Congressman Frank Wolf, R-lOth District, came by the Rappahannock News building last Tuesday to ask “What’s new?” and heard the Aileen plant is to shut down in early October. By Wednesday he was at the plant talking with employees about helping them get new jobs. He said he would organize a job fair at a public place and invite companies with job openings to come and conduct interviews. By the weekend the job fair had been scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday September 14 at the Amissville Fire Hall. Rep. Wolf said the job fair would be for anyone who is looking for a job, not just Aileen employees. He said that similar job fairs had been successful in helping people put out of work by the planned closing of Vint Hill Farm Station. “I hope we get companies with more jobs than there are people here,” he said. 1 He admitted some might not be able to find jobs as good as they had at Aileen, but others might find better jobs, he said. “Will these be companies with jobs overseas?” one woman asked. The women at the plant let Rep. Wolf know they did not want to work for a company that sent jobi 1 See Aileen, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Rep.

BZA Approves Residential Care Home in Amissville By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Nm Staff Writer Last Wednesday Terri and John Diley of AmissviUe received a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals to operate a residential care facility in their home. The Dileys application was tabled for a month by the Planning Commission the week before. However, the BZA decided to hear the case at their meeting and accepted the application. The Dileys plan to have no more than five full-time elderly residents at their home. Mr. Diley said, “We want to restore dignity in the lives of these people, provide home-cooked meals and personal attention.” The Dileys said they do not plan on caring for Alzheimer’s patients or others who require around-the-clock care. Mrs. Diley is not a nurse, but has been caring for elderly people for over ten years. She said that a woman at Warrenton Overlook, a nursing home, said that she could “keep it filled” for us. BZA member Jennifer Matthews asked how wide the doors were, and Mrs. Diley told her they were three feet wide, and that everything frould comply with ADA (American Disability Act) requirements. Ms. Matthews also inquired if the Dileys had a security system to alert them if someone wandered off the grounds. Mr. Diley responded that they are putting in a security system which would tell them if a door were opened. He also said they would have floodlights. Steven and Mary Slade, neighbors of the Dileys, raised concerns about the Dileys’ facility being a commerical enterprise in a purely agricultural zoning area. Mr. Slade said, “We do not want to see all-night floodlighting.” v The Slades also said that they would not want a sign for the facility to go on any property other than the Dileys, as they share a See BZA, Page A-6 Crashed Plane Found in Park Five Die in Accident By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer They were headed home to Ohio after vacationing at Nags Head, N.C. when their plane slammed into the side of Compton’s Peak in Shenandoah National Park. The Peoples’ family, consisting of parents William H. and Mary, their daughter Nicole, 4, and two children Nicholas, 13, and Nathaniel, 11, children from his previous marriage, made their last stop Aug. 16 at Shannon Airport near Fredericksburg to refuel their 1966 Piper Cherokee. The wreckage was not found until Aug. 24. According to Virginia State Trooper C. Wayne Sumner, theisite of the crash was at about 2,700 feet up Compton’s Peak above the Skyline Drive in Rappahannock County about 12 miles south of Front Royal. The plane crashed about midpoint between Compton Gap and Jenkins Gap. Trooper Sumner also said that bad weather prevailed on Aug. 16 and 17, which was backlash from the hurricane which hit Georgia. “It was very overcast and foggy,” he said. Apparently the plane exploded on impact, and the bum area was 60 by 100 feet. He also said that the last time the plane was spotted on radar was at 1:46 p.m. on Aug. 16. Mr. Peoples had a private pilot’s license for a single engine airplane, but he was not qualified to fly by instrument flight rules (IFR), according to Linda Whitfield of the Airman and Aircraft Registry in Oklahoma City. If qualified to fly IFR; a pilot can fly through many kinds of weather, such as fog, that other pilots not so qualified steer clear of. Mr. Peoples had been licensed since May 1990, but he had not renewed the medical exam, which expired on June 5, 1993. Private pilots are required to undergo a medical exam every two years. Ms. Whitfield said, however, that her computer records may have a six to eight week delay, and it is possible that Mr. Peoples did indeed have the required medical exam, and may have completed training for an instrument flight rating. Mr. Peoples had not filed a flight plan for their trip home, which made the search for them all the more difficult. According to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) head investigator Beverly Johnson, flight plans are not required to be filed, though it is a good practice to do so. Robert Stanley, one of the airport managers at Shannon Airport, said that he had refueled the Peoples’ plane at about 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 16. He said the weather there that day was cloudy, and it had rained earlier in the day. He did not recall Mr. Peoples discussing any of his flight plans. Because of the absence of a flight plan, it took eight days to locate the plane. According to Robbie Brockwehl, an information officer of the National Park Service, The Civil Air Patrol had been searching for the plane since it was reported missing, and finally located it on Compton’s Peak last Wednesday about lp.m. „ She said that once it was discovered that the Peoples had refueled in Fredericksburg, the FAA and Virginia Department of Emergency Services determined that the plane may have crashed in Shenandoah National Park. Ms. Brockwehl said that 50 people were involved in the search, including the Appalachian Search and Rescue Conference, the Virginia Department of Emergency Services, U.S. Park Police and other park service personnel, the NTSB and i others. The bodies of all five victims were carried out from the crash site at 1 p.m. last Thursday.

New Teachers Prepare for the Start of School By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer New teachers have had a week of orientation to the Rappahannock School system and are eager for the new year to begin. Charles Way will be teaching fifth grade, language arts and social studies. He has four years experience teaching fifth grade in the St. Frances School in central Pennsylvania. He said he came to Rappahannock because he wanted to be in a rural school system. He has an apartment in Washington. He has a BS in elementary education from Mansfield State University in northern Pennsylvania. “I’m very impressed,” he said. “I’ve met nothing but nice people, and the scenery is the stuff I’ve seen in calendars...I feel lucky to be in a system like this.” Christina Delobe will teach the alternative education program at the elementary school unless kindergarten enrollment requires a fifth section. She will also assist with varsity cheerleading and sponsor the Junior Panther cheerleaders. She grew up in Fairfax County and graduated with a BS in psychology from Longwood College in Farmville last year. She had student teaching experience with “at-risk” students. She said she is enthusiastic about the alternative education program. “It’s unusual to have that at the elementary level,” she said. “I’m optimistic; it’s a worthwhile program,” she said. She said she also had come to Rappahannock because she wanted to get away from the urban atmosphere in Fairfax. Elizabeth Tower will teach gifted and talented students at both schools, but she said she will be working mainly in the elementary school and acting as a resource teacher at the high school, providing for independent study. Once the addition is completed at the elementary school, she will have her own room. Until then she will be visiting classes, working with students in regular classes and planning for her program. She grew up in a rural area of New York and graduated from West Virginia University. She said she began working towards a masters degree in special education but plans to get one in gifted education. She taught pre-school children while working towards her masters. She said she feels comfortable in Rappahannock County. “It’s a lot like home to me,” she said. Siuan-Gau Krueger will be the school system’s social worker, working at both schools. She has an undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin at Eau Clair and a masters in social work from the Uni versity of Iowa in Iowa City. She is also a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia. For the past nine years she worked for the Community Services Board. She said she wanted the challenge of doing something different and has worked with the Rappahannock school See Teachers, Page A-f> Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan New school employees line up in front of a school bus.

Households who are notified of their eligibility, but who do not want their children to receive free meals must contact the school.

Drug Charge Yields To Plea Agreement By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer In Rappahannock County Circuit Court this week, Randall Linden Ramey, 23, of Rixeyville, was sentenced to 13 years, with five years to serve. Through a plea agreement, Mr. Ramey was sentenced to ten years in the penetentiary for distribution of a Schedule II drug, PCP, to a minor who was at least three years younger than him; two years for possession of PCP; and 12 months in jail for possession of a concealed // weapon. All was suspended except five years of the first charge. Mr. Ramey had first entered into a plea agreement with the Commonwealth in December, 1993, but Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson rejected the plea agreement in March, stating that he felt that anything less than a 10 year sentence would be inappropriate. When Judge Robertson rejected the plea agreement, Mr. Ramey then pled not guilty and was expecting a trial this week. However, Judge Selwyn Smith felt that the original plea agreement was binding on the court and decided to accept it and sentenced Mr. Ramey. “This was a difference of opinion between judges,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. Mr. Ramey could have received maximum sentences of 50 years and a fine of $100,000 for the distribution to a minor charge; 10 years and a fine of $2,500 for the possession charge; and 12 months in jail and a fine of $2,500 for the concealed weapon charge. Mr. Luke said that one reason for his plea agreement with Mr. Ramey was that he felt that the co-defendant in the case, one of two other people with Mr. Ramey when he was arrested, may be an unreliable witness. The third person with Mr. Ramey has since become his wife, and could not be called to testify against him. Mr. Ramey had been stopped by Deputy Williams of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office on Route 618 in Castleton in February, 1993. One of the people in the vehicle with him was a minor who Mr. Ramey was charged with distributing PCP to. That juvenile, 16 years old, was later convicted in juvenile court of possession of PCP and marijuana, and he is now on probation. According to Mr. Luke, the mother of the juvenile told him that getting caught W88 the best thing that ever happened to her son; that he was now doing much better. Upon release from the penetentiary, Mr. Ramey will be on supervised probation for three years. During that time, he must violate no laws, submit to alcohol and drug testing, and pay the court costs within six months. If he violates these terms of his probation, he could end up batik in the penetentiary to serve the suspended portion of his sentence. i Assistant Librarian Resigns After 8 Years Storage, Computers and Driveway Concern Board By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Elizabeth Jones has resigned as assistant librarian to have more time to work towards her masters degree in library science. The Library Board accepted her resignation at last Thursday’s meeting. Mrs. Jones has been a part-time assistant librarian for eight years. She organized the children’s story hour and summer reading programs for a number of years getting impressive contributions from the community for those programs. The library is advertising for a replacement. In the meantime other part-time employees will be asked to fill in for some of the time. The Library Board would prefer to find an assistant librarian/children’s librarian with a masters degree in library science. The position is for 24 hours a week. It requires library experience, a college degree, familiarity with computers, and skill in working \ Correction ' Doris Critzer and Mary Updike were not charged with misdemeanors in connection with election law violations.

At the meeting the board agreed to spend up to $150 for materials to build shelving for books stored in the basement for book sales. The members debated paving the driveway and parking lots. Member John Hartline said he believed it would cost $25,000. Chairman William Young said, “I’m totally opposed to asphalting fpr several reasons.” He said the bumps in the driveway help slow cars down. “We could scrape and regravel for 20 years for what it costs to pave,” he said. He added that traction on ice is fetter with gravel than pavement. He said paving would also require solutions to runoff problems. “My biggest problem is given the choice of how to spend $25,000, is this the best use for the money?” he said. The board agreed to find costs for alternatives before making a decision, but menber Frank Warner said one problem with the gravel driveway is that it cannot be readily scraped when it snows because the gravel is pushed off the driveway into the ditches. Member Roberta Anderson reported that the roof needs painting. She said that the original specifications only called for one coat, and at the time it was applied she was told there should probably be a second coat applied after one year. She said that was not done, and now the paint is flaking badly. Member John McCarthy said it would be possible to have jail trustees do the painting, but with scraping and two coats, it would probably take two weeks, and he was not sure when such a project could be started. The board agreed to accept the donation of the complete 8-foot long Warren Commission Report on the assasination of John F. Kennedy from Joseph Barr, former Secretary of the Treasury. The board agreed the finance committee should continue to discuss handling of the library’s funds and report at a later meeting.

In my opinion the intention of the article was to imply that Doris and Mary are already guilty of the violation. As a rule of thumb you are innocent until proven guilty. However this doesn’t seem to be the case. This is a ludicrous monstrocity that has exceeded far beyond the necessary boundries. Considering all the mudslinging that has occurred in this election process, Doris and Mary’s involvement seems insignificant. In reference to the white ballots (which are coincidently unacceptable) if any other color were used, this probably would still have been the case, and charges would still be pending. My suggestion for the next election would be for the proper authorities to completely clarify the rules and regulations set forth, so as to prevent any future misunderstandings. In my view newcomers get all the recognition and natives have no say. Just a small piece of advice for those whom it may concern, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. MARTHA HELEN CRITZER Washington WISE Organizing To the Editor: Our organization, Witness for a Susainable Economy (WISE) just sent out its first mailing: a brochure, a newsletter and a call for financial and volunteer help. Our mission is to study and to dramatize alternatives to an everexpanding global economy which do not exacerbate the problems of the poor. Should you be on our mailing list? If so send your name to ipet at Box 41, Woodville, Va. 22749. RABBI CARLA THEODORE Executive Director, WISE Woodville [ North Opposed j To the Editor. We are hearing a lot about the candidacy of Oliver North for the U.S. Senate these days. We should hear a lot more. We should hear, for example, that Mr. North has been tried and convicted of (1) perjury, or lying while under oath, (2) obstructing justice, that is, shredding and destroying possibly incriminating evi'' dence to prevent its disclosure to a Congressional investigating committee, and (3) converting government funds (approximately $13,000) to his own use and benefit. It is often pointed out that his conviction was overturned on appeal. So it was. It was overturned, not because the facts of his guilt were insufficient or impeachable, but, rather, because they were the same facts for which Congress had granted him immunity during the Iran-Contra Hearings. It would appear that his lawyer advised him to spill his guts at the hearing so that he would be judgement-proof later on. ' , A communication from Mr. North to me, asking me, among other things, to be a member of his special advisory committee, suggested that during the Iran-Contra Hearings, “You were undoubtedly proud to see me stand up to those liberals,” or words to that effect. Apparently, Mr. North believes that if he doesn’t like a particular law (i.e., a law passed by “liberals”), he is justified in opposing it by lying, obstructing justice, and sneaking a little something off for himself on the side. The constitutional procedure would be to work to get the law changed, but otherwise obey it so long as it is in effect. To do otherwise, as Mr. North did, is to invite anarchy. We should also hear a lot more about Mr. North’s program, if elected. He says, for example, that he would reduce taxes and spending, but in the same breath, he promises to “rebuild our nation’s defenses in the face of growing threats from around the world.” Apart from the inherent inconsistency of these proposals, his intentions regarding defense spending are preposterous. A recent graph, depicting defense expenditures in all the significantly armed countries around the world, showed that the U.S. is currently appropriating more for defense than all the other countries combined. What, pray tell, are the “growing threats?” And is defense spending not spending? Seventy thousand jobs in Virginia, he says, will be lost as a result of President Clinton’s defense cuts. Is defense a jobs program? Or is it just pork? It is also said that Mr. North would have voted with Sen. Warner to defeat the “largest tax increase in American history.” The reference is, of course, to Pres. Clinton’s budget deficit reduction plan, enacted over unanimous Republican opposition in 1993. That plan reduced taxes for many at the lower end of the income scale, left taxes relatively * unchanged for most of us in the middle, and increased taxes only for a relatively few upper income people who" could well afford the increase. The plan also made substantial reductions in the annual budget deficit for five years. The results: a rapidly improving economy, lowered inflation new jobs, and a more balanced and progressive tax structure that is fairer for all Americans. Finally, it is said that Mr. North would favor “limited government and individual freedom.” In a complex industrial society such as ours, it is imperative that there be laws and regulations to secure the physical, intellectual and religious freedom of all citizens, as well as their property rights. For example, the unwise relaxation of regulations affecting the savings and loan industry led to a boondoggle that will ultima tely cost about half a trillion dollars ($500,000,000,000) which the taxpayers will have to cough up. Again, governmental gun control, which Mr. North Opposes, is long overdue if people are to be secure. Why should any law abiding citizen want an assault weapon? How about poison gas canisters? When students graduate from the Harvard Law School, diplomas are conferred on the graduates who are said to have studied “the wise restraints that make men free.” In the interests of true individual freedom, a more balanced candidate than Mr. North would seek to eliminate only unwise restraints, not all of them. This is, indeed an historic moment for Virginians. Will Virginians, the heirs of principled statesmen such sa Washington (who couldn’t tell a lie), Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, among many others, vote for a man such as Mr. North who has been convicted of committing crimes against the government he now seeks to join? Will they vote to their detriment for a candidate who espouses fatuous programs exploiting the fears of an underinformed, overly trusting electorate? I hope not. LEE BIRD Washington Fire Hall Use Questions To the Editor: I have lived in this area for six years. My son has been involved in the Cub Scouts and the R.A.A. (baseball) in Amissville. Both groups have been refused the use of the Amissville Firehall, unless they rented it for the going rate. I thought all three were volunteer organization in a small community and should be working together. I’m a Culpeper County resident, because of where I live I support both counties. Believe me, I don’t need to go to the Firemans Carnival and spend fifty dollars, but I do to help support them. JOANNE KOCENSKI Amissville Canadian System Works To the Editor: My thanks for your editorial support last week in re health care reform. I hope that the following quote from an article by Lars-Eric Nelson in the Aug. 28 Washington Post will clarify my position and provide an answer to Edith Pond’s letter. The article goes in some detail to discuss the Canadian program-it’s pros and cons, but to me the crucial remarks are from a report sent to Mr. Nelson five years ago by Bill Gradison, the man who now heads the Health Insurance Associaiton of America, creator of the very misleading Harry and Louise commercials. I quote: “Canada’s system of universal, tax-financed health insurance is much less costly to administer than the American market system in every phase of operation...There is no Ineed to determine coverage, eligibility or risks. There is no multiplicity of staff and administrations, and the administrative procedures are uniform throughout each province...In short, Canadians eryoy the benefits of less paperwork and less bureaucracy.” Millions of Americans are now covered by a variety of Governmental programs: Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, the Congressional program, Military and Veterans in-patient and out-patient coverage, among others we may not know about. Are those people willing to give up those coverages which thdy have earned and which are all tax supported and which are administered by the Government? WILLIAM H. YOUNG, MD Washington B and Bs Could Compete To the Editor I have some suggestions that may help the recently approved five bedroom Bed & Breakfast in little Washington. Two weeks ago, the Rappahannock News reported that other B & B’s are less than thrilled with the new competition. My first suggestion is, don’t discriminate against families with young children. Last winter, friends with a small child wanted to come out from D.C. to spend a night or two in the country. I learned that out of all the B & B’s in Rappahannock, only two accept children. My next suggestion—offer reasonable rates. B & B rooms start at about $80 and go as high as $120 per night. This is not only tough on young families, it’s tough on retirees on fixed incomes. My mother, recently retired, opted for a nice, clean Front Royal hotel room on a recent visit, a deal at $40 with a private bath. Of course, there was not the charm, views, quiet, etc. a room in a Rappahannock inn would have provided. But not everyone traveling through has those amenities as their only consideration. More suggestions. What about off-season discounts? Mid-week versus weekend rates? I have seen the inside of several B & B’s in the county. We are fortunate. They are truly a local treasure. But the way things are going, they will continue to be effectively offlimits to large segments of the population. AMY KRETZ Flint Hill

1 Katzen Reports On African Trip ; By JAY KATZEN , Delegate Representing 31*t District | I have just returned form seeing ; things I hope never to witness again! Acts perpetrated by those I had 1 thought were human, before a God I . still believe to be full of grace. Picture as best you can fields of <1.2 million souls, surviving literally cheek by jowl, in an unimaginably degrading state of sanitation. Over 20.000 orphaned children, 30 percent of them likely to die from AIDS. Their elders, suffering from( or only just recovering from, cholera, meningitis, dysentery, malnutrition, exposure, or malaria, now await further calamity as the rainy season begins in Eastern Zaire, which will bring yet further misery to those camped on volcanic soil separated from the elements only by plastic tenting and banana leaves. Journalists appropriately characterize the diaspora of Rwanda’s Hutu populai tion as apocalyptic. Some promising signs do exist. 80.000 bodies were being moved into mass graves upon my arrival to Goma two weeks ago, as team leader of a Virginia Beach-based Operation ; Blessing group of eight doctors, nurses, and paramedics. The mortality rate is dropping for the moment. Members of our team went through one large camp of 250,000 at Kibumba, rehydrating those in need intravenously, and moving orphans and those requiring medical care to makeshift hospital units. Others, at Ndosho, ministered to the young, whose casualty rate was devastating. Beds of dying infants, which filled their sweltering, fly-bedeviled “clinic,” were emptied each morning and filled again, day after day. I hear their older brothers and sis ters, some singing despite their anguish, then dying because of it. Yet others in our team began a dramatic meningitis, measles, polio, and vitamin A immunization program at Mugunga, aimed at helping 50,000 over a one-week period. That group was assisted by a large German presence. By the time of my own departure, many of those of us who had arrived as pioneers were being joined or replaced by others. Their dedication and the generosity of their nations’ people mark the charitable side of a human nature whose goodness I had every reason to question this past fortnight. I thank God Almighty for the courage and opportunity He gave me to make this voyage. The people of Rwanda will, I pray, have that same courage and opportunity to reunite, but that prospect appears remote* and great despair remains in the offing. For the moment, while I prefer to think of our modest works of healing, my most searing memories are of the overwhelming, hordes, of the pathos, of the wetness, or their cold at night, of the gunfire, the smells, the smoke, and the cries. Of an infant trying to nurse from her dead mother, of those dying in our arms. And of a man who climbed in among the dead, assuring us he, too, soon would die and, without fmaily to lay him to rest, that he was doing so while he himself still had the energy to move. i .

Health Plans Are Socialistic By JOHN MAROCCHI ( i Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer In today’s media, health care reform shares almost equal billing with O.J. Simpson-and deserves a thousand times more. The proposals before the Congress modify America’s Health Care System radically. So don’t waste time on details. Step back before we toss out the world’s best medicine, satisfying 80 percent of Americans, and be sure a radically changed one will be better. The Clinton Plan and others like it require one critical shift, governments will control our health industry, not the free market, not consumers. That is socialism. Adding medicine’s 12-14 percent of GNP to the 42 percent now spent by governments and over half the U.S. economy is socialist. Proponents of the reforms are frantic in assuring us, “It is not socialism” that it will only “harness and control free market forces.” Exactly! Once government is involved, every problem brings increased control. “Socialism” is not just a scare word used by conservatives! It is a system of economic and social organization with one flaw; it does not work. It sounds wonderful, “from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,” so it appeals strongly, mainly to the young. Socialism doesn’t work because of human nature. We are individualists, not collectivists. Our genetic makeup is not like that of ants or bees, which have collectivist societies. To wish we were, and to act on that hope is to mimic, in the Biblical phrase, “That foolish man, which built his house upon the sand.” History records thousands of attempts over the centuries to create and maintain socialism. There has not been one lasting success. One effort occurred at Virginia’s founding. The Jamestown Colony began with socialism; everyone delivered the products of farming, fishing, hunting, weaving, etc., to the communal storehouse, settlers drew on the supplies as needed. For the first few years, Jamestown hovered on the edge of starvation. It was saved, in the words of a contemporary account, because “Sir Thomas Dale hath taken a new course... The new program., by Deputy Governor Dale was a great reform. Within a short time... the colony was flourishing.” Gov. Dale decreed that each colonist kept what he or she produced, trading voluntarily for their items. Today there are many examples of socialism’s failure. That of the USSR is best known. It wasn’t military defeat that doomed the Soviets, lit was economic failure. An example, under the Czars Russia had a t free economy and was a major food exporter. Under communism/socia**Iism, she was unable to feed herself! * Same climate, same land, same people, better machinery and seed. The “System differed, and that led to fail: „ure. Why? because socialism destroys incentives for productive people, leading to shrinking output. With less and less to divide, ultimately ev I 1 Opinion eryone loses and the system collapses. But we are discussing medicine. In the USSR, the same thing happended to medicine as to agriculture. An ABC TV News series shortly before the USSR collapsed showed the sorry state of medical care there. And Yuri Maltsev, a Peoples’ Deputy in Moscow from 1987-1989, now living in the U.S., provides some informed and informative observations: “I can attest to the consequences of medical socialism. It sustained a massive government bureaucracy and systemic nepotism. It imposed price controls which led to severe shortages, poor and often deadly service, non-price rationing based on political considerations, and unimaginable levels of corruption. The result was not a healthier society but,...a thoroughly diseased one... “As with the Clinton plan, the official goal of the Soviet medical socialists was simple; health care services will be provided on an equal basis to the entire population by a state-owned and state-managed industry. .. “The system had three supposed advantages. It would prevent people from profitting from the sickness of others. It would not overlook anyone, not even the poorest of the poor. And it would eliminate ‘waste’ due to ‘unnecessary duplication and parallelism’ in private medical provision... “The ‘free’ medical services were appallingly bad. Physicians lacked incentive to care for patients and even humanitarian doctors were hamstrung. Patients had to offer bribes if they expected to receive even a minimal amount of attention from doctors and nurses. They in turn had to offer bribes for medicines and equipment. Although bribery was illegal as in the Clinton plan, it was essential... “The medical system didn’t provide equally poor services to everyone. Two years after Lenin socialized the system, Communist Party officials realized that egalitarianism was great...however they needed something different. So they developed a two-tiered system—one for the ‘grey masses,’ another for party officials...While workers and peasants died in the state hospitals, the medicines and equipment needed to save their- lives sat idle in the ‘leading officials’ system.” Americans should think long and hard about the USSR’s experience. Clinton supporters argue that “We are building on the British, Canadian and German plans.” True, these are not yet as bad, but the Russians had a long head start. For a look at them, read “Questions to Ask Your Congressmah about Health Care Reform” in the August ’94 Reader’s Digest. Author Ralph Bennett finds: 1. Rationing. 2. Declining research in drugs and equipment. 3. Declining quality of care. 4. Loss of choice in picking a doctor and treatment. 5. Increased costs. S. This is not a partisan issue. Most health reforms advanced by Republicans share the same fatal flaw. Does that mean we can do nothing? Not at all! There are steps Congress and the states can take to improve American medicine: 1. Steadily reduce goverments’ funding and involvement. 2. Allow people “Medical IRAs” or “Medisave” accounts. 3. Make individual and group health insurance, once given, portable and renewable. 4. Allow individuals full deducation of health insurance premiums. 5. Reduce paperwork and litigation costs. 6. Allow states to reform Medicaid and Medicare to encourage shifting to commercial coverage, using tax-funded vouchers to allow everyone to purchase private health insurance. To summarize: Fellow Americans, don’t do it! Don’t destroy the best health care on earth. Don’t let the siren call for impossible perfection lure us on the rocks of socialism’s false promises. Do tell our legislators to strengthen our health care with the best economic system yet discovered, the free market. Fix the system by reducing governments’ roles and increasing the ability of individuals to choose, by changes in the tax code and other laws. .Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR KEY POINTERS WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME Here arc some key points to remember when selling your home: 1. Let your real estate agent do all the negotiating. 2. Look at all offers, even if they are low. Your agent has an obligation to present all offers. Some buyers feel they have to make a low offer to reassure themselves that they got the best price possible. 3. Do not become angry with a low offer and react with an unreasonable counter offer out of anger. Your goal is to sell the house — not punish the buyer. 4. Never judge buyers by the car they drive or how they are dressed. Be kind to all people viewing your home. 5. Your goal is to sell your home, so try not to place barriers about whom you want to buy it. 6. If you feel you have to make a counter offer, make the best one possible, and remember, there are no guarantees.

Youth Football Season To Begin The four-team Skyline Travel Football League begins its regular season at 10:30 a.m. Saturday September 10 at Rappahannock County High School when the Rappahannock Panthers take on the Warrenton Running Rebels. The second game of the doubleheader at the high school will be between the Southern Fauquier Storm and the Culpeper Fighting Bulls. That game should begin at 12:30 p.m. The regular season will run for five additional Saturdays with each team playing each of the other three teams twice. On September 17 the games will be at Yowell Meadow Park in Culpeper, and on September 24 the games will be at Warrenton Middle School in Warrenton. On October 1 the games will return to Rappahannock County High School, with games at Yowell Meadow on October 8 and Cedar Lee Middle n ' ■ School in Bealeton October 15 completing the regular season schedule. Each Saturday the first game is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. and the second at 12:30 p.m. Playoffs will be held October 22 and the championship October 29. The location of these games will depend on the regular season record. Tony Hoffman coaches the Rappahannock Panthers. This is the second year for this team of 12-15-year olds. Mr. Hoffman is hoping the year of experience will lead to a better record this year. To raise money the league will have a raffle drawing on September 24 between the two games played at Warrenton Middle School. The three winners will receive $200, $100, and $50. Tickets are available from the coaches and players. The league welcomes any other donations. For information contact Mr. Hoffman at 937-5751. I / ►Aileen m From Pagie A-l overseas. They asked Rep. Wolf if he supported NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Association and if he supported the president’s health care proposals. They were not happy with his support for NAFTA or opposition to government health insurance. “We need that,” one woman said, of health insurance. Although it will be possible for former employees to purchase insurance once the plant closes, many said they could not afford the higher premiums. , Rep. Wolf talked with groups of employees during their lunch break at the plant. Women in the first lunch break complained loud and long about their situation. Those in the second lunch group were more passive. Plant manager Ellen Jordan said about 10 employees had already found other jobs. The plant arranged for a plant from Winchester to come in and interview employees, she said, and some would go to work there. The employees said they had also heard from people with the Virginia Employment Commission who said they could receive training and a chance to go back to school. Nevertheless, it was apparent that many of the women were angry and frightened. One woman said she was 60 years old and had worked at the plant since it opened. “How am I going to get a job?” she wondered. She said the pension she would get for her years of work would pay her $88 per month. Strange Bounty 0 ii Rappahannock News Staff Phoco/Cindy Mahan Alice Pullen grew an odd-shaped potato along with lots of more normal vegetables in her garden in Flint Hill. H Vicky Minik, at the Aileen personnel office in Edinburg, said this was probably correct. Employees over 55 with at least 10 years experience are eligible for pensions, but the amount will depend on a variety of factors. She did not provide any figures on the range of pensions former employees will qualify for. As Rep. Wolf was leaving, one woman said instead of trying to find jobs for Aileen’s employees, he should be trying to get another comi ■ • r pany to come in and buy the plant and hire the employees. She said many of the women would only qualify for low wage jobs and could not afford to commute 30 to 40 miles for that kind of pay. She said the women need jobs in Rappahannock County. Rep. Wolf said he would discuss that with members of the Board of Supervisors. Invitations to companies to attend the job fair went out Friday, an aide in Rep. Wolfs office said. ►Teachers » From Page A-l system as part of her work With the Community Services Board. “I like their interactions with children and their philosophy of dealing with children,” she said. She will be working with students and parents with specific difficulties and doing social assessments as part of special education. At the high school there are two new physical education teachers and two new English teachers. Laura Conklin has been on the job longest. She started doing behind-the-wheel drivers’ education earlier this month and has been working with the girls’ varsity basketball team for two weeks. She will teach one section of eighth grade and all the 10th grade physical education as well as drivers’ education. She has a degree from Bridgewater College. Eugene Baltimore will teach eighth and ninth grade physical education. He grew up in Manassas Park and graduated from Shenandoah University. Last year he taught part time at Metz Middle School. “I’m looking forward to this year,” he said. “We’ll try, to improve the school as best we can.” He and Miss Conklin say they will put more emphasis on physical fitness and take more time to prepare students for the President’s Tests of Physical Fitness. Miss Conklin said she is concerned with the lack of upper body strength in the girls that shows up on part results of physical fitness tests and wants to work on that. Both say they intend to emphasize basic skills. Cindy Cumins will teach 10th grade English, creative writing and drama. She graduated from Rappahannock County High School in 1976 and then graduated from Longwood College. She taught in Albemarle County for 13 years but says she is looking forward to teaching in her home county.

She decided it would make better sense to live and work here. “I feel smaller community schools provide more opportunities for meaningful educational experiences,” she said. “I’ve been impressed with the warm reception we’ve gotten. The administrators and everybody welcomed us.” Elizabeth “Liz” Hollie will be teaching ninth and eleventh-grade English. She grew up in Richmond and Baltimore County Maryland and got her undergraduate degree from Widener University in Chester Pennsylvania. She has a masters degree in education from Virginia Tech and has been working at the Radford Army Amunition Plant as a technical writer. This will be her first year teaching. “I wanted my teaching career to be in a small school setting,” she said. “You can accomplish more, get closer to the students and relate to them better.” She said the quality training she received last week “is important.” She said she was involved with quality training at Radford. “In education it’s a move that has to be made to guarantee good education for our students,” she said. She agreed that the school system has been very welcoming. The school system has been unable to hire a second speech therapist. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said instead the school system would advertise for a speech therapy assistant to work under the direction of a licensed speech language therapist. ►BZA ' / i 1 From Page A-l 1 right of way with the Dileys and others. |!

Chairman Butch Zindel said, '“We do not have jurisdiction to ask about insurance. Mr. Diley said that he had commercial liability insurance and that it was no problem for him tOj obtain adequate insurance. BZA member Jimmy Swindler asked if the Dileys had any plans for fencing. Mr. Diley said they did not have any concrete plans. County Administrator John McCarthy commented that a six foot fence would not keep anyone in anyway. The special use permit was granted, subject to the following conditions: the permit runs with the applicants, not with the property; any sign erected will be on the Diley property; and floodlights will be turned off by 10:30 p.m. except for emergencies.

They were accompanied by a park ranger and were allotted 15 minutes to photograph the scene, and were confined to a small area so as not to disturb anything. Many personal items were strewn around the area, including flight maps, a pink cooler, playing cards, a sock hanging in a tree, and a small white and pink sneaker. A salvage crew from the NTSB was scheduled to pick up the remains of the aircraft later in the day by helicopter. It was to be moved to another site for examination. Ms. Johnson of the NTSB expects to have a preliminary report of the crash by the end of this week.

Comfortable accommodations are available in an up-to-date looking city, yet a toy-appearing Buddhist temple complex is filled with twenty chanting Buddhists in red robes worshipping in an atmosphere redolent of incense. Beside one stage-set looking building at right angles to the temple, the faithful are lined up to purchase incense and holy water. Devout citizens bring money to the monks, one of whom is eager to help the crowd file around the chanting men in the small temple so that everyone can have a chance to hear the service and make donations to the monks. Many of the latter are young fellows concentrating on songs recorded on the traditional oblong pieces of paper full of Mongolian calligraphy. Observing practicing Buddhists of this sort puzzles Westerners who often cannot imagine how this religion could be meaningful to anyone. I have seen a Japanese visitor to America just as baffled by the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. i A trip into the country takes us to an encampment of horse, cattle, and sheep herders. The staple foods seem to be milk from mares, cows and sheep, cheese made from it, other milk products, bread, horse meat, beef and mutton. Although the mare’s milk is sour and fermented (a delicacy called kumiss) the other items we are offered are slightly sweet. A1J around us are people living in gers, known to us as yurts—round structures of latticed wood and poles covered with felt and supplied with a gaily painted wooden door. Light enters the ger through the south facing door when it is open, or through a circular, spoked wooden ceiling piece where a stove pipe emerges and which can be covered with a felt flap to keep out rain. We are told two men can erect one of these collapsible homes in a couple of hours. We don’t see chickens or cats, but there are a few working dogs. One woman is pounding natural wool into felt. The felt covering of the ger is topped with white canvas which has probably been water-proofed in some way. These white coverings stand out on the green pastures, ere Canby Show Opens at Gallery Beginning this Friday, Sept. 2 the Middle St. Gallery in Washington will present mixed media paintings by Hamilton artist Connie Canby. Color and light are what fascinate Ms. Canby, who states, “To me, color is a creative expression of truths learned within...nature and endless mysteries are unfolded, revealing themselves in related graphs, patterned volumes...the visual art of abstract poetry expressed through vital rhythms.” For Canby, a walk doesn’t serve to find the perfect landscape to paint but to gather impressions and atmosphere which are translated into color, texture, and movements in her mixed media work. A self-described “visionary colorist in the impressionsist fashion.” Having studied at The Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. and The Maryland School of Art and Design, Canby has spent thirty years developing her unique expressions of color and light as energy. Many of her works incorporate sand so that the flat surface will reflect light from many angles. While these works will be on display at Middle St. Gallery Fridays through Sundays during Sept, the public is invited to attend Canby’s Opening Reception from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11. Photo couitesy of the Middle Street Gallery Connie Canby’s “Universal Oneness’’ is part of the new show at the Middle Street Gallery ating a unique landscape with flocks of sheep, horses, and cattle, and even yaks and camels. We have come by train out of a severe desert onto rolling grassland hills as beautifully contoured as any modern sculpture. The sensuousness of land formations, in some places almost entirely treeless, in others darkened by patches of evergreens, is more appealing to me than are the more rugged mountains with ridges and peaks that we saw in China on our way to Mongolia. The mantle of grass that covers the land is thin. In places, the tan soil emerges; if great care in grazing is not observed and if heavy rains are not controlled with terraces, ditching and other means to guide and contain the water, erosion could damage and perhaps destroy the productive capacity of the pastures. The nomad herders of the grasslands live in gers that are moved from time to time, depending on weather conditions. Fortunately for us, we encounter rain, first at the Great Wall of China and from there right through northern Mongolia r and across Siberia as well. We must be experiencing a peak of green everywhere. The climate is generally harsh, swinging from hot and dry to cold and snowy. The people seem to be either young or old, which makes me think the hard life of the steppes ages people prematurely. Ulan Bator is home to half a million people, much of the country’s population. More than half of the city dwellers live in cement apartments of a fairly ordinary, unimaginative design, and there are many new tall apartment buildings, such as one might see in America, on the outskirts of the city on rising ground. i A book on Mongolia found on the train indicates that outside Ulan Bator accommodations are meager, but a private tourist-boosting company is encouraging people to undertake various sorts of specialy safari-like adventures, for instance, horseback riding tours. At least some Mongolians understand the curiosity Westerners can be made to feel for a remote and exotic country which may be on the threshold of radical ---<-1 Photos courtesy of Lee and Diana Bird Mongolian horses are quite small. Heil s eoond^r> 5 ° Theatre Broadway Bound, Neil Simon’s famous autobiographical comedy which had a long run in New York on Broadway, comes to the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. The play is the sequel to Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues, tracking Simon’s alter-ego, Eugene Jerome, as he makes his way into his soon-to-be illustrious comedy writing career. It was hailed by Time as Simon’s best, by Newsday as “a lovely play; warm, perceptive and gently humorous,” and by the New York Times as “expectedly funny and unexpectedly moving.” Simon, America’s premier comic playwright, has written dozens of comedies, farces and screenplays, at one time having an unheard-of four shows running successfully on Broadway. Broadway Bound is produced by the Maryland Traveling Repertory Theatre, a long-established professional touring company from the Washington, D.C. area. Featured in the cast are Michael Greenberg and Eugene and Marilyn Hausfeld as his mother, Kate. They played the same roles in an earlier award-winning production of Broadway Bound in Northern Virginia. The show will be held at the Theatre at Washington for one performance only at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. Ticket prices are $13 and $10 with reservation, $15 at the door. Children are half price. For reservations, and a full listing of the Theatre’s upcoming season, phone 675-1253 or write The Theatre, P.O. box 322, Washington, Va. 22747.

Food and Kitchen Safety Rules For Snacks By HELEN W. SMITH Extcmion Agent, Home Economic* School bells will be ringing again as millions of children head back to school. Where did summer go? Now that they’ll be back to school shortly, most kids at the end of the school day will head home to start homework and, yes, to snack. But what is mom and dad are at work and can’t make that mid-afternoon snack for them? Not to worry. Here’s a crash course for kids in “Safe Snacking 101’” on what are the most important food and kitchen safety rules. Throw away perishable sandwiches or other “refrigerator-type” foods you may have brought home. They may have spoiled in the meantime. Don’t take any chances. Place your books or bookbags on the floor, not on eating counters or the kitchen table. In that way, you do not spread outside germs on clean eating and food preparation surfaces. Wash your hands before you make or eat a snack. Remember, hands carry lots of germs. Always use clean spoons, forks, and plates. Wash fruits and vegetables with water before you eat them. Do not eat bread, cheese, or soft fruits and vegetables that look bad or have even small spots of mold. Do not leave cold items, like milk, lunchmeat, hardeooked eggs, or yogurt out on the counter at room temperature. Put these foods back in the refrigerator as soon as you’ve fixed your snack. Now, what if you want a hot snack? Should you hase the gas or electric range or the modem wonder of the kitchen - the microwave? That’s a decision each of you will have to make for yourselves and with your parents. Both you and your parents should know that severe bums can and do occur from improper usage of the oven and, yes, even the microwave. Special packaging for kids’ favorite foods - popcorn, pizza, and french fries, for example - can get too hot to handle. Steam from popcorn bags can bum. HOME ECONOMICS And the even popular jelly donut, pastries, hot dogs, and other foods can reach very hot temperatures in just seconds when microwaved. Kids, For Safe Microwaving: •Never turn on an empty microwave oven; this can break the oven. •Read package directions carefully. Make sure you know how to set the microwave controls. •Use only microwave-safe cookware. Never place metal objects in the microwave, such as spoons or aluminum foil. •If there are no directions, rotate food in the microwave and stir foods half-way through the recommended cooking time. •Use pot holders to remove items from the microwave. •If a dish is covered with plastic wrap or wax paper, turn up on corner to make a vent to let excess steam escape. Finally, here are some specific tips for favorite food. Pierce hot dogs and baked potatoes before cooking. Break open jelly donuts and fruit pastries before eating. Let the bag sit for several minutes before opening popcorn. For other information about safe snacks after school, call the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s toll-free Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800 Saving Seeds By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock News Contributing Writcr Dependable commercial seed growers are the best sources of seed for gardening. They make a business of choosing proper growing regions and knowing the techniques for providing disease-free uniform seed. However, some home vegetable gardeners may want to save seeds from a variety that is not available 1 commercially. Or they want to perpetuate desirable characteristics in a variety, such as disease-resistance. Or they have found the seed that is well adapted to their locality. Novice Gardeners Can Save Some Seeds Easily It is possible to save the seed of some self-pollinated annuals, such as lettuce, beans, peas and tomatoes. Saving seeds from cross-pollinated crops is not generally recommended for the novice due to the problems with selection, hand pollination, biennial habits, and genetic variability. To save seed of beans and peas, allow the seed pods to turn brown on the plants. Harvest the pods and air dry them for one to two weeks. Shell the pods and store the seeds in a cool, dry environment in a paper bag. A cool environment is one that is below 50 F. To save lettuce seed, cut the seed stalks when they appear fluffy, just before all seeds are completely dried. Seeds will fall of the stalk and be lost if they are allowed to mature on the plant. Dry the harvested seed stalks* shake the seeds off, and store in a cool, dry place. To save tomato seeds, pick fruit from the desired plants when it is ripe. Cut open the fruit and squeeze the pulp into a container. Add a little water, then let seeds and pulp ferment two to four days at room temperature. Stir several times. When the seeds settle, pour off the pulp and spread the seeds thinly to dry thoroughly. Store in a cool, dry place. Seeds Can Be Shared Seed saving exchange clubs are becoming popular with gardeners who enjoy saving and trading seeds. These exchange make heirloom and unusual varieties available to their members. If see saving interests you, you can get more information from Seed Savers Exchange, do Kent Wheely, 203 Rural Avenue, Decorah, IA 52102.
