I : Special Ed Costs Drive Up Budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Unanticipated expenses for special education will cost the school system approximately $42,500. - At Tuesday night’s School Board meeting School Superintendent David Gangel said there is a special education student who needs a program not available in Rappahannock Public Schools. To hire a teacher for that student would cost about $30,000, he said. The alternative is to pay $12,500 in tuition to a neighboring school system that has such a program and to provide an aide to travel with the student to the neighboring county. In addition numbers of students needing placement in classes for the learning disabled/emotionally disturbed will have passed allowed class sizes for the three such classes at the elementary school, he said. A teacher can have up to eight such students in a class. With an aide, she can have up to 10. There are 30 students who have already in such classes or who have been identified as needing this instruction. The problem could be solved by hiring a third aide for the teachers, but the classes would immediately be at capacity. Dr. Gangel recommended instead that the School Board employ another teacher for these students which will mean some extra capac ity. The board agreed with that recommendation. He also recommended that the special education class for children in kindergarten through second grade be moved into the new addition when the other classes move on November 18. Dr. Gangel said he was uncertain about moving the preschool handicapped class into that space because one child in that class had been very upset by a move from half a classroom to a full-sized classroom across the hall. He said he was also concerned about the future implications of moving two special education classes into the addition. He said the addition was planned to take care of expansion needs at the elementary school for 10 years. If two special education classes are also housed in the addition it will be full immediately. He said he believes the board could prevail in a legal challenge to moving special education classes back to the main building, but there would be a cost. j - 1 “Here and now it is not a problem,” he said. “It does become a problem once there are additional sections. The board will have to wrestle with the legalities.” His recommendation to move the K-2 special education class into the i See Schools, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins Absentee Voting Voters may cast absentee ballots at the registrar’s office when it is open.

North Attacks Clinton Defense Preparedness In Annandale Debate By JOHN REOSTI Rappahannock New* Staff Writer \ Appearing Sunday morning at a debate at the Jewish Community Center in Annandale with his two opponents, Sen. Charles Robb (D-Va.) and independent Marshall Coleman, Oliver North unleashed a barrage of criticism at President Clinton’s defense policies that stole headlines around the state. North said cuts in the defense budget initiated by President Clinton have left the United States with a “hollow force” incapable of repelling an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. “Clinton does not have the forces he needs and the Iraqi’s know that,” North told reporters outside the Jewish Community Center after the debate. North said the forces the President needs now have been demobilized. “They’re gone. He sent them out. ” i Coming as they did during a tense military standoff between Iraq and the United States, North’s remarks drew heavy flak from Robb and Coleman. Robb, himself a former Marine,, said North was “dead wrong” about the military. Coleman went even further in criticizing North, characterizing the former Iran-Contra defendant’s remarks as a ploy to gain political capital from a dangerous military situation. \ I “I don’t think it’s useful to signal some other country that we’re not capable of doing what we say,” said Coleman, a former Virginia attorney general and two-time candidate for governor. \ Despite his criticism, Robb admitted North had largely succeeded in defining the senatorial campaign. “I have seen lots of campaigns,” Robb told reporters after the debate, “but there are few that even compare to this one in terms of the kind of professional support that only money can buy. It’s very well done.” Recent polls have shown North in a virtual dead heat with Robb, the son-in-law of former President Lyndon B. Johnson and a former governor of Virginia. At Sunday’s debate, a Falls Church man criticized Robb’s campaign as remaining passive in the face of North’s attacks. “You have to be a little more aggressive," Walter Schwartz, 70, told Robb. “He’s been aggressive against you.” I Strange Apple Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan This white pumpkin’s vine found its way into an apple tree in Diane Welty’s yard in Tiger Valley. Frangelina Lopez Pleads Guilty to Six Felonies By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writers Frangalina Lopez pleaded guilty to six felonies last week in Rappahannock County Circuit Court. If the sentences are served consecutively, Lopez could serve up to 85 years in the state penitentiary. Lopez pleaded guilty to four felony theft charges and two charges of welfare fraud. There was some confusion as to what Lopez wished to do in regard to pleading the case. Lopez’s attorney, Mark Williams, told Judge Carleton Penn, “I am not sure what she wants to do.” He said that on Aug. 25 he spoke with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and discussed a possible plea. He said that he met with his client on Sept. 22 who could not decide what to do, and that he advised Lopez against accepting the plea agreement. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, “I heard back from Mr. Williams that she did not want the plea agreement. Then he called and said she wanted her plea agreement. I felt the defendant was trying to take advantage of the system and could not be relied on no matter what the plea agreement.” When Lopez was arrested in New York on charges filed in Rappahannock, a routine search determined “she” had a penis. Lopez, a self-proclaimed hermaphrodite, told Judge Penn, “I have some physical and mental handicaps. I am guilty for some things and not for others. I desperately need help but have not been able to get it.” Lopez denied stealing a ring, but said, “I am pleading guilty because I am guilty of most of this stuff.” In a letter to the editor of the Rappahannock News this week, Lopez said, “I can only say that I, by my personality, was the cause of the trouble, not Cana, who I will always cherish as if she were my own daughter, and I ask for the Paynes to forgive me for what my personality did to them.” According to Werner Krebser, M.D., some people are bom as “pseudo” hermaphrodites with parts or all of both female and male sexual organs. He said that a fairly simple genetic test using cells from the lining of the mouth can determine whether they have XX (female) or XY (male) chromosomes. The Commonwealth had arranged for Lopez to be sent for genetic testing but Lopez refused to go. Lopez was indicted last July for stealing several pieces of farm equipment, a Dodge Caravan, satellite receivers, electronic equipment, womens’ clothing, a gold ring with diamonds, and other various items of personal property from Nelson Payne of Flint Hill. Lopez was also charged with making a false application for food stamps at the Department of Social Services, and for obtaining a credit authorization for $250, under false pretenses, from DSS.

NATIONAL CRAFTS LTD • 717-369-4810 ) Six Injured In Two-Car Accident By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A two-car traffic accident, which sent six people to Fauquier Hospital, occurred in front of Baldwin’s Grocery on Business U.S. 211 in Washington early last Sunday evening. ; According to Virginia State Trooper Wayne Sumner, who investigated the accident, both drivers were traveling eastbound. The crash took place when Wade William Frazier, 20, of Casanona tried to pass a car driven by Leonard Everett Towle, 35, of Marshall. Mr. Towle said that he had on his blinker to make a left hand turn into Baldwin’s to ask directions when he was hit by Mr. Frazier’s car. Mr. Frazier had his girlfriend in the car with him, Emma Mae Riley, 15. In the Towle car were Mr. Towle’s wife, Aleta, and his parents, Everett Leonard Towle and Arlene Towle. Trooper Sumner said that Mr. Everett Towle was pinned in the back seat and had to be cut out with the jaws of life. Rescue squads from Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill and Amissville responded to the call, and all six people involved in the wreck were transported to Fauquier Hospital. Trooper Sumner said that everyone had cuts, bruises and scrapes, and that when he left the hospital Mr. Everett Towle was going into the operating room for surgery, possibly for internal injuries. The Towle car was totalled, and there was $1,000 damage to Mr. Frazier’s car. Mr. Frazier was charged with reckless driving. | Trooper Sumner said that he will be filing a highway hazard form with VDOT to have the highway center lines changed to solid lines, which i would not allow anyone to pass another vehicle along that stretch of road.

Each night before the drawing jfow, all halls are weighed and measured to ensure ; that they are within .008 of a gram standard. Several test drawings are held before the live drawing to be sure that the halls and equipment are functioning normally.

Pearsons Are New Chefs at Public House j /■ '• By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer John and Denise Pearson, who met at a restaurant where they both worked, got married last May, and are the new chefs at the Flint Hill Public House. Mr. Pearson most recently worked as chef at the Blue Point Grill, Sutton Place Gourmet’s restaurant in Alexandria. Mrs. Pearson graduated from La Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda in June, and this is her first full-time position as a chef. She changed her career after having done administrative work for several years. Mr. Pearson began his new job just a month ago, and his wife started on Oct. 1. They have already made changes in the menu, adding some of their favorite dishes. New offerings include Grilled Polenta with Shiitake Mushroom Cream Sauce, Croustade of Chevre, Leeks and Walnuts, Pear and Stilton Tortlette, Grilled Marinated Portobello Mushroom, Couscous with Smoked Duck, and Baked Onion Soup with Three Cheeses. Some of the new entrees are Viri ginia Peanut Chicken with country ham in an apple cider sauce, Rack of Lamb with a caramelized shallot sauce, Free Range Chicken with country spoonbread, Venison with Hunter Sauce, and Beef Tenderloin with Three Classic Sauces. Mr. Pearson said that his training has been classic contemporary and he has been influenced most by Bob Hurst, one of his instructors at school. He said he also learned a great deal from Jim Sands, who is the corporate chef at Sutton Place Gourmet. He said that he used to watch his mother watching Graham Kerr on television, and that was how i he first got interested in cooking. Most of Mrs. Pearson’s background in cooking has been classical French, and she named Francois Dionot, the president of La Academie de Cuisine, and Julia Child as influencing her the most. Her most recent training was in pastry, and she is comfortable creating anything from wedding cakes to apple cobbler to petits fours. Both chefs, however, are well versed in all manners of cooking. They are both excited about the seemingly endless possibilities which they can use local apples for. So far they have been making applecaramel pie, fried apples with sausage, Rappahannock chopped salad with apples, apple cider sauce for the peanut chicken, strudel, cobbler, and in stuffing and bread pudding. Mel Naumann of Flint Hill brought in some Spy Gold apples for them, and they both felt they were some of the best apples they have ever had. Mr. Pearson’s philosophy is that anything served with a dish should accent it but not overpower it. He said, “I like to enhance, not mask.” He and his wife plan on having a more delicate approach to the food, rather than many of the southwestern items which were previously on the menu. Conrad Koneczny, who is the proprietor of the Flint Hill Public House along with his wife Robin, said, “The long term notion here is that they will eventually take over the total management of the restaurant. It is comforting for me because they not only have all the culinary skills, but can manage the front too.” “When I answered the ad here we had not planned on working together,” said Mr. Pearson. But when he spoke to Mr. Koneczny about his wife also being a chef, he said he would like to meet her. She was out waiting in the car during the interview, was brought in to meet Mr. Koneczny, and the rest is history. He said, “With the two of them we do not have to worry about them having a strained relationship.” He added that they also show a great deal of flexibility in the kitchen, and Town Council Needs To Replace Two Members By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Janice Moffett resigned from the Washington Town Council in a letter to Mayor Stew Willis dated September 26. Copies were sent to town at-\ tomey Frank Reynolds and other members of the Town Council. The letter said, “After the election, I wrote to each Council Member expressing my hope that the bad feelings of the election could be put behind us, and that we would work together for the good of the Town.” “After several months, the hostility continues, and unfortunately, shows no sign of improving. I find this situation to be destructive to the Town and impossible to work with on a personal level. It is, therefore, with deep regret that I hereby ten-, Correction Ay In the story about Jack Russell terriers in the Oct. 5 issue of the Rappahannock News, Mr. Forbush was credited with saying that in England the terriers would go down fox holes and kill the foxes. The truth is that the terriers would go down the fox hole and chase out the fox, but would not kill it. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

Day REALTOR CO-SIGNING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS A young couple want to buy their first home. They both work, make good incomes and have enough money saved for the down payment. The problem is that they don't have enough combined annual income to qualify for the home they want in tne location they want. So, they ask their parents to co-sign a mortgage. In effect, they want to use their parents' credit and income to qualify for the loan. Parents should be advised that co-signing a mortgage is not a casual event. If the loan is defaulted, the co-signers are fully liable for the debt. So, it's a matter of trust and faith in the young couple. This is a decisjon only the parents can make. Even with a parental co-signer, first-time buyers may be required to put up to 5 or 10 percent of the purchase price witn their own money. Some lenders also insist that the loan co-signers also appear as co-owners. This can lead to significant issues which require legal advice, a written agreement, and a will for each coowner.

The couple says they love living in Rappahannock, and enjoy the peace and solitude of the cabin they rent near Rock Mills. They moved here from a hugh condo village in Northern Virginia, where they had recently witnessed a drive-by shooting near their home, which makes them appreciate Rappahannock all the more. The two look forward to using their cooking talents to prepare dishes using local, fresh ingredients.

Krebser Wins Rezoning I I By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted 4 to 0 with Chairman Hubert Gilkey abstaining to rezone Werner Krebser*s 4.1-acre Flint Hill Square development from village residential to village commercial. Dr. Krebser asked for the rezoning in order to expand the shopping center to builcf more space for Blueridge Technologies which is renting about half of the existing building. When the development was originally built in 1986 it had a special use permit but did not require rezoning. With the Zoning Ordinance adopted later such a development does require rezoning. Dr. Krebser proffered that the property would not be used for a service station or liquor store. He agreed to submit the final site plan to the Planning Commission for approval. He said that he did not want to have any parking in the rear of the building, but building inspector Richie Burke said it might be required for handicapped parking. Neighbors Peggy and John Ralph said they would not want the parking in back, and County Administrator John McCarthy said it might be possible to use a chair lift like the one in the Courthouse. The front of the building is handicapped accessible, but the back is on a lower level. Dr. Krebser said he planned to plant six-foot tall white pine trees to screen the back similar to ones he planted behind the original center. He said he would use down-shielded lights. The Ralphs asked if Dr. Krebser could put in a second entrance to the development because the use of the post office creates traffic problems with only one entrance. Dr. Krebser said that would mean giving up several parking places, and Mr. McCarthy said he did not believe VDOT would approve a second entrance. Dr. Krebser said he would move a sign that blocks the view at the entrance. Dr. Krebser said he understood Blueridge Technologies would be using the additional space to relieve current overcrowding but they would also be hiring up to five additional employees once the space is available. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said he wished the county had more businesses like Blueridge. Hampton District representative Mike Massie, who had been critical of the form of the application in the Planning Commission in September, was satisfied with the changes and noted that to turn down such an application the supervisors would have to determine that it would be detrimental to the county. He made the motion to approve the rezoning subject to VDOT and VDOH approval. Mr. Gilkey said he was abstaining because he had done construction work for Dr. Krebser in the past and might in the future. DR. ANDREW L. STONE, O.D.

There will no doubt be howls of protest from those . accustomed to being able to deposit trash at the dumpsters at Huntly and Scrabble 24 hours a day 365 days a year, but the county cannot afford the potential liability of this arrangement. With unmanned sites constantly available it has been impossible to make people follow the rules on what can be put ' in the dumpsters and who can use them! There is always the risk of hazardous waste being put in them and from them into the landfill. L \ ; Having the dumpsters at Huntly and Scrabble and the only recycling center, other than the one at the landfill, outside Washington has also served in some sense to discourage recycling. One site where ordinary trash can be dropped off and recyclables including newspapers deposited should help increase the percentage of citizens who recycle. Unless that happens, the county stands no chance of achieving the 25 percent recycling goal mandated by the state.v The market for recycled materials is beginning to catch up with the supply. With luck and good planning the market may keep up with an increased supply. This will ultimately save the county money, both by bringing in money for materials recycled and by saving space in the landfill. The new cell is designed to last about eight years. It will take eight years to pay for it. If it lasts nine or ten years, the county can bank the funds for the next cell and borrow less. Having a central site that is manned will cost money. The more hours the drop-off site is open and manned the more it will cost. Ultimately citizens have to decide how much convenience they are willing to pay for. U/HfcgEA/ COSTtCKE#.

Huntlv Dumpster Scrabble Dumpster ,N&r I r^oU & lOKl J ■ ■...—- — - North Opposed To the Editor In 1935 I graduated from the University of Virginia. I had received a fine education. But of even greater value to me. I had been given the gift of the University’s Honor System. Students at the University do not lie, do not steal, do not cheat. Nor do graduates. There are no exceptions, no excuses. Like many others, I assumed that the Virginia Honor System extended to all Virginians, at least as an honored heritage and a goal for/an honorable life. Although I do not now live in Virginia, I am shocked to learn that many Virginians no longer value that heritage, but are willing to consider electing to the United States Senate a man who has publicly acknowledged that he both lied and stole. Oliver North not only lied to the Congress. He took top secret documents, shredded them, or took them out of secure government buildings (hidden in his secretary’s underwear!) to hide them from the FBI. He converted checks entrusted to him in his work as a Presidential . aide to his own use. He arranged for the illegal sale of government property to an enemy of the i United States. He arranged for the illegal use of the profits from that sale. He was convicted as a felon; only a technicality removed that felony from his' record. For me, as a graduate of the University, there are no excuses acceptable for this behavior. However, Mr. North claims that he was acting under orders from the President of the United States or from Admiral Poindexter, his boss. Both of these gentlemen have denied giving him these illegal orders. But even if Mr. North's claims were valid, they would not excuse his behavior. As a Marine Crops Officer on activle duty, Lt. Col. North knew that in the American Military any soldier, from the lowliest private to the1 most highranking general, is required to refuse to obey an illegal order. That axiom was reconfirmed in recent years in the trial of Lt. Calley of My Lai infamy. As a retired Army officer, I can assure you that crimes committed by those who obey illegal orders are court martial offenses. Oliver North not only claims to be an adopted Virginian, he claims to be a Christian. Is it possible that Christians in Virginia can accept the casual breaking of the commandments? Does “Thou shalt not steal” mean nothing anymore in Virginia? “Thou shalt not bear false witness?” Nothing? Do Virginians today only obey these commandments when it is politically convenient? SANFORD M. ULLMAN Washington, D.C. Republican Plan Faulted To the Editor: How stupid do the Republicans think the American people are? Three hundred of them stood on the Capitol steps and promised us that if we elect them to Congress they will give us what Reagan promised us in 1981: tax cuts for the rich, increased defense spending and balanced budgets. Instead, we got a $3.5 trillion increase in the national debt, on which we are paying $250 billion dollars in annual interest, $1,000 a year for every man, woman and child in the nation. Since working men and women pay most of the taxes, and the wealthy own most of the bonds, this means a direct transfer of cash from middle-class taxpayers to the most wealthy among us. In contrast, President Clinton’s budget reform raised the income tax rates for 34,000 Virginians (mostly couples with annual incomes over $180,000) and increased the tax on the social security benefits of the wealthiest retirees. It also reduced the income tax for 300,000 working Virginians and gave us reduced budget deficits for three years in a row, for the first time since Harry Truman was president. Anybody who votes for a Republican for the U.S. Senate or House deserves what he or she gets. RON ROSS Arlington Asks Forgiveness To the Editor: I wish to let all know that I, Frangalina Maria Lopez, ask the forgiveness of the people of Flint Hill and Rappahannock County for what was done here as I ask God for forgiveness too. For I, who was a family with Cana, Michael and Melissa, have lied to her yet I love her and the kids with all my heart. But because of this trouble here and the lies I told her I have lost their love and their friendship which I hold so dear. I, who would die to Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Patterns are revealed in the view from Massie’s Corner looking northwest. protect them, can only say that I, by my personality, was the cause of the trouble, not Cana, who I will always cherish as if she were my own daughter. I also ask for the Paynes to forgive me for what my personality did to them. i I also ask that all pray for me that I can get the help I need to be one personality and one person not three, four or five, that I have a chance to repay that which was lost and do God’s will from now on. FRANGALINA LOPEZ , Washington Support Amendment To the Editor: On Nov. 8, Virginians can vote to protect children, deter crime and achieve justice. All they need to do is approve Constitutional Amendment #1 which will empower our legislature to make tough laws to hold child abusers accountable. Look into the childhoods of our growing number of criminals and you will see how many of them, as children, were vicitims of the anger, frustration and violence of adults. It is a fact: the ravages of child abuse produce adults that are often dysfunctional and unproductive, even destructive. By decreasing child abuse in this nation, we will produce more productive, healthier and less violent adults. And that will decrease crime, the cost of “entitlements,” reduce the cost of health care, and certainly reduce our prison population. While reducing child abuse will not cure all of our national ills, it is perhaps the one most significant step that we can take. It is important to know what Amendment #1 is and is not. This change is consistent with the due process clause of the U,S. Constitution. Amendment #1 is not an “open door” to the courtroom for any claims for negligent acts, as opposed to intertional ones, and it will not allow additional claims against corporations, churches, clubs, etc. Amendment #1 only allows the statute of limitations to be changed for cases involving individuals who intertionally injure children. I encourage you to support the ratification of Amendment #1 and to help educate the public regarding the importance of its ratification. Children are such easy and accessible victims—we must protect them. SYLVIA CLUTE Richmond ARS Programs Enjoyed To the Editor: When a Rappahannock small business ventures into a new area by offering good food, combined with family entertainment, they should be applauded and recognized. Such is the case of Gregg and Cindy Gillies who began early this year by bringing a family supper-club atmosphere to their Sperryville restaurant, The Appetite Repair Shop. Every Sunday night from 6 to 8 p.m., patrons eat, talk or listen to tuneful solo presentations by rising stars of the music world, some of whom are already known throughout the East. One such star appearing recently was Greg Howard, who presented a two hour program playing “The Stick,” an electronically enhanced stringed instrument that resembles a guitar minus its sound box. The instrument invented in 1969 by a Los Angles guitarist is being acclaimed country-wide for its unique versatility. Greg Howard, who has played before supper-club groups from New York to Florida is scheduled for a return engagement at the Sperryville restaurant on Nov. 6. Other artists who will appear are: on Oct. 16, Mark Caroway, folk and country music with his acoustic guitar; 0ct. 23, Bob Graman, storyteller through song and guitar; Oct. 30 Fred Boyce with his banjo playing everthing from Bach to Bluegrass; Nov. 6, return engagement for Greg Howard.' The popularity and local acceptance of the supper-club entertainment idea is indicated by a “full horse” patronage almost every night for the last 10 months. Thanks to the Gillies for their couragd in providing something new for Rappahannockans and visiting families to enjoy. MAURICE HERNDON Sperryville Democrats 1 Achieved Much ■ , i To the Editor: '' This is the third year in a row that the budget deficit has been cut. We have a crime bill that stiffened the penalties against violent offenders but also1 funded programs to avoid creating a new generation of criminals. There is a gun control law that has kept weapons out of the hands of felony offenders without infringing on the rights of legitimate gun owners and hunters. We have a family leave law so that if a family member is seriously ill, time can be taken to care for that loved one without fear of losing our job. For the first time in our history south of the border we have itervened militarily on behalf of the poor to promote democracy rather than a military dictatorship. Our military is seen as a force of justice by the majority of the Haitien people. We could have had a health reform bill that would have safeguarded the health needs of all Americans. We also could have had a campaign finance reform law so that lobbyists couldn’t buy and sell congresspeople. Republicans, playing party politics, shot down the last two measures. A Democrat president and Congress initiated and passed all the other measures. T Knlimrn tKn no i r should run on its record. It is a good one. When I look at the Republicans I see a party that wants to give a tax cut to the rich. To hell with the budget deficit. I see a party that would turn away from the Haitien people because the Haitiens are poor and black, not a Republican constituency. To hell with liberty and justice for all. I see a party that would lock up all the criminals and throw away the key rather than spend money up front to fund education and create jobs so that young people don’t turn to crime and drugs. Personally I’m sick of the Republicans lies and easy answer because the answers are too easy. Life is a lot harder and more complicated than they’d have us believe. I’m voting for Senator Robb even though he’s had flaws in his personal life. He’s admitted his personal wrongs and continued to work on legislation that would benefit us all. Oliver North, though, after being convicted of three felony counts and let off on a technicality, has continued to deny any wrongdoing. It would be a disgrace and embarassment to Virginia and its proud history to have this man representing us in the U.S. Senate. MARK WALLACE Flint Hill Opposes Detention Profit To the Editor: I wish to take exception to Col. ; Bingham’s suggestion that we use the Aileen factory to bring in a profit from the detention of 500 Wayward Children. Children are dependent on the adults in their lives for their physical, educational, emotional, spiritual and moral development. This ageold cultural mechanism is often prevented, by its own inadequacies, from succeeding. As a result, the child fails and suffers profoundly from that failure. Is it reasonable to suggest that we might profit from this failure? It seems wrong to seek profit from the abuse and neglect that has caused this discouraging state. MARY JANE CAPPELLO ! Socialism Defined To the Editor: It seems to me to be time somebody looked into a dictionary for the definition of the word “socialism:” My Webster’s new Collegiate defines it so: “Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownerhsip and adminstration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” It does not refer, as Ruth Richards (Sept. 28) seems to believe, to the legitimate support of the Federal government of the armed (forces, including the medical expenses of the members thereof. I must say, though, that while I fully agree that this is a legitimate expense, it has been my observation over the years that the private— commercial, if you will—practice of medicine is in almost every way superior to that offered to our military personnel. I wish it were less expensive, and perhaps some day it will be so, but I would be sorry to have to settle for the other. Also, please note, that contrary to Dr. Krebser’s assertion (Oct. 5), conservatives call the Clinton’s health plan socialist because it is socialist (see definition above), not for any other reason. Calling it socialism because we are against it, which is what Dr. Krebser says we are doing, would be lovely for the liberals because it would be foolish of us. They should be so lucky. EDITH POND Sperryville Need Lower Speed Limit To the Editor: For the last ten years I have attempted to persuade the Virginia Department of Transportation to lower the speed limit at Baldwins Grocery in Washington to 35 mph. Despite numerous letters and conversation with Bob Moore of VDOT expressing my concerns about the numerous children riding bikes and walking to Baldwins (including my own), this has not happened. Five years ago, thanks to the efforts of Daphne Hutchinson, the speed limit was lowered to 45 mph. This, in my opinion is still too fast. As we all know, 45 mph often means 55-65-75 mph to some. With no enforcement coming from the Sheriffs Department, this stretch of road remains a speedway to many. Unfortunately, last Sunday, Oct. 9, a serious accident occurred at Baldwin’s store. I do not know if speed was a factor in this accident, but it should be a wake up call to VDOT and the Sheriffs Department to finally do something about this potentially dangerous section of the road. What if a child on a bicycle had been cruising by at the same time. It have seen many near misses at Baldwin’s so let’s not wait until it’s too late. ROBIN PURNELL Washington

Registrar Nancy Leake has copies of the amendments and brief explanations of them put out by the State Board of Elections. Amendment 1 asks: Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to authorize the General Assembly to reopen and extend the statutory time period for bringing civil lawsuits which involve intentional injuries to minors? This amendment is primarily intended for civil cases involving childhood sexual abuse. Minors are considered adults at 18 and had two years after that, until they were 20, to bring lawsuits for abuse when they were children. In 1991, in response to testimony that victims of childhood sexual abuse may not remember the abuse or understand how the abuse has affected them until they are older and have gone to a physician or psychologist for help, the General Assembly amended the law to provide that victims may file a lawsuit up to age 28 and within two years of finding out about the abuse or harm from it. . The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that law unconstitutional as it applied to cases of abuse for people who had already turned 20 before the law was passed. The amendment would allow the General Assembly to pass the law and make it retroactive. Amendment 2 asks: Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to revise voter registration provisions, including two changes that will (1) delete the requirement that you must apply in person to register and allow registration by mail and (2) eliminate Your Authorized Butler* Dealer Since 1972 Specialists In Metal Buildings DESIGN • BUILD Everything You Need From One Specialized Source ENGINEERED BUILDING SYSTEMS • Fast Construction • L&L _ BUILDERS INC.

The 1993 National Voter Registration Act provides that states must let voters register by mail in federal elections and may not purge them from the lists of registered voters for failure to vote. If this amendment is passed the same laws will apply for registering to vote in state and local elections that apply in federal elections. If it does not pass, registrars will be required to keep two lists of voters, those eligible to vote in federal elections only, and those eligible to vote in all elections. The state association of registrars and the Virginia Association of Counties have both issued statements in support of approving this amendment. When County Administrator John McCarthy asked the Board of Supervisors to also support the amendment in a resolution. Amendment 3 asks: Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to revise the procedures followed (1) by the Governor to veto or propose amendments to bills passed by the General Assem bly and (2) by the General Assembly in response to the Governor’s vetoes or proposed amendments? j Currently bills passed by the General Assembly become law unless the Governor vetoes them if the General Assembly is in session but are considered vetoed unless the Governor signs them if the assembly is not in session.

Mangles, Bangles And Dangles JAMES J. KILPATRICK Unhenal Presa Syndicate A reader in Denver just sent me the faded clipping of an ad that appeared in the Rocky Mountain News in June 1967. It was an ad for a three-piece set of Farberware mixing bowls: “Designed to please a cook with round bottom for efficient beating.” Now, the text of that ad must have gone across half a dozen desks before it wound up in print. How could everyone have missed the ad’s appeal to cooks with round bottoms? The answer, I suppose, is that too often writers and editors read copy without listening to it. Listening is vital. The more we listen to our prose, the more likely we are to catch the mangled syntax and the dangling phrase. An AP correspondent in South Africa wasn’t listening in April when he wrote that fighting between rival factions “has left 100 persons dead a week.” A gruesome thought. Another AP writer passed along recommendations by public health officials for rodent control: “Do not sweep an area where there have been rodents with a broom.” We should sweep the area where there have been rodents with vacuum cleaners instead. Wandering antecendents can cause a heap of trouble. The San Antonio Express-News reported a manslaughter charge against a, 13year-old boy. “Defense attorney / Roberto Maldonado said the boy, whose father left home when he was a toddler, deeply regrets the accident.” (We remedy the confusion by writing, “whose father left home when Mark was a toddler.” At the time ice skater Tonya Harding was in the news, the Daily Clintonian in Clinton, Ind., carried a photo caption: “Tonya Harding j^ets into her truck after running out from the apartment where she is staying to keep it from getting towed in Beaventon, Ore.” Unless trucks are towing apartments in Beaventon, the writer had the wrong antecedent for “it.” I If we listen closely, we are likely to hear the dingle of a dangle. Here are a couple of fund-raising letters. From Citizens for a Sound Economy: “As one of CSE’s most valued members, I wanted to write you person- ' ally...” From Ronald Reagan: “As one of our party’s most dedicated supporters, I know that you agree...” In each instance we need a “you” to hang onto. “I wanted to write you as one of CSE’s most valued members...” “I know that as one of our party’s most dedicated supporters, you agree that...” A weekley paper in Colrado carried an intersting crime report: “Wearing a bad haircut with a blue rhinestone collar, a woman reported her missing poodle.” Hard to say what to do with that sentence. Here is a nice historical dangle from House Beautiful: “Designed in 1792 for $500 by James Hoban, an Irish architect, John Adams became the first U.S. president to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” This one, from the Washington Monthly last winter, defies successful editing: “McCummings’ profession was mugging. While attempting to rob and strangle a 71-year old in a subway station, a transit cop heard the victim’s cries and found him on the station platform being throttled by McCummings.” The best thing to do with that sentence is to shoot it. Thinking of shooting: Reporters seem to have a serious problem with homicides. In Fort Collins, Colo., “Spinhamey shot and killed 26-yearbld Leonard Zuchel four times.” In Rock Hill, S.C., “Both girls appeared to have been shot to death, possibly several times.” Some mangles tend to send read- 1 ers dead in their tracks, possibly several times. In San Antonio, “Juvenile Court Master Irma Hernandez ordered the boy detained on charges of engaging in juvenile conduct.” Well, that figures. In Portland, a father and his long-lost daughter were reunited after 22 years: “He shook, tears steaming down parts of his face that weren’t there when she w^as bom.” This isn’t exactly a mangle, but it will serve as one more reminder to listen to what we write. It comes from “Business Briefs” in the Sumner (Wash.) Communtiy Sun: “With more than 17 years of cutting and designing hair under his belt, Dave Brown has just opened Dave’s Family Hair Care at 926 Main Street.” All right, let’s hear it for Dave! And let’s listen to the sense of the stuff we write. Copyright 1994 Universal Press Syndicate s WEDDING STATIONERY "1 1 ; Beautiful Wedding Stationery INVITATIONS .

Herndons Enjoy Hornet Nest By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer , It’s happened again. Twentythree years ago, hornets built a nest on a picture window at Maurice and Jane Herndons’ house in Alexandria, and this time there is one on their bedroom window in Sperryville. “We think these are cousins of the ones in Alexandria. We treat them like relatives,” said Mrs. Herndon. , i The fascinating thing about the nest is that the entire nestbuilding operation can be safely observed from inside the bedroom window. AH of the hornets’ activities can be examined up close, and they are busy building onto the papery nest constantly, constructing tiers around the original cell of the nest, where the queen lives. As more workers are produced, the nest grows. ‘They are working their little tongues out,” said Mr. Herndon. When the first cold weather sets in, the hornets work furiously to build the nest faster and faster, even though the only one to survive the winter will be the queen. She will relocate to a pile of leaves or a tree stump to spend the winter. Next spring, she will be out searching for a new site to begin a nest, as the old one would not be reused, even if it were left in place. After the first frost, the hornets will leave the nest for good. “It is a contradiction of nature. They enlarge their home in anticipation of cold weather, and then commit mass suicide,” said Mr. Herndon. Their nest, which measured 18 inches wide by 24 inches high last Monday, will soon be evacuated. The queen began it in July, and because of the recent cool nights, it grew by an inch in the From the Herndon’s bedroom the inside can be observed. The white areas are the pupae. i. rv kill THE MILLER AUTO GROUP Gala New Car GIVEAWAY WIN - WIN - WIN .HEVY-OI *^EO- TOVOT^ 301 Wilson Street (304) 263-3341 Toll Fr«e 1-800-626-7789 1995 Geo Metro WIN - WIN - WIN 1995 Plymouth Neon MILLER'S CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH w JEEP-EACLI ^ U.S. Rt. 9/Kelly Island Rd.

Mr. Herndon said that he welcomes the hornets, as they eat “the bad bugs.” And they do not attack unless provoked. It has been a learning experience and a source of entertainment for the Herndons, and for any friends lucky enough to be invited to visit their bedroom and watch the goings-on of the family of approximately 100 hornets. The insects all enter the nest from one hole, about one inch wide, on the outside of the nest, or from the edge of the last tier completed. The Herndons have been very patient with the hornets. At this time of year, when the air-conditioning is no longer used, they usually remove their air-conditioner from the bedroom window, but the nest is built around part of the raised window where the air-conditioner fits. So they will wait until the last hornet has left the nest until they take the air-conditioner out for the winter. Mr. Herndon said that he would like to remove the nest as a whole and save it, but when he has tried that before, the nest collapsed. He also said that it takes quite a lot of work to get all of the nest off of the window, and he uses razor blades to do so. The Herndons enjoy watching , the hornets so much that they hope they don’t wait another 23 years before they visit again.

I WSA Hopes Less Water Will Enter System During Storms By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Water and Sewer Authority agreed to go ahead and purchase a vehicle for Troy Jenkins to use in his work. i At last Thursday’s meeting member Richard Smith read a letter from plant operator Donna Chabot saying that much had been accomplished since Mr. Jenkins started working full-time. She said that Mr. Jenkins was using his own vehicle to go around to the tanks on the system to work on them. Having to put pumps1 that must be worked on in his van makes it smell bad, she noted. When Ms. Chabot visited the WSA and raised this issue previously, she said she had a van she would be willing to sell for $200. At that time the authority decided to see if Mr. Jenkins could use the' pumping truck instead of purchasing another vehicle. Mr. Smith reported that Ms. Chabot’s van was still available. He said the pumping truck is not satisfactory because there isn’t any room in it to carry a pump or large tools such as shovels. Also it is inefficient to operate and difficult to get in and out of driveways, Mr. Smith re Everyone Can Shop Co-op s-A FALL HOLLIES 15% OFF Large selection of Helleri, Compacta, Blue Hollies, Nellie Stevens, Steeds, Foster, Inkberry, Winterberry, Dwarf Bur ford.

Coffey should talk with Mr. Jenkins about the van or a pickup truck and purchase a vehicle if it costs $300 or less. Mr. Smith provided a list of work Mr. Jenkins has done since September. The list was used for a quarterly report to the state Department of Environmental Quality on what the WSA had done to reduce the problem of infiltration of rainwater into the system. The members agreed that much has been done, but while daily flow has decreased, it will take another heavy rain to find out how effective the work has been. Chairman Gene Leggett reported he had been out of town and unable to meet with Mr. Estes to go over the budget. He said they would have a budget for the current year by next month. The board approved a resolution authorizing Peter Luke, as county attorney, to represent the WSA in taking legal action on John Shipman’s account which has been unpaid for over three years. Mr. Smith brought a draft of a proposal to charge potential customers with reserved sewer rights half the cost of regular sewer use. The WSA discussed the issue but took no action. Treasurer Carson Johnson, who has the longest tenure on the WSA, is to assemble all the resolutions he has records of to see what past policy has been. Mr. Leggett said the authority should also try to find out how other jurisdictions handle the issue. • * Some members are concerned that reserving EDUs for customers who don’t hook up may cost the authority money when all EDUs are used up and potentially paying customers have to be turned down. The WSA could also benefit from a larger 1 customer base now to avoid raising rates. , t State To Lose Regained TB-Free Status The United States Department of Agriculture has notified Virginia agriculture officials that tissue samples taken from a second cattle herd in Floyd County are postive for tuberculosis (TB) and as a result, Virginia will lose its TB-free status for its cattle industry for a minimum of two years. Once the test results are published in the Federal Register within the next several weeks, Virginia will officially become a “modified accredited state,” according to J. Carlton Courter III, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Boys' Cross Country Team Wins Match By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The RCHS boys’ cross country team won easily over Clarke and Manassas Park last Wednesday. Mark Jenkins and Eddie Sause tied for first and second place overall at 18:28. * “They are starting to come together. The younger kids are realizing what it takes to win,” said Coach David van de Graaff. RCHS finished the meet with 27 points; Clarke had 39, and Manassas Park had 56. Other runners finishing in the top 20 were R.J. White, seventh; Jeff Atkins, eighth; Jason Brown, ninth; Ray Atkins, 12th; and Mike Wolfe, 13th. For the girls, Caroline Baumgardner came in fifth, with a time of 27:05. The winner of the girls, from Clarke, finished at 23:38. The next cross country meet was to be held Oct. 12 at Stonewall Jackson, against Clarke, George Mason, ’Manassas Park and Stonewall Jackson. The next home meet will be on Oct. 19 against Clarke and Page Co. Both the varsity and junior varsity girls’ basketball teams lost twb games each this past week. On Oct. 4, Luray beat the junior varsity team 25-19. “We had beat them earlier in the season and we should have won,” said Coach Emily Wingate. She said that Dawn Havstad, who had 13 points, shot well but the team had trouble getting the ball to her. ii In the game against Central last Thursday, not only did the team lose 51-5, but player Erica Beaver sustained an injury. Coach Wingate said that Erica strained her knee and will be out for a couple of weeks. Central is a tough team and is second in the district. They also defeated the varsity team, 87-16. Despite the loss, Coach Laura Conklin is pleased with her team. She said that the Central coach told her that her team is playing a lot better than in the beginning of the season. “For the other coach to recognize that is really good,” she said. “It was Susan Jewell’s game. She had seven points and seven rebounds. She was very much alive for that game, and I was proud of her,” said Coach Conklin. The game against Luray on Oct. 4 was a lot closer, but Luray beat the varsity 47-33. Coach Conklin said that the main problem that night was that the players were not boxing out and getting the rebounds. She felt her team could have won if they had hustled more on defense. High scorers for the game were Jessica Arnold with 13 points; Janet Hitt with seven; and Susan Jewell and Sarah Gentry with four each. The next games will be at Brentsville this Thursday and at home against Stonewall Jackson next Tuesday. Panther Pause By Shamnom Eastham Various Events Planned For RCHS Homecoming It’s that time of the year again. A time when leaves slowly turn to crimson and farmers talk of early frost. Jack-O-lantems appear in windows and children run wild in purple dinosaur suits.

Come join us for “An Evening in Paris.” Have a terrific Homecoming, and thanks to the S.C.A. and the N.H.S. for all their hard work. Happy Halloween! By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Jane and Carl Coon told the audience at last Friday’s program at the library they found Kyrgystan in the former Soviet Union much more open than Xinjiang province in China. In 1993 they toured in Central Asia. Mr. Coon said when they crossed the border, “The landscape was the same, the climate was the same, the hats and yurts looked the same, but the atmosphere was very different.” He said in Kyrgystan everything was open, but on the Chinese side of the border “everything is frozen, static.” In both areas the people were predominantly Muslim and some still follow a nomadic life style. In parts of Xinjiang province the r Han Chinese have moved in. “It’s a very colonialist situation,” Mr. Coon said. Mrs. Coon’s talk was illustrated with color transparencies made from watercolor paintings done by Elizabeth Booz, who traveled with them part of the way. Mrs. Coon had a career with the foreign service, which she gave up for nine years when she married Mr. Coon. Once state department policy changed on foreign service wives having their own careers in the foreign service, she resumed her career, and for three years they had a commuter marriage when he was ambassador to Nepal while she was ambassador to Banledesh. Mrs. Coon said they had been unable to travel in Central Asia and were curious about what lay beyond the border settled between Russia and England in the 19th century. So following the breakup of the Soviet Union they were eager to travel in that area. She said the new countries in Central Asia that were a part of the Soviet Union are conscious of the need to keep ties with Russia but are exploring new trade opportunities. “Mosques are springing up like mushrooms,” she said. She said Kyrgystan was considered the Switzerland of the Soviet Union, and workers went there on vacations. “There is little nostalgia for communist ideology, but many miss the perks like housing, lifetime jobs, and free vacations,” she said. “There was predictability, now everything is uncertain.” She said in Osh their guide was a former KGB agent. Comparing points of view with him of the war in i Afghanistan helped “close my personal chapter on the Cold War,” she said. They also traveled briefly to the city of Chungdu. There so many people have motor scooters and even small cars that there is gridlock, Mr. Coon said. He said that experience made him sympathize with Chinese policies of strict population control. Then they traveled to Tibet. He said when he lived in Nepal, he always wanted to visit Tibet, “that mysterious theocracy at the top of the world.” He said that he does not expect China to break up like the Soviet Union, but if “the Chinese Empire breaks up, Tibet will be the first to go.” He said the Tibetans don’t like the Chinese, and the Chinese aren’t “physiologically adapted” to living at such altitudes. t WCDS Sports Teams Start Well X-Country Girls Lead Conference Wakefield Country Day School’s fall sports teams are off to a strong start. The boys’ soccer team playing at home defeated Woodberry Forest Friday September 30, 7 to 2. David Brandt scored five of the goals and Tim Burke scored two. “Strong defense was exhibited by goalie Yogi Sulistyo and defenders Sey Shin, Andrew Nilan, Nick Konick and Thad Zimmer,” according to Coach Matt Vanderwoode. On Saturday October 1 the cross country teams traveled to Seton to compete with Seton, Fredericksburg Christian, Notre Dame and Massanutten. The girls’ team placed first “with strong performances by Bridget, Kristin, and Elizabeth Hickson,” according to Coach Fred Chandler. The boys’ team placed second “with key efforts from Paul Hanshohn, Peter Hickson, Mark Zimmer, Colby Cowherd and Hong Joon Chun,” he reported. On Tuesday, October 4 the boys’ soccer team racked up another victory at home defeating Wakefield School (Marshall) 5 to 1. Again David Brandt led the scoring with four goals. Paul Hansohn added the fifth. In a rematch with Woodberry Forest at Woodberry Forest the r WCDS squad lost 4 to 6. Coach Venderwoode said the team had a strong second half “but couldn’t hang on for the victory." David Brandt, Yonnan Boya, Tim Burke and Mark Zimmer each scored one goal. Monday the team lost to Emmanuel 1 to 7 in an away game. David Brandt scored the lone WCDS goal. This brings the team record to 2 to 2 in Delaney Conference plan and 3 and 3 overall. The girls’ volleyball team also is off to a good start with a four wins to one loss record after a double match with Wakefield (Marshall). The Lady Owls won the first match two games to none and the second two games to one. Bridget Hickson, Laura Beeton, and Coleen O’Donnell were the outstanding players of the match, according to coach Pam Henry. In the second game of the second match Welby Lynn scored seven points, and Elizabeth Nugent scored five. Following a first-place finish in a meet at Notre Dame Academy with Notre Dame, Seton and Fredericksburg Christian Academy over the weekend, the girls’ cross country team is in first place in the Delaney Athletic Conference. The boys’ team is in second place. 1 Double Dare You ---ff mmm mm Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Intermural basketball is underway at RCES.

The items stolen from Mr. Payne are worth over $35,000. Much of the form equipment was sold by Lopez in Culpeper, but has since been recovered. According to Mayor Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, Mr. Payne vadued the ring, which Lopez denies taking, at $600. He said that Cana DeWare said she lost the ring, and that Mr. Payne had given it to her. Major Streapy also said that some of the furniture has been recovered from an antique dealer in Maryland. r The $250 credit authorization received from DSS allowed Lopez to shop at K-Mart for Christmas presents for Lopez’s alleged children. Receipts from K-Mart show that some of the items purchased were doll accessories, earrings, pantyhose, a brassiere, cassettes, a baby doll, womens’ clothing and a • Barbie. Lopez is due to be sentenced at 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 1, if the pre-sentencing report is reaidy by that date. Until that time, Lopez will remain incarcerated in the Rappahannock County Jail. Lopez has been and will continue to be kept separate from other prisoners. In a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, Cana DeWare, 21, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to two counts of petit larceny. Mr.’ Luke said that Ms. DeWare hadbeen arrested in New York along, with Frangalina Lopez and returned, to Rappahannock County. “Ms. DeWare agreed to testify against Frangalina Lopez,” he said. He said that among other things she was prepared to testify that she was not; Lopez’s daughter. Because she had been in jail since last February and had served more than the maximum sentence for petit larceny, Mr. Luke asked that she be released from jail the next day. A relative of Ms. DeWare had arranged for a plane ticket for her to be flown to California to be reunited with her family. From there she is expected to travel to New York for counseling and to try to regain custody of her two children, who have been in foster care there. ►Schools From Page A-l addition and work with parents and studerits to determine what to do with the pre-school class passed unanimously. Ron Makela and Kaye Kohler from Amissville had a suggestion that would eliminate the need to make a decision on that. They said they represented several parents who were concerned about the size of kindergarten classes and asked for a fifth section of kindergarten. Dr. Gangel said that a teacher had been hired to provide alternative education and in-school suspension who could have taught kindergarten if the number of students in the class reached 92. There are currently 86 students in kindergarten, he said. The elementary school faculty set a high priority on finding aiway to deal with a small number of children “who are out of control,” he said. “It’s not fair to the other children in the classes when the situation is out of control,” he added. When there are no children needing that program the teacher is free' to work as an extra hand with kindergarten. That is what she is now doing, he said. But usually the severe discipline problems are greater in the second semester. ! Mr. Makela said, “My concern is there are a lot of efforts on both ends of the scale and results reflect that. The kids in the middle tend to float.” - I Chairman Beverly Massie said she was also concerned about the average child. ‘The two ends take a great deal of money,” she said. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole said he had also received a call from a parent concerned about crowded kindergarten classes. f The board heard a report from the committee working on improving the college preparatory curriculum. They suggested offering more advanced placement classes and requiring students planning to go to college to take more academic subjects. The board learned that enrollment was at 1,008 at the end of September. The budget was based on an average daily membership through March of 1,010. Dr. Gangel said he felt the schools will be on target for the budget. I Assistant superintendent Robert Chappell reported that work on the addition is behind schedule. Instead of having substantial completion by early October, the contractors are expected to be nearly complete be the beginning of November. He said he believes it will still be possible to move on November 18. The board approved a senior trip to Seven Springs resort in Pennsyvania. The seniors hope to leave after school on a Tuesday in early March and return Sunday. They will have the opportunity to ski and participate in various activities including a dance for people under 21 Saturday night. Dr. Gangel announced that pupil personnel director Margarita Piper will retire at the end of June. He asked the board for authorization to advertise for the position now so that the person hired will have an opportunity to work with Mrs. Piper before she leaves. The board approved this with the understanding that the new person will not be paid until July. Dr. Chappell reported on home schooled children. He said that parents applied to home school 30 children last year and 25 this year. Six children have returned to the public schools from home schooling this year, he said. In addition nine students were approved for religious exemption from public education last year and six additional this year. Parents are not required to re-apply each year for religious exemption. However, eight students previously approved for religious examption have returned to public school this year, he added. The board approved changing the addresses of the schools so they can be served by the Washington Post Office. Currently Wilson Atkins goes to Sperryville to pick up mail and deliver it to the two schools and the School Board office. The Washington Post Office will deliver the mail to the schools. The board approved field trips and fundraising activities. Mr. Makela suggested many people would prefer giving a cash contribution to buying products the students sell. He asked the board to find a way to make that posssible. FREE Cider V & Apples. Come in and set a spell!

• Community News • Obituaries t Rappahannock News_ Countryside Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1994 j Photo courtesy of William Young The house and vineyard at Farfelu will be open for the House Tour this weekend. Flower Sale, House Tour Set If it were Irish, it would be a little bit daft, or English, a touch bonkers, but it is French and farfelu. And so it must have seemed when Chuck Raney, an airline pilot, now retired, and his family came to the apple country of Rappahannock and planted a few grape vines in 1967. Now, the wine industry is well established in Virginia, but then, in the middle of apple country, the whole idea of a vineyard seemed a little farfetched. Determination won out and Farfelu became Virginia’s first licensed winery. The vineyard has seven acres in grapes; three are producing. As all of the grapes come from the Raney vineyard, the winery is and will re main small. It produces between 5,000 and 10,000 cases annually. The winery will be open for the tour. Mr. Raney and his late wife modeled the winery after those they saw in Europe when Mr. Raney was stationed there with the U.S. Navy. In 1969, they began to build the winery and the house which they designed. The family searched the fields and neighborhood for the stones which make the thick walls of the house. Stone, wood, and glass blend to form a back drop for their collections of pre-Columbian art and Strasburg, Virginia crockery. The glass provides views of the countryside and of the tennis court which was added by the present Mrs. Raney. Interestingly, the house is divided so that ! the children’s room are self-contained. Farfelu will be open for the House Tour sponsored by the Episcopalwomen of Bromfield Parish this weekend from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Tea will be served both days at Farfelu from 2 to 5 p.m. i Tickets may be purchased at any of the houses or at the Parish Hall. The tour costs $3.50 per house or $10 for a block ticket good for all three houses. ,i Dried flower arrangements! will be sold at the Trinity Church Parish Hall during the same hours as the tour. //' Show Opens at Windflower The Windflower Gallery in Washington will hold a fall premier opening reception from 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14 introducing the photography of Ted Pellegatta and water colors by Pamela Bowers and featuring new works by Tanya M. Richey. The show continues through Nov. 30. Ted Pellegatta says “My goal is to bring to other people what I see in Rappahannock County. Not just the views but the mood, the feeling of this incredible place.” Viewing the photographs that greet you as you / enter the 1747 log cabin that is Windflower Gallery, it looks like Pellegatta has reached his goal. His note cards let you share a very intimate look at Rappahannock County with your friends. Next, to your left you will find watercolors of fall landscapes, splashed full of brilliant and soft color, capturing the essence of the season. This is the work of Pamela L. Bowers. “Often God’s creations are dramatic. Trees are found in much of my work, I see vibrant colors in landscapes and trees as dramatic living powerful creations of God,” says Mrs. Bowers who has a fine arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and a masters in art therapy from George Washington University. Her other joy is seen in the hand painted animal prints and notecards you can commission her to do of your pet. Pamela teaches classes for children with Kids R Smart and Fauquier County Parks and Recreation. Tanya will show her latest townscape, Sperryville. It has been a work in progress for three years and has become a composite of Sperryville Festivals which is when she dragged it down and popped it up against a tree or the hood of her van and worked on it in the midst of festival onlookers. Last year she completed a painting for the Airlie Foundation which consists of the entire 3,000 acre conference center complete with geese flying in from Canada, prints of which will be at the gallery or can be found at Airlie House. These large townscapes are only one facet of this artist’s work which runs from delicate wild flowers to bold expressionist images on exotic surfaces. For more information contact Tanya Richey at 675-1113 or Pamela L. Bowers at 347-7824. Print courtesy of Tanya Richey This vision of Windflower Gallery itself is part of the show. Take in Summer Palace Is Highlight of China Trip By DIANA BIRD i. Rappahannock News Contributing Writer From mid June and into July, my husband and I traveled with a tour meeting in Beying to board a train at the Chinese Great Wall. We went north to Mongolia where we entrained the old Orient Express to be taken to Moscow—accompanied by lectures in a variety of disciplines and tour officials who planned our visits at stops along the way and magnificantly eased the hazards of international travel. The following observations aim to give some impressions, not a comprehensive account of the journey. In 1903 the artist Katherine A. Carl began living at the Chinese Imperial court in Beijing to paint a portrait of the Empress Dowager, Tzu Hsi, for display at the 1904 St. Louis Exposition celebrating the centenial of the Louisiana Purchase. When the fair closed, the picture was sent to Washington, D.C. where it is housed in the Museum of American Art. In the book Katherine Carl wrote about her unique experiences of daily life over a period of a year with the Em National Gallery Quartet Concert Scheduled at Theatre On Saturday, Oct. 22 at 8 p.m. the award-winning National Gallery of Art Vocal Quartet appears for the first time at the Theatre at Washington. The concert includes music of Mozart, Purcell, Dvorak, and Brahms. English folk songs conclude the program. The Quartet, features Rosa Lamoreaux, soprano, Beverly Benso, alto, Samuel Gordon, tenor, and Robert Kennedy, baritone, and is under the artistic direction of George Manos, director of music at the national Gallery. Since its 1985 debut the Quartet has excited audiences with the almost limitless repertoire of music for one to four voices ranging from the renaissance to the twentieth century. WGMS Music Critic, Paul Hume, has described the group as “a voal ensemble truly capable of performing the wealth of beautiful chamber music that exists...four excellent voices...a handsomely balanced ensemble...” The Quartet performs regularly at the national Gallery, has appeared at the Theingau Festival in Germany and the Scandinavian Music Festival in Denmark and has made many other appearances in Germany, Austria, Italy and the former Yugoslavia. The Quartet will make its Paris debut at the Louvre in the spring of 1995. In addition to plaudits for their appearances as a Quartet, the four individual singers have received critical acclaim from around the world. Tickets for the performance on Oct. 22 are $13.50 with reservation, and $15 at the door./For reservations and further information, phone the Theatre at 675-1253. Kings Dominion Auditions Set Producers from Paramount Parks will embark on atalent search—a wide-ranging quest to cast talented individuals in performance roles and crew positions at their five North American theme parks, including Kings Dominion. Paramount Parks producers expect to audition and interview thousands of hopeful performers for a variety of entertainment positions including singers, dancers, actors, costume character performers, instrumentalists, show hosts and theater technicians. Those interested in auditioning should phone Paramount Parks Design and Entertainment in Charlotte, N.C. at (704) 559-4609, or contact the entertainment department at Paramount’s Kings Dominion, P.O. Box 2000, Doswell, Va. 23047 or (804) 876-5142. Auditions for Paramount’s Kings Dominion will be held in the Phillips Center at James Madison University from 3-7 p.m.. on Monday, Nov. 14 and at King Cominion from noon to 7 p,m. on Sunday, Nov. 20. press and t her entqurage, she has this to say about Kimming Lake at the Summer Palace oft the outskirts of the city: “Her majesty’s own barge lay at the foot of the marble steps....She descended the steps and entered the barge. Her majesty sat in the yellow, throne-like chair in the middle of the raised platform...When I stepped on, ‘she’ motioned me to come near her and sit at her right...There were two rowers on the barge who stood with their long oars to guide it, for it was attached by great yellow ropes to two boats, manned by twenty four rowers each... “We were rowed across the lake to one of the islands, and when we looked back at the Palaces, the memorial arches, the temple-crowned hills, the curious camel-back bridges, and the beautiful white marble terrances jutting out into the lake with its islands, the scene was indeed fairy-like.” I had wanted to experience the Summer Palace as its former inhabitants had done and on this visit in June, we were taken directly to the boats and for a ride such as Miss Carl had taken—without, however, the ceremony and festivity associated with a royal outing. The buildings at the Summer Palace, which was the Empresses’ favority place to be, are so numerous and it is such a popular tourist attraction, that exploring it from the lake is particularly to be preferred. The lake occupies three quarters on the park’s area. Although China is obviously overcrowded, it is not unusual to find a spacious park such as the Summer Palace has become for the public. The Temple of Heaven, almost an official symbol of Bering, is likewise in a very large park, and the Forbidden City, the traditional residence of the Imperial family and the center of government is conspicious for its grandeousity. It top is now essentially a public park. Perhaps this all-out-doors sense one has in China is owing to the Chinese primarily living out of doors and thinking of shelter as just that— not as living space. On our way into the Forbidden City, we walked by an instant barber shop, people lined up on the sidewalk having their hair cut, just as I have seen picture of similar outdoor enterprises in photographs taken around the turn of the century. The Imperial settings were planned to impress, and even though, as they were originally used, the public wasn’t part of the scene, Chinese rulers expected to overwhelm with size as well as with spectacular architecture and art all who came within range of the Emperor and Empress. What a boon today for Beijing residents, since the dwellings occupied by the average person are cut up and filled up compounds from the days before the revolution. While there are many new apartments, people living near the heart of Beijing occupy, for the most part, desolately poor quarters with primative water and sanitary facilties. Recently I had occasion to study the history of public parks and recrewj wm. ..—11 . ' Customers are waiting at an outdoor barbershop. ational amenities of Europe and the United States. I learned that the remarkable park system of London descends from royal holdings not unlike those in Beijing. Officials in China, Mongolia and Russia worry about their claims to land that is so inhospitable that few people can be supported upon it and few can be persuaded to inhabit it. The Gobi Desert, which we crossed in China and Mongolia is that sort of land, as is much of Siberia. The Chinese train that we boarded at the Great Wall stopped at the Mongolian border for us to change to the Orient Express at Erlian, a frontier looking place. On some maps, Erlian has other names. Erlian is where it is, to secure that area for China. There were a number of police and military personnel about. The inhabitants ofte'n looked dark and tough as if they spent most of the day out of doors, and there were dozens of pool tables at outdoor “pool halls.” We noticed these things walking from the train platform about a mile into town where there was an extensive market under tent-like shelter. We passed a school yard where beautifully dressed children played behind a wrought iron fence surrounding the school grounds. The business of train changing and later on border crossing took up half a day and half a night.

Youngsters are naturally curious. Though their methods may be simplistic. their lack of refinement is overshadowed by an overabundance of determination. Repeatedly, we hear. "Why?" That is how a child learns...by asking one who knows. As the child grows to adulthood, the questions become more difficult and the answers more elusive. Where does one go? Most solutions are found through experience and in the w ritten word. It has been said that children live what they learn. If their experience has been to learn of God's wisdom and love at an early age. they w ill likely search His Word for answers to more complex issues as an adult. In Matthew 7:7. we read..."Seek, and you will find: knock, and it w ill be opened to \ ou." Seek God this Sabbath in your local church or s\ nagogue. Ask the One Who knows.

October is Festival Month in Madison ’ Ihe German settlers who first Ventured into the Hebron Valley over 250 years ago and settled what is now Madison County might have called the period were are now in Oktoberfest. It is now known as the Apple Harvest, the fete des Vendanges, or “Sorghum Season.” But by whatever name, the beginning of autumn is an exhilarating, enchanting, and breathtaking beautiful time of year in the foothill of the Blue Ridge Mountaons. Longtime residents, relatives newcomers, and first-time visitors revel in the sunny autumn days and crisp, cool mornings and evenings as nature sharply defines the lofty mountain ridges from the deep blue sky and brushes the fields and leaves '' with vibrant colors. Highlights of this October are if the annual Graves’ Mountain Lodge Apple Harvest Festival in Syria, the ninth annual Fete des Vendanges, (Wine Festival) at Prince Michel Winery in Leon, and the third annual Madison County Sorghum Festival in Hood. These three major events from a triangle at three comers of the county and enclose a host of supporting events including the Brightwood Rutian Harvest Barbecue, Oct. 22 and the Madison County Library Arts and Crafts Silent Auction, Oct. 24 and Nov. 5. The Graves’ apple festival has been drawing people to Syria by the care and busload for 26 yeras. This year, the Apple Harvest Festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 16. Arts and crafts displays, hayrides, horsebacks rides, bluegrass music, doggers and great food in an outdoor setting are among the fea tures.

About one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime,” said Gloudeman. Dr. Gloudeman stresses that there is no need to be afraid to learn about breast cancer. “If you remember only one thing about breast cancer it should be this: Your best protection is early detection. Early detection provides the best opportunity to treat breast cancer successfully,” stated Gloudeman. < Mima Suter, RT (R) (M), mammorgraphy technician at Culpeper Memorial Hopsital, urges women and their families to come and hear Dr. Gloudeman speak. “Every woman is at risk for breast cancer. By following a simple early detection program, breast self-exams and mammograms, many women could save their own lives,” said Suter. “Over 90 percent of breast cancer is found by the patient, usually by accident. With early detection, the five year survival rate reaches 93 percent,” she added.

Fall Soil Management By DR. DIANE RELF ■Uffuiir.iock Newt Contributing Writer Gardeners often wonder whether to do their plowing or tilling in the spring or fall. Working the soil in the fall has serveral advantages over the traditional spring plowing. It allows for earlier planting, since the basic soil preparation is already done when spring arrives. The turning under of a large amount of organic matter is likely to result in better decomposition when done in the fall, as autumn soil temperators are higher than those of early spring, and there is more time for the process to take place. Working in Fall Reduces Some Problems Insects, disease organisms and perennial weeds may be reduced by fall plowing both because they end up underground or exposed to harsh winter weather. The physical condition of heavy clay soil may be imr proved by the alternate freezing and thawing, which breaks apart tightly aggregated particles. When snow is trapped between the hill of roughly-plowed soil, more moisture is retained than on flat, bare ground. Incorporation of limestone in the fall gives the mineral time to becomes integrated into the soil and influence spring plant growth. To prepare for fall tilling, you should check soil fertility and pH by having you soil analyzed through the local Extension office. / Soil pH measures the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. The correct soil pH is essential for optimum plant growth. Vegetables vary in their requirements, but most garden crops do well with a soil pH of 6.2 to 6.8. This is a little below neutral of slightly acid. If soil pH is too high or low, poor crop growth will result, largely due to the effects of pH on the availability of nutrients to plants. A soil test also will give you an idea of the nutrient level in your soil. J ' Soil Tests Tell Gardeners What To Add Lime and sulfur are commonly used to change soil pH. Dolomitic limestone adds calcium and magnesium as it increases pH. Sulfur acidifies aklaline soil. The amount to add depends on the current and desired pH. This is the reason you should have your soil checked periodically, at least once every three years. Wood ashes are often use as a soil amendment. They contain potash (potassium), phosphate, boron and other elements. Wood ashes can be used to raise soil pH with twice as much ash applied as limestone for the same effect. Ashes should not come into contact with germinating seedlings or plant roots as they may cause root bum. Spread a thin layer of ashes prior to winter, and incorpo rate it into the soil. Check pH yearly if you use wood ashes. Never use coal ashes or large amounts of wood ashes (not more than 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet), as toxicity problems can occur. Animals manures are commonly used directly as a garden soil amendment both to improve soil structure and to increase nutrients. The value of manure in terms of the nutrients it contains varies. Fresh horse, sheep, rabbit and poultry manures are quite high in nitrogen and may even “bum” plants if applied directly to a growing garden. They are best applied in the fall and tilled under. Don’t Work Steep Hillsides Fall plowing is not recommended for hillside or steep garden plots since the soil, left exposed all winter, is subject to erosion when the spring rains come. Spring plowing is also better for sandy soils and those where shallow tilling is practiced.

It is the Oktoberfest Craft Show Planned Oct 14.15 The 15th annual Oktoberfest and Open Craft Show sponsored by St. John’s Parish will be celebrated from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15 on the school and parish grounds near King and Winchester in Old Town Warrenton. The St. John’s community has planned a groaning board of its famous Oktoberfest food and drink, a lively German band, and an open craft show to delight the visitor. The Oktoberfest Bakery, raffles of all sorts, door prizes, and children’s games promise amusement for all. The German Band entertains on Friday from 7-9 p.m. and on Saturday from 12-5 p.m. as accompaniment to the merriment and feasting on grilled brautwurst, German potato salad, sauerkraut, beef, wine, sodas, and a miscellany of tempting desserts. From 6 until 9 p.m. on Saturday the Oompah Five plays traditional German music. Saturday’s morning festivites include the In Motion Performance Troupe at 10 a.m., a Karate demonstration at 10:30 a.m. and the Warrenton Gymnastics Team at 11:15 a.m. An open craft show from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday offers the shopper one-of-a-kind purchases. Raffles of cash and prizes as well as chances for free door prizes are slated for both days. Children’s games are especially designed for the little and not-solittle people attending St. John’s Oktoberfest.

Flour Facts By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Acent, Home Economic! It’s that time of year again when the baking season begins. During this time the Extension Office receives many questions, so my foods and nutrition column this week includes a description of the various types of flours available and answers to many commonly asked questions regarding baking performance. All-Purpose Flour This flour is call all-purpose because it is suitable for all types of baking. It is a blend of select hard and soft wheats, which gives it this quality. Bleaching agents are used in small amounts to whiten the flour and improve baking results. For best results, use recipes development for all-purpose flour. If it is neccessary to use all-purpose flour in recipes calling for self-rising flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt for each cup of flour. Unbleached Flour ? -k J Unbleached flour is an all-purpose flour without the bleaching process. Unbleached flour is not as white as all-purpose flour; therefore, baked products such as white bread will have more of a creamy color. Self-Rising Flour Self-rising flour is an all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt added, success is ensured by using recipes specifically developed for self-rising flour. Cake Flour Cake flour is milled from soft wheat to produce a flour especially excellent for baking biscuits, pastries and tender, fine-textured cakes. Substitute cakes flour for allpurpose flour by increasing the flour measurement by 2 tablespoons per cup. Bread Flour Bread flour is an unbleached flour make from a special blend of wheats higher in protein than wheats used in all-purpose flour. Protein prduces gluten that gives structure-building properties rquired in baked products, particularly in those made with yeast as a leavening agent. Bread flour absorbs greater quantities of water and has a more elastic dough-handling characteristic than all-purpose flour. It contains a small amount of ascorbic acid to improve dough handling and produce better volume and crumb structure in bread. These qualities make bread flour excellent for yeast bread baking and other yeast-raised baked products. It is also suitable for quick breads and cookies. It is least suitable for delicate baking, such as cakes and pastries. Bread is the ideal flour for use in automatic bread machines because it is high in gluten-forming proteins. Whole Wheat Flour Whole wheat flour is milled to an even, medium-fine granulation from the complete wheat kernel (bran, germ and endosperm). Do not sift, as sifting will clog the sifter, and flavorful, nutritious particles that distinguish this flour will be lost. Whole wheat flour produces satisfactory breads, quick breads, cakes, cookies and pie crusts. Success is ensured by using recipes spe HOME ECONOMICS cifically developed for whole wheat flour. However, whole wheat flour can be incorporated into all-purpose flour recipes by using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour. Questions and Answers About Flour i What is in a kernel of wheat? A kernel of wheat is a storehouse of nutrients. Wheat products can provide significant amounts of protein, complex carbohydrates, the E vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin anc niacin) and iron. i What parts of the wheat kernel are used in flour? Endosperm, which consists ol about 83 percent of the wheat kernel, is present in all flours. Bran is used in whole wheat flour and comprises about 14.5 percent of the kernel. Wheat germ is also included in whole wheat flour, comprising about 2.5 percent of the kernel. Wheat germ is the embryo, or sprouting section of the seed and usually is separated because it contains some fat which limits the storage life. What is the difference between hard and soft wheats? Hard wheats are higher in protein content, which will form a stronger fluten structurs. Gluten provides the structure in baked products. Therefore, hard wheats are especially suited for making yeast bread. Soft wheats are better suited for making cakes, pastries and biscuits. They are lower in protein content and form a weaker gluten structure, producing a more tender product. i Why is flour enriched? In milling all-purpose flour, the endosperm, or center of the kernel, is separated from the wheat germ and wheat bran that surround it. The wheat germ and bran contain some of the nutrients of the Whole kernel. The flour is enriched by th^ addition of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and iron to replace the lose of these nutrients. Why is flour bleached? Because freshly milled flour may not make consistently high-quality baked products, it must be stored 1 for several months in order that natural oxidation occur. Oxidation produces a whiter flour and results in products with a finer texture and improves baking quality. Food technologists have devised chemical methods to quickly age and whiten flour and improve baking performance. Bleaching and maturing agents are added to obtain the same effect on flour as natural aging. As a result of bleaching, the consistency of high-quality baked products has improved. How should flour be stored? All flours should be stored in airtight canisters in a cool dry; place. All-purpose unbleached, bread and cake flour should be used with 15 months; self-rising flours with 9 months; whole wheat and whole wheat blend flours within 6 to 8 months. If flour is to be kept over an extended period of time, it is recommended that it be stored in an moisturproof, vaporproof bag in the refrigerator or freezer. Bring flour to room temperature before using. How should flour be measured? All flour is sifted many times during the milling process. The primary reaspon that older recipes called for siftiiig flour was to help ensure that the amount of flour measured in a cup was consistent from cup to cup, and from consumer to consumer so that recipes would turn out the same every time. If your old recipe calls for sifted flour and you do not want to sift it, there is no need to adjust the amount of flour in the recipe. To obtain the most accuurate measurement of flour, spoon flour into a standard dry-ingredient measuring cup and level with a knife or spatula. What flour can be substituted cup for cup? ' For most recipes all-purpose bread and unbleached can be substituted cup for cup. When subsituting all-purpose flour for cake flour, decrease flour measurement by 2 tablespoons per cup. This is not recommended for delicate cakes such as angel food/sponge cakes or cake requiring several preparation steps (i.e., creaming, folding ingredients). Substituting all-purpose flour by increasing flour measurement 2 tablespoons per cup. A subsitution of cake flour for all-purpose flour may cause sinks or a callapse, a rubbery layers or a wet, soggy texture. It is not recommended for most yeast breads. 11 Is the nutritional value of bleached flour equal to unbleached? Yes. Enriched white flour and/or enriched white bread contribute protein, carbohydrates, calories and significant amounts of several other important nutrients. Enriched white flour has comparable or even higher levels of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and iron than does whole grain flour. Although some trace nutrients may be lost in the milling process, these usually can be obtained in adequate amounts from a well-balanced diet.
