Feel-good festival in Woodville By Bonnie Price Lofton Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Jeff Light of Woodville is local proof that one perBon can make history if he persists. Against skepticism, against apathy, against little money and short time. Light asked that this article on Woodville’s 200th birthday focus on the smiles on peoples faces and on the cooperation of a myriad of community groups. “Don't write about me,” he said. Sorry, Jeff. This story must begin and end with you. No question, the Woodville Bicentennial last Saturday was a huge feel-good festival. But probably everyone in Rappahannock knows this by now, given that a large percentage of us showed up. What Rappahannock res*, idents may not realize is that the idea for a celebration didn’t even exist until Light hatched it in June. Light had been fretting for six years over cars going 65 miles per hour on Route 522 in Woodville, speeding within yards of his stately frame house. A few years ago, he had put up a tall fence between his 1799 house and the highway, but the speeders still rankled. Route 522 is like a dagger bisecting the heart of Woodville. At Woodville Baptist , Church, - elderly drivers entering and living., the parking lot risk collisions with speeders. Neighbors keep their dogs indoors for fear of their being hit. Parents hesitate to let their children brave the highway to visit a facing house. Five years ago Light decided to counteract the deadening effect of the highway by organizing a community party in his backyard. It '' / ? i.- . i -111 .■ mi has become an annual affair. His buddy across the road, Henry B. Wood III, has hosted it for the last two years. A year ago, a petition to reduce the epeed limit m the * village from 45 mph to 35 mph was circulated at Woodville’s annual party, and 160 people signed it. Light Saw that the petition made it to the appropriate local and state policy-makers, but the speed limit remained unchanged. Meanwhile, architect Ibm Tepper of Castleton See WOODVILLE, Page 5 Expansion under focus at forum By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last night Vem McKissick of Hayes Large Architects, County Administrator John McCarthy and RCHS principal Jack Raines discussed the issue of the high school expansion and answered questions posed by those attending the forum arranged by Headwaters at the high school. Last month the Rappahannock School Board voted in favor of a resolution requesting the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to issue general obligation school bonds in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000. The supervisors approved the resolution and set the date for a public hearing on the issue for Oct. 5. The “Project,” as the school board has designated the expansion and capital improvement plans for the high school, totals $3,012,731. This does not include future projects: re-roof the balance of the high school; create a new track/athletic field at the high school; and create a 300 sq. ft. toilet facility at the new site of the athletic fields. McKissick and Raines presented a review of what had been discussed to date by the school board in various meetings leading up to their request for the bonds to be issued. McCarthy discussed the financial aspects of the situation should the board of supervisors approved the sale of the bonds. He said about 62 percent of the school budget is See FORUM, Page 5 Grigsby charged with grand larceny By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Matthew Shawn Grigsby, 19, of Washington, Va., who was charged a week ago with unauthorized use of a vehicle, a felony, and trespassing, a class I misdemeanor, was charged this week with grand larceny and unlawful entry in connection with the other crimes.. Grigsby allegedly stole a TV/VCR combination from the home of David Clanagan on or before Sept. 2. He at first denied the additional charges but gave information to deputies of the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office that led to the recovery of the TV/VCR. Capt. Chris Williams said that Deputy Jeff Peyton then requestioned Grigsby about the incident and Grigsby confessed he had stolen the TV/VCR. As a result of an investig*-* tion into the complaint by Clanagan the sheriffs office had previously recovered the Yamaha four wheeler which was stolen from the Clanagan home on Charity Lane cniy Sept. 2. The vehicle had been wrecked and the damages amount to $700. Grigsby has been incarcerated since the first charges were filed a week ago and is See COPS, Page 5 \ ' Old Rag Bulletins In order to be eligible to vote in the general election Nov. 3, you must register no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 5.

The continued review of the Town of Washington’s Comprehensive Plan was the only business before the commission. Previously, the commission completed the review of the town’s comp plan up to page 16 and shipped the section “Summary and Findings” on pages 16 and 17 in anticipation of Milton Herd’s final report. v At the recent Monday night meeting, the commission continued its review uj»f pages 18 through 20. They corrected the copy for grammar and clarity and struck out policy items on underground utility | wiring and several unenforceable sections on zoning. At page 20, the commission decided to defer review of the remaining four pages relating to services and facilities, town water and sewage, trash, fire and rescue operations, funding and land use regulations, until Herd’s report is received. At the regular meeting of the Washington Town Council at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 14, the commission will present the pages they have reviewed. The commission will meet again in an informal workshop when Herd’s report is available and continue its review the comp plan at that * time. The next regular monthly planning commission meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 at the town hall. Drought plagues farmers By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer This summer’s drought combined with the record heat is causing pastures to stop growing, streams to dry up and orchards not to produce at their peaks. For several weeks, many farmers have been feeding hay to their cattle, which usually does not occur until late October. It will be long, hard winter for the cattle, since they are not going to be in condition to face the cold weather coming, said one Flint Hill farmer. Eddie Williams has been feeding hay to his livestock for several weeks and the creeks and streams on his farm have dried up and become stagnant pools, forcing him to water livestock from his home well. touis Moore Jr., a farmer near Flint Hill, agreed that he, too, is feeding hay ahead of schedule, and the streams on his property stopped flowing in August. A pond he uses for watering his cattle is about three feet lower than usual _ .and is no longer being fed by a spring. It has not been this low for a long time, he said. In another field, where Moore installed a spring-fed waterer, his cattle have water. However, the spring there is barely flowing. He expressed concern about the water-table and said unless a significant amount of rain falls soon, he fears wells and springs will go dry. The areas of the county that appear most severely affected are Gid Brown Hollow, and according to Williams, a two-mile strip running along Lee Highway. A fair amount of diversity exists in the rainfall •" falling in different areas of the county, said Moore. He said I’ll be fortunate if I cover my expenses this year. Eddie Williams Flint Hill that the area north of Flint Hill frequently receives more rainfall than areas south of town where he lives, or, at least it seems that way. During a recent rainfall, Moore said, home rain gauges registered almost two inches, while he measured only 0.1 of an inch. A farmer who rotates his cattle periodically in practicing pasture management is Gray Armistad. However, some of the springs on his Amissville property were drying up and with a shortage of grass, he decided to move many of his cattle to a property in Sperryville with plenty of water. He began feeding grain and hay to keep the calves and cows in-good conditidb, he said. Harold Scoggin, a Harris Hollow farmer, said the springs he uses to water his cattle have been slowing down for several weeks. “Some have stopped running completely,” he said that the grass is practically gone, and he has been feeding his cattle for several weeks. Even if significant rain fell, bringing back pastures and raising the water table, it would not undo the damage that has occurred to some orchards. Kenner Love, Rappahannock Extension Agent, said apples are smaller than usual this year and since apples for processing are graded by size, they’ll be less profitable. Williams who also operates an orchard said red and yellow delicious apples are smaller, but fortunately, York and Stayman apples are the usual {Size. Hoifrever, they are all about two weeks ahead in maturity. The high temperatures have caused the apples to ripen faster, and the trees, stressed by lack of water, are prematurely dropping their apples. Many are rotting quickly. Moore agreed that this is a problem in his orchard, also. “I’ll be fortunate if I cover my expenses this year,” said Williams. Fortunately, an extremely wet spring provided tor abundant hay cuttings and, so far, has kept springs flowing and has maintained the water level in most wells. The average annual rainfall is 40.9 inches and the total to date for the year is not unremarkable. However, this has been a hot, dry summer. From Sept. 8 through 28, less than onehalf of an inch of rain fell, while the normal precipitation in September is 3.1^ inches. Added to the drought?11 this was the third warmest August ever recorded. Dennis Wingfield of Sperrvville, a Channel Four “weather watcher,” keeps track of the daily temperature and rainfall. The total rainfall for July was 1.07 inches, for August was 1.85 inches and, as of Sept. 28, was .94 inches for the month. In comparison, September 1997 had 7.07 inches and September 1996, a period of incredible rainfall, had 17.78 inches.

Computers installed at library By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Library Board President E. Franklin Warner was back, following surgery, and presided over last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock Library Board. He reported that the recent programs at the library by author James Gannon and tbe group Havura Ktana were very successful and informed the board that he and Helen Platt, treasurer, would be attending the Virginia Public Library Trustee Workshop in Charlottesville. Library Director David Shaffer reported that the two new iMac computers have been installed. The computers, he said, are a “vast improvement over our old 386.” He expressed gratitude to the Friends of tbe Library and to Louise van Dort, who installed the computers. Printers will be installed and should be up and running shortly, he said. The summer reading program was a great success, Shaffer said, with a total of 54 children taking part. He also noted that Stella Clark and Ellen Pullen did an outstanding job managing the program. Charlotte Nichols, vice president, said that Clark has a “most remarkable rapport with the children who visit the library. She knows their names, she remembers their tastes in reading material and they just love her.” People constantly remark on it, Nichols said and the board enthusiastically directed Shaffer to draft a certificate of' appreciation to Clark, The treasurer’s report was approved and accepted. Platt reported that although stocks were down the money market account 'was up by several thousand dollars and the bonds “went way up.” The building and grounds committee was the only committee with a report: the striping on the blacktop has been done; a memorial plaque was removed from a bush and the committee is researching the matter; the plaque on the flag pole must be taken off the rock it is on and attached to a new stone which has been ordered from Luck Stone — they will work to find someone to remove the plaque from the old stone; and the board approved purchase of paint in order that the painting of the roof may get underway. The board then went into executive session to discuss a personnel matter.

It is both a type of illustrated carpet and the name of the Film’s central character, a serenely beautiful young woman who relates her tale to a memory-haunted old man. A member of a nomadic desert tribe, she falls in love with a dashing horseman, but her father's opposition forces a hazardous elopement. The disparate ingredients of “Gabbeh” are neither disjunctive nor esoteric but rhymed and blended into an awesome harmony.

Predictions on school costs and resulting tax rate vary The public hearing on the bond issue comes up Monday, Oct. 5. The board of supervisors will determine whether to approve the request by the school board to issue $3 million worth of school bonds for the high school expansion and other capital improvements. That would translate to about a 5.3 cent increase in the real estate tax rate, with a $305,000 debt service (in the first year) and, although we won’t know exactly until the bonds are sold in November, they expect an average percentage rate of about 4.5. If other funding is found, cuts are made in the school budget or other areas of the county budget, then the increase on the tax rate would accordinelv be lower. There has been discussion about the money now used for Piedmont being used to help pay the annual debt payment, but there is at least a one-year overlap for the payment to Piedmont and the debt service. So that money won’t help in the first year anyway. And, new teachers will most likely have to be hired to teach the additional vocational courses planned for the future and additional courses which will be added to the curriculum as a result of the expansion. County Administrator John McCarthy said the county has to be concerned with what the debt service will be next year, should the bond issue be approved, and what it will be for the next several years. As is the case with many home mortgages, for example, the interest is paid at the beginning and is variable although the principle is fixed. There is not doubt that the high school needs more space and other capital improvements. Most assuredly the county does not want to raise tax rates any more than necessary. These are issues every resident must be concerned with and involved in. It is true that many people are hesitant to attend board meetings or voice their opinions to their supervisors. It is also true that if you don’t voice your opinion no one will know what it is. And, if you expect the supervisors to listen to what you think, telling your neighbor or discussing the issue at a local store isn’t enough. Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 30 Years Ago Thursday, Oct. 3, 1968 In observance of National Highway Safety Week, resident engineer James Skeens of Warrenton was at Rappahannock County High School last week to speak to several classes. The Republican Headquarters for Nixon has opened in the old post office building in Flint Hill. 25 Years Ago Thursday, Oct. 4, 1973 At the September meeting of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association the following officers were*elected: Bertha Armel, Washington, president; Bradley Williams, Chester Gap, vice president; W.E. Bywaters, Flint Hill, secretary; H.S. Barksdale, Flint Hill, treasurer; Paul Poling, Amissville, chaplain. Amissville Ruritan Club members viewed slides of wild game hunting in North America, presented by Arvid Benson, at the Sept. 19 meeting of the club. Benson is the eleventh person to bag every kind of wild game in North America. 10 Years Ago Thursday, Sept. 29, 1988 Scotty Updike was among the Rappahannock County representatives at the statewide 4-H competition at the Virginia State Fair, and brought home a state championship for his lamb. It is the second major award won by Scotty this summer, who took Grand Champion honors for his Black Angus heifer at the Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show. Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Eborn The combined choruses from RCHS held a car wash recently at the U.S. 211 Ouicke Mart to raise funds to purchase dresses for the Select Chorus. The event was a big success thanks to the Choral Boosters, Paul Baldwin of the Quicke Mart, and the hard working students and volunteers who did the washing. Letters to the Editor Invitation for free medical survey To the adult residents of Hampton District: You may recall that in our letter to you last spring, we mentioned that Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue planned to conduct a free Base Line Medical Survey of all adult residents of Hampton District over the age of 30 who wished to participate. That survey will be conducted this fall and this invitation will provide you with the purpose of the survey and tell you how to arrange an appointment. When someone has a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, an ambulance is the usual way to transport the person to the emergency room. Upon arrival at the ER, medical technicians must conduct appropriate tests (blood pressure, blood sugar, temperature, heart rhythm, respiratory rate) before the neces sary treatment can be started by the doctors. This procedure takes valuable time. The Base Line Medical Survey we are planning will acquire all that basic information ahead of time and record it on a computer which will be carried on the ambulance. Those records, plus the results of the tests done on board the ambulance, will be presented by our medical personnel to the doctors at the ER immediately upon arrival at the hospital. Those records also will enhance the speed of the doctors’ diagnosis and treatment. Such speed can often make the difference between long- and short-term recovery or even life and death. In fact, with the new equipment we have just acquired, we can transmit the medical information via FAX from the ambulance while we are en route so that the doc tors can have it in hand even before the ambulance arrives. The Base Line Medical Survey will be implemented this fall on the following Saturdays: Oct. 3, 10, 17 and 24. To participate, you simply call the fire station at 6753615 and tell whomever answers that you want an appointment for the Medical Survey. Should there be no one there when you call, please leave your name and phone number on the answering machine. One of our medical technicians will return your call. On the date of your appointment and upon your arrival, we will ask you to complete a simple form. You will then be escorted to the first of several cubicles where the following tests will be done: a 12 lead electrocardiogram (for heart rhythms), blood sugar (diabetes test), temperature, pulse, respiration and oxygenation. Female technicians will conduct the ECG test on women. Utmost confidentiality will be maintained on all test results and will be available only to the senior paramedic or medical technician on board the ambulance. And by the way, some of you may think this invitation is for older folks only. Bear in mind that the age group most likely to have a heart attack is the 40 to 60 age range. Diabetes can strike anyone, as can pneumonia, or high blood pressure. So please plan to take advantage of this free screening and call for an appointment, 675-3615. Rod Sweet, chair'. Eugene Leggett, president Roger Roach, chief Support bond issue Next Monday, Oct. 5, there will be a public hearing to discuss whether or not the Board of Supervisors should honor the School Board’s request to issue school bonds to pay for our much-needed Rappahannock County High School addition. We urge people to attend this hearing to show their support for the school bond request. Without a doubt, now is the best possible time to issue these bonds by borrowing from the Virginia Public School Authority, the county’s cheapest source for school building money. We’d like to list a number of reasons why we think the supervisors should not delay making this VPSA bond request. • The county will save money. The longer we delay, the higher the costs of building will be. The VPSA’s interest rates are currently only five percent and the amortized debt payment will average about $225,000 per year. Actually, if you deduct the $175,000 per year we currently pay to send our vocational ed students down to Piedmont Technical Education Center (which we will stop doing once the addition is built), our debt payment will come to only about $50,000 per year. That’s an amount our county can handle, only one additional cent on the tax rate. • No student will lose out on vocational training. The Piedmont Center will be closing its doors in just two years. If we get cracking now on building the high school addition, vocational education training (computer repair, building trades, network technology, culinary training, maintenance repair and entrepreneurship) will be available to our students the very first fall after Piedmont closes. • The high school is bursting at the seams. Storage rooms, the auditorium, the physical education health room and other inappropriate places are currently being used for classrooms. With larger classes coming up from the elementary school in the next couple of years and a prediction of 100 more high school students in the next five years, where will all our children learn? We need to provide decent classrooms for our young people as quickly as possible. • Students are missing out on academic opportunities. During this 1998-99 school year, 22 students were unable to get courses they would have been able to take had there been enough space. On top of that, coming up in the near future is the new state requirement that our high school students must complete an extra class in math or science. How will we find room for these necessary courses to be taught unless we build the addition? We urge you to come out for the Oct. 5 public hearing. We hope you will urge your supervisors to vote for the bond issue ... now! Joyce and Richard Abell Woodville School system needs support On Oct. 5 the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing and vote on whether to approve the bond issue necessary to fund a proposed expansion to the Rappahannock County High School. This issue is critical to the future of our school system and to the children of our county. RCHS is now seriously overcrowded. Classes have been jammed into every conceivable space, including storage rooms and athletic areas. Twenty-two students were . unable to obtain complete academic schedules this year, and 11 different honors, vocational and elective classes or sections were cut from the curriculum due to a shortage of space. The situation will continue to deteriorate if these space needs are not ’ addressed. The school system is projecting an increase of up to 100 students at RCHS in the coming years which will further strain the space needs and threaten basic graduation requirements. Clearly the quality of education for our students will begin to suffer drastically unless the space problem is remedied. In 1993 the board of supervisors first considered building an addition to RCHS in lieu of a middle school when the need arose. The time had certainly come to act. We must strive for excellence in our schools. In this day of global competition and economic uncertainty, a good education is not a luxury but an absolute necessity. I am a parent of current RCES students, looking to the day when they will graduate to RCHS, and hoping that public education will continue to challenge and excite them as it has so far. We are lucky to live in a place with such a fine school system and so many dedicated teachers, administrators and volunteers. But this school system needs support to continue to move forward. I hope that all citizens of Rappahannock will join me in asking the board of supervisors to approve this bond issue and relieve the pressure at RCHS. The future of the county’s children is at ' stake. Elizabeth M. Johns Woodville Tour educational The educational farm tour hosted by Richard and Joyce Abell at their farm on Sept. 19 was a very enjoyable and informative experience for us. We want to express our sincere thanks to the Abells for unselfishly sharing with us their lessons learned in raised beds, asparagus and small fruits. We learned of this tour in your newspaper.

WOODVILLE From Page 1 designed sighs for each end of Woodville, “out of neighborliness,” according to Light. When Wood and Light saw Tepper’s design, it bore this simple inscription under the town’s name: “Circa 1798.” “It suddenly dawned on us,” recalls Light. “We’re 200 years old this year!” Unfortunately it was already June, half-way through the bicentennial year. Light had seen a small town in Germany celebrate its heritage with a magnificent parade that included floats and re-enactments of each major historical period back to caveman days. Why couldn’t Woodville do this? Skeptics pointed to Woodville’s shrunken population. Though Woodville once bustled as a rural town, the community is down to a couple of dozen houses, two churches, one general store, a fruit stand, and a gift shop. Its zip code encompasses only 145 boxholders. Never mind, decided Light. This concept should be bigger than Woodville. The values Woodville is struggling to deepen — neighborliness, safety for children, preservation of beauty, religious faith are ones shared by the entire county. Why not a county-wide celebration, focusing on reinforcing everybody’s s#nse of community? I By mid-August Mrs. Light was working as her husband’s hill-time lieutenant. While he was at his paying job near Dulles Airport, she made hundreds of phone calls. By late August, the organizing committee had grown to 25 people, including representaT tives from the Rappahannock Historical Society, the Lion’s Club, and both churches in Woodville, Shiloh Baptist and Woodville Baptist. Simply getting members of these churches under the same roof was unprecedented. Shiloh Baptist had been founded by blacks emerging from slavery in 1863, while Woodville Baptist, founded in 1852, had been the white church. As far as anybody could recall, members of the two churches had met and worshipped separately until this summer. At Light’s instigation, the committee held meetings in each church. The blacks and whites of Woodville found they had much in common with each other, including deep pride in their homeplace. Cops From Page 1 now awaiting trial, i In other sheriff’s office news: Sheriff Gary Settle announced that Rappahannock citizens are being invited to become associate members of the Virginia Sheriff’s Institute. This is in response to the increasing number of people wanting to assist law enforcement officials and to build stronger partnerships in the fight against crime. •. Membership appeals will go out in the mail shortly and individuals who choose to join may do so for annual dues of $20, while businesses can $how support with a $35 contribution. The funding will help provide important technical resources, training and Support for key criminal justice issues. Those not receiving a membership appeal in the mail may contact the sheriff’s office to sign up. “I encourage everyone receiving a membership appeal to consider joining forces with us by becoming an associate member,” said Settle. “It is a valuable investment in our future.” FURNITURE Name-Brand Manufacturers \ Buy direct • Save up to 50%, ' lower than local stores.

By early September Light had won over the skeptics. Dozens of people were working hard on the logistics. But <., Iv three weeks remained ui. I the festival. Was there time ;o pull it off1 If you were in Rappahannock last weekend, you know +he answer to this. You saw it, or you heard about it. But consider the magnitude of it all and the hundreds of details flawlessly executed: • The parade was surely one of the largest ever in this county, with 126 entries. • Parking was free and convenient, skillfully handled by cheerful teenagers in orange reflective vests. Admission was free too. • The booths were carefully arrayed on a hillside against a stunning backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. • The portable toilets were plentiful and near, but unobtrusive, behind rows of cars. • Many people wore period costumes, and more wore name tags, a handy aid for those of us struggling to place faces with names. • The U.S. Postal Service offered a special cancellation stamp marking the celebration. • There was plenty to eat and drink, as well as some things to buy—but this was no flea market. “Our objective was a friendly, warm community event where people could meet and greet each other, not rack up sales,” says Light. Tepper credits Light for careful planning down to the details and for doing everything that nobody else volunteered to do. “He did the landscaping [around the town’s sign) all himself. He laid the stone and planted the plants.” Light, on the other hand, credits fellow members of the Lions Club, including Tepper, and a long list of others for making the festival possible. Senator Charles Robb stopped by the Woodville Bicentennial and observed that such celebrations “bring towns, communities, and regions together.” Syndicated columnist James J. Kilpatrick sat briefly in the Headwaters booth, autographing copies of his booklet Letters to Heather. In the guise of loving wisdom dispensed to granddaughter Heather, Kilpatrick wrote a series of columns in the 1970s and 1980s that underscored his love of living and learning in Rappahannock County. Pausing between signatures, Kilpatrick said: “This [gathering] is much larger than I thought it would be.;. I love coming back to these hills.” Kilpatrick now lives in Washington D.C.

Jay Katzen, Rappahannock’s delegate in Richmond, stopped by on festival day and assured Light that the speed limit will be dropped to 35 within Woodville. Light doesn’t envision Woodville sponsoring another county-wide celebration in the next few years. Instead he hopes that other Rappahannock communities — such as Chester Gap, Slate Mills, or Flint Hill — will pick up the idea and make such a celebration a way of rallying their own communities and of forging a link to others in the county. “Woodville used to have its share of enemies and spats, but if war brings a country together, this kind of celebration brings a community together,” says Light. “Now we talk and meet together. We are revitalized.” Forum From Page 1 funded each year by the county, almost entirely from real estate taxes. He said this has been fairly constant for a while and land values have not significantly changed. He said the county would have a debt service of about $305,000 in the first year should the board approve the bond sale. They expect to get about a 4.5 percent average interest rate over 20 years. The interest at the start will be much greater, he said and so the debt service will be greater. Looking down the road at the average cost of the debt yearly doesn’t help, even though it will be less later on. The county has to deal with next year for now, he said, and how to fund the debt service next year. What that means as far as the real estate tax rate equates to 5.3 cents added on or other ways to cut money from the budget or fund payment ttf the debt service will have to be found. Questions from the audience dealt primarily with specifics on design of parts of the addition and the athletic, fields. There were some questions about why a “middle school” addition had not been considered for the elementary school with a smaller addition at the high school. Dr. David Gangel, superintendent, answered saying that they had looked at the issue and did not pursue it further after finding that two additions would put the project total at a much higher cost. McKissick verified that statement, saying the cost for additions at both schools and the still necessary renovations at the high school would run in the neighborhood of $4.5 million. With the current plan, he said, the county gets the space it needs at a more affordable cost. D.

What an exciting thought. It is also time to find the skilled architect who understands the plans that fit your lifestyle. No less than the best will do.

God knows all of our needs. He has the plans for our happiness and satisfaction already laid out. All we must do is seek God and ask Him to work in our hearts. "For I know the plans 1 have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you hope and a future." Worship God each week at your local church or synagogue.

As reflected in the words of Edmund Wilson. "You cannot have ecstasy and divine vision without bitterness and despair, and both of these arc the property of youth ... For the young are not always lighthearted: youth bears a heavy heart. The earth quakes beneath his tread: the stars arc combined against him; he is the battleground for a menagerie which is ready to spring at his throat. And when in the midst of these disasters he finds a moment of calm hnd freedom, his heart goes up like a rocket to the farthest reaches of the sky." Extremes of feeling don’t belong to youth alone: they also follow those who have recently lost someone they love Even after years, a sudden memory can elicit the old pain with a sharpness and sweetness that is altogether precious and keen. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue. Warrenton. the staff is highly trained and always sensitive to your family's concerns. Please give us a call at 347-3431 or stop in and sec us.
