Huntly school granted a $100,000 secret gift Wakefield Country Day School, the Huntly institution that begins classes this week, announced it has received a gift of $100,000 from an anonymous dbnor who called the school last Wednesday. The donor, known to most at the school as “Roger,” had been contacted by a parent at the school and told headmaster Pamela Lynn he felt “guided” to give the school the money. The only condition of the donation is that a voluntary religion course be made available to all students who wish to take it during the 1992-93 academic term. “Roger” told Mrs. Lynn that the recent controversy swirling around Wakefield compelled him to act, said Mrs. Lynn. After a di rect gift of $20,000, he said the remainder of the grant would be in the form of stock that has appreciated greatly in the past few years, she said. According to a statement released by the school, “ ‘Roger’ said he felt his good fortune should be passed on to others who were trying to help the community and had a need. In asking, ‘will that be enough?’ he indicated a further gift if it were needed.” William E. Beeton Jr*., chairman of the Wakefield Country Day board, had announced just two weeks ago that the school’s organizers wanted to establish a $100,000 See GIFT, p. A-7 Dems noritinaw Wood for House during convention Meeting held in Sperry ville \ uiiUiiiOimmou'm By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Democrats gathered at Rappahannock High to nominate Jerry Wood of Warrenton for the 31st District House of Delegates seat, the theme of the convention was that rural areas need to elect Democrats if they want to have influence in Richmond. Sen. Thomas Michie, D-Charlottesville, who represents Stonewall-Hawthom District in the Virginia Senate, gave the keynote speech. He said that rural areas have lost influence in the General Assembly to Northern Virginia and Tidewater, and they will have even less influence with the new redistricting. “For many years the Democratic Party has controlled the destiny of Virginia and has guided it well,” Sen. Michie said. He said when he first went to the General Assembly, Virginia ranked 31st among the states in per capita income, and now it ranks 12th. “We have prospered,” he said. He acknowledged that the state is currently facing a fiscal crisis that is part of the nationwide recession but said Virginia is ranked fourth among the states in its ability “to handle the crisis.” “We are the party in control, and those of us who represent rural areas have fewer and fewer votes,” he said. He noted that a representative from Louisa County with many years of seniority has “enormous influence” in the General Assembly. “If he’d been a Republican, he’d have no influence,” Sen. Michie said. See CONVENTION, p. A-6 Mass meeting brings out candidates By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock Democrats held their mass meeting at the courthouse in Washington last Wednesday, hosting four of their party’s candidates for state and national office. After hearing from Congressional candidates Kay Slaughter and Dean Reed, Virginia Senate hopeful Margaret Haynes and 31st District House of Delegates candidate Jerry Wood, the county Democrats elected four members to the Culpeper convention that will select a nominee to run against Republican opponent George Allen. Convention delegates from Rappahannock will be James E. Swindler Sr., James E. Swindler Jr., Douglas Baumgardner and Margaret White. Kent Reeve and David Shouse were elected alternates. County party chairman Baumgardner presided over the meeting, reminding those in attendance of the various upcoming conventions and meetings, and exhorting them to support the slate of candidates in November. First to speak was Ms. See DEMOCRATS, p. A-8 Fauquier board passes Marshall Wakefield plan By SEBASTIAN SMITH Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The wave of cooperation and optimism, which swept Wakefield School’s special exception application through the sometimes rocky straits of the Fauquier Planning Commission and the Fauquier Board of Supervisors, crested at a dramatic joint public hearing last Thursday, where the go-ahead was granted for the school’s move into Marshall Manor. About a hundred people, ranging from uniformed Wakefield School children to vociferously supportive Marshall residents were on hand to cheer the unanimous approval to allow the school to occupy one wing of the spacious Marshall Manor assisted retirement home. The board’s vote came minutes after the Fauquier Planning Commission also voted to approve the move. George Thompson, a lifelong resident of Marshall, summed up the enthusiasm of supporters of the new school site, saying that this was a “unique opportunity to get up and speak for motherhood and apple pie.” He was followed by a succession of speakers who lauded the school’s academic prowess and the benefits it would bring to Marshall. School officials also said that they would favor See MARSHALL, p.

Over 700 participated in the day’s events, which began with a health fair and buffet brunch. Successful board candidates included Darlene H. Carpenter of Culpeper County, William E. Lane of Essex County, William Frazier of Hanover County, and Lee S. Estes of Greene County. Mrs. Carpenter had been challenged for her board position, the other candidates ran unopposed. In his president’s report, Cecil E. Viverette addressed REC’s future funding sources in light of the shrinking availability of traditional long-term financing See POWER, p.

Public schools open back up Corridors filled as summer comes to an end By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer It happens every year — the Labor Day weekend arrives and with it comes the first day of school. This year Rappahannock Public Schools had one surprise: enrollment jumped from 945 students last year to 973 on the first day of classes Tuesday. Superintendent David Gangel said the school division plans in a 1.5 percent increse, but the 3 percent jump was attributed to about 15 students entering the public schools after attending Wakefield School last year. Although the 1991-92 school budget figures are based on an attendance of 950 students, Dr. Gangel said he does not anticipate any problems to arise from the influx this year. Just the opposite, he said, as the higher enrollment will result in a greater subsidy from state educational funds. “If history is any indicator, we will continue to grow over the next month and then see a slight decline,” said Dr. Gangel Tuesday. He said that for the past four years the schools have anticipated a 1.5 percent annual growth due to climbing county population and the perception that "Rappahannock is becoming more and more recognized as having a fine educational program.” He said that the administration will be monitoring the student numbers, and “if there are concentrations in particular grade levels we could need additional space and additional teachers,” but he does not See FIRST DAY, p.

The Rappahannock Sheriffs Office obtained a warrant against Thomas Richards, 23, on Tuesday for rape, according to Capt. Ed Streapy. He allegedly forced a 20-year-old Rappahannock County woman to have sex with him, according to police. In other police activity this week: • A woman was injured when she wrecked her motorcycle on U.S. 211, two-tenths of a mile east of Route 643, at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29, according to Trooper W.F. Herrman of the State Police. Marlene Harbor, 24, of Warrenton, was operating a 1986 Honda motorcycle eastbound on U.S. 211 when she lost control and ran off the left shoulder, where the cycle overturned. Ms. Harbor was transported to the hospital for treatment. Damage to the Honda was $500. Trooper S.M. Knick charged her with reckless driving. • A series of fights at a Washington Fire Hall concert Saturday night may lead to a ban on the popular fire hall concerts, according to Washington Volunteer Fire Co. Chief Roger Roach. Mr. Roach said there was a fight early in the evening, and about half those involved left when asked. The other half stayed around and caused several other fights, he said. Mr. Roach said he was “irate” that deputies did not arrest anyone when called to the scene. ‘This hurts our name, people are talking about it. We have to stop putting on what had been a money maker, and people who enjoy the dances can’t come to them any more.” Mr. Roach said there is one more dance planned, and after that the policy will probably be changed to prohibit the dances, at least “for a long, long time.” He said a group of young people who had been loitering at the Post Office “got kicked out of town so they just moseyed on down to the fire hall.” He said the band that night, Venus Jones, had no connection with the troublemakers.

If you are selling your home, you may get an offer from a buyer who wants you to provide all or part of the financing. There is a good chance that the buyer would want this seller financing at a preferential interest rate. After all, there is no special reason to borrow from you if financing is available at the same cost elsewhere. Benefit-wise, there is probably no safer investment than a loan secured by solid residential read estate. However, there are also risks, if the buyer stops making payments on the first mortgage or on the loan to you, you might be involved In a foreclosure situation. Here's something else to consider. Perhaps the buyers financial position is not strong enough to qualify for a first mortage and is forced to rely on seller financing. Since lenders screen their borrowers carefully, this should be a warning signal. As long as mortgage money is available and you don t have to provide financing, a clean sale with no financial conditions is usually your best bet.

However, in the cost for correction and detention Rappahannock was highest at $50, but funds for the jail addition are included. Culpeper spent $31, Fauquier $15, Madison $6, Page $14, and Warren $21. The state average was $22. Rappahannock was also highest in spending for fire and rescue at $16. Culpeper spent $11, Fauquier $15, Madison $6, Page $3, and Warren $13. The state average is $43. The category of Public Works added another $50 per person to Rappahannock’s spending. This was 4.8 percent of the budget and 80.8 percent of the state’s average of $62. The state picks up less than 1 percent of this category, which includes the costs of the landfill and maintenance of county buildings. Again Rappahannock’s spending in this category is higher than surrounding counties. Culpeper spent $19, Fauquier $40, Madison $15, Page $21, and Warren $22. Most of this difference is because Rappahannock spends more for “sanitation and waste removal.” Rappahannock’s cost of $41 for the landfill is higher than Culpeper’s $17, Fauquier’s $21, Madison’s $5, Page’s $14, or Warren’s $16. Rappahannock’s cost for maintenance of buildings and grounds that year was $9 per person, about the same as Culpeper and Madison. Fauquier spent $19 per capita, Page $6 and Warren $4. Health and Welfare cost Rappahannock $138 per capita for fiscal 1990. This was 13.4 percent of the operating budget and 125 percent of the state average of $110. State and federal governments pay for 69.8 percent of this cost. Again Rappahannock’s cost for tuai i out rounding counties. Culpeper spent $94, Fauquier $110, Madison $74, Page $66, and Warren $85. At $9 per person Rappahannock spent more for health than surrounding counties. Rappahannock is second to Fauquier in the cost of spending for mental health and mental retardation at , $63. Fauquier spent $74 for mental health, while Culpeper spent $49, Madison $33, Page $22, and Warren $26. For other welfare and social service, Rappahannock was again highest at $66 per person. Culpeper spent $37, Fauquier $30, Madison $33, Page $37, and Warren $52. As expected the largest portion of the budget, 63.1 percent, was for the operation of schools. Rappahannock spent $646 per person for education, 80.9 percent of the state’s average of $798.50. This was higher than Page’s spending of $622 and Warren’s of $638, but below Culpeper’s $786, Fauquier’s $811, and Madison’s $693.

The state and federal governments paid for 48.1 percent of Rappahannock’s costs for education. Within the category of education some interesting differences between Rappahannock and surrounding counties show up. At $470 for instruction, Rappahannock spent more than Page’s $445, but less than Culpeper’s $563, Fauquier’s $599, Madison’s $495, or Warren’s $490. The state average was $586. Also Rappahannock spent $43 for operation and maintenance about the same as Page, but below $94 for Culpeper, $84 for Fauquier, $63 for Madison, and $59 for Warren. The state average was $88. However, Rappahannock’s costs for administration and bus service were relatively high compared to surrounding counties. Rappahannock spent $39 per person for administration in the schools. Culpeper spent $27, Fauquier $36, Madison $30, Page $34, and Warren $28. The state average was $41. At $57 per person, Rappahannock’s cost for bus service was above the state average of $45 and also above Culpeper’s and Fauquier’s cost of $49, Madison’s $48, Page’s $35, and Warren’s $26. Rappahannock spent $7 for parks, recreation and culture. This is .7 percent of the budget and 18 percent of the state’s average of $38. The state government covered about 25 percent of this budget item. This category covers the cost of the library. Rappahannock spent three cents per person for parks and recreation, compared to $1.23 for Culpeper, $15 for Fauquier, $.63 for Madison, $.89 for Page and $1.52 for Warren. Rappahannock spent $6.76 for the library, compared to $1.87 for Culpeper, $15 for Fauquier, $1.84 for Madison, $2.40 for Page and $4.78 for Warren. Another $12 per person, or 1.1 percent of the budget was spent for community development. This was 38 percent of the state’s average of $31. This category covers the cost of the planning and the local cost for the Cooperative Extension Service. State and federal governments covered about 15 percent of this category. This was not a large item for any of the surrounding counties. Culpeper spent $14 per capita, Fauquier $28, Madison and Page $11, and Warren $16. Girls basketball team pins season's hopes i on itsjnside game % By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer The Rappahannock High girls basketball team hopes to translate a strong turn-out into Bull Run District wins this fall, according to coach Renee Leake. Mrs. Leake actively recruited players during the spring and summer, and as a result both the varsity and jayvee teams contain some very talented players. The varsity’s inside game should be strong, she said, and will rely on 5-10 forward-guard Sherrbn Boddie for rebounding. Center Leah Marlett, another returning player, will co-captain the team with Boddie. Jane Jenson, a 5-10 centerforward, is a new player this year, and is an exchange student from Denmark. Coach Leake said she should bolster the team’s play in the paint. XlAlllllltX OWdUlktn, ClIIULIlCI It*turning player, is a “much improved ball handler” at guard, and 5-7 swing guard Susan Payne should be among the team’s leading scorers, said Coach Leake. Bonnie Jewell, 5-9, a sophomore, is also expected to get playing time at forward. “Our inside game is going to be our strong point,” said Mrs. Leake. Other varsity players expected to contribute for the Lady Panthers this season include rookie Dietrich Beaver, a guard; sophomore Sherri Thomas, a guard and forward; Michele Williams, a forward up from the jayvee squad this year and Susan Jewell, the team’s lone freshman. “This is our fourth year, and we have more girls out than ever before,” said Coach Leake, adding the turn-out of 26 players was heartening. Last year’s district titlist Central High is expected to compete for the championship again this season, said Coach Leake. The Lady Panthers, who went 7-15 last year, have the youngest squad in the district, she said. On the jayvee team this year are: Patty Atkins, Jessica Arnold, Janet Hitt, Laura McNear. Courtney Welch, Leah Blubaugh, 1 Wendy Cordani, Sherry Shaw, Tracy Hitt, Theresa Hudson, Amber Early and Jerri Mallory. This week the Lady Panthers have three home games. Jayvee” action starts at 6 p.m., and var-o sity follows. They play Clarke County Sept. 5, Warren Countyi Sept. 9 and Central Sept. 12. Harriers rely on returners Last year the Rappahannock High cross country team compiled a very respectable 9-4 re-" cord, which was only good enough for fourth place in the highly competitive Bull Run District. This season Coach Tim ■ Corder has been running the home course three times a week (and putting the harriers through ' the hill workout) and taking the runners to Old Hollow for a fivemile jaunt twice a week. He said one of the team's best' runners, eighth-grader Mark' Jenkins, won’t be able to score" points due to a district prohibition against eighth graders. He’s the team’s second seed, and the' coach said he expects “a lot of good things” from Jenkins. Fopm the past six years Jenkins has won his age category in the Fod-” derstack 10-K race. 1 Returning runners include John Dwyer (senior), Jason Fox (a senior, also playing soccer), ’ Chris Payne (junior) and “really strong” runner Jason Waters, a'sophomore. Freshman Shane Lambert ? and eighth grader Mike Wolfe round out the squad. ' The cross country team opens the season at Brentsville Sept/11.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. 1 Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. ; . , The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1991 Editorial Wilder's priorities Last week, Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder expanded his presidential exploration, making a whirlwind tour of New Hampshire. Though the Iowa caucuses lay claim to the earliest selecrion process for potential presidential candidates, New Hampshire boasts the first statewide presidential primary. Thus, it is a popular destination for potential candidates looking to test the political waters. - Gov. Wilder emerged from his New Hampshire immersion proclaiming that “the water feels better all the time.” Though he coyly demurred in the face of questions about his presidential plans, Gov. Wilder looks more and more like a candidate for the Democratic nomination n next year. We’ll all know sometime this month, since he promised a decision soon, possibly by mid-September. Though a run for the presidency has obvious appeal to Gov. Wilder’s political ambitions, ,we think there are several good reasons for him to stay on the sidelines, in the governor’s mansion, in 1992. The state’s current fiscal difficulties demand the governor’s attention. Though Lt. Gov. Dqnald S. Beyer has proven himself a capable second-in-command, and a likely candidate to succeed Gov. Wilder, the perception of a state without a leader as the governor gallivants across the country is unsettling to manv in Virginia. And, frankly, we were astounded by Wilder’s response to a question about the possible conflicts posed by a presidential primary campaign during next winter’s General Assembly session. The governor said the legislature’s business doesn’t really demand his full attention on a day-to-day basis. We’re glad to hear that he has such absolute faith in the capabilities of our state legislators, but we’d still rather he stayed in Richmond during the 60-day General Assembly session. Then there are the recent controversies that have swirled around the governor. Gov. Wilder portrayed himself as the victim in the latest installment of his epic feud with U.S. Sen. Charles Robb, but was publicly embarrassed when the State Police superintendent told investigators that a probe targeted at Sen. Robb was requested by the governor’s office — after Gov. Wilder had repeatedly denied he had anything to do with the aborted investigation. There have been news reports, most recently including the resignation of his press secretary, Laura Dillard, that some members of his staff feel Gov. Wilder is spending too much time on a possible presidential bid and not enough time on the people and problems of Virginia. And, Gov. Wilder has been criticized for his comments that Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, a Catholic, might owe his allegiance to the Pope rather than the law on the question of abortion — as well as his suggestion that assassination might be an acceptable method to deal with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Though some dismiss these as minor mistakes, for others they raise important questions about the breadth of Gov. Wilder’s political expertise. Though he has shown himself capable in the arena of state politics, some more experience might leave him better prepared for national office. Finally, there’s the promise he made back when he was running for governor in 1989. Questions about his ultimate ambition were raised even then, but Gov. Wilder assured those concerned about his dedication to Virginia that, if elected, he would serve his full term. Anyone can argue, and many do, that circumstances change and with them plans and promises, but we think this is a promise Gov. Wilder should keep. He certainly knew what he was getting into. By his meteoric ascent in state politics, Gov. Wilder has become a rising political star on the national scene. Only 60 years old, perhaps he should allow time to temper his rise, lest it end in a flash and disappointing burnout.

Letters to the Editor My battle with alcohol To the Editor: I have read the story of the “painter, grandfather, retiree” by Lisa Currie. Impressed and awed though I am, there is too much left out which must be said. When the interview was set up it was agreed that we would discuss my work with alcohol programs. We did discuss this subject and many notes were taken. When the article went to press all of that was missing except for a brief mention of my being an alcoholism counselor in 1971. I wanted a discussion of alcoholism and the treatment programs to appear in order to possibly help people who are suffering the fear, guilt and shame of this addiction. I received help back in 1971 and I am sufficiently grateful that I want to pay it back. If someone reads that there are people like themselves who have recovered perhaps they will step forward and ask for help. I have written two previous letters to the editor of this newspaper pleading for an attitude change. Under General District Court a separate column for drunk in public and DWI and other drug charges should be maintained. How are these people to get help if we don’t point the finger and make it clear that they have a problem? “It isn’t a secret anymore.” There would be a lot more people alive today if the par ents and friends hadn’t continually bailed them out. Newspapers are the greatest source of help but they shrink from the word “alcoholic.” When Mr. Day (that’s me) was divorced from Rappahannock and Eileen Day in 1969 it probably saved his life, it certainly saved her financial situation, what was left of it. You want a good subject for Blue Ridge Neighbors? There is one courageous, beautiful and resourceful woman who survived. There is an old saying, “I would rather have been an alcoholic than to have lived with one.” Incidentally, I was accepted in a juried show at the Middle Street Gallery, but did not win an award. I should have — but the fix was on! WALTER DAY Flint Hill Program isn't new To the Editor: In response to Mr. Cordani’s proposed Operation Identification. Mr. Cordani, your brainstorm is not a new program, and don’t compliment yourself at throwing stones at Sheriff Woodward. Fingerprinting our county’s children has been a complementary action by the Sheriffs Office for quite a few years. And let it be known, the Sheriff’s Office employees and our sheriff take great pride in being able to deliver such a beneficial service, and for you to attack that is childish and very poor politics. In the future months could you insist your committee research your material? Perhaps call the paper or the schools to see if this has been done before and maybe then you’ll see it is common practice. It’s a shame that such a good act that correctional officer [Curtis] Crawford performed has been sold short. We feel sure he has been very appreciated for the act and should be commended for it, not reprimanded. Sheriff Woodward can take great pride in the campaign he has authorized, he has stuck to the issues at hand, and not taken that hand and thrown mud with it. Sheriff Woodward has made our county proud, safe and comfortable. We just hope it stays that way. ALEX AND VICKIE MILLER Flint Hill Allen needs to clarify To the Editor: Republicans in the Seventh District of Virginia have nominated George Allen to run for the seat in Congress vacated by French Slaughter, and Mr. Allen has announced his campaign theme: his probable opponent is an “ultra-liberal.” The voters and the media should make him say clearly what he means by ultra-liberal, and exactly why he thinks that is bad. Otherwise, it is simply name calling, on the level of a small boy quarreling in a schoolyard. Mr. Allen is a harmless young man who, if he is elected, will fit right in with most of Congress: those who are content to settle down in a well-paid lifetime job with fantastic fringe benefits and the best retirement system they have been able to design for themselves. The price they pay for this is to go along to get along, and under no circumstances to say or do anything which might give some slight discomfort to the special interests whose money keeps them in office. Mr. Allen clearly has no intention of attacking our obscene method of financing campaigns, which threatens to destroy the greatest system ever devised by a free people for their own self-government. He will not attack the enormous national debt which the president and Congress brush over with the annual lie of “budget control,” and which eats up one quarter of all our federal taxes and effectively forestalls any important goverment initiative, however necessary. Mr. Allen ignores the destruction of our cities, the relegation of more and more Americans, especially children, to indecent poverty and inadequate health care, or the widening gap between rich and poor. All this he can avoid by calling his opponent names. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria 20 YEARS AGO September 2, 1971 All residents of Rappahannock County may obtain answers to questions on operation and interpretation of the Presidential order of August 15 on prices, rents, wages and salaries from Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Office, according to H.S. Barksdale, Chariman of the County ASC Committee. County ASCS Offices throughout the United States have been chosen as information centers to answer questions from all citizens on President Nixon’s Executive Order which is designed to stem inflation and strengthen the national economy. A progress report on the case against Potomac Edison Company’s proposed 138 KV power line through Rappahannock County being made by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will be given by John Dwyer, Joint Legal Counsel for the League, at the first annual meeting of its membership which will be held Friday, Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. at the county Courthouse at Washington, Va. Rappahannock Coupty teach The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: ers attended a pre-school conference in Front Royal last Thursday which had as its theme “Learning Is Involvement.” Bob Varner, principal of an elementary school in Warren County and president of the Education Association there, presided at the conference. The theme was explained by John Penney, a Rappahannock elementary instructor and president of that county Education Association. 15 YEARS AGO September 2, 1976 According to high school principal Dennis Wingfield, the opening of the 1976-77 school year in Rappahannock was excellent. “Everything was well planned and organized and much summer ground work had been done by the teaching staff. Student organization and cooperation was gratifying,” he said. “Enrollment at the high school was 455, and probably will pick up a little after the Labor Day holiday. It usually does,” said Wingfield, who added, “We have 20 transfer students; students who have come here from other schools. Enrollment is a little below last year. However, that is the expected trend.” Washington Carnival opened last night and will continue through Saturday night when the awarding of prizes will take place. Highlighting the activities tonight, Thursday, will be the selection of a new honorary fire chief and the naming of Little Miss Washington. Friday night’s feature is a grand parade which will travel along the old section of Route 211 in the town. Entries include fire and rescue equipment, majorette groups and singles, bicycles, antique cars, marching units and many more. There will be two softball games Sunday, September 5 at 3 p.m. at the Rappahannock Elementary School field. Reynolds Royals vs. Trinity Terrors and the Northern Mets vs. the Southern Mets. 10 YEARS AGO September 3, 1981 If the county supervisors give their stamp of approval, the Rappahannock Recreation Authority will be awarded a $63,837 matching grant to transform the recreation center across the highway from the town of Washington into Rappahannock County Park. The Virginia Commission on-Outdoor Recreation has already approved the grant. The only obstacle still remaining before formal approval of the award is given in Richmond on . September 22 is securing a promise from the supervisors that they will “take title to and assume responsibility for the Rappahannock County o Park.” The agreement to take title to the recreation property is essential since the local share of the matching grant is being supplied , through donation of the six acre site to the county, according to rec authority counsel and former chairman Douglas Baumgardner. The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors will hold its monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 8, since the regular meeting date, the first Monday of the month, is a national holiday.

New Congressional award comes to Va. State ’s young volunteers are recognized for, achievements Virginia has joined the Congressional Award program to cite young volunteers with national recognition for their achievements. The Congressional Award, the highest youth service award in the United States, honors youths between the ages of 14 and 24 for their voluntary public service, personal achievements, physical fitness and expedition activities. The new Virginia State Congressional Award Council, consisting of 21 members, was appointed March 19 by U.S. Sens. Charles Robb and John Warner, most of Virginia’s congressmen and Gov. Douglas Wilder to assist young people in applying for the Congressional Award. Founded in 1979 as a national program, the noncompetitive award has since gained enough recognition to go statewide. Virginia, Arizona, Wyoming, Oregon and Utah are the first states to organize statewide programs for the award. The program is also available in more than 70 congressional districts throughout the United States and is open to anyone between the ages of 14 and 24. The award may be earned on the bronze, silver or gold level depending on the age and volunteer work of each candidate and is presented by a senator or congressman. Winners of the award receive an Olympie-style medal in brona^ silver or gold and a certificate wfned by four congressional leaders. Some of the organizations in which young people work to earn the Congressional Award include the Hospital holds health campaign Learn to live healthy by attending a variety of informative activities during the third annual Alive and Kicking Wellness Week slated for Sept. 28 to Oct. 5 in Warrenton. Promoting good health practices and increasing individual awareness of the community’s resources are the goals of this week-long event. The event offers something for everyone, whether it be a competition to determine the “healthiest business” or a scenic walk in Old Town Warrenton for the entire family- ilyThe week opens Sept. 28 with a Health Fair at St. John’s School on Winchester Street in Warrenton and closes Oct. 5 with a 5-K run or walk.

The award councils are nonpartisan, nonprofit corporations that organize the awards. One of their primary goals is to find volunteers in high schools, hospitals, libraries, Red Cross, and parks and recreation organizaions to serve as Congressional Award coordinators. Some of these adult volunteers act as advisors to oversee a candidate’s participation and verify it to the council. In addition, since the Congressional Award is not funded by the federal government, volunteers must raise all of the funds to operate the program in each state or congressional district. To earn the Congressional Award, candidates must demonstrate outstanding effort in each of these three areas: voluntary public service, personal development and physical fitness or expeditions. To be recommended for the bronze award, candidates must complete 200 activity hours; for the silver, 400 hours, and for the gold, 800 hours. Members of the awards council are George Layne of Fairfax Station, Jinx Hazel of Broad Run, Peggy Arundel of The Plains, Mrs. Douglas Lancaster of Luray, Ian Phillips Jr. of Culpeper, Floyd Binns of Culpeper, John Falk of Arlington, Beth Hayes of Richmond, William F.

Heather Wright Student starts art program The chance to meet new people, ^leara new skills, and beef up your art portfolio: That’s what attracted Heather Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wright of Route 646, Viewtown, along with nearly 40 rising high school seniors, to Rising Star, an intensive, five-week precollege program offered by the Savannah (Ga.) College of Art and Design. For Miss Wright, Rising Star was a chance to explore the world of fashion and art. While at Savannah College of Art and Design she enrolled in fine arts, as well as Drawing I, a foundations course required of all freshmen. For both classes she earned 10 hours of college credit. She put in five hours of work, which was the same amount of time they spent in class. In Fine Arts, Miss Wright sur- ' veyed many different media, including painting sculpture, and fibers. “In one project, we painted on fabric, and bleached designs onto black fabric,” she said. “It will be very helpful in later fashion courses.” Outside of class, she and the other Rising Stars took trips to museums and galleries in Atlanta and Jacksonville. Beach parties, career workshops, Make-Your-Own-Video Night, and progressive snack night in Pulaski House, the Rising Stars’ residence hall, were all part of the experience. Miss Wright was impressed enough with the program, and with Savannah College of Art and Design, to skip her senior year and enroll at the coUege for this fall. “If a student feels that he is mature enough and ready to handle it, it’s rare opportunity,” she said.

Kappanannock News, Washington, Va. A _ Thursday, September 5, 1991 A5 Extension Office, AARP host seminar on women's finances Do you need to increase your current level of financial knowledge? Develop confidence in your decisionmaking ability? Gain control of your ■ life through informed money management? If you answered “yes” to these questions, the women’s financial information program can help you. The Rappahannock Extension Homemakers, Rappahannock Extension Service, and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) are offering a seven-session workshop program beginning Sept. 16 at the Rappahannock Extension Office. Especially designed for women, the Women’s Financial Information Program will include sessions on how to get organized - to identify where you are now and where you want to be; howto know where your money is going and why - to build financial security from the ground up; and how to create a budget, not just for necessities, but to allow for savings and a little more. The program will teach the participants how to conduct financial inventories; how to design personal cash flow systems; how to make decisions about credit and loan institutions, insurance programs, investments, real estate and savings; how to plan for retirement; and more. The speakers will be: • Sept. 16 - Beverly Atkins. Commissioner of Revenue, will speak on “Getting Your Finances Organized: Where Are You Now? "Where Do You Want To Be?” • Sept. 23 - Linda Coit, owner, to the Penny Bookkeeping Services, will speak on “How Does Your Cash Flow?” • Sept. 30 — Pat Vest, Fam Bureau Insurance Company will speak on “Insurance.” • uct. i — Jonn Lonry, Rappahannock National Bank, will speak on “Banking and Credit: Tools for Your Cash Flow System." • Oct. 14 - There will be two speakers. Dee Brents will speak on “Deciding What If. . .? - Are You Prepared If An Emergency Should Happen?” and Joy Brockman from Social Security Administration will speak on Social Security. • Oct. 21 - Helen Ryan from Scott and Stringfellow Investment Corp, will speak on “Investing for Retirement.” • Oct. 24 - Sharon Luke, Attorney, will speak on “Legal Affairs - Wills and Estates.” “The Women’s Financial Infor mation Program is co-sponsored in Virginia by the Virginia Extension Homemakers," said Helen Smith, Extension agent in Rappahannock County. “Last year Rappahannock was one of 70 counties in Virginia that conducted the program,” according to Maybelle Gilkey, who is serving as the Extension Homemaker volunteer coordinator and coordinating the course along with Mrs. Smith and the planning committee. “We are very excited to offer this financial course for women,” said Mrs. Smith. “It was successful and beneficial to participants last fall, and we hope it will be equally informative and beneficial to participants this year.” The format for each class will be the guest speaker the first hour fol lowed by small group discussions. These will be led by volunteer facilitators who will review the speaker’s talk and go over assignments in the participant’s workbooks. This has proven to be a valuable part of the course since it allows participants to ask questions, share money-management techniques with each other, and discuss their weekly assignments. The only cost for the seven-week seminar is a $10 registration fee which covers the workbook, publications, and refreshment breaks. The seminars will meet on Mondays at 6:45-9 p.m. on Sept. 16, 23, 30, Oct. 7, 14, 21 and 24 at the Rappahannock Extension Office in Washington. To register, call 675-3619 by Sept. 12.

Seventh District Democratic convention held Saturday By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The hotly contested race for the Democratic nomination for the Seventh District seat in Congress heads to Culpeper Saturday with Kay Slaughter holding a commanding lead in delegates. All three candidates — Ms. Slaughter, Dean Reed and Wilke Green — were sounding confident this week, but only Ms. Slaughter has accumulated more than a few delegates going into the convention. Counting the delegates is an inexact science, to say the least. On Tuesday Ms. Slaughter’s handlers claimed 141 committed delegates, Mr. Green said he had promises from “between 76 and 86" and Mr. Reed’s campaign issued a statement claiming “Reed has assurances from over 120 of the 166 uncommitted delegates on the convention’s first ballot.” That totals more than 307, the number of delegates going to Culpeper. “All the candidates are claiming crazy numbers,” said Mr. Green, who would have to pull off an incredible maneuver to win the nomination. Virginia Daugherty, Ms. Slaughter’s campaign manager, said this week that her candidate hoped to nail down a majority before the end of the w'eek and avoid a divisive floor fight. She accused Mr. Reed and Mr. Green of “making wild statements. Why don’t they get commitments if people are interested?” Campaign finances have emerged as in important issue in the race. Mr. Green said he isn’t raising any money “to avoid the appearance of any impropriety,” but acknowledged that U.S. Senate rules prohibit him from raising any because he is an employee of the Senate Banking Committee. He is on unpaid leave. Were he to be nominated Saturday, he said, he would quit his job so that he could raise money. Mr. Reed hopes to sway undecided delegates into his camp, and said he was “buoyed” by the numbers of uncommitted delegates to come out of the most recent round of county mass meetings. “I am elated, and very enthusiastic about the strong indication that this Saturday’s convention is up for grabs,” according to a statement released by the Reed campaign. The Culpeper convention, he said, “will be a rare opportunity in modem politics — an open convention — where no candidate has the votes to secure victory going into the convention.” Mr. Green agreed: “This will be the most exciting 7th District convention in years, one in which anything can still happen.” Ms. Daughtery charged that GOP candidate George Allen transfered funds from his state campaign chest, money that includes corporate donations. Such donations are not allowed in federal races, and she said the Slaughter campaign was “investigating.” She also said that Ms. Slaughter had raised $30,703 as of the most recent disclosure, and Mr. Allen’s statement indicated he had raised $30,022. If Ms. Slaughter is nominated, she said, her campaign will focus on abortion rights and what she said was Mr. Allen’s lack of initiative. “The issue with George is that he’s running for the 7th District in a conventional way. He has no new ideas and that is going to be his weakness,” said Ms. Daughtery. She also called the Republican nominee “anti-choice” on abortion. “I’d like to see the Democrats united here because it’s such a short race. It will be a sprint to the finish,” she said. The convention begins at 10 a.m. at Culpeper High School. Delegates from Rappahannock County are James E. Swindler Sr., James E. Swindler Jr., Douglas Baumgardner arid Margaret R. White. Both Swindlers support Mr. Reed, the other two delegates have committed to Ms. Slaughter. Convention Continued from page A-1 “I urge you to see the importance of this election, the importance to rural areas of sending Democrats to Richmond,” he concluded. In his opening remarks, Rappahannock Democratic chairman Douglas Baumgardner spoke along similar lines. He said that the Republican candidate Robert Darby “could only think of one negative thing to say about Jerry Wood, that the district was created for Jerry Wood as a reward for all his years of loyal service.” He said if he were asked as a defense attorney to defend Mr. Wood on the charge of “conspiring to have the district drawn up, I would imme diately plead him guilty. ” Mr. Baumgardner noted that Andy Guest, who has represented Rappahannock County, is “one of the most influential Republicans in the house, and even he couldn’t get a seat drawn in his favor, If Jerry Wood, someone who has never held office, has enough influence to get a district drawn for him, then he is a man of great influence, and we’d better hurry to send him to Richmond.” Bill Barr, chairman of the Fauquier Democratic Party nominated Mr. Wood saying, “He exemplifies the best Virginia values, fiscally conservative, watchful over the environment, and concerned for good education for all citizens.” Warren County Democratic Chairman Edgar Baldwin seconded the nomination. Mr. Baumgardner also seconded fhe nomination saying Mr. Wood '‘wants to listen to ehe people he’s seeking to represent.” In accepting the nomination Mr. Wood said he has the “ability and accessability” to represent the people of the district. He said he did not believe the district was created for him but “for the people of Fauquier County, Rappahannock County, and Warren County.” “Alb of you know that as a businessman, I’m a voice of moderation in government,” he continued. “I’m a fiscal conservative. I believe in the death penalty. I believe in home rule for land use decisions. I’m pro choice. I favor the transfer of development rights . . . Mostly though, I believe in education, because children are our most important resource, and I \yill do everything in my power, short of increasing taxes, to bring more money to our education system.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Teacher Ron Vickers, right, confers academic letters upon, from left: Tracy Hitt, Bonnie Jewell, J.C.

'Academic letter' program begun at county high school By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer High school athletes have always been recognized for their accomplishments — they get letters, have annual banquets and all-star teams. For kids who excel in the classroom, however, the official rewards are few — making the honor roll and acceptance at a top-notch college. Thanks to a few teachers, this year that has been changed with the inauguration of a new program, Rappahannock Scholars. Thirty-three high school students were honored in an openingday assembly Tuesday, and their status as Rappahannock Scholars will pay off — literally.

First Day Continued from page A-1 think that will happen this year. The superintendent said the first day of classes went “real well,” with no major glitches in the revamped transporation network. At Rappahannock High there were few major changes, although principal John Toth has a new assistant, Larry Carter, who comes to Rappahannock from Madison County. At Rappahannock Elementary, first-year principal David Smith noted the opening of school went “very smoothly. I was pleased.” He said there have been a few personnel changes, and the wholelanguage learning program that was instituted in kindergarten and first grade last year has been expanded into second and third grades. Art is now being taught by three different teachers and Amy Wolf is supervising the gifted and talented program. Dr. Gangel sounded upbeat about the coming year. “We’re continually trying to improve and find ways to do a better job.” He said the results of a parent survey distributed on Fee Day are being tabulated, and the school system will use that information to provide what students want and need.

Marshall businesses welcome customers from Wakefield By SEBASTIAN SMITH Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer When Wakefield School moves into Marshall Manor in September, the quiet town will receive a dash of energy, the sound of small footsteps, » the tinkle of childrens’ laughter. But ^the town is also likely to receive 'Some welcome extra business, local ’‘merchants say. * t “We really want it ... It will be 3bice to have all those kids coming Stiver and buying sodas,” said Pat ’Colgan, manager of the Steeplechase Amoco which sells gasoline, * Shacks and used cars just across the Street from the driveway to Marshall Manor. And with traffic levels generated by the school estimated to be, 322 trips a day in addition to the current 80 trips a day that the Marshall Manor retirement home generates, Colgan has good reason to look forward to the start of school. He said that school officials approached him recently to work out a possible contract on provision of diesel fuel for the school buses that will serve the new Wakefield. The school estimates that seven buses will make 10 trips a day, good news for Amoco. Another local business likely to see the cash tills ringing merrily is Greenhouse Books, a large bookstore minutes from the site of the proposed school that carries books for everyone from the toddler to the literature major. Greenhouse Books can order books and even prints some books that can’t be found anywhere else, like “The Bird’s Christmas Carol,” “Bob, the Son of Battle” and other children’s classics. “One of the teachers already came in to pick up some books for her [own] children,” said Jelks Cabaniss, whose wife owns the shop. Ragamuffin consignment shop manager Shirley Kenney said that an influx of young people might help her shop. Its inventory includes skis, china ornaments and a trumpet. At The Bam restaurant, partowner Kathy Fourqurean is looking forward to several hundred potential hungry stomachs. She said that her partner’s daughter attends Wakefield and had supplied them with a heartening piece of information: Wakefield teachers are “really excited” because “they won’t have to brown bag it anymore.” But not everyone in Marshall thinks the school will jumpstart business. Jerry Yowell, who runs Jerry’s Barber Shop, said he doubts the newcomers will come to him, since most already have their barbers closer to home. “You may get a few of them,” he said hopefully. Wayne Spellman, who manages the pharmacy at IGA Foodliner and Pharmacy ,-said the school isn’t likely to boost many local businesses because “like most typical schools, it’s a closed environment.” Mr. Spellman said he’s been looking for w ays to increase business for a long time, and so far, nothing he has tried has made a difference. “You can’t do it. Things move at their own pace,” he said. Either way, the advent of Wakefield School seems sure to have some impact on the community, even if it is merely the school’s physical presence at Marshall Manor assisted retirement home. The school will fill one-quarter of the existing building, have 113 parking spaces, provide almost an acre of fenced-in recreational area and bring four trailers onto the grounds, according to the school’s plans. Marshall Continued from page A-1 making Marshall a permanent home for the school, but that first they “Weeded Marshall Manor as a temporary site. “Somehow, I get the impression *that we may move tonight," said commissioner Michael Molloy of Lee District in a deadpan voice, prompting applause and a burst of laughter through the room. i. The application was considered ,';an emergency by the county because !<)f the imminent school year and the possibility of Wakefield students being stranded, following the unex..pected eviction of the school from , their Rappahannock site. :v A maximum of 240 students will attend the school alongside a maxiimum of 60 elderly residents, of jWhom there are currently 12. Wakefield School has negotiated a 15-month lease with Marshall Manor, officials said. Marshall : Manor will review the lease June, ,4,992, officials said, which would leave the school six months to find a t new site, if the retirement home did not plan to renew’ the lease. Workshop set in life change • “Crossing Boundaries," a 'W’orkshop dealing with change and life by artist and teacher Nol Putii nam, will be 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8, at the New Leaf Bookstore and Organic Harvest in Old Town Warren"ton. ' Games, small groups and discussions will be used. Cost is $5 at the door. The board, commission and applicant complimented each other on the unusual speed of the special exception process and zoning ordinance change which were completed from start to successful finish in just over three weeks. James Green, the supervisors’ chairman, said that he had heard “some criticizm about the speed,” but that the joint public hearing and approval of a special exception and zoning text amendement were not without precedent. ) Mr. Molloy complimented Wakefield School and said that the fast track approval should be “a new standard” for future items. Glen Sedam, attorney for Wakefield School, cheered the board and commission, saying “they didn’t give us any slack . . . they didn’t give us any easy outs. We’ve seen good government at its best.” The only hint of discord in the meeting came when supervisor Wilbur Burton, D-Cedar Run, asked how many pupils at the school, which charges an average of $4,500 a year for tuition, were part of “gifted and talented” programs. “Be careful not to sound too eliKARATE LESSONS for Juniors Can begin anytime at the CHILD CARE & LEARNING CENTER in Washington For further Information contact: Rose Ann Sharp 703-675-3237 tist,” Mr. Sedam said to Dr. Alan Saunders, Wakefield’s headmaster, several times, as he moved to the lectum. “We don’t really break down our students that way,” Dr. Saunders said. The “impression I get that the school is elite . . . that’s not true?” Mr. Burton asked. That’s “a misconception on. a lot of parts . . . it’s the environment that creates this performance level we’re so proud of,” Dr. Saunders replied. Site plans for the school were approved, as expected, at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors Tuesday. With the site plan approved, the school must get a zoning permit and apply for a building permit, so that it can install required fencing and rearrange some of the interior of Marshall Manor. Mr. Goldsmith said that “unless there’s something I don’t see happening,” the occupancy permit would follow closely after the approval of the site plan. “It’s very close to a turnkey operation,” he said. .

Power Continued from page A-1 from the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). “Our cooperative, along with others in the state and nation, is working on programs to modify or take use beyond the REA program,” he observed. “Although our area is changing, we are still rural. So the need for the program is still there but the (REA financing) program itself is changing and may not be there in the future.” Referring to cooperative research into alternate sources for long-term financing, Mr. Viverette stated that “our cooperative, no matter what changes are made . . . will be there to meet your needs.” “We are working to assure that this organization is in the proper position to make the proper decisions,” he concluded. Additional proceedings included a review of the organization’s financial year by treasurer Darlene Carpenter. Reporting that “operating revenues increased by 4.3 percent from $86.2 million in 1989 to $89.9 million in 1990,” Mrs. Carpenter observed that the cooperative “maintained a continuing tradition by completing 1990 in a strong financial position.” - After discussion, several proposed by-law amendments, which dealt with voting procedures and indemnification of board members, were rejected by the membership. Keynote speaker for the meeting was John Edwards, president of Old Dominion Electric Cooperative. (Old Dominion is Rappahannock’s power supplier. Joining with Virginia Power, Old Dominion is constructing a generating plant at Clover, Va.) Mr. Edwards reviewed the Clover project’s pre-construction developments, addressing in particular the environmental safeguards and permits that have been secured. The membership then endorsed a resolution supporting Rappahannock’s involvement in the plant’s construction. Events for the day concluded with the awarding of several door prizes. Top winners were David Jay Snead of Beaverdam, who won a Quasar microwave oven; and Robert E. Cameal of Spotsylvania County, who received a Quasar color television.

Mr. Baumgardner introduced her as “what I would call a native daughter,” speaking of the candidate’s family ties to Rappahannock. Ms. Slaughter, a Charlottesvillebased environmental advocacy lawyer, stated she hoped to secure enough delegates to obtain the party’s nomination prior to the convention this Saturday, and by last Wednesday had accumulated 128 of the roughly 151 she will need. “Rappahannock,” she said, “for me as a child was kind of the mythical place.

"Truly I think this is a beautiful place,” she said, “and one that’s important to me to keep it preserved.” The three issues she wants to concentrate her efforts on in Congress are “supporting the work ethic in our district” through legislation to help small businesses, working for abortion rights, and protecting the environment through “growth where appropriate but keeping the quality of life maintained.” Mr. Allen, she said, “hasn’t done much in the General Assembly and won’t do much in Congress if he’s elected.” Next to speak was T. Dean Reed, owner of a public relations firm who has homes in Purcellville and Berryville. Calling himself “a fighting Democrat from Clarke County,” Mr. Reed said he wanted to focus on economic issues. His background in journalism includes a stint as Washington correspondent for Business Week magazine. He said the 7th Congressional District consists of “500,000 people who deserve better representation in Congress than we’ve had,” and responded to attacks from Mr. Allen concerning his move to Berryville just prior to announcing his run for the seat. Citing Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Reed said that state residency is all that is required. “I expect our forefathers put School Band Rentals "SINCE 1937" MUSIC CENTER, INC. 38 West Bose* wen St Winchester, VA 22601 CALL TOLL-FREE 1-800-333-1937 Reserve Your Choice By Phone.

President Bush, he noted, is "a voting resident of a hotel room in Houston, Texas.” Turning to financial issues, he described himself as “very serious about the state of the economy,” and wanting to “keep government out of private concerns.” Where Ms. Slaughter emphasized the environment, Mr. Reed said, “I know how wonderful Rappahannock County is. I’m not concerned with maintaining the beauty of Rappahannock County. I’m concerned with maintaining the economy of Rappahannock County.” After Mr. Reed spoke came Ms. Haynes, who is the constituent representative in Harrisonburg for U.S. Rep. Jim Olin. She derided Republican incumbent Sen. Kevin Miller for ranking 37th out of 40 state senators in an effectiveness poll — “and that was with one sen aior aeaa. “People are giving up on government, and everyone in government service is seen as a politician,” said Ms. Haynes. Mr. Baumgardner next introduced Mr. Wood, the three-term chairman of the Fauquier Democratic Committee and owner of the Fauquier Pharmacy on Main Street in Old Town Warrenton. Mr. Wood said he wants to find a compromise between adequate educational funding and keeping property from being taxed out from under residents of the 31st District. “I'm a person that’s concerned with what’s going on in our communities,” said Mr. Wood. Land-use decisions should be solved locally, he stated, growth should be planned in service districts “with services,” he is against the Western Bypass and pro-choice, and he supports some measure of gun control as w’ell as “the right to bear arms.” Nominating conventions bring clarity to state election season By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer With nominating conventions last week and this week the election picture for this fall is becoming fully developed, at least for seats in the General Assembly. Last Saturday at Rappahannock High Jerry Wood of Warrenton was nominated by the Democrats to represent the 31st House of Delegates district in the General Assembly. Robert Darby of Woodville is expected to get the Republican nomination tonight in Warrenton. The 31st District includes all of Rappahannock, most of Fauquier, and 47 percent of Warren. Mr. Wood, a pharmacist and the owner of the Fauquier Pharmacy, is basing his campaign on his many years of service in the Democratic Party and in professional and civic organizations. He opposes tax increases and favors finding more money for education. Mr. Darby, a retired businessman, also opposes tax increases and blames the Democratic control of the statehouse and General Assembly for the state’s fiscal woes. He blames the state bureaucracy for problems in education. Rappahannock is split between two state senate districts starting with this year’s election. In the 26th Senate district, which includes Wakefield, Hampton, Jackson, and Piedmont districts, incumbent Republican Sen. Kevin Miller of Harrisonburg was nominated Tuesday night in Sumerduck (in Fauquier County). Margaret Haynes, also of Harrisonburg, was nominated by the Democrats last Thursday in Lurav to run against Sen. Miller. Ms. Haynes, an aide to Sixth District Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Olin, said she believes she can win the election against the two-term incumbent. She said Sen. Miller has been an ineffective “do-nothing” representative in Richmond. She said rural areas need to elect Democrats to have effective representation, but she said she wants to work with Republicans and Independents as well as Democrats to be an effective voice for the district. Sen. Miller said elected school boards, parental consent or notification before an abortion could be performed on a minor and no tax increase are his primary issues. He said the Democratic Party Opening Day Rappahannock News Staff Photo Cindy Mahan Brittany Bradley and Joshua Weasenforth arrive for the first day of classes at Rappahannock Elementary. ,yjg§§|fl5jB problem, ^ ^ majority has consistently killed the first two proposals and he favors a tax increase for education. “They simply do not understand that increasing funding without significant reforms is throwing money down a rat hole,” he said. In the 25th Senate District, which includes Stonewall-Hawthom District in Rappahannock, incumbent Democratic Sen. Tom Michier of Charlottesvile, was to be nomj-’ nated Wednesday night in Charlottesville. > Ed Robb, also of Charlottesville,' was nominated by the Republicans to oppose Sen. Michie in Charlottes-; ville Tuesday night. &en. Micme, wnn years experience in the General Assembly, says that the Democrats have been doing a good job of running Virginia and that rural areas need to elect Democrats to have influence. He noted that the state is facing the threat of a lawsuit from counties in Southwest Virginia over disparities in educational funding. “You can’t say you are going to. do something about disparities without a tax increase,” he said. “That’s irresponsible.” Mr. Robb, a retired FBI agent,disagrees, saying the citizens of the district “don’t deserve the sorry per-; formance of our ‘leaders’ in Rich-’ mond. We don’t need the national embarassment our governor and his cohorts in the General Assembly have caused.” He attacked Sen. Michie’s record on education and crime. Mr. Robb said Sen. Michie “helped create the Richmond bu< reaucracy which has strangled our schools with onerous mandates and sapped their strength.” He said Sen. Michie’s record on crime is “shameful. ” Set-aside date passed Sept. 1 Producers in Rappahannock County who participated in the 1991 Wheat and Feed Grain Program are reminded that the land they have set-aside for ACR and Cu for Pay cannot be hayed or grazed until Sept. 1.

Helmer family includes nine exchange students By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Pat and Dick Helmer have recently returned from Europe, where they vjsited^Xvith several of their grown children. These were six of the nine former exchang^jjtudents who have lived with the Helmers during the past 10 years. When the Helmers moved to Rappahannock from upstate New York in 1970, they brought with them two horses, two ponies, 13 cats, two rabbits, two dogs and three young daughters. Mr. Helmer was an industrial arts teacher. He had started his career on Long Island but moved to the Schenectady area when the schools on Long Island were cutting back on their industrial arts programs. After three years there, they decided to move where the weather was warmer and their girls would be safer. They had honeymooned in Virginia and liked the state, so they wrote inquiring about teaching jobs in Virginia. They took their Easter vacation and came down for interviews. “We left snow and drove into 90 degree weather, and we had only winter clothes,” Mrs. Helmer said. Of the places they went for interviews, they decided they liked Rappahannock best, and they next started looking for a house. Real estate agent William Lyne found them some land in the Castleton area with a house that was full of trash. “We had to climb over a pile of trash to get in the back door,” Mrs. Helmer said. “The front door was completely blocked.” Mr. Lyne offered to remove the trash, and he cut the lawn while they were looking at the house. “I’ve never seen anyone work so hard for a sale,” she added. With school out in New York,'they moved to Rappahannock and worked to make the house habitable. Their neighbors kept them in fresh vegetables during the summer, and with the coming of fall, their oldest daughter Wendy started first grade, and Mr. Helmer started teaching. Mrs. Helmer was finding life in the country with two small girls at home lonely. “After crying for six months, I decided I had to do something,” she said. Wendy had joined a Brownie Girl Scout troop, and Mrs. Helmer started helping out. The next year she had her own troop, Blue Ridge Neighbors and she continued for 12 more years, serving as Brownie, Junior, Cadette, and Senior leader, as service unit chairman and as a trainer of leaders. Some years she had one or more of her own daughters in her troop. Some years they were in other leaders’ troops while she worked with other people’s girls. Meanwhile Mr. Helmer was teaching, selling tickets and announcing at basketball games, and running the adult education program. “We had a big program with 150 to 200 people each year taking classes in chair caning, furniture refihishing, typing, income tax preparation, and knitting,” he said. In 1976 he left teaching and went to work for Keller Manufacturing in Culpeper. He was foreman and mill superintendent. In 1988 he retired and went to work selling real estate. “’88 was a great year; ’89 was not half bad, '90 was very slow, and ’91 is non-existent,” he said. So now he is looking for something else to do until real estate picks back up. In 1981 the Wendy was a junior in high school, and the Helmers got their first foreign exchange student, Victor from the Philippines. “I got involved with exchange students because I was getting burned out on Girl Scouts," Mrs. Helmer said. Their experience with Victor was so successful that the next year they had Juha from Finland. That did not work out. “It was massive culture shock,” Mrs. Helmer said. “When he stopped talking and spent all his time in his room, we decided we had to make a change.” Juha was sent to live with a family in Atlanta, but Mr. Helmer told him he would see him again, and this summer they did. After Juha left, the Helmers hosted Ricky, another Filippino. That summer, the Helmer’s youngest daughter Kim went as a summer exchange student and stayed with Victor’s and Ricky’s families in the Philippines. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Pat and Dick Helmer welcome German exchange student Torsten Oppel, center, to their Castleton home. The Helmers took the next year off from hosting, but in 1984 Gabrielle from Germany came to live with them. She is the only foreign daughter they have had among so many boys. In 1985 Raphael from Switzerland came. By the following school year the Helmers daughters were all in college, and they thought perhaps they were through with having exchange students, Raphael returned for a visit. Gabrielle came for a visit. Wendy visited them in Europe, and the Helmers also visited them in Europe. After two years with no exchange students, the Helmers found life with no teenagers in the house boring. They decided to host again, this time two boys to keep each other company, Jens from Denmark and Grego from Spain. Dawn Fisher of Washington had See HELMERS, p.

Bluegrass graces stoops ‘522’ performs at country stores By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer There is something new on the doorsteps of Rappahannock County stores. They are four friends band together to form a new musical group, “522 Bluegrass.” Getting practice and offering entertainment, Steve Mallory, his younger brother, Ben, and two friends, Rich Drake and Alan Resseman, have appeared several Saturday evenings on the steps of Laurel Mills Store and Viewtown Store. The band plays without compensation, their full-time daily jobs supporting their new-found hobby, though they hope to book private parties, social events, parties and other occassions in the future. “It’s like a practice session but with people there,” Ben Mallory, a carpenter from Castleton, said of these early gigs, his brother’s idea, offering a new charm to match the charm of country stores familiar in Rappahannock County. The four organized their band just a few months ago after they met at Ronnie Poe’s garage in Amissyille. “I decided I wanted to get a band toI gether,” said Steve Mallory, a Flint Hill resident employed with Virginia Department of Transportation. “I called around and came up with these guys,” he said, adding as children Ben and he played together in their Chester Gap home. Calling themselves 522 Bluegrass for their homeplace and the site of their band’s coming together (U.S. Route 522), the four began their bi-weekly practice sessions, even building a “shed up in Bean Hollow” for a working place. Working three to four hours each Tuesday and Thursday nights, the four decided an audience was necessary to judge their capabilities. Untrained, professionally, and able to read only the simplest music charts, the four play country, bluegrass and gospel with style and quality from ear. Steve holds his own with a banjo that’s just a few months old while Mr. Resseman, complete with ten-gallon hat and pointed-toed boots, offers a mandolin with experienced sound. See BLUEGRASS, p. B-8 Breadmaker's dream demonstrates real knead By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Heidi Eastham is working on making her dreams come true. Ultimately, Mrs. Eastham would like to own and operate a deli/bakery in Rappahannock County. Getting started with simple white, wheat and rye loaves in various sizes, Mrs. Eastham is selling breads to friends and family members in the area. Using her Flint Hill kitchen and a Fanny Farmer cookbook, Mrs. Eastham, a horse trainer, began selling “breads, yeast rolls and a few pies” as a means to earn a little extra money while not being able to work due to pregnancy. “I sell to my friends and family members,” she said, sitting on the floor of her restored home. The kitchen is warm in the August heat and radiates with the smell of freshly baked bread. A young woman, Mrs. Eastham said she was never “domestic as a young girl. I was always too busy. My mother and sister were always the ones to do the baking but now, suddenly, I enjoy it.” Using perfected recipes, modified for ease and originial taste, Mrs. Eastham requires at least one day’s notice for orders. “I started with just five loaves,” she said with laughter, adding at present, it has grown to number 25 customers. It didn’t take long for the business to bloom. It all started one afternoon when she and her husband, Lindsey, were selling com on Rt. 211. “I decided to try selling a few loaves of bread,” she said, adding her husband “never thought they would sell.” Every loaf sold and the demand grew. “I was so suprised,” she said. Hoping this small-scale baking will lead to “a place where the farm wives in Rappahannock can bring their canned goods, their baked goods, their jams and jelly, to sell,” Mrs. Eastham decided to test the market and discover if there was a demand for fresh bread. She has discovered in just “three The county should have a place where the farm wives in Rappahannock can bring their canned goods, their baked goods, their jams andjellies. ’ — Heidi Eastham Bread baker weeks,” her “small scale” business attracted quite a demand. “I get most of my orders on Thursday,” she said, adding she works then to complete the orders for delivery on Saturday and Sunday. “I use Ben Venue Market as a pick-up point,” she said, adding she also delivers bread to friends and family members. “It really feels good to be doing this,” she said with pride, adding “young people need to get up and get going. You just need initiative.”

Earl Jenkjns, Emmett Jenkins & Sandra Shenk r What Is A Grandparent? How do you describe a grandparent7 There is really no stereotype Some are younger, some are older; and they come in all shapes and sizes. A grandparent may be found driving a snappy new sports car or cruising in a vintage vehicle, lovingly washed and waxed every Saturday __f afternoon for the last twenty years. They may live in the city or in the country. . . in condos or in cottages. Then, how do you describe a grandparent? Maybe she brought out well-worn family photo albums. There you spent hours in fasci- ^ _J| nation and discovery. Maybe he was the >^r" best checker player you knew, but yet, Xj// amazingly sometimes you won! (Certainly, v he would never "let" vou win.t She made the smoothest gravy (Sometimes. Mom s had lumps), and he could whittle a twig into a toy (Dad never did that') Perhaps they let you snuggle closely between them at worship each week while Mom and Dad sang in the choir. Significantly, grandparents have time. . .time tor slow walks and long talks . . time well earned after raising their own children. . our parents. So, how do you describe a grandparent? You don t.

Other than one bee sting and the fact that Ike Beahm’s head connected with an errant baseball from the children’s game, we had a fun filled day alive with vibrant conversation, with first time attendees meeting their heretofore unknown relatives, reminences over old photographs and snapping new photos for future remembrances. The program was emceed again by James Galloway who spoke of the three Beahm/Beam/Boehm chapels he knows of in Virginia and Pennsylvania, highlighting the Boehm chapel in Lancaster County, Pa. where this Beahm line has its roots. The oldest attendee was recognized as being Neva Grant of Washington, D.C. for the third straight year, she being a young 92 years of age. Our youngest attendee was Blake Hauser of Richmond, he being a mere 4 1/2 months and is a fourth generation decendant of George W. and Nancy Bolen Beahm. For our teenage recognition, we saluted Willie Beahm Russell in his junior year at Mt. Vernon High School in Lorton who advised us that he is pointing towards a college football scholarship.

Countv homemakers share their verv favorite cookie recipes # By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Earlier this summer the Rappaiaunock Extension Homemakers mducted two of their annual comiuinitv services projects. On Sunay, June 9, they hosted the '•acealaureate Tea for graduates, heir families, and school staff at dappahannock High. This is a comminity service that the Extension Intnemakers have been doing for ver 20 years. The week of June 24>. the Extension Homemakers prowled homemade cookies each momig for snacks for 4-H Day Camp. When you consider that over 300 people attended the Baccalaureate Service and that we had 107 partici■ants (campers, teen leaders, and intructors) each day at 4-H Day amp, that’s a lot of cookies! And, hat’s a lot of generous Extension himemakers who donated their inredients. their time, and their tal■ nt to bake the cookies. Since I participated in both HOME ECONOMICS events and got to sample all the delicious cookies, I asked several of the Extension Homemakers to share their recipes with you this week. You can bake a batch this summer with your children or grandchildren or file them away until Christmas when it will be cookie-baking time again. 4-H sugar cookies (Toni Updike) 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon soda 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 cup butter, softened 2 eggs •1 cup sugar . 1 teaspoon vanilla Colored sugar or sprinkles Sift flour, soda, and tartar.

Press 1/2 candied cherry into center of each. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Yield: 4 dozen. Note: Drained maraschino cherries may be substituted if you don’t have candied cherries. Benne seed wafers (sesame) (Margaret Dodson) 3/4 c. benne seed (sesame seed, toasted) 1/2 c. butter (do not substitute) 2 c. light brown sugar 1 c. flour 1 egg, well beaten 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the sesame\seed on a cookie sheet and toast for 3 to 4 minutes. Cream butter; add brown sugar and beaten egg. Add flour, salt and vanilla. Fold in cooked benne seed. Drop by 1/2 teaspoon on aluminum foil-lined, ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees approximately 7 minutes. Allow to cool 1 minute and remove from foil. Yield: 7 dozen. Miss Dodson recommends buying seed from a Health Food Store. Call Mountainside Market. Also, Better Thymes in Front Royal usually has the seed in bulk. In grocery stores, the seed is found in the spice and herb section, but is very expensive to buy this way. Miss Dodson also shared some information on the origin of Benne seed wafers. Benne (African origin) - There are many recipes for this cookie. A few recipes use margarine; most don’t. The size of the cookie is another difference. Size ranges from 1 •teaspoon of dough to a coffee spoon. Smaller amount say bake on foil, larger amounts say greased cookie sheet. The Charleston area used Benne seeds in several ways — candy, cocktail bits, etc. It is thought that the slaves brought the seeds with them. It is considered good luck to have benne-sesame plants in your garden.

Weather watch: 1-3 partlycloudy, warm, followed by storms 4, 5. Look for a fair and warm two days 6 and 7, only to be followed by a tropical storm 8 and 9. The period 10-14 calls for fair and cooler temps with some rain and breezy conditions 15 and 16. There’ll be a long spell of fair and mild days 17-23, followed by more rain and cool temperatures 24-25. The month winds up with a forecast for partly cloudy, colder days 26-30. Tornado watch: Be on the lookout on 8 and 9 for some activity in our area and get ready to batten down the hatches. Full moon: This September’s full moon coincides excactly with this year’s Autumnal Equinox, Sept. 23, as the Sun enters the House of Libra and is also this year’s harvest moon. Children have returned to school, so, if you never practice careful and safe driving at any other time, be sure to do it at this time, especially in the marked school areas. And always heed the warnings when following a school bus. Though we don’t anticipate the first killing frost until early in Octo ber, the 6th to be exact, one never knows when nature could change her mind. It’s best to put the garden to bed, or at least be prepared to do so, as we approach that date. J. Gruber’s Thought For Today’s Living: One can always profit from going that extra mile in giving a little more than one expects to receive in return. 703/675-3338 Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space!

With her is camper David Aniel. Public schools' free, reduced lunch program guidelines set Rappahannock County Schools today announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price for meals served under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Each school and the School Administration Office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The following household size and income criteria will be used for determining eligibility: If household size is one the maximum household income for free meals is $8,606 and the household income range for reduced price meals is between $8,606.01 and $12,247. If household size is two the maximum household income for free meals is $11,544 and the household income range for reduced price meals is between $11,544.01 and $16,428. If household size is three the maximum household income for free meals is $14,482 and the household income range for reduced price meals is $14,482.01 and $20,609. If household size is four the maxilevel shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out the application and re turn it to the school. Additional copies are available in the principal’s office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. .For the school officials to determine eligibility, the househould must provide the following information listed on the application: names of all household members and social security numbers of the primary wage earner or the adult household member signing the application and all income received in the household. For households currently receiving food stamps or Aid to Dependent Children (ADC)/Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the child’s name, case number and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct must be provided on an application. Households are required to report increases in household income of over $50 per month or $600 per year and decreases in household size. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, the school principal will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he or she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make a request either orally or in writing to: Dr. David Gangel, P.O. Box 273, Sperryville, Va. 22740. The policy statement for free and reduced price meals contains an outline of the hearing procedures. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the child or the household eligible for reduced price meals, or for additional benefits such as free meals if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above. In certain cases foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a household has foster care children living with them, who are the legal responsibility of the courts or welfare agency, and wishes to apply for such meals for them, the household must complete an application. The information provided by the household is confidential and will be used only for purposes of determining eligibility and verifying data.

Prize winner Scott Updike of Washington displayed this champion bred cow with natural calf entry at the 1991 Virginia Angus Breeders’ Show in Harrisonburg recently.

Helmers Continued from page B-1 been acting as area representative for Youth for Understanding, the program that serves Rappahannock. She wanted to give up that volunteer position and asked Mrs. Helmer if she would take over. “I decided that rather than do it myself, we'd do it together; it would be a team effort,” Mrs. Helmer said. “Some team effort,” Mr. Helmer commented. “I do all the work, and you get to play with the kids.” Actually Mr. Helmer does most pf the recruiting, Americans to go overseas and families to host students com'ing to the United States. Then Mrs. Helmer does the interviewing. Together they try to match the students coming with host families. Once the foreign students are in the area, the Helmers keep in touch at least monthly with the students and their American families. Theys are the ones called if the students or families are having problems adjusting. Sometimes a student is more comfortable talking with Mrs. Helmer, and sometimes Mr. Helmer is the one chosen. During their second year as area representatives the Helmers hosted Kentaro from Japan. Last year they thought they would again take a year off from hosting. However, they had placed Dave from the Netherlands with a family in Culpeper and the year wasn’t going well for him, so he came to live with the Helmers. This summer Mr. Helmer was asked to fly to Finland with exchange students returning after their year in America. He eagerly accepted and Mrs. Helmer went along. They visited Juha, Jens, Gabrielle, Raphael, and Dave and their families, and got home a few days before returning to the airport to welcome Torsten from Germany for the current year. He was no stranger to them; they had visited him and his family during their trip also. They didn’t visit with Grego in Spain this summer because in a sense he hasn’t left yet. Since his year in Rappahannock he has been attending St. Andrews College in North Carolina. Although he spent his summer in Spain, he’ll soon be back in Virginia preparing to return to college. Bluegrass Continued from page B-1 Originally from Minnesota, Mr. Resseman now manages a thoroughbred breeding farm in Fauquier County. A friend of Steve’s, Mr. Drake (of Flint Hill) offers years of experience with guitar. With a twang to his voice like Hank Williams, Ben is lead singer, playing bass. “The stores we play at are the stores we grew up around,” he said, adding on these porch steps the four feel at home around “people we know. It’s more comfortable than having strangers around.” “The people really like hearing us,” Mr. Drake, a full-time contractor, said. “When they tell us we’ve done a good iob, that’s the reward,” he said. “Experience is the best lesson,” Steve said, adding with each gig at country stores the band relaxes a bit more before the audience. Nervous does not describe the feeling the four felt the first time they appeared on the porch at Viewtown Store. “I think everyone was nervous,” Steve said, adding “we still are but we are working on it.” “The stores give us a chance to get used to playing” before an audience, Steve said. Offering favorites by Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, and others, the four-man band perfects their music by listening. “We get songs off the radio and some songbooks,” Steve said. After three months of practice, three store gigs, the band is ready for more. “We are getting real comfortable at Laurel Mills,” Steve said with a shy smile.
