The new plans call for a twostory lodge with ID rooms for overnight guests to be built onto an existing farmhouse to the north behind the present inn and a new building holding a banquet hall for 100 guests and office where the stables are now. The three buildings would be joined by a covered walkway. There are also plans for a tennis court, new stable and additional parking. In March the planners first took up plans for the Bleu Rock expansion to include 12 additional rooms for overnight guests and a banquet facility seating 160 people. Owners Jean and Bernard Campagne weren’t present for the meeting, but since the public hearing had been advertised the planners offered those in attendance the opportunity to speak on the proposal. Lucy Ann Maeyer, who owns the farm west of the Bleu Rock, said she had supported the original plans that called for a five-room inn, restaurant and vinyard, but the new plans were for a much more commercial use. At the planners’ meeting in April the planners again postponed consideration of the application at the owners’ request. Mrs. Maeyer asked how often she would have to come back before the application would be heard. In May, with everyone present, attorney Douglas Baumgardner said the owners hadn’t settled on a plan and wanted guidance from the planners. They presented three possible plans, the chief difference was in the design for the banquet facility. Uli Maeyer said he was concerned about noise from large groups at the Bleu Rock. Noting that the inn is in an agricultural area, he said he felt approving it would open agricultural areas up for large scale commercial uses. Dick McNear, who owns property in the area, suggested lighting See Expand, Page A-7 Classroom space tight at schools By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The School Board is considering which of the three alternatives for expansion to recommend at their November meeting. In the meantime, the building principals are studying the proposed plans for additions to the buildings to make certain they will meet the needs of the schools. Last Tuesday consultants from Baughan and Baukhages architectural firm in Luray presented their findings oil/Various alternatives to members of the School Board and Board of Supervisors. They had been asked to study long range trends in enrollment and to estimate costs for solving space needs with modular classrooms, additions to the two school buildings, and a new middle school. Consultant Lowell Baughan said as a temporary measure the elementary school could meet its space needs with seven modular classrooms at a cost of $284,900. This would still leave five classes being taught in the three modular class. rooms now at the school and eight classes being taught in divided rooms that were formerly three regular classrooms and the teachers’ lounge. Mr. Baughan said the high school is not yet short of space. However, it is already difficult to find rooms to use for study halls. He said in four or five years the high school will be needing additional classrooms and estimated that nine modular units to be used as classrooms would cost $366,300. The total cost for modular units at both schools would be $651,200. Mr. Baughan noted that before putting in modular classrooms, the school system must notify the state education department that they are temporary. He added that modular classrooms are usually put close to the school on level ground that is the See Schools, Page A-7 Catching up Rappahannock News Staff PhotoCindy Mahan Jason Brown, dark jersey, pursues ball in Homecoming game.

Campaigns wind down intensely in 10th By BILL WALSH lanMnannock New* Special Writer The Commonwealth of Virginia has voted Republican for the past 20 years, and the northerly reaches of the Old Dominion, in particular, have been a bastion of GOP loyalty. Area Democrats are looking for that to change with the party’s powerful ticket this year, and have been handing out reams of literature at shopping centers for the past several Saturdays, organized an auto caravan through the 10th District last week, organized phone banks throughout the area, lined up workers for county precincts on Nov. 3, and developed a “ride to the polls” program for Election Day in many localities. Ray Vickery, the Democratic challenger in the 10th Congressional District, iB “shifting his ‘campaign for change’ into high gear for the final days before the election ... by taking his message to the people,” according to his Oakton campaign headquarters. Vickery has belittled his opponent, incumbent Republican Frank Wolf, for concentrating his campaign so heavily in the Fairfax suburbs, and is planning to frequent this area to drive home the point between now and Nov. 3. The Democrat will visit a yet-unannounced site in Fauquier on Friday, will address the “lunch bunch” at the Public House in Flint Hill on Oct. 28, and will attend a rally on the steps of the Leesburg courthouse on Saturday, according to his office. * Vickery is running on a platform that is pro-choice, and calls for deficit reduction, congressional reform, and term limits. As far as shopping centers, King, queen crowned at rites Seniors Susan Payne and Kevin Jolliffe were elected king and queen of Homecoming and recognized during halftime activities at last Saturday’s soccer game. Other Homecoming attendants were seniors Neeley Bartlett and Mike Brown, juniors Leah Marlett and J.C. Welch, sophomores Cindy Welch and Johathan Maeyer, freshmen Keri Kerr and Willie Shyanks, ahd eighth graders Keirsten Kerr and Jon Digges. The Rappahannock club team loet the game 2 to 1 to the team representing the Warrenton JCs. Rappahannock’s goal was scored by Tim O’Meara on a penalty kick. Another apparent Rappahannock goal did not count. Referees said that to count as a goal the entire ball has to pass over the goal line, and in this case the ball did not.

According to polls charting the national race, they have had to. “I am very optimistic on both the national race and the congressional race,” Jay Katzen, a local party chairman and a member of the Bush election team, said on Tuesday. “I am confident that the American voter ... is going to turn to the Republican ticket and re-elect George Bush and Dan Quayle,” he said. The Republican Party has maintained its “strong and winning edge" in Virginia, Katzen noted, while ad Reclamation project Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Richard H Johnson Ninth graders Jason Butler, left, Sara Klatko and Amelia Manson checked clarified water at the Sperryville waste-water treatment plant tumble down a manmade ‘waterfall’ for aeration and then into a chlorination tank. They were among science students on a recent Field trip studying waste management. mitting that the figures will likely not be so overwhelming in favor of the party this year, due to the threeway presidential race. Six-term incumbent Frank Wolf has never actually represented Rappahannock County, but will take over as congressman, should he win the election, when the county officially joins the redrawn 10th District in January. Transportation issues have served him well in the more urbanized sections of Northern Virginia, and Republicans hope that the congressman’s dedication to the commuter’s cause will play well here. The local Perot campaign intends to remain low-key, loosely organized, and “folksy,” according to Fauquier coordinator Rozanne Winfield. Not many formal campaign activities are planned between now and the election, Mrs. Winfield said, though Perot backers are driving with their “lights on for Perot” this week and next, and wearing blue ribbons. No local election night celebrations are planned, although there is a regional party scheduled for a hotel in Tysons Comer, according to Mrs. Winfield. Independent congressional candidate Alan Ogden said on Tuesday that his plans for the final days of the campaign were not complete, but that he was unaware of any scheduled stops in Rappahannock. Ogden is running on a platform that supports nationalization of the federal reserve system. The $013 million bond referenda for education, parks, and mental health appear to be headed for victory, but opposition forces are gathering strength. Mason Gardner, a spokesman for the Virginia Taxpayers’ Association, said that the bonds are being issued because the hard economic times have prevented them from being funded in the budget, where they rightfully belong. The ballot will also pose a question concerning an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that would allow for the creation of a “rainy day fund.” As it now stands, the state must spend revenues as it receives them, and the amendment would establish a formula to save money during years when there is exceptional growth in revenues, for use during years when there are shortfalls in revenues from income and sales taxes. THE i VIRGINIA POLL 1993 i ---- I An effort by Republican legislators to encourage citizen participation in the 1993 Virginia General Assembly 1. Should the state relax the Dillion Rule, which limits the type of taxes towns, cities and counties can impose, and let local governments levy new taxes? 2. Should parents or guardians at least be notified before their minor daughters have abortions? 3. Do you favor expanding the death penalty to include all premeditated murder? 4. Should the state police have the authority to investigate public officials they suspect of criminal activity without having to get the permission of the Governor or Attorney General as they do now? 5. Would you prefer tougher laws and harsher penalties for crimes committed with firearms rather than putting additional restrictions on law abiding gun owners? 6. Currently the Democratic Caucus of the General Assembly in effect selects our judges behind closed doors. Would you prefer a more open process? 7. Do you favor having a period of time for all citizens to examine the Governor's proposed budget before the General Assembly begins action on it? 8. Should current members of the General Assembly who are lawyers be allowed to represent clients before the same commissioners and regulators whom they appoint to office? 9.

J Rappahannock students: shine at Marshall school MARSHALL — Several students with Rappahannock County addresses excelled in recent programs at Wakefield School in Marshall. Team captain Alex Kelly of Castleton and Scott Updike of Washington, Va., joined John Davies of Warrenton in taking first place at the Thomas Dale Certamen latin competition in Chester, Va. After the event, the three students performed “iron men” duties and returned to Marshall to play in the second half of the school’s homecoming game against Notre Dame. Wakefield students chose Lyon Martin of Millwood as their homecoming queen. Students in grades one through 12 elected Stephanie Torneden of Flint Hill as vice president of the student body. The school models its elections after the Electoral College form of election. In sports news, Miss Torneden scored 14 points in a volleyball victory over Tara Reston. In other school news, acting headmaster T. Rex Wilson has been named to the 1992 edition of “Who’s Who Among America's Teachers,” the second year that Wilson has been listed in the publication. Academic Dean Lee Buratti and Tutt Stapp-Harris and Julie Duggan' attended a recent publications workshop sponsored by the Virginia Association of Journalism Teachers and Advisors in Fredericksburg.

The Audit Bureau WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28,1992 |The choice is yours ^ Next Tuesday, the county’s voters will be asked to choose :a president, a congressman in a brand new district, as well as ■io approve or reject three bond issues and one amendement to the Virginia constitution and to decide whether Rappahannock ;County should have elected school boards. Last week, this newspaper offered its opinions of the candidates and questions before the state’s voters. This week, we urge you to vote on Nov. 3. Regardless of your political affiliation, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the endorsements made by this newspaper last week, we urge 'you to vote. Z The presidential race between the three major candidates, lias been history in the making, with a once-popular incumbent Jn the underdog role and the independent perhaps playing the spoiler. You’ll make the decision that historians and political :«cientist8 will wrap careers around for decades to come. Z The race for the 10th District congressional seat has been the subject for news stories and editorial opinions in the papers of the district for months. Though the race has shifted however slightly from the decorum each candidate had promised, both candidates’ views on the issues have been placed before the voters. “ The bond issues before the voters represent a significant shift from the traditional system of financing in Virginia and, if ^approved, place an additional burden on taxpayers. They are •important decisions that will affect many institutions and ^ people and the way government raises and spends money in Sthe coming years. * * * A lot of time, effort and money has been spent by activists ton all sides of these important issues. But regardless of the •campaign rhetoric and predictions, the final choice still rests •with the voters of the Commonwealth. : They will make their decision by participating in the only poll that counts — next Tuesday’s election. * We urge our readers to carefully consider their vote. Z As has become something of a tradition in the press, we “offer the following examples of the importance of voter participation in democratic elections. It was originally sent to Ann Landers by an election judge in Missouri, who had copied it from his judge’s manual. * In 1646, one vote game Oliver Cromwell control of t England. In 1649, one vote caused Charles I of England to be ^executed. In 1776, one vote gave America and English language — * instead of German. £ In 1845, one vote brought Texas into the Union. In 1868, one vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment. * In 1876, one vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency of the United States. In 1923, one vote gave Adolph Hitler leadership of the ; Nazi Party in Germany. In 1941, one vote saved the Selective Service from ^abolition—just weeks before Pearl Harbor. We urge our readers — and our fellow voters — to go to the polls on Tuesday. The choice — and the decision — is yours. Exercise your right to vote. It counts. Morality, is the issue (Editor’s note: Four years ago Sperryville resident John L. Marocchi wrote an op-ed item for the Rappahannock News in the form of a letter to his oldest grandson. This year he is submitting another, to his second grandson, now a freshman at the University of Virginia.) Dear Jeff: Recently you said the political campaign is “confusing - so many issues, so much talk, so many contradictory claims!” You asked if I could simplify it for you; even though too young to vote now,- you want to look ahead and learn how to judge. Most agree our country races major problems. Beyond that, opinions differ greatly. To help you better understand the broad picture, think of our national problems in two categories: moral and economic. The moral is the most important for our long term future. It is not the principal, or even a major, issue in this campaign. Indeed, many commentators make the incredible statement that the character of a candidate is not important - only the issues are! So, a quick look at some lessons of history. Will and Ariel Durant’s lifetime work, “The Story of Civilization,” fills 10 volumes. In the books on Greece and Rome, Durant explains the decline and fall of those great cultures and states. About the moral aspects of Greece’s fall, Durant wrote: “Moral disorder accompanied the growth of luxury and the enlightenment of the mind... The rising bourgeosi of Athens. . .had little use for the traditional faith; the patron gods of the city. . .no longer inspired them with moral scruples. ” “As the state religion lost its hold upon the educated classes, the individual freed himself more and more from the old moral reatraints - the son from parental authority, the male from marriage,4 the woman from motherhood, the cttiten'ffrom* political responsibility. . .sexual and political morality continued to decline.” Yet in our campaign of 1992 the moral foundations of a nation’s health are peripheral. Efforts to raise them are mocked by many media and entertainment personalities as intrusions by “fundamentalists and McCarthyites” in the area of individual freedom and civil rights. They are wrong. On economic and politics, Durant again: ‘The death of Greek democracy was. . .a natural death, in which the fatal agents are the organic disorders of the system.” Rome fell for the same reasons. The similarity, amazing at first, logical after thought, drives the lesson home. Morality is as important to the health of a state as to an individual. Everyone agrees the election of 1992 will turn on economic issues: debts, especially the $4 trillion-plus federal debt, threaten everyone. The growing federal deficit, unless stopped and reversed, will destroy our already recession-plagued economy. Contenders differ on how to make the needed changes. Let’s sketch the parties’ approaches, using platforms and campaign speeches. • Is business bad! Republicans: Government should get out of the way. “Reduce the tax on investment. . .Government regulation is a hidden tax.. .costing each household more than $5,000 every year. It stifles job creation and hobbles our national competitiveness.” Democrats: Government should give it a boost. “‘We see’ government as an instrument to make our economy work. . .We develop and pursue a national plan for restoring our economy...” • Do some citizens, fairly or not, feel mistreated and seek relief? Republicans: Go slow. “Civil rights” can’t be an umbrella covering all measures, right or wrong, promoting opportunity, we reject efforts to replace equal rights with quotas or other preferential treatment. . .We oppose efforts to include sexual preference as a protected minority receiving preferential status under civil rights statutes.. .We oppose any legislation or law which. . .recognizes same-sex marriages.” Democrats: Government should pass a law, set up bureaucracies: “We support. . .affirmative action. ‘We will’. . .provide civil rights protection for gay men and lesbians and an end to Defense Department discrimination. . .” ‘against homosexuals’ • Are public schools failing America’s children? Republicans: Give more choices and power to parents Rapphannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage The chefs who cooked for the recent Rappahannock Animal Welfare League fundraiser are flanked by some of their hungry admirers. From left to right are Waldron O’Connor, Gene McCarthy, Sam O’Connor, Roger Batchelder and chefs David Shannon, Jeff Waite, Matt Trottier, Suzanne Salkauskas, Robert Fasce, Wendy Jackson, Ed Farrow, Beth Harley, Amy Dencler, Denise Carrington, Bonnie Moore : and John Patton.

Unavailable for the photo was Vinnie DeLuise. and localities. “Parents have a right to choose the best school for their children. . .Communities should be empowered to find what works. . .America needs public, private and parochial schools. . .American families must be given a choice in education.” Democrats: The federal government should spend more and increase control. “We oppose private school vouchers. . .We will expand programs. . .every child deserves an equal chance to a world-class education. . .Reallocating resources toward this goal must be a priority.” • Is health care a worry for most Americans? Republicans: Solve the problem but do not wreck the system: “The President’s plan will make health care more affordable through tax credits and deductions. . . more accessible. . .by reducing insurance costs and eliminating workers’ wor. ries of.Jqsing . insurance if they change jobs. . .preserving individual options. . .preserving quality care.” Democrats: The federal government should take charge. “All Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care. . .not as a privilege, but as a right. . .We will enact a reform of the health care system to control costs and make health care affordable.” Remember, Jeff, examine the different approaches and ask what experience teaches. Governments have existed for thousands of years. Their policies have been good and bad, successful and unsuccessful. When bad and unsuccessful, misery and often revolution followed. Our country was born exactly that way, rebelling against oppressive government that thought it knew best. Governments always think they know best. Perhaps what Hegel wrote in 1832 is true: “What experience and history teach is this - that people and governments never have learned anything from history.” At least we should try. What does history teach? We’ve looked at the distant past. In the last hundred years our government and others have steadily expanded their roles in citizens’ lives. Here are some results: • Ihe soviet Union, founded in violent revolution in 1917, swiftly took control of agriculture, business, culture, entertainment, medicine, press, etc., planning everything centrally. The ultimate in the “government know best” school, it recently collapsed, leaving a basket-case economy, people with few savings and little initiative, and the worst pollution on earth. • Sweden moved steadily toward socialism, as government took more and more in taxes, providing more services, leaving citizens fewer choices. Recently that trend was reversed. Swedes, eager for more choice and less tax, voted the socialists out. The benevolent and smothering hand of government, even in democratic Sweden, carried too high a price. Humans are not ants or bees. With foreign examples clear, what of America’s experience with non-political problem solving by government? • Take welfare. Since President Johnson’s Great Society in 1965, the U.S. has spent $3.5 trillion on welfare. That equals 85 percent of the current national debt! For what? With federal bureaucrats in charge, there are more people on welfare for longer periods; an enormous new bureaucracy consumes much of the money. Everyone is worse off. • Take education. Ross Perot said recently that our education system, the best in the world in the early 1960s, is now the worst among in dustrialized nations, though spending the most per student. As federal involvement grew with President Carter’s new Department of Education, things grew steadily worse. • Take the drug war. We can’t put all the blame on government here either; without customers (us!) there would be no drug problem. It is a failure. • Take the savings and loan fiasco and growing bank failures. Government’s hand, i.e., deposit insurance and “supervision,” led to disaster. How? Freed from concern over the safety of our deposits, we paid no attention to the management or reputation of the places where we put our savings. We don’t act that way in choosing a garage to repair our car or a doctor to mend our bodies! Government promises lured us. Government failure to provide needed supervision, allowing some S&L, executives to lend foolishly and deplete - in some cases, to steal - their associations’ capital, led to huge losses. • Take monetary policy. The Federal Reserve was created about 1912 to “solve” America’s money problems, smooth out the swings of the business cycle. Has it worked! No! We’ve had many recessions, including today’s, and a major depression, and the value of money has fallen 90 percent since 1940. In America’s first century, without a Fed, we became the richest, most powerful country on earth, a magnet for millions. In those days the government was tiny; even by 1940 the average family paid two percent of its income in federal taxes; today 24 percent. Could there be a lesson there? You may wonder why so many government programs fail. The answer is simple: government, a political creature, responds to problems in a political way. That’s fine if the problem is political. It is a disaster when it is not. This happens to all governments, big, small, good, bad, authoritarian, democratic; it isn’t dishonest politicians, ineffective bureaucrats, or one party too long in power. Political governments just do not manage non-political matters well. To see why not, look again at the savings and loan disaster, a good example of government in business. How did it get so serious? Politicians, responding to constituent pressure in the only way they can, used political power, first to extend deposit insurance from a reasonable $10,000 to a ridiculous $100,000, then used legislative influence over bureaucrats regulating the industry to “go easy” on troubled or dishonest managements. During the last days of the Soviet Union, American TV reporters were horrified by the conditions in the Soviet’s “free and universal” medical system: inadequate or non-available medicines, so few hypodermic needles that they were reused many times, often without sterilization - expect in special clinics reserved for powerful Party officials, their politicians, who had the best. Yet the Democrats want government in charge of American medicine?! How, then, should we vote in 1992? Accepting that no candidate is perfect, that all have made mistakes, we should look first at the underlying philosophy of each political party and how that fits today’s problems; second, check the personal character of every candidate. The Republican Party, though it hasn’t done all it should, understands that more government is not the answer to every problem and often makes them worse; that the best path out of the serious trouble we’re in is to stop, then gradually reverse, government growth. Democrats want to enlarge governments’ role, size and cost. George Bush is the best choice. During your four years of college, Jeff, spend all the time you can learning from history. Remember George Santayan’s famous words, “Those who cannot remember the past are concerned to repeat it.” Ask yourself a question before every election: “Which candidate would I choose to advise and look after my Mother and little sister were something to happen to Dad?” In your answer you will find the right . choice.

THERESA REYNOLDS Supervisor, Volunteer Services, RRCSB 'Recover' under Clinton To the Editor: On Nov. 3 the American people will again choose their president, this time from three major tickets. Of those three, 'only one can solve the problems which we currently face. That ticket is the Bill ClintonA1 Gore ticket. Bill Clinton and A1 Gore represent a new direction of leadership for this country. They have the perception to see the problems we face and the vision to solve them. The economy of this country is in the worst shape since the depression. More people are out of work than ever before. People who still have jobs work in the fear that these jobs too may vanish. The Republican ticket will tell you that things aren’t really so bad, and that “recovery is just around the corner.” The Independent candidate offers a shock therapy which wjll prolong the suffering for another four to six years before things improve. The Clinton-Gore plan is the only one which will improve the economy by “putting people first.” It recognizes that an economy is built of people, and can only improve when the government invests in people. Only the Clinton-Gore ticket recognizes that there is not a conflict More letters, Page A-6 I' 9 ‘

Continued from Page A-4 between preserving jobs and preserving the environment. The major growth industry for the next century is in products that provide environmental protection. The Germans and the Japanese are already moving in that direction. Unless we get involved, we will have both a second-rate economy and a second-rate environment. Only the Clinton-Gore ticket can end the gridlock that exists in Washington. The Republican candidate has not been able to do so in the last four years. He is locked in a straight-jacket of idealogy that prevents working with the 535 members of Congress. The Independent candidate will have even less support in Congress than the Republican candidate. His tetnperament is also less suited for compromise, which makes for a good CEO but not a good president. Only the Clinton-Gore ticket offers a sensible approach to the issue of reproductive choice. The ClintonGore ticket recognizes that the government has no business in making this private decision, but it also recognizes that there are too many abortions occurring today. It will reduce this number while preserving the constitutional right of a person to control'their own body. J. KENT REEVE Chairman, Rappahannock County Democratic Committee Washington, Va. Gratitude expressed To the Editor: I would like to express my gratitude to our newest little local school, Spring Mountain. This past week the littlest children there (three and four years old) took their trowels to school and planted winter wheat for harvest in the spring! The week before, the school bought a little hand mill for grinding wheat and with their hand-made flour the children m&de their own bread, which they brought home to share with their families. Actually, the little children have been making little loaves of bread to take home every week now since last fall, when Spring Mountain moved into the huge old schoolhouse in Washington under the beneficence of Mr. Carrigan. It is heaven to come pick up our daughter and be greeted by a warm little loaf and a room full of the delicious smell of fresh bread. This is the sort of change I, for one, am looking for in the face of a world filled with poverty and despair. STELLA CADWALADER Woodville 'Big' politics runs scared To the Editor Four years ago, the majority of the voters didn’t want either presidential candidate, and wisely stayed home in protest. Ever since this record low voter turnout, big politics has been running scared. I’m encouraged to see how many people realize that no matter which candidate wins this presidential election, he’s going to stick us with the bill for years of out-of-control spending. The tax dollars that we paid could have gone toward dealing with our own local problems, but instead they went for congressional pay raises and pork-barrel projects. Over the years it gets very frustrating, waiting for that money to “trickle down” to us.

Isn’t it true that the only real progress that we ever see is the progress we make working ourselves on our own problems in our own local communities? Isn’t it our own individual efforts that will determine the quality of our environment? Isn’t it our own family drug education and neighborhood watch programs that will have any effect on crime? If we can’t solve our own problems, is someone in D.C. going to do it for us? But who do we vote for to abolish big government? If this boycott keeps up, big politics is going to be forced to represent someone other than big business. We need to keep up the pressure on our unresponsive, minority government by not participating in another phony presidential election. If we follow the election hoopla and our herd instincts to the polls once again, who will we blame when nothing changes? C.L. KORAL Huntly Thanks to 'creatures' To the Editor: I would like to express my thanks to the witches, ghosts, goblins, pirates, cowboys and Indians, the vampire, the grim reaper, the spider, the werewolf, the dragon, the devil and the run-away truck for a superb job done the night of the Child Care and Learning Center’s haunted hay rides. Your performances, along with and in spite of the rain, lightning and thunder provided by Mother Nature made for a truly memorable evening. CATHY KREYLING Sperry ville Day in court of criticism To the Editor: Please, will somebody in charge at the Rappahannock News threaten to pull the plug on Walter Day’s column “Day by Day.” Last week’s “Day Embarrassed to Say?” was just plain indecipherable. Moreover, it was an incoherent exercise in navel-examining gibberish. Perhaps “Day by Day” was once a column; it is in danger of becoming drool in print. ' In last week's episode"Day opens up with a lead that jumps tracks from embarrassing personal moments to candidate Perot. The column then does an about face talking about a prior column’s misspelling of the word “Glasgow.” Day then mentions an experience as a pallbearer which is not explained; and then over the dam we go with a dopey story about Walter wetting his pants. As if this were not embarrassment enough for all of us who would enjoy a literate, personal column, the piece concludes with an obscure reference to his “last editor” leaving the newspaper, something about the presidential candidates and a final, wacky exclamation - “Whoopee!” Who is Walter Day and how did he land this column? Did he win it in a lottery? Was he chosen at random from the county tax rolls? Was he granted the space in an affirmative action program? Is there an editor in the house? Day’s sense of humor may be right for these disjointed times, so I suggest a stay of execution pending evidence of renewed effort and even the slightest coherence. Failing that, it’s time to give another columnist a try. Whoopee! CHARLES FRANCIS Washington, Va. Clean up dumpster site To the Editor: A couple of years ago when the dumpster debate was hot and current, I adopted a personal policy of cleaning the area around my truck each time I visited the dumpster. A few feet fore and aft of the bumpers describes my self-appointed beat. The last time I was there I measured the amount of time it took me to clean up this little area - 80 seconds. In contrast, this letter has taken me about two hours to complete, the equivalent of 90 sessions at the box, or one and a half years of dumpster cleanup. Now some people might maintain ' (no doubt correctly) that I am a far more talented trash collector than a writer, and that a real writer would have a very different ratio of writing to cleanup time, an assertion I will not dispute. However I think my point still stands: that if a significant percentage (oh, say, 25 percent) of the dumpstering population were to adopt this simple device we would have continually clean collection sites. HOWARD COON Castleton Economy is the issue To the Editor: In your editorial of Oct. 22, you are absolutely correct in your assertion that “the three top issues facing the nation now are the economy, the economy and the economy.” However, I respectfully question the practical wisdom of your implied endorsement of Ross Perot over Bill Clinton. In spite of his unconventional and controversial tactics, Mr. Perot has indeed rendered a signal service to the nation by focusing so much attention on our fiscal woes. Significantly, John White, an able Eastman Kodak executive, who is the author of Ross Perot’s economic proposals, is supporting Gov. Clinton. Our next president, must end the destructive gridlock with the Congress, which for too long has blocked any meaningful solution to the nation’s needs.

It’s time to end our addiction to a philosophy of “borrow and spend,” which gave us a false phony prosperity throughout the decade of the 1980s. Finally, all citizens must realize that just as our poor economy is the result of failed policies and management over a long period of time, so too it will take years of effort, dedication and sacrifice by all to put the nation on a steady course again. WILLIAM B. REMINGTON Flint Hill Character is important To the Editor: If character isn’t an issue, why isn’t Ted Kennedy president? We vote to elect people to office (even when we disagree with them on the issues) because we feel they are the type of people who will do the right things. A person’s character is more important than money or fame or success. Isn’t this what we teach our children? Agreeing with someone on the issues isn’t enough. Each of us knows people who agree with us on all the issues. But would we elect them to be president? We don’t elect “issues” — we elect people. Much of President Reagan’s popularity was based on the fact that people knew where he stood on the issues, even if they disagreed with him. And he was reelected in the biggest landslide in history. There are several problems with Gov. Clinton’s candidacy. Knowing where he is going to stand on the issues from day-to-day is one of them. What type of man would tell one group of people one thing and another group just the opposite? The answer: a politician you can’t trust. Few people would deny that Saddam Hussein has evil plans for the future. I feel confidently that President Bush will deal forcefully with him (and others) if necessary. But what about Bill Clinton? Can anyone really say how Gov. Clinton would respond based on his words and actions in the past? There are too many things we still don’t know about Gov. Clinton which make him a risky choice for president. And it wouldn’t be that way if he would come clean and tell the voters the whole truth for a change. Unless, of course, he has something to hide. WALTER LONGYEAR Washington, Va. Williams right choice To the Editor: Although I’m not from this area, I believe the subject of higher education is of vital importance to our entire Commonwealth. And as a student in a public university, I think Earle Williams, Republican candidate for governor, has the experience and viewpoint we need leading Virginia. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Williams when he visited my campus, George Mason University. Earle Williams knows the concerns of Virginia’s universities well, having been appointed by former governor John Dalton to the Virginia State Board of Community Colleges, where he served for seven years. He served for six years on the board of the Northern Virginia Community College Educational Foundation Inc. and continues to serve on the GMU Foundation board, as he has for nearly a decade. With 20 years experience as chief executive officer of a Virginia hightechnology firm employing thousands of people, Earle Williams is the only candidate who has proven experience in making tough budgetary choices between needs and wants. And as our next governor, he’ll have the courage to re-order Virginia’s spending so that the basics like education, transportation and economic development are priorities again, not second thoughts. MIKE BUTLER _ Burke Who wrote the letter? To the Editor: In the Oct. 15, Rappahannock News, under the guise of being a Letter to the Editor, you printed an article about abortion. Has the policy of the newspaper of not accepting unsigned letters, been reversed? Beyond the introductory sentence, the whole “letter” (Abortion: matter of life or death) is an article purportedly quoted (without quotation marks) from an unsigned letter in a magazine called “Focus on the Family.” The najrijL at the bottom of the “letter,” J. Michael Sharman, and the organization that he claims to represent, "American Family Association of Virginia,” are not followed by an address at all, even a town. One wonders if he and the organization are fictitious. RUTHC. RICHARDS Sperryville LD label' can hurt To the Editor: I’m puzzled. In her letter (Oct. 8), Catherine Cieslak tells me that indifference is simply a behavioral problem, not a learning disability, the implication being that the two are easy to distinguish if one only does some reading on the subject. Then, the following week, Ellen Joback lectures that behavior prob-, terns are one of the symptoms q( learning disabilities. Even more puzzling is Ms. Joback’s uncertainty of learning disability demographics? "... at least seven percent and a$ much as 15 to 20 percent of all elementary school children. ” * Don’t the “experts” know? Why don’t they just count them? The impression I get from these two letters, and the articles I read, is that the definition of a learning disability, is in the eye of the beholder. But consider: if seven percent of a school population of, say, 1,000 sniffer from “minimal brain disfunction^ (Ms. Joback’s low figure), and educa-! tors choose a definition encompaa sing 20 percent of the students (her, high figure), then for the 70 student^ who are helped by special ed classes (assuming for the moment the classes really help), 130 nomral children are doomed to sit through wha$ have to be boring special ed classes, their expectations lowered and their, self confidence injured by insensitive labels such as Ms. Joback’s “LD child.” Finally, if, as Ms. Cieslak says, volunteers can help with this “mini-! mal” problem, why not ask the child’s parents to volunteer? They* after all, bear some responsibility in the matter.

►Expand From Page A-l ■ be shielded from surrounding properties and that horseback riding be restricted to prevent trespassing. Other neighbors said they supported the plans for the Bleu Rock. When it was apparent that the planners weren’t prepared to approve the plans as submitted, Mr. Baumgarnder asked if the application could be tabled to allow the owners time to modify the plans. The planners agreed, but said when t!he owners were ready, the application would have to be readvertised. . This month the new plans were ready. The additional rooms were in a'more compact form, a two-story lodge rather than a 12-room line to flve north. The number of additional overnight rooms had been reduced as had the capacity of the banquet hall. The number of additional parking spaces had also been reduced. The owners also offered to have gil outside music stop at 11 p.m., to kit the high school cross-country team use the property and to let a ftiture tennis team or club from the pigh school use the court. They also offered to shield outside lights from adjacent property and said horseback riding would be restricted to guests at the inn and that they would not go off the property without written approval from fither property owners. Mr. Baumgardner again presented the case for the owners, saying, “It’s important to clarify the issue raised by folks in the audience that this is a commercial rezoning m the guise of a special exception. That is not the case. Lodges are allowed with a special exception in an agricultural zone.” “This property is ideally located fpr a facility of this type,” he continued. “There is excellent access from tiie highway. As to precedents, every application rises and falls on its 0\yn. TTiere are not many such applications. This proposal involves bringing money into the county and hot driving up the cost of services.” . Architect Steven Beigel presented the plans for the buildings. Me said the lodge addition was designed to take advantage of the views to the west. He said part of the lodge would also include a maid’s room, library and play area for the children of guests. The total area of the lodge would be an additional *7,466 square feet and the banquet hall 4,447 square feet, he said. John Hartline, who has property above the Bleu Rock, said he supported the application. He said he had a friend from Germany who visited the county for a week this past summer and stayed at the Bleu Rock. “He traveled around the county for a week, and when he left, he almost needed a truck to carry out all the things he had bought,” $lr. Hartline said. Newbill Miller said when the zoning ordinance was adopted, there was a lot of objection, and that it almost didn’t pass. He said residents tyere particularly concerned with restrictions on commercial operations and restrictions on churches. ‘ “To support strong zoning and Subdivision regulations, they must be reasonable and sustainable politically,” he said. “People in this county want commercial activities to employ people.” Phil Irwin, speaking for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, asked the planners to table consideration of the application for a month. Dick McNear said he agreed the revised application was an improvement, but added, “This is a sizeable concentration of structures. It may be out of character here in Rappahannock County.” Mrs. Maeyer noted that “the west view is me. If you can hold 100 in the banquet room seated, how many can stand? Are there restrictions?” Uli Maeyer asked the planners what would happen if he decided to put in a pig farm next door. “Would my agricultural use be restricted by their commercial operation?” He said that ending outside music by 11 p.m. is not much help since he usually goes to bed by 9:30 p.m. “This will be the second or third biggest business in Rappahannock,” he continued. “I say it should go to the commercial area. Suppose I come up and want to build a German restaurant. I could sue the heck out of you if you don’t give me the same volume. Maybe there is an Italian in the next farm. We could have a county of big restaurants.” He noted that his wife’s farm had lost land for the highway expansion, “and now you want to put a big hotel next to us. What’s next?” With the public hearing closed the planners took up the application. They asked the applicants to agree to end outside music at 10 p.m., to shield existing as well as new outside lighting, to include mature plantings to shield the parking area, and to agree to restrict the banquet hall to no more than 100 people. The applicants agreed to these conditions. Wakefield representative Werner Krebser said the expanded Bleu Rock would demand more county services for fire and rescue and for trash. He said he could approve the expanded lodge but nol the banquet hall. “I’d like to see any where in the ordinance that this type of banquet facility is included,” he said. County Administrator John Me Carthy said the ordinance did nol spell oiit what additional facilities could be included in a lodge or resorl because the supervisors wantec “flexibility” to be able to considei applications as they came up. Sid Gottleib, who represents the Board of Zoning Appeals on the Planning Commission, said he woule prefer more time to consider the ap plication. He said he was concemec about the precedent being set. Dr. Krebser and Mr. Gottleit voted “no” on the motion to recommend approval for the application. ®ije Eappatjannocfe iietos offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00-first sheet $2.00-each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00-first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet Vfyt fcappatjannocfe iUtosf Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 ►Schools From Page A-l most suitable location for an addition. Then when the school system tries to replace them with an addition, they have to be moved, presenting problems with relocating the children in those classrooms while the construction is going on and adding to the eventual cost of addition. The second alternative with additions to both schools would cost about $1.16 million for an additional 13 classrooms at the elementary school. Mr. Baughan presented plans showing a 12-room addition in the rear of the south end of the school with another classroom added at the rear of the north end of the school and an office for physical education added outside the gymnasium. With this addition the school would have four regular classrooms for each grade from kindergarten through seventh grade, with an additional fifth classroom for two of the grades. There would be separate rooms for music and art. With this plan it should be possible to eliminate the three modular buildings now being used and to put only one class in the divided rooms. The capacity of the school would be increased from the current 525 to 800. There are about 640 students at the elementary school this year. At the elementary school five rooms are currently being used for remedial instruction, and only three are shown on the proposal. There are five rooms now being used for special education for learning disabled and emotionally disturbed students.

Mr. Baughan said the plans could be changed, and another four or more classrooms could be added later. At the high school the proposed addition would be for nine classrooms. This plan would also include additional student bathrooms. It would cost approximately $775,100, bringing the total for additions at both schools to $1.93 million. Rappahannock High has four or five years before it faces a classroom shortage. —Lowell Baughan Mr. Baughan noted that this would bring the capacity of the high school to approximately 500. He added, however, that standards require 12 square feet per student in the cafeteria. The cafeteria at the high school can handle 216 at a sitting under those standards. He said as enrollment approached 450 the school system should consider expanding the cafeteria or adding another lunch sitting. Included in the estimates for the additions were $50,000 at each school to increase the water supply and $150,000 to increase the sewage disposal at the high school. Finally Mr. Baughan estimated that a new middle school with a capacity of 500 students for fifth through eighth grades would cost $4.2 million. This would include 20 regular classrooms and nine classrooms for special programs. It would also include a kitchen and cafeteria, gymnasium, including locker rooms and showers, administrative space, and a library. ►Commute From Page A-l 34.7 minute commute time. In comparison, Madison workers report an average of 23 minutes, Orange 26.5 minutes, Culpeper 28.5 minutes, and Fauquier workers report an average of 32.6 minutes. Rappahannock workers are more likely to report that they use a carpool to get to work, and a higher percentage than any county except Madison report they walk to work or work at home. According to the statistics compiled from the census, 66.8 percent of Rappahannock’s workers report they drive alone and 21.2 percent report they carpool. For Culpeper the figures are 71.9 percent and 20.9 percent, for Fauquier 73.5 percent and 16.9 percent, for Madison 66.8 percent and 19.7 percent and for Orange 72.8 percent and 18.4 percent. The percentage of Rappahannock workers who walk to work or work at home is 10.7. For Culpeper that number is 4.8, for Fauquier 8 percent, and for Orange 6.6 percent. Twelve percent of Madison’s workers walk to work or work at home. Very few workers in any of the counties use public transportation or other means of getting to work. While 1,320 members of Rappahannock’s workforce report they work in the county, other statistics assembled by the Virginia Employment Commission report 1,141 jobs in the county, and workers from outside the county hold some of those jobs. Perhaps that indicates that many of those living and working in the county are self-employed and their jobs are not counted. Of the 1,141 jobs, 27 are in agriculture and forestry, 102 in construction, 260 in manufacturing, 258 in trade, 22 in finance, insurance and real estate, 183 in services and 289 in government. Separate statistics, again from the Census are provided for Rappahannock workers aged 16 and older wherever they work. Of 3,375 workers whose jobs are categorized by industry, 409 work in agriculture, forestry or fishing, 649 in construction, 416 in manufacturing, 249 in transportation, communications and public utilities, 487 in trade, 122 in finance, insurance and real estate, 825 in services, and 218 in public administration. When these same 3,375 workers have their jobs catagorized by occupation, 313 are executive, adminis trative or managerial, 360 professional, 91 technicians, 305 in sales, 451 in administrative support, 34 household, 49 in protective services, 208 in other services, 394 in farming, forestry and fishing, 851 in precision craft and repair, 217 operators, assemblers or inspectors, 158 transportation and material movers and 144 laborers and helpers. A smaller percentage of Rappahannock’s work force is women than in the other counties in the planning district. Rappahannock’s labor force is 59 percent male and 41 percent female. The percentages for the other four counties are 55 percent male and 45 percent female. These jobs and other sources of income lead to a fairly high per capita income for Rappahannock residents but an average income per family. Rappahannock’s per capita income of $17,260 in 1989 is lower than Fauquier’s at $19,195, but higher than Culpeper’s at $14,122, Madison’s at $11,145, and Orange’s at $13,545. On the other hand Rappahannock has a fairly high rate of poverty; 10.8 percent of Rappahannock’s people are below the poverty level and 8.5 percent of the families are. Only Madison County has a higher poverty rate: 13.4 percent of the people and five percent of the families. The poverty rates for Culpeper are 8.7 percent of people and 6.6 percent of families, for Fauquier 4.2 percent of the people and 2.5 percent of the families, and for Orange 7.3 percent of the people and five percent of the families. On measures of family income Rappahannock is in the middle with an average of $36,399 in 1989. Culpeper at $36,605 and Fauquier at $48,806 are higher, and Madison at $30,433 and Orange at $35,121 are lower. — By SHARON KILPATRICK Bryan Clark attends panel WASHINGTON, D.C. - Bryan Clark of Amissville attended The National Young Leaders Conference Oct. 13-18 in Washington, D.C.

It’s Elementary Reading is dramatic Rappahannock County Elementary School Library will sponsor a Scholastic Book Fair beginning on Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 3. The Book Fair will be open from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m., except for Thursday, Oct. 29, when it will remain open until 8 p. m. during Parent Teacher Conferences. According to the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, when parents and teachers work together to introduce children to the world of books, the results can be dramatic. Reading to children and listening to children read improves language skills, such as vocabulary and syntax. Children who read more become more successful readers.. .and, in turn, successful readers read more books. The Book Fair will display hundreds of titles, including awardwinning favorites, classics, how to books, mysteries, biographies, adventures, and the latest works of popular authors. All are offered at reasonable prices, so that students can choose books that appeal to their personal interests and parents can add to home libraries or purchase gifts for their young readers. Proceeds from the Fair will benefit the Library, but the real profit lies in introducing children to the “magic” of the books and in encouraging them to be lifelong readers. Treasury bills, bonds bolster library's standing with state By SHARON KILPATRICK BappahannoekNcw* Staff Writer The Library Board is making progress in handling its investments to satisfy the county auditor and the state Library Board. Member John McCarthy reported that the finance committee had met and was studying how to set up endowment funds that would help the library qualify for state aid and provide for the present and future needs of the library. At last Thursday’s meeting, the board took the advice of James Jamieson and voted to invest $50,000 in 30-year Treasury bonds. This combined with another approximately $54,000 invested in bonds will be invested to produce current income. Another $40,000 to $60,000 will be used to start an endowment fund invested for growth. The finance committee hopes that fund will grow to take care of potential future expansion. The board also voted to get two estimates and contract to replace the section of concrete that presents hazards for people trying to use wheelchairs to enter the library. One section of the sidewalk contains a sloping curb. That makes it hazardous to negotiate the sidewalk. The cut out in the curb will be eliminated, another section of sidewalk serving the handicapped parking area will be added, and a concrete base for the flagpole will be built. Building coordinator Roberta Anderson reported that building inspector Richie Van Burke also recommended that the handicapped parking area be paved, but the board did not act on this recommendation. . Mrs. Anderson said she will also meet with electrical contractors to get estimates on adding an electrical line so the flag will be lighted at night and also on bringing a line that regulates the timers for other outside lights from the basement to the staff room. The board also voted to use unspent building funds to purchase £ new copier. The photocopy machiru®. has broken down repeatedly in th$ past two weeks. Once repairs are finished, librarian Nicki Lynch wilt put the old copier in the staff room and buy a new one for public use; The board voted not to renew the service contract on the old copier. Z Mrs. Lynch reported she had apf plied for two grants: to the Lois Lenski Foundation for replacements for children’s classics and to the Mac Arthur Foundation for educational videos. She also reported that for the first time since the new library opened some of the statistics are down. * She said circulation for adultbooks continues to increase, but fewer children’s books were checked1 out in September 1992 than were checked out in September 1991. * The board voted to have Mrs^ Lynch look over a proposed contract with the board and bring her conK ments to the next board meeting, vXr Wakefield youngsters get 'involved* Patty Shaw’s first grade students, who have been studying mammals and birds in science class at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly, got to meet the real thing at near-by Jordan River Farm recently. “It was a fantastic learning experience,” said Mrs. Shaw. “Everything was hands-on.” They were joined by the school’s fourth graders, who are studying colonial times with their teacher, Kathy Atanasov. The older students especially enjoyed guessing the usage of various antique kitchen utensils in the farmhouse, following lunch on the patio, which began their afternoon on the farm. The students shook milk from the early morning milking in jars until the butter separated, watched the butter being rinsed, and then ate some of the butter on top of freshlybaked biscuits. The next stop was the chicken yard, playing with the chickens and then gathering eggs in the chicken house. A ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor took the students to the bam. After watching a calf nurse, the students all took turns milking a very patient cow, learning that the milk was just like that they had earlier helped turn into butter. “Milking the chickens and gathering cow eggs!” was the teasing answer of the first graders w hen asked their favorite part of the day. From the bam to the country kitchen, the youngsters learned to better appreciate where the food which appears on their dining tabled comes from, how farming and cook£ ing have changed over the yearsr and how mammals and birds benefit; man. * Mrs. Shaw’s students are Misha Atanasov, Erik Hickson, Nate Mar' tin, Bridget O’Donnell, Therese O’Herron, Savanah Stokes and Tressa Wilson; and Mrs. Atanasov’#■ are Meghann Burns, Jimmy Fava* reau, Anna Franklin, Zander Hart* Bharath M.Raj, Hugh O’Donnellr Ruth Purnell and Josh Stevens. * Konick is in Talent Search Jacob Konick, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Konick of Washington and a sixth grader at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly, has been invited to participate in the Young Student Talent Search: Fifth and Sixth Grade, sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth. The integrated program, mod eled after one offered for seventh graders, is designed to seek, identify, recognize, and challenge young people who are academically tal; ented and highly motivated. Eighty percent of the Wakefield Country Day School sixth grade were named eligible for the program. VOTERS...

Apples face crushing experience Rappahannock’s hills abound with apples, and where there are apples there is bound to be cider. Family, friends and employees at Williams Orchard near Flint Hill put the squeeze on bushels of various kinds of apples last week to produce gallons and gallons of the tart juice for sale to thirsty customers. Fate of the fruit begins with picking, of course, then a trip to the Williams’ crusher, where the apples are mashed. The mash is pumped onto trays that are stacked on a press in racks. Under pressure, 20 bushels of apples makes 60 gallons of cider. On the night we visited, the Williams produced 300 gallons from Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Stayman, Winesap and York varieties.

Karen Williams and Kathy Hudson direct load of apples onto a conveyor belt to the crusher. Tommy Williams pumps mash. Ed Marcey, Tracy Guidice and Greg Williams assist with cover.

Roundabout 'The Player' is game movie “The Player,” rated R, starring Tim Robbins, Peter Gallagher, Cynthia Stevenson, Greta Seacchi and Whoopi Goldberg will be shown at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, at The Theatre at Washington, Va. Griffin Mill (Robbins) is a slick young studio executive in Hollywood’s deal-making Babylon, but he fears he’s losing his job to slimeball Peter Gallagher. When he meets voluptuous painter, June Gudmundssdottir (Scacchi), things deteriorate between him and girlfriend/work associate Cynathis Stevenson. There are wheels within wheels in this brilliantly self-reflective anatomy of the movie business. It’s a thriller as Griffin is also a killer, having murdered an angry screenwriter who he thought was sending him lifethreatening letters. In coming weeks, The Theatre’s RAAC movies series will feature: “Housesitter,” Nov. 8; “Mediterraneo,” Nov. 15; “Far and Away,” Nov. 22, and “Pinocchio,” Nov. 29. “Sixty paid attendees to this movie are needed for the movie to pay for itself. Raising Third Child' employs wit, humor The area premiere of an awardwinning play, “Third Child,” will open at The Theatre at Washington, Va., on Nov. 7. The spirited, Washington, D.C.,-centered drama concerns an American diplomat and his wife and children, who try to absorb into their home a fiery teenage girl from the streets of a Central American city. With wit and humor, the play confronts some of the multicultural issues raised in this year of Christopher Columbus celebrations. “Third Child” is winner of two prestigious national playwriting competitions - the Margo Jones Award and the Jane Chambers Contest. The play runs through Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. The D.C.-based authors of “Third Child,” Charlotte Anker and Irene Rosenberg Wurtzel, wrote the book and lyrics for the Broadway musical, “Onward Victoria.” The play’s director, Roland Reed, has directed more than 100 major productions and is director of the Graduate Playwriting Program at Catholic University. Cast in the title role of talented teenager Astrid Brinck, who immigrated to the United States from Chile three years ago and has appeared in six productions at Washington’s Gala Hispanic Theatre. The other leading actors are Sarah Wolf, who has worked with Signature Theatre in Arlington after studying at the Folger Shakespeare Theatre, and Peter Thornton, who has appeared in some 35 productions in the Washington area. The cast also includes Hadley Boyd, Jessica Poirier and Stan Shulman. ‘Third Child” has been produced in New York City, England, and Texas. Within the play, the family discusses sensitive issues such as rape and prostitution, subjects that parents may consider inappropriate for young children. The Rainmakers Theatre Company is a group formed to aid in this presentation of “Third Child.” “Third Child” will be performed at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, 14 and 21, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8, 15 and 22. Tickets are $10, with group rates and reserved seating available. For reservations and information, phone 703-675-1253. 30 YEARS AGO November 1,1962 Mrs. Virginia Kuhn and Mrs. W.C. Hall started our Thursday morning in October’s bright blue weather for their annual visit to Charleston, W.Va. Imagine their dismay when the fall foliage was suddenly screened by snow flurries in the Alleghenies that increased to storm proportions. They had neither snow tires nor chains and were forced to creep along at five and 10 miles an hour. There were many cars that were stalled completely in the snow which ranged from three and four inches there to 12 inches in other sections. Their troubles were not over when they finally reached Charleston as there was a teacher’s convention and with the tourists being snowed in, all the hotels were filled. Finally a reservation was cancelled and they had a room. To top it all, the mercury plunged to 17 degrees to set a record for the lowest October temperature ever in Charleston. Mr. and Mrs. George E. Muth entertained in their usual delightful manner at a Hunt Breakfast for members of the Rappahannock Hunt and additional guests at Stonehaven on Saturday, Oct. 27, following the initial Hunt of the season.

Judge Shore Robertson announced the appointment after hearing public comment last Wednesday on the vacancy created by the resignation of Josef Gardiner. Christopher Parrish, nominated to the slot by the county Board of Supervisors, withdrew his name after Luke was proposed as the Jackson District representative. Citing his existing responsibilities as a member of the county’s electoral board, Parrish noted that he would have to resign from the body if, appointed to the BZA.

A reliable witness has reported observing a group of apparently hard bitten men entering the high school at dusk on more than a few evenings recently. The group entered quietly but with obvious determination. An aura of camaraderie lay heavily about them. Our witness also reports seeing a young woman of unknown background accompanying them, and strange as it sounds, a very young puppy, a very old dog and a mouse. Speculations as to their purpose and origin have been just that, idle speculations. Stay tuned to this column for further information.

Tips to make your next fund-raiser more profitable By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Do you.. .or your kids.. .belong to an organization that continually needs to do fund-raisers? Is a bake sale the favorite, tried-and-true fund-raiser? If so, read on for this week in my column, I’m offering some marketing tips to make your next fund-raiser more successful. Getting organized * One of the keys to a successful fund-raiser is being organized. Make a list of items to take and arrive early to be set up by the designated time that you advertised. Items to take with you include: Table covering. Plastic is best for outdoors. If you want to use cloth, cover with clear plastic table covering. Rocks. Necessary when outdoors to weight some items down. For a festive flair, paint according to your color scheme. Sign. A must! Always identify the name of your group and where the proceeds go. Be creative. This can be an eye-catcher, and will encourage more customers. Paper/Plastic Bags. Many people are buying for later use. This makes transportation easier. Saran wrap, wax paper, etc. Always needed. You never know when “Mary, Mary, quite contrary” will HOME ECONOMICS show up the day of the sale unprepared. Money box with change. Plastic gloves. For proper handling of food. Price tags/stickers. Name tags for workers. Knife/spatula. To cut food that isn’t prepackaged. Pricing for profit • Price your foods to sell! Select appropriate pan size to yield the greatest number of items. • Select recipes that don’t include high dollar ingredients! For example, it’s costly to make cakes with chocolate, nuts, and other expensive ingredients. Instead, make homemade bread or pans of rolls. These are always popular items and good sellers. • Make customers feel like they are getting a bargain. Instead of $.25 each, sell items 5 for $1. • When slicing pies, breads, be conscious of making uniform sizes. • Use even numbers when pricing. It makes it easier to make change. Labeling and packaging for better profit Be creative! Develop ways to attract attention to your product. Use gift wrap, greeting cards, index cards, paper money, etc., cut into clever designs, to label foods. Attach recipe directions for use - and serving suggestions - to the product. Try your hand at various lettering techniques. Use calligraphy, computer lettering systems, rub off letters, and bubble lettering. Glue fabric hearts made from fabric scraps to food labels for a warm touch. Produce many labels quickly with purchased stamps and colored ink pads. Re-name foods to generate enthusiasm. To attach labels to foods, use twine, ribbon, shoelaces, etc. Use hole punches now available in special shapes on index cards for an inexpensive label. The following are some recipes for baked goods as well as other gift ideas for a bake sale or bazaar. Kellog’s nut and honey crunch double peanut butter cookies (Mary Miller Wood) 11/2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 tsp. vanilla 4 cups Kellogg’s nut and honey crunch flakes cereal, crushed to 2 cups 1 cup peanut butter chips 1.

Though its population hardly exceeds that of two hundred years ago, Washington is now a quiet blend of longtime residents and artists and craftspersons who have fled the busy-ness of the City for the ease and charm of rural life. Together they celebrate the Christmas holidays by reenacting colonial traditions. The rich tradition and quaint charm of historic Washington, Virginia, come to life on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 5-6, with daylight and candlelit tours, open houses at the shops and bed-and-breakfasts, colonial dancing and entertainment, caroilers and bonfires, a variety of craft demonstrations, a Santa’s bake shop, a Christmas bazaar and childrens’ gift-making, troubadors and theatrical and musical performances, and colonial meals both days at local restaurants. First person “character” tours and historic tours of the art and architecture of the town will take visitors through the streets laid out by George himself in 1749. Beginning at 11 Saturday and 12 on Sunday, the tours will leave at every hour on the hour, concluding with candlelit tours through the gaily decorated streets at night. Tours will highlight a tastefully restored log home, contrasted with a new building constructed from logs salvaged from an old barn, a marvelous old “ordinary,” the impressive Courthouse complex, and the invitmg bed-and-breakfasts. Strolling carollers will bring back fond memories of country Christmases past. 1 hroughout the village prominent professional crafters will be demonstrating their art. Demonstrations will include a variety of quilting techniques, silver and gold smithing, jewelry design, a floraculture artist demonstrating colonial Christmas decorations, dried flower arrangements, etchings and prints, hand-cut crystal, handmade rugs, needlework, folk art painting, and other traditional crafts and arts. Numerous children’s activities will include a children’s Christmas bazaar and gift-making program and photos with Santa at the Child Care and Learning Center. Both days there will be a Santa’s Bake Shop in the new Town Hall with the owners and staff of the renowned Inn at Little Washington serving their delectible Christmas treats to the town’s guests. The Town Hall will also be the site for performances by our well-known First Washington Colonial Dancers. Guests of the village will be treated to refreshments at many stops around town, but a special treat of the celebration will be colonial meals served at the local cafe, a traditional Christmas dinner served at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, and delightful meals provided at other area inns and restaurants. Come sample the delectible tastes of Cornish game hens, traditional salt-cured and glazed ham, chicken and dumplings, Sally Lund bread and combread, Brunswick stew, and a variety of traditional desserts, including apple, pumpkin and pecan pie. A highlight of the celebration will be the live entertainment. From the traditional elegance of the minuet and Baroque and Renaissance chamber music to the rich ballads and tales of the troubadour, visitors will enjoy traditional colonial music and dancing. Festivities will include a community bonfire and carolling. Saturday evening will be capped by two live performances. At the old Town Hall of “The Shepherd’s Play,” a traditional 14th C. nativity pageant, featuring instrumental music, acting and singing will be performed by members of the award-winning Ki Theatre and members of the Rappahannock community. At the Theatre at Washington, Virginia, a special performance by the Smithson TYio will be featured. Area Christmas tree farmers will be joining this year’s celebration, offering visitors a brisk “cut-yourown” walk through acres of fir, pine, and spruce. A special event of 1st Washington’s Colonial Christmas Celebration will be the roaring bonfire and community carolling on Saturday evening. Parking and admission to the Colonial Christmas week-end festivities are free to the public. Admission fees are charged for “The Shepherd’s Paly” and the Washington theatre presentation.
