Small Peach Crop Expected By CINDY MAHAN , Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer At an orchard meeting, sponsored by the Rappahannock County Extension Service at Mountain Green Farm outside Washington last Tuesday, Ross Byers, a professor of horticulture with the Virginia Tech fruit research center in Winchester, assessed the damage to the Sharps’ nectarine crop, and found that only two to three percent of the buds are alive. This is due to the extreme cold this past winter. He said, though, that even though the crop will be very small, “the fimit will probably be large and of good quality.” Dr. Byers also said that the peach and nectarine trees usually bloom here around April 15, but the trees appear to be too dormant right now to bloom by that date. Bryant Lee of Lee Orchards in Flint Hill said that a lot of buds have already fallen off his peach trees, and he expects a small crop this year. About one-fifth of his fruit crop is peaches. A pruning demonstration was given using one of the Sharps’ apple trees. Bryant Lee, Louis Moore Jr., and Alex Sharp assisted with the hands-on pruning. Dr. Ross said, “The most important thing is that you prune the tree. There are a lot of right ways. In most trees there is a center and you want to maintain the center. Take off the limbs that are broom handle size or bigger.” Dr. Robert Horsburgh, Professor of enromology at the fruit research center, briefly discussed gypsy moths. He said that orchardists should check their orchards twice daily for gypsy moth webs which blow down from the trees on mountains surrounding orchards. The webs contain the caterpillars, which begin munching on trees as soon as they land. He recommended spraying Dipel to control gypsy moths.

County To Lose Ag Agent Cuts In Extension Force Change By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Agricultural Extension Agent Scott Cunningham has resigned effective Thursday March 31, and it is unlikely he will be replaced any time soon. The Extension service received only $700,000 of $1.3 million in additional funding requested for this year and only $400,000 of a similar request for next year. If these requests had been funded, the Extension Service could have been maintained at current staffing levels, that is below the number of agents funded during the Robb and Bailies administrations. The General Assembly appropriates funds for the Extension Division separately from funds from the regular academic programs at Virginia Tech. From Extension Division funds officials at Virginia Tech allocate funds to the Virginia Cooperative Extension service, a public service fund for economic development in the state and continuing education programs that are mostly self-supporting. Cooperative Extension gets more than 80 percent of funds for the Extension Division, according to Dr. Clark Jones, an assistant to the director of extension in Richmong. Mr. Cunningham will be taking a job with Columbia Gas Transmissions in “the southern coalfield area” of West Virginia. He will be supervising a small staff maintaining pipeline rights of way and maintaining the grounds around the office. He said he went looking for another job when it became clear that his position would probably not be funded after the start of the new fiscal year July 1. He said when he and other young agents were hired they were told if cuts had to be made, priority area would be considered as well as se niority. However, he said, apparently this time only seniority is being considered. As one of the most recently hired, he was in the position of being one of the first who would be cut if layoffs are necessary. The only thing that would prevent lay“I thought it was a job I could be in until retirement,” —S. Cunningham offs would be if agents retire or resign or if localities pick up the costs of these positions. He said Rappahannock should be a high priority area because there have been only two agents doubling up to handle 4-H and because the county has established an Extension Leadership Council. He believes that should help the county get an agent after the position is vacant for a year or two. Mr. Cunningham said deciding to accept another job was very difficult for him. “This has been a great job,” he said. “It was my career objective, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working here with the farmers. “I’m sorry to back out so quickly. I had no plans for leaving. I thought it was a job I could be in until retirement, but that’s the breaks of working for the government,” he said. “I hope the county can see the need to make arrangements for funding ah agricultural agent should this situation happen again. With the potential for land development here, it’s important to have someone here who understands land issues and devel opment issues and can relate both to agriculture.” As a condition of his employment Mr. Cunningham was expected to move into the county within two years. He said he fully intended to buy a home here but could not make that move with his job so uncertain. “I hope people will keep contacting the extension office for assistance,” he said. Home economics agent Helen Smith said that when the position was last vacant, after Thomas Williams left to take a job with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and before Mr. Cunningham was hired, Jack Dunford, one of Culpeper's extension agents was in the Washington office one day a week. “I expect he will do that again,” she said. She said she and the volunteer staff will keep the 4-H program going. “We will definitely have day camp and overnight camp,” she said. “We will depend more on volunteer leaders to help with camp.” Volunteer leaders will continue to help with the several 4-H clubs in the county. “Any time there is a reduction in staff it will hurt the program, but we’ll try to keep everything covered the best we can,” she said. Reached in his Harrisonburg office State Sen. Kevin Miller R-26th said, “I was not aware that funding would not be available. I’m not sure what can be done if anything now.” He added, “Extension is something with a great deal of support among the legislators.” Mike Massie, Hampton District’s representative on the Board of Supervisors and a member of the Extension Leadership Council, said it’s hard to predict what the affect of being without an agriculture agent will be on county farmers. “We’ve gone See Agent, Page A-2 The American Farmland Trust believes that many acres of farmland will be lost to development if \ Disney builds the ; / proposed theme \ Pi Generally Agricultural Lands Urban & Built Up Mountains and Major Forests Permanently Protected Rural Lands Source: American Farmland Trust.

Rescheduled from the original March date due to area snow storms, the Rappahannock races will be held this Sunday at Thornton Hill Farm in Sperryville. Post time is set for 1:30 p.m. The revamped race-card will keep year-end, Virginia point-to point series events even and also addresses horsemen’s wishes for this hillside course in the middle of the jumping season. Both flat races and timber events reflect the quality of the Thornton Hill course as it relates to giving sanctioned runners a start before they attempt monied ’chasing as the National Steeplechase Association circuit begins. Leading timber conditioner Charlie Fenwick Jr. has six entered at Rappahannock, including last year’s champion timber horse Free Throw in the ladies’ timber contest. Owner-rider timber leader Topeador may have things his own way this week in Sperryville, as but a pair of challengers are entered against the Chilean-bred gelding. Let’s Tango and Moseby have their work cut out for them with this multiple winner over the rolling course. Pony races open the day’s action, with a 5/8ths sprint and a novice timber rounding out the card. Closing the program is the ever-popular hound race, open to all hound owners in the area. Recognized hunt clubs are not eligible, however, leaving the field open to private and farm packs. A drag is laid for hounds to follow around the racecourse.

"The key thing is the General Assembly can fine $164 million for Disney and can’t find enough money for Rappahannock to have an extension agent. The state’s priorities have gotten mixed up.” He said the extension service has taken more than its share of cuts from Richmond. “Extension has been singled out, whether by the legislature, the governor or Virginia Tech, we have to find out. “Virginia Tech can say Richmond didn’t give us the money, and the state government can say we gave /them the money, but Tech spent it on something else,” he said. “That way they can shuffle off responsibility.” , He said as a member of the Extension Leadership Council “I wasn’t aware that Scott was getting signals about finding another job.” TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT REPAIRS I ALSO: LAWN & GARDEN I • Minor work done on site Reasonable Rates | Call Jay Childrey 703-675-1684 %appafiannoc/<iCountry Suppers to Benefit The Child Care & Learning Center Saturday, JAprit30,1994 $25.00 per person donation 6:00 ■ 7:00 pm Cocktails & (tors doeuvres at the Center 7:00 'Dinner at Individual Olost & 'Hostess homes Tor more information contact CCLC at 675-3237 Yes!

Kevin Miller "I had a good feeling about extension and the amount of funding.” “I was greatly disappointed by the whole thing,” he said. Mr. Massie noted that both Mr. Cunningham and former agent Thomas Williams had extensive backgrounds in both apples and beef cattle, the county’s principal crops. “We were very fortunate,” he said. “That combination is kind of unique to our area in the northern piedmont.” Dr. Jesse Judy, district director in the northern district in Luray, said that because of previous cuts in extension operating costs were already low, and there was nothing left to cut but positions. He said it is still not known if Mr. Cunningham’s position would have been cut since he does not yet know what other agents will be leaving due to retirement or finding other jobs. “Individuals who were recently hired, such as Scott, were aware of the situation, and we have advised them to make decisions based on what is best for them and their families,” he said. In our surrounding counties Page and Warren have two agents. Madison County has two agents and splits a third with Orange County. Fauquier and Culpeper counties each have three agents funded by the state, but each of those counties is paying 100 percent of the cost for a fourth agent, Dr. Judy said. He said if extension continues to receive cuts it may not be possible to try to maintain two agents as a minimum in each county unless the counties are willing to bear more of the cost. Arts Groups Plan Meeting The challenges faced by various local arts groups recently has rekindled an interest in forming a community arts council or umbrella organization. Lois Manookian will host an open meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 14 to discuss the prospect of developing or reorganizing an agency with a mission to accomplish the following: • Nurture all the local art groups and some other community activities which fit with arts and education. • Provide a facility, where appropriate and necessary. • Provide support such as office services to eliminate some costly duplication. • Publish a consolidate mailer to advertise arts events and offerings of various arts groups. • White grants and develop substantial funding from the NEA and/or private foundations who are interested in rural community arts organization. Each arts organization is encouraged to discuss this proposal among their membership and appoint a speaker to represent their views at the meeting.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Girl Scouts Dawn Havstad, Kylene Wolfe, Shannon Meredith, Leslie Norman, Fran Overdorf, Hollyann Gangel, Katie Zindel and Marie Andreoni received Silver Award certificates and pins in a ceremony at the elementary school Friday. Girl Scouts Recognize Eight j ■ . i By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi SUIT Writer Eight Girl Scouts were pre~ sented with their Silver Awards in a ceremony at the elementary school Friday. For most of them this was the culmination of three years work. It was the first time since 1981, when Debbie Helmer and Dawn Watson were presented with their First Class awards, that county Girl Scouts had achieved such a high level. In 1981 First Class was the highest achievement a Girl Scout could earn. Now some of the girls who received the Silver Award can aspire to receiving the Gold Award. To earn the Silver Award, the girls had to complete the requirements for three “Interest Project” patches, somewhat similar to Boy Scout merit badges. As a troop the girls worked on “Troop Camping,” “Dabler in the Arts,” “Orienteering,” “Fashion, Fitness and Makeup,” “Invitation to the Dance,” and “Folk Arts.” Individually some of the girls worked on requirements for awards in “Pet Care,” “Sports,” “Reading,” “Creative Cooking,” and “Collecting.” Most of the girls have more than the minimum of three patches. A second requirement was to complete requirements for the Dreams to Reality patch. For that career exploration project, the girls did research on careers that interested them, interviewed women working in various fields, learned about pay ranges and educational requirements for several careers, and Make Some Bunny Happy.

A third requirement was to earn the Silver Leadership pin. The girls were required to log 25 hours serving in a leadership capacity as members of their troop, in school clubs, or in community organizations. A fourth requirement was to complete the Cadette Girl Scout Challenge. It had five parts. The girls did activities on personal development, relating to others, developing values, learning about Girl Scouting, and world citizenship. For* each section there was required reading, and then the girls could choose from several activities to demonstrate their acceptance of the challenge. A final requirement was to work on a major project to benefit the community. The girls worked with the elementary school PTO to develop a child care program so parents could attend meetings and carry out PTO activities. They also helped put up and change, depending on the season, the PTO bulletin board in the school cafeteria. Sally Havstad, Lelo Wolfe, Nina Norman and Cindy Andreoni worked with the girls for the past four years helping them achieve the Silver Award. Now four of the girls, Holly Gangel, Kylene Wolfe, Dawn Hawstad and Fran Overdorf, have embarked on the project of earning the Girl Scout Gold Award. Leaders Sally Havstad and Lelo Wolfe are hoping to go all the way to the gold with these girls. The awards ceremony for the ROOF REPAIRS & CARPENTRY • Slate • Shingles • Metal Also: Painting 703-635-3692 older girls was held with a “Thinking Day” program for Girl Scouts of all ages. Each troop took a country and told something about it. Some of the girls had made costumes; some performed dances; some made posters or displayed objects from the chosen country. These activities were followed by refreshments that included snack foods from around the world. Court Deals With Two In Rappahannock County Circuit Court last Friday, Kenneth Ivar Jacobs, 30, of Castleton, pleaded guilty to trespassing and grand larceny. Mr. Jacobs was indicted on March 14 for trespassing on the property of Robert Smith and stealing several automobile parts. He must report to the Rappahannock County jail on April 5 for DNA testing, and will be sentenced on June 20. Robert Adam Love, 20, of Sperryville, who is serving 90 days in jail for stealing firearms, asked Judge Selwyn Smith if he could be let out of jail on work release. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said that he opposed this because Mr. Love’s jail sentence is part of a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, and restitution in the amount of $300 had not been paid in full at the proper time. Judge Smith told Mr. Love, “I think you need to stay in jail to see what jail is all about. ” INCOME TAX PREPARATION RcasonabU Rate* Specializing in Individual; farm, and (mall business returns.

Because three-fourths of the state money is designated for books and subscriptions, the board voted to reduce funding for books by $1,468, leaving $13,470 for books and subscriptions. The rest of the reduction came from furnishings. That line item was cut from $1,000 to $515. The state’s appropriations for libraries is supposed to be based partly on county funding, and full funding for the county under the formula would have been about $25,000. That is based on the county share in the 1992-93 fiscal year. The county's appropriation increased in the 1993-94 fiscal year. Although the library will be getting slightly more money from the state next year, $17,960 compared to $16,165 in the current budget, the state seems to fall farther and farther behind in meeting its share. With the board’s action the total amount of the budget was reduced by $1,753. The board is still requesting $50,781 from the county. ' The board adopted “in principal” a landscape design prepared by Warrenton landscape architect Meade Palmer for the entrance. Member Mary Jamieson presented a drawing showing how the entrance would look, and members were very enthusiastic but concerned about the cost. The board authorized buildings and grounds committee chairman Frank Warner to work with others and put up a partition separating the furnace area from other storage space in the basement. Member Roberta Anderson reported finding cardboard boxes stored “on top of the furnace” containing plastic packaging. “This is serious,” she said. The board agreed to use wire in constructing the partition for air circulation. Member John Hartline agreed to periodically check the area for safety. i Chairman William Young noted that the air handler room also presents problems with storage. “It’s no fire hazard,” he said, “but there is an endless amount of stuff.” The board agreed to try to remove much of this stuff and donate it to an auction or flea market to take it to the landfill. Mr. i Warner’s suggested the board consider a storage building in back of the main building, but other board members did not like the idea. Dr. Young suggested, if necessary, the board could consider storing items in various homes, but he said first they needed to get rid of things that are not needed.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30,1994 . ? ■ Extension Agents Apparently because Rappahannock has a young, less experienced agricultural agent, we will lose him, even though this leaves our extension office with only one agent. a The budget for the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service was cut by about $500,000. The extension service says that it will try to make cuts through attrition, but if that doesn’t reduce the budget enough, the least experienced agents will be laid off. As a result Scott Cunningham, Rappahannock’s agricutural agent felt he had to look for another job. With a wife and two young children he did not feel he could take the chance on being without a job starting July 1. Meanwhile other counties have three or more agents, and there does not seem to be any thought of offering one of these agents to Rappahannock County. We are truly sorry to lose Mr. Cunningham. He has won many friends in the county. His supervision of the pesticide cleanup last summer was a gigantic service to the county. Local farmers have found him helpful and accessible. Mr. Cunningham shared with home economics agent1 Helen Smith responsibility for overseeing the county’s 4-H program. Mrs. Smith assures us that the 4-H program will continue. There will be day camp and resident camp for for county youth this summer. The many county 4-H clubs will continue with their volunteer leaders. The county extension office will continue to assist farmers, referring them to experts when necessary. A more senior agent from one of the surrounding counties will probably be in the Washington office once a week. We wish Mr. Cunningham success and happiness in his new job. We will miss his gentle manner and genuine concern for Rappahannock’s land, farmers and youth. . But, frankly, we’re angry that once again our small rural county is forced to take the brunt of state fiscal woes.i !. 1 Library Funding The $9,076 increase in county funds requested by the Library Board is a large increase in percentage terms, but hardly a large increase in dollars. If it is granted the county will be spending $50,781 for library services, less than one cent of the tax rate. Most of the increase is to continue the services of an employee who was hired using state grant funds to help in the computerization of library records. While the grant funds will run out, the need will not. Library director Nicki Lynch has said she finds employee’s service very valuable. Most library patrons and volunteers agree. We agree and hope the Board of Supervisors will approve the library’s budget. However, we also feel that some time soon the Library Board needs to look at the way the library is staffed. Mrs. Lynch is employed full time. With the additional position, the library is also employing three people on a part-time basis. Added together the three cover 56 hours a week. It might make better sense to employ two people full time, to offer two reasonably decent jobs instead of one decent job and three piddling ones. We believe this can be done without an increase to the budget. sfe>£ ■'?. time machine From rhe Rappahannock News back when: * W' amMmSm 30 YEARS AGO March 26,1964 Hounds will be cast at 9 a.m. sharp on Saturday, March 28 when members of the Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association hold their spring hunt!

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Malm * / . . to the Editor Community Thanked To the Editor: Spring Mountain School was formed in 1987 to provide a service for our community, that is, to offer quality education to our children. In return, our school has always j been directly dependent on the support of that community. Our Waldorf-based curriculum provides our children with a unique and caring educational experience reflecting the unique and caring nature of our community and Rappahannock County. We scheduled our first annual fundraising auction. We sent our requests for donations to our friends and neighbors and their response was tremendous. Items to be auctioned literally poured in right up to Saturday afternoon including the beautiful antique furniture from Mary Simmons and the wonderful beach house of Dianna and Lee Bird. Our parents banded together to organize, publicize, decorate and provide food for the event. The Board of Directors heartily thanks all those involved, both contributors and volunteers, and sends a special thank you to Stella Cadwalader and Becky Parrish for all the long hours and hard work it took to make the evening a success. It is always a joy to invite the community into our school and the turnout Satuday night was everything we had hoped for. We easily reached our goal of $10,000 enabling our teachers to further enrich their education and the school to begin a scholarship fund. So we extend a warm thank you to all of our community and promise you to use your support to continue offering the best education to our children we can. Thank you. BETHANY C. CRAIG President of the Board of Directors Spring Mountain School People Want Congressmen To Work To the Editor: The people of the United States are entitled to have their Congress do the work we hired them for. We need jobs, health-care reform, campaign reform, welfare reform and a tough and smart crime bill. Republicans in Congress seem to want to spend their time and energy complaining about President and Mrs. Clinton. They should get on with the nation’s business or, get out of the way. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria Republican Meeting Is A Fiasco To the Editor The Republican Party here met on March 21 to select delegates to a State nominating convention in June. In the written notice or “call’ for this meeting it was clear persons wishing to be delegates had to pay a fee by the time of the meeting. In fact, the deadline I was given to work toward was March 10. This seemed reasonable if one is serious about good government. At the meeting a number of would be delegates, it turned out, had not paid the fee. But for various reasons the party leaders favored their doing so, late as it might be. A judgement by a so-called “parliamentarian” was rendered in favor of the wishes of the party leadership. In doing, so he travialized the proceedings, an affair that was replete with unseemly levity in any case. The bias of the persons running the meeting was unmistakable. In most situations of this kind the presiding officals at least attempt a show of impartiality, but not in this case. Much is made of the fact that in American elections half the voters don’t vote. Given that fiasco I intend to join them. In order to enfrachise people of this persuasion the Libertarian Party suggested the last line on any ballot should read “None of The Above.” If “None of The Above” wins, the position is not filled. Some of us are convinced that America would survive a surprising amount of this. Indeed, it would be no worse than the kind of government propogated by last Monday night’s hijinks. GEORGE H. SHARP Washington School Prayer Supported To the Editor: Wake up Americans! Evil is marching in its heavy boots up and down across our land. Evil comes masquerading as good and as a protector of our civil liberties while its underlying purpose is destruction of our civil liberties. Division is encouraged and exploited between ethnic groups, color of skin, economic condition, religious beliefs-you name it. As long as we can be persuaded to fight each other we cannot join together against a common enemy. Look back, what was the basis for our moral standards some years ago? The props were knocked out from under us when the gag rule against God was imposed in our public schools. Kick Clod out and man can set up any standards he choses. He can change these standards whenever it is convenient for his agenda. Take a look at many of the court cases the ACLU is defending against Christians who are U.S. citizens. We are coming up again to graduation time in our schools and colleges. Are we going to buckle under again to the ACLU because we might be sued for honoring our God for His goodness and mercy? Are we going to allow the ACLU, or any other such organization, to be our derision maker? Choose you this day whom you will serve! (Joshua 24:15) LIBBY WHETZEL Washington Safe Haven Supported To the Editor. I am writing in response to the editorial I read in the March 23 issue of the Rappahannock News regarding Operations Safe Haven. According to this editorial, the grant provided for Operation Safe Haven will not be continued in the next school year and .1 am greatly disturbed by this prospect. Surely the parents in Rappahannock County are not aware of the extent of services provided by this grant or there would be a much greater response for its support. As a parent of a high school child and an employee of Family Guidance Services, I have been exposed to the great many problems facing our school children today. Many parents are not aware of the seriousness of these problems. Every child is touched in some way by them. This grant provides the funding for positions which are desperately needed in our school system. Susan Fox, At Risk coordinator; Kim Harris, social worker; Dave van de Graaff, ISS Instructor; and Dawn Bare, Administrative Aide have been working very closely with our * children, and with great success in helping our children with a variety of problems. These people are trained to recognize potential problems with studnets. They provide conseling and friendship to allow the children to trust adults. They help prevent students from dropping out of school, provide education on substance abuse (a much larger problem than parents realize) and help counsel students on stress managements, peer pressure, self-esteem and many other problems our children face today. I have seen the results first hand of the services provided by Oepration Safe Haven, and I am absolutely sure than it is necessary for our school students. The program is working! We need it for our students. I am sure that if this grant is not continued, our children will suffer greatly. PATTI LANNING \ Boston Another Supporter Speaks Up To the Editor: I would like to take issue with Chairman Massie’s statement in the * March 23 Rappahannock News “That is a fact of life. It is a constant battle that will continue until the general public values education.” Why do you think so many people are home schooling or sending tKfeir children to private school? Not because they value the hassle of driving distances to take their children to school or the hassle of having their children home all day. Hotne schooling mothers get very littfe time off. It is because they see that public education is not doing the job and they fear for their children’s future. ! ' Public education should speak to all the various needs in the education of our children. However, if one looks at all the studies done by the various foundations in this countfy, public education seems to value gadgetry and mediocrity more than anything else. Perhaps the tax payers out here will be more interested when *we hear about good programs being added instead subtracted. Yes, I know the school board promised the Supervisors not to ask for funding for the Safe Haven program. Can't you just say, we blew it and this is too important to let go? I cannot imagine what will happen to the drop our rate if this program is ended. What will happerCto all those young people who rely 'pp someone to guide them in coping with school, a less than perfect home environment, and peer pressure? Who will remind these young peopip that you go nowhere without at lefqt a high school diploma? Who will encouraged them to go on to higher education? Granted teachers are dofitlg some of this, but there is a level qf need that requires a Susan Fox assisting teachers in these endeavors.It simply defies explanation as tp why our School Board and the administration is not out on the husiings selling this program to the public. We do not have any children in this school system. Our only chfijl is a grown man, but there must be others like us who see the value «f such a program and may be willing to add a few cents to the tax burdejp to pay for it. j While we must pay for school additions and better sewage treatment, none of these will be worth anything if our at risk children, and in this day and age nearly all children are at risk, cannot seek thfe help they need to complete their e<|ucation.

Marshall's Portrait Show Opens This Weekend Old and New Works Featured II By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Many familiar faces will be in attendance at Laurie Marshall’s opening at the Middle St. Gallery on April 2, either in person or hanging on the walls. It will be a show of friends and for friends. Ms. Marshall’s one-woman show will be a retrospective of portraits which she has produced since she moved to Rappahannock County with her husband Rex Slack in 1976. Some old favorites will be included in this show, such as paintings she has done of Clarence Dearing and Fannie Starks. Both paintings capture the subject in a light which shows Ms. Marshall’s love and respect for them; they make you want to know them better. Some other portraits in the show will be of Pauline and Jack Bruce, Nan Reddick, Willie Bell Dunn, Ms. Marshall’s family members, including Pete, the dog. Ms. Marshall will be exhibiting two new paintings, both completed this month. “The Sum is Greater than the Total of the Parts” is a painting of her mother, who recently passed away. The painting includes images of her mother as a child, as a young mother (holding Ms. Marshall as a baby), and as a mature woman. The other new painting is entitled “The Resurrection Door”, a portrait of a classical dancer from India. Both paintings are done in the style of collage. Ms. Marshall says, “I draw upon collage in my paintings. Collage is putting images from different sources into one place. You can create different meanings by doing this.” She also says that her r style of painting has been inspired by Renaissance paintings which consist of a large central image surrounded by little paintings around the edge. i A special part of Ms. Marshall’s gallery opening will be a reading of some of her recent writings about the people in the show, “Stories From the Dust in the Comer,” at 4 p.m. These stories will be read by Tutt Harris and Nan Reddick. In the fall, they will be the subject of a dance performance at Sally Nash’s Workspace for Choreographers in Sperryville. Ms. Marshall has been working on some of these paintings as an artist-in-residence at Rappahannock County Elementary School. She sets up the painting in the hallway on her easel, and while painting, children can come up and watch her paint and ask questions. Ms. Marshall received her undergraduate degree from Antioch College in History and Education and received her master’s degree in Community Art from Beacon College. She has studied painting at the Art Students’ League in New York and also from her artist husband, Rex Slack. She is one of the founding members of Middle St. Gallery. Ms. Marshall teaches art history and fine arts at the Fauquier Center of Lord Fairfax Community College. She also has put on several visual learnings workshops for Polaroid. Her art has been shown in New York, Washington, D.C., and is included in collections in Colombia, Md., the former Yugoslavia, South Africa and New York.

WCDS Banquet Is a Riot of Activities By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer To welcome spring, students and friends at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly held a glorious feast Monday, a Medieval Banquet complete with lords and ladies, kings and queens, knights and their squires, wenches and jesters. The main hall at WCDS was decorated appropriately for the Middle Ages festivities and games. Nearly everyone dressed in medieval costume, be it flowing velvet robes, tall conical hats with gossamer veils, or a court jester outfit. After the King and Queen, their court, and the Queen of Love and Beauty were introduced by the Bishop (Headmaster Schantz) and Pamela Lynn, the games and revelries began with gusto. Some of these games were to measure strength; others measured skill. They also were designed to prepare one for one of the ultimate test of both: jousting. Many decided to test their skill at pushing their opponent off a balance beam with quarter staves. This seemed to be the most popular game of all. Another was the jousting, complete with shields and armor. Or one could try to balance a masher while balancing on a beam. After much merrymaking, the revelers gathered together for a judging of the costumes. Separated by grade level, the students, then the adults, paraded in front of the judges. The winners received wooden backscratchers. Next came the banquet. Everyone lined up, using a piece of wood as a plate. In keeping with the Middle Ages, no utensils or napkins were available. The serving table was piled high with food which would have been served in the Middle Ages. There was beef, other meats, f deviled eggs, potatoes, green beans, huge round loaves of bread, cheeses, grapes and strawberries. There was no mead or wine, but a fruit drink was refreshing. Cakes and nuts were available for dessert. Near the end of dinner, the famous pancake races were held. The pancakes, about four inches in diameter, had been made from flour, water and oil, so they would not fall apart easily. The racers were to hold a pancake on a small spoon and race t<) the finish. They were required to round a 90 degree bend which sent many racers skidding on the floor.' Pancakes flew through the air. There was much laughter, and everyone seemed to really eiyoy this. A solemn “dubbing of squires of worth” came next. Four lucky young men were a part of this ceremony, one of them being Jacob Konick from Rock Mills. i After a quick clean-up, several skits and plays were performed by the students, to the enjoyment of all. Certainly everyone in attendance looks forward to next year’s Medieval Banquet. Therese O’Herron and Casey Longyear share a giggle. David Brandt ballences himself and a masher. 1 i Library Will Host Program on Strange Crop Circles Is it still a mystery? “It is a major scientific problem. If even one of the circle makers is not a hoax we’ll have to re-think everything,” explained one expert, “and there are thousands.” Harvesting of the food supply has been interfered with for more than a decade in England, and increasingly elsewhere in the world, by an undetected intrusion into our environment. During the period more than 3,000 “crop circles” have been created in grain crops in at least 30 countries. About 80 percent of these have been concentrated in a small area of the United Kingdom. And yet, no one has ever been arrested for “willful damage.” No one. Isn’t that odd? F riday Night at the Library, at 8 p.m. April 8, Bob Scott will present a program that will summarize what has been learned about this challenging international phenomenon during the past few years. For a few weeks in 1992 the global media gave wide-spread attention to Dave Chorley and Douglas Bower, described as “two elderly landscape painters” who stomped down wheat for the TV cameras like a pair of grim reapers and claimed to have been the perpetrators of a gigantic jest. That media blitz was supposed to provide the final solution for all time to the Crop Circle Mystery. But Dave and Doug actually admitted to making only one percent of the total formations. Neither do they come close to representing the very high intellectural profile of the Super Hoaxers, whoever they may be. “We will not try to solve the mystery. In fact, the mystery may become even more mysterious. But it will be intriguing. You can become instant experts on a very interesting subject,” promised Bob Scott who has assembled a series of short videos, some of which have never before been shown to any public audience. <. A short exerpt from the Fox Network program Sightings will present a group of experts including Colin Andrews, an English engineer who has visited more “crop patterns” than any other researcher; Michael Green, archeologist and architecture historian; John Macnish, British film producer; Rupport Sheldrake, biologist and author; Dr. N.C. Levengood, American scientist; our own Dr. Gerald S. Hawkins of Woodville and George Wingfield, Director of Crop Circle Studies in England. The TV host is Tim White! formerly news anchor for Channel 5. “The mystery may become even more mysterious.” —Bob Scott A second video clip presents a portion of a documentary interviewing Colin Andrews and showing interesting details of a variety of “crop circles,” some as large as 400 feet across. The unusual effects of these mysterious energies on living grain stalks and seeds has puzzled scientific researchers. The concluding video is an exclusive interview with Dr. Hawkins that wll stimulate an appreciation for the scientific process when applied to finding a credible explanation for these unprecedented phenomena. Dr. Hawkins recalls, “The first clue I found among the crop circles in 1990 was a great surprise, the ratios of music. I analyzed the entire sample of circles accurately measured between 1981 and 1988 and out of a total of 18, 11 gave diatonic ratios. Was the first point of the intellectual profile (of the hoaxers) a knowledge of the diatonic scale?” Dr. Hawkins was also interested to discover that the circle makers seemed to have a sense of humor. As always, refreshments will be served following the question and answer period. There is no charge for Friday Nighys at the Library. moio oy Dusiy t ayior/centre ior L.rop circle studies from science News This elaborate 200-foot pattern was created during the night of July 17,1991, in a wheat field.

The twenty-five members RCHS Band began with a “warm-up march” entitled “The Challenger” by John Kinyon. Their competitive selections were “Two Sketches for Band” by John Edmondson and “White River Canyon” by John Higgins. They were critiqued in the areas of tone, balance, intonation, technique, musical effect, and inter pretation. The three judges awarded the RCHS Band with an overall score of a “I,” a superior rating.” Next, the band was given a sightreading selection. The band director and her students had seven minutes to review the piece of music without playing. They performed the selection and were again awarded a superior rating.
