That position was originally eliminated in the current budget but restored when students, parents and interested citizens in the community lobbied the supervisors last spring to have the position kept. The teacher handling in-school suspension and drug education and the teacher coordinating drop-out prevention were originally hired with funds from a federal grant. The grant ran out this year, and the School Board struggled with how to continue services: Feeling they had made a commitment to the Board of Supervisors not to continue the positions once they were not covered by the grant, the drop-out coordinator position was eliminated, and grant funds remaining picked up most of the cost for the in-school suspension position. Several people spoke at public hearings in favor of keeping the dropout coordinator, and the Board of' Supervisors amended the school budget so the position could continue to be funded. In the new budget county funds were to pick up a higher portion of the cost of the teacher handling inschool suspension, which is still partly grant funded. The drop-out coordinator’s position was never discussed during deliberations on next year’s budget At Tuesday night’s School Board meeting Dr. Gangel proposed that the teacher handling in-school suspension develop a program of alternative education and a teachers’ aide take over in-school suspension duties. He also proposed that an aide take over inschool suspension/alternative education at the elementary school for a saving of $12,000. He said guidance counselors at the high school could take on more of the work of the drop-out coordinator. . Other cuts to reach the needed $127,404 were $47,368 to be saved by not hiring a teacher and teacher’s aide for pre-school handicapped. Dr. Gangel said it now appears the numSee Schools, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins Candidates Beware The State Board of Elections has been disqualifying signatures from voters signing for candidates to get on the ballot which do not contain the “physical address” of the voter. The Board of Elections no longer accepts rural route box numbers or post office box numbers as addresses, even when people receive their mail with these addresses. Voters signing for candidates must include their “physical address” which is the same as the E-911 address. Rep.

Washington Considers Sewer System, Sperryville Has New Problems with State By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The sewer committee of the Town of Washington met with Charles Swanson, field services engineer with the division of wastewater engineering of the Health Department, last Wednesday to explore the possibility of building a sewer system for the town. The next evening the county’s Water and Sewer Authority learned that the Spenyville sewer plant is again in violation of various requirements of the Department of Environmental Quality and the matter has been referred to the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Auditing. Mr. Swanson described various methods of treating sewage. He said if the town is required to remove phosphorus from its discharge, it could be very expensive. Typical requirements that go with a wastewater discharge permit require treatment to limit biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) and con trol pH. Some plants use ultraviolet instead of chlorination and dechlorination to kill bacteria, he said. He added a fairly typical permit requires readings of 30 for BOD and TSS and a pH of between 6 and 9. Those are the permit requirements for the Sperryville Sewer Plant. “You probably won’t get one that easy,” he told the Town of Washington’s committee. The Sperryville plant was cited for violations of its BOD and TSS limits, for exceeding the chlorine limit and failure to complete sewer system repairs agreed to in the consent order the WSA signed following problems at the plant in 1992. Permit requirements are affected by the size of the stream receiving the discharge and the Chesapeake Bay Act, Mr. Swanson said. Additional standards are being developed to deal with nitrogen and phosphorus. He said that water quality standards for discharge are typically higher than standards for drinking water. “Does that make sense?” committee member Diane Bruce asked. “From the river’s point of view it makes sense,” Mr. Swanson said, adding that was a political question, and as an engineer he doesn’t deal with political decisions. He presented a slide show with examples of treatment ranging from such large plants as Blue Plains in Washington, D C. to small package plants that can serve a single building. He also described alternatives such as artificial wetlands and large septic tanks and drainfields. Spray irrigation is another option, he said. Since there is no discharge, the permit is easy to obtain and violations are virtualy unheard of, he said, but it is usually quite expensive and requires large amounts of land. Members of the WSA speculated that the new enforcement action from DEQ may be based on surges experienced last spring. The WSA agreed to make repairs to the system to reduce inflow and infiltration in the system’s lines that follow heavy rains. Troy Jenkins has made several repairs, and there has been no “hydraulic overloading’’ since last year, member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. Recent rains only increased the flow by a few hundred gallons, he reported. The DEQ wants to have the WSA install a 55,000 equalization basin. WSA members have guessed that might cost as much as $100,000. The DEQ has a revolving loan fund that could be used to finance such an improvement, but WSA members are hoping to avoid such an expense altogether. “The debt service would be another $15,000 we don't have,” Chairman Eugene Leggett said. Authority members expect to meet with representatives of DEQ sometime this week. Mr. Estes reported he had been approached by someone interested in See Sewer, Page A-8 Amissville Resident Helps Out in Oklahoma By CINDY MAHAN Rapp*k*aaock N«n Staff Writer Cathie Shiff returned to Rappahannock last Monday night after spending a week working on the rescue in Oklahoma City. She is a firefighter and paramedic with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue and lives in Amissville. Fairfax County is one of 26 search and rescue teams sanctioned by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). The team from Fairfax flew out of Andrews Air Force base on a C141 transport on Sunday, April 23 and returned the afternoon of May 1. They took 26,000 pounds of equipment and other items with them, enough to sustain them for 72 hours. Once in Oklahoma City, they worked 12-hour shifts, from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., removing rubble from the bombed building. Huge halogen spotlights lit up the site to allow people to work around the clock. They used heavy hammer drills and sledgehammers to break up the pieces of concrete so that cranes could remove them. Sometimes they could see pieces of concrete waving around in the breeze; it was an extremely dangerous operation. Mrs. Shiff said that three or four cranes would be working at once to lift away pieces of concrete. One of them weighed 200,000 pounds, and the workers named it “Mother.” Mrs. Shiff said they could tell what floor of the building they were working on clearing out when they found desk name tags in the rubble. They also found some bodies, and they were usually found near desks, she said. Near the end of their time there, she said that they began finding toys and other items that were part of the day care center. She said that was the hardest part. When the rescue workers returned to their cots at night, they would find little presents and letters of appreciation from school children of Oklahoma City. Mrs. Shiff found a little stuffed animal, a See Shiff, Page A-8 4Mm Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Cathie Shiff is glad to be back in Amissville with one of her horses.

Boykin Sentenced to 20 Years By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last week Circuit Court Judge H. Selwyn Smith sent a strong message to convicted felons who choose to possess firearms and drugs. He sentenced Charles Clifford Boykin, II, 33, of Amissville, to 20 years in the Department of Corrections and fined him $ 10,000. Last month in Rappahannock County Circuit Court, Mr. Boykin pleaded guilty to three felonies: possession of a firearm while being a convicted felon, possession of cocaine, and possession of a firearm while in possession of cocaine. Judge Smith sentenced him to five years each for the firearm charges and 10 years for the drug charge. On the Drug Sentencing Guidelines form in Mr. Boykin’s court file, Judge Smith wrote, “Record and crimes were such that 1 think the public needs to be protected from him.” According to the file, Mr. Boykin had several prior adult convictions. Cigarette Smugglers Arrested By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two Culpeper residents were charged with smuggling contraband into the jail this week.

The charges stem from an incident which occurred at the 211 Quicke Mart last December 31. The malicious wounding charge against him is for injuries sustained by Ernest R. Fletcher, who died in March. Mr. Sisk is charged with attempting to maliciously wound Michael Starks, who was with Mr. Fletcher that night. If found guilty of both charges, Mr, Sisk could be sentenced up to 30 years in the penitentiary, and be fined up to $100,000. His next day in court will be on June 15.

On April 3 of this year, he was convicted of stealing yet another coffeewood tree, which he said was dead and lying on the ground in Washington, D.C. “This shows a lackadaisical attitude towards probation,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. Judge W. Shore Robertson found the conviction in Washington, D.C. to be a violation of his probation, and sentenced him to nine months in the jail and two additional years of supervised probation. Mr. Berry will, however, be allowed work release privileges while he is in jail.

But there is much interest here in this partisan ranger who was such a thorn in the side of the Union Army throughout northern Virginia. This is probably because many from Culpeper and Rappahannock rode with Mosby as volunteers in his behind the lines attacks on unwary Federals. May 6, the Museum of Culpeper History opened an extensive display of Mosby memorabilia. This collection, which includes pictures, letters and other Mosby related materials, won an award *at the Northern Virginia Civil War Show held in Fairfax in April. There are many rare and one-of-a-kind items included. This collection is on temporary loan to the Museum by its owner, O.S. Wood, III. “Chillie” Wood says that the collection will be available for display at the Museum through May. Those interested in this rare Mosby show should corne by the Museum at 140 E. Davis Street, Culpeper, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. any day except Sunday through the end of the month. ^th(3^ountain Company Our Spectacular Plants & Herbs Have Arrived!

Evidently Mr. Estes and School Superintendent David Gangel had discussed the amount that could be cut. It is not clear, however, that Mr. Estes knew exactly what items would be on the chopping block. It is not likely the supervisors would have gone along with the cut if they had known the drop-out coordinator’s positiop would be eliminated. They took enough flack about that position last year, and no previous discussion had indicated the position was in jeopardy. It was also clear that at least one member of the Board of Supervisors did not think cutting funds to replace the roof over the elementary school gymnasium and cafeteria was wise. Mike Massie said he felt including that as a part of routine maintenance was good policy. Those cuts now come back to haunt both boards. While Dr. Gangel has promised to at least partially fund the drop-out position, the work being done by that teacher is ongoing, and not conducive to a half-time schedule. Adolescents can be in crisis at any time of the day and any day of the week. When that happens, it will not work to tell them the person they rely on for help will not be available until tomorrow. The county has experience in what can happen if the schools try to replace a roof while students are in the building. The gym roof is leaking, but water is not yet falling on the floor. What is the point of waiting until not only water but possibly crumbling ceiling material is landing on the floor before replacing the roof. Also Richie Burke, the county’s building official, has confirmed that the last replacement of the roof over the rest of the original elementary school involved substandard work. Replacing the gym roof was to be the first step of a multi-year process of replacing the entire roof, and the rest of the building was to get a peaked roof. If each step is delayed an additional year, it is likely the $41,500 saved will be eaten up by inflation in the cost of the total project even if no further damage results. Uh-oh..Hie Big "M" Day.. A National Dilemma 1 ■ for your garden> mom!" Letters Republicans Helped Kill Allen Budget To the Editor: It appears that the Republicans have not given up on trying to hide what happened in Richmond in this year’s General Assembly session and veto session. Two articles in the April 12 edition of the Rappahannock News by Jay Katzen and Kevin Miller so thoroughly distort what happened in Richmond that one must ask if their authors were even there. These gentlemen claim that the Democrats stopped the Allen budget in Richmond. In the regular session of the General Assembly, did these two gentlemen vote for the Allen budget or not? Jay Katzen did not, because not one Republican in the House of Delegates voted for that budget. How about the Kevin Miller? Out of 17 Republicans in the State Senate, was he one only six Republicans who voted for the Allen budget, or one of the 11 who did not? It is clear from these numbers that the Democrats did not stop the Allen budget by themselves. Indeed the Republicans have a problem here. The Allen budget cut a lot of local services, like county extension agents, 250 police officers, support for public education and meals on wheels for the elderly, all to save a measly $33 a year for each taxpayer. Republicans did not support this budget, because the public was strongly against these cuts. In the veto session the General Assembly comes together to examine the vetoes of bills by the Governor or amendments he may offer. George Allen proposed a new initiative, thoroughly outside the purpose of the veto session, to return lottery money to the localities and shift some budget cuts around. The General Assembly was to examine this budget proposal and vote in it in 48 hours. The Democrats in the General Assembly, recognizing that this was not a serious proposal but something cobbled together at the last minute to give Republicans political cover, gave this proposal the attention it deserved. They ignored it. (Indeed, it seems that this proposal was designed to be ignored. Was it just a coincidence that metropolitan areas like Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Charlottesville, Roanoke and Tidewater — areas of strong Democratic support — were net losers under his proposal? Arlington and Alexandria alone would have seen a net loss of $ 1.1 million in revenue.) The truth is that George Allen proposed a budget that Republicans could not support. No amount of finger pointing or political posturing can hide that fact. The Allen budget would have been a disaster for small localities, and it was defeated with Republican and Democratic help. The next time a Jay Katzen or a Kevin Miller tells you differently, ask him how he voted on the Allen budget. Then observe carefully how that candidate “tap dances” away from the subject. J. KENT REEVE Washington Citizens Not Ostriches To the Editor: I reject your idea that the people who came to the roads meeting came without alternatives, that they came with their heads buried in the sand. I believe every person understood, or was seeking to understand, the implications of the Kellerco study — indeed, that’s why we were there. Over 150 people came to the meeting, but only three had the opportunity to speak. With 147 still to be heard, how can you say nobody had alternatives? Also Just Saying No can work. It worked in Massachusetts when the Federal government wanted to put Route 95 directly through an area heavily inhabited by birds. Citizens said no, and a six lane road ends just before that area. It also worked when residents of a town in southern Pennsylvania did not want an exit into their town off Route 81. The sign on Route 81 reads, “There is no exit here, this town did not want one?’ This belief that “we have no choice in the planning of our futures” will surely ruin us. Many counties take control of their destinies. Because this county is not planning for major growth, why should it plan roadways for major growth? Good local planning can and should override bureaucratic government plans from Richmond and Washington. And finally, encouraging people to bring ideas forward and to become involved in the decision making of this county, will go a long way in Our Rappahannock Heritage «' Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan As their season nears its end dogwood blossoms appear to just float in the air. helping to preserve this wonderful lifestyle we are now blessed to enjoy. Labeling concerned citizens who have not yet been given the chance to speak as “ostriches,” can only result in putting an end to logical and constructive dialog. To the Editor: Rappahannock County is unusual because we enjoy a feeling of community and sense of family. That is a primary reason for those who were born here to have stayed and for those who have left, to come back. It’s a primary reason for living here regardless or origin and for buying and moving here from those other nameless, formless, anonymous places which are a-roar with activity night and day. We’re a county which can still sleep. If we accede to the demands of those who see us as a corridor to get from there to there to there — who would use us as a means to an end — then we’ll lose this unique identity. Nature has given us rare beauty. In the interest of stewardship let us preserve it. Our greatest distinction now stems from our pride in our difference, which other beautiful areas have compromised. Of course we will continue to grow', but slowly, and in an orderly manner, according to our own, not others’ needs, and without becoming a corridor county. Let our neighbors who have the dubious benefits of rapid growth — of industries, commercial enterprises, and unceasing fast food feederies become hosts to the semis. If they choose to alter their lives, they are free to do so, but don’t permit them to inflict corridor status on us. We will plan for our future, — gradually — and effectively. We do not need a character re-make, a physical facelift. We don’t need trashed roads, more noise from rumbling vehicles, large law enforcement staffs to patrol transient activities, cuts, over-passes, clover leaves and underpasses, more lights — to destroy our sense of oneness and our independence. We don’t need anonymity. We do need the freedom to remain Rappahannock. My grandmother used to say, “You can’t compromise with the devil.” But that was a long time ago. Maybe it should have been, “with regional road planners.” HOWARD R. SWA1M Flint Hill Preserve MITZIE YOUNG Washington Staff Team Appreciated To the Editor: The Rappahannock News is fortunate to have a reporter and photographer the likes of Cindy Mahan. Her series on general stores in the county has been enjoyable reading for many subscribers. She was especially kind to us at Hackley’s Store, and we are all grateful to have been included in the series. Having grown up in and around my family’s store, 1 can attest to the unique and special experience it provides. Because general stores, more and more, are becoming a thing of the past, I am particularly pleased that we can share this wonderful tradition with our son, Josh. We realize the constraints of space on a small newspaper, and understand why it is impossible to include every detail in every story, so Ron and I would like to personally recognize and thank our wonderful staff for all they do. Donna Oliver, Nancy Wiles and Kim Fewell, the adults on our staff, go far above the call of duty in every way, treating our store as their own. Stephanie Taylor, a marketing student at CCHS, works energetically four or five days each week through the school’s “early release” program. Our support team is made up of one great group of teen agers: Chris Dodson, Daniel Hitt, Caroline Windmiller and Brock Hodgson. We hope that they know how much we appreciate them all. JANET H. MAKELA Amissville Hosts Thanked To the Editor: The Board of Directors of the Child Care and Learning Center joins me in thanking our nine host couples who graciously opened their homes to 85 guests on last month for the CCLC Country Suppers fundraising event. Because of the generosity and donations from our supporters, we raised over $3,000 to be used for scholarships. Our host couples were Bob and Helen Bridges, Lee and Diana Bird, Peter and 'Margy White, Paul and Beth Gall, Hodge and Kay Miller, Jonathan and Ellen NeillDore, Sid and Margaret Gottlieb, Peter Bair and Victoria Hahn, and Rob and Susan Parrish. Our evening began with an open house/cocktail party at the Child Care and Learning Center, and then progressed on to dinner at nine homes throughout the county. Thank you all so much for making this a memorable and profitable evening! ROSE ANN SHARP Washington Clinic Help Appreciated To the Editor. We are writing to thank, everyone who helped make our recent mission trip to Honduras a success. We traveled for a week in April with the Honduran-American Medical Mission, sponsored by the Catholic Church, to villages in northwest Honduras. There were two pediatricians, an obstetrician/gynecologist, a pharmacist, two general medical doctors, two dentists and two nurses, as well as 15 high school and college students who assisted the medical team and 10 Honduran young people who assisted the team and helped with translating. The areas we visited were quite remote, had no electricity or running water, and had no doctors or nurses in the villages. We set up separate medical clinics for women, men, and children, clinics for dental services, stations for used eyeglass distribution, and set up an on-site pharmacy. We served five different communities in this manner, screening hundreds of people a day who had walked for hours in the hot sun to be seen, diagnosing and treating simple ailments to complicated medical problems. The community we were headquartered in, Urraco Pueblo, has worked hard together over many years to have water and electricity, and through the work of the Honduran-American MedicalMission, has now constructed a modem medical clinic. It is staffed full time by medical personnel, and they are hoping to establish a dental clinic there soon. Future hopes are to have small satellite clinics in some of the far reaching areas, which is so badly needed, due to the long distances form the current clinic and no transportation. People in Honduras are, of course, very poor. Most of the land is owned by American-owned corporations and is used for banana and coconut oil plantations. Wages paid to the workers are shamefully low. We felt privileged to be able to meet these sweet-spirited people and to be able to help relieve their suffering in some small way. We certainly hope to be able to return again. We want to thank especially the following dentists who donated money or supplies to the Mission: Dr. and Mrs. John Helleberg, Dr. Victor Saunders, Dr. Steven Saunders, Dr. Jack Thompson, Dr. Thomas Kangur, Dr. John Reeves, Dr. William King, Dr. Philip Ferlazzo, Dr. Ted Sherwin, Dr. David De Viese and Dr. Charles Manning. If anyone would like further information about this project or would like to make a donation to the work of the clinic of Urraco Pueblo, please contact Barbara or Carol at: P.O. Box 908, Madison, Va. 22727, (any checks sent, payable to Ann Miller, SFCC.) The people really do so much with so little, and any donations would be used for direct assistance, and would go a very long way towards feeding and housing malnourished infants and toddlers at the Urraco Nutrition Site, for medical or dental services and supplies, for basic health education, and so on. BARBARA LAMBERT, D.D.S. CAROL BRATTON, R.N. Madison More Thanks To the Editor: Due to an oversight, several supporters of the 17th Annual Fodderstack 10-K Race were omitted from my earlier “Thank You” Letter. As 1 can’t seem to manage to blame the oversight in question on anyone else, I’ll accept same and impose on the Rappahannock News ’ good will to extend a “corrected Thank You” by adding the Rappahannock National Bank, Luke & Genbach, Roger Batchelder Realty, Merrill Strange and John Baumgardner, to the list of our valued patrons. john McCarthy Washington RCES PTO Celebrates 50 Years To the Editor: County citizens can be very proud and perhaps humbled by the dedication of past volunteer parents and educators. Their vivid example should remain the standard for Rappahannock parents today. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Rappahannock parent and teacher volunteer network, the PTO. All should be thanked and congratulated for year upon year of continuous partnership with the Rappahannock schools. The currentday PTO wishes to do just that. This Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. at the elementary school the PTO will host a “Fifty Year Celebration.” Two guest speakers, refreshments, and some interesting history trivia are all part of the program.

June Brings Second Running Of County Rug Rat Road Rally Get ready for the 1995 Rappahannock Rug-Rat Road Rally and Funfest on Saturday, June 3. The Rappahannock Rug-Rat Road Rally is a gimmick rally — a kind of scavenger-hunt on wheels. It is a family-oriented, timed, leisurely drive through the scenic Rappahannock countryside where participants follow clues and answer questions about the route they are passing through. Prizes, which have been donated by local merchants, establishments and individuals, are awarded to those who answer the most questions correctly and who complete the drive in the time closest to the estimated time. Some of the prizes are a case of wine from Farfelu Vineyard, a pitcher and basin from That Sperryville Emporium, dinner for two at The Inn at Little Washington, High on the Hog, and the Bleu Rock Inn, lunch for two at 4 & 20 Blackbirds, pizza from the Appetite Repair Shot, ice cream certificates from the Country Cafe, gift certificates from Hillsdale, Ben Venue Market, Settles, Flint Hill Nature Camp Has Openings By ROBIN PURNELL Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Natural History Daycamp wants to remind all curious naturalists that we still have openings in our second session from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 10-14. Although our regular, two-week session is full, we are offering three new courses for the older camper ages 10 and up. Two courses are open for enrollment, “Salamanders and other amphibians” and “Mountain Ecology.” Peter A. Kramer, son of renowned furniture maker Peter Kramer, has recently earned his master’s degree in herpetology from Marshall University. Peter will guide campers into the dark, damp world of salamanders. The Shenandoah region has more varieties of these fascinating creatures than any area in the world. Identification, habitat comparison and lifestyle will be observed and recorded. This is a wonderful opportunity to study with an expert. Lyt Wood, local arborist and naturalist, will lead a course on “Mountain Ecology.” Any person interested in studying the local flora and fauna will have a unique opportunity to spend a week in the woods with Lyt. A teacher of adult courses at the Nature Camp at Vesuvius, Va. and as a longtime teacher and leader at Rappahannock Natural History Day Camp, Lyt’s knowledge of bird calls, trees, insects and mammals brings a wealth of knowledge to this course.

The Rally will be followed by a Family Funfest complete with food, games, swimming, fishing and wagon rides. Rally prizes will be awarded at the Funfest. Although Rally participation is encouraged, you do not have to be a Rally participant to attend the Funfest. The Funfest starts at noOn at the beautiful nearby Mountain Green Farm. Directions to the farm can be obtained at the Rally Registration site. The proceeds for the rally and Funfest benefit the Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC) in Washington. CCLC is a non-profit organization dedicated to the care of children in Rappahannock County and the surrounding communities. The center offers invaluable services in building socialization and learning skills in a nurturing environment. Although the Center receives a large amount of its funding through student tuition and grants, the remaining $32,000 is made up through donations and fundraisers, such as the Road Rally and Funfest. Through the financial and volunteer support of the community CCLC is able to maintain a level of excellence. Rally registration is from 9 to 10 a.m. at CCLC on U.S. 211. Rally tickets, which cover the rally entrance and two Funfest lunches, are $15 for a pair. Additional lunches can be purchased at the Funfest for $5 for adults and $3 for those 10 and under. Snacks will also be available for purchase at the registration site and the Funfest. To pre-register for the rally send registration slip with a check to CCLC Road Rally c/o CCLC, P.O. 520, Washington, Va. 22747. Checks should be made out to CCLC.

Girl Scouts Finish Year, Plan Next By SARAH BROWN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Rappahannock Girl Scouts of the Virginia Girl Scout Council held their first Mother-Daughter cookout at the Rappahannock County Park on Saturday, May 6. Approximately 72 mothers and daughters and a few grandmothers and siblings enjoyed a covered dish cookout with hamburgers and hot dogs. A special thank you to Janice Wilson and Amanda Brown of Cadet Troop 402 for making corsages of rosebuds for all the mothers. Girl Scout leaders Karen Alexander, Sally Havstead, Edie Clark, Ginger Estes and I operated the grills. Opening ceremony was conducted by Diana Corbin’s troop with a brief and creative history of the flag after honoring both the United States flag and the Girl Scout flag and reciting a poem. After everyone was mildly stuffed and getting a chill form the evening air, door prizes were awarded. We are already planning camping trips, Father-Daughter activities and special events for next year. Mother’s Day Sale 39.99 JUNIOR DENIM AND CHALLIS DRESS BY MS. APPAREL.

School Starts on August 28 ' Public schools will begin next year on Monday August 28 with early release at 2 p.m. This will be the first time in many years that school has started before Labor Day. In the past county schools fre•quently started before Labor Day, but fhe General Assembly passed a law ^forbidding schools from starting before Labor Day, with few exceptions. The law was intended primarily •to keep the teen-aged labor force ‘employed at theme parks in the state 'through the Labor Day weekend. I As the years went by more and Jnore exceptions were written into the law. Rappahannock County became eligible for the earlier start in the coming year because the other three School systems that participate in the George Washington Carver-Piedmont ^Technical Center (Madison, Culpeper and Orange counties) qualified for an early start based on the number of days missed for bad weather in recent years. Without having to qualify separately Rappahannock schools could join these schools. Another inservice is scheduled for Wednesday November 22, giving students a five day break for Thankgiving. Christmas vacation will run from 2 p.m. Thursday, December 21 through January 2, with school resuming Wednesday, January 3. Spring vacation is scheduled for April 5 through April 8 with the next week April 9 through 15 listed as snow days. If all these days are not needed to make up for days missed for bad weather, they may be added to the spring vacation. Thursday June 6 is scheduled as the last day of school with early release at 11 a.m. High school graduation is scheduled for Saturday June 8. All Sports Teams Achieve Some Success By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahanaotk N«wi SUIT Writers The RCHS soccer team added two more wins to their season last week, and remained undefeated at home. They defeated Quantico 2-0 on Wednesday. Eddie Sause and Mike Letsen earned the two goals for RCHS. “It was a good competitive game,” said Coach Uli Maeyer. On Thursday, they beat Clarke County 5-0. Goals were scored by Yoshio Korenaga, Mike Wolfe, Willie Shanks and two by Jim Clark. Coach Maeyer said he was able to play everyone on the bench, and that everyone did a good job. “I saw some good things happening out there,” he said. Coach Maeyer said that this is the first year that Clarke County has had a varsity soccer team. During the first half, Mike Switzer suffered a bad hit which knocked one of his back teeth out of line. At the time, some people thought that he may have broken his jaw. This week, he’s back in the game. The team is scheduled to play at Brentsville this Thursday and at Clarke County on Tuesday. The last home game will be on May 18 against Brentsville. The Bull Run District track meet will take place at the Clarke County Middle School in Berryville this Thursday, beginning at 3 p.m. According to track coach Dave van de Graaff, the field events and preliminary races are scheduled to happen between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. The running events should start around 5 p.m. He expects the meet to last until about 8:30 p.m. Following are the members of the track team who will be representing RCHS at the district meet, along with the events they are entered in and their best distance, height or time for that event this season: BOYS: Jason Carter, Shot Put (36’2”), Discus (90’), 100m dash (12.47), 200m dash (25.16).

The baseball and softball teams each added one win and one loss to their records in the past week. In away games at Clarke County Thursday, the baseball team lost a close game. The Clarke Eagles got out to a 2 to 0 start with both runs scored as a result of errors. The Panthers tied the score in the fourth inning on a home run by Paul Brown and an RBI single by Adam Bouffard. Rapp went up 3 to 2 on a Jon Digges home run in the sixth, but Clarke tied the score, and then won in the seventh on a squeeze plan that scored a runner from third base. Willie Eastham pitched the whole game giving up six hits and walking four. Coach Gochenour said he was very pleased with Willie’s pitching. “We played well, but they just played a little better and did what they needed to,” he said. Meanwhile the girls’ softball team defeated Clarke 8 to 4. Clarke got out to a first inning 1-0 lead and led 3-1 in the third. Clarke added a run in the fourth; but the Panther squad added .three more and the inning ended with Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan R.J.

On Monday the teams played home games against Manassas Park that were rescheduled from last Tuesday. ■* This time the girls lost 14 to 2. Manassas Park players were getting solid hits off high pitches, and Panther batters were not connecting effectively. Susan Jewell had a home run. i However the baseball team put on quite a show. The Panthers led 4 to 3 at the end of the sixth inning, but Manassas Park scored in the top of the seventh, and the game went into extra innings. Both teams added a run in the eighth inning, and played two more scoreless innings. With darkness coming on, referees decided to see if one more inning would settle the issue. Jason Brown led off the bottom of the inning with a single, and then managed to get to third on a pitcher’s error. Another error allowed him to score the winning run. Coach Gochenour was especially pleased because Manassas Park beat Rappahannock in a game earlier in the season 18 to 0. Jon Digges pitched for nine innings giving up five runs on 10 hits with 13 strike outs. “He pitched excellent, but he didn’t get the win,” the coach said. Willie Eastham came in in relief in the 10th inning and pitched two innings of no-hit ball and got credit for the win. James Eastham and Paul Brown led the hitting with three hits each. ^ • WCDS Lacrossej Evens Record Following a come-from-behind ^7 to 6 victory over Blue Ridge School Monday, Wakefield Country Day School’s boys’ lacrosse team has a-5 and 5 record. ■ According to Coach Fred Chandler, following a first half when the Owls trailed 5 to 3 and were plagued by sloppy groundball play, they were able to settle down and gift off good shots in the second half.

Defense Force Is True Militia The recent bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City has prompted an official memorandum from Major General Robert C. Dechert, Commanding General of the Virginia Defense Force, to all VADF commanders. In the memorandum, MG Dechert expressed his concern that confusion has arisen regarding organized state defense forces like the VADF, and “self-styled civilian militias” which may have been involved in the bombing. While politically-motivated "militias” are relatively new, volunteer defense or protective forces have existed for many years in most states. During the 1980s, many states — including Virginia — found it neces sarv to re-establish their volunteer defense forces. In the face of overall military, downsizing, governors recognized the need for a trained, volunteer military organization that could fill in for the state National Guard, should it be federalized and called to serve outside the state. Under this scenario/the duties of a state defense force would include securing local National Guard armories, assisting guardsmen’s families, and working with local emergency or law enforcement agencies, if so directed. In contrast with “civilian militias,” all VADF units must comply with the Department of Military Affairs regulations, which cover all aspects of VADF operations. In addition, VADF personnel can appear in uniform only when participating in authorized training, or while under emergency orders. “There is a group claiming to be part of the ‘Militia Movement’ in our state. This self-styled ‘Virginia Citizens Militia’ is not recognized by the Commonwealth, has no connection with the Department of Military Affairs and the National Guard, and is in no way connected with the Virginia Defense Force.” MG Dechert described the role of the VADF, reminding commanders that “as members of the legitimate Militia, we should be proud of our heritage and of the word Militia as a title for the Commonwealth’s citizen soldiers.” ► Shiff From Page A-l puppy, on her pillow one night. One *,!* of the letters she received was from Brittany, age 6. It read, “Thank you for helping the people in the building. Thank you for working for the people. You art1 very very brave.” This letter was written in the child’s own handwriting and was attached to a beautifully colored butterfly, also made by the little girl. Another letter came from Michael. It said, “I hope you send a card back. I hope you try again. Thank you for everything you did. You tried to save everybody’s life. 1 appreciate it." Mrs. Shiff said, “How anyone . survived the blast is beyond us.” She said that a man who lives 16 miles from the building which was bombed felt the force of the blast at his house. The force was such that it sucked all the louvered vents out from around the edge of his basement. At least 19 other buildings downtown will have to be demolished because of structural damage. There were deaths in other buildings too, and broken glass was found 10 or 12 blocks from the downtown area. “The support of the people from Oklahoma City was absolutely incredible. They really got together and battled this through volunteer work,” she said. She added, “When you are there you are so focussed on it that your real life seems like a figment of your imagination.” The first thing she did when she got home on Monday evening was to take a walk around her.yard, though it was almost dark, looking at the flowers and trees. “It was nice to get back,” she said. Mrs. Shiff lives in Amissville at Wit’s End Farm with her husband and several dogs, cats and horses.

He said he did not attempt to speak for the WSA, but speaking for himself, he said he would not favor providing sewer service for such a subdivision unless the developer himself pays to double the plant’s capacity. “I told him I don’t think he people of Sperryville should'subsidize that,” he said. Member Carson Johnson said, “We need to keep a close eye on our capacity, what we are obligated to within the present area of the plant. All indications are we are getting mighty close. With subdivisions of this type the only thing we can do it say ‘no we do not have the capacity.’ It becomes their problem. They can’t build in a flood plain.” Mr. Estes also reported, on Mr. Jenkins advice, he had turned down sewer pipes installed for Larry Dodson’s subdivision in Sperryville. He said the pipe did not meet specifications as suitable for pressurized effluent. He received WSA approval for having Mr. Jenkins draft a list of requirements to give to contractors specifying what is needed and for having Mr. Jenkins install the pumps and electrical hookups and do the inspections.

However, he noted the supervisors had agreed to add to the budget to fund the positions if that becomes necessary during the school year. Another $41,500 is to be saved by not scheduling the roof over the elementary school gym and cafeteria for replacement. Dr. Gangel said the supervisors indicated they would consider adding funds for that if it becomes necessary. That was to be the first part of replacing the roof Over the entire original part of the school. Other sections would have been replaced in future years with a peaked roof. Additional savings were to come from using one of the mechanics to drive one of the runs to Piedmont Technical School. None of the other cuts caused much controversy, but School Board members were reluctant to eliminate the drop-out coordinator position. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole was especially vehement, suggesting many maintenance items that could be cut instead. Dr. Tole had been instrumental in building up maintenance in the proposed budget, but he said, “In my judgment this has enormous influence. It had tremendous community support, and there is still enormous support. I am absolutely opposed. If our objective is to give the children our best, we should not remove that.” He suggested funds for repair of heating, electrical and mechanical items be cut and the gym floor not be refinished this year. He also suggested the fence around the high school sewage treatment plant be covered by bond funds. Other School Board members Bryant Lee and Beverly Massie also spoke in support of keeping the position at least half time, and Dr. Gangel said he thought he could find the funds to pay for the position at least half time, but he would not know about further-funding for the position until other'staff is hired for the coming school year. The board approved Dr. Gangel’s recommended cuts with the understanding that the drop-out coordinator’s position would be funded at least half time, and efforts would be made later to find funding to increase the position to full time. The board heard a presentation by Paul Paratore and Jon Heddleston on introducing wrestling to the school. Mr. Paratore said he was asking only for approval to try to raise money to buy a mat for next year. He said he had between six and ten children participating in a youth program at Culpeper, but is sure that would grow if it could be in Rappahannock. He said that for the 1996-97 school year he hopes to add wrestling as a junior varsity sport with varsity added two years later. Dr. Gangel presented several suggestions for work on the six-year plan under “future visions.” He said the state will restrict student and teacher access to E-mail through the Virginia PEN. He said he hopes to explore grants for providing internet access. He also said he wants to explore having a technical education center at the high school and relying on . Piedmont only for specialized programs. Future plans also include redoing the high school earth science lab, replacing the roof at the elementary school, working on the program in the upper elementary grades to offer more exploratory activities, and developing an alternative education program.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MAY 10,1995 mmm. By CINDY MAHAN , Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Tai Chi Chuan is becoming more popular all the time, and is taught locally by Kathleen Maier. Tai Chi Chuan, also spelled Taijiquan, is many things. It is an exercise which promotes the body and mind working together. It helps the body maintain balance, improves circulation and strengthens joints and muscles. The movements are graceful and deliberate, and develop flexibility, energy, and stimulate the internal organs, Ms. Maier says. Serenity and self-control can also be gained through the movements of Tai Chi Chuan. Ms. Maier, who lives in Flint Hill, teaches Tai Chi as a health meditation exercise. Her classes start off with several warm-up exercises. She has the class focus on breathing and performing very simple balancing exercises. “It is a meditation in movement,” says Ms. Maier. Tai Chi is also known as a “soft” martial art. Many of the movements are the same as those used in other martial arts; it look like a martial art in slow motion. It is more of a meditative exercise than one in which there is an opponent. One thing learned in the class is yielding, which enables a weaker person to deal with a stronger person. It is composed of five principles. The first principle is relaxation. Next comes rooting, in which your feet feel they are rooted in the earth, “and you are feeling the full weight down through your feet,” said Ms. Maier. The third principle deals with yin and yang, which, says Ms. Maier, is part of the balance and part of the exercise. “The Tai Chi form is devised so that every organ in the body gets exercised. It is a whole body toning program,” she said. Principle four is “turning the waist.” Ms. Maier explained that the Chinese feel that a person’s center is in your “Tantien,” located about two inches below the umbilicus (navel). By turning the waist, the center of the body is strengthened. “Beautiful ladies’ hands” is the fifth principle. Ms. Maier says it teaches grace and relaxation. When students have this image in their mind, their movements will be more delicate, said Ms. Maier. She said that all ages practice Tai Chi, but that it is especially good for older people because it helps with balance and agility and therefore helps prevent falls. It is taught in several nursing homes and Ms. Maier hopes to have more senior citizens sign up for her class. The classes are held on Mondays from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Students are welcome to come once or twice a week for the same price, which is $45 a month, or $35 for seniors and students. New students are welcome to sign up any time during the month of May.

Next Weekend Brings School's 'Menagerie' Student Art Displayed Both Nights On May 19 and 20 RCHS students will perform Tennessee Williams’ classic drama The Glass Menagerie at 7:30 p.m. in the RCHS auditorium. First performed on Broadway in 1945, the semi-autobiographical drama highlights the bittersweet struggles of a fractured American family during the 1930s. Deserted by her philandering husband, the mantronly Amanda Wingfield struggles to sustain her family with little more than her steely, southern tenacity. Becky Gallegos plays the aging southern belle who has not yet come to terms with her disappointed hopes and dreams. Her inability to let go of her girlhood days in Blue Mountain forms one of the central conflicts of the play. Supporting the family is her son Tom Wingfield, an aspiring writer who feels trapped by his job at a warehouse and by his stifling and overbearing mother. Andrew Van Horn plays the frustrated son who spends his spare moments writing poetry on the backs of shoe boxes and longing to join the merchant marines. The tragic heroine of the play is Amanda’s crippled daughter, Laura, who escapes her family struggles by playing with her menagerie of glass animals. Life for Laura, performed by Amy Hathaway, is permanently altered by an unexpected visit from and unlikely suitor name Jim, performed by Derek Daczewitz. Jim’s brief encounter with the Wingfield family leads to an unexpected turn of events that will change their lives forever. Williams’ innovative staging caused a stir when The Glass Menagerie first debuted. His use of music, lighting, an on-stage screen, and a transparent curtain behind which actors sometimes performed enhanced the theme of memory which dominates the play. RCHS students have arranged a new score for the play in an attempt to capture the mood of Williams’ original performance. Full of tender moments and much laughter, The Glass Menagerie promises entertainment for all. Tickets will be available at the door. Student art work will also be displayed in the commons room both evenings. Refreshments will be sold at intermission.

Rabbi Carla To Read Poetry At Theatre in Washington Freeman Trio Included in Program Carla Theodore is giving a poetry reading at The Theater (Little Theatre?) on Saturday evening, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. Her program will consist of original published and unpublished poems, and works in progress, as well as two musical interludes provided by the Freeman Trio, popular gospel singers form the Promise Land Baptist Church. Carla Theodore is a published poet, playwright and novelist. Her poetry chapbooks Rural Water and Peter and the Guru and her novel, Somebody’s Brother, are available in our library. Many Rappahannock citizens will remember her poetic drama, Next Year Jerusalem, which she produced at the Theatre in 1982. She has also served as Poet-in-the-Schools in Richmond and in Rappahannock County. Before coming to the county with her three daughters in 1970 Rabbi Theodore had a checkered career as economist, labor organizer, educator, and writer. Here she started an intentional community and Summerhillian school known as Nethers Community School. Her three daughters, Rachel, Erica and Sandra, after graduating from NCS went on to become respectively a writer, a pediatrician, and a psychotherapist. In 1985, as a senior citize.. md knowing little if anything about Judaism, Carla Theodore entered the Jewish Theological Seminary of New York City. In 1992, shortly before her 70th birthday, she was ordained as a Rabbi — the oldest Rabbi ever to be newly ordained by the Conservative Movement. Upon returning to the county Rabbi Theodore started the Havura Ktana, which is a friendship circle for Jews and their friends seeking to explore and deepen their relationship to Judaism. Her primary Rabbinic and human mission she defines as working to save and to improve life on planet earth. Towards this end she is working, as Executive Director, for Witnesses for a Sustainable Economy. As poet, social activist, educator and rabbi, Ms. Theodore explains that to become a rabbi does not mean to cease being a poet. “I love opening the poetry door to others,” she explains, “and I hope that people who have never been to a poetry reading as well as fellow poets and people who love poetry will come to my reading. Admission will be S6. . Sharing the program with Rabbi Theodore will be the talented Gospel Singers of the Freeman Trio: James Freeman Jr., Dexter B. Freeman and Marsha Freeman who are well known and widely sought after by churches in a wide area around the County. For further information call 9878813.

The concert starts at 8 p.m. and will conclude with an informal reception/discussion with O’Hara.

He has a sense of humor, quick changes of mood, and a degree of physical risk-taking not often seen in modern dance. In this concert he will also be taking another kind of risk: one. of the dances is a structured improvisation, which means that O’Hara will be making movement choices as he goes along within certain parameters.” This concert includes “someone” an intriguing work of renowned modem dance pioneer Daniel Nagrin, being partially set and partially improvised on the / spot. Virginia-based choreographer Kate Trammell contributes humor and a whirlwind of crazy moves in “Stolen Goods.” The program ends with a longer multimedia work by O’Hara and photographic artist Corrine Martin entitled “Polaroid Heart.” O’Hara has been performing his solo concert throughout Virginia as part of the Virginia Commission for the Arts Touring Directory, which is co-sponsoring this performance with the Workspace for Choreographers, His performing, juggled with his current position as Coordinator of Dance at James Madison University, has taken him to Portugal, (under a Fulbright Fellowship), Poland, Germany, D.C., Philadelphia, and Birmingham.

Warmth, sustenance, and the softness of loving arms were only a heartbeat away. As we became young children, you were perfection personified the queen of our world. A kiss erased the pain of a skinned knee or hurt feelings. Shelter was your arms. During the teen years, your queenly crown tilted precariously. You became our “critic.” "Your “This Is four Life” room is a pigsty!”... “That phone must be glued to your ear!” What’s happened to Mom? However, college gave us a new perspective as you again became our rescuer. Goodies and loving letters (with enclosed check) proved your crown was on straight. Thank goodness! Finally, we launched lives of our own. You became our confidant and advisor as we began jobs and raised families. Again we were babes in a new world, and you were there. Mom, life has come full circle. You played many roles with little rehearsal, but you were always right on cue. Today, you take center stage. Congratulations... and Happy Mother's Day!

Rhubarb Is In Season By HELEN SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economies Rhubarb is a spring vegetable that is often called pie plant because making it into pies or tarts are popular ways to prepare it. If you have an abundance in your garden it is easy to freeze. To freeze, select stalks that are crisp, tender and well colored with red. Early spring cuttings are best for freezing.

The training of volunteer will consist of five, three hour sessions beginning Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m., May 19 at the Orange Extension Office, 155 Newtown Street, Orange. Training topics enable counselors to assist families in managing credit, analyzing insurance coverage, budgeting and record keeping. They are taught counseling techniques and made aware of available community resources. Counselors are given case studies to solve throughout the training. In addition, they study the required handbook and become familiar with various work sheets that they will be using with client families. Clients are referred from a variety of places and may come from your work experience. An in-service is given at least once a year. Counselors have a chance to put into practice the financial management techniques they learn at the training. The Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent acts as consultant to the counselor, and requests for counseling are made through the Extension Office.

Almanack Predictions for May May according to the Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack should bring us “average” precipitation and “above average” temperatures. Weather Watch: May seems more like April. Storms for (12,13), with fair, warm days (14,15). However, severe storms are foreseen for (1618), but (19,20) should be fair, very warm. Again, it’s storms (21,22), followed by the 3 Hs hazy, hot humid days (23-25). There’ll be more showers, storms (26-29), but (29,30) should be fair, very warm. Tornado Watch: No activity forecast in our area during the month. Full Moon: Occurs on the 14th at 4:49 p.m. DST and is known as the Flower Moon by most, the Planting Moon, by others, or even the Milk Moon. Special days: Welcome May by presenting a May Basket filled with spring flowers such as snow drops and violets to special friends. Honor your Mother on her day, the second Sunday in the month, the 14th. Enjoy the long weekend on the 29th as we celebrate Memorial Day. In the garden: With warmer temperatures it’s gardening time, though frequent precipitation throughout the month may keep the soil from drying out sufficiently to do any serious planting. Wait till the soil is drier before seeding annuals. Raised beds offer drier and warmer soil earlier than in traditional beds. J. Gruber’s Though for Today’s Living: “We hold our planet Earth in trust for those who will follow.

Annuals Bring Instant Magic To Your Garden By DIANE RELF Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Bedding plants are ready when you buy them — ready to be added to your flower beds, ready to be potted into containers to decorate your deck or patio, and ready to grow and bloom until frost. To make the most of these vigorous, young plants, it pays for the gardener, to be ready too. Before heading to the garden center to buy annuals or perennials, have the flower beds and hanging baskets or other containers prepared to receive the flowers. Get Soil Ready Before Bringing Plants Home First, refresh the soil in your garden. Your annuals w ill flourish if you spade in some compost and a complete fertilizer like 5-10-10. Rake the area until it’s relatively smooth. If you plan to garden in containers, have clean pots, barrels, or baskets, plus a generous supply of potting soil. Buy a high-quality commercial mix or prepare your own from one-third perlite, compost or peat, and * % rich, loose, garden loam. Avoid using clay as a potting soil component. Select plants carefully. You can buy everything from snapdragons, zinnias, and marigolds that will ultimately be three feet tall to tiny varieties that will never be more than six inches tall. Bedding plant labels provide lots of information, so be sure to read them and see if the plants you're considering need sun or shade, will be large of small, and are the color you intended to use. Ask garden center personnel if you are unsure of the appropriateness of the plants for your sites. Once you have purchased trays or flats of bedding plants, give them a generous dose of tender loving care. This care begins when you put the plants in your car. Treat your new annuals like a carton of ice cream — make them your last purchase before heading home. “Cooking” in the care is no better for plants than it is for frozen desserts. Be Sure Seedlings Don’t Dry Out Once home, protect the seedlings until you are ready to plant them. Place them in a shady spot and water if necessary. The trick is to be sure the plants never dry out. One hot day of neglect cari result in dead, damaged or stunted plants. Most bedding plants are sold in plastic cell packs or trays in which each small plant has its own separate mini-pot or cell. When removing a seedling from the cell pack, don’t tug it out by its top. Push the root ball our by pressing on the bottom and sides of the individual cell. Watering the seedling a few hours before you transplant them will aid in getting them out of the container, and help them recover faster from transplant stress. Put your plants into the garden as quickly as possible, preferably on a calm, cloudy day. Water the plants thoroughly. Applying a very dilute solution of a water-soluble fertilizer (about 1/4 of the rate recommended for mature plants) will get the new' plants off to a good start. Protect Newest Plants From Hot Sun If you must plant on a sunny day, plant, mis't, water and them protect your newest plants from the sun by shading them. Use inverted strawberry baskets, cardboard, a board elevated on bricks — anything to shade the plants for the first few days. With appropriate care, your bedding plants will quickly re-establish themselves and reward you with color, beauty, and fragrance until frost.

Safe Food Handling For the Occassional Quantity Cook By HELEN SMITH Extension Agent. Home Economics Occasional Quantity Cooks are volunteers who prepare, serve or handle food at any event. These can be once a year such as a community festival or for a fund-raising event such as a pancake breakfast or spaghetti dinner. There is a lot to learn about safe food preparation and handling. If you don’t work for a commercial restaurant you may not be aware of all the special techniques involved in cooking for a large group of people. It’s scary to think about people getting sick from your meal, but it can happen. Foodbourne illness strikes Americans more than 12 million times a year! More than three-quarters of the outbreaks are blamed on food eaten outside the home. The Extension Home Economists in P.D. 9 will be teaching a class on Safe Food Handling for the Occasional Quantity Cook this spring. Class will be held at the Fauquier Extension Office from 7-9:30 p.m. on May 11. Additional classes can be scheduled in Rappahannock, Madison and Orange counties upon request. The workshops will cover the following: Planning and Purchasing Supplies, Storage of Food, Preparing and Serving, Handling Leftovers and Health Department Regulations for the Temporary Food Event. For more information and to register, call the Extension Office at 6753619.
