volleyball game at SVCA. Although both teams lost their games, the team members played hard and ended their seasons with lots of support from the school. DAC Tournaments begin this week. • Saturday dawned with lots of activity around the school as parents and students got ready for the Homecoming Festival. Organizers Mrs. Janet Clark, Mrs. Joanne Hytner, Mrs. Kathy McNitt, and Mrs. Ginny Leser started what they hope will be an on-going tradition by letting each class plan their own booths and activities, keeping the money earned for class entertainment or activities. With a moon bounce and a cupcake eating contest among the activities planned, the festival drew a fair sized crowd. Teacher Matthew Baker drew plenty of laughs as he devoured his cupcake, paper liner and all! The annual soccer game between the school soccer team and the alumni became more of a cooperative effort, with alumni Dan Clark, parents Kathi Russo and Jim Yates, teacher Evelyn Oyster, supporters Andre Ebert and Richard Browning facing a squad of determined faces on the field. Luckily, Mr. Yates, who is also our Athletic Director, fairly divided the teams up, and then the game started. It was fun, there was a lot of running back and forth involved, and Saagar Mehta fell victim to the injured list, but otherwise, it was a glorious day. • I he Homecoming dance for the Prep school was great fun, (even on crutches!) with the music provided by the students and manned by student Thomas Marlar. The dance is an event sponsored by the Student Government, of which Connor Hammelman is President and Thomas Marlor is VicePresident. While chaperones milled around in the hallways, the students talked and danced for several hours. All in all, a fun day! • Mrs. Kathy Nilan’s Kindergarten class mailed an important envelope this week. Following President Bush’s request, each child donated one dollar for the Afghanistan Relief Fund. The money had to be earned by the child over the previous weekend, doing chores around the house. -A total of $19 was mailed on Tuesday to the white House. Great job, kids! • rbAT tests were given to students grades eight to 11 on Tuesday. The test results will be back in early December. The results will be a more enhanced version this year, which will enable students to zero in on exactly which areas they need more help in. Good luck! • Fifth grade students of Mrs. Teresa Mountjoy and sixth grade students of Ms. Bernadine Olson attended a play' in Charlottesville last week. The play The Giver, written by Lois Lowery, was presented by the Performing Arts Center in Charlottesville at a local high school.

Brilliance of Baroque Shakespeare on screen For the past several seasons, the Smithsonian at Little Washington concert series, held at the Theatre at Washington, Va., has included one performance titled the Brilliance of the Baroque. This season that performance takes place on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. and features music for violin and harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach was one of the last, and arguably the greatest, representative of the magnificent Baroque musical era. The previous concert in the Brilliance of the Baroque " series at the Theatre featured Bach's sonatas for viola and harpsichord. In the upcoming concert the same musicians, Steven Dann and Kenneth Slowik will perform three Sonatas for' Violin and Obligato Harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach: the Sonata in A Major, BWV 1015, the Sonata in C minor, BWV 1017, and the Sonata in G Major, BWV 1019. Steven Dann, a native of Canada, began his music studies as a violinist and added the viola in his late teens. He is a member of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. As a soloist, he has performed with orchestras throughout Canada and Europe; as a chamber musician, he is currently a member of the Axelrod String Quartet. His tours have taken him around the world. Recently he has appeared with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Kenneth Slowik is a founding member of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, the Smithson and Axelrod string quartets, the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra, and the Castle Trio. His fine reputation as a multi-talented musician, at the keyboard, playing cello and viola da gamba, and in recent years as a conductor, extends throughout this country and Europe. Slowik is Artistic Director of the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society, which is currently celebrating its 25th season. Tickets for the concert on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia, are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. Phone 540-675-1253 or email TheatreVA@aol.com. By Naomi & Herb* Rappahannock News Writer Hi, folks, we’re back. Sorry for the long hiatus. Herb’s been busy on the back forty and Naomi putting up preserves for the long winter. Anyway, our returning review focuses on one of the greatest writers of all times, William Shakespeare, translated onto screen. Yes, Shakespeare can be difficult and ponderous, but his works are also richly complex, witty and compelling. His stories of life, love, loss an<M>etrayal are as relevant today as they were centuries ago, and thus, well worth the effort. In movies, the often dutiful adaptations can be as confusing as reading the Bard directly. While watching old British white guys orate may be proper, we have found some of the modern renditions to be tremendously illuminating. Here, we discuss two films made in the last ten years, all of which are “modernized”, either by time period or venue changes. While Shakespeare’s language remains the same even in the modern films, the updated settings provide a better understanding for some of us less erudite film goers. Do keep in mind that Shakespeare is lengthy, and requires a true commitment of time and effort. • Romeo and Juliet: 1992, PG-13, 2 hours. Herb notes his first real enjoyment of Shakespeare came with this film. In the classic story, depicting two “royal houses at variance with each other,” boy meets girl, love ensues and tragedy results. This is not Franco Ziferelli’s lovely, romanticized picture of 1968, but a gritty, in-your-face production of Baz Luhrmann (his most recent film “Moulin Rouge” is in theaters now) set against a futuristic urban backdrop (Verona Beach, Ca., versus Verona, Italy). The tragic love story, with a riveting musical score by Nellee Hooper (including a startling use of Prince’s “Purple Rain”), features Leonardo DiCaprio and the wonderful Claire Danes as the doomed young lovers. One scene features Ms. Danes with real feathered angel wings and she looks every inch the seraph. Paul Sorvino and Brian Denehey head up the long-feuding Montague and Capulet clans, the weird John Leguizamo plays Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, subsequently killed by Romeo, and Pete CHEVROLET Keep America Rolling Time is running out! - GM’S Keep America Rolling Interest Free Financing Program Expires 10/31/01.

Herb was impressed with the use of television broadcasts throughout the film as an announcer of time, place and events occurring in the story. The giant, modern Jesus statue (much like the classic in Rio de Janeiro) set in the large, faceless city adds to the drama of the sets. Juliet, a Capulet, and hopelessly in love with Romeo, but promised by her Father to another man, learns that Romeo is not only a Montague, but has killed her cousin as well. It is then she utters the now-famous words, “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Advised by the priest, she pretends to commit suicide with the priest’s sleeping potion. Romeo misses the UPS overnight delivery of the priest’s letter telling him of the scam, goes to Juliet’s bier, and mourning her “death” takes poison and dies just as she awakes. In the original, Juliet dies by her own hand with Romeo’s dagger, but in this film it is the more modern gun that is her end. The crypt setting is amazing and beautiful, lit by hundreds of candles and electric crosses. When the constantly Warring families discover the tragedy, it forces a reconciliation that is long overdue, but bitter and full of sadness. As Shakespeare said, “never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” We give this film, all its actors, sets and music, a resounding A+! If your high-schoolers are studying Shakespeare, watching this movie, will help. • A Midsummer Night’s Dream: 1999, PG-13, 2 hours. This lush presentation, set to Felix Mendelssohn’s original operatic score, relates the tale of star-crossed lovers, frolic and fairy interference in relationships. The creamy and beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer stars as Titania, Queen of the Fairies, with Rupert Everett as the sardonic King of the Fairies. Puck, also referred to as Robin Goodfellow, is played by the always wonderful Stanley Tucci, and Calista Flockhart (of Ally McBeal fame), Kevin Klein, David Strathairn, Christian Bale and Sophie Marceau round out the splendid cast. In the confusing story, Demetrius is in love with Hermia, who is in love with Lysander, while Helena is in love with Demetrius. The Duke demands that Hermia marry Demetrius, while she wants to marry Lysander. They all run off into the woods (Hermia and Lysander to escape and be married, Helena to pursue Demetrius) where they are bewitched by a potion concocted by Oberon (Fairy King) and delivered by Puck, also a fairy. Supposedly the bewitched will fall in love with the first person they espy upon awak-. ening, but, unfortunately, the wrong people are there on awakening, and Demetrius, who used to be in love with Hermia is now in Love with Helena, who continues only to want Lysander, who still loves Hermia. too. Puck also delivers the potion to the fairy queen (who is estranged from the fairy king), and she falls in love with Bottom (Kevin Kline), a weaver and actor who, in another fairy spell, becomes one with a donkey (we warned you this is confusing!) Oberon, reviewing his handiwork, discovers Puck’s mistakes and orders him to unite the proper lovers, which he does, and ultimately also removes the spell from Titania as well, turning Bottom from an ass back to a man. In the end, everyone ends up with the proper person (including a reconciled Titania and Oberon). A fabulous triple wedding is held uniting the Duke and his bride, Helena and Lysander, and Demetrius and Hermia. Bottom and his troupe of actor friends provide entertainment at the wedding feast, the fairies lull the couples into sleep and love, and all ends well in this longenduring romp in the woods. Again, we give this entire production (lush costumes and sets, fabulous music) an A+, but Herb would watch Michelle Pfeiffer read the phone book! * Naomi and Herb, aging but Hip movie buffs, live in Rappahannock County, and prefer to remain anonymous.

Jreriect weekend tor soccer By Camille Racer Rappahannock News Writer Rappahannock Soccer was treated to ideal weather this weekend for soccer. The air was crisp early and warmed up just ' enough for this sixth weekend of games. The U-6 Gators continue to - show exciting ball skills. • Adrianne Moore has joined the coaching staff to help lead the team through great personal ■ improvements. Evan Hitt has stepped up to become a leading scorer alongside Trey Swindler. Klaire Gubler is showing . tremendous enthusiasm in the , goal! Kimberly Pankow continues to hustle to stay on top of . the ball. Tristan Palme as well , as Dylan Hitt are showing great defensive skills, taking control , of the ball to head off opposing r, goals. Most of all, every player continues to improve and shine each week. , The U-10 girls played Culpeper to a 1-1 tie. We were , lucky to survive the first half as \ Culpeper took countless shots ( on goal. Some good saves by Marcella Wallace and chances , bounces of the ball kept us in the game. Morgan Flournoy and Brittani Dodson solidified our defense in the second half and Marcella tied the score with a breakaway goal. The girls are showing some great skills in practice in terms of keeping their shape and attacking the ’ goal together. We just need to make that happen in the game. The U-10 Red Rockets were given a taste of what Madison has to offer in their home game. Madison’s offense was strong ' and fast, yet the Rockets stayed * tough! Will Maloney kept the ball from the goal time after time. Madison would strike on • goal and there was Will, booting the ball away. There was no fear 1 or backing down from Madison after that. lilt? XYucft-ets scuieu 111 me ' first half, Jacob Racer with a fine shot close to the far post, . the kind of shot that makes even the refs say, great shot! Madison came in the second half and scored to tie us up 1-1. Right before the second half whistle, Austin Burdick got a shot in goal, but the whistle signaled half and it was not counted. We stayed tied up through • the second half, with Madison , taking shots on Michael Caporuscio to no avail. We held them and they held us! These were two well matched teams. * Congratulations go out to both! Coach Oz’s U-10 team traveled to Madison and won their game. Brian Shafran, Greg Flournoy, Huck Pace and Zack Wayland all scored goals. James White and Cody Dodson continue to execute the passing drives that allow our team to score. Connor Foley, Daniel Clemments and Dane Wellemeyer played awesome defense as they rarely allowed Madison to get the ball into Rappahannock’s side of the field. Kobert fails and Oary White continue to play dominant goalies for our team. Coach Oz Pace has certainly passed on his extensive knowledge of soccer to this team. Thanks Oz! U-14 action was fast and furious as Culpeper’s Coach Crook brought his team to RCHS to face “RIOT” at home. RIOT scored first and kept a 1-2 lead through halftime as they controlled most of the action on * the field. As RIOT made some - line up changes for the second I half, Culpeper came out with a vengeance and put RIOT back on their heals with three quick goals. Now up 4-2, Culpeper kept pressure on midfield and defense forcing RIOT to hold back and defend. RIOT coaches made quick changes, putting Tommy Pendleton as keeper and Tbmmy Gillis up in mid field. With RIOT back on track and getting their game going again Rhonda Jackson scored her first goal with a booming kick from just over midfield. Everyone stared as though the ball was in slow motion as it sailed over the keeper and found the back of the net. Now down by one and time running short, the play was all over Culpeper’s end and Carlos Flores found the net to tie it up. RIOT was now in complete control with all their players hungry for the win. RIOT pounded shots around the goal forcing comer kicks and as RIOT closed in for a winning goal time expired ending the contest with a tie. Final score 44. RIOT is now 5-2-1 for the season. Go RIOT! The Rappahannock boys U12 played to a hard fought draw, 0-0, against a Madison U-12 team on Saturday. Despite the absence of our three strikers, for various reasons, the team never stopped competing. Mfd fielders Michael Landrum, B.J. Dodson and Sean Mullen all played enthusiastically showing their best soccer skills. Orange coming up next week. Go Green Dragons! The Blue Lightning U-12 Rapp girls’ coach Bob Lucking and assistant coach Justine Rosenbaum led their team south to face Madison for the second time this fall, in a rematch from the first game of the season. An early penalty against Rapp gave Madison a penalty shot, but goalie Megan Wheatley came up with a big stop exciting the Blue Lightning fans. Moments later Ella Miller, with an assist from Osha Kondori, scored for Rapp giving the Blue Lightning an early 1-0 lead. Noel Johns, Emma Hathaway, Lily Day, Jordan Lysaght and Caroline Massie all played well defensively in front of Megan Wheatley. But, Madison scored late in the first half, knotting the game at one each. The second half pace was slower as neither team was able to score. The Blue Lightning front line of Emily Carter, Hannah Rosenbaum, Ella Miller and Megan Wheatley came close on several shots, and the defensive efforts of Emma Hathaway, Lily Day, Emma Dodd-Henze and Tiana Lucking frustrated the Madison offense. With less than one minute to play, a Madison forward sliced a shot across the goal, just making it inside the left post. Final score Madison 2, Blue Lightning 1. Despite having just two of their ten games at home this fall, the Blue Lightning girls have played very well the last several games and travel to Orange this Saturday, and to Culpeper on Nov. 3 for their final game. Good luck girls! The talents of the U-18 team were again displayed this weekend against Orange County. Our teens dominated the field with skill and a desire to win. Komei Nakamura, an exchange student from Japan, played his first game with the team and scored two goals. The control that he brought to the midfield solidified the team. Juan Tisera, with three goals was the high scorer this week. James Jackson pounded out tw o scores and Doug White cleared a shot for one. Final score Rappahannock 8, Orange 0. On a final note, the U-18 team will be playing under the lights this Friday evening at Comet Stadium in Culpeper, 8 p.m. This is always a great game to watch and our teens need some extra support for this big game! If you do not have plans yet for Friday, bring the family out for a night of soccer!

The search and rescue team, Carrie and Eric Mowatt Larssen, brought their two dogs April and Jemma. The dogs and the handlers gave wonderful demonstrations of how the search and rescue works. It was clear that the dogs really wanted to find the 4-H members hiding and have their two minutes of playtime with the members after the search was concluded.

Endorsements Louderback for Delegate We weren’t too happy when our decade-long association with Fauquier in the old 31st House District ended with the current redistricting. But we are pleased that Allen Louderback of Luray, the Republican candidate for the 15th District of which we are now a part, is running for re-election. Louderback, a former federal government executive who is now a small businessman in Luray, was first elected to the House of Delegates in 1999. During his freshman term, compiled a very good record of accomplishment. Louderback was appointed to serve on a number of important House committees, including Finance, Conservation and Natural Resources, Agriculture and Militia and Police. He was the patron of several bills, including commonsense legislation that freed employers from being liable for unemployment benefits for employees in work-release programs, and permitting law enforcement and emergency personnel to operate all-terrain vehicles on public roads when responding to emergencies. In addition, he was the patron of a bill that authorized Warren County - then in his district - to establish standards for private wells and testing of above-ground water sources before allowing the issuance of building permits. nscai conservative, L<ouaerDacK was a co-patron oi a bill (HB 2865) directing that a report on state spending be done each year focusing on the elimination of programs that no longer had “a distinct or discernible mission.” The bill also called for a review of the programs that had the greatest impact on state spending, requiring that a cost-to-benefit analysis be provided. . Many Rappahannock citizens have met Louderback since he began campaigning in our county earlier this year. Other people in Rappahannock, especially in our county leaders, have worked with him during the two terms (1991-1999) that he served on the Page County Board of Supervisors. Louderback has demonstrated that he can provide effective representation in Richmond, and receives our endorsement for the 15th House District delegate’s seat. Mark Warner for Governor We don’t envy our next governor. Gone are the budget surpluses of the last few years, and the Commonwealth is facing a revenue shortfall that could reach hundreds of millions of dollars this year. Mark Warner is a successful businessman who has never held elective office — just like George W. Bush was before he was elected governor of Tbxas. And like Pres. Bush, we think that Mr. Warner already has shown that he can work well with people of all political persuasions. He has been endorsed by groups from teachers to police to firefighters to business people, as well as many long-time Republicans. He has worked with Senator George Allen (R-Va.) to help communities become more involved in their children’s schools. The next governor will have to work well with the General Assembly to return Virginia to solvency. We think Mr. Warner can do that. Additionally, we feel that he is honestly committed to improving education, and in particular, higher education, an area that has been sadly neglected by the Gilmore administration. Mr. Warner pledges to rectify that situation. Finally, as a business person who made his fortune in the high-tech world, we think that Mr. Warner truly understands — as no one outside the business world can — the requirements and the importance of the new economy to the state, the region and Rappahannock County. For these reasons, we strongly endorse Mark Warner for governor. Tim Kaine for Lt. Governor Richmond Mayor Tim Kaine, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, is a can-do guy — a big thinker with an almost infectious exhilaration for public service. Mr. Kaine is regarded as a bridge builder, and a Democratic governor will need all the bridge-building he can get with a Republican-led legislature. As mayor, Mr. Kaine successfully steered the course of public debate away from that which divided people, to what was best for the community. He is an advocate for local authority over local issues, a stand that strikes a true chord in Rappahannock County, due to the conflicts over growth controls we have had with the General Assembly in recent years. Jerry Kilgore for Attorney General As U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia, Republican Jerry Kilgore was regarded as a tough, yet gentlemanly prosecutor. This is Mr. Kilgore’s second attempt at winning the office of Attorney General — he was runner-up to Mark Earley in the his party’s 1997 primary. Mr. Kilgore’s notable statewide achievement is working with U.S. Sen. George Allen (R), when he was governor, to reform the state’s parole system. He is passionate about improving services to domestic violence victims, and he readily acknowledges the need to review state laws relating to terrorism — particularly with revelations that local residents assisted some of the terrorists involved in last month’s attacks. -l&appafiannocfe J2etog— Established 1877 An Independent Newspaper Published Every Wednesday ARTHUR W.

Letters Thanks extended to fire departments On Saturduy, our family experienced a very sad and tragic event - our lovely home was completely devas- . tated by an all consuming fire. We are deeply grateful to our many friends for their support and, most especially, to the very dedicated, competent volunteer fire departments of Amissville, Chester Gap, Flint Hill, and Washington. The men and women of these volunteer departments who so generously give of their time and talents have an unparalleled spirit of community commitment. In these extraordinary world times, the love and caring we have for each other is what will sustain us all. Phyllis Magrab and Grant Peters Flint Hill Republicans - a proven team The 2001 election date in Virginia is approaching. We’ve all seen and heard many advertisements, not a few promises, and perhaps a debate. Nothing very conclusive comes out of all that for most of us. We should look, instead, at the record: Under the last two Republican administrations, Virginia prospered and, in many ways, improved: • The March 2001 issue of “Site Selection” magazine ranked Virginia number one for highest job creation per capita in the U.S. • Over the past seven years, over 560,000 new jobs were created. • Over the past seven years, over $25 billion in new investments in Virginia. • First cabinet level Secretary of Technology in U.S. established by Governor Gilmore. • Major increases in spending and improvements in education. • Virginia ranked fourth in the U.S. for state funding of higher education. • Transportation is a big problem in some areas. Governor Allen began, Governor Gilmore continues, the largest road building program in the state’s history. • In 2000, Virginia’s crime rates fell to a 25 year low, mostly due to Republican policies. • A Virginia Commonwealth University study found Virginia’s environment declined from 1980 to 1994, then improved steadily in the next seven years. • State employees, and taxpayers, are better off, with Governor Gilmore’s steps (better salaries, performance based raises, streamlined gov ernment procurement) to improve morale and performance. ' “That record of positive results didn’t “just happen”! We’d best stay with a winner. Sure, as attractive, dynamic newcomer offers a tempting sounding alternative. Do we want to take a change? I'd say, “No!” Let’s stick with a proven team. Vote for Mark Earley, Jay Katzen, and Jerry Kilgore on Nov. 6! Bob Beattie Woodville The cell phone is an essential emergency device Cell phones have been designated as “essential emergency devices” by officials involved in the massive rescue and search operations resulting from the terrorist attacks in N.Y. City, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania plane crash site. The heroic actions taken by hijacked passengers on this fourth plane prevented an attack on Washington, which could have taken hundreds or thousands of more lives. Cell phone calls to their families and friends tipped them off about the fate of the other three hijacked planes. With the threat of future attacks and a long war on ter rorism ahead of us, even Rappahannock County needs to be prepared. We are not far from a prime target and many of our citizens work in D.C. and the Metro area. In addition natural disasters happen all the time and many without warning. Just a few weeks ago both Culpeper and Fauquier counties were hit by tornadoes. Sperryville and other small communities in Rappahannock County could be faced with a natural disaster in the future like the one that occurred in the Black Hills of South Dakota in June of 1972. A freak storm dumped double digit amounts of rain on the mountains. Rapid City located at the foothills of the Black Hills was hit by a wall of water roaring down the canyons. The city water reservoir “Canyon Lake” collapsed and the combined deluge destroyed homes, trailer parks, camp grounds, businesses, power, communications, water, sewer, and lives of almost 400 people. The U.S. Army sent in teams of signal corps soldiers with combat radio equipment to provide emergency communications and to support the field search and rescue operations. A local radio station with a 200 plus tower up on a mountain top let the army install a remote antenna on the tower. Their base station could communicate with field teams up in the mountain canyons as well as downstream for an extended area. Height does matter. If cell phone technology had been available more lives possibly could have been saved. Everyday we hear of lives being saved by the availability and use of cell phone service. It truly is an essential emergency device as well as all the other personal and business uses. Instead of an inappropriate finger cartoon lets give cell phone towers a thumbs up. Robert E. Lindquist Amissville culinary Arts group commended, others deserve kudos The recently introduced vocational curriculum component at Rappahannock County High School dubbed Culinary Arts (not Home Economics or Domestic Science of previous generations) made a significant contribution to the success of Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s 31st annual meeting. Delectable desserts were prepared by the class and served by volunteers Bruce Brown, James Jackson and Heather Hensley. We thank them all includ ing their teacher, Ms. Mary Arthur, who coordinated the event. Cider was contributed by Lee’s Orchards and Williams’ Orchards and coffee was courtesy of Central Coffee Company Ltd. Other anonymous local growers also deserve kudos. The cooperation of members of the high school administration was also much appreciated. Again our thanks v Mitzie Young Washington Change your clock - change your battery This is a letter that can save lives in our community. The simple yet powerful act of changing the batteries in smoke alarms when you change the clock on Oct. 28 can double a family’s chances of getting out of a home fire alive. As a 22-year fire service veteran, 1 have witnessed first hand the tragedy and devastation of home fires. It’s even more heartbreaking when a young life is cut short. Each day, an average of nearly three children die in home fires. Overall, between 75 to 80 percent of home fire deaths in this country occur in the homes without working smoke alarms. Considering that a residential fire ignites every 85 seconds and fire deaths peak in the winter months, it just makes sense to change your smoke alarm batteries each, and every fall. Additionally, ICHIEFS recommends replacing your smoke alarms every ten years. We hope you’ll join the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Energizer brand batteries - our “Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery” partner for 14 years in sharing this lifesaving information with everyone you come in contact with this weekend.

Scott and Michael, in his charge and on the job for us; to Jonathan Partin, the “shrimp man" on the lawn at Avon Hall; and to Alma Viator and Ben “Cooler” Jones and all the Garage Band musicians, whose tribute of patriotic music and spoken word to the victims and heroes of the Sept, 11 terrorism left not a single dry eye among those of us assembled pondside at Avon Hall on Sept. 30. You really should've been there! Mary Ann Kuhn, Claudia Mitchell, John Bourgeois, and Ray Gooch, for the Rappahannock Historical Society Let’s not damage community spirit It was again reassuring last night to attend the meeting bf the Planning Commission and hear the knowledgeable and concerned voices of our Citizens and commission members as we struggle with the issues involved in the Sprint cell towers application. However. I am troubled by an idea that has emerged through this process over the past few weeks of public discourse. Some speakers are now using the phrase “special interest group" to describe persons who have views different from the speaker. Planning commission member A1 Henry reiterated and reinforced this idea in describing people who had met with Sprint to provide citizen input to the Sprint proposal. This terminology is not logical, not useful, and damages community spirit. Any citizen, resident, or landowner of the county who takes the time and effort to study and discuss these issues, attend meetings, voice opinions, should he respected for their effort at least, whether or not one agrees with their particular views. It is silly to describe some persons as having “special" interests, thereby implying that others have only “gener al" interests. Each person has both special and general interests, and most people are careful to identify the reasons for their opinions - whether they are interested in personal financial gain from hosting a cell tower on their property, loss of value to their property within view of a tower, negative or positive effects on tourism, utility of the system for public safety, obtaining telecommunications service for their own use, environmental protection, historic preservation. or other concerns. Beverly Hunter Ajnissville Hollerin from the Mountain #1 Here 1 go hollerin’ again in response to Up in the Hollow # 19. The right of the Supreme Court to declare a law unconstitutional and thus “void” was first pronounced by "the Court in 1803 in the case of Marbury v. Madison. It’s not in the Constitution per se. It was ruled to be in the Constitution bv interpretation of the Supreme Court. Ironically, that riding declared unconstitutional a law that had been passed by the very Congress that wrote the Constitution, including James Madison, the father of the Constitution. Writing in 1804 Thomas Jefferson said: “the opinion which gives to the Judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislative and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” The Supreme Court’s exelu sivo authority to rule on the constitutionality of our laws has become accepted by nearly 200 years of practice despite the strong objection of our Third President. From a practical viewpoint, it is now impossible to go back to the original intent of the Constitution. What is possible is that we be careful in appointing Justices of the Supreme Court to assure that they will limit the power they wield. We need to guard against Judges who advocate a “liberal'' interpretation of the Constitution. Here, I am using the definition that I gave in a prior article — “Free; not literal or strict; as a liberal construction of law.” A person can be a political “Liberal" and agree that a “liberal” interpretation of the Constitution is dangerous. Indeed, such a person could truly say that he is a Jeffersonian Democrat. In discussing the powers of the Supreme Court, it would0 be wise to {jet away from political definitions and understand that what is at issue is a limitation on the authority of the Court for the sake of Democracy. While in the past it has been mostly political conservatives who have argued against overreaching by the Supreme Court, the last presidential election should give political liberals cause for concern as well. Neither party is well served by an autocratic Supreme Court that is exempt from election by the people; at least that’s what Jefferson believed. I have prepared comments on the issue of “separation of chufch and state,” but due to space limitations - that material will have to wait for another issue. Despite our disagreements, let me say that I wholeheartedly agree with Ben’s comments that debate is a good thing that can help us to learn Kaine has impressive record In the race for Lt. Governor, the obvious choice is Richmond Mayor Tim Kaine. As recent events have shown, it is the Mayors, working daily with Police and Fire Chiefs, who possess the knowledge and front line experience that will be required as Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

Virginia, and the rest of America, conduct a war on terrorism. A war that has come home to American soil. As Mayor of Richmond, Tim Kaine has left an impressive record. The city’s homicide rate has dropped 55 percent, while the police have cracked down on gun crimes. He has helped funnel more money into education, including a doubling of the amount spent on school construction. This was accomplished without raising taxes. He is a man of strong religious faith, yet tolerant of the beliefs of others who may differ with him. He is a good family man, who is married to the daughter of Linwood Holton, a former Republican Governor. Jay Katzen, the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, is a nice man, but totally lacking the qualifications needed for the job. The character of the campaign he has run clearly indicates that he has nothing of real substance to say. Early in this race, Katzen made scurrilous attacks on Tim Kaine’s moral values, then took them back, saying his attacks were based on “false assumptions.” Why didn’t he just say, “Never Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

(Upstairs from the Social Security Office) Earl J.

One faction will dig down into the past until the ground yields up some evidence of ancient ancestors who lived in that place, say. in 2700 R(\ And so they lay claim to that territory. The other faction digs a bit deeper, finds a shard of “family" pottery from 2000 B.C. and claims territorial precedence. And so the digging continues. And so does the fighting. It is not a good system. But it should he instructive to us here in Rappahannock. There is an expression I have heard here that makes me wince. It is our little secret, the crazy uncle in the attic of paradise. Dare I say it? Of course I do. The expression is “the come heres and the been heres." Were I to accept this terminology ns having any value whatsoever, 1 would be a ‘come here", meaning 1 just fell off the turnip truck as it was passing through Sperryville a few years back. The “been heres", having been here longer, would then feel some sort of social separation from me since I have no deep roots in this neck of the woods. The first families of the county would sniff and not accept me and I would be condemned to spend my days hanging out with the “come heres", mostly retired think tank professors who come here on weekends and live up some private driveway and talk about the socio-economic effects of the third world debt on global warming. roriunaieiy, i am spared such a fate because I find the whole deal to be nonsense. Even the “b<een heres” who were “bom here" were not here before they were here. I am a “come 'through here" who “came back through here" and then “left here” before I “came back here again" and “rented here then bought here” because I “love it here.” But I am not an “always here” because 1 “go off from here” before “I come back here again." So I am just a “here". Not only am I a “here” but I am a “plans to be Ben Jones here until he kicks the bucket." And then I will be a “buru>d here" and hopefully will then go to Heaven, the only place 1 can imagine that is more beautiful than here1. In fact, I am a “here'" even when I am not here because then I am a “want to be here'." 1 bnng all this up because of a letter to the editor from Jay Miller that to me exposes how this kind of t hinking can l>e negative and divisive in a small community like ours. Mr. Miller rightfully bemoans the plight of small farmers in this day of “agnindustry". pointing out correctly that the beauty of this county exists because of the farming tradition here, and that tradition needs and deserves understanding and support. His listing of “indigenous families" is a beautiful homage to the folks who have worked these hills and hollows and enhanced the natural work of the Creator. But his letter goes ofT from there to attack opponents of the Sprint cell tower plan as a “vocal minority" and “special interests". Mr. Miller makes it clear he is talking about “come heres." Weil.let me speak as a “love it here." Surely Mr. Miller knows that there are people in the families he lists as “indigenous" who strongly oppose these towers and many who have moved here recently who can't wait to use their cell phones. And surely he knows that any farmer who hopes to be saved by a cell tower in the pasture is going to be sadly disappointed. At the recent Planning Commission hearing on the towers I was astonished to hear Alvin Henry, who represents my district, admonish the organized opposition to the Sprint plan as "special interests', a term that had been used earlier by opponents of the Amissville tower. Since I am one who thinks the proposal is a bad. cynical joke. I can only assume that I am now a part of Al s “special interests." Now. let me "quit preachin’ and go to meddlin'." It seems to me that the only real value of this technology in a community like ours is to create first-rate emergency services. That is the one thing we can all pretty much agree on, and the obvious point of compromise for the county's leadership. But the Spnnt Plan does not provide anything approaching comprehensive emergency coverage. It is in fact a plan that provides only marginally improved emergency services in about a third of the county. It is not too much to ask of Sprint that they present a plan that has serious value for the whole county. It is not too much to ask of our elected and appointed officials that they insist on a plan that does the job right. In fact, as appealing as the lucre may be for those who may or may not get some of Sprint’s dough, the plan is laughably third rate, and an insult to those very families who labored for generations to establish this very special place. The only “special interests” here are those who stand to profit from this business, first among them the corporate interests of Sprint. But we must see beyond this present disagreement about silos and monopoles. The bigger threat, perhaps exposed and magnified by this issue, is the perceived gap between the interests of longtime residents and more recent arrivals. Thinking as “been heres" and “come heres” can only erode the common interest which I believe we all have, the desire to have a community that values and respects one another, and that works daily to create a place for those to come which those who went before can be proud of. and grow and that by exercising it we are “exercising a fine brand of patriotism.” That's what America is really all about. So I really do appreciate you, Ben. Keep on hollerin’! Jim Oyster Castleton mind, I don’t know what I’m talking about.” This is not the time to reward politicians who do nothing more than raise phony issues and spew venom at their fellow Americans. When you cast your vote for Lt. Governor, ask yourself who has the right experience to step in and take over as Governor if there was an emergency? I think the answer as obvious. On election day, vote for Tim Kaine, the right choice for Virginia and America.

Another Indian Summer Let me remember the feel of the sun that joy before October’s done... the torpor of those golden rays that lazily lays... on golden leaves that breezes toss among the cornered, hiding moss... the pungent smell of grass gone brown, that warms the frozen gloss... Remember the odor of apples’ last repose? It’s final roll to a heap of sweet... A meal for bees and those little other buzzers...called by the warm from their honeycomb home. A bonus blush for a hapless rosea blooming celebration for the autumn nose it’s perfume a promise lost; bravely denying the evenings frost... its wilting fought but the chill has shown: If it could have a thought, it would surely muse upon the summer lost... Remember the double-feel of warmth and cold that slyly creeps upon the cheek? And the spring-bom sprout of green t hat glows in hidden bowers of the creek...? It's come back to haunt our hearts - and shows - here in autumn’s place - the year’s grown old.. Then, after the cold nips the cat tail’s floss to full and a mossy southern slope still graces traces of the lawn... there’s the last and latest summer’s tease to a May-bom foraging fawn... Listen., to the summer’s remnant drummer... to appease our longing to be warm A foals' one more moment on the loam. Feel our heartfelt need for this beloved Indian summer: “thank you” to Nature’s warm Autumn poem. Cynthia Stamps, Woodville Imported cars aren’t foreign to us. REASONS TO BRING YOUR CAR TO US 1.

He said that he thought that the silos would have a “major visual impact,” and he suggested that there were better solutions. Chairman Werner Krebser gave an emotional appeal for an alternatives to the proposed silos, noting that he had identified other sites and proposed that they he investigated so that we “can do away with all three silos.” Mr. Krebser said that he was “amazed that people say they like silos.—I decided I’ve got to do away with the silos.” The Commission, however, turned down two Zindel motions to recommend disapproval of the silo sites, and voted instead (4 to 3 and 4 to 2 with Krebser abstention, respectively) to okay Henry motions to recommend approval of the Miller and Huntly Silos. The Duxbury monopole (Amissville) was the sole site of seven to be recommended for disapproval. The motion by Butch Zindel for disapproval had only one dissenting vote (Junk), and it appears that an Amissville-based effort to move the tower back to the Amissville Fire and Rescue location, as proposed in Sprint PCS’ first application, has Planning Commission and, perhaps, Board of Supervisors’ support. The Board of Supervisors will render its decision on Sprint PCS’ application at their meeting beginning on Nov. 5. The time and location of that meeting will be announced in the Rappahannock News.

Page County certainly las somewhat similar issues.” Education: Do you support jiving vouchers or tax credits to aarents who home school their :hildren, or send them to private >r parochial schools? Louderback: “One thing to hink about and work with is providing various avenues for leople to school their children. I lave seen some excellent projrams with home schooling... md it really doesn’t pull away rom the schools systems as nuch as some have indicated it loes, because the schools are laid by the number of students .hat they have enrolled. If properly put together and iroperly thought out, I think it ■vould be advantageous. It is mperative that we have an ixcellent education system.” Pollack: Yes, I support vouchers and tax credits. I think it is very important that we allow more diversity in our educational processes. I am very interested in all of the creative things that educators and teachers can do and will do with these kinds of initiatives. Teachers need to be adequately compensated.” Taxes: Have you pledged not to raise taxes in Virginia? Would you vote for a tax increase to fund higher education needs in the state? Louderback: “I have pledged not to raise taxes and I would prefer to make sure we are doing everything we can and doing what we are supposed to be doing properly in our government agencies first before we start to raise any taxes.” Pollack: “I have made no such pledge, and I think it would be irresponsible to do so considering the possible billion dollar budget hole that we are going to have. 1 am one that has the courage to stand up to special interest and make the cuts that are necessary. No, I would not vote for a tax increase to fund higher education. We don’t need it and parents have the incentive and wherewithal to find ways to finance the education for their family members and loved ones. I realize how important higher education is to our economy...” Cost of Competing: Rural counties bordered by growth areas have a hard time keeping teachers and other public employees because higher salaries are paid in nearby jurisdictions, but the cost of living here is not much lower. What would you do to bring this into balance? i Louderback: “I think we need to take a hard look at teacher’s salaries. We shouldn’t discriminate one area of the state over another. If are going to give competitive pays for Northern Virginians, there ought to be competitive pay that is really in comparison to the actual cost of living, where everything counts. With large discrepancies in salaries and it only takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours to commute from here to Northern Virginia, and they can get twenty thousand dollars more or fifteen thousand more by driving two hours, an awful lot of them will do that.” Pollack: “We need to start getting our fair share in the 15th District. I formerly worked with Mark Warner and I have a good working relationship with him, and I will have no hesitation going to the third floor, to the governor for those matters of importance to citizens of the 15th District. “I worked there on the third floor for two different governors, and I still know people there. I can get the job done*

Except this boy is not so common. Lucky was born on a day in March in a cold South Dakota winter. He remembers little of his early days, except that he had to fend for himself since his family just didn’t seem to care. One December day, hungry, alone and cold, Lucky found himself wandering in a little prairie town covered with ice from a morning storm. In his head he felt dazed. His leg and tail hurt a lot, both were very bloody, and one foot was smashed flat and numb - if it hadn’t been for the ice he could have leaped back from the car that hit him. Lucky looked hopefully at the people scurrying by, eager for a lift out of the cold, but no one even glanced back at him. Then, suddenly, this lady was calling him. Calling him! She kneeled down as he approached, gazing first into his eyes, and then at his injuries. Before he even knew what was happening, she slipped her little rope leash (she always carried it for emergencies) around his neck and whisked him away to a really nice man, who hugged him, too. Soon he was fed, and in a warm place where his injuries were bandaged and his stomach filled. All this was too good to be true! But there was even more to come! The next day, he was put on a huge, weird car that had wings. It actually seemed to fly like a bird, and something was missing. What could it be? They tried not to worry too much about it, while continuing to learn and play and do all the other things little boys and girls do to help Mom and <Dad grow up. But the nagging feeling remained. In spite of everything they had, each somehow felt a little bit lonely. Then one fateful day Lucky’s Mom took him on a a few hours later his new mom and dad let him out in a warm, wonderful place called Virginia. Meanwhile, Schuyler - even her name was uncommon - had had a totally different beginning. She had been planned and longed for, her birth eagerly awaited. Her parents were overjoyed. They spared nothing in their drive to be good to her. Not quite spoiled, she developed such a sweet temperament that she was a joy to be around. Life was good for Lucky and Schuyler. They both had loving parents, warm homes, lots of food, cats to chase. Still, for both of them, ride up the road to her friend’s home. He jumped out of the car and greeted the nice lady who seemed very glad to see him. Lo! Around the corner of the house came the most beautiful creature he had ever seen! Her black hair glistened in the sunlight. Her eyes were a deep, warm, and sparkling brown. Her every movement was as graceful as a dancer’s. And she was moving, gulp, toward him! And then ... in a moment of pure magic . . . they were standing face to face, and oh, what a face! Lucky felt himself tingling all over. He realized he was almost drooling, his tongue flailing. Oh, how could he make a good first impression? He just didn’t know what to do - here was a real girl-to-the-manor born, and he was just a boy from the streets. But she kissed him ... he kissed her back ... and nothing else mattered ... they were in love! Each afternoon, when his mom went to her mom’s. Lucky and Schuyler romped and played. Schuyler took him to her pond, and taught him how to swim. He taught her how to play hide-and-seek. They shared their drinks under the shade of the tree. This, they decided, this love, was what had been missing, and now, life was complete! And they now are living happily ever after. The End. (Not quite. Schuyler’s mom, Nancy Weitz, and Lucky’s mom, Melinda Arneson, were co-chairmen of the Trinity Episcopal Church House Tour, and for months they met in the afternoons to plan the event. This meant many wonderful opportunities for Lucky’s and Schuyler’s love story to grow and grow. Now who would have expected The House Tour to provide love in the afternoon!?) A quick source of enemy for birds ft Backyard ^Happenings Jim Bywaters Suet is a high-energy formulation of animal fat and other ingredients to attract insect eating birds. Suet is a quick source of heat and energy for birds. It traditionally has been used as a good substitute for the insects that birds usually feed upon but are not plentiful in cold weather. Suet can, however, be presented all year long. Offering suet in a wire cage or suet log is a low-maintenance bird feeder. You refill it only once every week or so, you never need to scrub the feeder, and you can leave it in your yard year round. Presenting suet in your backyard will also attract a greater variety of birds for your enjoyment. Some birds that epjoy suet in my Flint Hill backyard include woodpeckers, bluebirds, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, jays, mockingbirds and wrens. Presenting suet to your backyard birds can be as easy as putting a suet cake in a mesh bag or smearing it into the bark of a tree or log. If you prefer, specially designed suet feeders are available which are attractive and easy to fill. These types of feeders usually provide a wire cage to hold the suet cake. These feeders and a variety of ready-made suet cakes in seed, berry, peanut, and raisin flavors are available at many bird supply stores. Bottom feed suet feeders are also available, these require birds to hang upside down. This type feeder will discourage starlings, jays, blackbirds and squirrels from taking over your suet feeder because they do not like to hang upside down. Since most of the birds that are attracted to suet usually cling to the bark of trees in search of insects, suspend your suet feeder in a tree close to the trunk, approximately five to six feet from the ground. The birds that visit your suet feeder will also reward you in the spring and summer months by eating the insects in your backyard. Another reason to offer suet is for the many adult birds that will undergo a complete molt of their feathers during the fall. This requires lots of energy that is found in suet. Although you can buy readymade suet, homemade suet is Cheaper, takes only about 30 minutes to make and will attract more birds. For readers interested in making homemade suet: Cut uncooked meat fat into cubes or small pieces. Place fat into a large skillet or pan. Heat the fat over low heat until the fat is melted, stirring occasionally. Carefully pour the hot fat through a strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. Cool slightly. You can be creative and mix in peanut butter, raisins, nuts, oatmeal, or cornmeal. Pour the cooled fat into small plastic containers and place in the freezer until you are ready to use it. It can be smeared onto tree trunks where woodpeckers will discover it. If you want firmer suet, reheat the fat a second time, strain and cool it. Suet cakes can be placed in mesh bags or commercial suet holders as well. This type of suet does well in cold weather, giving birds extra energy. For a suet that does not melt in warm weather melt one cup of suet or lard and one cup of crunchy peanut butter in a large pan. Buy the most inexpensive peanut butter available. After this has melted take it off the stove and stir in two cups of “quick oats”, two cups of commeal and one cup of white four. Things like defrosted frozen vegetables, raisins and nuts can also be added to the batter. If the mixture seems runny just add more flour. Next, All small plastic containers half full and then cover and freeze them. When you need the suet you can offer it in the container or place it in a suet basket or platform ieeder. An easy, low cost recipe to feed your backyard birds is Seed Combread. Just get a pacKage or cornoreaa mix. rrepare it as directed on the package but remember to add an extra egg. Crumble the eggshells into the mixture as well. Add one cup of birdseed. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water. Bake as directed on the package and then let it cool. Cut it into serving size pieces and freeze it in small freezer bags until it is needed. Defrost and crumble it into pieces on a platform feeder and watch the birds devour it. Happy Birding!

Uniforms are not required for this meeting. Spring forward, fall back These four words have a whole collection of trivia, facts, and common sense about Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April and stays in until 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. The main reason we change our clocks to Daylight Saving Time is that it saves energy. It “makes” the sun set one hour later, and therefore reduces the time between bedtime by one hour. This means less electricity is used for lighting and appliances. In an average home, 25 percent of all electricity is used for lighting and small appliances such as televisions, VCR's, radio and stereos. When the clock is moved ahead one hour, we cut the amount of electricity we consume each day. Studies done in 1970 by the Department of Transportation showed that we cut the entire countrys’ electricity usage by about one percent. Each day with the Daylight Saving Time added up this can be very large, while the amount of energy per household is small. Daylight Saving Time is a change in the standard time of each time zone. Time zones were first used by the railroads in 1883 to standardize their schedules. In 1918 the U.S. Congress Sperryville ? By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 made the U.S. rail zones official under federal law, and gave the Interstate Commerce Commission the responsibility to make any changes. They were the only federal transportation agency at that time. The Department of Transportation was created by Congress in 1966, and the responsibility was transferred for the time laws to the new department. The American law by which we turn our clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall, is known as the “Uniform Time Act of 1966”. This law did not require that everyone observe Daylight Saving Time, it meant “IP we are going to observe D.S.T. it must be done uniformly. This law was amended in 1986 to begin Daylight Saving Time on the first Sunday in April. Daylight Saving Time has been around for most of the past century and even earlier. In 1918 and 1919, Congress placed the country on Daylight Saving Time for the remainder of WWI to conserve resources for the War. This was observed for seven montljs, and it proved so unpopular it was later repealed. We went to war again and Congress reinstated D.S.T. on Feb. 2, 1942. Time in the U.S. was advanced one hour to save energy. This remained advanced one hour year-round until Sept. 30, 1945. There was no law about Daylight Saving Time from 1945 to 1966. State and localities were free to observe D.S.T. or not. This caused much confusion, especially for the broadcasting industry, trains, and buses because of the different local laws and customs. New schedules had to be made each time a state or town began or ended Daylight Saving Time. Congress decided to step in and end the confusion and established one pattern across the country. In 1973 following the Arab oil embargo, Congress put the nation on extended Daylight Saving Time for two years to save additional energy. This worked, but Congress did not continue the experiment mostly because of the farming states. Farmers would not change their clocks because they worked by sun time. It was changed many times in the following years. In 1986 President Reagan changed Daylight Saving Time slightly. He signed a Public Law 99359, which changed D.S.T. from the last Sunday in April, to the first Sunday in April. No change was made to the ending date of the last Sunday irt October. By adding the full month of April, it is estimated to save nationwide about. 300.000 barrels of oil each year. Many countries observe Daylight Saving Time, but the beginning and ending dates are different than those in the United States. It is Daylight Saving (singular) Time, not Daylight Savings Time...next Sunday, Oct. 28 at 2 a.m., be sure to set your clocks back one hour and enjoy the long evenings.

Joel Peregory and children Kenny and Heidi flew down leaving National Airport on Friday, going by Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, where they had a layover of seven hours, due to security reasons and proceeded on into Orlando Airport. Activities at the resort included the putt-putt golf contest, ping pong contest, and lots of water sports. At Sea World was the Shamu, the whale performing tricks and the dolphin show. They also visited .Gatorland where they witnessed the alligator shows, including feed the alligators and “wrestle” between an alligator and a man. The children got to set on an alligator and they all partook of “alligator nuggets”. Joe and his family traveled to Clermont, Fla. where they shopped at the Oullett Mall. Another interesting event was the exciting “pet show”, here cats and dogs did all kinds of tricks, dogs chasing cats, cats chasing rats and skunks chasing all animals and more exciting were “pigs” riding tractors, scooters and surfboards.

Confronting our fears By Rev. Jerry J. Pokorsky Special to the Rappahannock News Fear makes for good media copy. This is not a complaint, it is just a statement of fact. But with the relentless media exploitation of our fears, there seems to be a disturbing fixation on the futility of human existence, a futility that is emerging from the ashes of the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. In conversation and correspondence, I have noticed a growing tendency to disparage religion and prayer. Some even suggest that religion is the cause of our problems today. Others dismiss prayer as a naive and escapist solution to the threat that lies before us. But these anguished argu merits can be easily dismissed by calling to mind the godless and brutal history of the 20th century. Can we really argue for example, that the horrors of atheistic Communism are rooted in religion? The real crisis before us is a crisis of how we view the world. What is the meaning of life and the meaning of death? During World War II, C.S. Lewis wrote “The war creates no absolutely new situation. It simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice.” The events of recent weeks have driven this point home. We can no longer convince ourselves that the poor Thinking about starting your pre-arrangements? We can help on-line. FOUND AND SONS FUNERAL CHAPELS • CREMATION SERVICE “Families Serving Families" Unparalleled Sendee Since 1830, the Benchmark of Funeral Sendee 111 ‘JO J,i mos Monroe Highway (Rt. 2d South) Culpeper, VA 540-825-2361 • 540-825-0395 Wayne English, Ceneral Manager souls who live on the edge of existence in this life are hidden away in the hospices for the terminally ill. We have come aware that we ourselves and all of humanity is at risk. It is a sobering and inescapable thought. Few’ people have encountered the relentless sorrow of everyday life as Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity. Yet she and her sisters freely embraced such a life. As they carry their daily crosses, the all too common callous and cynical attitude tow ard human suffering is absent. They live their lives with joy, Christian charity and compassion. How do thev do it? The Missionaries of Charity are living examples of contemporary disciples of Christ who “pray always and never lose heart.” The strength of their Christian activism is rooted in prayer. Weaker souls exchange activism for prayer. But activism without prayer is easily exhausted because it is devoid of meaning. In contrast, Mother Teresa would insist that her sisters begin each day with the bedrock of solid prayer, including Mass and meditation, even before tending to the needs of the poor. She knew that without perseverance in prayer, her sisters could not persevere in the arduous task of caring for the poorest of the poor. Some time ago, I asked one of the religious superiors Subscribe to the Rappahannock News. Cali 675-3338. of the Missionaries of Charity who knew Mother Teresa to tell me something about her spirituality. She said that Mother was constantly aware of the presence of God. In other words, she was aware of the presence of Christ in every conversation, in every event of her daily life. Think about that for a moment. In a fast-moving world with many distractions, who among us might make the same claim? a constant, awareness oi the presence God - really is not easy. In fact, for many, the “presence of God” amidst the bitter trials of life would seem to be a cruel joke. Who can think of God when there is so much injustice and suffering in our lives and in the world? But the beautiful life of Mother Teresa, her religious order, as well as the lives of the saints, proves that it can and must be done. The Cross of Christ is not a stumbling block, it is the key to the meaning of our existence. There is nothing new in our present crisis except for new variations on an old theme. Life is dangerous. Always has been, always will be. None of us will get out of this life alive. So we must have the proper perspective on the ancient battle between good and evil as we are called upon to “fight the good fight” for the Lord. There should be little time for fear. Only Christ, not fear, is the center of our lives and our constant companion. This basic fact of our existence and our every endeavor must be undergirded by perseverance in prayer. Rev. Pokorsky is pastor of St. Peter’s Catholic Church near Washington.

The fresh flowers brought to Princess Diana's home at Kensington Palace created an expansive floral carpet. The deaths of two guards in Washington, D.C. prompted people to bring flowers to the Capitol building steps. These floral tributes have been emulated extensively across the country, as people use flowers as expressions of grief, respect, and symbols of life. Moreover, books Filled with blank pages give people opportunity to express their thoughts about the lives and deaths of those whom they love and admire.

Mrs. Katzen speaks to Garden Club members ; By Susan Jones Rappahannock News Writer Rappahannock Garden club members learned much about preserving the environment, right in our their own back yards, from Mrs. Jay (Paddy) Katzen, speaker at the club’s October meeting. ; As a special assistant to Virginia’s Secretary of Natural Resources, Mrs. Katzen sees Jier job as linking Virginians to their environment, mainly as individuals. She maintains J,hat it’s what each of us does that’s important. Mrs. Katzen exposed the tlub to many state programs, publicized through her office, that would help individuals, as well as groups, better our environment. One program called “Bayscapes,” a homeowners guide to back yard conservation, discusses measures such as tree planting, wildlife habitat, ponds and wetlands, composting, mulching, and nutrient management. Other programs publicized through her office focus on educating children on the environment. Most involve working with the schools to bring nature to the school yard itself. Mrs. Katzen also discussed storm water management with “rain gardens” planted near drainage pipes; these plantings filter rain runoff before it goes underground. Raparian buffers along stream banks act in a similar manner, and keep stream banks from eroding. This month club members entered grasses and mums for horticulture competition. Blue ribbons went to Charlotte Laing, Celine Siira, Helen Fairfax, Ruth Baumgardner, Mary Priest, and Susan Jones. Blue ribbons for floral design were awarded to Louise Bondelid, Celine Siira, Jo-an Getsinger, and Joanne Tepper. Hostesses for the meeting were Joanne Tepper, Pat Whorton, and Susan Jones. Next month’s meeting will include a demonstration of innovative holiday decorations members can create themselves. In early December the Rappahannock County Garden Club will again be selling Christmas wreaths, garlands, and swags that members make themselves from greens cut fresh in county. The greens workshop days are Dec. 3, 4, and 5. Watch for more information on ordering these special greens.

Have a safe and happy week. The healthy garden More on bulbs By Donna LaPrk Rappahannock News Writer My husband, upon reading my last column said, “But you didn’t even give planting instructions!” Of course, it is the naughty wood elves’ fault! They have now apolo- A gized for being so rude f and offer amends by M passing on the infor- f mation this week. In truth, it is all my fault, for having been so carried away with florid descriptions that it left no room for practical matters of depth, soil and technique. So first, the matter of planting. The package and catalog instructions really are quite sufficient, but generally, a depth of 3-4” for small bulbs (crocuses, snowdrops, grape hyacinths), 6” for daffodils and 8” for tulips and other large bulbs is advised. oon neeas to ue loose, well drained and benefited with additions of compost, sand and peat moss or leaf mold. Some catalogs now offer “organic” fertilizer blends for bulbs. While these are fine, you can also mix your own with bone meal, fish meal, kelp and compost. A small amount ( 1-2 tablespoons) can go right into the hole during planting. Or, if your garden beds are already well seasoned with organic matter as mine are, you could top dress with the same ingredients during the summer. Don’t forget to mulch after the ground freezes. Shredded wood or straw will decompose and add more humus to the soil. Not only is friable soil better for bulbs, it’s a great deal easier on you, come planting time, especially if you intend to do the job by hand. Some books I’ve read offer the advice of using a dibble for bulb planting. This just makes me laugh. While this may pass muster for crocuses and snowdrops, I’d love to see one of these authors ply their dibbles for tulips in Virginia clay soil! Several bulb- planting tools are available to assist the gardener. Though for years I have stubbornly planted by hand, the sudden arrival this month of hundreds of bulbs ordered in a summertime giddy fit prompted me to make an acquaintance with modern bulb technology! A friend who on occasion helps me with large garden projects happened to be in possession of an auger —like implement. When attached to a drill (and extension cord), this wonder executes neat, precise planting holes in record time, saving gardener’s tendonitis, too. Still, there are bulb planters, handled devices which purport to pull out a core of soil when stepped on or pressed into the soil. Oldfashioned planting bars, a long handled step-on-down and into the soil is supposed to work well for grassy or rocky grourid. As I mentioned last time, to create a natural look with bulbs, space them irregularly. Large holes, of one or more feet in diameter may be dug to plant a large group of daffodils or tulips. Also, if I am starting a new bed or border, I wait until I have perennials planted before adding bulbs. This way, I can better visualize, come July, when the bulb catalogs arrive, where the heights, colors and shapes will look best, as well as where there is space. You might even try marking labels with the names of ^ prospective bulb inhabitants to place in empty garden spots, so as not to forget just where you’d envisioned that perfect drift of white Mount Hood daffodils or a lovely apricot parrot tulip near a bleeding heart gone dormant and invisible in the fall. f I here may no sight quite arresting as a “meadow” planting of flowering bulbs. If you have the budget, time and site for creating this , you will be rewarded for years each spring. For planning, think like a meadow: when the grass is short in early spring, snowdrops, crocus, and snowflakes make an appearance. These would be followed by taller bulbs, such as daffodils, fritillaries , Stars of Bethlehem and scilla. As the grass grows taller, tulips , lilies and foxtail lilies (eremurus) could bloom. Don’t mow, of course, while this is occurring. If you hold off mowing until September, lycoris and camassia (for damp spots) could extend the bulb succession. If you are ordering a large quantity of bulbs, “wholesale” catalogs are the way to go. I happen to like Van Engelen in Connecticut. (Their number is 860-567-8734). Now the wood-elves are quite peeved with me for taking up all of this column and never mentioning the native and woodland — appropriate bulbs! As it is not a good idea to perturb the elves, who are rather coy in nature, I have promised them to present the woodland bulbs, and where to buy them, even, in the next writing!

Festival brings community together By Steve Miller President of AACA The beautiful blue sky and balmy fall weather was ideal for the Country Fall Festival at the Amissville Fire Rescue fair grounds on Oct. 13. An estimated 2,000 visitors from Culpeper, Rappahannock and Northern Virginia attended. Over 48 local civic groups, churches and local farms, crafters, and businesses participated with 80 other sponsors. The live animal displays were a big hit with young and old - including llamas from Lazy S Ranch (Pat and Charlie Sher), baby pigmy goats (Heritage Springs), bantam chickens and exotic pigeons (Touchstone Farm), RAWLS dogs and, of course, donkeys displayed by Tally-Ho 4-H (Dixie Meadows, Helen Dixon). Highlights of the continuous music entertainment, hosted by Jeff Light of the Rappahannock Lions, were the gospel singers and Highroads puppet show from Front Royal, an accordion and harmonic duo by Frank Schmidt and Jeff, and impromptu renditions of popular and patriotic songs by local youth groups including the RCHS Cheerleaders, the Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. Real Estate Directory Ihe Amissvule Baptist Church’s free children’s game area was also a great success as was the free face painting offered by the Cheerleaders. The Fire Station was open to show its equipment and Misty Mountain demonstrated traditional spinning. A grand selection of foods was available ranging from BBQ Wings (United Methodist Youth Group) to the Ruritans hot dogs, ever-popular Barney’s funnel cakes, fresh Williams Orchard cold cider and steak sandwiches by AACA. The “cake walk” run by New Harvest Christian Fellowship was a particular attraction. Pappy’s Kettle Com was back with its old time treat. T'V* n rlf ortlnir A mi'nmnlln historic homes drew high interest and many questions. These photos and short stories on eight historic village homes built between 1750 through 1910 was just a fraction of the 30 some local sites documented in an effort led by Hal Hunter, Mrs. Erma Lawson, and Vivian Yancey. Many folks who came by offered information on additional properties they knew and stories of the past, including Mr. and Mrs. Cordani, formerly of Amissville now living in Central Virginia. The display also provided information on the County Historic Survey. The “Old Jack” Civil War print of Stonewall Jackson on the March “through Amissville” being raffled by AACA, with Old Sperryville Bookshop, to support funding of that survey was also on display. Raffle tickets are still available - see amissville.com. A silent auction plus a number of special raffles were held. These included the 4-H drawing of a Dixie Meadow donkey with proceeds going to the Sept. 11 fund, AACA’s Pentagon Fund Gift Basket raffle, and Boy Scout Troop 975 offer of a beautiful red, white and blue throw hand knit by Cindy Chapmen of Amissville. These activities and the many American flags displayed the compassion and unique “pull together” character of this rural Rappahannock community. All considered the Festival, as a great opportunity for village neighbors to come together, share, and have fun. Plans are already underway for an even better event next year! Artists’ reception "Garden Images" is the title of an exhibit of new works by Virginia artists Mary Brownstein and Margaret Novak to be seen during the month of November at the Middle Street Artists Gallery in Washington.
