Teachers Cope with Missed School Time By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Teachers at the county schools are developing a variety of strategies for coping with missed school days. Twenty-two days have been missed from school so far this year. Ten are scheduled to be made up in a one-day instead of six-day spring vacation and an extra week of school in June. The school system has not made a final decision on the other 12 days, but last week the School Board decided to see how many the state would allow them to drop based on having a longer school day than the minimum. Many elementary school teachers said when the missed days began piling up they started sending notes home outlining the work they hoped to accomplish. They said parents have been very cooperative in seeing that the children do some school work during days missed. Kindergarten teacher Sherry Marquand said in kindergarten time is most important in the first half of the year when the children to get “adjusted” to school “and we had that.” She and Geraldine Payne said they feel the children are actually ahead of former classes in math and credit the center-based instruction for helping with that. They said they have encouraged parents to help their children with reading and learning “the letter of the week.” Marti Cannon, another kindergarten teacher, said, “We’re asking for a lot of reinforcement at home. The parents realize the children have missed a lot.” Physical education teacher Carol Nowakowski said that she probably won’t have time to teach tumbling to her upper grade classes. She said she had given a month to teaching hockey and only gotten in four classes. In addition, with most students only having physical education one day a week, “There are some I haven’t seen in a month.” That is especially true for those who have PE on Wednesdays. She said with warmer weather coming, she will have to move ahead to working on physical fitness tests so the children can finish the mile run before it gets too hot. She said she will decide what else to try to cover later in the year, “but I’m not going to just skim over something.” Mary Horvak, who teacher handicapped children, said, “I teach kids individually, so I just have to go with where they are, rather than where I expect them to be.” She said with the lack of continuity of instruction sometimes it seems like they are taking “three steps forward and two back.” Teachers’ aide Janet. Smoot teaches art. She said the children finished their Valentine projects in March, but didn’t mind very much. “I planned on teaching drawing skills in January and February, and that went out the window,” she said. She hasn’t decided whether or not to start on an Easter project. Lucy Ann Maeyer teaches sixth grade math in the computer lab. She said, “I try to push as fast as I can, and there are some things you can’t get to, especially in math.” She was concerned that the sixth graders lost two months of preparation for the literacy passport tests. They were formerly given in March, but this year they were scheduled for February, and then the students missed a lot of school in January. She said she had not had time to prepare the I Old la# SSSStegJjpy. r^aal'Svr'" S'Cceai?^S3'0,,erof ofljcewii]j,ave *nMareJU7andMavlfi, ' **■ Wolf *, Vis* n’eet co^titue^’31 to Government ^ ^ Glance Wedn^^^7;30pn] • T iu- ^°uithouse ^ 17, Library ^' ‘°a m- Thursday, M^l7,7o^Ha«3°Pm" ^uradav Council Debates Town Hall Use One More Time By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer There was a heated discussion at the Washington Town Council last week regarding public use of the Town Hall. Town Treasurer Brad Fisher distributed a two page policy to be used for renting the Town Hall. Copies were provided to members of the council, and one copy for the audience to pass around for perusal. Council member Janice Moffett said, “I do not want to think about living on this street and having the Town Hall in constant use. Parking could be a problem.” Council member Ray Gooch replied, “The council sitting at the time applications are received would look at them case by case. The building would probably not be used more than once or twice a month.” Mr. Fisher said, “If we do get complaints, then we can change it.” Council member Mark Bailey brought up the subject of placing a time limit, or curfew, on those renting the Town Hall. Ms. Moffett commented that though the coffeehouse which RAAC sponsored last month was not a noisy affair, she could hear car doors slam when people were leaving, between 1 and 2 a.m. Skippy Giles and Council member Newbill Miller both voiced disagreement about allowing alcoholic beverages to be consumed in the Town Hall. Mayor Dean Morehouse said, “We should have a limit of 11 p.m. dining the week and 1 a.m. for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I do not think a strict prohibition is the right answer. It (intended use of alcoholic beverages) should be disclosed to the Town Council at the time of the application to rent the Town Hall.” Town resident Diane Bruce said, “The problem with the case by case basis is if you allow it one time. See Council, Page A-8 students for the test, particularly in fractions. The missed days haven’t been as much a problem in reading, she said, because the students can do that at home. In planning the rest of the year, Mrs. Maeyer said, “You take off some of the frills and get back to the core and do that.” She said that she can see when the children are re. ceptive to learning, and when they can’t absorb any more. Of the missed time, she said, “There is some you can make up for and some you can’t.” Fourth grade teacher Lilo Wolfe See Teachers, Page A-8 Assembly Passes Landmark Bills ^ By Patrick Graham Rappahannock New* Staff Writer RICHMOND - George Allen, the first Republican governor in 12 years, used his fiery inauguration speech to attack his foes in the Democrat-controlled legislature as “stolid, status quo, monarchial elitists.” Gridlock seemed to loom on the horizon. But two months later, the anticipated partisan showdown and assorted political skullduggery hardly affected the 1994 General Assembly. In fact, Allen and lawmakers describe this year’s 60-day session as one of the most productive and prolific in years. Rappahannock County, local lawmakers say, will receive more money for schools and libraries. Saying,“We did very well,"freshman Del. Jay Katzen (R-31st) pointed out that the county will get an additional sheriffs deputy and the state will continue funding of a veterinarian lab in Luray. Sen. Kevin Miller said he found the session to be “very productive” for the entire state. Attracting the attention of state tax officials, Sen. Miller’s cornerstone legislation seeking tax relief for Social Security beneficiaries was tabled until next year for further study. The so-called part-time Assembly, facing 2,700 pieces of legislation, approved a slew of landmark bills ranging from drunk driving and welfare reform to eduction disparity and hate crimes. At times oddly, both parties looking ahead to the 1995 elections found themselves championing each others’ issues. Much of the drama and tension centered around Allen’s $163 million subsidy package for the Walt Disney Co.’s theme park in Prince William County. Even though the legislature’s 140-members, after heavy lobbying, questioned the Disney’s benefits and risks, the package won overwhelming approval. For Allen, who staked his political career on the Disney package, its passage marked the young gover nor’s greatest success and revealed the limited influence of the Democratic leadership, which caved in to Allen’s pressure during the session’s waning days. Allen also won big after lawmakers at the last minute followed his demand for an abortion notification bill. The legislation, which has faced death for years and which Allen campaigned i for last fall, requires girls under 16 to notify an adult family member before seeking an abortion. “We made remarkable progress together,” Allen said in statement to lawmakers. “We have shown the people of Virginia that we can rise above partisanship and act decisively to bring about the honest change they want. It is amazing what can be accomplished when there is no concern about who gets credit.” The legislature, although dominated by Disney and a new GOP administration, enacted some of toughest drunk-driving laws in the nation and a landmark welfare reform package which may become a model for the country. To combat drunk drivers, lawmakers lowered the blood-alcohol level from .10 to .08. And such drivers will loose their licenses for seven days after arrest. The welfare reform legislation, pushed by Lt. Gov. Donald Beyer, limits welfare payments to two years, but offers job training and child care. With crime a top concern among voters, lawmakers made three-time convicted felons ineligible for parole, lowered the age at which a juvenile can be tried as an adult from 15 to 14 and permitted judges to sentence a juvenile for some crimes up to seven years from the current maximum of 12 months. ' To Allen’s credit, lawmakers layed the groundwork for special fall session to debate the governor’s calls to abolish parole and reform the state’s sentencing policies.

Problems Recur at Sperryville Plant By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Members of the Water and Sewer Authority learned that the Sperryville sewer plant could easily get in trouble again with the State Water Board. Plant operator Donna Chabot came to the meeting last Thursday evening to say that since the March 2 snow started melting the plant has been running over its capacity of 55,000 gallons. She said it was due to inflow and infiltration of ground water, and that when that happens as it had for seven consecutive days, it is impossible to keep solids from being washed out of the plant. Ms. Chabot said that three tanks on customers property are causing much of the problem. In the case of one tank, the tank itself is leaking, she said. In the other two cases the extra water is coming into the tank because the water lines from the buildings are picking up ground water, she said. She said the plant received a notice of violation for a similar problem in January, and that one will be received for February. With violations for March, that will be three months. "If you have four in a sixmonth period, they refer you to enforcement,” she said. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said that one problem is that these problems only show up when the water table is high, as it is now, and then it is extremely difficult to work around the tanks. “I hope you can get somebody full time to get this problem taken care of,” Ms. Chabot said. She said fixing the problem would not only save the WSA money in potential fines from the water board, but would also save money on the cost of plant operation. She said that normally a bucket of dechlorination tablets lasts seven days, but in these heavy flows, a bucket only lasts two days. She reminded WSA members that under the “consent order” filed with the Department of Environmental Quality the authority has until September 30 to complete repairs to the distribution system. A quarterly report on progress made must be sent by April 1. WSA members agreed they would like to be able to report that the three worst installations had been fixed in that report. The WSA agreed to pursue altering the operations and maintenance manual so that septage from the tanks in the system can be hauled to the sewer plant in Remington. They discussed whether or not the system has any remaining capacity. Member Carson Johnson said the system was designed for 196 EDUs, and that with the authority’s actions last month 291 are being used or held in reserve. Although on normal days the plant puts out less than half of its allowed 55,000 gallons, many customers are not making full use of the system, but could at a later date. Mr. Johnson said he was in the process of compiling statistics on each tank in the system. He said, “We’re got 28 tanks are not generating one gallon of stuff to go to that plant out of 156. We’ve got 24 that are generating 25 percent of what they may be. We’ve got 44 generating 50 percent of normal flow, and 16 generating 75 percent.” He said that only 44 tanks are generating the expected flow. WSA members agreed to study the issue.

Louise van Dort, a resident of the town for eight years, lists her goals as follows: • Work harmoniously with the council towards the preservation and enhancement, through orderly growth, of the unique residential environment of the town. • Support, protect, and enforce the Town ordinances as enacted by the previous council as representing the voice of the residents in the town. • Support a serious and vigorous effort towards a viable sewer disposal plan to be accomplished without assessing additional property or business taxes. • Participate and support a continuing effort towards recycling efforts and goals as mandated by the state and county. • Support forcefully any possible effort to induce the power and telephone companies to bury their lines, at their expense, wherever possible. • Support our volunteer fire and rescue squads to the fullest extent under our fiscal policies. Ms. van Dort claims that as treasurer she would “first and foremost continue the fiscal approach as charted...by our present treasurer Brad Fisher.” She promises to “administer the Town’s assets in the most rigorous conservative fashion.” She is fully computer literate. Ms. van Dort has worked on many volunteer projects in the town. She worked on the complete renovation of the Town Hall (the old library), and used people from the Sheriff’s Department “trusty program” in order to do the work. With help from Planning Commission members, John McCarthy, Mayor Dean Morehouse, Ray Gooch, and Frank Reynolds, she was responsible for the re-writing and production of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Zoning, Sub-Division and Historic District Ordinances for the Town. She has been administrative assistant, in a volunteer capacity, to the town for the last three years, and has attended nearly all Town Council meetings for the past four years. Ms. van Dort has been a member of the Town Planning Commission since 1988 and served as its chairman from 1900 to 1994. Ms. van Dort is president of an internationally active commercial interior design and space planning lo RE-OPENING SATURDAY, MARCH 19” Cabbage Broccoli Cauliflower Lettuce Violas 89' 6-FACK BLOOMING PLANTS Primrose Geraniums Herbs Pansies House Rants African Violets Hanging Baskets DIRECTIONS: From Sperryville, take Rt. 231 south X) miles turn left on 642, go V/i miles 703-923-4381 PREVIEW MARCH 19™, 10 A.M. - 2 P.M. featuring: * Gorgeous selection of antiques from Rush River Gallery/Country Heritage including: * Oak baker's cupboard * Poplar/pine jelly cupboard * Unusual hybrid kitchen cupboard * Oak sideboard * Oak flat-front kitchen cupboard * Walnut library desk * Windsor chairs both side - and armchairs * Mahogany high-poster bed * Butcher block table * Grandmother's loveseat * 1978 Chevrolet Impala, four-door sedan.

Tom Zumwalt, a two-year resident of the Town of Washington, moved here from the Washington, D.C. area. He was employed by the State Department and Corps of Engineers, and was in charge a multimillion dollar budget and awarded contracts. From 1989 to 1992 Mr. Zumwalt was in charge of urban design for the Rosslyn Renaissance, a public-private non-profit organization which worked to fix up Rosslyn. One of Mr. Zumwalt’s major goals is to have more people in town participate in the town government. “I hope to have more people involved. I think the elected officials owe the citizens of the town their respect and should listen to them.” Mr. Zumwalt would also like to see the streetscape cleaned up around town, including sidewalks. He said that maybe the town could get money from the state to do this. 1 “I would like to see the ARB and historic preservation groups become chartered or incorporated because we will have to face development here in the next 10 or 15 years. We could face having strip shopping centers,” said Mr. Zumwalt. “Also, I would like to get in with the National Trust and their Main Street program. If we do not get these things organized we might get bulldozed over by developers. The people in the town should have some say in their future.” Regarding a sewer system for the town, Mr. Zumwalt believes that needs for the town need to be determined by the people in town. “It should be considered at town meetings. Maybe we should have a referendum.” Mr. Zumwalt is proprietor of an interior design company, and resides on Main Street.

We’re still waiting for relief from a formula for i computing the county’s ability to pay for such services as education that puts heavy emphasis on land values, without taking into account land use, and that apparently uses mean income, rather than median income, for part of the formula. Since the county cannot tax income, mean income is a meaningless number, and median income would more accurately predict the ability of the citizens to pay real estate taxes. We also await a more sensible formula for computing the cost of meeting the state’s “Standards of Quality” for education, one that more accurately reflects the true costs. The state uses that formula to arrive at its share for school costs. When the formula doesn’t reflect true costs, county taxpayers end up picking up 100 percent of the costs not included in the formula. We can understand the governor’s enthusiasm for landing the Disney America theme park in Prince William County and the reluctance of the legislature to risk losing that development. However, the state’s generosity to the Disney Company feels unfair to other businesses, particularly to King’s Dominion, which invested heavily in roads to provide access to that park. It seems especially unfair because King’s Dominion is likely to lose business to the Disney theme park. We also understand the intent of having a sales tax that taxes goods but not services. However, the results of that tax seem unnecessarily perverse when groceries are taxed but not amusement park admissions. Perhaps the legislature should consider adding “entertainment” to goods as a category that is covered by the sales tax. , We frankly doubt that crime will be reduced by passage of the “three strikes and you’re in for life” legislation, and we worry that the parental notification bill for abortions will lead to the return of botched self-induced abortions, but both measures were strongly supported by the voting public. We’re waiting to see what affect the welfare reform bill will have. Finally we hope the new laws on drunk driving will indeed remove drunk drivers from our roads.

Letters to the Editor Bland Contest Defended To the Editor: As a Vice President of the Rappahannock Lions Club I have been assigned responsibility for chairing two of the standing committees, one for which I volunteered because I ;njoyed it, The Bland Committee, ind theother, because someone had x> do it, The Public Relations Committee. 1 I have re-read the two letters in the March 9 edition of The News written in response to the Feb. 23 editorial “Music and the Arts.” All three writers seem to be in agreements about the need for assigning a higher priority to developing creative talent and achieving excellence of individual expression in art and music in the public schools. ' At the Bland Concert on Feb. 20 at RCHS there were ten performers on the program, five vocalists and five instrumentalists. There was a modest-sized audience of friends, family and Lions and all four expert judges were present and prepared. I was greatly relieved because only three days before, when our Bland Committee met to review the program prospects, we were seriously debating the cancellation of this annual event for 1994. At the late hour we had the names of three females vocalists and one male instrumentalist scheduled to participate but without signed registration forms. However, we didn’t want to disappoint even those four students or the volunteer judges or the families involved. Actually, it was the registration of a 9-year old from Wakefield Country Day School who called me at home at night that persuaded us to go ahead. By the end of the next day, Friday, we had one more name from the public school and four more from WCDS, ten in all, providing a respectable program for the following Sunday. The next Thursday I was surprised to see the editorial devoted to “Music and the Arts.” It was a little disappointing to realize that our Bland Contest was the event that seemed to trigger a release of frustration and could cause the comment. “It has not been many years since the county had many qualified participants in both categories from the public schools. It is sad to see this deterioration.” Well, I wasn’t in the county then, but I heard tales about those “Golden Years.” Even before we moved to Castleton, nearly five years ago, we received glowing reports about the high standard and quality of musical comedy productions that provided fine opportunities to Rappahannock County talent. The recent Bland Concert was the fourth in which I personally participated, serving as Chairman for the last three years. I believe it necessary to respond to some of Judy Hitt’s comments. She suggests that “until there are more positive attitudes from the Lions Club, judges, media, school and the public, you are not going to get the performers.” Since that comment covers all the groups involved it would seem that everyone could be doing better. llie Lions Club has proven its positive attitude by contributing generous cash awards and volunteer hours of service in support of music and the arts for many years. Mrs. Hitt has apparently misjudged our excellent judges by accusing them of “favoritism.” Our highly qualified volunteer judges take their critical work very seriously. Some of them have taken extra time and given thought to write constructive and encouraging comments to help the young musicians improve future performances. Even if a judge knew any of the students personally, which I doubt has occurred, their musical integrity would not permit them to show bias. At least in recent years all performers has received certificates of Participation and will again this year. The prize winners will be receiving their checks and certificates at the Lions Club dinner on Wednesday, March 16 and the others will be awarded at their schools. There was one occasion, in the past four years, where an error was made in simple arithmatic, one digit, in the column representing 10 points. From that time the summaries were carefully double-checked. When that error was brought to our attention, we declared a tie and made two equal cash awards. The Rappahannock Lions Club is in being to serve the best community interests and needs. If anyone has observed ways in which we can improve our program or performances please let us know. We have a distinguished Board of Directors who meet regularly to discuss and solve our problems and the opportunities for service in the community. For the past three years our first place Bland winners have won 2nd and 3rd place awards at the zone level. The competition has been high quality. We hope we will win one on March 20 in Warrenton. BOB SCOTT Amissville Second Amendment Examined To the Editor: I refer to the questions concerning the meaning of the Second Amendment which Frank Warner raised in the March 2 Rappahannock News. First, Mr. Warner’s disclaimers were unnecessary. One need’t be a lawyer or Constitutional scholar to read and understand the Second Amendment. It reads, in full, as follows: “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The language clearly relates the people’s right to keep and bear arms to the maintenance of a well-regulated militia. Second, the Amendment should be examined in the context of the late 18th century, the time of its adoption. The first militia in the U.S. was the Military Company of Massachusetts, which was followed by similar groups in other colonies. In these militia groups, local control and voluntary service prevailed. In this light, a guarantee of the people’s right to keep and bear arms was essential for private citizens, volun s teers all, to meet in locally controlled militia groups to repel danger to the Slate. Third, the word “people” in the Amendment does not mean “the State,” as Mr. Warner correctly contends. The right to bear arms was conferred on the people, because they were the volunteers who had made up the militia in the colonies during the Revolution. The Columbia Encyclopedia informs us that, while the militia was a valuable force during the Revolution, it proved undependable in the War of 1812, and therefore, no militia was used in the Mexican War. During the Civil War, both sides resorted to the use of militias to supply their manpower needs, but after World War I, state military units were established under the term “National Guard.” Since the government provides all the arms required by National Guard units, the right conferred on the people in the Second Amendment would appear to be unnecessary. However, the men who drafted the Bill of Rights did not have a government-supported National Guard in their experience; they had locally controlled groups of volunteers, who furnished their own arms as they formed the militia. Finally, where does the above discussion leave us? Is the Second Amendement a mere anachronism, in the face of the disappearance of a locally controlled, volunteer militia on which the Amendment was predicated? The right of the people to bear arms is most certainly not absolute, as contended by the NRA. During the past year, the number of deaths by firearms in the U.S. has exceeded the number of deaths caused by the automobile. No one can reasonably object to the government licensing drivers and thereby having the means to hold them responsible for the destruction they cause as drivers. Why not license all firearms and users of firearms? Such action would fit in nicely with the purpose of the Second Amendment, to assure a “well-regulated militia.” LEE^BIRD Washington Cheerleader,.: Squad Supported To the Editor: i In the March 2 issue of the Rappahannock News a gentleman from Sperryville wrote in to express concerns about the Varsity Cheerleaders not being at the J.V. basketball game on Feb. 24. I am writing this letter to clear up some misconception nal about the squad. i First of all, Mr. Roe stated that Bentsville, Central and George Ma» son were all accompanied * by cheerleading squads while Rappahannock was not. This is true. However, all of these schools have two cheerleader squads—a J.V. and a Varsity—Rappahannock does not. Our Varsity squad cheers for both Varsity and J.V. games and practices daily for two hours. Secondly, Mr. Roe’s letter stated that the Varsity cheerleaders missed two games. This is incorreftv The girls did not cheer on the Feb. 24 game due to the fact that it had been rescheduled from Feb. 23. Our squad had already scheduled a late practice on the 24th to prepare for the Bull Run District Cheerleading competition on that following Saturday. Citizens of Rappahannock can $i-‘ ther agree or disagree with the decision I made to miss the J.V. gam$, that is their right. I’m just sorry that a letter to the editor upset eight hardworking dedicated and talented girls when it was their coach’s decision not to go. And as far as Mr.* Roe’s comment about cutting Cheerleading to help the budget" T hardly think that the modest stipend I am given to coach the squad (the only money given to the cheerleaders), would solve our budget problems. But given the chance again" I' would be glad to work with these, young ladies for free.

Robb's Problems Caused By Image He Cultivated By JOHN GOOLRICK * Senator Charles Robb’s extraordinary letter to fellow Democrats was painful to read by those who knew him in the bright days when he was considered the All-American politician. His admission that while governor he lived a secret life at Virginia Beach and did things that a married man should not have done confirmed, at least in part, some of the rumors that have been floated around for nearly a decade about the wild parties he regularly attended. Robb is more vulnerable to pblitical retribution against him than most politicians because he carefully cultivated the image of the former Marine who was a hard working, Gold Cup Offers Skybox tickets The Virginia Gold Cup announced this week that new special skybox arrangements for 20 people will be available with tickets oh sale f<jr the 69th Running of the steeplech&sing classic on Saturday, May 6 at Great Meadow near The Plains.

His father in law, the late Lyndon Johnson, was a known womanizer all his political life, and nobody was surprised when rumors of yet another affair surfaced. Similarly, you can make all the allegations of womanizing against Bill Clinton that you want and nobody will raise an eyebrow because it’s exactly what people expect of him. When Chuck Robb was Governor, I was still a member of the Capitol press corps and had a chance to observe him frequently. At the lavish cocktail parties put on by various interest groups I would watch him with a glass of nothing stronger than gingerale in his hand. The thought that he might attend parties where dope was openly used and where scantily clad bimbos abounded was not one I could have imagined. To me Chuck Robb was a straight arrow, a handsome, rugged, nice guy who was, to put it bluntly, kind of boring. After all, I saw every night at various places liasons between some distinguished members of the General Assembly and ladies who were not their spouses. In an imperfect world, one has to often overlook imperfections even if they occur in the elected leaders of the Commonwealth of Virginia. But what Robb has to overcome is the feeling of betrayal among all of those Virginians who believed the image he created. Now such hopes have long since faded and Robb is fighting for his political survival. That is still very much in doubt, and it is too early to tell whether the letter he recently sent out will succeed in closing the long ago unbecoming chapter in his life that he wants people to forget. It has been over a decade since much of it happened, after all, and if he has been forgiven by his wife and God, as he claims, then why can’t the rest of the people of Virginia take him at his word? If the answer is they just won’t, I suspect the underlying reason is that, though he says he has never lied to anyone, many will look upon the image he created for himself very successfully as a lie. While they were sure they had a Governor of great dignity and moral character ! what they had was a Governor who, accompanied by State Police, frequently attended sleazy partiesChuck Robb is someone I liked when he came to Virginia and I had the chance to meet him. He is someone who was always gracious with his time when I was a member of the media. Like most other Vriginians, I regarded him as a man of principle. I ^ad a chance to talk with him on Inauguration Day, and he is still someone I like personally, someone who has always been kind and generous in his dealings with me. But the bottom line is that much of politics is founded on perception, and perception can be a two-edged swonl as he well knows being a person who once basked in the highest possible perception and who is now perceived by a majority of Virginians as not worthy of representing them in the U.S. Senate.

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, VA 987-8555 f Picking On The New York Times By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Unir«nal Picas One of the pleasures of life, as we recall from the Katzenjammer kids, is to throw a snowball at the fellow in the high silk hat. It is the bestwritten, best-edited paper in the country. So let us pause in the day’s approbation to take note of the literary offenses of The New York Time8. It should go without saying, but I will say it anyhow, that those \#io write for the Times should know how to spell words in the English language. This is not always the case at The New York Times. Last year at about this time the paper reported the sad story of 10year-old Katie Beers, who had been reared “amid sickness, squaller and alleged sexual abuse.” How did “squaller” get by the best-paid copy editors in the world? , The Times’ man in Ottawa has been known to report that the leader of the Liberal Party “kept his own council,” which is not what he meant at all. The Times’ in Salt Lake City covered the story of eight hikers in Zion National Park. They went by a hazardous route, “repelling down 1,500 foot cliffs.” They were in fact: rappelling down those cliffs. A second rule is that writers of the first rank must avoid secondclass metaphors, but in December we learned from the Times that Pro INCOME TAX PREPARATION Rcoconoblc Rates Specializing in individual, far**v and •mall business returns, Pat SKotton (703) 675-3**2 zac is “the flagship member of a new fleet of antidepressants.” Sink that ship! Rule No. 3 forbids employment of the most stupid phrase ever put to use by an editorial writer. Alas, in December the editor informed us, with portentous insight, that “it remains to be seen whether average American will be well served by the health reform package.” What profundity is here! Rule 4 teaches us that a great newpaper—and the Times is a great newpaper—ought not to publish sentences that have the aspects of leftqyer hash. In January the Times reported from Atlanta that lawyers said “Mr. Parks took advantage of the financial naivete of Ira Jackson and Mr. Wilboum to arranged loans and make other business transactions that are now under investigation.” There was a sentence that needed help. Moving on: Rule 5 advises against sentences that wander aimlessly on, past parenthetical curves, around a semi-colon and through a dashed interpolation. In the Times paper, Rule 5 often is abused: “Since then, Ms. McLaughlin has played the angel (as well as a handful of other roles in the show; all of the cast members play multiple parts) in productions at the Bureka Theatre in San Franciso-T hung on a rope,’ she said, ‘we had $1.99 to do the whole show*—and the Taper in Los Angeles, where the angel flew on a single wire and was never quite able to keep from slowly spinning when she should have been stiff.” So it goes at the greatest paper in the land. The Times lately has confused jerry-built with juryrigged. Maureen Dowd, one of the Times’ best, supposes that “to make do” is spelled “to make due.” Many of the Times’ stars fail the test of using “like” where “such as” is demanded. In my usual mood of benign tolerance, I might forgive all these literary offenses of The New York Times. I am all heart. But not today. Last month the Times hiked its newsstand price from 75 cents to $1. If I throw a few snowballs, I am seeking merely to get my 25 cents change.

Indictments and Jail Time Handed Down By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Three indictments were handed down by the Grand Jury during Term Day in Rappahannock County Circuit Court Monday. Leonard Morgan Eppard, 29, of Flint Hill, was indicted for two counts of committing aggravated sexual battery on a ten year-old male child, and two counts of committing sodomy on a ten year-old male child. The offenses were alleged to have occurred in August and September, 1993. Kenneth Ivar Jacobs, 30, of Castleton, was indicted for trespassing and grand larceny. He is charged with trespassing on the property of Robert Smith and stealing property of Mr. Smith’s, namely, four automotive wheels and tires, two carburetors and one intake manifold, on or about October 23,1993. Robert Earl Roles, 36, of Front Royal, was indicted for allegedly r stealing three pieces of mahogany furniture from Josef M. Gardiner, on or about August 24,1992. Also on Monday James Riley Williston Jr., 26, of Washington, was sentenced to nine years in jail. He was sentenced to 38 years in jail, with 29 years suspended, for grand larceny, breaking and entering, and check forgery charges. He pleaded guilty to the charges eh Nov. 11, 1993. According to the charges, Mr. Willison broke into the house of Clydetta Lynn in Flint Hill, forged nine checks on the accounts of Mrs. Lynn and Pam Lynn of Washington, and stole Mrs. Lynn’s car. Mr. Williston will be on supervised probation for five years upon his release from jail. Robert Adam Love, 20, of Sperryville, entered into a plea agreement, which sentenced him to five years in jail, with 90 days to serve. He was convicted of stealing guns from Joel Whitfield. After serving his 90 days in jail, he will be on two years of supervised probation. Also, he must pay restitution of $647.00 to Mr. Whitfield and send him a letter of apology. Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson said to Mr. Love, “Think about the future, what you are going to do with yourself.” The case for Randall Linden Ramey, 22, of Rixeyville, was set over to April 26 for another judge to hear (Judge Carleton Penn).

Asa result, annual average pesticide detections at levels exceeding drinking ,'water standards can be presented. * Non-point sources of pesticides, primarily runoff of chemicals absorbed into eroded soil and dissolved ih runoff water, account for the majority of pesticides detected in surface water. Managing pesticide use to address this situation begins with assessing a potential treatment sitelB risk to surface water. Factors fivldh as slope and soil type are considered. “ Conservation practices are effeclive in reducing pesticide runoff. Controlled studies have shown that JHe use of conservation tillage systems (no till and mulch till) usually reduce pesticide runoff. » Vegetative filter strips and grassed waterways reduce pesticide Jupoff by trapping sediment and sloping water runoff, so that pesticides can interact with vegetation and "soil. 1 Crops rotation has been an effective BMP for surface water protection. It improves water infiltration to reduce runoff, provides more surface crop residue to reduce erosion, }md reduces the intensity of use of specific pesticides in given watersheds. * The results of successful implejnentation of these BMPs should prevent annual average concentrations of pesticides in surface water » i —————— Be Resourceful.

Positive results, as measured by declining levels of pesticide contamination in surface water, can demonstrate agriculture’s ability to respond to environmental concerns. This could be important to the continued use of pesticide products. The two basic approaches to deal with pesticide concentrations exceeding standards are implementation of BMPs or to limit or ban the use of the chemicals in the drainage basin. While there may be areas which are highly vulnerable to contamination in which limitations or a ban is necessary, such limitations could put farmers in affected areas at a competitive disadvantage to other farmers who can still use these pesticides. BMPs can allow farmers to retain a competitive advantage by using the more effective or economical pesticides. For more information about BMPs and the installation of BMPs, contact the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District at 826-8591.

Library Board Approves Full Funding for Budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Library Board voted to request full funding for its budget from the Board of Supervisors. At a special work session last ’ Thrusday on the budget, the board considered a slightly reduced budget that would have only granted 3 percent raises to library employees. They also discussed the Library Clerk’s position. That position has been funded under a grant. The board’s budget would pay for the position locally, based on a 24-hour work week. The board debated requesting funding for the position on a lower hourly basis, but concluded that might result in losing a highly qualified person for one less qualified. The vote to adopt the budget requesting $50,781 from the supervisors, an increase of $9,076 passed 6 to 1, with John McCarthy voting i “No” and members Helen Platt and Steve Slade absent. Before the discussion began, Librarian Nicki Lynch presented the board with further information. According to Mrs. Lynch’s statistics from the 1992-93 budget year, Virginia localities contributed an average of $19.51 per capita to libraries, while Rappahannock contributed $6.31. As a part of the state average Falls Church contributed $88.38, and Fairfax contributed over $100, she said. In the local area, Warren County contributed $9.35 and Fauquier contributed $12,97. “Rather than talking about cutting our budget, we should be adding to the budget,” she said. Mary Jamieson asked Mrs. Lynch if she had figures on how much it costs “per book circulated.” Mrs. Lynch said she did not have a figure for that. Member Frank Warner asked for information on other surrounding counties such as Page and Madison counties. Mrs. Lynch said that Madison does not have a certified librarian. “We’re 34th from the bottom out of 90 libraries,” she said. Mr. Warner said 34th “is not bad.” 1 “If we came up to the state average, we’d be asking for $130,000,” Mrs. Jamieson said. “Okay, let’s ask for it,” Chairman William Young joked. Ed Barton, president of the “Friends of the Rappahannock Library” asked what percentage of county revenues goes to the library. Mr. McCarthy said, “I have no idea, but it’s very small.” During the discussion board members received a fax from Mr. 'Slade, regreting that he had to miss the meeting and saying he would support the budget. Once the budget was adopted, Dr. Young asked members to support it in meetings with the supervisors and help “corral” other supporters from the community to speak in support of the library’s bud►Council / From Page A-l you cannot turn it down the next time. The coffeehouse was a very nice event. One of the problems I thought of was that the steps had ice on them. I don’t know what liability the town has in case someone falls down. There were candles and I do not think that is safe. Those are two potentially big problems.” Town resident Steve Critzer, who will be running for election for the next council, said, “You should wait another month and check out the septic system before allowing the building to be rented out. Also, if people come in and move furniture around and dance on this nice pine floor, it could make a mess of the floor.” Ms. Bruce pointed out that the last power bill, for December and January, was $600. “Think of what it can be if the Town Hall was being rented out,” she said. Mr. Gooch replied, “We plan to charge a $10 an hour rental fee to help pay for the power.” The parking problem seemed to be the problem which most people 1 agreed on. Mr. Fisher said, “I am sensitive to the possible parking problem, but I do not think we should not use the building. ” Mayor Morehouse said, “I think the committee did a good job on the policy. You can put in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica here, but who will be here to enforce those regulations? f People have to come to the Town Council to apply for use of the building”. v Storm Damage Rappahannock Newt Staff PhottVCindy Mahan These two brick chimneys at the Washington Baptist Church were toppled by the early March storm. Because of all the dissention concerning the policy, the council decided to have a committee of five look over the policy before the next council meeting when it will again be brought up for discussion. That committee will consist of Newbill Miller, Diane Bruce, Steve Critzer, Janice Moffett and Susan Parrish. Mayor Morehouse said that he had a grant partially filled out for a sewer study, and appointed Mr. Fisher, Ms. Parrish, and Mr. Gooch to evaluate the sewer study. The study is meant to analyze the needs of the town. Mr. Miller commented, “Remember that with a public sewer, density is sure to follow.” Mr. Fisher read a Certificate of Appreciation which will be presented to Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, owners of the Inn at Little Washington, signed by the Mayor, Treasurer, and Clerk of the town, and bearing the names of the members of the Town Council. Among other things, the certificate recognizes The Inn for being recently acknowledged as the best restaurant in the United States, for expanding the tourism industry in the town, for establishing a firm revenue base for the government land municipal operations of the town, support and donations for many town and county organizations. Mr. Gooch asked for an update on the street lighting situation, to be discussed at the next meeting. Mr. Bailey said that he was waiting to hear from Potomac Edison. Oh ypu are good.Very good.

WVIRGINIA LOTTERY 3 plays far $L Omni chances of winning arc I in 191 \ ►Assembly From Page A-l era did take a little thunder out of Allen’s tough-taking, anti-crime platform by passing the three-time loser bill and allowing juries to know the criminal history of the defendant before sentencing. The House and Senate extended extra protections to women and minorities. Lawmakers created a sexual offender registry to hold the names of all convicted of felony sex crimes, passed a landmark anti-staking measure and added a mandatory six-month jail sentence on those convicted of assaulting others or destroying property because of the victim’s race, religion, color or national origin. On the budget front, the Assembly found $103 million to help reduce classroom sizes in the state’s poorest school districts, thus possibly ending a heated dispute between rich and poor schools. Lawmakers also restored funding that former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder cut for colleges and pegged tuition to the inflation rate. Aside from legislation, the 1994 session saw a larger and stronger Republican minority force the Democratic leadership to relinquish some powers over the legislative process. The Republicans growing clout, some lawmakers contend, made for a bipartisan session. ►Teachers From Pace A-l said she was sending home more school work. "We started sending home packets when we saw snow coming up,” she said. "There is a big emphasis on reading, because that is one thing they can keep doing.” She said she was also sending home worksheets. From the results she said she can see if it something she needs to provide more practice on or if it is something she does not need to teach, because the children remember the work from an earlier grade. • She said the schedule has been particularly difficult for children who have keyboarding on Wednesday. She said she has made the computer classroom available at recess time, for those students to come in and practice. Students will be taking standardized tests starting next week, and some teachers are concerned their students won’t do as well this year as in a more normal year. “I’m not going to take the test scores personally,” Mrs. Wolfe said. Seventh grade social studies teacher Gene Walker said he has assigned more reading to be done at home. He said he expects to “cover the most important concepts, but not in as much detail.” He said he had sent home “snow sheets” with reading assignments whether or not there was school. He said some of the students resented having to do school work on snow days, “but others were happy to have something to do.” At the high school, Jeanne Grymes teaches Advanced Placement American History. This is the first year for the course, and she is concerned that she won’t be able to cover all the content before AP tests are given in early May. One thing she had decided to do is leave the study of the second hovel assigned to the class for after the test. She said she might start asking the students to come to school for extra sessions to prepare for the test. She said the students in the class have “coped well” with the pressure of the class. In her world history classes she said, “It’s tough to discern what to cover and what not to cover. I’ll do a lot of skimming and not as much in depth, so they have exposure to the material.” Government teacher Dennis Wingfield agreed saying he usually has all the students give oral reports on current events. He said this year, only one third of the class gives oral reports and the rest hand in written work. The other students will give the oral reports another time, he said. J He said he will cover all the; material, but without as much reinforcement and supplementary materials. He said he likes to make' use of video tapes to supplement; concepts in government, but this; year “I’ll try to tell them in word* what they would have seen on the! tape...But you can’t say becausg you’ve covered the material, that’$ the best teaching,” he said. * Math teacher Helen Williamssaid she isn’t worried about her calculus class because “they were way, ahead” of previous year’s classes. In{ her Algebra I classes, she said she will wait until later in the year to make a decision if she needs to skipt certain things she would normally cover. She said that the math dej partment would be able to deal with the problem because the Algebra It teachers will know what the stu-J dents didn’t get in Algebra I. * Vickie Easthamn, who teacher Algebra II and eighth grade math! said she hasn’t made many adjust-, ments yet. “I’m more careful tof make sure they have retained a con-* cept before I give a test,” she said. > She noted that the teachers are! using new textbooks this year, and! that makes it somewhat difficult tof compare where students are thhf year with previous years. “I haven’t eliminated anV material yet, but maybe I will later,” she said. > English teacher Laurel Van; Horn said she is doubling up some; assignments. “I don’t know if I can! cover it all,” she said. “Where £ would normally assign two stories of a certawin type, I’ll do one to make; sure they’re exposed to the different types of literature,” she said. With her AP English class, she said the students are doing practice; tests now, and they are having more' outside reading. Earth science teacher Beth Gall said she enjoyed having more timer at home with her own young children. With her classes, she said she expects to cover all the “basics” but! she won’t get to some of the “extras.” She said in former years she has a section in “environmental science. I won’t get to that,” she said. - Technology teacher Ron Vickers said he is helping students learn to “prioritize” their day. “You can’t do it all,” he said. He said he wants students to set the highest priority in school on doing the work that they can’t do out of school. Z He said several of his students asked him if he would come to school on a Saturday to work with them, and so one Saturday he had Saturday school from 8a.m. until noon. He said 15 students came on a strictly voluntary basis. “That was a good day,” he said, i : » Student Jim Clark agreed. “Thai was kind of cool,” he said. £ SAVE UP TO 66% WHEN YOU TAKE AN EXTRA 50% OFF ■ Iliad MERCHANDISE MARKED WITH RED DOTS LOOK FOR THE SPECIAL RED DOT SIGNS...

. • Community News • Obituaries .> / Rappahannock News Countrywide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16,1994 Digit's Recuperation Attracts Concern By CINDY MAHAN R*l>l>«h«nnock New* Staff Writer Digit was entertaining her guest, Nutmeg the golden retriever, when it happened. She was running at a fast clip when she cut a corner too close, slid in the mud, and smashed into a grape arbor. The iryury dislocated her spine, and Digit, a seven year-old female dog, mostly black labrador, was rushed to her veterinarian in Culpeper, Dr. Beverly Young at the Blue Ridge Animal Hospital. Digit’s owners, Donna and Robin Kevis of Washington, were devastated by the sight of their normally very active dog being unable to get her back legs to work at all. The vet’s prognosis was that the dislocation caused her nerves to be compressed, and therefore Digit became numb along her back and hind legs. Gradually the pressure will be released, hopefully, and the spine will realign itself. Digit spent a week at the vet’s, and was delighted that all sorts of friends were interested in her health. The vet was astonished at the number of phone calls from people in Rappahannock County who wanted to know how Digit was doing. Digit is well known in the town of Washington. She is a very active and sociable dog. Before her accident, a normal day for Digit would go as follows: get up; go out and get milk bones from the Hobson and Bare children at the bus%top; mosey on Donna Kevis takes Digit for a walk in the back yard. I , l Spring Mountain School Auction Set for Saturday Organizers Lucky in Donations By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Sometimes luck is with you. You’re organizing the first auction for a small, private school. You’ve asked all the parents for donations, and they’ve done their best-a load of ' manure from a farming family, baskets full of goodies from a mother, antique coins from a grandparent. But, frankly, the pickings are a bit slim. Almost everybody works hard for a living, and there isn’t a lot _ to spare. Then, you call a nice woman, a local business owner, and you say sweetly, “Would you be able to donate something to the first annual ftmd-raising auction of Spring Mountain School?” And the woman, Mary Simmons, - ? replies, “Let me think about it.” A polite turn-down, you think? Read further. Mary Simmons happens to own Rush River Gallery on Gay Street in * Washington. She also is the new * owner of the Country Heritage * Store on the corner of Main and - Piedmont Streets. ' - When Stella Cadwalader phoned _ Mrs. Simmons to ask for a donation to the school auction, Mrs. Simmons i had been pondering ways to empty * Country Heritage, so that she could l make room for the Rush River Gal*lery, which needed to move from its - present location this spring. ' • “I called Stella back right away and told her she could have almost - Everything in Country* Heritage,” I said Mrs. Simmons. “I think it’s a i wonderful little school and the tim: ing was right for me.” 1 : It didn’t hurt that Mrs. Simmons * is a keen supporter of education and - a mother and a grandmother herself. ' - So come Saturday, March 19, at 7 p.m., the auditorium of Spring Mountain School on Mt. Salem Ave* nue in Washington will be filled with * furniture and other items worth a toItal of $10,000 to $15,000, including “ these items from Mrs. Simmons: a Walnut library desk, antique baker’s cupboard made from oak, Windsor siae chairs, and a mahogany four- poster bed. Her donations alone would require 10 typed, singlespaced pages to list. Yet Mrs. Simmons isn’t the only person who has been generous to Spring Mountain. Hunt Harris is offering almost six hours worth of tennis lessons. Sandra CartwrightBrown has donated two trail rides. Chris Goodine has contributed handmade silver earrings. Perhaps most unusual of all (and appropriate for families needing a good vacation) is the donation by Diana and Lee Bird of a week at their 17th-century captain’s house in Martha’s Vineyard. “I think it’s a wonderful little school and the timing was right for me.” —Mary Simmons The market rate for such a house would be $2,000 a week. It sleeps eight and is situated on 10 acres. A well-stocked library, great children’s playground and restaurants are all within walking distance. A private beach is within biking distance. “Come to our auction for any reason whatsoever-to taste our free wine and beer, sample our free hors d’oeuvres, to browse through the hundreds of donated items—or even, maybe, to bid on something,” suggested Ms. Cadwalader. “We’re offering something for every pocketbook. We have Ben and Jerry’s Peace Pops, we have crafts, we have a 1978 Chevrolet,” she added. Bethany Craig, head of Spring Mountain School, says the money raised by the auction will be applied toward scholarships and sending the school’s three teachers for training this summer at accredited Waldorf institutions. “One of us will be at school in New Hampshire, another in Maine and a third in California, if all goes as planned,” said Mrs. Craig. ‘The Waldorf approach to children is magical-it opens them to their tremendous inner resourcesbut it’s only as good as the teachers are,” said Mrs. Craig. ‘We want our teachers to be as knowledgeable, insightful and skillful as the best Waldorf teachers anywhere. Our kids deserve no less.” over to Phyllis Marriott’s to see Lulu, her black lab; walk around town with Phyllis and Lulu; go home for lunch and a nap; then back out to see what’s going on around town. On Wednesday and Friday, Digit often accompanies Mrs. Kevis to the thrift shop, and loves to visit Ray Gooch on weekends. This injury has cramped Digit’s style. For the next five weeks or more, she will be confined to the house, except for her three ten-minute “walks” outside. Since she has yet to gain the use of her back legs, Mrs. or Mr. Kevis must accompany Digit outside, supporting her hind end with a towel. While this is going on, the embarrassment is obvious on Digit’s face. Her eyes search around the yard, hoping that no one is watching her, especially another dog. Digit has received lots of visitors since she got home, and many people have offered their help. John Mirando came over three times a day to help Mrs. Kevis take Digit outside for her “walk.” Carol Miller and Sheila Inglis lent cages for Digit (the vet says she needs cage rest, instead of trying to get around the house on her own). Diane Welty has been over and done Feldenkrais on Digit, which helped her to relax. In fact, it put her to sleep. Digit has also had the help of a chiropractor, Dr. Barbara Miller of Culpeper, who donated her services. Eve Willis put Mrs. Kevis in touch with Dr. Spencer Johnston at VP I, a specialist who consulted on Digit’s case. The Revises have owned Digit for five years. Johnny Ray Pullen, the dog warden, met Mrs. Kevis one day and informed her that he had a dog that he would have to put down that night if he didn’t find a home for her. So, Digit suddenly had a new /home. She was a mangy, 42-pound dog, pitiful to look at, and was named after one of Dian Fossey’s gorillas, from the, movie Gorillas in the Mist. After taking her to a doggy beauty parlor for “the works,” Mrs. Kevis took her to the vet to be looked over. Mrs. Kevis wanted to have her spayed, but the vet informed her that it was too late. Within a month, puppies were due. 1 Three and half weeks later, Digit gave birth to 11 puppies, nine of which lived. Homes were found for all of them. “We were very determined to find homes for them. All of the puppies are now about five years old, and they are all big and stupid |nd very friendly,” said Mrs. Kevis. Most of them weigh about 95 pounds. Digit weighs 75 pounds now. Johnny Ray Pullen calls Digit his best success story. Though Digit is not expected to ever be 100 percent healthy again, she will probably be able to walk after at least six weeks of rest and relaxation. Mrs. Kevis said, “We hope this means there will be no more Indy 500’s in the backyard.” Mrs. Kevis has graciously offered a dog biscuit recipe. She often makes these for Digit. 2 cups whole wheat flour 2 cups com lkieal 1 cup Parmesan cheese 3/4 cup oil or fat 1/2 cup broth 1 2 or 3 eggs Dash maple syrup Combine all ingredients and mix well. Roll to 1/2 inch. Cut out with cookie cutters (bone shapes are nice). Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes. 1 Seminar To Assist Non-Profit Groups With Money Handling The Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants (VSCPA) and the Virginia Office of Volunteerism are sponsoring a half-day nonprofit seminar on Saturday, May 7 at A\erett College in Danville.

Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Digit knows how to look appealing and win friends. < Colors Make the Clothes That Make the Man or Woman By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Last week’s library program was “The Psychology of Color” presented by Tom Zumwalt, a local interior decorator. Mr. Zumwalt spoke about the natural dyes used for color before the introduction of chemical dyes in 1770. He said that certain colors were only allowed to be worn by certain people, such as purple or blue for royalty. The reason for this was that the dyes were so expensive for certain colors that only a few people could afford them. The color purple was made from snails, and it certainly took a lot of them to make a small amount of dye, he said. Blue was made from the gemstone lapis lazuli. According to Mr. Zumwalt, until the mid-1700s, people could be sent to jail for wearing the wrong color. Only the emperor could wear the color purple, and red was worn only by women of certain trades. Black was reserved for judges and priests. ■ Yellow was the color of betrayal, and green symbolized prosperity, nobility, and was the official color of money lenders. Even today, said Mr. Zumwalt, many colors are imprinted in our memories: brides wear white (usually), money is green, priests wear black, and bankers wear dark blue. Companies can spend millions of dollars testing which colors are best for advertising their product, he said. Usually, bright colors stimulate people more. For this reason, hospitals are now experimenting with using cool, bright colors, such as reds, oranges and yellows, in hospital rooms for coma patients. It is believed that the presence of the bright colors might coerce patients ■■ out of their comas, he said. Basically, primary colors are seen as more juvenile colors, and secondary or tertiary colors are seen as more sophisticated, according to Mr. Zumwalt.

Two significant pieces of legislation included passage of Disney’s America Theme Park and parental notification for girls 16 and under, except the bill was weakened to include notification of another family member, not necessarily - a parent, before getting an abortion. i By CATHY Wit* SMITH I Governor George Allen has declared March 13-19 as Christian Heritage week in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The proclamation includes quotation of great statesmen who did not hesitate to express their faith, including Benjamin Franklin, George Waghlhgton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Patrick Henry, and George Mason. May we never forget our country was founded on Biblical principles. From history we find that Virginia is really the birthplace of biblical freedom for our nation. Unfortunately, an attempt has been made to remove many references to our historical Christian heritage. A book on this issue has been written by Catherine Millard, Rewriting of America’s History, published by Horizon House Publishers.

You can see it if you look closely, rust brown against the white of each individual blossom. Many of us carry crosses, faint like the dogwood’s emblem, but with us, nevertheless. Somehow, in this Lenten season, we become particularly conscious of them and of our need for help...a certain kind of help that can be found only through the things we learn in God’s House. The Church doesn’t pretend to banish our cares and woes, but its teachings realistically consider the experiences of life itself. No matter what our personal cross may be, we seem able to bear its burden with more strength. Lent is a wonderful time in which to begin making church a regular part of your life - if you haven’t already.

Eappafjannocfe i^etos 1-800-852-4797 © Salmonella and Egg Safety By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics The egg is one of nature’s most nutritious, economical, and versatile foods. With proper care and handling, it poses no greater risk thar any other perishable food. Since the early 1970’s, the inside of the egg has been considered almost sterile, but recently a bacterial organism, Salmonella enteritidis, has been found inside some eggs. How the contamination occurs is still unclear, but scientists are working to find a solution to the problem. It is important to remember that only a very small number of eggs (much less than 1 percent) might contain Salmonella enteritidis. If an egg does contain the organism, the numbers in a freshly laid agg probably will be small and, if the eggs are promptly refrigerated, will not multiply enough to cause illness in a health person. All animal protein foods-meets, dairy products, eggs, poultry, and fish-provide a ready supply of both food and moisture for bacterial growth. The FDA considers these foods “potentially hazardous.” The designation is not cause for alarm - it simply means that these foods are perishable and should receive refrigeration, sanitary handling, aid adequate cooking. Lack of attention to these details can made any food a “hazardous” food. Salmonellosis Salmonella enteritidis can cause illness (salmonellosis) if ingested in large enough numbers. Salmonellosis is not uncommon, largerly because the organisms are so widely distributed in nature and so easily spread. They are found in the intestinal tracts of animals, birds, repitles, seafood, insects and people. Tlie organisms can easily be passed from the intestinal tract to the hands and on to food. Food and preparation areas exposed to pets or insects can become contaminated. Symptoms of salmonellosis are abdominal cramps, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Although the attacks are usually of relatively short duration, they may be more serious for infants, the elderly, convalescents, pregnant women, and people with immune system disorders. In spite of the acute discomfort it creates, salmonellosis is rarely fatal. The majority of salmonellosis outbreaks have been attributed to foods other than eggs - chicken, beef, and fish - to human carriers, and to cros8-contaimination through people, utensils, and other foods during preparation. Of the outbreaks involving eggs, almost all have occurred in the foodservice sector and have been the result of inadequate refrigeration and insufficient cooking. Such risks could be eliminated, or at least greatly reduced, through the regular use of thermometers to check temperatures of food and equipment. Like all bacteria, Salmonella need food, moisture, a favorable temperature, and time for growth. Under ideal conditions, their number can double every 20 minutes, and a single organism can rapidly increase to more than a million in just six hours. Salmonella enteritidis will not grow at temperature below 40 degrees F. Temperatures above 160 degrees F. will kill the organisms. Temperatures between 40 degress F. and 140 degrees F., known as the danger zone, are ideal for rapid growth. Cold foods should be kept below 10 degrees F. and hot goods about 140 degrees F, Freezing does not destroy Salmanella, but it may impair some cells. Safe Food Handling These general rules for safe food handling are the same in a foodservices setting and in the home. In a food service operation, however, the degree of risk is higher because of the greater number of eggs involved, and because more people participte in handling and preparation. In foodservice operations many eggs are often poolen (broken together) and allowed to stand at room temperature for a considerable time. In such cases, a few organisms from just one egg can quickly mulitiple to a very high number. If eggs from that batch are then not completely cooked or are kept warm at improper temperature for too long a time, the bacteria will multiply even further. In the home, these particular risks are not so great. Shell eggs are safest when properly prepared and promptly eaten at home. Refrigeration, the first step in proper egg handling, retards bacterial growth and maintains the quality of the eggs. Buy eggs at retail only from refrigerated cases and refrigerate them in their cartons, not in the little slots on the door, as soon as possible after purchase. The carton also helps to keep the eggs from picking up flavors from other foods. Today's home refrigerators are de signed to maintain a temperature of 40 degrees F. or below, a satisfactory temperature for eggs and other perishable foods. Do no leave eggs in any form at room temperature for more than two hours including preparation and service. Promptly after service, refriger-' ate leftovers in shallow containers so they will cool quickly. For picnics or outdoor parties, pack cold egg dishes with ice or commerical coolant in an insulated cooler or bag. Cleanliness Is Important Cleanliness of hands, Utensils, and work surfaces is essential in preventing cross-contamination. Use (hily clean, unbroken eggs. Discard dirty or broken eggs. 1 Avoid mixing the shell with the egg’s contents. Before they are packed, eggs are washed and sanitized. The process should remove most pathogenic bacteria from the surface of the shell, but some might remain in the pores, or the shell might be reinfected from other 1 sources. Eggs should not be rewashed before use-incorrect procedures might infect the contents. A bit of shell which falls into the broken out contents should be removed with a clean utensil, not with another piece of shell. Wash hands thoroughly , with soap and hot water before beginning food preparation. 1 Wash hands again, along with all ( utensils, equipment, and countertops that have been in contact with any raw food before preparing other foods. Use separate cutting boards for raw and cooked foods. Wash and sanitize them thoroughly after each use. Adequate Cooking Adequate cooking assures that egg dishes reach a temperature high enough to destroy any bacteria which may be present. Although there are certain visual indications for determining the doneness of any cooked dishes, the sing are sometimes difficulty to imterpret, particularly for inexperienced cooks. For some foods, the internal temperature is a critical safety factor and can be determined only by actual measurements. A realtively quick-read thermometer allows you to measure a food’s temperature easily and quickly. Salmonella organisms will not survive if held at a temperature of 1 140 degrees F. for 3-1/2 minutes or reach an end-point temperature of 160 degrees F. The internal temperatues of baked goods and hard-cooked eggs will easily reach more than 160 degrees F. by the time they are done. Quiches, bak£d costards, and most casseroles are done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. With some casseroles which are thick and heavy or cotltain cheese-lasagna, for example-it may be difficult to decide if the knife show uncooked egg or melted cheese. In such cases, a thermomenter is the only accurate test. Stirred custards, also known as soft custards, are done when the mixture coats a metal spoon. At this point, the mixture will be well above 160 degrees F. Eggnogs and homemade ice creams, often made with raw eggs, can easily be made safe by using a stirred custard base cooked until the mixture coats a metal spoon or reaches 160 degrees F. Chill well before freezing or service. Cook scrambled eggs, frittatas, omeletes, and French toast unti the eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. 7 Poached eggs in simmering water until the whites are completely set and the yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cook fried eggs slowly until the yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, covering with a lid or turning the eggs to cook both sides. For soft-cooked eggs, bring eggs and water to a boil. Turn off heat. Cover and let stand about 4 to 5 minutes. This week’s recipe is one from the Virginia Egg Council. It is for a Microwave Egg Dye as we approach the Easter season plus some hints for safe handling of eggs during an Easter egg hunt. Springtime Traditions 1/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon liquid food coloring 1 tablespoon vinegar Combine the above in a custard cup or styrofoam cup. Microwave on high for 1 1/2-2 minutes. Dye hard cooked eggs or blown shells as you would normally do. This dye can be reheated and reused. Coat colored eggs with a thin coat of vegetable oil for a shiney surface. Hints For Hunts: Wash hands thoroughly before cooking, cooling, dyeing and hiding. Store cooked eggs in their cartons in the refrigerator and don’t color or hide cracked eggs. When coloring, use water warmer than eggs and refrigerate in their cartons right after coloring and use food-grade dyes and coloring if planning to eat eggs. Hide eggs where they will not come in contact with animals, birds and lawn fertilizer. Refrigerate eggs after they are hidden and found, discarding any that are cracked or have been left out for more than two hours. Tips For Perfect Dyed Eggs Wash with mild detergent solution-color will adhere better. For richer colors, add white vinegar to dying solution. For blown shells-pierce both ends of egg, scramble inside with a toothpick, and blow through one end over a bowl. Use blown egg for a baked egg product. Wash inside of egg with a water/bleach solution, let dry and color away. Hard cooked eggs are easier for children to color, but make sure to refrigerate immediately if you plan to eat the eggs. Any eggs left out of refrigerate for more than a few hours should be discarded. Plan to use your hard cooked eggs within the week for salads, casseroles and just plain eating.

Volunteers Needed Virginia Cooperative Extension is offering a financial counseling service to train volunteers to assist families in managing their money. The training of volunteers will consist of five, three hour sessions beginning Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m., April 28 at the Culpeper Extension office, 101 S. West Street, Culpeper. Training topics enable counselors to assist families in managing credit, analyzing insurance coverage, budgeting and record keeping. They are taught counseling techniques and made aware of available community resources. Counselors are given case studies to solve throughout the training. In addition, they study the required handbook and become familiar with various work sheets that they will be using with client families. An in-service is given at least once a year. Counselors have a chance to put into practice the financial management techniques they learn at the training. An Extension home economist acts as a consultant to the counselor, and request for counseling are made through the Extension office. Counselors are encouraged to complete each case within six months or less. Most counselors are encouraged to complete each case within six months or less. Most counselors devote on to two hours a week meeting with one or two families, plus the time necessary to prepare for counseling sessions. To become a volunteer financial counselor and take part in this training, contact Christine Kastan at 9486881 or Helen Smith at 675-3619.

Starting Vegetable Transplants Indoors Home gardeners attempting to start their own vegetable transplants need to keep in mind four // points: 1) the time the plants are needed (or seeding dates), 2) potting soil or soil mix considerations, 3) tight, and 4) temperature. Timing of seeding dates: Most vegetable transplants except the curcurbit family (cucumbers, cataloupes, squash, and watermelons) need about six weeks from seeding until plants are ready to set out in the garden. Curcurbits only need three weeks and may even be seeded directly in the garden. Calculate the Time to Start Based on Planting Date Commonly, transplants are started far too early, perhaps as much as 12 to 14 weeks before the ideal garden planting date for that species. The resulting plants outgrow the container (both the root area available to the plant and the top area or space available to the transplant). The plants are in undesirable conditions such as being potbound, with the roots throughout the container plus completely encircling the outer edge of the potting soil, and tops that are spindly and weak due to crowded competition for light. It’s not difficult to calculate the proper time to start seeds. For example, if it’s safe to set out tomato plants in you area about May 10, then your tomato seeds should be sown indoors about the last week of March to April 1. This will provide a young, actively growing transplant, not overcrowded in the container and with a rootbaU still expanding and growing downward. Soil mix: Quite often gardeners or commerical growers try to sterilize their topsoil to produce vegetable transplant. It’s Din to be a do-ityourselfer, using only homegrown resources including garden soil, but the commerically prepared “artificaly soils” consisting of peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, and pine bark are lightweight, free from plant pests and soil-borne diseases, and drain very well. The result is far superior in performance compared to garden soil when placed in cell packs or other small transplant-growing containers. Light intensity: Many efforts at producing homegrown or windowsill transplants result in far less than the gardeners expectations because of poor light. Unless you have a solar room with overhead sunlight or a greenhouse, chances are your window light, except for brief periods on sunny days, is too shady. In late winter in Virginia, there generally is a low percentage of sunny days in succession. Most are cloudy, many are rainy or even snowy. Shady or one-sided, cloudy light coming through a window just is not enough to grown stocky vegetable transplants. Plants Need About 16 Hours Of Light a Day To do the job well, fluorescent lights placed about 12 inches above the seedling tray are required. The lights should be on a timer to provide 16 hours of bright light each 24hour period. Dual fluorescent tubes provide stronger and more uniform light than a single tube. One coolwhite and one warm-white fluorescent tube provide an excellent balance of usable light for photosynthesis. As plants sprout and grow under lights, the tubes should be raised to avoid producing too much heat too near the tops of the plants. Temperature: Fluorescent tubes emit a lot of warmth. To compensate for this warmth, keep plants growing on the cool side to promote stocky versus succulent growth. The best results may be accomplished by ' turning off, or turning to 55 F, all other heat in the room where your plants are started. A cool basement is an excellent area for starting plants under lights. If the warm room is used in which the normal air temperature is in the 70s, the addition of fluorescent growing lights over seedling trays will provide too warm an environment. The only exception to this rule is for the germination process. Temperature requirments for germination are quite different from “growing on” tempeatures. After good 80 F germination, 60 F is preferable for growing out most vegetable transplants to keep them stocky and healthy. Remember, until the seedlings begin to sprout, keep the containers covered with plastic, clear glass or even plastic wrap or waxed paper, to keep in warmth and moisture. Another fluorescent tube or a small lamp with a 75 watt incandescent light bulb, placed directly under the shelf supporting the flats provides perfect bottom heat to seeds without the bother and expense of heat cables. This gentle heat source should be turned off as soon as seeds begin to pop up. If not, seedlings will stretch from too much bottom heat. Transplant When Plant , Is Four Inches Tall When plants are about four inches tall, they are an excellent size to make the transplant with the least shock and for faster regrowth in the garden. Plants that are 10 to 12 inches tall will suffer more from the shock. When your plants have reached four inches in height and are wellbranched and stocky, they should be “hardened off” by reducing watering frequency and moving plants to an outdoor porch or coldframe for the final week before going into the garden. This will toughen them to the effects of wind and outside temperatures, and to the natural light/dark cycle. If an unexpected frost is forecast Kiove the plants back indoors under 16 hours of light, but keep the temperature at 55 to 60 degrees F if possible.
