Crews strain to finish highway By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Crews for two construction firms are pushing dirt, spreading gravel and laying pavement at a furious pace along U.S. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. The job has been divided into two sections at the Covington River by the Virginia Department of Transportation and Highways. L. F. Franklin of Stephenson is building the eastern section near Washington and Haynes Brothers. Inc., of Chatham is building the western section that ends near Sperry ville. Robert Moore, VDOT’s Resident Engineer in Rappahannock County, said earlier this week that both jobs are on schedule. Franklin began work one year ago on the eastern section with a 240 “working day” time limit. Moore said that the current estimated completion date for this project is Jan. 15, 1993, assuming the generally good weather continues. “We may not be able to get the final*-; smooth coat of asphalt on the road by then,” Moore said. "We need a 60 degree day to spread the asphalt,” he added. Franklin construction still must complete work around the intersection with Route 622 (the Shade Road), finish building guard rails, and resurface all four lanes with fresh pavement, Moore said. Moore said that the strange kink in the east bound lanes between^he high school and Route 622 has been removed. The roadway is being regraded through that area. When the work is completed the east bound lanes of U.S. 211 will curve smoothly around Faith Mountain. Drivers approaching the divided highway on Route 622 will be able to stop level with the main road and will find their lines of sight much •** Franklin has done work for toe highway department in the past, Moore said. “We have always been satisfied with their work.” This project has an estimated cost of $1,988,739, Moore said. Haynes Brothers has the much more difficult project. They started later, on May 4, 1992, and were initially given 270 working days to complete the project. Assuming normal weather patterns, this project should be completed in early September, 1993, said Moore. The project’s cost is $3,296,024 * Moore See Highway, Page A-7 _ Old Rag Bulletins Tax bills sent out Tax bills for real estate and personal property for 1992 have been mailed out and are due Dec. 5.

SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannork Nr» » Staff Writer The Washington Town Council returned yet again to Ms. Fredette Eagle’s claim to a portion of Wheeler Street at its meeting last Wednesday night. Mayor Dean Morehouse, his frustration obvious, said, “I do not want this to drag on. It is now November and so far we have not done squat.” Newbill Miller, his chair pushed away from the table, provided the lone voice counseling a slower pace. "Why are we in such a hurry to sue,” he asked. Ms. Eagle owns two lots at the corner of Gay and Wheeler streets. One is the blue house on the comer and the other is a very small lot directly across Wheeler Street from the hdtose.The'small lot1is covered by a falling-down shed. That lot is (or was) approximately 42 feet by 27 feet, which is 1,134 square feet or 0.0259 acre. Back in July Ms. Eagle, through her attorney ' Douglas Baumgardner, asked the council to approve a plat of the property that outlined new dimensions: she had purchased a strip of land three feet wide along the side and a another strip six feet wide long the back, making the lot approximately 45 X 33 feet. That unchallenged addition added 0.0081 acre to the lot, leaving it still considerably short of the town’s minimum lot size of one half acre. The plat also delineated two additional sections, one 45 by 20 feet that extended into Wheeler street, and another section that extended into Gay Street extended. % i See Eagle, Page A-6 School Board makes decision on RCES space By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The School Board voted unanimously to recommend building an addition on to the elementary school and then looking at an addition to the high school at their November meeting Wednesday. The board also adopted a proposed time plan for the expansion which calls for the elementary school addition to be ready to use by the beginning of the 1994-95 school year. The proposed addition is estimated to cost between $1.2 and $1.3 million and to include 17 classrooms. In October a consultant from Baughan and Bauhkages architectural firm in Luray proposed a 13 classroom addition. School Superintendent David Oangel said, “After looking at the data carefully, I found the numbers were right on the edge," implying that the extra classrooms would allow leeway for classes that are approaching the need for an extra section to add it. However, all four additional classrooms were labeled for existing special programs. In addition, two classrooms previously labeled as regular classrooms were also labeled for special programs on the diagram of the addition handed out at the board meeting. Thirty-two rooms are labeled for regular classroom use, enough for four sections for each of the eight grades at the school. The data prepared by Baughan and Baukhages for the October meeting indicated that 33 regular classrooms would be needed between 1995 and 1999 and during the 2041-2002 school year, and that 34 would be needed between 1999 and 2001. In a separate interview. Dr. Gangel said he felt 32 classrooms would be sufficient. All these figures are based on estimates of the number of students in each class. Many of them have not yet been born. Dr. (langel said, for example that the figures used by the consultants for the 1999-2000 school year show 85 students in second grade in four sections. They also indicate 88 students in third grade in four sections. Dr. Gangel said that current state laws allow the school system to average the number of children per class in second and third grades combined, and the school would be in compliance as long as that number does not exceed 25. Therefore the 85 second graders expected in 1999 could be handled in three sections. Dr. Gangel said the architects advised that the four additional classrooms would add approximately $100,000 to the cost of the addition. At the meeting Dr. Gangel said, “1 would recommend we do not consider mobile units. They are meant to be a temporary fix, and no one is projecting that this is a temporary condition. With the cost difference, I cannot recommend a middle school. I recommend we build the addition to the elementary school as soon as we See Expand, Page A-3 County schools earn accredition By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The county high school has been accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SASC). A few years ago the county sought accreditation from SASC for both schools. The high school was denied accreditation because one teacher was not certified in his teaching area, but the elementary school was accredited by this body. At the November School Board meeting School Superintendent David Gangel told the board the high school had been approved and would be recognized at a meeting in Texas in December. Both schools are fully accredited by the state and have been for many years. The board members saw a demonstration of computer aided manufacturing (CAM) at the meeting. Technical education teacher Ron Vickers showed how the machine can inscribe letters or designs into a wax block. The machine was programmed pixel by pixel to indicate which sectors of the block should be drilled out. Mr. Vickers said the machine could also be used on wood or metal. Dr. Gangel noted, “In industry you had an engineer, a draftsman and a mill operator. Now one person can do it all.” Mr. Vickers said he ordered the machine at the end of the last school year and is still teaching himself how to operate it. He said he would use it first in teaching students taking Introduction to Engineering and then for those taking Materials Processing. He said that he would need an additional $1,500 software program to link the milling machine to the computer assisted drawing machine. Mr. Vickers also reported on the Rappahannock Scholars program. Students who missed no more than 15 days of school last year and who were on the honor roll for the year are recognized as Rappahannock Scholars. They are eligible for discounts on various products in the school and in neighboring communities. Mr. Vickers said last year in the first year of the program 35 students qualified. This year there are 55 Rappahannock Scholars, he said. The board voted to join others across the country in approving a resolution to “Reinvest in America” to be sent to the incoming President and Congress. Noting the end of the Cold War, the resolution urges the government to direct more of the country’s resources to “rebuild America and ensure that every child comes to school healthy and ready to learn.” "We need all the help that we can get,” Chairman Beverly Massie said. "We don’t know if it will help at this juncture. It cannot hurt to have our names there with all the others." Dr. Gangel said he had used funds from the RJ R/Nabiseo grant to order a mobile office for the project team. Town Council votes 4-3 for Trimblehouse fixtures ■3 ■ ■ ■ s ,. '. A deeply divided Washington Town Council finally took action on street lights last Wednesday night, only to turn around and immediately delay the action until at least the end of the year. , After nearly an hour of discussion, council voted 43 to ask Potomac Edison to seek bids on the light fixture that most closely resembles the existing incandescent fixtures still in us% & In other action, Mayor Dean Morehouse reported to council that three firms had bid on the water project. The low bidder was Rappawan of Front Royal, with an offer of $455,022.50, only 6.6 per cent above the original engineer’s estimate of $430,800 prepared four years ago. Morehouse also told council that if they can get the banking matters closed quickly they will lock in an interest rate of 5.5 percent as opposed to the 6.125 percent they had expected to pay. Only one firm was willing to bid on building a new well house. At $166,000, the bid was way above the original extiraate of $50,000. Morehouse said the difference was caused by the State Water Control Board (SWCB) and the State Health Department, both of which insisted on expensive changes to the eqipment list. Responding to a question from councilman Newbill Miller, Morehouse said the Rappawan bid was based on installing plastic pipe for the water mains. To install ductile iron pipes would have added more than $100,000 to the price, he added. “We are now negotiating over the bid with Rappawan,” said Morehouse. He anticipates that after review by all the interested parties at the state level and approval by the bankers, the town should be able to sign a contract in about three months. “Well before the lights (are installed),” quipped Miller. The discussion over light fixtures began with a review of the survey sent out with the Town water bills earlier this month. - Town treasurer Brad Fisher was pleased that 35 water customers had returned the questionaire. For Gay and Main streets the vote was 24 in favor of the Acorn fixture (installed in front of the Clopton House on Main Street), nine for the Trimblehouse fixture that looks something like the existing lights, and two for the Cobra arm fixture that Potomac Edison carries in stock. Opinion was far more divided on which lights to install on the side streets, with 15 wanting the Acorn fixture, 17 opting for the Trimblehouse light and three for the Cobra arm. The discussion on the light issue ranged from who really sets the electric rates for the street lights, on to the type and size of bulb, then to placement and quan-' tity of fixtures (with several references to a possible engineering study of actual needs), then returning like a refrain to historical accuracy, before continuing on the cost of thd fixtures and the ongoing maintenance. . It was a lively discussion. ; Sitting at the end of the table Town Secretary Ray f; 8*Tewn,P«feAi#t v • • * 4 V t

The incident occurred on Route 641 near the Aileen plant. Woodward said he did not know yet how the cow was killed, but the hind quarters were cut off and carried away. The only other crime report of note, Woodward said, was the theft of building materials from Troy Bruce on Nov. 10. Bruce is building a new structure behind what was the Hampton Inn, Woodward said. The Virginia State Police reported three automobile accidents on county roads over the past week. According to the accident report filed by Trooper S. M. Knick, the Dodge suffered minor damage and the Chevrolet about $!,500 worth. The minor was charged with failure to yield the right of way. An attempted passing maneuver near Parkway Gift Shop on U.S. 211 west of Sperry ville on Nov. 11 went awry. According to the report filed by Trooper C.M. Hodges, Thomas Hawkins, 50, of Virginia Beach was eastbound in a 1985 Ford pickup truck. Hawkins apparently tried to pass a tractor-trailer rig driven by Ben Horn, 30, of Dover, Fa., justas the semi slowed to turn left into Parkway. Hawkins ran off the road on the left side and struck a telephone booth, causing an estimated $2,000 damage to his truck. The split rig was not damaged. Trooper Hodges charged Horn with making an improper turn. Two persons were injured on Route 707, one mile west of Route 231 on Nov. 9. Sgt. Morris reported that a 1988 Pontiac driven by Jessi Ward, 34, of Fredericksburg collided with a 1991 Ford pickup truck driven by George Caperton, 35, of Culpeper. Ward and a passenger in the Pontiac, Gary McNutt, 42, were injured and taken to the hospital. t mrnmmrnmmm Joseph W. Bauett Jr., 62/34, continued to Dec. 15. Carolyn G. Boggs aka Carolyn G.

Once that is done, we can look at an addition to the high school.” Chairman Beverly Massie agreed saying, “I think everyone is in agreement that modular units are not the way to go.” Piedmont District representative Frances Thornton added, "They’re a waste of money.” Dr. Gangel said at least one more class space will be needed next year, before the addition can be ready. He said as a temporary measure he will recommend putting music classes now taught in one of the modular units on the stage, freeing up the use of that modular for other class use. Mrs. Massie continued, “From the fugures given us we all feel the middle school is not the way finan daily to £0. It is twice as expensive. This way we will be meeting the population needs through 2002-2003. We will not be building when we don’t know if we will have the increased population. We know we have these needs now.” Hampton District representative Bryant Lee said, “We don’t realy have a choice.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole said, “I know a number of parents will be disappointed when we decide not to Plans courtesy of Rappahannock School Hour J The shaded parts of this drawing mark the proposed additions to the county’s elementary school.. The school board is also considering the four additional classrooms marked Chapter 1 and language. go with a middle school. Educationally I think that makes sense, but I can’t go along with a middle school now." “Looking ahead, I am concerned about our output, how our students are prepared to go out into the world," he continued. “It is difficult to reconcile building a middle school with the needs at the high school. With the immediate space needs taken care of, it leaves us some flexibility to do something with the high school. The world is changing rapidly, and we need to apply our resources there." Wakefield District representative Paul Nichols agreed adding, “If we get it in by September, 1994, we will be able to manage that." He made the motion to move ahead with the elementary school addition immediately and look at the needs of the high school in five years. I)r. Tole seconded the motion and all approved. Along with the recommendation to build additions, Dr. Gangel had a tentative schedule that calls for a public hearing for response to the plan on Dec. 9 and including architectural fees and a commitment for construction in the next budget. The project could go out for bids next November with an August, 1994, completion date. In response to a request from the Board of Supervisors Dr. Gangel had also provided a list of additional employees that would be required for the alternative building requirements. He said that between 10 and 14 additional teachers will be required at a current cost of $.'100,000 to $420,000. He noted that these teachers will be required whether a middle school is built, additions to the two schools are built, or additional students are taught in trailers or tents. He said additional enrollment also will require an additional halftime person for guidance. Wakefield picks class officers MARSHALL — Following a spirited campaign, the lower School at Wakefield School elected officers for the coming year. Andrew Speziale of Front Royal was eleetred president. Justin Updike of Washington was elected vicepresident and the new secretarytreasurer is Alexander Henry of Woodstock. The new officers are planning several activities including dances and fund raisers. The fourth grade class has been studying Native Americans. As part of that study, the students made a recent field trip to Washington, D. C., to view related exhibits at the Library of Congress, the Natural History Museum and the National Gallery.

Hunting season opens with moderate deer kill Game Warden Jim Bankston reported that the number of deer checked on opening day of the hunting season was average to below average. Complaints were down from last year, he said. Mr. Bankston said there had only been one complaint of road hunting and one instance of someone trying to check a turkey. It was legal to shoot turkey last week, and it will again be legal next week, but this week turkey are out of season. A brief survey of game checking stations found several reporting their activity to be about average for the opening days and one, Hillsdale Grocery, reporting above average numbers of deer checked. In past years school has been closed for the opening day w ith teachers having a day of in-service. This year, because Labor Day was late and the start of school was late, in-service days were concentrated in the period before school started, and this Monday was a regular school day. Diane Pendleton, who keeps attendance records for the* high school, reported that f>0 students were absent Monday, compared to 20 last Friday. Most of those students were hack in school Tuesday, she said. For the second year Hunters for the Hungry is collecting donated venison for the needy. Hunters for the Hungry is an offshoot of the Society of Saint Andrew, which started the Potato Project to see that the hungry get potatoes that have been culled and left in the field. Hunters for the Hungry, a nonprofit agency, is seeking donations to cover processing costs. Thirty-three processors around the state have agreed to handle the venison. In this area, Calhoun's Meats in Culpeper, T '& U Deer Processing in Berryville, McWilliams Meats in Gordonsville, Manassas Frozen Foods and Dinthicum Slaughtering in Manassas, Gerald Koss in Fdinburg and Guard Hili Meats in Middletown are participating processors.

Audit Burwu WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1992 Misguided expansion There is no question that the space needs at the elementary school are critical now and likely to get more so in the future. ; Last week the School Board voted to proceed with plans for an addition to the school with the hope it will be ready by the 1994-95 school year. When the elementary school was built it had 31 Classrooms for first through seventh graders, enough for four rooms for each grade, with an extra for two grades and $ room for special education. : Today there are 44 elementary teachers. Kindergarten classes were added. One classroom is shared by fifth and sixth graders when they are not in the computer lab. The teachers’ lounge has been divided into two remedial classrooms, and the teachers have been moved to what were two storage closets. Three additional classrooms have been divided for special education and remedial classes. Three trailor-like buildings in back of the school provide space for an additional four remedial and special education Classrooms and one for music. Guidance, speech therapy and psychological testing take place in former storage spaces. ; Last year m a public hearing opponents strenuously attacked a proposal to solve the space problem by building a middle school, saying it was unafordable. Last spring at an elementary PTO meeting a teacher suggested building a primary school, for kindergarten through third grades, instead of a middle school. Superintendent David Gangel said the school system would explore that option. There is tto evidence that this happened. Perhaps it should. » This year an architectural consultant said additions at both schools could solve the space problems at a lower cost than building a middle school. During the Presidential debates Ross Perot said that ^the best schools are small schools.” No statement during the debates was more true ! ban that one. Rappahannock children have benefitted enormously from attending small schools. r. 1 he proposed addition at the elementary school would add 17 classrooms, up from 13 originally recommended by the consulting firm, with an estimated cost increase of $100,000, surely an underestimate. « Six additional spaces have been recommended for special programs leaving 32 regular classrooms, enough for four for each grade. At a time when incoming classes are requiring five sections, it is hard to believe the proposed addition will solve space problems very far into the future. 2 But the enlarged school will have a capacity of 800 students, hardly a small school. - The current elementary school would be more than adequate for fourth through seventh grades for many years. A primary school could be built for considerably less than a middle school. For example there would be no need for locker rooms with showers or a band room. A new primary school would require the purchase of additional land, but the land could also provide for other county needs besides education. It would not eliminate the need for a future expansion for the high school. It would not be less expensive than an addition to the elementary school, but it would take care of elementary school space needs for a longer time and enable county children to continue attending small schools where they get more personal Attention. II The School Board has scheduled a public hearing on the plan to build the addition at the elementary school for Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium. It would be wonderful if a high percentage of the 2,600 people who voted to change the method of selecting School Board members would attend and express their views at this hearing. ■ W !»,( fi/ nil' vrmarvi Rappahannock News Staff PholiVCindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Turkey vultures wait patiently in the bare trees for the morning sun to dry their wings, warm the ground and generate the gently rising thermal currents upon which they coast throughout the afternoon. Letters to the Editor ;• ' .. $ : *■ . __ mmmMa *; -I Sperryville's bypass questioned In your Wednesday, Nov. 11, greetings to your new readership, you spoke of the Sperryville by-pass as if it were a done deal. Let me bring you up to date. Last winter, the VDOT presented the supervisors with a preliminary study for a by-pass. Our supervisor from Piedmont District, Charles K. (Pete) Estes, in turn presented it to the community for comment. According to Mr. Estes, the response was split 50/50 for and against. He therefore decided not to request further study. (Such a request would have been made at the VDOT’s annual conference in April). This effectively ends the matter until such time as the people of Sperryville change their minds. I have been told by Mr. Robert Moore of the VDOT that if we don’t want the by-pass, VDOT doesn’t want it. Your viewpoint seems quite different. I quote: “When the highway department was planning to bypass Washington, many residents opposed the plan. . . The highway department didn't listen and today the town is far more prosperous than before.” In other words, VDOT knows best, and we should let them do whatever they wrant - it will all turn out for the best. Is this the personal opinion of the editor or the official position of the Rappahannock News'! I also find questionable the argument (advanced chiefly, it seems by Washingtonians) that what was good for Washington will necessarily be good for Sperryville. When you say that the by-pass will make Sperryville a “nicer” place, I take it you mean more like Washington. Certainly the ambience of the two villages is different. Which is “nicer” may not be as cut and dry as you think. SCOTT MCBRIDE Sperryville Reader thanks rescue squads To the Editor: My name is Donna Salenro, and I am a teacher for Rappahannock High School. On Tuesday, Nov. 3 I was in a car accident on the way to work. *' The Castleton and Sperryville Rescue Squads arrived on the scene to attend to me and the other driver. One of the members of the Castleton Squad was Chris Payne, a senior in the high school. Chris is a certified emergency technician and has been with the squad for two years. I was impressed with the way in which he handled himself in the * emergency and wanted to thank him for all his help. 1 admire Chris’s professionalism and wanted to share my admiration with his family, friends, and community. I would also like to thank each member of the squads for helping me through this unfortunate experience. DONNA SALERNO Culpeper Young person voted for Bush To the Editor: On Election night the media reallv emphasized that young people wanted a change in our government, someone with new views, not a traditional president. They wanted someone who would change with the times. They wanted a president who would support a woman's right to abortion, equal rights for homosexuals, and manv other liberal issues. Well, 1 am speaking for many young people who I know' who voted for Bush, and still believe in honor, integrity, morality, and Godliness! Just because our times are changing, doesn’t mean we back down from what wTe know is right. The change needed in our country will not be met by more education, jobs, or money. It is a heart change that is needed; we need to get God back into our lives and country. You hear people say that if there were more jobs and education there wouldn’t be so much violence. It seems like now in our country we can have an excuse for everything we do. This is ridiculous! Like a murderer saying “1 killed women because I never got enough love from mv mother.” We need to let God rule in our hearts and minds! Our problem is a spiritual one. President Bush, you will be missed very much. Tliank you, for standing up for what is rignt! You stood up against abortion, even in the face of criticism. God honors that greatly. In the bible, Proverbs 6:1(5, 17 says “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood." The most innocent blood is the blood of an unborn child in the womb. They have no voice to out! I like the bumper sticker that , says “Equal rights for unborn women.” One thing that really bothers me is when abortion is used for birth control. We, as women must be responsible. If we choose to have sex with someone, we must be responsible for our actions, or we lose our rights over our own bodies. We lose our rights as women. Be responsible! As for all the young people that stand for Godliness, and voted for Bush, don’t be discouraged because of the election results. Remember, God is still in control; always take a stand for what you believe, and say, “We choose the way of the Lord.” A strong hope in God will lead us through.

This action was taken by the Board at the November meeting held on the 7th, at the court house. The local Board of Supervisors, as well as governing bodies throughout the State, had been contacted by the Virginia Civil War Centenniel Commission for participation in the Centenniel celebration. After due consideration, the Board decided that the most fitting commemoration would be a gift to the library fund and included $1,000 in the budget for this purpose. Hunting Season opened with a bang, literally, in Rappahannock on Monday with Clarence Baldwin shooting a 175-lb. spike in Hampton District at the Baldwin home place in Gid Brown Hollow, a little before seven o’clock. Near there also in Gid Brown Hollow A.H. Keyser is operating a 600-acre hunting preserve featuring deer, bear and grouse. It adjoins the Shenandoah National Park and limited hunting is allowed by permit only. The second day of the season 3 deer were bagged on this preserve. Reports from the county checking stations show that the deer kill in Rappahannock so far totals 12. Last year at this time 14 deer had been checked at the Game Stations. 20 YEARS AGO November 23,1972 Rappahannock School officials have announced procedures to be followed when weather or emergency situations require the closing of the county’s public schools. Superintendent of Schools O.A. Norton, stated that when conditions dictate the wisdom of school closings, area radio stations will furnish the information as soon as the decision is made. An attempt will be made to have the announcement on the air by 6 a.m., depending upon conditions, but no later than 7 a.m. In making decisions concerning school closings in bad weather, attempts are made to secure information from a number of sources. Weather conditions are not always the same from county to county and often vary within the same county. Because schools are closed in one county does not always mean that schools will be closed in the adjoining county. 10 YEARS AGO November 25, 1982 Rappahannock’s Equalization Board has tentatively scheduled its last meeting for' Wednesday, December 8. Landowners who wish to be heard regarding the values set on the property in the recent fair market value reassessment should contact the Commissioner of Revenue’s office in Washington for an appointment. The Rappahannock Garden Club is making plans for its annual Christmas greens workshop. Mrs. Frank Gannon and Mrs. Carroll Kilpatrick will serve as co-chairman of the workshop. As in previous years, wreaths, garlands and swags will be made and sold to order.

Parents and teachers seek improvements in education By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer . The second annual Rappahannock Educators’ Conference Saturday provided an opportunity for parents and teachers to learn about and share ideas for improving education. , Organized by Laurie Marshall and sponsored by the elementary PTO, the conference again provided an opportunity for public and private school teachers and home schoolers to get together and attempt to break down the barriers that separate them. This year’s conference had the theme “Creating the Learning Comntunity.” From the featured speaker Starla Jewell-Kelly, director of the National Community Education Association (NCEA), to the performance of a portion of The Slabtown District Convention by members of the black community, through workshops presented by public and private school teachers and home schoolers, to the closing discussion of visions for education in Rappahannock County, the conference focused on how children and adults from all races and backgrounds can work together to create an environment in which all become life-long learners. Ms. Jewell-Kelly said she got her life-long love for learning and teaching from a one-room school, where blder children helped teach younger ones, all the children cooperated to fetch water and cook soup for lunch, the building was used on Saturday evenings for dances and on Sunday for church services. She said the NCEA started when Charles Stuart Mott, a rich man in Flint Michigan, learned that the local public school was locked when school was not in session. After some lobbying “the school board agreed the school should be open to the community,” she said. ' “The community has invested billions in school buildings," she added. “Now people have realized they own the buildings.” What started as after school programs for children and ievening classes for adults has grown Jo 10,000 community education programs in the United States and organizations promoting community education in countries around the tyorld, she said. "Community education is when a community decides to better its quality of life,” Ms. Jewell-Kelly said. She said her organization you Id provide training for those interested in starting a local program. She said the concept of community education has expanded. “We’ve heeded to do a lot more. We ask, fWhat’s wrong with our community and what can we do?’” . Community education today is involved in everything from partnerships with business, to providing child care, bringing social services into the schools, parenting education, and drug and alcohol abuse prevention, she said. ; She suggested the group try to hire someone to survey the community to find out what people see as needs. “ Ms. Marshall said putting on a play is “creating a learning community.” She asked former teacher Ju-lia Boddie to tell about producing The Slabfoivv District Convention. Mrs. Boddie said she got the idea pf doing the play to raise money for the scholarship fund in her name. "We want to bring people together lo help all our children,” she said, poting that the scholarship fund is ■used for children from the white as well as the black community. , The portion of the play performed at the conference featured former teacher Dorothy Butler telling those at the Baptist women’s convention about raising children. Mary Groves said she had enjoyed having a part in a play for “the first time since elementary school.” She said when people first encounter the play, they notice the humor, “but there is a lot of truth in it too.” She said the experience of producing the play “brought the black churches together” and said she hppes the play can be produced again bringing in members of white churches also. Lilian Aylor said, “We had a lot of fun getting the play together. It brought back childhood memories.” She said Mrs. Boddie taught her in fourth through seventh grades. “We thank God for a teacher like her,” 'Mrs. Aylor said. She said an appreciation service given at the time of Mrs. Boddie’s retirement led to the scholarship fund, and “we solicit "your support in this effort.” i These presentations were tollowed by a series of workshops. Cynthia Brandt told how in her fourth grade class last year, the children became interested in learning about “old timey schools.” She said the children agreed to interview , people they knew who had attended “old timey" schools. Following the interviews they decided to share what they had learned by “making a play.” To write a play, they found they needed to read plays. They manufactured props and picked a cast, making sure younger children were included since “old timey” schools had children in various grades in class together. “They were taking over, and it was scaring me to death,” Miss Brandt said. “I had to resolve that this is the way I want to teach, to empower the students.” She said that the found that 10 of the 15 “standards of learning” in her fourth grade curriculum were'covered “in this one project alone.” Dee Van Home told how the county elementary school has had continued success in teaching sixth graders to write so they pass the literacy passport test in writing. He noted that there was a decision made to tighten standards last year. Statewide a lower percentage of students passed, but at the elementary school a higher percentage of students passed, he said. He noted that the test places a greater emphasis on coherence and style than on mechanics and said that in giving the students practice writing, teachers had to switch their emphasis also. In a discussion of how mechanics, such as spelling and punctuation get covered, he said that encouraging writing was more important, but suggested teachers pick one or two things for a student to concentrate on in the next writing project, selecting those things which most interfere with the need to have writing communicate. Lee Buratti told about working with students at Wakefield School in Marshall to create the award-winning “Talisman” literary magazine. Diane Wood told about her work first in the classroom and now as a home schooler to use the child’s interests to develop an “inner curriculum.” Tutt Stapp-Harris, who teaches at Wakefield School in Marshall, said she had found a similar approach to teaching writing to adolescents. “1 am convinced of the absolute need for technical knowledge,” she added. She said that the two greatest chal lenges in teaching writing to 10th graders are convincing them that there is a connection between writing and technique and teaching them to totally let go of technique. “It’s hard to convince them that someone can teach them to improve their writing without violating their personalities,” she said, but added, “Journal writing has to be totally passionate and headlong." In the concluding session Jim Thomasson tried to bring together the issues of a multi-disciplinary curriculum, testing and other ways to evaluate learning, and creating ethical students. Several home schoolers expressed frustration with the standardized testing used to evaluate their work and also with having their children shut out from special programs available to public school students. As part of the conclusion Pam Lynn, headmistress of Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly said, “Part of the problem is we have to teach kids to look for the long term goals over the short term goals, and that spills over into ethics. We have to change the way we look at learning and have to open it up to get more people in the community involved in the process.” She says she frequently tells adults, “These students will be running the country you will be aging in.” Meg Tuthill, who teaches at the Huntly school, said, “I’ve seen it all. I lived in a time you wouldn’t believe.” She said she attended public schools in Pasadena, California, during the 30s. “The majority of the people were good. I never heard a swear word until I was in college...I would hope everybody could have had that experience, freedom from crime, freedom from fear. Everyone contributed to the community. It was an educational paradise, and it vanished.” “I hope we can keep the environment in Rappahannock clean and crime free and make ethics the basis of education,” she continued. She said students will need to learn flexibility because of the changes in the job market. “They must learn to be good, learn to be tolerant and learn to love to learn forever.” SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE LOWEST PRICES OF THE SEASON!

Despite the alleged “throw the bums out” mood of the nation, Virginians overwhelmingly elected all eight of their congressional incumbents while at the same time altering the political landscape by sending a black and a woman to Congress and returning Republicans to power in the 6th District, once a GOP bastion of strength. The election results continued a state tendency to hang on to tradition while at the same time keeping up with the times. It happened in 1989 when Douglas Wilder became the first black ever elected governor of any state, a radical departure from tradition. Yet while Virginia was leading the way for the rest of the nation, it kept in power a legislature dominated by moderate-conservative Democrats who have controlled the legislative branch for generations. There was simply no anti-incumbent drive to amount to anything demonstrated in Virginia this year except, perhaps, for the 14 percent of the vote garnered by Ross Perot in the presidential race. Much of thatt vote was taken out of the hide oi President Bush who otherwise! would have won the state by more than the 45-41 percentage margin in which he prevailed over Bill Clinton. Three members of Congress who serve parts of defense-laden Tidewater are members of the House Armed Forces Committee. The three, Herb Bateman, a Republican, and Democrats Norman Sisisky and Owen Pickett, were helped bv their ability to protect against defense reductions that might have severe economic consequences in Tidewater and elsewhere. Democrat L.F. Payne of the 5th District is immensely popular and could win election as a Democrat, Republican and maybe e^«n independent. * Eighth District Rep. James Moran, a Democrat, and 7th Virginia Through Both Barrels _o _ District Rep. Thomas Bliley and 10th District Rep. Frank Wolf, both Republicans, were greatly assisted by redistricting which made their districts even more solidly Democratic and Republican, probably for the next ten years. And Rep. Rick Boucher, a 9th District Democrat, has skillfully gained the backing both of the coal mining industry and coal miner unions. In the new black majority 3rd District, stretching from Newport News to Richmond, Democrat Bobby Scott, who has served in the State Senate for years, can likely stay in Congress as long as he wants to be there. He is a social progressive and fiscal moderate who has long been elected in predominantly white districts. Democrat Leslie Byrne of Northern Virginia becomes the first woman ever to serve in Congress from Virginia. Her race with Republican Henry Butler was the closest in the state - she won by about 9,000 votes - and also one in which there was the most name calling. The newly created 11th District appears to be one of the few remaining swing districts in the wake of redistricting and Republicans might have a shot at winning it in 1994 should a Clinton Administration falter. The Harrisonburg to Roanoke 6th District was once rock-ribbed Republican until conservative Democrat Jim Olin claimed it 10 years ago. When he retired this year, Republicans saw an excellent chance to take it back and did as Robert Goodlatte, a Roanoke lawyer, won a landslide victory over his opponent Steve Musselwhite. Barring the unexpected, Republicans should be able to keep the seat a long time. When the dust had settled, Democrats held a 7-4 advantage in the House of Representatives. All present incumbents, except possibly Byrne, are safe bets to continue in office and the best hope for further change on both sides will be that some of the incumbents decide to retire.

Students begin walk to Florida By STEVE RALLS Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer In an effort to make walking a more prominent part of physical education, RCHS faculty member Renee Leake, and 50 enthusiastic students, have decided to find their way south, as pedestrians, to a southern vacation spot. Throughout the school year, acWater authority seeks operator The Water and Sewer Authority has voted to advertise for a new plant operator by the end of the month. WSA secretary Jimmy Swindler estimated that the job would take about 30 hours a week if Daniel Keyser continues to perform the last afternoon test, and the hours at the sewer plant are combined with services for the schools. WSA members agreed they would either need to continue with Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper for weekend plant management or hire someone else to cover weekends and times when the operator is sick or on vacation. tive members of her physical education class will be walking laps on the school track, clocking their mileage and recording their progress on a map posted with pride on the gymnasium bulletin board. Their goal, some 800 miles away is Daytona Beach, Fla. Neither cold nor bad weather will stop them, either. When nature prevents them from enjoying the scenery of the outdoors, they’ll take advantage of the gym’s comfort, moving their program inside. Thus, not unlike the birds you’ll see flying overhead this month, Mrs. Leake and her faithful flock have only just begun their great migration south. The following students are participating in the program: Rachael Koski, Angeal Neibert, Shamita Fletcher, Melissa Dodson, Tracy Thomas, Nerissa Roberts, Kylene Wolfe, Angela Atkins, Jenni Foster, Sarah Gentry, Amber Charles, Cyndi Welch, Shannon Freemen, Hope Dunn, Janet Hitt, Cherly Smoot, Candy Stonebreaker, Becky Deardorf, Amy Alexander, Dawn Bageart, Julie Bankston, Charta Brown, Tomeka Carey, Cathy Cochran, Wendy Horton, Kelly Magee, Billy Jo McKinney, Kellie McKinney, Shannon Meredith, Leslie Norman, Kerry Rinker, Tara Thomas, Serena Waddell. 5 lbs.

Town council has been debating the consequences of her claim to the 900 square feet of Wheeler Street since the August meeting. Town secretary Ray Gooch said Wednesday night, , “I thought it was a fairly simple issue at the outset. This raises my antennae. “We asked them (Ms. Eagle and her attorney) to record a plat saying that they had no claim on Wheeler Street and they refused,” he added. Looking up from the computer he uses to take notes, Gooch added in a quiet voice, “It angers me that they would put the council through this. It is just like the tree she cut down. She still hasn’t replaced it." Talking about the plat itself, Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said, “it creates confusion in the court records.” “In my mind it creates no rights whatsoever,” he added. Town resident Charlie Eldred commented from the audience, “it is possible that the owners may claim contiguous land by attempting to merge the lots into one lot for zoning purposes.” Reynolds then added, “the Commissioner of Revenue is going to pick up this (addition to the lot) and add it to the tax rolls, and our ordinance contains language that defines a ‘lot’ according to the tax rolls.” (In fact that has already happened. On July 10, an addition was made to the tax records in the Commissioner’s Office increasing the lot size from 0.0259 acres to 0.0546 acres.) ‘ “My positiion is we should sue for a quiet title (to the street) if they a!*e unwilling to add language to the plat clearing claims to it.,” Morehouse said. ‘ After further discussion, the council asked Reynolds to try once again by letter to convince Ms. Eagle to agree to waive any claim to Wheeler Street, whith a clear understanding that if she refuses, the Town will sue to quiet its title to the street. The vote was 6-1, as Miller refused to to go along with the others. “This is supposed to be a friendly town. We are rushing to a lawsuit,” he said. 9*&X/NDEI> B/ P01§ YOU SHOULD: a. Do-p^E PISHES.

This crane gently leans by the side of the old road as it waits to lower a new culvert into the ditch. r Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan This view is northeast over the construction site at the Covington River. Haynes Brothers Inc., has been working to extend the culverts that carry the river under the road. When they have finished, the traffic will be moved to either side and the existing lanes will be torn up. Although the cleanup sign is open, Faith Mountain employees are not quite ready to use this construction equipment to pick up roadside litter. This heavy equipment is being used to rebuild the roadway between the high school and the Shade Road (Route 622). ►Highway From Page A-l said. The additional cost covers the extension of culverts at the Covington and a new bridge at the North Fork of the Thornton near Sperryville. , Also adding to the cost of this project are the large cuts that have been made, especially the one just west of the Covington. Haynes Brothers also are on or ahead of schedule on most of the project, Moore said. The construction company has suggested an alternate way to complete the bridge at the Covington and their suggestions are now being reviewed by the highway department, Moore said. This project also includes changing the grade on Route .622 leading into Gid Brown Hollow, Moore said. Construction has yet to begin on the most significant change to that intersection. As soon as traffic can be moved onto the east bound lanes, the west bound side will be cut down to match the new grade. When the work is completed, drivers coming out of Gid Brown Hollow and turning west towards Sperryville will not have to climb a steep grade while traffic barrels down on them. 1 Dining Guide at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains RESTAURANT & GIFT SHOP JOIN US ON THANKSGIVING DAY I THANKSGIVING BUFFET 'l 12 Noon - 8:00 p.m. I Turkey, Dressing and Gravy, Ham, Fried Shrimp, Fried Catfish Vegetable, Salad and Dessert Bar Rl. 211, 4 miles East or Luray or 4 miles West of Skyline Drive Hours: 7: a.m. • 8:00 p.m. Breakfast Served from 7:00 • 11:30 Sandwich and Dinner Menu available from 11:00 a.m. 703/743-5698 Your Hoata: Bob & CeCe Cattle Reservations Recommended Tor Groups of 7 or more. i Bleu Rock Inn f.k.

►Town From Page A*1 Gooch kept up with the discussion, his fingers clacking away at his portable computer. As first one member of council and then another seemed anxious to delay any action on the lights, Gooch sounded a quiet bass continuo, “just tell me when you’re going to vote so I can come to that meeting.” Responding to a question about rates, Town Attorney Frank Reynolds told the council that the State Corporation Commission (SCC) does not, in fact, set rates for municipal lighting. “We were misled by the Potomac Edison representative on that”, he said. Such rates are usually spelled out in a contract between the town and the utility, he added. Potomac Edison’s apparent footdragging on the issue of decorative lighting elicited several comments. EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY All reel estate advertising in this newspaper is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin or an intention, to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised in this newspaper are available on an equal opportunity basis. To complain of discrimination, call HUD toll-free at 1-800-424-8590. For the Washington, DC area please call HUD at 426-3500. The toll-free telephone number for the hearing impaired is 1-800-543-8294. Gooch pointed out that the Town of Washington apparently is the first in the utility’s service area to raise the issue. ‘"Hiey are afraid other towns might want to do this,” he said. Always concerned about the cost, Miller asked for another survey of residents, this one to include more information about the total costs of each fixture. “If you want decorative fixtures, you are going to have to pay for it,” Morehouse added. Gooch pointed out that it is not possible to get an accurate idea of the cost until the fixtures are put to bid, which Potomac Edison would handle. “All I want is the figures,” said Miller. “I never make a decision without the figures.” “I am fustrated by the-entire process,” said Morehouse. “We have been doing this for two years and we do not know how many (fixtures) we want, what we want and where we want them.” Gooch finally made a motion to ask Pot-Ed to seek bids on the acorn JXappafjannock j Classifieds 1-800-852-4797 fixture, with a color corrected bulb, so that the illumination level is substantially the same as the town now enjoys. It was a clearly worded motion designed to move the council off dead center. It failed for lack of a second. After another few minutes of discussion, Susan Parrish offered a substitute motion, identical to Gooch’s except that she preferred the more traditional fixture designed by Trimblehouse. After more discussion on some minor amendments, her motion passed 4-3. She was joined by Mark Bailey, Janice Moffett and Miller. Fisher prefaced his “no” vote by saying, “the townspeople have spoken and they have chosen the Acorn.” He said he had not seconded Gooch’s motion because he wants to heed the survey and put the Acorn lights on Main and Gay streets and the more traditional fixture on the side streets. Immediately after the vote was tallied, Bailey made a motion to stall any action to give Reynolds a chance to check with other towns in PotEd’s service area for support for a lower wattage bulb. Morehouse was incredulous. “We just voted to do something and now you want to delay it?!” he said. Bailey agreed to amend his motion to delay action only “to the end of the year.” “Sutteri WHEELCHAIR LIFTS STAIRCLIMBS FUnchbaugh Butler Wheelchair Lifts— • adjust to stair widths—they fit the more common narrow stairways • do not require the installation of brackets to support the equipment, they simply rest on the stairs and landing levels •have a built-in emergency system that will not let a person stranded upstairs or in transit in the event of a power failure FHnchbaugh Butler Stair Climbs— • with their sectional track fit stairways of any length • inckxJe a model to accomodate the more narrow stairways • flexibility maintains a high resale value, the sectional track and reversibility permits reinstalling in other locations Distributed And Installed By: 4C0NVALESS THE PLAINS, VA 22171 or for details call 1-800-237-5717 (VA) FlhJp 4 NoRSfeS ^slD>6u (5bHP 3L A HoR££ ’If’ b.

Farmers offered computer course BLACKSBURG - Virginia Tech agricultural economists, in conjunction with NationsBank and Cooperative Extension farm management agents, will be holding a series of workshops around the state in January on “Using Computers to Manage the Modern Farm.” Gordon Groover, agricultural economist, said the programs are intended for agricultural producers who are considering or have recently purchased a micro-computer. The program will provide farmers with the basic knowledge of micro-corn puters and software that are relevant to agricultural businesses. Groover said the free workshops would benefit any producer who is interested in using computers to cut costs and management time, to provide information for credit approvals, or to keep pesticide records. The program will include computer needs of farm businesses, how to purchase software and hardware, how to understand computer jargon, how to decipher advertisements as well as basic computer skills. There also will be demonstrations on farm record keeping, farm management decision aids, fend programs for field and pesticide record programs. The first workshop will be held Jan. 12, 1993, at the P.D. Pruden VoTech Center in Suffolk. The next day, Jan. 13, the workshop will be in Harrisonburg at the Sheraton Inn. On Jan. 14, Lynchburg will be the workshop site, at the Holiday Inn on Oddfellow Road. The final workshop will be held on Jan. 15, at the Southwest Virginia 4-H Center on Route 609 north of Abingdon.

Paparazzo seeks county's private moments ByDAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Ted Pellegatta is a country paparazzo. He creeps along a fence row at dawn, trails the sun through hollows in the afternoon and slips through the forests at twilight - all to catch Rappahannock in her private, ungarded moments. Over the past year and a half, he’s taken more than 4,000 photographs of the county. In those images is the real Rappahannock. Pellegatta has the big pictures: Old Rag in dramatic sillouette, the Blue Ridge skyline stretching forever into twilight, the all-encompassing view from Red Oak. And he has the little pictures: a woodpile, a crumbling stone wall, a solitary birch tree and a clump of mustard flowers. He’s caught the colors of the county. His photographs show Rappahannock in the sharp, bright emerald of spring splashed with pink redbud and white dogwood. He has the deeper, richer greens of summer, the fiery reds and tweedy oranges of autumn in the mountains, the mauves and old gold of winter pastures. His country landscapes and townscapes are friendly and inviting, conveying the sense of community that is as much a part of Rappahannock’s specialness as the county’s beauty. These are the scenes that prompt “yes, that’s why I live here” nods of agreement from those fortunate enough to call Rappahannock home, and “gee, I want to live there too” yearnings from those who don’t. ' These are the same scenes that persuaded Pellegatta to join the fortunate ranks of residents. Twenty-one years ago, he took his first horse ride through Rappahannock. “The county was looking particularly gorgeous that day, and I was smitten,” he recalled. “I’ve been coming back ever since.” For two decades, he was a visitor, out to ride with the hunt or stay with friends for the weekend. Then a switch in jobs from the wholesale food business to wine importing left him free to switch residency as well. “I no longer had to be in D.C. every day, and where else does anybody want to live?” he asked rhetorically. Inspired by Rappahannock and ensconced in a cottage on the outskirts of Washington, Pellegatta began his quest to capture the county on film. “Living out here, I had more chances to explore,” he said. His little white car came to be a familiar sight, pulled off on the shoulder of a back road, the driver off traipsing with his camera ready to frame the perfect scene in the perfect light. Initially, Pellegatta took photos just to please himself. “That was all it was going to be when I started - a hobby. But I liked some of the shots so much, I showed them to friends. When the fourth or fifth person said ’Ted, you should do something with that,’ I thought I might as well try.” In the interim, Pellegatta had opened a gallery in Washington. To an eclectic collection of papier-mache sculpture, paintings, weavings and arty photographs, he hung a few of his pictures of Rappahannock -and his pictures of Rappahannock sold. “I used to joke with these heavy duty photographers who had cover credits with Life and Time magazines that I was going to have to open a gallery so I’d have a place to hang my own work. All of a sudden, it wasn’t a joke anymore!” By the time a flood in the basement gallery ended that venture, Pellegatta had already refocused his entrepreneurial energy on expanding the format for his camera and establishing other outlets and markets for his work. He dropped down to cards that bring the view along with greetings from Rappahannock. He went up to 8x10 enlargements that fit the big Blue Ridge vistas. At present, he’s in the midst of negotiations, with deals in the offing for a coffee table picture book, a line of tee-shirts, boxed cards to be offered through a catalog. “You name it. I'll consider it,” said the lifelong salesman who, for the first time, is selling his own creations. “If the deals I’m working on now all come through, I’ll be incredibly busy. And if they all fall through. I’ll just keep trying.” With the loss of the gallery, Pellegatta’s only established outlet was the local stores that sell his greeting cards. So during the busy summer and fall tourist season, he set up shop at the Emporium’s flea market while he looked for a more permanent home. He found one at Rush River in Washington. That showcase for artists will begin offering his photographs later this month. Filling the wall space is not a problem. As busy as he’s been with the marketing end, Pellegatta has been even busier with the lens end of his new career. “It was a perfect spring and summer, not just for farmers and gardeners but for photographers!” he enthused. “I’ve taken over a thousand photographs since April. “My goal is to bring to other people what I see in Rappahannock -not just the views, but the mood, the feeling of this incredible place,” Pellegatta continued . “If photography is an art form, then the county makes it very difficult and very easy, both at the same time, to be an artist. Very difficult because what’s here is so overwhelming and I’ll never capture it all. Very easy because Rappahannock is such a magically beautiful spot.” Ted Pellegatta Lennie, played by Ray Miller, sits by the river in this scene from ‘Of Mice and Men,’ now playing at Rappahannock High School, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Players stage powerful drama By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer In 1937 John Steinbeck wrote both the short novel and the play, “Of Mice and Men.” After 55 years this Depression era drama still has the power and emotional intensity to leave an audience drained and empty. The Rappahannock County Players have produced an excellent rendition of this American tragedy and morality play set on a California farm during the barley harvest. In fact, the players have outdone themselves. Although the rolls are not as fully developed as those in A Lion in Winter for example, the climax is more powerful and more frightening than the finale of Wait Until Dark, which the players produced several years ago. Special mention must be made of Ray Miller’s interpretation of Lennie, the mentally retarded giant who loves to pet soft things but who can not control his enormous strength. For years he has been protected by his friend, George, played by Will Arias. George finds work for the two of them. He keeps their work cards. He bails Lennie out of trouble. As the foil to Lennie, George is short and lithe, playing against the slowmoving mass of Lennie. As the play opens, George and Lennie are resting on a river bank just a short hike away from their next job. Lennie is petting a mouse, enjoying the soft touch of its fur while oblivious to its crusher! hear). Review As they enjoy the campfire (the flickering flames are a marvelous piece of stagecraft devised by props manager Glen August), Lennie insists on hearing yet again George’s dream of a small farm. This mythic Eden will provide them with all they need to “live off the fat of the land.” And Lennie aches to care for the rabbits, hoping they will be big enough to withstand his caresses. George hopes the two of them can hold a job long enough to raise a small stake, but his simple plans are framed by Lennie’s incessant mantra: “Tell me about the rabbits, George.” The next morning the two of them show up at the farm meet another dreamer, the bunk house sweep Candy, played by Norm Gettsinger. Crippled by a farming accident, Candy longs to share Lennie’s dream and is willing to trade his small bankroll for a piece of that idyllic farm. But once the farm hands return from the barley fields for lunch, the play begins to pick up steam. Dreams give way to reality, and the reality is rough. First there is trouble over Candy’s tired old dog. Then more trouble appears in the sultry shape of Curley’s wife, portrayed by Daphna Laurie. Curley is the boss’s son, a mean, hyperactive little welterweight, ably played by Robin Day. Curley has learned in just a few weeks of marriage that he has married a tart. His wife can not keep her eyes off other men. Like yapp.v little (logs everywhere, Curly has to pick a fight with the biggest thing around. Knowing he can not handle Slim, the rangy mule skinner played bv Dave Gilman, he wades into the hulking Lennie, who stops the fight by simply grabbing hold of Curly’s hand - and crushing it as easily as he crushes a mouse that dares to nip his finger. When the men go off to the cat house that evening laughing at Curly’s misfortune, Lennie seeks the companionship of Crooks, the black hostler who tends the horses and mules. The Rev. Ludwell Brown of Amissville uses his rich voice to good effect as he tries to explain to Lennie what it means to be the subject of racial hostility. But Lennie is so retarded he can not understand the obvious: he and Crooks have both been badly mistreated by their fellow bindlestiffs. From the mouse to Candy’s dog, to Curly’s hand, to Curly’s wife, the play drives forward, building in intensity and speed, until it crashes to a stop on the river bank where it began. The opening night audience walked silently out of the high school last Friday to stand in the dark and breathe the crisp fresh air. The slience outside was a fitting tribute to the cast and to Howard Coon, trying his hand for the first time as a director. * This is a powerful drama, part tragedy and part morality play. It is performed with great intensity by the cast and crew of the Rappahannock Players. Those who are fortunate enough to experience it will not soon forget George and Lennie, Slim and the others. The play is probably not suitable for small children. They should not be asked to consider the frightful choice confronting George. \ Roundabout Exhibiting members invited Artists interested in becoming Exhibiting Members of Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va. may submit work for the “12 Days of Christmas” Show from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22.

Elizabeth Johnson, Ted Chapman, and Bob Scott joined Dot Mank in a panel Mrs. Mank had organized to tell stories of haunted houses in Rappahannock, neighboring Warren County and ghost stories from as far away as Valley Forge and Winchester. They sat at a small table covered with a white tablecloth lit only with candles. Stories ranged from a vision Goerge Washington was reported to have had at Valley Forge to snippets of ghost stories from the Washington House in Washington, Virginia, and the old Eastham house in Flint Hill. But the star of the evening was Sam. Mrs. Johnson told of the experiences she, Peggy Smith, Mrs. Smith’s daughter, a housequest and “Susie”, a medium, had with Sam, the ghost of Samuel Warren Mills, a union soldier who found himself at Oak Hill, at that time the home of Lucy Miller, Mr. Johnson’s grandmother, arid now the home of Peggy and Arthur Smith. » The folk group Trapezoid will appear at The Barns of Wold Trap at 8 p.m., Nov. 27.

Mark Twain put his finger on what causes parents to suiter when he said, "When I was fourteen I thought my dad was the most ignorant man In the world. But when I became twenty-one, I was amazed how much the old man had learned in seven short years. ” That reality of such an experience not only causes pain in parents, it also produces maturity. Maturity comes from being able to survive some of the frustrations that come from parenting children, especially during teenage years. Yet, when the children follow Hebrews' advice and "go on to maturity," then the parents experience a growing maturity that comes precisely because they have hung in there with the growing children. And both children and parents ultimately come to know the joy of being tamily and more importantly of being a “maturing family.” Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Math Acts Acts Psalm Isaiah Psalm Acts 9:14 29 1421-15:21 1522-41 17 56:1-6 6 9:1-19 Copyright 1992.

Turkey made easy By HELEN SMITH Eilrnaion Arnl, Horn* Emwmln Everyone has their favorite method for roasting turkey. Some use the traditional roasting method in an oven, some prefer the convenience of the oven cooking bag, while others prefer the flavor of barbecuing it on a grill. If you’re cooking a small turkey or turkey breast, you can even use a microwave oven. Traditional method The goal when roasting a turkey the traditional way is to have an even golden brown appearance and crisp exterior. Slow oven roasting assures a roasted flavor. Make a tent of aluminum foil to keep the turkey moist while preventing over-browning and spattering. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove neck and giblets from both cavities of defrosted turkey. Rinse turkey, pat dry and brush with vegetable oil. Insert meat thermometer info inner thigh for whole turkey or into thickest part of breast for turkey breast. Place turkey, breast side up; in roasting pan. I'Make foil tent by tearing off a shiet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Grpase foil crosswise through centt$r. Place over turkey, leaving one tojwo inches between top of turkey and foil tent for heat circulation. Cfimp foil onto long sides of pan to hold in place. i Roast until meat thermometer reads 180 degrees-185 degrees F. for whole turkey or 170 degrees-175 degrees for turkey breast. For stuffed turkey, add 30 minutes to roasting tiirie. For a browner turkey, remove foil tent 30 minutes before roasting is finished. , For easy slicing, cover turkey with foil and let stand 15 minutes aftef removing from oven. Oven cooking bag method "This is the self-basting method of cocking turkey. The turkey cooks up tender and juicy in an oven cooking bag with no messy cleanup. The skin m$y not be as “crisp” as traditional method, but the advantage is the turkey will be juicy and well-done, but not dried out. * Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Shake one tablespoon flour in a turkey size oven cooking bag. Leave flour in bag. This helps blend the fats and juices and protects against bursting. Place bag in roasting pan at-least two inches deep. The pan should be large enough that the bag does not hang over sides and does not touch oven walls or oven racks. HOME ECONOMICS Remove neck and giblets from cavities of defrosted turkey. Rinse and pat dry. Brush skin with two tablespoons vegetable oil. Slice one onion and two stalks of celery, place in bags. Place turkey breast side up, on top of vegetables. Close bag with nylon tie; cut six half-inch slits in top of bag. Insert meat thermometer into inner thigh for whole turkey or into thickest part of breast for turkey breast. Roast as above. Barbecue method This method requires a covered barbecue grill and heavy duty aluminum foil. The apj)earance will be even golden brown and “crisp" exterior. The meat just under the skin may have a pink color, typical of charcoal cooked turkey. The advantage of this method is that it’s easy and t frees up your oven for other parts of the meal. Line a charcoal grill with heavy duty aluminum foil to keep after-themeal cleanup to a minimum. Do not line a gas grill. Open all vents and punch holes through foil at grill vent openings, allowing for air circulation. Arrange charcoal in pyramid shape in bottom of grill and ignite. When coals are hot, place a large barbecue drip pan carefully in center of grill. Arrange coals on either side. A foil drip pan made by folding aluminum foil together may be substituted. Remove giblets and neck. Rinse turkey, pat dry and brush with vegetable oil. I)o not stuff turkey - cook stuffing separately in oven. Insert meat thermometer. Grease grill rack with vegetable oil. Place turkey, breast side up, on grill rack above drip pan. Cook in covered grill over medium, in direct heat until meat thermometer reads ISO degrees to 185 degrees for whole turkey or 170 de grees to 175 degrees for turkey breast. Add additional charcoal every 45 to 50 minutes. It will take two to three hours for eight to 12 pound turkey; three to four hours for 12 to 16 pounds. This method is not recommended for 16 to 24 pound turkeys. Microwave method This method is recommended only for small whole turkeys and turkey breasts not over 12 pounds. Use an oven cooking bag to promote even cooking. The appearance will be light brown with the use of a browning and seasoning sauce. Skin is not “crisp” but resembles microwave cooked chicken. The advantage is that this is the fastest method for cooking a small eight to 12 pound turkey. Prepare oven cooking bag with flour, celery and onion as described above. Rinse turkey and pat dry. Brush with two tablespoons vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon browning or seasoning sauce. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika for additional color. Do not stuff turkey. Use an instant-read thermometer after cooking. Remember you can’t put a metal thermometer in the microwave oven. Cook turkey seven to nine minutes per pound and breast 11 to 13 minutes per pound, rotating dish every 15 minutes or use a turntable in the microwave oven. For easy slicing, let stand 10 minutes after removing from oven. To open, carefully cut or slit top of bag being careful not to get a burn from steam. Hints for leftovers After cooking, remove stuffing immediately and slice turkey. Keep extra stuffing hot in a 200 degree oven while you eat. Refrigerate and use leftover turkey, stuffing and gravy within two to four days or wrap' leftovers in heavy duty aluminmum foil and freeze for longer storage. Use within one to two months. The following recipes are ways to use your turkey leftovers. Turkey brunswick stew 2 cups turkey broth 1 cup canned tomatoes or chopped fresh tomatoes 2 1/2 cups fresh or canned whole kernel corn 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen lima beans 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cups coarsely chopped cooked turkey 1/4 teaspoon ginger Salt and pepper H IF You see Mptt t^ah OZ RAINBOW \f$ TIME To a’g&MTO* VCEL6BWJE.
