It will be up to the School Board to decide how to make the cuts, but the supervisors made it quite clear where they want the cuts to come — $30,000 from not appointing anyone to the position of Supervisor of Facilities, including fringe benefits for the position, and $6,000 from not contracting for dumpsters at both schools arid the central office. First the supervisors voted 3 to 2 to adopt the budget by the bottom line, rather than by categories. Hampton District representative Mike Massie made the motion to adopt the budget by categories, and Jackson District representative Ron Frazier seconded the motion. They were the only two to vote for the motion with Chairman Hubert S. Gilkey, Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes and Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson voting “no.” The motion to approve the budget with $36,000 subtracted from the bottom line passed 4 to 1 with Mr. Frazier voting “no.” The $24,000 position of Supervisor of Facilities was put in the budget in place of an administrative position of Director of Administrative Services when the School Board reduced the budget by $118,000. Prior to that the supervisors had made it clear they did not see a need for the position. School Superintendent David Gangel said that having someone in the position had saved the school system money, but he and the board agreed to drop the administrative position and instead hire a “classir fied” employee to oversee maintenance and transportation. In defending the need for the new position, Dr. Gangel said the person has various duties, but is most needed See Budget, Page A-6 Chester Gap Dump Site Cleanup Successful Rappahannock News Contributing Writer At 3:30 Saturday afternoon, Hunt Harris looked akin to the mountain men who settled these parts in the 18th century. His shoulder-length hair was held out of his eyes by a dirty bandana. His boots could hardly be distinguished from the jeans ■shoved into them. Both were brown and moist from mud. Beneath the dirt on his T-shirt, it was possible to make out the words, “Save Earth!” «-w'4bb1 Saturday, though, Mr. Harris was only trying to save a tiny'ipart of the earth: the stream-sized headwaters of the Rappahannock River in Chester Gap. The day before, these headwaters were a dump. Refrigerators, hot water heaters, tires, batteries,'dirty diapers, cans, bottles, concrete slabs — whatever you find in a real dump, you could find here. By late Saturday, the site still looked somewhat dumpy, although enough headway had been made that Mr. Harris could smile through his layers of dirt and say, “I’m delighted. This is a good example of a cross-section of people working together to fix something that has been a blight in this county for years.” Mr. Harris, who heads the Ragged Mountain Resource Center, had help. There were maybe 20 people at the peak period — maybe 30 people total if you count everyone coming and going. That was enough help to fill 14 VDOT dumptruck loads, mostly with scrap metal, and two loads on the flatbed trailer supplied by Mike Brown and pulled by Mike Atkins using the B & B truck. Several pickup trucks were used to remove the rest of the trash. Maybelle Gilkey coordinated lunch for the work group, which included County Administrator John McCarthy and Dr. Werner Krebser, who sits on the Planning Commission. Del. Jay Katzen and his wife Paddy came by to help in the morning. George Swett, who commutes to work as a firefighter in Arlington, had a truck with a winch system. Mr. Harris and others See Cleanup, Page A-3 Trees, Cattle Lost in Saturday Thunder Storm By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last Saturday night’s storm made a big impact on the county. About 9 p.m. that night a large white tent set up on the patio at the Bleu Rock Inn and tethered by six 55-gallon drums full of water was lifted by the wind and set atop the Inn. Employee Kay Kohler said that the diners inside the restaurant watched outside the windows as the tent rose up and landed on the roof, and bounced around up there for a while along with one of the drums full of water. “It was frightening,” she said, adding that the noise from it was amazing. The tent had been set up for a wedding reception held there that afternoon. Now on the roof, the poles are bent every which way. Mrs. Kohler thought it must have been a little twister as part of the storm. A weeping willow growing at the base of the pond was felled completely, and a huge limb from a nearby cherry tree was hit by lightning and on the ground. Bleu Rock Inn owner Bernard Campagne said that a lot of people at his restaurant left that night before having dessert. Beth Gall at RCHS said that the Channel 4 weather center there recorded a peak gust for Saturday night of 43 mph at 9:31 p.m. with rain measured for the weekend at 1.7 inches, while Dennis Wingfield measured 37 mph as the peak gust in Sperryville with a total rainfall of 2.1 inches. Also in Sperryville, west of Bleu Rock Inn on U.S. 211, two of Gray Armistead’s Angus cattle were grazing together when they were struck by lightning. When the vet came out, said Mr. Armistead, he commented that he had never seen cattle hit by lightning who still had grass in their mouths. On land further west down U.S. 211 in Sperryville, a cow owned by John Marshall Clark stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted. At David and Marilyn Armor’s Sharp Rock Farm near Nethers, one of their large bams which they had been renovating was blown down by the storm. They were not home at the time, but when Mr. Armor went out to check on a generator at 3 a.m. Sunday, he noticed by the light of the moon that something out back was wrong and found that the bam had collapsed. He hopes to salvage some of the wood and thinks they can probably still use about two-thirds of the external siding. The Armors plan to use the bam as a winery someday. One of the two maple trees at the end of the driveway at the Middleton Inn in Washington (formerly named “The Maples”) was struck by lightning and fell. Two other trees on the property were also struck. A large tree in the back yard behind Cabin Fever Books in Washington was also felled by the storm. Mr. Wingfield commented that where the Bleu Rock Inn and the high school are are unique areas in the county. He has always felt that the wind and temperatures in that area have been extreme. One good thing though, said Mr. Wingfield, is that all the rain has been great for gardens. The beans and com he planted on April 19 really shot up over the weekend, he said.

► Cleanup i From Page A-l — ‘ would rappel down a steep ravine, parallel to a 40-foot waterfall, hook a stfcel cable to a rusty refrigerator, for example, and Mr. Swett would work his wjnch to slide it up the ravine. Sean Marsh also provided a pickup truck with winch and kept it busy throughout the morning.. In early afternoon the winch gave out, and Mr. Marsh went to work on other cleanup pfojects. Lyt Wood, a local forester, attached ropes and pulleys high in tree limbs to gain leverage for some of the tough hauls. ; Workers attached heavy stuff to the winches. Auto engines, discarded appliances and an amazing variety of stuff was winched out of the ravine where the feeder stream at the top of the Rappahannock River tumbles in a series of waterfalls down from the mountain. ' The bucket loader took over once these things had been winched to the road surface and loaded them into the dump trucks. Other volunteers helped collect smaller items, including dozens of tires and bags of miscellaneous trash to pile on the flat bed trailer. Sheriff Gary Settle came with some inmate labor, but he didn’t leave the dirty work completely to the inmates. The sheriff joined Mr. Harris in the ravine, as the sheriff’s 60-yearold father, Fred Settle, puttered at the top, anxious to assist but unable to do strenuous labor. “I’m glad to see this being done,” said the senior Settle. “That’s why I’m here. People have been dumping here for years, and it’s time.it was stopped.” Mr. Harris has called for volunteers to join him for another all-out effort from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday. “I don’t want us to leave the job unfinished,” he said. “There is still plenty people can do,” he added. He estimated that between two-thirds and three-fourths of the work is done. The side of the road nearest the houses in Chester Gap is the area with the most trash remaining. Mr. Harris said the area along the river is cleaned up to 50 feet below the falls. However, he is concerned that more trash may be buried under the road itself with water leaching through it under the road. He said he would like the Health Department to test the water to see if it is being contaminated. On the way out, Mr. Harris and another volunteer stopped and spoke with Anderson and Jean North, who have lived near the entrance to the waterfall area since the 1960s. They supported Mr. Harris’s plan to put a locked gate just beyond the last house on the public road. Visitors on foot would be able to go around the gate and walk for a quarter mile to get to the site, but the trucks bearing debris would no longer be able to scurry unseen to the secluded place to dump. “We hear them (the trucks) coming and going all night long,” said Mrs. North. “I worry about the people downstream, who need this water for their wells and fields. Who knows what’s in it? Mr. Harris said he feels many people in Chester Gap did not believe it would be possible to clean the area up. “I think they are grateful we initiated this.” He would like the citizens of Chester Gap to help patrol the area and report violations to the Sheriffs Office. i mi i ■ Sean Marsh works the winch on his truck Saturday.

Butler Serving in Adriatic Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Paul F. Butler is serving in the Adriatic Sea near Bosnia aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington. He is one of more than 5,000 Sailors and Marines aboard the aircraft carrier participating in a sixmonth overseas deployment and helping enforce the peace process in Bosnia. Seaman Butler’s ship replaced the aircraft carrier USS America. He, and his shipmates recently hosted a meeting of top-level military and government leaders representing NATO and the various factions involved in the peace keeping process in the former Yugoslavia. NATO commanders selected the aircraft carrier as the location for the talks because they wanted to show the leaders of the warring factions a display of the firepower the U.S. is prepared to use to enforce the Dayton peace agreement. Seaman Butler is a 1990 RCHS graduate and the son of Paul F. and Linda Butler of Boston. He joined the Navy in 1992. Food Drive Saturday .; Linda Butler, postmaster of the Washington Post Office, said the National Letter Carriers Association will be conducting a food drive on Saturday, May 11. After insuring that food collected could go to benefit the local community, she announced that her post office will be participating. ‘ The rural letter carrier will pick up non-perishable foods from postal patrons as he conducts his rounds that day. The food will be weighed and turned over to the county’s Department of Social Services for distribution as needed. She said, that several area churches are also participating and will be centers where food may be left off. The Washington Post Office will also adcdpt food directly. Mrs. Butler expects to turn in all the fopd collected after the carrier completes his rounds Saturday. A check of other post offices in the county indicated that none of them afe participating in the food collection.

Last month Chairman Hubert S. Gilkey said he would put the issue of closing the dumpsters back on the board’s agenda for May. However, the matter was not on the agenda, except in an executive session which produced no results. Hampton District representative Mike Massie, who made the original motion to close the dumpsters by July 1, said he would be delighted if a centralized compactor site is available by July 1, but he did not believe that was possible. He also said he would be trying to cut the county budget so that a two-cent tax increase, rather than the four-cent increase now in the budget, will be sufficient. However, the budget still contains no funds to increase the hours at the landfill, continue to operate the dumpsters or operate a centralized site. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he expects the centralized site to be available at least by the start of school in September. The board needs to either develop a centralized site, contract with the fire departments to have dumpsters and recycling centers located on their property, or make some permanent decision on the current dumpster sites to keep them open but fenced and manned with recycling available at them. The magnificent clean-up effort in Chester Gap Saturday shows many county citizens cafe about the problem of improper disposal of trash. However, there are others who feel free to throw their trash anywhere they can get away with it. To keep the Chester Gap illegal dump site from reappearing or others like it from appearing, convenient locations for proper trash disposal need to be available to citizens. The county should also be willing to take brush, discarded appliances and tires at the selected sites, not every day, but perhaps monthly. Most citizens care about the appearance of the county. However, they can not cope with the trashy habits of other county citizens without some cooperation from county government. School Budget Whether the position is called “Learning Environment Coordinator,” “Director of Administrative Services” or “Supervisor of Facilities” the School Board and school adminstration has failed • to make the case with the Board of Supervisors and much of the public that the school system needs someone full time in charge of maintenance and bus transportation. The primary action of the supervisors at Monday’s session was to cut the budget so as to cut that position out. Most supervisors made it clear they will not take kindly to any School Board action to preserve that position at the expense of other things, and the School Board should not challenge them on that. Hickory Dichory Dock The budget Hirp The Door* arc cltHud, While They faepej eleurs) comet tbeli With the Oeunpetera STUX oa hold! k \ ' * JL I If Don't Be Duped, Read To the Editor: I feel I must respond to Ron Makela’s letter of April 24th in the Rappahannock News. Mr. Makela stated that 1 made “a strong but non-specific objection” to the Goals 2000 legislation when in fact I made several objections to it. Chiefly among them was that we need less federal government involvement in our school system, and that the $4.30 per student Rappahannock County might receive does not pay for the burdens it will place on our county- tyIf we look at the events in chronological order it will help us get a better picture of the actions of the School Board and administration. During the last session of the General Assembly, the Democrats pushed through a budget plan that had language forcing Gov. Allen to seek Goais 2000 funding if two-thirds of the school boards of the state petitioned him to do so. I missed the fact that these requests must be in by the next session of the General Assembly which was the April 17th veto session. When I was reminded of this deadline on April 10th, I suddenly realized that the school board’s regular monthly meeting was on the 9th and that they probably voted for it! I then immediately called Dr. Dave Gangel but was told he was in a meeting. This was approximately 3 p.m. on April 10th, and at approximately 6 p.m. I stopped and talked to Mr. Makela, who confirmed my fears. Then I proceeded to spread the news of their action since the paper did not feel it newsworthy enough to mention. Mr. Makela wants specific objections, but he won’t even read the complete text of the law. It looks like neither the paper nor the School Board want public involvement on this issue as they were completely aware of the deadline, or should have been, and the board held no hearing for public comment. Had Mr. Makela wanted public input for this vote, there are many avenues of receiving it. I do not believe the voters of Jackson District elected Mr. Makela so that he can read condensed versions of complex laws. Indeed, we could have high praise for the technological advances of Nazi Germany # during World War II by only reading a condensed version of history that failed to mention the millions of innocent civilians that were exterminated in the death camps. I hope the readers see the point here — brevity is not always best. The heading over Mr. Makela’s letter ways “Support Explained,” but where was the explanation? Mr. Longyear’s letter certainly conveyed many constitutional reasons why he is opposed to it. It’s obvious from Mr. Makela’s condensed explanation and the School Board’s silence on their actions at the April 29th budget hearing that their position is untenable. Goals 2000 is bad, and the Virginia Education Association supports it since they will receive funding as well as the Association of School Administrators! Whether it is intentional or not, the School Board is allowing the administration to turn our schools more and more toward socialism. One parent sent me a letter stating that many other parents in the county have sent their children to private schools because they feel that the county schools are “hopelessly unable to educate their children.” It appears that our elected School Board feels the same way. Four months into their term they tried to turn the schools over to the federal government. Goals 2000 states that this legislation is “the reauthorization of all Federal education program;” i.e., “Parent classes,” outcome based education, Federal version of sex education including “condom distribution,” “midnight basketball,” “race and gender equal curriculum,” hiring quotes for teachers, and “one stop shopping” for health care, social services, child . care for students and related services” (what ever that means). The latter program has been used in East Shroudsburg, Penn., for school conducted gynecological exams on sixth grade girls which were not authorized by their parents. The harmless physicals that were conducted in school when I attended were limited to eyes, ears, “stick out your tongue,” height, weight, etc., but there are no limitations under Goals 2000. If the readers want more specifics, get your own copy of the entire text and read it yourself. If we read pro and con articles objectively on Goals 2000, we will find there is not one single lofty goal of this law that cannot be implemented locally with parental involvement. In closing, I wish to make it clear Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Bernard L. Jenkins caught these two 18-inch rainbow trout in the Hughes River. that I am willing to work hard with Mr. Makela and the other School Board members, but their positions demand that they complete their homework first. My reason for making this statement is because after speaking with several of the School Board members they admitted their lack of understanding of this complex issue. RONALD L. FRAZIER Jackson District Representative on the Board of Supervisors Hosts Thanked To the Editor: The Board of Directors of the Child Care and Learning Center joins me in thanking our eight host couples who graciously opened their homes to 64 guests Saturday, April 28, for the CCLC Country Suppers fundraising event. Because of the generosity of our hosts and donations from our supporters, we raised over $6,000. Our hosts couples were Lee and Diana Bird, Lisle Carter and Jane Livingston, Ted and Renate Chapman, John and Linda Kiser, Gene and Clarissa Leggett, Rob and Susan Parrish, Stephanie Ridder and John Beardsley, and Bill and Sheila Ryan. Our evening began with an open house/cocktail party organized by Kay Miller at the Child Care aftS"Learning Center, and then progressed on to dinner at host homes throughout the county. Thank you all so much for making this a memorable and profitable evening! ROSE ANN SHARP Washington Thanks, From SADD To the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the businesses, community members, parents, school administrators, teachers. School Board members and members of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office that helped to make the Student’s Against Drunk Driving 1995-96 After-Prom Party a huge success. We are very proud to say that we had approximately 160 students sign in for the after-prom party. That’s about 40 more students than last year. We gave away more than 175 door prizes and over $1,350 in cash prizes. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time either playing games, swimming, or playing basketball and volleyball.1 There were lots of activities and we hope to be able to offer more next year. Again, we would like to thank everyone who was a part of the 199596 After-Prom Party because without your help none of this would have been possible. KELLY SETTLE and SUSAN FOX SAPD Sponsors Workers Thanked To the Editor: Thanks, Hunt and Friends of the Rappahannock! You willingly came to Chester Gap on Saturday and gave of yourselves freely and performed a miracle. Thanks for letting us become a part of your vision for a more beautiful and safe county and world. • I would also like to thank everyone who helped pick up trash and pre pare lunch. MAYBELLE GILKEY Chester Gap Volunteers Support School Sports To the Editor: On April 29th, 1 attended the hearing for the new school year budget. I was pleased to see that the majority of those in attendance were there to support it as it stands. I was against any more cutting of an education budget I consider to be strapped already. I hope that our supervisors can look for a more innovative way to increase revenue for the county than by simply raising real estate taxes across the board. We need to keep our children moving ahead toward the goal of “academic excellence.” I was somewhat concerned with Mr. Anderson’s closing statement, at the end of the meeting, about Stuart Field in Amissville. It is a good and improving facility that certainly does testify to the efforts of volunteerism. But, I think it is unfair to use Stuart Field as an example of what people connected with the high school should try to do for the school’s own athletio 'S . . , , facilities. Indeed, they have beep doing it all along. , „ The Rappahannock Athjetic Association, which runs the Stuart Field complex, receives approximately $1,200.00 from the county. The RCHS Athletic Department receives money to cover bus drivers for away athletic trips and pay some of their coaches a small stipend. The Sport Department has to raise its own money to cover large ticket items such as referee and umpire fees. In addition are the small and mundane items like baseballs and first aid equipment. In this respect, the athletes and parents at the high school are aware that the county government is apparently unable to provide even a symbolic budget for the other needs of the high school sports teams. To set the record straight, almost all of the field maintenance at the high school is and has been done by volunteers. When it was built, the site work for the present softball field was done for free, as a donation. Each spring for the past six years several people have donated the use of their own machinery and time to prepare the softball and baseball fields for the upcoming season. This spring, heavy equipment time was donated along with soil to resurface the baseball field. These individuals receive no renumeration from the county. Several high school coaches have donated their entire coaching stipend to either buy equips ment. Some of the coaches donated their time and receive no stipend. The high school soccer field is laid out, lined, and painted primarily by volunteers from the Rappahannock Soccer League, which is not connected to th£ school system. The new soccer goals, at the high school, were even provided by the RSL. We are fortunate to have an Athletic Booster Club that raises money for our high school athletes. The different things that the group has contributed to high school athletics are too numerous to list here,' but some examples are a new volleyball net system (the old system was outlawed by the state for safety reasons,) years of supplying new uniforms, and even basketballs and baseballs in the past. Again, these were volunteers supplying these funds, not our county government. But these funds come almost exclusively from the many county resU dents who want to see our athletic facilities improved. Volunteerism is wonderful, but it is unfortunate to have to rely only on it for almost everything connected with sports at our high school. TOM WOLEE Sperry vil)e

On Thursday they defeated archrival Brentsville 1-0 at home. They scored their one goal early in the game. Jon Heddleston crossed the ball to Mike Letsen who tucked it away. “The second half was hang on by the seat of your pants and keep them from storing,” Coach Kenny Rogers said. ' On Friday the team traveled to Quantico and got revenge for an earlier loss by winning 1-0. “We were the better team, but we only scored one goal,” Coach Rogers said. Jonathan Moore scored on a comer kick from Eddie Sause. Hoping for a four-game sweep heading into next week’s tournament, the Panthers had their hopes dashed at Central Monday night as they went down 4-1. ' “They were a better team than I expected,” Coach Rogers said. “They were more organized than last time. They had really big guys up front, and we weren’t able to handle them, and offensively we couldn’t move the ball that well.” Jim Clark guarded the Panther goal for the first half, and the half ended with Central up 2-0. So Coach Rogers sent Jim up to the front and put Rob Reeve in the goal for the second half. Central got two more goals, but at least Rappahannock had one goal. Chris Sause picked off a Central throw in from the sidelines and passed it to Jim Clark who got the goal. The Panthers were due to finish the regular season against Clarke County Tuesday, but rain postponed the game. At press time it was scheduled for Wednesday. The tournament will be played at Brentsville next Tuesday and Thursday. Coach Rogers expects to be facing Central again. “We’ll have to make some corrections,” he said. Baseball Team Drops 2 By LAINIE MORGAN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Willie Eastham suffered his fourth loss of the season as the Panthers lost to Clarke County 13-2 Monday. Willie had a 2-0 lead going into the fifth inning when the Panther’s defense collapsed. Five errors, seven l?it,s, and thirteen runs proved too great a margin for the young Panthers. Jon Butler, Jason Brown and Willie Eastham led the hitting which produced the only two Panthers runs. A week earlier the Panthers hosted Manassas Park. The coaches relied on senior Willie Eastham to hurl from the mound. Willie allowed only five sporadic Cougar hits while striking out four. The Cougars scored two unearned runs in the second inning with two outs. Willie retired the first two batters easily and then gave up a weak single to center field. Shortstop Tommy Settle misplayed a ground ball that was hit up the middle. Willie then hit the next batter to load the bases. Catcher Griffin Ward allowed the next pitch to get by him which scored the first Cougar run. Another base hit scored the second and decisive run for Manassas Park. Willie idled the Cougar bats through the next five innings. The Panthers were not a threat until the seventh inning. Willie led off with a single that was hit between the third baseman and shortstop. He stole second base on the first pitch to Chris Sealock. Chris then doubled down the right field line driving in Eastham. John Digges was intentionally walked. With a two-balls-no-strike count on Griffin Ward, Chris who was taking an aggressive lead off second base, was picked off. Griffin then grounded out to end the ball game. Softball Team Looks for Win The high school softball team is Still looking for its third win after dropping two more games in the last week. • Last Thursday the team lost to Clarke County 24-3. The Panther squad had nine hits but made “a lot of errors,” according to Coach Carl Payne. Cari Kerr went 3 for 4. Courtney Mauro had two hits including a triple. Emily Taylor also had two hits, and Katy Paratore and Kiersten Kerr had one- hit apiece. Tiffany Keys started on the mound. In the top of the fourth inning Kylene Wolfe came in to relieve her and pitched the last three and two-thirds innings. On Monday the Panthers went down 18-4 to Manassas Park. This time the RCHS team had seven hits and 11 errors. Cari Kerr again had three hits. Kylene Wolfe and Courtney Welch each had triples. Kiersten Kerr and Katy Paratore had singles. Kylene Wolfe pitched the whole game. “It was the best game she has pitched,” Coach Payne said. Track Team Prepares for District Meet As they head toward the Bull Run District track meet at Manassas Park this Thursday, Rappahannock’s traclc team is again concentrating on individual performances. There are simply not enough participants in the track and field program for RCHS to be competitive as a team. However, several members of the RCHS teams have a chance to advance to regional and even state competition in their events. In a meet at Page County High School with Clarke County last Wednesday, boys’ team runner Mark Jenkins had two firsts — the 3200 meter and the 1600 meter. Willie Shanks was first in the 100 meters, second in the long jump, third in the triple jump, fourth in the high jump and fourth at 200 meters. Jason Carter was second in the 200 meter race and third at 100 meters. He also placed fourth in the shot put. Jennings Hobson was third at 800 meters. The 4x100 relay team placed second. For the girls Dawn Havstad was first in the discus and second in the shot put. Caroline Baumgardner was third at 800 meters and Myrian Lathouille was fourth. Emily Sims was fourth at 3200 meters, and Robin Kaye was fourth in the long jump. The 4x100 relay team was second. The girls team narrowly beat out Page county and scored 19 points to Page’s 15. Clarke won the girls’ meet with 125 points. Dawn Havstad was second in the shot put. Coed Soccer Taking Hold in U-12 Team By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rapp*hiaaock Nam Contributing Writer Lorinda Bosch’s U-12 boys finally accepted the girls who got assigned to their soccer team when their girls’ team dissolved early in the season, and the Bosch team returned to its early winning ways, with a 5-1 victory over a Fauquier team last Saturday. “We went through a rough transition period, but we finally got it all together,” said Ms. Bosch. “We all worked together this time. It was thrilling. The boys even passed the ball to the girls, which was a real, major improvement.” The Bosch team now has two wins, one loss and one tie. Jim Lofton’s U-8 team also has a positive record of three wins, one loss and one tie. The last two Lofton games were against tough Madison teams. Rappahannock prevailed in the recent game, winning 3-1, and tied the previous one. Rob Parrish’s U-8 team lost to the same Madison teams. “Madison clearly has a good soccer program at this level,” said Mr. Lofton. “Almost all of their players are strong.” Denise Hawkins’s U-10 team lost to a Madison U-10 team, 3-1. Howard Coon’s U-12 team also lost 4-1 to a Fauquier team. Rappahannock’s soccer commissioner Richard Price says he is hoping that current and aspiring soccer players will take advantage of soccer camps in the area this summer. So far he knows of three: • The Rappahannock Soccer League invited a leading soccer school, John Ellis’s Soccer Academy in Fairfax, to present a day camp at the elementary school July 8-12. The cost is $125 for the full day, or $100 for a shorter day. For more informa SUBSCRIBE TO THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS. Cdl 67S3338. an at) day met 18 holes.

(An earlier Coever camp in Warrenton, June 2428, is already full, with many of Rappahannock’s travel players enrolled.) Coever focuses on developing a player’s footwork. The cost is $209. Richard Price at 987-9428 has brochures. • Finally, Highland School itself is offering a half-day camp on three separate weeks, July 8-12, July 22-26, and August 5-9. The cost is $75.

Park To Collect Fee For Hiking Old Rag Starting Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, the Shenandoah National Park will begin collecting fees from those who hike Old Rag Mountain. The $3 fee for those 16 and older is supposed to help cover the costs of administering a permit system, parking, toilets, trail patrols, emergency response and trail maintenance. Permits will be limited to the capacity of the rented parking lot approximately .8 mile from the trail head. That parking lot has space for about 200 cars. The park tried the permit system last fall in response to complaints from neighbors in Madison County along Route 600 that people were illegally parking along the road and leaving litter. The parking area at the trail head can hold only a few cars. There was no charge for the permit during the trial period, and the rented parking lot never filled up. So hikers were not turned away. After instituting the permit system on a trial basis the park invited public cotnment. According to park spokesmen the reaction was generally favorable. Since then private land that had been used for camping has been posted no trespassing, so those accustomed to using that land for camping will have to make other arrangements, a park spokesman said. Permits for back country camping are issued at the park entrances and can be issued at the Old Rag trailhead, but camping space is limited on the mountain. On weekends hiking permits will be sold by rangers stationed at the parking lot. During the week hikers are expected to register themselves at the trailhead and deposit the S3 fee in a locked box. The funds collected from the fee, like those collected at the entrances to the Skyline Drive, go directly into the U.S. Treasury. Funds are separately appropriated for the national parks.

He said, “If we don’t take care ! of it, it will bite us. It already did in the ) roof situation. Ignorance is no excuse.” | The position started out as part1 time and temporary to free up the ■ time of then assistant superintendent ■ Robert Chappell to serve as “clerk of! the works” during construction of the addition to the elementary school.! Following an incident when elemen-, tary school students were overcome \ with fumes from work on the roof, the ; part-time administrative position) became a full-time “learning environ- • ment coordinator” with responsibility' for drafting policies to deal with a variety of safety and environmental concerns. Richard Smith, the current elementary school assistant principal;' served in that position for two years, ^ During the current school yew* former elementary school Principal David Smith was named to the position which was retitled Director of Administrative Services. Besides developing and following environmental laws the position involved oversea, ing improvements to the elementary, school sewage lagoon, the bus transportation system, maintenance projects and the school custodians. Mr. Estes said, “Our per-student costs are more than surrounding coup*-, ties. I realize there is an economy of,, scale, and I do think you are doing a. great job, but sometimes you have to do more than one job.” He said Richard Smith could help out with.thp duties of the position as well as his position as assistant principal. IJe, noted in the past the assistant superintendent has been responsible for bus transportation. Dr. Gangel replied, “You are 100 percent correct. It can be done, "but something else will be dropped.” - Mr. Estes said he expected a central compactor site to be open by the start of school next year and said the schools could carry trash to that site in a pickup truck daily rather than contracting to have dumpsters at the schools. Mr. Frazier wanted to make deep-' er cuts in the school budget but did not say specifically what they should be. He said he could not support a school budget that would result in increased taxes. “I’ve got people who are losing their jobs,” he said. “There is bitter opposition to the amount of the raises^ when people are losing their jobs.” Mr. Estes suggested Dr. Gangel come to the supervisors with a request’ for funds to improve the bathrooms at* the high school if he can cover the cost by not spending all of this year’s budget. He suggested the supervisors would also consider improvements to the track with surplus funds. Before taking up the school budget the supervisors allowed people in the audience to speak. Harold Thrower said, “I feel we are not getting the performance we are paying for.” He suggested the supervisors look carefully at the budget before approving it. His wife Monica said she had. worked as a substitute teacher in the , high school and “the discipline problems were so terrible. The children were not getting the benefit of the teaching.” Forrest Whorton said the supervisors should look harder at the budget “and see if there is any way possible' , to do this without raising our taxes.”"’ Kathryn Treanor said, “It is^very important to look to the future and not look to blame the past.” Rick Kohler said, “It is up to you to lead the county towards improving the'' schools....You should take the leadin' moving forward and not letting us -fall’ backward.” '•'r' During the discussion of the bud- 1 get Mr. Massie said during the pubttfc" hearing “some folks would like to see it higher, and some would like to see it'* lower, but most think it is about right.” '■

Farm Fun Day Successful ■ * There was a lot of barking, mewing, crowing, quacking and bleating coming from the park on U.S. 211 last Saturday, and the sound of happy children’s voices. The reason for all the racket? It was the 4-H Cloverbud’s first ever Farm Fun Day. Twenty county children exhibited their pets and small farm animals during the afternoon. Each child got to talk with 4-H judge Janet Grimsley about their animal and each received a green 4-H prize ribbon and a gift. There were •..also games to play, such as the cow pie toss or water balloon , throw, with prizes to win. And lots of baked goods to buy and eat. . f Ms. Grimsley gave an informative obedience demonstration - with her trained Irish Setter ° “Casey”, that really taught the " children a lot about how to train their dogs. Categories and ribbons received were: Cats — Ben Rupchis; Dogs — Justin Burger, Dylan Corbin, James Jackson, Tiana Lucking and Kerri Moore; Chickens and Ducks — Eston Davis, James Henze, James Jackson, Ben Pendleton and Tommy Pendleton; Goats — Ben Rupchis and Jacob Stilley; Rabbits — Devin Day; Other Pets — Dylan Corbin, Brittni Lee, Jessica Lee, Kaitlin Moore and Kevin Riedel. The event was organized by the Cloverbud Small Animal Club, whose final meeting for the year will be at 2 p.m. on June 1 at the county extension office. The topic will be bee keeping.

Special effort is made to see any child presented to the Clinic for available services. In addition to the medical services offefed, a new Dental Clinic has been added. The clinic also serves as a health care referral source for the residents of the community in need. Staffed by volunteer doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and community members, the clinic is funded by donations from citizenry, churches arid organizations. Many of our Rappahannock neighbors work regularly to serve the clinic. Present Rappahannock volunteers include Dr. Jerry Martin, physician; Karen Flynn R.N., who serves as a nurse and is a member of the Board of Directors; Linda Deardoff, first grade teacher at Central Elementary; Kathleen Gallivan, who works at the Clinic as a pharmacy assistant and Spanish translator; and Brenda Hitt, member of the Board of Directors who works for Social Services in Warrenton. Susan Achenbach, R.N., 'I « volunteered as a nurse when the Clinic opened in July, 1993, and served for over two years. Since the Clinic’s inception, there have been only two Executive Directors, both of whom are Rappahannock residents. Linda Coit served as the first executive director, and presently, Sharon Wyrrick, well known artist, holds the demanding job. In keeping with the spirit of the Free Clinic, an evening of song, dance and fun called “Shine” will be held on Saturday, June 8 at the Warrenton Middle School. This third annual homegrown talent show will feature local entertainers in performance, and all monies raised will benefit the clinic. Ticket prices are $8 advance, $10 at the door, $3 for students. Kids under 12 come free! Volunteers and donations are always welcome. The Fauquier Free Medical Clinic is open every Thursday; the new Dental Clinic is open on the first, third and fifth Thursdays. Registration for both is on a walk-in basis only from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Many services are available to , Rappahannock residents that cannot be obtained through our county ' Health Department. For more information and/or to determine eligibility, call (540) 347-0394. Park 'Friends' Win Grant National Park Service (NPS) Director Roger Kennedy lauded the National Parks and Conservation Association (NPCA) and GeorgiaPacific Corporation for awarding $184,500 in cash and construction supplies to four national park “friends” groups. The money will be used for infrastructure improvement projects at Ocmulgee National Monument, Georgia; Shenandoah National Park, Virginia; Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee; and Virgin Islands National Park, Virgin Islands. The Friends of the Shanandoah National Park recieved $50,000 of the money, the largest of the four grants. “The National Parks are landscapes and shrines, places of wonder arid reverence, places of recreation and enjoyment,” said Mr. Kennedy. “But, many of the structures, trails, and visitor facilities were built a generation or rr\9^e ago, and are worn out. Beneath tl^e. paint and caulking and repairs, the National Park System is ridden with rot. It is through partnerships, such as thus with NPCA and Georgia Pacific, that (he National Park Service will be able to revitalize itself.” : , Tbe awards, announced at a ceremony on April 23 in Washington, D.C„ are the result of a pilot project in which “friends” groups submitted project proposals. “Shenandoah National Park has an alarming backlog of over $12 million in facility maintenance; additionally funds have not been available to document and transcribe history from first-hand observers of life on the Blue Ridge before Shenandoah National Park was created,” said Vaughn Baker, Assistant Superintendent at Shenandoah. According to the grant application, the Shenandoah National Park was created in 1935 to preserve not just a natural setting, but also a unique culture and history extending back to the German and Scots-Irish settlements of the 18th century. To help record and document these vanishing cultural resources, Friends of the Shenandoah National Park will begin a systematic prpgram for obtaining oral histories. The materials provided will assist the park in repairing and improving some of the park structures used for visitor interpretation, rebuilding display boards located throughout the park, restoring portions of historic structures like the National Historic Landmark, Camp Hoover, and repairing damage to historic structures caused by the blizzard of January 19%. TV-Turnoff Week Fuels Student Debate By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappafcanmk Newt Contribvthif Writer If nothing else, TV-Tumoff Week at the end of April seemed to spark a lot of talk. There were teachers who argued that TV-Tumoff Week was ill-conceived, because television can do as much good as harm. Instead of asking people to stop watching, we should be suggesting that people be more selective in what they watch, said one teacher. Conversely, there were teachers who encouraged their students to write essays and to draw posters for the TV-Tumoff contests and who otherwise fully supported the notion of unplugging the tube for the week. Some of the best insights during the week came from the entries to the TV-Tumoff creative writing contest. In his submission, RCES student Andy Foster wrote: “I think TV is not all bad or all good. “The reason I say this is there are some educational programs. Most of them are on the Discovery Channel. Some educational programs are National Geographic, New, and Mysteries of the Universe. “There are also ones that distract you from your homework and chords. Most of them are on Fox and M-TV. Some distinctive programs are Beavis and Butthead, the Simpsons, and Ren and Stimpy. “If you are smart, you will use your TV for the educational programs,” Andy concluded. Dawn Andreoni, a 10-year-old, won first place at the elementary level for a poem, which read in part: You think you can’t live without TV, think again! Your grandfather didn 't watch it and he's a happy man. You think without TV you ’ll go crazy, Your grandma didn’t watch it and she s a happy daisy. You think without TV, you 'll go mad, Your dad didn’t watch much and he’s not mad, believe me, he’s your r dad You think without TV your life will fall apart, Your mom didn 7 watch much and, believe me, she is smart. Other written comments from students: “In my family, we hardly ever *. take advantage of the television sitting in our living room. Our time is more likely spent playing sports rather than watching sports or reading books rather than indulging in soap operas or hiking in our own hills rather than watching Dr. Quinn hike in her hills... Little children especially need to be out of the house and participating in activities rather than sitting in front of the television.” — Anna Metcalfe, junior. “I love birds of prey. I saw a program of a man in Kazackstan who had a 10-year relationship with a golden eagle. It was exciting and without TV I never would have been able to see someone from around the world who loves birds of prey as much as I do.” — Jeremy Slack, 13-year-old homeschooler. “During TV Turnoff Week I had a ball—I got out of the house more than any other weekend probably in my life....I hiked up in the hills on these worn-down tracks. After hiking and wearing myself down, I did a little fishing.” — Jon Butler, senior. “It’s fine for people to watch TV. When it gets to the point when people just have it on without a reason, though, it s time to turn it off.” — Sarah Langelle, age 11 “There are good things and bad things on TV. The bad things are the violence and filth. Unfortunately, bad things are about 80 percent of TV in my opinion.” — Wendy Gillis, age12. “I believe television gets a bad rap these days....So during TV Turnoff Week I m going to watch more TV than ever.” — Michael Gilkey, senior. “I think it is horrible. It stinks. I hate TV. I’d rather play that watch TV. TV is junk....I wish TV was not J Sarah Hetzer shared first prize for this poster. invented...” — Zoey Hogan, age 7. “Watching TV is cool. TV is the best. I really like TV. TV is great. 1 watch TV a lot.” — Kelli Marie Hagerty, age 6. In the TV Turnoff contest, second place and third place in creative writing at the elementary level went to Natalie William and Sarah Langelle, with Wendy Gillis and Michael Sisk getting honorable mentions. At the high school level, Anna Metcalfe took first place for writing, with homeschooler Jeremy Slack taking second and Jon Butler placing third. Honorable mentions went to Tara Thomas and Melissa Schwartz. The only submissions for the poster contest came from the elementary school: Sarah Hetzer and Rocky Pullen tied for first place and Samantha Falls got second place.

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds High School Pilot Works at Airport To Fly Instrument Rating, Instructors License Next By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Flying in a Cessna 152 over Rappahannock County on a beautiful spring day is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Flying in that Cessna over Rappahannock County with 17 yearold Keenan Roberts can be one of life’s biggest thrills. Keenan, a senior at Rappahannock County High School, got his private pilot’s license last August and has been taking several of his friends, including Jason Weakley, Tim Zirn, Jim Clark and Sarah Gentry, flying out of the Warrenton Fauquier airport in Midland. Seventeen is the minimum age to qualify for the private pilot’s license and 16 is the youngest at which anyone is allowed to solo. We went up last Thursday afternoon — a day made for flying — sunny with high cumulus clouds and ' > barely any wind to speak of. It took an hour to drive to Midland from Washington, but just 24 minutes after take-off, we were flying over the high school, where we had an eagle’s eye view of soccer, baseball and softball games all in progress simultaneously. Our altitude of 1,100 feet afforded us a fabulous close-up view, though not quite close enough to see people waving at us (which I heard about the next day). Though Keenan is a very young pilot, he is very cautious and was meticulous in going through the long list Qf pre-flight checks before executing a perfect takeoff. He seemed confident about his flying, and negotiated steep banks, especially when we got over the high school. Banking the plane means sloping the plane laterally on a turn so that the inside wing is low and the outside wing is high, which made it easy for me to photo graph and see what was directly below us. Keenan said he has always been interested in flying. When asked why he likes flying, he said, “1 like to do it. I love the thrill of it.” He has been influenced by his dad who is a pilot and a flight instructor. Now that he has his private pilot’s license, he plans on qualifying for his instrument rating this summer. He said that will involve a lot of self study. Once he has his instrument rating, he will be qualified to fly in many types of weather conditions which are out of bounds with his present license. Right now he cannot fly through a cloud; he must keep a certain distance from clouds. Keenan works hard to pay for his lessons, which cost $42 an hour for the plqne rental (fuel is included) plus from $ 13 an hour for ground instruction and $ 17 an hour for primary flight instruction. The fee for the instrument 1 rating instruction runs $20 an hour. He works from 8 a.m. to sunset at the Warrenton Fauquier Airport every Saturday and Sunday, and his main responsibility is keeping the planes fueled. The airport is five miles from the Flying Circus in Bealeton so many of those planes can often be seen from the airport. When he first started learning to fly, Keenan took lessons in Burlington, North Carolina, and worked there at an Applebee’s to make money for lessons. His longest flight has been from Burlington, North Carolina to Florence, South Carolina. During that flight he was required to do three takeoffs and landings in controlled air space, he said. He has also flown to Williamsburg. This summer he plans to rebuild a 1946 Piper J3 Cub, a two-seater plane like the Cessna 152, that his father said he can have as his own once it is r Photo courtesy of Keenan Roberts Jason Weakley kissed the ground after flying with Keenan. fixed up. The engine is fine, he said, but much of the body needs repairs. After earning his instrument rating, Keenan plans to keep on going and earn his instructor’s rating.

High School's May Fest Friday Preparations for the Rappahannock High School First Annual May Fest are in full and enthusiastic swing. Teachers and students are assembling projects and displays from their work throughout the year, or creating presentations to make this Friday’s event a festive and fun-filled day. The day will kick off with an assembly featuring presentations by French students, 8th grade English students, and students in the Show Choir. Sharon Wyrrick, who is Artist-inResidence at RCHS this year, has worked with Cindy Wayland’s French 2 class since January adapting a French-Afritan tale “La Cruche” (The Jug) into a playlet form. The process has involved an extended collaboration with Harriette Rosenblatt’s art classes. The art classes have created delightful visuals that include mural backdrops and paper mache figures for the characters. Ms. Wyrrick said, “most of the cast has never even acted on stage before, nor had the art students created stage scenery and visuals before, so this challenge is enormous. I applaud all the students who have worked so diligently in creating the stage presentation.” Laurel Van Horn’s 8th grade stu dents participated in an extended unit on traditional tales in English class. She had them create playlets using shadow puppetry. The assembly will include a presentation of “Tappin the Land Turtle,” an African-American folktale. An uplifting medley of songs by the Show Choir, under the direction of Melinda Russell, will conclude the assembly. During lunch on Friday, the students will have an opportunity to browse the exhibits, fly kites or see artists at work. Each student has signed up for two workshops or demonstrations to participate in during the afternoon. Twenty different workshops are being offered. These include such diverse topics as “How to Tie Artificial Flies” led by Roger Flincham and “Papermaking” led by Nina Moore. The general public is invited to come view exhibits between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. They are also invited to see the assembly, but should plan to be seated in the high school auditorium promptly at 11 a.m. or at noon (2 performances).

Things like “Thank you." ' I love you,” and “Here, mom, let me help you." For those of us who are blessed with a close MotherChild relationship, this day will give us a chance to say, in a very special way, the things we should have said by our words and actions all year ^ long. ggjjB' Those who are not blessed with this close relationship, should try to accomplish, in this one brief day, all the things they didn’t do in the other 364. Sometimes we try so hard that we may seem insincere. But on this Mother’s Day, make a conscious effort to repair all the neglect and broken relationships that may exist. Certainly, you may not be able to erase all bitterness and alienation in one day, but you can make a start. And once you start, continue to mend the fences on a daily basis. Then next year, when it's Mother's Day again, you can both celebrate the joy of having each other. You can both honestly say, “I love you."

Hartland Health Hint: To help with elimination problems, drink a pint of luke-warm water upon rising; add some lemon juice to help taste and also add valuable bioflavonoids which increase; the absorption of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids are found in the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits; also found in peppers. Do not drink with meals; drink nothing within half hour before eating and wait one and one half hours eating to drink water. Reason: Drink dilutes digestive juices. It takes four and one half hours for food to digest and organs need a rest; so try not to eat between meals and space about 5 to 6 hours apart. Try to drink 6 to 8 ounces water a day. Eat breakfast like a king; lunch like a queen, and dinner like a pauper. Most of us do the opposite. As always, get your doctor’s advise.

May - National Egg Month - Perfect for Mother's Day1 The entire month of May has been proclaimed “National Egg Month.” This festive event is a celebration of the many virtues of the egg. Eggs are an essential ingredient in many recipes, and especially in desserts. They are responsible for leavening, flavor, color, structure, crystallization and a list of other important functions. May is the perfect month to enjoy a wonderful., egg-rich dessert— around Mother’s Day, perhaps, or maybe there’s another special day in May you’d like to celebrate. Included are several of the Egg Council’s favorite dessert recipes, along with some tips that should make Egg Month baking an eggsta-special success. There’s nothing more tempting that the aroma of a homemade dessert baking in the oven. Scents of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry waffling through the air can make event hose with great will-power give in to temptation. Mile high meringues, lofty angel food cakes or creajny custards are just a few of the many tantalizing treats that are sure to cause a commo tion in any household. Desserts come in all shapes and sizes and can range from difficult to prepare to “easy as pie.” Desserts can add a crowning touch to an elegant meal or they can be a comforting reminder of a simpler time and place. The word dessert is derived from the French word “desservir” which means ‘to clear the table.’ Traditionally, desserts are served as a grand finale to a meal. However, they are so popular that desserts can be found almost anytime of day. Most desserts are made from a few simple, yet essential ingredients such as eggs, flour, sugar and butter. These ingredients are the basis for many cakes, cookies, cream puffs, and custards. The function of each ingredient is essential to the outcome of the recipe. For example, eggs are added to different desserts to perform a variety of functions. In an angel food cake, egg whites are beaten to form the leavening; in a custard eggs help thicken the custard as well as give it flavor and color. Eggs are also responsible for forming the structure of a cream puff and retarding crystallization in candy. Eggs play a necessary role in many dessert dishes. The whole month of May is dedicated to celebrating the many virtues of the egg. May has been proclaimed “National Egg Month.” To join the celebration of this festive occasion, why not bake a cake, prepare a bread pudding or serve a sabayon? No one can resist a scrumptious egg-rich dessert. A Peach of a Dessert These ginger-kissed cream puffs form the perfect base for peach ice cream.

Rose of Sharon Shrub a Favorite By DR DIANE RELF Eitmioa Consumer Horticulturist Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus, is actually a species of mallow (hibiscus is Greek for Mallow). Other well-known mallows include Scarlet Rose Mallow (Hibiscu Coccineus) and Mallow Rose (H. moscheatos), said Diane Relf, Virginia Cooperative Extension consumer horticulturist at Virginia Tech. It Has Been Popular for a Long Time Rose of Sharon is a deciduous shrub that has long been a favorite. Found in older gardens and around historic homes, it is often considered old fashioned. A native of east Asia, it became very popular in the United States because of its large blooms and relatively trouble-free culture. It is often found naturalized in semiwooded areas close to original plantings. Grows 8 to 10 Feet Tall With 4-inch Flowers It is a heat-loving plant that grows 8 to 10 feet tall. Glossy, green foliage is the backdrop for 4-inch-wide flowers in white, red, purple, or violet. It is reasonably tolerant of most sites, as long as they are not extremely dry or wet. For the best performance, plant Rose of Sharon is moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Blooms are produced on new wood, so heavy pruning in early spring before growth starts will increase flowering in the summer. Colors from White to Blue Available There are a multitude of Rose of Sharon cultivars, with flowers colors ranging from white, pink, and red to lavender and blue. “Diana” is a compact Rose of SharOn cultivar with dark-green foliage and large, purewhite blooms that remain open at night. Rose of Sharon blooms throughout most of the summer. Use it as a hedge or to screen a porch since it flowers through most of the warm season. Oncology Department Helping Cancer Patients After six months’ operation, the Oncology Department at Culpeper Memorial Hospital has helped 420 patients. Over 85 patients are being seen monthly. “We are very pleased that this program has been able to reach so many patients and make their lives a little easier,” said Jonita Kilby, RN, BSN. “We have found the community response to be quite positive. Often our oncology patients comment on how thankful they are for this department. Transportation and travel times have been major considerations for these patients in the past. With vision, planning, commitment and a cooperative spirit we have turned a dream into reality.” Oncologists from the University of Virginia and from Martha Jefferson Hospital see patients in the department. Chemotherapy, IV antibiotics, and blood transfusions are administered. In addition to cancer, the department provides treatment for various blood disorders and performs procedures for patient com fort. “We have found that a large part of our day is spent coordinating ' patient care as well,” explained Kilby. “We work closely with many organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Family Care Home Health and Hospice, Hospice of the Rapidan, and other hospitals to facilitate our patients’ care.” Providing information about cancer and educations materials is another focus of the department. “Our hospital employees find our presence comforting when loved ones are diagnosed with cancer. We are able to provide them with educational materials to help answer many of their questions,” added Kilby. Under the direction of Vicki Krohn, RN, the department is staffed by Kilby and Dee Dee Stergis, RN, OCN. The department is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For emergencies, ther6 is a nurse on call on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information call 829-4352. Baptist Church To Open The Flint Hill Baptist Church which has been closed for 28 years will reopen at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 19. Guest speaker for the service will be the Rev.
