The Old Dominion Hounds Pointto-Point, held under sparkling spring skies punctuated by left-over March breezes, drew the largest 1993 steeplechase crowd thus far in the young race season. Nearly 3,000 enjoyed the sport at Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Eastham’s Ben Venue Farm. Undoubtedly some of the finest timber racing of the year was contested by an experienced field in the owner-rider timber race. Five runners lined up for the three-mile 'chase: two 13-year-olds, a 12-yearold and two “youngsters” at 8-yearsold faced starter’s orders. Previous four-time race winner Topeador and partner Henry Wood Jr. stepped onto the nearly perfect footing on the rolling Ben Venue oval to defend their title. The popular pair was joined by sanctioned winner Commanding Dance and series competitors Made Up and Masher Stage Door. As is his form, Wood let high-, weighted, 12-year-old Topeador* carrying 183 pounds, roll from the; start to grab an early lead. “Made Up got moving pretty! quickly,” said Henry of his bay geld-; ing. “I kept to the inside and saved! ground.” That pair led from the second of 18 fences onwards.“I knew! Henry [Wood] had a chance to catch! me, so I really rode to the last.” Topeador threatened to close the: three-length gap to the flying leader in the long stretch drive. However,rider Wood was lacking a neccessityi for a fight to the wire: “I dropped my whip!” Wood grinned afterwards. “I think Topeador was a little tired from his hard try [placing second to series co-leader Thanks Henry] last week at Rappahannock,” he continued. At the wire, it was Made Up crossing the line first, getting up by a neck over Topeador. Not far backwas Commanding Dance in third.

At Monday’s meeting County Administrator Johq McCarthy presented the supervisors with a spread sheet showing that since the opening of the county landfill, trash disposal has cost approximately $77 per ton. If trash is hauled to Fauquier, the cost will be approximately $58 per ton, Mr. McCarthy added. However, that estimate does not include the cost of maintaining any collection sites other than the one at the landfill. Mr. McCarthy noted that if one or more collection sites are added, the cost will increase. On the other hand, the cost for continuing to dispose of trash at the current landfill will also go up, he noted, because the next lanfill cell must be built to meet new EPA standards that require a double liner. The county cannot continue to operate the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble as they are currently operating if local trash is hauled to Fauquier, Mr. McCarthy said. The agreement with Fauquier says any collection sites must be tended. Mr. McCarthy also noted that if the income from accepting fluff is included, t ho cost of operating at the landfill would T>e reduced to about $70 per ton, but he said he had not included that because he and the supervisors view that as a “onetime windfall until space is filled in our final cell.” ond collection site, perhaps somewhere in the Sperryville-Washington corridor. Hampton District representative Mike Massie has said several times that he would favor closing the dumpster sites and encouraging private contractors to start businesses hauling trash to the landfill. Mr. McCarthy said the proposed contract with Fauquier County will be McCarthy noted that the agreement will require closing of the unattended dumpsters at Scrabble and Huntly. It would not make sense to continue to accept fluff in a future landfill cell, because the company that brings the fluff is paying less than the per-ton cost of operating the landfill. The fluff is being used instead of soil as daily cover because that cell is due to be closed by the end of the year, and local trash alone would not fill it. The supervisors did not indicate whether they would favor adding a sec ready for action by the boards of supervisors of both counties at their May meetings. School Superintendent David Gangel presented the School Board’s $5.4 million budget for the coming year. Dr. Gangel said most of the $445,000 increase is due to increasing enrollment and state mandates or to the start-up costs for the addition to the elementary school. The supervisors will hold a public hearing on the school budget at 7 p.m., Monday April 26 at the high school auditorium. Following that public hearing the supervisors will begin work on the county’s budget for next year. The budget schedule calls for approval of the school budget at the board’s May 3 meeting. The supervisors wanted to know how competitive Rappahannock teachers’ salaries will be under the proposed budget. Dr. Gangel said that the county had slipped some in the last two years. At one point the starting salary had moved up to about 60th in the state, he said. Now it is about 90th, and Dr. Gangel said he thinks it will be about the same next year. Mr. McCarthy noted that the county has had about the same “effective” tax rate for the past three years. “That cannot continue,” he said. “There will have to be a tax increase .... The sooner the public understands that, the better. ” The supervisors approved a resolution requesting that VDOT take a section of the old U.S. 211 turnpike to the Whetzel property into the road system.

Invest all you can in the soil,” John Bums, president of the Virginia Association of Biological Farmers, told his audience at last week’s First Friday program at the county library. Tile program was jointly sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the VABF. Besides Mr. Bums, panelists included Richard and Joyce Abell and Jim and Sally Mello of Rixeyville. Mr. Bums owns Goat Hill Farm outside Washington. He grows small vegetables, which he said are sometimes called “yuppie vegetables,” and raspberries. He markets his produce and that of neighbors by taking it to Washington, D.C., in season. t “Organic growing is a way of positively affecting the environment,” he said. “You work in harmony with nature and don’t try to dominate it. . . You want to leave a piece of the earth better off than when you found it. We don't own the land. We are temporary caretakers for those who come after us.” The Abells told of growing asparagus and raspberries on their land on the Shade Road.

By M.SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer President Clinton’s “economic stimulus package” might trickle down to the Shenandoah National Park this summer, according to Park Superintendent Bill Wade. He made his comments to representatives of the eight counties that border the Park at a meeting of the Park Advisory Council Thursday night at the Library. The panel was formed late last summer to help ease tensions between the Park and its neighbors. Speaking to about two dozen people, Supt. Wad? began by outlining the damage to the park from two recent storms that kept parts of the Skyline Drive closed until March 26. With the Drive closed by ice and snowdrifts, park visitation was down, Wade reported. “This year we had about 20,000 visitors in March. Normally we would have had about 70,000,” he said. Although the Drive is now open to traffic, about 15 miles of administrative roads within the park and 85 miles of trails still are blocked by trees brought down by the ice storm, he added. “If it will just stop raining, we have enough people on hand to work on the cleanup,” he said. Although the cleanup from the last two storms will cost about $220,000, Wade said the cost should not have to come out of the Park’s already strapped budget. “The (National) Park Service has a special emergency fund we can tap for this,” he said. Supt. Wade was hopeful that some money from President Clinton’s economic stimulus package will be available at the Park. “I do not know what the status of that is right now,” he said; “if it passes as proposed the Park stands to get $2.5 million - perhaps a bit more.” That money would be available in four categories, he said: natural resource protection, infrastructure maintenance, restoration of summer operations, and road maintenance. “We have submitted requests’ for each of those categories and if it (the money) comes through we would be hiring about 50 to 60 extra summer people," he said. “We should be able to bring most of our operations back to normal. But it all depends on when 'We should be able to bring all of our operations back to normal. But it all depends on when the money comes through ... if the measure passes.' — Supt. Bill Wade the money comes through ... if the measure passes,” he added. None of this “economic stimulus” money can be used to hire permanent employees, he pointed out. “It is very short term. It must be spent by the end of this fiscal year (Sept. 30). The outlook for future years is still uncertain,” Supt. Wade said. Public information officer Sandy Rives said that several programs are underway to provide summer jobs in the Park for youth within the area. Doris Lackey of Syria has put together a proposal to hire 20 youth for eight weeks in a Youth Conservation Program. The Park Service would supervise the program and provide the overall guidance, he said. “There is also another summer youth program, again with about 20 individuals, in Page County,” he said. The Park itself, will coordinate and run its own Youth Conservation Corps for about 10 - 12 individuals, he said. That program is funded by the National Park Service, he said. It will be a non-resident program for youth 16 - 18 who live near enough to the Park to commute daily, he added. “We think they get tremendous benefit from the program,” Rives said. “For many of them it is their first job experience. They get a lot out of it,? he added. Rives added that the Park was asked to se^ up a very large residential camp for about 100 kids like the old Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), but just did not have the time to put it together. “Not to mention where would we have put it,” added Supt. Wade. The Park’s own Youth Program aready has its quota of applicants. “If you know someone who wants to work in the park next year tell them tel come see us in January,” Mr. Rives said. Both men worked to ease concerns about a bill now before Congress (S204) that would transfer title of some Park Land to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). ■ ‘These are state roads that border or cross a section of the Park but have always been maintained by VDOT,” Rives said. Several of th(> roads in question, especially in Rockingham County need to be improved and widened right now. ' -k The problem is that Federal law prohibits the Park from donating any land or additional rightof-way to VDOT. The only Way for VDOT to atquire the right-of-way to to exchange land of equal value with the Park. «• To that end VDOT has purchased a tract of about 100 acres in Greene County for the express purpose of exchanging land with the park to gain clear title to the rights-of-way on short sections of 14 roads in seven counties. None is in Rappahar?nock County and only one is in Madison. % The piece of road in Madison is a section Of Route 600 that passes the bottom of the White Oak Canyon Trail and then climbs toward the back side of Old Rag. The upper end of that roail is extremely narrow but it can not be widened without obtaining additional right-of-way from the Park. Sendat Bill 204 would allow the Secretary of the Interior to transfer right and title to the specified sections of roadway to VDOT without any consideration or reimbursement. VDOT, how'ever, does not want to wait for this bill to wind its slow course through Congress and has continued to pursue the land swap. Proposed hunting rules changes revealed^ By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock News Staff Writer In an effort to better control Virginia’s white-tail deer population, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has proposed several changes in state regulations for the next two seasons, including: • A one-week extension of the special muzzleloader season, which is tentatively set for Oct. 30 through Nov. 11. The muzzleloader season was a week long last year. • A bag limit of two deer per day and three per year during seasons for general firearms, muzzleloaders and archery. • Expansion of the bonus permit system for use statewide on private lands, to help take hunting pressures off public land. The game department’s plans for the next two hunting seasons were disclosed at a public hearing last week in Richmond. That session follow's a number of regional public hearings, including one in Fairfax which attracted a large number of hunters with connections to Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Deer-herd control is a big issue not only for interested hunters but for farmers and homeowners who have voiced concerns about damage to crops and vegetation. The state’s deer population is getting close to one million despite last season’s record deer kill of approximately 200,000. The tentative hunting regulations for the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons call for a increase in the number of either-sex hunting days in several areas of the state. A proposal to extend deer season for a week west of the Blue Ridge Mountains was not approved, however.

The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries board is also proposing that the statewide quail season end on Jan. 30, with an elimination of the two weeks of February hunting which has been permitted east of Interstate 95. Supporters of the change contend that February hunting kills too many breeding birds. The board also proposed to elimir nate February hunting for ruffe^ grouse. The tentative dates for the next grouse season: Oct. 25-Jan. 30.A proposal to extend the state’s experimental bear chase seasoH from daylight hours only (with exceptions) to 24 hours was withdrawn by the game board after Gov. Doug Wilder vetoed a legislative bill that would have permitted the extension. All of the revisions proposed bj the game board will be advertised for adoption.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1993 Editorial Platform “Where the press is free, and every man able to read, ! all is safe. ” — Thomas Jefferson The Rappahamiock News believes several ; fundamental issues are of special importance to the character and heritage of Rappahannock County, and takes these consistent editorial positions on them. 1) Growth and development must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and fairly enforced zoning regulations sensitive to Rappahannock’s character, quiet beauty, and the quality of life of its people. Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated because education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. ^ 3) New business and clean industry should be sought * to provide new employment opportunities for our ’ residents and their children. But economic expansion * should not come at the expense of our clean air and water. These are far more important than a larger tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent county, should be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strength and spirit of the county’s heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and actively investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. r \ HEVf who parked THEIR CAR IN MY OFFICE'?//** L's: '111.1 [john McCarthy ■L CO.

Mrs. Nancy Smedley Beahm, with whom I was well acquainted, told me that the last known person to live in this old house was Mr. Bob Scott.

Boot Dwyer had bought the property from Jim and John Jones, who had obtained it from John and Mollje Monroe Fineham. Mollie's father, Silas J. Monroe, bought it from William and Elizabeth L. Scott, in July 1875. Elizabeth Scott inherited the same from her greatgrandfather, James L. Green Si-, whose will was probated Oct. 14. 1844. This document mentions the several tracts of land in his will, one bought from a Mr. Smith and from Gabriel Wiley and wife. Mr. Green had also bought land from Abner Sims and a Mr. Wright. It might be helpful to mention that Abner Sims was a forefather of the Racers and Gore and Houghton families. Just wanted to share. Thanks. WAYNE F. BALDWIN Culpeper Quakers offer news update To the Editor: Important events in Congress and the Executive Offices are not always well reported, especially when decisions are in the making. Fifty years ago, the Religious Society of Friends, popularly known as Quakers, set up a lobby in Washington D.C. to keep an eye on matters of particular importance to them and to work to affect legislation and occasionally, administrative action. Some of the issues traditionally of concern to Quakers are peace, human and civil rights and civil liberties. freedom of religions and the separation of church and state, the death penalty, eV-iminal justice and prison conditions and poverty. Treaty rights and other matters pertaining to the welfare of Native Americans also are important to some Quakers. The denomination is small and funds to support the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) are not tax deductible.'The governing body is composed of Quakers from all parts of the U.S. Not all Friends contribute to the lobby. The issues worked on in each legislative session usually relate to what Congress is most concerned with or can be made aware of. FC’NL takes postiions on only a limited number of bills. One of the services FCNL provides to its supporters and other interested citizens is a weekly legislative update, prepared every Friday afternoon. Through a telephone tape, it reports some legislation that will be voted on soon, discusses its importance and recommends specific action. This is an interesting and valuable source of information that you may want to take advantage of from time to time. If you do, call (202) .">47-4343. DIANA HIRI) Flint Hill Synonymous suggestion To the Editor: James J. Kilpatrick makes sense on the whole with his essay, “Watch Those Out-Of-Town Words,” but not entirely. I take exception to his suggestion that a writer might better have substituted “bland” for “anodyne" in a New York Times article. One of the definitions Webster’s gives for “anodyne" is “marked by an absence of power of stimulation” which seems to me to be a definition of a perfect word to use in the sentence on the recent productions of the West End theaters — that is, if the comments are just. After all, a prinicpal pui-pose of drama is stimulation, and in discussing it, “bland” isn’t an adequate substitute. I say this because a function of writing is telling communication and since I know Mr. Kilpatrick is aware of that, I hope he will write an article — if he hasn’t already done so — on the importance of the mot juste — please, not too out-of-town a term? I first ran across “anodyne” reading what I consider one of Emily Dickinson’s most affecting poems: “The heaii asks pleasure first, And then, excuse from pain; And then, those little anodynes That deaden suffering; And then, to go to sleep; And then, if it should be The will of its Inquisitor, The liberty to die.” I don’t know what the anodynes were that a doctor prescribed in the 1850’s of Emily Dickinson. It ’would be interesting to learn: paregoric (camphorated tincute of opium flavored with aniseed and benzoic acid: soothing), laudanum (tincutre of opium — name given by Paracelsus to a costly panacae or elixor, later transferred to preparations containing opium), morphine (alkaloid narcotic principle of opium largely used to alleviate pain)? These are some of the substances I recall hearing about in my youth, outlawed today, I’m sure, but common enough in those and previous times to be features of conventional literature: "The Confessions of an Opium Eater, Anna Karenina” and “Long Days Journey Into Night," for starters. When that little meteorite of a poem dropped beside me, I memorized it and when I became a teacher. I asked my students to memorize it too. One acquired not only “anodyne” but also inquisitor,” that official of the ecelestical tribunal for the suppression of heresy. Who was the officiously prying fellow worrying to death the heart of Emily Dickinson? Have any of us encountered such a “being” asking us whether we believe or disbelieve what we should know better than to question? The connotations of both “anodyne" and “Inquisitor” give us matter to ruminate upon for the rest of our lives, and an insight into Emily Dickinson’s mind that few otherscould do for theirs w ith eight repetitious lines. One of the ways I have learned to distinguish out-of-town words from essential ones is to study poetry. A poet is first of all a w ord lover and if the right word turns out to be from out of town, a poet knows how to convert it to an insider. DIANA BIRD Elint Hill Bus safety rule ignored To the Editor: In January of this year the Rappahannock County Schools formed a quality improvement team to address the problem of school bus safety. Between Sept. 1, 1992 and Jan. 1, 1993 more than eight motorists passed our school buses while they were stopped to load or unload students. Last year, a child almost got hit by a motorist who did not stop for a bus while it was unloading Alert action by our school bus driver prevented a terrible accident in that case. Area residents are asked to please drive with caution and stop when they see a bus stopped to pick up or let off children. The bus safety committee decided that the best solution was to have bus drivers call in by bus radio to the School Board office to report license numbers and descriptions of vehicles that violate the law dealing with passing buses stopped to load or unload students. The School Board office will then immediatley notify the Sheriff’s Office. If there is sufficient evidence, violators will be charged. Posters have been put up at both schools to warn students to be careful when loading or unloading and to look out for motorists in both directions. Letters have been sent home with students to help notify residents about 4he problem. The high school is being asked to remind student drivers about the law. Please help us in making it safer for our children. This problem has to be stopped before someone is seriously injured or killed.

Mr. Watson, of VDOT’s landscaping department, was kind enough to visit with me and discuss the possibility of planting bulbs in the median near the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 642, the “heart" ot Amissville. The bulbs have been planted and we are anxiously awaiting the first blooms. 1 found Mr. Watson to be very helpful in assisting with this project^ and anxious to give advice on additional landscaping.

The Writer s Art W * I Linguistics Court now in session By JAMES S. KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate The Court of Peeves, Irks and Crotchets opens its April assizes with the plea of many plaintiffs for a definitive order on “different from” and “different than.” The court, after prolonged reflection, ducks. Wilson Follett discussed the question in his “Modern American Usage.” He too was unable to offer any positive guidance, but he said something of profound wisdom: “It is often better to find a way around a linguistic thicket than to bull one’s way through it.” The general guideline — not a rule, just a guideline — is to use “different than” with a following clause. Thus, “Let me know if your telephone number is different than it was a year ago.” “Life is a foster home proved no different than life April according to the almanack April forecast is for temperatures that will be average as will be precipitation. Weather forecast: Though the month opens with fair and mild (1-3) don’t be fooled as showers follow (4,5). Then (6,7) is expected to be fair but colder as harbinger of cold, rain (8,9). Again, it’s fair, cold (10,11); more cold rain (12), retumihg to a fair, mild period (13-16). Very changeable weather follows with rain (17,18); partly cloudy, mild (21-24); rain, cooler (25,26); fair mild (27,28) and wind and rain (29-30). Tornado Watch: no activity is expected in the area during the month. Full moon: Known by some as the egg moon, by others, the grass moon, spring moon or pink, it occurs on the 6th at 1:43 p.m. est. However, since daylight savings time comes in on the first Sunday, April 4-which is also Palm Sundayand you’ve remembered to set your clocks ahead one hour, this becomes 2:43 p.m. DST. Easter day: Observe this Holy Day on Sunday, the 11th, which promises to be fait, but cold for the traditional Easter parade. Don’t forget the IRS expects taxes by Thrusday, the 15th. Arbor Day is celebrated in most states the last Friday in the month. Planting a tree not only adds to the beauty of the land but aids in the preservation of the environment by controlling erosion, enchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen and offering shade during the hot summer days to follow. As the weather affords, get an early start on garden projects. J. Grubers thought for today’s living: “Needless worry over what tomorrow might bring often causes one to lose sight of the opportunites tommorow will offer. had been for the girl all along.” In other constructions, “different from" works better. “She sought to be different from her classmates.” “Justice Scalia’s approach is different from justic Blackmun’s approach.” “How different his performance from his promises!” Among the exhibits offered by the plaintiffs are two clippings from Chicago. From the Sun-Times: “The football program at Augustana College is different than the one at Nebraska.” From the Tribune: “Women have higher death rates from heart attacks and react differently to treatment than men.” The court approves the Tribune's use of “different than.” Surely it would have startled readers to read that women “react differently to treatment from men.” The sentence from the SunTimes is clumnsy. Taking Follett’s advice, the sportswriter who stumbled over “different than” might have sought a way around the thicket: “Augustana College and Nebraska have different football programs.” Or, “Augustana’s football program differs from Nebraska’s.” Or, “Football is one thing at Augustana College. It’s something very different at Nebraska.” A plaintiff in Augusta, Ga., identifying himself as John Doe, moves for an injunction against “to while away.” In evidence he offers a headline from The Augusta Chronicle: “Spearing pike one way to while away northern winter months.” To the plaintiff this is “awful!” Nonsense. Motion denied. Webster’s dates “to while away” from 1635. It is better in every respect than “to wile away,” w'hich carries overtones of enticement and trickery. Women’s wiles. A wily politician. Milton’s Nymph brought “quips and cranks, and wanton wiles, nods, and becks, and WTeathed smiles.” If one has an idle hour, let one while it away. On its own motion, the court will briefly address the use of “a while” and “awhile.” The court does not approve “awhile,” even in such constructions as, “The senator left awhile ago.” Two words are better than one: “The dispute over a Bos FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INL.UHHUHATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m..

For further information call 364-1566 1 mile east of Marshall on Rt. 55. nian policy will continued for quite a while.” “It will be a while before Clinton’s performance can be fairly judged.” At its autumn assizes last year, the court roundly condemned “got.” The condemnation has been roundly ignored. Ann B. Kitchin of Littleton, Colo., appeals for one more blast. She offers in evidence: For the “Reader’s Digest,” “she got sidetracked.” From The Denver Post, “the real thing got stuffed in the trash.” From the Rocky Mountain News, “Bill and Shirley got married 44 years ago.” From Reuters, “They dressed like male pirates, even dueled like male pirates, but they got pregnant like women.” The court cannot explain its anathema on the matter of “got.” In most constructions, a more euphonious way can be found to phrase a given sentence. Many an ugly “got” may be eliminated by taking refuge in the passive voice: “The real thing was stuffed in the trash.” “Bill and Shirley were married.” In an effort to be just, the court acknowledges that some “gots” must be tolerated. It would have spoiled the Reuters paragraph to say that the female pirates “became pregnant like women.” Something sounds amiss in, “I Have You Under My Skin.” Helen Cullen of Seattle ask a declaratory judgment: Is it “champing at the bit” or “chomping at the bit?” Madam, the court declares, it’s “champing.” In the sense of showing impatience at delay or restraint, “champing” has been around since the 14th century. “To chomp” dates only from 1847. Its primary meaning is to bite heavily, as a dog chomps on a bone. The court will add that “champing at the bit” is a phrase likely to be lost to those who have never seen a horse, A better wTay to express impatience can be found. All a w-riter has to do is look.

Robb-Wilder faceoffseen likely By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer The jockeying for postition in the 1994 race for a U.S. Senate seat in Virginia continues to overshadow the gubernatorial race that is coming up this fall. Governor L. Douglas Wilder seems increasingly to be leaning toward taking on incumbent Senator Charles S. Robb for the Democratic nomination. The Wilder strategy would be to press for a primary that might be able to give him maximum advantage of his popularity with blacks and labor unions. Yet if that should happen, and you heard it here first, there could be another entry in the race that would be a huge surprise. Scruples relating to sources prohibit me from providing any specific name at the moment, but it may be possible a bit later. Wilder has been tossing firebombs at Robb for several weeks and may have scored again when, according to reports. President Clinton decided not to nominate attorney Charles Ruff as number two person in the Justice Department. Ruff, who was Robb’s attorney during a grand jury probe of an illegal taping of a Wilder conversation, had come under fire from the governor for his part in the Robb defense. Wilder hinted he thought some secret deal may have been made between Ruff, a former Justice Department official, and federal prosecutors to lessen the chances of Robb being indicted. And while Ruff’s nomination was ultimately torpedoed because of his failure to pay Social Security taxes for a domestic worker, Wilder’s sharp criticism of Ruff certainly caught the attention of several members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to a Washington Post story. On the Republican side, Richard Cullen, who has been dismissed as a federal prosecutor by Attorney General Janet Reno, indicated be will seriously consider seeking the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate next year. Cullen echoed the feelings of a number of Republican loyalists when he said former Marine Colonel Oliver North, a key Iran-Contra figure whose conviction on charges was overturned on appeal, may not be the kind of candidate the party should field. But if North’s nomination is to be stopped either by Cullen, former OMB director James Miller, J. Marshall Coleman or anyone else, the formidable Virginia Through Both Barrels J task will have to take place soon. North has shown extraordinary ability to raise money and has been drawing large crowds of Republicans wherever he goes in the state. He is also picking up political chits by appearing at rallies for a number of GOP candidates for House of Delegates and local offices this year. Said one Republican who has seen North in action frequently, “The guy’s phenomenal, he’s got the kind of star quality that Warner has. I know there are those who think he has too much baggage, but I can tell you that out on the campaign trail head to head with Wilder or Robb or whoever he’d pin’em to the wall. But others aren’t so sure. “North may be regarded as a hero by most Republicans, but a lot of people who aren’t committed to either party may not see it that way. They may well regard the fact he didn’t serve time as taking advantage of legal technicalities on appeal," said one former Republican official. Another long-time Republican and observer of the state political scene lamented in general the attention begin focused on the senatorial race at the expense of this year’s statewide races. "It just shows all the new people in the state now outnumber the natives. We didn’t care who went to the Senate in the old days, that was just a federal election. What mattered was who ran for governor and the state offices. What’s happening, as crazy as it is, is just another sign of the times, more drifting away from our traditions.” (Editor’s note: John Goolrick. a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own and not necessarily those of this newspaper.)

Heck if we know, it’s only a photograph. The barrels you’ll want to see inside are on Barrels of Bucks tickets from the Virginia Lottery’s new instant game. Just scratch the area marked ‘Your Prize’ to reveal a dollar amount, then scratch the barrels. If you find a dollar amount that matches ‘Your Prize,’ you win that amount. Hey, don’t put the paper down yet, there’s more. If you reveal a second match, you’ll double your prize, up to $10,000. Kind of a double-barreled winner, you might say. Or maybe you wouldn’t. Anyway, there’s more barrel info in Game Talk. Tickets are on sale in vending machines and at Lottery retailers across the Commonwealth. Barrels of Bucks. Maybe you’ll win. Maybe you won’t.

Road hearing focuses on snow Route 683 bridge repairs estimated at $300,000 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Stair Writer Roads, from clearing them of snow, to widening and paving, to determining responsibly for maintaining a right-of-way consumed much of the Board of Supervisors’ meeting Monday afternoon and evening. At the afternoon session, the supervisors praised the efforts of VDOT in clearing the roads after the March snowstorm. Chairman Hubert Gilkey said, “We owe everybody at VDOT a round of applause and a pat on the back. It was a pretty super job.” Resident engineer Robert Moore said the effort had cost about $50,000. He said about 25 people from outside the department had been called in to help, most of them working in Fauquier County. In addition, several local people were hired to help with the cleanup effort, he said. He said the highway department workers started Friday night and didn’t finish until Wednesday. He noted that Rappahannock schools were open before those in surrounding counties. Emergency Services Coordinator Dieter Kneupfer said he had discovered a snowmobile would be useful for emergency evacuations. He said he was looking into the cost of buying or leasing one when Robert Bridges offered to donate a snowmobile and trailer to the county. Col. Kneupfer said it needs a fuel tank and windshield and is temporarily stored at his home. “We may not need it often, but it is handy when we need it,” he said. “The price was right too,” Mr. Gilkey added. t_i_ r\* i. '.i _ ^ 4 uavnovu L/ioU ivt 1CJJI COCUldUVC Ellis Bingham said some of his constituents had complained, “but the two times I called VDOT, the response was incredible.” Mr. Moore said the most frequenty complaint was from people concerned that snow plows blocked their driveways when they pushed snow. “These citizen concerns are normal,” he said. “People are not used to being stuck in their houses, especially with the sun out.” He compared the storm with one in 1983 and said that each time the department faces such a storm they evaluate their work to determine how they might do better next time. , Ron Makela, of Amissville, had several suggestions. At the evening session he presented the supervisors with a petition signed by about 148 citizens expressing concern with the snow removel. The petition said the signers “appreciated the initial efforts” but felt “a lack of concern in regards to the timely opening of the majority of the county’s back roads.” It said this “compromised fire and rescue” efforts and “placed county residents in an extremely hazardous position in regards to their services.” The petition suggested the supervisors determine how to avoid such a problem in the future. Mr. Makela, in presenting' the petition, specifically complained because crossovers on U.S. 211 weren’t plowed in Rappahannock County until Tuesday. He said they were plowed in Fauquier County on Sunday. He also mentioned several places where drifts were opened only one lane wide, especially places on hills. He said that Route 642 developed three ruts, making passing difficult since cars traveling in both directions were using the same middle rut. Col. Bingham said this was because citizens started driving on the road before VDOT could plow it. Mr. 'We owe everybody at VDOTa round of applause and a pat on the back.' — Hubert Gilkey Makela that suggested that Route 642 should be classified as a “primary secondary” road and be scheduled for plowing before other roads. Mr. Moore said, “Comments like these are helpful. They make us look at what we’re doing.” He said that VDOT guidelines call for opening all roads within 48 hours after the drifting stops, and that the department met those guidelines. In most storms the roads are cleared ahead of that schedule, he said. “For the last several years we have had no storms like this,” he added. On widening and paving gravel roads, there were not many comments. Most people asked about the status of projects already scheduled for the rest of this year and next year. Several people asked about the status of the road and bridge on Route 683, the back road to the county library. Mr. Moore said that the bridge is deteriorating and will have to have a lower load limit. He said the department will do a study of the amount of traffic on the road. Replacing the bridge, probably with a box culvert would cost about $300,000, he said. The annual budget for road improvements is about $560,000. Mr. Moore said VDOT will schedule an informational meeting after the study is done to see if county people would want to have such a large portion of an annual budget spent on this project. Library Board Chairman William Young asked if the bridge could be kept open for foot and bicycle traffic even if it is closed to cars. Robin Purnell asked if the speed limit coming into Washington by Springfest at 4-H Center The Rites of Spring are being celebrated at the Northern Virginia 4H Center on Wednesday, April 28.

She said cars are still going 55 and that because Baldwin’s is the only general store in the area, it has a lot of pedestrian traffic and children on bicycles. Mr. Moore said it would be possible to do another traffic study, but he said speeders would probably not obey an even lower speed limit. When the supervisors turned to an agreement to lease a former landfill site off Route 642 to the Rappahannock Athletic Association to develop for ballfields for youth sports, William Furr, who has a right-of-way through the property, asked if RAA would improve the road. Mr. Furr said he was concerned that cars would block the road with parking for ballgames and that the increased traffic on the road would cause it to break down. Members of RAA said the property would be developed in the future. They noted that they have to raise their funds through donations and fund raisers and said they could not commit to spending funds on the right-of-way. They noted that they have improved the roads to other ballfields, and said they would not use the right-of-way for parking. The lease is for 40 years at a cost of $10 per year. The supervisors voted unanimously to enter into the lease with RAA, and Col. Bingham donated the first year’s $10. ►T rash From Page A-l ginia Lindstrom for use as the magistrate’s office.

►Race From Page A-l Henry, who last accepted a rider’s trophy here with Ten Bar in 1990, was delighted with Made Up’s efforts. “I got this horse 10 years ago, as a 3-year-old,” he said. “Made Up won about 12 races on the flat, and placed in 18 or so,” Henry added. “I tried him as a show jumper, but he was a little hot for that. He seems to like his new job — he’s real honest, lots of heart.” The winner lent an air of confusion to the series as three of the year-end leaders now share a common bond. Henry Wood, Yves Henry and Thanks Henry the horse each have won their share of points in the owner-rider division. The ladies’ timber series was a showcase for Old Dominion subscribers Mr. and Mrs. V.R. Shackleford and rider Dawn Dugan. The Shacklefords’ Patagonico loped to an unchallenged, eight-length win. “He was jewel to ride,” Dugan said afterwards. “Today he was good, not too strong — subdued and settled when he hit a nice lick. “He jumped pretty darn good too. He stood way back and flew a few. It was nice to bring the whole thing together — the Shacklefords and me being ODH members.” The 9-year-old gelding led from the start, opening as much as 12 lengths on the field. Warrenton’s Sara Laimbeer held her Caustic Response in good position behind Du gan but was unable to close in the final stages. Laimbeer finished second in front of Alex White on Oficio. The ladies’ posted the fastest threemile pace of the day — 6:451/5. Waverly Farm’s recently gelded Peace of the Rock, a Virginia-bred 8year-old son of Rock Talk, took the open hurdle with nder Andy Wilson by 15 lengths fi uni Kool Mars. “Leigh [Louria, the trainer] said just to relax him,” related Wilson following his easiest of wire-to-wire victories. “With the tack change of adding a shadow roll, Peace of the Rock runs very relaxed. ” Owner-rider Jill Waterman drove her Abacus home to a second season score in the divisional hurdle race. Now leading the spring series, Waterman hit the front half-way through the two-mile contest, and retained a two-length lead over Chinn’s Crossing to the wire. “I knew that he’s not really a front runner,” said the 18-year-old Dickinson College student. “I was pleased with him not looking around or anything.” The overstuffed maiden hurdle race split into three divisions of nine runners each. Winner of the first division was Brooks Durkee on his Coman Tan. “My patience with his temperamental nature has been, finally, rewarded,” said the Monkton, Md. horseman. The former flat runner galloped home by eight lengths in the fastest maiden time of 3:21. The second section was won by Thomas DiZerega’s Gilded Gift, ridden by Joe Walsh. Wolver Hill Farm’s Mount Sinai, trained by former Old Dominion Hounds whipperin Charlie Cornwell, took the final maiden with Mike Elmore. RESULTS Junior Pony Raco. Small division. 1.

ICH Area pairs race back-to-back 1 Brown, Sims secure lead in fast-time series By HILARY SCHEER GERHARDT Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The weekend was a pair racer’s delight as the Warrenton Hunt and Old Dominion Hounds hosted wellattended hunter paces back-to-back. Mike Brown riding Oliver’s Tiger and Joyce Sims on Mqjor Nuisance captured the fast time pair race at Warrenton on Saturday, April 3. Finishing the three-mile, 14fence rolling course in 7:02.5, the Rappahannock Hunt pair defeated their only challengers, Suzanne Cummings on Nighthorse and Ted Miller on Spruzzone. The win now secures Sims and Brown a hefty lead in the Southern States fast time series. Representing the Old Dominion Hounds, Jack Hutcheson on Luke and Kathy Baldwin on Imperial Breeze practically perfected the obscure optimum time strategy. Hutcheson and Baldwin won War: renton’s senior optimum time Saturday then placed second at Old Dominion’s pace event Sunday. “Our strategy is to have fun,” said Hutcheson following the Warrenton win. “We just had a great time.” The pair of Ken Alphin on Count of Orlean and Walter Burton on Sunday’s Blessing captured the optimum time win at Old Dominion, finishing the 3'/2-mile challenging course just three seconds off the optimum time of 13:10. Junior riders Jason Jones and Chris Read of the Casanova Hunt proved their consistency and hunter pace skills over the weekend. The 15-year-olds emerged the winners at both pair races, catapulting them into a first-place position in year-end series. Ashley Settle and Mandy Elliott followed right on the teenager’s heels, as they placed second in the junior division at both Warrenton and Old Dominion. The Rappahannock Hunt juniors only trail the Casanova Hunt juniors by two points in the year-end series. “We really didn’t have a strategy — we just let the horses go on,” Jason said after completing Warrenton’s course. Jason piloted Vrolyk, a former carriage horse owned by L. Clay Camp, to the two wins. “We only slowed up going through the creeks,” added Chris, who rode New Hope Farm’s Diamond Bidder to the blue ribbons. The next pair race will be hosted by the Casanova Hunt at Mount Sterling Farm April 10. WARRENTON HUNT RESULTS Fast Tima. 1.

Guitar tour features Jackson and friends The Virginia Piedmont Guitarists Tour will bring its special concert and media presentation of five traditional African-American guitarists (and one harmonica player) to Washington on Saturday, April 7. The 7:30 p.m. program at The Theatre is locally sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. " The Tour showcases an outstanding group of blues, pre-blues, and gospel guitarists from Virginia, all of whom are recognized the world over as masters of the Piedmont Guitar tradition. Produced by the Virginia Folklife Program (a service of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities), the Tour will perform at 10 sites throughout the state, supported by grants from the Folk Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ruth Mott Pund. The Piedmont Guitarists Tour is an innovative mixed-media event designed to inform as well as entertain. It combines live performances on stage with brief video-documenta ries about the Piedmont Guitar tradition and about each artist, which are projected onto a ten-foot wide screen using a video-projection system. The guitarists featured in this tour are among the finest performers nationwide in this historically important African-American tradition. All are authentic folk musicians, which is to say that they learned their music from other traditional musicians in their families and in the rural communities where they were raised. Two of the featured guitarists — John Jackson, of Fairfax, and John Cephas, of Bowling Green — have each received the Heritage Fellowship Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, an awared honoring America’s finest traditional artists for keeping the nation’s divere cultural heritage alive. . Recent] recordings by Cephas and his harmonica-playing partner, Phil Wiggings (who joins him on this tour) have received W.C. Handy “Blues Album of the Year” Awards. John Jackson, a native of Rappahannock County, has toured the world playing his unique repertory of rags, blues, and country breakdowns. Turner and Lynn Foddrell, from Patrick County, have recently performed their regional- version of the Piedmont blues at Carnegie Hall. And 84-year-old guitarist Daniel Womack, of Roanoke, specializes in the performance of spirituals and early gospel songs he learned growing up in Pittsylvania County. Though their music is rooted in a shared cultural heritage once common to many communities of the rural south, each guitarist has a distinctive style and repertory —expressing his individual personality as well as regional differences within the tradition. The Piedmont guitar style, distinguished by its sophisticated finger-picking technique, was once widely heard as dance music and as accompaniment for sacred songs, love songs, ballads and blues throughout the Southeastern U.S. Using this characteristic fingerpicking technique, in which the thumb lays down a rhythmic bassline against which one or two fingers pluck out the melody of the tune, the Piedmont guitarist makes a single guitar do the work of several instruments. This technique is related to earlier traditional black banjo styles, which in turn derive from the music of West African lutes. The Virginia Piedmont Guitarists Tour offers a rare opportunity to see these traditional Virginia guitarists together, and its unique multimedia format will illuminate the rich cultural significance of the tradition. Admission for Saturday evening’s performance is $5. Tickets are also available at the following are locations: Mountainside Market in Washington, Faith Mountain Co. in Sperryville, Hackley’s Store in Amiss ville, Royal Oak Bookstore in Front Royal, Culpeper Music Center in Culpeper, and The Newr Leaf Bookstore in Warrenton. For additional information, call the RAAC office, (703) 675-3193. John Jackson In the Arts • “My Mother’s Castle” will be shown at The Theatre at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, April 11.

Tickets are $15. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Choreographer Sharon Wyrrick, right, rehearses with dancers Shari Avenius, Kim Doyle and Sally Nash. Wyrrick presents dances in D.C. Rappahannock company featured in production By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Choreographer Sharon Wyrrick of Woodville will present an evening of dance and theater at the Dance Place in Washington D.C. on April 17-18. She will be joined by three dance groups, including the Last Minute Wood Company of Rappahannock County, Thompson & Trammell of Harrisonburg, and Karen & Alvin of Washington, D.C. All four works in the two-hour show explore narrative story-telling through the medium of dance theater. Three of the dance pieces were choreographed and produced by Miss Wyrrick within the past two years. The fourth piece, “Ride With the Wind,” is a new, somewhat autobiographical work, in which Miss Wyrrick uses images of riding a swing, a horse, and a car to explore our changing concepts of freedom. She was raised in Oklahoma and originally planned for a career in graphic arts. She took a dance class while in college just because it was something she had always wanted to do. “1 got hooked very quickly and went from one class a week to two classes a day, six days a week,” she said in a recent interview. She returned to school after studying with the Tulsa Ballet Theater and earned a dance degree in ballet from the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Then she came east to Washington, D.C., and continued her dance schooling at American University. Well known tp Washington audiences for more than 10 years, she has produced numerous solo works and worked with her company, Full Circle. She uses dance, theater and panoramic imagery to tell personal stories that highlight cultural issues and global concerns. When not performing all over the country she finds time to work as a guest teacher at Mary Washington College and as a guest choreographer at James Madison University. She. has received several Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and support from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the D.C. Commission for the Arts, and the Eugene and Agnes Meyer Foundation. In the upcoming show in D.C., she offers dance fans four different perspectives on the human condition. The Last Minute Wood Company will be staging “Please Don't Kill the Messenger.” Led by Sally Nash, the company includes Kim Doyle, Shari Avenius, Nan Reddick and Cathy Kiley. Sharon Wyrrick This short, one-act piece is a zany juxtaposition of images centered on communication. The work explores how our perceptions of messages changes the more distanced we become from the original event by time, repetition of the message, and by the electronic marvels of our day. Cynthia Thompson and Kate Trammell of Harrisonburg will present “Body: a Short Story.” This story highlights our insane accumulation of stuff, all of which must be put aside if we are to enjoy the world around us. Miss Wyrrick said that it may be helpful to know about the Tibetan story of the ancient turtle that lives at the bottom of the sea. Once every thousand years it surfaces to take a breath. Imagine the odds that it might stick its head through a ring that floats along the ocean’s currents. Those are the odds that we will be bom into a human body, argue the Tibetans. Karen Bernstein and Alvin Mayes will be performing ‘HI HO,” written last year. The drama uses the metaphor of mountain climbers with their ropes and gear to look at the ties that bind couples together. These two accomplished dancers are well known in the Washington area for their repertory work. The four dramatic dance pieces will be presented at the Dance Place at 3225 Eighth St., NE, in Washington. It is only a few blocks from the Brookland Metro stop on the Red Line near Michigan Avenue and North Capitol, and near Catholic University. The Saturday night performance begins at 8 p.m. and the Sunday night performance at 7 p.m. For information and reservations, call (202) 269-1600.

'Magic' solves perennial prom problem Bv SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most men need to wear a tuxedo only once every 10 years or so, if we are lucky., We do not need to invest hundreds of dollars in a garment worn so infrequently. When the need arises we can rent one on Friday afternoon, wear it to the dance or wedding or fancy ball or whatever, and return it on Monday. Women are not so fortunate. They are expected to purchase fancy dresses for fancy occasions and all too often the dress is worn just that once. Ask any bridesmaid or high school senior headed for the prom. What they need is a fairy godmother of sorts, one who can who can fit them with a lovely gown for that special occasion and then take it away on Monday morning so it doesn’t r: clutter the closet for years to come. We have one in Rappahannock County now. Her name is Dawn Fisher and she lives on Mount Salem Avenue in Washington. Stored neatly away in her closets are more than 80 gowns in all sizes. Leading a tour through the racks of gowns, she said the dresses run from size 3-4 to 22. More than half are prom dresses, with a few coctail type dresses and a pair of wedding dresses. She is trying to build her inventory to match demand, which is greater for the larger sizes. “Most are one-of-a-kind and have names like Zum Zums, Jessica McClintock, Victor Costas, Scott McClintock, and Gunne Sax,” she added. “I can alter the dress and I rent them out for a longer period of time so the girls can accessorize them,” she said. The Fishers have served as parents for a host of foreign exchange students over the years and that is where she got the idea to try a different kind of business. “The exchange students wanted to experience the American prom — but were on such a limited budget. It was very difficult for them to justify spending that much money for a dress they would never use again,” she added. “I know almost nothing about business,” she said. “It has been a learning experience on a tiny level. “The IRS is a pen pal,” she quipped. “It is really more a service to the community than anything else, but it is fun and I am learning new things,” she said.

Jennifer Torneden won first place in debate Jennifer Tomeden, 19, a former student at Rappahannock High School won first place at the National Debate Tournament held at Mary Washington March 12-14. The American Debate Association (ADA) has over 120 colleges and universities participating. Harvard and Dartmouth are just a few participating. George Mason is currently ranked number two in the United States with Boston College preceding. There are between six and eight debates at each tournament. Four people participate in a single debate, two from each school. Usually about 15 schools participate depending on the tournament and school. Debates include a negative team and an affirmative team. The topic this year was: The United States should substanially change its development assistance policies toward the following nations: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India. Some of the areas debated about with in the topic countries include: Women in Development, Aids, Maternal Health Care, De-Mining Afghanistan, Human Rights issues, Global Wanning and banning The Pressler Amendment. Debate includes researching constantly to stay on top of the issues. There are thousands of pages of research that goes along with each topic every year. George Mason currently has six coaches which is many more than most schools have. In debate, one team reads a case and plan, example: case reads: 300,000 women die a year due to the lack of maternal health care in South Jennifer Torneden Aisa. Plan: The U.S. sends $17.1 million in aid plus set up goverment clinics using NGO’s (non-govermental organization), PVO’s (privatevoluntary organizations) and govermental clinics already in place. This is an example of an affirmative case. The first speaker reads a nine minute case proving and solving the problem. The second speaker is a part of the negative team. The negative team argues the affirmative plan won’t solve in South Asia. Each speaker has two speaches to give. All together it include eight speaches, considering tw'o per team. The affirmative and negative team has a total of 10 minutes to prepare speeches to debate throughout the round. Usually the last speaker of each team has about two minutes each to prepare an organized, efficient and clear speech. A judge sits in the back of the room and writes the arguements made by each team. Each team must tell the judge what arguements to vote on, in the end the judge decides if affirmative or negative won. Another part of debate that is fun is cross examination. Between the first four speeches the opposite team that is speaking asks three minutes of questions that, usually clears up any misunderstandings. Debate is a very educational experience. As soon as George Mason finds out next years topic, many hours to research will be taking place. With all the hard work from the coaches and debaters, George Mason could be number one next year in the country. Jennifer is the daughter of Karen Rodgers of Flint Hill.

Romans 4:24-25 states this as we read. "It will be reckoned to us who believe in Him (God) who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification " Armed with the fdith that Christ rose from the dead, the gravestone rolled away, likewise, we shall arise above spiritual death, our soul intact; for as God guides our spirit, the suffocating stones of despair, anxiety, and fear are rolled away and we shall be forever joyful. Therefore, may we praise Christ, our Savior, who gave His life on the Cross, that we might have life forevermore. Hallelujah ... Christ has risen!

Snacks provide nutrients By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economica Young children have small stomachs. They can’t eat enough in one 'meal to last until the next mealtime. Therfore, a planned snack is important to give children the energy they need throughout the day. Good snacks provide extra nutrients for growing children. Be sure the snack is “nutrient dense”, not “empty calories”. For example, juice is nutrient dense compared to a soft drink which contains only calories and not nutrients. Snack time is a good time for children to try new foods. Introduce on new food at a time along with a familiar food or beverage. Plan snack ahead of time. Make snack time fun! Young children ean easily choke on nuts, seeds, popcorn, raw vegetables, grapes, peanut butter, meat sticks, and hot dogs. Do not give these foods to infants. Closely watch young children when they eat these foods. Do not use honey in beverages and uncooked foods for infants under HOME ECONOMICS the age of one year. Honey may cotain botulisn toxins. Cookies and milk! Don’t eliminate cookies from your list of snack foods! Take your favorite cookie recipes and make them more nutritious. Reduce sugar - use 1/2 the amount of sugar in the recipe (if the recipe lists 1 cup of sugar, reduce that amount to 1/2 cup). Reduce fat - use 1/3 amount of fat in the recipe (if the recipe lists 1 cup of shortening, oil, or margarine reduce to 2/3 cup). Add fiber - replace all or part o white flour with whole wheat flour. Apple Pudding 1 cup leftover cooked rice 1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt 1 cup applesauce 1 teaspoon cinnamon Mix rice and applesauce togethe in a large bowl. Add cinnamon an* yogurt. Stir well.
