At the regular meeting in February Treasurer Helen Platt told Library Board members that the stockbroker at Wheat First Securities, where the board had recently opened an account, suggested that the library sell all the small stock holdings except some shares in Exxon. The board voted to accept the broker’s advice, but did not set a specify a time frame. At a meeting early this month to discuss library policies Mrs. Platt told the board members she had not sold the stock. Some of the members were angry and voted to hold last week’s meeting just on that issue. At last week’s meeting board member Mary Jamieson submitted a letter noting that between February and the end of May the stocks had increased in value by $652 and had paid $78 in dividends. She said she had to leave the meeting before a vote but said she would favor keeping the stocks.

The supervisors cut $26,701 from the budget and passed it with tax. rates of 62 cents per hundred for real estate and $2.90 for personal property. The cuts approved were $1,200 from the Board of Supervisors, $2,701 from the County Administrator’s office, $17,500 from the Planning Commission and $5,000 from contributions to other agencies such as Legal Aid. The 62 cent rate for real estate represents a 24 percent increase over the current 50 cent rate. The rate for personal property is unchanged. Hampton District representative Mike Massie had hoped to cut enough to reduce the tax rate to 61 cents, but other supervisors did not approve his suggestion to eliminate health insurance for supervisors and travel funds and funds for dues and subscriptions for the board. Mr. Massie suggested CountyAdministrator John McCarthy’s administrative secretary receive the same raise as other county and state employees. The supervisors compromised on that issue giving her $2,000 less than Mr. McCarthy had asked for. There was little discussion on the decision not to fund contributions to Legal Aid and other social service agencies. The supervisors have over the years always cut these funds from the budget. “A year when you are raising taxes is not a good year to look for ways to spend money," Mr. M£ssie said. Mr. Massie suggested that Mr. McCarthy’s secretary should not receive a salary higher than the Deputy Treasurer or Deputy Commissioner of Revenue. Those salaries are set by the state. “It’s a personnel issue, not a personal issue,” Mr. Massie said. “My fear is that if we get one position out of whack on the high side, we’ll be asked to supplement the others.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said that he had always received outstanding service from Mr. McCarthy’s assistant. He noted that most surrounding counties supplement state salaries, particularly for beginning deputies. Mr. McCarthy said his secretary’s position is “different” from the positions of deputy treasurer or deputy commissioner of revenue. Mr. Massie noted that supervisors are paid $1,200 per year while members of the fire and rescue squads volunteer for free.

State Rates County High on Ability To Pay By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Along with statistics on student performance ih the Outcome Accountability Project the state released data on the communities that state school systems serve. The purpose of these figures according to the state is to help in evaluating the results in the schools. However these figures are interesting in themselves. As readers of the Rappahannock News know, Rappahannock County is ranked very high, higher than any surrounding locality and all but 11 or so in the state, on the state’s Local Composite Index (LCI), whichsupposedly measures a locality’s ability to pay for education. The primary reason for the high LCI is the “fair market value” of local real estate. But the county is also ranked above the state average in mean per capita income. However, the OAP statistics show that is not the case for median per capita income. The median adjusted gross income in Rappahannock county according to the 1990 U.S. Census is $21,315, compared tb a state median of $22,037. That number is also somewhat lower than the median income for Culpeper County and considerably below the Fauquier County median income. Rappahan nock’s median income is higher than that for Madison, Page or Warren counties. Also according to the statistics provided by the state, eight percent of Rappahannock families are below the federal poverty level, exactly the same as the state average, and higher than the Culpeper County’s seven percent, Warren County’s six See Students, Page A-3 Student Test Scores Above State Average By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock public school students continue to do well in measurements reported in the state’s Outcome Accountability Project (OAP). Statistics released in May are for the 1991-92 school year and for the two years before that. This past year Rappahannock students did better than the state average on 25 measures, below the state average on 14 and on one were at the state average. Some measures are reported twice. County students also did better in these measures than students in surrounding counties, scoring better than Culpeper students in 27 measures, below in 11 and the same in one, scoring above Fauquier students in 24 measures, below in 18 and the same in two, scoring above Madison students on 25 measures, below on 10 and the same on five, scoring above Page County students on 29 measures, below in eight and the same in three, and scoring above Warren County on 29 measures, below in nine and the same in two. There are several measures See OAP, Page A-3 Rappahannock News Historical Photo On July 4, 1984 Bernard Dalgren was the proud flag bearer as the crowd gathered at Avon Hall for fireworks. An Invitation: It is the 32nd consecutive year since the Carrigans have invited the people of Rappahannock County to celebrate the Declaration of Independence on the hills of Avon Hall in Washington, Va. I am glad to extend this invitation again this year because the Town of Washington is sponsoring a wonderful fire works display at the lake, and also because our country for 217 years has maintained freedom from domination by a foreign power. This freedom is so precious in the world today that we need to keep constant vigilance to preserve it from all forces. This celebration is a reminder that the founding fathers were right when Benjamin Franklin announced that “We have a Republic as long as you can keep it.” 217 years ago the Continental Congress feared that if they did not write in sufficient protection they might go the way of most past republics. Benjamin Franklin warned against how7 most governments, when unable to settle disagreements peacefully, left decisions to “chance, war, and conquest.” How7 right he was. We have fought many w ars in 217 years, including three of the worst wars known to man. A w7ord about safety. Personal fireworks of any kind are^forbidden on the grounds of Avon Hall. There will be a police patrol, and fireworks illegally brought onto the grounds can be confiscated. We have had 31 years without an accident - let us continue the record. The Carrigans want everyone to enjoy the privilege of celebrating independence from foreign power, but we must earn it. Help each other. There is no charge. - Wm. M. Carrigan

Stalker Convicted By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer Edward Lambert was found guilty of abduction, assault, and tampering with a motor vehicle in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court recently. The offenses, which occured last October, took place when Lambert followed a woman in her 50s as she drove west on U.S. 211 one evening around 11. When the woman turned off U.S. 211, Lambert continued to follow her to Route 602. He finally blocked her way after she turned onto Route 601. Lambert got out of his vehicle and tried to enter her car. He had a T-shirt pulled over his head as a mask. When he discovered that her vehicle was locked, he kicked the panels and hit the windows. * The woman eventually drove around Lambert’s vehicle and went to a nearby house to call for help. Lambert was arrested later. At the trial the jury recommended a sentence of 12 months on both the abduction and assault charges, and six months on the tampering charge. Lambert was found not guilty of additional charges of attempted robbery and using a mask. The maximum sentence for abduction, a felony, is ten years and a $2,500 fine. The other offenses are misdemeanors with one-year and $2,500 fine maximum sentences each. Sentencing is scheduled for August 5 pending a presentence investigation. Lambert remains incarcerated in the county jail. Check )t Rappahannock Jietos to find out who’s getting married or who has tied the knot in your neighborhood.

The plane was piloted by James Hubbard who was under contract to the Rappahannock Fanner’s Co-op to spray the fields.

►OAP From Page A-l without statistics for Rappahannock. Most measurements are in the form of percentages, and if the number of students being measured is 10 or fewer, the state does not report »the results. Several measurements of minority student achievements were not reported for Rappahannock students because fewer than 10 students belonged to the group being measured. The OAP measures schools for seven objectives: Preparing Students for College, Preparing Students for Work, Increasing the Graduation Rate, Increasing Special Education Students’ Living Skills ; and Opportunities, Educating Elementary School Students, Educating Middle School Students, and Educating Secondary Students. In addition the state provided statistics for each school division on various measurements of the community (see related article). In measurements of preparing students for college, Rappahannock scored above the state average and surrounding communities in the percentage of graduates earning the Advanced Studies Diploma (46), the percentage of 8th grade students taking Algebra I (24), and the percentage of 8th grade students with a composite score on national standardized tests in the top 25 percent (39). Rappahannock students were above the state average and all surrounding counties except Warren in the percentage studying a foreign language before 9th grade (36). The introduction of Spanish at the elementary school several years ago was finally reflected in this statistic Jast year as the first group of students learning Spanish moved up to the high school. Rappahannock students did not measure very high in the percentage of 11th and 12th grade students taking at least one advanced placement or college level class, the percentage taking advanced placement tests Who scored three or higher or the percentage of 11th grade students with a composite score on national standardized tests in the top 25 percent. For the state as a whole 20 percent of 11th and 12th graders take at least one Advanced Placement class. For Rappahannock County in 199192 that figure was 11 percent. Thirty-nine percent of state students who take Advanced Placement tests scored three or higher. For - Rappahannock that figure was 21 percent. Also 39 percent of state 11th graders scored in the top 25 percent on the standardized test, while only 29 percent of Rappahannock students scored that high. " For the past several years the .only advanced placement class open to Rappahannock students has been 'senior AP English. In addition a few ,,of the students studying calculus in 12th grade have taken Advanced Placement tests. Starting next year an 11th grade American History i class will be offered for Advanced !

Located at the Amissville Carnival Grounds, Rt. 211 west of Warrenton with “no continuing education plans who completed a vocational education program.” In Rappahannock 63 percent of such students completed a vocational education program compared to 71 percent for the state. All surrounding counties had higher percentages than the state. On measures of Increasing the Graduation Rate, Rappahannock students scored higher than the state and all surrounding counties in the percentage of 6th graders who passed all three Literacy Passport tests. Last year 72 percent of Rappahannock’s 6th graders passed all three tests, compared to 64 percent for the state as a whole. Since that test was introduced four years ago, Rappahannock students have consistently outperformed students in surrounding counties. However, last year was the first time county students surpassed the state average. These are statewide tests in reading, writing and mathematics. Students are first given the tests in 6th grade and must pass all three sections to advance to 9th grade. Last year the state percentage who passed all three as 6th graders dropped from 72 percent to 64 percent chiefly because a higher standard was used to score the writing test. However, Rappahannock students continued to improve on these tests going from 70 percent who passed all three to 72 percent. Rappahannock students also did better than the state and surrounding counties in the percentage of students in all grades who missed 10 or fewer days of school (81), and the percentage of fourth and eighth grade students scoring above the bottom 25 percent on national standardized tests (89 for 8th grade and 90 for 4th). The county drop-out rate for 7th through 12th grade of four percent was worse than the state and Fauquier County average of three percent. Madison and Page counties also had a four percent drop-out rate and Warren County averaged five percent. The county's minority dropout rate of two percent is the same as for Madison and Page counties and below the state, Culpeper and Fauquier average of five percent. Two more measures the state uses for Increasing the Graduation Rate are the percentage of 4th grade students who are 11 or older and the percentage of 8th grade students who are 15 or older. Research shows that students who are above the usual age for their grade are more likely to drop out than those who are on grade level. Rappahannock had a lower percentage of such students than the state (one percent in 4th grade compared to five percent for the state, and nine percent in 8th grade compared to 10 percent for the state). ►Students From Page A*1 percent or Fauquier County’s three percent. In another measure of local wealth 18 percent of Rappahannock students qualify for free or reduced price school lunches. This is below the state rate of 26 percent, Culpeper’s rate of 32 percent, Madison’s rate of 21 percent, Page’s rate of 24 percent and Warren County’s rate of 20 percent but above the Fauquier County rate of 15 percent. OAP statistics also show that 67 percent of county adults are high school graduates. This is below the state rate of 75 percent and Fauquier County’s rate of 79 percent. It is the same as the rate for Culpeper and higher than Madison’s rate of 63 percent, the Page County rate of 55 percent and the Warren County rate of 65 percent. Rappahannock County has one of the smallest school systems in the state, with 992 students in Average Daily Membership in 1991-92. This is about half the size of Madison County’s school system with 2,883 students and considerably smaller than Page County at 3,428, Warren County at 4,322, Culpeper at 4,918 or F auquier at 8,307. Three counties and five cities have smaller school sytems than Rappahannock. With 379 students Highland County is the state’s smallest school system. With 13 percent of the state’s over one million students Fairfax County has the largest school system in the state and greatly affects every measurement of school performance. The state also provided a measurement of “students’ abilities on entering first grade” as measured by the Cognitive Abilities Test given to first graders in the fall. Forty percent of Rappahannock first graders scored in the lowest 25 percent on at least one of the three sections of the test in 1991. For the state 39 percent met that criterion. The figures for surrounding counties were 45 percent for Culpeper, 26 percent for Fauquier, 46 percent for Madison, 52 percent for Page and 35 percent for Warren. None of Rappahannock’s students in 1991-92 spoke English as a second language. The figures are the same for Page, Madison, Culpeper, and Warren counties and one percent for Fauquier County. For the state as a whole two percent of the students spoke English as a second language. Comparing Paychecks Rappahannock’s Median Adjusted Gross Income is below the statewide figure of $22,037.

Thr Audi! Bureau WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1993 The Right Decision Rappahannock County High School held a prayer-less graduationrecently. Many people, including students, faculty and parents, were disappointed and even angry at a graduation ceremony with no invocation and no benediction. Others felt that a no-prayer graduation was proper because state-sponsored religious worship does not belong in a public institution. Last year the U.S. Supreme Court decided in the case Lee vs. Weisman that prayers at public school functions were in violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. More recently the Court refused to hear a Texas case in which a lower court allowed student-led prayers at graduation, but that case may not apply in all states. Despite their personal feelings, School Superintendent David Gangel and the School Board observed the law as delineated by the U.S. Supreme Court. There were no prayers at graduation. The situation is different in Loudoun County. School officials there have thumbed their noses at the law, and are attempting to hold prayers later this week at graduation. So far they have not been successful, and a judge has issued an injunction barring prayers at the pending ceremonies. In Loudoun, school officials are sending students the message that you can ignore or circumvent laws you don’t like, and that whatever you want, you should have it your way. Rappahannock officials are getting across the message that you should obey and resepct the law, even if it’s unpopular, and that compromise is a fact of life: you don’t always get what you want. We applaud Superintendent Gangel and the School Board. It was a tough call, but they made the right decision. Students may not have had prayers, but they received some lessons in democracy that may, in the long run, be even more valuable.

SPERRYVILLE VFD MEMBERS GOP Is Mainstream To the Editor: Whenever I see vicious, undocumented editorials like “Too Big a Right Turn” printed in your paper (and similar ones in the Washington Post) attacking the Virginia Republican candidates, I have no smile. If George Allen, Mike Farris and Jim Gilmore didn’t have a good chance to win in the election, these ; editors wouldn’t have bothered to attack them. I’m smiling because this means that some journalists are afraid that our Republican candidates are striking a responsive chord with voters. And it’s true. The most recent poll (Richmond tv station WWBT-12) now shows that George Allen has elminated Mary Sue Terry’s lead. They are tied now at 37 percent each with 25 percent undecided. George Allen and the Republican ticket are on their way to a victory in November. George Allen, Mike Farris and Jim Gilmore represent values which mainstream Virginia voters hold. They have presented plans to voters which are earning their respect and support. Part of George Allen’s educational reform plan, which I would like to address, will save Rappahannock taxpayers thousands of dollars and give more control to parents and our local school board. George Allen and Mike Farris want to eliminate or modify costly, time-consuming mandates and regulations which burden our Rappahannock school system. This action will ensure that a minimum amount of our teachers’ time is spent on administrative activities and that more time is actually spent teaching. Modification and repeal will give our local school board more flexibility in spending our local tax dollars for education. Perhaps this is too conservative a proposal for your paper. But it is one important change teachers, parents and taxpayers want for their school system and children. WALTER LONGYEAR Washington North No Winner To the Editor: Oliver North, with millions of dollars of political money behind him, is moving ahead in Virginia politics. He is clearly getting ready to run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Charles S. Robb. Some of the media make the mistake of comparing North’s and Robb’s past legal problems as if they were similar. This is not a defense of Robb - Rappahannock Heritage wmm V Rappahannock News Photo/Cindy Mahan One mishap and the yolk is on you! Samantha Frazier (left) Sara Roszak and Michelle Woodard get ready to catch eggs during the field day at the elementary school. he can take care of himself - but if the people of Virginia begin to believe that the two men’s problems were alike, it could make North’s record look less damaging. Oliver North should not be elected to any position regardless of whom he is running against. If Robb’s critics are 100 percent correct - and remember, he has never been found quilty of anything - his offense was a minor infraction which would have called for a small fine. On the other hand, a jury of regular Americans found Oliver North guilty of three felonies which threatened him with ten years in prison, a $750,000 fine, the loss of his Marine pension and the inability to vote or hold office for the rest of his life. His prosecutors had dropped even more serious charges because they could .not pursue them without using evidence which North’s former colleagues in government had chosen to call military secrets. North’s Washington lawyer found a loophole, based on the conduct of Congress and not on the conduct of North, and had North’s conviction thrown out. Under the protections of our Constitution, it is proper that North should not be punished unless his trial was technically perfect - this does not mean that in judging his qualifications for elective office wre cannot consider his trial and its outcome. bven more important, the most essential part of the structure of our government, which we owe mainly to the genius of James Madison, is the separation of the powers of government among three branches, and the absolute requirement that each branch respect the powers of the others. The founders of our nation believed, correctly, that this was the best, if not the only, way to preserve us from tyrants. It is not too much to say that without this stroke of genius, we would not be the United State of America. Oliver North not only violated this principle repeatedly, he has never repented. He has gone around the country bragging about his conduct and collecting more than $20 million from people who don’t know any better. North is injecting himself and his money into the workings of the Virginia Republican Party and the 1993 elections for statewide office and the House of Delegates. We need a strong democratic Republican Party and a politics based firmly on the Constitution. It would be a catastrophe to have James Madison’s Virginia fall under the influence of Oliver North. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON FUnt Hill Day Has Complaints To the Editor: I have contributed several items to the paper under the heading Day By Day. Shortly after your assumption of the position of Editor we talked about it first. I asked at that time that if you felt something that I submitted needed changing that we should discuss it first. I further stated that if these terms were not acceptable then you should not print the work at all! If your paper were paying me for my work you might be able to claim the right to change it. As long as you do not pay for it I reserve the right to make the terms. In the issue just out, Wed. June 16, you have printed my article, “The Pursuit of Happiness.” You have elminated the byline heading and you have made some serious changes. You have added words and you have elminated the ending. But worst of all where I carefully chose the “having recovered from a killing addiction and like others who have gone the distance-” You have, without any right, without any knowledge, without any aforethought changed this to read “-having recovered from a killing addiction-alcoholand like others-” Why did you decide that I meant “alcohol” How dare you? I want that you should explain this! I want this letter printed in the next issue as well as your explanation. WALTER DAY Flint Hill (Editor’s note: Except for advertising, all items appearing in the Rappahannock News may be edited for arammar, readability, clarity and brevity.) Vote Poses Query To the Editor: I am a bit confused - in the course of two public hearings the Virignia Department of Health, Water Control Board, Farmers Association and the public unaminously supported the use of sludge as fertilizer and then the Board of Supervisors voted against it? Just exactly who do they represent? This vote certainly raises some unpleasant questions. To Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Irwin - your tourists are also not going to like the smell of poultry, hogs, cattle, horses, kennels. Most visitors do not know one from another, do you want them all gone too? Secondly, your business interests do not outweigh mine or farmings’. Last week’s editorial smacks of irresponsible joumalisn as all the research to date has shown sludge to be safe. Those of us attending the hearings had done our homework, did you? Again I ask the Board, who are you representing? Something stinks in this county - but its not sludge! JENNIFER L. ALEXANDER Flint Hill New Board Needed To the Editor: This letter refers to the public hearings \jagf County had on the issue of sluSgj^eing approved for use on farm land in Rappahannock, In May 1993 representatives from the Department of Health and the Water Control Board, together with Bio Gro Systems (the firm that applies sludge on farm land) attended the Board of Supervisors meeting and attempted to educate the Board on sludge and its application. It was clear that the minds of the members of the Board of Supervisors were made up from the start. Supervisors Ellis Bingham was not present at this first hearing but was present at the June meeting and acted like he was still working for the government - he did what he was told to do. Mr. Bingham stated (and I quote from the Rappahannock News): “According to the experts, sludge represents less of a threat than artificial fertilizers...I think we should listen to the experts and give the farmers a break.” However, when he voted, Mr. Bingham said he would go along “with the group.” Jackson District does not have a supervisor - just someone who does what he is told to do. At the June meeting the hearing was opened for three people to speak, none of whom had any credentials regarding sludge. Obviously there is no point in having a public hearing when you are living in a Communist county - the majority is unheard. I belieVe it is time to get a new Board of Supervisors, a Board that represents more than just the three people who spoke out against sludge. I belieye that ignorance of agriculture in a rural community is no excuse. I would like to thank Mr. Gilkey for his support and further thank the educated citizens of Rappahannock County for not protesting the use of sludge in Rappahannock. JOHN HARRISON POWERS Flint Hill Recycle Sludge To the Editor: How can you call the ban on recycling sludge “a victory for the environment?” It is just the opposite. The notion of recycling lies at the . very core of environmental stewardship. While many by-products of human consumption are difficult to recycle, sludge is not one of them. The Japanese have eiyoyed the benefits of “night soil” on their fields for thousands of years. Yes, there are contaminants in modern sewage that must be guarded against; but current technology and existing regulations make such oversight easy to achieve. The dangers of chemical fertilizer runoff, on the other hand, are clear and present. We need only look dowhstream to the dying Chesapeake, whose waters have been robbed of oxygen by chemical fertilizers applied in, among other places, Rappahannock County. Now our farmers are offering to take the sludge disposal problem off society’s hands and turn it into a wholesome, soil-building agricultural asset. What is our response? No, we dare not offend the tender nostrils of a few passing tourists - peo pie who don’t even live here. And in the name of The Environment, no less! No wonder many farmers think environmentalism is hogwash. Industry, that handy punching ' bag for armchair environmentalists, has addressed itself to the difficult challenge of recycling complex materials such as plastics. In Germany, auto parts are assiduously coded and stamped so that an entire automobile can be recycled when it’s time is up. What must these pioneers think of us, a people living in the midst of thousands of acres of pasture land, who can’t even recycle their own poop? SCOTT MCBRIDE Bluemont Sends Thanks To the Editor: Our first season of Bluemont Oldtime Country Dances ended this past month, and we were well pleased with the successes of our first year.

Health Care Reform Needed By JOHN LEKANDER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The health care reform issue is now mired in discussions that are wavering far from the objectives of true health care reform. Leaders in health care reform must remain frimly targeted on their main goal. It is important not to tamper with the impetus that has brought us our medical technology envied throughout the planet. The goals must provide: that first, all citizens own individual health insurance policies (total inclusion), second, a single payer mechanism and third, to control spiraling medical inflation, sone type of managed competition. To enjoy the privilege of partaking in the benfits of our nation’s health care system, which receives close to 50 percent federal subsidization, each individual should be required to purchase a health insurance policy. This requirement could be analogous to the fees and licensing that are required before we are allowed to operate a motor vehicle on our nation’s highways. While providing total inclusion, this step strives to ensure that all citezens share equally in health care and do hot burden society. Also, it is clear that when a person owns a product, as opposed to having the product appear free, they take better care of it, or in this case, individual ownership of health care would promote prudent use of benefits. Total inclusion would create a myriad of solutions to our health care challenge. Everyone would own an identical policy, provided by the carrier of their choice. Pre-existing conditions would no longer be a concern with constant coverage, which also would eliminate the confusion that exists today when one changes his status, i.e., employed-unemployed-retired, etc. Since all policies would be identical, the ambiguous language that allows unscrupulous insurance companies to sell bogus policies would be eliminated. A reduction of adminstrative costs, which total nearly 25 percent of our national nealtn care bill, would result, leaving more health care dollars to serve the true medical need. Many caregivers and institutions must charge more for providing services to those who can afford payment or who have coverage to balance those who cannot or will not seek coverage. Total inclusion would eliminate this expensive cost shifting, saving billions of dollars annually. Since the individual would be purchasing his own coverage, the employer would now be free of the burden of providing personnel to oversee employee health benefits, thereby increasing productivity. It would prevent employer discrimination based on an applicant’s health history. Indigent people receiving government assistance often must resort to sporadic health care through an emergency room at f<Mir times the normal cost. Now, witRfjfull coverage, everyone could seek preventive health care though their own family physician, which would provide continuity of care. Care provided by a family physician can often promote better health care habits, a factor which within itself, could save $100 billion annually. Total inclusion created by each individual purchasing health care coverage would allow the insurance companies to be the single payer muchanism. In terms of payments, paperwork, etc, everyone would appear identical. This second crucial step of health care reform would eliminate the redundant and cumbershome system in which several different organizations screen treatments. Following this, a confusing payment system results, leaving caregivers and patients vacillating over payment sources. A single payer typically refers to the government as being the payer. Under a system run by the government, if the bureaucracy offers poor service due to a cumbersome or outof-money system, regardless of the good intentions of the individual bureaucrats, patient alternatives are virtually nonexistent. Although insurance companies have been known to offer poor service, a system in which individuals can choose their insurance carrier will provide motivation for that company to keep that customer satisfied and allow the dissatisfied customer the option of choosing another carrier. Unfortunately, since there is only one government, this option would not be available in a government run system. Those who are considered indigent as well as those who receive benefits through social security, would continue to be eligible for subsidized health care. This subsidy would reach the caregiver through the insurance company chosen by the individual and would be flexible, covering only the individual’s healthinsurance-premium-shortfall, thus leaving the single payer intact and reducing costs. To control spiraling health-careinflation, we must further develop managed competition in a way that allows the HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) to serve the needs of the patient while at the same time seeking cost effective caregivers to meet the insurance companies’ fiscal needs. This could be accomplished by making participation in a group (HMO) an option, thus making it necessary for the HMO to offer convenient service to the patient to stay in business. The federal government is already involved in our national health care to the tune of nearly $400 billion annually, yet over 30 million people receive no coverage. Medicare and Medicaid consumed nearly $190 billion in 1992 while sporadically serving approximately 60 million people, most of whom depended on other private insurance to maintain sufficent coverage. Elementary math indicates how inefficient these programs truly must be. Under a plan offering total inclusion, through private sector insurance, everyone would have full coverage at a cost much lower than the cumbersome public assistance programs of today. Most importantly, it would offer continuity of care. Senator Moynihan said recently that Medicare will be the target of further budget reductions. How can health care reformers possibly be considering a plan that calls for increasing the financial involvement of government in health care when we are now being forced to cut the programs already in existence, especially in view of our huge national deficit? Baccalaureate: Two Views To the Editor: As Baccalaureate approached a few weeks ago, I looked forward to the spiritual symbolism of the candlelight ceremony, and I looked forward to seeing my friends and their families. I also looked foreward to what I hoped would be a meaningful, appropriate, and inspirational speech by by former science teacher, Reverend Thomas Von Fange. I was sorely disappointed. I felt the speech was severely inappropriate. I was deeply offended by it. He began his speech with the statement that the ACLU was “the new four-letter word in (his) dictionary,” and that this organization was trying to suppress our first amendment rights. I know the American Civil Liberties Union as an organization that works for fairness, equality and justice in our society. I was offended by Rev. Von Fange’s reference to homosexuality as perversion, and by the implications that homosexuality and support of gay rights are wrong. Early parts of the speech appeared to support religious freedom, something along the lines of: “All people have the right to worship at Baccalaureate in their own way, whether it be Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or any other way.” This was contradicted later when the Reverend supported the condemning of new age religion, and repeatedly stated and implied that the Christian Bible is the one and only true word of God. I was truly disappointed by the Reverend’s presentation because I was expecting it to be a relevant part of a unifying spiritual ceremony. It was not appropriate to attack the ACLU or homosexuality. It was not the place to impose Christianity on non-Christians, and it was not the place to make a politicial statement. BRYAN CLARK Amissville An Answer To the Editor: Attendance at this Bible Club sponsored Baccalaureate was strictly voluntary. The message was well received and delivered in a very positive manner. Since you (Bryan) claim to be Agnostic, I can only say that you were at the wrong party. TOM VON RANGE Woodville the titeie machine .

Statehouse Race No Sure Bet By JOHN GOOLRICK Some of the pundits are saying that the statewide Democratic ticket of 1993 is a surefire winner; that Mary Sue Terry, Don Beyer and Bill Dolan are as good as elected. When I read or hear such assertions I recall the recently concluded state Republican convention, a two-day event at which I saw at various times Wyatt Durrette, John Chichester and Buster O’Brien. What’s that got to do with the price of eggs, you ask? Well, in 1985 it was conventional wisdom among the pundits that a GOP ticket consisting of Durrette, Chichester and O’Brien in that order for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general was a can’tmiss proposition. Indeed, that very ticket was nominated. Durrette was expected to beat Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gerald Baliles, who was regarded as a person of little charisma; Chichester was quoted as a 100-1 favorite to beat Douglas Wilder by noted analyst Larry Sabato; and it was felt O’Brien’s infectious smile and winning personality would carry the day against little-known House of Delegtes member Mary Sue Terry. The pundits ate crow, of course, when Baliles, Wilder and Terry won that November and solidly reestablished Democrats in charge of Virginia’s government. With nearly five months to go before the balloting I think it premature, therefore, to suggest the election has been decided. After all, a survey taken by a Richmond television station very recently showed the gubernatorial race a virtual dead-heat, something that is astonishing if true; since Republican George Allen must still struggle for name identity against Ms. Terry, who served nearly eight years as the state attorney general. Many Republicans believe, rightly or wrongly, that a pro-Democrat mentality on the part of media covering the election is responsible for a wishful thinking attitude on the part of the media that things are already settled. Having been a political reporter for nearly 30 years, my observation was that most of my colleagues probably voted Democratic, but basically tried to be fair in their news coverage. Besides that, you can take it from me that members of the press could never organize themselves well enough to carry on a conspiracy. We had trouble organizing the annual General Assembly farewell party. Virginia Through Both Barrels L Yet if the media wants to go the extra mile to assure a widespread perception of its fairness in cover- ; ing the 1993 races, it will have to work harder than ever. I > < It will not be enough, for instance, to continually characterize the Republican ticket as ultra-conservative and the Democratic ticket as moderate. It must honestly and effectively let the candidates on both t tickets state their views and let the voters of the , state apply their own labels. For the first time there will be a candidate on the ; ticket whose base rests with hundreds of thousands • of residents who closely identify with a religious movement. Is the media simply going to be content to brand those people as single-issue extemists, or will it take the trouble to go talk to some of them about whatever their concerns about government might be? This is not going to be an easy year to be a politi- , cal reporter in Virginia if you want to follow in the footsteps of such illustrasious predecessors as Jim * Latimer, Mel Carico, George Kelly, John Daffron and others and be widely regarded as fair, impartial and.; willing to ask the tough questions and demand answers. Will the Virginia media hone in on Democrats as well as Republicans, will it investigate questions and rumors regarding character and conduct, will it scru- ;v pulously attempt to answer the bottom line question of what kind of government the various candidates want for Virginia? .<• I think by and large it will, yet I am troubled by the assumption on the part of some members of the working press that the race-ks-fflready over and there is no need to dig deep. The voters, after all, are looking for journalism, not fortune-telling. (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herb Bateman.

Mangles and Manglers By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Contributing Writer To mangle something, says Webster’s, is “to spoil, injure, or make incoherent.” Sad to say, many professional newsrooms have their manglers, and some of them write for The Associated Press. The AP filed a story out of Charlotte, N.C., about a man who owned four rottweilers. A woman was responsible for keeping the dogs locked up. The dogs escaped and mauled a 4-year-old girl. Reported the AP: “If Ms. Hunter and Brown agree to relinquish ownership of the dogs, they will be euthanized after a 10-day observation period.” Pretty tough, I would say, on Hunter anil Brown. The AP’s bureau in Stockholm filed a story in February: “Air piracy charges were filed Sunday against a man who used grenades to hijack a Russian airliner and his wife.” Pretty tough on the wife. From Los Angeles, the AP reported that pop megastar Michael Jackson suffers from a skin disorder that destroys his skim pigmentation. "He insisted he had ‘very little’ plastic surgery during a live television interview with Oprah Winfrey on Wednesday.” Seems a strange time and place for plastic surgery, but you never know what to expect from Oprah Winfrey. The AP’s man in Bartlett Cove, Alaska, had a problem with a sentence in Novemeber. His mangle was a dangle: “Entering the bay from Icy Strait, the mountains are covered with lush forests of spruce and hemlock.” When the AP reports that mountains enter bays, the AP is on to a highly readable story. The mangle of the month for May came from the AP bureau in Austin, Texas: “A man who confronted a stranger in her home with a knife and claimed she consented to sex because she asked him to wear a con dom was convicted Thursday of rape, drawing cheers in the courtroom.” Give that correspondent the cut glass flyswatter! The award for May is richly deserved. Last month the AP’s Miami bureau covered the Coast Guard’s seizure of a ship, registered in St. Vincent, that was bound for Mexico. “The Ship was seized for smuggling with the permission of the govemement of St. Vincent.” Pretty generous government is St. Vincent. This next item came several years ago from the AP bureau in Fort Lauderdale. The feature story dealt with cruise ships: “A wedding aboard a luxurious cruise boat can run from $3,000 to $20,000, if someone wants to go overboard.” Pretty exciting wedding, that one. In April the AP Bureau in Norfolk, Va., began a story in this mystifying fashion: “A woman who chased down and recovered her husband’s stolen car says the experience left her with dueling emotions.” Way to go! She wanted to fight the thieves. Bring out sabers for two. I shouldn’t pick on the dear old Associated Press. Its correspondents file a million words a day, more or less, and newspapers couldn’t live without the AP’s wire report. Nobody’s perfect. Lot of others foul up. Several citations have come in that involve “Areas.” The Miami Herald filed a story from Washington about sexual assaults on Capital Hill. Devon Anderson, who works for Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, ahd a complaint: A male lobbyist who visited Levin’s office “felt free to pinch her buttocks in the reception area.” Careful writers would never have written these mangled sentences. Trouble is, too many writers aren’t careful enough. The Writer's Art. C1993 Universal Features Syndicate.

Among these was landscaping the area immediately in front of the new Library building with boxwood, juniper and Vinca minor. A continuing project is caring for the plants around the courthouse and the Historical Society building. A new' undertaking which will be enjoyed by the public in future years is furnishing seed and planning w’ith the Virginia Department of Transportation for planting flowers in sections of the median of U.S. 211.

The theme for this year’s summer reading program is “Peer Amid Books...Read.” Children of all ages, independent readers and “read to me” readers, are invited to participate. The programs will begin at 10 a.m. on June 30 and continue every Wednesday until August 18. At the first program of the series, musican Lorranie Duisit Espinola will accompany herself on the harp, mandolin, and bowed psalter while performing new music for new nursery rhymes. She has set rhymes from Clyde and Wendy Watson’s book “Catch me and kiss me and say it again” to music. Once again, the reading program participants have a chance to earn money for the library while they read and have fun. The Rappahannock National Bank has pledged up to $1,000 based on the number of books read as a part of the summer reading program. The library needs everyone’s help to make sure the goal is reached. It promises to be a fun filled summer with performances by Puppets by Pizzazz, Kevin the Magician, Josh-N-Collins and Friends, Dancing with Dolphins, musician Eve Watters (sponsored by F & M - Winchester, Flint Hill Office), storyteller Mike Dunnigan, and Blue Sky Pullet Theatre. All library programs are free and open to the public.

►Library From Page A-1 Other members noted that both the county auditor and the state library board had been told that the stocks had been sold. Early this year the Library Board following the advice of its finance committee decided to divide library investments into two endowment funds, one intended to earn income for library operation and the other invested for growth over time. The Library Board bought treasury bonds with the funds earmarked for income. $21,500 of the funds to be invested for long-term growth have come from the estate of Ann Phelps Lane, who died in October 1991. This money is invested in a savings account at the Rappahannock National Bank. The Library Board expects to receive more funds from that estate when it is settled. The stock proceeds were to be added to this fund. At last Wednesday’s meeting member Frank Warner said that the experience should benefit the board by forcing the board to engage in “self-analysis." He suggested that board needs to follow up on decisions to see that they are carried out. “If we followed the by-laws closely, this would not happen,” he said. “The treasurer has the responsibility to make sure she carries out the directions of the board, and if a complication arises to discuss it.” Mrs. Jamieson said the decision to sell the stocks had been taken “hastily.” She suggested the board vote to rescind its February decision. John McCarthy said he had not acted “hastily, in the heat of the moment.” He said that he did not care whether the stocks had increased or decreased in value. “I wasn’t informed that the action we ordered was not carried out," he said. “Who runs the board, the board or individual members who think the board acted unwisely?” Members Steve Slater and William Young agreed that the board should have had been told that the stocks were not sold. After Mrs. Jamieson left, the board voted unanimously to sell the stock by the end of June and put the proceeds from the sale into the board’s savings account. Dr. Young noted that the savings account is safe but does not give much income. “We’re just parking the money until the final settlement of the Lane estate,” Mr. McCarthy said. After two special meetings in June the board decided not to have its regular June meeting. The next meeting will be Thursday July 22. ►Budget From Page A-l “They don't get the hell we get either," Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkev said. “1 could do without the $100 per month,” Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said. “But I don’t think anybody should have to spend money to serve on the board." He also suggested that funds for health insurance remain in the budget. Generally the members don’t take the available health insurance and those funds are returned to the treasury. “I don’t use it now, but I might need it in the future,” he said. “In the future we might get voted out for raising taxes,” Mr. Massie said. The cut on the Planning Commission budget was for contracting for a study of the Amissville area. “We can get started ourselves without hiring that consultant,” Mr. Massie said. Having failed to get the budget cut enough to reduce the real estate tax rate, Mr. Massie suggested reducing the personal property tax rate by 20 cents. Other members noted that Rappahannock’s personal property tax rate is lower than surrounding counties. Mr. McCarthy said reducing the personal property tax rate by 20 cents would reduce revenues by $42,000, more than the cuts in the budget. The budget as proposed would have generated about $370,000 less revenue than proposed expenditures. With the spending cuts that deficit will be smaller. Some of the expenses, most notably $270,000 for closing the current landfill cell, are for costs that will not recur in future years. Following the discussion the board approved the appropriations, budget and tax rates unanimously. Get Ready To March! Get ready for the parade at 4:30 p.m. on July 4 in Washington. All children ages 5 to 15 are invited to decorate their bicycles and ride through the streets of Washington. Prizes will be awarded for several age groups. County Veterans Reap VA Money Veterans in Rappahannock County received estimated total expenditures of $610,000 in benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) during fiscal year 1992, reported the Roanoke VA regional office. Most of the VA money, $553,000, went directly to Rappahannock veterans for compensation and pension. The rest was used for education and vocational rehabilitation and insurance idemnities. Statewide, Virginia veterans directly received more than half of the $863 million VA expenditures in Virginia during fiscal year 1991, said Regional Office Acting Director Steward Liff. “Virginia veterans received almost $487 million as compensation and pension for disabling injuries and diseased incurred while in the armed forces,” said Liff. “They also received $17.5 million for education and vocational rehabilitation benefits.” He added that $51 million for insurance and indemnity payments, $3.3 million for facility construction, and $305 million for medical services and adminstrative costs were expended in Virginia. Teen Football Registration Opens Registration has begun for the newly organized Skyline Travel Football League. The program is open to boys and girls 12-15 years old. Initial registration will be 9 a.m. to noon at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Saturday, June 26. Additional registration dates will be scheduled for July. About 35 young people have already expressed interest in the league. The Rappahannock team will compete against teams from Warrenton, southern Fauquier County and Culpeper. “Our purpose is to provide a quality recreational youth sports program for the young men and women of our communities,” said Robert McKinley, a founder and president of the league. “Our main problem is that we need coaches,” he continued. “We' ensure that only persons of high moral character who have the ability to teach young people are approved as coaches. All game officials must be certified high school officials,” he added. The maximum weight for ages 12-14 is 160 pounds, and for age 15, 140 pounds. Cost of registraton is $50 which goes to help maintain equipment and pay game officials. The initial cost for safety and game equipment for a 25-person team is about $6,000, with an annual upkeep cost of $350. Additional costs for field equipment, liabilty insurance, and game officials are approximately $2,000 per team. “We need the support of community businesses to provide us with funds, goods and some of their time and buildings where the team can hold meetings or store equipment,” said McKinley. For additonal information call McKinley at his office at (703) 4713247 or residence at (703) 349-3079. A Social Security Primer By BRUCE A. HUNDLEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Social Security touches the life of every American. You’re probably either paying taxes, receiving benefits, (some do both), or you’re related to someone who is. Because the program is so comprehensive, it’s difficult to summarize in a short space. But I’m going to try! Getting a Social Security number is usually your first contact with us. Today, even most babies have Social Security numbers because parents must list the number on their tax return to claim their children as depen I IT'S KOONS OF MANASSAS' 39TH BIRTHDAY SELLABRATION!

Always use the proper Social Security number because all the benefits you’ll receive from Social Security depend on the earnings and other information recorded under that number. As you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn “credits” that count towards eligibility for future Social Security benefits. The maximum that can be earned each year is four credits and most people need 40 credits (10 years of work) to qualify for benefits. Younger people need fewer credits to qualify for disability or survivors benefits. When you’re eligible for Social Security, you receive a benefit that represents a percentage of your earnings averaged over most of your working lifetime. (It’s about 42 percent for people with average wages.) Social Security was never intended to be your only source of income when you retire or become disabled, or your family’s only income when you die. There are five major categories of benefits paid for through your Social Security taxes. They are: 1. Retirement benefits payable at age 65 with reduced benefits available as early as 62. 2. Disability benefits payable at any age to people who have a severe physical or mental impairment that is expected to prevent them from doing “substantial” work for a year or more - or who have a condition that is expected to result in death. 3. Benefits for the eligible spouse and children of people getting retire* ment or disability benefits. 4. Benefits for certain members of your family when you die. 5. Medicare benefits for people age 65 and older and for people who have been getting disability benefits for two years. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is another program administered by Social Security - but it is not paid for by Social Security taxes. SSI makes monthly payments to people who have a low income and few assets. To get SSI, you must be 65 or older or be disabled. Generally;, people who get SSI also qualify for Medicaid, food stamps, and other help. To file for benefits or to get information, call Social Security’s tollfree number, 1-800-772-1213, business days between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (Editor's note: Bruce Hundley is the manager of the Social Security office in Culpeper, which serves Rappahannock,County residents.) Woman's Club Officers Elected: Members of the Rappahannock Woman’s Club held their annual installation dinner on Tuesday, May 25 at The Flint Hill Public House. Officers for the upcoming year are Marie Davis, President; Barbara C. Wayland, Vice-President; Helen W. Smith, Treasurer; Debbie Massie, Secretary and Karen B. Foster, Social Chairperson. There will not be a meeting during the summer months. The next meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 27. Holiday Closings The following offices will be closed Monday, July 5 in observance of Independence Day: The Health Department, Social Services and Family Guidance. Also closed will be the Rappahannock National Bank and F & M Bank. % All county offices and area post offices will be closed. Rappahannock Library will be closed as well.

The Horse Is the Course At Mt. Spring Stable “We teach total equine management and riding skills in our summer riding camp,” said Dafna Laurie, manager and instructor of the Mountain Spring Stable on Route 620 in Sperryville. Riding is emphasized, but “students learn it all, from how to catch the horse in the field to grooming horses and cleaning up tack and stalls,” she added. The stable is holding three separate five-day camps this summer for children age 7-15. All riding levels are accepted, from beginners through experts. Students can bring their own horse. A limited number of horses are available at the stable. Horses Teach Leadership ByJ.W. KISER III Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Not so long ago, practicing the art of horsemanship was considered a prerequisite for leadership. It is easy to understand why. Leadership, like horsemanship, requires setting a direction and then getting there. Leadership is persuading others to go along when they are reluctant. Whether employees of a business, members of Congress or troops in the field, when they don’t want to follow the program, the leader has lost control. And control is the rider’s mantra. A rider on a rebellious horse is like a ship’s captain with a mutinous crew. This bigger, more powerful creature can only be controlled through competence. Competence is the handmaiden of control. Control, discipline, psychology, bonding between man and beast are the key ingredients of horsemanship. And like a good business leader, a good rider can take over any horse and get it under control. Let’s first talk about horse psychology which is a close approximation to human psychology. There are two aspects, PM and AM: premounting and after mounting. PM. Horses understand bread and butter issues. They have a definite “what’s in it for me” orientation. If they haven’t had a carrot for a while, they don’t come rushing. As with business or politics, it’s necessary to constantly remind the equine customer of the good things you have been doing lately. Otherwise, out of sight is out of mind. Understanding this undog-like fidelity is crucial for horses kept in pastures - that is “free” horses, living democratically, not incarcerated in those prisons called stalls. Affection is best assured by the horse knowing the hand that feeds. Pastured horses don’t otherwise run up and say “ride me.” Feed, like a good paycheck, can be more reliable than simple affection. Bonding with the beast in important to get that essential quality, “responsiveness.” Though materialistic, horses do have an emotional, perhaps even spiritual side, but it needs cultivation, horses are social. They like company, and bond best with good communicators. Horse communication is partly a matter of being around, not unlike “management by walking around,” the hot new concept of the 1980s that any good horseman could have told the professors. And as with horses, so too people: the best form is talking, plain old face-to-face communication. Horses like gentle noises and “stroking,” the latter now a recognized management tool. Cooing, that-agirls, that-a-boys, patting, are multipurpose signals that say: I’m here, I love you, be nice, don’t hurt me. Grooming is a horse’s “toilette.”It is also part of the bonding process that builds team spirit, like Friday afternoon beer parties. This is designed to help get on the horse, remembering that if it changes its mind, and rider has a problem. These confidence building measures all serve the ultima ratio, control. And don’t sneak up on a horse. They like advance warning. Horses have been provided by nature with an ingrained fright syndrome when confronted with the unexpected, no doubt relecting the same experience with surprises as people have - they are usually bad. Good leaders don’t spring surprises on their followers, but float trial balloons, build support, and avoid loud sudden noises. Horses like quiet, self assured movement, and please, no surprises. The other big issue in horse psychology is controlling fear, especially one’s own. Horses detect fear and will take advantage of the unconfident rider. “Lead, follow or get out of the way” could be the horse’s motto. Showing self confidence in the stall, where a horse can crush a hapless innocent, is the first step in controlling fear. Vigorous brushing, hoof cleaning, chatter, manipulating the beast around in this intimate setting is saying to the beast “You may be bigger than me, but I’m not afraid.” AM. Once on the horse, the next question it asks is “Who’s in charge here?” Horses have an uncanny sense about this. They can tell just from the manner in which a rider’s gluteus maximus lands in the saddle. A big splat tells the horse that its options are open. They know the rider is a novice, and a spirited house will always put its rider to the test, the way school kids do new teachers. This is not usually matter of maliciousness. Horses just have their own agenda. Being sensible creatures, they would much prefer to chomp grass, smell the roses or go back to the barn where it’s cool. The thinking man’s horse is reflecting. “If your going to take up my time and make me work-show me you know what you’re doing.” What separates the men from the mice, from the horse’s point of view, is “operations,” or going cross country. All kinds of things can happen. The beast gets frightened by something strange and unusual, like a tire or an old refrigerator. It can flinch suddenly, not sure if the object is a threat to its existence. The rider must not panic too, but stay calm and cool. Staying calm under pressure is a prerequisite for good leadership and, of course, good horsemanship. Never panic, it’s catching. And another thing. Horses need coaxing when asked to do something they don’t do often, or just don’t want to do, such as jump a fence, wade a rushing stream, go down a vertiginous slope. The big beasts can get as stubborn as a mule. This is where the rider gets tested, because mister nice guy often doesn’t work. A decisive whack, a kick, a coo, a caress — these carrots and sticks, so to speak, and their proper adminstration - is the essence of the fine art of horsemanship. But there is a rub. Horses have all read Friedrich Nietzsche. They know that the essence of character is will. In the end a horse is testing the rider’s determination, Ergo, don’t quit. Be patiently committed to making the horse perform, winning the cause through calm persistence. If the rider gives up, the horse has won. ■ This is where bonding pays off. Doing that extra bit is the reward for treating a horse right. The more trust and confidence a horse has in its rider, the more performance. But performance has to be asked, since horses don’t jump five-foot fences for the fun of it, any more than taxpayers willingly dig into their pockets. With horses you get what you ask and you get what you give, but mostly you want respect. ’Roundabout Movie this weekend “Passion Fish” will be the movie at The Theatre in Washington at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 27. John Sayles critically acclaimed drama of two women (Mary McDonnel and Alfre Woodard) thrown together by a random calamity who form a healing, life affirming friendship that opens a whole new world of possiblities for both of them. A combination of Fried Green Tomatoes and Driving Miss Daisy! Program plans underway The fourth of July program for the afternoon of the 4th is being planned. If you have an appropriate presentation for this program, please contact Ellen Manson at 675-1349. Environment Theme of Fair The Piedmont Environmental Council will host its second annual Family Fair from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Monday, July 5, at the Airlie Conference Center, Warrenton. The fair will offer a new series of programs focussing on environmental issues. It includes award winning nature films and guests speakers on different issues ranging from historic preservation to Virginia’s endangered wildlife, from ozone to the rain forest and the Shenandoah National Park. Events will include a petting zoo of exotic and domestic animals, draft horse and mule rides, face painting, two puppet shows, a fencing demonstration, sheep dog demonstrations, vintage cars and the PEC student environmental art contest. Of special interest will be an exhibit of vintage airplanes, including a rare, fully restored, awardwinning 1918 Curtis Jenny, recently featured in a National Geographic special. Beside the Curtis Model JN4-D, there will be an OT W Myers WWII Trainer bi-plane, a Super Piper Cub from the 1950s, a 1933 Aeronca C III open cockpit sport plane, a Fairchild PT19 WWII trainer and a 1947 Luscomb sedan. A talk, demonstration, and film will show how an ultra light aircraft is used to guide migrating Canada geese from Airlie to Canada and back. There will be music all day by strolling musican Ray Owen, and the Southfork Bluegrass Boys. Admission is $6 per car which includes one free raffle ticket. i The camp focuses on riding skills, emphasizing the English saddle balanced seat method. Instruction is individualized depending on the background, experience and interests of the students. Everybody receives basic instruction in the fundamentals of horse management, including catching, feeding, grooming, and cleaning. A horse shoeing demonstration by farrier Scott Keyser interests many of the students. Advanced students can study jumping, bareback riding, and other subjects. The highlight of the week for many students occurs on the last day when the riders exhibit their newly acquired skills in a horse show. On hot days horses and student keep their cool by holding lessons in the covered indoor ring. A swim break (for the riders) also helps beat the heat. The next camp session will be July 13-17 and August 10-14. Classes are held 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Horse boarding is available. For additonal information call 987-9545.

The ancient capital of Tyrol, Innsbruck will charm you with the many splendid architectural reminders of its past and the warmth of its people. Scenically situated in the valley of the River inn, Innsbruck is hounded on all sides by the towering peaks of the snow capped mountains of the Kastern Alps. The 800 year old city, which owes its name to the first bridge built across the river in the 12th century, acted as host to the Winter Olympic Carnes in 1964 and 1976. The bustling city assumed importance because of its strategic location on the trade route from Italy to the Cermanic countries. This route, which crossed the fabled Brenner Pass, insured Innsbruck’s continued survival throughout the centuries. The city’s Wilten quarter was used as an intermediate stop on the highway by the Roman legion* during the early rcnluriee A.I). By the year 1000, a briakly traveled highway e«ietod in the aiU> now occupied hy the city. Wagon*, laden with merchant'* good*, rolled through the gates of the medieval town and provided the commerce of the day. After becoming ike capital of Tyrol, Innsbruck reached a peak of building and beautification by the 16th century during the reign of the llapshurg Kmperor Maximilian I and continued under the Empress Maria Theresa. Evidence that the city has retained its medieval grandeur is apparent throughout many of Innsbruck's points of interest. The Imperial Palace is one of Innsbruck's most important sights, Originally built in the 1400's, it was damaged over time by earthquake and fire. Empress Maria Theresa ordered the palace to be built anew on a magnificent scale. Completed in 1777, it houses Maria Theresa's ancestral portrait gallery ami include* a magnificent giant hall in rococo atyle with splendid ornamentation and ceiling freacoea. Another inlerealing Might, which ia located in the Old Town, ia the Golden Itoof — a late Gothic oriel with 2,657 gold plated tilea. Constructed around 1500, during Kmperor Maximilian I'a reign, it waa uacd aa a royal hox to view event* held in the city square below. Impreaaive frescoes ami reliefs decorate the bay and interior of the box scat. After a very brief time you'll ace that Innabruckrra live right in the midat of their incredible history. Coffee houses and wine cellar* are scattered among Baroque churches and frescoed palace*. Arcnded street* and cobbled passages offer countless shops with traditional Tyrolean handicraft* made in the surrounding countryside. You'll experience its warmth and beauty as you take part in the simple pleasures offered by this historic city: take a stroll along the lliver Inn ns it winds it* way throughout the city; enjoy delectable AuMrinn pastries with a cup of coffee in a Hide walk cafe; or try a traditional Tyrolean apecialty at one of the old inna which firit opened ita doora aeveral centuries ago.
