What’s not to love about a blond spikey-haired car-toon kid named Spike

who looks a little like the incorri-gible comic-strip character Calvin except he’s blue in color?

Eight-year-old Spike came for a visit to Lancaster Primary School (LPS) October 16 to celebrate National School Lunch Week and to entertain the kindergarten to third-grade kids with his message about the importance of good nutri-tion and exercise.

As the fun-loving nutrition mascot for Aramark Educational Services LLC, Spike has become a familiar face to Lancaster stu-dents who are cafeteria “regulars” eating from menus which have been planned, prepared and served under the direction of the award-winning international food service company now in its second year of serving the division.From peanuts

Aramark’s own success story began in 1936 when Davre David-son formed a vision to provide pea-

nuts to factories and offices—places where the crunchy treat had never been available before.

According to company history at Aramark’s website, Davidson met another like-minded entrepreneur, William Fishman, who was in the vending-machine business.

By 1959, the two visionaries com-bined forces naming their company Automatic Retailers of America, or ARA, and a year later took the com-pany public.

caster schools cafeteria worker Betty Walters said she doesn’t know why the schools decided to go with Aramark, an outside food service management com-pany last year.

The 26-year-veteran said the food was good before and it’s good now with Aramark.

“It’s always been good,” she said, but added that there are more choices now.

At the May 8, 2006, school board meeting where the issue was discussed with Aramark representatives, board member Karen Doyle pointed out that the division’s cafeteria was cur-rently operating in the black.

However, the board voted to outsource the cafeteria food service which currently has an operating budget of over $786,000—up over $142,000 from last year fiscal year.

Cris Sigler, Aramark’s food

Aramark Educational Services representatives told the Lancaster school board last week of the successes and challenges in their current partnership with the division in the man-agement of the Lancaster schools’ food service program. From left are Rick Ward, Brenda Parrott, Cris Sigler, Douglas Roemer and Sue Salg.

Struggling school food program looks to community for strength

Spike helps feed Lancaster students

service director for Lancaster schools, explained that the partnership between the two came about after former school superintendent Dr. Randolph Latimore and the school board visited the Aramark- man-aged cafeterias in the York and Poquoson school divisions and “liked what they saw.”

“They liked the participation [numbers of student custom-ers] and the better management of food and inventory,” she added.

Rick Ward, Aramark gen-eral manager for this district, explained that a great advantage is that the large company with hundreds of food service out-lets wields considerable clout in negotiating bulk-buying deals with suppliers.Guidelines

The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) encour-ages schools and food ser-vices to help children consume wholesome and nutrious food at each meal.

The USDA supplies certain commodities almost free of charge to schools to help both producers, consumers and the schools.

According to a USDA web-site for its Food and Nutrition Service agency, as early as the 1970s, research showed the important link between proper nutrition and learning.

Since the government wants its youthful citizens to con-sume healthy meals, it picks up part of the cost of a child’s lunch—priced at $1.60 for local primary school students and $1.85 for both middle and

high schoolers—by reimburs-ing the division one of three different amounts for the same meal based on the economic status of the child’s family.

If the child is eligible to receive a free meal, the division is reimbursed at $2.64 while a family who can partially pay for the meal (reduced-rate price) results in a reimburse-ment of $2.24.

If the child’s family is able to totally pay for the meal, then the division is only reimbursed $.31.

Guidelines for the Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA are that families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty level are eligi-ble for free meals.

Families with incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals.

For the current year, income eligibility thresholds for a family of four to receive free meals must be at or below $26,845, while for reduced-meals it is at or below $38,203.

Families over the 185 per-cent of poverty pay full price, though the service reports that their meals “are still subsidized to some extent.”

According to state depart-ment of education records, just over half of the Lancaster school population is entitled to free or reduced-price meals.

The breakfast program arrived in Lancaster County sometime after 1980, accord-ing to Walters.

Spike says: “Eat right! Get plenty of sleep! Exercise everyday!”

Lancaster County Sher-iff Ronnie Crockett brought charges against 11 individuals last week (including the juve-nile, see sidebar)

Wayne C. Arthur Jr., 20, of Thomas Landing Road, was charged October 10 with Mathews County charges of possession of controlled sub-stances (felony) and possession of marijuana (misdemeanor).

Omar J. Scruggs, 18, of Fleets Bay Road was charged October 10 with attempted robbery and use of a firearm in commission of a felony (both felonies).Misdemeanors

A Wake man, 19, stopped for a traffic violation, was charged October 9 with carrying a con-cealed weapon.

A Baltimore man, 24, was charged October 9 in Bristol with contempt of court January 18, 2006, in connection with a DUI incident.

A Greentown Road man, 46, was charged October 9 with domestic assault and battery.

A Chestnut Grove Lane woman, 27, was charged Octo-ber 10 with contempt of court.

A Reynolds Farm Road woman, 21, was charged Octo-ber 10 with contempt of court.

A Kilmarnock man, 50, was charged October 11 with con-tempt of court.

A Chestnut Grove Lane man, 47, was charged October 12 with a Northumberland charge of trespassing.

Police Reports

In response to a stolen vehicle incident reported October 8 and a com-mercial burglary and lar-ceny reported October 9, Lancaster County Sheriff Ronnie Crockett directed a stakeout operation.

The stakeout resulted in the arrest of a 16-year-old Ottoman area juvenile about 9:30 p.m. on Octo-ber 9.

After taking a vehicle from the parking lot of Reynolds Garage, the juvenile was pursued by the stakeout team and stopped without further incident near River and Western Branch roads.

The juvenile was charged with breaking and entering (felony) into Reynolds Garage (on October 7 or 8), theft of $20 cash and theft of a vehicle valued at $6,000. He also was charged with breaking and entering into Reynolds Garage (Octo-ber 8 or 9) and theft of $4 cash; and the October 9 theft of a vehicle valued at $12,000.

The juvenile was ordered held in detention pending a court hearing.

KILMARNOCK—The Three Rivers Health District will con-duct a drive-thru influenza vac-cination clinic October 27 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Kilmar-nock-Lancaster County Volun-teer Rescue Squad building at 61 Harris Road in Kilmarnock. Sea-sonal flu shots will be given free to anyone age 18 and over.

Recipients are asked to wear short sleeves to expedite the drive-thru procedure where vac-cinations are received while in the vehicle.

The clinic is being conducted as a preparedness exercise for a pandemic flu scenario. While no pandemic currently exists, the drive-thru procedure eliminates the mass public gathering of a tra-ditional mass vaccination clinic.

HEATHSVILLE—A 300-foot Verizon Wireless tower is slated to rise above Claraville some time in 2008.

Hearing no public comment on Verizon’s application for a special exceptions permit to build the tower, the Northum-berland board of supervisors last Thursday unanimously agreed to lease 10,000 square feet behind the new little league fields next to the ele-mentary school on Academic Lane.

Verizon will lease the prop-erty for five-year terms. Lease fees for the first five years will be waived. Fees for sub-sequent five-year terms begin at $1,000 per month with a 15 percent increase at the begin-

ning of each new term. The lease also allows Nor-

thumberland County to place its own emergency services equipment on the tower. It will be surrounded by a chain link fence for safety.

Verizon representatives said the tower will vastly improve service along Route 360 and within a three-mile radius of Claraville, offering both voice and high speed Internet ser-vices to its customers.

“If you can get voice, you can get data,” Fibronia Christ told the board of supervisors.

Maps shown at the meet-ing indicated the new tower should fill in the spotty areas in the county between the Lottsburg, Burgess and Mis-kimon towers.

Projections are based on the most conservative figures, Verizon representatives said after the meeting. Ideally, the new tower will provide blan-ket cellular coverage north to the Potomac River, east to Heathsville, west to Burgess and south to Howland and Knight’s Run.

The Ridge Road area, which remains without much coverage, should be addressed in the near future by a tower going up in Lancaster County, Verizon representatives said.

At 300 feet, the new tower will be two times taller than the surrounding trees and will be the second tallest object in the county next to the Naval tower on Surprise Hill which is some 400 feet.

Church Notes

Blessing the animalsThe Rev. Thomas R. Coye, pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Kilmarnock, and the Rev. W. Scott Dillard, rector of Wicomico Parish Church in Wicomico Church, partici-pated in a recent blessing of the animals at St. Andrews. From left, Rev. Coye blesses Bonnie Haynie of Lancaster and her 16-year-old cat, Spunk, while Rev. Dillard bends to bless rescue dog Scooter, owned by Connie Ruble.

How can a church that has no building serve its community?

This was a question posed at a special retreat in Orkney Springs, October 7 and 8, of four displaced, but now reorganized Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of Virginia, including St. Stephen’s in Heathsville.

Among the 110 attendees, 13 were from St. Stephen’s. On Monday morning, they reviewed their programs to deliver drinking water to an estimated 4,000 citi-zens in Northumberland and Lan-caster counties who lack potable water and to participate as a group in the Northern Neck’s Hospice outreach program, said member Ann H. Freeman.

During 24 hours of meetings, meals, fellowship and a candlelit healing service Sunday evening, St. Stephen’s members shared their stories and plans with mem-bers of the three other churches who are also worshipping in bor-rowed buildings: St. Margaret’s in Woodbridge, The Falls Church in Falls Church and The Church of

The Rogers SistersThe Rogers Sisters from North Carolina will sing at Fairport Baptist Church October 28 during the 11 a.m. worship service as well as in concert at 1:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to join members celebrating Loyalty Day. A meal prepared by the ladies of the church will be served at noon. Pastor Neale Schools will be lead the morning worship. Fairport Church is at 2399 Fairport Road near Reedville.

Churches explorenew ways to serve

the Epiphany in Herndon. Like the members of St. Ste-

phen’s, they are waiting for a ruling from a Fairfax court on the question of ownership of build-ings now occupied by Anglican congregations who left the Epis-copal Church last December.

The exiled congregations were counseled and encouraged by their new bishop coadjutor, Shan-non Johnston, who will succeed Bishop Peter Lee when he retires, and Suffragan Bishop David Jones. Bishop Lee did not attend because he was in England in meetings with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The keynote speaker, the Rev. Howard Anderson, president and warden of the Cathedral Col-lege of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., led the group in exercises to explore each con-gregation’s gifts and potential for mission work. Ministry, he said, is at the heart of a parish’s heal-ing process; when one focuses on helping other people, “vision shifts from scarcity to abundance.”

NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

Colonial Williamsburg’s reli-gion programs capture the spirit of the holiday season. In Novem-ber and December, programs will reflect the importance of religion in day-to-day life for 18th-century Williamsburg residents.

In “My Fortress and My Strength,” enslaved Baptist preacher Gowan Pamphlet, por-trayed by Colonial Williamsburg interpreter James Ingram, will talk about events of the day and their impact on the slave commu-nity at the Presbyterian Meeting-house. The program can be seen at 11:15 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Thursdays, November 27 through January 1.

Most of the faculty at the Col-lege of William and Mary during the 18th-century were ordained ministers.

The program can be seen at 11 a.m. November 27, December 4, 11 and 18 at the Wren Chapel at the College of William and Mary.

“The Comet Comes to Wil-liamsburg” will feature a re-enact-ment of famous 18th-century evangelist George Whitefield’s appearance at Bruton Parish Church on Sunday, December 16, 1739. A minister of the Church of England and colleague of

John and Charles Wesley, White-field was an important figure in the Great Awakening, a series of revivals that swept through Britain and North America in the first half of the 18th century. The program can be seen at 2 p.m. at Bruton Parish Church December 17.

The Feast Day of St. John the Baptist was celebrated annu-ally by the Masonic Lodge of 18th-century Williamsburg. Lodge members processed from the lodge to the church to hear a sermon delivered by the chap-lain of the lodge. A re-enactment of this annual event at 1:50 p.m. December 27 will include cos-tumed interpreters, current mem-bers of Lodge No. 6 and guests who are Masons.

HEATHSVILLE—Esther Sebree, 95, of Heathsville died September 30, 2007.

Mrs. Sebree was born August 12, 1912, to Benjamin “Benny” and Virginia Hudnall in Ophelia. She grew up with three older brothers and five younger sisters, all of whom predeceased her: Horace, Dennis, Clin-ton, Marion, Marie, Ethel, Annie and Sue. She attended Northumberland County public schools. She left her home in Ophelia at age six-teen to live with her aunt Julia and uncle John in Baltimore. She later married William Saul Taylor by whom she had a daughter, Bertina, in 1934. Their marriage ended in about 1936. In 1939 she met and married John Alvin Sebree. They had three children, Patri-cia, John Alvin Jr. and William Edward. Their marriage lasted until his death in 1964.

In 1945, the couple opened the Sebree Restaurant near Lafayette Market in Balti-more. She cooked and served her guests nothing but the best seafood from Northumberland County. She later was a domes-tic assistant at the Albritton Estate where she was employed for 42 years.

She was active in her com-munity, volunteering with voter registration, serving at the elec-tion polls, and working in her neighborhood association. She was a member of the Shiloh Benefit Club of Baltimore from its inception.

As a child, she attended Shiloh Baptist Church in Reed-ville. When she moved to Bal-timore she became a member of Simmons Memorial Baptist Church. In 1974, she became a charter member of Believer’s

Chapel. In her later years, she resumed her membership at Shiloh.

She was also predeceased by a grandson, Rodney Wilson, and a great-grandson, Shaun Wilson.

She is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Bertina and Ray Wilson, Patri-cia and William Hughes; two sons and a daughter-in-law, John Alvin Sebree Jr., William Edward and Evelyn Sebree; six grandchildren, Reggie, Keith, Dionne, Monica, Alichia and William “Nick”; 12 great-grandchildren, Rodeny, Brit-tany, Bridgette, Christopher, Shandria, Brenden, Shamal, Naomi, Kendall, Caleb, Nina and Nadia Avis; and five great-great-grandchildren, Shaun, Shaumar, Shaude, Britton and Ryan.

Funeral services were held October 5 at Shiloh Baptist Church with the Rev. T. Wright Morris officiating. Interment was at the church cemetery.


HEATHSVILLE—Clifton Bernard Taylor Sr., 75, died October 5, 2007.

Mr. Taylor was born Febru-ary 28, 1931, in Horse Head to David E. and Agnes Taylor. He was one of 15 children. He attended Northumberland County public schools and joined First Baptist Church in Heathsville where he served as a trustee. He was employed as a cement finisher with the Robert Ray Beasley Company. His work can be seen at historical sites in the Washington, D.C., area and in Northumberland and nearby counties. He started his own contracting company and under his tutelage many young men who worked for him went on to run their own businesses.

He met his sweetheart, Leatrice Crockett, in grade school. Due to endless “love taps” and constant teasing by Bernard, their love con-nection was instant. His m o t h e r , Agnes, would say to him, “You better treat Leatrice right because one day she may be your wife.” That day came in 1953 when the couple were married in Balti-more.

He was predeceased by his parents, 12 siblings, and a step-daughter, Sylvia Lewis.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Leatrice Taylor; three sons, Clifton Bernard “Cliff ” Taylor Jr. of Baltimore, Terry Taylor and Keith Taylor of Heathsville; two daughters and sons-in-law, Cynthia and Gary

Brooks of Heathsville and Sandi and Rodney Smith of Baltimore; a stepdaughter, Sheila Hunter of Reedville; 13 grandchil-dren, Danielle Brooks, Sherry Morton, Keisha Taylor, Traci Smith, Brian Smith, Khadijah Gray, Lisha Cockrell, Crys-tall Cockrell, Jessica Cockrell, Cynthia Cockrell, Leon Butler, Douglas Bacon and Keith Young; a sister, Angenette Scott of Baltimore; a brother, Joseph D. Taylor of Washington, D.C.; and many great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Funeral services were held October 11 at the First Baptist Church with pastor John S. Foutaine officiating. Interment was at the church cemetery. Pallbearers were Gary Brooks, Rodney Smith, Spergeon Morton, Brian Smith, Herman Carter, Terry Taylor and Micah Morton.

THE RECORDONLINEwww.rrecord.com

B6 Rappahannock Record, Kilmarnock, Va. • Oct. 18, 2007BusinessTim and Pam Sawyer of

Mathews recently added the Fudge Factory at Country Cot-tage and Bonner Florist on Route 3 in White Stone.

The Sawyers and crew remod-eled facilities to accommodate the new business.

“It was really interesting to watch customers’ reactions as they came in during the remodeling,” said Pam Sawyer. “We wouldn’t tell then what was up, just that we had a surprise coming.”

The transformation was really a lot of hard work, she said. They did most of the work themselves. With the help of her husband, two sons and her employees, Sawyer saw an idea she and her husband, Tim, have had for years finally come to a reality.

“Tim and I have wanted to open a Fudge Factory for about four years, but something has always come up and delayed it,” said Sawyer. “With the addition of Bonner Florists last year, we figured this year would be the year. I really have a great bunch of employees here at the store, which made the decision to add the Fudge Factory easier. With Naomi Pfeltz taking care of the florist, her granddaughter Crys-tal Tull taking care of the garden center and Sandy Gravatt work-ing in the gift shop, it gave me the crew I needed to proceed with the Fudge Factory. It’s great to have reliable employees in each department. That way I can bounce in whichever direction I

The Northern Neck Family YMCA recently announced Northern Neck Mechanical of White Stone has become a $500 sponsor for the Northern Neck Family YMCA’s Festival of the Trees.

“The YMCA is a great organiza-tion that offers so many programs to the community,” said owner Violet Townes. “NN Mechanical will be celebrating its 20th year in business in April. We couldn’t have done it without the support of our friends and customers. We feel like donating to the YMCA is a great way to give something back to the community that has made us so successful.”

The 2007 festival, November 30 to December 2, marks the annual fund-raiser’s 10th anniversary and

need to. Last week I got to see the hard work pay off.”

Sawyer said all of her employees are enjoying the new addition, but are espe-cially happy to see the smile it has brought to four-year employee Gravatt’s face. Gra-vatt had worked as a cook until she was diagnosed with MS and couldn’t take the heat in the kitchen.

The fudge-making gives Gravatt the feeling of being back in the kitchen without all the heat. The smile on her face while she is making fudge is great, said Sawyer.

“Also as the one year anni-versary of my mom’s passing aproaches it brings back won-derful memories,” said Sawyer. “Mom loved peanut butter

fudge and we would always buy it for her whenever we were near a fudge kitchen. I can’t cut a piece of fudge without think-ing of mom. I just wish I could have had the factory sooner so I could have sent her fudge on a regular basis. At least she did get to enjoy the lovely flower arrangements made by Pfeltz last year before her passing. “

The Fudge Factory offers chocolate, peanut butter, mint and vanilla nut along with sea-sonal flavors like pumpkin pie, apple pie and egg nog. They keep at least 16 flavors in stock at all times including sucrose free fudge for diabetics or those watching their sugar intake.

“We also have a great fund-raising program for anyone interested,” said Sawyer.

In a recent transfer of author-ity ceremony at Al-Faw Palace at Camp Victory Iraq, Col. Patrick D. Sargent assumed command of the 62nd Medical Brigade, led by Gen. Ronald D. Silverman.

Sargent, a native of Panama City, Fla., is the husband of Lt. Col. Sherry Hill Sargent of Weems, now stationed at Fort McNair, and the son-in-law of Lloyd and Eleanor Hill of Weems.

The ceremony marked the beginning of a 15-month deploy-ment to Iraq for Sargent and the soldiers of the 62nd Medical Bri-gade, beginning its third deploy-ment to southwest Asia since Operation Iraqi Freedom began. This is the first time the brigade has been given overall responsi-bility for the care and well-being of troops across the country.

The brigade is responsible for more than 3,500 soldiers, sailors and airmen stationed through-out Iraq as they provide medical care and support to 160,000 U.S. coalition and Iraqi forces and 120,000 civilians.

“The next 15 months will be very challenging. We will face adversity and danger. However, I am confident we will prevail in our core mission of preserving the lives of America’s and Iraq’s

Ardyce Kinsley will auto-graph copies of her book, Pas-sage to Sharps, at Twice Told Tales in Kilmarnock during Scottish Days on October 20 from 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Karen Westermann will visit visit from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and she will read from her book, The Chief and I, at 2:00.

In Passage to Sharps, the men and women who settled in what would become an important steamboat stop tell the stories of their lives. Unlike the placid riverside community that is Sharps today, a colorful history waits to be explored—of Eng-lish settlers who first arrived in 1659; of their descendants, like William Peachy, who left the lasting legacy of his home, Milden Hall; of the Danish preacher from Iowa, Claus Clausen, who “thought outside the box” and made plans for a “real town”; of New Jersey entrepreneur, DeWitt Clinton Sharp, whose name remains on the village post office; and many more.

Kinsley also will make avail-able her biography of Fitzhugh Lee, The Fitzhugh Lee Sam-pler.

In the summer of 2002, writer/environmentalist Karen Tootelian began caring for the 89-year-old Chief of the Mat-taponi Tribe, Webster Little Eagle Custalow. What began as her personal journals evolved into a book about their deep friendship and compassion for one another.

Told in the author’s poetic voice, this is also the story of the Mattaponi River, the battle Little Eagle began to save it from a reservoir, and about her own spiritual bond with this river.

The Bay School at 279 Main Street in Mathews is seeking artists to participate in a Fiber Art Show and sale November 23 to 25.

The show and sale is for any fiber art including quilts, hooked rugs, clothing, knit-ted items and woven pieces. Anything that is predominately fiber will be accepted for judg-ing.

The cost to participate is $25 for up to 3 pieces. Prizes total $800.

There is a free wine/appe-tizer reception on November 24 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Bay School for the public to meet the artists.

Entry forms are due by November 8. For an entry form, call the Bay School at 725-1278, or email [email protected].

Beltone, a pioneer in the hearing health care industry, recently introduced the latest addition to its EDGE collection of hearing technology products, the Beltone Marq.

Because the Marq, like all Beltone Edge collection prod-ucts can be fit and customized to the wearers’ needs in a single visit, people with hearing loss can conveniently experience this new instrument during new product research sessions offered at Beltone Ledford Audiology Center in Kilmar-nock.

“With its ergonomic design, the Marq is exceptionally com-fortable,” said Lynn Ledford. “It is the smallest available receiver-in-the-ear hearing instrument, and is available in a range of 12 different colors

Beltone continues to make its “Marq” on hearing technology

to blend well with skin and hair tones.”

The Marq employs digi-tal technology that is espe-cially effective for most high frequency hearing loss and sophisticated programming that automatically adjusts to the surroundings, explained Ledford.

“There are two main parts of any hearing instrument. The outer shell, which makes up the overall comfort and look, and the inner circuitry, which determines the type of tech-nology,” said John Cariola, director of product manage-ment for Beltone USA. “Our EDGE collection of products, including the latest Marq addi-tion, offers the greatest selec-tion available for consumers with hearing loss.

Southern States Coopera-tive’s priority is to meet the needs of its member and non-member customers. In light of the recent drought situation in much of its operating territory, Southern States urges custom-ers to visit their local dealer to discuss the farmers’ individual needs and review special pro-grams and offers.

Special purchasing programs for fertilizers, lime, seed, feed and other products are avail-able that have extended pay-ment terms with no interest. A variety of drought-related

products, including transfer pumps, waterers, and stock tanks are available at local Southern States stores. See a local dealer for special pric-ing on drought management products.

Local Southern States deal-ers have access to the latest information on managing livestock, pastures, equine and crops and will assist cus-tomers in planning the best management approach. Visit a local Southern States dealer for a personalized farm man-agement plan.

Southern States offers dry weather assistance

Dr. Matthew B. Shifflett, D.C., recently added Foot Levelers Associate Platinum to his prac-tice. A tool that will allow him to make a digital scan of the feet, the Associate Platinum helps the doctor screen for imbalances that contribute to problems in any number of places, such as knees, hips and lower back.

Feet are the foundation for the entire body, said Dr. Shifflett. Like any structure, the body’s founda-tion must be balanced to support the weight above it. If the arches in one or both feet collapse, the body doesn’t get correct postural support, causing an imbalance in the skeletal frame.

The Associate Platinum helps chiropractors develop care plans and use postural support, like

custom-made orthotics from Foot Levelers, to obtain positive results in nearly everyone—from chil-dren 5 years old to seniors, said Dr. Shifflett.

He welcomes new patients to Pure n’ Simple Family Chiro-practic Inc. for postural exams to determine chiropractic needs. The clinic offers a variety of therapies for total body health and will provide on-site screenings with the Associate™ Platinum at the Kilmarnock Scottish Festival, Sat-urday, October 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dr. Shifflett will donate $20 of each order to the YMCA Camp Kekoka maritime youth camp’s scholarship program.

Call Dr. Shifflett at 435-2273. Appointments are limited to the first 12 callers.

Chiropractor to use digital technology to evaluate foot problems

By Audrey ThomassonKILMARNOCK—The

world’s largest retailer will be cutting the ribbon and opening the doors to the Kilmarnock Wal-Mart at 8 a.m. Wednesday, October 24.

Grab a store map at the front door and experience shopping at epic proportions until closing time at 11 p.m.

What awaits shoppers is a mammoth facility nearly the size of the Gloucester store. And it’s not just the typical Wal-Mart merchandise. This place is packed wall-to-wall not only with the things Wal-Mart fans expect, it also has a selection of higher-end items hand-picked to suit local tastes.

Store manager Jim Fryrear said he spent time browsing area stores for what appealed to residents before ordering special merchandise for this store, including items not found in other Wal-Marts.

There are entire sections of international home décor items, faux chocolate leather ottomans and storage bins, fireplace candle holders, fashionable dinnerware, bed and bath linens and some of the latest designs in small appliances.

In the deli, fresh sushi and sashimi will be prepared by an independent Japanese

Weary shoppers are invited to relax on one of the benches located throughout the store or wander over to the electronics section for the newest in home enter-tainment.

Fryrear said the customer service section has been expanded to four registers to minimize waiting in line for returns. For now, the garden section will be lim-ited to mums, but future plans include an on-site horticulturalist to select the best plants for this region. Local seamstresses will be disappointed that there is no fabric section, although Fryrear said he’s working on that.

Shelves are still being stocked and while the gro-cery section is nearly com-plete, all the fresh foods will arrive just in time for the grand opening.

Fryrear added that employ-ment positions are filled, but he is taking on extra help in some departments for anyone still wishing to apply.

In her new position, Enos will oversee the gift and book shop at the George Washington Birthplace National Monument, organize events sponsored by the associa-tion, set up and supervise exhibits at Northern Neck events, produce mailings to members, and coordi-nate association activities with the National Park Service personnel. She also will handle production of the association journal, Pope’s Creek Chronicles, and the asso-ciation newsletters.

“I realize the importance of the association to the birthplace and

I’m particularly excited about the vision for the future and the goals we have set,” Enos said. “George Washington’s Birth-place is unique in that it is a working, thriving farm thanks to the collective hard work of the National Park Service and our association’s members and supporters.”

The mission of the George Washington Birthplace Asso-ciation is to foster understand-ing of the life and times of the Washington family and rekindle an appreciation of President Washington’s character.

Bay Window Yarns will host the “It’s Your Bag” trunk show October 27 at the shop on Irving-ton Road from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The show features custom designed and crafted bags in a variety of sizes for carrying knitting and crocheting projects by Lawre O’Leary, designer and owner of Lawre’s Laine in Blacksburg.

“We’re excited to have Lawre O’Leary visit our shop with her unique approach of helping each customer design a bag that fits their individual personality,” said owner Candy Terry. “Custom-ers will be able to select both the outer fabric and the lining of their bags from a wide selection of fab-rics including tapestry, chenille, cotton blends, raw silks in jewel tone colors, and leathers.

“The braided leather handles with bead trim can be selected in a choice of color to match their fabric selection. The bags make a great gift for oneself or the knit-ter or crocheter in your life. The smaller sizes also make great purses,” Terry said.

Lawre’s Laine (“laine” is French for “wool”) began mar-keting custom bags after O’Leary made and gave them as gifts to friends and family. Soon she had inquiries from others who saw

Physical therapist Nancy O. Byrne, founder of Carousel Phys-ical Therapy in Kilmarnock, has retired

Byrne opened the doors of Carousel October 17, 1994. The first out-patient clinic was at 281 N. Main Street in Kilmarnock and moved to 500 Irvington Road in Kilmarnock in October 1999.

Byrne moved to the Northern Neck in 1989 to work at Rap-pahannock General Hospital as director of physical therapy ser-vices. She practiced in acute care settings with affiliated out-patient clinics and long-term care facili-ties.

“I have been working as a licensed physical therapist for 46 years and within the profession for 54 years. Carousel Physical

Therapy has been a major part of my life for the last 13 years. Naturally, retirement will be a huge change for me. I will miss helping people reach their physi-cal potential. However, Carousel’s dedication to excellence will not waiver. I am leaving the clinic in the hands of new owner Vicki VerMeer, M.S.P.T. and the same dedicated staff. I couldn’t ask for anything better,” Byrne said.

A luncheon honoring Byrne was held at the Golden Eagle Golf Club restaurant, Captain B’s.

“Your guidance and mentor-ship over the years have taught me what it takes to be a great leader and therapist. You will always be the soul of Carousel Physical Therapy,” VerMeer said in her farewell tribute.

the bags and asked her to make one for them. Her bags are now available in yarn shops in eight states and Washington, D.C. She also creates custom binders for holding knitting and crocheting needles and hooks.

The company has been oper-ating for two years, but O’Leary has been knitting and sewing since she was young.

“My mother taught my Brownie troop to knit when I was seven,” she said. “She also taught me how to sew. She was a believer in doing it right, so I spent many hours ripping stuff out until it was good enough for her.”

O’Leary is always on the look-out for a unique fabric or leather that lends itself to making a bag that becomes a work of art or has special meaning.

“I once bought a piece of metallic hot pink leather from a man making chaps. I chuckle every time I picture those cow-boys.” After the shootings at Vir-ginia Tech, the bags she makes from orange and maroon leather became known as Hokie hope bags.

Bowl Games of America recently announced the selec-tion of the Lancaster High School Band as featured per-formers in the Allstate BCS National Championship Bowl in New Orleans January 7.

This football game pits the two top college football teams in America against each other in the Louisiana Superdome to determine the BCS National Champion. Over 70,000 fans filled the stands in last year’s BCS National Championship Bowl in Arizona while mil-lions more watched the game on national television.

Under the direction of Robert Spiers and Kenny Fles-ter, the Lancaster High School Band from Lancaster will join other marching and field show bands from across the country to perform in one of the most spectacular half-time shows of all the NCAA bowl games. Participating bands were invited to this event as a result

On November 1, Richard Carter will return to Rappah-annock Institute for Lifelong Learning (RILL), to teach the first session of decora-tive arts.

He will present slides and examples from his private collection to illustrate how heroes of the Revolution and prominent Americans of that era were depicted in contem-porary prints. These figures were perceived differently in this country and in Europe, adding interesting anecdotes to his lecture.

Carter reports that many prints were made from large paintings and reduced to a size that was appropriate for etchings. He became inter-ested in prints when he was at the Museum of American Art and The Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

On November 8 and 15, RILL has invited Helen Scott Reed to teach the second and third sessions of decorative arts. In lecture and slides, she will present an overview of the Orient’s influence in European and American architecture and decorative arts from the 16th to the 20th century. She has led Euro-pean tours for the Smithson-ian Institute.

of their musical excellence and community support.

The mass band will assemble together in New Orleans for three days of intense rehearsal under the direction of nation-ally acclaimed band directors and clinicians. Field Show Bands also will have a chance to compete before a panel of outstanding judges, with the field show of the winning band to be played on the jumbotron during pre-game festivities at the BCS Championship Bowl.

The Lancaster High School Band will receive plaques, trophies, commemorative patches, and a souvenir DVD, and will be honored with an evening of dinner, dancing and awards.

The Lancaster High School Band Boosters is raising money to help send the band to the bowl game. Donations may be mailed to the LHS Band Boosters, P.O. Box 3, Lancaster, VA 22503.

Reed has an educational background in art history. She is a doctoral candidate in architecture at the Uni-versity of Virginia. She lives in Sharps and Goochland County.

The decorative arts course is scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m. at the Warsaw campus of Rap-pahannock Community Col-lege.

To register, call Sharon Drotleff at Rappahannock Community College, Edu-cational Foundation Inc., at 333-6707, or toll free 877-722-3679. The fee for the course is $30, and advance registration is required.

Senior linebacker Luke Saun-ders had eight tackles and “did a good job of taking out [Washington and Lee’s] lead blockers,” in Lancast-er’s homecoming game last Friday, according to LHS coach Billy Jarvis. Saunders “played hard and chased the ball down,” he added.

��

By Lisa Hinton-ValdrighiTo win, coach Billy Jarvis

predicted his team would have to play a near-perfect game to beat Washington and Lee in the two teams’ North-ern Neck District opener last Friday.

As it turned out, Lancaster’s homecoming performance was anything but perfect.

The Eagles broke open a one-touchdown lead in the third quarter to spoil Lan-caster’s celebration with a 35-0 shutout for the Devils’ f irst loss of the season.

The Devils had two turn-overs in the second half, both resulting in W&L touch-downs, and some costly penalties which brought up fourth and long situations that they couldn’t convert.

“When you’re playing a good team you have to be mentally ready to play a full game, not three quar-ters,” said Jarvis. “And in the second half we stopped play-ing, mentally.”

Lancaster came into the homecoming game unbeaten, while the Eagles had only two wins. However, coach Malcolm Lewis had an ace in the hole in former all-state rusher Marquese Gray, who had been absent from the W&L roster until three weeks ago. Gray ran roughshod over Northampton two weeks ago in his f irst game and Friday he made sure the Red Devils knew he was back.

The flashy Washington and Lee rusher ran for 211 yards and a touchdown. He helped the Eagles improve to 3-4 and pick up a Northern Neck win for a 1-0 league start. W&L will face unbeaten Essex in the final game of the season. Between now and then, they should pick up a pair of wins over Rappahannock and Nor-thumberland to finish their 2007 regular season cam-paign at 5-5.

The homecoming defeat knocked Lancaster out of the Group A poll’s top 10. The Devils took an unbeaten record into Friday’s game and were ranked eighth in the state last week. They will still likely go 8-2 and earn a play-off berth. With a 6-1 overall record and 0-1 district mark, Lancaster will go to Rappah-annock (2-4) tomorrow night (October 19) for the Raiders’ district opener. LHS will play host to Essex October 26 then take a week off before wrap-ping up the regular season at Northumberland (0-1, 1-6) November 9.

“I’ve told them, they can’t take Rappahannock lightly,” said Jarvis. “The one team we’ve played since I’ve been here that doesn’t fear us is Rappahannock. So our kids have to be ready to play.”

Rappahannock will pose the usual problem for Lan-caster. The Raiders are bigger and stronger.

“The bigger, faster thing made a difference [against W&L], no doubt,” said Jarvis.

Outmatched again in weight, height and numbers, Lancaster played a strong first half, holding the Eagles to a 3-yard touchdown run by Justin Hobbs to trail 7-0 at the break.

Quarterback Larry Brown of Lancaster scrambles to gain ground during a homecoming game last week against W&L.

Brian Jones’ face shows his frustration after W&L scored its third touchdown during Lancaster’s homecoming game.

But two turnovers early in the third, including a pass interception by Dillon Jack-son in the Eagle endzone, and a 40-yard TD pass play from Scott Taylor to Jackson, shifted momentum totally in W&L’s favor.

“The biggest thing I was disappointed in was the two situations where we should have scored in the first half and didn’t complete the passes,” said Jarvis. “That score should have been 14-7 us at halftime.”

Instead, the Eagles’ third-quarter interception in the endzone gave them the ball on their own 20 and they marched 80 yards on four plays to go up 14-0. Lan-caster had driven to the 4-yard line to bring up a first and goal after two pass inter-ference calls on W&L. The Devils put up an incomplete pass and Baker was stopped for no gain before Jackson’s interception.

Another interception, this one by Terry Burrell at the LHS 35-yard line, set up the Eagles third touchdown, a 4-yard run by Hobbs with 2:48 to go in the third.

It was about then that the Devils’ defense started to wear down.

W&L went up 21-0 and stuck in two more TDs in the fourth on Gray’s 42-yard run and Hobbs’ 14-yard carry.

Adrian Luna was perfect on the night, converting five W&L scores with PAT kicks.

Kentel Noel, a sophomore

rusher, stepped up to lead Lancaster’s ground game with 76 yards on 10 carries. Baker gained 39 yards on 10 carries and completed 2 of 10 passes for 16 yards. He also made two catches for 26 yards.

Larry Brown completed 6 of 10 passes for 57 yards and rushed for 29 yards on 11 carries.

Linebacker Luke Saunders led the defense with 8 tack-les.

Washington and Lee took a 27-0 lead in the first half and went on to beat Lancaster, 33-14, in a Northern Neck District JV football game last Wednesday.

Lancaster gained just 50 yards on the ground behind ball carriers Stephen Ohree, Jordan Segar and Keith Veney.

Ohree, who stepped into the quarterback position when the former QB transferred, put the ball in the air for the first time in a game situation.

“A lot of people got a chance to touch the ball this week,” said LHS coach Mike McIn-tire. “With the change in quar-terbacks, we haven’t thrown the ball a lot this season. So in the second half we decided to air it out and see what hap-pened.

“I was pleased with their performance in the second half, but the kids are still not putting together two good halves of football,” he added.

Ohree hit Roger Lee on a 20-yard pass for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and con-nected with eighth-grade receivers Joel Hudnall and Dalton Moore and sophomore Michael Alston for one recep-tion each.

After giving up four unan-swered touchdowns in the first half, Lancaster got on the board in the third quarter when Tiko Henderson bolted 70 yards on a kickoff return.

With a much stronger second half, the Devils recov-ered two onside kicks and got into the redzone before turn-ing the ball over on a fourth

The Lady Devils upset pre-viously unbeaten Northum-berland last week to move into a tie for first place in Northern Neck District varsity volley-ball.

Both the Indians and Lan-caster now have one district loss each. The two will meet again in the regular season finale next Thursday, October 25, in Heathsville.

The Lady Devils swept Nor-thumberland in two games, 25-17, 25-13, to improve to 12-4 overall and 3-1 in the district.

“The girls played a great defensive game,” said LHS coach Dave Zeiler.

Tyesha Harvey had nine blocks on the night to bring her season total to 100. She also had eight kills to lead the

team’s net play.Takeia Jones, who led the

team behind the line with 12 service points, also got above the net for four kills. Carly Webb had three and three blocks.

Jones scored on 10 of 12 serves with two aces in the second game. Bailey Garrett scored 10 service points, all in the first game.

Abby Robbins led the setters with 12 and also had five digs. Sara Caudle had four digs.

In the JV game, the Lady Devils also came away with a 2-1 win over Northumber-land.

Northumberland took the Devils to extra points for a 26-24 win in the first game before Lancaster rebounded for back-

to-back wins, 27-25, 15-13, in the best of three series.

Rachel Haywood, who had 12 service points, including an ace, two sets and six digs, was the “key to our win,” said LHS coach Gary Gilbert.

Danielle Shelton, Nicole Shelton and Katie Maine each had 10 service points. D. Shel-ton also had two spikes, four sets and four digs.

The JV Lady Devils improved to 3-1 in the North-ern Neck District and 11-3 overall.

The JV and varsity teams have two more home matches remaining, including tonight’s (October 18) district meet-ing with Washington and Lee. Lancaster will host Rappahan-nock on Tuesday, October 23.

Larry and Lois Dawson of Lancaster won first-in-class with their son Christopher’s 1998 Nissan Altima at the Nopi Nationals Motorsports Super-show at the Atlanta speedway in Georgia September 16. An estimated 7,000 cars attended.

They regarded the win as a perfect memorial to their son who died in a car accident two years ago, they said.

The Nopi Drift World Finals, a new kind of racing, also were held at the speedway that week-end.

The Dawsons also won the Spring Nopi Nationals and the August Nopi show at Budd’s Creek, Md., and the July car show at Colonial Downs with the Altima.

Top coverTop cover for your blind can

be very annoying. It restricts your vision and can be difficult to swing and shoot through. Nev-ertheless, it is necessary for wary ducks.

The more wary they become, the more top cover you need. Circling ducks can look straight down at you, which is a view deer and turkeys seldom get.

You still need to wear your per-sonal camouflage and make sure all items in the blind are cam-ouflaged. This includes coolers, blind bags, gun cases and other gear. Often well-camouflaged hunters will sit brightly colored shotshell boxes out in the open, forgetting that ducks can see them and may flare.

A facemask and gloves are very helpful. In particular, a camo mask allows you to look up and keep track of circling birds. For early season or mild weather shooting, use mesh masks and gloves. In cold weather, wear a warm full-coverage facemask and insulated camo gloves.

The Jessie Ball duPont Fund has awarded the River Coun-ties Chapter of the American Red Cross a one-year grant in the amount of $58,333 to be used in conjunction with the Northern Neck Family YMCA for a comprehensive program for children and youth in Lan-caster County.

The services will include Red Cross-certified swimming lessons through Level I for all second-grade students at Lan-caster Primary School. The Red Cross and the YMCA are the largest providers of swim-ming lessons nationwide.

“The goals are to introduce swimming skills to non-swim-mers, improve existing skills and teach water safety,” said Julie Dudley, executive direc-tor of the Red Cross chapter.

The swim lessons are free to the children and to the school, and the school system provides transportation to the YMCA pool. The lessons were taught last year without funding, and 65 percent of the 114 children earned their Level I

certificates. “For a rural community like

this to be able to provide this kind of program is rare,” said Mark Favazza, branch execu-tive of the YMCA. “Because of our water venues, swimming proficiency is critical.”

The grant also will cover Red Cross babysitting training, provided for the first time in Lancaster County. The goal is to train 30 young people each year, ages 13 to 17, to care safely and appropriately for the children of this community.

At the Red Cross’s Octo-ber board meeting, Red Cross chairman Shawn Donahue pre-sented Favazza with a check for $48,413 from the duPont grant for the YMCA to use in execution of the programs. The Red Cross will use the remain-der for administration, train-ing, supplies, certification and related educational literature.

The comprehensive youth and children’s services also include a childhood obesity program, mentoring, and licensed child-care and preschool education.

Boating Course, the basic boat-ing instruction program offered by the Northern Neck Sail and Power Squadron, which begins Saturday, October 20, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Northumberland Public Library in Heathsville.

The course concludes October 27 at the same time and location.

Course graduates qualify for a Commonwealth of Virginia Safe Boating Certificate and a Certifi-cate of Personal Watercraft Oper-ation. To register, contact head instructor Twy Williams at 529-5093, or [email protected].

In the first session, the curricu-lum introduces nautical terminol-ogy and explains key navigation rules. Boaters learn what to do before getting underway and how to operate their vessels safely.

In the second session, the instructors present the legal side of boating and review techniques for handling boating emergen-cies. Prior to the certification exam, issues specific to boating in Virginia are covered.

All squadron instructors have taken training programs offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons and have been certified as qualified instructors by course sponsor, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Arthritis is the number one cause of disability in the U.S. Osteoarthritis, or OA, affects more than 21 million Ameri-cans—and the number of those affected dramatically rises each year.

Perhaps no group has closer experiences with arthritis than retired NFL athletes. Gridiron greats John Elway, Jim McMa-hon, Harold Carmichael and Rocky Bleier have teamed up with the Arthritis Foundation and their sponsor, Smith and Nephew, for “Game Plan for OA,” an education and awareness campaign to encourage a close patient/doctor relationship and to promote proper exercise with the goal of reducing the pain, stiff-ness and limitations of osteoar-thritis.

Elway, who played 16 seasons with the Denver Broncos, deals with arthritis daily.

“Believe me, if anyone knows about arthritis, it’s me,” said Elway. “Being active is what really makes me feel better. And the less I do, the worse I feel—so I try to do something every day. I find the less active I am, the stiffer and achier I get. I can tell the difference if I skip even one day.”

In addition to staying active, it is equally important to manage OA with your physician.

“It’s important to work with your doctor to set personal goals and strategies to take control of OA. Your doctor needs to clearly understand how arthritis impacts your life for you to get the best care,” said John H. Klip-pel, M.D., Arthritis Foundation president and chief executive

officer.To order a free Game Plan for

OA Playbook that gives winning strategies for staying active, as well as tips for working with the doctor, visit www.arthritis.org, or call the Arthritis Foundation at 800-568-4045.

According to Elway, the pur-pose of the Playbook is to help people create a treatment plan that works for them.

“Guys think we are really tough and have to live with the pain—and that it’s normal,” said Elway. “One thing I have learned is to explore treatment options with a doctor to find out what you can do to reduce the pain, because you can reduce it. Setting goals and taking control of your OA can get you off the sidelines and back into the game of life.”


Andrea Latell competed in the Chesapeake Man Ultra Dis-tance triathlon in Cambridge, Md., September 29. The event consisted of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, then a 26.2 mile run.

Latell completed the dis-tance in 14 hours and 40 min-utes placing second in her age group among 25 women and 140 men.

She started training for this event six months ago and fol-lowed an ironman training pro-gram, doing the majority of her workouts independently. She swam twice a week, cycled two to three times a week and ran three to four times a week. Her shortest workouts averaged 90 minutes and her longest was nine hours.

“I could not have done this without my husband,” Andrea said. “I would train six days a week starting around 5:30 a.m. and my husband pulled morn-ing duty with our one-year-old so I never missed a workout. I even continued the program when we were on vacation.”

Latell also has a fan club of which she was unaware. Five employees of the Lancaster school system rewarded her with a $100 gift certificate to

the Elizabeth Arden Spa for completing the race.

Latell comes from a compet-itive swimming background, having swam from ages 5 to 18 in her hometown of Ashland. She started running when she moved to Lancaster County in 1997. Six years ago she par-ticipated in her first triathlon because she thought it would be fun and a great way to stay fit.

She competes in many run-ning races from 10Ks to mara-thons every year and usually does four to five Olympic distance triathlons per year, which is about a quarter of the ironman distance. She has had the goal of completing an ironman for several years, and planned to do just one in her lifetime. However, she enjoyed the event so much, that she will have another one lined up at some point in her future.

Latell is a Licensed Profes-sional Counselor who special-izes in children and adolescent issues and has a private prac-tice in Kilmarnock and also goes to the Lancaster schools where she works with many students. She lives with her husband, Jerry, and son Jack-son in Irvington.

Larry Taylor took top honors scoring 404 points of a possible 420 in a Rappah-annock Pistol and Rifle Club match October 13. Tom Nance finished second with 391, and third place went to Dick Farr at 387.

The match, known as Los Alamitos, for the California area where it originated, fol-lows National Rifle Associa-tion action pistol rules. A total of 42 timed shots at three tar-gets over distances of 7, 10, and 25 yards is required. Each shot counts 10 points or can lose up to that many from a perfect score of 420.

Accurate shooting is chal-lenged by the necessity of having to use each hand sep-arately for a portion of the required shots. Shooting well from both the right and left sides while remaining be-hind a barricade must be accomplished, and the abil-ity to rapidly reload is also tested.

For the 14 competitors who participated, the .22 caliber semi-automatic target pistol was the dominate handgun used. Many, including all of the top three scorers, employed optical sights on their fire-arms.

Does exercise causeknee arthritis?

The answer is “No,” accord-ing to a recent study published in a national journal on Arthri-tis and Rheumatism.

In a nine-year study of 1,200 participants who were surveyed on their exercise habits, such as walking or jog-ging, asked if they had any knee pain and had knee x-rays taken, it was found that people who exercised more were no more likely to develop knee arthritis than their sedentary counterparts.

Previous small studies have shown mixed results. For example, some data have sug-gested that older people who participate in heavy physical activities such as jogging or cycling will suffer more knee problems.

However, other small stud-ies indicate that knee exer-cise prevents arthritis. While we wait for more definitive research on exercise and knee arthritis, it seems prudent to keep exercising. Exercise is the key to good health in so many ways.

Retired NFL greats team up to tackle osteoarthritis

The cooler days of fall are an excellent time to prepare the car for the potential ravages of winter.

According to the experts at the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), “Cold weather will only make existing problems worse.” That’s why a few minutes in the garage this fall could help prevent a much more time consuming and unpleasant experience this winter.

Here are a few items that are easy and simple to check before fall turns to winter. Always read the owner’s manual, and follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedules. No one knows a car better than the company that manufactured it.

• Motor oil: The easiest way to protect and improve the per-formance of a car is to upgrade to a high-performance synthetic motor oil, and change it regularly. Synthetic motor oils have better low-temperature fluidity and a lower coefficient of friction than mineral-based motor oils.

This will help ensure easier start-ups on cold-weather days. Some motor oils offer continu-ous engine protection. Addition-ally, some have been proven in independent tests to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and increase horsepower and torque.

• Tires: Worn tires can be extremely dangerous on rainy, snowy and icy terrain and roads. Examine tires’ tread life and wear. Be sure to check the side-walls for cuts and nicks as well.

All-season radials or winter tires are a wise investment for those who must drive in inclem-ent weather regularly. Check tire pressure and rotate as recom-mended. Don’t forget to check the spare, and be sure the jack functions properly.

• Cooling system: The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. It may be time for a flush and refill if it’s been more than a couple of years since the coolant has been changed.

A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is usually recommended. Additionally, the condition of hoses should be checked for cracks and leaks.

• Windshield wipers: Check the condition of wiper blades, and replace them if needed. If climate is harsh, purchase rubber-clad, winter blades to fight ice buildup. Stock up on winter-formula windshield washer solvent. Buy an ice scraper and stash it in the back seat or trunk.

Fall car care will help forgo frosty frustration

• Battery: A dead battery can make a cold winter morning mis-erable. If your battery is beyond its recommended service life, replace it. Top any low battery cells with distilled water.

Clean and tighten battery ter-minals to ensure electricity gets from the battery to the starter on chilly fall mornings. If corrosion is present, clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water, and put on a set of battery washers to keep corrosion from returning.

Make sure the battery termi-nals and hold downs are tight. It’s also good to clean and lubricate hinges and the hood latch.

• Fuel: It’s important to keep gas lines from freezing in cold weather. No vehicle can run if it can’t get fuel. A full gas tank will help prevent moisture and ice from forming.

Particularly cold weather may warrant using a fuel de-icer or block heater to prevent fuel lines from freezing.

Properly preparing a car for winter is simple and doesn’t require a lot of time or technical expertise. The payback in reduced risk of a preventable breakdown and improved performance is well worth the minimal effort.

Two of the three break-fast reimbursement rates are slightly lower than the lunch rates for the $1.10 regular-priced meal.

According to Aramark, the division receives $1.61 for each free meal, $1.31 for each reduced-priced meal, and $.31 for each full-priced meal.

However, the Food and Nutrition Service website lists slightly different reimburse-ment rates: $1.35 for free; $1.05 for reduced; and $.35 for paid.The meal deal

Since privacy issues dictate that each child’s economic situ-ation is to be kept strictly con-fidential, the point of service (POS) computerized system has proven to be a great help, according to assistant food ser-vice director Brenda Parrott.

It is especially so at the high school where peer pressure is such an issue, she said.

Now that each student has their own identity code, no one knows what they pay for their lunch and the proof is that more teens are purchasing meals, explained Sigler.

She said participation is up as high as 93 percent at the high school showing that teens are purchasing something from Aramark every day.

Children need to combine a bread, a protein, and a veg-etable or fruit for a meal, said Sigler.

However, ala carte and snack items are also offered, such as 100-percent fruit juice, cook-ies, ice cream, baked chips, 100-percent-juice slushees, and bottled water.

Parrot said the older children can choose any single food item for purchase.

“However, we recommend that they buy an entire meal,” said Parrott.

She said the lunchroom staff tries to help kids make good choices for lunch, so encour-ages the pizza-lovers to add an apple and low-fat milk or the 100-percent juice for a bever-age.

It makes economic and nutri-tional sense for the family as well as the school division, too. A single giant slice of pizza is $1.85—the same price as an entire nutritionally-balanced lunch.The contract

Regional and corporate Ara-mark representatives in town October 8 told the school board that the food service is look-ing to expand it offerings in a variety of ways—partly from necessity.

According to the Aramark officials, the baseline number of meals to be served as speci-fied in the 2006 request for proposal (RFP) to the company was off by about a third, stat-ing numbers which proved to be too high.

Aramark made all its budget-ing projections based on that inflated number of subsidized and so came up short almost $49,000 at the end of fiscal year 2007 (last June 30), according to school superintendent Susan Sciabbarrasi.

Sciabbarrasi had told county supervisors in a September 27, 2007, letter of “a number of expenses that were paid during fiscal 2007 that were in fact 2006 expenses that should have been accrued to the prior year.”

The end result was a total food service loss for fiscal year 2007 of over $114,000 which caused the superintendent to appear before the board of supervisors recently to request a “loan” for the school cafete-ria account.

Two possible explanations for the shortfall were that the number in the original RFP were in error or that fewer stu-dents ate cafeteria food last year.

The second explanation was refuted by Aramark.

Sigler offered proof that the numbers were up during their first year in the division.

“The federal commodities increased $5,000 this year. That’s the amount of free food you get based on increased par-ticipation,” she explained.

Ward said the average jump in participation is between 15 and 25 percent from the former service to the end of the first year of Aramark’s service in a school division.

Based on the actual number of meals served last year, Ara-mark officials have projected to serve more meals this year for which they earn 8 or 9 cents in administrative and manage-ment fees per meal.

Yet Sciabbarrasi worried that

there is “no room for error” because the snow days or other significant unplanned school closures affect the bottom line with Aramark.A snag

Things were looking up until the first week of October.

That’s when a decision was made to eliminate the pre-kin-dergarten (pre-K) afternoon snack which amounted to a loss of $9,100 in the food service budget at the $.75-reimburse-ment rate for each snack.

According to Ernest Palin Jr., director of federal pro-grams for the division, federal revenue to the division is down about $36,000 this year.

In addition, the state recently encouraged all divisions to choose from two or three preschool curricula which it endorsed rather than various divisions continuing with a locally-developed curriculum.

The cost of that new curricu-lum is another $8,000 which hadn’t been anticipated.

“We were trying to balance the budget,” Palin explained.

Palin said he learned from the teachers that “most” pre-K chil-dren (four-year-olds) weren’t finishing their afternoon snack, so it was decided that snacks could be eliminated.

Palin said it boiled down to deciding how the division’s money should be spent and what needed to be cut.Labor complications

Besides the questionable numbers for breakfast and lunch meals provided in the RFP for last school year, a question has arisen about the contracting procedure.

According to Doyle, Ara-mark was the only bidder when the school board went shopping for an outside food service.

Last week, school board member Carl Failmezger ques-tioned the fact that Dr. Latimore had signed the new 2007-08 contract with Aramark with-out any input from the school board.

He asked the four Aramark representatives present at last week’s meeting if that was cus-tomary. Each answered to the contrary.

Aramark representatives added at that time that another complicating factor in not meeting last year’s budget was being in the dark about employee costs last year.

“We weren’t getting the dis-trict labor numbers,” Aramark regional manager Douglas Roemer told the school board.

He added that the company had asked for the information “numerous times.”

That has been remedied this year with Sigler and Sciab-barrasi meeting once a month, as well as a “very good work-ing relationship” which divi-sion budget director Sue Salg said she and Sigler have devel-oped.

Sciabbarrasi told the board that an unanticipated $10,000 had been spent in cafete-ria repairs recently, with the budget showing no line item for repairs and maintenance.

She added that within the next 30 days the division will be conducting a capital equip-ment inventory to prevent sur-prises like that.

Another issue surrounding the shortfall in the “schools cafeteria” budget is the cafete-ria personnel issue.

The 20 cooks and line work-ers are split evenly between those employed by Aramark and those still employed by the division.

When the schools first con-tracted with Aramark for the 2006-07 school year, most of the cafeteria workers opted to stay on as division employ-ees rather than switching to become Aramark employees.

According to Aramark gen-eral manager Ward, part of the issue is the school division caf-eteria employees are working more hours than the Aramark employees.

The benefit package for Aramark employees (mostly part-time workers) amounts to an additional 35 percent of their pay, while that of division cafeteria workers amounts to almost 48 percent more.

The contractual arrangement between the school division and Aramark stipulates that new-hires will become Ara-mark employees, not division employees.

One person trying to figure out all the numbers in this issue is Jack Larson, assistant county administrator for bud-geting and finance.

Larson continues to express wonder at the math practiced in the Northumberland schools cafeteria budget in which he says 150 more kids are served for $200,000 less. Catering

Aramark is definitely look-ing for more local business and taking a broad-brush approach.

Parents are urged to have lunch with their kids. They need to call ahead to make arrangements. The $2.50

lunch for parents won’t bring a USDA reimbursement to the schools, but it will mean busi-ness for Aramark.

Aramark has plans to boost mealtime participation even more among kids.

The food service plans promotions each month. A drawing of names from kids voting for their favorite lunch will result in a lucky winner receiving a $20 gift card to Wal-Mart.

Other tasty strategies from Aramark are providing take-out meals for educators and staff, and family take-home orders of Spike’s popular pizza.

At the October meeting, Sigler urged the school board members and anyone else wanting a 16-inch cheese pizza with homemade sauce and crust for $6, with additional toppings at $.50 each, to place their order with Parrott at 435-6718 the day before for 2:30 p.m. pickup.

In addition, school and com-munity organizations are wel-come to design fund-raisers utilizing sales of Aramark’s pizza.

Aramark also intends to get into the catering business locally whether it’s cookies and punch for an afternoon bridge group or hors d’oeuvres for a wedding reception or prime rib for a company banquet.

Catering information also is available from Parrott.

“We want the program to win and we want to be partners in the community,” Ward said.

that since 1998, Aramark has been consistently ranked by its peers and industry ana-lysts as one of the top three most-admired companies in its industry.

Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Aramark one of the 40 Best Companies for Diversity since more than half of its U.S. workforce is made up of minorities.

Now the company calls 420 public schools nationwide its food service partners, as well as preschools and daycares, colleges and universities, hos-pitals, airlines, conference and convention centers, and cor-rectional institutions.

In addition, the giant food service boasting 240,000 employees in 18 countries con-tracts to provide meal service at football and baseball stadi-ums and is currently setting up in China for the next Olympic Games.Automation updated

This year, Aramark supplied a new computerized system which lets each school child key in a four-digit identifica-tion number on a little flat-square box which calls up their records on an adjacent touch-screen sitting before the food service manager or cashier at each school.

The manager records what each child chooses for lunch or snacks, checks to see if the child still has money in their account, and watches care-fully for an alert to flash on the screen indicating that a child has chosen an item containing ingredients to which the child has an allergy.

According to Aramark’s Cris Sigler, food service director for Lancaster schools and her assistant director Brenda Par-rott, safety is a very important issue not only for the school children served, but the food service employees as well.

The new technology is called a point of service (POS) system and also offers the capability to print out a report for a parent showing the child’s menu choices for the last few days or weeks as well as the cash balance in the child’s caf-eteria account.

Next year, the system will allow parents direct online access to the child’s account to see if it’s time for another infu-

sion of cash and to learn what kind of menu choices the kids have been making.

The county is buying the $24,000 system from Aramark over four years at no interest.

In addition to the built-in food allergy safety compo-nent, the equipment will be cost-saving in its ability to trim management hours. It now takes the manager one-fourth the time needed last year to close out the day’s activity.Now serving

Sigler and Parrott can tell what the menu favorites are at each school.

At the primary school they report it’s chicken nuggets (with whole-wheat breading), while at the middle school baked chicken reigns supreme.

A popular new choice at the high school this year is a deli line featuring sub sandwiches.

According to Sigler and Parrot, the new deli sandwiches seem to be offering some com-petition to teenagers’ perennial favorite pizza.

However, the food service directors are quick to note a nutritional benefit connected with the their pizza. Two and one-half cups of low-fat mozzarella is melted on top of each of the 20 or more 16-inch pies, which they proudly say feature homemade sauce and crust, consumed daily at both the middle and high schools.

Primary school children can also choose pizza as part of their lunch.

Two other popular items at all the schools are spaghetti and nachos.

“We are here to provide the most nutritious, tasty, and safe meals that kids can buy,” Par-rott said.

Also new this year for staff and teachers is a bistro menu which Aramark offers as “a healthy alternative for the active educator.”

A tuna salad platter, deli sandwiches, wraps, and soups and exotic chicken salads are some of the offerings.

Breakfast brings another range of choices.

Among the weekly choices for the early diners are pan-cakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls, sausage and cheese biscuits, breakfast pizza, and scrambled eggs and toast.

Third-graders enjoy baked chicken and pizza.

FARNHAM— A Maidens man was killed October 13 in a two-vehicle crash in Richmond County. The crash occurred at approximately 1:20 p.m. on Route 3 approximately half-a-mile west of Route 608 near the Lancaster County line.

Virginia State Police Senior Trooper O. B. Moody Jr. inves-tigated the crash.

The trooper’s investiga-tion revealed that a 1987 Ford Mustang was traveling west-bound on Route 3 when the vehicle crossed over the center line into the eastbound lane and struck a 1988 Chevrolet

pickup head-on.The driver of the 1987 Ford

Mustang was Joseph Webb Beasley, 19, of Gloucester. Beasley, who was not wear-ing a safety belt, was airlifted to VCU Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the 1988 Chev-rolet pickup was Clarence Reuben Grady, 66, of Maid-ens. Grady, who was wearing a safety belt, died at the scene of the crash.

While excessive speed appears to be a factor, the cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Goochland County mankilled in Farnham crash

By Audrey ThomassonKILMARNOCK—Under

the leadership of newly elected chairman Raymond Booth, planning commission members grappled with an ordinance to allow building a cottage or garage apartments for use by in-laws or renters in residential subdivisions zoned (R-1).

At issue was the restriction of establishing a minimum lot size at a half acre, acre, or acre and a half before an additional unit could be con-sidered, unless already estab-lished on the property.

Town attorney and acting zoning administrator Chris Stamm agreed to draft the ordinance for commission-ers’ review before next month’s meeting and public hearing on the new code.

Stamm also said town council has appropriated funds to update the subdivi-sion codes, which were not covered in last year’s revi-sions by commissioners and council. He suggested com-missioners evaluate cur-rent zoning and subdivision

codes and their compatibility with the comprehensive plan. Stamm invited the public to submit written input on what they would like members to consider.

Commission member Claudia Williamson raised a citizen’s complaint about bicycle riding on Kilmar-nock sidewalks, saying that kids were jumping over rail-ings with their bikes and becoming a danger to pedes-trians. She called for a new code that would forbid riders on the sidewalks.

An objection was imme-diately lodged by commis-sioner Steve Bonner who is a bike enthusiast.

“I’m going to ride on the sidewalks,” he said. “We have bike racks on the side-walks…..kids will be kids.”

Even with more rules, town council representative Les Spivey said he did not expect kids to do anything different than they do now.

Stamm suggested the matter be referred to the police department for enforcement of rules already in place.
