WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1996 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 50 Cents Miller Sorry Notification Bill Failed By JIM MCNAMARA Capital News Service RICHMOND — Of the record 2,791 pieces of legislation introduced during the 1996 General Assembly session, 22 were introduced by Sen. Kevin G. Miller, RHarrisonburg. ! ; His report card reads 12 bills passed, eight killed, one Stricken from the docket at Sen. Miller’s request and one continued to the 1997 session. With the failure of the parental notification bill, not only did Gov. George Allen’s administration suffer a major setback, but Sen. Miller also said he is disappointed the bill died again this year. “1 hope that citizens take notice that this measure passed both houses by comfortable margins but was killed by parliamentary procedure,” Sen. Miller said, adding that he favors a strict notification bill requiring girls younger than 18 to’notify a parent before seeking an abortion. On the other hand, the senator said he’s especially proud of two of his> proposals that passed this session. One that Gov. Allen signed into law on March 10 delates to requirements for campaign finance disclosure and identifying persons responsible for campaign writings. The legislation removes the ID requirement for materials concerning referendum issues but retains the requirement for identifying those responsible for campaign materials about potential nominees and candidates for office. * The second bill deals with juvenile detention facilities that was incorporated into the larger juvenile justice reform package signed by Allen on April 9.

Katzen Looks At Successes Local Bills Passed By PETE VAN VLEET Capital News Servlet RICHMOND — It’s hard to disagree with a man who’s smiling all the time, and Delegate Jay Katzen, R-' Warrenton, has every reason to smile. Not only did he announce his candidacy for lieutenant governor while the General Assembly was in session, but he also improved his legislative record this year. Last year, Del. Katzen introduced 17 bills in the General Assembly, and the governor signed seven of them. This year, he saw six of his 28 bills killed in committee, while seven were continued until 1997. Del. Katzen withdrew four of the bills or they were merged with other legislation. He also introduced a budget amendment to fund major construction at the Warrenton campus of Lord Fairfax Community College. The governor has approved 57.1 million for that project. The other 11 bills were signed into law. “I’m very pleased with the legislative results we’ve » gotten this session,” Del. Katzen said, pointing out that he’s proudest to have sponsored the bill called “Fresh Start.” This bill provides protection to investors who redevelop land deemed acceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency, such as the former Avtex site in Front Royal. The measure stipulates that landowners be immune to all actions involving the state’s air, water and waste laws and from citizen suits when their properties are found contaminated because of a previous landowner’s use. If a problem arises from previous use, the current See Katzen, Page A-6 Old Rag Personal Property Taxes Although most people got their county motor vehicle stickers by Monday’s deadline, many of those same people have not yet filed personal property tax forms.

Council Rejects Alcohol Use in Town Hall By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahmaaock Non SUIT Wrttar On a 4 to 3 vote the Washington Town Council decided to continue the ban on serving alcohol at events held in the Town Hall. A public hearing on the matter preceded the vote, and speakers were overwhelmingly in favor of continuing the ban. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Viguerie were represented by attorney Dan O’Connell who said the Comprehensive Plan and Historic District Ordinance “provide a delicate blend of residential and compatible commercial uses. This beautiful structure is in a residential neighborhood. What justifies changing this policy? Who benefits? This public building is almost churchlike. It seems almost blasphemous... You would have to have a tremendously good reason for changing the policy.” He noted that the Vigueries own a house directly across the street from the Town Hall. “My clients are prepared to take legal action to protect their rights,” he said. District Court clerk Pat Davis said that allowing alcohol to be served at events in Town Hall would lead to “disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, and people pissing on the grounds.” Many people expressed concern about increased traffic and parking problems. Council member Ray Gooch said after the town purchased the building but before the current guidelines were adopted there were events held in the building at which alcohol was served. “There were no problems, no complaints,” he said. He added the town had bought the building because people did not want the former Presbyterian Church and county library to go into private hands. They wanted it to continue to be accessible to the public. Mr. Gooch said most of the objections people had expressed to using the building for events where alcohol was served, such as increased traffic and parking problems, would apply equally to events at which only soft drinks were served, and if these problems were such a concern perhaps the building should not be used for any nongovernmental events. “We do have a delicate balance that has to be maintained, the balance of businesses and residents. The businesses are supporting the town,” he said. Members of the business community had asked if the alco- . hoi restriction could be lifted. Treasurer Louise van Dort said the use of the building has not changed much since the restriction on alcohol was enacted. Before that there “were very gentile gatherings.” Both when it was owned by the town and when it served as the county library. If the ban is lifted she said, “There will be no throngs of people from Fairfax on Harley Davidsons.” She also noted that the tourist industry supports the town. Council member Peter Skowronski said. See Council, Page A-6 Teachers Recognized for Lifesaving Efforts By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock N«n Contributing Writer When Sheila Smith, a second-grade teacher at Rappahannock County Elementary School, began taking an Emergency Medical Technician course in January, her only intention was to be more active in the Amissville Fire Department. Instead she became one of the first teachers in the school’s history to restore life to a lifeless child. It happened on March 7, but just last Saturday the School Board formally commended the three teachers and one nurse involved in the momentous event. It took place in the kindergarten class taught by Marty Cannon, now in her ninth year as a teacher. When a class video ended, Mrs. Cannon switched on the lights and asked her students to get ready for their next task. One child, a 5-year-old girl, seemed to be sleeping on the floor in front of the TV. Mrs. Cannon walked to the child, cheerily calling her name. Then she knelt beside her and began rubbing her arms and speaking more urgently, trying to wake her from what appeared to be a deep sleep. As Mrs. Cannon gathered the child into her arms, she realized with horror that the girl was unconscious. Mrs. Cannon knew that Geraldine Payne, who teaches in the neighboring classroom and who has advanced certification in emergency medical procedures, was absent. So she quickly carried the girl across the hall, opened the door to Mrs. Smith’s room and said, “I need help.” Mrs. Smith hustled to the door, took one look at the girl, and carried her back to Mrs. Cannon’s room, out of the path of people in the hallway. “I started doing all the things you are trained to do,” she recalls. “I did an initial assessment [in which she found no pulse| and started rescue breathing.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Cannon had dialed the emergency code included in the new phone system of the newly opened wing for grades K through 2. The phone was immediately picked up by secretary Martha Kidwell. “We need a rescue squad; there’s a child not breathing,” said Mrs. Cannon. Next she turned to her class and said: “Boys and girls we need to leave the class.” The children filed out “like little soldiers, it was as if they knew exactly what they needed3to do,” said Mrs. Cannon. She guided them to a neighboring classroom. With Mrs. Kidwell notifying the rescue squad, assistant principal Richard Smith ran to the gym and called to the physical edu cation teacher: “Do you know CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)?” “Yes,” answered Carol Nowakoski, a 12-year veteran of teaching. She followed Mr. Smith toward Mrs. Cannon’s classroom. Within a minute of the call to the front See Rescue, Page A-6 Photo courtesy of Bonnie Price i Teachers Marty Cannon, Carol Nowakowski and Sheila Smith were recognized Saturday for their rol$s in saving a child's life.

RCHS Students Demonstrate DARE Class By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Twenty 10th graders from RCHS travelled to Washington, D C. last Thursday to attend the First DARE International Summit at the Grant Hyatt Washington. [They were there with their DARE instructor, Capt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, to show what a typical DARE class looks like. They held a 20 minute “class” in front of the people attending the summit. During the ’’class,” using DARE workbooks, they talked about types of alcoholic drinks, the effects alcohol has on people, and about the law pertaining to people under the age of 21. In the class they learned that .02 is the presumptive level for being under the influence for people under 21. Capt. Brown said that one beer, one drink, or one glass of wine would cause someone to have that level. • They also discussed how reactions and demeanor can change after having consumed alcohol. “In my class the true consequences are exposed, such as the long term effects '6r what happens if you violate the law,” said Capt. Brown. In the “class” he chose Julie Atkins as the model playing the “drunk driver,” ending up the demonstration by handcuffing her. She had previously done this demo in the DARE class at RCHS and had agreed to also act it out at the DARE summit. Courtney Mauro and Julie Atkins both agreed that they enjoyed seeing how other schools do the DARE class. Courtney said, “I think the schools performed really well for the people who were there.” Other classes, including a middle school class from Stafford County and a kindergarten class from Washington, D.C., also demonstrated typical DARE classes from their schools. The kindergarten class began with the decision as to who would be able to hold the “DARE lion” during the class. The summit was held to introduce representatives from 34 countries to the DARE program so they could learn how to establish it in their countries. Several of the countries from South and Central America were represented, as were Sweden, Thailand, Italy, Australia and the Czech Republic. After the morning session where Cleanup Prize Up for Grabs By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer ' Psst. Want to hear a secret? Hardly anybody has yet stepped forward to compete for the $100 prize being offered to the person or group who picks up the most roadside trash between this Saturday and the following weekend, ending April 28. This is not, of course, what the R'apipahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) Envisioned when it offered the cash prize. RLEP Treasurer Phil Irwin said his group hoped that civic groups, churches, scouts, and other residents would seize the prize as an excuse to get together and clean the roads they frequent. . . So far, Laurel Mills is the only place where the spirit of friendly competition seems to have taken hold. Anianda Stephens and Gary Light, who own the Laurel Mills Farm Bed and Breakfast, put a notice in the Laurel Mills Store earlier this week, asking their neighbors to join them at 9-a.m. Saturday to clean about 2 miles along Rt. 618 on either side of the store. . "“Driving around, I noticed that we have pretty good trash density along fhis stretch of road,” says Mr. Light. *‘l think we can fill a lot of bags in a short distance.” BREEDEN’S PLANT HOUSE Cabbage, Broccoli„ Cauliflower, Lettuce, Violas OQt 6-Pack Perennials * Hanging Baskets • Herbs • Azaleas • Rhododendrons Evergreen Shrubs • House Plants • Geraniums • Miniature Roses i From Sperryville, take Rt. 231 south 12 miles, turn left on 642, go 1 ’A miles 540-923-4381 1 MARRIAGE COUNSEL by Theresa Shuart Licensed Professional Counselor WHEN KIDS FIGHT When little kids get into big arguments over toys or cookies or other world-shaking issues, it’s tempting for parents to step in, divvy up the toys or cookies and gain some peace and quiet. But, as long as no one is getting hurt, it’s really better to let them work through the conflict on their own. Two professors at Indiana University who specialize in diaper diplomacy as a step to lifelong skills suggest that toddlers need a little guidance in negotiating. They offer five steps: • Getting the toddlers’ attention. • Identifying the problem and the hurt « feelings that exist, and helping each child understand how the other one feels. • Discussing possible solutions and guiding the preschoolers toward one that's appropriate. • Getting agreement on the compromise solution. • Pointing out how each child will benefit from the arrangement.

Brief Counseling Center, 578 Waterloo Rd., Suite 3-B, WarTenton, VA 22186 (540) 347-0708, ext. 4 The owner of Laurel Mills Store, Mary Francis Fannon, is offering free refreshments to any who join the cleanup. “If we win,” says Mr. Light, “we’ll donate the money to the Castleton fire department.” Here are the contest rules: • Pick up roadside trash anywhere in the county, starting anytime and ending Sunday, April 28. • Put the trash in large plastic trash bags. You can get huge, heavyduty orange bags free through Hunt Harris at the Ragged Mountain Resource Center, 675-1879. • Call Mr. Harris to let him know how many bags you filled and where you left the bags, so he can log your entry and arrange for a pickup. • Though not essential, it would be helpful if you would let Mr. Harris know which stretch of road you are cleaning, so that he can guard against duplication. • Mr. Harris will drive to each place where the bags are left and verify the amount of trash collected, before announcing the winner of the $100 prize on Monday, April 29. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Capt. Jeff Brown uses Julie Atkins to demonstrate a class on drunk driving at the DARE International Summit. several DARE classes were given, a luncheon was held in one of the ballrooms for all attending the DARE Summit. There was live music and an Honor Guard from Washington, D.C. After lunch was served, which included “Kids” lunches (chicken fingers) and adult lunches (swordfish), General Barry McCaffrey, the “Drug Czar” from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, spoke to the group. Gen. McCaffrey said that 70 percent of drug users are employed and that they are wrecking the workplace. “You can see the destruction of the American family,” he said. He said that drugs are a global problem, adding that only four percent of the heroin users in the world are Americans. “We really welcome what DARE has done to get to this problem,” he said, adding “You are protecting American children. I am proud to be here today.” We have to commit to a long term solution, said the General, and look at programs and see what works and what does not work. He claimed that young people are using more drugs than they did before. A priority is to motivate American youths to reject illegal drugs and substance abuse. 9 Added to Honor Society Three juniors and six sophomores were inducted into the local chapter of the National Honor Society at RCHS last Thursday evening, April 11, in a ceremony in the school library.

During the Bush administration the state governors met in Charlottesville and developed a series of goals for American education to be achieved by the year 2000. The goals probably were unachievable. They included guaranteeing that every child enters school ready to learn, that 90 percent of America’s students graduate from high school, that adult illiteracy be eliminated, that American students be at the top of international tests on math and '' scierice and that schools be free from violence and drugs. During the Clinton administration modest funds have been provided in most states to develop plans to implement these goals. In Virginia Gov. George Allen refused to participate claiming the funds had unacceptable strings attached. More recently the governors met again with business leaders and adopted one more achievable goal, that academic standards be raised. Virginia has already started down that path with new standards of learning approved in language arts, social studies, math and science. During the recent session of the General Assembly the governor asked for funds to develop tests for six grade levels to find out how well Virginia’s students were doing in achieving these higher standards. The assembly balked at the cost of developing these tests, scaling back the number of grades to be tested and suggested the governor apply for Goals 2000 funding to cover part of the cost of developing the tests. They adopted a provision that the governor must apply for the funds if two-thirds of the school boards in the state request that the state apply. Gov. Allen has vetoed this provision. Wednesday’s one-day session will determine if the veto is sustained or overridden Last Tuesday the county School Board, reluctant to thrust aside any source of funding, passed a resolution urging the state to apply for the funds. According to Monday’s Washington Post, as Congress comes back from its two-week Easter recess, it is expected to pass a budget for those portions of the government, including the Department of Education, which do not yet have approved budgets half way through the budget year. Included in the proposed budget at this time is $350 million for Goals 2000, a reduction from the $371 million in last year’s budget. If those funds survive the budget process, and if Virginia applies for some of the funds, the county can apply for a few thousand dollars. The application will have to say what the funds will be used for, and Dr. Gangel told the School Board last week the board can decide at that time if the strings attached are more of a burden than the school system wants to take on. It seems unlikely they will be as bothersome as the strings already attached to federal aid. The most burdensome federal regulations the school system has to deal with are those related to providing special education for all students who qualify. It seems odd that those who oppose using the “iffy” federal Goals 2000 funds to develop the tests of the new standards prefer to ■have the state relying on the even more “iffy”-revenues from fowerball. " * _^ Tempest in a teapot... Contempt Not a Joke Io the Editor: At the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors, I was shocked to hear hat those of us who objected to the -emoval of the dumpsters were “low lifes, cry babies and people wanting to xtllute the Chesapeake Bay.” It isn’t often that an elected offi:ial openly voices his contempt for his electorate. He has already shown by his action, what he thinks of us. It is difficult to understand Mr. Massie making a joke out of what half of the people in the County feel is a legitimate concern (his reference to the placement of the Scrabble and Huntly dumpsters). Apparently he has no respect for his predecessors who placed them there either. It is understandable that the votes of the other Supervisors were motivated by what they believed their electorate wanted, although, I submit, that they put the (perceived) parochial interests of their people, before those of the county as a whole. I suggest that they look at the addresses of the people signing the objection to the removal. They will find a great many people in their districts. Mr. Massie does not have that excuse. Those of us in his district want the dumpsters to remain. Mr. Anderson observed that the action to close took place after the last election. I don’t believe most of us in Mr. Massie’s district will forget his action or the derogatory way he feels about us. Hopefully Mr. Massie is a “lame duck” Supervisor. MARY W. BAILEY Washington Goals 2000 Questions To the Editor: What is the goals 2000 controversy all about?” Why is a state like California now trying to get out of the program? Why are Democrats threatening to sue Gov. George Allen to force him to participate in the program? What is it costing the federal government to administer the program (with our tax dollars)? Are there strings attached? If a district applies for the grant, what are the national standards it must meet? Is it an assault on parental authority? Is it government intrusion? This is a complex issue — one that should be fully evaluated before taking any action to participate. During my research, the program appeal to be more about social engiV neering than academics. One of the excellent books 1 studied was A Critique of "America 2000: an Education Stratgy" by Kathi Hudson, vice president of Citizens for Excellence in Education. I consider her very credible, with a degree in political science with emphasis on public policy. She also wrote Reinventing America’s Schools. Since no decision must be made until June 30, the Culpeper County School Board wisely tabled the issue until the May meeting. Last Tuesday night, April 9, the Rappahannock County School Board unanimously voted to approve Goals 2000 participation. However, their action was not Our Rappahannock Heritage ■ i Rappahannock New$ Staft Photo by Cindy Mahan Dutchman’s breeches are blooming beside the Rush River in Harris Hollow. reported in the Rappahannock News, but other actions taken by the board were reported. Jackson District School Board member Ron Makela said Saturday he was unaware of any controversy on Goals 2000 until after the fact. He noted that the actual document is about three inches thick with a lot of legal working and a copy is in Superintendent David Gangers office. Mr. Makela read a 20-page summary by the Council of Chief State School Officers, an organization in Washington, D.C. Mr. Makela said he welcomes comments from citizens. Citizens, it is critical. If you care about your families and how your tax dollars are being spent, become involved. Mr. Makela says you may review reading textbooks in the Rappahannock County Elementary School and provide written comments by April 22. On sex ed, I understand the school follows state regulations with opt-out program-. School Board meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month at 7;30 p.m. The Board of Supervisors meetings are held the first Monday. Since the agendas 'are not published in the paper call in advance to learn about agenda items. A preliminary School Board agenda is available the Friday before the meeting. Call 9878773. We can no longer assume government knows what is best for us; we must take responsibility for our own lives. We were told condom distribution would decrease teen pregnancy, but it has only\ increased it. We must get back to traditional family values if we are to survive as a nation. CATHY LOU SMITH Amissville Editor ’s note: Mr. Makela said he was well aware of the controversy over Goals 2000, but his reading suggests the concern over “strings ” is overblown. The vote wap on a resolution to ask the state to apply for the funds. If that happens and there are funds available the Rappahannock school system may apply for a small portion of the funds. The school system ’s Family Life Education curriculum was developed by a large group of local citizens. It has an opt-out provision. Many issues were before the board last Tuesday. The newspaper report did not cover all of them. Donation Appreciated To the Editor: We want to express our sincere gratitude to Carl Payne, Jeff Jenkins, Charlie Thomas, and Curtis Crawford for the hours of time they donated last weekend installing a batting cage for the softball field at RCHS. The hours of labor, the loads of fill dirt, the equipment time, and the welding skill these men donated to construct the cage is appreciated by every i Rappahannock softball player and their families. Rappahannock girls will give thanks by putting the batting cage to heavy use over the next few years, enabling them to improve their skills and compete successfully. Community volunteers have been an essential part of our public school and recreational league athletic programs, getting many things accomplished that our strained school budget cannot accommodate. Thank you Carl, Jeff, Charlie, and Curtis for your significant contribution to the softball program. ALEX and ROSE ANN SHARP Washington Oppose Goals 2000 To the Editor: Is it possible that our Rappahannock School Board last week voted to adopt the government’s version of how to educate our children? Packaged as Goals 2000 it is the same package that our Governor rejected as well as our delegate, Jay Katzen. Many more of those in our county would reject it if they were aware of the consequences. First of all, since the Federal Government has involved itself in the education of our children, having created the National Education Association over 20 years ago, there has been a steady decline in the quality of our education. This 20-year old tax monster has proven a failure and is constitutionally incorrect. This is a state issue, based on the 10th - Amendment. I for one, and I believe 1 can safely say I represent many families, believe we don’t need the federal government’s money on education programs of this type. Let the taxpayers of Virginia and every other state determine how we should educate our children. We take their money for their program, and we will take all the strings attached, along with a program which emphasizes attitudes and political correctness instead of the basics our children need. We know how to teach our values to our children. I’m not ready to give up yet another right to the federal government. Which brings me to my point. Why weren’t the parents and taxpayers of Rappahannock County notitied of such a decision of this magnitude. This was not business as usual. This should have been made known to us through the newspaper at the very least. I am concerned about the School Board agenda for these meetings and how they are prepared in the future to include the people they supposedly represent. Perhaps Mr. Gangel, the superintendent, can explain this vote taken so * quickly when in fact a decision did not have to be made until July of this year. RICK WOOD Amissville Editor’s Note: The National “ Education Association, an organization of teachers, was started by teach- • ers, not the federal government, more * than 40 years ago. Questions Asked To the Editor: I have some questions about the ’v “nonprofit” group TV-Free America. Which foundation grants them the money they operate with? What are the salaries of the directors and executive directors? How many people are employed by this, ‘^nonprofit” group' and exactly what do they do in their day’s work? ANN BROWN Woodville Icon In, Proactive Out By JAMES J. KILPATRICK There was a time, and it wasn’t so very long ago, when an icon was simply an icon, “a religious image typically painted on a small wooden panel.” Today the best-known icons are graphic symbols on a computer screen. The word promises to be the vogue word of 1996. Knight-Ridder reports that the Jeep Wrangler is “an American icon revered around the world.” The Associated Press describes Wayne Gretzky as “the hocky icon who failed to win a Stanley Cup in Los Angeles.” With the rise of Pat Buchanan, said The Wall Street Journal, beloved icons have declined. How do vogue words get to be vogue words? Eugene McCarthy, the poet-statesman, probably explained it when he compared political writers to crows on a power line. When one flies off, they all fly off, When actress Sharon Stone became an icon two years ago, film writers instantly elevated Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts to the same status. Until his latest film with Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert Redford had become “a failing icon.” The most persistent vogue word is “arguabley.” The New Republic hazards a guess that Lamar Alexander “was arguably the best governor of the 1980s.” The Rocky Mountain News quotes an astronomer on the Milky Way: “Arguably, it will be the most intensively studied region of sky in the next decade.” Prince Charles was “arguably one of the all-time great catches.” On Edisto Island, in South Carolina, “the Henry Hutchinson house is arguably the most historically significant house built for an Edisto black man still standing on the island.” Newsweek reported in January that China’s policy of one child per family “is arguably a great success.”. Columnist Dave Broder pondered the fate of Kansas on Capitol Hill: “Its delegation is arguably the most powerful of them all.” Enough! Readers have sent me 122 citations of “arguably” within the past 15 months. And what a weasel word it is! It has become a crutch on which the indecisive writer leans. But there is something to be said for “icon” and “arguably.” They have displaced the top vogue words of 1994. “Dysfunctional,” for example, has almost disappeared. Woody Allen’s family was dysfunctional. The royal family (or royal brood) was dysfunctional. “The public loves dysfunctional families,” said Erma Bombeck. In Mother Jones, President Clinton is “moved by social dysfunction.” In the summer of 1992, The New Yorker carried a cartoon depicting two plumbers working on a maze of basement pipes: “We can’t tell yet if it’s a malfunction or a dysfunction.” As I recall, “dysfunctional” displaced “resonant” about a year ago. By that time “paradigm” was fading fast, and “frisson” had knocked out “paramenter.” It’s been months since anyone has sent me a parameter. I do not feel the loss. “Seamless” and “seamlessly” are not moving, but “com pelling” has picked up fresh momentum. I cannot tell about “insightful.” I had prayed for its violent death, but “insightful” is harder to kill than acockroach. . 1 Seventy years ago the great Henry Fowler had some unkind things to say about vogue words: “Every now and then,” he writer, “a word emerges from obscurity, or even from nothing-’ ness or a merely potential and notactual existence, into sudden popular-' ity. It is often, but not necessarily, one! that by no means explains itself to the* average man, who has to find out ite meaning as best he can.” | I In 1965 Fowler’s successor^ updated his entry under “Vogue! words” with such examples as ameni-! ty, factor, implement, impact, ambi-* ence and seminal. They noted the use* of “blueprint” for plan, “target” for objective and “ceiling” for limit. Do these sound familiar? Some fad words never die. They seem never to fade away either. Copyright 1996 .

Baseball Adds Win, Loss, Tie ; By LAINIE MORGAN J Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Last week the RCHS baseball team added a tie, a win and a loss to th6ir season record. A game with Luray Monday proved exciting with a tied score of 7 to 7.: Id the first inning Jon Butler was hit by a pitch. He then stole second. Japon Brown got a double, scoring Jon and earning an RBI. I Carlos Cerecer started of the bottofn of the third with a single and w^nt to second base because of a passed ball. Jon Butler reached first base on an infield error. Jason Brown walked loading the bases. Willie Eastham’s single brought Carlos in. Jon Digges’s single brought Jon Butler in, and Griffin Ward’s single drove in Willie and Jon Digges. The sixth inning was the last in which the Panthers scored. Jon Butler got a single and went to second on an attempted pick off that went wrong. Willie went to first base because of an error. Jon Digges singled and Jon Butler scored. Tommy Settle went to first on an error while Willie scored the seventh and final run. Tommy Settle was the starting pitcher. Jon Digges relieved him in the third inning. .On Tuesday the Panther squad got its first win beating George Mason at hotnq 3 to 1. Jon Digges struck out nine Geqrge Mason batters, allowed only four hits and went the distance. “Not only was this our first win of the year, but it was Jon’s first high school victory, which was just as exciting for all of.us,” said Coach Donn Hackney. Jon Digges record improved to 1 and 2.. Track Team Competes , ; By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Even though Monday was cold and rainy Rapp’s track team braved thp elements and competed at Strasburg against Stonewall Jackson i and, Strasburg. Rapp came in third in both boys’ and girls’ competition, with 32 points in the boys’ meet and 4 in the girls’ meet. Stonewall Jackson won the boys meet, and Strasburg won the gifls’ competition. On the girls’ side, Dawn Havstad who got second in shot put. The 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, composed of Robyn Kaye, Jessie Gheen, Tomeka Washington, Tracey Swift, Jill Waters and Jessie Gheen placed third. The guys received points when Jason Carter took first in the 100 and 200 yard dashes. Jason also had a foitrth in shot put. Mark Jenkins was first in the 800 and second in the 400. R.J. White was third in the 400. Willie Shanks was third in the long jump and fourth in the high jump. Joshua Waddell was fourth in the 1600 and Caleb Proper was fourth in the 3200. The 4x100 relay team, made up of . Jason Carter, R.J. White, Willie Styanks and Mike Gilkey, placed second. The 4x400 relay team came in second as well with runners Mark Jenkins, R.J. White, Jennings Hobson, and Tommy Baldwin. “1 think we did pretty good. We need to train more I think,” commented runner Caleb Proper. “It was cold and rainy but we tried our best,” added Emily Sims. Jason and Dawn, however, justified the loss by saying that “With the lack of training facilities our track program will never be as strong as people hope it to be.” ' The team plans to compete again at Brentsville on Wednesday where they hope to have better weather since according to Jason Carter they “went there [Strasburg] with white shirts and left with shirts polka-dotted with mud.” I FAUQUIER - LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1" Tues., 1:30 p.m Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2'° Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale Consignments Welcome.

I was really happy to get my first win. It felt good.” The Panthers scored all three of their runs in the sixth inning. Willie walked and advanced to second base when Mason’s pitcher tried to pick him off at first. Jon Digges came up and reached first on an infield error. Tommy Settle singled, driving Willie in for the first run, and tying the score. Jon Digges was called out trying to advance to third base. A pitcher’s balk sent Tommy Settle to second base. Griffin Ward reached first base on another Mason error. Another balk scored Tommy and sent Griffin to second. Mike Mills replaced Griffin at second, and Chris Sealock doubled to score Mills. Wednesday night the Panthers lost to Stonewall Jackson by a score of 18 to 9. The Panthers unleashed four runs in the first inning stunning their opponents. Jon Butler belted a double, but was thrown out at third base. Jason Brown walked, and Willie hammered a two-run homerun over the left field fence. Tommy Settle singled, Jon Digges doubled and Griffin Ward singled. “We were on top of our game after one-half of an inning,” said Coach Hackney. “I couldn’t have expected any more from them. They were very impressive that first inning.” What happened after that was no different from what the growing Panthers had been experiencing during the season. Willie was on the mound for the Panthers and he had some control problems. He got in trouble early as the Generals answered with four runs in the bottom half of the first. Stonewall scored four more in the second and the Panthers scored three in the third. “We were still very much in the game,” said Coach Hackney, “but Stonewall was the best hitting team we’d seen this season. They continued to hit the ball hard and capitalize on Panther mistakes.” For the Panthers Jeff Atkins was 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and four stolen bases. Willie, Tommy, Jon Digges and Carlos each had two hits apiece as the Panthers pounded out 15 hits but fell short of a victory. One Win One Loss By SHARON KILPATRICK. Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The softball team added a win and a loss to its record last week in two high-scoring games. On Tuesday the team bested George Mason 29 to 12. The Panther girls got on base often with 11 hits and 19 walks. Kiersten Kerr led the hitting with three singles. Angie Atkins addded two triples, and Courtney Welch added a single and a double. Courtney Mauro, Can Kerr, Tiffany Keys and Katy Paratore also had singles. Katy Paratore pitched the first three innings. Kylene Wolfe came in during the fourth inning and Cari Kerr ended the game in the fifth inning. The game was never in much doubt as the Panthers had 14 runs in the first inning. They added seven runs in both the second and fourth innings. On Wednesday in an away game with Stohewall Jackson the situation was reversed and the Panthers went down 31 to 13. The Generals had a big 20-run first inning, and while RCHS played even with Stonewall Jackson for the rest of the game, they never recovered. All three girls again pitched, but the Generals had too many walks. Cari Kerr led the hitting with a grand slam home run. Julie Atkins and Courtney Mauro added tripples, and Kiersten Kerr and Tiffany Keys added singles. k Custom Calling Features like Caller ID that make What's the big deal ABOUT THIS LITTLE ■KV .

Still another of his proposals died in the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee. The bill would have provided for identification of candidates by their designated political party on the ballot since that’s now prohibited except in presidential elections. Yet, the legislator said he hopes the bill will pass in the future. “I think it’s just a matter of time,” he said. Sen.

The proposal would increase the $800 personal exemption deduction to $1,600 in the first tax year and to $2,400 the following tax year.

Katzen said. “The bill gives a fresh start to the land and the developers.” In addition, Del. Katzen introduced a; bill to open Vint Hill for development. He proposed the bill to expand industrial development, job creation and housing development as well as educational and recreational land use. “Land is the crown jewel of our economy,” Del. Katzen said. “This bill helps us to develop that.” Nonetheless, his proposal to eliminate the one-gun-a-month law by July 1999 went up in smoke. It didn’t live long enough to stir any commotion before dying in a 13-9 committee vote. Other Katzen bills meeting early graves included one that would have eliminated windshield stickers from the car safety inspection process. Another was a resolution to initiate a study of the Composite Index that uses a locality’s fair market land value to determine the amount of state funding it receives for public education. Del. Katzen’s resolution would have formed a joint subcommittee to study the index and recommend how the legislature should deal with the funding problem for public schools created by the high value of land in the Northern Piedmont. Besides his bills, Del. Katzen said he is satisfied with the outcome of some other the major issues in this year’s assembly. “I’m pleased with parental notification (receiving much attention and almost passing),” he said. “I am very pleased with the juvenile justice bill.” Reflecting on his first weeks of this session, Del. Katzen said he would approach it the same way. “I don’t think I would have done anything different,” he said. “I’m just going to keep working for the people in my community and the people of Virginia. “It’s been a good year for us.” ► Rescue From Page A-l office, Ms. Nowakoski, was at Mrs. Smith’s side, and they were doing CPR as a team.

The school nurse, Caroline Eline, joined them and began checking the child’s pulse. One minute passed, another and a third. No pulse. Over and over the nurse checked. Nothing. Mrs. Smith and Ms. Nowakoski had an unspoken understanding. They would continue their work until the rescue squad arrived. They would not give up. Four minutes after the call, Sheriff Gary Settle arrived with two CPR-trained deputies. In the fourth or fifth minute — nobody was timing exactly how long — Mrs. Eline said: “She’s got a pulse!” By the time the rescue squad arrived, 13 minutes after they had been called, the girl was breathing and conscious, though confused. ’ \ The girl’s mother, who did not want the family’s name published, credits the teachers for saving her daughter’s life and says she’s thanfcfql for the extra trainingthat made their lifesaving possible. ‘TThey handled <he situation just wonderfully,” she said.' MS. Nowakoski says that neither the school nor the state require CPR training, but she gets recertified every: year on her own time to fulfill the requirements set forth by thfc American College of Sports Medicine. ’ - Mrs. Smith and her husband ([no relation to the principal) have long been volunteers with the Amissville Fire Department. . As for Mrs. Cannon, she still has the sweet, cheerful little girl in he)class. Extensive medical testing found no reason for the girl’s loss of consciousness. She appears to have sustained no brain damage from the episode. Does Mrs. Cannon know CPR? “No,” she laughs nervously. “But 1 will soon. I’ve signed up for a clas$.”; ► Council From Page A-l he was concerned that allowing alcohol to be served at events in the Town Hall would be “one more nail in the coffin of the residential character” of the neighborhood. He noted that local fire department halls could be rented for such activities. Mayor Stewart Willis said, “The role of the government is to serve the community. I would like the building to serve the community. I havp heard no overriding thing driving me to consider the use of alcohol in this building.” On the vote Mr. Gooch, Ms. van RAPPAHANNOCK Business & Service Directory BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.

Mayor Willis, Mr. Skowronski, Charlie Tompkins and Steve Critzer voted to keep the current guidelines. Ms. van Dort reported that the town is continuing to pump almost twice as much water as is being metered. During March 1.2 million galls were pumped and only 650,000 gallons were metered. She said she did not believe all the lost water was because of lines still to be replaced. She said she believes much of it is being allowed to spill from the reservoir. “It takes energy and chemicals to pump this amount of water that is being wasted,” she said. Mayor Willis reported that the town hopes to start work on the extension of new lines soon and to finish by the end of June when VDOT is scheduling repaving for town streets.

Opened on April 1 and owned by Betty and Clyde Pullen, it is located at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route b 12 just east of the town of Sperryville, in the building which used to be the Old Hollow Grocery. The Pullens spent months working on the building to get it ready to house ir;.*- '■ . V their antiques, painting it and adding a new sign. The sign was designed and completed by son-in-law Sean Knick (he made the letters) and Jane Wilson, who made the artwork with the trunk in the middle of the sign. Within the next month they plan on opening another three rooms on the • east end of the building, to house old tools, Christmas items, and childrens’ things. The two main rooms display a wide variety of china and glassware, <i L J Sean Knick and Jane Wilson created the new sign. The new store features a selection of kitchen wares. | t'" ' RAAC Movie 'White' Set for Theatre Friday The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) will present the award-winning film, “White,” at The Theatre in Washington on Friday, April 19 at 8 p.m. “White” is the late Krzysztof Kieslowski’s second film in a trilogy based on the colors of the French flag that has included “Blue” and “Red” (presented here last season). Mr. Kieslowski is part of the great-director pantheon that includes Jean Renoir, Federico Fellini, Yasujiro Ozu, Max Ophuls and Andrei Tarkovsky. 1 In a tribute to the director, Desson Howe, Washington Post film critic, wrote admiringly about Kieslowski as he told about his December 1994 telephone interview with him. “Of all the cinematic luminaries 1 was planning to interview, including Martin Scorsese, Zhang Yimou and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, Kieslowski was the ofie'I was most excited about. His use of hues — and the way he made them illuminate the most elusive of human desires — was part of what defined his graceful talent. “‘White’ is a continuing testament to the Polish director’s poetic mastery. Like all his works, ‘White’ articulates a whole language of sensations, images, ironies and mystery — often with minimum dialogue. But it is no rarefied, abstract exercise. The movie, about a Paris-based Polish expatriate who has lost his wife and everything else, aches with human dimension.” After his dark-horse 1991 hit “The Double Life of Veronique,” Mr. Kieslowski became famous for his camera’s breathtaking swoops and sexy plunges, and for teasing story lines that couldn’t be pinned down. The director upset his many admirers when he announced in 1994 that “Red” would be his last film because he wants to spend the rest of his days smoking cigarettes on a quiet bench somewhere. 1 I Fun Show Coming Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Richard Abell and Sid Gottlieb enjoy Jean Falk’s clowning as they rehearse for Open Theatre Saturday. lamps (some are made from old kerosene lamps), linens, quilts, insulators, furniture (including an iron bed and dining room set), old trunks, baskets, crocks and more. The linens include crocheted pillowcases and embroidered linens. The kitchen section is packed full of utensils, dishes, bowls, dish towels, old canning jars, a pie safe, and glassware. A lot of these items suit people who collect, but some will go to people who use them every day. Old canning jars are a wonderful addition to any kitchen counter both for their good looks and to hold dried beans, pasta, coffee beans, or whatever. The colorful insulators and some old jars and bottles are displayed beautifully in front of a window which is stunning when backlit by the sun, especially since some of the insulators are a deep purple. Mrs. Pullen and Kathy Pullen (Kathy is Clyde Pullen’s sister) are the two employees of the shop, keeping it open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kathy lives in Old Hollow, so she has a very short ride (or walk) to get to work. She was employed at the Aileen plant in Flint Hill for 18 years but said she really enjoys working at Attic Treasures, working on setting up displays and talking to the people who come in. The customers have been about half local and half out-oftowners, she said. Betty Pullen worked for seven years in retail for the Faith Mountain Company, at the shop on Main Street Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Sunlight shows off a large collection of insulators, canning jars and bottles. •V, in Sperryville. She said, “I am fortunate enough to have had one of the greatest teachers there ever was — Cheri Woodard,’’ adding that Mrs. Woodard is the one who taught her everything she knows about selling, shopping for products, and “the whole nine yards” about retail experience. When Mrs. Pullen first started working at Faith Mountain and said she did not have retail experience, she said that Mrs. Woodard told her, “That is okay. You will learn.” It’s obvious that she has. Mrs. Pullen said she is trying to reach more than one group of people. She sees her shop as a place where people of all ages can come in and find a gift for someone; there have already been several children shopping there. Images of Fairfax Raise Local Issues By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Bruce Blundell’s “Collection of intimate photographic landscapes — Natural Fairfax County,” made in 1994, ‘95, and ‘96, on display at the Middle Street Gallery for the month of April, are of sequestered places, mostly in parks, around the periphery of the county. Because the pictures are recent, some of them reflect the flood we all Photo by Bruce Blundell The showing of Bruce Blundell's photographs of Fairfax County will continue through April 28. 'The Secret Garden' Coming Fauquier Community Theatre will present the musical, The Secret Garden the first three weekends in May at The LOFT, beside the Post Office at 9 North Third St. in Old Town Warrenton. Pulitzer prize author Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon’s lyrical shimmering music have generated a grand Toni Award production that had its World Premeire at Virginia Stage Company (Norfolk) in the 1980s before going to Broadway. The FCT production will be directed by Eddie Schwartz of Warrenton, and will feature a very strong vocal cast from across Northern Virginia. The Secret Garden is about the healing power of love, and the miracle of rebirth. The score creates a world where lost loves are found, lost lives are saved, spring comes again. and beauty reigns. Some memorable songs from The Secret Garden include “Lily’s Eyes” (also known as Hazel Eyes), “Hold On” and “Race You To The Top Of The Morning.” The major leads of the cast are Rosilie Schunter of Culpeper and John Hollinger of Fredericksburg. The ensemble cast includes performers from Arlington, Clifton, Aldie, Manassas, Fredericksburg and Fauquier County. Performances will be 8 p.m. May 3,4, 10, 11, 17 and 18 and 2 p.m. May 5, 12 and 18. Ticket Outlets in Warrenton are BJ’s Books, The New Leaf Bookstore, and G. Willikers Toys & Books. Evening ticket prices are $12 foi adults and $10 for seniors and student. Matinee prices are $10 adults and $8 for seniors and students. experienced in 1995. In “Moonrise, Fraser Preserve” dangling “fruit” on trees are caught flood debris, indicating a high water level. Nearly all of the pictures include water or snow. In several scenes, the water has been shot so that it looks somewhat like lava, flowing among stones sharply displaying lichen growth. Other pictures take advantage of reflections on a mirror surface. In “Algal Pond, Great Falls Park,” the brightness and light of the sky makes a sparkling foreground water image of leaves and branches. Only in one picture is there sign of the local fauna. Mr. Blundell has caught a “follow the leader” parade of three snapping turtles of descending size leaving “Hidden Pond” walking up a partially submerged branch. One especially moving scene of snow and trees, “Winter Wetland, Mason Neck,” shows a dreamy and mysterious vision of a world of cold mist. Several of the pond and stream scenes lead one’s eye to an end that suggests, a oriental gardens do, more to discover that is out of sight. Photography creates an immediate, accessible image, the occult phase of this art is in the development of the r picture as well as in the artist’s approach to his subject and the picture’s composition. Why this picture? The gradations of gray, the play of light on material surfaces are suggestive, as is the brush work in an oriental ink painting. The stark difference between these two kinds of landscapes is that the painter chooses everything while the photographer has to make what is there. Mr. Blundell shows us that natural Fairfax has many faces where beauty can be found in abandoned countenances. I was drawn to “Plunge Pool, Scott’s Run,” a place not far from where 1 used to live in McLean. It is good to know that among those stark and handsome rocks and in front of a wild spray, a bather could take a secluded and natural bath. Bruce Blundell htts ingeniously ferreted out the secrets of a largely urbanized county that less than fifty years ago was a rural, farming community. He makes us wonder if we can hold on to what nature has endowed us with in Rappahannock. 1 Songs of Spring Photo by Hugh 1'alman La Rondinella, clockwise from upper left, Paul Bensel on recorder, Howard Bass on lute, messo-soprano Barbara Hollinshead and Carolyn Anderson Surrick on viola da gamba, will entertain at The Theatre.

Recently, someone sent me the following: “Birthday Greetings! You know what they say about old age: It's all in your mind... (and legs, arms, neck, arches, back, shoulder...)." It is easy to appreciate the humor (and reality) of the card. But your birthday is more than that; even more than a milestone. It is a road marker pointing to new experiences, reminding you that the future,is not-yet but can-be. It suggests the un-mapped road promises life un-lived, un-marred, just waiting for your touch. Birthday is a “new year" that holds within its muted grasp all sorts of gifts yet unknown. There will be days of darkness as well as brightness; days of sorrow together with joy; days of tears mingled with laughter. But each emotion and experience is needed to weave the tapestry of life so it will stand out in bold-relief, declaring the love and life are real."

Meat Cookery: Science Behind Sizzle By HELEN SMITH • Extension Agent, Home Economics Whether you are a gourmet chef, or just put on your apron and hat for an occasional outdoor barbecue, you have most likely been in charge of the meat for a meal at one time or another. That means taking the credit, or the blame, for the way the meat turns out. Understanding what happens to meat during cooking could be a real asset to you during your next culinary adventure. Cooking meat enhances its appearance and flavor, helps improve its tenderness and destroys any potential bacteria and parasites that could cause human illness. When meat is cooked, the meat proteins begin to break down, or denature. With cooking, the muscle proteins begin to become more rigid and tougher. At 147 degree F (medium rare), the proteins begin to harden. And, as the internal temperature increases over 147 degree F, tenderness may decline. So, the longer meat is cooked above medium rare, the tougher it can become. During cooking, the water holding capacity1 of the proteins decreases And water is lost from the meat. Enzyme activity within the meat increases during cooking, which helps to increase tenderness in the meat. As the meat cooks, the flavor and aroma ar^ enhanced. I Cooking also affects the collagen proteins. Between 125 degree and 140 degree F, the collagen begins to shrink and toughen. With the presence of moisture, however, the collagen forms a gelatin, therefore helping HOME ECONOMICS to tenderize the meat. That is why cooking in liquid is a tenderizing method. The cooking rate also affects the final meat product. The faster and hotter the cooking method, the greater the loss of moisture and fat in the meat, and possibly the greater the toughness. So, what does all of this mean? The most important thing for you to know is the type of cut you are buying, whether or not it is considered to be a “more” or “less” tender cut of meat, how it should be cooked and at what temperature. The “more” tender cuts of meat should be roasted in a slow oven at 300 degrees to 325 degrees F. They include: beef rib roast and sirloin tip roast, leg of lamb, pork Boston butt, fresh ham or cured ham. Some “more” tender cuts of meat may be broiled at 400 degree F, including: beef T-bone, porterhouse, ribeye and strip loin steaks; pork rib and loin chops; and lamb loin and rib chops. Cuts that may be pan broiled include: beef, sirloin, ribeye, T-bone and porterhouse steaks or ground patties; pork blade, loin and rib chops; and lamb rib, loin chops or ground patties. For pan-frying or stir-frying, use beef top round or sirloin steaks, pork rib chops or lamb loin chops. Now, for the “less” tender cuts, use “moist heat” methods (cook in a liquid). To braise meat, cook it tightly covered in a small amount of liquid. Use the beef arm roast or 7-bone roast, pork country-style ribs or lamb shoulder chops. Or, for stewing, use beef stew meat or boneless brisket, pork picnic roasts or lamb shoulder meat or stew. For best results in cooking any type of cut, cook at a low temperature without overcooking the meat. For more information on meat cookery, contact the Rappahannock County Extension Office by calling 675-3619. The following recipes for cooking beef on the grill are from the Virginia Cattlewomen’s Association.

BALDWIN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer A group of approximately thirtyone met at the mouth of Wharton Hollow for a trip to the old Kayhill place, formerly the Keyser homestead on Red Oak Mountain. The owner, Mr. Paul Barkley had three weeks previous given his permission for today’s event. Mr. Barkley had also given permission for the road to be cleared for passage up the hollow. Two Saturdays were spent in the undertaking by Daniel R. Keyser, his wife, $allv, their son, Danny, and their graroson, Josh. Mr. Daniel Keyser, son of Mrs. Addie Keyser of Washington, Virginia and the late Robert Lee Keyser was host and narrator. Supportive comments were made by Mr. Keyser’s brother and sisters. Robert and Addie Wharton Keyser moved to Red Oak Mountain 4n 1932. They left the place for awhile, returning again in 1938. In 1938 they bought the thirty-seven acre farm with all its appurtenances for $500. The family remained here from 1938 until 1943, selling and moving to just outside Washington County Marriage License Issued The following marriage license w^s issued recently at the Rappahannock Clerk’s Office. • Joseph Edward McCullough Jr., Washington and Laura Noelle Littleton, Ashbum. • were Mrs. Keyser still resides. Mrs. Keyser’s roots were here, her great-grandfather, grandfather, father, uncles, aunts and cousins owning most of the property up the hollow. Thus the reason for a Keyser family’s presence on the mountain. There were five children born to Robert and Addie of which only one is a true native of this place. The narration included stories of happiness, mishaps, work, fun, death, etc., all conducive to a well balanced life, although a hard life. A life where money was scarce and luxuries few. A story of a true mountain family struggling in an economy crippled by the not too distant Great Depression of 1929. A story, though not begun on the mountain, was inspired on the mountain and to whom the mountain still calls. Mr. Keyser worked on neighboring farms for about $125 per annum. Mr. and Mrs. Keyser acquiring the mail route from Rock Mills to Woodville for a meager $33 per month. She driving on good days, he on bad. They also manned the look out tower on Red Oak Mountain for a period of seven years. For the short span of time they lived here many events took place that made indelible impressions upon the young minds of Mr. Daniel Keyser and his siblings. The 1942 flood, worst in Rappahannock County’s history, was discussed. The murders of Eddie, Sadie and Ethel Johnson at Huntly Post Office and Store in 1941. Their burials being at the Cannon Cemetery just across the river on Aaron’s Mountain Road because Mrs. Johnson was a relative of the once popular Cannon family of Rock Mills. Also, in 1941 when soldiers came SUBSCRIBE TO THE RAPPAHAmOCK NEWS.

The school consisting of two rooms only one of which was used and. in which were taught four grades. After the school’s closing in 1941 or 1942, the children then went to Little Washington. Thirty-two children coming out of r* Wharton Hollow to catch the bus at Rock Mills. Thirty-two children who were all related! After leaving the mountain and moving to* Washington, Mr. Keyser died at the age of thirty-six in 1945. Video tape and photographs have forever captured Saturday’s event. Thanks to the vivid memories of this group of kind folks, a little history has been saved. A little insight gained in days gone by of a stalwart, hearty mountain family whose English ancestry must have afforded them the strength and courage to endure.
