VIRGINIA Phone 67.>-3340 25' Lawsuit Filed Against BZA, Supervisors Ivan And Hazel Hall Seek Reversal Of Permit Decision By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Ivan- and Hazel Hall, with legal counsel from David Konick, have filed a lawsuit against the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), the Board of Supervisors, and Oscar and Stella Lozano of Culpeper. The suit lists five counts and requests a judgment in the amount of $250,000 in addition to attorney’s fees. The Lozanos are named as defendants only because their property rights may be affected in the case; the Halls seek no damages from them. The suit is in response to the BZA’s decision on April 24 to grant a special use permit to the trustees of the Sperryville Assembly of God Church. Because the present site of their 62member church is too small, the trustees have planned to build a new church on a tract of land adjacent to the Hall’s property, which is one mile east of Sperryville on Route 612. The trustees have contracted to buy the property from the Lozanos. The Halls have opposed the trustees’ application for a special use permit on the grounds that the proposed church (and parsonage) would be too close to their home, which they have planned for five years and is now under construction. They have argued that the construction of a church and parsonage on the Lozano property would conflict with the rural character of the neighborhood. Also, Hall has seven ponds on his property, which he uses to breed and raise fish. He fears that the additional traffic caused by the new church could pollute his ponds. In general, the Halls feel that both the peaceful use and market value of their land are at stake in the lawsuit: Despite Hall’s protests, the BZA approved the special use permit after conducting an on-site inspection April 24. One month later the Halls filed their suit, which includes: 1) a petition for a writ of certiorari (a request that the BZA’s decision be reviewed), and 2) a bill of complaint for declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, damages and attorney’s fees. In short, the Halls are asking that the court: • issue a temporary injunction to prevent the Lozanos from selling either of two tracts of land to the trustees of the Sperryville Assembly of God Church. • prevent the church’s trustees from acting on the BZA’s approval of the special use permit pending the outcome of this case. • declare the BZA’s approval of the per(Continued on Page 18) Town Planners Recommend Ordinance By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed historic district ordinance on Wednesday, May 22. The ordinance was drafted by the town council, and the planners made some revisions in the ordinance and recommended its approval by the council. The ordinance authorizes the formation of a three-member architectural review board made up of town resident tax payers. The members of the ARB will be appointed by the town council. ARB members will review plans for changes to existing buildings requiring a building permit or for new buildings in the town. The plans will have to conform to specifications on exterior style, design, texture, material and colors predominant in the town during two time periods. Buildings in area B of the town will be compared to architectural styles from 1900 to 1945. Area B, as defined in the proposed ordinance, will be “those properties abutting Mt. Salem Avenue in its entirety and all parcels on the south side of Business Route 211 and east of the lots designated as 119, and 115 on the Rappahannock County tax map for the town of Washington.” Properties 119 and 115 are presently occupied by the Black Kettle Motel and Avon Hall. “Area A is everything else in town except that buildings with less than 25 percent of their first floor area lying within the town boundaries are excluded from this ordinance.” Buildings within area A will be compared to the architectural qualifications used from the tow n’s founding to 1900. “This is not a restoration ordi -Whoa! - Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp GOING RIDING SPERRYVILLE STYLE - Moody Aylor halts a team of horses during last weekend’s festival in Sperryville.

See picture page of the festival inside. nance,” said planner Bill Wickens. “It (the ARB) is not a group that is going to go out and take paint samples or scrapings from people’s houses and decide that because it was painted a certain way or a certain material was used back in 1781 that therefore that is the material or color that should be used now.” Wickens said the purpose of the ordinance would be to make sure that what is proposed for the town will be in accordance with the existing character derived from the two time periods. 1 One of the most controversial provisions of the ordinance has been on colors of buildings. “I don’t think that colors like orange, purple or chartreuse belong in this town and this would be designed to prevent that,” Wickens said. “It would not be a board to say that we don’t like brown shutters with a white house, we’d rather you put blue shutters on a white house. That is not its purpose.” The planners recommended that the ARB not mandate specific allowable colors for the two areas. “That doesn’t mean that they couldn’t say a color was inappropriate,” said Chairman Frank Reynolds. Wickens said that the ordinance’s main function would be to protect the town’s “historical flavor. Many towns that I’m familiar with wish that they’d had protection like this, and many are now scrambling to try to undo the damage already done by developers. “We have something here which people are trying to create at enormous cost, and it's something that we don’t have to give away to developers and (Continued on Page 1 8) Hearing Set for Monday Hare will be a public hewing on the 1985-86 budget during the Board of Supervisor’s regular meeting Monday, June 3 at 10 a.m. in the courthouse. The $5.9 million spending plan carries with it a tax levy of 63 cents pec $190 of assessed value. That levy is up 11 cents from the current 52 cents. The recent $120,000 cut in the school budget shaved five cents off the proposed tax levy. Without the cut, the levy would have been 68 cents per $100 of assessed value. Most Of the budget is devoted to the school fund, the total of which is $4.2 million with $1.2 million earmarked for capital outlays. A copy of the budget is available at the clerk's office. Kvarnes Crafts Village OK’d By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer A special use permit request submitted by Eric Kvarnes was approved with a condition by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals on Wednesday, May 22. The permit will allow Kvarnes to establish a crafts village on Route 211 near Sperryvflle. Kvarnes had originally applied for a special use permit to add a wall to a building so that it could be used as a potters. A decision on that application was postponed a month so that the request could be advertised. “I decided to go ahead and apply for the crafts village because it looks like I’ll need to build a wall in another building, and rather than do it permit by permit by permit I thought that I would submit the whole plan to take care of whatever permits may be required,” Kvarnes said. One building on the property is being used to house Kvarnes’ glassblowing operation, and he said that he might construct a wall in that building to separate an office space. The future uses of the other buildings have not been determined beyond the plan to use them as shops for craftspeople. The site of the buildings was formerly Pete Estes’ junkyard. Kvarnes plans to use the same entrance to the property as was used for the junkyard, but he said that he had not received an official approval of the entrance from the State Highway Department. “They have just not had time to get out there (Continued on Page 18) Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp CAMILLE HARRIS OF WASHINGTON digs in during the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Child Care and Learning Center held on May 27.

Board Approves Expansion By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board held a special meeting on Thursday, May 23 to discuss changes in the high school expansion project plans proposed by staff members at the school. The changes were proposed at the board’s meeting on May 14 when the board decided to ask the architectural firm of Smithey and Boynton to prepare cost estimates on the additional costs involved. Staff members recommended: having the guidance conference room door located between the reception and co”<V*rei. o "omis and eliminating a hallway door; sound proofing the common wall between the reception and conference rooms (no additional cost); providing an outside double door from a storage room in the gym; having an exterior water fountain (no additional cost); including additional space and shelving in the library and water in the library’s work room; switching the locations of the teachers’ lounge and the special education classroom; providing water and gas for six student locations to convert the science lecture room into a biology classroom; moving the auditorium’s door to the front and changing to double doors; building a booth in the back of the auditorium for a follow spot-light; providing light redirection capability in the auditorium (no additijonal^cpsf); and preserving the boundary of the baseball field (no additional cost). Decisions on recommendations to place a service road between the gym and track rather than beside classrooms and to provide additional parking were delayed by the board until further information can be obtained. Board members were concerned about the proximity of parking to the school’s sand filtering system. If the service road’s location were changed, an additional parking area would be “too close” to the filtering system, said Chairman Beverly Massie. “1 wouldn’t think that there would be enough traffic on the service road to cause distractions in the classrooms on the side of the building,” said board member Bill Oliver. The board did not question the need for more parking at the school. “If we’re expanding, we have to be able to accomodate more people who want to use the facilities,” Massie said. “The parking situation is not good now when there are functions at the school.” Board members agreed that the new parking area would probably have to be located beside the building. “It would be more feasible to have the service drive on the side, too, since that’s where the parking will most likely be,” said board member Randall Updike. Board member Nancy Reeves asked that the board receive a definitive answer on where the best place for additional parking would be. “We also want to consider how it will look from the road,” Reeves said. Before going into executive session, the board received copies of the proposed 1985-86 school budget adopted at the board’s last meeting that cut $120,000 from the board’s first proposal. “I’d like to see us resubmit the original budget (to the board of supervisors) and ask them to reconsider,” said board member Paul Nichols. “Teachers’ salaries is an area that we’re going to have to work with because we’re still playing catch-up.” The suggestion was not acted on. During executive session, the board discussed the dollar amounts involved with the expansion project changes and approved the changes. The board also accepted the resignation of Nancy Scoggin as seventh grade social studies teacher and reviewed ap(Continued on Page 18)

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation L V THURSDAY, MAY 30,1985 Onward to a Solution The heated controversy over the school budget will continue not only day to day but year to year as long as hostilities distract people from seeking a workable solution. When an issue becomes as polarized as this one has, the chances are slim that either side is listening to what the other has to say. After hurling its arguments at the other, each party retreats to gather ammunition for another attack. All rebuttals are dismissed as nonsense. As a result, relevant points made on both sides are lost. If a workable solution is to be found, the concerns of both sides will have to be addressed-by each other. How can this be done? Barney O’Meara points the way in his letter to the editor this week. He begins his letter by noting that the differing parties in this issue are not as far apart as the intensity of the argument suggests. “This issue has become so polarized that we have forgotten that Rappahannock’s citizens share common goals,” O’Meara writes. He states that “Every member of our Board of Supervisors supports better education and higher teacher compensation.” His conclusion: “The issue then is one of taxes.” True. No one we know of seriously disputes the fact that education is a top priority and that teachers should be paid as much as the county can reasonably afford. What some do dispute is the claim that increased real estate taxes should continue to foot the bill for better education and higher teachers’ salaries. The solution then, as O’Meara suggests, is to put aside hostilities and to consider alternative means of raising revenue. The point is not that an increase in real estate taxes should be ruled out as an option, but that other forms of taxation should relieve real estate from bearing the entire burden of the county’s budget. Obviously there are not 101 alternatives to real estate taxation in Rappahannock County. Thus some imagination will be required.

Herbs and Country Manor. THE BURKES OF COUNTRY ELEGANCE Sperryville I—Rappahannock Heritagi Letters To The Editor Our Common Concern To the editor: The school budget and teachers’ compensation has been a major concern in Rappahannock County in recent weeks. It has been addressed in private, in public and in print. The large sit-out at the high school shows that students are actively involved. This issue has become so polarized that we have forgotten that Rappahannock’s citizens share common goals. A brave woman attended the Supervisors’ public input session on the school budget on Monday, April 29. While there was a large group strongly supporting an increased budget, she alone stood up to speak against higher taxes. We heard her remarks, but too few people, myself included, really listened to what she said. This courageous woman, living on a fixed income, was fearful of the effect of continually increasing real estate taxes. Regardless of how favorably our real estate tax rate compares with surrounding counties, this woman and others have seen a significantly higher bill in recent years. And there is every indication that this trend will continue. This woman did not speak against better education. I do not recall her speaking against better pay for teachers and other employees. Every member of our Board of Supervisors supports better education and higher teacher compensation. The issue then is one of taxes. Our Supervisors should consider other forms of taxation as alternatives to increased real estate taxes. One approach is to look at current monetary flow in the county, so that retired persons on a fixed income will be less affected. Culpeper is considering new forms of revenue raising, including a four percent meal and transient tax. Other jurisdictions already have business and professional taxes, and land transfer taxes. These types of taxes address people or businesses that are either spending or earning money on a regular and on-going basis. There may be other taxes which the Supervisors could enact to achieve the same result. I urge our Supervisors to act with courage and vision and to establish forms of revenue to solve this problem. Rappahannock can have high quality education without the cost being borne solely by real estate taxes. This will require additional recordkeeping and work. But if the alternative is losing w several good, experienced teachers and L sacrificing the children’s education, do we really have any choice? ‘ * BARNEY O’MEARA Sperry ville Too Little Information To the editor: How can it be in this country, founded oh freedom of information, we could possibly be so misinformed? Rappahannock County has given their teachers a 12 percent increase in salaries for next year, which represents the largest increases granted to teachers’ salaries in all of our neighboring counties, and in fact our planning district. Rappahannock County is also advertising a 63 cent tax rate, which also is the highest tax rate of all our neighboring counties and planning district. If we don’t do something about this, it will represent a virtually 100 percent increase in taxation over the past three years. If this occurs, you will find my signature on a vote of no confidence in my board. I’m proud that our students will take a stand for their beliefs and exercise their right to peaceful assembly, but wish they had exercised their right to be properly informed. Even after the Supervisors’ cut of $120,000 from the proposed increases in the school budget, Rappahannock County gave the largest salary increases to teachers around, and had a student protest the very next morning. Virginia code prohibits striking teachers, yet many were not in their rooms with the students remaining in their classes. When the time came, the students disobeyed the principal’s order to return to classes, as was the deal. I had returned from a two day business trip very late Tuesday night, at 3 a.m. My phone rang at 9 a.m., and at 9:15 a.m. I stood alone amongst some 200 students and teachers. I received over and over again, much personal abuse there. The attacks were followed by round after round of cheers and applause from the students. It was disgusting! I was on rights guaranteed to all of us by our constitution, and form of government. Maybe an alternative form of government, or a different flag in our classroom would be the answer? I also find it amazing that such attacks would be made on the only Supervisor in recent history, who has now spent weeks of his life researching the situations at our schools, and in the county budget, and took a public stand in the May 9 Rappahannock News to make drastic improvements to teacher salaries now, today. It’s a simple lesson in economics, with a pending 100 percent increase in local taxation, more money from the state and federal sources, more teachers, less and less enrollments in our schools and we are falling farther behind on teacher salaries. Clearly, something is wrong! I now have my only other idea to fund our goings on in this county, a Rappahannock LOTTERY. The paper last week had a letter and petition that spoke of integrity and foresight. Personally, I am proud not to have given my blanket approval to a school budget that had a yet unexplained mistake of $100,000 incorporated in it. From the several hours that I have spent with our county auditor and accountant I do know that the School Board budget has $318,199 allotted to operation and maintenance of school plant when only $294,055 was appropriated last year. This is $24,144 of this $100,000 mistake. All this should have been cleared up before anything was approved. I also feel that from one year’s budget to another, that number relating to actual expenditures should jive, but they in many cases do not. I repeat that Rappahannock Countyfs public business is the private enterprise of all of its taxpayers, and should be conducted as such. Government should be at least as accountable to the citizens, as the citizens are to their government! If our numbers fail to jive, we go to tax court, and receive a free ticket to the iron wigwam stateside.... In closing, I would like to point out again that the fundamental cause for the complete disruption of the educational process and disciplinary credibility at the high school, the fundamental cause for assembly, was wrong. NELSON LANE Woodville Give^ the gift ofkwa V American Heart 'Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE —t rom Both Barrels *-— The Battle Begins Rv GEORGE BOWLES Democratic candidate for governor Gerald Baliles and his Republican opponent Wyatt Durrette met in their first headto-head encounter last week. While neither camp was willing to style the meeting a debate, to the extent that it highlighted some profound differences of opinion between the two men and produced some fairly sharp, if low key, rhetorical exchanges, a debate is what it was. The forum, as they preferred to call it, was sponsored by the Virginia Retail Merchants Association and took place in Norfolk. The event, whether it was a debate or something else, undoubtedly set the tone for the gubernatorial campaign ahead. Baliles, a moderately conservative Democrat, will be trying to nail down his claim of being the political and philosophical heir to the style of government set by Gov. Chuck Robb during the last 3% years. At the same time he will be blazing away at the allegedly liberal legislative voting record compiled by Durrette when the latter was a member of the House of Delegates a decade ago. Durrette, who was once regarded as a moderate Republican, will be attempting to make amends for his earlier missteps when, as a delegate from Fairfax, he fell into such liberal error as supporting the Equal Rights Amendment, meet-andconfer negotiations for teachers, and was, incredibly, the chief sponsor of a major Virginia abortion law. Several years ago, however, Durrette left his past behind him both literally and figuratively. He moved from Fairfax to Chesterfield County in order to establish a “more central base” for his expected run for the governorship. There, in the heartland of Virginia conservatism, he breathed the air of the circulation area of the Richmond Newspapers and learned what real 100-proof right wingery is all about. His rightward hiatus from his days as a Northern Virginia moderate has, as we shall see in a moment, carried him distances which are truly epic. The debate, or forum, which lasted 90 minutes, contained a number of elements of surprise. Two, however, stand out as especially noteworthy. The first was the unexpectedly aggressive styl# with which Baliles assailed his opponent. This was not a matter of an occasional thrust, but a sustained pattern of pressure which began with his opening statement and continued throughout the encounter. He threw no knockout punches, but his constant jabbing clearly unsettled and aggravated his opponent. While the strategy gave Baliles the initiative in this meeting, it is a political technique which has its dangers. Too much concentration on the negative sets poorly with the voters in Virginia’s campaigns. Lt. Gov. Dick Davis discovered that to his grief in both his unsuccessful U.S. Senate race in 1982 and in his recent run for the gubernatorial nomination against Baliles. Still, it worked well for Baliles last week. But perhaps the most mindboggling surprise of the event was the revelation of the depth of Durrette’s anti-abortion commitment and the apparent change in his views on abortion over the past decade. When he was representing Fairfax in the House, Durrette was the chief patron of House Bill 972 in the 1974 General Assembly session. The measure was supported by a bipartisn array of co-patrons which included four other Republicans, four Democrats and three independents. The measure authorized abortion on demand during the first trimester of pregnancy, spelled out the conditions under which it could be performed during the second trimester and restricted its use in the third to cases in which the life or health of the mother was in danger. The lengthy bill also established a number of rules and restrictions related to the abortion procedure. In recent years, however, Durrette has adopted an increasingly strong anti-abortion position. Just how strong that position has become was revealed with stunning clarity when he responded to this question put to him by one of the forum panelists. Question: “For Mr. Durrette. You and your opponent have expressed almost polar positions on the issue of abortion. If a loved one were raped, was the victim of incest, or there was evidence of gross fetal deformity, are you prepared to insist that she carry the pregnancy to term?” Durrette: . . Now, I have six children. I have four daughters. The intense personal tragedy that would accompany the kind of episode that you have described is something that is almost too difficult to contemplate, and yet I know we have to confront it. That doesn’t alter the fact that for me, in my deepest personal convictions, that child conceived is a human being. That child, regardless of my views, or regardless of the circumstances, ha^ the same right to live that you and I do. I cannot deviate from that standard.” Ihus it would appear that if one of his daughters were made pregnant by a rapist, Durrette would insist that she bear the child. Some might consider this astonishing response on the part of a father to be a demonstration of highly principled devotion to the anti-abortion cause. Others, however, would more likely call it bizarre and misguided fanaticism. . Baliles oppbstsfe'kbortion, but is pro-choice on the question of whether or not the woman should have the right of decision in the matter. Who came out ahead in the forum? It’s impossible to say, but one thing is clear. The campaign ahead will hardly be the snorer some political observers had predicted. There is far, far more than the proverbial dime’s worth of difference between these two candidates. Correction In a recent column it was reported that William Hurd, treasurer of the state Republican Party, was among the GOP defectors who supported conservative Democrat Leslie Saunders in the 1983 Race in the 67th House District. Mr. Hurd says this was in error, and that he supported the Republican nominee, Del. George W. Jones. We regret not checking with Mr. Hurd before going to press. Less Is Less To the editor: According to Mr. Nelson Lane, in last week’s paper, the expressions on the faces of the protesting RCHS students changed completely when he told them that as a result of the Board of Supervisors’ decision to cut the school budget by $120,000, the teachers would get an additional raise. I would imagine their faces showed awestruck wonder at his explanation of how “leas is more.” Something like the Newspeak of1984. In fact the salary component of the teachers pay was increased whent the school board labored till midnight of the night before the walkout to find ways to trim $120,000 from their budget, but the overall teacher benefit package was drastically reduced. Before the cuts the teachers could expect an average salary increase of 11 percent and a fringe benefit of five percent for retirement. The value of the total was 16 percent. After the cuts the only increase was 12 percent for salary. This is four percent less (and probably a greater decrease in value because of the effect of higher taxes on salary and not on fringe benefits). As most of us have known all along, less is less; it is not “more.” That the students who planned the walkout did not know the details of the school budget, especially the details worked out close to midnight of the night before their walkout, is hardly surprising. It was the students, not the teachers, who planned the walkout. They were responding to rumors spreading through the school that one after another of their favorite teachers would not be back next year or would be looking for another job because of the supervisors’ action in cutting the budget. Probably the greatest tragedy of this whole process is represented by Mr. Bomberger’s letter, also in last week’s paper. The tragedy is not that there won’t be any more plays. There probably will be more plays, though, they may not be of the same caliber. And the school board may come to wonder why it didn’t pay Mr. Bomberger three salaries, because it may take three people to replace his unique combination of higher math, including computer science, art and drama. The tragedy is represented by the choice he felt compelled to make. I have heard Mr. Bomberger say he loves his work. I know that he is one of Rappahannock’s finest teachers and that our students respond wonderfully to his teaching. Yet the low value placed upon the job teachers do has forced him to have to choose between the work he loves, and is so good at, and the need to support his family. If we truly believed that our children are our most precious resource, we would never have forced this tragic choice on him. SHARON KILPATRICK Woodville

Things to do during June Summer begins at 5:44 a.m. June 21, which is the longest day of the year. After darkness has fallen, look for Leo in the west, the Big Dipper in the northwest and Arcturus in the south. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts warm and wet weather in June. At an average 75° Fahrenheit, temperatures should be slightly above normal and a higher rainfall precipitation of 5.5 inches is predicted. Fauquier Agriculture Extension Agent W. C. Brown advises farmers and gardeners to do the following practices in June. • Continue to plant warm season vegetables. After early vegetables such as radishes and leaf lettuce mature, remove the residue and plant beans, com or some other crop. • Mulch to conserve moisture, prevent erosion and control weeds. • Harvest vegetables at the proper stage of maturity for top quality and flavor. • Control diseases, insects and weeds. • Read and follow label directions on pesticides. • Never use a sprayer for insecticides or fungicides after it has had herbicides in it. • Cage or stake tomatoes if not done earlier. • When cultivating, do not dig too deep. Two inches will control weeds if done regularly. • Keep the mower blades sharp and balanced. • In hot weather, raise the lawn mower and clip cool season grasses such as bluegrass and fescue no closer than two inches. • Remove faded blossoms from summer annuals to keep them blooming. • Follow safety precautions when using tools and equipment. War rent on Carnival Opens The Warrenton firemen’s carnival will swing into action Thursday for three nights of fun and games, plus a Saturday matinee for children. A parade of more than 125 floats, fire trucks, bands and marching units will move off at 7 p.m. Friday, led by the Fauquier sheriffs department and the Fauquier High School band. The Kena Temple Shriners of Alexandria will return with their big entry of colorfully caparisoned camel herders, mounted patrol, the Oriental Band and the Little 500 cars and motorcycles with their amazing maneuvers. Fire and rescue equipment will come from as far afield as Charles Town, W. Va., Brunswick and Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Md., as well as around Virginia, to compete for the trophies on display this week at Carter’s Furniture Store. A bevy of majorette groups, honorary fire chiefs, bands, Boy and Cub Scouts, commercial and civic floats will also be in the line of march down Main and Waterloo Streets. The majorettes will perform their routines for the judges at Benner Field, behind Warrenton Junior High School, and fire and rescue equipment will be demonstrated and judged. All three nights a variety of rides will be in operation, including merrygo-round, roller coaster, scrambler swings and a lot of kiddie rides. A reduced price matinee will be run Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. Hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, cotton candy, candy apples and soft drinks will be sold, and there will be plenty of games. « • - :—:The Green Machirte High-performance yard-care tools.

To the editor: Those of us who live in Rappahannock County are blessed in many ways. The ageless beauty of the Blue Ridge surrounds.us and nurtures us. There is a balance between man and nature which is at times almost poetic. People of diverse backgrounds, from the common man to current or former international personalities are able to interact with one another in a congenial manner. In how many other places so close to a national capital could one expect to find most of the population casually waving to one another on the road? Some of us have chosen to live here recently, others are part of families who have lived in these mountains since the early days of this nation. Whatever our tenure, we might all agree that there is indeed a “Rappahannock Heritage,” a phrase which I would like to think describes the common love we share for this land and for one another as its temporal inhabitants. It is thus with unspeakable sorrow that I write this letter, prompted by the recent actions of the board of supervisors to arbitrarily reduce the budget for the public schools. I believe that the manner in which this reduction was made may provoke a tragedy of great proportions, ultimately resulting in not only the loss of a significant fraction of the public school teachers, but also the most important aspect of this heritage about which so much is spoken. I am writing because I believe that it is in the best interest of all county residents to try to prevent such losses from occurring. Public education is required by law but it would seem to represent one of the more noble intents of government: to prepare children to deal with the world. This is an endeavor which should generally bring a smile to our faces; we should feel good about helping to provide a future for the young. Why is it that an activity which has such a good intent can bring so much sadness to so many, casting a dark shadow across this land that we all love? Superficially, the current issue appears to concern $120,000 which was arbitrarily removed from the school budget by the supervisors. It is so simple to contrast this amount with a corresponding increase in taxes. But such simplicity sets the residents of Rappahannock up to fight among ourselves. Landowners, retired persons, farmers and persons without children may all ask, “Why should I pay to educate someone else’s children?” Teachers and parents become the adversaries, struggling to take money out of the pockets of the county residents. It all looks so simple and so easily appeals to one of our fundamental self interests, our pocketbooks. But is this really such a simple issue? Public education gives us one of our fundamental strengths as free men, the opportunity for advancement without regard for financial or social status. No matter what our individual heritage, we were ourselves children and had to learn about the world. Someone helped us up the ladder of life and, as likely as not, public education played an important role in our climb, either for us directly, or in the opportunities which it afforded to our ancestors. How many of us has ever stopped to think who paid the way for us to have access to our education? Couldn’t it be argued that each of us owes a debt for our education which can only be paid by providing for the instruction of the children of today, whether or not they are ‘our1 children? But the loudest voices speak only of taxes, while'failing to even consider some of the broader issues at stake. And we all fall into the trap of pointing fingers at one another and at the teachers. I don’t think the largest issue here is money. Rather I sense that the teachers have come to feel as a group that the county has absolutely no interest in their efforts on behalf of our children. Of course they are going to be upset; we have tom their hearts out right in front of them, all the while telling them that they should be grateful to live in such a special place. On Route 522, near the northern border of the county, some of you may have noticed the historical marker noting the actions of one Albert Gallantin Willis during the Civil War. It seems that Federal troops were going to execute a Southern soldier as retribution for the deaths of some of their comrades. Willis, a seminary student, offered himself in place of the condemned man who was married and a father. His offer was accepted and he was hanged near the spot where the marker stands. His grave, marked by a plain white fence constructed by an Eagle Scout, lies in a churchyard in Flint Hill. Who of us would not agree that this was the most selfless (even biblical) gesture, which a man could make, to lay down his life for another? What an honorable part of the Rappahannock Heritage! And yet, with our next breath we might also think to ourselves, “What a stupid fool, to do such a thing! What a sucker he was!” While they do not offer themselves as mortal sacrifices, as Willis did, schoolteachers nevertheless make a similar kind of gesture through their work. They give a great deal of themselves to children, more than most of us ever take the time to see. So what if it is not your children? So what if not all teachers are so dedicated? Enough are to make a difference in many lives; in my life! Why can we not realize that many, if not all, of these people are not doing this solely for the money? They all could make more in other pursuits. Teachers are caught inside a terrible paradox. As a group they are extremely dedicated to their work, but they ultimatley find that they are essentially powerless in the control of their careers. Dedicated people often make the mistake of thinking that people in positions of responsibility above them recognize and appreciate their efforts. We, all of us, talk out of both sides of our mouths about all of this. On the one hand we tell ourselves how important the mission of the schools is. But we also play the teachers as suckers, using their idealism and belief in the future until they bum out, then replace them with the next crop of bright and energetic young faces. It just happens that this time we may bum out a few more than expected in one year, but no matter; others will take their places and the cycle will begin again. Or will it? How many of our elected or appointed officials have considered the psychological effect of their actions on the teachers? How many of them have taken the time, ever, to go inside the schools to find out firsthand how the teachers feel, to attempt to make the teachers feel good about what they are doing? My wife, my mother and I have volunteered our time extensively in the schools in the two years we have lived here and, with the notable exceptions of Misters Gilkey and Nichols, have yet to hear a teacher describe a sincere interest on the part of any of these officials in the actual process of education. There is so much talk about quality, with one person or another telling us what they have done to insure quality in the schools. But real quality needs no words; it speaks for itself. This matter goes well beyond the discussion of some percentage of the school budget. The real issues here are as timeless as the Blue Ridge. Incompetence, ignorance, selfishness, insensitivity, jealousy, greed and indifference are the real issues, not a few bucks for our teachers, who unfortunately, will probably never be paid their true worth to our society. The real problems with our schools did not begin this year nor are they likely to end next year. They will only end when we all look beyond issues of money and superficial emotions; when who speak the loudest who offer the greatest wisdom. They will only end when public officials, legalities aside, see a moral dilemma in sending their children to private school while having" responsibility for the budget of the public schools. They will only end when we all see that it is more than unjust to use the good intentions and finest virtues of another against that person for selfish purposes; that injustice done to another, will sooner or later, be injustice done to us. If we do not or cannot see this, then we might do well to instruct our children and ourselves in how to he and to deceive in place of the traditional academic pursuits. Such would not build a better world but would more honestly prepare the young for what they must face in life. A great deal more than some dedicated teachers may be lost if our attitudes do not somehow change. We all share this life for what is really a short time in the larger scope of things. This is indeed a physically beautiful place to live, but it is not our physical surroundings which determine whether this is truly a special place. It is by our actions towards others that we affect not only the world, but ultimately ourselves. The damage which has been done to the hearts of our teachers will eventually have an affect <m each of us. We reap what we sow! ) Perhaps it will ultimately be found that we cannot afford additional monies for the schools. If this is really the situation, then we should arrive at the decision in such a manner so as not to destroy those who care for and contribute so much to our county. What do respect and appreciation for those who serve us cost anyway? If we cannot give these, then we are deserving of the worst which may come to us! And our Rappahannock Heritage becomes nothing more than an expression of our self indulgence. But what about that sign on the way up to Chester Gap? Perhaps it should be changed to read “Albert Gallantin Willis was a sucker who....” But if we did that then maybe we wouldn’t even need the sign anymore, for what’s so unusual about a sucker. Isn’t one bom every minute! In his play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare provides some perspective on just how ageless these problems are. You may recall that Romeo and Juliet were children of two families in the midst of an endless and vicious feud but are ultimately destroyed by the senselessness of their elders. In thinking about the events which have taken place in the Rappahannock schools and which I am afraid are still to come, I have been unable to shake from my thoughts the judgment of the Prince of Verona upon the deaths of Romeo and Juliet: “See what a scourge is made upon your hate, that heaven finds means to •H : kill your joys with love. And 1, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen! All are punished! ALL ARE PUNISHED!” JOHN R. TOLE, Sc.D.

Day iwalto* EQUALIZING MORTGAGE RATES Not too many years ago, if you wanted to buy property in two cities located a couple of thousand miles apart, you would very likely find that your mortgage interest rate could vary significantly between the two. Today, interest rates are more likely to remain at about the same level throughout different areas of the country. The reason for this is that lenders, in increasing numbers are not holding mortgages, but rather selling home mortgages on the national secondary mortgage market. Mortgages are packaged and resold as securities (I might add, highly secured and safe securities) to institutions, pension funds, and private investors. Through this sale and resale process, local banks generate new funds for new mortgages.

They never showed this picture at Highland Church where Rhona became superintendent of the Primary Department. That, of course, was a decade later, when everyone figured Rhona had settled down. She never did! She just learned to use constructivcly the varied talents and interests (iod had given her. And those who know her best — including her pupils — are glad Rhona is still a bit of a "cut-up”. Maybe it’s easier to learn vital spiritual truths from someone who might have made it in comedy.

The Castleton Area News Tomorrow night is the night of the big feast at our very own fire hall,(May 31st from 5 to 8 p.m.)!! Yes, that’s right—the annual Volunteer Fire Department’s fundraiser!! So put on your stretch pants (or skirts) and come on over to the Castleton fire hall for a mouth water dinner you won’t forget!! It’s $6.50 fj>r adults and $3.50 for children. A read worthwhile cause, yes sir!! And tasty too!! Yum! Yum! Be There! There was lots of visiting around this area over the Memorial weekend. Richard “Doug” and Becky Gore gave a scrumptious picnic and invited their relatives from Manassas, Nina and Albert Lee Compton. Their daughter, Ellen, joined in the pleasurable afternoon. Stevan and Marguerite Nikolajevic entertained their good friends, Bill and Danielle Todd of Arlington and their three sons, Patrick, Mark and Christopher last weekend. The boys had a great time swimming in the Nikolajevic’s pond and created an ingenious float made from three inner tubes and an old, broken, plastic chair. Stevan and Marguerite were amazed at their proficiently engineered enterprise. Last Wednesday, the Nikolajevics were visited by their daughter-in-law, Keri and grandsons, Patrick and Matthew and Keri’s friend, Gail. They spent a wonderful day together and little Patrick had a great time chasing the dogs and playing ball! Seventh grader Tommy Schoppet had a splendid houseguest over the holiday weekend, his friend, Scott Blevins of Washington, also a 7th grade student at R.C.E.S. They were joined by another, yes 7th grader, from Battle Mountain, David Mosher.

They were joined in the billiards room for a little teenage get-together with Ritchie Dodson of Viewtown (10th), Brett Anderson of Amissville (11th), Jody Lesh of Castleton (9th) and Jody’s sister, Susan. The highlight of Nancy and Richard Schoppet’s weekend was a trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to celebrate Nancy’s birthday (we’ll keep you guessing on which one). The big, birthday was actually last week, but Nancy was down with the “bug”, so the event was rescheduled. What an extraordinary, simply fantastic time they had!! Yachts, sailboats, motor boats, everywhere— couldn’t tell whether the worst traffic jams were on the streets or in the rivers!! Yuuummmm—ate plenty of that fresh fish and Maryland crabs!! Enjoyed the historic buildings, the quaint shops and very unique art and crafts. And the “people watching” was really fun!! All kinds-stretched out on their vessels—nice tans, large fat ones, teeney tiny tots, a few Marilyn Monroes and Robert Redfords, the shriveled up kind, the elite, the rednecks, the college kids, the slobs, one or two Miss Americas, a Joe Atlas here and there, the average American, the average foreigner, you name it—they were all there. “People watching”— truly a fascinating past time. r ^r-V.-r u Photo courtesy of Harry A.

The Homemaker’s Corner Fresh, plump, juicy, vine ripened strawberries! “The thought is enough to make your mouth water,” states Eva Woofter, marketing specialist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. From the flat lands of the Tidewater region to the Blue Ridge Mountains, pickyour-own strawberry farms are open. To receive a copy of the 1985 Virginia Berry Guide which lists 45 locations statewide, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: PYO Berry Guide, VDACS, P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, Virginia 23209. “Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man’s habitation,” said Captain John Smith of Jamestown, when he arrived in 1607 to find strawberries growing in abundance with other native berries and fruits. Today, nearly 400 years later, consumers show that same appreciation for a variety of reasons. The naturally sweet strawberry is a very good source of Vitamin C, potassium and iron. Another reason for their popularity may be the fact that strawberries are the earliest fresh fruit locally available after a long, cold winter. The best assurance a consumer can have of the firm texture, lustrous color and full flavor of a top quality strawberry is to pick their own or buy directly from a producer’s roadside stand. Usually strawberries are sold by the pint or quart, but the following yields can serve as a guide when purchasing strawberries by the pound or by the crate: 1 quart equals 11/3 to 1/12 pounds 1 quart equals 3 cups capped berries 1 crate equals 16 quarts 1 crate yields 20-24 pints when freezing To savor the goodness of the Virginia strawberries, handle them with care, from the picking to the packing. To pick strawberries, always break the stew by pinching between the thumb and forefinger. Pulling the berry from the plant can bruise the fruit, loosen the cap or damage the plant. Strawberries are highly perishable and easily crushed. They lose quality rapidly when left at warm temperatures; therefore refrigerate berries as quickly as possible after arriving home. The prompt removal of field heat will slow the ripening process. Consume fresh strawberries or process within two to three days but wash and cap just before use. If capped before washing, flavor, juice and nutrients are lost. Strawberries are fragile, wash them in a bowl of cool water using an agitation motion. Do not wash berries under running water or soak, since they will absorb water. Berry Tips If you’re planning to pick your own berries this year, it is important to remember that berries are fragile. They need tender loving care in transporting from the field to home. If carried in the trunk of a car with the lid down, the berries are likely to be cooked or made into jam before they get home. Transport berries in small containers, being careful not to overcrowd. Place the picked berries in as cool and airy a location as possible. Carry them home and enjoy quickly. Freezingindividual Whole Strawberries May be frozen by washing, but not removing the caps. Dry berries on paper toweling; place on cookie sheets one layer deep and place in freezer. When frozen, pack the berries in freezer bags or containers and label. When ready to serve, pour out desired amount, thaw slightly; remove caps and prepare for serving. Return unused berries immediately to the freezer. Whole With Sugar In a shallow pan, add 3/4 cup sugar r to each quart of berries and mix thoroughly, but gently. Pack into container, leaving 1/2 inch headroom. Seal and freeze. Following is a delicious recipe guaranteed to please: Strawberry Angel Pie 4 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 cup sugar 11/2 cups heavy cream 2 pints strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced In a medium bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. In a greased 9-inch pie plate, spread meringue over bottom and sides. Spread 1/4 inch thick on bottom and 1 inch thick on sides. Bake at 275 degrees for one hour. Turn off oven and leave meringue in oven until cool. Whip cream. Spread half of whipped cream over meringue. Top with half of strawberries. Repeat layers. Refrigerate until served. Makes one 9-inch pie. _ Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley NEW OFFICERS FOR RCHS’s Future Homemakers of America were installed last week.

Area Archer Wins Freestyle Title In Virginia Open Archery Event By BOB McMEANS AmndtlNiwipapin Writer A Leesburg archer placed first in A Class freestyle unlimited competition recently in the Virginia Open Archery Championship in Staunton. Taylor Gibson, a retired electrician who built his first longbow some 30 years ago, scored 1,055 to win his event in the two-day archery contest May 18 and 19. More than 185 shooters from Virginia and neighboring states competed in the annual Virginia championship involving target and simulated setting shooting. Contestants shoot at 28 targets on Saturday at distances of 20 feet to 80 yards. On Sunday, they shoot at smaller targets at different distances for 14 targets and then shoot in hunting simulated settings at 14 animal targets. Gibson, his wife and three sons all shoot for eryoyment as well as competition. One of his sons killed two bucks with a bow last season. As a third place finisher in the state tournament several years ago myself, I can attest to the degree of proficiency necessary to finish first among all the top archers in the state, as well as the cream of the crop from all the nearby states. My sincere congratulations to you, Taylor. ***** Fishing has been good to Virginia anglers this year as records continue to be challenged — and broken. At this time, game and fish per*A* sonnel are investigating the potential of a third state record to topple already this year. Officially, the state record for largemouth bass was 16 pounds until Richard Tate of Ringgold took the new record fish from Lake Conners. The new record of 16 pounds, 4 ounces was probably up to 17 pounds at the time of netting, but because the fish died shortly after it was caught, it probably lost as much as % pounds in drying out in the cooler during several hours of continued fishing. Had Tate brought the fish in to an official weighing station immediately, he would have had a tougher mark for which other anglers could try. The old record of 16 pounds was caught just last year by L. J. Gunn of Mayo. Gunn will not be without a record, however, because the Virginia Game and Fish Biologists just certified his 5 pound, 4 ounce crappie as a new state record. Gunn caught the new record on March 21 in a south central Virginia private pond. He had two other crappie over three pounds that same day. Sounds like the man’s a highly successful fisherman to me!! The third record has not been certified as yet, although it has been weight certified. The fish was a 4 pound, 13V2 ounce brook trout caught in the Bullpasture River in Bath County, by Jay Austin of Buena Vista.

Solon caught a 4 pound, 4 ounce Brookie in North River. What a frustration to find out that, only hours later, his potential new record had been broken. Austin’s potential new record will undoubtedly be certified after all questions have been answered. We should all be happy about these new record fish, as it attests to the soundness of our fisheries program, and to the continued good fishing available to us here in Virginia. May 1 opened the 28th annual Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament. The tournament is openin all the saltwater areas of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries within the state, and all of the ocean surf between the Maryland state line and the North Carolina state line. Offshore ocean fishing is eligible, so long as the boat leaves from a Virginia marina and returns to a Virginia marina, without ever docking outside the state boundaries. All fish must be caught on rod and reel in a fair and sportsmanlike manner Twenty-two species of fish are fair game and anglers are eligible for citations for all species meeting minimum weight requirements. Some minimums are as follows: Spot - 1 pound, Croaker; 4 pounds, Speckled trout - 5 pounds, Flounder - 6 pounds, Gray trout - 12 pounds, Bluefish -16 pounds. Two local men already have qualified for citations on Bluefish: Lain Rustin, 12 pounds, 3 ounces, and Bruce Hanbeck, 16 pounds, 1 ounce. Officials expect to issue 5,000 citations between May 1 and Nov. 30, and first place trophies to the largest fish of each of the 22 categories. Keep us posted as you fish the saltwater areas this season, and we’ll let all of our readers know the success of local anglers. Fishing Update Rappahannock River - Smallmoyth action in the upper river is good with largemouth in tidal area of the river improving to good. Some nice stripers being taken in the short, legal area between the Route 3 and Route 1 bridges. Occoquan Reservoir - Producing some 2 to 3 pound bass on a crank-biats, and some nice crappie are still being caught. Lake Chesdin - The water level is low and crystal clear but fish are biting.

Katheryn Davis jumped 16’1” in the long jump, which was her season best, to place second in regional competition. At state she leaped 15’10” olacing her ninth and out of the finals. “In wrapping up the season, I can say that it was successful even though the team did not win a lot of meets,” Spieker said. “We lacked depth, but did well individually with 12 new athletes added to the record board at RCHS.” Students who have set school records this year are: Ricky Shaw, Jonathan Watson, Ronnie Atkins, James Dennis, David Fischbein (3), Jimmie Freeman, Anita Delgrosso (2), Heather Blevins, Denice Eidson, Karen Ludwick, Kelly Brown and Elizabeth Jenkins. Top dogs Local Hunts Win Divisions By CLIVE CARNIE Arundel Newspaper Writer The braying of hounds echoed across the grounds of the Oatlands Plantation near Leesburg Sunday, as hunts from as far as Ontario, Indiana and Georgia gathered for the Virginia Foxhound Club’s 39th annual show. More than 500 hounds from 38 hunts were entered in the popular show which is often the largest of its type in the country. Also encouraging to show organizers was the large number of spectators that turned out. Virginia hounds made a strong showing, with 11 of the state’s 18 recognized hunts sending entries. The Bull Run Hunt of Manassas and the Blue Ridge Hunt of Millwood did particularly well, each winning the prestigious huntsman’s championship for most points scored in their division during the show. The Virginia hunts were particularly strong in the American Foxhound division with the Bull Run Hunt winning three classes, placing second in eight and third in seven. One of the most emotional moments of the show came when Bull Run’s hound, Belmont, won the newr Warren Harrover Perpetual Trophy for single dog entered. The trophy, a bronze statue of a foxhound by Clayton Bright, was presented to Joanie Jones, master of the Bull Run Hunt, by Mr. and Mrs. James D. Harrover, parents of the late Warren Harrover who had been joint master of Bull Run with Mrs. Jones until his death in 1984. “When they announced we had won, I’m sitting there crying,” said Mrs. Jones later. “I’m thinking it’s THE WAKEFIELD GIRLS’ Tennis Team members are: 1-r; front row, Sharon McAllister, Valerie Seinier.

He’s normally a stallion hound, but we put him in entered dog because he’s such a grand old animal. We put everything we had in there.” Bull Run took first, second and third in the single dog class for unentered (non-hunted) hounds. The Manassas hunt i o won the prestigious pack class for ihe sixth time. Last year they retired' ti ophy in this class. The hum a total winnings for the show earned hunts-man Shelley O’Higgins first place, and $50, for accumulating the most points (38) of any hunt showing in the American Foxhounds division. Maryland’s Potomac Hunt finished second overall in the American division with 35 points and the Orange County Hunt of The Plains was third with 18 points. The Orange County Hunt won the couple of dogs class for entered hounds and the pack class for packs with over 20 couple. The hunt also took one second and two thirds under the guidance of huntsman Melvin Poe. Though he did not bring a large entry, James Atkins, huntsman'for the Old Dominion Hounds of Orlean, showed his hounds well. Old Dominion won the single and couple of bitch unentered classes and the best unentered hound class. Capt. Simon T.

DAR Participates In ‘Jameson Day’ By VIRGINIA R. CRIGLER Publicity Chairman, Culpeper NSDAR Speech making, dedication of markers, music, presentation of Colors, honoring the Flag of the United States and the Flag carried by the American Revolutionary soldiers, the flashing of the marque on the Second National Bank noting “Jameson Day” and welcome to the President General National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, meeting distinguished guests, dining and greeting friends - all this marked the many activities of “Jameson Day” as proclaimed by Mayor Rosenberg of Culpeper. May 14 was a big day and especially for the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter NSDAR who started making plans for this day more than a year ago. Many had a part in making this day a success and much of the credit goes to the main steering committee who were Mrs. Dale Metzinger, regent; Mrs. Edgar Puryear, general chairman and Mrs. Woodruff Kearns, arrangements chairman. The ceremony at the Culpeper Masonic Cemetery was emotionally effective to the large group in attendance which included a group of students from Floyd Binns Elementary School, especially interested in history who were chosen to attend this historical event. mm unsToa mum INCORPORATED IIMiMoIMmMI RtW 364-1566 IN ADDITION TO OUR REGULAR SALE ON JUNE 4, WE WILL OFFER APPROXIMATELY 120 CHAROLAIS & ANGUS COWS-WITH CALF ON SIDE.

Philip Cox, former executive assistant to the president of the American Security Council, the main speaker for this occasion, related the activities of John and David Jameson who were brothers and residents of Culpeper County and in closing said that the Jameson men were “good soldiers in war and good citizens in peace.” Both men were founding members of the Culpeper Masonic Lodge and also founding members of the Culpeper Minute Men Battalion in 1775 which was made up of men from counties now known as Culpeper, Rappahannock, Fauquier and Madison. Mrs. Walter Hughey King, president general NSDAR and a direct descendant of David Jameson, unveiled the patriot marker worded: “To the glory of God in memory of Lieutenant David Jameson founding member Culpeper Minute Men 1775. Mary Mennis, his wife, and Lieutenant Colonel John Jameson founding member Culpeper Minute Men 1775. September 23, 1780 by his order to apprehend became captor of Andre who was executed as a spy October 2,1780.” Mrs. King placed a wreath at the eral NSDAR; Mrs. Ralph Rhodes, vice president general NSDAR and many other state and district officers.

Jennifer Tickle, charter member of ASHBY’s GAP Children of the American Revolution, presented Mrs. King with a nosegay. Following the ceremony at the cemetery, more than 150 person were in attendance at the luncheon honoring Mrs. King at Lake of the Woods Club House. Other special gusts for the luncheon were Mrs. G.E. Honts, Jr., state regent Virginia NSDAR; Mrs. Eldred M. Yochim, first vice-president gen who fought for freedom and independence. She challenged all to be strong and courageous to meet the battles of today. Other challenges brought out by Mrs. King were: ideas and ideals worth fighting for in building citizenship, character and leadership. Instill in the youth of today a desire to serve and lead. Make life better, make life more secure. Weakness of character is leadership’s worst enemy. Blood, she said, was shed to make what we have. The luncheon hour closed with the group singing “God Bless America” led by Mrs. Woodruff Kearns. Extension N ews By BIRGITT THORNHILL Rappahannock County Extension Agent Virginia Tech was awarded a $50,165 grant this spring to provide special programs for financially stressed fanners. The Northern District Extension Staff is using its share of the grant to fund the Farm Financial Counseling Program. This program is a coordinated effort of Virginia Tech Extension, local Extension staffs, Extension Farm Management personnel, local agricultural lenders and trained Financial Counseling volunteers. During April, local Extension Agents have been identifying and recruiting volunteers to work with the project. To date over half of the needed 10-12 volunteers have been located. These volunteers, including retired lenders, Extension Agents and farmers, will be provided a training session so that they will be able to more efficiently service farmers who request assistance. Trained volunteers will be ready to go to work in the Northern Extension District on June 3. Call the Extension office now to get an early appointment. This type of assistance by Extension is not new except that volunteers have never been used to work in farm finance programs. Fungus Poisoning A fungus is believed to be the cause of a disorder that occurs among animals grazing fescue pasture. The fungus, called “tall fescue en dophyte,” is extensive in Virginia and is known to be a problem in other states also. Fescue is the primary pasture grass in many parts of Virginia for cattle, sheep, goats and horses. The fungus, which is scientifically identified as Acremonium coeniphialum, grows inside the fescue plant and is toxic to animals. It is believed to cause animals to show some or all of the following symptoms: rough hair coats, fever, sore feet, sloughing of switch (tail) or hoofs and an overall unthrifty appearance. Fescue toxicity is more costly to the producer as a cause of inefficient animal performance than as a cause of animal death. The following are ways to minimize the effects of endophytic fungus: -Seed legumes, such as ladino or red clover, with the fescue. -Since the toxicity is more of a problem in 80-85 degree temperatures, don’t use fescue as the primary summer feed. -Graze or harvest fescue before seedheads form. The fungus is transmitted and spread only through seeds, and apparently it is often most concentrated in the flowering tillers and seedheads. -Plant only fungus-free seeds. Fungus-free seeds such as the Forager, Kenhym and Johnstone varieties should be available in Virginia. The supply of fungus-free seeds of the popular Kentucky 31 variety is thought to be very limited.

Loudoun School Board Approves Sex Abuse Program A three-hour program on child sexual abuse will be presented this fall to fifth graders in three Loudoun schools. The Loudoun County School Board unanimously approved the pilot project this month and the curriculum which was developed jointly by school administrators and the Loudoun County Sexual Abuse Team. The team was formed last summer by agencies which handle cases of child sexual abuse. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jack T. Sutor Jr., Sheriff John R. Isom, Dr. Frances A. Goldman of the Mental Health Center and Ann VanDeventer of Child Protective Services are coordinating the agencies’ efforts in this increasing problem. In 1984, on average a new child sexual abuse case was reported in Loudoun about every other week. Now, the reports are rising in number. Child Protective Services received 14 new cases to investigate in April this year, VanDeventer said. Loudoun supervisors to discuss priorities The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors agreed unanimously to meet June 10 with its county administrator to discuss each’s role in running the county government. The meeting was suggested by Board Chairman Frank Raflo (D-Leesburg), who apparently isn’t pleased with the roles and responsibilities that the board and staff now have. Raflo initially suggested that the meeting be held at the Xerox Training Center, but Supervisor Thomas S. Dodson (D-Mercer) suggested that might not look good, since Xerox has a major rezoning application pending before the county. So the board will use its own conference room in the County Administration Building in Leesburg. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Although he hasn’t given specific examples, Raflo has said generally that he is concerned that the board of supervisors isn’t playing enough of a role in running the government and is delegating too much authority to staff. Loudoun awards $1.7 million landfill contract The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors unanimously awarded a $1.7 million contract on May 20 to Perry ( Engineering Company for work at the county landfill. Perry Engineering’s bid of $1,719,865 was recommended by government staff and was lower than two others from The Driggs Corporation ($1,735,000) and The Lane Construction Corporation ($2,460,000). The company will be performing excavation, closing off the existing fill area, and other work in the first phase of the landfill expansion project, which county voters approved in a bond referendum last November. Construction of the expanded area is expected to take 90-120 days, according to a government staff report. Chairman seeks 7 th term Saying experience is one his side, the chairman of the Fauquier School Board will seek appointment to his seventh term next month. C. Hunter Ritchie (Lee District), a retired 74-year-old Remington contractor, said his 24 years experience on the board “is one of the biggest things I can add.” The Fauquier School Board Selection Commission will meet June 21 in the Warren Green Building to reappoint Mr. Ritchie or to select another representative from Lee District. Mr. Ritchie’s term expires June 30. Summer jobs bountiful The summer employment market for teenagers is “about the best I’ve ever seen it,” says the Fauquier High School counselor in charge of job placement. Many companies and businesses have contacted the county’s only high school in search of summer help, according to Counselor Harriet Skolnick. Fast food restaurants and building contractors head the list of businesses seeking employees. Because of the building boom in Fauquier and numerous fast food eateries along the Warrenton bypass, Mrs. Skolnick believes many Fauquier high school students will work in the county this summer instead of searching for bigger bucks in Northern Virginia. School Board expects surplus The Fauquier School Board last week approved a $23 million 1985-86 spending plan that gives a 10 percent salary increase to all school personnel w and provides for 15 new teaching positions. In approving the new teaching positions as well as eight more clerical and maintenance jobs, the School Board went out on a financial limb based on the belief that projected surplus funds of $175,000 in fiscal 1986 would cover the cost of such payroll additions. School officials approved the new positions despite the Board of Supervisors decision to cut the school budget request by $1.3 million. The county has agreed to contribute tnore about $13.3 million to a total school of budget $23 million in fiscal 1986, which represents an increase of $1.8 million or 8.5 percent over the current total of $21.2 million. The balance of school funding will be covered by state and federal money. Merchants fight ‘ghost town’ Berryville merchants are worried their retail district may become a “ghost town” and have banded together in an effort to revitalize the business community. Michael Hobbart, chairman of a local chamber of commerce committee i which is studying ways to improve business in downtown Berryville, says there already are signs of decline in downtown. More and more professional offices are filling Main Street storefronts, a classic sign of a downtown retail district in trouble, said Hobbart. . A professional planner recently met with a handful of those merchants and told them they are on the right track to revitalize the town’s retail district. Lindley V. Pryor, executive director of a New York state organization known as Rural Revitalization, confirmed what the merchants had heard before: that a little attention to the appearance of their buidings can go a long way to inject new life into the downtown. Pryor, who agreed to detour through Berryville on his way to another community, also discussed the stiff competition the community faces from Apple Blossom Mall in neighboring Winchester. Clarke gels EPA study grant Clarke County will receive a $33,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to study groundwa ter pollution problems and to create a protection plan of land use policies. Most Clarke County homes depend on the fragile limestone formations to supply their drinking water. Recent reports have shown several hundred private wells to.have high concentrations of petroleum, possibly from leaking underground gasoline storage tanks. The study, which probably will depend on hydrologists and engineers to identify the county’s existing groundwater problems, is a first in this region and may be a first in Virginia, according to County Administrator Robert Lee. The study ties in with another three-year program, planned by the U.S. Geological Survey, which will map the county’s underground acquifers. It also will attempt to identify groundwater problems.

Endangered Animals Find A Safe The National Zoo’s Conservation And Research Center Offers A By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer \ person taking a trip to or from Front Royal on Route 522 for the first time cannot be blamed for stopping to take photographs. Photographs, not of the natural scenic beauty of this area, but of natural wonders transported to this area from all over the world. The wonders are animals whose species have dwindled to the point where extinction becomes an all too real possibility. That explains why camels and zebras can be seen grazing beside Route 522. It also explains the extensive fencing and the creme buildings with red roofs that stretch for a good distance along the road. Most of those buildings are remnants of the center’s early days when it was used as a calvary remount center and then as a German prisoner of war camp during World War II. The U.S. Department of Agriculture then took the land over and used it as a beef cattle research station. When the Department of Agriculture ceased operations at the station, various groups petitioned the government for use of the 4,500 acres. The National Zoo was granted 3,150 acres, and the rest was divided between the Treasury Department, the Northern Virginia 4-H Center and the Warren County School Board. “The Zoo’s needs for breeding animals, many of which were extinct in the wild, made it essential that the Zoo look at long-range breeding goals." said Mike Morgan. public information director. “That meant that we needed a large number of animals, and the Zoo has only 163 acres in D.C.” The 3.150 acres near Front Royal was exactly what the Zoo needed. “We w ere very pleased because we came into a place that had been used for livestock and that had graineries, buildings and utility lines," Morgan said. “At first more common animals were brought here, but now we’re pretty heavily into breeding more exotic animals.” Since there are only twTo other facilities in the country7 anything like the center, techniques had to be developed as time passed. “It has just been in the last 20 to 30 years that the realization that there isn’t an endless supply of animals in nature, and that in fact nature is disappearing, has hit,” Morgan said. “Just as in America during our early history when nature was not high on the nation’s priority list, the developing countries are now where animals are disappearing. We hope to be able to breed those species for 200 to 250 years in the future when they can be introduced back into the wild.” The process of introduction into the wild has already begun for the golden lion tamarins, a small monkey from Brazil. With over 200 tamarins bom at the Zoo and over 400 bom at the center, the breeding program for the tamarins has been highly successful. Some have been placed in a reserve in Brazil, and now the center is working with the Brazilian government to educate the people about the tamarin and its fight for survival. Many studies have to be made in a system of trial and error when members of an exotic species are first brought to the center. In the case of the tamarins, the center’s researchers found that mothers were abandoning their young becuase of elaborate social behavior patterns. Researchers found that tamarins pair bond for life, or select a mate for life, and that females usually give birth to twdns. After giving birth, the female tamarins at the center would not immediately abandon their young but eventually would. Young tamarins ride on the backs of their parents, and researchers discovered that in the wild the male tamarins had a definite responsibility to step in at a certain point and help the females carry the young. Without help, the females had to abandon the young when-they became too big for the mother to handle. Researchers then had to work on training the males to help carry the young. The center’s researchers also had to design the areas for the va DiC ur© ■ Custom Framins Art Supplies Fine Arts & Crafts hi5 LTD Hours: Tues.-Fri. 10-5 Sat. 9-2 NOW OPEN 77-D W.

The branches for the tamarins had to be arranged in a certain way so that the animals could carry on their communications. The tamarins, along with the Matschie’s tree kangaroos (a native of New Guinea and Australia), the tiger quolls (from Australia, looks much like a weasel), the Goeldi’s marmosets (small, black monkey from South America) and the Dik Diks (tiny deer named for the sound they make when frightened), are housed in a section of the center’s newest building. The building uses passive solar energy to g"‘ the animals a more natural setting. The other section of the building is used for the breeding of exotic birds. Quiet reigns in that section of the building as birds such as the Guam kingfisher or Guam rail nest in areas with seclusion provided by reeds and grasses. “We couldn’t provide this kind of atmosphere in an exhibit style zoo,” Morgan said. The public’s interest in the animals is evident as people slow down or stop along the road to catch a glimpse of the larger animals in their pastures. “A facility cannot be open to the public and be dedicated to conservation,” said Dr. Chris Wemmer, the curator in charge of the center. “Once a facility opens to the public, pure breeding programs are jeopardized and ways to give the public a satisfactory experience have to be found.” Dr. Wemmer said that the center used to have a visitor day once a year when people were selected on a lottery basis to tour the facility. “It cost a couple thousand dollars to do that because of the overtime and security measures in Photo courtesy /Jessie Cohen NZP Graphics AMONG THE BIRDS at the center are many species of cranes. This Manchurian crane preens in its outdoor yard. volved, and with the budget tightening we couldn’t afford to do it anymore,” Dr. Wemmer said. “Some people, of course, got turned down for the tours, so while it was nice for some, others weren’t satisfied.” - Dr. Wemmer said that he was aware that there are people who say, “Gee whiz, we don’t get to go in that place,, and it’s supported by tax payers’ money.” He Said that those people need to understand the benefits that the center has brought to the area. “Our employ 1,800 years, a native of China) and Przewalski’s horse (possibly extinct in native Mongolia, the only true wild horse species alive). There are 794 individual animals at the center, and many more species of mammals and birds than have been mentioned. All share a common need for a peaceful setting to breed and thus provide a chance for their species to survive: Since the animals’ needs for survival outweigh the public’s desire to view the animals, the center may receive much recognition from ees spend money in the area and we have preserved this land,” Dr. Wemmer said. “The public can see the animals from the road, so they’re not hidden.” The three species most often seen from the road are the Bactrian camel, the plain’s zebra and the sable antelope. Other animals taking advantage of the pastures at the center include the scimitarhomed oryx (a native of North Africa, creme colored with long horns curving over the back), Pere David’s deer (extinct in the wild for V (Continued on Page 15) Photo courtesy/CRC Archives ZEBRAS ARE SOME of the animals that motorists can see at times from Route 522.

The center’s operating budget is drawn from Congress’s appropriation for the National Zoo and from a private organization, the Friends of the Zoo, that raises funds for the Zoo. “We’ve been taking from Peter to pay Paul,” said Dr. Wemmer. “The budget for the Zoo has been $10 million, and the Conservation Center receives a little less than 10 percent of that.” During the summer, the center’s 45 employees receive help from students and volunteers. Besides caring for the animals, the workers have to maintain the grounds and harvest the center’s hay and alfalfa. The center grows enough to feed its animals and the animals in D.C. The center s successful breeding record has caused new hope that endangered species can be saved. i ne center s security record is also a success story. “We had one incident when someone shot a brown antlered deer by mistake, and we occasionally have a predator problem,” said Dr. Wemmer. Also, a hang glider once made a landing in the middle of the camel’s paddock. In the center’s history, though, there has been only one animal escape from the compound. “One snowy night, a camel got out because it had been fighting with another camel and it broke through the fence,” Dr. Wemmer said. “It was walking down 522 heading to town when we detoured it onto the back roads and into the paddock area.” Dr. Wemmer pointed out that many of the animals could go through the fences if they wanted to. “They would have to be under some kind of stress to break out,” Dr. Wemmer said. “Most animals would want to break in here.” Photo courtesy/Jessie Cohen NZP Graphics MATSCHIE’S TREE KANGAROOS receive a daily helping of celery.

The decline reflected the favorable economic conditions in Virginia, said Catherine S. Marschall, director of SBA’s Richmond office. Business bankruptcies in the state totaled 1,328 last year, compared to 1,416 in 1983. “Business bankruptcies reflect on a relatively small portion of small businesses that cease operation in any one year,” Mrs. Marschall said. "Most small firms go out of business by simply closing their doors. ” The SBA study showed there were 63,378 business bankruptcies nationwide last year, compared to 61,612 in 1983 and a record 68,447 in 1982. The study indicated that business bankrupticies declined in about half the states. Declines were most widespread in the Middle Atlantic states, the Northeast and the West. On the other hand, bankruptcies rose in the Farm Belt, where farmers and farm-related businesses face declining prices and sales. Bankruptcies also rose in the Pacific Northwest, where fishing and lumber industries have not shared fully in the nation’s overall economic health.

The new charge, mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), affects customers nationwide. Subscriber Line Charges, formerly called Access Charges, help cover the ongoing cost of maintaining the 24-hour connection between vour home or business and the local switching office. The cost of this letwork access is constant. It doesn’t vary, no matter how many calls you make or receive. Since long distance rates are coming down, you may see little change in your bill.

CENTEL Making good on the promises of telecommunications. @Cen,e''1965 weeks away, the Blue Ridge Hunt Show Saturday, June 1, at Foxcroft, is a prime j>rep event for many local horse owners. This year’s show, the hunt’s second at Foxcroft, appears likely to be as successful as last year’s when the hunt moved the show to the Middleburg school and found its entries increased dramatically. Breeding classes for thoroughbreds and non-thoroughbreds at Blue Ridge are often very popular as a prep, for horse and owner, for the Upperville show. Show manager Barbara Batterton feels this year’s divisions will be no exception. Jumper entries are also high, according to Mrs. Batterton. This division and the sidesaddle classes are very popular for spectators. “Bucky” Reynolds of Warrenton will judge the three-foot-six ring where the junior hunters, amateur owners, green working hunters and schooling jumpers will compete. Gene Pillion of Delaware, Ohio, will judge the breeding classes, Susan Shockey of Laurel, Md., will judge the pony ring and Kenneth Krone of Owings, Md., will judge the threefoot divisions. A full day of classes is planned for the show, rated “B” by the American and Virginian Horse Shows Associations (AHSA and VHSA). Four rings will be running simultaneously. The hunter divisions begin at 8 a.m., the pony divisions at 8:30 a.m., leadline and short stirrup at 9 a.m. and breeding classes at 11 a.m. For more information on the show call show secretary Mrs. Harry C.

The first of five counts in the suit l NUGGETS OF TRUTH By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. THE SONSHIP OF GOD Do you know our Father God is ever exisJ tent? He does not need any other source to i keep Him going. He is all in all; He is life; He is i light; He is love; He is the beginning and the | end. The bible says so. He created heaven and _< earth; and us from the earth. We are from Him ?We don't need anything but God to live; to have peace, joy, happiness and health. John 15:7 -) says, "If ye abide in me and my words abide in # you, ask what ye will and it shall be done unto T you The Apostle Paul knew he wets a son o 5 God. He knew that God yvould take care of his # children. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God f shall supply all your needs according to His J riches in glory by Christ Jesus". You see, we S become the Sons of God through Christ Jesus 5 John 1:12 says, "But as many as receive Him, # to them gave He power to become the sons oi jGod, even to them that believe on His name" # You see, as we become bom again, Jesus » gives us the power to become the sons of God. »Some people; even good church going people Jhave never learned the sonship of God. Re# member, Jesus said, "I give them power to be2come the sons of God". I would like you to read EPsalms 27: 1*5. Notice verse 4. It is King Da Jvid's writings, but, of course, inspired by God Sfthe Holy Ghost. (II Timothy 3:16). Let's look at £ Acts 17:28 & 29.

Robert j JDunphy Ministries, Route 1, Box 266, Sperry- 3 Jville, Va. 22740. Remember, JESUS IS LORD. S •He loves you and so do I. y This article sponsored by » ROBERT DUNPHY \ MINISTRIES, INC. 2 Rt. 1. Box 266. Sperryville. Va. 22740 makes the following allegations: that the use of the proposed site in the manner allowed by the permit “will be in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood,” which is now agricultural; that the use of the property will generate excessive traffic on Route 612 and on the Lozano property, which will have an adverse effect on “the peaceful use and enjoyment” of the Hall property. As a result, the Hall's property will decrease in value. Count one also alleges 1) that construction of a church, parsonage, access road and sewage system will pose a pollution hazard to the Thornton River and improvements on the Hall property; 2) that the trustees of the church were not qualified to apply for a special use permit because they were not the owners of the Lozano property at the time the application was made or at the time the permit was approved; 3) that the BZA violated portions of the Virginia Code and the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance by considering.the application and holding a public hearing despite defects in the application procedure. The following breaches are listed in the suit: 1) The applicant did not submit a proper site plan and maps; 2) Public notice wasn’t given of the BZA’s intent to grant a variance; 3) The zoning administrator did not give a copy of the application, maps and plans to the planning commission prior to the public hearing; 4) Thus the suit alleges that the Halls were deprived of “their rights to procedural due process and equal protection of the law, since they were unable to examine the application...maps and other information prior to the public hearing, and were given no notice whatsoever of the BZA’s intent to authorize a variance.” Counf one also alleges that the BZA, in approving a special use permit for a church and a parsonage, “authorized a more intensive use of the property than should have been approved.” The reason given is that in the past the BZA has consistently denied special use permit applications “for more than one dwelling on a lot if such lots were leas than 25 acres.” Count two alleges that the BZA acted in bad faith in approving the permit because it did not get legal adivice from Rappahannock’s county attorney on matters of law brought up by the Halls at the March 27 BZA meeting. Thus the suit claims the Halls are entitled to attorney’s fees. At issue in count three is the legality of a resubdivision in 1977 of the Lozano’s 26-acre parcel of land. That resubdivision divided the Lozano’s property into two tracts of 12.8 acres, one of which (tract two) they have contracted to sell to the trustees of the Sperryville Assembly of God. Count three states “the subdivision ordinance probibits the resubdivision of any lot in an administratively approved subdivision of five lots or less....” Then it alleges that tract two was a lot in an administratively approved subdivision of less than five lots. Count three lists a host of other reasons why the resubdivision in 1977 of the Lozano property was illegal. Count four alleges that the BZA, Board of Supervisors and zoning administrator were aware that the Lozano property was illegally resubdivided, yet each failed to act to rectify the matter by enforcing the Subdivision Ordinance. Thus count four states that the supervisors’ and BZA’s failure to take appropriate action has violated the Hall’s “rights, privileges, and immunities guaranteed by the...Constitution of Virginia, the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments” to the U.S. Constitution. Count five states that the Halls are suffering “irreparable harm” because of the BZA’s approval of the special use permit and the supervisors’ failure to take appropriate action by enforcing “its own ordinance” and correcting the illegal resubdivision of the Lozanos’ property. This article contained only highlights of the five counts listed in the lawsuit. A copy of the suit may be obtained at the clerk’s office. Historic District (Continued from Page 1) speculators.” The ordinance’s powers are derived from the state code. The ordinance would also give the ARB the power to prevent the demolishment of buildings with historical significance. People unhappy with ARB decisions will have the right to appeal to the town council and then to court if necessary. Mary Jamieson asked the planners whether or not the ordinance would have any effect on present “eyesores” in town. “Regrettably not because state law doesn’t go that far, and let me just say that if a building is in bad need of a coat of paint, the architectural review board does not have the power to go and tell them they have to paint their house,” Wickens said. The ARB would only have jurisdiction over exterior changes to a building already in existence. The planners recommended that ARB members serve four year terms with the first members serving two, three or four years to stagger the terms. A concern was raised that the orExpansion (Continued from Page 1) plications for employment.

Kvarnes said that the zoning ordinance would allow him to cover 80 percent of the land with buildings as long as he still had the required number of parking spaces. “I don’t intend to cover the land to that point, but I also don’t think that it would be fair to limit me,” Kvarnes said. “There would be no more than 100 craftspeople out there because there would be no more space.” He said that he would not intend to build more than six buildings in addition to the buildings already on the property. Each building could hold two to three craftspeople. Kramer said that that was the information he was looking for. BZA member James Swindler said that the people in the Sperryville area thought that the proposed crafts village would be a big improvement. The board members then considered the four findings necessary to grant a special use permit, and found all unanimously. The permit was granted contingent upon the highway department’s approval of the entrance way. “I think that it is a very fine proposition, and I hope that you succeed,” said Chairman Lee Bird. Top dogs (Continued from Page 10) lands, as he judged the English Foxhound division in 1970 and then returned to judge the American Foxhounds division iiy 1980. “I absolutely adored it,” said Capt. Clarke. “Judging today the improvement to my eye is tremendous, both in the actual hounds and in the presentation. I saw some very good dog hounds and the bitches were really good all the way through.” When judging hounds, Capt. Clarke said he is looking for an animal that is going “to go fastest for the furthest.” “Therefore you’ve got to have speed and stamina,” he added. “A straight leg, good shoulder, strong back and good feet are all important qualities.” In the English Foxhound division C. W. Nash, MFH of Wantage, Oxon, England, was judging his first show in America. However, he brought with him the valuable experience of having judged all the nrwqor hound shows in England, and the Dublin Show in Ireland. . “The quality was pretty good,” Mr. Nash said after the show. “Some of the bitches were a little disappointing. The dogs were very nice, the unentered were probably better, but I thought the champion bitch was exceptionally nice. “I thought it was a great show. There’s much more room here to see the hounds than there is in England.” Mr. Nash said that when judging he looks for a hound that is “a good, straight mover. I want him to have quality and move nice and flowingly.” In the English Foxhound division the Blue Ridge Hunt of Millwood won first place overall with an impressive 41 points. The Plum Run Hunt of Gettysburg, Pa., was second and Mr. Stewart’s Cheshire Foxhounds of Unionville, Pa., finished third overall. Under the guidance of huntsman Christopher Howells, Blue Ridge won seven classes, was second in five and third in four. Blue Ridge Progress was reserve champion English bitch and Blue Ridge Lowther was reserve English dog hound. . SUMMARIES: AMERICAN FOXHOUNDS. CHAMPION AMERICAN DOG HOUND. Ch. Potomac APPLEJACK, Res.

He said that the ordinance would not prevent a new building in town as long as the plans conformed to the town’s character. Planner Byrd Jones pointed out that the town already has many different architectural styles represented. “People weren’t alike, and they lived differently and did differently,” Jones said. Reynolds said that for anyone wishing to build “something very original and new, maybe this isn’t the place to do it.” He said that the ordinance would not mandate that all houses look the same. ‘‘Washington should never look the same, and I would never be in favor of that happening,” Reynolds said. The planners also added a sentence to the ordinance dealing with satellite television dishes. The sentence, added to section 7C of the ordinance, is “Satellite dish antennae shall, to the extent practicable, be screened from view.” DAVID R.BATCHELDER ——Class “A” ContractorCUSTOM BUILT TRADITIONAL, CONTEMPORARY AND SOLAR HOMES & ADDITIONS EXCELLENT REFERENCES FREE ESTIMATES 703-937-5226 Rt. 1, Box 620 Amissville, Va.

Spurgeon, published 1886 and made available through the ministry of the Anabaptist Fellowship, P.O. Box 248, Sperryville, Virginia 22740. ‘ ‘An Earnest Word with Those Who are Seeking Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ’' Do not attempt to touch yourself up and make yourself something other that) you really are; but come as you are to him who justifies the ungodly. A great artist some short time ago had painted a part of the corporation of the city in which he lived, and he wanted, for historic purposes, to include in his picture certain characters well known in the town. A crossing-sweeper, unkempt, ragged, filthy, was known to everybody, and there was a suitable place for him in the picture. The artist said to this ragged and rugged individual, “I will pay you well if you will come down to my studio and let me take your likeness.” He came round in the morning, but he was soon sent about his business; for he had washed his face, and combed his hair, and donned a respectable suit of clothes. He was needed as a beggar, and was not invited in any other capacity. Even so, the gospel will receive you into its halls if you come as a sinner, but not else. Wait not for reformation, but come and once for salvation. God justifieth the ungodly, and that takes you up where you now are: it meets you in your worst estate. Come in your deshabille. I mean, come to your heavenly Father in all your sin and sinfulness. Come to Jesus just as you are, leprous, filthy, naked, neither fit to live nor fit to die. Come, you that are the very sweepings of creation; come, though you hardly dare to hope for anything but death. Come, though despair is brooding over you, pressing upon your bosom like a horrible nightmare. Come and ask die Lord to justify another ungodly one. Why should he not? Come along with you; for this great mercy of God is meant for such as you are. I put it in the language of the text, and I cannot put it more strongly: the Lord God himself takes to himself this gracious title, “Him that justifieth the ungodly.” He makes just, and causes to be treated as just, those 1 who by nature are ungodly. Is not that a wonderful word for you? Reader, do not rise from your seat till you have well considered this matter. (conclusion of chapter one) * * * Thus ends chapter one of the little book, All of Grace, by Charles H. Spurgeon. There are several more chapters which will not be reprinted here. However, because we believe the book is worth reading, we will make photocopies of it available free of charge at our meetings. Some of the subjects covered are “What is faith?”, “Being bom again”, and “Eternal security”. We are continuing to have meetings each Saturday evening at 7:00 at the Sperryville Antique (Flea) Market. Brother Estep is currently teaching a series of lessons on knowing God, and Brother Marshall is expounding the New Testament book of Galatians, which deals with the freedom we have in Christ and the responsibilities that freedom carries with it. In addition to these lessons we sing, pray, fellowship and have refreshments. We have no formal “order of service” or ritual that we follow, but we do conduct ourselves decently and in order. In closing, consider a few thoughts on faith. What is it?. One good definition is that it is confidence in something. It certainly is not thinking that something might happen, but rather it is the assurance that something will happen. Therefore, the person who can say only that he hopes he is saved probably is not. “Without faith, it is impossible to please him,”, Hebrews 11:6. Therefore God has made it possible for us to KNOW that we are saved. “These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life”, I John 5:13. If anyone reading these words has a problem in this, perhaps God will help you through us. Please feel free to contact us. You may write to the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship, P. O.
