Fill up those pickle jars!” are words used frequently by Maggie Rogers. She is chairman of the Rappahannock County Elementary School SPTA playground committee consisting of Kenny Rogers, Terry Waggener, April Heddleston, and Sam Cliffton. “We’re planning a whole new playground to enrich the existing fitness program and to provide an improved and enlarged play-exercise structure for grades kindergarten through seven,” stated Mrs. Rogers. Ms. Carol Nowakoski, the elementary school’s physical education teacher, believes that “there is definitely a need for additional equipment because the equipment that’s there now is so traditional. We need equipment to stress upper body strength, imagination and creativity. Having additional equipment will make the kids more excited about developing themselves and make them more interested in their bodies.” “Our major objectives are to repair and rebuild old structures, build a new major play structure, and erect a fitness course for the upper grades,” explained Mrs. Rogers. “The jungle gym will be sandblasted and repainted and new seats will be bought for the swings. We will be dismantling some old structures so we can use the parts in new structures.” During the planning stages the playground committee observed various playgrounds and did research on playground safety. “We visited Central Elementary School in Warrenton and took a close look at their playground by “Leathers,” an architect who uses “bamraising ideas” for construction of playgrounds. The playground at Central cost thirty thousand dollars to build after two years of planning. “We also looked at playgrounds in Criglersville and Mosby Woods Elementary in Fairfax. We went to George Mason University to look at their fitness course. Sam Cliffton researched playground design and safety at the University of Virginia library. “The drawings for the proposed equipment were compiled from this research, Ms. Nowakoski’s advice, the committee’s ideas and equipment catalogs,” said Mrs. Rogers. “A large play structure will be built for grades K-3. The structure will be mostly wooden with slides, ramps, bridges, decks, stairs, poles for sliding, towers with ladders, and a rope walk. A tire climb, tube crawl, six tire tri-swing, stump jumper, a hopscotch pattern, and spruced-up existing equipment will be included in the K-3 area, also.” Ms. Nowakosld observed that “a lot of the kids in kindergarten through third grade really lack in upper body strength, so they need things to climb on. A time for great growth is between the ages of five to eight years. Developing and maintaining muscle strength and developing endurance is important. It’s a time to find out what their bodies can do.” Mrs. Rogers described the Fitness Course for the upper grades. “Included in the course are a climbing wall, parallel bars, log wall, balance beam, standing long jump, measured vertical jump, vaulting bar, sit up bench, push up log, log jump, climbing poles with a bell at the top, and step ups. Signs will be included to guide students from one station to the next. The completion of the course may be timed if the student would like.” Ms. Nowakoski would “like to see each child in fourth through seventh grades run the Fitness Course at least once daily. I think it will be a real boost for upper grades to know something was built for them, too.” “Playgrounds like this usually cost ten to thirty thousand dollars or more including labor costs,” explained Mrs. Rogers. “We’re getting away with a minimum of three thousand dollars using students’ and their families’ muscle, surplus, and discounts from local merchants. The SPTA has set aside one thousand 'dollars so we have to raise at least two thousand dollars with our fund raisers. We can do this only if the community helps, both in dollars and 4 Continued on page 16 ) » ' Supervisors will cut budget if School Board fails to act By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution that states it “shall and will make categorical cuts to the school budget, if the School Board, having previous and generous notice of this intent, fails to do so.” Rappahannock County School Superintendent Robert Estabrook read the resolution at the beginning of the School Boards’s monthly meeting on Tuesday night.. That meeting was primarily devoted to public response of the Superintendent’s proposed budget which was released last week. The resolution begins by stating that “in light of the very serious action taking place all over this country, in, the form of Gramm-Rudman and others, creatjed to curb spending, reduce deficits, and limit/taxation, it is becoming painfully clear that Rappahannock County taxpayers are going to bec^rhe financially responsible at the local level...” i Tax liabilities of the school system was the primary focus of the resolution which indicates that such liabilities will exceed $110,000 next year. The resolution further states that “there will be revenue losses at the schools for the steady and continual decline in enrollments, which could even cost us on the order of $40,000 in revenues in this current year.” The resolution states that teachers have asked for salaries that will cost the county $213,000 in new taxes for next year. “The high school improvement plan, once underway, will require on the order of $75,000 for interest, and $75,000 for principal, totaling $150,000 per year in new local taxes,” the resolution states. It further continues that the county has a number of other financial burdens including a landfill, courthouse renovations, reassessments, and “skyrocketing” insurance premiums. “Rappahannock County will have to reimburse to its surplus, the $26,000 acquisition cost of the ‘Teacjier training ground’ protested By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Most of the 18 people who attended the Rappahannock County School Board meeting on Tuesday night, which included time for public response to the superintendent’s proposed budget, spoke in favor of raising beginning teachers salaries. Everyone who spoke sought increases. Robert Estabrook, Rappahannock County School Superintendent, began the meeting by reading a resolution passed by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors which declares that the school budget must be trimmed by the school board in light of Gramm-Rudman legislation and cdunty budget considerations. Mr. Estabrook indicated that the letter may be of use to those at the meeting for the formulation N of their comments. . Joyce Abell, saying that she believed she was “preaching to the converted,” urged the school board to increase teacher salaries to avoid the turnover problem existing in the Rappahannock schools. She said that the turnover here is five times greater than in Montgomery County, Maryland, where she previously taught. She said that teachers there earned on the average of $10,000 more than Rappahannock’s teachers. Mrs. Abell stated that while rents are cheaper in Rappahannock, other items cost more including utilities, food and transportation. “I don’t see how teachers can live on this salary,” she said, “teachers are being put upon which makes them angry and that impacts their Reaching.” Mathematics teacher Helen LaCava complained that the county’s ranking, in terms of its pay to teachers, has dropped significantly since 1980. She stated that there was only one other county in the state with a worse record. Ms. LaCava compared the turnover to a hospital patient; “new blood is essential but if it has to be a constant flow, the system is in trouble.” She said that the schools here have an “unstable environment.” Richard Abell stated that he has devoted his adult life to teaching. ‘This county should cease to be a training ground for new teachers,” he said. He complained that teachers are trained here and then leave to take jobs in counties that pay “much higher salaries.” Continued on pajre 18 SANDRA CARTWRIGHT-BROWN is country inn workshop.

Mayor Peter Kramer said that he has served in the capacity for the last two terms and that he plans to pursue other interests. “I have other things that need to be taken care of,” said Mr. Kramer. Without an official candidate a mayor could be elected through a write-in vote. Town treasurer Bradford Robert Fisher is seeking another term. Eight people have announced their candidacy for five council member slots. The new candidates are Reinhardt Lynch, Peter Campion Skowronski, and Nancy S. Thomasson. Current council members who are seeking re-election are Dorothy P. Clater, Wallace Heterick Critzer, J. Newbill Miller, William E. Wickens, and Evelyn Tyler Miller Willis. The Town of Washington election will be held on May 6,1986. New hymnal to be introduced at Trinity Church By WIUL.IAM WEiSLEj I TALBV1T Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Reverend Jennings Hobson III has announced that Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington will formally introduce the new Episcopal hymnal during the March 16 services. The hymnbook, entitled “The 1982 Hymnal”, is the first since the 1940 edition. Music is an integral part of the worship service of the Episcopal Church, Mr. Hobson explained. “Almost every version of Judeo-Christian faith has agreed that music is important to the worship of God,” he states. “The hymnal is important in the Episcopal Church because we do not have a great body of official doctrine,” Mr. Hobson said. The hymnal is particularly important to Episcopalians because “the text of hymns is an important pan oi expressing wnat we Deueve, he says. Mr. Hobson explains that The Book Of Common Prayer, found next to the hymnbooks, was “developed to allow people to worship together.” In recounting the history of music for worship, Mr. Hobson says that “there was a great outburst of hymnal expression in the 18th century. Charles Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church, must have written a hymn a day.” The first, but unofficial, hymnbook of the Episcopal Church was published in 1892. This hymnal was primarily published, without music, as an addition to the The Book of Common Prayer. 1916 was an important year for hymns in the Episcopal Church; it was then that the first officially sanctioned hymnal was published. That hymnal, however, was printed by a number of different publishers who ottered slightly ditferent versions of the same book. Hymns were pulled out or added depending on the particular publisher’s taste. A few years prior to 1940 a committee gathered to publish a new book. “That was such a blue ribbon commission,” says Mr. Hobson, “they overdid it a bit.” He says that the 1940 hymnal, which has been used until this point, had “ornate music much of which was not singable.” That hymnal was not published in different editions, however. The 1982 Hymnal has been designed more for the congregation, explains Mr. Hobson. The panel that chose selections for the latest hymnal sent two questionnaires to Trinity Episcopal Church to determine the hymns that were used. Questions were also asked about the frequency of a hymn’s usage. Like its predecessor, the new hymnal contains 600 sets of words. About 60 percent of the hymns from the 1940 edition have been retained. “We are giving up some,” says Mr. Hobson, “but we are gaining some, too.” Some of the “new hymns” are not new at all, having been a part of earlier editions. “Amazing Grace” and “Morning Has Broken” are examples of old hymns that have been restored. Many of the new inclusions date from the 1930s and 1940s, says Mr. Hobson. There are a few contemporary titles as well, such as “Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God” from 1972. Many are intended for instrumentation that is different from the traditional organ. Some are designed to be accompanied by piano, brass, woodwinds, and guitar. “There are so many other kinds of worship services now,” says Mr. Continued on page 8 Scrabble dumpster site, and in effect purchase it out of our next year’s budget,” continues the resolution. After citing the county’s financial burdens the resolution resolves to: • Institute an ongoing process of financial planning in the form of a six year plan, including a capital outlay plan, projected amortization, and anticipated future expenses and revenues. This will be updated annually during the budgeting process. • Commit itself to a revenue enhancement study to raise additional revenues that will not impact unreasonably upon present revenue sources. • Actively repeal, in Richmond, Rappahannock’s standing in the composite index, and request that Land Use Value Taxation be taken into consideration when the state computes the composite index. • Request the Rappahannock County School Board, in efforts to improve starting teacher salPnnfinnofl nn naora 1A WSA sets rate By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority approved a $12.85 monthly user fee for the new sewer system in Sperryville at its March 6 meeting, but the rate is subject to public review. Persons will have an opportunity to comment at the WSA meeting on June 5. The $12.85 monthly rate was calculated by dividing the yearly operating budget of $40,000 by 260 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs); that total is then divided by 12 to yield a monthly figure. A dwelling unit is defined as “any room, group of rooms, house trailer or other enclosure occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters by a family or other group of persons living together or by a person living alone.” An EDU is based on the average estimated volume of sewerage generated in a dwelling unit. EDUs will be applied to both residential and non-residential users of the system based on the EDU schedule contained in the sewer use ordinance adopted. Based on the recommendation of the system’s engineer, the figure could have been higher, $13.02 per month, and still have been within conventional methods of rate determination. However Authority members believed they could charge the lesser sum by intensifying efforts to collect money from those who may try to avoid making payments. Rate calculation is “a matter of simple division,” stated Authority member Martin Woodard. The Authority voted to approve hiring Hudson Yowell as an independent contractor to serve as the sewer system’s operator. Mr. Yowell’s two day per week assignment will also involve the training of an apprentice for the job. Mr. Yowell currently participates in the operation of two other sewer systems in the state. The system’s engineer, Hank Gerhart, advised members of the board that in his opinion the plant was substantially complete as of February 26. This status means that the board must now begin to pay insurance, electricity, telephone, and costs associated with these items. WSA chairman Bob Dennis asked the Authority to hold an election to find a successor for his position. “I would like to step down from the Authority,” he said. Mr. Dennis said that he would serve his entire term, which expires August 1, but he believes it would be in the best interest of the WSA to find a replacement earlier. “There are people in Sperryville who could really make a contribution to this project,” said Mr. Dennis. He explained that as the operation has moved from the construction into the “operational phase”, it is important to find a successor who has a stronger business background. He also wants to find a new person as soon as possible because of the resignation of RappahannockRapidan Planning Commission executive director Wayne Cilimberg. He believes that a new chairman should begin very soon to work with Bill Strider who will be replacing Mr. Cilimberg on this project. Authority members Del Price, Carson Johnson, and Martin Woodard seemed uncomfortable with this reasoning; they prefer that Mr. Dennis remain as chairman as long as possible because of Mr. Dennis’s knowledge of background issues that they believe would be useful during the operational stage. More discussion of whether to hold an earlier election will be held at a special WSA meeting later this month. That meeting, for which a date was not set, will also involve the determination of an initial operational budget to be presented to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. Cilimberg resigns Wayne Cilimberg has recently announced his resignation as Executive Director of the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission effective March 28, 1986. He will be taking the position of Chief of Community Development with Albemarle County, Virginia. Mr. Cilimberg became the Commission’s Executive Director in December of 1983. He had previously served as Regional and then Senior Planner with the commission since October of 1981. The commission’s chairman, Bob Schwartz, said a search for a new Executive Director would begin immediately.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner General District Court During Rappahannock County General District Court on Tuesday, Robert Dwayne Bowers was found guilty of lending his hunting license to his father Robert Leroy Bowers. Robert Leroy Bowers was found guilty of borrowing a hunting license. Lee Haupt of the Virginia Game Commission testified that the incident began with an illegal hunting violation occurring in Culpeper County. According to Mr. Haupt, the incident “spilled over” into Rappahannock County because a deer was brought in to be weighed at the Blue Ridge Gun Shop in Amissville.

The total number of persons entering the park in February 1985 was 54,713 as compared with 48,960 last month. Because of healthy gains in January the figure for the calendar year through the end of February shows a rise of 11.7 percent compared with 1985. ^ The Big Meadows weather station reported that last month’s maximum temperature was 58 degrees F. and the low figure was -2 degrees F.

Session lacked controversy, final scramble By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapen Staff Writer The General Assembly adjourned its 1986 session at 4:33 p.m. on Saturday, belying its reputation for marathon finales in which the clock stops and weary legislators race the dawn to resolve their differences and go home. It was, however, characteristic of a session that many legislators say was unusually quiet and uncontroversial, with the exception of an embarrassing series of attempts to rewrite the conflict of interest statute that governs legislative conduct. “The words that come to mind are mild, non-cotroversial and smooth,” said Del. Kenneth R. Plum (D-Reston). Virginia’s governors, one departing and the other arriving, all but pre-empted the dominant issues of the session — funding for public education and transportation. And traditionally contentious issues either never arose (the coal Blurry, uranium mining) or died early deaths (the state lottery, the bottle bill, parental consent for minors to have an abortion). Former Gov. Charles S. Robb, who left office in January with a vista of national political opportunities opening before him, bequeathed his successor and the Assembly with an $18.4 billion budget that made funding for public education its cornerstone. “The education thing was almost untouchable,” said Senate Minority Leader William A. Truban (R-Shenandoah), who serves on the “Secret Seven” of the Senate Finance Committee. “It was untouchable.” When the Assembly adopted the budget, with about $51 million more in appropriations, last week, few changes were made in the Robb program for public education. The plan will provide about $367 million more in state money to fund the Standards of Quality and require local governments to raise teachers’ salaries by at least 10 percent in the first year of the biennium or forfeit funds in the second year. The budget provides that amount of money despite its endorsement of a new method of calculating the cost of funding the standards that will enable the state to reduce its share of \ funding eignificantly^in future budt vets. ,:•* “The education^ lobbyists had very littlr SOCcess ITT h'ddfessinrthe funding formula,” said Gordon W. Fletcher Jr., the lobbyist for Loudoun County’s school system, “and that was the main issue.” “It has the capability of significantly reducing the state effort to meet what has been called full funding,” he said. “Probably it was not a very good session from public education’s standpoint,” said Mr. Fletcher, who is especially chagrined at passage of & law that will require all school divisions to begin the school year after Labor Day. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles began his administration with a pair of forceful speeches that made transportation his top priority and charted a startling new course for addressing the issue. He proposed a break from the state’s “pay-as-you-go” tradition of transportation funding and asked the Assembly to establish a special commission, called the Commission on Virginia’s Transportation Needs in the 21st Century, to identify the state’s most pressing transportation needs and recommend new ways to finance them. The legislature will reconvene in September to consider those recommendations. The governor’s principle for financing is to separate funds for road maintenance and construction, funding the former through traditional means like the gasoline tax and the latter through long-term financing mechanisms, including state bond issues. That commission, which has met once, will include a local representative, Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax), who chairs the Senate Transportation Committee, as well as several Northern Virginia businessmen and Mr. Robb, who lives in Mclean. Its chairman is Sen. Edward E. Willey (D-Richmond), who lost his battle during the session to raise an. extra $790 million over the next six years for road construction through a series of tax and fee increases and a slash in state subsidies for producers of gasohol. That seemed like too much to legislators who fear having to raise taxes for transportation twice in one year. Gov. Baliles won that battle, too, producing a new gasoline tax measure during the last week of the session that will raise more than $96 million during the next two years to provide “start up funds” for the state highway department to use in planning critical road improvements. The governor’s only legislative loss came on the last day of the session, when the Senate derailed a mandatory seat belt law t^hat Gov. Baliles had championed. The seat belt law was one in a series of state mandates that came before the Assembly, which adopted mandates for teacher salary increases, school openings, vehicle bumper heights and well construction standards, and rejected proposals to mandate blaze orange clothing for hunters in deer season and prohibit dogs and people from riding in the open bed of pickup trucks. Partisan issues began to emerge during the latter weeks of the session, as Republicans united to oppose bills to limit local redistrictings (such as those proposed by Fairfax and Loudoun) and establish a Super Saturday for Virginia’s political parties to hold conventions for nominating presidential candidates, with the aim of providing political clout to Southern states. The Republicans also capitalized on the attempts, primarily by Democratic leaders, to rewrite the state’s conflict of interest statute and exempt legislators from criminal penalties for using their legislative power to benefit their personal interests. That proposal died amid persistent press criticism and rising public resentment. The legislature took some controversial steps, such as lowering the blood alcohol level necessary for automatic conviction of drunken drivers, prohibiting tobacco sales to minors and enacting a law with penalties for marital rape. It failed to make much more than a dent in the banking lobby, which won a hard-fought battle over credit card interest rates and the way they are computed. It also killed an attempt to reform the state’s divorce law, so that fault for a marriage’s dissolution no longer would be an absolute bar to award of alimony. On local issues, the results were mixed. Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock got two new judges —Jean H. Clements and Charles B.

THURSDAY, MARCH 13,1986 r -- Editorials The Library The Rappahannock County Library is a splendid resource that appears underutilized. It is surprising there are not more people who use the library. Grace Sims and her staff do an excellent job in obtaining current books and magazines. The library also has a surprisingly large collection of reference works as well as fiction and non-fiction books. The library subscribes to a number of important newspapers. Reviews of recent releases are prominently displayed which measurably adds to the convenience of those visiting the library. This is enormously helpful when one tries to select a new book. And there are many new books from which to choose. The library now has an expanded genelogical reference section which is of enormous help to those trying to search family roots. The library is also active in participating in literary discussions. Currently it is sponsoring “Changing Voices” which explores the Southern Literary Renaissance. Rewarding programs such as this are an important asset to our community. Once an old Presbyterian church, the building has book stacks where pews once stood. The library is a quiet place that invites exploration. A friend is gone George Bowles died on his 61st birthday this past Sunday. His political columns which appeared in the Rappahannock News and 34 other state newspapers offered important insight into issues affecting every citizen of the Old Dominion. He had the ability to appraise politics accurately and fairly and it was this talent which earned him enormous respect from political leaders and journalists. He was also (respected by average citizens who were enriched for having read him. George Bowles’s columns have appeared in this newspaper since 1977. He will be missed.

There are two choices: one, they decide to follow the examples of our more intensely developed neighboring counties; or two, they choose to keep Rappahannock rural, agricultural and beautiful. If we are to choose the latter, then I agree with your recent editorial concerning the annual “spring offensive” of the local representatives of the largest professional association in America today. For years, the local National Education Association members and their sympathizers have demanded sudden and large increases in the local tax rates. With few exceptions, their demands were and are insensitive to farmers and people on fixed incomes. However, the teachers in this county have seen regular increases in their salaries, while farmers, people on fixed incomes and other taxpayers have not enjoyed that financial benefit. Not being a good liberal Democrat, I don’t support large and sudden tax increases on any taxpayers, especially‘those involved in industries that are suffering economically. If we force landowners to sell subdivisions of their land in order to pay unfair tax increases, then the real estate developers, pollution, increased crime and the loss of our heritage will surely follow. No doubt, this is what a few individuals and groups may desire and call progress. Is this what the citizens of Rappahannock County want to leave to our “most important crop?” At the present time, the teach Letters to the editor ers’ association and their sympathizers control the public meetings and would surely overwhelm any individual or small group opposition. The answer to their domination of our public meetings is to respond against them politically at the voting polls next election. If the Board of Supervisors realizes that unfair and sudden tax increases are a political liability; then they will be careful not to upset the local and potentially powerful “silent majority.” The people of Rappahannock want excellent educational facilites for their children and fair pay for good teachers. However, funding for education and other county needs must be sensible and paced fairly, so that the tax burden is distributed evenly. Remember, that teachers in Washington, D.C., Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and so on are not satisfied with their high salaries; will ours ever be satisfied? We will never be able to compete with Fairfax County economically, but where would you rather live? We can’t improve our tax base with alternative taxation and progressive leadership, not through surrender to a special interest group claiming to be interested in our “most important crop,” but actually caring only for developing their group’s political clout. FLETCHER KING EASTHAM . Flint Hill 1 ‘The children are the whole point9 To the editor: I’m responding to your February 27th editorial as a former teacher in Rappahannock, currently raising children. I found it surprising that you never mentioned the children in your editorial on teachers’ salary coritplaints. The children are the whole point. I found it disturbing that you attempted to set people apart from one another, pitting farmer against teacher; teacher against taxpayer. I will remind you that all teachers are taxpayers and that the Rappahannock school system has many teachers who are married to farmers. Budget-time brings out a few thoughtless remarks from all concerned groups every year. This.is partly a result of the budget-making process, which is at best, humiliating for our county’s teachers. Why did you choose to highlight one remark and ignore the real situation? The truth is that in Rappahannock County, a single teaching income cannot even modestly support a spouse and one child. The burn-out that you mentioned, comes not so much from classroom stresses as from trying to teach in an atmosphere of confrontation and mistrust; in seeking to lead and inspire when one’s profession is publicly ridiculed. Surely it is possible to develop within this community a sense of wholeness and respect for one another, at the same time we strive for excellence in our schools. In cultivating young growing things, both farmers and teachers will agree that the climate makes all the difference. DIANE WOOD Washington Education — our ultimate goal To the editor: The future of Rappahannock will be a direct result of today’s educational system that our county’s children are now attending. I would like to challenge every member of our community to spend some time in deep contemplation of dreams and goals they would like to foresee for their next generation. The county will be in these children’s hands, and we all need to ask ourselves now - will they be capable of running Rapppahannock? Whether Rappahannock wants to change, or remain an island unto itContinued on page 5 Blue Ridge Echo How do you rate property taxes in the county? Martin Woodard Business owner Sperryville “I rate the property taxes on the slightly low side of reasonable. I don’t think that it’s a problem for most of the landowners in the county.” Frances Tabler Telephone operator Sperryville “I always felt it was low compared to other counties.” James E. Swindler Business owner SperryviUe “I think commercial property should have its own higher tax value. Places like the Aileen factory. As a suggestion, the county as a whole should be more lenient to tourist related businesses. Anything properly run could make money for the county.” Barbara Gore Shopkeeper Sperryville “Seems like to me it’s high when it comes out of my paycheck, but as far as doing things for the school, they’re not giving the schools enough money to give the children a good education.” J. Maurice O’Bannon Business owner Woodville “Well, I don’t think they’re excessive at this time. Anyway Rappahannock doesn’t have anything to tax. Nothing but land — that’s the problem.” Mazie Clark Florist Washington “I think they’re high. It seems like you put a lot out but don’t get anything back.” 4 I Interviews/photos Greg Turner

Letters to the editor Education Continued from page 4 self is not the issue. The issue we must all face is: change. Change means survival; stagnation means deaths. Change need not be frightening if we prepare to take steps now, so the process will seem natural and comfortable to us all, the key to change is EDUCATION. Recently on national television a news series was given on the American Farmer. Proud, idealistic and independent families with a love of the land, are literally dying of financial ruin. The cause? Poor economic management due to inadequate education. The result? Large, cold corporations are buying out the family farmer because they know more. They know more about Economics, Productivity, Profits and Losses, and Computer Literacy. If Rappahannock deeply desires to continue in this independent and self-sufficient rural lifestyle, they must face the reality that it is possible, but only with education. If we do not educate our own community, the “Outside” will eventually move in with High Tech companies. Buying out the financially indebted farmer will be an east ploy at that point. This kind of future would be frightening for our community. Now is the time to ask ourselves some in-depth questions. Do we value our education system in Rappahannock? How much? Do we care about our children? How much? Do we have a vested interest in our community? There should be a direct correlation between caring for our children/community and education. This county’s children are our future. What we provide for them now educationally, will be returned to our community in the near future. The question to pose now is — What is the best education? The best education starts with a commitment to excellence. We, as a community, need to demand the best administrators and teachers for our children. In a rural community this isn’t often an easy task. Teachers, like other professionals in our society, are looking for competitive salaries. Some areas pay very well, and offer full benefit packages. Some schools are able to provide substantial funds for classroom materials. Since Rappahannock lacks these basics, educating our children is more difficult. Why should a good teacher settle for less than she/he is professionally capable of earning in another system? The teachers in Rappahannock have been making a plea to parents and other community members: value your community, yourselves, your children. Allow your future to be filled with educated, home-grown residents. Now is the time to pull together to demand that our system work for us. Every time we deny money to our educational system, we are denying our children their right to a good education that could enable them to better survive and compete in a progressive society, and enrich and sustain our own community. Do we want our children to be slaved to poverty as a result of little or poor education? Most educators give professional talent, time and care to our children, as well as literacy, democratic values, survival skills, and history, mathematics, sciences and arts. In return, surely educators deserve just financial compensations. Let’s all take a careful look at the real issue facing Rappahannock: the future. The solution: EDUCATION. Nothing good is ever free. Our financial investment in our educational system will result in a community that can survive because it has the Learning to read is important - To the editor: Our thanks are extended to the county employees and to members of the business community for their cooperation in allowing the members of the Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers of America to place their posters and cards in their offices and Dtiiidings. ‘ 1 ’' Our group is trained to teach any adult who wants to learn to read or to read better: to read well enough to get a driver’s license, to write a check, fill out a form, help one’s child with homework, enjoy reading tht Bible, to understand labels and signs, or even to get a GED.

'Rappahannock Country' The Conyers House sponsors country inn workshop By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock New» Staff Writer Sandra and Norman CartwrightBrown have opened their historic country inn to other inn owners, and those considering the idea, through a series of country inn workshops. The couple is attempting to offer practical solutions to the various problems and complexities inherent in such an operation. Two workshops, sub-titled “everything you ever wanted to know about bed and breakfasts and country inns,” have already been held. Another is scheduled for later in March to be followed by workshops which will be held the first Saturday of each montlj. Like the Conyers House, ttie workshops are elegantly informal. Participants enter the Keeping Room where they are seated on one of two leather sofas or next to the grand piano. Old rustic beams hang overhead, oriental rugs cushion the feet, and a soft fire warms the visitors. Snow fell the night before the first workshop and the white branches of trees can be seen from the windows of this former country store. Every inn is unique — a reflection of the owners. The Conyers House imparts a “horsey” feeling — Winnie, their Jack Russell terrier, is testimony to that. After coffee is poured each of the participants is asked to introduce themselves and reveal their motivations for attending the workshop. Susan Anderson and Susan Rapalus, owners of the Candlewick Inn in Woodstock are there to clearly learn more about maximizing profit through better use of their inn’s existing space. Each of the partners has not left their regular jobs, preferring to concentrate on the inn during weekends. Sandra CartwrightBrown quickly advises that this is an excellent approach for new inn owners so they do not have to “tapdance” to make a living by depending on inn profits alone. The Candlewick Inn, the owners explain, was originally an old Victorian home that now offers six sleeping accommodations. Guests there enjoy “a delicious breakfast of home-baked breads, rolls, jams, fruit and cheese.” Nan Thomasson, owner of Heritage House in Washington, attended the workshop to gain ideas for her new venture. She, along with her husband Jim, recently opened ■v the inn with, a unique conceptof selling the furniture used by the guests, along with the inn’s numerous decorative accessories. As owner of Country Heritage gift shop across the street, she has the advantage of bringing into her inn many unusual objects found in the shop. Susan Allen who, with Louis Cable, owns Dulaney Hollow near Etlan is in the process of starting a country inn. The house, built in 1904, will have four guest rooms. “We have some outbuildings with potential,” says Susan. The Cartwright-Browns maximized their outbuildings by converting them into a collection of unique sleeping quarters. Pat and Paul Brown of Fairfax Station are not inn owners but they are going to be. They bought the Arundel Ordinary, built in 1810, which they plan to convert into an inn with four bedrooms. Because of its 18 mile proximity to Washington, D.C. they hope to attract visitors who have come to the area for sightseeing.

Inc BLALOCK CYCLE CO. on the Bypass in Warrenton (7031347-4591 Vincent DeLuise, who has restaurant experience, is considering the possibility of opening an inn in the future. Paid and Barbara Mayville recently moved to Virginia from Connecticut. They are searching for a large, old house, with acreage for Angus cattle. They are concentrating their effort to realize this dream in Rappahannock County. Much time at the workshop is devoted to a discussion of correctly marketing an inn to the kinds of guests the owners wish to attract. As an example, old homes filled with fragile objects do not lend themselves to children. There was discussion about methods that can be used to bring back previous guests. One popular approach is to let former guests know about an unusual event happening near the inn. The production and design of an inn’s brochure was analyzed. Examples of good brochures, along with poor examples, were shown and discussed. Because the brochure represents the inn, it is important Country bedroom at The Conyers House because he likes “entertaining and meeting people.” He said that money was not a motivating factor in his decision to offer a bed and breakfast. “I have to be coerced to raise the rates,” he said. Harriett Ellison has a different concept from the other participants. She had considered the possibility of converting a one bedroom suite on her horse farm near Culpeper into an apartment but has decided to offer it as a guest room. Ann Farmer came to the workshop to glean information that could be used to enhance the operation of Camp Shenandoah Springs in Haywood. She and her husband Doug, who is a Baptist minister, operate a four bedroom 18th century country inn on the property as well as run a Christian summer camp for children during the summer. The Farmers advertise “good home-cooked meals year round!” that it adequately convey the feeling of the place. An “innkeepers financial analysis” sheet was distributed highlighting the direct and indirect monetary benefits of an inn operation. Another financial sheet was also given that was useful for the determination of room rates. That sheet stated that the inn shoulc realize a profit within the first five years; businesses that fail usually do so within the first six months. Networking, the concept of one inn owner helping another, was promoted. Not every inn will appeal to all types of persons and if there is an incompatibility the guest is to be recommmended to another establishment. Obviously that concept also works well when there are “no rooms at the inn.” The workshop, which covered these and other topics, had a pleasantly non-structured approach One idea generated others. The tyl Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT The Keeping Room participants learned from the Cartwright-Browns and from each other. Discussion about country inns never stopped, even during the delicious complimentary lunch. Featured were specialties of The Conyers House — a warm cheese strata, tossed salad with a house dressing, and freshly baked bread. A favorite white wine was also offered. The meal concluded with a homemade old-fashioned parsnip cake. The meal was a reflection of the Cartwight-Brown’s warmth and good hospitality — which are necessary ingredients of any successful country inn.

Some of the new hymns are from other Christian traditions. “They are not new, but they are new to us,” says Mr. Hobson. He believes that everybody will find at least one favorite hymn missing from the new hymnal but that they will appreciate the additions. The typography of the new hymnbook differs from its predecessor. “I like the real changes but visually I could do without them,” he smiles, referring to the cleaner look. Mr. Hobson says that the Episcopal Church has changed appreciably in recent years and that this change is reflected in the new hymnal. “We’re not as ‘WASPish’ as we were before,” he says, “there is a more multicultural dimension now.” “The third world is at the cutting edge of Christianity today,” he says. “People are hungering to be a part of the Christian church all over the world.” He says that in some places, including Africa, there are too many congregations for the available number of clergy. The demography of the church is also changing. “We are approaching the point where the majority of Episcopalians are black,” he says. Asked about the decline in membership of the Episcopal Church in the United States, Mr. Hobson says that he “doesn’t buy” that notion. “In actual numbers there may be a slight decrease but the life of the Episcopal Church is bursting forth strongly.” All of the hymnbooks were given to the church either anonymously or in memory of a past member. “The response was tremendous,” said Mr. Hobson. He also stated that no money had to be taken from the church’s general fund for the project. Mr. Hobson explained that early ordering also saved money because of a reduced per-copy price. Referring to the United States, Mr. Hobson said, “I have .heard that the hymnals were the largest order that UPS ever delivered.” He said that Trinity Episcopal Church chose Sunday, March 16, on which to introduce “The Hymnal 1982” in order to give the congregation time to become acquainted with the new.hymnbook before Easter. Easter basketweaving A basketweaving workshop will be held Wednesday, March 26th (just in time for Easter) at the Middle Street Gallery Artists Cooperative in Washington, Virginia. , The one day workshop will be devoted to completing an Appalachian Melon Basket with a wild grapevine handle and natural dyed splints.

He will sell only so much insurance for your auto or house or business. But he will sell all the life insurance you can afford for yourself, your spouse, and all members of your family. Now, he's a business man. He knows that an auto or house is worth only so much, and its worth can be calculated almost to the dollar. But not so with the human being! No. calculation can determine the worth of a person. No price is too great; no sacrifice too severe for one individual life. Someone calculated years ago that "the human body contains: — enough lime to white wash a chicken coop; — enough fat to make two bars of soap; — enough potassium to set off a toy cannon; — enough sulfur to rid a dog of fleas; — enough iron to make a twelve penny nail; — enough phosphorous to tip a box of matches; — enough gases to fill a few jars, — and the rest is water. Total worth at pre-inflation prices: 98 cents" But we, along with the insurance agent, know better. We are created in God's image. Dust, yes, but dust that’s been in Divine Hands.

EARL YANCEY Certified Public Accountant 70 Main Street, Suite 34 Warrenton, Va. 22186 (703) 347-9633 - J Business Investigate the benefits of refinancing By Q. EARL YANCEY Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Any time available real estate financing is about two percent lower than your existing mortgage, you should investigate the benefits of refinancing. This might be best illustrated by a specific example. Whether your mortgage is larger or smaller than the example shown, the concept is still valid. Even though your mortgage may be smaller, you will still want to pursue refinancing if there is money to be saved. Assume that your existing mortgage is $109,000 with an interest rate of 13.75 percent and monthly payments for principal and interest of $1,290. (This comparison does not include the payment for insurance and taxes since these costs will not change.) Currently, mortgage rates are 10.75 percent. To refinance or “buy down” the interest rate on your existing mortgage, the institution making the loan wants two points' plus other refinancing costs for a total of $3,300. After refinancing, your new monthly payment for principal and interest will be $1,049, a savings of $241 per month for the next twentyfive years. You’ll recover your. $3,300 refinancing costs in approximately fourteen months. The total interest saved over the life of the contract is $72,300. You have invested $3,300 now to save $241 per month for the next twenty-five years. The annual rate of return on your $3,300 is 87 percent. There are two basic approaches available for paying your refinancing costs. One is to simply buy your existing mortgage down to the lower rate by paying the refinancing costs in cash. The second is to finance those costs and have them added to ,your existing loan. In the above example, the $3,300 would be added to the $109,000 to make the new mortgage $112,300.

Computers to assist farmers Virginia Tech Extension is developing a computer program which will assist farmers in assessing the new 1986 Federal Crop Insurance options. James Moore, Extension agricultural economist, said that a computer program should be available for use in Extension offices in the spring. It will allow farmers to calculate the best alternative of crop insurance coverage according to their base yield. Currently, premiums for various crops range from $2 to $15 per acre. Farmers can insure for payments for 50,65, or 75 percent of their average yield. Insurees can choose one of three prices per bushel for each crop for insurance claims. The new crop insurance policies calculate coverage based on individual farm yields, rather than average county yields. To qualify farmers are required to supply detailed records of their yields. Farmers without three years of records will be assigned county averages. Moore noted that the new policy is an impovement for both growers and insurers and should save growers money. E. Eugene Gantz, chief executive of the American Association of| Crop Insurers reported that last spring 25-30 percent of corn and sorghum farmers used their own actual production history to prove their yields. For the most part, he said, this resulted in increased coverage at a reduced premium. He also added that accurate records prove beneficial in supporting loan needs. Moore said that farmers who benefit most from insurance are those who can least afford it, but insurance is an important investment. County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service offices will compute base yields when farmers supply their records. Ten years of back records are needed to calculate this average. However, with a miniumum of three years, an indexed yield can be calculated by adjusting the farmer’s unrecorded years using county averages from that period. A wide range of documents will be accepted in 1986 to verify yields. These will include such statements as bin measurements, scale tickets and warehouse or elevator sales summaries.

America Salutes AGRICULTURE DAY March 2™ Twenty questions about Virginia agriculture What do you know about Virginia’s agriculture? You probably know that only about two percent of the population is working on the farm, but do you know how much that small percentage produces? Test your knowledge and see what your agriculture IQ is with these twenty questions. 1. What is the percent of individual or family owned farms? 2. What is the percent of women farm operators? 3. How many of Virginia’s farmers have principal occupations other than farming? 4. Although tobacco is Virginia’s number one field crop, what percent of the land is harvested in tobacco? 5. Most information would lead you to believe that farms are getting bigger each year. Is this true in Virginia? 6. Farms are for the countryside, right? Wrong. Virginia has three independent cities with farms. Which city lists the greatest number of farms? 7. Which is the number one county in farm production in the Old Dominion? 8. Which county leads in the number of farms? 9. If you got that one right, how about the county with the least number of farms? 10. Tobacco, com, soybeans are all considered as big crops in Virginia. Test your knowledge on this one. The largest acreage of farmland is devoted to what crop? 11. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Could Virginia’s orchards supply enough apples to put doctors out of business? > 12. Rockingham County is known as the turkey capital of the world. Could the industry supply all Virginian’s with all the turkey they want to eat? 13. If all the soybeans produced in one year on Virginia farms were put in farm trucks and lined up, how far would they stretch? 14. One of the little known industries in Virginia is the nursery industry. Where else are you going to find the shrubs and sod you need? If all the sod for sale in Virginia was used to cover Highway 1, how far would it go? 15. If all the eggs produced in Virginia were laid end to end, how far would they go? 16. How much of Virginia’s land is in farmland? 17. What was the average farm total net income per farm in 1982? 18. If all of Virginia’s commercial tomato crop was divided equally among all the citizens of the state, how many tomatoes would you have? 19. Virginia ranks fifth in peanut production and also has the number one county in the country in production. Can you name the county? 20. This one will fool you. What is the total value of Virginia’s farm assets? 1. (It’s 88 percent. There has been a lot of talk about farms leaving the family, but in Virginia with 51,893 farms according to the 1982 census they list 45,733 as individual or family owned.) 2. (Most times when we say farmer we think of men, and yet there are 4,035 women farm operators making up 7 percent of the total.) 3. (It’s difficult today for a farmer to make all of his income on the farm and some 54 percent have incomes other than farming. They total 27,771.) 4. (Virginia’s cropland is listed at 2,784,665 acres and only 64,005 acres is in tobacco or 2 percent.) 6. (No. According to the 1982 census the average farm is 182 acres down from 189 in 1978.) 6. (Suffolk has 376, Chesapeake - 282 and Virginia Beach - 230.) 7. (Everybody ought to know the answer to that one. Rockingham, of course. It ranks among the top 100 counties in the U.S. ranking 61st.) 8. (If you said Rockingham, that is a good guess, but not the right one. Washington County has 2,869, Answers Rockingham — 2,046 and you might like to know that Pittsylvania is third with 2,026.) 9. (The 1982 census lists Charles City County with just 70 farms as the lowest. Although if you said James City County you would have been close, they have just 71.) 10. (The farmers of Virginia are making hay. In fact, 953,821 acres of it.) 11. (Not quite, Virginia produced 500 million pounds of apples in 1982. Assuming every man woman and child of Virginia’s more than 5.5 million people had access to the apples, it would come to an apple every other day.) 12. (You may want more than others, because turkey is such good eating, but on the average the answer is you betcha. Virginia sold 183,474,000 pounds of turkey in 1982. As the average consumption is 10.8 pounds, we could supply almost three times that average.) 13. (Quite a ways. In 1982,Virginia produced 16.8 million bushels.

If you scored between 15 and 20 correct, we need you to spread the word about agriculture, because the vast minority certainly knows less than you do, and they ought to know.

If you scored 5 to 9 correct, you may want to do a little more research to bring up your agricultural IQ. If your scored four or less, you must be far removed from life on the farm. There is a whole world out there you ought to know about. The grocery store isn’t where all that food originates. Let’s give the farmer the credit he is due. What is Virginia Agriculture Week This year, March 14-20, will mark the 11th observance of Virginia Agriculture Week. An annual event that calls attention to the first, and largest industry in Virginia that has in so many ways contributed to the quality of life for each of us. The original idea for such a celebration came from the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services in 1976 during the country’s Bicentennial observance. The first theme was “Freedom’s Roots - Agriculture.” In 1977 the theme of the event AG DAY MARCH 20, 1986 SfendnoW for the only book on crime ever written by a dog! Get hot tips on crime prevention!

Other themes over the years have included: Virginia — Where Agriculture Works, Agriculture A Reason For Giving Thanks, Virginia Agriculture — More For Your Money. In recent years the week of the celebration also includes National Agriculture Day, this year March 20. Since 1073 the people of the United States are called upon to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities in recognition of the nation’s “most basic industry.” What is Agriculture Day? National Agriculture Day, first observed in 1973, is an annual celebration officially recognized by the Congress of the United States, the President and most governors. The secretary of agriculture has served as honorary chairman since 1981. Agriculture Day is set aside as a time to explain and salute the achievements of the working men and women of agriculture in America, who are responsible for 20 percent of our gross national product — from the miners of ores that go into tractor steel to producers to cashiers at our neighborhood restaurants. Agriculture Day falls on the first day of spring, a traditional time of renewal and rekindling of the spirit. Since 1980, Agriculture Day has been nationally coordinated by the Agriculture Council of America Education Foundation, building on the work during the 1970s of the Agriculture Day Foundation, the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) the American National CowBelles and a number of cooperatives and agribusiness firms that remain active supporters today.

Day realtor nrrn VERB OR NOUN? Title to real estate, today, is transferred by a written legal document — a deed. This wasn’t always so. The word “deed” in common usage, means the doing of an act. At one time the “deed” which transferred land was just that. American real estate law traces its roots to England, and there, several hundred years ago, title to land was transferred from seller to buyer after the two had walked the “metes and bounds” — or the property lines — of the real estate. Then, in the presence of witnesses, the seller threw a clod of dirt, striking the new owner! This symbolized the transfer. Later, the “deed” which closed the transfer came to be a bit less violent, such as handing a twig from the property to the new owner. Of course, the witnesses were necessary to insure there was proof of the transfer. Transfer of real estate is far more sophisticated and complex now than it was in medieval England. No “deed” during that ancient time was ever held in escrow! Also, you can’t get hit by a clod of dirt in today’s market.

More than 180 entries have been made for the eight- race card at Broadview Farm, including 60 in the flat race which will have to be split, perhaps even into three or four divisions. “I can’t ever remember anything to approach this,” said racing secretary Will O’Keefe. “I can’t remember splitting the flat race and still having anything left over for the other races.” Not only are there entries left over for the other races on Warrenton’s card, but two jump races may also have to be split. The open timber has a field of 24 entered, only eight of which are cross entered in other races, and the maiden hurdle race has 25 entries, also with only eight cross entries. The smallest race on the Warrenton card is the first race, a junior pony race which is a new addition to the local hunt’s program. Five ponies have been entered in the race, but entries will remain open until shortly before the 11:30 a.m. post time Saturday. Fans of racing over timber will have three, and possibly four, wellfilled races to satisfy their appetites. The featured Dell Cup'for ownerriders has a card of 15 entries. Both the Blue Ridge winner, John Beas ley and My Happy Way, and the Casanova winner, Dr. William Russell and Marat, have entered their horses. Other winners entered are Fairfax horseman “Tennessee” Graham’s Ahira’s Tale, a winner last year at Fairfax, Bruce Rosenbaum’s Oriental Express, winner of the Foxhunters’ race at Casanova, and David Semmes’ Phenom, winner last year at Old Dominion. tioned race winner, Delivery Man, William Russell’s Fiddler’s Dam and Mrs. Douglas Vere Nicoll’s Frog Prince. The ladies’ timber race, with a field of 15, only three of which are cross-entered, also appears likely to be exciting. Among the winners is Fairfax Hunt MFH Randy Rouse’s Cinzano which has not yet run this year. Kip Johnson of Richmond has Several winners are entered in the open timber race, which has a field of 24. The two winners at Casanova, Mr. and Mrs. William Fendley’s Devil’s Valentine and James Treptow’s Jordan, have both been entered. Also entered is Paul B.

After a week of dry weather with high temperatures and strong winds to dry the ground, the going is expected to be fast, according to race chairman Douglas Lees. “The course looks really good — it looks like it’s going to be fast,” said Mr. Lees. “Some rain won’t hurt it at all, it’s in really good shape. “Members of the hunt have worked really hard to get the course in shape this year, and we have a lot of volunteers to help with parking. It should be a great day.” Events® Calendar Mar. 15 Mar. 15 Mar. 16 Mar. 16 Mar. 22-23 Mar. 22 Mar. 22 Mar. 26-30 Mar. 29 Mar. 29 Warrenton Hunt Point-toPoint Races, Broadview' Farm, Warrenton Whimsey Hill Farm Pony Show, Frying Pan Park, Herndon Warrenton Hunt Hunter Pace Event, Grove, Warrenton Whimsey Hill Farm Horse Show, Frying Pan Park, Herndon Dressage Show, Westmoreland Davis Equestrian Institute, Morven Park, Leesburg Indoor Schooling Show, November Hill Equestrian Center, Nokesville Piedmont Fox Hounds Point-to-Point & Hunter Pace, Salem Farm, Upperville Showday Festival, Commonwealth Park, Culpeper i Middleburg Hunt Point- 4., to-Point & Hunter Pace, Glenwood Park, Middleburg Schooling Horse Show, Westmoreland Davis Equestrian Center, Leesburg

School Deborah FI inchum for the Rappahannock News PREPARING FOR 7TH grade class trip are Will Adams and Jenny Lamm. Williamsburg — iust one part of trip By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock County Elementary School will be full of activity bright and early on March 18. At 6:30 a.m. the seventh graders will be leaving the the county on a journey that will take them into the past to look forward to the future. Seventh grade teacher Mrs. Lynne Baines remembered how this trip has become a tradition. “Our first trip was in 1972. We’ve only missed one year and that was because of the gas shortage. George Graham was teaching here at the time and he was amazed at the number of kids who didn’t know there was another part of Virginia. They could make no association with a lot of the things we did in history and - science., Williamsburg was basically chosen because it correlated with seventh grade history,” she said. “Our academic objective is to make the students feel like a citizen of this state by visiting the three capitals — Jamestown, Williamsburg, Richmond. Culturally, to broaden their minds,” stated Mrs. Baines. Mrs. Baines summarized the itinerary for this year’s trip. “The first day we go to Old Jamestown. We see a film. We go-to a museum and then we walk around the island to see the old church tower, the original state houses of Jamestown, and statues of Pocahontas and John Smith. We then have a picnic lunch. Then we go to Jamestown Festival Park. We see the museum, fort, ships, and an Indian village,” she continued. From there we go to the mlormation center to see the movie The Story of a Patriot.’ We check into the motel and go to dinner. We have a program that night on music diversion and see another movie about the gunsmiths. We’re back in the room by 10:30p.m.,” said Mrs. Baines. “The next day is spent with the tour guides in Williamsburg,” she said. “Each guide has about 25 students. They have things open to students that are not open to the general public. So really the school groups get to see a lot more. We go to the Governor’s Palace. We walk to the College of William and Mary. Then we go back to the motel and have dinner. That night we go to two more programs. One is about the craft shops and the other is about military life back then.” “The next morning we’re up at 6:45 to load the buses to go to Cape Henry. They climb the lighthouse and walk on the beach. We see the stone cross that shows where settlers first touched land,” described Mrs. Baines. “From there we ride to Suffolk and go to Dismal Swamp. Then we ride five miles to Lake Drummond where Washington surveyed during his early days. From there we ride to Richmond. After dinner we go to the Fine Arts Museum. Virginia is fortunate to be one of the few states to have a state owned fine arts museum. This is a cultural experience that I think the students ought to have.” Mrs. Baines continued, “The next morning we go to St. John’s Church. Then we go to Stanley’s for lunch. If we have enough time we go across the street to Miller ahd Rhodes so they can see a big department store. From there there’s the science museum. All the activities in the museum are hands-on activities with computers, audio science, and other things. We also see the universe program. This year it’s about Halley’s Comet and the Shuttle missions. At 5 they have a snack, get on the bus and sleep all the way home,” laughed Mrs. Baines. “This is why I don’t like for it to be called the Williamsburg trip. Now, we do a lot more than go to Williamsburg. The trip gives the kids a chance to look at government from the beginning at Jamestown to its development in Williamsburg to how it is today,” Mrs. Baines stated. “When they get back we do a survey of the students to find out what they liked. It’s amazing some things that you think are ordinary that they have been amazed with. A lot have never stayed in a motel before,” Mrs. Baines continued. “One boy thought the James River was an ocean and he thought he was looking at England on the other side. Many like Williamsburg because it correlates with the history that they’ve been studying. Some liked climbing the lighthouse. Some have never been on a boat so they liked the ships at Jamestown.” Seventh graders Jenny Lamm and Will Adams enthusiastically await the arrival of March 18. Jenny said, “I think it will be exciting to learn things about the past and what the people did. We earned our own money to go and I think it will be a nice break.” “I think it will be fun to go places with my friends and to be with my classmates who I never have any time with,” Will replied. “I’ll also learn more about how our forefathers helped us get here.” Students are divided into groups of eight, with a chaperone responsible for each group. nti_n.i n:i _i._ j ± at uav/O wuun^ut^U) “For some of the kids it’s the first time they’ve been away from home. That’s a big thing for this age group. It gives them a chance to be independent and they will be able to relate things to their studies better.” Mrs. Giles continued, “I realize that being a chaperone will be a big responsibility. But I felt that I should help out too since Lynne and all the kids have worked so hard.” The total cost of the trip is $12,500. With a lot of hard work for the past two years the students have been able to raise most of the money themselves. The SPTA donated $500 and individuals have given money to go towards the student’s cost of $50. “Without the help of the community we could never have raised this much money,” said Mrs. Baines. Students Will Adams and Jenny Lamm agreed that the sale of pizza kits was the most effective method of raising money. “We couldn’t have raised the money if the people hadn’t bought the pizza kits so we need to thank the people for buying them,” commented Will Adams. Mrs. Baines said, “The students come back from this trip in a different frame of mind because they have gone with their peer group. They’ve worked for it together. It is someEntrance age for school has changed All children are eligible to enter school in 1986 if they are five years of age by November 30.

New playground for RCES Continued from page 1 muscle.” Mrs. Rogers explained the four major fund raisers. Money is needed to buy wood and other supplies not donated. “The fund raisers are BuyA-Board, Commercial/Business Block contributions, Individual donations, and the Pickle Jar method. Each student will bring home a flyer explaining what Buy-A-Board means. Those who are interested in being a salesperson will receive a sales package. The package will include an informational letter, an explanation of the bonus prize and a buyer’s list sheet. The children will ask relatives and community members for a five dollar donation. Every Monday the list of contributors and money will be collected. The student who collects the most single sales by the end of the campaign wins fifty dollars, sedfind highest wins twenty-five dollars, third highest wins fifteen dollars and fourth highest wins ten dollare. The class who collects the most sales will be shown a movie in class with popcorn. Commercial/Business or community organization contributions may be bought in five board section. Five boards cost twenty-five dollars, ten boards cost fifty dollars, twenty boards cost one hundred dollars or other. Individual donations of five dollars and up may be made by mailing a donation to Rappahannock County Elementary School SPTA, Sperryville, VA 22740. “The Pickle Jar method is comparable to “Jerry’s Kids” jars in 7-11 stores. Hopefully, they will be placed in each country store in Rappahannock County,” said Mrs. Rogers. Other contributions of time given by students, parents, and teachers for construction are needed, she explained. Donations of supplies by individuals and businesses and the loan of equipment and tools will be helpful. Especially needed are cement mixers, tractors, tillers, and trucks with drivers. If anyone would like to donate these call Maggie Rogers at 984-8042 or Cindy Andreoni at 987-8750. “Just think!” exclaimed Mrs. Rogers. “If every student sells one board, that would make a grand total of three thousand dollars. What a terrific playground that will build. We can do it!” Home-grown herbs By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent Herbs may be grown in the home garden to provide seasoning for food, flavoring for cool drinks, and scents and decorations for the home. Plants are quite free from damage by diseases and insects. A few short rows in the vegetable or flower garden will provide an adequate supply for the average family. A well-drained, fertile soil with pH 6.0 to 7.0 is best for herbs. Apply two pounds of 10-10-10 or four pounds of 5-10-5 fertilizer per 100 square feet, and disc or rototill into the soil when the garden is prepared for planting. For small seeded herbs, sow seeds directly into peat pots filled with seed-starting media about six weeks before the last frost date. Large seeded varieties may also be started by this method, or sow seed directly into the garden about one week before the average date of the last frost in your area. Sow the seeds thinly in a shallow furrow and cover with soil equal to about four times their largest diameter. Control weeds during the grow'-, ing season to eliminate their use of water and nutrients which are needed by your herbs. A one-inch mulch of shredded leaves or other loose organic material will conserve soil moisture and help control annual weeds. Irrigation may be necessary for young plants during periods of drought.

' given by inspiration of God. Upon ] this statement of fact, Christianity; stands. By inspiration we mean the ! Holy Ghost exerted His supernatural j influence upon the writers of the Bi- j ble. He used their experience and j » personality but allowed only the truth ! jj and the precise things of God to be j r recorded without error. \ £ The Holy Ghost is not only an au- ] ? thor but he is also the believer's tea-! £ cher. (John 16:12-15). He is thej f anointing that abides in us and tea- j g ches us all things. He is the truth and j a is no lie. We are fold to abide in him! f even as he has taught us. j £ Because we have such a tea- j cher, we are not easily seduced to - believe another gospel. A gospel that! denies that Jesus is the Christ and | was virgin bom, that kind of teaching ? is a lie and is the spirit of antichrist. ! The Bible is our guide, The Holy j Ghost our teacher, and Jesus our j perfect example. * Friends if you don’t understands the Bible, there could be something j wrong in your spirit, maybe it has not * renewed as yet. Read II Cor. 5:17, If S that is the case in your life read Ro- £ mans 10:9 & 10 and ask Jesus in « your heart. Then you can ask the? great teacher, the Holy Ghost to re- s veal the meaning to you and He will. S Now be blessed in the Name of • Jesus. | If I can help you or pray with you. s call me.

Short rows of each will produce an ample supply for culinary use during the summer. Spearmint is an easily grown perennial which spreads by rhizomes underground. Mint seeds are very small and often have low germination rates. It would be easier to acquire a start of spearmint from a friend with an herb garden. Use caution in where you plant any mint as they tend to be very invasive. Sage and thyme are perennials which will give repeated crops of leaves for seasoning meats, dressing and soups. Fennel is possibly more like a vegetable than an herb. Its bulb-like base is used raw or cooked as a salad. Many other types of herbs are available for gardeners who wish to grow them.

Higher salaries urged Continued from page 1 Barney O’Meara said that he found the “Lane-Rudman” resolution unclear. (He was jokingly referring to the Board of Supervisor’s resolution which was drafted by Supervisor Nelson Lane; Mr. O’Meara said that Mr. Lane had used that term). Mr. O’Meara said that it was the school board’s duty to seek higher teacher salaries by making a concrete case, with statistical information, much the way it would make a case for a new boiler or school buses. “You should say this is what we need and why,” he stated. He said that he believes that it is logical to compare this county’s teacher salaries with those in neighboring counties. In other matters: The school board passed the SPTA’s request to begin a new playground for the elementary school. (SEE STORY PAGE1.) The board will not .attempt to ^ waive a mandate from the General Assembly which states that the school year cannot start before La; bor Day. The board passed a measure to allocate $600 in funds to mend potholes in the high school’s driveway. A small portion of that money will be used to repair the elementary school’s roadway. Three substitute teachers were approved: Marie Atkins, Patricia Lawler, and Joyce Ralls. Correction In last week’s edition, an article was included about breast cancer screening in area hospitals.
