Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan SCIENCE STUDENTS Michele Raynor, left, Holly Moffett and Becky Smith examine one of the displays at the Science Fair last week. Fair challenges kids' knowledge of science By SHARON KIRKPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Elementary school principal Bemie Chesshir judged the Science Fair a success. “It’s been a very hectic two days,” he said at the awards assembly Friday afternoon. “There were three times as many entries as last year. There are no winners and losers. If you had a project out there, you are a winner.” Following the county fair, 24 students will go on to compete at the regional science fair at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville March 25-27. In the senior division, for students in grades 9-12, Matt Eidson won first place for physics. His project demonstrated how to use fiber optics to improve the transmission of light. Emma Swatman, Justin Da vis and Jeff Pines were runners-up in physics. Patrick O’Meara won for chemistry in the senior division. He studied the effect of heat on growing rock candy crystals in a super saturated solution. Keith Switzer, Brian Wayland and John Mallory were runners-up. In the category for Earth science or ecology, Grace Reynolds was the local winner with a project of making paper by recycling other paper. Lisa Manwaring was runner-up. Susan Estes was the local winner in life science. Her project involved testing the effects of pesticides on fruit flies and on sod samples the pesticides were supposed to protect. Amy Kellert won runnerup. See SCIENCE, p. A-7 Schools approve 'miracle' budget in unanimous vote By SHARON KIRKPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer With no discussion of the individual line items, the School Board approved a $4.4 million budget for the coming year Tuesday night. No members of the public were present to comment on the budget, which was approved as it was presented by School Superintendent David Gangel last Tuesday. “I’m sorry we don’t have more comments, but there is no great deal of leeway we have this year,” Chairman Beverly Massie commented. “The superintendent has been creative in moving the funding around so we are able to keep all our staff. Neighboring divisions are not able to keep all their staff. “I don’t look forward to more than a year like this,” she continued. “As a school division we have prided ourselves that we have never had to go back to the supervisors after we finish a budget. For the first time I can’t fully say we know we won’t have to come back. When it comes to bus motors we have run into difficult ties this year. We have to keep the schools running. They may have to help us out.” See SCHOOL, p. A-8 Rush River Mill project hits financial barrier By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer Efforts to restore the Rush River Mill at Washington, Va. have been stymied by the inability of its owners and a preservation group to agree on a price for the historic property. An auction last month by Peter Kramer and Joel Fisher, the mill’s owners, produced a top bid of $67,000 for the dilapidated mill and about four acres of land. That bid was refused by the owners. Since the auction, Robert deTreville Lawrence Sr., president of the non-profit Save the Railroad Station Inc. of The Plains, has been trying to convince the mill’s owners to break the property into two pieces and sell the mill separately. So far, Mr. Lawrence said, no agreement has been reached. The mill dates from the 1700s, and at one time during the 1950s was used for a series of summer symphony concerts. However, in decent years it has fallen into disrepair and now is missing large sections of its clapboard siding. Mr. Lawrence said he made an inspection of the mill before the auction and found it “sound inside. It has some very fine old timbers, and See MILL, p.

The budget calls for an increase of $8,152 in county funds for the operation of the library. “I would have no trouble supporting this budget;” Chairman William Young said. “We’re not coming in with anything outlandish. There’s not anything that couldn’t have been anticipated.” The largest part of the increase is $3,500 for fuel oil to heat the new building. Another $1,290 is for insurance for the larger building. Other increases are for postage, telephone service and salaries. The budget also shows a slight increase in state aid for the library. The state contribution of $12,974 covers part of the salaries and pays for books and magazine subscriptions. This is up from the state contribution of $12,786 this year, but down from the amount included in the current budget. See LIBRARY, p. A-8 Joblessness in county goes through the roof By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Unemployment in Rappahannock County hit 15.6 percent in January, its highest rate since the recession began and more than two and a half times the 6.2 percent rate just 12 months ago, according to figures released by the Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission. Job service manager Robert Hale-Cooper said the 544 people in Rappahannock who are looking for work represent both a drop in construction activity and the January closing of Hatch Natural Foods, which laid off about 30 people. Mr. Hale-Cooper also said that Rappahannock is tied to the surrounding communities, which are also feeling a drop in economic activity. He said that many Rappahannock residents work in Fauquier, where the jobless rate has increased from 1.5 percent in 1989 to 4.9 percent in January. But the 15.6 percent jobless rate in Rappahannock is still larger than anticipated, said Mr. Hale-Cooper. “That kind of puzzles us at this point,” said Mr. Hale-Cooper. “We do know Rappahannock is affected like the larger communities by the drop in heavy construction activity. And the number of people in Rappahannock is so sparse that the numbers of people out of work affect the rateimore.” Mr. Hale-Cooper said the closing of Sperryville’s Hatch Natural Foods, a mail-order . .theTtumber of people in Rappahannock is so sparse that the numbers of people out of work affect the rate more. ’ — Robert Hale-Cooper Va. Employment Comm. distribution company that was privately owned, added enough unemployed workers to affect the rate in Rappahannock by about one percentage point. Sharp increases in joblessness across the five-county Planning District 9 were first noticed in November, said Mr. Hale-Cooper. Other localities, their jobless rates and their rates a year ago (in parentheses): Culpeper, 8.5 percent (5 percent); Fauquier, 4.9 percent (2.9 percent); Madison, 5.4 percent (4 percent); Orange, 8.1 percent (4.1 percent); Virginia, 5.8 percent (4.4 percent); U.S., 7 . percent (5.9 percent).

The game had originally been scheduled as a scrimmage, but when the Panthers arrived at RandolphMacon the coaches agreed to play it as a regular-season match, according to RCHS coach Mike Tupper. The win puts the team record at 1-0, 0-0 in the district, and already ties last season’s 1-15 squad for victories. “We did real well,” said Coach Tupper. ‘We had only had a couple of days outside, and because the basketball team was in the tournament we had only settled on positions last week.” “It’s a young team, and we’re just working on building the program this year,” said Mr. Tupper. On the 18-member team, only three are seniors and seven are freshmen and sophomores. “The future looks good, but learning the fundamentals are, of course, the key,” said Mr. Tupper. On Saturday, the Panthers scored 18 runs on 11 hits, had four errors and left nine men on base. Rappahannock benefited from some erratic pitching by Randolph-Macon, said the coach. Freshman pitcher Hunter Foster started the game and went three and two-thirds innings before giving way to Mitch Terry. Although technically four innings are needed for a win, Coach Tupper gave it to Foster, who had four strike-outs. Terry had two strike-outs in relief. Mr. Tupper said shortstop Tom Brown and second baseman Justin Ferrance played well on defense, and that Kevin Daymude “hit one that would have been out of our park. He crushed it.” He also played well at catcher, said Mr. Tupper. In outfield, said the coach, Justin Butler made a “major league” catch. The Bull Run District promises to be competitive this year, with Clarke, Brentsville and George Mason projected as preseason favorites. The Panthers open the season March 22 against Strasburg. Coach Tupper is in his first year teaching and coaching in Rappahannock.

Softball opens March 20. Coach Leake hopes to make tournament By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Coach Renee Leake has high hopes for her Rappahannock High varsity girls’ softball team this year. “I’ll be disappointed if we don’t finish fourth in the district or higher this year,” said Mrs. Leake, the only coach the four-year-old program has ever had. In addition to several returning players who were all-Bull Run District last year, the team has extra motivation, said Mrs. Leake: a new field. Thanks to extensive grading done by Steve and Nancy Leake (no relation), the softball team will play its games at the same time as the baseball team, but at the other end of the school. “The new field is the key motivator that’s been getting us going,” said Mrs. Leake. “This year the girls are really putting a lot of pride into it.” Like the varsity baseball team, the softball squad is young, with only four seniors on the 14-person roster. With their opening game against Luray at home still a few weeks away, Mrs. Leake has been running the Lady Panthers through spring training, settling on final cuts this week. Of the returning players, junior Sherron Boddie is perhaps the most accomplished, having been voted first-team all-Bull Run District two years running. Mrs, Leake said Miss Boddie hit almost .400 last year with power and had an extra-base hit in every game. “She’s our cleanup hitter. She has an excellent arm, and the other girls all have a lot of confidence-in her defensive skills,” said Mrs. Leake. Sophomore Emma Swatman returns this season after being voted second-team all-Bull Run shortstop. Coach Leake said she is a preseason favorite to make first-team this year. “Emma probably has the best glove of any girl I’ve ever seen,” said the coach. Page County is expected to contend for the district title, but Mrs. Leake said she would be satisfied with making the post-season tournament. Tourney berths go to the top four finishers, but last year’s 8-6 team (76 in the district) came in fifth, one spot from post-season action. Seniors are Heidi Maeyer at third base, Edna Shanks at second and pitcher, Danish exchange student Mette Eilstrup in the outfield and Diana Hudson in the outfield. Miss Boddie and catcher-outfielder Angela Pullen are returning juniors, and Heather Coffey, another junior, is slated for outfield duty. Mrs. Leake said Miss Pullen is expected to be one vf the team’s leading hitters. Miss Swatman, starting pitcher Susan Payne and outfielder Lori Paratore are the returning sophomores. Miss Paratore is sick is expected to miss several weeks, said the coach. Fine Foods • Wines . Gift Baskets • Catering vlS^K- $$} Assorted WineSpecials for March VINA SANTA RITA.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1991 /Editorial United again The scene in Fauquier County this week demonstrated to returning troops that sentiment in this region was completely beside them for the last six months. Vint Hill Farms Station showed its support, and its pride, in the reception given to a detachment of the 201st Military Intelligence Battalion returning from Persian Gulf duty early last Saturday morning. Never mind that it was 1 a. m., or that the mercury hovered near freezing. More than 100 people stood in a cold March wind to welcome the troops as they arrived back at the base after their deployment with Operation Desert Storm. For those who witnessed the family reunions, it was an . occasion we will never forget. This was more than a joyful homecoming after a long trip — for these families, the possibility that their loved ones might not come home was an ever-present fear for six long months. The reception and celebration at Vint Hill was repeated across the country last week, and will continue for weeks to come as the troops come home. The sentiments expressed by the soldiers told the story. of why America sent more than a half-million fighting men and women to liberate a tiny country on the other side of the globe. , It was not oil we fought for. Staff Sgt. Riley Issac ' summed up their feelings when he described his reaction as I he watched Cable News Network, and the reports of protests against the war. “Being an American . . . they have the right to protest. . . .That freedom is what we were fighting for.” The support expressed by countless Americans in many ways — from flags flying in the breeze, to yellow ribbons on lampposts and car antennas, to the bags of cards and letters addressed to “Any Serviceman, Operation Desert Storm” — marked a deep change from the bitterness and rancor that divided the country during the Vietnam War. Just as Vietnam tore the country apart, this war seemed ■ to unite America. Although foreign policy experts will debate for years the wisdom of our involvement in the Middle East, there is little question that our response to a bullying ■ dictator’s aggression against his weak neighbor will stand as a milestone in American history. America still faces the same domestic problems it did when Saddam Hussein invaded Iraq last August. For six long months, most of those concerns were put aside as we ' confronted his aggression. Those problems have not gone away. But perhaps the new-found confidence the country has gained through the success of Operation Desert Storm can be put to a constructive use in addressing, and conquering, some * of the seemingly intractable problems facing us at home — in much the same way as our military faced and conquered the obstacles it faced in the sands of Kuwait. r Letters Ill-conceived argument To the Editor: I know you don’t get many letters, and you have a responsibility to give expression to all sides of an issue. But I would rather see white space on the editorial page than to see such ill-conceived writing as the letter, (Feb. 28) from Nol Putnam. Mr. Putnam says he “wonders to himself’ about the flags and ribbons, but what does he wonder, I wonder. He never says! Presumably, he feels that support for our troops, which by implication he shares, should not be openly expressed. His meaning is difficult to fathom, the chore made more difficult by such errors as the lack of a question mark for the rhetorical question at the end of the paragraph. The first “sentence” of his second paragraph is not a sentence at all, lacking as it does any verb to give it meaning. Mr. Putnam wonders if there was any debate outside the administration. This man must live in a cave! Doesn’t he remember the debate in Congress, on TV, and in the newspapers? What does anethesia have to do with military terminology? Why and in what way are cowboys inadequate? Finally, how can he support our troops if they are breaking a commandment that, by his quotation, Mr. Putnam implies is valid and absolute? I do not mean to imply that the uneducated have no right to express their views, but surely an editor edits! I think there is no Nol Putnam. I think you created this letter, tongue-in-check, as an example of fuzzy thinking and bad grammar. BILL FITZSIMONS Flint Hill Bush has failed U.S. To the Editor: George Bush has failed America with his policies in the Persian Gulf region and in whipping America’s consciousness up into an approval of war for settling differences. The Urantia Book, the fifth epochal revelation of our planet, says that war “is the natural state and heritage of evolving man; peace is the social yardstick measuring civilization’s advancement.” It also states that war “is an animalistic reaction to misunderstandings and irritations; peace attends upon the civilized solution of all such problems and difficulties.” War is never an answer - it is an admission of failure. The truth is that we have all failed. George Bush has failed, those who supported his war have failed, and the protesters who hoped to prevent it or end it have failed. But perhaps by putting down our flags — whether our purpose had been to wave them or to burn them - and admitting this truth to ourselves we can become one people again, rather than a coalition of power groups, and the “rights” versus the “wrongs.” PETER B.

RONALD R. MARSHALL Culpeper Pets need controlling To the Editor: This letter is in regard to an incident that happened to my daughter. She had decided to walk to the store at the end of Route 729, which is generally referred to as the Ben Venue Road. Upon hearing dogs barking, she became aware of a Rottweiller and a mixed-breed dog pounding down the driveway towards her. All the while the dogs were approaching they were growling and barking. My daughter was petrified. P'eing an animal lover herself, she is generally not afraid of dogs. This proved to be an exception to the rule. She quickly came to a conclusion: she better put distance between the two. Running, she started towards the direction from which she came. Fortunately, for herself as well as the owner, she made it. My daughter called the dogs’ owner immediately. He felt that the incident was really of no importance. Concerning the Rottweiller, he stated, “that the dog w'as merely a puppy and wouldn’t bite.” The dog didn’t bite, because he wasn’t given the opportunity. It is interesting to know, that the owner’s son and stepdaughter claim that the dogs will bite. Hopefully, the owner is aware of the consequences should those dogs bite someone. May he also be aware of certain county ordinances; which states that the owner is responsible for the confinement of his dogs. It is the owner’s responsibility to have such dogs chained or fenced in. Those who choose to walk down the state maintained roads has the right to request that their safety be protected. If you, as the pet’s owner, cannot provide that safety, then maybe the dog warden can. JUDY EASTHAM Boyce Prayers did it To the Editor: I have heard many prayers, heard of many prayer sessions, and have even seen quite a few pictures of prayer being offered (and I’ve done quite a bit myself) for the troops in the Persian Gulf. All of these and more have certainly been answered. My question now is, “What now?” Do we just forget about praying? I pray not. Please keep the church prayer sessions, the group prayer meeting and especially the home prayers going. He is so worthy to be praised in war and peace. Those same prayers that were prayed for the ending of the war (and don’t think for one minute President Bush wasn’t praying too) can also end the war on drugs, murder and any other problems facing us. Think about these things as a small example for needing continued prayer: 1. The disagreeable weather that put a damper on the fighting. 2. Shifting of the sand that revealed the location of so many land mines that had been set for our troops. 3. The voluntary surrender of thousands of the enemy troops. But mostly think of the joy, the tears and happiness of the families waiting for the return of their sons and daughters and keep the praying going. RUTH YOUNG Sperryville Trout brief was noticed To the Editor: Your use of our children’s trout story on March 7 was appreciated, not only by us but by your readers. This I know because I received two phone calls Thursday morning almost as soon as the paper was delivered. No reason for the calls really, because all the needed info was in your note. They seemed to want only to chat about what a good thing this was, etc. Both callers were ladies, incidentally. One caller did want to know if she needed a license just to watch. GEORGE HUBER Etlan

Red Cross chapter moves toward restart Area residents who are interested in restarting the FauquierRappahannock Red Cross chapter said they are one step closer after last Tuesday’s public meeting at Airlie in Warrenton. National and area Red Cross representatives met with more than 50 people concerned with organization’s fate to discuss reforming the chapter. The chapter’s board voted to close the doors last December when it had a shortage of volunteers and revenue, making it difficult to keep the chapter going. “Those who attended the meeting were enthusiastic,” said Louise Strother Leas of Delaplane, a volunteer working to restart the 75-year-old chapter. “Almost^all signed cards committing to serve as volunteers and on an interim board.” The interim board, comprised of 13 residents, will hold its first meeting at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 16, at the Red Cross office, South Third Street, Warrenton. Interested persons are urged to attend. Currently, the Prince William chapter has taken over Fauquier’s and Rappahannock’s mandated services; 24-hour disaster relief assistance, and service to military families. In order to restart the chapter, according to Red Cross officials, the Fauquier chapter would have to assemble a large number of volunteers to resume the man dated services and raise a large sum of money to pay off debt accrued by the former chapter. The chapter must reorganize by June, or moves will be made to dissolve it and to consolidate it with other area chapters. “The idea of consolidating some chapters [such as Rappahannock’s] is a mistake. We have great pride in this county . . . we shouldn’t let this chapter fade away,” said Mrs. Leas. “People won’t want to contribute as much if it becomes a satellite office. We need to get more young or retired people who are interested in getting involved,” said Mrs. Leas. The Red Cross has the support of some area businesses as well. Napoleon’s restaurannt in Warrenton hosted a “Victory Party” Tuesday evening, March 5. ‘We wanted to honor the troops for a job well done and make it a fundraisers for the Red Cross,” said restaurant owner Phil Harway. “We want to stay active with the Red Cross. And there are so many organizations in the county that can use the support.” Though the RappahannockFauquier chapter is not opened, the money raised will be put into a special account for Red Cross services rendered in the county, according to Harway. Napoleon’s matched the “several hundred” dollars raised during the evening. Sunshine to follow snowy end of week By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Snow, rain sleet and cold temperatures: They’re all part of the weather forecast for the next couple of days — a firm reminder spring has not yet arrived. “After all these weeks of cold weather, our cycles start to tell us it’s time for warm weather,” local weather watcher Dennis Wingfield of Sperryville said, adding that even though our “cycles” tell us it’s spring, the thermometer tells us different. “The first 10 days of March are running about the same as last year,” he said. Last year was about average. And while March temperatures keep the mercury in its usual chilly spot, temperatures in February were high. “February 1991 was 4l/> degrees colder than last February, the second warmest on record,” Mr. Wingfield said, adding February 1990 was 8V4 degrees warmer than February 1989. As last year, this year’s warm days of February gave Mother Nature a gentle push forward, causing peach and other early fruit to show just a bit too much blossom for this time of year. “Already, some peaches are beginning to show some pink,” Extension Agent Tommy Williams said, adding that many fruit trees in the area are about “two weeks ahead of schedule.” The blast of arctic air the county has felt since the weekend is just what the orchard keeper has ordered. “We need to stay cold about another two weeks,” Mr. Williams said, adding that the cold won’t plants, just slow growth, while warmth will force buds to mature that will probally be harmed by later cold. “Peaches are our concern now,” he said, referring to last year and the sudden warmth in mid-March that opened blooms that later frosted. “We lost nearly 90 percent of our crop last year,” Mr. Williams said of peach orchards that run the length and width of Rappahannock County. And while the first 10 days of March 1991 resemble those of last March, mid-March brings the change. Tax help available Taxpayers in Rappahannock County can get free help with their tax returns through two programs sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service. v Help is 'available for lower income, handicapped, and elderly (over 60) taxpayers. The following locations are holding training courses: Luray, Page County Senior Center, 9 a.m.-l p.m. Tuesday. Warrenton, Peoples National Bank, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Friday; Fauquier Community Action, 10 a.m.-l p.m. Saturday (call 347-7000). “I was recording temperatures like 71 degrees, 80 degrees, 84 degrees, 81 degrees, 78 degrees and 76 degrees,” Mr. Wingfield said of his records. His weather books record wind, rain and sun of decades. And while March 10, 1990 was 70 degrees, March 10, 1991 recorded a high of only 43 degrees. “I also recorded seven inches of snow after” those high temperatures of 1990, he said with laughter. And while the county shoveled snow in March of last year, and in April, no snow fell in February. “We only had one inch this year in February,” Mr. Wingfield said, adding while precipation levels were low in February 1991 — only 1.06 inches— March has put forth the effort to make up the difference. “We are looking pretty good for moisture,” Mr. Williams said, adding there is “never an excess but wheat crops look healthy and the winter months have been good for grazing livestock.” “We’ve already recorded 2.66 inches of rain this month,” said Mr. Wingfield. While precipation levels may be low, ground water levels remain adequate.

Caledonia Farm, off the Fodderstack Road between Washington and Flint Hill, and the John W. Miller House in Slate Mills, were recognized by the Virginia Board of Historic Resources last spring. Their listing in the National Register is the final step in certification as historic landmarks, according to a U.S. Department of the Interior spokesman. Caledonia Farm is a 52-acre tract in the shadow of The Peak, just west of Flint Hill along the old wagon road to the county seat. The two-story, Federal-style fieldstone farmhouse was built in 1812 for John Dearing, a veteran of the Revolutionary War. It is, according to historians, representative of the type of property carved out of the rolling Piedmont by prosperous farmers during the early 19th century. One of the most distinguishing features of the home’s interior is a hand-crafted mantle. It was reportedly hewn by former Hessian soldiers who settled in the area following the Revolutionary War, taking up woodworking tools as journeyman carpenters. The stone house is surrounded by a grove of maples and pines. A summer kitchen, also made of fieldstone, was connected to the main house by a breezeway in the 1950s. The summer kitchen, along with the house and the Dearing family cemetery, are the historically significant structures on the farm. The family cemetery dates from 1839, and is the resting place of Col. Dearing. “Everyone recognizes that this is the finest stonework home done,” said Caledonia Farm’s owner, Phil Irwin. “It is the last of perhaps eight Shanks enlists for Navy duty Herbert Philip Shanks recently enlisted in the United States Navy for guaranteed training at the Navy’s Yeoman “A” School. .Mr. Shanks, the son of Barbara L. Shanks of Washington, is a 1990 graduate of Rappahannock High School. Enlisting under the Delayed Entry Program, he will report to Recruit Training Center Orlando, Florida for active duty, where he will undergo basic training. Following basic training, Mr. Shanks will begin eight weeks of schooling at Orlando, FI., in the clerical field. Yeomen perform secretarial and clerical work. They deal with visitors, telephone calls, and incoming mail. They organize files, operate duplicating equipment, and order and distribute supplies. They write and type business and social letters, notices, directives, forms, and reports. They also maintain files and officer service records. ^INCORPORATED — Regular Sales P Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st Tues., 1 p.m. Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale •Consignments Welcome.

The similarity of architecture is notable.” Although initials were discovered in one of the stones of the chimney, along with the date of its building, the name of the stonemason has not been positively established. j Mr. Irwin, who operates a bed and breakfast in the historic home, has donated an historic preservation easement on the property to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The easement, according to an Historic Resources spokesman, allows the owner property rights to the historic landmark, “while granting the Commonwealth the authority to protect the significant historic and architectural characteristics of the property.” The easement includes provisions that obligate any owner of the property from taking actions incompatible with the preservation of the landmark, including development or subdivision of the property which would adversely impact the historic characteristics of the property. In addition to the historic easement protecting the house, Caledonia Farm is already protected by a scenic easement granted to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation in 1974. “Caledonia Farm is an important landmark for Virginia,” said Hugh C. Miller, director of the Department of Historic Resources, “and the assurance that this house and land will be preserved for future generations is particularly important in a county well known for its rural and scenic beauty.” The John W. Miller House was built in 1842-43, about 10 years after Caledonia Farm. It is a basic “I” form farmhouse that was adorned in the 1880s with Italianate features, including an eleborately embellished two-story front porch, on the southwest elevation. The house, according to the Interior Department documentation of the house, “rises above interpretation solely as a Rappahannock farm dwelling because of the sophistication of its Italianate ornamentation. “The combination of buildings and the associated cemetery, when considered in conjunction with the extensive archival records that are available for the property, provide a VWARRANIV • Rear tinea, powered wheelal e So easy, you guide It with JUST ONE HAND®/ • Models slied tor every garden! e Factory-authorized sales and service!

PHIL MILTON lives in the Miller House now. microcosm cosm of life in rural Rappahannock County.” In addition to the “I” form construction, the house also exhibits characteristics of farmhouses through the region, including a central passage and a two-story plan with matching chimneys on each end. Along with the main residence, there are three outbuildings on the property that also contribute to the historic significance of the site. A summer kitchen (combined with a separate quarters apparently used by the farm’s cooks), an ice house and a barn date from the same era. According to the architectural analysis, the family cemetery is also a contributing feature. The property’s significance is increased, according to the analysis, By its proximity to the ruins of the Slate Mills, an industrial plant con structed by Mr. Miller shortly after he built his home. He processed grains at the mill, as well as producing ground plaster. The village of Slate Mills grew up around Miller’s business, according to the department’s historians. Registration of the properties on the historic register, according to Mr. Miller, places no restrictions on their use by the owners. “The majority of landmarks are privately owned and have never been open to the public. Registration is mainly an of* ficial and honorific recognition that a district is a historic and cultural resource for the state and nation and should be perserved. “Listing on the Virginia Land-4 marks Register calls public attention to Virginia’s extraordinary wealth of historic buildings and sites, and is designed to encourage local preservation efforts,” Mr. Miller added.

ELEMENTARY STUDENTS going to the regional science fair are, from left: Van Carney, Sharee Dunagen, Holly Gangel, Sara Klatko, Katie Heberle, Sam Riley, Willie Eastham, Nathan Flinchum, Mike Passieux and Sarah Riley. Science Continued from page A-1 In the junior division, for students in sixth through eighth grades, Nathan Flinchum was the local winner in physics. His project demonstrated the effect of a column of water in creating water pressure. Shannon Eastham and Van Carney were runners-up. Sarah Riley was the local junior winner in chemistry. Her project was a study of testing common household products to determine which were acids and bases using a testing agent she made from boiling red cabbage. Sara Klatko and Katie Heberle were runners-up. Jim Clark won the Earth science or ecology junior award for study of heat storage in his passive solar home. Willie Eastham and Sam Riley were runners-up. In life science Sharee Dunagen was the local winner for her project of growing bacteria that she had collected from her hands, doorknobs and trash cans. Holly Gangel was runner-up. A local winner for model building was Mike Passieux. - His project, called “Hang Saddam Hussein for War Crimes,” involved rolling a marble down a ramp, which moved a lever attached to a wheel, tightening a string passing around various objects and ultimately tied to a screw. The tension pulled the screw loose, dropping a platform supporting a small military figure with a very bushy mustache. Without the platform the figure dropped to the end of a string around its neck. t or the regional lair, tne runners-up will compete on equal footing with the local winners. Students can work to improve their projects before the next level of competition. (Faculty members are suggesting that Mike Passieux enter something somewhat less controversial.) Judges for the science fair were teachers and members of the community: Tom Von Fange, Patty Waddell, Brion Patterson, William Sealock, Jim Rozak, Jim Futtress, Dave Smith, Sid Gottlieb, Diane Wood, Paul Nichols, Robert Darby and Maggie Rogers. High school physics students judged entries, mostly class projects, from students in kindergarten through fourth grade. Later they did demonstrations for classes of elementary students in the gym. Jan Dodson and Diana Hudson presided at Newton’s Cafe, demonstrating the natural law that states that an object at rest will tend to remain at rest. They snatching a tablecloth out from under a place setting of plate, fork, knife, filled wine goblet, wine bottle, lit candle in a candlestick, and flower in a vase containing colored water. They let some of the younger students try the same trick with only the plate, fork and knife on the tablecloth. Susan Estes and Becky Smith demonstrated angular velocity. They sat a younger student in a laundry basket and spun him around. The student was to hold weights in his hands, and when he was going pretty fast pull his arms in, making himself spin faster. This worked better with smaller volunteers. Douglas Kilpatrick searched for a replacement for his missing partner to demonstrate the Doppler effect with a foam football with a noisemaker in it. As the football approached, the sound rose in pitch and dropped as the ball went past. Jennifer Tomedon performed a demonstration of a nuclear chain reaction. A large terrarium held mouse traps and table tennis balls. A ball dropped on a mousetrap set off a chain reaction of bouncing balls. Mette Eilstrup, Juliana Volkmar and Ane Zorriqueta challenged elementary students to break an egg by throwing it into a sheet outside. The eggs didn’t break because the sheet slowed the force of the impact. “If you threw it against the wall it would break because the impact would be shorter in time,” they explained. The remnants of eggs on the brick wall testified to the truth of this observation. Heidi Maeyer, John Mallory and Holly Moffett demonstrated centrifugal force by spinning a full water goblet on a platform and keeping the water in the goblet. This was very popular but not always successful as the whole contraption occasionally slipped of the finger at the center of the spin, sending platform, goblet and water into space. vii i yy i County public school students go smokeless for sweethearts ByROBERTSCOTT Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer We should be very proud of our Rappahannock County students. This year’s SASH Day was a smashing success. The Save-A-Sweet-Heart (SASH) program has been sponsored by the American Heart Association (AHA) to combat the effects of “popular” cigarette advertising and the un-popular peer pressure that has made smoking among young people appear to be “coolish” instead of foolish. Why should we be proud of our local students? RCHS and RCES have just completed their best SASH Day yet. Feb. 14 has been traditionally famous for generations for the friendly exchange of Valentines. The SASH Day program is also making that date take on a very practical purpose to demonstrate friendship by improving or preserving the good heart health of our true friends. Of the 517 students enrolled in RCHS and the sixth and seventh grades of RCES, as of Feb. 14 there were 898 of them, or over 76 percent, who pledged that they would not smoke on Save-A-Sweet-HeartDay. Of the 398 who pledged not to light up on SASH Day only a small minority, about 8Vz percent are smokers. The remaining 91l/2 percent who do not smoke pledged that they would not start smoking for at least a year. We hope they will renew their pledge on SASH Day ’92. The SASH program at RCHS was sponsored by the National Honor Society. The faculty advisor was Mrs. Frieda A. Herman. The SASH team leaders were Janet Herman and Amy Kellert and the team members included Zack Allen, Jan Dodson, Jennifer Dodson, Susan Estes, Michelle Grohs, Diana Hud Camilla Jones makes dean's list For the first semester of the 1990-91 academic year at RandolphMacon Academy, Cadet Camilla Jones has been named to the dean’s list.

The RCES SASH campaign was guided by Jon Heddleston of the RCHS faculty, who is also a member of the local AHA Board. Arthur Neufeld served as co-advisor and SASH team leader. They were especially pleased by the degree of participation. Eighty-nine percent of the RCES students pledged and of the seventh-grade students, 66 of 68, pledged, a record of 97 percent. AHA ads tell young men and women that “cigarette smoking may seem to be cool but there’s nothing cool about heart and lung diseases.” The SASH program is entirely student run so they take pride in their success. Positive peer pressure is becoming more popular. Students can help each other to stop smoking, or even better, never to start, rather than pressuring each other to become addicted to smoking cigarettes at an early age.

Mill ^ Continued from page A-1 it is basically sound.” But, he added, with the deterioration produced by its exposure to the weather, “it needs some rescue work done right now.” RCHS tech students win competition Rappahannock High student Joe Dunagan was elected Northern Region president of Technology Students of America (TSA) at the club’s regional competition at Annandale High School March 9. He also won first place in the architectural division and was third in extemporaneous speaking. Mr. Dunagan was one of several RCHS chapter members who garnered awards. Jeremy Tole took third place for engineering graphic analysis and second for technical report writing, Randy Earley won second in extemporaneous speaking, Tucker Rogers was third in technical report writing and Douglas Kirkpatrick was first in technical report writing and second in extemporaneous speaking. David Barney came in third in safety illustration. The state competition will be held in Richmond in April. Mr. Lawrence said his group would restore the mill in stages, concentrating first on the major repairs to the roof, siding and windows needed to stabilize it and prevent further decay. Then the bottom t\Vo floors would be restored, providing living quarters for a caretaker. “As we could, we would restore the other floors, [and] in time replace the old waterwheel.” The money for the restoration, he said, would come initially from a low-interest loan, and the group would also solicit private donations and volunteer help for the work. Mr. Lawrence gained his experience in rescuing old buildings in The Plains, when a demolition crew descended on the old railroad depot and began ripping off its roof. A past-the-eleventh-hour effort by a hastily organized group raised money to buy off the demolition crew, and eventually the Save the Railroad Station Inc. organized. Through donations and the work of volunteers, the group restored the old station,, which was built in 1917 by Fairfax Harrison, the president of Southern Railroad. It now has a new life as an office building. “We want to help other old buildings survive,” Mr. Lawrence said of his family’s interest in the old mill. “It has a similar historic providence.” His son Robert, a lawyer in Warrenton, is the vice-president of Save the Railroad Station Inc. Mr. Lawrence said he feels the owners refused the high bid because the four-acre property includes a “very fine” commercial property right on U.S. 211 at the Business 211 intersection. “We don’t want that,” Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Lou Hatter THE OLD MILL on the Rush River is exposed to the elements. Preservationists want to protect it. he said. “We just want the old mill and a couple of acres.” Mr. Kramer is out of town on business and his office referred a reporter to his partner for comment. Repeated telephone calls to Mr. Fisher’s Washington, D.C. law office were not returned. Mr. Lawrence said Mr. Kramer told him that the high bid was not enough, but that he would try to work out an arrangement so that the commercial part of the property could be sold separately. “If they can’t sell it to us,” he said, “we hope that Mr. Kramer and his associate will fix the roof and paint it to make it restorable.” But, Mr. Lawrence added, he is still optimistic that his group can negotiate an agreement. “We are confident that we can do it sooner or later. It is a charming old relic of the past, and it must be saved.” TRUCK TRADING 1 HVlIfl LARGEST MAZDA TRUCK DEALER THIS SIDE OF TEXAS 1991 NAVAIO 5-SPEED EPA EsL Mi. 16 City/20 Hwy.

Jamieson, chairman of the Friends of the Rappahannock County Library. iTie D.C.-based Public Welfare Foundation, one of the original benefactors of the Rappahannock County Library, made the payment of $20,000 for the new library building, which is now nearing completion on U.S. 211. .522 just east of Washington. The Public Welfare Foundation was established in 1947 by the late Charles Edward Marsh, who spent his professional life in the newspaper business and lived in Culpeper County for many years. Mr. Jamieson said the grant has made it possible for the Friends to qualify for another $20,000 grant from another foundation on a matching funds basis. Indications are that approximately $25,000 in additional contributions will be needed to completely cover all costs of the building and the furnishings. Tax-exempt contributions may be sent to the Friends of the Library, Box 55 and 210, Washington 22747. Last month the Friends organization accepted a bid of $45,200 from Pauline Bruce for a house on threetenths of an acre in Washington, across from thecurrent library. The property was donated to the Friends by the late Mrs. E. M. “Bird” Jones. The proceeds from the sale of that property will also support the new library construction and to buy furnishings. The 5,200-square-foot building is scheduled to be ready to occupy in June, said Mr. Jamieson. > The total cost of the new building, including moving expenses, is about $600,000.. Continued from page A-1 The state cut its contribution during the year. The cut was first taken from the fund to buy books, but when librarian Diane Green re-, signed, the cut was taken from salaries and more money was available to buy books. Dr. Young said the new library was expected to cost $590,000, including architects’ fees, but not including a circulation desk, tables and chairs or seating for the multi-purpose room. He said that of that amount, $575,000 had been raised or was in firm pledges. “We’re very close to the total amount, and there are more promises and semi-promises,” Dr. Young said. “Financially we’re OK.” The board voted to give member Grace Sims leeway in deciding how much of the shelving to order now. A total of $47,489 has been included for shelving in the $590,000. - V “The only reason for going ahead with it now is to make sure it all matches,” Dr. Young said. Board member Mary Jamieson noted that the whole shelving order would cover a 50 percent expansion of the collection. “It will take years to get all those books,” she added. The board also voted to advertise for a new librarian and to let MrsSims decide what papers to buy ads in and how much to spend. ; School Continued from page A-1 Mrs. Massie asked the board members if they wanted to have more discussion on the budget later in the meeting or have a separate meeting. “I’m satisfied with the way the budget was presented already,” Wakefield District representative Paul Nichols said. “It is lean. That is to be expected.” Mrs. Massie said that Hampton District representative Bryant Lee, who was not able to attend the meeting, had let her know he supported the budget as presented. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole said, “I think we should pass it. It’s a miraculous budget, but I fear we will not get through the year with it. It’s the best we can do.” Piedmont District representative Dorothy Butler made the motion to approve the budget. The motion passed unanimously. The budget is $19,312 lower than the current budget and calls for an increase of $52,669 in local funds. It calls for an increase of about three percent in salaries for most employees including board members. The salary increases for top administrators are less than three percent. Following an executive session, the board accepted “with regrets” the resignations of elementary school principal Bernie Chesshir and high school physical and earth science teacher Tom Von Fange effective June 30. Mr. Chesshir has been principal at the elementary school for three years after serving one year as assistant principal at the high school. This is Mr. Von Fange’s second year at the high school. Several years ago he taught shop classes there. The board voted to add an extra day on the Tuesday after Easter to the spring vacation if no more days are missed because of weather bei- i the spring break. Earlier the board heard Social Services Director Beverly Bowen explain how her department provides services for abused and neglected children. Mrs. Bowen said that most of the referrals her department receives come from the school and concern school-aged children. “It frightens me, to think that for the first five years the children are not out in the community,” she said. She said the more incidents of abuse and neglect are being reported. “Whenever we get a report we are required to investigate,” she said. Many cases are determined to be “unfounded” because a “high level * of proof’ is required to remove a child from the home, she said. “There is so much emphasis on the disposition of the case, you sometimes lose track of the child,” she added. <•; “You have a high rate of foster care here,” Mrs. Bowen said. She said one reason is that money is available for foster care but not for early intervention to prevent a case from becomming so severe that the children have to be removed from their homes. “It’s not something I’m happy with, ” she added. Mrs. Bowen said that foster care is not intended to be a long term so-, lution. The Social Services Department tries to get the family back together within one or two years. If that doesn’t work then they go to court to get the right to place the children for adoption, she explained. The board also heard a report from Elizabeth Smith on her “Reading Recovery” program. Ms. Smith teaches remedial reading to kindergarten and first grade children in small groups. She has also started a reading recovery program for some first graders. In that program she works one on one with a child 30 minutes a day for 16 to 20 weeks. Dr. Gangel said that the main advantage of reading recovery is that 80 percent of the children who have this experience never need any more remedial help.

Gospel music slated for Washington Baptist i \ The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) is presenting a gospel concert at the Washington Baptist Church at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 24. The concert will feature The Blathers, a Southern Gospel trio based in Front Royal that is nationally recognized as one of the finest Southern Gospel groups around today and The Voices of Inspiration, a gospel choir from the Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill. The Brothers consists of two brothers, Danny and Roger Figgins, and Benny Roach, lead singer. Backing them up is Randy Simpson on drums and Larry Daniel on guitar. The Brothers formed in 1980, although they have been singing together for almost 14 years. In 1982, they perfojTTjed at the White House for President Reagan and in 1983 they won the gospel contest at the Jamboree USA in Wheeling, W.Va. and were named the official gospel group for the Jamboree. They have opened for many of the big names in country music including Loretta Lynn, The Statler Brothers, Ronnie Milsap and Lee Greenwood. The Voices of Inspiration gospel choir has been based at the Macedonia Baptist Church for many years. The nine-member choir consists of all brothers and sisters, so it is truly a family group. Tickets for this special event are $5.50 for adults and $3 for children under age 12. For ticket outlets and information, call RAAC at 675-3193 or the Arts Hotline at 675-3073. Future plans finalized by RAAC committee Arts association sees change By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Reviews are part of life. From early in life we are handed reviews about our status. We get report cards in grade school, grades in college, reviews of job performances, political outcomes and financial updates. The review often examines past courses and new destinations. Such a review has recently been completed by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). “Our Futures Committee was set up to review what our mandate was and is,” newly elected RAAC president Charlie Tompkins said, a member of the Futures Committee, which was recently-dissolved. The Future Committee had been chaired by Sidney Gottlieb. Joining Mr. Gottlieb and Mr. Tompkins in the latest/ review committee were other RAAC board members Mike Mahoney, Diana Bird, Pat Fillebrown, Marty White, Joyce Abell and non-board member Sally Nash. “Joyce Abell approached me about heading the committee and I was interested,” Mr. Gottlieb said. He said “RAAC needs to change,” adding that when RAAC was founded eight years ago, Rappahannock County was a “cultural wasteland. There was no organized group to support the arts and cultural entertainment in the county. RAAC filled a badly needed hole in the community.” As Rappahannock has grown and changed from a rural community to a growing “bedroom community for Northern Virginia as well as a prospering retirement community, a change was needed,” the past president of two consecutive terms, 1982-84, Mr. Gottlieb, said. He added that “no longer is the community a wasteland of cultural events,” but now offers several different options for artists and their audience. “Some people now feel that RAAC is competing for the same audience with these other groups, as well as for the same money,” Mr. Gottlieb said. “There must be a half-dozen to a dozen new art-supporting p-oups in the county,” Mr. Gottlieb said, citing the cooperative network at Middle Street Gallery, Ki Theatre and Windmore Foundation in Culpeper County. After six months of weekly meetings, a 10-page review was made available in August. “We worked hard — very hard — for six months,” Mr. Gotlieb said, adding still the work continues as changes are made and updates on the report are filed. “We invited people to our meetings, we advertised in the newspaper, we were careful not to exclude anyone who wanted to speak. It was very <Some people now feel that RAAC is competing for the same audience with these other groups, as well as for the same money.' — Sid Gottlieb RAAC member heady stuff with a tremendous diversity of opinions,” he said. Many in the community assisted in compiling the report. Civic group leaders and members, artists, media representatives, school officials, county residents, attorneys and firefighters spoke while the RAAC Futures Committee listened. “Just as Rappahannock County is going through a transition, RAAC is going through a transition,” Mr. Gottlieb said, and the review was an “attempt to study that transition and how it affects artists and their groups.” “It was very directional,” Mr. Gottlieb said of the report, adding already many of the points approached by the committee have already been acted upon by RAAC. The report covered various topics: everything from the scope and quantity of RAAC activity, to film ideas and dates, to more artistic support of local artists, to artistic productions in schools, to community relationships, volunteerism, finances and the board of trustees. “We are still looking at the review,” the new president Mr. Tompkins said, adding items are “still perculating” as committees deal with addressed issues and resolve others. s' As the review neared its completion, the situation with RAAC and the theater on Gay Street changed. These changes greatly affected the review as well as RAAC’s affiliation with art in* the community. “Now, we are responding to the report,” Mr. Tompkins said, adding that as the Futures Committee dissolves and new RAAC committees are started, “RAAC is taking action.” Moses continues Woodsmoke Cafe Friday night music Moses Gentry, guitarist and blues singer from Etlan in Madison County, will perform at the Woodsmoke Cafe Friday at 8:30 p.m. on Main Street in Sperryville. Mr. Gentry plays a mix of blues, bluegrass and country music. Saying he “really knows how to sing the blues,” Mr. Gentry recites a life history to prove it. Bom to a musical family in Lenore, N.C., Mr. Gentry has a background in symphonic drumming, piano and guitar. He grew up cropping tobacco on North Carolina farms from the age of 14, and since has “done just about everything there is to earn a living.” He said he has played at Smithsonian festivals, Wolf Trap, the Newport Folk Festival in the .’70s and for President Carter at the Ellipse. “I taught guitar briefly at Arlington Music — where John Duffy and Charlie Waller of Country Gentlemen fame also worked and taught me,” he said. Locally, Mr. Gentry has played with John Jackson, Ronnie Poe, Skip Ashby, Jimmy Gaudreau and the Rice Brothers. Other musical highlights of Mr. Gentry’s life he recounted: playing with David Bromberg and Woody Mann in New York City and a week playing with Jesse Winchester in Quebec in 1982. He also lists as a musical influence the years he spent with the Lenoir College Avenue Baptist Church choir. With his cousins, Mr. Gentry played Northern Virginia and D.C. “dives” in the ’60s, places like the Rocket Room, Benny’s, Rands and the Speakeasy. The regular dinner menu is available after 8:30 p.m., when the music starts. There is a $2 cover. Call 987-9427 for more information. Friday night music at the Woodsmoke Cafe continues in March with folk singers Bob Treanor (March 22) and Bob MacDougal (March 29). Tanya Richey's long journey from businesswoman to artist Gallery director came to art later in life By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Tanya Richey says she is a product of the “great American adult education system.” Her Windflower Fine Art Gallery in the Clopton House on Main Street in Washington is proof she did her homework. Oils, watercolors, familiar Rappahannock scenes and scenes from the Old World line the plain Clopton House walls now as her gallery takes shape and develops over the first ‘ year of its existeance. It’s not the soft pastels of watercolors or the sharp distinction of oil that catches the attention. It’s the feeling that you’ve seen it once before — like the cottages at Massie’s Comer or the sunset over Venice. She says she paints in “response to the envimoment — urban scenes while in Germany, light and color and landscape in Virginia.” Whether it’s autumn landscape or a grey-lined city, it catches your attention. “I started 14te,” Mrs. Richey said -of her art career. Sitting at a glasstopped desk scattered with markers and paints and photographs, Mrs. Richey looks at home in the gallery. Pieces of artwork — some matted, some framed — are placed on the walls, mantel pieces or rest against chairs, giving the room color and personality. “I studied business and worked for the State Department. When my daughter, now 16, entered kinder ‘If I didn't have to be a mother and wife, I could be a perpetual student. I love it.' — Tanya Richey Amissviile artist garten, I started taking art classes,” she explained. One workshop lead to another and then another before Mrs. Richey said she “got serious” and entered a program with the University of Maryland. Before long, Mrs. Richey was a post-graduate in Paris studying impressionist and post-impressionist. “I knew then, painting is what I wanted to do.” A member of Middle Street Gallery and vice-president of the cooperative in 1989, Mrs. Richey said she seemed to “gravitate toward other artists” and picked Washington for her first gallery due to the local art interest and the community support. “It’s a little larger than I had intended,” she said of the gallery, “but, I’m working it out.” Not only has the gallery taken on more space in the first year, Mrs. Richey has begun an art class, of fered Thursday nights in the Washington gallery. ' The gallery rooms display a vari-: ety — some items by other artist offered at commisssion and many of Mrs. Richey’s own pieces, though many of her first items are gorte without copied prints. “The first few I sold were not documented,” she said with a bit of saddness, adding she would love to see one, now, — to reflect upon, to compare the talent of yesteryear with that of today. Mrs. Richey’s talent has garnered her several awards — in Culpeper, Fredericksburg, Leesburg and Front Royal. “I started taking it all seriously when my husband’s boss bought sev-' eral of my pieces for his office,” Mrs. Richey said with a smile. “It was a great boost,” she said with pride, adding that until that purchase the only sales she had made were to friends and at local shows. “I’d get just enough to buy more supplies or do more shows,” she said, laughing, saying that supporting the artistic habit is expensive: supply costs, gallery and exhibit fees are increasing and the demand for mats and large frames is growing. “It’s almost is if you must have a mat and frame to sell a piece,” she said. With many of Mrs. Richey’s works, the frame or mat perfects the piece. See, GALLERY, p. B-8

Cancer Society focus is dietary change By EDITH TENNETT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Now that those dietary indiscretions attached to Valentine’s Day are, shall we say, under our belts, the American Cancer Society wants us to lighten up and focus on April 18 and the Great American Food Fight Against Cancer. Carol Miller, President of the newly formed Rappahannock County Chapter hopes that the entire community will join in learning rftore about the linkage between nutrition and cancer. Diets rich in vitamins A and C, low in fat and high in fiber, as well as cabbage-family (cruciferous) vegetables are believed to lower the risk of certain kinds of cancer. “The American Cancer Society has plenty of information on how to make wise choices when cooking, shopping, and eating out,” says Mrs. Miller. The American Cancer So ciety toll-free number is (800) ACS2345. Meantime, watch this newspaper for notices of events planned for the Great American Food Fight, as well as more specific dietary information. Mrs. Tennent is publicity chairman for the Rappahannock County Chapter of the American Cancer Society.

March is here, bringing with it the blustery winds which blow away winter and herald the arrival of spring; winds sweeping over the earth like a magic wand, leaving tiny buds where there were barren branches and green grass in the place of lingering winter snow.

Hospice begins volunteer training Seventy-four volunteers donated more than 1,810 hours and logged 16,862 miles to serve a record-breaking 71 hospice patients in Madison, Orange, Culpeper, and Rappahannock last year, according to Hospice’s director, Tina Weaver. Hospice of the Rapidan’s special volunteers join a nationwide network of 64,300 hospice caregivers in 1,659 hospice programs. Eighteen home care volunteers are needed each week to provide emotional support, bereavement care, transportation, financial counseling, and respite care to hospice patients and their families. Ms. Weaver said, “Hospice^ a United Way agency, is lacking an adequate number of home care volunteers. Hospice families in all counties must often wait for available volunteers. Office volunteers are needed to answer the phone, help with mailings, file, or make copies. Hospice always needs volunteers willing to assist with fund raising events.” With an increasing number of patients enrolled in hospice care for longer periods of time and decreased hospital days, volunteers are vital. Volunteers can make the difference between a patient remaining' at home or not. Rosemary Sheatsley, Hospice’s education coordinator, will conduct volunteer training classes the evenings of Feb. 21 and 25 and all day Saturday, Feb. 23 at the hospice office in Culpeper. All sessions must be attended. Mrs. Sheatsley’s training receives excellent evaluations as being interesting and informative. Volunteers receive continuing education. Volunteers donatlhg more than 1,000 miles or 100 hours during a year have their names inscribed on a plaque. To receive a volunteer application and training schedule, call the Hospice office (703) 825-4840.

Conservation program on cost/benefit basis The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service announced that Conservation Reserve Program bids will be accepted only for contracts beginning in 1991 and bid acceptance determinations will be made after a nationwide review and evaluation. Selection will be based on the environmental benefits received from placing the land in the CRP when compared to dollars of cost. Eligible cropland for enrollment in the CRP includes cropland that is planted or considered planted to produce an agricultural commodity, including alfalfa and other multi-year grasses and legumes grown in rotation as determined, by the secretary in two of the five crop years 1986 through 1990. Producers will be permitted to enter the same acreage simultaneously into the annual commodity programs and the CRP, &nd to with draw from the commodity programs, without penalty if their CRP bid is accepted. The U.S. Dept, of Agriculture needs 30 days to evaluate and accept a bid but acceptance is not binding on either the producer or USD A until the contract is signed. Fifty percent cost-share assistance will continue to be available to establish needed permanent vegetative cover, including trees, on the accepted acres. Annual rental payments for 10 years also will be paid to CRP participants, based upon their bid, except in some limited cases, such as hardwood tree planting, where a longer period may apply- plyCRP signup will be held March 4 through March 15. Producers are urged to contact the Rappahannock County ASCS office in Washington (703-675-3616) if they' have any questions concerning CRP eligibility. Annual reports show earnings People who work while they are getting Social Security benefits need to report their earnings by April 15, if their earnings are above certain limits, according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. For 1990 earnings, the reports are required from beneficiaries (other than those receiving disability benefits) who were age 65-69 and earned more than $9,360, or under 65 and earned more than $6,840, and received some benefits in 1990. Earnings over those amounts count in determining the amount of Social Security benefits due. People who were 70 or older during all of 1990 do not have to file an earnings report no matter how much they earned, Mr. Hundley said. The annual report forms were mailed automatically to anyone who indicated they will be working and earning over the exempt amounts while they were getting benefits. Anyone who needs to file a report but didn’t get one in the mail should call Social Security to ask for an Annual Report of Earnings form, Mr. Hundley said. In their earnings report, Social Security beneficiaries show the exact amount of the past year’s earnings and provide an estimate of their Gallery Continued from page B-1 ‘ ' IT The usual square or retangle mat takes a new dimension under Mrs. Richey’s careful knife. The mat outlines, defines the piece underneath — never overpowering the work it frames. "I want you to see my work, first. Not the mat,” she said with a touch of determination. Mrs. Richey’s career breakthrough came in the 1980s, when her husband’s job transfered him to Germany. Taking up education again, Mrs. Richey entered a program offered through the University of Maryland in Germany and studied art history. “If I did not have to be a mother and wife, I could be a perpetural student," Mrs. Richey said of her days in the classroom. “I love it.” With Germany as a base, Mrs. Richey was able to travel to galleries all over Europe and Asia, studying and reviewing art at its best. In Heidelburg, Germany, Mrs. Richey participated in her “first big gallery show complete with champange reception and the German press." “I was very nervous but a success,” she said w ith pride. Today, Mrs. Richey returns often to show work in Germany, through she and her family have returned to the states. “I wanted a studio,” Mrs. Richey said, upon her return to the states and found the ideal place in a small cabin across from her Amissville home. “My work there is more of a job now,” she said, explaining that as a mother and wife with a house to run, her art often was put off until “another time. This Way, I go there to work . . . like a job.” Many a night Mrs. Richey returns home long after the sun has set and darkness has fallen. “You always hear of how you must have the right light and all,” she said of art stereotypes, shaking her head and adding often she will work on a piece long after the sun has set and the lighting has changed several times. “I work until I can work no longer,” she said with a smile and soft look coming to her eyes. She said her nighttime excursions home have given her an entirely new dimension to paint — light in the darkness.

For 1991, earnings over $9,720 for people 65-69, and earnings over $7,080 for people under 65, count in figuring the amount of Social Security benefits that can be paid.
