Allen's Goals 2000 Veto Sustained By TERRY SCANLON Capital News Service RICHOND — After an unusually long legislative session when Democratic lawmakers saw many of their spending plans approved, Gov. George Allen managed to find a little redemption as the Democratcontrolled General Assembly suffered one defeat after another during last Wednesday’s veto session. The most anticipated showdown — and one of only a few budget battles — came early when the House failed to override Gov. Allen’s veto on Goals 2000, the highly publicized federal funding package for public schools. The governor has contended for two years that accepting the nearly $7 million would allow federal bureaucrats to manipulate the policy of Virginia educators. Democrats say that the funds, which were appropriated in the 1995 federal budget and remain available until the end of June 1996, would arrive with no strings attached. “It’s merely an attempt from the U.S. government to reach goals that send help to schools,” said Sen. Stanley S. Walker, DNorfolk, co-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr. supported the compromise reached at the end of the regular session that would have ordered the state to apply for the federal aid only if twothirds of the state’s school boards requested the funding. By the April 17 veto session, 85 school boards including Rappahannock’s — one more than the required number — had asked the state to apply for the federal funding , ■ - . • from “Goals 2000: Hie Educate America Act.” “It’s clearly the will of the people,” Mr. Beyer said, indicating that the requests came from school boards throughout the state. Gov. Allen also vetoed more than $3.2 million earmarked for Virginia Community Action Re-entry System Inc., also known as VaCARES, a statewide system assisting people released from prison in becoming reacclimated with society. “The state does very little to make it easy for someone getting out of prison to find a home or get a job,” Mr. Beyer said. “Unfortunately, we set ourselves up by finding their next home — in prison a couple of months later.” Gov. Allen said he vetoed the measure See Veto, Page A-6 Hudsonpillar Dies In Weekend Wreck Police Continue Investigation By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Brandon W. Hudsonpillar, 23, a 1991 graduate of RCHS, died last Sunday from injuries he received in an auto accident the evening before. Mr. Hudsonpillar, who has been living and Working in Fairfax, was one of three back seat passengers in a 1985 Toyota Celica who were thrown from the vehicle when it hit a tree near the bridge on Route 729, one mile north of Route 618 in Castleton. The accident occurred last Saturday about 7 p.m. according to State Trooper Charlie R. Fox. He said it appeared that the three were not wearing seatbelts, which are not required for back seat passengers. Trooper Fox said the car, which was driven by Angela M. Zboray, 18, of Fairfax, apparently came around the curve too fast, estimated at roughly 70 mph. When it crossed into the pther lane, the driver overcorrected, and the car hit a tree off the right side of the road. Ms. Zboray was airlifted to Fairfax Hospital along with Mr. Hudsonpillar and Gejorge Jeffrey Ocilka, 19, of Fairfax, who was sitting in the front passenger seat when the accident occurred. Two other back seat passengers were transported to Fauquier Hospital and treated for minor injuries. They were Kenderick L. Wade, 20, of Fairfax, who was sitting behind the driver, and a 17 year-old female from Fairfax, who was seated in the middle of the back seat. In a telephone conversation Tuesday morning a hospital spokesperson told the Rappahannock News Ms. Zboray and Mr. Ocilka .■".I:,' "4U! 1 JL1 remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Fairfax Hospital. In order to get the front seat passengers out of the car, rescue workers had to cut the roof off the car. Trooper Fox said that within the next week a reconstruction of the accident will be done as part of the investigation, and that no one has yet been charged in the accident, ■tteay y- ' i ■ ■■■ ail Brandon Hudsonpillar mamm ...—■ — 1 - .—— Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan The Toyota Celica was towed to Settles Garage in Flint Hill.

Fodderstack Race Leads Weekend Activities . By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahaaaock News Staff Writer It promises to be another of those quiet weekends in the country. With the 18th Annual Fodderstack 1 OK Classic scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday in Flint Hill, the annual Spring Event at the Washington Baptist Church, also beginning at 10 a.m., and the countywide cleanup set to culminate in a cleanup . Rappahannock News Hie photo Paul Loebach has come in first overall for the past two years. X at the county park scheduled from 3 to 6 p.m. followed by a pot-luck picnic, Saturday, will be a full day. For those for whom this is not enough, Saturday will also include a Spring Bazaar at Wakefield Country Day School from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the opening of the RAA baseball season at Stuart Field in Amissville at 12:30 p.m. Registration for the Fodderstack 10K has been moved to the Flint Hill Fire Hall, on Route 641, the Fodderstack Road. The deadline for pre-registration has passed, but registration in advance of the race will occur from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the fire hall. The cost is $17 per runner. The race is still scheduled to start from the warehouse on U.S. 522, follow the Fodderstack Road to Washington and conclude in front of the Courthouse. The race is divided into an open and nine age-specific categories for males and females, as well as the Eva Smith Memorial races for Rappahannock County residents only. The major sponsor of the Fodderstack Classic is the Inn at Little Washington which furnishes T-shirts to the first 250 finishers. The course records of 31:26 for men and 36:46 for women have stood for several years. The Virginia Savings bank of Front Royal is offering $300 cash for a new course record. If both records are broken the winners will get $150 each. Several of last year’s winners have registered. Berkeley Hobson, who won last year in the 12 and under category is competing this year in the more demanding 13 to 18 category. Mark Jenkins, who won the Eva Smith trophy for Rappahannock men for the past two years and also won his 13-18 division, will be back as will Caleb Proper who was third in the 13-18 category. As of Monday, Holly Gangel, who also won the Eva Smith for the past two years, had not preregistered. Lowell Owsley of Rixeyville has run in every Fodderstack Race, and he will be returning. At the Washington Baptist Church a major part of the Spring Event is the silent auction. Organizers have managed to col lect many prize offerings for bidders including nights at local bed and breakfast businesses and dinners for two at local restaurants. Other items offered include gift certificates from area merchants, a print by Jeff MacNelly, collector plates, an oriental runner from Early’s Carpet, a mantle clock from Faith Mountain, plants, and “many other fine items too numerous to mention.” Besides the silent auction, the Spring Event also features a plant sale, baked goods, sales from Grandma's attic, and plenty of food and drink. Rappahannock News Stall Photo h> Sharon Kilpatrick The Washington Baptist Church's Spring Event will feature these items, along with many others, in a silent auction Saturday.

Panther Pause By BEcky GAlleqos * fc R It has been said that April ^ showers bring May flowers. I t believe that Rappahannock County High School has adopted this term 1 for ourselves. Not much has been happening at the high school in the month of April. Perhaps the most influential • ■ event is TV Turnoff Week. For *" one week (April 24-31) students, parents and faculty members are - urged to turn off the tube. For their efforts there are many prizes to be ~ awarded. Perhaps the most appealing prize for students, is the opportunity to switch places with the ; '•school principal for a day. A few clubs have taken trips » this month including TSA and ''FBLA. The Technology Students Association traveled rather far to Hampton for a statewide competition. Two of the novice members came out on top. Marshall Gangel and Daniel Ramey placed second in problem solving. The Future Business Leaders went to Baltimore, Maryland, to watch a major league Orioles baseball game. In order to take this trip, each member had to accumulate pdints' by being at meetings and doing things in the club; The National Honor Society also held it’s induction this month. New members are Nathan Flinchum, Kylene Wolfe, Courtney Mauro, Mike Baader, Jonathan Moore, Tonya Lockhart, Stacey Payne, Brock Hermansen, Jessica Lawyer, and Sara Klatko. Despite the April drag, students are eager for the month to come. In May several major projects will get students’ school spirits up! The month begins with the Junior/Senior Prom. This annual event will be followed up by the first annual Mayfest, an arts and technology fair May 10. More details will be included in the May Panther Pause.

Road Cleanup Needs Volunteer Assistance By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer With 300 miles of roads in Rappahannock County and only 18 crew members in the local office of the Virginia Department of 1 Transportation, it would be impossible to keep Rappahannock clean and beautiful without volunteer labor, observes Ron Marshall, VDOT supervisor in Rappahannock. In the Laurel Mills area last Saturday, eight adults and two children picked up enough roadside trash in just two miles to fill dozens of bags. “When people pick up trash like Garden Club Scholarship Offered The Rappahannock County Garden Club will once again offer the Francis J. Leonard Memorial Scholarship grant to a graduating senior of Rappahannock County High School for the purpose of continuing his or her education. A grant of $1,500 will be awarded to a student enrolling in a four-year college or university. An applicant must be a resident of Rappahannock County, a member of this year’s graduating class, be accepted at an accredited school, have a need for financial assistance and be recommended by three nonrelative residents of Rappahannock County. Applications for the grant are available at the guidance department at the high school. this for us, we can do what we’re supposed to be doing, like ditching, putting in drain pipes and patching potholes,” says Ennis Jenkins Jr., a VDOT maintenance supervisor who lives in Washington. Crew member Ronnie Parker, who lives near Ben Venue, says the county would simply stay dirty if it weren’t for volunteer cleaners. “We would be able to clean one or two spots one season, and a couple of others the next, but we wouldn’t be able to cover the whole county at one time and get our other work done.” Beer and soft drink containers accounted for the bulk of the trash around Laurel Mills, said Gary Light, who spent eight hours picking up trash on Route‘618 last Saturday. “1 don’t understand why people can’t just toss their trash on the floors of their pickups and clean them out at the end of the week,” said Bill Fannon, who cleaned alongside Mr. Light. “That’s what I do.” Orange, heavy-duty bags are provided free by VDOT to any individual or group willing to clean Rappahannock’s roadsides or illegal dump sites..

In the plea agreement with the Commonwealth, by taking the Alford plea, Mr. Havstad did not acknowledge that he is guilty of the misdemeanor, but entered the guilty plea because he considered it in his best interest to do so. Mr. Havstad was originally indicted last May for the misdemeanor and two felonies: aggravated sexual battery on a child less than 13 years of age and taking indecent liberties with a child who was less than 14 years of age. The two felonies have been dismissed. In accordance with the plea agreement, between now and the continuVr ance date of May, 1999, Mr. Havstad; must contact the Shenandoah Valley! Sex Offenders Treatment Program in Harrisonburg to schedule an appoint-; ment for evaluation. He must cooper-1 ate in the evaluation. He must also comply with any counselling or treatment recommendations of the program, and reports will be made to the Middle Virginia Court Services.' Program (MCVSP). ; Also during this time, as part of the agreement, Mr. Havstad must not; be alone with a female child between; the ages of five and 13; he must pay for all counselling costs incurred by the victim, which are estimated to be $1,600; he must pay the costs associated with the prosecution; he will.be on local probation supervision with MVCSP; and he must be on good behavior and violate no laws. Until the time the case is again in court in May 1999, no finding of guili will be made by the court.

National TV-TumofF Week overlaps with Countywide Cleanup Week. The schools’ artist-in-residence, Sharon Wyrrick, is encouraging participation in the TV-TumofF program. Organizers have rounded up a variety of prizes for those who manage an entire week without TV. At the high school the most popular prize seems to be a chance to be principal for a day. There are also opportunities to win cash through essay and art contests. Local merchants are collecting testaments from those who manage the TV-less week. There is plenty of evidence that watching a lot of television is mind numbing. A constant barrage of ads urging watchers to spend and consume, gratuitous violence and sexual innuendo and not so innuendo fill the airwaves. Young children are prone to develop short attention spans from television viewing; teenagers are exposed to horrifying role models, and adults can suddenly discover that hours have slipped away with nothing accomplished. Not all the trash is on television. Hours spent “surfing the internet,” or playing computer games can be as wasted as hours spent before a television, although these activities are slightly more interactive. And, of course, there is plenty of trash to read. But the trash that comes to mind most readily is along the county’s highways and stream beds. Hunt Harris of the Ragged Mountain Resource Center is coordinating the countywide cleanup, supplying bags and checking to see which group or individual qualifies'Tor the $100 prize. VDOT will ensure that the bags of trash find their way to the .landfill. ! The week will culminate with a cleanup at the county park this, [Saturday and a major effort to remove decades of trash from one of [the headwaters of the Rappahannock River in Chester Gap next ! Saturday. ; Once all of that has been accomplished, we can feel self right[eous and go back to frying our. brains in front of the TV set. What the school REALLY NEEDS \\ it a taper rich Rappahannock Letters | Love You, Mike To the Editor: Subsequent to Mike Massie's diatribe at the last Board of Supervisors meeting, re those of use who object to moving the dumpsters, many people tell me that I was the person referred to as “the low life scum who is ultimately trying to pollute the waters of Virginia and to set government policy.” I understand how traumatic it can be to find so many people disagreeing - with him on the dumpsters. I can certainly feel his pain, but I would like to point out that our citizens do think for themselves and I certainly didn’t sway them, nor do I .have any desire to “set government policy.” I still love you, Mike, and will be happy to bear the brunt of other disappointments. JACK DWYER Flint Hill Take Back Goals 2000 Vote To the Editor: Is there anyone reading this who is not aware that the federal government is overburdened with a huge deficit? Yet the federal government continues to borrow $1 billion a day in order to keep up the pretense of prosperity. The federal government spends money as if it really has it to spend, using tax dollars and borrowed money to pay for programs that generate votes and lull people into complacency. Our Rappahannock School Board recently voted to participate in the federal government’s Goals 2006 program for the expressed purpose of getting $4,000 to $6,000. 1 Where is this money really coming from? We know the U.S. budget is in the red. We know it will have to borrow money to send it to us. We know that taxpayers will have to pay it back with interest in the form of federal taxes. Does it make sense for the federal government to tax people in Rappahannock in order to give it back to us in the form of a Goals 2000 grant? The average person willltdll you that having the federal government tax us in order to give money back doesn’t make much sense. The money should stay right here in the first place. But if you were the federal government, it makes a lot of sense. That’s because it takes a cut of the money to hire bureaucrats to manage Goals 2000. That means more jobs for political supporters. Plus, it gives the federal government control over our schools. Why would our School Board want to do this in return for a few thousands of dollars? It doesn’t make sense to me, especially when you consider that the federal government must borrow the money, and that we must repay it in the form of higher taxes. Each School Board member owes an explanation for their actions to the people in Rappahannock County. If they didn’t understand what they were doing, fine. Then take another vote to reverse the decision to participate in Goals 2000. This is too important a decision to Our Rappahannock Heritage L Rappahannock News StafT Photo by Cindy Mahan Ken Shankle is building stone pillars for signs in front of St. Peter’s Church. L be made without public debate. The people of Rappahannock County never had an opportunity to make their views known. Not one School Board member ran on a platform in favor of Goals 2000. There was no notice to the public that this vote would come before the School Board. The School Board owes it to the people to reconsider their decision. The question of participation in Goals 2000 and its requirements on our school systenj should be opened to public debate. Since the time of the School Board vote, Governor Allen’s veto of Goals 2000 funding has been upheld by the state legislature. Some would say that this makes Goals 2000 a dead issue. But if our School Board has taken steps to make this a local issue, then a full debate of the consequences of Goals 2000 is warranted. WALTER LONGYEAR Washington Support Explained To the Editor: At our April School Board meeting, a resolution asking Gov. Allen to apply for funding from the federal “goals 2000” program was on the agenda and presented by Dr. Gangel. The vote was unanimous in favor of the resolution. Having read a condensed version of the program plus numerous articles in a variety of magazines and newspapers, I had found nothing that would be detrimental to our school system and therefore supported the resolution. Since that meeting it has been brought to my attention by supervisor Ron Frazier that a few residents of Jackson District oppose the program. Mr. Frazier expressed a strong, but non-specific objection. At no time prior to the meeting or in the past two weeks has any resident, other than Mr. Frazier, expressed to me any concerns on this issue that were not supportive. 1 welcome all comments regarding any issues that influence the management of one of the best school systems in Virginia. RON MAKELA . Amissville Support Budget To the Editor: A letter in your paper last week suggested that in regards to the school budget, more money does not necessarily produce better education. While this is true, we need to be sensitive to the fact that there still exists a threshold beyond which it would be irresponsible to cut the budget further. The challenge, of course, is to be able to recognize when that threshold is reached. Unfortunately, it is not an objective exercise that results in a simple yes or no. It is a matter of opinion based on experience and the interpretation of whatever data may be available. In this case, it would serve us well to pay close attention to the opinion of our School Board chairman, who after leading the exercise of cutting $118,000 from the proposed budget, warned that any more cuts could adversely affect the learning process itself. Like our Board of Supervisors, our School Board has genuine credibility and a sincere commitment to doing what is best for our community, all things considered. The cuts it made include administrative and faculty positions in addition to instructional materials. In education, it doesn’t get much deeper than that. This, is a sensitive issue in our county, a county in which all of us want low density and low taxes all within 90 minutes of our nation’s capital. But we must deal with reality and do the right thing. The world is getting smaller, and an investment in our children’s education is an investment in 'this country’s competitiveness. The more self-reliant our children are the less it will cost us all in the long run. We are fortunate to have a very dedicated faculty and administration and a fantastic group of volunteers supporting our school system. Our faculty and administration have committed themselves to doing all they can to make Rappahannock County schools the schools of choice. Their professionalism and maturity go well beyond merely meeting “contractual” requirements. Countless hours are spent going above and beyond the cafl of duty in the interest of continuous improvement. Furthermore, we are exceptionally fortunate to have a cor*'* of volunteers who help in a countless number of ways on their own time. Parents, we need to be much more involved. Ask yourself what can you do to support our school system. Urge your supervisor to approve the new . draft of the School Board’s budget.Attend the public hearing on the school budget on Monday, April 29. • Volunteer to help anywhere you can. PAUL A. GALL’, Castleton ■ 4 Support Schools To the Editor: Following months of study and. work sessions, the Rappahannock County School Board cut its proposed budget for 1996-97 by $118,000. As aT result of this action, one administra-' tive position has been eliminated, a« teacher will not return and other cutfc« to increased library and instructional supplies were made. Our school system employees have become very good at squeezing every cent of value out of every’tax dollar entrusted to them. This budget is very lean, and I believe further cuts cannot be made without undermining the quality of our children’s educa- ' tions. The increased funds will help . Rappahannock County keep great' teachers and other critical staff members, and attract the best new employees for the benefit of our children. The Supervisors will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. next Monday, April 29, in the high school auditorium. Call ’ or write your supervisor to encourage ‘ passage of the budget without further cuts. Plan to come to the meeting to support our schools. KATHRYN TREANOR Amissville w In Praise of TV Turnoff Week By MALCOLM SCHANTZ A lady called on me recently to recruit Wakefield Country Day School students for National TV-Turnoff Week. As we chatted, I expressed doubt that many of my pupils spent too much time in front of thfe television set; the school day, sports, the ride home, and homework every night consume most of their waking hours. Nevertheless, 1 agreed with her that television is too much with us, and that its influence is more bad than good. A week of abstaining from watching television struck me as a very worthwhile idea. Television requires no action or thought by the viewer beyond simply turning it on, and it has encouraged more than one generation of young people to sit passively before it and be entertained. The unhealthy expectation of stimulation without engagement has become a part of the youth culture and may underlie its fascination with the highs available from the street comer pharmacopoeia. At the very least, it leads to flaccid imaginations and a weak intellect, in the same way that a lack of physical exercise leads to flaccid muscles and a feeble body. As citizens, we each require the faculty of critical thought to weigh arguments, evaluate evidence, and make distinctions for ourselves about complicated issues. All this requires concentration, patience, and a trained logical mind — not the sort of mental qualities developed in front of a television set. One hears a good deal about the potential of television to instruct and illuminate, a potential I cannot deny. However, there is a perverse kind of Gresham’s Law in effect with regard to television programming; the bad . material ineluctably drives out the good. This tendency is made worse by the introduction of remote controllers and the practice of “channel surfing,” with consequent attention spans that are measured in seconds. Contrast this with the careful and reflective reading required by a poem, play, essay, or novel, and it is easy to see why it’s so difficult to teach literature these days. Also to be deplored is the effect television has had on the family. When 1 was a boy, the evening meal as a regular ritual: a time when the family gathered together around the table not only to break bread, but to share the day’s experiences. Today, except in families that eschew television at meal times, dinner is eaten silently in deference to a popular sitcom or new program. Witness the sad state of table manners among adolescents and young adults today. Without parental training at table, children devise the most appalling methods of conveying food to their mouths, and if left uncorrected carry these barbarisms into adulthood. As a result, etiquette schools have sprung up around the country to train embarrassed young executives in courtesies they should have learned under their parents’ watchful eye. For these and other good reasons, I am convinced that our quality of life would actually be enhanced by withdrawal from television. 1 yse the word “withdrawal” on purpose, because like a drug, television is seductive and addictive. I confess that 1 myself watch entirely too much of it. It is a temptation at the end of a long and strenuous day to distract one’s self with the undemanding fare of the television. 1 enjoy one advantage over most young people today, however. My family had no TV set in our home during my grade school days; neither my boarding school nor the U.S. Naval Academy permitted television in rooms, and 1 spent ten years at sea and six years overseas as an active duty naval officer. 1 had plenty of time away from the glowing tube to learn the pleasures of reading, and reading remains by far my favorite solitary pastime. The ubiquitous television set and its siren call is unlikely to go away; indeed, designs for bigger, better TV receivers and satellite systems for transmission are well underway. And after all, television in reasonable doses is harmless. It is controlling the strength of the dosage that requires an act of will. That’s why the TV turnoff pledge is attractive to me. Only through an exercise of will can television be made to take its rightful, minor, place in our lives. The pledge to forego TV for a week is a positive, constructive step in forging the selfdiscipline to assume control of our lives, our minds, and our values. Editor's note: Mr. Schantz is the head master at Wakefield Country Day School.

Baseball Has 2nd Win I | Willie Eastham threw a four hit shoutout against Brentsville the defending state champions last Tijesday improving his record to 1-2. 'The Panthers collected six hits. Jen Atkins and Chris Sealock sparked the hitting attack by safely collecting tw|o hits apiece. The Panthers scored or(e nin in the fifth inning when Chris Sealock led off the inning with a singly to center field, Jeff Atkins responded with another single and Jon Butler added the third scoring Chrus for the run. ■i In the sixth inning Willie Eastham walked then stole second base, and GijifTin Ward singled to knock Willie in [for the Panthers second run. [ Away the Panthers fell to Central Wednesday (9-1), despite a good team effort. j Jon Digges absorbed the loss while recording an impressive ten strikeouts. Central pounded out nine hits, five of wtyich were for extra bases. [ The Panthers tallied eight hits, thfee of which were for extra bases. The Panthers hitting attack was led by Jon Butler and Carlos Cerecer. Carlos also scored the lonely Panther run in thi fifth inning after he doubled followed by Jon Butler’s double. » 3 “We didn’t get the hits when we needed them” said Coach Donn Hackney. “We left eight runners on base. All we needed was one big inning to break the game open, but we didn’t get it.... It as a tough loss for Jon because he pitched a good game,” said Coach Hackney. “We’re getting better though; we’ve come a long way and we have a lot to be proud of.” The Panthers lost to the Strasburg Rams at home on Friday by a score of 12-1. “We were out hit” said Coach Hackney. The Rams are the best team the Panthers have seen this year according to coaches Hackney and Settle. They described the Rams as a well disciplined team who make contact with the ball and will take advantage of mistakes. Jon Digges hit a towering home run to left field in the third inning. This was his first of the season and the only Panther run. According to Coach Hackney defensively the Panthers are making fewer mistakes and less costly ones. They are a team to watch, a young team that promises to get better as the season rolls on. Softball Drops 4 More By SHARON KILPATRICK RappahanaockNcwi Staff Writer It has been a discouraging week fof'the RCHS softball team as they lost four more games. *' Last Tuesday in a home game the ■ Paitther squad went down 19 to 2 to Brentsville. Early in the game pitcher Katy Paratore was hit in the face by a line drive back to the mound. Kylene Wolfe came in in relief. RCHS got only two hits by Courtney Welch and Kylene Wolfe. “That’s the best team in the district. They have two real good pitchers, and we faced one and couldn’t get hits off her,” Coach Carl Payne said. In an away game with Central ' h*> Track Team Improves By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock Contributing Writer Last Wednesday evening Rapp’s trqck team defeated Page by ten points tocome in second. The team, however, could not manage to get ahead of their host opponent, Brentsville. .'“We knew we had to make up for Monday’s bad loss, and it worked pretty well,” Emily Sims stated. All of the girls agreed the highlight of the event was that they had more points than the boys 48 to 47. i “I think we did pretty good over I alii and we had good team work too. f Tlie work we need now is in the pracI tices,” added Tommy Baldwin. Wednesday the team lost 23 to 3. Again hits were too few. Courtney Welch got two, a single and a double, Cari Kerr had two singles, and Kylene Wolfe added a single. Against Strasburg on Friday hitting picked up, but the Panther squad went down 15 to 6. “That’s the only game we really hit the ball good this year,” Coach Payne said. Katy Paratore had a single; Courtney Welch had a double; Cari had four hits, three singles and a double; Kylene had three hits, a single, double and triple; Mandy Welch had a single, and Julie Atkins had two singles. “It was a pretty good game. We made critical errors and walked 17 batters, but it wasn’t as bad as the score showed,” Coach Payne said. Then Monday the team went down 16 to 15 to Luray. “We didn’t hit,” he said. Courtney Welch had a single; Cari had a double and single, Angie Atkins had a single, Kylene Wolfe had a double, Stacey Payne had a single. “We left runners on base and didn’t hit well tonight,” Coach Payne said following the game. He was pleased with the defense that only made two errors and with his pitchers, Katy and Kylene. They gave up 25 walks, but “they were around the plate,” he said. “I’m really proud of both of them. It’s just a matter of time. Both have gained confidence, and I have a lot more confidence in them. I’m pleased with wherp^we’ve come with our pitching.’ lack of hiti is bothering him >st now. “We’rgjeapable of doing it; ^re just not doing it,” he said. Vi Do You Enjoy Today’s Political Campaigns?

I Wednesday, April 24, 1996 Soccer Teams Struggle By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer Midway through their seasons the high school’s soccer teams are struggling. After getting off to a rousing start with a win over Warren County away, the varsity managed only a 1 to 1 tie with Warren County at home and has dropped games to James Wood and Central 2 to 0. The junior varsity is looking for its first win. That is understandable because they .have been facing generally older more experienced players. On Wednesday they face a St Luke’s a team that is actually even younger. Last week they lost to Fauquier 7 to 1. “We had a bad day,” Coach Mark Pace said. “The competition is stiff. We’re playing out of our age and size group.” He sees improvement in his team as they get used to the competition, however. Most of his players are eighth graders. Some of them have experience in travel leagues, but many do not. Several of his players are girls, and they are playing teams from schools that have separate girls’ teams. “I think they’re getting something out of it,” he said of his players. Of the varsity team’s 2 to 0 loss to Central, Coach Kenny Rogers said, “I don’t have any excuses. We didn’t score and they did. I thought we controlled the ball most of the game. Sooner or later we’ve got to come up with something.” He said of his team, “I think we were a better team than Central today. We controlled the ball better, but we didn’t finish.” The game was played following a tough 2 to 0 away loss to James Wood the night before. “That was a tough fight. We were pretty evenly matched,” Coach Rogers said. The back to back games may have had an effect at the Central game. “The boys were real sore. They were a little slow. I hope we beat them next time.” The varsity will face Quantico in a home game Friday evening at the end of a three-game week. Two weeks ago the Rappahannock Soccer League interrupted its spring schedule of games to host a soccer training camp b/the John Ellis Soccer Academy of Fairfax. About 75 players, coaches and aspiring referees attended the camp, with everyone giving it rave reviews. For information on summer soccer camps contact Cabin Fever Books at 675-1300. The bookstore in Washington is distributing various information brochures. The U-13 Culpeper Comets played to a 3 to 3 tie with the Stafford Scorpions last Friday. This travel team includes five players from Rappahannock County: Sky Watson, Chris Beck, Steven Clark, Brant Marlett and Shawn Torrance. Each team got a goal off a corner kick in the first half. Sky, Watson’s corner kick was tipped in by Britton Hitt for the Comets first goal. All Rappahannock players are contributing solidly to this team which also includes boys from Culpeper, Fauquier, and Orange counties.

Kite Fly Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Katy Vance and Bobbie Jo Brown made kites at the Girl Scout tent during the Earth Day Kite Fly at Ben Venue Farm Saturday afternoon. From Page A-l ► Veto because he considered it a vehicle for preventing competition. “The named organization and any others offering the needed services should be afforded the opportunity to compete on a fair and equal basis for these grant funds,” he said. The governor also eliminated a number of pork items in the two-year biennial budget that takes effect July 1. Nearly $1 million allocated for a small medical school in the district of House Majority Leader C. Richard Cranwell, D-Roanoke County, was vetoed by Gov. Allen because he said it could not be justified as economic development. Del. Cranwell attempted to persuade his chamber to reverse Gov. Allen’s decision by employing theatrics such as showing photos of children and listing people who would be affected. “These are real folks and these are real students,” Del. Cranwell said. “We don’t ask for a whole lot in Southwest Virginia — every now and then just a crumb to fall off the table.” Fairfax County also took a blow from Gov. Allen’s pork-cutting pen. He axed an attempt by George Mason University President George W. Johnson to privatize part of the university and streamline its operations. Gov. Allen said he was dismayed with the lack of accountability the new Johnson designed corporation wpuld possess. “Entities receiving and spending tax dollars must remain ultimately accountable to the owners of Virginia’s government — the people,” Gov. Allen said in his veto of the legislation. “The university’s president has made it quite clear that he would rather see the bill vetoed than to agree to the accountability I view as essential.” Gov. Allen also billed legislation that would protect consumers only in Fairfax County who contract for future services in lawn care, dating service and martial arts instruction. He said the measure is limited and would mislead consumers. “This bill applies only to three types of future services contracts which encompass only a minuscule percentage of all service-related con; tracts,” he said in his veto. “Such fine line drawing based on subject matter and geography will make little sense to ordinary consumers.” In another development, House Democrats reluctantly succumbed to the governor’s demand to give him the complete budget bill for the current biennium so he can review the entire budget rather than just the “caboose bill” that covers changes for the final few months of this fiscal year. Democratic leaders argued that they followed the same procedure last year, saying if the governor doesn’t have any substantive objectives with the bill he shouldn’t slow down the process and threaten a court battle. “We have struggled mightily with this question. If there’s no substantive differences, why was this gauntlet thrown down?” Del. Cranwell asked. “There’s too much of this going on in Washington, D.C., and we don’t want to do that in Virginia.” ^Republicans countered by suggesting that the issue at hand concerned separation of powers. Del. Robert F. McDonnell, RVirginia Beach, said the sanctity of the governor’s line-item veto authority was at stake. “Failing to (submit the entire budget) would have a terrible precedent on the future for any governor,” he said.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1996 Slate Mills Farm To Host Artists'Workshop Susan Sarback, founder of the School of Light and Color, will conduct a five-day workshop on seeing and painting the radiant color inherent in light at Shimmering Meadows Farm Studio in Slate Mills from June 1 to 5. The workshop is designed to help the artist deepen his understanding of light and color, expand color perception, and bring this new awareness into painting,. “Full-Color Seeing” is the name for this specific method of seeing and painting color as affected by the surrounding light. Ms. Sarback was a student of master colorist Henry Hensche who taught for over 50 year at his school, the Cape Cod School of Art in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Cape Cod School was founded in 1899 by Mr. Hensche’s teacher Charles Hawthorne, a contemporary of Claude Monet. Mr. Hawthorne was interested in devising a teaching method for painters to learn to see and paint with the vision of the Impressionists. At the Cape Cod School he taught a new way of seeing and painting color that enabled the artisi to paint with the radiance of Monet. At her school located in Fair Oaks, California Ms. Sarback has continued to refine the teaching of seeing and painting color. Her advanced techniques are virtually unknown in art schools and universities. From the beginning of her studies she knew that she wanted to share what she was learning. Following many, years of learning, teaching, and painting using the methods of “Full-Color Seeing,” Ms. Sarback authored a book Capturing Radiant Color which was published in 1994 by North Light Books. The Color Intensive Stillife and Landscape Workshop is sponsored by the Art League School located in Alexandria. Sessions last from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide 31 private acres of rolling meadows with beautiful vistas of the Hazel River. Students will paint indoors in the Shimmering Meadows Farm Studio as well as outdoors on the private grounds. The workshop is open to the public and is for all painting levels front beginner to professional. It is best suited to opaque mediums such as acrylic, pastel or oil. The workshop fee is $425. Lunch and beverages will be provided. Space is limited and the registration deadline is May 5, so interested parties should enroll soon. For further information or to enroll, call the Alexandria Art League School at (703) 683-2323 or Carol Vogel, director of the Shimmering Meadows Farm Studio, at 547-4385. There are many color theories: local color, expressive color, color theory, personal color, imaginary color, symbolic color, and full-color seeing. “Full-Color Seeing” is based on direct observation from life rather than on imagination, theory, or memory. It relies solely on vision (teaching the student to see with an increased awareness) thereby catching the subtleties of light and color that are normally lost. Light affects color — an object appears to be different colors at different times of the day and under varying weather and seasonal conditions. The artist is taught to see the full-spectrum of color in objects. Students begin with preliminary training exercises followed by application to still life and landscape subjects. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who is a lover of color and/or who wishes to be able to capture the radiant color of nature! Susan Sarback Green Ginger Farm Sells Naturally Raised Beef By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Andy and Maggi Pearcy’s main product at Green Ginger Farm in Castleton is natural farm raised beef. Natural, says Mrs. Pearcy, means no growth hormones and no antibiotic feeds. “Our animals are raised on the milk from the cows, hay, grain and water,” she said. They do not use protein additives, there is no chickealitter in the feed (which is a protein supplement), and there are no animal parts in the feed. The herd of Tarentaise cattle, which they started with stock from Laurel Hill Farm three years ago in June, numbers about 30 now. They graze on the 55 acre farm in Castleton and on a 20-acre plot in Slate Mills and 45 acres elsewhere in the county. The Tarentaise breed originated in die Beef from French Tarantaise cattle is exceptionally lean. Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps and is said to be an exceptionally lean beef. Mrs. Pearcy said that their cattle have never been sick, adding that she thinks if a healthy environment is maintained the animals will not get sick. The Pearcys plan on keeping their business small, sending out two to four steers each month for processing. Their philosophy is to not take anything from the land that they are not returning to it somehow, said Mrs. Pearcy. The cattle have a big, roomy shed as Mrs. Pearcy beligyes that space is important to the cattle’s happiness. The cows are artificially inseminated to increase the genetics, and Mr. Pearcy is a certified AI technician. They also have a registered Angus on the premises who was purchased from another farm in Rappahannock. Mr. Pearcy also works as a herdsman on another farm in the county. Mrs. Pearcy left her job at the Faith Mountain Company recently so that she could spend as much time as possible with her one year old daughter Emily and son Eston. She said that she gets as much done as possible on the farm before her husband gets home. She can handle the heavy work Spring Wildflowers Are Tough Yesterday, a warm day in early April, I found the blooms of Hepatica and Shadblow. Now the forward movement of the flowering time of the year is inexorable. Spring, for which I have longed, is here no matter that the temperature may plunge and cold wind sweep in. Flowering of the earth will gain momentum and plants will bloom; I won’t have time to welcome them 3ll. The pale lilac flowers of Hepatica spangled the forest floor with color. The flowers, no more than an inch across, clustered above last year’s brown oak leaves. They looked fragile and vulnerable. The appearance is an illusion; early spring wild flowers are tough and hardy, ready to stand up against, threats of winter’s withdrawal. Hepatica blooms look to have five petals; another illusion. The color resides in the sepals, outer parts of the floral envelope which protect the sexual parts of the flower, until nature’s clock tells them to open for passing early bees and butterflies. Hepatica has no petals but its sepals range in color from white through blue to purple. I scrabbled among the dry oak leaves for the source of this flower’s odd and medical-sounding name, Hepatica. The leaves, buried under the remains of October’s leaf fall, are three lobed and purplish — like the liver. Hepatic: in shape and color like the liver. My discovery led me to think about the common names of wild flowers which, on the surface, make no sense at all. What does one.make of Spiderwort, Birthwort and Mitrewort? If the plant at all resembled anything the first settlers knew from England, that is what they called the New World version. Consequently we have Virginia Bluebells, the glory of wet spring woods in Virginia. Our bluebell resembles the common plant in English woodlands only in the color The Virginia Naturalist By John Trott of its flowers. The Doctrine of Signatures explains away many other wildflower names. Ever wonder about the prevalence of wort in names for plants? Wort is the contemporary spelling of the Old English word for plant, or plant-like, wyrt. My Hepatica with pale blue flowers is often referred to as Liverwort in older books. There is some lack of agreement about when the Doctrine of Signatures emerged in Europe. Was it the 13th or the 16th Century? It is not important -but the idea of the belief is certainly of interest. It was believed that, as Genesis states, God put all plants on earth for man’s use. God also gave us a clue, or placed his signature on the plant to guide us toward its use. Hepatica has liver-shaped leaves so would cure ills of that organ. A German physician of the 16th century, with the splendid name of Bombastus, wrote: “I have ofttimes declared, how by the outward shapes and qualities of things we may know their inward vertues, which God hath put in them for the good of man.” (Spelling is from Bombastus; it is certainly not mine.) A common late summer plant is named Boneset because its leaves seem to be jointed together around the stem. It was believed that an infusion of this plant would help mend broken bones. My other early spring sighting was part of the forest understory. The little tree looked as if it, and it alone, had received a fall of feathery snow flakes. I call it Shadblow, but this tree has many common names. This elegant tree, or small shrub, is a welcome sight because the blooms appear long before those of Dogwood, our traditional herald of early spring. It has masses of chalky white flowers about one inch across. My common name refers to the belief that when the tree blooms, shad are swimming up river to spawn. This js translated into: It’s time to go fishing. The origin and meaning of Service of Sarviceberry baffled me for years. In Vermont a few years ago a wise native told me that when death occurred in deep winter when the ground was frozen, the corpse could not be interred, the service held and “from dust to dust” read over the body. Bodies were stored above ground in vaults (often seen in many cemeteries in New England) until the blooming of the tree indicating that the earth was now free from frost and ready for the Service. The same was true in the high mountains of Virginia where Sarvice is an Elizabethan spelling and pronunciation of service. My French is inadequate; I can neither pronounce nor translate the name of this lovely tree in Quebec. Of course I could just refer to this tree by its Latin name, Amelanchier. That would sound pretentious and, besides, Amelanchier is not nearly graceful enough for Shadblow. Shadbush is in the Rose Family, or Rosaceae, along with blackberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, apple and pear and, of course, roses of all kinds. Indeed, the flowers of Shadbush look much like blackberry blossoms. Rappahannock News StafF Photos by Cindy Mahan Andy and Maggi Pearcy enjoy raising cattle naturally at Green Ginger Farm. too, as she has been an accomplished and well-respected sculptor in the county for many years, producing wildlife sculptures of stone or wood, and many of them are quite large. The Pearcys sold beef to their friends for years and started a marketing plan for the beef last summer. One local customer is Mountainside Market which carries their steaks and roasts in the frozen section. The Flint Hill Public House serves their ground beef, and Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern in Washington, which is due to open sometime in May, will be using their beef for roast beef sandwiches. Chef and co-owner John Pearson at the Flint Hill Public House said the beef is fantastic. “It makes a great burger. This has all the flavor the other one does not,” he said, comparing it to the ground beef he used to purchase for the restaurant. Many customers also live out of ' town and order the beef on a regular basis. Charlie Wise, who lives in Northern Virginia and has been a customer since last November, said that he is thoroughly delighted with the product, which he said is like having steak house type beef at home. He said the meat “is wonderful, it is really terrific,” and added that his mother thinks it is the best she has ever had. The beef is available in several different cuts: front or hind quarter, split side quarter, 1/2 steer, whole steer, ground beef, steaks, roasts, and short ribs'. All of the beef is flash frozen after being butchered at Guard Hyil, which is a small family run processor in Front Royal. The meat is all federally inspected and hangs for a minimum of two weeks. The Pearcys also raise hogs and chickens (for eggs) on their farm for their own consumption. , Besides a large vegetable garden, they grow an acre of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes which they sell to Gray Ghost Vineyard and Winery in Amissville. Visitors are always welcome at Green Ginger Farm, but call first at 987-9203. Edinburgh Quartet Conning The Edinburgh Quartet has scheduled a concert at The Theatre in Washington, starting at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, as part of its 1996 tour of the eastern United States. Now in its 36th year, the Edinburgh Quartet is Scotland’s only full-time string quartet, and is one of the most successful in Britain. It has toured throughout the U.K. and in more than 40 countries abroad. The quartet appears on both BBC and Independent television and broadcasts frequently for British and foreign radio stations. Members of the quartet coach at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and they are the quartet-in-residence at the University of Edinburgh. The newly-appointed leader, Peter Tanfield, joins violinist Peter Markham, violist Michael Beeston, and cellist Mark Bailey on this current tour. The Edinburgh Quartet’s repertoire is firmly based in the mainstream of the European tradition, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day. For the concert in Little Washington, the quartet has chosen the String Quartet in G. Major, K387 by Mozart, the String Quartet in'G Major, Opus 18, No. 2 by Beethoven, and the String Quartet, 1990 by Judith Weir. In a recent review of the London premiere of this last work, The Times (of London) wrote of “Judith Weir’s austerely beautiful String Quartet” and commented “This was 15 minutes that passed like five.” The Times, Dec. 6, 1995. Tickets for the concert by the Edinburgh Quartet at The Theatre at Washington are $13.50 with reservation and $15 at the door. Children’s tickets are half price. For reservations phone (540)675-1253. Wood Sculptures Featured The Middle Street Gallery in Washington will present an exhibit of sculpture by Sandra Burton May 3, through May 26. The show, entitled “Images in Wood,” is an expression of imagination combined with the artist’s love of nature and sculptural art. Sandra received her BS degree in Biology from Longwood College, Farmville. She continued her education at the University of Georgia and received as MFA degree with a major in sculpture. Mrs. Burton’s sculpture has been exhibited at the University of Georgia, in Athens, Ga.; Longwood College, Farmville; Shenandoah Artist Inc. Show, Front Royal; and the Annual Fine Arts Exhibit, Fredericksburg. She has been an exhibiting member of Middle Street Gallery since 1993. Believing that every piece of wood has a sculpture in it waiting to be released, Sandra uses old stumps, broken limbs, and wood originally destined for the scrap pile to create her sculptures. The use of these misshapen and odd pieces of wood has inspired her to create figures ranging from the mythological and the abstract to everyday wonders of nature. An opening reception w ill be held at the Gallery on Sunday May 5th, from 3 to 5 p.m. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited to meet Mrs. Burton and view her work. Middle Street Gallery is an artist run, non-profit gallery, located next to the Inn at Little Washington. It is open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 a m. to 6 p.m. For information about the current exhibit or upcoming shows, call the Gallery at 675-3440.

If “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” a compliment a day will give self-esteem to your child. Self-esteem is crucial for a person. How does a child build it? Does he come by it himself? Not really. The beginning of self-esteem happens when parents constantly and consistently COMPLIMENT the child. Children need to hear, “Hey you did a great job.” A pat on the back, a “well done,” “I appreciate you,” “I’m proud of you,” are beautiful words to the ears and ego of the child, whether the child is 5 or 50. Some sons and daughters, now grown, have never heard their parents praise them to their faces. Oh, they hear from others how proud .Yium or rop 01 mein, out iney may nun, noping to near it with ears. And some parents go to their graves, proud as peaches of thi dren, but they never, “said it.” “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets of silver (Proverbs 25:11).
