School Board Cuts $120,000 Administrative, Teacher Jobs Axed In Proposal By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board approved cuts of nearly $120,000 from the proposed $6.36 million budget Tuesday following a joint meeting with the Board of Supervisors. In presenting the budget. Superintendent David Gangel said he was requesting an increase of $339,200 from local tax funds. With the cuts that will be about $219,200. Most or the supervisors did not indicate any particular amount they wanted cut saying they would need to see the rest of the county budget first. However, Jackson District representative Ron Frazier suggested major cuts including proposed raises for teachers and all other school system employees and increases for health insurance. Mr. Frazier also recommended that teachers who live outside Rappahannock County no longer be allowed to send their own children to county schools tuition free. He said he had received a call from a constituent who said teachers were asking for raises when he had l^t his job. “There is a lot of pain out there that doesn’t seem to be reflected in the budget,” Mr. Frazier said. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said, “If the School Board and Dr. Gangel feel like you can make cuts to help us out, we’ll appreciate it. It’s not going to be easy this year, and it’s not going to easy next year.” The School Board made cuts after the supervisors had left the meeting. The largest cut made comes from eliminating the position of director of administration. The board agreed to replace that position with a “classified employee.” The savings will be approximately $30,000, Dr. Gangel said. About $25,000 will be saved by offering stipends for extra classes rather than hiring a teacher for additional Spanish and art classes. About See Budget, Page A-6 PEC Board Seeks To Promote Preservation, Farming By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer During the second half of a Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) board meeting at the courthouse on March 8, a public session was held and two men spoke about subjects relevant to Rappahannock County. The meeting was held as part of PEC’s effort to be more involved with the nine counties in the PEC region. David Brown, Executive Director of the Preservation Alliance of Virginia, handed out booklets produced by his organization, “Virginia’s Economy and Historic Preservation: The Impact of Preservation on Jobs, Business, and Community.” He said that preservation is about building communities, the relationships with people and the creation of jobs. One item that he pointed out from the booklet was that “In the past ten years, twenty small Virginia ‘Main Street’ communities with populations under 50,000 have seen over $54 million of private funds invested in the rehabilitation of over 1,600 buildings,” resulting in new jobs and new businesses. He claimed that historic preservation visitors visit more places and spend over twice as much money as other visitors to Virginia. Also, property values have risen in areas that have been historically preserved, he said, and esti mated tourist dollars in Virginia is $423 per trip for historic; preservations visitors and $180 per trip for other visitors. Hunt Harris said that there is a renewed interest in looking at historical buildings in the area, including the old mills in the county. Chip Planck, a successful farmer from Loudoun County, said that right now there are a lot of full time farmers in Virginia, and that there are people who are looking for produce that is local and of many varieties. “There is unlimited potential and space to grow stuff around here,” he said, adding that he believes there is a demand for farm products from our nine-county area. Mr. Planck said he knows people who are making a living on 20 acres; his family does it on 50 acres. He said fanners have to take over some of the middleman’s functions in order to get a good return. Direct income support to the fanner does not seem the way to go, he added. He believes that the kinds of farms that can support themselves would grow vegetables or fruits and do direct marketing, such as the pickyour-own apple orchards. These types of farms could sell from April to November and save money to live on during the rest of the year. PEC board member Hunt Harris mentioned a couple of farms in the county that are doing this — Goat Hill Farm and Jordan River Farm. A representative from Goat Hill Farm said that people are starving for local produce. Heidi Eastham of Flint Hill said that she is producing some speciality foods, one of which is a dill pickled white asparagus. John Thro from the Middleburg area said that agriculture is also an economic problem. “We need to promote agriculture; we need to identify the good agriculture land,” he said. We need to show them they (farmers) can make money, he added. Mr. Harris and Mrs. Eastham have been discussing the possibility of a label for agricultural products which identifies them as being from the Piedmont area.

Council Debates Alcohol Use in Town Hall By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Washington Town Council agreed to wait until the April meeting to take a vote on whether to allow alcoholic beverages to be served at events held in the Town Hall. Member Ray Gooch said he had asked to have a discussion of the issue placed on the March agenda at the request of owners of bed and breakfast businesses who said they might be able to host small conferences for people who would meet at the Town Hall, eat at local restaurants and stay in their rooms if alcohol could be served in the Town Hall at the end of the business meetings. The council’s policy for the use of the hall includes a prohibition on serving alcohol. Mr. Gooch said more events would be held in the Town Hall if that prohibition were lifted, and the town could recover some of the cost of maintaining the building. C. E.“Skippy” Giles whose house is nearby said, “I don’t want alcohol served here.” Mr. Gooch said when the building was a library there were functions when alcohol was served. Mr. Giles said he was also concerned about parking problems. “That is an issue, but it is not related to alcohol use...If the use of the building creates problems for residents, we can take that into consideration in the future,” Mr. Gooch said. Council member Peter Skowronski said it could lead to use every weekend. Mr. Gooch said he did not think it would lead to such frequent use. Member Charlie Tompkins said he wanted to hear from more residents. Diane Bruce said, “1 have a basic phU losophy about government offering a place for people to drink.” She said she was on the committee that developed the policy on the use of the building and alcohol was a concern so the committee recommended a 'impolicy that precluded serving alcohol. “The county doesn’t open the Courthouse for that poupose. What will end up happening is it will see increased use and more income for the council,” she said. However, she added, “There will be more expense for maintenance and repair.” She said the council will have to hire “maintenance personnel. I hope the council will carefully consider whether it wants to add that provision.” Mary Ann Kuhn said there are receptions held in the U.S. Capitol and the Smithsonian museums. “It’s a beautiful See Council, Page A-6 Dentist Relocates to Office on Main Street V • By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dr. Neil Mayberry has the distinction of being the only dentist with an office in Rappahannock County. He has had a practice in the town of Washington for 16 years, at various locations, and on the first of March moved his office to a building on Main Street, in between Porter Street and the Foster-Harris Hoitse. Most recently he had an office in the medical center in Washington. Dr. Mayberry’s main practice is located in his residence on Main Street in Luray, where he sees patients Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and every other Saturday. At his Washington office, he sees. patients every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and every other Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “I don’t think this county could support a full time dentist, so f think this arrangement has been good,” he said. He said he really likes the community and people here and that there are a lot of very interesting people in this county. Sometimes, he said, he spends a lot of time talking with his patients and does not get a lot of dentistry done. His wife works as his receptionist and office assistant in the Luray office in between cooking and taking care of their children, but here in Washington he takes care of everything himself, answering the phone and working on patients. Having the Luray office in his home works out very well, he said, because they still have two children at home — a daughter who is a senior at Luray High School and a son who is in the 9th grade. They also have a 20 year-old son who is in his sophomore year at William and Mary. Dr. Mayberry graduated from the MLv School of Dentistry in 1979 and opened his practice that summer. He does everything in the dentistry field except orthodontics (braces). To make an appointment, call 6753530. If he is not in the Washington office to receive the call, the call is automatically forwarded to the phone at his Luray office.

i Quilters Make Bears, Ouilts for Children By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer Last week the Extension Quilters’ group presented the Sheriffs Office with 18 child-size quilts and 13 fabric bears. These will be kept on hand to give out to children who have suffered some sort of trauma to provide a sense of relief and security, said Sheriff Gary Settle. According to Major Rick MacWelch of the Sheriff s Office, this program has been in place in Fauquier County for several years. He recalls a little girl in Fauquier whose leg had been severed by a lawn mower. He gave her a bear to take her mind off the leg. She had the bear named by the time she got to the hospital, and even took it into, surgery with her. Recently a young girl at the elementary school had a serious medical problem and Major MacWelch responded along with CPR trained personnel at the school and the Washington and Sperryville rescue squads. Major MacWelch gave her a bear and blanket which he still had - from his previous job in Fauquier. - When she was leaving in the rescue squad vehicle, he said she “had a real grip on that bear; her knuckles were white.” The children are invited to keep the bears and quilts. The quilters’ project began when Sheriff Gary Settle asked Maybelle Gilkey, who is a member of the quitters’ group and is his mother-in-law, if she knew who might be able to make the quilts and bears to give out to children who needed them. She asked her group and they responded enthusiastically, and produced the quilts and bears in about a month. This is one way to have the community more involved with the Sheriff’s Office, said Sheriff Settle. “We are concerned about the community itself, not just the law enforcement part,” he said. Both the sheriff and Major MacWelch had this program in their prior jobs and felt it was one they would like to see ifi Rappahannock. Quilter Betty Smith said that much of the fabric was donated by Mary Simmons of Rush River Gallery, as she had a supply of quilting fabric. Katherine Riley, another quilter, also donated a lot of the fabric. The quilts are of many different designs, some appliqued and some patchwork, some done by hand and some done on a sewing machine. All of them, though, have been lovingly made by members of the quilters’ group, who worked on them in class and at home.

Schools Join National TV-Turnoff Week By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Life without TV, or even videos? If you think it’s impossible to imagine, much less to try, you would probably find it inspiring to hear Ramona Raines Pence speak. She’s a mother of three, a fifthgrade teacher and a minister’s wife, who has made it her mission to spread the word about what TV is doing to Americans and what we can do about it. “Television is reflected in our children’s dress, attitudes, talk and behavior,” she says. “Yet many individuals and families feel powerless to control what they and their families are exposed to in the media.” Mrs. Pence will be sharing her ideas on how the residents of Rappahannock County can gain control over TV in a two-hour workshop at Rappahannock County High School beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 13. • She’s from Rockingham County, but has led such workshops around the country since 1977. She is the sister of RCHS principal Jack Raines, so she’s donating her time to the county. Mrs. Pence’s workshop will mark the beginning of three weeks of local activities leading up to the second annual National TV-Turnoff Week, April 24-30. ■ Rappahannock County and its schools did not officially participate in the first annual National TVTumoff Week in 1994, but more than one million Americans did, including the students at 4,000 schools across the country. The sponsoring organization, TVFree America in Washington D.C., received letters from about 10,000 people who praised the benefits they discovered in their no-TV week, BREEDEN’S PLANT HOUSE Cabbage, BroccoliHOURS Cauliflower < 8 AM-6 PMj Lettuce, Violas DAH V Pansies 4-Pack 89$ Primrose • Hanging Baskets • Herbs • Azaleas • Rhododendrons Evergreen Shrubs • House Plants » Geraniums riONS: From Speeryville.uke Rt. 231; ) miles, turn left on 642, go 1VI mile*. 540-923-4381 PICCADILLY LTD WEDGWOOD* CHINA 30% OFF Dinnerwarc, Gifts, Jasper Through March 30 80 MAIN STREETWARRENTON 347-S300 including more family interaction and community involvement. “This campaign seems ideally suited to our county,” said Sharon Wyrrick, this year’s artist-in-residence at RCHS and the lead organizer of TV-Turnoff Week in Rappahannock. “We still have strong families here, and we still believe in our community. Most residents do all kinds of volunteer work, whether it’s for the church, fire department, animal shelter, library or something else. “A week without TV will give us a chance to reflect on the impact it is having on our lives and will let us decide whether we want it to have such a big impact,” she said. “It won’t be a week of sacrifice,” she added. “It will be a week of fun. niisi'PK >\ si *i:i\c;s di;sh;\s Florofgx Wire Service Weddings, Parties, Balloons, Commercial Services 5W.

Ms. Wyrrick says she would appreciate any help anyone cares to lend toward supporting National TVTumofT Week. Last year, many U.S. communities wove together support from local businesses (offering prizes for classes with the highest participation), libraries, service organizations, environmental groups (local cleanups were popular that week) and churches, whose ministers often took up the topic of TV’s impact on civility and morality.

Frangelina Lopez was last seen Tuesday at the Howard Johnsons at Route 10 and 1-95 in Chesterfield County. Frangelina Lopez was convicted of grand larceny and welfare fraud in Rappahannock Circuit Court and sentenced to eight years in December, 1994. The notice from the State Police described Frangelina Lopez as a 5foot 8-inch white male with bleached blond hair and brown eyes. The notice further stated that the escapee may be posing as a woman and has been receiving female hormones “for some tim. ” A 13 year-old boy was suspended from Rappahannock County Elementary School last Wednesday for bringing two knives to school. The student is suspended pending school board action, according to School Superintendent David Gangel. One knife was a Swiss army type knife and the other was a small two bladed knife. Sheriff Gary Settle anticipates that the student will be charged with bringing the knives on school property. A letter was sent out to p'arents of RCES students from Principal Raye Tupper and Assistant Principal Richard Smith last Wednesday. In part, it said, “Today at our school we discovered that one of our students had two knives in his possession. They were not used to harm anyone, however this is a clear violation of weapons policy and we must take this very seriously. We have two students to thank for our discovery of the weapons. These individuals told their teacher about the weapons, enabling our staff to act quickly. We want to emphasize how important this type of good citizenship is as we work to maintain a safe environment for the children in our care. The Sheriffs Office was called. The matter will be handled as a law enforcement issue and a school discipline situation.” Sheriff Settle said that the Sheriffs Office has obtained statements from Richard Woodward of Remington, who will soon be charged with passing many bad checks in the county. Mr. Woodward has allegedly written several checks on a closed account from Central Fidelity Bank in Culpeper. An attempted burglary was reported at Richard Dols’s house on Route 616 in Castleton. Missing was most of the liquor from four different bottles.

We have to make decisions, and they are sometimes painful. Nevertheless, there are ways to increase the chance that your news will get into the paper. ‘ If you want the paper to cover your event, try to let us know about it well in advance. Try not to schedule it for a Tuesday or 'Wednesday, and try not to schedule it at the same time as another ;major event. Certain weekends, particularly in the spring and fall are loaded with events which stretch the abilities of our limited staff. If you are going to report on the event, we normally have to have your report by noon on Tuesday, and earlier is better. We can take news directly from a computer disc if it is written on a word processing program our computers can read. If that is not possible, double spaced typed news is easiest for us. Handwritten material must be readable. If you want a photograph to be included, go ahead and get your film developed and give us the color print. Almost no photo shops will process black and white film any more, but we can print a black and white image from a color print. This means that you cannot wait until after Christmas or Easter to finish the roll of film, so we suggest you get short rolls of film, rather than 36-exposure rolls. If your camera prints the date on the fjlm, turn that feature off. ! There is never any charge for putting news into the paper. Advertising ^s completely separate from news coverage. It is best k> give some news directly to our community correspondents whose reports appear regularly in the inside pages of the Second section. \ , I The Community Calendar on page A-3 and the Upcoming Events column on page B-3 are separate. If you want your event to , appear in both, we should receive two listings. The Community Calendar is limited to what, when and where and to events that occur in the county. Upcoming Events usually contains a short paragraph for each event. ; The Rappahannock News welcomes suggestions'from readers about what news should be in the paper. We want the people of Rappahannock County to feel that this is their paper. Often when people wonder why something was not in the paper, the answer is simply that no one at the paper knew about it Ballet Coming To the Editor: Those of us who love dance are lucky to have the Richmond Ballet performing again at the Fauquier High School Auditorium in Warrenton at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 23. If you’ve never seen ballet, here’s an opportunity to experience a performance by a top notch company. We saw them here in 1994 and 1995 and thought the dancers and the choreography were easily the equal of other companies we’ve seen in D.C. Tickets are inexpensive at the door and dirt cheap if you buy them in advance. (For information, call 347-5121 or 349-2591.) Our thanks to Moving Arts, Inc. for arranging for this appearance. How sad it will be if more people don’t take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy a wonderful evening of dance. SUE KARP Hint Hill English Also Strong To the Editor: Earlier this week, an English teacher at RCHS politely suggested to me that my article on Jim Clark, the Westinghouse finalist, in last week’s Rappahannock News had been unfair to RCHS’s English department. The article said that Jim had felt his instruction at RCHS in writing, particularly grammar, had been weaker than his instruction in science and math. I replied that I had simply reported Jim’s views, not necessarily my own. But she pointed out that, regardless, readers were left with an unfavorable impression of RCHS’s English instruction. Prompted by this conversation, I decided to see whether the 14 RCHS students who scored above 1200 on their SATs in the last year displayed a large difference in their verbal and math abilities. If RCHS were weak in English, I figured it would show up as weak verbal scores in this group. The result? The 14 students averaged 626 on the verbal part of the test, 652 on the math part. In other words, it looks as if the English department is justified in feeling unfairly represented. On the average, RCHS’s high-scoring students are almost even in their verbal and math abilities. BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Laurel Mills Soup Label Success To the Editor: Recently Carol Nowakoski, RCES physical education teacher, packed and shipped over 28,000 (That’s Right!) Campbell’s soup labels and assorted UPC codes and lids to The Campbell’s Redemption Center. In exchange for these, Rappahannock County Elementary School will receive over $500 worth \ Creature from under the Lagoon liner at RCES? - A *-\ ^ .. and what monster are you building in the sandbox today, Johnny?"

It should arrive before the end of this year. I know that you must find this as impressive as I did. Throughout this year volunteers have been saving, clipping, counting and sorting in an effort to contribute in some way to our expanding P.E. program. We are extremely grateful to everyone who participated. Whether you have children in the public schools or not, you can help our children in this simple way, as well. We are continuing to collect labels for the remainder of this year, which will go toward our collection effort next year: If you cannot physically volunteer at the school, you can still assist our schools by saving General Mills boxtops (redeemed for cjish for consumable art supplies), Giant and Safeway receipts (to support various PTO projects), and, of course, Campbell’s soup labels. Just send them in with any student that you know, or drop them by the school office. -Great things are happening in our .public schools in Rappahannock. With your help we can make those great things even better. For more information on our volunteer program, please call 987-8259, and leave a message for me. I will gladly return you call. JAN MAKELA Volunteer Coordinator Community Helped To the Editor: On February 16-18, Boy Scout Troop 200 of Flint Hill, had the opportunity to host the Winter Camporee for the Shenrappawa District at Lake Arrowhead in Luray. Even with the cold temperatures, 4 degrees when we awoke on Saturday morning and wind chills during the night well below zero, a very memorable time was had by all who braved the elemfents to attend. As Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 200, I would like to thank the volunteers from Rappahannock County who helped make this weekend a success. Sincere thanks goes to Ellen Manson, Wayne Wilson and Frank E. Huff of the Flint Hill Fire and Rescue Company for their help with the first aid stations. Thanks also to Sheriff Gary Settle and Major Rick Mac Welch gave a very interesting talk on hostage situations. Captain Jeff Brown helped with the behind the scenes coordination for a successful weekend. It takes a community of concerned volunteers to help our young boys grow into the men that we would have them to become someday. Troop 200 had the pleasure of placing 2nd in the First Aid competition. Congratulations, boys! JIMMY S. JOBACK Flint Hill Bypass Canceled To the Editor: A recent response to the Rappahannock League for Environmental' Protection (RLEP) from Donald Askew at the VDOT regarding the Sperryville bypass said, in part: “The Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission have forwarded to us resolutions asking that VDOT postpone or cancel planning for th^s project. In addition, 76 of 80 respondents opposed any further activity in this area. “Accordingly, we have recom*.. mended to management and Mr. Bill Roudabush, Commonwealth Transport tation Board member, that all VDOT planning activities be canceled.” We want to thank the citizens who turned out for the meeting, expressed their concerns, and had an effect bn this decision. Now is the time for our community to start planning so that, we can determine our own solutions to~ future traffic and growth issues. MARC MALlk President, RLEP ■Li I Cleanup To the Editor: The response from concerned citizens to the upcoming clean-up effort in Chester Gap on May 4th has been fantastic! No doubt the response will produce action when it comes to! “walking the talk” about cleaning up the headwaters of the Rappahannock River. ; In the meantime, it is impossible* not to notice the large volume of trashy along primary and secondary county* roads. I would encourage county citi- « zens, especially those groups and indi~* viduals who have “signed-on” to tfie - adopt-a-road pick-up program, organize “spring cleaning” efforts* before new undergrowth and snakej’ make this task more difficult.

KILPATRICK A couple of months ago 1 remarked that my cabinet was well filled with Horrid Examples of English usage, and I asked readers to send me a fresh supply of Good Stuff for a change. You responded with such enthusiasm that I now have a nimiety on hand. ? (A reader sent me “nimiety” in July. I had never met the noun before in my life, and I have been hungering for a chance to use it.) me nooa oi cuppings nas neen immensely gratifying. The writing art, as it is practiced in American newspapers and magazines, is neither dead nor dying. Yes, some papers are poorly edited; and, yes, some reporters have a terrible time with grammar, syntax and spelling, but there are plenty of good writers out there. This was how Robert D. McFadden of The New York Times began a weather story; “After six weeks of languorous winter, the first big snowstorm of the season roared across the Northeast with a vengeance Saturday, obliterating the region under accumulations 6 to 16 inches deep and turning the day into a hardship for some and a magical adventure for others. “As if making up for lost time, the storm — a comma-shaped Northeaster, 300 miles across — barreled up the Atlantic seaboard and transformed landscapes from Virginia to Massachusetts. It disrupted air, rail and highway travel, knocked out power to thousands, closed business es, flooded low-lying coastal areas and shut down all but emergency government services.” And yet, the writer continued, “there was a rare beauty in the day: trees laden with snow like studies in black and white, drifts swirling-into Art Deco shapes, ice crystals frosted on a pane like tiny ferns.” What makes that passage so satisfying? It tells the story simply. The writer employed strong verbs and kept them as parallel as railway tracks. His sentences were long, but they possessed a perfect clarity. His comparison of ice crystals to tiny ferfts gave us a vivid simile. Good stuff. Other neat similes have been rolling in. In the Binghamton (N.Y.) Press & Sun-Bulletin, Kevin Maney covered an exhibition of personal computers. He wasn’t much impressed: “The show was about as exciting as watching beans soak.” Kimberly Leach, a staff writer for the Vero Beach (Fla.) Press-Journal, wrote a feature story on an otter that wandered into a lagoon by a miniature golf course. The owner had stocked the lagoon with goldfish, but the fish “are dwindling in number like M&Ms in a candy bowl.” In the Atlanta JournalConstitution, columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson commented that “summer heat is like a good marriage; the longer you stay in it, the more comfortable you get.” Some of the best writing in the land appears in Sports Illustrated. In July, Rick Reilly wrote about the time ! he played (of imagined playing) a | wicked 17th hole. After a good drivq, J he punched a five-iron toward the 1 green. “And though 1 never saw it ■ leave the club, it felt as soft as forgot-1 ten margarine.” An editorial writer for The Wall I Street Journal took a sardonic look at J regulations intended to compel banks | to make risky loans: “Money, of; course, flows around regulation like 1 water around rocks.” In a piece appearing in the Rocky Mountain News in June, James Lileks flayed the United Nations. “As is \ apparent in Bosnia, the United Nations couldn’t take a water pistol away ffotn | a sleeping 3-year-old. The only thing they can occupy with any degree of success is office space.” In the Birmingham (Ala.) News,. Michael Gordon wrote an anniversary! piece on Harper Lee’s novel, “To Kill! a Mockingbird.” The novel “turns 35 ' this year, yet it is as fresh at its core as | a newly picked peach.” My nimiety of Good Stuff (1 love that word!) includes a shaft at author' Pat Conroy. Writing in Time magazine, R.Z. Sheppard remarked that i Conroy “has thrived by writing in the! fust-person portentous.” 1 wish t‘d 1 thought of that. , | Please keep me supplied wifhj dated and identified citations. Dr ridicule poor writing is good fun, buf to praise the Good Stuff is pure joy. Copyright 1995 Universal Press Syndicate ZZ

He said 28 boys came out for the tciam and he kept 20 including three eighth graders who are not eligible to pjay but are practicing with the team, preparing for next year. !; He has enjoyed working with Sheriff Gary Settle as assistant coach. “Our coaching styles fit like hand and glove,” Coach Hackney said. “We work hard at the fundamentals.” He said his team has done a lot of its practice in the gym, and they have emphasized conditioning with the boys.

I have put the parts in play sooner than I anticipated because they picked things up real welL It’s real important for them to come together and play as a team. They need encouragement.” He said pitching and the infield will be the team’s strengths this year. Besides Willie Eastham he expects to use Jon Digges a lot at the mound. “He’s a real fireballer,” Coach Hackney said. Softball team Coach Carl Payne is also excited about his team’s prospects. He said 18 players came out, and he kept all 18. His team has six ninth graders, five sophomores, four juniors and three seniors. “We’ve got a pretty good mix, and they are fairly young,” he said. “It is possible one or two freshmen will be starting.” He said he expects a strong offense, especially at the start of the lineup. “We’ve got good speed, and they’rd hitting good,” he said. His biggest concern is pitching. Kylene Wolfe will be the starting pitcher. “If she pitches up to her potential we’ll be all right,” he said. Kati Paratore will be the back up pitcher, and Angie Atkins will be the catcher. He said his goal for the season is to be one of the top four teams in the district to qualify for the tournament. “If we can open the season with a couple of wins, we’ll have a good season.” The baseball and softball seasons will begin with away games at Central Friday and Strasburg Monday before the home opener next Wednesday against Page County. 19.99 SELECT JUNIOR CHALLIS DRESSES The definition of spring style from Ulterior Motives: soft challis dresses.

► Budget From Page A-I £21,600 will be saved by reducing the French teacher from a full-time to a half-time position. Dr. Gangel said, “We have an excellent French teacher, but French has not been very popular since Spanish was introduced.” He said he would like to con‘tinue to offer a second language but the numbers of students could not justify a full-time position. Another $20,300 will be saved by Teplacing one of the speech therapists ■with a teachers’ aide. Other cuts -include $8,000 for additional instructional materials, $2,400 for teachers to attend conferences, $8,800 for purchasing library books, $1,500 for enrichment programs, just under $1,000 for the technology teacher to work an additional five days making plans for next year, and $1,000 to rent graduation gowns and caps so elementary school teachers can participate in the high school graduation. The increased funding for libraries was added to the budget because federal funding for school libraries has • been eliminated. !*• Dr. Gangel said the only other •cuts he could imagine would reduce ;raises. County teacher salaries are t- ■ near the bottom in the state at the beginning and end of the scale. They are almost average for the state at 10 and 20 years of experience. “We’re not asking for increases to improve our position, just to hang in there,” Dr. Gangel said. The School Board agreed not to make any changes in proposed raises. The board will meet again next Tuesday evening to formally adopt the budget. During the meeting with the supervisors School Board Chairman John Tole said of all the institutions he has been associated with the Rappahannock County schools are making the greatest effort to improve “with relatively meager resources..! think the commitment to quality here is higher than I’ve seen in other institutions.” He noted that the school system had received a significant increase in the state budget so that cuts in state aid are much less than was expected, but said the solution is only temporary. “Next year we’ll have the problem back again.” Several of the supervisors questioned the need for a director of administration. During that discussion School Board members said the having someone in the position meant that maintenance was being handled better and money was saved when the school system acted as its own contractor for projects instead of accepting the lowest bid by a general contractor.

L Wednesday Night Prime Rib Thursday Night Steak Dinner Special New York Strip, Salad, (h C Potato & Onion Rings Ip X vl« X d Virginia Approves Motor Voter Law JAMES MCMAHON Capital New* Service RICHMOND — Virginia has joined other states in passing motorvoter legislation into law. The measure, which supporters say will dramatically increase voter registration in the state, makes it possible for Virginians to register to vote at state offices including 71 Department of Motor Vehicles offices, 123 welfare offices and five Game and Inland Fisheries offices. In addition, registration can be done by mail, and citizens can find applications at those same state offices. Despite federal legislation, Virginia becomes one of the last states to adopt such a law. Lt. Gov. Donald Beyer said 45 states already passed similar voter-registration laws since the Democratic-controlled Congress approved the measure in 1993. States implementing the law found their citizens registering at motor vehicle offices effective January 1995. But not in Virginia. Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan, DFairfax, said Virginia should have enacted this legislation long ago. “It is truly ironic,” he said, “that we are here today rather than an earlier day when the national voter registration could have been implemented by law.” The General Assembly passed similar legislation last year only to see Gov. George Allen veto the mea County Cadets On Dean's List Cadets John M. Dwyer and Michael L. Brown Jr. are among the 252 Virginia Military Institute cadets who were recently named to the Dean’s List for the first semester of the 1995-96 academic year. Cadet Dwyer, a senior majoring in biology is a member of the Arnold Air Society, Religious Affairs Committee and the VMI Outreach Committee. He is an RCHS graduate, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerrel T. Dwyer of Woodville. Cadet Brown, a junior majoring in civil engineering, is also an RCHS graduate and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Brown of Washington. sure. Gov. Allen initiated a court battle .challenging the constitutionality of the law but lost the case. That loss paved the way for its passage this year. The assembly, Sen. Gartlan said, provided Gov. Allen with the option of pursuing the court case before the legislation would become the law. “The governor chose to ignore those options, vetoed the bill and as a result ultimately lost a baseless lawsuit,” he said. Del. Jerrauld C. Jones, D-Norfolk, said the legislation marks a major achievement in empowering Virginians. “Many people may see this as just another stop on the bureaucratic highway,” said Del. Jones, chairman of Virignia’s Legislative Black Caucus. “But for those of us who have marched down that path for most of our lives, today is a major milestone nn thp HarH maH tn olnrv ” Lt. Gov. Beyer predicted motorvoter registration will increase voter turnout in the state, saying he expects to see more than one million new voters signed up in the next five years. The lieutenant governor pointed out that one-third of today’s eligible voters in the state are not registered to vote. “This is a people issue,” he said. “We now can get more people involved in the democratic process. Since the other states across the country adopted motor voter in January 1995 more than one million people have been added to the voter rolls.” Opponents of the legislation voiced concern about an increase in fraud resulting from the liberalized registration. Early in this year’s assembly Gov. Allen pushed for an amendment requiring photo identification for first-time voters. Lawmakers and the Allen administration eventually reached a compromise calling for identification to be shown though not necessarily a photo ID. Del. James Scott, D-Fairfax, said he thinks the concerns of fraud were unfounded. “There is no evidence (of fraud) in any of the states that adopted this procedure before the national act. . .” he said. The State Board of Elections received $1.3 million to put the law into effect. “Think of the power of having all those new people involved in all the decisions that are so important to us,” Lt. Gov. Beyer said.

Charles Eldred said before the four-lane bypass was put in almost everyone in town took in money by putting up people overnight, and it could take 20 minutes to get across the street because of the traffic. “When they took the traffic out of town, the town turned up its toes and said, ‘Woe is me they’Ve taken our people away. The town is dead.”’ Apparently the town would be happy “if we could just get these people to send their money and stay home. It seems like the sort of activities this building is likely to attract shouldn’t be a serious Droblem.” he added. Council member Reinhardt Lynch said he had surveyed places available to rent for parties in Washington, D.C., and they included many fancy houses and government-owned buildings with antiques “next door to beautiful residential areas.” He said the town needs to find another source of income besides the meals and lodging tax, but a change in the alcohol policy should also include an increase in the rent. Mayor Stewart Willis said heshared some of Ms. Bruce’s concerns about maintenance. “It would be awkward to open it up and not have it cleaned. If we consider alcohol we should consider restraints on the hours it could be served.” Council member Peter Skowronski said he would like to have more input from citizens. Member Steve Critzer said he also served on the committee that devefc oped the guidelines and the only change he would suggest is something making guidelines for the number of people easier to understand. Mr. Gooch made a motion to modify the guidelines to allow alcohol for specific functions that had prior approval from the council and to increase the rent charged for such functions. Louise van Dort said she wanted to amend the motion to say that if alcoholic beverages are sold the person or organization would have to Obtain an ABC license for the event. “That will be a deterent to the casual use of the building for a drinking party,” she said. I he council decided to invite people to discuss the issue at the next meeting before making a decision. V The council members discussed what to do to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the town’s incorporation, Dec. 14, 1996. They considered erecting signs at the entrances t$ town, having a celebration similar tg> Colonial Christmas and holding several events. No decisions were made. Ms. van Dort was delegated to make lists of areas in the town needing sidewalks or sidewalk repairs and correction of storm water problems to givetoVDOT. Mr. Gooch reported the Future Committee would meet with the owners of The Inn, churches, and professionals before preparing a final report. He said bed and breakfast owners had suggested more attention to attracting tourists, speeding and sidewalks were concerns. Mr. Tompkins suggested the committee also meet with ordinary residents.

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds Rappahannock News WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20,1996 Students Speak Up, Crack Nuts, Win Prizes By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer , and MIKE WOLFE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Mike Wolfe, Willie Eastham and Jim Clark had one hour and 20 minutes to design a computer operated robotic device for cracking peanut shells using Legos at last Saturday’s Northern Virginia regional competition of the Technology Student Association held at Liberty High omuui in Deaieiun. The rules of the competition said Jthey had to include a “nut holding system” to hold the peanuts, provide for a pneumatically powered nut cracker, activate the nut cracker using computer controls, show instructions on the computer screen, repeat the nut cracking process at least five times, and sound a warning and flash a light when the nut cracker was in operation. They could earn 10 extra points if the device actually cracked a peanut shell. They had been allowed to bring whatever Legos from the school they wanted, and they knew the problem would call for pneumatics (compressed air). By the end of the time they had gears spinning. The judges told them and other teams in the competition that the challenge they had just faced would be very similar to the one they will face in state competition in Hampton later this spring. They won first place in the competition with judges commenting “Wonderful! Congratualtions, best solution I’ve seen” and “Good division of labor, innovative solution.” They were three of the RCHS students attending the regional TSA competition. Another team made up ot Willie Eastham, Can Kerr, and Tano Gomez competed in the Architectural Model Contest. They were to “Design a fast food application for an existing historically significant structure that will follow the adaptive restoration criteria as set forth by the U.S. Department of Interior and will maintain the historical and architectural significance and integrity of the structure.” Tano Gomez, Cari Kerr and Willie Eastham modeled the Town Hall adapted to use as a fast food outlet. They chose the Town Hall, formerly the Rappahannock County Library and before that a Presbyterian church. They won second place in the competition. Tano said, “The contest was a little harder than I thought it would be because so many details were considered by the judges.” The model is on display in Room 15 at RCHS. Others competed in public speaking, giving both prepared and extemporaneous speaches, research and design of small cars powered by carbon dioxide, designing and flying model planes, technical report writing and Manufacturing Prototype. In Level I for RCHS 8th graders, Mike Otero won third place in Aerospace Technology and second place in Technical Research and Report Writing, and Daniel Ramey won third place in Technical Research and Report Writing. Other awards in I evel If fnr ninth through 12th graders were third place in Aerospace Technology to Keenan Roberts and first place in Extemporaneous Speaking to Cari Kerr. In' Manufacturing Prototype Donnie Beahm won second place and Ernest Updike won third place. In Prepared Speech Dean Payne won second place and John Arnold won third place. John Arnold also won first place in Technical Research and Report Writing. TSA is a student organization that is run by elected students and supervised by their teachers. At the regional level Cari Kerr just finished her term as president, Jesse Rogers as historian and Mike Wolfe as reporter. Jon Arnold is currently the state president. RCHS technology teacher Ron Vickers is the lead state and regional advisor. RCHS students are now looking forward to the state contests. Technosphere ‘96 will be held April 19-21 in Hampton. RAAC To Show Documentary In the year 1955 a revolution began that would irreversibly change the way African-Americans were treated in this country. A Time for Justice is the story of that struggle. This documentary movie by Charles Guggenheim is told through the eyes of those who were involved in the events that won for AfricanAmericans the right to vote in the South during the 1950s and 60s. Many of the foot soldiers were young students who were willing to confront humiliation and death so that all Americans could share the right of full citizenship. From the bus boycott in Montgomery to the triumphant 1965 march from Selma to the state capitol, the battle for the right to vote was carried on across the American South and at great cost. Many of the freedom riders and civil rights workers were intimidated, or beaten — even murdered. Four-time Oscar winner Charles Guggenheim comes to the Theatre at Washington on Friday March 29 to introduce his 1995 Academy Award winning film and to respond to questions after the showing. Mr. Guggenheim, a Washington, D.C. based filmmaker, has achieved an international reputation in the area of documentary films. Described as “probably the most accomplished maker of documentary films in the country by Saturday Review film critic Hollis Alpert, Mr. Guggenheim has won top awards in every major international film competition. In addition to the four Academy Awards, he has received 11 Academy nominations and the George Foster Peabody Award in broadcasting. Mr. Guggenheim has made over 250 documentaries, including D-Day Remembered, Journey to America and RFK Remembered. Last Sunday The Washington Post featured an article about Mr. Guggenheim’s facinating life and career under the heading “The Golden Age of Guggenheim.” The article calls A Time for Justice a “passionate humn to the civil rights movement” and goes on to point out that in his civil rights films Mr. Guggenheim builds a “message about the universality of intolerance. He shows you that the victim is being prejudiced as well and that hate doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s in all of us.” This special event is a bonus addition to the current RAAC film series. Film series tickets may be used for admission, or individual tickets may be purchased at the theater for $5 for adults and $3 for students. Photo courtesy of RAAC Director Charles Guggenheim will introduce his film and answer questions on it at The Theatre next Friday. Purnell To Speak at Library By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Jon Purnell of Washington has agreed to speak at the Library Friday Program for April on the 12th at 8 p.m. Mr. Purnell, who is director of the Office of Ukraine, Belorussiya and Moldova at the Department of State, will discuss “The Former Soviet Union on the Eve of Two Elections.” Mr.. Purnell and his family returned to the States in 1992 after serving three years in St. Petersburg and a year in Vienna. Earlier, he was stationed in Moscow for several years. His work at the State Department takes him at least once a year to the former USSR. In 1995 he was in the Ukraine, Belorus, Moldova and Moscow. Readers or former Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin’s recently published In Confidence will recall the effect United States Presidential elections had on U.S.Soviet policy. U.S. Ambassador Jack F. Matlock Jr.’s Autopsy of an Empire, also recently published, refers to the way political developments in the Soviet Union and Russia affected U.S.-Soviet relations. The approaching elections both in the U.S: and Russia are again impacting what is happening between us. Mr. Purnell’s talk and his responses to questions will allow us an offthe-record opportunity to learn about current and anticipated developments in the former Soviet Union. Copies of Mr. Dobrynin’s and Mr. Matlack’s books, records of unique experiences by outstanding diplomatic individuals, are available at the library. Even if one only samples these books before April 12, readers can find insights that will illuminate what we may leant from hearing Foreign Service Officer Jon Purnell at the Rappahannock library on the second Friday of April. Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Sharon Kilpatrick Willie Eastham, Mike Wolfe and Jim Clark consider how to tackle the problem. Natural History Daycamp Celebrates Its Ninth Season By LYT WOOD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection is pleased to announce plans for our 9th season .of Natural History Day Camp directed once again by Robin Pumell and Karen Henderson.

An Edible Wild Foods Course with Robin Purnell will delve into the hidden world of the wild foods growing around us. A journal of drawings and recipes will be kept and of course, lots of tasting will occur! Nationally known bird photographer and life-long educator and naturalist, Mr. John Trott will be joining camp with a course on Birding. Herpetologist Peter Kramer Jr. will return to camp again this year with a course on Amphibians <and Water-life. In addition to these courses we will have our regular two week session of camp focusing on introducing young children to all aspects of Natural History. Dates for session I, Courses for older children aged 10 and up will be held for one week, June 24-28. Session II, for campers aged 7-10 will be held July 1-12.

Theatre Presents Final Curtain In her internationally acclaimed one woman-play, Final Curtain, Arlene Sterne recreates memorable moments in the lives of three of the greatest actresses and rivals in history. The play comes to The Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 30. Intense, charismatic and talented, Sarah Bernhardt, Ellen Terry and Eleonora Duse, became living legends of the stage in their respective countries during the 19th century. Arlen Sterne, a 20th century actress with a 1 keen sense of history, captures each of these stars in the final stage of her rarpftr Final Curtain premiered at the Carnegie Recital Hall. Subsequent performances have been held at the Lincoln Center Library of Performing Arts, the National Theatre, the Corcoran Gallery, the Folger Theatre, and the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. Radio Forth in Edinburgh said “Arlene Sterne presents actresses of the past, making you believe in them as real people, sharing in their joys and sorrows. . .This is a performance which just should not be missed." The Los Angeles Times described the show as “A delight. . .an intriguing, poetic performance. With only the assistance of a change of wig, perhaps a shawl, a wrap, (she] metamorphoses into each actress.” , Boston-born Arlene Sterne has traversed four continents as an actress, writer, TV and radio broadcast journalist. She is a member of The Basic Theatre Company of New York, the Theatre Artists Workshop of Westport, Conn., and Theatre East in Los Angeles. Her work has been spotlighted by PBS Television and. the Yale School of Drama. Tickets for the performance of Final Curtain at The Theatre at Washington are $13.50 with reservation, $15 at the door.

Photographer In April Show Middle Street Gallery is proud to announce its presentation for April, “Natural Fairfax County,” an exhibition of black and white photographs by gallery member Bruce Blundell. Mr. Blundell's awareness of the rapid growth and urbanization of Fairfax County resulted in this series of photographs. In spite of the rising tide of malls, highways and townhouses, much woodland and wetland remains undeveloped. These photographs document the meeting of land and water in “pocket landscapes” which serve as a tranquil counterpoint to the swift pace of life in Fairfax County. Mr. Blundell’s fascination with photography dates from his childhood in Queens, New York. Ar&hrly inter- '• est in astronomy and efforts to photograph stars, planets and eclipses led to an interest in urban night photography and to a lifelong observation of the effects of light on the physical world. An opening reception will be held at the Gallery'on Sunday, April 7 from 3 to 6 p.m. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited to meet Mr. Blundell and view his work. Middle Street Gallery is an artistrun, non-profit gallery. It is free and open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a m! to 6 p.m. For more information call the gallery at 675-3440.

Why? Is it because happiness is the serenity of . the evening hours, or is | it because happiness Is serenity? * Our moods, as well as our interests, determine ; what happiness is for each of us. And our emotions, our longings, our appreciation of nature - all play a part. What we believe makes a difference, too. There are countless individuals for whom happiness is faith. And there are others who lack this spiritual ingredient and yet wonder why they aren't happy. A scene like this gains new dimensions when you think of the sea as God’s creation...and of man as God’s Child.

5-A-Day for Better Health U By HELEN SMITH ExtMHiM AgMt, Haw Enmria Did you know that eating five fruits and vegetables a day is one of the most important choices you can make to help maintain your health? Leading health authorities agree that increasing fruits and vegetables in the diet is essential for better health. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Academy of Sciences all recommend that: Americans should eat a balanced diet low in fat which includes lots of fruits and vegetables. v What Is The 5-A-Day Program? S-A-Day is a program developed by the National Cancer Institute to encourage us to eat more fhiits and vegetables — at least 5 servings every day. The Food Guide Pyramid also shows that we should eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, three to five from the vegetable group and two to four from the fruit group. Some people may ask how did experts at MCI come up with the number 5? They reviewed 156 studies that looked at the link between eating certain foods and getting cancer. The experts found that eating fruits and vegetables protected against cancer in 82 percent of these studies. People who ate a lot of fruits and vegetables had half the risk of cancer of people who ate few fruits and vegetables. Five servings of fruits and vegetables a day was the definition of “a lot.” Fruits and vegetables were found B»‘have a protective effect for the following cancers — lung, breast, mouth and throat, stomach, colon and rectal, cervical and ovarian. ' - How Fruits And Vegetables Protect Us J*.’ Fruits and vegetables protect us because of the natural substances they contain. Fruits and vegetables are: high in fiber, rich sources of vitamins C and A, low in fat unless we add fat during cooking. r* Which Fruits And Vegetables Are Best? ,, Vitamin C — Eat at least one vitMrs. Brady Has Visitor Mrs. Irene Hamilton arrived on Sunday to spend a week with her mother, Mrs. Alice Brady.
