Old School Building Planned for Seniors Town To Amend Zoning By SHARON KILPATRICK / Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Washington Town Council indicated they are willing to bend over backwards to allow the Senior Nutrition Site to move from Trinity Episcopal Church to the former Washington School owned by William Carrigan. James Russell spoke for clients of the nutrition site at the council’s meeting last Wednesday. He spoke of the amazing physical feats seen on TV during the Olympics and noted the athletes had to qualify to be allowed to compete. “For senior citizens the requirements are as simple as can be,” he said. “You have to accumulate birthdays.” He noted that there has been a search for a permanent site for the nutrition site for some time. With the parish hall at Trinity Episcopal Church used for the nutrition site the seniors have to be moved each fall to make room for arranging dried flowers for the churchwomen’s annual sale. Another problem is that the building is not handicapped accessible and the bathrooms are not on the same floor that is used to serve meals. A further problem is that supplies have to be stored, and projects cannot be left out to be worked on over time. . ■ - ..... ; • --Pi r* He said the old Washington School site Is convenient to the bank, post office, medical center “and God forbid the local jail.” “The senior citizens need to have a place where we can meet and greet, talk and enjoy before we join that last plateau,” Mr. Russell added. , Mayor Stewart Willis said, “I would like to - support you.” He asked Town Attorney Frank ! Reynolds for comments. Mr. Reynolds said the property is zoned rural * residential. He said the council could consider ; amending the zoning ordinance to allow uses like that in rural residential zones or it could add an - amendment to the zoning ordinance similar to > one in the county’s zoning ordinance that allows 1 for “adaptive reuse” of old buildings for such purposes. I Mr. Reynolds said he would recommend the ; adaptive reuse amendment because changing what ; is allowed in rural residential zones would apply ; to many other locations in town. However, he said - in either case a zoning amendment would require < that the town’s Planning Commission meet and ' approve an amendment that would then have to be advertised and adopted following public hearings ; See Seniors, Page A-6 Part-Time Students Approved ■:; By SHARON KILPATRICK * •] Rappahannock News Staff Writer * The School Board approved a new policy last week that will allow parents homeschooling their children to enroll them part time in public •schools, but the children must attend die public schools at least half time. The board has had this policy on . the agenda for several months. In the past some homeschooling parents have approached the board about jgreater cooperation, but the board has turned down most of their requests . because the county could not get state - funding for part-time students. This year the state will provide funds for part-time students provided they attend at least half time, but the issue has been tabled several times, seeking more information. At last Tuesday’s meeting parent Laurie Marshall asked if home schooled youngsters could enroll part time. She said her son wanted to write a novel in his time away from school. Parent Bonnie Lofton said her step-daughter should finish this school year needing only two credits .for graduation, and since she is interested in medicine, there are possibilities for doing work towards that goal out of school. School Superintendent David Gangel said half time would be interpreted as taking four classes at the high school and attending for half the day at the elementary school. Questions were raised about graduation for part-time students, but the issue was left unresolved. Ms. Marshall said she realized if her son wants to continue his education in college, he will have to present non-tradi tional records of'his high school career. The board also adopted a policy on giving medicine to students that will require that parents bring the medicine to school rather dun haying the child bring it on the bus. ' * i * * RCES Principal Raye Tupper said the school was concerned about drugs being passed around on the bus. However, the school will have a supply of common over-the-counter drugs to give children if their parents approve. She said the school nurse would be keeping an inventory of all prescription drugs. Dr. Gangel said there are new concerns that Ritilin, which is prescribed for hyperactive children and those with “attention deficit disorder,” is being abused by children who .

In June there were 221,866 more gallons pumped than billed, and in July that had been reduced to 131,478 even though more! gallons were pumped. She said that was the result of using a new billing system and replacing the water meters with new or rebuilt ones. She said that several bills were significantly higher in July than in June and encouraged people to make sure they do not have leaks and have them repaired if they do. Mayor Stewart Willis said the town could check for leaks if people would notify them.

District Court Docket % S f. :■ • By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappakumock N«w« Staff Writer In General District Court Tuesday Anthony F. Moody was found guilty of two counts of petit larceny and several counts of destruction of private property in connection with a series of incidents that occurred on May 9. Judge James Robeson, substituting for Judge Charles Foley, also found sufficient evidence in a preliminary hearing of felonious assault to have that charge presented to a grand jury. Public defender Brandon Gladstone, representing Mr. Moody, taped most of the case and implied he felt his clients constitutional rights had been violated by the Major Rick ' MacWelch of the county Sheriff’s Office in interrogating Mr. Gladstone’s client while he was in the custody of the Warren County jail. Judge Robeson sentenced Mr. Moody to 180 days in jail on each of the misdemeanor charges. As the first witness for the prosecution, Major MacWelch testified that he first learned of a complaint by Natasha White, who works for the Faith Mountain Company, that someone had vandalized her car while it was in the company’s parking lot and taken a back pack from it. Then he heard that a vehical belonging to RCHS junior Jon Arnold had been vandalized and items taken from it. Next he heard that two pickup trucks and a car had been vandalized at Massie^ Comer. Major MacWelch submitted numerous photographs of the vehicles with their windows smashed in. He learned that the suspect was driving an Isuzu Trooper. That was .located in Page County. A chase followed involving Page County and Warren County deputies that ended in a wreck and Mr. Moody ended up in Warren County jail. Major MacWelch said he interviewed Mr. Moody who first said, “You don’t have anything on me,” and then began confessing after Major MacWelch said there were witnesses. Major MacWelch said Mr. Moody was agitated during the questioning and they were separated by bars. He said he read Mr. Moody his Miranda rights “immediately after he made incriminating statements.” He said Mr. Moody nodded that he understood and waived his rights after hearing the Miranda statement read, and he subsequently made a statement about the incidents. But Mr. Gladstone objected saying Mr. Moody’s statement should not be used since he began talking of the events before being read his rights saying Major Mac Welch took advange of the fact that Mr. Moody was in custody.. Judge Robeson overruled the objection. In his statement, according to Major MacWelch, Mr. Moody admit* ted breaking out the windows of the cars with rocks. Major MacWelch said they were able to recover a wallet and sunglasses that had been taken from Mr. Arnold’s car, and Miss White recovered the backpack from her car that was found in a gas station off Interstate 81. Mr. Gladstone also asked that the charge of driving on a suspended license be dismissed because Mr. Moody had already been tried on that charge in Warren County. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke called as witnesses the owners of four' of the vandalized cars: Miss White, Mr. Arnold, J.C. Welch and Roger Pritchett. Mr. Gladstone did have one success in his representation of Mr. Moody. Mr. Arnold said his parents had paid $75 for the wallet on sale two years ago although it normally sells for $125. He said his grandmother had paid $75 for the sunglasses about one year ago and that there was about $18 in the wallet. Mr. Moody had been charged with grand larceny for taking these itmes from Mr. Arnolds car. Grand larceny means stealing items valued at more than $200. Judge Robeson reduced the . charge to petit larceny since the stolen items would only be worth more than $200 if the two-year old wallet was worth more than was paid for it. Mr. Gladstone was less successful in challenging the charge of destruction of private property for damage done to a car belonging to J.C. Welch. Mr. Welch said his car was a Beretta, while the formal charge was damaging • a Chevrolet. The judge agreed that a Beretta is a Chevrolet. David van de Graaff, who is the visiting teacher for’the public school system and track coach, testified that he was at the school preparing to load his track team into a school bus for an away meet when he heard a noise he thought might be a gun shot. He said he went into the student parking lot and tried to stop-the car driven by Mr. Moody as he was attempting to leave. He said he put his hand up to stop the car but Mr. Moody waved him off and continued driving right at him. He said he jumped out of the way when the car was only a few feet from him and was them concerned about the safety of members of the team loading on the bus as Mr. Moody drove through the area and left school grounds. The charge of felonious assault will be presented to a grand jury as a result of that incident. In another trial Tuesday Scot Zim was found guilty of reckless driving for attempting to pass a school bus that was discharging a passenger. Judge Robeson said he would continue the case until Nov. 19 and allow, Mr. Zim to complete a driver improvement class. If he successfully completes the class and has no further charges, against him the charge will be reduced to improper driving. He was also fined $150. Mr. Zim testified that he saw the bus stopped at an earlier stop and that the flashing lights were working, but at that stop he saw no flashing lights and thought the bus had stopped to let him pass. He said that once he started to pass he saw the student coming around the bus and stopped and waited until the student had crossed the road before continuing to pass the bus. His younger sister, who was a passenger in the car, said she also had seen the flashing lights at the previous bus stop and did not see them when the bus stopped again before her brother tried to pass the bus. Bus driver Eddie Gore said he saw the lights flashing and had the arm with a stop sign out. He said the lights were checked both before and after his bus run that day and that they were working properly.

Volunteers Restore Flint Hill Church By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock Newi Intern If you had the opportunity to help Cn the restoration and reopening of an important part of your past what would you do? • Most of us are never faced with fhis question; however, several Flint Hill citizens recently were. In 1854 Rev. Barnett Grimsley became the first pastor at the Flint Hill Baptist Church. For years the congregation met every Sunday, eventually begining to share a minister with the Washington and Amissville Baptist Churches. Then in 1968 the other two churches decided to become independant. With too small of a congregation to continue on its own, the Flint Hill Baptist Church ended its services. In August 1969 the church ceased to have Sunday School as well. “It was too pretty of a church to see sitting here idle,” one member, Arland Welch, said. So what did she and other members of the previous congregation do? They decided to reopen! On June 11, 1991, the 13 members who were left at that time held a meeting to figure out if they wanted to mmi ► » t * Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan ; Services are being held in the Flint Hill Baptist Church. : Weinbergs Celebrate 40th ' President Bill Clinton and Bob Weinberg, the Democratic Party nominee for Virginia’s 10th District seat in jthe House, of Representatives, shared jari. important date. ■ Monday was the President’s 50th birthday and Bob and Wendy Weinberg’s 40th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Weinberg met at the London School of Economics in 1953, where they ran successfully for student government office together and ■were elected president and secretary respectively. They were married at the chapel of Yale University on Aug. 19, • 1956, where they attended Yale Law school together, as did Bill and Hillary Clinton some years later. * . At a Bill Clinton birthday celebration at the Tyson’s Comer Sheraton premier hotel last Sunday, Mr. Weinberg said, “Tomorrow will be a yery auspicious day for Democrats.

They decided that they would and are currently renting it out. Two years later in 1993, the power was turned back on in the church and the restoration process began. In order to get the money they needed to do this the members sent out letters to people in Flint Hill and Huntly as well as to the families of the congregation. “Everybody responded really well,” another member, Mary Blaisdale, commented. The congregation was especially pleased with one contribution that was sent in, a money order for $5. “That $5 did my heart more good than $100,” Mrs. Blaisdale said. Mrs. Welch agreed “We’ve gotten many generous gifts, but one that really gets close to the heart is that one.” Several of the donations were specifically for the windows. These double plated stain glass windows are said to be of Tiffany, a type of window which is no longer made. However more was needed then just money. They also needed to select church officers. Jim Massie and William Lee were chosen as Deacons. The Board of Trustees, who are in charge of all legal matters, are Louis Moore Jr., Dorothy Ann Moore, Arland Welch and Robert E. Moore. Mrs. Blaisdale is also secretary and acting clerk. The church’s secretary is Mary Latham. “We were sitting out there in front on the steps when we appointed that group of people,” Mrs. Blaisdale remembered. The severely mildewed building had to be cleaned as well. This was done by four women. One of them, Mrs. Welch, described the scene as an “advertisement for Murphy’s oil soap.” Then this May 19 the group opened their doors to a congregation of 175 people. That day is, according to Mrs. Blaisdale, Mrs. Welch, and her sister Garland Sealock, one of their fondest recent memories of the Stained glass windows were carefully restored. church. Mrs. Welch added other memories to the list. ,“I was Baptized in' the church and grew up in the church. My fondest memory would have to be just coming to this beautiful church.” They hope that others will have the opportunity to form such memories. Thus they are holding services once a month. Mrs. Welch is certain that this will not take away from any other local churches. She says that they are trying to hold services at times which are different from those of other congregations. “We just have oodles of people that don’t go to church” in the Flint Hill area. The next service will be Home Coming on October 13. Rev. John Divers, who preached there from 1955-1960, will deliver the sermon. 'Asphalt Gypsies' Out Again By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke warned that the “asphalt gypsies” are out again preying on the elderly. Typically such people tell a homeowner they have leftover asphalt from another job and can give the homeowner a good deal on a new driveway. “Usually it’s not a good deal, and they don’t do a good job,” Mr. Luke said. He said sometimes they can be rather intimidating, particularly to the elderly. Several items were stolen in areas of the county this week, but in one instance something was left for someone.

They also agreed to see if it will be possible to have cross walks at both ends connecting the new tank with the current plant instead of a ladder that would require the plant operator to go up and down steps to get from the new tank to the rest of the plant. The accepted bid was not the lowest, but it was the lowest that met all the requirements of the request for proposals. One of the lower bidders left out required engineering drawings. Another was not delivered to the place where the bids were opened. At last Thursday’s meeting member Carson Johnson reported that the WSA had not yet received the $2,000 from John Shipman that he agreed to pay to keep the WSA from forcing a foreclosure on his property in Sperryville. The WSA savings account has $28,100 remaining after a $15,000 withdrawal to pay the county for plant operators. Mr. Johnson explained that account had $60,000 after plant construction was finished. The money was the result of investing a loan the authority received in anticipation of grants of $2.5 million. The account was used to pay for the chlorination system that was required after the plant was built. It was also used to pay fines imposed by the Department of Environmental Quality when the plant was found in violation of its permit some years ago. WSA members have been trying unsuccessfully to build that fund up so it will be available when major parts of the plant wear out and have to be replaced. Mr. Johnson said the savings account will be repaid for the money paid to the county whenever the checking account has enough money to do that. After disposing of the bid for materials for the surge basin project, WSA members agreed to see if they can move ahead with awarding a contract to construct a concrete pad for the new basin soon so the concrete work can be done before cold weather begins. Plant operator Donna Chabot asked members to include funds to replace the lawn mower and flow meter in the new budget. She said the lawn mower was definitely in its last season and the flow meter is giving problems. The WSA is operating without a budget for the current year. Mr. Johnson told Ms. Chabot, “I don’t know where the budget stands. The chairman hasn’t been here for the last couple of meetings. He said he would work up a budget.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS. Call 67S3338. ^ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South, Culpeper iv 825*1037 ABEBmri . ' BARNS .

For years the Community Services Board has had a nutrition site for county senior citizens that meets three days a week in the parish hall at Trinity Episcopal Church. This site has several drawbacks including a lack of handicapped access, especially for the bathrooms, and the fact that the annual Dried Flower Sale put on by the churchwomen drives the nutrition site out of these quarters every year for seven weeks. However, from the ,point of view of several members of the group, the main drawback is that the parish hall has many other uses, and very little can be stored there. The result is that any time the seniors embark on a project that will last several days, everything must be packed up at the end of each day and carried out of the building. Now the group of citizens believes it has found the site it needs. The old Washington School building at the end of Mount Salem Avenue is mostly vacant after serving for several years as the home of Spring Mountain School. The owner, William Carrigan, is appar. ently willing to have one room of the building used as the nutrition site, and the volunteer citizen group is eager to do what can be dope tp ensure that the building is readied and the rent and utilities can be paid. This effort deserves widespread support from the rest of the community. Back to School A lot has gone on over the summer to prepare the county’s two public schools for the start of the school year on Monday. The elementary school has a new roof over the gym and cafeteria. The high school is close to having two new computer labs. Air conditioning will soon be available in the high school auditorium and new parking lot lights will soon be installed in the back parking lot at the high school. f Members of the school administration and School Board are grateful to the Board of Supervisors for returning unspent 1995-96 funds to the schools to be used for these purposes. There have been numerous smaller maintenance projects overseen by Superintendent David Gangel. That has left the job of finding new teachers and getting them under contract primarily up to assistant superintendent Mary Ann Biggs. She has had quite a challenge as former teachers asked to be released from their contracts eiven with less than one month to go. I The group of new teachers assembled last week is indeed impressive, and particularly welcome is the sight of some of the best of the county’s former teachers returning to the classroom. ’■ With new Standards of Learning, a new elementary school reading program and the new block schedule at the high school, 1996-97 promises to be an exciting year.

L Supporters Thanked To the Editor: I would like to take advantage of this forum to express my gratitude to a number of people: First, many, many thanks to everyone who helped make Saturday’s Gymkhana a great success and benefit to the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire .Company. Thank you specifically to David and Dudley Semmes for the use of their beautiful Indian Run Farm and for their wonderful tent; to Julia Bennett for doing a little bit of everything; to Bill and Jeanne Jarrett for so kindly volunteering; to Frank Huff for manning the mike; to our wonderful judges, Nellie Bossett and Klara Kummli; to Prairie for a momentous job handling the paperwork; to Ann Pankow for donating many prizes and for continuously supporting all of the fire company’s equestrian endeavors; and to Settle’s Grocery for providing great sandwiches on short notice. Thanks, too, to all the participants who got into the spirit of the games and made it such a fun and safe day. On a less happy note, I would also like to thank everyone who stopped to help when my small white . pony got into trouble. Thanks specif-; . ically to John Critzer for literally sit-; ting with Fatima; to my neighbors • Bob and Sue Lane and Bryant Lee; and to the wonderful man (whose name I’ve unfortunately forgotten), who not only cared enough to stop and inform me of the problem in the _ first place, but also took his valuable 3 „ time to help me resolve it. It was an ; - unfortunate way to have this driven home, but it is wonderful to live in a small rural community where people . really do care about their neighbors.! • 1 SHERRY HAMILL-HUFFI * - Flint Hill; 1 m - Old Dominion Politics • '+ V \ , rv; ■ ■ ' • -■ • , . : ■ ".-...—..... By JOHN GOOLRICK Jay Katzen has an old fashioned “shoe leather” approach to seeking the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor against opponents who will be better financed. Katzen, a member of the House of Delegates, is criss-crossing the state in a 1984 Oldsmobile that already has more than 300,000 miles on it. Though GOP opponents T. Coleman Andrews Jr. and John Hager have raised more money, Katzen’s strategy is to visit with as many prospective voters as possible prior to the June 1997 Republican primary election. Though considered a longshot, Katzen’s chances were probably markedly improved with the party almost certain to nominate its statewide ticket next year by primary. The strategy of the Coleman and Hager , camps seemed to be focused until recently on a convention. Now that strategy has been all but obliterated and that gives Katzen a boost as he attempts to make up in mileage and personal contact what he may lack in money. Katzen, who turns 60 August 23, is a strong conservative and just as importantly enjoys what many politicians don’t like about their trade, namely the arduous business of knocking doors and meeting thousands of people. Elected in 1993 with the George Allen landslide, Katzen has backed the Governor’s tough anti-crime package and his other major initiatives and agrees with his refusal to accept Goals 2000 money. He plans to introduce legislation in 1997 that would allow state parties to register members and set stan dards for participation in primary elections. Though some pundits downplay Katzen’s chances of second place on the GOP ticket, a primary can certainly give him an outside chance of victory since next year’s primary may be influenced more by hard-rock party faithful than this year’s. Though Andrews is regarded by most as the favorite and is the fundraising leader, he could have the “Jim Miller problem.” That is, while he may talk about such issues as welfare reform and gun rights, his prevailing hard1 to escape image is that of someone who down deep puts economic issues far above anything else. Hager’s tobacco company associations are a mixed blessing at best, and he is a very pleasant person but, per haps, not the hard charger who might do best head to head against probable Democratic nominee L.F. Payne who ; will be tough to beat. I should disclose that these musings resulted from a recent lunch with Katzen and David Johnson, former ■ GOP state executive director who is . now a Katzen operative. Neither have 1 talked directly with any Andrews or . Hager people before writing this column. Katzen realizes the uphill nature of • his quest, but remains confident that - campaigrting long and hard in the trenches instead of behind the lines will pay dividends. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own. Community Support Improves Schools By RICHARD W. RILEY L.S. Secretary of Education Now that kids are going back to school, it’s a good time to ask: Where do you have to live to find good schools? Do you have to live in a wealthy suburb? Do you have to head for the big cities? Should you go to a university town? The answer is good schools can be found anywhere in America. You can find them in the inner-city, in the suburbs, and in rural towns. That’s what Money magazine discovered when it went looking for America’s 100 best school districts. The results of the search can be found in the January 1996 issue of the magazine, and it’s an article that every parent, educator, and citizen who cares about education should read. “Money isn’t everything,” declared Money. The districts that made the list enjoyed widespread community support and a high degree of parental involvement, and many were in areas where the average home cost less than the U.S. median. The fact that good school can be found anywhere — so long as parents and communities are willing to work for them — is good news for every citizen. We all have a stake in quality' education, even those of us who don’t have children in school. Strong schools build strong communities, and we all want that. Because parental and community involvement are so important to education, the U.S. Department of Education and the national Partnership for Family Involvement in Education are launching an important initiative to coincide with back-to-school time. It’s called “America Goes Back to School: Get Involved!” This is the second year for this initiative, and I would like to invite you and every citizen to participate. “America Goes Back to School: Get Involved!,” asks parents, grandparents, neighbors, educators, students, and all community members to work together to achieve-these goals: making schools safer, more disciplined, and drug-free; putting computers into classrooms; improving reading; making sure academic standards are high; preparing young people for careers; and making college more accessible. A free kit is available that offers lots of good ideas for achieving these goals in your community. Many of these ideas have succeeded in help ing communities like yours to improve their schools. Just call the U.S. Department of Education at (800) USA-LEARN and ask for the “America Goes Bake to School” activities kit. Until it arrives in your mailbox, here are a few tips to get you started. Parents: You can make the biggest difference in your children’s education. Research shows that when parents are involved in helping their children learn, good things happen. Children get better grades, behave better in class, and are more likely to go to college. So here’s what parents can do: Volunteer for school activities and stay in regular touch with teachers. Read to your very young children, and share books with your older children. Limit TV to no more than two hours on a school night. And talk with your youngsters about the values you want them to have and about the dangers of drugs, alcohol', and tobacco. Employers: Remember that quality education is critical to producing a quality workforce. Many businesses offer leave and/or flex-time to their employees to allow them to volunteer in schools and to give parents the time to participate in their children’s school activities. These “familyfriendly” businesses have been rewarded with higher worker productivity. Business people can also provide work-study opportunities and internships and apprenticeships for students, and help define the skills, knowledge, and work habits needed for success in today’s challenging workplace. Community members: If you’re in a community, cultural, religious, law enforcement, or other neighborhood group or organization, you can make a big difference, too. Work with the schools to offer after-school and summer enrichment programs and homework centers. Become tutors or ' mentors. Help with adult literacy efforts. Establish computer labs in neighborhood centers. Create safe corridors for children going to school. And encourage your local paper to report positive stories about young people. Schools: Schoofs can’t do the job alone these days, and teachers and principals should reach out and make ; parents and community members their partners. Educators can use the phone, newsletters, home visits, and E-mail to keep parents informed and part of the education team. They can take advantage of community learning resources. They can meet with parents at the beginning of the school year to agree on goals and responsibilities. Most important, they can make parents feel welcome in the school and include them in decision-making. Southern Illinois University ; President Ted Sanders has summed it all up best: “If schools are operating at maximum efficiency, they are responsible for about 40 to 50 percent of what a child learns. The other 50 to 60 percent of learning comes from the family and the community.” President Sanders is one of the four co-chairs of “America Goes Back to School: Get Involved!” The others are Tipper Gore, the wife of Vice President A1 Gore; Joan- Dykstra, the president of the National PTA; and Bo Jackson, the actor, businessman, and 1985 Heisman Trophy winner for his great accomplishments in college football. We’re proud to have them. We’re’ also proud to have the many thousandsof citizens who have already joined us. And we’ll be proud to have you, too, and everyone in your community. Join us and help build a better future for ' our students, our families, and for all of America.

Drew Larose, 11, of Remington, Tommy Hensley, 12, of Rappahannock County, and Rodney Woodward, 10, of Marshall had had four previous lessons in two weeks. The competition involved shooting at 20 targets, 10 spot targets (regular bull’s eye targets mounted on hay bales) and 10 3-D targets (foam animals). They boys started out shooting at a foam squirrel and foam groundhog. The squirrel got the worst of it as some hit it when they were supposed to shoot at the groundhog. They next moved on to a series of spot targets having some success as they tried to figure out how far they were from the targets so they would know how high to aim. “You have to try to figure out how far the distance is to put it down or take it up,” Mr. Lewin advised. Varsity Gets In Shape By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News StafT Writer Coach' Laura Conklin is trying to get her varsity girls’ basketball team ready for the start of the season. She has 10 girls out for the team, and, she has plenty of experience on the squad. Seven are seniors, two juniors and one a freshman. Freshman Sonya Wiggington and juniors Julie Atkins and Tiffany Keys will be blended into a team of seniors, Dawn Havstad, Kylene Wolfe, Sarah Gentry, Angie Atkins, Nerissa Roberts, Jennifer Woodward and Tracey Thomas. Coach Conklin said her main problem last year was the lack of a true point guard. Angie was asked to play the position but she was “frustrated a lot” in that spot Coach Conklin said. “Sonya helps us out in that area. She has a lot of potential and a lot of skills that just need to be developed,’ she said. She is not yet prepared to say that Sonya Wiggington will start at poinl guard, but it appears likely. Coach Conklin acknowledges she has a lot of experienced guards with forwards Sarah Gentry, Dawn Havstad and Jennifer Woodward. “With sc many guards and only a couple of big people we will have a motion offense with just one in the middle, most often Dawn,” she said. She said in terms of basketball skills this year’s varsity is starting ahead of last year’s. “The main thing I’m concerned about now is getting them in shape. They lived pretty comfortably over the summer,” Coach Conklin said. He said his teaching method was to heap praise on the boys, and that seemed to be successful, as their shooting became more and more accurate. , They had chances at foam raccoons, turkeys, deer, bear and even a cougar. Some arrows were lost, but most at least found the target. The spot targets counted 5, 4X 3, 2, or 1 point depending on which ring (if any) was hit. For the foam animals, an arrow anywhere on the animal counted 5 points. One in the target area counted 8 points, and one in the designated “heart” circle counted 10 points. A perfect score was 150 points. • All the spot targets were in plain sight, but some of the foam aiiimals were hidden in the woods, but finding them was not supposed to be the challenge. There were wooden stakes pounded into the ground to indicate where the shooter was supposed to stand for the shot. By shortly after 2 p.m. the competition was winding down. Drew won the youth division with a score of 78. Rodney and Tommy tied at 69 each. The one-person pro class was won by Darren Daymude of Martinsburg, W.V., with a score of 131. Bryan Young of Winchester won the men’s finger class with 105. Mary Daymude of Martinsburg won the one-entry ladies competition with a score of 132. Jeff Myers of Front Royal won the Men’s release competition (the largest class of the day) with a score of 142. And Kyle Riley of Catlett won the one-entry Pee Wee competition with a score of 56. Mr. Lewin hopes more boys will join the archery club and learn to shoot. For information call the Trading Post at 675-1953 and ask for Clif or Ken. Drew and Rodney are planning on going hunting with Mr. Lewin during the archery season and putting what they have learned to a real test.

► Seniors From Page A-l by both the Planning Commission and me Town Council. He said all of that would take some time. Those working on finding an alternative site said the nutrition site must move from Trinity the first weekend in September, and they hoped to find a permanent home before the move. Each year the nutrition site has moved to the Washington Baptist Church when the Trinity Parish Hall is filled with the dried flower operation. Mr. Reynolds said with no changes in the zoning ordinance, if they could consider the nutrition site an activity of a house of worship it would be allowed. The council had also previously approved the property's use as a school for Spring Mountain, and he said an educational use would clearly be allowed. Mitzie Young suggested the council consider the site a school for seniors. Treasurer Louise van Dort noted that the Child Care and Learning Center is using the building now and said CCLC could work with the agency to include the nutrition site. The council agreed that also the Planning Commission and Town Council will begin the process of amending the zoning ordinance to allow for adaptive reuse of the building. In a telephone interview Brian Duncan executive director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board said there are problems that have to be resolved before the nutrition site can be moved to the former Washington School. He said there is not yet a signed lease and there are problems of handicapped access there as well. He sa'id fundraising will also have to be done to show that the concept of having a space that is the seniors’ own but costs more can be successful. He said the agency has arranged to move the nutrition site into the Washington Baptist Church, and can extend its stay there. He said he does not expect the nutrition site to return to Trinity once it leaves because of the lack of handicapped access. He also said, “I’m not driving this RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY SCHOOLS today announced its policy for providing free and reduced price meats for children served under the National School Lunch, and/or Breakfast Program. Each School and/or central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The household size and income criteria identified below will be used to determine eligibility for free and reduced price meal benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Children who are members of food stamp households or receive Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) assistance units are automatically eligible for free meals. Foster children who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court also may be eligible for benefits regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside. Eligibility for the foster child is based on the child's income.

Applications may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For school officials to determine eligibility for free and reduced price benefits, households receiving food stamps or AFDC only have to list their child's name, and food stamp or AFDC case number, and an adult household member must sign the application. Households who do not list a food stamp or AFDC case number must list the names Of all household members, the amount and source of the income. received by each household member, and the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. If the household member does not have a social security number, the household member must indicate that a social security number is not available. The appication must be signed by an adult household member. Under the previsions of the free and reduced price meal policy, Judith N. Burke, Food Service Director, will review applications and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the ruling of toe official may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. Parents wishing to make a formal appeal for a hearing on toe decision may make a request either orally or in writing to Dr. David Gangel, Superintendent. Households that list a food stamp or AFDC case number must report when the household no longer receives these benefits. Other households approved tor benefits based on income information must report increases in household income of over $50 per month or $600 per year and decreases in household size. Also, H a household member, becomes unemployed or if the household size increases, the household should contact the school. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for benefits if the household's income falls at or below toe levels shownabovs. School Drinsions that use direct certification should add the blowing paragraph with appropriate changes: Households that receive food stamps or AFDC do not have to complete a school lunch or breakfast application.

Michael Soule, who works for the Community Services Board and lives in Rappahannock County, has been one of the ones involved along with Mr. Russell, Bemie Price, Ruth Kiger and Hunt Harris. He said they are planning on using one room in the old school that has a washroom and toilets nearby. He said there is a new furnace in the old Washington School that will be satisfactory, but windows will have to be replaced or repaired. Also a ramp will have to be built from the parking lot to the front porch and the railings around the porch replaced. He said there has been a lot of volunteer assistance offered, but fundraising will be necessary also. The nutrition site has been making a payment to Trinity towards the church’s utility bills. The rent at the Washington School will be identical to that amount, but money will also have to be raised to pay utility bills at the old school building. Mr. Soule said the local group must raise funds to convince the . Community Services Board it Will be possible, but once the seniors have their own space, there are many more possibilities for fundraising to continue the program. ► Schools From Page A-l have not had it prescribed in some areas. “We don’t want that situation to arise here,” he said. Jackson District representative Ron Makela said this would be too great an inconvenience to some parents who leave the county to work before school opens and return after it closes or who don’t drive. He asked if parents could give the medicine to the school bus driver who would pass it to a school administrator. Chairman John Tole said, “I believe some of Mr. Makela's concerns could be handled with guidelines once we accept the policy.” The board voted 3 to 1 to accept the new policy with Mr. Makela voting “No.” When the board took up the Literacy Passport Test results, Dr. Gangel said, “I’m unhappy and concerned with the ‘96 scores.” He noted that the purpose of the tests is tb guarantee that those entering high school are prepared and that students can retake the tests until they pass. He said .no one in Rappahannock had ever been prevented from graduating because of the tests, but the state puts primary emphasis on the percentage that pass all three tests the first time they are taken in sixth grade. “I am not satisfied. I don’t like the situation." He said he would like to set as a goal having 80 percent pass all three tests in sixth grade. Piedmont District representative Dennis Wingfield noted that the school system is more than 20 points behind the state in the percentage that passed all three tests. "This is a big gap. Somebody should be able to say what we were not doing in ‘96 that we were doing in 93 to make a difference.” (In 1993 82.6 percent of Rappahannock sixth graders passed all three tests. In 1996 only 47.3 percent did.) Dr. Tole said, “In my opinion the problems that existed at RCES have been corrected. It developed over time, and it will take time to fix ... My suspicions are we will do better in the future.” Mr. Makela said he had heard from people who want to know that something will be done to correct the situation and suggested forming a committee of parents, teachers and board members “to look at everything involved: the test itself, communication with parents and children and make sure everything is done to the best of our ability. I hesitate to say just give it time and see what happens.” “I’m not asking you to just give it time,” Dr. Gangel said. “We need to get back to basics. I will guarantee we will improve.” “I’m in favor of that,” Mr. Makela said. “When someone asks why did this happen, I can’t give them an answer. I’ve got people that want to know what happened.” “I’m not sure we can ever get to the point where we can say, ‘This is what happened,’” Dr. Gangel said. “Give us to the next board meeting to come back with steps we are going to take.” Jackson District representative on the Board of Supervisors Ron Frazier said he had asked to speak on the subject of the test scores but not in any official capacity. He blamed the poor results on the whole language pro-! gram. “I have been a harsh critic of the school system. I was told it was a perception problem. I don’t know of any home school or private school using whole language texts.” Helen Williams, director of pupil personnel, reported that 1,411 youngsters had been counted in the census of school aged population over the spring and summer with two days to go before the report is turned in. This compared to 1,600 counted in 1992, but Mrs. Williams reported that in 1992 children ages one through 19. were counted, and in 1996 only those ages five through 19 were counted. If the 295 one through four-year olds are removed from the 1992 count leaving 1,305, there is an increase in the 1996 census. By Thursday when the report was turned in to Richmond the actual 1996 count had increased to 1,443. ► Council ' ■.

She said the town water works could not afford to simply discount for leaks. “We do intend to be more accommodating than the big utility system, but we are accountable to the ones who gave us the grants and loans for the system. The water system has to pay for itself,” she said. Ms. van Dort asked for approval to replace ,the town tractor and purchase a snow blade. The current tractor can no longer do what the town needs. The council voted unanimously to purchase the new tractor The council also approved spending $105 for a new sign for the Town Hall and $1,100 to have a historical marker placed on U.S. 211 near the library similar to the one on Business. 211 coming into town from Sperryville. Charles Eldred reported that the new street lights are being installed. Member Ray Gooch thanked Mr. Eldred for his work in getting this done. “One person Stood up in a solitary position in favor of this historic fixture.” Mr. Gooch said when he got to town last Friday night he noticed the difference right away and took a walk down Gay Street. “Charlie delivered on every promise he made to us. There is no pollution of the sky, the lighting is directed down. It is a very attractive fixture. We successfully persevered thanks to Charlie Eldred.” Mr. Eldred thanked Mr. Gooch and s’aid it was also thanks to the council making the correct decisions as appropriate points and being willing to pay for the fixtures. “I am pleased with the appearance. They look like what we’ve always seen, so we tend to ignore them. That is the way it should be.” — By SHARON KILPATRICK ► Wreck From Page A-l According to State Trooper Mike Woodard, who investigated the accident, both cars, one a 1983 Buick Regal and the other a 1986 Toyota Corolla, were travelling between 35 and 40 mph when they met on a hill crest in the narrow gravel road. He said that speed and inexperience in driving on that road contributed to the accident. He feels that the maximum safe speed for that stretch of road is 25 mph. The most seriously injured of the seven, both 17 year-old boys, remained hospitalized in UVA Hospital in Charlottesville on Monday. Both had been the back seat passengers in the Toyota, wearing lap belts, and they suffered severe back injuries. One lives in Washington and has a compression fracture of the fifth lumbar vertebrae, a fractured pelvis and facial lacerations. The other boy, who was visiting from out of town, has a' compression fracture of the third lumbar vertebrae, a broken jaw, facial lacerations, and he also lost several teeth. The boy from Washington is expected to return home later this week, but wilt be in a plastic body cast and confined to a hospital bed at home for at least four weeks. His father said that the cast will keep him immobilized except for being able to move one leg and his arms. The front seat passenger from that car, a 15 year-old boy from Castleton, was uninjured except for a bruise from the seat belt he was wearing. The 16 year-old driver, who also lives in Castleton, was not wearing his. seat belt and suffered injuries which landed him in Culpeper Hospital until Saturday. He had knee surgery to • repair a tendon, a laceration on his other leg which required stitches, and several cuts on his face: He is not sure if he will be able to attend the first day of school on Monday. The driver of the Buick, a 16 yearold girl from Castleton, was charged by Trooper Woodard with reckless driving. She had on a seat belt but suffered a broken nose, broken sternum, a . sprained ankle and said something'is also wrong with her knee. Following the accident, she somehow ran to her house down the road to tell her mother of the accident. She returned with her mother who tended to the teenagers until rescue squads arrived. Two others were riding in the front seat: Barrett Dokis, an 18 year-old from Canada who was not seriously injured, and a 16 year-old Washington girl, who was not wearing a seat belt and sustained a broken wrist, broken ► Teachers From Page A-l exploratory program for eighth graders will involve thfe students having nine weeks of French language, nine weeks of computer instruction, nine weeks of art and nine weeks of exploring technology. • * .%’■ * Sf Instead of a part-time French teacher, the high school has a parttime position replacing home economics.

Another serious accident, which took place on Route 643 in Amissville at about 7:10 p.m. that same evening, left a 16 year-old boy with a broken spine. According to Trooper Woodard, the boy rode his 18-speed Huffy bicycle out of a private driveway and ran into the right front fender of a 1987 Volkswagen driven by John Franklin Ohlinger, 45, of Warrenton. The boy hit the windshield and was thrown to* the ground, breaking his spine and' bruising his brain. He was taken to1 Fauquier Hospital and then flown to Fairfax Hospital.

He said the classes will not be primarily for students with behavior problems but instead will be for students who are failing one or more] classes with the idea of getting them ready to move back into the regular classes and perform successfully. He said the first week or two he will be keeping his eye on students with poor attendance working to identify those who may need his services as the school year progresses.

The workshop at Shimmering Meadows Farm in Slate Mills, Sept. 68, is designed to teach the fundamentals of landscape painting. Emphasis on color and design will be stressed. A master at demonstrating approach and technique, Mr. Francis will take the student step by step through the process from composition and drawing in to learning to see and use paint color to bring the painting to life. He will reinforce his painting principles through the process of individual instruction and critique. The workshop is open to all levels of painting; however, familiarity witf^ the medium is required. Mr. Francis studied at The Corcoran School of Art; received his B.F.A. from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Md. and his M.F.A. from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He participated in advanced art studies at American University and independent study in Europe and Mexico. He has been a professional artist for over 24 years and has been instructing students in fine art classes and workshops for over 18 years. Currently he is a professorial lecturer in Fine Arts at George Washington University-and teaches landscape painting at The Art League School. The list of awards Mr. Francis has garnered are numerous and impressive and include the coveted Virginia Prize for Painting awarded in 1987. He is represented by and held individual shows at such notable galleries as Gallery K in Washington, D.C., and has participated in a multitude of outstanding group shows. His work has been favorably reviewed numerous times by The Washington Post and in such 'notable publications as the New Art Examiner, Museum and Arts, and Washington Magazine. Shimmering Meadows Farm, located in the Virginia foothills, provides a variety of private landscape settings with rolling meadows and vistas of the Hazel River as it meanders through the terrain and between the farm’s trees.

Windmore's Auditions Set There is more than one gun. There are several guilty people and four people in show business. First, there is Hamilton, a film director/producer driven towards dollars and success. Then there is Barbara, his wife who also happens to be a publicist. And how can anything happen without a very crazy screenwriter, Clark. But wait, there is also a film star, Derek, who doesn’t know wheh the acting stops. Not to worry — the Sheriff, Leroy P. Lumpkin is sure to get things under control. ... Windmore’s upcoming production of “Smoke and Mirrors,” directed by Grahame Henson, is one that will keep the audience guessing and laughing. Dr. Henson has previously directed “Inherit the Wind,” “Dial “M” for Murder,” “The Lady’s Not For Burning.” and “Oliver!” to name a few. This comedy/murder mystery will be presented on Nov. 15, 16, 17, 22 and 23 at the Culpeper County Middle School. Dr. Henson, is looking for four men and one woman to bring this play to life. If you enjoy acting, but have been afraid you might be asked to sing or dance, this is a chance for you. Auditions for the play are being held this Sunday, Aug. 25, from 2-5 p.m. at the Culpeper County Middle School. You do not need to bring any prepared material. You will be allowed time to look over segments of the play which will then be acted out. If you are not sure that you want to be under the lights, but would like to take part behind the scenes, drop by on Sunday or call 825-8492 and leave your name and number. For further information, please call 547-2555. still holding the reins), capturing the apple with teeth (no hands allowed), remounting and riding over the finish line with the apple in mouth. “After race is finished, feed apple to horse,” say the rules. However, when one of the riders dropped her apple to. the ground while riding back to the finish, her pony stopped immediately, bent down and grabbed that apple for himself. The egg and spoon race was easy for riders who rode smoothly, but the ponies who really bounced a lot made it very difficult for their riders to keep that raw egg in the spoon for the duration of the ride. In the Parents bn Ponies class, Robbie led his mom Sherry HamillHuff and Ryan Roach led her mom Sara. Several Rappahannock riders competed in Gymkhana: Ryan and Morgan Roach, Jacquie, Laura and Sophie Massie, Robbie Hamill-Huff, Christina Naramore and Lizzie Williams.

Simpson trial or who has doubts or reservations about our criminal justice-system should read Guilty: The Collapse of Criminal Justice a book by Judge Harold J. Rothwax, a trial judge of New York for twenty-five years. This is not the railing at the system by a conservative or right wing partisan but a vivid description of criminal justice’s defects and ills by an observer who, before he became judge, was a defense attorney and member of the American Civil Liberties Union. In recounting criminal cases he has tried and other renowned cases, his theme is that our system allows and encourages defendants and their attorneys to evade, ignore and subvert the truth. The system handicaps the prosecution from the time of arrfest to the verdict and beyond. It may be compared to a mile race between two runners in which the runner representing the defense is given a hundred yard advantage over the prosecution. For over one hundred and fifty years of our history police officers were allowed to question suspects and use their statements in court if these statements or confessions were not coerced. Now under the Miranda case, and interpretation of the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by the Supreme Court of the United States a police officer who has a defendant in custody must carefully explain to him his constitutional rights to remain silent, to have an attorney, to have an attorney appointed if he cannot afford one, that any statement he makes can and will be used against him. Absent such a warning, custodial confessions, no matter how voluntary, will be excluded if the case goes to The law on search and seizure is so nebulous, even the judges don’t know how to interpret it. Seven of Judge Roth wax’s ten recommendations to improve criminal justice are: 1. Simplification of search and seizure laws. 2. Abandonment of the Miranda rule in favor of use of videotapes and other technology to preclude abuse by the police. 3. The right to an attorney should only be a factor in the pretrial and trial stage, not in the investigative stage. 4. If a defendant could reasonably be expected to explain or deny evidence presented against him, the jury should be told that his failure to do so may tend to indicate the truth of such evidence. 5. Peremptory challenges to jurors should be limited to three. (In Virginia there are four for defense and four for the prosecution.) 6. Majority verdicts should be allowed. 7. American judges should be allowed a more active role in the courtroom to assure that the process is swift, sure and according to the laws of evidence. The book does not deal with the ills of the long, tedious and tortuous appellate process. It is not likely that any of Judge Rothwax’s recommendations will be adopted although certainly some of them, if not all, have real merit.

In the case of Mapp v. Ohio and other more recent U.S. Supreme Court cases rules have been established that prevent the prosecution from using any evidence in a criminal case that the court deems to be illegally seized. To fathom and understand the rule and its esoteric interpretations by the Supreme Court a police officer would have difficulty getting it right even if he had a lawyer orjudge riding with him in his cruiser.

Honey —■ Nature's True Sweetener By HELEN SMITH ' * Extension Agent, Home Economics As you travel around Rappahannock County and stop at the orchards and roadside fruit stands, most of them sell local honey as well a$ local produce. Honey adds beautijful golden color and a delightful sweet iflavor to bring out the best in many foods. -. ■ Honey is “manufactured” in one of the world’s most efficient factories, the beehive. Bees may travel as far as 55,000 miles and visit more then two n|illion flowers to gather enough nectar to make just a pound of honey. . The color and flavor of honey differ depending on the bees’ nectar source (the blossoms). In fact, there sue more then 300 unique kinds of ■honey in the United States, originating - from diverse floral sources such as ’clover, eucalyptus and orange blossom. In general, lighter-colored hon,eys are characterized by mild flavor; ‘darker honeys have stronger flavor. • Honey is primarily composed of fructose, glucose and water. It also contains trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins and amino acids. , - .The Honey Bee’s Second Shift ; In addition to gathering nectar to produce honey, honey bees perform a vital second function-pollination. About one-third of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants, and the honey bee is responsible for 80. percent of this pollination. . ; Pollination is the fertilization of a flowering plant. It occurs when pollen is transferred from the anthers of a flower to the ovules of that or another flower. Honey bees are responsible for pollinating a variety of fruits, vegetables, legumes and more. Mrs, E.

Look for honey at grocery stores and local fruit stands in these different forms: Liquid Honey Free of visible crystals, liquid honey is extracted from the honey comb by centrifugal force, gravity or straining. Because liquid honey mixes easily into a variety of foods, it is especially convenient for cooking and baking. Most of the honey produced in the United States in sold in the liquid form. Creme or Spun Honey While all honey will crystallize in time, creme or “spun” honey is brought to market in a finely crystallized state. The crystallization is controlled so that, at room temperature, the honey can be spread like butter. In many countries around the world, creme honey is preferred to the liquid form. poiax 987-8136 and Chris Lillard were guests at a cook-out at the home of Frances and Bunny Hudson and Cathy on Sunday.

The pastor the Rev. Merlin Shorb invites the public. Comb Honey Comb honey is honey that comes as it was produced-in the honey bees’ wax comb. The comb, along with the honey, is edible. Cut Comb Cut comb honey is honey that has been packaged with chunks of the honey comb. Cooking With Honey Honey absorbs and retains moisture, so it helps baked goods stay fresher longer. Here are helpful tips for using honey in the kitchen: • For best results, use recipes that were specifically developed with honey as an ingredient. Because of its high fructose content, honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar. • For easy removal, spray measuring cups with non-stick cooking spray before measuring honey. • A 12-ounce jar of honey equals a 1 -cup standard measure. When substituting honey for granulated sugar in recipes: • Substitute honey for up to onehalf of the sugar, though in certain recipes honey may be substituted for all of the sugar. • Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used in baked goods. • Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used in baked goods. • Reduce oven temperature by 25 degree F to prevent over-browning of baked goods. • Keep honey in a covered container and store at room temperature. (No refrigeration is necessary.) • If honey crystallizes, remover the lid and place the jar in warm water until the crystals dissolve. You may also microwave 1 cup of honey in a microwave-safe container on HIGH (100%) for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the crystals dissolve. i Honey-Orange French Toast Serves: 4-6 1/4 cup margarine, melted 2 tablespoons honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon '3 eggs 1/2 cup orange juice 1/8 teaspoon salt 6 thick slices bread Combine butter and honey in a 13 by 9-inch pan coated with non-stick spray.
