SAMPLE / 35TH YEAR, NO. 33 USPS 433380 14 PAGES THURSDAY, AUGUST 23,1984 WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA Phone The County Family Newspaper Founds 1877 • Auto Death Linked To Shooting A vehicular death and a shooting death last Saturday near the Shade Road were related, Sheriff John Henry Woodward said August 20. Robert Palmer Abell, 28, of Silver Spring, Maryland was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:50 p.m. on Route 622 near the Shade Road. He had been shot in the neck, according to Sheriff Woodward. Lucius Bethea, 25, of Washington, D. C., was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:55 p.m., also on Route 622, .7 mile north of Route 621, according to State Trooper R. A. Baines. Bethea was driving a 1973 Chevrolet Suburban at a high rate of speed, failed to negotiate a curve and struck a tree, Trooper Baines said. According to the sheriff, both men were helping the Abell man’s parents move into a home on Route 622, between Rock Mills and Route 211, before the incidents occurred. They left together in the Suburban, which was registered to Abell. Following their departure, Woodward theorizes they drove one-quarter mile, while Bethea shot Abell, pushed him from the vehicle, then proceeded toward Route 211. Bethea then was fatally injured when he struck a tree, totaling the Chevy Suburban, Trooper Baines said. A .357 magnum, found in the Suburban, is believed to be the murder weapon, although Sheriff Woodward declined to confirm this before ballistics tests were completed. According to Trooper Baines, it is not yet known if alcohol or drugs were involved. Autopsy reports “won’t be back for several days,” he said. Trooper Baines said wine bottles were found at the scene, but appeared to be part of a crate that was being moved to the Abell residence. No motive for the shooting was apparent, according to the sheriff. Another man who had traveled to the residence with Abell and Bethea told the sheriff they had been having fun with no cross words. Sheriff Woodward declined to release the name of the third man. In regard to the motive, Sheriff Woodward said: “I don’t think we’ll ever know. Only two were involved; both are deceased.” • Joint Public Hearing Tonight Rappahannock’s Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors will hold a joint public hearing August 23 at the courthouse in Washington at 7:30 p.m. The supervisors and planners will consider amending from 150 to 75 feet a rear-setback requirement of the 1973 Zoning Ordinance. The joint session was scheduled by the supervisors during their regular meeting August 6. , , • Planners To Di Rappahannock’s planning commissioners will discuss the county's proposed zoning ordinance with supervisors August 23, after a joint public hearing scheduled to begin at the courthouse at 7:30 p.m. Following a public hearing August 15 on the proposed ordinance, planners declined to say how they would proceed with the zoning issue. Said Planning Commission Chairman A. Y. Stokes August 20: “After the joint hearing with the supervisors on the 23rd, (we’ll) go over some of the input from the Wednesday meeting and try to iron out some of the problems presented at the public hearing. Asked of the possibility of a series of meetings on the proposed ordinance, Chairman Stokes said: “I really can’t say. I’m sure that we’ll probably have additional meetings. “We’re continuing to take public input,” he continued. Well work in any way we can to adjust the ordinance to meet the needs of the people. Of course, you can’t meet the needs of everyone. I’m sure there are some things that need to be adjusted and will be.” “Whenever you get as much reaction, you’ve got to sit down and think about it,” Planning Commissioner Newbill Miller said August 20. “I don’t have any objection to meeting informally and listening and talking. If people come with an attitude of accomplishing something, that’ll work.” • $8 Drafts Available Drafts of Rappahannock’s proposed zoning ordinance now are available for 38 at the Treasurer’s Office in Washington. The drafts originally cost |20. According to Sharon Dodson, deputy treasurer, “10 or 15” copies of the document have been sold since a public hearing on the proposed zoning ordinance was held August 15. Fifty copies were printed to be sold at the reduced price, Dodson confirmed. Treasurer’s Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Other copies of the proposed ordinance are available for public inspection at no cost: two can be bottowed for up to a week from the zoning administrator’s office; two others, one loaner and one for use on the premises, are available at the Clerk’s Office, where zoning maps also can be inspected. • Authority To Change Meetings Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority will change its meeting schedule to the first Thursday of the month, beginning September 6, Authority Chairman Robert Dennis announced August 20. Previously, Authority meetings were held the third Monday of the month. The change will enable the Authority to pay bills quicker by clearing them with county supervisors at the supervisors’ regular meeting the first Monday each month. Water and Sewer Authority meetings will begin at 7:30 p.m., starting in September. • Va. Voters Make History In ’84 Virginia voters are making registration history this year, thanks to a new law that allows residents to register to vote in a4jacent counties. People now can register to vote where convenient in the Commonwealth, not just where they live, according to Susan H. Fitx-Hugh, State Board of Elections secretary. To be eligible to vote in the presidential election this November, citizens must be registered before October 6. • School’s In; Watch Out Rappahannock Schools open today. Early dismissal is scheduled for 2 p.m. Motorists should adhere to posted speed limits during school hours. For more on school start-ups, see pages 8 and 9. On Propose Zoning Ordinance Hearing Turns Out Hundreds By JON HEDDLESTON nppahannock Newa Staff Writer Rappahannock’s proposed zoning ordinance met torrents of protest Au-1 gust 15 during a public hearing before | the Planning Commission. Originally scheduled at the courthouse, the hearing was moved to the elementary school. More than 300 people jammed the muggy gymnasium where seating was at a premium; many people sat on the floor or stood lining the walls. “This ordinance is a draft,” Richard “Dick” McNear, consultant to the Planning Commission, explained during opening remarks. “The purpose is to get citizens’ comments, review, and perhaps hold another meeting.” Citizens virtually guaranteed more public hearings in the four hours that Allowed McNear’s overview explanation of the proposed zoning ordinance. Forty-four people marched to the microphone during the public hearing; seven spoke twice. They aired a long list of concerns, among them: Special-use permits for churches. Several speakers said they believed the requirement of a specialuse permit to construct or expand churches was in violation of their constitutional rights of freedom of religion. McNear explained the purpose of requiring special-use permits for churches and schools. He said the special use was an effort to ensure protection of neighbors from other than “standard” Christian religions. “Special-use permits for churches have long been decided,” McNear said. “They cannot be denied unless the county has a very good reason.” “Why do you feel the county wouldn’t be safe if you just left the pub Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Heddkston Fans of meeting: Ruby Burner and Irva Poe of Amissville cool down and listen up during a public hearing on the county’s proposed zoning ordinance last Wednesday night. lie go (with religion)?” Robert W. Eastham of Flint Hill asked. Eastham also expressed concern about specialuse permits for schools. “I honestly feel in order to control private, as well as public schools.. . it’s in the best interest of schools and churches to accept a mimimal amount of control,” McNear said. Diana Bird of Washington thought the special-use permits were justifiable, explaining location of a church could affect safety of parishioners. Ronald Frazier of Amissville said he was speaking for many who “want no restrictions on churches in our county.” Others spoke out against special use permits, too: Some residents called the requirement “Communism.” Said Commissioner Newbill Miller in response to the flood of concerns: “I’ll try to get church as a matter of right. I’ll give you my assurance of that.” William L. Anderson of Amissville (Continued on Page 3) Habitual Qffender To Serve 12 Months, CA Says By ALEX PHILIPPIDIS Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer Gary Lee Bright, 21, of Sperryville was ordered sentenced to 12 months in jail by a jury in Rappahannock County Circuit Court last Thursday. Bright was convicted of driving a pickup last March after being declared an habitual traffic offender last year by the court. Bright’s license was suspended indefinitely by the county’s Circuit Court in August, 1963. He is now free on bond, pending formal sentencing September 20. “The public should be aware that there are very stiff sentences for people who drive after they’re (named) habitual offenders,” said Peter Luke, commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock. “The word should get out that I’m going to prosecute these cases—and there are mandatory sentences involved,” he added. Deputy Todd W. Brown of the county Sheriffs Department spotted Bright driving a red Chevrolet pickup at approximately 5:25 p.m. on March 7. “I was westbound on Route 211 approaching Route 1003 just east of Sperryvilie. I observed (Bright’s truck) pulling out in the eastbound lane,* Brown wrote in a criminal complaint he filed March 12. “The pickup made a wide turn when turning out from 1003. I then slowed down to keep from hitting the pickup, and at that time, I observed (Bright) operating the pickup,” he added. The department issued an surest warrant for Bright that same day. Five days later, Sheriff John Henry Woodward arrested Bright near the courthouse on Gay Street in Washington. Bright was held without bail, then released on his own recognizance after a preliminary hearing March 20. A grand jury indcted him in Rappahannock Circuit Court July 9. According to the written indictment- ment“Gary Lee Bright did unlawfully and feloniously operate a motor vehicle on a public highway” in Rappahannock County March 7 “after having been adjudicated an haibtual offender.” At his trial last Thursday, Bright’s testimony was corroborated by two witnesses, while Brown was the commonwealth’s sole witness. The com monwealth convinced an eight-woman, four-man jury that Bright drove hie truck in violation of his habitual offender status—after producing a triple-sealed copy of the court’s habitual offender decree and a computer printout of his driving record. According to the record, Bright was first convicted in December, 1980 of driving while intoxicated on November 11 of that year. He was convicted in juvenile court in Luray. On January 16, 1981, his license was ordered revoked until December 3 of that year. Bright’s next brush with the law came following an accident in Fairfax County on September 14, 1981. (Continued on Page 3) Authority Needs EPA Extention Bv JON HEDDLESTON Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer The Water and Sewer Authority must seek a three-month extention from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Philadelphia to insure funding of a waste-water treatment system for Sperryville, Authority members said during their regular meeting August 20. The extention, which is considered routine by the State Water Control Board and the engineer for the project, points to further delays for the Authority, which will fall nearly two months behind schedule. Getting the engineering firm for the project, Buckhart-Hom, Inc. of Williamsburg, committed to a schedule was uppermost on the minds of Authority members Monday night. Henry Gerhart, region manager for the firm, told Authority members July 16 his firm could prepare bid documents for the project within four to six weeks after receiving formal notification from the Authority to proceed, according to the minutes of the Authority’s meeting. “We sent notice to proceed almost immediately (following the last meeting), Authority Chairman Robert Dennis reminded members. Buckhart-Hom could not stick to the four-to-six-week schedule, however, and proposed a new schedule, which was reviewed by the Authority. (Continued on Page 14) Eradication Effort Nets No Returns In County No marijuana crops were uncovered in Rappahannock earlier this month when helicopters surveyed the county, Sheriff John Henry Woodward said August 20. The eradication effort was more fruitful in other parts of the state, however, according to a Virginia Department of State Police report released August 14. According to the report, the state’s 1984 Marijuana Eradication Suppression Program increased to 23,600 the number of marijuana plants located and destroyed in the state by all laws enforcement agencies. One hundred-three persons have been arrested this year as part of the effort. The helicopters touched down at Rappahannock Park in Washington August 6, where State Police teamed up with other enforcement agencies, including the National Guard, the Division of Forestry, the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and county law enforcement officers. The eradication program was conducted state-wide between July 28 and August 12, according to the report. “Although our. . . program will extend through the growing season, we believe this special two-week cooperative effort has conveyed (the) message that domestic cultivation of U. S. Army helicopers landed at Rappahannock Park August 6. OLk Newt Stiff Photo marijuana will not be tolerated within the Commonwealth,” said State Police Superintendent D.M. Slane. By year-end, State Police expect to seize more than 22 tons of stategrown marijuana, according to the report. Last year in Rappahannock the eradication program led to the ar rest of two people. Ten patches of marijuana were discovered in the county at that time. “I’m glad to see we didn’t find any this time,” Woodward said.

Hearing (Continued from Page 1 ) wanted to be assured a church destroyed by fire could be rebuilt. Anderson said a church could not be rebuilt unless it was a “conforming” use under the proposed ordinance. •Not enough copies. Residents complained not enough copies of the proposed zoning ordinance had been made available to the public, and that the $20-per-copy fee was restrictive. Limited maps became an issue, too. “You should make more than one map available,” Col. E.P. Luke of Sperryville, said. “The clerk of courts office is closed at four or five, and it’s closed on weekends.” Fifty copies had been printed originally, planning commissioners confirmed. “We will delay forwarding (recommendations) to the supervisors until more copies are available,” Commissioner Miller said. •Too long, technical. The length of the proposed document, up 160 pages from the 1973 Zoning Ordinance, and the documents legal jargon also drew fire. “Four members of the Board of Supervisors tell me they can’t hardly understand it,” Frazier said. “We need an ordinance that’s simple,” Robert B. Settle of Amjssville suggested. McNear said the commissioners “could throw a couple chapters away,” such as a chapter that explains the functions of boards. He maintained, however, the proposed ordinance was “justifiably” longer. McNear cited two reasons: “The legality, legal uses and legal requirements have increased, increased and increased,” he said. "The existing ordinance. . . . leaves a whole lot out (by way of explanation),” he added. One resident, E. Franklin Warner, said he thought the planners were going too far with a county zoning ordinance. “The General Assembly says you ‘may’ do this,” he emphasized. “You really don’t need one at all due to statute.” Frazier attacked the proposed ordinance on the grounds it was “almost a carbon copy of Fauquier's ordinance,” the county where McNear serves as planning director. Others took up the charge. Said Dorothy Whorton, who was upset by language restricting barbed wire on a two-acre lot: “In Rappahannock County, that just goes against the grain.” •Small contractors, professionals. Several people questioned restrictions on home occupations when a person owns less than five acres. The discussion centered around the definition of a “small” contractor, then blossomed into questions regarding service station repairs, home haircutting operations and limits on child care. Said Jon Morgan of Woodville, in Going On In The Arts Reviewing ‘One Acts’ By Homer H. Horner Rappahannock Neva Contributinf Writer The Rappahannock Players’ choice to present three original one-act plays won an enthusiastic response from the audience at last Friday night’s production at the Gay Street Theatre. Randy Moomaw’s “Beacheads,” directed by E. P. Palmer, is a sharpwitted, suddenly vulnerable dialogue between a woman and a man on a beach at 3 a.m. Toni Came vale and Tom Simpson played all the humor the script offered and created two characters, and a couple, that we laughed with and cared about. Though some of the hard beats at the end just missed their timing, the two found serious moments that were equally effective. The second play, a work-in-progress titled “Unfinished Business,” is an endearing portrait of the sisters of a close-knit mountain family. Catherine Kiley, Valerie Bayne, Jeanne Drevas, and Laurie Marshall, with her son Jeremy, worked out this sketch from improvisations based on Riley’s collection of oral histories by mountain women. While it is early in this play’s development, it has a good, strong story and all four actresses draw clear characters. They show a good sense of ensemble work. It seems a solid start. What might be interesting is to see everyone change clothes on stage and use that transformation with the singing to strengthen the shift from present to past and back again. The wobbly speaking accents could be distracting and too often individual speaking voices were hard to hear. The third play, “Crows,” by E. P. Palmer, is about atmospheres, and the tensions that develop between people, but there is either too much material for this play’s structure to contain or not enough. Linda Weimstra’s sarcastic, hard-boiled waitress set against the sophisticated, edgy couple played by Stuart Eiland and Robin Rizzuti quickly outlined the mystery these people are to each other. Brian Ross’s engaging garage mechanic and floating scenic elements underlined the play’s ironies. ....... iw • •. i -.Vt H4 fc-vn- ;»*»» Gay Street Theatre is practically a technical wasteland and presents a,constant challenge to anyone staging a production there. The additional problems of three different plays in one evening must have been demanding for producer Tutt Stapp-Harris and the Players. Much of the technical execution by Michelene Hostetter and Steve Hostetter and all the backstage people was confident and clean. There were a Major Gifts Help The Child Care And Learning Center’s Building Fund Local Rappahannock citizens, a very generous out-of-county couple, and two New York City-based family foundations have swelled The Child Care and Learning Center’s Building Fund to $101,092. The directors of the Center learned this news at its bimonthly meeting on Aug. 12. When the Greve Foundation releases a challenge grant, construction funds for the new Center will soar to an aggregate total of $176,000 or 77 percent of the projected $230,000 needed to complete the facility. In late June, over 500 letter appeals were sent to full-time and part time Rappahannock County residents soliciting their financial support for the new Center facility. To date 132 gifts and pledges from Rappahannock sources has resulted in $47,092 toward a projected $50,000 county goal. The Board of Directors of The Child Care and Learning Center have authorized their architect, Angus Macdonald, to proceed with working drawings for the new center and are making plans for a ground-breaking celebration. The directors are hoping that current delays over the rear set back can be resolved in the near future.

"That’s not appropriate for this county.” Sjrid McNear, who explained Article 6 of the proposed zoning ordinance which outlines accessory uses and home occupations: ‘There’s not one activity in the county today that will cease or be modified in the new ordinance.” •Inconsistencies. Two people picked lip on inconsistencies in the proposed ordinance. Henry Gorfein of Harris Hollow said wineries would require a specialuse permit in one section of the ordinance, but “processing (grapes) on one’s property was ok.” According to Sean Kilpatrick of Woodville, the text of the proposed ordinance needs consistency review in a variety of areas: nurseries and greenhouses; fruit/apple stands; bed and breakfasts; golf courses/driving ranges. Kilpatrick also said more definitions were needed: for automotiverepair garages, arenas/stadiums, commercial feed lots, and revision of the definition of a “campsite.” •Downzoning commercial properties. Several residents asked questions regarding commercial properties, commercial uses and downzoning from commercial to conservation/agricul tural of some properties. Sam Snead of Gid Brown Hollow said he wasn’t sure where one proposed change on a section of his property was looted. He was sure, he said, that a commercial holding of his was proposed for downzoning. Snead wondered how proposed changes were determined. He also questioned the legality: "By what authority (can ordinance drafters) remove spot zoning?” he questioned. Snead asked planners not to move to correct what they may consider zoning mistakes of the past. "We simply sweep them under the rug—no compensation, no justification,” he said. In regard to commercial zoning, Attorney Doug Baumgardner spoke in behalf of the owners of Hillsdale Grocery and Bennett A Butler Assoc. Baumgardner called their properties "commercial,” saying the "pro-' posed ordinance designates both for agricultural zoning.” He said his clients purchased the properties believing them to be commercial and that they pay commercial taxes. "To deprive (these properties) of commercial zoning would be unsound, discriminatory and unfair,” he said. AmissviUe residents Lorraine and John Early and Robert Bowers also expressed concern about downzoning of their commercial holdings.

EQUIPMEMT Culpeper Motor Corporation PONTMOGNC4HC m toil tohon toy., Culppptr, Vi Mr.Mp.4t2 70342SDt1 Col. Luke wondered if proposed downzoning had been reviewed with property owners who would be affected. “The value of an estate is either increasing or decreasing,” he said, depending on upzoning or downzoning. • Minimum lot size. Residents expressed concern that young people would not be able to afford to build homes in Rappahannock. Bobby Carter of Amissville asked the minimum lot size required under the proposed zoning ordinance. McNear said it would depend on which district and the use regulations. He referred Carter to section 3.4-2 of the proposed ordinance, which shows minimum lot size ranges. Carter called for the planners to “take out” minimum lot-size restrictions. “It’s like citizens are craning under a dictatorship. Eighty percent of us have to leave Rappahannock to make a living. We don’t need five acres of upkeep. It’s better with one acre, and keep it well, than five not maintained,” he said. •Authority. Two residents, Forrest Wharton and Robert W. Eastham, said they believed the proposed zoning ordinance would give too much authority to the zoning administrator, thus “removing power from the supervisors,” Whorton said. “It’s absolutely the 4>p|site,” McNear responded. He refemw to special exceptions, which would go directly to the Board of Supervisors under the proposed ordinance, he said. Attorney Sharon Luke of Amis8ville, who introduced herself as a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, suggested the zoning administrator obtain permission from the Board of Supervisors before involving the county in litigation. Under the proposed zoning ordinance, Luke said, “The zoning administrator can instigate litigation.” • Cooperation. Some of the final speakers of the evening called for cooperation. “I don’t appreciate the hateful attitude,” Supervisor Nelson Lane said from the floor. “There’s a lot of misunderstanding. . . It’s a hell of a tough job.” Said Attorney Frank Reynolds of Washington, who emphasized the need to get a defensible ordinance in place: “D.C. is only 30 miles away now, and getting closer.” Jackson To Perform Folk musician John Jackson of Rappahannock County will perform traditional American blues and jazz music September 22 in the natural amphitheater on Charlie Tompkins’ land next to the Washington Fire Department. Offender To Serve 12 Months (Continued from Page 1 ) According to the record, he was convicted in Fairfax County District Court April 1, 1962 and his license was suspended indefinitely after he failed to pay a court-ordered fine. By August of that year, his license suspension was reduced to six months. On March 22, 1963, Bright was convicted in Rappahannock Circuit Court of driving under a suspended license in January, 1963, and sentenced to a three-month license suspension after he Hailed to pay a fine levied by the state Department of Motor Vehicles. On April 3,1983, Bright again was found driving with a suspended license, and was given another 90-day license suspension in Rappahannock Circuit Court Bright was declared an habitual offender on August 10,1963. Virginia law considers motorists to be habitual offenders if they were convicted (or found not innocent in juvenile proceedings) three times of several offenses, including-. • Voluntary or involuntary manslaughter while operating a motor vehicle. • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Driving with a license or permit that is suspended or revoked. • Swearing or affirming false statements on reports or to officers. • Any felony using a motor vehicle. • Running from the scene of an accident if someone has died or is injured, and/or if damage to any car exceeds $250. Motorists convicted 12 times for lesBer offenses and already having had their licenses suspended for 30 or more days also are considered habitual offenders. Under Virginia law, habitual traffic offenders can only drive farm tractors up to five miles. If convicted of driving under other circumstances, they face either 12 months in jail— Bright’s sentence—or from one to five years in a penitentiary. The sentences can only be suspended in cases “in situations of apparent extreme emergency which may require such operation (of a motor vehicle) to save life and limb,” according to state code. Habitual offenders cannot obtain driver’s licenses for 10 yeae^J^fa^the day they were declared such—unless they prove their offenses were alcohol related and that they are no longer alcohol abusers. They can appl£ for a license five years after being declared habitual offenders. Most cases of habitual traffic offenses are alcohol related, Luke said. “If people are driving after being named habitual offenders,” he added, “they’re kind of running into an old stone wall.” Crab Feast Scheduled Seafood lovers may well get a mouthful at a crab feast Saturday at Amissville Fire Hall on Route 211.

The sport, a blend of baseball and donkey antics, was played in Rappahannock County last Friday when two teams of Amissville men—the “Unbeatables’ and the Fire Company ‘Invincibles’—literally made asses of themselves in a Ruritan-sponsored donkeyball match at Stewart Field in Amissville.

Mantoar, AudB Bureau ol Oculallon THURSDAY, AUGUST 23,1984 In The Boat It's .tough to know the will of the people. .lust prior to the presidential election of 1980, polls showed Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan \ irtuallv even. The polls weren’t in touch with the will of the people. The men and women of Congress spend thousands of dollars annually trying to determine what people they represent want. Many mail questionnaires to their constituents attempting to pinpoint where the people stand on major issues. Generally, members of Congress discover, people are apathetic until an issue hits home. A proposed zoning ordinance for Rappahannock County has hit home with many residents. Proposed zoning ordinances in this county have stirred debate and precipitated involvement in the past; why would anyone think a zoning ordinance proposed in 1984 would be any different? Zoning should reflect the will of the people—but how can their will be determined? One way is to make every effort to get people actively participating in drafting a zoning ordinance, one purpose of which is to protect people. When people participate, they are more apt to accept the final product—even if it isn’t everything they wanted. Participation puts people in the boat and leads to support. Rappahannock’s , planning commissioners say they have^wel coined public participation during the three-plus years they’ve spent drafting the proposed zoning ordinance. Still, virtually no participation by the public occurred until last week during a public hearing. Perhaps the planners should have pursued participation actively, rather than passively accepting it. A series of discussion meetings, announced in advance and held in different parts of the county, may have helped gamer participation and gain acceptance. In smaller groups, planners could have determined what people wanted and explained the “whys” of the proposed zoning ordinance as the draft evolved. Of course, it’s easy to be a quarterback on Monday morning— to suggest what could have worked after it’s too late. But it isn’t too late. County planners say they’re not in a hurry to get a new ordinance in place. The people say they want more time to take a closer look, and more opportunity to make suggestions. More meetings will get more participation; more participation will make people feel like their concerns count; when people believe their views are being considered, they’re more apt to get in the boat. No ship sails smoothly with mutiny on her decks. It’s torpedos, launched by those who believe they’ve been left out of the boat, that sink ships. Misinformation A 220-page document on misinformation could be written in Rappahannock this week. Running neck and neck with a host of legitimate concerns about the county’s proposed zoning ordinance is a long list of untruths being associated with its passage. The misinformation has stirred up some people like a poke at a hornet’s nest. Among some of the high-flying hoaxes: • People won’t be allowed to pray in their own homes. • People won’t be allowed to change the spark plugs in their own vehicles on their own property. • Homosexuality will run rampant in Rappahannock. • Communism is coming. • Spies from Russia are here. No one knows where misinformation begins. It leads only to confusion. And confusion leads to chaos. Misinformation is not a necessary part of putting an effective zoning ordinance in place. Information is. The way to get information is to look in the book—the draft of the proposed zoning ordinance— like many residents proved they had done when they spoke at a public hearing last week. Misinformation, spread by few, only hampers sincere efforts by many to get to the facts—and debate them where necessary. Fight Fairly For Religious Freedom By JON HEDDLESTON Rappahannock News Staff Writer SUNDAY—I missed Connecticut today for the first time since my family and I moved to Rappahannock. It wasn’t the state I missed or the iob 1 left behind. It was the church the church where we were members for nearly four years. It was the first church I joined as an adult. As I recall, my wife virtually had to drag me there. But as time passed and we got involved, I learned what a fundamental part of life a church can be: A place for faith, freedom of worship, friends, prayers, meaningful sermons and songs. We became an American family of four in that small church in Connecticut—a strong family unit, I believed, because of our church experience there. It took going to church here in Rappahannock to make that all come back to me. Going to church here for the first time hurt—and it helped, too. People in Rappahannock proved last week they’ll fight for the right of churches and religious freedoms to exist. They spoke out during a public hearing regarding Rappahannock’s proposed zoning ordinance. In regard to churches, valid questions were raised: Should a church location be decided by right or by special-use permit? Will the proposed zoning ordinance be written in a manner that will allow rebuilding of any church destroyed by fire, flood or other calamity? The motives of people in Rappahannock who spoke last week to protect churches and the religious freedom they represent were honorable and correct: Freedom of religion is an inalienable right in this country. A few citizens, however, went too far. Viewpoint Some strongly implied that the people who drafted a proposed zoning ordinance for the county don’t care about religious freedom, would suppress an opportunity to build or rebuild a church, and may even attempt to lead the good citizens of Rappahannock toward some type of totalitarian state. It’s unfair to imply these public figures aren’t religious, don’t care about freedom of religion and would willingly open Pandora’s box in a proposed zoning ordinance. It’s also detrimental to the valid concerns about churches and religious rights raised during the public hearing. No church—or the framework it represents—was built by casting stones. Churches are built by gathering and placing stones together. If mistakes in a proposed zoning ordinance have been made, they can be corrected quickly with pen or pencil. Tearing down verbal walls that only serve to divide is a much tougher proposition. ‘—Oar Rappahannock Heritage J Letters To The Editor Three Good Reasons For Good Zoning To the editor. Because of a sudden attack, I was unable to attend last Wednesday’s meeting on the new Zoning Ordinance. I was, however, well briefed in the proceedings, and would like to make a few comments. I. The intelligent compromise of conflicting interests is the bedrock of both good government and a congenial community. The proposed ordinance may need more citizen input and, following that, constructive changes before it is finally adopted. But we most certainly need a zoning ordinance if we are to have a true community, in which all of our special interests are harmonized for the general good. To attack the proposed ordinance in its entirety, as distinguished from offering thoughtful, constructive changes, is destructive. If we have no ordinance, Rappahannock County will in time become a jungle of strip and spot development. Taxes will rise and property values will fall. We will cease to be the essentially congenial rural community we now are. II. There should be no uses permitted by right if such uses affect the public. It was suggested at the meeting that Churches should be permitted by right. I disagree. The First Amendment to our Constitution, as extended to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment, guarantees that neither the proposed ordinance nor its implementation may interfere with the practice of religion in any church. However, both churches and church schools affect the public interest in several ways that make public regulation imperative, not only for the public at large, but also for the church’s congregations and pupils. Specifically, the matters of water supply, sewage, parking and avoidance of traffic hazards because of improper ingress and egress. These are not religious matters; they are public matters and should be dealt with accordingly. III. Let us assume the good faith of those who make up our local government, until we have convincing evidence to the contrary. This needs little discussion. I assume that the Planning Commission will welcome and adopt reasonable changes offered by the public after full opportunity for consideration of the ordinance has been given. Finally, under this heading, there remains the problem of insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ that has created conflict, unnecessarily, in the past. We need to join together as a community to consider change and adopt this ordinance. If outsiders have had a hand in it, we should not judge their work on that basis, but on the basis of the work itself. Thesame goes for the insiders. 1 sign this, not only as an outsider, but also as one who, I hope, has the best interests of Rappahannock County at heart. LEE BIRD Washington Totalitarian Government Will Rise Seeking Secular Control To the editor: The gentleman fielding questions at last night’B Planning Commission meeting stated that he was not the author of the controversial zoning plan being offered, but admitted he did draft the work. I think that the many religionists gathered there realize this morning just who the author really is. The Bible tells us that in those last days a totalitarian government would rise up which would not only attempt to limit and/or otherwise destroy worship, but would even seek complete secular control over the population-to the extent that no one could even buy or sell without its permission. And it has been further understood by those who have eyes to see and ears to hear that this evil system would be the result of not only devilish leadership but secular humanism as well (the way that seems good to man but the end thereof is destruction). That this is being felt in Rappahannock County is not strange. It is a prevailing wind blowing across the face of the earth. Secular humanism is the attempt to establish good in the world without the assistance of God. It is an attempt at fellowship without the spirit of truth, and at brotherhood in the family of mankind without the recognition of the divine parents who brought that family into being. The forces of hell-men and women totally motivated by their evil side and their unborn again, beastlike naturaeare to align themselves with this totalitarian regijne. Perhaps this seems a little heavy* lift it works itself out in everyday lif$, and as we saw last night in local polities. Greed. Special interest. The opposite of the golden rule could quite easily be seen sitting on the stage shamelessly supporting a body of legislation which is designed to take away the very freedom which our fore fathers fought and died to get us-the right to worship without government interference and the right to private property. All this in the name of “the quiet enjoyment” of our neighbors’ property by our neighbors. Where this quiet-enjoyment doctrine came from I do not wish to contemplate. But when I see real estate brokers making laws about real estate, and junk car dealers making rules about how many junk cars a person may be allowed to keep-do I need to spell it out? I see something beside a desire for the quiet enjoyment of a neighbor to his property. What’s the matter with a little noise anyway? What is America supposed to be-a graveyard? In the words of Bobby Dylan (one of yesteryear’s rvoisemakers) “You should be made to wear earphones”-or earplugs! Maybe we should change the name of our county from “Rappahannock” to “Resthaven.” And as we are being made well aware the ban would prevent “making a joyful noise unto the Lord.” The Constitution divides church and state. Jesus divided the things belonging to Caesar from the things belonging to God. But, personally, as a citizen and as a religionist, I don’t want to have to obey any laws written by the hand of Satan-no matter what “good men” he uses to draft them. But a tree is known by its fruit. Tile planning board admitted that its attempt to control worship stemmed from a desire to help and support the “mainline” local religions at the expense of the so-called “cults.” That is, it hoped to prevent all spiritual change and growth by fostering the traditional and the established. But the spirit is alive. And it (Continued on Page 5) i—From Both Barrels Where R.R. Will Win Again For The Gipper By GEORGE BOWLES In many important ways, the concern* of Virginia delegates attending the Republican National Convention in Dallas are similar to those of the Old Dominion’s Democrats who attended their party’s convention in San Francisco last month. In many other ways, however, the differences between the two gatherings are staggering. First, the similarities. The Virginians in Dallas, like those in San Francisco, are privately far more worried about the politics of 1986 than they are about this year’s electoral effort. To be sure, a great to-do is being made about the need for a fullcourt press to re-elect incumbent Republican U. S. Sen. John Warner, carry the state for President Reagan and increase the size of the Virginia GOP congressional delegation. Only the last, however, is a matter of serious concern. The Republicans regard the first two items on their agenda as in the bag. Thus, except for the halfdozen congressional races, most of the social circuit chit-chat and hotel room caucuses center around next year’s races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general as well as the perennial Republican goal of increasing the party’s holdings in the General Assembly. All 100 seats in the House of Delegates will also be up for election next year. There are, at the moment, five Republicans eyeing the party’s gubernatorial nod. They are former Fairfax Del. Wyatt Durette, former Attorney General Marshall Coleman, 1st District Congressman Herbert Bateman, former 6th District Congressman Caldwell Butler and 8th District Congressman Stanford Parris. Those considering bids for the lieutenant governor nomination are state Sen. John Chichester of Fredericksburg, state Sen. Wiley Mitchell of Alexandria, Del. A. R. (Pete) Giesen of Waynesboro, Del. Frank Hargrove of Hanover and Maurice Dawkins of Springfield, chairman of the Virginia Black Republican Council. Coleman may also consider the numbertwo spot if his gubernatorial prospers do not prosper. In the attorney general’s race, Del. William R. (Buster) O’Brien of Virginia Beach thus far has the field to himself. Like the Democratic hopefuls in San Francisco, the potential Republican candidates or their surrogates will be working the delegates in Dallas in search of support. The only exceptions are Bateman and Parris, who have to be a bit circumspect in their campaigning. They are both'candidates for re-election to Congress this year. If either were elected governor in 1985 he would have to resign his congressional seat after less than a year of service, and after having spent much of that year away from Washington campaigning. Aside from being considered by some to be poor form, such double candidacies are also risky politics. But beyond their preoccupa tions with next year’s elections, the similarities between the Virginians in Dallas and those in San Francisco come to an abrupt halt. In San Francisco the Democrats tied themselves in knots in their efforts to recognize and accommodate every conceivable division of the human estate. Egalitarianism ruled, and heaven help the party leader who refused to pay respectful attention to the “input” of the myriad constituent groups. Each had its own agenda which it wished the convention to address. The Republicans labor under no such compulsions. In a social sense, there are no Republican constituent groups. Those who make up the power blocs in the Democratic party, such as Blacks and Hispanics, are represented in the GOP by scattered individuals or small caucuses which are little noted and even less heeded. Thus the Republicans in Dallas are free to concentrate on what they regard as their natural role in the order of things. That is the role of economic royalists, as FDR called them, who see themselve as predestined to lead the riff-raff out of 50 years of wandering in the Democratic wilderness. It is a role in which they feel comfortable and supremely confident. Dallas is the perfect setting for the launching—or the continuing—of such a crusade. It is rich. It is the most conservative city in America. It is loaded with oil rig chic, although it is not an oil center. It is a cowtown without cows or cowboys. It is a grand movie set on which Ronald Reagan can again play a starring role and probably win another one for the Gipper. One can look at the opulence of this city and understand why many of the conventioneers really doubt that there is serious hunger in America and really believe that, with Reagan, they have ridden the GOP elephant to a Republican nirvana. Now admittedly there are divisions of opinions within the party. A handful of liberals and moderates still raise their voices in protest against the overwhelming majority views on such things as abortion, prayer in schools, the ERA, the deficit and a few other questions, but it is no big deal. Mr. Reagan is getting just about the platform he wants. After all, most of it was being written in the back rooms of the Hyatt Regency Hotel while in the front rooms the convention’s platform committee was holding public hearings on what it should contain. None of this, however, is likely to unduly disturb the delegates. The stock market is up, inflation is down, interest rates are steady, and the flag flies, at least figuratively, over Grenada. What more could good, God-fearing Republicans wish for in an election year! So, says the GOP, let the Democrats worry about the constituent groups and their problems. This week it’s time for a grand old party, Dallas style. Present Zoning Ordinance Discredits Local Government To the editor: The present zoning ordinance (1973) with its 60 pages of controls and regulations, has probably done more than any other single thing to discredit the apparatus of local government in the minds of many Rappahannock residents. It has developed in these residents a strong feeling which was without precedent in this county-a feeling of rejection and rebellion. This was a shift from the old and accepted identity of the citizen with the neighbor he put in office, who understood his daily problems and administered a county system of ‘live and let live.* It’s replaced by a new system in which an alien hand imposed upon our people a system of controls over their daily lives backed by force and fines. And now comes a new, 210-page version of George Orwell’s l98i, in 1984, to replace the 1973 ordinance. Planner Me Near brings us from across the Rappahannock River an encyclopedia of increased control and regulation, with quadrupled fines for violation, with the burden of proof switched from the accuser to the accused, and with provisions so complex as to be generally incomprehensible to the affected citizens who will be entangled in its tails later on. Now Mr. Me Near and his supporters on the Planning Commission have felt the first heat of rejection and rebellion. This heat will inevitably become more intense in the months ahead. These citizens who have become angered are not limited to a handful of ‘kooky’ Pentacoetals with a limited number of votes fighting to preserve religious freedom in this county. The angered men and women now include all sorts and degrees of people. This surely was demonstrated in the hearing on August 15 and will become more apparent with every hearing held in the months ahead as the citizens learn more about the contents of the proposed ordinance. Mr. McNear, at the hearing, stated that one purpose of the proposed ordinance was to protect the more orthodox religions in their worship! What a piece of effrontery was this! Does Mr. McNear have the Pope’s infallibility when he defines more orthodox or less orthodox religions? Does he presume to rewrite the first amendment to the federal Constitution? Allowing as much credit as I can for their good intentions, which they have piously proclaimed, my question must remain: Had these men no perception whatever of who our people are and what this county is before setting it on fire with their proposal? I have little doubt that, in the end, some new zoning ordinance, significantly different from the present proposal, will be exacted by the supervisors. The question of how and by whom it will be administered then becomes—indeed already has become— the $64,000 question. No ordinance will work unless it is administered impartially, fairly, without personal vendettas and with sympathetic (Continued on Page 5)

At The Library Readers Gel Ribbons, Certificates And PIZZAZZ Twenty-one children who completed the Rappahannock County Library's “Read for the Gold” summer program received ribbons and certificates at the library August 15. Fiftynine children participated in the program. “Many worked hard, but due to vacations, didn’t complete (the program),” Pat Helmer, assistant librarian, said. Helmer presented the awards on her last day of work at the library. Special awards went to: • Nathan Flincham, a preschooler who read all the books himself. Nathan turned 5 August 13. His parents are Roger and Debby Flincham. • Tanya Runion, who received special honors for doing “extras,” among them, her own poem titled “Books.” Her parents are Mary Runion and Russell Henry. • Mary Ellen “M.E.” Bailey, who received a special award for being first to complete the program—in 1 Vi weeks. Her mother is Mary Bailey. Following the presentations, children were entertained by Puppets by PIZZAZZ. In the puppet show, children were told they’d meet the most famous person in the world after finding hidden chocolates to entice the person to come.

Today’s Sunday-go-to-meeting Baptist was yesterday’s cultist and religious revolutionary. The wine has aged and mellowed...the bottle has grown old and gotten weak.

A Baptist was directly responsible in influencing Madison to include the freedom of religion clause in the Bill of Rights. The Bible says that today we shall “sing a new song unto the Lord” (not quiet a new quiet unto the Lord). And a “new song” means change and growth in the forms of religion. It does not say that we must all come under the thumb of the Beast. And if the Book of Jonah in the Bible has any meaning we can see that cataclysmic prophecy is often a warning sign (Detour! Bridge Out Ahead). Turn to God before it’s too late. Are we so set in oilr ways that we must experience the effects of Armageddon and other endtime evils here in Rappahannock County? Let’s pray not. And that’s the answer—Pray. For the things of God we must turn to God in prayer and worship...and then return to our daily lives and apply God’s Love (God’s Will). And for the things of Caesar, that is government, let’s be good citizens of a democracy and err on the side of freedom—not special interest!

How does it feel? PETER HOLLEY Boston, Va. Ordinance Discredits (Continued from Page 4) understanding of the real problems of individual citizens. On the record, the present incumbent is surely not the man for the job. A proposal, currently going the rounds in Washington, is that he be replaced with another import from Fauquier, a lawyer who was the single individual who spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance on the 15th. Would not this be a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire? If we must have a dictator for social engineering in Rappahannock, let him, at least, be of us and for us. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill Put Respect Before To the editor: Last week’s zoning meeting was a fascinating display of local democracy, in which I found both hopeful and ominous signs. It seems to me that with the consideration of this proposed new zoning ordinance we have even more at stake than the many ways that zoning affects on our lives. We have a choice of futures now, according to the way that we treat each other. As we grapple .with this difficult task of creating a fair, practical, legally consistent zoning law, we will either be stronger and better off, or-as a county of people whose lives are intertwined md fi interdependent-weaker and poorer. Winning And Losing Equal to or of greater importance than the law we end up with, is the way in which we did it, our actions, words, even thoughts and feelings about each other, our neighbors. You could get the law you want, and lose something greater. We must believe, and desire to make it so, that well-intentioned people on both sides of controversial issues can meet and create a balance which will benefit all. If we work on our respect for each other, if we can question our own righteousness just a bit, and reach put to understand other points of vfew, a zoning law that is Setter, stronger, and fair to all, safe Supervisors Should Have Been There To the editor: I was one of the residents of Rappahannock County in the audience at the Public Hearing of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission on Wednesday, August 15. I cannot understand why only 20 copies of an ordinance as important as this were made available to the public. The livelihood of more than 20 people are at stake. Why was Richard McNear, director of planning and zoning in Fauquier County, hired to write the ordinance at a cost to the County of approximately $6,000 when we have a Planning Commission which I strongly believe should Lightweight champ ads tubing mops up on drainage projects. On any construction project where drainage is required, AOS corrugated polyethylene tubing saves time, labor and money. Because it's low in cost, light in weight, easy and fast to install.

It is their responsibility as mandated by the people of this County to handle such matters. It is true Mr. McNear says he is a resident of Rappahannock County but works in Fauquier County, which, I think, is a conflict of interest.

Like any other house that has been maintained in good condition, your present home has probably appreciated in value substantially since you bought it. By trading up you can use the money you realized on the sale of the house to buy a more expensive house and still come out money ahead. Suppose you bought s house for $60,000 eight years ago and it is now worth at least $100,000. By selling at that price you realize a minimum net profit of $40,000. You can use this money to buy a house worth much more than the value of your present house. Also, you can put a substantial amount down to get the best possible mortgage arrangements. You’ve not only traded up to a better house, you’ve also made a better investment. If you’re ready to make a move, discuss your needs with your Realtor.

Rappahannock Schools, 1984-85 Administrators Look Forward To The New School Year County Schools A Bigger Budget— And Computers By ALEX PHILIPPIDIS ftafpalMMMck Staff Writer Robert Estabrook, Rappahannock County superintendent of schools, has reason to hope this school year will be better than last. For one thing, Rappahannock’s share of Virginia’s total school development budget is now three times last year’s amount—a jump from just under $100,000 in 1983-84 to over $300,000 this school year. “The county simply rolled up its sleeves in large numbers and went after (additional funding),” Estabrook said. He added that county school board members, public school staff members and Rappahannock residents were responsible for convincing the state Board of Supervisors to earmark more money for the county. For another, public school students in elementary grades will begin to learn computer skills early next year—thanks to eight new computers bought recently by the county, as well as ssuayal computer study outlines draw* up by a committee earlier this year. The new machines join 10 other computers in use at Rappahannock County High School for the past four years. “Initially, computer instruction at the high school will remain basically intact” according to a report prepared by the Computer Literacy Planning Committee earlier this summer. The report also recommended a course in advanced computer programming “in at least two languages—BASIC and probably PASCAL—maybe (sic) touch on FORTRAN or COBOL.. Estabrook said computer education “will be a major point of emphasis” in Rappahannock public schools this year, .yi „ . . “Certainly, the way society operates now, we feel computer literacy is vital to people these days,” he said. The county superintendent of schools said Rappahannock’s computer education program differed from “fine programs in other school districts” which he said were flawed because the districts “jumped on the computer bandwagon early. “First, we decided what we Rappahannock Newt PtioKVAkx Biilippidis Robert Estabrook, Rappahannock County superintendent of schools: “1 don’t believe a superintendent can afford to have feelings of trepidation. ’ ’ wanted to do” before purchasing the new computers and drawing up new curricula, he added. “We had a lot of homework to do.” Stress On Gifted Students Recognizing and > challenging gifted and talented students will also be stressed in county schools this year, Estabrook said, keeping Rappahannock in compliance with new guidelines enacted statewide last spring. No changes are anticipated in either special education programs nor in extracurricular activities this school year, he said. Regarding the latter— expanded two years ago to include high school soccer and volleyball teams— Rappahannock News PhoUvAlex Philippidis Eight teachers begin instructing students in Rappahannock County public schools this week. The eight (l.-r.) are Leonard Petrino, high school earth science; Carol Nowakoski, elementary physical education; Edward Marich, high school mathematics; Nancy Scoggin, seventh grade; Lee Barbara Timmerman, high school mathematics; Toni Layne Schaefer, elementary school reading; Rebecca Roberts, high school English; Ronald Vickers, high school industrial arts. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING MOTOR VEHICLE UCENSE TAX ORDINANCE FOR RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY At 10:00 A.M. on September 10, 1964 in the Courthouse building, Washington, Virginia, tha Board of Supervisors tor Rappahannock County. Virginia shall propose tor paaaaga, and hold a public hearing with respect to, a revision of the “Motor Vehicle License Tax OnMnance tor Rappahannock County, Virginia,” which revision provides, in tubfltmon is follows 1. the license toe shad be raised to $15.00 tor motorcycles, and to $20.00 tor all other vehicles subject to the tax; 2. tor toe imposition of a $20.00 fine tor violation of the Ordinance; 3- tor deletion from the Ordinance of language no longer in accord with Stats snabing legislation. The complete text of the revised Ordinance is available for public inspection at the Circuit Court Ctortc's Office of Rappahannock County. Virginia in Washington. Virginia, and a copy is posted on the buitotin board inside the Rappahannock County Courthouse. Upon becoming effective, this Ordinance shad supercede and replace all prior County ordinances, or amendments thereto, concerning the vehicle license tax now provided tor by Section 46.1-66 of the Code of Virginia. Diane Bruce, Clerk Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors Estabrook said the county “is not planning any expansion now.” But the Rappahannock superintendent of schools would like to change what he called a “frightening” difficulty in filling teaching vacancies in county Softools. To date, Rappahannock needs a high school special education teacher. And two teaching vacancies were filled only last week. “I was trying to fill them since April,” he said. Estabrook added that the past few months have been his most difficult for attracting new teachers in his four years as county superintendent of schools. “Why? I’m not sure,” he said. “Certainly something is going on.” He said “qualified persons” rejected teaching positions in the county, either because of its rural character or because of the salaries they would have received. ‘We simply are not competing with private industry,” he added. “We aren’t able to offer the range of benefits and services that would enable us to compete. “We need to work as well on our image,” he said. Referring to the 1983 Carnegie Foundation Report on public education in the U.S.—which blamed public schools for what it called “a rising tide of mediocrity which threatens our existence as a nation”—Estabrook said “some national studies gave us a bum rap.” How does Estabrook view the new school year? “I don’t believe a superintendent can afford to have feeling of trepidation—that isn’t good for my mental health,” he replied. “There are always challenges,” he added, “but I think when you see so many people in the county supporting the schools, there’s no reason for trepidation at all. ” Wakefield School Programs And Facilities Slated For Improvements As School Enrollment Grows By ALEX PHILIPPIDIS Rappahannock Ncm Staff Writer Wakefield School teacher Ron McRaw will be giving more than a hoot about The Hoot when classes resume next month. “Wakefield has outstanding students fully capable of producing an award-winning newspaper,” he said. McRae—an author and former contributor to Jack Anderson’s nationally syndicated column—will serve as faculty sponsor for The Hoot and have final say over the newspaper’s content. McRae has promised students a newspaper professionally written and printed. The latter made possible by the father of sixth grader Ryan Vigurie—conservative fundraiser and columnist Richard Vigurie. The Hoot isn’t the only aspect of life at Wakefield slated for improvement this school year. Facilities for the school’s athletic, library, typing and computer programs should improve the floor space for them increase as a new multi-purpose building now under construction will be completed by January. School headmaster Bill Lynn said the new building would double the amount of floor space now enjoyed by Wakefield. He added that floor space to be emptied by the transfer of facilities to the new building would be converted to classrooms. According to a newsletter distributed to students and alumni, classes in physics, computer science and typing will be held in the new building when school reopens September 10. “But some finishing touches, including a stage in the gymnasium, may take until January 1, 1985,” the newsletter reported. Improvement is also slated for many of Wakefield’s already rigorous academic programs. Lynn said students in grades 8-12 will now have to take a full school year of typing instruction. An additional 10 computers were recently purchased, giving the school a total of 16 computers, he added. And McRae—Wakefield’s assistant English department chairman— has drawn up what he called “a very, very demanding composition curriculum” for students beyond the sixth grade. Under the new curriculum, eighth graders will be taught how to write business letters and ‘invertedpyramid’ news stories, while ninth graders will be required to write a book chapter or 4,000-6,000 word magazine article to be researched months in advance. Eleventh and twenth graders will have to know all previously taught skills—and learn word processing and interview techniques as well. McRae said the new curriculum “is probably more demanding than the requirements for a Bachelor’s degree in the best universities. “It’s more than what I had to take at Dartmouth.” McRae is one of eight new teachers hired by Wakefield for the new school year. The other seven are: Lee Buratti, junior English; Margaret Doyle, United States Government (formerly called civics); Edith L. Drosselmeyer, third grade; Fransi Dunagan, biology; Kay Larrieu; Latin and Greek; Sandra Mitchell, sixth grade; Barbara Todd, general math and algebra. Also new to Wakefield this school year will be “about 20 students,” according to the newsletter. The new students boost the school’s enrollment to roughly 400 students—the highest student enrollment in Wakefield’s 12year history, despite what the newsletter termed “increasingly stringent admissions policies.” Some of those students will join a new chapter of SADD—Students Against Drunk Driving—to be organized at the school by Daphne Hutchinson, former Rappahannock News editor/genera! manager. The chapter will receive materials aimed at promoting greater awareness of drunk driving by younger motorists. If Lynn has his way with state education officials, Wakefield students will soon be able to compete in academic contests testing skills in different subjects. “Our feeling is that our youngsters have good abilities” in areas such as mathematics, English, French, science and history, the headmaster said. “We want them to use their skills, their abilities in areas of academics.” He added the contests would complement what students learn in the classroom at the school—an education including required study of froeign languages, as well as plenty of reading and writing. “It’s kind of a rigorous program. It isn’t meant for every child.” Honor Students Return To RCHS The following is a list of Rappahannock High students who made the Honor Roll for the ’83’84 school year: Grade 8 (Rising 9th) • Roy Alther, April Adams, Kelly Brown, Dana Cloud, Michael Dunn, Guy Foster, Godfrey Freeman, Randy Jenkins, Leslie Nichols, Sean Wayland.

Rappahannock News Photo/Alex Philippidis John Dodson, Patrick Coffey, Tony Clark and Ronnie Atkins (left rear) get in shape for the upcoming cross-country season at team practices. Cross Country For Rappahannock, It’s Going To Be A Rebuilding Year Bv ALEX PHILIPPIDIS RaptahMmeliNm Staff Write A little after 6 p.m. most weeknights, a dozen or so young joggers trot past Rappahannock County High School on to Route 211, from which they continue a seven-mile pace taking them past Gid Brown Hollow—before returning to RCHS inside a pickup truck. “We’re just trying to get in shape a little bit,” said Ann Spieker, coach of the high school’s cross country team. “So far, we’re not too bad off.” Neither was last year’s performance, a first-place Bull Run District record of 12-1 in regular season action, plus a third-place finish in the ‘A’ state cross country championship out of 24 competing schools. But the Panthers’ ‘A’ state win was led by Scott Keithley’s fourth place finish in the championship race. Keithley graduated last spring, as did Chris Caperton, Craig Kenyon and David Dodson—four of Rappahannock’s strongest runners last season. Rebuilding Year “Five of our top seven guys graduated last year” said Spieker, who added that much of her team this season consists of freshmen and sophomores. “We’re going to be rebuilding this year,” she added. A cornerstone in the coach’s rebuilding efforts will be senior Ronnie Atkins, a team member since his freshman year in 1981. “He’s a real good runner,” said Spieker. “He running strong right now. He should be our number one finisher.” Atkins emphasizes the team’s situation this year: “We’re all in the same boat,” he said. “If one of us messes up, you know then (a race) can be lost for us all.” While Spieker said she isn’t yet sure who she expects to have as her remaining strong finishers, she mentioned four prospects—sophomores Todd Williams, John Dodson, Patrick Coffey and Johnathan Watson—as possibilities. “They should take the place of those who graduated,” the coach said. Another strong possibility is senior Ricky Shaw, also with the team since his freshman year. Spieker said she’d know more about her lineup by next week, when some players will have finished summer jobs and returned to school. By that time, she added, team practices will include timed races and should be attended by “at least 20 boys and maybe five girls.” As of Tuesday, “13 or 14” cross country runners have been showing up at practices, which started last week. ‘Work Real Hard’ For the Panthers to match or beat their third place championship mark this season, Spieker said, they would have to overcome a strong Strasburg effort and an improving Stonewall Jackson team. “Jackson was a young team last year,” she said. “They may be comfortable for us to compete against.” She added that roster rebuilding at several schools—including defending ‘A’ state champion Buffalo Gap— could help Rappahannock finish as strongly this season as it did in 1963. But for one team member, a good showing this season also involves taking things easy. “I have the right to take a day off,” said Dodson, who admits he sometimes cuts comers in practice runs with the team. Dodson—called the team clown by some of his fellow Panthers, explained: “I work real hard.” Girls9 Basketball District Championship Within Reach, Rappahannock Coach Says By ALEX PHILIPPIDIS Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer For Rappahannock County High School girls basketball coach Greg Waters, last year’s Bull Run District record of 6-6 is only a starting point. “I’ve got 11 players, all of whom could play,” he said. “All of them have talent. Some have a great deal of talent. If they can mesh well on the court, a district championship isn’t out of the question.” Whether Waters and the Lady Panthers can make the playoffs will depend in part on the seasons of three returning players—Natalie Butler, Connie Compton and Karen Jordan. Jordan, who made last year’s alldistrict first team, racked up 192 points last season—an average of 12.8 points per game, grabbed 91 rebounds and shot 65.6 percent from the free-throw line. “She has lots of talent,” Waters said, “and a lot of court sense. But you can’t win games on one person. ” Jordan, Butler and Compton are I NOTICE Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Virginia Code Section 15.1-536, that the regular September meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will be held on Monday, September 10, 1984, at 10:00 o'clock A M. in the Courthouse at Washington, Virginia.

Rt. 29 South of Culpeper • 547-3700 expected to match or beat their strong showings last year—when the team finally broke into the win column after a winless 0-12 season in 1982. “They could be my three strong forwards all year,” the coach said. But Waters seems to feel less sure about his guards: “It’s a big question right now. They could be a problem.” While he said two of his guard prospects this year—returning players Penny Atkins and Wendy Stringfellow—were both “very capable,” he added that because they were young and getting more playing time this season than last, “they have not had that much pressure against them yet. So far. Waters said, the two have been able to "set up plays and move on fast breaks” in practice sessions. The Lady Panthers open their season at home against Warren County August 30. The remaining practices—as well as two away scrimmages against William Monroe High and James Monroe High “will tell me a lot about who performs well under actual game situations,” Waters said. The practices and scrimmages also will test two other team veterans, Marlena Jenkins and Joy Starks. Both should get more playing time this season, he added. Rounding out the roster, as of Tuesday, were four rookies whom Waters worked with last year when he was junior varsity coach at RCHS. The four—Tammy Butler, Roslyn Cook, Charlotte McGee, and Wendy Coffee— are expected to fill the sneakers of Donna Atkins, Kim Settle and Melissa Turner, three of last year’s high scorers lost to graduation. “They turned in good performances in JV last year,” Waters said. “They should do the same this year. ’’ The team, now 11 players strong, can still use a few more strong members, the coach added. “I hope to get more when school begins.” So far, team practices have concentrated on sharpening defensive skills, with emphasis on the fast break—part of Waters’ strategy this season. “I had them run fast breaks the other day,” he recalled. “They did pretty good—better than I expected. But I’ve learned that practices and games are two different things,” The team will also have to play tough ball to emerge as a threat to the Strasburg Rams, last year’s district champions. The Rams last year finished 12-0 in the Bull Run standings, 19-1 in overall play. “Everybody in the district is pretty tough,” Waters said, “especially Strasburg and Clarke.” The Lady Panthers ended their regular season last year by beating Clarke 65-54 October 27. ' mg* Waters Mid he hopes the rebuilding at other district contenders will hop RCHS top last year’s 6-6 Bull Run record, and make him a winner in his rookie season as varsity coach. * “We had a good season last year,” Water said. “We’re on the upswing, now. I think we can do better than 66.” A big reason for the coach’s optimism is what he called the enthusiasm of his players. “Everybody wants to play, and ev erybody is going to play. No one’s going to ride the bench all year.” For now, Waters said, he’ll work 1' strengthening the Lady Panthers and try to “grow with the team.” “If we can pool our skills together, we got a team that can win a lot of games, or put heat on the champions, at least. That’s what I’m hoping for,” he added. ' ' “I think the girls are going to try hard, break some records,” said the coach. “It should be an interesting year.” I Levi's r JEANSWEAR <s> SUPER SAVINGS ON AMERICA’S FAVORITE JEANS CHOOSE FROM DENIM OR CORDUROY STYLES & SIZES FOR MEN & BOYS 12 99 r?r «■ 14.99 14.99 STUDENT & HUSKY SIZES MEN’S SIZES Us« Your Peebles Charge Card, Visa, MasterCard or Choice. you'll like the way we feel oeno d noc itbio y •’ lot two ' K f ■ Royal Plaza Shopping Center Front Royal, Virginia 709-635-3101 fjs 5 ■ w

Timely drafting of bid documents became even more important to keeping the project moving, Cilimberg explained, when James P. Jamieson told Cilimberg he needed bid documents in order to help market grant-anticipation notes for the project. “Grant anticipation” is a means whereby the Authority will borrow upfront money to pay invoices in a timely manner while awaiting EPA and Housrr ing and Urban Development (HUD) funds which, in combination, will pay for the project. Chairman Dennis asked Cilimberg to contact the State Water Control Board in regard to the schedule change. He also said the Authority needed a formal letter from the engineering firm, signed by the engineer, to commit them to exact dales for the project. The Authority, however, will not enter into final contract, member James White said, until “after we know we’ve got the (EPA) extention.” Grant Anticipation Safe Baumgardner discussed a letter from McGuire, Woods & Battle, bond counsel for the project, assuring Authority members a grant-anticipation loan for the project would not cause debt to Rappahannock County and its taxpayers should EPA default on reimbursement.

Authority meetings will start at 7:30 p.m. Letters (Continued from Page 5) He stated that it was a conflict of interest. Why isn’t Mr. McNear’s position considered a conflict of interest? I only saw one member of the Board of Supervisors present—Nelson Lane. You are to be commended, Mr. Lane, for attending. Shame on the others for not attending. They are ducking their responsibilities. I reside in Jackson District. Mr. Richard latham is the supervisor that represents the Jackson District. I did not see you, Mr. Latham, at the meeting. If you were there and I did not see you, I apologize. If you were not present at a meeting as important as this one to the residents of Jackson District, where were you? I am sure that when the voters of the Jackson District go to the polls next time you are up for reelection, you will be given the opportunity to ask, “Where are the voters that will reelect me?” You should certainly have been present for discussion on an ordinance that affects the residents of the Jackson District as much as this one. The next time the Planning Commission has a public hearing, Mr. Latham, I expect to see you in attendance. VIVIAN N.
