By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer Craig Claiborne, noted food writer and cookbook author, could have spent his 74th birthday anywhere in the world, but he chose to spend it here in Rappahannock County at The Inn at Little Washington. Mr. Claiborne, considered to be the foremost authority on Southern cooking, is a longtime friend of Inn owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. He was their guest here for the Labor Day weekend, and he said of The Inn, “This is the best thing that ever happened to America.” This was the third time Mr. Claiborne had chosen to spend his birthday here. He was also here for his 65th and 66th' birthdays. Prince Rainier of Monte Carlo hosted his 70th birthday, and invited 50 of the greatest chefs in the world. Mr. O’Connell was one of those chefs. He said that everyone was asked to t>ring one thing, and he took Vlrgihia ham. Mr. Claiborne underwent quadruple bypass surgery last winter and spent five months in the hospital. This was his first major trip since then. Mr. O’Connell said that Mr. Claiborne stayed in his home, which had been decorated with several old family photographs of Mr. Claiborne’s. “The theme for his stay was ’coming home’,” said Mr. O’Connell. Mississippi flags flew from both the front of The Inn and the house on Gay Street. A special menu printed for the occasion was presented in a cover with a photograph of Mr. Claiborne See Birthday, Page A-6 New Spaces and Programs Come With School Year By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer There are two new computer areas in the high school this year. A special education room has been turned into a second computer lab. There are 12 computers in the room for student use, and the idea is to have them available throughout the day. REAP, the new volunteer organization in support of the high school academic program is trying to find volunteers to monitor the use of the room. At book day, last Thursday, parents were asked to sign up to volunteer at the high school. One of the organizers, Judy Tole, said the group is also very interested in finding community members, who are not parents, to volunteer. The group is also looking for volunteers to monitor the lunchroom and make copies for teachers. The original computer lab is in use for much of the day for classes. The second computer lab would be for student use and not set aside for classes, but it can only be used when an adult volunteer is in the room. Volunteers will be welcome for one day a month, a few hours a week, or whatever will suit their schedules, Mrs. Tole said. REAP has made a start in organizing volunteers at the high school, but more volunteers are needed. Volunteer forms are at the high school and in businesses in the county. They should be returned to the high school office when they are1 filled out. A ne\y class named “Technology Foundations” is being 'taught this year. This is supposed to be the first class in a three-class sequence that will qualify as a vocational completion course for high school graduates. Technology education teacher Ron Vickers said next year he plans to offer ‘Technology Transfer” and the following year ‘Technology Assesment” to complete the three-year “Design and Technology” program. “When I got out of Virginia Tech in 1980, I was pretty much a woodworking teacher,” Mr. Vickers said. “Now I teach on computers half the day. We have to change with the times.” He took a class in Fredericksburg and learned about the Design and Technology program. To prepare for teaching Technology Foundations this year, Mr. Vickers got $200 to buy lumber and over the summer partitioned off a section of the shop room for computer use. More materials will be needed to make the area fully useful, but for now, Mr. Vickers intends to use it in the class. He said he will use 1 sheets of plastic as a ceiling and for windows until more permanent materials can be purchased to make the area dust free for computer use. i Students will be able to go back and forth from using computers to design projects, do research or keep track of data to using the other machines in the shop to complete projects. One of the goals of the course is consumer product testing, and Mr. See School, Page A-6 .. i Rappahannock News Slaff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Ron Vickers works in the computer lab in the shop room.

WSA Debates Reserved Sewer Plant Service By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At last Thursday’s meeting the Water and Sewer Authority ratified the decision to hire Troy Jenkins as the second full-time employee at the Sperryville sewer plant, formally voted to seek forclosure on property belonging to John Shipman and then got into a testy discussion of reserved sewer rights. Mr. Jenkins has been working for the WSA on a contract basis for most of the years since the plant opened. He has done electrical and plumbing work on the pumps, tanks and lines leading into the plant. With the state’s Department of Environmental Quality requirement that the plant work to get rid of storm water that occasionally causes a wash out during heavy rains, the WSA felt they needed more than part-time help. They advertised for someone to not only do that work but become qualified to run the plant and operate it most weekends and pump septage from tanks on the system. They received four applications and reviewed them at the August meeting. WSA members decided between meetings to employ Mr. Jenkins, and he has been working full-time at the plant since the middle of August, they said. Member Charles K. ‘Tete” Estes said that during the heavy rains last month, Mr. Jenkins was able to locate another place where the system was getting storm water. “We’re making progress in having compliance,” he said. Mr. Shipman’s account has been unpaid for three years. After six months the WSA can put a lien on the property. When a bill is unpaid for three years, they can force the sale of the property to get the money owed. “We’ve sent all sorts of registered letters,” member Carson Johnson said. “I’m sure he will be notified in time to straighten it up once this starts.” There are five other properties on the system on which liens have been filed. The WSA is still acting without a budget for the current year. They expect to finish the year without requiring an increase in rates, but they know the budget is very tight. That is, at least in part, the reason for concern about reserved sewer rights. Mr. Johnson said the plant was originally supposed to be at 80 percent of capacity with 196 ED Us (equivalent to a dwelling unit). There would be 20 percent extra built in for expansion. Since then property owners have had to get letters from the WSA that sewer is available to make a subdivision or to get a building permit. The WSA has been willing to say they would hold the EDUs for six months. They have made no charge for these reserved EDUs. The WSA is currently billing for more than 260 EDUs, but except in heavy rains, the plant is usually far below the capacity of 55,000 gallons per day. However, some customers are paying for EDUs while making little or no use of the system. This has left WSA members unsure how much additional capacity the system has. Mr. Johnson said that once a lot is platted because sewer is available, the owner should not have to come back every six months to continue to be eligible for sewer service. Mr. Estes said the WSA could get in a situation where it has no more capacity on paper because the EDUs are promised, but the lots aren’t built on and the WSA isn’t getting any income from these promised EDUs. Mr. Johnson said the WSA decided years ago not to charge anyone who is not actually hooked up to the system, “I’m not going to vote all these lots to have permanent EDUs unless we have some consideration,” Mr. Estes said. Member Richard Smith, who was the only other member of the WSA present for last week’s meeting, said, “There is nothing in the ordinance about reserving EDUs.” He said the WSA should consider charging for reserved EDUs because “We’re in a budget crunch, and you (Mr. Johnson) have been giving us for months information that we may be near capacity.” “We probably have to create a new category,” Mr. Estes said. “This board has the prerogative to set fees,” Mr. Johnson said. “I don’t see anything wrong with making a change on that.” Happy Student Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan At RCES Emmy Lou Wenzel settles right into her special education pre-school class Tuesday Morning.

/ Winning Reader Gets Dessert at The Inn By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Chris and Sonya Anderson of Sperryville were treated like a prince and princess at The Inn at Little Washington last Thursday night. Over this past summer, Chris was the first place winner in the summer reading contest at the Rappahannock County Library. With help from his sister Sonya, mostly her reading to him, Chris read 235 books over the summer. Books about dinosaurs are his favorite subject. The winner was invited to bring a friend for dessert and soda at The Inn, and Chris, 5, brought his big sister Sonya, 12. Upon arrival at The Inn, they were seated in the .garden, resplendent with flowers and greenery. A waiter and waitress 'approached, and took their orders . for Cokes. ; After perusing the extensive dessert menu, Sonya ordered for both of them. Both being chocolate lovers, Chris would have “Chocolate Four Ways,” which consisted of white chocolate mousse, chocolate prange sorbet, chocolate gateau and warm Valrhona chocolate cake. Sonya ordered the white chocolate mousse with hot dark chocolate sauce for herself. -f Before the desserts were brought out, Inn Manager Tom Petot delivered a large package to Chris, a birthday present from The Inn. His sister wouldn’t let him open it until he got home, but it was a teddy bear. y When the desserts arrived, the childrens’ eyes grew wide. The pastry chef had written “Happy Birthday” in chocolate around the periphery of Chris’s plate. He had celebrated his fifth birthday the previous day. Sonya’s mousse was presented in a huge dessert glass. They both enjoyed their desserts and experience immensely. Their father David reported that they talked to him about their trip to The Inn for 45 minutes when they got home. He said they loved it, and were astonished at how beautiful it all was. Both children will be attending Rappahannock County Elementary School this year. Chris will be in kindergarten, and Sonya is a seventh grader.

The National Young Leaders Conference is a leadership development program for high school students who have demonstrated leadership potential and scholastic merit. Mike, a junior at Rappahannock County High School, was among 350 delegates attending the conference from across America. The theme of the National Young Leaders Conference is “Leaders of Tomorrow Meeting the Leaders of Today.” Throughout the 11-day conference Mike had the opportunity to meet leaders from government. He met with an aide to Sen. John Warner and met with Rep. Thomas Bliley, who represents Charlottesville and Culpeper. His group also visited the Jordanian Embassy and met the American ambassador to Zaire. “We learned how other countries work with oUr country and how we need ambassadors,” he said. They participated in a role-playing exercise on foreign policy. A crisis developed when a border dispute broke out between China and Russia. Mike said his first role was as the American Secretary of Defense. Then he was switched to the Chinese side. He said the Russians suggested a union of Russia and China and both sides approved. He also participated in a “model Congress.” He was a Republican member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. He said the different caucases managed to amend the bill until it won support of both Republicans and Democrats. The National Young Leaders Conference is sponsored by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council. Each year 7,000 youth nationwide participate in 20 sessions of the National Young Leaders Conference. “The conference provides the opportunity for students, like Mike, to distinguish themselves as tomorrow’s leaders,” said John Hines, Council Executive Director. “Delegates not only gain knowledge and experience in the nation’s capital, they leave with a sense of accomplishment and an increased ability to face the challenges of the future.” Call Z\je fcappaljannocfe J}etos at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos.

The ~ action is being taken in response to the suit brought against • the county for the current ban. Since voting to hold the hearing the supervisors and two « members of the Planning Commission have visited the Blue l Plains sewage treatment plant in Washington, D.C. County r. Administrator John McCarthy has gathered Articles, letters l and other literature on both sides of the isstie. Neither a visit to the plant nor a review of the literature t is particularly reassuring on the safety of sludge. Certainly sludge can save the farmer on the cost of l fertilizer. It is less likely than conventional fertilizer to wash into streams, and it helps prevent soil erosion. Rules on sludge application are more stringent than for application of • regular fertilizers or animal manures, making it less likely to T spread to neighboring properties or streams. Because the Washington metropolitan area has very r little industry, the sludge produced at Blue Plains tests much I lower in heavy metals than other municipal sludges. P Nevertheless, there are reasons to question the safety of ; land application of Blue Plains sludge. It contains residues, T not only from whatever is flushed down toilets and sinks in • Washington, D.C. and its suburbs, but also much of what’can “r be found on the streets. Only in subdivisions added in the last I 15 years is storm runoff separated from sewage. •» While each day’s production of sludge is tested for a r variety of heavy metals and other potentially harmful l chemicals, the testing is done at the Blue Plains plant itself. Since Blue Plains has no way to get rid of any sludge that might test unsatisfactory for land application, incentives are built in to pass all sludge produced. There is no evidence that this system has led to abuses, but there are also no true ; checks on it. ! Testing for all known hazardous materials would be j prohibitively expensive. There is no way of knowing how ; many hazardous chemicals are in sludge that are not on the ! list of chemicals being measured. • A continued ban on the land application of sludge seems ; prudent. However, that hardly guarantees our safety. Agricultural pesticides and fertilizers presently in use in • the county present many hazards. Our land, air and water, ; both surface water and underground water, are steadily ■ becoming poisoned by our “way of life. ” Typical mom gearing up for the school year’s activities involving her kids!

BEVERLY ATKINS and JAN PALMER Co-Coordinators North Is Better Choice To the Editor: I’m not surprised the liberal Lee Bird took great pains to attack the character of Oliver North, and I am sure it was with great glee that the Rappahannock News published it. This is just one more example of the fact that liberals are running scared. Mr. Bird labeled North a liar who was convicted of perjury, obstructing justice by shredding documents, and using government funds for his own benefit. Hey gang, get the facts straight and tell the whole story. First, North was never even charged with peijury. Second, North was indeed convicted of shredding documents, which he received orders to do. A Marine Corps officer following orders is not something I would expect the newspaper or the liberal establishment to understand; however, I can assure you that it’s sacred to all Marines. And thirdly, North also received a gift. Once again, all, conveniently omit that this was in the form of a security fence presented to him by General Second. The fence was for the purpose of protecting North’s family after a Palestinian terrorist group made public threats toward him. The liberals, it would appear, would have us believe that North’s wife and children were perfectly acceptable targets. Mr. Bird’s letter contained other statements which I cannot on good conscience let slide without comment. First, he refers to North’s support of increased defense spending as “preposterous.” Mr. Bird no doubt feels safe and cozy on his mountainside. After all, the Soviet Union no longer exists and Bill Clinton would never think of taking on any offensive military operation greater than that of removing six Haitian thugs. Wake up and smell Rappahannock Heritage iiuiiil // Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan 'v Dramatic cloud formations filled the sky before an afternoon storm last month. ■'.i M. t ll the coffee, Mr. Bird! The former Soviet Union is in economic and political turmoil making it potentially more dangerous than ever before. Combine this with the desire of renegade nations like Korea, Iran, and Iraq to produce and deliver nuclear weapons and you have the formula for potential disaster. Our country’s first and foremost responsibility is to protect its people and their freedom, not as liberals might have it, to create more social programs and greater dependence on government. Second, taxes; Mr. Bird sings the praises of our most recent federal income tax increase. He would have us believe that it only affected the ultra-rich and that by doing so it made “substantial reductions” in our five year budget deficit. Just what do you mean by “relatively unchanged for most of us in the middle,” Mr. Bird? My taxes increase dramatically, and I resent it when I’m told the fairy tale of how this tax increase would make a “substantial reduction in the annual budget deficit.” The present reduction in the deficit came about by taking advantage of low short term interest rates earlier in Clinton’s term of office. Refinancing the national debt over five years instead of the traditional twenty to thirty years allowed for a oov mgo 111VV1 rates). This, however, as proven in the past, can be a dangerous move. Should interest rates more than marginally rise at the time notes become due, we will be faced with a far greater budgetary crisis. Now I ask you, by how many points has the interest rate risen over the last year? Mr. North is absolutely correct in taking the stand of “no more taxes” (and Clinton should find ways other than outright gambling to deal with the budget deficit). Lastly, gun control. Whereas I personally view assault type weapons in civilian hands with mixed emotions, I must embrace North’s stand. You see, Mr. Bird, the real issue for liberals is not the evil of assault weapons (which statistics show are involved in only a minute number of crimes), but rather a step by step agenda for the elimination of all firearm ownership by private citizens. Simply put, the elimination of ' what we conservatives believe is a constitutionally guaranteed right. George Mason, the father of the Bill Of Rights, most likely did not foresee the rampant crime in today’s society, but what he did fear, was that all central governments can become oppressive and supplant the rights of its citizens. If and when this happens he felt that the people must come to arms. Why is it, Mr. Bird, tha the citizens of Cuba are coming to our shores instead of ousting Castro? While there are four candidates running for the U.S. Senate this November, in reality, as it stands now, there are only two, North and Robb. Your choice is very simple, a mainstream conservative or a liberal puppet whose strings are pulled by Bill Clinton. Ecce album equum, ROGER P. ROACH Washington Oppose GATT To the Editor: American stands to lose much of its prized national and local independence if Congress adopts the latest GATT international trade agreement this fall, which would established a World Trade Organization. The World Trade Organization (WTO) was designed to overturn state and national laws as evidenced by recent rulings. For example, the 1992 GATT ruling declared a whole group of U.S. and state liquor taxes illegal. Michael Carpenter, Attorney General of Maine, wrote a letter to President Clinton protesting the effect of GATT/WTO on state laws. This letter was co-signed by Attorneys General from 41 states including Jim Gilmore of Virginia. Carpenter’s concerns are well founded, since GATT would require the U.S. government to enforce it’s rulings on the states by whatever means necessary. Mickey Kantor, U.S. Trade Representative, confirms this when he stated “we cannot guarantee that we will never urge a State to change laws that violate a Uruguary Round Agreement.” He means, of course, that the states will be forced to conform to GATT decisions. Virginia Congressmen and Senators should support national sovereignty and local autonomy by voting down the latest GATT and its sovereignty-destroying World Trade Organization. Write Senator Robb, Senator Warner, and your Congressman and tell them to “Support and Defend” the Constitution by voting against the GATT-WTO agreement. For more information about GATT/WTO and their importance to the the new world order, call or write me at 381 Stuyvesant St., Warrenton, Va. 22186 or call 3470474. JAMES B. HUTT, JR. i Warrenton North Guilty To the Editor: I live in Arlington and work for the U.S. Government, but because I own a cabin and some property on Marshall Mountain near Flint Hill and spend most weekends there, I frequently read your newspaper. I believe that I have what may be a unique perspective on Ollie North’s campaign for the Senate for your readers, so I feel compelled to respond to Mr. Rich’s letter in the Aug. 24 edition. ■ Mr. Rich discussed a number of issues on which North’s campaign would prefer to focus, but there are two points which he did not discuss which I believe we voters cannot afford to overlook. First, based upon his own testimony to Congress in the Iran-Contra Scandal, Ollie North violated a number of U. S. laws and undermined the consitutional process, thereby violating his sacred oath to “protect and defene the Constitution of the United States of America.” Second, I do not like to think of North’s actions as “conservative,” and I am sure that he is not a good role model for young Virginians who identify themselves as “conservative ” In 1989, a trial jury in Federal Court found North guilty of three charges: lying to Congress, destroying evidence, and diverting public money to his personal use. The conviction was overturned on appeal by a 2-1 vote in the appeals court based upon a technicality, i.e., that the prosecution’s case was put together using information presented by North in testimony at a Congressional hearing, for which testimony he was granted immunity from prosecution. The appeal court based its decision entirely upon that technicality; the issue of North’s guilt or innocence of the charges had no bearing on the appeals court’s decision. Those three charges, however alarming, were merely the minor sweepings with which the prosecutor was left to pursue North after Congress granted him immunity from prosecution for his testimony in the Iran-Contra scandal hearings. That grant of immunity swept aside violations of a host of U.S. laws related to exports of munitions items from the United States, about which I have close personal knowledge based upon my own job. In his testimony to Congress, North admitted his central role in arranging the export to Iran of over 2000 U.S. TOW (anti-tank) and HAWK (anti-aircraft) missiles and spare parts, to I ■ / smuggling thousands of guns to the Contras in Nicaragua, and to laundering the money for those transactions, some of which he apparently used for himself. That transfer of missiles to Iran was illegal, and no sane, fair-minded person can believe otherwise. Since shortly after the Ayatollah Khomeini’s forces seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran (1979), Iran has been branded a “terrorist” state and all exports of U.S. munititions items have been banned. In addition, such a transaction would require either a State Department license (if sold through private, commercial channels) or an FMS contract (“Foreign Military Sales”: an official sale by the U.S. Government through government channels). The law does not leave any other possible legitimate channel for such an export to Iran. Furthermore, such a transaction would require formal, written notification to Congress prior to export. Needless to say, there was no such license, nor an FMS contract, nor any written notification to Congress t prior to the transaction. Under uiese cu uuiii&uuu;e», it is liupussiuie to avoid the conclusion that the transaction was illegal. Only C6ngress’s grant of immunity spared North from being tried and (if convicted) imprisoned for his role^n that transaction. » I am an export licensing analyst at the State Department, responsible for administering and enforcing U.S. laws related to export of munitions from the U.S. .t As a Southerner (raised in Louisiana by conservative parents) I w#s taught that to love this country,Ho respect the Constitution that has made it great, and to obey the law are basic premises upon which the success or failure of democratic g<gremment rests. Ollie North may^r may not be a sincere “conservative*” but he is a man who (by his own Admission) has broken his country's laws, undermined its Constitutiffii, and, thus, violated his oath to uphwd that Constitution. For that reason he must not be emulated (prison awaits), nor can he be a good role model, nor should he be elected tp public office. < KENNETH M. PEOPLE? Arlington No To Canadian System To the Editor: As a former Canadian with few remaining ties to my native country, I wish to oppose Dr. Young’s support of the socialized medical systefn of Canada. One look at the value (>f the Canadian dollar, the sluggish economy, the high tax rate and high unemployment rate will tell even the most casual observer that socialisfn in Canada is a colossal failure. ; The medical system in Canada works very well as long as one is healthy. Long delays in referrals and postponement in care result (n needless suffering and sometimes Jn death. For example, I have two friends who are also former Canandians; each had a brother in Canadh; both were diagnosed with prostate cancer. One waited for the Canadian system which took too long to initiate treatment; he died. The other refused to wait for the bureaucracy to move; he came immediately to the U.S. and was cured. If the Canadian system is so wonderful, why do Canadians take oiit 4 j expensive policies so that they cqn be treated in the U.S.? 1 If we adopt the formfilled, bureaucratic, inefficient system offered by our Northern neighbors and now by our own lawyer legislators, where will we go for care? At least now Canadians can come here and do. J SHEILAH S. SWEET Washington

C 1995 The Toro Company Spring Mountain School Has New and More Trained Staff Three teachers from Washington’s Spring Mountain School, one of two schools in the state offering a Woldorf curriculum, are bringing freshly integrated ideas and concepts to the new school year, which begins Wednesday, Sept. 7. Each of the teachers attended different summer continuing Waldorf education programs. Spring Mountain founder Bethany Craig spent the month of July at Antioch New England Graduate School’s Experienced Educator Waldorf Certificate Program. Her range of studies in child development and the corresponding curriculum reflected the holistic approach inherent in Waldorf education. Craig, who is moving from Nursery to teach First Grade this year, took such courses as Philosophy, Geometry, Speech, Clay Modeling, Music and Flute Playing and Evolving Consciousness. In describing the experience, Craig explained how Waldorf provides a context for learning with a rooted understanding of life itself. When children study Speech, for example, said Craig, they learn that speech is creation. Within a framework of Lyric, Dramatic, or Epic Speech, different creative modes are enlivened in the child. “Lyric prose or poetry is spoken more with the lips,” said the teacher and mother of two. “This enlivens the imagination and the feeling of life. “Drama comes from the hard pallet, which enlivens the intellectual life of the child.” “Epic speech enlivens the will and limbs.” Craig’s first grade children will explore these various elements of speech through such activities as storytelling and play enactment. Music in grades one through three is based on what is called the panatonic scale, which eliminates the dissonant notes C (male) and F (female). “This harmony helps pull children up,” said Craig, who has been dutifully practicing her panatonic flute. Spring Mountain’s new third and fourth grade teacher, Mike Dunnigan, attended the Waldorf Institute at Sunbridge College in New York. A story teller and youth leader, Dunnigan has assisted community neighborhood and 4-H camps, Cub; Scouts, as well as facilitating swimming lessons. His recent degree in Liberal Studies from Mary Washington College has allowed Dunnigan to fulfill his plans of becoming a teacher. “I’m very excited to be teaching at Spring Mountain,” says Dunnigan. “I believe that the most innovative side of what some other schools are now doing is what Waldorf has been teaching since the 1920s.” At Sunbridge, Dunnigan was most impressed by the “Main Lesson Books” longtime Waldorf teachers brought as examples of student writings and illustrations. “You could see for yourself how these students had progressed over the years,” said Dunnigan. “The development of these children reflected the development of all of humanity.” Kindergarten teacher Maureen Day found herself immersed in a community of Waldorf teachers, anthroposophists, business people, and a few parents, some of whom traveled from as far as Germany and England to the Rudolf Steiner Institute summer program. “The structure and rhythm of the kindergarten are based on certain ideas,” said Day. “I appreciated the mix of philosophical and theoretical aspects and how they are integrated into practical use.” One of the courses taken by Day, The Will in the Life of the Young Child, dealt with the development of { the will and how to work with it in the young child. Stages of the will were identified, such as drives and intuition. In guiding each child toward autonomy, educators were reminded of the importance of process and creativity. Kitty Keller of Sperryville is the new nursery teacher this year. Her son has attended Spring Mountain School for three years, so she said she is very familiar with the Steiner methods of teaching. 1 She plans to attend her first Waldorf seminar in New York this February and is very excited about it.

Students will learn about communications, production and manufacturing, transportation and construction. The class is intended for students planning to go to college as well as those who are not. “The world is getting complex enough that some of the concepts we teach are for everybody,” he said. The three courses are designed to pull the whole curriculum together using language arts, social studies, mathematics and science and applying them to real world problems. This year students can take the advanced American history and calculus classes for college credit at Lord Fairfax Community College or as Advanced Placement classes for college credit. Tuition will be charged at LFCC, but there is also a charge for taking the AP tests. Senior English will continue to be taught as an AP class. Also Spanish 4 will be offered through LFCC if there are enough students inter First Day Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Math lab teacher Molly Hobson visited a kindergarten class Tuesday morning and enjoyed the students enthusiasm for their art work. ested. A teacher from LFCC will come to the high school two nights a week to teach the class. The other classes for college credit will be taught during the school day. High school teachers are talking about block scheduling. There are plans to study how that is working at other schools this year and introduce it at the high school next year. Students would take and complete four classes each semester. Students would be able to take more electives and complete eight classes in a year. Class periods would be longer with more time working in the specific I area and less time setting up, cleaning up and traveling between classes. At the elementary school, the biggest change will come later in the fall when classes can expand into the new addition. Principal David Smith said it appears that construction is on schedule. At that point there will be separate rooms for art and music. Many activities will be able to move into more suitable spaces. For the first time in many years there is a full-time teacher to work with gifted and talented students. The teacher will work directly with J V the students and also work with teachers to “enhance instruction,” Mr. Smith said. Also new this year is a full-time teacher at the elementary school to work with students in inschool suspension and alternative education for students whose behavior keeps other students from learning. The teacher will coordinate the i curriculum with the regular classroom teachers, but the main goal of the program is to “direct the students towards more positive choices in their behavior,” Mr. Smith said. “I’m excited,” he said. “I think we’re set for an exciting year.” ►Birthday '■ From Page A-3 taken when he was three years old, with a caption UI hope we’re having coconut cake for dessert!” added for fan.

Has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it? That’s what the Armors of Sperryville think. They were so pleased with the crop of Chardonnay which they just harvested off their threeyear-old vines that they have hopes of opening their own winery in two years. J • In the meantime Rose River Winery in Syria is buying their grapes. / Marilyn and David Armor’s farm, in the southern end of the county near Nethers and Peola Mills, is Sharp Rock Farm. The Armors have been weekenders here for several years, and became full-time Rappahannock residents last November. i Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan This is an example of the double canopy systeiti. , I .. ■ \ This old barn may one day be the site of the winery. 1 Reminiscing Photo courtesy of Maryland Repertory Theatre Michael Greenberg plays Eugene Jerome and Marilyn Hausfeld plays Kate Jerome, his mother, in a scene from this Saturday’s performance of Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound” at The Theatre in Washington. Vocal Concert Next Sunday To Benefit Library Friends An eclectic mix of songs from American musicals, English Ballads, and favorite Italian and German opera is planned for the Theatre at Washington at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18. The concert is a benefit performance on behalf of the Friends of the Rappahannock Public Library. Peter Barton, baritone, and Deanna Briedis, lyric soprano, will be accompanied at the piano by Michael Taylor. Selections from the musical theater include songs of Cole Porter and George Gershwin as well as a medley from “West Side Story.” From opera, Briedis will sing Mimi’s aria from Act III of “La Boheme” and Barton will sing Germont’s “Di Piovenza il mar” from “La Traviata.” They will also sing some operatic duets. Mr. Barton has performed for several seasons with the Washington Opera Society and the Maryland Opera Studio and has appeared in several musicals in the Washington, D.C. area over the past 15 years. He holds a bachelor of music degree from the University of North Carolina. He currently studies voice with Demonic Cossa. Mr. Barton is the son of Ed and Martha Barton of Washington. The Bartons have invited the audience to return to their home for light refreshments following the concert. Mrs. Briedis has performed with the Berks Grand Opera Company in Pennsylvania, and with the Paul Hill Chorale in Washington, D.C. Mr. Taylor is an accompanist with the Washington Performing Arts Society and other vocal groups and is studying for a mater’s degree in music at the University of Maryland. The benefit performance begins at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18. Tickets are $12 and $10. Children half price. For reservations and information, phone 675-1253. Mr. Armor and his son Daniel, who recently finished construction on his own home on the farm for his wife and two children, take care of the vineyard with help from family. Daniel’s sister Adrian, who lives in Los Angeles, came with a friend in tow to help with the harvest last week. Mrs. Armor says, “We have three generations here.” And it’s ob- , vious that she enjoys her role as grandmother. The Armors planted their four acres of grapevines three years ago, so this year was their first substantial harvest. Mr. Armor said, “We are using the latest technology of grape management.” With help from Dr. Tony Wolf, the State Viniculturalist, the Armors are using the divided canopy system of growing the vines. With this system, the top shoots are guided along two sepa41 ' “I have had so much help from so many people.” —David Armor i rate sections of wire. “This double system gives you more sun, because you have two rows of grapes,” said Mr. Armor. According to Mr. Armor, because the grapes receive more sun and air flow from! the divided canopy, the incidence of fungus is reduced. He said that in Virginia fungus is much more of a problem for grapes than insects. Dr. Wolf said that about 30 percent of the vineyards in Virginia use the divided canopy system on at least some of their vines. He said the design started being used in the Bordeaux region of France in the 1970’s, and was also introduced by a professor at Cornell in the 1960’s. He said that it increases the yield without adding more vines per acre, and that some vineyards are changing over to the system. “We averaged three and one-half tons per acre. That is a lot for a first harvest. The average for Virginia is two and one-half,” said Mr. Armor. He expects to harvest seven tons per acre when the vineyard is in full production. t The Armors also use the “leaf pulling” method which provides more air flow and sun to the grapes. When the grape clusters begin to form, some of the leaves surrounding it are removed. Leaf pulling, just an experiment in the 1980’s, is now a popular part of vineyard management. l “I have had so much help from so many people,” said Mr. Armor. One vineyardist who has given many helpful seminars is Jim Law of Linden Vineyards. “I am not sure I would have done this without Tony Wolf and all the seminars available to us in Virginia,” said Mr. Armor. He said that many vineyardists from surrounding states attend seminars in Virginia because they are so extensive and helpful. He feels that the state is very supportive of new agriculture. I ■ ■ . These Cabernet Sauvignon grapes will be picked later in the season at Sharp Rock Farm. i Parking Near Old Rag Creates Problems By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer NETHERS — Landowners from Nethers to the base of Old Rag Mountain had much to say about overcrowding along this section of Shenandoah National Park at a public forum held here Tuesday afternoon. More than 30 landowners, tenants and neighbors brought their questions and answers to the tent erected by the Park Service in the “temporary” parking lot on Route 600. The meeting was led by the park’s assistant superintendent, Vaughn Baker. He explained that the park is in the process of putting together a long-range plan for capital improvements and has decided to add Old Rag Mountain to that plan, as it is “one of the most used areas in the park now.” Mr. Baker is new to the park this year and admitted he has not yet tried to hike the Ridge Trail on Old Rag during a popular weekend. “I understand it is pretty bad now,” he said. Part of the problem is that the park land itself does not border Route 600. The hundreds of people who camp along the road near the creek are in fact trespassing on private land. The excess use has created major problems with trash and human waste, according to Mr. Baker. The park is willing to look at many possible solutions and “has made no decisions” on what to do or not do about the severe overcrowding, Mr. Baker added. “One possible solution might be to lease part of this space (the parking lot) to a concessionaire who might offer food as well as bus rides to the trail head,” he said. Several voices rose at once to suggest that might only bring more traffic and commercial use, which is not wanted. \ The landowners’ biggest problem is parking along the road. “You have to find a way to enforce keeping the parking off the road and into the lot,” said Tom Drumm, who owns a small cabin at the base of the mountain. “The people I have talked to want to have the community stay the way it is,” he added. “I would suggest that the burden belongs to the park and that the parking be put into the park itself.” Mr. Baker admitted that is being looked at but that any such lot would have to be so large that it would re' quire its own Environmental Impact Statement. That would add still more time to the project, he noted. After the meeting had adjourned, Mr. Baker admitted he had not realized how great was the need to get something done now. He pointed out that this meeting is part of a planning process that includes replacing many of the park’s original buildings, especially those seldom seen by the public, such as housing and maintenance sheds. “It will take several years before anything comes out of this planning process, he said, “yet something needs to be done here, now. ” “Perhaps we could put up signs closing the parking lot at the trail head on park property on busy weekends and try to strongly encourage people to park in the temporary lot,” he said. In response to one question, Mr. Baker said that the park and lartdowners will have to work together along with the Virginia State Police and the Madison County Sheriff to control roadside parking. “We really have no authority over parking along a state road,” he added. Park Ranger Bob Martin, who is part of the staff for the Central District of the park said the Old Rag area is the most used part of his district. “We have counters imbedded in the popular trails, and we were wondering whether our increased counts were indicating more use or just more accurate counting. Our rangers have made it clear that we are seeing greatly increased usage here,” l\e said. Piano Concert To Benefit Wakefield Country Day Pianist Christopher Harding will present a benefit piano concert in the Assembly Hall at Wakefield Country Day School at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 9. The performance will include selections from Scarlatti, Haydn, William Bolcom, and Chopin. Mr. Harding’s last appearance in this area was in 1993 when he gave a recital at the Anderson House in Washington, D.C. In 1992, he was chosen by Mstislav Rostropovitch to perform Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with the National Symphony Orchestra for their Labor Day concert. Don Maclean of the Washington Post described the performance as “the highlight of the night...Harding’s exceptionally clean lines and precise articulation...brought an unusual depth and beauty to the work. He received a well-deserved standing ovation for his superb effort.” Christopher Harding has been playing the piano since the age of seven. His early training was with Milton Kidd at the Preparatory Division of the American University Department of Performing Arts. He earned a Bachelor of Music with the Performer’s Certificate from the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with Neltia True, and is presently working on a Master’s Degree at Indiana University with Menahem Pressler. There he also holds a position as associate instructor in piano. This performance will be a fitting inaugural for the school piano, purchased last year through the efforts of the Wakefield Country Day School Parents’ Association. The concert is intended as the first in a series of cultural events planned for Friday nights during the school year, during which the school will endeavor to bring to our area the very finest in educational speakers and performing artists for the benefits of students, parents, friends, and patrons of the school. Admission is by invitation to parents, alumni, guests, friends of the school, and students in grades six through twelve. A donation of $10 for each adult, and $5 for each child is requested. Supervision will be provided for younger children who wish to play in the school gymnasium. Persons desiring an invitation may contact the school office at 635-8555. Tickets will be limited to 200, and will be issued on a first come, first served basis. Photo courtesy of Robert Talbot Christopher Harding will perform at Wakefield Friday.

Food Safety Goes Back-To-School I By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economic! As you begin school, be sure the lunch you pack travels on the Internet of food safety. From booting up to downloading, the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline recommends using “FS-DOS” (“Food Safety Depends on Savvy”). No one wants to get sick. But just as your computer can get a virus when downloading a file, a mishandled lunch can harbor, bacteria which might transmit bytes of foodborne illness. Hotline director Susan Conley says, “For a safe route on the Superhighway, look through out windows for some savvy written in ‘FoodPerfect’ format.” Setup your lunch by putting a gel pack of juice box in the freezer. It should keep perishable foods safe until lunchtime either in a brown bag or lunch box. Search for foods that will last from early morning to lunchtime without refrigeration. Select fresh . fruits and vegetables, cookies, pretzels, crackers or cans of fruit or shelf-stable packaged pudding. Delete foods that could be a problem such as a cream-filled chocolate eclair or cream pies. Merge the meat with the bread but don’t insert lettuce or tomatoes, which wilt unless kept separate. Compose some soup for cool weather lunches. To keep soup safe, rinse a thermos with boiling water just before filling it with boiling-hot soup. Retrieve the frozen gel pack and sandwiches or salads from the refrigerator immediately before leaving the house. Exit the bus or car and move the lunch indoors. Store in the class. room, out of the sun, in the coolest place. A check of your hands won’t reveal bacteria because they’re too micro to see. Even if your hands don’t look dirty, always wash them before I HOME ECONOMICS * eating lunch to send bacteria into cyberspace. Don’t try to save perishable leftovers from your lunch. Frozen gel packs can’t keep food safe all day. Download leftovers as well as their wrappings into the trash. For more Food Perfect information, including megabytes about “After School Food Safety” and “Food Safety at College,” call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800535-4555.
