The candidate is expected to arrive in Washington at 3 p.m. to greet interested persons and to answer questions. Baliles is due to arrive at the law office of Doug Baumgardner on Main Street in Washington. It will be at least the second time a member of the Baliles family toured Rappahannock during the campaign for the Nov. 5 election. Jeannie Baliles stumped for her husband in this county on Sept. 10. Permits approved Special use permits requested by Claudia M. Trinca and C.E. Gallagher, Jr. were approved by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals on Sept. 25. The BZA also approved one of the permit requests submitted by Aileen, Inc. in Flint Hill. Aileen, Inc., which last month opened a factory outlet store near Flint Hill, filed permit requests to construct three advertising signs. The board approved one of those requests, to place a sign at the intersection of Va. 641 and U.S. 522. Requests for permission to place signs at Massies Comers and on its site near Flint Hill were denied. Trinca was issued a permit to establish an antique shop on Main Street in Sperryville, and Gallagher’s request to convert a workshop into a single family dwelling was approved. Pizza kits available Seventh graders at Rappahannock County Elementary School are taking orders for pizza kits to raise money for their annual trip to Williamsburg. A six-pizza kit, including cheese, pepperoni or sausage, costs $15.55. The kits also are available with deep dish or whole wheat dough for crusts. Additional pepperoni, cheese and sauce can be ordered. All orders must be placed by Wednesday by calling the school or Lynne Baines at 675-3253. The kits should be available on Oct. 23. * Cruelty charges filed Animal cruelty charges against an Arlington man who runs a horse farm here have been filed in Rappahannock General District Court. Waymon Heffner of Adam Street in Arlington is charged with neglecting an eightyear-old sorrel registered quarterhorse kept on a county farm. The criminal charges were brought by the Rappahannock Humane Society Oct. 4. An Oct. 29 court date has been set. According to the warrant, three veterinarians examined the horse, allegedly suffering from a dislocation of the fetlock, arthritis and from massive bone deterioration as a result of the dislocation. Two of those vets recommended that the horse be put down. Animal neglect is a Class 3 misdemeanor punishable by up to one-year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

But the complaints registered against at least parts of the proposed amended ordinance equalled the number of people who stood to speak. Still, an informal count recorded a majority of those who spoke as favoring the ordinance as presented at the two-hour hearing Tuesday night. Nearly 100 people appeared at the Rappahannock r Elementary School auditorium for the Hearing which was far less volatile than a similar forum held in August 1984 when a proposed zoning ordinance was first presented. And while the tone of the speakers strongly supported the concept of zoning to preserve the wide open spaces that have become a treasured commodity in Rappahannock County, few speakers issued warnings that the proposal invited cronyism and nepotism between supervisors and their friends seeking exemptions from the ordinance. However, perhaps the biggest round of applause followed the comments of John Marshall Clark Jr. who spoke in favor of the proposal. Clark said he saw Prince William and Fauquier counties lose their rural identities, and said he believed Rap pahannock to be rural, agricultural land. “1 see this ordinance as a tool to help preserve that,” he said. Clark said the growth experienced to the north and east of Rappahannock will become an issue here since, he said, “distance is no longer a barrier.” With a population explosion come higher tax rates, he said. “Budgets, taxes and zoning go hand in hand,” he said. He added that “I don’t like to be told what to do with my property any more than anyone else does,” he said, but “I would be willing to give up a few splinters to save my woodpile.

The “good news” was read to Rappahannock School Board members by Chairman Beverly Massie during the board’s regular meeting on Tuesday. Superintendent Robert Estabrook said Rappahannock is number 42 on the waiting list. “1 estimate that we’ll be on the list for a year before any money is available,” Estabrook said. During much of Tuesday’s meeting, Estabrook updated the board on plans to deal with “shortcomings” in the system. He referred to the “Topics for Action” list presented to the board in August in response to an October, 1984 state administrative review team survey. He gave board members copies of a letter school administrators had presented to the Rappahannock News as their response to a series of articles on the survey in September. “I believe that the primary vehicle to discuss shortcomings and plans for the system’s future is the board’s monthly meetings,” Estabrook said. “I don’t like sloppy work, and I don’t like ending up in second place or worse,” he continued. Estabrook then used the 'Topics for Action” to illustrate what is being done in the system’s problem areas. In an effort to improve appropriate individualized instruction in the schools, Estabrook said he has applied for a Rappahannock team to participate in a better schools program of The Governor’s Center for Educational Innovation and Technology. Teams from 35 school divisions across the state will be chosen to observe exemplary practices at Varina High School in December and in the spring. Team members named in Estabrook’s application are himself, Massie, high school principal Please turn to page 18 Groups asks trash transport By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News staff writer Rappahannock County Supervisors have been asked to consider a plan to truck the county’s solid waste to landfills in other counties or pay to have it burned in Harrisonburg. It was the recommendation of the Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, a volunteer group studying trash disposal of Rappahannock, that Supervisors “immediately” reach an agreement with another county to accept this county’s trash for the next five years. The county landfill, the dumping place of some 14 tons of trash a day, is reaching capacity. It is expected to be filled by April 1086. The committee also recommended as a short-range goal that Supervisors contract to have the waste hauled. If no other county accepts trash from Rappahannock — which appears likely, according to the committee chairman — the group advised Supervisors to negotiate a contract with the Harrisonburg City Council to have Rappahannock’s burnable trash disposed by the “Resource Recovery Facility” which operates 11 months a year. Should both of those preferred options be closed, the committee suggests that the county start a program to “consolidate collection (transfer) sites to one central location.” Once that happens, the committee recommended that the current landfill “be closed at the earliest possible date.” The least preferable option the committee recommends includes a locally built landfill. The committee also included a list of “site selection criteria” for choosing a landfill site, should one become necessary. “There’s no question it’s going to be expensive” no matter what Supervisors Please turn to page 18 Library request postponed By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News staff writer A decision to grant a variance to expand the county library was postponed by the Washington Board of Zoning Appeals so it could gather more information. Librarian Grace Sims presented drawings of a plan to build on to the rear of the library, an expansion that would place the back wall of the facility five feet from the rear property line. The town zoning ordinance requires buildings to be at least 15 feet from rear and side property lines. Sims, who is also a member of a feasibility committee studying the proposed expansion, said that no piatte for the library’s lot, located at the comer of Calused a piatte for The Inn at Little Wash ington’s property to define the rear property line. At the beginning of the meeting, BZA Chairman Stu Willis read the town’s variance regulations from the zoning ordinance. The ordinance reads that no variance from any of its terms can be authorized unless the BZA finds that “strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship; (b)that such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district, and the same vicinity; and (c) that the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed” if the variance is granted. Sims said the library, which has 1,724 square feet of space now, should have 3,600 square feet according to state recommendations. “The hardship is to the people in the county if our library facilities aren’t what they should be,” Sims said. “We’ve known for a long time that we need to expand.” She outlined several alternative plans that the feasibility committee had discussed including one to acid a balcony, one to dig out a basement area and plans to expand on either side of the building. She said that each of the alternatives to building on to the rear were dismissed due to the need for more space than they would offer or their cost. The Friends of the Library will receive property across the street from the Please turn to page 17 One more exemption 6 warning’ By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Five property owners in Sperryville will receive at least one more letter from the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority .explaining the regulations and risks involved — including mandatory hookup that will probably cost the homeowner more than $8,000 — if they continue their requests to be exempted from the Sperryville Sewage System. The five potential customers have until Nov. 1 to either sign “user agreements” to be included on the system or gamble that the Virginia Department of Health will not condemn their present septic systems which could lead to a costly, mandatory hookup. The Rappahannock WSA, at its monthly meeting Thursday, authorized the letters be sent by Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the RappahannockRapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper. “People with requests for exemption pending should be made aware of the consequences of not signing to be on the system,” said Carson Johnson, WSA member. “If their systems aren’t approved, they will have to pay the costs to hookup.” lhe engineer, Hank Gerhart of Buchart-Hom, Inc., had estimated that the present hookup cost is averaging $8,000. Cilimberg said a public notice and newspaper coverage publicized the possible substantial costs to homeowners who refuse to sign an agreement and are then ordered to join the system. “It’s time to give one more warning to those five,” said Martin Woodard, WSA member. “It’s only fair play.” Jack Lockhart, county sanitarian with the health department, has conducted sight inspections of the property owners’ septic systems. “I talked to someone in the state (health department) office who thought that a sight inspection will not be enough for them to make a decision,” said WSA Chairman Bob Dennis. Cilimberg said he had been told that homeowners requesting exemption would need records from when their systems were installed. “They should realize that if they don’t have health department inspection records or other records from when their septic systems were installed indicating that all specifications were met, they will have trouble being exempted,” Cilimberg said. The property owners face another dilemma: They will not know until well after the Nov. 1 deadline whether their septic systems will meet state health department standards. “The government agencies involved won’t act on these policies for perhaps one to two years,” Gerhart said. “If those people are losers then, we won’t have enough money to cover for them, and I can’t wait past Nov. 1 to tell the contractor how many (septic) tanks to order.” Columbus Day observed Christopher Columbus may have sailed the ocean’s blue in 1492 and discovered the New World, but this year we celebrate Columbus Day on Monday, Oct. 14.

State abortion opponents picket hospitals From Staff and Wire Reports Anti-abortion activists picketed outside Fairfax Hospital and Richmond Memorial Hospit.il on Saturday, and 150 others staged an organized march past facilities in Fairfax County where abortions are performed. The sister demonstrations, part of a nationwide protest organized by the Christian Action Council, were designed to force hospitals to change their policies and stop doing abortions. About 30 people began picketing across from the main entrance of Fairfax Hospital at 10 a.m., distributing anti-abortion literature and waving signs proclaiming “Stop abortions” and “The hospital is killing babies,” hospital spokesman Lon Walls said. Guard unit reactivated FORT BELVOIR — Army Secretary John 0. Marsh Jr. joined Maryland and Virginia’s governors Saturday to mark the reactivation of an Army National Guard division that participated in the D-day invasion of Normandy during World War II. The 29th, which was deactivated 17 years ago, has been reorganized with 10,600 reservists from Maryland and Virginia. It is the only National Guard light infantry division of the Army. President Reagan sent a letter saying the division “epitomizes the longstanding American tradition of citizen soldiers, and continues to be a vital element in the defense of our nation. ” A crowd of about 5,000 attended the ceremony marking the division’s reactiviation. “You are part of the greatest Army in the world,” Marsh told the crowd. “It has kept the nation free. It is hope for a troubled world.” Also present were Virginia Gov. Charles Robb, Maryland Gov. Harry Hughes and Sen. John Warner, R-Va. The new division is headquartered at Fort Belvoir and under the command of Maj. Gen. James A. Baber III of Richmond. The blue and gray colors of the division hark back to the Civil War, when Virginia became a part of the Confederacy and Maryland remained in the federal Union. The division was dispersed in 1968 after 51 years of sevice, including combat in both world wars. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger in June 1984 marked the 40th anniversary of the invasion of Nor Virginia Roundup ^ mandy by announcing that the division would be reactivated. Paper seeks statements ROCKY MOUNT — Statements made by two men to police in a murder case are the same as any other piece of evidence, says a Franklin County prosecutor who refuses to release the documents. The prosecutor, Clifford Hapgood, likened the statements, described by lawyers as incriminating, to evidence such as a gun or a jar of moonshine. “You wouldn’t pass around the jar to sniff to see if it really was illegal whiskey,” Hapgood said. The Roanoke Times & World-News is seeking the statements, made by two Roanoke men to police after they were arrested on murder and robbery charges in August. Disclosure of the statements could damage the defendants’ right to a fair trial and would, at the least, cause the trial to be moved elsewhere, Hapgood said. Franklin County Circuit Judge B.A. Davis III said he would hear the issue Oct. 21. The statements were presented to General District Judge W.N. Alexander at preliminary hearings Thursday for Walter Milton Correll, 24, and John Marshall Dalton, 18. Alexander reviewed the reports, certified the charges to the grand jury, and returned the documents to Hapgood. The documents were withheld from the press. That process amounted to a closed hearing, newspaper attorney Thomas Lawson told Davis Friday. “We contend this was a judicial proceeding and as such must be public,” he said. Correll, Dalton and a 16-year-old are charged in the Aug. 10 stabbing death of Charles Bousman Jr., 24, of Wirtz. A preliminary hearing has not been set for the juvenile. Robb aides look ahead RICHMOND—In the fall, a young politician’s fancy turns to finding a new job. In the administration of Gov. Charles S. Robb, at least a dozen people already have left or made plans for the end of his term—generally outside of government. “I’ve been a newspaper reporter and in politics, and now I want to learn how business operates,” said George Stoddart, the governor’s press secretary who will become assistant to the chairman of Circuit City in February. Governors in Virginia can’t succeed themselves. On Jan. 11, a new governor, either Democrat Gerald Baliles or Republican Wyatt Durrette, will be inaugurated. Stoddart, a former political reporter for the Winchester Star, will serve out Robb’s four-year term. So will chief of staff David McCloud, who will become operating vice president of the Center for Innovative Technology. Others already have left, most of them for business or the half-private world of academia. Tim Sullivan, executive assistant for policy and planning, is now dean of the law school at the College of William & Mary. Charles Sydnor, once Robb’s speech writer, is president of Emory and Henry College. Judith Johnson, executive assistant for cabinet support, went to Systems Management American Corp. in Norfolk. Robert Grey was an Alcoholic Beverage Control commissioner who just joined the Richmond law firm of Mays, Valentine. Former Secretary of Administration Wayne Anderson is teaching at George Mason University. John Casteen left the office of education secretary to become president of the University of Connecticut. Mines in ‘rough shape9 WISE — Safety inspectors from the United Mine Workers union found small coal mines in southwest Virginia in “rough shape” during checks that are part of a three-state inspection program. Robert Phillips, a safety inspector with UMW District 28, said Friday his team inspected five coal mines this week, all small lease mines with 50 employees or less. “Every mine we’ve been to has had several different types of violations, some of them serious, some of them not so serious,” he said. “But they’ve all been in pretty rough shape.” ...... He said all the mines had roof control violations of various kinds. Roof falls are among major hazards in mining. „ Phillips said the inspections this week had been in Wise and Dickenson counties. He said there would be more inspections next week. The UMW has been making spot inspections at mines in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky coal counties. Cecil Roberts, UMW vice president, said Thursday in Charleston, W.Va., that these were the areas where most of the small mines fatalties had occurred this year. Annex ban sought After losing an industrial park, a shopping mall and thousands of dollars of annual tax revenue to Harrisonburg, Rocki, am County was eager to endorse a proposal being circulated by Roanoke County to outlaw annexation in Virginia. “We think any endorsement may lead to some change in the antiquated annexation laws in Virginia,” said Glenn Heatwole, a Rockingham County administrator. “This is the first time we’ve been asked to support any effort.” Rockingham, which gave up land to Harrisonburg in an annexation four years ago, is among four Virginia counties that have endorsed the resolution, said Athena Burton, vice chairman of the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. The others are Rockbridge, Southampton and St. Charles City, she said. The resolution is part of Roanoke County’s 1986 legislative package and could wind up as a bill before the General Assembly next year, Mrs. Burton said. The county wants cities and towns to be prohibited from annexing county land, which would eliminate annexation in Virginia. “Annexation consumes millions and millions of dollars annually in legal fees, and it inhibits the planning process,” she said. “If you remove all the urban areas into cities, it leaves crippled, rural counties without any tax base.” Approval of such a bill would leave cities and counties without any means of expanding economically, said Jim Campbell, director of intergovernmental affairs for the Virginia Municipal League. 1 ‘Box 48’ performance called ‘pure, visual delight’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* contributing writer “She’s done it, by George, she’s done it.” The audience at Saturday’s premiere performance of “Box 48" might have stolen that line from Professor Henry Higgons. Nash and her Last Minute Wood Company dancers have indeed done it, creating an hour and 10 minutes of pure visual delight on the Gay St. Theatre stage. •; They are a feast for the eyes. Nash’s choreography achieves professiopalism in the finest sense of the word in this production based on letters that have arrived over the years at box 48 on Woodville’s rural postal route. In too much of Nash’s previous work, the dancers have appeared to be separate units off in their own little worlds, improvising their hearts out. There’s no hint of improvisation in “Box 48”; the two years’ of effort that went into the piece are evident. Every flowing movement, every gliding step is exact. Nash borrows, and then makes what’s borrowed her own. In the first segment, she incorporates classical ballet movements that show off dancer Laura Crowne’s control and grace. Then, in the second segment, she shifts to an Oriental mode as Nan Reddick and Shew Waggener evoke flashes of Japanese Kabuki. Always the dancers move in synchronization; often they are mirror images of each other, down to small hand gestures and turns of the head. And the dance is synchronized with excerpts from Nash’s letters around which the piece revolves. At times the message blurs a little but it isn’t necessary to understand exactly what Nash is trying to say in order to enjoy — luxuriate — in what’s happening on stage. The first letter comes from the ultimate yuppie hippie gourmet who has discovered health food, sensual, self-indulgent health food. Crowne glides through elaborate cream sauces while Nash, Reddick, Waggener and Hunt Harris, their cheeks puffed out and arms held belly-like to the front, waddle through greasy bear meat. The set darkens and when the lights come on again, Nash is at the mail box for another letter. The mood has changed to sombei and sorrowful as Nash reads a rambling tale of religious conversion from her sister. In the third piece, Nash, blindfolded, is alternately led and abandoned, attracted and repelled, pushed then pulled, rejected then nurtured by Reddick. The piece illustrates — without narrative — the way of a love affair. The mood lightens again as the dancers don sunglasses, berets, ; leather jackets, furs, slouch ,hats, irridescent socks and golden slippers for a short number that’s pure fun, shades of Broadway chic and Chorus Line, a G-rated story of the sexual revolution. When the lights go up again, Nash is back at the mailbox, hesitancy evident at every movement as she struggles with herself before Gau works with ‘special’ people By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Susan Gau grew up knowing retarded children and doing volunteer work with them in Wisconsin. It was an experience and a purpose that would remain a part of her. When she went to college at the University of Wisconsin at EauClaire, she majored in social work and political science. She earned her masters of social work from the U niversity of Wisconsin. Gau worked in special education schools and as a counsellor for emotionally disturbed children in schools before taking a position with the Fauquier Family Guidance Serv ices a few years ago. In June, she became the Rappahannock- Rapidan Community Services Board mental retardation specialist in Rappahannock, too. She works in her office at Rappahannock Family Guidance Services Mondays, and sometimes puts in another halfday during the week. “The people I work with are unique and special, and they have a sparkle about them,” Gau said. “The most noticeable quality in most of them is they want to live everyday to the fullest and try things.” Her job as mental retardation specialist involves a variety of duties. She works with retarded children younger than three-years-old, ' to adults and with their families. She uses behavioral and thera peutic approaches to each individual’s special needs. “When someone calls with a question or need, I try to come up with an existing program to help them, or I try to create something to meet the need,” Gau said. Gau makes home visits besides keeping office hours, and she works with the schools to supplement programs. “I work with a special needs population with members who may have intellectual handicaps, but they can still learn and have a good time,” Gau said. “Their difficulties are more unique and their needs have to be addressed.” Some of the programs designed to help mentally retarded individuals are the Goldsboro House, a training group home where living skills are taught, and the Adult Day Program in Warrenton. Besides helping mentally retarded individuals to develop and learn, Gau also helps parents and family members to find support and answers. Respite care is one of the programs that provides weekend or day care for mentally retarded children for their families. Gau is also involved with a parent support group. “I’m a part of that group more to give direction and facilitate the sharing of feelings and problem solving,” Gau said. “The parents support each other.” Rappaijannocfe ilttos Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $10.00 Outside the U S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE () New () Renewal () Check Enclosed NAME____ ADDRESS___ CITY_ STATE___ ZIPSecond class postage paid at the Post Office at Warren ton, Va.

L J She helps parents of older mentally retarded people to find out more about vocational prospects for their children and answers questions about behavior problems. “The major issues for parents include knowing what to expect from their child since they don’t always know their child’s intellectual capabilities,” Gau said. “They learn that it’s a matter of setting the right limitations. Parents also have to work through their feelings and accept the fact that they have a mentally5 retarded child.” She said that parents deal with questions like how they can include a mentally retarded child in their lives, how to handle the public’s reaction to their child, how to get the programs and services their child needs and what their rights and their child’s rights are. “Parents are the imgor force behind getting what their child needs to develop,” Gau said. “No one knocks on their doors and says here’s a program for your child that’s scot-free. That’s a lot of responsibility for the parents.” Gau’s case load in Rappahannock is not large, but she said that more people are calling in with questions. She works with others in the Family Guidance Services office, with volunteer services and the Social Services Department to coordinate Susan Gau programs for every individual case. “I hope to find a volunteer to work with mentally retarded individuals on a one-on-one basis,” Gau said. “I’m also going to emphasize broadening socialization, recreation, independent living skills and leisure time skills opportunities for the mentally retarded. All of that will take time, but I hope to see it starting in a year.” HUNT COUNTRY NURSING SERVICES, INC.

District Court Thomas N. Borkey was found guilty in General District Court on Tuesday of driving on a suspended license. A failure to comply with an order by the Commonwealth’s Attorney was dismissed. Borkey was stopped by Rappahannock Deputy Facchina during a routine traffic check on July 14. Deputy Facchina testified that he had Borkey’s license checked and he received a report that the license had been suspended by DMV. Deputy Facchina said he advised Borkey that his license was suspended. “He said that he didn’t know it was suspended, but he did have some tickets,” Deputy Facchina said. Borkey’s license was suspended in April, and DMV had sent a notice to the Borkey household. Borkey testified that he did not see the notice until after he was stopped by Deputy Facchina. “My little brother received the letter, and he didn’t show it to me,” Borkey said. Borkey’s attorney, Doug Baumgardner, said Borkey was being forthright with the court or he would have denied ever seeing the letter. “Mr. Borkey is employed and in school and he needs his driver’s license to continue those activities,” Baumgardner said. “His record is not good, but he is young. If the court won’t consider the letter mixup as regards Mr. Borkey’s guilt or innocence, then I ask that it be considered in mitigation of the seriousness of the offense.” Judge John Alexander said that Borkey’s driving record did not indicate Borkey Valued his license. “This record and the way Mr. Borkey jerked the Commonwealth’s Attorney and the court around doesn’t speak well for his credibility,” Trudge Alexander said. Borkey had been scheduled to appear in court in August, but he asked Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke for a continuance because he said he was ill. Commonwealth’s Attorney Luke granted the continuance, but told Borkey that he would have to submit a doctor’s statement in 10 days. Borkey did not submit the statement. He testined that he had the doctor’s excuse, but was told by someone in the Commonwealth’s Attorney office that the case had been rescheduled for Oct. 1, and “not to worry about it.” Judge Alexander found Borkey guilty of driving on a suspended license and fined him $100 in addition to $20 costs. Borkey was sentenced to 10 days in jail with nine sus£ pended. His, operator’s license was suspentfe'dfor 90 days.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10,1985 r T Editorials The hearing What a relief it was on Monday to see that cool minds prevailed during a public hearing on a most explosive topic: zoning. Like John Clark Jr. said so simply, so sensibly: “I don’t like being told what to do with my property.” That sentiment runs deep, we suspect, even in those very much in agreement and support of the proposal presented Tuesday. Yet, the debate was kept to just that: A battle of words. And it was mild battle at that. Will the Supervisors make any changes in that proposed zoning ordinance before taking a vote to enact the document? We don’t know. Putting a crystal ball to local government officials is like trying to predict which way a squirrel will dart on the highway. We’d like to think they will at least consider some of the recommendations and suggestions offered at the hearing. The professional and mature and sophisicated manner in which they were offered Monday can only help in that regard. Committee work Serving on a committee for any project is a thankless job. ^ Anyone who haa volunteered for such a task knows that all too well. But a special group of Rappahannock County citizens should be recognized for a job very well done. The Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee under the chairmanship of Delbert Price made an outstanding, terribly thorough effort to relieve a problem they deeply wished to solve. On Monday of this week, it completed its task to recommend to the county’s board of supervisors a plan to dispose of this county’s daily output of 14 tons of trash. The group came forward on its own — and on the opposite side of the fence from the supervisors, we might add — to address a serious dilemma: The county’s landfill will be closed sometime in April, according to the best estimate. The committee volunteered to help and offer to do the necessary homework to seek out alternative methods of disposal. We rate that committee with having done “A” caliber work. r Rappahannock heritage— Big Mulkv Mountain Letters to the editor The forest, the park, an error To the editor: The past two issues of the Rappahannock News carried Greg Turner photos of (scenes within the) Shenandoah National Forest. Shenandoah is a national park administered by the Department of the Interior. The National Forest Service is an agency under the Department of Agriculture. While both agencies are similar in the eyes of the public, the park service mission is substantially different from that of the forest service and national parks like to be recognized for what they are. BILL HUDSON, Park Ranger, Statue of Liberty, New York, N.Y. Thanks for dance To the editor: The Rappahannock County High School Booster Club would like to thank all the students that came out to the “Rock ’n’ Roll Dance” held at the school last Friday night. We made approximately $350 which will go towards a marquee to be built in front of the school. Thank you Margret for being there and being our treasurer for all of these years. We would also like to thank the disc jockeys — Mike, Doug, Dexter, Bino and Willie for their part in making the evening such a success. Our sincere appreciation to the “Lee Family,” Marie Davis, Will Brown and Bob Chappell for the sound equipment and their expertise. And last but not least, a great big thank you to all the parents and Mrs. Hewitt who chaperoned that evening and/or provided us with the most delectable baked goods.

Inappropriate decision 1 o the editor: In 1973, I purchased 45 acres of land on the north side of Little Mulky Mountain. My neighbor to the south is John Dwyer and my neighbor to the north is the Aileen sewing factory. I have lived with my family on the property for about 18 months after we purchased it and since then I have used it for recreational purposes. I spent days and weekends in my log cabin which has a lovely view out to Chester Gap. The view includes the village of Flint Hill and the sewing factory. Through the years. I’ve become friends with my neighbor, Charlie Currence, who is the resident manager at the factory. In recent years, Charlie has told me disturbing news about layoffs and shortened work weeks. A month ago he told me that they were opening a factory outlet store in hopes, of improving sales and saving what increasingly appears to be a business in grave condition. I know that many of the people employed at the Aileen plant are citizens of Rappahannock County who will not be able to find jobs in the county if the factory closes and will not be able to find other jobs in the county. On Sept. 25th, Aileen appealed to the Board of Supervisors to put up signs in Flint Hill, at the south end of state route 641 and one for each direction on 211 at Massies Corner. Common sense makes it evident that the factory outlet store is not going to be patronized enough to help if it isn’t known about and won’t be discovered unless it is advertised from nearby roads which handle a large volume of traffic. Thus, the signs as requested are essential for the success of the store. It is my understanding that Mr. Dwyer spoke against the Supervisors granting permission for the signs and that after Mr. Dwyer’s statement, the Supervisors decided to permit only one sign in the town of Flint Hill. You don’t need a degree in marketing to see that one sign in Flint Hill isn’t going to be enough to get the needed business. The signs must be placed on 211. I don’t know what motivates Mr. Dwyer. Apparently, he sees the sewing factory as an eyesore in the county. I don’t consider it beautiful myself, but I live closer to it than Mr. Dwyer and, in my opinion, it is inoffensive. It is quiet and smokeless; it doesn’t hurt anyone. I look directly over ij as I sit on my picnic table on the .hide of Little Mulky and survey the beautiful Virginia landscape and it is not an eyesore. I suppose Mr. Dwyer has a heightened sensitivity to that same beauty of Rappahannock County. But then I wonder. How sensitive to architectural and rural landscape beauty can a person be who sits on a bulldozer and piles rocks up in a 12-foot wall around his home as if he were expecting a siege? Transforming a lovely, Virginia farm house into a fort displays a lack of sensitivity to me. But that’s his home and his business. It’s when Mr. Dwyer uses his power and presumes eloquence against the working people of Rappahannock that I become incensed. At a time when we all know that foreign imports are hurting America’s industry and no industry is being hurt more than textiles and garment manufacturing, it strikes me as not just selfish and arrogant of Mr. Dwyer, but downright unpatriotic to speak against a few road signs that may well be the key to hundreds of jobs for the citiziens of Rappahannock. JON HUR, Takoma Park, Md. (The Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals, not the county’s Supervisors, addressed the request from Aileen, Inc. -Ed.) off the cuff Haul McFarlane It’s really just a piece of iron bolted to a hunk of plywood. My old basketball goal is nothing fancy, mind you. It’s the wrong color, for crying out loud. - But, boy, how it is filled with history. And unfortunately, its history is also its future. Remember Hurricane Gloria? For us that may have been just a cloudy, breezy morning. In at my folks’ house on Long Island, old Gloria was as windy and as pushy as any bossy woman. She took with her the pine tree that was home to my basketball backboard, rim and net. And never mind that I hadn’t played in that back yard for a couple of years ever since I discovered old people get slower and can’t jump‘d high as 18-year-olds, and that basketball is a game where it is Hoops important to be fast and a good jumper. The tree was dying, a woodpecker practice ground. It probably would have crashed under the weight of my next free throw. But to lose it suddenly is similar to losing a pet; it never comes at an opportune time. It is a notation in time. For nearly as long as I can remember, I would wrap up in a sweat shirt or a hockey jersey, lie about having completed my homework, slap the old roundball and play some hoops. I was Clyde Frazier from the top of the key, Bill Bradley from the comer, Willis Reed along the baseline and at the comer of the lane. I was New York Knicks’ fan. Also, I was unbeatable on my home court. Wherever that was. It started on the swing set in the back yard when my father strung a goal about six feet off the ground, which was of proportionate height, seeing how I was only three feet off the ground. When the swing set rusted and blew away like dust, the court shifted to the frv nt yard, using the driveway as a baseline and the slate walkway as the three-second lane. The pole light was out of bounds and when the light broke, the grounds crew — Dad — was summoned. The garage was out of bounds on one side, the street (about 45 feet away) was out on the other. The garden was the forbidden zone policed by Mom. After my friends and I tore up the garden one afternoon, the court again shifted to the back yard, which by this time had become a regular sports complex: football, whiffleball, badminton and ice hockey when in season, archery before I sent an arrow through the awning, softball before I started breaking windows, soccer (see softball) and now, basketball. It is on that dirt court that I easily conjure fond memories: The triple overtime games of two-ontwo; the four-site tournament we rotated from one player’s house to the next; Tom fixing the egg-timer we used as our official, scoreboard clock, turning it back if his team was behind, moving it foward if his team was winning; bickering about who would pick up Mark who lived across town and was invariably without a ride; bickering over fouls, called or uncalled; bickering (we did a lot of that) about the score; the traditional Thanksgiving Eve night game complete with a sophisicated lighting system that just hours before was a collection of stray two-by-fours, an old flood light and a 50-foot extension cord; washing the basketball at halftime. Washing the basketball at halftime, Virginia? I was a peculiar child. Besides, the backyard court was dirt, which is how things get dirty. The court area used to be grass but no grass could ever survive the pounding we put to it. It was great. A ciothsline pinned to the ground was the out-of-bounds marker — the one sideline was extrapolated over the cesspool where the 60-foot court was marked by a 50-foot cord. The fence was out of bounds in the backcourt, the tree marked the baseline. For some reason I painted the backboard the same green as the house, and the rim, which was worn with age and abuse, was painted red, probably because those colors were available in the basement. We took it from there. Surprisingly, as bad as we were, we went through an awful lot of nets. And a lot of basketballs. The best w as the red, white and blue facsimile of that ball used in the old ABA. It bounced real high even on dirt and was easy to palm. And when it was washed in the upstairs sink it looked brand new and was even easier to grab. But what comes to mind first are the different games, the chronicles of boys growing up. Dad’s got some home movies, 8mm films of the different eras when pimples and long hair was the rage of the reunion games. But what Dad did not film w as the night we snuck out after the game, deep into the back yard to drink a beer, those eight-ounce numbers that teenagers like to try to chug. We must have been all of 16 years old and just so cool. Actually, we were freezing. It was about 14 degrees and windy and it was all we could do to keep from shivering and chattering our teeth, bragging the whole time about how much fun we were having. He also has no footage on the one night we thought our playing partners had been killed in an automobile crash at the comer near my house. Tom had gone to fetch Mark — again — and arrived shortly after the wreck. We were forced to delay the start of that game to call the police. There are no films about the games played in the mud, where the object of the defense was to force the offense into the real muddy parts of the court. In those games, I washed the ball after every quarter. There are probably written records of those games stashed away in somebody’s desk drawer, taken in that period of our lives when keeping such records was more important than learning to speak Spanish. Those records are no doubt stored near the 8th grade Engish papers we sometimes shared. Of importance, however, are the memories of mostly good times teenage boys made for themselves on that dirt court, between the clothesline behind mv parents’ house. Now, there will be no more. Woodpeckers weakened the treeGloria finished it off. The plywood backboard, long since rotted, was thrown in the garbage. The rim — minus two of those net hooks that broke off after some low-flying 18-foot jumpers — sits on an obscure shelf in the musty basement. Flakes of red paint, having chipped from the iron, are everywhere on that shelf. The grass in the back is growing again, having been granted the chance to breathe. pie basketball has leaked itself flat in the closet of my upstairs bedroom that overlooked the backyard sports facilities About the only thing fresh and functional are the memories.

This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Oct. 5, 1950 edition Congressman Burr Harrison was at the post offices of the county to greet his many friends. While at the courthouse in Washington, the congressman spied a weed growing on the Courthouse Lawn. Plucking the green specimen from the earth, he presented the item to Her Honor the Mayor, Mrs. George H. Davis Jr. Rev. Norman Flythe won first place in the womanless beauty contest at the Rappahannock County Fair. Dr. John Snead won second place and William Moffett third place. Nineteen men from Rappahannock County have been called for physical examination at Ft. Meyer.

Archie Bailey, Peter Estes and Jacob Sisk combined to win seven ribbons for exhibiting their hogs at the Atlantic Rural Exposition in Richmond, competition open to 4-H members and Future Farmers of America chapters. 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Oct. 13, 1960 edition Sarah Latham, of Amiss ville and editor of the Rappahannock News, rode with vice-presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, on the “Victory Train” from Washington, D.C. to Culpeper. Mr. Johnson was campaigning on a whistle stop tour. J. Rhodes Brown, of Sperryville, also rode the train. Raymond Johnson, leader of the Rappahannock Hikers Club, asks that everyone meet at the Sperryville School to initiate the hiking season. Damages were estimated at $1,900 to two cars but no serious personal injury was reported in a two-car, head-on collision Sunday on U.S. 211, two miles west of Amissville.

A pay telephone has been installed at Rappahannock County High School. Students may use it before and after lunch. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Oct. 8, 1970 edition Two lanes of progress opened through Rappahannock County as the highway department completed what is now the northbound lanes of U.S. 211 as a Washington bypass. Work continues on the other two lanes of the bypass and all through traffic is currently using it. The county’s supervisors authorized a letter be written and sent to the state department of education concerning the inferior work and design of the local high school building which has required ext msive repairs in what they felt was much too short a time. John Walker Jenkins resigned as deputy sheriff, a position he held for five years. According to the students at Rappahannock County High School, the ring dance Friday night was “the most.” About 170 students attended the dance, which featured the local band, “The Gravin’ Image.” A Clint Eastwood double feature, “Hang ’em High,” and “The Good, Bad and the Ugly” played at the Hillsdale Drive-in at Massies Comer. Highway department engineer James K. Skeens discussed the proposed project to replace a steel truss span across the Thorton River Laurel Mills Run with a new bridge. George Bowles Other offices at stake Whatever political news there is in this oddly quiet election year, it appears to be centered on the races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Very little of it has focused on the fact that all 100 seats in the House of Delegates are also up for election. Yet regardless of how the numbers turn out in those lower house races, there will be some important changes in the body. Some of its most powerful and respected war horses are bowing out. Going into the '85 election, there are 65 Democrats, 34 Republicans and one independent in the House. Neither party expects major changes as a result of the November balloting, however the Democrats appear a shade more optimistic than their GOP counterparts about the way things will look w hen the votes have been counted. Spokespersons for both parties addressed the matter in highly tentative terms. It should be noted that only the members of the House, with their two-year terms, are up for election. The senators, whose terms last for four years, will not face the voters until 1987. In the races tor the 1UU delegate seats there will be 79 Democrats, 59 Republicans and five independents in the running statewide. These numbers, of course, include both incumbents and challengers. According to the state GOP headquarters, this is the largest number of hopefuls the party has fielded in the House of Delegates sweepstakes. Of the 65-member Democratic majority, 39 are unopposed, and of the 34-member Republican minority, 18 will have no opposition. Thus 57, or more than half the nominees will have free rides to election. There will be five open seats this year, several of them representing the loss, by resignation or defeat, of some of the most powerful members of the House. In the 10th District Democratic Del. Mary Sue Terry is stepping down to run for attorney general. Democrat W. Roscoe Reynolds and Republican Harry Copenhaver, both of Martinsville, are contending for the open spot. In the 52nd District Democrat George Dowd of Dumries and Republican Jack Rollison III of Woodbridge are seeking the seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Floyd Bagley of Dumfries. There will be a three-way race in the 59th District to replace Del. Claude Anderson, chairman of the House Privileges and Elections Committee, who was defeated in last summer’s primary. The three are Democrat Watkins M. Abbitt Jr. of Appomattox, Republican James P. McClellan of Cumberland and independent Clyde Mayberry of Appomattox. Democrat Kenneth R. Melvin of Portsmouth’s 80th District defeated incumbent Del. L. Cleaves Manning in the summer Primary. He is unopposed and thus the House Black Caucus is assured one new member next year. In the 82nd District, GOP Del. Buster O’Brien also is bowing out to run for attorney general. Democrat Dean Lee and Republican Bob Purkey, both of Virginia Beach, are battling to fill that vacancy. There are other contests which could go either way. Both parties seem to agree that the outcome of the following may be some of the hardest to predict. One is the fight in the 10th between Democrat Roscoe Reynolds and Republican Harry Copenhaver for the Mary Sue Terry vacancy. Spokespersons for both parties were surprisingly modest in their expectations. A Republican staffer put the party’s gains at “one or two” while a Democratic counterpart ventured as high as “four or five” with a healthy dollop of good luck in a “best case” scenario. Oddly, neither party seemed to tie the House races to the outcome of the statewide races. Maybe they were concentrating too closely on the matter at hand. Or maybe they remember that in 1981 the Democrats swept the governorship, the lieutenant governorship and the attorney general elections with relative ease, but something funny happened in the House races which also took place that year. In those the Democrats lost eight seats to the Republicans for their worst General Assembly shellacking in modem Virginia history! Photo Couitesy/Hazel M.

House tour, flower sale, set Oct. 19-20 The 29th annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held Oct. 19-20. The event, held every year during the height of the fall colors, is presented by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish. Headquarters will be the parish hall of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. That weekend, homes will be open on Saturday from 11 a. m. until 5 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Block tickets are on sale for $5 and tickets for each house are $2. A box lunch will be provided by the women of Washington First Baptist Church on both days at the headquarters. Tea will be served both days at Ben Venue, six miles east of Washington. One of the houses open will be the Rush River House, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Leggett. This contemporary house in Harris Hollow four miles northeast of Washington at the approach to Big Devil Stairs once served as a ski lodge. It is located approximately four miles northwest of Washington on Va. 622. It was begun in 1949 by Mr. Hickman, a Rappahannock County lawyer. During the period from 1959 to 1973, it served as a ski lodge while the nearby slopes were in operation. The property was bought by the Leggetts in 1978 and they renovated it by adding a dining room, with sconces by Charles Eldred, a long deck surrounding the stately old sycamore and a lovely cherry kitchen with skylights looking up a hillside covered with fern and rhododendron. The house is comfortable, bright and roomy, intended as a central point for gatherings of both sides of the Leggett family. The 1984 addition of a guest house, reminiscent of an old coach house, creates the impression of a European farm/manor. The design of the addition by Gene Leggett was carried out by Peter Kreyling. It is connected to the main residence by a stone walk at the second floor level of both. The interior of the guest house is of warm, natural wood and features three sizeable bedrooms and a large cathedral ceilinged living/sitting/ play room with a large river-rock fireplace at the north end. One long wall of the five outsized windows overlooks the 52-foot swimming pool whose ceiling/roof composed primarily of skylights, is supported by massive beams of laminated wood. In one comer of the enclosure is a fountain of riversmoothed rocks built by a local mason, Terry Waggener. The lower floor features four garages and a workshop. The property’s atmosphere is one of leisurely comfort with room for work — or where a gathering of sports cars, limos or horse and October garden notes By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent • If the weather stays dry enough before the ground freezes, you can plow. Fall plowing allows earlier planting in the spring and is especially good for heavy soils since they are exposed to the freezing and thawing action of winter. This will help improve your soil’s structure. • Remove any diseased or insectinfested plant material from your garden. It may harbor overwintering stages of disease and insect pests. If you leave this plant material in your garden, you are leaving diseases and insects which will begin to reproduce again next spring and add to next year’s pest problem. • Pumpkins which are free from insects, disease or damage will keep two to three months if stored at 5055 degrees F with a relative humidity of 70-75 percent. • Fertilize trees and shrubs that have shown signs of weak growth after they are dormant but before soil temperature drops below 45 degrees F. • Clean up home orchard and small fruit plantings. Sanitation is essential for good maintenance. Dried fruits of “mummies” carry disease organisms through the winter to attack next year’s crop. • If you have a sunny area to naturalize with small flowering annuals, sow seeds of sweet alyssum or johnny-jump-ups. They will come up this fall or early spring and bloom extra early next spring. Both are very hardy and self-seed readily to maintain the natural area. • House plants will slow down growth as the days get shorter and light intensity is reduced. This means that they will need less frequent watering ant’ fertilizing until next spring. Too much of either in the winter months can cause weak growth. • Do not become alarmed if your yews, pines, aroorvites and junipers begin to shed their innermost needles. It is natural for them to do so at this time of year. • Fall is an excellent time for taking soil samples in your lawn and garden.

National 4-H Week: More than RappahanmK'k News Photo SUSANNAH McNEAR poses with her lamb after competing in the 4-H Farm Show in July. President Reagan recognizes 4-H President Ronald Reagan recently proclaimed the week of Oct. 6-12 National 4-H Week. Hd extended his “heartiest congratulations” to the 4.5 million youth members and the more than 630,000 4-H volunteer leaders across the country. He saluted the 4-H members who are developing their lifeskills, and the volunteer leaders “...for your commitment to strengthening American families and communities, by teaching such skills to others." He also commended the total 4-H program's science, technology and human relations achievements in food and fiber, natural resources, nutrition and volunteerism. Noting that 1985 is the International Youth Year, the president said, “I especially applaud your i r J '• > t | cross-cultural education projects In this country and the similar 4-H type programs in over 80 other countries throughout the world.” The 4-H program here in Rappahannock, as it is elsewhere across the nation, is the educational program for youth, ages nine to 19, of the Cooperative Extension Service System. Extension is a three-way partnership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its extension service, state land-grant universities and county governments. The \olunteers mentioned by the president, and the private sector donors who participate in the program, are often described as fourth partners by those officially a part of the nationwide 4-H system. Jeff Dwyer has been a volunteer project leader for the Sperryville Community 4-H Club many times in the past two years. He has led projects on bicycle safety and his “specialty” — wood-working. Although he was in 4-H only one year in school, he knows what a great experience it can be. "I enjoy working with the kids and sharing what L’ve learned,” ,J*ff said. “I recommend volunteering jto my friends and any adult because they will get a lot of satisfaction from it, too.” Rappahannock 4-H Achievement Night was held Tuesday to honor 4H’ers and volunteers for their contributions to the county’s 4-H programs. 4-H alumni cite 4-H life-long influence What do a surgeon, a pharmacist, a home economics teacher, a dietician, a registered nurse, a lawyer, a social worker, a secretary, an interior designer, a journalist and a chemical engineer all have in common? Everyone of them was a 4-H member — and beyond that, each of them was a national winner in the 4H bread program during the period from 1965-1975. What does bread baking have to do with these professions? According to these winners, the skills of making bread may not have been of primary importance as they pursue their career goals. But every one of them cites the 4-H experience as contributing measurably to their success in life. One of the common denominators running through reports from some 2,000 winners not only in the bfead program but also in a wide range of 4-H projects, is the value and importance of goal setting and record keeping. A junior high school teacher and a 1968 winner in the bread program said, “I realize that many of the qualities I need to succeed I learned in 4-H — the ability to set objectives, to set reasonable goals, to be organized, to keep records, to speak in public and to deal with a variety of people.” An agricultural winner reported that “feed rations on my farm are constantly changing. Most changes, however, usually refer back to basic information from 4-H. Record keeping which was required in every 4-H project prepared me for record keeping today.” Similarly, a health scientist credits record keeping as the best and most helpful skill learned in 4-H. “The ability to document progress, set goals and come to conclusions are skills required in research — skills that were taught in 4-H.” Still other alumni report how their 4-H experience served as a stepping stone to careers. A medical doctor writes that his interest in photography led him into a career of specialization in laser microsurgery of the eye. A dairy foods winner said her interest in food led her to obtain a degree in biochemical nutrition. A research scientist in processed meats said his career choice was a natural outgrowth of his 4-H experience. A journalist said he is “often in the public eye and public speaking skills are important. My exposure to public speaking as a teenager helped me to develop the poise and assertiveness to raise questions at press conferences, to articulate and to think and speak on one’s feet.” Still others cite 4-H for its influence on personal development and attitudes. An achievement winner, now a manager of agricultural development in Latin America, said, “4->H provided an arena to learn about lift"; its challenges and success, at an early age. It helped teach me to be competitive, yet to be sensitive and to appreciate that anything can be accomplished if you approach it correctly and work hard enough.” A beef nutritionist said that 4-H is a major factor in development of his self-image and value system. An engineer said 4-H was a useful tool in growing up to become a warmer, more caring person. The 4-H pledge lives on as well. A petroleum power winner wrote, “As I have gotten older and more mature, the motto continues to have greater significance in that head, heart, hands and health are all delicately interrelated with one not being able to function 100 percent without the others.” These are just a few samples of alumni enthusiasm for 4-H reflected in a nationwide survey being conducted by National 4-H Council.

Head, Heart, Hands and Health Rappahannock joins National 4-H celebration Rappahannock 4-H’ers are among nearly 4.5 million young people across the country who will participate in the National 4-H Week pelebration from Oct. 6-12. This year’s theme is “4-H For Youth, For America.” It is through the network of volunteer leaders, state land-grant universities, state and local governments and the U.S. Department of Agriculture that 4-H has been able to stimulate youth to develop life skills. In Rappahannock, 30-40 adult volunteer leaders work with about 300 boys and girls from nine to 19 years of age in two 4-H clubs, in fourth, fifth and sixth grades and at the high school level through the Cooperative Extension Service at Virginia Tech. Birgitt Thornhill, Extension Agent, said two new 4-H clubs are planned for Washington and Amissville. Addditional adult volunteers are always needed. 4-H volunteer leaders conduct a variety of 4-H projects and activities of interest to 4-H members. But, as volunteers, they don’t have to be experts in the specialized subject areas they teach. Volunteer leaders receive training and obtain educational materials and resources to use in the 4-H program from the Extension Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The more than 630,000 teen and adult 4-H volunteer leaders are an essential component in the delivery of services to the nearly 4.5 million 4-H members nationwide. Volunteering is a major factor in making the 4-H program so cost-effective. The estimated value of 4-H volunteer services annually is about $1.1 billion. Volunteering is a two-way street. It is mutually beneficial to adult leaders and youth alike. Volunteers derive personal benefits from their experiences, while at the same time help youth to learn skills in 4-H that last a lifetime. Volunteers learn methods for teaching citizenship and leadership skills at county, state, regional and national leader training forums. And they have an opportunity to meet other 4-H leaders and learn about innovative projects. Many other volunteer opportunities exist. “Being a 4-H leader provides an excellent opportunity for personal development,” said Beth Stout, Rappahannock Home Extension Agent. Everyone deserves the opportunity to contribute voluntarily to his or her community. Take advantage of that opportunity by becoming a 4H volunteer leader. For more information about how to become involved as a 4-H volunteer leader, contact the agents at Rappahannock’s Extension office by calling 675-3619. yam:' ELIZABETH SCHERSCHEL July working with her horse.

The Overtons turn Toil House into ‘Forest’ By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Ned and Alica Overton remember driving by the Toll House on Route 211 and thinking how perfect the historical little building would be for an antiques and crafts business. They were members of a cooperative shop in Gainesville where seven antique dealers took turns selling their wares. “We decided we were ready to branch out,” said Alica. The two noticed a For Rent sign at the Toll House, they contacted the owner and opened their “Enchanted Forest” antiques and crafts shop three weeks ago. “We opened the front room on the first weekend, but people would walk right through to the back room and then want to go upstairs,” Alica said. “The building is so appealing that people want to come in and see it besides looking at what we have to sell.” The building was built in 1850 and served as the Toll House for travelers on the Sperryville Turnpike. There are three rooms downstairs and an upstairs loft room. The Overtons use one of the downstairs rooms as an office. Ned and Alica had intended to rent out the back and upstairs to other business people but decided against it when they noticed the customers’ interest in all of the rooms. “We like having everything ours because, at the end of the day, everything in the cash box is ours, too,” said Ned. ‘We had to hustle, though, to find more furniture and crafts to put in the other rooms.” The Overtons get most of their furniture at auctions and many of the hand crafts are made by people in Northern Virginia. “Since we’ve opened, people have come in and told us that they have pieces of furniture to sell, which is a real advantage to having our own place,” Ned said. We’re also building up quite a portfolio of crafts people’s names since someone we deal with will refer us to others.” Ned said that he and Alica have become more active in acquiring furniture and crafts since opening the " shop so they can keep the three rooms filled with quality antiques and crafts. We have met so many nice people doing this, and both of us enjoy the work equally,” said Alica. “Usually the woman is the one who would enjoy this more, but we both like going to auctions, talking to dealers and working in the shop.” The two share an interest in antiques because they both grew up with antique furniture, said Ned. Their love for certain pieces interferes with their business at times. “One time, there was a piece that Alica kept marking the price up on because she wanted it, so I finally told her to take it home,” Ned said. “I’m going to keep this oak dresser.” They work together at the shop on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. “We’re hoping to have someone else keep the same hours for us on Thursdays and Fridays, but we’re committed to the shop on the weekends,” Alica said. She said that business has been surprisingly good for the shop due partly to the weekend weather. “I think that we’ll have repeat customers when they find out our hours,” Ned said. Alica and Ned both have fulltime jobs during the week. Alica works as a business administrator for a software company, and Ned is a fireman in Prince William County. They have lived in Rappahannock since 1981, and they are building a new home. Ned and Alica plan to keep the “Enchanted Forest” open year-round. “It is nice to be on our own,” Alica said. ‘We like being independent.” Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner THE QUAINTNESS of the Toll House blends perfectly with Ned and Alica Overton’s “Enchanted Forest’’ antique shop. ALICA OVERTON stands in one of the shop’s rooms. The Overtons have had to go to more sales to keep the rooms filled with quality antiques and crafts. LFCC offers seminar Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown will offer an office communications seminar and a non-credit investment course this month. The seminar will be held 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18., at the college conference center. The seminar fee is $50 per person. Hospice volunteers sought in county The hospice of the Rapidan is in need of volunteers to assist with the terminally ill within its service area which includes parts of Rappahannock County. Training classes have been scheduled in October at the Culpeper Memorial Hospital on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and one Saturday session. Complete information can be obtained by calling the hospice office at 825-4840 weekday mornings, or by calling Rosemary Sheatsley at 9486140. $23M spent to clear snow Although the summer officially ended just some two weeks ago, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation reminds us that winter will soon be on its way. And last winter, the department said it spent more than $23 million dollars to keep the roads clear of snow and ice. Still, that figure is lower than the record $28 million spent in the winter of 1981-82. The department also said it dumped some 293 tons of “abrasives,” 117 tons of road salt and 2,100 tons of calcium chloride on to snow and ice-covered roads. Last winter, the department spent $4.3 million for clearing the interstate system, $11 million for the primary system and $8.3 million for secondary roads, according to department figures. In the Bristol district, in Southwest Virginia, some $2.5 million was spent to clear the highways, more than in any single district. The least amoung spent in any one district was in Suffolk where slightly more than $500,000 was spent. That area near the Tidewater sees more winter rain than the snow and ice felt by inland areas.

Oak Springs Nursing Home 347-4770, ext. 264 Community bonds, rallies behind leukemia victim family DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt contributing writer Living in a small town, or a small county like Rappahannock, friends know when you’re in trouble. And knowing, they can help. Seven-year-old Jessie Waites is in trouble and her friends are trying to help. Jessie has leukemia. A lifethreatening form of cancer of the blood, Jessie’s disease was diagnosed two weeks ago. She is now a patient at Georgetown University’s Vince Lombardy Cancer Research Center, receiving chemotherapy on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Jessie’s mother, Lanise Waites, was a resident of Rappahannock County until last year when she moved into Washington, D.C. to be closer to her job in the psychiatric ward of the Washington Hospital Center. But she always considered the relocation to be temporary and planned to return as soon as she could to the country. Economics kept her in the city; nurses’ salaries are higher there than at Fauquier Hospital, the Rappahannock Clinic or Primavera Alcohol Treatment Center, where she worked while living in Rappahannock. And, as a divorcee, she needed the additional income. Lanise has hospitalization for Jessie, but insurance, no matter how comprehensive, never covers all the costs of an extended hospital stay. And Jessie’s stay will be extended. Her doctors see her treatment continuing for three to four years before, they hope, her leukemia goes into extended remission. In the meantime, Lanise has been forced to take off from work without pay in order to remain with her daughter around the clock as Jessie copes with the side-effects, the nausea and pain, of chemotherapy and other treatments. Lanise Waites needed more than moral support, comfort and solace from her friends; she needed financial help. So the Jessie Waites Fund was organized last week. “Lanise is all alone. She’s divorced, her mother and father are both dead. She doesn’t really have anybody she can turn to,” said Rae Haase, one of the founders of the group. The word traveled. Castleton’s firefighters agreed to loan the use of their fire hall for a benefit dinner Oct. 25. A score and seven cooks were called and asked to donate a pan of lasagne each. Theresa Reynolds and Barbara Jolley, bakers for The Inn at Little Washington, said they would make the French bread. Joyce Abell consented to oversee the salad committee. Patrick O’Connell and Reinhart Lynch from The Inn inquired whether they could make a donation of wine for the benefit dinner. Terry Waggoner and Vincent Day, the Rappahannock duo that entertains musically at Shenandoah National Park’s Sky land, volunteered to play dinner music. Other volunteers were assigned to make iced tea, salad dressing, garlic butter and desserts. The Fauquier Democrat agreed to print tickets for the dinner at cost. Local artists Dan Lewis, Davette Leonard, Laurie Marshall, Linda Heimstra and Rex Slack were tapped for advertising posters. Diana and Lee Bird, Alan and Joanne Berkowitz and Julie and Howard Coon each gave $50 to start an account for the Jessie Waites Fund at Rapphannock National Bank. On a second front, Washington Volunteer Fire Department agreed to the use of its building for a benefit dance later in the year. Local and not-so-local musicians volunteered to play. And on a third front, a quick survey was made of potential donors with A-positive blood, Jessie’s type. A list was drawn up and a schedule worked out for volunteers to give blood when they visit the girl at Georgetown Hospital. “Everyone has been so supportive and so helpful,” said Susan Turner, another organizer. “Now all we need is for people to attend the benefit dinner.” The menu includes lasagne, both with and without meat, garlic French bread, salad, iced tea, coffee and cider. Dessert will be sold separately. Advance tickets, at $6 for adults, $3 for children, will be on sale soon at Bramble’s Cafe, the Middle St. Gallery and Washington Video. Tickets will be $7 at the door. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Jessie Waite Fund may do so. The mailing address is P.O. Box 277, Washington, Va., 22747. Contributions made in this manner are not tax deductible. However, Community Action of Fauquier County has agreed to be a sponsoring agency through which larger, tax deductible donations can be made. More information may be obtained by calling Cherry Vanneman at 937-4456 during the evening.

Spectators watch Wakefield and Rappahanrock fight it out. Wakefield wins homecoming match, alumni return By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer Wakefield School held its third annual homecoming last weekend, which was highlighted by a hardfought soccer match against neighboring Rappahannock High School. The festivities began on Friday afternoon with a pep rally in the school’s auditorium. Each class in the prep school presented a short skit with a homecoming theme and the homecoming queen and her court were announced. Lisa Johnson, a senior from Delaplane, was chosen as the queen by a vote of her classmates. Members of the court were: junior — Susan Yeaman, of Culpeper; sophomore — Terri Tarr, of Amissville; freshman — Brenna Ballentine, of Midland; and eighth grade — Carrie Beeton, of Markham. Friday evening there was a traditional bonfire that was attended by numerous alumni, students, faculty and parents. A large “W” was set aflame and fireworks, which were buried in the pyre, exploded as a grand finale. Saturday morning, grades 1-7 held all-star soccer games that served as the culmination to their recent class units on soccer. The pregame festivities also included the presentation of the fall stars —members of the soccer, hockey, volleyball and cross country teams. At this time, the homecoming queen and her court were Dresented with their sashes ancnoouijuets. Following the presentations, the National Anthem was played and the Colors were presented by senior Molly Dunning, of Boyce, and junior Nicholas Longerbeam, of Berryville. The soccer match featured a tough defensive battle as Wakefield edged neighboring Rappahannock High 3-1. Both teams entered the game fired up as each school had held rallies the previous evening to generate enthusiasm for the match. As the game began, the emotional level of the two teams became evident as they struggled up and down the field with neither team gaining a clear edge on the other. However, late in the first half, Wakefield opened the scoring as Larry Tarr, of Warrenton, netted a fast break pass from David Rowzie, of Amissville. Minutes later, Ed McGushin, of Haymarket, scored on another fast break to give Wakefield a 2-0 lead, which they carried to halftime. In the second half, Rappahannock stormed out attacking the Wakefield goal at every possible instance until full back Thomas Bergmann scored on a penalty kick mid-way through the half. However, the Wakefield defense stepped its level of play up a notch, thwarting all Rappahannock attempts to score. After one more tally late in the game, Wakefield emerged victorious with a 3-1 win. A Following the game, there was a reception at Trinity Manor, the home of Mrs. William Lynn, Sr., for the visiting alumni. Many students at Wakefield, both past and present, have described the school as “one big family,” and that spirit was much in evidence last weekend. The Wakefield classes of 1984 and 1985 were the best represented during the weekend with over 40 percent of the graduates of those classes attending. The group included those attending universities in several states with majors ranging from political science to pre-med, but an informal survey showed that the career of choice was veterinary medicine. The Wakefield alumni present, in addition to attending classes and playing sports, participate in a variety of other activities. They pilot airplanes, sell real estate, lector at church Youth Masses and volunteer time to the American Red Cross teaching Advanced First Aid and CPR. Alumni of Wakefield now total over 100, the most recent class of 1985 being the sixth class to graduate. At last count, the alumni were attending over 15 different colleges L=J 'Eileen Af. Dny OMMTHWM .'ir* DEPRECIATION CHANGE It wasn’t too long ago (prior to 1980) that the depreciation schedule on investment property ran all the way up to 40 years. In other words, you could deduct l/40th of the purchase price per year from other income. Then the ACRS rule lowered that depreciation time to only 15 years. This means you could receive your depreciation benefit in about half the time ... a great boost to real estate investors. Now, the 1984 Tax Reform Act has changed that rule again after a tough battle in congress. The depreciation time has now been increased to 18 years for property placed in service after March 15th, 1984. The major exception is that low income housing is not affected by the new law. Let’s put things into perspective. The difference between 15 years and 18 years for straight line depreciation is not all that much difference when compared to the prior law that required up to a 40 year period. You can still write off property in half the time - even though the market value, almost without exception, will continue to rise.

The Wakefield Owl Wakefield soccer team undefeated By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Having completed nearly one third of the season, Wakefield’s varsity soccer team has once again survived formidable opponents to remain undefeated. By means of hard work and perserverance, the team has now raised its record to 5-0 with two recent victories over perennial rivals Seton School and Rappahannock High School. In the match against Seton, Wakefield outlasted their opponents to raise Wakefield’s conference record to 2-0. A balanced scoring attack keyed the victory as eight different players each scored a goal en route to the 8-4 final score. Halfback Jordan Bentley, of Middleburg, and forwards Marc Foerstemann, of Huntly, and Jeff Rozic, of Front Royal, each turned in impressive performances in the contest. The homecoming match against Rappahannock High School ended in a 3-1 victory for Wakefield. The junior varsity soccer team journeyed to Linton Hall this week for a difficult match. Linton Hall was able to slip six goals past the Wakefield team in the first half of play. During the second half, Jerry Latell, of Huntly, scored, making the score 6-1. Linton Hall turned around and scored again to make the final score 7-1 in their favor. Wakefield’s varsity field hockey team played Fauquier High School this week in a long-awaited match. The game was held at the 4-H Center near Front Royal, which serves as Wakefield’s home field. In the first half, Fauquier dominated the play sending the ball powerfully across the field. At the close of the first half, Wakefield began to play a more vigorous game and Annie Dunning, of Boyce, was able to score in a fast break. After an invigorating halftime talk by Coach Barbara Todd, Wakefield returned to the field eager for a win. In the second half, Wakefield’s skills improved tremendously and once again Dunning scored. The game ended with a 4-2 victory for Fauquier, but the Wakefield team is undaunted and eagerly awaits this week’s match against St. Anne’s Bellfield.

Hospital tour takes Rappahannock residents to Russia By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A place where the food is not very good, facilities are not very modern and where visitors feel detached or disliked is hardly a place people visit on vacation. The Soviet Union may not be known as the vacation capitol of the world, but an increasing number of people do visit the country, usually for educational purposes. A tour of hospitals in Russia, the largest of 15 Soviet Union republics, was the reason for three Rappahannock residents’ visit in June. Dr. Bill Young, his wife, Mitzie, and Grace Sims toured Russia for three weeks with a group of American psychiatrists. 'Hie Youngs visited the Soviet Union once 12 years ago, but their Uur this time was concentrated in Siberia. Siberia, notorious in this country for its prison camps and no-man’s land for banished dissentients, is a vast region of frozen tundra, forests and marsh land w here the only seasons are winter and summer. There are also three cities in Siberia with populations of a half million people. “I noticed that there weren’t many Mongolian or Eskimo-looking people there,” Dr. Young said. “Then I realized that so many people were transported or re-located to Siberia by the government.” He also noticed a lack of eye contact with people. “I felt detached much of the time because there wasn’t very much eye contact or many smiles exchanged,” he said. The group traveled a lot at night on trains, buses, subways and a hydrofoil, which were clean and modern. The hotel accommodations are still below what the West offers, the Youngs said. Western hospitals are superior to those Dr. Young toured in Russia, too. “The hospitals there are equal to what we had in the 1950s or earlier in psychiatric and medical care,” he said. “Their psychiatric concepts are sound and they use the same medicines we do, but the medicines are in short supply and the buildings are old. Hospitals in surrounding counties here are far superior to theirs.” He said that one person in the group was sick in Russia. “He told us he had terrible care in the hospital,” Dr. Young said. The Youngs said that Russia combines the attributes of a modem country with those of a third world country. “Their poverty exceeds ours, but there are no street people there because everyone has some place to go,” said Mrs. Young. “They showed our street people a lot on television. ” Though the Youngs could not understand what the Russian announcers were saying, they could make good guesses from the pictures used. “They showed protestors being loaded in paddy wagons at the South African embassay in Washington, D.C.,” Mrs. Young said. “It didn’t take knowledge of Russian to know what point they were making.” They said they understood how the Russian people are made to believe everything bad about the U.S. “We were able to pick up the Voice of America in certain places, but otherwise there was only a biweekly English paper that is written as if nothing America is doing is right,” Mrs. Young said. “There are no American papers or magazines at all.” They brought the papers back and will donate them to the Rappahannock Library. They said they talked to a few Russians and had interesting conversations with some. “We met some who are dissatisfied with the system and others who believe very much in the system,” Dr. Young said. “It is unfortunate when our gov Photo Courtesy/B ill Young ALL OF the rooms in this apartment building in Bratsk are 9x9x9 modular units. The Youngs said the Soviet government is building huge apartment complexes like this one to alleviate the country’s housing shortage.

Photo Courtesy/Bill Young THE YOUNGS visited a few tourist attractions including Peter the Great’s estate in Moscow. emment takes such a hostile stance, though,” said Mrs. Young. “We were asked if we believed that the Soviet Union is ‘an evil empire,’ and we had to say no. We use terms like that that you can’t even base an intelligent argument on when they use words like ‘imperialism’ and ‘hegemony’ against us.” The Youngs did take time to go shopping and walking around the cities. “It’s not as different as you would anticipate because we don’t look different, so people didn’t notice us,” Dr. Young said. “They are wearing more Western-type clothing now and more colors.” Although the government is making blue jeans now, Western jeans are still in high demand — “We were stopped several times by people wanting to buy Bill’s (Dr. Young’s) jeans right off his body,” Mrs. Young said. Western music is popular in Russia, too, “and a real effort to emulate our music,” Mrs. Young said. The Youngs were able to travel most anywhere they wanted, but they knew about closed cities and other places where no one could enter without a pass. “Language and time restricted us more than anything else, but I did feel a sense of enmity there,” Dr. Young said. “We did meet another Rappahannock person, Nancy Buntin, at Red Square in Moscow!” The Youngs said they would not mind taking another trip to the Soviet Union. “Next time, I’d want to go to a prettier part, though, because we haven’t seen very much that’s pretty there yet,” Mrs. Young said. They will share more about their trip to Russia through a slide presentation on Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock Library. The public is invited. k m.- .. % k,...

Stuart Streets, The Plains, Virginia Runners suffer from two sources Rappahannock County boys cross country runners defeated Randolph-Macon Academy Monday and Massanutten Military Academy. That was the good news for the school’s teams. Most all the rest of the news was bad. The boys lost to Warren County in the same meet, and lost to Strasburg. And the girls’ team lost to Massanutten and Strasburg when it was unable to field a team because of illness and defeated Warren County when the Wildcats were unable to field a team. The flu bug is about the only runnner in local girls cross country. A keen competitive spirit is developing among Jonathan Watson,, Marley Hay and John Dodson for the top spot. Watson finished first among Rappahannock runners against RMA and Warren County Monday; Hay topped the Panther finishers against Strasburg and Massanutten. For the girls, the key may just be getting healthy. The Panthers were beaten by illness against Strasburg and are still working to get back in shape after missing the Oct. 2 event. Rappahannock was to run at George Mason yesterday and host Brentsville Wednesday in the season finale. ‘Box 48’ Continued from page 2 background, the letter, now read by Harris, becomes poetry: Dancers are weird. Actually, I love the way dancers talk about their bodies. It’s how poets talk about words, as though they were intimate, mysterious household pets they lived with, But apart from. (Nash explains later that the lines are from a pen pal she’s never met, a professor at the University of Arizona she read about in People Magazine. She wrote him; he wrote back and now they’ve been corresponding for three years. Says Nash: “He writes wonderful letters!”) Costumes simple; colors exotic In her costume choice, Nash shows the impact of simplicity. The dancers are in leotards, dressed up by flowing skirt or pantaloon, tunic, white shirt and tie, cat eye sunglasses and fur wrap. The lack of complexity in the costumes contrasts with the brilliantly exotic colors of the leotards: carmine, cinnamon, cerulean, magenta, mahogany and amber. The shades are deepened and strengthened by blue spotlights and the midnight blue backdrop of Gay Street’s curtains. And the dancers themselves boast the finest collection of bodies since the ancient Greeks carved and sculpted their heroic figures. Lithe, supple, muscular, athletic and graceful, Julie Coon, Laura Crowne, Hunt Harris, Nan Reddick and Sherre Waggener exemplify the perfection that the human form can attain. RAAC’s Gay St. Theatre is the perfect setting for “Box 48,” allowing an intimacy with the dancers that would be impossible in a larger hall. But Nash and her Last Minute Wood Company deserve an audience far larger than the 150 or so who can squeeze in the Washington theatre. “Box 48” would not look out of place on the Warner Theatre’s stage in Washington, D.C. Here, in Little Washington, it is wondrous. “Box 48” will be performed again tomorrow at Gay St. Theatre at 8 p.m. THIS LOST DOG is believed to be a runaway pet from his Rappahannock County home. If it looks familiar the owners are requested to call county animal warden Jack Bruce.

The library’s septic field is on that side, though, and no building is allowed over a septic field, she said. ‘We’re just catching up now. We don’t have a quiet place to read, there’s no room for a staff office and we need another exit’ -Grace Sims “We were told that the only way not to destroy any part ol' the building would be to build on the back," Sims said. “Going to the sides is not good for the building, and we would need more staff for supervision." The rear addition would provide 840 square feet .more space, bringing the total to 2,524 square te'-t, “We’re just catching up now. Sims said. “We don't have a qua -, place to read, there's no room for a staff office and we need another e.\it We’ve also been asked to provide handicapped access." BZA member, Charles E hired, asked Sims if the feasibility committee had asked about the poesi uun of moving the library’s septic field. Sims said that Jack Lockhart had told her that the septic field could not be moved since it would be too close to a well on The Inn's property. “You could talk to Patnck and Reinhardt (The Inn’s owners) about filling in the well since they’re on the town water system,’’ Eldred said “Then you could move the seytjig field and build without needing a variance.” Virginia Lindstrorn, a Washington resident, had previously favored no additions to the present library building because of its historical and architectural significance. At (he BZA meeting, she favored-plans to add on to the south side of t he building. “We could see about m wing the drain field and filling in the w-k." Lindstrorn said. “An addi* m would be more attractive on tin side." Sims said that any side addition could only be connected through one door, which would mean that mere staff would be needed in the library “The plans for rear expansion would mean that we would be able to oversee the library with our one or two staff people since there would be a straight line of vision,” Sims said. Dean Morehouse, BZA member, suggested that the variance request be deferred while more information is being gathered. “You need to find out if you can build on the side without a variance, including whether or not' you can move the septic feild. and you need a platte of the lot,” said Morehouse. “You need to come back to us with plans if your only possibility means you have to have a variance." The hearing on the variance was adjourned to Oct. Ill at 7:30 p.m. In other business, the BZ A denied a variance request submitted by Kermit Weakley by a 3-2 vote. Weakley sought the variance so he could build a carport on to his garage. He said that it would be used to protect his travel trailer from snow and other harsh weather. "I have back problems, and 1 won’t be able to go out and clean it off this winter,” Weakley said. “The house didn’t conform to the set-back requirements the ordinance when I bought it because it was built before 1970.” Eldred said Weakley's request did not meet the ordinance’s definition of “undue hardship" if the variance was not granted. The town BZA will meet on the fourth Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. Free landfill available at school The Building Trades Department at Rappahannock County High School is offering free landfill items including broken brick and block and chunks of concrete. Materials can be secured by ca mg Mr. Vickers during the sch< hours at 675-8575. Also, the department is in need of a time clock for use with students in carpentry.

Committee Continued from page 1 decide, said Delbert Price, chairman of the committee. No action was taken when the recommendations were presented to the Supervisors Monday. Price said the option of hauling waste to another county appears to be unavailable, according to preliminary discussions. “They’ve all said, ‘Sorry, we can’t take anybody else’s trash,’ ” Price told Supervisors. Still, the three options presented Monday are considered short-range goals, according to Price. The six-member committee, which was formed after the group protested the site of an earlier Supervisor proposal to build a landfill, offered long-range plans which do not recommend duhiping trash in a local landfill. Once the immediate problem of disposing trash is remedied, the committee suggests the county negotiate with areas currently building “resource recovery centers” to enter into a long-term contract to bum local trash. Currently, such centers are under construction in Fairfax and Arlington counties. The committee also suggests that the county begin to “aggressively promote a regional approach to solid waste management” either through the current planning district or by creating a new regional authority. It is also suggested as long-range planning to develop “appropriate signage” at all county solid waste units, enforce the laws pertaining to solid waste disposal and develop a “county-wide public information and education program...to advise and instruct the public” on solid waste management. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey thanked the committee and said the board would “take this under consideration.” In other matters. Supervisors: -heard that the Sperryville sewer project is still behind schedule — “We have some catching up to do,” said Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rapidan-Rappahannock Planning District Commission. Cilimberg also suggested a policy whereby the county building inspector would be trained and authorized to approve any future residential hookups to the system. Supervisors favored the proposal. Zoning Continued from page 1 advancing from the east.” Bob Eastham, on the other hand, warned that the ordinance was too restrictive, that only wealthy people could afford to buy land under minimum-acre regulations. Eastham accused the county’s planning commission and board of supervisors of making Rappahannock County “a nursing home for the aged and suppressing the hopes of young families trying to form families.” He urged supervisors to delay a vote “until thoroughly discussing” the proposed ordinance. Newbill Miller of the planning commission told the audience that he “heard some new things tonight” and that “I intend to think about those things.” Miller also said the ordinance will be reviewed at planning commission meeting Oct. 17. Supervisors meet regularly on Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. However, no timetable for voting on the ordinance was offered. Washington attorney Frank Reynolds said the zoning ordinance which includes special exemptions and special permits “was exactly the way to go” to properly control growth. Reynolds told the group an attempt to keep out newcomers with the “wall approach won’t work,” that the county will “have to accommodate" some growth but does not “have to invite the wrong kind” of expansion. Reynolds also said the ordinance can be viewed in two lights: as a “restriction on your own” land, and as “protection against an encroaching neighbor.” Reynolds used the example, “there’s nothing wrong with putting a church in a residential neighborhood” except when “you have to park your car in the other guy’s driveway.” Despite “some reservations” about the mechanics of the ordinance, Reynolds asked that the ordinance be “adopted as soon as possible.” However, Forrest Whorton said the ordinance favors those “who have moved recently” into the county. Whorton said the ordinance prohibits small landowners from building houses and “really benefits the wealthy people.” “There are so many more out there who are against it, I assure you,” Whorton told the audience. On another front, Carson Johnson expressed a reservation that those expecting the ordinance to work will be “real disappointed” unless “it is enforced,” he said. “If it’s carried out like it’s written,” however, Johnson said the ordinance will work. “If we’re going to have (a zoning ordinance) let’s have it fair, have it administered fair,” Johnson said. Johnson added that he was skeptical that too much power was left to the zoning administrator. “If he’s a friend of yours, you can do anything,” Johnson said. Former zoning administrator David Konick thanked the planning commission for writing an ordinance to “protect Rapphannock County.” Konick said that without zoning, a contractor “who has the brains and who has the money who doesn’t give a damn about Rappahannock County, will come in here, make a lot of money and wants to make a quick buck and get the hell out of here before you know what happened.” He also said Fauquier County “changes every day and it’s going to be here before you know it.” Bob Dennis of the Piedmont Environmental Council said of the proposal: “I think it will help all of us” and suggested it was “time to move ahead” and pass the ordinance despite it containing what he called “some quirks.” However, not every speaker believed in the success of the ordinance. Eastham, who claimed the ordinance was a close duplication — “word for word” in some sections — of that in effect in Fauquier County (Fauquier planner Richard McNear also drafted the Rappahannock proposal), asked if the proposal is expected to stop congestion in Rappahannock, “why in the the hell hasn’t it” in Fauquier? Eastham also blamed the planners and supervisors for making few changes in the proposal, despite hearings and meetings held in each of the five districts. Eastham, the most aggressive protestor Tuesday, also warned that the ordinance “is a perfect vehicle” to continue what he termed “this game of favoritism.” Supervisors Nelson Lane and Clarence Baldwin voiced their support for the proposal, although Lane said, “ I don’t think this ordinance even pretends to stop development.” And Tom White, a Flint Hill landowner said he supports the ordinance. However, he, too, said he has “some reservations” about not having elected officials in control of the ordinance. Still, White said, “I feel it would be good for the county. ” High school Continued from page 1 Robert Chappell and high school teacher Helen LaCava. Estabrook cited examples of various committees that incorporate community members, school faculty and administrators as the system’s answer to improving community involvement with the schools. He said a high school newsletter has been started. Administrators have planned activities for the three teacher inservice days as an improvement, Estabrook said. To create more effective administrative/staff communication, he said adminstrators are staying in their offices more to be available. Increased administration supervisory support has been addressed by a new teacher workshop, committees and plans for adminstrators to take over classrooms for a few days. One of the committees involves 25 teachers who have volunteered to help write curriculums for all subject areas incorporating state Standards of Learning. “We have outlines of curriculums now, but nothing to tell us exactly what is expected of the youngsters,” said Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell. “I have no notion of how long it could take, but we’ll write our own curriculums for every subject area.” Estabrook said he will update the board on plans to address other “Topics for Action.” “We’re going to get some things done,” Estabrook said. “We shouldn’t compromise high standards and I think that we have the staff that can make sure that doesn’t happen.” Massie said she was proud of the meeting because of the evidence of hard work in various areas. “I am gratified by the public support we’ve been experiencing lately,” Massie said. “We still have some problems, but we’re getting there faster because the community is helping.” Two members of the community, Peggy and Arthur Smith, of the Sperryville Antique Market, sent a check for $200 they raised for baseball equipment for the high school team. The board also adopted plans for a new sound system in the elementary school that was prepared and will be installed by community members. IRS offers new toll-free help The Internal Revenue Service is offering a new service to Virginians who need federal tax forms and publications. A new toll-free number has been established: 1-800-424-3676. The number is in service Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Richmond residents may call a local number, 309-1052, during the same hours. The forms-only number is part of a new centralized inventory and distribution system (CIDS) designed to service forms requests in a more efficient, effective, and economical manner. The Richmond Distribution Center, servicing the states from Maine to Virginia, is the first of three CIDS in the country. When it becomes fully operational, it will process forms requests for the entire Eastern Seaboard and will service approximately 40 percent of the taxpaying population. Eventually, it will employ approximately 100 people full-time, and up to 300 people during peak processing times. Orders from Virginians on the new toll-free number will be processed within 24 hours from receipt. Callers who need tax information should continue to call 1-800-4241040.

Healing Series Part 1 “Take Healing to the World.” . We as Christians nave been apprehensive 9 about sharing God's healing power with non-be- ft lievers or non-Christians who are sick and in need ft _ of healing. We are atratd and unsure, we don't ft 2 really know how to share God's medicine with ft these needy people. We do know according to C 2 God’s Holy Word that Jesus not only bore our ft 0 sins but he also bore our sickness and disease, 9 <f read Isaiah 53:4 & 5 and 1 Peter 2:24. We want to £ ft share this week some truth about God's healing ft power that can and will set you free if you will al- ft low it to, if you are bom again this will greatly help ft you as you share the love ol Jesus with others - y not only can you lead someone to salvation but 0 you can also teach them about God’s healing power if they have a need to be made whole ft physically The word salvation actually means: 9 9 save, rescue, deliver and heal. Romans 1:16 ft ft says For I am not ashamed of the Gospel ot 9 ft Christ, For it is the power of God unto salvation.'' ft ft To be bom again is the most important thing we J ^ are to share with the world and we are not to be y y ashamed of it - but remember we are sharing this 0 0 week concerning healing and also that the word 9 9 salvation in Romans 1:16 in the Greek translation ft ft (which is the actual translation ot the New Testa ft 9 men!) actually means what we started earlier in ft ft the article: save, rescue, deliverance, sound- ” ft ness and hsallng - soundness of spirit, sound ft ness of the mind, soundness ot the body (read 3 John 2). The word salvation is for the three part man- it is to cover all three areas if a person is in £ £ bondage mentally they can be delivered if they 9 are sick they can be helaed and if they are spiritu ft ally dead they can be changed from that through » God's Word. Now we want to look at scripture concerning how to share God's healing power - in Matthew 28:19. Jesus said go and teach all nations and in Mark 16.15 Jesus said go and preach: teach and preach what? The good news of salvation! Remember what the word salvation means?
