12 Pages Member Audit Bureau of Circulation WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1997 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 50 Cents Board Looks at Shift for Vocational Classes By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Public Schools is looking into teaching vocational education classes in-house instead of sending students to Piedmont Technical Education Center in Culpeper. The change would require an addition being built on the school, and studies have been completed to offer suggestions for doing this. The main reasons for teaching the classes here are cost and the time students spend for transporation to and from Piedmont. A Vocational/Technical Education Planning Team, comprised of educators and Rappahannock County citizens, completed their final report in November 1995. At the time the report was done, the local cost per Rappahannock student was $5,797.23. For Piedmont students, it cost an additional $3,732.56 for tuition and $659 for transportation, for a total of $10,188.79. Students spend 340 minutes total school time I per day, plus 105 minutes spent on the bus daily. Ten percent of the bus fleet is used to transport the students to Piedmont, putting 23,040 miles on these buses. An addition to the school would cost in the neighborhood of $1 million, with preliminary cost estimates by dBF Associates, Architects, ranging from $837,300 to $980,800, dated March 12, 1996. The vocational team recommends seven new classrooms for the following classes: Maintenance Repair and Lab, Home Care and Lab, Environmental and Water Technology and Lab and four classrooms. Other recommendations are to replace Home Economics with Cooking and Food Preparation (this has already been done); reorganize business classes to prepare for Sales Worker and Management Retail, Bookkeeping, Manager Clerk and Information Clerk; reorganize building trades into Occupational Building Trades, Carpenter, Mason, Electrician, Air Conditioning and Heatin; and to develop Career Exploration for 8th grade plus Electives Technology. The team also recommends maintaining an enrollment relationship with Piedmont for special programs like Firefighting and Practical Nursing. The only practical area for expansion would be where the girls’ softball field is now, See School, Page A-6 Ocean Motion ^ • Rappahannock News Siaff Ph«o/Jan LaVaHey From right to left, Tiffany Wayland, Zachary Ovington, Brett ; Heddleston and Megan Lee examine the shells and other items from the sea chest at Vacation Bible School being held at Washington Baptist ; Church, the theme of which is Ocean Motion.

By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer In response to a recent letter to the editor, Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Gangel was contacted for information regarding costs of children of non-resident employees who attend the county’s public schools. All answers are based on the 199697 school year. How much funding would the schools not receive if the non-resident children currently enrolled were not present for the attendance county? A total of $28,191.93. There are 13 students currently attending the schools who are children of non-resident teachers. Dr. Gangel said that the school system receives a total of $2,281.74 for each child from state and federal funds; the schools receive no funds from the county for them. Deducted from the figure was $81.24 for textbooks and $31.89 for supplies for each student. The 13 students are mostly in the elementary school, with three each in kindergarten and second grade, and two each in first and third grade. The other three students are one each in ninth, tenth and eleventh grade. If those students were required to pay out-of-county tuition, however, that figure would be a total of $48,828 ($3,756 x 13). That money could be used for anything, said Dr. Gangel. Dr. Gangel said there are some costs paid by the county, such as supplies and textbooks, but said “I think the funding brought in from other sources more than makes up for it.” He added that the presence of the children has not required any additional classroom space, teachers or aides. Also, he said, typically the children are brought to school by their parents and do not ride the buses. The policy prohibits extra personnel being hired as a result of enrolling nonresident students, and states that “transportation to and from school and any schoolrelated activities must be provided at the sole cost of the parents of nonresident students.” The paragraph in the nonresident admission policy as it reads now says, “Full-time, regular employees who are nonresidents of the county may enroll their children in county schools without paying tuition as long as such enrollment creates no significant disruption to the operations of the school division. Such nonresident employees’ children may attend the county school where the class size best allows for enrollment.” In an earlier school board meeting this year, Dr. Gangel recommended that the school board delete this paragraph. To Preserve Records By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer “If we don’t preserve our history we can lose our collective memory and lose our ability to preserve and plan for the future,” said Doug Baumgardner, Rappahannock attorney and president of the Rappahannock Historical Society. Mr. Baumgardner, along with the Historical Society’s members and other citizens, are concerned about the state of disrepair of the Society’s building on Gay Street in Washington, Va. The building has no air conditioning or climate control, the roof leaks and there is no security system in place, all of which, said Mr. Baumgardner, are threats to the priceless historical documents and other items of historical interest housed there. “The building houses records that have accumulated over a long period and many are really priceless,” said Mr. Baumgardner. “There are letters of William Jennings Bryan, who had cousins here and visited often. We have records pertaining to the genealogy of families here. Those See Society, Page A-6 rC : ; < • June 19 - At 10 a.m.. The Library , .

Town Boundary Expansion Issue A Real Hornet's Nest By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer At last week’s Town Council meeting the budget for the year 1997/98 was approved by the Council. Mayor Stew Willis said that the town needs someone on a regular basis who can do maintenance on the water system. Council member Steve Critzer added that the town needs a contract with a company who can be called 24 hours a day if needed. Louise Van Dort said she will check with other water systems to see if they are on a maintenance contract. She also suggested getting a list together of what would need to be done. Walt Longyear presented a petition to the Town Council last week, with 70 signatures, and said there were more coming, signed by people who are opposed to expanding the boundaries of the town. He gave it to Mayor Willis. “This issue is a hornet’s nest,” he said. Ray Gooch, chairman of the Town Futures Committee responded that the committee would like to know the reason why people do not want to be in the town. There is a general misconception, he said, that the Futures Committee would be developing undeveloped areas in town. “We are saying we need to be prepared for development when it comes,” he stated. Mr. Gooch, said that the committee will bring a professional planner to the next meeting of the Futures Committee. The planner, Milton Herd, is from Loudoun County and has been recommended by both County Administrator John McCarthy and Town Attorney Frank Reynolds. Mr. Herd has substantial experience in planning for small towns, said Mr. Gooch. The committee will talk to Mr. Herd about long range plans for the town, and the public will be invited to that meeting. The date for the meeting will be announced once Mr. Herd has been reached to set up a date. A letter opposing the expansion of town boundaries was received by the Futures Committee from Joseph B. Reid, who grew up in Washington. In part, the letter said, “The recent ongoing discussions on extending the town limits of Washington, Va. caught us by complete surprise. Such a change can only lead to a development of the scenic areas bordering the town and destroy the very beautiful features that make our Washington unique to us and to everyone who visits us.” Elaine Viguerie asked if the committee would cease discussion on the boundary issue. Mayor Stew Willis said they will take it under consideration. At last week’s meeting the budget for the year 1997/98 was approved by the Council. Mayor Willis said that the town needs someone on a regular basis who can do maintenance on the water system. Council member Steve Critzer added that the town needs a contract with See Council, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan LaValley The Rappahannock Historical Society Building, located on Gay Street in Washington, Va., is in serious need of repair.

To Our Readers On July 2 the Rappahannock News, along with the rest of Times Community Newspapers, will join a growing number of newspapers around the country that are changing to a narrower page size. Major studies have shown that this new size provides a newspaper that is easier to read and more comfortable to the reader. While the new size is a bit smaller, we will not be reducing the amount of space devoted to news coverage. You will find all the news, features, sports and advertising you have come to expect, in a newspaper that is a little easier to hold and fold. By reducing the width of our newspaper page by an inch we use less newsprint, providing a number of positive benefits. It has»a signif icant positive impact on the environment by reducing the amount of newsprint to be recycled by approximately 10- percent. It reduces our cost of operation and allows us to keep the cost of subscriptions and advertising affordable to our customers. Additionally, ' it helps us maintain competitive staffing levels to ensure a quality news product. The Rappaharmock News and Times Community Newspapers have always been on the forefront of positive change. We are among the first newspapers in Virginia to make this move and we think from both a reader standpoint and for the environment, its the right thing to do. We hope you agree and we look forward to your comments. Peter Arundel, President

The accident occurred at 10:38 a.m. when Kelly Dean, of Rixeyville, who was traveling northbound on Route 640 in her 1985 Honda, rounded a curve and hit the rear end of Mr. Means’ 1987 Volkswagen sedan. Mr. Means was backing up in a southbound direction into the northbound lane when Ms. Dean’s car rounded the curve, and could not avoid hitting him. Ms. Dean suffered minor injuries. The damage to her vehicle was estimated at $3,000. The damage to Mr. Means’ car was $2,000, according to Virginia State Trooper Sean Knick who investigated the accident. A deer was the stated cause of a single vehicle accident on Route 707, near U.S. 522 on June 13. Eric Vannostrande, of Boston, Va., told Virginia State Trooper W.A. Sumner that a deer caused him to swerve off the road to the right thereby sending his 1990 Nissan pickup into a culvert and tree stump. He suffered minor injuries. Mr. Vannostrande was charged with reckless driving. A 16-year-old boy from Viewtown was charged with reckless driving following an accident on Route 621 on Thursday, June 5. The boy was driving north on Route 621 when he crested a hill, ran off the right side of the road and hit a fence and tree, according to a report by Virginia State Trooper W.A. Sumner. The boy suffered minor injuries and the Oldsmobile he was driving was deemed a total loss. The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department also dealt with a deer related accident on June IS on U.S. 522. Claude Herndon, of Madison, luckily suffered no injuries when a deer jumped out into the road, hitting his 1995 Ford pickup, at 6:12 a.m. His truck was not so lucky and had $1500 worth of damages according to Deputy Connie S. Compton who responded to the accident. A reported motorcycle theft from a residence off Route 664 in Huntly is under investigation, said Sheriff Gary Settle. The 1985 or 86 Honda was taken on June 13. The bike is valued at $1500. Sheriff Settle said there are several leads in the case. Also under investigation by the Sheriff’s Department is a larceny which occurred on June 10 or 11 of lumber, estimated at $150, from a residence on Route 681.

The •damage is estimated at around $100 and the incident is still under investigation said Sheriff Settle. Solution for Wastewater Treatment Presented By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Representatives from Nature Works, Inc. of Alexandria presented a program explaining “Living Machine” to interested homeowners at the Washington Town Hall last Thursday night. Mature Works is a company that provides sglutions for wastewater treatment. According to the company, “A Living Machine is an effective and economical system for biological treatment of high strength industrial wastewater and sewage.” It is a natural way to purify water that can then be used for irrigation or to flush toilets. In a managed environment, in a greenhouse, light shelter or in the open air, organisms (bacteria, plants, snails and fish) break down and digest organic pollutants. Dr. John Todd has been instrumental in developing the Living Machine. In connection with it, he has received numerous awards, including the Chrysler Award for Industrial Design in 1994 and the Environmental Merit Award from the U.S. EPA in 1996. The company says that the advantages of the living machine, which can be used instead of a drainfield, are: 1) It enables customers to recycle treated water or discharge to the environment. Clients realize significant RECYCLE Dr. Jeffrey Bell, M.D. 18 pleased to announce the establishment of: COMMONWEALTH OBSTETRICS and GYNECOLOGY. Inc. 428 HOSPITAL DRIVE, WARRENTON, VIRGINIA Board Certified by American College ' of Obstetrics and Gynecology 7b schedule an appointment call, (540) 349-0100 annual cost savings by eliminating sewer surcharges, minimizing sludge disposal costs and reducing water pur* chases; 2) It is biologically diverse and can treat a wide variety of waste streams. They are naturally resistant to drastic changes or “shock loaBs” in the waste stream. Operators enjoy ease of operation and highly reliable treatment performance; 3) Sludge handling and disposal expenses are significantly lower than for conventional technologies. Sludge is consumed in the process, greatly reducing sludge quantity compared with conventional biological treatment. Optional on-site sludge composting with reed beds minimizes sludge handling costs; 4) Particularly for higher-strength waste streams that require treatment to reuse standards. Living Machines typically offer lower initial capital costs and lower annual operating costs than conventional alternatives. They can also be designed to accommodate ready expansion in future years. This allows owners to match capital outlays with the growth of the business or community. Some of their clients have been' South Burlington, Vermont (treats 80,000 gallons per day Of municipal sewage from about 1,600 residential‘ users); Museum of Science and Industry, Florida; National Audubon Society, Florida; and Findhom Foundation in the U.K. For more information Nature Works, Inc. may be reached at (703) 660-6792.

He also added “Never forget, you become the ethics you practice. Use honor and honesty and courage and knowledge in your life and you will be known for it and will be, indeed, ethical... There is no substitute for excellence. You have learned excellence here at Wakefield. Practice it. Be the best in all that you do. Not just in your job, but also as a parents, in your church, in whatever associations or organizations you are a part of, in all you do. And if you do — if you practice excellence, that is what you will become and that is what you will be known for. Basics are the courage and knowledge you were taught here at Wakefield. It is the ethics and excel lence your teachers here imparted to you. Basics are the courtesies and morals and love of family and love of country you learned from your parents and your church and your community... A life of knowledge, courage, ethics, and excellence will make the next millennium and your life in that millennium very good indeed.” Also speaking to the audience comprised of students, faculty, families, and friends were Valedictorian, Andrew Nilan of Warrenton and Salutatorian, Bridget Hickson of Front Royal. Mr. Nilan expressed his gratitude for the opportunities WCDS gave him and his fellow seniors for personal growth and credited the small, intimate nature of the school with giving him numerous opportunities to take an active role in his subjects of study.

Hurricane Fran dramatically proved that here last year. * Although Fran had weakened to a tropical storm when it entered Virginia last September, it produced tremendous flooding and wind damage. » Eight people were killed as a result of the storm and damages exceeded $300 million in the state. • Big Meadows recorded over 15 inches of rain during a 12 hour yeriod.

Gardener Tim Davis, center, gave them tastes of toured the gardens at The Inn at Little Washington on fresh mint in one of the herb gardens at The Inn. i Freedom: What Does It Really Mean? u Laurie Marshall’s class at Whole Family Learning Center, from the Middle School of Hearthstone, did a survey of the Town of Washington, Va. on “What Freedom Means.” On May 16, students interviewed people in town. These are the spontaneous answers they received: Health Department Worker, Charlotte Freeman, born in Charlottesville: “Being free means I am free to choose any religion and free to choose my job and free to choose my life.” Post Mistress, Nina Coats, bom in Miami Beach, Fla.: “It means I can do what I want within reason. 1 can get a job doing anything I want if I’m smart enough. I can buy what I want and make any friend. The only thing standing in the way of my freedom is me.” Shop Owner, Miranda Plotnick, bom in Brooklyn, N.Y: “Freedom means the right to express myself and do what I want as long as I’m not hurting somebody. It’s important to think seriously about what it means to hurt somebody... Some of the most important lessons I’ve learned have come from when I’ve been hurt.” Shop Owner, Elaine Kramer, bom in Alexandria: “Freedom is being able to choose what I want to choose, to do what I want to do and to let it sing. I’ve chosen to start a business. It’s a lot of work and a lot of fun.” Shop Attendant, Lisa Betz, bom in Gering, Neb: “The freedom to go where ever you want is very important. My ancestors came from Germany. They went on the Oregon Trail and then they settled in Nebraska where the town of Gering was named after them.” Government Worker, Louise Ellis, bom in Washington, D.C.: “Freedom means a world with no unjust prosecution.” Deputy Sheriff, Jeff Peyton, bom in Culpeper: “Being able- to go outside when you want instead of being in a cell is freedom. Knowing when you wake up that you have more than an 11 by 15 inch space to walk in, and knowing that you can see your family. When you’re in jail, you can’t see your family.” Construction Foreman, Norbert Perez, bom in Belize: “Freedom is a wonderful thing. I love it!” Silversmith, Chris Goodine, bom in Plymouth, N.H.: “Freedom means that I can express myself artistically, which means I must be disciplined. I must know how to handle the tools of my craft. I made an invention which produces 300 silver wave links in a hour instead of 100 in 3 hours. That gives me more opportunity to experiment with designs as well as more financial freedom.” Gallery Operator & Painter, June Jordan, bom in Rockingham: “Freedom always has responsibility with it. Most important, freedom is a state of mind. Even if we are in ji prison cell, we are still free as to what we think.” The kids who did the interviews were: Aron Weisgerber, Kali Clark', /fGaelan' Finny-Day, Daniel Slack, Ashley Dunn and Damien Hallett.

Resource Guide Coming Out Soon 'THE GREEN PAGES' Has Answers About Businesses A recent market search identified 480 businesses, offices, churches, and associations here in Rappahannock County. Additionally, it is estimated that the county has over 80 full time agricultural enterprises. As a result, a “blind survey” was conducted of three percent of the households in the county. Two very important facts were identified: 1. To the question, would you buy here in the county if you knew the business was available. All answered that they would. 2. To the question, what business or service does Rappahannock need, all but 10 stated businesses that are already in existence here in the county, but they did not know they were here. Looking at the county government listings in the three telephone books, it can be very confusing and frustrating to find a telephone number, receive services and conduct county business. The result is “THE GREEN PAGES,” a handy county resource guide sponsored by the Rappahannock County Businesses and Government. “THE GREEN PAGES” will be hand delivered free this summer to all households and businesses in the county. ‘THE GREEN PAGES” has detailed information on the county offices and service available, points of contact, telephone numbers, deadlines, charges, and supplemental information. ; Following the County Government Section is an alphabetical listing of the Rappahannock businesses for handy reference followed by a section of the businesses, association, and churches listed by business category. There is a section for county events, carnivals, festivals and such and 10 pages of blank paper for personal notes and telephone numbers. If 3rd Level is contacted, all privately sponsored groups (cancer, head - injury, grieving, etc.) will be listed free of charge. Four very affordable listing “packages” are available ranging from $35 for one listing in the alphabetical listing and the listing under the business categories, to $85 for a slogan, multiple telephone numbers, E-mail, web sites, etc. and up to 10 business category listings (brochure attached). Initial reception by the county businesses contacted has been extremely encouraging, with virtually all businesses contacted to date purchasing listings in ‘THE GREEN PAGES.” This initial contact resulted in 3rd Level receiving numerous calls from residents looking for businesses and services here in the county. Equally important as a consumer publication “THE GREEN PAGES” is a critical source of information for county businesses to “network” and identify each other capabilities. According to the 1990 Census, Rappahannock County generates over 96 million dollars in income. If our citizens shifted their buying habits by one percent as a result of knowing Rappahannock County businesses are available to them, it would generate $960,000 in sales and services and up to $10,000 in county revenue from sales tax. As we say in “THE GREEN PAGES” brochure: “You can go to school, get married, buy land, build a house, finance your dreams, find work, be treated for your ills, raise your children, go on vacation, buy all of your needs: furniture, groceries, carpets, clothes, insurance, cars, gifts and presents, appliances, computers. And you never have to leave the county!” Chris Salmon, general partner of 3rd Level is available to provide information and discuss what will be an annual publication. ► Council ”” From Page A-l a company who can be called 24 hours a day if needed. Louise Van Doit said she will check with other water systems to see if they are on a maintenance contract. She also making a list of what would need to be done. Joey Eldred read a letter to the council from his late father, Charles J. Eldred Jr., who passed away on May 8. Mr. Eldred resigned from the Architectural Review Board (ARB) due to his illness. In the letter he thanked the council for their dedication and efforts and for their service to the Town of Washington. One of the paragraphs of the letter read, “I teamed to care about this place soon after coming here in the fall of 1975. There, was no earth-shaking event I did not suffer the puppy-love affair that many weekenders go through before becoming permanent residents. This was simply a nice place to live and finish rearing our children. I was assured by my late father-in-law that I would never be a native. I was unable to see that this, if a shortcoming, had left him terribly scarred, so I therefore joined the ranks of residents-bychoice.” New resident to the town Ann Richards was nominated and approved as the new member of the town Architectural Review Board (ARB) to replace Charles Eldred. Tanya Richey was nominated as a possible replacement, but as she is not presently a town resident, she does not qualify to be on the ARB. The council then opened the floor to public discussion and adjourned to take those interested to view the water pump areas. ► Society From Page A-l record a substantial part of Rappahannock’s heritage and there is a threat to that.” “If we’re going to preserve the records of Rappahannock County we must make improvements to the building,” he said. In order to do that, the Society is planning a fundraiser set for August 8. It will be held at Mr. Baumgardner’s home near Washington, Va. The mission of the Historical Society is to record the county’s history, preserve it and educate people about it. The recent book “The Seasons of War”, which was critically well received, by Professor t)aniel Sutherland mentions the portrait of Rev. Barnett Grimsley. The actual portrait is housed here in the Historical Society building, as is the one of his wife. There is also a portrait of Gideon Brown. These are significant works of art, said Mr. Baumgardner, and they must be protected. The Society is looking for sponsors in order to raise the necessary funds it needs. A gold sponsor would be for a $500 donation; a silver sponsor, a $250 donation; a bronze sponsor, a $100 donation; and a community sponsor, a $50 donation. Contributions may be mailed to the Rappahannock Historical Society, 328 Gay Street, P.O. Box 61, Washington, Va. 22747, or they may be delivered to the Historical Society building Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Society also has speakers featured at their monthly meetings. They hope to have Prof. Sutherland to speak at one of their future meetings and to have a program on the history of Shenandoah National Park. “What would it be like, as individuals, to lose our memories? We would have trouble functioning — doing basic things to live productive lives,” said Mr. Baumgardner. “History is society’s collective memory. We can’t lose that.” ENTIRE STOCK OF SWIMWEAR FOR MISSES & JUNIORS Take advantage of great savings on misses' one- and two-piece swimwear and cover-ups by Jantzen, Mainstream, Body I.D. and others.

He mentioned some possible changes: move the softball field to where the baseball field is now. Because a softball field takes up less room than baseball, the parking lot could be expanded also. Move the baseball to the area between the elementary school and the school board office but still have a soccer field there. There would still be room for a track at the high school. Dr. Gangel said that he hoped that he and the board could have specific recommendations to present to the Board of Supervisors this fall. Dr. John Tole, Chairman of the School Board, encourages members of the community to express any ideas they have to members of the school board. At last month’s school board meeting, Mark Pace attended with several female soccer players asking if the school could have a girls’ soccer team. Helen Williams, Director of Pupil Personnel, studied the matter and gave the results of her study at this month’s meeting. She said the total cost, for both varsity and junior varsity girls’ soccer teams, would be a total of $6900. There are only two single A schools in the area who play spring soccer, but there are many private schools that have teams. Though she is all for the school having girls’ soccer, Mrs. Williams expressed her concerns over the lack of buses and drivers. In her report, she said, “Spring is the worst time for buses and athletic trips; this year we had days when we had no emergency buses in the lot, while 21 buses were running their regular routes.” Also on the subject of sports, Athletic Director Mike "Ripper told the' board he had three goals. He wants more coaches hired (assistant coaches for JV soccer, varsity soccer, JV softball, JV baseball, and two assistant coaches for track. He also feel sthat the emphasis needs to be on track right now. ‘This school needs it. We know we have the Evita To Play At The Theatre RAAC will present “Evita” (PG) on June 20 at 8 p.m. The movie “Evita,” built around the songs of the 1976 concept album by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, is a double-edged Cinderella tale that tracks Eva Peron’s journey from illegitimate birth to the pinnacle of power as the most precious political asset of Juan Peron (Jonathon Pryce). Madonna Louise Ciccone stars as Eva Peron, one of the most maligned and adored figures of the century. The movie tracks her rise as a celebrity. Running time: 12S minutes. students who will participate,” he said. “We have reached our limit of new sports at this time. I don’t want to start another program that we cannot fully support,” he said. He said he is adamant about hiring more coaches, having a track and an intramural program. That program could be a link between the elementary schools, with either 6th, 7th and 8th graders playing together on teams or 7th, 8th and 9th graders. Mr. Tapper told the board that he spends over 130 nights a year working at the school past 9:30 p.m., and said they might want to start looking at a separate athletic director position. Dr. Tole expressed his support of a girls’ soccer team, as he sees a significant level of interest in soccer for girls. Mr. Tupper said he also supports it, and hopes the schools can have all the teams they want Dr. Gangel said he felt the girls’ soccer teams should be given consideration, and the subject was tabled for further discussion. Ron Makela said the board had just , gone through a budget cycle and already there are requestes. A long range plan would help the budgeting process, he said. Dennis wingfield sahe he felt the whole athletic program needed to be looked at realistically. Literacy passport scores for the Rappahannock County public schools rose dramatically for 1997. The 1997 score was 79.5, compared to 47.3 for 1996. Other years’ scores were: 1990, 59.3; 1991,69.7; 1992,72.3; 1993,82.6; 1994, 73.6; 1995, 62.1. The state comparison is not yet known, said Dr. Gangel, but he guesses the schools here are in the top 10 percent. Memoers voted to raise me tuncn prices 25 cents at both schools, because of increases in food expenditures and health insurance rates that have risen dramatically since 1994. In a survey of surrounding counties, all of the counties chaige more for cafeteria lunches at the schools instead of Madison County. The price will increase to $1.25 at the elementary school and $1.50 at the high school. This should generate over $31,000 annually, said Dr. Gangel. Also in the cafeterias, drink and snack machines will be replaced with new drink and snack machines with juices and foods which meet the state nutritional guidelines. A new mobile unit, paid for entirely by a grant, is being installed at the high school for alternative education classes. After nearly a year since its introduction to the board, the General Leave. Policy for public school employees was approved by the board. Mr. Makela voted against. Before voting on the policy, Dr. Tole and Mr. Wingfield both said they had heard from some faculty members who said they felt they had not been included in the drafting of the policy. The policy now takes into account 12-month employees as well as faculty, and will be on a trial basis. Bids for two new school buses were received from three companies and opened at the meeting. The lowest bidder was Sonny Merryman, Inc., asking $75,988 for two buses. The Piedmont Environmental Council donated two copies of the book Hallowed Ground, presented to the board by Bob Dennis, former president of the PEC.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1997 July Events Will Focus on Our Water Resources Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Hunt Harris of the Ragged Mountain Rescource Center is organizing a series of events focusing on water in July. He hopes it will bring the community together to discuss future water needs for the county. There will be a panel discussion on the issue July 11 at the library at 7:30 p.m. Photo Courtesy of Kimberly Shafran Kimberly Shafran, Mrs. Rappahannock Shafran First Runner Up in State Pageant Mrs. Rappahannock County, Kimberley Shafran, placed as first runner-up in the Mrs. Virginia International Pageant. She also won the aerobic wear competition. The pageant was held over three days in Roanoke (May 30, 31 and June 1). Fifty women competed in interviews, on-stage questions, aerobic wear and evening gown. The Mrs. Virginia pageant system stresses commitment to marriage and traditional family value. Mrs. Shafran, 38. lives in Viewtown with her husband Tom and two sons, Alex, 7 and Brian, 3. She is on the Board of Directors of an Area Red Cross Chapter. She earned a B.A. in jourdalism and TV news from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Her platform stressed the importance of everyone being trained in CPR. Mrs. Shafran, who’s never been involved in pageants before says it was a wonderful experience and challenge, but she’s relieved it’s over. She had numerous friends and family members in Roanoke to support her — some from as far away as Texas. She was extremely proud to have represented Rappahannock County — a place she dearly loves. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer “From the Blue Ridge to the Bay” is the title for a major focus on water to be held during the month of July in Rappahannock County. Hunt Harris of the Ragged Mountain Resource Center has organized numerous educational and recreational events to be held in the county during July. He feels it is a good idea to bring the community together to discuss the future potential needs for water in Rappahannock County. “With the increased need and demands for water quality and quantity in this region, whether it be for building, agricultural purposes or whatever, we have to look at the common sense practical ways of addressing water as a basic resource need for everyone,” said Mr. Harris. One of the major events of the month will be a panel discussion on Friday, July 11, at the library. County Administrator John McCarthy will be the moderator. Panel members will be Collin Powers of the Department of Environmental Quality, Jay Gilliam of the Virginia Izaak Walton League (also head of the water quality monitoring programs in Virginia); Chris Miller, president of Piedmont Environmental Council; John Rice, of ENSAT (which did a groundwater study in Spenyville); Kristen Anderson, Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District (the organizer of a Rappahannock River watershed study). Representatives from the following groups — the health department, Rappahannock Farmers Association, Shenandoah National Park, Rappahannock River watershed planning group, Rappahannock River planning district commission, 4-H, and Joiner Labs — have been invited to be a part of the audience and bring relevant questions for the panel. . Mr. Harris promises there will be a good discussion about the relevant issues about how we can all maintain water quality in the future. The Rappahannock River, he said, is one of the most scenic and cleanest rivers in the east and we want to maintain it. He felt that after the clean-up last year of the headwaters of the Rappahannock River in Chester Gap that water would continue to be a cornerstone issue for him, the county, and the community at large. An art show about water will be held at the Middle St. Gallery in Washington, with an opening to be held on July 6 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. All media may be included in the show, including video, outside installations, dance, music, photographs, and other artwork. Water-related poetry readings will also take place during the opening, and everyone is invited to participate. Other events taking place during July will be videos and movies relating to water; a hike along the Covington and Piney Rivers, which are tributaries of the Rappahannock River, on July 12; a slide show on streambank restoration with a representative of the Army Corps of Engineers, a talk regarding environmental aspects of the Agricultural Stewardship Act (ASA), the official debut of the County Comer at the Rappahannock library (displays of water-related books and other information), also at the library, selected websites on water-related topics will be bookmarked on the computer; and a river or stream project as part of the monthly water monitoring network on July 19. Future projects include floats (tubing), hikes, and canoe trips to increase participation in water issues. Mr. Harris wants to include entertainment, recreation and education. “We will share this amazing gift of the resource of water,” he said. Schedules for all the happpenings will be posted at the library, Middle St. Gallery, Mountainside Market and in the Rappahannock News at a later date. County Administrator John McCarthy said, “This county has been proactive on water issues.” A lot has been done regarding water in the county to protect our rivers and those downstream from us. People in Fredericksburg should want to keep Rappahannock County rural, said Mr. McCarthy, as they get their drinking water from the Rappahannock River which has its headwaters in this county. “Nothing pollutes like urban development — strip shopping centers, parking lots, intense development,” said Mr. McCarthy. So when legislation comes up in Richmond regarding anything to do with keeping Rappahannock rural and agricultural, people from Fredericksburg should be there supporting us, said Mr. McCarthy. Even though agricultural practices may contribute to some water pollution, it just doesn’t compare to urban development. Rappahannock County had a pollution potential map done six or seven years ago which measures water quality. Flood plain areas have been identified in the county, and a household drinking water study was done which tested ten percent of wells in the county. Also, a hydrological study of water sources was done in Sperryville. Mr. McCarthy is looklhgTorward to the water issues being discussed. “I think it is great. I hope it raises some consciousness. Protecting the quality of the water could not be more important,” he said. “Anyone interested in the present or future needs for water in this region can and should participate in our month-long focus, particularly by attending the panel discussion on ' Friday, July 11 at the county library,” said Mr. Harris. The discussion will begin at 7:30 p.m., but Mr. Harris recommends arriving between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. T Vacation Bible School Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan LaValley Above, one of Charlotte Nichols* singing groups at the Vacation Bible School going on this week at Washington Baptist Church. The event is a joint effort of Washington Baptist and Trinity Episcopal Church. Corrine Smith is the leader this year and over 110 children are participating.

The Graceful Swallows of Flint Hill On my walks to the Post Office in Flint Hill I see brown swallows diving, swooping and turning in the air with such speed it is difficult to follow them. They are graceful birds with brownish backs and a pale wash-of tan across the throat. I finally saw one well when it perched on a utility wire around the corner from the bank on Route 647. Before the view that finally identified them for me, 1 stood one day nearly opposite the Flint Hill store and swallow watched for perhaps fifteen minutes. How odd I must have looked, standing in the middle of town with no seeming purpose. That was soon after we moved here. By now I suppose neighbors are used to my strange behavior. The swallows swooped over Route 522 in no pattern apparent to me. They were snatching insects from the air like the other members of the family familiar to most of us: Bam Swallows and Purple Martins. When the brown bird I was trying to follow in its erratic flight pitched into a drain pipe in a masonry wall, I knew its name: the Roughwinged Swallow. It is not a common bird by any measure though it does occur throughout the United States and Canada. In that drain pipe the bird had built a nest. As summer progressed I often watched these birds as one, then the other, swirled through the air and, without losing speed, disappeared into the All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist wall. They were feeding young regurgitated, partially digested insects which had been formed into a ball in their throats. That was two years ago. The swallows have returned from the tropics to nest in a particular drain pipe in a handsome stone wall and to swoop in and around the cars and trucks moving north and south on Route 522. As always, I am in awe of the feats of migration. These brown birds spend the winter from southern Mexico to as far south as Argentina. Martins nest in colonies, using man-made structures put up for them. Bam Swallows, also colony nesters, build their mud and feather-lined nests on buildings and in bams. Their territories are only in the immediate vicinity of the nest, oniy a foot or less. This they guard fiercely. They feed over the fields, where they plunge and dive through the air with grace and speed. This feeding area may be as large as a square mile. What’s a five acre field to a bird of such swift flight? Rough-winged Swallows are the only members of the family to be solitary nesters. Apparently they do not require the close proximity of their own kind. Swallows are not known for their vocal skills though I can not think of any sound so reassuring, so full of all-isright-with-the-world, than the liquid calls of Purple Martins early in the morning. For Bam Swallows, a series of twittering — almost conversationalnotes serve as a song. An intruder near a nesting colony is scolded, by what E.B. White in Charlotte’s Web interprets, as chee-ky, chee-ky. Impudent, in other words. 1 agree with Mr. White on that. All I have ever heard from Roughwinged Swallows is an unbird-like brrt. Questions about the brown swallows of Flint Hill sent me to my books. The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds and Life Histories of North American Swallows. There I found that much is not known of their behavior. Is there any wonder at this? Rough-winged Swallows are swift and difficult to follow; at the same time they nest in dark holes in the earth, or in the case of the Flint Hill birds, deep in a drain pipe set into a stone wall. It was John James Audubon, who, on seeing the birds in October in Louisiana in 1819, realized that this swallow was different and was, indeed, unknown to science.. At the end of his description of the newly-discovered species, he wrote: “I leaned against a tree, and gazed on the Swallows, wishing that I could travel with such ease and rapidity as they and thus return to my family as they could to their winter quarters.” His wife, Lucy Bakewell Audubon, and their two sons were in Pennsylvania. I also gazed at the swallows and admired their flight, only I was leaning against a stone wall instead of a tree. The handsome white house behind the swallows nest pipe has a ‘for sale sign in the yard. I don’t think the swallows are going to buy though they pay rent with all the gnats, mosquitoes and flies that they capture in swift flight. Unlike Audubon, I didn’t want to be anywhere except right here in Flint Hill.

Calcium Intake Essential for All Ages By CHRISTINE KASTAN Bstaarioa Afents, Family ami Comwacr °-|ynrm Yes, we know calcium, especially the calcium in milk, is needed by children to help build strong bones and teeth. But what about adults of all ages? They too need good sources of calcium every day to maintain the bone mass laid down during the years of growth. Recently the National Institute for Health has recommended “optimal” amounts of daily calcium intakes. These amounts are higher than the Recqmmended Dietary Allowances (RDA) by approximately 200 milligrams (mg.). The RDA for adult men and women aged 25 to 50 is 800 mg. so the optimal amount then in 1000 mg. per day. The optimal amount recommended for postmenopausal women not on estrogen and adults Families Taking Charge over 65 is 1500 mg. per day. The “optimal” amount of calcium is the level which will most favorably affect overall health and reduce chronic disease risk throughout an individuals lifetime. These optimal levels will maximize peak bone mass (about age 30 to 35), maintain adult bone mass and minimize bone loss in later years. Bone mass, or density, is important in the prevention of Osteoporosis and recent evidence suggests calcium also plays an important role in the prevention of other chronic diseases such as hypertension and colon cancer. Current calcium intake among adult men and women does not meet the Recommended Dietary Guideline level let alone the “optimal” level. More than half of men and women in the U.S. do not eat an adequate amount of calcium. After age 35 about three quarters of the women in the U.S. do not meet the guideline. Calcium comes from several sources with milk foods being the most concentrated and the best utilized by the body. An 8 ounce glass of milk (regular, low fat or skim) contains 300 mg. An 8 ounce cup of yogurt contains about 350 mg. of calcium. Calcium supplements are often a source but often do not contain concentrated amounts. Also, the calcium is not easily used by the body. Certain plant foods contain calcium but two or three servings are needed to get the same amount of calcium as one glass of milk and the oxalates and phytates in the plant interfere with the calcium absorption. Soy products such as tofu and soybeans as well as canned fish with bones have calcium. To add up your daily calcium intake Virginia Cooperative Extension has a handout called the Calcium Checklist. There is also information about fats and reading labels on calcium rich foods. To receive your copy call your local Extension office today at 675-3619.
