Pilot project at child care center gives four-year-olds a head start By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two little girls have been attending preschool this summer because of a grant the Child Care and Learning Center received from the state. They are part of a group of six children that CCLC director Rose Ann Sharp expects to grow to 17 before the grant runs out next summer. Since last Friday was a beautiful, late summer day, they spent a lot of time playing on the “big playground” in back of the school. They took an imaginary train ride on the wooden train. They visited the zoo on their ride and saw zebras and elephants and lions. Inside, in the school’s big multipurpose room, one built with blocks while the other jumped on the minitrampoline. They made pictures, listened to stories, and played dress up. Outside again after a nap they had a snack of watermelon, and one played at the water table while the other very neatly put small symbols between the lines on a sheet of paper, a note to her mother about her upcoming trip to the beach. They like going to school so they can play with their friends, and while they are there, they are learning small and large motor skills, colors and numbers and how to get along with other children. Mrs. Sharp explained that the state set up a pool of money for localities that do not have Head Start programs funded by the federal government to propose similar programs for serving four-year olds. Rappahannock is one of 47 counties and 15 cities in the state which do not have Head Start. Mrs. Sharp’s proposal to use grant funds to serve approximately 17 “at risk” four-year olds in a pilot project is one of five projects which were funded this year. The state’s Council on Child Day Care and Early Childhood Programs, which distributed the money, funded another seven grants for research on starting such projects Mrs. Sharp said. Since getting the grant in July, Mrs. Sharp has been working with the county’s health and social services departments and the Literacy Volunteers to identify children who qualify for the program. Six children so far have been picked up and added to the center’s three and four-year old class. Like the majority of the other children at the center they are there all day and are “mainstreamed” with the other children. Mrs. Sharp says she anticipates adding about two children a month to the program until the target of 17 children has been reached. The center has purchased a van and has also employed an additional teacher and teacher’s aide to help with the additional children. The van is being used to provide transportation for children in the new program and also for field trips for all the students, Mrs. Sharp said. The program works with the family as well as the child, visiting to talk about issues of child care, nutrition and health. “Some of these children were desperately isolated,” Mrs. Sharp said. “It’s been a real eye-opener to go into their homes.” She said she was grateful for the opportunity to work with the other See GRANT, p. 12 \jf ^Citing fraud changes filed Inn s owner among four implicated By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer Reinhardt Lynch, 42, co-owner of the world-famous Inn at Little Washington, was charged last week with a violation of Virginia’s voting laws in connection with the town’s election on May 2. According to an affadavit filed in Rappahannock County General District Court, Sheriffs Department Capt. Ed Streapy stated “My investigation revealed that Reinhardt Lynch did procure, assist, council (sic) or advise another to vote, in the town of Washington election on or about May 2, 1990 knowing such person was not duly qualified to vote where and when the vote was given.” Charged along with Mr. Lynch were Alan Rene Margreithor, 20, David William Howard, 35, and Eric Matthew Schwier, 33. The three were charged with voting in an election district in which they did not reside. All were employed at The Inn at Little Washington at the time. The arrest warrants listed Mr. Margreithor’s present address as Route 622, Washington, Mr. Howard’s address as Route 647, Flint Hill, and Mr. Schwier’s address as Route 646, Amissville. The three voted by absentee ballots in the town’s election. According to General Registrar Nancy Leake, Mr. Margreithor gave his address as the Sisk House on Main Street, and Mr. Howard and Mr. Schwier said they lived in the Post Office Building, also on Main Street. On the list of absentee voters posted in the Registrar’s Office, Mr. Margreithor’s address is listed as P.O. Box 523, Washington; Mr. Howard listed Main St., Washington; and Mr. Schwier gave his address as P.O. Box 385, Washington. Mrs. Leake explained that, when an individual registers to vote, they must state, under oath, their residence and that they are eligible to vote in the district in which they register. “On absentee ballots it is really stressed,” she added, with three different applications which must be filled out and signed by the applicant. See FRAUD, p. 12 No charges filed in fatal wreck By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer No charges will be filed in the accident Aug. 5 on U.S. 211 in Culpeper County which killed two children, according to Virginia State Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell. Ms. Caldwell said only that Trooper E.J. Weaver has completed his investigation into the one-car accident and that he will not place charges against the driver, Melodi A. Goldston, 26, of Manassas. The first statement issued by Ms. Caldwell, based on Trooper Weaver’s accident report, said that alcohol and excessive speed were suspected as the cause of the accident. According to Trooper Weaver’s report, Ms. Goldston was westbound on U.S. 211 about 1/2 mile east of the U.S. 229 intersection at Clevenger’s Corner when her car ran off the left shoulder of the road and struck the guardSee FATAL, p. 12 Reading for content is aim of new high school program By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer It was yet another muggy late August day as high school teachers gathered in the library last Tuesday for an in-service day spent on “Reading in the Content Area,” and all the fans were going. Joy Moody, Associate Director of the University of Virginia’s Reading to Learn Project, had come to conduct the inservice. She is soft voiced and some of the fans had to be turned off. The teachers were ready to learn what they can do to promote one of the school system’s goals, improved reading proficiency, when a lawn mower started up just outside a door that had been propped open to allow air to circulate. Laughter greeted this interruption. The lawnmower operator was encouraged to operate elsewhere, and Ms Moody told the teachers the goal of the “Reading to Learn” project is to “empower students to become independent learners.” She started by asking the teachers working in small groups to describe their most successful lessons and then to describe the characteristics which were common to those successful lessons. When the groups shared the results of their discussions, they agreed that successful lessons were those with a lot of student involvement in which students were responsible for the success of the lesson and in which they had an opportunity to experience success. They were also lessons which were on subjects of interest to the students or teacher, involved more than one academic area or where students used a variety of their senses to learn. Ms. Moody said that research shows that most people remember 10 percent of what they hear, 40 percent of what they read and 70 percent of what they say. She contrasted the successful lessons with the usual lecture format, when the teacher remembers 70 percent of what she says and the students retain only 10 percent. It is futile to try to teach everything that is important, she said. “Schools exist not only for the purpose of making students more learned, but for the purpose of making them better learners and thinkers.” “Reading is the realization of meaning, not just the recognition of words,” she said. In applying these assumptions to the actual classroom lessons, Ms Moody recommended a three stage process for reading assignments. Start with finding out what the students already know, she said. She suggested brainstorming and making up check lists as two possible activities to do in anticipation of actual reading. “This will help to establish a purpose for reading,’1 she said. She suggested that during the actual reading students have specific things they are looking for and that they could lightly mark in the books as they are reading. “They need to be engaged so that the reading process becomes a thinking process, not just an eye process,” she said. Following the actual reading there should be a “contemplation” process, with students discovering how their reading has altered or challenged what they previously knew, Ms Moody said. She warned that students tend to resist this kind of instruction because it gives them more responsibility for their own learning. “It’s particularly hard for acaSee READING, p. 12 A teacher's welcome Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan OFF TO SCHOOL, kindergartners (from left) John Critzer, Jessie Keyser and Tony Starks get an escort to class from teacher Nina Norman.

New regulations for private wells New regulations governing the location and construction of private wells went into effect in Virginia on Sept. 1. The purpose of the regulations is to protect public health as well as ground water by reducing the potential for contamination, according to the state health department. The regulations will not apply to existing wells. They cover all nonpublic wells under construction after Sept. 1. This includes wells for household, ground water source heat pump, agricultural and industrial use. The regulations require a permit for the drilling of private wells. The fee for a permit is $25. Permits will be issued by the Department of Health when a VDH inspection and evaluation shows the well site meets minimum distance requirements from all known sources of contamination. Some of the possible sources of contamination include septic systems, termite-treated structures, barnyards and sewer lines. The regulations also provide an appeals process for permits that are denied. Construction requirements are covered in the regulations. These establish minimum casing and grouting specifications as well as material specifications for major well components. VDH sanitarians will be making site visits to ensure that these specifications are met. After construction, all private wells used for drinking water will be required to meet water quality standards. Abandonment of private wells is VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT RCIIS RCHS offers three major programs of Vocational Education to students.

Lady Panthers 'focused, disciplined' By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Coach Renee Leake senses dedication in her Lady Panthers basketball team “more than ever” this year. “They are starting to realize what dedication and commitment it takes to be winners,” the coach said during a break from pre-season practice last week. “I feel real positive about the season.” With a core of returning players from last year’s team and several promising newcomers, Coach Leake said the girls’ effort during tryouts has demonstrated their dedication. Four seniors returned from last year’s squad, giving the team important experience and continuity. Stephanie Jones will play at the center forward position, and should be a “key person” for the team this year. She is the strongest rebounder, the coach said, and has worked hard on her inside game. “It has improved tremendously.” Deena Hitt is contending for a starting guard position. She has a strong outside shot, and Coach Leake said in pre-season practices Deena has concentrated on her ballhandling. Edna Shanks “hustles more than anybody” on the team, the coach said. Her defensive efforts are also “very aggressive,” and she is also in contention for a place as a starting guard. Susan bates rounds out the returning seniors as a versatile player who can fill both forward and guard positions. She is the most improved player, Coach Leake said, and also among the most dedicated. Susan stays after practices to lift weights and jump rope, and the effort “shows in her improvement.” Coach Leake said she will probably start at forward, although her 5’10” height makes her a threat in the guard’s spot as well. Tasha Roy is a junior returning from last year’s squad. She too can play both forward and guard, and is a threat shooting from both inside and outside. The team’s best ball handler, she is a “key offensive person,” Coach Leake is working to teach Tasha the principles of defensive play too. Sherron Boddie, another junior, also has a nice outside shot with a good touch, the coach said. She is working toward a starting position as a forward. Coach Leake said her good attitude and willingness to work on her defensive skills have helped her as well. Emma Swatman, a sophomore, moved up to varsity from the JV team this season. She is a good ball handler and a good outside shooter who is “putting the finishing touches on her game.” Coach Leake predicted she will see a lot of time at wing or point position, as well as contending for a starting spot as a guard. Ane Zorriqueta, a senior exchange student from Spain, is working hard to learn the American brand of basketball, Coach Leake said. She is a good ball handler who has spent the pre-season practices working on her shooting touch.

Day REALTOR BUY DOWN HAZARDS Buy downs are designed for buyers who are having trou ble qualifying for a mortgage, but expect their income to in crease over time. Typically, the developer or seller will contrib ute a lump sum to a fund that is used, literally to “buy down' the mortgage rate. Let’s say you can't afford the payments at 12%, but can afford a 9% loan. So the bank qualifies you at 9% and every month withdraws enough money from the buy down ac count to cover the diffenence between your payment (base on 9% ) and what it should be at the market rate (12% in this ex ample). The advantage is that you get to buy the house The disadvantage is. the buy down lasts only until the funds are ex hausted (usually somewhere between l and 3 years). Then the rate pops up to 14% . Unfortunately, life doesn't always go as planned. Income growth may be slower than ex pected. If you are considering a buydown, make sure you know the risks as well as the benefits involved.

Were here to help Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter MEMBERS OF THE Lady Panthers’ varsity team brave August heat during a pre-season practice session last week. % Leah Marlett, a freshman who at 5’11” is the tallest member of the team, brings a strong rebounding force to the team. The coach said she is working to change her shot, taking advantage of Leah’s height to keep the ball overhead. Leah will see playing time at the center and forward positions. Diana Hudson is a senior who tried out for the team for the first time this season. “I wish she had played every year/’ was Coach Leake’s observation. Diana is a quick learner who will definitely help the team this year. She is ready to contribute where ever she can, and by mid-season may be challenging for a starting guard spot, the coach predicted. Coach Leake said that, overall, she feels the team has already proved its resolve by the dedication shown during two weeks of practice in the gym during hot and muggy August. “They’ve practiced three Scholastic sports With the beginning of the school year, Rappahannock County High School has also begun its fall sports season.

Despite losing the scrimmage, the coach said, she felt optimistic about the team’s effort. It was the Panthers’ first game of the season, while it was Madison’s third outing. After the graduation of standout Susie Dearing last year, Coach Leake has stressed a team effort for the coming season. This season Page, Central and Strasburg represent the top teams in the Bull Run District. “Strasburg is probably the toughest,” Coach Leake said. The Panthers face a disadvantage due to a lack of a youth basketball program and the school’s small size. . But the team’s spirit makes up for that lack, she said, pointing to last season’s record. “We went 8-8 and beat some teams with summer programs .. . That goes to show how hard the girls work. “The dedication is there,” she said of the team. “They are focused and disciplined. Everybody has a team camaraderie — they work together.” r Chef O'Connell creates recipe for Claiborne Chef Patrick O Connell of The Inn at Little Washington was among the chefs invited by New York Times food writer and cookbook author Craig Claiborne to his 70th birthday party in Monaco. Mr. Claiborne, who celebrated his birthday Sept. 4, was asked to compile a list of his favorite chefs in the world to join him in this threeday event at the Hotel de Paris. Mr. O’Connell and his partner, Reinhardt Lynch, were among the guests invited to what is being called !*the dinner of the decade,” according to a spokesman for The Inn at Little Washington. Guide Micheiin three-star Chef Alain Ducasse of the Louis XV in Monte Carlo is preparing the blacktie birthday dinner in what has been referred to as “Europe’s most opulent restaurant.” Asked by his host, the Prince of Monaco, what he wanted as a birthday present, Mr. Claiborne requested “a hand-written favorite recipe from each of the chefs in attendance." A book was created containing all the recipes for presentation to the veteran writer. Chef O’Connell’s contribution was entitled “Heart of Gold,” a heart-shaped, peach flavored coeur a la creme covered with 24-carat edible gold leaf. The Inn was also asked to bring one of Virginia’s famous country hams, which was specially cured and supplied by Tom’s Meat Market of Culpeper, owned by Tom Calhoun. Mr. Claiborne’s birthday party is being covered by the New York Times and French television, among others. The renowned food writer spent his 65th birthday at The Inn at Little Washington. Roberts Bros. Circus coining to Flint Hill Roberts Bros. Three Ring Circus under the Big Top is on its way to Flint Hill. Circus Day will be Thursday, Sept. 20 when the circus will set up at Flint Hill carnival grounds to perform at 7 p.m. under the sponsorship of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department, which will benefit from every ticket sold. The circus is on its 17th annual tour and mixed in with animals, clowns, jugglers and acrobats, this year’s edition of the circus has an exceptionally outstanding group of aerialists. Featured this year high up in the Big Top will be trapeze artist Denise Earl, who became a circus performer as a labor of love. That is, her husband Edward Earl is related to the family who owns the circus. He became the lot superintendent in charge of putting up the Big Top each day. Denise, a young bride of 19, was given a job selling tickets. She’s not the type to be standing outside when the band is playing inside. She wasn’t on the show long until she found ways to be a part of the performance. She became the pretty t girl who gets sawn in half by the magicians, who puts a pony through its paces in time with the music, who helped dress up the jugglers act, handing him his props, and did any other performing chore that needed doing. But her eyes were looking up. Between shows and during the early afternoon before show time when the aerial rigging was just invitingly hanging there, Denise started to work out. The other girls on the show gave encouraging advice, but it was up to Denise to make it work. Little by little she did. Today she is a tall, very slim showgal with shoulder development the envy of Miss Universe and she is an aerial trapeze performer with a lot of sweat equity in her graceful act. You’ll see her several times during the performances of Roberts Bros. Circus when the family show appears, mixed in with the trained animals, the clowns, the jugglers, the acrobats and the magician and the comedian, all presented with the special music which makes a trip to the circus lot a memorable occasion for “children of all ages.” Correction Due to a mistake in the production process, the front page photo of the county’s new teachers in last week’s edition was re versed.

On Saturday evening, the Middle Street Gallery will sponsor a panel discussion, “Sacred Cows: Arts in Crisis.” The discussion is part of the gallery’s September exhibition, “Sacred Cows,” which opens to the public on Saturday afternoon. The panel will be composed of three artists, at least two of whom have been personally involved in the controversy over public funding for the arts, which has become in some cases a debate about censorship. Lynn Schmidt is a painter and sculptor who lives in Arlington. She is also the chairwoman of the board of directors of the Washington Project for the Arts, the gallery which exhibited Robert Mapplethorpe’s controversial photographs after the show was cancelled by the Corcoran. Alice Sims, a painter from Alexandria, found herself accused of child pornography after she sent photographs of her young children to a drugstore photo lab to be developed. Her children were briefly removed from her home by social service workers before a judge settled the issue by dismissing the charge against her. Meredith Rode is a painter and a teacher at the University of the District of Columbia, and is working on a paper about art and what we appreciate when we study it. The fourth panel member, Douglas Baumgardner, brings a different perspective to the discussion. Professionally, he is an attorney practicing in Washington, Va. He has also been deeply involved in Virginia politics for some years, so he brings an understanding of both the legal and political realities which are also part of the controversy. The organizers of the discussion say they are looking for a “robust and vigorous debate.” We hope that many residents will take advantage of this opportunity to bring a national issue down to the local level. Given the fact that public money goes not only to the controversial works of art which draw national headlines, but also to other projects including assistance for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community as well as to staff and provide supplies for an art program at Rappahannock County Elementary School, the issue clearly comes close to home. We’re not going to try to resolve the debate here — but we hope that all points of view will be well represented Saturday evening at the Town Hall. Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage BUSINESS IS GOOD at Muskrat Haven Farm’s roadside stand on U.S. 211 west of Amissville. On Labor Day, manager Sam Finney helps Rosemarie Dunn with some fresh com. Artists should not be scapegoats By NOL PUTNAM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I write to respond to Mr. Dearing’s letter of Aug. 16, (“Please explain, Rev. Smith”). The National Endowment for the Arts did not give the grants Mr. Dearing mentions directly to the artists. The process is considerably more complicated than merely outright grants. Most often monies from the NEA are given to institutions or to statewide art agencies such as our own Virginia Commission for the Arts. In turn, local art groups, experimental theater groups, local symphony orchestras, ect., apply for grants for specific projects — such as bringing artists into our schools, or bringing groups of children to various studios, or to help the funding of local orchestras, performance pieces and the like. In 1986, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Arts, or SECCA, in Winston-Salem, N.C., applied for a two year grant from the National Endowment and the Rockefeller Foundation. SECCA was awared $150,000 by the NEA to be spread over two years. They in turn went through the process of calling for entries, the jury process, ect., by which they finally chose 10 winners. Mr. Serrano was one and was awarded $15,000 to produce a number of pieces. The National Endowment could hardly of known what Mr. Serrano would produce. As to the content of his work, I cannot speak to it. I have not seen it. I have read second and third hand comments and reactions thereto. OFF TRACK ANOTHER CASUALTY OF THE 7.4 BILLION SHORTFALL IT IS SAID/ THE GOOD DIE YOUNG'' AND THIS ONE WAS ONLY TWO YEARS / ^ OLD.^——^ OP I have the choice to see the work or not. I have seen several exhibitions produced by SECCA; when in the area I try not to miss a visit; I am invariably stimulated, provoked, amused, angered, ho-hummed, and generally made to think about how other people see the world around them — I believe that to be the purpose of art. In March of 1988, the Special Exhibitions Committee of the NEA awarded the Institute of Contemporary Art in Pennsylvania a grant of $30,000 to help defray the expenses of mounting a retrospective showing of Mr. Maplethorpe’s work. Again, it was not the NEA that made the choice of what exhibition to fund or not the fund. That was left to the Institute. As to the content, what I said above remains my view. The works in question are a miniscule portion of the works shown and were always shown in a separate room with signs indicating the content of the photographs. The viewer has the choice to see or not. Are we so insecure that we should turn over to anyone the right to determine what we may see or hear? We are a democracy with all of its frustrations and imperfections and its freedoms, if we will protect them. However, Mr. Dearing raises other questions which are far more important than how the money got from where to whom. “Why should the enslaved taxpayer be compelled to support some favored person’s (art)?” And “why are artists so favored over other Americans?” We “enslaved taxpayers” — artists, farmers, ministers, laborers, computer whizzes, mechanics, and short order cooks, etc. — are all compelled to support all manner of things that we do not all support 100 percent. Very early on in the Kepublic, Senator Calhoun from South Carolina tried to suggest that a minority could nullify the wishes of the majority. He was voted down then and rightly so. We cannot pick and choose today. I would not have suggested we should build two Stealth bombers at $600 million each a year; others think that’s not nearly enough. I would vote to knock down the sugar quota to allow a little more competition in our hemisphere; the Congress in its wisdom decided not to do so. I object to the subsidization of farming, of paying farmers not to grow food; I have read that there will be $5 billion dollars going to farmers this year and most to support the farmers at the high end of the scale. Several years ago it was the Prince of Lichtenstein who owned a farm in the west getting several hundred thousand dollars not to plant! Quite incredible. I object to the subsidization of businesses where an item does not reflect its true cost because the process creates trash for landfills, pollution in the air and water and all of us taxpayers pay the price whether we use the product or not. I don’t like special interests getting special deals. But in a democracy you take your lumps and get on with it. I have been an artist for 19 years. Contrary to Mr. Dealing’s feelings, I have never been particularly favored. If we were going to have B-2 bombers, I thought at least they could have a nicely wrought iron grill mounted somewhere in them and preferably an expensive one. They can’t fly at their full speed anyway because they fall apart. No dice! I just go work hard, get dirty and sell my ironwork. I am not any different from Mr. Dearing except that, my view is skewed a little differently than his, and from the next person and so on. And “Vive la differance.” Artists are not favored over anyone. I think quite the contrary. We generally are a little outside the mainstream. For some strange reason we question what goes on around us, we hold things up and look at them, and we invite you to come look at the way we look. We want to encourage a discussion, a dialogue. That is what art has done for centuries. And here in the West, when we judge earlier civilizations, we seem to judge them often on how creative they were, what was their art really like. . .the Scythians, the Celts, the Egyptians, the early tribes of West Africa, the Greeks, the Romans. Thus 25 years ago, the Congress deemed that in addition to supporting all manner of other groups and peoples and industries and wants, it might be time to encourage a few, a very few artists by spreading a little money (and I mean a very little money) to some institutions who might be able to find a few artists who needed help to do their work. The monies that the NEA has to grant in a year are equal to the amount spent by the Defense Department on military bands also in a year! The Federal government spends less on art than most other western governments. If you would get the government “out of arts” then why not out of farming, out of industry, out of social security, out of banking, out of regulation and out of all the other places that it subsidizes or protects. And of course, we don’t want that. Please, it is hard enough being an artist without making us a scapegoat for your frustrations as well. I think we’d even settle for a level playing field, or at least as level as anyone elses! Letters to the editor Balanced budget law a fraud 1 o the editor: Republican Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. brags about his support for a balanced-budget amendment. This is one of the biggest frauds that has ever threatened the American people. It is the president’s job to submit a budget to Congress. President Reagan promised us a balanced budget by 1983; 12 years later, no budget within $150 billion of balancing has ever been submitted. Our experience with the GrammRudman Act should have convinced us how useless an amendment would be. The government has pretended to reduce the deficit each year, using all kinds of accounting tricks, stealing $100 billion from the social security, highway and airways trust funds, and just not counting the $150 billion or more being spent on the savings and loan bailout. During the five years GrammRudman is supposed to have been reducing the deficit, the national debt has actually increased by one trillion dollars. It took 200 years, from the administration of George Washington to that of Jimmy Carter, to build up the first trillion dollars of national debt. There is no way a constitutional amendment can keep the government from playing the same kind of games. The way to get the budget balanced is to elect a president and Members of Congress who will make the hard decisions about spending and taxes, not put them off for our children and grandchildren.

20 YEARS AGO September 10, 1970 The September meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors was held Saturday morning at the courthouse at 10 a.m. It was apparent through the meeting that Saturday was not proving to be exactly satisfactory for a meeting date; one Board member had to leave before it was half over; only one outside agency was represented and the number of interested citizens attending was disappointing though a hearing on the assembly ordinance was scheduled. Until further notice the hours for Rappahannock County Selective Service offical Local Board 102 will be only two days each week: Monday and Thursday - 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Telephone: 675-3617.

Wildlife exhibitor Buck Bradley had hoped to bring a wolf along too, but the State of Virginia refused to give him a permit to bring the wolf into the state. So Bradley gave a bit of a talk on the birds of prey and then talked about “the wolves” anyway.

Wilder's budget-cutting plans put squeeze on By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newt Special Writer Harry Parrish of Manassas is a veteran Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates and a former local official. And if there’s one thing Del. Parrish has learned in all his years of service it’s that hardly anybody likes tax increases or government spending reductions. “It’s just human nature,” Del. Parrish told a group recently. “People want more from government and expect more, but they don’t want to have to pay more to get it.” What Del. Parrish is talking about is becoming painfully obvious as the realization sinks in that Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder is as serious as a heart attack about balancing the state’s biennial budget now out of whack an estimated $1.4 billion. When Gov. Wilder released his laundry list of reductions, accompanied by an admonition to local governments not to raise taxes, there were no loud cries of outrage, but muted expressions of suffering abounded. The Governor’s actions will in time dig into the pocketbooks of nearly every state employee, cut back spending on education, corrections, health care and mental health and will impact on localities by providing them less state assistance than they’d counted on. Facing by far the biggest revenue shortfall in the state’s history, Gov. Wflder diverted from himself any thunder from the right by a display of fiscal conservatism that is probably unparalled in state history. Republicans seizing on the shortfall as a potential campaign issue next year said that Mr. Wader’s predecessor, Gerald Bahles, had been gudty of a fiscal cover-up and that some of the mess was caused by Old Dominion Politics reckless Democratic spending in the General Assembly. Yet Gov. Wilder emerges not only unscathed but looking the picture of a responsible chief executive willing to bite the bullet hard even if his actions are not politically popuIn so doing, he sends a message not only to Virginians but to the nation that here is a man unafraid to do what the Congress of the United States won’t do — cut spending practically across the board to get the deficit under control even if there may be huge political risks involved. In others words, put principle above politics. As it happens, putting principle above politics is good politics in the governor’s case. If his party is looking for someone to be a national candidate, someone who can appeal to voters across the spectrum, someone to be an alternative to Jesse Jackson, now they have in Gov. Wilder a man of demonstrated courage, prudence and social consciousness who might be an ideal southern running mate for a northerner like Bill Bradley or Mario Cuomo. Not only that but Gov. Wilder has pledged not to raise state taxes during his administration, a pledge he seems more likely to keep than George Bush. He is out-Republicaning Republicans when it comes to making noises about holding down taxes and taking a meat ax to spending. Mr. Wilder has been praised by lar.

And though the Governor doesn’t really need legislative approval for most of his deficit reduction proposals, he says he will submit them anyway to the General Assembly when it meets in January. That may have more to do with enlightened self-interest, or “CYA”, then a strong desire to get others into the act, but it does spread the onus rather cleverly. Meanwhile, Virginia Republicans, scenting a strong campaign issue, noted that while they had called two years ago for establishment of a $200 million reserve fund, Democrats ignored the advice and the Battles Administration went on adding to the state bureaucracy. The party has announced a statewide petition drive calling for changes in Virginia’s antiquated budget process to make drafting of the budget open to more legislators. Del. Clinton Miller, a Shenandoah County Republican, said, “If people knew that the state’s budget f comes down to six Democratic legislators they’d call for reform.” And Del. Pete Giesen of Waynesboro, one of four Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee, said the party must keep public pressure on for budget reform over the next year. Keeping the issue visible until the 1991 legislative elections might well boost chances of GOP candidates, particularly since by then many thousands of Virginians will have felt the impact of the budget squeeze. Yet as politicians of all parties who try to cut budgets know those who get cut, no matter how noble the reason for the reduction, often resent it. As one legislator who preferred to remain anonymous said, “Everybody believes in fiscal integrity. However, they think it means cutting the other guy’s budget — not their own.” John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now the press secretary for Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr.’s re-election campaign. Opinions expressed are his own.

Our Living Legacy ^ Did you ever wonder what makes grandparents so special? Grandparents represent an especially unique combination of qualities. They possess insight and patience, bom of many years of the trial and error of child rearing. They have learned what is important and what is not.. . the knowledge of which situations warrant genuine concern and which will be solved bv time alone. Grandparents have learned the importance of a sense of humor. They can laugh at life as only those who have experienced it can. They have learned how to put life into perspective. Grandparents know how to listen and to guide their grandchildren gently and lovingly through the turmoil of youth. Grandparents represent tradition and stability in an unstable world. They are living proof that the challenges of life can be conquered after all. Grandparents represent love and warmth. They give us so much. This Grandparents Day let us give them our thanks and our appreciation for all the things they are, and let us remember them in our prayers as we worship this week.

Drying foods at home By HELEN W. SMITH KxtearioaAcnt Drying fruits and vegetables in the home, which is a popular method of food preservation for many families, is really one of the oldest methods of food preservation. Drying can be as simple as airdrying herbs or a food like chile peppers which are simply hung up to dry. Or, it can be a more sophisticated process to control the amount of heat and moisture as when using an electrical dehydrater. The drying process does not require the addition of sugar to food which appeals to many people, espe HOME ECONOMICS dally calorie counters. The drying process is not difficult, but it does take time, constant attention and an understanding of some food-drying prindples. Drying simply means removing the moisture from foods. This prevents spoilage because it controls the micro-organisms that grow rapidly on raw or fresh fruits and vegetables. Drying does not affect the natural enzyme action that occurs in fruits and vegetables as they mature. To control these enzymes and the off-flavor and undesirable textures they cause, you must heat the fruits and vegetables, either by steaming or scalding, before drying them. l. Fruits and vegetables with light colored flesh will discolor when exposed to air. Use an anti-oxidant pretreatment to protect them from discoloration. Certain foods — lettuce, melons, cucumbers, radishes and asparagus, for example — are not suitable for home drying. For drying, select fruits and vegetables that are fresh, ripe and found; just right for table use. Decay on one slice of apple or mold on one bean may give bad flavor to a whole tray. Harvest or buy only the amount you can dry at one time. Dry vegetables promptly to retain their flavor and food value. Equipment Sun drying is the most primitive • method of drying. Pieces of fruit or vegetables are spread on trays, covered with netting, and set in a sunny place to dry. For food to dry successfully, temperatures should be over 98 degrees F. Food on the trays should be turned occasionally. It is also best to bring the trays indoors at night to prevent accumulation of moisture. A breeze will help to carry moist air away from the food. The relative humidity of the air will in a large measure determine how much drying occurs. Little drying will take place during periods of high humidity. A home oven which can be regulated at 150 degrees F. can be used for drying.

Limit the oven load to 4-6 pounds of fresh prepared food at any one time. If large quantities of food are to be dried, then a dehydrator may be built or purchased. A dehydrator is a specialized appliance so be sure that dried foods are acceptable to your family before investing time and money in one. The chief advantage of a dehyrator is the ability to achieve optimum drying conditions by controling the temperature and humidity. It is desirable to have a thermostat to control the heat. Select a dehydrator with a fan or blower to move warm air over the food and to remove moist air because this will shorten drying time. Cabinet construction can influence energy use. Double wall contraction with insulation is desirable because it will reduce heat loss. When purchasing an electrical dehydrator, check for the Underwriter’s Laboratory seal. The interior space of a dehydrator is usually stated in square feet. Each square foot of tray space will hold from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 pounds of food. Twelve square feet of tray space will hold a half bushel of food. Fruits can be dehydrated in 6 to 20 hours; vegetables in 4 to 12 hours. Fruits are dried to 16 to 25 percent moisture content. Vegetables should have less than 12 percent moisture content for satisfactory storage. To store, pack dried foods as tightly as possible into clean, dry containers which are insect and moisture proof. Package in small amounts. Seal lids of the containers to insure protection from insects and to prevent reabsorption of moisture. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Drying apples Wash, peel, and core apples. Slice (the thinner the slice, the shorter the drying time). Treat slices to prevent darkening by (1) ■dipping in salt water (4 to 6 tablespoons salt per gallon of water) or (2) blanching in steam or hot water, or (3) partially cooking in syrup. Arrange treated apple slices on trays or in flat baking pans. Dry in the sun or in an oven or dehydrator set at 150 degrees F. Be sure air can circulate around trays or pans. Stir or turn slices frequently to insure uniform drying. If using oven, leave door ajar to permit moisture to escape. Fruit is drying when pliable and leathery. Tomatoes This technique is best used with tomatoes for stewing. Steam or dip in boiling water to loosen skins. Chill in cold water. Peel. Cut into sections about 3/4 inch wide, or slice. Cut small pear or cherry tomatoes in half. Blanch 1 minute in boiling water. In oven or dehydrator, set at 140 degrees F. 3 1/2 to 8 hrs. Sun dry 8-10 hrs. Seedless grapes Leave whole. Grapes should be clean. No blanching or pretreatment is necessary. Dry in oven or dehydrator set at 140 degrees F. for 35 hours. Sun dry 3-5 days. To test for doneness dried grapes should have a raisin-like texture, no moist center. For additional instructions on drying fruits and vegetables, you may call the Rappahannock County Extension Office (675-3619) and request publication 348-026 entitled, “Drying Foods.” Garden Club symposium The Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc.

Funeral services were held Sept. 4 at Clore Funeral Home chapel with the Rev. Sandy Martin officiating. Interment was in Fairview Cemetery. Pallbearers were Herbert Hash, Garfield Jenkins, John Nuttall, Andrew Deal, K.C. Roberts and Lewis Frazier. Memorial contributions may be made to Salem Volunteer Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 47, Boston, Va. 22713. Clore Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. Joseph I. Brown Joseph Ivan Brown, a member of Culpeper’s Town Council from 1970 to 1982 and a former vice-mayor of the town, died on Monday, Sept. 3 at the University of Virginia Medical Center. He was 63. Mr. Brown had a long list of other activities in community service in Culpeper. He was a past president of the Culpeper Volunteer Fire Department and a past captain of the Culpeper Volunteer Rescue Squad, and answered calls for both organizations for many years. He was a member of council during many of the years of its most farreaching decisions, on water and wastewater and on the local airport. A long-time businessman in Culpeper, he was president of Clore Funeral Home. In the 1978 election, for the last term before he bowed out of service on the town governing body, Mr. Brown received the highest number of votes among those on the ballot. When he announced his candidacy that year, he had remarked “I am the kind of person who likes to finish the things I start.” He was also a past president of the Culpeper Kiwanis Club, and was a member of the Culpeper Baptist Church. For some time, he was chairman of the Town Planning Commission. On council, he was chairman of the light and power committee, and was on the water and wastewater committee. He also was a member of the joint Town/County Airport Committee, and chaired the parks and recreation committee and was on the ordinance and sanitation committee. His funeral will be a private one, led by Dr. H.O. Browning and the Rev. Floyd T. Binns. Friends may call at Clore Funeral Home, which is handling arrangements. Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery. Mr. Brown is survived by a daughter, Jen Lou Moore; a son-inlaw, Wilson Moore and two grandsons, Robert Wilson Moore Jr. and Andrew Browning Moore, all of Richmond. He resided at Moonshine Ridge in the Reva area.

A face that is ever before us, a voice that we cannot forget, a smile that lasts forever, in memory you are with us yet. Death brings sad memories of you Papa, since you went away and then we think of you resting in peace forever to stay God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb, he gently closed your weary eyes and whispered peace be thine. To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past, but to us who loved and lost you, your memory will always last. Your memories are like treasures that no one can steal, parting leaves heartaches that no one can heal. Til memories fade and life departs you will live forever in our hearts.

Reading Continued from page 1 demic students who resist risk taking with their learning,” she said. “But with practice it becomes a natural way of learning. ” Ms Moody suggested that teachers use a variety of strategies in this three-part process, “not the same thing every day.” She also suggested that writing be a part of every lesson, with the writing a part of the anticipation process, such as having the students write a paragraph about what they already know about a subject they will be reading about, or the contemplation process with students writing about how their reading changed their minds, or summarizing what they’ve read or perhaps relating it to something in their everyday worlds. “Every piece of writing doesn’t have to end up with a product, and you don’t have to grade it all,” she said. “Writing can be a major boost to the ego of a student when he shares it with someone else,” she said, and with practice both the quality and the quantity of their writing will improve. At the end of the day Ms Moody asked the teachers to prepare a lesson plan for one of their less successful lessons using the ideas of “Reading to Learn.” Reflecting on the day several teachers said they had gotten ideas they intend to use in the classroom. They were particularly interested in using more student writing in their teaching and in involving the students more by drawing on what they already know. Some were disappointed not to have received more specific ideas on how to help students who are struggling with reading. Some felt the information could have been presented in a half-day rather than a full-day session, though they did appreciate the opportunity to work in small groups and share ideas. Fatal Continued from page 1 rail. The car, a 1990 Chevrolet Geo Storm, spun and travelled several hundred feet down the roadway before running off into the median strip and striking a tree. Ms. Goldston’s son, Michael Strouther, 9, also of Manassas, and Yhamel Sturdivant, 7, of Jeffersonton, who were riding in the front seat, were thrown partially through the rear window of the car by the impact and pinned by its roof. The two children were taken to Fauquier Hospital by the Amiss ville and War renton Rescue Squads, where they were pronounced dead. Two other children riding in the car, Ms. Goldston’s two-year-old son Dominique, and Natasha Carroll, 6, were in the rear seat and restrained. They were both treated and released at Fauquier Hospital, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Ms. Caldwell said the other three occupants of the car did not appear to have been wearing seat belts. Ms. Goldston was flown from the scene to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville by the Pegasus medical evacuation helicopter. She has since been released from the hospital, according to spokeswoman Kathryn Johnson. Dr. Hawkins to speak on mysterious circles Gerald Hawkins, known internationally for his work in astronomy, will be presenting a discussion on “The Mysteries of the Crop Circles in England” at the Blackwater Homestead in Boston, Virginia on Friday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. For the past 10 years, hundreds of circles have appeared overnight in the fields of wheat, barley and oats in Southern England. The stems are braided, flattened and compressed in precise circles up to a thousand feet in diameter. They cluster around ancient Stonehenge, and near the famous White Horse. Apparently not made by hoaxers, the scientific world is baffled. Gerald Hawkins visited England this summer and will give the latest facts and theories on this intriguing event.

GALLOWAY Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The seventh annual Beahm/Bolen Reunion was held Sunday, Sept. 2 at the Rappahannock County Park. The meeting was conducted by James A. Galloway, who highlighted the restoration of Boehms Chapel in Lancaster County, Pa. and urged all the Beahms to attend the 200th anniversary of the chapel which is on the Pennsylvania historic register as being one of the oldest existing structures used continuously for Methodist worship. The three-day celebration will be held June 21 through June 23, 1991 at the chapel in Willow Street, Pa. A program on some of the proven data and many missing items of the Beahm family history was presented by Dorothy Galloway. Following the singing of a hymn and the Lord’s Prayer, a delicious repast was enjoyed by the 105 attendees from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Ohio. The Galloways from Ohio traveled the greatest distance to attend, Neva Grant, of Washington, D.C. was the oldest person present at age 91 and the youngest present was two-month-old Curtis Michael Beahm from Culpeper.

What will happen when the year is over and the $80,000 in grant money runs out? Mrs. Sharp hopes that the children who have been involved in the program this year will be successful in kindergarten next year. Each year some children are held back in kindergarten. These are the children the program is trying to reach, she said. If the program succeeds in its objectives, the taxpayers should benefit, as children with the advantage of a preschool background are more likely to be successful in school, less likely to be held back, and less likely to drop out, she said. Mrs. Sharp is also applying along with Culpeper, Madison and Greene counties for federal money to run a Head Start program starting next summer. The Head Start program will differ from this year’s program in that it will be only a four-hour day for the children enrolled. Mrs. Sharp plans to continue to mix the Head Start children with the other children at the center. “Children learn so much from each other,” she said. If the Head Start grant comes through, with the likelihood that the program could continue in future years, Mrs. Sharp plans to divide the three and four-year old group into two classes and add an additional classroom as an upstairs room in the area that is now the commons area with the vaulted ceiling. Mrs. Sharp said that one of her concerns about the state-funded pilot program is that the patrons of CCLC realize that the grant money pays only for the additional program and does not eliminate the need for continued support from the community. About 18 percent of the centers budget has been coming from fund-raisers and donations from friends of the center. CCLC will continue to need this money, she said. Also, the CCLC director added, the school will continue to need scholarship help for children too young to be a part of the grant programs and, in the summer, for some who are too old. Also there will continue to be children whose family income does not qualify them for the programs funded by these grants but does not provide enough to afford the full cost of day care, she said. Fraud Continued from page 1 Capt. Streapy’s investigation grew out of a complaint made to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke by Newbill Miller, one of the nine candidates for a seat on the Town Council in this year’s election. He won one of the five at-large seats. Mr. Lynch, who was appointed to the council to fill a vacancy last year, also ran for an elected seat but did not win. Mr. Miller said he went to Mrs. Leake before the election and questioned the eligibility of the three to vote. The registrar told him that they had sworn under oath that they lived in the town, and would therefore be allowed to vote. “She did it correctly,” Mr. Miller said. After the election, he added, he reported his suspicions to Mr. Luke, who began an investigation into the allegation. The Commonwealth’s Attorney said this is the first time he can remember a criminal investigation into election fraud in Rappahannock County. A record 94 percent of the town’s eligible voters participated in the election, with 113 of its 120 voters casting ballots. But the margin of victory, six votes, between Mr. Miller and Charles Eldred, who finished sixth in the balloting, was large enough so that a challenge to the three votes would not produce a INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat 10 a.m. Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st.

Treanor, said that “Mr. Lynch has cooperated fully with the investigation and will continue to cooperate with the investigation so that the matter wilt be brought to a conclusion in the near future.” All four men were charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a maximum punishment of 12 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Mr. Lynch remains free on $1,000 unsecured bond, with a hearing date set in General District Court on Sept. 18. The other three men will be formally charged this week, Mr. Luke said. The Commonwealth’s Attorney said that his office “has gone as far as we plan to go in terms of the scope of the investigation,” and that he does not expect any additional charges to be filed. Mr. Luke declined further comment on the case “at this time.” Guest has aid report Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. has received a copy of a report from the Virginia Department of Accounts that lists, by county, the state aid counties in the 31st House District have received.

This high rate could be reduced if farmers would invest in safety, such as proper personal protective equipment, according to the National Safety Council. Personal protective equipment such as goggles, hard hats, respirators, protective eyewear and safety shoes has been available to farmers for a long time. Many farmers do use safety equipment when dealing with significant health hazards, such as applying pesticides. However, far too many farmers seldom or never use the equipment on farm jobs for which protection is needed. Risk to eyes When using liquid chemicals, farmers should wear goggles designed to protect eyes from splashes and sprays. Farmers can also use welder’s goggles which protect against intense light and sparks. Full face shields are another option for eye protection and can be worn comfortably. Safe breathing Respirators protect the lungs from many airborne health hazards on the farm, ranging from deadly Ninja Turtle hosts festival While Fauquier County apparently cannot claim Tom Cruise as a local resident, kids may find consolation in meeting Donatello, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, at C.M.

Woodsy the Owl and Smokey Bear join Donatello in hosting this annual festival which features topnotch children’s entertainment, crafts, and more.

Respirators must be selected based on the air hazards that exist on the farm. One type of respirator is meant to purify the air you breathe, while another provides fresh air from a tank strapped to the individual. Farmers working in areas that may become toxic, oxygen-deficient or smoke-filled need to wear selfcontained or oxygen supplied respirators. Every respirator must be purchased to fit the person wearing it. Hands and feet protection Hands are the most frequently injured part of the body. During a day’s work, a farmer’s hands might come into to contact with chemicals, harsh detergents, paint, solvents, rough materials and sharp tools, or be scalded, burned or frostbitten. Cuts and abrasions on the hands may allow toxic chemicals to enter the body and, if not cleaned properly, may lead to infections. Use appropriate gloves, barrier creams, hand cleaners and lotions to protect hands. Toes and feet can also be injured during farm work. Poorly fitting or improper footwear often causes slips, trips and falls. Farm workers should wear safety shoes or boots with metal toe-caps and slip-resistant soles. Special rubber or plastic boots can be used when spraying chemicals. Farmers should also wear spray suits or coats impervious to chemicals when spraying. The benefits of protective equipment can be seen by the reduced work injury and illness costs. “What farmers need to realize is that PPE works as well on a farm as in a manufacturing plant, mine or construction site,” says an Extension safety specialist. “PPE has helped thousands of companies improve worker safety and health and saved them billions of dollars. . .farmers can reap the same benefits.” For more information about personal protective equipment and haw it can improve safety on the farm, contact Rappahannock Extension Agent Tommy Williams (675-3619).
