The bids are due May 10. The proposed budget for next year includes $82,400 for architect’s fees. Once the bids are received the hiring process begins. The board decided that it will review each bid and rank them according to the ability of the architectural firms to do the job. Several firms will be invited to make presentations, and the firms will be re-ranked. Regional Unemployment FaNs Unemployment feu over a point in the jobless rate of a year earlier.

Pheasant Hill a budding success story Roadside nursery expands> offers exotic varieties By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannoc k News Staff Writer This is the second year for Greg and Cindi Lockridge’s Pheasant Hill Nursery, and they are amazed at their success. They are renting space for a roadside stand from Paul Baldwin on IJ.S. 211, across from the School Board office and bus shop, just east of the Rappahannock Fanners’ Co-op. Last year they carried only plants they had bought from other nurseries, and this year they are continuing to resell plants, but they also have plants they have grown in a greenhouse they built on their property in Luray. The Thursday and Saturday before Easter were very successftd days, they said. Mrs. Lockridge said that many people were so tired of the cold wet spring, they wanted to buy anything blooming now. Mr. Lockridge said they sold out of dahlias and other blooming annuals on Saturday, and he had to go get more. In the greenhouse they are producing herbs, annuals and some perennials. “Our goal is to offer something to everybody,” Mr. Lockridge said. “We’re so small, we won’t have a lot of any one thing, but we will have a little of everything. We try to have a big variety of color throughout the year, and we want to have low maintenance plants.” 'We try to have a big variety of color throughout the year, and we want to have lowmaintenance plants.' — Greg Lockridge The larger plants they are still buying from other growers include azaleas, rhodedendrons, mountain laurel, junipers, hollies and lilacs. They also have a few Japanese maples. In the greenhouse they are growing miniature roses, herbs such as thyme, rosemary, sage, savory, basil and catnip. “I’ll try to have more exotics later,” Mr. Lockridge said. He is also experimenting with hot peppers. They are growing white marigolds and tithoniia, a short Mexican sunflower. Mr. Lockridge is from Luray, but his wife, Cindi Jenkins, grew up in Rappahannock and graduated from the local high school. “We met at the top of the mountain, at Skyland,” he said. He said both of their families have been very supportive of their efforts to start their own business. He also credits his co-workers at Four and Twenty Blackbirds in Flint Hill, where he works as a sous chef. “Heidi Morf is my plant mentor,” he said. He has also found other people in the nursery busifWSS very helpful!4 He said they have learned a lot from visiting uthor nurseries. Mr. Lockridge said he did have some experience with plants and gardens before getting started. For the Easter season they had signs with bunnies among the plants. “Well do a couple of things like that as the year goes along,” he said. He said he has learned that having lots of color is most important for getting customers to stop and look. Once they stop, he wants to encourage them to try something new and different. He believes that growing plants should be fun. His customers are a “nice mix” of local people and tourists, he said. If they want a plant he doesn’t have, he will try to find it. As the season progresses he also wants to add local crafts, and he is hoping to add his own hand-loomed rugs. He said that if they can market it, they will add locally-grown produce. Jobless claims decline CULPEPER — Rappahannock County has halved its unemployment rate since February, 1992, according to figures released last week by the Virginia Employment Commission. The latest figure for February', 6.7 percent, is down sharply from the 14.1 percent rate at this time last year. However, the rate continues its see-saw up and down movement following a seasonal low last fall, the VEC reported. The Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission reported that unemployment in February declined in all five counties of Planning District 9. The overall average unemployment rate for PD-9 for February was 5.6 percent, which is slightly higher than the state rate of 5.5 percent, but still well below the national figure of 7.7 percent. During the peak of the recession in February 1992, Planning District 9 had an unemployment rate of 9,4 percent, while the state rate was 7.3 percent and the national rate was 8.1 percent. The unemployment rate for surrounding counties in February was 4.3 percent in Fauquier, compared with 7 percent last year and a dip of seven-tenths of a percentage since January; 8.1 percent for Culpeper, compared to 12.9 percent in 1992; 4.5 percent for Madison, compared to 8.3 percent in 1992; and 6.7 percent in Orange, compared to 10.8 percent in 1992.

Shortfall cuts into WSA funds By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannurk News Staff Writer Members of the Water and Sewer Authority voted last week to withdraw another $5,000 from savings to pay current bills. This is the second time this year it has been necessary to make such a withdrawal. In addition, $4,000 has been withdrawn to pay fines to the State Water Control Board for violation^* last summer. This will leave about $39,000 in the authority’s savings account. At last Thursday’s meeting the authority had $1,232 in the checking account and $5,980 in unpaid bills. At the May meeting the authority members will have an on-site visit and develop a budget for the coming fiscal year. Member Jimmy Swindler Jr. reported that he and Troy Jenkins had inspected 19 representative tanks during rainy weather and found five they thought were taking in ground water. Based on that Mr. Swindler estimated that 30 to 50 tanks in the system may have problems that are contributing to heavy flows during storms. According to the consent order the authority signed with the SWCB ail the tanks must be inspected by the end of June and a plan developed to alleviate the problem. Mr. Swindler also, re Exceptional compa ny! in preparation for Easter, young and old gathered last week at the county’s Senior Nutrition Site at Trinity Church in Washington.

Spring sports season shifts into gear finally! Uneven start laid to weather; practice limits goalie. He had not played soccer before this year. “He’s doing an outstanding job,” Coach Maeyer said, arldincr that. .Tnliffp amovlntr their opponents as much as Rappahannock teams, track and field coach David van de Graff said that is not true for the track team. The other teams in the district have hard surfaced tracks which dry off quicker, he said, and they have been able to practice more. The team has been able to use the finished, but not yet open section of four-lane road for practice, particularly for hurdles. The team came in third in a three-way meet with Strasburg and Brentsville at Brentsville last week, but several runners had success. In the boys two-mile race Jason Waters came in first and Mike Grimsley second. Mark Jenkins was second in the one-mile race, and Randy Early ran second in the 400 meter race. Both boys and girls ran second in the 400-meter relay races, with Terra Hudsonpillar, Amber Early, Patty Atkins and Shannon Eastham running for the girls and Mike Gilkey, John Mallory, Jason Settle and Willie Shanks running for the boys. Coach van de Graff is pleased that 34 students came out for the team, but noted that seven are eighth graders who can practice and run with the team but cannot score. He is pleased also with his team’s appearance. The booster club purchased new uniforms for the track team and the players themselves purchased matching sweat suits. “They really look like a team,” he said. The track team also has a meet not included in the schedule published last week. On April 26 they will have a three-way meet with Orange and Madison, at Madison. Corrections In last week’s story about the Piedmont Guitarists Tour, the date was incorrect. John ; Jackson and friends will play - at The Theatre in Washington at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 17. Also, a name was omitted from last week’s listing of the honor students at Rappahannock High School. Dawn Havstad, an eighth-grader, should have appeared on the list of students receiving straight-As. The Rappahannock News regrets the error and omission. By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The cold wet weather finally let up enough for the high school spring sports schedule to get underway, and both players and coaches were happy to get started. The girls’ softball team won its first two games. They started out with a 13 to, 5 victory over Clarke County at home Tuesday. Susan Payne pitched five innings and her sister Amy came in in relief for the final two innings. Coach Renee Leake said she also expects to use Cindi Welch as a pitcher some this year. “I was real happy to finally get outside and get a game in,” she said, adding that she was also pleased that all team members were able to get into the game. Can Kerr, Laura McNear and Lori Paratore got two hits each. Jan Hitt got a double, and Shannon Walters, Marsha Freeman, Dindi Welch, Detrich Beaver and Emma Swatman also got a hit apiece. Monday at George Mason the girls won another victory, 37 to 11. They got 20 hits while allowing only four. Again Susan and Amy Payne shared the pitching giving up two hits each. Marsha Freeman went five for five at the plate. Emma Swatman was three for four with one double. Lori Paratore was also three for four with a double and tripple. Laura McNear was three for five with a triple and two doubles. Leah Marlett was two for four with two triples, and Cari Kerr also got a triple.

The hearing shall be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School Auditorium. Representatives from the State Water Control Board, the state regulatory agency governing the land application of sludge, will be in attendance. In addition, representatives of Fauquier County will be on hand to explain their county's regulation of land applied sludge. All persons are invited to attend and to make comments. By order of: John W. McCarthy County Administrator Coach Leake said she is very pleased with the play of all team members, and expects to finish as one of the top two teams in the district. Meanwhile the boys’ baseball team is one and one with a loss to Clarke County and a win over George Mason. They lost to Clarke County by a score of 8 to 5, but coach Mike Tupper was not discouraged. He noted that it was the first game of the season for his team, while Clarke County had played an earlier game. “The kids played hard,” he said. He noted that his team had made three errors and “one was costly. We left 11 men on base. We had the opportunity to win but didn’t take charge,” he added. He too was glad that the season had finally started and noted that his team had not been able to practice outside as often as the girls because the baseball field drains more poorly than the softball field. “After a while there is no more you can do inside,” he said. Richard Lillard had a double, and Jason Brown, Hunter Foster, Paul Brown, Luke Zindel and Barry Tummeyer had singles. J.C. Welch pitched four innings and Hunter Foster pitched two. Coach Tupper was pleased with the pitching which he said is “the key to success.” “I see a lot of improvement,” Coach Tupper said. “We will be ready for the second half of the season.” In the Monday game against George Mason, which the boys won 8 to 5, Coach Tupper said the team started rough on both offense and defense. J.C. Welch again started and struck out five, but two of those batters got on base with dropped balls. “He threw well but didn’t get defensive support,” Coach Tupper said. Leroy North relieved Welch in the third inning, and struck out eight. “He did a super job," Coach Tupper said. Paul Brown hit a tworun homer. In the top of the seventh inning Brown got another hit driving in two more runs. Richard Lillard also drove in two runs with a single and double. Luke Zindel got the team’s fifth hit. There will be an additional game for each team that was not included in the schedule in last week’s paper. This Saturday the teams will face Strasburg at home at 5 p.m. Games, starting with the away game against Strasburg on Friday April 23, will count towards district standings and the tournaments. The soccer team has one tie and two losses so far this season. Last week they lost to Central 4 to 2 and then tied William Monroe 1 to 1 after two five minute overtimes. “They have come a long way, and they have improved,” Coach Uli Maeyer said, lfollowing the game against William Monroe. “I credit that to the fact that these guys have played all year." He noted that most of the players had participated in the fall season in the Warrenton youth league and then had played indoor soccer in a Herndon league during the winter. One pleasant surprise of the season has been Kevin Joliffe’s play at letic ability. Coach Maeyer said that this is still a building year for his team, but he has found his team able to compete against the other teams on the schedule. “The determination of the players has gotten us where we are,” he said. On Monday the team lost to Madison 2 to 0. Following that game Coach Maeyer was less enthusiastic about his team’s play. “I’ve never seen them play worse," he said. Madison scored its first goal 15 minutes into the first half and its second three minutes later. The rest of the game was scoreless, as the Rappahannock players seemed to lack offensive punch. The soccer schedule has also been changed. The game with RMA this Thursday will be away, and the game also with RMA scheduled for May 6 will be at home. Although the other coaches said that the wet weather has affected Scrapping for a loose ball, Mike Brown (17), races a Madison player during Monday’s soccer game.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1993 Land-Use Tax No Burden Counties all around us are beginning to hold public [hearings on their budgets, and attacks against land use [taxation, like a broken record, have begun once again. A number of residents attacked the land-use program in [Fauquier last week, for example, seeing in its demise a way to ifiind any number of worthwhile programs, most prominently ■the schools. While land-use taxation has been a cornerstone of regional ■planning and land-use policies for a number of years, especially |in Fauquier, the multitude of attacks and the venom launched against the system gives one pause. Is the policy still viable, more and more people are asking. Given the urban growth pressures that are increasingly exerting their influence, this may be a policy that has outlived its usefulness, they suggest. On another level, the state is being urged to look at the program. House Joint Resolution 669, passed by the General Assembly, will initiate a two-year study of “the extent of use and fairness of the Commonwealth’s various ‘land use’ tax programs,” with an interim report due no later than Nov. 1. The Piedmont Environmental Council, which does an admirable job of tracking these things, worries that the HJR 669 study “might develop a mind of its own and respond in unforeseen ways to public perceptions of abuse within the use value taxation program.” Land use taxation has, more than any other single item, holds ruinous urbanizing forces at bay and helps maintain a realtively clean line between the urban and rural. While it may be appropriate to revisit the policy, any substantive revision is unwarranted. That includes the decision of this county Board of Supervisors last October to remove open space as a catagory for land use eligibility, a decision that we find abhorrent in its short-sightedness. From every corner, the land-use value tax classification for farm land in agricultural use is defended by even the most vociferous critics. How'ever, they have focused on open space and forest lands, w hich have been identified as likely and logical targets. — Open space and forest lands, however, contribute as much to the quality of rural life as the working farm, and are equally worthy of protection. In addition to their aesthetic value, they also serve as environmental buffers for our watersheds, for example. We suggest instead that the counties direct their efforts at delinquent tax collection rather than attacking the land use program. As one Fauquier speaker pointed out last week, the multi-million shortfall in the schools’ budget there could be covered if the treasury could only recover the delinquent real estate and personal property taxes owed the county. We applaud and encourage every collection measure, including the sale of property long in arrears, that will afford opportunities to raise funds while leaving the land-use tax — a real benefit to all taxpayers — intact.

Letters to the Special Olympics at Woodberry To the Editor: On behalf of the Special Olympic athletes of Area 17 of Virginia Special Olympics, I would like to invite your readers to our 1993 Spring Games. The Spring Games will take place at Woodberry Forest School on Saturday, April 17, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Woodberry Forest School is on Route 15 in Madison. Special Olympic athletes from Orange, Madison, Culpeper, and Rappahannock counties will compete in track and field events that include the 50 meter, 100 meter, 1 miles run, and the 4x4 relay. Field events include standing-long jump, runninglong jump, and softball throw. The day will also include an aapearance by Washington Redskins’ Wide Receiver Steven Hobbs, who will officiate the awards ceremony. Special Olympics began 25 years ago with the purpose of providing an Olympic-style competition for the mentally challenged. The Special Olympic oath reads: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me brave in the attempt.” Please come out to cheer on these special athletes to victory, and leave with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart. CINDY SWITZER Virginia Special Olympic Area 17 Publicity Coordinator Motorists at fault, or bus drivers? To the Editor: A Rappahannock County School Bus Driver could have a problem on occasion with a motorist failing to stop for a bus - loading or unloading children. However, it’s hard to believe that citizens of Rappahannock County are out here to run buses on purpose. If, an fact, 8 or more people have run by school buses since January, then there is a problem! Let’s look at the bus driver. Are they operating the bus correctly? Are they aware of the motorist approaching them from the front and rear? Are they letting the motorist know well ahead of time they have to make a stop? I have never driven a school bus before, but I would say there is more to operating a bus then making it go and stop. You have to use a little common sense, and good judgement. I am concemced about school bus safety, therefore I feel we have to look at this problem for both sides, the school bus driver and the motorist. HOWARD JONES Flint Hill McCarthy's landfill figures questioned To the Editor: I would like to take exception to county administrator John McCathy’s spread sheet stating that it costs us $77 per ton to dispose of our trash. Either there is a glitch in his computer, or all the facts have not been presented. As was reported in the Rappahannock News in March, Mr. McCarthy stated that the county generates 18 tons of trash a day, or 6,570 tons a year. He also stated that it presently costs us $200,000 per year to transport from the re mote collection sites and operate the landfill. My calculator tells me that only comes to $30.44 per ton, so I’m not sure how he arrives at the $77 figure. If he is including the cost of acquiring the landfill in his calculations, I can only agree with Abraham Lincoln who said there were “liars, damn liars and figures.” The landfill has already been expensed so whether we continued to use it, or haul to Fauquier, that cost will not go awray. And speaking of hauling the trash to Fauquier; by his figures the cost is expected to rise to $55 a ton very shortly, and it is not unreasonable to expect to pay $10 a ton to haul to Fauquier. Further, our landfill would have to remain open; it would be pointless to haul metal or burnable waste at $65 per ton, and the leachate pond will have to be maintained. So we find that the cost to haufto Fauquier is $65 a ton or $427,05&a year, plus unknowns! Will someone tell me how that is cheaper than the present $200,000? I would be the first to point out that the present costs are too high. Our collection sites are an expensive eyesore. The process of permanent containers makes the pickup labor intensive, and because they are unattended, collect everything from tires to white goods to constructs® rubble, for which we pay to tip Continued on Page A-6 Poll would settle Va. GOP debate By JOHN GOOLRICK I would like to offer a modest proposal to the Virginia press corps, one that might be of service to its readers and listeners — particularly its Republican readers and listeners. Before revealing the idea, let me say up front my gut feeling from talking with various members of the media, Republican activists and some academic types is that George Allen and Jim Gilmore have the votes to be nominated by the GOP for governor and attorney general, respectively, and that the race for lieutenant governor between Michael Farris and Bobbie Kilberg is too close to call. Having said that, I know my thoughts will be looked on with suspicion in some quarters since I worked for Allen during the 14 months he was in Congress. I can only say the I am basing my observations on many years’ experience as a journalist and later an active participant in the political process. But for the sake of providing useful information, I suggest the state press corps — perhaps led by Virginia’s premier newspaper located in Richmond —undertake a scientific poll to determine how the 14,000 or so folks who will cast more than 8,000 delegate votes at the June 5 state Republican convention w'ill distribute those votes. At the moment Allen has proclaimed victory and has already started looking to the fall campaign by setting his sights on prospective Democratic nominee Mary Sue Terry. I told him in a recent conversation I felt that was sound strategy since the former attorney general is a very formidable candidate currently considered the favorite to win, and an early start is essential. Yet spokespeople for gubernatorial condidates Earle Williams and Clinton Miller contend the race is still wide-open because all of the delegates, or at least nearly all, are uncommitted and can be swayed. They are right, I suppose, in that the delegates are not legally bound to vote for any particular candidate on the first or subsequent ballots. But I submit there is a difference between uncommitted and undecided; and I would be surprised if any sizeable number of delegates still haven’t made a choice between the three candidates for governor. The media, though, has both an opportunity and somewhat of an obligation to help shed light on what Virginia Through Both Barrels n will probably happen at a convention that is still al- » most two months away. There is no obligation to Republicans, but there is perhaps to the general public, whose stake in the coming statewide elections is -v large. With all its resources, the media can conduct a . rational survey of enough of those who will be attending the convention to determine the likely outcome of the balloting. After all, if pollsters can tell us by calling a few thousand people how millions of voters will react when casting ballots for President, then surely the can use polling data to make an accurate forecast of the GOP ticket. During gubernatorial election years the media frequently conducts surveys to let us know which candidates are in the lead, even though The Washington Post survey has been so blatantly biased I would suggest it stay out of the polling I am suggesting in this column. If one media organization is unwilling to do the survey by itself, them let them band together and pay for it by hiring the Mason-Dixon group or some other reputable firm. Perhaps a poll would conclude that all the nominations are still up for grabs and if that were the case, interest in the convention would be all the more heightened. But if the poll concluded that a couple of the contested races appear to have already been decided, then valuable information would have been dispensed helping settle some important lingering questions. Now remember, media folks, you will not be_ doing this for the benefit of the Republican Party of Virginia, but for the people of Virginia as a whole. So I hope you’ll get busy immediately and report back in a couple of weeks. (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former politicalreporter, is now an aide to 1st District Congressman Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own, a nd not necessarily those of this newspaper.)

Continued from Page A-4 hauled, compacted, and then take up room in the landfill. The landfill operator is paid to operate two machines 20 hours each a week; since 18 tons a day is not much, the reality is they seldon Work over five hours a week. I am jure the contractor is very happy at our expense. The only thing citizens without children in the school system get for their taxes is the privilege of driving three miles to dispose of our trash, versus 15 miles to the landfill. Closing remote sites certainly serves us badly. I would suggest thait opening more would be more appropiate. Not these rat-infested blights we now have, but small, attended compactors, fenced for safety and illegal dumping, places that could be manned by part-time people such as community service servers, prisoners of our local jail, or by a contractor. Our landfill is a great asset. If opening a new cell to present standards is expensive, then five-year bonds should be sold while interest rates are at a 25-year low. The cost of the new cell should not be paid in one year. We would end up paying much less than the proposal of hauling to Fauquier. Let’s not find a shortterm solution to a long-term problem. J.D.

MEMBERSOFCCVFC Choral society to perform By CAROLINE WATTS Rappahannock News Special Writer The members of the Madison Choral Society are “fine-tuning” for their Spring Concert on April 18 at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church at Haywood in Madison County. There will be two full performances given, one at 3:30 p.m. and the other at 7:30 p.m. The church is on Route 609, the Hoover Raod, between Route 231 and U.S. 211. The first portion of each performance will be three of Handel’s Coronation Anthems. George Frideric Handel, whose most celebrated coZpostition is the Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah, had earlier composed the Coronation Anthems as his first official duty as Court Composer for the King of England in 1727. Some movements of the Coronations Anthems were incorporated by Handel into Messiah and will be recognized by many. At least one Coronation Anthem has been performed at every English coronation since King George II. The second portion of each performance will be a selection of anthems by John Rutter, one of the most prolific and widely recognized sacred and choral music composers and arrangers of our time. Rutter also founded the Cambridge Singers, and has been made an Honorary fello of Westminster Choir College, Princeton, New Jersey, which is where Wagner did his graduate work in choral conducting. Some of the selections will be performed a cappella, others accompanied by Faye Utz on the piano or Alice Hess on the oboe. Since 1986 the Madison Choral Society has presented Christmas and Spring Concerts, often with orchestral accompaniment or guest soloists. It wants to accommodate its expanding supporters, while still aspiring to be the best community chorus it can be.

Those bids are also due May 10. The board also learned that the average daily membership through March was 1,018 students. State aid to localities is based in part on ADM. The current budget was based on an ADM of 1,010. The eight additional students will mean some increase in state aid, but Dr. Gangel said he did not yet know how much. The budget proposed for next year is based on an ADM of 1,040, or an increase of 22 students over the actual average membership so far this year. Membership this year was highest in September and October and has been dropping since November. That has generally been true, but for the past two years enrollment increased through December, Dr. Gangel told the board. This year the drop in membership has been faster than in previous years. Membership at the end of March was 997. Dr. Gangel gave the board a list of $89,350 in unanticipated expenditures so far this year. Some of this shortfall will come out of savings in teachers’ salaries. Some can come from savings in fuel usage, and some can come from additional state aid,' but Dr. Gangel said he does not yet know if he can handle all expenses without asking the Board of Supervisors for an additional appropriation. The board heard a report from seventh graders Crystal Leake and Eliza Coon on their trip to Jamestown and Williamsburg. Trip sponsor Arthur Neufeld said that the trip had been cut short because of the predicted snowstorm. The students returned home at 4 p.m. Friday March 12 instead of 8 p.m. Mr. Neufeld said this actually made the trip better since they returned home less exhausted than in other years. He said he would recommend that in future years they eliminate the visit to the fine arts museum and St. John’s Chruch in Richmond and one dinner, and that the trip be moved from the second week in March to the third week in April. The increased ticket prices for later in the season would almost entirely be balanced by eliminating some of the events on the last day, he said. The board received the special education plan and tabled it for action at the May meeting. Margarita Piper, director of pupil personnel, said that the plan included mainly changes mandated by the federal government that require meetings and plans to prepare students in special education for the transition from school to the world of work and independent living. She said there were also mandated changes in terminology. Instead of “mentally retarded students” there are now “students with mental retardation” and similar changes for other categories of special education. Assistant superintendent Robert Chappell reported that because of repeated problems with leaks in the elementary school roof, the manufacturer, Owens Coming, is planning to have a contractor put a twoply cover over the roof. Mr. Chappell said he is waiting for written confirmation of this proposal. The board voted to accept Dr. Gangel’s recommendation that one of the three days missed for snow be made up by having school on Memorial Day and that two additional days not be made up but be compensated for with “banked time.” He said the only real alternative would be to delay graduation by a week, and since school runs longer than usual this year because Labor Day was late; a later graduation “would be a mess.” Five days missed for snow were made up because an additional five days were included in the schedule. The state allows school systems to bank time for emergencies if the school day is longer than six hours. The board approved an afterprom party sponsored by Students Against Drunk Driving and the Community Coalition Working for Healthy Youth. The alcohol-free party will be held from midnight to 3 a.m. May 8-9 at Lakeside Swim Club in Culpeper and will cost the students $2 each. The sponsors are asking for support from the community for the party. Art celebration for children “Art in the Park”, Windmore’s program to help the children of the community who are interested in art create and learn new and interesting ideas, will be held at Precious Blood Church in Culpeper. Classes will be held for 9-12 year olds from 10-11:30 a.m. and 1-2:30 p.m. the week of July 12-16. The weed of July 19-23 classes will be held for 6-8 year olds from 10-11:30 a.m. and 1-2:30 p.m. The finale of the fourth year, The Art Celebration, will be held in Precious Blood Church Hall from 11-3 on July 24. Registration will be held at Culpeper Days, Saturday, May 1. This will be on a first come first serve basis. The fee this year will be $20 for the five day session.

Authority members voted to purchase several switch boxes to monitor the number of times selected tank motors turn on and off. Mr. Swindler also reported plant operator Donna Chabot said this spring the elementary school’s sewer plant was discharging even on weekends when school is not in session. It has to be checked whenever it is discharging. As a result the people hired to operate the Sperryville plant on weekends will also be checking the school system’s plants, according to Mr. Swindler. The treasurer also reported that he had received a bid of $5,366 from Country Water Systems to make modifications to the plant to alleviate surge problems that are caused by the design of the plant. The members of the Authority then voted to advertise for bids to complete the necessary renovations.

Shirt tales are told By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock New« Contributing Writer Mushrooms are common in Shirt Tail Hollow, particularly after a rainy spell in the spring. The old timers say that some mushrooms make you drunk (today’s generation says “hallucinogenic”), some make you sick, some make you dead, and some, persumably a minority, are good to eat. Partly because there are so many other plants and trees to learn, most folks in the Hollow learned to identify only two kinds of mushrooms: merkles, which are good to eat, and all the rest, which aren’t. Aunt Suzanne wanted to learn more about mushrooms. She met a woman in Speiryville who had led mushroom-picking tours, and claimed to be an expert on the subject. Aunt Suzanne invited her to stop by. When she arrived she looked fairly normal, but identified herself as an expert mycologist. A mycologist, she was quick to tell, is a specialist in fungi, and her special interests among the fungi was edible mushrooms. Joy, Aunt Suzanne, and Uncle Fred accompanied her up the trail. The expert pointed out different kinds of mushrooms, and told them which ones were good to eat. “Oh, look," said the expert, “these on the left side of the road are good eating. They’re better than Psalliota campestris. Look at the broad pileus! You can tell them because they don’t have a ring below the stripe.” Aunt Suzanne and Joy nodded sagely. “Look!” continued the expert. “On the right side of the road! That’s the chanterelle all the restaurants are looking for!” She quickly scooped up several handfuls into her paper bag. “These are delicious fried in butter with pepper. I had several for dinner last night. And one restaurant will pay me $29 a pound for them.” She gently patted her stom ach. “I think I ate a few too many, however,” she said coyly. “I was up half the night getting rid of them.” Uncle Fred whispered to Aunt Suzanne and Joy. “Who’s her insurance agent? I hope her insurance is paid up.” Finally the mushroom expert left with a bag full of several pounds of $29 mushrooms. Aunt Suzanne, Uncle Fred, and Joy told Earl and Clovis about their adventure. “Some expert,” said Uncle Fred. “She gets sick on her own mushrooms. Did you get the name of the restaurant? Because I never want to eat there! I’ll get my mushrooms from the can with the picture of the Jolly Green Giant.” “Actually,” he added, “I’m the real mushroom expert. Did you know that? I’ll show you.” Uncle Fred led us down the trail. “Those mushrooms over there,” he said waving his left arm, “are left-side of the road mushrooms. And these” - he waved his right arm “...are right side of the mushrooms.” He pointed to one lonely mushroom in the middle of the trail that had somehow escaped being crashed underfoot. “And this mushroom is the best kind of all - it’s a middle of the road mushrooms - Toadstoolis middleoftheroadensis! Thirty dollars a pound! What else do you need to know? Everyone else knew enough and had heard enough, and headed back to the house. That evening Aunt Suzanne cooked spaghetti for supper. She prepared her usual excellent sauce with ripe tomatoes, a variety of spices, hamburger, sausage, and store-bought mushrooms. The spaghetti sauce looked, smelled, and tasted as good as always. But most folks lacked a hearty appetite that night, and most plates had some spaghetti sauce left over. Uncle Fred was the only one who ate all his mushrooms. The Bunny's best Photos courtesy Robin Purnell Two works included in ‘Images of Russia/ are ‘St. Petersburg Courtyard/ top, and ‘Woman in the Park.’ Gallery displays 'Images of Russia' By LOIS MANOOKIAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Robin Purnell is clearly indebted to the time recently spent living in St. Petersburg, Russia. But her work now on view at the Middle Street Gallery springs equally from her mastery of technique. Superior skills are evident, whether she is using paint, pastels, or colored pencil. Especially brilliant is her use of alkyd (oil base paint) or egg tempera on masontie. These pictures glow7 with exquisite detail and a sombre light. Her colors are carefully chosen. I’m told that Russians never smile in public. They consider it unseemly. Today’s Russian clothes are still much like costumes from the past. Children are still innocent in ways our media hip kids are not. St. Petersburg is a city of crumbling grandure caught in a vise of change on top of neglect. All these aspects of Russia today are here. Ancient, mythic, religious Russia is also apparent. Robin captures the surreal atmosphere of St. Petersburg in a style reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch and his dreamworld visions. Her portraits often borrow from other Old Masters. “Woman Selling Seeds” and “Woman Selling Tulips” are both intensely felt, formal icons. Russian women star in this show. Some personify the deeply religious, earthy, durable peasant woman who brings rural Russia to even her city labors. Collectively they are seen in the Bathhouse pictures, quietly enjoying their comaraderie, their chance to relax with complete lack of selfconsciousness. Icons appear frequently. So does the symoblic fish of Christianity. Look closely at Robin’s work. You will find faint symbols such as a fading hammer and sickle, or the small dead Communist doll. One painting is devoted to Baba Yaga, the powerful and wise witch who disciplines children, and the very strange Chicken House where she lives. “Russian Boy Age 11” may be the essence of Robin’s message, so beautifully and delicately rendered, pie boy is vaguely disturbing in his innocence, carrying a homemade gun and plane. It is 1991, yet the past clings to him. in his clothes, in the colors. There is war in the Persian Gulf, another one threatening in Lithuania. Russian churches are filling up again. The symbols this boy holds, of war and Christianity, defy reconciliation. His future seems poignantly unreal and unstable. Symbolism is the entire story in “Russian Winter”. Here old and new are joined, yet scattered, almost as though flung at random in front of the menacing woods. As a composition, this painting lacks cohesion, noticeable in comparison to other symbolic paintings such as “St. Pe tersburg Courtyard” or the before' mentioned "Baba Yaga and Her Consorts”. Among the many pictures that reward close attention is “Study of Fish”, a colored pencil and graphite drawing. Robin uses restrained color and a mastery' of drawing technique to create a stunning set of images. These are merely homedried fish, but fish here become symbols of eternal beauty and fulfillment. Throughout this show, Robin’s intention is deeply serious. She looks for meanings to w'hat she has seen and experienced in Russia. I hope enentually she will find the opportunity to build a show on her vision of North American meanings. Her current work is compelling. “Images of Russia” will travel to Washington, D.C. for exhibit at the Mahler Gallery, 406 7th St., N. W., in June. Dealing with deafness defies description Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Nathan Sanders got some help from the Easter Bunny at the Washington VFD’s egg hunt last Sunday. By Walter Day Rappahannock News Contributing Writer It all started when I discovered that my left ear was working at about 30 percent and the other one, 60 percent. Actually I should not say that I discoved it because my deficient hearing had been noted and mentioned by several people, several times, for several years. I would always scoff and say, “I can hear anytime I want to!” I early on realized that it was embarrasssing to always be asking people to repeat themselves so 1 developed a listening manner which was designed to make people think that I could hear as well as the next guyHere is how it works. Early in a conversation it is important to establish what the subject is and what direction the person speaking is headed. With this information one has then to decide whether to participate actively and really understand what is going on or just appear to be interested. There are several factors that will affect this decison; which ear is nearer to the speaker, the speakers natural volume and of couse if you are the one being spoken to as the principal listener. I will explain first the “general purpose excape”. This is my common approach to avoid being “found out”. As anyone knows who has participated at a large Lunch Bunch gathering, there are three or four simultaneous conversation going on, none of which have any particular merit. These voices are not too hard to hear but almost impossible to sort out. 1 slump slightly in the chair, assume a slight scowl with pursed lips and stare unblinking, vert intently, straight ahead. This creates a very serious mood of intense meditation and mature intelligence. No person would dare interrupt such an important moment. (There is a perfect example of my doing this in the Fauquier Times Democrat in their photo coverage of the Lunch Bunch in November 1992 accompanying the excellent article by Frances Bishop). Fortunately for most hard of Day By Day hearing listeners, most talkers do not really care if anyone hears or understands as long as they get to talk without interruption. It is only good manners to appear interested. Smile when the talker smiles, frown when he frowns. When your turn comes he will repay in kind. At lunch one day Freddy and I were on the far end of the table from the Senator who is famous for ammusing stories. He told his story and everyone laughed heartily including Freddy and me. Freddy then turned to me and asked “WTiat did he say?” I answered. “I was going to ask you.” Later we asked Butch what the joke was and he explained. We did not laugh again. It seemed to have lost something in the retelling. Besides, one joke, one laugh, a Lunch Bunch policy. I notieced at my 45th college reunion that the people who were not wearing hearing aids would remark that tioo many people were mumbling. At least I did. Rosie accuses me of writing this particular item so that I could justify not buying a hearing aid for a while longer. I had to ask her three times what she said. Definition: A bore is someone who keeps talking when I want to talk. A late breaking announcement. There is going to be a Lunch Bunch for the “other” sex. This column will deal with this news at a later time. The present group has never claimed to have a sexual definition. One wonders what the “other” sex is going to be. —i 'Roundabout Movie this weekend ‘Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey’ is this weekends movie at The Theatre in Washington. The 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. movie will be shown on Sunday, April 18.

A tree is a survivor... withstanding tempestuous winds ... towering over time, branches spiraling in space. Though assaulted by the elements, the tree will survive, providing the roots remain strong, forging through fertile soil, bringing life to the entire length of its structure God made provisions for the tree. Likewise, God made provisions for our survival. If our roots are founded in His Word, we too shall tower over life’s tempests. Romans 11:16 assures us. “...if the root is holy, so are the branches.” Root your life in God as you worship each Sabbath. There is hope for a tree. There is hope for you.
