Africans Enthrall High Schoolers By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer It was last Thursday night. Two men from Africa — more precisely, from Cameroon on the west coast of central Africa — were eating dinner in a Castleton home. Their hostess, the parent of a 15-yearold at Rappahannock High, said, “I have no idea what kind of reception you’ll have at the high school tomorrow. I’m not sure many of the students have ever seen or met people like you.” Paul Kengmo replied: “There will be no problem. You’ll see. They will feel it when we open our hearts to them. Then they will open their hearts to us.” The next morning Paul Kengmo and Joseph Ngwa faced several hundred Rappahannock students — some of whom were slouching in their auditorium seats and making wisecracks at the beginning of the assembly — and turned them into clapping, laughing, dancing allies. Jermain Jett, 14, who admits that he started as one of the slouching skeptics, was on his feet smiling and clapping by the end. “They were pretty darn cool,” he said. “1 didn’t think it was going to be that much fun. It was exciting!” If there was a formula for what Mr. Kengmo and Mr. Ngwa did and they bottled it, millions of parents would line up to buy it. They were billed as musicians and dancers, but they actually talked as much as they performed. Between short sets of playing drums and balafons (a xylophone-like instrument made out of African gourds) or doing a mime of harvesting a crop or simply dancing, Mr. Kengmo and Mr. Ngwa covered an array of subjects, starting with breaking stereotypes about Africa. They said Africa isnot a place filled with starving people who don’t have enough clothes to wear, with the exception of those people (a minority) whose way of living has have been destroyed by war. And Africa is not mainly jungle. They said Africa is the mother of ancient civilizations. It’s also the original home of all people. Africa contains cities with millions of people, skyscrapers, fast-food restaurants See Africa, Page A-6 Senior-Youth Center Requested at Forum Water Supplies Also a Concern By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff W riter Citizens told the planners the county needs a center for senior citizens and youth, more recreation facilities for youth, and manned and fenced dumpster locations in outlying areas at a public forum in Chester Gap last Wednesday. They also discussed concerns for protecting well water both from contamination and from having the wells run dry. The meeting was held as part of the ongoing effort to rewrite the Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Mike Massie said the Planning Commission had spent about six months gathering data about the counts and was now soliciting views from the citizens on what should be included in the plan for goals for the next five years. The first of three community meetings was last Wednesday’s. It focused on natural resources and community facilities. The second meeting will be on farming and business. It is scheduled for Wednesday Dec. 13 in the Amissville Fire Hall. The final public forum is scheduled for Wednesday Jan. 10 at the Sperry ville Fire Hall. Villages and bypasses will be the subject of that meeting. •^Chester Gap resident Susan Pierce said she had never lived where water came from a well before and she was concerned about having her well go dry. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser asked if there was any community organization in Chester Gap that could help the county gather data on how deep wells are in Chester Gap, how much water they give and whether people are having trouble with wells going dry. Maybelle Gilkey said there are only the Fire Department and churches. Mrs. Pierce said there is a Blue Ridge Homeowners Association but it is not very active and few people participate. County. Administrator John McCarthy said many people do not know how deep their well is or how much water it produces, and the county can only find out abodt failing wells when people get a permit to drill another one. He and Dr. Krebser said part of the problem with water supplies in Chester Gap is that the area is shared with Warren County. They said the two counties will have to work together to protect water resources. Because the health department now requires a place to he set aside for a backup drainfield, more and more people are putting three or more lots together from the original subdivision in Chester Gap to get one building lot. That should reduce the potential demand on the water supplies and reduce the likelihood that wells will become contaminated, they said. "Butch” Zindel, a member of the Planning Commission who is a builder, said well-drillers are having to go about 100 feet deeper than they did 10 years ago. "Drainfields on small lots will eventually contaminate some wells,” he said. Hunt Harris said there is an illegal dump site at the headwaters of the Rappahannock River in Chester Gap, and that could cause wells to become contaminated. Ruth Kiger said closing the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble would increase illegal dumping. John Ralph said the county should find a place near the Huntly dumpster site to relocate it where it can be fenced and manned. Others said if it is fenced, it needs to be open and available regularly or people will still dump illegally. Several people expressed concern about people scavenging in the dumpsters. Mrs. Gilkey said it bothers her that people go through her trash. “They set up lawn chairs and spend Sunday at the Huntly Mall,” she said. Mr. Massie suggested she “take it up with the new Sheriff." Mr. Harris brought up the idea of a community center to serv e both seniors and youth. Mr. Massie said the fire halls used to be community centers and provided recreational outlets for youth. He said as he stood outside the Washington Fire Hall during voting Tuesday, many people told him the youth need somewhere to go. He said he wondered if the increased requirements for training meant that volunteers had less time for working with young people. Mrs. Gilkey said it is getting much harder to find volunteers for the fire and rescue squads See Forum, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins School Closing The Rappahannock school system will call these stations to broadcast information about school closing because of bad weather: WPQX - Shenandoah - 99.3 FM WAPP - Strasburg - 105.5 FM WFTR - Front Royal - 1450 AM/95.3 FM WCVA - Culpeper - 1490 AM/103 FM WRAA - Luray - 1330 AM WFLS - Fredericksburg - 1350 AM/93.3 FM WfNC - Winchester - 1400 AM WUSQ - Winchester - 610 AM-102 FM WRCY - Manassas - 107.7 FM WQRA - Warrenton - 94.3 FM WHSV-TV3 - Harrisonburg - Channel 3 WK.CW - Warrenton - 1420 AM WIN A - Charlottesville - 1070 AM WVTR-TV 29 - Charlottesville - Channel 29 WRC-TV 4 - Washington, DC - Channel 4 In addition information on school closing will be updated on the school system’s voice mail system.

Council Considers Money, Survey Results By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Louise van Dort has taken a strong hold of the reins as treasurer of the Town of Washington. Looking over the accounts of the town, she found that most of the town’s money was tied up in a savings account earning only 3 percent interest, or in a checking account earning no interest. With approval from the council, she will be transferring nearly all of that money, plus three of the five $10,000 5-year CDs, to an LGIP account which will earn interest at a much higher rate. She said that if the money had been in the account for the last year, it would have already earned about $2,500, which could have paid for some of the office equipment needed in the town office. Two operating accounts will be maintained one for the water system and one for the town, and funds will not be transferred into those accounts until needed, said Ms. van Dort. Once again, many more gallons of town water were pumped than were billed for. Some residences in town have water leaks which account for the high numbers, but the people are not billed for all the water. The council decided to give residents 60 days to correct their leaks. After that they will be billed for the water. The Washington fire department has been receiving free water, but council decided at the meeting the fire department will receive 10,000 gallons a month free; they will be billed for water over that amount. After much discussion, a bill presented by surveyor John Baumgardner was approved for payment. The bill had exceeded his original estimate for doing the town’s survey by a considerable amount, according to Mayor Stewart Willis. Mr. Baumgardner was at the meeting and explained that much more was required for the survey than he had originally thought. He will be available at several more town council meetings to answer questions anyone has about the survey. Before the next town council meeting on Dec. 13, council member Ray Gooch and town attorney Frank Reynolds will meet w ith Mr. Baumgardner to go over any problem points having to do with the survey for discussion at the next meeting. Because only one member of the town council can also be a member of the town’s planning commission, Ms. van Dort resigned as a member of that commission. Council member Steve Critzer is a member of the planning commission and said he wishes to remain. Ms. van Dort suggested that whoever is appointed to replace her should be well educated about planning and zoning. Mitzie Young’s term on the town planning commission expired on Oct. 1, and she said she wishes to remain on the commission. Council member Charlie Tompkins said he believes the town should buy a state of the art computer and a better copy machine for the town office. This will be discussed at the next meeting after price estimates are obtained. 20th Circuit Chief Magistrate Eldred Resigns Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Chief Magistrate Fran Fldred takes a call in her office. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Frances W. F.ldred, the Chief Magistrate for the 20th Judicial Circuit for the past 10 years, has resigned her position effective Nov. 30. Mrs. Eldred was appointed Chief Magistrate, which is a full-time job, by Chief Circuit Court Judge Carleton Penn. Prior to that she served as a magistrate in Rappahannock County starting in 1976. As Chief, she supervises all magistrates in the 20th Judicial Circuit which includes Rappahannock with two magistrates, Fauquier County w4th four and Loudoun County w ith four. She is responsible for the initial training of all magistrates, some scheduling (though individual offices do most of their own scheduling), preparing the budgets, seeing that the offices run smoothly, and a whole lot of paperwork. The chief magistrate is also an intermediary between other magistrates and judges. Oftentimes a magistrate may need to confer with the chief regarding a particularly complex situation. In case ot illness or emergency she win nn in. In Rappahannock County, magistrates are on an on-call basis, usually for 48 hours. They often arrange to meet with law enforcement officers at specific times rather than being in the magistrate’s office all the time. But they may easily be called in to deal with a situation in the wee hours of the morning, so one of the two magistrates is always available to be in the office at a moment’s notice. In Fauquier and Loudoun counties, where traffic through the magistrate’s office is much heavier, the office is normally open during set hours. A magistrate’s job is often misunderstood, said Mrs. Eldred. Their main function is to provide an unbiased and independent rev iew of complaints brought to them by police officers, sheriffs, deputies and Citizens. Contrary to popular belief that warrants are issued by law enforcement officers, magistrates are the ones who issue See Eldred, Page A-6 ' / ' /

PantIher Pause By BEcky CAllEqos J Being Thankful Many times in high schools the students that attend tend to dwell on the negative aspects of their educational environment. During the festive season of Thanksgiving I chose to allow the students to point out the positive features of RCHS. Marie Adreoni, “1 guess I am thankful for all the great friends I have.” John Arnold, “I appreciate the fact that we all get along pretty well and there is not a lot of violence.” Julie Bankston, “1 am thankful that our school has more advanced technology than surrounding schools and that we are able to use those resources freely.” Sharee Dunagan, “I am thankful that I go to a small school, so that I can get one on one help from my teachers when 1 need it.” Nancie Gallegos, “I am thankful that our school provides the ability for a student to expand their creativity.” Alice Gentry, “I am thankful for the continuous sports and neat projects within the school.” Tano Gomez, “I like the school because in a small school you know everybody.” Kelly Hall, “I am thankful for my close group of friends.” Jonathan Heddleston, “In a little school you get to play sports. In a big school you don’t have the opportunity unless you are outstanding.” Amy Joback, “I am thankful for the outgoing, hardworking compassionate administration.” Chris Kerr, “I am thankful for the small, friendly environment that our school provides.” Amelia Manson, “I am thank ful for the close relationships of the students.” Courtney Mauro, “Because of the small size of our school, 1 enjoy and appreciate the individual attention to each student given by the teachers.” Anna Metcalfe, “I am thankful for all of the parent volunteers that come into the computer lab and help out with other projects.” Jonathan Moore, “1 am thankful for having snow days.” Rob Reeve, “I am thankful for the fact that it is a small school and the teachers will give you time.” Jesse Rogers, “I am grateful that there will be a JV soccer team to give the younger kids a chance to play before varsity.” Eddie Sauce, “I am thankful for the wpnderful teachers.” Laura Schadler, “Despite things being small, I’ve found a wonderful group of friends.” .Kent Switzer, “I like the idea that I go to a small school. I like all the different sports such as soccer and I like the teachers.” Mary Beth Williams, “1 am really glad that I am closer with my friends.” Mike Wolfe, “I am thankful for the computers because they are a great necessity to our school.” Tim Zirn, “I am thankful for ,the fact that it is easy to get to know your teachers.” And there you have it. The small atmosphere of RCHS isn’t quite as bad as some students make it out to be. So during this joyful season, attempt to give your thanks to all of the administration, faculty, and adult volunteers that help make your educational experience a success.

Though he feels that he still has a few good years in him as a law enforcement officer, “Because of the results of the current election 1 felt it was a good decision,” he said. If Sheriff Woodward had been re-elected, Major Streapy said he would have remained with the Sheriff’s Office. He was hired 16 years ago by then Sheriff William Buntin, after having worked for 21 1/2 years in the Alexandria Police Department. He has two university degrees in police administration and is a certified fingerprint expert. “1 just made a fingerprint case a couple of weeks ago,” he said, by examining the latent prints and identifying them. He then confronted the subject who gave him a confession. Major Streapy said that he feels that Sheriff Woodward has built a fine organization with dedicated young personnel. “I am proud to be associated with the Sheriffs Office. I love them all. Captain Mitch Hitt does a fine job as the administrator of the jail,” said Major Streapy. Because there are many court cases yet for Major Streapy to testify in, he will be in and out of the office between now and January 1 when Sheriff-elect Gary Settle begins his job. Major Streapy said that he and John Henry Woodward began their jobs together as deputies under Sheriff Buntin. He recognized a lot of good traits in Deputy Woodward and encouraged him to run for sheriff when Sheriff Buntin retired. “He has shown me in the past 12 years that he is an honest, hard working and dedicated law enforcement administrator. He saw to it that the law was administered equally to all persons, and he never asked me to back off an investigation or to intensify one because of someone’s.social standing...I love him like a brother,” said Major Streapy. One thing that Major Streapy says he would like to see in this county is a victims’ rights advocate. The position could be financed with grant money, he said. He continued, “To the citizens of Rappahannock, I hope I did not disappoint you too much in the past 16 years. I always have tried to perform my job keeping in mind the trust and faith that you have placed in me. I hope I did not let you down. Now 1 am retiring to my Rappahannock County farm and grow the finest apples and peaches I can.” Ben Venue Break-In Reported By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer A burglary at the Ben Venue Market on U.S. 211 was reported to the Sheriff s Office on the morning of Nov. 7. According to Major Ed Streapy, entrance was gained to the premises by breaking a pane of glass in the east side window of the market. Taken were 15 cartons of cigarettes, three large containers of luncheon meat, mustard, and $942 cash. Major Streapy was not able to determine if any sandwich bread was taken but he thinks it is highly probable. He said it appeared that the guilty party or parties were also going to take a case of beer, but that was left on the premises. He thought the bur glars may have been on foot. Last Sunday afternoon, Lonnie Clatterburk, 60, of Woodville, was arrested for hitting his son-in-law, Ronnie Hines of Woodville, with a lug wrench. Mr. Hines did not require a trip to the hospital. A 16 year-old male was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in the parking lot. of the Sperryville Emporium last Thursday about 9:40 p.m. The Sheriffs Office responded to an anonymous tip. Michael Starks, returning to his house in Rock Mills last Friday after having spent time in jail, reported that several items were missing from his house: a 14K gold bracelet, a Motorola pager, a Swiss army knife and a 35mm camera. r Paid Advertisement 1 A Special Thank You to all those who supported me in the election.

The format allowed people to think big, and some did. They asked the planners for a senior center that could also serve youth, more recreation areas for youth, and decentralized dumpster sites that could also handle recycling and an exchange of usable goods. If the planners add that wish list to the Comprehensive Plan, they run the risk of alienating the overwhelming majority of voters who were not present and whose primary goal for county government is to keep their taxes down. Over and over county citizens bump into the reality that, with no large source of revenue other than real estate taxes, Rappahannock’s government is not likely to embark on significant expansion of available public facilities. Those who want these things need to explore ways to accomplish them that do not require government funds. The county has a model day care center and a new public library building. They were built with no significant expenditure of public funds. Those who want a senior citizens’ center or a youth center, need to organize a private effort to bring these things to pass. They also need to lobby the state government to allow the county to expand its taxing authority to tap into other sources of revenue. Government Shutdown The budget impasse between Congress and President Clinton is not without some benefits. The Commerce Department informed the Rappahannock News by fax that due to the government shutdown the Census Bureau would no longer be providing fax services. Since that service has several times meant that a dozen or more pages of the newspaper’s fax paper have been taken over by the Census Bureau printing pages of statistics and information that never found their way into the newspaper, that was good news. Winter Arrives Already it is happening. School, sports events, meetings, and performances get cancelled because of weather. With only a weekly paper, Rappahannock citizens have a hard time keeping up with scheduling changes. The school system is providing some relief. There is a voice mail system that provides information on schedule changes both for school itself and for sports events. The number is 987-9316. Take advantage of the service. Letters Helpers Thanked To the Editor: Thanks to RAAC, to the library, and to all the individuals who helped me with my recent photo display and who hosted and attended the coffee at the library on Oct. 28.

If anyone can help me, call my friend Daniel Bundy at work, 1-800-872-6472 (Monday through Friday) or they can write me at the jail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. CONNIE BRISBANE P.O.Box 156 Washington Ideals Upheld To the Editor: The election is over and almost none of the people that I voted for won their race. Yet on the morning after the election, I whistled as I walked to my office, and I walked with a light step. I was able to do so because I truly love and believe in the American republic and its democratic method of choosing new leaders. Through our nation’s darkest days and brightest moments it has served us well and distinguished us from all the other nations on earth. One election ago, President Clinton began his inaugural speech by saying, “Today we celebrate the mystery of American renewal.” He said that renewal was, “Not change for change’s sake, but change to preserve Americans ideals — life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless.” Mr. Clinton had replaced President Bush, who had this to say in his own inaugural address: “Some see leadership as high drama, and the sound of trumpets calling, and sometimes it is that. But I see history as a book with many pages, and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning. The new breeze blows, a page turns, the story unfolds.” Abraham Lincoln was able to express the elegance of the American system of government in poetically simple terms which anyone can understand. “By the frame of the Government under which we live,” he said after becoming President with only 40 percent of the popular vote, “this same people have wisely given their public servants but little power for mischief, and have with equal wisdom provided for the return of that little to their own hands at very short intervals.” We can turn to the “World News” section of our newspaper and at a glance see a world in turbulent upheaval because of violent changes in power — Bosnia, Haiti, the Middle East, Rwanda — and we see also the nations where the tyranny is so great the people cannot overthrow their government even by revolution — Iran, Libya, Cuba, China. “At such a time in history,” said Dwight Eisenhower in his first inaugural, “we who are free must proclaim anew our faith. This faith is the abiding creed of our fathers. It is our faith in the deathless dignity of man, governed by eternal moral and natural laws. . . It is because We, all of us, hold to these principles that the political changes accomplished this day do not imply turbulence, upheaval or disorder. Rather this change expresses a purpose of strengthening our dedication and devotion to the precepts of our founding documents, a conscious renewal of faith in our country and in the watchfulness of a Divine Providence.” The real victory of each campaign season is that win, lose or draw, w ith each election we re-affirm the divinely inspired founding documents of our country and recognize that our real strength is that we are now, as we have been throughout our nation's history . One Nation Under God. J. MICHAEL SHARMAN Culpeper Look It Up vff To the Editor: ' Apropos of the recent approval by the BZA of some sort of a “primitiveherb school” I suggest that interested' parties traipse over to the Library andread the comments of the fictional. Lord Pendlebury on page 45 in M. Beaton’s book Agatha Raisin and the: Vicious Vet. ; \ Well said, your Ludship, my sentiments exactly. JESSE POND JR.'

KILPATRICK Seventy years ago, give or take a year, I made a chance remark to my mother. I said Aunt Eva was sweating. Mother gently reproved me. “No , dear,” she said . “Horses sweat. Men perspire. Byt ladies merely glow.” I thought of this semantic distinction a few weeks ago when Crown Publishers sent me galleys of Hugh Rawson’s updated Dictionary of Euphemisms and Other Doubletalk. Rawson is the undisputed top authority on euphemisms. His book is a browser’s delight. A euphemism is “the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant.” English speech contains hundreds, probably thousands of them, both positive and negative. Positive euphemisms inflate and magnify. A garbage truck becomes a sanitation truck; a doorman becomes an access controller. Negative euphemisms deflate and minimize. Thus a prostitute becomes a “lady of the evening,” and adultery slips away as “an extramarital affair.” Because I believe most euphemisms sin against clarity, I try to avoid them. But not always. Depending entirely on one’s audi ence, a writer may have sound reasons for not calling a spade a spade. There is nothing wrong with sensitivity. There is much that is right in seeking never unintentionally to offend anyone. The most objectionable euphemisms are those that wrap plain truths in army fatigues, the better to camouflage their impact. Rawson tells the story of Col. David H. E. Opter, who served as air attache at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in 1973. He complained one day to newsmen: “You always write it’s bombing, bombing, bombing! It’s not bombing. It’s air support.” In the same fashion, the accidental killing of our own soldiers becomes “friendly fire” or “incontinent ordnance.” The CIA at one time had no intention of murdering Fidel Castro; the idea was to dispose of him instead. In 1977 a racial riot broke out in Montreal, but the police chief denied it: “It wasn’t a riot at all. It was a melee. No, melee isn’t right either. What happened here was an aberration of the social system.” My impression is that in some areas euphemistic speech is on the decline. I count that a good thing. When I broke into newspapering as a cub reporter in 1941, all kinds of taboos were in place. It would have been unthinkable to write of a woman’s breasts. The proper terminology, if the matter had to be discussed at all, was to speak of her bosom, her chest or her upper torso. There was no such thing, in print, as syphilis or gonorrhea; there were only social diseases. We now report, straight out, that Vincent Foster killed himself; he did not meet death by his own hand. Editors authorize candid identification of bodily parts and functions. Testimony at a recent rape trial dealt with pubic hair and semen, and that was the way we read it in the papers. I also have a contradictory impression that euphemisms are getting sillier and more numerous all the time. There is something pathetic in identifying a stupid child as an exceptional underachiever. Prison inmates are not “clients of the correctional system.” They are prisoners. When a' prisoner attempted five years ago to tattle on Vice President Dan Quayle, reporters were told that the prisoner was in “administrative detention.” Where he was, was in a solitary cell. Some years ago the new director of a TV station in Portland, Ore., reported on the air that a local personage had been “fired.” The next day brought a memo frorryjhe station manager: “You said that Eric was ‘fired.’ Hope that was just your pencil moving too fast. He wasn’t fired; He is a reduction in force.” ! - So it goes. Within the Postal Service, employees may be "excessed out.” Their jobs revert. At IBM, the firing of employees at one time was management-initiated attrition.” Few companies fire, but many outplace. The principal objection to euphemistic speech lies in the damage done to meaning. The specific yields to the general, and we get George Bush’s vision “thing.” Society abounds with ambiguous “problems.” A person who stutters has a “speech impairment.” A cripple is “differently abled.” ■; » The presumption is that such cashmere delicacy warms the hearts of an affected group. The Indian will be pleased to know that, mysteriously, he is a “native American.” Workers will be comforted to learn that a Social Security deduction is not a tax, it’s a contribution. The sagacious Hobbes, of “Calvin and Hobbes,” once speculated that by such devices “we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding.” Hobbes had it just about right.

SPORTS Wrestling Program Underway By CINDY MAHAN ■ Rappahannock Nawi Stiff Writer ! Registration for the first youth wjrestling program in Rappahannock will be held this Saturday at the RCES gym at 10 a.m. - If someone is unable to attend in person, registration may be completed by calling Paul Paratore at 937-5182 or Jon Heddleston at 987-8137. The cdst is $25, which includes the premiu|n for league insurance. Both boys a£d girls are encouraged to register fqr the collegiate-style wrestling. 1 With financial help from several local sources, a used 42’ x 40’ mat was purchased from a university in Missouri. The cost was $4,900 but it would have been $7,300 new. The major contributors were the Robert M. Darby Foundation, Rappahannock Lions Club and the Rappahannock Athletic Boosters. The mat is stored at RCES and will be spread out on the fitoor of the gym there for practices to be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 to 11 a.m. Mr. Paratore and Mr. Heddleston, the coaches and organizers of the wrestling team, are very excited about this new sport coming to Rappahannock. Their plan is to have a junior varsity wrestling team in 1996, and junior varsity and varsity squads in 1997. Mr. Paratore was on the wrestling team in college, coached at Chantilly High School for six years, and is presently a physical education teacher at a middle school. Mr. Heddleston wfestled in high school and teaches English at RCHS. Over 40 eighth and ninth graders attended a recent organizational meetPaid Advertisement I would like to express my thanks to the citizens of Piedmont District for the vote of confidence on November 7th. It has been my pleasure to serve as your ' representative and / • look forward to the next four years. Thank You • • Charles K. Estes Authcaiaed and paid far by Charles K. Esina ing held at RCHS, said Mr. Heddleston, and two of them have experience from other schools. Co-ed wrestling is a fairly recent sport, and a lot of younger girls are trying out, said Mr. Heddleston. Both men said that wrestling is a very disciplined sport. “It takes tremendous stamina to wrestle. The discipline and structure can improve lives in all ways,” said Mr. Heddleston. Wrestling is one of the oldest sports. Mr. Heddleston said that the Indians and Pilgrims wrestled for three days at Thanksgiving time. Both men cautioned that the wrestling pro gram is not anything like “Hulk Hogan" type of wrestling. In wrestling, said Mr. Heddleston, a wrestler is totally responsible for the safety of his opponent. To insure the safety of the wrestlers and the mat, wrestlers should not wear a belt or clothes with pockets or a zipper. Wrestling shoes are also encouraged. They hope to raise another S3,000 to purchase uniforms, a medicine kit, cleaners for the mat, timers and score cards. Donations can be sent to the Rappahannock Wrestling Association, Rappahannock County High School, 12576 Lee Highway, Washington, VA 22747.

She said the fire hall is available for community activities but there is not much demand. Mrs. Pierce said she takes her children to Front Royal to play on the basketball courts, but they are always busy. She said it would be good if basketball courts were convenient in Chester Gap. Dr. Krebser asked if people would be willing to pay higher taxes in order to build more recreation areas for youth. Some indicated they would. Nancy Reeve said she has worked with senior citizens for 20 years and the fire departments and churches have been generous with donating their facilities. However, she said,' “The seniors need a different kind of facility, one with easy access with not even one or two stairs....Ideally we need a nice place for seniors and youngsters. When they can interact that is really beneficial to both.” Michael Soule said he lives in Sperryville and works with the Community Services Board as a senior advocate. Fie said there are 1,200 senior citizens in Rappahannock County, and the only facility is the meal site at the Episcopal Church three days a week. He said accessibility is an issue because of the stairs and the program has to move out of the church during September and October because of the dried flower sale. “I’d like to see a more permanent and accessible facility, on a full-time basis where seniors can feel it’s their own." Mrs. Kiger agreed. “We desperately need a place that is more accessible. When you see 90-year-old attendees struggling to get up stairs, it breaks your heart," she said. Robert Dennis said the county should protect its forests. He said the June flood would have been far more devastating if it had occurred in 1905 when the mountains were less forested. He suggested the zoning ordinance allow an additional house site per lot in exchange for county oversight on house location. Mr. Massie said that was an interesting concept. ► Africa From Page A-1 and factories, just like here. In Cameroon, the diversity of people is amazing.

South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington, D C Member FDIC Mr. Ngwa moved right to the students' own lives. Mr. Kengmo told the students they were all geniuses. He asked them to shout: “I am a genius!” “There is only one you.” he said. “You are unique. Nobody can replace you. You are a genius!" He extolled them to love themselves. to love the bodies they're inregardless of their color, “black, brown, white, blue, purple or yellow.” “You must respect yourself first, so that other people will respect you. You must treat people with respect, so that they will treat you the same way.” To the best of Mr. Ngwa's drums, Mr. Kengmo mimed cutting tall grass (we would probably call it hay) with a machete. When he was young, he said, he once tried to do a shoddy job of cutting the grass by simply taking a swipe at the top. But his father spanked him. returned him to the field and told him: “You will never solve ybitr problems by cutting at the top. You must go to the bottom and cut. Then you will cut a path through your grass and you will be able to walk easily through it." Mr. Kengmo said the lesson was: “Get to the root of vour problems. Bydoing so, you will cut a path out of them." He talked about respecting our ancestors — the people who went before us and cut a path for us to walk on. ' The performers made it clear that in Africa society , the older generation plays a.vital role in educating the young and that they are honored for their role. Mr. Kengmo and Mr. Ngwa ended the show by choosing about 20 students and teachers from the audience to come on stage. Some were assigned to play drums with Mr. Ngwa; others were asked to mimic Mr. Kengmo's dance routine. The auditorium erupted into movement to the sound of pulsating beats. The performers closed by asking the students to honor and to applaud their teachers “the ones trying to prepare you for your future, trying to pass on the knowledge you need to have a successful life.” The students responded with a standing ovation for their teachers. Many students hung around the stage after the show, reluctant to part with Mr. Kengmo and Mr. Ngwa. Asked a couple of days later what they liked most about the performance, students offered a variety of answers. Brian Williams, a junior, said he like learning about a culture so different from his own. Sophomore Andrew Van Horn said he though the music was the best part. Senior Serena Waddell said: “They made the whole audience feel like they were in it. They were very informative. They tried to get rid of misconceptions about Africa. They boosted our spirits by telling us that every body is a genius and that everybody is beautiful.” “It was more than I expected,” said Rosie McCloud, a freshman. “1 expected a little bit of singing, but it was nothing like that.

Day REALTOR 111 1 • APPEALING PROPERTY TAX Real estate taxes are based on brief visits by assessors, who rate the quality, quantity and condition of your property. Assessments are subjective, sometimes arbitrary, and almost certainly contain errors. If they unfairly raise your taxes, an appeal may save you hundreds of dollars — every year, for the foreseeable future. Nationwide, less than 2% of all property assessments are challenged. In the vast majority of cases, those who do appeal get their taxes cut. It's worth the effort. There is one warning, you must be careful. An appeal can lead to a new assessment, so there is the outside chance that your taxes may be raised, not lowered. If you conclude that your assessment is high, think about appealing it. Your first step is to visit your local assessor and get a copy of the report on your property. Check it for obvious errors in math, size, number of bathrooms, etc. If simple errors were made, chances are good the assessors will correct them, then and there.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News Real Estate Classifieds B Historical Society Has Many Books, Artifacts By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock \t*t Staff Writer The Rappahannock Historical Society, housed in a tiny building on Gay Street in Washington, is a cozy and interesting place to spend a rainy or snowy day. ' The society was begun in 1964, when over 50 people met at the county courthouse to organize the society. Judge Ravner Snead chaired the meeting, and William Carrigan and Mrs. George Davis helped run the meeting and explain the reasons for the forma tion of the society. The society now boasts a membership of 170 who live all Over the country, and has a dedicated team of volunteers. Cathryn Knuepfer is the librarian and curator who spends nearly every weekday at the society. She said, “We have a great interest in what goes on in the county and do a lot of service in the county.” The purpose of the society, said Mrs. Knuepfer, is to preserve the history of the county in all ways.

Information about the county dates back to the 1600’s because Rappahannock County was then part of the old Rappahannock County, Virginia. “Old Rappahannock,” said Mrs. Knuepfer, extended from Chester Gap to the Chesapeake Bay. In 1692 Old Rappahannock became Essex and Richmond counties and the Rappahannock River was the boundary between them. “Where we are now used to be a part of Essex County.” said Mrs. Knuepfer. About 1720 Spotsylvania County was cut off from Essex, Orange County was cut off around 1739, Culpeper County was cut off in 1749, and Madison County was cut off in 1792 or 1774. Rappahannock County's boundaries were set in 1833. A collection of old maps from the Library of Congress further explains the boundaries. Prior to 1966, members of the society kept documents in their private homes as there was no building for the society yet. The present building was built around 1800 and was used as the first telephone central, though it was on the lot next to where it is now. It was made from bricks made in the town, and was the Clerk's Office in 1933 and 1934. In the mid 1960's, it was moved, using rollers, to a 30' x 70’ lot donated to the society by the telephone company, which also donated the building.

Donations have helped to pay for renovations in the little building, and the upstairs is still under renovation. A few years ago there was an infestation of bats, said Mrs. Knuepfer, but that problem has been solved. During the 1970s the society was not very active, but when Howard and Helen Holschuh came to the county, they were influential in bringing the society back to life, said Mrs. Knuepfer. One thing they did was set up a filing system using the 1850 census. Mr. Holschuh is the President of ‘We have a great interest in what goes on in the county and do a lot of service in the county. ’ — Catheryn Knuepfer the society, and Mrs. Holschuh is the Secretary. She is presently doing research on war veterans. Only one person is actually employed at the society, and that is Kim Hllis. the secretary . Mrs. Knuepfer is a professional librarian and volunteered to make a working library. She said that she had plenty of help, and people donated books and gave money to buy more books for the society. "We collect whatever we can find on births, deaths and marriages,’' she said. There is plenty of colonial history, and information about wars, including the War of 1812 and the Civil War. “We have regional histories of the units that were formed in this county in the Civil War. Many from this county rode with Mosby,” said Mrs. Knuepfer. There is also information on Stonewall Jackson and Jed Hotchkiss, who was Mr. Jackson’s cartographer. There are a lot of family genealogies on file, in publications and on disk. The periodical Virginia Genealogist is available, and many old photographs are also on tile. There are always projects in progress at the society. They are almost ready to start publication of the county 's record of cemeteries. The cemetery committee, headed up by Frances Thornton, has located well over 100 old field cemeteries, and documented them with photographs and written information from the headstones. Many graves are marked only with field stones with no name or date. One interesting thing discovered during the cemetery search was that many children died in 1862. Mrs. Knuepfer said that must have been due to cholera, measles and typhoid. The society has an index of the cemeteries by surname. Once all the information is entered into the computer, a publisher will be decided upon. Birth records date back to 1833, with some missing around the 1850’s. They also have names of slaves on record before emancipation. Rappahannock is one of two counties in the state that have records of marriages that were required by the Freedman’s Bureau, said Mrs. Knuepter. She said the Freedman’s Bureau was set up so that freed slaves could take their place in society. I , Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan The Historical Society building is one of the town’s oldest. The society also houses some oral histories on tape and has slides of old houses and churches. There is also extensive information about the Shenandoah National Park, and a map from the Corps of Engineers. The map shows what families owned what land before the land was taken for the park. Because Washington’s bicentennial will take place in December. 1996, the society is working on the history of the town. They have minutes from the tlrst board of trustees’ meeting (similar to the Town Council). Mrs. Knuepfer said they are trying to get together enough information to make a pamphlet. If anyone has old photographs or other information from the town, the society would appreciate seeing them. They are also always on the lookout for photographs of old houses. The society is always looking for new members. An annual membership for one person is SI5 and is $20 for a family. Research fees are $2 for 1 1/2 hours, or $5 for all day, free for* members. The society charges $10 for an initial overv iew of what they have, and $6 an hour past that, for actual research done by one of the members. The Rappahannock Historical Society is located next to the Rappahannock Medical Center on Gay St. in Washington. They are open 9 a m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by appointment.
