Herbal Center Wins Approval 'Hotel' Sees New Use By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Kathleen Maier got a permanent special use permit to operate a center for herbal studies on land belonging to Susan Babcock. However, the Board of Zoning Appeals added a provision to the permit to require a review of the permit after two years. Douglas Baumgardner had sent a letter to the board outlining the problems the Jonas Jenkins family has with the center and asking that any permit extension be contingent on having all traffic associated with the center use the new road off Route 624 rather than the right-of-way Ms. Babcock has past their houses off the Fodderstack Road. Ms. Maier's original permit was to operate the center one weekend a month from March through November this year for a maximum of 20 students. With the renewed permit the center can operate on other weekends and weekdays throughout the March through November period. She said the students had been coming in at 2 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon and staying through 2 p.m. on Sunday. "Our main intention was to create a model of community self-sufficiency," she said.’ "Everything is done by the students or staff." The center will be moving from an area around Ms. Babcock's house to a structure originally built for apple pickers and called "the hotel." The Jenkins family had asked that all vehicles involved in work on rehabilitating this building for use of the herbal center use the Route 624 access also, but Ms. Babcock said she had applied for a permit to do the work on the building "to preserve it" whether or not the herbal center received a permanent special use permit. "It's just a beautiful building with an incredible view of Old Rag," she said. Ms. Maier said she had received interest from professional people about taking a course that would not commit them to a nine-month period. She said she also wanted the right to operate the school during the week for occasional week-long classes. Ms. Maier had several fans of the center in the audience to address the BZA last Thursday. Mary Shepherd said she had been involved for a year as a gardener and had seen the farm "develop into a real organic herb farm." She said ponds See Herbs, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Brief Filed Bob Weinberg, Democratic candidate for ; the 10th Congressional District, filed a "friend of the court" brief Monday in support of Ross Perot's Reform Party bid to be included in the Presidential debates.

Wolf, R-lOth District, was unable to attend the Republican Bar-B-Q and rally Saturday afternoon at the Washington Fire Hall because Congress remained in session to work on budget appropriations and the Immigration Bill, but local Republicans seemed to enjoy their time together anyway. Bob Darby said, "I feel honored to have Frank Wolf as my Congressman." He noted that Rep. Wolf had organized a job fair for former Aileen workers when the plant closed and for workers at Vint Hill when the base closing was announced. "He has kept his eye on matters other people ignore," Mr. Darby said, mentioning the plight of the people of the Sudan. He said Frank Wolf had also one of the first to question security clearances of people in and outside the Clinton administration who were going in and out of the White House, and that led to the knowledge that unauthorized people were viewing the records of Republicans in the Bush administration. Mr. Darby introduced Wes Irvin, a member of Rep. Wolfs staff who has joined the cam"pkTgti. Mr. Irvin said the 164th'Congress'^# " passed more major pieces of legislation" than any Congress in recent years. He said the Democrats wanted to create "new Federal bureaucracy" to handle health care, but instead under a Republican Congress there is "portability and accessibility for health insurance and .medical savings accounts." He mentioned the welfare .reform bill and laws that force Congress to abide by the laws it passes that apply to the private sector. He said Rep. Wolf is "not taking the election for granted." He urged those in attendance to also support John Warner and the Dole-Kemp ticket saying they are all "good honest men." He said when Rep. Wolf first won his 10th District seat polls showed him behind, but he won, and Mr. Irwin suggested the polls that show Dole and Kemp losing may be wrong also. Those present also heard Marjorie Moore read her poem making fun of the Clinton White House and Clifford Northrop speaking on behalf See Rally, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Chris Mannion entertains, while a cardboard Newt Gingrich looks on, during the Republican Rally Saturday. Battle of Warners Records Debated By MATTHEW BROWN Tiroes Newspapers SUIT Writer Lagging far behind in the polls with only five weeks until voters cast their ballots, Democratic Party U.S. Senate candidate Mark Warner is stepping up his attacks on incumbent Republican John Warner. Mark Warner is trying to convince voters that his opponent, with his high approval rating from the Christian Coalition, is one of the extremist elements of the GOP, a Washingtonian working from the inside to dismantle all that's good in government. "The best solutions are often at the local level, but that doesn't mean you don't have any government," he said. The approach echoes a theme employed by Democrats See Warners, Page A-6 Paving Job Delayed Paving the driveway ' and parking lot at the county library will have to wait until Spring, but it will happen • At a meeting last week the board of directors of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library voted to contribute up to $20,000 to the project. That will enable the Library Board to go ahead with the project. However, asphalt companies say they need three days of weather that does not drop below 60 degrees for the paving product to cure. Library Board members said. As a result the board will proceed with drawing up See Paving, Page A-6 \ Settle Supports Tech Class Sheriff Gary Settle visited the Law Enforcement class at Piedmont Technical Center last Friday and talked about ethics and police work. "Are you committed to doing the right thing?" he asked. "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." He said he looks for honesty, integrity and dedication in the people he hires. He said he constantly asks himself, "Am I doing the right thing." He told them the public expects leadership from anyone in police work and he also expects his officers to be leaders. The Law Enforcement class is new to Piedmont this year. It is a one-year course with some students taking it in the morning and others in the afternoon. Five Rappahannock students are enrolled. Sheriff Settle said he was involved in the committee that helped to design the course and he expects to be able to hire its graduates for his department. Friday was the third time this year he has visited the class. Steve Jenkins, the instructor for the class, has many years in law enforcement work including work as a deputy with the Culpeper Sheriffs Office and an officer with the Culpeper Town Police. He was also a case manager for the Community Diversion Program. He said he is working with Germanna Community College and expects the students who successfully complete the class to earn 'six credits towards an associates degree in Criminal Justice from the college. He said besides the classroom work the students will also gain priactical skills. Physical training is another part of the program, he said. — By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nc»» Suit Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Sheriff Gary Settle visits with Billy Dodson and Lee Compton at Piedmont's Law Enforcement class Friday.

He was assigned to a probation officer• in Washington, D.C. but failed to report as scheduled. In March, 1995 his probation was continued for one more year, but he missed appointments again and failed to appear for a court date. A capias was issued. Even though Mr. Capies had moved his residence while on probation, "He had time to re-establish contact and show good faith," said Mr. Luke. He said that it was Mr. Capies's duty to contact his probation officer. It is a condition of probation. ''The Commonwealth believes he has violated probation and asks that the two years be imposed," said Mr. Luke. ' Judge Robertson could have ordered Mr. Capies to serve the two year jail sentence which had previously been suspended. He said that the court found that Mr. Capies was in violation of his supervised probation, sentenced him to the two years, suspended the whole sentence, and placed him back on two years' supervised probation.

Skyland Dining Room Is Tour House * By SHEILAH SWEET < ' • Rappahannock Newt Contributinf Writer The second hbme featured for the fortieth Annual House Tour and Dried Flower Sale, presented by the -Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish is Chestnut Cove, the home of Carson and Aline Johnson. In 1958, the Johnsons were living in the District of Columbia. They missed their native Rappahannock .County and hoped one day to return. , , When they heard that the old dining room at Skyland was going to be -sold to the highest bidder who would .promise to remove the stone and chestnut building, they made and offer. They had long admired Skyland, built by George Pollack at the end of the last century just before the chestnut blight killed all the giant trees. Mr. Pollack had turned his mountain holdings into a flourishing resort. And when the Shenandoah National Park was formed in the 1930's, Skyland became an integral part of the park. It still is, but the old dining room, then used for a variety of purposes was to be tom down. Much to the surprise of the Johnsons their bid won, and the work began. They tore down the building, moved it all down the mountains and began to build again. As they were spare time builders, the whole process took several years, but with the help of the late Cliff Woodard they finally finished their compact mountain home and returned to their beloved county. > Siding, floors, paneling, the stone patio, all came from Skyland. Two bedroom doors, however, were purchased from an old hotel in Flint Hill. And recently, they added skylights to admit shaded light in the summer and direct light in the winter. Most of the furnishings have been in their families for generations, while some were made by friends and others bought in the county. Even the room divider was once an old cemetery gate.

Recognizes RCHS Scholars "Get the EDGE" was the theme of an assembly at the high school Friday during which the RCHS Scholars were presented with academic letters. 1 The Scholars program was started .three years ago by members of the fiigh school faculty as a way to provide more encouragement for students who do well academically. Besides the letter (or star if the letter was earned in a previous year) the students receive an ID card that entitles them to discounts, including a free meal at McDonalds every week of the school year. The teachers negotiated with area businesses for these discounts. To be recognized as a Rappahannock Scholar a student must have earned no grade lower than a "B" last year and have missed no more than 15 days of school. The Scholars in the Senior class are Marie Andreoni, Virginia Ankers, John Arnold, Angela Atkins, Adam Douffard, Carissa Dennis, Melissa Dodson, Nathan Flinchum, Nancie Gallegos, Tanya Lockhart, Anna Metcalfe, Melissa Pearl, Eve Proper, Michelle Switzer, Ashley Vandiver, Kylene Wolfe, and Katie Zindel. Rappahannock Scholars in the Junior class are Michael Baader II, Timothy Deal, Brock Hermansen, Julie Jenkins, Stephanie Kestner, Jiff any Keys, Jessica Lawyer, Crystal Leake, Courtney Mauro, Stacey Payne, John Switzer, Autumn Wellemeyer, and Melissa Zim. Rappahannock Scholars in the Sophomore class are Thomas Baldwin, Jessica Gheen, Robyn Kaye, Betsy Moore, Caleb Proper, Claire Schadler, Lauren Sharp, Emily Sims, Jennifer Thomas and Brady Wolfe. The Freshman class has the largest group of scholars: Sonya Anderson, Kyla Andreoni, Banjamin Atkins, Ian Blubaugh, Austin Bouffard, Amy Buckholtz, Jennifer Bywaters, Heather Dunn, Haley Clark, Meghan Fairbrother, Crystal Fincham, Samantha Frazier, Jami Gillis, Crystal Grigsby, Chad Heddleston, Berkeley Hobson, Daisy Johnson, Kathryn May, Lainie Morgan, Sandra Oliver, Ryland Pace, Frank Paratore, Adam Rogers, Sara Roszak, Katrina Smoot, Amanda Walter, Mark Williams, Matthew Wolfe and Michelle Woodard.

A long ramp was built from the edge of the parking area to die porch of the building. A room with a kitchen and bathrooms ljas been selected. ' The center promises to be much more than a place to have meals three days a week. The seniors will be able to use their (oom every day and for longer periods. They will be able to start iraft projects and carry the projects through to completion without having to put everything away at the end of the day. J In the meantime the back section of the building has become die After School Club for the Child Care and Learning Center. If pie senior citizens can remain in their space outside of lunchtime, there is the possibility of intergenerational activities between the children and the seniors. ; Also Hunt Harris will move, the Ragged Mountain Resource Center into another room in the old school house. A center for information about the county and planning for projects to Improve it, the Ragged Mountain Resource center can become . ihe visitors’ center the county and Town of Washington so badly peed, and this opens the possibility the seniors can provide part of the staffing for the center. The former Washington School can become once again a tenter of activities in Rappahannock County as it was when schools were centers for social life in rural areas including this ■ founty. RCHS Band • With new uniforms the RCHS band is looking spiffy. With a {lew director they are sounding significantly better. But band teacher Cecile Scott is not satisfied. She wants new instruments [■or the band, especially the instruments that add resonance to the base sound. I The band started with a number of instruments donated by the Rappahannock Women's Club many years ago. After all these l^ears they are now in sad shape. Besides the large instruments Ms. Scott wants, there is also a need for more ordinary instruments such as clarinets and trumpets so that no child who wants to learn to play an instrument will be cut out of the program jiecause of the cost of purchasing an instrument. I About $8,000 more must be raised to to buy the large wind Instruments. More will be needed to also buy more ordinary instruments. Ms. Scott is hoping the community will come through with donations so the deeper, richer sound can be a part pf this year's performances.

Cutting Education To the Editor: As a former teacher, I am appalled at the way Republicans, including John Warner and Frank Wolf, tried to shortchange our country's schoolchildren during the just-past 104th Congress. The Republicans have repeatedly attempted to cut spending for vocational Education, special ed kids, student financial aid and for disadvangated children. It was only in the last few days of the 104th Congress, and only after Democrats were about to propose a rider requesting an additional $3.1 billion for education and job training, that Republicans reluctantly restored $2.3 billion they had previously cut in education funds. When Congress cuts such education funds, it means that communities like ours either have to come up with more money out of our local taxes for these essential educational programs or fall behind. And . when Bob Dole comes up with a cockamamie plan to cut everyone's taxes (rich and poor) by 15 percent, you can bet that the resulting reduction in government services will include federal educational cuts of some kind. What'll it be — eliminating college grants and loans, perhaps? And speaking of really crazy Republican ideas, one that Dole supported, is the idea that it is better to have the children of illegal immigrants on the streets, getting into trouble, perhaps committing crimes for lack of anything else to do, than to have them in school. Tell that to the police, many or whom, by the way, are supporting Bill Clinton this year. Democrats in Congress, including Virginia Democratic candidates Mark Warner and Bob Weinberg, would support Bill Clinton in his future educational goals, among which are: increasing Head Start programs to help thousands more children get a strong educational start, creating greater school-to-work opportunities for young people who aren’t going to college, teaching every schoolchild how to use a computer and be connected to the "information superhighway," and making college tuition payments partially deductible. We need Mark Warner and Bob Weinberg to help pass these programs. When the radical Republicans were in power in Congress these last two years, you could cut their arrogance and lack of compassion with a knife, the knife they wielded from glee at being, at last, in control. It was like watching a band of armed adolescents who had just learned to drive, careening around town, endangering the rest of us and behaving, like all adolescents, as though they were immortal. We can be grateful that the Democrats and more moderate Republicans (which did not include John Warner or Frank Wolf), as well as the American public, are finally saying "Enough." JOYCE ABELL Woodville Heart Broken To the Editor: My heart is broken following the defeat in the Senate last Thursday, Sept. 26, of the effort to override President Clinton's veto of the PartialBirth Abortion Ban. Thanks to everyone who called their Senators. We may feel like giving up, but we can't — thousands of precious babies are depending on us. The ban would have just applied to late-term abortions (usually from 4 1/2 to 9 months). When the American people realize this is seldom done for the life of the mother, but is usually elective, they will demand an end to the infanticide. The ban would have still allowed for the procedure to save life of the mother. , How long will we permit the holocaust of an estimated 400 abortions per day, in this free and civilized society? It was ironic that during the session last Thursday, during passionate pleas for the override, somewhere a baby's cry pierced the air. This is a defining moment for our country. It was a sad day. I pray there will be ultimate victory for at least this type of abortion — some day. Special thanks to the many volunteers associated with crisis pregnancy centers, providing free services to those interested in alternatives to abortion. CPCs provide pregnancy tests, maternity clothes, baby items, information on development stages of the baby, adoption referrals, and many other services. They hope to provide emotional and spiritual help as well to clients.

The Writer’s Art By JAMES J. KILPATRICK This was the lead on a story in The Washington Post a year ago: "The secret is finally out: American homeowners have a lot more arguments — and less frequent sex — with their spouses than people who rent apartments or houses do with their spouses.” That is the kind of sentence that is known in the writing trade as a "bljnker." We read it with fleeting comprehension, go on to the next paragraph, and come to a halt. How's that again? What did the man say? Can you "do" an argument? We have just blinked. Negative constructions* turn into blinders all the time. The Chicago Tribune remarked in an editorial last October that right-wing Republicans feared the candidacy of Colin Powell. If the retired general were nominated, it would signal the end of the party's fierce opposition to abortion. What the righti wingers are unable to accept, said the Tribune, "is that the outlawing of abortion already'is a lost cause — that while most Americans may not approve it, neither are they not eager to outlaw it." The Charlotte Observer carried a wire service item last December about Jermaine Jackson. His ex-wife, Margaret Maldonado Jackson, accused him on a TV talk show of denying that he had fathered their two sons. Jermaine was indignant: "I know those are my children. I never once denied they were not my children." In Smith County, Texas, several homeowners complained that the presence of a toxic waste facility had diminished the value of their property. A spokesman for the facility denied it. "A study done by the University of Tennessee shows that hazardous water facilities generally do not result in a negative decline in property value." Negative declines, we may assume, are much worse than positive declines. In Olympia, Wash., in April, an editorial stiffly criticized state legislators for getting drunk on the final night of their session. Drinking in the Capitol is illegal, "but lawmakers know they can drink without impunity." Drunk or sober, one is likely to blink at that remarkable privilege. Hillary Rodham Clinton fell into a dangerous metaphor last December. "Today there are some among us," said the first lady, "who are willing to knock down the ladder of opportunity after they themselves have reached the top rung." It's something to think about. ' It's hard to know what to make of an item in a North Carolina newspaper about Charles Wood, identified as "the voice and conscience of Lizard Lick": . "Woody is the father of eight children and nine grandchildren." Time magazine startled its readers last year by recalling a study of illegitimacy in New York City. The study appeared 60 years ago. "Dr. Ruth Reed discovered one unmarried mother who was only 11 years old and a 14-year-; old girl who had two fatherless babies." Fatherless? Hasn’t happened in 2,000 years. The newsletter of the American Association of Retired Persons reported an equally astounding piece of surgery: "Dave, a hard-driving, 58-^ year-old vice president, had one coro*, nary under his belt and another on the , way when he decided to opt out of cor* porate work." * Blinkers are the product of inat-. tention. Writers lose their concentra-, tion, and all of a sudden homeowners' are doing fewer arguments than' renters and vice presidents have coro- • naries under their belt. Moral: Our.’ copy is likely to be better if we read it. with care. ». Copyright 1996 Universal Press Syndicate

Wins Elude Basketball Teams i 1 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi SUfT Writer ] Both the varsity and JV girls' basketball teams showed improvement when they faced Luray in a rematch Thursday night, but they still fell short of victories. - • The varsity fell 61-48 to a determined Bulldog team. Sonya Wigington had 22 points, Dawn H&vstad had 10, and Kylene Wolfe added seven, tiffany Keys had six rebounds. , • _ "They played one heck of a gatne," Coach Laura Conklin said. *’Our main problem was offensive rebounds. At half time we had no offensive rebounds. Our goal was to pressure and steal the ball and get inside for rebounds, but on offense they were rushing too much." She no'ted that as a team the varsity had 10 steals. ^ She said time after time the varsity pulled closer to.the Lady Bulldogs only to fall back again. Sarah Gentry was unable to play and "that hurt us some not having her. The team pulled together and made a valiant effort considering we were missing one starter. I’m proud of the way they played. They made mistakes because they were rushing." The JV fell 31-21. Rebecca Letsen had five points, Alice Gentry, Beth Magee and Mandolyn Ashby had four each. Mandolyn pulled in 12 rebounds, and Rebecca 10 along with nine steals. ■ "We started off a little slow,*’ RAA Team Pleases Coach By DONN HACKNEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer „ The Rappahannock Athletic Association Senior Babe Ruth team, coached by Henry Digges has a lot to be proud of. After winning its season opener 120 over Warrenton the team has continued to compile a mid-season record of 5-1-2. "In fall ball we do not play .extra innings," explained Coach Digges. "I'm very pleased and excited with a number of things I have seen this fall. "We are experiencing a team camaraderie that we have not experienced in some time. The boys are playing together as a team and working hard on thfeir individual games. It's refreshing to see such a change in attitudes. '•'Typically the fall season is a carry over from the summer and the guy's are out to have fun. This year is different. Players are more focussed and hungry and want to be respected by their competition and be known as winners." The big guns for the team have been Andy Grimsley and Jon Digges oh the mound. Combined they are posting an ERA of 1.58. Andy has a record of three wins and one loss with an Earned Run Average of 1.21 runs per seven-inning game. Jon has two wins, no loses and two ties. His •Earned Run Average is 1.86 runs per seven-inning game. , Offensively it has been a team effort with impressive games from freshman Alex Baumgardner, Irvin Phillips, and Tommy Settle. Alex on .the year is hitting .348, Irvin .350, and •Tommy .364. ■ * "We still have a ways to go and itjore to accomplish before the season efids," added Coach Digges. The loss to Loudoun County on Saturday was a disappointing one. "We felt like we beat ourselves by committing a few mental mistakes and Loudoun was aggressive by capitalizing on them. The only thing that makes me feel better is that we play them again Thursday night in Loudoun. I'm confident in my players that we will eliminate our mistakes and come home With a win." • The team's next home game is Sunday, Oct. 20, at Stuart Field in Amissville. Coach Rhonda Jenkins said. "We started fighting back in the third quarter, but we weren't as agressive as we have been. Rebecca played a real good game defensively and offensively. I’m glad we kept their score down to 31 points." The Tuesday before the JV had lost a close one to Page County 34-31. In that game Alice Gentry had 10 points and Beth Magee had eight. Marho Haynes had five steals. "They played poorly the first half and were down 21-4 at halftime," Coach Jenkins said. "Then in the second half they really picked up the intensity." She said the team was ready for a tie at the end of the game, but Beth Magee's shot rolled out of the rim. The varsity went down 77-53 to Page County. Dawn Havstad had her best game of the season getting 21 points. Sonya wigington added 16. "The defense was awful that night. We weren't getting the inside position for rebounds," Coach conklin said. "They had one player who had 21 points. We weren’t good at stopping her." Both teams face a two-week layoff now as they prepare to play the teams in the rest of the Bull Run District after starting the season by playing teams in the new Shenandoah District. Volleyballers Get Win "Our hats are off to RMA,” said Wakefield Country Day School varsity volleyball coach Jim Harris following his team's loss (15-2, 15-4, 15-6). "We were coming off a tough loss to a talented Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy team and had high hopes. RMA had us back on our heels from the beginning." Then the girls went down 15-1, 15-5, and 15-6 in a match with Seton. "Seton played almost flawless volleyball," said Coach Harris. But on Monday WCDS bounced back to win a match with Massanutten Military Academy 15-1, 15-10, 15-1. "WCDS played the best game of the season with consistant serving and hard spikes," Coach Harris said. "MMA was very inexperienced but showed aggressive play throughout the contest."

Besides the two-year review the permit restricts teachers, students, and anyone providing services to the herbal center to using Route 624 for access.

The week before at the Planning Commission the special use permit also received approval in spite of objections from the Jonas Jenkins family.

Assistant Chief Harry Tummeyer brought the fire truck and took part in a fire drill for the entire school. Karla Miller went over safety tips with the children.

Mrs. Settle asked if it was proper to have a commercial profit-making activity in an agricultural zone. "It's my understanding the board supports commercial uses in the general commercial overlay area." Chairman Mike Massie noted that there are many profit making activities allowed in agricultural zones with a special use permit or special exception. They do not require commercial zoning, he said and added activities that require commercial zoning are the ones the planners want to see in the general commercial zone. "Where is this going to end?" Mrs. Settle asked. "She keeps wanting to expand." Mr. Massie said the planners wanted to restrict all uses connected with the school from using the narrow right-of-way. Ms. Babcock, who had stepped down from her seat at the table as a member of the Planning Commission while the application was being considered, said, "I hear the opposition. I do have a private life, and I have a right-of-way which I bought from Mrs. Jones." She said all the uses connected with the school had used the driveway off Route 624. "I am not willing to give up a right-of-way soid to me with the farm, but I will do anything I can not to upset the Jenkins family." ► Rally From Page A-l of Sen. John Warner. Ron Frazier. Jackson District representative on the Board of Supervisors and former local Republican Party chairman, said he has discovered "how entrenched the liberal bureaucracy is right here in Rappahannock County." Ryan Roach helped current local Republican Party chairman Walt Longyear draw names for door prizes, and Chris Mannion entertained the crowd with songs from his repertoire of political parody such as "They Say My Basement Is a Wetland," "One More Whitewater Lie," "Society's to Blame,” and "Judges' Hall of Shame." The party * then conducted a fundraising auction of cakes, pies, apples, and John Marocchi's honey. Mr. Longyear urged everyone to become involved as a volunteer in the fall campaign.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick The percussion section, Amanda Brown Zach Corbin, Chris Turner and Matt Wolfe,’ ' show off their new band uniforms for Friday evening’s performance. Band Premiers Uniforms The RCHS band members appeared for the first time officially in their new uniforms in a concert in front of the school Friday evening. The concert was followed by an ice cream social also in front of the school. The band played four pieces, three marches and "What I Did for Love" in the gathering darkness. The uniforms, cadet style navy blue tunics and white pants, looked quite impressive. The playing was also an improvement after only five weeks under new director Cecile Scott. Ms. Scott said the next major project for the band is raising money to purchase some new instruments. She said her one tuba player is all state quality but playing on an tuba that was purchased second hand when it was already 30 years old. Besides a new tuba, Ms. Scott hopes to buy three French horns and a baritone saxophone. These large instruments are quite expensive. The five will cost $10,080. She said due to fund raising and a contribution by assistant superintendent Mary Ann Biggs the • band has $2,000, but they are appealing to the community for • additional funds since there is no ! chance of coming up with that much * ! money from the school budget. Besides that need, Ms. Scott alsq. , sees needs for more common instnw • ments. At the elementary school most beginning students purchase instruments from instrument suppli- - ers on the installment plan, but there . ' are children who would like to learn to play but cannot because their fam-. . ilies do not qualify for credit. ; ‘ ► Warners From Page A-I across the country who are trying to link Republican incumbents to Newt Gingrich's Contract With America. At a Sept. 29 debate at The College of William and Mary, Mark Warner repeated his attacks on John Warner's votes to cut spending for Medicare and Medicaid and called attention to the senator's record on education issues. "His priorities are to balance the budget, [but] we ought not balance the budget at the expense of Head Start and student loans and school lunches and Medicare," Mark Warner said. To deflect this criticism and distance himself from conservative Republicans John Warner has been pointing to two years ago, when he turned his back on the Virginia Republican party's endorsement of Oliver North in the Iran-Contra-scandal figure's attempt to unseat U.S. Sen. Charles Robb (D). He revisited that stance at the debate, emphasizing his "indepen dent" platform on several occasions. "I have stood up and looked them straight in the eye, even though it cost me politically," John Warner said. Mark Warner also challenged the senator's support of Republican measures to preserve mining and timber laws, calling the laws "corporate subsidies" that go against the incumbent's platform of balancing the budget. By bringing attention to John Warner's record on the issues, though, Mark Warner may be inadvertently calling attention to the numberous fed-; | eral programs that the incumbent has brought to the state. John Warner said his position- as J chair of the Senate Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee And j ranking majority member on the j Armed Services Committee has paid' off for Virginia in terms of jobs and federal programs. ; ; "I’m in a position of seniority to get things done for Virginia," the 18year incumbent said. ►-Paving - - From Page A-l specifications and may go ahead with putting in some additional culverts to help carry runoff away from the driveway, but the actual paving,will have to wait.

Dream of Years for Seniors Becoming Real Friday Workday Readies Building . . Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Washington School House was buzzing and bustling last Friday, as a score of community-minded vol. unteers turned out to hammer, drill, saw, shovel and scrub the county's new .senior citizen center into existence. ; "This is the fir^t time in Rappahannock County that we have an accessible senior center," said Michael Soule, senior advocate with the Community Services Board, as he t0ok a few minutes off from digging new flower beds at the edge of the School's front porch. "For the first time, people who really want to come here can get in." Since the late 1970s, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board has operated the senior citizen nutrition site in the parish hall of Trinity Episcopal Church. But the program, which provides seniors with a hot meal and an opportunity for ; social interaction, was available only to those who could negotiate stairs — one flight up into the hall and another down to the restrooms. • On, Friday, Rappahannock contractor Kevin Weisgerber and his crew of carpenters were taking steps to The elderly shouldn't be isolated from children, and children shouldn't be isolated from the elderly'. — Jeannie McNear remove the barriers at the Washington School. With volunteer labor, they were constructing a ramp down from the front porch. "It’s a worthwhile cause — the seniors need a place,” said Mr. Weisgerber. "In the long run, our contributions will be repaid. Rappahannock's seniors have a wealth of knowledge. Here, they have a place to share that knowledge." "We've never had a place or our own," said Jeannie McNear, the coordinator for the Community Services Board's Retired Senior Volunteer Program in Rappahannock County. "Now, we have space to store things. We can set things up and leave them up. We can do projects. And I think we'll start by bringing in sewing machines to make new curtains for our new place!" Alice Pullen shoes away flies while Hunt Harris gets lunch. "I'm so glad this building is being used," said Fanning Baumgardner, one of Mrs. McNear's retired senior volunteers who had spent the morning uprooting honeysuckle from the big boxwoods at the front of the school. He praised William Carrigan, the school's owner, for his willingness to make the building available for community use at a reasonable cost, no only for the seniors but for Spring Mountain School first and now the Child Car and Learning Center which leases the auditorium for the After School Club. "Without Mr. Carrigan's leadership and support, there'd have been no July 4th celebration in Washington. He's done so much over the years, and now he's being very kind in allocating space for the seniors and for educational programs.” Hunt Harris also plans to move bis Ragged Mountain Resource Center from Washington's Main Street to the old school. With seniors, kids and the environmental education center in the same location, plus with the bakery in an adjacent outbuilding, the Washington School will become a defacto community center, Mr. Harris predicted. Mrs. McNear is delighted by this harmonic convergence. "The elderly shouldn't be isolated from children, and children shouldn't be isolated from the elderly," she added, expressing hope that seniors and young people might work together on joint projects. An informal Rappahannock Senior Committee — Mrs. McNear, Mr. Baumgardner, Mr. Harris, Mr. Soule, Ruth Keyser, Nancy Reeve, James Russell and Bemie Price — came up with the plan for the new % Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Sharon Kilpatrick Kevin Weisgerber's crew constructed a ramp at the Washington School Friday. senior center, conducted fundraising and organized the coalition of volunteers that made it happen. But there are still goals to reach — short and long term. The group figured that about $7,000 was needed for renovation and operation. "So far, we have $2,500,” Mr. Baumgardner reported. The Community Services Board provides the meals, which are brought from Warrenton's Shadow Lawn Center by volunteer Gil Webb. The Board also pays $85 a month rent for the senior's room. But the Senior Committee has to cover electric and heating bills. "The senior room is metered separately, and we have a separate propane tank, making it autonomous for utilities," said Mr. Soule. "We’re going to insulate the space really well, so we projecting the bills won't be more than $200 a month." Support has been pledged, financial and otherwise. The Rappahannock Lions Club will be making a donation and possibly allocating a portion of the proceeds from a spring auction to the senior center. Architect Jay Monroe of Flint Hill has offered to put up a new porch railing. Sheriff Gary Settle has also offered to assist' with bringing seniors to and from the center. "We have a van, and if it's not tied up transporting inmates, we're happy to make it available," he said, adding that in the past the van has been loaned to scouts and other community groups. Already, the sheriffs department maintains a calling list for elderly people who live alone or stay alone during the day. "We have a call dispatcher who's behind the phone all day long, so the resource is right in front of us." The dispatcher makes daily calls to the seniors on the list. If there is no phone, deputies work check stops into their regular rounds. That is all part of community-based law enforcement. Sheriff Settle noted. That spirit of community is also what is energizing the Senior Committee to work towards a senior center that will be much more than a nutrition site. "The potential here is so great,” said Mr. Harris, encompassing school and grounds in the sweep of his arm. "We could have a community garden, for instance. Rappahannock's elders have so much knowledge to pass on to the next generations. They can provide the know-how, and younger people — adults and children — can make it grow." The wish-list for the new senior center includes: • Ceiling fans to circulate the heat in the high-ceilinged senior room • Propane cook stove • Space heater • Air conditioning unit • Carpet • TV stand • Bulletin Board • Standing cabinet with lockable doors Anyone interested in contributing money, services or materials to the . center should contact Jeanie McNear at the Family Guidance Center in the Clopton House in Washington or call 675-3329. Ideas for projects and improvements are also welcome. Mountainside Market To Host Music Festival This Weekend By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ' ^ Rappahannock News Contributing Writer ' The mountains will ring this weekend, Oct. 5 and 6, as Rappahannock musicians gather in Sperryville for the first Mountainside Music Festival. The two days of music will feature blues, pop, rock and folk artists who have one thing in common: they Call Rappahannock home. "When the businesses in Sperryville started talking about a festival, music seemed the natural choice for the main attraction," said Brian Ross, co-owner of Mountainside Market and organizer of the event. "We have such an incredible bunch of musicians in the county — music has to be a major crop, ranking right up there withapples and inns!" Musicians — like other artists — are attracted and inspired by the Blue Ride countryside. "Beauty is a great motivator for creativity," explained Robert "Smiggy" Smith, guitarist and composer whose recording studio has Old Rag for a backdrop. "You see the mountains and the music starts playing in your head." "We've probably got more musicians per capita than anywhere else in Virginia," Mr. Ross added. "So we're able to celebrate with music more often than most communities. When we heed to raise money for a good cause, we do it with music. Music is a big piece of the fabric of our lives. It's always been that way in Rappahannock, going back to the days when orchestras and opera companies performed at the old mill in Washington. And now we have an opportunity to get all our great musicians out of the hills and hollows at the same time." With two stages in the park next door wired for sound, the music will Quintet at Ki Next Saturday " The county's own Rappahannock Quintet will bring its unique and innovative music to the Ki Theatre once again at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12 in a- concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Last fall, the Quintet delighted a standing-room-only crowd with an evening of original music composed apd performed by Beth Levick on harp and vocals, Lyt Wood on the. hammered dulcimer, Kathy Tester on the flute, Scott Tester on the violin, and •Juidy Engen on the cello. Their program for Oct. 12 promises to be an equally surprising and enjoyable performance, full of new pieces which showcase the many talents of this. remarkable ensemble. ; The Quintet's music is characterized by the unexpected, with distinctly classical roots giving way to fresharrangements of traditional tunes and then evolving into ethereal new age pieces. While the moods and influences vary with the composer, the wide range of original compositions all share an infectious energy, compelling melodic lines, and interesting rhythms which will keep audiences wishing for more. The Quintet has been working together for two years, each member carving time from busy work and family schedules for composition and rehearsal. When she is not playing the troubadour harp or providing vocal accompaniment for the Qujntet, Beth Levick teaches music, provides private voice and piano lessons, and is a director of the a capella singing, group, "The Eclectics." ■ Lyt Wood, one of the group's composers, has been a forester and arborist in the area for 20 years. He plays a hammer dulcimer that he designed and built at home. In addition to playing the flute, Kathy Tester of Sperryville is the organist at St. Peter's Church in Washington. Her husband Scott plays the violin, and is the orchestra and chorus teacher at Warrenton Middle School. They have performed in Culpeper with the Piedmont Choral Society. Cellist Judy Engen of Culpeper has played with ensembles and orchestras in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Virginia. With her husband Steve and daughter Kyrsten, she operates a wood crafts business, "Willow Creek Handcrafts." The group often welcomes friends and neighbors to listen in on rehearsals, where they are privileged to observe the incredibly complex process through which the composer and the other four musicians bring an evolving creation to life as an ensemble performance. A little more staccato here, a smoother transition there; more cello in this section, more prominent flute in that passage. A few subtle adjustments and what sounded lovely at the first hearing has suddenly become even better. Local artist, Robin Purnell, has been a regular at rehearsals since the group first began playing together. She describes listening to the Rappahannock Quintet as "a unique experience. Not only do these local musicians compose their own music, each piece is very different and touches the full range of emotions. 1 have been looking forward to this concert for months." Ki Theatre is located on Gay Street in Washington. Tickets are $10 (students $5), and may be purchased at Mountainside Market in Sperryville or reserved by calling 675-1616. echo without interruption, beginning at 2 p.m. on both days.

Also Ted Pellegatta will have his new 1997 Rappahannock calendar for sale at Mountainside Market. Hot off the press, the 1997 calendar includes 24 of Mr. Pellegatta's photographs of the county. Mr. Ross warns that times are approximate and festival goers should consult . "Rappahannock Standard Time." "We see this as the kick-off for an annual celebration of Rappahannock's musical best." said Mr. Ross. "The Blue Ridge Mountains are the hills that are truly alive with the sounds of music — music of all kinds." First Smithsonian Concert Set The Smithsonian Chamber MusicSociety inaugurates its fifth season at the Theatre at Washington at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13 with a concert of music tracing the development of the cello and its repertoire. The Society’s artistic director for the series, cellist and conductor Kenneth Slowik, is joined by its founder, harpsichordist James Weaver, and cellist Carla Rosenberg, a longtime Society collaborator. A pre-concert talk begins at 3:30. Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental set of six unaccompanied works still forms the backbone of the cello literature. Mr. Slowik performs the Suite in D Minor, the second composition in the set. The program includes music for cello by 17th and 18th century Italian composers Gabrielli, Geminiani, Vivaldi, and Boccherini. Mr. Weaver performs harpsichord works by Frescobldi, including a set of five gagliards — lively Italian dances of the 17th century- ryFollowing the Smithsonian's practice, all these pieces are played on period instruments closely resembling those with which their composers would have been familiar. The two cellos come from eighteenth-century workshops in Paris and London, while Mr. Weaver plays an Italian-style harpsichord copied by Thomas -and Barbara Wolf of The Plains, Virginia, from an instrument of 1694 in the Smithsonian's world-famous Collection of Musical Instruments. James Weaver is supervisor of the Smithsonian's Division of Cultural History and has been involved with historic instruments and performance programs at the National Museum of American History since 1966. As a performer, he divides his time among harpsichord, fortepiano, and organ, appearing both as a solo artist and in chamber music ensembles throughout the United States and Europe.

Yet, most of those who do will tell you they are not frightened, for a shaky step could prove disastrous. Faith in their knowledge and skill provides a sure stride. Those of us who do not share such occupations may feel safe, yet as we walk through life, we have no guarantees from one moment until the next. We riuist always be ready for the unexpected challenge, trusting Cod to guide us. 2 Corinthians 5:7 instructs us, “We walk by faith, not by sight."

Back To School Nutrition Checklist By HELEN SMITH Etkului A(cnt, Home Economics Notebooks in assorted colors, a new teacher, fresh duds to wear, maybe even a shot or two, and the kids are set for school. Or are they? Sorry parents, but a few vital items remain on your back-to-school checklist. Actually, the things on this list will need attention all through the school year — long after those new blue jeans are ripped and faded. Breakfast — Gotta have it. No two ways about it. Whether your youngster eats at home, at school, or munches on a banana and bagel at the bus stop, fueling up is a necessity to bring those brain cells up to full capacity. While researchers can explain the scientific importance of breaking the fast, teachers can tell you firsthand about the impact breakfast-skipping makes on late morning behavior and school performance. Lunch at school — Kids throughout the U.S. will face a "new and improved" lunch period this year. Clearly the biggest program overhaul in 50 years, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will implement legislation this Fall that requires schools participating in the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs to serve healthful meals in line with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Students who choose to eat at school likely see their favorite foods — burgers, pizza, and burritos — but the ingredients will be modified to make these items lower in fat while scoring high in nutrition. Packed Lunches — For those days when only a lunch packed from home will do, take care to make it both safe and healthful: Pack all cold lunch items the night before and store in the coldest part of the refrigerator. In the morning, place a frozen juice box or reusable ice pack in the lunch bag or box. If sending hot soup, heat and fill the thermos right before your child dashes off. Discard any protein or dairy items that return in the lunch box at the end of the day. As the lunch warms, bacteria begin to multiply, thriving especially on protein foods. Discourage "trading" , between your child and his/her classmates. Unfortunately, not everyone practices safe food handling practices. To maximize nutrition, include at least four of the five food groups in every lunch. Encourage your child to help plan and prepare lunch, taking into consideration nutrition, safety, and cost. Your guidance is crucial in the early stages because your child will eventually assume control over lunch-packing. Snack Plans — Stock up on plenty of snacks for after school and between activities. Good choices include baby carrots, grapes, bananas, low fat crackers, animal crackers, bagels, pretzels, string cheese, and yogurt. Stash a few of the nonperishable items in the car for those times Darrell Atkins Earns Degree Darrell M. Atkins graduated from George Mason University in Fairfax on August 17, 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Speech Communication. Darrell is the son of John M. and Phyllis K. Atkins, formerly of Washington and the grandson of the late Nellie Keyser Mitchell and Cecil Atkins of Sperryville and is the great grandson of Mrs. Addie F. Keyser of Washington.

Meal Planning — Plan ahead for quick evening meals when family activities leave you scrambling to cook. Prepare soups and casseroles in double batches and freeze, or serve sandwiches with simple side dishes such as fruit, pretzels, and carrot sticks. Fit Kids — Encourage fitness through active play, exercise, or organized sports. Set limits for time spent at the computer and in front of the television. Find activities the family can participate in together. Restoration — Skimping on sleep can really take its toll on the health and achievement of busy kids. While individual needs vary, it's not unreasonable for kids to require 10 or more hours of sleep each night. And parents, we know, could always, use a few extra winks.
