Following a fairly long executive session the remaining four members of the School Board unanimously selected Rosa Crocker to fill an interim term as Wakefield District's representative on the board. She replaces Paul Nichols, who died last month. The interim appointment is only until next November when a special election will be held along with the general election to fill the remainder of the term through December of 1999. The board considered four candidates. Besides Ms. Crocker they were Ellen Manson, who ran unsuccessfully for the seat in 1995, Roger Welch, who ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Board of Supervisors in 1995, and Mr. Nichols's widow Charlotte Nichols. All had nominated themselves by filling out an application at the School Board office. All spoke for themselves at the meeting. See Schools, Page A-8 Rosa Crocker Welfare Is More Than Money Beverly Leathers, director of the Department of Social Services in the county, said when most people "think of welfare they think of money," but the money programs such as AFDC, Food Stamps and Medicaid are only part of what social services does. The department also administers a lot of service programs, she said at a program in the Rappahannock Library Friday. The Medicaid program is by far the largest, in the county with 411 people eligible for services in "a zillion categories" and over $1.5 million spent, she said. The Food Stamp program has about 138 families eligible receiving stamps forth $215,000. The smallest ^jWBaram. WiiA&.iP. FamUigs tyjOt - Dependent- Children (AFDC). It currently serves about 18 families and gave out about $31,000 last year. She said Virginia got a head start on the nation in welfare reform. So far 20 people from the AFDC caseload have been required to go through the Virginia Initiative for Employmeht, not Welfare (VIEW) which requires them to get a job within 90 days. She said one finished cosmetology school and is working, one finished nursing school and is working, one has a full-time teaching job and another has a full-time job with VDOT. She said those in educational programs were allowed to finish them, but they still had to work part time. She said they have received transitional services, but the two year period during which they could continue to receive services will end this summer and some "may become the working poor." Those who cannot find jobs are required to perfpjrm community ser-. vice tq continue to receive monthly checks. Mrs. Leathers said one woman kept reporting no luck finding a job, but after she was assigned to one day of community service working at the Child Care and Learning Center, she found a job the next day. Mrs. Leathers said since the state was under a waiver and the new Federal Welfare Reform will have little effect here, with perhaps some new rules for aliens. However, since the federal program is going to block grants, that may mean less money coming into the state and less coming from the state to the county. Mrs. Leathers said the county contribution to the department's budget is 3 percent or about $70,000. There are seven full-time workers in the department and two part time, she said. Besides the traditional welfare . programs, the department provides child protection services. The department is required to investigate every accusation of child abuse. If die accusation is found to have merit, a social worker tries to work with the family to keep it together. She said thanks to a small contribution from the Board of See Welfare, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins Wolf's Rep To Visit Karen Bowling Foster from Congressman Frank Wolfs office will be in Rappahannock County from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Rappahannock Extension • office on Gay Street to talk with constituents who need assistance or have problems of a Federal nature.

By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s senior nutrition site moved into its new quarters in the former Washington School Monday. Seniors and staff alike were delighted to finally be in new quarters that are fully handicapped accessible and theirs alone. However, questions remain about the relationship between the county and the Community Services Board which oversees the nutrition sites in Rappahannock and four other counties and provides a wide variety of other services. For the 1996 fiscal year Rappahannock County provided more funding forv the Community Services Board per capita than any of the other counties in the planning district except Fauquier. The local government contributed $27,026, or $4.03 per capita, based on a population of 6,700. Fauquier County contributed $221,699 or about $4.49 p6r capita. Culpeper contributed $63,700 or about $2.24 per capita. Madison County contributed $29,450 or $2.67 per capita, and Orange County contributed $58,900 or $2.67 per capita. At last week's Board of Supervisors meeting executive director Brian DunCan and CSB member Aline Johnson said this disparity would disappear as other counties increase their contribution, See CSB, Page A-8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Seniors enjoy their first lunch at the new site Monday. Water Studies Slated in Town After months spent preparing a request for proposals and going over the proposals from those firms that responded, the Town of Washington had contracted for some preliminary studies on the need for a sewer system. Charlie Tompkins, chairman of the Town Council committee studying the need for a sewer system, announced that the council has contracted with Resource International, Ltd., headquartered in Ashland, to assist the town with engineering/planning studies. The purpose of the study, according to Mr. Tompkins, is "to evaluate and help determine the need,(if any) for storm water and sewer improvements." Among the data to be collected is information on storm water runoff characteristics. To accomplish this, water samples will be gathered from certain stream and pond sites in town and in the county near the town limits. Background samples as well as storm water runoff samples associated with "rainfall events" will be analyzed to "assist in identifying potential points of environmental concern," according to Mr. Tompkins. Town citizens who are members of the committee will be performing the sampling following training by the engineering firm. Mr. Tompkins wants town citizens to be aware that people on die committee and employees of Resource International may be moving around in town, even in their back yards, collecting samples. Residents and businesses may also be surveyed on their opinions on the town’s needs "related to storm water ahd sewer problems (if any),” Mr. Tompkins said. Glassworks Gallery Opens By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer At long last, local glassblower Eric Kvames's Glassworks Gallery will have its grand opening on Sunday, Dec. 1 from noon to 6 p.m. Mr. Kvames has been a glassblower for 23 years and has been making the glass at his studio in Sperryville since 1984 when he converted the old Sperryville junkyard into Oldway Art Center. He purchased the junkyard from Piedmont supervisor Charles K. "Pete" Estes. "Pete made it possible for me to buy the property, and end the junkyard. We spent many months cleaning it up together. This made it possible to build an art center on a large piece of industrially zoned land," said Mr. Kvames. The construction of Glassworks Gallery began in 1988, and today it is a spacious 5,000 square foot twostory gallery. The gallery is now part of Oldway Art Center, which is a cluster of studios housing several local artists: stained glass artist Patti Mullan, metal sculptor Mike Doyle, woodworker Michael Saulnier, ceramic artist Monika Calhoun, and glassblowers Eric Kvames and Christina Ward. Ms. Ward learned glassblowing from Mr. Kvames and creates several pieces of glass herself besides making the suncatchers with him for. the Faith Mountain catalog. They also sell many suncatchers and other glass pieces in the gallery. See Glass, Page A-7 Rappahannock News Stall Photo by Cindy Mahan Eric Kvarnes and Christina Ward prepare to officially open the new Glassworks Gallery in Sperryville.

Embrey Enters Guilty Plea J By CINDY MAHAN l Rappahannock News Staff Writer | Larry Egbert Embrey, 44, of • Remington, who had been indicted ! earlier this year on charges of.breaking and entering and grand larceny, pled guilty last week to grand larceny. In a plea agreement with the commonwealth, Mr. Embrey's breaking and enlering charge (which is a felony as is the grand larceny) was reduced to . trespassing on the property of Elmer Atkins with the intent to interfere with . the rights of the owner, a misdemeanor. Mr. Embrey had been charged with taking several items from Mr. , Atkins’s property in Sperryville last April, including a baby cradle, two' piano stools and pottery. He will remain in jail until his Sentencing on Jan. 3. David Wayne Gay, 36, of Madison, was in court for sentencing after having been convicted in September of unlawful entry. However, Mr. Gay’s probation officer, Lisa Murphy, told the court Mr. Gay had failed to show up for an appointment in October and that a letter she had sent to the address he had given her was returned. Because Mr. Gay did not cooperate in helping his probation officer in preparing his pre-sentencing report. which is required by the court before his sentencing, h, was asked to explain why she didn't have his correct address. Mr. Gay said that when he had written down his address, he wrote down his prior Madison address out of habit. He had moved to Richmond and had not notified his probation officer, which is a violation a court order. It was also a violation of a bond his mother had signed for him. Mark Williams, Mr. Gay’s attorney, said that his client had cooperated with the probation officer, but that there had been a mix-up about his address. Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke said, "I think the mix-up on the address is the understatement of the month." He said that Mr. Gay had essentially delayed the process of the court and had put extra strain on the parole officers and everyone in the court. "He has violated the terms of the court order and the bond,” said Mr. Luke. Judge W. Shore Robertson agreed that Mr. Gay had delayed the work of the probation officer and the court, but decided to give Mr. Gay another chance. His new court date, at which his pre-sentencing report will be required, is Jan. 13. i< Estate Auction * ?V FARM EQUIPMENT^ Saturday, November 16th • 10:00 a.m at Flint Hill, VA This is a good opportunity to buy a fine piece of well-kept equipment for your farm...

Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Chris Graves gets help from Wayne Wilson, liason between the fire department and the troop, to dedicate the men's rest room and kitchen. Eagle Project Completed By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Chris Graves of Chester Gap is the first boy in the new Boy Scout Troop 200, chartered to the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department to work on an Eagle Scout project. His mother reported he decided to do something for the Fire Department that "had done so much for him.” So he tackled making major improvements to the men’s and women's bathrooms and the kitchen. Working with his family and other boys in the troop, the bath-* room walls were painted and the floors scrubbed. In the women’s bathroom a mirror and vanity were added. In the men's bathroom a shelf and mirror were added. The women's auxiliary scrubbed the kitchen. But Chris and the scouts were in the process of adding a three-tier shelf above the work area on Saturday night Oct. 26 as the troop was preparing for its annual auction of sports and celebrity items. They also lined many of the other shelves with fresh contact paper. Mrs. Graves said if they can get the money, they plan to replace the counter top. Chris estimates that he put in 87 or 88 hours on the project and other volunteers added 12 to 13 hours. Chris is an eighth grader at RCHS. Currently he is trying wrestling as a sport. He has only, been in the Boy Scouts for three years, and it usually takes longer than that to move up the ranks to Eagle, but Chris enjoyed earning the required merit badges and working on moving up the ranks. He particularly enjoyed • earning the merit badges in sports, swimming, athletics and citizenship in the community. Troop 200 is a fairly new troop that split off from Troop 36. In spite of his youth, Chris was the most senior of the scouts in the new troop, so he earned credit in leadership for serving as senior patrol leader. Havura To Discuss Redwoods By CARLA THEODORE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer At its monthly meeting this Sunday, Nov. 17, Havura Ktana will . explore how we could best apply the ’ values of Judaism to an environmental crisis involving the ancient Redwood Forests. A group of California Rabbis, dubbed the Redwood Rabbis, have been fighting the logging operations of Texas Financier Chartles Hurwitz who purchased several ancient groves of redwoods in a hostile takeover. Torah forbids the wanton destruction of trees even in time of war and on enemy lapd (See Deuteronomy 20:19). Since Mr. Hurwitz is active both in his synagogue and the Jewish community, there is some disagreement over the propriety and or strategic wisdom of publicly calling upon him to live according to Jewish precepts. This will be our second practice round in striving to reach consensus in gentle, non adversarial dialog where the emphasis is on listening, rather than speaking, and silence is accepted as part of the natural rhythm of group deliberation. Havura Ktana — literally small friendship circle — is for Jews and their friends who seek to explore and or deepen their relationship to Judaism. Visitors are always welcome. Sunday's meeting will be at 1:30 p.m. in Woodville. Call 987-8813 for directions. By DIANA CORBIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I'd like to welcome Page Johanson as the school system publicity coordinator. She will help publicize the special activities at both RCES and RCHS. Lots of exciting learning has been taking place at school. Here are some experiences shared by various teachers. Mrs. Bailey's fifth grade English classes have been learning about Puerto Rico. They have really enjoyed participating in storytelling activities. This was done with musical instruments and great imagination. Mrs. Flinchum's first grade science class has been studying a unit on forces. The students made yachts and had a yacht race. They discovered that moving air is a pushing force and the stronger the moving air, the faster their boats sailed across the water. All went home with blue ribbon certificates, wet shirt sleeves and smiles on their faces. The kindergarten classes have enjoyed two field trips so far this year. On Oct. 11 they visited the Sperryville Fire Department and enjoyed talk on fire safety and a tour of the fire truck. The also visited the Rescue Squad, for a nice snack and a presentation on the Rescue Squad and rescue equipment. The second trip on Oct. 25 was to the Williams Apple Orchard. The nice hosts were Eddie Williams and John Cloud and John’s special friend, "Walt." The children were shown how cider is made and how apples are sorted. Everybody got to take home a bag of apples. Ms. DeLobe's second grade class has enjoyed learning about and reading tall tales. They are also working on comprehension and new vocabulary to prepare them for writing their own stories. In social studies they have enjoyed creating their own pirate maps with landmarks, labeling them and making their own key and having a buried treasure. They use landmarks and a compass to write sequential directions to uncover their hidden treasures. Mrs. Rosenblatt’s sixth and seventh grade art classes are Working on art history projects. They are coloring artists’ portraits, coloring famous paintings and writing summaries of the artists' lives. These projects will be decorating the school hallways. Please look for them. t Reading favorites of Rappahannbck was held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3. The students chose a short story, passages from a book or acted out a character and storyline from a book. They performed on stage to a packed house. This was a fun nonfund raising event sponsored by the PTO which showcased 37 RCHS presenters. Thanks to Cabin Fever Books for their donations and Mrs. Nowakoski, Mr. Smith and Mr. Way for their help. The Book Fair was a great success! Mrs. Massie and Mrs. Klatko send a big "thank you" to all for the community support. The Curriculum Enrichment Program invited Paul Kengmo of Cameroon, Africa, to perform with his African music and dance. He has an assortment of hand-made drums and many other interesting instruments. He gave two performances to grades K-6 of dance and African music. Everyone enjoyed this show tremendously. The next PTO meeting is at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6. The PTO Halloween Fun Fest held on Oct. 25 was great fun. Lots of ghosts and goblins came out for the party. This was a joint effort including parents, older students and the community. Thanks to Sheriff Settle and the deputies for attending the party. Start saving your Safeway and Giant receipts. Boxes for collection are at the Rappahannock National Bank and the Rappahannock Public Library, and there is a box in the RCES main office. Also, save Campbell Soup labels for PE. equipment, school and library items. The Million Pennies Campaign is an ongoing fundraiser for playground equipment. Just drop that unwanted change in jars that are available at Hackley's. Mountainside Market, Baldwin's or the Flint Hill Store. Over $200 has already been collected this year. The Quilt Raffle raised over $800 for playground equipment. Parents and the entire RCES staff bids a fond farewell and best wishes to Mel Paratore who has left RCES. We will miss her greatly. Kelly Shines in Convention Wakefield SchoOl is proud to announce that Alex Kelly of Castleton won three awards at the 1996 National Junior Classical League Convention held at the University of Indiana in Bloomington earlier this fall. Alex, who was one of several Wakefield students in Virginia's delegation to the national Latin competition, is a high school senior. He placed first nationally in Upper Level "Open Certamen" (a Latin competition much like Jeopardy), fifth nationally in Level Four "Roman History," and tenth nationally in Level Four Mythology. "Alex deserves our congratulations for a job truly well done. We are indeed proud of him and his accomplishment for Wakefield and the State of Virginia," said Peter Quinn, Wakefield's headmaster. "We pride ourselves on the well-rounded nature of our students' achievements." Rance Lee Spellman October 29, 1946 - November 9, 1982 He would be fifty this year. We remember him for so much: the high energy and unpredictable creativity; the great joy in work - to him, a privilege; the endless skills - at farming, welding, land clearing, construction; the loyalty to co-worker, employer, friend; his loathing of sham and love of truth; the touch of beauty he left behind on every job. We could never forget.

Not only is the county's share not commensurate with its contribution, it is not even commensurate with its share of the population in the planning district. Now that the county's seniors have their own location, they should receive meals five days a week like seniors in the other counties. Those receiving meals for shut-ins should also see an increase to five days a week. The statistics provided by the CSB are not easy to digest, but on their face they seem to suggest county citizens are receiving less than their share. In most categories county citizens are receiving less than 6 percent of the services while providing 6 percent of the overall population. If such services as residential services for mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse are not going to a proportional population in Rappahannock County because they are not needed, that is fine. If there is some other reason, that needs to be explained. In the meantime county citizens can be proud of their senior volunteers who are contributing hours of volunteer service far in excess of the county's share of the population. School Board Seat The members of the School Board certainly had a challenging job Tuesday night when they had to choose from among four highly qualified candidates to fill the Wakefield District seat left vacant' by Paul Nichols's death. Rosa Crocker has contributed significantly to the county school system as a volunteer. The programs provided at both schools through the Curriculum Enrichment Committee exist primarily because of her fundraising efforts and the time she spends arranging for them. She has also been involved with a steering committee working on creating a foundation to support public education inm Rappahannock. Now she has a chance to contribute as a member of th? board. Hopefully she will not have to drop all her important volunteer activities to do so. Ellen Manson, Roger Welch and Charlotte Nichols would also have been fine additions to the board. Each could have offered a unique perspective, and Ms. Crocker should make the effort to benefit from their views. Wakefield District showed what living in Rappahannock County is all about when four of its citizens were not only willing but eager to serve on the School Board and work for the benefit of the county's children.

Letters to the Editor Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom. Prisoners suffering in iron chains, they stumbled, And there was no one to help. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, And he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of Darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the Lord, for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of Iron. He sent forth his word and healed them. He rescued them from the grave.

SARAH LATHAM Amissville Old Dominion Politics By JOHN GOOLRICK Too much should not be read into the tea leaves left from the recent election in Virginia, yet Republican and Democratic gubernatorial aspirants next year must take note of some of its implications. President Clinton's strong showing, the best by any Democratic presidential candidate here in more than 30 years, may hearten Lt. Gov. Don Beyer who will be the Democratic nominee for governor. And the fact fellow Democrat Mark Warner ran a better than expected race against Republican incumbent Senator John Warner is also good news for Democrats, though his pumping $10 million into his own campaign undoubtedly played a very major role in his performance. But John Warner survived by more than 100.00 votes after two years or relentless attacks from the right wing of his party, furious with him for abandoning GOP nominees for high office in two successive years. One has to wonder if some of those voters.associ a>«;iio«l Boa rtf Meeting U Touch Welcome Aboard! Rosa f ated with the party element extremely hostile to him retaliated by either voting for his opponent this time, or simply voting for no-one in the senatorial race. One lesson becomes clear and should be closely heeded by prospective Republican gubernatorial nominee Attorney General Jim Gilmorea — namely that while the party's right wing can stack conventions and nominate those it wants, it is a paper tiger when it comes to electing its favorites to statewide office and unable to defeat those such as John Warner who often disagree with its considerably right-ofcenter agenda. Gilmore, who some think has cozied up too much to the right wing in recent years, must be able to portray himself as a moderate centrist if he expects to win. But Beyer has problems too. Fredericksburg businessman. W. Rodger Provo, a former aide to Gov. Linwood Holton and a seasoned political observer, says, "Don Beyer is somewhat like Mark Warner in that he doesn't have a clear message or articulate an agenda." Provo found it ironic that Beyer, while campaigning for Mark Warner, sought to exploit the rift between John Warner and the right wing since Warner's refusal to endorse Mike Farris helped elect Beyer. "He has failed to define himself, state his vision of Virginia and to show bold leadership qualities," Provo asserts, adding, "At heart I think Beyer is a Northern Virginia liberal and has the same style of Mark Warrier in that he knows how to run well-funded, big money negative campaigns.” Provo backed Beyer in 1993, but mainly to prevent Farris from winning. I agree with Provo that Beyer's conduct in the recent campaign and his tenure in office give Gilmore an opportunity to appeal to moderate Republicans and independents and, if successful, to place Beyer's appeal to those left of center — a difficult position to win an election in Virginia. Beyer's previous appeal to centrist elements may have been damaged by Kis recent conduct. My assessment is that Gilmore's position is improved in the election's aftermath if he seeks to capitalize on it by adopting pragmatic positions stressing fiscal ingegrity, retaining the highly successful Allen economic development strategies and promoting leaner government that still delivers the services people want. Make no mistake. Don Beyer has proven himself, again like Clinton, an effective campaigner even though his political philosophy may be more often based on expediency than principle. Virginians did nothing to discourage that kind of behavior when they almost let Mark Warner buy the election with negative and misleading ads followed by a barrage of feel-good commericals that revealed only that he was for God, country and apple pie. By contrast, John Warner, a man with convictions and the courage to act upon them, was pilloried mercilessly by his own party's rightist element. Even so, Warner won with 53 percent of the vote in a strange year when the state was almost voting Democratic in the presidential election. The hunch here is that Clinton's star will quickly dim in Virginia and that John Warner has shone a beacon that can be followed by Gilmore and other GOP candidates toward the shore where a majority of voters dwell. But if Gilmore rows his political boat strongly away from the center it may well founder on the same extremist shoals that have dashed the hopes of other statewide candidates, Democrat and Republican alike, in the past.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan JV Wrestling Practice Gets Underway By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer About 25 RCHS students came out for wrestling last week including ^one girl, Sarah Thomas. Coaches Paul Paratore and Jon Heddleston said they have been working the kids really hard, and they are pleased that they are not quitting. "I'm working them harder than they have ever worked before, and they keep coming back," Coach Paratore said. This,is the first year for wrestling , at the high school, and the team will ‘"compete as a junior varsity. More than ^’half those who came out for the team '■this year had never wrestled before. The others, including their own sons, *-‘were involved in a quite successful '-’'youth wrestling program with these f ‘two coaches last year. They have practiced in the elementary school gym from 3:30 to 6 p.m. -“Monday through Friday, but a half hour of that time is involved in setting 3«out the mat in the beginning and putting it away in the end. Coach. Paratore said. Most of the rest has been involved in conditioning exercises and learning „ jnoves. "Wrestling is a very technical • sport. You have to have a base of ‘knowledge,” Coach Paratore said. He " has been trying to cram in that knowledge as quickly as possible, especially "for those new to wrestling. ' Because the emphasis has been on building from a junior varsity, the ' team is loaded with younger students "’wrestling in the lighter weight cate‘’"gories "We don’t have enough of the ’-bigger kids," he said. (l There are 13 weight categories: ■'under 103 pounds, under 112, under '“119, under 125, under 130, under 135, under 140, under 145, under 152, ’“under 160, under 171, under 189, "under 275. “ "We’re loaded in the 103 to 135 weights," Coach Paratore said. (■' The way matches are scored the ’ ’team will have to forfeit any category ■ it cannot enter a wrestler, and a ’wrestler can move up only one weight - category. The other team automatical■’ ly gets six points for a forfeit. - If a wrestler wins a match by under eight points, the team gets three ‘ points. If the win is by eight to 14 ^points the team gets four points, and if <> the win is by 15 points or is the result of a pin, the team gets six points. In the lighter weight categories the students will have to wrestle each other to determine who represents the team in a mateh. If the both schools have more than one wrestler in a particular weight category, there may be exhibition matches before the start of the real match. Each match consists of two three minute periods. Coach Paratore said wrestlers have to be in top physical condition to wrestle intensely for that period of time. If the team is competitive as a JV sport this year, the coaches arc hoping to offer wrestling as a varsity sport next year. "I'm really proud of what they've done so far. By the end of the season, maybe they will be wrestlers," Coach Paratore said.

Allen Calls for Single Trial in Drug Gangs By COVEH SOLAIMANI Capital New* Service RICHMOND — Calling for a tougher stance on drugs. Gov. George Allen plans to ask the 1997 General Assembly to allow the prosecution of drug gang members in a single trial. "With the abolition of parole and the reform of the juvenile justice system, we have taken tremendous strides forward in safeguarding lawabiding Virginians from violent criminals," the governor said. "With that same determination and resolve we also will beat back the pernicious trade and use of drugs." As the state's top officeholder, the Republican governor who helped abolish parole said many prosecutors ““ and lawmen complain that having separate trails diminishes their power in punishing criminals to the law's fullest extent. "[It] hampers their efforts to bring the full weight of the law against members of drug gangs," he said. "It also squanders limited resources to have to try each member of the gang in a separate trial. Kent Willis, executive director of Virginia’s American Civil Liberties Union, said in a telephone interview that a single trial would threaten the defendants' rights because it invites guilt by association. "In spirit, it undermines every fundamental law we have regarding due process,” Mr. Willis said. "Naturally, if you conspire to commit a crime, then there is more than on^ individual involved. But each individ- " ual has the right to their own trial." Mr. Willis contends that a single trial • would create conflicts for the attorneys. "I have talked to criminal attorneys who have been in similar situations and they are not happy with it," he said, adding that he hopes enough legislators will realize the constitutional deficiency in the governor's proposal. Del. Joseph P. Johnson Jr, DAbingdon, said he supports Gov. Allen only if the defendants' constitutional rights can be secured. "I would support that proposal as long as each member can get a fair trial and their constitutional rights aren't affected," he said. "At times that's not possible because some prejudicial statements are made in trial that could affect the other defendants." In supporting Gov. Allen's proposal, Jerry W. Kilgore, secretary of public safety, said state prosecutors should have the same ability as federal prosecutors when trying a drug case. "In the federal system you can try everybody together," said Mr. Kilgore, who has been mentioned as the primary candidate for the Republican attorney general nomination. "Here you might have to have 10 different trials, and that’s not good for your witnesses, and that's not good for the commonwealth's case." Gov.- Allen agreed with Mr Kilgore and Attorney General James S. Gilmore III, who also discussed the issue during the second annual crime forum in Richmond. Gov. Allen" affirmed Mr. Kilgore's statement that single trials would help safeguard witnesses. "We should not hn.\ c a system," he said, "where law entorcement authorities have to persuade a key witness to testify multiple times in multiple trials all involving the same operative "criminal activity. One trial of all the gang members should be enough to achieve justice." The governor's proposal came as no surprise, since the General Assembly previously has killed similar legislation. Del. Johnson, an attorney and a Courts of Justice Committee member, therefore, sees its chances as slim in making it through the upcoming assembly session. "It will probably face the same opposition," he said, noting that the assembly's makeup hasn't changed much in the past two years. While a single trial for drug gang members highlights Gov. Allen's crime-fighting agenda, the governor offered several other recommendations: 1) establish tougher sentencing practices for drug dealers who deal in large quantities.of illicit drugs, 2) reform the grand jury system to increase effectiveness against drug dealers, 3) simplify the process involved in the drug asset forfeiture laws to lessen the profit of drug crime, 4) establish tougher conspiracy statutes to use against drug gangs, 5) expand the Intensified Drug Enforcement Program that enables localities to establish'their own drug enforcement strategies, 6) explore limiting access and provide better lighting in certain neighborhoods to end driverthrough drug deals, 7) create a clearinghouse to assist localities in developing solid intelligence on drug traffickers, and 8) encourage local education programs such as DARE and Class Action to decrease demand for narcotics. Although juvenile justice reform legislation approved last year by the state's legislators has helped decrease crime, the governor said the state can't rest on its laurels. "The, bottom line is that we have ended revolving door justice in Virginia that is preventing crime in our communities and neighborhoods," he said. "In fact, violent crime has decreased by 12 percent since Jan. 1, 1994. "We must build on our earlier successes and step up our efforts against one of the chief causes of violent crime — the scourge of illegal drugs." IBHR During the forum, Mr. Gilmore stressed the need for safer schools and appealed to parents to Show teachers more support. Recalling a situation when his -wife, a former public school teacher, saw a fight between two students but couldn't stop it because she feared negative parental feedback, the attorney general said teachers should be able to discipline students, in good faith and he immune to liability insurance," he said. "I think that's essential. We intend to stand with Virginia’s teachers because they are the central cog in our education today." Mr. Kilgore said he thinks it's important for parents to get involved in every aspect of their children's schools: ^ "[It's important! to develop that trust to let the teachers know that if my kid is out of line you can discipline that kid, and I will back you up at home. I will not come in and make excuses for my child." The attorney general also discussed. the state's need to tackle the drug problem. The Department of Criminal Justice Services' records show that in 1995 there were 3,000 more arrests for marijuana than in 1994. "We need to make people aware it's a problem," Mr. Gilmore said. "The time has come to speak out about the marijuana issue and narcotics as well." Mr. Kilgore sees a major key in fighting the drug problem as education — educating the public on the penalties. "So often when I was prosecuting," he said, "a young kid would be brought in for drug distribution, and he had no idea of what the penalty was." By informing young people of the penalties, he said, they might be less likely to make the mistake. llie Ninth Annual Help Ihc Homeless Walkathon, Saturday, November23.

Virginia's Northern Piedmont Featured in Exhibit, Book By LOUISA WOODVILLE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer More than 500 people, many from Rappahannock, Culpeper, Loudoun and Fauquier counties, gathered at the Smithsonian's Museum of American History in Washington, D C. Friday evening, Oct. 4, to view "Hallowed Ground: Preserving Americas Heritage, a Shared Vision for Virginia's Northern Piedmont," the first national photography exhibit of the nine-county region, ranging from Loudoun in the north to Albemarle in the south. The exhibit, based on a book By author/joumalist Rudy Abramson that waS published this October, features the magnificent photographs of Nali'onal Geographic’s Kenneth Garrett and free-lancer Jack Kotz, who were on hand to sign books throughout the evening. Four big rooms of the museum's third floor were the site of the elegant reception, with the 55 photographs the center of attention and drawing a large crowd. Senator John Warner attended, having himself just returned from a Civil War battlefield in the Shenandoah Valley. The works on view are spellbinding. In one, shrouds of mist hang over the Rappahannock River in a haunting portrayal of Virginia's undulating hills; another is a bird's eye view of a Prince William County cattle farm, its hedgerows symmetrically bisecting the fertile land. Summer lightening in Fauquier County creates a jagged mark against the sky; in another. Culpeper's Brandy Station battlefield spills back toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. The photographs, all of which are featured in the book, celebrate the region’s primeval and cultivated beau ty, from Jefferson's Monticello outside Charlottesville to the Livestock Exchange in Fauquier ' County. Viewers are transported to another world — a world of freshly mowed hay, rushing river currents, and spectacular 18th and 19th century architecture. The works succeed in driving home the organizers’ concerns: create a vision that recognizes the historical significance of these sites and open spaces and plan a place for them in the future. The exhibit, which is tree, runs until February. 1997. The book on which it is based. Hallowed (Jround is available through the Smithsonian Bookstore (Thomasson Grant & Fickle, $40). It can also be ordered through- the Piedmont Environmental Council, P.O. Box 460, Warrenton, Va. 20188. Call (540) 347-2334 for more information.

Woman Killed in Dragway Accident | By KELBY HARTSON , Tima Ntwjpapm SUIT Writer < Since the death of a spectator at [Sumerduck Dragway last weekend, •police officials and racing enthusiasts have raised a number of concerns about the track's safety. ; At a race held at the track Sunday, a • driver lost control of his car, hit a two, foot-high guard rail, went through a ! chain link fence and plowed into the I spectators' bleachers, traveling at about 180 miles an hour. Vickie Lynn Foster of • Fredericksburg was killed instantly; five , other fans were injured. ; Sheriff Joe Higgs said the safety . measures at the track — while perhaps , within the law — are obviously inade; quate. ; "That guard rail, as proven in this • incident, was insufficient," he said. Deputy Mike Lamper agreed. "I don't feel the guard rail did what it's sup• posed to do," he said. . Higgs said the state legislature | needs to look into new laws to tighten up ; the safety measures required of these . tracks. With no local or state laws pro, viding protection for race car spectators, Higgs said, "there's an awful lot left to . speculation as to what's safe and what i isn't safe." ; He stressed that the race track ; appears to be following all existing laws, • and also as a member of the National ; Hot Rod Association, has followed that organization's guidelines for membership. ! "I’m not .saying anybody's at fault ; here. I'm saying here’s a possible tragedy • that could have been avoided if stricter . safety measures had been mandated," ! Higgs said. A similar incident in- Culpeper County sparked a state study on the safe.' ty of spectators at racing events this year. | The Spectator Safety at Racing ; Events study, sponsored by Virginia Del. i David Brickley of Woodbridge, is being conducted by the Virginia Commonwealth University Transportation Safety Center. Roger Curtis, operator of the track, insisted that the dragway is perfectly safe. "The car hit [the guard rail] about i70 miles per hour head-on and it’s still there," he said. "Don’t tell me our track isn't up to safety specifications .... Don't question my safety standards because I know they're right,” he added. "Anything can happen, but all we'* can do is do what the guidelines are,” Curtis said. c. "I've been here 30 years and I've never had a spectator die" before, he r remarked, saying it's not a bad record. "I'd like to have zero." In 1991, a driver died at the track, he noted. He said state legislation would "not really” make Virginia drag racing tracks any safer. "It tears my heart out that this lady ' got hurt,” Curtis said, adding, "I'm glad the little boy's doing better." Warrenton auto racing enthusiast Lynn Windingland and his wife Judy, though, have grave apprehensions about the safety of the Sumerduck Dragway, which is more than 30 years old. "Racing is a.risky sport. There is no doubt that there's risk," said Windingland, "but when you look at it from a spectator safety perspective, Sumerduck falls short." Mrs. Windingland agreed, "You never expect a spectator accident like that," she said. ' The couple's son races at Sumerduck, and was in line to race soon after the wreck occurred. "I would have expected to see him break his car before a 36-year-old woman spectator die," Mrs. Windingland said. The crowd was "stunned," according to Mrs. Windingland. "You don't expect to go out on a Sunday afternoon to a racetrack and see a car flip onto people," she said. "It sure makes me nervous, and I can tell you right now .. I want to be sure that if my son's going to race, he’s at a track with some safety measures." Numerous attempts to reach representatives from the race track were unsuccessful as of press time. Bill Holt of the National Hot Rod Association — which inspects the track to determine whether it meets their safety standards — said he does not know when the track was last inspected. He refused to discuss the matter further. "The incident's currently under investigation. I can't comment," he said. The Windinglands stressed that they know a safe race track when they see one, having been auto racing enthusiasts for 30 years. "This is not just some people in the community complaining. We were there. We saw it. We've been there before," Windingland said. "It's certainly my opinion that the track should be closed." Mrs. Windingland said, calling Sunday's fatal wreck "an accident that did not have to happen." The couple explained that there are a number of unsafe conditions at the track, stressing that the only barrier standing between the track and the audience is a short, metal guard rail and a flimsy, chain-link fence. "There's just a disregard for safety at the track," Mrs. Windingland remarked. "A 3,000-pound car against a chainlink fence? That car's going to go through it,” she said. Sunday's racing event was the Super Street Shoot Out, which accepted cars that run on the street as well as other racier models. For $10 fans received admission for the day's events and access to the pit areas. The Windinglands stressed that the track operators had no control over the spectators, who they feel should not be wandering into the pit areas or close to the chain-link fence. They also said there was no way to identify the track’s employees. "There was no control of the spectators and employees," Lynn Windingland said. "Spectator stands are just within feet of the track, and there seems to be no restriction," he said. People stand right along the fence, which aligns with the race track, according to the Windinglands. The only protection between these spectators and the cars is the short guard rail around the track. "You can stand right at the fence. There are no signs, no restrictions, no control over where you go," Windingland said. "People should not be standing along the fence line." Also, they said the spectator stands are located too close to the race track. "The stands are only maybe two or three steps away from the fence," he said. She added that this accident will wreak havoc dn the minds of all of the witnesses, and particularly the drag race driver involved. "The young man that had this accident has a lifetime of grief," she said. Another race car enthusiast was disturbed by some of the features at Sumerduck Dragway. "I would say the guard rail is too low," said Spencer Dean, 54, of Calverton, who has been coming to the track off and on since he was 18. "The guard rail is not a deterrent; it should be able to take a big whack," Dean said. "And that chain-link fence, a chihuahua could knock that down." Another concern was the track's surface, which he said may have been slick after freezing over the night before. "The track was too cold from last night, when it froze over," Dean said. "We’ve had a whole lot of rain lately and the track hadn’t had enough time to OurJobIsTDHelpYou turn them Into Molehills. One of the sad realities of modern day life is that problems can simply become too big to handle without professional help. If that time comes, remember Pinebrooke-UVa Psychiatric Center.

"They race until the weather gets too bad. usually late November or early December," he added. "It was unfortunate to see this happen at the end of the season. It was a freak accident. I've never seen a bad accident since I've been coming here." It is possible that the car's computerized control prevented the driver from stopping or even slowing down after bouncing off the left guard rail. Modem drag racing cars have something similar to an automatic pilot setting where the acceleration is programmed in advance, making breaking difficult until the driver goes through a preset number of gears. "The cars have all been inspected before racing," Dean said. "The cars are safer than the track." The safety features worked as they were designed — to protect the driver, who wasn't seriously injured. "The car's safety cells activated and there was no fire or .explosion," said James Norris, another spectator. "The rear end of the car is still intact," Dean said. "The roll bar did what it was designed to do. The car took every bit of abuse and held up." "They like to run 100-200 or 250horsepower engines. This track was designed for cars that run under 100 miles per hour, but the fastest ones are going between 100 and 130 miles per hour when they're in the beginning and then they don’t have much time to slow down on the back stretch," Dean noted. The track is 660 feet, from the starling line to the finish line. Sumerduck Dragway plans to hold races again this Sunday. "I don't want to see a race there next weekend," Mrs. Windingland said, adding that the track's safety should be looked into first. Dean felt the tragedy should have been handled more sensitively by the staff. "It's a shame,” Dean said. "I'm not a religious person, but instead of playing country music after the accident, they could have stopped and had a moment of silence or said a prayer." Good Neighbors Photo Courtesy of Mary Wiley Travelers along the Rock Mills Road enjoyed the summer flower display at Flossie and Kinsey Wharton’s. ► Glass From Page A-l One especially nice feature of the gallery is the addition of viewing windows so that visitors will be able to watch the glassblowers at work. Mr. Kvames suggests calling ahead to be sure of seeing glassblowing in action, as studio production schedules may vary. The lower floor of the gallery showcases the work of all the Oldway artists. "At one end is a freeform stone wall and fountain with plants to give a reminder of the lush forests nearby," said Mr. Kvames. The upstairs will host various art shows changing on a monthly basis. The first one will feature the work of photographers Fred and Lara Ellis of Luray. The show will consist of black and white figure studies. This is their first major show in the east, and Mr. Kvames said he is proud to have relatively unknown work of this quality. . "It is important to have the work of artists that have hit their stride in quality, but don't quite have the name they deserve yet.” said Mr. Kvames. The longtime problem of access to the gallery has been solved by Mr. Kvames and friend Michael Doyle. They designed and built a bridge incorporating the towers of a 1934 ferris wheel which had been abandoned in the former junkyard. “It has quickly become a Sperryville landmark." said Mr. Kvarnes. Glassworks Gallery is located on U S. 211 across from Mountainside Market. During the grand opening, glassblowing demonstrations will be given and visitors will be able to meet many of the exhibiting artists. Refreshments will be served. Regular gallery hours are' Thursday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 987-8474.

► Schools From Page A-l Ms. Crocker has been an active volunteer at the elementary school where her two children attend. She has been actively involved with raising funds and scheduling programs for the Curriculum Enrichment Committee. She was one of the founding members of the First Thursday Education Support Group and has also been involved with the steering committee working to establish a foundation to support public education in the county. She told the board, "I am committed to seek a rich, varied educational experience for the next generation. Education is not about politics; it is not about taxes. I am honored to be among those considered." William Dietel said he and his wife supported Ms. Crocker. He said as a member of the steering committee she listens to all sides before forming an opinion. He noted that as someone who runs a business with her husband Jay Monroe "she realizes it is important to make income and outgo balance. She would be a good member of your team." Ms. Manson said she had administrative experience and experience in child and adolescent counseling. "I want to provide the best education our budget will allow." She said she would listen to the voters. She said she had worked hard for the seat during the election and would like the chance to serve. Mrs. Nichols said, "I would like to complete Paul's term." She said she had come to Rappahannock County in 1950 as the music teacher for 11 schools and stayed for six years. After taking time out to contribute three sons to the school system she returned to teaching adult education. After contributing a daughter to the system, she finished her teaching career in Warren County where she taught at both the high school and the middle school. She said, "I understand it is necessary to be fiscally responsible and make the best possible use of our resources." Pete Jenkins supported Mrs. Nichols saying she taught him music when she first came. "I would like to see her on the board if it is in any way possible," he said. Phil Lamma also supported Mrs. Nichols saying she was the best qualified with her background in education. Nelson Atkins said, "I was here when Mrs. Nichols came. I would like to see her continue Paul's term." Roger Welch said he greatly regretted Mr. Nichols's death. He noted that he had been involved in founding the Athletic Boosters Club which had raised about $30,000 for the school sports program. "I would like to be considered, but Mrs. Nichols also has my full support," he said. Board Chairman John Tole noted, "This is an awkward situation for everyone. It is an unusual situation, and I appreciate you all for your interest." Hampton District representative Bryant Lee noted that they had to choose between "four good people. It will be difficult to make a decision." Following the executive session Mr. Tole said the board members had considered sneaking out a back door, and Mr. Lee said he had wanted to be the first one out. "Consider our situation in trying to make a decision that by necessity cannot please everyone," Mr. Tole said. "We are fortunate to have a board so balanced in its viewpoint." . Although the vote was unanimous in open session, it was obvious that the board had started out split and it took time to agree on a candidate.

The members were interested in pursuing this idea by visiting places where the firm had done business. Robert Moore, resident engineer at the VDOT Warrenton office, attended the meeting to speak on the problem rainwater runoff from the elementary school is having on property belonging to Carolyn Butler. Mr. Moore said VDOTs obligation is only to keep the culvert open so water can pass under the road. He said that water naturally drains from 4he elementary school onto that property. Mrs. Butler said it had not been a problem before the school was built, and it was made worse by the addition. She said she wanted to work out an agreeable solution with the board, but the school was responsible for controlling its runoff and should build a pond to hold it. The board asked Superintendent David Gangel to make a report. Sheriff Gary Settle and Capt. Jeff Brown made a presentation on a new program to acquaint students with laws that can affect them. It will be presented in eighth and eleventh grades and perhaps to seniors as well. The program will require two of the 90-minute class periods. The board approved adding the program to the curriculum, noting the Sheriffs Office has provided solid programs to the schools and had a . good relationship with students. The board also tentatively approved the senior clas9 trip to Seven Springs Resort in Pennsylvania and heard a report on the high school math curriculum and work with kindergarten and first graders to better prepare them for taking standardized tests. Dr. Gangel reported that Quarles Petroleum will remove the fuel tanks for the buses over the summer and the board will have to consider an above ground tank for its next budget. ► Welfare From Page A-l Supervisors the department was able to get a grant of $15,000 for "family preservation." In some cases the child or children are removed from the home and placed in foster care. She said in the past there were few foster care homes in the county and children were removed from their communities as well as their families. Now the depart ment has local foster care • homes for children, Mrs. Leathers said. In some cases parental rights are terminated and the children become eligible for adoption, and the department oversees that also, she said. The department also oversees adult protective services, mostly aimed at the elderly and mentally retarded. Frequently these are cases of self abuse or neglect, she said. Again a social worker works with families to help keep these people in their homes. Often providing companion services a few hours a day or a few hours a week can enable an elderly person to stay in their home. She said this program is a priority in Rappahannock County. A new program is being piloted to serve juveniles assigned to the program by the counts. Mrs. Leathers said a few years ago the department was seeing a dramatic increase in juveniles out of control and appearing in court. "Week after week I was sitting in court wondering 'what to do with this child?’" she said. She said the juvenile judge often assigned these children to foster homes, and that was not where they belonged. The department has parenting education programs and works with families. But this school year the department received a two-year federal grant to start an after school program. Kevin Almond, director of the after school program called EDGE, attended the library program and explained what he is trying to do. r Students assigned to EDGE by the juvenile judge are transported in school buses from the high school to the elementary school where they are in the program from 3:30 until 7 p.m. There they get a snack and a chance to unwind. Then they are expected to do homework. On Mondays they discuss life skills. He said this month they are working on developing career goals. On Tuesdays they discuss with their peers anything they want to discuss. He said those mostly become discussions of relationships. Often the students complain that some teacher is responsible for them being in the program. "I tell them, You put yourself in here,'" Mr. Almond said. He said the program is punishment, but he tries to make it therapeutic as well. On Wednesdays the students perform some community service.-Mr. Almond said they are washing blackboards, sweeping the floors and cleaning windows. "I try to get them to realize this is their community," Mr. Almond said. On Thursdays parents arc required to attend with their children, and major discussions ensue. Mr. Almond said some of the children come from families where the parents have problems with alcohol and drugs and they are "self parenting." He said as a result of the program some parents are in treatment programs. Once a month, Mr. Almond arranges some recreation for the students. He is trying to schedule horseback riding because he discovered some of these country children have never ridden horses. "I want to show them they can have fun and do positive things.” He said the students will stay in the program a minimum of four months, but their sentences are indefinite. He said the students can work their way out of the progrant by making progress in it, and he mostly wants them to leam to take responsibility for their actions. So far he is serving two students, he said, but he expects the program to grow and to* serve up to eight at a time and about 22 over the school year. — By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Alice Pullen, one of the seniors who takes advantage of the nutrition site, made this cake for the first day’s lunch. ► CSB From Page A-l while Rappahannock County is not asked to increase its contribution. However, at press time figures on localities contributions to the current budget were not available. For fiscal 1996 contributions from the counties totaled nearly $400,700, or about 40 percent of the CSB's budget of $10.1 million. This summer Mr. Duncan provided the supervisors with a wealth of statistics on the programs covered by the CSB and the relative share of the various counties in these programs. Rappahannock accounts for 6 percent of the population in the area covered by the agency, but generally accounts for less than 6 percent of the services provided. The county has a population with a higher percentage of elderly people than is true Of the planning district as a whole. For the senior nutrition sites Rappahannock, with only 19 clients, accounted for 7 percent of the clients but only 5 percent of the meals served. With a handicapped accessible site the county's share of seniors receiving this service is expected to grow. The discrepancy between percentage of clients and percentage of meals is apparently because meals are served in Rappahannock three times per week while they are served five days a week in the other counties. Besides the meals provided at the nutrition site, the CSB also oversees a program of delivering meals to seniors who are not able to get out. With 22 clients and 2,590 meals in fiscal 1996, Rappahannock accounted for 5 percent of the clients and 4 percent of the meals. The Community Services Board also provides mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services for the general population. In outpatient mental health services Rappahannock County seems to be getting more than its fair share. With 2,418 clients, the county accounted for 8 percent of clients, served by the CSB. For other mental health services, however, the county's percentage was lower than its percentage of the population. With eight clients in parent/infant education, the county received 7 per-; cent of the CSB services in that area of mental retardation, but generally the; county had a lower percentage of clients receiving services for mental retardation than its 6 percent of the population of the area. In substance abuse the countyequalled its population percentage! with 6 percent of the outpatient ser-; vices, but again generally in the area of substance abuse, the county had less than 6 percent of the clients served. One area where county citizensare contributing far above the expect-! ed level is the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. County seniors volunteered 8,437 hours in fiscal 1996, 15 percent of the total for the area served by the CSB. Editor's note: This story- continues a series on the relationship between the county and the Community Services Board.

• Community News • Obituaries % v Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13,1996 inn Cookbook Debuts at Gala Party In D.C. By CINDY MAHAN , ' Rappahannock News Staff Writer »; Residents of "Big" and "Little" Washingtons turned out to celebrate tvith chef Patrick O’Connell upon the release of his cookbook at a cocktail reception held in "Big" Washington last Wednesday evening. The book, entitled The Inn at Little Washington Cookbook: A Consuming Passion, is lavishly illustrated with color photographs of Rappahannock County scenes, people and animals, and most of the food in the recipes. Especially for those familiar with Rappahannock County and lovers of the countryside, the book is as much a picture book as it is a cookbook. Chef O'Connell ordered 5,000 copies of the book to sell at The Inn over a three year period, but he said it looks as if the books will be selling a lot quicker then expected, and they may soon have to place another order. Some corporations, he said, have bought 1,000 books, and they all need to be signed by him. That in itself is keeping the chef busy, besides his cooking duties and travels for other book signings. He feels the book appeals to a variety of people, from professional chefs to culinary students to home cooks, and still others who enjoy it for its visual beauty. The book was a long time in the works. In an article Chef O'Connell wrote for the October issue of Food Arts, he said, "There were moments when producing the book felt like having a baby by caesarean section and auctioning it off to the high bidder." Chef O'Connell was first contacted about doing the book by Random House editor Jason Epstein, who had seen an article by Patricia Wells in the International Herald Tribune naming The Inn one of the top three restaurants in America. The two studied several recently-published cookbooks to. decide what The Inn's cookbook should look like. They chose Chicagobased photographer Tim Turner to photograph the book after marveling at his photographs in chef Charlie Trotter's cookbook. All of the photographs were taken within 15 miles of The Inn. "Tim Turner could not believe their was such a wealth of opportunity so close," said Chef O'Connell. Perusers of the book will recognize many scenes and faces, including Jordan River Farm in Huntly and Goat Hill Organic Farm in Washington. Many of the props for the photographs were lent by the Sperryville Antique Market. "We talked a lot about a cover concept. I wanted to be photographed hanging out of a cloud with my dog Rose looking down over a mountain road leading to the Inn, as if we were watching to see who was coming to visit us," said Chef O'Connell in the Food Arts article. That proved to be too much of a challenge, especially dealing with a netvous dalmation. The cover ended up with a painting by Guy Buffet of The Inn and the surrounding town; the original hangs in the lobby of the restaurant. The party in Washington, D.C. last week was held for food journalists, fellow chefs, restauranteurs, and friends, supporters and clients from both Washingtons. The front lobby of the DAR Continental Hall was decorated with the woodbuming red cookstove that Chef O'Connell first learned to cook on. The library in the hall was set with several large tables fancily decorated and set with platters of food prepared from recipes in the cookbook. Some of the dishes offered were Crispy Seared Foie Gras on Polenta With Country Ham and Blackberries, Chilled Charcoal Grilled Salmon in a Mustard Seed Crust, Timbales of Fresh Crabmeat and Spinach Mousse, and Risotto with 'Shrimp, Oyster Mushrooms and Country Ham. The Perrier-Jouet champagne flowed freely, as well as Linden Vineyards Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Late Harvest Vidal Riesling. A separate dessert table was set up with many desserts, among them White Chocolate Mousse and Mattie Ball Fletcher's original recipe for Candied Grapefruit Rind. Chef O'Connell told his‘ guests the story about his original wood-burning cookstove. It was the only source of heat in his and Reinhardt Lynch's Mr. O'Connell signs copies of the book for jazz vocalist Maija Rejman and arts administrator Sara picillo. Drawing Class Scheduled Registrations are now being accepted for the Winter session of the Figure Drawing Class conducted by Ned Bittinger, award winning artist, instructor, and illustrator.

When The Inn opened, it was brought in to use for displaying the desserts. "One Mother's Day a party of four with their 80-year-old mother arrived without a reservation, and unable to say no, Reinhardt seated them at the stove. It then became clear that the stove was occupying valuable revenue space and it gave way to a table. The little red stove unhappily went back home to the farm," he said. Two years ago the stove was stolen from the farmhouse, said Chef O'Connell, and "Because the thieves couldn't get the stove out the doorway they smashed right through the kitchen wall for an exit." Messrs. O'Connell and Lynch traced it to a Delaware antique shop. "Ever since, it has been held as evidence in the Sheriffs Office of Madison County awaiting the trials of the burglars. It was only allowed out by special dispensation of the Commonwealth’s Attorney to be here tonight," explained Chef O'Connell. The cookbook is for sale in The Inn's new gift shop on Main Street, located in the small building which was most recently the Ragged Mountain Resource Center, along with a new line of gift items. Also for sale will be the Sunday New York Times. The shop is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. The following recipes from the new book are sure to please your guests during the holiday season: Sweet Potato Soup With Rum Cream Serves 10 3 tbsp. butter 1 medium-size onion, coarsely chopped 9 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade 1 tsp. curry powder 5 to 6 medium-size sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried Pinch of cayenne pepper 1 cup cream 1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg Salt and white pepper to taste Rum Cream 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/4 tsp. grated lemon zest 3 tbsp. good-quality dark rum Pinch of sugar In a 6-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and curry powder and cook for about six minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, heat the stock to a simmer. Add the sweet potato to the onion, then add the heated stock, maple syrup, thyme, and cayenne. Cook until the sweet potato is soft, about 25 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs from the soup, puree the soup in small batches, and strain. Return the soup to the heat and add the cream, nutmeg and salt and pepper. . Transfer the soup to individual bowls and serve with a dollop of Rum Cream. Rum Cream In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the lemon juice and zest, rum and sugar. Continue whipping until the cream is almost stiff. Refrigerate until ready,to serve. Pumpkin Ice Cream Makes 2 quarts 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp. ground allspice 1 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. ground ginger 1 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups milk 2 1/2 cups pumpkin puree 1 quart heavy cream 4 tsp. vanilla extract In the top of a double boiler or in a stainless steel bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, confectioners’ sugar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart saucepan, scald the milk. Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture. Whisk in the pumpkin, cream and vanilla. Strain the custard through a fine sieve. Chill in the refrigerator, then freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.

RAAC Movie This Weekend Because some people may want to attend the program Friday night on the history of the Town of Washington and some may want to attend the Child Care and Learning Center's auction Saturday evening, the RAAC Friday night movie series will be presenting Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision both Friday and Saturday nights., t This movie is a documentary portrait, by director Frieda Lee Mock, of the architect whose works include the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and the Civil Rights Memorial, in Montgomery, Alabama. The movie starts at 8 p.m. Iwth nights. Miss Lin was an undergraduate architecture student at Yale 14 years ago when she undertook the D.C. memorial competition as a class project. Her astonishing story has become justifiably famous: an unknown 20-year-old student beats out 1,420 other entrants in America's largest-ever design competition, and then endures ferocious attacks. In the end, Miss Lin's creation disarmed the critics, and helped veterans and many others come to terms with the war and its costs. There is an indescribably mystery embodied in Miss Lin's works — a transformative magic. Miss Lin sums it up in a recent talk: "I think art is somewhat magical because you might not know what you're looking for before you find it."

The Love and Logic parenting principles are a win-win approach to teaching children how to be responsible. Children win because they learn how to solve their own problems and gain confidence to meet challenges. Adults win because they learn how to establish health controls without resorting to anger, threats, nagging or exhausting power struggles. The next series of classes will be offered on Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Nov. 19, 26 and Dec. 3 at Rappahannock Cooperative Extension Office, 2nd floor of Washington Arts Building on Gay Street, Washington, Va.

At the end of a shift when he got home, the miner put away his lamp and opened up his lunch bucket. From it he would remove two uneaten peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Each day he would eat whatever was packed in his lunch, but would not touch the two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as long as he was down in the mines. More so in the old days than today, there was always the threat of a disaster occurring. For this reason, he saved the two sandwiches. It meant hope of survival, something to eat, should he ever become trapped. The miner knew well he must always save something in reserve. There are two things we must count on. First, prayer is the peanut butter that satisfies our hunger in time of need and the jelly that sweetens our life. Secondly, worshiping in God's house is our spiritual lamp. Pray daily and attend services frequently. Sandwich them together. They are the mainstays of religious sustenance.

Delicious Pies That Are Easy and Enjoyable To Make By BARBARA C. WAYLAND Rappahannock Nm Staff Writer Homemade pies "like mother and grandmother used to make"! Doesn't that excitement and anticipation make your mouth water? Most good cooks will tell you it’s all in the pastry. Some will say that pastry making is not such a difficult culinary task, if you don’t add too much water, start with cold utensils, don’t handle the dough too much and the list goes on. For many of us it's easier to buy that prepared crust and then let our experiences and imaginations run wild with the fillings. However, since most of the fun is in the pastry, following is a recipe I have used for years and it always seems to work. And, yes I use cold utensils, the minimum amount of water needed to hold the dough together and I don’t grease the pie pan, tin or dish. Make sure to fit the dough smoothly to the dish so no air is enclosed. Plain Pastry 2 cups pastry flour or 1 3/4 cups bread flour 1/2 cup cold shortening 1 teaspoon salt Approximately 3/4 cup cold water Sift flour and salt; cut or rub in shortening; add the cold water gradually, adding just enough to hold the dough together. Let chill for 20 minutes. Divide dough in two parts and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness on a slightly floured board. Line pie tin, crimp edge with thumb and finger; prick sides and bottom with fork to preserve the shape. Bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F) for 12 to 20 minutes. For a two crust pie, line the pie tin with pastry, moisten rim with cold water, add filling and cover with top crust which has incisions cut in it to allow the escape of steam. Press edges of upper and lower dough together, trim off excess and bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F). This recipe makes 2 crusts. The following basic recipes have been tried and have easy directions for making. The first two recipes are my favorites and the last four recipes are favorites from Ann Brown of Woodville. Lemon Meringue Pie 2 cups water 3 tablespoons com starch 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 4 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 1 teaspoon salt Line pie plate loosely with pastry and bake quickly until light brown. Put water on to boil; mix com starch, flour and sugar with 1/2 cup cold water until smooth; mix in 6gg yolks; add slowly to boiling water. Cook five minutes, stirring constantly; add lemon juice, rind and salt. Pour into baked crust. Beat egg whites; add three tablespoons sugar and one teaspoon baking poser and spread thickly on top of pie. Bake in hot oven about five minutes until light brown. Custard Pie 1 1/2 tablespoons Hour 4 tablespoons sugar 1/8 teaspoon sail 2 eggs 2 cups scalded milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Few grains nutmeg Plain pastry Mix flour, sugar, slat and wellbeaten eggs together. Add the scalded milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Line a pie pan with Plain Pastry and pinch with fingers to make a fancy edge. Pour in the custard mixture and bake in a quick oven (425 degrees F) 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a slow oven (300 degrees F) and bake 20 minutes, or • until custard is firm. When done, a sil ver knife, inserted, will come out clean. Apple Cranberry Pie Pastry for 9-inch two crust pie 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 4 cups pared, sliced, tart apples 2 cups Ocean Spray fresh or frozen cranberries (whole or chopped) 2 tablespoons butter or margarine Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In large bowl, combine sugars, flour and cinnamon. Add fruit. Mix well. Turn into pastry-lined pan. Dot with butter. Cover and cut slits in top crust. Seal edges. Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown. Pecan Pie One unbaked 9-inch pie crust Filling: 3 eggs 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup butter melted 1 cup dark com syrup 1 cup pecan halves Beat eggs, sugar, salt, melted butter and com syrup together with rotary beater. Add pecan halves. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Bake until set and pastry is nicely browned. Cool. Serve cold or slightly warm. Set oven on 375 degrees F. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Chocolate Cream Pie Baked 9-inch pie shell 1/2 cup cocoa 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 tablespoons com starch 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 cups milk Mix cocoa, sugar, corn starch and salt in medium saucepan; Add milk gradually.

November at Thistle Hill Inn / By MARIANNE WILSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A small but enthusiastic group signed up for the first free pastry class at Thistle Hill. Classes were provided for a minimum of two and maximum of six participants. Given their commitment, an additional project was started with completion planned for the second week. The class brought home recipes and samples of garlic bread and sour cream coffee cake. Charles Wilson demonstrated pasta making, and the group enjoyed the outcome for lunch. The coffee cake provided refreshment at coffee break. The group also participated in the demonstration and preparation of a genoise and joconde for the base and sides of a Strawberry Charlotte. Armed with recipes the participants will each prepare their own genoise and joconde to bring to the next week class. Then the rest of the charlotte will be prepared. Using their own ingredients and pans, the resulting "work of art" will return of their home dining table. Sweet and savory crepes, tart and pie pastry will round out the day. In addition to Charles and Marianne, Betty Wilson, wife of Charles A. Wilson Jr., demonstrated preparation and shared the.class experience. Betty and her husband, (known as Arthur to avoid confusion" have joined with Charles and Marianne in the running of Thistle Hill. Arthur and Betty expressed an interest in innkeeping this past summer, and never ones to let an opportunity slip by, Charles invited them to test that interest in a 10 day early October stint on Thistle Hill. Having survived the ordeal with Hying colors, Arthur and Betty returned to Florida and in record time settled their affairs, rented their house and moved up to Virginia. , Both strong "people persons" they are lending their culinary talents and work ethic to the demands of running a small country inn. Betty excels in "Southern Cooking" which will soon find its way onto the Thistle Hill menu. Arthur’s fine hand will be seen in the ground work — he is currently struggling with the trees downed by "Fran” — and in the Great Room, where he has taken over the supervision of the part-time wait staff. He keeps the kitchen on its toes. Plans have been made for Thanksgiving. Dinner will be traditional offering full meal at $15.95 for adults, half price for children under twelve and children four and under eat free. The meal will consist of appetizer, turkey and dressing, potatoes and gravy, seasonal vegetables, salad, rel*ishes, breads and butter, and assorted desserts. Dinner is strictly by reservation.

Keeping Promises Made to Children Is Important. Necessary By WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer From the earliest memories of a person, no doubt will come to mind, ,things done or seen that were out of ,the ordinary or otherwise impressed (the young mind so that it remains many years after the event occurred. The recalling of the event may take on high or missed elements in retelling it but the fact the memory is there is worthy in itself that it made that much of an impression. i. Does it have to be a good memory to remain in the mind so long? One answers no. Neither does it have to be .something done or out of the ordinary that will linger with the person so involved. It could be the character, or .worse the words of the character that will impact young minds in one way or another. What I'm getting at is plain and simple, and an often over looked fact. The fact is that most adults don’t keep their word of promise to very young .people, let alone taking time to realize that out very actions, deeds, words, -etc. are being witnessed by these little ipeople all the time. Perhaps if we , ignore them long enough, keep putting 'off doing whatever it is, long enough, •-they’ll forget about it, or worse learn .that we are liars. Aware of being left out on lots of things in my own life, I vowed that I'd never, knowingly, not keep my word to a child. Nor, would I /lot try to show as much attention, affection and understanding as possible. Which brings me to the reason for -this story. Back in mid summer, several of my nephews and niee'es were begging me to go hiking. During this time of year the danger of snake bite is too real, but I promised that as soon as it turned cooler and the leaves were off the trees I'd take them. This is typical S)f my nephews and nieces to want their uncle to do things with them. Whether we're at grandma’s throwing frisbee, or just walking down to the .creek and back, these are things they want to include me in. I ask myself, "why me?" My answer is that because I take the time to do them. Perhaps I tend to override their parents' rules a little too, still the accompanying adult is necessary these days and besides I love doing things with them, i. Fall finally arrived and upon every .■visit I heard the resounding question, "when are we going hiking?" I gave in. !

By 10 a.m. I had. my Jeep loaded with my sister, Rebecca, and her three children; Jeffrey, Charles and Krystal; and my other sister's (Connie's), son, Joshua. All of the kids were under twelve years old, the youngest was three. We drove to Skyline Drive and parked at the Hull School Trail. Down in the valley, Thornton Hollow, is the cemetery where our ancestor, George Robert Baldwin is buried. There too are his wife, Mary Dwyer Baldwin, and a sister-in-law, Thompsie Dwyer Kendall. This is known as the John Henr^ Waters, or Barbara Bowen cemetery. I had even made a tombstone from two eighty pound bags of cement and carved the name, date and age of George on it. After it was hardened enough a trip was planned and those of us who went, made a make-shift stretcher to carry that 160 pound slab the mile or so to the cemetery. No small task, but accomplished as determined. Many years ago a great-uncle of mine had promised to take me there. After my interest in family history had taken such a hold. I'd discovered that my great-uncle. Daniel Baldwin's father-in-law, Luther Weaver had been a pallbearer at the funeral of my greatgreat-grandfather, George R. Baldwin back in 1914. I had to go there. Uncle Daniel, upon Mr. Weaver's directions had found the cemetery and he kept his word to me and took me there too. This was back in the early 70's. Now, it was my turn to keep a promise and to lend something to the young, restless, inquiring minds of the 90's. Sister end I took turns carrying Krystal and or the back pack. Although I assume that they were not the least bit interested in what they were going to see, let alone remember even a fraction of what I fold them, I was keeping my promise to them. Making use of the 1929 map I had, which showed the old roads, houses, and streams and terrain. I carefully explained to the kids how to use the map. Showed them how to tell directions by moss being on the north side of a tree, that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and other things valuable to "hikers." I though I did a very good job, and that it would be of special interest to Jeffrey who’d just become a Webelos scout. Well, at least the interest in carrying the map became evident, and had to devise a plan that would satisfy three children. Letting two take turns with the map and giving the third a pen and paper to take notes on. After our visit to the cemetery where we had some snacks and took a picture, and explaining or answering a barrage of questions (to the best of my ability) we headed north. I wanted to try and locate another old house site that I'd not found before. The old road being exactly were the map indicated, though you don't see the downed trees, etc. on the map. We followed the road, the same road that branched off Hull School Trail down into Thornton Hollow, for about a quarter mile where it forked. One fork going north toward Elk Wallow, the other going north-east down into the valley. We followed the northern most route approximately another mile and crossed two spring branches and finally came to one of the upper branches or headwaters of the Thornton River. Here the road seemed to disappear so I suggested that my sister and the kids wait here until I scouted around to see if I could find anything. Using the map I went across the creek and around a hill, eventually finding the road again, and came upon the place where once stood a house, at least the bricks strewn about told me this. There had been many fruit trees near this place, especially pears and apples. I memorized the area, for the future, ahd decided that I'd been, gone just long enough to make the others get a little too nervous. While I'd been gone, one child had wetted his pants, another found the need to go to the bathroom backwoods style, and another had gotten hung up while climbing around on some downed tree limbs. We were now ready for the trail back up the mountain. Having carried Krystal the whole way wasn't too bad, as Rebecca and I took turns, but now Charles' legs were given out too. "Becky" gave the back pack to Joshua and Jeffrey, and she and I took turns in toting Charles and Krystal nearly the whole way back. We made many stops to catch our breath, sometimes exchanging the one kid for the other on our backs, then heading on. After loading up again, we drove to the Elk Wallow Wayside and got some drinks, stopping at a few of the overlooks coming back. The kids being fascinated by our sighting two deer. Another photo at Thornton Hollow Overlook, where I showed them by pointing where we'd been. It had grown much cooler now, but what a nice day to have kept my promise to the kids. Will they remember what they saw, what they were told that day? Perhaps. Will they remember that I kept my word to them? Certainly !

Raised Beds Make Gardening Accessible By DR. DIANE RELF Extmrion Comamcr HortfcaMuM Gardening is the number one outdoor, leisure time activity of America, with 84 percent of households involved in at least one form of gardening activity. Gardening is a source of personal satisfaction and pride providing esthetic pleasure and opportunity for relief from daily stress. Make the Garden Fit the Gardener Gardening is an ideal preventative therapy to maintain personal well being. With a little planning and creativity, it can be available to everyone, including the disabled or elderly. With proper modification to the site, gardeners who have lost physical ability can continue this valuable activity, said Diane Relf, horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension at Virginia Tech. An increasing number of gardeners are discovering the advantages of gardening in planters, containers* and raised beds which can be readily adapted to make gardening easier for disabled and elderly gardeners. They are equally adaptable for gardening in a small backyard, a third floor apartment patio, on top of a hospital, or on the grounds of a retirement home. The first step in planning a raised garden is understanding the needs and abilities of the gardeners. The garden area should be as small as possible to adequately meet these needs. As the garden size increases, the fun of gardening tends to change to drudgery. AH of the raised beds or planters should be easily accessible and arranged in a fashion to fit together as an attractive landscape unit. Avoid the tendency to line up little garden plots in rows resembling grave yards. Trees and shrubs can be used to enclose one or more sides of the raised garden site, providing both privacy and a pleasing backdrop, but avoid shading the garden with excessive plantings. Suggested Sizes To Permit Easy Reach Beds and planters can be designed to fit individual needs. Raised beds generally are 3 to 4 feet wide and as long as desired. However, depending on the individual's strength and endurance, it would be wise to limit the length of the bed to 10 to 20 feet to prevent overexertion in circling the bed. Many different materials are available to be able to adapt and create raised planters the suit the needs of disabled individuals. List of Advantages • Planters can be located for easy accessibility and used in areas where plants would not otherwise grow such as downtown on roof gardens. • Focusing attention on small, easily managed areas provides success and feeling of achievement and reduces frustration and feeling of being overwhelmed by a large garden. • Planters can be placed at a height that gives disabled individuals maximum gardening space within normal reach. • Raised planters can be either permanent or temporary structures depending on the desires and needs of the gardener. • A wide variety of plants can be used. • Planters can be built to be mobile to adjust to available sun or move out of the way during other activities. • Problems of poor soil or soilborne disease can be overcome easily. • Planters drain well, warm quickly, thus producing early crops. • Seedlings can be started in small, mobile planters indoors and brought out when the weather is appropriate, thus extending the growing season. • Planters offer opportunities for innovative landscape ideas and creative plant structures, such as walls of plants.

CMH Provides Free Clinic With Home Culpeper Memorial Hospital is providing the Free Clinic of Culpeper with a home of their own. Office space in the Medical-Professional Building on the hospital grounds renovated by the hospital for the Free Clinic opened on June 20. "We are proud to make this space available to help the Free Clinic," said Jim Rutkowski, Culpeper Memorial Hospital vice president of finance. "The Free Clinic is an important part of health care in our community, and providing this space is certainly within the hospital's mission." "We thank the Health Department for loaning us space since we opened to get our services started. We would not have been able to operate without their support,” said Roberta Brown, executive director of the Free Clinic. Viewtown Activities Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Woodard who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday, negr.i..i.jl .kjir.'■"'■i By GLADYS DODSON 937-49M Nov. 3. Best wishes for many more happy years together. Belated birthday wishes are extended to John Henry Woodard who celebrated his day on Saturday, Nov. 2 and to Charles H. Dodson Jr. who celebrated his day on Friday, Nov. 1. Have a great week!

"We are grateful to Culpeper Memorial Hospital and excited about our new home," said Dr. Amauri Gonzales, president of the board of directors. "We are so fortunate to have such a responsible and generous institution in this community that helps with the health care needs of our citizens." Located on the first level of the Medical-Professional Building at 610 Laurel Street, the Free Clinic's new quarters make the clinic much more efficient and responsive. Clinic personnel and volunteers are available during weekdays to answer patients' questions, answer the telephone, sort mail, make up new medical charts, copy requests for medical records, and work with the Indigent Patient Drug Program (free medicine for indigent patients). With patient charts in the building, clinic personnel arc able to access the charts and respond to requests for lab reports and copies of records. "Having the clinic's computer in the building gives us immediate access to information about patients and their office visits," said Brown. Financial and eligibility screening may be done during the day to relieve the rush on Thursday night clinics. "We also have a more complete referral center," explained Brown. "We refer patients to physicians for follow-up visits and to other medical and social services as needed. Often we see children in the clinic who arc eligible for Medicaid, and it is easier for us to assist parents in completing the paperwork." Patients are able to drop off their prescriptions at the clinic during the week and collect the filled prescriptions and refills the following Thursday evening or any day thereafter. Clinic personnel are able to reduce waiting time at Thursday night clinics by performing simple weight and blood pressure checks for patients during the day. The larger waiting room has a separate area for children who find toys, books and videos to entertain them. The additional number of patient exam rooms improves patient flow. Heaving the pharmacy in the same building also improves the quality of care. With a pharmacy tech and a computer, the service is more efficient. Eventually, the clinic would like to add one morning a week for pharmacy refills. Brown has hopes to increase the number of medical clinics. "For example, we may add clinics in August for school physicals, hold a gynecology clinic, or others as needed. We will also continue the Tuesday clinic which is staffed by nurse practitioners for chronic problems." In addition, the clinic has plans to hold patient education classes on health topics for their patients. "We also invite community support for assistance in literacy and financial management," added Brown. The Free Clinic of Culpeper opened in November 1992, in space borrowed from the Health Department on Thursday nights. In addition to offering this space for the clinic, Culpeper Memorial Hospital provided over $63,800 in services to patients of the Free Clinic during 1995 and over $44,200 in 1994.
