Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Bernard Chesshir (left) talks about the school roof repair with Mike Parker of Old Dominion Roofing, the contractor that is doing the repair for Owens-Coming Inc., the roof s manufacturer. Persistence pays off in roof repair at elementary school The gymnasium and cafeteria at Rappahannock County Elementary School are both getting new roofs this week at a price tag county taxpayers will gladly pay: $0.00. Owens-Coming Inc. recently authorized more than $15,000 in repairs, including materials and labor, under the 10-year warranty for the roof, which was installed in 1985. According to Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell, the roofs manufacturer also authorized up to five days of patch repairs on the remainder of the RCES roof. The flat roof is constructed of sheets of a fiberglass membrane laid over top of an asphalt-base sealer. The membrane, which is laid in strips, is then sealed along its seams to create a waterproof surface. The existing roof, Mr. Chappell explained, had developed cracks “The only reason he would give me is that when Rappahannock's administrators called him over the last two years, they didn t scream and curse like some irate - customers do. Instead, they were pleasantly persistent. ” » —John Taggart Old Dominion Roofing along the seams, allowing water to seep under the roof and damaging the ceiling beneath it. A number of panels of that ceiling in the gymnasium, constructed of a material called Tectum, have had to be replaced due to the water damage. Tectum, made of a mixture See ROOF, p. A-6 New churches win approval By^HARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Parishioners from St. Peter’s Catholic Church and the Sperryville Assemblies of God Church packed the courtroom last Wednesday evening as the Planning Commission recommended approval of their requests for special use permits to construct new churches. The Assemblies of God Church is to be built on a two-acre parcel on U.S. 211 just west of the intersection with Route 622, the Gid Brown Hollow Road. St. Peter’s Church is to be built on a 25-acre parcel also on U.S. 211 west of Washington. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner represented both applicants, noting that he is an Episcopalian. There was no one in the audience objecting to the Assemblies of God application. The church agreed to a request from the Virginia Department of Transportation to use the old turnpike as an entrance until the four-laning of U.S. 211 is completed. Also the applicants agreed to locate the parking to the rear of the building and to screen the parking area with trees. Pastor Ray Campbell said they are planning a building of approximately 5,000 square feet on two floors. "The sanctuary will be on the main level with a fellowship hall and Sunday school rooms downstairs. Pastor Campbell said they do not have plans yet, but they are considering either a 70 by 36-foot building or one 64 by 40 feet. Architect Steven Biegel showed the planners pages of plans for St. Peter’s. It will be approximately 7,000 square feet, with the sanctuary on the main floor and a parish hall in the basement. In addition it will house a temporary apartment for the priest, Father Albert Verbeke. Mr. Biegel said the parishioners had told him they wanted a building with the “appearance of a country colonial-syle church.” He said it would be white stucco over wood with a “hunter green” roof. He said the parking lot will be screened by trees, but will be lighted with a center pole 20 feet high with arms holding downward pointing lights. The highway department had recommended that the entrance be moved so it would be across from the crossover for the Child Care and Learning Center. They also recommended a 100-foot taper followed by a 100-foot deceleration lane. Attorney J. W. Fletcher III, representing Robert and Elizabeth Haskell, who own property nearby said his clients “wouldn’t want to oppose the Catholic church or any other church . . . but are interested in the pastoral setting and would like to restrict the visual obstruction overall.” He said that with the steeple the church would be taller than almost any structure in the county and taller than any of the other churches. “The design of this church is nice, but it would be prettier if there were a ring of trees around it,” he said. He suggested that the height of the steeple be decreased. See CHURCHES, p.A-6 Bureaucracy, schools are big losers after session By JEFF NELSON Arundel Newspapers State Writer RICHMOND — Tired lawmakers in Richmond finally crossed the last “T” on a contentious General Assembly session at 9 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23. News Analysis After a painfully partisan two-month session, lawmakers were lamenting the fact that they had little or less to take home to their constituents. The record $2.2 billion state deficit translated into deep cuts for most school systems and reductions in state agencies that will likely affect the delivery of many services. The cuts also add to the damage most counties will face as they work through their own budget deficits. Partisan fears of taxes and fees during this election year led to the death of impact fees and all new local taxing authority. The only major money saving authority granted to local governments was the ability to create stormwater control districts. Lawmakers were also tough on measures seen as intrusions into peoples’ lives. A bill that would have given police the ability to stop motorists for not wearing their seat belts was killed. Also killed were measures aimed at requiring parental notification for abortions performed on minors and mandatory three-day waiting periods for the purchase of handguns. Some measures were passed, including an expansion of the criminal record check for gun purchases to cover all handguns and assault-type weapons. Preservationists and environmentalists fared well in the session. Attempts to make the state pay more for the implementation of the Chesapeake Bay Act and to require impact analysis for all new regulations failed. Lawmakers agreed to set up an environmental emergency trust fund and ban the sale of packing materials that use chlorofluorocarbons. See SESSION, p. A-6 Comments few on subdivision rule revisions By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Perhaps it whs rumors of the end of the war. Perhaps it was lack of interest, but the Town of Washington Planning Commission’s public hearing on the revised subdivision ordinance brought out only two members of the public Monday evening. Diane Bruce arrived at the meeting with a copy of the proposed ordinance marked with questions she had about several provisions. Because her copy did not show which parts of the ordinance were proposed changes and which were carried over from the current ordinance, she questioned parts of the ordinance the town planners had not scrutinized carefully recently. As a result of her questions, several small changes were recommended. For example she said her county clerk’s office could handle plats up to 18 by 24 inches, while the ordinance proposed limiting them to 11 by 18 inches. As a result the planners agreed to the larger size. The only other town resident present at the meeting, Claybert Smoot, asked about the provision in the ordinance that says, “All remnents of lots below minimum size left over after subdivision of a tract must be added to adjacent lots, or otherwise disposed of rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels.” He asked if this had any effect on his lot which is divided by the town county boundary and if there was any likelihood the boundary would be changed where it crosses his lot. Town attorney Frank Reynolds said it did not apply to his lot since his lot cannot be divided. He also reminded Mr. Smoot that the’town and county set up a procedure to deal with so-called “straddle lots” divided by the town/county boundary; so that Mr. Smoot could apply to have See PLANNERS, p.

Burning law takes effect on March 1 By BUCK KLINE Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer When March arrives, so does the 4 p.m., Burning Law. It may be hard to understand the need for a burning law with all the precipitation we have been having. However, during the upcoming spring months temperatures and winds will surely increase. This coupled with the absence of green vegetation in our fields and forests can cause tinder dry conditions. So, just as sure as March, April, and May will arrive, so will the spring forest fire season. In the spring, after being penned up all winter, most people want to get outside and clean up around the house and farm. In many cases, this involves burning. This debris burning is responsible for almost onethird of all wildfires in Virginia. That is the reason for the 4 p.m. Burning Law. This law states that “No open air burning can be done within 300 feet of woodland, brushland, or field containing dry grass or other inflamma win’s Grocery in Washington. • German Shepherd mix: adult male, tan, orange collar, lost on Route 622 in Castleton. • Corgie: adult male, white with brown markings, lost on Route 611 in Amissville. • Walker hound: adult male, brown and red collar with county tags, lost in Etlan area. • Hound mix: adult male, white and brown, white tip on tail, leather collar, lost on Route 641 in Flint Hill.

The law applies to any open air burning from March 1 to May 15. The maximum penalty for violating this law has been raised to $500. After 4 p.m., the temperature and wind have decreased and the relative humidity has gone up. Burning under these conditions is now safer, but not totally safe. If you have trash or debris to bum, wait until a damp, wet day even though it may be after 4 p.m. Better yet, take it to the county landfill. Burning in a barrel can be and usually is extremely dangerous. You would be surprised at the number of wildfires that originate from a barrel. The next time you ride through the county take notice. The barrels are located behind the house and are placed adjacent to woodland, brushland, or an overgrown field. This is done to get the barrel away from the neatly manicured lawn. Very few barrels have a wire screen or lid to place over the top. Most of them are rusty and have holes. Usually there has been little effort to clear a fire-safe zone around the barrel. If you have not done so already, take some extra precautions this year to make your outdoor fire safe. For more information about the burning law, or to notify the Sheriffs Office about a planned controlled burning, call 675-3331. Buck Kline is the area forester for Rappahannock and Madison counties.

Library's budget estimation trying By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board of Trustees struggled with setting a budget for the coming year and setting a date to have the new library open at its meeting last week. Treasurer Helen Platt explained the budget question by saying that she had been unable to get estimates for the cost of insurance or the cost of fuel oil for the new building. The current library building is heated and cooled by electricity. The new library will have oil heat with an electric forced air system for the heat and central air-conditioning. The current budget has $1,500 for ele tricity, but board members were not sure what to put in for next year for electricity or fuel oil. Finally they made a guess of $3,000 for both. This year’s insurance premium is $1,010. It providet^overage for the building for $200,000 and $30,000 for the book collection. The board decided the new policy will need to cover the building for about $550,000. The proposed budget also calls for increasing the librarian's salary from $19,420 to $20,000 and also for a salary increase for the part-time assistant librarian. “I know it sounds bad to ask for an increase when everyone else is cutting, but our salaries are way below anybody else,” Chairman William Young said. The budget also calls for increases for custodial and lawn care because of the larger building and nearly two acres of grounds. There is also an increase for postage and for telephone service. The library had to install a new telephone line for the fax machine given by the state that is costing $20 per month. ☆ SALE # SEDIMENT CARTRIDGES For Your Water Filter for most BRANDS 5-20 micron Aquaman ^ WATER SERVICE (703) 937-5994 The library board will meet again March 11 to finish work on the budget, but it appears now that the" board will be asking the county to increase its contribution to the library by more than $5,000. “The supervisors committed in principle to supporting the budget,” Dr. Young said. In July, 1989, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution required for the library board’s application for a grant from the state for constructing the library that said the supervisors agreed “to provide all reasonable support for the increased costs of operation which the new facility will incur.” The board decided to try to open the new library on Monday, July 1 but to delay the opening ceremony and reception until the building has been operating a while. The book sale on the Fourth of July will be held at the current library building, but the board hopes to have transportation to the new library so people who haven’t been in can see the new library that day. Construction on the new building is due to be finished by May 1. Dr. Young said he believes that construction is only a couple of weeks behind schedule. Board member Grace Sims said there may be a problem with getting the shelving in time for the move. She said she hopes to have two bids for shelving by later in the week so the board can order the shelving soon, but she said some suppliers say they need 90 days or more to meet an order.

The Rams eliminated the Panthers in the Bull Run District Tournament’s opening round, ending the team’s hopes of a berth in the regional tournament. The game mirrored the team’s roller-coaster season, as the Panthers allowed the Rams to dominate the court for most of the game before staging a comeback in the fourth quarter that proved too little, too late. Early foul trouble forced Coach Leake to go to his bench, but the Rams also capitalized to numerous Panther miscues to open a lead that proved impossible for Rappahannock to overcome. The Rams never relenquished an early first quarter lead, as the Panthers seemed to play without the enthusiasm that had marked their season-ending drubbing of Stonewall Jackson on Feb. 19. Following two regular season losses to Strasburg by close scores, Coach Leake said last week he had hopes that the Panthers’ late season upswing would position the team on an emotional high for the district tournament. But the six-day layoff apparently took the edge off the team instead, as Rappahannock struggled to come up with a consistent offense through much of Monday night’s game. The Rams leapt out to an early lead on the shooting of Robert Cameron, who hit 12 points of his 24 points in the first quarter, ending the frame with a 20-15 lead after Bobby Jenkins surrendered one point on a technical foul for hanging on the basket after a missed dunk attempt. The second quarter proved little better for Rappahannock, as the Rams consistently outshot and outrebounded the Panthers to stretch the lead to 35-26 at halftime. At the half, the Panthers were shooting only 36 percent from the floor. The Panthers picked up the tempo of the game in the second half, but the Rams capitalized on their poor shooting percentage from the floor to build the lead to as much as 19 points, 51-32, with less than two minutes left in the quarter. The Panthers picked up six points in the quarter’s last moments, including free throws by Roger Brown and Jason Butler, to.end the third trailing 53-38. In the fourth, Coach Leake exhorted his team to pull together, reminding them that earlier in the season Stonewall Jackson scored 33 points in one quarter. But although the Panthers struggled to make up the margin, hitting eight straight points to narrow the margin to 53-46, Cameron’s return to the court marked the beginning of the end for Rappahannock. Zach Allen, who came off the bench to contribute 10 points and nine rebounds for the night, brought w ^ >> mmwmam Rappahannock News photo'Cindy Mahan UNDER THE BASKET, Zack Allen goes up for a shot in the quarter-final contest against Strasburg Monday night” Allen had 10 points and nine rebounds in the game. the Panthers back within six with a minute left, 59-53. But the Rams took the ball inbounds and played a stall, running half the remaining time off the clock before Bobby Jenkins fouled Darin Jenkins with 36 seconds left. He missed the first of his one-and-one chance. The Panthers took the ball, but missed a three-point attempt and turned the ball back to the Rams. The clock wound down to 22 seconds before Cameron drew a foul by Jenkins, then hit one of two attempts to widen the lead to 53-60. Taking the ball inbounds again, the Panthers drove down court, passing to Allen who scored the game’s final bucket with 12 seconds left, leaving the final score at 60-55. “We didn’t realize that there was no tomorrow until halftime,” Coach Leake said after the game. He credited Strasburg coach Millson French with the preparation that guaranteed the win. “The one person you’ve got to beat is the big kid, dressed nice with the glasses. He gets his kids prepared — and they definitely got our number.” Coach Leake admitted that he privately worried about the effect of the six-day layoff on his team, which COUNTY TAGS ON SALE MARCH 1 County taxes must be paid and Registration Cards must be stamped by the Commissioner of Revenue.

Though he told the team he felt the practices would help their game, he said he was concerned that the break would flatten their game. Monday night proved him right. “On a good night we can beat any single-A team in Virginia. But the problem is we have nights like tonight. We’re going to go out as the team that could have been.” He had high praise for Zach Allen’s performance off the bench, as well as Paul Hitt’s team high 17 points on the night. “He played an outstanding game considering he played two positions,” after foul trouble early forced Jay Butler onto the bench. Coach Leake said he had stressed two goals during the past weeks: confidence and concentration. ‘Tonight, we didn’t play with either. In a tournament,” he added, “you need people to step forward. Strasburg wanted to win more than we did. “In future years,” the disappointed coach added, “we can look at what has happened to us this year.” SHARE hopes to organize On Feb. 7 a group of approximately 25 residents of Rappahannock, Jft&dison, Orange, Fauquier and Culpeper counties met with Wayne Wilson, Director of SHARE in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area, to explore the possibilityof organizing a local SHARE program. SHARE stands for Self Help and Resource Exchange. It is a program in which participants purchase $30$35 worth of food for a bargain price of $13 plus two hours community service each month. Mr. Wilson explained the national SHARE organization and how to get a local program started. We need three host sites with a minimum of five participants each to begin. One church in Rappahannock County has expressed interest in be-; ing a host site; the Hebron Lutheran* Church in Madison County has expressed interest and is working to recruit their participants, and Linda Warby in Orange County (672-0824)’; is working to organize a host site in" Once these three groups (or more if there is enough interest) commit themselves to being a host site, a training program for the host site volunteers will be held. “We hope to have this training session sometime in March,” stated Tommy Williams, Extension Agent.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. >Q The Audit Bureau Editorial Session a loser The General Assembly session just ended in Richmond may go down as one of the most contentious of modern times. Marred by partisan fighting between the Democratic > majority and the opposition Republicans, as well as intraparty feuding between the Wilder administration and its Democratic colleagues in the Assembly — particularly the formerly powerful chairmen of the House and Senate money committees — the session left few lawmakers or their * constituents happy. It appears that the state’s localities will be left on their own to make up the shortfall after Gov. Wilder slashes the budgets for education and social services, as well as most other state agencies. Already the fiscal deficit is estimated at $2.2 billion, and the uncertain economy and the effect of the Persian Gulf war mean that there is at least a chance that the estimate will be revised upward yet again. In some ways, the session was a success. It appears that the absence of money has forced the legislature to cease its attempts to force mandates onto the localities, a practice abhored by local officials — especially when (as has been the case in recent years) the mandate is not accompanied by an appropriation to pay its cost. Bills to allow transferrable development nghts and impact fees were killed, a move that will place continuing pressure on local governments already staggering under the weight of burgeoning residential development. One measure that did pass was an expansion of the waiting period for gun purchases to include all handguns, as well as so-called assault weapons. We think this measure is a good idea. Three days is not too long to ask someone to wait to buy a gun — especially if the delay will help to keep such weapons out of the hands of criminals and mentally unstable individuals. It’s a measure that could save lives. Another measure that could have perhaps saved lives, but won’t, was a bill to allow police to ticket motorists for not wearing seat belts. Presently, a motorist must be stopped for some other violation before they can be cited for a safety belt violation. Seat belt use saves lives, and we’re sorry that police won’t get that added clout. One final measure that will be back for further consideration is an amendment to allow a recess before final consideration of the proposed budget. This is an excellent idea, and one whose time is overdue. There is no way that legislators can give a complex budget document the attention it deserves along with the crush of other legislative matters. A recess would solve that problem. All in all, it wras a legislative session more remarkable for what was lost rather than for what was enacted into law. Apparently, it was also one that the legislators are glad to have behind them. f — Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan CAUGHT WITH A mouthful, cows enjoy a lazy February afternoon snack. Letters to the Editor Hussein should be tried as a war criminal To the editor: As this is written, Sunday evening, Feb. 24, coalition forces are attacking Iraqi troops on the ground in and near Kuwait. Most Americans, indeed most of the world’s people, hoped an attack would not be necessary, that Saddam Hussein would see how wrong his decisions, how hopeless his position, and how overwhelming the world’s revulsion. Recalling the cruel, evil and illegal actions carried out since last August at Saddam Hussein’s direction makes the world’s reaction logical, proper and reasonable: • the unprovoked aggression leading to Kuwait’s capture; • Iraq’s subsequent mistreatment of Kuwait’s citizens, murder, pillage, rape, widely reported in the world’s press; • Iraq’s mistreatment and public flaunting of coalition POWs, seen worldwide on TV; • the deliberate giant oil spill into the Persian Gulf, seriously damaging the region’s ecology, bringing little if any military advantage to Iraq; • setting fire to an estimated 300 wells and other oil installations to date, adding major airborne pollution and destroying an irreplacible, increasingly scarce natural resource; and, • in the days following President I WANT TO BE YOOR .

Bush’s ultimatum of Feb. 21, seizing and murdering hundreds of Kuwaiti citizens. These actions and others, all counter to the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions and international law, make it clear the world faces an international terrorist and outlaw. We are grateful to, and all Americans should thank, President Bush for his courage and firmness in creating the coalition and leading it through the valley of death. We thank all the military forces, Americans and of other nations, for their bravery and dedication in doing what is necessary to stop Saddam Hussein’s madness. Now the President should go one step further. Based on the above, President Bush should ask the UN Security Council to declare: Saddam Hussein an international outlaw and criminal; Iraq, so long as Saddam remains its leader, a state with which no UN member will deal; and that those sanctions will be lifted when Iraq delivers Saddam Hussein to the United Nations for a public trial before the International Court of Jus tice/ World Court. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperry ville Questions of war To the editor: I wonder to myself about the plethora of flags and yellow ribbons. I am told it is in support of our troops, this time in the Gulf. How could one not support them, our daughters, our sons and our neighbors. “War is the unfolding of miscalculations,” said Barbara Tuchman. Perhaps more and closer questioning of our leaders before they unleash the dogs of war. Can you imagine the devastation of 30-odd days of 2,000 sorties a day in our country? Has anyone asked the senior and much decorated Senator from Hawaii what happened to his touted five day Gulf war? And why was the November build-up held off until mere days after the elections? Was there any debate of this decision outside the Administration? Why are there only Armed Forces recruiters in the high schools? Why not Peace recruiters? Why is a missile called a “peacemaker?” Must we be so anesthetized as to call civilian casualties “collateral damage?” Must we all suffer from the inadequacies of a cowboy and a bully? “Thou halt not kill.” Exodus 20:13.

His intellect and energy dramatically improved agriculture, the rural economy and the lives of millions in the United States. Dr. Carver was born in Diamond Grove, Missouri in 1864. He worked his way through school at a time when few opportunities existed for an education. By 1896 he had graduated from Simpson College and Iowa State College in agriculture. With a doctorate in agricultural science he went to Tuskegee Institute at the request of Booker T. Washington. There, he conducted research and taught for many years. Cotton had been king in the South at that time. The economy was dependent upon this one crop. Cotton has high nutrient requirements and depleted the farmers’ soils. At the same time it was threatened by a hardy pest, the boll weevil. Many jobs were at stake with the yearly cotton crop. Millions of people were dependent upon this one commodity. If the crop was bad, or the selling price low, people went hungry. Dr. Carver tried to improve people’s lives by reducing this dependency on cotton. He began looking for other crops that farmers could grow in rotation with cotton. Other crops were needed to break up the pest cycles, and hopefully add nutrients back into the soil. These alternative crops also needed to be profitable, with a stable market. Dr. Carver’s research team produced the introduction of sweet potatoes, peanuts and soybeans as alternative crops. He found they were suitable for the climate, and farmers could readily grow them. He worked hard to find uses for these crops in order to keep demand strong and prices stable. From his small laboratory at Tuskegee he discovered and developed hundreds of products from these agricultural raw materials. He used soybeans to produce flour, breakfast foods, and a milk substitute. From peanuts he developed bleach, metal polish, paper, ink, linoleum, synthetic rubber, and plastics. He developed over one hundred products from the sweet potato. By his efforts, this Black American scientist revolutionized agriculture in the United States. His methods are still practiced today. Research is constantly being conducted on new potential crops, and finding new uses for existing crops. George Washington Carver had the desire to learn, and the ability to improve our world. He did a fine job. The Soil Conservation Service, and the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, salutes Dr. Carver and his efforts, and offers all programs and services without discrimination.

Making hay grow * » ? By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer More than 200 years ago, Lord Leicester of Holkham decided to seed his hay fields with the best grass he could find growing in the wild hedge rows. It turned out to be orchard grass, Dactylis glomerata, one of today’s most popular hay stock. But he was lucky - what grows like a weed in the climate of eastern England needs special nurturing in the eastern U.S. It needs to be fed with fertilizer and dressed with lime, almost like a suburban lawn. When the first season came round after I moved to the farm, I figured that the fields would need 10,000 pounds of fertilizer — a far cry from the 10-pound bag one might spread on the front lawn. Nor are the fields of Hawkridge neat, flat > squares. The Dell field is edged by a ' stream with swampy patches, £ Woodchuck Hill is steep with rocky * outcrops, and even the flat meadow has its difficult places. * Not being too handy with farm machinery, I arranged for a contractor to do the spreading. I chose a calm day in early spring during a dry spell when the ground was firm, and I stood at the gate Perspective ? FORMED IN 1833 from culpepea AND NAMED FOR WIIWhmob RIVER. HEADWATERS OF which me IN THIS COUNTY. with a red flag, waiting for the spreading truck to arrive. The truck came about two hours late, and the driver seemed to be in a hurry to catch up on his schedule. He jumped down from the high cab, shook hands and said his name was George Washington. . .1 didn’t quite catch what his last name was. “Jump in!” he shouted, as though I was part of the crew of this tenwheel, three-axle, orange-colored vehicle. It had a large V-shaped hopper loaded high, and there was a bright spinning blade at the rear which was designed to throw out fertilizer in wide arcs like the arms of a spriral galaxy. George W. drove down the hill of the driveway (too fast for my liking), and crossed over the narrow bridge to get to the farmhouse so that I could pick up a map of the various fords and safe tracks. He told me to point out where I wanted the fertilizer to be spread, while he steered looking forward over the engine, and backward through the rear-view mirror. It was his job as the contractor’s driver to keep the swaths of gray pellets lined up neatly as they spewed out from the rear. Now and again he would stop the truck, and stand on the running board to see how much fertilizer was left in the hopper. Unfortunately I wasri’t much use to him. The cab was noisy and he had difficulty understanding me, even though I shouted. Seat belts would have helped, but there were none, and riding high on 10 wheels without a road underneath was rough-going, especially when George put his foot down. His weathered face showed how he had done this many times before, but I began to wonder if he was not taking chances. Then, again, what hatHnade him two hours late? Woodchuck Hill was the worst. Officially classified as “Unsuitable for Cultivation” by the Department of Agriculture, the soil was good quality, but the grade was too dangerous for tractors. It wasn’t pleasant going over those granite outcrops in a speeding, tilting truck, so the next time George stopped to look in the hopper, I decided to get out, shielding myself from those whirling pellets. Over the noise, I shouted directions for him to take his rig over to the Dell, across one of the stone fords. I don’t know why he took that curving track, but George W. missed the ford by one whole truck width. Two rear axles and eight drive wheels dropped into the stream. The spinner spun, the wheels churned, and the whole rear end sank slowly into the mud, throwing out fertilizer as it went down. It reminded me of the hippopotamus on the banks of the old Shalamar. The driver climbed out of the cab and asked me to take him to the main road, where he walked to a pay-phone. Then he came back and sat at the edge of the stream, chewing tobacco. Now and again he would get up and kick one of the tiros. man arrived with a rescue vehicle. It had a drum winch on the front and two drop-down legs for gripping the ground, and was colored orange to match the truck in the mud. No one spoke, and the rescue operation seemed to be a standard event. The man ran out a steel hawser, hooked it under the spinner, started the engine and slowly put tension on the winch. The supporting legs dug into the ground, the hawser hummed, George spun the eight wheels in reverse, churning up more hippopotamus mud. Then suddenly he was out, unhooked, free and happy. He walked toward the winch along one of the huge redbrown ruts in the grass. When he reached us, the winchman said: “George Washington, if you get stuck once more today, I’ll leave you lay right where you be!” After two hours I don’t know whether those words were a threat or a joke, but George W. stood there chewing the same wad of tobacco, and he stared until the orange equipment disappeared over the top of the hill. Then he climbed into the cab, and drove in a lazy circle around the meadow to clear out the last pellets from the hopper. 1 was pleased with the job. All the fields had been fertilized - some more than others - and those ruts would heal in the sun and the rain, Given the right weather over the next two months, the cattle could look forward to a good crop of hay. I watched the truck go back over the bridge, and climb the hill slowly in second gear. Even though the hopper was now empty, the steel spinner was turning at the rear, beating the air. Somewhat defiantly, I thought.

The program was the second of a series of four called “The Exchange,” the first having been a reading by Nol Putnam, excerpts _ from an autobiography he is writing. The format includes audience discussion with the artists. Carlton Coon’s music was presented through Bob Read playing a clarient and Sheryl Hurwitz a violin, 1 performing a lyrical piece reminiscent of a folk song or dance. Beginning with a conversation between ~ the instruments, the piece developed into a duet of great beauty and ; joy. Mr. Coon’s principal composition, entitled “Rappahannock Variations” is in six or more movements, suggestive of many aspects of the county: the woods, streams and other natural features. Some of the pieces convey a sense of the simplicity and leisurely pace of rural life; others, the vigorous work that farming entails. Once I thought of how time passes and death comes, as the seasons progress, but was reminded too that life is eventually renewed. The variety and individuality of the songs made the work an admirable achievement, expressing happiness and optimism in this bleak time when these sentiments can be especially appreciated. The music was played on a synthesizer which has the capacity to produce music especially difficult to play on conventional instruments as well as some music that it only can produce. This was the first public performance of Mr. Coon’s work. The audience’s en thusiastic response must have given the retired Foreign Service officer encouragement as a beginning composer. Lorraine Duisit, whose works many of us have enjoyed"both at performances here and on her recordings, appeared with her husband, Tom Espinola, also a well-known musician. Lorraine played some songs she has sung before, but primarily new ones, inspired by her experiences as a mother, bringing up her infant in the woods and water atmosphere she loves. She performed on several harps and Tom played accompaniments on a mandolin, a guitar and a drum. Lorraine said she is especially affected by water running over rocks and hopes to bring this music into her work - which I think we would all agree she does successfully. Her beautifully sung lullabys will send the parents and grandparents who heard them looking for any new re Redistricting promises stormy special session By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer The Virginia General Assembly ~ is ready to depart Richmond temporarily after a malaise-ridden session that was in sharp contrast to the heady days of the 1980s. Coming at a time of war and recession, the meeting accomplished little that will be long remembered except to ratify most of Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s deep spending cuts to meet the state’s worst fiscal crisis of the century. Veterans of past sessions were almost unanimous in declaring this one a bummer that lacked pep or spirit. Even the social scene was different. The nightly parties tossed by special interest groups weren’t as lavish or well-attended as in the past. A state savings and loan association, which once put on a party each year that outdid the rest, canceled its event altogether, judging it a bit too ostentatious given the tarnished national image of that group. Times will get better, as they always do, and some of the sparkle will undoubteldy return to the legislative session, particularly after the dust of redistricting and this fall’s election settles. That now takes top priority - among lawmakers who will return to * Richmond in April to reapportion House of Delegates and State Sen; ate seats in line with population figures from the 1990 census. It will wait until November to hold another special session to draw new lines for congressional districts. Just a cursory look at population estimates of House and Senate districts provided by the Division of Legislative Services tells a graphic story. The big redistricting losers will be Southwest and Southside Virginia, the areas that are still largely , rural. Indeed, a few presently existing House districts in those regions may disappear altogether, particularly some that may now be repi resented by Republicans. The ideal size of a House district, for example, will be around 61,000. All of the districts in the Southwest, stretching from Roanoke to Bristol, fail to meet that criteria and the same is true of Southside districts from Petersburg south to the North Carolina border. For Senate seats, the ideal size will be around 153,000 persons and again the same two regions come up short. Most of the Valley seats can be configured without any serious harm to the political clout of that region. But make no mistake, Northern Virginia in particular is going to come out of redistricting like gangbusters and Tidewater will also do well. There are some present Northern Virginia districts, for example, that have more than 100,000 people or nearly 40,000 more people than the ideal House seat and the same is true of some Senate seats in that region.,Thus the most affluent section of Virginia, and the section with the lowest percentage of native Virginians, will become the dominant force in the state’s legislature. That will be quite a climb from an era barely two decades in the past when Northern Virginia was looked upon by many of the state’s conservative leaders as an alien land inhabited by liberals who preached such strange notions as environmental protection and mass transit and did not demonstrate proper respect for • ^tradition and Jeffersonian principles. Tidewater will gain some ground in redistricting but not nearly so much as Northern Virginia. The big winner will be Virginia Beach and to some extent the Newport NewsWilliamsburg region. Norfolk, however, stands to lose since all seven of its present House seats are below the ideal population figures. Reapportionment is, of course, both a mathematical and political exercise and deals are already being struck. It has also become in modem times somewhat of a judicial exercise and it is an iron-clad certainly that no matter what lines emerge for the 100 House of Delegate and 40 State Senate seats that all or parts of the plans that are enacted will be challenged in court by someone., For Republicans, whose motto of “51 in ‘91” reflects their ambition to gain a majority in the House of Delegates, the process may be particularly wrenching since Democrats have almost total control of redistricting.

New to most of us was the music of Richard Squires, a resident of The Plains, performed on a Kurzweil, a sampling key-board, which accompanied his singing and that of soprano Marilyn Dereggi. Mr. Squires presented segments from what he designates “a comic opera,” called “Apollyon.” A full performance would include actors and singers as well as scenes projected onto a screen. We heard music, singing and a description of what his opera portrays. The demands, thus, on the audience were great. Mr. Squires’ work is based on the Greek theme of the contest between the chthonic dieties, represented here by Gaea, the earth mother goddess, and the Erinnes or Fates, aspects of a female, generativecelebrating society, and the sun god, Apollo, patriarchal, aggressive and possibly even death-dealing. The music opens with a nervous, somewhat frenzied development, apparentaly expressing the Erinnyes uncertainty about what will happen. Gaea’s hymn is reassuring and melodic. Apollonian themes portray Apollo as a kind of belt-way, gridlock force, at best, a champion of horse racing and casino fast living. We feel a musical comedy response to some of these themes which sound modern, especially when we compare the music to Carlton Coon’s work, if we can remem ber that far back in the evening’s repertoire. One especially puzzling aspect was the reappearance of the Erinnyes at the end, singing this time in scratchy, unattractive voices, but none the less, representing in what they have to say their femininity. The vitality of “Apollyon” made it exciting to hear. I look forward to the work’s completion and production so that I can better appreciate its comic aspects and enjoy the colorfulness of a live performance.

Churches Continued from page A-1 The county’s zoning ordinance has a height limitation of 35 feet in most zoning districts but exempts chimneys, spires, cupolas, bams and silos among others. The top of the steeple will be about 58 feet high. Mr. Fletcher asked the planners to decide if a steeple is a spire. Hampton District representative John Clark Jr. said he had looked up “spire” in the dictionary and found it defined as a “long tapered structure such as a steeple.” County Administrator John McCarthy said that although the steeple is exempt from the height requirement, the planners could consider its “impact.” All that we know is still infinitely less than all that still remains unknown. — William Harvey Board of Zoning Appeals representative Sid Gottlieb asked if there were a height that would make Mr. nether’s clients happy, and Mr. Fletcher suggested 50 feet. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sharon Pierce asked if they would compromise on 55 feet. “That’s foolishness,” Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said. “How much visual impact can that small a spire have?” Dr. Krebser said he was more concerned about Mr. Baumgardner living across the road and having to look at the parking lot. “It will be an inspiring sight,” Mr. Baumgardner said to applause from the audience. Dr. Krebser also asked about the use of the rest of the land. Mr. McCarthy said that the deed for the land from Ted and Renate Chapmen contains a restriction that for 25 years the land not used by the church will remain ajgricultural. “It would be nice to graze sheep there,” Dr. Krebser said. “Wouldn’t that look pastoral?” “Did you two have a rehearsal?” * Mr. Gottlieb asked Dr. Krebser and Mr. Baumgardner. Mr. Fletcher did get the Chapmans to agree to use the entrance that would be created for the church so there would not be two entrances on the road so close together, and he also got the applicants to agree to plant a row of trees in the rear of the building. The applicant also agreed to lower the pole or poles for the lights to 14 feet. The planners also recommended approval for an application by Dwight and Jennifer Matthews for an office in a small building on their property in Flint Hill. They also Adopted a budget for next year. The overall budget for the planners will be reduced because the grant for the study of substandard housing will be completed, and the planners decided to slow down but not stop the planning studies for each of the county’s villages. Mr. McCarthy had cut that from the budget also, but the planners decided to put $5,000 back in to begin study of one of the villages next year.

Mr. Chappell said the tectum roofing has been inspected by a struciuraifengineer. “He tells us that qyera10 to 15-year period of roof lealM that several of these composition coherete slabs have become seriously damaged. On his recommendation, we nave replaced eight badly damaged tectum slabs.” The $5,600 cost for those repairs was authorized by the School Board at its February meeting, and will be paid from this year’s budget. Mr. Chappell and RCES principal Bernard Chesshir have repeatedly contacted the company during the past several years to complain about the persistent leaks, and the repairs are largely the results of their efforts, according to Superintendent David Gangel. John Taggart, a contract roofing inspector for Owens-Coming, told school administrators he was surprised at the manufacturer’s willingness to re-roof the gym and cafeteria at no cost to the school division. “The field manager at OwensComing told me to fix this roof and send him the bill. Usually, he wants to know what it will cost first. The only reason he would give me is that when Rappahannock’s administrators have called him over the last two years they didn’t scream and curse like some irate customers do. Instead, they werfe pleasantly per sistent,” Mr. Taggart said. “We’re getting far more than the manufacturer’s cost of $15,000 worth of new roof at no additional cost to the county,” Dr. Gangel said. “Bernie and Bob are to be commended for their reasonable, effective communications with the manufacturer. ” *Until the repair work is completed, the gymnasium has beert closed as a precaution, Mr. Chesshir said. That also forced the postpone* ment of the schools’ Science and Art Festival, scheduled for this Thursday and Friday, until March 7 and 8. All re-roofing and patch repairs to the roof are scheduled to be com* pleted by March 8, weather permitting. “We’ve had a few interruptions to physical education classes and evening activities in the gym,” Mr. Chesshir reported, but added that the school division felt that safety jyas the most important consideration until the repairs are finished. Session Continued from page A-1 Bills that would have allowed the buying and selling of transferable development rights and a bill that established mandatory deposits on beverage containers were killed however. . Partisan backstabbing marred much of the debate on many issues, especially in the House, as each political party maneuvered for the most politically correct position. All Republican budget amendments were killed and that party voted almost as a whole against the final version. The move sets the stage for campaign attacks against the Democrat-controlled state finances and bureaucracy. The fight took a unique turn this year when lawmakers requested additional time to review the budget before the final vote. At the beginning of the session, the Assembly rules were changed to allow an additional day to study the document, but the day was lost when secret budget negotiations went past their deadline. A resolution calling for a constitutional amendment allowing the legislature to take a 14-day break to review the budget was passed by both houses, however. The budget deficit consumed most of the lawmakers’ time but did not stop some political posturing. Democrats will likely campaign on their efforts to impose stricter controls on guns, to kill anti-abortion bills and to defeat bills that would have weakened environmental protection laws. Democrats will also point to their efforts to correct a $2.2 billion budget deficit without raising taxes in the state. > Republicans will attempt to shoot holes in what they call a “smoke and mirrors budget” and will likely rally behind their own efforts on the bills the Democrats killed. Planners Continued from page A-1 the line changed so he could move land from the county into the town and subdivide a lot for one of his children, but Mr. Smoot did not apply for the boundary change within the time allowed. Planning Commission member Stewart Willis suggested that they add a provision outlawing concrete streets and the other planners agreed. “We’re not asking for brick or cobblestone,” Town Council representative Susan Parrish said. “We just want to keep what we have.” The public hearing was continued until next month. In the meantime the proposed ordinance will be sent to a professional planner for comments. Town Planning Commission Chairman Louise van Dort said the purpose of having a professional planner review the ordinance is “to make sure we haven’t dug any holes for ourselves.” She said she did not expect the planner to recommend any dramatic changes, but if he does the public hearing will not have to be readvertised since it was continued rather than adjourned. The main effect of the new ordinance would be to prohibit off-site septic drainfields for'newly created subdivision lots. Under the proposed ordinance the planners will not consider an application for a subdivision creating any new lots unless all lots have a plat showing the location of both a primary and secondary sewage drainfield for a three bedroom Vision, hearing testing offered by Lions Club For many years, March has brought a familiar sight to Rappahannock County — the brightly colored Mobile Sight and Hearing Screening Van operated by the Lions Clubs of Virginia. The unit provides free vision and hearing tests to all the children in the county’s schools, and has equipment to do glaucoma and diabetes testing as well as eye and ear tests for adults. All the testing is free. It is equipped with a soundproof booth for hearing testing, the latest vision-testing equipment and diagnostic equipment for non-contact glaucoma testing and diabetes screening. The latter two tests are available only for adults, the Lions emphasized. The van will be at Wakefield School in Huntly on Tuesday, March 5 from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. for student testing only. On Wednesday, March 6, the operation will move to Rappahannock County High School, where students will be screened from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and adult screening will be done from 2-3 p.m. This year, the van will spend two days at Rappahannock County Elementary School. On Thursday and Friday, March 7 and 8, students only will be screened from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. both days. There will be no adult testing on March 5, 7 or 8. Lions Club spokesman Mike Massie, who is organizing the van’s visit this year, emphasized that there is no charge for any of the tests, whether for children or adults. Adults are invited to take the entire battery of vision, hearing, glaucoma and diabetes tests, or to come for just one checkup, Mr. Massie said. The costs of operating the mobile screening unit, Mr. Massie said, are borne by the Lions Clubs of District 24-A. He explained that the proceeds from community projects like the Rappahannock club’s annual auction, apple butter sales, light bulb drives, fruitcake and nut sales are contributed toward making this service available to the residents of Rappahannock County, as well as the rest of the Northern Virginia district. Parents whose children are found to have suspected hearing or vision problems through the screening unit will be notified by the school administration, Mr. Massie said. The parents are then responsible for any further diagnostic testing or correction of the problem. Parents who wish additional information about the screening program should call their child’s school, or Mike Massie (675-3537), John Hartline (987-8679) or Kermit Weakley (675-3246). Adults with questions about the program should contact any of the above-named Lions. house. Mr. Reynolds said other effects of the proposed ordinance will be V) “tighten up the ability to make exceptions,” to “clarify the duties of the agent, planners and Town Council/' and to bring “the appeals provi-* sions up to speed,” tracking recent changes in the Code of Virginia.

Miss Butler is a senior majoring in Elementary Education, and has a grade-point average of 3.5 out of a possible 4.0. She is the daughter of Dorothy C. Butler and the late Howard H. Butler of Sperry ville. She is a 1987 graduate of Rappahannock County High School. Conservation reserve signup The USD A has announced that the 10th Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup will take place March 4-15. During this period producers will be able to place .,bid^ for enrolling cropland acreage in the 10-year program. In exchange for implementing approved conservation practices, such as establishing permanent vegetative cover or planting trees, the producer receives annual rental payments and may receive additional funds to help cover the cost of implementing the approved practice. The bidding process for CRP has been modified under the new Farm Act. Bids will be accepted that do not exceed comparable cropland rental rates in the county, but bids will be evaluated in a nationwide pool according to the environmental * benefits of the proposed enrollment versus the costs of USD A. •’ Targeted areas for the CRP under the new 1990 Farm Act include not only highly erodible land, but also cropland which affects water quality or which is located within established wellhead protection areas. The Chesapeake Bay Watershed is one of three priority areas in the United States which have been targeted for the current signup. It is riot necessary to bid entire fields into the CRP. Filter strips, sod waterways, shelter belts and contour grass strips are eligible. Some producers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed may be able to enroll buffer strips mandated by the Chesapeake Bay program. All cropland in the watershed which has been farmed two of the five years from 1986-90 and which has been owned for three years is eligible for signup. Wetlands or pastureland are not eligible. There are currently 76,000 acres enrolled in the CRP in Virginia. Approximately 3,000 farm owners receive $3.4 million per year in CRP payments, an average of $51 per acre enrolled. A meeting has been set up for March. 6, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Brandy Station Fire Station in Culpeper County to explain the 1990 Farm Act to participating farmers and other members of the public. Conservation provisions will be discussed at the meeting, with the Conservation Reserve Program receiving major emphasis. For more information on the CRP program, contact the local ASCS, SCS or the Virginia Cooperative Extension office at 675-3619.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer There’s a whole new production in Washington. Not only has the old Gay Street Theater, located on the come]?of Jett and Gay Streets , undergone a dramatic renovation including new exterior siding, new interior paint and paper and a new roof, it has a new name and a new company performing under its new lights. Sheree and Frank Kren are bringing an entirely different theater idea to Rappahannock — one fresh from the stages of New York City and Los Angeles. Using professionally instructed student actors and actress, supporting roles read by professional actors and actresses in the lead, the couple raises the curtains on their first local production March 1. Tickets for this event are $12 and can be purchased by calling the troupe at (703)675-1157. “There are no volunteers in these productions,” Sheree said of the upcoming stage productions performed by the Olde Towne Theatre group. “Everyone gets paid,” hence, the increase in ticket price from $8 to $12. “We would like to start slow and build our reputation,” she said, adding only “by taking the first step” will the couple encourage people “to come see what we are doing here.” A great deal of acting, directing and producing is what it’s all about. “We’ve hopes for four major productions a year,” Sheree said, adding the couple hopes for “variety as much as possible.” While Sheree finds social commentaries or contemporay issues to her liking for direction, Frank prefers the „ classic. Either way, from drama to musical, from mystery to comedy, the Krens plan a wide variety of productions. And even though well-known pieces by playrights such as Tennesse Williams, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Miller are part of the “bookcase of plays” available, the couple hopes to produce original work, as well, on the well-known Rappahannock stage. Directing and producing requires full-time work. After acting in the first production, the Krens plan to invite other professionals to carry the lead roles while they direct their energies toward production and direction. “We will bring professional actors and actresses from New York City or Washington, D.C. for the lead roles,” Mrs. Kren said, sitting in the darkened studio on a cold afternoon. “Supporting roles will be performed by qualified local talent and everyone who helps with these productions are compensated,” she said, adding through the couple’s acting class offered each Tuesday night in the theater, fine local talent is coached, perfected and directed. “There is genuine talent here,” she said with a smile, adding the class — with students from Prince William, Fauquier, Culpeper and Rapppahannock counties — is ongoing and hopefully will produce a resident acting company. The first production calls for the Krens to use many of their talents. Besides acting in the lead roles in “Murder at the Howard Johnson’s,” a comedy by Ron Clark and Sam Bodrick, Sheree will direct and Frank will produce the play, which will run for four performances, Friday and Saturday, March 1, 2, 8 and 9. Their varied theater backgrounds come into play, now. Both Krens studied theater and acting in California with acclaimed teachers including Lee Strasborg, Milton Katselas and Frederick Combs, as well as acting with several groups on the West Coast. “This is the first time we’ve been in a show together since we met in 198V’ Frank Kren said, offering their young son Ryan a cracker. After acting in a few first pro Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie REHEARSING FOR OPENING NIGHT, Sheree Rainbolt-Kren (right), directs (from left) L.T. Townes, Dinah Day, Virginia Scott and Bob Etchells. ductions, the two took their talents into production and direction. , “We love acting,” he said, adding while the couple enjoys their work on stage, together, their enjoy the work on the floor. “We love producing, too. This is the turning point.” And what a turn the couple has made. Frank, originally from Pennsylvania, and Sheree, originally from Las Vegas, met in California while pursuing acting careers. In 1984, the two put aside their acting careers and began their careers directing and producing different pieces. “We did some really neat things on our own,” Sheree said, while things were challanging, friends and colleagues encouraged their move to the East Coast and New York City. “We started a dinner theater in Queens,” Sheree said, adding at the time there “were no dinner theaters in Queens. It was an artistic desert. ” “We’ve a'lot of confidence in ourselves,” she said, alluding to the endeavor they’ve taken on in Washington^./ similar in many ways to their past experience in Queens, New York. “We are fearless when it comes to taking a risk or traveling unfamiliar territory,” she said With definite confidence. Things weren’t easy in Queens. The Krens found professional actors and actresses unwilling to travel the distance from New York City to the Queens for dinner theater pieces. Only when the Krens decided to put the “show on the road” did they find success. “We would do it for a few weeks in Queens then move it into the city,” Sherre said of the theater, adding, before long there was a line of anxious patrons for dinner seats. “Soon we were sold out and extended,” Frank said, adding they hope for the same success in Washington. While things were productive in dinner theater, the Krens were becoming bored with choices for dinner theater topics. “It nearly has to be comedy,” Frank said, adding dinner theater is usually jovial and entertaining. This and the imminent arrival of young Ryan promoted the move south as the Krens hoped to find a different life for their young child than that offered by a city of millions. During an afternoon drive from their Manassas home, they happened upon Washington. “We just fell in love with it, all. We could not believe it was here, or the theater,” Sheree said, adding, with haste they contacted Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) and began plans for the move. „ “RAAC is really responsible for us getting our foot in the door,” Sheree said, adding they offered satistics on the turnouts for previous productions and organized a meeting with theater owner Wendy Weinberg. "“In return we are donating a portion of each ticket sold to RAAC for donation to any artist with need,” Frank offered. “It’s all very exciting to us,” Sheree said. “We love theater, that’s the only reason we do this. We’ve no government funding. It’s all private money donated from family, friends and ourselves. We want to make this happen,” she concluded. Each production will decide. Already, the couple is looking for professional theater help for the May play but the March comedy remains the topic of discussion. Work on is running smoothly on schedule, though the Krens agreed they’ve given this play production time an extension. “We’ll be back to two months for the next performance,” Frank said with a slow smile.

Beautiful? It all depends on whether or not you are a lobster lover. To those who enjoy this succulent fruit of the sea, a lobster is a thinfi of beauty. To others, it seems incredibly ugly. Beauty is “in the eye of the beholder,” but, contrary to another old saying, it is not skin deep. True beauty often can’t be seen, at all. It is something you feel, something of which you are aware, not necessarily seen. Beauty, for instance, surrounds you when you walk into God’s house. There is something in the atmosphere that you can't quite define. No matter what's been happening to you, within the confines of your chu-ch or synagogue, you feel a sense of peace, of sanctuary..

GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on Tuesday, Feb. 12, at the Holiday Inn at Culpeper for a luncheon meeting with the Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham presiding and Mrs. Randolph Dixon coordinating the luncheon. Members and guests were welcomed and opening ceremonies were led by various members. The Registrar presented the name of a prospective member who was accepted by vote of the chapter. Mrs. Harding Thomas, Chairman of the American Indians Committee, showed a shawl, hand-woven at Crossnore School near Boone, N.C. The program for the morning was “Visiting the Dar Schools” by Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear, Jr. a chapter member. In October. 1989, the President General of the DAR, almost all the National Officers and many state regents went on a bus tour, visiting the five schools supported by the DAR located in the Appalachian Mountains. Mrs. Puryear was a member of the group and recorded the trip with a video camera. From the two hundred hours of footage, she condensed the trip into a forty-five minute program, one hundred copies of which were sold to chapters across the country and sixty to tour participants. The profit of $150 was sent through this chapter to Tamas'see School to be used for kitchen equipment in memory of Virginia Rucker Crigler, recently deceased Regent of this chapter. The next meeting on March 10 will be the annual Awards Tea for the Presentation of Good Citizens and American History Awards. It will be on Sunday at 2:30 at the United Methodist Church in Culpeper.
