Students follow in footsteps of Nobel winners S uperconductor experiment recreated at RCHS By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer In 1987, Alex Muller and Georg Bednorz were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work with superconductivity. And in 1988, teacher Brion Patterson and a cadre of Rappahannock County High School physics students made their own superconductor. It’s an achievement equaled by few big schools serving affluent urban and suburban communities with state-of-theart science labs. Little rural schools like Rappahannock (which got water and gas in its science labs only with the capital outlay project now underway) rarely even try projects of such scope. Superconductivity, discovered in 1911 by Dutch Scientist Kamerlingh Onnes, is the ability to conduct an electric current with no energy loss, thus allowing the same current to circulate forever. By comparison, Mr. Patterson noted, power companies lose 20 to 30 percent of their energy during conduction, depending upon the electrical circuit. While Onnes discovered superconductors 77 years ago, his discovery had little practical application since the conductors required temperatures of minus 453 degrees Fahrenheit. The breakthrough came in January 1986, when Bednorz and Mullen (IBM Zurich) achieved superconductivity at minus 396 degrees, earning themselves that Nobel Prize. In a frenzy of international scientific competition, the threshold has been raised to minus 300 degrees just in the past few months. So Rappahannock High School finds itself in an unusual spot: right on the cutting edge. “It’s exciting for students to be able to work on something that everyone is reading about,” the physics teacher said, crediting Richard Tribino, a 1987 RCHS graduate who is majoring in science at George Mason University, with the idea for the experiment. Following several weeks of planning and research, the work began on Dec. 28, when Mr. Patterson and his junior researchers gave up Christmas vacation and gathered early at the high school. They measured exact proportions of barium nitrate, copper oxide and yttrium oxide, ground and mixed the chemicals thoroughly and then heated the mixture in the shop’s kiln until 11 p.m. that night. In four-hour shifts, the kids monitored the kiln’s temperature, which had to be maintained at 1,650 degrees. The next morning, Mr. Patterson News photo/C mdy Mahan SUCCESS! Physics students Daniel Cremers (left) and David Fisher stare, transfixed, at the tiny magnet suspended above their class's superconductor.

Heather Kilpatrick, Daniel Kremers, David Fisher, Tony Clark, Richard Tribino (front), Angie Armentrout, Butch Foster and teacher Brion Patterson. packed the chemicals and the kids into a van and drove to George Mason University in Fairfax where Dr. Douglas Mose was to press the mixture into tablets. But the doctor was out and so the experiment went on the back Bunsen burner until this Tuesday when Richard Trebino returned to classes at George Mason and returned the chemicals to Dr. Mose. Twenty thousand pounds of pressure per square inch later, four little disks, measuring about 1/2 inch across and 1/4 inch thick, came back on Friday morning to the RCHS shop’s kiln where they were baked, again at 1,650 degrees, until 2 a.m Saturday. Then came the final crucial step. The fragile pellets had to be cooled at the rate of 100 degrees an hour for five to six hours, fed constantly with a light breeze of oxygen during the cooling process. At 8:30 a.m. it was time for the test. In a special container (provided by Ray Cannon) with liquid nitrogen (donated by Edward Armentrout), the pellets were cooled to minus 320 degrees. See SUPERCONDUCTOR, p. 12 Washington Cash Store landmark may become new county Health Department, 3 apartments By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The lot at. the corner of Calvert Street and Main has been a stage where the town of Washington’s history played. It was the site of the Free Town Meeting House in the early 1800s. It was the new county of Rappahannock’s first courthouse in 1833 and 18-34, rented for the princely sum of $25 per year. The old frame building became a doctor’s office and Mr. Shyrock’s store before it was torn down in 1904 to make way for William Stuart’s General Merchandise Store and Stuart’s Bank, the last private bank in the United States. Then in 1946, the lot was bought by C. FT Giles and the business was rechristened the Washington Cash Store, operated first by the senior Giles and since 1973 by his son, C. E. (Skippy) Giles Jr. Now, the Washington (Town Council ia proposing to rezone the west* side of Main Street from Calvert Street to Middle Street, clearing the way for Mr. Giles to turn the Cash Store into Offices for the county Health Department downstairs and three apartments upstairs. Mr. Giles asked the council last week for rul ■f ing on the potential utilization of the building, which is classified as a non-conforming use in the village residential category under the town zoning ordinance adopted last year. “I’d like to get an answer as soon as I can,” said Mr. Giles, adding that the Health Department’s lease on its current office space in the Clopton House expires in June. “If you could give it to me tonight, that would be great,” he said, explaining that the store’s inventory would have to be sold before remodeling could begin. He noted that a precedent exists for use of the building as offices, since the Cash Store maintained its own office downstairs until 14 , years ago and still uses the upstairs for that purpose today. Eugene Full, the Health Department’s regional administrative manager, said his agency has “negotiated some” with Mr. Giles but that terms of a lease can’t be finalized without an estimate on remodeling costs. “But we are prepared to go forward.” The department’s Clopton House offices, with just 1,170 square feet, are “totally inadequate . . . That’s the reason we’re looking to relocate,” he said, reporting that the downstairs of the Cash Store measures 1,800 square feet. Mr. Giles added that he’d checked with John McCarthy, the county’s zoning administrator who also serves in that capacity for the town, “and he says it’s up to the council to interpret the new zoning ordinance” and determine if the office would be allowed under the “grandfather" clause which permits any legally existing use at the time an ordinance is adopted to continue. To questions from the council members, Mr. Full confirmed that the septic system now in place is adequate to handle both the two upstairs apartments and the downstairs office. “1 think the village has a critical need for apartments,” responded Nan Thomason. “Not only that, but this council made Skippy a promise and we need to honor that,” said Evelyn Willis. “I think the .town would miss your store a lot,” she told Mr. Giles, “but we do need apartments badly.” “There are ways to accomplish what Skippy is asking for,” town attorney Frank Reynolds affirmed. “But do you want to hear what you want to hear, or do you want to hear what the law is?” he asked the council. As to any promises made to Mr. Giles when the new ordinance was adopted and he was denSee COUNCIL p. 12 Maintenance woes plague both schools ,>J£ids, teachers, aides, administrators, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers had a two-week vacation at Christmas but .not the repair and maintenance workers who service Rappahannock’s two public schools. ‘Twas the season to have breakdowns, according to Supertendent David Gangel’s report at last week’s School Board meeting. First the discharge valve at the school’s sewage lagoon wouldn’t open, backing waste water up almost to the overflow point. “It would have been a nasty job to try to go below the surface, so we had it pumj>ed first,” Dr. Gangel said, adding that the problem had been corrected. Then the heating system at the elementary school wasn’t working properly. Nine of 13 thermostats checked so far are inoperable, “so there's no way we can control the heat in this building,” he said, adding that explains why teachers are opening windows in over-heated classrooms. Also, out of 14 heating system valves examined to date, four are faulty, Dr. Gangel added. Humidity in the pneumatic lines is blamed for fouling the controls, h£ told the School Board. The final count- on the thermostats which must be replaced is not yet in, but at $200 a thermostat, “it’s going to be expensive,” the superintendent warned. “There’s no money in this year’s budget for the work, but at least we’ll know how much we’ll need to allocate in next year’s.” Moving down the repair list, he reported that the booster for the hot water heater in the RCES cafeteria had gone out and had to be replaced. “I question the fiscal wisdom of waiting to fix the thermostats,” interjected Bill Oliver. “If teachers are opening windows in this weather, we’re burning extra fuel.” “I’d loyp to do it right away, but you haven’t heard everything yet! We’re down to $1,000 in discretionary funds (for maintenance work). I ' don’t think that’s going to do it,” Dr. Gangel said. “Yes, I see the necessity, and I’ll be as creative as I can, but I don’t think we have the money (to replace thermostats).” “I think it would be worthwhile See SCHOOL BOARD, p. 12 Trapezoid’s swan song ai Gay Street Theater To everything there is a season. Turn, turn, turn . . . That Bible verse woven into song by Pete Seeger could have been written for Trapezoid. Since 1975, when Paul Reisler pulled together a hammered dulcimer quartet to demonstrate the range of his favorite instrument and borrowed a name from its unusual shape, TrapeV zoid has taken turn after musical turn in continual evolution. One of the group’s longest turns will end at Washington’s Gay Street Theater Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. when Reisler, Lorraine Duisit, Michael Aharon, and Frevda , Epstein perform together for the last time as Trapezoid. “Everyone wants to know why the foursome is breaking up, but the real question is what kept us together for so long,” said Reisler, answering the now familiar inquiry one more time. But if the marriage has ended, the divorce has been amicable. “We all still get along. We’re all still friends,” Reisler emphasized. “Lorraine wanted to move on ana ao more witn ner husband. That’s certainly understandable.” With Duisit leaving to perform with Tom Espinola, and taking her lilting, soaring soprano and her mandola, harp, guitar, and bowed psaltery, and with Aharon leaving for Philadelphia with his cello, bass, and keyboards, the band first decided to disband. “I thought a lot about letting it go," recalled Trapezoid's founder. "But people kept telling me that the group had taken its music so far, why not just keep on going?” The sound of the new Trapezoid at its first concert two months from now in Boston will be different from what the audience will hear at the foursome’s farewell performance at the Gay Street Theater, according to Reisler. “But Trapezoid was never a collection of personalities or a particular style. We had an approach to ways of making music as opposed to a specific kind of music. -We’d search the song. We’d search for what it meant to us. We’d find a unique and very personal way to do it. The Gay Street finale to a decade of musical marriage is not intended as a reprise. “We’re going to play the songs we’re doing now, not the songs we did 10 years ago,” Reisler said, and stopped, remembering that the concert is a goodbye to the past, and for a band, the past is music. “Who knows?” he added, grinning. “We’ll just have to wait and see.” * / Tickets for the Trapezoid concert, which is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, are available at the Culpeper Music Center in Culpeper, Picture This Gallery in Warrenton, Burke's Store in Woodville and the Village Cafe in Washington.

on Fange Tool Co. reinvents the hammer By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Sewn Staff Writer There’s an old saying that anyone who builds a better mousetrap will find the world beating a path to his ploor. Apparently, the same is true ./f hammers. V Cabinetmaker Tom Von Fange of Woodville, already well-known for his handcrafted farm-style fumilure, has designed that better hamjner, and keeping up with the orders . “has become a full-time job for me. I hardly have time to get out into the shop any more,” he said. He motioned to the comer of the living n>om, where next to a Christmas tree stood a desk piled w ith invoices. ^Un the other side of the desk was a stack of boxes, ready to be picked up l»y UPS. «. The hammer itself is eyecatching .-7- a polished golden head sitting •](atop a smoothly finished hickory , shaft. The head looks like solid gold, but it's actually a beryllium and copPpr alloy, with small amounts of sev‘.pral other metals w'hich strengthen if ,as w ell. “The beauty of gold, the strength of steel,” he says, and adds that, on a hardness scale, the hamliyer is twice as hard as brass and i^ites at least as hard as conventional _ steel hammers. It has caught the eye of more than craftsmen; the Smithsonian Institution will include the hammer in an exhibit this spring, and one will soon ,be on display at the Mariner’s Museum in Newport News. Although sales of the hammer have skyrocketed since it was first introduced last year, like most un<*hriventional ideas there were years of work and thought behind it. The story actually begins when Mr. Von Fange was a eft liege student at Old Dominion University. His hobby was rummaging through flea markets and antique stores for old tools, and one day the elderly proprietor of one store showed him what looked like a brass-headed claw hammer. Mr. Von Fange was fascinated, but the njan told him the hammer was not for sale. Determined to find one of the unusual hammers, the young craftsman kept looking. While at a rummage sale in/ Norfolk, he was asked what he was looking for. After describing the hammer, the man told him, “Meet me at the corner of Granby St. at 3 p.m. — and bring something to trade. ( “It was like a scene from a spy mp_vie,” Mr. Von Fange said, recalling the picture. “Here I was standing on a street comer, holding a torque wrench, wondering whether this guy who 1 didn’t know would show up, and whether if he did he would have what I was looking for." The man showed, carrying a tarnished hut unmistakably brass-colored hammer head identical to the one Mr. V’on Fange had seen in the antique store. ' The happy student rushed back to (>I)1T. made a handle for the head and began using the hammer. After graduating from ODU. Mr. V/»h Fange married and moved to H/ippahannock County, where he taught industrial afts at the high school. “I used the hammer all the WINTER CLEARANCE" SALE 25% Off Ticketed Price Now Taking Spring Consignments [ids-Go-Round, yjl) West Culpeper Street, Culpeper, Va. 825-5373 f Building? * Paint •Lumber •Millwork •Hardware q j Complete One-Step 5 BUILDING SUPPLY iWARRENTON BUILDING t MATERIAL CO., INC. jon the by-pass, Warrenton x 347-1400 ■■ifc - —Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1V Tue* , 1 p m Every Month Mile East Of Marsha'* Rt 55 364-1566 _ Rappahanmxrk News photo/Lou Hatter THE OLD AND THE NEW.

Except for the sheen on the new hammer, it is identical to the 50-year-old original he holds in his other hand. time. It seemed to hit nicer than steel. There was always competition among the students in the shop over who would use my hammer.” He never lost his fascination with the hammer, and decided to see if he could trace its history. Through a die-stamp on the head, he was able to locate the company, which had been sold three times since it manufactured the hammer during World War II. The hammer was originally designed, he discovered, to build crates in ammunition yards. The alloy used for the head was non-sparking, making it safe to use around explosives. Mr. Von Fange decided that he would like to re-market the hammer, since it was superior to any hammer he had ever used. He contacted the company and found they still had the original mold for the head, which had been stored since the end of the war. He asked the company to experiment with different alloys which would provide the feel he had found so distinctive while still retaining the strength to pull nails with the claw. The original alloy was patented by a German firm, but after casting heads made with a number of other alloys, Mr.'Von P’ange found one he was^satisfied with. However, after some thought, he decided that the German alloy was still superior to the one he had concocted. “I still have my patent papers," he said. The hammer, a ld-ounce head made with the German berylliumcopper aljbv, was an instant success. rather than rough carpentry,” he said. “It’s a fine tool made for fine work.” He actually improved on the company’s original design by turping the face on a metal lathe to put a slight bevel on the face. That makes the face almost flat, giving a larger striking surface so the head is less likely to slip off the nail. That’s important in finish carpentry, he said, where one mis-strike could mar the* surface of the work. Research, he said, proved that the alloy actually absorbs some of the shock of striking nails, making it easier on the hands and arms to use all day, every day. The hickory shaft also absorbs shock, unlike the fiberglass and composite handles found on most modern hammers he added. The hammer was introduced at a for woodworkers H&R BLOCK Do your taxes now!

This can make a lot of sense, especially in a location where there may be more homes for sale at affordable prices than there are good apartment rentals. You may end up with more room, at less cost per month. You will certainly acquire a big tax benefit by deducting your half of the mortgage interest from your taxable income, not to mention the expected increase in value when it corhes time to sell. In contrast to owning, the only one who builds up equity when you rerit is the landlord and the only money renters can deduct is after-tax dollars from their checkbook. The major caution to consider when buying a home with a partner is the uncertainty of the future. You should draw up a contract between the two of you as to what happens if one or the other wishes to move out or sell. Then your future bases will be^gvered.

Fine Homebuilding magazine saw' the hammer and featured an article on it. “I sold over 200 hammers in 30 days, and I’m still getting letters.” So he decided to pull out all the stops and took out a full-color ad, which shows the beautiful golden hammer to its best advantage. He has now sold more than 3,000 hammers. His customers offered suggestions for improvements, among them a lighter model. So now there’s a 12 oz. model of the “Cabinetmaker’s Hammer.” And Mr. Von Fange found that the same characteristics which made the hammer perfect for cabinetmaking fit the needs of boatbuilders as well. The alloy doesn't corrode, an asset in moist or salty environments. The shock-absorbing ability of the alloy means that soft copper and bronze nails can be driven more easily with less bending. And no sparks from the head allows it to be safely used around flammable marine fuels, paints and varnishes. Part of the hammer’s success rests on Mr. Von t* ange s marketing strategy. Rather than target craftsmen exclusively, an admittedly small market, he decided to accent its appeal as a gift. “Men won’t spend that much on themselves, but it’s a perfect, functional gift for someone else to buy for them for birthdays. Father’s Day or Christmas.” Apparently, he’s not the only one who thinks so. In December, in its pre-Christmas “Home” section, the Washington Post called the hammer “a striking gift.” He called the editor of a trade magazine, Gifluxire News, telling him that he had a great new gift idea for men. “I built it up, but never told him what it was. I said, ‘I’ll mail you one —- you tell me what you think’. ” The editor called back as soon as he received the hammer, telling Mr. Von Fange “it’s the greatest gift idea for men I’ve ever seen.” He said he often gives the gift idea samples he receives to his secretaries, “but none of them is getting this hammer.” The magazine plans an article about the hammer later this year. So, instead of trying to market the hammer in hardware stores and tool catalogues (aitnougn several catalogues do carry it), Mr^ Von Fange. has placed his hammers in such diverse locations as Leggett’s department store, CountryManor’s mail order catalogue, Farrar’s Men’s Shop in Warrenton, The Journeyman’s Leather in Middleburg, W. S'. Jenks and Sons in Washington, D. C., and The Iron Jockey in Middleburg. He’s particularly excited about The Iron Jockey, explaining that it sells primarily women’s clothing, although there’s a small men’s shop in the back. “Imagine, selling a hammer in a dress shop.” And he’s got more ideas for marketing. Several companies have approached him about using the hammer as a corporate gift, an award given to outstanding employSee HAMMER, p. 12 1 hursday.

Disregarding style, vocabulary, meter, rhythm, etc., Mr. Kilpatrick did say that the first rule of writing is to have something to say. That I can manage, to wit, an update on the impending visit of 10 Russian citizens to Rappahannock County. The Center for Soviet-American Dialogue, which is sponsoring the visit of the 100 Soviet citizens to the Citizens’ Summit, to be held in Washington, D. C., Feb. 1-5, reported that clearance has been granted to 10 of the visitors to spend time in Rappahannock County prior to the summit. The group will arrive by Aeroflot on Tuesday, Jan. 26. Instead of coming directly to Rappahannock, the visitors will be given a one-dav orientation in Washington on Wednesday. A caravan will bring the 10 Soviet visitors to Rappahannock County on Thursday. Hosts should arrange their schedules so they are available during the day. On Thursday evening, Jan. 28. a community covered-dish supper will be held at the Washington Fire Hall at, 6:30 p.m. Nels Parson is coordinating that event, and requests that reservations to attend the dinner be made with him. The fire hall can accommodate approximately 100 people. He will also oversee the menu to assure a varied and delicious meal. Mr. Parsons can be reached at 6753122. There will be a nominal charge to cover the costs of drinks and clean-up services. Thursday, if time allows, we would like to tour Chris Parrish's farm on Rt. 729. Mr. Parrish served as a Russian translator in the l1. S. Army and could give detailed explanations to the visitors in their native tongue. v Also on the list of possibilities Thursday is a trip to Front Royal for the weekly livestock auction. If time doesn’t permit, the group may opt for a tour of the Giant supermarket in Warrenton on its way out to the county. Friday morning, the visitors are invited to an assembly of fifth, sixth and seventh graders at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. After the assembly they will have lunch at the school and visit several classrooms. Hosts should plan to have their overnight guests at KCHS by 1<>:30 a.m. The visit will be finished by 12:30 p.m. Arthur Neufeld. a teacher at the elementary school, suggested the assembly and is coordinating the school visit. Friday evening. Jan. 20. the Village Cafe in Washington will have a Russian dinner. The public is invited. Reservations may be made by calling the Cafe at 07-V3!S77. Following dinner, beginnning at 8:30 p.m., there will he a citizens’ (Hasmist at the Cafe, moderated by Dr. Denise Horton. Refreshments will be available during this informal question and answer session. Saturday is planned as an open, day for the hosts to take their individual guests sightseeing or for other activities. The Russians may have their own ideas, or perhaps Monticello. Skyline Drive, or other nearby attractions are possibilities. Sid and Margaret Cottleib have invited the 'visitors for a swim at their home in Boston. Va. Saturday evening there will be private dinner parties hosted by Bill and Mitzie Young, Frank and Daphne Hutchinson and Charles Russell. We are not able to assign guests to host families because we do not know what the requirements of the Russians may be. For example, one visitor per family may not be acceptable to the Soviet officials who are coordinating the v isit. At this time we have no information about the names, ages, gender or interests of our guests; only that 10 Russians will indeed be visiting ^Rappahannock. The Center' for Soviet-American Dialogue is apologetic for being so vague, and we expect more information by next week. The host families who have so generously offered their homes, their time hospitality are aware that they must be on stand-by and that they will be contacted as soon as we have more information. In fact, were happy to say that there have been more offers of hosts than there are guests available.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 21.198* Editorials On the cutting edge Over Christmas vacation, the Rappahannock County High School physics class gave up its free time to participate in an unusdal learning experience: duplicating the experiment which led to the awarding of a Nobel Prize to two physicists in 1987. • The experience was unusual because the opportunity to participate in science so near the limits of knowledge is not often given to high school students. They’re usually confined to the dissection of frogs and easily repeatable, hard to botch chemistry exercises where the teacher, and most of the students, already know what the outcome will be before the experiment begins. That’effine for classroom exercises. But it’s not the way. science advances. As several of the students observed, they weren’t sure whether their experiment with superconductors would work or not. The group spent anxious hours watching critical steps of the process — the temperatures had to be maintained within narrow limits — no, mean feat for students fighting off sleep while working with equipment jury-rigged for the purpose. But the students’ perseverance paid off; their tiny demonstration superconductor performed flawlessly. For their efforts, we congratulate the physics class, RCHS alumnus Richard Tribino, their teacher, Brion Patterson, and the Rappahannock residents who donated some of the materials the students needed for the experiment. The students learned a valuable lesson in that physics experiment, but they takejwith them more than the experience of fabricating the superconductor. They leameS\^ that first-class, custom-made equipment is not always necessary to scientific advancement; that sometimes donated supplies — adapted to suit the use — work just as well, even if they don’t look the part. And they learned that one key to the advancement of knowledge, whether in science or any other field, is to be willing to risk failure. If nothing is risked, often nothing is gained. This time the physics class succeeded. Another time, they may not. Actually, after the initial success, they tried several other experiments, one of which was a failure. But they realize that lessons can be learned from failure, and we have no doubt that they will take the experience and apply it to the next attempt, and continue until they do succeed. That’s what the search for knowledge really requires. A sense of America In another week, a group of Soviet citizens will arrive in the United States for a “Citizens’ Summit” in Washington, D. (1 As part of their trip, some of the group will be visiting Rappahannock County. Two weeks ago, in these pages, Sandra CartwrightBrown asked for volunteers to help host the visitors. The t response from the community has been overwhelming. K As of Tuesday, Mrs. Cartwright-Brown said that she ’ may, in fact, have more volunteers than she can use. Because Soviet officials are reluctant to commit to ficm plans until the last possible minute, the itinerary for the visitors remains only general. She’s still not received names or any information about just who the participants will be. But the volunteers insisted that’s no problem; they’re flexible. By coming to Rappahannock, the Soviet visitors will be seeing a slice of real America: a community which, time and time again, in good times as well as bad, pulls together to help its neighbors. This time the occasion is a happy one; a glasnost of ordinary people as opposed to the media circus which dominated the Washington summit in December. Most of the Russian visitors have probably seen America though the eyes Wlheir government, and through the cameras of the news correspondents covering the recent summit. During their visit, they will have a first-hand opportunity to gather impressions of America, and to tell their family and friends when they return to Russia. It seems appropriate that, in this attempt to bring understanding to the ordinary people of two vastly different cultures, that Rappahannock County is a part of the effort. Through their own eyes, and through their experiences here, the Soviet visitors will be seeing a slice of the real America — a community which takes great pride in its heritage, and which cares deeply about its neighbors.

I would like to know how any responsible adults would come onto someone else’s property, with A question of influence By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer If you are a registered voter in Rappahannock County, or if you register by Feb. 6 when primary » registration closes, you can vote March 8 in what has come to be known as the “Super Tuesday” presidential primary. Eight Southern states, including Virginia, have decided to hold their primaries on this early date, the thinking being that it will increase the influence of the Southern states in the parties’ selection of a presi dential candidate. Both Republican and Democratic primaries will be held. The primary will be what is known as “closed,” meaning that each voter must select either a Republican or Democratic ballot. That choice, however, does not have to be tied to either the voter’s party affiliation or his voting intent in the general election in November. In other words, voters with Republican affiliation may vote for Democratic candidates, and vice versa. As a Democrat, each voter can influence the presidential candidate selection process by voting in the primary because all the party-certified candidates will be on the ballot. At later party caucuses and conven tions the delegates from Virginia to the Democratic National Convention will be elected. Those delegates will choose the party’s candidate for the general election at the national convention this summer. The number of national convention delegates fron. 'Virginia pledged to any candidate will depend on the number of votes each receives in the March 8 primary. Virginia will send 86 delegates and 25 alternates to the Democratic National Convention. In one way or another, 75 of the 85 will be pledged to specific candidates according to the proportion of votes each receives in the primary. However, to qualify for any delegates, each candidate must receive at least 15 percent of the Super Tuesday primary vote in each congressional district (Rappahannock is in the Seventh Congressional District) or in the state as a whole. Forty-nine of the state’s delegates will be chosen at the congressional district , conventions, scheduled for May, and the rest will be chosen at the state convention which will be held in June. Both the size of the vote and the trends which‘the voters indicate in terms of their primary choices are important to the presidential candidates. It has been assumed by many political experts that the primary vote in Virginia will be small. This is due to two interrelated factors: the traditional reluctance of the state’s voters to express a party preference, and the requirement that primary voters request either a Republican or Democratic ballot. Contrary to the belief of many voters, citizens register to vote in Virginia without any indication of party preference. Because registration is open in Virginia, without that indication of party affiliation, the parties generally do business in caucuses and conventions to shut out non-party members from participation and possibly skewing the delegate selection process. It will be interesting to see if on Super Tuesday large numbers of people here decide that having a say on who our next president might be is important enough to overcome their reluctance — at least at this stage in the process — to make a choice between the two parties.

' Castleton Concerns of his own To the editor: I recently applied for a special use permit to construct a three-unit single family, attached dwelling project located in Blue Ridge Mountain Estates at Chester Gap. When the Planning Commission met, I learned that only single family dwellings could be built in the subdivision, so the next day I withdrew my application. During the meeting, several people who own property in the subdivision spoke against*my application, which I saw no problem with. However, I now have some questions of my own for these individuals. One of the people, Art Town, who is currently the secretary of the subdivision, had a concern that my permit did not meet the covenants and restrictions of the deed. So, Mr. Town, if you desire the buildings in the subdivision to meet these covenants and restrictions, then you need to inspect several buildings that do not meet the covenants. This includes the building on your property that does not haVe two coats of paint and is not 14 feet by 18 feet. This is stated in the covenants and restrictions and since yeu are the secretary, it is something you should be aware of. i Also, Dr. Krebser expressed fiis concern about a great deal of building in Rappahannock County. lje said that if it continued then eventually we would have to build a new elementary school. Well, Dr. Krebser, aren’t you adding to this concern of yours by building the various apartments and houses in Rappahannock County? JAMES A. WILLIAMS Sft. Chester Gap 'j

Op-Ed Budget pie: A taste for all By ANDY GUEST State Delegate The budget Message delivered by the Governor this week had something for alniost everybody - something like a pizza with all the toppings, giving a little taste for everyone. The tab at the door of the legislature, for the moment at least, is a whopping $22.5 billion - the largest two-year spending bill ever introduced in Virginia. Increases in education and human services appropriations are the big ticket requests during the 198890 biannual budget cycle, with more money going to localities for Basic Aid to Education, teachers salaries, boosting the state’s share of medicaid payments for the elderly, and increased funding for mental health and local drug programs, among others. While the Governor maintains there will be no new tax increases to pay for all the items on his wish list over the next two years, on closer examination I foresee some problems. For example, he has recommended that we rely on revenues from the lottery to pay for future state construction projects. This puts these plans at the mercy of an unpredictable source of funding and, more importantly, allows for increased spending in other on-going h- ■ ■ Del. Andy Guest (R-31) represents Rappahannock County in the Virginia House of Delegates. Since 1986 he has also served as the House Minority Leader. programs or even new proposals. This latter phenomenon will no doubt expand the base of operation of the programs and guarantee everincreasing demands for future funding. In years past the surplus from one biennium was the funding source for the next biennium’s construction programs. The forced constraints necessary under this system is not altogether bad business. Another item in the budget is a five percent increase in state employees salaries. While they may very well deserve a salary increase, I have heard from many state employees who say they’d rather have their health insurance paid for after they retire. We all know how costly this can be, but continuation on the state program would be cheaper in the long run for Virginia, and a fitting reward for past services. Now that we know how the Governor wants to spend the taxpayers’ money for the next two years, it’s up to us in the legislature to examine these proposals and determine which ones will benefit the citizens of the Commonwealth the most. Throughout the next eight weeks I will continue to keep you informed on these and other legislative activities as they occur.

The behind the scenes tug-of-war among the Democrats for committee assignments and chairmanships created tensions and ill feelings that have been apparent on the floor of the Senate.

The little mining town was intent on building a church building. Good lumber was hard to come by, so they used whatever scrap lumber they could find. Each month the mining company shipped in supplies, usually crated in scrap lumber. This they used (or many parts of the building. When they finally finished their little church, they noticed that over the entry door, on a piece of lumber from a box of dynamite, were the stenciled words: "Dangerous Explosives." Most appropriate! That's what church is. That's the power it possesses. I| is interesting to note that the New Testament word for "power" comes from the Greek word "dunamis," the same word from which we get our English word "dynamite.” Worship this Sunday. Experience the “power," the explosive power that can lift you into the orbit of God's will for your life.

Souffles are elegant and delicious SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics The souffle has long been a dish that set cooks apart. It gives an elegant touch to any form of entertainment. Souffles are ideal as appetizers, side dishes, desserts or as a meal in itself. Classical souffles are based on a simple bechamel (or white) sauce. To this basic sauce sweet ingredients can be added for desserts, savory ingredients for appetizers or main dishes, together with egg yolks and stiffly beaten egg whites. Eggs are the key to successful souffle baking. The yolk of the egg acts as a thickener as well as a binder. When stiffly beaten, the white of the egg traps tiny air bubbles which expand during the baking process, combining with the other ingredients to create the puffed crown that is the sign of the perfect souffle. The perfect souffle comes out of the oven puffed high above its dish in a golden crown that is crisp on the outside and soft at the center. It wust be served at once since it will fall as it begins to cool. Egg whites need to be at room temperature before beating for maximum volume. Remember it is easier to separate egg yolks from whites when eggs are cold. The sauce mixture needs to be gently folded into the stiffly beaten egg whites, lifting up and over in high strokes, so as to maintain egg white volume and ensure a light airy souffle. The mixture needs to be poured at once into a souffle dish. There seems to be some controversy as to whether to grease the souffle dish or not. Follow the directions of the recipe being used - if it calls for the dish to be greased, do so; if it does not call for the dish to be greased, leave it ungreased. For best results, souffles need to be baked in a slow or moderately slow oven, paying particular attention to the oven temperature and time indicated in recipe. Constant heat and no drafts are musts for successful souffle baking. Avoid opening oven doors to observe the progress unless absolutely necessary. If you must open the door, close it gently, not with a bang. Souffles may or may not be baked with a co^ar. To achieve a dramatic effect without the use of a collar, run a spoon around the top of the unbaked souffle approximately one inch from the outer edge, making a “trench" about one inch deep. As the souffle bakes, the center will rise, forming a “top hat" effect. Cheese Souffle 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons margarine 1/4 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/16 teaspoon paprika 1/16 teaspoon soda 1/4 pound sharp processed cheese, chopped 4 eggs Scald milk in small saucepan.

By resolution, the council directed the Planning Commission to consider an amendment to the Compehensive Plan and the rezoning of lots 16, 16A, 17 and 17A from village residential to mixed use, asking for a recommendation within 30 days and setting a joint public hearing on the dual proposal for Feb. 10, the next council meeting. School Board Continued from Page 1 asking the supervisors for money to do something like that,” Nancy Reeve maintained. “That would be the smart thing,” the superintendent agreed. Mr. Oliver seconded Mrs. Reeve’s suggestion. “If we talk about it for two months, the heating season will be over.” Dr. Gangel went back to his repair list to show further why the maintenance line item is down to $1,000. “At the high school, we’ve had quite a problem with the water pressure continually dropping.” The cause had proved difficult to determine, “but we identified a potential problem area when steam starting shooting out of the wall in the shop.” However, during repairs to the heating system, it was discovered that the boiler itself had improper safety equipment, said the superintendent. That made it necessary to replace a low water cut-off valve, the final item on the maintenance update. Superconductor Continued from Page 1 ~N.

S. is racing Japan to find more affordable, feasible uses. Already, they’re used in the atomic accelerator’s supercolliders and in nuclear magnetic imagery equipment for hospitals, according to Mr. Patterson. “And they have a future in computers, in elec RAY T CANNON CO..

Many people won't invite Jesus into their hearts, though they believe in God and that Jesus is the , Son of God, and the Savior of the ■ world. They don’t invite him in be- 1 cause they think they will loose their \ freedom, and all the things that they < enjoy doing. These kind of people ! and maybe you are one of them, , they picture God as a kill joy, or a 1 God who doesn’t want us to have j fun or enjoy life. Nothing could be i further from the truth. Jesus said in John 10:10 i have come that ye might have life, and have it more abundantly, also in John 8:32, Jesus again said, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The real truth of the matter is, that God is not a kill joy, He is our joy and He gives us peace, and love and contentment and purpose in life that we can’t find anywhere else, or through anything else. We really don’t know what living is all about, until we spend our days in fellowship with God and his son Jesus. iWAMkUAhilliUiUiMii In 1 John 1:3 it says that our fellowship is with the Father and his son Jesus Christ, then verse 4 says, and these things write we unto you that your joy might be full. I want to encourage all of you who read this article, to consider these things I have said, for they are the truth, because God’s word is truth, I pray that you realize that a life apart from Christ, is an empty life, with no purpose of direction, but life with Christ is full and rich and fulfilling, as we follow Him and his word. Make that decision today to surrender your life to Him, so that He can give his life to you. If you desire help call me at 987-8014, or come to one of our church services at "Family Worship Center" on Mt. Salem Ave., Washington, VA in the old school building. Service times 10:30 a.m. Sunday mornings and 7:00 Wednesday nights.

Gifted 7th grade SATs oixieen waxeneld Yth graders, a record number for the school, have qualified to participate in this year’s Johns Hopkins Talent Search Program, a nationwide effort to identify those early students who are specially gifted in mathematical and verbal skills. The 7th graders in the program will take the SATs of the College Board Examinations this Saturday, three-hour tests that are normally not taken by students until their junior and senior years. For those 7th graders who score above the national average for college-bound seniors, there are special prizes and awards, including scholarships to summer programs run by Johns Hopkins University. To qualify for participation in the Talent Se^rph, 7th graders must have previously scored in the 90th or above percentile on an approved standardized achievement test such as the SRA orERB. Wakefield headmaster William Lynn said that the 16 students who will take the SATs on Saturday are highly motivated to do well. “For optimal performance, they need \(o fee\^6th self-confident and keenly competitive.” Wakefield's headmaster added that since SATs and other standardized tests play such an important part in a child’s future, it is essential for students to learn early how to succeed on such tests. The participating 7th graders include Courtney Beeton, Alison Brandt, Brian Eichenseer, Sarah Grady, Kristen Hanisch, Denis Houyoux, Katrina Lindholm, Tim Mahoney, Ben Martin, Rachel Monahan, Bobby Nelson, Nathan Rice, Jessica Rich, Stephanie Scott, Cynthia Shaw and Stephanie Tomeden.
