By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer Faux marbe, a painting technique that creates the appearance of marble, is being used in the lobby of the Gay Street Theater in Washington. Jane Cooper and Georgia Walsworth are the artists who are busy giving the lobby the new look. The walls are being painted in a peach color; the baseboard is getting a contrasting green-black coat. The doors will get a mahogany and maple grain finish. The technique used to create faux marbe involves the the use of oil-based paints, brushes, soft tissue paper, and pieces of rubber. In the case of the walls, the peach colored paint is applied over a coat of white paint; the peach colored paint is then carefully scraped with a piece of rubber. The baseboard, called serpentine marble, is painted in emerald green; black paint is then gently applied with tissue paper. The result is an uncanny resemblance to genuine marble. Once the painting is finished, a group of volunteers will apply coats of varnish to the walls. This will impart an illusion of old age and will have the added benefit of protecting the finish. The lobby is also getting new carpeting to complement the walls and woodwork. The mushroom colored carpeting is, according to RAAC director Anne Stephens, of industrial strength quality. The project, which is taking the equivalent of two weeks to complete, will be finished by Easter. Jane Cooper and Georgia Walsworth, who have formed their own design business called “Cooper-Walsworth”, have had several projects in which their unusual approaches to wall design have been realized. They did the stenciling in the Mayes House in Washington and the ball room of the Shenandoah Valley Golf Club near Front Royal. They employ many techniques to accomplish a particular effect, including hand-painting, faux finishing (woodgraining and marbleizing), and “fantasy finishes”. The latter include such finishes as the recreation of a sky or adobe walls. Volunteers who would like to help varnish the walls of the theater’s lobby may call Anne Stephens at the RAAC office, 675-3193; Jane Cooper, 937-537'!+; or Georgia Walsworth, 987-891+1. RAAC looks for members to raise operating funds By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahlinnock News Staff Writer The month of March is the date for the annual membership drive of the Rappahannock Association For the Arts and The Community (RAAC). The organization, according to its director Anne Stephens, offers a lot of benefits to its members including advance mailings and discounts on events. “We are looking for more members,” said Ms. Stephens. “There are so many people in this county we haven’t yet reached.” “Some people do not realize that we like to make (the theater) available to any arts related events,” she said. “We are trying to be more responsive to the community. ” The money raised by the membership drive generates revenue that will help refurbish the main hall of the theater. Some of the seats are in need of repair; wall repainting is also needed. “Our goal is to completely renovate by late spring or early summer,” said Ms. Stephens. The current membership numbers approximately 300 people. ‘We are looking for more,” said the director. In pointing out the advantages of attending RAAC’s weekend films, Ms. Stephens said that “we show only critically acclaimed movies and there is really a warm community feeling here — people always run into their neighbors and friends.” RAAC has several types of memberships available: an individual membership costs $10; student membership, $3; sponsor membership, $25; sustaining membership, $50; and a patron memberhip, $100. For more information call the RAAC office at 675-3193. Bloodmobile coming The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton Fire House on Thursday, March 27, between the hours of noon and 6 p.m., with a goal of collecting 90 units (pints). Due to a fine response last week at Vint Hill Farms Station, where 93 units were donated, the Fauquier Chapter of the Red Cross has attained 85 percent of its goal for the fiscal year that ends June 30, according to George Borjes, blood service chairman. After March 27 there will be only one more visit of the Bloodmobile to Continued on page 16 Telephone survey to be conducted The Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission and the Rappahannock County Planning Commission have begun updating the Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan. In order to receive citizens opinions about public services and trends in the county, a telephone survey will be conducted Sunday, March 23 through Thursday, March 27 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Approximately 350 households will be surveyed at random throughout the county. The survey will be extremely helpful to determine many attitudes and opinions of county residents. All surveys will be kept strictly confidential. Board agrees to incentive pay By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock. County School Board agreed on Tuesday night to adopt the School Superintendent’s proposed budget regarding teacher salaries. The Board added to that budget incentive money which would be awarded to certain classifications of teachers. Teachers entering the school system with no experience would be given a $300 “sign-on” incentive to be paid soon after beginning the job. Teachers beginning their sixteenth through their twentieth years would be given a $500 additional amount. Those teachers beginning their twenty-first through their twentyI--- I year of teaching would receive a $750 incentive. Those beginning their twenty-sixth year would receive a $1000 additional amount. However, another vote will be taken at next Tuesday’s work session concerning that part of the proposed budget which encompasses teacher salaries. The incentives must fit within that overall part of the budget. Board members believe that the teacher salary structure is weakest at the beginning level and at the highest levels of experience. “We have got to be more competitive at these ends,” said Board member Randall Updike. The plan, according to School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, is an “incentive to come and an incentive to stay.” Under this proposal, a teacher with no experience will receive $15,212 including the incentive. Last year’s beginning teacher received $13,618. Under this plan a teacher with one year of experience will receive $15,359; teachers with this amount of experience will not receive a bonus under the plan. A teacher beginning his sixteenth year would now make $22,272. Last year’s figure was $19,882. A teacher with more than twenty-five years experience made $20,972 last year; that figure would be increased to $23,964. DAFFODILS SIGNAL THE ARRIVAL OF Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner SPRING IN WASHINGTON There was confusion as to whether a teacher with twenty-five years of experience would receive $750 or $1000; the Board agreed that it would amend the minutes at next week’s work session to reflect its intention. School Superintendant Robert Estabrook, saying that “I do believe in miracles,” announced that the state has reduced the county’s composite index rating from .6583 to .6149. “We are in a position to receive more of the basic aid monies because of that,” said Mr. Estabrook. The Superintendent announced that the General Assembly is allocating $53,301 to this school district which is recorded in the budget as “transitional funds.” “The intent of the General Assembly is for teachers to receive at least a ten percent increase in monies,” said Mr. Estabrook. Although this sum will come to the school division without “strings attached,” next year’s allocated amount of $51,000 is conditional upon these increases. Board members were concerned that the conditions could have the effect of creating additional problems in the future. There was also concern that after next year, with such increases in place, the state could stop the pro gram entirely. The Board, in taking a categorical, line-by-line, approach cut the Superintendent’s budget in several areas and maintained it in others: The proposed budget allocated $16,000 for substitute teachers in both schools; that figure was decreased by $2000. Members believe that this year’s high sickness rate will decrease next year. Educational television and library books were cut by $2500. $5000 was removed from the textbook line; the original plan was to have the county pick up $5 per Continued on page 16 iNKA director supports PEC on 6slob hunter’ By THERESA REYNOLDS & DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writers The Piedmont Environmental Council, which has waged a sometimes solitary fight against road hunters and other violators of Virginia’s game laws, will get reinforcements from an unexpected quarter at Friday’s meeting of the Virginia 'Game Commission in Richmond. “We’ve been harping on hunter ethics and education for years and years,” James Noreen, director of hunter services for the National Rifle Association, said in an interview last week. “We fully support the work of PEC in this area. In fact, we think that insisting on and enforcing high standards of hunter conduct are vitally important to the future of hunting in this state.” Mr. Noreen said that the NR A had no official position yet on a legislative solution to Virginia’s “slob hunter” problem but planned to have one formulated in time for the Game Commission’s March 21 hearing in Richmond. PEC, a privately funded rural conservation organization based in Warrenton and serving nine piedmont counties, formed a special committee last year to examine the “slob hunter” problem in response to the Court reversal " The Supreme Court of Virginia reversed a ruling concerning the estate of the late Robert Eugene Wood and Virginia Fletcher Wood who died on the evening of August 28, 1979, when their car stalled on a bridge over the Thornton River during a flash flood. Judge William Shore Robertson had originally ruled in the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County that Virginia Fletcher Wood’s will bequeathing money for the ‘heart fund’ was void for indefmiteness. This had the effect of giving half of the estate to seven heirs. The executor of the estate is Giles H. Miller, Jr. Gerald Baliles, acting as Attorney General for Virginia, the American Heart Association, Virginia Affiliate, Inc., and the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia each appealed that decision to the Supreme Court in Richmond. In an opinion delivered by Justice Richard H. Poff of the Virginia Supreme Court, all three appeals, were consolidated for consideration.

The PEC committee members — all hunters and two life members of the NRA — concluded that most abuses are committed by road hunters who creep along back roads at five and ten miles per hour, looking for deer to shoot from their pick-ups, season be unloaded and in a case. A similar law is in effect in next door West Virginia but PEC president Bob Dennis acknowledged that “cased gun’’ legislation would have a difficult time getting through Virginia’s General Assembly.

Mr. Dehnis hopes to get that alternative from the NR A. termined to find a solution to this problem,” said Jack Randolph, assistant executive director for the commission’s staff. Equally determined is Tommy Leggett, the southside commissioner who says he sees the problem firsthand on the roads of Halifax County. “If I have anything to say about it, we won’t let. this issue drop,” he pledged. The commission -has put out the welcome mat for citizens and rep ‘I’d like to know...why they think it’s a sport to harass people and shoot deer from their trucks.’ -Game Commissioner Tommy Leggett or loose dogs to run deer towards the roads where they wait with guns ready. As a solution, the committee members saw a need for statewide legislation. Specifically, PEC sought enactment of a law requiring that rifles and shotguns carried in vehicles on public roads during the hunting r Meanwhile, the Virginia Game Commission has reiterated its promise to deal with this unpleasant issue. Since January, when the commission first publicly acknowledged the existence of a “slob hunter” problem, its law enforcement division has been taking testimony. “We’re de resentatives from sportsmen’s groups who want to speak at its meeting on Friday, March 21, in Richmond. Bolstered by positive public sentiment, landowners who were too frightened in the past to testify have agreed to appear.

Basic authority for the Conservation Reserve is in Subtitle D of Title XII of the Act. The Conservation Reserve has the potential of removing from cultivation — for a decade or more — as many as 40 to 45 million acres of highly erodible land. The Sodbuster provisions under Subtitle B will make agricultural producers ineligible for benefits of certain USD A programs if they bring highly erodible land into cultivation, unless they do.so under a conservation system approved by the local Soil and Water Conservation District or by the Secretary of Agriculture. The Swampbuster provisions in Subtitle C will make agricultural producers ineligible for benefits of certain USD A programs if they drain wetland for the purpose of producing agriculture commodities. &appat)annocfc iittos 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 () New () Renewal () Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESSCITY___ STATE__ ZIP_ Second class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

RMS(SW) Ernest F. Clater on right Clater re-enlists RMC (SW) Ernest F. Clater, son of Mrs. Maggie Clater of Sperryville, re-enlisted in the United States Navy on January 21 for a sixyear term. Mr. Clater was promoted to chief in Spetember 1985. Chief Clater was retired from the Navy for five years before being one of the few men selected to serve aboard the USS Iowa. He had been stationed aboard that ship since March 1984 when it was recommissioned in Pascagoula, Miss. Chief Clater will spend two of his six years in St. Mawgan, England. He and his wife, Yvon, leave for England in April. February 1986 marked 30 years of service for Chief Clater. Gypsy moth actions for Shenandoah Park Gypsy moth populations in Shenandoah National Park have reached the level that management actions are needed to control these exotic pests in some of the park’s visitor use areas. Acting Park Superintendent Gerald Tays states that, “the National Park Service finds it necessary to exercise the full range of control techniques this year in order to protect these areas from severe impacts. Extremely high gypsy moth larva populations are expected thi^spring in Mathews Arm Campground, the Dickey Ridge Developed Area, and the Elkwallow Picnic An*. These areas must be treated in order to keep them open for public use and to protect area resources from high levels of tree mortality.” The park’s first Gypsy Moth Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan was approved in 1984. In 1985, several IPM strategies were used to deal with the presence of this pest. This year, according to Acting Superintendent Tays, the application of both biological and chemical pesticides is proposed to be included in the control program. Protection of Foliage and Related Resources: This entails the treatment of approximately 20 acres in the Dickey Ridge Developed Area and the Elkwallow Picnic Area with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a biological pesticide. Treatment will be done with ground spray equipment. Approximately 100 acres encompassing the Mathews Arm Campground is scheduled to be treated with Diflubenzuron (DimilinR), a chemical pesticide. Bt is not being considered for use in the campground because the expected larva population is well beyond the effective range of the product. DimilinR is the most environmentally-sound pesticide available that can be effective in this case. Reduction of Artificial Spread: The allowable length of stay in the campground may be reduced from 14 days to 2 days during critical timeperiods to reduce the risk of gypsy moth life stage being carried by the campers to uninfested areas. Campers will be required to inspect their equipment and vehicle prior to departure. All gypsy moth egg masses located will be removed. Population Monitoring: Gypsy moth population levels will be monitored each year. This information will be used to evaluate potential resource impacts and to determine what control actions will be needed. Habitat Management: Whenever possible, the developed zones in the park will be managed to reduce the preference of these areas as gypsy moth habitat. This may include the reduction of the total number of trees, their distribution in these zones, or the removal of preferred food trees and subsequent replacement with tree species that caterpillars will not feed on. The overall objective will be to reduce the likelihood of gypsy moth larva populations reaching such high numbers in the future. The park staff has also developed long-term research projects to gain a better understanding of this forest pest. In addition to research, information and educational materials will be provided to park visitors and local residents. Park interpreters will also include pertinent information about gypsy moths and their impact on the park in evening campfire programs and other appropriate park activities. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the public is invited to comment on the park’s gypsy moth management proposals. Written comments should be sent to: Superintendent, Shenandoah National Park, Route 4, Box 292, Luray, Va 22835. Letters must be received in the park prior to April 4, in order to be considered in the decision-making process. Apple crop could be heavy The frost that reduced southern Virginia’s apple crop in April, will influence the 1986 harvest too, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist Robert Marini. In addition to the frost, the 1985 harvest was reduced by the dry weather early in the spring, and by hail storms. “Then, because the growers knew it would be a small crop, they did not spray to reduce pests as much as in a normal year,” said Mr. Marini. All these factors will influence the 1986 harvest, possibly making it a very heavy crop. Apple trees will have heavy crops in alternate years because of the natural cycles. In alternate years, the nutrients go to forming the buds, and then the next year to fruit. Apple growers usually thin the buds to have annual crops of moderate sizes. “When the frost came, it thinned the crop for the growers,” said Mr. Marini. “This year it will be important for growers to work on the trees themselves to have a good crop in 1987.” “If spraying to prevent pests was not done as thoroughly in 1985, there is a potential that the pests could have remained in the orchards. The timing of the spraying will have to be accurate this spring and summer in order to control pests,” he said. This year there will be another problem for the apple growers in southwestern Virginia, he said. The 17 year cicadas, which can do severe damage to young trees, are expected to emerge. The eggs these pests will lay this year will probably damage the shoots of the trees. In addition, when larvae emerge they will go underground and continue to feed on the roots of the trees through the next 17-year cycle until emerging as adults again. ' Generally, across the nation, apple growers are expecting a good crop this year, and Virginia should be part of that said Mr. Marini. Usually there are not great price fluctuations, partially because it is possible to store apples for nearly a year in controlled atmosphere facilities. Record early sales Ann Barker, racing secretary of the Virginia Gold Cup Association, reports an unprecedented number of responses to this year’s initial mailing of 1600 previous-sponsor invitations.

Royal Ave., Front Royal 636-9209 Library Lines By DIANE WOOD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Over this past year, my little boy and I have enjoyed discovering the children’s corner of our county library. Recently, we have found that rabbit stories are just right for rainy spring naptimes. Foolish Rabbit’s Big Mistake by Rafe Martin and Ed Young (1985), is an ancient Indian Jakata tale or story of one of Buddha’s earlier “births.” Jakata stories like this one have been told for more than 2,000 years throughout Asia and are one of the great sources of Western folklore. Foolish Rabbit’s Big Mistake is probably the oldest version of the Chicken-Little or Sky Is Falling story. The tale is told by Rafe Martin in a clear, simple manner. A little rabbit is dozing beneath an apple tree when he hears a loud crash. Without investigating, he races off, shouting, “The earth is breaking up!” This causes panic among the animals of the forest. At last a calm and intelligent lion figures out the foolish rabbit’s mistake. The intelligence of the golden lion and the courage of the little rabbit in explaining his mistake show the animals that jumping to conclusions can lead to trouble. The pastel illustrations by Ed Young are large and 'vibrant with color and feeling. The pictures and words work together expressing powerful emotions that are fun to share while reading aloud. Trumpet your fear with the panicked purple elephant and roar your indignation with the golden lion! ‘The pastel illustrations...are large and vibrant with color and feeling.’ This is only one of several wonderful rabbit books in the children’s section. Others include The Easter Egg Artists by Adrienne Adams (1976). This is the story of the Abbots, a rabbit-artist family whose biggest job is decorating Easter eggs until their son, Orson, playfully discovers some bigger art projects. One of the loveliest rabbit books I’ve seen is Peter Cottontail’s Surprise by Greg Hildebrandt (1985). The paintings in this book actually glow with life as a little bunny enjoys his first day of spring, and incidentally discovers it is his birthday.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. y Editorial Joining There are certain organizations in every community that deserve widespread support. We believe that in this county the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is such a candidate. Formed about four years ago, RAAC has contributed to the cultural enrichment of Rappahannock in a number of important ways. The film series, shown every weekend, is a valuable asset not just because it is the county’s only theatre, but because it shows good, critically acclaimed films. RAAC sponsors numerous other events throughout the year including plays, literary readings, art exhibits, and musical performances. These enormously enrich this community. The organization also promotes art skills exchange with workshops in various disciplines including photography and music. RAAC’s performances and workshops have also been extended to the county’s schools. Last Friday evening Lavinia Currier, author of Heart of the Garden, spoke to the Gay Street Theatre’s sold-out audience about the film after its showing. Because of a weather problem, her plane was delayed in New York which caused the cancellation of her scheduled appearance before students at the Rappahannock County Elementary School that afternoon. RAAC director Anne Stephens is re-scheduling that appearance. This is one small, but important, example of RAAC’s commitment to serve the entire community. Because the organization has a non-profit basis, it derives some income from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. However, most of its money is generated by memberships. This money is necessary for RAAC to maintain its excellent programs. It is also necessary for important renovations to the Gay Street Theatre where the performances are held. March has been designated by the organization as its “membership drive month.” The $10 individual membership entitles you to a discount on the films * advance bulletins on the movies and a newsletter. Information about live performances, which occur about once a month, is also sent to members. Becoming a member of RAAC affords another reward, albeit less tangible. It offers members the opportunity to come together as a community for the enjoyment of programs that would not be possible without this fine organization. We urge you to call the RAAC office, at 675-3193, to receive membership information. We then ask that you join.

I—Rappahannock heritage — mmi Little Devil Stairs Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Uneducated farmer??... Poorly educated children?? To the editor: Far too often, the American fanner is drawn into various controversies for the purpose of being used as an example, and far too often that example is not a positive one. Ms. Wittl’s March 13th letter to the editor is a classic example of this deplorable situation. In her letter, Ms. Wittl references a recent national television news series on the American farmer. Based on the facts used from this “news series” by Ms.Wittl, I have decided that the reporter must have lived in New York City, never been on a farm and never met a farmer. Many of the deductions quoted from the “news series” couldn’t be farther from the truth. One obviously erroneous statement quoted from the “news series” by Ms. Wittl is: Farm families are “dying of financial ruin” because of “poor eci iomic management due to inadequate education.” To the contrary, I would suggest that farmers are among the better economic managers in Rappahannock County. This is the primary reason why most oi our local iarmers are well educated. Many have a high school diploma, and some, a college degree. Most have a generous amount of common sense (which can’t be taught). This enables them to survive difficult situations. These same situations are rarely caused by “inadequate education.” Poor economic management is the exception rather than the rule with respect to the farmer’s financial situation. The circumstances that are contributing to the situation are as follows: — The high value of the U.S. dollar has all but eliminated the American farmer from foreign export markets. — Fuel, fertilizer, chemicals, equipment and labor costs have increased tremendously in the past fifteen years. — Prices paid to the farmer for beef, pork, corn, soybeans, etc., have generally remained constant or decreased. — All of the above contribute to a supply and demand imbalance which compounds the problem. Let it suffice to say that Rappahannock’s farmers are the backbone of the county. Whenever we have a fresh, tree ripened apple or a thick T-bone steak — think about it. Neither grows in a supermarket. In each case, an American farmer played an important role in producing the food that so delightfully stimulates our taste buds. With this in mind, is our county government being responsible if it makes decisions that will inevitably tax our Rappahannock farmers into bankruptcy? Ms. Wittl asks the question: “Do we want our children to be slaves to poverty as a result of little or poor education?” I don’t consider this to be a realistic question. Lets commit the cardinal sin of answering a question with a question. Who has ascertained that Rappahannock is offering its children a “poor education”? Over the years, Rappahannock youngsters have attended institutes of higher learning to become very successful in their chosen held. Ihey have been able to compete equitably with students from larger educational systems. Perhaps they compensate for any deficiencies in the school system through hard work, dedication and determination. Dollars won’t buy these qualities. We’re fortunate that most of the young people in Rappahannock inherit these qualities. Many individuals envision a direct correlation between the quality of education and total dollars spent. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. In fact, we often approach the other end of the scale labeled diminishing return where we get less for each dollar invested. Prudence should be exercised by the county government to insure we get maximum benefits per dollar invested. In concluding, let me say I agree there are areas needing improvement in our educational system. It is not as well financed as some of our larger neighboring counties. Rappahannock’s means of gen erating additional revenue is limited. The fact is, we must live within our means. We must join the effort to address the county’s opportunities; improve our educational system, but also keep those “large, cold corporations” from buying out Rappahannock’s family farms. I am confident our supervisors will make the tough decisions to address these issues without sacrificing our farmers, the education of our children or jeopardizing the wholesome lifestyle we all enjoy in Rappahannock County. FLOYD T. GRIGSBY Castleton Wakefield thanks the Lions To the editor: On behalf of the students and faculty of Wakefield School, I would like to recognize the members of the Lions Club of Virginia in Rappahannock County who participated in the hearing and sight testing of Wakefield students. These members deserve a great deal of commendation for the time and effort which they put forth every year with these services. Although some people may not third grade student starting out his education on the right foot. We can also note that these men used their own free time to conduct these tests. When most people might be finding means of enjoying themselves in free time, these people have utilized this time to benefit school children. If all people could show the same altruistic characteristics as the Lions Club members, our world would be a substantially better place to live. realize it, even a slight deficiency of hearing or vision can be quite detrimental to one’s education. I, myself, can testify that such impairments make learning more difficult if you are not aware of your problem. However, the Lions Club members deserve credit for recognizing the importance of having perfect hearing and vision. For such deficiencies may be the difference in a second or Once again, we at Wakefield School would like to express our sincere appreciation for the time and effort you gave our students. May your efforts in the future be as successful as those in the past and present. LARRY TARR Student Body President Wakefield School Correction In last week’s edition, Fletcher King Eastham’s letter to the editor called “Will ours ever be satisfied” contained a mis-print. In the final paragraph, he stated, “We can 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.” The Rappahannock News printed “We can’t improve...” and we regret the error.

Eating light for spring The weather is getting warmer, and it won’t be long before it is time to squeeze into those skimpy swimsuits. Hopefully, you’ve been watching your calories and exercising regularly throughout the winter so it won’t be too much of a struggle. However, if too many nights of sedentary snacking have left you feeling weighted down, get back to the basics of good nutrition. Susan L. Wiley, marketing specialist, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, suggests that a basic meal plan from the four food groups will allow you to get the most nutrition for the least amount of calories. From the meat group, choose lean red meats, skinned poultry and low-fat seafoods which can be grilled and basted with a low-calorie herb salad dressing. Keep serving sizes small (about three ounces) and do not serve with heavy, rich sauces. Fresh vegetables and fruits will start flowing in to supermarktets in plentiful supplies as the spring season gets into full swing. When fresh green beans, tomatoes, spinach, green peas, spring onions, asparagus and summer squash start appearing, plan to use them daily in your light meals. Be sure to cook fresh vegetables just until tender to avoid the dull flavor and mushy texture which results from overcooking. Season vegetables with just one teaspoon butter per serving and sprinkle with dill weed or lemon juice. Fruits are the answer to a nagging sweet tooth. Enjoy fresh strawberries dolloped with one tablespoon of real sour cream, heavily laden with vanilla extract. Use the last of the season’s navel oranges peeled, sliced crosswise and marinated in apple juice that has been steeped with fresh ginger. Bing cherries, grapes, cantaloupe and fresh pineapple are simply wonderful served solo. The grain group is usually the one dieters decide to leave out completely. That’s too bad, because they are missing the best sodrce of energy-packed carbohydrates, plus B-vitamins. Half-cup servings of rice or pasta, instead of a plateful, will allow you to include these foods in a well balanced, low-calorie diet. Be sure to choose enriched cereals and breads, which are good sources of iron. The versatility of dairy products allows you to add so much variety and good taste to a sensible meal plan. Choose Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, sour cream, unflavored yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, skim and buttermilk and ice milk to create low-calorie meals that really satisfy. Like the other food groups, the serving size is the critical consideration. And, since you’re going to have this beautiful body by summer, you may want to show it off in Florida. The American Dairy Association and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is sponsoring a Virginia dairy recipe contest to be held June 20 in Roanoake. Top prize is roundtrip fare and hotel accommodations for two people for four days and three nights in Florida. For more information on how to enter the contest, write to Dairy Contest, VDACS, P.O.

Five places will be awarded to the cooking teams that display the best showmanship and the most creative booths.

Removing mildew Mildew, a thin growth produced by molds which flourish in damp, warm, poorly ventilated and dim areas, can be cleaned away, but will grow back unless the area is made uninhabitable for it. To remove mildew in the bathroom, use one-half to one cup of bleach to a gallon of water. An old toothbrush is handy for scrubbing mildewed grouting. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Liquid sanitizing cleaning products containing quaternary ammonium compounds may also be used on most bathroom surfaces. Spray and aerosol products for cleaning and sanitizing bathroom areas are also available. Use as directed on the container.

After thoroughly drying the area, sand and refinish the surface. Mildew on interior walls can be removed by cleaning with the following solution: 1/2 cup powdered household cleaner that contains trisodium phosphate (but no ammonia), 1/2 cup chlorine bleach and one gallon water. Be sure to use waterproof gloves. Rinse the surface thoroughly, because any trisodium phosphate film left on the surface will provide food for future mildew growth. March notes Plant roses and bare-root shrubs while they are still dormant, about 4 weeks before the average date of the last frost. Complete the pruning of shrubs, ornamental trees and fruit trees before growth starts, except for spring flowering shrubs. Prune those which bloom in spring as soon as they finish flowering. Repot houseplants that have grown too large for their containers. Cut back leggy plants to encourage compact growth. Root the cuttings in moist media to increase your supply of plants. Don’t plow your garden when the soil is wet. It will form clods which are difficult to break up and interfere with cultivation during the summer. Apply a liberal side dressing of 510-5 fertilizer on your asparagus bed and around your rhubard plants. Use about 4 pounds per 100 square feet and scratch it into the top 2 inches of soil. Renew the organic mulch to a depth of about 1 inch to help conserve soil moisture during the summer. Prune evergreen shrubs before growth starts. Boxwood should be pruned by thinning out the top half of the plant and cutting back the branches to retain desired height. Trees and shrubs which are making weak growth should be fertilized to stimulate more attractive development. About a month before your average last frost apply approximately 1 cup of 5-10-5 to shrubs 4-8 feet tall. Use more or less with different sized plants. On trees, apply 2 pounds of 5-10-5 for each inch diameter measured at 3 feet above the ground. Apply uniformly over root zone and water in thoroughly. Do not add lime to area for potatoes. The lower pH helps control scab. A child’s first garden should include sunflowers from seeds. The large seeds sprout quickly and dependably and the strongsqedljpgs can push their way through crusted soil. If you are shooting for record sunflowers, your plants will need to top 20 feet in height with seed head diameters of 2 feet to be in the running. Parsley is extremely rich in vitamins A and C. Start some seeds indoors now for later transplanting to a sunny corner of the vegetable garden. Houseplants can be watered more frequently with the onset of spring and new growth. Hedges can receive their first pruning this month. As you prune, be sure to leave the base of the plant wider than the top. This allows sunlight to get to the bottom of the plant, creating a full, dense hedge. You may wish to try some new, unusual vegetables in your garden this year. A few that can grow successfully in this area are bok choy, Jerusalem artichoke, kohlrabi, leeks and horseradish. To extend the asparagus harvest, remove the mulch from only half the bed at first. The sunlight will encourage these plants to sprout more quickly. In 2 or 3 weeks when shoots appear in the mulched half, carefully remove the remaining mulch. Boxwood may be moved now; do not plant them deeper than they were previously planted. Trim and fertilize established boxwood before new growth starts, but do not cultivate under boxwood since their roots are shallow and may be damaged. G«€€H* Greenhouse Books Eclectic Bookstore P.O.

The occasion honored Pastor Richards for his 20 years of service for the Lord at Black Oak. Mr. Richards became pastor at Black Oak in January, 1966. The younger people of the church took charge of the morning service which was dedicated to the pastor, singing songs and reading poems pertaining to the happy occasion. Ricky Settle sang a special selection that he and his father Jimmy had written in honor of their pastor. Ricky also served as song leader. J. B. Barnes read the scripture, acting as minister. Alex Corsaro read the offertory scripture. Ushers were Marty Settle and Richard Barnes. Prayers were offered by Marc Dodson and Timmy Webb. Katrina Thorpe composed a song, “We Love You Pastor,” which was sung by a group of the younger girls. Several of the other young people recited poems. The deacons of the church presented gifts to Pastor Richards and his wife, after which a covered dish dinner was served in the church fellowship hall. Before going to Black Oak in 1966, Elder Richards had been pastor of the Five Forks Regular Baptist and Beech Spring Regular Baptist Churches in Rappahannock County for a number of years. American Heritage program VIRGINIA CRIGLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The National Theme of the Daughters of the American Revolution for 1986 is a quote from Daniel Webster “Let our Objectives be Our Country, Our whole Country and nothing but our Country. ” A phase of this theme was incorpated in the the American Heritage program presented by Mrs. H.T.N. Graves of Luray to the members of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter NSDAR at their March 11 meeting held at the Culpeper United Methodist Church. Mrs. Edwin Grimsley and Mrs. James Harkness were hostesses. Mrs. Graves in her slide/talk presentation gave an insight as to how the people lived in the Shenandoah Valley area in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and of their many struggles and hardships.

You can skip a contribution for any year if you wish, but you cannot make up missed contributions in future years. • Pay the trustee’s fee separately and not out of your IRA funds. You can then take the fee as a miscellaneous itemized tax deduction and leave more money to grow tax-free in your retirement account. • You can’t contribute to your IRA after you reach age 70V2. But if you have a non-working spouse under 7OV2 you can make a contribution of up to $2,000 to his or her IRA. • Alimony payments are considered earned income for purposes of determining allowable IRA contributions. • Advisors sometimes suggest that you borrow money to make an IRA contribution if you don’t have the cash. Before doing so, compare the yield in your IRA and the borrowing rate. Also, give thought to whether you’ll have funds later in the year to repay the loan. If you won’t have, don’t borrow. • Using IRAs in divorce property settlement situations may be beneficial to both parties. In lieu of a larger property settlement, a husband might agree to pay an extra annual $2,000 in alimony which is tax deductible by him. The wife then puts the $2,000 into an IRA for herself, and she is not taxed on the money either until retirement. Q.

Sport First team all district Tommy Jenkins, a 6-5 center/forward senior at RCHS, was named first team all district in the Bull Run District. Joining Jenkins on the first team were David Pemault (Stonewall Jackson), Bemie Walker (Clarke County), Nick Proctor (Strasburg), and Eugene Baltimore (Manassas Park). Jenkins was also named the Northern Virginia Daily’s Athlete of the Week for February 23 — March 1. In three Bull Run District Tournament games Jenkins scored 70 points. He had 13 points and pulled down nine rebounds in a 66-64 victory over Brentsville. In the semifinals against Clarke County, Jenkins poured in 26 points to help the Panthers to a 59-58 double overtime wins. And against Manassas Park in the finals, Jenkins capped off the week with 31 points and 11 rebounds in a 71-62 loss. He was also named to Northern Virginia Daily’s High School first team. Joining Jenkins on the first team are two Handley seniors, Michael Hardware and Mario Pritchett, Warrep County junior Darrell Whitemore and Stonewall Jackson senior David Pemault. The second-best scorer in the area with a 16.8 average, Jenkins came on strong for the Panthers in the Bull Run District Tournament to lead them a a second place finish before falling in their regional opener. Jenkins hit 75 of 114 shots from the free throw line for a .658 average (19th best). Tommy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Jenkins of Sperry ville. Tommy Jenkins Wakefield sports update HELEN RUISI & LARRY TARR Rappahannock News Contributing Writers In a special assembly held this week, Wakefield Headmaster William E. Lynn was presented with the first place trophy for the school’s Junior Varsity Basketball Team. The trophy, won in the Delaney Athletic Conference Championship, was presented by team captain Brian McGushin of Haymarket. Mr. Lynn commented that it was amazing to recall where the team was only a few years ago and to see what it had be-come this season. Coach Gary Leake noted that the. team had work^ veryl^ard to earn their fifSC1place standing and noted that “the guys had the desire, hustle, and dedication necessary to be a championship team. They worked hard to perfect their offenses and gave 100 percent on defense. With a little more maturity, Wakefield can count on the excitement in the future that this team showed this season.” During the assembly, Varsity Basketball Captain David Rowzie of Amissville presented the third place trophy from the tournament to the Headmaster. David remarked, “We (the team) were inept a few years ago. Coach Leake has worked very hard, it really is his trophy, he deserves it.” Meanwhile, Wakefield’s spring sports are nearing the start of their seasons. Although many of the players on the lacrosse and tennis teams are returning from last year, both teams have new coaches this season who hope to bring some improvement to the records made by the spring sports last year. Uli Maeyer has taken over as coach of the boys’ tennis team. According to Mr. Maeyer, “Conditioning will be an important part of the season, because often what causes a defeat is the loss of conditioning which then makes,a player lose his concentration. ” In addition, Mr. Maeyer wishes to instill an aggressive style of play in his team so that each player may be constantly applying pressure to his opponents. Wakefield’s tennis team will be returning its four top seeds in John Landis of Front Royal, David Rowzie of Amissville, Hugues Steinier of Culpeper and Larry Tarr of Warrenton. Because the returning players will be experienced, Mr. Maeyer expects to have a successful record by the season’s end. However, as Mr. Maeyer stated, “It. is more important to play the game well than to r win. If the team plays well, then I will be happy.” The lacrosse team will also have a new head coach with Patrick Duffy filling the position. Coach Duffy is also very optimistic about the season, for he has several returning players including co-captains Jordan Bentley of Middleburg and Lee Poore of Washington as well as Jeff Reid of Front Royal. Jerry McDowell of Warrenton, a first year player, will assume the position of goalie. Wakefield’s lacrosse team, the Owls, will have an expanded schedule this season. An exciting match is planned as Wakefield meets a team from Beckenham, England, in the school’s first international match to be held April 1. lhe Owls will scrimmage with Western Albemarle High School this week for their first match of the season, which should, give a good indication of how the season will go. And, as Coach Duffy commented, “There is a definite sense of determination among the players to perform respectably, and I like that in my team.” 1986 wool pool It’s about that time of year again to count fleece for the Wool Pool.

Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News Math students with their projects: (l-r)Jimmy Damer—abacus, Dexter Freeman—wooden geometric shapes, Janet Brown—octagon pillow, Keith Tobin—square pyramid, and Corey Thompson—wooden box. RCHS displays math projects By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “I didn’t do it for the grade. I did it for the fun of it,” student Debbie Wood commented about her math project. Debbie is a student in Frieda Herman’s math class at Rappahannock County High School. Algebra and geometry teacher Frieda Herman discussed the educational criteria pertaining to her classes’ projects. “Their only requirement was that the project had to pertain to math in some form and they could go from there,” stated Mrs. Herman. “One of my purposes for assigning this project was to allow the students to do something of their own that would affect their six week grade instead of relying solely on tests,” Mrs. Herman added. “Another reason was I like to see where their creativity will take them.” Mrs. Herman told about some of the projects. “Some neat games were made. I had one girl who baked geometrically shaped cookies. We had some nicely done mobiles and posters.” Mrs. Herman continued, “A research report was allowed for those who didn’t feel necessarily very creative.” Mrs. Herman explained her grading criteria. “They had to show that they spent some time doing it . since it was a project. I look at it more as how it pertains to math. Did I feel that the student really researched the subject area.” “This is the second year that some of the students have done projects for me and I’ve been very pleased with their growth in their projects,” commented Mrs. Herman. “I’m very pleased wtih the creativity that the students use to fulfill the requirement that their project pertain to math. I was amazed that some of the students in class who don’t ask questions or are not outgoing really came out in their projects.” “Some adults have felt that math has been a dry subject and couldn’t see how projects would be very good,” said Mrs. Herman. “However, they’ve been amazed at some of the things that have come in as a result.” Math student Doretha Butler explained, “I’m in Mrs. Herman’s third period Algebra II class. I did a report on how Greeks contributed to mathematics and I did a poster on Greek symbols. It took me longer than I thought it would but I enjoyed it.” “I’ve always been interested in Greeks and how they contributed to the art world mostly. So I decided to research Greeks in math, too,” continued Doretha. “The only Greek in math that I knew about was Pythagoras. Now I realize that a lot of other Greeks played a big part in. math, too.” Debbie Wood added, “I made puzzle mazes that deal with geometry. Puzzles have always interested me so I thought I’d try to make some myself. I really enjoyed doing it.” Mrs. Helen LaCava’s pre-algebra, Algebra I and one eighth grade class also created projects. “Since my students are young they are likely to think that mathematics is adding up columns of figures or doing long division,” explained Mrs. LaCava. “I’d like them to start opening their eyes to the fact that that is not mathematics. I want to encourage them to start thinking early.” “Several students did models made out of wood which were very impressive. I like to use them to talk about volume and surface area. Having a model is really helpful. Several of the girls made pillows with pieced patchwork designs that were mathematical patterns,” Mrs. LaCava said. “I rewarded originality mostly, even if it was a report. I had reports done on people I never heard of,” said Mrs. LaCava. “Also, I considered what kind of effort they had put into it.” Robert Glasker, a student in Mrs. LaCava’s class, talked about his projects. “I did a report on Pythagoras. I found out that he was an exciting man and he did a whole lot for geometry,” Robert explained. “I went to the library and found information on him. It took me about four nights to do it.” “It was interesting to find out how he worked and the ideas that he came up with, like the Pythagorean Theory.” Robert concluded, “Before this report I didn’t know much about this man. Now I do!” Mrs. Herman and. Mrs. LaCava agreed that the students are the ones who put all the work into their projects. The projects are on display in the front show case of the high school. We have got but one life here .. . It pays, no matter what comes after it, to try and do things, to accomplish things in this life, and not merely to have a soft and pleasant time. — Theodore Roosevelt Wakefield holds third Science Fair By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 exhibited almost 200 projects as Wakefield held its third annual Science Fair this week. Meera Maheswaran, a senior from Charles Town, W. Va., received the award for “Best in Fair” for her project and research paper entitled “Fetal Development in Humans.” Maheswaran’s extensive research and thorough knowledge of her subject earned her a perfect score from the show’s judges. Hers was the first project in the fair’s history to earn this distinction. The six divisions of the Science Fair were juried by eight judges, each an authority in his field. The panel included Brooke Hutt, an engineer with Melpar E. Systems; Merlin Larimer, a chemist with Atlantic Research Corporation; Dr. Richard Macon, the chief scientist at the FBI; Dr. William Mayberry',. DDS; James Monahan, a biology professor at NOVA; Dr. Glen Paule-Carres, a clinical psychologist; Dr. Jean Steinier, a physicist, and Dr. Suter, DDS. The panel of judges evaluated the 170 individual entries from the prep school students on the basis of seven criteria drawn up by Arthur Zoebelein, chairman of Wakefield’s Science Department. Students were judged primarily on their understanding of and ability to explain their project as well as any procedures involved. Additionally, points were awarded for the presentation of the material, level of difficulty, and originality. First, second and third places and honorable mentions were awarded in each category. In Behavioral Science, Jerry McDowell, a sophomore from Warrenton, was awarded first prize for his research into subliminal persuasion. The Biology division of the fair, because of the large number of entries, was divided into four groups. First place ribbons in this division went to Maheswaran, Wes Irvin, an eighth grader from Edinburg, for his project on diabetes; Annie Dunning, a junior from Boyce, for her research on Alz-heimers Disease; and sophomore Jillian Wemmer of Front Royal for her display on the effects of fertilizer, water, and soil on the germination and growth of bean seedlings. Lou Brown, an eighth grader from Stephens City, won first place in Chemistry for his display and research into how composites are made. Tom Rust, a sophomore from Flint Hill, took first place in Earth/Space Science category for his work on local weather forecasting. Rust wrote a computer program in basic which tried to determine weather patterns. In the Engineering and Technology Division, the first place ribbon went to Adrian Filipi, a junior from Broad Run, for his computer speech synthesizer. Sean Miller, a freshman from Woodstock, won first place in the Physics Division for his research and experimentation with the period of a pendulum. Charles McGlothlin, chairman of Wakefield’s Math Department and physics instructor, commented that he was impressed by the number of projects in the Physics Division that relied on original research. Zoebelein, who is responsible for organizing the Science Fair each year, said that he was pleased with the results of the students’ hard work. He added that as students gain experience in preparing for the annual event, their projects become more sophisticated and this in turn improves the overall quality of the fair. Zoebelein admitted that preparing for the event involved a great deal of work, both for him and for the students. It is obviously work that is enjoyed, however, as he is already planning changes and improvements for next year’s Science Fair. Wakefield student awarded Virginia Scholars Scholarship By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Tara Welty, a senior at Wakefield, has received one of only 45 scholarships to be awarded by the Virginia Scholars Program. Tara, the daughter of Diane Welty and the late Frederick Welty of Washington, was notified recently of the $12,000 scholarship offer. The Virginia Scholars Program (VSP) was created in 1983 to foster academic excellence and to retain outstanding youth in Virginia through awards based on both scholarship and achievement. VSP scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to Virginia students who enroll in a four-year Virginia college or university. Applications for the VSP are evaluated by a screening committee which selects 100 finalists, who are then judged by an award selection committee chaired by a member of the State Council of Higher Education. Tara, who will be the first 12year student to be graduated from Tara Welty Wakefield, has also been named a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship competition, and is the recipient of the DAR Good Citizens Award. School Past and future Gifted/Talented plans By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer ‘TOP” (Training, Opportunities, Programs) priorities have been accomplished in gifted programs at the Rappahannock County Elementary Sehool. Teacher in-services conducted by Tee Garrison of Mary Baldwin College and Robert Estabrook, Division Superintendent, have been provided for the teachers. Teachers have attended faculty meetings with community resource people, such as Laurie Marshall, Tim Kilby, Dawn Fisher and Lyt Wood. Ms. Pamela Rowe, Gifted/Talented Coordinator, presented a session bn “Teaching Styles.” A gradute level class entitled ‘Teaching the Gifted” taught by Janice Szabos from James Madison University was offered last year. Two gifted/talented committees were developed, a screening committee and a division committee which is responsible for the GIT Journal, quarterly newspaper. Students had the opportunity to participate in field trips, 1984-85 summer programs, poetry workshops, a dance workshop, and project FACT. Project FACT (Faculty And Community Together) was a workshop conducted last fall for RCES gifted students. Mrs. Piper indicated a hope to provide another FACT workshop later in the spring. Parents viewed a slide show about Project FACT. The slides were taken by Sean Kilpatrick. The students were shown enjoying Jr. Great Books, computers, art, drama, math activities, critical thinking activities, and others. Future plans for the gifted/talented program include a 1986 summer program, computer camp, and a gifted program at Lord Fairfax Community College. In April gifted students will have the opportunity to receive instruction from an artist-in-residence. Most recently, a workshop was offered to gifted students in grades three through seven in Madison County. Rappahannock public schools absorbed the cost arid transportation. Students could select from a variety of sessions ranging from computers and brain busters to candy making and sharks. Mrs. Piper and several teachers accompanied participating gifted students to Madison on March 15 for this workshop. Mrs. Piper realized the need for a similar workshop for first and second graders. Therefore, a workshop is being planned in Rappahannock to meet that need. Mrs. Piper told the parents that she felt a real need for a parent organization for the gifted/talented. She' said, “The SPTA, which is an excellent organization, is not the place for planning for the gifted/talented or for expressing ideas about the gifted and talented program.” Several questions about the organization were asked by parents. Mrs. Piper’s replies strongly encouraged the formation of such a group. Parent Vicki Eastham is gathering names of any parents of gifted children from the elementary or high school who are interested in formulating a parents’ group. If your child has been identified as gifted and talented and you would like to become a member contact Vicki Eastham by calling 937-5108. Ms. Rowe stated, “I hope a parents’ group can be formed. I believe it would be a real asset to the schools.” Wakefield holds Medieval Festival By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield held its third annual Medieval Banquet this week in celebration of Candlemas, a traditional festival dating from the Middle Ages. Mrs. Pamela Lynn, who directed the evening’s festivities, originated the idea of the festival as a means of bringing alive the study of medieval history. With the help of her students, she transformed the school’s auditorium into a medieval banquet hall. Students in grades 3-11 arrived Elementary school jumps for heart Rappahannock County Elementary School’s Jump Rope for Heart will have a different twist to it this year. Rappahannock Elementary and the American Heart Association’s Rappahannock Unit have joined forces to make the event run more smoothly this year. The biggest change is that the children will not be collecting money. The process will work as follows: At the time a child receives a pledge, they will give the donor an envelope and instruction sheet, so that the donation may be mailed in. The children collect the pledges to compete for prizes so it is asked that people mail in their donation as soon as possible. The jump teams have always jumped the whole time. The children will not be allowed to handle the money this year. The funds raised by the Jump Rope for Heart are used for community programs, such as Heart Health Education For the Young, the Save A Sweet Heart Program, and the High Blood Pressure Speaker Series. The Jump for Heart has always been a success and we hope that it will continue this year. It is a fun way to promote good cardiovascular fitness while at the same time raising funds for the community. in traditional costumes ranging from pages and squires to clerics and ladies of the court. Prizes were awarded at each grade level for the best costumes. Terri Tarr and Matthew' Tucker, both of Warrenton, presided over the evening as king and queen. It is a Wakefield tradition that the students with the highest grade point average reign for the evening. During the first part of the festivities students participated in traditional medieval sporting events. Jousting took place with younger students riding on the shoulders of older students posing as horses, a test of strength was found on the balance beam as students attempted to unseat each other with the aid of a staff, and others practiced their skill tossing a bean-bag at a court clown. Other activities included fortune telling by the resident gypsy and face painting, always a popular attraction for younger students. The culmination of the evening’s activities was the banquet itself. Tables were filled with traditional meat pies, fruits, breads and desserts. A 20-pound roast had been cooked on a spit outdoors during the school day and was presented to the waiting crowd while Headmaster William E. Lynn offered the blessing in Latin.

SHERRY WEAKLEY’S POEM is one of the nation’s winners Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News Weakley wins Young Writers Contest By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Sherry Weakley, 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Weakley of Sperryville, was a winner in the 1985-86 Young Writers Contest. She attends Rappahannock County Elementary School. Sherry’s winning entry will be published in April in “The Rainbow Collection: Stories and Poetry by Young People,” along with 106 other winning poems and stories. Nearly 8,000 entries were received from students in all 50 states, Guam and Puerto Rico. Five winners were from Virginia. USA Today published a list of the winners in its March 4 edition. Kathie Janger, who has a foundation background, and creative writing teacher Joan Korenblit are founders of the contest. They felt the need to encourage creative writing. They began this contest with the hope that it would become a good outlet for young creative writers. “I believe it is important to write every day,” said Ms. Korenblit. “Writing should become as natural as reading and math.” The second annual Young Writers Contest was open to students enrolled in grades one through eight of an elementary or junior high school. JPoetry, short stories, or essays of no more than 500 words were accepted for competition. Entries were judged on the basis of grade level. The specific judging criteria were grammar and content. According to Ms. Korenblit, co-editor of “The Rainbow Collection,” preliminary judges reviewed the 8,000 entries and chose the top 500. Then literary specialists and the final judges chose the 107 entries to be published. Judges were members of the Lord Fairfax scholarships available Lord Fairfax Community College and its Board of Directors announces the availability of 24 Presidential and College Board scholarships to be awarded for the 1986-87 academic year. The scholarships, which will be awarded to incoming Freshmen from the college service region, are based on high school grade point average, letter of recommendation, list of extra curricular activities, and student statements.

Mrs. George Bush and author/composer Steve Allen are members of the board but were unable to judge this year. In the 1984-85 edition of “The Rainbow Collection” Steve Allen wrote, “By simply encouraging children to write, by taking a warm interest in what they produce, by rewarding the best work that such programs lead to, the Young Writers Contest Foundation takes an important step on a journey that must be begun if we are not to drift further into illiteracy and ignorance.” Winner Sherry Weakley is in Mrs. Lucy Maeyer’s sixth grade English class. Mrs. Maeyer said, “A parent, Mary O’Meara, saw the an nouncement of the contest in the Washington Post and she sent it to our principal, Mrs. Piper. Mrs. Piper made the information available to the teachers and that’s how I found out about it.” Mrs. Maeyer also submitted entries from Justin Ferrence, Stacy Sheetz, and Michele Early. Each student received a letter of thanks from the foundation for taking part in the contest. Sherry’s poem “Real World” was not difficult for her to write. “I wasn’t feeling good. I was depressed and I just started writing. It just came to me,” she said.

After three years at John Lyle’s Ben Venue Farm, the race will move to a new location this year that officials hope will attract a greater variety of entries and give foxhunters and non-thoroughbreds a better chance of winning. The race’s new location will be Natalie Emery’s Emery Hall, located just past the hunt’s old kennels on Rt. 620 near Sperryville. “The idea of an old-fashioned is for foxhunters to figure out the territory,” said race organizer Peter Weslow. “If the race is run in the same place all the time there’s no challenge. The new course offers more chances and opportunities for more horses than in the past where speed horses had the advantage.” The new course is flagged around Mason Mountain and competitors will have to go around four flags in this race, instead of the single flag at the old course. Competitors must round each flag, but can go whichever way they choose to get to the flags. They will have the choice of going around the mountain past all four flags or making two loops over the mountain to round the flags. “The longer route is around the mountain,” said Mr. Weslow. “The Mar. 22 Mar. 22-23 Mar. 22 Mar. 23 Mar. 26-30 Mar. 29 Mar. 29 Mar. 29 Apr. 5 Apr. 6 Apr. 12 Apr. 12 Piedmont Fox Hounds Point-to-Point & Hunter Pace, Salem Farm, Upperville Dressage Show.

The short course is over the mountain both ways which should give the foxhunters and tougher types of horse a better chance of winning.” The course is between three and and three and a half miles, according to Mr. Weslow. Terrain varies from fields and pastures at the base of Mason Mountain to woodland on the sides and top of the mountain. Competitors will also have to cross the Thornton River twice, whichever route they pick. Also new this year for Rappahannock’s old-fashioned are a couple of extra winners’ categories. Besides the usual winners trophy and a trophy for the first member of the opposite sex to the winner to finish, this year the hunt will also give trophies for the first heavyweight rider, weighing over 190 pounds with tack, to finish and the first junior rider (under 16 years old) to finish. There will be an organized walk around the course March 19 at 3 p.m. Competitors are free to walk and explore the course on their own at any time, however, said Mr. Weslow. Entries are $10. Entries close at 11 a.m. on Sunday and the race will start at 11:30 a.m. For more information call (703) 533-0055, or 4715108. WHV WAIT FOR WEEKS?

The Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority, at a meeting on March 6,1986, adopted, by resolution, a preliminary schedule fixing and classifying such rates, fees and charges. The proposed schedule of rates, fees and charges is as follows: SECTION VII - SEWER RENTALS AND CHARGES Sewer rentals and charges are imposed upon and shall be collected from the Owner of each Improved Property which shall be connected to and/or served by the Sewer System, for use of the Sewer System, whether such use shall be direct or indirect, and for services rendered by this Authority in connection therewith, which sewer rentals and charges shall be payable at the times and in the amounts as provided in this Resolution, in accordance with the following schedule of rates and classifications: A. RESIDENTIAL Each private Dwelling Unit - $154.20 per annum, payable at the rate of $38.55 per quarterly billing period. Each dwelling Unit in a double house, in a row of connecting houses, in an apartment building or in any other multiple dwelling shall be billed as a separate entity. If two (2) or more families use separate cooking and/or toilet facilities in an Improved Property, the sewer rental and charge payable hereunder shall be computed as though each such family was a separate user with a separate connection to a Sewer; B. NON-RESIDENTIAL (Commercial, Industrial, Clubrooms, Taverns, Fire Houses, Professional Offices, Hotels, Restaurants, Churches, Service Stations, Garages, Barber Shops, Funeral Homes, Beauty Shops, Dry Cleaners, Laundromats, Schools, Institutions, Hospitals, Public Buildings, Etc.) 1. Each Owner of a non-residential Improved Property which shall be connected to and/or served by the Sewer System shall pay sewer rentals and charges, except as hereinafter provided, of $38.55 per quarterly billing period, per equivalent Dwelling Unit, on the basis of equivalent Dwelling Units, as set forth in the following classification or schedule: Equivalent Category Dwelling Unlt(s) (a) Each hotel or motel, per 2 rental rooms or fraction thereof 1 (b) Each restaurant, club or tavern, per 20 seats or fraction thereof 2 per each additional 20 seats or fraction thereof 1 (c) Each church, fire company or municipal building 1 with Social Hall 1 y2 (d) Each retail service station, automobile repair shop or garage, 2 bays or less 3 Each additional bay, over 2 1 (e) Each repair shop or garage without retail sales 1 y2 (f) Each barber or beauty shop, not attached to the residence of the Owner, 2 chairs or less 1 y2 Each additional 2 chairs or less y2 (g) Each laundromat, per washer 1 (h) Each funeral home 3 (i) Each Owner-Occupied retail store With fewer than 3 employees 1 Each additional 3 employees or fraction thereof - 1 G) Each retail store With 3 employees or fewer 2 For each additional 3 employees or fraction thereof 1 If over 3 employees, then in addition to the above each 20 front feet or fraction thereof of store 1 (k) Other Commercial or Industrial Establishments 10 or less employees 2 Each add'l 10 employees or fraction thereof 1 If shower facilities are provided 5 or less employees 2 Each additional 5 employees or fraction thereof 1 (l) Each school, public or private, having: (1) Toilet facilities only, per 25 pupils or fraction thereof 1 (2) Toilet facilities and cafeteria, per 20 pupils or fraction thereof 1 (3) Toilet facilities and gymnasium, per 20 pupils or fraction thereof 1 (4) Toilet facilities, cafeteria and gymnasium, per 15 pupils or fraction thereof 1 (m) Each car wash, manual or automatic 1 bay 2 Each additional bay 1 2. If two (2) or more private Dwelling Units, stores, offices, industrial units, etc. are connected to the Sewer System through a single lateral, or if two (2) or more types of use are made of the same Improved Property, the sewer rentals and charges payable hereunder shall be computed as though each such Dwelling Unit, store, office, industrial unit, etc. and each such type of use were a separate Improved Property or user with a separate connection to a Sewer; 3. Sewer rentals and charges for schools payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the average number of pupils enrolled during the regular school term preceding the applicable quarterly billing period. Employees, which shall include teachers and administrative and supervisory personnel, shall be treated as “pupils" for purposes of such computation; 4. Sewer rentals and charges for businesses or industrial units payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the average number of employees (including individual owners and employers) for the quarter immediately preceding the applicable quarterly billing period; and 5. If the Owner of any non-residential Improved Property (including any school) shall fail to provide this Authority with complete information required to compute the sewer rental and charge to such non-residential Improved Property, this Authority may estimate a reasonable applicable sewer rental and charge for such non-residential Improved Property and such estimated sewer rental and charge shall be the actual sewer rental and charge payable until the required information is filed; provided, however, that no rebates will be paid by this Authority if the information filed reveals a lower indicated sewer and charge than that estimated by this Authority; C. Surcharges for Industrial Wastes discharged to the Sewer System are referred to in Section IV. D. There is imposed upon each owner of each property connecting to the Sewer System a one time connection charge for each connection made to such Sewer System; The Authority shall not utilize monies collected under this paragraph for the purpose of defraying operation and maintenance costs of the Sewer System. E. The sewer rentals and charges imposed herein shall be reviewed annually as required by the Environmental Protection Agency, and revised, if necessary, to insure adequate funds are available for operation and maintenance. SECTION VIII - TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT A. All bills for sewer rentals and charges, shall be rendered quarterly, on the first business day of each quarter or on such other date in each quarter sis this Authority, by resolution, shall specify, and shall cover a quarterly billing period consisting of the immediately preceding complete calender quarter. All bills for sewer rentals and charges which shall be based on estimates of this Authority shall be rendered for each quarterly period promptly after the estimates are made. Each Owner of an Improved Property which shall be connected to the Sewer System during any quarter shall pay a pro rata sewer rental and charge for service for the balance of the quarter and shall be billed in conjunction with the next regular quarter billing or by a special billing, as this Authority may determine. Upon advance application, made upon forms to be provided by this Authority, sewer rentals and charges, in the discretion of this Authority, may be abated pro rata during any period of sixty (60) or more consecutive days during which an Improved Property connected to the Sewer System shall be vacant; B. Sewer rentals and charges shall be due and payable upon the applicable billing date as provided for in subsection A of this Section and the appropriate amount, computed in accordance with this Resolution, shall constitute the net bill. If sewer rentals and charges are not paid within thirty (30) calendar days after each billing date, an additional sum of twelve per centum (12%) shall be added to such net bill, which net bill plus such additional sum, shall constitute the gross bill. Payment made or mailed and postmarked on or before the last day of such thirty (30) calender day period shall not be deemed to be delinquent; and C. Each Owner of an Improved Property which is connected to the Sewer System initially shall provide this Authority with and thereafter shall keep this Authority advised of his correct address. Failure of any Person to receive any bill for sewer rentals and charges shall not be considered an excuse for non-payment, nor shall such failure result in an extension of the period of time during which the net bill shall be payable. SECTION IX - LIENS FOR SEWER RENTALS; FILING AND COLLECTION OF LIENS Sewer rentals and charges imposed by this resolution shall be a lien on the Improved Property connected to and/or served by the Sewer System; and any such sewer rentals and charges which are delinquent shall be filed as a lien against the Improved Property so connected to and served by the Sewer System, which lien shall be filed in the office of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County, Washington, Virginia, as provided for in Section 15.1 -1263 of the Code of Virginia. This notice is being published once a week for two (2) successive weeks in the RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, a newspaper having a general circulation in the County of Rappahannock, Virginia, at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of the above described hearing. A copy of this Notice is being mailed to the Clerk of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. Upon adoption of this schedule, with appropriate modifications, if any, a copy of the same will be filed in the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County.

She said it 20 times. Bloodmobile Continued from page 1 Warrenton and to Vint Hill this fiscal year, plus a special Bloodmobile at Fauquier High School, Mr. Borjes points out, so for the chapter to reach its assigned quota of 1300 units requires the cooperation of every eligible donor. Up to this point, the community has contributed 759 units. Any person in normal health who is more than 17 years of age may donate blood, and must wait only two months between donations. So anyone who contributed when the Bloodmobile was last at the fire house, in January, is eligible to give again. On that occasion, the chapter collected more than 100 units. Community World Hunger project organized As one response to domestic and international hunger some concerned individuals in Rappahannock who wanted to do more to connect with the plight of the world’s hungry formed a community garden project two years ago. The produce from the garden is sold locally with all the proceeds forwarded to a relief organization. The world produce is distributed at the County Nutrition Site for the elderly.

Beach The play included students from Mrs. Candy Lamma’s third grade class and Ms. Debbie Borrow’s kindergarten class. “For several years we both taught kindergarten. We had such a good working relationship that when I moved to third grade we still wanted to work together,” explained Mrs. Lamma. “Last year was our first year to have the third graders and kindergarteners working together,” she said. “It has worked out so well that we’ve made it a tradition.” “We got the play from a book in the library. The students helped with the costumes and scenery,” Mrs. Lamma added. “Mrs. Judy Bomberger taped the music for us and we practiced it in our rooms until the last several weeks. Then Mrs. Bomberger practiced with us on stage. We practiced the play for about a month.” “The children were so excited about it. My third graders felt a sense of worth when they could help the kindergarteners,” Mrs. Lamma concluded. “My students from last ‘Slob hunter’ Continued from page 1 slob hunters can share the forum. “I’d really like to hear from one of those rednecks,” he said. “I’d like to know why they do what they do; why they think it’s a sport to harass people and shoot deer from their trucks; and why they think they should be able to go on doing it!” Dear Friends, Blessings in Jesus Name, w v 11,1 ■* | NUGGETS OF TRUTH £ By REV.

This will £ probably take several weeks so if you will 2 keep each one until we finish, it will make £ more sense to you. 0 I was born in Pittsburg, Pa. in 1930, in y the so called “ghettos" and raised until £ eleven years old in a foster home, very 0 poor, we got our food at a commodity y house, but we were proud, clean people. £ Most of the neighborhood was black but 2 nobody knew hate, we all loved each y other. £ At eleven my mother moved me to Va., 2 and at thirteen yrs. old, I went out on my y own! I met Sally, my wife, at twelve yrs. 0 old. Then when I turned seventeen on the 2 17th of July it wouldn't be long before Sally y and I were to be married, and we were 0 married on the 1st day of August in 1947. 2 We have been happy all of these 381/2 yrs. £ We have three children; first girl 36 0 yrs , Pam; boy 33 yrs., Alan; and our 9 youngest girl 25 yrs., Bobbi Taylor (By the £ way we have been blessed with a great 2 son-in-law, Bill Taylor, Associate Pastor at 9 * 9 FW.C.) Like most people our early years were very poor, but the last twenty two or three y have been good. We had been in the £ horse business for many years and did 2 very well at it. y Although we did not know Christ per£ sonally we tried to live a Godly life. At age 2 43 & 44 I had a lot of illness and depres£ sion and I knew something was missing in 0 our lives. I had a lot of people tell me 2 through the years that I should go to £ church, but I watched their lives and knew 0 I did not want that, for most all of them y were Sunday morning Christians. But £ praise God, He sent a man by my path that 0 really had the love of God coming from y him. he lived the life.
