That was the question before members of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals at last Thursday’s meeting. Mrs. Dorothy Atkins of Flint Hill appeared before the board with an application to subdivide a two acre parcel into two one-acre lots. With her property zoned agricultural, Mrs. Atkins needed a variance from section 2-2-1 of the county’s zoning ordinance which sets minimum lot size in an agricultural zone at two acres. She told the board that her husband has a terminal disease and has been in and out of hospitals 12 times since his condition was first diagnosed in January, 1980. The house on her two acre lot “isn’t suitable for taking care of a sick person,” Mrs. Atkins said, and also needs a great deal of repair work, projects she can't get done with her husband ill. She explained that she needed the variance in order to subdivide her lot, located on Route 629 about a mile behind Foster’s apple packing house, sell one acre with the existing house and build a second dwelling more suitable for home care of an invalid on the remaining acre. According to Mrs. Atkins, her two acre lot is bounded by property that belongs to her sons-in-law' who have no objections to her subdivision proposal. BZA chairman Josef Gardiner asked Mrs. Atkins for the prognosis for her husband's survival. “There's no way of knowing how long he will live.” she replied. Gardiner suggested that Mrs. Atkins persuade her son-in-law to give her two acres of land so she wouldn’t need the variance on minimum lot size. She responded that her son-in-law needed the land for farming, adding that she wanted a smaller lot anyway because she’s unable to take care of the entire two acres. Definitely A Hardship “This is definitely a hardship case,” stated Gardiner.. “The board has the authority to grant a request like this for a definite hardship...We must have some type of hardship shown to justify this."

Staff Writrr The regularly-scheduled town council meeting held Wednesday, September 9 included a public hearing on the proposed town subdivision ordinance. No town residents appeared to question or oppose the ordinance and it was adopted unanimously by the council. Mayor Newbill Miller had received a call from Peter -Kramer requesting.that some mention be made of the historical significance of the town in the ordinance and the mayor asked John Cappelle, chairman of the Planning District Commission, where in the ordinance such a reference would be appropriate. Cappelle said that an explanation of the historic importance of the town should be made in the zoning ordinance, soon to be drafted by the Planning District Commission and discussed by the town council. Cappelle pointed out to the Council that the only major change made by the county Planning Commission when they reviewed the ordinance was to require that the adjoining property owners be notified by certified mail of the intent to subdivide. C. E. Giles made the motion to adopt the ordinance and Brad Fisher added a second. Miller asked Cappelle to begin work on the town zoning ordinance and Cappelle agreed to do that after the county ordinance was completed. He said that it would be November before he would have a draft of the ordinance. Giles put Miller's request in the form of a motion. With a second by Charlie Jenkins all council members voted in favor of Cappelle drafting the new zoning ordinance. The mayor opened bids which had been submitted for the jobs of mowing the grass and picking up trash around town. Of the three bids opened, they selected the (Continued on Page 2) Two Used Car Lots Approved By BZA Bv DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kn|i|>nhnnnm'k Vtm Staff W rit#r "If this decline continues on the same scale...we’ve got no where to go,” warned Robert Eastham as the Rappahannock school board reacted at last Tuesday’s meeting to dropping enrollment at both the elementary and high school. Oh the first day of classes, 1,030 students walked through the doors of tho county’s two public schools, a decline of eight percent from the 1,121 expected. The lower enrollment may cause repercussions in the schools’ funding outlook. Average daily membership partially determines the amount of money a locality gets from the state for education and Rappahannock's 1981-82 school budget is based on state reimbursement for an enrollment of 1,121. A decline in enrollment will bring a corresponding decline in money from the state and could throw revenue estimates out of kilter. “If the enrollment doesn't go up, it will necessitate changing budget figures,” superintendent Robert Estabrook cautioned on Tuesday. “I’m impressed with the downward change,” Eastham .Mid, noting that enrollment, up to 1.060 by last week, was down six percent from the start of school last year. Some classes have been hit harder than others, he said, pointing out that this year's 11th grade class shrank by 25 students compared to 1980SI. "I attribute most of the decline to the opening of alternative schools," said school board member Nancy Reeve. She reported that she knew of at least 15 youngsters whose parents had opted for private schools. “We have an obligation to get a handle on exactly what is going on...If they’re going to other schools, we need to find out why," responded Estabrook. He predicted that enrollment will pick up after the Labor Day weekend but repeated that the causes behind parents choosing alternatives to public schools . must be examined. "I assume part is on account of curriculum,” Estabrook added. He volunteered to visit private schools in the area, investigate how many county students are attending alternative institutions and why and then report back to the board. Estabrook also agreed to look into whether or not attending a private, unaccredited school satisifies Virginia’s compulsory education laws. Also related to the opening of school, the supintendent repeated compliments he handed out earlier in an interview with the Rappahannock News. “I’m very pleased, very impressed with what I saw,” said Estabrook who was at the bus shop and elementary school the first day of classes. "The bus drivers seemed to have a very positive at- titude...We had no reports of any youngsters left stranded so obviously they were efficient as well as pleasant.” Estabrook said he was also very pleased “at the rather extensive arrangements made by both teachers and aides to receive the little folk who were entering school for the first time.” He applauded administration and staff for an opening day at the elementary school which was “very smooth, very warm and (Continued on Page 4) husband’s condition and additional information from four different doctors who have treated him. With no further discussion, the board members voted unanimously to grant the variance for the subdivision of Atkins' two acre parcel into two one-acre lots. A second variance request involving a similar hardship based on illness was tabled, however. pending legal advice. According Jo the legal advertisement for the meeting, Mary and Frank Neal of Castleton applied to subdivide a 37 acre parcel zoned residential subdivision into one seven-acre and one 30-acre lot, requiring a variance from the ordinance’s prohibition against division of any lot zoned residential subdivision. Really Boundary Adjustment Secretary Patty Alexander attempted to explain to the BZA members that what the Neals were seeking was actually a boundary line adjustment rather than a division of the property. The land was purchased as two (Continued on Page 2) Bicyclist Hit Karl Killian of Heusenstman. West Germany was cited for reckless driving after striking a bicyclist qn Route 211 west of Washington near Pine Knot Inn. The accident occurred about 4 p.m. Saturday. Glenn Fletcher of Washington was traveling eastbound on his bicycle when he was struck by Killian who was also traveling east in a 1976 Lincoln. Fletcher was taken by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Fletcher, to Warren Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released. With the issuance of two special use permits by the Board of Zoning Appeals last Thursday, the Estes area gained two garage-inspection station-used car lots located just two miles apart on Route 729. A zoning ordinance amendment adopted earlier this year added garages and used car lots to uses allowed by special permit in an agricultural zone. Hushel Settle, whose request for a commercial rezoning prompted the garage amendment, was before the BZA last week to request authorization for a garage and used car lot located on Route 729, two and a half miles from the Culpeper line. BZA chairman Josef Gardiner noted that Settle has been operating a garage on his one acre lot for several years. "I assume there are no neighbors opposed (to granting the permit for the already existing garage and addition of the used car lot)?" BZA member George Muth asked. Settle replied that adjoining land owner Mrs. I. L. Parrish was the sole opponent at earlier hearings. He reported, however, that Mrs. Parrish has now changed her mind and isn’t opposed to his application for a special use permit but doesn't want to see garages and used car lots scattered all over the county. Settle presented a petition in favor of his application signed by the rest of his neighbors. He assured the BZA that he wouldn't expand his business to include sale of general merchandise. “I'm not going to sell anything but used cars. Used cars and a state inspection license is what I asked for.” Appearing on behalf of the Parrishes who are currently out of the state. Washington lawyer Peter Luke told the Soil Erosion Topic F or RLEP Meeting Soil erosion, the most insidious destroyer of farm land, will be discussed when the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection annual meeting convenes at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 18 in the county courthouse in Washington. Officers will also be elected for the coming year. "Common Sense Conservation in Land Development,” a slide-tape presentation developed by the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Commission, will give RLEP members and guests a new understanding of the problems of erosion and sediment control. The photos and narrative explain the situation from the viewpoints of not only the landowner but also the developer and local official, in farm, urban and suburban settings. The following slate of officers has been nominated for 1981-82: President - Phil Irwin; Secretary - Karen Torneden; Treasurer - Hugh Chrisman; Newsletter Editor Howdy Holschuh. Directors: Margery Albright, Harry Clarkson. Bob Dennis, Maurice Herndon, C. E. “Ned” Johnson, and George Sharp. Additional nominations may be made from the floor at the time of the meeting. RLEP members, guests, and the general public are invited. BZA that his clients are in favor of the special use permit but would like to have restrictions added. "Are you an attorney?" Gardiner interjected. When Luke replied that he's been licensed to practice law since passing the state's bar exams ten years ago. the BZA chairman insisted that he be sworn in before testifying. Possible Junkyard Luke said the Parrishes are concerned that an accumulation of inoperable cars which Settle may use for parts will turn the property into a junkyard. (The zoning ordinance amendment which allows garages and used car lots in an agricultural zone limits the number of cars for sale to five at any one time but does not set limits on the number of spare parts vehicles which may be stored on the lot). In addition, the attorney proposed that Settle’s hours of operation be restricted to between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with the garage closed Sundays. Luke also asked that the permit be granted for three years. By making the permit renewable, the BZA can ensure compliance with zoning ordinance regulations without having to resort to criminal proceedings, according to Luke. In response. Doris Settle, wife of the applicant, launched a tirade of objections. "It seems funny that every time we have a meeting, the Parrishes go out of town” and send someone else to speak in their behalf, she said. No Complaints From Settles She said she and her husband don’t tell the Parrishes what time they can get up. when they can open (Continued on Page 4) Philippine Exchange Student Enjoys Rappahannock Vir^lVMY — Rapp«hann<»ck New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson VICTOR LAGMAN, exchange student from the Philippine- poses on the front steps of the Castleton home of his foster family, sisters Wendy nd Kim (front, left to right) and mother Pat Helmer. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff I ritcr "It’s kind of neat. We’ve got somebody else to pick on!” said Kim Helmer of her new “adopted brother,” 16year-old foreign exchange student Victor Lagman of the Philippines. Victor is spending a year with the Helmer family of Castleton, the only boy in a house full of girls. As the mother of three daughters, Pat Helmer really wanted a boy when she volunteered as a host family in the Youth for Understanding exchange program. “At first, the kids weren't too thrilled but they're excited now!" Pat reported. A stranger would never guess that Victor has been in this country only a few weeks. Lounging in an easy chair in the Helmer's living room between two of his new sisters, he's totally relaxed, a wide grin fixed in place below dark, laughing eyes. His English is letter perfect, the result of years of study in school coupled with the practical experience gained from five different American exchange students who share his home in the Philippines. He speaks with just a hint of a southern drawl, courtesy of a young visitor from Knoxville, Tennessee. His older brothers also helped Victor add polish to his pronunciation and command of slang. Both spent a year in the U. S. in exchange programs, one working on a farm in Richmond, Indiana, and the second in Ohio. But. any midwest accent they passed along to their younger sibling has been buried under |"you ails” from Tennessee, i Victor’s English doesn’t carry a trace of his own flowing, musical language. According to Pat, his native tongue has “a Spanish flavor, a funny kind of Chinese twang with an American or Chinese word thrown in every now and then." Victor agreed with her discription. “But it’s not pidgeon!” he emphasized, pride in his Philippino heritage evident in his voice. And while Philippinos may have borrowed a few words from English, Americans have returned the favor, according to Victor. He got a chuckle out of the Helmers describing their Castleton home as being out in the boondocks. The spelling has slightly Americanized from the original "bundoks” but the meaning stayed the same in the borrowed form. Whether in the Philippines or in Rappahannock, boondocks are a long way from the city. Back home. Victor isn’t anywhere near the boonies. The family home was in downtown Quezon City, one of the Philippine’s major metropolitan areas. "But my dad didn't want to live such a fast paced life with all the heat, traffic and congestion,” Victor reported, so a couple of years ago, the Lagmans moved to the Quezon suburbs. His father, a semi-retired civil engineer, manages the family's processing plant and rubber plantation, a spread of about 100 acres in the southern Philippines. The word plantation conjurs up visions of cultivated fields and ante bellum mansions from the pages of Gone With The Wind but Victor’s family (Continued on Page 6) V *

Variance Approved (Continued from Page 1) separate tracts—one approximately 30 acres and the other seven acres, she said,, noting that their proposal involved no change in acreage. “That’s not what the application says,” Gardiner countered. The couple purchased 30.825 acres initially and later bought approximately seven more, Mrs. Neal said. She told the BZA members that illness now prevents both she and her husband from taking care of the property. Her husband has been hospitalized four times this year, she reported. “At the same time, I came down with a very serious illness,” Mrs, Neal said, adding that she is currently under the care of three doctors. Since they can no longer handle the care of 37 acres, they want to sell 30 and retain seven, including the existing dwelling, she explained. The variance is necessary in order to adjust boundary lines—although technically the adjustment constitutes a division of land—so that the house sits on the seven acres the Neals plan to keep. Mrs. Neal maintained that strict application of the ordinance's restriction against division of property zoned residential subdivision would work a hardship on her and her husband, a hardship not generally shared by neighboring properties. She added that approval of the variance would not change the character of the area. “I think this is a far deeper legal question that the board is prepared to act on today,” Gardiner maintained. He asked if the Neals had signed an agreement not to further subdivide when they bought their property. Mrs. Neal answered that they hadn't signed any such agreement. She repeated that all they were seeking to do was to take a small portion of ■r ThC* ’30,vacre parcel and •* fearrangfc boundary lines so ^Iheir house k on the seven acre lot. A Setting A Precedent? BZA member George Muth suggested the BZA postpone its.7 decision until legal advice is secured. “We might be setting a precedent,” he warned. Mrs. Neal responded that > he’d gone over and over the ■ounty’s zoning ordinance to ensure that their proposal did not violate any local regulations and asked the BZA members to show her in the ordinance why they couldn’t grant her variance request. Patty Alexander pointed out the blanket prohibition in article 1-6 against division of any lot zoned residential or residential subdivision. Mrs. Neal offered to provide letters from doctors detailing her and her husband’s medical condition, repeating that neither is physically able to work the entire 37 acres. “This is a hardship case...I’m not putting on." she emphasized. Gardiner replied that the BZA must have legal advice from commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner before acting. “You’ll feel better and we’ll feel better,” Muth assured Mrs. Neal. “I can’t say anything more.” Mrs. Neal replied, shaking her head. “You all are the bosses.” We’ll try to be as fair as possible,” Gardiner assured her. “But we do want a legal opinion.” Mrs. Neal pointed out that she and her husband had followed proper procedure, coming before the BZA for approval as specified in the Rappahannock Neuie Rappahannock & Adioining Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $8 50 Outside the li S per year $7 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE f (New ( (Renewal ( (Check Enclosed .

This notice is being published in the Rappahannock News, a newspaper having general circulation in the County of Rappahannock, Virginia, for two (2) successive weeks as required by the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. Alternative plans as to the reapportionment of magisterial districts are filed in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Oourt of Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County By: Diane Bruce, Clerk zoning ordinance. “We didn’t come later after we do things like many of them do.” In between considerations of the two variance requests, planning commissioner Newbill Miller asked to address the board on the subject of variances, emphasizing, however, that he wasn't speaking of “any particular case.” Problems With Atkins Lot “There are some problems I see with the last lot you created,” said Miller in reference to the action on Mrs. Atkins' request. "Will it perc?” he asked, referring to the lot’s suitability for sewage disposal in a septic drainfield. “How long will the man live?” Miller questioned, noting that in an earlier case of medical hardship, the individual died before the action approved in the variance could be carried through. He pointed out that in granting a hardship variance, the BZA must comply with specific criteria set out in section 16-2-2 of the zoning ordinance. The ordinance specifies that a variance may be granted “when a property owner can show that his property was acquired in good faith and where by reason of the exceptional narrowness, shallowness, size or shape of a specific piece of property at the time of the effective date of the ordinance, or where by reasons of exceptional topographic conditions or other extra ordinary situation or condition of such property.. .strick application of the terms of the ordinance would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property or where the board is satisfied, upon the evidence heard by it, that the granting of such variance will alleviate a clearly demonstrable hardship approaching confiscation as distinguished from a special privilege or convenience sought by the applicant...” In addition, the ordinance specifies that "no such variance shall be authorized by the board unless it finds: (a) that the strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship; (b) that such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district, and the same vicinity; and (c) that the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance.” Very Few Possible Miller pointed out that in granting a variance, the BZA must first comply with all of the criteria set out in Article 16-2-2. If the criteria are met, "you can see there are very few cases where you can grant a variance,” he said. If the BZA allows the county to be subdivided by variance," we’ll start having tremendous problems,” Miller warned. If financial hardship becomes the rule for granting a variance “then every developer ’ in the country could qualify,” he added. In granting a variance. Admiral Gardiner maintained, the BZA has always specified either by inference or construction,” that the applicant must comply with all zoning ordinance regulations. It’s the health department’s responsibility to ensure that Mrs. Atkins’ oneacre lot is suitable for septic drainfield before building is allowed on the property, the BZA chairman insisted. Once a lot is created, it’s “probably going to be built on whether it percs or not,” Miller countered, adding that the state’s sewer regulations are being made less stringent rather than more stringent. After votes to table the Neal’s application and the meeting to adjourn, the Rappahannock News reporter asked the BZA chairman for an explanation of the difference between the two variance requests—why one was granted and the second tabled pending legal advice. “If you want me to bar you from the next meeting. I’ll be glad to do it!” Gardiner replied. With no answer forthcoming as to why the BZA treated the two variance requests differently, the reporter exited from the upstairs courtroom, leaving the BZA members, court stenographer and BZA secretary at the meeting table and ain applicant for a special use "pfermiV still in the audience.

Land Use Deadline • November 1 This is a notice and reminder that in order to be eligible for land use taxation for 1982 all applications must be filed with the Commissioner of Revenue prior to November 1, 1981. This applies to all members of Agricultural and Forestal Districts as well as other landowners interested in land use taxation. Attention is hereby called to the fact that the processing procedure can be time consuming, that a low percentage of applications have actually been finalized and if the number of applications remaining to be processed is too great by the end of October, it could result in some applicants being too late to be eligible. It should also be noted that delinquent taxes prevent land use eligibility.

Norman asked for a better definition of the areas to be mowed. Discussion of the trash pickup contract led the council into discussion of the problem of the townspeople abusing the local trash receptacles. Brad Fisher suggested that the town remove half of the receptacles to make town trash containers less accessible to those people who used them to dump their household trash. After a brief discussion of this problem, the council voted to accept Norman’s bid effective the first of October, with the first payment to be made in November. A stipulation of Norman’s bid was that all trash be put in plastic bags. After accepting the bid, the council voted to make this a condition of trash pick up.

It’s a tough decision to make, especially this year, on when and how to market your cattle to your best advantage. Not enough feeder calves have been sold through Virginia state graded feeder sales to establish a market. This week there will be 10,000 to 11,000 yearlings sold and the week of September 25 will see approximately 8,000 feeder calves auctioned through the special sales.

Worden Robinson Fills Old Mill With Pottery Rappah Th By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappatunnnrk Nrw» Staff WHlrr Nethers Mill has stood abandoned for generations, its corners stacked with spider webs instead of the bags of wheat and com that once waited to be ground into flour and meal. Though the water wheel hasn’t made a turn since it squeaked to a halt so many years ago, today the shelves in the old mill are full again, this time with vases, urns, bowls and other utilitarian pieces of art created by potter Worden Robinson. Robinson moved to the banks of the Hughes River under the shadow of Old Rag Mountain about five years ago, another refugee displaced by the high cost of city living that takes its toll on pocket books and nervous systems. Since he and his wife and children settled near the Rappahannock-Madison line, they’ve “gQne country.” Worden now divides his energy between pottery and the related business interests he brought out from Capitol Hill plus the vegetable garden, goats, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, cats and dogs that the family has acquired since their exodous from D. C. Try for a visual image of a potter and what pops up is usually female—an artistic, back-to-the-earth (’cause the medium is clay) type. Think potter and the face that doesn’t come immediately to mind is Worden Robinson's. Remember the curly haired little imp with the angelic voice, rosy cheeks and twinkle in his eye who always showed up late in the choir loft, a rip and a mud splotch on his robes from a quick game of ball in the parking lot before church? Robinson is that little boy grown up. And even though he’s a master at the potter’s wheel, he’s not overly impressed with his talents. He obviously loves his work but it is work, not some mystical exercise in creating form out of mud. When he discusses what he does, the conversation gets highly technical and very matter-of-fact. He could just as easily be talking about rebuilding a car engine. Worden Robinson never intended to be a craftsman. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t look or sound the part. "I slipped into pottery while I was doing graduate work in industrial design at Syracuse,” he explained. Robinson had ruled out a future as art industrial designer and was ready to leave the university until one of his professors argued him into staying and finding another field of study. “You’re the kind of guy who gives Syracuse a bad name!” was the response Worden got from the professor when he announced his plans to drop out. “I told him that 1 didn’t have any money and he said not to worry about that. I looked around and pottery seemed like fun so I tried that.” Invented Energy Saving Kiln He ended up with a shop in Georgetown as an outlet for his work. “I had a fantastic time but it wasn’t paying off so 1 started giving classes. I needed a small kiln and thought I was really lucky when I was offered a great deal on three electric models. Then Pepco said it would cost $700 just to install them and on top of that, informed me I could expect electrical bills of $200 to $300 per month. There goes your class profits!” With the electric bill threat sparking Robinson's creative talents, another invention was born of old mother necessity. Rather than allow the utility company to gobble up the tuition fees, he designed and developed a gas fired kiln, patent number 3,752,643, intending to use the model primarily for his own classes. But rising costs of energy put other potters in the same financial squeeze and so he found himself with almost as many buyers for his $1.50 per firing kilns as he had for his vases and bowls. Gas fired pottery kilns became a money-making mainstay as Robinson began MAYTAG ' EVERY MAYTAG WASHER.

He kept his fingers in clay, however, through teaching classes in pottery for the Smithsonian Institute. When approached initially by that prestigious institution, Robinson recalled that his first reaction was to say no because the financial returns from teaching didn’t justify the hassles, particularly when compared with the profits from the kilns. “But they stroked my ego and then stroked it some more until I couldn’t resist. I set some ridiculous price for my services and they agreed!” There Went The Neighborhood Robinson might have remained in D. C., teaching at the Smithsonian and making kilns and a few pottery pieces at his Georgetown shop if the D. C. government and his landlord had been more cooperative. When he opened his business there, Georgetown hadn’t yet become a fashionable address. But as the in-crowd discovered the neighborhood, prices skyrocketed. “My rent went from $300 to $1,000 in one month!” reported Robinson, still outraged at the 333 percent hike. “And industry is not one of the things that the D. C. government supports. They really try to make it difficult,” he reported. According to Robinson, local bureaucrats plagued him with requirement after requirement and form after form for keeping sales tax records, all for a ridiculously insignificant amount of money. “They even sent some guys down from the Labor Relations Board. They were mean looking, scarey, with three piece polyester suits. They looked like Mafia. They started reading me the riot act about this long list of regulations covering employees. I finally told them I didn’t have any employees. They just said “Oh?” and left.” The attitude of city government coupled with the steep rent increase combined to make Robinson decide that Georgetown was no place for a craftsman. “I was the last on Capitol Hill.

An artist can’t afford to function in that town.” Deciding to move was easy. Finding a place was a little more difficult. “We were constantly on the search for poor areas,” Robinson recalled. “Then one day my wife saw an ad in the paper for this place. We made an offer and the real estate agents said it was the most ridiculous offer that they’d ever heard. But four hours later, they called back and we signed the contract.” Builneu Center It’s a move he hasn’t regretted.

The original prototype of the design squats in a corner, still going strong after ten years in service. Worden has expanded his pottery related enterprises to include the manufacture of potters’ wheels. In addition, he orders “raw” clay from mines north of Baltimore, dry blends it, soaks it with water in an old bathtub and then shovels the mixture into a special clay making machine that squirts the finished product out in blocks to be bagged, boxed and mailed to client potters. He’s resumed his pottery classes as well. “I’ve had good sets of students.” he said, adding that he’d been concerned at first over the sort of person he’d attract out here in the boondocks. “The emphasis in my classes is a little different.

County Farmer In addition to clay, Robinson has plain old dirt underneath his fingernails since moving to the country. He’s taken to farming with a vengeance, planting a huge garden and tending a barnyard full of livestock. He raised goats until his wife and kids’ revolt at the idea of eating goat meat ended that experiment. “I gave up on cows too. They're the most appalling meat production system in the world!” he maintained. According to Robinson, when he took goats to the slaughter house, he came back with a station wagon stuffed to the windows with meat but when the cows went to market, the meat brought back home could have fit into the clove compartment. Currently, in addition to the ducks, geese and chickens that share the yard with the family pets, he concentrates on raising hogs and has found a market among his friends and neighbors for all the hams cured without nitrate that he can produce. His more recently discovered agricultural interests compete with Robinson’s pottery business. Once again spending time at the wheel creating his own pieces, Worden uses Nethers Mill as an outlet for his work. “But I have a problem. When I’m over with the pigs, chickens and garden on the other side of the property, there's no way I can hear when a customer arrives!” He doesn’t seem very bothered, though, about the low volume of pottery sales. While Robinson makes the rounds of craft fairs with his kilns and potters' wheels, he never takes any pottery along on the circuit. The bases and bowls he painstakingly molds into being from lumps of clay are too precious to put out on a table for strangers to paw and criticize. "It would be like trying to sell your own wife,” he concluded. Theater Workshop Offered An introductory theater workshop' session under the auspices of The Rappahannock Players, conducted by Margo Figgins, will be held in The Country Playhouse, at Wakefield School, on Saturday, September 19th at 7:30 p.m. There is no charge for the session which is open to all students and adults in terested in theatre arts.

But you can make this profit tax basis as small as feasible by adding legitimate expenses to the original cost and deducting expenses from the sale price. You can add any buying costs, such as: title search, title insurance, lawyer's fee, appraisal fee, recording fees, property survey, credit report, bank lawyer’s fee, processing charges and any "points" you may have had to pay. If you made any capital improvements - finished attic or basement, new kitchen, added porch. patio or swimming pool you can add the cost of these to the original price. You can deduct your selling cost from the price you received: Realtor’s commission, lawyer's fees, advertising costs and fixup expenses if they were made within 90 days prior to the sale.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1981 More Mistakes The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals gave a classic example at last Thursday’s meeting of why it is the arm of county government most frequently sued. This is the same group that gave us the legal tangle over P.E. Steve DeMent’s Sperryville antique store addition, court cases on the ski area, suits over the Pentacostal campground and most recently a challenged special use permit for a body shop in the old Sperryville co-op. Last week, the BZA members took two variance requests where both applicants cited the same basis for hardship and approved one while tabling the other pending legal advice. In the first instance, the BZA members unanimously authorized subdivision of a two $cre lot into two, one acre lots at the request of a woman who has a terminally ill spouse and . finds their current home unsuited for care of an invalid. She plans to sell the house on its one acre lot and build another on the remaining one acre. Accqrding to the BZA chairman, her case definitely constitute? a hardship. In the second instance, a couple's request for a variance to subdivide 37 acres into a seven acre lot and a 30 acre lot was tabled pending legal advice. They cited the same medical hardship only in this case the medical hardship applies to both husband and wife and in essence their application involves a boundary adjustment rather than a subdivision because they purchased the land in two parcels, one 30 acres and one seven acres. Since illness prevents them from maintaining the entire tract properly, they wanted to move the boundary line so they could sell 30 undeveloped acres and keep seven acres with a house. The house currently sits on the original 30 acre parcel. Not only was the BZA inconsistent in granting the first hardship variance and tabling the second; financial hardship due to personal illness doesn’t qualify as hardship under the terms of the county’s zoning ordinance. In addition, the BZA failed to make findings of fact in accord with criteria for hardship spelled out in the ordinance. Finally, the approval of a subdivision constitutes a legislative function and falls outside the provice of the board of zoning appeals. In other counties, the BZA works closely with the zoning official whose responsibility it is to administer local land use regulations. In Rappahannock, animosity on both sides has kept the zoning administrator from even attending BZA meetings, • eliminating one source of legal advice. , The BZA chairman’s frequently , aired ill feelings and suspicions toward lawyers has also limited the value of legal advice from attorneys. ] If the BZA members continue to ( balk at getting — and following — , counsel from those more familiar with 1 the legalities of zoning regulations, it is absolutely imperative that they < themselves become familiar with | Rappahannock's ordinances. Legal advertisements for their meetings 1 explain exactly what variance requests and special use permit applications will be coming up at the next session and the specific section of the ordinance involved in each case. With at least two weeks advance notice of the agenda, the BZA members have more than enough time to learn the facts and issues related to every application. To protect the integrity of Rappahannock’s ordinances and the pocketbooks of taxpayers who must foot the bills for expensive legal battles, it is imperative that they do so. Approves Used Car Lots (Continued from Page 1) their doors, and when they can leave the county. "It seems mighty odd that they have all these complaints about us.” she said, directing her remarks to Luke. "We don't complain about their farming operation,” said Mrs. Settle, adding that neither did they tell the Parrish’s son-in-law who operates a furniture building business on adjoining property what kind of furniture and how many pieces he could make. “We pay taxes. In fact, we foot part of the farmers' bill." Mrs. Settle continued. She noted that the Parrishes qualify for tax breaks with land use taxation. “We're poor people—we can’t!" She objected to what she described as "a few rich people telling some» poor people what they can and can not do..."For years I worked (or $1 an hour for Mrs. Parrish. I pulled her weeds and cleaned her house. I thought she was a good friend until this started." Hushel Settle noted that both he and Parrishes have sons who will be taking over their garage and farming operations at some point in the future. This younger generation is going to have to resolve the controversy between the two families, he added. In the meantime. Parrish must accept the fact that "we're going to be here." Settle said. Admiral Gardiner noted that the possibility for automobile graveyards is one of the problems involved with a used car business in this area. He noted that the county's zoning ordinance prohibits automobile graveyards. (Auto graveyards are defined as “any lot or place which is exposed to the weather upon which two or more motor vehicles of any kind, incapable of bfcing operated and which it would not be economically practical to make operatable, are located or found.”) Settle replied that when he finishes removing parts from a wrecked vehicle, he hauls it away. According to Gardiner, the gist of the Parrish's concerns is fear that Settle's lot will k turn into an auto graveyard. He emphasized, however, that the zoning ordinance prohibits such accumulations of wrecked cars. "There are quite a few around." interjected Doris Settle. Enforcement of the zoning ordinance is not the BZA’s job. Gardiner responded. “It ought to be somebody's!” countered Settle. “It’s the commonwealth's attorney’s and the sheriff’s job.” Gardiner maintained. Before calling for a vote on the permit application, the chairman asked if the board members wanted to add any restrictions. Muth suggested that the permit emphasize Settle's operation is to involve only one acre. Gardiner asked if any other restrictions should be included. In reply, the board voted unanimously to grant the special use permit, subject to provisions of the zoning ordinance. “I hope me and Mr. Parrish can get along. I do not hold madness.” Settle concluded. Another Lot Okayed Jerry Mills’ request for a special use permit to run a used car lot in a commercial zone was likewise given unanimous approval. "Do you want Mrs. Settle to come up and be your lawyer?" Gardiner asked the applicant. “I’ll vouch for him 100 percent." responded Doris Settle from the back row of the court house. “He's a young man trying to make a living just like the rest of us'.” she said of Mills whose garage is located on the same road two miles away from her husband’s business. Mills told the BZA that his commercially zoned garage lot and inspection station is adjacent to his father’s grocery store. Like Settle, Mills had operated a garage for several- years without meeting zoning ordinance requirements. He applied for a commercial rezofling last year in order to obtain a vehicle inspection license from the state. Mills described his commercial zoning as an extension of the existing commercial zone on his father’s store. (When the rezoning was granted by the supervisors, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner explained that approval * would constitute extension of a nonconforming commercial use in an agricultural zone since the grocery store had never been actually zoned commercial.) Is Mills' application the sajne as Settle's case? asked Admiral Gardiner. BZA secretary Patty Alexander answered that Mills wasn't limited to having only five cars for sale at any one time since his property is zoned commercial, not agricultural. “It’s up to you to limit him to whatever you want.” In response to a question on lot size from the BZA chairman. Mills said the portion where he plans to park his used cars is about the size of the court house. “How many cars will you have?” asked James Massie. "Somewhere around 12,” Mills replied. “You have room for 12?” Gardiner inquired. "Yes, but no room for more than 12,'* said Mills, adding that if he had more than 12 vehicles, he’d have to park them “it my garage or something.” He noted that the commercially zoned land plus the store lot amount to approximately one acre. The BZA chairman noted that the ordinance prohibits accumulation of more than two inoperable vehicles. “There’s no problem in getting rid of the others,” Mills said, adding that he handled only small cars such as Volkswagens and Toyotas. Gardiner asked Mrs. Settle if she thought Mills would be competition. "Everybody's got to make a living,” she replied, adding that customers are attracted by good service and reasonable prices. “We’re not like the Parrishes, telling him what to do,*” she concluded. With no further speakers either for or against, the board voted unanimously to grant Mills’ request for a special use permit to operate a used car lot. — Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

Letters To The Editor Candidate Durrette Defended This is a reprint of last veek's letter which inad'ertently had a portion emitted. fo the editor: On behalf of Wyatt )urrette, 1 would like to orrect a number of listortions and deliberate nisrepresentations of fact nade by the Democrat :andidate for Attorney jener'al on his recent visit to Washington as reported in he August 6, 1981 edition, father than emphasizing his >wn ideas and qualifications ■or the office he seeks, Mr. Baliles chose to punctuate his -emarks with negative allegations about Wyatt Durrette’s record. How jnfortunate that these allegations were not verified before they were printed. Baliles alleged, for . example, that Wyatt Durrette had opposed legislation which established a program to compensate innocent victims of crime. The fact of the matter Is that Wyatt Durrette not only chaired the commission which studied the proposal and recommended the legislation establishing such a program, Wyatt Durrette was the sponsor of the bill in the House of Delegates. His bill provided for an appropriation of funds with which to put the program into effect. Durrette voted against an alternate proposal which had no provision for appropriating funds to compensate victims of crime. Equally misleading is Baliles’ allegations that Durrett^has vacillated on the abortion issue. He charges that Wyatt Durrette once sponsored "sweeping liberal reforms” of abortion law. The truth is that Durrette has consistently opposed abortion, and that after the 1973 United States Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, Durrette sponsored legislation to. restrict the incidence and availability of abortions to the maximum extent permitted under the Supreme Court decision. The “sweeping liberal reform” of which Baliles spoke was required by that decision, whereas public funding of abortions has never been required. How interesting it is that Mr. Baliles conveniently forgot to mention the fact that in addition to supporting legalized abortion. Baliles voted for public funding of abortion daring his term in the legislature! The allegation that Wyatt Durrette has ever opposed capital punishment is another absolute distortion of fact. After Virginia’s capital punishment statutes were held to be unconstitutional bv the U.S. Supreme Court, Wyatt Durrette supported the legislation which successfully reinstated the death penalty within the parameters of the Supreme Court decision. His only negative vote on the subject was against a bill based upon his belief that the proposed legislation would not pass constitutional muster. Durrette’s good judgment was later confirmed when the bill he voted against was ruled unconstitutional. Not only has DOrrette consistently supported capital punishment in Virginia, it was Wyatt Durrette who proposed the amendment to the present statute which added the killing of a low enforcement officer as a crime for which the death penalty could be imposed. Wyatt Durrette is proud of his record. His campaign is a positive one in which he has abstained from the type of false and misleading attacks on his opponent in which Mr. Baliles apparently feels compelled to engage. Although Baliles knows these innuendos are deceptive and untrue, he has repeatedly made them during numerous appearances all over the State. In making their choice for Attorney General, voters • should ask themselves what kind of person they want to fill that important office. Those of us who support Wyatt Durrette do so not only because we agree with him on most of the issues, but more especially because we respect his integrity and character. Thank you for helping to set the record straight by printing this letter. DAVID L. KONICK More Letters Needed To the editor: "We need more letters to Governor Dalton about State allocations for emergency medical services,” advises Paul Poling. He is a member of the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council to the Governor. He urges us to send a letter or a postcard to Governor Dalton, Commonwealth of Virginia, Governor’s Office, State Capitol, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Federal funds are ended. The Department of Highway and Transportation Safety funds for rescue squad equipment are no longer available. At this time, even Virginia's Rescue Squad Assistance Fund is endangered. Time is running out for our recommendations to the Governor. The State Budget is being finalized and our letters must be in by October I. The future pattern of State support for rescue squads is being formed right now. Captains and members of rescue squads could write about funds needed to keep their ambulances and equipment in top running order. Supplies and improved equipment are also expensive. Letters from emergency room doctors and nurses would be most helpful. They know the importance of communicating with rescue squad members at the scene. As soon as they receive initial findings, they can difect specialized medical care when necessary at the scene. Any changes in a victim’s condition can be monitored on the way to the hospital. More and better communication equipments are needed to make this service available to every victim. People who have benefited from courses taught by volunteer instructors could let the Governor know how much these courses have meant to them. Knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do while, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Anyone who has been a victim of an Occident or a sudden illness and was assisted by their local rescue squad can easily express his or her appreciation in a note to the Governor. Most of all, letters from people whose lives were saved by prompt emergency medical services would indeed be impressive. We all stay so busy and forget that suddenly any one of us can become a victim. We may never know for sure, but a letter with an 18-cent stamp could help save a life, perhaps our own. DOROTHY SKELTON —h + + Failing to keep the family coffee pot filled was grounds for divorce under Turkish law in old Constantinople (now Istanbul), National Geographic says. Student Transfers Prompt Board Study vvviiiiiiucu irum rdgc it very organized.” Assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik was equally as complimentary about what he saw at the high school. He noted the “healthy attitude and atmosphere between students and faculty” and the efficient manner in which teachers took control once class bells rang. Lysik also praised the tone set by principal Dennis Wingfield in the all-school assembly at which student responsibilities and behavior standards were emphasized. Chairman Beverly Massie agreed that school opening had gone “remarkably smoothly,” noting that it was one of the few years when she received no calls of complaint. She expressed her thanks for a job well done*to teachers, administrators and other staff members. "I don’t know if Mr. Huff [transportation supervisor Allie Huff) is the one to be congratulated but the buses looked like new,” interjected Eastham. "Mr. Huff has always done an outstanding jpb of maintenance.” board member Newbill Miller agreed. Transportation Policy Lysik reported that he and Estabrook had drawn up a document outlining such transportation related areas as schedules, safety, discipline, emergency procedures and general administration as a first step toward formulating a transportation policy manual. The information was presented to bus drivers at a meeting on August 25. “It was well received. The drivers are adhering to what we’re recummenuing, uysi* saiu. "This is grand,” responded Reeve. Eastham pointed out that certain state requirements have not been met in the past, including first aid training for drivers and bus evacuation drills. Estabrook replied that attention will be given to all transportation requirements spelled out in school board law. In addition to meeting with drivers, the superintendent reported that he's .instituted regular sessions with teachers as well. The faculty chose two representatives from the elementary school—Mollie Hobson and Patty Hottenger—and two from the high school—Don Bomberger and Brion Patterson—to meet with Estabrook on a monthly basis for discussion of mutual concerns, "theirs and mine,” the superintendent said. Bomberger described the meetings as a very useful tool which will provide a good method of improving communications and reviewing both faculty and administration concerns. Custom In-Service Estabrook said he’s also begun work on developing an in-service training program designed specifically to meet the needs of Rappahannock’s teachers. As a first step, he asked each individual teacher to set his or her most pressing needs for in-service programs in priority order. He then requested the teachers to meet in groups, by grade levels at the elementary school and departments at tye high school, to establish group needs. Next Estabrook plans 10 nave me sian at eacn school determine priorities for in-service by building. The lists compiled by .the teachers, coupled with standardized test scores, minimum competency results, grades and other data- will be examined in arriving at a custom tailored as opposed to prepackaged in-service program for Rappahannock, according to Estabrook. Gaa Accountability As an alternative to his continuing to pump gas for school vehicles, Estabrook presented the school board detailed forms designed to provide accountability for gas consumption for review. Sheets for buses include information on gas consumption at each fill-up, name of person dispensing gas, oil used, odometer reading and remarks—if any—from the driver. Information required on trip sheets for automobiles covers (on a daily basis) destination and purpose of each trip, odometer reading, mileage and driver's signature. Estabrook noted that he had not yet discussed the proposed record keeping system for the buses with transportation supervisor Allie Huff. “I wanted to get a response from the board first,” he said, adding that he checked with surrounding school divisions and adapted his proposal primarily from Madison’s system. “Aside from keeping track of gas, any record keeping system (for buses) should be acceptable to Mr. Huff,” Newbill Miller maintained. Eastham suggested that different forms be used for cars and buses since data on buses is much easier to I standardize. 1 want to ensure (1) that gas and oil is used for public purposes only and (2) that the cars are used only for school business.” He maintained this couldn’t be achieved without controls on who dispenses gasoline. Board member Nelson Lane said he liked the forms designed by Estabrook as well as the proposed system of record keeping. “1 don’t want to give the superintendent negative feedback," the Stonewall representative emphasized. Reeve agreed with Miller: that any record keeping system adopted for the buses should be meaningful to Huff. ' Hoff Not Responsible ‘‘Mr. Huff is not responsible for the accounting for public money. It is the responsibility of this board,” insisted Eastham, his voice rising. “I hate paperwork but we can't say whatever is okay with Mr. Huff is okay with this board...I want to be clear that Mr. Huff doesn't dictate this’.” Reeve tried to explain that Eastham was misinterpreting her remarks and assured him that she endorses some type of accounting system for school automobiles in addition to gas consumption records for buses. The School board supports use of a travelogue for school cars, chairman Beverly Massie noted. “Also some type of accounting accounting for the buses but we need to check with Mr. Huff on what he thinks would be useful.” “1 believe a maintenance schedule on each bus would accomplish what several of these torms attempt to do, said Miller, adding that Huff may already keep such schedules. “A maintenance schedule would also be helpful if we ever had an accident. It would show that the bus had been properly maintained.” The superintendent agreed to meet with Huff and bring recommendations back to the board on transportation records. Addressing the gifted and talented program, Estabrook reported “unfortunate views” circulating around the county that only youngsters in grades 3-7 will be served. He said he'd asked G&T teacher Laurie Marshall to develop a general plan on how to deal with talented youngsters, including everything, from how to identify those who qualify as talented to an actual program to evaluation of its effectiveness. In order to provide "a place to start,” he suggested she begin with grades 3-7. Estabrook emphasized, however, that the final program will include kindergartners through seniors in high school in accord with state mandates. Estabrook noted that he is attacking development of a program for gifted students and asked the board to appoint a G&T advisory committee at its next meeting. Wiring Repaired Earlier this year after an electrical charge blew out the high school computer, the school board directed an investigation of the high school’s whine. Estabrook said last week that all outlets in the building are now three wire outlets which conform to (Continued on Page 10)

Frank Atkins’ Garden Is No Small Potatoes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N«n Suff Writer There won’t be a potato famine in Rappahannock County this season. The drought may have shirveled tomatoes, stunted corn and scorched hay crops but weather conditions were just about perfect for spuds judging from the harvest dug up by local gardeners from Amissville to the F. T. Valley. While everyone’s crop was better than average, Frank Atkins has one for the record books from his garden plot in Old Hollow. He bought 50 pounds of Kenneybeck seed potatoes, gave some to his son and put the rest in the ground in March, planting by the moon signs as directed in the Hagerstown Almanac. This month, he dug 30 bushels. With a bushel holding about 60 pounds, that gives Atkins an incredible 30-fold-plus yield on his harvest. “A ten fold yield is considered excellent in a commercial gardening enterprise." extension agent Rap Owings reported. “A lot of people don’t Recipes Make Use of Bumper Crop Nature's Foods in Washington had a maincourse potato dish last week called Solyanka.

Drain them and save the liquid. Mash well, add the water they were boiled in and more liquid if necessary. Add salt and pepper to taste. Next, brown two to two and a half tablespoons of flour in two and a half tablespoons butter, stirring constantly. Add the browned mixture to the potatoes and water and stir while boiling two or three minutes. Cut a large chunk of longhorn or mild cheddar cheese into small enough pieces to fill a big soup bowl one-third full. Cover the cheese with the potato mixture, dice a quarter slice of onion on top of each serving and sprinkle a few drops of vinegar over all. First Sermon Rev.

He doesn’t blame the doubting Thomases. He was as surprised as anyone else when spud after spud was turned over in the rich, wellworked soil. At 83 years of age, the Rappahannock native has a wealth of gardening experience behind him but he’s never had a success story like this year’s potato crop. His next best harvest—42 bushels for 100 pounds of seed potatoes—pales by comparison. After first fertilizing the ground, Atkins planted his Kenneybecks 16 inches apart with 32 inches between the rows, allowing plenty of room to get his tiller through.

CCC Reunion In Luray The 48th anniversary and reunion of the U. S. Civilian Corps is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27 at the Mimslyn Hotel in Luray. A memorial service will be held Sunday in the National Park Service auditorium at Big Meadows on Skyline Drive. Camps of the CCC established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his first administration were located in various points in the Shenandoah National Park, and elsewhere in the nation. The CCC in association with the Park Service and the U. S. Army was largely responsible for constructing Skyline Drive. The first CCC camp was located in Edinburg and called Camp Roosevelt. Millions of young men, and some women, enlisted in the Civilian Conservation Corps, a noteworthy program engaging the energies and talents of young Americans, providing jobs, education, health services and recreation to the disadvantaged who were unemployed during the depression of the 30’s.

"I’ve seen pictures of it. Imagine a huge jungle of rubber trees. It has sheds for buildings, big tanks for processing the rubber. It’s very rough.” The rubber harvested from the Lagman’s plantation is processed and sold to major international companies, such as Good Year and Addidas. But the trade doesn’t bring Victor any special deals on tennis shoes. in the Philippines, however, Addidas tennis shoes and other trendy fashions that shout “preppy” as loudly as a public address system don’t carry the same prestigious price tags as in U.S. department stores. According to reports at home, Rappahannock youngsters who have to settle for tigers and bears instead of alligators were awed by the wardrobe of designer jeans and Izod shirts sported by the new exchange student. On the first day of school, one prankster follqwed Victor down the hall, poking at his backside. After a minute or two, the embarassed newcomer figured it was his designer jean label drawing all the attention. “I didn’t buy Izod shirts to impress anyone here. The kids in my school started wearing them three or four years ago. At first it was a fad but now Izods are just another shirt,” Victor explained, adding that part of his collection is hand-medowns from his older brothers anyway. But even brand new, alligators in the Philippines run a lot cheaper than they do in the U.S. “You can buy them for SS, the ones made in Hong Kong or France. The ones from the U.S. are a lot more expensive,” Victor reported. Higher prices not withstanding, Victor has a love affair going with his adopted country. “I don’t like it. I love it!” he announced with enthusiasm. “When we picked him up at the airport and a couple of times since, he's had this blank stare on his face.” Pat said. "I asked him if we was all right. ‘I’m really in America! I’m really here!’ was his answer. It makes you feel good to hear somebody say that.” "I'm living and feeling each day, each second,” Victor added, his face lighting up with its habitual smile. “Oh Victor, you’re sooo deep,” Debby Helmer teased, barely suppressing a giggle. In addition to the dairy in which he records the minute details of his stay in America, Victor is amassing a unique collection of things American. Asked if reports were true about his saving every wrapper, every straw and every napkin as momehtos of his first visit to McDonalds, Victor's olive toned skin blushed a bright red as he nodded his head in embarrassment. “I thought it was precious!” Pat Helmer grinned.

Did he like the Twinkie? "Yea, I guess,” answered Victor, enthusiasm noticeably missing from his voice. “He liked them all right,” Debby added. “He must have because he ate six!” According to reports from his classmates, Victor’s passion for American junk food is all consuming. “We have to drag him out of stores with chocolate bars,” Pat acknowledged. But along with the junk, Victor has developed a taste Victor’s Famous Recipe Back home in the Philippines, Victor’s quite a whiz around the kitchen, thanks to a mother who believes in teaching her sons to be self-sufficient. He’s delighted the Helmers with his culinary creations and agreed to share a favorite recipe with the Rappahannock News. Adobo 1 lb. pork or chicken cut into one-inch cubes (small chicken parts, such as wings or thigs may also be used) V* cup vinegar 3 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon pepper. 1 tablespoon salt Soak the meat in a mixture of the vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt and soy sauce for at least 30 minutes. Bring to the boiling point and simmer over low heat until the meat is tender and browned in its own fat, usually about 30 to 45 minutes. for Rappahannock's most famous trademark. During a picking foray in a Red Oak Mountain orchard, he devoured eight apples in less than a half hour. “I'm not kidding," he boasted. “It must be a new world’s record!" Now that he's crossed the top two off his list, he’s added a couple of new priorities behind that New York trip. "I want to go to a real American party and 1 want to see all my foster brothers and sisters who visited us in the Philippines,” Victor said. In the meantime, he’s tied up in his junior year at Rappahannock County High School, taking English, geometry, chemistry, U. S. history, physical education and chorus. His friendly, outgoing personality has won instant acceptance from his peers as evidenced by his election as homeroom representative to the student council and vice-president of the local Explorers Gub. He's also playing on the Rappahannock soccer contingent sponsored by Nature’s Foods in competition in Warrenton’s fall league and hopes to win a place on the RCHS track team as a sprinter in the spring. Victor has found only a couple of things about Rappahannock that he’s not enchanted with. When he first arrived at the Helmer’s, he was overjoyed to find a pool in the back yard where he could swim everyday. “But the water is too cold!” he wailed. “It was 72 degrees. That’s warm," Wendy corrected. “It was ice,’’ argued Victor. “No, it was comfortable!” his adopted sister insisted in one of those back and forth exchanges so typical of sibling relationships. “He called his mother and told her it was freezing here and the thermometer read 70 degrees,” said Pat, shaking her head over the prospect of their visitor, facing a Rappahannock winter after the Philippine's tropical climate and lows of 50 degrees. Beside the weather, the fast pace of life in America frustrated Victor, according to his foster mother. “I talk fast, the kids talk fast, we’re always in a rush to be on time. He just wasn’t used to it,” Pat explained. "He misses the siestas. He’s always sleeping,” confided Wendy. “Yea, being on time is hard. Back in the Philippines, if you’re just 30 minutes or an hour late for a party, you’d be 9 starl” Victor concluded. anHMHtMauMMcwcewtvw I —Rappahannock NmPlioto/T.

Foot Facts by Or. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot specialist Quite often I am asked about the new "mini” incision surgery for bunions and other foot deformities. This is a technique that was developed in the last few years that does have some definite merit. It consists of an incision about one half inch in length that is used as a window to correct the underlying boney problems. A special type of instrument is inserted into the wound and the changes are produced through this window. There are a fair number of indications for this type of Surgery. It TS important to understand that there is a ' significant pdrtion of problems that cannot be repaired in this manner, because the structures have to be visualized for change. If the mini-procedure can be performed there is usually less discomfort, less swelling, and the patient is able to return to shoes more quickly. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Bruce I. Vogel, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.S.

Where Did All The Farmland Go? The Cities Plowed It Under By SUSAN LOTH Contributing Writrr WASHINGTON—“It was my granddad’s farm, and my great-granddad’s before that. You want to see the old family farm? Go look at the shopping center and the townhouse projects around it. In the middle you’ll find what's left: I guess Mother has around five acres." Wallace Covington Jr. still lives and works in Fairfax County, Va., but the 200 acres where he raises cattle are in the county down the road—the road that takes him farther from Washington, D. C.’s urban sprawl. Elsewhere in Fairfax County, homesites are for sale at 823-acre Franklin Farm. The J. B. Franklins have sold their dairy farm, and . the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Association Inc. soon will lose one more nearby source. “Twenty years ago, there were 60 dairy farms in Fairfax,” said Robert H. Rawlins of the milk co-op. “Now we have five.” As a result, he noted, the co-op is trucking in milk from farms once thought too distant to be economical. Worriaome Losses This loss of farmland affects more than the Covington family tradition or the price of milk in Washington. It’s happening across the country, and it’s something to worry about, a federal study has warned. As the country builds up and out from its cities, farmland is disappearing at the rate of 3 million acres every year, according to the National Agricultural Lands Study (NALS) released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and other government agencies. The annual loss includes 1 The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS AUCTION Saturday, Sept. 19th, 10:00 A.M.

KttJt •IMlNCfON VIRGINIA JJ734 PMONI 4 39 1'4« million acres of prime farmland, with the richest, flattest soils that produce the best yields at the lowest cost. But prime farmland is also attractive for other uses. Each day, four square miles of America’s best farmland are covered over—by housing tracts, highways, airports, businesses, parking lots or man-made lakes, the NALS says. Put together, a year’s loss could form a corridor from New York to California half a mile wide. “I think the important thing Americans should be learning is that our good farmland in this country has a limit,” said Robert Gray, who directed the NALS project and now is with the American Farmland Trust. “We have 540 million acres of pretty good farmland out of a land base of 2.2 billion acres, and that 540 million acres is our ace in the hole.” Worldwide Impact The study recommends that the country add to the 413 million acres now in cropland, and it has identified 127 million acres of good potential cropland now mainly in forest, pasture, or rangeland. In fact, the NALS estimates that to keep up with expected world food demand by the year 2000, U. S. farmers may have to cultivate an extra 85 to 140 million acres. Already the yield of one in every three acres harvested is shipped overseas, giving agricultural exports—some $40 billion worth in 1980—a big role in the national balance of trade. In the meantime, the land losses continue. The NALS says that if farmland conversion continues at the 196777 rate, Florida—producer of half the world’s grapefruit and one-fourth the world’s oranges—will lose nearly all its important farmland by the end of the century. Another Sun Belt state, California, would lose 15 percent of its agricultural lands. Noting that citrus fruit, like many crops, depends on special micro-climates. Gray said, “If you lose those places you’re not going to grow oranges in Kansas.” Changing population patterns have increased the pressure on farmland. The nation has more, smaller families, and many of them are heading for a home in the country. “Over 40 percent of housing constructed during the 1970s was built in rural areas,” the study reported, adding that 12 million new households are expected in non-metropolitan areas between 1977 and 1995. As people move farther from city centers, they take up more space. Thomas J. Barlow of the Natural Resources Defense Council cited Minnesota’s Twin Cities metropolitan region: The first million residents occupied about 180 square miles of land, but the second IQXafts ,^1^ Festival Sept. 18,19, 20 FRI. noon 6pm • SAT. & SUN. 10am-6pm • 200 PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS & CRAFTSPEOPLE • DEMONSTRATIONS • FREE ELEPHANT RIDE • DELICIOUS FOODS • PUPPET SHOWS • LIVE BLUEGRASS& FOLK MUSIC DAILY Prince William Co.

Beltway. t A Sugarfoaf Mountain Works Production (301) 831-9191 4 million took up an additional 550 square miles. When the area gets its third million, probably by 1990, they’ll occupy an extra 1,600 square miles—almost 10 times as much land per capita as the first million. “The pattern applies to many cities," he said. City Meets Farm JThe arrival of new residents in rural areas can set off a chain of events. The need arises for government services such as sewer, water, police, and schools. So does the value of the land, and often so do taxes. That can be decisive: As Mrs. Franklin said, "We were just taxed out of Fairfax County." Other conflicts can arise, as Rawlins of the milk co-op noted. “People seeking the bucolic life and loveliness of the countryside will move right alongside a farm, and all of a sudden they’ll discover there are odors they never had in the city,” he said. Those people may file suit against the farmer or get local governments to restrict farming practices. As farms disappear from an area, so do farm equipment and supply stores. Remaining farmers may fall into what the agricultural lands study calls the “impermanence syndrome”: Seeing the approach of urbanization, they figure there’s no long-range future in their farms and they stop practicing soil conservation or making needed repairs. Uncle Sam shares in the blame for the loss of farmlands. it seems. The NALS named, about 90 federal programs “that contribute to the conversion of agricultural land." prime among them ones run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Farmers Home Administration, and the Economic Development Administration. The study found that only two federal agencies—the Environmental Protection Agency and the USDA—have policies to considef the effect of their programs on farmland. The study calls for a federal policy on agricultural lands, and says that the government shouldn’t help pay for development of good farmland but should offer incentives such as lower interest rates to encourage development elsewhere. “Right-to-Fann” Laws Yet the protection of farmland is largely up to states and local governments, the NALS adds. Some steps already have been taken. Forty-eight states—all but Georgia and Kansas—offer some form of property tax relief for farmers. Sixteen have adopted "right-to-farm” legislation that protects farmers from nuisance lawsuits and from local ordinances restricting normal farm practices. Other efforts to protect farmland include voluntary agricultural districts; agricultural zoning, adopted by Hawaii and 270 local governments; the purchase or. transfer of development rights on farmland; and comprehensive management plans. w (Dbituaries Alther Mrs. Alther, 65, wife of William Alfred Alther, died Sunday, September 13, 1981 at her residence.

ENTERED this 24th day of August, 1981. DIANE BRUCE, CLERK Rappahannock Circuit Court LEE W. ALBRECHT, ESQ. 19 Culpeper Street Warrenton, Virginia 22186 Counsel for the Complainant 202a27-sl7 Panther Tales By Richie Burke A Lori Fiye While walking down the hall you see all the familiar faces, with the exception of the beasties, that you’ve seen for the past few years. You never realize how much talent you encounter when classes dismiss. This week we would like to tell you about another student who spent summer pursuing what could be her life career. Marie Davis, a 15 year old sophomore, attended the Massanutten Music Camp for a week. Every year one or two gifted students from Rappahannock are sent to this camp in order to practice with different groups of singers from other counties. According to Marie, the singers were divided into 3 choruses. Marie was in the all girls Shenandoah Chorus. After taking care of the morning duties, the girls had a 2-hour rehearsal followed by a music related class. Marie tried her hand at conducting. At the end of the week the camp held a concert for the parents. In preparation for this concert the director chose a vocal soloist. Of the twelve people who tried for the position Marie was chosen to sing for the closing day concert. She is the first person from Rappahannock ever to be given such an honor. The school should be proud of this. Marie has been singing since the age of nine. She started singing in plays while she attended school in Washington, D. C. She plans to attend the Juilliard Music School. Her major goal is to reach stardom as a singer and composer. Since school has started everyone has come involved in one club or another. A number of clubs met last week and elected officers. The Junior class elected officers for the upcoming year. They are: PresidentGinger Eidson; VicePresident-Cristol Porter; Secretary-Eric Bear; Treasurer-Terri Tylek. The juniors discussed fund raising projects that would enable them to give the seniors their annual prom. The sponsors for the junior class are Mr. Flinchum, Mrs. Wood and Miss Gehringer. The Senior class also elected officers for 81-82. Included are PresidentLavonne Adkins; VicePresident-Keith Settle; Secretary-Lis a Poe; Treasurer-Robin Cooper. The seniors discussed the possibilities of a senior trip and means of financing it. The seniors sponsors are Miss Wolf, Miss Griffin and Mr. Hahn. The National Honor Society met Tuesday and chose these officers: President-Sharon Scott; VicePresident, Sheila Scott; Secretary-Margie Menefee; Treasurer-Lavonne Adkins. The NHS decided to continue their cake projects to finance a field trip in the spring. The NHS sponsor for this year is Miss Nelson. Also this week the senior class had the opportunity to hear a gentleman from the Red Cross. He spoke about the need for blood in our country. I think his talk encouraged many seniors to go out and give to this extremely worthy cause. This was also the week for great accomplishments. Scott Keithley broke the school record in the first cross country meet of the year. The team also faired well, placing second in the tri-meet. Monday afternoon the cross country team traveled to Warren County. The Rappahannock team defeated the Wildcats by a close score of 28 to 29. For those of you not familiar with Cross Country scoring, the low score wins. Student Transfers Concern Board (Continued from Page 4) the state’s electrical code. One remaining part is still on order for the new computer and when it is received, the overall investigation will be completed and recommendations made to the board on installing breaker switches, according to Estabrook. As to correction of the safety violations in the RCHS shop cited last school year by OSHA, only one safety hazard remains to be corrected, the superintendent continued. After explosion proof light switches now on order are received and installed, OSHA will be asked to conduct a final inspection before the contractor for the project is paid for his work. School Offices To Move? Chairman Massie reported that l*stabrook is vestigating the possibility of leasing the old Washington Post Office for school board office after being contacted by an individual who plans to buy the building. (The post office will be moved to the renovated Merrill's garage building next door to Nature’s Foods in the center of town.) Estabrook added that he'd also been contacted by eight other property owners who Artists Featured At Culpeper Museum Show The Culpeper Chapter of the Virginia Musuem will host “Sunday with the Arts” on September 20 from 3-6 p.m. at the Culpeper Country Club. Micheal Monroe, curator of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute will speak on "American Craft Today—A Look at Nine Virginia Artists.” In addition. nine local artists will demonstrate and sell their works on the Country Gub lawn. Mary Brown Allen of Culpeper is a freelance medical illustrator who was formerly director of the Educational Media Center at the Tufts-New England Medical Center for eight years.

Frederick Nichols, Jr., of Charlottesville, has had oneman shows since 1975 at the Virginia Museum of Art in Richmond, Longwood College in Farmville, the Grand Gallery in Wilmington, Delaware, and most recently the O. K. Harris West Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona. This year, his work has been included in three major group exhibits: “Contemporary American Landscapes’’ at Asuna Gallery in All-Risk Signup Deadline Nears On July 27, 1981, ASCS and the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FC1C) signed a memorandum of Understanding outlining the role of ASCS in the pew crop insurance program. This agreement is designed to make the most effective use of USDA resources in operating the expanded Federal Crop Insurance Program. Final signup for the U. S. Department of Agriculture's All-Risk Crop Insurance for winter wheat and barley ends September 30, in Rappahannock County. Secretary of Agriculture. John R. Block, has asked that farmers be reminded of this deadline date. USDA statistics show that every year one of every 14 planted acres never makes it to harvest. Secretary Block said. ‘‘Most fanners cannot afford to take such a risk on their own without insurance protection. Our new crop insurance program is a major policy change from Federal disaster programs that pay too little, to too few farmers. All-Risk Crop Insurance is a self-help assistance program that is fair to all." This all-risk crop insurance is available through several local insurance agents. If your agent doesn’t handle it, you may obtain a list of crop insurance agents by calling the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation’s toil free number, I -800-447-4700. • General District Court Cases Eugene E.

Planting A Winter Cover Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture Diane Relf said a cover crop such as oats, annual rye or winter wheat will serve several functions in the garden. "It will add organic material to the soil, hold nitrogen that might leach from the soil during the winter and loosen heavy soils," said the specialist. The cover crop can be sown from late summer to fall, depending on the type selected. Loosen the soil with a hoe or cultivator, sow the seed and rake it in lightly, said the faculty member in Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Next spring, plow the crop under before it goes to seed to insure that it does not become a weed.

"You want to move, don’t you?” asked Eastham. “Yes sir,” the superintendent replied. Massie explained that the current offices leased month to month in the old Sperryville Hotel offer little privacy for conferences since the superintendent and assistant superintendent must share a room. Should the search for new quarters be limited to “Little Washington?” Estabrook asked. “You can limit yourself to Washington, Virginia, but Little Washington doesn’t exist!” joked Miller, who also serves as mayor of the town. By consensus, the board authorized Estabrook to look further for new school board quarters and bring his recommendations back to the£ board. In other action, the board authorized prepayment of expenses for conferences to both the superintendent and assistant superintendent and agreed to have Sperryville attorney James W. Fletcher review the highway department’s lease for the bus shop before it’s signed by the school board. After a three hour and forty minute executive session for litigation and personnel that ended at 1:50 a.m., the board voted unanimously to accept the resignation of Bett Gehringer, hire Laurie Marshall as a teacher and Judy Burke as cafeteria coordinator, remove the contingency clause from Libby Snead’s contract and reaffirm her appointment and approve a long list of substitutes and aides.
