Road Hearing Quiet At Board Meeting This year the Virginia Department of Highways instituted a new process of determining road improvement in localities across the state. Instead of a single hearing at budget time for improvements and maintenance, Highway officials decided to hold public meetings on si* year secondary road improvement plans apart from budgetary considerations on maintenance projects. Last Thursday, the Rappahannock Supervisors and resident highway engineer Don Askew dealt with the county's six year road plan at the regular Board meeting. Attendance was sparse and most of the people who spoke seemed concerned with maintenance problems and snow removal, rather than improvement projects. Compared to clashes and arguments that have marked similar meetings in other jurisdictions, the session at the courthouse in Washington was short, orderly and quiet. "People still don’t realize that the process has changed,” commented Askew later. He expressed concern that county residents would turn out in full force for hearings scheduled in April that are now intended to deal only with maintenance i m - allocations — not provement projects. Before going over project requests from residents of the county’s five magisterial districts, Askew acknowledged the assistance of Thomas Williams in formulating Rappahannock’s six year plan. He explained that the plan was flexible and would be reviewed at public hearings every two years after its adoption by the Supervisors, scheduled for next month’s Board meeting. Askew noted that it wasn't possible to give one-fifth of the total improvement budget to each of the five districts every year. "We came up with an overall plan for the county and tried to spread the money around a little bit...some of the districts have more miles of roads than others and over the years, more money may have been spent in some districts than in others...We try to spread the money around as much as possible,” he said. Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke interjected that the money available for improvement projects would be influenced by the Board of Zoning Appeals ruling on the Harris Hollow Ski area’s special use permit application. “I notice you’ve got some plans in there for tentatively costly im provements on that road.” If the application is turned down, Luke noted, it would free money for other projects. “It would give us more for something else,” he said. “la this a possibility or would you take it and put it in some other county?” Luke asked the resident Highway Engineer. "No," answered Askew. "This is improvement money that comes to the county and once it comes to the county we're going to spend it.” Askew said later that improvements to the Chester Gap road had perhaps the number one priority in the county. According to Askew, the first .7 mile of the road is just not wide enough. “We have a terrible problem in that area,” he acknowledged. “People have all kinds of$ difficulties getting up and down.” At Thursday’s public hearing, Supervisor Butch Eastham and Chester Gap residents Hubert Gilkey anjj Pete Rawlings proposed that improvements be undertaken as soon as feasible. According to Askew, a contract project for improvements to the Chester Gap road has been planned for many years but implementation has been delayed due to red tape with the Highway Department and federal agencies involved. He promised it would be “the very next contract project” undertaken in Rappahannock and anticipated work would begin “late next fall or early the following spring if we don’t run into problems with all our reviews.” was secured, the partners hired Rappahannock engineer Fanning Baumgardner to design a special system that met their requirements—along with those of the Health Department and Town of Washington. Renovation, handled by Gregory Monahan’s Monecs Corporation of Boston, began last fall with Patrick and Reinhardt on site overseeing the work in progress. All of the personal attention to detail has paid off. It is difficult to remember the storage and display rooms that formerly made up the Country Store. The premises have been completely transformed into an elegant, exquisitely furnished dining room which seats forty. The chairs and tables were built to the owners Snow And Wind Closes Schools - Roads Snow and high winds forced school closings again this week as drifts piled up on both secondary and primary roads throughout Rappahannock County. Assistant Highway Engineer Doug Bywaters reported that 85 percent of the county’s roads were blocked Monday night. He added that the Department hoped to hale all routes open by midnight on Tuesday, barring any problems with equipment breakdowns. According to Bywaters, and Resident Engineer Don TYPICAL OF THE AREA and much of the nation ia this snow scene. The Blue Ridge Mountains make a fitting backdrop for the Rappahannock foothills near Sperryville. French Country Restaurant Opens In Washington By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The culinary history of Rappahannock County added a chapter last week with the opening of a French country restaurant by Patrick O’Connell and Reinhart Lynch—The Inn at Little Washington. For Patrick and Reinhardt, it was the fulfillment of a dream that’s been five years in the dreaming. During that time, the two partners have spent hundreds of hours planning and refining ideas as to what a country inn should embody. They visited, studied and worked at similar operations throughout the area. At the same time, they continued consultations with an architect on THE perfect design for their restaurant and settled on the building which formerly housed the Country Store of Washington, Virginia as first choice for a location. The first stumbling block was the sewage system. They spent over a year negotiating for a drainfield easement on property behind Merrill Motor Company across the street. Once the easement Askew, Rappahannock is in “fairly good shape” regarding supplies of chemicals used for snow removal. Stocks of sodium chloride had dropped following earlier winter storms, Bywaters noted, “until recently shipments replenished the Department’s supply. Askew acknowledged he had been hit with a barrage of complaints on the condition of county roads but maintained there was little his department could do to improve the situation. using chemicals tor snow removal is prohibitively expensive for anything but primary routes, according to Askew. In addition, he noted that chemicals don't work well on gravel roads anytime or on surface treated roads in low temperatures. With the area’s recent below freezing daytime highs, salt shipments had frozen in Highway Department trucks before they could be unloaded. “We’ll have a problem just using it until it thaws,” Askew said. In place of chemicals. Highway Department efforts have been aimed at using sand and gravel on hills, curves and trouble spots to give motorists traction—at least in spots, Askew maintained. The rainstorm that followed a heavy snowfall two weeks ago created the “most treacherous thing we've had to put up with,” he commented. specifications from local wild cherry wood. Crewel patterned carpeting matches the stain used on the furniture. The “Queen Atlantic”, an old wood cookstove painted fire engine red, squats at the entrance to the dining room, displaying the daily selection of freshly baked pastries. Basket shade “chandeliers”, designed by Patrick, hang over the tables and cast a soft glow throughout the dining room. Patrick said he had paid particular attention to The Inn’s lighting system after visiting so many restaurants where patrons either sat bathed in neon or strained their eyes to read the menu by flickering candles. The unique basket chandeliers provide just the right amount of light—enough to clearly see a menu but not too much to spoil that special candle glow effect that is flattering to women, young and old. The kitchen of the Inn is bom out of years of observing the mistakes and problems of other kitchens in which they have worked. They have avoided the errors of others and have a pleasant, workable arrangement affording convenience for time and effort. The kitchen is larger than those of many renowned restaurants in the Washington, D. C. region. Elegance extends even to the bathrooms where the ladies room is decorated with imported French wallpaper and custom made vanities. As a final touch, Reinhardt plans to keep fresh flowers on the vanity where they will (Continued on Page A-6) R*ppmhm*OOck Nmn Photo/S.

It is substantially larger than the kitchens of many of the well known metropolitan area dining establishments.

Students Here Perform Above Their Ability According to results from standard achievement tests administered nationwide, students in Rappahannock public schools are working above their ability level. County scores on individual SRA tests in reading, math, language and other subjects compared favorably with scores from students in other small towns but fell off slightly when measured against national averages. Ability level of Rappahannock eighth graders ranked in the 34th percentile nationally, with 33 per cent of U. S. eighth graders below and 66 per cent above county scores. Eithth grade scores in individual subject areas were consistently below ability level compared to national averages and consistently above average ability of small town students. Accordingly, Rappahannock eighth grade scores did not drop “significantly” below the national norm in any area and weren’t “significantly” above the small town norm except in language arts and math. Despite test results that show Rappahannock eighth Filing Deadline For Town Offices All persons who are eligible and wish to be prospective candidates in the election for the Town of Washington qn May 2, this year must file their candidacy by March 7.

Measured against 8.0 as grade attainment, county eighth graders scored at 6.8 grade level in reading and science, 6.6 in use of sources, 6.7 in social studies, 6.9 in language arts, 7.1 in math and 6.8 in overall studies. Compared to last year’s test results for the eighth grade class, this year’s scores showed significant improvement in reading, language arts, math and social studies. The most dramatic increase came in math—a jump from the 26th to 41st percentile. County fourth graders, scored much closer to grade level work than did the older students, actually surpassing fourth grade level in both language arts and overall composite. Measured against 4.0 as average fourth grade attainment, Rappahannock fourth graders scored 3.9 in reading, math, science and use of sources, 3.8 in social studies; 4.3 in language arts and 4.1 in overall composite. Compared to other students in small towns.

Library Holds Evening Hours Despite Snow Mrs. Frances Tabler reports that from the first evening opening on October 11 through January 31 fiftyfive persons have taken advantage of the Library’s 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday hours. These include browsers and newspaper readers as well as students who find the new hours convenient for research. During frigid January 1978, 422 people visited the Library and checked out a combined total of 688 books; records and cassettes; magazines; and jigsaw puzzles. Many snowbound county residents are enjoying books from Mrs. Margaret Abromowitz’s table of selected ‘‘Oldies but Goodies—Books You May Have Missed The First Time Around.” These will be featured through February. New books include George Stone’s "Blizzard," a novel about an unrelenting snowstorm which paralyzes the northeastern U. S., Agatha Christie’s “Autobiography;” May Sarton’s journal, "The House by the Sea;” Art Buchwald, "Down the Seine and Up the Potomac;” James Fixx, ‘‘Complete Book of Running;” and for those looking toward Spring, the 1977 US.DA. Yearbook, “Gardening for Fun and Profit." There are also two books by local author Jane Cooper, “Woodstove Cookery; at Home on the Range,” and “Love at First Bite,” a delightful cookbook for children. Another child-pleaser is Peter Spier’s "Noah’s Ark,” recent winner of the Caldecott Medal, given for the most distinguished picture book of the year.

LYNNE BAINES and science project. Idea Published Learning, tne magazine for creative teaching, contains in the February issue this year, an idea submitted by Mrs. Lynne Baines, a faculty member of Rappahannock Elementary School. Mrs. Baines, who had developed an impressive science program at the school, generated enthusiasm in her students by having them paint T-shirts featuring the internal organs of humans. Instead of drawing them on paper which would be filed away in a notebook, she had them transfer their art work permanently to the shirts where it could be visible often. Though a small monetary fee was paid by the magazine, Mrs. Baines said the greatest stimulation comes from knowing that interest and enthusiasm has been injected into the curriculum which could become otherwise monotonous, and the response of those seventh graders was a reward in itself. It is also good to have an outlet where we can share ideas with others, she concluded. FIREWOOD AND LOGS are being cleared from the highway right-of-way in Amissville in preparation for the continued dual laning of Route 211. The trees are being salvaged for fuel and lumber, rather than bulldozed into heaps and burned as so often occurs. Utility companies could also use this method, for untold dollars and wood are wasted on right-of-ways. A workshop in Effective Communication Skills will be offered in Culpeper in February. The workshop is designed to help participants explore assertive methods of expressing themselves directly and openly without infringing on the rights of others.

It is your REALTOR saying that he is coming right over with a prospect. You hang up the phone. What’s the next thing you do? Turn on every light in the house. Why? Because you want to give the prospect the best image you can of the comfort, beauty and livability you are offering. In other words, you want to sell a home not a house. And full illumination is the best way to give your home that “lived-in” look. Furniture and rugs and fixtures take on a warm glow from the proper lighting. Here are a few “bright” ideas: Turn on every lamp in the living room, bedrooms and family room. Be careful about turning on the overhead lights in these rooms for it could be harsh and make the room look uninviting. Turn on every light in a storage room or closet. Go all out in illuminating the kitchen—the cheerier the better. Brighten up the bathroom too — but carefully choose the right wattage for bulbs by the mirror, pick the most flattering one. Remember, it’s just as important to have lights on in the afternoon as it is for a night-time showing.

In this form of ware the decoration is produced by liquid clay painted onto the surface of the vessel in a contrasting color. Britain created its earliest slipware in the Roman period, but most collector’s items date from the seventeenth century on. Usually the body of the dish, mug, or pot was the natural red color of the clay. The slip of contrasting clay was either painted on by brush, poured on by a slip trailer, or blown on through a tube. The slip could be made from natural brown or white clay mixed with water, and metallic oxides added for other colors.

Leader loused up one issue so badly it advised its readers to take the issue and “tear the paper in half. Keep tearing until you have a pile of shreds. Put this high-grade confetti in a shoebox and set it aside until New Year’s Eve.” The Hillsdale (N.J.) Bulletin refused to correct its headline, “Council Spits On Shade Tree Appointment,” contending it was obvious it should have read “Splits”. The Corning (N.Y.) Leader is still reeling under the shock of publishing, “Children of all ages, for a small fee, will be able to paint their own morals on the wall.” Corning mothers had the Leader’s telephones fairly bouncing on the hook. And the Bryan (Tex.) Eagle swallowed hard as it corrected the topic of a local discussion group from “How to Say No to a Baptist and Survive” when it should have said “How to say no to a rapist ...” For local flavor, the Journal reports, “When the Des Moines Register switched its ‘births’ and ‘deaths’ column headlines, city editor Paul Laurence spent the better part of a day writing apologetic letters.” Some say the corrections “are a tactic to improve the newspaper’s credibility.” Back in our family we never thought about credibility; we made corrections primarily to save our lives. The late Jim Wilson of Carroll had the right idea. Having been in both the weekly and daily business, Jim decided the main advantage of having a daily was that you only had to wait 24 hours to make a correction. —Don Reid in Iowa Bulletin Parity ? Parity, a concept developed by economists, is the price (in current dollars) that will give the commodity the same purchasing power (as goods and services purchased by farmers and specified production costs) as the commodity had during the 1910-14 base period. The parity price for a commodity is calculated using an “adjusted base price,” which results from dividing the average price received by farmers for the commodity in the previous 10 calendar years by the average Index of Prices Received by Farmers for all commodities (1910-1914 equals 100 per cent) for the same 10-year period. The adjusted base price is then multiplied by the most recent Index of Prices Paid by Farmers including interest, taxes and wage rates (1910-1914 equals 100 per cent) to yield the current parity price for the commodity. Parity has been explained in many different ways—By definition it means fair and equal. The parity price for an agricultural commodity is the dollars and cents price that will give you the same purchasing power in terms of goods and services bought by farmers that such commodity had in the 1910-1914 base period. An example might be if, in the base period. 50 bushels of corn might have been sold and the profits used to buy a ton of fertilizer. The parity price of corn at any moment is that price which would enable a farmer to buy a ton of fertilizer with the proceeds from 50 bushels of corn. Parity prices are noted on the average change in prices of all goods and services rather than on individual items. —Rappahannock New» Photo/S Latham THE WIND MONDAY NIGHT misdirected the location of the Rappahannock race course, where the annual point-to-point is scheduled the first Saturday, in March.

They are truths we need to be reminded of today. 1 am enclosing a copy. Ten Cannots You cannot bring about propserity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

In Richmond Delegate Would Have Model Board Certify Teachers By JIM POPE Arundel Mew*paper* Staff Writer Teachers are the only professional group ‘‘denied a voice establishing qualifications for entrance, licensure and professional discipline,” according to the patron of legislation which would establish an autonomous board to oversee the teaching pro- POPE fession. Del. Ray Garland (RRoanoke), patron of House Bill 421, told the House Education Committee last week, “Unlike the other professional schools, teacher training programs are largely self-certifiying of their own graduates. The certification apparatus in the (state) Department of Education is mainly a rubber-stamping affair. "This is not a sound professional model and inevitably causes educators to suffer in comparison with the other professions,” Garland said. Garland’s proposed legislation would change that by setting up a 17 member board "to make and enforce regulations respecting cer tification, recertification and decertification of educators.” The board would also approve teacher training programs, Garland told the committee at its public hearing last Thursday. The proposed board would be made up largely of members of the teaching profession—seven public school teachers, one private school teacher, three school administrators and two members from teacher training institutions. The remaining four*1 seats would be filled by members from the public. Teacher certification is now handled by the state Board of Education which is opposing Garland’s bill. Henry Tulluch of the state board told the committee that teachers are now represented by a teachers advisory group that meets four times a year. He said that the change “would be a costly and inappropriate action.” The state board, he said, has moved to provide greater representation from the profession. Del. Lewis P. Fickett Jr. (D-Fredericksburg), who proposed similar legislation last session, said the teaching profession is "discriminated against” because it does not have a professional review board composed of members of the profession. Tulluch said that teaching ^ a “public institution” and should be “controlled by the desires and needs of the public. “You’ve heard it said that education is too important to leave up to the educators. Education has always been considered the public’s business.” In his statement to the committee, Garland said, “While I believe very strongly that educators deserve the same dignity of substantial self-governance that has been accorded to other recognized professions, I am not interested...in granting any form of monopoly power to educators that will work against the public interest; but I believe that the composition of this board as embodied in House Bill 421—with 25 percent of the seats held by public members—will assure a lively diversity of viewpoint.” Representatives of the state Parent Teacher Association and of the state School Boards Association stated their opposition to the legislation. A member of the Virginia Education National Vo-Ed Week February 12-18 has been designated National Vocational Education Week. It will be observed throughout the country by educational institutions, teachers and students. The theme, “Your Professional Commitment Builds the Skills of America,” denotes the importance of the programs offered. The purpose of this national observance is to bring attention to the merits and accomplishments of vocational education. Citizens of the communities are encouraged to visit the Piedmont Technical Education Center near Culpeper which serves Rappahannock students, and view on-going projects and programs during this week. According to acting principal, John H. Jenkins, the faculty of the Piedmont Technical Education Center is ready to answer any questions which you may have regarding Vocational Education. The public is invited to visit the school during National Vocational Education Week, February 12-18. The school is located on Route IS south of Culpeper and is open from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Rapp Chats By RAP OWINGS in Despite modern technology, we still depend wholly on nature for America’s bountiful supply of food. Hence the battle to control insect pests is a never ending one. Last summer a newcomer to Rappahannock, the cereal leaf beetle, partially defoliated several fields of spring planted oats. Later in the season an airplane and the best pesticides science has devised were called in to do battle with the fall armyworm. The armyworm won and we lost a big chunk of our late planted corn. Perhaps a brief review of last years experiences and history of these two insect pests will help in planning this years cropping system. Like so many of our serious insect pests the cereal leaf beetle came over from the old country. It was first identified in Michigan in Association said that his group is backing Garland’s legislation. Garland said that the board would be appointed by the governor, subject to approval by the General Assembly. The legislation would expire in 1986 unless reenacted by the legislators. “It would be my hope that the board would serve to exert leadership over an extended period of time to upgrade teacher training programs; and to provide a device whereby the problem of the incompetent educator can be addressed in a responsible manner. Right now, this problem is being largely swept under the rug, and there is no really good device available to deal with it. “The profession says it wants to do more selfpolicing, and I take them at their word,” Garland said. He said that he hopes the bill will be acted on by the committee some time this week. A Day To Remember The date was February 13, 1973; the place was Clark Airfield, Manila, and the Hanoi P.O.W.’s were returning. One by one these courageous men stepped from the transport plane. With uplifted arms, signal of their unconquered spirit, they showed the world their corporate expression of victory. That spirit and valor which has made the United States a proud and great nation. With their smiles of untold joy and their God Bless America, they closed the door of Hanoi horror to receive the honor of America the beautiful. February 13 was a day of exultation, a treasured time of history to forget the awful past and to celebrate the present with reverence. The several books containing first hand accounts of these P.O.W.’s are moving testimonies suggesting the need of a proper and lasting recognition of their recorded bravery. The Amissville Ruritan Club has drawn the following resolution to that end: RESOLUTION WHEREAS it is resolved, that the American people are duty bound to establish a lasting and properly enduring honor, suitably expressing our high esteem for those gallant prisoners of war, who, with indomitable fortitude, upheld the traditional Code of Honor, as pledged by the United States armed forces. WHEREAS in further recognition of those P.O.W.’s held during the Vietnam, Korean, First and Second World Wars, and other conflicts, who, with unparalleled courage and stamina, exceptional physical and spiritual endurance, steadfastly resisted the enemy’s prolonged torture of . body and mind, endured the terror and isolation of total darkness, suffered cruel deprivation of news from home and family to lift the prestige and distinction of our military men to a new and admirable fame. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Congress of the United States declare that significant and historic day, when our P.O.W.'s returned from Washington VFD To Meet The Washington VFD will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday, Feb. 13, at 7:30 p.m. As usual, all members are requested to be in attendance. Hanoi, as - Heroes Day - February 13 to be an annual acclaim of pride by the American people for all prisoners of war, who, though facing torture and even death have enshired their honor, thpir faith, and their valor to uphold the glory of these United States. Herman R. Terhune Patriotism Committee Theodore C. Barron President In March of this year the P.O.W.’s will hold their first big reunion, the 5th. The Amissville Ruritans have requested all loyal and patriotic citizens to offer their endorsement of the resolution on a letter or post card to the club. These names, as well as the several civic and military organizations will be sent to the P.O.W. reunion as America’s expression of their remembrance of February 13, 1973. The resolution will be further processed in Congress as sufficient public opinion is registered. H R. TERHUNE Guest Ministers Ministers who are participating in an Interfaith Awareness Conference which is scheduled for Monday in Culpeper will be guest speakers at churches in Rappahannock this Sunday.

Ellis, pastor Alum Spring Baptist Church. , 1962 when it damaged oat*, wheat, and winter barley. The beetle has continued to spread east and last spring the larvae could be found throughout the county feeding on spring seeded oats. Several fanners were forced to spray in an attempt to salvage an already drought ^ damaged spring oat crop. The U. S. D. A. after careful study and research has introduced biological control measures that will eventually, we hope, control this insect. In the meantime if you plan to plant oats this spring, plan to make frequent field inspections for the cereal leaf beetle larvae. And be prepared to spray. In Rappahannock late planted com was severely damaged by the fall armyworm. Starting about the first of August the worms shredded the leaves, entered the whorl, cut off the tassels, bored through the com husk and turned the ear into a brown mushy mess. Early in the game, tanners with late planted corn were alerted to the problem and many elected to spray. Robert Settle coordinated the aerial spray program and we crossed our Angers and waited to observe the results. The worms kept on eating. Oh, we put a temporary dent in the population but we had two big problems: we couldn’t get the worms out where we could kill them. Many of the worms were inside the stalk or the ear and had plugged up the entrance holes with fecal matter like a cork in a wine bottle. The spray material just couldn’t get to them. On top of this, thousands upon thousands of worms were hatching from newly laid egg masses every day. Later in the season, the fall armyworm moved into newly seeded Alfalfa. Wherever 1 stopped and marked out a square foot I could count 5 to 8 worms. Enough to eat a newly seeded field of Alfalfa down to the bare ground within a few days. Fortunately the caterpillars were out in the open and farmers were able to control them and save their Alfalfa crop. The fall armyworm winters in Florida—Gulf Coast states, and is a regular late summer visitor to our area. A close cousin to the true armyworm, it has a different life style and usually goes unnoticed. Last year natural controls failed and the fall armyworm population exploded from the deep south north to New Jersey. Entomologist therorize that the extreme cold last winter cut down on the predacious insects which attack the worms. Then came an early warm spring with southerly winds that gave the moths an early start north. Next came the drought, and dry weather retarded the development and spread of viruses, fungi and bacteria that kill the worm. As the females arrived, they laid eggs starting a continuous life cycle - egg • caterpillar • pupae • moth • egg, that was complete from egg to egg in 30 days. This continued until we had a killing freeze. No one I have talked to can remember an outbreak like this. So it would seem the odds would be in favor of not having this problem this year. No guarantee. No refunds. The agricultural agents in this five county area all agree that we did not find any significant fall armyworm damage in corn planted before May 15. Robert Leake, who planted 1600 acres of corn, starting early in the season and finishing up late, also agrees with this statement.

They handled hunt club functions, weddings and parties, for three to 300 throughout Rappahannock, Fauquier, Loudoun, and adjoining counties—getting to know the area and the people. Patrick and Reinhardt credit part of the inspiration for their Washington Inn to L’Auberge Chez Francois, a highly successful French country inn and one of the District’s finest French restaurants. Reinhardt worked in L’Auberge's dining room for a year, polishing his talents as a host, while Patrick chefed in the kitchen taking a tour as both saucier and pastry chef. The menu from The Inn at Little Washington will not be conventionally French but will “reflect a belief in the cuisine of today—a fresh, imaginative approach to cooking, unrestricted by ethnic boundaries,” according to the proprietors. “We’re not going to be locked into the standard boring printed menu”, Patrick said. He explained that selections could change daily. “People have been coming to our door offering things—fresh herbs and vegetables. Menu changes,” he continued, “will reflect what we have. If something irresistable is offered to us, we can immediately offer it to our patrons.” Reinhardt and Patrick promise that the quality of food they offer will be high—both in taste appeal and health value. They insist they can keep charges reasonable and stay in business. “We’re doing a great deal of the work ourselves.” Patrick explained. “Most places start out with the expense of paying a chef and then they have to pay a manager—big chunks right off the top.” By filling these two roles themselves, the partners hope to keep their expenses, and more importantly to customers, their prices down in a range that most Rappahannockians can afford. Although offerings change daily, entrees will generally average between $6 and S8 per person. Patrick and Reinhardt have great hopes for the success of their enterprise. The community has been keeping up with the progress of work at The Inn, watching with interest for signs indicating the restaurant would soon open. As renovation neared completion, prospective customers practically laid seige to the new Inn. According to Patrick, "people have been coming to the back, to the front door..." "And to the windows," Reinhardt interjected, “...to make reservations,” his partner continued. With this kind of response THE DECOR AT THE INN OF LITTLE WASHINGTON^includedh^s^ rich green fabric with cafe curtains of lace which afford a feeling of privacy while allowing soft light to come through. The lace is repeated on a paneled half-wall running through the dining room, separating it into cozy, intimate areas.
