Construction begins at landfill site Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter WORK ON THE ACCESS road to the county’s new landfill has begun. Last week, pipe was laid which will direct a stream underneath the roadway leading to the public access area. Here, a bulldozer smooths the area where the pipe will be laid. Though tax rate is up, it’s still low After a month and a half of budget work on appropriation requests that total more than $6.5 million, Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors has trimmed about $55,600 from the expenditures originally proposed. With the local real estate levy advertised at 52 cents for 1988-89, they are banking on being able to cut the rate to 50 cents after bids on landfill construction are opened this Friday. After the bid opening, they will meet with engineer Leonard Joyce to get a closer estimate on operational costs for the new county-owned facility to be opened later this summer on the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville. But at 50 cents or 52 cents, Rappahannock’s real estate rate looks like a bargain compared to what appears likely in surrounding counties. The new' assessment which takes effect this year raises the total worth of property here by 48.6 percent. Adjusted for the new values, a levy of 50 cents represents an increase of 6.3 percent while 52 cents works out to a jump of 10.6 percent over the current rate. By comparison, landowners in Orange County, which is also implementing a new assessment, have a proposed tax rate of 60 cents, a 25 percent increase from the present “equalized” rate of 48 cents. If budgets are approved as proposed in Fauquier County, the levy will vault by 38 to 40 percent. There, the school budget alone calls for 26 cents more on the present rate of 72 cents per $100 of assessed worth. Like Orange arid Rappahannock, Culpeper County puts new land values on the books this year. Culpeper’s 1987 rate was 61 cents; equalized for the new assessment, that same rate would be 50 cents. See TAX RATE, p' 16 New welfare position survives budget reductions “Mr. Estes’ first question is always, ‘How much more do you want than you got last year?’, so I’ll start off with that,” said Sylvia Kreitler, prefacing her budget explanation to the Board of Supervisors at last Thursday’s work session. “Last year 1 asked you for roughly $7(>,000 (in local money). This year, I’m asking vou for around $82,000.”' That represents an increase of 7.8 percent in Rappahannock’s contribution for social services, the department’s director said. The welfare budget, including administration and public assistance, totals $525,558, which is a 9.2 percent raise over the current year. The various programs available through the Social Services office are financed differently: some are federally funded in entirety; some are split among federal, state, and local governments; some are divided between state and local governments. Rappahan nock’s share —whether the cost is allotted among state, federal and local or between state and local — ranges from a high of 37 percent to a low of 20 percent, j depending upon the program. This apportionment is an annual headache to the supervisors who try to review the proposed spending plan. Every year, the director of the Social Services Department warns of the “ripple effect”: should the supervisors trim the local share, they will also be reducing federal and state support. Sometimes, reductions have unexpected consequences. Last year, for instance, the board reduced the county’s allocation by about $3,000, which represented 20 percent of the cost in salary and benefits for an.additional social worker’s position. The new position was | dropped, but subsequently, Mrs. Kreitler came back i for a supplemental appropriation of $(>-,000 to cover the “ripples” from the initial $3,000 reduction. That same position is in the welfare department’s 1988-89 budget. “It will cost you more than $3,(XX) to take the social worker out. It did last year,” Mrs. Kreitler reminded the supervisors. And to further complicate matters, the county’s full share of mandated programs must be funded. For instance, if the supervisors were to cut the proposed budget for foster care and the funds were exhausted before the demand was met, then the Social Services director would come back for a supplemental appropriation, and the Board of Supervisors would have no option but to allocate the additional local dollars. Chairman Hubert Gilkey explained. “It seems to me that what this budget boils down to is whether we’re going to approve another position for you," said Supervisor Mike Massie. "I would like to have another social worker. We See BUDGET, p. 16 Board must fill two School Board seats; Massie would serve, Reeve declines reappointment The terms of the School Board members from Jackson and Piedmont Districts will expire on June 30, and the county’s Board of Supervisors will accept nominations for those seats at a public hearing which will be held in June. According to state law, the hearing must precede the actual appoint_ ments by seven days, and the names of those appointed to the board must be considered at the hearing. The 2; only legal qualification for School Board members is that they must be 2- residents of the districts which they 2. represent. ; Prospective board members are < asked to contact either Supervisor < Charles Estes in Piedmont District 2-, or Ellis Bingham in Jackson. Beverly Massie, the incumbent in Jackson, is a candidate for reappointment; Nancy Reeve from Piedmont is not. “I very much want to see the capital outlay project at the high school completed,” said Mrs. Massie, a lbyear veteran on Rappahannock’s School Board. “I’ve worked on it since 1972! Plus we have other business coming up that I’m very interested in and want to help find the best alternatives for the education of our children.” Specifically, she cited consideration of a seven-period dayand adoption of the recently mandated family life curriculum. “Both are controversial,” she ackowledged. But with the ever expanding list of required courses, stu dents have progressively less opportunity for electives, and to give them the option of following particular interests, a longer school day may be the only choice, Mrs. Massie said. As to the family life curriculum, “Rappahannock must follow the state mandate, but I want to make sure we also follow the feelings of the parents in the county as much as possible.” An active partner in her family’s farming operation, Mrs. Massie has served on the School Board since 1972 w hen she w as appointed to finish Ralph Rowzie's unexpired term. She has been the board’s chairman since 1977 and also serves as Rappahannock’s representative on the board of Piedmont Vocational Tech» _ nical Center in Culpeper. She is an outspoken booster of the regional school which serves Culpeper, Madison, Orange,and Rappahannock. “When I came on the board, Rappahannock hadn’t been sending students to Piedmont for a number of years. I’ve seen a lot of changes and great improvement and progress. I know that some don’t think we should send children out of the county, or they object to the time spent for the bus ride. But Piedmont offers so much in technical education that, financially, we can never provide here.” However, taking advantage of Piedmont’s diversity doesn’t mean See SCHOOL BOARD, p. 16 f Investigator finds ‘story and trail pretty cold’ otaii uiau^co anu a ucai in ui iciuiub nave -. stymied the investigation into what prompted k the reclassification of the water system serving P Rappahannock Lakes subdivision. L; In 1979, Rappahannock Lakes had a commuI nity water system — one that serves 25 people k at least 60 days of the year or has at least 15 service connections. As such, the water was re/jUjiiired to be tested by the Health Department Jonce a month. In the fall of 1979, when tests • l showed fecal coliform in the water carried to the 28 residences on the system, the department’s ’ ’ Division of Water Programs in Culpeper ordered k a suspect spring downhill from a septic field disk connected and the primary well dug 60 feet k deeper and a new pressure switch installed. Eleven years later, attention was again fok cused on the subdivision’s water system when, k as a condition for variances to sideyard and k frontyard setback distances sought by a prospec uve 101 owner, uappanannocks Board of Zoning Appeals required reassurance from the Health Department that the private well on the property met current standards. The ungrouted well is located 65 feet from the septic drainfield. And while the Health Department does not currently approve private wells as such, its regulations require that a new septic field be at least 100 feet from an ungrouted well or a minimum of 50 feet from a grouted well. At a meeting two weeks ago with members of the BZA, local sanitarian Jack Lockhart maintained that since the Health Department had previously approved a public water system for Rappahannock Lakes, he had no authority to approve any wells in the area and would not do so as long as the approval stood. That meant no reassurances on the private well and therefore, no variance. But according to Hugn kggoorne, regional supervising engineer for community water systems, the Division of Water Programs was apparently advised prior to his assuming his post in 1980 that Rappahannock Lakes no longer met the definition of a community water system. Although the records do not show who reached that decision, when and on what basis, the Health Department stopped taking water samples in February 1979. Assigned by Mr. Eggborne to investigate the matter, engineer Joe Burner said in a telephone interview this Monday that the staff members who worked with community water systems in 1979 are no longer with the Culpeper office. As to the Rappahannock Lakes file in the Health Department’s records, it does not show See WATER SYSTEM, p. 16 McCarthy is named county administrator Following an executive session at the close of last Thursday's budget meeting. the Rappahannock supervisors voted unanimously to create the position of county administrator and named .John McCarthy to the post, effective July 1, at an annual salary of $32,000. Mr. McCarthy is a 1986 graduate of the University of Virginia with a master’s degree in planning and a former planning technician with the Albemarle County Planning Department. He has been Rappahannock’s zoning administrator and administrative assistant to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors since June 15, 1986. The dual job paid $27,500, which makes the salary for county administrator a 16.3 percent increase over what Mr. McCarthy is currently receiving. As county administrator, he will continue handling the duties of zoning administrator under the terms of his proposed contract with the county. The contract extends for two years with a third option year, and requires that Mr. McCarthy make his residence in Rappahannock within two years. Currently, he lives with his family on a farm near Warrenton. ■ It was generally recognized •that as administrative assistant, Mr. McCarthy was on trial and in training to be county administrator. For the past two years, he has essentially performed the duties of a county administrator as outlined in the Virginia Code. John McCarthy ine line is recognition, he said, adding that the primary change will be that he now has general authority to speak on be half of the Board of Supervisors. Two-year training period marked by critical decisions Mr. McCarthy's on-the-job training has been nothing if not eventful. After years of delaying action on a county-owned landfill, the supervisors were faced with an emergency when the permit on the existing privately-owned and operated landfill expired and neighboring counties rejected Rappahannock’s petitions to share their solid waste disposal facilities.

News of Record Dean given jail term for violating CDI conditions General District Court Judge Charles Foley sentenced Johnny Ray Dean. 19, of Manassas, to 191 days in jail on Tuesday. The sentence was meted out after a hearing on violations of Dean's agreement with the Community Diversions Incentives program. Dean and a co-defendant pleaded guilty in December 1987 to the vandalism of 13 mailboxes in the Ben Venue Castleton area. They w ere sentenced to 15 days in jail on each of 13 counts of destruction of private property. Judge Foley suspended 191 days of the 195-day jail term on condition that the two each perform 6(i hours of community service and pay costs and restitution. On Tuesday. Dear, was back after being charged with failure to appear for a previous hearing date, contempt of court and violation of his CDI contract by failing to perform his community service. Susan Bishton. the CDI counselor. told Judge Foley that after appearing at four scheduled office appointments. Dean had missed all other scheduled visits. In addition, she said, one of the notations in her records indicated that she had appeared in court for a hearing but he had not shown up. Ms. Bishton said that Dean had been credited with performing only two of his 60 hours of community service after he lost a log which recorded 12 additional hours worked at the New Baltimore recycling center. Keeping the log was his responsibility. she added. And. Ms. Bishton testified. Dean violated another term of his agreement when he moved from Fauquier to Prince William County without notifying her office. In response to a question from Judge Foley. Ms. Bishton said that Dean promised several times to make payments towards his $455 in court costs and $132.50 restitution for the damaged mailboxes. However. her phone calls to the court revealed that no payments were ever made. Taking the stand in his own defense. Dean said that he was unemployed for several months earlier this year, and had just begun work as a carpenter's helper in Manassas two and a half weeks ago. He said that he could borrow money from his employer, with whom he is nowstaying. to pay the costs and restitution. He told Judge Foley that his license had been suspended for nonpayment of fines in Fairfax County and that "I take a big chance every time I drive my car.” Asked by Mr. Luke why he had not appeared in court on April 12, Dean replied that he had an accident in Manassas on his way to Rappahannock. In return for the other driver not calling the police, he said, he agreed to pay for the damage. Dean said he explained the situation when General District Court Clerk Pat Davis called him the next morning to ask him why he had not appeared. Mr. Luke questioned Dean’s many excuses, asking why he had not called the court right after the accident. Dean replied that he could not afford the cost of the long distance phone calls. Dean said that he had made one effort to pay a portion of the costs, but came to Rappahannock on Super Tuesday, March 8. and all the county offices were closed. "What happened to the money?" Mr. Luke asked. “I blew it. I have a lot of bills,” Dean replied. Dean explained that he had been unemployed after having difficulties with his family, and that he could not perform his community service or visit Ms. Bishton's office because he had no transportation to and from New Baltimore and Warrenton. “I was taking a big chance to be driving suspended." he said. "Did you tell Ms. Bishton about your problems?" Mr. Luke inquired. "No sir, I was embarrassed,” Dean replied. L ruler redirect examination by his attorney. Merle Fallon. Dean listed a number of debts facing him, including $285 for a new clutch for his car. "What do you need a clutch for if you don't have a license?” Mr. Luke asked. “I have a lot of court eases.” Dean replied. “I only drive to court.” “You know that's still driving suspended, don't you?" Mr Luke asked. “Yes. sir." Dean admitted. Asking Ms. Bishton to return to the stand. Mr. Luke asked. “In your meetings, did the defendant ever talk about any of these things?" No, she replied. In arguments. Mr. Luke reminded Judge Foley that the GDI program has been designed “in mitigation” of jail sentences where leniency is deemed appropriate, adding that the evidence created a pnma facie case for violation of Dean's GDI agreement. “He has excuse after excuse for every problem of noncompliance — and as in so many cases the excuses cannot be corroborated," Mr. Luke said. "His excuses are not sufficient to show why he is not in violation.” 1 ^ Rappahannock | National Bank 1 ‘Your community bank” Hours: Monday - Friday 9 a.m. -2 p.m. Friday evenings 5-7 Gay Street, Washington 703-675-3519 ,\rms Yes!

He has in effect thumbed his nose at CDI and at this court." Mr. Fallon, in his argument for leniency for Dean, noted that “his problems are by his own doing but are beyond his ability to pay.” Mr. Fallon added that Dean had pleaded guilty without the benefit of counsel, suggesting that the young man did not realize the gravity of the charges against him or of his responsibilities once he was assigned to the CDI program. “He has just started working at a decent-paving job, and he can work out from under the fines over time,” Mr. Fallon suggested. “He cannot do that from a jail cell. Putting him in jail would only compound his problems severely.” neiore pronouncing nis sentence, Judge Foley reminded Dean that he was advised of his right to counsel before he pleaded guilty, and that both young men had signed waiver of counsel agreements. “I instructed you of your right to counsel, and you made a voluntary and intelligent waiver of that right.” Judge Foley said that his intent, in assigning the two to the CDI program, was that they should make a contribution to the communities w here they reside. Dean's co-defendant. Judge Foley noted, has performed his service and paid his costs. “You are back here ... As Mr. Luke pointed out, you have an excuse for everything . . . You are in severe financial difficulty. I must determine if you are in contempt, and what to do. You will be 20 in July. You are not off to a very good start.” “I gave you one chance,” Judge Foley reminded the young man. "Apparently I didn't get your attention. If you had a wreck, I believe you could have invested a couple of dollars to call this court.” After finding Dean in contempt. Judge Foley told the defendant he was relieved of paying his share of the restitution, as well as immediately settling the $455 court costs. The judge then told Dean that he would have to serve the balance of the 191-day jail term suspended at the original sentencing. “It gives me no pleasure to send you to jail, but I have very little, patience with your excuses,” Judge Foley told the yciung man. Dean began to ask if he could say something, but Judge Foley cut him off. “No more,” he said, requesting that Mr. Fallon advise the young man of his right of appeal of the sentence.

Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News LAST WEEK’S TORRENTIAL RAINS caused streams to swell and roads to flood. The Rush River lived up to its name, closing Rt. 622 in Harris Hollow. Schools were dismissed early on Friday due to the threat of high water. Sperryville preps for holiday festival With the Memorial Day weekend fast approaching, most families are busy making plans for holiday outings to usher in the traditional beginning of summer. The Sperryville Business Council suggests that a perfect way to spend the weekend is a visit to its Sperryville Springfest, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 28 and 29. “Come enjoy our scenic town and help us celebrate the beauty of spring in the Blue Ridge Mountains,” said Cheri Woodard, the council’s president. Nestled at the foot of the mountains on Rt. 211, Sperryville boasts an ever-increasing assortment of craft shops, antique dealers and other merchants. This year, the third annual Springfest will offer even more events than before. “It’s shaping up to be another big festival to usher in the summer,” Ms. Woodard said. Begun five years ago as Faith Mountain Company’s “ Festival of f ‘jnerican Crafts,” the Springfest finally outgrew its longtime site at Faith Mountain on Main St. This year, the craft exhibits will be centered at Oldway Craft Village, on Rt. 211 west of town. ■ As in years past, however, other stores and merchants throughout the town will also sponsor their own craft demonstrations. That involvement of other groups of town residents is one factor in the festival’s growth, as well as insuring its diversity. This year is no exception, with not only the town’s merchants, but its civic organizations, churches and other groups planning to participate as well. Several of the town’s churches will have baked goods and other items for sale, and the Sperryville Fire Department and the Sperry ville Volunteer Rescue Squad will be fixing hamburgers, hot dogs and other food for hungry festival-goers. And during the festival’s hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., there will be nonstop entertainment at several locations around town. The Fearless Airbom Conjury will provide magic with a smile, as well as juggling and other feats of derring-do. There will be folk, gospel and country music, and the Orange County Cloggers will perform during the afternoons. At other locations there will be demonstrations of country cooking, including apple butter boiling, and tastings from one of the Commonwealth’s newest industries, its wineries. Many of the town’s merchants will be offering special sales to observe the Springfest, and all will be open during the festival’s hours. Although the Springfest will not be held on Monday, Memorial Day, most of the town’s shops will be open for business. The Sperryville Business Council sponsors the yearly festival, a spokesman said, as part of its dedication to improving the business environment of the region, particularly as it relates to tourism. And Sperryville has become a favorite stop for visitors touring Virginia’s Northern Piedmont. Only five miles east of Skyline Drive on , Rt. 211, it is also a leisurely 90 minute drive from Washington, D. C., and Richmond. The town is registered as a historic district by the State Division of Landmarks, and many of its buildings date from as early as 1780. Although tourism has brought a renaissance in the village in recent years, it is little changed from early in this century. And, in addition to the sightseeing within the village, there are outdoor recreational opportunities galore both within Shenandoah National Park and in the surrounding areas. “WildfloWers, spectacular mountain views, wildlife, clean water and fresh air abound,” Ms. Woodard said. As always, there is no admission charge to any of the Springfest’s events. For more information about the festival, contact Ms. Woodard (708-987-8521) or Claudia Trinca (708-987-3177). There are still openings for crafters interested in showing at the Oldway Craft Village. For information about space at the village, contact Eric Kvarnes (703-9878474) or write P. O. Box 219, Sperryville, Va. 22740. < State’s growth still strong WILLIAMSBURG — Despite the expected deceleration in Virginia’s economy for 1988, first quarter growth has exceeded that of the same period in 1987, according to the latest figures in the Virginia Business Report, published monthly by the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary. Economic activities for the month of March also outpaced March U987, said Roy L. Pearson, editor of ^ihe report and director of the bureau. Five of the nine economic indicators reviewed by the bureau showed not only statewide gains for the quarter, but increases over March 1987. “In payroll jobs, especially, we have a continuing boom that resembles a stampede,” Mr. Pearson said. “Not even the October stock market crash slowed it or caused it to waver.” The availability of employment figures generally lags one month behind other economic indicators, and for February jobs increased 4.7 percent in Virginia.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter 1950 Dodge will be on the block Saturday to the Auction proceeds will net scoreboard With its annual auction set for Saturday, the county’s Lions Club members are busy picking up donated items. However, they are still actively soliciting additional contributions. “Any usable, saleable items are welcome," a club spokesman said, “except food and clothing.” The club will also accept cash contributions, he added, which are fully tax deductible. This year the club has earmarked the proceeds from the auction for the purchase and installation of a scoreboard for the Rappahannock County High School’s new gymnasium. Among all the items up for auction, one stands out: a 1950 Dodge two-door sedan. Lions club member Kermit Weakley plans to donate a portion of the car’s sale price to the club. According to Mr. Weakley, the car is in original condition, not re stored, but runs fine. It bears a new state inspection sticker, issued last week. The six-cylinder engine is in “good shape,” Mr. Weakley reported. For the gourmets in attendance at the auction, there will be gift certificates for dinners at The Inn at Little Washington, The Village Cafe, Brown’s Chinese Restaurant in Luray and Brookside Restaurant, on Rt. 211 east of Luray. A number of furniture pieces have been donated, including a 40inch square farm table made by Tom Von Fange of Woodville, a fourpiece sectional sofa, a mahogany chest of drawers, a fireplace set and screen, and “household items truly , too numerous to mention,” a club spokesman said. There are also appliances, including a black and white television, a CB radio, filing cabinet, and a Coleman camping stove. And for weightconscious auction-goers, there will be several types of exercise equipment to be sold to the highest — or trimmest — bidder. Auctioneer Col. Tom Reese of Culpeper will conduct the sale, beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 14, at the Washington Fire Hall on Rt. 211 business. “Rain or shine, ready or not, the auction will be held,” a Lions Club member added. “Come early,” he said. “We expect a large crowd. And plan to stay late, there will be plenty of comfortable chairs for the tired of feet.” For last-minute information about pick-ups, delivery or donations, contact Martin Woodard (9878546) or Kermit Weakley (675-3246 or 675-3615). Donations may be delivered to the fire hall after 4 p.m. Thursday. “Enjoy the day,” the club spokesman said. “Bring your friends — you will help a good cause. Remember, we, the Lions Club, serve our community.” Three Virginia photographers at Middle Street Gallery Throughout the month of May the public is invited to attend an exhibition of photographs by David Roehler, Cynthia Mahan and Elsa Rosenthal at the Middle Street Gallery. The first two artists are from Rappahannock County while Ms. Rosenthal lives in Fauquier. All are members of the non-profit artists’ cooperative in Washington, Va. Each photographer approaches the medium in a different style. Ms. Rosenthal, who has works in the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, is showing color landscapes which she prints herself. “I’m most interested in light. Things that most fascinate me are trees. Until four years ago, I did all black and white portraits. Now I do all nature - all color.

And what I can do with this time stopping machine using different films in different lighting situations.” Ms. Mahan’s work includes black and white landscapes and hand-colored plant forms. “The subject matter of my work is unimportant. My concern is the composition and design.” She plays with colors, creating lily pads in pastel hues and an outside bath-tub with delicately tinted flowers in the water. Black and white landscapes of the desert are shown also. Her work has been exhibited in Washington, D.C., at the Kathleen Ewing Gallery and in Tennessee and California. “Images by Three Virginia Photographers” may be seen at Middle Street Gallery Friday through Sunday from II a.m. to 6 p.m. each weekend during May.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY. MAY 12, 1988 * * * *. •• ▼» *W Editorial Swift justice Judge Charles Foley minced no words with a young defendant on Tuesday. The 19-year-old had been found in contempt of court and in violation of his community service agreement. After a hearing in General District Court, the young man was ordered to serve the 191 days in jail suspended by Judge Foley during his original sentencing in January for the destruction of 13 mailboxes. Harsh punishment for an act of vandalism? In the eyes of some, perhaps, but we think not. Not, especially, after the young man had been given a break in January. Judge Foley found the young man and his cordefendant suitable candidates for the Community Diversion Incentive program, where they could contribute constructively to repay their destruction. Of their 195-day jail sentence, they served only four days, and those on Saturdays. , But, as Judge Foley so often notes, he gives those before him only one bite of the apple. Young Dean, he added, seemed to want to eat the whole thing. Certainly, there are many occasions where mercy should be shown to criminal defendants. Judge Foley acted with leniency in his original sentence. He has done the same in other cases. Vandalism such as the mailbox-bashing is disturbing because it is so senseless. What’s the point, we ask, besides the aimless destruction of another person’s property? In most such cases, the perpetrator probably doesn’t even know the mailbox’s owner. The two defendants in this case, along with a juvenile, don’t even live in Rappahannock County. They were just out on a lark — a senseless, destructive lark. But the judge’s sentence Tuesday comes not from the original crime, but from Dean’s unwillingness to fulfill the conditions of his probation and assignment to the CDI : program. As Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, he thumbed his nose at the CDI program, and at the court. So young Dean will, in Judge Foley’s words, be a guest of ' the county for a considerable period of time. Time which, we hope, he will put to constructive, rather than destructive, • use. And, as the judge observed, there is time after his release for him to get a new start on his life. Perhaps the case will serve as a lesson to others in two ways. First, that vandalism and the senseless destruction of property belonging to someone else will not be tolerated or dismissed as a harmless prank. And second, that when offenders are granted leniency by the courts, it should not be construed as lack of resolve or an invitation for them to pursue their activities further. Leniency has its place, but so does the imposition of harsh penalties to those unrepentient of their acts, or who seek to take liberties with the court’s compassion. Judge Foley’s decisions recognize that, and we commend him for it. Slaughter urges treaty renegotiation WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman D. French. Slaughter Jr. (7th-VA) has signed a Congressional resolution regarding the future security of the Panama Canal. “The turmoil and mounting political tensions in Panama represent a threat to the security interests of the United States and its allies. The situation in Panama clearly threatens the ability of the United States to fulfill its security obligations in this hemisphere,” said Rep. Slaughter from his Washington, D.C., office. “The United States *must have the discretion and the means to defend the Canal,” said Mr. Slaughter. “In addition, we must be able to ensure its continuous operation and availability to the military and commercial shipping of the United States and its allies.” “The strategic importance of the Canal and serious concerns about Panama’s social and political instability have prompted a number of members of Congress, including my. self, to urge President Reagan to renegotiate the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty,” Rep. Slaughter explained. “The resolution I have signed, along with over 60 members of the House, urges the President to renegotiate those portions of the Panama Canal Treaty in order to permit the premanent stationing of U.S. military forces in Panama beyond the year 2000, and which would allow the United States to act independently after the year 2000 to maintain the security of the Canal and tc guarantee its regular operation,” he said.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor Alcohol education needed To the editor: As the high school SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) has brought to our attention, we must not forget that teenage drinking can be a problem. Alcohol is the drug of choice among children and teens. When kids drink, they don’t “sip it” to be social. They may drink until they’re drunk, even though they don’t admit it or even recognize it. They may get into cars and attempt to drive home. Too many never make it. Drunk driving is the leading killer of young people between the ages of 16 and 24. They are net only being killed by adult drunk drivers, which is also a serious problem, but they are killing themselves and their friends. The Rappahannock County Elementary School PTA urges parents to talk with their children and teens about drinking and driving drunk. These conversations - there must be more than one - should include how the parents feel about the issues and some ideas on how the kids can resist peer pressure to drink and how to prevent their friends from driving drunk. Young people must be taught to understand that they must never get in a vehicle with anyone who has been drinking, including an adult. Parents need to offer solutions for handling such difficult situations and be willing to help by offering to pick up their teens or to hold alcohol-free parties at home. The dangers of drunk driving must be understood by teenagers before they are handed the keys to a car. It is up to parents to make sure their children don’t just hear the words, but really understand that their lives are in danger. Teenagers tend to believe they’re immortal. Let’s not wait for a tragedy to prove to them they’re not. The PTA wishes to commend the high school’s SADD Chapter for all its work to make the prom weekend a safe one and wishes to encourage parents to do their part to keep our roads and our teenagers safe. RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTA A truly fun fair! To the editor: This is just my way of saying thank you to all who helped on Saturday to make the second annual fun fair held at the Rappahannock Elementary School a huge success. To list all of those who helped would be too great a job, and I don’t want to slight anyone, so to all of you a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. • To my assistant and co-chairman Mary Jane Swift, may I say, “We really pulled this thing off, didn’t we?” To all of the stores and businesses that helped us to adver use — man* you so very mucn. To all of the children who helped with the games — how could we have done it without you? We extend the invitation to all of those who missed this extravaganza to please help with the preparations for the next event, starting now with any suggestions that you have, for we plan to make this an annual event and next yr will be even bigger and better. Once again, three cheers. LINDY MALLORY MARY JANE SWIFT RCES Fun Fair Co-Chairmen Inspired by ‘Jubilee’ To the editor: While frying a small fish recently I was reminded of Lao Tzu’s advice about ruling a state . . . with as little turning as possible. But our economic system is showing its terrible weaknesses: America is hated around the world for exploiting smaller nations, industrialists are polluting the planet, corporations are abandoning us to go international and the dollar and the stock market are in danger of collapsing. God allowed communism to develop to curb some of capitalism’s excesses - after every peaceful means of socialism and fair shake for the worker was demoralized and crushed by rich industrialists. But communism is a reaction ... a throwback to the tribal economics of when matriarchy flourished. Capitalism, on the other hand, is obviously a product of the patriarchy, where every’ man has the same potential of becoming a Daddy Warbucks, or so it is claimed. The theory of communism says that out of the struggle between the two forces a new’ economics will arise combining qualities of both. I think that is what Gorbachev’s “glasnost” and Teng’s “New Capitalism” are all about. Capitalism, though, views its future as endless - space offers it a whole new’ empire to exploit: infinite suns w'ith planets and people to turn into markets and products . . . forever and ever - quite unlike every otmer institution the earth has ever seen; which like people, are bom, grow old and die. But God revealed a better way to humanity when the ancient Jews were in transition between tribal life and civilization. Unlike every other commandment, however, no at tempt was ever made to follow it. But if it had been instituted ahd if the Jews had accepted Christ as their Messiah (forestalling their disastrous Second Rebellion, when they followed a false mqssiah to defeat) today the “Christian” world would be “Jewish,” and instead of capitalism and communism, an evolved “Jubilee” would no doubt prevail throughout the world, providing for a periodic redistribution df land and wealth every 50 years . at least once during the average lifetime. There is no way the Biblical rates for “Jubilee” could be followed nqw - times have changed and our Constitution forbids it. But there is nothing to prevent our being pre-“civlized” people - the time inspired by this great Biblical idea. The Jubilee is the perfect economic system for the coming “people-archy” or “family-archy,” where God (the Trinity) is being revealed as a divine Family in which all people are members, needing only to be “born again” into its spirit and life! It is seen as a heavenly Family consisting of a Mother, a Father, and am Elder Sibling to all mortals and angels. : The Jubilee is to economics whfrt love is to life. It would mean a democratic market place where consumers and employees, as well as bosses, decided upon its course. It would mean a further extension of fairness, justice and equality into ill of our lives! It is God’s plan for national survival: periodic redistribution of land and wealth . . . “Jubilee.” ; PETER B. HOLLEY Boston, Va., & Honolulu, HI. ! RLEP supports hearing 1 U MW CU1LUI . The board of directors of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection wishes to go on record in support of a public hearing concerning ttie tour-laning of U.S. Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville, Virginia. RLEP DIRECTORS Flint Hill :> TV news gives me gas To the editor: On Saturday, April 16, Channel 4 of San Antonio, Texas, ran an item in its evening news headed “World War Two pilots hold reunion” and showed some clips of some outdoor ceremonies held at the Admiral Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg, Texas, that day. Proininent in the clip was a bald Japanese man, wearing a light suit, and conversing animatedly, with gestures, in English. The implication was that he was the Zero pilot at the “reunion." The Nimitz Museum actually held a “Yamamoto Mission Retrospective,” with eight ex-Air Corps pilots and one Japanese pilot, who had been flown in from Japan for this symposium. This was not a reunion in any sense of the word. In attendance as participants were historians, and even two philosophers, as part of the program. The purpose was to settle, or to try to settle, a controversy as to who had actually shot down Admiral Yamamoto. Kenji Yanagiya, the pilot, had arrived earlier direct from Japan and was showing the effects of jet lag. Unlike the man in the film clip, he is stocky, handsome in the “old” Japanese manner, with a shock of still-black hair. He is traditionally reserved in manner, does not speak English, and never gestures with his right arm, which ends in the stainless steel hook that replaced his right hand. In the two hours on the platform he was reserved, stoic, po lite and spoke clearly and forcefully*,. He was a dignified figure in black. ,; J San Antonio’s Channel Four in its Action News” features a hantjsome young man and a beautiful Hi^ panic woman as co-anchors.

Gypsy Moths and forest management By BUCK KLINE Defoliation by the gypsy moth in commercial hardwood forests presents forest managers with impor‘ tant questions that are difficult to • answer: How extensive and severe is the defoliation likely to be? How « long will it last? Will it cause economic losses? Will damage be se- rious enough to warrant control? Which control measures will be cost effective, and for how long? At present these questions can be answered only in general terms. Fall and winter egg mass surveys are used to detect the presence of gypsy moth and to predict defoliation expected the following spring. Reliability of these surveys depends upon the sampling method used, egg mass density, stand structure, weather conditions, and the infestation’s current trend. High egg mass densities usually result in severe defoliation, but accurate defoliation ^predictions are more difficult when .egg mass density is low. The impact of gypsy moth defoliation on host trees depends upon initial tree vigor, the amount of fo liage eaten, the number of successive annual defoliations, the occurrence of refoliation, weather, and subsequent attacks by other insects or disease-causing organisms. Usually a tree can lose up to half its leaves without losing much vigor, but heavier or repeated defoliations and the refoliation which follows, deplete food reserves significantly. Trees stressed by defoliation become more susceptible to damage from adverse weather, insects, fungi and other organisms. Gypsy moth outbreaks usually result in two or sometimes three successive years of heavy defoliaton before virus disease or a combination of natural agents reduces the larval population to low levels. Local tree mortality following two successive years of heavy defoliaton can vary from 5 percent to 80 percent. Experience has shown that some forests are more likely to be defoliated than others. Susceptible stands of trees have a preponderance of white oaks and an abundance of sites (refuges) suitable for resting caterpillars, pupation and egg lay ing. Refuges include rough or loose bark, tree holes, crooked and leaning trees, rocky ground, and artificial features such as rock walls, signs, refuse and other lairs. Chestnut oak stands on dry rocky ridges often sustain the most frequent and severe defoliation. Even relatively resistant forests, such as vigorous red oak stands on good sites, can incur heavy defoliation, particularly when they are adjacent to highly susceptible forests. When outbreaks occur in these relatively resistant stands, tree mortality is sometimes higher than would be expected in a susceptible forest. A high level of oak mortality can render forests more resistant to subsequent defoliation. A quantitative system for rating stand susceptibility has been developed, but it is too complex and timeconsuming for general use and its reliability in the Southeast remains untested. No system currently exists for accurately predicting the mortality that will occur following defoliation, although techniques for measuring the starch content of roots and the electrical resistance of stems can help to evaluate the relative vigor of individual trees. At present, forest managers must base control decisions on relatively subjective evaluations of recent population trends, defoliation history, stand susceptibility, stand vulnerability and economic considerations. Chemical control of the gypsy moth can be very effective in the short run, but susceptible trees commonly become reinfested again after a few years.

Art preserves vanishing rural scene By DANIEL BARBIERO Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer (Editor’s Note: Mr. Barbiero is an urban art critic, frequently published in Washington, D.C.’s “New Art Examiner.’’) The road trip from Washington, D.C., to Washington, Virginia, is one that can seem like a trip measured in years rather than miles. One begins amid the peculiarly contemporary aggressive urban congestion inside the Beltway, moves out and backward to the sanity-restoring spaces of points west. Outside of Arlington the stretch of Route 66 running to Warrenton captures the spirit and the architecture of the hopeful postwar suburban sprawl, the frugal glitter of low-built fast . food restaurants, the vinyl and neon ' iconography of Wendy’s and Denny’s and Bob’s Big Boy, enthroned in secular roadside shrines close by the drive-thru window. Finally, along Route 211 West, there is the prewar landscape of roadhouses and outbuildings, of animals on open land and farm equipment on front lawns, of beauty that is determined as much by usefulness as by appearances. But I’ve come to look at art, not jto praise landscape. Still, while viewing Middle Street Gallery’s “Gallery Artists and Friends” show, one can’t help but think of the surrounding rural landscape. Because this show seems to reflect an aware ness of the rapidly vanishing rural ecology, and of art’s role in its preservation. Nearly every different kind of style and medium was represented, from Lois Moore Manookian’s Next Exit, a collage incorporating stamps and pieces of magazine pictures, to Nina Moore’s colorful layered tableau of handmade paper. In between were photographs, most notably Cynthia Mahan’s black and white Zabriskie Point, Death Valley, and David Koehler’s color view of a police car shot from a rear view mirror. The picture comes complete with advice courtesy of a fortune cookie saying attached to the print: “Be Sincere, Even If You Don’t Mean It.” Other work included Camille Ward’s collage This Is A Great War Picture, and Merrill and Philip Strange’s table of wood and painted tile. Laurie Marshall’s painting of the local mountainscape, though, brought the show closer to its unstated, but powerful, motif of the disappearance of rustic life. The somewhat elegaic tone of the show was best summed up by two photographers and one installation artist. Muscovite Edik Gladkov’s black and white pictures of life in a Soviet village eloquently document rural living halfway around the world. Gladkov’s photographs can be stark and rough-edged, just like the way of life he depicts. But here, too, one gets the distinct impression that this way of life will not continue indefinitely; the pictures capture a certain melancholy of inevitability, as if this were the last chance to record the data of a place before it vanishes forever. The same could be said for Frank Herrera’s North To Signal Fork, a black and white photograph of three wooden crosses erected in rural Virginia. Herrera has been given a grant to document the rise of these clusters of crosses - they are being constructed throughout the rural Southeast courtesy of wealthy fundamentalist Bernard Coffendaffer - and the decline and shrinkage of the areas for which they are destined. Herrera’s picture appears to have been taking during a cold twilight - that this could be a dawn is unimaginable - in which the time of day embodies much more than a particular hour marked on a clock. Suffused throughout is the peculiar poetry of decline, the understated elegance of the star that flares up brightest just before it implodes. Similarly, gallery artist Rex Slack’s Night Train seems to be a sort of archive preserving the memory of a vanishing type of domesticity. Inside the shell of an old Philco TV set, Slack has constructed a miniature living room complete, with a Extension Homemakers Week By JANET EASTHAM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer May 1-7 was designated by Gov. Gerald L. Baliles as Extension Homemakers Week in Virginia. The Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers participated in several events. Toni Updike of Washington Daytime Club presented a nutrition course May 3 at Wakefield School, and on May 4 the clubs sponsored a visit of the blood mobile to the Washington Fire Hall. Members of the various clubs enjoyed lunch at the Corner Post Thursday, and on Friday visits were made to local nursing homes and handmade laprobes were given to the patients. An important aspect of Extension Homemakers work is community service. Each year local Extension Homemakers Clubs participate in community projects such as the Fourth of July celebration, Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show, bloodmobile, volunteer dinner, and baccalaureate service at the high school. Founded in 1923, the Virginia Extension Homemakers Council has some 10,000 members. Anyone interested in becoming a member of this educational and informative organization should contact Sandra Richardson, the county Home Extension Agent, at 675-3619. il ^afeeftelb ikJjool Huntty, Virginia 22640 703-635-8111 Open House and Admissions Placement Testing (GradesK-12) May 14,1988 Doors open at 8:30 AM THE AREA’S TOP ACADEMIC SCHOOL The Primary School (Pre-K, K, and Grades 1 -3) The Grammar School (Grades 4-7) The Preparatory School (Grades 8-12) At Wakefield, the major goal of education is the intellectual formation of the child. The results have been high achievement, creativity, and self confidence. Wakefield juniors and seniors consistently have median SAT scores that are among the highest in the nation, and in 1986-87, Wakefield had the highest percentile of National Merit Finalists in its senior class of any school, public or private, in Virginia. The Wakefield Math Team won the district championship; French students took top awards; and the student literary magazine Talisman won, for the fourth year in a row, national recognition at the Columbia School of Journalism. These awards and distinctions are typical of Wakefield student achievement. Wakefield offers the following: • A safe, caring, and friendly environment of small classes and dedicated teachers. e An elementary program which stresses the basics, with a comprehensive examination at the end of Grade 7 that insures student mastery of elementary skills and content. e A high school curriculum that includes 12 Advanced Placement courses in all major subjects. • An unusually strong high school English program which emphasizes reading comprehension, literary analysis, composition, grammmar, and vocabulary. • Foreign language instruction (through advanced level) in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Latin, and Homeric Greek, e Required courses in history. Logic, and philosophy. • Inter-scholastic teams in soccer, field hockey, volleyball, skiing, basketball, track and cross-country, lacrosse, and tennis, e Annual summer program in Devonshire, England, and opportunities for foreign travel each year during spring holiday. e Impressive placement in the Ivy Leagues, MIT, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, U.Va., William and Mary, Stanford, and others. Wakefield runs busses from Warreton, New Baltimore, Haymarket, the Plains, Marshall, Upperville, and Markham. Also from Front Royal, Winchester, Berryville, Charles Town (W.Va.), Woodstock, Luray, and Culpeper. Wakefield’s admissions policy is non-discriminatory in regard to sex, race, religion and country of national origin. T tiny television and a figure seemingly hypnotized by the cathode light of the TV. Outside the living room window one can see a Chessie coal car, The Night Train of the title. The piece’s detail is stunning, and documents, no less than do Herrera’s and Gladkov’s photographs, a disappearing slice of life. Slack is like an archivist transforming source material into a three-dimensional replica. Nature abhors a vacuum, and so does memory. The drive back to Washington, D.C., may have paralleled the movement of history - from open country to city - but what history tries to destroy, memory may maintain. That the preservation of cultural information can result in satisfying art is indisputable, and this may well be the unique calling of the rural artist. /Out of the Attic ■v Photo courtesy of Mrs Vergie Clafteihuck HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES: Frances Smith (Mrs. Johnny Groves), left, and Louise Hitt (Mrs. Everett Smith) had their picture taken in 1950-51 in front of Washington High School.

Spring garden notes • Red and silver maples, willows, poplars, and elms often clog septic lines. Plant these species well away from waterlines and sewers. • Poison ivy is dangerous all year round. Gardeners can get an irritation from the leaves, roots, berries and even smoke from burning the vines. Learn to know the leaves to guard against it. If you think you may have come in contact with it, wash immediately with soap and water and remove any clothes that may have the oil on them. Prevention is the best medicine for this ailment. • Don’t over water lawns this summer. Too much water leaches nitrogen from the soil, encourages w'eeds and invites disease problems. • Creeping red fescue may be used for turf in shady, droughtprone areas. Keep this grass at two to two and a half inches in height. • If the lawn is bluegrass, fescue. resist the urge to fertilize now. Fall is the time to fertilize these grasses. Fertilizing now wall keep you behind the lawn mower all spring and increase chance of injury to your lawoi from summer disease and drought. • Cabbage loopers and imported cabbage worms are green worms which eat large holes in the leaves of plants in the cabbage family. They are difficult to see, but the holes and green “frass" or excrement on the plants are tell-tale signs. Also look for the familiar adult cabbage moth, white, with dark tipped wings. Caterpillars may be hand picked or sprayed with Bacillus thuringiensis, a natural, non-toxic preparation available by various trade names. • Slugs love cool, moist weather and succulent, leafy crops, especially lettuce and cabbage. Debris in the garden provides them with a place to hide and should be removed promptly. To see if the garden is under attack, put out a board or invert a flower pot in the garden. The next morning, see if there are any slugs clinging underneath. If so, begin removing them by hand every few days to decrease their populations. • Plan vegetable gardens with nutrition in mind. Compare the nutritional values of crops with the amount of space allotted them. For example, there are more vitamins and minerals in a block of spinach than in an equal amount of lettuce. • Consider planting some ornamental gourds in the garden this year. After harvest in the fall, wash and dry them thoroughly and paint them with clear shellac. Place the gourds in a basket or bowl for an attractive centerpiece for Thanksgiving. • Four to five layers of newspaper will serve as an effective mulch in the garden. Cover it with sawdust or straw to reduce the white glare and prevent it from blowing away. Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Next Deadline May 26th Call 675-3338 to place your ad!

Protect plants with a currently recommended pesticide as soon as these small shiny black hopping insects are noted. Floating row covers such as Reemay will prevent flea beetles from damaging plants. • Spinach leaf miners tunnel between the surfaces of the leaves of beets, spinach, swiss chard, and lettuce and leave white trails etched in the leaves. The tiny white grubs hatch from white eggs which were laid on tlje underside of the leaf by a small fly. You may prevent the fly from laying eggs on your plants by keeping them covered with a cheesecloth tent or spun polyester row cover. • Toads eat cutworms and other insect pests. Give them a home in the garden by placing inverted clay flower pots in-shady spots. Chip out a piece of the pot rim to give the toads an entrance to their home. • Don’t spray pesticides on a windy day. Not only is pesticide wasted, it may endanger other crops or the applicator. • Thirty-five of the 39 snakes found in Virginia are beneficial to the farmer and gardener. They eat insects and rodents. Of particular value is the large black rat snake, which consumes large numbers of mice, rats, and other small mammals. • Introduce children to gardening. Give them a small plot of their own with full sun, good soil and drainage. Geraniums and begonias from pots are easy for little hands to handle and marigolds, radishes and favorite vegetables can be added. 1988 Virginia beef cookoff set You could be the new Virginia Beef Cookoff winner and go on to compete in the National Beef Cookoff where the grand prize is $15,000.

Controlling blood pressure Your doctor has just told you that you have high blood pressure — hypertension — and that you need treatment, but you feel* fine. High blood pressure may have few, if any, symptoms. That’s one reason why it can be dangerous, according to the American Heart Association. There are many factors that you can control to reduce yur risk of high blood pressure. One of these factors is diet. If you weight significantly more than your ideal body weight, your physician might advise cutting down on calories. As a person loses weight, blood pressure often drops automatically. Sometimes reducing sodium intake can help lower blood pressure. A reduced-sodium diet will mean avoiding salty foods, processed foods and controlling the amount of salt used in cooking and at the table. Another important control factor for reduction of high blood pressure is exercise. A regular fitness program that involves 20-30 minutes of aerobics three or four times each week can help shed extra weight or he.p maintain ideal weight and relieve anxiety. An important thing to remember with any modified eating plan or exercise program is that it should be undertaken under the direction of your doctor. This is especially important when the dietexercise regime is designed to help control hypertension. For some people, weight loss, sodium reduction and exercise will not lower nign Diooa pressure as much as necessary. Medication might be prescribed to treat the problem. In most cases of hypertension, medicines are effective in lowering blood pressure. Related factors that are associated with high blood pressure include alcohol consumption and the use of oral contraceptives. There are also uncontrollable factors that increase the chance that a person wjll develop high blood pressure. If your parents had high blood pressure, you are more likely to develop it. Men are more likely to develop high blood pressure than women until after menopause when the prevalence among women is greater. High blood pressure occurs most often in people over the age of 35. Black Americans develop high blood pressure more often than whites, and it tends to be more severe. High blood pressure is a lifelong disease but it can be controlled. The American Heart Association reconi mends having your blood pressure checked at least once a year. By controlling your high blood pressure, you will lower your risk of stroke, heart failure and kidney disease. This May, in honor of High Blood Pressure Month, have your blood pressure checked. High blood pressure is not something to ignore — it can kill you, the association says. 1 Commemorative Print of the 63rd Running of the VIRGINIA GOLD CUP • Full Color • 32"x22" Overall • High Gloss • Professional Printing • Aerial Photograph taken during the running of the Gold Cup PRE-PRINTING PRICE $12.50 MAY 7,1988 VIRGINIA GOLD CUP 63rd Running ORDER THIS UNIQUE COLLECTOR'S ITEM before May 21,1988 to receive our Pre-Printing Price of $12.50 Each.

Homeseekers on tight schedules usually are genuinely interested in buying and are more likely to make an offer than someone who will adjust his schedule to your convenience. After the showing, the buyer may phone you for information or for a committment that might be detrimental to your best interests. Rather than give any information, refer the buyer to your agent. Never let anyone into your home without an appointment. A sign in your front yard or a multiple listing should not change anything. Because your home is for sale doesn t mean it’s wide open to the general public. If you list with us, we ll provide business cards.

Sourdough: An adventure in cooking and baking By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics When you think of San Francisco you immediately think of cable cars and sourdough bread. Sourdough starter, like spring, has the ability to renew and replenish itself, thus generating loaf after loaf of delectable bread and other treats. There are a few pointers to remember when beginning the preparation of the starter. 1. Use only wooden or plastic mixing spoons. 2. Use glass, plastic or stoneware bowls. Do not use copper or aluminum. 3. Use a stoneware, plastic or properly designed glass container in the refrigerator. A sealed glass jar is hazardous as the glass may crack or shatter. 4. Let all ingredients come to room temperature. 5. Do not try to hurry the proofing or rising by raising the temperature higher than 85 degrees F. 6. Use the inside of your wrist for determining the proper temperature of warm water to be added. 7. Do not ever allow your starter to be subject to a temperature above 95 degrees F. or it may die. 8. A w arm place means 85 de grees F. and draft free. 9. Remember that a clear yellowliquid may rise to the top of your starter. This is normal, just stir it back in. 10. Throughout its lifetime your sourdough starter may bubble and foam. This is normal. 11. Never add anything other than flour and water to your starter or you risk killing it or changing its characteristics drastically. 12. Label your starter container in the refrigerator. Because of its sour odor many have been thrown away by helpful souls cleaning out their friends’ or family’s refrigera tor. 13. Chemicals in water can affecl sourdough results and in some cases it even kills the sourdough. Bottled water is suggested to prevent this. 14. Presifted flour and self-rising flours are not recommended. Unbleached white and stone ground whole wheat flours are preferred. 15. Freshly fed starter can be frozen for up to two months. The fermenting action is considerably slowed down when frozen. To renew the starter, let it thaw at room temperature. When starter is thawed put it in a warm place until bubbly. This usually takes about 24 hours. If you have been given a good starter, use it well and regularly. When you use it regularly, the batch should stay lively and active. Should you find it difficult to use it frequently enough, it is best to discard about half of the starter and replenish it with water and flour every other week. The older the sourdough starter, the tangier it will be. Starter that is very tangy can be made milder, if preferred, by adding 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the flour when you make yeast breads. Sourdough starter recipes are numerous. Some use yeast, others use buttermilk, potato water or yogurt. Take your choice of the starter recipes and then begin your sourdough cooking adventure. PRICES!

Gateway Plaza Shopping Center. Front Royal When using yogurt, low-fat yogurt gives a tangier taste than does regular yogurt. Non-fat milk gives a sourer taste than whole milk. For consistent flavor continue to use the same type of milk used originally in , the starter. W Yogurt Sourdough Starter 1 cup non-fat, low-fat or whole milk 2 tablespoons low-fat or regular plain yogurt 1 cup all-purpose flour Heat milk to 90 to 100 degrees. Remove from heat and stir in freshly opened yogurt. Pour milk into container, cover tightly, and let stand in a warm place where the temperature is between 80 and 100 degrees. Be sure the temperature is correct - above 110 degrees may kill vital bacteria (the mixture may still smell sour, but won’t get bubbly); below 70, the bacteria won’t grow well. Good places to place the starter are the tops of water heaters or refrigerators, or in a partially enclosed area where heat collects. After 18 to 24 hours, the starter should be about the consistency of yogurt — a curd will form and the mixture won’t flow readily when container is slightly tilted. If some clear liquid rises to top of mixture, simply stir it back in. However, if liquid is light pink in color, milk is beginning to break down - discard starter and begin again. After a curd has formed, gradually stir the flour into the starter until smoothly blended. Cover with a towel and let stand in a warm place (80 to 100 degrees is ideal) until mixture is full of bubbles and has a good sour smell. This should take about two to five days. If clear liquid forms, stir it back into the starter. But if liquid turns pink, spoon out and discard all but 1/4 cup of the starter, then blend in a mixture of 1 cup each lukew arm water (90 to 100 degrees) and all-purpose flour. Cover tightly and let stand again in a warm place until bubbly and sour smelling. Now the starter is ready to use, or to store, covered, in the refrigerator. If all goes well, the recipe yields about l‘/2 cups starter. To maintain your supply, each time you use part of your starter, replenish it with equal amounts of lukewarm milk and all-purpose flour. For example, if you use 1/2 cup of starter, blend in a mixture of 1/2 cup lukewarm milk and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Cover the batch and let stand in a warm place until mixture is bubbly again (several hours or until the next day). Then cover and refrigerate until the next use. . | Basic Sourdough Starter 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 3 T.sugar 1 T. dry yeast 2 cups lukewarm water With a wooden spoon, stir dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl,' gradually add lukewarm water. Stir until mixture resembles a smooth paste. Cover with a towel and set in warm place to sour. Stir mixture several times a day. In 2 or 3 days, sourdough will be ready. Store in a heavy plastic container, with a hole punched in the lid to allow gas to escape. To make a batter for a sourdough recipe, take 1 cup starter and combine with 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup lukewarm water. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Don’t worry about lumps in the mixture; fermentation will dissolve them within a few hours. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm spot several hours or overnight. Before adding additional ingredients to recipe, return at least 1/2 cup of mixture to sourdough container stored in refrigerator to replenish starter. If starter is not replenished at least once a week, add 1/2 cup each of lukewarm water and all-purpose flour to container. Mix; leave out of refrigerator overnight, covered with a towel or plastic wrap. Next morning, stir down mixture, cover with lid and return to refrigerator until needed. Occasionally, pour all of sourdough starter into a mixing bowl. Wash container to remove flour buildup. To replenish, add equal portions of flour and water, cover and let stand in a warm spot overnight. ’ Potato Water Starter 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed „ 1 quart water l3A cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 envelope active dry yeast (1 tablespoon) In a large saucepan, cook potatoes in water until tender. Drain, reserving 2‘/z cups liquid; set aside to cool. (Use potatoes for another purpose.) In pitcher or large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast and reserved potato water and beat with plastic or wooden spoon. Cover with cloth or U with lid that is slightly «yar and set*'? in a warm, draft-free place. Let/w stand one to two days or until mixture becomes bubbly. Stir mixture several times each day. To use, remove starter as. needed. Replenish every seven to 14 days by stirring in equal amounts water and all-purpose flour. Mikes' * about 3V4 cups. See SOURDOUGH, p. 15.’.

Improving TV habits What can you do if your child comes home from school, turns on the TV and stays glued to the set for hours? How can you tell if you or your kids are TV addicts? These are among the questions answered in the April issue of PTA Today, which focuses on “Children in the Electronic Age.” Recent research suggests that the average child spends 30-35 hours a week in front of the TV set. The National PTA’s magazine offers alternatives to watching TV, tips for guiding TV viewing and activities to help watchers become readers. “Indiscriminately watching endless hours of television to the exclusion of other worthwhile activities can be harmful to the intellectual growth of children and is cause for concern,” said Nancy Lee Cecil, associate professor of reading at California State University at Sacramento, writing in PTA Today. However, she believes that if viewed in moderation, with guidance from discriminating adults, TV can actually become a tool to help children think more critically. One way for parents to teach children how to think critically while viewing is to help them examine TV commercials. Ms. Cecil suggests the following activities to help children become more discerning viewers: • Have children keep a log of TV commercials they have seen over a two-week period. Ask them how the commercials made them feel. Help children look for manipulative techniques in the advertisements. • Perform taste tests. Have your children perform taste tests comparing two well-known products, such as hamburgers or soft drinks. • Point out deceptive devices. Make children aware of the misleading visual and audio effects widely used on television by having them compare the actual product with the distorted version presented on the commercial. For example, the size and sounds of toys. School menus RCES May 16-20 Monday - Hamburger/the works, French fries, chilled mixed fruit, sweet “P” cookie, choice of milk.

I Angus breeders recognized Three Rappahannock County Angus cattle breeders have been recognized by the American Angus Association for their superior Angus cows, according to the association. Robert P. Anderson of Woodville and J. Newbill and D. Brooke Miller of Washington each had one registered Angus cow included in the association’s annual Pathfinder Report. The three are among only ^32 of the more than 25,000 recognized association breeders who were included in the Pathfinder listing, according to Richard Spader, executive vice-president of the association. John Crouch, director of performance programs for the American Angus Association, explained that the Pathfinder program “identifies superior Angus cows based upon re corded production traits that are economically important to the commercial cow/calf producer. These traits include regular calving and heavy weaning weights.” All registered Angus cows which meet the Pathfinder standards are listed, along with their owners, in the Pathfinder Report which the association publishes and distributes annually. The 1988 Pathfinder Report lists 3,288 individual cows. The largest number of Pathfinder cows from a single herd this year is 93, and several hundred breeders have a single cow which qualified for the Angus Association recognition, Mr. Spader said. The Pathfinder Report is published in the May issue of The Angus Journal. Ajjruly fun fair!

John Bushong Sales Manager “YASNY” on ♦ the • spot financing Medicine s court jester at Gay St. On May 20, the court jester of the medical profession will bring his zany medicine show to the Gay Street Theater in Washington. Dr. Hunter B. (Patch) Adams believes that many of the problems afflicting patients are rooted in emotional distress, and for them, the cure is joy. “The best therapy is being happy,” he says. "All the other things doctors can do — acupuncture, surgery, homeopathy — are, at best, aids.” And so he tours the country dressed as a snake-oil salesman, dispensing “elixirs of life" and enticing audiences to laughter. He has 325 rubber noses that he dons — sometime several at a time — with the regalia of a circus clown, complete to huge floppy shoes. On stage, he swigs the elixirs with dramatic flair to demonstrate their effects. He swallows the elixir of faith and expounds on the relationship between faith and healing. He takes a mouthful of the elixir of exercise and declares: “Few elixirs give such positive results with regular use.” With a volunteer from the audience holding the other end of a white rope, he demonstrates proper tooth flossing on his two assistants dressed as bicuspids. “Now if you’re new to this, it may take two to six weeks of bleeding gums,” he warns, “before flossing . . . becomes .. . your life!” His is often the same advice you get from your dentist or your regular physician, but when it comes from Patch, it’s dressed in humor and it penetrates. Watch him prance around the stage with the bicuspids and you remember to floss; listen to him preach on the perils of processed food and you find yourself filling the grocery cart at the produce section. Despite the trappings of a clown, this is a real doctor, with a mission and a message. ine uipioma comes irom me Medical College of Virginia. The mission is raising $2.5 million for the non-profit Gesundheit Institute and a 40-bed hospital in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, where patients will receive free medical care that addresses both body and soul. The message is “Good health is a laughing matter.” And more. It is a plea for closeness and a cry for peace. “We’re not just talking curing illness here. I mean, we are, but if you cure cancer and leave a world full of nuclear missiles, what have you done?” Dr. Adams asks. Hunter Adams was an Army brat, the son of career officer, and he grew up around the world: Germany, Japan, Texas, Oklahoma. He lived overseas most of his life, returning to Northern Virginia with his mother in 1961 after his father’s unexpected death from a heart attack. He had attended Army base schools, a system that had integrated a decade earlier. But this was Wakefield High School in Arlington, “a school with a lot of racial tension, and I could not cope with the hate,” he recalls. Despite being hospitalized twice in his senior year for ulcers, Patch Adams graduated from Wakefield and enrolled at Sewanee, University of the South. But his uncle, who had served as a surrogate father, committed suicide. Convinced of life’s injustice, Patch tried to kill himself, too. Looking back, he admits he didn’t really want to die. and the attempts were unsuccessful. But he recognized at the time that something was very wrong inside, and so he committed himself to a mental hospital. There he met people in much worse shape. He spent the time talking with the other patients, and as he grew to know them, he recog nized a recurrent theme: they were alone. Dr. Adams left the hospital knowing that he could make a difference and believing that difference would come in the field of medicine. He attended George Washington University as an undergraduate. The Medical College of Virginia thought he showed such promise that he was invited to enter medical school at the end of his junior year. “I was smart. I was particularly smart in memorizing, so medical school wasn’t hard for me,” Dr. Adams recalls. “I spent a lot of time with patients. In medical school, he met Lynda Edquist, who was a volunteer at an adolescent medicine unit. (They would later marry at a grand pageant of a wedding costume ball to which hundreds of guests came dressed in medieval gowrns and doublets.) In his senior year at MCV, he wTote the first plans for the Gesundheit Institute, picking the name mostly because it makes people laugh. “But gesundheit also means wellness in German - which is the current medical buzzword - and that’s at the root of what wre do,” Dr. Adams explains. “Also, people use it to mean ‘God bless you,’ which fits our notion of the importance of faith to health." In planning the Gesundheit Institute, Patch and Lynda saw four major issues that needed to be addressed: the cost of health care, the dehumanization of care, maL practice, and third-party insurance. “It was easy to address them: Don’t charge money, see the ideal doctorpatient relationship as a friendship, don’t carry malpractice insurance, and don’t accept third-party insurance,” Dr. Adams recalls. “As a student, I learned what the model of a doctor was. You spent five, 10, at the most 15 minutes with a patient, got a list of complaints, did some tests, then prescribed some medication. That works for some people,*but it was unsatisfactory for me. I wanted to get more involved with people’s lives, and I knew there were people who needed and wanted a more personal relationship with a doctor, too. ” In 1974, Dr. Adams and several other like-minded physicians began operating the non-profit Gesundheit Institute from a 12-acre farm on Ox Road in Fairfax. He practiced there, then at The Rocks, a communal firm in Jefferson County, West Virginia, and finally from his home in Arlington before stopping four years ago to devote his energies full-time to raising money for the new hospital. In those 10 years, he saw 15,000 people. He charged no fees, believing it morally wrong to make a profit from giving patients what is rightly theirs. But he did earn about $52,000 a year from a part-time job nine nights a month as medical officer in the emergency room of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. He carried no malpractice insurance, refusing to “practice in fear and mistrust." He sees insurance as reinforcement of the doctor-as-God concept and an implication that the doctor is responsible for the cure while the patient is the passive recipient of it. “The huge majority of illnesses have a life-style component - ultimately, the health of each of us is our own responsibility. We'll have a sign in our hospital that says ‘Please live healthy - medicine is an imperfect science’.” He would begin establishing the trust necessary for friendship at the very first visit, spending three to four hours recording a patient’s medical history. Dr. Adams started with facts and vital statistics, and inevitably, after seeing his sustained interest, the patient began to talk about feelings. “I don’t interrupt them,” Adams says. “I’m hoping that in the course of the four hours, they get to at least one subject where they forget I’m even in the room.” He focused on the emotions, gestures, body language. All are significant to a physician who believes that today’s most fundamental problems are boredom, loneliness, and fear. Dr. Adams believes that the more he knows about a patient, the better he can help them. So rather than limit the interview to four hours, he prefers that a new patient come spend a week with the Adams family - Patch, Lynda and sons Zag and Zig - and other friends who share their home. He doesn’t discount modem medicine. He takes from it freely when necessary. But he also uses acupunction, nutrition, and other approaches to health care not taught in traditional medical schools. He knows that a change in lifestyle may bring more lasting benefits with fewer adverse side effects than drugs or surgery, but he recognizes that it’s often easier to persuade a patient to take blood pressure pills than to stop sprinkling salt on food. Dr. Adams pushes, but it’s a gentle nudge rather than a hard shove. When it opens, the lakeside hospital in West Virginia will be surrounded by flower beds and vegetable gardens. Rooms will be reserved for pottery, painting, and music. It will be a place of beauty. “Our feeling is that esthetics is healing,” Dr. Adams explains. The medical practice at the Gesundheit Institute will be standard as well as holistic. Not all the doctors will be the kind that conduct four-hour interviews on medical history. “I am trying to hire a staff with broad points of view, so that whoever walks in there will be able to go to somebody that they can be touched by. You don’t want meditation, fine; you don’t want brown rice, great; you don’t want goofiness, fine. Weil know who to send you With the services of doctors, nurses, technicians, and other staff all donated, Dr. Adams estimates that annual operating costs will be between $300,000 to $600,000 for the 40-bed hospital. That’s about one percent of what it takes to run the standard medical facility of comparable size. It may all sound like the impossible dream with Hunter B. Adams, M.D., in the role of Don Quixote - except that it’s happening. The Gesundheit Institute bought the 310 acres in 1980. Four years ago. Dr. Adams and his compatriots began building the first structure, a 6,000 square foot shop that was completed last year. After rejections from more than 1,000 foundations, in September of 1987 the first $100,000 donation came in. Most of the contribution checks are for smaller amounts, from $10 to $50. But for the last four or five years, the yearly total has amounted to around $100,000 and last year it went up to almost $240,(XX). “We’re on the verge of getting the money we need," says Dr. Adams. The presentation of the MAGIC ELIXIRS OF LIFE is set for Friday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the Gay Street Theater in Washington, Virginia. Dr. Adams will promote his special tonics for healthy living, curiosity, love, and nature. Tickets at $3 are available from Mountainside Market in Washington. Proceeds benefit the non-profit Gesundheit Institute.

Budget Continued from Page 1 don't have enough," said Mrs. Kreitler. Although the budget lists welfare administration tat $237,657) separately from public assistance (at $1S7.)H)1), the division is arbitrary in that services and assistance are also provided by the administrators, according to Mrs. Kreitler. Because of staff limitations that have required the director to fill in for the social worker. Mrs. Kreitler said she will have payment for 600 hours of overtime coming upon her retirement this July 1. And despite the extra hours, the county is still not in compliance with regulations on one foster care case, a situation that has existed for four years, she noted. Theoretically, the state — which owes the federal government millions of dollars in reimbursement for similar cases throughout Virginia — could demand repayment from Rappahannock for its share of service cost provided for the non-compliant foster care case, she added. "If we had more people, that would not happen." Staff limitation is also the reason why "elderly people are not getting the services they need" and why a protective services case involving a child judged to be at very high risk for suicide is not getting the attention merited, she said. “And there's a lot of sexual abuse in this county . . . We could do a lot of preventive services (with another social worker) that we’re not doing now . . . It's not true we work only with poor people. We are service facilitators." This role is particularly important to the elderly whose pensions and retirement income are not enough to live on, and so they are seeking help in increasing numbers from the Welfare Department, Mrs. Kreifler confirmed. Sometimes, the solution to their plight is issuance of Food Stamps and sometimes they merely need information on other programs, such as Social Security, to which they are already entitled. According to Mrs. Kreitler, this is the direction in which the Social Services Department is moving: away from an agency that gives financial assistance and towards a facilitating agency that provides clients with, or refers them to, counseling. training, other existing services. and jobs. And in doing so, she confirmed, the Welfare Office works with the Department of Rehabilitative Services, the Community Services Board, and FORE, the nonprofit sheltered workshop at Remington. The State Department of Social Services approved a second social worker's position three years ago, based on the caseload and demographics of the county. The first year, Mrs. Kreitler believed the staff expansion wasn’t really necessary, and the second year, she had difficulty finding a qualified person for the job. Then for this year, the job was eliminated. Recruitment is a challenge because the salaries set by the Rappahannock Welfare Board average $1,500 below those paid in neighboring counties, according to Mrs. Kreitler. "We’re a great training ground. They make $15,000 here after two or three years, and they can go to Fairfax and get $22,000 for the same job.” However, she assured the supervisors that replacements can be found for herself as social services director and for the social worker who is leaving this June, plus a new social worker if that position is retained in the 1988-89 budget. And giving the board guidance on where the budget might be cut without repercussions, she noted that administrative costs could be reduced by as much as $8,000 to reflect the savings expected in replacing veterans with less experienced workers. In addition, she acknowledged that the line item for sick leave could be dropped by $3,000, which had been included to pay for her accumulated leave when she intended to retire next July. (To administrative assistant John McCarthy’s question, Mrs. Kreitler noted that the current welfare budget will have sufficient funds to cover that accumulated leave.) Chairman Gilkey advised consulting accountant Wally Cox to determine the amount of local money involved in the salary savings for the replacement personnel and the sick leave deletion before reducing the proposed budget at all. Otherwise, he said, “I feel comfortable with her budget as presented.” There were no dissenting remarks from the other members — Mr. Massie, Charles Estes and Ellis Bingham — present at Thursday’s work session. The Social Services budget was the final departmental request reviewed by the Board of Supervisors in work sessions stretching over the past month and a half. The proposed county budget now stands at $6.5 million, and will be advertised with a tax rate of 52 cents per $100 of assessed real estate value. School Board Continued from Page 1 that Rappahannock should discontinue its in-county vocational programs, Mrs. Massie said. In fact, offerings at RCHS have been improved concurrent with greater participation in the regional school, she noted, citing as an example the growing number of computer courses offered at RCHS and the expansion of shop classes. Reeve declines reappointment “I have enjoyed it so much. I have learned so much,” said Nancy Reeve of her eight years on the School Board. “It’s a vantage point anyone really interested in education needs to be able to have, so it’s time for someone else to have the opportunity to lend his expertise to the board.” “Piedmont District has a lot of people who could be drawn upon to serve," said Mrs. Reeve, in announcing she is not a candidate for reappointment. “I have donated time to the community. Now I need to concentrate on my family for a while.” She applauded Mrs. Massie’s decision to seek another term. “We do need continuity on the board, and she has a long range view of the educational needs of this school system. At the same time, a change can bring a fresh approach, so the best possible situation is to mix change with continuity,” Mrs. Reeve maintained. “I’m most pleased with what’s happening (to the county’s educational program),” she said. “We have a really good School Board and a fine team of administrators. They’re all workers. They all have a positive attitude, and I’m certain that the new representative from Piedmont District will be able to work well with them.” As to what qualities that replacement should have, Mrs. Reeve said: “An open mind and a great interest in education and young people.” JOIN US AT OUR END OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION PRICES PARTY at HIDDEN FIELDS May 14 and 15,1988 12 noon - 5 pm FREE PIG PICKIN’ bring The KID$ We" have plenty ,odo • Hay fl/des • pony Rides • C/owns • Refreshments ' P'9 Pickin' Plus much more.

He took part in the supervisors’ final review and adoption of the new zoning ordinance. He also rewrote and revised the county’s subdivision ordinance for consideration by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors and oversaw the redrafting of Rappahannock’s Comprehensive Plan. In addition, he suggested tighter Tax rate Continued from Page 1 So the 69-cent rate that is being advertised works out to an increase of 38 percent. In Warren County, the current real estate tax rate is 49 cents; the proposed rate is 70 cents, a 42.8 percent hike. Madison, another county with a new assessment, levied 71 cents per $100 this year. The supervisors there have not yet advertised a rate but if budget requests are funded as submitted, and if the increase is absorbed entirely in the real estate levy, the rate will go up 13 cents, according to the Madison County administrator. That is an increase of approximately 17 percent. Neither budgets nor rates have been adopted yet by any of the neighboring counties, but judging from preliminary indications, Rappahannock’s taxpayers will have the lowest rate increase and the lowest rates in the region when the new fiscal year begins July 1.

With the concurrence of the Board of Supervisors, Mr. McCarthy instituted an administrative requirement that the recipient of a lot created through the family exception sign an affidavit attesting to intention to use the lot for a residence and recognizing that sale of the lot within a year’s time could be viewed as evidence of attempt to circumvent the ordinance. As zoning administrator, Mr. McCarthy began the practice of issuing actual written permits for building and development, supervised the building inspection office, reinstituted the practice of attending all meetings of the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, and Board of Zoning Appeals, and improved recordkeeping and manage ment of the zoning office. More recently, he consolidated county purchasing and will serve as agent in that regard. He also persuaded the state to give Rappahannock a seat on the Washington By - pass Interagency Task Force, which, is evaluating proposals for an outer beltway around Washington, D. C., and will be the county’s representative to that group. Mr. McCarthy lobbied for selection of Rappahannock as a site in the Virginia Water Project’s groundwater mapping program, and when that proved unsuccessful, secured funding from the Piedmont Environmental Council and the cooperation of the VWP to pursue DRASTIC mapping here. He also arranged the county’s participation for the first time in the Piedmont Policy Board which oversees job training partnerships between government and private industry. Water system Continued from Page 1 “a clear trail as to who talked with whom when, and who decreed what the appropriate action was to be,” Mr. Burner said. “The story and the trail are pretty cold.” Mr. Burner said he’s spoken with members of the Rappahannock Lakes Homeowners Association and has attempted to contact Stan Dye, a former lot owner in the subdivision and the owner of the property on which a second water supply well was drilled and connected to the system. “We’re trying to verify what happened.” He couldn’t confirm if the first well was drilled 60 feet deeper as dir rected by the Health Department’s supervising engineer. Mr. Burner acknowledged, however, that the requirement for the deeper well appears to have been a protection measure against further contamination by fecal coliform bacteria. He also agrred that contamination of a drinking water supply by fecal coliform poses a potential health hazard. “I don’t know why it would have been dropped, whether it was a community water system or a private system. Somebody from this office or the local Health Department office should have been monitoring the situation to make sure the water was safe for drinking, no matter who or how many were drinking it,” he concluded, adding that his investigation is continuing. Astrologer to speak During the last two weeks, skeptics and believers across the country have been busily arguing the science, or psuedo-science, of astrology. The debate has been enlivened by former White House chief of staff Donald T. Regan’s allegation, in his newly published book, that Nancy Reagan dabbles in astrology and has changed President Reagan’s schedule because of predictions from an astrologer. Diane Eichenbaum, of New York City and Dallas, Texas, will address the many questions raised by Mr. Regan’s disclosures in a talk entitled “Charting a Course for the ’90s: Astrology as an Effective Tool for Everyone.” She will speak on Wednesday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the Conyers House in Slate Mills. There will be a $5 admission charge, and refreshments will be served. According to Conyers House proprietor Sandra CartwrightBrown, reservations are suggested since attendance will be limited.
