V IRGINIA Phon* 67",-3349 25* Parents praise RCES, criticize high school survey results reveal This is the first in a three-part senes examining a Virginia Department of Education survey of the Rappahannock County Public Schools. This first installment introduces the poll and briefly outlines the response of the parties involved. It also details the response of some 150 parents and 27 teachers at Rappahannock County Elementary School who offered their attitudes concerning their school. In the remaining two parts of the series — to be presented in each of the next two weeks — the response of high school students, their parents and their teachers will be spotlighted, and the administratioJi’s reaction to the survey will be discussed. By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Parents of Rappahannock County High School students severely criticized the 25-year-old school building in which their children are educated, and students say they want better courses and more social life, according to a Virginia Department of Education survey of 239 persons directly involved in the education of the county’s youth. In addition, the survey revealed that 40 percent of parents of secondary school students believe job preparation offered by the local school system is inadequate and nearly one-third of that group said their children do not learn to appreciate beauty and the arts. However, more than 80 percent of responding parents said the school system is doing a good job of teaching basic English and mathematics. But more encouraging is the response of parents of elementary school students, where the school consistently earned high marks in nearly every category surveyed by the state education department. ^ The survey, completed in November 1984, is part of an administrative review'conducted by the state education department last fall. The local school board, at its August meeting, adopted an official “topics for action” to improve those areas deemed deficient by the results of the survey. The survey is the latest — and most extensive — attempt by professional educators to determine local attitudes held by teachers, students and parents regarding the local public school system. An adminstrative review is conducted in every public school division in Virginia by a team of educators from across the state who look primarily into the recordkeeping process of the schools. Also included in that review is a 268-question survey of parents and teachers, and also those high school students who last year were sophomores and seniors. The survey elicited 239 responses. In each part of the survey, parents were asked to strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with those questions posed to them. A column for no response or for those who answered “don’t know” is also included. In general, parents of elementary school students gave that school higher grades than did parents of high school students. In particular, the elementary school is doing a better job — especially teaching the basics — than the high school, according to the parents’ response. The survey indicated that parents are generally pleased with the level of education offered their children. (Please see story below.) A large percentage of elementary school teachers, on the other hand, complain that they do not have a sufficient supply of textbooks and that their students do not Our schools First of three parts Rappahannock Elementary have access to needed instructional materials. And, perhaps alarmingly, exactly one-half of the 26 teachers responding said that there is too little professional advisory support provided. Nearly 85 percent of those elementary school teachers said no appropriate instruction is provided for those students identified as being gifted and talented. Teachers also complained that they are offered too few in-service, or in-school, training sessions on a variety of topics. If the 104 parents of elementary school students gave that school a grade of “A,” then high school parents assigned that school a “B” grade. While a good percentage of the 45 high school parents who responded said that school did a good job of teaching the basic educational skills, there were more who disagreed with that assessment than at the secondary school level. Parents of high school students were more critical of a lack of individualized education and were adamant about what they considered to be a lack of facilities, although a large majority agreed that the school grounds were “safe for children.” Additionally, a large percentage of parents of secondary school students said they believe the education being offered their children lacks the emphasis on worldly knowledge, including understanding the free enterprise system and learning to appreciate beauty and the arts. Sophomores, on the other hand, complained that too few course ^ternatives are offered and that there is a lack of clubs to join and activities in which to participate. Also, more than three-quarters of those 70 sophomores responding disagreed with the statement that the toilet rooms are kept “clean and usable throughout the day.” Sophomores were also less enthusiastic about the high school environment than were seniors. Sophomores complained that students generally lacked respect for others and that students were poorly behaved. More than 80 percent of the 67 responding seniors, however, agreed that students were well-behaved and nearly two-thirds said students show respect for one another. High school teachers generally gave high ratings to their performances in the classroom, but one-third of the 18 responding said students do not have access to the necessary instructional materials. Also, a majority of secondary school teachers said they believed the lines of communication to the school board were closed and that too little professional supervisory support is. provided. Secondary school teachers also agreed that the quantity of instruction provided to gifted and talented students is “inappropriate.” Parents give RCES good grades rarents apparently UKe senaing their children to Rappahannock County Elementary School. In nearly all 58 categories polled by the Virginia Department of Education, parents gave RCES high marks in everything from the basic skills to report cards to the quality of food in the school’s cafeteria. Parents apparently are so positive about the school that they rated educational matters higher than teachers who work in the building. I ; in only one area did more than one-fourth of the parents responding criticize the school: Its ability to work with children who are considered either gifted or talented or those who simply possess a special talent — and very often the two are entwined. Otherwise, the 104 parents responding to the survey had nothing but praise for the children’s school. Particularly, parents appear impressed by the quality of education 1 i Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES in the new Aileen Factory Outlet near Flint Hill is Tammy Newlin. The outlet opened Friday. offered at the elementary school. Some 98 percent of responding parents either agreed or strongly agreed that the school does “a good job” teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Another 90 percent go on to say that their children are well prepared for ‘‘further education” upon leaving RCES. In addition, more than 90 percent (Continued on Page 11) Illiteracy week planned Illiteracy is no small problem in America. About one adult in five cannot read a job application or a street sign. That translates into about 27 million Americans defined as functional illiterates, unable to read a newspaper or a book, directions or instructions, fill out a driver’s license application or credit form. The problem gets a special look during Illiteracy Week, Sept. 9-16. Rappahannock County residents are offered a more thorough examination into illiteracy during a national program to combat the problem. Locally, a slide presentation is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Gay Street Theatre. The show, developed by the Literacy Volunteers of America, offers training and technical assistance in organizing local volunteer literacy Peek-a-boo Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner A SUMMER day allowed Shawna Nicholson the opportunity to play outdoors and get into mom’s laundry, where she amused herself with a short version of peek-a-boo. Supervisors set meeting for Monday Rappahannock County Supervisors are scheduled to hold their regular monthly meeting Monday at 10 a.m. in the courthouse. The meeting, usually held on the first Monday of each month, was delayed one week this month due to the Labor Day holiday. A routine agenda is anticipated. The supervisors are expected to be introduced to Elizabeth Stout, a home extension agent who starts this month. Also on the agenda is a report from Del Price of a solids waste management committee. Price said last month that the committee would be prepared to make a recommendation concerning the disposal of solid .waste in Rappahannock County. The county’s current landfill is expected to be filled by early next spring. Also expected are presentations by Dr. John Einarson of the health department, Wayne Cilimberg of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission and Ron Pier Leonardi of Paramount Pest Control. Supervisors are also expected to get an update of the insurance coverage which was approved at their Aug. 16 meeting. projects which utilize volunteer tutors on a one-on-one basis twice a week for an hour per session, tailoring the sessions to the student’s needs. Steve Deupree, chairman of the Charlottesville Literacy Volunteers, will speak briefly on the work of their group in Albemarle County. Doug Ball, who currently teaches prison inmates in Page County and is working with a group in Fauquier County to start a program there, will be present to answer questions about his experience as an LVA tutor. The presentation on illiteracy is being co-sponsored by the Child Care and Learning Center and the Rappahannock County Library. The public is invited to the presentation.

Exchanging countries for an ‘understanding’ By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff W rilcr Rafael Brand has spent the past two weeks getting used to the "wilderness” — Rappahannock County. Rappahannock may not seem like much of a wilderness to those who call this place home, hut Rafael noticed the often spaces and distances between houses right from the start. That is just one of the more obvious differences between Kappa hannock and Seedorf, Switzerland. “Everything here is spread out more, and the houses are not as close together,” Rafael said. “The mountains here are not as high as at home, either.” Rafael, a thin teenager with brown hair and eyes, will spend his junior year at Rappahannock County High School learning about American culture by experiencing it while he experiences American family life in the home of Richard and Pat Helmer. Rafael arrived in Washington, I). C., for his extended first visit to the U.S. late on Aug. 22 due to an unexpected delay in New York. The Helmers introduced him to Rappahannock at 1 a.m. the following day. “He had to get up (later) that morning to go into school to register and immediately start using his English,” said Pat Helmer. “He was thrown into everything right away, but he has handled everything wonderfully.” Rafael has been thrown into everything he wanted when he decided to participate in the “Youth for Understanding” program. “I am doing it for the experience and to learn the language better,” Rafael said. He has to pause and think before speaking, but he does eventually make his meaning clear. His English is amazingly clear for someone who studied the language for only two years, three times a week for 45 minutes. Rafael’s English teacher encouraged him to participate in the program. “He spent a year in this country, and he talked about it a lot," Rafael said. Rafael's native language is Swiss/German, and at least one of his teachers at RCHS is taking that into consideration. His English teacher told him that, on vocabulary tests, he can write the German word if he is really stumped. The teacher will then use a German dictionary to grade his tests. Although he will continue to work on his English, Rafael already knew how to speak the international language of chocolate. “He brought (Continued on Page 3) Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley RAFAEL BRAND stands with his American family for the year: 1-r; Richard Helmer, Kim Helmer, Rafael and Pat Helmer. “He seems to have been bom into the family ” said Pat.

Probe seeks cause of plane’s engine cover loss From Staff and Wire Reporta CHANTILLY — Federal investigators are trying to determine what caused a cover for the engine on a Boeing 737 airliner carrying 120 people to fall off minutes after takeoff from Dulles International Airport. The pilot of People Express Flight 183, bound for Newark, N.J., with 115 passengers and five crew members, turned around just after 7 a.m. Sunday when a passenger said he saw the casing for the engine under the left wing fly off, according to airline spokesman Ed Stukane. The pilot did not declare an emergency, Mr. Stuljane said. “He did the prudent thing, and decided to return and have it checked out,” he said. “The passengers were not in danger. ” The twin-engine Boeing 737-100 jet is equipped with Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7 engines, Mr. Stukane said. Last week the Federal Aviation Administration ordered inspection of JT8D-15 models following an engine fire that caused a British Airtours 737 jet to crash Aug. 22 after takeoff from Manchester, England, killing 54 people. A day after the crash, Pratt & Whitney said it had sent a message to all airlines using engine types J78D-1 to JT8D-15, “re-emphasizing earlier recommendations covering inspections and maintenance of the combustors.” Mr. Stukane described the missing portion on engine No. 1 as a cowling, or an outer shell toward the rear of the engine, which he said may have exposed working parts of the engine. A photograph of the plane’s engine showed an exposed fuel line. Federal officials hoped to find the casing in the area along the plane’s flight path. “A passenger noticed the problem, and notified a customer service manager (flif^it attendant) who told the first officer,” Mr. Stukane said. Emergency equipment was called out to the runway, but the plane landed without incident, he said. Virginia Roundup . L J 7 die over weekend State police reported crowded highways Monday as Virginians returned home from Labor Day weekend trips, and the holiday period’s fatality count in the state climbed to seven. Last year police recorded 13 highway deaths in Virginia over the three-day holiday. The counting period began at 6 p.m. Friday and ended at midnight Monday. State police reported these fatal accidents: • Fernando Flores Balatbat, 39, assigned to the USS Oak Ridge, died at the scene of a 7:50 a.m. crash Sunday on U.S. 58 near Virginia 650 in Southampton County. Police said Balatbat was killed when his car ran off the highway and struck a tree. • Doris Young, 55, of Norfolk, died at 11:08 p.m. Saturday at Norfolk General Hospital. The car in which she was riding had jumped the curb on a Norfolk city street and ran into a light pole about 21/2 hours earlier. • Mark Charlie Irving, 69, of Alton, died at the scene of an accident in Halifax County at 8:25 p.m. Saturday. He was a passenger in a car that ran off the right side of Virginia 751, struck a tree and overturned. • Elverd Columbus McLamb II, 24, of Tampa, Fla., was riding his motorcyle on U.S. 17 in York County when he collided with a truck Friday. He died at Newport News General Hospital at 6:36 p.m. Saturday. , • Steven J. James, 24, of Virginia Beach, was killed at 1:27 p.m. Saturday in Norfolk when he failed to negotiate a.turn with his motorcycle and smashed into a building. • Jerry Wayne Fitzgerald, 37, and James A. Seal, 35, both of Lynchburg, died instantly when they stepped in front of a car driving on Virginia 501 in Campbell County at 1 a.m. Saturday. Less marijuana found PORTSMOUTH — The Coast Guard’s drug war off the Virginia coast, a hot item three years ago with 16 vessels seized and 108 tons of,marijuana confiscated, has1 cooled to one vessel seized and 5 tons taken so far this year. It is the third straight year that marijuana trafficking has declined, and it comes at a time When the Coast Guard’s drug interdiction effort is more sophisticated than ever, officials say. Last week, Coast Guard officials offered several possible explanations for the decline: • Drug smugglers appear to be trafficking more heavily in heroin and cocaine, which are more profitable than marijuana and also easier to conceal. • Major antidrug operations in the Caribbean and in South America have greatly reduced the supply of marijuana and hindered its flow into the United States. , • As the anti-drug effort grows more sophisticated, so, too, do the tactics of smugglers, who are more likely to use airplanes and construct fake compartments and fuel tanks for hiding drugs. Coast Guard officials said statistics on the drug war can be misleading. By its own estimates, the service detects only 20 percent to 25 percent of the drug traffic flowing into the 5th District, which is based in Portsmouth and covers the coasts of Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland. Thus, reading meaning into the numbers is an imprecise business at best, said Lt. Kenneth M. Bradford, operations officer in the Coast Guard’s general law enforcement division in Washington, D.C. “It becomes very speculative when you start looking for reasons for trends. I certainly don’t think it’s a drop-off of our activity,” he said. Dump fire still burns NORFOLK — Concerns about pollution prompted authorities Monday to allow a landfill fire to bum with out efforts to put it out, although the blaze had been brought under control. The fire at the Campostella Landfill began Saturday night and was believed to be the work of an arsonist, fire officials said. It could be a week or longer before the blaze bums itself out, authorities said. Falwell, Jackson meet LYNCHBURG — For the second time in as many days, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Jerry Falwell sat quietly and listened to each other talk about how to end apartheid in South Africa. After being invited to the Sunday service at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Rev. Jackson told the packed, almost entirely white congregation there that he and Rev. Falwell had agreed to be in search of common ground on apartheid. “We have shared various points of view on how to end apartheid,” said Rev. Jackson, a civil rights leader. “It must end as quickly and bloodlessly as possible.” Saturday night, after a day of anti-apartheid, antiFalwell demonstrations, the two met and later spoke to about 2,000 protesters at Court Street Baptist Church. “After being invited by the ecumenical ministers to speak at the rally, I appealed to them to set up a meeting with Rev. Falwell,” Rev. Jackson said. “I thought it was important to talk to him.” Rev. Falwell, the founder of Moral Majority, said he thought it only fair to let Rev. Jackson speak at Thomas Road Baptist Church after he spoke at Saturday’s rally. But before Rev. Jackson spoke, Rev. Falwell said he mentioned to Rev. Jackson that he did not like to politicize the church service. “I told Jesse that it would probably be better not to have a debate forum,” Rev. Falwell said, “but to say anything he wished.” At the service, Jackson said South Africa was a fundamental moral issue best addressed by the Golden Rule. “The Golden Rule is still the rule that will bring peace and justice to this world,” he said. “Treat all children as our children.” 1 he circus is coming to town *»y UArtliNK tiUTUHINSON Rapp^tannock New* Contributing Writer Across the country, kids are humming the tune of that old pop song, anticipating the arrival of the circus in Amissville Tuesday. But parents don’t have to be alarmed. There’s no chance of this circus hiring on a disgruntled youngster, temporarily put out by a school night curfew imposed by mom and dad and ready to run away from home. “Around the circus, we have a story about a little fellow who tried to join us,” says Bobbino the clown, in town recently as an advance woman for the little big top. “He came on the circus lot, looking for a job. He asked and asked and finally, he reached the lion tamer. The boy had heard the lion tamer needed a pie are so tired of sex, crime and violence on television and at the movies, they’re starving for wholesome, family entertainment.” And that’s what the Roberts Brothers circus provides, the diminutive clown proclaims. It has trapeze artists, performers on the unicycle and slack wire, rolla-bolla acts, Tequila the wonder horse, two pony acts, daring performers on the double trapeze aerial ballet, Lisa the elephant — and, of course, the clowns. Bobbino, as part of the troupe with faces painted in eternal smiles or frowns, big floppy feet and baggy pants, isn’t an ordinary clown. She holds the Circus Hall of Fame’s award of merit, the highest honor that can be bestowed on an active member. (‘To be inducted into *1 love every minute of it, every bit of the 11,000 miles I’ve covered so far this year. I'm going to keep on being a clown as long as I can.' Bobbino, clown 70 (or so) plus years old helper and when the boy asked him, the lion tamer agreed to give him a chance. ‘See that cage over there?’ he asked the boy. ‘I want you to go over and clean that cage.’ “ ‘Where’s the lion going to be while I’m cleaning?’ the boy wanted to know. Why, he’ll be in the cage with you,’ the lion tamer answered. Of course, the child went right back home to mommy and daddy,” Bobbino related with a chuckle. “That would be the attitude of anyone with the circus,” she adds. “Parents certainly don’t have to worry about us luring their little ones away.” In fact, the Roberts Brothers circus that will be in Amissville next week shouldn’t give parents anything to worry about, Bobbino stresses. “This is nostalgia, a family show, a recreation of the old-timey circuses that once toured America every summer.” This season, she notes, the circus has played to bigger crowds than normal. “In four or five towns, we’ve had to add an extra show, the demand was so great,” Bobbino says. “Peo the Hall of Fame, you have to be retired for five years or dead — and I’m neither!”) A grandmother of 14 — “They call me Grandma clown” — she was late to answer the call of the big top. “I started out as a concert pianist. I spent my entire childhood on the piano bench, practicing six to eight hours a day,” she recalls. Her career was launched when she was 16 and she spent the next three years touring the Midwest, playing Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Bach and Beethoven. “Now the worst thing that could happen to a girl back then was to grow up to be an old maid. And here I was, 19 years old and single. So I did what any adolescent would do — I ran off and got married.” She and her husband had four kids and moved from her Dayton, Ohio, home to Florida — all in rapid succession. Then he died of lung cancer. She got a job teaching and stayed in the classroom for 25 years. During that time, she became an out-of-the-classroom expert on Punch and Judy. Word spread, and she was asked by the Circus Hall of Fame in next door Sarasota to pro Hoppafiannocfc fletot Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8 00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ONew () Renewal () Check Enclosed NAME__ ADDRESS___ CITY____ STATE__ ZIP__ Second dass postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va, The Rappahannock News is published every Thursday at 39 Culpeper St , Warrenton.

I met a handsome circus performer, we dated, we got married. Now we've been married for 25 years. He's the announcer, the ring'1master, and, as Dr. Hank E. Panky, he’s the magician. And I’m a clown,” Bobbino announces. She’s the little fellow, less than five feet tall, who gets kicked around and pushed about by life. “Everyone identifies with him — he always wins in the end,” she says. Bobbino doesn’t like to tell her age, but add 25 years of teaching to 25 years in the circus plus the 19 years before she began teaching, and the answer is close to 70. Isn’t that a little old for touring up and down the East Coast from March through the end of November, setting up the tents almost every night? Not according to Bobbino. “My kids are so glad that Mom’s got something to do that she enjoys doing. They don’t pressure me to quit. I love every minute of it, every bit of the 11,000 miles I’ve covered so far this year. I’m going to keep on being a clown as long as I can!” On this swing, Bobbino will be one step ahead of the circus, doing advance work, and so will miss the performances in Amissville next week. But the remainder of the Roberts Brothers troupe will be raising the big top for shows at 6 p.m. and at 8 p.m. Advance tickets at $4 for adults, $3 for children are available at Hackley’s Store or from any Ruritan member. The show is sponsored by the Amissville Ruritans who will use the proceeds to support the club’s community service work.

Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner WENDY JENKINS gets a easy ride through the newly opened Aileen Factory Outlet near Flint Hill, which held its grand opening Friday. Beahm reunion By Dorothy Galloway Rappahannock^News Contributing Writer The second annual reunion of the George W. and Nancy Bolen Beahm clan was held on Sept. 1 at the Rappahannock County Park. One hundred Beahm descendants enjoyed a rewarding day against the majestic backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains renewing old acquaintanceships and making new friends. Pnor to partaking of a sumptious meal from the vast variety of mouthwatering food set on the groaning, overloaded tables, a business meeting was called to order where a decision was reached to hold next year’s reunion at the same location on the first Sunday in September. Jim Galloway, of Columbus, Ohio, who, along with his wife, Dorothy, has been researching the Beahm/Beam/Boehm family genealogy with intentions of publishing a family history in 1988, was the master of ceremonies again. He gave a brief outline of the first five generations of the Virginia Beahms, telling some human interest stories and facts about the early pioneers. A let► ter written by Mick Beam Watkins, of Spokane, Washington, who was unable to be present at the gathering this year, was addressed to all her dear friends and relatives. This, along with a poem written by Mick for the occasion, was rea$ by Dorothy Galloway. Frank Beahm, of Alexandria, led the group in singing “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder,” which was the favorite hymn of George W. Beahm. Frank also gave the blessing after which the food was piled high on everyone’s plate. The oldest person in attendance was Georgia Jenkins Vaughn, of Fredericksburg, granddaughter of G.W. Beahm. Tlie youngest was 18 month old John Hines, son of Robert and Lucy Beahm Himes, of Smithfield. Those traveling the greatest distance to attend were Claude Dodsen, Lt. Col. U.S.A.F. Retired, and his daughter, Margaret D. Fudger, of Sumter, S.C. Other out-of-state attendees were from Ohio, Pa., Md. and Washington, D.C. Thanks are extended to Mary Ellen Burke, who, along with her daughters, Hilda Metzger and Pauline Hershey, and the Galloways, were the preparation crew. Brand exchanges for ‘understanding’ Continued from page 1 boxes of beautifully wrapped Swiss chocolates, which have been going fast,” said Pat. The Helmers have three daughters of their own. Their youngest, Kim, is a senior at RCHS. Rafael is their fifth exchange student. “He will probably be the last, at least for a while, since this is Kim’s last year,” Pat said. “Without any other kids here, it would be really isolated.” She said that the routine has been the same with each of the exchange students. “Each child brought different things to the family, though,” said Pat. “Rafael is the most typical teenage boy we’ve had, and he seems to have been born into the family. He has the same crazy sense of humor.” The Helmers have enjoyed the first weeks of Rafael’s stay because of the difference a boy brings to a family. “I’m always amazed when he can get ready for school in the morning in 20 minutes — from start to finish,” Pat said. “It usually takes me that long to get my girls out of bed.” Rafael, too, has a lot to learn about having a girl in the family, or even in his classes. He has a younger brother, and when his class was divided, all of the girls and some boys ended up in one half while the rest of the boys, including Rafael, were in the other half. “My classes are better now with no girls,” Rafael said. “Our girls always argue too much.” He had not made a decision about American girls. He said that RCHS has almost the same number of students as his' school in Switzerland, but the building here is smaller. He has already started practicing with the RCHS soccer team. With soccer practice, horseback riding and swimming, Rafael has had an active few weeks in Rappahannock. He will be taking a break from bicycle riding while here, though. In Switzerland, he rode his bike four kilometers (2 1/2 miles) to school every day. Rafael’s father is a supervisor for a six-mile long tunnel through a mountain in Switzerland, and his mother is a hairdresser. “My parents were sad to see me go, but my brother was happy I was leaving for a year,” Rafael said. This summer, Rafael experienced the other side of the exchange program when a U.S. girl spent the summer with his family. “He had a good introduction to family life with a girl,” Pat said. “He tolerates Kim very well, but I think this will be a year of persecution as they see which one can tease more and pull more tricks.” So far, Rafael and the Helmers seem to be a good match. If a family and an exchange suudent do not get along for some reason, the program offers counselling services and will move a child as a last resort. The Helmers and Rafael are in no need of those services. “Richard is really enjoying having Rafael here since he is the first exchange student we’ve had who is mechanically inclined,” Pat said. “The other day, they took the lawn mower apart and when I looked, they were happily working away — covered in grease.” (Obituaries; Robert K.

New regulations proposed by ABC The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board will hold public hearings on proposed changes in regulations, including outlawing happy hours after 9 p.m. and prohibiting restaurants from advertising reduced-price drink specials. The advisory committee recommends that customers not bo allowed to possess more than two drinks at any one time and no retail licensee be allowed to sponsor “allyou-can-drink” specials at one price. The proposed changes will be the topic of discussion at a public hearing Oct. 22 at the ABC departmental Central Office Building Complex on Hermitage Road in Richmond. Proposals made by the advisory committee other than those dealing SCC declares property values The State Corporation Commission (SCC) announced that the 1985 assessment value of public service corporation property totals approximately $11 billion. The total indicates a jump of about 8 percent over the 1984 assessment of almost $10.2 billion. Utilities providing electric service continued to lead all other utilities with property valued by the SCC at $6.7 billion. Local governments use these figures to collect the appropriate property taxes for local use. Locally, Central Telephone Company of Virginia showed assets of $248,434 inf 1985, an increase of $12,497 over 1984. Elsewhere, American Telephone and Telegraph Co. of Virginia posted assests „ of $288,731, up $12,497 over last year.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V.____ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5,1985 The survey: Surprise The results of a Virginia Department of Education survey which are highlighted in the first of a three-part series this week revealed much about the public opinion of Rappahannock County Schools. Perhaps the biggest reaction was our surprise. Teachers have always been staunch supporters of the education system in which they work. The very nature of any good teacher — or of any worthy employee, for that matter — dictates that a high morale should be present and sustained. Pride has always been a better motivator than anger or discontent. And when it comes to the education of this county’s youth, that education must be reinforced positively. Even though teachers complained that the administration was not terribly supportive and that their superiors were difficult to contact, the remaining opinions suggested very strongly that teachers feel good about what they are doing. That translates into a plus for the school system as a whole. So, that teachers were generally supportive of their school came as no surprise. But what caught our attention was the fact that parents of elementary school children rated the school even higher than did teachers. Particularly, parents rated those areas of basic educational value as high as could be expected on any such survey. We expected the reaction of parents to follow a bell curve, that most common of responses in a survey of this type. Whether the extraordinary ratings are a result of good public relations work or the honest reaction of parents who wholeheartedly believe their children are getting the best education possible, is, naturally, impossible to determine. We hope the results reflect the latter. Nevertheless, it is refreshing to see parents stand up for their children’s school and proclaim their support. We only hope that pledging such support does not some day blind parents, that they can criticize the system for the sake of improving those areas which are in need of improvement. Learning to read jylosi oi >us Degan to learn to read in elementary school. But an increasing number of adults are beginning to admit that they did not receive the same benefits, that they are deficient readers. Some have simple reading problems. Others are functional illiterates, unable to understand the paperwork which has become so much a part of modern living. Some deficient readers were undoubtedly passed along through the system, unaware that a problem existed, perhaps afraid to speak up and ask for help. Others left school early. Both groups need our help. Estimates suggest the illiteracy rate runs as high as one in five adults. That is frightening. Next week is National Literacy Week, a week set aside to spotlight a problem that affects most everyone nationwide. Literacy volunteers are doing what they can to help those who need it. It is our turn to step forward and do what we can to help those volunteers. r Rappahannock Heritage The view ofHogwallow Flats Overlook, to the west of Flint Hill Labor waiver GEORGE BOWLES At its state convention in Norfolk a fortnight ago, the Virginia AFL-CIO very nearly did something unprecedented. The labor organization came close to endorsing a Republican for attorney general. The convention was attended by delegates from about 400 locals representing 12 labor councils. All told, they represented about 100,000 union members and their families. The only time organized labor has given its blessing to a GOP statewide nominee was in 1969, when it favored Republican Linwood Holton over his Democratic opponent, William Battle. Always before, at least in modem Virginia history, the Democrats have received labor’s nod when that nod has been bestowed. In recent years, however, the AFL-CIO endorsement has come to be regarded as very much a mixed benediction. The endorsement carries with it the assurance of poll workers, telephone bank operators and a limited amount of financial help. But it also carries the assurance that, as in the past, the Republicans would use the endorsement as a club with which to batter the Democrats as being the party of big labor. And in Virginia big labor, of course, mean liberalism and all the other code words which the “best people” recognize as not representing the primary interests of the commonw ealth. ' Thus, at the 1985 AFL-CIO convention, Democratic candidate for governor Gerald L. Baliles and attorney general candidate Mary Sue Terry both shied away from the labor endorsement. Both said they wanted, and hoped they would get, the rank-and-file labor support, but neither wanted labor’s formal blessing. Lieutenant governor candidate L. Douglas Wilder did seek the endorsement, however, and received it with enthusiasm. Republican gubernatorial candidate Wyatt B. Durrette and lieutenant governor candidate John Chichester stayed clear of the convention and any corrupting ' influence it might have on their campaigns. But the surprise came when GOP attorney candidate William R. “Buster” O’Brien boldly announced that he would like very much to have the labor nod. The development threw both parties into a short-lived tizzy. The Democrats immediately launched a full court press to have the convention remain uncommitted on the question, while the O’Brien camp worked feverishly to get the approval of the delegates. Just why the Democrats put up such an enormous ruckus to keep O’Brien from getting the endorsement is a bit difficult to understand, except that Democrats always have had a sort of proprietary feeling about labor and the labor movement. Since they have s ’ha proprietary feeling, ^ne party has few qualms about sf ii.ng the help of the rank-and-file .. rkers in their campaigns, although their political good sense tells them that it would be foolish to actively campaign under labor’s banner. It is this willingness to accept labor’s help, and reluctance to acknowledge formally that help, which infuriates state AFL-CIO President David H. Laws. Although he is a former member of the State Democratic Central Committee, Laws has few kind words about this year’s crop of Democratic candidates. But, in the meanwhile, both Democrats and Republicans are playing their labor cards close to their chests. With the exception of Wilder and O’Brien, most candidates — and voters — recognize that in the Old Dominion there is more danger than daring in running as the candidate of labor, or of being tagged even loosely with the union label. Letters to the editor Defending witchcraft To the editor: As a radical feminist and one who practices the Old Religion, variously called Craft Wicca, witchcraft and paganism, I would like to respond to recent letters in your paper. There are those who are entirely mistaken in thinking that patriarchal religion can be reconciled or synthesized with feminist spirituality. The Great Mother, the Triple Godess is not some sort of helpmate in some sort of holy nuclear family scheme. She is all powerful and independent in her own right. Let me say right now that the witchcraft I speak of is not devilworship. Satanism is reverse Christianity. Doctrines of sin and guilt, atonement and salvation are not what we are into as witches. Humankind is not lost and depraved, waiting for some sort of savior or father-figure, a cosmic Rambo to get us out of the mess we are in. It is not the Falwells and the Sun Moons and the various gurus that have the answer. Like my sister, Rita Mae Brown says, “You can no longer look for the answer. You are the answer.” Mr. (Peter) Holley seems to be depending on a patriarchal deity in drag as the answer. We say no to the patriarchy in all its guises. Once, I, myself subscribed to the doctrine of total nonviolence. I do so no longer. There are some evils worse than violence, and some violence is preferable to other violence. One cannot equate bombing Asian or Latin American peasants to soothe some politician’s ego with defending the safety of one’s self or loved ones from a homicidal maniac like a Hitler or Manson. No one has the right to tell oppressed peoples how to liberate themselves, whether they be the Colonies of 1775 or black Soyth African or Afghani peasants today. Or, to take an example closer to home, the woman who “picks up the gun” to protect herself or her children against rape or other violence. The answer is not submission to a patriarchal god, as Mr. Holley tells; it is struggle. This struggle takes many forms. It is all those working for peace, human rights and the protection of the environment. It is the brave lesbian mother raising her child, the workers and residents at battered-women shelters; it is the woman who runs for office on feminist credentials, who plays rugby or bluegrass music or worls as a carpenter, who shoots the man who would rape her, or divorces her creepy husband or who puts an ERA sticker on her car. And it is the man who supports these women in what they try to do. He may be straight or gay, and he is not afraid to say so if he is the latter. He cries when he is miserably unhappy. He prefers Gerry Fararro to Jerry Falwell, not to mention Ronald Reagan, and subscribes to Ms. instead of Playboy. We male witches, or faeries, as we sometimes call ourselves, are constantly working through this. Those of us who are white and Southern have the additional burden of rejecting racism as well as male privilege. No, we do not expect the patriarchy to turn around and become benevolent, stop raping and battering Mother Earth, stop casting dissenters and skeptics into firy pits forever. Therefore, we must strive to end the patriarchy. Each of us can choose how we do this. The important thing is to do it. Like poet-revolutionary Joe Hille wrote, “pie in the sky” simply won’t do. Our Mother has plenty of goodies right here. All we have to do is restore Her to Her rightful place, choose love and justice over greed and hate. We have to do it; no one can do it for us. Pat Bruce Charlottesville off the cuff Paul McFarlane The maid was off this week. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen her all week. The last recollection I have of her was shortly after President’s Day back in February when she mumbled something in Spanish that soundly remarkably like either “I quit; shovel your own dust,” or “your ex-girlfriend just ran off with seven guys on motorcycles.” My Spanish isn’t so good. Bachelor pad In any event, the maid hasn’t been by here in some time. It’s beginning to show. I can tell construction is heavy in this county. I can’t rent a backhoe anywhere to do my place. With the exception of pizza boxes — some empty, some smothering leftovers — dust mountains, a few cob webs (what is a cob, anyway?), somebody else’s dirty sweatshirt, spatterings of last week’s spaghetti sauce, assorted, well-thrown beer cans, a plastic box that last week housed a plastic hamburger that tasted suspiciously like the box surrounding it, every weekday issue of the Washington Post from August, July, June and some of April — without those few incidentals — the apartment is a virtual palace. First, though, let me say something about pizza boxes. And Pizza. Pizza is some of those delights that border on junk food, say, like potato chips. Potato chips start out as potatoes — really healthy, full of good things buried in God’s good Earth. Then, with the aid of an incredible amount of fats and oils, chipmakers turn out the finished product. Pizza starts out as dough, tomato sauce, cheese which, when cooked together, produce pints of greese and oil, two key ingredients everybody knows provide the body with the necessary lubrication to digest. And, like most psuedo-junk food, pizza is not without its downfalls. Research suggests that pizza puts weight on laboratory mice and is believed to be a major contributing factor producing acne. A pimpled mouse is not a pretty sight. But then, when was the last time you saw a fat, pimpled mouse in the pizzeria. Pizza is addictive to those living alone: somebody else makes it, it comes packaged in its own dishes and absolutely no silverware is needed to eat the thing. A closed ecosystem of dinner. It’s perfect. Subsequently, a lot of single people I know dine heavily on pizza. Also, there’s real pizza, the kind that comes from pizzerias, made by second- or third-generation Italian immigrants who mold the crust themselves, place the dough on a hot brick inside an oven and let it bake on its own. The experienced pizza artists cut the pie using a rolling wheel with sharp edges. They’re the men who came to this country with a craft, relying on that trade to start a small business in a community shopping center. Then, there’s the other kind of pizza, chain-store pizza that store managers can teach a cheerleader to make. I’m somewhat leary about a pizza that is removed from the oven with water-pump pliers. Real pizza also comes in flimsy white boxes, the kind that soaks up all that grease and oil the way hewspapers sponge rain. There are a few flimsy, greasebottomed white boxes scattered fashionably around the place. They’re in between various issues of the big-city newspaper. Hey, what can I say? Things accumulate. Unless you dump newspapers in the trash every day — which, I might add, only makes the plastic bag rip when you pull it out of the can, dumping food parts from a week’s fare that are better left out of sight — the stack of papers at the end of my couch grows. King Kong would never attempt scaling the pile. And dust multiplies faster than lonely rabbits. Dust mystifies me. The dictionary defines dust as “fine, pulverized particles of matter and, especially, earth.” The definition continues that dust is “something worthless” (we all knew that) and a “state of humiliation.” Now, when I go for a dictionary, I’m looking for facts, undisputable facts from a well-respected source. I do not, however, allow such a source to make value judgments on my lifestyle. Dust isn’t humiliating, but it is awfully bothersome. When you start kicking the dust balls over the couch for extra points, it’s time to find the vacuum, which has been missing a few weeks longer than the maid. The vacuum, wherever it is, will suck up the dust with no problem. But Nana’s old vacuum is helpless to combat the growing number of cob webs and pizza boxes. And I would really like to find out who owns that old sweatshirt. Even the laws of the laundromat forbid me from washing the thing in their commercial machine. It could make a good dust cloth, if such a thing was needed. But what I really need is something to wipe away the cob webs and pizza boxes and newspapers. In lieu of that, I’d take back the maid, wherever she is. Maybe I should look for biker groups.

Police back Demos RICHMOND — The Fraternal Order of Police, representing 6,500 Virginia law enforcement officers, has entered the statewide political arena for the first time to give its endorsement to this year’s Democratic ticket. The endorsements, announced last week, went to former Attorney General Gerald L. Haliles for governor, state Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond for lieutenant governor and Del. Mary Sue Terry of Patric k for attorney general. “We need the experience and dedication that these candidates bring with them,” George N. Austin Jr. of Poquoson, F.O.P. president, told a news conference. He said both Democratic and Republican candidates were interviewed before the endorsement decision was made. “Our process was thorough. Our research was in depth. Gerald Rabies, Doug Wilder and Mary Sue Terry were determined to have the best qualifications and the ability to be most representative to the needs of the F.O.P.,” Mr. Austin said. He said neither race, sex nor political party were considered in making the endorsements. Mr. Baliles and Ms. Terry attended the news conference. Mr. Wilder was campaigning in northern Virginia. “I’ve fought for tougher criminal laws. I've labored to bring to law enforcement officers the respect they deserve,” Mr. Baliles said. His brother is a deputy sheriff in Patrick County and he has a cousin who is a state trooper stationed in Martinsville. Mr. Baliles said his anti-crime record is a strong one whereas that of his Republican opponent, Wyatt B. Durrette, “is filled with inconsistencies. “1 believe the people of Virginia have tired of my opponent’s attempt to substitute rhetoric for record,” he said. Don Harrison, Mr. Durrette’s press secretary, said Mr. Baliles was “continuing his flagrant distortion of Wyatt’s record, a tactic he consistently uses.” Ms. Terry, a former Patrick County prosecutor, said law enforcement would be her top priority if elected attorney general. “The fight against crime must be led by those with the most experience,” she said.

By the same token, few of us can work around the clock at our best without pausing for rest and refreshment As weeks turn into months, irritations and problems have a way of multiplying. We need a place where we can turn to renew our strength. Just as there are band-stands, where musicians join together to perform music, the churches throughout our land serve as a central location where all may join together in the sharing of their faith. The ■ Christian hope is the theme song, and our everyday lives are the unique instruments. For a refreshing spiritual uplift, why not attend services this week?

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard The Castleton area news Frank and Doris Donald have returned from an exciting trip to the annual Natural Chimneys Jousting Tournament in Mount Solon near Bridgewater. Doris says that the jousting contest was an 80-yard run that took eight seconds, and the jousters speared rings with their lances. The joust has become a very popular social event in Mount Solon as it was in the 1200s in England when the knights met at round tables. The Ruritan Club featured barbecued chicken, which Doris said was very slowly cooked and the best she and Frank ever ate. A drizzle fell all day, but had no effect on the crowd or the popular jousters. That evening the Donalds camped in Douthat State Park, Clifton Forge, in the George Washington National Forest, and left in the morning for the West Virginia State Fair in Lewisburg. They had a splendid time there watching one of their favorite sports, harness racing.

_ Fun and fellowship continue at annual tournament By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer It was a cool, overcast day. There would be no chance for excuses about the heat, or my personal favorite, “The sun was in my eyes.” I was nervous as I entered the court for my first game in the preliminaries of the 25th Annual Rappahannock Labor Day Mixed Doubles Handicapped Whistle Cup Tournament. My partner, Bobby Settle, had picked me, by the luck of the draw, to be his handicap. The preliminary games were held Sunday on the private courts of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kilpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Ike Parrish, Judge and Mrs. Rayner Snead, Mr. and Mrs. Fanning Baumgardner and Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser. As I prepared myself mentally for the humiliation I knew I would soon suffer on the Baumgardner court, I noticed that all of the newcomers to the tournament had slightly strained expressions. The tournament “pros,” however, were at ease as they began the tournament’s 20th year, the 20th year of the 25th annual tournament with a name longer than the weekend itself. I soon discovered their secret as I continued to play. It was a dream day for tennis lovers, those players who are not necessarily knocking at the gate of the pro circuit. There was good competition, but that did not override the sense that the tournament was intended to be fun. “Good shot,” or “good try” were heard more often than John McEnroe-type <’ 'mplaints during the day. Even when I and the speaker knew that my last shot had been pure luck, I enjoyed hearing “good shot.” And after I had lunged desperately for a passing shot, “good try” sounding from across the net somehow made the fact that I had missed all right. Between our matches of four games with each couple, we talked, Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner JAMES KILPATRICK presents a gift to the runner-up team of Theresa McLawhom and Louis Moore after their fine championship match with Alera Buckland and Hugh Exton. LFCC registration concludes Monday Senior citizens eligible for free tuition can register Friday from noon to 3 p.m. Registration — and late-regis tration — is conducted on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis.

A computer-based introduction to Writing and Reading Students have fun with pictures and games while they learn letters and sounds with a computer that talks. This innovative program, developed by nationally-known educator John Henry Martin, is called Writing to Read. It utilizes the capabilities of the IBM personal computer, IBM typewriters, recorders, books and games. Writing to Read combines the best technical instrumentation with the most advanced and researched educational techniques to create an effective teaching tool. It encourages imagination, builds self-confidence, and enhances a child's basic desire to learn. The effectiveness of this program has been documented in the findings of Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey, in their evaluation of a National Demonstration Project that involved more than 20,000 children. Enrollment of children 4 to 7 is now open for the fall session.

By the time we finished, my first thought was of the good time I had had. The number of games won or lost was secondary. It had to be that way. The finals were held the next day at the Recreational Park. My role was that of a spectator rather than a true participant. Most of the preliminary participants, the court owners, family and friends gathered to watch and cheer their couples. Each of the five pairs were to play eight games in the round-robin finals. Two teams, though, had tied at 20 games by the next to the last round. Alera Buckland and Hugh “Ex” Exton, Parrish court cham pions, and Theresa McLawhom and Louis Moore, Baumgardner court champions, prepared for the final eight games. I prepared to cheer. McLawhom and Moore opened with a win, but lost the next five. There were some great shots all around that were recognized by the appreciative crowd. With those 25 wins, the Buckland/ Exton team became the 20th champions of the 25th annual tournament. After the tournament, everyone shared in the traditional picnic. The first ones to finish eating were back on the courts — for the fun of it. And to prepare for the 21st year of the 25th annual whatchamacallit. :l FINE AUDIO Grand Opening SALE (Now In Progress) Quality Components at Sale Prices!

However, parents’ unabated enthusiasm did not extend to the school’s ability to teach students to appreciate beauty and the arts. About 85 percent of the parents felt the school was doing a good job in that area. And one-fourth of the responding parents said they thought the school was not doing a good job of encouraging creativity and helping students develop “special talents.” That assessment would appear to be closely related to parents’ response concerning gifted and talented programs. Nearly 30 percent said the school did not “provide appropriate instruction” for that group of students. Additionally, 33 of the 104 parents who answered the survey either said they did not know about the G/T program or declined comment. However, deeper into the survey, roughly 83 percent of parents said students were “encouraged to express their ideas” and to “pursue areas of special interest.” Still, an overwhelming percentage of parents said they believed the elementary school was providing a good education.

According to a Virginia Department of Education survey, while the 27 teachers queried were generally very supportive of the quality of education and level of classroom management available at Rappahannock County Elementary School, they strongly criticized a lack of participation in planning7 the curriculum and making evaluations on that curriculum, as well as a “lack of support” from their superiors. Exactly one-half of the respondents said there is a lack of “professional supervisory support” available, while 41 percent said communication lines to the administration are closed to teachers. Another 36 percent said communication lines to the school board are closed to them. More than one-half of the respondents said they have not participated in a program to plan curriculum or have not participated in an “evaluation of the instructional program.” Relatedly, slightly more than 80 percent of teachers said they have not received a copy of the latest standards of quality enacted by the General Assembly, a guideline to the objectives in education. Further, more than 90 percent said they had not been given responsibility for delivering instructional criteria toward the standards of accrediting schools in Virginia. Also, teachers generally agree that more in-service, or classroom, training within their own school building is needed. Nearly one-third of the teachers also said that students do not have a sufficient number of textbooks and do not have adequate access to instructional materials. Nonetheless, teachers — in some cases 100 percent of those responding — rated their efforts in the classroom as professional and sympathetic to the needs of the students. Environmental group to meet The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) has set a meeting date tomorrow in the county library to discuss “All About Bees” and elect new officers. The 7:30 p.m. meeting will include a presentation on the invaluable contribution made by honeybees to our agriculture and crops. Honey production, enemies of bees, including pesticides and bears, and the invading African “Killer Bees” will be topics of discussion. The panel will consist of Maurice Herndon, John Marocchi and Jens Tholand, Sperryville-area beekeepers who are also members of the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association. The meeting is open to the public. Teachers at the elementary school said they accomplished educational goals and classroom management and provided their students with a most favorable learning climate. However, almost 85 percent of teachers said the instruction for gifted and talented students was insufficient or “inappropriate.” —PAUL McFARLANE Next: Public opinion of the education offered at Rappahannock County High School.

Wakefield overseas By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Virtually everyone who participated in the five-week Wakefield-inEngland summer program agrees that it was an extraordinary educational experience, far exceeding expectations and worth repeating in the years ahead. Thp adventure began at Dulles Airport on July 6, when 24 students accompanied by three teachers boarded the evening Pan Am flight to London. Arriving the next morning at Heathrow, the group was met by a specially chartered bus from Devon. Although the morning was bright and sunny, a cool breeze provided welcome relief from the oppressive heat left behind in Virginia. It had been decided in advance that there would be some low-key sightseeing on the journey down to Devon, with stops in Salisbury and Stonehenge. Arriving in Salisbury at lunch time, the students eiyoyed wandering around the busy market square shopping and sampling their first English food. The visit to Salisbury Cathedral was the first experience many of the group had of Gothic architecture. The lofty spire of the cathedral and the peaceful cloisters did not fail to impress. At nearby Stonehenge, tanners were unrolling barbed wire to protect their fields against a roving “army of hippies” who had threatened to camp around the prehistoric site. Some students complained that the stones looked smaller than they appeared in books, but all were fascinated by the mysterious megaliths that had been the subject of one of Mrs. Lynn’s thorough lectures. The long journey to Devon that took up the rest of the afternoon provided an opportunity for most to catch up on their sleep. Everyone was awake, however, by the time the coach reached the lush patchwork quilt countryside of the West Country. The late afternoon sun still shone brightly as the bus wound through tree tunnels and hedge rows, past church towers and quaint villages. Some of the children in the bus could be heard repeating with fascination the names of ancient pubs and inns. . .“The Jolly Waggoners,” “The Lamb and Flag,” “The King’s Head,” “The Dog and Pheasant,”... After passing the towers of Exeter Cathedral, everyone knew that Newton Abbot was near. Before long, the bus pulled into the outskirts of Newton Abbot and then turned and headed out of town again on a different road. After ascending a steep hill and winding through the narrow streets of the village of High Week, the bus came to a stop before what appeared to be a large estate just on the edge of the village. The group had arrived at its English home, Darracombe Hall. The uniformed staff was on hand to greet the arriving Americans, and Mrs. Nunne, the housekeeper, boarded the bus to proffer an official welcome. The warmth and friendliness of the greeting delighted everyone. Daracombe Hall is the SealeHayne College’s dormitory complex for its female students during regular term. Entirely self-contained, it is located a mile and a half by country lane from the college itself. Surrounded by a high stone wall, Daracombe includes the large, ivycovered manor house, two dormitories, gardener’s cottage, a tennis court and bam yard. Set in the midst of magnificent rose gardens and ancient trees, Daracombe is a veritable park — manicured and groomed to perfection. The Lynns, along with the older students, were lodged on the second floor of the manor house, which contains two very adequate classrooms, an oak-panelled dining hall, a large, comfortable common room (with color TV), laundry room and kitchen. The younger boys and Mrs. Lowry were housed in the nearby dormitory called the Annex. (The other dormitory was not in use.) Every morning, the staff came in to clean and to prepare and serve meals. The meals were prepared under the supervision of the college’s head chef, John Harper, who spared no expense or labor to please his American guests. In the morning, everyone had the choice of a full English cooked breakfast or of something less copious; lunch generally included several courses and dinner was even more elaborate. (Among the chefs specialties were beef Wellington and baked Alaska.) Coffee and tea were served in the common room after lunch and dinner and at 4 o’clock tea each day. Everyone quickly settled into the routine: Breakfast at 8:30, followed by three hours of classes before lunch. The afternoons were free excursion days and dinner was served at 7 p.m. In the evenings, there was an occasional lecture or organized activity, and modest amounts of homework were assigned, but for the most part, students were free. The friendly village pub at High Week quickly became a favorite evening spot for the older students. The younger students seemed Rappahannock News Photo Courtesy Wakefield School WAKEFIELD STUDENTS take a brief respite from their tour of England recently. That’s the good news. Bad news, is that school opens Monday. The students were in England this summer. Fromt left to right is Allen Grimm, Lisa Irani, Chris Holland, Shawn Hunter and Kathy Bentley. content with the novelty of dorm life and British TV. The college very generously provided a VHS, enabling the students to watch such literary films as “Tess” (based on Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D'Urbennlles). From the beginning the classes went well, for jiving in England apparently provided the necessary motivation for students to learn about British literature, history and geography. An item of intense study in literature class was Shakespeare’s T roil us and Cressida, the play that the group later saw at the Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. Located midway between Dartmoor and the English Channel, Newton Abbot is ideally situated for interesting half-day trips and excursions, One of the most memorable trips was the four-hour hike on the Moor led by a sprightly old gentleman who was an expert on the geography and history of England’s largest national park. Other excursions included a Saturday trip to the cathedral city of Exeter; a visit to Buckfast Abbey, a re-constructed medieval monastery, and trips to the seashore at nearby Torquay. One of the favorite outings was an excursion by boat down the Dart River to Dartmouth with return by steam railway along the Channel cliffs. The two-day excursion to Stratford afforded the group an opportunity to visit Oxford, Banbury, Coventry and Warwick Castle. A side trip to Berkeley Castle, where Edward II came to an inglorious end, was popular with all students who knew their English history. For one of the excursions — to the Arthurian country of Glastonbury, Wells and South Cadbury (the probable site of Camelot) — the Lynns hired two mini-buses and did the driving themselves. On this trip, the students also visited Thomas Hardy’s Casterbridge (Dorchester) where they were lucky enough to stumble onto the ruins of a Roman townhouse. As the stay at Daracombe drew to a close, the college entertained with a lavish afternoon Devon “cream tea” and an evening English cheese and cider party (eight different local cheeses washed down by “Strongbow”). The summer program in England concluded with a three-day stay in London, where the students saw all the sights, including the infamous London Dungeon, shopped at Harrods and mastered the complexities of the London “tube.” Minor nuisances of the trip included a sprained ankle on the Moor, a lost passport and the vagaries of “ English weather. The program on the whole, however, was an enormous success, and most students indicated a desire to return next year. Also next year, the trip will be opened to students in the public school system as well. Accommodations have been booked again for next year for what promises to be an even richer and more experienced “Wakefield-in-England.” All kids have problems, but problem kids need help.

With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It must be since she lingers there. And you, - 0 you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Think of her as faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Mild and gentle as she was brave, When the sweetest love of her life she gave To simple things: where violets grew Pure as the eyes they were liken to, The touches of her hands have strayed As reverently as here lips have prayed. Think of her still as the same, I say; She is not dead--she is just away!

Extension Ar . Good planning Is vev' mportant to good gardening. Now is the time to start planning for the spring flower garden. Midsummer is a good time to sow the seeds of many perennial plants. A few short rows in a cold frame or at the edge of the vegetable garden will provide the start for spring’s bouquets. A site which receives some shade from the hot afternoon sun is preferred. Some popular and easy-to-grow perennials are hardy carnations, sweet William, perennial baby’s breath, columbine, Shasta daisies and rudbeckia or coneflowers. Sow the seeds thinly in shallow furrows and cover them lightly with sand, vermiculite, or shredded sphagum moss. The seeds of most perennials will germinate in one to two weeks and emerge easily through the sand or moss. Water seeds carefully with a fine sprinkling nozzle. Repeat as needed to ensure rapid germination and growth. When seedlings have developed their second set of leaves, thin them to six inches apart. You may set the extra plants at six-inch spacings in another location. Side dress with 5-10-5 or 10-10-10 fertilizer and keep the soil moist dur ing the late summer to promote the growth of sturdy plants. Perennial plants will be ready for moving to flower beds and borders this fall at about the time of the first frost. Transplant them with a good ball of soil around the roots. After transplanting, apply a oneinch layer of mulch — sawdust, peat moss or similar material — to conserve soil moisture and help control weeds. The young plants should be protected during the winter with several inches of coarse mulch such as stiff straw, corn stalks or evergreen branches. Come spring, the borders and the flower garden should bloom. The homemaker’s corner Do you take any supplements “just to be sure?” ‘To give you energy?” If you are one of the millions who do, please read on. The slogan, “more of a good thing is better,” is not necessarily true for vitamin and mineral supplements, especially for the fat-soluble vitamins. These are stored in the body and are harmful when consumed in large quantities. Various food faddists have claimed that megadoses (more than 10 times the recommended amount) of water soluable vitamins are not harmful because the excess is released through the urine. THIS IS FALSE! La)*ge doses of these vitamins can be toxic to your system. You can become dependent on these and actually go though withdrawal symptoms when you discontinue use. Too much of one vitamin will interfere with the body’s absorption of another. The following is a list of symptoms of vitamin toxicity: Vitamin C — diarrhea, rebound scurvy high blood uric acid, false positive urine test for diabetes. Thiamin — headaches, irritabil ity, insomnia, weakness. Vitamin B6 — dependency symptoms, toxic effect on nervous system, numb feet, usteady gait. Vitamin A — blurred vision, fatigue, headaches, hair loss, dermal changes, liver damage. Vitamin D — growth retardation, nausea, kidney damage, calcium deposits. Calcium — high blood calcium, kidney damage. Iron — iron deposits in tissues that may lead to tissue damage, pigmentation of the skin. Zinc — Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea. If you would like help in deciding if you should be taking vitamin or mineral supplements, please call the extension office and the extension home economist will be glad to work with you. Gardening tips • Harvest everbearing raspberries as quickly as they ripen. Frequent harvesting helps to reduce insect and disease problems. Prune out the portions of canes that have borne fruit immediately after harvest. • Establish new perennial flower beds. Dig, divide and replant overcrowded beds of bearded iris, cannas, daylilies, violets and shasta daisies. Spread a liberal amount of organic matter and bulb fertilizer evenly over the area. Mix this into soil at least six to eight inches deep. Space divisions at least one foot apart in all directions so that root competition will not be a problem for several years. • The disease, powdery mildew, becomes more abundant following periods of cool nights and warm, dry days. Infected plants such as crepe myrtle, lilac, zinnias and azalea are covered with white, powdery growth. Benomyl is a fungicide that can be used for control on many plants.

Evans-Smith found guilty A Loudoun County Circuit Court jury convicted William Evans-Smith of second degree murder Friday afternoon after 4*6 days of deliberation. He was accused of murdering his wife Barbara on the morning of April 15. The victim was found in her upstairs bedroom, dead from strangulation, with a pair of panty hose around her neck. Evans-Smith was arrested a week later after Loudoun Sheriffs Department investigators presented their evidence to a special Grand Jury. The Circuit Court jury also recommended that the retired Army colonel and official at The American University receive the minimum penalty of five years in prison. Judge Carlton Penn told jurors they could convict Evans-Smith of either first or second degree murder—a first degree murder conviction carries a prison sentence of 20 years to life, while a second degree murder conviction carries a penalty of from five to 20 years. Attorneys for Evans-Smith say they will appeal. In the meantime, he is free on $100,000 bond. Farm donated to park Mrs. James H. Symington will on Sept. 27 make a gift of her 286-acre Temple Hall Farm to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, fulfilling a dream she has had for 15 years, she said in a recent interview. Temple Hall is approximately five miles north of Leesburg and a mile west of the Potomac River. Although the property will be deeded to NVRPA, it will remain Mrs. Symington’s home. It will not immediately be open to the public, and NVRPA has not decided exactly what plans it has for the farm. “It’s one of the greatest gifts we’ve ever received,” said Darrell Winslow, executive director of the NVRPA. Sept. 27 is the date Mrs. Symington chose to complete the agreement because it will be the 45th anniversai j of the day she and her late husband purchased the property. She said she decided in the 1970s that she wanted to guarantee that the farm would not be lost to westwardly encroaching development. Vo-ed reorganized Vocational programs in Fauquier County public schools are being reorganized. Believing vocational education has been ‘isolated too long,” new Vocational Education Director Howard “Ben" Kiser plans to change the image of the programs. The Fauquier Technical Center and Fauquier High School, previously operated as two separate entities, this year are under the direction of FHS Principal David Graham. Four assistant principals will deal with vocational education and academic teachers. At least one-fourth of FHS’s 1,800 student body is enrolled in vocational education courses this year, Mr. Graham said. Planners OK center The Fauquier Planning Commission last Thursday gave the go ahead for a proposed $3 million shopping center at Routes 17 and 28 in the southern part of the county. The planners forwarded the recommendation on a rezoning request for the 10-acre site near Bealeton to the Board of Superviosrs, which will hold a public hearing on proposal at its Sept. 17 meeting. Landowner and principal developer Leslie Jean Hingardner said he is planning 20 stores for the 100,000square-foot center. Co-developer and County Supervisor James A. Rankin (Center District) says he will open a supermarket at the proposed center. Warehouse opening set Pimpernel Place Mats and Coasters, an international company that sells its table products all over the world, in November will open its first permanent United States warehouse in Warrenton. Actually, Pimpernel has been in Fauquier County for 10 years, shipping place mats to 32 states and several thousand specialty shops from its small Warrenton warehouse.

Uncertain future awaits RCHS girls By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Joel Voorhees is perched in the bandbox bombshelter that is the Rappahannock County High School gymnasium, waiting to spring surprises on basketball competitors in the Bull Run District. As rookie coach of the Rappahannock County varsity girls’ basketball team, Voorhees is an unknown quantity in the eight-team district. For that matter, the rest of the district is virtually unknown by Voorhees. In this, his first year in the county public school system, all Voorhees knows about the competition in the Bull Run is what he saw in a game last week between county high school teams from Clarke and Warren. And Warren County does not participate in the Bull Run. “I’m hoping, being from out of state, that maybe I’ll use plays that nobody’s used before,” Voorhees said before practice last week. “Maybe I can beat somebody that way.” Simply, he says: “I don’t know how good the other teams are. ” Subsequently, he is not setting his sights on winning the district championship — although he says that would be accepted — but, rather, he is hoping for more subtle success from his 1985 squad. He is hoping to win the home opener Tuesday against Warren County — “that would be a good foot to step on,” he says — and he wants his players to “learn one new thing this year.” Beyond that, Voorhees will take whatever the season has to offer. Still, Voorhees is not without some resources even if he did lose three senior starters from last year’s club. There is Karen Jordan, an all-district player of a year ago and Natalie Butler, the team’s tallest player at 59. “I’m expecting quite a lot from Karen,” said Voorhees. Given her previous seasons, Jordan has the ability to deliver. She can do “about everything” on the basketball floor, said her coach. “She’s a leader all the way.” A senior, Jordan is getting some looks from major colleges and wants to attend the University of Virginia. “She knows basketball,” Voorhees said of Jordan. “She’s like a teacher. She takes charge but not in a bossy manner. “She’s just a very good ballplayer all around,” said the coach. During the summer, Jordan played with an AAU team and was exposed to high quality basketball, as well as to some of the better players in the district, including Clarke County’s Carla Holmes, the district’s co-player of the year. “She’s not intimidated by her now,” Voorhees said. Jordan will be asked to again be one of the district’s top players. In assessing the district, Clarke County coach Dave Bartlett said: “Rappahannock still has Karen Jordan.” Butler, also a senior, will also act as a team leader. Voorhees calls the two “my co-captains.” “They’re leaders,” he says. “They know what’s expected of them.” Of Butler, Voorhees expects solid rebounding and tenacious defense. “She’s an excellent rebounder,” Voorhees said. Butler is one of a number of inside players who are practicing with ankle weights to try to improve their jumping ability. Natalie’s cousin, Tammy Butler, will start at one guard position. “She’s one of our better ball handlers,” Voorhees said, who adds that Butler, a junior, “is a hustler. She plays good defense.” Penny Atkins discovered that a little one-on-one coaching may cause her to score more points. One day after practice, Atkins stayed on the floor and shot. Her style may not win her any points, but her rate of success should certainly add some to the Rappahannock side of the scoreboard. “She shoots kind of like a frog,” said the coach. “But I’m not going to change it,” a sure sign that the end justifies the means. Atkins may kick her feet out to the side when she shoots, but the junior guard will be asked to do a lot of that this fall. Wendy Stringfellow, known as “Bean” to her friends, looks to be the fifth starter. After attending basketball camp at Virginia Tech during the summer, Stringfellow could lead the rebounding charts often. “She’s an excellent rebounder,” said Voorhees. “That and her defense are her two strong suits.” Kristi Pendleton, who also spent part of her summer on the Blacksburg basketball courts, will get better as the season progresses. “She gets better every day,” said the coach, and with the fact that she “shoots well,” Pendleton could become a vital weapon in a district that employs a lot of zone defenses. A junior, Pendleton is coachable, according to the man who should know. “She’ll do anything you ask her to,” said Voorhees. Tracy Sutphine, a 5-8 junior, will make a contribution rebounding — “she knows how to box out,” said Voorhees — and shooting, when she’s hot. “She’s a streak shooter,” the coach said. Gina Manwaring, a junior, will make a contribution, but not until a back injury he; is and allows her to play. She was not practicing last week. But, Voorhees said, Manwanng improves “every day.” Two players, Melissa Moore and Annette Fletcher, came out for basketball for the first time late last week. Both are seniors. In addition to coaching here for the first time and going into district play with blinders shielding his eyes Voorhees is also coaching plays and techniques that are new to the players. “I’m not going with anything that’s ever been done before” at Rappahannock, he said. But the girls seem to be responding. They take home diagrams of plays and memorize them for use in the next day’s practice. “And I like that,” said the coach. He knows his team will rebound well and the team’s “passing has improved from the first practice,” but “ball handling is probably our poorest” facet of the game. Being short of depth, Voorhees said the team has been working hard in the preseason, dropping plenty of sweat on the gym floor during the hot, August afternoons. The players will,, log large amounts of playing time this year. “That’s why I’m pushing them now,” Voorhees said. Voorhees is also introducing man-to-man defense. “That’s hard work,” he says. “Nobody wants to play defense, it seems. Everybody wants to shoot the ball.” But in a league like the Bull Run District — where both players-ofthe-year return in 1985 — stopping the opponent will be a necessary ingredient for winning. Last year, Clarke County defeated Strasburg in the tournament finals. And while Strasburg lost four starters from its team last year, it returns Tammy Pence, co-MVP, and promotes to the varsity members from its unbeaten jay vee team. Clarke County, on the other hand, returns four key players and is talking about reaching the state tournament. So the future is very much uncertain for Voorhees and his team. But the coach indicated his team is improving daily and said: “All in all, I like this bunch.” JAYVEE BASKETBALL PLAYERS this fall includes Mae Renzie, Terry Russell, Susie Dearing, Benitz Wearing (back row) Tammy Dwyer, Vickie Compton, Angie Armentrout, Dana Cloud. Missing from the photo were Leslie Aylor and coach Carol Nowakoski.

ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. I LOVE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS V I don’t even know you, so how much more y J do you think Jesus loves you? He has given L all of us salvation. All we have to do is ref cetve it. Are you a positive thinker or a negji ative thinker? The word SALVATION and j, SAVE go together. The word SAVE in they original Greek Scripture comes from the word # SOZO, and the word SALVATION comes W from the word SOTERIA. These words in the £ Greek mean; material and temporal deliv-S erance from danger and suffering; to preserve y from sickness; made whole; to guard; keep; & denotes health. All this and more about salva- Y tion can be found in Vines Expository Diction- JJ ary of Old and New Testament Words. Now IJ can go on with what I want to say. This will y take several weeks, so keep this article for Sr reference and read them all together. V It is the will of God that we, His children! stay healthy. But. if you don't believe this in ^ your heart you won't have it. Mark 11; 23 & 24 y ten us just that. In 3rd John verse 2 it says. 5* 15 9 * 9 ft "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou L V mayest prosper (that means material things) £ 0* and be in health, even as your soul prospe- 0 ? reth. This covers all areas of your life. You V see, SALVATION is the best gift God could #* I? give. If you believe in His Son; that He died ^ and was risen for your salvation, than you — have heaven when you die, and if you can believe it like the scripture really teaches, you _ can have health, happiness and prosperity. £ 3rd John, 4 says I have no greater joy than to t hear that my children walk in truth.' Hosea £ 4:6 says "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected S' knowledge." Fall is coming. That means £ colds, flu and worse for a lot of people. But, if t we would learn to trust in and rely on the word y of God, we can live above all that. ALL sickness comes from Satan. Next week we will start our confessions for health.

Rt. 1, Box 266, Sperryville, Va. 22740 w Phone 987-8505 * ENTIRELY BY GRACE by Tom Marshall of the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship Faith is a marvelous attribute to have, for it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). Like other attributes of the Christian, however, it is often faked purposely and often misused unintentionally. Two weeks ago, we talked about Satan counterfeiting the things of God. Faith is one of the things he counterfeits, usually by substituting something for the proper object of faith. The “object of faith” is the thing a person believes in. Faith must have an object, or it is not faith at all. If a person says “I have faith,” but cannot tell what he has faith in, he is not telling the truth. He may have some good feeling, but he doesn’t have faith. People become Christians (are saved) at the moment they first have faith in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible. It is not possible to be saved by a faith that has substituted any other object of faith. It is not enough just to believe that Jesus was a historical person, or even that God sent him, or even that he was a prophet. It is necessary to believe him to be God the Son. (This is another way of saying “the Son of God” but it emphasizes the fact that he is God, and not some lesser being.) He himself emphasized this fact in John 8:24,28,58 where he took the name “I am” that God had revealed to Moses. In verse 24 he states, “If ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.” Therefore, if your faith is in some Jesus who is not God, you are still in your sins. I plead with you to trust the real Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, God the Son, to be your saviour. Sometimes a person will substitute faith in something he himself has done in place of faith in Jesus. Whenever I ask a person if he is saved and he starts to tell me about “walking the aisle” or “praying the sinners’ prayer” it makes me wonder what his faith is really in. Is it in Jesus, or is it ip walking the aisle? These things that people do in public meetings do not help in salvation, but often just get in the way. The greatest tragedy of them is that people sometimes go through these rituals and think they are saved, but are not because their faith is in the ritual rather than in Jesus. In order to be saved you must in the innermost recesses of your heart and mind trust God the Son as your saviour. Please feel free to contact us.
