Now for the events of the past week
-- AARP met with Gene Olcott
presiding. Polly Hockensmith gave an
apt invocation and then all saluted the
Flag. Usual business followed. Presi-
dent Olcott praised the kitchen staff
for its fine lunches. He also mention-
ed the AARP pharmacy and its
number 1-800-845-2178. Fifty-two
members were present. The speakers
of the day were Clark Hicks,
Republican, and Bob Buracker,
Democrat, who are running for the of-
fice of sheriff. Mr. Hicks said the du-
ty of the sheriff is to serve the people.
He will insist that any offender be
treated properly. If elected, he will
work on landfill needs and drug prob-
lems. He will monitor those who live
here but keep out of town licenses, and
he will closely monitor the tax office.
Mr. Buracker will give more protec-
tion to senior citizens. He says those
problems are due to drug problems.
State and Federal government must
work together along with the local
government and more money is need-
ed to hire more police. He will monitor
the litter problem and keep the tax of-
fice open during the noon hours. He
stressed the need for all citizens in the
community to become involved. The
meeting adjourned and all enjoyed a
delicious lunch.
At the recent Shennondale golf
scramble, Henry.Aaron's team came
in with a first. On the team were
Carlos Ruiz, Phil Minke, Henry Aaron
and Ginny Nutzman, who played a
very fine game that day. We con-
gratulate all[
The Jeffersonian Manor Nursing
Home's Employee Council held a
fashion show and dinner at the KV
Lounge in the Fox Glen area. Models
from the nursing home were Shirley
Clark, Doll Donovan, Charlene
Twyman, Millicent Cain, LaVerne
Bishop, Karen Kilmer, and Naomi
Hester, and fashions were from
Lerner in Richmond, Nichols in Mar-
tinsburg, Fashion Bug in Charles
Town, Penney's in town, and The Barn
in Inwood. Vicki Mason presented the
group and then invited all to enjoy a
delicious dinner before the show. The
dinner was prepared in the nursing
home kitchen.
The narrator was Cami Nelson.
Costumes were a bridal one that suited
Avery Baird so well and she also wore
a lovely velvet gown and matching
hat. Featured were suits with a skirt
or pants, casual wear, and colors pro-
minent were red, green, and gray.
Hats were in evidence and proved to
be a big factor this fall. Vicki thanked
all who came and then prizes were
awarded to Vicki Winston by Mary
Kay, Ethylene Clinton, Regina
Walker, Deanna Keisecker, Annette
Tyler; Leslie Brooks'an d Molly Dean.
All models appeared in a favorite
costume and one especially, that of in-
timate lingerie, drew the oohs and
ahhs. The narrator thanked Naomi
Jackson (who organized this event and
livened up the fashion segment), Vicki
Mason, Debbie Lockey and Shirley
Lark. All sang "Happy Birthday" to
Naomi and left alert to new fashions
and weU-fed.
Ann Conant is so proud of her
daughter, Laura Ingles, husband,
Mike, and the grandchildren, John and
Penny, who won all kinds of honors at
the recent Arlington Fair. This is a
talented, busy family and they are now
working on things for next year. We
congratulate all for their many first,
second and third place awards.
Saturday, September 10, the Shan-
nondale Woman's Club celebrated its
20th anniversary and it was great! Vi-
vian Kilpatrick was our head honcho
and she did it up fine in every way. The
tables were pretty with their white
cloths and a lovely basket of silk
autumn flowers which later became a
door prize. All around the room was
evidence of gold and, at the head table,
a lovely gold and blue sign denoted it
was an anniversary affair. At the head
table sat the current officers and their
husbands, the charter members, the
former presidents and all their
spouses.
At the organ was Graham White
from Frederick, and he played
beautiful music of bygone days and
often sang. Marion Warfel, current
president, introduced the head table of
Dottie Gillwald and husband Erhard,
Jessie Nowell and Dola Edwards, who
is a past president. Those were charter
members. Then came the past
presidents -- Lorraine Ricketts,
Goldie Viana and Buddy, Louise Hall,
Ellie Walters and Edna Nethken.
About 106 were present. Vivian gave
each a beautiful red rose as they were
introduced. Fran Poyner, current cor-
responding secretary, read letters
from those who were unable toattend.
Then, Charles Lilly gave an apt in-
vocation and Marion urged all to en-
joy the lovely buffet. Ernie Becker,
our board member in charge of the kit-
chen, did a fine carving job. He, on
behalf of the kitchen staff, wished all
a happy 20th anniversary. We ended
this great dinner with a beautiful bir-
thday cake which came in with
sparklers burning. Ernie introduced
the kitchen staff of Catherine Lowe,
Verda Parker, Anita and Wayne
Riecks and Debbie Grey, and praised
their cooperation. Marion thanked Ann
Treadway, who had made special
covers for the yearbooks for those at
the head table. Ann and Catherine
Jonson were also thanked for handling
tickets at the door. Lil Viana drew
thanks for her table settings and lovely
flowers. Lyle Lilly, on behalf of the
board of directors, congratulated all
and noted how we have worked in all
areas and have been so generous.
Fran Poyner read a computer birth-
day card which compared today's liv-
ing with that of 20 years ago and if we
had forgotten, there was much to re-
mind us of those days. Then a few at
the head table recalled their days as
charter members or past presidents
and recalled some humrous items as
they reminisced. Lorraine Ricketts
said she had gone through the minutes
from the very beginning and she
related the different slants and issues
then and the changes through the
years, but she said her impression all
the time was "how great a group this
was in terms of unselfishness and
generosity.
Vivian Kilpatrick, chairlady, thank-
ed all who had helped in any way and
all who came. Then we enjoyed some
dancing to the music of Graham
White. This truly was a lovely
memorable affair and a fine tribute to
an equally fine organization.
Remember, the Old Opera House
Theatre Guild is sponsoring a tea
dance at the Shannondale Club Sun-
day, October 9, 4 to 7 p.m. Dave Baker
will furnish the music, there will be a
fine buffet and cash bar. Make reser-
vations through OOH by calling

cina Stonesifer. Money will be used

The Kiwaniannes met for their
regular meeting September 14 at the
Towna House Restaurant, but a little
earlier this time to enjoy a fine chicken
dinner. We had 15 members and two
guests. Kay Hocker gave the blessing
and we than pledged our allegiance to
the Flag. Phoebe Payne introduced
Dr. Rocco Cipriano, a microbiologist
at the Leetown Hatchery.
As Lt Governor of Kiwanis, he told
us that the International President
Gone Overholt had some main goals.
One is the steady concern about enroll-
ment in the Kiwanis clubs.
Kiwanis also will be stressing educa-
tion during the year.
After the talk, Kyle Baird announc-
ed a projects committee meeting with
members Phoebe Payne, Frances
Minke and Mae Collins, to decide on
a project for our group. Kay Hecker
and Harriet Perks were elected to the
board. Installation of Kiwanis and

Save Our View
Fund Started
Residents of the Shenandoah River-
Mountain Mission area have establish-
ed a war chest into which they are
depositing funds to be utilized in a
drive to "Save The View From Keyes
Ferry Gap Scenic Overlook."
According to Dr. Barbara Moulton,
the fund has been established in order
to mount a campaign aimed at preven-
ting a proposed quarrying operation
from destroying a view of the Shenan-
doah River and surrounding area from
an established viewpoint on Route 9 in
the mountainous area south of Charles
Town.
The concern was triggered by an an-
nouncement that Broyhill, Inc., a com-
pany which specializes in the quarry-
ing of limestone, had purchased large
acreage along the Shenandoah River
below the Bloomery, and had receiv-
ed an okay from the West Virginia
Department of Energy to establish
operations there.
This brought a first response form
a resident of the area, Rodney Dias,
who objected to possible destruction of
the scenic view, and who received sup-
port from other area residents in-
cluding Dr. Moulton.
As a result of Dias' attention to the
matter, the Department of Energy will
hold a public meeting on the proposal
on Thursday, September 22, in
Charleston. However, it is understood
efforts are being made to have the
hearing held in Jefferson County.
To this end, the "Save Our View"
fund has been established at the Bank
of Chales Town and persons wishing to
contribute to the cause may make
their contributions there.

Potomac Center
Homes Now
The Potomac Center is expanding
the service delivery to mentally
retarded and developmentally disabl-
ed individuals and their families. Two
beautiful brick group homes are
presently under construction in
Romney. The VOCA corporation from
Ohio designed the structures which
will serve a total of 14 clients.
Until the past 20 years or so there
were few living alternatives for the
developmentally disabled. Many of
these individuals had spent their lives
in institutions. Others had lived at
home with little or no contact with
their local schools and community. To-
day there are alternatives. The
Potomac Center is delighted to be able
to offer this service to the community.
The primary purpose of group
homes is to provide a homelike at-
