Haunting Rappahannock The Rappahannock Library’s First Friday series continues Nov. 6 with a program about old houses and those who are curious about the ghosts that might inhabit them.

The storytellers will recount tales of hauntings in Rappahannock as well as in surrounding counties. The program begins at 8 p.m. There is no admission charge, and there will be refreshments and an informal reception following the program. For information, contact the library, 675-3780. X I Weekend Weather The beautiful Indian Summer weather that graced the area this week will be gone by Friday, according to the extended ; forecast from the National Weather Service. This weekend will see cloudy skies and unseasonably cold temperatures, with brisk winds and daytime high temperatures only in the mid- to upper-30s. Nighttime lows will dip near freezing. County will elect School Boards By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New« Staff Writer Rappahannock voters overwhelmingly supported the referendum to change the method of selecting School Board members to direct election by the voters. The referendum passed with nearly 84 percent of the vote. Currently School Board members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors with the supervisor from each district able to nominate the candidate of his choice and the other members usually supporting his decision. In 1980 voters in Rappahannock voted even more overwhelmingly, by nearly a 9 to 1 margin, to give the power to appoint School Board members to the supervisors. Before that members were appointed by a School Trustee Electoral Board appointed by the circuit court judge. For many years bills to allow the voters to elect School Board members were introduced in the General Assembly. Generally those bills died in committee. During the 1991 session the bill allowing election of School Board members passed the assembly, and this year was the first opportunity localities had to vote on the issue. Rappahannock was among 42 localities to hold a referendum Tuesday. It will be 1995 before elections for School Board members can be held. This past summer Jackson District representative Beverly Massie and Piedmont District representative Frances Thornton were appointed to new four-year terms. Those terms will now be reduced to three and a half years. Before the 1995 elections the other three members terms will expire, and the supervisors will continue to make appointments. Susan Parrish, who organized the petition drive to put the referendum on the ballot, was very happy with the results of the election. “I don’t think it passed because of any overwhelming issue or any member people don’t like,” she said. “It was time to do it. It’s not a reflection on the way the School Board members now are doing their job. People Yes No Amissville Chester Gap Flint Hill Scrabble Sperryville Washington County total 2,067 509 Over 80 percent of Rappahannock voters chose to have elected school boards. Times-Democrat Graphic/John Bretschneider felt it was the natural thing to do,” she said. She said she was confident good candidates would come forward for the 1995 election. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said, “I’m not surprised at all. People want to feel they are in control. If this is what people want, I hope they will all get out and really work for education.” She said she would listen to the people of the county and especially Jackson District before deciding whether to be a candidate but added, “I will always work for public education. I hope there will be some continuity. It takes a new member about a year to learn about all the programs and how the school system works.” She noted that the elementary school faces pressing space needs and said she hopes there will be new classroom space before the 1995 election. “If people are this concerned about the schools, I hope that will carry over into a project for the elementary school that will not take as long as the one at the hig.i school.” Voters support Bush, bonds and Wolf County rejects Democratic electoral landslide By M. SEAN KILPATRICK BILL WALSH and |JS£SEg2i2 r Rappahannock County voters turned out in record numbers Tuesday, supporting President Bush and Frank Wolf, both Republicans, by moderate margins. County voters also gave wide support to the three bond issues on the ballot and favored the proposed constitutional amendment by a two to one margin. President Bush carried the county with 1,409 of 3,169 votes cast, for 44.5 per cent of the vote. Bill Clinton was favored by 40.2 per cent of the voters with 1,273 votes and Ross Perot received 487 votes for 15.3 per cent. More than 88 per cent of the registered voters cast their ballots in this election. The county has 3,621 registered voters, more than half of all residents counted in the last census. In all, 2,975 voters went to the polls and another 218 cast absentee ballots. Flint Hill had the highest turnout with 495 of 549 voters marking their ballots, or 90.2 per cent. Sperry ville had the second largest turnout with 89 per cent. In the Mat of tho-oam»ty , th» wiw» bers looked Mke this: Amissvifc, 88.5. p.r. cent: Chester Gap, 818 per cent; Scrabble 87.5 per cent; and Washington, $5 2 percent. In the race to represent the 10th Congressional District, Wolf easily defeated Ray Vickery in Rappahannock County, 1,609 to 1,295. Wolfs margin of victory was far larger in the rest of the District, especially in Loudoun and Fairfax counties, where he defeated his Democratic challenger by more than a two to one margin. With all but one precinct counted in the District, Wolf had 80,385 votes to Vickery’s 41,394. In only one other county, Warren, was the outcome as close as in Rappahannock. There Wolf defeated Vickery 4,560 to 3,068. President Bush ran far better four years ago against Dukakis in Rappahannock County, winning 1,657 to 1,003. Over the past three presidential elections in Rappahannock, the Republican strength has been waning. President Reagan carried the county in 1984 with 1,696 votes to Mondale’s 999 for 63 per eenLof the. vote. The percentage margin dropped slightly in 1MB when Bush carried the county with 62 per cent of the vote. * This is only the second time since Truman defeated Dewey in 1948 that a Republican has not won a majority of the votes for president in Rappahannock County. The only other time was in 1964 when President Johnson carried Rappahannock County (and Virginia as well) against Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. From the farthest northern reaches of Maine to the Florida Keys, President George Bush’s support on the East Coast was limited to three contiguous states. Virginia threw in its lot with both Carolinas in holding down a small Republican enclave in a region that went strongly and predominantly for change and the Democratic Party, at least on the national level. But was all for naught. Even if Virginians and Carolinians may stumble on the words, it is now President, not Governor Clinton. While George Bush and Dan Quayle lost the White House to the Arkansas governor and running mate A1 Gore, it was not for lack of support in the Old Dominion. Virginians voted significantly if not overwhelmingly —45 percent to 41 percent for the 97 percent of precincts reporting when the Rappahannock News went to press —for the national GOP ticket. “As far as the Clinton victory goes for the United States, I think that it is fantastic,” Fauquier County Democratic Party chairman Rich Galecki said at a victory party at Fergi’s Restaurant in Warrenton when the projected winner of the presidential race was announced at about 9:30 on election night. “It speaks well for the American people, who are ready for change. I think that all of our Democratic workers here in Fauquier County were ready for change and they worked as hard as they could,” Galecki said. “We had a lot of volunteers come out, we had a lot of producSee Voters, Page A-8 Few hear pregnancy warnings By SHARON KILPATRICK ■icli Ncwi Staff WriUr “We think there is a problem with teen pregnancy in this gounty, and it is getting pretty bad/’ high school guidance counselor Joyce Brown told parents at last Tuesday’s workshop on preventing teen pregnancy. Not many heard her, however, since only a handful of parents attended the meeting. Marion Sharp, the county’s public health nurse, echoed Mrs. Brown’s concern. “It's not just pregnancy,” she said. "We have people in their 20s with symptoms of HIV infection. They were infected as teenagers.” Both women agreed that young children are aware of sex because of media influences. Everything from the afternoon soaps to the prime time sit-coms and the evening news is ftill of sex and sexual inuendoe. Many children report they enjoy watching R and X rated movies, Mrs. Brown said. "Kids do not feel the need to wait to be sexually active,” she said. “What’s different now than when you were growing up. Many things that were not acceptable then, are now,” she added.

Bleu Rock expansion wins county's nod By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The proposed Bleu Rock expansion won the unanimous approval of the Board of Supervisors Monday evening with two additional conditions. The Bleu Rock plans to add a new lodge to an existing tenant farm house with 10 additional rooms for overnight guests, a separate banquet facility seating up to 100,58 additional parking spaces, tennis courts and a new stable to replace the one that will be tom down to make room for the banquet hall. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked attorney Douglas Baumgardner if his clients also would be willing to hook up to public water and sewer if it becomes available in the area, and if they would be willing to specify that the 77-acre property would not be subdivided. Mr. Baumgardner consulted with Bleu Rock owners Bernard and Jean Campagne and said they would agree to hook up to public water and sewer if it is available, and that they would agree to come back to the suservisore for an amendment to their special exception if they want to sublivide the property. Mr. Estes said he felt an operaion as large as the one proposed for he Bleu Rock should be buffered by he large tract of land, and he said he elt the commitment to hook into waer and sewer if available could benfit the county. Fanning Baumgardner and Leon lutchinson, neighbors of the Bleu lock Inn, supported the application. Rher supervisors supported the application also saying such a use /ould benefit the county. The ownrs said they did not plan to start onstruction immediately. In the earlier afternoon session he supervisors agreed to purchase a omputer system to be used by the ounty Treasurer and Commissioner Local students ✓isit museum Ruth Purnell of Washington and Timmy Favareau of Flint Hill were unong a group of fourth and fifth jraders visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Oct. 13. The jroup made the day trip to Richmond from Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. ' Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman objects brought to reality :he fifth grade’s study of ancient civilizations and the contents of the fourth grade’s Open Court literature text. The group concentrated their museum visit on the recently renovated Classical Court and the expanded Mary Morton Parsons Gallery, guided by a museum docent. An art studio gave the young people the opportunity to create their own work. Inspired by the floor mosaic of “The Four Seasons,” the centerpiece of the Classical court, the students each made a mosaic to bring home to remember their museum visit. After returning, Ruth commented on the mummy caskets, noting how they contained everything the person would need for the afterlife. Jimmy also was impressed by the caskets, especially the detail painted on the wood. The group will make a second trip to the museum near the end of the year on their return from a scheduled three-day trip to Williamsburg. of Revenue. The current budget included $15,000 for such a system. At budget time County Administrator John McCarthy said he expected to lease-purchase a system over a three to five year period. The computer system, including software, will cost $42,000. There will be an additional charge of $4,000 yearly for updating software, and a five year maintenance agreement costing almost $6,000. The supervisors voted to increase the appropriation in the budget by $40,000 to purchase the system outright instead of buying it over time. The increased appropriation is covered by funds the county has been receiving for taking “fluff’ from Davis Industries at the landfill. Mr. McCarthy said the county had received more than $27,000 in October and expects to get $29,000 this month. Hampton District representative Mike Massie and Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson reported on the first meeting of the Shenandoah National Park Advisory Committee. They, along with Mr. Estes, were appointed to represent the county on the committee last month. Mr. Massie said the committee had representatives from six of the eight counties that border the park. He said that at the first meeting members set out issues to be discussed in the future and elected officers. Mr. Anderson said he got the definite impression that Madison County representatives wanted to use the committee to take issue with the park. “If it gets to be a contest between the counties and the park, we should drop out,” he said. “We don’t have a bad relationship with the park.” Mr. McCarthy said Adelphia Cablevision had provided cable service to Chester Gap customers but wouldn’t provide it to other areas of the county until the main lines are complete. He said the company still expects to have the system completed by December, 1993. Mr. McCarthy also reported that building inspector Richie Van Burke is making more inspections and has been authorized to work overtinie. Mr. Burke is paid to work four days a week, and on that schedule he has fallen behind in making inspections and in getting recertified in some areas. Mr. McCarthy said the increased permit fees will cover the additional time. The supervisors decided not to publish a list of delinquent taxes since the amounts are lower than usual. The supervisors will eat lunch at the elementary school next month and tour the school before starting their December meeting.

At the State Corporation Commission’s public hearing on the rate increase, Edie Falls of Woodville was the first to testify for the local group. “I asked them not to grant the increase and gave suggestions on how REC could conserve the co-op members’ money,” she said. She added that she was very nervous and spoke very fast and that the court reporter who took down all the testimony asked for a copy of her comments. Mrs. Falls added, “I had to testify under oath. I told them the service was not equivalent to the rates we pay, which are the second or third highest in the state. I asked them to continue the investigation of the Rixley substation and to deny the rate increase so they are not rewarded for the poor service.” Robert Anderson, who represents Stonewall-Hawthorn District on the Board of Supervisors and who has many of the co-op’s customers as his constituents, also testified at the hearing. “It was pretty interesting,” he said. “I made a statement that the rate increase was uncalled for.” The customers have alleged that REC’s service is inadequate, including frequent, prolonged power outages and that the co-op’s rates are too high, especially given the level of service. Francis Updike, a former REC manager, has also alleged that the co-op’s management practices are inefficient and cost the ratepayers unnecessarily. Both Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Falls noted that Cecil Viverette, president of REC, admitted that the service provided by the Rixley substation is poor. Both noted also that the commission’s auditor took issue with some of the documentation REC had used to support the rate increase, and both said they suspected the company would get some rate increase, but not as much as they requested. The SCC has 21 days to respond to the application for the rate increase and then the company has another 21 days to respond to the SCC. Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Falls say they hope their presence at the hearing did some good. “I felt so strongly about it, I made myself do this,” Mrs. Falls said.

Audit Bureau Wednesday, November 4,1992 Time for healing On Tuesday, the American people went to the polls and elected Bill Clinton president. Independent Ross Perot, mounting a grass-roots, privately funded effort, garnered a respectable 18 percent of the vote nationwide, and 17 percent in Fauquier County. The mood of American voters was evident in the electoral landslide that propelled Clinton to victory, as well as the significant number of voters who supported Perot, voicing their discontent with the state of politics as practiced by the two nuyor parties. The most telling statistic is the combination of Clinton and Perot votes, 62 percent nationwide (with two-thirds of the vote tallied early Wednesday morning). That signals a profound discontent with President George Bush in particular. But we’re not going to dwell on the negatives. The President-elect and the new Congress have a daunting task on their hands — how to get this country moving again. There seem to be a lot of ideas floating around, but no one is offering any sure answers. There is one sure bet — the fix won’t be easy, and it won’t be painless. Some sacrifices are going to have to be made. « Maybe that was one of the messages sent by American voters — that their desire for change includes a willingness to face up to the country’s deficit and crushing debt. We hope so. Somehow, we think the American people have a lot more courage and willingness to sacrifice than their leaders sometimes give them credit for. Both President Bush and Gov. Clinton were concilatory and positive in their speeches Tuesday evening, and indicated a willingness to work together for the good of the country. If those were not just empty words spoken on Election Eve, we would do well to heed them, and to help our leaders mend their differences, that we might begin to mend our nation’s difficulties. There has been far too much divisiveness in our nation, and it is time for us to begin working together again. America has always brought together people of many varied backgrounds, willing to set aside their differences to work for the common good. It is one of our greatest strengths, and it is one we should cultivate again. NOW THAT THE ELECTIONS ARE CVER WE CAN SIT „„ „ BACK AND ENJOY T.V.

Day's column appreciated To the Editor: Charles Francis attacked Walter Day’s column in the letters to the editor section of your Oct. 28 issue. He finds fault, among other things, with Day’s syntax, his sense of organization, and his tendency to dwell on intensely personal matters. For me, Day’s highly idiosyncratic style makes his column the most interesting piece in the whole newspaper. Too much of what we get in all the public media these days is prefabricated, predigested pap, produced and processed by specialist spin doctors for mass, faceless audiences. If that is what Mr. Francis prefers, let him stick to television. Walter’s column is often funny, even when he doesn’t mean to be, and is always original. Vive la difference! CARLETON COON Woodville PtO thanks volunteers To the Editor: October was a busy month for the Rappahannock County Elementary School PTO. The PTO scheduled a playground work day, Fall Yard Sale, Parent/Teacher Conference dinner, and the Halloween Fun Fair. Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers, dedicated teachers and parents, these activities were a great success. The Yard Sale and the Halloween Fun Fair fundraisers got us closer to our goals: providing the teachers with the necessary teaching aides they have requested on their Wish Lists, and improving the childrens’ playground. The PTO would like to give special thanks to Kirk Hahlgren, Director of the RJR Nabisco Next Century Schools program, for speaking at our Oct. 6 meeting with Project Casper (Computers and Students in Partnership for Educational Rewards). Anyone interested in finding out more about this new approach to teaching and learning is encouraged to contact Mr. Hahlgren at the School Board office. Our November 3, agenda included Capt. Jeff Brown, of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, who spoke on behalf of the D. A.R.E. program (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), and Judy Tole and Joyce Brown of C.C.W.H.Y. (Community Coalition Working for Healthy Youth). Our many thanks for coming out on Election Night to speak about these valuable programs. We applaud your efforts in educating our youth, and their parents, in order to help our children resist the pressures that may influence them. The PTO would like to extend an invitation to all the parents, teachers, and students of Rappahannock County Elementary School, as well as the community, to attend our meetings which are held the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. Plans for future fundraisers and guest speakers are under way and new ideas are always welcome. Babysitting is available thanks to Cindy Andrioni, Troop Leader of Troop 380, and the Girl Scouts, who have generously given up valuable homework time to help out the PTO. We look forward to seeing you. JOAN CULMER PLATT RCES PTO President Va. economic rating begins to climb Standard and Poor's revises forecast for state Standard and Poor’s (S&P) revised its outlook on the Virginia economy from “negative” to “stable” and affirmed its AAA rating on the state’s general obligation debt. In response to the news, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder said, “I am pleased to see Standard and Poor’s acknowledge all we’ve done to put our fiscal house in order and ensure Virginia’s fiscal stability for the future. This re-affirmation of our AAA status should allay any remaining doubts about Virginia’s ability to retire future debts.” Virginia’s economic outlook was downgraded to negative in February 1991 because of the magnitude and duration of the state’s general fund revenue shortfall. This shortfall, claimed S&P, was driven by economic changes, including declines in wage and salary and income growth. The upgrade in the state’s economic outlook to stable reflects the actions taken by the state to correct this revenue/expenditure imbalance. “The rating reflects the commonwealth’s fundamental credit factors, including a diversified economy, a low-debt burden and strong financial management,” said SAP’s Credit Ware. “Management actions taken in the past year and a half (even) contributed to a modest budget-basis fisal 1992 surplus. Through the first Ster of fiscal 1993, actual general revenues slightly exceed projections.” Meanwhile, Wilder noted that the state’s long-term economic and budgetary outlook will be the sub ject of a symposium Nov. 13 at the Richmond Centre. The governor has invited about 900 elected and appointed officials, including Virginia’s congressional delegation, the General Assembly, the governor’s cabinet, state agency heads, presidents of colleges and universities, chairs of many state boards and commissions and chief local elected and appointed officiate. Representatives of the New York-based rating firms, including Standard and Poor’s, have also been invited. Wilder said, “The symposium is an outgrowth of the urban town meetings that Sen. (John) Warner (R-Va.) and I held last spring. It was clear to me at that time that local elected officials need more information on where Virginia is headed, economically and financially. The same applies to our state agency officials.” Wilder said state government officials need to have a clear sense of the short- and long-term fiscal outlook as they begin to plan for the 1994-96 budget. “It is my hope,” said the governor, “that the symposium will facilitate an ongoing, productive dialogue among all levels of government as we address the challenges of the 1990a.” The symposium agenda includes introductory remarks by the governor, followed by presentations on the national economic outlook and the federal budget outlook. In announcing the agenda, Wilder observed, “I am delighted that among our distinquished speak era will be Larry Chimerine and Allen Schick. Both are hihgly regarded national experts. I believe that broad perspectives on the directions of the U.S. economy and of federal spending will give state and local officials a better sense of the realities that will face us in the 1990s.” Chimerine is senior economic adviser to DRI/McGraw Hill, the largest economic consulting firm is the world. He is also a fellow at the Economic Strategy. Institute in Washington, D.C., and has followed Virginia’s budget closely over the last 10 years. Schick is a professor of public policy at the University of Maryland and an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He is also a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. The national speakers will be followed by Secretary of Finance Paul Timmreck, who will examine the • current short- and long-term economic forecasts for Virginia. Budget Director Karen F. Washabau will discuss the budgetary foces that will shape state spending during the 1990s. Va. Blues get AA-rating Standard & Poor’s Eating Group has assigned a rating of AA- to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia. The strong rating was based on the insurance company’s financial performance and strong capital position. Insurers rated AA offer excellent financial security, according to S&P. In its rating summary, S&P noted tha the mutual insurance company is the dominant health insurer ui Virginia,, claiming approximately 35 percent of the market. With its wholly-owned subsidiaries in health-insurance related businesses, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia operates in 40 states and the District of Columbia. The insurance rating group also noted that Blue Gross and Blue Shield of Virignia has been a lowcost insurer through its “excellent underwriting skills and its strong emphasis on managed care.” As evidence of this success, the company’s managed care programs saved Virginians more than $600 million in health care costs in 1991, This means policyholders would have paid 30 percent more for health care without these programs* in place. * • •* I Through the strength of its njarket share, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia has been able to negotiate favorable prices vtfth health care providers that help control health costs for consumers, the rating service said.

— . itics: The name game By JOHN GOOLRICK Bug|A|M«fyybL O—.2 — 1 Ml—IA » — MppinannocN iwri npcciii writer I had planned to devote this column to pre-election analysis, although I have to admit I wasn’t all that enthused about it since every other political writer in the state was doing the same thing. Then I saw the car that had a bumper sticker on it that read: “Bill Dolan for Virginia Attorney General.” Now that intrigued me. Bill Dolan was offering himself to the voters of our state in 1993 for the exalted position of Attorney General of Virginia. That was a valuable piece of information. Except I had no idea at all who the heck was Bill Dolan. Since I had recently seen the people who were seeking the Republican nomination for attorney general I figured that Dolan was not a member of that party. So my guess was that he is a Democrat. I knew also that Dolan was neither a member of the United States Congress nor the Virginia General Assembly. And it did not take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that he is well-known only to his family and friends and that approximately 99 and three fourths of the people of Virginia whom he seeks to serve have never heard of Bill Dolan. Vet Bill Dolan, providing he is an attorney who can practice in Virginia, has a constitutional right to run for an office now occupied by Mary Sue Terry who wishes to be elected governor next year. After seeing the bumper sticker, I started imaging that Bill Dolan had hired me as his campaign manager for the longshot candidacy. Since he has roughly the name identification of the unknown soldier, what could I do to propel him to victory? The first priority would be getting the nomination and he would not need vast name ID for that. , Bill Dolan, as he probably is now doing, would start ’ showing up for every chicken dinner or local meeting • held by Democrats. He would have to say over and over and over, “Hi, I’m Bill Dolan and I’m running for attorney general and I could sure use your help.” Then he would give out a small brochure with a biog\ raphy of himself and all the reasons he wants to be attorney general such as consumer protection and . helping the average man and woman. Any time Bill met someone who showed the slightest glimmer of interest in his campaign he would take their name and immediately send them a thank you note, asking for their help in getting other Democrats to back him. He would need a few fund raisers so he could hire staff to help turn out troops Virginia Through Both Barrels for Democratic mass meetings where delegates would be chosen to the all-important state convention in June, 1993. Now let’s say against all odds Bill Dolan was put in nomination at the convention and beat out two or three opponents who were better financed. He is the party’s nominee and because of the publicity considerably better known than before, but still someone that roughly 88 percent of Virginians have still never heard of. The bottom line is that Bill Dolan would have to raise at least a couple of million dollars to pay my salary as campaign manager and more importantly to pay for a few hundred 30-second television spots which might get him to the point before election day where half the population of Virginia recognizes his name from somewhere, though they may not be sure why they’ve heard it. Sounds easy enough unless you try to do it. Mary Sue Terry, for instance, raised a half million in one night not long ago, but that’s because of her long experience in public life and powerful backers. Bill Dolan starts out a cipher though he is on the right track in getting bumper stickers on vehicles. After all, I recognize the name Bill Dolan now and that he is a candidate for one of the three highest offices in the state of Virginia. Good luck Bill Dolan wherever you are. And finally I might as well toss in a bit of preelection analysis. President Bush will carry Virginia though Ross Perot’s presence may narrow the race. Six Democrats and five Republicans will be elected to Congress, though the split might be seven to five if one closely contested race tilts Democratic. State bonds will pass but relatively narrowly in this volatile anit-spending year. (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is an aide to U.S. Rep. George Allen, R-7th Dist. Opinions expressed are his oum and not necessarily those of this newspaper.) Diet: Pain or chocolate mousse? I just went to the refer and got some cream cheese, then to the shelf for the saltines and it occurred to me what the doctor said just last week. He had said it many times before. You must lose weight, stay away from fats. He said when'you have a craving reach for a carrot. Haw! That may work for him but my stomach did not say, “I want a carrot,” it said, “I want some cheese and crackers.” I know that is what my stomach said. I was there! The doctor handed me a book. The title: “Lose Weight the Happy Way.” Come on; I was not born yesterday. Those two things do not go together. Diet, and happy! I told him the story about what the farmer said when the fast talking salesman showed him the book on scientific farming, said it would increase his production and reduce his costs. The farmer said, “Young fella, I aint farmin as well as I know how now.” Same here, the last thing I need is a new diet or a new book. I know how now. I said “doctor, I know how to lose weight. You quit eating and start hurting. There is no other way.” If you have a doctor that thinks salads are satisfying, has never tasted cheese cake or a chocolate mousse, Day By Day and finds picking up rocks all day exhilarating, you not going to get any sympathy. Often the only sane answer to this sort of problem is to change doctors. In 1976 I was 25 lbs. overweight. By sheer will power I lost 21 lbs. in 21 days. Then a guy at the office invited me out to lunch, which I had proudly been forgoing for three weeks. The man was an executive of high place in the business. I could not refuse. Then at lunch he recommended the custard. What could I do? I went to lunch from then on, at that restaurant and had that custard for three straight years. I was then 35 lbs. overweight. Came 1982 and retirement was nearing. I went to Pritikin. This a place for heart patients who need to find a new way of life, which consists of pain, brought about by diet and exercise. Since I happened to have the money and a heart I went. Two weeks and 14 pounds later I was slim and happy. I continued the program until a son came to live with me. Well any mother can tell you, these children should have good solid food. I happen to be a good cook and you can’t cook without partaking of it. You know what these growing young people need? Liver and bacon, mashed potatoes and gravy, string beans with little pork in it for flavor, lemon meringue pie. I was soon 40 pounds overweight. (The son never gained a pound!) There were interim efforts that failed. In ’91 I decided that the only real effective method had to cost money. I went to a fat farm in Durham, N.C., for two weeks. I lost 10 lbs. at a cost of $200 a pound. I am now 45 lbs. overweight. Or is it 50? The questions is: Would I weigh the same if I had never made an effort and never spent a penny?

Baumgardner, of Washington, is one of 22 seniors at the Virginia Military Institute to be named to the current issue of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.” The group was selected by a facultycadet committee on the basis of academic and extracurricular records and general contributions to VMI. Cadet Baumgardner, a dean’s list student in economics, also is academically distinguished, a recognition signifying outstanding academic achievement beyond that of dean’s list standing. Cadet Baumgardner was graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria before entering VMI. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. F.M. Baumgardner, of Route 1, Washington. The Rappahannock County Elementary School is sponsoring a student book fair from October 23 to 27.

But the superintendent can claim an exemption from disclosure for his working papers only as long as those papers are not dissemanted to the school board, the state’s chief law enforcement officer emphasized. The ruling was sought by Rappahannock’s commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner after the Rappahannock News filed a formal complaint alledging that the school board was in violation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. The News had requested copies of two architectural reports and budget analysis on the combination bus maintenance facility-central office and a report on the indexed salary scale currently under consideration. The board denied thd requests. Subsequently, a copy of the salary scale proposal was turned over the to the News but with the proviso that the release was voluntary and not required under the Freedom Information Act. -‘Pneaeute*93 FORD TAURUS • ’93 MERCURY SABLE EXCEPTIONAL VALLE I COMFORT ★ CONVENIENCE A SAFETY *93 TAURUS GL SEDAN Front Wheel Drive 3.0 Liter V6 Engine Automatic Overdrive Air Conditioning Power Windows Speed Control Tilt Steering Wheel 6-Wav Power Seat AM/FM Stereo w/Cassette Power Door Locks Light Group Rear Defroster GL Decor Group Dual Air Bags Anti-Lock Brakes Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price before Discount Preferred Equipment Package Discount Culpeper Ford-Mercury Discount Factory Rebate STOCKI260 *16,976 *20,176 - 700 - 2,000 - 500 Delivered Price Includes FreightOnly Taxes & Tags Extra Red Carpel Lease " I ho I o;iso \ <mi ( ;iii llo" si»i;< i \i. s \\ i\(.s on ici<:>i CULPEPER FORD-MERCURY RT. 29 SOUTH ■ CULPEPER, VA. • 703-547-FORD

Piedmont United Way fund struggles to close donor gap Pledges 'slow' compared to last year BY STEVE CAMPBELL Rappahannock Newt Special Writer The lingering affects of a national scandal and a slow start to the fundraising year has the Piedmont United Way struggling to catch up in order to meet its goal of $190,000 in pledges by Thanksgiving. Piedmont United Way, which represents a fivecounty region including Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties, officially began its 1993 fimdraising season in August. With three weeks remaining to collect pledges, the agency has only received 30.5 percent of its goal or $58,000. This time last year, PUW was 41 percent of the way completed with $71,000 in pledges collcted toward a goal of $175,000. “We are not where we should be,” said Betty Roberts, Pew’s executive director. Ms. Roberts said a combination of a bad economy, the bad publicity from last year’s national United Way scandal, and a slow start to this year’s fundraising are all reasons why giving is down this year. Though giving is down, Ms. Roberts said the needs this year are as high as ever. “We are seeing a much greater need than last year. I would say that needs are up well over 50 percent of what they were last year,” Ms. Roberts said. PUW chairman Francis Burns said its important for county residents to realize that their giving enables many other agencies, such as the Fauquier Temporary Family Shelter, to meet the needs area families. Stefanie van Gulden, of the shelter, said without the contribution of Piedmont United Way, her organization would not be able to provide emergency assistance to homeless families. Fauquier Temporary Family Shelter provides longer-term transitional housing, homeless prevention, housing counseling and support to area residents. The PUW’s annual contribution to the shelter provides approximately 10 percent of its budget. The funds are used to provide emergency services such as medical and dental care, uniforms for jobs, and even auto repairs. “We’ve had to funnel a lot of our United Way money into emergency services,” Ms. van Gulden said. Also, PUW’s contribution provides funding for a case manager without whom “I quite honestly don’t see how we can run the program,” she said. Lynda Reuter, director of Facility for Occupational Rehabilitative Enterprises Inc., in Remington, said PUW’s funding allows her agency to provide services to clients who are not covered by other state or federal funding sources. FORe offers vocational evaluation, work adjustment training and sheltered employment of handicapped individuals. United Way campaign Amount pledged as of Oct. 30 Rappahannock News Graphic/John Bretschneider The money also alows FORE to provide outside work for its clients. Piedmont United Way supports 30 organizations in its five-county region. The organizations include a food pantry, a day care center for seniors, literacy programs, youth clubs, legal services and a mediation center. The Grace Miller Child Care center and Shadow Lawn Day Care for Seniors are two Warrenton agencies which receive assistance from the Piedmont United Way. With Piedmont United Way, Bums said, area residents who work outside the county have a way to send their contributions on the job back to Fauquier County. Last year, PUW received last year $39,863 from the combined federal campaign, which is the federal government’s United Way effort, and $29,304 from people who make workplace contributions as private companies. “This way they can designate their dollars back to agencies in their community,” Bums said. Bums said he and other PUW officials have been visiting local businesses to encourage the payroll deduction in the workplace. Piedmont United Way, according to Bums, disapproves of coercive tactics in soliciting donations.

The independent Perot garnered 127 votes, to 119 for Gov. Bill Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and 110 for President George Bush. Andre Marou, the Libertarian candidate, received three votes. Neither Lenora Falani nor Lyndon LaRouche received any votes in the high school poll. Perot carried the eighth, ninth and tenth grades. Clinton was the choice of the juniors and faculty and staff, while the seniors split evenly between Bush and Clinton. The mock election was planned and carried out by Dennis Wingfield’s government classes. Mr. Wingfield praised the students’ efforts saying the work had been done by 60 students who took care of seeing that everyone was registered, manned the polls before classes started and at lunch time and counted the ballots after the polls closed. Students, who were automat^ ’u ically registered by homeroom, put the national electorate to shame «X when 83 percent voted. For the faculty and staff the figures were even more impressive as 100 percent of 43 voted. «os The high schoolers only voted in the presidential race. They did not vote on the other four ballots that - county voters faced Tuesday. . • a. — By SHARON KILPATRICK ^ ►Teens From Page A-l Mrs. Sharp agreed saying, “There is much less stigma now with teen-aged pregnancy.” She says she even sees girls who are eager to get pregnant. Sometimes they see that as a way to get out of an troubled home situation, she said. Mrs. Brown reported that surveys show even more girls than boys say they are pressured by their peers to be sexually active. Mrs. Sharp said, “What we’d like to see is abstinence. It has all the advantages: no guilt, avoiding pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, waiting until they are in a commited relationship. It should be encouraged and stressed, but a lot of my clients are already sexually active. Some girls who are going steady feel they are in love.” She said the health department has a family planning clinic in which girls are treated confidentially. The parents are not informed when their teenagers are treated. The clinic can provide a variety of birth control methods including Norplant, which will prevent pregnancy for five years. She noted that like birth control pills, however, it does nothing to stop transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Mrs. Sharp believes the Family Life Curriculum should give students information about birth control methods. “Is that a double standard?” she asked. “If they know about it, that doesn’t mean they have to use it now. There is so much misunderstanding of contraception with both teenagers and womeiy They need to get good information. € Mrs. Brown said the articles about teen aged pregnancy in the Rappahannock News last summer got “a lot of attention. Students were saying what business is it of yours?” She said many students feel that as a guidance counsellor she should be concerned only with helping them schedule classes and get into college. “But it is our business,” she said. “With teenagers and premarital births, 73 percent will go on welfare; 71 percent will stay on at least four years. It is our business because we’re paying to support those children.” Mrs. Sharp asked, “What do you think we can do to prevent this? It should start at home. Take every opportunity to talk to your children. If you’re not communicating, you can’t start with sex.” She recommended that parents pick up hand-outs on preventing teen pregnancy available in the back of the room. Mrs. Brown suggested that parents try to keep their teens busy. “Know what they’re doing and who they’re doing it with,” she said. “A lot of girls are in very serious relationships very young. Girls in eighth to tenth grades are dating guys out of high school. High school boys are dating girls in the elementary school,” she added.

She also suggested churches form parent-teen discussion groups*# Studies show teen agers with strong,,* religious values are less likely to be sexually adive, she said.

Financial Corp. and its subsidiary, J The Peoples National Bank of Warrenton, announced third quarter I earnings for the bank. S For the first nine months of the J year, the bank has earned $750,000 versus a loss of $396,000 for the same period in 1991. The primary reasons for the im- ’ provement were increases in net in- 3 terest and fee income, a reduction in | loan loss provision*; and an extraor- j dinary trust income item, Martin * said.

Board lobbies representatives for support of Extension funds By SHARON KILPATRICK Hiurtmiwt Ncm Staff Writer The county Extension Advisory Committee and Board of Supervisors. lobbied two of Rappahannock’s representatives to the General Assembly at lunch Monday. Del. Jerry Wood, D-31st., who repj"esents the county in the House of Delegates, and Sen. Edgar Robb, R-25th Dist., who represents Stonewall-Hawthorn District in the state Senate, heard presentations about services provided by the Extension Settee to residents and youth of the county. Helen Smith, Home Economics Extension agent, gave a talk on the background of the Extension Service and let others tell about how they benefit from programs provided by the extension service. Alex Sharp talked about the help orchardists receive from regualr meetings in orchards in Rappahannock and Madison counties during -the spring and summer. Marie Davis talked about the Women’s Financial Information Program that has been presented twice through the homemakers clubs. Mrs. Davis said the program will be offered again in the spring. Randall Updike talked about the help beef producers receive from the Extension Service. Greg Williams talked about how he has benefited from participating in the 4-H teen club and livestock club. Kelly Lawler talked about her experiences with the teen club and at 4-H camp, and John Mallory talked about the community 4-H clubs. County Administrator John McCarthy, who represents county government on the advisory committee, noted that the county has had two Extension agents but has only one now since agriculture agent Thomas Williams left for another job. Mr. McCarthy said that the advisory committee will interview applicants to replace Mr. Williams but the position is only funded through June. Del. Wood and Sen. Robb both said that cards and letters from constituents had helped win funding for the Extension Service last year and urged people to continue to send such letters. Sen. Robb urged those asking for support for the program to send the letters and postcards to the chairmen of the finance committees in.both houses. Both men said they were former 4-H members and support 4-H activities, but warned that rural areas have less influence in the General Assembly than they had a few years ago. Ames stores to close in 1993 Retailer's shut-down axes 115 jobs in area By STEVE CAMPBELL Time*-Democrat Staff Writer The Ames stores in Warrenton and Manassas are among 16 statewide slated for closing early next year. Ames Department Stores Inc., of Rocky Hill, Conn., on Oct. 30 announced the closings of 14 Ames stores and two Crafts & More stores in the state. The closings affects 800 employees statewide. Locally, Sandra Porubsky, manager of the Ames store in the Warrenton Town Center on Frost Aveune, said, her store “definitely” was one of the 60 from around the country to close. The Warrenton department store, which opened in 1986, currently employs 51 people. The Manassas store employs 64. .Both businesses will remain open and fully stocked throughout the Christmas shopping season. .“We will continue regular business hours through Dec. 29,” Ms. Porubsky said. The stores will open in January and begin a “going out of business” sale which will continue for two months until March. Ames spokesman Bill Roberts said Monday that the displaced workers will be given a severance package of one to six weeks based upon length of service. Roberts said the company was closing stores that were “either not contributing enough profit, were not profitable, or were geographicly outside our core market for the future.” The closings are part of a bankruptcy court reorganization plan and will help finance the company’s reorganization. A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge in New York approved a disclosure statement Thursday which included details of the reorganization plan and which must be approved by creditors next month, according to published reports. In addition to the stores in Vir ginia, Ames is closing all of its stores in Michigan and 10 stores in Maryland. Approximately 3,500 workers will affected nationwide. Other stores in Virginia to close, in addition to those in Warrenton and Manassas, are those in Gloucester, Newport News, Norfolk, Onley, Richmond, Smith field, Virginia Beach and Williamburg. The company will keep six stores open Virginia. Brad Cederahl, of Gates, Hudson & Associates, which manages the Town Centre, said the company had been aware of the Ames’ difficulties and although it hasn’t been formally notified that the store is closing was not surprised by the announcement. “We have been making contingency plans and are working with several interested prospects,” Cederahl said. He said the shopping center plans to replace Ames with another “retail” operation, though he would not elaborate on what companies where interested in the space.

One more ballot I Building a learning community' is topic of educators' conference The second annual Rappahannock Educators’ Conference is set for Saturday, Nov. 14, at the high school. The conference, organized by Laurie Marshall and sponsored by the elemental school PTO, is designed to bring together teachers from various schools in the area to exchange ideas. The theme of this year’s conference is “Creating the Learning Community.” The all-day program will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a talk by Starla Jewell-Kelly, director of the National Association of Community Education. This organization is a network joining communities that are bringing together educators, the business community, and social services to promote education, Ms. Marshall explained. , This talk will be followed by a selection from “The Slabtown Convention,” a dramatic production put on by the local black community last spring to raise money for the Julia Boddie scholarship. Mrs. Boddie and Dorothy Butler will talk about a drama as the creation of a learning community. These presentations will be followed by a series of workshops with additional presentations by teachers from the elementary school, high school, Wakefield School in Marshall, a homeschooler, and employees from the Faith Mountain Company on their partnership with Lord Fairfax Community College for continuous learning. Two morning workshop sessions will be followed by a bag lunch and two additional afternoon sessions. Ms. Marshall said those attending will not have to miss anything as all sessions will be videotaped. There is no charge, no pre-registration and the conference is open to all, but parents and teachers are particularly urged to come for all or part of the day.

Use fall leaves for low-cost mulch If you live in a wooded subdivision like I do, I don’t have to tell you about leaves. Somewhere under the layer that covers my yard I have a lawn, but it won’t be visible again for some time. Like most of my neighbors, I burn some of my leaves, especially those that foil in the front yanl. It’s easier to rake them onto the side of the road and burn them than it is to haul them away. However, I do try to “recycle” a good portion of my leaves. Leaves have many uses, and how you decide to use them may depend on how many you have and what types of gardening you do. As more communities ban leaves from landfills and restrict burning in developed areas, more people will have to find other options for disposing of or using their leaves. Composting is the first method that comes to mind. As leaves break down, they will form rich compost that is a great soil amendment and a pretty good source of nutrients. By themselves, leaves are pretty slow to break down. A pile of leaves may take one to two years to decompose. The reason is that brown materials like leaves are very high in carbon, and this slows down the process. By mixing a little nitrogen with the leaves, the process will speed up. This helps the microorganisms, mainly bacteria and fungi, that are responsible for decomposition. There are several ways to add nitrogen to a pile of leaves to speed up the composting process. One of the best is to add green The Backyard Farmer mvmm mm Chuck Hoysa materials like grass clippings. Green plant material is high in nitrogen, and a mixture of green and brown materials will decompose much faster than either one alone. Many gardening and reference books make a big deal about carbon to nitrogen ratios and make composting sound too complicated. It really isn’t hard. All we need to remember is that almost anything will eventually break down, and, if we have the right mix, it will break down faster. The problem with the fall season is that we have an abundance of leaves, but may have little if any grass clippings to add. You can simply pile up the leaves in a storage area and add grass clippings next spring. If you aren’t set up to collect clippings, add another source of nitro gen — either organic or in organic fertilizer—to your leaves. If you only have a light covering of leaves on the lawn, pick them up with the mower if you have a bagger. It may take a while to mow the lawn this way because you have to stop so often, but the resulting mixture, of leaves and clippings is ideal for composting. I used this method once last fall, and made a pile of leaves and clippings about waist high. Even with the cool fall temperatures, the pile heated up within two days so that you couldn’t keep your hand in it very long. Also, by running over leaves with a mower, or running them through a shredder, they will decompose faster because the smaller pieces expose more surface area to the microorganisms. If you have a leaf blower that also converts to a vacuum, you have a great tool for shredding leaves. This is especially handy for those hard to reach places that a mower or rake won’t get. The piles you start this fall won’t be ready to use until next summer or fall. You should definitely notice the piles get smaller as time goes on. Frequent turning of the pile allows oxygen to enter and speeds up the process. Adding compost to a garden improves the soil and adds nutrients. You’ll probably still have to add fertilizer to the garden unless you produce enough finished compost to cover the entire area a few inches deep. Also, there is some good evi dence that compost helps fight off some common soil-borne disease problems. If composting is not your cup of tea, there are other uses for leaves. They can be spread on a garden site and turned under to break down over winter. This is good method of adding organic matter to the soil; however, they won’t break down in time for early crops like lettuce, onions, and peas. You’ll have to rake the area thoroughly to remove the undecomposed remains, or risk having a population explosion of slugs. But, if broken down by the time warm-season vegetables and flowers are ready to plant in May. Another use for leaves is as mulch. Trees, shrubs, and garden beds can be mulched in the fall with leaves. As they break down they will enrich the soil. Chopped leaves tend to pack down a little better and are less prone to blow away. However, I’ve found that in an exposed area, nothing will keep them from blowing away before the winter is over. I hope everyone will try recycling at least a portion of their leayes this year. If you don’t have any leaves, I’m sure your friends and neighbors will give you all you want.

Ross Perot finished a distant third in the election — nationally, serosa the state, and in Rapimhannock. By early Wednesday morning, with 67 percent of precints reporting across the nation. Pen* had garnered 18 percent of the |>opular vote. He did not do quite so well in Rappahannock, stumbling to 1*» |iercent, while falling still further across the Commonwealth as a whole, taking only 14 percent of the ballots. Bill Still, chairman of the 10th District Perot campaign, said that the election results wen* not totally disappointing from his vantage. “We were hoping that In* would do better," Still conceited. “hut we still represent a sizable voting block ... and hopefully we can do something with that in the futun*." Still said that Perot had indicated that he would continue to support the United We Stand gn»up that iormen alter tne candidate s July defection from the fray, ami added that if Clinton was blessed with presidential vision he would appoint Perot to his cabinet. |N*rhaps as Secretary of Commerce. If Virginia Republican voters lost the war, they at least won some of the battles. Tenth I bstrict Republican incumbent congressman Frank Wolf served as a reminder of the good ole days of the (MU’ in Fauquier, easily winning a seventh term, his first as a representative for Fauquier. Wolf defeated Democratic challenger Ray Vickery in the newly-drawn 10th district hv 5,144 votes, taking 63 percent of the votes to 34 percent for the challenger. Wolfs victory cek'bration in Northern Virginia was tempered by the national loss. “I think, if anything, the House might be a little more Republican this time around,” he said Tuesday night, “hut things will certainly be different under a Democratic administration. “I think that we are going to miss President Bush, es|)ecially in the realm of foreign affairs ami as commander-in-chief. Some of his accomplishments —the end of communism and the fall of the> Berlin Wall, for instance — are historic, ami I think that we were very fortunate to have him for four years,” Wolf said. Wolf said that he will continue to work hard for local issues for the residents of Rappahannock, as he has done for his Northern Virginia constituents during the |>ast six terms. Vickery’s characterization of him as a “pothole congressman" didn’t work, Wolf said, and may even have benefited his fight for the House seat. “People want to feel as though they have a champion working for them on local issues in the Congress,” he said. For his part, Vickery may not be ready nor content to ride quietly into the sunset. “Obviously I take great pleasure in the election of Bill Clinton and A1 Gore,” Vickery said by telephone from Fair Oaks, as results were becoming known. “It is regretable that the people of Virginia have not seen clear to make a choice for change,” he said, “and I think that will be proven to be very short-sighted for the 10th District and for the Commonwealth. But I am committed to further these issues in the district and throughout Virginia,” Vickery added. The Vienna lawyer said that he would do everything that he could to “make Clinton be the best president he can be, and make this administra Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 12 Noon Combo Ads (Two or more papers) Monday, 3 p.m. Real Estate Combo Ads Friday, 3 p.m. Rappahannock News Tuesday, 12 Noon Horse & Farm Monday, 12 Noon Combo Word Ads and Classified Display Monday, 3 p.m. tion the best it can be,” and did ndi deny that there might be a place fof him in the Clinton government. Independent Alan Ogden said that, historically, third-party candidates in Virginia rarely get anything in terms of votes in a three-way race, and he could not be displeased with his showing. However, Ogden only collected 116 votes out of 3,193 ballots cast. “Clinton is going to be coming in with virtually no mandate at all,” Ogden said, “and if he wants to run this country he is not going to be able to do it by doing the things he has been talking about in the campaign. He is going to have to do it by getting the Federal Reserve bank under control, which is what I have been talking about all along, * he said. A more important victory toward which he had been worlang, Ogden said, was the defeat of the death penalty referendum in the nation’s canital. Clinton’s victory will be certifies) by the Electoral College in Decern* ber, and he will take the oath of of* flee in January. During his concession speech, President Bush pledged his help in making the tran? sition of power as smooth as possible. County voters solidly supported amending the constitution to allow a surplus to develop in good years? The vote total was 2,037 to 999. The three bond issues received different levels of support in Rappahannock County. The $95.4 million bond issue for state parks and recre? ational facilities carried 1,676 tQ 1,253. /'• The second bond issue. $45.1 million for mental health facilities was approved by 1,788 to 1,090. TK4 third issue, $472.4 million for higher education won a solid two-thirds of the vote, 1,920 to 945. <! Statewide results show the bonds* passed by a 2-to-l margin as did thd amendment to the Virginia Consti? tution calling for a “rainy day” fund. * In Fauquier County. 10,417, oi 62 percent, voted for the $95.4 mil? lion for parks and recreation and 6,271 voted no. That bond means al» most $200,000 for Sky Meadow State Park in that county’s northwest corner. Across the state. 67 percent of Virginia voters agreed with the parks and recreation bond. 68 percent with the mental health bond and 73 percent with the education bond. According to poll results,1,253,555 Virginians voted for the parks and recreation bond, 1,209,082 voted for the mental health bond an<| 1,321,058 voted for the education bond. The constitutional amendment passed with 1,337,354 votes. The Virginia General Assembly in its next session will amend the state’s constitution to include theRevenue Stabalization or ’rainy dayt - fund. £ During times when the state i$ doing well the fund “would accumulate money in years when revenues grow at above-average rates and could be appropriated in years wheft revenues fall short of forecasts,* according to the language of the referendum. According to the State Board of Elections, this amendment is impoi* tant because it allows the state te! save revenues instead of Bpending tax revenues as it receives them. Residents are expected to reap great benefits with the three bond issues, including about 3,600 new jobs, generating $22 million in addition general-fund revenues. The most lobbied for of the three was the education bond, to benefit the state’s public colleges and universities. The $472.4 million bond will fund 95 projects, 59 of which will add space for students and faculty, 27 projects would include renovations to existing facilities and nine will improve existing utilities and infrastruture. About $75.9 million is slated for community colleges throughout the state. The second largest receipient is George Mason University with $47 million. The largest single educational project is the Medical Sciences Building at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Also included is Phase I of the College of Global Studies, the only one of its kind in the United States, at Radford University in Radford. \ Educators have complained that; state cuts are hurting higher education facilities, which have increased tuition to students substantially to offset the decreases. Despite the lack of state-supj ported capital improvements at cob leges and universities, student membership has increased by 40,000 and is expected to increase by 65,00$ by the year 2000. The state’s mental health facili* ties have also lacked an increase in financial support. The Northern Vir* ginia Mental Health Institute should receive about $6.1 million to build { 60-bed addition and other inw provements. -* It will also receive a portion of the $18 million given to institution^ throughout the state for new food service systems.

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds Wednesday, November 4,1992 Rappahannock News Soho Center aids ^day-care centers Firm offers providers training support By SUSETTE RITENOUR Rappahannock Neva Special Writer While rich in rolling green hills and all that accommodates the quiet life, Fauquier and other "rural” counties aren’t so rural that their working folk don’t need some urban amenities, such as day care, a growing need in single-parent families and when both parents work. In an effort to increase the availability, quality and safety of family day-care, a Haywood, Va., firm has established the Comprehensive Child initiative to help day-care providers in the Northern Piedmont become licensed, get federal aid, receive free safety equipment and acquire trainings The Soho Center, a non-profit organization that started in New York, serves Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange, Albemarle, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Page and Rockingham counties. According to Jeanna Gollobin Beker, Soho’s founder and director, she moved the firm from New York to Virginia to improve her own quality of life. Now she’s trying to help day-care operators improve theirs. “I love it here. My husband and I wanted to live here and raise our family here. We knew these services would be needed in Virginia as well,” she said. The Soho Center, which stands for Southern Hospitality, focuses on advising family daycare facilities instead of large day care centers. Mrs. Beker said nearly 45 per. cent of all the state’s children are in family day-care, full-time or after-school day-care. She defines family day-care as individuals operating a small business out of their homes. “Some women have children and then take in a few more to earn money. Other times it’s family members taking care of nieces and nephews,” she said. “The number of people doing -this is considerably higher in rural areas where there are basically no large-scale alternative, day-care centers, to family day. care,” she said. She said in Fauquier County there are 4,702 children from infants to five years old who may need full-time care, but only 527 ftiU-time child-care slots. “Virginia has very few trained (and very few approved, registered, or licensed) family daycare providers compared to the actual number of people providing child care in home settings 'Some women have children and then take in a few more to earn money. Other times it's family members taking care of nieces and nephews.' —Jeanna Beker throughout the state,” said Mrs.' Baker. Also, she said the state receives less than its share of U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Program money distributed to the Commonwealth. “Tlie USDA Food Program is part of the National School Lunch Act and provides reimbursements for the healthy meals and snacks that family day-care providers serve children,” she said. According to her findings, only about 10 percent of the total eligible family day-care providers in Virginia are on the USDA Food Program, which is true for Fauquier as well. “Soho Center has positioned itself to change some of these realities through training, registering family day-care providers, initiating USDA Food Program reimbursements, and distributing free home and safety equipment,” said Mrs. Beker. “Everything we do is free, at no cost to the family day-care provider,” she said. According to Mrs. Beker, the cost-sharing is between the Soho Center, funding from several government agencies, contributions from regional employers and organizations, use of volunteers and sharing of administra 'Virginia has very few trained family day-care providers compared to the actual number of people providing care in home settings throughout the state/ —Jeanna Beker tive, overhead and capital costs. The child-care initiative, said Mrs. Beker, will affect hundreds of family day-care providers and thousands of children at all economic levels. The initiative provides the following: • Support services — provides free home safety devices, injury prevention information, tax information, business advice and help with obtaining a license; • Training — gives family daycare providers and other childcare staff professional development on child care skills; • Resource and referral service — helps working parents find and select child-care throughout the region, helps place children with family day-care providers; • Child-care resource library —provides books on parent education, child care, early childhood education and after-school programs to are professionals; • A newsletter — this is sent to families and day care providers throughout the state; • USDA Food Program — helps day-care providers join this program ensures nutritious meals and snacks for children in child care; provides added support with a financial reimbursement; • Toy and book library —gives children in family day-care carefully selected educational items as an alternative to television; • Model early childhood program — gives community a highquality nursery school-demonstration project. In Fauquier County, day-care providers can ask the Soho Center for safety equipment and help with licensing and joining the USDA Food Program. The library resources aren’t easy for Fauquier residents to use but Mrs. Beker said she hopes to change that if Virginia’s General Assembly decides to increase the center’s funding. Mrs. Beker said that almost all family day-care providers have taken advantage of the free safety equipment and about 40 to 50 have used other services Soho provides this summer. “Signing up for the program is easy, about one hour. We will work with the initial paperwork to establish monthly records, will offer nutritional advice and menu planning and arrange for periodic home visits as well as issue food reimbursements on a monthly basis,” she said. There is no income eligibility requirement for the day-care providers or the children under their care. For more information call the Soho Center at 703-923-5012. Colonial costumes in need of repair Beginning with the Bicentennial pageant at Montpelier in 1976, a dedicated group of Rappahannock County residents has worked valiantly to preserve the costumes worn annually on July 4th. The cosutmes were created from many resources. For example, with the addition of English chiffon and silk roses, Dorothy Davis’s ball gown became one of the finest costumes in the repertoire. The demise of this fine dress reminds us that the combined efforts of many are needed to continue this Rappahannock tradition. With Colonial Christmas almost upon us, the mad scramble has begun to repair, if at all possible, the remaining costumes. Sam O’Connor, long the custodian and general caretaker of these costumes, needs willing and able volunteers to locate appropriate material and help with the sewing and general repair work. Without this help the Colonial Dancers and other volunteers will find it dificult to appear in costume next month for the Colonial Christmas celebration on Dec. 5 and 6. For more information, call Mrs. O’Connor, 675-3283. The Colonial Christmas Committee, at P.O. Box 518, Washington, Va., also needs support. Tara Welty, Nancy Massey and Nicholas Bishof dress up in colonial costumes to celebrate the Fourth of July’s bicentennial in 1976. Infamous Mosby's Rangers will ride THE PLAINS — The clash of sabers and the yells of mounted cavalry will once again penetrate the serene rolling hills of Northern Virginia where Confederate Col. John S. Mosby carried out his historic and famous raids on Union supply lines. A re-enactment commemorating Mosby’s raids will be held at Great Meadow, The Plains, on Nov. 7 and 8. More than 600 re-activated Civil War troops, including cavalry, infantry and artillery, will re-create the historic raids of Mosby’s Rangers from 1861-1865. In September of 1864, Union General Phillip Sheridan assigned General George Crook the task of eliminating Mosby. Crook immediately assigned 100 troops to a special task force armed with the new 7-shot repeater Spencer Rifle. The unit became known as Blazer’s Scouts for its unit commander, Capt. Richard Blazer. Blazer started tracking Mosby in the Shenandoah Valley and fqllowed the Rangers into Loudoun County and then into Upperville. Proceeding towards Berryville, Mosby ran into the 6th New York Cavalry where, with Confederate infantry support, the Rangers routed the Federals. Following the battle, Mosby allowed his men to rest in the warm summer sun. Suddenly, after a forced march, Blazer’s Scouts attacked the Confederates without warning. Although the Union task force inflicted many casualties on the Rangers, Mosby escaped and regrouped his men to continue their hit-and-run tactics. Soon after the Blazer engagement, Mosby, with Rangers Guy Broadwater and Tom Love, scouted the Fairfax County territory. The trio was attacked by the 13th New York Cavalry where Mosby was struck by an Union bullet. Mosby was treated for his wound at The Plains but the bullet was never removed — he carried it for the rest of his life. Mosby operated throughout Northern Virginia and officially signed the charter papers creating Company A of the 43rd Virginia Cavalry Battalion at Rector’s Cross Roads between Upperville and Middleburg. After the war, Mosby became an attorney and eventually befriended then President Ulysses S. Grant. Mosby was awarded the position of consular to Hong Kong and later died in Washington, D.C., at the age of 83. “Everyone feared Mosby,” said Frank Stone, whose father was a personal friend of Mosby. Stone said his father, who was a pharmacist on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., became acquainted with Mosby when the Confederate Colonel returned to the nation’s capital after being ambassador to Hong Kong. Stone, who is 50 years younger than his father, now resides in Basye, Va. “Wagon trains, union soldiers and picket lines were always afraid of Mosby,” said the younger Stone. More than 10,000 spectators are expected to be on hand for the twoday event according to a Great Meadow spokesperson. The gates will open at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday with the main battle commencing at 2 p.m. Because of traffic, spectators are advised to be at Great Meadow by noon. In addition, early visitors will be able to observe a dramatization of a soldier’s amputation by a medical field surgeon. “Because of the life-like nature of the demonstration, we don’t advise it for everyone to see,” said Major John Sisk of the 8th Virginia Regiment. The demonstration will be held at 11 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Admission to the re-enactment which includes the amputation demonstration, self-guided tours of the Confederate and Federal camps and the main battle, is $15 per car load at the gate or $10 in advance. Advance ticket outlets include Marshall Hardware in Marshall, the Col. Ken Wilt, left, portraying the Gray Ghost, Col. John S. Mosby, directs his troops during living history reenactment. Upper Crust in Middleburg, Corner Store in The Plains and Hobbytown in Manassas. The re-enactment will be held rain or shine. Concessions will also be available on the property. For more information or advance tickets, call 253-5001. 'Social Security' comes to town After a highly successful grand opening, Olde Towne Theatre, a professional touring company, will bring their second show of the season to the historic John Barton Payne Building in Old Town Warrenton.

Nov. 13 and at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14. Casting actors from throughout Northern Virginia, the play has six characters and evolves around two central figures.

The trouble begins when Barbara’s sister Trudi Heyman. played by Fairfax actor, Alma Tolins. arrives with husband Martin. |>layed by Olde Towne Theatre veteran, Tom Sawyer. They're dropping off mother, played by Vienna actor, Rose DeClercq, who has been living with the Heymans since she broke her hip at a Macy’s White Sale. Trudi and Martin dump Sophie “like a package from Altmans” so they may run and fetch their college student daughter who has moved in with two boys and claims to “live for sex.” Mom makes everyone's life miserable until the unexpected happens. David has a very im|mrtant client over, who happens to be a famous artist and quite rich and also very young. Sophie and the artist, played by Northern Virginia Theatre Alliance a want winner ‘Social Security/ will be performed Nov. 13 and 14 at the John Barton Payne Building in Warrenton. Chuck Bostian, hit it oft and before anyone can catch their breath, the two are on a plane to Paris.

The action was taken after a public hearing in which a petition signed by 106 residents favored the center. The designation is important because the village centers are supposed to be magnets for growth in the county and a major development cannot locate in an area that is not a village center, unless the plan is amended. Down the road Griffinsburg has been downgraded as a convenience center. Here is Boston, the American Security Council Foundation has outlined the proposed development of the 869 acre tract to include residential communities, commercial buildingB and an 18 hole golf course. According to Mr. Fisher, chairman of the foundation they are planning to transform the present home of American Security Council into a model community to provide complete living environment where one may live, work, play and receive medical care all within the community.

The only source of such information was the dreaded prospect of surgery. Yet, today, body scanning is routine, saving needless pain and suffering. There is yet another power, one which has existed since the conception of the universe. That power is God. He not only has the power to influence the inner workings of our bodies. He knows our thoughts and our desires ... even our souls. The philosopher, Angelo Patri, stated it well when he observed,"Spiritual power is a hidden power, locked in the silence of the soul."

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.

Hearty soups for the season By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Affsnt, Homs Fcooonitci When the days start to shorten and the nights start to chill, our thoughts turn to hearty soups and stews that warm you up. A hearty soup or stew can be the simplest solution to easy and inexpensive entertaining. When you add a crusty loaf of bread or breadsticks, a crisp salad, fruit or cheese and a beverage, your meal is complete. Homemade soups and stews may be created from whatever ingredients you have on hand. The base for many soups is often a broth made by simmering the meaty bones from leftover roasted turkey, chicken, ham or beef in water. When the broth has finished cooking, it should be strained. The tender meat clinging to the bones may be removed and added back to the broth along with a variety of vegetables. Refrigerate the broth overnight to let the fat solidify. Then remove the fat to make a low-fat and low-calorie broth. Soup or stew What’s the difference between a soup and a stew? Most cooks maintain that stews are usually cooked in less liquid than a soup and are often thickened with flour or dumplings. Vegetables and meat are usually cut in larger pieces. HOME ECONOMICS When preparing stews and soups, the simmering step is the most critical. For example, a beef « stew that has boiled quickly will not taste or look as good as one that has gently simmered for several hours. When roughly boiled, the meat will toughen and become stringy and the vegetables will break apart. Most soups can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for two to three days. Some ingredients, like potatoes, do not freeze well, so they should be cooked and added after thawing. The following recipes for soups are hearty ones for cold weather. Cheddar cheese soup 21. butter 1/4 c. minced onion 1/4 c. finely chopped celery or peppers 2-3 c. stock 1/2 lb. cheddar cheese 1/41. grated nutmeg (if you don’t have eers, croutons, nuts or seeds to garnish) Melt butter and saute vegetables until soft.

Master Gardener program By HELEN W. SMITH Brnmkm Agent, Home Economkrt “What is that insect on my azalea?” “Is it time to prune my roses?” These are just a few of the questions you will be prepared to answer after finishing the Master Gardener program. A series of 17 workshops will be offered by the Cooperative Extension Service in Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties and the C-M-O-R Master Gardeners beginning Nov. 18. This horticulture educational effort provides training on a variety of topics. Topics to be covered include vegetable production, wood ornamental, turfgrass, weed identification, soils, plant propagation, insects, pruning, pesticides and volunterism plus several others. In addition to the classes the learning will continue afterwards since each participant is expected to return at least 50 hours of volunteer service to Extension Service educational programs. Each person who completes the course is expected to return at least 1/2 of these hours in direct support of Virginia Cooperative Extension horticulture programs. This would include answering walk-in and telephone questions at local Extension offices, setting up and manning Master Gardener exhibits, writing news articles and/or teaching others. Additional volunteer time can be performed in community service work projects. This, the 6th class series for these counties, will meet from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Wednesdays starting Nov. 18 and continuing through March 24. Dec. 16 is the last class for 1992 with classes resuming Jan. 6. The location will vary between all counties expect Rappahannock. November and February classes will be held in Madison, December and March in Culpeper and January in Orange. Classes are als6 held in Fauquier County under the direction of Extension Agent Chuck Hoysa. Instructors will include Master Gardener volunteers, local professionals and extension staff. For more information or registration forms call your local Extension office Culpeper 825-2233, Madison 9486881, Orange 672-1361, Rappahannock 675-3619. Participation is open to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, handicap or political affiliation. Registration will be accepted until the course begins or until available spaces are filled. Class size will be limited. While course participants must agree to give 50 hours of time back to Extension the hope is that this will be just a start of a long term learning and sharing experience. Most work experiences are in themselves learning since answering questions often requires additional research. Many Master Gardeners continue to work with the program long after fulfilling the required time. Ed Tyner has over 500 hours. Many of these have been in the Culpeper Extension office answering questions of local residents. Mr. Tyner is also the leader of the four county M.G. organization. Candy Tredway has several hundred hours, most of which have come with her efforts in the flower barrels in downtown Culpeper. Others with over 100 hours include John Hudson, Louise Garris, Norman and Marilyn Likness, Daniel Blessinger, Rona Schaepman, Becky Cutright and Jewell Keroher. A $50 registration fee includes the cost of the Master Gardener handbook, class cost, and a years membership in the C-M-O-R Master Gardener organization. The handbook contains over 500 pages of material. Pageland Homes Corporation JEFFERSON land tf fyalty MADISON COUNTY \ FANTASTIC LOCATION—44 acres, across from National Park, Syria. '124,500.
