WILLIAMS III Capital News Service Local school boards have until July 1 to decide whether parents will have to request that their child receive or not Receive counseling. In a 5-4 vote, the Virginia Board of Education on Jap. 19 delegated this decision to local school boards rather thaft to die state. As the policy stands now, parents must notify their child’s school in writing if they do not want their child to be counseled. But soon school boards will have to choose between an “opt-in” or an “opt-out” policy. Few parents previously opted out. “It will probably bring renewed discussion of counseling before school boards,” said William C. Bosher Jr., •superintendent of public instruction for the Department of Education. After two years of study, he said, board members reached a reasonable conclusion. “They took a very balanced approach and decided that communities across Virginia are very different,” Mr. Bosher said. “They decided that it was a local issue — I fully agree with the decision.” James P. Jones,, president of the State Board of Education, who voted for the measure, said he thinks it will increase parental participation in children’s education. “We prefer the action of the board to what might have happened,” said Robley S. Jones, president of the Virginia Education Association. ■ t The VEA president, however, said with the opt-out policy, students who need counseling — specifically those from troubled homes and those who are abused — will suffer the most. But James Jones said he thinks the opposite will happen. “I think it will protect counseling,” he said. “I think that it will help students because it protects these vital services.” Both Mr. Bosher and the education board president pointed out that certain provisions allow a school to counsel an opt-out student if the parent repeatedly does not respond to a school’s request to counsel or if there is suspicion that a child is being abused. .. .. . r ’ > Rappahannock New* Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Visiting priests, family and friends helped Father Albert Verbecke celebrate his 50th anniversary in the priesthood Saturday at St. Peter’s Church outside Washington. About 200 parishioners and friends joined a solemn mass in celebration of Father Albert Verbeke’s 50th anniversary as a priest at St Peter’s Church in Washington last Saturday. The chief celebrant and Jubilee homolist was the Rev. Joseph La Pauw, superior of the U.S. province of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The con* celebrants were William Ruehl, dean of the Piedmont region and pastor of St. John the Baptist Church in Front Royal and the Rev. Leo Zonneveld, pastor of the Church of the Precious Blood in Culpeper, the ’ . >' \ '% % !' < 'V4*t muifoi HilttlM flu iiBlwiiwUMIMft* mother church of St. Peter’s. The Rev. Robert Timperman officiated as master of ceremonies. Also in attendance in the sanctuary were six other priests from neighboring parishes. The parish choir provided festive music led and accompanied instrumentally by Scott, Kathy and Rachel Tester. Father Verbefce was ordained a priest in the missionary Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Maty' in Brussels, Belgium, on Jan. 27, 1946. He was sent to China to prepare for a lifelong ministry as a missionary, but ' « y-y ***■$ aatMMMNiawikMiMMMaitH'*mm*mii*im+*i*m**mimm*}*ii**t*ti**M*im04ii^ had to leave when the communists came to power. Assigned to Missionhurst in Alexandria, he has continued working in Virginia ever since. Former parishioners from Louisa and Madison counties as well as friends from Missionhurst joined the celebratory mass. Also joining in were a niece, nephew and Godson from Belgium who flew in for the 50th anniversary mass. Following the mass a reception was held in the parish hall during which an illustrated plaque dedicating the hall to Father Verbeke was t uMM.i.iiafcltirtrUi i*ll nilrtl iMmi iMMli ■in ki( .. i.hi ..... Katzen Eyes f Lt. Gov. Nod Jones Enters Race By JAMES MCMAHON Capital News Service RICHMOND — After completing one term and starting another in the Virginia General Assembly, Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, seeks a new challenge. When Del. Katzen stood in front of more than 500 Republican political activists at the Republican Advance oii Saturday in Richmond, he announced his candidacy for lieutenant governor in the 1997 elections. '■* Despite getting a late start, Katzen vowed to crisscross the state once the assembly session ends on March 9. “I’m told I got a late start in this campaign,” Del. Katzen said. “Maybe so, but I had a lot to do to this point and will continue to focus my efforts on our legislation. “If an early start has produced the squabbling we now already have — over a year before the selection of our nominee — maybe I haven’t missed much.” ' * ‘ After referring to the recent bickering between two other lieutenant governor hopefuls, John H. Hager, a Richmond businessman, and Coleman Andrew in, a McLean businessman, Del. Katzen told the audience that he would continue his quest to keep big government out of the lives of Virginians. He also renewed his support for charter schools, 4 major issue he fought hard for — and lost — last year when it never left the committee. The assembly, however, did call for a yearlong pilot study to be conducted on the issue. “There’s nothing new about my positions. I’ve always had them,” Del. Katzen said, adding that he sees an opporT tunity for the charter schools bill to move through this year’s assembly. “I really feel that there is gathering support for the leg-; islation. The support is there. This is another innovation that is being offered, and I think that the youngsters of Virginia deserve that chance.” The study completed by a bipartisan assembly panel recommended that school boards with the support of the community be allowed to establish autonomous charter schools. The panel also recoimh&nded that the board have .’ ’■ &'J| - See Katzen, Page A-6 iSi m -'—— ~— Schools Snowed Out m The number of Rappahannock public school days missed ^ because of bad weather ' peaked in 1994.

BZA Delays Hearing Case By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals agreed to postpone hearing a request for a variance from setback requirements until a February meeting. At last Wednesday’s meeting, chairman pro-tern Jennifer Matthews noted that there were only three mem- y, bers present, and all three would have to agree to the variance for it to pass. State law requires that. She informed the applicant, Lynn Sullivan, that she might have a better chance of having her application approved if the two other members were present, since the requirement would still be three votes in favor. Present for the meeting were Sid Gottlieb, Louis G. “Butch” Zindel, and Mrs. Matthews. Alex Sharp missed the meeting because of a family medical problem, and Martin Woodward was absent on business. Ms. Sullivan seemed reluctant to request the delay arguing that her case seemed routine. The three present said they did not feel it was routine. A new hearing on the variance has been scheduled for Feb. 21. Ms. Sullivan said her job is in New York. She said she lives in Rappahannock but is rarely here. William F. “Yogi” Bear Jr. and his wife Karen had come to the meet. ing to oppose the variance. They live in Chicago but kept their house here when United Airlines moved him to Chicago. Ms. Sullivan was requesting a variance because she has built a deck and stairs on to her house which infringe on the required setback. The neighboring Bears maintain that her house was already in violation of setback requirements and the situation should not be made worse. At the Feb. 21 meeting the board will also elect officers and approve a budget. i .a. ■*•■**>■* T-v' • • f* • '• --.f:**?■+£ ■;&' •$< 7 , ,y.;r*t. •> ;s^r$v>» ■'•'&%7JT-- ^ m More Toll Free Calls Coming SCC Approves Rate Increase for Service Sprint/Centel customers in Washington and Flint Hill with 675 exchange telephone numbers will be able to call Front Royal,1 Huntly and Chester Gap 636 and 635 numbers toll free starting Thursday, Feb. 15. Those in Chester Gap and Huntly will also be able to call the county seat in Washington toll free starting on that date. The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has approved an Extended Local Service (ELS) plan between the two exchanges. ELS increases the cost of basic telephone service while eliminating toll charges on calls between the affected telephone exchanges. Residential customers in the Washington exchange with single party, flat-rate service will pay an additional $3.08 per month once ELS is implemented. Front Royal exchange customers with like service will see a monthly increase of 88 cents. Washington exchange customers petitioned the SCC for ELS last summer. * This change leaves only a few Rappahannock residents with Fauquier County telephone numbers unable to call their county seat toll free. Toll free calling from Washington and Flint Hill to Amissville, Culpeper and other parts of the county with Culpeper numbers was added recently. This additional $3.08 will be the second rate increase in two years for those with 675 exchange numbers.

Library Honors Jamiesons By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board hosted a party for Mary and James P. Jamieson Thursday evening, honoring their many contributions to the library over the years. Mrs.. Jamieson stepped down from the Library Board in December after serving for 10 years. She also served as a member of the board from 1970 to 1982, for 11 of those years she was the board’s chairman. Mr. Jamieson founded the Friends of the Rappahannock Library and was the driving force behind raising funds for the new library building.

Arrest Required for Domestic Violence By AMY DREWER CapM Newi Service RICHMOND — Law enforcement officers throughout the state will be required to make arrests in family violence situations if this year’s General Assembly approves the proposed legislation. The Commission on Family ; Violence Prevention endorsed the statewide mandatory arrest policy following an appeal from Attorney General James S. Gilmore III, chairman of the commission’s Law < Enforcement Subcommittee. ’ “This is an important first step,” Mr. Gilmore sajd. “We’re either going to make it, or we’re not going to make it right now.” Sen. Kenneth W. Stolle, RVirginia Beach, an attorney, former police officer and commission member, said he supports the mandatory arrest policy. Yet he said it could put the officers in a tight spot because the proposal calls for police officers to file a written report when they believe assault and battery occurred. “Are police officers supposed to go to a scene where one person reports an act of family violence 48 hours ago with no evidence?” Sen. Stolle asked. “Please don’t ask police officers to do something they’re not going to do or are not trained to do.” Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr., who supported the proposal, stressed the “chilling effect” the mandatory arrest policy would have on the abusers. Another'commission recommendation involves establishing a statewide network to track child welfare records from city to city and county to county. To do this, a protective-order registry would be set up for the state police and the Virginia Supreme Court to record transactions such as an adoption or placing a child in a foster home. The network recommendation occurred following a subcommittee’s recent study involving the case of Valerie Smelser, the 12-year-old vie tim of chronic abuse whose nude, emaciated body was found last year in a ravine in Clarke County. Members of that group found the state lacking a child-protective services system for tracking abuse. The commission endorsed several other recommendations: • The creation of a resource guide foi"magistrates, clerks of court and court services to assist in victim referral and outline warning signs of family violence; • The inclusion of an anti-stalking law in magistrate training; and • The creation of a community planning guide to provide localities with information about establishing coordinating councils to address family violence. Although some commission members voiced concern about the staggering amount of funding necessary to implement the policy, Mr. Gilmore said he plans to continue pushing for the mandatory arrest legislation even if legislators drag their feet in allocating the funds. Estimated figures show it would take $4 million to $5 million annually to increase victim services such as shelter space and hot lines. An additional $4.9 million annually would pay for 162 additipnal prosecutors, paralegals and court secretaries. Moreover, the state would need to hire 329 additional deputies and police officers at an annual cost of $7.3 million. Sen. Janet D. Howell, D-Reston, chairwoman of the commission, said statistics show family violence is a state and national issue in need of great attention. For instance, 17.4 percent of homicides in Virginia in 1994 involved victims who were family members or the boyfriend or girlfriend of the victim. About 38,000 women and children received services through spousal-abuse shelters. “Virginia is no exception,” Sen. Howell said, “except that Virginia is trying to solve the problem.” Flood Damage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Floods Jan: 12 caused by rain combined with snow melt undid much of the repair work in Harris Hollow that had gone on following the June floods.

Bailey Takes on Washington Baptist By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahaanock News Staff Writer The Rev. Phillip Bailey is settling in as the n?w pastor at the Washington Baptist Church. What was, supposed to be his first Sunday preaching to his new church turned out to be the Sunday of the blizzard. Services at Washington Baptist were canceled, and Rev. Bailey joined four others in a worship service at Trinity Episcopal. Seeing the town under a blanket of snow, he said, was “like a Currier and Ives painting.” Rev. Bailey is here alone during the week. His wife Karyl is working on completing her training as a registered nurse. She expects to finish in May, and then she will join him. Until then she tries to get to Rappahannock on weekends, but her hospital work RappahMiock New* Staff Photo by Sharan Kilpatrick Rev. Bailey enjoys the simple beauty of the sanctuary. sometimes keeps her at home in Waynesboro. The Baileys have two daughters. Leah is a freshman at James Madison University. Lauren is in 10th grade at Waynesboro High School. Rev. Bailey said she may continue to attend Waynesboro after this year because she is very involved in the music program there. She could live with a family from his former church, he said. Rev. Bailey was an associate minister and minister of education and youth at First Baptist Church in Waynesboro. Thpre he met Steve Scoggin, a former pastor at Washington Baptist, who is directing a counseling center housed in the church. Rev. Bailey said he was getting more and more into programming at the church and was interested in getting back “on the pastoral side.” Rev. Scoggin knew of his interest and the vacancy at Washington Baptist and encouraged the search committee and Rev. Bailey to get together. He found the church very welcoming. “It is a little warm and caring church,” he said. “I’m looking forward to trying to increase the local ministry, to develop our outreach to the community more, and I hope to do neat things with our local youth here.” He is impressed with the beauty, of the countryside and the Town of Washington. He said he also appreciates the strong support for the arts in Rappahannock and he is interested in learning local history. He said he is also looking forward to doing trout fishing and hiking. Rev. Bailey said he is also impressed with the ecumenical spirit among county churches and is looking forward to taking part in the Lenten dinners and programs at Trinity that are jointly sponsored by Trinity, St Peter’s Catholic Mission, the county Methodist Charge, Washington Baptist and Reynolds Baptist. He said the church was well served by its interim pastor David Small who took over when the Rev. Darrell Bare left and the planning and evaluation work that went on while Rev. Bare was at Washington Baptist. “I will be looking at that and reevaluating it. I am impressed with what they have done already,” he said. Rev. Bailey received his training in the ministry at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C. His undergraduate work was at Lynchburg College in his home town. Before going to Waynesboro he pastored churches in Weems, near Kilmarnock, and in Rustburg near Lynchburg. Shadow Puppet Presentation Successful By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock Ncwi Contributing Writer About 20 percent of Rappahannock’s public school students — mostly eighth graders and third graders — were treated last “Wednesday to a shadow-puppet presentation by David Wisniewski from Maryland, who is a professional puppeteer and creator of children’s books. The younger students saw a show that entranced them with its action, mystery and special effects — all accomplished via the dark outlines of cut-oufe figures emanating from an overhead projector behind a white screen. The show was like a good Disney cartoon, except more moving and exciting by being created on the spot. The older students were taken behind the scenes and shown how to invent a shadow-puppet show themselves. In presentations to four classes, Mr. Wisniewski showed how to snap the silhouette of a handsome prince against your head (put velcro on the cardboard head and wear a velcro headband on yours) so that you can portray the prince in your shadow-puppet story. He showed how to make realisticlooking scenery using nothing more than ripped pages of colored paper. By seemingly simple shifts of cut-out cardboard, colored tissues, and distance from the light source, Mr. Wisniewski made earthquakes strike, beanstalks grow, and night turn slowly into day. “You want an exploding planet?” he said. “Just throw an Alka Seltzer into water on top of a blue back Mediation Class Offered - • The Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center, a Piedmont United Way Agency, is offering a 20-hour basic course in Mediation and Conflict Resolution Skills.

It was like being told the tricks of a magician after enjoying the show. Mr. Wisniewski himself is clearly a man of multiple talents, able to change his voice and persona at will, to teach children, and to write wondrous books, illustrated with his cutout paper figures. Mr. Wisniewski’s visit to the schools was courtesy of Rappahannock’s Curriculum Enrichment Programs, funded mainly through private donations and administered entirely by volunteer parents. So far this year, the curriculum Enrichment Committee has brought in a bluegrass fiddler for elementary school workshops and an evening square dance; two performers from Africa who left students so inspired, they have repeatedly requested their return; a jazz ensemble that took high schoolers on a musical journey through Latin America; the Interact Story Theater, which did languagedevelopment workshops for prekindergarten and kindergarten students (including those at the Child Care and Learning Center); and Sharon Wyrrick, who did a popular movement workshop for first-graders.

Mr. Cooper, 56, was recently appointed to the position by Chief Circuit Court Judge W.S. Robertson. As chief magistrate, Mr. Cooper is responsible for the supervision of all magistrates in the 20th Judicial Circui^. which includes Rappahannock with two magistrates, Fauquier County with four and Loudoun County with four. He is also responsible for the. initial training of magistrates, scheduling and budget preparation, and he occasionally, acts as an intermediary between other magistrates and judges. Chief magistrates are usually appointed to four-year terms, but Mr. Cooper’s initial term, which began Jan. 1, will last two years to complete the term of retired chief magistrate Frances W. Eldred. Mrs. Eldred, who was chief magistrate for the 20th Judicial Circuit for the past 10 years, resigned the position effective Nov. 30 to work full-' time on Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern, a restaurant due to open in her horqe in Washington this winter. Mrs. Eldred had; been appointed to the full-time job of chief magistrate by former Chief Circuit-Court Judge Carleton Penn. Prior to that she served as' a magistrate in Rappahannock County starting in 1976. Mr. Cooper lives in Warrenton. “I’m just getting my feet wet,” he said, noting that his responsibilities as chief magistrate are quite different from his previous responsibilities.in law enforcement. “There’s quite a bit to get used to.” The law enforcement community reacted positively to Mr. Cooper’s appointment. “Having been in law enforcement for so many years he’ll have firsthand knowledge of the problems the officers have to face on the street,” said new Loudoun County Sheriff Steve Simpson. “Those years of experience will benefit him greatly in his role as chief magistrate.” Mr. Cooper noted that his responsibilities are to the citizens of the district as well as law enforcement. “I’m looking forward to doing all I can for the citizens of all three counties,” he smd. , oir- .1 t .4 - t let UDOT 3) O' B 2 ^ O o « -a a •a 'IX a d 0) 5 O e c o va 3 a o </> </) (/) (0 a a -a a) c/> o a o ( a Saoe xiits farmlands TUJO MEETINGS THAT UJILL AFFECT QUA COMMUNITY FOA YEAAS TO COME!

Sperryville is and long has been a tourist destination. Tourists are not going to stop coming to Sperryville merely because a new road makes it easy to continue on to Culpeper instead. Nor is U.S. 522 going to become a major truck route so long as the towns along U.S. 29, such as Culpeper, Warrenton and Madison are bypassed to the east. Warrenton, of course, was originally bypassed to the west, but Fauquier County and the Town of Warrenton allowed the bypass to fill up with shopping centers, car dealerships and fast food businesses, making that useless as a bypass. The result is the new eastern bypass. • Rappahannock County does not intend to make the mistake made at Warrenton. The bypass of Washington has not become cluttered with commercial development. The county will not allow commercial development to follow a Sperryville bypass out of the village. • Mr. Fletcher’s suggestion at the Planning Commission’s public forum that a bypass would lead to Sperryville losing its post office was pure demagoguery. The route to the Shenandoah National Park through on U.S. 211 would remain unchanged. The bypass is intended for U.S. 522, not 2il,.With,the suspension bridge near the Jixxon station approaching the end of its useful life, particularly for carrying trucks, alternatives to a bypass are disappearing. With through traffic removed from Sperryville, it will be a more pleasant place to shop and visit. The town’s economy is indeed fragile now. A bypass that took through traffic out would enable the vHlage to recover and become a place to live as well as a place to shop. !' Two issues- are of primary importance in considering a Sperryville bypass. The first is seeing that it is indeed a bypass for U.S. 522, not a plan to move more traffic onto Route 231, a designated scenic highway. The second is seeing that it keeps the village intact rather than cutting a part of it off from the rest. The Jamiesons Naming the community room at the county library the Jamieson Room was wonderfully fitting. - It is impossible to calculate all Mary and Jamie Jamieson have contributed to the growth and success of the library over the years. Certainly the very existence of the new building for the library on the edge of town is due to their efforts. Mrs. Jamieson has been a tireless worker on the Library Board. She has enthusiastically backed all efforts to increase funding for the library and all library fund-raising campaigns. Her championing of county produced performances of H.M.S. Pinafore as a fundraiser led to the revival of theater in the county. Her support for the Super Flea Market as a fundraiser led to the current Fourth of July street fair on .Washington. [ Mr. Jamieson founded the Friends of the Rappahannock Library organization that continues to greatly enhance library offerings. He took on responsibility for fund raising for the new building, and as a result the county has a debt-free library. • His efforts and advice have led to an endowment fund that rejluces the costs to the county to operate the library and guarantees that funds will be available for future expansion. • The remaned Jamieson Room will serve to remind future county citizens of the debt the county owes this remarkable couple for their magnificent contribution to county life. 0 Grateful Patient To the Editor: As we work our way through these months of heated political debate over what role government should play in our lives, it is a pleasure for this politically-moderate, 85-year-old, senior citizen to point out, with appreciation to all of those involved, an instance of private enterprise and government working effectively together to solve an emergency situation. While this is a very small example of what can happen, it has undoubtedly happened many times to others in our county during our recent snow emergency. After being snowbound for six days last week, I suddenly realized that my supply of blood pressure pills was exhausted. A call was made about my dilemma to the capable staff of the Rappahannock Medical Center. When they were told that we were snowed in, the Center staff promptly said not to worry that they would get the needed medicine to me. When reference was made to the fact that Oventop Mountain Lane to our house was blocked by snow and ice they said they would get it to me if they had to have it walked in. A few minutes later a call came from the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office to advise me they were going to deliver the medicine. Right after that came another call, this one Deputy Williams stating that he was on his way, but exactly how would he get to our house. Again the warning about the snowbound road with his repeat not to worry “we’ll get to you somehow.” But how? 1 wondered. After making a big pot of hot coffee and putting film in my camera to record this event, there cam a knock on our door and there was Deputy Williams, smiling broadly, with my medicine. When I inquired how he got to the house he pointed to our parking area whelre one of those remarkable Army Humvees was sitting, with its powerful engine running quietly, and with two cheerful National Guardsmen in its operating seat. Competent and confident they appeared. Inquiry identified them as Staff Sergeants Michael Funderburk and Robert Kinnear of Fort Belvoir. All of this happened in less than two hours. I believe this letter speaks not only for the Herndon family but also for those many others in our county who have undoubtly been so ably served, particularly in emergency situations, by members of our Rappahannock County Medical Center, Sheriff’s Office, our volunteer fire and rescue services, and, in some important times, with help from our National Guard, as in this referred-to incident. JANE and MAURICE HERNDON Sperryville Disappointed Reader To the Editor: I was very disappointed to read the editorial in last week’s paper. I’m sure there’s always room for improvement, and I have had my complaints with VDOT on occasion, but in this instance, instead of criticizing, I would like to commend them for their long hours of hard work as well as their fast response time. Considering the fact that we had blizzard conditions, snow drifts throughout the county that were in excess of 10 feet, and this area was declared a state of emergency, I feel that someone was on the ball during these shifts that lasted from 12 to 24 hours each. There are many people that 1 have spoken with that feel the same and are appreciative of a job well done. We could have been the other Washington which from the news coverage, seemed not to fare as well as our county did. Thank You for your efforts. BEVERLY S. ATKINS Washington Givers Thanked To the Editor: There are not enough words to express the depth of thanks we felt at the "Love Offering” for our family in this great time of need. We want to thank every one incldtiing the many who gave hugs and sent cards and made wonderful food. We can’t thank you all enough for your support while Mom is so ill. JANET (PETERSON) BAT1S and ROBERT PETERSON Washington Oijr Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan s* One tractor moves* six large hay bales for hungry cattle in Harris Hollow. Let's Bypass Sperryville Bypass To the Editor: There will be a VDOT meeting concerning the Sperryville Bypass Study on Monday, February 12 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School auditorium. I want to encourage every citizen to participate and voice their opinions on the bypass. My wife spoke with Bob Moore, the VDOT resident engineer, who stated that if citizens come to the meeting and strongly oppose a Sperryville bypass, VDOT could drop plans for the bypass study altogether. You may bring written statements, have your voice recorded at the meeting, or you may write your views on forms provided by VDOT. I am against the Sperryville bypass. The motivation for this project has not come from any needs within the county but from the outside. Futuristic planners want our county as a corridor for through truck traffic. The bypass would allow through truck traffic to maintain higher speeds. Much of Virginia has already been spoiled by the lust for larger highways with higher speeds that bypass Virginia’s heritage. For me this has made driving these highways tedious and uninteresting. Rappahannock County is different. The small roads wind through the farmland dotted with small stores and historic homes. This is why I live in this county. A bypass of Sperryville would put the county on the road to ruin. We would create another anonymous road going through spoiled countryside. A bypass would also greatly impact the merchants of Sperryville. Visitors, unfamiliar with the roads may avoid getting off the main road for fear of becoming lost. Those who did want to stop would be inconvenienced by having to get off the main road which would tempt them to stop elsewhere. u id waiaiiiuuud 11 uui tuuui) dcid a precedent of allowing outsiders to come in and build new roads, not allowing county taxpayers to determine their own future. If we do not stand up and make ourselves heard, others will come, build or widen more roads with our tax dollars and devastate our beautiful county.. You won’t have to live in Sperryville to be affected by a bypass. A bypass would encourage largerscale development of the area and an increase in traffic all along our other roads and through the other villages. We live in the greatest democracy in the world. Exercise your rights. Stand up and be heard at the meeting on February 12. It is easy to be too busy and nobody has enough time, but if outsiders start carving up our county for through traffic we will have only ourselves to blame. LYLE ALEXANDER Woodville VDOT Confusion To the Editor: First of all 1 want to state that I support your editorial on Storm Cleanup in the Wednesday, Jan. 17, 1996, edition. There is little doubt that there is a serious lack of communication and supervision in our Maintenance Headquarters, VDOT. The following are examples of what 1 personally witnessed during the past two weeks. On Tuesday, Jan. 9,1 contacted the VDOT headquarters to inquire about road openings in Gid Brown Hollow. I was informed that heavy equipment was entering the hollow from Harris Hollow and Routes 522/211, and that the hollow would be open on this day.At approxoimately 3:30 p.nt. it was reported that a loader had just passed the Sam Snead property on Route 614 heading west, however it never reached the end of the route on this day. On Wednesday morning, Jan. 10,1 once again contacted VDOT and asked when the road would be opened, and was informed that the road was open. I informed the gentleman that I reside at the end of Route 614 and had first hand knowledge that the road was not open. His reply was, “We send out contractors to these areas but they never report back to us so we assume they have completed the work assigned.” Another response given by VDOT to one of my neighbors was “the contractor went as far as he thought the route went and stopped.” In this case he fell about one and one half miles short. The people residing in this area wonder what the contractor saw in the road to make him think heVas at the end. The road was finally opened at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 10. On Friday, Jan. 19, I contacted VDOT in the morning to inquire about the flooding of Gid Brown Hollow. I was informed that it was flooded and impassable. At approximately 2:30 p.m. I once again contacted VDOT to get an update on conditions was informed they did not know what conditions were and that they had trucks out but did not know where they were. Having already contacted the Sheriff’s Office who had no knowledge of the conditions, I informed VDOT that I guess I would have to investigate the matter myself. With that the gentleman replied, “If you find out anything we would appreciate you letting us know, whereby we can inform other people.” It is pretty obvious that VDOT supervisory personnel do not have control over their personnel and contractors, the work they are performing, their location, nor the hours they are actually working. I feel VDOT headquarters should have radio contact with all employees and contractor personnel at all times, and know their whereabouts. Supervisors should check the progress of work being performed and upon completion for satisfactory results. JOHN W. PULLEN Washington Democratic Response To the Editor: Throughout the elections of 1995 you struck a nice balance by allowing virtually equal space in support of the ■> candidates of both parties. I hope yoft-* will do the same as you receive antf? print Delegate Jay Katzen’s “Report,, from Richmond.” * ' As a member of the Democratic Committee in Fauquier County, I think we Democrats deserve equal space to give our views on Delegate Katzen’s reports and activities, just as President Clinton’s weekly radio broadcast is' countered by an immediate Republican response. TvJ Locally, it would be fairest if bothLj the reports and the responses to them * were to be printed in the same issue sof that concerned citizens could compart* their substance. And it would be best if the response were to come from the • Rappahannock Democratic Committee since the majority votQ itj* Rappahannock went to th£ Democratic candidate, Sue Scheer. In the absence of such an arrangement.. however, I hope you will print mj responses to Mr. Katzen’s Report. This year, Mr. Katzen’s first report places little burden on the respondent. By quoting Governor Allen, he seems to promise rational scrutiny of government expenditures and, in a round-u about way, seems to express and/ understanding that he was elected to represent his constituents. Rather than promising to kick his opponents’ teeth down “their whiny throats” (last” year’s Republican platform). He himself does a little whining about com-" mittee assignments. But between the * lines one can see that he knows thfe” Speaker of the House is well within his rights under the current rules1/1 Indeed, we see no hint that those rules1 would be changed under a Republican majority. N Our delegate encourages us all to--" visit him in Richmond but does notC invite us to hear him and the other people interested in being the/ Republican candidate for Lt,. Governor when they speak at a Republican gathering later this month1 or to visit his hospitality suite that, according to the Northern Virginia Daily of Jan. 16, will be set up on that occasion. On one hand, that may be because he is slightly embarrassed to” be seen to be starting his next campaign for higher office one month into ; his new term as delegate. On the other hand, it would be the first time any- ' thing ever embarrassed Mr. Katzen. It is impossible to reconcile Mr. Katzen’s newfound realization that he was elected to represent his constituents with his apparent zeal for higher office. To gain that office he will have to serve masters outside the 31st District. We may all be assured' that Mr. Katzen will not be embarrassed to do that! , J.M. STONE Bealeton Editor's Note: The Rappahannock __ News does not plan for any regularly published response to Del. Katzen s weekly reports from Richmond but wel- > comes letters in response from readers.' Report From Richmond f By DEL. JAY KATZEN Last week, I submitted two budget amendments, along with Delegate Andy Guest, to allocate an increased amount of funding to the Fauquier Campus of Lord Fairfax Community College. One amendment will allocate $250,000 of core funding for additional instructors, while the other provides additional monies, approximately $12 million, for the construction of new facilities on the campus. I was elected by my colleagues to head the Shenandoah Valley Caucus in the House of Delegates: The group, which includes delegates Andy Guest, Beverly Sherwood, Glenn Weatherholtz, Steve Landes and Senators Emmett Hanger, Russ Potts, and Kevin Miller meets weekly to discuss and address issues and concerns relevant to our region. / I am pleased to participate in the overwhelming support given by both the House and Senate for the reappointment of 21st Circuit Court , Judge Shore Robertson of Warrenton. A very encouraging charger school dialogue took place on Monday before a House Education subcommittee between educators, students, and legislators.

Boys' Varsity Teafn Is on a Winning Roll By ALLISON LOFTON Rappahannock Ncwi C ontributing Writer The Panthers had two astounding wins this past week, knocking the first and second-place teams in the district down a notch. On Friday they beat the Brentsville Tigers 88-83, end on Monday they downed the George Mason Mustangs 77-70. Varsity Coach Eugene Baltimore was ecstatic at the end of both games. “What can I say? The kids never gave up,” he, said Friday, “I told them that if we played four quarters of basketball then we would win. I’m real proud of each one of them. The kids were making good decisions and playing real hard.” Mr. Baltimore viewed Monday as a replay of Friday, adding: “They just kept fighting and fighting and kept the momentum up.” The lead scorer for both games was Jon Butler, who has been showing off his true colors lately by making multiple inside and outside shots. Other high scorers were Willie Eastham, Jeff Atkins, Tommy Settle, and Chris McLear. Throughout both games, each side fought for retention of the ball. Shots for both sides were going in, with the Panthers getting most of the rebounds. In both games the fourth-quarter was the most intense part. Shots were more frequent, the crowd got into it, and the players really picked up the fight. In the middle of Friday’s game, co-captain Jason Brown injured his knee. He wais sidelined for the game Monday. It is uncertain when he will be able to play again.

The Panthers led through most of the game but were down at the end of the third quarter. During Friday’s game the score was tied at the end of the fourth period, so four minutes were added to the clock and a heated overtime was played. The stands were packed both nights with cheering, clapping, stomping Rappahannock fans. The JV dropped both games, losing to Brentsville 47 to 38 and to George Mason 50 to 47. Jason Baldwin came down to the floor in a crash with 25 seconds left on the clock at the end of the George Mason game. He stayed on the floor for quite a while and was attended by Dr. Brooke Miller before being carried off. Athletic director Mike Tupper said he rolled an ankle that had already been taped, and they did not want to risk further injury. On Tuesday nobody knew how soon he will be able to return to play. The Panther JVs led throughout the first two quarters and carried a 24 to 16.lead into halftime, but George Mason picked the lead apart in the third quarter which ended with Mason up 39 to 35. Rapp struggled back in the fourth quarter, even holding the lead briefly, but could not prevail. Coach Luther Stanley was not discouraged. “They came out in the second half and out hustled us,” he said. “We didn’t pick up the slack on defense.

Estate Aids Library i ; By SHARON KILPATRICK IUpp»bmmclt New* StaffWriter The permanent funds of the county library have been increased by more than $57,000 thanks to the estate of the late Anne Phelps Lane. ; Mrs. Lane left 5 percent of the residue of her estate to the county library. The First Chruch of Christ Scientist in Boston, the endowment fund of the Christian Science Monitor and Principia College in Illinois were also beneficiaries of the estate. I The residue consisted primarily of real estate in Florida. It took nearly three years for the estate to be settled.' At last week’s Library Board meeting, board members said James P. Jamieson was primarily responsible for persuading Mrs. Lane to consider the county library in her will. Mrs. Lane and her husband William N. Lane purchased several thousand acres in Rappahannock County as well as Madison and Culpeper counties during the 1960s calling the large holdings Eldpn Farm. Much of that land is still owned by Lane Enterprises. The permanent funds of the library are invested and income from them is used to operate the library. A portion of the permanent funds is invested for growth, to take care of future capital needs of the library. The Library Board reelected its officers for another term: Roberta Anderson, president; E. Franklyn Warner, vice president; John Hartline, secretary, and Helen Platt, treasurer. Librarian David Shaffer reported that the Friends of the Rappahannock Library had offered to donate a computer for use in the staff room. He said with the new computer the one in the reference room can be available for Internet searches and work .process ing by patrons. Information on library staff will be taken off that computer and will only be on the one in the staff room, he said. Mr. Shaffer said the Friends had , also offered the library the newest edition of Books in Print on CD-ROM. ] He said the Friends had decided not to have a book sale before July 4. . , The library was able to open the Thursday after the storm, but was closed the following Friday because i of flooding in the county. It feopened i on Saturday. Mr. Shaffer said Betty Smith and Stella Clark put in extraor- | dinary efforts during the storm getting books to patrons who couldn’t come to the library and working even when the library was closed. The board will approve a budget for next year at their February meeting. ► Katzen From Page A-l he power to close the schools if they don’t perform at the expected standards. Del. Katzen promised to take his :ampaign and his issues to every part >f the state while offering no extravagant mailings but basic .grassroots ;fforts. “I’m running to govern with the disenfranchised and our leaders alike — from Southwest, Southside, the Galley, the Piedmont, the Tidewater, Nlorthem Virginia and Richmond,” he said. “In every sense mine is a candidacy of the people.” “With the trust — but without a lost of handlers and cellular phones — in my 1984 Olds with 344,000 niles on her speedometer, I’ll soon be setting out across the commonwealth,” Del. Katzen said, “to visit :very town, every house, every farm, svery factory and every store I can get o just as I have in my previous camjaigns.” In addition, Mr. Coleman and Mr. ■lager addressed the estimated 500jlus crowd, and like Del. Katzen they /owed to continue the downsizing of state government while pledging their support to James S. Gilmore’s expect ed gubernatorial campaign. The GOP’s afternoon session provided a surprise when Gil Davis, a Northern Virginia lawyer for the controversial Paula Jones, announced his candidacy for attorney general. Ms. Jones, a former Arkansas state employee, has accused President Clinton of making unwanted sexual advances toward her while while he governor of Arkansas and has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Mr. Davis repeatedly attacked President Clinton, as he alluded to using his client’s case against the 'president as the cornerstone of his campaign. Besides Mr. Davis, Sen. Kenneth W. Stolle of Virginia Beach and former U.S. Attorney Richard Cullen are seeking the Republican nomination for attorney general. Jim Clark Is Finalist James S. Clark IV, an RCHS senior, was named one of 40 finalists in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. He will go to Washington for final competition on March 11. Finalists will share in $205,000 in award money. -- By DIANA CORBIN and CECELIA DENNIS Rtppikamfock News Contributing Writer* Great things have been going on at RCES since school was able to resume after snow and Christmas holidays. Mr. Way’s 5th grade Social Studies classes have been studying colonial times, and they had an old fashioned quilting bee. He taught them how to sew by hand, using fabric cut into 7 by 7 inch squares the students brought from home. They made two large and one medium size quilt. Thirty students worked on the quilt at a time during three class periods. That’s fast work! The students learned how to sew and that the colonists used all their available resources; nothing was wasted. The quilts will be on display in the main hall. Please look for them. Mr. Way said the students would like to donate the two larger quilts to an organization that might use them or give them to those who could use them. If you have any suggestions » please call Mr. Way. All the sixth grade classes have been busy preparing for the Literacy Passport tests. The math test will be A area code | ^1*1 land then | V-/ some. 540, it’s time to use it. Some things change. Some things don’t. And as of last Saturday, Virginias western and northern regions officially changed to.the 540 area code. You should use 540 now (except for local calls), and if you haven’t told all your potential callers, please do it now. Cost haven’t changed. Local calls are still local calls, just like before. And your monthly cost for service hasn’t changed. Why a new area code? when you think of all the new phone numbers we need in Virginia - for fax machines, cellular phones, pagers, computer rriodems, new and growing businesses, it’s easy to see how an area code can “fill up.” Bell Atlantic wants you to have the best service possible, and planning for even more growth by assigning a new area code is just one way we do that. Don’t wait. Use the new area code - 540 - now. And reprogram any special routing equipment like PBXs, speed dialers, modems, or fax machines. For more information call 1-800-672-2628. Or visit our Home Page on the Internet at http://www.bell-atl.com.

The third graders were treated to a puppet show given by David Wisniewski. This program was originally scheduled for the eighth graders only, but Mr. Wisniewski had some free time and it fit in with the third grade pull out time. So they got to see his show. This program was funded by the curriculum enrichment program and was enjoyed by everyone. Mf. Wisniewski is a children’s author and illustrator, and works with shadow puppetry. He explained how he was able to get his book published and explained show puppetry. Student government has been reborn at RCES thanks to Miss Tower, Ms. Stanley and Mr. Smith. In years past (many years past) the school had a small student government council composed only of seventh grade officers. This year RCES has seventh grade officers and representives from each classroom who attend the meetings and report back to the classes with information. This year’s officers are: President, Vernon Smith; Vice-President, Dana Caldwell; and Secretary, Jenny WflfprQ The first meeting was held last Friday. The students brainstormed ideas about what they could do to improve the school or their community. They determined what areas they wanted to work on first and set their agenda, according to Richard Smith, Assistant Principal. The students werle very serious and gave the meeting their full attention. Mr. Smith said he was very impressed. ! , As always, please keep us informed about the news at school. ► Jamiesons | • * ■ ' y* From Page A-i library on one side and the new orije on the other. In further recognition of the Jamiesons’ efforts on behalf of thp county library the meeting room wijl be napied the Jamieson Room. The Jamiesons received a plaque seating that the board had voted to take this action, signed by Roberta Anderson, president of the Library Board. She said that a sign will later be placed over the door. During Thursday night’s party several people recounted their experiences with the Jamiesons over the years. They moved permanently fp Rappahannock County in 1967. Grace Sims told about meeting Mrs. Jamieson when she was working on the “Super Flea Market,” -a fundraiser for the library started in 1972 which grew to become the Town of Washington’s Fourth of July street fair. In 1981 Mrs. Jamieson was named the Virginia Library Association’s Library Trustee of the Year. - Mrs. Sims said that under Mrs. . Jamieson’s tenure as chairman the library grew from 255 patrons to 965, from a total circulation of 1,928 books for the year to 11,250 and from being open 12 hours a week to 49. In 1979, Mrs. Sims said the library risked losing state and federal funding because more local government support was needed. Mrs. Jamieson organized an effort to get the Board of Supervisors to contribute the difference. Mrs. Anderson told of working with Mrs. Jamieson in getting the new building built. “She was quite one persistent lady, and it paid off,” she said. She said it took the combined efforts of the Jamiesons to get the funds raised and the library built. Mrs. Jamieson said, “The best thing I did for the library .was to recruit Jamie.” She said at one point she urged him not to try to solicit for the library at a social gathering because she was afraid they would lose all their friends. “He was there making people very uncomfortable but it paid off,” she said. Mr. Jamieson said, “I appreciate the many years of wonderful association with the library and being able to see what the work has done.”

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31,1996 afto JlMVJ Homemade Soup Satisfies Winter Hungers By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The next time the big snowstorm hits, make sure to have ingredients on hand to cook up a big pot of satisfying and “stick to your ribs” soup. . Many soup ingredients are staples kept in the kitchen anyway, such as potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and dried herbs, which can be used to make your own stock or add to the soup itself. Homemade stock is one of those items which can really make a soup special. Canned broth is okay, boullion cubes could be used in a real pinch, but homemade stock is easy and economical to make. It makes sense to make a large batch at once and freeze some for later. A vegetable stock, for example, needs nothing more than some chopped onions, carrots, celery (including the leaves), water, and a little salt to make a savory stock addition to your soup (see recipe below). Chicken, meat and fish stock recipes call for bones to further flavor the broth; recipes can be found in almost any general cookbook. One good thing about soup recipes is that some of the ingredients can usually be interchanged, especially in a vegetable soup. Whatever is on hand goes into the simmering pot on the stove, with each addition contributing to the overall flavor. One method which I use to thicken a bean or vegetable soup is to puree about one-third of the finished soup in a blender and add it back into the soup. Doing this with a soup which includes beans or potatoes makes it especially thick, so just puree a little at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. For me, making soup is a thoroughly satisfying and relaxing experience. Chopping the vegetables, is one of the joys of cooking, and for a soup they usually don’t have to be cut uniformly. Use your creativity and experiment with different sizes and shapes. Try chopping carrots or celery on the diagonal, or try bigger chunks, like would be found in a stew. Over many years I have compiled many of my favorite soup recipes, from cookbooks, newspaper articles and still others of my own invention. Here are a few to keep you and your friends or family warm in the kitchen and warm at your dinner table during the next snowstorm or on a cold day. French onion soup is one of the most fulfilling and aromatic soups. From neighborhood bistros to 3-star Michelin rated restaurants in France, it is a mainstay of the French menu. The following recipe, from Mastering The Art of French Cooking, Volume I, by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck, is my favorite recipe for onion soup, and it is hot difficult to make. It has been reprinted with permission of the publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Soupe A L’Oignon (Onion Soup) 1 1/2 lbs. or about S cups of thinly sliced yellow onions ^ 3 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. oil 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. sugar (helps the onions to brown) 3 tbsp. flour 2 quarts boiling brown stock, canned beef bouillon, or 1 quart of boiling water and 1 quart of stock or bouillon ■ 1/2 cup dry white wine or dry white vermouth Salt and pepper to taste 3 tbsp. cognac Rounds of hard-toasted French bread 1 to 2 cups grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese In a heavy bottomed, 4 quart saucepan, cook the onions slowly with the butter and oil, covered, for 15 minutes. Uncover, faise heat to moderate^ and stir in the salt and sugar. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions have turned an even, deep, golden brown. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 3 minutes. Off heat, blend in the boiling liquid.4* Add the wine and season to taste. Simmer partially covered for 30 to 40 minutes or more, skimming occasionally. Correct seasoning. . Just before serving, stir in the cognac. Pour into a soup tureen or soup cups over the rounds of bread, and pass the cheese separately. • * I have found that using 1 quart of boiling water and 1 quart of Campbell’s canned beef stock works beautifully in this recipe, though of course homemade beef stock could be used. Mushroom, Potato and Kale Soup 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 1/4 cups minced onion 1 clove garlic, minced or put through a garlic press 1 stalk celery, chopped 1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped into small pieces > 11/4 lbs. potato, diced 1/4 lb. kale, chopped into small pieces 1 tsp. dried thyme 6 cups vegetable stock Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish In a large soup pot, saute the onion and celery in the olive oil over a medium high heat until softened, stirring frequently. Add garlic and stir for a minute. Add mushrooms, and saute until they release their juices and turn a dark brown. Pour in the stock, turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes to the pot, and turn down the heat so the soup is boiling slowly. When the potatoes are done, sprinkle in the thyme, and add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 1/2 hour. Add kale 15 minutes before serving and stir well. Puree from onethird to one-half of the soup and return to soup pot. Pour into bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve. Hearty Bean and Vegetable Soup 1 1/4 cup dry navy beans 4 cups water 2 smoked ham hocks 4 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahai) Homemade bean and vegetable soup make a hearty and satisfying meal. t 1 stalk celery, sliced 2 carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced thinly 2 medium onions, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced or put through garlic press 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1/2 tsp. oregano 1/4 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper 2 tbsp. tomato paste 1 lb. can whole tomatoes 3/4 lb. cabbage, chopped into small pieces In a large soup pot, either soak - the beans overnight in the water or bring to a boil for two minutes and set aside for one hour. Add ham hocks to beans and water, bring to a boil and simmer for ’ 30 minutes. Add three cups water, vegetables, garlic, herbs, parsley, salt and pepper. Simmer for one hour. Add tomato paste and tomatoes; simmer 15 minutes. If needed, add more water at any time. Remove ham hocks and set aside to cool. Add cabbage and simmer until cooked through, from 15 to 30 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut off meat from ham hocks and add to the soup. Vegetable Stock (To make 5 or 6 cups) 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups onion, roughly chopped 1 unpeeled potato, roughly chopped \ 2 carrots, roughly chopped 1 stalk celery, roughly chopped A few sprigs of parsley 1 tsp. black peppercorns 1 tsp. salt 2 1/2 quarts water Saute the onions, carrots and celery in the oil for about five minutes. Add salt, peppercorns, parsley and potato. Pour in the water and stir well. Bring to a boil and boil gently for one hour. Strain. This stock should be used within q few days or frozen for later use.

Nimrod had been having difficulty with arthritis in his back legs, and with the help of acupuncture and an herbal supplement to his food called Limber Horse, it is evident to his owner, his vet, and his farrier, that he is doing much better. After first loosening up^Nimrod’s spinal cord by doing network chiropractic, which is a very light touch on different points on his back, Nimrod’s eyes began to close slightly, and he appeared to be very relaxed. Dr. Harman inserted six acupuncture needles into Nimrod’s back area and injected each with a shot of vitamin B-12, which stimulates the acupuncture point. Nimrod relaxed one of his back legs immediately when one of the needles was inserted. She said that about 80 percent of the horses she treats like the needles. Dr. Harman explained that paths of energy run through the body like an electrical system and that there are acupuncture points through the pathways where there are nerve endings and cells at one point. She said it is like a dimmer switch, and when the acupuncture needle is inserted, it opens that pathway of energy (like turning the dimmer switch on to brighten the light). She said the flow of energy can actually be measured with an ohmmeter. After inserting the needles. Dr. Harman stretched the horse’s legs, one by one, and moved them in circles to limber them up. Nimrod was visibly very relaxed and calm. The final part of his treatment (and the most fun) was doing “carrot stretches,” where Dr. Harman would hold a carrot while standing by his back end and Nimrod would twist around to the side to get the carrot. This was repeated on the other side, and also in the front, where Dr. Harman would hold the carrot near the ground and Nimrod would bend his head down in order to reach it. Dr. Harman believes in treating her patients as a whole, which is the main idea of natural healing. She said that most of the people who have her treat their animals consider their animals as part of their family. Treating with homeopathic medicine takes more effort on the part of the animal’s Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Dr. Harmon works on stretching Nimrod while his owner, Val Higginson, watches. owner because the medication or herbs are given over a longer period of time than traditional Western medicines. Most forms of homeopathic medicine can treat chronic problems such as back pain or skin problems, said Dr. Harman. The concept, she said, is to give a small dose of a compound which triggers the body to heal itself. “The best medicine is whatever works and is the least invasive to the animal at that time,” said Dr. Harman, which can mean surgery in some cases. She treats several dogs with homeopathy medicine and herbs, though she directs some patients to Dr. Scott Dove, another vet who lives in Rappahannock, but has an office in Gainesville. Hip dysplasia is a common problem with large or older dogs, and Dr. Harman treats that successfully with a series of acupuncture. “It is really rewarding,” she said. Another service which Dr. Harman offers is computerized saddle fitting. It measures the pressures underneath the saddle while on the horse’s back, she said. She compared a bad saddle fit to a person wearing shoes that do not fit. “People want to buy saddles that fit them but they do not realize how important it is for the horse,” she m Dr. Harmon inserts an acupuncture needle. added.. But more people are now becoming aware of this. With the help of a computer, it is possible to see just what happens when the saddle is on a horse. It also shows which pads do or do not work. Dr. Harman is one of a few veterinarians in the country who treats naturally; she is an expert on the subject and has written many articles for national magazines. Last weekend she was one of fqur vets to put on a program at the University of Pennsylvania vet school. She hopes to soon begin her own magazine, entitled, “Holistic Care for All Animals.” In 1990, after working in England, Ireland, Switzerland, and New Jersey and studying sports medicine, shei opened her office, Harmany Equine? Clinic, Ltd., upstairs from Peter Kramer’s showroom on Gay Street.' Her phone number is 675-1855. She lives in Hint Hill with several horses and her constant canine companion Rosie.

Grandmother’s hands are wrinkled and< veined - they tell us about kneading bread...and praying. An old man s hands are gnarled and crippled, crossed on a cane, waiting. Praying hands, working hands, little hands, old hands all grapple with the problems of life. Some problems are too great to solve alone. It takes a helping hand...outstretched to your hand.
