Allen, Send Lottery Funds Home RICHMOND — Rappahannock County could see an additional $8,988 in state revenues from an initiative announced this week by Gov. George Allen. The governor’s plan, to return 5 percent of state lottery revenues to localities for education, public safety or local tax relief, mirrors one he proposed to the General Assembly during this year’s, session. The legislature refused to consider it! He is asking the members of the General Assembly to reconsider the issue during next Wednesday’s veto session. Gov. Allen’s plan also calls for all lottery proceeds to be returned to localities after a five-year phased program. “When the people of Virginia voted for the lottery eight years ago, they believed that lottery profits would be earmarked for schools or other important needs,” Gov. Allen said in his announcement. “Unfortunately, that has not been the case.” Former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder usurped the lottery' proceeds for the state general fund in the depths of the recent recession. That revenue boost helped the state avoid a tax increase while keeping the budget in balance. Gov. Allen’s plan would return $15 million to localities during the 1995-96 fiscal year. When all profits are distributed, in fiscal 2000-01, Virginia localities will receive more than $300 million in additional state aid. Gov, Allen will propose budget amendments cutting $15 million in state expenses, including sale of the yacht Chesapeake and renovations of legislative committee rooms. Those cuts will allow the distribution of the lottery profits without affecting the state budget, he said. Other cuts Gov. Allen is proposing this year to pay for returning $15 million of lottery proceeds to the localities include a 6pereent reduction in grants for public TV and radio, a $1.5 million in cuts to local Community Services Boards, $3.4 million in cuts to general welfare relief, a 6 percent in funding for the House of Delegates, $3 million in housing assistance and a $3 million reduction in the reserve fund. Many of those cuts were formerly recommended by the governor as a way to pay for a general income tax cut. The Democrat controlled assembly restored the cuts during the regular session. Gov. Allen was sharply critical of the Democratic-con-, trolled General Assembly for failing to consider his bill during the session just ended. Their alternative, he saitj, merely restructured existing allocations and added no new money. “Unlike the legislation sent to me by the General Assembly, our amendments will direct additional money to communities and provide a true and actual increase in funds available at the local level for education,” the governor said. “In the form in which it was passed, the Van Landingham See Allen, Page A-6 r Old Rag Bulletins Revenue Office Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins announced that applications for tax relief for the low-income elderly and disabled are due by June 30.

Softball Team Ties Strasburg Baseball Looking for First Win By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock softball team picked up a tie Tuesday evening in a game with Strasburg. The game was called because of dark with the score tied 12 to 12. The tie followed a season opening loss to Central Friday afternoon 14 to 9. The baseball team is still looking for its first win after losing to Central 16 to 0 and to Strasburg 20 to 1. Softball Coach Carl Payne is encouraged by his team’s play. In the Tuesday game Janet Hitt had a single, Cari Kerr had a triple and a single, Kylene Wolf had two singles, Angie Atkins had a single, Sandra Kludasch had a single, Courtney Welch had a single, and Amy Payne had a triple and a double. Amy Payne pitched the entire eight innings. In the Central game Amy Payne pitched most of the game with Kylene Wolfe coming in for two-thirds of the fifth inning. Susan Jewell had two hits. Janet Hitt had three hits, Kylene Wolfe had one hit, and Cari Kerr had two hits including a triple. Following that game Coach Payne said he believes his girls will have a good season. Following the Central game, baseball Coach Jason Gouchenour said he advised his players to put the game behind them and try to forget about it. In the baseball game. Central’s junior pitcher Joe Kane pitched his first no-hitter. He gave up one walk and had seven strike outs. The Falcons had 14 hits. In Tuesday’s outing against Strasburg, the Panther squad got its first hit when Jason Brown got a double. James Eastham laid a sacrifice bunt down the third base line, moving Jason Brown to third. A pitch that got past Strasburg’s catcher allowed Jason to score Rappahannock’s first run of the season. In a later inning Jon Butler also got a double, but he was left on the bag. Willie Eastham tried to stretch a solid single into a double, when the throw went past the first baseman’s glove, but he was throw n out at second. Coach Gouchenour had little to say about the game. Reform Plans For Welfare Conflicting Few Jobs Available By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Stall Writer Beverly Leathers, the head of the county Social Services Department, is not sure what proposals for welfare reform may mean in her ottice, but she feels like she’s been through it before. And County Administrator John McCarthy, who also serves as a member of the Social Services Board, is concerned that it might turn into another program to switch responsibility, but not funds, onto the county. Mrs. Leathers said when she first started in social work, there was a program to get people off the welfare rolls and into work. She said she managed to get many people employed, and then the program was dropped, and all but one went back on welfare. Locally there are 24 cases in the Aid to Families with See Welfare, Page A-6 Board Approves School Budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board unanimously adopted a $6.14 million budget Tuesday night. This budget had been cut SI 83,589 from the original proposal. It includes a 2 percent increase to the teachers’ and teachers aides’ salary scales. This produces a teachers’ salary scale that ranges from S22,063 for a beginning teacher with a bachelor's degree to $35,802 for a teacher with 29 years’ experience. An additional $1,800 is offered for a master’s degree. The teachers’ aide salary schedule ranges from $9,733 as a starting salary to $12,734 with 20 or more years of experience. I he first draft of the budget included a 5 percent increase to the teachers’ salary scale. The budget now goes to the Board of Supervisors which has scheduled a public hearing for April 24 with adoption of the school budget for the coming year scheduled for May 1. School Board member Paul Nichols was absent from Tuesday night’s meeting because of health problems. The ‘board wished him well. Hampton District representative Bryant Lee commended Superintendent David Gangel and bookkeeper Bonnie Haun for their work on the budget and making the adjustments the hoard recommended. “My hat’s otT to you all. You have done an excellent job,” he said. Chairman Beverly Massie agreed saying board members “certainly appreciate” the hours Mrs. Haun puts into the budget. The motion to approve the budget was made by Mr. Lee and seconded by Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative John Tole. The budget was approved 4 to 0. Re-Enactment Group Practices in County By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Twenty-five men of the 7th Tennessee A Company Civil War re-enactment group practiced in the hills of Flint Hill last weekend. They set up their camp Ken Gilpin's front yard. He is one of the members. Everything about the group is authentic, down to the canteens and campfire. The men marched on land adjoining Mr. Gilpip’s and practiced actual battlefield maneuvers, along with volley firing, when everyone shoots their weapons at once. They use only black powder, and the rifles are equipped with bayonets. Two kinds of events are'put on by the men, tactical and scripted. During the tactical events, said Mr. Gilpin, they take on the Yankees all day and see who can best the other by maneuvers. This events usually takes place in woods or rough areas. The scripted events re-enact the battle as it really happened. They perform 18 re-enactments in a year, all up and down the east coast. “We have boys from North Carolina to Brooklyn,” said Mr. Gilpin. Their next performance will be at Sai'or’s Creek at Farmville, Virginia the second weekend of April. The closest one they do to Rappahannock County is at Cedar Creek in Middletown the third week of October. Mr. Gilpin said that the biggest re-enactment. with 10,000 troops, is held in October in Nashville, Tennessee. They try to have the re-enactments on the actual dates the battles took place, and on the actual battletields. Owners of battlefields may charge admission to the reenactments, but the money does not go to the re-enactors. Mr. Gilpin said that money goes to preservation of the battlefield, and his group will not perform on land where admission does not go to the preservation of the land. All of the men use their own money to ' purchase their authentic uniforms and accoutrements. “There is a lot of spirit in these outfits,” said Mr. Gilpin. The original 7th Tennessee company, Mr. Gilpin explained, was from DeKalb County in Tennessee, and was part of the northern Virginia army in 1861. He said they fought in every major campaign in northern Virginia. Forty-four survived in this company until the surrender at Appomattox. Mr. Gilpin has been involved in re-enactment groups since 1961, and has been a member of his present group since 1993.

Dry Weather, High Winds Cause Fires By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahtnnock News Staff Writer Rain Monday night produced some relief from the dry weather of the past several weeks, but it is not enough to truly reduce the danger of fires, Sheriff John Henry Woodward said Tuesday . The past week saw two structural fires, one that destroyed the home of Chilton Raiford on U.S. 21 1 near Amissville and one that destroyed an outbuilding on David Gheen’s property also near Amissville. Sheriff Woodward said it is believed that sparks from the chimne\ caused the Raiford fire. Most of the rest were caused by controlled burning that became uncontrolled, he said. There were brush fires on Red Oak, on the edge of Washington, and at John Tole’s house on the Rock Mills Road, Another brush fire at the Waylands near Washington is believed to have been caused by a transformer arcing and setting grass on fire, he said. High winds fanned the flames of several of these fires. Fortunately in most cases the wind was pushing the fires away from houses. Two fires were reported at the Scrabble dumpster site. Sheriff Woodward said he believes the first started because of hot ashes put in the dumpster. The fire began again because it was not thoroughly doused, he said. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Ann Spieker and Bill Lanning work to douse a brush burning in woods near the Toles’ house Friday. The fire at Scrabble set the grass on fire and came within 20 feet of the old Scrabble Graded School building, he added. Sheriff Woodward warns that until the grass is really growing, it is still necessary to be very careful of tire.

Gangel Writes Choral Reading Book By CINDY MAHAN Rapp»h»nnock Ncwj Staff Writer Kathryn Gangel of Sperryville is the author of a newly published book, Confetti: a crazy, corny collection of choral reading activities for the classroom. Mrs. Gangel teaches a third grade class at Springfield Elementary School in Rileyville, Page County. She said that she uses choral reading, which is the reading of a poem or verse orally in unison, to “build literacy, to immerse children in the wonders of language, and to inspire a lifelong desire for reading, writing, singing, speaking, listening, and expressing. It is really fun and a wonderful way to involve everybody.” Her book is a collection of 29 choral readings with a learning activity for each. As a longtime fan of choral reading and poems, she wanted to do them with her students, but could not find ready made material for doing so. Her students loved reading poems aloud in the classroom, and since choral reading is a requirement for third graders in Virginia, she decided to write her own choral readings, using the students’ suggestions for topics. Mrs. Gangel said, “An ideal poem for choral reading should have a pronounced rhythm, a predictable rhyme scheme, repetition, and several verses.” It is possible to have different groups within the class read different verses of the poem, according to their reading ability. Choral reading helps children develop language skills by being active *> Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Chris Lauderback spikes the ball past Sarah Gentry. Volleyball Fun Day Held By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The first RAAP Community Volleyball Tournament Saturday brought plenty of humor and fierce competition. A team made up of Kevin Day, Kath Gilman, Sarah Gentry, Jennings Carney, Becky Gallegos, Griffin Ward and Jason Baldwin eventually prevailed. Kevin Day’s spikes at the net contributed mightily to the team’s success. They conquered a team made up of mostly high school seniors for the championship. That team had Justin Day, Johanna Tole, Jaimee Hammit, Mike Wolfe, Susan Jewell, Jonathan Maeyer, Sandra Kludasch and Ozzie Villar. The two teams met in the championship match after the senior class defeated a team made up of Tony Williams, Janell Hopkins, Emmy Bailey, Dale Hopkins, Molly Bailey, Peggy Stephenson and John from the Manassas area, who could not be further identified.

Further, it helps children learn to read and learn new words. She also believes that it encourages students to use their own imaginations and creativity in coming up with other ideas to continue or change the poems In addition, she said, they learn to appreciate poetry. She suggests that in the classroom, the teacher first read the poem aloud to the students. Every student receives a copy of the poem and the teacher helps the children to read and speak the poem in unison, doing one section at a time. Mrs. Gangel said, “Most students enjoy variation and are eager to explore the different approaches to choral reading. Choose a choral reading poem and method to match your students’ abilities and interest.” One way, she said, is the refrain approach, in which the teacher reads the verses and the class reads the chorus. Another is the antiphonal approach, where two groups read alternate lines. Solo voices is another type, where one student would read a portion of the poem aloud by himself. The hardest approach, she said, is reading in unison. “This is a complex approach because all of the students read the entire chant together, and they all must respond simultaneously to the tempo, pitch, and other variables," said Mrs. Gangel. In the book, an activity to match a poem might be to ask the student to write a new ending, for the poem, to draw a picture illustrating it, compose sentences using alliteration, or perhaps a puzzle of some sort. The titles of the poems reflect their whimsical nature: “Dinosaur Dance," “Friday Frog's French Fries,” and “Stowaway Stinkbug" are three. The spiralbound book is published by The Wright Group and is available through school supply catalogs. Mrs. Gangel said that she has been writing poems since she was in the third grade. Every Thursday she was required to bring a poem to school, chosen from a library book. She would often forget to get that poem in time, and found that it was easier for her to write her own poem and take that to class. She is always thinking of new poems to write, and those ideas may come to her while in the shower, or while driving over the mountain to Page County . “Sometimes 1 have to pull off the side of the road,” she said, to write down her ideas. Already she has several new poems for a possible Volume II o(Confetti. Kathryn Gangel Mrs. Gangel lives with her husband David and children Holly and Marshall, in a house they have built themselves in Sperryville. Following is one of the poems found in Confetti printed with the permission of the publisher: FOXFIRE The cow and the owl were secret friends. They played out under the trees. The cow and the owl saw a strange, orange light The night of the warm summer breeze. (whoo whoo, moo moo) The cow and the owl both blinked their eyes When they saw the strange, orange light. Spoke the cow to the owl, "You think we should run, Or go check out the strange, orange 1 iuht?” (whoo whoo, moo moo) The cow and the owl both moved real slow To a tree near the strange, orange light. The cow and the owl sniffed the orange foxfire And they both turned orange that night. (whoo whoo, moo moo) Now the cow and the owl are famous friends. They play out under the trees. For the cow and the owl are bright orange Creatures From the night of the w arm summer breeze.

What is a lot harder is figuring out how to change that without doing even more harm. If welfare mothers are to be denied their checks if they don’t get jobs, society either has to be prepared to take the children away from “the mothers and put them in better homes or provide employment for the mothers. At the heart of the rising demands that something be done about welfare is deep concern about the growing number of illegitimate births. Most mothers on welfare are poorly educated and lack basic social and work related skills. There aren’t a lot of jobs waiting for such people, but the welfare reform bill passed by the general assembly would require the mothers to get jobs or do community service work. Certainly community service is highly desirable, but there .are only a certain number of such jobs to be done, and the community reasonably wants them done by qualified people. ■-> Mothers of young children will require child care and transportation assistance to get jobs. Many will require tutoring and job training. None of this is cheap, but the public expects to save money by requiring welfare recipients to work. There is also an assumption that if it is more difficult to get welfare, fewer peopie will have children they can't support. There is not much evidence to support this assumption. Most children are better off in a family with both a mother and father. Perhaps the single piece of the reform bill that may help is the requirement that mothers name the fathers of their children. If fathers are required to support their children, they may marry the mothers increasing the likelihood that the children will be raised in an intact home. At least they may take more responsibility for avoiding pregnancy. There is a lot of uncertainty about what effect the welfare reform bill passed by the General Assembly will have. There is even more uncertainty about proposals now in Congress. It has taken three generations to get into the current welfare morass. It may well take three or more generations to get out of it. Politicians and taxpayers need to be certain that programs are developed that have some chance of success and that once developed they are carried through and adequately funded. i-—--—--— TTV Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cmdy Mahan* Re-enacters from the 7th Tennessee Company marched off to imaginary battles Saturday in Flint Hill. Letters Cleanup Scheduled To the Editor: On Saturday, April 8 there will be an organised effort to clean county roadsides and the county park and to Encourage people to look around their homes and take recyclable goods to appropriate locations. From 9 a m. to 1 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Park community members may stop by and pick up trash bags supplied by VDOT and either report the road they wish to concentrate on, be assigned a road, or help pick up trash in the county park between the Rush River and the playground area. Any group or organization that has “adopted” or wishes to adopt a particular road or roads should be sure to report their efforts or interests in so doing. At present, several roads have been “adopted” and as such are supposedly kept clean throughout the year, but an even greater number of roads are neither “adopted” nor kept very clean, and some are being increasingly used as illegal dump sites. It would be helpful if residents worked together to keep their towns, hollows and neighborhoods and the roads to or in them clean. It would be particularly helpful if groups wanted to “adopt” certain troublesome areas for maintenance and surveillance. For a list of roads needing adoption, or to report roads being looked after or that need help, call the Ragged Mountain Resource Center at 675-1879. Also, to support the idea of a central, organized recycling and litter center, contact your district supervisors and the county administration office. If you cannot participate on the 8th, please make an effort, not only this spring, but throughout the year, to help keep Rappahannock beautiful and clean! HUNT HARRIS Castleton Hospice Training Offered .£? - '' ■ To the Editor: Recently your newspaper carried a flattering story about me, on the occasion of my being chosen by the Hospice of the Rapidan as “Volunteer of the Year” for 1994. Although I appreciated being recognized in this way for my work with the Hospice, I am left with the feeling that the emphasis was a bit misplaced, since it concentrated on my personal life and my own work with the Hospice. I would like to urge anyone with whom the article struck a resonant chord, to consider registering for the volunteer training session, to be held at the Hospice headquarters, starting March 28. Call Hospice of the Rapidan at 825-4840 to reserve a place. Working with people who are terminally ill is not at all like what most people imagine. It is not about dying. It is about living; about helping the patient to live, as fully as possible, their last days, weeks, or months. To be allowed to participate and help in this awesome and wonderful process is a rare gift and privilege. So, please consider whether this kind of volunteer work is for you, and, if so, call 825-4840. The personal rewards are great! SID GOTTLIEB Boston Wakeup Calls Come To the Editor: My letter is by way of commenting on two vital issues that concern Rappahannock County at this time...road building and ridge top development. Wakeup calls abound for anyone who has the vague feeling that we are being herded like cattle toward a future we didn’t choose and may not like. It begins with accepting the arguable premise that we need more, bigger and wider roads, and ends with a landscape and way of life changed forever. 1 read an article once about U.S. highways which described them as being, like the American experience itself, fast, anonymous and lonely. 1 he Rappahannock experience is just the opposite...leisurely, personal and friendly. Highway departments and companies that do traffic studies have certain agendas, but are they ours? Our agenda for the future might include handwaving’ ...hard to do, if everyone is going fast in the same direction. And about ridge top development...You can, apparently, own the top of a mountain. You can even be said to “own” the view from the mountain. But you can't own the view of the mountain. That belongs to everyone...those who live here, those who visit, and those who come after. A “scalped” mountain, or a ridge vtop that looks like it has been attacked by a giant pair of pinking shears is not a pretty sight, no matter how grand the house that sits atop. NANCY McBRIDE Sperry vi lie Art Is Valuable To the Editor: 1 felt encouraged reading 'the report on the last school board meeting that Rappahannock Couhty Schools understand the need f0r a fulltime art teacher. The emotional and practical value of such a daily activity was well support by parents, teachers and students. This subject reminded me of a conversation I have had with the fulltime art teacher at Highland, Karen Stinnett. I think her understanding, of the value art plays in the studerft’s life is useful to share with those considering the same for our local schools. “There are no answers at the back of the book for art. You have to (jnd your own way to the answer. This is creative thinking. It is creative problem solving. And it is used for the rest of your life whether you are a doctor, lawyer, carpenter or cook.” I am hopeful that we can foster this kind of thinking and its expression in the children of this county in all possible subjects as well as in their regular art classes. BARBARA SHERWOOD Washington The Writer’s Art Poor Spelling and First Impressions r * By JAMES J. KILPATRICK L'ni\crsal Press Syndicate Last month a financial consultant in North Carolina sent a letter to a prospective investor: “I have enclosed some information which I hope you find usefull in making a decision on Sante Fe Pacific. 1 have copied the lates Value Lines on SFX and BNL. Also enclosed is our analysts most recent report on Sante Fe...Hope this is all usefull to you.” What impression do you suppose this illiterate letter made on the prospect? Not much. The prospect sent it to mp with a note of incredulity. Here was a representative of a major investment house, a member of the New York Stock Exchange, and he couldn’t spell “useful” or “Santa Fe.” He carelessly messed up on “latest" and he left out the possessive apostrophe in “analyst’s.” „ Leap across the continent. Last October a gentleman who identified himself as “realtor and lawyer” sounded out a prospect in Seattle. He wrote “on behalf of an ex-patriot Seattle-lite who is desireous of returning home to his roots.” He added that he didn’t know the prospect’s “market nitche.” There’s no need to rub in a moral to the stories. In human and in business relationships, first impressions matter. If a first impression is poor, there may never be a second chance to make a better one. A poorly spelled letter is a gravy-stained tie. Thinking of that “market nitche,” a tailor in Kansas City promoted his own “nitch" in the city. The word is “niche,” rooted in the Italian “nicchio,” seasheli, transplanted into English by way of the French “niche,” a hollow in a tree. And apropos of all that, a sportswriter in Miami reported that pitcher Jack Armstrong reads heavy stuff “like the philosophies of Niche.” In Las Vegas, a reporter interviewed Terry Anderson, the journalist who was held hostage for seven years in Lebanon. Anderson often “quotes Nietze.” The gloomy German was Friedrich Nietzsche. The name comes from his father, who was Mr. Nietzsche. Onward! Or rather “forward!” Lots of writers foul out on this one. The AP reported last July that astronaut Alan Shepard had written a boolf “with a forward by Neil Armstrong.” In the Chicago Tribune a columnist reviewed “The Haldeman Diaries." Stephen Ambrose “wrote the^book’s forward ahd afterward.” Gentlemen, those are forewords and afterwords! One word comes before, the other word comes after. All clear? Rural train of thought: The American Legion magazine once observed that in the ‘30s and ‘40s, “labor unions had a hay day.” That spelling makes a certain sense, for farmers make hay on days when the sun shines, but what the unions hid was a “heyday,” dating back to about 1526, a stage or period of greatest strength. \ Still on the farm: In Virginia, tpe Farm Bureau News reported a good word last July from Khe Commonwealth’s new commissioner of agriculture. “I don’t plan to cowtow to politics,” he said. The sfifbe bovine spelling appeared injhe Binghamton (N.Y.) Press & 5gipBulletin, where a guest columgi^t recalled that her dad “never cjwtowed to the big Whigs.” Or to httle Whigs either. For the record, “kowtow” comes from the Chinese word for “knock the head.” The 18th-century custom w&s for a peasant to touch the ground with his forehead as a symbol of slavish submission. When in doubt about the spelling of a word, look it up! And stay in doubt! g Copyright 1995 Universal Press Syndicate

At the meet held last Wednesday at Page County, the girls’ team came in second, while the boys finished third. Willie Shanks, with 14 points, and Holly Gangel, with 13, won the most points for Rappahannock. Holly Gangel placed first in both the 3200m with a time of 13:40, and the 800m at 2:47. Caroline Baumgardner won the 1600m at 8:39. Dawn Havstad placed first in the discus, throwing it 80’1”. Dawn finished second in the shot put with a distance of 28’ 1 ”, and Holly cleared 4’6” to place second in the high jump. Robyn Kaye came in second in the 400m with a time of 1:15:53. Regan Nesmith placed third in the 100m and fourth in the 200m runs. Caroline Baumgardner placed third in the 800m, and Robin Kaye came in fourth in the 100m. Willie Shanks earned his 14 points by placing second in the long jump (18’3”), second in the 100m (12:09); second in the 200m (25:66); and third in the shot put. He was also on the 4x100 relay team, which placed second. Other ■■ . m—mmmmmmmm—— members of this team were R.J. White, Mike Wolfe and Jason Carter. Mark Jenkins won the 400m with a time of 58:28. He finished second in the 800m at 2:23, and came in fourth in the long jump. Jason Carter finished fourth in both the 100m and the 200m runs. Ozzie Villar was third in the 800m and R.J. White finished fourth in the 400m. .Coach Dave van de Graaff said that his team is young, that they are good listeners and want to work hard. Though the soccer team lost to James Wood 3-1 last Friday, Coach Uli Maeyer said he is really pleased with his team’s performance. “It is one of the toughest teams we will have to play this season,” he said. Holding the score to 3-1 gave him confidence that his team will do well the rest of the season. Coach Maeyer said that it was a high-caliber, extremely fast and intense game. James Wood scored one goal each in the first and second quarters. In the third quarter, Mike Wolfe took the ball from the midfield line and scored a goal, making the score 2-1. James Wood made a penalty kick with 15 minutes to go in the game. The soccer team was scheduled to play at Madison on Tuesday, and at Warren County at 6 p.m. this Friday. Their first home game will be against James Wood on April 4 at 5 p.m. Young Principal Rappahannock News Staff Photo^Sharon Kilpatrick Fourth grader Ralph Pace got to be Principal for a Day last Friday.

From Page A-l ► Allen bill purports to allocate ‘lottery’ revenues to education, but it actually represents nothing more than a cynical, deceptive shell game. The alternative proposal does not add a single dollar available for education. It merely applies the ‘lottery’ label to general fund revenues already going to education.” The Democrats, citing Allen administration proposals to slash local aid by as much as $100 million, accused him of giving with one hand while taking with the other. “Some members of the General Assembly, no doubt, will continue to say that state government must keep every penny within its clutches, and that we cannot afford this reduction in state spending growth, even for priorities such as local funding for education, law enforcement and tax relief. For those, however, who share my goal of eliminating wasteful government spending, and empowering citizens and local communities, these amendments provide a second chance to reach beyond the mediocre status quo and enact positive change that will improve Virginia’s future.” The allocation formula used this year will be based on the local composite index, which is also used to distribute the basic school aid to localities. The formula is used to determine the “state’s share” of an additional $25.54 per student. The local composite index is a means by which the state determines a locality’s wealth relative to other localities in the state. Rappahannock is considered one of the wealthiest localities, and thus the formula contributes less of the $25.54 per student to Rappahannock than to most localities in the state. The governor’s newly-created Commission on State and Local Government Responsibility and Taxing Authority will recommend a formula for distribution in future years. “Our proposal,” Allen said, “is the first down-payment to finally returning lottery profits to localities.” WHIRLPOOL AUTOMATIC WASHER — -- Whirlpool Washer Model LLR6144BQ • Lorqe Capacity for Family-Size Wash Loads Flexibility • 6 Automatic Cycles ^ • 4 Wash/Rinse Water Temperature Combinations l • 4 Woter Level Selections ^ • Single Wash & Spin Speed • Double-Duty SURGILATOR ’ Agitator Thoroughly Cleans All Fabrics Convenience • MAGIC CLEAN" SeU-Cleaninq Unf Filter -^WEEKEND* > SPECIAL < > $Q7Q00 < Whirlpool* RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, Virginia 703-987-8555 k Entire A Inventory * At Sale - Prices w All This ’95 WRANGLER Sport Aluminum Wheels.

There are 46 children involved in those 24 cases, she said. It is one of the smaller of the programs run out of the department. There are 165 families receiving food stamps and 400 individuals who qualify for Medicaid. There are also 20 children in foster care, some placed outside the county but still the responsibility of the local Social Services Department. That is one of the concerns, Mr. McCarthy said. Talcing away AFDC payments may mean placing more children in foster care, and that is more costly than AFDC. Mr. McCarthy said another concern is that the funds for the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) are being cut and funding may be eliminated entirely, under proposals being debated in Congress. Some people have found jobs through that program of worker training and subsidized employment. If funds for that are cut, it may mean more people qualify for AFDC. The JTPA program is entirely federally run, Mr. McCarthy said. If instead people receiving services under that program become the responsibility of local social services there is a 20 percent local cost share, he said. “My concern is that the numbers may increase, and there will be a local burden. It is impossible to predict the consequences at this level.” The bill approved by the General Assembly limits AFDC payments to a maximum of two years. Recipients are required to work in subsidized, unsubsidized or community service work. Mrs. Leathers said the only way to get more welfare recipients to work is with “intense casework,” She does not see funding for more positions in the bill enacted by the General Assembly. She said many welfare reform proposals have been started and piloted in various parts of the state, but they are underfunded. “They are never setn through, and then they come up with another one,” she said. Mr. McCarthy said, “There is no question welfare needs reform in a variety of areas.” He said there is a ridiculous amount of paperwork required for each program, and often it is redundant. “There is also the legitimate concern that the able bodied should work for the services they receive.” He is concerned that requiring community service of those unable to get jobs may mean an additional burden on the county. He said there are now people doing community service under court orders. They are usually “highly motivated,” he said. “We don’t want poorly motivated, uneducated workers. It could be a substantial management headache. The business sector doesn’t have jobs for this type of worker.” Mrs. Leathers said many of the potential clients for this program have very poor preparation for working. “They don’t even know if they are sick and can’t come in, they should call in sick,” she said. She noted that the lack of public transportation in the county also poses problems for getting people to jobs. The AFDC payment to a mother and one child in Rappahannock County is $207 per month. In addition they qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. Mothers who are themselves minors are expected to live at home and finish school. “T don’t think any of this will do much to discourage teen pregnancy,” Mrs. Leathers said. She said some of these case* aren’t mistakes. I Sometimes girls want to get pregnan|, she said. She does see the requirement that mothers name the fathers cif their children to receive aid as helpful. Currently social services tries to get this information, but there is no penalty to the mother if she refuses tib say. Mr. McCarthy agreed that tl$; reform efforts aren’t likely to redude teen pregnancy. “They aren’t mature enough to make that kind of calculated decision,” he said. They note that Rappahannock does not really have a heavy caseload of AFDC recipients for its population. Mrs. Leathers said there is concern ui other areas that the welfare reform bill may lead to increased homelessness, but said she does not believe that will be a problem ip Rappahannock County. She has received no information from the State Department of Social Services on changes as a result of the state's welfare reform bill. Work requirements are scheduled to begin first in places with low unemployment. That criteria leaves Rappahannock out of the earJi^ stages of implementation. The bill will take effect July 1 or later if the state has problems getting a waiver from the federal government ro begin it. Mrs. Leathers said she understands the frustration that has led !o demands for reform. There ase increasing numbers of young welfaie recipients who feel they are “entitled” to assistance, she said. Her social workers are more comfortable with the idea of welfare as temporary assistance rather than a way of lift:. She agreed that welfare does “build” dependency in its recipients and said she does see cases of second and third generations of mothers receiving welfare. Both expect more effect from the state reform effort than from proposals in Congress. They are chiefly concerned that reforms not make tlje county’s situation and the department’s worse. , ‘ m RAPPAHANNOCK Business & Service Directory - Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space MH ’ BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29,1995 Settle's Grocery and Garage Keep Tradition Autos Still Featured By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock N*wi Staff Writer Settle’s Grocery and Garage in Flint Hill is a business that has grown to include several members of one family. Richard and Ester Settle bought the building in November, 1973 and made it into a grocery store. Both had experience with other grocery stores. Mr. Settle worked previously at Ben Venue Store, and Mrs. Settle had worked at Laurel Mills Store. The Russell family were the original owners of the building, which was built by John G. Russell in 1938. He had a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership called Russell Motor Co. which he ran until he died in 1949. At that time, his sons Emory and Wallace took over the dealership, renamed it Russell Bros., Inc., and ran the business until 1971. Besides the new cars, they sold International trucks. According to Emory Russell, who still lives in Flint Hill but is now retired, they would usually have 10 or 12 new cars and six trucks on the premises at any one time. In the early years of the dealership, when a new car was introduced, they held new car showings, which brought many county residents to the dealership. A small restaurant, run by someone other than the Russell family, was attached to the north side of the building for some of the years the car dealership was in business. Mrs. Settle does the paperwork for the store and works several hours of the week in the store too. Her son Bubby runs the garage and used car and truck business located right next to the store, and Mr. Settle helps with both. He is also a farmer, “a very good farmer,” says Mrs. Settle. She said that farming is his first love. Their daughter Tammy wprked in the store with Mrs. Settle until about three years ago, before moving to Front Royal. Now seven employees, full-time and part-time, put in plenty' of hours each week taking care of the store, with help from all of the Settle family. Mr. and Mrs. Settle lived in the little house next to the store for 18 years, but not long ago moved to their farm on Route 637. “I love living in Flint Hill,” she said. The store opens between 4:30 and 4:45 a.m. with breakfast sandwiches for sale. Mrs. Settle said they get quite a business then, with customers stopping by and then heading off in both directions on U.S. 522 to go to work. “Your customers become your extended family. It is hard work, but the people are the nice part.” In 1990, the Settles changed their gas pumps to Chevron and modernized the operation. Mrs. Settle said they have leak detectors for the gas pumps now. Besides selling gas, they offer kerosene and diesel fuel. They have a big lunch trade, and a deli with a very good selection of fresh sandwiches and salads. They carry Lauder’s fresh homemade salads, which come from Lauder’s Photo courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Emory Russell Many were photographed during a new car showing at Russell Motor Company in 1949. In the back are Buddy Moore, Cecil Cornwell, Ray Nicholson, Elmer Foster, unknown, Pete Dennis, Bill Buntin, Nelson Atkins, Betty Buntin, unknown, Mrs. Pete Dennis and Gaynell Russell. In front are Wallace Russell, Gilbert Dennis, Gee Russell, John Russell III, and Emory Russell.

New Play To Preview Saturday By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer A new play by Julie Portman, "My Sister’s Sister,” will preview at Ki Theatre on April 1 at 8 p.m. The play is subtitled "An Autobiography....of Sorts.” Ms. Portman said that though many artists produce self portraits in their lives, not many theatre people do. She said, “I was not going to do this at all. Some people from Ki Theatre said, ‘Why don’t you do something about your sister and yourself?’ I thought it would be too hard; it seemed like such a challenge. I think 1 can learn from it.” “The challenge,” she said, “is to objectify material that is personal material, material that teaches similar stories, imsges or experiences in other peoples’ lives.” Ms. Portman enjoys performing in Rappahannock County, and plans to have a discussion period after the play. She said that she has found people here to be very important in the process of developing a new play. After the preview, she should have a better sense of w hat works and what does not work. “My Sister’s Sister” is the third and final piece in a trilogy which also includes “Katie Malone” and “How Dad Created the World.” “My Sister’s Sister" is a full length play. Ms. Portman has drawn material from diaries, journals and photo albums for this production. She said it is about “the thoughts and dreams we have and the games we play as kids, the big plans we make and how they all unravel. ‘My Sister’s Sister’ is our last fist fight and our first high school dance; it’s about being a revolutionary in the sixties and going on exotic adventures to India. And it’s about two sisters — one an artist and the other schizophrenic — and the simple understanding it takes to accept each other just the way we are.” Ms. Portman said that she finished the script last August. She and her husband Paul Reisler, who has created the music score for this play, went away in December to work specifically on the play. “We worked on the bare bones structure of the music,” she said. The official opening of “My Sister’s Sister” will be at the Gunston Arts Center in Arlington on April 19, as a part of their Innovators Festival. Tickets for the preview performance at Ki Theatre will be $10 and are available by calling Ki Theatre at 675-1616. 1 , .

She was four, that wiggly and giggly age, and attended a child care day school. One day she came home with a note from her teacher. “Your daughter is a little immature," the teacher wrote. The mother read the note over several times, getting hotter with each reading. Finally, she dashed off a note to the teacher: “If my daughter cannot be immature at four, when can she?" Indeed! Parents and teachers I need to hear the words of Apostle Paul anew: “When I was a child, 1 talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child...” (1 Corinthians 13:11) We need to let children be children; to let them act and react as children. Demanding adult behavior from children denies them their childhood, a phase of life every one must go through, sooner or later. The greatness of the Apostle is perhaps in no small measure traceable to a satisfying childhood in which he was allowed, no doubt encouraged, to be a child. He gave it up to be a man, he said. But one time he WAS UNASHAMEDLY A CHILD.
