Steeplechase circuit comes to Ben Venue By BETSY BURKE AiCrnn Ncwtpapm Staff Writer Serious series steeplechasing competition will be renewed at the Saturday, April 4 running of the Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point at Ben Venue Farm. Point standings are close in the owner-rider hurdles and the ladies timber series, making for some of the season’s most exciting racing. Splits of at least two races are expected, and a full day of top Commonwealth racing is certainly in store. The owner-rider hurdle contest has attracted a slew of entrants, all fresh from a week off. Points leaders Jolly River, with William Russell, and Military Pride, with John Branscome, head the field of eight. Jolly River won the season opener at Casanova Feb. 22, with Military Pride fourth. Military Pride came right back and won his next two starts, each time beating Jolly River into second. A repeat duel is set up for Saturday. Spoilers for another fierce stretch drive will include Hot Rodder and new owner Harry Wight. The gelding is a former Dogwood Stable color-bearer and was an allowance winner over hurdles for that owner. Gus Brown and his father’s Pop’s Cherry won the only other owner-rider hurdle contest this spring, beating Jolly River into a distant sixth-place. Pop’s Cherry took several weeks off to recover from a mild cold, and she may be the most well-rested in the bunch. Other horse and rider combinations to watch in the two-mile ’chase will be Sello Y Firmo and Jim Whitner, and Deal’s Island with Noel Twyman. Each of the eight entrants stands a good chance in the competitive race. The owner-rider timber race will run over three miles of solid obstacles and features Henry Wood and his indomitable Topeador. The Chilean-bred gelding won in a one-horse (one finisher) race at the March 7 Blue Ridge races, following that up with an easy win at the March 21 Piedmont event. Old Dominion Hunt Master of Foxhounds William Osier will ride his mare Midnight Moves in the contest. Midnight Moves has hunted many seasons with the pack and is sure to be the emotional favorite. An abbreviated field of five will step onto the course to face Topeador. Consistent winner Sir Fieldmont, with Michael Turner, should provide stiff competition and press the pace. The ladies contest promises a field of seven strong contenders for the three-mile race. Heading the group is three-time 1992 winner Tom’s War. Owner Ready Snodgrass is looking to capture more points and add to her lead in this series. Jill Waterman, her closest rival, will ride either Worthy Key or Nomoniker and try to stop Tom’s War’s winning streak. Michele Rouse will ride her Fire Sale, with Dawn Dugan also entering the fray. Sara Laimbeer rounds out the field on her Courtly Bee. An open hurdle contest is carded to run over two miles. Exciting entrants in the steeplechase are recent winners Oakbum and Forever Lynne. Trainer Pat Myer has not listed a rider on Kinross Farm’s Oakbum, but apprentice Gus Brown has guided the New Zealand-bred in a most professional manner in this season’s win and places. Barry Duncan will ride Forever Lynne, a winner at the March 7 Blue Ridge races. The maiden hurdle race attracted 23 runners, possibly meaning a split. At the top of the class, set for a win, is Mr. Osier’s royally-bred Spell Singer. Irish visitor Charlie McCann will ride the gelding, by top-rated sire The Minstrel. See HORSE RACES, p. A-3 B&B permit approved by board i • Castleton proposal had riled neighbors By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals has voted unanimously to approve a special use permit for Carol Frances to operate a bed and breakfast in the house she rents on Route 618 near Castleton. At last Wednesday’s meeting Ms. Frances said she had met with neighbors who had urged her to withdraw her application. She submitted a letter in which she said she would allow her neighbors to review the operation of her bed and breakfast after a six-month period. In the letter she said she would allow them to consider whether there was any visual impairment, loud or annoying noise, trespassing or invasion of their privacy, and whether she responded quickly to complaints. She also said she would get liability insurance. “I’ve gone about as far as I could without withdrawing my application,” she said. She said she had had three inquiries from people interested in staying at her place since the Planning Commission hearing a week earlier. Charles Coombs said Ms. Frances’s letter was “nice” but it didn’t “overcome the main objection. It’s the first step in the breakdown of a residential neighborhood,” he said. Stonewall-Hawthom representative Sid Gottlieb noted that the area is zoned agricultural, not residential. James Cannon said he had bad experiences with a bed and breakfast that had closed but had formerly been open in property adjoining his family’s farm. He said guests had brought dogs that trespassed on his property and chased a herd of cows during the calving season. He said in another incident children staying at the bed and breakfast had thrown trash, including bottles, from the roadside onto the road. Ms. Frances said she did not plan to rent to people with dogs or children. The BZA members ddHded the See B&B, p. A-3 : ", -.'I? -f- *.v: Road work !

Library aims for state computer-records grant By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Library Board members are awaiting word from the state library on an application for a $23,500 grant. The decision has been made at the state library level, but it will be May before they know. If the library receives the grant, by the summer of 1993 patrons will be able to use a computer instead of a card catalog to find books. The catalog will be on a CD ROM disc, and it should be much faster to search for books by a known author or books on a certain subject with the computer than with the card catalog. This summer the library will hire a parttime worker to help with the grant. Shelf cards will be sent to an outside contractor to prepare the CD ROM and a tape listing of the library’s holdings to go into the state’s records. With the library’s holdings on record in Richmond, borrowers from throughout the state will have access to the books through the interlibrary loan system. The high school and schools in Orange and Culpeper counties as well as Germanna Community College have also applied for grants to have computer records of their holdings sent to Richmond. That way patrons will be able to borrow from nearby libraries through interlibrary loan. Once the library’s current collection of about 18,000 volumes are available on the computer, it will be necessary to upgrade the CD ROM when new volumes are added. The grant will cover this expense the first year. After that it will cost about $500 each year, librarian Nikki Lynch said. This is another part of the library’s effort to take advantage of computer technology. Eventually books will be checked out using a bar code scanner. The library is also working on being able to have access to information available by computer at the high school. At last Thursday’s meeting the board also discussed the driveway and parking area. The board members agreed that the parking area needs to be enlarged. They did not agree that it yet needs to be paved. GOP forms committee on letters Frazier: NEA flap not behind change By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock N»w« Staff Writer The Rappahannock Republican Committee formed an “Editorial Subcommittee” last week to provide for a review process pertaining to letters sent to the Rappahannock News, according to Chairman Ron Frazier. “Some on the committee are liberal minded and they felt someone could overstep their bounds by sending [a letter] in,” said Mr. Frazier. Mr. Frazier created a flap recently by writing letters attacking federal Rinding of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), letters that drew a number of responses in opposition to his opinions. “It’s not a gag or gag order. . . . It’s more an involvement, a more active committee stand,” said Mr. Frazier. He said the formation of the Editorial Subcommittee was not a result of any split within the county Republicans over the NEA funding issue. “I don’t think there’s anyone on the committee who feels the opposite way about that,” he said. The committee has had some review of official statements in the past, he noted, but the formation of the Editorial Subcommittee is unprecedented. “There was a remark back about the late October letter I wrote [to the News]; one member stated it might not be in the best interests of the committee,” said Mr. Frazier. That letter said the News’ political endorsements appeared to have been done “under coercion,” and that a poster of State Senate candidate Margaret Haynes had been tacked up over one of incumbent Republican Sen. Kevin Miller. The poster incident, said Mr. Frazier in the letter, and “the terrible ad Mr. [Doug] Baumgardner [then-chairman of the county Democrats] approved in [the News’] last issue show that the Democrats are desperate and their candidates losers. See FRAZIER, p. A-3 Prominent Flint Hill resident dies Funeral services were held last Sunday in Flint Hill for Maurice “Moe” Walker, 67, long active in community affairs. Mr. Walker died Thursday in the Winchester Medical Center following a heart attack. His passing leaves big shoes to fill in the Flint Hill United Methodist Church— at the time of his death he was chairman of the church’s Administrative Council—and in the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company. Born May 17, 1924 in Gordonsville, Mr. Walker was the son of the late Maurice D. and Mary Lou Wood Walker. He leaves a widow, Evelyn Cook Walker of Flint Hill, a son, Douglas O. Walker of Rome, Ga., and a daughter, Joyce E. Walker of Arlington, Va. He was retired from the U.S. Postal Service and was employed by Turner-Robertshaw Funeral Home in Front Royal. He was a veteran of World War II. Mr. Walker’s many civic and community interests included membership in the BPOE Elks Lodge No. 2382 in Front Royal, but it was perhaps his contributions to the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company that were most noteworthly. He was a leading organizer of the fire department’s popular carnival every year, taking the initiative to recruit Miss Virginia, among countless other efforts. He was the fire department secretary at the time of his passing. “He was the carnival committee,” said Flint Hill Assistant Chief Frankie Huff, who knew Mr. Walker for years. “He orchestrated the whole thing, and the parade was something he was particularly proud of.” Mr. Walker was a prime mover in all of the fire department’s fundraising activities. At his funeral last weekend, Rev. Merlin Shorb said, “He was obviously one of the friendliest folks on this side of the gap, and probably also on the other side. For our own edification, he wasn’t afraid to get involved. Moe was active in the fire company, in the Elks Club and in his church. For these reasons alone we will miss him all the more. These are largely volunteer organizations that could not exist without the time and energy invested by ordinary citizens, like you and me. I sincerely hope some of us here today will adjust our priorities enough to be involved, along with all the volunteers who manage Sm OBITUARY, p.A-2 Moe Walker

Obituary Continued from page A-1 Rappahannock Newt Tile Photo/Cindy Mahan Runners at the start of 1990's Fodderstack 10-K. Fodderstack race highlights spring to keep our community in working order. We are certainly impoverished souls if we feel we have to be salaried for every little thing we do.” Funeral services were Sunday at the Flint Hill United Methodist Church, Rev. Shorb officiating. Interment was in the Flint Hill Cemetery. Active pallbearers were Jack Curtis, Emory Russell, Doug Bywaters Sr., Richard Settle, Howard Ryon and Wallace Russell. Members of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company were honorary pallbearers. Memorial gifts may be made to the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company, P.O. Box 179, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. Next time you teed your face, think about your heart. V American Heart Association By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Fourteen years ago the first Fodderstack 10KM Classic road race was run in Rappahannock County. Later this month, April 25, it will be conducted again over the Flint Hillto-Washington course. Named for Fodderstack Road, the picturesque country lane that connects the two villages, the race is organized by the Rappahannock Recreational Facilities Authority, sponsored by The Inn at Little Washington, and co-sponsored by Eileen Day Realty and Roy Wheeler Realty. Runners will compete in 10 age categories for men and 10 for women, and local runners will be chasing the Eva Smith Memorials, given to the top male and female runners from Rappahannock County every year. As popular as the race has become over its history, a cloud threatens the event: money. According to organizer Jean Lillard, an extraordinary effort by The Inn at Little Washington doesn’t make up for dwindling corporate sponsorships— contributions that have kept the annual event alive in the past.

Any business or individual who can pitch in is encouraged to call Ms. Lillard at 675-3670 or Mr. McCarthy at 6753342. “While the race brings Rappahannock attention, and tourism, whatever money we do make goes to fund improvements at the county park,” noted Mr. McCarthy. Pre-registration is $14 and is due by April 17. Send checks payable to the Rappahannock Recreational Authority to P.O. Box 124, Flint Hill, 22627. Registration takes place the day of the race at Vierling’s Warehouse on U.S. 522 in Flint Hill by 9:30 a.m. and costs $17. Transportation from Washington (the finish line) to Flint Hill is available, but you must be at the courthouse by 9 a.m. For more information call 6753342 (after business hours a machine will pick up) or write to the above address. There are new categories for runners in their 40s this year, due to increased demand. The categories are (the same for men and women): 12 and under, 13-18, 19-24, 25-29, 3034, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-59, and 60 and over. In addition to the Eva Smith Memorial Awards (donated this year by Merrill Strange), trophies go to the first three finishers in each category. Virginia Savings Bank of Front Royal presents a $300 check to any runner to break the men’s or women’s course records; they split the check if both records fall. The men’s record is 31:26, set by Steve Pinard. The women’s record is 36:46, held by Kim Belyea. After the race, the Washington Baptist Church will hold its annual spring event featuring box lunches, a plant sale, refreshments and a flea market. Numerous galleries and shops will also be open in Washington. Application forms have been sent to those who have run in past years, but if you need one, call 675-3342. Real Estate S Eileen M. Day REALTOR 'PORTABLE* HONE MORTGAGE In an effort to Keep mortgage customers, some lenders are experimenting with a 'portable* mortgage. Imagine a home loan that can be moved from house to house like furniture, or a loan approval that can be transferred from one mortgage to the next, speeding the closing process for buyers and sellers alike. Once a credit underwriting analysis Is performed for the Initial loan, the borrower can obtain future loans without going through all the paperwork again. They simply update the Information. An appraisal would still be required on each subsequent property the borrower wants to purchase. This amounts to the lender saying: 'We approved you once, your loan has performed well, so you wont have to suffer through another origination process.' Spokesmen for rannle liaye and rreddle Mac say they still have no plans to buy portable mortgages but would be willing to consider doing so If the loan generates widespread consumer Interest.

Got your goat? Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The animal warden rescued these three kids and a ram (the ram’s not pictured) near Rock Mills two weeks ago, and the owner has not been found. Call the Sheriffs Office at 987-8787 if they’re yours, or if you know the owner. They are currently staying at Goat Hill Farm in Washington, probably a pretty good place for them. Frazier Continued from page A-1 “The only way for them to win is through deceit and outright lies. This is made worse when I remember that Mr. Baumgardner was an elected official in this county in the past. Mr. Krebser is supposed to be a doctor in Washington, Va. and a member of the Planning Commission of Rappahannock County, and writes about Sen. Miller ‘no one knew he existed.’ It’s a shame we can’t feel the same about him,” said Mr. Frazier in the letter. Mr. Baumgardner is a former Rappahannock Commonwealth’s attorney, now a lawyer in private practice in Washington, Va. “I responded to negative campaigning with negative campaigning,” said Mr. Frazier this week. Asked if the Editorial Subcommittee’s existence will keep him from writing to the paper, Mr. Frazier said it will not. “I certainly will, if I feel strongly about an issue.” He said that by making a note of his position within the county Republican establishment, the News had brought the issue to a head within the committee. Another purpose of the Editorial Subcommittee, he said, will be to “keep a clean thought going at one time," which he said meant they will be sending in opinion pieces on a regular basis to the paper. He said he welcomes review of his letters by the new subcommittee. “Everybody is not a specialist in one thing,” he said. The other Republicans could “suggest changes, find statistics to back up things I would say.” He also attacked what he said were not-true-believers within the county GOP. “We need to find out if these people are genuinely with the cause or not sincere. As Miles Godwin told John Warner at the 1988 convention, for those people who don’t hold the party’s ideals, there’s another party for them.” The Rappahannock Republican Committee, he said, “is not Ron Frazier. The committee is a committee of the community.” Members of the Editorial Subcommittee are John Marocchi, Maurice Herndon and Melanie Kopjanski.

They also stipulated that the only sign be the name of the place on the mailbox. The members also approved special use permits for Eldon Crowell and Laymon Horton to construct family apartments on their properties. Mr. Crowell said he wanted a family apartment for his sister, who lives in Oregon and is in poor health. Mr. Hortbn’s family apartment would be for his son and daughterin-law to build on his property to care for him. Member Jennifer Matthews was concerned that Mr. Horton’s house had water only at a sink and no septic system. The new building will include a septic system, but it will not serve the main house. “They’re doing the right thing with the new house,” Piedmont District representative Jimmy Swindler noted. The members agreed they could not do anything about the existing house. They also approved the site plans for the new Assembly of God Church to be constructed on U.S. 522-211.

The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, APRIL 2,1992 Dogfight Several recent letters and phone calls have raised the question of our support of the efforts of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL) through publishing regular t photos of available dogs and listings of lost dogs. It’s a fail ; question, but it appears that in some cases those expressing ! concern are acting on incorrect or incomplete information. Whether or not you agree with this paper’s practices and policies, you should at least be aware of what they are. First of all, every single week, in the Classified Section, readers can find a listing of lost dogs, which we run free ol charge. Unfortunately, we simply cannot commit to running 1 the dog photos and found-dog listing every week. The reason i is simple: the Rappahannock News, during the past six * months, has ranged in size from eight to 20 pages, depending * on the advertising content. There are many things we can in: elude in a 20-page paper that we cannot fit into a eight-page ► news hole. While we put a high priority on the dog photos, ; there is a limit to what we can do, given the available space. I That being said, readers should also be aware that the '^amount of free space devoted to the admirable efforts ol KAWL is greater than that provided to any other single nonZ Profit cause in Rappahannock, and any regular subscriber is no * doubt aware there is a large number of them. We are more ;■ than happy to provide those working with adopted animals free access to our paper, but to be maligned for it is another matter. There may not be more than a handful of RAWL volunteers who, as we do, make an effort every single week on behalf of lost dogs. Given that the lost-dog report runs every week, it’s safe to say that the criticism is that the photo of an adoptable dog isn’t running every single week. A little history: About a year ago it was the Rappahanrwck News’ suggestion, not RAWL’s, that a photo would be more effective than simply a listing. And by all accounts it has been. During the first few months the photos were not being supplied on a consistent basis, but this paper took it upon itself to pursue the matter, and today those running the shelter are doing an excellent job of sending them in, and on time. We have accomodated RAWL in other ways as well, and we would never bother to point all of that out, except that now readers are threatening to pull their subscriptions^, saying we aren’t doing enough. It’s important to realize that we never promised that the photos would run every week, nor could we. There are a multitude of other activities going on in the county during a given week, and when push has come to shove we have had to decide to hold over the dog photos—after all, they are in the paper almost every week. And the Classified Section’s free lost-dog registry and shelter information does run in every issue_ eight pages or 20. We are committed to running the photos as regularly as we can, and feel that the demand by readers warrants it. But when you pick up a eight-page paper and don’t find it in there, dpn t think that our commitment has diminished. Our news hole, maybe, but not our commitment. You might ask why we’re even keeping this issue alive, as the dog photos have been running, as usual, in our paper since the letters started coming in. The answer is simple: Our silence could be interpreted aagoing along with those who want us to print the photos every week. When we don’t run them one week, which will inevitably happen, we’ll have the same controversy all over > again. We have nothing but admiration for those who spend, as i we do, their time and resources week in and week out aiding the sad plight of animals who end up in the shelter. There is much to be done and we hope more will pitch in in the future. One final thought: the attention that this matter has drawn to the shelter, RAWL, and this paper’s continued support of the plight of lost, abused and orphaned dogs has been an unintended benefit of the controversy. If this tempest in a teapot has people talking about the shelter and the fine folks at RAWL, even at the expense of some unwarranted bad publicity for the News, we can live with that. Some clouds do indeed have silver linings. Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock High baseball coach Mike Tupper hits fungoes in front of catcher Mike Jenkins during practice recently.

He kept the fire from reaching pipes which would have erupted emitting flammable gasses into the basement possibly causing an explosion.

THERESA REYNOLDS Bowl-a-Thon Committee RRCSB Culpeper Bowl-a-Thon to be held To the Editor: Two years ago, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board began a small adult day care program at Shadow Lawn in Warrenton. With a modest start-up grant from the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association, we sought to provide a place for Alzheimer’s victims and other conftised and frail elderly people. Since the expiration of the startup grant, we’ve supported the program with client fees, a small amount from United Way, and an annual bowlathon that we call “Bowl for Seniors.” It is our hope that the day care center might serve nearby Rappahannock County families in need of a safe place for a confused or frail member during the day. We offer warm, personal attention, a meal and snacks, a crafts program, music and exercise. We’re especially proud that we’ve been able to provide this service without high administrative costs. u The day-to-day direction is pro Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

GEORGE ALLEN It is clear that changes are needed in the way we are educating our children. It is just as clear that money alone is not solving our problems. The United States spends more money on education than most other nations. Yet, test scores demonstrate that countries spending less money are doing a better job in educating their young people. Where then does the problem lie? Much of the blame can be laid on the federal and state governments. It seems that many congressman and governors believe education (as well as a host of other things) can best be handled out of a central bureaucracy in Washington or at the state capitol. Their attitude is, “Parents and local school boards surely don’t know how to best educate their own children.” But these bureaucrats do not help our children to actually learn to read or write. At best, they are inconsequential. And, of course, these same “leaders” also feel that the more money spent, the better the result. The only problem is, they’re dead wrong. Instead of increased student performance and a better managed system of education, they have given us a self-perpetuating, money-digesting bureaucracy which is out of touch with reality, let alone local school needs. We need to set priorities concerning the spending for education. The first is a bill which I will soon introduce to cut personnel costs from the Department of Education and return most of the resulting savings directly to local school districts. The legislation will cut bureaucratic overhead by 10 percent over a twoyear period. Ninety percent of the savings will be sent to local school districts; 10 percent will go toward reducing the federal deficit. The personnel budget for the Department of Education this year is nearly $284 million, which supports a staff of more than 4,600. My legislation would redirect over $56 million to local school districts and to deficit reduction. My purpose is simple. The people, that means you, in local school districts can determine, better than the federal government, how to use this revenue to actually deliver improved education to our elementary and secondary school students. You all know whether textbooks, teacher salaries, new buildings or some other items are your most important need. In working on this legislation I have discovered how federal bureaucracies are more interested in perpetuating their existence rather than improving our schools. But I will not be deterred by this irritating roadblock and will push ahead for this priority reform. The second piece of legislation I am working on is a bill which I have co-sponsored, H.R. 3967, to redirect more than $60 million in Pell Grant funds from convicted felons to middle-income college students. These Pell Grants, which are taxpayers’ funds, are currently pouring into our nation’s prison system for education programs. This prevents hardworking, middle-class individuals from receiving the federal student aid by this improper depletion of funds available for college students. It may seem unbelievable that federal tax dollars are being used to give Pell Grants to prisoners, but it’s happening. The $160 million, if redirected, could provide $2,400 grants to over 65,000 students who are finding it increasingly difficult to finance their higher education, especially in Virginia. Under H.R. 3967, Pell Grants would be targeted to help students from working families. There are other reforms needed to improve education in the United States. The essential ingredient, however, is to encourage and allow parents to be more involved in the education of their sons and daughters. Education must begin at home and be constantly nurtured there. Over the years American parents have turned too much of their responsibility for education over to government—local, state and federal. And, the state and local governments have in some cases usurped parental responsibility. We must find ways to get parents more involved with their children individually and also with their local schools. I was pleased that legislation allowing local option for elected school boards, which I strongly supported as a member of the House of Delegates, has finally been enacted into law in Virginia. This will help make local school systems more accountable to parents and the community at large. (Mr. Allen represents the 7th District of Virginia, which includes Rappahannock.—Ed.) George and Susan Allen at a surprise party for the congressman’s 40th birthday last month given by supporters.

Schools' '92 census scheduled The state’s public schools are counting; all of the state’s children in order to portion out more than $450 million in education funds. The triennial school census, mandated by Virginia law, is used to determine the distribution of the one percent of state sales tax funds that is returned to localities for school division use. During the 1989-90, fiscal year, that amounted to $451 million. State and local school officials also use the census figures for planning purposes. The school census will count all children one through 19 years of age, and all children with disabilities two through 21 years of age. Dr. David M. Gangel, superintendent of schools in Rappahannock County, indicates that the local schools will use a combination of take-home forms and door-to-door canvassing to complete the census survey. The census takers will ask parents to identify the name, age and sex of every child in the family. Information on disabilities will be checked to make sure that all disabled children are receiving appropriate special education and related services as required by federal law. Local census takers will have proper identification and a letter signed by Dr. Gangel. The census will be conducted between March 27 and July 15. Final counts are due to the Virginia Department of Education Aug. 15. It is critical to Rappahannock County that all residents give their full cooperation to the census takers.

This is in conjunction with February being Heart Month and Dental Month. The first week they discussed how the heart works. According to Mrs. Flinchum, the instructional kit provided by the American Heart Association gave them invaluable ideas and reference materials. They listened to their own hearts and friends’ hearts with a stethoscope, examined a model of a heart, and had a nurse come in to measure the electricity in their hearts using an EKG machine. The kids are proud of the fun facts they have learned about the heart. Such as: How fast does an elephant’s heart beat? How far would our veins and arteries stretch if they were placed end to end? Just ask Mrs. Flinchum’s Busy Bee’s! The second week the emphasis was on the effects of smoking on the heart. The students designed post IT'S ELEMENTARY What's Happening at RCES by Diana Corbin ere and learned a song, “Smoke is No Joke,” all based on the bad effects of smoking. The third week they began using aerobic exercise classes and took their pulses to discover the relationship of exercise to their heart. A chef came in and gave them samples of healthy foods. The class also prepared and ate their own vegetable soup. For Dental Week a dentist visited their class to demonstrate correct care of teeth. At the end of the month the students compiled their own book with all their own writings and drawings and information they had learned (little did they know they were learning while having alot of fun). • Please come to the April PTO meeting and nominate next year’s officers.

Lions hearing, sight project reaches kids By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock Ncwa Contributing Writer “It was a wonderful way to spend a day.” That’s how one of the newer members of the Lions Club described his initial exposure to service in the Sight and Hearing Van at Rappahannock High School. Perhaps he was realizing the importance of the process, the care being taken in testing the eyes and ears of the students. Or maybe he was expressing the rare pleasure of meeting so many fine young people face-to-face and observing that they seemed to appreciate the effort being made by their elders to keep their sight and hearing in good working order. During the three days of local activity, March 16-18, the Lions Screening Van team, coordinated by Bob Anderson, assisted by Dave Smith and Hubie Gilkey, served the students who participated at Rappahannock Elementary School, Rappahannock High School and the Wakefield Coun try Day School in Huntly. A total of 793 students were processed at the three locations. The Screening Van Committee was supported by 12 additional members of the Lions Club and by four other volunteers who contributed a total of 110 hours of sight and hearing service. The test results are added to standard forms previously filled out by the students and, in the case of minors, co-signed by a parent. The completed forms are then reviewed by a Lion expert and turned over to the school staff for referrals to specialists as test results may indicate.

RCHS softball team opens with 3 wins By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock High softball team has opened up a 2-0 Bull Run District record in its first week of competition, beating Page 9-4 and Manassas Park 12-11 in extra innings. The Lady Panthers opened the season at home against Page, and after the visiting opponent scored one run Rappahannock poured it on. Sherron Boddie was 3-for-4 at the plate, Dietrich Beaver was 2-for-2 and Leah Marlett went 2-for-3. Susan Payne went the distance, giving up five hits and striking out three for the win. The following day Rappahannock traveled to Luray for a non-district game against the team that beat them twice in ’91. Boddie was 2-for-2 and Payne struck out eight for her second win of the season. The final score: Rappahannock 8, Luray 6. Monday night Rappahannock hosted Manassas Park, and the Cougars put up a fight, coming back from an 11-2 fifth-inning deficit to tie the game and force an eighth inning.

Payne went the distance again, to bring her record to 3-0 on the season, 2-0 in the district. Boddie is hitting .667 over the first three games to lead the team. “Things are going super,” said Coach Renee Leake. “So far I think our hitting is coming along, which was our weakness last year.” The baseball team found itself in the middle of a pitchers’ duel Monday against Manassas Park, and time ran out on the Panthers. Rappahannock’s right-hander Hunter Foster went the distance and only gave up four hits. Unfortunately, a hit batsman was all the difference, as it led to the winning run. The final score: Manassas Park Cougars 2, Rappahannock Panthers 1. A base-hit and the walk put men on first and second for MP in the fourth inning, and then a wild pitch allowed both to advance a base. With men on second and third a blooper single scored both, giving MP the slight margin of victory. Foster threw 87 pitches in seven innings and tossed an impressive 13 strike-outs. The Panthers’ lone run came on an RBI double by Kevin Jolliffe that scored catcher Mike Jenkins. The loss was Foster’s second of the season. Earlier in the wee^va strong hitting Page County team got eight hits and won easily, 12-0. Page’s pitcher Butch Gordon one-hit the Panthers; Justin Ferrence’s first-inning hit was the only one he gave up. Foster went four innings, getting the loss. Kevin Daymude and Leroy North came in in relief. Wakefield-Marshall resumes sports Wakefield School in Marshall began its spring sports season this week with students competing in three different sports. Michael Irani of Front Royal was the star tennis player in his singles tennis match played at Randolph-Macon Academy. Irani won the match 6-1. The Wakefield Tennis Team competed in five other singles and three doubles matches but, despite enthusiasm, the players were unable to defeat the RMA players. The girls’ soccer team faced off against Word of Life School in Springfield this week. The first goal of the game was scored by Mary Beth Williams of Flint Hill. Word of Life was able to make four consecutive goals before Wakefield finally scored again thanks to the talent of Stephanie Tomeden, also of Flint Hill. Coach Tim Buchanan was extremely pleased with his young team’s effort. He commented that his players definitely have the skill level required for successful competition in the league, but that they were exposed to some things that require additional practice. The team of 16 players, composed primarily of students in grades seven and eight, has nine remaining games scheduled in addition to the final tournament. The boys volleyball team did not fare as well, losing 4-0 against Word of Life. This season marks the first year that Wakefield has fielded a boys’ volleyball team. The group has been practicing eagerly under the guidance of coaches Rob Saville and Toni Updike. The team has five additional matches scheduled for this spring and in anticipation has stepped up their training schedule to improve skills where needed. Athletic Director Rob Saville was pleased with the efforts of all of the Wakefield players. The students had not practiced in interscholastic competitions since the school relocated to Marshall last September. Saville was impressed with the levels of enthusiasm and dedication that the students were applying to their teams. Wakefield-Huntly's soccer, volleyball results Wakefield Country Day SchoolHuntly opened spring boys volleyball competition this week with a 415, 16-14, 15-10 comeback win at home against Seton Hall Saturday and a 13-15, 14-16 loss to Seton Hall later that same day. In the first match, leading pointserver ws David Brandt, a freshman, with 7. Oliver Culley had 7 service points in both of the second match’s two games. The two games left Wakefield CDS 1-1 in Delaney Conference play. The Wakefield CDS girls soccer team opened play Saturday at home against Seton Hall, losing a tough match, 6-0.

March weather shows spring's unpredictable By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer March came in like the “lion” and has passed like a “lamb,” leaving a “variety of weather” in her wake. Local weather watcher Dennis Wingfield in Sperryville said March brought everything from snow, to snow and rain, to sleet, to sunshine, to rain aged-back again to snow and rain. “It’s been a mixed bag,” he said, adding his carefully compiled records show this month to be 2.2 degrees cooler than last March. Besides that, March 1992 has rolled away leaving 1.03 inches less precipitation than March 1991. Mr. Wingfield measured 5.30 inches of rainfall for this March and 6.33 inches of rainfall in 1991. “We are still dry,” said extension agent, agriculture, Tommy Williams, adding streams are not “flowing like they should be.” “If we hit another dry summer, like we did last year, we could be in bad shape,” he said. He said while winter precipitation has been adequate for some winter crops, the constant wind drys whatever moisture quickly. Mr. Williams said the winter months have been dry, leaving parts of the county that were striken with drought like conditions in the summer, in “bad shape.” He said in Flint Hill and north, the county is still dry while the southern end, toward Woodville, an area that received more precipitation last summer, is in better shape. “It’s like the county is divided,” he said. Mr. Wingfield said precipitation for the last three months has measured 10.71 inches compared to last year’s 11.64 inches for January - through-March. And, while rainfall has been rare, snowfall has been rarer. Mr. Wingfield said since the first day of winter, Dec. 21, the county has seen only eight inches of snowfall with one inch falling in March. In 1991, the county received snow on March 30. In March 1990, the county recieved seven inches of snow, the latest falling on March 25. In that sameVear, snow fell on April 6, measuring three inches. “It’s odd,” said Mr. Wingfield, adding the other significant factor he finds with the weather recently is that as we move into the weekend temperatures should be eight degrees cooler than at the beginning of March. March departed leaving three nights with temperatures at 18 degrees and the coolest daytime temperature at 37 degree. For some the cooler weather is welcome. “I’d like for it to stay cool for another month,” said Mr. Williams, adding the cooler weather keeps peach and apple blossoms from getting too anxious, blooming too soon and being cut down by frost. “There has been a little bit already,” he said, adding the damage done to peach trees is very slight, “hardly worth mentioning.” He said the peach buds are showing pink and the apple branches are “silver-tipped.” It’s all fairly safe at this point. But, if we hit a hot spell, we could be in trouble. “The last frost around here is May 15,” he said, warning anxious gardeners and orchard keepers. “If it stays cool, then we don’t have to worry,” he said of the maturing fruit crop. Last year was rated as one of the best in five years for peaches and apples, as weather conditions remained steady, preventing fruit trees from maturing too fast and being snipped by late frost. On. Jan. 4 Mr. Wingfield recorded lightning and thunder with 52-mile-an-hour wind gusts and temperatures four degrees warmer, overall, than January 1991. February dawned with robins but they were soon scattered as temperatures were one degree cooler than the February 1991. Lessons in frugality relatives taught me By WALTER DAY I had an Uncle George long ago who made a lot of money and he parted with money reluctantly. I thought at one time he was frugal. That is not the right word to describe old Uncle George, who died long ago. The right words are miser, cheap, or even shyster. I believe “frugal” is someone who is saving, trying to get their money’s worth. Uncle George hoarded his money but mostly he tried to get other people’s money. He ran a farm produce brokerage business and was known far and wide as a shrewd dealer. One day my father gave five acres to my brother and I to raise Great Northern beans. This would be our year’s wages for working on the farm (now that I look at it, tne old man drove a pretty hard bargain himself)- The frost hit early that year and wiped out most of our harvest. I remember watching old Uncle George figure out how much we would get for those beans. It came out to $12 for both of us. But to get the man to give us the money was painfttl. He put it off t until my mother came in (she was waiting in the car) and screamed at him. I did not witness the following event though I wish that I had. A widow woman fanner with a grudge over past dealings came to his mill one day with a big leather whip, caught Uncle Miser out in the open and horsewhipped him for about 100 yards. For miles around there was a celebration, even among his relatives. The point i§ that this is not being frugal but it is cheap or miserly. Now I will explain frugal. We had this old Great Aunt Sara. She used to come and visit for a week or two at a time. She was pleasant to have around and enjoyed a little nip whenever anyone was nipping. She wasted nothing, always finished her drink and always cleaned her plate. How she stayed so skinny we never could figure out. She went to work for an insurance Day By Day company at $5 a week and 30 years later retired at $25 a week and said she had saved something from every paycheck. At the age of 90 she was saving from her Social Security check. One year I had to go to Newark on business and since her apartment wasn’t too far out of the way, I would drop by for a visit. I knew that she liked a little nip. I decided to take her a pint in order that we might have a social drink together and she would have some left for the cupboard. Since she was so careful with her money I was sure she would have no libations in stock. At the same time I bought a pint for myself, to take back to the hotel. Well, I arrived at Aunt Sara’s with the gift, we greeted each other, she thanked me for the gift. She then very carefully put the pint in the cupboard and, closed it. We chatted, I looked at the cupboard, asked about her health and fidgeted. Finally I excused myself. I went to the car, got the other pint, and came back to the apartment. On seeing this pint in my hand Aunt Sara got quickly up, reached into another cupboard and brought two water glasses to the table. We toasted each other’s health a few times and I left empty handed. Now that was frugal. I liked Aunt Sara more than Uncle George. Note: I have received calls regarding the Draft Ross Perot for President: The person to call is Jerry Davison of Winchester, 703-667-4528. (Mr. Day’s opinions are not necessarily those of this newspaper.—Ed.) Actors are featured in final Ki Exchange Actors Dinah PehrsonDay and Ted Pugh will host the final evening of the popular four-part Ki Theatre series “The Exchange” at Ki Theatre, Gay Street, Washington, Va., 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 12. The last evening of “The Exchange,” entitled “The Actor,” will continue the exploration into the relationship between artist and community, and how that relationship affects the work of the artists and the life of their communities. Mrs. Day, an actress and singer well known to Rappahannock audiences, trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, and after graduation was invited to become a member of their production company. In 1985, after performing in many roles in New York City, including the off broadway production of Joe Orton's “The Ruffian On the Stair,” Mrs. Day moved to Rappahannock County. She has since directed Alan Ayckbourn’s “Bedroom Farce,” and performed in roles as diverse as Eleanor in “The Lion In Winter,” Martha in “Strange Snow” and Mary in Ki Theatre’s “The Shepherd’s Play.” She said living and working at local theater in Rappahannock is a doubleedged sword. “In one way, it’s great, because you know they’re going to love yoi) no matter what. It’s great to have that support, but at the same time it’s really scary. You begin to recognize certain people's laughs. ... In some senses it’s like a big, extended family and you want to stimulate people— not just entertain them.” Having worked in New York, said Mrs. Day, the more accepting critical audience in Rappahannock is quite a contrast. “When you live in a small town, people are going to say, even if there are things they didn’t epjoy, ‘Oh, it’s interesting.’ ” Directing “Bedroom Farce," she said, opened her eyes to the amount of work—all of it volunteer— that goes into community productions. “I really had no idea what was involved,” she said. She feels strongly that local theater, and the arts Dinah Pehrson-Day in general, are just as important in tight economic times. “There’s a prevalent and understandable attitude that art is something extra in our lives and not necessarily tied to survival. But it really is ‘nourishment for the soul,’ and in times of duress, to be able to have what art or theater gives you, which is illumination of some kind, it helps us get a little perspective.” Ted Pugh, Mrs. Day’s partner for the evening, has been an actor for over .‘10 years. On Broadway he originated the role of Ozzie Babson in “Irene." He has appeared on the Tonight Show, with Merv Griffin, and on David Frost’s show as half of the comedy team Lawless and Pugh. He teaches, directs and performs with The Actors’ Ensemble of New York and is a member of the Ki Theatre ensemble. Mr. Pugh, who described his own career as “checkered,” he’s done commercials, Broadway plays and a movie, said the responsiveness of small communities to an actor’s work can be “a freedom, and there’s also a trap. At least you know the people are there for all the right reasons. It’s not just that they care about you, but they care about theater. What’s happened to Broadway is that it’s become like Las Vegas. That’s not to say there's nothing good on Broadway, but it’s all about money.” "The audience and the quality of the listening, and the reasons they’re there, really can affect the actor,” he said. “The quality of the listening can be a tangible reality.” He said a Broadway audience is a large crowd in a big room—strangers that will probably never see Ted Pugh each other again. “But something like what’s going on with Ki Theatre is that they aren’t strangers. It means a little more to a community that's supporting a theater." During the evening they will offer scenes and monologues followed by discussion with the audience. One of the most unusual features of this program will be an open rehearsal of a scene from a contemporary play that Mr. Pugh and Mrs. Day have been rehearsing separately. They will join together for the first time before “The Exchange” audience in an unrehearsed performance. By going into the scene unrehearsed, said Mr. Pugh, "it will be really interesting to see what the audience will bring to the room.” In addition to Sunday I night’s “Exchange,” Mr. I Pugh will offer a day-long workshop on the Michael Chekhov approach to performance called “Creating Character" on Saturday, April 11. The workshop will begin Saturday morning from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and continue in the afternoon from 1:30 p.m.3:30 p.m. It will be held at Ki Theatre, Gay Street, Washington, Va. The cost for the workshop is $35 for the general public and $30 for members of Ki Theatre. Enrollr.ent is limited to 17 people. To enroll, call Ki Theatre at 9873167. Advance tickets for “The Aftor" can be purchased at Mountainside Market, Washington, Va. for $5, or by writing Ki Theatre, P.O. Box 203, Washington, Va. 22747. Tickets for workshop participants are $4, and will be $6 at the door. Celtic music concert at The Theatre Saturday Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton will bring a concert of “Celtic Music for Spring” to The Theatre at Washington, Va., at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 4. Advance reservations are recommended for “Celtic Music for Spring.’’General admission tickets are $10; tickets for senior citizens and students are $8. Tickets may be reserved by mail to The Theatre, Box 322, Washington, Va. 22747; checks should be made out to The Theatre at Washington. Tickets will be held at the door. For further information, phone The Theatre at 703675-1263. Their featured instruments will be the Celtic harp, played by Ms. Hampton, and the lute and guitar, played by Barnes. Barnes and Hampton, of Washington, D.C., have been performing and recording music together for more than 14 years, and have been married to each other for over half that time. They began their joint career playing Renaissance court music on two lutes. It was the work of 18th Century Irish composer Turlough O’Carolan that sparked their interest in Celtic music and broadened their instrumental range to include a variety of Celtic harps, the guitar, harp-guitar, cittern and Uillean (Irish) pipes. Barnes’ and Hampton’s annual Christmas programs, “A Celtic Christmas,” which have been part of the prestigious Dumbarton Concert series for 14 years, have been hailed by the Washington Post as “a Washington institution.” They have also performed together at The Folger Shakespeare Library, at the Smithsonian Institution, at many of the Washington Embassy series shows, and at a number of colleges and universities. Photographer talks The Rappahannock Library will host John Trott who will present his slide show, “The Natural World of Greenway,” at 8 p.m. April 3, the latest installment in the First Friday Series. Mr. Trott’s photographs have appeared in Time, the Audubon Magazine, Smithsonian magazine, and in National Geographic publications including “The Wonder of Birds.” The program is free and open to the public. Mr. Trott, currently a contributing photographer for “Bird Watcher’s Digest,” was selected as one of the top 20 bird photographers by the editors of “American Birds.” He has worked as a consultant on a variety of ornithological projects for National Geographic.
