There was little questioning of budget items. Instead debate centered on how to fund the requests. The $10.35 million budget will be advertised with a smorgasbord of taxes with the idea that not all will be passed. If all were approved about Si50,000 more would be raised than is needed for a bal lanced budget. The advertised real estate tax rate will be 73 cents, a four-cent increase. A four-cent fire tax will also be proposed. A $2.90 personal property tax rate will be advertised. That same rate has been in effect for several years as real estate tax rates have increased. In addition a 20-cent personal property fire tax will also be included in the advertised tax rates. If the fire taxes are approved, the monies will have to be kept in a separate account, and the real estate tax rate can be reduced. Because the law does not allow the county to adopt any tax higher than it is advertised, the advertised rates will be higher than the supervisors expect to approve. The supervisors are waiting to hear from the public at a public hearing June 5 before deciding whether to support the request of the fire and rescue squads for county monies to cover their operating budgets and/or what taxes to impose to support this increase. A fire tax on real estate is imposed on total assessments and is not reduced because of land use. As a result a one cent fire tax raises about $75,000 compared to about $51,000 for one cent in regular real estate tax. “This proposal leaves all our See Budget, Page A-3 Town Council Gets $123,600 Budget and Controversy By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town Council got its first look at the $123,600 budget for 199596 last week, and debated the wisdom of spending $15,000 on a tractor and brush cutter. The budget anticipated spending $28,000 under capital expenses for machinery and equipment over $200. Treasurer Tom Zumwalt explained that $13,000 would be for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and the rest was intended for the tractor purchase. Member Steve Critzer said the tractor would be used to mow the right-of-way to the water reservoir. Members of the council and the audience questioned this expenditure. Reinhardt Lynch noted that it was 15 percent of the $123,600 budget. Diane Bruce suggested the town would shortly need a four-car garage to house all its equipment. Mr. Critzer estimated the right-of way would have to be mowed about three times each growing season, but said the tractor could also be used for snow removal in winter. He estimated 10 hours for each mowing. Council decided to instead explore contracting to have the mowing done, and to put'part of the savings into an account for future capital needs or major repair work. Fire Chief Roger Roach said the county is considering picking up operating costs for fire departments and so the local fire department was asking the town for funds for capital expenses. He said some of the needs are a shed for equipment storage, a ventilation system because fumes from the diesel engines can become overpowering, enlarging the parking area, replacing tiles on the floor and an EKG monitor for the ambulance. In the past the town has paid the bulk of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s operating expenses. Ed Barton questioned using town funds for this purpose vs hen all town residents are also county residents and would be paying the tax the county charges for covering operating expenses. Council member Ray Gooch, noting that the bulk of the town’s income comes from the meals and lodging tax collected from one business, said the town is “fortunate to have the business” and should share the resources since the town “did not work very hard” to get the business. He said it would be different if town expenses were supported by real estate taxes in addition to county real estate taxes. Mr. Roach said the fire department’s “partnership” with the town has worked well. The fire department offered its land to try to develop a town well, he noted. The department also holds the town’s recycling center. Town residents also receive the primary benefit from the fire department because their closeness means they will get the quickest response.

With Chairman Absent Architecture Board Has Conflict Free Meeting By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Last week’s Architectural Review Board (ARfe) meeting was chaired by Ed Barton, as Chairman Donna Kevis was not able to be present for the meeting and asked him to sit in for her. Many who had come anticipating a further fireworks between Mrs. Kevis and applicant Fran Eldred were somewhat nonplussed. At last month’s meeting Mrs. Eldred complained vociferously about Mrs. Kevis’s management of the board as its chairman. ARB members present at the meeting along with Mr. Barton were Patrick O’Connell, Charlie Eldred and Dwight Matthews. They agreed that it would be a good idea to set up a work session with Town Attorney Frank Reynolds to go over the Historic District Ordinance and conflict-of-interest law. A notice of the work session will be published in the newspaper. Mr. Barton said that at the Town Council meeting the night prior to the ARB meeting a question was raised about the desirability of the town attorney attending one or two ARB meetings. Ray Gooch, a town council member who was present at the ARB meeting, said that the Town Council was concerned with reports in the newspaper and things heard around town about the ARB. * Referring to a couple of recent ARB meetings, he said that a mere referral to the ordinance would have told the ARB members what to do about temporary signs, and that fixed mullions (true divided light windows) are not required by the ordinance. He said that he felt the ARB members need some guidance regarding the Virginia conflict of interest statute. “A periodic work session never hurts anybody,” he said. Mr. Barton said he felt it would be a good idea to have the town attorney look over appli ‘A periodic work session never hurts anybody. ’ — Ed Barton cations when they come in and then attend the ARB meeting if he felt it necessary. An application to construct porch railings on her upstairs porch was approved for Mrs. Eldred. Her husband, Charles Eldred, a member of the ARB, did not vote on the application. In the application, she said that the railings will match the original design on the front of the house. Also, the screen porch will be redesigned at the rear of the structure and existing aluminum storm window screens will be replaced. Mary Ann Kuhn, proprietor of the Middleton Inn, received approval to extend the front porch on her house 8 1/2 feet on either side, to match the existing porch, though without a roof. Also, she wants to put an addition on the back of a small building behind her house, which is barely visible from the road. She also plans to add a window to the front of that building. Her application was amended to include these changes to the building. Dwight Matthews did not vote on the application because he had previously done some work for Ms. Kuhn. * Mr. O’Connell said that he would like the ARB to consider giving an annual award to a town resident who has done a sympathetic change or an excellent restoration. “It might help the board and the community work a little better together,” he said. Mr. Barton agreed that it was a good idea, and said that it should be put on the agenda for the next meeting. Photo courtes> ot James Clark III Jim Clark poses with his entry in the science fair.

Many Exchange Ideas at Road Forum By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer The forum on county roads sponsored by RLEP at the theatre last Thursday was much calmer than the forum hosted by the Board of Supervisors on Monday May 1, but there was still a feeling of frustration. The crowd was far smaller, probably under 100, and everyone had an opportunity to speak. Piedmont Environmental Council President Robert Dennis, Milton Hurd, a planner who authored a response to the Kellerco study, and Chris Miller, an attorney who advised PEC on transportation issues related to the Disney project, were panelists. Attorney Allen Olson moderated. RLEP President Hunt Harris said the purpose of the forum was to begin a “dialog to help assist the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission in planning our future.” Mr. Hurd said reviewing the Comprehensive Plan should be a process in “consensus building.” He said it is important to keep the process open and include all viewpoints. He said people need to be both realistic and creative and take a very long term view. Mr. Dennis said most people in the room were aware of the “costs of growth.” But he said, “Some people make a lot of money off of growth. There are benefits, but a few people share the bulk of the benefits, and we all share the costs.” He said some say the inefficient way urban areas are expanding is reducing America’s competitiveness. He said a survey in Prince William County showed that over half the people there expect to be living somewhere else in five years. “They don’t vote for a long term quality of life.” He said it is important to complete the study of the county’s water supply and people should go beyond trying to control growth with regulation and try voluntary activity such as scenic easements. Douglas Ginsburg asked what rights the county has in influencing highway plans, and just then Mr. the road from Front Royal to discourage truck traffic and perhaps improving Route 729 to make it a major corridor and keep traffic from coming through the heart of the county. Patricia Saltonstall, who lives along Route 729 said a simple “No” to that. Mr. Miller said ultimately the state decides what are truck routes. Ms. Saltonstall said Route 729 should be designated a historic road, 'Some people make a lot of money off of growth. There are benefits, but a few people share the bulk of the benefits, and we all share the costs. ’ —Robert Dennis Miller arrived. He said that plans such as Richard Keller developed for Planning District 9 are required by federal highway laws, but the plans must include public participation. They also must include studies of the effect on air and water quality and such issues as historic and environmental preservation. Mary Jamieson said people in Rappahannock County want to preserve such things as wildflowers along the banks of the roads. “We are unique. I don’t think we should cooperate with developments in other counties,” she said. She suggested using a portable weighing station on since it was the original route to Richmond. Mike Massie, who is chairman of the Planning Commission and a member of the Board of Supervisors, said the process of reviewing the plan began over a year ago, when he sent letters out to many groups in the county asking them to come to. Planning Commission meetings and give input. He said few people have come, and the planners have produced a draft of the first five chapters. He said there will be at least two public hearings before the revised Comprehensive Plan is adopted. He said citizens need to work together to keep the Kellerco plan from happening. Bruce Sloane said Rappahannock County seems to be surrounded by counties that are “pro-growth of any sort. What happens to Rappahannock Counties when the other counties are on a growth binge?” Frank Reynolds agreed that Rappahannock County is going to be surrounded, but he said, “We don’t have a single supervisor in the rape and pillage camp.” He suggested, as he has in the past, that reviewing the Comprehensive Plan should start by having people get together and say what they like about Rappahannock County and want to preserve. Bonnie Lofton said she has been sitting in on the Planning Commission’s discussions of the Comprehensive Plan and has not found that a way “to discuss the general picture.” She suggested getting small groups together in local churches and other organizations. Melinda Alexander said the county should adopt a policy of allowing no roads to be wider than two lanes. She said the economic basis of the county is farming and tourism and four-lane roads are “not conducive” to those activities. Douglas Ginsburg said the county should try to develop a future as a “destination,” neither a bedroom community for other employment centers, nor a corridor cars and trucks pass through. He suggested working on bike paths and trails as part of making the county more of a “destination.” Several more people asked how they could become involved in the revision of the Comprehensive Plan.

College Basketball Promotes Education Recruiting Is 'So Tedious' : By BRIAN WILLIAMS (Editor's Note: On May 1 Brian Williams and Gary Wharton, two sophomores from Rappahannock County High School, traveled to Charlottesville to meet a member of the UVa Cavaliers basketball team. Brian acted as the reporter; Gary's role was to take pictures.) My first thought when I walked into U-Hall: “Where is Chris Alexander?” Then I noticed how big the stadium was and how little the court was. The halls were unpainted and cracked up, but the offices were carpeted and everything in them looked nice. I was standing at the entrance of the gym talking with Gary and a tall man walked through the doors. I knew Chris was six feet nine inches tall from the UVa basketball program. “That’s Chris,” I said to Gary. Chris was wearing a black and white warm-up jacket with black jeans. He passed by heading toward the UVa basketball office, and we stared and then followed him. The parent who had driven us to UHall was shaking Chris’s hand when we walked up. Soon we were introduced to Chris and started the interview. I knew from reading the basketball program that Chris was a senior at UVa and starting center on the Cavaliers. He came from Long Branch, N.J. — that’s just a half-hour drive from New York City. In his high school basketball career he averaged 15.9 points, 12 rebounds, and eight blocked shots a game. Chris also made first team AllDivision and third team All-Shore. I started the interview by asking some personal questions about his hobbies and his family. But the NCAA tournament stood out in my mind; I wondered what it was like to play with the big boys, so 1 quickly moved to the main question on my mind: “Who was your toughest opponent in the NCAA?” “Corliss Williamson (University of Arkansas),” Chris said. “He was actually a lot better than what I anticipated him to be. We did a pretty good job of shutting him down inside. But he was able to go out 10 to 15 feet and knock down jump shots.” His favorite professional basketball team is the Charlotte Hornets because “I like a lot of young teams with players that don’t have it so easy.” Chris said the North Carolina Tar Heels might have a half-dozen All-Americans. It’s no big deal for them to win. “It’s just another banner to hang up on the wall. I like young teams who have to go out and prove < themselves.” That’s the way it is with the Cavaliers, he said. 1 asked him about the difference between high school ball and college ball. “College basketball is harder; the competition is more challenging,” Chris said. “We are used to playing in front of big crowds. Usually about 9,000 people come to see us play. The Andrew L. Stone, O.D. Board Certified Optometric Medicine Family Eye Care State of tbe Art Optometry in a friendly country setting!

Day REALTOR SELLING "AS-IS" Say you've lived in your home for some 20 or 30 years. You are now ready to retire, sell and move to something smaller. However, something happened in the past 20 or 30 years. Home designs and buyers' tastes have changed but your kitchen, bathrooms and perhaps heating and plumbing systems have not. To get full price for your home, you would have to make a major investment and massive renovations or, perhaps, sell "as-is" for a lower market price. Before you make that decision, you or your agent should compare the market advantages of selling the home "as-is" versus partially or completely rehabbed. If you are not in a position financially or don't relish the thought of being inconvenienced, you may actually be in a pretty good selling situation. You may come out money ahead by selling at a lower price for your location after you compare the final selling price against the emotional and dollar cost of improving.

He told me he can’t eat or do work — he turns on the music. He enjoys listening to hip hop and rhythm and blues. If the Cavaliers lose, the loss doesn’t hurt much because they’ll have another shot at winning in a couple days, Chris said. Their last NCAA game with Arkansas was different. The Cavaliers lost, and it hung around for four weeks because there was not another game coming to erase the loss. Chris laughed at this question: How did he get started playing basketball? “I didn’t start playing seriously till I was in the ninth grade.” He said he was pushed to play basketball because of his height. But he told people, “Nah, you don’t have to do anything but breathe and die.” He changed his mind because his parents told him if he got a basketball scholarship, they would buy him a car when he graduated. I asked him about ..i m Photo courtesy of Bonnie Price Lofton UVa center Chris Alexander is flanked by RCHS sophomores Brian Williams and Gary Wharton at U-Hall. sorry for himself, dragging in from the library at 2 a.m., his roommate (Cavaliers small forward/guard Maurice Watkins) wouldn’t give him any sympathy — Watkins, who was studying engineering, had to stay at the library until 4 a.m.! Chris said education is one thing ‘Once you've got $80,000 worth of education in your head, they can 7 take it away from you. ’ — Chris Alexander the college recruiting and he said, “1 got recruited by like a hundred different schools. I despised the whole thing. It’s great that people give you attention, but it’s so tedious.” Chris said he had to read through three boxes of college brochures and had to deal with the coaches calling his house, acting like they were his best friend. He ended up going to UVa because “1 wanted a school where you could combine academics, social life and basketball.” He wanted to go to a NCAA school where there is a large black community.” 1 didn’t want to go somewhere and be the only black person. I didn’t want to be a crusader.” I asked him if he feels comfortable at UVa. “Yeah, I do. It’s not Disneyland. We do have problems. It’s something we have to work on, on a daily basis.” Chris also stated that black students at UVa have government positions. “They have their own little niche; they’re not intimidated.” “Why did you enroll in the school of commerce?” I asked. I had heard that it was one of the toughest schools at UVa. Chris said that the commerce degree will tie him to a job coming out of college if his basketball career doesn’t work out. He talked about the keys to academic success: determination, putting off time with his friends until work is finished, and not giving up when it seems like there is too much to do.

It shows that the situation hasn’t changed enough over the last 40 or 50 years, “The blacks in American society that get the most notoriety or attention are almost always entertainers or athletes.” “Do you think your future lies in basketball?” I asked. “I never had ‘hoop dreams,”’ he said. “I never had dreams of being a superstar. If I go to Europe and play a few years, that would be lovely.” But his main goal is using basketball to help pay for his education. Because he was red-shirted his freshman year, he’ll be back playing for the Cavaliers next year and doing graduate work. “Do black political leaders have a big influence on you?” I asked. He said he liked Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. “A lot of what he (Farrakhan) does has some merit. People may not like one thing he says and just dismiss him, but a lot of things he says make sense — he has some good ideas for our community.” He thinks it’s sad that America is probably getting worse. “Even in the four years I’ve been here, I’ve noticed a greater disparity between people who have a lot of things and people who don’t,” Chris said. He said he would like to practice business in “a responsible and ethical manner,” while getting involved in whatever community he finds himself in. “I’m going to try to help three or four people along the way. If everybody would do that, we’ll get to where we need to be.” After the interview Chris invited Gary an me to see the locker rooms. The first room we came to had three couches with a big-screen TV sitting in an entertainment center. The locker rooms were carpeted with pictures of the players hanging up beside their spaces. The showers had a whirlpool. Then we shot basketball with Chris while someone took pictures. Curtis Staples walked in and started practicing, so we got to shoot hoops with him too. After I got home, I realized that Chris had influenced me: you can’t expect to have fun without work.

The supervisors also debated how to oversee spending on behalf of the fire and rescue squads but reached no decision. The new budget includes $9,000 to begin work on the next general assessment. Most of the work will be done in later years. The assessment is supposed to be in place by the 1998 fiscal year. Most of the department budgets the supervisors discussed Monday evening are not increasing much, and some are actually going down. Included are 2.25 percent increases effective in December for most consituttional officers and their staffs, with additional raises for Sheriff’s deputies. These salaries are set by the General Assembly. County employees whose salaries are not set by state law will have similar 2.25 percent raises. Keep the Shenandoah Clean By using fertilizer and lawn chemicals properly, you can help keep the Shenandoah River and the Chesapeake Bay clean. This helps maintain the quality of Virginia’s waters, and ^ you’ll probably save money in the bargain. Your lawn needs nutrients, but don’t use these chemicals too liberally. If you apply them at the wrong time, just before a storm or when ground is frozen, they could wash off into a nearby waterway or get into groundwater supply. This runoff can harm aquatic life in the bnenancioan and as rar away as the Chesapeake Bay. If you'd like information on how to keep your lawn green and the Chesapeake clean.

Students would acquire the necessary fancy dresses and rent the necessary tuxedos. They would appear at the prom in couples, stay a while, and^hen head off for a night of heavy drinking at private parties. Unlike many proms, Rappahannock County High School’s was not just a senior class event. In essence the junior class raises funds to host a prom for the senior class, and members of both classes and their dates are invited. Through most of the 1980s junior class funds were used for hiring a live band and purchasing materials for decorations. The prom was held in the high school gymnasium. When the new, gymnasium was completed in 1988, the school administration decided it would not be available for dances. The former gymnasium had been converted into a cafeteria (called a commons area) and the auditorium. The junior class was told it could use the commons area or the elementary school gymnasium for the prom. Junior classes tried using the elementary gym for a few years, but they were not happy about the situation; the search was on for another location, and major junior class fundraising had to go into space rental. At the same time groups in the community and school tried to organize alcohol-free after prom activities that could compete successfully with the private drinking parties. For several years proms were held at Fauquier Springs Country Club in Fauquier County, and after prom parties were held at Lakeside Swim Club in Culpeper County. For a variety of reasons this was not entirely successful. This past Saturday night the prom moved to the Bowling Green Country Club South with the after-prom party at Crooked Run Racquet and Fitness Center. Both locations are in Warren County and not far apart. And finally all the pieces fit together and the juniors and seniors participated enthusiastically. Many attendees came as couples, but others came in groups. They stayed for most of the prom, and at the 5 a.m. closing Sunday morning chaperones were shooing RCHS students out of the afterprom party. At the prom students danced to music provided by D. J. Connections until nearly midnight. The after-prom party offered a wide variety of activities from “walleyball” to swimming to tennis, with such activities as bubblegum blowing, hula hoop and limbo contests and even a pin the tail on the donkey game thrown in. There were refreshments galore. Local merchants and businesses had chipped in to provide door prizes and food. Everyone involved is to be congratulated for a job well done. Junior class sponsors Roger Flinchum, Tammy Snyder and Liz Hollie steered their charges toward a plan that worked. After prom •party organizers Susan Fox, July Tole and Kelly Settle deserve particular praise. They have made the junior-senior prom and drug and alcohol-free after prom party “the place to be” for Rappahannock students for one very long night in May.

Letters to the Editor July 4 Policies Explained To the Editor: It seems that there are still some misunderstandings about the upcoming RAAC management of the Fourth of July celebration for the town, so we hope this letter will help. RAAC was pleased to volunteer to manage the Fourth of July celebration for the town when the Fire Department, which has handled it very capably for over 20 years, decided it was time to pass the baton to another community-based organization. RAAC has no funds in surplus to support this effort, and thus must raise money in advance to plan and purchase whatever is needed to make the occasion as fine a one as the town has come to expect. As the Fire Department will attest, there are upfront expenditures for entertainment, publicity, sanitation facilities for thousands of guests, tents and rental of other equipment, signage, postage, and other things that it takes to stage such an event. The fees charged to all vendors, nonprofit organizations as well as individuals, will all go towards these costs, and not to RAAC. We, like other nonprofits on that day, will be selling goods to raise money for RAAC, and we will be sharing in the parking and entry fees which we will manage. RAAC hopes to break even with the Fourth of July event, and will do everything it can to attract large and appreciative crowds to the many vendors and nonprofit organizations which will be with us that day. We would also like to remind individual crafters that we are still looking for artist^ to participate with us on the Fourth, and that application forms for the juried selection process can be obtained from Eileen Day by calling 675-3033. All nonprofit organizations not using their own property and which intend to participate should also contact Eileen so that we can make sure we plan our space properly. Many thanks to all the community for your support. Please watch your mail for an invitation to the RAAC Annual Picnic at Bob And Joan Herrema’s. We look forward to seeing all of you then and a month later at the greatest fourth of them all. BEVERLY ATKINS and ELLEN MAN SON Co-Chairs, Fourth of July Celebration Committee Bomb Threat To the Editor: Unfortunately it has been brought to my attention that crucial budget cuts are still up for review. This event is becoming more frustrating than reassuring. I don’t understand why the superintendent is trying to cut a vit^[ position which ensures students pursue and finish a high school education. This position is the Drop-out Prevention Coordinator, currently occupied by Susan Fox, a seven-year member of the faculty of Rappahannock County High School. Obviously there is no logic behind this proposal. Cutting Drop-out Prevention goes against all responsibilities of our schools. What good are our schools if we have no way of keeping students from dropping out. Susan Fox kept me in school and helped me pursue higher education. To remove her from the system would be like setting a timer on a bomb. You might not feel the effects immediately, but you know what’s going to happen if you don’t have a bomb squad on call to back you up. If the Drop-out Prevention program is cut just remember who is to blame for setting the bomb to ruin students’ lives: Dr. David Gangel. ' JIMMY SISK Amissville Keep* Anti Drop-Out Coordinator To the Editor: Last week’s News reported that, for the second year in a row, the Anti Drop-Out Coordinator’s position was at risk because of budget cuts. Last Spring, the position was restored after strong community support developed for maintaining it. The reasons for retaining the position are as compelling now as they were then. The importance of having at least a high school diploma in today’s world cannot be overemphasized. We live in a society that places great stress on credentials. A high school diploma is therefore a stepping stone, not only to further academic work, but also to better, higher paying jobs. In this sense, a student who drops out of high school is likely to be limited, for a life time, to unskilled, low paid work. It is true that a diligent, well motivated person who has dropped out of high school may make up for his or her educational deficit by obtaining a high school equivalency (GED) certificate. To do so, however, requires hard and sustained work in the face of competing demands of job, family and community. Volunteers at LVA Rappahannock have witnessed the often painful effort which GED candidates must make if they are to be successful. Having worked as a volunteer tutor for a number of years, I consider it essential that everything possible be done to keep our young people in school until they graduate. The cost of the Anti Drcp-Out Coordinator’s position is small in comparison with the substantial benefits to be obtained from maintaining it — benefits that will last a lifetime for the young people concerned. 1 strongly urge that the Supervisors and members of the School Board to do whatever is necessary to continue the work of the Anti Drop-Out Coordinator as the present, full-time level. LEE BIRD Washington A Special Thank You To the Editor: First I would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity to be thankful: to my loving church family at First Baptist, for being thoughtful, supportive and for your many prayers. To all the new friends I have made through the Habitat for Humanity Organization, thank you to all the craftsmen for giving so much of your talents and time from your busy work days toward the “Shanks Project.” May God bless each of you, and on behalf of my family and myself, Thanks again. THE SHANKS FAMILY BARBARA, HERBERT, EDNA, JENNIFER and WILLIAM Washington Dogs Don't Count To the Editor: It appears to me that the slightest scratch or dent inflicted upon any motor vehicle by the driver of another results in the total paralysis of both machines, regardless of inconvenience to other motorists, until a battalion of police and insurance agents has arrived and completed interviews with principals and witnesses, photographed the scene from every angle, and compiled voluminous reports. In the situation of a single vehicle’s collision with a domestic animal, however, with no damage to the machine, but resulting, nonetheless, in the death of the animal, the driver is required only to stop, say something (anything) to whatever witness there might be, and may then proceed. The police are not required even to make an appearance. A certain light-duty, flatbed truck has been travelling the Hawlin Road some months now, drive by a woman, although a man is often is the passenger’s seat. The speed of this vehicle has always been excessive, and I have noticed, at least once, when my dogs have been in the road, that the woman has actually accelerated (as evidenced by sight as well as by the distinct increase in the noise of the engine), making no effort toward avoiding the dogs, and giving the impression, rather, that she wouldn’t mind in the least hitting them. Our two old dogs have always disliked certain vehicles, particularly trucks, and they are apt to chase them, barking their disapproval. Many cars do not offend them, and they are on good terms with certain trucks, as well. These dogs are extremely adept at avoiding contact with the vehicles they pursue. Recently, we took in two abandoned puppies, about six months old, that had been in the neighborhood a week or so, at the time. I took them to the vet for their shots and whatever else might be necessary, rebuilt an old dog house for one, and converted an old, wooden tank for the other. The dogs learnt their new names in a day, and would sit on command shortly thereafter. They were two of the most joyful, entertaining, and affectionate puppies I’ve known. We were now back to four dogs. To my distress, the puppies learnt from the old dogs to chase vehicles. Although they would come when called at almost any other time, the joy of the chase was more than they could resist. Worse, still, they were indiscriminate, and would pursue any vehicle, sometimes inciting the old dogs into chasing a car they wouldn’t have bothered with, before. I hated to do it, but it was clear that the puppies would have to be restrained, except when I could devote my full attention to them. Nonetheless, they had at least two long mns each day, and what fun they had together: chasing each other in circles, sliding and somersaulting in the damp grass. But the sound of a ,. vehicle in the road remained a great worry, although we might be well back on the land, as it was often impossible to call the dogs back until the chase had ended. I was particularly concerned about that flat-bed truck. Earlier this month the woman in the flat-bed truck hit and killed Jolly, the puppy my six-year-old daughter had chosen for her own. Another three minutes and we’d have been well back into the farm, far from the road. We had released the dogs and were headed out, when we heard the truck coming. Jolly died of suffocation as blood from a head wound filled his lungs. There was no saving him I had tried to comfort him, but, terrified and hurt as he was, his defensive instincts kicked in, and he bit me through the hand. I carried him from the road, laid him in the grass, and ran for the telephone. Saturday evening. No vets at their offices. A problem with our vet’s emergency line. “Dr. Burchard of Culpeper is on his w ay to his office,” we were told when his emergency operator called back. But, by then, it was all over. The woman had stopped when she saw my daughter and me run into the road. All I can remember her saving was that she thought we had only two dogs, and had not known about the others. I said that l had been worried for some time about her excessive speed, and had hoped to be able to speak to her about it before it was too late. The man'had gotten out, too, but said nothing that I could hear. They drove off, and left us in the road. The dispatcher, although sympathetic, said she could not send a deputy since the woman had stopped and thereby fulfilled her legal obligation. She could send the dog warden, she said. What I wanted was a police officer with the ability and authority to track down the driver of the flatbed truck and to advise her to drive more slowly and carefully when in proximity of private entrances where there are known to be dogs, and, more importantly, of course, children. The fact that this woman had killed my daughter’s puppy is, apparently, of no consequence in the eyes of the law. Too bad she hadn’t scratched the paint of my car while she was about it! She might have lost her license. JOHN CADWALADER, JR. Woodville

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Willie Shanks will represent RCHS at the regional track meet in Charlottesville in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Four Advance in Track, Soccer Team Loses, Baseball, Softball End By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Km Staff Wrttera Four members of the RC'HS track team will be competing in the regional track meet this Friday. Holly Gangel and Mark Jenkins will both be running the 1600m and 3200m races. Willie Shanks will run the 100m and 200m runs, and Ozzie Villar will compete in the 800m. They all participated in the district meet held at Clarke County last Thursday and qualified to participate in the regional meet. The meet will be held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville all day this Friday. The RCHS soccer team tied one and lost one last week, which puts their overall record for the season at 6-3-2. For the district, their record is 1-2-1. They tied Central last Tuesday in a scoreless game. Coach Uli Maeyer said it was a good game and that RCHS had several chances to score but did not. The game against Brentsville last Thursday was a different story. Coach Maeyer said, “We played as bad in the first half as we could.” After the game, the Brentsville coach told Coach Maeyer, “Uli, that was the best half we ever played,” referring to the first half. Coach Maeyer WCDS Lacrosse Ends With Winning Record The Wakefield Country Day School boys’ lacrosse team finished the season with a victory 7 to 0 over the St. James School B team and a winning record (six wins and five losses). According to Coach Fred Chandler, “Potent offense was fueled by 52 goundballs for the Owls. The shut-out was maintained by goalie Tim Burke and long-sticks Andrew Inglis, Rich Sitorius and Lain Hart.” Scoring for the Owls were Mark and Thad Zimmer with two goals and one assist each, Paul Hansohn with two goals and Yonan Boya with one goal and one assist.

By losing 5-0, it brought the players back to reality, said Coach Maeyer. He said that his team was behind 4-0 after the first half. “I was getting annoyed. We played sloppy defense,” he said. The team was scheduled to play at Clarke County Tuesday, and will host Brentsville this Thursday at 5 p.m. The semi-finals will be played at Brentsville on May 23, and the finals are scheduled to May 26, also at Brentsville.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MAY 17,1995 i -C Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Preparing for a pre-prom banquet at the Armistead home near Sperryville are Luke Zindel and Amy Hathaway, Eddie Sause and Jaimee Hammit, Leo Santos and Katja Valtonen, Mike Switzer and Jessica Arnold and Ryan Armistead and Natalie Counts. Susan Jewell and Jonathan Maeyer were elected king and queen of the prom. By CINDY MAHAN lUppahuimk Nm Staff Writer The 1995 RCHS prom was a thrilling and fun evening for about 150 students. With the theme, “Stairway to Heaven,” it was held at the Bowling Green Country Club South, north of Front Royal, from 8 p.m. to just after midnight. Most people attending the prom first had dinner in a fine restaurant. Paul Brown and his date Keirsten Kerr, along with friends James Eastham and Nikki Magee, dined at the Wayside Inn in Middletown. At Ryan Armistead’s house, Ryan and friends Mike Switzer, Luke Zindel, Eddie Sause and Leo Santos cooked and served dinner to their dates, respectively, Natalie Counts, Jessica Arnold, Amy Hathaway, Jaimee Hammit and Katja Valtonen. The main course, prepared by Ryan, Luke and Eddie, was the French classic, Chicken Cordon Bleu. Served along with the chicken was fruit salad (Ryan and Luke), macaroni salad (Mike), rice (Leo) and homemade rolls (Eddie). The outstanding desserts were chocolate mousse cake (prepared by Mike) and strawberry meringue pie (made by Ryan). Dinner was served around 8:30, and the couples were later chauffeured to the prom in a limo. When they arrived at the prom, the party and dancing were already in full swing. Some dancers had already removed their uncomfortable shoes, and just about everyone was up on /the dance floor and enjoying the music. At the beginning of the prom, the slow songs were the most popular, but the DJ, taking requests from the crowd, played the better songs toward the end of the evening. The prom was organized by the junior class sponsored by Roger FI inchum, Tammy Snider and Liz Hollie. The room was decorated beautifully, with hundreds of black and white balloons, and champagne glasses (as a souvenir of the evening), star confetti, and bottles of Alpenglow on each table. Even after all that dancing, most of the attendees still had energy for the after-prom party at the Crooked Run Racquet and Fitness Center in Front Royal. According to Kelly Settle, who organized the party along with Susan Fox and Judy Tole, there were 102 at the party. Cash prizes totalling $500 were given out, along with 125 door prizes. Donations were received by many people and organizations, said Mrs. Settle. * Activities played at the party included basketball, wallyball (volleyball played on a racquetball court), swimming, pool races, limbo and hula hoop contests, and a bubble gum blowing contest. Mrs. Settle said that about 30 people were still at the after-prom party when it ended at 5 a.m. Photo courtesy of Wayside Inn staff.
