Equalization Board debates assessment on Ben Venue farm By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nrwn Staff Writer The Board of Equalization has been meeting several days a week since early spring hearing from landowners who believe their assessments are too high. Last Wednesday, in a reversal of the usual roles, they heard a case in which the landowners were arguing for their assessment and against an increase proposed by the Board of Equalization. Chairman E. Franklin Warner said, “The Board of Equalization has one responsibility under the statutes of the Commonwealth, to make sure all residents are treated fairly and equitably.” He said they had the power to sustain, decrease or increase the assessment. In the case they were consid ering, they were proposing to increase the assessment on Ben Venue farm from $4.7 million to $7.3 million. The Eastham family, which owns the 2,497-acre parcel, was appearing to argue that the assessment should not be increased. When the professional appraisers finished with the new assessment in See Farm, Page A-3 A fool Board petition is launched By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Susan Parrish of Washington is organizing an effort to have an elected School Board in Rappahannock County. Legislation allowing elected school boards passed in the last session of the General Assembly. A two-step process is required to go from the current method of having School Board members appointed by the Board of Supervisors to having an elected School Board. Mrs. Parrish is circulating petitions to have the question of whether to have an elected School Board placed on the ballot for a vote this November. To qualify for a place on the ballot 10 percent of the electorate or about 350 qualified voters must sign the petitions to hold the referrendum. If the voters then approve the change to an elected School Board, candidates will run for seats on the School Board in 1995, in the same election when the Board of Supervisors is next elected. Mrs. Parrish said the petitions must be turned, in by Aug. 5 to qualify for a referendum this year. The petition drive started on the July 4 holiday. Mrs. Parrish said, "1 thought the Fourth of July was an appropriate date to demonstrate the democratic process." About 100 signatures have been collected so far. Mrs. Parrish said, “I believe in elected school boards. The School Board should be independent of the Board of Supervisors.” She said she hoped the electoral process will involve people who have not been involved in school issues so far. “The people in the county whose kids go to school ought to decide who sits on the board. An elected School Board might reflect parents’ concerns better,” she added. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said she was “not surprised” to learn of a petition for a referrendum on elected school boards starting in the county. “I can understand why people would w’ant an elected School Board. It is part of the pattern followed throughout the country," she said. She added, “I have some reservations about elected school boards with no taxing authority. I hope the people who run have a real desire to see the educational system go forward and don’t use the School Board as a stepping stone to any political advancement.” She said a School Board member has to be “truly interested in the educational system, and politics doesn’t always work hand in hand with the goals you feel are best for the county’s children. ” Sperryville girl killed in wreck By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Ntwa Staff Writer Melissa nrignt, 17, of Sperryville, died July 7 when the car she was driving was hit by a dump truck in the construction zone on U.S. 211 just west of Washington.

Proposed names have been gathered by the county fire and rescue organizations and will be suggested „ at the public hearing. Many right-ofways that serve two or more houses must still be named. The county proposes that most roads be named as roads and those that dead end be named lanes. The supervisors considered giving up on the naming project. "We don't have to have names,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham suggested. County Administrator John McCarthy said that giving addresses as numbers with additional road numbers could be confusing and would still require that all the private right-of-ways be given numbers. Stonewali-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson suggested that mistakes be removed from the list of suggested road names before they are advertised for public hearing. Route 626, the Scrabble Road is listed as Scrapple Road, for example. The supervisors also suggested names for some of the roads that did not yet have suggested names. They also suggested that Library Lane, rather than Old MUi Road be used as the name for the short piece of road that goes from near the Washington fire house to the library. ; The supervisors also learned that Thomas Williams, the current agricultural extension agent, will be leaving the position at the end of July to take a job with the Department of Agriculture in Manassas. The supervisors were concerned that the Extension Service might try to leave the position unfilled, leaving Rappahannock with only a home extension agent. They agreed to lobby hard to see that the position is filled. Col. Bingham suggested that one argument the county could use is that there are on-going projects, such as the agricultural survey, that need to be con- ' See Roads, Page A-3 T Starburst if ■ ■ If V Rappahannock New* Photo by Cindy Mahan Fair weather greeted perhaps the largest crowd ever to observe the an* | nual firewalls display over Avon Hall.

Rape, abduction alleged Charles Allen Brown, 27, of Sperryville, faces charges of rape, lodomy and abduction resulting Tom an incident during the late eve* ling of June 30 and early morning of fuly 1, according to Sheriff John denry Woodward. Woodward said the alleged rape Kcurred off Route 231 in the F.T. Galley outside Sperryville. Brown ind a 16-year-old girl were allegedly irinking on private property there, and Brown raped and soidomized the girl, according to a report filed by Maj. Ed Streapy of the Sheriffs Office.

Alcohol is first drug of choice for Rappahannock teenagers By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N«w« Staff Writer Alcohol is used by more Rappahannock students than any other drug according to a survey of students in sixth through 12th grades. According to the survey using a questionaire developed by Pride Inc of Atlanta, 47.3 percent of the students drink beer, 44.9 percent drink wine coolers and 34.6 percent drink liquor. In general use was higher for older students. Sixty four percent of the seniors and 65.4 percent of the juniors drink beer. Fifty five percent of the seniors and 56.6 percent of the juniors drink wine coolers and 61.1 percent of the seniors and 62.8 percent of the juniors drink liquor. Last year’s ninth graders were almost as likely to drink. Sixty eight percent drink beer, 52.5 percent drink wine coolers and 47.2 percent drink liquor. Tenth graders were somewhat less likely to drink. Fifty percent drink beer, 52.5 percent drink wine coolers, and 39 percent drink liquor. Eighth graders were less likely to drink. Thirty seven percent reported drinking beer, 36.4 percent drank wine coolers and 20 percent drank liquor. Even sixth and seventh graders experienced drinking. Twenty six percent of the sixth graders and 25 percent of seventh graders drink beer. Twenty nine percent of sixth graders and 30 percent of seventh graders drink wine coolers and 15.8 percent of sixth graders and 14.8 percent of seventh graders reported drinking liquor. Most of this drinking takes place • on weekends. For example on the ’ question “When do you use beer?” 3.7 percent of the seniors checked before school, 3.7 percent also checked during school, 11.1 percent checked after school, 13 percent checked week night, and 61.1 percent checked weekend. Students could check more than one answer on this question. Thirty eight percent said they don’t use beer. Seniors reported drinking wine coolers almost exclusively on week ends. None checked before or during school. Almost four percent said after school, 7.4 percent reported drinking them on week nights, and 59.3 percent reported drinking wine coolers on weekends. This is not an every weekend occurence for most, however. Twenty four percent of the seniors reported drinking beer between one and six times a year, another 18.5 percent reported drinking beer between one and two times a month, and another 22.2 percent reported drinking beer between one and seven times a week, but 7.4 percent said they drink beer every day. There were no questions asking students how many drinks they have when they drink. However they were asked about the “effects” of drinking. Forty four percent of the seniors reported feeling “no high” or “little high” from drinking beer. However, 22.3 percent reported getting “very high” or “bombed." Wine coolers were less likely to result in student drinkers feeling high, but 37.8 percent reported feeling “very high” or “bombed” after drinking liquor. Students were also asked where they drink. Again they could check more than one location. Among last year’s seniors drinking beer 25.0 percent drink at home, 7.4 percent drink at school, 20.4 percent said they drink in cars, 40.7 percent drink at friends’ homes, and 42.6 percent drink in other locations. Cigarettes were used by 32.7 percent of students in sixth through 12th grades. Older students were more likely to report using cigarettes. Fifty three percent of the seniors report smoking, 28.3 percent of the juniors, 44.1 percent of 10th graders, 40.3 percent of ninth graders, 27.3 percent of eighth graders, 24.4 percent of seventh graders, and 14 percent of sixth graders. The younger students who smoke do^so mostly on weekends. A significant number of older students report smoking daily and throughout the day. Twenty four percent of seniors report smoking before school, 20.4 percent during school, 24.1 percent after school, 26.9 percent on week nights and 37 percent on weekends. Ninth graders were almost as likely to smoke on weekends; 36 percent reported they had done so. However, 8.3 percent smoke before school, 6.9 percent during school, 19.4 percent after school, 18.9 percent smoke on week nights. Among drugs that are illegal for everyone, marijuana was the most used by Rappahannock students. Ten percent report using marijuana. 28.3 percent of the seniors report smoking marijuana, 15.1 percent of juniors, 13.6 percent of tenth graders, 13.9 percent of ninth graders, 1.6 percent of eighth graders, 3.7 percent of seventh graders, and 1.8 percent of sixth graders. Among seniors, 17 percent reported smoking marijuana between one and six times a year, 3.8 percent between once and twice a month, and 7.5 percent between one and seven times a week. Sixteen percent of the seniors reported feeling “no high” or “little high” when they smoked marijuana. 14.8 percent reported getting “very high” or “stoned.” Students were asked about their use of a variety of other drugs. Two percent reported using cocaine. 4.8 percent used “uppers.” Three percent used “downers.” 4.8 percent report using inhalants. Five percent use hallucinogens, and 7.3 percent report using other drugs. Students report most of this drug use also takes place on weekends. In all cases the senior class accounted for a major portion of the drug users. Nine percent of the seniors reported using cocaine, 13 percent used “uppers,” 9.3 percent used “downers,” 9.3 percent use inhalants, 16.7 percent use hallucinogens, and 19.2 percent use other drugs. The survey was financed through a drug free schools grant. The grant also paid to train leaders who have formed Concerned Citizens Working for Healthy Youth. This group is trying to combat drug and alcohol use among Rappahannock students. Dermatologists offer advice on treatment of summer rashes By SUSAN AYERS HapiMhannoek New> Contributing Writer Now that warm weather is upon us, dermatologists offer advice on how to treat and avoid the rashes commonly associated with the summer and the great outdoors. The American Academy of Dermatology has prepared a list of the most common warm weather rashes and the best methods of treatments. 1. Prickly heat. While prickly heat, or heat rash, is most common in babies, adults can get it too, especially when the weather is hot and humid. The proper medical name for this rash is miliaria. The tiny reddish pimples of prickly heat usually appear on skin folds in the crook of the arm, under the chin on the chest or back, or on the back of the knee. The best cure, say dermatologists, is to stay cool and dry and avoid tight fitting clothing. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly after bathing and dust on a talc-free cornstarch-based body Roads Continued from page A-1 tinu^d. The supervisors decided to postpone for a month taking action on having a scale put in at the landfill on a temporary basis. Mr. McCarthy said that Page and Warren counties -had suggested the three counties join in having a scale put in each county on a temporary basis to weigh the trash that requires landfilling at each of the three counties that are considering joining a regional landfill. The cost for Rappahannock County would be approximately $12,000. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said that was too much money to spend for a temporary scale. He suggested Mr. McCarthy find out what it would cost to have the scale come to Rappahannock last and actually purchase it. Col. Bingham said the county should see if it would be possible to get a much less fancy scale on a temporary basis similar to those the state police move from place to place to weigh trucks. Mr. McCarthy said the idea was to And out how much trash could be expected from each jurisdiction to try to determine the cost of operating a joint landfill. He said the county could not take part and simply choose a number to guarantee for Rappahannock’s share. The supervisors voted to set a fee of $25 for the tradesmens’ certificates. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Massie voted against this fee. power before dressing. 2. Poison ivy. Called “the scourge of the great outdoors”, poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac affects 10 to 60 million Americans each year. It is the single most common cause of allergic reactions in this country. A sticky substance found in the leaves and stem of these plants sticks to clothing, gardening tools, sports equipment and even family pets, causing an allergic rash to those who then come in contact with the object. The best treatment, if exposed, is to immediately wash all equipment (and yourself) with running water which neutralizes the sticky sap and prevents it from spreading. Avoidance is the best cure but if you come down with the rash, which sometimes resembles insect bites, simple over-the-counter preparations will offer some relief. The rash should clear up in about 1620 days. 3. Hives. Hot weather, exercise, stress and certain foods are the most common causes of hives. Raised bumps and large patches of red skin around them, followed by itching, are common symptoms of hives. This immediate reaction can last as long as four hours and take days to completely calm down. The best way to avoid hives is to avoid whatever triggers them. Dermatologists will sometimes prescribe antihistamines to bring this uncomfortable condition under control. 4. Ticks, scabies and other bugs. Hikers and campers should wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to avoid Lyme disease, carried by the deer tick. This tick is most common in wooded areas and meadows. Ticks also transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

Farm Continued from page A-1 the county, Ben Venue farm was assessed at $5.5 million. The Eastham family appealed to the Board of Assessors and their assessment was lowered to $4.7 million. The main difference between the original assessment and the one after the assessment hoard had changed it, was a lower rate for 1,680 acres of woods. The woodland had originally been assessed at $2,000 per acre. The Easthams brought statements from forestry experts reporting that it would be 20 to 25 years before the woods would yield much marketable timber. The assessment on the woods was lowered to $1,500 per acre. Mr. Warner reported that in considering requests by other landowners, the Equalization Board had heard frequent complaints that other properties were assessed higher than Ben Venue. He said the number of such remarks caused them to take a look at the assessment on Ben Venue. The Equalization Board proposed to increase the assessment on the wood land to $2,500 per acre, to raise the assessment on pasture land from, $2,000 to $8,000 per acre, to increase the assessment on 50 acres classified as tillable from $1,000 to $8,000 per acre, and to increase tht; assessment on 1(H) acres labeled as "other” from $1,000 per acre to $2,(KM) per acre. Lindsey Eastham, presenting his family’s case, said that the 50 acres labeled “tillable" is not tillable.

The 100 acres labeled "other,” he said, is swamp land that cannot be used. His main argument was that the property should not be assessed at the same rate per acre as smaller parcels of land. He said other large parcels are not assessed as high as the proposed assessment for Ben Venue. Board member Eileen Day said, “You have a point on the size of the tract, but we couldn’t just consider that.” She noted that the property is at all four corners of the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 729 and that it is in the part of county where land is most valuable, “on the Warrenton side of Washington.” Member John Ralph said, “1 hope you don't think we singled you out. It was brought to us on occasions. We thought with so many people telling us to look at Ben Venue, maybe it was something we should look at.” The board agreed to continue the hearing and to collect more information from the landowners. “We will do our level best to be fair and equitable,” Mr. Warner said. The Equalization Board heard three other appeals last Wednesday. In all cases they said they would consider the requests. The Board of Supervisors Monday agreed to advertise to have the work of the Equalization Board end. Landowners will have until Aug. 28 to appeal their assessments. The board will have until Sept. 15 to act on all appeals. Sperryville fee deficit ! puts WSA in red for '92 The Water and Sewer Authority at its meeting last week learned that more had been spent in the last year on the operation of the Sperryville sewer plant than was collected in fees. The budget for the past year was based on a rate of $15.50 per month for each Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EI)II). This was an increase from the previous rate of $14.10 per KDIJ. After setting the rate, authority members learned that it could not raise the rates without a public hearing. They then advertised the rate in crease and waited the required time before holding the public hearing. This meant that half of the year went by before the rate increase could take effect. As a result the authority spent $51,4(52 during the 1991-92 fiscal year while collecting about $48,295. Fortunately less is owed in accounts receivable, but the cash on hand has been drawn down sharply. The proposed $50,871 budget for the 1992-92 fiscal year should produce a surplus of $1,950 to be applied to plant depreciation, for replacing equipment as it becomes broken.

The Audit Bureau Elect the School Board We are heartened by the news that Washington resident ^ Susan Parrish is organizing an effort to place a referendum r: for an elected School Board on the ballot in November. To make the ballot, 10 percent, or about 350 of the n" county’s eligible voters, must sign a petition by Aug. 5. If the * referendum is approved, the first election for School Board members would be in 1995. Last year, Virginia belatedly joined the other 49 states ir passing legislation to allow localities to elect their school ~ boards, with the authority of a referendum passed by its "voters. "J Elected school boards are an idea whose time is way past due, as evidenced by the fact that Virginia is the last state in the nation to approve them. School board members should be ^elected on their own merits, not subject to the whims of the - “ county’s supervisors or a selection committee. We hasten to add that there is no evidence that the county’s Board of Supervisors has wielded influence, undue * or otherwise, on the local School Board. In fact, during recent years the supervisors and the School Board have enjoyed a _good relationship. Even the cuts necessary in this recessionary time have been accomplished with a healthy debate and minimum of acrimony on either side. However, we also feel that the county’s voters should have the choice about whether our School Board is elected or appointed. If the majority is happy with the present arrangement, so be it. If they feel an elected board is better, they will make that choice. One final note. We agree with School Board Chairman Beverly Massie that an elected board without taxing authority is not really autonomous. Without authority to levy the tax necessary to fund its budget, even an elected board is still beholden to the Board of Supervisors. There is a rising clamor among local governments for the General Assembly to address the present limited taxing authority of cities, counties and towns. That problem will likely be addressed in the next few years. Taxing authority for school boards would be one method to raise additional revenue. Rappahannock Heritage An inviting scene awaits bathers on a hot day in Rock Mills. etters to the Editor mm m “#*. Blessed by Wakefield , To the Editor: In the two years that I have lived in Virginia, I have been blessed by the opportunity to send one of my children to the Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. In terms of academic excellence, friendly, family-like social atmosphere, athletic programs, and personal enrichment Wakefield Country Day School is a parent’s dream-eome-true. G.K. Chesterton once remarked that 50 percent of education is the atmosphere. If the academic atmosphere is proper, dignified, and serious, learning occurs naturally. At Wakefield the learning atmosphere is enhanced by a required dress code, by the prevalence of civility and decorum, and by an attitude of respect and obedience to teachers and supe/riors. At Wakefield teachers do not dilute or “dumb down” the subject matter. Students are required to learn the subject in its integrity, to work conscientiously, and to practice the essential academic habits of self-discipline, giving a total effort, and constant application. The great thing about this school is its concentration on the basics, the fundamental, essential tools of learning. Here a student will learn Latin and grammar, composition and vocabulary, modem languages and history, science and mathematics. Although Wakefield instills in its students the essential categories and first principles of learning, it does not ignore the creative, imaginative side of education. Creative writing, skits and plays, medieval feasts and Christmas celebrations that are reminiscent of “merry old England” cheer and warm the heart. The excellence at Wakefield consists in the wonderful balance of work and play, discipline and imagination, the stability of a family and the excitement of trips and travel opportunities. Chess tournaments, Latin competition (certamen) with other schools, trips to Williamsburg, and ski weekends provide additional spice and savor to overcome the routine of learning. Above all, Wakefield is a school that satisfies the deepest parental instincts. Students willJRnd themselves in the company of teachers who love children and value their individuality. Parents feel assured that their children will learn in an environment that upholds traditional Christian values and honors the greatness of Western civilization and the classics, “the best that has been thought and said,” to use Matthew Arnold’s famous phrase. Sloth, disobedience, and disrespect will not be tolerated, and parents will not have to worry about such evils as sex education corrupting their children or secular humanism subverting the basic teachings of Christian families. In short, I wish more people in Virginia and throughout the country knew of this school and its greatness. It is a model and a work of genius. In the current political debates about educational reform, someone in Washington should make a personal visit to Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. MITCHELL KALPAKGIAN Associate Professor of English Volunteers deserve special thanks To the Editor: I think both Chris Bird and Ray Lester deserve special recognition for their volunteer time and help given to the Rappahannock Library. Chris and Ray donated both their time and horses for a splendid horse drawn wagon shuttle service during the 4th of July “book sale” at the Rappahannock Library. Sam and Mac McDermott along with Mimi Cantwell and Grace Sims deserve a lot of recognition for their many hours of volunteer time spent sorting and pricing books for the sale. Thanks also to Bruce Wetteroth for his wooden signs, and a big thanks to all of the volunteers too numerous to mention that sold books all day, or helped out this past Saturday. The book sale was a huge success thanks to all the volunteers and people in the community that helped out, or gave books for the sale. NICKI MCGUIRE LYNCH Director of the Rappahannock Library Walter Day wrong?? To the Editor: I would like to correct some information which was conveyed in the article “Day By Day” written by Walter Day (my Dad) in last week’s paper (7/2/92). In his essay, Pop gave credit (implicitly) to Englebert Humperdink as the writer of the line “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.” That line is from the song “Me and Bobby McGee” which was written by Kris Kristofferson. Many people may remember Janis Joplin as the performer who made the song a hit. It was news to me that Englebert Humperdink (he stole the name) recorded a version of the song. Oh yes, the opinions expressed by my dad do not necessarily reflect those of his offspring, especially where the presidential elections are concerned. No doubt my republican friends will be dismayed by my opinion that there is only one candidate less desirable than Ross Perot. VINCENT L. DAY Washington Thanks from Auxiliary To the Editor: The Washington Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank all the people who made a donation of baked goods or money for the 4th of July. The Auxiliary has paid the balance of $10,800 that was due on the firehouse - this brings the total to $23,304.51, that they have paid on the building. They have purchased chairs, tables, doors and paid a note on a vehicle, $10,808.55. Your donations to the thrift shop, time and money has made this possible and the Auxiliary would like to thank you very much. FRANCES A. FOSTER Treasurer Washington Ladies Auxiliary Thanks from fire department To the Editor: The Washington Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank each and every business, organization, and individual who participated in or supported the 4th of July celebration in Washington. Without the assistance of each and every one of you, the Fire Department and the Town of Washington could not present the activities that make this celebration of our independence the best this side of the Blue Ridge. If you/have ideas,for activities that would-make next year a better celebration, please drop a note to the Fire Department and we will attempt to incorporate your ideas. Thank you again for your help and we look forward to seeing you again next year for a happy and exciting Fourth of July! ELLEN MANSON Washington 20 YEARS AGO July 13,1972 Amis8ville Post Office will move to a new location in the fall, in fact will almost return to its original home. As of October 1, the U.S. Postal Service will lease the building from Mrs. Margaret W. Leonard which now houses Lullwater Nursery and Gift Shop. The post office was originally in the larger portion of that building. The present post office location in Amissville will be taken for the dual laning of Route 211 through Amissville and the property does not contain land enough to move back. Mrs. Leonard plans to discontinue operating the Gift Shop as soon as possible and will move the Nursery and Garden Center to her farm on the Viewtown road, Route 642, a mile south of Amissville. According to Mrs. Leonard she will take inventory and plan a close out sale as soon as arrangements can be completed. “I will be offering many excellent bargains to the community,” she said. Saturday, three girls from Rappahannock participated in an All-Comers track and field meet held in Winchester. The girls were running in the 14-15 age group against competition from Virginia and Maryland. Leverene Summers and Ruby Faye Dunn, both of Washington and both inexperienced in track, made up for a total of six wins. Leverene came in first in the 100-yard dash and second in the 50-yard dash and the 220-yard dash.

Miss Linda Roberts Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Smith of North Garden, and niece of Brue Wood of Flint Hill, will perform a voice recital on Tuesday, July 18, at 8 p.m. in Hughes Auditorium, Ohio State University, School of Music. This is her graduating recital for a MA Degree in Vocal Peda gogy. Upon completion of her MA Degree at the end of July, Miss Smith will return to Virginia and will teach in the Buckingham County School System. 10 YEARS AGO July 15, 1982 Rappahannock County continues to post the highest unemployment rate in the fivecounty Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, according to statistics for May released by the Virginia Employment Commission. For May, the unemployment rate in Rappahannock was 12 percent with 307 idle out of a work force of 2,563. By comparison, the unemployment rates in other juridsdictions for the same month were 7.1 percent in Culpeper, 7.0 percent in Orange, 7.5 percent in Madison and 4.9 percent in Fauquier. The overall unemployment rate for the district was 7.1 percent for the period, equal to the statewide rate and below the national rate of 9.1 percent. The Rappahannock school board on Tuesday voted unanimously to donate necessary right-of-way and in return, the Virginia Department of Highways will allocate $100,000 for construction of two turn lanes on Route 211 in front of the county high school. “And I’ll try to sneak a right turn lane into the elementary school (where the gravel portion of the bus garage parking lot is now),” resident highway engineer Don Askew told the board members at the July 13 session. Askew gave credit for approval of the construction project to Piedmont District supervisor Charles Estes. “Thanks to him, we have $100,000 and as tight as things are, they don’t give that amount of money away easily.” The resident engineer explained that at his request Estes and supervisor chairman Dick Latham had appeared at the highway department's pre-allocation hearing in Culpeepr some months ago to plead for funds to four-lane Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville, a request that was denied. “I’d be surprised if we get it in the next eight or ten years,” Askew added.

Few successful Va. candidates will oppose capital punishment By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newa Special Writer Since taking office in January of 1990, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has been confronted with some of the most widely publicized capital punishment cases in the state’s history. Even his worst critics would probably have to admit that Wilder has handled the matter as well as anyone could have considering it is the only literal life or death issue that comes before a governor. Generally, Wilder’s attitude has been to accept the judgement of the jury that meted out the death sentence. Just recently he declined to intervene in the case of Roger Coleman whose attorneys and supporters sought to plant doubts about his guilt in a wave of worldwide publicity. The governor did allow Coleman to take an 11th hour state police administered polygraph examination which examiners said he failed. That was enough to convice most of the public of his guilt, though some skeptics argued the terrible stress Coleman was under could have skewed the results. In one notable instance, Wilder commuted the death sentence of Joseph Giarratano to life in prison. He did so on grounds he was not totally convinced of Giarratano’s guilt. Wilder acted after receiving thousands of calls and letters asking him to stop the execution. Polls taken nationally show ma Virginia Through Both Barrels jority support for the death penalty. And one suspects that any poll taken among Virginians would show even stronger support for capital punishment which is a major reason that you can find few holders of major office in the state who don’t back the death penalty. Consider the fact that while many national Democrats decry capital punishment as outmoded and barbaric, Wilder endorsed it in both of his statewide campaigns and has intervened just once to stop its application. Attorney General Mary Sue Terry has consistently taken a hard pro-capital punishment stand that has sometimes drawn criticism from liberal groups that normally support Democrats. Ms. Terry argued publicly against leniency for Giarratano and led the fight to prevent courts from delaying or stopping the execution. Then last week in what many considered an unusual move she ordered aids to call a background only news briefing to help head off an intense sympathy campaign for convicted murdered Edward B. Fitzgerald who is scheduled to die in the state’s electric chair on July 23. The briefing by Deputy Attorney General Stephen Rosenthal and Chief of Staff. Deborah Love-Bryant went into detail about the 1980 murder when Fitzgerald raped a woman in a Richmond suburb then stabbed her 184 times. A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union called the briefing “a pep rally for an execution.” But VCU political scientist Robert Holsworth said Ms. Terry was apparently trying to get out front on the matter before “he (Fitzgerald) becomes the next death penalty poster child. ” Ms. Terry is obviously not only doing her job of defending the state, but is also attuned to the political reality that no anti-death penalty candidate could win a statewide race in Virginia. In fact, few successful candidates for any offices of consequence this year or next year in the state will be capital punishment opponents. And because of that, Virginia’s electric chair will continue to be put to use several times a year. (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 7th District Rep. George Allen. Opinions expressed are his own.) High Court's land-use decision too narrow to fulfill either side South Carolina case keyed on property rights By WILLIAM HANLON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Obscured to the general public by the controversy surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court’s abortion decision last week, a High Court landuse ruling released the same day was read with interest by many Northern Virginia public officials, landowners and their attorneys. The decision in the case, Lucas vs. South Carolina, like the decision in the Pennsylvania abortion case, failed to wholly satisfy partisans on either side of the issue involved. “We think it’s a very narrow decision that will have a very limited impact on what local government in the PEC region has been trying to do in terms of land-use policy,” said Bob Dennis, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council. At issue in Lucas was whether a South Carolina landowner was entitled to compensation from the state for coastal land he bought for $1 million to develop, but which was rendered undevelopable by the state Beachfront Management Act. The case, which many landowners’ rights activists had expected to result in a clear-cut and precedentsetting victory for their side, was decided by the High Court. In a 7-2 vote, the justices said the government must pay compensation to landowners who are deprived of all economic use of property so long as the use is not considered a nuisance under local common law. The court remanded the case to South Carolina, where the court that originally heard the case and awarded the landowner $1.23 million is to decide whether the single-family-home development planned by the landowner is a nuisance under South Carolina law. If the South Carolina court decides the use is a nuisance, then there is no taking of property by the state and the land owner will receive nothing; if it does not, the state will have to pay him $1.23 million. Environmentalists were quick to note that the decision requires compensation from the government only where there is a taking of property rights and that the decision says a taking occurs only where a landowner loses all economic uses of his property, which those on both sides agree is rare. “I was quite pleased that the thority of government to regulate the use of land both to prevent harm and to promote public benefit.” Land-use attorney J. Randall Minchew of the Loudoun office of Hazel, Thomas, Fiske, Beckhorne & Hanes, agreed that “the historic preservation movement and other legitimate forces favoring restrictions on the use of land need not fear Lucas.” But he stressed that landowners’ rights will now have to be considered more carefully by land ‘We think it’s a very narrow decision that will have a very limited impact on what local government in the PEC region has been trying to do in terms of land-use policy. ’ — Bob Dennis President, Piedmont Environmental Council court did not expand the definitions of takings to include regulations,” said Josephine DeGive, also of the PEC “The decision is a very narrow one and should have no effect on ordinary environmental and land-use measures,” said John Echeverria of the National Audubon Society last week. And the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which is headed by Loudoun landowner J. Jackson Walter, released a statement that the decision “represents a significant defeat for those who predicted that the court would announce a major enlargement of property rights and would substantially curtail state regulatory powers.” The National Trust statement continued, “State and local governments should be reassured by the court’s recognition of the broad au use regulators. “I’m fairly sure that some nogrowth/limited growth/preservation forces will call Lucas a defeat for the property rights movement because the (court) had a chance to find a taking and chose not to do so. However, I think that Lucas clearly is a landowners’ victory. “The real upshot of Lucas is that local governments will need to think and scrutinize their proposed regulations more pre-enactment and consider if the proposed regulations could deprive an affected landowner of‘all economically viable use.’” Minchew said that downzonings such as the controversial one along the Route 28 Corridor in Fairfax County two years ago would probably be unaffected by the decision since they limited but did not curtail the development rights of landowners.

The clinical phase of the program began July 2. should make local land-use regulators think twice about a downzoning that could leave a landowner with rights only to develop in a way the market will not allow. State officials say the Supreme Court ruling should not affect state environmental regulations such as the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and the Tidal Wetlands Act, which place some restrictions on property to control erosion and preserve water quality. But when future environmental laws are drawn up, legislators will have to keep property owners more in mind, said Woodrow Turner, a Leesburg attorney who represents Virginians for Property Rights, which mobilized late last year over the proposed historic designation of land in the Brandy Station battlefield site in Fauquier and Culpeper counties. In that way the decision will, he said, “definitely affect Virginia property rights.” “It will ensure that government agencies that impact propertyowners’ rights will be more cognizant of the potential costs to government if it goes too far.” Some environmentalists too said they think that increased recognition might improve environmental regulations. Jean Brown, a director of the Piedmont Environmental Council who unsuccessfully challenged Linda Rollins for the 33rd District House of Delegates seat last fall, said, “While I’m disappointed the case didn’t go more our (environmentalists’) way, I’m glad that it puts more of a burden on state and local government to tighten up regulations.” Peggy Maio, Loudoun represen tative of the PEC, said the case was not a landmark because it was decided so narrowly, but that it might return the debate on the issue from the extremes of no government regulation and total government regulation of land to “more reasonable parameters.” This will have some impact on the debate going on now in Loudoun, especially with the Planning Commission reworking the zoning ordinance ... and the county deals with the tension driving the debate now — between responsible government overseers and individual landowners who still labor under the high expectations of the ’80s that they will be able to make a big profit from their land.” (Editor’s note: Staff writer Tom Arundel contributed to this report.)

Cameras, tape recorders win judgment By JEFF NELSON ; and JOHN RATLIFF Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer* ' WARRENTON — Judges throughout the 20th Circuit gave the go ahead to the law passed by the Virginia General Assembly that allows cameras in the courtroom. However, there is some disagreement as to the new law’s effectiveness. The law allows newspaper photographers and television cameramen into the courtrooms to photograph and videotape the proceedings. Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson, who presides in Rappahannock County, indicated that he was in support of open press coverage of judicial events, but with reservations about admitting cameras fend tape recorders. ; “The press should be encouraged to cover judicial matters,” Robertson said. “I have always had an open door for the press concerning judicial matters, and I feel strongly that a viable and free press is important to a free and open society.” However, Robertson also expressed concerns that the law might produce complications. “I do fear the law may have an adverse effect on the courts and I fear that material may be manipulated in unfavorable ways,” Robertson said. Robertson went on to explain his reservations that the mere mechanics of getting cameras and equipment into the courtroom may cause complications. On the other hand, two Circuit Court judges in Leesburg, also in the 20th, gave their stamp of approval last week to the use of cameras in their courtrooms. Judges Thomas Horne and James Chamblin, in separate meetings with representatives of the media, said they welcome the new development. “I’m looking forward to this. I think it will work well,” Horne told media representatives. Under the guidelines set by Judge Horne, photographers will be stationed in the balcony and next to the bench in his courtroom in the 19th-century courthouse in Leesburg. Horne asked for 24 hours’ notice from media representatives that photographers or tape recorders will appear at a specific trial. Judge Chamblin also asked for 24 hours’ notice from photographers and designated the back of his courtroom for the cameras. Unlike his Loudoun Circuit Court counterparts, Judge Robertson added that he will mandate a prior notice of 10 days before the motions day if the media desires to cover a specific Case. “I will require that interested media members file a notice 10 days prior to the motions day for the trial and that all involved members of the case should be contacted,” Robertson said. The law also allows radio stations to record trials for later airing. Robertson also feels that the limitations on coverage may pose problems in implementing of the law. The law is specific about what newspapers may not print, and television may not broadcast. Photo coverage of adoption cases, juvenile cases, divorce and child-custody cases, sex crimes and cases involving trade secrets are all prohibited. Photographers are also banned from taking pictures of police infor manta, minors, undercover agents, victims and families of victims of sex crimes. No photographs of jury members are allowed. Only one newspaper photographer will be allowed in any trial at a time. Two television cameras are allowed at a time. These restrictions means that newspapers will organize photo pools so that photos can be shared. The first significant case in the area that photographers and television cameras are expected to capture will not be presided over by a 20th Circuit judge, however. The retrial of William Douglas Carter, convicted in 1988 of shooting his wife, will begin July 13 in Leesburg under Henrico County Judge James Kulp. Save grass clippings for use in compost pile BLACKSBURG — This year’s rains made most lawns grow so fast that you could almost see them get taller. That means more mowing and more grass clippings. “Save those clippings and put them in use in a compost pile,” said David Chalmers, Cooperative Extension specialist in turf at Virginia Tech. “Besides being a good source of organic matter for gardens and flower beds, composting is an excellent way to dispose of garden debris, leaves, and similar plant materials to reduce the amount going into the landfill.” The composting pile should be 703/675-3338 Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space!

Chalmers said, “A simple composting method is to alternate fourto-six-inch layers of plant matter, such as leaves and grass, with two to four inches of good garden soil. Add manure to the soil layer if it is available and sprinkle commercial fertilizer on each layer of plant matter to hasten decomposition. “Use a cupful of fertilizer with a 1-1-1 ratio per 10 square feet. The compost pile’s top layer should be soil and should form a basin to hold water. Then water each layer of organic matter before adding the soil layer,” he said.

Music critics have given high praise to their performances across the country and around the world, said a RAAC spokesperson. California has been described as “instrumental fireworks, driving bluegrass at its finest, instrumental excellence, jaw-dropping amazing, most delightfully buoyant, technically accomplished music, in a class by themselves, vocals first rate, production values excellent, these guys bum it down, instrumental peerless work, boggling, it doesn’t get much crisper, stunning performers,” the spokerperson added. California is Byron Berline, three-time national champion, one of the most sought-after session fiddlers, whose professional career reads like a who is in the music business. Dan Crary, a premier traditional guitarist, recognized nationally and internationally as one of the founders of the “flatpicking” style of lead guitar work. John Hickman is legendary as one of the great masters of the banjo whose personal appearances have taken him on tours throughout the U.S. and 15 countries abroad. Steve Spurgin is a hit song writer, vocalist and bass player, whose singing is warm, polished, genuine and professional. John Moore adds expert mandolin, guitar and vocals and has a growing reputation as one of the hot new talents to emerge from southern California. But the whole of California is so much greater that the sum of these performing partners. Individually these artists are masters of their chosen instruments. Collectively, they are ambassadors of a traditional music form throughout this country and around the world. Their music begins with the roots of country and bluegrass and expands on these traditions to create an original and dynamic sound. In 1975 Berline formed a new band after the break up of Country Gazaette. Berline and Sundance in eluded, among others, guitarist, Crary and bapjo player, Hickman, Berline continued collaborating with Crary and Hickman and in 1978 a Japanese promoter offered him a two week tour but only had three air fares. Berline invited his two other partners and Berline, Crary and Hickman, a new format bluegrass trio was bom. The trio toured the concert and festival circuit through* out the ’70s and ’80s. In 1988 Steve Spurgin joined the group bringing with him his catalog of original songs, warm, polished vocals and driving bass. Their first recording together, Now They Are Four, met with great critical acclaim. In 1990 they stepped into the traditional five piece format and added John Moore playing guitar and mandolin as well as another strong vocal. As the band members were added, it became apparent that a new masthead was necessary, and California took flight. With all but Steve now living in Southern California, the moniker seemed appropriate. Throughout their metamorphoses, these musicians have been true representatives of America’s bluegrass and traditional music. The band has been influential in introducing this genre at festivals and concerts in the South Pacific and in North Africa for the USIS. The Rappahannock Association For the Arts and Community (RAAC) is very proud to bring you this musical treat as the first of a series of four concerts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26 at The Theatre at Washington, Va.

Ki players take AIDS message to Africa Julie Portman, Paul Reisler use storytelling talents to communicate By JULIE PORTMAN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Paul Reisler and I have just returned from a month long tour in East Africa, where we were performing and teaching in Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi under the sponsorship of USIA (United States Information Agency). It all started last fall when the American Cultural Affairs Offices in Malawi cabled USIA in Washington, D.C., requesting artists with expertise in storytelling, theatre and music. Their idea was to use the skills of American professional performers to help develop low budget dramas that communicate information on AIDS. It is estimated that 26 percent of the people living in cities in Malawi are HIV positive. USIA in Washington was familiar with Ki Theatre’s work and contacted us. We said yes. Our resumes were cabled. The Cultural Affairs Offices in two neighboring countries - Tanzania and Kenya - requested workshops and performances. And the Ki Theatre duo — Portman and Reisler — was off to Africa. There are photographs and magnificent testimonies to the great beauty of the Rift Valley which runs from northwestern Ethiopia through Kenya, western Tanzania curving into Mozambique near the borders of Malawi. It is a region of volcanic highlands, intricate ' faulting and numerous lakes along the valley floor, creating one of the most diverse living spaces on the earth for plant and animal and human life. This was the geographic and the cultural cradle for our travels and our work in Africa. We were sent .to Africa as “Cultural Affairs Specialists.” I wasn’t sure what that meant when we left the States. Now I can tell you. It means that you are a detective and an activist. You need the instinct and the skills to approach each country, each workshop, and every performing situation with few expectations and very little structure. Then, at the right moment, you must be willing to leap into the center of action and begin. In a workshop, there might be 25 actors, musicians, dancers and writers. Everyone understands English. But this isn’t the real language that we will inspire our work together. Paul and I begin by sharing some stories, some music. No one has seen or heard a hammer dulcimer before. There are many questions. Then Kenyan or Tanzanian artists recite a poem, play music, share an old folktale. The entire experience becomes a prolonged greeting as we search for the place our imaginations can meet. After some time, there is a spark of recognition and we begin playing together. In each country, there was nothing our hosts enjoyed more than having all of us perform together.-In Tanzania, a diverse group of artists had adapted an old folktale to create a play. They asked me to play the role of the wise aunt at the weddine ceremony, encouravim? me to add a few satirical comments about the honor of being the bridegroom’s second wife. (Traditionally, African men have multiple wives. Women don’t have multiple husbands, I had no difficulty adding satirical lines). Paul muted his hammer dulcimer and slid right in beside the musicians playing marimba, shaker and drums. After two days of rehearsal we performed together for an audience of 200 people in an open courtyard. The stone patio was covered with burlap, the doors behind us with an old tarp, several flood lights lashed to nearby trees. The audience sat on borrowed chairs sinking into several inches of sand in the unfinished courtyard. And there was magic that night under the stars in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The same evening, Paul and I performed “Katie Malone,” a one-act play based on the life and marriage of my mother. In fact, we performed “Katie Malone” in each country we visited. We were completely surprised by the warm enthusiasm of the audiences. USIA officials in Washington, D.C. had suggested that a play like “Katie” might be too culturally specific and recommended traditional folktales and music to cross cultural borders more easily. Well, of all the performances pieces we did, “Katie” was the favorite and seemed to spark surprising conversations everywhere. We performed in Nairobi, Kenya, at the French Cultural Center where there is a small 150-seat theatre. It was packed with an audience that was more than 96 percent Kenyan. After the performance, a young Kenyan woman spoke. ‘Tonight for the first time I have thought of my mother as a person. I have only known her as the wife of my father. ” After that same performance a short, stocky man with sparkling eyes came back stage. “Katie Malone” has numerous references to my entire family. Referring to the play our visitor said that he knew my brother Barry from the days when Barry had studied to be a Jesuit priest. This man, I learned was a Jesuit psychia Photos Courtesy of Ki Theater Students at Nairobi Theatre Academy pose with Julie Portman and Paul Reisler. wiov rui^ciu u n^iouuu pi fncnu^ living ill I'ictllUUl where he is building a hospital for infants with AIDS who have been abandoned on the city streets. “Dag,” as he is affectionately called, returned the following night for a second performance, bringing with him several carloads of nuns and priests. Nairobi was our port of entry into Africa. It is a young, modem city and the home of one of Africa’s only professional theatre schools - The Nairobi Theatre Academy. We gave a week long workshop for the students there. Our residency ran concurrently with the first All Africa Theatre Conference. We saw performances by Academy students and delegates from more than 12 countries. Their work was unabashedly robust and high spirited. For performers and audiences alike, theatre is a celebration of community. As we worked behind the scenes with artists in each Country, Paul and I were amazed by the democratic process used to create a production. Everyone had an opinion and expressed it. All the artists had gtt^t patience with this process and each other. We had spent 10 days In Kenya and another four in Tanzania. Our journey was at the mid-point. We would spend our final two weeks in Malawi: first in the capital, Lilongwe, working on the AID’s drama; and then in Blantrye, with a group of actors. Suddenly, I realized how tangibly excited I felt as we met more and more artists, teachers and students. Perhaps for the first time in my career in theatre, I was witnessing a process of how theatre gets bom as an independent art form. Paul and I were working with young artists who were not creating theatre from a bedrock of traditional western or asian theatre. They were instead writing their own plays in their own languages and grappling with the challenges of how to create present and bring a new theatre to their own people in the cities and the villages. We were witnessing how stories and drama get separated from village rituals and ceremonies and carry with them all the rich inspiration of drumming, dancing, singing. We were introduced to a totally new aspect of contemporary African Theatre when we arrived in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe. An American who is a consultant for AED (American Education for Development) had arranged a five-day workshop'. He had assembled a full array of resource people including a team of Malawian officials from the Health and Education Ministry, news writers and broadcasters from Malawi’s Public Broadcasting Corp., The Health Ministry Band, a British woman who is a puppeteer, two students from Malawi’s Chancellor University, a visiting Fulbright Professor in Ethomusicology from the University of Indiana, and Paul and I. Our task was to create a low budget puppet show on AIDS Prevention that be performed the following week in a soccer field for several thousand people and thereafter become part of the touring repertoire of the Malawian Health Ministry Band. For the first time since we had started this tour, Paul and I knew we were in trouble. All the officials in the workshop were dressed in suits and ties. There were school desks and lesson books to write notes. The Health Ministry Band was there - four young women Members of the audience in Lilongwe, Malawi watch an AIDS prevention puppet play. vocalists dressed in suits and skirts and ties like the Salvation Army, and the band master, Mr. Kasonga, a health ministry officer turned musician. He plays electric guitar, trains the vocalists and writes songs and skits which carry important health information to the villages: family planning, spacing your children, basic hygiene, disease prevention for malaria, cholera, typhoid and no w AIDS. I remember feeling a mixture of relief and complete frustration. A consultant was in charge and not artists. After two days of mostly talking we got down to the necessity of a basic script. The band master had written a story patterned after an old tale. It began: “In the beginning, there was? a great King named Boki who was respected and loved by all. King Boki said:” The story stopped. Everything that followed was about AIDS, ways of contracting the virus and ways to prevent spreading it. Poor King Boki had disappeared ' under the weight of facts and information that Mr. Kasonga felt compelled to communicate immediately. The consultant asked me what I thought. I told him that we loved the beginning and asked if there was some way to develop the story so that (the information about AIDS became part of the story line? The officials agreed that a good story would help people to remember the right information. Everyone got to work, pulling chairs into a circle and moving around that circle in a democratic process that began to shape a story about the origin of the world and how disease and the incurable virus called AIDS was bom and became a plague dangerous to humans. r Day by Coon By CARL COON Sam Cliffton and his bride Kathy had a good wedding reception at the Gottlieb’s place a few weeks ago. A bunch of mostly tow-headed kids were rattling around, making noise and getting underfoot, but that’s what we’ve come to expect at these occasions. Young Ted Day, armed with his usual mischievous twinkle, had a silver-painted helmet on and was going around whacking his peers with a more or less imaginary sword. A nicely dressed lady whom I hadn’t seen before turned to me and asked, “Is he a knight?” “No ma’am,” I replied, "He is a Day.” Well, that caused a bit of confusion, but we straightened it out, and talked about other things, so I guess I have to give Ted some credit as an icebreaker. There always seem to be a lot of Walter Day’s grandchildren around these days. (It’s Walter’s column so he gets front billing, but in all fairness I should mention that Eileen Day shares responsibility for this population explosion). Somehow that reminds me of a brief visit Jane and I made to Swaziland last February, mostly because it was on the way to another place we wanted to get to. While there I immersed myself in an ultrabrief, you might say instant course in Swazi politics. It may be my informants exaggerated, or that I have an exaggerated recollection of what they told me, but anyway, I got the impression that in that little kingdom, which is really not more than a couple or so counties out our way, the King is literally the father of his people, or most of them. He’ll have a hundred or more wives in the course of his kingship, and thousands of kids. They have a complicated system involving the merit principle for deciding which of the late King’s thousands of offspring will succeed him. Pretty democratic, given the demographics. If Walter’s grandchildren continue to populate this county as rabbitly as he and his kids did, maybe we’ll come to something like that here. Or maybe I’m just spewing sour grapes; I only have 10 grandchildren; and only 40 percent of them live here. By the way, I’m a firm believer in population control as at least half the answer to most of the problems on the planet.

GROGAN RapfMhannock Newi Contrtbutinf Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met for a luncheon meeting at the home of Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear Jr. in Madison on Saturday, June 14. Regent Mrs. Thomas L. Eastham opened the business meeting with welcoming members and guests and thanking the hostesses, Mrs. Puryear and Mrs. Philip Brewer. The U.S. Flag Chairman, Mrs. Walter Clark, gave a few interesting comments on Lafayette. He spent a number of years in the United States and, when he returned to France, he took back with him a trunk of American soil to be spread over his grave when he died. President Andrew Jackson, in appreciation for Lafayette’s service to the United States, decreed that, when Lafayette died, the same honors that were awarded to George Washington when he died would be awarded to Lafayette. Also, an American flag flies over his grave in Paris. The last report of the outgoing President General, Marie H. Yochim, was read in which she reviewed her three years as the Centennial President General and listing all the landmark celebrations of the United States during those years.

Eating dirt and worms at camp ? By HELEN W. SMITH Kitnwion Agtnt, Horn Economic* No, the rumors you’ve heard floating around the county this week are not true.. .1 repeat. . .not true! Despite what your children may have told you when they jumped off the bus returning from 4-H Day Camp last week, I want to reassure all parents that your children did not eat dirt and did not eat worms. Rather, they ate Dirt Cake that was filled with “gummy worms.” It was delicious, too! They let us grown-ups have a taste, too. For my foods and nutrition column this week, I decided to share with you the recipes from the Cooking Class at our 1992 4-H Day Camp which was held June 22-24. Seventyeight Rappahannock County children, ages 6 to 12, participated. In the mornings each child took four classes followed by swimming, lunch and an afternoon assembly which featured a guest speaker. Toni Updike and Susan Carney, two of the 15 adults who volunteered their time and talents to teach our morning classes, taught the 4-H Cooking Class. The objectives of the' cooking class were to teach the children about nutritious foods, to taste new foods, to learn to prepare simple recipes — this was a hands-on Workshop, and to have fun! | On day one they made Guacamole and ate it with corn chips. The campers learned that guacamole is hiade with avocadoes. The avocado Was a familiar food to some campers and a new food to some campers. The campers learned how to tell when an avocado is ripe and why you put lemon juice in it to keep it from burning brown. They also learned that if you have leftover guacamole, ’you put the pit you saved back into Die leftovers and store covered in the refrigerator. The pit will keep the guacomole from turning brown. * On day two the campers learned the importance of eating their veggies. President Bush may not eat his brocolli, but he would be proud of our 4-H campers because they ate their spinach after they made it into a spinach salad. On day three Mrs. Updike, who is a member of the Virginia Cattlewomens Association, taught the dunpers about the nutrients we get When we eat beef. Then the campers made ground beef stroganoff in an HOME ECONOMICS electric skillet,. Homemade lemonade Ingredients: 3 lemons 2 pts. of water 1/4 cup of sugar Squeeze the lemon with your hands or a juicer works well over a bowl. Pour lemon juice equally into two glasses and add water and sugar. Throw in ice cubes. Guacamole Ingredients: 3 ripe avocadoes 1 Tblsp. lemon juice I green onion 1 tomato 1 clove of garlic or 1/2 tap. of garlic powder Chop the onion and tomato into tiny pieces and set aside. Dig the pits out of the avocadoes and set aside. Scoop the insides into a bowl and mash it all up with a fork. Add garlic powder or if you really like garlic add a crushed garlic and add to mashed avocadoes. Add the tomato, onion, lemon juice and salt. Mix thoroughly. Bring on the com chips and dig in. If you have any leftovers, put the pit you saved back into them and store covered in the refrigerator. The pit will keep the gucamole from turning brown. Root the pit in water for your own avocado tree. Spinach salad Salad: 1 can drained bean sprouts 1 lb. spinach 2 cans water chestnuts, thinly sliced 2 hard-cooked eggs, grated or Bike-a-thon big success By STEPHEN YOUNG bppataaa«kNmCnMMtafWihir Even though this year’s bike-athon was "finally held” in the pouring rain May 80 the riders collected Kfor the St. Judes Childrens jrital. >' Top money raisers were Roy Pool and Jonathan Moore with over $100 each and the three longest distant riders were Roy Pool, Jonathan Heddleston and Jonathan Moore all with oyer 20 miles each.
