Zoning Referendum Bill Killed By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock New» Staff Writer A bill that would grant the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County authority to have an advisory referendum on zoning was “passed by indefinitely” by a committee of the General Assembly on February 4. The bill, whose patron was Delegate Raymond “Andy” Guest (R), would have allowed the supervisors to call a referendum on the question: “Shall Rappahannock County keep its present zoning ordinance?” Delegate Ouest introduced the legislation at the request of the Rappahannock Public Action Committee (RPAC) whose leaders presented him with a petition signed by 1054 residents of the county. The petition urged that the proposed zoning ordinance be tabled in favor of the 1973 ordinance now in use. Reached by phone, Guest said he did not like to interfere with local government, referring to the fact that RPAC did not route their proposal through the supervisors, in a sense by Hog Heaven r i —Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp . A mid-day nap in the warm sunshine seems to be all that these two need to be content. passing them. But, due to the large number of people who signed the petition (24 percent of the adult pop. of Rappahannock), Guest made an exception and introduced the legislation. Before doing so, however, he did inform the supervisors by letter of RPAC’s request and of his intent to comply with it. He asked the supervisors for their “feelings” on the matter. Then on January 21 Guest presented the bill to the General Assembly; that day it was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. On the 29th the bill was assigned to a subcommittee and on February 4 the bill was “passed by indefinitely.” That phrase, according to Senator Kevin Miller, means the bill is dead. Asked why the bill failed, Guest described a face-off between himself and the committee, from which neither would back down. The committee, he said, persisted in its request that the result of the referendum bind the supervisors. For the referendum to have any meaning, committee members argued, it would have to be binding. Guest reaffirmed his position that the referendum be advisory, reminding committee members of RPAC’s and his own wishes to respect the ultimate authority of the supervisors. The bill’s fate was sealed when Guest told the committee that the referendum would be “advisory or nothing” and the committee chose the latter. RPAC’s temporary chairman, Ron Frazier, said in a phone conversation that he supported Guest’s opposition to a binding referendum, which “would remove legislative authority from the supervisors.” “We wanted it (the referendum) to be advisory only,” said Frazier, adding that they (RPAC) thought it would be easier to get through the General Assembly that way. Frazier disagreed with the committee’s verdict that an advisory referendum would be meaningless. “I can’t see how that would be meaningless,” said Frazier, citing the possibility of a “silent majority” being discovered through an advisory referendum. Then Frazier spoke of a majority that he believed was beginning to be heard. “A majority of the neODle are not satisfied with the proposed zoning ordinance...(these people) want less regulation placed upon them.” Speaking for himself, Frazier said we don’t need the unnecessary regulation, reiterating his belief that places of worship should be allowed by right and that, generally, the proposed zoning ordinance over-regulates land use. Frazier admitted that the proposed ordinance is more liberal in spots than the 73 ordinance, but he noted that overall it is more restrictive, and that is why he opposes it. The problem, Frazier suggests, is that the proposed zoning ordinance is modeled after Fauquier County’s zoning ordinance, which is suited to a rapidly developing county and, accordingly, is very restrictive. Frazier said that RPAC had been trying to work closely with the planning commissioners so that they might “see things our way.” But, he added, “The Planning Commission believes that excessive regulation is the way to go right now." When asked what RPAC’s next step would be, Frazier said he could not speak for the group since its members had not yet met to discuss future actions. He did, though, affirm his own desire to pursue the matter further. Asked to specify, he said he would like to approach the issue of if referendum on zoning again next year, by once again working to push a proposal through the General Assembly. In assessing how a bill on referendum might fare better at the General Assembly next year, Frazier referred to legislation that specifically allows Rappahannock to hold a referendum on the method of selecting school board members. This legislation allows a referendum to be held if at least 15 percent of those who voted in the last presidential election sign a petition calling for the referendum. Then the petition must be presented to the circuit court judge. Delegate Guest, when asked in a phone conversation about the prospects of a referendum bill on zoning passing next year, said “I think it (zoning) is becoming less of an issue.” That was according to discussions and public (Continued on Paee 14) Ground Breaking Ceremony For Sewage System In Sperryville Set For March 4 By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority scheduled the long awaited groundbreaking ceremony for the Sperryville Sewage System for March 4 at 2 p.m. The Authority members decided during their meeting on February 7 to invite U.S. Senators Trible and Warner, Congressman French Slaughter, Governor Charles S. Robb, State Attorney General Gerald Baliles, Senator Kevin Miller, Delegate Raymond “Andy” Guest and the Board of Supervisors to the ceremony. The WSA also discussed final preparations for the system during their meeting. Doug Baumgardner, legal counsel for the Authority, advised the members that condemnation proceed ings on a piece of land belonging to Roy Alther will begin. A comer of Alther’s land is needed for access to the plant site. Authority members voted to appropriate funds for the filing of the certificate of condemnation of the Alther land, and for the filing of any other certificates if necessary for easements for the collection lines. When the certificate is filed in the County Clerk’s office, the WSA will have title to the land. The landowner can then accept the appraised value of the land, try to negotiate the value, or can take the matter into circuit court to have a condemnation commission determine the fair value of the land. The Authority would have 60 days after the completion of the project to file a petition with Has The Flu Got You? Bv JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In case anyone hasn’t noticed, the flu is making its presence known by dealing out its usual assortment of pains and aches. The result: people everywhere are feeling downright lousy. The Washington Post reports that a host of viral diseases generally termed “flu” seems to have converged on the D.C. area. But doctors and public health officials there say the epidemic of genuine influenza that has seized 10 Western states has not yet appeared in Washington, D.C. Note the “yet.” “The term “flu” has become a wastebasket word, according to Dr. John De Simone, vice chairman of emergency medicine at Greater Southeast Community Hospital in D.C., the Post also reports. “There’s a whole spectrum of viral illnesses out there...and the “Philippine” flu is just one of them.” Dr. Jerry Martin of the Rappahannock Medical Center reported that he had been seeing anywhere from 5 to 10 people a day with flu symptoms. That number is “much higher” than in previous years for Dr. Martin. In addition to fevers running from 101 to 103, Dr. Martin noted some of the symptoms that he had been encountering in patients: head and muscle aches, chills, nausea and vomiting. The problem is, there really is no cure for the flu, and so Dr. Martin treats his patients “symptomatically.” That is, he relieves their symptoms in whatever way he can. If a person has a cough, the cough is treated; if muscles ache, then the ache is treated. Dr Martin prescribes a drug called “Symmetrel” to about one in four people with the flu. The drug shortens the duration of the disease. But since Dr. Martin is hesitant about exposing anyone to the possible side effects of a drug, he prescribes Symmetrel sparingly. Normally he gives it to flu patients who are vulnerable to complications or to those who suffer from severe symptoms. Symmetrel may also be taken as preventive medicine. While admitting that not a lot can be done about the flu, Dr. Martin did offer a couple tips to help guard against it: 1) Avoid contact with those who have the flu, and 2) Don’t share eating utensils. Officials at the High School, Elementary School, and Wakefield all report normal absentee rates, so the flu seems to be sparing the county’s youth. the court to empanel the condemnation commissioners. Baumgardner told the Authority members that the State Code gives the same powers of eminent domain to the WSA as to the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. “The Authority does not anticipate the necessity of condemnation suits since we are hoping that the land will be donated or the owners will accept the appraised value offer,” Baumgardner said. The Alther property will have to be acquired before February 13 when the contract with Buckley-Lages of Winchester for the collection system will be signed and the notice to proceed (Continued on Page 14) •sappanannock News Photo-Jon Kalveitamp An icy river winds its way through winter. -

Wakefield School Dedicates New Gymnasium By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer What began as a dream in 1979 was realized Saturday, February 9 as , Wakefield School in Huntly dedicated its new gymnasium. It was in 1979 that the trustees of the school voted to build a gymnasium, but four more years passed before headmaster William E. Lynn, Jr. presided over ground-breaking ceremonies for the new facility that had been expanded to include classrooms, labs and a library to accommodate the growing enrollment. The dedication ceremonies began with the Invocation by Reverend Maurice du Castillon of St. Peter’s Mission in Washington, Va. Lynn then welcomed the guests including Seton Hall School, against whom the afternoon’s basketball game would be played. Athletic Director Hunt Harris noted that Seton Hall was an appropriate opponent for the day as Wakefield’s basketball team had played their first game ever against Seton Hall in 1982. Lynn continued his remarks with thanks to the many people who had made the gymnasium possible. Special thanks were given to architect Michael Lysczek of Washington, D.C. who designed the 17,000 square foot gymnasium to compliment the original school buildings rather than overpower them, and to Gregory Monahan of Boston, Va. who oversaw the construction. The ceremony continued with speeches by Student Body President, Doug Brooks, and Parent’s Association,, member Tim Tarr. Tarr pledged support to the “expanding opportunity” that Wakefield School represents. The National Anthem was played, and the colors were presented by Charlotte Cannon of Culpeper and Allen Grimm of Front Royal. Accompanying them was Wakefield’s Fife and Drum Corps. Fife and Drum members were Matthew Lynn of Washington, Va., Malcom McCurry of Strasburg! Christopher Sciurba of Sperryville[ and Chuck Williams of Warrenton. A reception for guests and students followed the ceremonies. Wakefield Basketball By HELEN KUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Wakefield Owls hosted Seton School of Manassas for two basketball games on Saturday, February 9 that marked the dedication of the school’s new gymnasium. In the junior varsity game, Wakefield used a balanced scoring attack to beat a well-drilled Seton team 43-19. Wakefield shot almost 50 percent from the field led once again by David Rowzie with 11 points. Larry Tarr, Ed McGushin, Lee Poore and Nick Longerbeam provided additional scoring power. Seton Hall’s team played a wellexecuted game providing an interest ing challenge to the taller Wakefield players. In the varsity game, Wakefield played evenly against Seton during the first quarter but the well-disciplined Seton team, led by the Vander Woude brothers, opened up the game and led 35 to 22 at the half. During the final quarter of play, Wakefield played an aggressive game and was able to narrow the gap, but Seton prevailed and won 62-48. Impressive performances were turned in by Steve and Danny Vander Woude who scored a total of 46 points for Seton. Wakefield’s Joey Tisinger and Russell Rowzie scored 14 points each for the Owls.

Goings On In The Arts Bledsoe And Kirby Create Musical Heritage By TUTT STAPP-HARRIS RAAC Tom Bledsoe and Rich Kirby, the nationally acclaimed performers of Southern mountain music who will by playing the tunes for the Old-time Country Valentine’s Dance this Friday at 8 p.m. at the Sperryville Fire Hall, create and recreate music that has a rich heritage. Bledsoe and Kirby grew up in the mountains of Virginia and Kentucky and learned the ways of traditional music from their parents and grandpain Loving Memory of Golden Sealock on his birthday, February 17. Who passed away April 21,1984. Have you ever lost a loved one who was very dear to you? One you loved so very much and miss him like we do; Have you ever known the heartache or ever felt the pain Or ever wept those bitter tears that drop like falling rain? If you’ve never had those feelings then I pray you never do. For when Jesus takes a loved one, he takes a part of you. Sadly missed, Thelma and Family rents. In addition to bluegrass, the two musicians play ragtime, western swing, 60’s rock and roll and Fats Waller. Their work draws upon their roots. The dance for which Bledsoe and Kirby will perform also draws upon a rich tradition of country dances in Rappahannock’s roots. Early in the county’s history, when the hardships of travel and the strenuous work of country living kept people close to home, neighborhood dances were the main source of entertainment, and were occasions to be savored. “Of course everybody was friends in those days, you know. You knew everybody around for miles. The whole hollow was almost like a family,” said Alice Beahm, who was interviewed by county oral historian Cathy Kiley in her research for last year’s dramatic production “Voices of Rappahannock.” “How we spent our time on weekends, it was mostly the families all around you would gather at one of the houses.” Raymond Johnson, who was bom and raised on Red Oak Mountain, also remembered the community gatherings. “We’d work ’til six or six-thirty, come home and eat supper, and walk three or four miles to a party. Dance ’til one or two o’clock, then walk home, start work again the next morning. I’d say we would be fortunate enough to have one or two a week...so it was fun, and that was all we knew, so we didn’t yearn for the city life.” Florence Burke recalled the special holiday dances. “Any holiday we always had a dance at some of our neighbors’ house. If they didn’t have a OUR JOB is to help you make and save money. Q.

We started dancing about five o’clock and dance ’til about eight o’clock Sunday morning. It was a lot of fun...My grand-daddy would call the figures, you know, and when you got on the floor he’d holler, ‘Partners in places like horses to the races...’ and then you talk about swinging, we’d really swing.” Music for the dances was provided by community members—anyone who happened to have a fiddle or banjo along and felt like playing. “There used to be several people in the community that were real good with violins,” said Raymond Johnson. “And there were two of them that I can remember especially that would play the mockingbird song. They could actually make the bird sing on the thing.” One man who remembers playing the mockingbird song himself is Stant Weaver of Washington. He was the leader of his neighborhood’s get-togethers, and the Friday night dances were held in his family home where his parents had also had dances. Stant is a self-taught musician~“I didn’t learn it in school, that’s for sure. I reckon I had talent.” His family bought an organ when he was 10 years old, and he began to practice right away. “I had sense enough to know that you had to play a piece all the way through or you wouldn’t learn anything-You wouldn’t improve. I stuck with it." “With his appetite for music whetted, he soon acquired a violin and learned to fiddle; next, he taught himself to play guitar. Stant recalled a fiddler whom he remembered simply as Grigsby, who influenced his own playing greatly as a young man. “We’d play ‘Under the Double Eagle’ and ‘Mockingbird’-He was old (at least he seemed old to me then) but he could play.

Rappahannock Lions Club will expand its Bland Music Contest categories beyond the present vocal and instrumental featuring classical and semi-classical music to include a country ballad category. The contest is scheduled to take place on February 24 at 3 p.m. at the elementary school. “It is hoped that this will provide an opportunity for wider student participation in an area of music that is growing in popularity,” said Maurice Herndon, chairman of the local Bland committee. “This new category is a local contest only at this time, but if there is widespread interest shown in the category by Rappahannock students then it will be made a permanent local program in the future and we would try to get state acceptance.” The first place winner in the new category will receive a $25 U.S. savings bond, and the second place winner will receive $10 cash. First place winners in the other two categories will receive $75 savings bonds, second place winners will receive $50 bonds, third place winners will receive $25 bonds and fourth place winners will receive $15 cash. High school winners in the two categories will compete on the state level for a total of $7,400 in scholarships. The contestants will be judged on their performances faithfulness to the score, on technique, interpretation, stage presence, the complexity of the selection and memory. This year’s judges will be Cathy Knuepfer who received her musical training at the University of Michigan and the Bach Choral Society and other singing groups in California, Barbara Shermen who received her degree in music at Michigan State University and has been the pianist for a number of concerts and musicals in the county, James Wood who studied organ at the American University in Washington, D.C. and has been a much sought after church organist and Elisabeth Johnson who is a former organist and choir director.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation < __ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1985 Referendum Calling The Rappahannock Public Action Committee (RPAC) recently has asked that a referendum be called to settle the dispute over what to do with the proposed zoning ordinance: drop it or use it. RPAC’s request for a referendum gained strength with the weight of 1054 signatures behind it. That is the number of people (24 percent of Rappahannock’s adult pop.) who signed a petition opposing the proposed zoning ordinance. This show of numerical strength was enough to persuade Delegate Raymond “Andy” Guest to go along with RPAC’s request that he introduce legislation allowing Rappahannock’s supervisors to call for a referendum on zoning. Accordingly Guest introduced a bill at the General Assembly, but the bill failed in committee on February 4. Still, with the thought of referendum fresh in people’s minds, it is well to ask “Is it a good idea, in general, to have a referendum?” We say no. By calling for a referendum, a call is made to change horses in the middle of a stream, that is, to make a quick switch of governments. Referendum is within the realm of pure democracy where everything is voted on by everyone all the time. Granted, referendum deals only with one issue or even with one point, but all the same, it is a form of pure democracy. The point is, referendum belongs to a type of government that is distinctly different from our own. Within a representative form of government such as ours, a call for a referendum puts our elected officials in an awkward position. To them it signifies that the people, who entrusted them with the role to govern, are temporarily revoking their license to govern. This is a breach of trust -- the breaking of a pact. In electing representatives to manage government affairs for us, we give up the right to rule directly at our pleasure. That is not so bad. With their ultimate authority, the people still have many ways to influence government.

Concerning School Prayer To the editor: In response to the Rappahannock News interview with Richard Viguerie in last week’s paper concerning his comments on prayer in our public schools, I would like to remind Mr. Viguerie that there is no law on record that prohibits a child from praying when he or she desires. What the law does prohibit, Engel vs. Vitale 370 U.S. 421, 1962, is that government written prayers shall not be required. It is stretching the imagination to think that you can have voluntary prayer with a captive audience. Furthermore, all prayer is ultimately voluntary and the 1962 amendment never genuinely prohibited prayer. Thirdly, my concern as a Christian minister reClarification Last week’s paper incorrectly quoted Wayne Cilimberg, Executive Director of the Planning District Nine Commission, as saying that Rappahannock County has an agreement with Culpeper County to dispose of sludge. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Page Moffett, an Eagle Scout of Washington Troop 64, has been chosen from the Shenandoah Area Council of Boy Scouts to attend a meeting and historic tour in Richmond Friday and Saturday. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Warrant Officer PI Lee Thornton of Sperryville has received his discharge from the U.S. Army after more than four years of active service. Mr. Thornton has been awarded two D.F.C. medals and two Bronze Stars; an Air Medal with a V Device and an Army Commendation with a V Device; a Purple Heart and Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. He has received 46 Air Medals and an Expeditionary Medal. garding this issue is that religion not be trivialized by making it a routine compulsory school activity. In reference to this Justice John Stevens, speaking to the American Bar Association in the spring of 1982, warned that passing a school prayer amendment would make prayer a compelled ritual, “thus robbing prayer of its individual and personal expression. We should not expect the public schools to provide religious education for our children for that is the job of Christian parents and churches.” It is a perilous thing to expect government, something you want less of, to legislate religion. Reverend Steven N. Scoggin The agreement, which is informal, is between Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) and the town of Culpeper. Also, the agreement pertains only to future sludge produced by the Sperryville sewage plant. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Sperryville plant will be on March 4.

What Rappahannock Needs To the editor: For the Board of Supervisors to announce publicly in January that they were asking the commonwealth's attorney to frame a resolution or ordinance banning the spreading of human sludge on Rappahannock fields and then to back down from this decision and temporize at their February meeting may prove to be most unfortunate. This action will surely convey to the officers of Biogro and other ‘honey dippers’ an impression of weakness and indecision as to our determination to protect the public health of our county from their greedy onslaughts. I urge the supervisors to adopt an ordinance or resolution at their next meeting along the following lines: “The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, lacking sufficient and creditable evidence to the contrary, is concerned that the application of human sludge to lands in this county may pose a threat to local public health and have a negative impact on the environment of the county. Therefore, be it resolved that, for the time being and pending further action by this Board on the subject, such application of human sludge to land in Rappahannock county is banned and prohibited.” (Text to be modified as required by legal advice acceptable to the supervisors but with the general sense and intent remaining intact). Some supervisors, anticipating the problem of disposal of the sludge generated by the Sperryville sewer, are afraid to nail the door shut just now. But if it is later determined that, in fact, the Sperryville sludge spread on Rappahannock fields would justify the same public health concerns, then the prohibition should remain in effect, with Some other safe means of disposal, such as burial, implemented. If, on the other hand, it is later determined conclusively that the Sperryville sludge is safe to spread on the county’s land, the supervisors will have time to structure a suit-proof amendment to the ordinance. (This is truly a case for the supervisors, after acting good legal advice, to say, “Sue and be damned”). What is not tolerable is for the health of all 6,000 inhabitants of this county to be endangered solely because of Sperryville’s sewer problems. They shouldn’t have to pay for it nor should they be endangered by it. And we should not fear, because we don’t have the guts, even though we have the legislative power, to throw down the gauntlet and say unequivocally “NO!” to these litigious and unconscionable “honey dippers” who would invade our county with their filthy business, even if every man and woman in the county objected. Robert W. Eastham Reply To Mr. Viguerie To the editor: The editor’s interview with Mr. Viguerie was certainly interesting and should he be nominated for lieutenant governor, it will make for challenging debates this fall. There are many areas one can agree or disagree with Mr. Viguerie, but I would like to address just one area that continuously baffles me when I listen to the new right rhetoric. May I quote Mr. Viguerie, “Government doesn’t produce anything. We need to get Government basically out of the way.” But in almost the same breath he wants the government involved in our most intimate thoughts and actions of our lives. He wants prayers in public schools. If religious freedom is to endure in America, the responsibility for teaching religion to public school children must be left to the homes and churches or our land where this responsibility rightfully belongs. May I quote former Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., “The history of nations makes this truth manifest: when religion controls government, political freedom dies; and when government controls religion, religious freedom perishes.” The other issue that Mr. Viguerie wants the Government involved in is the right of the woman to choose what she does with her body. As a physician in practice for 26 years, I have had to counsel many women about the pros and cons of an abortion. How can a government force a woman to have a child that is the result of forcible rape or incest? How can a Government that reduces support for school lunches, immunizations and maternal care force a woman to have a child that is known to have genetic or congenital abnormalities and then wash their hands of support when the deformed fetus is bom? Mr. Viguerie, if you want less government, apply it to all facets of life, and let a woman make her own choice and let us er\joy religious freedom, our most precious freedom. Werner Krebser, M.D. From Both Barrels What History Should Teach Virginia Democrats By GEORGE BOWLES The philosopher George Santayana made an observation early in this century which present-day Virginia Democrats might do well to take to heart. Said that peripatetic sage, “Those who fail to remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Judging from events at the Democratic State Central Committee meeting a fortnight ago and the general temper of the campaign for the party’s nomination for governor, it would appear that a crash course in the Democrats’ recent history would be in order if the melancholy result of which Santayana warned is to be avoided. The candidates vying for the gubernatorial nod are Lt. Gov. Richard Davis of Portsmouth and Attorney General Gerald Battles of Richmond. Both are well qualified philosophically and professionally for the high office they seek. Both men are moderates well within the rather foggily defined “mainstream of Virginia political thought.” Neither is so far to the left that he could be accurately or fairly tagged with the fatal liberal label or so far to the right that he could be called a remnant of Virginia’s segregationist past. There are, to be sure, differences between them, but that is not the subject of this piece. That subject is the ominous parallel which Virginia Democrats should be able to discern between the way their gubernatorial campaign is shaping up and the disastrous Democratic presidential effort of last year. Just as it was with the party’s presidential candidates during the early months of 1984, strategists for the gubernatorial candidates are now at each others’ throats in a way which could make reconciliation extremely difficult once the nominating process is over. The nominee will be formally chosen at the party’s state convention in the Richmond Coliseum on June 7-8. The issue may very well be all but settled, however, at the party caucuses (formerly called mass meetings) which will be held in each city and county on March 30 and April 1. At these caucuses delegates will be elected who may be committed to vote for one of the two hopefuls on the first ballot, or elected as uncommitted. Since there are only two candidates, there will likely be only one ballot, so the election of favorable slates at the caucuses is vital for both camps. And both camps are going after the delegates as though the outcome in June will not just determine who wins the Democratic nomination for governor, but the governorship itself. The charges and countercharges have been every bit as biting and acrimonious as those hurled by last year’s presidential hopefuls. Because Davis received the AFL-CIO endorsement, the Battles camp charged that Davis was, in effect, in the pocket of labor, although Battles had sought the labor endorsement himself. When a Battles aide alleged Davis had purchased the endorsement with a pledge to support public employee collective bargaining, the enusing explosion from Davis almost wrecked the party’s JeffersonJackson Day “Unity” Dinner. It took the intervention of state party Chairman Alan Diamonstein to cool down the two candidates and quiet the ruckus. At the State Central Committee meeting, the well-organized Davis forces devastated the fragmented Baliles partisans with a succession of victories on procedural questions concerning the nomination procedure. And then they went further and dictated the at-large membership of the convention committees. Infuriated Baliles supporters temporarily walked out of the meeting in an effort to stop the rout by destroying the meeting’s quorum. They failed, and the whole affair was a clear Davis triumph. It is doubtful, however, that it was a Democratic party triumph. It was a case where a little magnanimity on the part of the Davis troops on a few issues might have served to lessen the pain of some people who, if Davis wins the nomination, will be desperately needed in the big push against his Republican opponent next fall. In yet another parallel to the national campaign, Davis, regarded by some as the front runner at this point, is obviously relying heavily on the party’s organized constituency groups to get his people out to the caucuses in order to vote for and elect his delegates. For that limited purpose, it is a sound strategy. But in pursuing it, Davis risks suffering Walter Mondale’s handicap of being tagged as the candidate of special interests by both his Democratic opponent for the nomination, and most assuredly by his GOP opponent in November should he be the nominee. As the Democrats found to their regret last year, many of these groups, such as organized labor, can be invaluable assets in securing the nomination, yet become millstones round the nominee’s neck once the general election campaign gets under way. It must also be said that on the Republican side of the hill, an equally or perhaps even more ferocious battle is taking place for the GOP gubernatorial nod. We will have more on that interesting situation later. But for the Democrats, such are the lessons and admonitions of the party’s recent past. It is, of course, not too late for the party’s strategists to learn from them and get their act together. But in order to do so, the hot-eyed loyalists in the candidates’ camps and party factions will have to realize that there is life beyond the state convention. Somehow, if the party is to be successful in holding the governor’s mansion, the strategists in the various campaigns must find ways to build, not burn, bridges between the party’s diverse factions and fiefdoms. At the same time they must find ways to build, not bum, bridges to the state’s vast pool of independent voters who hold the key to victory in any general election. If they fail on either count, as they did so miserably on both last year, as Santayana warned, November 1985 may be as bleak for Virginia Democrats as November 1984 was for Democrats across the land. J Credit Where It Is Due To the editor I’m sure I join with many people of Rappahannock in welcoming our distinguished new neighbor, Richard Viguerie. In reading the entertaining interview in last week’s News, it struck me that this might be an appropriate time to comment on one of Mr. Viguerie’s themes, by way of welcome, you might say. It is a simple theme, but very effective, that we need to get government off our backs in order for things to generally improve. Mr. Viguerie stated in the interview, “The reason that we have this great and wonderful country, the reason that we feed a third of the world, is because of free enterprise; it’s not because of government. Government doesn’t proauce anything. We need to get government basically out of the way.” We should look at the other important contributions to the freedom and excellent standard of living which we enjoy. These include the Magna Carta and the entire tradition of legal and political development which we inherited from England, upon which distinctly American features were constructed, including our constitution and representative form of government. Also consider our uniquely advantageous geographical position, generally benign climate and the storehouse of incredible natural wealth and resources which we took away from the indigenous peoples already here. All these things make possible the free enterprise ays tern as we have known it here in the United States. Without them, and without the successive waves of eager immigrant peoples who built the country, American free-market capitalism would not be what it is. Even given the great economic success of this free enterprise system, and the stimulus it provides individuals to create and build and succeed, it’s an unfortunate oversimlification to glorify the economic system for its certain successes, and to damn government of the people, which should be the true expression of the populace, and through its leaders from the people, should be the inspiration for all to achieve individual and collective greatness at home and abroad. I do believe that many government excesses and misguided policies have been, and will continue to be, exposed and changed. The greatness of our constitutional political system makes this possible. The government also must take leadership in controlling and correcting the not infrequent excesses of the private sector, which is too often without a better sense of morality because of this same preaching of the glory and supremacy of free enterprise capitalism that we have been talking about. Such ideas sometimes assume the proportions of a crusade of sorts, and we see that happening now. There needs to be a continuing dialogue on these points. David Chuse

muiMjay, Great Romances Remembered On Valentine’s Day By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Valentine’s Day, the day for love and romance, began in a distinctly unromantic way according to most sources. Jane M. Hatch wrote in The American Book of Days that there were at least two early Christian martyrs named Valentine associated with February 14, and that ceremonies done in remembrance of the martyrs slowly evolved until St. Valentine’s Day became a day for the celebration of love. The theories of how this evolution took place are varied. One is that there was a popular belief in the Middle Ages that the first day of mating for birds was February 14, which led to the day’s connection with love. Other theories are that the similarity between the Norman word galantin that means lover of women and Valentine led to confusion between the two, and that the modem observance of Valentine’s Day grew out of an ancient Roman custom. On the day before the Roman feast of the Lupercalia, the names of young women would be drawn from a box, and each young man would act for a year as the gallant for the young woman whose name he drew. At first, the couples would give gifts to each other, but later only the man would give a gift. St. Valentine’s Day customs in England date back to the 1400’s, and include beliefs such as that the first person met of the opposite sex on Valentine’s Day would be a person’s true BUSINESS SPACE FOR RENT Center of Washington, Virginia ALL SIZES Suitable for office store - shop - studio or storage CALL 703-675-3625 love. The only way to find out who the person would be was to sleep on a pillow with five bay leaves pinned to it. The custom of sending valentines began in the 17th century, and the first commercial valentine was produced in 1800. In the U.S., the custom reached its height around the time of the Civil War. Valentine’s Day has become a day for children to send valentines to their parents and friends in recent years, although the giving of candy and flowers is st 1 popular. By what ever twist of fate, St. Valentine’s Day has become the day to celebrate love, and to remember some of the more beautiful love stories from the past.

The first story is one found in My Rappahannock Story Book by Mary Elizabeth Hite. The story is written as an explanation of how Mary’s Rock above Thornton’s Gap was named. The legend begins with a beautiful “maid of the mountains” named Mary who lived at the base of the rock. She fell in love with a stranger who was traveling through the mountains. He stayed with her for a while, but left at the beginning of autumn. Every day, Mary would climb the rock and look in the direction that her sweetheart had gone until one day she was swept over the edge by the wind. People who lived on the mountain would say that they could see Mary dancing on her rock when the moon was full, and that the breeze through the pine trees was “Mary sighing for her faithless lover.” Many beautiful love stories came out of the dark days of the Civil War. One is written in Legends of the Skyline Drive and the Great Valley of Virginia by Carrie Hunter Willis and Etta Belle Walker. The story is about Belle Boyd, “one of the most beautiful women and one of the most famous spies in all history.” Belle lived in Martinsburg at the beginning of the Civil War, and after the m&h enlisted and left, Belle became bored. When Martinsburg was taken by Federal troops, Belle shot and killed a Union soldier who was insulting her mother. After she was acquitted, Belle devoted all of her time to assisting the Confederate Cause. After she had charmed Federal officers into telling her their plans, Belle would write them down and send them to General J.E.B. Stuart. She was arrested once when one of her letters was intercepted, but she was again freed. “Belle was undaunted. She not only continued to pick up valuable information, but she picked up small side arms and pistols and these, along with the information, found their way into the Southern lines.” When Belle was in Front Royal waiting to go to Richmond, she stayed in the same house as Union General Shields. The soldiers were in the room below Belle’s room making plans, and Belle heard every word through a hole in the closet floor. She listened and wrote down every word, left the house secretly, rode all night to deliver the information and made it back to Front Opthalmologist Locates In Culpeper Area Culpeper’s first full-time opthalmologist Dr. Russell Brear established his medical practice here January 14. Dr. Brear is the most recent in a long list of new physicians who have chosen Culpeper to raise their families and practice their specialties. A native of Pasadena, Texas, Dr. Brear graduated from the University of Texas in Austin and received his medical degree from the University of Texas at Houston. After completing an internship in family practice medicine, Dr. Brear was a family practioner for three years with the Public Health Service of San Antonio. To pursue his interest in opthalmology, Dr. Brear attended the Tulane University Medical School in New Orleans, where he completed a thr^e-year residency in this specialty. Providing a full range of opthalmology services, Dr. Brear’s practice will include routine eye examinations, eye glass prescriptions, contact lens fitting, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, and eye surgery. Having moved to Culpeper from New Orleans, Dr. Brear, his wife Holly, and two-year-old son Isaac are pleased to be here. “We chose Culpeper for a number of reasons,” says Dr. Brear. “We were attracted immediately by the friendliness and enthusiasm of everyone we met. Dr. Brear’s office is located at 702 South Main Street with office hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Royal before daylight. Belle had many adventures and narrow escapes, but in 1864 she set sail for England with important papers for Southern sympathizers there. The papers never made it to England, though, because the ship was captured by a Federal vessel. Here Belle’s, romance began with the lieutenant who commanded the Federal ship. On the way to Boston, Lieutenant Hardinge “quoted poetry from Shakespeare and Byron and before the the vessel reached Boston, Belle had given her heart and her promise to marry the lieutenant.” Belle was sent to Canada and told not to return to the U.S. during the war, and the lieutenant was arrested and charged with helping the captain of the Confederate ship to escape. Belle and the lieutenant found one another again in London, and were married. Hardinge was later arrested for being a deserter, was sent to prison, but Belle’s efforts and the end of the war freed him. Another story from the Civil War is found in A Treasury of Southern Folklore edited by B.A. Botkin. The story gives the reason why General Robert E. Lee would not attack Chatham during the war. When General Lee was in Fredericksburg the Federal commander had his headquarters in Chatham, but when he was urged to fire on the town General Lee would not because it is said that he remembered that he had courted his wife in Chatham, “and had not the heart to unloose his guns against it.” The same book also has the story of how another famous man, Daniel Boone, won the hand of his wife, Rebecca. Boone was hunting one day, according to the story, near the plantation of Mr. Morgan Bryan. He had dismounted and was moving forward when he saw two blue eyes staring from behind a thicket. Boone aimed his rifle, but did not shoot for some reason and the “deer” sprang away. He chased the running figure to the home of Mr. Bryan, and thought that the deer must have been a pet. Boone then went to the house where he met Mr. Bryan and was about to inquire about the deer when a boy of 10 ran into the room with a girl of 16. The boy told his father that his sister had been chased by a panther or some other creature when she had tried to set traps. By then, the “deer” and the “panther” had realized what had happened, and “that is how Rebecca Bryan became Rebecca Boone....” There are many other stories of love to be found in southern folklore, but this article will end with a story of enduring love that began with a Jffardis Gras long ago. At a Mardis Gras ball in the French Opera House, a young man from the East saw a beautiful Creole girl seated in the opposite balcony. Their eyes met, and he went out into the lobby where he was sure the girl would join him. The girl did come to the lobby, and she and the young man left together. Once outside, the girl said that she had been with her fiance, and that her reputation would be ruined now that she had left with another man. The young man told her that her reputation would not be ruined if they married, and then they went to supper. They went to the Royal Street restaurant, ordered many fine dishes, and ate and talked throughout the night. The next day, they were married and then they returned to the young man’s home in the East. Before the summer was over, though, the girl died. At the beginning of the next Mardis Gras, the owner of the Royal Street restaurant received a check and instructions to decorate the same table that the young couple had used, and that the same food be served. Every year after that for more than 20 years, a check would be sent and the food would be served to an empty table. Aiter the man died, the owner of the restaurant received instructions from an attorney that the dinner was to be served as before every year during Mardis Gras for as long as the restaurant remained in business. “Many people believe this is only a fable, but it is the story they tell, and something of the kind must have occurred, for every Mardis Gras night, if you go to this restaurant, you’ll see a waiter setting places for two. There are always flowers on the table and decorations in carnival colors. Then, silently and seriously, a waiter slowly serves the fine foods and wines of an elaborate dinner for two.” Ol^cEstate Eileen M. Duu w*itw FIXED OR ADJUSTABLE MORTGAGE? There was a time when the pundits claimed that the fixed mortgage was extinct. The pundits were wrong. If one thing is certain it is that future mortgage financing and interest rates are unpredictable. Lenders are now offering fixed rate mortgages and more competitive interest rates. However, the popular adjustable rate mortgage is still with us and probably always will be It may still be a good option for many. With the adjustable rate mortgage, the borrower shares the risk of fluctuating interest rates with the lender Obviously, the lender prefers this option. In order to make this shared risk partnership workable, the lender must offer the borrower a premium. The premium for choosing an adjustable mortgage should be somewhere between one and three points below the fixed rate mortgage rate. Over 70% of buyers, given the choice between fixed or adjustable mortgage, choose the fixed rate. However, you should consider all options.

Fund Drive During Heart Month February is Virginia Heart Month, and that means that it is time for the Heart Association fund drive. This year, the Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association has set a goal of $7,200 that they will try to collect before the end of the month. “The money we collect here doesn’t just go out of the county and we never see it again,” said Steve Scoggin, residential campaign chairman. “We are trying to start a heart health education program in the schools which would include instruction on good nutrition, the need for exercise and the dangers of smoking and other causes of heart disease. ” Besides the residential campaign when volunteers knock on doors asking for donations, the local Heart Association will also be sponsoring a jump rope for heart activity at Rappahannock Elementary School and Wakefield School to raise funds. A cookbook of heart healthy meals can also be purchased for $4.50 from Lillian Aylor, Association president. “A percentage of the funds raised will go towards heart disease re• wftarch,” said Scoggin. “Statistics show that heart disease is on the decline, but it is still the number one cause of death in the nation.” The Rappahannock Heart Association has 20 to 25 board members. Anyone with questions about the drive can contact Aylor at 987-8064 or Janet Yancey, vice-president, at 937-5239. The other officers are Pearle Clarke, secretary and Francis Smith, treasurer. The fund drive will be conducted throughout February. Anyone wishing to make a donation can send a check made out to the American Heart Association to Steve Scoggin, P.O.

Libraries Provide IRS Tax Aids ihe Rappahannock County Library has resources available to assist the public in filling out federal income tax forms, according to Grace Sims and Mary Tauss. The material is prepared and provided by the IRS in cooperation with the nation’s libraries. Useful aids include audio cassettes containing simple line-by-line instructions for filling out federal forms 1040EZ; 1040A and Schedule 1; and 1040 and Schedules A, B, and W. These and other commonly used federal tax forms and schedules can often be obtained or photocopied at the Library. Individuals should check to see if the forms they need are available in their local library. Many IRS publications are available for reference. One that can help taxpayers prepare their individual tax returns in Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax. Federal tax laws applying to business and farmers are explained in Publication 334, Tax Guide for Small Business, and Publication 225, Farmers Tax Guide. Publication 1194, specially designed for libraries, is a set of the IRS’s most requested publications and a helpful reference guide. Reproductible tax forms are contained in Publication 1132. This allows a taxpayer to easily photocopy for a fee of 20 cents more than 90 of the most commonly used federal income tax forms. Publication 910, also available at the library, is the handy Taxpayer’s Guide to IRS Information, Assistance and Publications. This publication contains useful year-round tips on how to obtain tax information. Taxpayers wishing to receive recorded tax tips via their telephones can pick up a brochure on Tele-Tax Publication 1163. The brochure lists various tax topics which can be accessed by using either a push button or rotary-dial phone. As a service for the blind, several of the most needed forms and publications are available in braille and distributed through the Regional Libraries for Blind and Physically Handicapped. Librarians are not expected to serve as tax experts, the IRS stressed. They will, however, be able to direct taxpayers to these many helpful tax aids.

Our very, best wishes to you! Between the ice and the snow and the freezing temperatures, the past six weeks have been riddled with cancellations of this, cancellations of that, and so on, and so on.

And the school children of Rappahannock have been out of school two or three days every week since Christmas! Talk about cabin fever!! Some of the older ones get around real well during those days though. For example, Richard Tribino has received many visitors in the past week — - such notables as the real, Luck McCoy df Washington; Jim “Buckwheat” Racer of Washington; Paul Cooper of Castleton; the famous actor, Vinnie Caporuscio of Amissville; Ricky “football” Dodson of Viewtown; Willy Arias, the poet; and Varsity basketball players from R.C.H.S., Jeff Porter and Ricky Shaw from Sperryville.

BERRY Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer At a meeting of the executive board of the Community Concerts Association on February 3, plans were made for the upcoming 1985 membership drive. “Since there are two concerts in the 1984 program, it is a bit confusing to the public to talk about the 1985 offerings”, said Mr. Robert D. Dundas, president, “but it is necessary to make plans now”. Renewal letters will go out to all of the 1150 members who joined for the 1984 performances. Hopefully, they will rejoin for 1985 so that personal solicitation will not be required. Mrs. W. Carlyle Crigler of Madison has again consented to chair the membership drive. The offerings for next season will be “Manhattan Rhythm Kings”, to be presented in October; “Kaleidoscopio of Greece”, in November; “Harolin Blackwell”, soprano, in March 1986; and “Bonn Wind Quintette” will appear in April. Mrs. Crigler announced that the “Kick-off” coffee for volunteers for the 1985-’86 membership solicitations will be held at the Mary M.

The Homemaker’s Corner Your grandparents probably got you to believe that oysters were either not available or not safe to eat in those months that did not have an “R” in them. That adage developed in the days before the widespread use of refrigeration, according to Susan Wiley, marketing specialist, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The months without an “R” in them, May, June, July and August, are the warmer months and because oysters are very perishable, they spoil quickly without refrigeration. Thankfully, oysters are continually becoming of harvest age and are brought in year round and quickly refrigerated to maintain freshness. Virginia is fortunate to have its own private oyster bed in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, which lies on the eastern border. Because of increased consumer interest in all seafood, grocery stores are responding with seafood shops or sections that offer a variety of fresh seafood items. Oysters can be purchased in the shell or shucked in pints or quarts. When purchasing shell oysters, look for tightly closed, unbroken shells indicating they are alive and still fresh. Size of the shell is not an indication of the size of the oyster inside. Shuck oysters should look plump and have clear, rather than cloudy, “liquor.” If you’ve seen recipes that referred to oyster liquor, you may have headed out to the local ABC store, only to find that the term refers to the very flavorful liquid that surrounds the oyster. Use it in place of part of the other liquid called for in the recipe. And it is believed you may find a pearl in an oyster or you’ll enjoy a night of extraordinary passion after a feast of raw oysters. Unfortunately, Chesapeake Bay oysters do not come with such guarantees. But one thing you can count on is delicious, nutritious meals when you serve Bay oysters. They are most famous on the half shell and fried, but they also can add exquisite flavor to soups and stuffings of scalloped and served as a side dish to pork or poultry. Here is a good basic recipe for Scalloped Oysters, as well as an interesting casserole that makes use of several fine Virginia foods. Scalloped Oysters 1 cup butter, divided 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced 1/4 cup chopped green pepper 1 pint oysters 3 cups crushed soda crackers, divided 1/2 cup half and half In skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter. Saute mushrooms and green pepper until tender. Drain oysters, reserving liquid. Sprinkle 1/3 crackers over bottom of 9-inch square baking dish. Top with half of mushrooms and oysters. Dot with 1/4 cup butter and repeat layers. Sprinkle last 1/3 crackers on top, dot with last 1/4 cup butter. Combine half and half with reserved liquid and pour over all. Bake 30 to 36 minutes at 350 degrees F. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Hunt Country Chicken 6 chicken breasts, boned and skinned 1/3 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup soybean oil 1 pint oysters 1 cup whipping cream 6 thin slices of ham 11/2 cups grated Swiss cheese Pound chicken breasts with meat mallet until thin. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour. In large skillet, saute chicken breasts in oil until lightly browned. Place chicken in 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Drain oysters, reserving liquid. Combine liquid with cream and pour oyer chicken. Place one slice of ham on each chicken breast. Top with equal amount of oysters and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F. 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Makes 6 servings.

It means that something of concern to you is of equal concern to someone else. It means that facts are to be explained, problems studied, goals agreed on, progress made.

Robinson Is Saving Area’s Heritage Through Log Cabins By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dreams of the days when settlers built their homes from trees cleared from the virgin forest haunt many people as they travel through the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. Tim Robinson is haunted even more by the thought of how many of these homes are being allowed to rot away when he could save them, and preserve a part of the area’s heritage. Robinson moved to Rappahannock County seven years ago because of the county’s beauty. He was raised in West Virginia, and his great-grandfather, his grandfather and his father were all builders. “I can remember carrying tools around for them when I was five or six years old,” Robinson said. He went to college in Florida lor art, worked for a while as a commercial artist, and then returned to building. At first Robinson helped his father, who built mostly churches, but then he became disillusioned with zoning laws that were lax in their standards. “Part of the magic of what I’m Rappahanntxk News Photo/Jane Bangley Tim Robinson stands beside one of his re-creations.

IN STOCK ONLY!RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, Va. 987-8555 doing now is that I have done the subdivisions and modern work, and I know that I don’t want to do it again,” Robinson said. “It’s a luxury that I can do what I want to do.” Robinson has devoted all of his time to what he wants to do through his unique business which he calls Second Chance Authentic Log Cabins located in Huntly. The first step in Robinson’s business is to find the cabins. He uses a va- , riety of methods, including advertising, flying over promising areas and tips from family and friends, to locate cabins. Most of the cabins have been covered with siding or an asphalt roll, so the cabins have to be identified by little clues like certain kinds of windows or a drooping roof. “I have an eye for cabins, but there are not very many that can be saved,” Robinson said. Finding the ones that can be saved does take time, but obtaining the cabins can be the hardest and most frustrating part of Robinson’s operation. “I have had guns pointed at me at times, so it’s usually a matter of taking the negotiations slowly and convincing people to sell the cabins,” said Robinson. “I don’t pressure people even though it has taken me up to a year to get a cabin, and sometimes I never convince the owners to sell.” That is the frustrating part of the job for Robinson when he offers to buy a cabin, the people will not sell for some reason and then he sees the cabin falling to ruin. The high points to the business help to make up for Robinson’s frustration. One of those high points came at the end of a year of negotiation when Robinson bought a log Hospice Of The Rapidan Appoints New Director The Executive Board of the Hospice of the Rapidan has appointed Lorraine F. Robson as its new executive director. Robson succeeds Pat Bankhead, founder of the local organization, and its president and director since 1982. Robson was a resident of Paterson, New Jersey until coming to the Rapphannock/Culpeper area in May of 1984. She was employed in New York City as head bookkeeper and department head before retiring in May. She and her husband, Eugene, a retired attorney, have opened a bed and breakfast on Route 707, Slate Mills Road in Rappahannock County. Robson was active in many local and national organizations while living in Paterson, and brings with her the skills needed in supervising a successful volunteer organization. Lorraine and Gene Robson began visiting the Rappahannock/Culpeper area six years ago, following the death of her son to leukemia. In 1982, the Robsons began to discuss retirement, and their choice of location was the Virginia countryside. In October of 1984, she took the hospice training course in Madison, and assumed the responsibilities of Hospice of the Rapidan on January 2 of this year. The hospice office has relocated to its new quarters at 126 South Main Street, second floor in Culpeper, and is staffed by volunteers daily from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. The office telephone is answered on a 24 hour schedule, and clients may call at any hour for assistance. Hospice is a program of supportive services that provides physical, psychological and social care for dying per Market Report At the Front Royal Livestock Exchange on February 7, the following prices were reported: Hogs Hogs: US 1-3, 200-250 lbs. $47.5049.50 Sows: 1-3, $40.50-48 Boars: $29 Lambs Feeder Lambs: Choice Slaughter Ewes, 93 lbs. $55; Head Ewes, 67 lbs. $60 Slaughter Cattle Cows: HD Cut and Brk UT 1-3, $43.25-45.25; Utility and Comm 2-4, $41.75-42.25; Canner and cutter 1-3, $35.25-38 Bulls: 1-2, $44-48 Feeder Cattle Steers: Medium and Lge, 3-500 lbs. $63.50-64.50; 5-7O0T lbs. $60.2560.50 f Heifers: Mediubi and Lge, 3-500 lbs. $40-58.50; 5-70<M)s. $51-54.50; 7800 lbs. $47.25-50.50 \ Bulls: Medium and Lge, 3-500 lbs. $56.50-61.50; 5-700 lbs. $51-53.75 cabin that belonged to John Lee, the j grandfather of Robert E. Lee. , The cabin is near Winchester, and 1 Robinson has spent much of his time getting information on the home from the archives in Richmond. He discovered that John Lee was Lord Fairfax’s attorney, and that the cabin was built around 1740. “This cabin was one of the first built in Virginia, and it is one of the largest and most perfect that I have ever seen,” Robinson said. Including ‘he Lee cabin, Robinson owns seven cabins now. After he buys a cabin, Robinson advertises the cabin sons and their families. Hospice services are available in both the home and inpatient hospital settings to all men and women, without regard to race or ability to pay. Home care is provided on a part time, scheduled basis without charge to the patient or family. Hospice exists to provide support care for persons in the last phases of incurable diseases, so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. A new training program will take place during the month of March. Two programs will be held for the Rappahannock/Culpeper area at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and another course will be held for the Madison/Orange area on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Orange Nursing Home. Men and women interested in taking the training course, and willing to volunteer some of their time to the Hospice of the Rapidan, are asked to call the hospice office at 825-4840 for further information. The programs will be under the direction of Rosemary Sheatsley of Madison County, education chairman. or people looking for a weekend home >r a permanent home for their property within a 50 mile radius of Rappahannock. “I give the clients all of the history I can find on each cabin, which has caused me to learn a lot about Virginia history,” Robinson said. “The cabin’s history also gives the owners something to talk about and tell their friends about.” Once a cabin is sold, Robinson and his four employees begin the task of moving and rebuilding. The cabins are moved piece by piece from their original location to the client’s property. The hand-hewn logs are usually chestnut and oak wood, and are generally 100 years old. All of the logs and stones are numbered before they are removed so that reassembly of the original cabin is guaranteed. The cabin is re-built with a poly-foam insulation between the logs, and the clients can choose between a masonry or a flexible chinking to cover the insulation. Robinson uses all vintage pine that can only be obtained by taking it out of old buildings for the floors, doors and other wood needs of the cabins. All of the work is done by Robinson, Stan Wilder, Allen Steel, Peggy Herzig and Dennis Hamilton. The hand forged iron for the doors is done by White Oak Forge in The Plains, and if the clients want, hand made copper lamps can be included. Any additions that the clients want are done, and the cabins are made with modern conveniences. “We totally finish them on the inside and outside,’’ said Robinson. “When we are finished, the cabins are superior to any other cabin alternative.” Robinson is careful not only about the work on the cabins, but about who the cabins are sold to. “I am picky about who I work for, and I take my time in matching the right people with the right cabin,” said Robinson. Robinson does not like cutting comers to save a little money, so it has taken a while for his business to show a profit. “As long as I can get enough money to pay the bills, though, I will stay with the business,” Robinson said. Robinson’s love for the work and his excitement in the discovery and rebuilding of a piece of history is evident in the finished cabins. “I make sure everything is done right because I don’t like making mistakes,” Robinson said.

Referendum (Continued from Page 1) hearings that he’d been to. Guest also said that the General Assembly would be no more ready for an advisory referendum bill next year than it was this year. Asked why an advisory referendum was considered meaningless, Guest said because a poll could perform the same task without legislation. Frazier said that he thought an advisory referendum could help to “end all the controversy” by letting the voice of the people be heard. Planning Commissioner Newbill Miller, when asked why he thought so many people signed the petition opposing the proposed zoning ordinance, replied “I think people have been presented improper information.” He said that people have been misled. “Many little things that they (RPAC) said you can’t do, you actually can do.” Miller also thought it was a mistake for the county to mix referenda in its politics, arguing that Rappahannock should rely on its representatives to govern. He said that the election of representatives every four years is a sufficient poll. Zoning Administrator David Konick. whose resignation goes into effect March l, said in a phone conversation that the proposed ordinance is more liberal and permissive nan the 73 ordinance.

Washington, Va. 22747 675-3777 Res: 937-4388 trary to his claim, Konick re ilied “Father the signees didn’t understand what was in the proposed ordinance or they were misled, or a combination of both.” Konick said that people “were misinformed about what you can and can’t do under the proposed ordinance.” He cited an instance where a local contractor was told he wouldn’t be allowed to continue his business the way he had been if the new ordinance passed. In fact, said Konick, that man’s business would not have been affected by the proposed ordinance. Konick affirmed his point that overall the new ordinance provides for more land uses than the 73 ordinance. Asked what he thought about the use of referenda, Konick replied “As a general rule I do not support the concept of referenda." He continued “The constitution provides that each state shall have a republican form of government,” which according to Konick, “means that the elected and appointed officials have a duty to exercise their best judgement in legislating and mak ing other decisions.” Konick added thal if the electorate doesn’t feel the rep resentatives are making the right deei sions, it can vote them out of office. A member of RPAC's steering committee, Robert Fiastham, in re sponse to the bill’s poor showing at the General Assembly, said “I am disap pointed for the people of Rappahan nock by the committee’s decision te pass by indefinitely a bill supported bj the people.” He could not speak foi RPAC but said that he would pursue the matter further. “Eventually w< will obtain for Rappahannock a mech anism through which our governing body will be able to determine th< sense of the people in a mathematica manner.” Asked about whether a referen dum on zoning should be advisory o binding, Eastham reiterated RPAC’: and his own feeling that a referendun should be advisory in order to respec the authority of the supervisors Eastham added “You believe, though that they (the supervisors) will respecl the will of the majority." Eastham summed up the reasor for his dedication to this zoning issue by saying that he can’t agree to anything “that is contrary to the proposition that the will of the people shall prevail.” Then he added that a majority of the people in Rappahannock are opposed to the proposed zoning ordinance.

C ommunic ations Center’s First Year Described By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock has had its own jail and communications center for a year, and Sheriff John Henry Woodward is pleased with how the year has gone. , “We've had no major disasters in learning how to operate the equipment or ■ anything, and the communications cen, ter and jail have made the department 1 more efficient,” said Woodward. Since January 1, 1984, the Sheriffs Department has answered 960 r complaints through the dispatch center. All fire and rescue companies have ' been dispatched from the center since 1 February 1, 1984. In that time, 119 fire calls and 415 rescue calls have been dispatched from the center. For the Amissville, Castleton, Fli|it Hill, Sperryville and Washington areas, the emergency fire and rescue number is 987-8525. For the Huntly and Chester Gap areas, the number is 635-4488. Rappahannock’s jail began operating on April 1, 1984, and has ended the problems of finding space for Rappahannock prisoners in surrounding counties’ jails. Four male correctional officers have been hired to operate the jail, and four female officers have been hired to perform the duties of a dispatcher and matron for any female prisoners. The correctional officers have worked 7,280 hours during the year, and the dispatchers worked 8,568 hours. There are four full-time deputies in Rappahannock who cover three shifts. Sheriff Woodward said that the deputies work a minimum of eight hours a day. and sometimes they work 12 hours a day. The deputies work six days a week, and then have two days off. The sheriff and deputies have worked 11,168 hours during the year. All of the personnel have had to complete courses at the Central Criminal Justice School in Waynesboro. The dispatchers had to complete a one week course, the correctional officers had a three week course, and the deputies have to complete a 10 week course dur- | ing the first year of their employment. ' The department does have part-time personnel who work only when a fulltime employee is sick or on leave. The Rappahannock Fire and Res- 1 cue Association purchased the communications equipment for the office with the assistance of an 80-20 percent Emergency Medical Services grant. J The county paid the remaining 20 per- ] cent, and paid for the sheriffs radio. \ The Fire and Rescue Association has also purchased a generator for the jail and Sheriffs Department office that will supply electricity in the event of a power failure. The county bought a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) so that the department can receive emergency calls from deaf people in the county who have the same machine. In November, the State Compensation Board began renting a teletype system for the Sheriff’s office. The teletype machine is used to run checks on license plates and vehicle registration, on stolen items and on wanted persons. The State Compensation Board authorizes positions and pays salaries for law enforcement personnel. ll(, “The Board of Supervisors and the Compensation Board have been very considerate of our office, and now we have more things to work with than ever before,” said Sheriff Woodward. “As far as a small county is concerned, we have come a long way in a year, and this year we’re going to keep smoothing things out in the system.” Sewage System (Continued from Page 1) will be issued. Hank Gerhart, of Buchart-Hom Engineering, told the Authority members that a pre-construction meeting for the signing of the contract had been scheduled for February 13. The meeting was scheduled for that time to meet a February 17 deadline. Gerhart said that he was concerned about the right of entry to the plant and the easements because if the land needed is not acquired by a certain time construction problems with the contractor can occur. Baumgardner told the Authority that the easements and access would be taken care of by the meeting on the thirteenth. Gerhart also said that the Authority will need to make a decision within the next month on how to handle the electrical deficiencies of some of the houses to be served by the sewage system. There are approximately 24 percent of the homes to be served that have electrical systems that do not meet the national electrical code, and would have to have the systems upgraded before the residents of the homes could use the sewage system. “I don’t feel that we have enough information to make a decision," said Chairman Bob Dennis. “I don’t know what is supposed to happen to a dwelling that does not meet code standards, and presumably those folks are at risk for a lot of reasons.” Dennis said that he wondered about what the responsibilities of the Authority would be in the matter since the houses are in violation of the code. Wayne Ciiimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, advised the Authority that he had looked into the possibilities for people who may not be able to afford to upgrade their electrical systems. “There is an organization known as the Virginia Water Project, and they normally will provide some seed money or funds to help underprivileged or distressed persons to hook up to water or sewer systems,” Cilimberg said. Cilimberg told the Authority that he had already sent a letter to the Project expressing an interest in money being appropriated in the future for those people who need assistance. Dennis asked Cilimberg to continue researching the best way to handle the problems with electrical systems. Baumgardner presented an amendment to the deed of conveyance of the 4.9868 parcel of land for the plant site. The amendment provided that only the portion of the parcel that will be used will be fenced and screened instead of the entire perimeter of the land. The amendment was approved. The Authority then discussed the situation with obtaining flood plain insurance. “My understanding is that the county does still qualify for flood plain insurance,” said Baumgardner. Cilimberg told the Authority that the contractor has already gotten flood insurance for the project. Baumgardner recommended that the matter be referred back to the Board of Supervisors, and ask that a complying ordinance be sent to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to avoid any possible problems in the future. The Authority approved resolutions allowing Cilimberg to authorize payments from the project construction account, and to transfer funds from the Rappahannock National Bank to the Second National Bank in Culpeper so that the funds will be closer to Cilimberg. Cilimberg was also appointed as the contract compliance officer for labor standards and equal employment opportunity and section three. Section three refers to the practice of hiring local contractors, firms and individuals for the project whenever possible. The next WSA meeting will be on March 7. School Menus R.C.E.S.
