New Standards, Tests Worry Teachers By SUSAN MCCARTHY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Teachers across Virginia, including the educators in the Rappahannock County school system, are learning what changes they must make in order - to bring their classrooms in line with * the revised Standards of Learning set by the Virginia State Board of Education. These standards, or SOLs, apply to all grade levels and are set to take effect in the coming school year. The state board time line, supported by Gov. George Allen, also calls for new assessment objectives — both student testing and teacher evaluation — to begin in the Spring of 1997. The state proposes to compel divisions to meet the new standards or face suspension or termination of school employees, loss of funding or the risk of school closure. ‘ Virginia schools have always had Standards of Learning, but this is the first time in 10 years that standards, assessment criteria, and consequences for schools have been reworked. The new objectives will affect math, sci ence, English and social studies/history. The testing and evaluation process is nowhere near complete. So schools know they will have to teach new subjects at new, often earlier, levels, but they do not know how their success or failure will be measured. Raye Tupper, principal of the Rappahannock County Elementary School said the assessment factor was the most difficult portion of the new SOLs. “We have been aware of the SOL changes since November. We have been working ahead to meet these objectives and now we are working out the nuts and bolts. It makes us all a little nervous not knowing what the assessment process will be. Teachers here are taking the changes in curriculum in stride. Our main goal is to make sure kids get what they need to have. But without knowing how we will be evaluated for almost a year....It’s a little frustrating.” According to Andrea Mutterer, director of the Virginia Education See SOLs, Page A-6 BZA Also Turns Down Post Office Three Vacancies Granted By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning appeals turned down an application for a special use permit to construct a new Amissville Post Office on a lot on Route 645 and then granted three variances from setback requirements at last Thursday’s meeting. Appearing in favor of the new post office facility were Tim Tedrick, of DelMarva Construction, which had a contract to purchase a lot on the road, build a post office and lease it to the U.S. Postal Service, and Gary Martin of the postal service. Mr. Martin said the current post office is too small and unsafe. He said locating a new space for the Amissville Post Office is the “top. priority in the Northern Virginia district.” He said all the post office boxes at the current post office are leased and there is no room to add more. The new facility would have more post office boxes, a larger workroom for postal employees and a lobby open 24 hours a day. Mr. Tedrick said the hew building would be five times as big with parking for 20 vehicles for customers and eight parking spaces for postal employees. Mr. Martin said the post office would meet the needs of the Amissville community for the next 30 years and the lease would be for 30 years with the possibility of two fiveyear extensions. BZA Chairman Sid Gottlieb asked if the post office had alternative locations. Mr. Tedrick said there was no “reasonable alternative.” Mr. Martin said, “It isn’t exactly where we wanted to be. We would rather be on a comer lot, but this was the best we could find. It’s more money than we normally pay.” Jennifer Matthews said she would prefer that a post office not be in a residential area. “Post office traffic is considerable,” she said. Mr. Gottlieb asked Mr. Tedrick if he wanted to react to the Planning Commission’s recommendation that the special use permit be denied. Mr. Tedrick asked, “Where do you want it? It can’t go back on the she you have. Where do you stick it?” Mr. Martin said an entrance and ‘ Where do you want it? It can 7 go back on the site you have. ’ — Tim Tedrick exit onto Route 645 would be safer than on the highway. No one else spoke in favor of the location and Mackie Jenkins opposed the application. He said his house on Route 645 would be facing the new post office. He said he had just moved ■ into his house three months ago after “we spent everything we have” to build there. “I understand the need,” he said, “but I don’t want it across from my house.” Neither Mrs. Matthews nor Mr. Gottlieb could make the finding that a post office at that location “will not adversely affect the use of neighboring property” and they voted against the application. The only other member present, Alex Sharp, said he could make the finding, but the application could not go forward with a majority See BZA, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Katzen To Visit Del.

Repeated efforts to keep the graveled driveway in good condition have worn down board members. Erosion and potholes keep the surface very irregular. In addition stone dust from the gravel is tracked into the library, and winter scraping means that every spring the gravel must be reraked back onto the surface and more gravel must be added. At last Thursday’s meeting the board decided to take the matter up at their August meeting. They will again discuss the issue using as a reference a report prepared by vice chairman Frank Warner in March, 1994. In June of that year the board decided to seek out engineering advice to develop bid specification, but that did not happen because there was not enough money left in the building account to pay for paving the driveway and parking lot. That is still a problem, and in the meantime the cost has probably gone up. Earlier estimates were $12,000 to $15,000. There is about $5,000 in library funds that could be used for this purpose. The board will consider special fundraising or perhaps asking the Friends of the Rappahannock Library for help. According to the treasurer’s report the library finished the fiscal year with a $4,354 cash balance. The library has another $185'000 in funds, some invested for future expansion, some supporting the library’s budget and reducing the amount requested from the county, and others in memorial gifts for specific purposes. Librarian David Shaffer reported that the Friends’ book sale raised $2,100 and that the sale of coins donated to the library brought in $117. He also reported the library had received donations of $500 for the summer reading program, a sign language video from the Rappahannock Lions’ Club, and a 12-part video series entitled “Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition” from Richard and Joyce Abell. Seventy-Nine children are enrolled in the summer reading program, he reported. Work is underway in painting the wood trim on the library. Following the advice of the finance committee the board voted to buy $5,000 in five year government bonds with funds from the estate of Ann Phelps Lane. At Long Last: Mrs. Coxe's Opened Monday By CINDY MAHAN Rkppahaonock News Staff Writer Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern in Washington opened quietly and without fanfare at 11 a.m. on Monday. Members of the town’s Architectural Review Board visited the site last Friday and gave their final approval of the building. Lunch was served to a mostly local crowd; everyone seemed anxious to check out the new restaurant and sample the food. The owners of the tavern, Fran and Charlie Eldred, were obviously delighted to finally have their restaurant open, greeting their first customers by taking their photograph and then seating them in the main dining room. An extensive menu was offered, with five appetizers, three soups, a few salads, and several sandwiches and entrees. Appetizer choices included homemade sausages with a spicy fruit chutney and a smoked trout plate served with sweet com chow chow. Com and crab chowder proved to be a popular choice, and the spinach salad with country ham, marinated mushrooms, croutons and parmesan cheese sounded especially tasty. Sandwiches and entree selections are sure to please meat-eaters and vegetarians alike; a vegetable plate of four vegetables can be ordered for a mere $3.95. Seven desserts were on the bill of fare, including a mixed berry cobbler and sweet potato pecan pie. ' Mrs. Eldred said the tavern will be open every day See Tavern, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Stall Photo by Cindy Mah« Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern finally opened Monday for lunch and stayed busy through the day.

The Rappahannock News was unable to get further information from the Sheriff's Office regarding this incident and some unrelated incidents this past week before press time. Carson Johnson of Sperryville Pike reported that his residence had been broken‘into. Major Rick MacWelch said that he has already taken a statement from one juvenile involved in the case and is trying to get a statement from another juvenile. He said the juveniles are also involved in an incident at Shiloh Baptist Church where a brick was thrown through the back window last Thursday, the same day as the breakin at the Johnson residence. Edward Eagar of Route 621 in Woodville reported last Friday that a CD player with speakers, a portable CD player and a small television were missing from his house. It appeared to be a forced entry, said Major Mac Welch, who added that there is a possible suspect in the case. Last Sunday, Charles Gilley from Falmouth, Virginia, reported that he had left his wallet locked in his truck at Rock Mills while he was fishing, and later discovered it missing. ^ PUBLIC AUCTION Saturday, August 3,1996 - 9:30 A.M. _ Ayrshire Fann Dispersal.

RCES Hopes To Repeat Parenting Class By SHARON KILPATRICK Rippahannock New* Staff Writer One thing planned for the elementary school this year is a repeat of the very successful parenting class taught last spring. Principal Raye Tupper said the school hopes to start the class early ' this year, perhaps in mid-September. Teachers Pam Roszak and Amy Saxton taught the class last year. Both agree “Parenting Class” is a misnomer. They say they are not trying to teach parents how to raise their 'It was a great learning experience for both teachers and parents. * — Pam Roszak • children but how to help them do bet. ter in school. Areas covered include ; helping children get organized, motivating them to place importance on their school work and working to modify their misbehavior, but a major emphasis is on reading and • writing and suggestions of activities for parents to do at home that will - improve their children’s school per' formance. Both agreed that the children of those who attended the class benefited from the lessons the parents were learning. Mrs. Roszak said it was also a good way for teachers to explain to parents what they were doing in school with the children and why. “It’s a way to keep parents informed about what’s going on in school as well as how to h£lp the students at home,” she said. “It was a great learning experience for both teachers and parents.” One benefit from the class came from the parents exchanging ideas of what had worked with their children, she added. About eight parents were able to attend most of the sessions. Free babysitting was provided. The class was divided some of the time with Mrs. Roszak working with parents of primary aged children and Ms. Saxton working with parents of children in fourth through seventh grades. Part of her responsibility was explaining, how to help children prepare for the Literacy Passport tests. She said she also gave parents ideas of how to encourage children to combine reading with writing and gave them ideas on activities they could do on summer trips that would help the children get started in the fall. Mrs. Tupper said the idea for the class has been around for years, but the school finally was able to pilot the class last spring. She and the teachers hope more parents will take advantage of the class this year. Lions Picnic, Install Officers By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Lion’s Club annual picnic at the county park is always a major event. It’s a festive celebration of family, fun and fellowship and country-style feasting for all.

RAAC Makes $484 Celebrating July 4 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community made only $484 putting on the Fourth of July celebration for the Town of Washington. An important part of being able to produce this celebration was a fundraising garden party with entertainment by Lorraine Duisit and Tom Espinola hosted by Mayor Stewart Willis and his Eve at Mount Prospect in June. With the nearly $1,260 raised at the party, RAAC was able to take on the expenses of the Fourth of July celebration which included postage and printing to get vendors in, renting tents for vendor stalls, paying for the band Southern Persuasion, providing supper for the 100 members of the Sardell, Minnesota, high school marching band, renting portable toilets arid paying for clean up after the event. The largest source of income from the Fourth came from parking which brought in $4,746, but this was split with the organizations which supplied volunteers to collect the fees.

RAAC was able to take about $1,500 from the parking fees to apply to other expenses. The second major source of income came from vendors, who paid for their Gay Street locations. Net Income from vendors amounted $2,245. Major expenses for the festivities included $2,100 for the musicians, nearly $700 to rent portable toilets and clean up costs. RAAC made about $482 on its own vendor booth for a total gain from both the garden party and 4th of July activities of $2,226. RAAC members are concerned that if the organization continues to put on the town’s celebration, the year will come when bad weather reduces the income to below the level of the outgo. The organization will ask the Town Council to protect it from loss in future years.

By BRUCE A. HUNDLEY Social Security Manager, Culpeper The 1996 Social Security trustees report tells us that the Social Security long-range financial projections are holding steady. As past and current program beneficiaries can attest, Social Security has always met its beneficiary obligations. And it always will. Even with no changes in curfent law, Social Security will be able to continue paying benefits for more than three decades into the future. Specifically, the 1996 atinual report states that the combined OldAge and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance Trust Funds are rapidly accruing reserves and will be able to meet all benefit obligations through 2029. The 2029 date is a year earlier than was reported in last year’s Trustees Report. But that change is due primarily to a technical correction, and the 2029 date is the same “trust fund exhaustion” date that was reported by the trustees in 1994. It is important to note that in 2029, contrary to what many people think, Social Security will not be “broke.” Annual tax revenues will be enough to cover 77 percent of annual expenditures. The fact that the financing situation is now stable does not, of course, alter the fact that some corrective i action will have to be taken in the future. The trustees state in their report that the shortfall must be addressed, but there is “ample time to do so with deliberation and care.” There is no crisis situation. The Social Security trust funds have enough revenue to meet all beneficiary obligations for the next 33 years. There is time to discuss alternative solutions and to devise an approach that has the full support of the American public. Social Security is the most successful domestic program in the nation’s history. It provides protection against the loss of earnings due . to retirement, death, or disability?^ covers about 142 million American workers and pays benefits to more ,than 43 million beneficiaries. Arid it ' represents a financial foundation upon which both older Americans and young families can plan their lives. It has served this country well for 60 years. The trustees urge careful examination and discussion of the Social Security program to ensure that the program will continue to serve all Americans for the next 60 years.

" First Flight 800 went down with all aboard in an explosion that was apparently caused by a bomb or missile. Then a bomb exploded in Centennial Park in Atlanta, one of the few unsecured spots near the 100th modem Olympic Games. The only thing these two events have in common is the attempt on the part of some people or organizations to make sure Americans feel threatened. The attempt was successful. It is tempting to believe that in Rappahannock County we are safe from terrorism. Apart from the obvious fact that citizens from Rappahannock County are airline pilots and flight attendants as well as airline travelers and sports fans, this sense of security is misplaced. Rappahannock County has its fair share of people who feel they have some grievance, those who share with terrorists a feeling that their lives do not make much of a difference unless they make some sort of violent “statement,” those who act out their frustrations under the influence of alcohol or other mood or mind altering drugs. The percentage of people who act on these feelings seems to be increasing here as well as elsewhere. More and more people-seem to be “trigger happy” whether their weapons of choice are guns, automobiles, brass knuckles or their yocal cords. While Rappahannock County itself does not seem to present much of a target for terrorists, random acts of violence can occur here as easily as other places, and Rappahannock citizens can become the targets of terrorists when they leave the county, as many do every day. It has been fascinating to observe through the national media the process of investigating these events and determining how they occurred and perhaps who perpetrated the crimes. The technology for such investigations is amazing.' However, in the long run it is not possible to lock up every person who might commit a violent act. The answer must lie in providing for everyone constructive means for expressing grievances. If everyone does not feel he or she has a stake in civilized society, there are no barriers that will make anyone ultimately safe. Olympics The spirit of Olympic competition cannot be quelled by a bomb. It is possible to wonder why NBC has to turn every event it covers into a mini soap opera when many would prefer to see most as mere sporting events, without losing track of the fact that there is real drama here. Every athlete who competes at the highest international level has dedicated most of his or her recent life to the endeavor. Some are awarded with Olympic medals; most are not. All deserve the respect of those of us who pursue much more sedentary lives. Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan This outbuilding and flood light with corn in the background can be found on Route 1002 in Sperryville. Letters to the Editor Goodbye Rappahannock To the Editor: Some folks said it would never happen. Others said it was inevitable. For us, it happened sooner than We had expected. With mixed emotions, we have decided to sell our Rappahannock home and move lock, stock, and barrel to South Carolina (Hilton Head Island). ' - How could we leave a house we had designed ourselves, and participated in its construction? How could we .leave a home where we had sowed the seed for every blade of grass in the lawn, planted every flower and bush on the grounds, and personally placed every rock in the extensive rock retaining wall? We had Watched the sun rise and the sun set, the spring buds and the fall colors. We had cherished the dozens of species of birds that came to our feeders, and stood silently as deer brought their fawns each spring to browse in our fields and drink in our ponds. We thrilled at the taste of fresh vegetables from our garden each lunch-time during our 24 summers since I retired from the Navy. We delighted in our splendid isolations, safe and secure at the end of our half-mile long driveway. But shovelling snow from that road, scraping gravel, and repairing storm damage were beginning to become chores, as was mowing seven acres of grass on the slopes around our house. Reluctantly, thanks to some prodding from old Father Time, we have decided we could no longer care for our 46 acres, no matter how much we loved them. How can we say goodbye to these hills, these fields, our church, our volunteer activities? How can we leave these things and take up a new lifestyle in a new location, at our ages? More importantly, how could we leave these friends with whom we have laughed and cried for so many years? Some old friends have passed on; children have been bom, and grown to maturity while we watched. It won’t be easy. But we think God has called us for a purpose to Hilton Head, and we can hardly wait to see what He has in store. We’ll cherish these memories, and we hope you’ll come see us, soon, and often. We love you all. HELEN and HOWDY HOLSCHUH Rock Mills Live Healthy To the Editor: As many of yoti know, I was diagnosed with a mini-stroke on July 8. I want to thank everyone for their prayers.

CATHY SMITH Amissville Old Dominion Politics By JOHN GOOLRICK My long years of political reporting convinced me that Virginians in the good old summertime want beaches and sun and picnics and cold beer and water sports. But they most assuredly don’t want politics. Trust me on this one. In the fall I could write incisive descriptions of battles on campaign trails between. Fairfax and Grundy with the expectation that many would then be paying attention. I could also send dispatches from Richmond during winter months when the Virginia General Assembly was hotly debating the big issue of the moment and people would respond. Some even wrote letters to the editor expressing their opinions. But except for those hopelessly hooked junkies who will read anything with the slightest political connection such stories written in the blistering months of July and August are about as welcome as a rainy weekend at the beach. Even so because politicians don’t take the summer off, political reporters have to write stuff that nobody really want to read as the game is played out. Within the past week I’ve seen four or five different stories on the campaign of Democrat Mark Warner for U.S. Senate and potshots taken at the Democrat by Republican incumbent John Warner. I’ve seen articles about fund raising activities or campaigning by three GOP candidates for lieutenant governor in 1997? Does anybody seriously believe that the average Virginian intent on enjoying a long-awaited vacation is going to get excited about an election more than 15 months off for an office that doesn’t mean much unless there is a tie vote in the State Senate? Political pros know very well that few are paying attention to campaign rhetoric in these warm weather months. So like generals preparing their armies for combat, they do those things that the public could care less about but are the foundation upon which elections are won. A good candidate is essential for so many elections are really won by candidates who are unable to connect with the voters. Beyond that, though, if there are two candidates running who are about equal in ability and public appeal, the candidate who is better organized and funded will most often win unless that candidate is running in a district whose voters heavily favor the other party most often, or unless there are special circumstances such as a strong trend toward a particular party of philosophy. In 1994, for example, Democrats seeking election or re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives faced a tidal wave Jhat not the strongest organization or funding could withstand. So forget the skirmishing you might see in the media until after Labor Day. Out there now the candidates for Senate and Congress this fall and those who plan to seek statewide office next year are putting together teams to plot strategy and to test the waters on fund raising ability. Anyone who has ever read military history (read about the Virginia campaigns of the Army of the Potomac some time) knows that winning Generals choose the terrain of their battles wisely and realize that attention to detail is critical since the outcome can often tum on events that seem small at first but loom larger and larger. Most of us who’ve mucked around for a while in the Virginia political process can, in the absence of the kind of factors mentioned earlier, take a look at early reports of a candidate’s campaign team, campaign contributors and key supporters and judge fairly accurately what chance that candidate has on a scale from one to ten. And even in the doldrums of the summer months when politics is the last thing others are thinking of, some of us actually do that sort of thing. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert H. Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own.

They worked on a variety of skills including bunting, picking off a runner caught between the bases, general fielding, hitting, base running and sliding as well as pitching and catching. The coaches were somewhat disappointed in not having more girls for camp, but they decided to go ahead with the camp anyway. “I hoped to have more varsity players,” Coach Hackney said. “But the low number means we are working more intensely and can spend more time with the individual players.” Cecelia Dennis, who will coach the JV softball team this spring, and Emmai £watman, a 1995 RCHS graduate, helped out with camp.

From Page A-l ► SOLS Association, many school systems are upset by the new SOLs because much is required by the state without specif' ic funding support. “The SOL framework is set....Systems are working furiously to change die way they teach and come up with the required equipment. We as teachers need to work in a positive way to meet these goals,” she said. Changes in state requirements generally mean that the school curriculum must change as well, and this can often mean new textbooks. Most schools rotate in new textbooks on a six-year cycle. If new books are required, an expensive new purchase must be made. Mrs. Tupper said that, in fact, new social studies books had to be bought to meet the new civics course requirements for seventh grade. “We are really happy with our math curriculum, but the new social studies requirements are a little tougher. We don’t have all the resources at all grade levels yet. Something which works for sixth graders studying ancient civilizations won’t work for third graders .... We are working with Mrs. Massie [elementary school librarian] and doing the best we can. Our teachers are really gung-ho to get this accomplished.” In order to write up lesson plans within the new framework, teachers are having to spend summer days in class themselves. Teachers must be retrained without additional state aid. Systems already stressed by lack of funding, such as Rappahannock, will feel the biggest pinch. Fortunately, Rappahannock already meets most of the new technology requirements. Mrs. Tupper states, “One area Rapp won’t hav$ a lot of trouble with is technology. We’re in good shape there. Some other systems will have real difficulty because this is a particularly tough area to met due to the expense of computers and software.” The testing required with the new SOLs has stirred up controversy. There are many who feel instructors will feel pressured to “teach to the test” so that students will perform well on evaluations. When asked about this at a First Thursday parents’ group meeting in June, Ms. Mutterer conceded that many teadhers were worried that the SOLs would take away their creative flexibility and place much more emphasis, on rote memorization. Some feel time for such “pull out” activities as music or physical education will be jeopardized so teachers can work in more repetition of SOL material. Mrs. Tupper said she was confident RCES would measure up without cutting into art, music or P.E. programs. “I feel we need more of these programs, not less....I can’t imagine we would cut back. The bottom line is for children to get the education they need. The test is secondary.” Ms. Mutterer pointed out with school accreditation tied to student achievement'measured by testing results, the fear arises that teaching emphasis will switch from low student/teacher ratios and quality instructional materials to memorization and relatively inexpensive techniques such as repetitive worksheets. She urged teachers to find the positives in the situation. “This is the way it is and we need to ask what we need to do this. Don’t panic yet. It is not -just an either/or situation. We can teach to these new standards and provide a creative environment. We can do both.” She also listed steps for parents and community members concerned about the SOLs. “Keep in touch with your child’s educators. Talk directly to their teachers. You can find out what your school needs specifically to meet the equipment or funding requirements which the current state or county budget doesn’t answer. Be diligent about saying something if you think the SOLs are not working and urge adjustments. Support the budget process on the local level and demand funding from the state. You can write the State Board of Education of your state representatives and let them know if you are unhappy with the change in your child’s education.” Mrs. Tupper also urged parents to voice any concerns or questions about the new teaching approaches, but to give the new subjects a chance. She was confident that the elementary school staff would not only be able to handle the changes but maintain a high level of quality as well. “No one has expressed real unhappiness to me about* the different SOLs and the testing. I imagine Concerns are on their minds .... I think it will all work out. We have good people here.” ► BZA From Page A-l of the members present unable to make the first finding. In the first variance application a narrow property in a conservation zone would have been unbuildable without the variance. The property is 137 feet wide, and the zoning ordinance requires 100-foot setbacks on either side. The lots were created before conservation zoning was adopted in the county. Roger Batchelder owned the lot in question and several similar lots in the “Twin Falls” subdivision off Route 629 in the Flint Hill area. Peter and Martha Snyder had a contract to purchase the lot if they could get the variance. Mr. Snyder said they would build a small two-bedroom house on it and rent the house out. Variances are issued when they meet the test that prohibiting them would “unreasonably restrict” the use of the property or “create a hardship approaching confiscation.” All three members had to approve the variance for it to pass, and they did. Next up was a request by M.E. Smith Construction, Inc. for a 12-foot variance from the front setback and a 10-foot variance from the side set-; back. The . 82-acre lot is at the inters section of U.S. 211 and Route 639 near Amissville in an agricultural zone. The variance was required to build because of the location needed for a drainfield. Mr. Smith had a contract to build a house for Nancy and Larry Burgman on the lot if they could get the vari-? ance. Appearing on behalf of the application, in addition to Mr. Smith were Les Malachuk the real estate agent, and John Foster a surveyor. Mike Leake whose property is orj the side with the request for the 10' foot variance objected saying he was concerned about his privacy and the effect on his well. He said he had to drill over 400 feet to get only three gallons per minute. The BZA granted a 25-foot varU ance from the front in order to elimi£ nate any variance from the side adjoining Mr. Leake. The third variance was for George Harrison to build an addition onto -a house in Woodville. The variance was needed because the house was already slightly in violation of setback requirements. Mr. Harrison said he needed to add a hallway to provide privacy for a bedroom and bathroom in the house. ► Tavern From Page A-l except Wednesdays. Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; light fare will be available from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.; dinner will be served from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.; and a light fare menu will again be available from 9 p.m. until closing (Mrs. Eldred said probably at midnight or shortly thereafter). By law, they can remain open until 2 a.m. In keeping with the style of the restored 18th century tavern, the wine list at Mrs. Coxe’s offers only Virginia made wines, but they will offer a port and madeira, both of which cannot be obtained from Virginia wineries. When Mrs. Eldred told wine distributors that she wanted only Virginia wines, they balked at the idea. She decided to visit Virginia wineries herself, and visited 20 to 25 wineries before deciding what to include on the list, and the wineries will deliver right to her doorstep. One wine she “had” to have on the list is “Horton’s Norton,” a wine produced by the Horton vineyard using the Norton grape, a native Virginia grape.' On tap in the Thornton Tavern Room, where the Eldreds’ son Joey is the bartender, is Fred’s Cider which is produced in Sperryville. Also available are several beers and a full selection of mixed beverages. Brunch will be served on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. One item oh the menu which should please a lot of Southerners is grits. The light fare menu will be offered following brunch until 5 p.m., and dinner will be served from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mrs. Eldred said they use all fresh foods. Chris Hogan is the chef; he has also worked in kitchens at Bleu Rock and the Flint Hill Public House. His sous chef is Mike Shotten, who most recently worked at Westfields. They have created a most impressive menu. FIRST FRIDAYS DOWNTOWN “S1ZZLIN" SUMMER SIDEWALK SALES Friday 6 Saturday, August 2 6 3 Some stores will be open until 9 pm Friday.

The concerts cost $3. In a world where bands resist having their music classified into a simple genre, Leftover Salmon has created tfteir own. With the merging of the progressive bluegrass band, Left Hand String Band, and the crazy Cajun music of the Salmon Heads, Leftover Salmon spawned their own category Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass. • From Boulder, Colorado, relying upon grassroots appeal to music lovers everywhere, Leftover Salmon has befriended a solid national fan base. Together you have five adventurous and skilled musicians moving audiences nationwide. The crowd is provided with both challenging music tuned to an art form and comical antics to keep you smiling. This is not music for people who take themselves, the tunes they listen to or the world in general too seriously. These are musicians playing for the pure fun of it, enjoying the moment and sharing it in an unpretentious way. Pholo courtesy of Leftover Salmon Leftover Salmon will offer ‘polyethnic cajun slamgrass’ in Warrenton Saturday. Big Blow and the Bushwackers, innovative performers of celtic/aboriginal/rock music, combine a standard front-line-second-line old time jazz format with creative performances and instrumentation. They originated on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to explore musical possibilities of the didjeridoo, an instrument native to Australia which creates a constant and colorful bass line. They have come up with a striking variety of familiar folk styles in a fresh setting. The Pan Masters from the Trinidad and Tobago Islands bring an evening' of Caribbean sights and sounds. Concert-goers are encouraged to dress in island attire. Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Sandra Anderson won first place and Best in Show for her child's smocked dress and matching hat. Aransas Entertains In Library Program By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Intern Last Wednesday Aransas the storyteller performed at the Rappahannock Library. Aransas described himself as “A poet, a writer, a teacher, a clown,” and many other things. Among his stories was one about how he got started as an entertainer. He told the audience that he had always wanted to be a writer. When he was in his teens he started working on a novel about Russia during World War 111. Aransas soon realized how very little he knew about the subject and stopped working on the book. For the next 15 years he wrote short stories. Only one of these ever got sold however. Then on July 4, 1975, he decided to try telling his stories as opposed to writing them down. “It rained on July 4, 1975,” he remembered. Thus he found himself on the steps of a bank across from UVA inviting passersby to come in out of the rain and listen to his stories. Six people took him up on his offer and he made a total of seven cents that day. But where did the name Aransas come from? According to another story the name came from the Aransas Wildlife Refuge in Texas where he was supposedly found. He said that the sheriff who found him wanted to name him after the place he had come from. “With a little sense of humor I could have been called Wildlife Refuge,” he laughed. Aransas told the group another story about the Wildlife Refuge as well. He talked to them about the Whooping Crane, a gorgeous bird with a seven foot wingspan. The birds travel between Gray’s Mountain Lodge in Canada and the Aransas Wildlife Refuge in Texas. At one point the numbers of these birds were so astronomical that when they flew overhead they completely blocked out the sunlight. Hunters began to shoot them for their feathers though, and by 1937 there were only 17 birds left in the whole world. Conservationists set out to help the birds increase their numbers. This task, however, was not as easy as it would seem since the female only allows one of her eggs to hatch each year. Scientists decided to try giving some of the Whooping Crane eggs to the Sand Hill Crane. This bird, no matter how ugly it looked, loved and nurtured the Whooping Crane and helped it grow up. Scientists began to wonder what would happen to these new cranes when the others flew south for the Winter. Their fears of what could possibly happen were not necessary though for when the birds flew overhead, making their funny noises the other Whooping Cranes followed them. Now the numbers of these birds increase yearly. The program also included several other stories. Closing ceremonies for the children’s Summer Reading Program will be held at two on Saturday.

The familiar lyrics go something like this...“You’ve got to have a dream; if you don't have a dream, how are you gonna make a dream come true?" It is rewarding to dream... to invest in a comfortable lifestyle, while saving the valuable time and energy for our spiritual growth. This assures us a more peaceful earthly existence, and our eternal future as well. Job 36:11 assures us, “If they obey and serve Him [God], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” Concerning true “castles in the air", Revelations 21:18-21 gives us a glimpse of Heaven. “The city was pure gold, clear as glass...adorned with every jewel...each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street pure gold...” Worship God this Sabbath. It’s vour first step on the earthly climb toward heavenly reality...your castle in the air. Sunday 1 John 2:18-29 Monday Psalm 12.

Dwyer Relatives Enjoy 6th Reunion By WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Ninety-one relatives and friends gathered on Saturday, July 20 for the sixth annual Dwyer reunion. Some new faces were among the crowd, while some of our old standbys were absent. We had with us, Mr. Jack Dwyer of Flint Hill, who gave us sotpe interesting facts on his family. Together, Mr. Dwyet and our family are trying to make connections. Knowing our ancestry came from mother Ireland and more particularly County Tipperary and/or County Cork. Our oldest family member present, Nina Dwyer Grimes; our youngest, Dylan Dwyer; Head of family with most generations present, Lorene C. Dwye , and person coming longest distance, Vergie “Toad” Kendall Sisk of Hopewell, Virginia. Our raffle winner were Linda Shoemaker of Winchester, Loraine Dwyer of Culpeper and Mary Bolen Burner of Luray. The family historian presented August According To the Almanack August’s forecast according to the Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack calls for above average temperatures and precipitation that will be below average. Weather Watch: The month opens, hazy, hot, humid (1-5); then fair, very warm (6,7), followed by showers, storms (8,9), but then fair, very warm days (10-13). It’s more showers, storms, though cooler (14,15)^ with a return to fair, pleasant days (16-19). Then more showers, storms (20,21) but fair skies, warm temperatures (2226). Look out for severe storms (2729), with the month ending on a fair, very warm note (30,31). Tornado Watch: Beware of activity of this nature 14,15 and 27-29. Full Moon: The month’s Full , Moon, frequently referred to as the Corn Moon by some, the Sturgeon and even Dog Moon by others, occurs at 1:52 a.m. e.d.t on the 28th. Special Notes: As usual, the Dog Days which began on July 3rd, will end August 11 th. Early in the month one can expect the annual appearance of the heavenly fireworks display of the Perseids. These so-called “shooting stars” at the rate of about one a minute at the height of the showers, are a result of the Earth passing through the tail of the comet Swift-Tuttle. They are usually more frequent during the early morning hours. As the month ends, prepare to enjoy the Labor Day weekend, Labor Day being on Monday, Sept. 2nd. The Garden: Keep after moisturerobbing weeds which also steal valuable nutrients from your vegetables and flowers. A good layer of mulch helps to retain moisture, keeps down weeds and makes the soil cooler during the hot, August days. J.Gruber’s Though For Today’s Living: “In climbing the ladder to success you take one rung at a time.” Donations and Supplies Sought Services to Abused Families, Inc. (SAFE) provides emergency shelter and other services to domestic violence victims and their families in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock counties (PD 9). As the summer heats up, SAFE anticipates their busiest season. Family tensions rise with the increased temperatures, children out of school, and the alcohol consumption of summer. Help from the community is needed to meet these increased needs. Recently Ruth Newman of the Lutheran Brotherhood, Central Virginia Chapter 8919 arranged a donation of food items, paper goods, and diapers totally $400 from the Lutheran Brotherhood home office in Minneapolis. This type of assistance is greatly appreciated since it frees up staff time that would be spent raising funds or purchasing supplies. Individuals or groups who would like to assist SAFE during this busy time may get a current needs list and/or arrange delivery of donations by calling SAFE at 825-8876 or 3498876. Supplies always needed include main dish mixes, diapers, sanitary supplies, cleaning products, clean baby car seats in good repair, silverware and utensils, pots and pans, and new ladies underwear and socks.

Mitchell for helping with the gifts, “Dude” Settle for the P.A. system, and last but certainly not least, Margaret A.
