By SHARON KIRKPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The $4.4 million school budget that Superintendent David Gangel presented to the School Board Tuesday night is $19,312 lower than the current budget and calls for a $52,669 increase in local spending. Under this budget, the local share would go from $2,409,019 to $2,461,688. Pay raises for teachers and other school workers were kept in, but other items were eliminated to cut costs. The budget shows the federal share of the budget increasing from $216,427 to $239,662, a difference of $23,195. But the portion of the budget coming from state and other funds is decreasing. The state share will go from $1,328,994 to $1,240,305, a decrease of $88,689. The share of the budget from other funds, mostly the one percent of the state sales tax returned to the localities based on school-age population, will go from $503,559 to $497,072, a decrease of $6,487. Actually the reduction from the state is greater, than it appears, Dr. Gangel explained, because he is including in the state’s share a $44,000 rebate for for fimds< contributed by the school system to the state retirement! system. The budget also includes funds for the anti-dropout; See BUDGET, p. A-8 u.u McCarthy fears state may cut further By SHARON KIRKPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer County supervisors got more bad news on tfie coming budget at their regular monthly meeting Monday when County Administrator John McCarthy told them the constitutional officers might be ordered by the state to cut their budgets. , - ; “The state has not been very forthcoming with their budgets, and we’re hearing some ominous noises* he said, warning the supervisors that in the coming weeks “The constitutional officers may approach the board to make up for the cuts.” He also noted that the treasurer’s report showed revenues from all sources down from the predictions on which the current budget was based. Budgets from the various departments in the county government are due by March 15, and the school budget will be delivered April 1. At next month’s meeting the supervisors will schedule work sessions to deal with the upcoming budget. The supervisors voted to endorse the letter Mr. McCarthy sent to all county agencies asking them to hold the line on their budget requests. “Everyone realizes the nature of the predicament we are in,” Mr. McCarthy said. At Monday’s meeting the supervisors also agreed to meet again March 20 to begin working on redistricting. Mr. McCarthy showed the supervisors the information he had received from the Census. The data does not provide information on how many people are living in the districts as they are now drawn. Instead it lists the numbers of people living in hun dreds of numbered blocks. The numbers are not consecutive for each district. Before the meeting Mr. McCarthy and County Court Clerk Diane Bruce will assemble the data so the supervisors can start the process knowing how many people are currently in each of their districts. With a total population in the county of 6,563, according to the Census, the ideal district should have 1,313 people in it, but the districts can be five percent higher or lower than that number. The five districts will therefore have to be drawn so each has between 1,247 and 1,379 people. The supervisors also learned that a cable TV francise agreement with Adelphia Communications should See CUTS, p. A-8 Catholic church wins BZA approval Special use permit is passed By SHARON KIRKPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer By a two-to-one vote, St. Peter’s Catholic Church won Board of Zoning Appeals approval for its special use permit to build a church on a 25-acre piece of property just west of Washington. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sid Gottlieb was absent from last Wednesday’s BZA meeting, and Hampton District representative Alex Sharp asked to be excused from consideration of the application because he is a member of St. Peter’s congregation and had been involved in plans for the church. Attorney J. W. Fletcher III, representing Robert and Elizabeth Haskell, who own property nearby, again tried to win concessions for his clients. He suggested that the church be moved back another 100 feet from the highway and that the steeple be lower. Mr. Fletcher said he had been told that the radio tower at the jail, the tallest structure in the county, is 60 feet tall, only twct feet taller than the proposed steeple for the church. Steve Biegel, architect for the church, checked with Sheriff John Henry Woodward and reported that the sheriff said the tower is 80 feet high with the antenna adding another 10 feet. Mr. Beigel said that in its proposed location the footers for the basement of See BZA, p. A-8 Recycling center opens again, widens services After being closed more than a week, during which time recyclers either dumped their cans into the landfill or took them home, the recycling center at the landfill was reopened Monday. Preston Coiner of Charlottesville has taken over the contract from Piedmont Recycling of Fredericksburg. Although Preston Coiner will offer expanded recycling, the county budget will probably have to subsidize the program, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. The new recycling center replaces the old 55-gallon drums with a 20-yard roll-off container that has different bins for aluminum, tin cans, three different colors of glasq, milk-jug plastic and laundry-detergent-bottle plastic, said Mr. McCarthy. Newspapers will continue to be dropped off at the on-site trailer, said Mr. McCarthy. Piedmont Recycling gave the county notice several weeks ago and the Charlottesville firm was contacted, but it took until this Monday to re-start the operation, said Mr McCarthy. Under Piedmont, the Recycling Center was just about breaking even, but Mr. McCarthy expects that to change. Preston Coiner will bill the county for pickups, then credit the county’s account with the value of the recycled items, which is not expected to cover transportation costs. Mr. McCarthy said the value of recycling will come in saved landfill space. Couple finds puppies, good fortune at farm By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Saturday last month when David Armor rescued six puppies from under the floorboards of his F.T. Valley barn, he had plenty else to think about. On the day before, Friday, his wife Marilyn had flown from D.C. to Los Angeles as part of her job as an administrator in Attorney General Richard Thornburgh’s office to prepare fpr an event at Pepperdine Law School. Touching down in L.A., her USAir plane landed on a commuter plane, killing 33 people and injuring 12 more. Although she suffered a broken bone (which went undiscovered for a few days), Mrs. Armor’s relatively good fortune matched the puppies’. It tells a lot about the couple, who purchased Sharp Rock Farm on the Hughes River in November, that they continued their normal routines the next day: r BLUE RIDGE NEIGHBORS Mr. Armor met with Animal Warden Ray Pullen and Tracey Clark from the shelter and Mrs. Armor took care of her L.A. business on schedule. The puppies are, for the Armors, more than just pets: they represent Mrs. Armor’s luck in surviving the crash and the couple’s love of their future home in Rappahannock. The puppies owe their lives to the Armors, who in turn have high praise for the “rescue” efforts of Mr. Pullen and Mrs. Clark. „ “We’re animal lovers, and coming from D.C. we’re enormously appreciative See DOGS, p.

„ By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock N«w« Staff Writer Myths, fairytale characters, personal feeling and conquest are all themes Ruth Blackwell Rogers captures on canvas using color of various hues, tones and shades. The work of the West Virginia colorist is the third in a four-part series, entitled “The Exchange,” presented by Ki Theatre at 7:30 p.m. March 10 in the Washington Town Hall. The presentation features slides of Ms. Rogers’ famed “Journey Through a Depression” series with readings. Tickets for the event are $5 for advanced purchases, available at Mountainside Market or by calling Ki Theatre at 987-3164. Tickets at the door are $6. The orginial 21 canvases, watercolor and color pencil pieces, 10-by11 inches in size, took four months of non-stop work to complete and portray the progression into a near-suicidal state and the return to reality, as felt by the artist as she dealt with such a situation with a close friend. Upon their completion and upon her friend’s “dramatic improvement and recovery,” the artist was able to share the journey with the patient. After viewing the work, the friend provided a personal journal to accent the paintings. Using “nearly 90 percent of this journal,” the artist defined the progression into and out of depression as described by a depressed person. ; The public is invited to share this journey by viewing the 21-slide pre RUTH B. ROGERS sentation with readings by Julie Portman. Music to accompany the presentation is created by Ki Theatre and Trapezoid members Paul Reisler and Bobbie Read. The originial canvases are in West Virginia awaiting a monthlong display at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, in conjuntion with the National Institute of Mental Health and the Depression Awareness Program, in Washington D.C. Besides this upcoming show, the journey pieces have been used in group therapy, by social workers, in conference and workshops for psychologists and therapists and by the Jung Society. “Color is the main theme” of my work, Mrs. Rogers said, explaining she “sees color as energy. Af everything in the world is made up of energy, for me it all translates into color.” Her abstract pieces, often waHsized, ranging in mediums of watercolor to color pencils to acrylic or flat paint on raw canvas, are often inspired by the late psychoanalyst Joseph Campbell. “I enjoy the allegorical journey,” Mrs. Rogers said of her work, add\ ing from this she was inspired to ere-* ate another journey. “This one is more intense. It, too, is a journey but it is more for myself. I wanted my friend to come back into the light,” she said, explaining the “Journey Through A Depression” series. , After the eleventh frame, the subject does begin to see and enjoy color, both in the exterior world and the interior world. And while the series portrays the journey into and beyond depression, the last 11 canvases were completed by the artist before the patient. “I saw her stuck at number 11,” the artist said of her friend’s depressed state and her own drawn image of a black hole, the subject of the eleventh print. “I wanted her to move forward. It seemed that her journey was over and that was very frustrating for me. I forced myself to complete 12 through 21,” Mrs. Rogers said, adding, in conclusion, her friend was able to complete the journey. While her prints are often identified by their size, Mrs. Rogers said she chose smaller canvas for this series “to make it more like a story.” “I love a big canvas,” the artist said, explaining that with larger sizes viewer are “hugged” by the canvas. “They (the viewer) can feel they are in it,” she said. “Journey through a Depression” is one of several series Ruth Blackwell Rogers is known for. Her Journey I and II depict age old tales from myths and fairytales. One, “Heart and Spine Series,” was displayed at a gallery in Berlin in 1986. She presently prepares for the “Breath Series that will open in Berlin in the summer. Rappahannock viewers may be familiar with her work from displays at Middle Street Gallery in Washington. On Sunday, March 10, she will have nine other pieces on display in addition to the slide presentation “Journey Through A Depression.” The fourth part of the series is “Choreographers and Performers,” at 7:30 April 7 at the Washington Town Hall. » Noted performers Sally Nash, Sharon Warrick and Denise Reed are featured. Tickets for these and other Ki Theatre events can be purchased at Mountainside Market or by contacting the Julie Portman at 987-3164.

Thursday, March 14 will be reserved in case an additional day is needed. Registration will be by appointment only during the hours of 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. Appointments may be arranged by calling the school at 987-8259. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Parents of children who will reach their fifth birthday after September 30 but on or before November 30 may petition the school for early admission to kindergarten. These parents will bjg counseled by the school division on the advisability of the child attending school. If, after counseling, the parents still wish the child to attend, the child will be tested to determine his/her readiness for kindergarten. The test will be one that is approved by the Virginia Department of Education and the decision on early admission will be based on the results of the test. Both the counseling and the testing may be done during the kindergarten screening hours. In order that proper planning be done for material and staffing, it is essential that all prospective kindergarten children be registered on March 12 and March 13. Parents are requested to bring birthcertificates and social security numbers. Please contact the elementary school (987-8259) with any questions. Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Chris Moorhead MARK SCOLFORO, left, and Lou Hatter switch posts. Two new editors named at Arundel Newspapers Two award-winning newspapermen have switched jobs at the leading publications in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, announced Arundel'Newspapers publisher Arthur W. Arundel this week. Mark Scolforo, 26, has been named managing editor of the Rappahannock News. Mr. Scolforo for the last two years served as assistant editor to Richard Johnson, executive editor of both the Rappahannock News and the Fauquier Times-Democrat in Warrenton. In the same move Lou Hatter, 35, leaves the Rappahannock News to become managing editor of the Times-Democrat. The two papers make up Arundel Newspapers’ Southern Division. In Mr. Scolforo’s three-plus years in at the Times-Democrat he covered police, schools, the courts, county and town government and other beats. Mr. Hatter was managing editor of the News for five years, starting in April 1986. He previously worked as a reporter-photographer for two weekly papers in Pennsylvania. “Lou is the dean of Arundel Newspapers editors in terms of longevity, and he is ready for expanded duties. Mark has progressed to the point where he is able to take on his own paper,” said Mr. Johnson. A native of Baltimore, Mr. Hat ter comes froth a newspaper family. His father, Lou Sr., was a sports re* porter for the Morning Sun for 43 years. Lou Jr. majored in English at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. He has won awards from the Virginia Press Association for writing, photography and design. “From time to time these changes are made in the newspaper business, both for the individual growth of an editor and for the papers themselves,” said Mr. Johnson. “This is a move that will benefit both editors and both papers.” Foster named to Dean's List Kristi Maria Foster, a student at Old Dominion University in Roa-* noke was named to the Dean’s List for the fall semester. Miss Foster obtained a 3.7 grade point average out of a possible 4.0. She will also be inducted into the Golden Key National Honor Society on March 21. Miss Foster is rroyoring in Human Resource Management with a degree in Labor Relations. She is the daughter of Mr; and Mrs. Guy Foster Jr. of Sperryville and a 1983 graduate of Rappahannock County High School. oodsmoke CAFE I srtttifiTTiT n 'tyt~' ~ r j~ ~ appatachian twilit* Ty-’J ' Vi ~p'%W Live Music Every Friday Night MARSH...

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. >0 The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1991 Editorial Signs of spring Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, and the evidence is only anecdotal at this point, but we’re seeing signs that the darling buds of spring may be bringing with them an economic recovery this year. Retail sales, after a pitiful Christmas and even-worse January and February, are definitely picking up in the region, and with the drop in gas prices Rappahannock’s many commuters aren’t being pinched quite as hard. The cakewalk of a war, which we think is almost completely over, did its part to discourage risk-taking by businesses during the past seven months, and spring always sees a surge in business activity. Those two factors are doing more than anything to drive events in recent weeks. On the state level, much has been made of Gov. Wilder’s fiscal conservatism, and how that will make him an appealing national candidate in the near future. That’s speculation, but what is certain is that by tackling the state budget deficit head-on, he has truly best-served the needs of the Commonwealth. If his projections prove to be worse than the r reality, then making adjustments up in revenue will be easy enough. We haven’t heard anyone saying the state picture is more dire than Richmond’s assessment, so at worse Gov. Wilder is erring on the side of pessimism, a good tack in stormy times. What can people in Rappahannock do to encourage these ; first signs of an upturn? We should all learn from the penny1 pinching and caution of this recession. There was something reckless about the profligate Reagan years, and we have too . much at stake in this country to take things for granted in the ’90s. We’ve lost a great deal in terms of foreign competition in the past 20 years (the Japanese come immediately to mind), but the Gulf War has done much to restore an underlying faith in our values. The next war, the war for economic prosperity in the ’90s, may not be as short or as easy, but it may say more about the backbone of the American people. With the Gulf War over, it’s time to turn our attention back home, but leaders like President Bush and Gov. Wilder have proven their leadership in tough times. We can breathe a little easier, but we’re by no means out of the woods yet.

Letters to the Editor Lou will be missed To the Editor: It is unfortunate that it may seem both Unlikely and vaguely suspicious to do so, but I must depart from the lamentable tradition of government-journalist conflict in offering my thanks to Lou Hatter for the many services that he has provided to our community. Mr. Hatter’s tenure as editor of the Rappahannock News during a period of great challenge for Rappahannock has been marked with both professional success for him personally (as witnessed by his promotion within the Arundel Newspapers organization), as well as fine service to the community, as may be attested to by anyone who has been a steady reader of the Rappahannock News or who is aware of Mr. Hatter’s many services as a rescue squad member and frequent volunteer for other worthy causes. The journalist and the government official both serve the public trust, albeit in different ways. While I have been often challenged by the journalist in Mr. Hatter, I will attest to the fairness of those challenges. When I was in the wrong (rare though I wish that were), he made it known; when I was in the right, he likewise made it known. When, as is far more often the case, the rights and the wrongs are as murky as may be imagined, he cleared the air. I hope that my career will bear comparison with his in these regards, and will count myself most fortunate if I am as fondly remembered by the people I serve as he is by those he served. TOS OK, OK !! NICE TRY-WAY TO GO// TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SHARE THEIR TIME TO MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE, WE SAY "THANK YOU"// RAPPAHANNOCK ATHLETIC , ASSOC. i tmouts ym\ T G»C I am sure that the rest of the community joins with me in wishing him every success in the rather more turbulent waters of Fauquier County, and in the hopes that we shall still see much of him in Rappahannock. JOHN W. MCCARTHY County administrator ‘It’s not what you print’ To the Editor: Most newspapers have to go to great lengths to print a thought provoking publication. But the Rappahannock News takes the opposite approach. It is not what you print, but what you don’t print, that raises questions. Why, for instance, did you fail to inform Rappahannock residents of the locations of voting places before the November election? The most interesting answer came from an observer at the W.V.F.D. polling place: Perhaps the “newspaper” didn’t want the people to know where to vote! One month ago our representatives in the U.S. Congress, Rep. Slaughter and senators Warner and Robb, voted to support President Bush in an inevitable move towards the war in the Middle East. Kight or wrong, lert or nght — why didn’t you inform your readers? You seem eager enough to print partisan letters from political p.r. men (on the editorial page and Op-Ed page), but not one word about an incredibly important Congressional vote affecting each and every one of us. Or didn’t you want us to know? I thought the “Upcoming Events” column listed all events in the county which were brought to your attention, but I’ve learned differently. You say “no available space” to one group while listing another event that is weeks away. Why is one non-profit group not mentioned while another receives space two or three weeks prior to the event? Not only do you raise questions by your silence, but recent changes in the paper also raise questions. Why the increase in the price of the newspaper? Is it to cover the cost of front page color photos of auto accidents? Why the change to two sections? There’s no additional news and two sections to lose. Personally, I would prefer to pay less and receive a newspaper with no color photos, no ambulance chasing, no easy-to-lose “Lifestyle” section and no glaring ommissions. So how about it? Give us a paper that serves the entire Rappahannock community and keeps us informed of all local happenings. Perhaps you would also consider including a weekly voting record of our local, state and federal represen tatives. Remember you have intelligent and attentive readers. They want to be informed and you’re in the driver’s seat! One final comment regarding your editorial about Gulf War support. It came across as a simplistic lip sync of party line policy. The idea that if you have a loved one in the service you must support the war, or if you don’t support the war you can’t support a loved one is absolutely ridiculous. You, Lou Hatter, are the Milli Vanilli of the Rappahannock News. And Arundel publications is your producer. I’ve had it! No more Rappahannock News for me. The grapevine is fine — it’s more reliable and independent. PHILDREVAS Flint Hill Bottleneck To the Editor: We have been ardently faithful recyclers since the start of recycling programs in Rappahannock County. It was thus disturbing today to be turned away from the recycling center at the county landfill. The area was overflowing with glass that had not been collected, and we were directed to throw our bottles, collected over a month, into the dumpsters. The entire recycling area was roped off to prevent the dropping off of glass, so it all went into the trash/ Why does the recycling pick-up continue to be a problem? Perhaps we need a new company to collect the materials. Some alternative must be made available to the citizens of this county who feel that recycling is mandatory. It is an environmental shame that because voluntarily recycled products are not collected in a timely fashion we must continue to waste our landfill space with glass bottles that can be reused. Please, Rappahannock County^ let’s do something about this situa tion. The status quo is unacceptable. STEPHEN AND KERRI WAGNER Sycamore Hill House & Gardens Washington Appropriate symbolism To the Editor: Mr. Putnam has been wondering “to himself’ why there was such a “plethora” of yellow ribbons in the land. (The expression “to himself’ has to be taken with a grain of salt, as the Rappahannock News is a public forum). Now “plethora” is a disparaging term, meaning overabundance of something bad or over-fullness. But this country of ours is very big, and the overwhejpiing support of the 1 majority of its citizens for the troops and the action in the Gulf could seem “plethoric” only to those familiar to constructs, but not to reality. It is doubtful that Mr. Putnam has dwelt often on the perilous life small countries lead, when in geographic proximity of lands governed by murderous thugs. (To apply the word “bully” to Saddam Hussein is like calling bubonic plague a mild case of chilblains.) Some of us know the horrors of occupation and the wrenching away of flight, the anxieties of the refugees facing the imposed silence of those “who stayed behind,” the tales of torture of the few who escaped. This is true of Kuwait today and of several countries in Europe during World War II. “Thou shalt not kill” is a message heard by moral men, but what should be done with those who do not heed this message. . .with the killers? Hitler and Saddam Hussein are like malignant growths that have to be surgically excised. What Barbara Tuchman wrote about war - that it is “the unfolding of miscalculations” is often true but not always. Not in Marathon in 490 B.C., when the Athenians defeated the Persian Army - and not now in Operation Desert Storm. FRANCINE D. NADLER Washington Recycling is no hassle To the Editor: About a month ago, your editorial, as I remember it, took the position of opposing the “Bottle Bill.” In See LETTERS, p. A-5 Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper. We encourage our readers to express their feelings on matters of public concern. “Letters to the editor” provides a forum for your opinion. Letters should be concise, as space may require editing. Whenever possible, letters should be typed and double-spaced. To be considered for publication, they must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number. Anonymous letters will not be published. The writer’s name may be withheld under extreme circumstances only. Letters that are libelous or in poor taste will not be published. Topics addressed should be of gen^ eral interest to the community. Letters must reach the editor by 10 a.m. Tuesday to be considered for publication that week. Letters may be mailed to the Rappahannock News, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office on Main Street in Washington.

Letters Continued from page A-4 last week’s Rappahannock News, a front-page article by Jeff Nelson from Richmond (^Bureaucracy, schools are big losers after session”) tells us that a bill that “established mandatory deposits on beverage containers was killed.” I hope when this bill comes up next year, as it will, you will have driven down to Culpeper on U.S. 522 in all seasons and seen the hundreds of trashed containers along both sides. _ And I hope that meanwhile you will have had a chance to visit at least one of the several states that have enacted “Bottle Bills” so you can see the difference for yourself. Lastly, I hope you will publish another editorial on the subject with care for the environment and pride in our county and state on your mind. The Corner Store in Sperryville sells beVerages in containers requiring deposits and they accept the returns with a great smile. If it’s an inconvenience to them, you’d never ‘know it. i RUTH C. RICHARDS ; Sperryville ; Underpaid supervisors To the Editor: Recently I was astonished to learn that the members of our Board of Supervisors, the individuals who are elected to make decisions affecting the everyday lives of Rappahannock citizens, the officials who put together and administer a yearly budget of over $7.2 million, are compensated with the princely sum of about $35 per month/meeting, or roughly $400 per year. I can only assume that most of my fellow citizens are unaware 6f this'situation and I would hope that upon becoming aware, their initial reaction would be one of disbelief, much as my own. The average supervisor puts in hours every month in service to their county. In addition to their feeble monetary compensation, they are also entitled to the privilege of frequent interruptions in their personal lives from concerned citizens about various problems and situations in the county as well as the unsettling knowledge that with every vote on every issue they undoubtedly irritate or infuriate 20-50 percent of their constituents who probably have different opinions than their elected representatives on how to decide the multitude of issues the Board contends with on 2 monthly or even weekly basis. If the old adage of “you get what you pay for” held true here, this IT county would be in sad shape indeed. However, with very few exceptions, we have been blessed with a pool of dedicated public servants who have received neglible compensation for their exemplary efforts. Nevertheless, one cannot reasonably expect to continue to count on this remarkable streak of good fortune. In that vein, I am urging the board of supervisors to rectify this situation for their own sake, for the sake of future members and for the sake of continued fine leadership for Rappahannock County. I realize that in these semi-recessionary times that we rife with spending cuts, this proposal may seem to fly in the face of current popular thinking. However, I would point out that compared to the rest of our state, Rappahannock ranks near the bottom if not at the bottom in monies allocated for supervisors salaries. All politicians are (leery and sometimes rightly so) of voting themselves pay raises. But, in this case, not only is a raise justified, it is long overdue. One of the biggest problems our government at all levels has is keeping competent people due to the pay disparity between the public and private sectors. Were any of our board members involved in a business with yearly revenues similar to the level of the county budget, they would undoubtedly be earning in excess of $35,000 per year. While I’m not proposing an increase of that magnitude, I do feel, again, that a significant increase is Well earned and long overdue. ■ Lastly, if there are others who wish to see a continuation of the professional leadership we have been blessed with, I urge you to contact your supervisor and voice your support. Rappahannock is a beautiful county with wonderful schools, a well-thought-out zoning plan, a law enforcement department to be proud of, and a plethora of wonderful people in all levels of local office. I would hate to see these things change for the worse simply because future potential leaders simply cannot afford to give the necessary time that is needed for participation in these very important positions.

J-119b GOP pins hopes on '93 comeback By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock New* Special Writer Even in its present state of division and low finances, the Virginia Republican Party has its best opportunity for a comeback since its downhill slide started in the late 1970s. The Great Political God Demographics and the fiscal shambles wreaked by Democrats and the recession give the GOP a fighting chance to take control of the House of Delegates within the next few elections and a good shot at statewide offices in 1993. But there are shadows still hovering over the rays of sunshine glimpsed by Republicans - the shadows of redistricting, internal bickering and up to now a dearth of viable candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general two years hence. Quite naturally, Republicans in general and GOP state legislators in particular are giving first priority to legislative redistricting that takes place in April. The new House of Delegates and Senate boundaries will make and break careers and determine what, if any, chance the party has of making further inroads in the General Assembly. While Democrats control the process and can gerrymander to their heart’s content, the continuing shift of population and power away from inner cities and rural areas to the suburbs should favor Republicans. It is unrealistic to suppose the GOP could somehow get a majority in the House of Delegates this year. But if it can maintain its present strength or increase it by one or two delegates, that chance will remain alive for the 1990s, particularly if the party can once again find a statewide ticket with broad voter appeal. That task, however, won’t be an easy one. Unlike the last few times around, there are no strong GOP contenders beating the bushes and eating rubber chicken around the state in search of a statewide nomination in 1993. Even those who have expressed some interest in running, such as Del. George Allen Jr. for attorney general, are taking a wait and see what develops attitude. That is understandable since Allen must first retain his legislative seat before beginning any intense effort to expand his horizons.

Paul Trible, the former United States Senator who lost the gubernatorial nomination in Coleman in 1989, is making big bucks in a Washington law firm and has been scarcely heard from since. Two men who at the moment seem possibly - and I emphasize possibly - the top choices for the top of the ticket in 1993 are good friends and would probably not compete against each other. They are Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. of Front Royal, who sought the nomination in 1989 unsuccessfully, and Del. Clinton Miller of Shenandoah County. Guest is the House minority leader and Miller the assistant leader, they hail from the same region and work in tandem. It may be that Guest will want to hang around, hoping to become Speaker of the House. There is also talk of recycling State Sen. John Chichester of Stafford for lieutenant-governor. Though Chichester lost to Douglas Wilder in ( 1985, there were some extenuating x circumstances in that he got no help at all from the top of the ticket and that on election day flooding in Republican areas of the state probably cost him the election. But lots of other names will be floated for the second spot, including Dels. Frank Hargrove of Hanover, and John Watkins of Henrico anff' Sens. Joseph Benedetti of Richmond, Robert Russell of Chesterfield and William C. Wampler Jr. of Bristol. Another prospective candidate for attorney general on the GOP ticket is Del. Steven Agee of Roanoke. Of course, every four years other names emerge of people who have never been directly involve in electoral politics but are thought by some to have a chance for nomination for statewide office. That shouldn’t be the case with any of the statewide office nominations in 1993, when the Republi-' cans will have ammunition and the Democrats will have a winning streak on the line (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is an aide to U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own.) From my chair... A fond farewell MV LiUU HAIIEK For the first time in nearly five years, my Wednesday morning was not spent supervising the production of the Rappahannock News. This week, I began my new duties as managing editor of the Fauquier Times-Democrat. It is an exciting change, and one filled ■^with challenges. But I leave the Rappahannock News, and Rappahannock County, with mixed feelings. Seven years ago, when I moved to here to take a position as an assistant chef at The Inn at Little Washington, I could scarcely have envisioned how my life would unfold. It has been a time of great change and growth, both personally and professionally. Like anyone else, all the times have not been good. But even the difficult experiences are an opportunity for learning. As my Uncle George once told me, “Without the rocks, there would be no babble in the brook.” But my years as managing editor of the Rappahannock News have been a wonderful experience. I have learned more about journalism, and people, than I thought I would ever know. I don’t think there is a journalism school classroom anywhere that ^.,x:an match the learning opportuni« • ties of a job at a small community newspaper. The best part of the job was the contact with my readers. Not a day went by that I didn’t meet someone new, or learned something from a chance encounter oh the street. Being the editor of a small newspaper is a far cry from the duties of a big-city editor. Along the way, I learned that smalltown journalism is personal. Editors at larger papers don’t run into the subjects of their editorials at the bank or the post office. That, obviously, is a mixed blessing. I’ve gotten a few compliments from those encounters, but I’ve also gotten a few less appreciative remarks (sometimes accompanied by mutterings about lawyers). - But that too, is part of the job. My father, a long-time reporter, gave me a piece of advice about our profession when I took my first newspaper job at a small weekly paper in the coal fields of Pennsylvania. “Lou, if all your readers are happy, and everybody agrees with you, then you’re not doing your job,” Dad told me. He was right. And although the angry telephone calls at sunrise on some Thursday mornings were not appreciated at the time, I can look back and say that I don’t regret for a moment the editorial positions that most often produced those calls. What I’ll remember most, and miss the most, about Rappahannock County are its people. Both in my position as editor, and as a member of the community, I’ve been privileged to meet and talk with many of you. As editor, I probably got to meet more people than almost anyone else, and I consider that to be one of the best fringe benefits of the job. Involvement in community activities, particularly the fire department and rescue squad, was an opportunity to return something to the county and its people — the people who gave me so much. That gave the job a richness that will be hard to match anywhere else. If I have enjoyed any success as editor of the Rappahannock News, the credit really belongs to you, the readers. For no newspaper can succeed without an involved and responsive readership — and the readers of the Rappahannock News are certainly that. From suggestions about possible stories to “Letters to the editor” disagreeing with positions taken by the newspaper, you, the readers, have made the paper your own. Far too many of you have offered so much to even attempt to thank you all personally. But consider this my feeble attempt at acknowledging all the help you have given me along the way. I will miss Rappahannock County, and its people. A number of people, when they heard about my move to the Fauquier TimesDemocrat, have remarked, “Moving on to bigger and better things, I gues&,” My only reply is: bigger, certainly. Better? I’m not so sure.

Reading Workshop tries new approach By SHARON KIRKPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Margaret Lee is trying something different with her two reading ' classes at the elementary school this year. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays her fifth and sixth graders have Reading Workshop rather than traditional instruction in the basal readers. During reading workshop, for most of the one-and-a-half hour period, the students read from books they have selected. They must read from books, not magazines or newspapers, and most of the books must tell stories. “Great literature,” including children’s classics, aren't the most popular selections. However, one fifthgrader has tackled “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and some are trying “White Fang.” Most of the students are reading books written expressly for the adolescent and pre-adolescent audience. These books tell stories of youngsters about the age of the students or slightly older. They deal with relationships between children and their older or younger brothers and sisters, between the youngsters and their parents, and relationships with their peers in school. Some of the students are plowing their way through Nancy Drew' and Hardy Boys mysteries. At the beginning of the reading period, Mrs. Lee has a “mini lesson.” She might introduce a specific author or discuss some specific aspect of literature such as characterization or setting. Recently one mini lesson was on sequels, trilogies and £bfies. Then, row by row, the students are invited to begin reading. They rush for the pillows and carpet samples and place themselves around the room to spend the better part of an hour reading. Near the end of the reading class time Mrs. Lee reads to the students. The fifth graders are hearing tales from mythology. The sixth graders are hearing a historical novel set in the colonial period about a girl who travels from Barbados to New England to get an education. When a student finishes a book, he is expected to record that in his “literary log.” As he reads, he is expected to write letters in his literary log to Mrs. Lee and his classmates about his reading. These letters are not very elaborate. A typical letter might be: March 10, 1991 „ Dear Mary, I just finished reading “Class Clown" by John Doe. This is a good book. I think you should read it. What is your book like? Yours, Jane The recipients of the letters are expected to answer within 24 hours. Mrs. Lee is trying to get her students to discuss why they like or don’t like their books. Her letters to them give more thorough reports on her own reading. At the end of each grading period Mrs. Lee has a conference with each student. During these conferences the students help judge how well they have met the goals they set for the period and set goals for the next grading period. For a student who has been reading mostly mystery stories, a goal might be to try different types of reading. A student who has read only one or two books during the period might try to read more during the next period. One who has been reading lots of short books might be challenged to tackle something longer. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the students have lessons from the basal readers. However, even these lessons aren’t traditional. Most of the time the students work cooperatively in groups reading the selections and finding answers to the exercises on the reading. This enables them to cover the material faster, since they only have these lessons twice a week instead of every day like other fifth and sixth graders. There is another purpose for the cooperative learning, however. Mrs. Lee hopes it will help her students develop greater skill in relating to one another. Also on Thursdays they have a special session with younger readers. The fifth graders work with a first grade class, and the sixth graders work with a second grade class. The younger students bring books to read to the older students, and then the older ones read to the Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kirkpatrick SIXTH GRADER HEATHER Dodson tackles ‘Class Clown.’ younger students. The fifth and sixth graders are paired with the younger students. Mrs. Lee got the idea for her Reading Workshop during an inservice session last summer on “whole language.” At that session “In the Middle” bv Nancie Atwell was recommended as a way to use whole language instruction with older students. Mrs. Atwell teaches eighth graders in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Her book describes her experiences in establishing reading and writing workshops for her eighth-grade students. Mrs. Atwell’s students have won national recognition for their skills in writing. Mrs. Lee says she is also using the concepts of “writing workshop” for the one period a day when she IMPORTANT NOTICE ■h Country Home Furniture GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!! lAAAAkkkkk HERE'S OUR STORY: DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL THE OWNERS Of COUNTRY HOME FURNITURE HAVE MADE THE PAINFUL DECISION TO CLOSE : THE DOORS OF : THEIR WARRENTON STORE FOREVER!) r EVERYTHING MUST BE SOLD!

During writing workshop students write on any subject that interests them. They learn such skills as punctuation. One measure of the success of the reading workshops will come later this month when all students take standardized tests on reading comprehension and vocabulary. The program can be judged a success if Mrs. Lee’s students do better than they could have been expected to do if they had been taught using the basal reading series. But by another measure the program can already be judged a success. Mrs. Lee’s students report they enjoy reading class more this year than last. They say they enjoy reading more than they did before, and they report they are reading more. 'Murder focuses on schemes and romance By LISA G. CURRIE Raiipalianiioek Newt Staff Writer What do a daffy dentist, a dizzy housewife and a materialistic, unfeeling used-car salesman doing on Gay Street in Washington? They’re planning “A Murder at the Howard Johnson’s.” Opening to a nearly-full house, the first production of the Olde Towne Theatre group raised the curtains last Friday on the newly-remodeled and renamed Theatre at Washington, Va. The play sets are simple yet complete. The characters are few yet developed. The comedy is dry yet entertaining. The show is on stage this weekend, Friday and Saturday nights at 8:30 p.m. And, to “allow the show to work,” Sheree Rainbolt-Kren announced an extended show dates, March 15 and 16. The two-act comedy by Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick stars Frank Kren of Washington as Mitchell Lovell, the womanizing dentist; Tom Sawyer of Warrenton as the jilted husband and Mrs. Rainbolt-Kren as the fickle wife and lover. Maids are played by Dinah Pehrson-Day of Castleton and Barbara Pierce of Marshall. Of all these characters, someone is planning a murder. It could be the dentist who spends a good part of his time trying to figure which shoe fits which foot. Or, it could be the dizzy housewife — still searching for herself and a direction in life besides trying to decide which man, actually which of three men, to love. Or, it could be the used-car salesman — the one character the audience automatically distrusts. Maybe it’s all three of them. Though the housewife has reason to murder the dentist and the husband has reason to murder the housewife and the dentist has reason to murder the husband, “Murder at the Howard JohnsonV* is not all murder. t And, after all attempts on life are made, someone matures, friendships are forged, selves are discovered and love reigns in “Murder at the Howard Johnson’s.” Tickets for the production, priced at $12 per person, can be purchased at Mountain Side Market in Washington, Royal Oak Bookstore in Front Royal and New Leaf Bookstore in Warrenton. Tickets can also be purchased at the box office this Friday and Saturday night. 1 Photo courtesy Olde Towne Theatre TOM SAWYER IS Paul Miller and Sheree Rainbolt-Kren plays Arlene Miller in ‘Murder at the Howard Johnson’s. ’ CO-OP SPRING INTO SAVINGS SALE Sale Ends March 16 3 CUBIC FOOT PEAT MOSS 6 $^^25 ItT PMTMOn'' #051P Vi GALLO MULTI"“11“^ PURPOSE m J POLY (TT SPRAYER $ 12 95 50 POUND BAKERS DOLIMITIC TURF LIME BLUNKS 3’x50’ LANDSCAPE FABRIC $^95 DELUXE GLOBAL BROADCAST CANVAS BAG SEEDER $ 18 /' 95, ' :"sr;v SERVISTAR r=v 3V2 HP 20” CUT WALK BEHIND MOWER w/BRIGGS & STRATTON ^ ENGINE $ 109 95 SPECIAL PURCHASE 25 POUND MANNA-PRO HEARTY DOG FOOD E HKABTT $395 I I BAG (Limit 1 Bag Per Customer 21% Protein) '/\ \ NOIMIWLBtTILII^50 POUND 1 aub tufwc riA»r, Wm.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan WINNERS AND SPONSORS of the Bland Music Contest were, from left: Bonnie Jewell, Paul Nichols, Jennifer Foster, Derek Daczewicz, Edna Shanks, Bob Scott and Alice Reeve. Musicians win Bland contest Two performers go on to state competition *** The Rappahannock Lions hosted this year’s winners of the Bland Music Contest during the Feb. 27 dinner meeting at the School House Restaurant. The five young performers, all students at RCHS, were awarded official certificates of participation by Bland Music chairman, Lion Paul Nichols, and each was given a government bond as first, second and third prizes. The annual music contest, sponsored by the Lions Clubs of Virginia, serve as a living memorial to James A. Bland, the distinguished black composer who, at the age of 19, composed “Carry Me Back to Ole Vir ginny.” As a result of Lion’s Club campaigning, the General Assembly of Virginia officially adopted Bland’s song as the state anthem in 1940. Judges included Kim Kiec, Virginia Scott, and Lions Mike Mahoney and Dave Smith. Lion Bob Scott served as master of ceremonies. Melinda Russell skillfully accompanied the nine of the eleven contestants who were vocalists. The winners, in the vocalist category: first prize went to Jennifer Foster, soprano, who sang “The Music of the Night,” by A.L. Webber; second prize went to Edna Shanks, soprano, singing “One Moment in Time,” by Hammond and Bettis; and third prize went to alto Alice Reeve with the selection “You’re the Inspiration,” by Celera and Foster. Only two prizes were given in the instrumentalist category: first prize went to Bonnie Jewell playing a solo for drum entitled “Simpson’s 2-4” by A.R. Simpson Jr. and second prize went to Deric Daczewitz for a piano rendition called “River Boat Sonata,” by Schaum. « The two first-prize winners will be encouraged to perform in future Bland Music contests at higher levels, where they will compete with other Virginia state winners for larger prizes and scholarships.

Wakefield came in second place after Shenandoah Christian School in Stephens City. Wakefield eliminated Emmanuel Christian School in Manassas, 63 to 50. The following day, Wakefield took on Seton School, also in Manassas, eliminating them from the finals with a score of 76 to 38. James Stephens of Front Royal scored 22 points in the game. In the championship game, Wakefield lost 92-65. Following the tournament, coaches from the eight schools and teams which make up the conference voted on the All-Conference Team. Two Wakefield students were accorded this honor: Jamed Stephens and Bobby Nelson, both of Front Royal. Team coach Jim Harris was pleased with the team’s performance this season. He added that Shenandoah Christian was a formidable opponent and his team played a strong game. Rapidan Hospice offers' 'special kind of care' $ Hospice care in Rappahannock, Madison, Orange, and Culpeper has been available for over eight years. More than 250 patients and their families benefit from Hospice of the Rapidan’s special kind of caring. According to Hospice’s Chairman of the Board, Bill Morton, “Area hospice care progresses to meet the technological advances in pain control. Hospice is an expert in physical pain control, spiritual needs, financial resources, and family education. “Personal care such as shaving, shampooing, bathing, or changing bed linens performed by hospice’s home health aide provides a break for the caregiver,” he said. Hospice care is available as needed. Visits may occur on a weekly or daily basis. Frequent communication with the patient’s physician eliminates potential complications and frequent hospitalizations. National studies conclude that patients and their families participating in hospice home care save money. Hospice of the Rapidan, partially funded by United Way, offers two benefits allowing additional cost savings. The Hospice Medicare Benefit is available for terminal patients with Medicare Part A; the Hospice Medicaid Benefit is available to hospice patients eligible for Medicaid. Coverage consists of unlimited nursing %, care, home health aide visits, medical social services and bereavement support. Volunteers provide emotional support and respite. After electing one of these benefits, the beneficiary retains eligibility for Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement for physician services and services not related to the life threatening condition. “These hospice benefits can literally save patients and families thousands of dollars,” continues Mr. Morton. “Families are so pleased when they no longer have these financial demands.” Hospice allows people to remain at home with symptoms controlled while family members are supported. Staff is available for questions and consultation 24 hours a day seven days a week. If you want hospice’s unique services for your family member, call 825-4840.

BZA Continued from page A-1 the church, which will house the parish hall, are two feet above the water table. Mr. Fletcher said that if the church were located further back from the road, it would be at a lower elevation, but that the water table would probably also be lower, and that if it weren’t drain tile could be used to carry water away from the building. He said that such,a location would make the church less visible and protect parishioners from the noise of the highway. James Ryan, chairman of the church’s building committee, said the parishioners wanted a church that' would fit in with the countryside, and, had planned for a white church with a green roof like the houses in the area. “Churches are supposed to be so^ people can come and see there’s the church, isn’t that nice, not where’s the church?” he said. “I urge you to let us get on with this.” Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing the church, said that since there is no height limitation on steeples in the zoning ordinance and since the proposed location for the church is farther back from the road that the 100 feet. required by the zoning ordinance, the BZA would be legislating, rather than interpreting the ordinance to require such changes. He said that if the BZA were to impose requirements such as Mr. Fletcher was suggesting, he would advise his clients not to accept them. Piedmont District representative James Swindler said, “One of the biggest assets the countyfias is wonderful views. I want to preserve those. This is a new building. We want to minimize its impact. This church is beautiful, but it is huge. When you come around the curve, you will not see the view. You will see the church.” He suggested the church be moved back further. When the BZA members were ready to vote, Mr. Swindler said he could not make the finding that “The proposed use will not cause an undue impact on the scenic qualities of the immediate area.” Chairman Butch Zindel said he could, and Wakefield District representative Jennifer Matthews said she could “with reservation,” so the special use permit was approved. Earlier the BZA had approved a special use permit for the Assemblies of God church to build a new church on a two-acre site just west of Route 622, the Gid Brown Hollow Road. Dogs Continued from page A-1 that there’s someone who’ll come to your home and do something like this,” said Mr. Armor. They started noticing the mother, “obviously nursing,” hanging around their bam, so they investigated in early January and found ’the six puppies under a floorboard. The mother was bone-thin and the Armors worried for her health and the safety of her puppies as the mercury dipped into the single-digits that month. Budget Continued from page A-1 program and for the pre-school handicapped program. These funds were not included in the current budget because the amounts weren’t known for the current year when that budget was prepared. They were included in a supplement to the budget presented to the Board of Supervisors in October. Dr. Gangel said he is worried about using the state’s estimate for revenue from the sales tax. That figure was cut significantly in the current budget, and he is concerned that the state’s estimate might again be high for next year. “If there is anything in the budget I have reservations on, it is that,” he said. “I have not brought the best possible budget I could bring,” Dr. Gangel told the board members. “I have brought the best possible given our fiscal condition.” Several cuts were made from the current budget to hold down costs to local taxpayers. The budget does not call for replacing the current transportation supervisor when he retires, a savings of $35,326. Also, one remedial math position has been switched from a locally funded position to one covered by federal funds, for a savings in local funds of $26,810. Since federal remedial programs are for students who test between the 25th and 40th percentiles, this means that regular classroom math teachers will have to provide an additional 15 minutes a day of math instruction for those testing below the 25th percentile. Dr. Gangel also told the board that he needs another first-grade teacher because of the large kinder garten class this year. Rather than ask for an additional teaching position, Dr. Gangel is proposing to split another teaching position three ways. One teacher teaches elementary art and provides direct instruction for elementary gifted students. She also oversees the gifted program at both schools. Dr. Gangel has proposed to cover this teaching assignment by replacing the part-time teacher’s aide who works with pre-school handicapped students with a volunteer, freeing the aide up for other assignments, by having the pre-school handicapped teacher handle other teaching assignments in the afternoon and by having a high school teacher cover some morning classes at the elementary school. Drivers’ education stipends of $6,000 have been eliminated from the proposed budget. Instead of offering drivers’ ed after school and on Saturdays, the high school physical education teachers will handle drivers’ ed during the school day. For those students who can’t schedule drivers’ ed during the regular school day, the elementary school physical education teacher can start her work day an hour later and teach drivers’ ed after school. Another savings comes from shifting $7,000 of the salary of one of the high school guidance teachers from local monies to funds from antidrug and dropout prevention grants. In order to begin offering Spanish at the high school, the current volunteer coordinator will work part-time at the high school, and the elementary principal will coordinate volunteers. Other savings come from eliminating the artist-in-residence program ($3,000), eliminating the subsidy for the seventh grade trip ($3,000), eliminating the after school athletic bus and reducing field trips THE VIRGINIA FROZEN FOOD ASSOCIATION PRESENTS COLD RCTS, HOT UPS FOR FROZEN FOOD MONTH 1991 MARCH IS NATIONAL FROZEN FOOD MONTH.

Day REALTOR DON'T SELL A HOUSESELL A HOME If you are considering selling your home, remember this bit of advice: Buyers are not looking for a roof to keep the rain off their heads - they re looking for a new lifestyle. You are not selling a house - you re selling a HOME! With this in mind, it's important that you set the stage for buyer showings. Keep your home clean, neat and cozy at all times. You might have to show it on short notice. The kitchen is the focal point of any home. Everything should be spioand-span with dishes washed and excess paraphernalia tucked away. Beds should be made, kids' clothes stowed and riot left where kids usually leave them (sometimes, on the floor). Decorator touches help a lot: Vases or pots of flowers, colorful pillows, mirrors on the walls to make rooms look more spacious. Mow the lawn, touch up any peeling paint. Dont start major renovations, but do make obviously needed small repairs, such as a leaky faucet, tom screen or peeling paint. Remember what you re selling. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, the Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone 675-3033. We re here to help. So they fed her — a 40-pound bagdisappeared the first week — and contacted the Animal Shelter. Mrs. Clark and Mr. Pullen had already noticed her and the male dog presumed to be at least one of the fathers, but they were not successful in trapping them. The rescue had to be postponed after Mr. Pullen was injured, afij£ was rescheduled for the weekend Mrs. Armor would be away. After recovering from the trauma of learning his wife had escaped with her life from the crash and fire, Mr. Armor continued with the rescue the next day. All six puppies were saved, and as of this week they have all been adopted — the) mother too. Friends of the Armors’ from; New Jersey adopted two puppies,” the Armors took Sperry and Shammy (Shamrock, for luck) and the shelter placed the last two pup£ pies and the mother this week. The efforts of Mrs. Clark and Mr/ Pullen, said Mr. Armor, are “a wohk derful example of what we’ve got out here. Now a mother and six puppies will have good homes.” Mrs. Clark said the shelter has been deluged with rescue missions since opening in November. The Armors are looking forward to the day, hopefully in a couple years, when they can move to Sharp Rock Farm full-time. “This place is a haven for both of us from the city,” said Mr. Armor. “If anything bad or sad were to happen to either of us, this is where we will go to heal.” * Cuts Continued from page A-1 ^ be ready for a public hearing sometiine in April. The county and Town of Washington have' approved a francise agreement to be presented to Adelphia. The town has appointed Attorney Frank Reynolds and Treasurer Brad Fisher to represent them in negotiations, and the supervisors asked Mr. McCarthy, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, and Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson to represent the county. Mr. Anderson is the only supervisor whose constituents won’t be getting cable TV.

I The Huntly dumpsters sit on a7 portion of the old section, but Mr.McCarthy said the state does not intend to abandon and sell the road* section, just to get it off their main-: tenance list. In fact, the highway department has not done any maintenance on that road section in years. In other business, the board appointed Lucy Ann Maeyer to the Recreational Facilities Board.

Veteran horses prevail in timber races By LOUISA WOODVILLE Times-Democrat Staff Writer SPERRYVILLE — Unseasonably warm weather coupled with Rappahannock’s infamous hills made racing especially challenging for horses competing at the Rappahannock Point-to-Point March 2. Such veteran horses as Topeador and Crab Apple took it all in their stride, besting their competition Eternally Irish and Nomoniker, both Casanova winners, by 15 and seven lengths respectively. Other winners over timber —there was no hurdle racing this year at Thornton Hill Farm — included Dr. Rogers’ Roses and Drums, Jill Waterman’s Worthy Key and Mrs. Fanning’s Palace Party. These horses secured comfortable victories at the wire. Rogers’ Blue Rocket, however, had to fight for his maiden hurdle win against Eskimo Point, who ran a nose behind the winner when the two crossed the wire. Topeador won his first owner-rider timber race of the 1991 spring season when he took the Ben Venue by 15 lengths over Casanova winner Eternally Irish. Topeador, who won the race in 1989 and 1990, retired the trophy for his owner, Henry Wood of Atlanta, Ga. As is his custom, Topeador took the early lead, but rider Bay Cockbum had Eternally Irish take over this job about halfway through the race. Though Topeador was galloping within striking distance, Cockbum’s mounts surged ahead to enjoy a fourlength advantage on the far side of the course. Coming down the hill, however, Wood saved time on the sharp left hand turn while Cockbum took it wide, and Topeador made up enough ground to outrun Eternally Irish by a resounding 15 lengths. . “I paid Bay to do it,” joked Wood about Cockbum’s wide maneuvering, adding that he thought the pace was fast. Wood said he thought Rappahannock’s infamous hills worked to his advantage. “My horse jumped a little better at Casanova, I think, but with these hills, your horse has to be pretty handy. I felt like he did a very good job,” he said. Jill Waterman, 16, won her first timber race when Worthy Key took the foxhunters’ timber race by countless lengths over Missy Monocacy and Leslie LeGore, the only horses left out of the original five-horse field. Worthy Key galloped past the wire first at Casanova, but Waterman cut a flag so was disqualified. “I felt pretty stupid (last week),” said the Foxcroft student, who ran in pony races for two or three seasons on the infamous pony, Little Fritz. At Rappahannock, Worthy Key took the lead and never relinquished it. “I didn’t know what to expect (over timber), but I just let him do what he wanted,” said Waterman, who whipped off her horse all season with Piedmont. “When we walked the course, I didn’t expect it to be that quick at all,” she added. “It goes by really fast." Dr. Joe Rogers of Hamilton saw two of his horses enter the winners’ circle. Roses and Drums, who won last year’s open timber race at Orange County’s pointto-point but fell the next three times, won Rappahannock’s open timber race with ease over Exuberant Speed and Greg Ryan. Winning jockey John Bosley said, “I thought he was getting tired going up (the hill), and then all of a sudden he got running again.” Rogers’ horse jumped to the lead early on, never relinquishing that position in spite of Exuberant Speed’s attempts to catch him. It was Roses and Drums race by a good 12 lengths, with the rest of the field galloping in about two minutes later. “We were just squeaking him around today,” said owner Dr. Rogers, adding that Roses and Drums had always been in front when he fell. Cockbum was back in the tack when Rogers’ Blue Rocket won over maiden timber. Best Ndrthem and Brooks Durkee, who were second last week at Casanova, set the pace until they were joined by Eskimo Point and Donnie Yovanovich at the seventh fence. Eskimo Point was at the last fence first, but when Bay unleashed Blue Rocket after the right-hand turn toward home, he squeaked by Eskimo Point by a nose at the wire. Best Northern was third by seven lengths and Last Mystic, Michael Traurig up, fourth. “My leather broke about half-way up the stretch,” said Cockbum. “I was taken badly wide by Brooks Durkee, and I couldn’t stop to pull up because I had already started to make my run. “He (Blue Rocket) just got down and did it. I sort of stood up on one iron; pulling up was more frightening than anything else.” Palace Party, a horse owned by Mrs. P.F.N. Fanning, trained by Louis “Paddy” Neilson and ridden by Michael Traurig, won the second division of maiden timber. The horse surged to the lead at the drop of the flag and never looked back, taking the race by countless lengths at the wire. “We didn’t expect him to win. I was just hoping that he’d run well,” said trainer Neilson about the horse’s first start over timber. The Irish-bred horse did two bumper and a hurdle race in Ireland but was uninspired over American hurdles, according to Neilson. “He was a useful kind of a horse,” he said, adding hi won on the flat when he came to the United States in 1989. Traurig also won the five-eighths of a mile flat race aboard Joan Fernandes’ Little Red Badge. Jockey Michael Traurig is the son of famous grandprix rider Bemie Traurig. “The boy rides better than his father,” boomed Neilson. Paravon, with rider Barry Duncan, won the second division of the flat race after Twin Pockets, Hilary Thorpe up, was disqualified for clipping heels.

March's almanac March, the changeable month, this year promises average temperatures, but look out for above average precipitation. Weather watch: The month comes in more like a lamb with 1, 2 expected to be partly cloudy and cool. Then, be prepared for periods of storms 3-5; 11, 12; 16-18; 23-25; 29April 1, all with either rain or snow. The rest of the month will be interwoven with periods of fair, but cool weather. Weil have to wait and see how accurate in their forecast wrere the Woolly Bears who turned up in Hagerstown .Jast October for the Eighth Annual Woolly Bear Contest. The consensus then was that the first half of the winter would be very cold and wet in the form of rain, snow and ice. But they predicted the second half would be relatively mild with above average temps and little snow. Spring: Though friend Groundhog emerged from his hideaway, saw his shadow and went back, pre dieting six more weeks of winter, it was all academic inasmuch as spring officially makes its presence known regardless on the 20th at 10:02 p.m. E.S.T. Palm Sunday, March 24th, will be stormy as will be Easter Day, the 31st, not the best time for your Easter bonnet in the Easter Parade. Full moon: We almost didn’t have a full moon for this month since it doesn’t rise until 2:17 a.m. on the 30th. Because late winter temperatures will affect the flow of sap in the maples in the sugar bush, this moon is referred to as the sap moon. Weather permitting and condition of the soil dry enough, get those peas in St. Patrick’s Day the 17th and sow tomato seeds in flat indoors on St. Joseph’s Day, the 19th. J. Gruber’s Thought For Today’s Living: If you want a new outlook on life. arise early enough to watch the sunrise as a new day begins full of promise and hope.

But have you ever really thought about it? This toddler is viewing her topsyturvy world with a smile on her face. As she grows older, she may perceive unstable situations as more threatening: yet she need not feel helpless if she is taught to face life with humor and with faith. Job 8:21 reassures us that God "...will yet fill your mouth with laughter.” Furthermore, James 1:6 instructs us to “... ask in faith without any doubting.” As we guide our children into adulthood, may we encourage them to live their lives with strength and a positive perspective as we worship with them in God’s house each week. With His word as our compass, the twists and turns in the paths of our lives need not turn our world upside down, as we walk hand in hand with God every day.

SMITH Home Extensibn Agent Children need security, affection, safe environment, plenty of rest, physical activity and a balanced and varied diet to maintain optimum health. Routine health and dental care are necessary to ensure a child’s physical well-being. Since March is observed each year as National Nutrition Month by the American Dietetic Association, I wanted to share some guidelines on nutrition for children and some kid-pleasing recipes in my column this week. These recommendations are for planning a well-balanced nutritious diet and offers tips for feeding children one through five years of age. About 50 nutrients are needed daily by both children and adults for body growth, maintenance and repair. No one food contains all of these nutrients in the required amounts. For this reason, a wide variety of foods from several different food categories should be consumed every day. HOME ECONOMICS The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set Recommended Dietary Allowances (U.S. RDA) for certain “key” nutrients. Getting enough of the “key” nutrients from food usually assures that needs for the rest of the 50 nutrients will be met as well. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences recommends 1,300 calories per day for children 1-3 years and 1,700 calories per day for children 4-6 years. This caloric intake is needed to provide energy for the growth process. Very active children or children large for their age may require extra calories daily. Foods high in nutrients and low in calories are nutrient dense. Calorie-dense foods are high in calories but low in nutrients. Some foods are nutrient dense in their natural state, but ingredients added during food preparation add calories and lower their nutrient density. For example, a plain baked potato is a nutrient-dense food. When that potato is fried in oil to make potato chips or French fries, it becomes calorie dense. Serve children nutrient-dense foods to prevent obesity and help those with a weight control problem. Children thrive on regularity and routine in their daily activities. Try to serve meals at the same time each day. Prices in this ad good Monday, March 4 thru Sunday, March 10,1991. USDA Choice Beef Boneless 12-14 Lbs. Ava.

Don’t be surprised if at first a child is cautious and curious, plays with food, is reluctant to try new foods and rebels when forced to eat. Try to be patient and relax as children go through this difficult period. Snacks are not always bad for children. Nutritious snack foods can help children obtain required nutrients. Since children have smaller stomachs than adults, serving three small meals with a nourishing snack in between each meal may be more appropriate for children than serving three large meals. - Frequent snacking may contribute to tooth decay. Clean children’s teeth each day and check with a dentist about the need for fluoride. Here are some mealtime tips: • Seat children at a table for meals and snacks ; and discourage them from eating while walking or standing. • Cover the floor, directly under a child’s seat, with paper, vinyl or plastic. • Purchase a spoon or fork with a short, straight, broad, solid handle; the spoon should have a wide mouth and the fork should have blunt tines. Children will begin to feed themselves with a spoon and will learn to use a fork later. , • Young children should use unbreakable, bowl-shaped dishes when they first start to feed themselves. • Place food at the level of a child’s stomach, where it is less tiring for a child to reach. • Encourage finger feeding by serving meat, vegetables, bread and cheese in julienne strips or finger sandwiches, which are easy to handle. • Cut all foods for children except those which can be easily handled by a child. • Encourage children to try at least one bite of a new food. If after one bit a child rejects it, reintroduce the food later. The following kid-pleasing recipes are from Judy Burke, director of food service for Rappahannock County Public Schools. They are nutritious and should appeal to the teens and adults in your family as well as the children. bur-try spaghetti 4 ozs. spaghetti 2 This, cooking oil 2 carrots, thinly sliced 1 med. onion, chopped 1 stalk celery 1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped 2 cups cabbage, chopped 2 green zuchini, thinly sliced 1/20 oz. can red kidney beans 1/15 oz. can tomato sauce, herb flavoring 1 tsp. basil, dried, crushed Dash garlic salt Cook spaghetti; drain, keep warm.

Races Continued from page B-1 made it two in a row when Crab Apple beat Casanova winner Nomoniker owned by Charles Matheson and ndden by Michele Rouse. Crab Apple went to the front e*rly, but by the eighth fence Nomoniker was setting the pace. At threequarters of a mile to go, Crab Apple regained the lead, hugging corners to gain ground and racing on the flat to finish by seven lengths. “I think it helped a lot (that Crab Apple knew the course). He knows Jayvees end season with 14 wins By MARK SCOLFORO Rappriiannock Newi Staff Writer STRASBURG—Despite a 19point, six rebound effort by Kevin Jolliffe, the Rappahannock High jayvee basketball team’s season was ended by Clarke County on Feb. 27. The jayvees ended the season with a 14-5 record, finishing in third place in the Bull Run District. Clarke and Stonewall Jackson played for the district title Friday night in Broadway. Coach Tim Corder said his squad was outmatched on the boards, and turnovers also hurt the Panthers. They had so much height, we just got killed on the boards, and turnovers were definitely a factor,' said Coach Corder. The Eagles led at halftime, 3423, before running away with the game in the second half. Patrick O’Meara scored 12 points for Rappahannock and pulled in five rebounds. Freshman Jonathan Fletcher poured in nine points and snagged six rebounds. Coach Corder said prospects for next year are good, with Fletcher and starter Hunter Foster returning to the 14-5 squad. He said eighthgraders Paul Brown, Roy Atkins and Jason Settle are also expected to contribute next season. This year’s team, however, did well against the tough district competition, ending up in a three-way tie for first after the regular season. Only Clarke County beat the Panth, ers twice. I where the turns are,” said winning jockey Dugan. The pace was fast, with the horse’s winning time at 4:45.1. “I was getting run away with. Well, not really run away with, but he was very strong,” Dugan said. On the flat, 1991 leading point-topoint trainer Mairhead Carr saw the Abeel’s Kool Mars, Greg Ryan up, gallop to victory on the flat. Down the stretch jockey Bay Cockbum got Eyre Apparent up and galloped to catch Kool Mars, but the Abeel’s horse staved off the challenge by half a length at the wire. According to trainer Carr, the horse is headed for the timber ranks. In the second division of the open flat race, Jack Kent Cooke’s Big Estero with Gerry Newman won by 1% lengths over Tuniche and Thorpe, who finished almost neckand-neck at the wire. Juniors took to the turf in the sixth race of the day, galloping their ponies for 2/3 of a mile. Kevin Selby’s Scuttlebutt took the small-medium pony division, with Danielle Brewster on Go Flight winning a nose over Kelly Jaske’s large pony, Sooner or Later.

Laimbeers take hunter pair by two minutes By LOUISA WOODVILLE Times-Democrat Staff Writer SPERRYVILLE — Warrenton Hunt member Rick Laimbeer and his sister Daphrie galloped almost two minutes faster than second place finishers Kirsten Oleson and Michael Murphy at the Rappahannock Hunter Pace Event March 2. Some optimum competitors—the Paul Bemath-Marc Blanchard and Richard-Rick Beckels duos—actually had faster times than the second-place finishers but were signed up for optimum and therefore judged in that category. Optimum was set at 8:33. The closest pair to that time belonged to Ashley Settle and Leah Ann Leary of the Rappahannock Hunt, whose horses The Black Imp and Rock the Boat galloped the course in 8:31. Adult optimum competitors Terry Reideler and Moody Aylor, Warrenton Hunt members out of Ay tor's Rappahannock stable, clocked in at 8:24 aboard Bridgette and Cous-Cous. Their closest competiton was a Middleburg team: Kitty Smith and Billy Benton, whose 8:56 time secured for them second place in optimum. RESULTS FAST TIME. 1.
