Circulation County businesses 'wait and *1' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock citizens are taking a “wait and see" attitude toward proposals on the economy President Bill Clinton made during his State of the Union address last Wednesday. Will higher taxes on gasoline hurt the tourist business or mean that fewer people will want to live in Rappahannock and commute to jobs out of the county? Will higher taxes on the wealthy mean that fewer will come to eat at The Inn at Little Washington? Will we receive any more monies from proposals for increased funding for Head Start, childhood immunizations, and the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program? Will any of this lead to a growing economy with more good jobs? John Conry, chief executice officer for the Rappahannock National Bank, noted that President Clinton put great emphasis on encouraging small businesses. He wants to know' whether this will mean any changes in the “regulations heaped on us in the last year or two.” He said these regulations, the result of bills passed by the U.S. Congress, have made it difficult for bankers to make loans to small businesses. He said a survey by the Independent Bankers Association indicated “$86 billion could be freed up to make loans if we could get away from a lot of the red tape.” He noted that the banking industry is heavily regulated and that many new regulations have been passed as a result of bad loans made “mostly in commercial real estate” during the 80s. He said that small businessmen, “who weren’t involved in those episodes” are being made to suffer because of the new regulations. “The pendulum swings to correct one bad situation and creates another,” he added. He said that this is not a theoretical problem. Locally the bank has not been able to make loans to small businesses because of paperwork and security requirements. Even if the businessman is able to supply information to complete the paperwork, the bank may not be able to make the loan, he said. “Regulators look with a jaundiced eye at our small business lending,” he said. “Small business is inherently more risky than large business. We’re here to make loans to small businesses, but if the requirements are so restrictive they can’t meet the cri‘ teria, we can’t make the loan.” He noted that with low interest rates, now is a good time to be a borrower. “We have a new President with a new outlook. He is very proactive. We’ll have to wait and see what the effect is,” he Said. He is interested in seeing whether the Clinton economic program can actually reduce the deficit. “I'm hopeful there will be a real gain arKj fuej to get the economic engine going again to create jobs,” he said. Rose Ann Sharp, director of the Child Care and Learning Center, said she does not know whether full funding for Head Start will mean any difference for the center. Noting that there is a proposal to extend Head Start into the summer months, she said the center is interested in having such a program, but that it usually takes more than a year before such funding proposals work their way down to Rappahannock County. She said she is also interested in exploring a summer program for the school-aged siblings of Head Start children, but does not know if funds will be available for that. Marion Sharp, the county’s public health nurse, does not know what increased funding for childhood immunization will mean. County children have for years been able to get routine childhood immunizations for free from the Health Department regardless of family income. The Health Department also administers the WIC program. Under that program eligible pregnant women, infants and children five and under receive free nutrition counselling and vouchers to purchase cerSee County, Page A-8 Nigerian culture exhibited By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nigerian Okon Akpan brought his traveling museum and a video of African dances to the county library last Saturday evening for the library’s celebration of Black History Month. Mr. Akpan said that the Soul Train has its origins in the “Rooster Dance” from Nigerian villages. “It’s a continuation of what was when Africans came here,” he said. “It’s something nobody has been able to destroy.” He said that children learn traditional dances as part of physical education in Nigerian village schools, but some of village culture is being lost. He explained the origin of his name. Many children add an English name now, he said. “Some trade their heritage for something that is foreign,” he added. He used masks, beads, musical instruments and dolls to explain various aspects of Nigerian culture. See Africa, Page A-8 Nigerian Okon Akpan shows off some of his traveling museum.

County planners review capital improvement plan By SHARON KILPATRICK Kappahannock News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy brought a first draft of the 1994-98 Capital Improvements Plan to the Planning Commission members last Wednesday. The plan does not include any funds for school expansion except $100,000 to purchase land in the next budget. The largest items in the plan are $400,000 in 1994, 4 $420,000 in 1995 and $428,000 on 1996 for closing the current cell at the landfill ami opening a new one. No figures are given for 1997 or 1998, but Mr. McCarthy said there would still be cQsts similar to those for theOearlier Wtrs. Mr. McCajiny explained that if the county contracts with Fauquier County to take Rappahannock trash, most of that spending will not be needed. He said that in addition to the capital expenses for the landfdl the county is paying approximately $200,000 for hauling trash from the dumpsters in Huntly and Scrabble and for burying the trash at the landfill. The county is currently generating approximately 18 tons of trash per day. The tipping fee at Fauquier See Money, Page A-7 Anti-Park resolution is defeated By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The most recent troubles with the Shenandoah national Park began when Sen. Frank W. Nolen (I).) of Augusta County offered a small amendment to Senate Joint Resolution 348. The original resolutionhad been submitted by Sen. Henry L. Marsh (I).) of Richmond, who wanted to urge Congress to limit the Secretary of Interior’s right of condemnation to acquire property for the Richmond National Battlefield Park within the county of Henrico. Nolen’s addition would have urged Congress to establish that the only authorized boundary of the Shenandoah National Park “be that boundary which contains the acreage presently owned by the Department of Interior and known as the Shenandoah National Park.” The result of this idea, if it ever should become Federal law, would be to prevent the Park ' from accepting donations of land that touches its present boundary. Sen. Marsh had backed away from the whole idea and asked the Speaker of the House to kill it in the Rules Committee. When the resolution came before the House Rules Committee last Friday, however, the committee room was filled with people, many from Madison County, who do not want the Park to expand for any reason.The committee refused to kill the resolution on Friday and laid it over until Monday for another hearing. On Monday when Marsh refused to come and defend the resolution, Speaker of the House Thomas W. Moss (D.) of Norfolk, refused to bring the matter up for discussion. Nolan, however, would not quit and attempted to stick the idea onto House Joint Resolution 557, which was up for a hearing on the Senate side later Monday afternoon. His quest was slowed after Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan(D.) of Mason Neck south of Alexandria read from the Shenandoah National Park Act, which makes very clear that the only way the Shenandoah Park can acquire land is by gift, either from public or private sources. By a vote of 8-7 the committee stalled Sen. Nolan again.

Highway crews worked all day to keep the county’s paved roads passable and by Sunday evening the roads were mostly cleared of ice and snow. Then the temperature dropped early Monday morning and turned shaded sections of roadway into ice covered traps. At 5:30 a.m. Aubrey Frye, 34, of Woodville found a patch of ice on U.S. 522 near Fletcher’s Mill while headed towards Sperryville. She lost control of her 1988 Ford Bronco and slid off the right side of the road. The vehicle suffered minor damage but she was not hurt, according to a report filed by trooper S.M. Knick.

By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock News Special Writer VIENNA — In a lively two-hour session last Thursday night, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries got an earful of advice from the general public. Supporters and opponents of the state’s bear-chasing season dominated much of the discussion. Also supported by many speakers: increased limits on deer, especially does, and possible changes to the current dual-opening of seasons for archery and squirrel. About 200 people attended the public hearing at the National Wildlife Federation Building. Several of the speakers either live or hunt in Rappahannock and Fauquier County. The hearing was the last in a process which will continue with state game commission hearings in the spring and will end with the release of hunting regulations for the state in 1993-94 and 1994-95. The turnout was a dramatic contrast to a Feb. 1 meeting at the same location. At that meeting, called with very little public buildup, less than two dozen people showed up and only about a half-dozen spoke to the game department officials who had assembled there. “We’re very glad to have this crowd,” said Elsa Porter, a member of the state game commission. “It’s a lot better than last time." • ' Though not addressed directly, a ! subtext in many of the evening’s re! marks was the ongoing conflict be| tween landowners — concerned ; about both damage to crops caused by deer and the perceived risks represented by permitting hunting on their land — and eager hunters. “A lot of people, they hate the deer on their property,” said Joe Hale, a Prince William County resident who was representing a hunt club in Fauquier County. “But the only thing they hate more is deer hunters.” Bob Dennis of Rappahannock County, representing the Piedmont Environmental Council, reported on positions taken by the PEC board in a Feb. 5 meeting: that the state’s deer population needs to be reduced; that the present deer season is, from the perspective of landowners, too long; and that the general ban on Sunday hunting in the state should continue. Dennis stepped out of his role as PEC spokesman for some personal observations: “I think the entire deer season should be either-sex . . . as the deer populatioon has grown, it’s my impression hunters have grown increasingly careless in their behavior ... I accept that a shorter deer season would be hard on somebody who enjoys being outdoors as much as me. but the seven week general season grinds harshly on rural landowners." , Dennis proposed a split general deer season with the first half at Thanksgiving and the second half starting on Dec. 26. John Plummer, who said he hunts primarily in Nelson and Augusta Counties, called for a longer deer season west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and said, “I wish you RABIES CLINIC Rappahannock Animal Shelter located at Rappahannock Landfill on Rt. 639 Saturday, March 6,1993 10 a.m. -11 a.m. Cost $5.00 Per animal 3 year vaccinations for cats and dogs Dr. Fayette Witherell A current Rabies Innoculaiion Certificate is required for dog tags.

A lot of people don’t have the time off during the week and that basically limits them to hunting on Saturdays.” Tom Peterson of Falls Church, an Environmental Protection Agency economist whose family farm is in Fauquier County, suggested the increased use of primitive weapons — black powder muzzleloaders and bow-and-arrow — in more-populated areas. “The deer population is very high in areas where the human population level is very high,” Peterson said, citing the potential for conflict in such a situation. Primitive weapons, with much a shorter range than high-powered rifles, pose less of a risk when used near populated areas,” he said. “We used primitive weapons zones and seasons with great effectiveness in Arkansas, where I used to live,” Peterson said. An avid hunter himself, Peterson said he did not address another of his concerns — the controversial bear chase season. “It’s basically on the way out everywhere,” he said. “I’m a little surprised they’re considering going the other way with it here.” The chase season, begun last year, is on the books for at least one more season. There are competing efforts underway, either to stop the chase season altogether or to extend its hours to automatically include nighttime chase opportunities, now available only through a special waiver. (Bear chasing is only permitted in counties, such as Rappahannock, where bear hunting is permitted. The season does not exist in Fauquier County or the more urban counties to the north and east.) Representatives of The Fund for Animals and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals braved a chilly reception from the largely prohunting crowd to speak against the bear chase, but others — identifying themselves as generally pro-hunting — also expressed their concerns. Henry Bibber of Manassas, who said he had hunted in the past, assailed the bear chase as “more a form of torture of the animal.” At the same time, he cited “maybe some reluctance on the part of some hunters towards criticizing other hunters” as being behind part of the silence on the issue. Hunting critics at the meeting were clearly laboring under no such handicaps. Heidi Prescott, national outreach rlirector for The Fund for Animals, Asked that “all hound-hunting practices, including the new bear pursuit season, be halted,” citing concerns About the effects of the chase season >n bear population and the potential for poaching and cruelty. The appearance of hunting foes At the public hearing brought Bob Foubare, a member of the Southern Fauquier Hunt Club, to the microshone to speak in favor of an earlier start to bow season and in favor of Sunday hunting. And something nore. “If you don’t believe they’re jut to stop your hunting rights, *’ou’d better wake up," Foubare said, gesturing to the animal-rights Activists who were in attendance. “There are thousands and thousands of hunters and fishermen in this state and they want to do away with all of it.” His remarks were greeted with a rousing round of applause from the packed auditorium. Bob Cockrell, representing a hunting club with 12,000 acres in Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier Counties, called for an increase in “doe days” as one answer to the deer population problem. “In NOTICE OF INTENT TO MAKE APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FOR THE TOWN OF WASHINGTON On Monday, March 8, 1993 at 1:00 o'clock p.m. in the Courtroom at the Courthouse in Washington, Va., the Honorable William Shore Robertson, Judge of the Rappahannock Circuit Court will receive public comment and interview candidates who wish to be considered for appointment to serve on the Board of Zoning Appeals for the Town of Washington.

Diane Bruce, Clerk Rappahaffliock Circuit C6urt PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee hereby announces that it will hold a caucus at March 13, 1993 at 12:00 P.M. at the Rappahannock County courthouse in Washington, Virginia, for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the Tenth District Convention and the State Democratic Convention to be held on May 7 & 8. 1993 in Richmond, Virginia. The Tenth District Convention will nominate twenty (20) people to the State Central Committee, and three (3) members each to the Permanent Rules and Permanent Credentials Commiee, and conduct such other business as required. The District Convention will be held at April 17 at 11 A. M. at the Hyatt Fair Lakes, 12777 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, Virginia. The 1992 State Democratic Convention will convene for the purpose of (1) electing electing State Party officers and members of the State Central Committee to terms of four years, and (2) nominating democratic candidates for the offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General. The Convention shall continue until all business set forth in accordance with the 1993 Call and any subsequent agenda provided by the Convention Rules Committee, shall be completed. Any person attending a caucus, before participating in that caucus, shall sign a standardized declaration form, stating that he or she is a Democrat, does not intend to support any candidate who is opposed to a democratic nominee in the ensuing general election, is not a member of any other political party, and is a registered voter in such precinct or county or city. Declaration forms must be filled out at the caucus site prior to 12:00 P.M. Doors to the caucus will be closed at this time and no person may complete a form or enter the caucus site after this time with the exception of those persons in line at the above mentioned time. Persons wishing to be delegates or alternates to these conventions must prefile, with the chair of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee or his designees listed below. They must also pay a $20.00 administrative fee or sign a waiver. All forms must be received prior to 5:00 P.M. March 6,1993. The following persons have been designated to dispense and receive prefiling forms: , Douglas K.

If you’re going to increase the harvest, give us another doe tag.” Hale agreed that the regulations need to be adjusted to increase the doe harvest. “If you increase doe kills, people might pass up some of the smaller bucks, give them a chance to mature,” he said. “Right now, people feel like they’ve got to kill the first deer they see.” The Vienna meeting was the last in a series of statewide public hearings on non-migratory game regulations for the next two seasons. Wildlife officials are expected to draft some proposed changes in their regulations, which will be consid ered at another round of public hearings — probably in Richmond — in April and June. One general area of agreement at last week’s meeting was that the public input is important, though Fund for Animals’ Prescott said she was “skeptical that the department gives much weight to the critics of hunting.” On the other side of the equation, hunting supporters like Peterson were pleased. “As a first step, it> essential,” he said. “I don’t think they should make decisions strictly on the basis of what they hear here, but the people obviously have a need to be heard and that’s important. “I think the department is doing i great job. The real debates in Virginia right now are about fine-tuning the things that are already in place.” Deputy sheriff has her suspicions confirmed The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department is actively looking for Charles C. Boykin, 30, of Manassas following an incident early Saturday morning. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Deputy Connie Compton \fras returning to Washington from Amissville about 2:50 a.m. when she saw an unknown vehicle turn into a driveway off U.S. 211 near Mayhugh’s Store. (‘She knew the family at that house and did not recognize the car,“ he explained.) She pulled in behind the vehicle and the driver told her he was having mechanical trouble and asked for a ride to the Sheriffs Office, Sheriff Woodward said. Describing the incident from the deputy’s report, Woodward said that she explained department policy requires a pat down search before letting anyone into the car. That search turned up a beeper and $1,780 in cash but Boykin refused to provide any identification, Deputy Compton reported she smelled a strong odor of marijuana on the man and asked for permission to serch his car. That request was denied. Deputy Compton then placed him under arrest on a charge of no operator’s license. At that point he fled into the dark, Sheriff Woodward said. The car was impounded and a warrant obtained for a serch, which turned up a wallet, a .38 caliber twoshot derringer, and a bottle containing a white powder. The wallet contained identification and allowed the department to learn that Boykin is wanted throughout the area. Prince William County has charged him with parole violation following a robbery conviction. Shenandoah County also has charged him with parole violation following conviction of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Fauquier County has charged him with possession of PCP, a controlled substance. The Rappahannock Sheriffs Office is preparing warrants for resisting arrest/escape, driving on a suspended license, possession of a concealed weapon, and (depending on the results of a lab analysis) possession of cocaine.

Bull Run District tournament Rappahannock just misses upset of the season By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer After being blown away twice during the regular season by Clarke County’s powerful inside game, Rappahannock basketball coach Gary Leake finally figured it out: If you can’t keep Clarke’s big forwards away from the basket, deny them the ball. It worked, almost to perfection. For three quarters the Panthers played inspired defense against the much larger Clarke Eagles. They completely shut down the Eagles attack underneath the basket. Wesley Paige, the Eagles exceptional senior forward, who can slam dunk the ball with ease, was held to two outside jumpers, one for three points, and two foul shots. Every time he got close to the basket, Rappahannock’s match-up zone shut off the passing lanes. The Panthers were up by one after eight minutes, 12-11, and down by only four at the half, 21-25. After three quarters the game was again tied at 35-35, and the Eagles were beginning to have a worried look. The low score was caused in part by the Panthers deliberate attempt to slow down the pace of the game. Although at times the passing patterns looked like Dean Smith’s fabled four-corners stall ball, Coach Leake was trying to do something else. When it worked, sophomore guard Ray Atkins or senior Kevin Jolliffe would streak down the center of the lane, catch a pass on the fly and lay the ball in the basket. Then with 3:42 showing on the clock senior J.C. Welch fouled out of the game. It was a tough break for Rappahannock as Jolliffe was the only player for the Panthers left on the court with any tournament experience. Speaking after the game Clarke’s coach Mike Sipe admitted that Rappahannock “played well enough to win - they just didn’t get the breaks at the end.’’ Perhaps he was referring to two obviously blown calls in the closing minutes of the game. With 5:50 left to play Jolliffe was hammered as he drove the lane and went up for a shot. Just before making a face-first landing on the floor, he tossed the ball in the air. Somehow it came straight down through the hoop. *1fidvROfv Guaranteed to give never failing advice on all watters of life Palm £ Tarot Card readings also available 635-9943 As the fans roared in delight at the improbable shot, one referee signaled the basket good and awarded one shot for the foul. Then the other referee came over and insisted that the ball did not, in fact, go through the basket. He prevailed and Jolliffe went to the foul line to shoot one-and-one as the entire gymnasium bellowed in disbelief. Jolliffe was so rattled he missed the front end and the score remained 38-37 for the Panthers. The other bad break occurred with less than a minute to go when the Eagles were up, 49-47, and obvious goal tending was not called. It would have tied the game.

The final score was 52-47, but it doesn't indicate the intensity of the game. Talking about the game after a night’s sleep. Coach Leake said “the final score might have been 9-2, because they had nine seniors on their squad ami we had only two.” “A lot of credit goes to the guys for excuting the game plan nearely to perfection. Every starter did what he had to do to give us an opportunity to win." Leake said. He praised Jolliffe for having one of this best games of the season, or both defense and offense, scoring 24 points and going 8-11 at the foul line. Jonathan Fletcher and Jason Settle had 23 rebounds between them, and each of them “had his best defensive game of the season as well,” he added. COME FLV UIITH ME . .

Logging safety stressed Richmond - In an effort to combat the rising number of injuries anc fatalities among Virginia’s loggers, the Virginia Department of Laboi and Industry (DLI) has announced a special training and assistance program. The program is designed to encourage voluntary compliance with occupational safety and health regulations through safety training conducted by a DLI training coordinator at the loggers’ work site. “The key to a safe workplace is effective safety training,” said Carol Amato, Virginia Commissioner ol Labor and Industry. “I am pleased to have the cooperation of the logging industry so that we can bettei assist employers.” The logging industry has an illness and injury rate which is twice as high as the rate for general industry. Logging fatalities in Viginia ac‘ count for more than five percent of the workrelated fatalities, yet employees working in the lumber and wood, products, including loggers, comprise less than one percent (.87 percent) of the workforce. These high accident rates ha,ve driven up the cost of worker’s compensation insurance to the point where it adds $33 to every $100 of logging industry payrolls. However, most logging accidents are preventable and it has been proven that effective training programs can significantly reduce the incidence of injuries. Reducing the number of injuries will in turn reduce th|e cost to employers of worker’s compensation coverage. “We are encouraging our loggers to take advantage of this free on-site training,” said Charlie Finley, VFA Execvtuve Director. “We appreciate DLI’s responsiveness to the needs of our industry by providing this service.” New OSH A standards for logging are expected within the next few months.

I hr Audit Burr.iu WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1993 Whose property rights? With any luck at all Sen. Frank Nolen’s attempts to {strangle the Shenandoah National Park have been quashed for this year at the General Assembly. He represents the 24th District, which includes Rockbridge and Augusta counties and the eastern part of Rockingham county — the part that borders the Park. He represents a small but loud minority in Rockingham County that sees itself as fighting to preserve property rights. This movement has strong support in Madison County as well. Their view is that the park service, through its continual fight to preserve and improve air quality while slowing the growth of subdivisions along the park’s flanks, is unduly restricting their property rights. Their stated goal as pushed by Sen. Nolan is to permanently restrict the Shenandoah Park to its current boundaries. That is, they want to change Federal law so that the Park Service can no longer accept gifts of land. Obviously one man’s property right is another’s property restriction. Superintendent Bill Wade has said many times that the Shenandoah National Park does not want to accept every parcel offered to it as a gift. Some tracts are more suitable as game reserves, he has said. Only when the land in question hat dbvious values that complement the Park is the Interior Department willing to accept it. ; There are people who own land that abuts the park and Who want to leave that land to the Park when they die. In many instances the Park Service already has agreed to acept the land if offered. It would be folly to legislate against this ust of land and a gross violation of a citizen’s right to dispose of property. Thank You, Brion The Fourth Annual Science Fair isnow history. In today’s paper is a letter from Brion Patterson thanking all who helped jmd another from Sid Gottleib, who helped judge the exhibits. The fair offered students from both the elementary and the high school a taste of the scientific method: develop a hypothosis; design a way to test it that controls the variables; run the experiment; collate the data; and reach a conclusion. - Many of them found their conclusion at odds with their original idea. Others discovered they hadn’t controlled the right variables. They asked all sorts of questions: Which . bleach works best? How do you determine the shortest route for a travedling salesman? How can you get more kernels of popcorn to pop? It is an interesting question: Who had more fun, the students or the judges?It was a great pleasure to walk through the 80 or so exhibits and talk with the students. What had they learned? What might they have done differently? But the driving force behind this effort is Brion Patterson, a dedicated teacher at Rappahannock County High School. He organized the science fair. He found the judges and coached them on how to approach their task. He worked with students and teachers at both schools to make it work. The students, parents and teachers of this county owe him thanks for his dedication and effort to make the fair a success. Thank you, Brion.

Letters to the Editor Hospice offers different options To the Editor: This letter is prompted by the frenzy of recent suicide deaths in which the so-called Suicide Doctor, Jack Kevorkian, “assisted.” As I write this, Kevorkian has been involved in three such deaths in five days, and each death was accompanied by widespread coverage in all the media. The greatest danger in this saturation of media attention is that it ■ may give terminally ill people the impression that Kevorkian’s way is the only alternative to futile, expensive and often painful medical care. This is not true. For terminally ill patients and their families, there is another choice, and it is called Hospice ('are. It is a form of care for the terminally ill that enables them to live fully and as pain-free as possible before they die, allowing them to spend their last days in dignity, making peace with themselves and their loved ones. Hospice treats all the needs of such patients through a team that includes physicians, nurses, nursing aides, counselors, therapists, clergy and volunteers. In most cases, the patient can be cared for in the home, with a relative or close friend serving as the “primary caregiver.” Hospice also tends to the needs of the patient’s family, advising them howbest to handle the many practical and emotional problems involved. Hospice is becoming increasingly known and more widely used. Last year, for example, (i9 patients relieved Hospice Care in our community, and nationwide the total was well over 210,000 patients. Hospice has become so accepted that it is now covered bv Medicare. Medicaid and most private insurers. Because of strong community support. Hospice of the Kapidan provides full services to anyone without regard to ability to pay. Unlike l)r. Kevorkian, Hospice operates openly. Ours is a community-based organization that opens its ai ms to everyone. Further information about our service can be obtained by calling (TOM) N2.r>-4K40. Although our service is only provided to terminally ill patients, experience has taught us that the earlier hospice enters a case, the more effective our help can be. For this reason, and because it is also good personal planning, we invite all inquiries-even those where there may be no immediate need for Hospice. It is not our place or intention to pass judgment on I)r. Kevorkian or on the people whose desperation drove them to seek his services. But to those who think his way is the only way, please investigate Hospice Care. Kven in the face of terminal illness, comfort, dignity, and quality in living is possible. •JEAN FALK MORGAN Hospice of The Kapidan These two deer left uncounted To the Editor: Regarding your recent article about the number of deer killed in Rappahannock County, there are two deer in Gid Brown Hillow^ that didn’t get counted: The deer are hungry They’re eating the leaves off the rhododendrums Next to the house The dog sniffs at the plants Walk to the river The water tumbles over the rocks Happy water The dog splashes into it Chasing a stick Follow the old rock wall Through the woods Moss at the base of the tree The only green The birds are quiet The dog runs She smells the deer Before she sees them There are two Lying next to the rock wall One is stretched on its back Like the dog when she wants Her stomach rubbed The other is on its side Both butchered It smells bad here And the view is ugly A Lite beer can With a bullet through it The men are hungry. JUDITH EUENTES Washington Additional school is still needed To the Editor: To be or not to be..Was that the question? Whether to build a middle school in Rappahanncok County or not? That question did not survive the Board of Supervisor’s chopping block. A proposal for an addition supplanted the issue. There is no question of a new school any longer, merely, how will the Board vote on March 1 concernijg the dollar figure submitted for this proposed addition? The chances of building a Vocational Ed Center are dust in the wind, too! However, in the wake of the March first decision, depending on the outcome, another question could arise..do we start all over again? Yes! Yes! and Yes! Start from scratch again, and get it right next time! Gather new, energetic, resolute and inventive people that will focus on one aim, and only that one...building, planning, and funding the construction of a new school; be it primary, middle, or high. The problems of overcrowding, marginal equipment, unsanitary condition, and understaffing are paramount above other items on the chopping block. The proposed addition is a single temporary solution. This problem will raise its ugly head once again in a few years, because it simply was not met adequate Letters, Page A-5 THE WRITER'S ART Learn the rules before breaking them By JAMES J. KILPATRICK I'niventul Press Syndicate Grandaughter Jamie, in the living room, is playing the C scale. Before long she will put her small thumb firmly on A flat, and she will play the A-flat scale. She will play these first with her right hand, then with her left hand, then with both hands together. She does not like it much. Beloved Jamie, at 9, is a fiercely independent soul. She is slowly mastering Beethoven’s “Fur Elise,” which she regards as neat. Left alone she would rather improvise variations on a theme by the Grateful Dead. Ah, but first the scales. You will surmise that l am working my way into an analogy, and indeed I am. The musician must learn * to play the scales just as an artist must learn to draw. James F. Cooper, editor of American Arts Quarterly, recently made the point. To the old masters, he said, drawing was the beginning of the artistic process. Cooper told an appalling story: “A modest grant to a small art academy was recently denied by the National Endowment for the arts because, the terse NEA memo explained, ’teaching students to draw the human figure is revisionist and stifles creativity.’” Aaargh! What rubbish! No wonder the NEA keeps getting in trouble! Put a moron in charge of art criticism and you will get moronic decisions. 1 recall, a I have recalled before, visiting the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. One goes through room after room of Picasso’s early work. His portaits all have two eyes and one nose, right where nature says they belong. In time Picasso put eyes and noses wherever he felt they belonged, but first he had to learn to draw the human figure straight. The analogy to writing is self-evident. I keep whooping it up in this column for the old techniques of instruction. Every writer who aspires to write seriously should begin in the first grade by learning to spell. Through phonics the child learns the “con” sound, the “st” sound, the “tion” sound, and at age 6 she gets a dollar from grandfather by spelling “Constitution.” Some elementary schools - not many, but some - still use the old device of diagramming sentences. I wish every school still used the device. It is by diagramming that we gain understanding of the bones of a sentence, how the clauses are hinged, where the ligaments attach. The pupil who learns to diagram will not grow up to write, “Walking past the shabby beggar on the sidewalk, my wallet suddenly felt uncomfortably heavy.” Latin is important. The aspiring writer who learns even a little Latin is not likely to thank a hostess for inviting my husband and I to the party. Little remains of the subjunctive mood in English, but the rules for use of the subjunctive ought to be learned anyhow. Then the rules may be discarded at a writer’s informed discretion. That is what I am getting at. We have to do our scales. This is true in every field, not only in the arts. . Golf, tennis, bowling, baseball - the best athletes learn their fundamentals. Stravinsky became a master of dissonance, but he mastered harmony first. The foolish bureaucrat at the NEA said that teaching students to draw “stifles creativity.” Well, sure. If the art of teaching is badly prac ticed, certainly this can be so. In correcting a student’s theme, a teacher cannot condone errors in spelling and grammar, but there are ways of correcting a good paper without wounding the spirit that animates it. A good many years ago, students of English composition learned that the parts of a verb should be kept reasonably together. Unlike the Germans, who do it their way, we do not write that we have a good dinner of beef and potatoes eaten. We learn, therefore, that as a general rule we ought not to split infinitives. Very well. But now we are writing for The New York Times about the aborted nomination of Zoe! Baird to become attorney general.; We write, “The president and his advisers were wrestling with how to.‘ quietly urge her to withdraw.” Put; that abverb “quietly” anywhereelse, and both the cadence and the! meaning of the sentence are lost. ; Writers ought frequently to recur to fundamentals. Granddaughter Jamie is not likely ever to play Rachmaninoffs Second Concerto with the Boston Symphony, but this is certain: She never on earth will play it if she doesn’t master the C scale first.

From Page A-4 tely, as our Superintendant of Schools clearly pointed out. Let’s be realistic and accept the limping economy for what it is and move out of the swamp! It seems inconcievable that citizens and leaders of Rappahannock could not have joined together, put aside their selfserving needs just this once, and come out in force to endorse, defend, and sustain the building of a new school. If you were incensed to find put your taxes would increase with construction of a new school and everything that goes with it..why don’t you step beyond yourself for a moment and look at the bigger picture? Would paying higher taxes be the end of the world, or the inevitable? Will Rappahannock students have the best possible education with competitive skills in modern facilities with breathing and thinking room? Would you like to instill sterling principles and innovative problem solving by your own example? There’s a generation of potential scientists, doctor, writers, teachers, artists, and entrepreneurs entering the workforce in the 21st century that will emerge from Rappahannock County. They will affect change and be the decision makers of the nation when you and I are senior citizens with grandchildren. Does that thought leave you with a feeling of accountability? Make up any excuse you like to justify you condemnation of construction for a new school...but the bottom line is that ‘bigger picture.’ Are your values in focus? No. MARGARET M. ROGERS Peola Mills, Virginia Reader applauds science fair To the Editor: I had the privilege of being one of the judges in the Rappahannock County School Science Fair. The event involved every grade and class in the Elementary and High Schools, and it had to be worked into an already full load of activity by busy teachers and administrators. Further, the exhibition days coincided with state-wide Literacy Tests. This huge project therefore represented additional voluntary work by hard-working and dedicated school personnel. The Fair obviously was a great learning experience for the exhibitors, the viewers (students, parents, teachers, and judges), and the demonstrators. Somehow, the productions by the lower grade children (with the right dose of help from teachers and parents), were both impressive and moving. Equally impressive were the upper grade exhibits, and the peer teaching represented by the demonstrations on the stage. Here, teams of Mr. Patterson’s 12th grade physics class demonstrated basic principles of physics to groups of lower grade students. These included demonstrations of the Bernoulli effect, the torque force, the sound-analyzing oscilloscope, detection of radioactivity, finding the center of mass, and the physics of dry ice. All these demonstrations made the scientific principles involved easily understandable by, down-toearth, hands-on experiments. This is the fourth year for the Science Fair, and it gets better each year. Special plaudits should be given to all the faculty involved, especially Brion Patterson, who organizes and directs the Fair each year. Mr. Patterson could use more help from county residents as judges and general helpers; interested citizens should contact Mr. Patterson at the High School. I have watched the Rappahannock County School System evolve and improve over the last 12 years that this county has been my home...I think this kind of progress should make both teachers and citizenry proud. Our tax dollars are well spent! SIDNEY GOTTLIEB Boston Mr. Patterson thanks helpers To the Editor: On behalf of the science students and teachers of Rappahannock, I wish to thank the community for providing tremendous support to the Rappahannock Science Fair. Mrs. Maggie Rogers contributed in countless ways, including coordination of the PTO participation, helping the students set up their projects, and (with Tucker, Jessie and Adam) setting up about 70 tables. Jim Roszak organized all the activities of the Elementary School. Patti Waddell served as Judge Coordinator for the Fair. Blueridge Technologies donated financial support, along with the Parent-Teacher Organization, the Gifted and Talented program and the RCHS science department. Deserving particular thanks are the people who gave time on two Too many bills choke Assembly By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer From reading the papers one would think that the only business before the 1998 General Assembly session has been gun control. Day after day the issue has made the front pages of newspaper in Virginia and Washington. And you know you have a mega-issue on your hands when Ann Landers urges state legislators to support gun con7 trol and President Clinton mentions it prominently in a televised town meeting. Seldom has a single story been so dominant in a legislative session, at least not since the long ago days of massive resistance. As of this writing, the saga continues though there is a fairly certain prospect that a bill will emerge that can be considered a major victory for the Wilder administration over the NRA and other interest groups who have been battling tooth and nail against any new forms of gun control. But enough has been written about the gun legislation without rehashing it here. The point is that state lawmakers somehow managed to introduce an incerdible 2,800 or more other bills and resolutions dur I FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INCORPORATED •' Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1s Tues,. 1:30 D.m Every Momh In addition to our regular sa^s on the 2'!

When I heard that figure at first I couldn’t believe it. I could remember a time in the early 1970s when legislators were complaining about the crushing work load when 1,000 or so bills and resolutions were put in one session. In a different era when there were far fewer people and problems in the state, the General Assembly got by with meeting for 60 days every other year, unless there was a need for a special session in between. The the idea of a 30-day short session during odd numbered years was conceived and passed as a constitutional amendment. Of course, in the two decades or so that short sessions have been the practice every one has been extended by 15 days to make a 45 day session. It is highly unlikely, in fact, there will ever be a short session confined to 30 days. The short sesr sion was touted originally as one that would allow legislators to make necessary budget adjustments, take care of a few emergency matters and go home. What happened to wreck that concept? The most obvious answer is a lack of legislative restraint. Years when short sessions are held are also years when all members of the House of Delegates are up for election and sometimes years when members of the Senate are up for election. Thus it is difficult for a legislator faced with possible opposition to resist the temptation to introduce bills that might please the folks back home even if some of those bills have absolutely no chance of passage.

BRION PATTERSON Rappahannock County High School Earle Williams lacks experience To the Editor: Earle Williams, a wealthy Northern Virginia retired government contractor, has announced that he is seeking the Republican nomination for Governor of Virginia. Prior to the commencement of his campaign, many of us had never heard of him. According to the best information available, Mr. Williams has never held elected public office, neither at state nor local level. His suitability for public service is unproven. This lack of experience makes Mr. Williams unqualified to be Governor of the Commonwealth of Viginia. Money is no substitute for experience and knowledge of government. On the other hand, George Allen has held elected public offices, both state and federal, and is known throughout the state. He is favorably regarded as to character, honesty, integrity, ability, and other attributes that combine to constitute a capable and trustworthy public servant. I have known George Allen for many years and served with him on the Courts of Justice Committee of the House of Delegates. On the floor of the House, and in Committee, his dedication to duty, his knowledge of the proceedings, and his ability to sponsor and promote substantive legislation were second to none. George Allen is an outstanding and. qualified candidate for Cover- j nor. He will restore dignity and integrity to that office and will be true ] to the noble hertiage of our great Commonwealth.

Sweet Associates, the ►Money From Page A-l would be approximately ,$42 per ton to begin with, but that would rise to about $55 per ton in four years, he said. At $42 per ton that would work out to approximately $275,000 per year, he said. Even with the additional cost of hauling, he estimates that it will be less expensive for the county to arrange to have its trash taken to Fauquier than to operate its own landfill. The total cost will depend on whether the county keeps two sites in addition to the landfill, consolidates to one site and the landfill, or eliminates all sites except the landfill, Mr. McCarthy said. Each year the Capital Improvements Plan calls for two new school buses and one or two new cars for the Sheriffs Department. In 1994 it also calls for $22,000 for improvements to the courthouse and $20,000 for better storage for the records at the County Clerk’s office. In 1995 the plan calls for $85,000 to renovate the town hall and $25,000 to expand the animal shelter. Real Estate Eileen M.

Royal Ave. • Front Royal, VA School board taxing power is killed by wary delegates By PATRICK GRAHAM Rappahannock Neva Special Writer RICHMOND—The ' Virginia House of Delegates killed Tuesday legislation that would have granted to elected school boards the power to go into debt and levy taxes. Resistance toward the idea had been growing and the delegates may not have wanted the issue to haunt them during their re-election campaigns this fall. The legislation arises just two years after lawmakers gave localities the option to approve elected school boards and two years before voters will elect the first slate of hopefuls to the Fairfax County Board of Education in 1995. The Senate had passed a resolution that would amend the state constitution to provide taxing authority to elected school boards. The House’s move to send the resolution back to committee effectively scuttles the idea for at least three years. Any change to the state constitution would require approval in statewide referendum to be held during a non-election year. Even before that, the General Assembly must again approve the resolution. The fate of the resolution remains uncertain. Lawmakers could ginia General Assembly but is not funded, will have about 200,000 square feet of space—more than twice the amount in the Merrifield center. The facility also should be capable of being expanded to as much as 400,000 square feet, said Firstenberg. reintroduce it next session, but lawmakers will probably wait until after the Senate and House elections of 1995. The resolution would give elected school boards the power to appropriate money, impose taxes and borrow money—much like boards of supervisors around the state. However, under the resolution, the General Assembly, would decide what taxes or bonds the school board could raise or sell. Lawmakers, especially delegates facing re-election this fall, point out that main thrust of the resolution is to allow voters to give taxing powers to elected school boards. Voters should know that Richmond would not be giving away any tax authority, lawmakers say. Division over the idea is not split along traditional party lines, but lawmakers opposed to it come from high-growth areas like Fairfax County that have vehemently opposed taxes. Recent opinion polls indicate that the public is opposed to the idea. “This is like giving the school board an almighty credit card,” said Marcy Dykes, co-founder and president of Citizens for Sensible Taxation. “It’s tantamount to bankruptcy.” Critics say taxing authority will lead to higher taxes while supporters contend such power will hold the new elected members more accountable to their campaign promises and to the public. “We don’t need more taxing authority for school boards on top of tax authority for the county board of supervisors,” said Del. Richard Fisher (R-35th). “But we shouldn’t deny them the right.” “I don’t think we should change the rules before we start the game,” said Del. Kenneth Plum (D-36th). Supporters say it is unfair to create an newly elected body and not give those members the ability to raise or allocate money. “It would make them more accountable,” said Sen. H. Russell Potts Jr. (R-27thJ. “They would have the same accouittability as a supervisor or councilman.” “It keeps people from makiitg promises they in no way can keep,” said Robert Jones, president of the Virginia Education Association, the teacher lobby. “It will make for 2 more democratic process.” Registration set for kindergarten All children who will be five years of age by Sept. 30, 1993, are eligible to enter school in the fall of 1993. Registration for children who are entering kindergarten for the first time this fall will be held at Rappahannock County Elementary School on Tuesday, March 9, Wednesday, March 10 and Thursday, March 11. * The hours are from 9 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m., by appointment.

But they ijuarrelled when Chaim decided to jeave the Yeshive. • They lost touch with each other and met, decades later, by accident in Montreal. Here they discover that both were survivors of the holocaust. The same experience of horror and inhumanity has made Hersh friore religious than ever, and Chaim friore seculat.

Drunk driving bill passes Assembly By SENATOR EI) ROBB RICHMOND — This was an exciting week at the General Assembly. Our administrative license revocation amendments that the Senate attached to Senator Gartlan’s ALR bill have passed the House of Delegates and await the Governor’s signature into law. The bill as amended calls for administrative licence revocation for alcohol and drug use rather than just alcohol. Those who drive under the influence of drugs are just as dangerous as those under the influence of alcohol. The alternatives to incarceration and drug-crime courts study to be conducted by the Crime Commission of which I am a member passed the House Rules Committee, along with the study of the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program, and the Crime Prevention Center Study. These studies will recommend legislation to address these impor tant issues that affect crime within our society. The criminal records update bill, which would direct any agency receiving a felony warrant or capius to update the Virginia Crime Information Network within 72 hours has passed the House Courts of Justice Committee and awaits the passage of the full House of Delegates. There are currently 12,00016,000 outstanding warrants that are not being updated on the crime networks. Planners look at housing study •« Iff* By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Planning Commission went over proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and the Housing Improvement Study done by Land and Community Associates at last Wednesday’s meeting. The zoning amendments Will be needed to implement the General Commercial Overlay zone planned for the U.S. 522-211 corridor between Washington and Sperryville. The general commercial zone will include less than 150 acres between Wolf Mountain Traders and the Faith Mountain warehouse on the north and between a point across from Wolf Mountain Traders and Route 636, the road to the elementary school, on the south. The intention is to have most future commercial businesses locate in this area. County Administrator John McCarthy said that new comercial activities will also be allowed near the village centers. Most of the proposed amendments have to do with limitations in areas such as setback, screening, sign and parking requirements and with design guidelines to insure that the commercial zone is harmonious with the surrounding countryside. The plan for the area includes the creation of interior roads, limiting the number of entrances onto the four-laned highway. Commercial activities would be screened from surrounding agriculturally zoned properties. The planners suggested that utility lines should be located underground in the commercial zone, Ends Feb. 27th ^KOONS OF MANASSAS, YOUR NEW VEHICLE OUTLET FOR PONTIAC, OLDSMOBILE, GMC TRUCK AND HONDA, ANNOUNCES A GM SALE ON THE HOTTEST SELLING CARS IN THE COUNTRY ...AT PRICES SO LOW THAT WE EXPECT DEALERS & WHOLESALERS AS WELL AS THE BUYING PUBLIC TO TAKE ADVATAGE OF THIS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME BUYING OPPORTUNITY! 1993 PONTIAC GRAND AM ^ . ■ 1, § f 1 up ■ M I mm ScT nr ' 1 1 ■P §mm PONTIAC LEMANS AEROCOUPE #33702! was *9,841.

At the time, Mr. McCarthy said other grant funds might be available to improve substandard housing. The study was completed in 1990, but not presented to the planners, Mr. McCarthy said, because “the money disappeared.” He said that most of the funds available are going to more urban areas with larger concentrations of substandard housing. “Planning District Nine is pursuing grants for us under the block grant program,” he said. “This report entitles us to apply, but there is a bias against rural areas.” As a part of the study six areas were studied, Chester Gap, Laurel Mills, Rappahannock Lakes, Route 626 west of Washington, Route 659 near Flint Hill and Sperryville. Few responses were obtained from the Flint Hill neighborhood, and it was dropped from the study. Survey teams worked in each area. According to the report they visited houses and talked with the residents “to gether information on housing conditions and characteristics of the occupants such as household size and income.” One hundred and eighty houses were included in the surveys. Of these 56 “dwellings occupied by low- and moderate-income households were determined to need some degree of rehabilitation or improvement. These households contained 153 residents including 46 elderly individuals...Two-thirds of the dwellings were owner-occupied. ” ►County From Page A-l tain foods. Mrs. Sharp said she supposes increased funding might mean that the the income requirements might be changed to make more people eligible, but she has received no actual information on what it might mean. Mrs. Sharp is very interested in the health care program the Clinton administration is expected to introduce this spring. She says in her job she sees many people with no health insurance who are not eligible for Medicaid. The Health Department deals primarily in disease prevention, she said. For those who are actually sick but have no insurance, the Health Department can only refer them to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. ~ She said eligibility for Medicaid has been expanded in the past few years and more pregnant women and young children are eligible. She said this has a created a “Catch 22 situation, where women come in and want services but have no insurance and not eligible for Medicaid, and the only way they can become eligible is to get pregnant.” Phil Irwin, a founding director of the B&B Association of Virginia and owner of Caladonia Farm, said that the B&B business is becomming more and more recession proof. W$ are within an easy drive of millions of people, he said. “Today we are seeing people who just want to enjoy the Bed and Breakfast experience,” he said. They are not using the B&B’s while touring; the establishments are an end unto themselves, he added. “The people who are doing this are not likely to stop regardless of what Congress does.” ►Africa From Page A-l particularly the culture of the southeastern part of the country. He noted that Nigeria is a very large country with more than 250 tribes in it. The northern part of the country is dominated by Muslim tribes and is quite different, he said. He noted th-at Nigeria supplies more oil to the United States than any country except Saudi Arabia, but "said that while the oil comes from the south, the refinery is in the north and northerners get most of the benefit from oil exports. Mr. Akban said that young people are raised not to bring shame to their families. In the traditional culture marriage failure is rare, he said, because that would bring shame to the families. A child has an obligation to bury his or her parents, and death brings a week-long celebration of the life of the person, he said.

A race official waHsattheright^ Rappahannock races renew rivalries on Saturday By BETSY BRANSCOME Rappahannock News Special Writer SPERRYVILLE — A most dramatic backdrop — an unspoiled view of the Blue Ridge Mountains —punctuates the spectator-friendly Rappahannock race course at Thornton Hill Farm. Held at the farm on Feb. 27 beginning at noon, the Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point offers an exciting, nine-race card of flat and timber contests. Three series events of the Virginia Point-to-Point Association will be competed Saturday, with riders chasing points in the owner-rider timber, ladies and foxhunters races. The featured race of the afternoon will undoubtedly be the owner-rider timber race over 2'/2-miles on the rolling oval. Casanova runner-up and three-time series champ Topeador headlines the contest. Owner Henry Wood finished second aboard his Chilean-bred chestnut in this event last spring —this year he hopes to get to the front and improve his position. Larry Levy and his Masher Stage Door, third last week at Casanova, are also slated to start at Rappahannock. Seven will vie for the series points, including Michael Turner on his Frontal At tack —third here in ’92, Jim Whitner on Empire Joy and William Russell aboard Flourite. The ladies series will also renew at the meeting, with Ready Snodgrass going for her second Sperrvville victory with' Tom’s War. The pair triumphed here last season and look to repeat the score. The gelding has not started since falling at the Virginia Gold Cup last spring, but he Was voted top point-topoint timber horse last spring and is a true competitor. Fresh from a fast-closing, thirdplaced prep at Casanova, Beth Newman's Duke Kahana Moku is also entered to run. Dawn Dugan may ride Michael Turner’s Frontal Attack in the ladies race if the owner does not take the mount for the owner-rider race. The foxhunter’s series race attracted five entrants, including ’92 victor Lydie Breeze and Richard Jones. Jones prepped with a fourth place finish at Casanova. The pair represents the Goshen Hunt. Thanks Henry, victorious in the owner-rider timber at Casanova, will switch to the open division at Rappahannock. Rider Bay Cockburn said that the high weights in the series event made him opt for the open timber instead. He would carry 183 in the owner-rider race, yet only 165 in the open contest. The Virginia-bred, second-time lifetime starter will face a small yet elite field. Friendly Retreat looks the obvious danger, although he has not been seen on the course since winning at Casanova last spring. Trainer Don Yovanovich will ride the gelding. Maidens over lumber get their own chance at 2M> miles, with nine entered. The two flat races may each split, with 15 entered in the 5/8th-mile dash and 18 in the 1'/4-mile race. f JL.

Fascinating exhibits shine at schools' yearly science fair The county’s two schools joined together last week to put on a threedav science fair complete with dozens of exhibits, careful judges and throngs of visitors. The exhibits were displayed in the multi-purpose room at the elementary school. Up on the stage high school students offered many demonstrations of physical concepts to curious students at the elementary school. This is the fourth year the Rappahannock school system has offered a science fair for the students under the guidance of high school chemistry teacher Brion Patterson. Jim Clark’s project on the logical decisions necessary to determine the shortest route for a traveling salesman was judged the best project in the senior division. He is in the ninth grade. The best project in the junior division (grades 5-8) was turned in bv Nathan Flinchum. He had experimented with different ways to im prove the effeciency of air popped popcorn. Classrooms in the elementary school also competed with one another. The winning classroom projects were done by students in Mr. Sealock’s 5th grade. Mrs. Eborn’s 2nd grade and Mrs. Roszak's 1st grade. It is not possible to catalog the many interesting and thought provoking exhibits that jammed the tables. One student wondered which bleach did the best job. Next to that exhibit was one that tested different ' dyes for fading. Students looked at the difference | between natural and chemical fertilizers.

Ki Theatre Russia grim but inspiring By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer For all the grimness of life in Russia two artists found inspiration for their work there. American painter Robin Purnell and Russian poet Maryanne Ozemoy told of their experiences at Ki Theatre’s second exchange program Sunday night. Mrs. Purnell said she still has paintings in her head she wants to do that are based on her experiences in Russia. She showed slides of her work. The women of Russia, struggling to survive and overcome the conditions of their lives were a recurring theme in the paintings. Many show the influence of Russian Orthodox icons. Mrs. Ozernoy read some of her poems. She read one of Russian and English. She said she does her own translations now. She said the period of her life during which she was a refusnik, trying to get permission to emigrate to the United States, was the most creative time of her life. “I was struggling against bitterness,” she said. She added that she sometimes wrote for 24 hours straight. Mrs. Purnell said that St Petersburg has a tradition of support for the arts that she does not find in the United States. She gave credit to the “stupendous architecture,” and noted that Russians died in St Petersburg during the Second World War to preserve art. “We don’t have that history. TV takes away people’s desire to create,” she said. Mrs. Ozemay suggested she visit Santa Fe, New Mexico. “I like American culture,” she added. “It is rich in traditions. People bring their traditions to the United States.” Mrs. Purnell said that Russian artists received a very “rigid, classical training,” such as was taught in Paris 200 years ago. “There was no room for imagination,” she said. They had no knowledge of French impressionism or of the work of Picasso. She said since the fall of Communism, with increasing freedoms, much Russian art “is very boring, unstructured. They are throwing paint.” She suggested this may be a “necessary step in the evolution” of their art. Mrs. Ozemoy said that Russians are now using symbols from the Czarist days. “It is a very conservative culture,” she said. She noted that anti-semitism has not decreased with the coming of greater freedom. “I don’t believe Jews have a future in Russia,” she said. She said after seven years in this country she is still soaking up experiences. She hopes that this will lead to another creative period in her life. Mrs. Purnell said it is a relief to be back in the United States where she can get supplies easily. “You can get blue any month,” she said.

Most ot us have at one time or another. Frantically we search. There is a checking of pockets, rummaging through drawers and a continuous mumble ot questions. Where could it be? Did it slip out of my pocket? Places like a sink drain, under a car seat or behind a pillow come to mind. We retrace our steps. Time passes and we wonder if it will turn up. We try to reassure ourselves that it will. Losing money, a wallet or identification cards makes us feel terrible. The loss of a precious heirloom saddens us deeply. Many things can be replaced while others cannot. Consider the consequences of losing your faith in God. If we grieve for the loss of earthly things and objects, how much more should we grieve for having lost all that is heavenly and eternal. SEEK THE THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE. SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND.

What's the big deal about pasta? By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent. Home Economics Pasta has become one of the m(>re popular foods in today’s kitchen. This is because of the ease ip preparation, the low cost, the high nutrient level, and the emphasis placed by athleteT on high carbohydrate meals. But what is so special about pasta? How to cook perfect pasta Here are a few cooking tips from the National Pasta Association that will make your pasta perfect. • Always cook pasta uncovered at a fast boil, using plenty of water - at least a quart for every four ounces of dry pasta. A rapid boil helps circulate the pasta for uniform results. • Stir frequently, using a wooden fork or similar utensil, to prevent pasta from sticking. • Follow the package directions! For the degree of tenderness desired, from tender to fairly firm (“al dente”), the cooking time varies from five to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta. • Drain pasta in a colander to stop the cooking action. Do not rinse unless recipe specifically says to do so. Add one-two tablespoons of butter of olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking together. - • The key to successful pasta HOME ECONOMICS cookery is to avoid overcooking and, again, use plenty of water. A meat substitute? Did you know that pasta is a grain product and, therefore, when eaten with legumes or dairy products can be considered a good meat substitute. That’s right, eat pasta and get your protein at the same time. Basic categories Spaghetti, solid rods in various thicknesses, can be purchases round, oval, straight, or wavy. Vermicelli, fusilli, and capellini are favority forms. Noodles are flat, ribbonlike forms, sometimes curled on one or both edges and available in varying widths. Noodles contain eggs in addition to wheat flour and water. Lasagna, linguine, and fettuccine are classics. Macaroni is cylindrical, hollow pasta that is available long or short, smooth or ridged, and curved or straight. Rigatoni, ziti, rotelle, manicott, and elbows are listed in this category. Specialty products include shells, pastina, bow ties, alphabets, fans, and wheels. The addition of special ingredients, such as spinach or tomato, gives color to some pasta. Variety products, such as ravioli and tortellini that are filled with meat, cheese, or other ingedients, are also readily available. Storing Low-moisture content enables uncooked packages pasta to have a long shelf life. Store pasta in a cool, dry place free from dust and moisture for up to one year; store egg noodles for up to six months. Cooked pasta can be stored in the refrigerator up to four days or in the freezer up to one month. Refrigerate pasta dishes one to two days, or freeze them for up to six months. A light twist to pasta recipes The aspect of pasta that most, people worry most about is calories. How nice, then, to discover that a one-cup serving of cooked spaghetti has only about 200 calories. What makes a pasta meal fattening are the rich and aboundant sauces many Americans choose to go with it, although the trend nowadays is to serve lighter sauces made with less fat. The following recipes for pasta are relatively low-calorie.

Ms. Stafford, who recently resigned as Executive Director of the Windmore Foundation aft^r five years there, will now coordinate several of the Soho Center’s present programs and will work to develop arts-related programs at the Soho Center. “My two main interests remain education and the arts. What the Soho Center is doing of behalf of children by working with family day care providers gives me a broad new way to reach many of the region’s children with education of all sorts - including the arts,” said Ms. Stafford. “Working with the Soho Center gives me a way to affect the many hundreds of the region’s children who are in child care, often long before we see them in the schools. Getting to these youngsters early on with the Soho Center’s various programs is one of the very best ways to ensure a better future for us all. It’s an exciting prospect.” Jeanna Beker, Soho Center’s Di rector, adds, “We are delighted to have Paula Stafford as part of our team. What she did at the Windmore Foundation says a tremendous amount about her energy, commitment, and organizational skills. We’re very pleased that she can now help coordinate our region-wide programs as well as add arts appreciation to our growing collection of services for family day care providers and the children in their care. The Soho Center’s past programs in New York City routinely integrated the arts with education and included music and visual arts programs for pre-schoolers and schoolage children. When Mrs. Beker moved the Soho Center to Virginia, she intially focussed on the most needed services which included basic child care training, safety, cash reimbursements for food, and nutrition education. “Now that these critical core programs are fairly well established and growing, we can expand our efforts to include the arts for many children in child care across our 10-county region.” Adds Ms. Stafford, “The goal of the Soho Center is finding innovative ways to help children in all types of child care across a large region of the Commonwealth. I am delighted to be able to both help expand its reach and develop new programs to enhance the area’s chilc| care services.” For more on the Soho Center’s present and planned programs, call Jeanna Beker at 923-5012. Free workshop scheduled The Continuing Education Office at Lord Fairfax Community College and the Department of Social Services well be sponsoring a free workshop on health and safety-related topics for child care providers from 9 a.m.-12 noon on Tuesday, March 23.

Requirements for the vegetable garden '1, Traditionally, the vegetable garden has been located in an area separate from other parts of the landscape. This was because it was considered a working area and an feyesore. \ With proper planning, however, the garden can be both functional and attractive. Many landscape designers today incorporate edible plants in other areas of the home landscape and ornamental plants such as flowering annuals in the vegetable garden. Sunlight A garden has five basic requirements. The first is sunlight. All vegetables need some sunlight. The garden should receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Eight to 10 hours each day is ideal. Therefore, vegetables should be planted away from building^, trees, and shrubs which shade the area. In addition, the roots of the trees and shrubs will use nutrients and water necessary for good growth. Some leafy vegetables such as broccoli, collards, spinach, and lettuce will tolerate shadier conditions than other vegetables, but, for the most part, if you do not have at least six hours of sunlight daily, forget about growing vegetables. 3 The second consideration is nearness to the house. The out-ot-sightout-of-mind principle applies to the garden. The closer the vegetable garden and the easier it is to reach, the more you will use it. It is more likely that you will harvest vegetables at their peaks and be able to take maximum advantage of garden freshness. Work is “Easier” when garden is close It is also more likely that you will keep up with such jobs as weeding, watering, insect and disease control, and succession planting if the garden is close by. The third consideration is soil. Ideally, soil should be fertile and easy to till, with the right texture - a loose well-drained loam. Any soil that remains soggy after a rain should be avoided. Gardeners with heavy clay or sandy soils can improve them by adding organic matter. Of course, gardening will be easier if started with a naturally rich soil. The fourth consideration is water. Including rain and irrigation, the garden needs at least one inch of water per week. Therfore, it is essential to locate the garden near a spigot or some other water source. Consider using trickle irrigation to water rather than sprinklers. Good air flow can mean longer season The fifth consideration is good air drainage. Air drainage is nothing more than the movement of air over and past the garden area. Avoid locating the garden in a low spot such as the base of a hill or the foot of a slope bordered by a solid fence as air tends to settle in these spots. These areas are slow' to warm in the spring, and frost forms more readily because of lack of air movement. Vegetable gardens located on high ground are more likely to escape “border-line” freezes for an earlier start in the spring and a longer harvest in the fall.

Madison Area businesses continue to find ways to help the Soho Center with its First/Class Nursery School and Comprehensive Child Care Initiative. Two recent outdoor projects at the Soho Center’s multi-use Regional facility included donations from Culpeper Stone, Martin Marietta, Weaver Works of Madison and JCulpeper Wood Preservers. The first project involved constructing a huge 15x30 foot sandbox. The project used 60 tons of beach sand donated by Culpeper Stone and pressure treated lumber donated by Culpeper Wood Preservers. According to Soho’s Director, Jeanna Beker, “Our Regional Facility serves both as a training center and as a model early childhood program. We wanted a very large sandbox that would allow lots of active play. But we also wanted it to meet all the newest federal recommendations for shock absording surfaces to prevent children’s injuries. That meant a sandbox with sand at least 18 inches deep. With these donations from Culpeper Stone and Culpeper Wood, we now have what must be the biggest sandbox and safest children’s play surface in the county.” The other projects was renovating an existing driveway and parking area to allow better access to the Soho Center’s classroom and playground areas. According to Beker, “Weaver Works of Madison donated much of the grading and site preparation, and all the trucking. Martin Marietta donated 40 tons of gravel and Culpeper Wood Preservers’ lumber edging provided the finishing touch. We’re very grateful and the entire area is now very accessible and really attractive.” The Soho Center’s 10-countv Comprehensive Child Care Initiative offers free programs to 300 family day care providers who care for approximately 1,500 children. Progams include free child care training, free home safety equipemnt, and direct reimbursements for healthy meals served to children through the Soho Center’s Cash-forFood program. In addition, the Soho Center has recently started First/Class, a part-time, parent-child nursery school program for families in Madison, Culpeper, and Orange.
