County May Take Land Dumpsters To Stay Open for Now By SHARON KILPATRICK RappahiHock New* Staff Writer The county government wants to purchase land belonging, to Rosemary Wire Anderson and William W. Anderson for a centralized trash collection site and perhaps other uses. In a resolution adopted unanimously Monday afternoon the Board of Supervisors stated they wished to acquire land from the Andersons “for public purposes” and would use “the power of eminent domain” if necessary. The resolution calls on County Administrator John McCarthy and County Attorney Peter Luke “to employ appropriate persons,” presumably an appaiser and surveyor, to accomplish this including invoking the Code of Virginia to enter onto the property. The Andersons own 581.3 acres on three tracts on both sides of Rock Mills Road between the two schools. The property is part of The Shade Farm. The supervisors further stated they had no interest in acquiring any more land from Roy Leake. The county purchased land from Mr. Leake for the elementary school and more land from him for the recent addition to the school. The board also approved a motion to keep the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble open until a central site for trash disposal is available. Until the centralized site is available the board will continue its contract for hauling from the two dumpsters on a month-to-month basis. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he wants the two dumpster sites to be closed by September, and the motion calls for a review then, but other members said they did not believe the site could be available by September. The school budget was cut by $6,000, the amount budgeted for dumpsters at both schools and the central office, because the supervisors See Trash, Page A-6 Two Women Slain in Park By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Two young women hikers were found dead in their tent with their throats cut at a campsite near Skyland in Shenandoah National Park last Saturday night. According to Robbie Brockwehl with the Shenandoah National Park public information office, the bodies were identified as Julie Williams, 24, and Lollie Winans, 26, Both lived and worked in Vermont. Ms. Williams’s father called the park last Friday, concerned that he had not heard from his daughter. She and Ms. Winans were doing a long circuit hike throughout the Central area of the park over the Memorial Day weekend and were due to'Ieave the Park on Monday, May 27, to return to New England. Park rangers found the bodies about 8:30 p.m. at a campsite off of a horse trail within 1/2 mile of Skyland Lodge. The case is considered a homicide. No information has been released oh the time or date of death. A press release from Shenandoah National Park states that they were last seen on May 24. On Sunday, Major Rick MacWelch and Capt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office were called in to help with evidence collection at the site.

A visitor arriving at 1:45 p.m. saw Sheriffs deputies and state troopers surrounding the school. Approaching a deputy standing guard at a side entrance, she asked, “What’s going on?” “You’ll have to ask Sheriff Settle,” the deputy replied tersely. She dashed to the front door, suddenly worried that her teenager might be in some kind of danger. At the front door, secretary Dianne Pendleton waved her into the main office. “You’ll have to wait in here, with the door shut, until it’s over,” she said. “What’s over?” “The drug search.” Photo courtesy ol Bonnie Price Lotion Dudley, a 10-year-old Labrador, races ahead of state trooper Earle Foltz as they reenact checking the high school for illegal drugs. The school was as silent as a morgue. No students’ voices, no footsteps, no distant sounds of choir practice or basketballs dribbling. The few people in the main office seemed nervous beneath their quiet exteriors, as if waiting for a storm to hit. Suddenly, there was sound. Ker-plop. Kerplop. Ker-plop. Like a horse galloping in padded slippers. Then panting. Through the glass in the door, the mother saw a black Labrador straining at his leash, pulling his handler as the dog ran with his nose pointing toward the lockers. In moments, another dog and handler followed. Under other circumstances, they might have been cute. But in the abandoned hallways — all students and teachers had been ordered to stay in their rooms — they looked ominous. The handlers, who were state troopers, wore navy blue jump suits and black boots. They were armed and they looked serious, completely unlike the friendly fellows who visited the elementary students for DARE Day. When the search was over, about 20 minutes later, Principal Jack Raines proudly announced, “The school was clean, which is what we expected. We just want it to stay that way.” The dogs were trained to sniff for drugs and explosives or weapons. bui ii me scnooi was clean, wny was it possible to hear several locker doors banging shut during the sweep? Were certain lockers searched? Sheriff Gary Settle answered that no lockers were searched, but the dogs did stop and paw at certain ones, causing the banging sound. “The dogs can sniff the residue of drugs on clothing or personal belongings," said the sheriff. But he added that the handlers are able to distinguish between the dogs’ reactions to residual odor and their reaction to the actual presence of drugs. No lockers were searched because no actual drugs were detected, said the sheriff. There were also no weapons detected. Mr. Raines and assistant principal Mike Tupper were in the hall during the banging of the lockers, presumably observing which students’ lockers caused the dogs to pause. Mr. Raines said that students should be aware that "searches will be conducted periodically from now on” in order to ensure that RCHS remains a “drug-free zone.” Budget Hearing Quiet About 15 people showed up for the public hearing on the county budget Monday night, but none of them wanted to say anything. After a while Chairman Hubert Gilkey closed the hearing. Hampton District representative Mike Massie asked for a show of hands of those favoring the budget and those opposing it. About eight raised their hands in support and two in opposition. In response to a question James Wooten said he just wanted more information on what was causing taxes to increase. County Administrator John McCarthy said about half th“e increase was for the schools. Required raises for constitutional officers and other county employees account for most of the rest, he said. Mr. McCarthy said the state has “retracted some of its support for law enforcement,” specifically mentioning less money for mileage on Sheriffs cars. Henry Gorfein asked if the county had fully explored other ways to raise money besides real estate taxes. He said he had paid licensing fees in other counties. Mr. McCarthy said the county had looked at the Business and Professional License but did not believe it would bring in much money. A 2 percent tax on meals and lodging could save about one cent on the tax rate, but would have to be approved by the voters in a referrendum, Mr. McCarthy said. “It has never passed in any referendum,” he said. “People do not vote to put a tax on themselves.” • The supervisors scheduled a meeting for 6 p.m. Monday, June 24, to take action on the budget. — By SHARON KILPATRICK Goals 2000 Forum Features Vocational Education Trends By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Republican Parly-sponsored forum on Goals 2000 was not about Goals 2000 at all, but rather about new ideas in vocational education. Led by Rebecca Bocchino and Mary Breed from Fairfax, the meeting consis^d largely of their showing a series of pages from different sources on an overhead projector and their interpretation that these represent frightening trends in American education and education in Fairfax County, in particular. About 25 people attended the forum including members of the Board of Supervisors Ron Frazier and Robert Anderson, School Board member Ron Makela and School Superintendent David Gangel. Starting with a study of Soviet education published in 1990 by Robert Beck of the University of Minnesota for the National Center for Research in Vocational Education at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, Mrs. Bocchino noted that the study said the purpose of "polytechnical education” in the Soviet Union combined vocational and academic education to involve “the students in socially useful productive labor, and (develop) in them a communist attitude toward labor.” She said ‘three things were required for this education: restructured academic studies, vocational See Goals, Page A-6

Senior Wins Surveyors' Top Math Prize , Photo courtesy of Bonnie Price Lofton Mike Wolfe was first in the region on a trigonometry test. By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The person most surprised at the First-place district winner in this year’s Trig-Star math contest was the winner himself. “I thought I was slow,” said Mike Wolfe, a senior at Rappahannock County High School. “Everybody else was finishing fast.” If “everybody else” finished faster than Mike, they must have gotten the answer wrong, because Mike was the first of'about 7$ students in the contest to arrive at the right answer. He answered the problem in 14 minutes, which his math teacher, Frieda Herman, says is remarkable. “We had just finished studying the subject (of the problem in this year’s contest), so everything was fresh in my mind,” said Mike. “I thought it was pretty easy. “You just had to know sine and cosine and the Law of Sines formula. They gave you a few different angles and you had to figure oiit the height of the pole.” Mike recalled that he had to take a remedial math class in third grade, but ever since seventh grade he’s been an “A” student in the subject. He will be entering Virginia Tech next year and is leaning toward an engineering degree. The Trig-Star Contest is an annual event sponsored by the Virginia Association of Surveyors. District winners like Mike are entered into the state contest. If Mike wins at the state level later this month, he will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the national contest in Colorado, sponsored by the National Association of Surveyors. Last year a student from RCHS placed second in the state, so Mrs. Herman is hopeful that Mike will do as well or better this year. Mrs. Herman sees that all her students compete in the Trig-Star contest. She and Vicki Eastham also enter their students on the Virginia Mathematics League contests. Mrs. Herman says it is gratifying to see that RCHS often out-scores much larger and more prestigious schools in the contest. “It’s nice to receive confirmation that I am teaching them something and that, yes, they are learning something,” she said. “I think it’s important for the students to see that they are competitive with those from bigger schools.” She added that the “winner is never who they [the students] think it is going to be. It’s often someone who hasn’t received accolades in some other way.” In Mike’s case, however, he has received at least one other accolade. He and all three of his siblings were honored at last week’s athletics banquet for being “scholar athletes.” Mike was on the varsity soccer team this year.

I The charge stems from an incident in January, 1995, when Ms. Hughes was acting as the midwife in a home birth, according to her attorney, David Bracken of Alexandria. The baby died because the umbilical cord became compressed. The charge against Ms. Hughes has been brought against her by the prosecutor’s office in Leesburg. The parents of the dead infant, Nancy and Harrison Miner, do not blame Ms. Hughes for the death and are expected Correction Sharon Genebach has been practicing law in Rappahannock County for 20 years. The story in last week’s issue of the Rappahannock News was correct. The headline was incorrect. The Rappahannock News regrets the error. to testify in her behalf at her trial. In this instance, said Mr. Bracken, it is local physicians who are pushing for Ms. Hughes to be prosecuted. He is surprised that they are pursuing the case. It is a tragedy, said Mr. Bracken, that the little girl died, but to put Martha Hughes in jail would be just as bad. Ms. Hughes is a lay midwife; she is not a certified nurse midwife which would be recognized by the state of Virginia. She typically helps women who wish to have a natural birth in their own homes. Because she is out on a $ 100,000 bond, she has not been allowed to practice midwifery since her indictment. Fellow midwives and friends of Ms. Hughes’s have pulled together and are planning several fund raisers for her defense between now and her trial beginning Nov. 18 in Leesburg. The jury trial is expected to last for three days. $3,000 was raised in the first two weeks following Ms. Hughes’s indictment. Hundreds of signatures have'been obtained on petitions at Mountainside Market which espouse an individual’s freedom of choice to choose a home birth with a midwife over a hospital birth, and to express disagreement with the state’s prosecution of midwives. Ms. Hughes said the petitions will be send to the prosecutors in Loudoun County. Midwife Susie Gillette of Front Royal and midwife Sheila SimmsWatson of Sperryville, who works with Ms. Hughes, have planned several fund raisers for her. * The first will be a benefit potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. on June 14 spon 3<JWW50% OFF Storewide Includes: Gifts, Accessories, Swimwear & Hats Girls Infants -14 • Boys Infant - 7 • Maternity Petite - X-Large 122 East Davis Street, Culpeper, Virginia • (540) 829-6836 ^ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South, Culpeper 825-1037 ABERDEEN ./BARKS ; Wednesday Night Prime Rib ^ ^ Thursday Night Steak Dinner Special New York Strip, Salad, OC • Potato & Onion Rings CJ) 1U« / 3 sored by Deanna Staniszewski of Falls Church.

Paid Political Advertisement Dear Friends and Neighbors: ( Please let me explain why I am voting for Senator John Warner on Tuesday, June 11th. May I urge you to consider the same. 1.1 believe John Warner is a man of very rare courage. He placed his loyalty to his God, his country, ALL Virginians, the U.S. Senate and his own conscience above his loyalty to his party's misled choice in the last Senate race. He did this knowing it jeopardized his political career. He simply could not support Ollie North as Virginia's other U.S. Senator. He could not, nor could any other honorable senator, aid Ollie North to join the same Senate that he, Ollie North, has grossly dishonored on national television by lying to it under oath! Of course, he likewise could not support the socialist ideologies of Chuck Robb either. He cast his support to another Republican, as did I. 2. John Warner and I were volunteers in combat service for our country in war. Senator Warner did it twice. As a result, no government official knows better than he what it means to send our GIs into foreign wars. Nor does any legislator look out for the best interest of active service people, and the veterans, more or better than John Warner. Can we afford to have a draft evader take up this critical duty? Don't we already have one too many draft evaders in high government office? 3. In modern times no Virginian has done more for national defense than John Warner. And he has seen to it that Virginia gained and kept the largest share of the economic benefits therefrom. Can Virginia, indeed the nation, afford to have him replaced with someone who knows naught about defense? 4. John Warner and I are both gun owners. We believe deeply in the 2nd Amendment All lawful people should be able to legally possess firearms if they wish. But we do not think it is imprudent to require that time be taken to run a criminal check on gun buyers. If the Brady Bill prevents one innocent's death - or another president from being shot - it is worth a small inconvenience to us law abiding citizens. 5. John Warner and I are both Christians. Though neither of us would likely win a "Mother Teresa Award" for piety, we do practice real Christian principles. However, we have neglected to make a pilgrimage to Virginia Beach to kiss the ring of Pope Pat, or be blessed by Cardinal Ralph, or have our political "Heaven Ticket", punched by Bishop Mike Farris. Our "herd instincts" for taking directions from TV preachers, and such like, are very poor. We certainly can not go along with excluding people of non-Christian religions, or no religion, from the political process! The so-called "Christian Right" controls Virginia's Republican Party apparatus, hence John Warner, who was not even invited by the apparatchiks to last weekend's convention, has had to take the extraordinary step of requiring a primary to select the Republican Senate Candidate. This may turn out for the best, since Senator Warner has served all Virginians equally well, it somehow seems right that we all should have the opportunity to keep him as our Senator. We all will lose if he can not stay on. 6. At this critical time, as we the people, and our fine Republican leadership, make government more responsive to the people and cheaper for us taxpayers, can we afford to replace the leadership, experience, seniority and prestige of Senior Senator John Warner with someone who has none of these attributes? Can we risk sending an unproven novice - one who has never held elected office - up against another well-financed slick young Democrat in November? I sav NO! If you say "yes", then "Slick Willie" will love you! John Warner has served all Virginians equally, and each of you - Republican, Democrat, Independent, or whatever - is eligible to vote in the Republican primary next Tuesday. PLEASE join me in voting for 1QHN WARNER, a truly sincere and faithful Virginian. Senator John Warner has no prior knowledge of-this letter. Respectfully, Robert E.L.

John Warner When John Warner announced his intention to seek re-election this year to the U.S. Senate, he asked an interesting question: “Can an elected leader in Virginia vote his conscience for what he regards to be in the best interest of his country and his state — putting principle before politics — and be returned to office?” Warner is a rare breed ip contemporary American politics, one who speaks his mind quite often regardless of the political consequences. For that, Virginians have re-elected him by overwhelming margins in his two previous campaigns (74 percent in 1984 and 82 percent in 1990). He is the same principled conservative he was when first sent to the U.S. Senate. But also for that, from internal Republican Party battles Warner is how suffering the sharp sting of critical rejection from some in the GOP forgetting what he has done tp build that same party over the past three decades. It should in the larger picture be fairly pointed out that throughout his public career in the military and in civilian service, this same man has been a constant and now respected Virginian and voice for its people — for jobs, for our way of life and for national security. On taxes, on the federal budget, crime, highways, agriculture, the interests of government workers and qn high tech and small business, this 69-year-old now ranking member of the U.S. Senate has well served the interests of Virginia.* ; During his time in the Senate, Warner has cast more than 7,000 votes, and that mathematically generates a lot of disagreement with anyone in political life. But to have his Republican opponent chaffing over only about a dozen of these votes? Not bad. • Virginians will have a chance to voice their opinion next Tuesday, June 11, when the Republican Party holds its primary. Voters here should use this as an opportunity to send a message — character and performance still count today. John Warner, a credit to this community and to the people of Virginia, is the solid and easy choice. He has earned it by a career test under live ammunition. County Budget Since none of the public present for the public hearing on the county’s budget chose to make a statement, Board of Supervisors Chairman Hubert Gilkey was prepared to close the shortest budget hearing in recent memory. Instead the public was treated to a very brief political science lesson as County Administrator John McCarthy explained that much of the expected tax increase is due to mandates from the state and federal governments, and the county is left with no viable alternative to the real estate tax for raising revenues. ’’Speak out now about the budget . this te your last chance, (all 14 of you!) Parents Accountable To the Editor: Some recent letters to the editor have commented on the county public school system, with references to Goals 2000, student achievement, and standardized tests. I repeat the Goals 2000 below, with one substitution. By the Year 2000: • All children in Rappahannock County will start school ready to learn. • The Rappahannock County high school graduation rate will be at least 90 percent. • All students in Rappahannock County will leave grades 4, 8 and 12 having demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter in core academic subject • Rappahannock County students will be first in the world in mathematics and science achievement. (OK, first in Virginia). • Every adult in Rappahannock County will be literate and will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. • Every Rappahannock school will be free of drugs, violence, and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol, and will offer a disciplined environment conducive to learning. • The Rappahannock County teaching force will have access to programs for the continued improvement of their professional skills and the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to instruct and prepare all Rappahannock County students for the next century. • Every school in Rappahannock County will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children. Regarding student achievement, an earlier letter suggested that we follow the example of private business and replace the school leadership. Schools are not businesses. The most important factor affecting student achievement is not the superintendent but the parents. The more parents are involved, the better the students perform. Let’s hold ourselves accountable before we look for scapegoats. Finally, standardized tests scores may predict success in school, but not success in life. For example, many of the best colleges and universities treat SAT scores as optional. If a student wants to submit their SATs, these schools will accept them, but they’re not required. These institutions know that standardized test scores are only one indicator of the kind of adult our kids will become. Extracurricular and community activities are often better clues. HAL HUNTER Amissville Garden Party Thanks To the Editor: RAAC would like to extend its many thanks to everyone who made the Garden Party a success. A special thank you goes out to Col. and Mrs. Stewart Willis for allowing us to use their lovely property, Mt. Prospect Farm. We would also like to give recognition to the local businesses for their donations: Ochs Box, Bleu Rock Inn, Public House, Mrs. Cox Tavern, The Inn at Washington, Country Cafe, Appetite Repair, Mountain-side Market, Celia Deli, Goat Hill Farm and Baldwin’s Grocery. And last but not least a big thank you for all the RAAC volunteers who worked very hard before, during, and after to put all the pieces together. Many thanks as well to the community for you continued support of our organization. JOAN HERREMA and BEVERLY ATKINS Co-Chairs Teachers Will Be Missed To the Editor: I am writing this letter to recognize and thank two very fine teachers who are leaving the Rappahannock County school system this year. Mrs. Cynthia Way land came to Rappahannock County High School 26 years ago. She taught some English in the earlier years, but being “Rappahannock’s French teacher” is how most know her. Mrs. Way land is a teacher who is dedicated to a higher standard of excellence. She has prepared her students for learning beyond Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahah'' '! Ester Settle of Flint Hill, shown here with Jane Johnson from the American Cancel* 1 Society, was the top fund raiser at last weekend’s Relay for Life held at Airlie. f j high school by providing them with rich instruction, keeping high expectations, and giving regular encouragement. She is an individual who cares about learning and cares about kids. Mrs. Nina Norman started teaching at Rappahannock County Elementary School in August of 1988. Although she is certified to teach the lower elementary grades, she has given her time and dedication to remediating children in their areas of need. She taught Math Lab, Reading Lab, and finished her tenure teaching Speech. Mrs. Norman has approached teaching with patience, kindness, and a genuine copcem for the education of children. She has used resourcefulness and diligence in searching out ways to meet her students’ instructional needs. Thank you, Mrs. Wayland and Mrs. Norman, for your time, your dedication, and for your Contributions to the education of our county’s young people. You’ve been an example of your profession and an asset to our community. There is a saying that goes “To teach is to touch a life forever.” You have reached many, and you will be missed. MOLLY M. BAILEY Washington Squad Reports To the Editor: The Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad want to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our new officers for 1996 and share our changes with the public. These are just a few changes Company 7 has made. We are trying to make our company better to serve you. The wonderful support we received from the community keeps us going and without that support we would not be able to continue to provide this service. Our new officers are President Steve Soaper; Vice President Donald Gore, Captain Geraldine Payne, Lieutenant Jimmy Deal, First Sargent Jason Ruffeiz, Sargent Matthew Payne, Treasurer Chris Forman and Secretary Stacey Alther. The Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad sponsored the Miss Rappahannock Pageant. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all those who made donations. STACEY ALTHER , Sperryville Goals 2000 Program Praised To the Editor: I would like to thank Walt Longyear for inviting Rebecca Bucchino to speak to all that were interested in Goals 2000. Clearly, Ms. Bucchino’s research has produced facts that Goals 2000 is a poor excuse for better education. Goals 2000 is only a small segment of a systematic change for our society to include our schools and business environments. Our children will continue to complete their education with less academic accomplishments in exchange for greater social skills. I would like to encourage our elected officials to hold more public meetings on such controversial issues before they vote. 1 am quite concerned about the lack of interest that four of the school board members exhibited by their lack of attendance. However, I do appreciate Mr. Makela and Dr. Gangel’s interest, and I hope that they ' were convinced that this isn’t a good program. I strongly recommend that our School Board retract their vote on Goals 2000 until they have a thorough understanding of Goals 2000 and its relationship to “America’s Choice: high skills or low wages!”, as produced by Marc Tucker of the National Center on Education and the Economy, with the assistance of Hillary Clinton. If Goals 2000 is such a great program, then why have four states decided to withdraw from the program and return federal funding? This should be a clear message, and I ask you, elected officials, to be meticulous with your decisions. This will affect our future. CAROLYN WHORTON Amissville Support Warner To the Editor: The Republican Party of Virginia faces an unusual problem in this election year in that there are two sensible conservative candidates who seek the party’s nomination at the June 11th primary election for a seat in the United States Senate. Both have extensive experience in government; both stand for many of the same principles and goals. However, one, Senator John Warner, has much more federal service, both military and civilian, and has been regularly voting to advance those goals and principles as a member of Congress. His record is ‘ much more impressive. Senator Warner served as a sailor in World War II, a Marine officer in the Korean War, and Secretary of the Navy during the Vietnam War. In Congress, he is a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Agriculture Committee. He has served as vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on the Environment and Public Works Committee and the Senate Rules Committee. Senator Warner has dedicated most of his life to the service of Virginia and the country as a whole. He rightly deserves to be reelected to another, term in the Senate. Let’s see why. Over the years, Senator Warner has consistently sought to balance the federal budget and reduce the national debt; eliminate wasteful programs; assure a strong national defense; 'secure a fairer tax code and reduce the capital gains tax; toughen sentencing requirements for drug dealers, driveby shooters, and women and child abusers; oppose federal funding1 for abortion; and seek a sensible and affordable health care program. Senator Warner has sponsored or co-sponsored the following bills: • the balanced budget amendment, • the Presidential line-item veto • estate tax relief for small farms and businesses • the 1995 Farm Bill • welfare and food stamp reform • strict limitations on the President’s ability to place U.S. troops under United Nations control • assure a strong effective missile defense system • stop illegal .immigration and improve legal immigration policies • ban partial birth abortions • reduce the size of the federal government and its many oppressive regulations • opposed deployment of U.S. troops to Bosnia. And these are only a few of the many issues on which Senator Warner has concentrated during his time in office. Since some members of thev Republican Party have accused’Senator Warner of being a traitor to the party’s interests by opposing.the - candidacy of Oliver North in the 1994 senatorial election, let me put .that, issue in focus. In the 1980s Mr. NbrflhC almost brought down the administration of President Reagan by his illconceived and amateurish effort to secure the release of a dozenAmerican hostages held under Iranian control by secretly selling TOW missiles and other military hardware to a so-called moderate faction of the' Iranian Government. This ridiculous1, “clandestine operation,” really an Iranian scam, blew up in North’s face,1 caused havoc in the U.S. Government^and ultimately North was obliged to appear before a Senate investigating; committee to explain his activities. Much later, North was convicted iri ' federal court of having violated two federal laws. An appeals court subso- ’ quently set that conviction aside only! because North had been promised immunity by the Senate committee before which he testified. Although some in the Republican' Party blame Warner for North’s: defeat, it was a large majority of the voters in Virginia who made that happen. Senator Warner stood firmly for what he believed to be the good of the party, the Congress, and the nation as a whole. We did not want a convicted, felon in our Senate. Integrity, conservative thoughtful,, leadership, and vast experience ar? among the many qualities possessed by Senator Warner. He should continue in the service of our country. Pleas®* vote for him on Tuesday, June 11th, in the Republican primary. RODERICK I. SWEET Washington DARE Day Success To the Editor: Extraordinary! Fantastic! Informative! Super! Fun! Incredible! Awesome! Those are just some of the adjectives that were thrown around at Rappahannock County Elementary School on DARE-Field Day, held Friday, May 31. We have had field day each year for some time, but this year the activities were greatly complemented by the addition of a host of exhibits brought to us by the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. The themes of the day revolved around safety and resistance to drugs and violence. The valuable experience for RCES students was made possible through the efforts of Sheriff Gary Settle, Maj. Rick Mac Welch and Capt. Jeff Brown. Other members of the Sheriff’s Department were also on hand Friday to provide enthusiastic and able assistance. i ne aay couidn t nave gone more smoothly, thanks to their careful consideration of our students’ needs and interests, and their thorough planning. On behalf of RCES faculty and stu-i dents, we would like to express our great appreciation to these three off)-! cers and to the rest of their law| enforcement team. We are truly fortu-; nate to have these ladies and gentlemen serving our community. We would also like to thank the local DARE-Field Day participants' (too numberous to mention here) and!

! , By JULIE REARDON I , Times Newspapers Special Writer • A tailgate competition and the Vantage Virginia Cup will be featured a* the season opener of Great Meadow Polo’s Friday Twilight Polo s4rie$, which begins this week. The efeijing games feature polo played ufcdejr the lights at Great Meadow’s stpteNof-the-art outdoor arena as the s^n pets over the mountains of the hunt'eountry. ) ljlow in its fourth season, Great Meadow Polo has become a popular gathering place both for local horsferrfen land Washingtonians. The Friday g&mfcs, which begin at 7:30, afford spectators a ringside view of the fastpfcejj action of arena polo. Tailgate njerriberships, which include reserved parktng and catered dinners in the P|ay*rs’ Tent, are nearly sold out, according to club secretary Judy C8in|er. , * Resident Richard Varge is proud of HIs club’s motto, “Ride For CJiaijty,” and its reputation for supPt>rt^ig local charities including Therapeutic Riding, Piedmont Environmental Council, Boy Scouts of Warrenton and the Northern Virginia dancer Society. Corporate sponsors have'taken note as well, including Washington area Jeep-Eagle, which viill sponsor a team this season. The tailgate theme for this Friday’s opener is “Puttin’ in the Rrt*j” and tailgaters are encouraged in tlwyudged competition. The corporate <tj II sponsor for the June 7 event is The Douglas Group, a locally owned commercial property consulting firm based in The Plains. In addition to tailgate competitions, theme nights are also popular at the Friday series. Horse sport fans can watch their favorite hunter-jumper riders take to the arena for hunterjumper polo June 14. “Jockeys With Mallets” features jump jocks trying their hand at polo July 19; and in August foxhunters can be seen chasing the ball instead of the fox at the “Masters Of The Hunt” night. . Polo in its arena form provides a much smaller and more viewable setting for the fast-pace than grass polo. The Meadow arena is surrounded by a viewing berm that affords spectators a hillside view of the game. “It’s like hockey on horseback,” explained club founding member Peter Arundel. In addition to a core gro\ip of dedicated players, Great Meadow Polo runs a polo school at nearby Willow Run, providing instruction and training for beginner and inexperienced players. The students, some of whom graduate and become playing members at Great Meadow, have their own practices and games. General admission for the Friday night games, which start at 7:30 each Friday through September, is $10 per carload. There are a few reserved tailgate memberships available; for information contact Judy .Olinger at (540) 687-3290.

Supporters Praised at Athletic Banquet By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock Ncwi Contributing Writer Three themes dominated the athletic awards banquet at Rappahannock County High School last week: • The spunk of the athletes who were repeatedly praised for “never giving up,” despite losing seasons; • The donations of money, time and labor that make RCHS’s program possible; • The need for RCHS’s athletes to live up to their status as role models for students following in their footsteps. The 320 banquet attendees were about evenly divided between athletes and their family members. Willie Eastham and Cari Kerr walked away with two of the top prizes of the evening. Willie received the Rappahannock News Athletic Awhrd and Cari received the RCHS Best Athlete award. Both were praised for being “scholar athletes,” a designation given to students who stay on the honor roll while playing sports. By the end of the evening, Willie and Cari — an easily recognized couple at RCHS, with one almost always near the other and both towering gracefully over their fellow students — were sitting with numerous trophies at their feet for their roles in basketball (both) in baseball (him) and in softball (her). The other two top trophies were won by Jason Carter and Jason Brown. Jason Carter received the Neil Burke Memorial Award for consistent effort throughout the year. Jason Carter won the Sportmanship trophy. Jason Carter competed in cross country during the fall, played varsity basketball during the winter and competed in both track and field events ifi the spring. Jason Brown played varsity basketball, serving as point guard for much of the season. A leg injury put him out for the end of the season and threatened to keep him out of the baseball. However, he returned, limping at first and contributed significantly to the baseball team. Sheriff Gary Settle announced that he was donating all the money he had earned for supervising the gym on Sundays, one of his days off, to the RCHS athletic program. The sum was $1,480. Butch Zindel was cited for donating the materials to build the entrance sign for RCHS, and Tom Wolfe was prais.ed for numerous helpful acts, including mounting a huge “Panther Pride” banner in the gym. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Baseball team members listen as Coach Donn Hackney describes the season just past. Shown are Chris Sealock, Adam Bouffard, Jeff Atkins, Eric Smith, Matt Wolfe, Jon Butler, Daniel Digges, A1 Payne, Michael Mills and Tommy Settle. With them is aspiring Panther baseball star Ben Hackney, coach Hackney’s son. In a discussion with Vice-Principal Mike Tupper after the banquet, it became clear that RCHS’s athletic program would not exist without community members making it possible. The softball team’s batting cage was bought by the coach himself, Carl Payne. The baseball team’s playing field was made playable by the donated labor and machinery of Jeff and Charlie Jenkins. Mr. Tupper said he felt deep gratitude to the people who have already given so much of themselves to make RCHS’s athletics possible. “We’re starting three new junior varsity teams next year. We will need all the help from the community that we can get this summer and next year.” Other awards: Girls’ Varsity Basketball: Cari Kerr, Most Valuable Player; Brenda Swinkels, Most Improved Plaiyer.

► Trash From Page A-I said the dumpsters would not be needed if a central trash site is available near the schools. The supervisors heard a report by Beverly Leathers, director of Social Services, on how welfare reform is working in Rappahannock County. She said five people have found full time work and two are working part time while taking classes. “AH in all I think it has been successful,” Mrs. Leathers said. “Transportation hasn’t been the barrier we expected.” She said working to get clients in work “is very labor intensive” and requires a lot of paper work. She added one ciient was assigned to community service at the Child Care and Learning Center, and after two days of that work the client found other full-time work. “What we don’t know, is what happens after two years,” she said. “Will we have families falling apart?” She said the department is also implementing new ways of working with “out of control teenagers.” She said teenagers and their parents can be ordered into the program by the juvenile judge. Parenting classes have helped, she said, but the department will also be using “intensive in-home counseling.” Helen Williams reported on her duties as director of pupil personnel services for the school system. She noted the reports she has to prepare and meetings she has to attend as the administrator responsible for special education, programs for the giftetf^nd talented and federal programs. She said she will also be responsible for bus transportation next year. Mrs. Williams noted that some special education expenses are beyond the control of the school system. Occupational and physical therapy and costs of physicals are two areas that have far exceeded the amounts in the budget, she said. For some grants “we spend as much as the grants bring in, but with budgets for the handicapped we are not in a position to stop when the funds run out.” ► Goals From Page A-l guidance and preparation of students for work. She said similar efforts are being made in the United States led by Mark Tucker, author of “America’s Choice: high skills or low wages? The Report of The Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce” published by the National Center on Education and the Economy, also in 1990. Mr. Tucker’s study calls for a “new educational performance standard” recognized by a “Certificate of Initial Masteiy” to be earned by most students by age 16. This certificate or work towards this certificate would be required to get a work permit. The certificate would also be required for further education, Mrs. Bocchino said. She said this would eventually involve students in private schools and home-schooled children as well as public school students. She showed a "Certificate of Initial Mastery” issued by the state of Oregon which said among other things the recipient could “get along with others.” For students who drop out of school without obtaining the certificate, local youth centers would provide access to alternative education to acquire the certificate as well as job counselling, according to Mr. Tucker’s proposal. “There is no mistaking their intent,” Mrs. Bocchino said. “The government decides what skills are necessary for a particular job. They would monitor everyone. They would control who gets a job and the incentives and punishments for employers who don’t go along.” She said Virginia has applied to the Federal government for funds under the “Schools to Work” program for these purposes. “There goes local control of the curriculum,” she said. “It will involve all students at all schools regardless of their career plans.” As further backing for her claim that these ideas are being adopted nationwide, Mrs. Bocchino showed copies of a letter to Hillary Clinton from Mr. Tucker sent only a few days after President Bill Clinton was elected in November 1992. In the letter Mr. Tucker expressed his “utter delight” with the election results and suggestions for what “Bill should do now about education, training and labor market policy.” She also had copies of a Department of Justice documents prepared for the Health Care Task Force on how to get states to go along with proposals not covered by the U.S. Constitution’s list of responsibilities of the federal government by threatening to withhold federal funds. She said further measures to move forward with such programs are being held up by a strong grass roots campaign opposing a Senate bill and a companion bill in the House of Representatives. The bill “consolidates grants and federal funds for vocational rehabilitation, at risk youth, immigrants into a gigantic block grant to states,” Mrs. Bocchino said. This would lead to schools becoming “one stop career centers,” she said! Mary Breed said proposals for Fairfax involve “dramatically redesigning” the school system, “combining academic, technology and career pathways.” She said this will mean required counselling in kindergarten through 12th grades and computerized data bases with records on each student that will be “available to other government agencies” such as Social Service workers. She said the new plans call for evaluating such “competencies as Understanding Self and Others, Exploring Occupations, Making Decisions, Acquiring Work Skills, and Planning for Life.” She said, this is “dumbing down education with an emphasis on personal attributes.” She said children will be set on certain career paths and not allowed to deviate. For example, Mrs. Breed said a student on a health services career path would not be allowed to take advanced placement physics. She suggested those in the audience “read applications the school systems make to the federal and state governments to see if they are forced to do these things.” Local Republican Party Chairman Walter Longyear asked, “How does Goals 2000 work with this?” Mrs. Bocchino said, “It is part of Schools to Work, nationalizing the system.” John Marocchi said, “Anyone who thinks this will not amount to anything should remember the first income tax was 1 percent of income over $10,000....We are seeing the revolution in the failed Soviet Union start here.” No, They're Not Rappahannock News StafT Photo by Cindy Mahan * • Once cicadas have emerged, their nymphal shells are left behind to hang upside down from leaves.

The women both worked for Woodswomen, Inc., a company in Minnesota that offers womens’ outdoor programs. They were experienced hikers and had backcountry camping permits. Spokesmen from die Park have said they feel this is an isolated incident, but the Park is increasing patrols in the park. The Park is advising visitors to the park: • To hike in groups of two or more • To be sure family or friends are aware of your backcountry itinerary and timetable • To be cautious of strartgers, especially inquisitive ones and not share details of a planned route of camping location • Not to set up backcountry campsites near roads or developed areas. . The last time hikers were killed on the Appalachian Trail was six years ago in Pennsylvania. Park Police, Virginia State Police and the FBI are investigating the homicides. There are no suspects at this time. Officials from the Park ask anyone who saw two females hiking in the Park with a golden retriever/lab mix named Taj between May 24 and June 1, or anyone who may have any other information that may help the investigation, to call the park toll-free at 1-888-856-2467. The dog is being held at the Park’s animal shelter. It was found Saturday in the area where the two women’s bodies were found.

Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan The traditional RCES Field Day was combined with DARE Day last Friday, producing lots of excitement. The front of the elementary school was lined with exhibits and hands on activities brought by various law enforcement agencies and other organizations promoting safety. In the meantime younger children competed in a variety of events in back of the school while fourth through seventh graders held their activities on the field between the school and the School Board Office. Clockwise from top left Mrs. Johnson’s third grade class competes in the team tug-of war; fourth graders Nathan Welch and Patrick Lawrey compete in the two-man tug-of-war; Cara Levick sported a Dr. Seuss hat; everyone wanted a chance to dunk Capt. Jeff Brown, and McGrufT the Crime Dog enchanted the children.

Cicadas Concert Reviewed By CARL COON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Once again, our fair county is being “entertained” by a bug concert. Seventeen trillion cicadas emerged from their larval lairs below the ground last week and started carrying on like mad. Their corpses are all over everywhere by now, but there are still enough of them carrying on, singing a song of life and death and reproduction, all condensed into one piercing keening buzz, to make the whole outdoors sound like it does indoors when the mike has developed feedback. As reported in your favorite journal a week ago, this particular breed of bug emerges once every seventeen years, on the dot, punctual as a Swiss banker. What bugs me about these bugs is the notion that maybe they are better organized than I am for savoring the good things of life to the maximum. You have to deny personality and any significant capacity to enjoy life as far as the individual bug is concerned, but there may be some basis for assuming that individual swarms, if that is how they are organized, equate in some' rough way to individual people in our species. If that is the case, these swarms have it made. They are immortal, and life is one big orgy after another. They emerge, make a prodigious racket, reproduce like mad, disturb the whole neighborhood, and then before anyone can do anything about them, like eat them up or spray them to death, pop! They go underground and sleep it off, hibernating so long that by the time they are ready for .another go, they are not only fully rested up, but the neighbors have forgotten about them and are just as unprepared to cope as the last time around. How does the Calvinist attitude toward life square with that kind of success? These bugs have been dining out and partying since time immemorial and still have paid no bill. Where is retribution? Where is justice? and if they are all going to perdition, when?

Such has been the rarely-spoken but deeply cherished dream of the people who live on this great North American continent. The dream has left its mark on our history. It has encouraged our religious quest. When millions gather in their churches and synagogues each week, they are not simply exercising a freedom they enjoy. They are striving with God’s help to grow spiritually...to become a people ready to meet the challenges and opportunities their land confronts. Let’s worship and pray together.

[ Celebrate Strawberry Season: Make Jam Love strawberries? Wouldn’t you like to treat yourself and your family to that wonderful just-picked flavor all year long? You can — and it’s very easy with the new no-cook method of preparing fruit jams and jellies. The no-cook method means no fancy equipment is necessary. The' fruit is not cooked at all, and you can use non-traditional containers — plastic, as well as glass -— because the finished products are stored in the freezer. Pectin Is the Key . . Pectin is a natural jellying substance found in fresh fruit. As the fruit ripens, the amount of pectin decreases, so commercial pectin is added as a supplement in making jams and jellies. It eliminates the guesswork and helps assure a good “set.” It also makes it possible to use fruits at the peak of their ripeness for, avor. Two FormsOf Pectin ' ' Pectin comes in two forms: powdered and liquid. Some liquid pectin even comes in convenient pre-measured foil pouches or in a bottle. Dry pectins are available in regular and light (lower-calorie) forms. Both come in small boxes. Both work in similar ways. Pectins are not interchangeable. Always use the pectin specified in a -recipe. Tips for No-Cook Jam • Fruit — Use fully ripe fruit at HOME ECONOMICS room' temperature. Wash just before using. Prepare fruit for one recipe at a time, even though you can prepare several recipes in succession. Do not use more fruit than called for in the recipe. Containers — Use 1-pint freezer containers or 8-ounce jelly jars with tight-fitting lids. Wash, rinse with \ boiling water and drain. You can also use an automatic dishwasher with a very hot rinse. The Easy Process — Be sure to use the pectin specified. Do not reduce or increase the sugar in a recipe. The amount specified in a recipe is needed to ensure-^orrect results. / Follow recipes exactly. Do not double recipes. You’ll haye more success by preparing the reape twice. If a food processor is used to chop fruit, use care not to puree the fruit. Measure accurately using measuring spoons, cups and a large 4-cup liquid glass measuring cup to measure fruit.

DAR Members Thanked For Work Completed By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on May 14 at the Culpeper United Methodist Church with the First Vice-Regent, Mrs. Carl D. Longley presiding in the absence of the Regent. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Kenneth Delavigne, Mrs. Randolph T. Dixon and Mrs. Carl D. Longley. In the President General’s message, read by Mrs. Douglas D. Fairfax, Mrs. Kemper thanked all Society members for the work done, largely in the Chapters. She announced that, in October, the DAR Museum will open an exhibit called “Bound for the West” which honors those pioneer women who made the journey. The speaker, introduced by Mrs. Longley, was Mrs. Asa A. Swart, State Chairman of the DAR Speakers Staff Committee, who spoke on “Homesteading in Minnesota”. It was through her own family history — autobiographies, letters, photos, books —; of her own great grandparents that she was able to recreate the life of the homesteaders. These pioneers were a part of one hundred families from England and Wales who emigrated to Minnesota, settling along the Railroad right of way. The original farm of these great grandparents is now part of a national park. The Registrar, Mrs. George W. Bryson, reported that many new supplementals for Revolutionary War ancestors have been approved or are pending. AS DAR Schools Chairman, Mrs. Norman F. Kloker, spoke of the DAR School Pin project. Profits from pins purchased will be distributed evenly amongst all the schools. Mrs. Dale Metzinger, Delegate to Continental Congress held in April, gave her report of events. Two chapter members, Ms. Susan Butler and Mrs. John Cheatwood, served as Pages and Susan was selected to carry the Virginia Flag. As National Chairman of Commemorative Events, Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear, Jr. along with Mrs. Jane Kearns, displayed a banner presented by the Defense Department for the World War II Commemoration which was shown at the State Conference in March in Roanoke. The last meeting of the year will be a Dutch Treat Luncheon at the Public House in Flint Hill at which Mr. Frederick Hart, Artist and Sculptor, will speak. > June According to the Almanack June is expected to have temperatures that will be above average but with precipitation below average.
