' i i By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board voted Tuesday night to release Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell from his contract so he can accept a position as Superintendent of Essex County Public Schools, j I Board members said they werp accepting his resignation “with great regret.” V Dr. Chappell expects to start work in his new pcntitToriTJeCernber 1.* * He has been with the Rappahannock County School System for twelve and a half years, five years as principal at the high school and seven and a half as assistant superintendent. During his years here he , See Chappell, Page A-8 // / North Carries County By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Bucking the statewide vote the Rappahannock electorate chose Oliver North by a 49 percent to 43 percent with Marshall Coleman gamering a mere 8 percent of the county vote. An impressive 72 percent of the county’s registered voters cast ballots in the race for U.S. Senate. Statewide Sen. Charles Robb won reelection to his second term collecting 46 percent of the vote to 43 percent for Col. North and 11 percent for Marshall Coleman. Rep. Frank Wolf easily won reelection against relatively unknown rivals. The state Democratic Party chose not to field a candidate against him. Rep. Wolf won more than 83 percent of the county vote. On the three amendments to the Virginia Constitution county voters supported the first, which affects the laws on child abuse, but turned down the other two which would allow registration for state races by mail and would change the way governors may veto or amend bills passed in the General Assembly. Statewide all three amendments were approved. According to Capital News Service, Republican Party heavyweights blamed senior Virginia Sen. John Warner for Oliver North’s loss, vowing revenge in 1996. G.O.P. Chairman Patrick McSweeney said Sen. Warner’s endorsement of Marshall Colemen “hurt out r party...things have to be done so we have tighter discipline within the Republican party.” Mike Ferris, who lost his bid last fall for Lieutenant Governor, said Sen. Warner “will be challenged” for the Republican nomination in 1996. He said he was considering taking on the challenge himself. Sen. Warner said he intends to run for reelection in 1996 and welcomes challengers. He said he intends to enter the Republican primary. But the party does not have to hold a primary in 19%. It may instead select its nominee in a convention as the party did this year. In that case, Sen. Warner may have a very difficult time overcoming resentment of the role he played as Marshall Colemen’s principal sponsor. Sen. Robb and Col. North each carried three precincts in Rappahannock County, with North easily winning Amissville, Scrabble and Chester Gap while Sen. Robb carried Flint Hill, Washington, and Sperryville. In Sperryville his margin was a slight six votes. The Scrabble precinct reported lour votes for former Gov. Douglas Wilder, who dropped out of the race after the ballots were printed. Sen. Robb’s victory countered Republican gains elsewhere in the nation Tuesday night when the G.O.P. appeared headed for control of both houses of Congress. i ' ' ■ Unofficial Election Results Rappahannock County - All Precincts Reporting Precinct U.S. Senate i i Robb North Coleman House of Reps.

Staff Writer School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board Tuesday night that very few parents were willing to have their children switched to a new fifth section of kindergarten, and as a result the schools would keep the children in four classes but provide more help. At last month’s meeting two .parents . asked the board to consider adding a fifth section of kindergarten. After studying the situation, Dr. Gangel said it could be done, but not until after the move into the new addition to the elementary school, now scheduled for \v December 16, and not unless a large number of parents were willing to place their children in a pool from which the class would be selected. t When only three parents returned a survey indicating they were willing to have their children switched, Dr. Gangel said he met with kindergarten parents, and they agreed that so late in the school year it would be bet> ter to provide more help for the four teachers with the children they have. Either a teacher or a teachers’ aide will be assigned to the classes, he said, and he will See Schools, Page A-8 Constitutional Amendments No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 Precinct Amissville Chester Gap Flint Hill Scrabble Sperryville Washington Yes 300 103 299 282 258 311 No 204 51 155 207 190 189 Yes 211 93 180 249 199 223 No 304 61 210 215 255 276 Yes 216 180 190 222 1 190 226 No 265 210 171 232 231 241 Totals 1,553 996 1,155 1,351 1,113 1,216 \ ' \ Board Takes No Action on Tourist Brochure By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Three women came to the Board of Supervisors meeting Monday to ask for $1,000 to help publish a brochure promoting tourism in Rappahannock County as well as Fauquier, Clarke, Warren, and Loudoun counties but went away empty handed. Sandy Roszel said that the group had commitments from the other counties and several towns in those counties and a commitment from the state for $5,000 in matching funds. The brochure would describe a one-day tour through the five counties mentioning each jurisdiction. She said the brochure would describe the counties as linked in being “wine country, horse country and historic” as well as beautiful. She said that Sharon Pierce, a member of the Planning Commission, had been meeting with the group doing the planning. Sally Murray, from the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce, said her organization, which is operating a visitor’s center in Warrenton was already acting as Rappahannock’s Chamber of Commerce, because they have brochures in the visitor’s center for several Rappahannock attractions. She said the organization would continue to promote Rappahannock County “whether you fund us or not” but it is important to get the piece printed. She said the formula one race track coming to Culpeper will bring many more people into the area. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “I’m not in favor of us giving $1,000. I was all right until you mentioned the race track. I don’t want tax money from up here going to promote that race track.’’After the supervisors moved on to other matters, Norma Dunwpody from Culpeper said the counties need “to start taking advantage of each others’ assets.” She suggested the supervisors could take the money from another category of economic development. She asked what it would take to get the supervisors to make a commitment. “You need to get one board member to make a motion and two others to vote with him,” County Administrator John McCarthy said. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham asked when the county could expect to receive a return on its investment. Ms. Dunwoody said they expect to have the brochure ready in spring. “I don’t know how the board feels,” Col. Bingham said. “I think we do need to do something to generate more travel.” However, the only motion was one made by Mr. Massie to table consideration of the matter until January. “If we’re going to spend $1,000 to promote tourism there may be a better way,” he said. In the meantime Mr. McCarthy is to research other possible brochures. Col. E.P. “Pete” Luke said he was unhappy about a small brochure put out by the county on ridgetop development. He said voters want to get the government off their backs, and this was full of things people would resent. He said discouraging driveways with greater than 12 percent slopes is not realistic since some people don’t have right of ways wide enough to put in a driveway with a less steep slope. Mr. McCarthy said the brochure was made up of suggestions, questions for those who have recently purchased property in conservation zones to consider before building on their lots. These are not regulations, he said. The Planning Commission and his office have received complaints from long-term residents about houses that spoil the view and complaints from newcomers that their driveways have that washed away in heavy rains, he said. Some of the people who buy land on steep slopes don’t know what they are getting into, he said, and some are the same people who call to say they have left trash at the end of their driveway for days and no one has picked it up. Col. Luke said, ‘There is more visual noise along the roads and lesser slopes than on the conservation slopes.” He said such a brochure should be broader. He suggested a brochure about the county available to everybody that would point out such things as the lack of trash pickup or pharmacies. Phil Irwin praised the brochure on ridgetop development as did Joy Sloane. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said that the brochure “misses the most important point. The ridge tops were caused by shifting plates and upheavals of rocks. There are tremendous fractures. If you put septic tanks and drainfields up there, you are going to compromise those fractures. If you keep on doing this, you are going to have serious problems.” “If that is right, there ought to be a law against it,” Col. Bingham said. Mr. McCarthy said the Planning Commission has funds to do a study of the county’s water resources and will consider the threats to the underground water supply. Mr. Estes said that one good thing See Ridgetop, Page A-8

General District Court By CINDY MAHAN Bafpthaiwock New* Staff Writer In General District Court Tuesday, Kenny Baldwin, 21, of Sperryville, was found to be in contempt of a court order and sentenced to six months in jail, with 90 days to serve. Immediately following court, Mr. Baldwin filed an appeal of the court’s decision. His case will be heard by the Circuit Court in a hearing scheduled for Jan. 9. He will not have to do any jail time before that hearing. Last March the parents of a girl Mr. Baldwin had been dating went to court and received an order to keep him away from their daughter and off their property. Mr. Baldwin violated that court order on Sept. 1. He was caught in the girl’s home at about 1:30 a.m. by one of her parents. A condition of the March court order also was that a six month jail sentence would be suspended if he complied with the court order for one year. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, “This was a direct violation of a court order. We had an agreement. He violated it. He should now serve the six months.” Judge roley told Mr. Baldwin, “The part of the order that was real plain was that you not go on their property. I am really concerned about what you did on the night in question. The bottom line is, how much time are you going to spend in jail? Passion is a dangerous thing. It can be a fatal attraction. You left your common sense in the car on that night in question. You took a chance. You crapp&l out this time.” Polly Woods, 19, of Sperryville, pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals. After receiving complaints from neighbors, Animal Warden Ray , Pullen and the Sheriffs Office investigated the house that Ms. Woods lived in on Piedmont Avenue in Washington. They found three dogs, six cats, one rabbit, and two guinea pigs. One of the cats was dead, there was no food or water for the animals, and animal feces were all over. Even though the house looked abandoned, Mr. Luke reported Ms. Woods said that she came and took care of the animals. All of the animals were taken to the animal shelter and most, if not all, have found new homes. Judge Foley sentenced Ms. Wood to six months in jail but suspended the sentence. She must not own or possess a companion animal for 12 months, must work 40 hours community service at the animal shelter, and pay $156 court costs.

C. Wayne Ashworth, President of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, called the meeting one of Farm Bureau’s most important yearly functions. “Farmers are very concerned about the future of such things as the 1995 Farm Bill, the environ-, ment, world trade, government regulations and private property rights,” Mr. Ashworth said. The statewide meeting included discussion of land use taxation, nonpoint source pollution regulations, right-to-farm legislation and how to gain more funding for major agricultural programs at Virginia Tech, the Virginia Department of Agirculture and consumer Services, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and others. V, v Policies developed during the resolutions meeting will be considered for official VFBF policy during the organization’s annual convention Nov. 28-Dec. 1 in Richmond. Many of the resolutions approved there will be lobbied for during the 1995 Virginia General Assembly and in Congress. Eileen M. Day REALTOR STRUCTURAL INSPECTION A correctly written structural inspection converts an iron-clad form agreement into an option that gives purchasers time to examine the property and decide whether or not to buy it. A correctly written structural inspection also ties up the property so that it cannot be sold to anyone else until the purchaser has made a decision. Will a seller accept a structural inspection? Some sellers will! refuse any offer that modifies a standardized form agreement, a position that typically softens if a property remains unsold for a lengthy period. Other sellers and their brokers, will encourage structural inspections to prevent future litigation. Their reasoning is: that by hiring an independent inspector, a buyer cannot later claim to have relied only on the seller or the broker for structural advice. Structural inspections are keenly important to most buyers because they are not qualified to judge a home's physical aspects If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

The quilt looks like it was made by a long-time quilter; it is an amazing feat for one so young. The design is a nine-patch, and the quilt project helped Sam learn his multiplication tables as part of his home-schooling. His mom, Diane, and Barbara Sherwood of Sperryville helped Sam get his quilt underway. Sam first drew the quilt design on graph paper, and Mrs. Sherwood calculated how much he would need of each fabric. The fabrics he chose are yellow, purple, blue solids and a “universe” fabric with gold planets and stars on a purple background. He may have been influenced by the video series “Cosmos” which he had been watching during the time of making his quilt. Sam next had to mark out the square shapes on the fabric, using templates he made, before cutting out the shapes. His mother said he began sewing the nine patches by hand, but soon decided that he would rather learn to use the sewing machine and finish the others by machine. His mother said he enjoyed putting the different color squares together, planning the rhythm of color and pattern of the quilt. Sometimes, though, she said that the project was frustrating for him, and she helped him sew some of the long seams. She also nagged him to finish the project when he got discouraged. Sam and his mom pieced the back of the quilt together, and used an old blanket for stuffing. Sam them finished off the quilt by tying knots, using blue cotton floss, at each comer of eveiy large square, to keep the blanket inside in place. Though Sam is obviously glad that the quiltmaking is over, he is also obviously proud of the fine quilt which he produced. It is heartening to see a traditional craft carried on. The quilt will be on display at the library through Nov. 20, which is the last day of National Children’s Book Week. Beef Seminar Offers Farmers Many Ideas By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N*wi Staff Writer , Newbill Miller told cattle growers gathered at the Rappahannock Fanners Association beef seminar last month “sound judgment is the best tool” for surviving in the cattle business and EPDs are the second best tool. Mr. Miller, who produces purebred Angus for the commercial as well as purebred market, said, “We must produce a product that is compatible with the commercial market.... The Angus industry is always chasing something.” At one time is was small cattle, then it was large, he,,, said. Now the market wants cattle that will “fit the box” when slaughtered, he said. He said conformation is important for calving ease. He said rarely is head size important in calving but hip and shoulder width and angle are. If calving is difficult, the cows won’t breed back as soon, he said. Udder attachment and teat size are important also he said, “so it doesn’t drag on the ground and get contaminated.” Cow fertility, calving ease, milk production, birthweight, weaning weight, and time to market weight as well as various carcass measurements are used in determining RPDs, he said. He said grass in Virginia is not very nourishing after the Fourth of July so calves must grow on milk. He said his cattle get little or no grain, but once an animal goes into the feeder market it’s got to be able “to convert high-energy crops efficiently.” Stephen White, a large animal veterinarian who has recently started practicing in the county, talked about various organisms that can cause diarrhea in newborn calves. Several can be prevented by vaccinating the cow one month before she calves, he said. The calves need the immunity they get from drinking colustrum, and if they do not nurse right away after birth they should be bottle fed or force fed colustrum, he said. Jack Dunford talked about various feeding formulas and the amount of weight gain a feeder can expect for the cost. He said, “poultry litter is the main commodity cattle producers are using.” Randall Updike said that feeders lost money in the last year and now breeders are feeling the effects of that. The market has dropped dramatically, but is up slightly in the past week, he said. Feeders will discount cattle for many reasons, he said. Black cattle are preferred. Too large and too small cattle are discounted as are heifers.

Portions of the Skyline Drive, the famed mountain road through Shenandoah National Park, will be closed at night during hunting season, Park Superintendent J.W. Wade announced this weekHe noted that is the sixteenth year this closure has been undertaken and it reduces illegal hunting « activity within the Park, a sanctuary for wildlife, during the Commonwealth’s hunting season outside the Park. From Nov. 13 through Jan. 17, 1995, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0 at U.S. Highway 340) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31 at U.S. Highway 211), and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65 at U.S. Highway 33) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105 at U.S. Highway 250), will be closed daily between dusk and 8 a.m. The central portion of the Drive, between Thornton gap and Swift Run Gap, will remain open for overnight access to Skyland Lodge. Supt. Wade said, “By closing portions of the Skyline Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase hunter contacts along the Park boundary.” Supt. Wade also reminded the public that the Park has a reward program to assist in combating illegal hunting in the Park. “A reward will be paid to anyone who furnishes information which leads to the conviction of any person who hunts, transports, or attempts to transport illegally taken wildlife within the Park,” he said. Anyone with information about such activities should call the nearest Ranger Station or Park Headquarters (toll free in area codes 703 and 804, 1-800-732-0911 or v (703) 999-2227.

The state’s senior U.S. Senator, John Warner, was handed the blame for Oliver North’s defeat in a close race against incumbent Charles Robb. From party chairman Patrick McSweeney to Mike Farris, they drubbed Warner for his refusal to support North and his outspoken opposition to the party’s candidate. Marshall Coleman, who mounted an independent campaign with Sen. Warner’s support as a protest against North also drew their wrath. Mr. McSweeney suggested that the party needs greater “discipline” — as if the censures and public snubs Warner has already received aren’t enough. If Mr. McSweeney and his pals are looking for the source of North’s defeat, they should look closer to home — like in the mirror. Mr. Farris was half right when he observed that “Everyplace else in the country we’re not seeing this kind of results.” That should have given him a hint. Mr. Farris went on to blame Mr. Coleman’s presence as a spoiler. That’s where he was wrong. Virginia voters looked at two flawed candidates, Col. North and Sen. Robb, and liked Sen* Robb better. » Oliver North’s supporters were true believers, no doubt. Unfortunately, their ardor blinded them to his liabilities as a political candidate. Unquestioning loyalty is essential on a battlefield, but is often misplaced in politics — as the former Marine lieutenant colonel knows all to well. The fervor that led Virginia’s Republican rank-and-file to reject the advice of their party’s elders and nominate Col. \ North has now come back to haunt them. Refusing to recognize their own complicity in his defeat, they are seeking scapegoats. v But Mr. McSweeney and his cronies, in vowing vengeance against Sen. Warner, are only borrowing trouble. Instead of ostricizing him, maybe they should listen to the senator. Sen. Warner was right when he predicted months ago that Oliver North was the only GOP candidate who could lose to Robb. The state Republican party should follow Sen. Warner’s advice and take a lesson from this campaign, instead of seeking retribution. Another scorched earth Republican primary battle in 1996 could leave Virginia with two Democratic senators and a state GOP so divided that no reconciliation is possible. A divided convention that denies the nomination to the party’s one incumbent U.S. Senator would have the same result. That, we suspect, is not exactly the type of leadership Virginia’s Republicans are seeking. Goodbye to Dr. Chappell We are sorry fco see Dr. Robert Chappell departing from our school system. He has been a steadying force for 12 and a half years. Many have forgotten the circumstances that brought Dr. Chappell to Rappahannock. He was hired by a controversial School Board to replace a principal demoted against the wishes of the apparent majority of students, parents and teachers. This was a very awkward position for a new principal to find himself in, and Dr. Chappell handled it very well. The school recovered quickly from these destabilizing events and improved under his leadership. He has been a very able assistant to Superintendent David Gangel, taking on major responsibilities for the entire school system. Most people who have come in contact with him have found him approachable and congenial. We wish him well in his future position as Superintendent of the Essex County Public Schools.

Letters to the Editor s Rock Mills Was Pawleys To the Editor: My hat’s off to Mr. Floyd Grigsby for his research on the. in-L habitants of Rock Mills. During my life time, Rock Mills has been synonymous with Edward and Helen Pawley. In the 50’s and 60’s they ran the Cash and Totem store at the heart of Rock Mills— down by the river where the Thornton and Rush meet, where the foundation of the old stone mill stands crumbling under Edward’s ancient Sycamore that refuses to die. Ed and Helen gave a vitality to Rock Mills that is unprecedented. With them at the intersection of roadways 622 and 626 and the confluence of the two rivers, everyone in the vicinity passed through their living room. Even canoeists found a warm fireplace after a wet journey down the flooded Thornton. Autumn leaves were not raked up there because they formed a “Persian Carpet” in his driveway. Every sunrise and sunset on Rock Mills was proof of the magnificence of our Almighty Creator. No human being was less than a true genius in the eyes of Edward and Helen. No one came near the old house by the river without feeling loved and hear- \ I ing Edward spin a yam or retell the history of this great nation. I cannot imagine anyone replacing them as the true spirit of Rock Mills. Edward left his Roarin’ Rock rapids and surrounding land to the Mount Lebanon Baptist Church as a memorial to Helen. It will forever reign as one of the most beautiful spots in Rappahannock County. My advice to the namers of roads is when it comes to naming roads in Rock Mills or roads that lead to Rock Mills, don’t leave out the Pawleys or you risk a rebellion of the sort that started the American Revolution. One last thing, Mr. Columbo, you forgot to mention all the Grigsby of Rock Mills ROSS ROTTIER !■ Rock Mills Supporters Thanked To the Editor: The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company would like to give special thanks to everyone who generously gave their time and many efforts in making apple butter and the BBQ chicken dinner such a great success on Oct. 15 and 22. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Woodard of Washington who generously donated a large portion SO LONG, BOB.. of the apples and to Lee’s Orchards of Washington for apples and cider. Also a special thank you to David Huff at the Country Cajce for always giving us a generous donation toward our dinners and to Mr. Wayne Blosser who cooked the BBQ chicken and did such a wonderful job. They were delicious and a sell out on both weekends. Thanks to all of the Flint Hill Ladies who made those delicious desserts and fixed baked beans. ' Many thanks to those of you who donated quart jars and a very special thank you to Mr. John Allen Atkins of Sperryville and to Mr. Bill Nick Pullen of Washington who let us use their apple butter kettles both weekends. This was our first time for making apple butter, and through your generous donations, our costs were low. It was a lot of hard work and sleepless hours, but it was worth the profits and the efforts that were made. We hope that we can make this an annual event. CONNIE HUFF HARRIS Secretary FHVFD Living With Lupus To the Editor: Since this is Lupus Awareness Month, and I am a lupus patient, I would like to share with your readers what it is like to be a lupus patient: I am always in some degree of pain, but I do not look sick. At times I have very rosy cheeks from the lupus. Most people associate rosy cheeks with good health, but I am not healthy. When I have to take steriod drugs to reverse potentially lifethreatening symptoms, I gain weight. Most people associate weight gain with feeling good, but I do not feel good. I almost always have overwhelming fatigue, so I cannot be as active as I would like. Most people associate inactivity with laziness, but I am not lazy. Lupus attacks many organ systems. Although the symptoms vary from patient to patient, they can include joint pain, muscle aches, skin rash, photosensitivity, hair loss, in flammation of the membranes around the heart or lungs, anemia and other blood abnormalities, kidney involvement and others. Even physicians tend to associate symptoms in many organ systems with hypochondria, but I am not a hypochondriac. I am thankful that lupus is not contagiuos, because the other features of this disease are hard enough to deal with. In lupus the immune system, which is supposed to protect the body against environmental and infectious agents, turns against itself and attacks and destroys healthy tissue. Without treatment even a mild case of lupus may become life-threatening. Although some of your readers may not heard of lupus, it is a very common disease. It is more prevalent than muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, multiple selerosis, leukemia, or cystic fibrosis. It is more widespread among black women than sickle cell anemia. Lupus affects all races, age groups, and both sexes. However, ninety percent of lupus patients are women, with the usual age of onset being be-: tween 16 and 36. I In 1984 I founded a nonprofit organization called the L.E. Support Club. We publish a fantastic newsletter with up-to-date, informative articles on subjects that are important to lupus patients. Anyone who would like more information should send a large, self-address envelope with two stamps on it to: L.E. Support Club, 8039 Nova Court, North Charleston, S.C. 29420. HARRIET B.MESIC North Charleston, S.C. Thank Veterans To the Editor: The after school 4-H Club at the Child Care and Learning Center along with all of the preschoolers want to thank all of the men and women of Rappahannock who served our country in the service. Many of us have grandparents and other relatives who fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Some of us have family who were in Desert Storm. It must have been hard to leave your friends and family and go fight in another country so they can have the same rights that we do! «, We want to thank you on Veteran’s Day and everyday for all of your bravery. I don’t believe I could ever be courageous enough to do what our veterans have done. I’m glad I never had to say goodbye to may dad ,^nd watch him get on a plane to go to war like my parents had to do when they were children. Please say a prayer for the soldiers that didn’t make it home. LAUREN SHARP Washington Allen Showed Leadership To the Editor: Governor George Allen is being attacked by the environmental radicals that ran Disney’s America out of Prince William County. They accuse him of misrepresenting the cost of the highway improvement package passed by the state legislature. In fact, the road improvements pro1posed varied a great deal. The final figure of $131.5 million was the one that was acceptable to the legislature and that was the one they passed with the provision that Disney generated sales tax would be allocated to pay off the bonds used for roads on the Disney site. Despite the facts, the environmentalists try to convince us that the real cost would be a lot more and the Governor was delibertly deceiving us. This is a bald-face lie and they know it. But, they are doing this to position themselves to create more controls over private property in Virginia. Governor Allen showed great leadership on the Disney project (and many others in his short time In office) in an effort to provide employment and economic growth. We all should support him in his efforts. MASON GARDNER Gainesville

% About Those Exuberant Fines JAMES J. KILPATRICK Unheml Press Syndicate Not long ago the Medical University of South Carolina sent a warning notice to employees: State and federal regulations on hazardous waste must be strinctly observed. Violators risk enforcement actions, “notably in the form of exuberant fines.” As an editor, I’ve met dull sentences, but I never met an exuberant fine. Manifestly the writer meant “exorbitant,” but it came out wrong. These things happen. Why do they happen? The more I have thought about such semantic pratfalls, the more I am persuaded that they arise from three sources. Carelessness is one source, of course, and just plain ignorance is another. But there’s something else. Writers, if they truly love the language, cannot resist the temptation of a ten-dollar word. The trouble is that in their unseemly lust, they often reach out and miss. In January the Rocky Mountain News carried an obituary on Professor William O. Eddy. A headline writer identified him as “Instigator of liberal arts at Colorado State.’Uhe 84-year-old educator cer- ( tainly was a moving force at CSU, but “instigator” carries a sinsiter connotation. We instigate a conspiracy, or instigate a riot, but I don’t believe we can instigate liberal arts. In Brampton, Ontario, last Christmas, the symphony orchestra put on a program that included songs from “The Merry Widow.” One of the solists had appeared with the orchestra before. Said the program notes: “We welcome her back with exhalation and excitement.” A little heavy breathing there. Alabama is concerned these days about how to finance improvements in the public schools. Reported The Dothan Eagle: “Public debate has been spurious about raising property taxes.” Something that is spurious is false, fake, forged, illegitimate. My guess is that the staff writer reached for “spirited” and “furious,” and dropped both of them on the way. Many writers, grasping for a high-toned word, confuse “corroborate” and “collaborate.” Thus a writer for Scripps-Howard reported last November that no New Jersey ministers had collaborated Ed Rollins’ confession of campaign shenanigans. In Seattle a reporter said that Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss has provided the names of political figures who were her customers, but the report “could not collaborate the information.” , The verbs are not even second cousins once removed. To collaborate is to work jointly on something; to corroborate is to confirm. A finance writer for the San Antonio Business Journal looked in October at Stone Container Corp. and Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Britton and Sam Wood, Van and Lain Carney and Grace Sims try handbells. \ Handbell Tryouts Held It was something like having “The Music Man” come to town. Last Wednesday Mickey Johnson visited Trinity Episcopal Church, bringing with him a set of handbells. Mr. Johnson is a music teacher and choir director and salesman for Schulmerich Carillons, Inc., manufacturer of handbells. Maurice Herndon, a member of the church and its choir, had arranged the event, hoping that a handbell choir could be the result. As Mr. Johnson said, handbells make it possible for people who don’t sing very well or play a musical instrument to provide music for worship services. Volunteers from the audience tried their hands with the bells. Mr. Johnson had tied varied colored ribbons on the bells. Under Mr. Johnson’s direction the volunteers managed “Amazing Grace” and “This Is My Country.” A two-octave set of bells costs about $4,000, and a three-octave set costs about $6,000. REMEMBER WHEN..

But management, he said, “seems to exhume confidence.” This wasn’t what the writer meant. To “exhume” is to bring from obscurity. Mangement was exuding, not exhuming. You’ve got to admire, after a fashion, the third-year student at the University of Arizona who wrote to the Daily Wildcat in January. He began on a temperate note: “A plethora of nitwittery is emanating from the foaming mouths of Democrats and other commie liberals.” He was especially irked by “their endless avocation of gun control.” The gentleman was reaching for “advocacy,” but his bluderbuss misfired. Often it’s difficult to figure out what a writer was reaching for. The San Francisco Examiner in January described a transportation problem after the earthquake. Residents of Santa Clarita could get to work only by using the winding, two-lane Sierra Highway. “What resulted was a traffic backup of biblical proportions.” What’s a biblical proportion? Two fish and a bowl of manna? A refresher course on “credulity” and “credible” may be in order. Last year a theater critic for The Seattle Times asked is the casting of a black actor as Willy Loman “strains audience credibility beyond belief.” A book reviewer for Newsday found fault with Anthony Holden’s book about the Academy Awards. “Most incredulously, Holden claims that JoePesci...” Let’s get them straight. “Credible” means “believable.” Thus, a “credible deterrent,” a “credible alibi.” Something that is incredible is unbelievable, extraordinary or even fantastic. “Credulity” is something else extirely. It imples no more than a readiness or willingness to believe something that on the face appears unlikely. The black actor who played Willy Loman might strain credulity at first, but if he gave a credible performance he’d win his audience. The only guidance I can offer for avoiding a ten-dollar pratfall is old advice: If you’re going to use a razzle-dazzle word, look it up before you write it down. Copyright 1994 Universal Press Syndicate \ Becoming a Habitual Offender Life Rescued After Alcohol Takes Over l By STACEY KNOX Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer /' After a somewhat agreeable, mutually consenting enough, well though out, high tech planned (for the kids’ sake) separation of a ten year fairy tale marriage, I Lost It! Upon entering Warren County, ten years ago, as the wife of a man with a large family, I eventually adopted them and finally felt at home. It was a big shock to find out that no matter how I felt, I became a complete stranger when news of our pending divorce came out. I had full undisputed custody of both boys, which is all I wanted, but as piece by piece of the perfect life I’d created for the four of us left, so did piece by piece of my self-confidence, self assurance, self worth and almost all of my drive and determination to make it. The only thing I painstankingly harbored was the total blocking of any emotionally disturbing feelings, at any and all costs. Thus began my drinking habit. i Oh boy did I drink. I don’t mean just a little either. I remember the first Christmas the three of us spent alone, along with a gallon of Southern Comfort. That was just one of many incidents that resulted in a DUI. Of course I had to step down, and out of the Writers’ Group I’d been so proud to have started in Winchester. I was no use as a hotline volunteer and as far as being a foster parent, well, I was in grave danger of losing my own two children. Bur frankly, I didn’t give a hoot. I was too busy all week planning for my upcoming weekend of 48 hours of uninterupted drunkness. It sure beat drinking during the week, when I had to make sure I stayed put so I could get my kids’s to the school bus in the morning. I There were occasions, I can still see my oldest child’s face, when he pleaded with me that it was not such a good idea to go to some outdoor field keg party because he had a very important science test to study for. “Oh you’ll do fine,” I told him s s “Maybe you could take tomorrow off.” ) Needless to say, his grades started to waver, but still did I care? Oh, I cared enough to hide the beer can when the kids’ came into the room. After the second DUI, I had to go to jail for a week. I was comtemplating telling the kids that I had to go into the hosptial for that amount of time, but I remebered the trouble lying had got me in before, so I decided I would be as candid as possible. Not even the look of total resignation in their small young faces could stop me from grabbing beer the first chance I got as soon as I was released. We became accustomed to walking everywhere we needed to go because of my suspended license and I became quite fit riding my ten-speed around Front Royal. But not even the humiliation of believing everyone knew why I was riding a bike in the ice and snow could stop me from my own private self destructive agenda. After my ex-husband threatened to take the kids, I became quite ingenious at making time for may main concern, you know what, but alas, not quite clever enough. This time I was busted 50 feet from my back door where the kids were fast asleep, in the middle of the night. Next step: Appear in Court to accept my condemnation as an Habitual Offender. This label bothered me greatly, my drinking subsided a smidgen, just on weekends, for no one was going to tell me I had a weakness, a flaw. Heck I was adamant that I had everything under control, thank you very much! So what if I got a little loud and crazy on the weekends, the kids’ were at their father’s, and look at all I’d been through for Pete’s sake! u I have to admit, I was so far gone, that I even made excuses for getting shot. “The guy was drunk,” I told everyone. Well the truth of the matter is that I was drunk, flat out skunked, and I wasn’t about to leave the party when there were still 12 more beers left in the fridge. The shot rang out a warning that this guy wanted his house back and accidently went through my right arm. ' Okay, so by now I figured I’d better not drink quite so much. Once a month was probably enough. I did pretty good working two jobs, supporting myself and my kids for a while, then, to celebrate I decided to frequent a bar where I knew everyone and divulge in just one small glass of wine. Wrong Move! Pulling into a handicapped parking space in front of two sober, very sober Winchester City Police Officers was probably the luckiest thing I’d every done, drunk. Another DUI on a sus- # pended license after having been declared an Habitual Offender rewarded me with a mandatory year in jail and the loss of my license for ten years. I’d reached my limit, all in three years. To this day, I can’t imagine getting my license back, i let alone trying to explain any- j thing to an insurance agent. 1 But funny as this may seem^ I’m glad. Glad that I got a chance to do some serious introspective thinking during that long cold Christmas weekend in jail when there was a blanket shortage in the holding cells, and the correctional officer in charge picked that weekend to reinforce the rule about not allowing paperback books. Judge Whiteacre helped too, when he refused my request for a furlough for that weekend, by telling me to remember the Real meaning of Christmas. Actually, it’s only been a few months ago that I found out for myself that the real meaning of Christmas lasts all year. And now that I’ve got all that off my chest, maybe I can be what I’ve always wanted to be, a good writer. In closing, I would like to propose to offer my experiences to the high school students of any high school that will accept my shameful testimony. I am willing to answer any questions openly and honestly. I owe at least that much. I’m sorry. It RANGE LEE SPELLMAN October 29, 1946 • November 9, 1982 Ten years ago we created the Ranee Lee Spellman Memorial.Award to honor our slain farm foreman. We felt an obligation to honor a richly-talented man who had worked tirelessly and joyfully at farming and protecting the land and its wildlife. We felt a deep need to remember every year a man who had spent two years risking his young life for us in Vietnam but who was cruelly silenced at age 36 right here in his own country. . ■ .v So, each year a small committee gathers at Lord Fairfax Community College to interview young applicants for the Spellman Award and to choose one or two to continue Ranee's work. The $10,000 gift was Lord Fairfax Community College's first endowment. For eight years it was the College's sole agricultural scholarship. It set in motion a succession of development achievements by the College's Education Foundation. We take pride in having helped a dozen budding farmers and horticulturists to achieve their dreams -- and providing this major milestone in Lord Fairfax Community College's 25-year history, being celebrated this year.

Planning District Commission Ranked Low in Service Survey By SANDY HUME and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer* The Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission (PD9), which covers five counties including Rappahannock, has received some of the lowest marks of any commission in Virginia in a recently released state survey. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, which performs a role similar to the federal Congressional Budget Office, evaluated all 21 PDCs and called into question both the efficiency and usefulness of PD9. According to the draft survey, PD9 ranks third worst in local funding support, and last in federal funding. It has the highest dependence on state funds and the smallest staff of any PDC. Out of 14 possible performance concerns, the survey raised nine for PD9, two more than for any other PDC. Some of those concerns include: Lack of strategic planning; » Inadequate services; Low ratings from local officials; Stone Named To Honor Society Christopher Dean Stone was among 44 students at David Lipscomb University in Nashville inducted into the Tennessee Kappa Chapter of the Alpha Chi National Honor Society. He is a computer information systems major, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dean Stone of Amissville and a RCHS graduate. The inductees represent the top 10 percent of their respective classes. TOUR MONEY OR TOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility: saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. Failure to address critical regional issues; Poor board attendance, and Lack of focus at meetings. PD9 director Richard Stroemple criticized the survey as inaccurate in some of its claims, and said that drawing parallels between his PDC and larger, urban ones in the state amounted to “comparing apples and oranges.” “A review of services, resource levels, and local government survey responses raises a concern that at least two PDCs, the RappahannockRapidan PDC and the Central Virginia PDC, may not be adequately meeting the needs of their localities and those of the region. In the case of Rappahannock-Rapidan, a lack of staff resources appears to be a key factor,” the survey reads. FD9, with only three paid employees, has the smallest staff of any PDC. The staff does not correlate to the population it serves; if it did correlate to population, as a rural PDC, it would have nine to 10 full time employees, according to the survey. “The small staff size appears to have an effect on the services it can provide. The level of services provided by the PDC was called into question by a number of its member localities...To be a viable organization (PD9) needs to develop staffing capabilities that will allow it to provide a level of services which is consistent with both the needs of its member localities and those of the region,” the survey said. PDCs were created 26 years ago to address issues that crossed county lines and affected entire regions, like transportation or water and air pollution. As levels of federal funding have decreased, PDCs have increasingly been called upon to provide services of strictly a local nature. Fauquier County is now using PD9 to prepare grant applications for sewers to serve three small areas of the county. That county considered leaving PD9 to join PD8, which serves the Northern Virginia suburban counties, but abandoned the effort after meeting stiff resistance from Prince William County. Fauquier has still contracted with PD8 staff help with the Vint Hill reuse task force. At the time Fauquier was trying to join PD8, County Administrator John McCarthy suggested Rappa- , hannock County might want to do ? the same. Mr. McCarthy has consistently indicated he does not feel PD9 can help Rappahannock. Several studies done for the county Planning Commission have been contracted out to private firms. The Planning Commission for the Town of Washington had assistance from PD9 in rewriting its subdivision ordinance. The county’s contribution to PD9 do not cover such studies which involve additional fees. Mr. Stroemple bristled at the survey’s criticisms. “We have qualified people and we can handle almost anything,” he said. “When I’m asked to do something, the service is provided. No one has ever been unhappy with us.” / He called the “lack of substantive focus” charge “ridiculous,” and dismissed the criticism of local officials as “politics.” PD9 regional planner Gordon Jones attributed the organization’s funding woes to low unemployment in the area. “You’re just not going to have the same degree of programs that other rural areas are going to have,” he said. “I have not been happy with services we’ve received from PD9,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Some of it is not their fault. They’re understaffed, but you get into a situation where localities are not interested in paying for more staff unless they’re confident that staff will be capable of providing the services they want. It’s my impression none of the member jurisdictions has that confidence.” Louise van Dort, who was chairman of the Washington Planning Commission at the time they contracted with PD9 for help drafting the town’s subdivision ordinance, is satisfied with the help her commission received from PD9. “We knew what we wanted the ordinance to say, but we wanted to be assured correct ordinance language would be used and all bases would be covered.” She said the draft the town planners received was not “tailored to our specific needs as set forth in the outline we gave them.” It covered situations that weren’t applicable to Washington, she said. “It was clear it was a boiler plate ordinance, but we simply threw out portions that were not applicable, and I felt it was helpful.” I MITSUBISHI MITSUBISHI Final Fall Blowout!

USDA Changes May Affect County Farmers Federal farm agencies are in a state of flux, now that President Clinton has signed & bill which will streamline the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Despite confusion, reforms in the nation’s wetlands regulations are working, asserted Denise Doetzer, state conservationist with the USDA’s Soil Conservation Service.

The SCS was named the lead agency for determining wetlands on land being farmed, Ms. Doetzer said. All four agencies are using the USDA’s Farm Bill manual and the 1987 Corps of Engineers manual, she said. Those regulations are more conservative in designating wetlands that the now-defunct 1991 wetlands standards, which ignited a firestorm of protest among farmers and landowners. Her staff should be able to certify earlier wetlands designation in Virginia by sometime next year, she said, despite a 13 percent budget cut for fiscal year 1994-95. Meanwhile, the burning questions for many Virginia farmers is whether or not their respective county USD A office will be closed under the reorganization bill signed Oct. 20. “We know that they intend to close approximately 1,100 field offices and that we have some new agency names with different responsibilities and functions,” Ms. Doetzer said. “But since it was just put out, the reality is it will take a few months” to determine how quickly offices will be closed and agencies consolidated, she explained.

According to experts, this " lack of family mealtimes can contribute to a decline in family relationships. But it’s not too late, says home economist Kathy Belcher of the Diary and Food Nutrition Council of < the Southeast. "Giving kids a smart start in the kitchen—teaching them basic cooking skills early—can foster their enthusiasm for cooking and eating with their families.” Belcher recommends that parents spend time with their children in the kitchen. Weekends may be the best option, with today’s two-career families and single-parent households, she notes. “As a start, parents should teach . their children how to start clean and end clean - always wash their hands before preparing food, and clean up the kitchen when they’re done,” Belcher recommends. Parents should also teach chil-" dren how to read a simple recipe,' measure properly, and how to use the stove and microwave safely, states Belcher. An example of a simple item kids; can put together is English muffinpizza. Toast an English muffin, add tomato sauce and cheese, and heat. - Belcher advises using meal planning and preparation with children as an opportunity to reinforce basic nutritions guidelines. Snacks and meals need to be planned around the five food groups, not just grabbing whatever is available. “Remember that children need at least three servings of milk, cheese, or yogurt everyday, and lean meat, fish, chicken or meat substitutes like peanut butter or blackeyed peas twice a day.” she states. “Children ' also need two fruits, three vegetables, and six servings of grain foods, like bread, rice, pasta or cereal. ‘ Meals should contain at least three of these five food groups.” Children often score low on their' choices of snack foods, notes' Belcher, but they don’t have to. “Nutritious snacks kids can make themselves are milk or yogurt shakes, pudding, raw vegetable dips made with cottage cheese and yogurt or buttermilk, and peanut butter sandwiches with a glass of milk.” By giving children a smart start in the kitchen, says Belcher, they will be excited about cooking and eating with their families. “And that helps re-establish the family meal as a priority, important from not only a nutritional standpoint, but from social and emotional standpoints as well,” she comments.

Jenkins Advances To State . HBy CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Mark Jenkins will be competing in the state finals for cross country. The meet will be held at Great Meadow in The Plains this Saturday. He placed 11th in the regional meet which was held on Nov. 2 in Charlottesville. “It was the best race so far of his career,” said Coach David vandeGraaff. Caroline Baumgardner finished 17th, just missing qualifying for the state finals (the top 15 finishers qualify for the state). Boys’ basketball and girls’ volleyball tryouts will take place on Monday and Tuesday. The first home basketball game will be played against Central Friday, Dec. 9, and the first home volleyball game will be Monday, Dec. 5 against Brentsville. Paratore To Start Wrestling Program i Paul Paratore is interested in starting a youth wrestling program. He hopes to sign up boys in sixth, seventh and eighth grades. “In an effort to help our youth become involved in a positive activity, I am offering a great alternative,” he said. “I would like to start a youth collegiate wrestling program. Collegiate wrestling is a self-motivating and highly disciplined sport. I need energetic students and committed parents,” he said. Anyone interested can call him at 937-5182 or pick up an information sheet from the office at either the high school or elementary school. Mr. Paratore has coached volleyball for the past several years. After years of losing seasons with other coaches, the girls began winning under him. He has coached wrestling in Fairfax and hopes to achieve success with this program also. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Mark Jenkins will compete in state meet Saturday. ■ i . 11 i . .1 County Players Spark Comets' Success » I The Culpeper Comets, a traveling soccer team for those under age 13, has gone undefeated this year, and three Rappahannock players have had a crucial role in that success. The team has a seven win and one tie record and will participate in a tournament this weekend at Haymarket. The team is in first place in the Old Dominion Soccer League. In a game this past Sunday at Woodstock, Adam Rogers headed in the only goal in the team’s 1 to 0 victory. He had an assist from a header by Culpeper’s Brad Armstrong. In that game Sky Watson played right forward, and Ryland Pace was the stopper. In a game the last weekend in October against the Vista Warriors of Woodbridge won by the Comets 7 to 0, Ryland Pace tipped in the first goal and scored the second goal on a cross kick from Sky Watson. Sky Watson had another assist on the fifth goal and scored the final goal. Adam Rogers made the sixth goal in the game. John Otallah, whose son plays on' the team and who writes reports on the games, said the Rappahannock players usually have front line roles which puts them in position to make many of the goals. “This is our most successful season, to date,” he said, giving a lot of credit to coach Tim Kearney. Soccer Season Ends for Most With one final match between Rappahannock’s two under 14 teams set for this Saturday morning at the high school, the fall season of the Rappahannock Soccer League drew to a close last Saturday with the soccer banquet. Members of the county teams, ranging from those under six to those under 14, received certificates and medallions. The covered dish dinner at the elementary school brought together players, parents, coaches and referees for an evening of fun and recognition of progress this past season. Mark Pace’s under 10 team received special recognition for going undefeated through two years. Mr. Pace said that his team owed its success to the serious way in which his players approach the game. “You wouldn’t know it to look at them now,” he said, “but they’re really oriented towards soccer.” He said the more skilled players help the others, and they have learned to work well as a team. “They take the sport more seriously than their competitors.” Soccer League Commissioner Richard Price recognized Vinnie Carney with a silver bowl “Founders’ Award." Mrs. Carney is recovering from surgery, and her husband Jeb accepted on her behalf. Mr. Price said the Rappahannock Soccer League is now affiliated with the Old Dominion Soccer League, and that Orange County has joined also. He said soccer will continue with indoor games in the winter and in early spring there will be registration for spring soccer. He made a pitch for more parents to get involved as coaches and referees. He said the league will also need a commissioner, registrar, treasurer and league representative. Telemarketing Fraud On Rise Telemarketing fraud is big busi- / ness in the United States, with billions of dollars lost by consumers. Everyone is at risk, but the elderly are often singled out as targets for fraudulent telemarketing. Although they represent only 12 percent of the population, people 65 and over are victims in over 30 percent of the scams. There are several reasons why older people are often victims. They are frequently at home to answer the phone. They are often willing listeners, or too polite to hang up in the middle of a conversation. People over age 65 are considered “treasure to loot” in the eyes of con artists because they own between 50 and 75 percent of all financial assets in the United States. There are several sure signals which indicate a caller is not legitimate. The product may change, but these often used ploys are definite tip-offs that consumers need to exercise caution, or better yet, just hang up: i • This offer is only good today. In order to get in on this deal/great price/special item, you have to decide right now. The con artist does not want the victim to have time to consider carefully or check out the offer. • We need your credit card number (or bank account number) for verification purposes. Fraudulent telemarketers can use financial information to charge significant amounts to credit cards or to debit checking accounts. • You are the winner of a fabulous free trip to an island paradise. All you have to pay for is boarding fees and ground transportation. If you have won a prize, by law you do not need to pay anything to receive the prize. Always beware when someone asks you for' money up front. • Send you payment by courier overnight; there is not time to wait for the regular mail. The use of a courier is a sign that the telemarketers does not want ot have to deal with the postal authorities when the scam is finally revealed. • This investment is a sure thing. You are guaranteed to make money and there is no risk involved. No investment is risk-free. In a legitimate offer, the, buyer should research the investment, get competent advice and be able to assess the risks before making a decision. • I understand you have lost money in a scam. For just $100, I' can recover that money for you. This scam upon a scam is called “reloading,” and it only victimizes the victim again. It is very difficult to recover money taken through telemarketing fraud. It is far easier just to avoid the problem in the first place. For protection from fraudulent telemarketers, don’t make purchases over the phone from unfamiliar companies. If you have a question about an offer you received over the phone, contact the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Consumer Affairs at 1800-552-9963.

The board received reports on increasing vocational offerings and moving towards blockscheduling at the high school next year. The reports were preliminary and no action was taken, but the board is basically committed to block scheduling for the 1995-96 school year. Principal John Toth said the teachers strongly support block scheduling, but he expects more study before deciding whether to recommend semester; classes or alternate/ day classes for the entire year. Under the semester system, students would complete four courses in half a year and take four more the second semester. Under the alternate day system students would have four classes a day but take eight at once with classes meeting on alternate days. Mr. Toth said his final recommendation will also deal with the effects of a lengthened school day, whether or not to schedule study halls and the length of class periods. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell reported that the vocational advisory committee recommends that more courses be offered that would enable students to complete a vocational sequence at the high school. Some classes will probably only be offered in alternate years. There are recommendations in the business department, technology education and “Work and Family Studies,” formerly called home economics. The recommendation includes adding classes in desktop publishing, legal and medical systems administration, food management, clothing management and I manufacturing. Introduction to Business and Family Management would be dropped. Dr. Chappell reported that he expects to take a walk through the elementary school addition with the, building inspector and architect next Thursday. If the work is satisfactory, it will still be necessary to wax the floors and allow the building to air out before students can move in. He said the contractors expect to begin installing ceiling tile and floor tile this week. The move into the addition has been postponed one month, he reported. The board apporved a calendar for adopting next year’s budget. The December meeting is scheduled for the public and school employees to make recommendations on what they would like to see included in the next budget. Dr. Gangel reported that unexpected expenses have already cost the school system over $31,000 and that figure is expected to double when a new teacher is hired for special education. The largest items in t the list he presented are for special education. Many of the other unexpected expenses were for repair and maintenance of equipment.

From Page A-l earned a doctorate in Educational Administration from Virginia Tech. Dr. Chappell said Essex County, with Tappahannock as its county seat, has 1,500 students in three schools. “They already have a pretty good school system,” he said. “I just hope to go in there and do as excellent a job as I can as superintendent and help them to improve.” “I would have preferred to finish out the year, but superintendent’s vacancies don’t always come open at the normal time of year,” he said. Superintendent David Gangel said, “We’re going to start looking for a replacement.” He said there will be arrangements to cover the position on an interim basis. “I’d never want to lose Bob; I couldn’t get a better assistant, but if I have to lose him, this is not a bad time of year.”Dr. Gangel said that Dr. Chappell had major responsibility for selecting personnel. “That’s r .« mostly wrapped up and we’re not into the new cycle yet. Recruitment starts in February with recruitment fairs.” He said he hopes to have a replacement in place some time in February. Dr. Chappell has also served as “clerk of the works” for the building project at the elementary school, but by the end of November, “hopefully the project will be behind us,” Dr. Gangel said. Dr. Chappell would have also had responsibility to oversee work on altering the septic system at the elementary school, but “I can take that over.” Dr. Gangel said that administrative assistant Richard Smith has been assisting with transportation and can take over that responsibility. He said he would make sure other aspects of Dr. Gapppell’s job are covered on an interim basis. “I think he’ll be a very good superintendent,” he said. “He’s a real people person who works on an individual basis. He’s a real stickler for detail and follow through. He’s generally well-liked and extremely competent. He’ll be greatly missed.” Dr. Gangel said he believes the School Board will want to hire someone who could take over as superintendent, if necessary. He said the; County Gets Favorable Rate On VRS Landfill Bonds On Oct. 19 the Virginia Resources Authority closed a $1.62 million eight-year bond issue for the County of Rappahannoack at a true interest cost of 5.03 percent. The County will use the proceeds to construct a third cell at its landfill located on Route 639 in Amissville. This cell, at 4.4 acres, will be the largest cell built at the site to date. In addition, the County will extend the existing road and install scales at the landfill. The County will also consolidate the two green box sites into one centralized, manned green box site in addition to the one located at the landfill site. The County borrowed the funds from the Virginia Resources Authority’s Solid Waste Bond Program. This bond program allows localities in Virginia to borrow funds for solid waste projects; similar programs are available for water and sewer projects. Participants in all VRA bond programs save on interest costs due to the VRA’s AA bond rating from Standard & Poor’s, a national bond rating agency. The VRA lends the proceeds of its bond issues to borrowing localities at a favorable interest rate due to this rating, regardless of whether the locality itself has been rated. The Virginia Resources Authority was created to provide assistance to the local governments of Virginia for the financing of their water, sewer and solid waste projects. In the ten years of the VRA’s existence, localities in Virginia have utilized nearly $463 million in bonds for their environmental infrastructure needs form the Virginia Resoucres Authority bond programs. If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others. Robert Chappell new assistant superintendent should be someone with experience both as a classroom teacher and as a building principal. The School Board received a list explaining how administrative duties will be divided during the interim and some changes anticipated for next year when there is also a new person serving as pupil personnel director. ►Ridgetop v From Page A-l about the Shenandoah National Park is it is protecting the county’s aquifers. Mr. McCarthy reported rapid progress is being made on the new landfill cell. At the evening meeting the supervisors approved setting up an “enterprise fluid” to pay off the Virginia Resources Authority bonds issued to pay for the new cell and scales at the landfill. The enterprise fund will charge the county’s general fund a $43 per ton tipping fee. The supervisors debated charging a similar fee to commercial haulers but made no decision. Mr. McCarthy said they could consider that as they get closer to the June 1 date the cell is supposed to be open. The supervisors agreed to join Surry County in asking the Virginia Association of Counties to push for a bill in the General Assembly that would make all telephone, calls within a county toll-free. They approved a special exception for a boundary adjustment between David and John Pullen. They agreed to waive building fees and the county’s share of Health Department fees for the house to be built by Habitat for Humanity.

Some of the seniors have left the site this year for various reasons, and there is plenty of room for more to attend. The qualifications for attending are simple: be over 60 years old and enjoy socializing with friends. Even a free ride to the site on a van is provided, and seniors are picked up and returned to their own home. Lunch is provided for all attendees, at a minimum cost ranging from 50 cents to $2, depending on income. The hot meals are cooked in the kitchen at the Shadow Lawn Senior Center in Warrenton and delivered by volunteer drivers. The lunch almost always includes a meat, such as fried chicken or meatloaf, vegetables, dessert, bread and milk. f Dietary restrictions can usually be accommodated, such as diabetic aesserts. Mrs. Kiger dreams of the day when the nutrition site wrill have its own space. The nutrition site, which is run by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board in Culpeper, has been renting space at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington for several years, but a permanent space would be much more convenient. One of the problems is the stairs, which are difficult for some of the seniors to climb. , Another advantage of a permanent space would be that the seniors could leave out projects they may be working on, instead of having to, carry everything down a couple flights of stairs for storage until the next time the group meets. Everything else that gets used for the site, including kitchen utensils, coffee pot, food containers, plates, and napkins, is also stored down two flights of stairs. If the site also had their own kitchen, meals could be prepared on site and not have to be delivered. “It is so rural here that there is definitely a need for socialization,” said Mrs. Kiger. Many of the seniors have been coming to the site, which meets three times a week, for many years. They come and visit with their good friends, which they might otherwise not be able to see so often because of transportation problems. Besides having lunch together three times a week, the group travels whenever possible, to the county park for a picnic, to another nutrition site for lunch (they go to the Culpeper site once a month), or on a grocery shopping or Christmas shopping trip. Mrs. Kiger said that this Christmas season, the group will be going to the White House to see the decorations, and may get to see the Nutcracker. The seniors are required to pay for their own trips, and do so with their own funds raised from bake sales, quilt raffles, or other crafts and contributions from the community. Last year the Lions Club donated about $400 to the seniors. Because the seniors also must pay mileage if a company van is used to take them on a trip, the costs can really add up. Many local people donate goods to the group. Mrs. Kiger said that Lee’s Orchard donated apples this fall, and several gardeners bring in vegetables. Many of the seniors no longer tend their own vegetable gardens, so they especially appreciate the fresh produce. Hackley’s Store in Amissville has been donating food of all types to the seniors for many years. The group also makes a monthly trip to Hackley’s for grocery shopping, and they can also shop when they go on their Photo courtesy of Senior Citizens > Santa visits the site with cheer and presents. \ Concert of Russian Music To Be Offered “An Evening in Old Russia” comes to the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19. Russian and Ukrainian folk music and song will be performed by the 30member Washington Balalaika Society’s Russian Folk Orchestra, with soprano Anya Titova and Russian/Ukrainian instrumentalists, Peter Trofimenko, balalaika, and Evgenia Tochenaya, guitar. Russia’s most beloved folk instruments, the balalaika and domra were bom into humble beginnings as much as 750 years ago; an adaptation of an instrument brought to ancient Russia from China by the Mongol hordes of Ghengis and Batu Khan. Originally they were instruments to accompany ditties that as often as not poked fun at both the church and the tsar—a repertoire which several times caused the instruments to be banned by both institutions. Though crudely made, the instruments became a part of the fabric of Russian village musical tradition. It was not until the late 19th century that a young Russian nobleman and musician. V.V. Andreyev, adapted these crude stringed instruments to a standard of construction that allowed them to be played on the concert stage, and began the tradition which became the Russian Folk Orchestra. Today, it is common in most cities of any size in Russia to find one or more full orchestras of 60 to 100 members playing balalaikas, domras, bayans (the Russian accordion), winds and native percussion instruments in a repertoire ranging from folk to classical music. Andreyev’s work prior to his death in 1917 produced a renewed interest in Russia in its folk roots, and as people left the country during the troubled ’teens and ’twenties of this century many took with them instruments, forming orchestras in America and other countries wherever there was a concentration of Russian immigrants. Many of the original orchestras in the United States have dissolved over the years, but others such as the sixyear-old Washington Balalaika Society have risen to take their place. Most of the instruments played by the WBS Orchestra were made in Russia, and the repertoire is drawn from the best of Andreyev and his worthy successors both in Russia and America. The costumes worn by orchestra members were developed after painstaking research into authentic Russian traditional costuming. The program on Nov. 19 under the direction of Maxwell McCullough, past president of the Balalaika and Domra Association of America. He and other orchestra members have engaged in courses of study in Russia and Ukraine, and they bring a discernible note of authenticity to their performances, which have recently included programs at the Kennedy Center with the Paul Hill Chorale and at Constituion Hall with the Washington Civic Symphony as well as ensemble engagements at the Russian Embassy, Smithsonian Institution and Meridian House.

Phone 675-1253 for reservations or information. monthly trip. to Culpeper. These trips are a tremendous help to the seniors, because otherwise they would have to depend on family or friends to take them shopping. Very few have their own vehicles or even drive anymore. Various programs are provided for the seniors once or twice a week. Once a month, nurses from the local health department take everyone’s blood pressure and do sugar tests for diabetes, at no charge. Last week a political candidate visited the group, and sometimes county residents will stop by just to visit, or maybe give a slide show of an exciting trip they took. Other programs have included crafts, basket-making, pottery, nutrition and health information, groups from the schools singing and playing music, a luau with a belly dancer, picnics, and trips to the 4-H pool in Front Royal, shopping in Charlottesville, a boat trip on the Annabel Lee in Richmond, and a Bluemont concert. The Woodville Baptist Church hosts the group for a Thanksgiving dinner every year, and church member Bemie Price entertains them with organ music. At Easter time, children usually visit from CCLC to color eggs with the seniors. In the spring, the RCHS choir, which fills up a school bus, piles into the parish hall at Trinity to sing for them.

Markets Show Change Is Coming to Russia I . ' ■' “ By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer A change since we were in Russia in 1990 that was noticeable are markets where consumer goods of a new order are available to those with money to buy. We ivisited a large, open and covered market in, Irkutsk that must occupy a city block that we were assured is open daily. Quantities of meat were being hacked up with large axes. There was no odor, indicating to me it was all fresh.All sorts of vegetables and fruit were on sale-oranges from Morocco, bananas from Ecuador and pineapples from who knows where. Honey and all kinds of dairy products were abundant. Three bananas were about one dollar. In contrast to the cornucopia of the market were the sick and dispirited-looking people we saw. There were beggars at the churches and many poorly dressed and disfigured individuals, even hungry looking. Our guide said health care is free, but I could only wonder what that meant. When we saw the poor housing in the villages and the poor people in the cities, it was hard to think that good times were coming soon for the average l person. Our accompanying Russian specialist lecturers didn’t believe so either. I I kept thinking of the need for community development programs. If my impression of the want of aesthetics and cultural vigor in the villages is correct, resurrected religious institutions cannot be expected to bear the whole responsibility for spiritual and social growth, t Driving around Irkutsk, we saw many remnants of the old wooden houses sinking into the ground because they were not built on foundations. There is appreciation of the antique buildings and efforts are made to preserve some of them. The city was founded in 1676 where the Angara and the Irkut rivers join, the Angara being the only river that drains Lake Baikal, 45 miles away to the east. Irkutsk is well located as a Siberian trading center for north/south, east/west transport. To developing Russia in importance, one might compare Irkutsk to Chicago in our country. We visited an old church which recently had been refurbished. A large chapel was crowded because some children were being Christened. An old lady eagerly pointed out to me a picture of their first bishop. The ceilings and walls were decorated with illustrations of Biblical stories. Photo courtesy of Diana Bird Herbs were plentiful in the market at Irkutsk RLEP Meeting To Look At Past and Plan Future By KATHLEEN MAIER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer RLEP will be holding their annual meeting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 17 at the Spring Mountain School. A quick look at last year’s “harvest” includes: The Powerline victory, elementary school environmental club begins, work for Tier II designation for Hazel and Rappahannock Rivers, sensitive (ridge top) building sites brochure by Planning Commisssion, Earth Day in the park with Friends of Gaia and Sprial Grove dancers, new office space for RLEP, expanded horizons at Natural History Day Camp and last and most importantly the retreat of Disney! All of these efforts have come about through the committment of the members of our unique community. The annual meeting is an opportunity to learn more about these vital projects and find out where individuals can best participate in the preservation of our county. Certainly we have cause to celebrate and give thanks for our many successes, since the theme of this meeting is “Give Thanks for Rappahannock.” Bring family and friends for business as well as musical entertainment from the Friends of Gaia. We want your input and participation in the direction RLEP and the community as a whole should be taking.

Nearby stands a man of slight build and ragged appearance. However, as the National Anthem rings, his patriotism belies his countenance when he salutes with a trembling hand. A Vietnam veteran? Possibly... An elderly man leans thoughtfully upon his cane. What does he ponder as a World War II medly plays? Does he remember an erect soldier who has yet to learn of malice? A couple bows their heads during prayer. The woman stands and the man sits...in a wheelchair...her hand resting tenderly upon his shoulder, for a severed limb cannot sever love.

Halloween Party Enjoyed By SANDY POLICANO Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer On Saturday, Oct. 29 “Sandy’s Farm” near Amissville was the setting for a Halloween party. My disappointement was when “Jay” Carder, my brother phoned Friday to say a last minute assignment may prevent him from getting a replacement “force” and may not be here...so he didn’t come, along with some of his friends. The party was to celebrate his last two years as owner and manager of “Pro-Alert” Security Systems, a private duty investigative group our of Rockville, Md. and serving the entire Maryland areas. His past “Personal” assignment was at Cell-Mart Labs in Gaithersburg, Md. where O.J. Simpson’s “D.N.A.” Testing was ongoing for 60 days. Following are recipes which I tried to keep cultural and as “native” as possible for the event. Wiches Brew: Spiced apple punch served with “blackened” Pretzels, a cajun treat. Medusa’s Soup: Hot pumpkin (fresh) with “curry” and other gourmet vegetables and their seasonings. Viper’s Appetizers: Hickory smoked fresh sausages from Surry, Va. which I rolled in homemade bread “blankets” and baked fresh. 1 Served with garlic mustard, hot Russian mustard and creole mustard Smithfield Devils: 1 cup Smithfield finely chopped cured ham and Tammy Compton won best costume prize. process in processor with: A.) Sauteed vidalis onions 1/4 cup, choped fine to which I added a dash of brown sugar and candied slightly; B.) then added 1/2 cup crushed (drained) pineapple with ham and 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese. Blend and serve with Wheat Thinsos homemade French or Italian bread toast triangles. Drizzle green pepper jelly over h’orderves! Read Good! Beetlzebub Tarts: Virginia peanuts baked in “Pecan Pie fashion” in small tarts-heated at serving time and served with French vanilla ice milk!. So basically Virginia recipes with some cajun “flair.*’ Roselie Melons, photographer, closed shop about 8 p.m. Guests arriving after that didn’t get photographed, Victoria Powell a manicurist at Hair Designs and three friends from the Vienna and Arlington area and a couple dear friends who are neighbors.

SPESSARD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer It’s official! The Twelfth Annual Woolly Bear Contest ended Nov. 1 and the winners have been announced. During the month of October, 796 woolly bears were turned into the Woolly Bear Headquarters in Hagerstown, Md. The purpose of the contest was to gather enough woolly bears to analyze their markings and determine what type of winter we will have in the upcoming months and also to compare the woolly bears’ predictions to those made By the Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack 18 months ago. In the first category, the Biggest and Woolliest earning the title of “Hairy Hager,” the winners were Jessica and Amy Baer of Hagerstown. Jessica is a nine year old fifth grader at Grace Academy, Amy is a four year old preschooler. Jessica and Amy received a $100 cash prize. Runner-up in that category was Allen Russell, a 73 year old gentleman from Keameysville, W.VA. Allen received six copes of the 1995 Almanack to share with his family and friends. In the second category, the Cutest and Cuddliest and crowned “Alma,” the winners were Danielle and Ethan Shives of Big Poll, Md. Danielle is a seven year old second grader and Ethan is a four and a half year old kindergartner. They both attend Clear Spring Elementary School in Clar Spring, Md. Danielle and Ethan received $100. The runner-up in this category was Jonathan Cbz of Williamsport, Md. Jonathan is a 12 year old seventh grader at Springfield Elementary School. Jonathan receives six gropes of the 1995 Almanack to share with his family and friends. For the seventh year in a row, the sponsors, the Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack, put a lot of emphasis on trying to get the school children in the areas to participate. A number of schools made this a class project. In additional to the schools participating from Washington County, we also heard from several schools in surrounding counties. From the 796 woolly bears, the consensus is that the first half of the winter starting Nov. 15 and going to Jan 15 will be a little colder and wetter than normal for that time of the year. From Jan. 16 to the end of March, the woolly bears show a very mild winter with above average temperatures and little snow. The woolly bears predicted this by their three bands of which the front band (representing the first half of winter) was a little longer than normal in length. The back band (representing the second half of winter) was significantly shorter than normal. As a result of those markings, which were similar in all woolly bears, the sponsors were able to make the predictions. The woolly bears and the Almanack differ for the second year in their predictions. The Almanack predicts the first half of the winter to be very cold, while the woolly bears say the weather will be a little colder than normal for that time of the vear. With regard to the second half of the winter, again the woolly bears and the Almanack differ. The woolly bears are predicting a very mild winter from Jan. 15 until spring, while the Almanack says the end of January will be very cold as well as February and the first part of March. If the Almanack is correct in its prediction of both snowfall and temperature conditions, we will see the majority of the 51 inches of snow that is predicted fall in January and February. If the woolly bears, on the other hand, are correct, we will see a lot of rain in January and February and we will not see 51 inches of snow as the Almanack has called for. According to Professor Bill O’Toole, the Almanack’s weather prognosticator and a Mt. St. Mary’s College Computer instructor, the first year of snow will be in the form of light snow showers Nov. 8 and 9. The first snowfall of any accumulation should be Dec. 21 and 22. We should also have a white Christmas and New Year’s as O’Toole predicts a snowfall Dec. 22-24 and again on Jan. 1 and 2. We would like to congratulate the winners of the Twelfth Annual Woolly Bear Contest and hope we will have a larger turnout for next year’s contest. 1 School Lunch Menus RCES Nov. 14-Nov. 18 Monday, Nov. 14: Breakfast: Hot cinnamon toast or cereal/milk, toast, juice; Lunch: Burrito, baked potato or com, choice of fruit.

Warm Me Up Soups and Stews By HELEN W. SMITH Exterakxt Agent, Home Economic* Soups and stews are among the most versatile dishes in a cook’s repertoire. Served for brunch, lunch or dinner, a big pot of homemade soup or stew is an ideal way to warm the appetite on a chilly day. Homemade soups and stews may be created from whatever ingredients you have on hand. The base for many soups is a broth made by simmering the meaty bones from leftover roasted turkey, chicken, ham or beef in water. When the broth has finished cooking, it should be strained. The tender meat clinging to the bones may be removed and added back to the broth along with a variety of vegetables. Refrigerate the broth overnight to let the fat solidify. Then remove the fat to make a low-fat and low-calorie broth. Simmer, Don’t Boil When preparing soups and stews, the simmering step is most critical. For example, a beef stew that has boiled quickly will not taste or look as good as one that has gently simmered for several hours. When roughly boiled, the meat will toughen and become stringy and the vegetables will break apart. Most soups can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for two to three days. Some ingredients, like potatoes, do not freeze well. They should be cooked and added after thawing. Nancy Freeman at the Department of Social Services shared a recipe for Quick Mushroom Stew with me recently and gave me the topic . HOME ECONOMICS for my nutrition column this week. Here are Nancy’s recipe and several others for a bowl of warm soup this winter.

BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On a wonderful Autumn day; brilliant colors, a hint of a chill on the breeze, while wanning rays of sun danced between the leaves, all greeting us in the finest of Fall splendor on Saturday morning, Oct. 8, as we met to keep our appointment with visiting our ancestral burial ground...the Bolen Cemetery. The call for extra vehicles for our caravan was heeded. The souls of thirty-six individuals, whose ages ranged from three to eighty, se-‘ lected a four-wheeled beast of burden and we drove the mile to our destination. To our pleasure and surprise the passage was made quite easily. Thanks to the recent road work done by Shenandoah National Park employees and the generosity of the adjoining land owners. Those who made the outing were: Haley Payne Drummound, Roy W. Dummond and daughter, Morgan, Charles W. “Chuck” Drummond from Winchester, Dorothy Kelley McWaters of Rixeyville, Mary Bolen Burner, Nina Bolen Cornwell, Beulah Bolen, Isaac H. and Elna Cornell Beahm, Dorothy Grove and son Gill, Bob and Patsy Burner Bronw, and Jenny Cornell Frazier, all of Luray. Lorene Dwyer and her two children, Jeanie and Jeff, Silas A. and Kathleen Atkins Beahm of Washington, Anne ' ! Dwyer, James F. and Lucy Bail and Nina Baker Peyton, all of Culpeper County, Carl J. and Carolyn Payne Mitchell and Nannie Kendall Payne of Front Royal, Daniel and Sally Dwyer Keyser, Florine Pullen Baldwin and grandchildren, Joshua and Amanda Smoot, Clyde and Lillie Dwyer Pullen, all of near Sperryville, David Robert and Wayne F.g Baldwin of Madison County. We must extend our apologies to Mrs. John (Dorothy Sisk) Pullen for blocking the road on her at the time of our exiting from the day’s outing. We regret the error but hope she will forgive us. We can assure her that it will not happen again. usiness & S 703-675-3338 Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space m M: ACCOUNTING ACCOUNTING PERFORMED AT YOUR BUSINESS LOCATION Computerized monthly bookkeeping performed at your business location by accountant w/over 30 year experience (703)364-1451 ^Homer E Pinckard, Jr.^ BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.

Fall Raspberries By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock Newa Contributinf Writer With the introduction of some newer varieties, raspberries can be eryoyable treats in both summer and fall. In fact, unless your area has been caught by an unseasonably early frost, you still could be picking raspberries from everbearing varieties. The so-called everbearing varieties of raspberries should be considered two-season bearers as each cane produces the first crop in the fall its first year, and a second crop in the summer of its second year. Know When To Prune Canes After the second crop is produced, the cane dies and should be removed. The crown of the plant, however, lives for eight or more years and continues to produce new canes each year. This means that after you have completed the June harvest and removed all canes, there still will be many new ones that will produce a fall crop. For those people who find this system confusing, there is another way of pruning that has proven quite successful with fall-bearing raspberries such as the variety, Heritage. It eliminates the need to decide if a cane has completed both crops should be removed. In this system, Heritage is grown as a fall bearer only and never allowed to set the second crop in the summer. Canes grow for a season, produce a crop in the fall, and are left on the plant to help it survive the winter. They are then removed in early spring. The canes can be cut with a rotary mower and all cut material removed from the planting. New canes will grow from the crowns to produce that fall’s harvest and the cutting procedure can be repeated the next spring. Although you miss the June harvest, the total yield will be higher in the fall than it is on plants producing two crops per year, and the maintenance will be reduced greatly. Plan Your Patch for What Your Family Enjoys If you don’t want to miss those June raspberries, you might set aside one part of Heritage patch for traditional pruning. Or you might grow one of the June bearing varieties such as Latham. October was the time to prepare your soil to plant raspberries next spring. They prefer a pH of 5.8 to 6.5 and a deep sandy-loam soil. Converting part of your garden to raspberries could be ideal, but avoid areas where tomatoes, eggplants, or potatoes have grown. These crops often carry verticillium wilt which lives in the soil for many year and is very damaging to raspberries.
