After approving the minutes the board went into executive session to ponsult with a “legal representative about a matter pertaining to litigation.” / Then following the superintendent’s report, the board again went into executive session to meet with a group of parents from the Amissville area to “discuss a bus problem.” Chairman Beverly Massie said they heard from the parents in executive session because the problem “deals with personnel.” 1 Finally, after taking care of financial matters, the board again went into executive session to discus8 “personnel and pupil person nei. In between these sessions the board heard a request from representatives of the senior class to take a four-day senior trip to Seven Springs resort in Pennsylvania. Lori Paratore, class president, said the ; class would prefer to take the trip • leaving after school Feb. 1 and returning after school Feb. 5. This , would cost about $233 per person, ; Miss Paratore said. • • As an alternative, she said the class could leave after school on March 3 and return in the afternoon of Sunday, March 7. This would cost about $258 per person. Miss Paratore said the seniors would prefer the earlier trip because the ski slopes would be less crowded on the weekdays, because ski weather is more reliable in February than March, and because more people ' could go if it cost less. She said the March dates were the first weekend dates available. School Superintendent David . Gangel and the board approved the trip, but Gangel said he wanted to discuss the matter with Principal John Toth before acting on the recommendation that the students take the earlier trip because it would involve missing four, rather than two, days of school.

Oldsters spring to action Senior volunteer program is golden By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock Newt Special Writer They aren’t exactly spring chickens, but there’s still spring in the steps of the folks in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Services Board’s Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Take Barbara Gentry, of Flint Hill, who at 79 is older than many of the senior citizens she helps as an RSVP member. Mrs*. Gentry starts her day with a two-mile walk and then goes from one activity to another. She keeps up with her 180-year-old house, where she has lived alone since her husband’s death two years ago. It has extensive grounds to care for as well. At least once a week, Mrs. Gentry helps serve food to seniors at the Community Services Board’s Rappahannock County Nutrition Site in Washington, Va. When. the paid staff member who runs the site is away, Mrs. Gentry fills in for her. She handled the job her<• serif as a volunteer, putting in three half-days a week, for more than four years in the 1980s. Along with aother RSvP members, Mrs. Gentry drives seniors to and from a mental health clinic in Washington, Va., and hospitals in Warrenton and Front Royal. The transportation program was started by the Rappahannock Retired Teacher’s Association. Mrs. Gentry, who was Flint Hill’s postmaster for 21 years starting in 1953, taught in an elementary school for eight years before that. Once a month, she attends a meeting of the Community Services Board’s five-county RSVP Advisory Council, a group of RSVP members from whom staffers seek input on baord activities. Mrs. Gentry is the council’s secretary., . ,v si> Mr. v See Action, Page A-6 Youngsters 'scarce' in county Rappahannock leadsin college graduates By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer If Rappahannock spending for schools is relatively low on a per capita basis, as was reported in last week’s paper, that does not necessarily translate into low spending per pupil. A relatively low percentage of Rappahannock’s population is of school age. • According to statistics compiled by Rappahannock- Rapidan Planning District 9 from the 1990 census, 18.5 percent of Rappahannock’s population in 1990 was in the five to 19 age group. This compares with 21.3 percent in Culpeper, 21.4 percent in Fauquier, 20.9 percent in Madison and 20.2 percent in Orange. People in their 20s also make up a relatively low percentage of Rappahannock’s population, but this is less dramatic than the school-aged population. Just under 13 percent of Rappahannock’s population were in their 20s in 1990 compared to 15.5 percent in Culpeper, 14.7 percent in Fauquier, 13.3 percent in Madison and 13.1 percent Orange. For the percentage in their 30s, Rappahannock was in the middle with a greater percentage than Madison and Orange but a lower percentage than Fauquier or Culpeper. However, Rappahannock has a higher percentage of its population in their 40s and 60s: 27.1 percent, compared to 21.9 percent for Culpeper, 24.7 percent for Fauquier, 23.7 percent for Madison and 23.2 percent for Orange. For those in their 60s, Rappahannock’s percentage is greater than Culpeper and Fauquier, but lower than Madison and Page, and for those 70 or more years old, Rappahannock has a higher percentage than Fauquier but lower than the other three counties in the planning district. These statistics may reflect, in part, the fact that the county has no nursing home. Rappahannock grew more slowly during j. See Stats, Page A-8 Outages outrage REC's customers Utility seeks 7% rate increase By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer SPERRYVILLE — Employees of the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative may have outnumbered patrons at the meeting last week to discuss service and the proposed rate increase, but they could not overcome the patrons’ anger. REC, which serves customers in parts of 16 counties, has about 750 customers in Rappahannock, mostly in the southern and eastern part of the county. They are served from the Rixley substation near Rixeyville, with power provided to the Rixley substation on transmission lines owned by Virginia Power. Jim Massie, of Ben Venue, asked if REC’s service is “as poor in other counties. I feel the people of Rappa hannock are being discriminated against. I think the farmers are being discriminated against. I’d like to put in a hog operation or chicken operation, but if the power is £ut for four or five hours all my nogs or chickens will be dead.” Another customer, who has a store near Rixeyville, said she has lost business at her store because of power outages and said she should be compensated for the loss of business. As the meeting ended, Robert Anderson, who represents Stonewall-Hawthom District on the Board of Supervisors and gets power from REC, said, “We’ve got to document the poor service and See Shocked, Page A-7 Voters appear set to okay bond bills $613 million is price tag By BILL WALSH Rappahannock News Special Writer Virginians will vote on three public-facility bond referanda on the Nov. 3 ballot, and as the election approaches there seems to be virtually no opposition to the $613 million trio. The bond package is the third issue of general obligation bonds proposed statewide in Virginia. If this package is passed by the voters, ed. ucational institutions will benefit by $472.4 million, the state’s mental health program will receive $45.2 million and parks and natural resources will get a $95.4 million boost. Virginia is one of only five states that has an “AAA” rating, according to the Virginians for Progress Foundation, which is backing the bond package. The bonds will not jepoardize that rating by causing the Commonwealth to exceed debt-torevenue ratios. Virginians will see immediate economic benefits in addition to the capital improvements if the bonds are passed, according to Foundation studies. Approximately 3,600 new jobs will be created, generating $22 million in additional general-fund revenues. The $472.4 million bond for education includes funding for 95 projects, of which 59 will add space for students and faculty, 27 involve renovations to existing facilities, and nine will improve existing utilities and infrastructure. The community college system will be the biggest benefactor, with $75.9 million slated to be divided among 18 two-year schools across the state. George Mason University, which has set up a public service hotline on the issue, 703-993-8842, will take the lion’s share among fouryear institutions, with $47 million allocated to the Northern Virginia campus. The largest single educational project is phase one of the Medical Sciences Building at VCU in Richmond. State-supported capital improvement programs for education have been non-existent in Virginia since 1986, according to the Foundation’s brochure. During that time, enrollment at state colleges and universities has increased by 40,000, and will increase by another 65,000 by the end of the decade. During the past two years, budget restrictions have forced higher education facilities to absorb $413 million in general-fund cuts, and to See Voters, Page A-8 M& M*wck New* Sufl Photo/Cmdy VUtw 1 A Maryland rider and his pony took on a British i Army polo team at recent matches in Castleton.

Gymnastics in the saddle vaults in popularity across U.S. Rappahannock gets exhibtion on Saturday : By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON , Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer • It was a horse — a single, special Borse — that turned Chris AppelBucierka into a vaulter 15 years ago. ! “I was working my mare, Topaz. She’s a 15-hands draft horse mutt, passive and solid. And someone said she was perfect for vaulting,” recalls Mrs. Appel-Bucierka, who will be conducting a vaulting clinic at Mountain Springs Stable in Sperryville this Saturday. ‘“Oh yeah? What’s vaulting?’ I asked. I saw, I tried, I was hooked!” she says. She worked with a group in Great Falls for two years, learning the moves used in this unique mounted version of gymnastics, then moved to Chantilly where she started her own team. She went on to lead teams to the national championships in 1982 and 1985. Her 1982 winners at the trot were the first ever East Coast contingent to advance that far. At 40, Mrs. Appel-Bucierka still vaults occasionally when a stubborn student balks at trying a move, giving the teacher a “bet-you-can’t-do-it” whine. “Plus, I vaulted three days before my 40th birthday, just to prove to myself I could still do it,” she said. And Topaz? “She’s still perfect for vaulting," reports the mare’s proud master. “She’s 30 years old and still doing it. She’s the oldest vaulting horse in the country.” It was Topaz who gave Dafna Laurie, co-owner of Mountain Springs Stable, her start in vaulting. “Topaz taught me almost as much as Chris did,” said Ms. Laurie, who placed fourth in the 1984 nationals under Mrs. Appel-Bucierka’s guidance. Today, Topaz gives her name — and her experience — to the 4-H vaulting club from Chantilly coached by Mrs. Appel-Bucierka. These youngsters from the Topaz Vaulters will show what they’ve learned from the old mare at a demonstration that’s part of the four-hour clinic at »«Mountain Springs. The clinic may be vaulting’s debut in Rappahannock, but it’s an old and respected equestrian sport elsewhere.

Cau 825-1037 Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South - Culpeper depict the basic moves in vaulting; Roman cavalry men are credited with refining the sport. Vaulting was part of the Olympics until the 1930s when tanks and trucks displaced cavalry units, and it trails just behind soccer today as the favorite sport of European youth. In this country, the first vaulting clubs were established in California 22 years ago, “and it’s been steadily gaining fans ever since,” said Mrs. Appel-Bucierka. There’s an ongoing campaign to reinstate vaulting in the Olympics — the 1980 Games in Los Angelos included a vaulting demonstration — and the United States boasts 60 clubs, “five in Virginia alone,” the coach added. In its own right, vaulting is a challenging sport that gives young people a chance at equestrian competition without the expense of owning and maintaining their own equines. “One horse can be used by 20 kids without the horse being overworked,” noted Mrs. Appel-Bucierka. Competition follows the same model as unmounted gymnastics, with participants performing compulsory movements plus an original freestyle program to music. Judging is similar too, with the vaulters evaluated on degree of difficulty, elevation, composition, artistry and the like. The riders sit, kneel, stand, turn around, scissor, mount, dismount and more, all while the horse is circling at a trot and canter. But there’s more to vaulting than vaulting competition. As an adjunct to other equestrian sports, it can be invaluable. “The horse is under the lounger’s control at all times, so it’s a very safe way to teach,” Mrs. AppelBucierka said. "Kids can learn a good, basic riding seat without being concerned about controlling the horse. When the horse is just a platform that’s moving, they learn incredibly fast,” she said. It’s equally helpful for more experienced riders. “Vaulting improves rhythm and timing, balance, coordination and strength,” says the Topaz Vaulters’ coach. “It’s a real confidence builder.” But whenever Chris Appel-Bucierka talks about the benefits of vaulting, it’s the safety factor that she stresses above the improvement in riding skills, the fun of competition or anything else. “You learn an emergency dismount that gets you off the horse and out of harm’s way, and you never lose that skill,” said the coach. ^ Mrs. Appel-Bucierka and the Topaz Vaulters will be at Mountain Springs Stables, Sperryville, from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17. Participation in the clinic is open to adults and children six and older. Cost is $20 for riders; free for spectators. To register, call 987-9545. Registration requested by Friday.

There's one more! Creation of 'Rainy Day Fund' is before voters J By BILL WALSH Kappahiinnm'k News Special Writer In addition to the national race, the 10th District congressional seat, and the bond issue, Virginians will also be asked to vote on another item next month, one that has been subjected to far less discussion and publicity than any of the others on the ballot. “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to create a Revenue Stabilization Fund?” the ballot asks. “The Fund would accumulate money in years when revenues grow at above-average rates and could be appropriated in years when revenues fall short of forecasts.” According to the State Board of Elections, this amendment is necessary because, as it currently reads, the Virginia Constitution requires that the state spend tax revenues as it receives them. “A constitutional amendment is needed to allow the state to save some revenue in a permanent fund for this purpose,” the electors’ brochure says. The General Assembly can appropriate money to the fund, or it could pass a mandatory contributions formula that would require a contribution when there is exceptional growth in revenues. As envisioned, the fund could not grow larger than 10 percent of the state’s average annual revenues from income and retail sales taxes for the last three years, some $478 Everyone Can Shop The Co-Op THE BEST FALL SELECTION IN TOWN! > Vs SPECIALS MAPLES 25%off While (Including Japanese Bloodgoods) Supplies PYRACANTHAS 25%off (In Slock) PANSIES $2.,5e«h 4 or more Lots of Colors!

The fund’s cap is based on specific tax revenues and grows or shrinks accordingly. The General Assemby may withdraw from the fund only when revenues fall at least two percent short of expectations, when income and retail sales tax forecasts prove to be wrong. A two percent shortfall in the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1991, would amount to $97 million. No more than half of the fond can be withdrawn in any one year, and the amount withdrawn cannot be more than half of the projected shortfall. To say that the constitutional question has been pubicized is a con siderable understatement. Many, government officials and elected'1' representative contacted for this story were unaware that the question was even on the ballot. Rappahannock’s representative^ State Del. Jerry Wood, D-31st Dist., said that this amendment proposal sailed through the General Assembly unopposed, and unopposed legist, lation is voted on as a block. He did not recall the proposal initially, andhad to search back in his records. “Yes, I voted for it down there,’’! he said last week, “and I didn’t recognize it at first because it went through the General Assembly assomething called the ‘Rainy Day Fund.’ It had complete, bipartisansupport, and was part of the packages that were voted on in a block,” he said. “It seems like the smart thing to do,” Wood added, “to save money when times are good for those days w'hen the times aren’t so good.

Thp Audit Bureau THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15,1992 Open space blindsided The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors last week launched a surprising and unexpected assault on our essential public policy commitment to protect the county’s open space heritage. < Despite broad and strong testimony in favor of retaining the open-space category of the use-value tax system, the supervisors voted unanimously to drop it from the county’s ordinance. No one opposed the current open-space category at the well-advertised hearing on Oct. 5; the supervisors did not Challenge the points made by those who testified for keeping It, and we have heard no public opinion suggesting this change. Yet, acting as if the question had already been decided before the meeting, the supervisors moved perfunctorily to kill the open-space category of the county’s use-value tax law. ! There are essentially only two ways to qualify for openfepace use-value taxation: enter into an eight- or 10-year contract with the county not to develop your land (e.g., an agricultural or forestal district), or give most of your development rights to the Commonwealth of Virginia in the form of a permanent conservation easement. The county’s comprehensive plan establishing public policy on this matter encourages landowners to establish these districts and donate these easements in the public interest. If the supervisors elect to grant use-value taxation to any land in the county, there is a strong argument to be made that properties subject to explicit restrictions on future use of the land should be first to qualify. The Board of Supervisors should revisit this issue in the 'vital context of the comprehensive plan. An issue as important as this to our farming and timber industries, and to the visual brder of Rappahannock County deserves no less than this eecond consideration before its full impact begins hitting us With destruction of this valued heritage in times ahead. Land-use tax system In recent months the “land use” tax system has been subject of increasing public scrutiny, some insisting that this usevalue tax system is providing benefits to some people for whom it was never intended. The policy basis for the use-value tax system as set forth in the Code of Virginia is reprinted here in its entirety: “An expanding population and reduction in the quantity and quality of real estate devoted to agricultural, horticultural, forest and open-space uses make the preservation of such real estate a matter vital to the public interest. It is, therefore, in the public interest (a) to encourage the preservation and proper use of such real estate in order to assure a readily available source ol agricultural, horticultural and forest products and of open spaces within reach of concentrations of population, to conserve natural resources in forms which will prevent erosion, to protect adequate and safe water supplies, to preserve scenic natural beauty and open spaces and to promote land-use planning and the orderly development of real estate for the accommodation of an expanding population, and (b) to promote a balanced economy and ameliorate pressures which force the conversation of such real estate to more intensive uses and which are attributable in part to the assessment of such real estate at values incompatible with its use and preservation for agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space purposes, “It is the intent of this article to provide for the classification, and permit the assessment and taxation, of such real estate in a manner that will promote the preservation of it ultimately for the public benefit.” In other words, the use-value tax system is designed to reduce tax pressures that might force the conversion of rural land to more intensive uses. It focuses entirely on the uses of land, and says nothing about the owners of land. It suggests^ that important crop land, ground-water recharge areas, and scenery ought to be protected no matter who the owners are.

Public funding spurred learning disabled label To the Editor: I was criticized in last week’s Rappahannock News for being insensitive to the learning disabled. I only meant to imply that today’s public education system would probably have deemed me, in the eighth grade, to have a learning disability, that is, “attention deficit syndrome,” or some such psychobabble. Of course I know that some people suffer from real, physiological learning disabilities - Helen Keller, with all her handicaps, was only helped by being challenged to meet the standards of accomplishment of other, unhandicapped children. I know from my reading that the percentage of students considered “learning disabled” has grown since the concept was first addressed by public funding. What accounts for these growing numbers? Is something in our drinking water changing the ol’ bell-shaped curve? The only other explanation I can think of is that we are defining as learning disabled more and more students who simply aren’t doing their school work. Students who are considered “learning disabled” - I wonder who decides, and how? - are, so I am told by high school teachers, put in “special ed” classes, FitzSimons' letter raked To the Editor: I found the letter from Mr. Bill FitzSimons, Sept. 23, to be very misleading. Mr. FitzSimons states that in the eighth grade he “had what today is known as a learning disability, that is, I was lazy and indifferent.” Children fail in school for a wide variety of reasons, including emotional problems, subnormal intelligence, physical disabilities (hearing and vision defects, illness), and an inability to adapt to the social and/or cultural demands of the school system. An estimated five million American children, however, manifest learning disabilities attributed to a minimal brain dysfunction not related to these factors. Minimal brain dysfunctions are minor errors of the central nervous system that may be inherited or develop from injury before, during or shortly after birth. Generally speaking, these disorders involve perception, language use, conceptualizaton, learning styles, attention, impulsivity, and motor development. At least seven percent and possibly as much as 15 to 20 percent of all elementary school children evidence some degree of learning and/or behavior problems attributed to minimal brain dysfunction. I feel that a great injustice was done to learning disabled children when Mr. FitzSimons generalized them as “lazy and indifferent.” As a mother who happens to know and love several ‘LD children and adults, I feel Mr. FitzSimons should know more about the subjects he uses in his letters and/or be more careful on whose toes he chooses to step. ELLEN B.JOBACK Flint Hill > where the requirements and expectations are (unofficially) lowered, if that is possible, from today’s norm. Now, college teachers will tell you that many of their unhandicapped freshmen (freshpersons?) come to them from high school functionally illiterate and in need of remedial courses. God only knows what’s happening to the poor souls in “special ed.” How, I wonder, does my critic think Helen Keller would have done in today’s “special ed” classes? And what about those unfortunate students with low intelligence (Is it politically correct to admit that they exist?): Surely their learning problems are not “behavioral?” Must they simply work harder or fail a grade (how undemocratic), or can they get into the special ed class, too? And do they have a “right” to graduate, and then maybe become an airline pilot or brain surgeon, provided only that they spend enough time in class and put forth a sincere effort? To what extent must the system go to protect an individual’s self esteem: I don’t have the answer to the problem, but the public schools obviously can’t even educate those students who come to them unhandicapped. And, my critic not withstanding, I doubt that those with real learning disabilities can be properly helped by just any volunteer with a few hours a week to devote to a “feel-good” activity. But every student, including the handicapped, who graduates from high school should, I think, meet minimum requirements. Those who cannot, handicapped or not, should keep working until they doSocial promotion, for whatever charitable reason, is dishonest and a disservice to the student. If that makes me insensitive, so be it. BILL FITZSIMONS Flint Hill Letters to the Bare truth is sought in board's comments To the Editor: This letter is written in response to comments made by some of the members of the Board of Supervisors (they were probably joking) to the complaints of all the bear spotted around the county. While it is unfortunate that some material damage has been done to crops, I have to admit in being delighted and charmed by the bears I have seen this past summer. I think it would be a big mistake to increase the length of the hunting season in order to cull the population of black bears. It is wrong to assume the bear population has increased just because more bears have been spotted. It seems to me that the Board asked Jim Bankston to appear at their meeting in order to have an expert give some advice to those who do not understand game management (and a few other things). But from what I can extract from the report in the paper they decided that the expert did not give them the advice they wanted to hear. (I’m starting to feel real dumb because they probably were making a joke but I’ll continue just in case). If the length of the bear hunting season were increased, the population of the black bear could be dangerously reduced since most of the bears would no longer be living in the National Park where they have sanctuary but in the local foothills where they don’t. If that is true then the argument could be made that a reduction in the number of bears killed during the season would be in order. Hopefully, cooler heads (like Jim Bankston’s) will prevail. But I prob ably didn’t get the joke (that happens to me a lot). I mean, maybe the Board of Supervisors were just kidding about killing animals, right? Dear Editor, tell me they were kidding. VINCENT DAY SperryviUe Learn lesson from grizzlies To the Editor: In response to the Board of Supervisors’ desire to see that more of our black bears are gunned-down than ever before, I feel compelled to reply. Must immediate profits always outweigh long-term gains to a waning ecosystem? Apparently the board, our “guardians of the county,” feel this is so. It is my belief that the residents of Rappahannock County are privileged to live in one of the last remaining strongholds of wildlife habitat. One of life’s greated joys, in my opinion, is that of being able to catch an infrequent glimpse of one of these magnificent creatures who are trying, against all odds, to share a small portion of this planet with us. Since this is not a financially oriented motive, it is apparently not a priority consideration. Profits seem to be the sole concern, so perhaps the board will consider some financial woes in regal’d to the killing-off of our black bears. It is no revelation to Rappahannock Continued on Page A-5 BEARS A* r I'VE NEVER SEEN ^ AMVTHINC UKE IT i BEFORE/ Y WHERE DID THEY ALL l COME FROM 9j WHERE ARE *S THEY GOING?] to Watch the'1 DEBATE// jg

Continued from Page A-4 residents that our Shenandoah National Park is now so smog-laden that tourist dollars are dwindling. The hemlocks are dying, the oak forest has met a significant decline, and our streams are filled with acid rain. Let’s save a little wildlife if for no other reason than to have some remaining draw for the tourist dollars. An extended season on an al. ready absurd seasonal gunningdown, to ultimate extermination, of our black bears is unacceptable. I’m sure the elected officials in California thought that they were helping their re-election when they allowed the grizzly bear to be hunted to extinction in the state whose flag still carries its image. PATRICIA SHOTTON Washington : Spenders need to be elected To the Editor: On Election Day, we’ll finally ' have the opportunity to vote to elect school board members. This referen' dum is long overdue. Virginia is the only state in the country to have appointed boards. And, as schools, rightfully, consume a lion’s share of local revenue, it Seems only proper that those who spend our tax dollars be made politically accountable. At present, no matter how dedicated an appointed school board • member is — and no one questions devotion to service - none has to go before the public and explain or defend views on educational philosophy, policy and fiscal planning. . School board members are responsible for developing policies that govern our children’s education. They spend our money. They should be elected. SHEILAH S. SWEET Washington, Va. : Emotions spill over'Milk' To the Editor: Last night I saw the second of two evenings of “Ki Theatre Presents Crossroads." The whole evening was superb. "* I want to single out Sharon Wyrrick’s theater piece, “Where’s the Milk?”, partly because she is a county resident and mostly because it touched me as profoundly as any' thing I’ve ever seen. It spoke directly to my sense that life today, in the U.S.A. or the world is often absurd, that laughter is an absolutely ' essential part of sanity, and that grief stalks us all. At the conclusion last night, a rare moment occurred. The audience collectively paused to grieve for her jrnd her friend, for all the others on . Pan Am 106, for all of our own inexplicable losses, and our sometimes unlimited sense of helplessness. The applause was held back. The silence was a shining moment, tangible enough to halt one clap in mid■ contact. We all mourned, having just ' laughed earlier. She had showed us Ijoth faces of reality. t The staging and lighting were powerful, bringing her story uncommonly close. I want to thank Sharon, and Ki llieatre, for bringing us together. ! “Where’s the Milk?” illuminated both the alienation and the love that ‘exists for us all. LOIS MANOOKIAN Washington, Va. Elected body responds best To the Editor: r . An issue that has only local implications will be on the ballot on Nov. - whether Rappahannock County 1 .'should have an elected school board. "The issue is on the ballot because a .'successful petition last summer signed by concerned voters put it there. In this large and diverse country .of ours, every state except Virginia - has elected school boards. The public ‘ school system is the most important • single enterprise of our local government. It involves the most taxes and '.the most people - adults and children - and in a very real sense it is '.an expression of our hopes for the Coming generation, our joy in our "Children and in preparing them for a jneaningful future. ' It would seem to be most appropriate that our representatives on the School Board, who will help shape the policies of our schools, should be elected by and directly re sponsible to the people. To vote “yes” on this issue would be in keeping with the principals of democratic government. However, two arguments have been raised in opposition: first, an elected school board would havf-no power to raise taxes, so that it would be an empty formality to elect members whose recommendations could be easily ignored by the governing body, and second, the wrong people might be elected. On the first point, an elected school board would have the same powers as the present appointed board. But, since the members will have been elected in their own right, they might well be more independent, more truly responsive to the wishes of their constituents. To say this is not to be critical of the present appointed board, which has performed well over the years. But if there should arise a difference of opinion between an elected school board and the Board of Supervisors, school advocates might be encouraged to apply to their special board to advance the interests of the schools, and the governing body might be disposed to pay somewhat more attention than they would to a body whose members they had appointed. On the second point, it should be observed that it is always possible in a democracy for the wrong people to be elected. To avoid such an outcome, it will be important for supporters of the schools to organize, get parents registered to vote, and take an interest in school matters. As Thomas Jefferson said: “I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it away from them, but to inform their discretion.” Let us heed this Virginian’s advice. On Nov. J vote “yes” for an elected school board in Rappahannock County. . LEE BIRD Washington, Va. Abortion: matter of life or death To the Editor: The following is an unsigned letter that ran in the magazine “Focus on the Family.” The abortion issue is often cast in terms of a political or religious debate, but the following letter puts it in its proper perspective; it is a matter of life and death. For the past 10 years, I have worked as an RN in the ICU/CCU environment. During this time, I have witnesses hundreds of deaths, and how a person’s dying heart looks on a heart monitor. However, it wasn’t until a painful personal experience that I clearly saw another issue as the life-and-death decision which it really is. After 18 months of trying, we finally conceived our second child. We were so excited about that first obstetric visit because of the thrill of seeing that active, thriving child moving all about, and that heart beating like a rapidly flickering flashlight. After all, that was our experience with our son, Chris. But our world was about to come crashing down. The physical exam was normal as expected, but as soon as the ultrasound unveiled a glimpse at our newest child, I knew immediately that something was terribly wrong. mere lay our little 10-week-old baby, totally motionless, and because of the transparency of internal sturctures on ultrasound, we all witnessed that tiny little heart agonally beating. The heart rate was about 20 to 40 initially and very irregular in rhythm. We stared in grieving silence as the pauses between teats grew longer. We could even see the heart’s upper and lower chambers contracting alternately. Also, because the baby was so still we could see every detail of that little body so clearly, the tiny arms and fingers, legs and toes, his eyes, nose and mouth. And that dying heart - it was so familiar to me. This was the death of our little unborn baby, and we actually witnessed it with our own eyes. The doctor was compassionate and at the same time totally amazed. You see in all his years of practice he had never actually seen a fetus die on ultrasound. He said seeing such a thing was against all odds, because a few minutes earlier and we would have seen a normally beating heart, and a few minutes later we would have seen no heartbeat at all. We would have seen a dead, motionless child, which is what we had to return the next day and verify was the case. Because of my background and the circumstances, that ultrasound is one of the most clear and painful memories of my life. At the time, I kept asking myself, “Why did we have to actually see our baby die in the womb?” But during that time and many times since, a single penetrating thought keeps flooding my mind. The events we so heartbreakingly witnessed from natural causes are the very same that abortion cruelly induces on an innocent child. This is not an obscure political issue revolving around women’s civil rights. This is a true moral is&ue involving a very real death of a very real baby. Of this I can personally attest. May God forgive me for my former complacency on this life-anddeath matter, and may a sleeping public awaken to this atrocious murder in our midst. J. MICHAEL SHARMAN General Counsel for the American Family Association of Virginia Clinton's performance is positive To the Editor: Like many of the people I have talked with about the Presidential election campaign, I have been turned off by both the negatives and the promises that have spouted so freely from the mouths of both major party candidates and their supporters. We need not make our choice on Nov. 3 solely because of whom or what we’re against (nor protest with a Perot vote). Considering performances rather than promises, I am persuaded by three positives to vote for Bill Clinton: 1. His election would put an end to divided government. In recent years we have had a President and a Congress blaming each other for inaction, each trying to make political points rather than facing up to the country’s problems. 2. In Arkansas, Clinton showed that he could work with a legislature to get things done. 3. Clinton has shown a genuine, and strong desire to bring people gether. f JOHN C. ROTHBERG Madison ►School From Page A-l The last two senior classes have taken their senior trips to the Pennsylvania resort, which offers a pool, racquetball, roller skating and miniature golf as well as skiing. The board learned that a survey of parents done during registration showed very similar results to one done last year. In both surveys parents expressed general satisfaction with the schools, but a significant number of parents of elementary school students were not satisfied with the bus system, and a significant minority of parents of high schoolers were not satisfied that discipline is fair and consistent. When those problems showed up last year, committees were formed to work on the problems. As a result, two additional bus routes were added this year, and a new high school discipline policy was adopted. Gangel said he hopes these changes will be reflected in surveys next year, after the parents have a year’s experience with the changes. The board approved changes in the budget that result from adding over $396,000. The additional appropriation was approved by the Board of Supervisors last week. Most of the additional funds come from another $162,000 from the RJR/Nabisco grant for developing a fourth grade curriculum using computers, and a grant of $136,000 from the federal government for serving at-risk students. Other funds in the additional October appropriation were for textbooks, from rental fees collected from students, and from carry-over and additional funds for special programs. $25,435 is an additional appropriation because of increased enrollment. $10,258 of that is local money, and $15,435 is from the state. The budget was based on an enrollment of 1,010. The increased appropriation would be for 1,025. There are 1,029 students enrolled now. Gangel said he would only use these funds in an emergency, and he would come back to the supervisors to request their permission before spending the money. The board approved several field trips and fund-raisers and adopted a resolution thanking the staff from both schools for their cooperation in moving four classrooms to make room for an additional kindergarten class. Virginians will tell Ross Perot that he's no George Wallace By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newt Special Writer With current polls showing a close race between President Bush and Governor Clinton in Virginia the Ross Perot factor could have a major influence. Though Perot gets only five percent of state voters as of this writing, his advertising campaign and participation in presidential debates could conceivably boost that figure. But whether Perot can get into double digits will depend largely on whether enough people feel inclined to. steer away from both Clinton and Bush, one of whom is almost certain to be the next President of the United States. With a few notable exceptions, Virginians have given scant support to third party presidential candidates in modem times. Perot is unlikely, for instance, to come anywhere close to the 23.6 percent of the total state vote American Independent Party candidate George Wallace received in 1968, by far the most votes any third party candidate garnered in Virginia this century. Most of the Wallace votes that year were taken from the hide of Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey who received just 32.5 percent of the total while Republican Richard Nixon was getting 43.4 percent. The Wallace phenomenon was fueled largely by his populist message Virginia Through Both Barrels —._<?_ addressed to blue collar workers. Later surveys showed a majority of those voters normally sided with Democratic candidates. In 1948 Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond picked up 10.4 percent of the vote in Virginia with his segregationist message. But though most of those voters were taken from Democrat Harry Truman, the incumbent president nevertheless managed to win the state by taking 47.9 percent. No other independent candidates in the past half centry have come close to going into double digits in Virginia. States Rights candidate T. Coleman Andrews got 6.2 percent of the vote in 1956 but Republican Dwight Eisenhower carried by the state by a landslide. In 1980 independent John Anderson got 5.1 percent of the vote, but Ronald Reagan was the overwhelming winner. While there have been many other independents on ballots rang ing from Socialist to Libertarian candidates, they have had a miserable track record in Virginia. For instance, in 1952 indpendents got just .03 percent of the vote, in 1960 only .6, in 1964 just .2, in 1972 some 2.7 percent, in 1984 just .7 percent and in 1988 less than 1 percent. The question is whether Ross Perot’s message will be sufficient for Virginians to put him in the category of a George Wallace or a Strom Thurmond instead of in the John Anderson-Coleman Andrews ranks where he presently stands. My guess is that Perot’s figures will rise and will probably come largely at Clinton’s expense. After all, before he dropped out of race Perot’s figures in the state were very impressive. Yet in my unscientific conversations with former Perot supporters I get a strong impression most of them have moved on to other candidates and have no intension of returning to the fold. They cite his decision to drop out of the race and then return as disruptive to the process of choosing a president and some also believe his deficit reduction message of cutting entitlements and increasing the gasoline tax is too strong in a time when the economic outlook is uncertain. We will have to wait for Larry Sabato to eventually analyze the Perot effect on the presidential race in Virginia this year.

It was unanimously passed to authorize the Northern Virginia Power Company to make a survey and bring their recommendations to the next meeting for consideration for light improvement. The existing lights cost $1.25 each per month while newer types giving from 2'/2 to six times as much lumination would cost from $1.80 to $3.20 each. The current bill runs around $52 monthly and would be increased according to the lighting adopted. The First Aid Course conducted by the American Red Cross and sponsored by the Lions Club of Rappahannock will begin Monday, Oct. 22. Class will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Parish Hall in Washington. All interested residents are urged to participate. This is an excellent opportunity to prepare yourself for those emergency situations which come to all of us. Certification cards will be issued to those successfully completing the course. This will be a standard course. If there is sufficient interest, arrangements will be made for an advanced course.

According to the manpower bulletin from the Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission, the county’s unemployment rate reached that mark in August, a month before the country as a whole. Rappahannock retained the dubious distinction of leading the area in jobless rate. For the month of August, Culpeper County’s unemployment figure stood at 7.5 percent, Orange’s at 9.8 percent, Madison’s at 8.1 percent and Fauquier’s at 4.4 percent. November 1, 1982, is the deadline for applying for land use taxation to be effective in 1983.

He carries a protable organ witly;. him and sings favorite old-time^ songs with residents. He also does, volunteer driving to and from medical appointments for people without, transportation. The following is his own story in his own words. “As my mother’s only boy, andr with three sisters, I learned early,, that it was more blessed to give than to receive. She would take me to see . shut-ins, the lonely, the handp, icapped. As she so often said, ‘Olden,’ people are young people grown up.’ “And even at age 93 and in a., nursing home, I always took her a. present. ‘I don’t need a thing, but I, do enjoy unwrapping something,' he, said. i “When we lived in Vienna, E worked for more than 20 years with' the 50-90 Club.

When we moved to our farm in Rap-' pahannock three years ago, it was only natural that 1 would get into some work that I had done before and at the same time holding on to, some of the work in Fairfax County. • “We moved my mother-in-law from Fairfax County to the Culpeper Health Care Center.

►Shocked * i ' t From Page A-l I give them time to fix it and find a willing buyer.” ! Patrons asked about the pay rtiise given to REC president Cecil Yiverette, and the $37,000 spent on exercise equipment for employees. Viverette said the exercise equipment had helped hold down employee health insurance rates. ; The Oct. 8 meeting at Rappahannock High School began with Frank Andrews, REC’s Culpeper District manager, showing slides with graphs of power outages for the past several years. >' According to Andrews, until 1990 there were not an unusual number of power outages at the Rixley substation. Since then the number of hours each year when power has been out has been increasing, he skid, but most of the problem has been on the Virginia Power lines coming into the substation, not the REC lines going out from the station to subscribers. 1 He went over the series of times power has been lost and explained the cause of each outage, but said one of the most recent, on Oct. 1, has not yet been explained. Referring to the outages, one customer asked, from the darkened auditorium, “Are these things I as a consumer can expect? Are they industry acceptable? Am I getting what I’m paying for? If not, why pay more?” Another stated, “What we care about is the terrible service, and now an increase in rates.” ; Viverette said the company is putting tortn extra enort to improve service.” Others complained that when power goes out and they call to complain all the phones are busy. Some asked if customers served from the Rixley substation shouldn’t have reduced rates because their service is worse. Viverette replied that fixing the problems at the Rixley substation will cost money. Finally costomers asked why they couldn’t switch to Potomac Edison. Viverette said that in the past electric companies had not wanted to give up any customers, but now it might be good business sense for REC to sell the right to provide service to customers on the Rixley substation to another company, if one were willing to pay for the extra customers. Richard Young, vice president for engineering and operations, went over steps being taken to prevent outages. He said a group of customers has temporarily been taken off the Rixley substation and switched to a substation near Warrenton. Lightning arrestors, which protect the transmission lines from storm-caused power surges, have been replaced, and work is going on to clear tree limbs overhanging the lines. Young said the problems became worse when Virginia Power began to use the line as a distribution line instead of just a transmission line. He said REC had entered into an agreement with Potomac Edison to provide backup service and that the solution would be to replace the line with a new 115 kilovolt (KV) transmission line, but that will take five years. REC has a request for a seven percent rate increase pending before the State Corporation Commission. Currently a customer using 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh) in a month is billed $156.82 by REC. Other Rappahannock electricity users, who are served by Potomac Edison, will pay $129.46 for 2,000 kwh in a month. Ellis Bingham, who represents Jackson District on the Board of Supervisors, said he is not an REC customer, but he had been looking into the problem. He advised people to take their complaints to the SCC. The SCC has a public hearing on REC’s request for a rate hike scheduled in Richmond at 10 a.m. Oct. 28. Bingham advised those in the audience to have strong representation at that hearing. Rappahannock Supervisor Anderson urged that customers, as voting members of the customer-owned utility cooperative, should not sign their cards giving the board of directors the power to cast their votes by proxy. “Go to the meeting. It’s a cooperative. Get people you know in there. The best thing is not to sign your proxy vote away,” he said. In September the supervisors adopted a resolution noting the power outages suffered by REC customers, especially during the months of July and August. The resolution, which was introduced by Anderson, said in part: “The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors is concerned that its constituents receive the maximum dollar value of service for their dollar, and that the service be dependable, consistent, and of superior quality, particularly now when a rate increase is proposed.” A copy of the resolution was sent to the SCC. By the October meeting the supervisors had received a letter in response from John D. Hall Jr., assistant director at the SCC, noting that REC had replied claiming that the problems were, “the result of failure of the equipment and accidental interruptions to the VEPCO system feeding the Cooperative’s Rixley substation,” and noting that REC and Virginia Power, “are taking corrective actions to improve the reliability of service.” Hall’s letter said that at the Oct. 28 public hearing the SCC staff “will present the results of its audit of the Cooperative’s operations and its investigation with respect to the revisions the Cooperative is proposing in rates, rules and regulations.” He noted that the SCC-will make its decision on the rate increase following that hearing. “You can rest assured that the Commission will consider the impact on consumers in making its decision. The Commission is well aware of its responsibility with respect to approving rates that will allow the Cooperative to maintain its financial viability, yet impact the consumer not more than is necessary,” the letter concluded.

Welby Lynn is winner with Columbus essay Welby Lynn, a 10th grader at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly, has been selected from entries throughout the United States and Canada as the overall fourth place winner in the junior level of the Knights of Columbus Quincentennial Essay Competition. According to Supreme Knight Virgil C. Dechant, Welby’s essay was chosen by the panel of judges as one of the very best. “Your thoughtprovoking essay,” writes Dechant, “demonstrates your own recognition of Columbus as a man of vision and courage.” Miss Lynn is the daughter of Pamela W. Lynn, of Washington, and the late William E. Lynn Jr. She won the local essay contest held earlier this year by the Knights of Columbus John Carroll Jenkins Council No. 7771. In excerpts from her essay, Miss Lynn writes: “As we rest on the brink of a new century and a new millennium, it is fitting that we should remember one who in his own time, at the end of his own century, so dramatically changed the course of world history. “While we stand on the edge of a space age, with a galaxy to discover, we should look to Christopher Columbus for inspiration. Columbus, the son of a Genoese wool merchant, possessed the rare combination of qualities that helped him become the discoverer of a New World.. . “It took. . .originality and selfconfidence not only to originate the idea, but to actually go to a queen with it. In this day and age, young people should follow Christopher’s lead and try to be original, because, so often today, people become inhibited by set rules and facts, and few delve into new territories. “Those who do may not have the confidence to tell anyone of their discoveries. Columbus, however, was firm in his belief and insisted on making his ideas known. ‘Miss Lynn also discusses Columbus’s determination and faith.’ “There is not only a whole galaxy around us but so much in our world which we have not yet discovered or do not yet understand. It will be people like Columbus that make the discoveries and people such as Columbus to whom we should look as our role models. We may only hope as we search the stars, so much like Columbus searched the horizon, that people with such rare traits as Columbus’ are born.” Vineyard grapes boast a winner Gray Ghost Vineyard’s Cabernet Sauvignon grapes received a degree of notoriety during the 1992 Virginia Governor’s Cup Competition.

David Konick was honored for his service on the interim board of Wakefield Country Day School Inc. and his legal representation on behalf of the board of the school during recently-settled litigation. At the Parents’ Association meeting, WCDS board chairman Bill Beeton of Markham praised Konick’s contributions to the school during the past year and presented him a plaque on behalf of the board. Konick urged parents to remember the spirit that got the school going and to continue working together to keep it a “special place” for students in the future. Headmistress Pamela Lynn, noting the school’s doubled size over last year’s enrollment, said she hoped that, as the school grew, parents would maintain their high energy level. She encouraged parents to come to the school, get caught up in the spirit, and become a part of the school community. Mrs. Lynn suggested several volunteer opportunities. Following the Parents’ Association meeting, parents attended their students’ classes, discussing course expectations with teachers and other parents. Wakefield Country Day School families come from 10 counties in Virginia and two in West Virginia. A review Camera interprets, catches the 'vibes' By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N*w» Contributing Writer Francie Schroeder and Henry Eastwood present their camera’s eye view of art in a show that runs through Oct. 31 at Washington’s Middle Street Gallery. The local premiere of their work, “Rappahannock Exposure,” came 10 years ago. That first exhibition was photography as chronicle, highlighting settings, scenes and characters that are uniquely Rappahannock. The intervening decade brings changes in attitude and latitude for the husband-and-wife team. Their current exhibit is photography as art, with the medium manipulated to interpret and comment. And they’ve widened their range. While the focus is still very much on Rappahannock, the county shares the frame with more cosmopolitan images. The split mirrors the lifestyle of the photographers: they divide their time between Washing ton, D.U., and KappanannocK, spending weekdays at their house and gallery in the city and weekends at their cabin in Tiger Valley. Their new work on display at Middle Street is an eclectic mix that is, by turns, representational) impressionistic, whimsical and philosophical. The most compelling images in the show are Ms. Schroeder’s montages. Ringing a photograph of Earth taken from space with the faces of 130 children, she makes an eloquent plea for stewardship for the sake of future generations. Adapting the traditional log cabin pattern of quilts - a design that’s both familiar and totally American - she incorporates 144 separate images to illustrate the diversity that separates social and ethnic groups and the commonalities that pull those same groups together. Taken over several years, the photos include the swearing in of new citizens on Flag Day, a Hispanic festival in Baltimore, the celebration of Chinese New Year, “Christmas in July” for homeless children, D.C.’s “hands-around-the-Capitol” demonstration for statehood and pro-choice marchers. It’s a personal statement that people are this country’s strength. Simultaneously, it’s a warning that WEDDING STATIONERY Beautiful Wedding Stationery INVITATIONS ANNOUNCEMENTS NAPKINS • BRIDAL BOOKS ACCESSORIES Stop by our office on Main Street, Washington, VA and we can help you plan your entire wedding. 3&appai)annocfe J^etos 703-675-3338 as room and resources shrink and life becomes more complex, we must learn to appreciate and understand each other if we are to survive. Eastwood adds a touch of whimsey with his three-panel collage of “that Scrabble thing,” as Rappahannock News columnist Walter Day describes a tertain annual event (famous or infamous, deoendine on one’s perspective). Here are scores of familiar faces caught in characteristic poses and expression. By juxtaposition and artful arrangement, Eastwood conveys something of the friendship, fellowship and sense of community that marks this segment of Rappahannock society. Ms. Schroeder puts color where she wants it in hand-tinted images of autumn leaves and spring fo/ests. This impressionistic treatment is one upmanship of art over photo shop with the softer hues of pencils doing more justice to nature than the harsher, brighter process of color printing. Everyone has a favorite car, and those whose taste run to the classics are likely to find their choice among Eastwood’s collection of vintage automobiles. These are more than simple stilllifes of cars: using angle and lighting, he manages to give personalities - dignified, supercilious or totally cool - to these grand old vehicles. With portraits - whether painted or photographed - the viewer often wonders if the personality conveyed is true to the subject. But those who know the people in Eastwood’s shots can attest to the accuracy of the “vibes” given off by his portraits. Take for example, the Rev. Jen Photo by Henry Eastwood Lens framed the Rev. Jenning Hobson III against his ‘trademarks’ — the car, the hat and the church. nings Hobson III. In front of his church, relaxed and standing easy with his trademark Stetson and Volvo, he’s affable and approachable, the picture of someone who listens and cares. That is also “Jenks” in life. Or Sally Nash. True to her character, the founder of the Last Minute Wood Company, Rappahannock’s unique dance troupe, sits strong and still in the background for her studio but flows with light, laughter and much movement in the foreground. The scores o.f photographs thatcomprise the October show at Mid-' die Street Gallery are especially meaningful to Rappahannock audi-' ences. But the artistry and message! give this exhibit an appeal that ex-* tends far beyond the county line.

From a population in 1980 of 6,093, the county increased to 6,622, an 8.7 percent increase. Meanwhile, Culpeper increased at the rate of 22.9 percent, Fauquier at 35.8 percent, Madison at 16.8 percent and Orange at 18.6 percent. The planning district as a whole increase at the rate of 25.4 percent, and Virginia as a whole at the rate of 15.7. Rappahannock was also unusual in that most of the increase was the result of natural growth, the difference between births and deaths. For Rappahannock, 53.1 percent of the increase was due to this natural growth and 46.9 percent due to net in-migration. In the rest of the planning district net migration accounted for most of the increase, from 76 percent in Fauquier to 70 percent in Madison. This is not due to any unusual birth rate in Rappahannock. In fact the county’s rate of increase due to births and deaths was lower than for other counties in the area. It was due to the high rate of migration into the other counties. Rappahannock is also the whitest county in PD-9. Ninety-two percent of Rappahannock’s 6,622 population is white, compared to 81.2 percent for Culpeper, 87.5 percent for Fauquier, 85.2 percent for Madison and 85.1 percent for Orange.

Wine and Mary Mochary. The property derives its name because until 1880 it was the Keysville Post Office. When it was found that there was more than one Keysville in the state, the name was changed to Lottie Post Office, after the old name of Route 647. The office was in the existing bam. The residence consists of two buildings transported here and added to since 1922. It was in that year that Col. Sterling Larrabee moved a log house, which dates back to the early 1800s and was used as a mule bam, to the site. Col. Larrabee added a kitchen and bedroom and used the house as a hunting lodge. From here he founded the Old Dominion Hunt. dates to early 19th century -> The last of this year’s home! *. in addition to the lodge there were also stables, enclosures for deer and foxes and kennels for the hounds. The area is still referred to locally as “The Kennels.” Among the people who hunted fox here with the colonel were King Edward VIII of England when he was Prince of Wales. By 1955 it became the property of Witold Kuncewicz who, that year, moved a two story frame house to the site from an adjacent farm and joined it to the east end of the log house. 1 This now provides a dining room with a large bedroom above. Further renovations included additional bath and bedrooms. Outbuildings on the property include a guest cottage and horse bams. Behind the house is a swimming pool and just below this a sunken rose garden in the foundations of another building that burned in the early 1900s. The main entrance is on the west side across a sunken, flagged, patio to the right of the log house. TTie entry hall is woodpaneled; to the right is a former bedroom that is now the den.

I had decided to finally write about my most embarrassing moment but I sure have a lot of thoughts about the candidates’ debate. Briefly: little, big eared, squeaky voiced H. Ross put the others back on course. They had to go from calling each other failures to think about answers. People are still saying that he dropped out and they don’t know who he is. So we will have a couple of more of these engagements; maybe the percentage will change? Last week I misspelled Glasgow twice. That’s what I get for not sticking to facts. We were closer to Sterling, but Glasgow had a better ring to it. Sorry, teacher. Embarrassed really means shame and guilt. If I can remember 10 things before I was 11 years old, nine of them are involved in shame and guilt. I have never figured out how big people can do that to a little tiny kid. Sometimes I think they do it by talking to you, sometimes to somebody else, and then sometimes by not talking about it at all. By this same process these big guidance persons can get a little tiny kid to lie and keep secrets. Examples are, “Why did you do that, aren’t you ashamed?”, or “He/she is such a sweet child except for those dirty little habits.” In the case of not talking Day By Day about it, the little kid asks, “What is this?”, indicating a spot on his, her, body that hasn’t been given a name and is answered by “Go to your room”! From then on that is a mighty guilty spot. The most embarrassing moment was when I was about 11 and was given the job as pallbearer. But in thinking about my shameful past, a couple of other incidents occured. One of these I have successfully repressed so I will leave that alone for a while. The other involved by first day in a new school. I had never been given the name of the restroom. I had transferred from a one-room school to this big school. The restroom in the old school was in the basement so we called “it” the basement. At home it was an “outhouse,” but we did not call it that. I don’t remember it even having a name at all. So, you guessed it! I finally needed a name and the only name I knew was the “basement.” I asked this kid, Rueben, where the basement was and he took me downstairs to the play room. I will never forget Loma pointing at me and saying over and over again, “Walter wet his pants!” I had hoped to go unnoticed, but I guess when you’re using the same slide as everyone else you are sure to get caught. Moral of the story? Tell little kids the real name of where he has to go to keep from getting the slide wet. Well, I finally got that off my mind. It looks like I’ve used up my space and the time before delivery to the new editor. The pallbearer story will have to wait. Next week I hope to talk fairly about the candidates. I was sorry to see the last editor leave. She was a very pleasant and talented woman. 1 hope to talk about the candidates. Whoopee!

He refers to former editor Frances Bishopp, who has left ArCom newspapers after four years to take a job as managing editor of an independent public utilities trade publication in Arlington.) Political memorabilia prevails By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer As the emphasis in presidential elections has shifted from the work of political parties to the personalities of the candidates, voter participation has decreased, says Keith Melder, curator in the division of political history with the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History. At the county library’s second “First Friday” program for the year, Melder showed slides from the museum’s collection of American political memorabilia. The slides are among the many illustrations in Melder’s recently published “Hail to the Candidate: Presidential Campaigns from Banners to Broadcasts". Melder noted that while voter participation has fallen off from about 80 percent in the 1840 election through the rest of the 19th century to the 1920s to 50 percent in the 1980s, some common themes evident in earlier campaigns are still present in this year’s election. In 1840 the Jacksonian Democrats said Whig candidate William Henry Harrison favored log cabins and hard cider. The Whig party used these symbols in Harrison’s successful campaign, building hundreds of log cabins as campaign headquarters buildings and passing out hard cider, Melder said. The log cabin, representing the candidate of the common man, was a symbol used in other campaigns and today has been replaced by the outhouse as a symbol of the candidate / Roundabout 'Beethoven' ts movie “Beethoven,” rated G, starring Dean Jones, Bonnie Hunt, Charles Grodin, Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt will be shown at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p,m. on Sunday, Oct. 18 at The Theatre at Washington, Va.

Douglas Wilder has designated Oct. 11-17 as Extension Homemakers Week in Virginia. It will be celebrated with a variety of community service and educational programs throughout the state. The Virginia Extension Homemakers Council, founded in 1923, is an organization of volunteers dedicated to strengthening individuals, families and communities through education and leadership. -f who is “of the people,” Melder said. Harrison also ran as a military hero, and that theme has cropped up in campaigns since, he added. The earliest objects included in the collection were commemorative items from innaugurals. Pitchers with portraits of presidents were quite popular, he said. Banners and ribbons were also frequently used. In earlier campaigns the parties organized rallies and parades while the candidates remained at home “above the fray,” he noted. Banners were used in the parades, but the oldest banner in the Smithsonian collection celebrated the election of Thomas Jefferson. It was found by a school boy near a railroad track in Massachusetts in 1958, Melder said. Images of the military hero, the common man, the simple farmer and the candidate from outside the usual political circles, have long been part of our political history, he said, adding that “candidate imagery if probably necessary.” Negative campaigning also has a long history, he said, showing many vicious political cartoons from the Smithsonian’s collection. The earliest uses of the donkey to represent Democrats and the elephant to represent Republicans were in such negative cartoons, he noted, but they were adopted by the parties and put to positive use. Early campaigns were “full of highjinks and fun,” he said. By the turn of the century candidates were waging “front porch” campaigns, with railroad cars of supporters traveling to hear the candidate speak from his home. Later came “whistle stop” campaigns with the candidates coming out to meet the people. “As the campaigns became more personal, the parties diminished,” Mr. Melder said. In the 1950s air travel replaced the trains, and at the same time “television completed the media revolution that radio had begun,” he said. “Until the 1960s conventions debated and nominations were settled,” he said. “Now conventions are media spectaculars staged for television.” He noted that there are fewer campaign buttons and “campaign hardware. Campaigns are less fun, and there is a loss of the sense of participation...Campaigns have changed in style, but some things never change,” he said, adding that Ross Perot is running as the “outsider, hero, the simple man from humble beginnings.” “Campaigns tell us who we are, where we have been and where we are going,” he said. “Political institutions are the most powerful of social institutions. By the end of the campaign, we are whom we elect.” The next program in the library’s first Friday series will be on Rappahannock’s haunted houses on November 6. Millay's works endure The Theatre at Washington, Va., will present “Edna St. Vincent Millay: A Celebration of the Artist Through Her Letters and Poetry Oct. 24-25. The Blue Heron Theatre of New York City is bringing its production here from New York. Poet, feminist champion of social change, and exemplar of jazzage philosophy, Edna St. Vincent Millay was one of the most famous women of her time. This year marks the centennial of her birth and, unlike many of her contemporaries, her admirers are still legion. For these, and for those to whom this remarkable woman is as yet unknown, “Edna St. Vincent Millay: A Celebration of the Artist Through Her Letters and Poetry” was created. In this fully staged performance piece, Miss Millay’s wit, humor, and insight come alive through the portraits created by three actresses, each of whom represents a different period in the poet’s career: the young girl from Maine whose poem “Renascence” made her an overnight literary sensation; the Greenwich Village poet who lived by her own motto, “My candle bums at both ends;” and the successful professional woman in whose private life of series of personal tragedies inspired some of her greatest lyrics. Letters to family, lovers and colleagues establish chronology and illuminate her strongly autobiographical poems which, in turn, evoke her inner world. “Edna St. Vincent Millay: A Celebration of the Artist Through Her Life and Poetry” will be presented at the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. Oct. 24 and 3 p.m. Oct. 25. Tickets are $10, and $8 for seniors and students. Reserved seating. For more information or to make reservations, phone 675-1253.

Sweet potato sampler By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Nutritious, delicious sweet potatoes are good and good for you. A versatile vegetable, they can be eaten raw, baked, candied, mashed, and souffled.

Prince Michel vineyard features French cuisine Prince Michel, Virginia’s leading winery, located midway between Culpeper and Madison on Route 29, opened its fine French restaurant on Sept. 24. Open for lunch noon to 2 p.m. and dinner 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday through Saturday the restaurant has limited seating and reservations are recommended. The fixed price menu emphasizes imaginatively presented dishes for each course. Lunch is $20, dinner is $50 exclusive wine, spirits, taxes and gratuity. Wine prices are the same as in the winery’s retail shop, with most wines falling in the $10 to $12 per bottle range. Complementing Prince Michel’s wine museum, winery tour and gift shop, the Prince Michel Restaurant follows in the tradition of many vineyards in California where winery restaurants have greatly enhanced tourism. Virginia Wine Country has become an important destination, and travelers coming from the north will find the Prince Michel Restaurant ideally situated at the gateway to approximately 20 of Virginia’s 40plus farm wineries. Ironically, this Central Virginia Wine Road shares a common bond with a similar road that runs through the heart of the Napa Valley in California - both are labeled Route 29. Guests enter through the Wine Shop where tastings at the wine bar are available. There is a lower level entrance for handicapped patrons. The stairway leading to the restaurant sets the stage for a unique experience. Styled by Parisian designer Ariane Pilliard in collaboration with local artist Marie Taylor, the decor focuses on trompe I’oeil effects including floor-to-ceiling murals which transport guests to the Bordeaux region of France, one df the world’s foremost wine-producing areas. Opulent table settings create an elegant atmosphere. The centerpiece of the Princd Michel Restaurant is the extraordinary cuisine of Alain Lecomte who took first place in the prestigious Concours National de France des Chefs de Cuisine in 1990. Lecomte arrived in Virginia in July with his wife Annie and three-year-old daughter Clemence. Recreating his highly acclaimed French specialities using local products and pairing these dishes with Prince Michel and Rapidan River wines has been very exciting for the Chef. “Sharing these discoveries with my new American friends will be a great pleasure,” says Lecomte with an unmistakably French accent.

Faith Mtn. workers complete course By TINA DUNN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Twelve Faith Mountain Company employees have just successfully completed a management course as part of the ongoing partnership between The Faith Mountain Company and Lord Fairfax Community College. Greg Dodson, Jean Dodson, Cindy Dwyer, Margie Ellis, Barbara Gore, Charlotte Jenkins, Bilfy Menefee, Wanda Snead, Betty Walter, Tammy Wayland, Cheri Woodard and Martin Woodard all attended the summer semester program of LFCC’s “Principles of Supervision” held at Rappahannock High School. The curriculum was designed to develop skills in carrying out supervisory responsibilities including interviewing, orientation, training, evaluating, disciplining and problem-solving techniques. “The class was very informative, and the instructor was great,” said Charlotte Jenkins, The Faith Mountain Company’s Quality Assurance Coordinator. ‘The course was designed for smaller, companies, and their management and human relations needs. It focused on a great deal of motivating workers through human relations, and on the positive impact of decision making and responsibility at every level. This style of management encourages everyone to have a sense of ownership and pride in their work.” “It was particularly rewarding to see that the autocratic leadership styles of the past are obsolete,” said Betty Walter, Warehouse Manager. “The new concentration is on working as a team and building team spirit. This gives the average worker an opportunity to achieve and to speak out, so that everyone has a part in company policies, and so that work is a more enjoyable place.” The course was offered as part of The Faith Mountain Company’s continuing education program.
