J Planners Designate 'Scenic County' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rippahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County will be designated a “scenic county” in the proposed revised Comprehensive Plan. The suggestion put forth by StonewallHawthorn District representative Sharon Pierce and Hampton District representative Susan Babcock will lead the “Goals, Principles and Policies” chapter. Their suggestion reads “Central to Rappahannock County’s definition of itself are the mountains, among the oldest on earth, and its intact ecosystem. Rappahannock’s agricultural, forestry and tourism industries are critically dependent upon the careful nur turing of these natural resources. To acknowledge this unique status, we the people of Rappahannock declare it to be a ‘scenic county’ and all goals, principles and policies will devolve from this fundamental recognition. “A scenic county shall mean: “One in which preservation and enhancement of the natural and historic beauty and cultural value of the countryside shall be respected as being of foremost importance; and “One in which conditions for a sustainable agricultural and tourism economy not be dependent upon traditionally defined growth patterns.” Last Wednesday the planners took up the final three chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. Chapter 6 lists the goals, principles and policies. Chapter 7 is the “Future Land Use Plan,” and Chapter 8 is “Implementation.” Mr. Massie said he wanted another goal added having to do with local jobs. The planners agreed to look again at Chapter '5 and have graphics added "before' submitting the plan for a public hearing. The planners recommended rezoning a property in Flint Hill from village residential to village commercial.

Democrats Choose Weinberg for 10th Republicans/Tactical Error' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer WARRENTON — The 10th District Democratic Convention chose Robert L. Weinberg of Rappahannock County to oppose incumbent Congressman Frank Wolf in the November contest for the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Weinberg faced no opposition at the Saturday afternoon convention at the Warrenton Middle School. He previously ran against Rep. Wolf in 1988 when the 10th District was made up of Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun and part of Fairfax.County. Rep. Wolf won that contest, and' Mr. Weinberg said Rep. Wolf beat him by “half a million dollars.” Mr. Weinberg acknowledges that he will be outspent again in 1996 but said, with the larger district, money for television will be less important. The 10th District Republican convention was also held Saturday at Handley High School in Winchester. At that convention Jim Rich of Fauquier County was reelected as chairman of the district, and he and two others were elected as delegates to the Republican National Convention in San Diego. Three alternates were also elected including Rappahannock County Republican Chairman Walter Longyear. Mr. Rich said, “We are...ready to go into full battle operation to re-elect our great Congressman Frank Wolf. The Democrats made a tactical error in running a sacrificial lamb against Frank because we will fully gear up the solidly Republican 10th District for Congressman Wolf. This will mean an even greater loss in our district for (Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate) Mark Warner and his running mates fiUWwnd Hiltary Clinton.” Mr. Weinberg and his wife Wendy bought property in the county in the Slate Mills area in 1968. They built a house on the property in 1970 and used it as a second home while living in Arlington and practicing law in the Washington, D.C. area. Mr. Weinberg turns 65 later this month and has decided to retire from his law practice and make his second home his first. Besides nominating Mr. Weinberg the delegates heard from U.S. Senate candidate Mark Warner and state Democratic Party Chairman Sue Wrenn and elected delegates to the National Democratic Convention to be held in Chicago. . See District, Page A-8 Candidate Knows District Democratic Party Congressional nominee Robert Weinberg is no stranger to pol8 itics in Virginia’s 10th District, but the 10th District he is most familiar with was the old 10th District, made up of the closein suburbs of Washington, D.C., before the 1990 Census and subsequent redistricting created an 11th District and added the northern Shenandoah Valley to the 10th. That old’ 10th District was represented . for many years by Republican Joel Broyhill, who bedeviled the District of Columbia from his perch on the House District Committee and took good care of his constituents, many of vyhpm were goy^-,. • emment workers. It was a district which frequently voted Democratic in. Presidential elections but Republican in races for the House of Representatives.

Yvette Maria Burke, 31, of Boston, was indicted for two felonies, grand larceny and possession of a firearm after having been convicted a felon. According to the court file, Merita Neighbors charged that Ms. Burke had pawned a Nikon 6006 camera, lens and case which she had left at Ms. Burke’s house for safekeeping. Randall Linden Ramey, 25, of Sperryville, was in court last Wednesday on a violation of probation charge. He was convicted in August 1994 of distribution of a Schedule II drug to a minor, possession of PCP and possession of a weapon. At that time he was sentenced to 13 years, eight years suspended, and was released to the Culpeper probation office in August, 1995. Diane Moore, his probation officer, testified that Mr. Ramey had two urine samples in February which tested positive for marijuana and another positive screen in April. She said she felt this was a very serious violation, that probation is a privilege. Mr. Ramey’s attorney, Douglas Baumgardner, argued that Mr. Ramey’s two screens in February were one week apart and they may have tested positive from just one use. He told Judge Selwyn Smith that two of Mr. Ramey’s problems have been poor judgment and bad peers. Mr. Ramey admitted that he had a substance abuse problem and pleaded with the court to allow him to attend Boxwood. He told Judge Smith that he needs to make a turn in life and that he had learned that jail is not the place he wants to be. Also, he said, his parents do not deserve what he had put them through. Mr. Ramey’s girlfriend, Lisa Rogers, testified to Mr. Ramey’s dedication to change his life around and said she had been a good influence on him. Judge Smith found Mr. Ramey in violation of probation, but is allowing him to continue on probation and told him to attend Boxwood at his own expense. Mr. Ramey must return to the court in September for review. Jeffrey Wilson Nichols, 31, of Front Royal, was ordered to pay a $ 100 fine for illegal dumping. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that there has been a tremendous problem in the county with people from other counties dumping trasfi in Rappahannock dumpsters. The county now fines people who illegally dump $200, and if someone is charged and does not show up in court, that fine goes up to $250, he said. The fine used to be just $25 but that was not enough to deter people, Mr. Luke said. Judge Smith agreed that $25 is not enough of a deterrent. He fined Mr. Nichols $200, but reduced it to $100 because Mr. Nichols said he had been told that his fine would only be $25. An appeal of a breach of peace charge against William H. James Jr., 32, of Flint Hill was dismissed by Judge Smith. The charge was brought against Mr. James last September by Edward Wince, a neighbor of Mr. James’s whose family shares a right of way with him in Flint Hill. Mr. Luke told the judge that there have been problems before between the Winces and Mr. James. Mr. James’s lawyer, Jud Fischel, stated that the situation between the two had been continuous and ongoing, and that he did not know if even the law could solve their problems. After hearing evidence from Mr. Wince and his mother, Virgie Wince, claiming that Mr. James had verbally abused them. Judge Smith said that there is obviously bad blood between the parties, and dismissed the case. It is time for people to .stop getting the services of the Commonwealth’s Attorney for nothing, he said sternly. a Following the dismissal, Mr. James filed a summons in General District Court claiming that he was cursed and abused at his residence on May 12 by Mr. Wince. In court on Thursday, Carl James Snyder, 32, of Sperrvville, waived counsel and represented himself on a charge of violating probation. Mr. Snyder was convicted by a jury last November for discharging a firearm into an occupied building and brandishing a firearm. Mr. Snyder’s parole officer, Mr. Quinn, said that Mr. Snyder did not want to attend substance See Court, Page A-8 Photo Courtesy of Paul Brown Commander David M.

[Show Business Couple Adds to County ' By JEANIE MCNEAR ’ R*pp«fciimock New* Contrlbutlnf Writer - In August of 1996 Virginia and ; Bob Scott will celebrate their 58th | wadding anniversary. * Mrs. Scott was not exactly the i “girl next door.” Virginia Vass was ; bom in Greenville, S. C. Mr. Scott j was bom in San Diego, Calif. It took < the magnetic attraction of show busi. ness to get them together, when they met and fell in love, in New York : City. } Mrs. Scott was one of 10 children I and grew up loving music and leam' ing to harmonize with her brothers ; and sisters. When her family later « moved to the Big Apple, five of the • Vasses sang on radio as NBC artists i with their own family program, “The ! Vass Family.” They performed regu' larly on the network, singing and actl ing with many top celebrities from • Radio City, Chicago and Hollywood ■ for over twelve years. > After her brother entered the ■ Army during World War II and the sister got married, the family group broke up and Mrs. Scott sang alone with her autoharp. She gave hundreds of concerts for Woman’s Clubs and schools in Washington and Los Angelos. Fortunately for Mr. Scott, he had ^ started acting in high school and col, lege and then came to New York City ; to study acting in a dramatic school where his aunt, an experienced Broadway actress, was a director. He knew he was going to marry Virginia Vass the day he met her. It took her a couple of years to be sure. She was still working with her family when she and Mr. Scott were married in Yuma, Ariz. Why Yuma? That’s “Show Biz.’r Aside from minor separations caused by professional theatrical tours and World War II, the Scott have always been an active and happy team. They produced one child, a talented professional artist named Peter. After Mr. Scott retired from a career in industry and government the Scotts moved to beautiful Rappahannock County in 1989 where they have kept busy in a variety of community activities. Both are enrolled as Retired Senior Volunteers. Mrs. Scott is currently volunteering at Family Care Hospice in Culpeper. She telephones people who have lost loved ones and attends meetings and training sessions. She also volunteers at Rappahannock County Elementary School each week where she sings and teaches her favorite southern folk songs to the first grade children. She often goes in for their “snack time” bringing extra snacks, and she is a “foster grandmother” for one special youngster, in particular.

Frost Damages Local Wine Grape Crop By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The frost which hit the county last week will cut down the production at several county vineyards this year. Gray Ghost vineyard in. Amissville owned by Cheryl and A1 Kellert seems to have been hit the hardest. Mrs. Kellert said that she estimates 50 percent of their Chardonnay shoots have been lost, though the rest of their nine acre crop, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Vidal and - Seyval seem to be undamaged. “It is the last frost I have seen around here,” she said. The tempera„ ture at their vineyard dropped to 30 degrees. The morning after the frost she had gone out to the vineyard to check it, and said that even by midday the shoots looked okay, but by the i afternoon the shoots had collapsed. ' Chuck Raney of Farfelu in Flint Last Chance For Retirees Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, recently announced that Gov. Allen has signed House Bill 292 which provides a final opportunity for federal ■ retirees to accept the - Commomwealth’s offer for settle’ ment. This legislation provides any retiree who did not participate in the " original or supplement settlement pro" grams one final chance to receive a settlement payment. This payment is equal to 76.5 percent of the amount of , the original overpayment of tax on federal retirement income for the peri_ od 1985-1988. , The settlement programs were , created in response to the ongoing litv igation in Harper versus Virginia Department of Taxation, a case which was decided finally by the Virginia . Supreme Court in favor of the retirees • in September 1995. In order to participate in this'program, retirees must notify the Department of Taxation of !’ their intent no later than June 10, ; 1996. ; , * * If you are a federal retiree who has contacted the Department of Taxation previously, you have met . the notification requirement. “If you are unsure whether you have been included, please feel free to contact my office. We will be happy to check on whether the Department of Taxation has received your prior noti< fication, advises Del. Katzen.

Hill reported that his vineyard got hit by the frost, but that it was not too bad over the whole vineyard. He estimates that 50 percent of his vines have some damage, but like most other vineyard owners, said it will be later on before he really knows the extent of the damage. At another vineyard in Flint Hill owned by the Johanssen family and, managed by Jim Law of Linden Vineyards, the vines suffered some damage. It was a typical frost, said Mr. Law, where low lying areas get hit and the ones higher up are okay. “We don’t know the extent of the damage yet,” he said, but noted that the frost did burn the very tender shoot tips of mostly Chardonnay. He said the temperature dipped just enough to do damage in the six acre vineyard. The Cabernet Franc vines at Brenda and Jim Welch’s five acre vineyard in Viewtown was hit the hardest, but she thinks that their Chardonnay willbe all right. Mrs. Welch said that the Cabernet Franc vines grow in a lower area than the Chardonnay. She noted that leaves and clusters were damaged; they shrivel up and die, she said. Last year was the Welch’s first crop as their vineyard is just four years old. Despite some frost damage, Mrs. Welch believes that Rappahannock County is an excellent place for growing grapes. She said that site location makes a big difference in how the vines survive through bad weather. Three vineyard owners reported that they don’t believe they had any measurable damage from the frost.

The forum was originally scheduled for the June meeting, but other members prevailed on him to delay it until the July meeting fearing a very long night since the public hearing on the county budget is already scheduled for the June meeting. Mr. Frazier had lined up speakers to present the case against the Goals 2000 program. He said at Tuesday night’s budget workshop he will try to get them to come in July instead. He expects Superintendent David Gangel to make the case for Goals 2000 since the School Board accepted his recommendation that they adopt a resolution asking the state to apply for funding for the program. In the meantime the local Republican Party has scheduled a public meeting for next Wednesday evening at the courthouse. The featured speaker is Rebecca Bocchino who is described as “an education consultant and mother of children in the Fairfax County school system.” According to Walter Longyear, the current chairman of the Rappahannock Republican Party, Goals 2000 will affect students in private schools and those being home-schooled as well as public school students. Mr. Frazier is also trying to bring the public’s attention to a letter sent out by Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois claiming that the.authorization of Goals 2000 funding proposed for the next fiscal year will amount to allowing the federal government to “nationalize” the labor force. Apparently the effort in this legislation to improve the employability of American high school graduates is considered by Rep. Hyde and his local supporters an effort “to create a controlled workforce for the global economy.” Sections of the proposed law cited by Rep. Hyde simply do not support this conclusion. These scare tactics are an effort to destroy the public school system. If Mr. Frazier and Mr. Longyear want to spend their time looking for “boogeymen” under the bed, that is their business. It is time for the Board of Supervisors, School Board and Rappahannock citizens to stand up to this bullying and get on with the business of improving the public schools. Too'Hot After a winter in which public school students missed school because of winter weather, those same students are now missing school time because of heat. On Tuesday students were sent home early because the school buildings became too hot for effective learning and potentially dangerous to the health of some children. Any future building plans should also include retrofitting spaces in the schools that are not air-conditioned with air conditioning. r &*~s, ? y\zl a u f DISCOUNT IN ScM Letters - Schools Don't Merit Attacks To the Editor: A letter to the editor two weeks ago made me wonder whether the letter-writer and I were living in the same county and were familiar with the same schools. Ronald L. Frazier, who represents the Jackson District on the Board of Supervisors, raised the specter of socialism taking over our schools and gynecological exams on sixth-grade girls. He also linked the conduct of Ron Makela, a conscientious member of the school board, to the ignorance of people who read condensed versions of Nazi Germany’s role in World War II. This is inflammatory talk. To see whether there were compelling reasons for Mr. Frazier’s wild words, I spent much of Mother’s Day reading an unabridged version of the Goals 2000 program to which Mr. Frazier referred. I could And nothing that substantiated his fears. I couldn’t even find the word “condom,” though Mr. Frazier put “condom distribution” in quotes as if the words came from the Goals 2000 proposal. An earlier letter to the editor by Walter Longyear on Goals 2000 argued that “having the federal government tax us in order to give money back doesn’t make much sense.” I found this argument persuasive until I considered that the federal government is able to tax income; county governments must rely on property taxes. Until and unless the entire tax system is overhauled, I see nothing wrong with returning part of the income tax collected to the county. I only wish it could be done with less bureaucratic paperwork. Of course, all this is hypothetical since Gov. Allen has rejected the Goals 2000 funds for Virginia. If that changes, the small amount of money destined for Rappahannock makes this discussion almost a waste of time. ‘ Finally — and this is my most important point — I invite Mr. Frazier, Mr. Longyear, Cathy Smith, John L. Marocchi, and any others who publish opinions on our educational system, but who do not have children in it, to spend an hour or two a week volunteering in our schools. As the parent of a RCHS sophomore and a RCES first-grader, I am regularly at both schools, helping with various projects. The teachers, with rare .exception, are excellent. So are the school superintendent, assistant superintendent and principals. Last year, I extensively researched the area’s private schools in an effort to determine the best schooling for my husband’s and my two school-age children and one preschooler. My findings, which appeared in a series in the Rappahannock News, led me to believe that students in the Rappahannock school system can match or surpass private-school students, especially if they have motivated parents. I would like critics to remember, when citing test scores and the costs of educating our children, that the public schools turn away nobody. The emotionally disturbed child whp requires one-on-one attention rightfully claims a share of our tax dollars and an opportunity to take our standardized tests. To the school board, administrators and teachers of Rappahannock County: Keep up your good work. You are appreciated by those of us who see the results of your labor.

This was a true community cooperative effort in the finest sense — Rappahannock spirit at its least! May we always work and play together towards kindling that spirit. HUNT HARRIS Castleton DARE Makes q\ Difference To the Editor: A good idea can often make a big difference in human behavior. The DARE program is proving to be a very good idea. So much public attention has been focussed on destructive, abnormal and negative behavior like drug abuse and violence. Ideas like those can make a difference too, but not the kind of difference that we need in our community. Our friend Breezy Gannon had a very good idea that we believe will help to generate a constructive kind of difference. When Mrs. Gannon lost her husband Frank not very long ago their friends wondered what they could do to provide an appropriate memorial. For many years Frank Gannon had been a loyal and active member of the Rappahannock Lions Club. So Breezy Gannon suggested that donations could be given to the Lions in memory of Frank. Several generous gifts were placed in a spe cial Frank Gannon Memorial Fund. The Lions then decided thajl these gifts could not be put to better use than to open a special account that would be available for a specif. ic new purpose by the DARE program. The Lions Board then agreed to match any gift up to $100 for this purpose. This idea was enthusiastically accepted by Capt. Jeff Brown, the deputy responsible for DARE education in our schools, since it would provide resources for making awards throughout the year. The Lions intend to maintain this special purpose fund as a renewable resource to motivate our students who care enough for DARE to make a lasting difference. *. . a constructive difference. How could we inspire young minds to focus on eliminating drug use and violence in their lives? We could encourage them to think seriously about the DARE idea and to write an essay on the theme “Why DARE Makes a Difference?” And t$>is what 9th graders at RCHS are rrently doing. The best essay will earn the author $200; $100 for second best and $50 for third. The 10 best “runners up” will be given special DARE awards, all presentations to be made at an awards assembly. A panel of literary judges will include Jon Heddleston, Breezy Gannon, Bob Scott, and Emerson Williams after entries have first been screened by the Capt. Brown. The Lions Club has regularly supported the DARE program from the annual project budget. If this new idea succeeds in stimulating young people to become DARE advocates, the Lions would use 'additional memorial donations and matching funds specifically designated for this purpose only. May the best students authors inspire their peers to make that constructive difference. BOB SCOTT Lion’s Club President Old Dominion Politics By JOHN GOOLRICK The Washington Post ran a story earlier this month breathlessly claiming that the election battle between Senator John Warner and Jim Miller has gotten really down and dirty. Maybe so, but very few other people are noticing it besides those eagleeyed Post reporters. Yes, the two have occasionally called each other names, but those who have noticed so far have mainly been political junkies. Mr. and Mrs. Average Man or Woman on the Street simply ain’t paying any attention so far to the Wamer-Miller business if what 1 am hearing — or more importantly not hearing — is any indicator. Warner has now started running television spots to emphasize that he is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative contrary to claims of the opposition and such machinations are designed to let people know he needs their help now, a June 11 primary they did not really know about until hearing his message. It’s true. There is a primary election of huge significance looming just a few weeks away and it is a subject that is definitely not on everyone’s lips. Folks I talk to are concerned about high gas prices, where they’ll spend their summer vacations, the mounting traffic jams as they commute to work and many others things, but seldom do I hear any great concern expressed about issues to be settled in the June 11 primary. The basic question in Warner versus Miller is exactly who is going to show up to vote in a Republican primary. The Miller people, led by state GOP chairman Pat McSweeney, contend that only bonafide Republicans, who are the equivalent of “Yellow Dog Democrats,” should enter the primary. As you know, Democrats of the variety mentioned above would vote for a yellow dog if the dog were the Democratic party nominee. Warner strategists do not want to entrust his fate to people who might resent the fact he has refused to support two statewide Republican nominees in recent years. They want primary votes from people who usually vote Republican but joined with him in declining to cast ballots for Mike Farris and/or Ollie North. He is spending much of his war chest on urging all who want to support him to enter an “open Primary” in defiance of the McSweeney element’s purist attitude. Will Democrats enter the primary to cast voters for Miller so that their own Senate nominee, Mark Warner, might have a better shot at winning in the fall?. Possible, since it’s been done before, most notably in 1977 when thousands of Republicans cast primary votes for Henry Howell in his quest for the gubernatorial nominations ! against Andrew Miller. When Howell ; won the nominations, their' strategy paid off since Republican John Dalton was elected Governor in November. And yet it’s unlikely Democrats are going to want to take the chance that Miller would elected in a fall ■ Senate campaign that, with Bill! Clinton heading the Democratic tick-. * et, will favor whoever is the Republican Senate nominee. ' ‘ You’ll be. hearing a lot more about the primary from now on, although as of this writing it seems to have stirred as much public comment as the latest • scientific statistics on the effects of the ! earth’s curvature on gamma rays. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own.

Baseball Monarchs Win |n 1996 Season Opener By DAVID CLANAGAN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer ^ The Rappahannock Monarchs defeated Edinburg in Apple Valley baseball action Sunday 8 to 3. In a fine pitching job, Leroy North went the distance striking out i2 and walking only four. He got in a little trouble in the second inning and allowed three runs. After that he never looked back. The offensive department belonged to Reggie Williams, who went four for four with three doubles and a single, and Stoney Frye with a three run homer. The Monarchs were down in the third inning 3-0. Reggie Williams came up with a double followed by Luther Alexander with a single and William Parker with a walk. This set the stage for one of the best squeeze plays I’ve ever seen. Jason Brown laid down a perfect bunt scoring Reggie Williams. Rappahannock tied the game and eventually went on to win. On Sunday, May 26, the Monarchs will be at home at the RCHS field facing Strasburg in a double header beginning at 1 p.m. RCHS Plans Weight Training . By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON 1 Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Here is a new one for the make<16 annals at Rappahannock County High School: making the girls’ and boys’ locker rooms double as weighttraining rooms. “Right now, that’s the only thing we can figure out that will work,” says Mike Tupper, RCHS Athletic Director. “The coaches are real anxious to get some weight-training started. Most schools have it, and we need it.” Given the fact that every square yard of RCHS is now occupied, the locker rooms seem like the only possibility. Then there is the problem of equipment. Mr. Tupper is appealing to people who have “free weights lying around their basements” to bring them to the school. He prefers free weights to Universal or Nautilus equipment because the latter require maintenance, and the school has no funds for. that. “Laura Conklin (one of the physi cal education teachers) is an avid weight-lifter. She has the expertise to guide students properly,” said Mr. Tupper. Baseball coach Donn Hackney has been lobbying for weight-training for his players, because he says it will make them stronger hitters and throwers. The girls’ and boys’ locker rooms are adjacent. Mr. Tupper envisions storing the free weights behind some sort of fence and gate accessible to the two rooms. The equipment could be hauled out and returned, as qeeded, he said. “We would need foam padding on the floor, of course,” Mr. Tupper added. “I hope somebody will help us out with purchasing it.” Mr. Tupper said that more than 40 percent of RCHS’s students are involved in at least one of the school’s sports, and that all of these athletes would benefit from weighttraining. His goal, however, is 100 percent involvement. “I want everybody doing something,” he said.

Last Tuesday they" defeated Manassas Park 4-3. Coach Carl Payne reported that Manassas Park took a 10 lead in the first inning, and the Panthers tied the score in the top of the second inning. Then Rappahannock got three more runs in the fourth inning and took a 4-1 lead. Manassas Park got two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, but that ended the scoring. Kylene Wolfe got the win on the mound. Coach Payne said she “pitched extremely well. Our defense was fine. We only had two errors.” The Panther squad got 11 hits. Kiersten and Cari Kerr had three hits each. Other hits were made by Emily Taylor, Angie Atkins, Margo Haynes, Katy Paratore and Kylene Wolfe. Then on Wednesday, in another away game in almost constant rain, the Panthers defeated George Mason 21-19. Angie Atkins led the hitting with three hits, one a triple. Kiersten Kerr, Courtney Welch, Margo Haynes and Cari Kerr had two hits each, and Kylene Wolfe had a home run. Although he will lose two seniors who started this year, in Cari Kerr and Courtney Welch, Coach Payne is optimistic about next year. He sees three very strong juniors returning as Senior starters, several sophomores who will be returning and a gro"up of ninth graders who have made tremendous improvement this year. “We have a very talented team,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to next year.” he believes the junior varsity program that is planned for next year will also aid the team, not next year, but in succeeding years as young players get more opportunity to participate in actual games and come up to varsity with more playing experience. Can Kerr had led the team in hits. Coach Payne said he has watched softball hitters for years, and she is one of best he has ever seen. Replacing her play at shortstop will be another challenge for the next season. Several of the younger players oti the team are participating in the Senior division of youth softball through a Culpeper league. For 13-15 year olds the program will provide the players with more valuable playing time. The home games are at the high school softball field on Wednesday evenings. The away games are generally in Culpeper on Saturdays. * Jenkins Runs l To State Meet Senior Mark Jenkins finished third in the regional track meet in Charlottesville Friday in the 3200 meter run and will compete Saturday in the state meet.

...The Morel of the Story Is This — Eat Your Vegetables Look for Morels (In Rappahannock they are called merkles) through the month of May. If the mushroom hunter already knows where this splendid fungus has been found in the past, there is no need to look. They’11 be there if temperature and warm rain have been in the right combination and quantity. Who knows the secret of this formula? I, for one, do not. All I know is that a dry April usually results in fewer morels. I also know that in some springs there are not morels at all while and that, inexplicitly, some years produce morels big enough to split and stuff with chopped chicken, onion and celery to be baked in a bit of chicken stock and butter with results that reduce my command of the English language to an inadequate state. More about this recipe is required. For now, 1 cannot go on. I am reduced to gazing through the window at the mountains and thinking about morel feasts of the past. “There are bold mushroom hunters and there are old mushroom hunters. There are no old, bold mushroom hunters.” These lines are often "quoted; they bear a truth worth close attention. There is one group, or Genus, of mushrooms which is quite deadly: the Amanitas. The most lethal is also known as The Destroying Angel or Death Angel. It is a handsome fungi of glistening white, with a ..cap, a ring, or veil, under the cap, and cup or volva at its base. It looks so innocuous and pure. Six to 15 hours after eating it, there is agonizing pain and death occurs from “. . . extreme The Virginia Naturalist V By John Trott fatty degeneration of the liver,” as one of my books states the case. Until recently death was sure if this mushroom had been eaten. However, liver transplants have saved a number of people in Oregon in recent years. Beware of The Death Angel. Now that he has thoroughly frightened the reader, let The Virginia Naturalist point out that the Morel, Morchella esculenta is as different in appearance from any of the Amanitas as a cabbage is from a radish. Both of these vegetables are flowering plants; Amanita and Morchella are both fungi; children of the earth, which receive nourishment from the decomposition of plant material. No one could possibly confuse a Morel with any other mushroom for it does not even look like a fungi. In West Virginia many Morel gatherers call them “little haystack mushrooms.” That is quite a good description and works for me. In outline, these mushrooms look like miniature versions of red cedars that march across Virginia fields. Morels range from three inches from ground to tip to the much desired larger ones which may be six inches high. They are hollow and, when large, invite stuffing. Pitted like a natural sponge, they are hard to find among the dead leaves on the woods’ floor. I find Morel hunting a bit like searching for Easter eggs. The first is hard to find out, but once the eye and the brain are cued in, they just pop out at one. The finding is usually accompanied by a yelp of delight whether one has a Morel-hunting partner or not. Rural Virginia should be a good hunting ground for Morel hunters if the literature on the subject is correct. Many sources site old and abandoned apple orchards as a likely spot for Morels. I have never hunted for “little haystacks” in this kind of habitat, so can’t comment. My own private hunting grounds have been in McLean. One was an old forest which had gone through the “pine” stage in which the evergreens had been shaded out by tulip trees, red maples and oaks. This was just off Old Dominion Drive, and I write about it with sadness. The area is now the location of million dollar homes set far too close to each other. The big trees are gone and, I assume, the Morels. There was a Sunday afternoon in late April when Lee and I had been to a matinee of the Washington Opera. I don’t remember the opera but I do remember the Morels. We were both mm* ■A. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan John Jenkins of Sperryville is an avid merkle hunter.

We turned off Old Dominion onto the narrow, quarter of a mile drive to our house in the woods. On an impulse I stopped the car and told Lee I just wanted to know if the white trilliam was blooming along the creek. It was only a step or two from the road. I found my first Morel, then another and another. Lee had joined me after my first yelp of discovery. ^We ended with our hands full, went to the house and returned with baskets to collect more and stopped when we had at least two pounds. Not too long ago Morels were selling at $20 per quarter pound at fancy grocery stores; that gives some monetary idea of our afternoon harvest. We weren’t thinking in those terms, however. The other area where I found •large numbers of these mushrooms was on the 400-acre grounds of the Madeira School, near the Potomac. Giant tulip trees dominated along with a few beeches, red maples and an understory of viburnum and dogwoods. It was here that Lee found the giant, stuffable Morels that made a fine meal for the two of us. I only revealed the secret of this place when I left the school and that was to a bril-. liant, young history teacher who had begged and pleaded for the information. It is my most sincere wish that John Campbell has searched for, and found, Morels in those years I have been away. Morels bring out the worst and best in people.

Park Plans Water Seminar; Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Bill Wade invites area citizens to a day-long seminar on water quality to be hosted by the park on Saturday, June 1. This is the second in a series of Shenandoah Field Study Seminars being held in 1996. “Many people appreciate Shenandoah National Park for its scenic views and recreational opportunities. Not everyone realizes that three of Virginia’s nine watersheds have their origin in this park,” said Supt. Wade. “This is one reason thepark protects and monitors water quality within the park boundary,” he continued. The seminar Will provide a firsthand look at what the park does to minimize impacts on water quality. Participants will study life in a mountain stream and leam about the relationship between this and water quality. With this information, they will be able to test the water quality of any stream. Park scientists will be on hand to show techniques used to evaluate water quality in the park, and to share data they have collected over the years. Two additional field study seminars are scheduled for 1996: forest Health on Saturday, July 13, and; Air Quality on Saturday, August 24. i The Shenandoah Field Study :} Seminars are open to any adu]fe*There , is a 24-person limit for each seminar. | The cost^ $25 per person, covers coqxse ?: materials, supplies ahd refreshments: ’ To register and receive additional information call (540) 999-3489. ■ " Brown Completes Nursing Program Christine , Brown !

Farm Bill Preserves Farmland • , The American Farmland Trust applauded Congress for passing a farm bill that will for the first time £IStJ>rovide federal matching funds to state and local farmland protection programs. On March 22 President Clinton said he would sign the bill, clearing the last hurdle facing the legislation. ...I; AFT, a national farmland conservation group based in Washington, hailed the farm bill provision as a histone and long overdue recognition by Congress of the need for more federal support of state and local programs that protect agricultural land from rampant development. More than one million acres of productive farmland are now being lost annually to development, two acres every minute of everyday.' ™ AFT President Ralph Grossi praised the President and congressional and gubernatorial supporters public House Sponsors Auction " "For the second year in a row, The Flint Hill Public House was a sponsor of The American Institute of Wine & Food’s Rare Wine Auction held at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. on May 11. Owners Denise and John Pearson donated a “lifestyle” package for the live auction, and their cuisine was featured in the First Course Reception served to all auction guests before the bidding began. “We support the AIWF and feel honored to be a part of this prestigious national fund raiser. The Rare Wine Auction is a one-of-akind event in Washington,” said Mr. Pearson. The lifestyle package donated by the Public House includes dinner, an overnight stay and a champagne breakfast for two couples. On the night of the auctioh, guests bad a glimpse of the food at the Public House during the First Course Reception featuring several local AIWF member restaurants. John and Denise served Oysters in Buckwheat Pastry, Seared Pork Tenderloins on Roasted Garlic Biscuits with Apple Rosemary Mayonnaise and Stilton Shortbread with Currant Chutney. The Public House was one of only five Virginia restaurants to receive a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 1995. Their wine list was recognized for offering quality selections across the board, which complement the cuisine and are well organized and designed. The wine list at the Public House is dedicated to Virginia viticulture, showcasing over 40 selections of Virginia wines, alpng with an impressive variety of wines from California, the Pacific Northwest, France and Italy.

He rs- tne son of Mary and Bernard O’Meara of Sperryville. ! The Cum Laude .Society recognises- intellectual achievement and is based entirely on academic standing. for their support of the bill’s farmland protection provision. U.S. Representatives Sam Farr of California and Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland introduced a farmland protection bill in the House. Sixty congressmen co-sponsored the bill. U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania introduced a similar measure in the Senate which passed by a 64 to 32 vote. The governors of California, Delaware, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont wrote letters to House Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts supporting the Senate provision. AFT also applauded the bill’s other conservation provisions, including the authorization of new enrollments in the Conservation Reserve Program, creation of an Environmental Quality incentives Program for crops and livestock, and establishment of a Natural Resources Conservation Foundation and new rural development initiatives. Another provision the group singled out would provide farmers complete planting flexibility, which it said would generate numerous environmental benefits by promoting more diverse cropping patterns and encouraging production on the most productive land. Mr. Grossi said the farmland protection measure coupled with the bill’s other conservation provisions show conservation is an essential part of farm policy and key to maintaining public financial support of agriculture. “For nearly two decades, state and local communities have worked to protect key agricultural areas from urban sprawl,” said Mr. Grossi, a third-generation northern California rancher who has headed AFT since 1985. “Despite their best efforts, state and local farmland protection programs simply have lacked the resources to assure the continuation of agriculture near our growing metropolitan areas. “The President and Congress are to be commended for supporting this long overdue initiative. This farm bill marks the dawning of a new era in federal farm policy an era in which farmers can produce for the marketplace and public support can be coupled to stewardship of the land.” The farmland protection measure will provide $35 million from the Commodity Credit Corporation over three years to farmland protection programs in 18 states. Many of the programs are chronically underfunded. In a report last August, AFT found that three acres of prime and unique farmland — the most fertile, least environmentally sensitive land — are being urbanized for every acre saved. For every farmer who participates in a state or local farmland protection program, six are being turned away. Virginia does not now have any farmland protection program that will benefit from this bill. Such programs generally mean the government purchases development rights directly from the farmer.

That’s the way Gov. George Allen has attempted to portray the federal government, and he contends that for Virginia to remain free of that government’s long arms the commonwealth must reject conditional gifts such as Goals 2000. Gov. Allen’s opponents and representatives of local school boards counter that Goals 2000 is not about the federal government meddling in Virginia’s affairs but rather the commonwealth meddling in localities affairs. “What’s more intrusive?” asked Virginia Education Association President Robley S. Jones. “The federal government saying you could have the money if you want it or the state saying you can’t have it at all?” David L. Blount, government relations officer for the Virginia School Boards Association, said 92 of the state’s 134 local school boards passed resolutions asking the state to supply for the $6.7 million allocated for Virginia in the “Educate America Act: Goals 2000” for the 1996 fiscal year. “Allow local elected school boards to be able to make a choice,” Mr. Blount said. “If they want to participate in a voluntary federal program they should be allowed to do that.” On May 7 Gov. George Allen sent a letter to the members of the Virginia Board of Education, the politically appointed body that ultimately must decide whether to apply for the aid. In his letter, the governor asked board members to determine what changes are necessary to turn this into a true no-strings attached measure: “The board should clearly set forth on a ‘take it or leave it’ basis the unconditional terms under which Virginia could accept Goals 2000.” When the board met on May 9, it delayed a decision until its May 23 meeting because members needed more time to evaluate the situation before the decision. “The timing is too quick to analyze the changes,” said William C. Bosher Jr., superintendent of public instruction, noting that the board had just received the letter from the U.S. Department of Education. Michelle Easton, president of the board, said it simply was impossible for the group to make a decision in one day. In addition, Dr. Bosher said since the education department requires a decision by May .17, he has asked for an extension until June 1. “Certainly there has to be some reasonable consideration for the board’s ability to evaluate the changes,” he said. “If wre don’t get the extension Virginia will be out of the running for FY ‘95 money.” Although Gov. Allen applauded the Clinton administration for removing some mandates and restrictions imposed on states and local school boards, he blasted Democratic leaders for using this as a political pawn. “The lieutenant governor, joined by some partis n members of the General Assembly and Virginia Congressional delegation,” he said, “have sought to exploit the issue for narrow political advantage rather than working with me to force concessions from the Clinton administration that would protect state and local direction of education policy and improvements.” On the other hand, Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr. said it’s not political at all. “Republicans all across the country are participating in Goals 2000,” he said. “If anything I’m siding with the Republicans.” Two days after Gov. Allen’s letter went to the education board, the Virginia Association Counties, on May 8, joined the school board association, the Virginia Education Association and the Virginia Association of School Superintendents in backing Goals 2000. Officials at VACo said local school boards should have the option to apply directly Washington and bypass Gov. Allen for the money, as proposed by Rep. James P. Moran, D8th District, and approved by President Clinton earlier last week. To date, New Hampshire and Virginia are the only two states to reject the funds that were introduced during the Bush administration following the 1989 national governors summit in Charlottesville. Four states — California, Montana, Alabama and Oklahoma — this year reconsidered accepting the money for future years. Robert D. Holsworth, a political science professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and director of the school’s Center for Public Policy, said the issue has become one of ideology for Gov. Allen. It is an attempt to wrestle power from the federal government to the state, he said, and because it deals with funding education as opposed to welfare reform or parole reform, it is difficult to convince people he is doing the right thing. “This is one where he’s swimming against the tide,” Dr. Holsworth said. Mr. Jones pointed out that the state accepts millions of dollars in federal funds every year for everything from schools to roads. “If we were to draw a line in the sand for federal intrusion this seems to be the least likely place to do so,” he said. Yet, Gov. Allen said he will fight to keep Virginia from applying for the aid. He maintains that if the state continues to stand firm the federal government eventually will remove all restrictions: “This is a matter of principle for which I will stand no matter how strongly the winds of political expediency may blow,” he said.

Weinberg From Page A-l I®?* :Di?trict candidate Joe Fisher who joined a large freshma^ Democratic class swept in by the ergate scandals. The Democrats managed to hold onto the seat until mo when Frank Wolf regained the at tw die Republicans running with Ronald Reagan. He took his cue from former Rep. Broyhill emphasizing constituent service and has become known as the “pothole” Congressman. Through most of those years Robert Weinberg was active in wwu Farty politics, serving as iutn District Democratic Party chairman, a member of the State Central Committee, a delegate to the 1976 national convention and as precinct committeeman for over 30 years. • I*11986 he sought the Democratic Party nomination to run against Rep. Wolf but lost in a primary. In 1988 he again sought the party nomination and won in the primary but lost in the general election. This new 10th District was created to be safe for Republican Frank Wolf who easily carried it against Ray Vickery when he first ran in the new district in 1992. In 1994 the Democratic Party did not even field a candidate against Rep. Wolf, but Mr. Weinberg said this year the Democratic Party hopes to field candidates in all the Congressional Districts. He is not unrealistic about his chances but feels Rep. Wolf is vulnerable this year because of his support for Newt Gingrich who led the Republicans in the budget crisis that twice shut down the government. Although Rep. Wolf opposed these government shutdowns from within the Republican Party, Mr. Weinberg holds him responsible because he supported Rep. Gingrich for the party leadership post. Mr. Weinberg even hopes to turn Rep. Wolfs reputation as a “pothole” Congressman against him blaming him for the potholes that fill District of Columbia streets and trap the cars of many 10th District vfctofs. The D.C. budget was also held hostage to the confrontational tactics of the Republicans in Congress, he says. “Under traditional Republican leadership we wouldn’t have had this shut down; these things were worked out. I don’t think the people of this district of any district want that kind of confrontational politics,” Mr. Weinberg said. Bob and Wendy Weinberg raised three children. Their daughter Susan teaches English and creative writing at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. Their son David teaches astrophysics at Ohio State University where his wife teaches art history. Their youngest, Jeremy, is business editor of the Moscow Times, an English language daily paper that specializes in business news. Besides the house in Slate Mills, they also own several other properties in Rappahannock County, and Mrs. ' Weinberg owns and manages The Theatre at Washington. Mr. Weinberg notes that about 50 percent of the voters in the 10th District live in Loudoun County and the parts of Fairfax and Prince William counties included in the district. The other 50 percent live in Rappahannock and Fauquier counties on the Piedmont and in the city of Winchester and the counties of Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah, Page and the northern part of Rockingham > counties in the Shenandoah Valley. From his Arlington house he can reach the suburban part of the district, and from Rappahannock County he can reach the rest. He intends to challenge Rep. Wolfs record on support for education and the environment. He notes that Rep. Wolf claims a good environmental record because he supported adding to the Manassas Battlefield Park and creating a new national park made up of the battlefields in the Shenandoah Valley. But Mr. Weinberg said Rep. Wolf originally considered the issue of the development proposed for land overlooking the Manassas battlefield a local issue and then switched and supported using federal funds for an “immediate taking” of the land that tL Credit Acceptance Corporation Vehicle • Repossession Auction Saturday May 25th at 11:00 a.m. Winchester, VA at State Line Auto Auction Exit 323 (Whitehall) off Interstate 81 ' (800) 562 - 3716 Over 100 Repo Vehicles Two Auto Auctions EVERYWeek J Times Newspapers Staff Photo by R.B.

Mr. Weinberg will support an increase in the minimum wage to keep it up with the inflation rate and “protecting Medicare against the huge cuts proposed by the Republicans.” He supports funding for the arts and humanities. “It’s a small portion of the national budget. The people of this county and district want to support the arts and humanities.” ■He supports tax reform, including the 1986 bill which lowered rates while closing tax loopholes.

Congress against the special interests seeking to carve new loopholes for themselves,” he said. “We need overall tax fairness, supportive of the needs of American families.” Mr. Weinberg and his wife graduated jointly from Yale law school in 1960. They had met when both were attending the London School of Economics. Mr. Weinberg was there on a Fullbright Scholarship after completing his undergraduate work at Yale. He was raised in New York City. Following Yale the Weinbergs moved to Northern Virginia and he jtrArUorl at RHxi/arH R^nn^tt William*! law firm before establishing his own. — By SHARON KILPATRICK ► District From Page A-l As speaker after speaker addressed the delegates, it was apparent that every Democrat running in 1996, is running against House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The Contract with America was referred to as “The Contract on America.” However, they also credited Gingrich with providing the momentum that united the Democratic Party. In accepting the nomination Mr. Weinberg said the U.S. Constitution is the Contract with America and he read from its preamble. He said that term limits will be an issue in the 10th District race noting that Rep. Wolf said he would seek only six terms in the House when he was first elected and is now running for his ninth twoyear term. “Frank Wolf has been there too long,” the candidate said. “He is a decent individual who conscientiously believes in what he votes for. The difference is in what, he votes for. His voting record is not what the 10th District wants.” He particularly faulted Rep. Wolf for supporting Gingrich for the Republican leadership and he blamed Speaker Gingrich’s leadership for the government shut down. Mr. Weinberg noted that estimates show the Washington metropolitan area had lost $3 billion dollars because of the shut down, not just in lower spending by government workers. Contractors who do business with the government were hurt and may not recover, he said. “We cannot tolerate that kind of Contract with America.” He said there is a simple choice “Wolf or Weinberg; Gingrich or Gephardt. I think our district will vote for Gephardt.” He added, “Every individual can make a difference. You are all members nf the Weinbere for Coneress campaign.” Mr. Weinberg was nominated by Ray Vickery who opposed Rep. Wolf in 1992 and is an assistant secretary in the Commerce Department. He described Mr. Weinberg as “a Democrat’s Democrat — capable, seasoned, bright and energetic.” The nomination was seconded by State Sen. Charles Waddell of Loudoun County who blamed Frank Wolf and Sen. John Warner for allowing tandem trailer trucks on U.S. 15. He said Mr. Weinberg will “vote the best interests of the citizens rather than the trucking interests.” Augustus Johnson of Syria also seconded the nomination saying, “The American people have had a good look at what Newt Gingrich has for them, and they hate it. Polls show the Reagan Democrats are coming back; We can carry Virginia for Clinton, for Mark Warner and for Bob Weinberg. John Warner and Frank Wolf vote down the line with Newt Gingrich. Bob works hard and works smart. He will make a great congressman.” There were two other seconding speaches before the final one by Lt. Gov. Don Beyer who said, “All politics is personal, it is built on the power of individuals.” He praised the record of the Clinton Administration in creating jobs and working for world peace. He compared the 10th District race to the battle between David and Goliath in the Old Testament. U.S. Senate candidate Mark Warner said, “Democrats win when Democrats are united.” He said he would support education from Head Start to student loans, the environment and “a woman’s right to choose.” He said the challenge facing the nation is that the technological revolution is bringing as great a change as the Industrial Revolution in the last century. The technological revolution will “change our lives, where and how we do our jobs, educate our children and care for the sick.” He said it is important to make sure rural areas and poor people have access to this new technology. “We will either diminish the disparity or leave some so far behind they never will have an opportunity to touch the American dream....Our challenge is to get that message out.” ► Court From Page A-l abuse treatment because it would interfere with his employment.

Shore Robertson said that Mr. Snyder’s case was profound* ly difficult for the court, and continued him on supervised probation. He told Mr. Snyder that he needed further assessment regarding substance abuse ! treatment and that it should be done in ] light of his present circumstances, j adding that he felt he could squeeze in % a few hours of AA weekly. Milton Conway Hudson, 31, of j Washington, was sentenced to five ] years in prison for possession of a j controlled substance and another five ' years for possession of a firearm, to run concurrently. Then Judge Robertson suspended both sentences, and placed Mr. Hudson on two years supervised probation and ordered him to attend substance abuse counselling. Mr. Luke had argued that he felt ‘ some jail time would be appropriate for Mr. Hudson and that in-patient substance abuse counselling should be. a condition of probation. He said that Mr. Hudson was found to have marijuana in his possession while waiting for the disposition of this case. Even with the hammer over his head awaiting sentencing, said Mr. Luke, he could not stay away from an illicit substance. George Freeman, Mr. Hudson’s attorney, said that there was no evidence before the court that his client had possessed marijuana. Samuel D. Berry, 42, of Culpeper, pleaded guilty to petit larceny. Mr. Luke said that Mr. Berry had one of the longest criminal records he could remember seeing, and recommended that Judge Robertson impose the full 12 month sentence. Mr. Berry pleaded with the judge to go easy on him because he had a girlfriend he had been living with for five years and they had a three yearold son. Judge Robertson sentenced him to 12 months and suspended the whole sentence. He placed Mr. Berry on two years’ supervised probation and ordered him to attend an in-patient treatment program. Gari Allen Kelley, 31, of Amissville pleaded guilty to a felony, breaking and entering. He was indicted in March, along with three codefendants, for breaking into Montpelier, a house on Route 231, last November. He is set for sentencing on July 8, and faces a possible 20 year sentence and a fine. Herman Cefus Newman, 37, of Culpeper, who had been allowed to continue on probation after appearing in court last December on another violation of probation charge, did now show up in court last Thursday and a capias was issued for his arrest. In General District Court on Tuesday, Judge Charles Foley denied bond for Anthony Franklin Moody, 37, 3f Luray until Mr. Moody can speak with counsel. Mr. Moody was charged last week with two felonies including issault and grand larceny and several nisdemeanors in connection with vehicle break-ins in the county.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1996 John Cloud Introduces Tourists to Countv By CINDY MAHAN . Rappahannock News Staff Writer ; John Cloud used to scribble ideas on the backs of napkins for people who asked him “What’s to do in the county?” when he worked at a local restaurant. ; He saw that city people have a .tremendous interest in not only Rappahannock’s natural beauty but what the county residents also have to offer. To help promote the county’s many talents and talented people, he has devised a brochure entitled “Rappahannock — Experience the Magic” which invites tourists to choose an outdoor adventure, take a class to learn a craft or go the cultural route. The list in the brochure is extensive, with outdoor adventures ranging from camping and hiking to fly fishing, horseback riding, cycling and farm and orchard tours. The “Feast for Your Body, Mind and Spirit” section offers 21 choices, including massage therapy, makeovers and manicures, hot tubbing and studio recording. The classes and instruction, which really showcase the talents of Rappahannock’s artist community, range from instruction in quiltmaking, to learning how to work with stained glass, papermaking, pottery, acting and musical instrument making. So who leads all of these events? Mr. Cloud, sort of a one-man tourist bureau and agent, has several county residents who have signed up to teach or lead groups on adventures. Because the idea is so new, people are still hearing about it and contacting Mr. Cloud. For those who want to teach or otherwise entertain the people who contact him, he charges a $25 fee which will guarantee them being the first person contacted in a certain area of expertise. He also charges a 10 percent commission to cover his expenses and his time in setting up events or classes. The brochure lists his phone number as the Special Events Coordinator, and advance reservations are required. It is being distributed by bed and breakfasts, the Virginia Division of Tourism and several businesses around the county. In a cover letter to people who may wish to offer their services for a fee, Mr. Cloud promises that 5,000 of the brochures will be distributed by the end of the summer. He said that he hopes to be of service to the community and those who live in the community. Mr. Cloud said that he perceives tourist dollars as “gentle dollars” because tourists are not coming out to run the schools, build, or influence community policy. They come out, spend money, and then leave and take home some of the magic of the county Schools Experiment With Adult Classes By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer “We are about success,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Gangel, quoting Vince Lombardi, at the beginning of Adult Education Night at RCHS last Thursday evening. He said that the school system is dedicated to continuous improvement. As the only certainty today is change, he said, the schools need to continually upgrade in order to be productive. Even when adults have finished school, whether it be high school, college or graduate work, there is always something else to learn. The adult ed classes held last Thursday evening, organized by Volunteer Coordinator Jan Makela, offered a wide variety of subjects for those who attended. Fifteen classes were held around the high school, each for one-half hour. Subjects ranged from flower drying procedures to beginning drawing techniques, a basic introduction to computers, animal care and do’s and don’ts for beginning investors. Nearly all classes were taught by Rappahannock residents. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner offered “Simple Do It Yourself Legal Procedures,” in which he briefly discussed writing your own will. He said that books are available which can guide one through the will-writing procedure. As wills can be very complicated, he said that people can draft their own will, using a guide book, but it is a good idea to have an attorney look it over to make sure it is done correctly. He related a couple of horror stories about some wills that were done by people on their own which were invalid because of simple mistakes. In Darrow Kirkpatrick’s class, “Resume Writing and Interviewing Skills,” he recommended people look at their career goals before looking for a job. Ask yourself where you want to be in a certain number of years, he said. On a resume, he stated that the most important information should be first. He said that several books are available in the library to help jobseekers, including “The Jobs Rated Almanac.” Mr. Kirkpatrick, who is a retired Navy engineer and moved to the county five years ago, has volunteered to teach a life skills class to high schoolers next year. At a gathering for refreshments in the school library after the classes, everyone had positive comments for the adult ed‘classes. Elbe Clark, who took the law and Spanish classes, said thdt the whole evening was great fun. All 25 to 30 students who attended the classes were handed a survey to return to Mrs. Makela at the end of the evening. Students were asked to list three courses that they would like to see offered. The most requested class was Computer Skills, with 12 listing this class. The next most popular request "was for Spanish and other foreign language i classes, followed by Investments and Stocks, How to Start a Business and Survive, and Resume and Interviewing Skills.

'Twelve Angry Jurors'Slated A courtroom drama leads to volatile situations when 12 jurors must determine the guilt or innocence of a teenaged boy accused of killing his father. This is the central conflict of Reginald Rose’s stage adaption of Twelve Angry Men to be performed on May 31 and June 1 at Rappahannock County High School. While the original cast was composed entirely of men, the RCHS version has been adapted to accommodate a jury of both sexes. The drama, which contains fastpaced dialogue and a diverse case, explores the influence of personal history upon the justice system. Complications arise as each juror’s background begins to influence the decision-making process. Battling it out in the jury room is a colorful palette of personalities: a wealthy businessman (John Arnold), a young man from the slums (Ian Blubaugh), a European refugee (Anika Stegemen), an elderly man defeated by life (Dean Payne), a slick ad agent (Miriam Lathuille), a blue collar foreman (Wesley Welk), a housewife (Sarah Gentry), a racist (Mike Baader), a bitter father (Jason Weakley), a flashy saleswoman type (Serena Waddell), a indecisive conformist (Amelia Manson), and a compassionate man who attempts to lead them all to a wise conclusion (Nathan Flinchum). Rob Reeve plays the guard. The dynamics of the play take shape as characters engage in poignant self-revelation, angry outbursts and moments of catharsis. Audiences can expect some genuine surprises from the cast who will challenge them to delve into the heart of justice and the root of hitman nature. Twelve Angry Jurors promises viewers a thought-provoking and entertaining evening. Tickets will be available at the door. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. in the RCHS auditorium. vey include How to Organize Your Life (or Closets!), Home Nursing, Physics (practical and theory), Upholstery, Auto Care for Women, and Belly Dancing. Many classes were listed by the teachers who would be willing to teach a six to eight week class. Some of these subjects are Real Estate (Sam Snead), Basic Animal Care (Carolyn Gilliland), Dining Out! (restaurant etiquette, intro to wines, pricing, food prep) (Kaye Kohler), Tax Returns (Darrow Kirkpatrick); Beekeeping and Shiitake Mushroom Growing (Warren Darnell), and Simple Home Repairs for Women (Emiel Smet). " Rappahanhock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Darrow Kirkpatrick teaches resume writing and interviewing skills during Adult Education Night. Bennett's 'Talking Heads' Coming to Theatre in June The Theatre at Washington will extend its spring season in order to present an outstanding dramatic production, Talking Heads, by famed British playwright Alan Bennett. There will be two performances, on Saturday, June 8 at 8 p.m., and on Sunday, June 9 at 4 p.m. Mr. Bennett is probably best known in this country just now because he wrote the play The Madness of George III and the screenplay for the film version. But his success began in the early 60s, when, along with Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, and Jonathan Miller, he wrote and performed in the review Beyond the Fringe. Theatre manager, Wendy Weinberg, says “Bennett’s delicately humorous empathy with characters who manage at the same time to be both eccentric and very ordinary has long made him my favorite contemporary English playwright.” Mrs. Weinberg says that she had been hoping to bring the Talking Heads to the Theatre at Washington since first seeing them on BBC TV in the early 90s, and is pleased to have two well known professional actors, June Hansen and Jon Tindle, both of whom hail from England, to fill the roles. Talking Heads actually is made up of six independent segments, not all or which are performed at the same time. The two parts coming to the Theatre are those Mrs. Weinberg likes best. “Bed Among the Lentils” concerns an English vicar’s wife. “A Cream Cracker Under the Settee,” also set in England, is about an oldage pensioner and her acceptance, or otherwise, of ministrations from a “home help” sent by the local authority’s benevolent social service agency. Following each of the performances the audience will have the opportunity to meet the actors, at a free reception sponsored by the Rappahannock Association of Arts and the Community in the showroom of the well known Washington cabinet-maker, Peter Kramer. Tickets for Talking Heads at The Theatre at Washington are $ 13.50 with reservation and $15 at the door. Children’s tickets are half price. For reservations phone 675-1253. Town Plans July 4 Parade The 4th of July festivities in the Town of Washington will have a new highlight this year — an old-fashioned •parade with a marching band, decorated cars and floats — and everyone is welcomed to participate. The parade also will include a children’s bicycle parade, as in the past. Judges will determine the “most patriotically decorated” car and bicycle and the best float, said Ellen Manson, head of the 4th of July committee for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC). “The more red, white, and blue, the better,” said Manson. RAAC is the organization in charge of the directing and managing the 4th of July festivities for the primary benefit of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. The parade starts at 4 p.m. The lineup begins at 3:30 p.m. at the old mill near the library. Bicycles will line up at 4 p.m. at the'courthouse. “We would like to see every organization in the county participate in this parade,” said Manson. Those interested in participating in the parade should contact her at 6751349. Performing in the parade will be the Sardell High School marching band from Minnesota who are in a parade elsewhere in Virginia on the 4th of July and volunteered to be in the Town of Washington’s parade the same day. with them, he said. And he likes the idea of matching up locals with visitors who do not know about country life. Laurie Marshall is one artist who plans on working with Mr. Cloud teaching art, storytelling and movement. She thinks that his idea could be a wonderful service for the county and that it will be good for the artists, craftspeople and businesses. / Bob Lucking has taken a group on a bicycling tour, Susan Parrish is teaching quilting, and many other residents of varied talents and expertise have signed up to help make a visitor’s trip to Rappahannock special. About his service, Mr. Cloud says, “I hope it serves the community. I really like being here and if it helps, great.” For more information, call him at 675-1864.

It is the memory of a nation with love’s sacrifices etched in its soul. It is a day that reminds us we are part of a nation and system which declares that all persons are free: Free to speak, to believe, even not to believe. From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli; from Bunker Hill to Kings Mountain; from Bull Run to Gettysburg; from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima; from Seoul to Heart-Break Ridge; from Saigon to the deserts of the Middle East; ...and on to Bosnia our grandfathers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters have fought, shed crimson blood, and died that this nation and its system of freedom, its promise of liberty, shall not pass from the land. But Memorial Day is more than laying flowers on graves of the war dead and loved ones who died without intrusion of wan' horron. It is growing within our souls the living flowen of life’s loves, liberties, freedoms and achievements so that all peoples shall know the beauty of life lived in peace. The graves on whicn we lay flowen, the monuments we lean flowen against, are the soil that will enable the flowen of our lives to grow as we REMEMBER! * Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Acts Acts Arts Acts Acts Acts 1 Corinthians 2:1-13 2:14-21 2.22-42 4:1-22 4:23-31 8:26-10 13:1-13 Scriptures Selected by The American Bible Society Copvrtght 1996 Keister-Williams Newspaper Services P O Bo* 8005 Charlottesville VA 22906 " lol “ ABERDEEN BARN .

Asparagus Is of Nutritional Value By HELEN SMITH EitmiM A feat. Home FcMDDiici Asparagus is ideal for those concerned with nutrition and diet. It is low in calories, very low in sodium, a good source of potassium and a source of dietary fiber. Asparagus starts to appear in grocery stores around the end of February and is available through the summer months. The peak months for local asparagus is April and May. There are several growers in our county if you want to buy some locally- lySelection When selecting fresh asparagus, choose straight, bright green stalks of uniform size with tight tips and moist bases. When figuring how much to buy, allow 8-10 stalks about 1/2 pound — per person. Bundles usually average 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, containing 3-4 dozen stalks. Preparation To prepare asparagus for cooking, snap off the tough stem ends and wash asparagus well in tepid water. Remove the scales because they contain grit. Asparagus With Sour Cream Sauce Serves: 6 2 pounds fresh asparagus HOME ECONOMICS 1 cup sour cream 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional) • Snap off ends of asparagus and discard. Cook asparagus in a steamer or in lightly salted simmering water until crunchy (about 5 minutes). • Let cool and refrigerate. • Mix remaining ingredients except sesame seeds. • If serving as a vegetable, put a heaping spoonful or two of sauce on each serving of asparagus, sprinkle top With sesame seeds. • Try this an hors d’oeuvre by hollowing out a green, red or yellow pepper and filling with the sauce. Serve on a tray surrounded by asparagus on lettuce leaves. Asparagus Vinaigrette Serves: 3-4 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt dash of pepper 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 6 tablespoons oil 1/4 teaspoon grated onion 1 dan asparagus, drained 1 hard-boiled egg • Combine all ingredients except asparagus and heat thoroughly over low heat, but do not boil. • Pour over the asparagus and refrigerate. • Grate a hard-boiled egg over the vtop before serving. • Serve cold. Cold Asparagus With Pecans May be marinated up to 36 hours ahead Serves 6-8 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus or 2 •(10-ounce) packages frozen asparagus 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup sugar pepper to taste • Cook fresh asparagus in boiling water 6 to 7 minutes or until tender and still bright green. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain again. • Arrange in 1 or 2 layers in oblong serving dish. • Mix remaining ingredients and pour over asparagus, lifting asparagus so mixture penetrates to bottom of dish. • Sprinkle with pepper. • Serve chilled. Asparagus-Cheddar Cheese Pie A nice luncheon dish served with fresh fruit Serves: 6 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese 1 can Cheddar cheese soup 2 cans asparagus tips, drained 2 deep-dish pie shells • Mix cream cheese and soup in blender or with mixer. • Stir in asparagus. Pour into pie shell. • Cover filling with second pie shell. Seal edges. • Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until crust is brown. • Let sit for 30 minute before serving. Older Americans Month Celebrates 30 Years Of Work For Elderly Citizens By IRMA PETERS Rappabrauock News Contributing Writer In 1963, when the first Older Americans Month proclamation was signed by President Kennedy, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays. One third of them were poor, and there were few programs to meet their needs. In 1965, the Older American Act was passed by Congress to set up a new, locally-based network of area agencies on aging whose primary mission is to help the elderly maintain their independence and live out their years in their own home. The Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board is one of those 670 area agencies on aging that have served the elderly in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties with services such as nutrition programs, transportation, in-home services, job training and legal assistance. This network has made a huge difference in people’s lives. Today, there are 33 million living Americans who have reached age 65. Their poverty rate is half of what is was. The elderly are the fastest growing segment of our population. Almost one million elderly live in Virginia; the 19,000 older persons living in this region are served by the Community Services Board in a variety of ways. Last year, the agency delivered 51,840 meals to 383 frail elderly in their homes and provided 40,000 hours of in-home care to 141 elders who are at risk of institutionalization. Another 19,914 meals were provided to 247 individuals at 5 nutrition sites and senior centers in the area. Over 30 percent of the elderly cannot drive to the doctor or the grocery store, so the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board provided 136,000 miles of transportation. In addition, the agency provided 41,532 hours of volunteer services to older persons, and individual advocacy and problem solving assistance to 375 elders and their families. This month, RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board will celebrate thirty years of service to the elderly and their family members. For information about the programs we offer and special older Americans Month activities in the community, call us at 540-825-3100. In spite of all these services, the demand continues to be greater than our funding permits. We are therefore asking for support from churches and individuals for this program that is vital to so many homebound senior citizens in this planning district. If you want more information or to make a contribution, please call 540-825-3100. Rappahannock News gift subscriptions are enjoyed all year!
