Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE DRIVER OF this 1988 Plymouth is in fair condition in the intensive care unit at Culpeper Memorial Hospital after this accident Monday afternoon. Driver escapes serious injury By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Gregory Donovan, 43, of Quarryville, Pa., remains in the intensive care unit at Culpeper Memorial Hospital for observation of injuries he received in a car accident Monday afternoon in Sperryville. According to Trooper H.A. Newlin, who investigated the accident, Mr. Donovan was westbound on U.S. 211 at the Parkway Gift Shop. A Potomac-Edison Electric Co. utility truck had just finished working on a power pole off the eastbound shoulder of the road. The driver, Wayne Richards, 26, of Madison, pulled across the road toward the parking lot of Parkway Gift Shop and into the path of Mr. Donovan’s westbound car. The front bumper of the 1988 International four-wheel drive service truck caught Mr. Donovan’s car on the driver’s side at about head level, shattering the windshield and ripping the roof nearly off the car. The impact impaled the car on the front bumper of the truck, and it came to rest in the gift shop parking lot, with the truck still blocking U.S. 211. Mr. Donovan was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Amissville Rescue Squad, where he was admitted with a fractured arm, fractured clavicle and kept for observation of a possible head injury. His wife and small child, who were also riding in the car, were not hurt. Trooper Newlin charged Mr. Richards with reckless driving. Mr. Donovan’s car was totalled, and the Potomac-Edison truck had about $300 damage to the front bumper, the trooper estimated. ance cost to rise sharply 12-30% increase likely for school employees ’ coverage By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board received information on health insurance coverage available for employees next year, and the news wasn’t good. Two plans will be available through the state. Interestingly, the less expensive option is called the “comprehensive plan.” Under it premiums for a single subscriber would be $131 per month or $1,572 per year, an increase of 12 percent over the single subscriber rate in the current health insurance plan. The rate for a subscriber and one minor or spouse would be $262 per month or $3,144 per year, an increase of 50 percent over the current plan, and the rate for a subscriber and family would be $367 per month or $4,404 per year, a 20 percent increase over the current plan. Superintendent David Gangel told the board at its meeting Tuesday night, “The comprehensive plan is comparable to the plan we currently haVe, but not as good." The cost for the “basic plan,” which he said is “better than the plan we currently have,” would be $166 for a single subscriber, a 30 percent increase, $326 for a subscriber plus one, an increase of 87 percent, and $456 for family coverage, an increase of 49 percent. Actually, these rates are slightly lower than rates which County Administrator John McCarthy said would be available under the state plan for county employees for the coming year, but for county employees, the rates are lower than those of their current plan. The county is currently contributing $128.80 per month for employees participating in the health insurance plan. This covers almost 77 percent of their $168 per month single subscriber premium. The school system is paying $77 per month for the employees participating in the health insurance plan, and this covers almost 66 percent of a single subscriber’s premium. Under the school budget submitted by the School Board to the supervisors, the amount contributed towards employees health insurance is due to rise 10 percent to $84.79 per employee, but with rates rising at least 12 percent for the less expensive plan, the coverage would drop to 64.5 percent of a single subscriber’s cost. Mr. McCarthy, on the other hand, is requesting thal the county fund 100 percent of the cost of a single subSee INSURANCE, p. 16 Increase in local school funding necessary as state, federal governments reduce their assistance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer If the school budget for next year is approved by the Board of Supervisors, Rappahannock will be offering a higher starting salary for teachers than any of the surrounding counties. However the salary for the county’s most experienced teachers will continue to lag behind. All of the school budgets have been approved by their local school boards, but none have been approved by their local governing bodies, so a comparison is somewhat like comparing apples and oranges. Some school boards and school administrations approve “wish lists” and send them on to their supervisors, who then do the pruning and paring. Others, like Rappahannock’s, are more pragmatic, considering political and financial realities before sending their budgets to their supervisors. If the various school budgets are approved, or if changes in them do not affect teacher salaries, Rappahannock’t proposed starting salary of $22,045 will be $45 higher than the second highest in the area, Fauquier County, which proposes to start its teachers at $22,000. Next will come Culpeper with a starting salary of $21,525, followed by Page County with a proposed start ing salary of $21,450, and Madison with $20,975. Lowest of the proposed salaries for beginning teachers will be in Warren County, where the starting salary is scheduled to stay the same as this year, $20,264. However, Warren County’s proposed school budget would add 2.4 percent to all other steps on its salary scale and in addition to pay the five percent of a teacher’s salary that the employees normally contributes to the state retirement system. Although some localities in Virginia have already been making this payment for their teachers, Warren will be the first county in our area to do so. At the other end of the salary scale, the salary for a teacher with a bachelor’s degree and 30 years of experience, Fauquier will continue to be highest with a proposed salary of $38,366. Warren County will be second with a salary of $36,930, followed by Culpeper at $35,600. Page County will rank fourth of the six counties with a top salary of $33,000, followed by Madison County at $32,981. Rappahannock will rank sixth with a top salary of $32,360. In order to fund the proposed salary scale and raises of six percent for all school system employees, the school budget requires an increase of $300,284 in local revenues. This represents a 13.9 percent increase in local tax monies going to support the $4.5 million school budget. Again comparing the proposal with nearby counties, Fauquier County’s $47.7 million school budget requests an additional $7.2 million in local tax revenues, a 31.2 percent increase. Warren County also is asking for a significant increase in local taxes, $1.5 million or an increase ol 24.5percent in a $19.3 million budget. Culpeper County’s school budget requests an additional $716,000 in local tax monies for the $22.8 million budget, 7.5 percent more than this year. Page County and Madison County school boards have approved school budgets which actually require fewer local tax dollars for next year than were approved for this year. Page County is asking $3,300 fewer local dollars for their schools for the coming year, and Madison County is asked to contribute $4,229 less next year than this. The total percentage that Rappahannock’s school budget is scheduled to increase, if the supervisors approve it as proposed, is 6.6 percent. This is also the lowest rate of increase in the area. See REVENUE, p. 16 Greening of county signals approaching Fodderstack 10K By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s almost time again. The trees are opening to their familiar greening of spring, the mornings warming to perfect running weather, the evenings light long after regular working hours. Springtime in Rappahannock is Fodderstack time - this year, the 12th running of the annual Fodderstack Classic 10K Road Race. The renowned road race between Flint Hill and Washington has a new date this year, April 28; moved from the traditional third Saturday to the fourth Saturday in April to avoid a conflict with another annual event in Char-° lottesville. But aside from the date change, the Fodderstack Classic remains the same - beginning at 10 a.m. runners will face the same challenging 6.2 mile course which meanders across hill and dale along the original stage coach road, ending in front of the county courthouse in historic Washington, Virginia. “Entry forms are available in all the local stores,” said race committee organizer Jean Lillard. Registration forms are also available at the county building and zoning administrator’s office. Pre-registered runners will pay $10, while registration the day of the race, until 9:30 a.m., will cost $12. The race is sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreation Authority, with all proceeds going to benefit the Rappahannock County Park. This year, one of the authority’s priorities is repainting and relining the tennis courts at the park, Ms. Lillard said. Other money will go toward necessary maintenance and repairs at the facility, located on U.S. 211 just outside Washington. “We are hoping for a good day and a good crowd,” Ms. Lillard said, remembering last year’s cool, rainy day which held the turnout down. Besides runners from miles around, mothers pushing baby strollers, children getting some exercise, walkers enjoying the countryside and others just out for an ambitious Saturday morning stroll are usually among the entrants in the race. Serious runners are awarded hand-made trophies for their toil -another Fodderstack tradition. Local artist Maggie Rogers has created a new design for this year’s trophies; which will be awarded in eight categories to first, second and third-place winners. “We are excited to see the trophies,” Ms. Lillard said, adding that the traditional pottery See RACE, p. 16 Bank has new VP There’s a new face at Rappahannock National Bank.

Sex offender Corvin sentenced to 23 years By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Former county juvenile detention officer Richard Corvin, 32, of Fredericksburg, was sentenced to 23 years for forceable sodomy and six years for attempted forceable sodomy by a Fauquier jury on Friday, April 6. Corvin, who at the time of the offenses was serving in the Fauquier Juvenile Probation Court Service Unit, was found guilty of forcing a boy who was placed in his custody to engage in sex acts with him the evening of August 25,1988. According to evidence during the day-long trial in Fauquier Circuit Court last week, Corvin was telephoned by Deputy Robert Mosier after a 16-year-old Delaplane boy was arrested for possession of alcohol. Police cannot incarcerate juveniles; a juvenile probation officer must sign the required papers. Corvin took custody of the boy at about 8 p.m. on Aug. 25, 1988, telling Mosier that he would bring the boy home. Instead, according to testimony, the two went to Corvin’s apartment across from Warrenton Junior High, where Corvin gave the boy a beer “and talked to me about my drinking problem,” testified the youth, now 18 years old. The youth told jurors that Corvin began telling him about how Corvin and his friends engaged in various homosexual acts, then asked the boy if he wanted to have sex. The boy testified that he resisted, but Corvin told him, “You’re going to do this or go to detention.” The boy said in court that Corvin told him that he would be raped in detention. The two of them went into Corvin’s bedroom, where the two offenses occurred. Corvin later drove the boy to his grandmother’s home near Warrenton. Corvin testified that the incident never took place, and offered evidence that he was living in Rappahannock County at the time. However, Commonwealth’s Attorney Jonathan Lynn countered with a letter Corvin wrote to his landlord stating clearly that he had moved in a week before the date of the offenses. The incident may have never been reported, but the juvenile was picked up a year later on Oct. 21, 1989, for the careless burning of a hay bale and destruction of public property. The arresting officer was again Deputy Mosier. When told that he was going to be sent to detention, the young man began crying, said Mosier. Because Mosier and juvenile detention officer Roy Anderson knew of Corvin’s cases in Rappahannock County, they questioned the boy and he told them what had happened. Detention and Corvin “were one and the same thing in [the boy’s] mind,” testified Mosier. Lynn told the jury, “When the defendant started threatening [the victim], that, ladies and gentlemen, in the mind of a 16-year-old boy with an eighth-grade education, is a perfect example of the weight and might of the government.” The six-man, six-woman jury took about an hour to deliver its verdict. Sodomy carries a potential sentence of five years to life. Attempted forceable sodomy carries a two- to 10-year sentence. Corvin pleaded guilty to three charges of sodomy and a misdemeanor in Rappahannock Circuit Court in October. Those charges also involved a teenage boy. He was sentenced to four fiveyear terms, with two to run consecutively, for a total of 10 years. Four years of the 10 were suspended on the condition that he complete a fiveyear supervised probation. Corvin’s court-appointed attorney, Roy D. Bradley of Madison County, was granted a May 30 hearing in Fauquier Circuit Court on a motion to set aside last Friday’s verdict. He told the jury that Corvin’s trial amounted to a “witch hunt.” Be a smart shopper. . . don’t buy over-packaged goods. You know the kind - vegetables on plastic trays wrapped in plastic. Moore wins regional parole officer award By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Diane Moore said she doesn’t understand all the fuss about her winning the Probation and Parole Officer of the Year Award for the Northern Region of Virginia. “I was real shocked, but I feel real good. It makes me real proud after doing this for 12 years -- it makes me feel humble.” For Mrs. Moore, doing her best just comes naturally ~ it runs in the family, you might say. Though she’s just 35 years old, her supervisor jokes that she has 30 years experience at the job. Her father, Jack DeBergh, was also a parole officer, and as a little girl Mrs. Moore accompanied her father on his rounds. That was often the way they spent their Sunday afternoons. “You had a better chance of catching the parolees at home,” she explained. “It’s fantastic, and much deserved,” Chief Parole Officer Mike Fling - her supervisor in the Front Royal office — said of Mrs. Moore’s award. “There is no one any more dedicated. Her father was that way - -and she picked up where he left off.” Mr. Fling should know -- Jack DeBergh was the chief parole officer when he started, and Mr. DeBergh was his training officer. For the Front Royal office, where Mrs. Moore works, the award is the second in two years. J. Michael Spory, another officer there, went on to win the state award in 1988. That is the next step for Mrs. Moore, who will now compete against the other three regional winners. They must appear before a review panel in Richmond for an interview, and the state winner will be announced at the Virginia Probation and Parole Association conference in Falls Church at the end of May. Probation and parole officers work with the state Department of Corrections. Their job is the supervision of any convicted criminal placed on probation in lieu of jail by a court, as well as of anyone released from prison by the Department of Corrections into its supervised parole program. The officers also prepare background reports, called pre-sentence reports, for offenders found guilty and due to be sentenced by a judge. Those reports are lengthy and through background investigations, including interviews with the offender and his family, friends and employer, verification of all factual information, such as military service record and schooling, and a compilation of any prior criminal record. The pre-sentence report is often a major consideration in the judge’s disposition of a case. A similar study is done on all probationers and parolees when they are placed under the supervision of a probation and parole officer. When the report is finished, Mrs. Moore EASTER BUFFET!

She makes them toe the line.” And, he added, she has a great rapport with the law enforcement agencies in Warren County, as well as the surrounding jurisdictions where she also supervises probationers and parolees. She knows all the members of those agencies, and they let her know what her charges are up to. “She knows what they are going to do almost before they do,” Mr. Fling said. Besides her father, there’s another man in Mrs. Moore’s life who chose law enforcement as a career. Her husband, C.A. “Chuck” Moore, is a 17-year veteran of the Virginia State Police. Now a Senior Trooper with the department, he has been stationed in Rappahannock County since 1975, when he replaced retiring Trooper W.A. Buntin, who went on to become the county’s sheriff. The Moores, who live in Harris Hollow, have one daughter, Adrianne, who attends kindergarten at Wakefield this year. Mrs. Moore admits to Mr. Fling’s characterization of her as a no-nonsense parole officer. “I try to be compassionate and fair, while still being strict.” She says that her clients come from all types of backgrounds, from those with good families to underprivileged ones, from high school drop HELP!

Most do well and succeed.” Her biggest problems, she said, come from young offenders between 18 and 25 years old. Many are immature and irresponsible, she explained, “and they do not respond to authority figures, be they parents or probation officers.” The increasing use of drugs and alcohol is the primary reason most young offenders do not successfully complete their probation or parole. She has seen a sharp upswing in the failure rate of urine screens from those offenders. “Peer pressure, to smoke marijuana or take cocaine at a weekend party, is more important to them than a Monday morning drug screen.” But when they fail, Mrs. Moore is there to deliver her message: “When you are on probation or parole, obeying the law is your primary responsibility.” And, when she finds someone, “especially those young, cocky and irresponsible,” who fails to live up to the court-imposed conditions, she doesn’t hesitate to recommend that they spend some time behind bars. “When you fail on probation or parole, we have no other choice but jail,” she said. Prison bars have a way of humbling even the most cocky offender, she added. “I’m a believer in incarceration. There are exceptions, of course, but for most it hammers home the message that they were wrong — the confined environment, loss of freedom.” To recommend that someone be sent to jail is a hard decision she said, but she also gets satisfaction from the job, “when people do well.” And, she adds, “I’m often thankful when I go home at night for what I have. I’ve seen a lot of people who never had a chance -- from the time they were bom.” Ed Clark on WVPT-TV Ed Clark, president and director of The Wildlife Center of Virginia at Weyers Cave, joins host Phil Easley on WVPT Public Television’s “On the Line” Sunday, April 15 at 5:30 p.m. Mr. Clark, a local environmental activist, is also a member of the Council on the Environment, Virginia’s coordinating agency for environmental quality matters.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau Justice was done On Tuesday, General District Court Judge Charles Foley accepted a guilty plea from Gustavo A. Lopez of Washington to a charge of maliciously wounding an animal. Last month, Mr. Lopez, who is an employee at the Blue Rock Farm, across U.S. 211 from the high school, allegedly shot a German shepherd in the front leg with a shotgun. The dog ran off and was discovered by employees at Faith Mountain Company, a short distance down the road, who called Animal Warden Ray Pullen. Mr. Pullen took the dog to a veterinarian, then returned later and charged Mr. Lopez with maiming the animal. The charge, however was dismissed in General District Court later last month. While the argument by defense attorney Douglas Baumgardner may have had legal merit, it did not seem to us that justice was done. Warden Pullen and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke didn’t think so either, and charged Mr. Lopez again under a different statute. That charge led to the guilty plea this week. Mr. Lopez was fined $500, plus $344 restitution, and must perform 40 hours of community service. We applaud the tenacity shown by Warden Pullen and Mr. Luke in refusing to allow this sort of behavior to go unpunished. Because of Mr. Lopez’s action, the German shepherd, who has since been adopted, will live the rest of his life with only three legs. The wound inflicted by Mr. Lopez was so severe that his left front leg had to be amputated at the shoulder. Animals, particularly domestic animals like dogs, depend on their human owners for their needs. They trust and love us, and their faith is undeterred by sometimes unspeakably cruel conduct. Animal workers are familiar with tales of horribly abused animals which continue to respond to their owners, despite their cruelty. We hope that the sentence imposed to Mr. Lopez will send a strong message to anyone else disposed toward such conduct that it will not be tolerated — at least not in Rappahannock County. And we commend the effort of Animal Warden Ray Pullen, who has done much to improve the lot of the neglected and abandoned animals in our county since he was appointed to the position. Through his work with the volunteers from the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, at least some of those animals have found loving homes instead of death at the dog pound. We hope that the verdict against Mr. Lopez will encourage him, and Mr. Luke, to continue to aggressively prosecute such cases, and to continue their advocacy on behalf of the county’s abused animals. They are the only voices those creatures have. Commentary Rappahannock Heritage [\ap^aiiaiuivA.h ntws puuiufvuiuj ivicuuui A JOCKEY’S GEAR forms a steeplechase still life at Ben Venue last weekend. Letters to the editor Rec Center for people lothe editor: On April 2, about 3 p.m., a woman in a red Subaru station wagon showed up at the Rappahannock Recreation Center on U.S. 211, ne^r Little Washington, and proceeded to “run” her large black and tan dog until it made its mess (near the volley ball court). When the dog finished, the woman whistled it back to her car and left. This woman is not the first person I have seen use the large grassy areas of the Recreation Center as a dog run and “dump.” It saddens me that she, and others like her, lack the intelligence to recognize that the center is a playground, for the young and old. With its swings, slide and jungle gyms; its walking paths, picnic tables, basketball and tennis courts and its grassy plots, it is a public area for play, picnis, family reunions, school outings and the like. The message I would like to convey to this woman, and the others like her, is simple. The Recreation Center, though a public place, is a people place, it is not a dog run. If you feel you must use it as a place to “run” your dog, please have the courtesy to bring and use a “pooper scooper.” I take my two-year-old grandson there several times a week to play, and I hate the thought of him (or anyone else) stepping in, slipping, or falling in your dog’s mess. LARRY GENEBACH Amissville Answer the Census To the editor: What if Rappahannock County could get more money for its school system? What if there was more money available for law enforcement, social services, government programs? What if this money did not cost the county one dime in taxes? What if this money could be counted on to help the county financially for the next ten years? If that sounds good, be sure to fill out your 1990 Census form for the U.S. Government because: • Each person counted means $400 a year to that county — $4,000 for the next 10 years before the next Census in the year 2000. • Each family of 4 is worth $1,600 a year and $16,000 for the entire 10 years. There is a new question — first asked in 1980 about the handicapped. All of us know people in wheelchairs disabled by war, age or disease. Because of the census, the government has helped these people become more mobile in our society. Article I, Section II of the Constitution in 1790 stated that we would take a census immediately, and every 10 years thereafter. Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem to be counted. We must all help ourselves and our neighbors to get our full share of tax dollars to our local community. BETTY LENZ U.S. Census Recruiter-Tester for Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties Appointments draw approval, amazement By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Many insiders believe Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has made one brilliant appointment that has already paid dividends and another appointment that may come back to haunt him. All that is speculative, of course, since even the best crystal balls sometimes cloud over with the passage of time. But the thinking among veteran state politician observers "with no particular axes to grind is that Gov. Wilder made the right choice in nam niiiiiiiimllUlifii r O.Kj SO THE LABEL WAS MADE IN THE US.A. - WHERE WAS THE PRODUCT MADE ? ing Jay Shropshire his chief of staff and the wrong choice in annointing Paul Goldman as the new chairman of the Virginia Democratic Party. Mr. Shropshire, who is from Martinsville and is a protege of Speaker of the House A.L. Philpott, was clerk of the Virginia Senate for years and has been one of Wilder’s closest confidants during his years in the Senate and as Lt. Governor. The new governor respects Mr. Shropshire’s intelligence and ability and, even most importantly, has abosolute trust in his political instincts. Above and beyond that Gov. Wilder also gets a huge bonus in Mr. Shropshire, a man who is among the best-dressed personalities at the Capitol and who is an absolute stickler for detail. That complements Gov. Wilder, who is one of those leaders who always has a clear view of the big picture but has the reputation of a politician who isn’t much on detail. People who have been around him for years says he has an intense dislike for paper shuffling and the various fluff that invariably crosses the desk of even the most important public officials. With Mr. Shropshire as his chief advisor and guardian of the gubernatorial door, Gov. Wilder can focus on the grand scheme of things and be assured that he won’t be embarassed because someone forgot to dot an “i” or cross a “t”. According to reliable reports, Mr. Shropshire took command of the ship immediately and made it clear to all staff that he expected to know about everything they were doing on the Governor’s behalf. Said one source closely connected to the administration, “Everything and everybody goes through Jay. You can’t get near Doug without his permission. He’s like Haldeman was with Nixon.” Old : Dominion Politics Rightly or not, many are saying Mr. Shropshire is attempting to use his newly acquired powers to even the score with Senate Majority Leader Hunter B. Andrews of Hampton, a long-time adversary. Sen. Andrews would have removed Mr. Shropshire as Senate clerk if he could have found the votes. This year Mr. Shropshire apparently helped Gov. Wilder embarass Sen. Andrews in a proposed CSX takeover of the RF&P Railroad. The appointment that many observers feel could backfire on Gov. Wilder is that of Paul Goldman as leader of the state Democratic Party. A New York lawyer until his recent return to Virginia, Mr. Goldman is considered both brilliant and mercurial. He was the primary architect of Wilder’s hit-and-run tactics that got him elected as lieutenant-governor, but was kept •far in the background last year in Wilder’s more elaborate and wellfunded gubernatorial campaign. Mr. Goldman starts with little, if any, credibility among conservative elements of the party and a reputation as a maverick. Many reporters can tell tales of long phone calls from Mr. Goldman over the years in which he espoused any number of theories of state politics and frequently dumped on some of the more conservative Democratic leaders. Mr. Goldman first entered Virginia politics working for liberal Henry Howell of Norfolk and has flitted in and out of the scene ever since. A vegetarian he could be frequently seen munching apples in the Capitol building while promoting the fortunes of Mr. Wilder. Unlike his predecessor, Larry. Framme, Mr. Goldman is far removed from the party establishment. Said one incredulous party loyalist upon learning of Mr. Goldman’s new role as party chairman, “It’s one of the strangest things I’ve seen. Here’s a guy who I’m told is an egghead liberal with no organizational ability and he’s supposed to hold together a group of people with lots of different philosophies who’re frequently at each other’s throats.” The same source said, echoing comments by others, “If Wilder owed Goldman something for his loyal services, and he probably did, he should have given him a good paying job in some think-tank capacity. Put him in a back room out of sight and let him be an idea man. But to shove him out front is ludicrous. I can only guess that Wilder wants somebody who is going to do everything he tells him to do.” Yet first impressions are not always lasting impressions. Mr. Shrophire’s imperial style which seems so right for Gov. Wilder at the moment could conceivably create enmity because of his single-handed role in gubernatorial access. And Mr. Goldman, with his close connections to liberal Democratic elements, might be better equipped to persuade fellow liberals to avoid intra-party squabbling so that Governor Wilder can have a show of unity behind him.

At Dover Downs, Delaware, Moody Aylor, Race Horse Trainer of Sperryville, wins 4 out of 5 starts, April 4 though April 7. That’s a good performance in any man’s tot book. W.L. “Moody” Aylor, Trainer for James W. Fletcher, E.B. Hudson, both of Rappahannock County, and Mrs. George A. Benlage of Luray, took 6 horses to the track 45 miles from Delaware, on March 30. It was a new track for him and for his horses. Lester Wayland, also of Rappahannock, an experienced horse man and former Whipper-In of the Warrenton Hunt, went as stable foreman and hot walker for this novice group. 15YEARSAGO April 17, 1975 The Bloodmobile has scheduled a visit to Rappahannock County for Tuesday, April 22 at the Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall in Washington. Hours for donors will be 1 to 6:45 p.m. and blood donations are accepted from persons 18 through 65 years. The extended afternoon hours will enable many people who work out of the county to participate. Jackie Estes of Washington, a part time student at Piedmont Vocational School, won second place in the state electrical contest held Saturday in Richmond, after placing first in area competition. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Estes and was awarded a certificate of merit and the medallion which will be kept at the school. 10 YEARSAGO April 10, 1980 The new section of the dual lane highway, Route 211, at Amissville, will be open today, Thursday, to traffic. Area residents are reminded to be cautious leaving and entering driveways, using proper crossovers, etc.; in other words, change habits acquired during the road construction period. The speed limit on this section of highway will remain at 45 mph, for some work remains to be done and construction will continue in the area. Beginning in May, the Rappahannock supervisors will hold their regular board meetings on the first Monday of the month rather than the first Thursday. Chairman E. P. Luke suggested the change as a means of reducing the time lag between action taken at the meetings and the report of decisons made by the supervisors which appears a week later in the Rappahannock News. The motion to change the meeting date, effective May 5, passed unanimously. Sessions will continue to begin at 10 a.m. in the courthouse at Washington. 5 YEARS AGO April 11, 1985 Sidney Mank of Washington, Va., has joined Sentry Realty Inc. as a sales associate at the Warrenton/New Baltimore office.

A view of Geneva By JEANNE DREVAS Rappahannock Ncwi Contributing Writer For the many people in Rappahannock who don’t know me, my name is Jeanne Drevas and recently — Alpin, and for those who do know me no further introduction is necessary. Through some twist of fate (my husband Carl’s job), after 14 years of living at the center of the universe, namely Rappahannock County, I find myself far-flung in Geneva, Switzerland. We’ve been here nine months and I thought it’s high time for some views of Geneva. Number one, of course, is that everyone doesn’t speak Rappahannockian, but French and yes, you can set your Swiss watch by the prompt buses. After all those years of country bliss, how can I have not one, but two, bus lines running at the foot of our house lot. Actually Geneva is still very underdeveloped as cities go with low buildings, except for the occasional international organization highrise. There are wonderful old stone houses and chalets, outdoor cafes (yes, already the tables and chairs have reappeared on the sidewalks), and just down the street there is a farm behind the Russian Embassy. The city gives way quickly to farm Perspective ft. h?t^y\u FORMED IN IB33 non CULPEPER AND NAMED FOR THE nappahaniioci RIVER. HEADWATERS OF which m land and vineyards. Which of course leads me to the wine and food section of this report. Great wine, of course, and local. Even the nouveau beaujolais is local. France surrounds Geneva on three sides and it’s a five minute drive over the border to cheaper shopping. The supermarche has huge stainless steel vats of white, red and rose wine from which you fill your own container at about a buck a liter. Does the Giant in Warrenton have that yet? The Saturday farmer’s market in nearby Femey, France is quite the experience with its huge selection of sausages, cheeses, fish and fresh bread of all sorts. Then there are the chicken, pheasant and lapin (rabbit) corpses hanging in their respective stalls, the cheval (horse) meat stall, the stall with 20 different kinds of olives. Now that stall is always a stopping place for me. Also at the market are the best and most varied salad greens I have ever encountered and not an iceberg lettuce to be seen. The eggs have “France” stamped pn their ends. All this followed up by a bouquet of flowers. Genevans are big on flowers. Genevans are also big on pets. TherYe on the bus, in the stores and restaurants. Our cat, Calvin, is a regular at the nearby World Health Organization restaurant. I’ve had reports of him in the kitchen mooching. Can you imagine your pet in the local restaurant mooching? At The Inn? He is very friendly and walks up to everyone. People are always calling me, in French naturally, asking me if he is lost. He also broke his leg while we were away. No problem. He just appeared at another office building where people have called me to let me know they just love having him visit and snooze the day away. Someone took him to the local veterinarian and thence to his own private suite in their home for the weekend. Poeple are big on fur coats here. We are talking about a rich city in a rich country. Fur coats in the supermarket. I even saw a woman, rather on the 60ish side, in matching fur coat and hat on her bike on the way to the market. A last couple of thoughts. As I walked home one day, I could hear the echos bouncing off the WHO building from an unidentified demonstration from in front of the United Nations. Now who but a person living in Geneva would experience that. One last thing. I sent home to the current Middle Street Gallery show (April 6-29, another “View of Geneva”, a sculpture which evidences (is that a word) my distaste for city living. The mountains may be bigger here, but they are not home. Easier to ski on though. Jeanne Drevas is a sculptor and potter who left her home in the F.T. Valley for a temporary stay in Switzerland.

Merlin Shorb Rappahannock Methodist Charge Flint Hillt Sperryville and Willis Chapel VIOLENCE: VICTIM OR VICTOR? From a purely human perspective the man Jesus was an innocent victim of violence. Just as his disciple Peter declared, "You killed the Author of Life..."(Acts 3:15) Yes, it was a Roman execution, but Jesus' death was also a murder by those who delivered-him up on false charges. How is it possible then for the victim of a violent act to emerge the victor, especially when the deed is terminal? At the very least one could only hope to be vindicated in the next life, and even then only at the Judgment. First of all, if Jesus was the impeccable character the New Testament witnesses claimed him to be, not only was he innocent of the specific charges, he was also innocent of all wrongdoing. Unlike the rest of us Jesus never sinned because he was not sinful, as we are. Because of our sinfulness, the tendency to play god, we deserve death. Death is primarily separation from God the source of life. Physical death is the perrenial symptom of the disease of sin, involving the whole person. For Jesus none of this applied. His rapport with God was unbroken and uncompromised. But not only was Jesus slain by the human element. A spirit world was also in rebellion. These "elemental spirits" are alluded to often enough by the authors. When these disavowed conspirators killed Jesus, they killed the only one in human history who didn't deserve to die. In this they overstepped themselves. Death originally entered our world through our sin. (Rom. 5:12) But on the sinless Jesus death could make no claim. (Acts 2:24) So, when they killed the Righteous One, they only succeeded in separating him from his physical body long enough to descend to the netherworld to defeat the terrorists and release their hostages. (Eph. 4:8-10) The innocent victim exposed the rebellious authorities (Col. 2:15) by showing all the world what they would do to anyone who refused to join their rebellion against God. They were impelled by the innocent life to show their true colors. But these evil powers were not only exposed; they were "disarmed." The stranglehold of death was finally relaxed at the cross of Jesus. (Rom. 8:1-2) The symptoms go on for now, but the isolation (death) is no longer necessary. Jesus, the truly innocent victim, has bridged the gap between God and humanity. However, it all came to light only in Jesus' own release from the dead. As Simon Peter had said, "You killed the Author of Life, but God raised him from the dead." The truly innocent victim emerged as victor on the first Easter. F*T.

Day REALTOR NEW WAYS TO FINANCE In addition to the well known adjustable and fixed rate mortgages, buyers can also choose from two new va riationsof them. Convertible ARNls are adjustable rate mortgages that can be converted into fixed rate loans Their rates are only a little higher than regular ARMS, but you can convert them to a fixed rate loan without paying high refinancing costs. Some limit the period of time during which they can be converted. Biweekly mortgages are fixed rate mortgages, but instead of one payment a month, you pay half as much every two weeks. So you actually pay the same as 13 monthly pay ments a year—thus paying off a 30 year loan in 20 years, 9 months, and saving a gre at deal of interest. These mort gages, not yet available every where, are increasing in popularity With all the varieties of mortgages, you should choose the type- that best meets your needs. We work very closely with mortage lenders and can help advise you. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY.

The incredible, edible egg oy n£iii£ji^ nr. aim i n Home Extension Afent This month two of the 4-H clubs who are studying foods and nutrition this year are learning about the egg at their April meetings and preparing omelets at their workshops. In addition, RCES will begin the 4-H Embryology Project after Easter as a classroom enrichment program. Even though the egg has received a lot of bad publicity in recent years because it contains cholesterol, that does not mean that everybody in the world has to take cholesterol (and eggs) out of their diet. The key — as always — is moderation. The American Heart Asso1 ciation advises limiting dietary cholesterol to 300 milligrams a day, including no more than four egg yolks a week. And remember, cholesterol is in the yolk; you can eat all the egg whites you want! (Note the recipe for White Egg Salad made with chutney that follows.) Nutrition Despite its recent reputation as a dietary villian, the egg still offers cheap, high-quality nutrition. Eggs make a worthwhile contribution to the nutrient content of diets. They are a source of protein, i HOMEECONOMICS iron, vitamin A and riboflavin, and are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D. Even though eggs are considered a powerhouse of nutrients they are not high in calories. One large egg has about 80 calories. Eggs are economical Economically speaking, eggs make a good alternative for meat, because of the amount and quality of their protein. Regardless of size, eggs are usually a good buy. A dozen large eggs weigh 24 ounces or 1-1/2 pounds. One serving (two eggs) weighs 1/4 pound. When you consider the price of a dozen eggs and figure the cost per pound or per serving compared to the cost per pound of meat, seafood, cheese or other high quality protei food, eggs are very reasonable. Ai other plus is that eggs contain n bone, little waste (only the shell) an no shrinkage during proper cooking For these reasons, eggs make a economical choice to serve as a mai dish if you are trying to cut down o your food bill. Eggs need not be liir ited to breakfast or brunch. Eg dishes such as omelets, eggs ber edict, quiche and cheese souffle - just to name a few — make deliciou entrees for a luncheon or dinne meal. Egg cookery The basic principle of egg cook ery is to cook eggs at a low to moder ate temperature for just the righ length of time — never overcook. Ii Dinner Bell -15 Lbs. Avg. Sliced FREE!

FOOD LION P n cooking eggs, heat coagulates and i- sets the protein and the egg becomes o firm. A properly cooked egg has a d tender white and a smooth yolk. If the cooking temperature is too high, a or the egg is cooked too long, the a protein shrinks, and makes the a white tough and the yolk mealy. Eggs can be cooked successfully ; in a microwave oven, but the technique is somewhat different. Microwave egg cookery has two main 3 problems. Because the yolk of an r egg contains fat and the white doesn’t, the yolk cooks faster. Also, an egg may explode as it cooks because internal pressure builds up very quickly during the rapid heating. Using half or one-third power t usually solves both these problems. ! Covering the egg with a cover, lid or plastic wrap or waxed paper as it cooks also encourages more even cooking. x nere are tnree exceptions to the reduced power rule: omelets, scrambled eggs and poached eggs. They cook well at Full or High power. For almost all other egg dishes the energy produced on High is simply too much, and the reduced power settings are recommended. A tip for egg dyeing Here are some tips about coloring Easter eggs from the Virginia Egg Council. For best results, clean the eggs by washing them in cold tap; water, but avoid using detergents, soaps or cleansers. Then cook them in enamel, glass or stainless steel pots. Most eggs today have been' washed, rinsed and coated with a' mineral oil spray, all of which protect eggs and keep them fresher longer. These solutions, however, tend to make egg dyeing more difficult. Washing the eggs and blown egg shells will often counteract the affects of these solutions. It also helps to add vinegar to the egg dye to counteract these solutions. Avoid the yolk ring In past Easters, have your hardcooked Easter eggs had a green ring-around-the-yolk? The discoloration is the result of iron from the yolk combining with sulfur from the white when eggs are cooked at too high a temperature or for too long a time or if the eggs haven’t been cooled quickly after the cooking is complete. While the ring-aroundthe-yolk may not look appealing, the eggs are still wholesome and nutritious, and the flavor is unaffected. For a bright, golden yolk, avoid overcooking and cool eggs quickly by dipping them in ice water. White egg salad 4 egg whites 2 tablespoons ’lite mayonnaise’ 1/2 teaspoon curry powder 2 tablespoons minced celery 2 tablespoons chopped chutney Combine all ingredients, cover and chill well. Serve, stuffed into tomatoes, artichokes, avocadoes, or simply on a bed of lettuce. Makes two servings. Chutney (From an Australian Midwife) 2 large onions, finely chopped 10 oz.

Add apples and raisins, the salt and ginger, the spices which have been tied in a bag, and just enough vinegar so it doesn’t burn. Cook gently until apples are soft. Add sugar and remaining vinegar. Stir well and boil until it thickens (with lid off). Remove spice bag. Pour into 4 or 5 jelly jars. To prepare jar, heat empty jars in 250 degrees oven for 1/2 hour, then pomhot chutney in. Top chutney with paraffin, or top with screw top and refrigerate. Yield: 4-5 jelly jars. Hash brown omelet 1/4 cup oil 2 cups raw potatoes, grated 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1/2 teaspoon salt Pepper 4 eggs (lightly beaten) Brown potatoes and onion in hot oil in skillet. Beat eggs with salt and pepper and pour over potatoes and onion mixture. Let set and serve immediately. Serves two.

Poetry series continues By ANNE FURTICK Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Again this coming Tuesday, April 17, the poetry discussion series, “Modem American Poets: Their Voices and Visions,” will be held at the Rappahannock County High School. This session will focus on e.e. cummings. There has been excellent attendance at the groups each week, and the discussions after the film presentations have been thoughtful and lively. We now know how Jon Heddleston, the program’s moderator and an English teacher at RCHS, has “turned on” high school students to poetry and literature. Those who come regularly say that they leave the programs with a better understanding of the poetry and personality of the poet featured, as well as a sense of comraderie with the others who attended the seminar. The last session of the series, on Tuesday, April 24, will be devoted to poetry written by Rappahannock and Wakefield High School students. This should not only be a most interesting evening but also should give every member of the commu mty pride in the talent and depth of accomplishments of our local high school students. Do come and share with them a most special evening. The public is invited to attend both of these meetings. They begin at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium; there is no admission charge. Books being used for the series are still available at the Rappahannock County Library. For more information, call the library (675-3780). The series is sponsored as a joint project by the county library and Rappahannock County High School.

This technique avoids the problem of aerial drift of the insecticide and allows specific trees to be treated, thus avoiding unwanted spraying. One product with a general-use registration, which is available to homeowners for implantation in trees for gypsy moth control, is Acecap (Reg. T.M. of Creative Sales, Inc., Fremont, NE 68025). Acecaps are small gelatin capsules that contain the organophosphate insecticide acephate, known as Orthene (Reg. T.M. of Chevron Chem. Co.). Each capsule contains 0.902 grams of formulation with a high portion of active ingredient (97 percent, turns a total of 0.875 grams acephate) and care should be taken when handling the capsules. The applicator should wear rubber gloves. Orthene has a rat oral LD50 of 866 and a rabbit dermal LD50 of 2,000. The gelatin capsules are sealed to deter tampering and the gelatin cap sule itself is sealed within a plastic cartridge. To implant the Acecaps, holes are drilled in a spiral pattern in the lower trunk of the tree about four inches apart. The holes are drilled 3/8 inch in diameter to a depth of 1 1/4 inch below the cambium surface; more information is provided on the label. Holes are drilled to insure the insecticide can move into the phloem and the outer xylem rings of the tree. The number of holes depends on the size of the tree (one hole per 10 cm or four inches of trunk circumference, be drilled although placement may vary with the branching pattern of the tree if large branches are present). It is recommended to drill holes in a spiral pattern to insure the tree will not be girdled. One capsule is tamped into each hole. The capsules are left in the tree. The acephate is released slowly and may provide more than one year’s control. Healthy trees should have little problem with wound closure and the drilled hole usually heals within one season, although the possibility of splits in the wood exists. The manufacturer recommends that no wound dressing be applied. On trees less than 10 foot tall or with few than 8 inch diameter at breast high, these caps should not be used because of possible trunk damage. • ■ Apphchtions should be timed for the upward flow of tree sap in order to git the most material up to the leaves. Maximum upward flow will vary from tree to tree and from year to year depending on climatic conditions. Research in Virginia Tech has showrt that implantation at initial bud-bfteak will work well; and work in Pennsylvania and Maryland has good / results when timing treatmeuta from two weeks prior to budbreak to j>ost bud break. Treerbyections should be used on ornamental and shade trees only and not on trees used for fruit, nuts or syrup. As with all pesticides, read the label before using a compound. Leaves should not be used for mulch: .

Borgens to test mettle in Boston Marathon By RICK HENRY Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer For a baseball player, it’s the World Series; for a football player it’s the Super Bowl and for a golfer it’s the Masters—events that stand asrthe pinnacle of their respective sports. For the long-distance runner that event is the Boston Marathon and on April 16, John Borgens will culminate his sporting dream by competing in the prestigious race that begins in historic Hopkinton. Borgens, a 37-year old Rappahannock County resident and head of Family Focus, a family counseling service with offices in Warrenton, Rappahannock and Madison counties, has already competed in 19 marathons, including three appearances in the New York Marathon. Last November, in his last run through the streets of New York City, Borgens finished the 26-mile course in a time of 3 hours, 14 minutes, 12 seconds, breaking the Boston qualifying barrier of 3:15:00 and making him eligible for the upcoming race. According to Borgens, who had Take Out \m% theft RriVWaw , No Closing Cost Through April 30 Thanks to recent federal legislation, you can now deduct all the interest paid on home equity loans of $100,000 or less. * And with the government rapidly reducing the deductibility of other types of loans, a home equity loan makes even more sense.

He has been putting in approximately 90 miles a week, running every day. But come this weekend, Borgens will began decreasing his mileage . “A week or so before the race I will only run about eight miles and then I will taper off each day, until I’m not running at all two or three days before the race,” he said. The reason for this strategy, Borgens said, is so he will have increased energy the day of the event. “When your body is used to putting out that much energy on a daily basis, it makes you full of energy when you stop awhile,” he said. “You tend to bounce off the walls for awhile, but you’re fresh when the race begins.” Borgens began running 10 years ago as a way to get in shape and as an emotional outlet. He said that running is very therapeutic and provides him with an opportunity to sort out problems, generate ideas and clear his mind. He also stressed the positive aspects of running in Rappahannock County. “Rappahannock is a beautiful place to run, ’ he said. “I usually just get lost in my thoughts and the scenery.” “Running is similar to sailing in that you’re out there alone with nature and your mind is clear.” When it comes to competing in the actual races, Borgens said there are many things a runner must concentrate on. “You have to pay attention to what is going on,” he said. “Your rhythym, your stride, your arm positioning are all important factors.” The most important factor ispace. A 3:15:00 marathon averages out to a 7'/2 minute per mile pace. Borgens said that he tries to run each of the miles within 30 seconds of each other. “If you come out at the start and run a five-minute mile, you’ll be exhausted by the 10-mile mark,” he said. “The key is to try and pace each mile as evenly as possible.” “It’s easy to run too fast at the beginning of the race, so you have to consciously discipline yourself to run at your own pace.” If a runner starts out too slowly, he will also have trouble, Borgens said. “It is almost impossible to pick up a lot of time at the end of the. race," he said. “If you get off your normal pace it’s probably because, you are worn down so you are not going to be able to pick up the slack over the last few miles.” Not surprisingly, Borgens said that the last six miles are the most difficult. “That’s what all the trainr ing is for, so those last few miles don’t devestate you. ” “The middle miles can be draining as well, especially when you start looking ahead,” he said. “When you start thinking 'hurry up and get here 20-mile mark’ you’re in trouble.” Borgens said he experiences various degrees of soreness after finishing a grueling event, though sometimes the so-called “runner’s high” takes over and the soreness is minimal. “After I qualified (for Boston) in the New York Marathon I was so euphoric that the people who were with me and I walked around the city for hours after the race celebrating,” he said. “But normally, the harder you train, the less you hurt after a race.” Borgens finished in slightly below 2,000th place in the NY Marathon, a position that may not sound like much until one considers that over 22,000 people were entered in the race, placing Borgens in the top 10 percent of all competitors. i FIRST ANNIVERSARY I---1 SALE l All Grand Manor UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE More Than 30^> | OTHER ITEMS ON SALE FOR ADDITIONAL SAVINGS uaK PEDESTAL TABLE WITH 4 PRESS BACK SIDE CHAIRS $579" SAVE $100!

Bourke captures two wins at Ben Venue steeplechase Weather forces postponement, but Old Dominion races run in the sun a dau late By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspapers Equestrian Editor In the war of the Irishmen, David Bourke’s Wake Up Call came out on top in the owner-rider hurdle contest, one of 11 races at the Old Dominion Hunt Point-to-Point April 8. The ineet had originally been scheduled for the previous day, but after rain and snow hit Rappahannock County on Friday, the organizers decided to run it Sunday to let the turf dry out some. Jolly River and William Russell galloped eight lengths ahead of Bourke at the wire, but stewards determined Wake Up Call to be the official winner. According to Russell, Bourke lodged a claim of foul due to interference upon landing after the fourth fence. Solo Orbit, the only other starter, was third with Don Yovanovich. Bourke also piloted the Charlie Fenwick-trained Peer Prince to an open hurdle victory, lengthening his four-length advantage over Essayer at the last to seven at the wire. Essayer, Woods Winants up, was second and Sampson Hall, Hilary Thorpe up, third. “This was his first start over plastics,” said Bourke, who added that the Dogwood Stable horse came from England just three months ago. Topeador surprised no one by jumping Henry Wood to his fourth owner-rider timber victory this year. “You can put away your stick, Henry. You’ve won this one,” blasted announcer Will O’Keefe as the pair galloped down the stretch. Warrenton-Piedmont winner Sir Fieldmont was second, Will Russell’s News Special third and Eve Fout’s Four Indians with son Doug fourth. Two fallers — Midnight Moves (Bill Osier) and Dr. Brice (Brian Fitzgerald) — completed the field. Piedmont winner Redskin Chief made it two in a row for lady rider Lilith Wilson, galloping a good eight lengths ahead of pace setter The Printer with Michele Rouse. The two horses led the field throughout most of the race, drawing away from the other four horses by the ninth of eighteen fences. By the fourteenth Redskin Chief had had enough, so he went to the front Video program target AIDS Youth Film Festival on AIDS will be held at the Promise Land Baptist Church on Saturday, April 21 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The film festival is part of the Project M.O.R.E. AIDS education outreach to minority youth. “The film festival is the first event planned by Rappahannock County volunteers,” reported Charlotte Freeman, a volunteer for Project M.O.R.E. “The program is to help youth be aware AIDS is out there and how they can avoid it.” “AIDS is not prevalent in Rappahannock County but the AIDS epidemic is as close as Washington, D.C. In a few years many youth will be heading for college, or better job markets. The time to educate is before there’s a real danger,” explained Mrs. Freeman. “Youth often do foolish things they ‘know’ are not right. Teenagers feel invincible, that nothing can happen to them. These videos help to bring home the real danger of AIDS,” added Mrs. Freeman. “The primary message emphasized is to avoid AIDS — don’t Shoot drugs and postpone sex until you are in the committed relationship of marriage. The videos also are a plea for the compassionate understanding of and help to persons living with a devastating disease,” Mrs. Freeman said of the films. The videos to be shown have been reviewed and approved the Virginia Department of Health. The Videos to be shown are ‘“Til Death Do Us Part” by the Everyday Theater Youth, “Teen AIDS in Focus” by the San Francisco Department of Health, “Don’t Forget Sherrie” by the American Red Cross, and “Black People Get AIDS, Too” by the Multicultural Resource Project Center. Included in the program is singing by the Young Christian Men’s Chorus, prayer, a discussion and question period lead by Sarah Jane Lee, Health Educator for Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, and refreshments.

Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan RIDING TO VICTORY aboard Ice Hawk (#30), Patrick Worrall won the first division of the fifth race. He held off Hilary Thorpe (# 15) on Annie’s Exchange. and never looked back despite The Printer’s chasing behind. “We chipped and chiseled over the last,” said Wilson, “and I said, ‘You better stand up, you booger!’” Kuujjuaq rallied impressively a quarter of a mile from home, closing in on Rouse down the stretch, but The Printer proved a half-length faster at the wire, leaving Maryland rider Liz Mcknight to settle for third. Gill Connors on Mighty Delight was fourth. Shelly Malone’s Ten Bar galloped to the novice timber winners’ circle with Yves Henry aboard. The Albert Poe-trained horse secured the lead early on, chased by Mike’s Marauder, Brooks Durkee up, who was later joined by Dreadnaught with Yovanovich. Ten Bar enjoyed a seven-length advantage at the last, but he had to stay awake to outdo Mike’s Maraud ENJOYING THE PERFECT spring day, A. Stephen Kelly of Upperville was among the many spectators at Ben Venue last Sunday. er’s impressive run down the stretch. It was still Ten Bar’s victory by two lengths, with Dreadnaught another thirteen lengths back. According to Malone, Ten Bar had been jumping badly, hurting himself last August. Albert Poe took over and hunted him all season, returning the horse to good jumping form. Patrick Worrall added another race to his roster when the Doug Worrall-trained Ice Hawk took the first division of maiden hurdles by four lengths over Symphony Sid, Chuck Muzzy up. According to Margaret Worrall, Maryland breeder and trainer Oliver Goldsmith’s 8-year-old is a stakes winner on the flat, having won over $200,fiOO. His first start was at Marlborough, where Patrick guided him over the unfamiliar fences that littered his way as he galloped. Bay Cockbum added points to his leading rider advantage when he and Pelo’s Luck eked out a halflength advantage over Governor’s Bay with Woods Winants in the second division of. maiden hurdles. Third and fourth place finishers Tillo (Patrick Worrall) and Blue Arab (M.S. McLear) finished right with them in a pack. “He won the race at the last,” said Cockburn. “He just stood back of the wings and sailed. Once he got to the front, he wouldn’t let anyone pass.” It was the horse’s first win of three starts. Eben Sutton’s Uncle Reg reigns king of the foxhunter’s, his Old Dominion victory adding yet another five points to his 13-point standing. In this race Spice with Dell Ennis galloped within striking distance of Uncle Reg, but when Ennis lost his stirrup and pulled up, that left Uncle Reg miles ahead of Marlin LeGore’s Miss Moncacy. The Yovanovich-trained Brat, Bruce Daley up, and Slate Mills with Jerry Glass took the two divisions of rider opportunity races. Daley also took the first division of the turf race aboard Hilliate, with Lithograph and Gerry Newman securing second. RESULTS FOXHUNTERS RACE. 5:48.3. 1. Uncle Reg, Eben Sutton. 2. Miss Moncacy.

Insurance Continued from page 1 scriber’s rate for county employees in the coming year. This would be an increase of 11.6 percent, he said. However, even if the county’s contribution did not increase at all it would pay for 90 percent of a county employee’s single subscriber rate. The School Board accepted Dr. Gangel’s recommendation that he poll employees to see whether more wanted to join the “comprehensive plan” or the more expensive “basic plan.” He said that if some were to elect one and some another all rates would increase an additional five percent. The School Board also agreed with Dr. Gangel’s recommendation not to release SAT scores of Rappahannock’s students. The state had requested the scores for its Edcation Performance Recognition Program, the program which is due to replace ihe Administrative Review. The state wants to use SAT scores as one of the “performance indicators” with which to evaluate Rappahannock schools in comparison to other schools lumped with Rappahannock for this purpose, Dr. Gangel said. “I have a problem with turning this information over to the state,” he said. “The students pay for this. It is our policy to encourage as many as possible to take it. We know that they may not all be successful. I recommend that we treat this with benign neglect. Several other school divisions are doing the same thing.” The board members also went home with copies of the 156-page Special Education Plan that included an additional 61 supporting documents. This plan is to be acted on at the May meeting. Pupil Personnel Director Margarita Piper said the plan, which has to be formally adopted each year, had had “a complete revision because Federal regualtions changed. Our plan is the direct result of these guidelines. We’re not allowed to be creative.” Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell gave another report on leaking roofs. At the elementary school leaks had recently appeared in one classroom, the gym, the office, and possibly the cafeteria. He said that he felt the manufacturer would repair these leaks under warranty. At the high school, leaks had again appeared on the stage in the 1 auditorium. This roof is not covered j by warranty, he said. He said he had ' received a “polyurethane” material to use to patch the roof. i When the county asked all divi- | sions of the government to submit i r requests for capital improvements needed in the next five years for the capital improvements program, Dr. Gangel said $25,000 would be needed to replace that roof, but that expense was cut from the budget submitted to the Board of Supervisors. The board also heard fourth grade teacher Amy Wolf report that all fourth graders will be participating in a science project with NASA. The board also learned that although enrollment dropped steadily each year from 1980 to 1987, it has now leveled off. In 1980 Average Daily Membership was 1,162. By 1987 ADM had dropped to 917. It increased to 937 in 1988, but dropped again to 919 in 1989. ADM this year is 921. In other action, the School Board: • accepted the resignations of teachers Carla Scott, Jill Marks, and Richard Dietz. • learned that a banquet will be held May 15 to dedicate the computer labs at both schools with officials from Potomac Edison and Apple Computer Company as invited guests. • voted to apply for bank time in case it is needed next year for days missed in school due to bad weather. • learned that efforts are underway to offer a masters degree program to teachers locally. Revenue Continued from page 1 The budget approved by the Fauquier School Board is up 20.3 percent from this year. Warren County’s school budget would increase 15.2 percent if their supervisors approve. Culpeper’s school budget is up 9.8 percent; Page County’s school budget is up 9.2 percent, and Madison’s is up 8.8 percent. In Rappahannock’s school budget, state funds are a smaller percentage of next year’s budget than this year’s: 29.5 percent compared to 34.2 percent. Only Fauquier’s budget shows a similar trend. Next year state funds will account for 21.3 percent of its budget, compared to 24.8 percent this year. In the four other surrounding counties state funds as a percentage of the budget are due to increase: from 38.7 percent to 40.1 percent in Culpeper County; from 41.4 percent to 41.6 percent in Warren County; from 51.4 percent to 54.3 percent in Page County, and from 42.7 percent to 46.3 percent in Madison County. Despite seeming parity with Fauquier, however, only Rappahannock County shows an actual decrease in dollar amounts for state funds for next year from $1.4 million Race Continued from page 1 awards were promised “with a ne1 flair” this year. The Eva L. Smith Memorial Trc phy is another prized Fodderstac tradition. The Smith Memorial i awarded to the first male and femal Rappahannock County runner to fir ish, and honors the late Eva L Smith, who was instrumental in or ganizing the first Fodderstack Clas 3ic in 1978. “She was a delightful lady wh felt that a race along the Fodders tack Road would be successful,” Ms Lillard said, adding that Mrs Smith’s son was an avid runner, giv ng her the idea for the race. Last year’s Smith Memorial win lers, Frank Reynolds and Nim Stamer, are expected to defend thei ;itles once again. For Mr. Reynolds he 1990 race will be a benchmark is he seeks his tenth consecutivi Smith Memorial award.

Those re^ cords: 31:26 for men set by Steve Pis nard of Hartwood in 90 degree heat e in 1985; and 36:46 for women, set by Winchester’s Kim Belyea in 1984, have resisted challengers since. The hilly course, which winds through apple orchards and picturj esque farmland, was named as one of the top 75 10 kilometer races in the country by Running Times magazine in 1987. Despite its difficulty, ' however, the race attracts competitors of all ages: from nine to 70. Following the race, an awards i ceremony and informal get-together • is held on the steps of the court, house. For more information, or to request a registration form for the race, call the county Building and Zoning Office in Washington (675S31t2). Forms are also available in most local general stores. this year to $1.3 million for next year, a decrease of eight percent. State funds are expected to increase 3.4 percent in Fauquier County, 13.5 percent in Culpeper County, 15.7 percent in Warren County, 15.3 percent in Page County, and 18.1 percent in Madison County. Two factors account for this decrease, Superintendent David Gangel said. The first is declining enrollment. A large portion of the funds from the state is “Basic State Aid.” These funds are based on average daily membership (ADM). The actual amounts are determined after reports are sent to the state in April, which compute the ADM through the month of March. For the past two years Dr. Gangel has been building his budget based on an estimated ADM that is higher than the state has estimated for Rappahannock. For those same two years, actual ADM has been lower than he estimated, and after school began he realized that state funds wwould be lower than estimated. That forced cuts deeper into the budget during the past two school years. During this current school year, the shortfall forced freezes on funds for instructional materials and supplies at both schools and in the central office. With that experience, Dr. Gangel decided for the coming school year to base his budget on the state’s estimate of Rappahannock’s ADM for next year, which is 904. The actual ADM as of March for this year is 921, up two from last year’s ADM of 919. Dr. Gangel said last week that if it turns out that next year’s ADM will be over 904, he can ask the Board of Supervisors for an increase in his budget next fall. The other factor that causes Rappahannock’s revenues from the state to be lower next year than this year is that a new formula ranks Rappahannock County as one of the wealthier counties in the state and thus eligible for less help from the state. The formula is based on real estate sales, sales tax collected, and incomes reported. Rappahannock ranks particularly high because of real estate sales. Rappahannock is also the only school division in the area to show a lower amount in the budget coming from the federal government. All surrounding school systems show an increase in funds expected from the federal government, although several show, like Rappahannock, a lower percentage of the budget de rived from federal funds. At this stage in the budget process, however, federal funds can only be estimated. The budget of the federal government has not yet passed Congress. Dr. Gangel said he would expect to ask the supervisors to add to his budget if more federal funds become available. Because Rappahannock receives relatively less in state funds, more of the budget must come from local taxes. For next year the percentage of the budget derived from local taxes is due to increase from 51 percent to 54.5 percent. Fauquier’s budget shows a similar increase in the local proportion of the budget, from 58.1 percent this year to 63.3 percent next year. Warren County’s budget also shows an increase in the local proportion, from 35.9 percent this year to 38.8 percent next year. In the other surrounding counties the percentage of the school budget coming from local taxes is due to decrease: from 45.9 percent to 44.9 percent in Culpeper County; from 30.6 percent to 28'percent in Page County, and from 42 percent to 38.5 percent in Madison County.

Peterson Continued from page 1 nearly every conceivable side. After he graduated from school, he worked for the Commonwealth of Virginia as a bank examiner. The state has jurisdiction over all statechartered institutions, such as the State Bank of Remington. < He also worked for United Virginia Bank (now Crestar) in Richmond before going into the consulting business. Mr. Peterson is a native of Roanoke, and most of his family still lives in that area. “I got tired of the rat-race,” he said when asked why he decided to move to a small bank in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He sold his consulting business and left the metropolitian suburbs. “I wanted to get back to a simpler, saner lifestyle.” Though many people told him they envied his position as head of his own company, Mr. Peterson said, in reality it sometimes left him with less control than when he was working for someone else.
