MM Voters Get 3 to 4 Choices In Election Registration Increases by 400 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff W riter As voters prepare to go to the polls next Tuesday to select representatives to the General Assembly, Constitutional Officers, and local representatives to the Board of Supervisors and School Board, two of the county’s precincts are over the limit of 750 voters that is supposed to require voting machines. However, the county will remain one of only two in the state with all paper ballots. There are 3,833 eligible voters, 774 in Hampton District, 732 in Jackson District, 712 in Piedmont District, 752 in StonewallHawthorn District and 862 in Wakefield District, split between 598 in Flint Hill Precinct and 264 in Chester Gap Precinct. Registrar Nancy Leake said over 400 voters had been added to the list since March. She attributed much of the increase to interest in the contest for Sheriff. Many people have already cast absentee ballots and a large number of them have only been interested in voting in that one race, she said. In the state as a whole there has not been much increased registration, and many potential voters have apparently been ignoring the campaigns to fill all 100 seats in the House of Delegates and 40 seats in the State Senate. All voters will receive four ballots. All will be able to make at least three choices. Besides the choice between incumbent Sheriff John Henry Woodward and challenger Gary Settle, voters will also choose between incumbent Republican Del. Jay Katzen and his Democratic Challenger Sue Scheer for the 31st District seat in the House of Delegates, and a representative on the School Board. Voters in two districts will also have a choice for representative to the Board of Supervisors. Of course, voters can also choose whether or not to vote for candidates running unopposed, or they may choose to write in for candidates in all races. Running without ballot opposition are State Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th District, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Treasurer Frances Foster, and Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins. Three of the five members of the Board of Supervisors are also running unopposed. See Election, Page A-9 By SANDY HUME and SHARON KILPATRICK Timei Newspaper* Staff Writers Del. Jay Katzen (R-31st) and his Democratic challenger Sue Scheer agree on next to nothing, but both concur that someone who lives far from Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren counties could be the key figure in their contentious House of Delegates race: Gov. George Allen. Del. Katzen loyally supported his agenda and promises without hesitation to do so again. Ms. Scheer has made opposition to Gov. Allen’s initiatives one of the main themes of her candidacy. She vows to try to repeal legislation such as the concealed weapons bill, and to battle the Allen agenda on cuts to education and threats to environmental protection. Immediately upon entering the race, Ms. Scheer cast Del. Katzen as a crony of the governor willing to put “the interests of the governor above the interests of the 31 st District.” Implicit in her attack was Del. Katzen’s support of $163 million worth of road improvements for the Disney’s America theme park. That issue alone provided Ms. Scheer with a base of alienated voters, some of r them Republicans. She has also criticised Del. Katzen and Gov. Allen for taking the state backwards in protecting the environment. Besides the issues of preservation and the environment, Ms. Scheer like other Democrats this fal^, has also put a heavy emphasis on education. She has criticized the governor’s proposed budget last year, which Del. Katzen mostly supported, for cuts in primary and secondary education and cuts to state two and four-year colleges. Only the narrow Democratic Party majority in the General Assembly kept these cuts from passing, she says. Del. Katzen counters that the counties in his district have gained substantially in state revenue for schools. However, increased revenue for public schools has been almost entirely due to increased enrollment and increased income from the sales tax as the state climbs out of a recession. In the next two-year state budget Rappahannock stands to see a severe decrease in state spending for the public schools because of the county’s increased Local Composite Index. Only an increase in the sales tax based on school aged children and increased real estate taxes can make 1 up this difference. Although Del. Katzen sits on a committee of the Governor’s Champion Schools Commission that deals with funding, there has been no change to the funding formula which heavily penalizes Rappahannock and Fauquier counties for the high value of their real estate and the high incomes of a few of their residents. To some extent Ms. Scheer’s campaign emphasis on education and preservation has succeeded in shifting some of the debate away from crime and taxes, issues with which Republicans feel the most comfortable. And she has challenged Del. Katzen to run behind the governor’s program at a ,time when his approval ratings have dropped. Del. Katzen, though, maintains that he is eager to be seen as an ally of Gov. Allen. Two years ago the governor carried the district with roughly 70 percent of the vote and Rappahannock County with 64 percent, while Del. Katzen won with 57 percent in both Rappahannock County and the rest of the 31 st District. Del. Katzen believes a majority of voters in a Republican leaning area still support the governor and the measures pushed through the General Assembly. On the list of GOP accomplishments: welfare reform, parole abolition, truth-in-sentencing and tougher DWI laws. Ms. Scheer has said she supports the parole reform and truthin-sentencing changes. Some items still up for debate: spending cuts, tax cuts apd funding for prison construction. Del. Katzen’s message is clear: further change rests with the election of enough Republican legislators to overcome an “obstructionist” Democratic majority. Republicans need to gain four seats in the House of Delegates and three in the Senate to take control of the General Assembly. If they succeed, Virginia will be the first state in the South with a Republican-controlled legislature since Reconstruction. It would also be hailed by national Republicans as confirmation of their revolution, providing bragging rights and momentum for 1996 GOP campaigns. That all depends, though, on the outcome of races like the one in the 31st District. And that may depend, in the end, on the popularity of a man who lives in Richmond. 1 Suzanne Scheer Age - 60 Education • B.S. from Cedar Crest College Profession - Former congressional liason with AID, former member Fauquier County Planning Commission Family - Married to Julian Scheer, Qne daughter Party - Democratic Jay K.

The LCI is recomputed every two years. For the past two years the county’s LCI has been .642. For the coming two-year period it is .7411, meaning the county is^considered even wealthier than it wasktwo years ago. School Superintendent David. Gangel said in a coijraarison between this year and next yearholding enrollment at 1,010 for the two-year period the new composite indent will mean Rappahannock County\receives $360,000 less in total state aid including sales tax, a decrease of 18.1 percent. Increased enrollment will result in some increased state aid, but not nearly enough to make up for the change in the LCI. Enough increased enroll ment to get the same state aid would mean hiring more teachers, Dr. Gangel said. “Numbers [of students] won’t save you in this situation.” In addition auditors have suggested the state change from a “pay as you go” to a “pre pay” system for funding cost of living increases for state employees when they retire in the state system. The retirement system covers virtually all school system employees. Such a change should enable the state to get a higher bond rating and perhaps reduce the interest it has to pay on bonds. What is not known is how the upre pay” system will be funded. Will the state pick up most of the cost of this change or will the localities be required to fund it? If the county has to pick up all of the increased cost, for the current payroll that would be an additional $138,900, Dr. Gangel said. He noted that the schools do not usually know until the last day the General Assembly is in session how much revenue they will be receiving from the state. “My perspective is if you are budgeting, you can’t do anything but accept the worst case scenario,” he said. Dr. Gangel said the school system is expecting to also lose at least $20,000 in federal aid for education. So he will start building the budget for the coming year assuming $20,000 less in federal aid, $360,000 less in state aid and an additional $138,900 contribution to the retirement system that must be included. He said that final figure may be adjusted during the assembly session if he gets information that the cost of living adjustment will not be entirely charged to the county. While real estate values were dropping throughout most of the state, values in Rappahannock County remained fairly stable, Dr. Gangel mused. That translates to a higher LC1 for dje county. Also affecting the LCI is a slump in enrollment for the 1993-94 school year, which was used in computing the new index. That means more wealth that can be taxed per student. Picking up an additional $500,000 from local taxes would mean a 10cent increase to the real estate tax rate. That would not include normal step increases for school system employees or any cost of living adjustments to pay scales. Kevin G.

Dave Shaffer New Librarian Starts Work By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dave Shaffer is the first male librarian that the Rappahannock County Library has ever had. He was recently hired as the new Library Director, replacing Patti Holmes. Mrs. Holmes’ last day is this Friday, as she is moving to Utah with her husband. Mr. Shaffer has been training with her since Oct. 23. His main duties at the library will be to select books for the adult collection, manage the budget, and supervise volunteers and staff. His previous library experience was at a large public library in Prince Georges County, Maryland where he was a reference librarian. That library had a staff of 30 to 40 people. Mr. Shaffer has a MLS degree from the University of Pittsburgh and did his undergraduate work at Penn State, where his earned his degree in the Classics. His favorite books to read are non-fiction, classics, history, philosophy, and poetry. Mr. Shaffer said that he really loves living in Rappahannock, and said it is a big change of pace from Prince Georges County, as people here are much nicer. He rents a house from the Sneads in Gid Brown Hollow. Thrower Charged in Warrent Freya Lineberger of Maryland filed a Warrant in Debt for $900 against Harold W. Thrower last week. According to Ms. Lineberger, Mr. Thrower, 49, of The Shade in Sperryville, owes her $900 for publishing, advertising and marketing services in connection with the BisonEast weekend held at The Shade in September. On Oct. 25, John May of Gid Brown Hollow reported that a single barrel 410 gauge shotgun was stolen from his residence. Last Friday, Roger Lee Hitt, 37, of Castleton, fell asleep at the wheel of' his 1989 Chevy pickup and ran off the road on Route 642 in Amissville. The accident occurred 1.2 miles south of Route 611. According to State Trooper Mike Woodard, Mr. Hitt was not injured except for a small cut, but the truck sustained $3,000 damage. Mr. Hitt was charged with reckless driving. Community Calendar !

Troops To Bosnia? President Clinton righteous determination to send 20,000 U.S. troops to keep the peace in the Balkans does not square with harsh lessons of this country’s “peacemaking” failure and final humiliating retreat with bodybags from internal conflicts in places like Vietnam and Somalia. It is the classic tale of militarily inexperienced politicians sending young men to fight old men’s wars, and worst of all into the wrong war in the wrong place and without a mission to win. This President should read some history. The race for County Sheriff has certainly stirred up a lot of interest in the 1995 election in Rappahannock County. But of at least equal importance is the question of which party will control the General Assembly starting in January. A recent poll indicates that voters are learning to the Republicans, but the result will be determined by local races such as that involving our own 31 st House of Delegates District. • Governor George Allen has gone all out to help Republican candidates win these races, because the fate of the rest of his governorship and his hopes to hold national office rest on the outcome. Local real estate taxes are heavily influenced by the state’s budget. The county is facing a dramatic drop in state aid for education. This is likely to result in an equally dramatic increase in real estate taxes next year. If lottery proceeds are to be directed to education, the county has a huge stake in how that is done. If lottery proceeds are directed to be spent on helping the neediest localities improve their education systems, Rappahannock will not be getting a proportionate share. If lottery proceeds are returned to the localities based on the composite index, again Rappahannock County will be the loser. Everything, from whether environmental regulation is reduced to benefit industry to state tax rates to the pace of prison construction to how much commitment the state government has to public libraries and the Extension Service, is riding on the outcome of these elections, and voters need to be paying attention. Three years ago county voters approved a referendum requiring local elections for School Board members. Now the time has come to conduct the first of such elections. Issues from funding to building to how reading is taught are involved in these races. Again voters should be paying attention. In two districts voters can basically decide whether they want the Board of Supervisors to pursue the policies it has followed for at least the last eight years or make a change in direction. Voters should be paying attention to those races. The right to vote is precious to Americans, but too few people vote, and too few of those who do vote pay careful attention to the likely outcomes of their votes.

Letters to the Editor Whetzel Replies To the Editor: You state that “...Mr. Lee is the one who knows about the workings of the county school system.” It would be strange if he didn’t having been appointed and having served for a number of years. , As to the suggestion that “Mrs. Whetzel could make a significant contribution to the school system if she is interested in volunteering...” ignores the fact that for more than 10 years I have been a volunteer. 1 work with adults who didn’t learn to read under the system used by the public school‘d I am not sure what you mean by “a significant contribution.” As you know, volunteers have no decisionmaking authority. Only as a member of the Rappahannock County School Board could I make a significant contribution. ELIZABETH “LIBBY” WHETZEL School Board Candidate, Hampton District Woodward Replies To the Editor: This is in response to a couple of letters to the Editor in last week’s Rappahannock News. In the 12 years as Sheriff of Rappahannock County, I have never relieved anyone from their position without just cause and Mrs. Connie Huff-Harris was no different. Due to the fact that this is a personnel matter, I am not at liberty to discuss the particulars of her release publicly. The only thing that I did in this matter was that she was not relieved of her duties sooner, but out of respect to her father, brother and uncle who I have high regards for, I overlooked some of her causes for termination. In regard to my policy on use of the police vehicles assigned to a Deputy Sheriff, it is stricter than my counterparts of adjoining counties which allow for the use of the vehicle off duty for any activities within the county which is called visibility. My policy is that it is not to be used off duty unless it is law enforcement oriented, but if someone runs down to the local store for a loaf of bread, etc., it is allowable. On duty any deputy may stop by any place of business and purchase items if so needed. In fact it is encouraged. I do not know where Mr. Harris is receiving his information on problems in my office, but he should find another source that will state the truth and p6l his/her opinions. The DARE program is administrated by myself, keeping up with funding, scheduling days for the DARE officer to teach and put on programs. As with any other programs/meetings, prior commitments may not allow for me personally to attend all functions. As in ah three previous elections I have never personally encouraged any employee to sign anything in support of myself. As far as I known this has been handled by the employees themselves. But I will say that employees that are not loyal to their employer, especially a sheriff since a deputy is an extension of his arm, can have adverse actions for the Sheriff and his organization. Celebrations come in all styles depending on the occasion. If my officers type of celebration that was chosen last election offended anyone, 1 apologize, but 1 know of no illegal act that was committed. If Mr. Harris feels left out of the last celebration, I will personally see that he is included this time. In closing, if my opponent’s supporters can only find negative remarks about myself, my wife and staff and not words of support for him, as my supporters have done for myself, maybe they should take another look at who they are voting for on Nov. 7. Thank you for giving me the space to respond. JOHN H. WOODWARD Sheriff It's Time For a Change To the Editor: As Election Day draws near 1 would like to take this opportunity to express a few of my thoughts. When 1 addressed my first crowd at the Court House on the 4th of July to explain my goals and objectives, I felt proud to be part of the electoral process. Two things stand out in my mind recollecting that event. The first being the joy and celebration that all the adults and children were exhibiting that day. Secondly, a statement that the Sheriff made to the crowd. He stated, “I know all there is to know about the Sheriff’s Office and all there is to know about budgeting.!’ I thought to myself, “Do we ever reach a point where we know all there is to know about any subject?” I don’t think so. I’ve had the opportunity to review copies of the Sheriff s Office budget for the last several years and this year, and what concerns me are the many items within the budget that could be heavily scrutinized to trim costs. There are many grants that are available to law enforcement agencies that provide money^to train employees, purchase equipment, combat drug abuse at no cost to the taxpayers of this county. I have worked with sheriffs that utilize this avenue to remove the additional burden from the taxpayers. I believe the real savings lie in budget cuts and obtaining funds through grants. Why should Rappahannock County be left out when other counties across the state are taking advantage of these offers? My goal will be to provide a cost effective and efficient Sheriffs Office that will be trained and held accountable for their actions. Training is the foundation of any organization or business and is crucial in today’s society where the demands of police service become greater and greater. It is easy to list areas of training that are mandated by the state and build a smoke screen that hides the real issues at hand. I bring you advanced training in the areas of supervision, crisis management, Civil liability, drug/criminal enforcement, community policing, juvenile crime, constitutional law, arrest procedures, search and rescue, office management and a number of other areas. As I am a certified state instructor I can provide additional training to members of the Sheriffs Office at no cost to the tax payers of the county. It is my goal to make sure that all deputies are trained to handle all situations. Mandatory follow-up calls on all investigations should be conducted to assure that all leads have been exhausted to grant the victims relief in a time of need. A phone call to the victim to reassure them that the Sheriff s Office is continuing their efforts to bring their case to a logical conclusion should be included. Currently the Sheriff speaks of a 47.5 percent clearance rate for Rappahannock County. I did some research myself in this area, and what 1 found out was that in 1994 the clearance rate was 28 percent for Rappahannock County. in iaM weeK s letters 1 reaa about the additional duties that Sheriff Woodward takes upon himself, such as; mechanic, seamstress, custodian and dealing with the placement of radios in the patrol vehicles. When working with the Sheriffs Office in the early 80’s, I too helped with a number of the vehicles when it came to putting equipment in the vehicles or making repairs, and I can also remember a number of other people who have helped through the years to support this cause, but I’ve never heard their names mentioned at all. Twelve years ago the county recieved a new dispatch systerm and the jail was renovated which Sheriff Woodward frequently recieves all the credit for. Prior to Sheriff Woodward’s term there were many people behind the scenes that made this possible such as the Board of Supervisors, volunteer fire and rescue departments and other volunteers. Sheriff Woodward was obviously in the right position, place, and time to recieve all the credit that many deserved to be a part of. Let’s look at the record since the jail opened. We’ve had five escapes from the jail, the same person twice. How can we account for this happening time after time? We have the equipment and personnel in place, equipment that is modem and personnel that are dedicated to their profession, but l believe we lack the management skills from the Sheriff to address these re-occuring problems. My last thought concerns the youth of our county and the increasing juvenile crime rate. I believe law enforcement plays a significant role in the education of our youth. I believe that it is very important that role models in our county participate in functions involving the youth, as 1 have done in the past. I have participated’in such areas as school sports, dances, drug and alcohol free parties, and classroom participation involving educating our youth on common law enforcement issues. As your Sheriff, 1 pledge to you that 1 will remain involved with the youth to establish the relationship between law enforcement and the youth of the county. ' In closing, I would like to refer to Ployd Stilley’s letter in last week’s issue that, I too do not see a desperate need for high tech traffic and crime fighting equipment. What I do see is a need for a Sheriff that will be available and accessible to address some of the problems that we will be faced with in the near future. I am not an advocate of tax increases or additional equipment at the taxpayer’s expense, but what I do advocate is addressing the problems that are at hand. By electing me as your Sheriff, the citizens will not be getting a Trooper pr a Sergeant from the State Police jbut you will be electing a person who-is a native of the county, who is qualified, well trained with proven leadership skills, and understands its history and rural needs, but yet doesn’t lose .site of the issues we are faced with tomorrow. Through my availability &nd accessibility that I have pledged from the beginning, we can provide a better tomorrow. Does Sheriff Woodward really know all there is to know? I feel it is time for a change. I ask for your support and vote on Tuesday, Nov. 7. If you are unable to get to the polls and need transpdrtation or if you have any questions regarding the issues or my campaign please call me at 987-8109.

Scheer's Promise e To the Editor: When you read this, we will be on the last days of my campaign for the House of Delegates from the 31st District. And the question I get most of .the time these days is, “I bet you’ll be glad when this (campaign) is all over.” Well, yes and no. Living on a steady diet of filling station hot dogs isrt’t a prescription for good health, bjit I have enjoyed almost every nfinute of the time I have spent traveling about the district and meeting all thfi residents. ’• I first saw this area when I was a teenager. My parents wanted to take a trip before I went to college, so we drove through the valley of Virginia •and through Rappahannock and Fauquier, and I thought I had discovered a wonderland. I vowed — I was still in the dreaming age — that someday I would live here! Thirty years ago, my husband, Julian, and I moved to our farm near Catlett and I get the same sense of Wonderment today as I got as a teenager. No place can match the beauty of this area and no place can match the warmth of its inhabitants. I think I have had a special feeling for this place because of where I came from: a dying community in the Northeast, dying industry and dying spirit. It was so sad. I promised that I would do everything I could to make certain that never happened here. It may seem awfully idealistic, but I believed then — as I do now — that individuals can make a difference. I threw myself into the job of building on the way of life we have here, and I have not slowed down in JCLyears, nor do I intend to. In my case it was going from PTO’s to the Fauquier County Planning Commission with time for our Rescue Squad, Cancer Society, Mental Health Association, citizens’ organizations and just about any other •group that needed a volunteer. I drew on my professional experience working at a college, a university, an educational association, a congressional office and at AID in the U.S. Department of State. . . When I and others became upset with what was happening in •Richmond, particularly in education, jobs and the environment, my friends urged me to take on one more task. So that’s what I have been doing for the past six months in a campaign to rep resent the 31st District in the House of Delegates — walking, talking and listening. And the voices all seem to be saying, “We can do better. Let’s not forget the next generation.” We must get on with the work of continuing to build a better elementary and secondary school system. We must continue to build on the strong college and university system we have. We must not turn back the clock on our environmental regulations. We must continue the forward thrust of the developing new high tech base in the Commonwealth. We must continue to face firmly the issues of crime. It is as simple as that. My response: “I want to be your voice.” That’s my promise. SUE SCHEER Candidate for 31st House of Delegates District Rewards Not Wards To the Editor: We are appalled that you would describe our children as “wards” in your editorial comment on the School Board in your Oct. 25 publication. Wards of the state, wards of the county, wards of the Snead’s — my “wards” are enrolled in the Rappahannock High School and we’re as proud as peacocks of the accomplishments of our “wards.” Nancie, “ward” number 1, is Vice President of the SCA, an honor roll student, has lettered in track, academic and cheerleading, was the Junior class secretary, the secretary of the SCA last year and the MVP in volleyball. Becky, “ward” number 2, is President of SCA, editor of the school paper, a member <Jf the executive committee of the senior class, lettered in volleyball, has had numerous rolls in community theatre and had the lead in the school play last year. Previously, both our children were very active in the county 4-H program. Our children, although not biologically, are our children. They are our rewards. Perhaps that’s what you meant to print — rewards. Your choice of words was hurtful to us and our children. As a candidate for the Piedmont School District, I would not treat your children as “wards,” but as your rewards. SAM and WANDA SNEAD Washington Editor's Note: Mr. Snead is a candidate for the School Board from Piedmont District Wood Is People Oriented To the Editor: Perhaps many of the voters of Jackson District have already made up their minds about whom they will support on Nov. 7 for the Rappahannock County School Board. Perhaps, however, many are undecided and would like to know more about candidate Rick Wood. From personal observation, I can share with you that Rick is very open and people-oriented. He would welcome any questions or concerns regarding his views on education. Rick believes first of all that parents should have a choice in the education of their children. His two oldest children have attended public schools most of their lives and have also attended private schools when he felt it was necessary and in their best interest. He believes: • Teachers should have more control in the classroom, where the teaching environment can be ideal for all. • There should be quality vocational and technical training. • There should be less government involvement, with more tax money spent in the classroom, and, in the case of Rappahannock High, a football field. Perhaps most of all, Rick has a good deal of common sense and leadership qualities that enable him to make decisions quickly arid effectively- lyI have seen this in his years as general manager of his family-owned and operated automotive centers. He has the respect of the men with whom he works. Rick also has a heart for his employees. I have seen him many times give a man a second and third chance to become a good mechanic. I have also witnessed his compassion when he assisted other employees in securing admission into a rehabilitation center to get their lives back in order. Rick never likes to give up on anyone, and has always gone the extra mile to help whenever he can. Rick has been involved in the budgeting and finances of the over SS million per year business, with approximately SO employees. He has a heart for young people. He has, on many occasions, spoken to groups of young people about the pitfalls of drugs and alcohol. He cares Paid Advertisement Who Will Represent You Best in the 31 st District? I Corporate/PAC Contributions O Individual Contributions + SCHEER T 1 KATZEN Mr. Katzen wants you to believe he represents all of us in the 31st District. Why then does over 35% of his financial support come from PACs (Political Action Committees) and corporations located outside the 31 st District? No wonder he hasn't voted for us (according to the Virginia Association of Counties vote tally). Vote for Sue Scheer. She will represent us, not special interests. Paid for by Citizens for Better Government - VA-95-092 about people. I know this very well, because I’m his wife. Having spent the best part of his life here in Rappahannock County, Rick’s compassion runs deep; he genuinely cares about working with you to provide our children with a quality education. Thanks for your vote on Nov. 7, giving Rick Wood an opportunity to serve you on the Rappahannock County School Board for Jackson District. KAREN WOOD Amissville Working Folks Support Katzen To the Editor: There are three good reasons why working men and women in Rappahannock County are supporting Jay Katzen’s reelection campaign. First, Jay Katzen, Gov. Allen and Republicans in the General Assembly proposed a family-friendly budget to cut taxes for working families and get state spending under control. Democrats on a party-line vote defeated the tax cut. Npw we find that the state treasury has an $80 million surplus all because Democrats who control the state legislature voted to over-tax us. Now Democrats can’t wait to get their hands on that money so they can spend it in their typical style: like drunken sailors. Jay Katzen wants to give that money back to taxpayers as a tax cut. Second, working people want their families to be safe from violent criminals and they know that Democrats are soft on crime. It was Jay Katzen and the Republicans who fought fof abolishing parole to keep violent criminals behind bars for the full length of their prison sentences. Democrats in the General Assembly refused to build more prisons to keep violent criminals behind bars and away from law-abiding citizens. By refusing to build more prisons, Democrats are setting the stage to have their allies in court (that is, the liberal judges they have appointed) order an effective overturn of the noparole law by releasing criminals due to lack of prison space. Third, Jay Katzen and the Republicans believe that able-bodied welfare recipients should work for their benefits. Democrats, on the other hand, believe /Welfare should be a give-away, handout program. Governor Allen’s welfare reform plan will save taxpayers $130 million over the next five years. Liberal Democrats who control the General Assembly have threatened to repeal Gov. Allen’s welfare reforms and increase welfare spending by $180 million if they win control of the General Assembly on Nov. 7. A vote for Jay Katzen is a vote for real welfare reform. A vote for his opponent, Sue Scheer, is a vote for returning to increased welfare spending without any strings attached. There are, of course, many more reasons why working people support Jay Katzen. But what it really comes down to is that Jay Katzen and the Republicans represent honest change. Democrats, on the other hand, have controlled the state legislature since Reconstruction. They are cheerleaders for the status quo because they are the party responsible for outon-crime judges, lenient criminal laws, and excessive taxation on families. To the Editor: On Nov. 7 the citizens of Rappahannock County will elect a delegate to the General Assembly. The endorsement of Sue Scheer in the Oct. 18 edition of the Rappahannock News reflects the broad-based support among both Republicans and Democrats which she has achieved. Although your endorsement mentioned some reasons for your support of her candidacy, I think it is important to outline some of the reasons why we should elect Sue Scheer to this post. Simply put, Sue Scheer will better represent the citizens of the 31 st House of Delegates District than her opponent. Sue Scheer knows the needs of this district better. Her opponent moved into the district two years ago to pm for office. Sue Scheer has lived here for 30 years. Her opponent has not taken the time to understand the needs of this district, but has voted against those needs on occasion after occasion, not just on giving taxpayer money to Disney, but on local laws WALT LONGYEAR and other members of the Rappahannock County Republican Committee Support Scheer against trailers, and funding for education, to mention a few examples. Sue Scheer is not bound to outside interests or extremist ideologies Her opponent has received 43 percent of his funding (up to Oct. 15th) from PACs, most of which are outside the 31st District. Sue Scheer’s funding is local. She will not owe anything to outside interests when she gets to Richmond. She will be able to vote for the needs of the 31 st District. Sue Scheer has been able to reach out to voters of both political parties inside the 31st District. Her opponent has alienated a large sector of his own party. Many that worked in his 1993 campaign and are now working for Sue Scheer. It has been mentioned in letters in the Rappahannock News that Sue Scheer should not be elected because the Democrats have had control of die General Assembly for 122 years, and the Republicans should have a turn. This argument is absurd. Sue Scheer should be elected because she is the best choice. While there is not enough spa£e here for a history of the Virginia Democratic party, I should like to point out something people seem to forget. The Democrats have done a good job running the state in the last few years. Republicans talk about “tax-and-spend liberals”. When was the last tax hike in Virginia? (Hint: it was before Chuck Robb was elected Governor in 1981). Virginia has a lower tax rate than 43 of the 50 states Is this “tax-and-spend”? Under Governor Wilder, Virginia was rated the best run state for two years in a row by a money investment magazine. (Now we have slipped to number two). The Republicans are hard put to come up with a reason for changing how our state is run. Perhaps that is why much Republican criticism of Virginia Democrats seems based on New Jersey problems. And this again brings us back to the candidacy of Sue Scheer. She is a Virginian; she is a 30 year resident of Fauquier county who has roots in the 31st District, with commitments to improving where she lives; and Sue Scheer has a history of dedicated service to her community. She has reasonable approaches to Virginian problems, not some ideological attachment to issues outside of where we live. She will represent the needs and visions of a majority of the citizens of the 31st District, not the wants and fears of an extremist few. Sue Scheer should be elected to the General Assembly. J.

Support Settle To the Editor: This is in response to Mr. • Pagano’s letter concerning Gary Settle's vision of what this county needs. First, Mr. Pagano should be pleased that Mr. Settle took the time to come out and visit him and personally ask for his support. I am a county native and have voted for years, and in the 12 years that Mr. Woodward has been Sheriff, he has never knocked on our door to ask for support. 1 think you have to admire Mr. Settle for the hard work and dedication he has put forth for this election. This should be some evidence to what we can expect from him. 1 was very impressed with Mr. Settle’s planned approach to correct some of the problems this county has. I would like to say 1 strongly agree with Mr. Settle this Sheriff s Office does indeed need more training and education for handling their jobs, not only for the county residents, but for their own safety. As far as the need for more back-road patrols, there is a great need for 4iat also. 1 have lived in my community all my life and have seen many 'changes — the biggest, I think, being the number of strange vehicles that ride through our neighborhood at all times of the night. (Looking for what I don’t know). Also we have a problem with young people speeding back and forth by our house. We live on a dead end street. People park by our house all the time partying and leaving their trash for someone else to clean up. On one occasion this summer we even heard gun shots within 500 feet for our house. The Rappahannock Sheriffs Office was called by a neighbor. She was told someone would be out. Well, they did come one hour and 20 minutes later. I really can’t believe that Mr. Pagano could make a statement like he thought there is too much police intervention in our lives now. I can bet if he experienced some of the problems we have, he would quickly Is r retract his statement. Also, if he has only lived here since 1973 and likes to live like a hermit, as he claims, he really has no perception of what problems this county has or what is needed here. Drugs, for example. People like Mr. Pagano are very naive to think there isn’t some degree of a drug problem here among our young people. I am greatful that Mr. Settle is ready to attack these issues, for I have a youngster in the county school system who I don't want exposed to drugs. I believe there are plenty of other parents who feel the way I do. I personally have nothing against Mr. Woodward or any of his staff, but it is indeed time for a change, and I strongly feel that Gary. Settle is the change this county needs. I believe he is everything Mr. Pagano said the Sheriffs Office should be made of (tone, style and vision) and of course his police experience is a great asset. So 1 hope this county will wholeheartly support Gary Settle for Sheriff. JEAN WILLIAMS Chester Gap Support Katzen To the Editor I am writing in response to your editorial of Oct. 18, and two accompanying letters to this paper (one by Ms. VanNess and one by Ms. Marshall). While I attended the Oct. 9th Farmers’ Association forum in the capacity as candidate with the honor of sitting next to Del. Jay Katzen, ! did not see these theatrics performed by Mr. Katzen that Ms. VanNess alludes to. There must have been another Farmers’ Association forum which I was not invited to. At the meeting on Oct. 9th, 1 believe 1 saw Ms. VanNess and her husband sitting with Mr. Scheer and his daughter, and I conspicuously wore a Katzen label sticker which should signal any onlookers that 1 support Mr. Katzen and Ms. VanNess supports Sue Scheer. It could also be said that we see the same things differently. Jay Katzen has proven himself a very able representative of the county, ' but not only that, he has proven himself our friend as well. So when Ms. VanNess scrunches up her face and says Jay “rents a house, doesn’t pay any real estate tax” it hurts me to see him attacked so. Jay and his wife, Paddy, are paying rent and not racking up equity in a home because they have been paying college tuition for their three sons.Jay is committed to education. Ms. Marshall hit the nail on the head. “The children are watching.” Our high school students have probably noticed that the Rappahannock News agreed with the president of the Virginia Education Association in the Oct. 11th issue when you said the bill that Del. Katzen and one other delegate voted against was only a “shell game” or a phony bill. And then they hear Sue Scheer on radio and read her printed advertising using the lie over and over again that Katzen voted against education funding based on this vote. Perhaps some were present at the forum I was invited to when Ms. Scheer stated that, “SAT scores are not going down in the state,” while every paper in the commonwealth has written about declining SAT and Literacy Passport test scores. Some high school seniors have told me that they believe Ms. Scheer is a little reckless with the truth. Perhaps this is why Supervisors Wilbur Burton, a Democrat, in 1993 failed to re-appoint Ms. Scheer to her seat on the Planning Commission in Fauquier County stating, “It would be in the best interest of Cedar Run District to appoint someone else.” We should not wonder .why our schools are doing poorly when Democrats like Sue Scheer and her supporters have been totally in charge of our schools until the Allen administration in January 1994. Democrats are trying to hold on to their thin margin in the General Assembly and are frantically pushing their liberal candidate here in Rappahannock County. Do we want the lies, hypocrisy and low standards of the Democrats or a brighter future with safer schools, more money in classrooms, background checks on teachers and employees of any type that might come in contact with school age children, sensible curriculums with positive test scores that the Republicans offer? Support Gov. George Allen and vote for Jay Katzen, as 1 will; and I’m also supporting Rick Wood for School Board. Ask your supervisor and school board candidates whom they support before Nov. 7 and let that guide you in your decision on every race. Jay Katzen truly cares, and the children truly have been watching. Republican Party Chairman and Board of Supervisors Candidate, To the Editor: Next Tuesday Rappahannock voters will choose who will be our Sheriff for the next four years and we are fortunate to have a choice between candidates whose background, training and experience suggests each is qualified to fill the job. How then do we choose who will serve us as chief law enforcement officer of our county? I believe there are two factors that best define this race and provide a clearer picture of what is at stake in a county that is very much in the midst of change. Look at our ridgetops, visit little Washington or Sperryville on the weekends or look at all the new fences along our roads. Like it or not, we are a county in transition and a great deal of sensitivity is required to insure what makes us such a unique place to live is not lost in the process. Our Sheriff must be aware of these issues as well as understand the external influences impinging on our county and be prepared with a vision of how to protect and respond to the best interests ■ of the citizens of Rappahannock.

The second factor in deciding who should be Sheriff is found in the campaign that each man has waged. On one hand, John Henry Woodward asks we return him to office on the basis of proven fiscal restraint and twelve years of faithful service. On the other, Gary Settle provides a slate of objectives and goals for they department and himself that is specific and quantifiable as well as providing us a basis for ongoing evaluation of the office of Sheriff. I believe Gary Settle is a man of vision and energy dedicated to keeping Rappahannock a place where we are safe and proud to live. His extensive training and supervisory experience with the State Police gives us a unique opportunity to elect a highly trained professional law enforcement officer to direct our Sheriff’s Department at a time when the need to do so has never been more clear. For these reasons, I will vote for Gary Settle next Tuesday, believing our county will benefit and our citizens be well served with Gary Settle as Sheriff of Rappahannock County. BURNETT TRUEWORTHY Woodville, Va. Your Vote Does Count To the Editor: As Nov. 7 is fast approaching I hear different people saying they are not going to vote because it looks like this or that. Please people, take time to look at the candidates and come out and cast your vote. You can determine what direction Rappahannock County will take. It is the one time you can voice your opinion and it is heard. Let’s vote and be thankful that we can take part in our community. See you at the polls. May God bless each of you. CHARLES DAVID HUFF Washington Candidates Supported To the Editor: Sue Scheer deserves strong support in her race against Jay Katzen for The House of Delegates. Her record in a variety roles is outstanding: promising leadership in education, crime prevention, real concern for people, and fiscal responsibility. This is a crucial election. This Republican administration, supported though it may be by industries accused of dumping waste into our rivers, must not be permitted to lead in negative directions, destroying the environment, imprisoning people for terms of inordinate length with no rehabilatative programs to support reform, eroding public school education while supporting for profit schools which are not required to meet standards. We need Sue Scheer. We need other democratic candidates Who practice real democracy. John Henry Woodward has been a good Sheriff, tough enough on criminals, but not harsh. He has modernized the office and utilized his funds wisely. There are alternatives within present laws and sentences for dealing with violators without spending tax money for more and more costly punishments or unnecessary staff, patrols, or equipment. WILLIAM H. YOUNG, MD Washington, Va. Forum Was Helpful To the Editor: Thank you to all who sponsored the School Board Candidate Forum. Knowing very little about the Wakefield District candidates, I attended the well organized forum on Tuesday evening with an open mind. I walked away with no doubt that Ellen Manson will receive my vote in November. I was impressed with her intelligent and articulate answers. I was most impressed with her ability to listen to the question asked and give a specific answer. Clear communication is extremely important and the ability to listen is an absolute necessity in a School Board member. 1 enthusiastically support Ellen Manson and am encouraging all of my Wakefield District neighbors to do the same.

The Panthers girls' team was also successful in advancing to the regional meet, netting fourth with a score of 99. The Brentsville girls were crowned champions for 1995, beating out Centra] 49 to 79. George Mason took third at 98 points, with Rapp right behind them at 99. Stonewall Jackson was fifth with 106 points, Strasburg sixth at 111 points, and Clarke seventh with 132 points. Page and Manassas Park did not field full teams. Brentsville’s Devon Moore won the race at 19:35. The first girl from Rappahannock was Jessie Gheen, running a time of 21:14 and placing sixth. Holly Gangel was second for Rapp, also earning herself a medal by placing in the top fifteen at eighth place. Caroline Baumgardner (21st), Lauren Sharp (31st), Emily Sims (33rd), Myriam Lathuille (38th), and Robyn Kaye (42nd) were Rapp’s third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh runners. Coach Dave van de Graaff was pleased with how smoothly the meet went and with how the Panthers did. He’s very excited about the teams, which he calls the best since he’s started coaching. Soccer Team Perseveres After three weeks of rained-out games, the coaches of Rappahannock’s three U-8 soccer teams were determined to play one way or another on Saturday. Unfortunately, Saturday dawned damp, which apparently deterred many of the parents of Sharon Pierce’s U-8 team. At game time, she had only two bonafide players. Her opponents, a Rappahannock team coached by Jim Lofton, had turned out in force, however. What to do?

County to Keep Agents By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County will probably be able to keep two extension agents under a reorganization plan for Cooperative Extension announced by Virginia Tech this fall. Helen Smith, who has been a fulltime agent assigned part time to work with Family and Community Educator Clubs (formerly called Homemaker Clubs) and part time with 4-H, will probably become full time 4-H, she said. Kenner Love, a full-time agent assigned part time to agriculture and part time to 4-H will probably become full-time agriculture. The Family and Community Educator Clubs will receive service through a home economics agent assigned elsewhere in the planning district, Mrs. Smith said. In announcing the restructuring, Virginia Tech President Paul Torgersen said, “Cooperative Extension has experienced budget reductions of more than 20 percent over the past five years. We believe that we cari accomplish this restructuring within existing resources, but not with less.” Mrs. Smith said the entire Extension Service is going to area programming next July 1. She and other agents have already been doing some of that, she said. She had been working on nutrition for the planning district, while Mr. Love had been spe4-H Club Visited Horse Show Sunday Members and parents of the Rappahannock 4-H Horse and Pony Club attended the Washington International Horse Show on Sunday, Oct. 29 at the U.S. Air Arena in Landover, Md. They saw the jack terrier races, international showjumping class, four horse driving competitions, and viewed exhibits. Participants included Ashley Corbin, Stacy Woodard, Shannon and Kaitlin Mullan, Morgan Roach, Hallee and Hannah Morgan. They were accompanied by parents Diana Corbin and Halle Morgan. cializing in pesticide management. Mrs. Smith said she does not know if she will be expected to pick up responsibility for 4-H clubs in other counties. The restructuring plan has five parts, according to Dr. Torgersen. The first is streamlining administration. Administrative positions will be reduced 40 percent from 20 to 12, freeing up more resources for programming at the local level. A second emphasis will be investing in information technology. Computers will be used to make information available throughout the state. Of 70 positions lost during the state’s buyout program last year, 22 would be replaced. Virginia Tech plans to use salary savings from not filling the other positions for training and equipment purchases. “This mirrors the trend that has been followed in industry,” Dr. Torgersen said. “We believe that through information technology, Virginia Cooperative Extension can enhance its service to the Commonwealth and set an example for other states.” He emphasized, however, that retaining the salary savings from the vacated positions “is critical to the restructuring we envision.” The third part of the plan would mean putting priority on agriculture. Statewide the Extension Service would add 22 agriculture agents, maintain the current number of 4-H agents, and reduce the number of home economics agents by 15 percent or nine positions. The remaining home economics agents will be directed to assist localities in working to implement welfare reform. The Extension Service is also being asked to increase outside revenues. Mrs. Smith said as an example the cost of the Master Gardener class is being increased and supporters of that program are looking for grants to continue it.. The fifth goal of the restructuring program is to “strengthen” the relationship with local governments. “Fortunately with our proposed investments in information technology, time and distance become less of an issue,” Dr. Torgersen said. “Our goal is to emphasize educational programming and technical assistance which local citizens and governments will be able to choose according to their own priorities. We intend to maintain an Extension presence in every locality that desires one, but programming must be conceived on an areawide basis if it is to continue. to be effective.” \ ’ —Paid Advertisement— JOHN TOLE For School Board Stonewall-Hawthorne District Vote for Experience —Authorized by the Candidate, paid for by Andy Platt— —Paid Advertisement— VOTE Attorney for the Commonwealth for Rappahannock County • B.A. University of Virginia, 1969 • J.D.

Cub Scouts Have Fall Hike By LIBET PIERSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Flying leaves, bright sun and cool shadows accompanied the Cub Scouts of Pack 123 on their Fall Hike this past Sunday. The two-mile walk and subsequent pack meeting took place at the Rock Mills farm of Paul and Martha Henze. The farm roads made for easy hiking across wooded slopes, sunlit open ridges and along the sparkling waters of the Thornton River. In keeping with the season, the outing included identification of many of the wind-tossed leaves encountered along the way. Form and/or color helped in making distinctions between red oak and white oak, maple and tulip poplar. Sassafras, wild cherry, blackhaw, hickory and pawpaw leaves were examined and the leaf identification sheets consulted. A few hikers were confused by bittersweet and greenbrier vines masquerading as the trees on which they were growing. The leaf form and color of another plant — poison ivy — were duly noted and henceforth avoided. Following the hike, scouts and parents gathered in the ridgetop clearing for the presentation of achieve ment awards, and recognition and introduction of new den leaders. Cubmaster Dave Riedel discussed the Pack’s current popcorn sales fundraiser as well as the Food Drive scheduled to begin mid-November. Hay Drive Organized The Rappahannock Farmer’s Association is sponsoring a hay drive to assist the flood victims in Madison County. Farmers giving 20 or more large round bales will have the hay picked up. Donations of less than 20 large round bales should be delivered to the Waste Water Treatment Facility road in Sperryville. The entrance is across from Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. Go through the metal gate. A tractor with unloading equipment will be available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the next three Saturdays ending Nov. 18.

New Area Code Unreachable? Virginia’s State Corporation Commission has joined with local phone companies, long distance companies and the FCC in a program to combat a problem that may keep people from being able to call Rappahannock County and other areas in the new 540 area code after Jan. 27, 1996. Businesses with private branch exchanges (PBX) or similar switching equipment may not be able to call into the 540 area code if their equipment is not upgraded. Many new area codes using numbers 2 through 9 in the middle digit are being activated, not just in Virginia but throughout the country. Old switching equipment cannot reach these numbers. The SCC believes many businesses with this equipment have not yet upgraded. Upgrades can cost from $850 to $17,500 depending on the equipment. Starting this week the communications organizations are launching a campaign called “Don’t Get Stuck in the Middle.” Organizations are encouraged to call test numbers to determine if their system needs an upgrade to read new area codes. In Virginia the test number is (540) 829-9910. If a call to that number does not go through, callers should contact the Area Code Hotline at 1-800-218-6436, to report the difficulty. Additionally new toll-free numbers will be assigned the 888 area code instead of 800 starting March 1, 1996. Businesses or organizations using old switching equipment will not be able to reach these numbers either. The specific upgrade required by an organization will depend on the system it owns. For this reason, owners of PBXs and similar private systems should consult their equipment providers to determine their particular needs. Callers attempting to make calls to area codes their equipment cannot access will have to make operator assisted calls and pay the higher toll charges for them. The advent of the new area codes came about when the 144 original area code numbers — those with a 0 or 1 as the middle digit — were depleted. Industry experts point to tremendous growth in the use of cellular phones, modems, fax machines, pagers and other telecommunications services as the reason behind the increased demand for additional telephone numbers. No Growth Could Cause Suit By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy said, if the county Board of Supervisors, “holds fast and maintains 1 a slow growth or no growth policy, sooner or later someone will sue, and it will be a battle royal.” Speaking to a gathering at the county public library’s Friday Night at the Library program in October, Mr. McCarthy was responding to a question from Jim Gannon on “the likely course of development.” ' Mr. McCarthy said the county’s Zoning Ordinance “is not eternal,” and can be changed by a majority vote on the Board of Supervisors. He said growth in the availability of jobs closer to the county makes the county more attractive as a place to live. Each decade since World War II growth and development move one counfy closer to Rappahannock, "Mr. McCarthy said. Of the County, Mr. McCarthy said, “We don’t have the things a business wants. We have everything people want. We have to wrestle with that.” If the people continue to elect supervisors who want to keep devejr opment out, the county will have to be prepared to show it “tried to provide for development where services are available. No one wants to move to Rappahannock to live in a town house,” he said, adding that could Subscribe to the Bappahannock News, Call 675-3338.

Day REALTOR HOME EVALUATION When it comes time to sell your home, you will undoubtedly ask: "What selling price would you recommend?,v At this point, the Realtor will take a walk through the home and grounds and, perhaps, ask a few other office colleagues to give their opinion and come to a consensus. This is part of the service offered by real estate agencies and it is a vital one. There is nothing — but nothing — more important in the marketing process than placing the right selling price on a home. However, caution is warranted. A home valuation is a verbal opinion of value. It should not be mistaken for a real estate appraisal which can involve considerable time investment both on-site and in the office. An appraisal is a fee-paid service by an appraisal specialist which may be required for insurance, estate pr other legal matters. Frankly, a good home valuation by an experienced-^agency like purs is all that you'll probably require before putting your home on the market. We know the local market and what price will SELL!

Mr. McCarthy had explained how the parts of county government fit together, the role of the constitutional offices, the Board of Supervisors and such “quasi independent” agencies as the Library Board, Recreational Facilities Board and Water and Sewer Authority. The members of those boards are appointed by the Board of Supervisors, but they have some independent quthority, he said. Mr. McCarthy said the county itself has only six employees which are not required by state law: himself, his assistant, the building inspector’s secretary, one Sheriffs deputy and two employees who operate the landfill. The county sets the salaries of those six and the building inspector and animal warden, who are required by state law. All other county employees are required by state law. and their salaries are set by the state, he said. He said his job is “to act as a resource” for the Board of Supervisors,” to gather information for them, give them advice and once they reach a decision, “to make it happen.” He spent some time going through the agenda for the October meeting of the board giving background for the various matters the board considered. He said when he came to Rappahannock County he had another job offer from Prince William County as “planner 1.” He said if he had taken that job he would have had to spend his first eight months reviewing site plans for fast food francises. “I cannot imagine spending eight months doing that,” he said. “I love my job.” utidriJ® o DISTtNCITVE LADIES CLOTHING Hurry in for the best selection.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1,1995 Gallery's Art Auction Offered Varied Wares Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Rick Hart’s “Eye of the Flame” brought the highest bid. Abell, Wyrrick Will Step To the Edge at Ki Theatre Monologue, Dance Next Weekend A On Friday, Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m., Joyce Abell and Sharon Wyrrick will share an evening of performances at Ki Theatre in Washington. Steps td the Edge encompasses the tone of the two new works that will be presented. Mrs. Abell will be performing her 'ew monologue “Sally,” based on an excerpt from the novel Oral History by Lee Smith, who is one of Mrs. Abell’s favorite Southern writers. The piece portrays Sally as a woman reminiscing about her family, growing up in a coal mining camp, and the joys and sorrows she experiences. Mrs. Abell said that in “Sally,” shets trying to comment on the complexity of a simple person who has had a tough life and has felt both joy and anger. “It seems that I can get closer to the audience when I can do that and they can get closer to me,” she said. “I just love doing this series of Southern women. I have always loved Southern writers, Southern people and the Southern way of life,” said Mrs. Abell, who is a fairly new resident to the South. Mrs. Abell began her acting career, in 1991 when she appeared in the Shepherd’s Play at Ki Theatre. With a lot of help and training from Julie Portman, Mrs. Abell has done an average of three performances a year since her first time on the stage. She hopes to have another one act-play ready in the spring. Her talents also extend to directing, which she has done with the Open Theatre at Ki Theatre. Previous monologues performed by Mrs. Abell have been Rupert's Birthday and White Raccoon, both by playwright Ken Jenkins, and Katie Cocker Tells It Like It Is, by Lee Smith. Mrs. Wyrrick will present a new dance theatre work titled The Baby Must Walk. This new work will bear her signature style of weaving together different images and stories that relate to a common theme. She says of her new work, “So often in creating a new work, I am actually trying to share with my audience questions I am asking They are questions that come up in the course of living. “1 don’t pretend to provide ‘the answers, but asking the questions is a starting point. Looking at things in a theatrical context gives a different perspective.” This new piece takes a look at the apparent drive to replace human tasks with technology, but these tasks are basic to expressing ourselves. The title for the piece, The Baby Must Walk, refers to the necessity in the young child to take those first walking steps or climb those stairs all by oneself. It is the necessity of identity, said Mrs. Wyrrick. Mrs. Wyrrick has been a dancer and choreographer for 20 years, and has performed all over the United States and internationally. She also has a background in visual arts and theatre. Locally, she has performed with Ki Theatre, and is working as the artist-in-residence at RCHS. Tickets for “Steps to the Edge” can be purchased in advance at Mountainside Market in Sperryville or Cabin Fever Books in Washington. General admission is $10 in advance; $12 at the door. Students and children are $5. Call 675-1616 for information. Old Rag Hikes, Campout Scheduled for Weekend The Ragged Mountain Resource Center will be conducting two hikes and an overnight campout option this weekend to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Resource Center. The hikes are Saturday and Sunday. Both hikes will be up the Ridge Trail of Old Rag Mountain, whose older name Ragged Mountain, inspired the name of the organization. Both hikes will begin at 4 p.m. from the upper lot of the Old Rag and will last at least four-five hours. Most of each hike will be in the light of the Waxing Full Moon. Hikers should bring layered clothing and food for themselves. An optional campout after Saturday’s hike is possible. Campers should meet between 33:45 p.m. to set up camp. To get to the Old Rag, take Route 231 to Route 601 and follow the brown park signs all the way to the upper lot at the end of Route 600. Call Hunt at the Ragged Mountain Resource Center (6751879) for more information. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The art auction at Middle St. Gallery last weekend raised over $10,000. That figure will be split between the gallery and artists, who each receive 50 percent of the sales price. Eighty percent of the proceeds from the Rick Hart sculpture, which was auctioned off for $4,000, is being donated by Mr. Hart to the Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. The remaining 20 percent goes to the gallery. The auction was well attended, with many bidders who were also at last year’s auction. Gallery members Robin Purnell and Laurie Marshall worked at the Sunday auction, describing each piece of artwork and the artist who created it. Besides Ms. Purnell and Ms. Marshall, several other Rappahannock artists also had artwork in the live auction — Sandra Forbush, Dan Lewis, Barbara Heile Sherwood, June Jordan, Rex Slack, Jeremy Slack, Ned Bittinger, Peggy Schadler, Stephen Wagner, Jeff MacNelly and Lois Manookian. Many non-Rappahannock residents also participated: Tom Spande, Arnold Holeywell, Alexia Scott, Bruce Blundell, Sandra Burton, Jim Fort, Tucker\lill, Walter Garde, Mary Brownstein, Paul Germain, Margaret Novak, Mary Rogers, Judith Einstman, Jim Ramsey, Chris Stephens and Frederick Hart. About half of the art in the live auction sold, and many pieces in the silent auction sold also. One couple from Houston, who was visiting here for their anniversary, purchased three paintings from the live auction. The artwork was a wonderful representation of paintings, sculpture, pastels, drawings, a monotype, and masks produced by very talented artists, obviously appreciated by the audience. The youngest artist with work in the live auction was Jeremy Slack, 12 year-old son and “budding ornithologist,” according to his mother Laurie Marshall, whose painting Peregrine Falcon was purchased in the auction. Tom Spande, who has been showing his work in the gallery since he was 11 and is now in his early 20’s, had one painting in the auction, “Embassy by the Bridge of Buffaloes.” Mrs. Marshall explained that Tom now struggles with schizophrenia and she hopes that he will continue his wonderful art. The auctioneer was Lawrence “Pee Wee” Bennett of Culpeper, who donated his services for the event. RAAC Hoedown Set On Friday, Nov. 10, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community will present a foot-stomping evening of country dancing for all ages with professional fiddler and square dance caller Slim Harrison. The event is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Mr. Harrison returns to the county by popular demand after a wellreceived 4th of July appearance on the courthouse lawn. His charisma, wit and high energy make him the catalyst which brings the crowd together in the spirit of country fun. While Mr. Harrison fiddles, dances and calls simultaneously, even the most reluctant non-dancers are moved to join him in the jig. “We were so impressed at the way he is able to inspire the crowd to join in the dance, we wanted to get him back down here to work with the kids in the elementary school," says Sallie Morgan, RAAC president. “The hoe-down follows Slim’s twoday workshop with children at Rappahannock Elementary. They will leam simple square dancing and put together an informal jug band. Then the whole community can come together on Friday night so the children can share what they have learned.” The country theme of the event celebrates our local apple harvest and the natural beauty of our landscape Casual country dress is encouraged.

Serve Quiche Tarts for a Quick and Easy Entree ^ Heidelberg Quiche Tarts are an out-of-the-ordinary autumn entree with a hint of German influence. Although they look exotic, they’re actually easy to make for brunch, lunch or dinner. Caraway-spiked cocktail rye slices are a convenient alternative to the usual quiche crust. Inside, a smooth custard flavored with sour cream complements the surprisingly delicate flavor of your choice of cabbage or bright Brussels sprouts.

Luckily, most folks deep eggs on hand — and they are just perfect for meals on the run. They cook up fast and can be tucked into myriad containers — from bagels to pita pockets, from English muffins to toast — it’s the perfect take-along breakfast. It’s neat to keep a supply of hard cooked eggs on hand this time of year. They’re great for snacks, but even better to toss in a lunch bag, or grab on the way to the bus stop, or soccer practice. If unexpected company walks in, chop a few and top with paprika or caviar. Or spread on crackers or mini-bagels, top with cheese, and serve after a trip to the broiler. Eggs really are today’s most perfect convenience food. And current research shows that for most folks, “An Egg a Day is OK.” Schedules are busy at this time of the year but you need to be sure that your family is getting the proper nutrition that they need to give them the necessary energy for all of their activities. Portable foods should be sensibly packaged, easy to handle and sturdy enough to travel well. Everyone knows the importance of breakfast, yet many people don’t allow enough time in the morning. As your family rushes out the door, why not hand them an insulated pack containing hard-cooked eggs, a muffin and fruit. Hand held items such as these are perfect to eat in the car, on the bus, at an office desk or during a college lecture. Brown-bagging it” is a popular lunchtime meal choice.

Nowadays, the people don’t feel we have these responsibilities so we teed to make the transition from the revolutionary spirit to community spirit. During the flood, we saw the jest that people can do — the bondw building sense of community spirit, neighbor helping neighbor. This transition is a challenge and is we fail, we fail our forbearers. v As Mrs. Zillah Gutowski, Second Vice-Regent, was unable to be present when the other officers of the Chapter were sworn in, Mrs. Dale Metzinger, District VI Director, repeated the procedure for her.

Paid Advertisement / Sue Scheer is best facing critical issues - &appaf)annocfe jSetM Editorials Sue Scheer Rappahannock County has never had a delegate representing it in Virginia’s General Assembly who puts in more personal appearances in the county than Del. Jay Katzen. One on one he is sympathetic to almost any county resident’s cause. He puts in many hours trying to be helpful. However, when he goes to Richmond, he no longer seems to represent the interests of the people of the county and the rest of the 31st District. Rather he becomes the voice of Gov. George Allen and works for the enactment of the governor’s program, regardless of its frequently undesired impact on his constituents. Gov. Allen inherited a state with a national reputation for fiscal conservatism. Yet he talks and acts as though he was elected governor of Massachusetts. The state is not responsible for the taxes mdst Virginians find burdensome. Increasingly it is local real estate taxes that burden citizens, and the increase in real estate taxes is the direct result of the state cutting its level of service, forcing local governments to pick up the difference. Many people seem inclined to base their vote in the 31st District contest on Del. Katzen’s support for the now defunct Disney’s America project proposed for Prince William County. In two years in the General Assembly Del. Katzen cast hundreds of votes: It is not any one vote but the tenor of two years of General Assembly sessions that should be the basis for the decision. Sue Scheer has become publicly involved largely as a member of the Fauquier Planning Commission. In that position she dealt with many proposals for developments. Some won her favor; some did not. But it was the whole of the last session of the General Assembly that caused her to seek a seat in the House of Delegates. Of particular concern was the governor’s proposed budget that would have cut funding for education, meals for seniors, libraries, the Extension Service and numerous other state services, all cuts that were supposed to fund a minor reduction in the state income tax. Since deciding to make the run she has spent considerable time learning about the concerns of the citizens of the three counties in the 31st District. She has listened well. If Mrs. Scheer is* elected, Rappahannock County and its interests will be well represented in Richmond. Sue Scheer deserves the support of the voters of Rappahannock County. Wmcjmet Utmes-Bemacmt Editorial <STOpinion The Times-Democrat Endorses. .. 31st House District Sue Scheer Sue Scheer has long been involved in local county issues, serving on the Fauquier County Planning Commission and bringing vast experience in difficult decisions about growth, development and the preservation of our county. She understands the importance of protecting our environment and avoiding short-term growth, which would overwhelm and destroy in the long term the classic beauty and resources of this county. A strong supporter of public education, she believes that every child should be afforded a high quality education in the public schools, and will support education as a top budget priority in Virginia. She also advocates programs to help at-risk students, helping them before they become candidates for prison. Promising to be tough on crime, Mrs. Scheer also recognizes that criminals can’t be locked away forever. She supports pay-as-you-go prison construction, rather than build-now, pay-later plans. She would work toward repeal of the state’s new liberalized concealed weapons law which as led to thousands more handguns on the streets. Her outright opposition to any Western Washington Bypass is, however, unrealistic. Some future corridor such as just west of Dulles Airport, to take growing traffic off of U.S. 15 and the Washington Beltway is going to be essential. The issue is not whether, but when this happens. Mrs. Scheer promises to seek clean, high-tech industry, creating additional jobs here. She supports repealing the Dillon Rule, which would return more power and authority to local government. While incumbent Del. Jay Katzen has performed a solid day-today job of constituent service, Sue Scheer would best square with the most critical education and growth issues facing Fauquier County in the immediate years ahead.

Pork Today — The Lean Break Through for Consumers By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Lean is in, fat is out. Lowered-fat, the nutritional buzz phrase of the 1990s, is one of the many nutritional benefits fresh pork can offer. With fresh pork's new and improved nutritional profile, you’ll be happy to discover that it’s leaner than ever before, and lower in calories and . cholesterol. The pork industry is responding to public demand for more healthful pork by producing leaner products that meet consumers nutritional needs. Today, the pork industry provides consumers with better-than-ever pork products. Add the variety of lean pork cuts makes meal planning more fun and convenient for today’s busy consumer. Nutrients Plus A real nutritional bargain? You bet. Fresh pork is an outstanding source of many vitamins and minerals essential to the human diet. Pork provides high-quality protein, and is a primary source of other essential nutrients like vitamin B1 (thiamin). As always, pork is an excellent source of vitamins B2, B6, B12, iron and zinc. Fat Facts That hidden/culprit...fat! We’re hearing so much about saturated and unsaturated fat that it’s become difficulty to understand nutrition today. Actually, fat is an essential part of our diets. Americans, however, tend to consume too much fat for good health. The key, as in all food choices, is moderation and balance. Becoming familiar with the source of dietary fat can help you make wise food choices. Nutrition experts recommend that, in your total diet, no more than 30 percent of total calories consumed should come from fat, with no more than ten percent calories from saturated fat. American can take heart in the fact that fresh, lean pork is increasingly viewed by dietitians as a healthful protein choice.

Let Campaign Launched The Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary launched its 1995 “Lights For Life” campaign in October, in celebration of Fauquier Hospital’s 37th anniversary- sary“Lights For Life” is an annual fund raising event to support Auxiliary projects. Donations from the public are represented as lights on three spruce trees on Hospital Hill which are lit at an annual ceremony. This year’s tree lighting ceremony will beheld at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 6 on the hospital grounds. The annual tree lighting has become a popular community function, marking the beginning of the ' holiday season. Each year several ~ hundred people attend the event, which includes special music and refreshments. One light is placed on the trees for each donation of $5 or more. . Lights typically are placed on the trees in honor or in memory of someone special to the donor. A card announcing each gift is sent to the family of the individual being honored. Both the names of the donors and of those being honored then appear in the “Lights For Life” memorial book and in the event program. General gifts also are appreciated.. Each year the Auxiliary saves the “Light at the Top of the Tree” for someone special to the Auxiliary and the community. This year the light will "honor Dr. Robert W. Iden, beloved physician and community benefactor who passed away this . year. Donations of “Lights For Life” are tax deductible and may be sent to: Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary, Lights For Life, c/o Business Office, 500 Hospital Drive, Warrenton, Va. 22186.

Landscape Design Simplicity By DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Landscape design is an art — the art of arranging the out-of-doors to provide a maximum of enrichment and enjoyment. The key to most good art is simplicity, so a well-designed garden is often most beautiful and functional when executed in a simple manner It will be less costly and require less upkeep as well. Achieve Simplicity by Grouping Simplicity in garden design may be achieved by grouping plants that are alike in lines or masses that serve a definite function. A random scattering of plants creates a sense of disorganization and a lack of order and belonging. Gardens that are over-planted, like a poorly arranged room, do not function well. Know how you will use a plant before bringing it home to avoid over-planting. In landscape design, you must consider both planted spaces and unplanted spaces. An open lawns or the shape of the lawn near a curved bed takes on a form as a result of the shape of the nearby planted area. Too many turns in a garden design can destroy the crisp beauty of a simple line and add maintenance — extra turns mean extra labor and time. Consider Eliminating Plants Around Foundation Foundation plantings, the plantings surrounding a building, originated when homes were raised off the ground surface. Modem construction techniques have made them necessary. Many shrubs planted near foundations' need continual pruning to keep them within bounds and out of windows. They cover the lines of the house and serve no true function. Often the home would look better and be easier to paint and maintain if some or all of the foundation shrubs were removed. By contrast, over-simplicity in the garden may lead to monotony an<j a lack of interest. Like a feather in a hat or a tasteful necktie, splashes of color or key accent plantings, when properly placed, make an otherwise average landscape more inviting. Balance Is Element in Simplicity Achieving the proper balance between open and planted spaces and how they function for your family is the key to a good home landscape. You can hire a professional to do the job or spend time studying landscape design and construction books to do it yourself. Whichever approach you choose, keep it simple for the sake of beauty and function.
