Stewardship, Act Troubles Farmers Anonymous Complaints Could Bring on Fines By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock farmers were stewing about the new Agricultural Stewardship Act (ASA) at a meeting last Thursday night. Over 80 farmers and concerned citizens showed up to hear how the law may affect them and to voice their concerns. The ASA has been established to monitor water pollution caused by agricultural activities. It was discussed in detail by Wilmer Stoneman of the Virginia Farm Bureau; Agriculture Stewardship Coordinator Glenn Martin, and Rappahannock County SWCD Director Dick McNear. Mr. Wilmer explained that the ASA was "bom" in the Farm Bureau, which he described as a grassroots organization. He said, "Our goal wals a farmer-friendly program to address water quality." He believes that 95 percent of farmers are trying to do the right thing on their farm. "How do we address those people that give the entire industry a bad name?" he asked. Under the ASA, complaints of non-point source pollution stemming from agricultural practices can be made to the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The ASA also states that the complaints may be made anonymously, either written or verbally, and the Commissioner would have the discretion whether or not to investigate the complaint. The idea of anonymous complaints seemed to rile up people at the meeting more than any other subject. Werner Krebser said that people would need to know who the accuser is. Mr. Stoneman pointed out that the idea of allowing anonymous complaints was a compromise when the guidelines were put together. Newbill Miller asked when the complaint would cease to be anonymous and said the idea was really unAmerican. He said he felt that the ASA will affect the development of Rappahannock County, adding that there is no economic reason to farm. The ASA could lead to fencing of streams in cow pastures, he said. Glenn Martin, the Agriculture Stewardship Coordinator, explained that the guidelines for the ASA were developed from a lot of people. Comments regarding them will be accepted through February 28 and in March the guidelines will be finalized. The ASA will go into effect on April 1 and at that time, said Mr. Martin, they will start taking complaints. The Commissioner will review all complaints and decide if they are to be investigated. If he decides to investigate, the complaint will be referred to the soil and water conservation district and they will have five days to respond whether oj/not they will investigate the complaint.

The exchange occurred at the board's monthly meeting Jan. 14 at the Holiday Inn in Culpeper. For the Rappahannock site to be open five days a week, the county would have to demonstrate a need, she said. The site in Madison County is open five days a week, but transportation is not provided from all parts of the county each day, Jean Kane, one of Madison's representatives explained. Madison's seniors receive transportation to a nutrition site one or two days a week. Rappahannock's new site in the former Washington School is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Sites in Culpeper, Fauquier and Orange counties are open five days a week, but not all Orange seniors are served every day either. Rose Ann Sharp, one of Rappahannock's representatives on the Community Services Board, said that funding for the board's programs for the aging is particularly tight. "We have to do incredible fund raising just to maintain the status quo," she said. Aileen Johnson, Rappahannock's other representative, said, "We push as much as we can. The money is just not there. We would have to take if from something else, like Family Guidance." She added, "I am certainly interested in our senior citizens. If we find out people would be there five days a week, we could push harder, but the state gives more for mental health than meal sites." The budget for the year that starts July 1 has apparently already been adopted. A public hearing will be held in July or August for the budget for the following year. The Community Services Board has applied for a grant from HUD to build a fourbedroom group home in Orange County with an expected 1998 ground breaking. Mrs. Sharp asked if this would be an additional home or a replacement. Executive director Brian Duncan said it would be an additional home. The organization has contracted with a consultant to help secure the grant. Old Rag Bulletins 4-H Technician Hazel Zinn-Day began work as a parttime 4-H technician Wednesday, Jan. 22.

Drivers' Licenses May Be Hostage To Child Support By JENNY SWIGER Capital News Service RICHMOND — State lawmakers are considering a measure designed to crack down on parents delinquent on their child-support payments as well as one that would limit parents' requests to change the amount of child-support payments. A House of Delegates’ panel is also reviewing legislation to prevent non-custodial parents who owe child support from renewing their drivers' licenses. In addition, the Department of Social Services asked the House Courts of Justice Committee to prepare legislation allowing the department to access records for locating parents owing child support. "This is related to our biggest task, which is locating punitive fathers," said Elizabeth E. Riopelle, planning and policy director for social services. Her department wants access to professional and occupational licenses, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, death certificates and records of the Department of Motor Vehicles. The proposed legislation would provide thfc DMV with a list of people delinquent in their financial obligations. In turn, the agency would legally refuse to renew their licenses. Del. Kenneth R. Melvin, D-Portsmouth, said he thought there should be a balancing act between a person's right to privacy and the social services' right to be able to find the parents and collect the money owed. "The child support overrides the right to privacy," he said, "because it could hurt the children." Social services also asked the justice committee to establish criteria to determine when the department must review child-support orders and when modification becomes appropriate. Current practice permits a case review at a parent's request. King's Dreams Deferred By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Speaker Bob Weinberg said many of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s goals for civil rights and political rights have been accomplished, but much still remains to be done to achieve his goals of economic justice and world peace. He was speaking at the Sixth Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration at The Theatre in Washington last Sunday. Sponsored by the Julia E. Boddie Scholarship Committee, the program also included songs, prayers and a retrospective on the life of Dr. King created by Nan Butler-Roberts and enacted by many people from the community. Mr. Weinberg noted that Virginia was the first state to elect a black governor, L. Douglas Wilder. He said before his inauguration at lieutenant governor, Mr. Wilder spoke at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond. He noted that in the past the only way he could have entered the hot^l was as a waiter. Mr. Weinberg said when he came to Virginia in 1960 there were four sets of voter records, white voters who had paid the poll tax, black voters who had paid the p^ll tax, white voters who had not paid the poll tax, and black voters who had not paid the poll tax. Those who had not paid the poll tax could See King, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Mourners in a skit during the Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration are Tara Myers (on the floor), Brooke Myers, Mary Groves and Patricia Wormley.

Richard Douglas Pickeral, defec Owens Enters Guilty Plea By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Christopher M. Owens, 23, of Reva, pleaded guilty to four misdemeanors, bad check charges, in Circuit Court last Friday. He had taken the case to Circuit Court on a misdemeanor appeal after he was found guilty and sentenced in General District Court. He had been sentenced in that court to a total of 24 months in jail, with 12 months suspended. The bad checks he was charged with passing were written on a closed account. Checks were written to Laurel Mills Store for $40, Ben Venue Market for $5, Hackley’s Store for $40 and to John Compton for $50. Mr. Owens had originally opted to have his case heard by a jury, but instead pleaded guilty to the charges. Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke said that Mr. Owens had committed the crimes in order to obtain money to buy crack cocaine. His attorney, public defender Laura Cook, asked that the court suspend all of Mr. Owens's sentence and instead send him to drug treatment. Mr. Luke agreed that Mr. Owens needed drug treatment but said he still needed to face punishment for his crimes. Judge W. Shore Robertson ordered a pre-sentence investigation and asked that Mr. Owens be evaluated by a substance abuse counselor before sentencing, scheduled for March 10.

Grant To Help Churches By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office has received a grant for $4,600 from the Department of Justice specifically targeted for crime prevention at houses of worship. The local Sheriffs Office applied for the grant last September in the wake of a rash of vandalism and arson at churches around the country. Eight of the 153 suspicious acts against churches occurred in southern Virginia, said Sheriff Settle. He mailed a letter regarding the grant to the 38 churches in Rappahannock County last week. One thousand dollars of the grant money is earmarked for safety devices and safety talks at county churches. "The grant will be utilized in providing extra patrol coverage, crime prevention. safety talks, and providing safety devices such as outdoor lighting, locks, etc.," said Sheriff Settle in the letter. , The remainder will be used for patrol coverage, said Sheriff Settle. Six deputies from his office attended training on church crime prevention. Sheriff Settle said that his office regularly does security checks on all bustnesses and organizations in the county, but the grant money will allow them to increase coverage. The grant runs through March 31. • For more information, to request a safety device for a church, or a safety talk, call Capt. Jeff Brown at the Sheriff Office. The number is 6753331. If a church has not received this sheriffs letter, someone from the church should call the Sheriffs Office. Call the Rappahannock Neum at 675-3338 with your suggestions for stories or photos.

Virginia News VDOT Opposes 'Pave in Place' Plan In a joint letter to Sen. Charles Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax) and Del. Joe May (R-Loudoun/Clarke), the Virginia Department of Transportation Monday opposed a joint effort by the two to enact legislation allowing for paving of county dirt roads without meeting existing width requirements. Waddell said the measure was designed "to pave existing dirt roads, with minimal widening so as not to destroy the natural beauty that surrounds them. In our opinion it would preserve mature trees and stone fences and save VDOT a considerable amount of money." But VDOT commissioner David R. Gehr said in his letter that his department is concerned about safety. "Our experience has shown that unless there is an adequate clear zone between the pavement and the roadside obstacles, both the number and severity of accidents will increase significantly when speeds increase." Although several other counties have expressed an interest in the legislation, May had hoped its application would be limited. "It will be very much trial and error, because it's new and we're • not exactly certain how it will work, though we feel a very real need for the latitude we're asking for," he said. Priorities for Road Improvements Mims and Waddell place extending Fairfax Parkway to Route 7 and adding lanes to Route 7 eastward to Tysons Corner among top priorities for the $135 million in "windfall" money for J Virginia transportation products. The money comes from a federal error which reduced the state's 1996 funding. The "windfall" comes due to correction in 1997 of the mistake. Jim Atwell, VDOT’s assistant commissioner for finance, said the money will distributed through the state's six-year-program allocation process. In March, VDOT officials plan to start traveling around the state to conduct public hearings on how state highway money should be spent. Virginia Has Long Approved Medical Use of Marijuana When it comes to the medical use of marijuana, Virginia is way ahead of California and Arizona. The two western states recently passed legislation authorizing doctors to prescribe pot for certain ailments. Virginia's position on the matter dates to 1979, when the state passed a law to block punishment of individuals who possessed marijuana as long as they had a prescription from their doctor. But Del. Bob Marshall (RPrince William) has announced a crusade to repeal the Virginia's law. Marshall's bill would make it criminal for doctors to prescribe marijuana. He cites evidence that marijuana has no medical utility and can produce physical and psychological dependence. Del. Jay Katzen (R-Fauquier) is also preparing repeal legislation. "We’re getting marijuana out of the medicine cabinet,” he said. — Compiled from Capital News Service, Times Community News and dispatches from legislators. Traffic Calming Plan Offered By DEBORAH FITTS ThncsNewspapers SUIT Writer After more than a year in the formulation, a radical plan to institute "traffic calming” along U.S. 50 was publicly released earlier this month by a grassroots citizens group, setting out. measures to slow commuter traffic through southern Loudoun County — and, in a fashion unprecedented in the U.S., help to preserve its rural and historic landscape. "This is not just a road issue,” asserted Supervisor Jim Burton (IMercer). "Transportation and land use issues are so closely intertwined that this is not only traffic calming — it's development calming.” The plan, laid out in two bound vplumes of maps, charts, photos and text, follows the principal tenet of traffic calming: that it be "self-enforcing.” I.t details dozens of obstacles to slow traffic in Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville, from differing pavement textures to .tree-lined medians and rptaries, speed humps, and sidewalk "bulbs" that narrow the road at intersections. * In between, the speed limit on U.S. 50 would be reduced from 55 to 50, wayside pulloffs would lure the passer-by to admire the landscape, and grass and shrubs would grow right up to the edge of the pavement. "This is creative, it’s innovative, and it's the way of the future," said Susan Van Wagoner of Middleburg, chairman of the 15-member steering committee of the Route 50 Corridor Coalition. "We feel this plan is offering the state of Virginia and (xiudoun and Fauquier counties the opportunity to be leaders in this field. Otherwise they can follow along." The fate of the plan, the report warns, "will send a clear message to the public as to whether or not conventional transportation solutions will be forced on our community, even to the point of destroying it." Ms. Van Wagoner said at a press conference in Middleburg that the eyes of the nation are on this effort. Traffic calming, hatched in Europe 30 years ago to preserve the serenity of residential communities, is still relatively new in the U.S. But nowhere has •it been applied to a 20-mile stretch of rural countryside. "The basic philosophy is that the . road can do more than be a conduit for t commuter traffic — that we can all • share that road,” she said. * With traffic calming and reduced ‘ speed limits, the coalition has calculat- ] ed that driving time will be increased . between two and five minutes for the . 20-mile stretch, for an overall driving ! time of 27 minutes and 25 seconds. Volunteer drivers made repeated runs to gather the data, going at the present posted speed, the "prevailing" speed, rush-hour speed, and the traffic-calming speed. The steering committee, which has been meeting every Monday since last February, is attempting to pave the way for approval. Its members have met with supervisors in both Loudoun ahd Fauquier counties — portions of 50 lie in Fauquier — as well as state legislators Charles Waddell and Joe May, and others. They have contacted U.S. Sen. John Warner and say they will approach Congressman Frank Wolf. To scrap improvements to 50 in favor of a 180-degree shift towards slower travel is "totally different," Mr. Burton acknowledged. "But with routes 7 and 66, we have enough east-west commuter routes," he said. "Tourism is such a high economic goal for the county, I trust the county will stand behind this. I'm very optimistic." Mr. Burtons own property in Aldie would be affected. The plan calls for shifting the highway to the south slightly in front of his home to make room for a string of small shops. Among three dozen people attending the press conference, Piedmont Environmental Council President Chris Miller said the key to making the traffic calming plan a reality is convincing the Commonwealth Transportation Board. CTB member Jim Rich, a Fauquier resident who has closely tracked the coalition's efforts, said in order for it to happen, the plan needs governmental support all the way from local officials to the General Assembly and Gov. Allen's administration.

Onion Rings $10.95 Local Foundation To Assist Schools By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer A new organization was launched last Thursday which hopes to make a large difference in county public schools. A board of directors took over the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation from a steering committee that had spent over a year in planning for the new organization. The organization will try to increase community support for public education. Raising money for special projects at the schools is only part of the new organization's goal. Of even greater importance, according to organizers, is to get many more citizens involved in supporting the schools. The new board approved a mission stating, 'The Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation exists to foster educational excellence by cultivating the cooperative spirit and resources of the whole community to benefit all students." Linda Dietel was selected president pro tern; Kathryn Treanor is secretary pro tern; Paul Gall is vice president pro tern, and Barney O’Meara is treasurer pro tern. The group will select officers for the next fiscal year in July. There is currently a 15-member Board of Directors. Other board members are Beverly Massie, Douglas Baumgardner, Margaret Rogers, Phillip Bailey, Cynthia Wayland, Lois Manookian, Jeff Brown, Carol Johnson, Dorothy Butler, Brion Patterson, and Sharon Kilpatrick. Articles of incorporation were approved. Mr. Baumgardner will submit them to the State Corporation Commission. Once the organization has its charter from the SCC, Mr. Baumgardner will apply to the IRS for approval as a tax exempt charitable organization. He said it could take several months for that to be approved. In the meantime the board will organize small task forces to work on a variety of projects. Steering committee member William Dietel said, "In the U.S. the idea of creating foundations to support public education is growing by leaps and bounds. There are over 14,000 of these, and it is growing every day. That says something very encouraging about public concern to support public education.” Mrs. Treanor said her research indicates the situation in Rappahannock is fairly unusual, however. Most education foundations were started by school administrations. Rappahannock s foundation was started by citizens and intends to remain independent of the School Board and school administration. However, the new foundation will be working with the School Board and administration on plans to bring improvements to the schools. Mrs. Treanor said the purpose of the new organization is "to make Rappahannock schools the best in the state. That's not an undoable goal." Mrs. Dietel has experience on the board of the Child Care and Learning Center and on the board of Lord Fairfax Community College. "I've done a lot of work with boards, but I've never started a board before,” she said, adding that the first few months of the organization's existence will be a learning experience for everyone involved. The board delayed making a decision on "ex-officio” (or non-voting) members of the board which may include school administrators and/or School Board members. The organization intends to hire\a parttime staff person as "executive director" who will be an "ex-officio" member of the board. > "We're new and we're finding our way," Mrs. Dietel said. The group plans a get-acquainted meeting with the School Board for early February with regular monthly meetings the fourth Monday of each month.

Some survive working at least one job while taking a full classload to realize a dream. Others leave early — their dreams unfulfilled and bills waiting to be paid. Bryan Hubbard of Southwest Virginia reached his dream — but not without a struggle. A senior studying government at George Mason in Fairfax, Mr. Hubbard, 21, traveled to the Capitol in Richmond to say his piece at the final public hearing concerning amendments to the state’s budget. He told a joint meeting of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance committees how education cuts and broken promises hit the GMU campus. "Since the first day that I stepped on George Mason's campus," the Lebanon, Va„ natiyrsaidr"! was acutely aware of the fact that we were funded at 60 percent of the doctoral average. "I saw students standing in the aisles of my classes. I had adjunct professors that couldn't be reached because they were working their regular jobs. ”1 struggled to pay $100 just to park my car after paying thousands of dollars in tuition — all because the General Assembly said I was attending school in Northern Virginia, and They have plenty of money up in Northern Virginia."’ Mr. Hubbard especially has been disappointed in the Allen administration. As a freshman member of the College Republicans during Gov. George Allen’s successful bid for office, Mr. Hubbard remembers attending rallies and listening to Gov. Allen's responses to questions about higher education. "He'd say it’s time that Virginia families get a break and the cost of a college education cease to rise,” he said. "He [Allen] implemented the tuition freeze while he simultaneously cut state support for higher-education funding." A $1 million cut in funding, to George Mason has been proposed in the governor's 1997 budget amendments. "I don't see where the promised break to Virginia's families has come," Mr. Hubbard said. "Break their backs, maybe. I don't see how he has given any financial relief to working-class families like my own trying to put their children through school." Calling for the money committees * to stop making education a political issue, the GMU students asked that the gubernatorial candidates pledge to invest more in the state's colleges and universities. A graduating senior, Mr. Hubbard said completing college in four years has been very tough. His father, the first in the family to graduate from high school, saved for his son's college education since his birth. Still, with scholarships and help from grandparents, Bryan Hubbard worked Christmas and summer vacations to earn money for school. Nonetheless, he considers himself luckier than most of his college peers. The soon-to-be GMU graduate said he now looks forward to law school. Again, finances will be the deci&ng factor in which school he attends) — even Louisiana State University is not out of the question. "I can get a better deal as an outof-state students at LSU," he said, "than I could at George Mason University as an in-state student." “Only the best Tor my buddy” Ask Ty Gore what’s important in life and he’ll tell you. His family, his friends, a great game of one-on-one. Ask him what he looks for in a doctor and he laughs “Someone who won’t draw blood when I pull a hamstring A good guy who knows the score. I want a doctor on my sidelooking out for my interestskeeping me in the game. When my buddy and I play ball, one of us is bound to get hurt It’s good to know HI be able to get him some help” \ 349-0588 4

The organisation hopes to become a means of improving the county's public schools by greatly increasing private support for them. The group hopes its support goes beyond fund raising, to creating conditions that broaden political support for the schools and involve more members of the community in working to improve them. By agreeing to serve on the Board of Directors of this new organization, your editor has gotten herself involved in a clear conflict of interest when it comes to reporting or editorializing on this new organization. After more than 21 years of attending School Board meetings and sending two children through Rappahannock's school system, she feels she can contribute to such an effort and an obligation to do so. Therefore, there will be little comment on the foundation in this space in the future. For now, she hopes the community will come together to help this new group become successful. Senior Nutrition Site It was disappointing to learn that no effort will be made in the next budget year to expand the senior nutrition program in Rappahannock County to five days a week. The Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, which oversees this program and many others, works with a limited budget. Apparently funds for programs for the aging are particularly tight, and it was pe^-ps too much to expect that Rappahannock’s site would immediately go to five days a week. However, it is particularly disappointing to realize that Rappahannock's representatives on the board have not been pushing for an expansion of this local service. The county is fortunate to have three fine women representing it on the Community Services Board. However, it appears that rather than representing the county on the board, they are representing the board in the county. ^ In no other jurisdiction is the senior nutrition site only open three days a week. In no other jurisdiction are citizens asked to subsidize the site by providing funds for utilities. This seems to be a clear injustice. When the Community Services Board gets around to holding a public hearing on its 1999 budget, some time this summer, Rappahannock's senior citizens and their friends need to make sure the board hears of their concerns. /ALLEN'S PROGRAM OR NO. | SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS WILL STILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

ELLEN PULLEN Loan Closet Volunteer /\ Local Perspective on the Inauguration By BOB WEINBERG Ruppahannock News Contributing Writer I journeyed to "the other Washington" for President Clinton's Second Inaugural Address, and related events of the day. I did not find quite the same excitement in the air as I had found on the sunnier and brisker Inaugural day four years ago; for the continuity of presidential policy is less exciting than the change of national direction and conomitmcnt, such as we witnessed when Clityon’s First Inaugural Address closed out the Reagan-Bush era of the eighties. But institutional continuity, regardless of policy continuity, is the fundamental value that we recognize on these quadrennial occasions. Our General Assembly Delegate Jay Katzen, R-31st District, put is nicely in perspective when, in responding to my invitation to quote hjat here, he said: "As a retired officer of the Department of State, I was honored to serve America in a number of countries where the transition of power was only accomplished by means of military force. Therefore, we as Americans can take great pride in the process with which we participate in this 53rd Inauguration Day." Inaugural day — as distinct from Inaugural night (about which more later) — is a non-partisan time. President Clinton received his loudest cheers, or so it seemed from where I stood, when he directly addressed the Congressmen who were his backdrop on the dais and called for an end to "partisan bickering" between these two governmental branches that the people had voted to place under opposite parties. And he received the oath of office together with good luck wishes from the head of the third branch. Chief Justice Rehnquist, who had himself been a stout Republican partisan in his pre-judicial life. Another stellar non-partisan performance, by a recent veteran of Virginia's partisan wars, came from v our Commonwealth's senior Senator John Warner. By virtue of being chair of the Senate Rules Committee, Sen. Warner presided over the entire swearing-in ceremony as Chairman of the Congressional Inaugural Committee. He presided with gentle authority and great dignity. Even those of us who had voted against him because of his political beliefs felt that he did Virginia proud in his performance, just as he had done when he presided over the nation's Bicentennial Commission 20 years ago, and when he placed Commonwealth and country before party affiliation in 1994. I did, however, feel chagrined at the boos and catcalls that I heard following the introduction of Speaker Gingrich, and even that of Mrs. Gingrich. Newt Gingrich was participating in the Inauguration in his official capacity, not his personal one, and the office deserved our respect regardless of the controversy surrounding its current occupant. On a more personal note, I warmed particularly to the invocation delivered by the Rev. Billy Graham, when he quoted the same scriptural text from the prophet Micah that I had happened to quote the day before when speaking at our community's observance of Martin Luther King Day in Washington, Va.: the prophet's injunction "to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before your God.” And I recalled having heard Governor Adlai Stevenson quote from the same passage in his speech accepting the Democratic nomination in his unsuccessful quest to be President in 1952. Indeed, there were many parts of the Inaugural ceremony that evoked thoughts and dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose holiday of remembrance coincided both temporally and spiritually with President Clinton's address. This confluence of Clinton's and King's philosophy will, I expect, be what this Inaugural address is best remembered for, when our country holds its 78th Inaugural on the threshold of the 22nd century. As for the events of the Inaugural evening, these were an occasion for pure partisan Democratic enjoyment at events throughout "the other Washington." At the Virginia Inaugural Ball at the Mayflower Hotel, whose attendees included Rappahannockers Esther and Frank Schmidt and Joy O'Rourke, the guest of honor was Democratic Lieutenant Governor Don Beyer — whom Del. Katzen is running to succeed, if Jay can capture his party's nomination. Rappahannock's Democratic Party Chair, Frank Schmidt, spent the evening explaining Rappahannock's needs and potential to the entire prospective 1997 Virginia Democratic ticket, who were all in attendance: Don Beyer for Governor, L.F. Paine for Lieutenant Governor, and Bill Dolan for Attorney General. Don Beyer quipped that' this happy Inaugural party was a rehearsal for next year's in Richmond.

Men Enjoy Shooting Hoops By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer They graduated in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. They are in their 20s through 40s, and they come in quite a mix of physiques, but they all love basketball. Each Sunday evening from 4 to 6 p.m. a group of men, mostly former RCHS players, gather at the high school gym to play basketball. They shoot to determine who is on which team, and play the classic "skins versus shirts" game. At the end of three games, those who have sat out will- get their chance to play as foul shots determine who next has to sit out. They say they keep careful score. This past Sunday there was some discussion of how long thesd Sunday afternoon games have been goVig on. The consensus was that the/games began in 1970, in the old gymnasium, when Dean Hahn was the basketball coach. One man recalled games w the old gym in Sperryville, in what is now the Emporium. ' Robbie Settle said he plays another night most weeks in Warrenton. His father and Carroll Settle are part of the same group that has been playing regularly for 14 years, he said. Brooke Miller said he gets another night of basketball at the Wakefield gym most weeks,and he also gets exercise chasing after cows on the weekends. He said they have tried to get more of the young men to play, "but they can't keep up with us.” Ron Nicholson said Sunday basketball is his only regular workout. He sells cars in Front Royal during the week. Paul Hitt, Class of 1991, is the rookie of the season they said. He iust started playing with them this wimer. Another youngster is Jason Settle, Class of 1995. His father, Carrol$ is one of the old regulars, and together they watch his younger twin brothers play for this year's varsity. Thare is a lot of good-natured joking and some pretty intense competition. Fancy, no-look passes are attempted, sometimes successfully, and the highest praise goes to well executed plays that lead to easy scores. Broad Run Has Girl Wrestler By ROB GREGORY Times Newspapers Staff Writer "I've always liked wrestling, I just never thought I'd get my chance." — Kandice Calderwood One day not too long ago, Broad Run High wrestling coach Ed Steele had a dilemma. He had tried to fill the 112-pound spot in his varsity lineup, but to no avail. He was running out of options. . At least until the 103 pounder on his varsity squad made a suggestion, albeit jokingly. "What about my sister?" And from there, what was once thought of as an improbable scenario has now transformed, at least to a small degree in Loudoun County, a sport predominantly male in gender. Her name is Kandice Calderwood. She is a senior at Broad Run. She is a varsity wrestler, competing in the 112pound weight class. She is no pushover. She is no mistake. She is a woman. She is a relative success. She is a person that took the unofficial challenge from her brother, Brandon, who happens to be one of the top-rated wrestlers in the 103pound weight class in Virginia. "We had a weak spot at If2,” related Steele, "And her brother said, 'You oughta have my sister try out, she's really good, she can beat me,' and I said, 'Right, Brandon. How is it your sister beats you?'" Kandice said she can beat her brother, although she does acknowledge that she, "bends the rules a little." But she has had no prior formal wrestling training and no little league wrestling experience. ”1 more or less auditioned her, kicked everyone out of the room, and we put one kid in and wrestled her, just to see what her instincts were," continued Steele. And after watching this untrained unknown take his guy down a few times, putting him on his back once, Steele was impressed. "I said, 'Hell, she didn't know what she was doing, but by using her instincts, determination, strength, and physical ability, she was obviously good enough.'" "She said to me," continued Steele, "'If you don't want a girl on the team, that's too bad because if I'm coming out, I'm staying.' I told her I wouldn t want her any other way." Kandice had the OK from her new coach, but a more pressing approval was still to be obtained. "I was the one that was totally against it,” said Kandice's father, Kerry Calderwood. "When the coach asked me, I said, 'No, absolutely not.' "Then I left and went out of town, and when I came back, she was wrestling.” "I just think it's a boys’ sport," said her father. "It always has been, and it's a rough sport. I Wrestled in high school, and some of the matches are brawls." "I was really nervous," said Pixie Calderwood, Kandice's mother. "I had some mixed feelings about it in the beginning, but I feel she's earned her spot on the team, and I'm proud that she’s sticking with it." Earned her spot she has, with three match victories on her brief resume, including a pin in 47 seconds of Marshall freshman Bob Azadi, Jan. 15. Kandice is hardly the first woman to wear a singlet, but she is the first, in Loudoun County at least, to wear the uniform and excel as she has. According to her parents, Kandice" really isn't the epitome of an athlete. Her sister Jamie is currently performing for the school's gymnastic squad, and, as her proud parents say, has the athletic blood in her veins more than Kandice has. That doesn't mean to that Kandice is fragile. No, she’s a tomboy through an^ through. "One of her friends one year wanted modeling lessons for Christmas,” said Pixie. "Kandice wanted a catchers uniform." "She isn't what I would call a natural athlete," explained Kerry, the head of an historically athletic house, and mentor of seven children total. "But I think her work ethic is as strong as anybody's, and if she decided she's going to do something, she'll do it." Which brings us to the decision to wrestle rather than play girls basketball, something Kandice did for Oakton High the previous winter before she and Brandon transferred to Broad Run in the fall. "I thought about it," said Kandice, "then I decided not to because I can’t shoot or dribble worth anything.” Kerry said, "She wasn't a real good shooter, but if you wanted someone defended, she could cover them like a glove. I think it was a confidence thing, I think she just didn't have the confidence to shoot and dribble." Not enough confidence to shoot and dribble in a sport with previous formal training, but enough to take the half-hearted suggestion of a younger sibling. ”1 was just joking around," said Brandon, "and then she did it. "She’s all business," described Steele, who noticed the first time he saw her wrestle. "She is very aggressive. She doesn't sit around and wait for them to do something, she goes for them. I wish I could take that gene and insert it in a few other of my guys.” It’s her aggression, along with her technique and speed that make her dangerous on the mat for those who take her lightly. "I think the thing about Kandice is that she's so fast," said her nowapproving father, reminiscent again on her basketball days. ”1 think another thing that surprises people is that she's really strong.” Steele said, Shes fundamentally sound on the things she knows, but there are things that she never learned that are going to kill her when she comes up against a better wrestler." Loudoun County coach Dave Wagner has also seen the 112-pound fury in action. It was in West Virginia that Wagner saw his 112 pounder, Mike McMurrer, become the second win of Kandice's career. "I think every time you step onto the mat, you learn something," said Wagner. "And when she wrestled in West Virginia, she found weaknesses and used them to her advantage. That’s the mark of any good wrestler." So much potential, so little time to train. Still, she's doing better than the average first-year wrestler, and Steele is making sure that her education is not overloading her natural abilities. "I just have certain fundamental things that I make her do over and over again,” explained Steele. "It’s not really how much she can do, it's how LEESBURG, VA GUN SHOW Jan. 25-26 NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY Sat. 9*5, Sun. 9-4, $5.00 UNDER 12 FREE, W/ ADULT BUY * SELL * TRADE From Rt. 7 Follow Signs to Leesburg Airport From Rt. 7 Turn on Sycolin Rd.. National Guard Armory Is Adjacent To Airport Terminal GUNS, KNIVES, MttlTAMA Old Dominion Shows (540) 238-1343 'much better she can do the things she's learned." Her father agrees with Steele’s assessment, and ponders with many others what could have been if Kandice had started wrestling earlier. "If she had got in sooner, she's fast enough and strong enough that she’d be able to win more matches." He continued, "If there's anything that's stopping her, it’s her lack of knowledge of the moves. I know if she knew more of the moves, she'd be upsetting some people. She’s determined enough, she’s got a great work ethic, but the main thing is that she's a first-year wrestler. Anytime you can go out and win at the varsity level as a first-time wrestler, that's saying something." When it all comes together, the talent with her newfound knowledge, the result is a 112-pound varsity wrestler that is indeed competitive. The natural gift of being able to synchronize mind and body isn't found everywhere. "It's a rare person who instinctively knows what to do as a wrestler," Steele said, explaining Kandice's God-given trait. "Some kids just don't make the association, her body and mind work together, and keeps her out of trouble.” Kandice herself admits having trouble putting the bbdy and mind together. "Sometimes -I think too much. Instead of doing something right off the bat, it takes me a few seconds to think about what I'm going to do ... At school, now that [the student body] knows I'm wrestling, they'll say, 'See you on Wednesday.' They’ve heard that I'm really good, but I don't think I'm as good as they think I am.

Personal Property Tax, a Necessary Evil? Tubing Anyone? By RICHARD TALIAFERRO Capital News Service RICHMOND — If death and taxes remain as life's only certainties, then personal property taxes must be a guarantee that most people could do without. "The personal property tax has been in continuous use since 1654,” said Sen. Charles J. Colgan, DManassas. "The time has come for a change." Sen. Colgan proposes an increase in the state's sales tax to 6 percent from 4.5 percent while reducing the amount of property tax a locality can receive to 20 percent. But proponents and opponents had their say about repealing the tax at a special public hearing Tuesday, Jan. 21, in Richmond. Even though they attempted to sway the minds of the Senate Finance Committee, it is the Revenue Resources Subcommittee that will consider the issue next Wednesday, Jan. 29. During the hearing, the bill's supporters pointed to the frequent dodging of the payment and the hardship it creates for many people, while foes sought to show how revenue losses would hurt localities. "The only local tax that generates revenue more than the levied personal property tax is the real estate tax,” said James S. Harris, mayor of Blackstone and president of the Virginia Municipal League. "None of the other taxes we are allowed to levy come close to generating the same amount of revenue that these two taxes do. f "So we are understandably concerned about the same amount of revenue when anyone suggests phasing out one of our principal revenue sources." Jay Black, a member of the Matthews County Board of Supervisors, not only is concerned about what lost revenue would do to providing services, but also how much the 1,5 percent increase in the sales tax would harm the poor in buying the necessities they need just to live day to day. "We all buy milk and bread," he said. "We all wear shoes and socks." Richmond City Councilman Joseph Brooks stressed to the panel that poor people would shoulder more of the burden in paying taxes than would other groups. While the personal property tax may be unpopular, he suggested that the higher sales tax would dampen any eagerness for the legislation. "They will realize that depending on their income level and spending patterns," he said, "they could end up worse off under this proposal than they are now.” Testifying before the committee, Carolyn Finley of Powhatan County told of recently buying a car costing $840. She and her husband were astonished to see their total property assessment leap from $151 in 1995 to $976 after purchasing the vehicle. "My husband and I are working people who have to save and plan and budget for everything," she said. "There's got to be a better way to han die this beside penalizing those who try to better themselves." Frank Lattanzi of Centreville purchased a one-year old used car and was shocked to see the assessed value. Mr. Lattanzi explained to the panel that he paid $14,000 for the car, which was valued at slightly more than $ 19,000. He said he was told the higher number came from one of several books used in assessing a car’s value. "All of those automotive book lists are fiction," he said. "They are only there to give the car dealers a way to tell the client that everyone gets a bargain." Noting that Fairfax County has the highest percentage of college-trained people in the United States, Mr. Lattanzi said while intelligent people don't mind paying taxes, the imposition of the taxes is another matter altogether. "We in the professional class are not against taxes," he said. We are against the absurdity in the valuation [of the property]." Robert McCarthy of Northern Virginia was just one person lining up in support of Sen. Colgan's bill. Mr. McCarthy, who reported seeing some motorists not pay personal property taxes, said he continues to be frustrated that his efforts to report violators to authorities yield few tangible results. "People brag about evading this tax," he said, "especially wealthy people who have waterfront property in Maryland where they register their Jaguars." 1 (0»/y $4d0i*r week £ A A fjl£ IIIO Next Deadline for a 1 inch space i vjIy"U/ U"vuvP February 23 BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.

When he lost his job as a company vice president, he borrowed money to make the payments. "It doesn’t matter whether you’re high or low income," he said. "If you’re out of work, this tax may not be repressive, but it certainly is repugnant." Sen. Benjamin Lambert, Dr Richmond, predicted the 1.5 percent increase in the sales tax will not make up for revenue lost from personal property taxes, but he sees increases in real estate taxes as unlikely. "What I'd like to see done," he said, "is to decrease the personal property tax just a little so that people can afford to pay their taxes on their cars — and maybe increase taxes on guns and the like.” The Richmond delegation, Sen. Lambert said, probably will vote against the measure, as will other localities that depend heavily on the tax. He noted the popularity of the bill among constituents, but he cautioned the panel and those testifying at the hearing about finding funding for needed services. "We don't want to hurt the important services, particularly education, in the commonwealth to eliminate personal property taxes," he said. ® Sen. Colgan speculated that the likelihood of his bill passing this year's session remain slim, but he suggested that it will not die after the General Assembly adjourns late next month. "I think it will be a campaign issue in the House of Delegates race and the governor's race this year," he said.

If the district decides not to, the Commissioner's office will investigate. Dick McNear, who is a director with the SWCD in our district, said that the SWCD has some concerns about the ASA. He said that there are no guidelines as to what constitutes a reportable complaint. "What constitute $ violation serious enough to require investigation?" he asked. - He also wondered about the cost effectiveness if a farmer has to fence his farm to keep all the cows out of streams. He said the district feels that investigators should be certified, and wondered about the availability of funding for farmers. He said there are some cost share funds potentially available from federal and state coffers, but if directed to do so, a farmer might have to spend major money to fence streams. Mr. McNear said that local farmers are not against doing everything for clean water but that it has to be feasible. He said, "In essence this thing has turned out to be mandatory BMP's (best management practices) with no help from anybody except through your own pocket. I think that it’s scary and hopefully it won't get implemented that way." "Pollution," for purposes of the ASA, is defined as "any alteration of the physical, chemical or biological properties of any state waters resulting from sedimentation, nutrients, or toxins." If a farm operation is found to be polluting water, they will be given an opportunity to correct the problem by using BMP's and developing a stewardship plan, within a reasonable period of time. An unidentified person in the audience asked who will determine what the pollution is. Mr. Martin answered that it would be determined by. an jnvestigatign apd that j»WCD people, he and another person from his office were trained to identify water pollution problems. But, because they are talking about a non-point source of water pollution, the decision would sometimes be a subjective decision. Mr. Stoneman explained that a similar program like the ASA has been in Ohio for ten years and that they handle about 100 complaints annually. During those ten years, he said, only one farmer has been prosecuted or dealt with severely. One farmer who said he had been farming for 50 years voiced his concern that what he considered pollution someone else might not. Gray Armistead suggested that the Rappahannock Farmers Association (RFA) come up with concrete comments and submit them as a group. Jennifer Alexander stated that everyone likes clean water, but that the farmers need specifics so that they can identify problems and take care of them. Contacted later, John Bums, an * organic vegetable and berry farmer, said that he believes the ASA is a profarmer environmentally weak bill. He thinks the purpose is to protect the farmers from an even stronger control. Jane Naramore, acting chairman of the RFA, said at the meeting that it is really important for local farmers to become involved and educated. She asked for everyone’s written com* rnents |o be„ ,.sent_ to her at the Rappahannock Farmers' Association,' - P.O. Box 576, Flint Hill, VA 22627. She added that the board of directors. will be meeting to discuss all of the! comments and vowed that something' would be done through the RFA. She also invites people interested in joining RFA or finding out more about it to attend their next meeting at ' the Flint Hill Fire Hall on March 8.. The time has not yet been set, but will! be announced in a future edition of the Rappahannock News.

"We have achieved much in civil rights and political rights," he said. "But how many ideals remain to be achieved? We are backsliding in the area of economic rights; we are cutting the safety net; companies are downsizing and putting the almighty dollar ahead of justice.” In the "quest for peace” he said there is great progress in the Holy Land, but he noted that many have been killed since the end of the Cold War and hundreds of thousands have been victims of genocide in Rwanda. "Think of all we've accomplished but also of all that is still left to be done.

JLm • Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22,1997 Local Sculptor, Flickinger, Is Natural Teacher By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sculptor Charles Flickinger says about Rappahannock, "The creative community here is vgry vibrant. It is very rare to find a place where there is so much going on in the creative world." He moved here two years ago to a rambling farmhouse in Woodville and has made fast friends with members of the local art community. Known as "Flick""'to his friends, he is a sculptor who works with many mediums. Right now he is especially interested in sculpting wood, and is always on the lookout for interesting pieces whicli he may find alongside a river or a road. Many local people may have seen his extraordinary wood and Fiberglas sculpture of a woman playing a fiddle, entitled "Bloodroot," at the Glassworks Gallery in Sperryville. Mr. Flickinger said die piece is mainly about springtime and was carved from a limb off of an apple tree at the Gesundheit Institute in West Virginia, where he lived for a short while. The free is in a beautiful spot, within earshot of a waterfall, and marriages have taken place under the tree. Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. also may have seen his giant bee in the Pollinarium exhib 7 like to create objects that can be interpreted a lot of dijferent ways. What is underneath is important and what is on the surface is important/ — Charles Flickinger it. The bee is constructed mostly of Fiberglas and was a difficult project which took a year to complete, even with the help of his friends Lucy Turner and Steve Barnes. It barely fit in the back of a van to transport it to the zoo. The eyes are each made up of about 1000 tiny glass beads, said Mr. Flickinger. He attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. during the 1980's and now teaches four classes there and two at the Art League School in Alexandria, mostly figure and portrait classes in sculpture and one a casting and mold-making class. Before that he taught at the Maryland Institute College of Art for four years. Recently he began teaching portrait and figure sculpture, using clay, through the Shimmering Meadows Farm Studio in Slate Mills. His par ents are also teachers; his father teaches English and his mother teaches elementary school. His students rave about him. Peter White of Sperryville, who has been studying sculpture since the fifth grade, and whose dad was a very accomplished sculptor, said he thinks Mr. Flickinger is a first rate instructor. "He is the best, without exception," he said. In class earlier this week, said Mr. White, his instructor took ten minutes to explain the intricacies of the foot. Next week they'll work on the ear. Roger Segalla, who is taking his first-ever sculpture class, thinks his teacher is great. "He has a nice gentle way but he is firm about his points," said Mr. Segalla. Another student also praised Mr. Flickinger, saying that he can tell he is really speaking from experience when Photo courtesy of Charles Flickinger Charles Flickinger made this bee for the 'pollinarium' exhibit at the National Zoo. Lucy Tbrner, who helped with its construction, stands next to it. Bird's Suet Recipe Revealed There have been a number of requests for Lee Trott's recipe for Bird Pudding. Here it is in here " words, in time for a mid-winter snow storm when it will benefit protein-hungry birds. Beyond that, who knows what rare birds may be • attracted to your feeder by this deli! cacy. | "Start with a can of dogfood. ■ Never mind the brand." Since Lee Trott's recipe is given in a terse, tothe-point manner, I will add a few comments: spoon the dogfood into a ; pot and break up its clumps with a • spoon. Fill the empty can with com! meal — white or yellow — and add ! this to the dogfood. • "Again in the empty can — fill wi[h peanut butter — the creamy kind, not crunchy. Heat in the \ saucepan. To it add enough bacon • drippings 'to make it a pudding con• sistency." Originally I suggested 1 using equal amounts of the four ' ingredients: peanut butter, dogtood, commeal and grease or fat. Lee Trott says this much fat makes pudding too thin. When it is placed on ; or near the feeder and the day warms • up, pudding with too much grease • tends to melt. | I am aware that many kitchens do not have bacon drippings on hand. Rendered suet serves just as . well: heat the suet slowly until fat is ; released. Use this instead of bacon ; drippings. I doubt birds will know • the difference. Cook and stir this • concoction over low heat until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Allow to cool in the pot. To continue with Lee Trott's ! recipe: "1 like to store this mixture in ; ziploc, pint-sized bags and put them All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist in the freezer. That's just the right size for the little wire suet holders." These are available at hardware and bird stores. If you have the time and a good pair of needle-nose pliers, you can make your own with hardware cloth. Lee Trott's recipe further states:, "For the larger wooden suet holders with hardware cloth bottoms, you might want to use larger freezer bags." ‘ Onion bags also make excellent containers for bird pudding. When the pudding is cool enough to handle, roll it into spheres the size of baseballs. Place these in plastic bags and put them into the freezer. When you are ready to feed your birds this delicacy, drop a frozen ball into an onion bag, secure it at the top and hang it on a tree limb or the feeder itself. A number of years ago, when I was teaching eighth grade at the Burgundy Farm School in Alexandria, I gave this recipe to my students. One of my charges promptly went home and made the pudding. His father came home from work and found a bowl of an appetizing mixture in the refrigerator. He liked the smell and assumed it was a new sandwich spread. A sandwich was made and eaten. It was pronounced good. Needless to say, when the sandwich eater asked about the new spread, he was not happy with the ingredients or his son's teacher. While heating, the combination of dogfood, peanut butter and bacon fiat does have a mighty fine smell. / Carolina wren/ like this mixture and it may well/see them through severe cold weather and contribute to their winter survival. Woodpeckers, chickadees and titmice are also drawn to the bird pudding. 1 have observed pine and yellow-rumped (myrtle) warblers, along with brown-headed nuthatches, visiting bird feeders for this mixture farther south and along the coast where these exotic species spend the winter. Readers of the Times Community Newspapers reside over a wide area. Anything is possible. Who knows what birds may tum up? With bird pudding, maybe a brown creeper or a ruby-crowned kinglet may be lured to the bird feeder. After all, birds do fly. John Trott welcomes reader comments at P.O. Box 515, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. he teaches and is a really good communicator. Also, he is easily able to handle all levels of ability within one class. r, Mr. Flickinger loves teaching, and hopes to get enough teaching jobs out here so that he will not have to commute so much. "I like being able to work a garden and have quiet at night," he said, adding that he is trying to build a life away from the city and still do the things he likes to do. He recently took a studio space at Glassworks Gallery, in the little building out front, and has started working on a figure piece using large pieces of driftwood. Before making dramatic changes to the piece, he really thinks first about what he wants it to look like, and may do some sketches. Mr. Flickinger says that most of his pieces have a "life and death" thing going on. His figures suggest something instead of saying just what it is. "I like to create objects that can be interpreted a lot of different ways. What is underneath is important and what is on the surface is important," he said. He enjoys making art that can instantly grab the viewer, so that people who are not necessarily interested in art can find something in it too. He said he likes to have that payoff for someone who actually pays attention to the artwork. "I like things that verge on the melodramatic," he said. "Bloodroot” is a good example of this, as is a carved wooden self-portrait, from head to toe, which he exhibited in a faculty show at the Corcoran recently. The self-portrait, besides his body, includes three glass bubbles. One encases a small bird wing, another is broken on the floor by his feet, with tiny pieces from a timepiece, and the third has some roots. All are open to interpretation, which is part of the fun of art, but the artist offers his own explanations for them too. Anyone's artwork is an extension of their personality, said Mr. Flickinger. He believes that his introspective side comes out more in his artwork. His brother's artwork, he said, always shows his happy side. •* -Mr. Flickinger has been influenced by a few sculptors in particular. His favorite is Genna Watson, a Maryland artist who does mixed media figurative work. "Her sensitivity to materials and surfaces are very dramatic," he said. He is also drawn to the traditional art of Rodin, and enjoys the dynamic poses he uses in many of his sculptures. Other favorites were Ed and Nancy Heinholz (Mr. Heinholz died recently), sculptors who produced installations in galleries worldwide. They showed figures in the environment, such as a scene from a diner, and range somewhere between surreal and political, said Mr. Flickinger.

The Amazing Art of Bread Making By BARBARA C. WAYLAND Rappahannock New* Start Writer Bread making is definitely an art even if you own a bread machine. The way that some people can make the perfect biscuit, excellent batch of rolls or the just right size loaf bread amazes me. Miss Mary Miller Wood of Washington deserves the award for ■Best Biscuit Maker." She shared her recipe with me and also for the Rappahannock News readers. Everytime, her Angel Biscuits are perfect. Her only advice was "just to continue to practice." Angel Biscuits 4 cups of flour (I use "Better for Bread" flour which is put out by Gold Medal in a yellow box.) 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon soda , 2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 cup shortening. (I use Crisco) Mix above ingredients together. ' Mix 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoons warm water, and 1 package of dry yeast. After yeast is dissolved mix with 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Then mix buttermilk and dry ingredients. Roll out to desired size. Brush with melted margarine. Bake at 450 degress until brown. . I contacted Marie Davis for her well-known yeast roll recipe. She cautions you to make sure the milk and/or water is just the right temperature to make the perfect roll. Quick Yeast Rolls . 2 packages active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm milk (105 to 115 degrees) 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons vegetable oil , 1 teaspoon salt 1 large egg, lightly beaten 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided Combine yeast and 1/2 cup warm milk in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Combine yeast mixture, remaining 1 cup milk, and next 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add 1 cup flour, stirring until smooth. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let stand in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 15 minutes. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead 3 to 4 times. Divide dough into 24 pieces; shape into balls. Place in 2 greased (9-inch) square pans. Cover and let stand in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 15 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown, Yield; 2 dozen. Several years ago I got a bread machine, at first I thought my bread seemed a bit tough but with practice you can learn the bread making techniques through this wonderful machine. However, I have never tried my machine to the limits like .Cheri Woodard of Sperryville. Despite her always busy schedule, Cheri has the leading edge on bread making. Following are some of her favorites. Homemade Pizza (With a little help from my bread machine) This recipe is for Dak or Welbilt bread machine. You may need to adapt the recipe for your specific machine. 1 tablespoon yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 cup commeal 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour 3 cups unbleached white flour 1 1/4 cup water (plus an additional 1 or 2 tablespoons if it looks dry after the first It) minutes of kneading) 2 tablespoons olive oil _& Have all ingredients at room temperature. Place all of the ingredients in the machine, program for manual or dough and press start. After the dough has gone through the rising and kneading cycle remove from the machine and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before rolling out. It is easier to work with a chilled pizza dough. Oil a large bowl and place the dough in it after it is finished in the machine. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. Punch the dough down and proceed. I often make dough up in advance and just keep in the refrigerator for when the mood strikes for a pizza. Baking Instructions If you have a pizza stone place it on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle either a wooden pizza paddle or a heavy-duty cookie sheet with cornmeal. Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Use a floured rolling pin to form 1 piece into a flat 10 to 12-inch disk. Add the toppings of your choice and either slide the pizza onto the hot stone or slide the cookie sheet into the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on how thick you made the crust or until the pizza is cooked all the way through. Serve hot. Toppings As you will see from this list, I use easy yet nontraditional pizza toppings. You can use either high-quality storebought pizza sauce or your own, and top the pizza with grated cheese. Count on about 1/2 cup tomato sauce for each pizza. Once you get the hang of it-you will see how much fun it is to experiment with all kinds of toppings. Olive oil and herbs: Brush olive oil on the entire pizza. Mince several cloves o^/garlic and spread over the olive oil. Sprinkle Italian seasonings over the entire pizza. This is good all by itself as an appetizer or is also a good base to continue building your pizza. Crumbled goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, sliced red onions and capers. Cooked sausage, crumbled, sliced red and green peppers and red onion, sliced. Cook shrimp, crumbled Feta cheese, and black olives. Pepperoni, sliced onion and sliced fresh tomatoes. When fresh basil is available, this can be chopped fine and sprinkled over the entire pizza for a delectable flavor. Breadsticks 1 recipe pizza crust (above) 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water 3 tablespoons sesame seeds or caraway seeds Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the rack in the center position. Grease 2 heavy-duty baking sheets or line them with foil, shiny side up. Divide the dough into 12 pieces. On a lightly floured board, roll each piece into a 4 by 2 1/2-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into four (4-inch) sticks. Transfer the sticks to the prepared sticks, leaving 1/2-inch between the sticks. Brush the top of each stick with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or caraway seeds. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Best served hot! Cooks Note: I love working with S my bread machine and making all( kinds of new things. The best cook- > book I have found for this purpose is: Bread Machine Baking — Perfect Every Time, by Lora Brody and Millie Apter. The authors adjust each recipe to the different machines that are on the market. Success is guaranteed! Makes 32 breadsticks.
