Vl~';T*'IA LT33ART U . - i / f b > 4 • J ** L / FAITH MOUNTAIN HERBS St antiques Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner DOWNTOWN SPERRYVILLE was a stroller’s paradise last Saturday and Sunday. Booths and craft shops lined both sides of :he streets, and visitors were plentiful in all of them. Springfest gets high praise By LOU HATTER and GREG TURNER ^ Rappahannock Newt* Staff Writers • “Everyone seemed to enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the country,” Cheri Woodard said of the mood at the Sperryville Springfest last weekend. The weather was “perfect” for the estimated 4,500 to 5,000 people who attended the first of what will certainly be an annual event for Sperryville, "The Gateway to the Park.” That upbeat slogan on the Sperryville Business Council’s new brochure echoes the resurgence of spirit which seemed to mark all the festivities last Saturday and Sunday. “The success of the festival goes to show what the businesses can do when they work together . . . (they) worked together this weekend, and it benefitted all of us,” observed James D. Swindler III, whose family operates the Country Manor Gift Shop on Route 211 west of Sperryville. Mr. Swindler added that Country Manor had done a direct mailing of 5,000 of the new SBC promotional brochures about two weeks ago. “I was pleased to see the number of people who came into the store with the brochures in their hands.” Mr. Swindler added that he saw the same people in other stores, “so apparently they were working their way down the road, stopping in all the stores.” Arthur Smith, who along with his wife Peggy owns the SperryviUe Indoor Antique Market, said he saw the same flow as Mr. Swindler. “It was really a big success . . . everyone had a jolly old time. I’m sure we’ll have it (a spring festival) from now on.” Mr. Smith said that the Antique Market had about 25 dealers for the weekend and that all of them did well for the two days. Mrs. Woodard, president of the SBC, echoed Mr. Smith’s assessment: “We had good crafts, interesting exhibits, most of the crafters reported sales were good and they all went home happy." She added that artist Tom Spande, who at 14 was the youngest exhibitor at the festival, sold nine of ‘Boom’ Rappahannock merchants see hopeful trends By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Furries of commercial activity in rural Rappahannock County are not consistent enough to predict a ‘boom” economy ahead, but the signs are interesting enough to catch :he attention of local business people. “It’s the overall investor psychology, ” said Roger Batchelder, a county Realtor. “There’s quite a bit of activity, with interest down and the stock market up. And inflation is under control. People seem to have more money this year than they had last year. ” With a month left until the end of the fiscal year, recorded real estate transactions are running almost parallel to last year’s figures, with Jackson District in the eastern part of the county showing the most rapid growth for both years. The pattern of real estate purchases, however, show's very heavy growth beginning recently, in the spring of 1986, although the way the records are kept prevents charting very recent purchases accurately. “There’s a lot of buzzing out there. A lot of people are looking,” said Flint Hill Realtor Peggy Clark. She believes the transactions don’t reflect the number of interested buyers for several reasons. “First there’s not the amount of property for sale here that there is in some.places,” she said. “Second, we’re not having the development here that you see in some rural counties.” Ms. Clark sees tourism increasing in the county and she observes that daily at the Flint Hill restaurant she owns, The Corner Post. “People seem to have more money this year than they had last year.” “We’re seeing so many new faces,” she said. “These are good times for the restaurant business. “What all our rural businesses need is a combination of our loyal local patrons and tourists. And we’ve had both, this year, even all through the winter months.” Another telling economic indicator for rural people, who are simply not inclined to buy and sell property as often as their urban counterparts, is the number of building permits issues for new construction, additions and repairs. This month 31 permits haye been given out by the county as opposed to 17 issued last year (May 1985) at this time. Hopeful indicators, however modest, also appear in the use of utilities by county residents and visitors. The county portion of the total utility tax, which increases or decreases according to actual usage, increased from $153,021 as of May ^0, 1985, to $169,556 as of May 23 this year. Sales tax, of course, also varies according to the quantity of goods sold in the county. The county portion (1 percent) of sales grew from $87,070 last year to $89,816 this year, an increase of almost $3,000. Although this figure seems small in terms of its addition to county coffers, its significance is in the larger amount it represents — an increase of almost $300,000 in taxable goods sold in small county businesses. Because Rappahannock has not experienced overall population gains, figures seem to indicate that either people in the county have more money to spend or that people from outside county are spending more dollars here. The Virginia Division of Tourism believes that the entire state has been quietly experiencing a dramatic increase in tourism that will continue through this summer. Last week, representatives from this state agency met with some Rappahannock merchants. “What they told us (in meeting) really surprised me,” said Jim Swindler, whose family owns and operates Country Manor in Sperryville. “It seems that Virginia leads the eastern part of this country in the growth of tourist dollars spent here,” said Mr. Swindler. “In fact, we’re second only to Florida in our number of tourists. Of course, they’re referring to the beaches, cities and Williamsburg as well as to the mountain resorts.” Mr. Swindler said that while the growth of tourism is encouraging for the state as a whole, local developments are encouraging for this area in particular. “The establishment of Dulles as more of a center for international travel, as well as the hub for TWA, Continued on page 10 the 12 paintings which he brought with him. “I had.crafters who came up to me and expressed interest in becoming part of the show next year . . . and everyone who participated wants to come back next year. ” The comments of one visitor summed up the success of the weekend for her, Mrs. Woodard said. “She came up to me and said, ‘We only used to come to Sperryville in the fall for the leaves and the cider — now I know that it’s beautiful in the spring as well’.” “We achieved our goal (of promoting Sperryville). . . it’s remarkable to me as well that three new stores opened this weekend, with f ontinued on page 18 Planners split on dog pound By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer Scrabble landowners railed about trash and dogs and attorneys accused the Planning Commission of inconsistency and illegality and castigated the Board of Supervisors for poor business judgment at a public hearing last Wednesday on zoning amendments related to a county animal shelter. After three hours, the upshot was: • A split vote by the Planning Commission on a recommendation to allow animal shelters by special use permit in an agricultural district. • A recommended denial on a zoning amendment to decrease rear set - back distance from 75 to 50 feet. • A majority finding that permitting animal shelters in an agricultural zone substantially complies with provisions of the county’s comprehensive plan. The county faces a legal challenge from the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies over its failure to provide an animal shelter that meets state standards. A hearing on the suit — filed in 1984 and held in abeyance to give the county an opportunity for voluntary compliance — is set for July 11. At last Wednesday’s joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission, Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey reviewed shelter standards. The pound must have a well to provide potable drinking water, a septic system for. solid waste disposal, a heated building with temperature maintained at a minimum of 50 degrees in winter, fans to cool the interior in summer, pens to ensure the separation of dogs according to species, sex, age and temperament, outdoor concrete runs enclosed by a chain link fence, floor pallets so animals will not have to sleep on concrete and small cages for cats. “The law says we shall provide these things,” the chairman pointed out. He added that the requirements seem extreme. “Some of the people around here don’t have it quite that good.” The county has a modular shelter, a 16 foot square structure with a separate feed room, built by students at Piedmont Vocational Technical Center for $2,000, the cost of the materials. The building must be moved by the end of the school year; the question is where. Earlier, the supervisors proposed to locate the shelter on county-owned property at Scrabble, formerly the site of a segregated school and now used as a home for several dumpsters. Approximately $4,000 was spent on improvements to the lot before the supervisors backed off in the face of opposition from neighbors and the threat of legal action if a pound was placed there. Those neighboring landowners had more questions on Wednesday. In response, Mr. Gilkey reported that he’d checked with surrounding counties and found none willing to accept Rappahannock’s dogs. Hours Continued on page 4 Board seeks more time ' for shelter compliance By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer At the close of last Wednesday’s public hearing on the animal shelter, Supervisor Nelson Lane huddled with local Humane Society members on the benches at the rear of the courtroom. “He asked us to withdraw our suit,” reported RCHS officer Patricia Saltonstall. “He wanted us to delay so the shelter and the landfill can be on the same site, with the same person taking care of both the shelter and the landfill.” She noted, however, that the Rappahannpck chapter did not instigate the suit against the county; rather it was brought by the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. “We have no authority, no power over them to have this suit Continued on page 4 Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE TRADITION and spirit of that first Memorial Day was remembered and continued in a service conducted by the Reverend Jenks Hobson at the Episcopal Cemetery in Woodville on Monday. “/ am oppressed with a sense of the impropriety of uttering words on this occasion. If silence is ever golden, it must be here beside the graves of fifteen thousand men whose lives were more significant than speech and whose death was a poem the music of which can never be sung. With words we make promises, plight faith, praise virtue. Promises may not be kept; plighted faith may be broken; and vaunted virtue may be only the cunning mask of vice. We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke; but we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtue of men and citizens. For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism." Maj. Gen. James A. Garfield Arlington National Cemetery May 30, 1868

USD A seeks input on grain programs The U. S. Department of Agriculture is seeking comments on common program provisions of the 1987 wheat and feed grains programs. Milton Hertz, acting administrator of USDA’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said many program provisions are common to all of these commodity programs and whatever decision is made on one commodity will likely apply to other program crops. He said USDA will consider the comments received before making final decisions on these program provisions. Hertz said USDA wants comments on the following: — Whether the program enrollment period should apply to all program crops or whether individual program enrollment periods should be established with varying sign-up dates based on geographical location. — Whether the production of approved nonprogram crops should be allowed on underplanted program crop permitted acreage. This provision is known at “50/92.” Also, whether haying and grazing should be permitted on conservation use acreage designated under the 50/92 provision. — Whether to permit the production of alternative crops on reduced acreage (known as ACR, for Acreage Conservation Reserve). — Whether to require offsetting and cross compliance. USDA proposes that limited cross compliance requirements be in effect for the 1987 commodity programs. — Whether advance payments should be offered. — Whether an advance recourse commodity loan program should be implemented. — Whether a multiyear set-aside program should be implemented. — Whether producers should be permitted to increase a crop acreage base by up to 10 percent of the farm acreage base if a corresponding de County emergency log Fire and rescue The following calls were routed through the dispatch center in the past week: May 22: 11:23 a.m., heart problems, Town of Washington, Washington Fire Department and Sperryville Rescue Squad; 2 p.m., stomach pains, Rt. 622, Gid Brown Hollow, Sperryville Rescue Squad.

Rappahannock News photcVGreg Turner SCULPTOR-IN-RESIDENCE Rebecca Howland (standing) worked on clay projects with participants in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center Senior Nutrition program. Getting a lesson in sculpting afe (left to right) Robert Butler, Becky Jollia, Lucy Hodgeson and Doris Jennings. Rebecca Howland: artist with a message by DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rebecca Howland’s Toxicological Table holds the spotlight at the Middle Street Gallery Artists’ Cooperative. Square in the center of the room, the table draws the attention of gallery visitors. They’re seduced by the bright colors and clean lines of her ceramic plates, cups, bowls and vase. The warm shine of the surfaces invites picking up and begs to be held. But a close look and the visitor knows this is art with a message— and it’s a grim message. An ashtray in the shape of a lung is deformed with a growth that screams “cancer!” Black and white striped cups in the shape of storage barrels are smeared inside with poisonous looking blotches of color. Short poems are scrawled on the bowls: Coal Diamonds Ashes Dust Pick the Bones and Then Go Bust Dioxin kills They dump it and it always spills U.S. citizens buy whole towns After Industry ruins them “It’s about the inter-relations between strip mining, burning coal to generate electricity and the resulting pollution of water and air,” said the New York artist who is on a month’s residency program in the .* county under a grant awarded to the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community by the Mid-Atlantic States’ Arts Consortium. “It’s about how we’re all being poisoned in our day-to-day life,” she said. “And it usually happens because of. . .” she added, tapping the big dollar sign on the centerpiece vase with her forefinger. “It’s been determined by economic factors, not human factors.” , She found the inspiration for the Toxicological Table in a trip she took 10 years ago through the coal mining country of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. “It was pretty dismal. It really had an effect on me, although it didn’t become apparent for years.” The anger she felt at this rape of the environment combined with her love of the landscape and love of nature to generate the message in her table' work. For the past five years, Ms. Howland has been carrying her message art to workshops she conducts on college campuses. She’s made eight Toxicological Tables; one purchased by the Museum of Modem Art in Stockholm, Sweden, and others exhibited by galleries in New York City, upstate New York, Cologne, West Germany, and now the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va. “In my workshops, I stress two things,” the artist said. “Art should be about the world — the world of its own time — now — 1986. And it should be about something that the artist cares about deeply.” She struck those dual themes in a mini-workshop she conducted for the senior citizens at Rappahannock’s nutrition site. As she passed out hunks of clay donated by local potter Jeanne Drevas, Ms. Howland asked the elderly men and women to think about things that created strong emotions, things that they either loved or hated. “One woman made two burning candles. Another a really beautiful cross, very complicated. A Holy Jerusalem cross. Another woman made her husband, sitting in a really comfortable chair,, watching television. Someone else made a dog that had bitten him,” Ms. Howland said, adding that the seniors’ work will be exhibited at Sperryville’s Springfest this weekend. It was her first workshop for the elderly. Like all beginning artists, they had inhibitions, insisting “Oh, I can’t do this! I can’t make a face,” Ms. Howland recalled. “But old people know a lot more than we do. They have so much more experience to draw on. I had to pull that experience out.” Also as part of the RAAC-sponsored residency program, she’s working with kids in Don Bomberg er’s art classes at the county high school. “They need much more guidance than college students,” she noted, shaking her head and grinning. “And it’s been a little frustrating, but only because the period is so short. I’m used to working with students for three to six hours at a time and we really only have 30 minutes.” “I initiated the class the same way I did with the senior citizens. I asked them: ‘What are you thinking? What’s on your mind? What is it about the world that you love? What do you hate?’ ” The kids worked in groups, each taking a part to mold in clay with the pieces to be assembled next week. “With clay, you have to be patient. Things have to dry. You have to learn to wait,” Ms. Howland noted. The works by the high school students will be exhibited later. “They had the basic skills,” Ms. Howland noted, complimenting the RCHS art program. “Don has given them solid technical training. But with me, they’re building bigger pieces than they’ve ever done before. Plus they’re thinking about things, which makes me very happy.” The month-long residency program that brought Ms. Howland from New York City to rural Virginia has three parts. In addition to teaching and working on her own art, she’s been meeting local artists. She’s spent hours at the forge of Nol Putnam and Claudia McCue in The Plains. “I’ve been learning new ways of working in metal, It’s really interesting— fascinating!” Ms. Howland said. She’s also traded skills with multi-faceted Jeanne Drevas, Rappahannock potter, basket weaver, stone mason, carpenter, modem dancer and worker in metal and stained glass. She sat in on a meeting of the Middle Street Gallery Artists’ Cooperative. She’s impressed by the community of artists here. “I moved to New York because I wanted to interact with my peers. It’s one of the most important parts of being an artist. I never expected to find that here. It takes a lot of work,” she noted of Middle Street’s cooperative. “But ultimately, it’s worth it. Artists need peer support.” She’s encountered only one difficulty during her residency. “I’ve been staying with Bill and Mitzie Young and that’s been so very comfortable. This program has been Laurie Marshall’s inspiration. She’s the coordinator, the one who has made things happen. Everything has gone smoothly. But the distances you all drive! People here drive 75 to 100 miles a day!” noted the amazed New Yorker, accustomed to that city’s mass transit system and shops within walking distance. “I never imagined that. It took me two weeks to find everything and get used to driving so far.” Next week, Ms. Marshall will chair a meeting at the gallery for local artists and others involved with the RAAC-sponsoreb program to assess the residency and discuss issues of contemporary an with Ms. Howland. The visiting artist hopes the consensus will be to seek a grant for a return trip, possibly for two months the next time. “It’s so beautiful here! It’s going to be very hard to leave,” she admitted.

The county will pay Community Trash $5,281.43 per month to provide and maintain dumpsters with capacity of at least 256 cubic yards and to dispose of the solid waste deposited in the green boxes. The option year cost is up slightly from the $5,127.60 currently paid per month. Under permits from the county and the State Health Department, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Updike Jr. of Community Trash and Woodville landowner Clifton Clark operate a private landfill on Rudacill Mill Road. Following an inspection in April, Robert Forman of the Health Department’s Division of Hazardous and Solid Waste Management ordered a closure plan submitted, judging that the landfdl will reach capacity by the end of June. That would leave the Updikes without a disposal site in the county for Rappahannock’s trash. “I don’t know if they’re going to r be able to rumll the contract, said Supervisor Charles Estes. “If we don’t sign it, we might be in a little deeper than we should be,” warned Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “The contract reads that we can extend it for a year and that (the trash) is their responsibility once it’s in the containers,” Supervisor Newbill Miller pointed out, adding that the Commonwealth’s Attorney concurred with this interpretation. “We have the option to renew the contract for a year and they (Community Trash) are bound to take it.” “If the state does close the Woodville site, I wouldn’t want to bring suit (to force Community Trash Removal to meet its contractual obligations and take responsibility for the county’s refuse),” countered Supervisor Estes. “We don’t w'ant to close any options,” Supervisor Miller cautioned. “What can we do to put pressure on the Health Department to let us keep (the landfill) open?” asked Supervisor J.R. Latham. “Maybe we could ask for another inspection,” suggested Supervisor Miller, noting that removal of dumpsters at Slate Mills and Chester Gap should have reduced the flow of trash to the dump and lengthened its ute expectancy. “I want to sign the contract (for the option year) tonight, but I don’t want to take the Updikes to court to make them provide trash service to Rappahannock County,” added Chairman Gilkey. Private citizens and businesses dispose of refuse in landfills outside the county; Community Trash could do the same, Supervisor Miller noted. “We want them to make a bonafide attempt to fulfill the contract. If they don’t think we’re going to do anything, they won’t try very hard,” he said. “You know that if you’re under duress, you find ways of doing things that you wouldn’t even think of if you weren't under duress. ” Mr. Miller’s fellow supervisors agreed: The vote was unanimous to exercise the county’s option for extending the trash contract with the Updikes for another year. “Any new developments from the people we’ve contacted for a landfill?” asked Supervisor Estes, apparently referring to a new site for the county’s solid waste disposal. “No. They were supposed to get back with us by the first of this week,” answered Mr. Gilkey. “But I haven’t heard from them yet.” — Daphne Hutchinson Supervisors plan to adopt revised zoning laws in July At Monday’s special board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors announced that they intend to adopt the long delayed revision of the county’s zoning laws in July. “I think we should get to work on the new zoning ordinance so we can get it passed,” said Supervisor J.R. Latham. “You know I’m ready, Mr. Latham!” responded Supervisor J. Newbill Miller, who as a Planning Commissioner, spent the past two years reviewing and revising the current zoning regulations. “I think it should be as soon as possible, once our new man comes on board,” agreed Chairman Hubert Gilkey, referring to John McCarthy, the zoning administrator and administrative assistant to the board who was hired last week. (Mr. McCarthy will assume the post on June 16.) “I’d like to have a work session in June with Mr. McCarthy,” Supervisor Miller added. “And adopt the new ordinance in July,” Chairman Gilkey concluded. In a second zoning matter discussed at Monday’s special meeting, the four board members informally agreed on changes to setback regulations. At last week’s joint public hearing, the county Planning Commissioners voted to recommend denial of a zoning amendment to reduce rear setback distance in agricultural districts from 75 to 50 feet. “I think the Planning Commission made the right decision,” said Mr. Miller, who had abstained from the vote. He explained that, after further consideration, he likewise opposed an across the board reduction in setback distance for structures from the rear property line for all lots. “But this is not just a one-time thing,” he said. “We have many small lots in agricultural districts — two acre lots, one acre lots, maybe even some half acre lots — that have to meet the same setback requirements as 100 acre lots.” For these small lots, he suggested requiring the same yard and setback standards as for rural residential zones, where lot size is five acres. “I think that would be good to put in (to the new ordinance),” Chairman Gilkey responded, meeting agreement from his fellow board members. Before recessing the 1 1/2 hour special meeting, the supervisors discussed options on providing office space for the new zoning administrator and the assessor who will begin work on re-evaluation of county property this year; no decision was reached. — Daphne Hutchinson ,ONI < JJ ,* DEPcnoon w POR SUPER BUDGET BUVS Prices Effective Thro Be ay 31, 1980 Quantity Rights Reserved t-" Rainbow Bathroom Tissue* Pk 69 c Rainbow Towels single roll 2/85 ^ 99* Check Out Our Thick Cut Bar-B-Q Section Banquet 32 oz Fried Chicken box Gwaltney Luncheon Meats • Spiced Luncheon • P&P Loaf C 1 ‘Salami 8 oz Hillshire Reg. or Beef Sausage lb Jimmy Dean All Varieties Sausage ,b lb SJ99 $179 $1 69 Gwaltney Sliced Bacon Charcoal 10 lb ${89 IGA Lighter Fluid 32 oz $ 129 Wisk Laundry ^ Detergent Label '/2 gal $ O 9 9 _ _ HteSM Van De Camp Mayonnaise gg Beans $lf9 ° 2/85c _ y Golden Ripe Bananas 3 * 99c FROZEN SPECIALS Sealtest Ice Cream Morton s Pot Pie ao Citrus Hill Orange Juice IGA Whipped Topping IGA Pie Shells 3/s loo 99* 12 OZ 12 oz 99 10 oz 75 12 Oz Cans | Miller Lite 6P* $2« I Budweiser & )2 Pi< Bad Light u oz cans $519 Nabi co . „ low ball la„zM" Ritz ,2 ,.z sl59 DAIRY SPECIALS ^ IGA Oreo Margarines u ^ 119 Natural May-Bud Farmer’s Cheese. 5 J 49 Sunny Delight Citrus Punch g.i $ 119 Large Select Cucumber or HoV* C.Y^ce Medium Pepper 6/^1 Flowers • Potted Plants • Arrangements • Roses Your locally owned & operated C&B Hoars — Mon/Thurs/Sat 8-8 Friday 8-9 Sunday 8-6 220 Commerce Ave. Front Royal, Va.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. vTHURSDAY, MAY 29,1986 Letters to the editor Rescue squads defended To the editor: My letter is in response to Ms. Racer’s letter questioning the conduct to emergency medical personnel on an accident scene on the morning of April 6,1986. For starters, emergency medical personnel do not need the the permission of a state trooper or any law enforcement officer to extricate an accident victim from a vehicle. Accident scenes are a very emotional and difficult situation for all persons involved. There are certain techniques involved in removing a person from a wrecked vehicle in order to prevent further injury or futher complicate already present injuries. As for the time frames being presented by Ms. Racer, accounts given to me of the accident scene and extrication time are not as long as she indicates. We all must remember that in times of crisis five minutes seems like two hours. Being an emergency room nurse and having worked closely with the emergency medical personnel of this and surrounding counties, I find these volunteers dedicated and well trained personnel, people just like you and me who volunteer their time and energies to help protect our lives. Rather than criticizing actions which she indicates she has “heard quite a few things about,” maybe Ms. Racer should spend her time and energies investigating the hours these volunteers spent in classroom training, hospital clinical time and time out of their non-working hours doing our community such a very important public service. As for me, if I’m ever in an auto accident I hope I have to benefit of as well a trained group of people, who will use their heads and remove me from a tangled mess of steel and plastic in the safest manner they know how. DEBBIE DENNIS Huntly ‘Take care of your park7 To the editor: In this county we are blessed with a very fine park area. It has tennis courts, basketball and other such facilities, a children’s play area (tot lot), as well as good walking paths and picnic tables by the river in beautiful surroundings. The park, however, has bottles and trash strewn around everywhere in spite of garbage containers liberally supplied. We have seen at least four broken bottles lying not 20 feet from these garbage receptacles. Perhaps the county would consider erecting some “Take Care of Your Park” type notices around, and the public park users might begin taking more care. H. JOHN TENNENT & EDITH M. TENNENT Washington Extension Continued from page 1 dropped,” Ms. Saltonstall said. The Virginia Federation of Humane Societies has taken similar action in other counties to force compliance with state regulations on shelters. According to VFHS president Walt Lane, the General Assembly ordered localities to provide animal shelters in 1977 and the standards now in effect were promulgated in 1977. Then in 1981, the state advised localities to begin appropriating funds to upgrade existing shelters or build new ones to comply with those standards, Mr. Lane reported. “When we started five years ago, 95 percent of Virginia’s counties and cities weren’t in compliance. Now they are all in compliance or building a shelter that complies — except for Dickenson and Rappahannock,” Mr. Lane noted. “We haven’t lost any of the 20 to 25 we’ve taken to court. . .We’re not going to lose on July 11 in Rappahannock, either,” he continued. As an example, he noted that last week, a judge in New Kent County ordered the supervisors there to proceed “with all due haste without deliberation” in building a shelter and called for a progress report on construction to be submitted by Aug. 1. According to Mr. Lane, many of the suits lodged by the federation are never heard. Before the court date, the locality provides a shelter which complies with state standards. But when a writ of mandamus petition comes before the bench, “the judge normally issues the writ and gives the locality 90 days to comply,” Mr. Lane said. Asked if the federation would accede to Rappahannock’s latest request for more delay in the suit lodged here in 1984, Mr. Lane replied, “I don’t know. That’s up to our attorney... I know he won’t do anything until he gets official correspondence from Rappahannock’s CA (commonwealth’s attorney). “But frankly, judging from the past, I doubt if he’s going to take that.” Mr. Lane called on the people of Rappahannock County to “come out of the 1800s.” The county has been too complacent, according to the president of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. “Rappahannock County has ignored the law long enough.” Letters The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Rappahannock Heritage WATERFALL AT WHITE OAK CANYON in Shenandoah National Park Shelter Continued from page 1 for a Rappahannock shelter have not yet been established, he said, noting that the law states only that the pound must be open “reasonable hours” during the week with the information publicly posted. Attorney David Konick, former county zoning administrator who represents Scrabble landowners Clyde and Evelyn Dellinger, interjected that the Virginia code doesn’t provide for a joint public hearing by the planning commissioners and supervisors on a proposed land use’s compliance with the comprehensive plan. Diane Bruce, clerk to the Circuit Court and Board of Supervisors, questioned whether the code prohibited such a joint hearing. “I don’t know,” snapped Mr. Konick. “I‘m not accustomed to debating legal issues with clerks of the court.” Chairman Gilkey ruled that the meeting would proceed as advertised with joint hearings on the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance and the issue of compliance with the comprehensive plan conducted separately. Addressing the proposal to allow non-commercial kennels and animal shelters by right in an agricultural district, Mr. Konick maintained that they should be allowed only by special permit. “Clearly this is the kind of use that ought to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals” for consideration of the neighborhood’s character and the impact on property values, he maintained. “There are some places in the county zoned agricultural where (a shelter) would be perfectly compatible. There are other places where it would not be compatible.” According to Mr. Konick, the Planning Commission has gone on record on four occasions with recommendations to the supervisors regarding an animal shelter. In each case, he said, the Planning Commission has recommended that shelters be permitted by special exception or special use permit — never by right. “I don’t know of any rational basis for the Planning Commission to make any different recommendation than it’s made in the past,” Mr. Konick added. “Is there then some rationale to explain why the commissioners have changed their position from the one they’ve taken before?” asked Jerry Lewis, another Scrabble landowner. “You’re under the gun, aren’t you?” Planning Commission Chairman A.Y. Stokes asked the supervisors. “I don’t know' that the planning commissioners have changed their minds,” countered Mr. Gilkey. New Supervisor J. Newbill Miller, long-time member of the Planning Commission, recalled that past discussions focused on commercial kennels. “We didn’t give much thought to a county kennel, a public kennel, Rappahannock County’s animal shelter,” he explained. “We’re under pressure from the courts,” Supervisor Miller said, adding that the board’s legal advisor had managed to have the Humane Society’s shelter suit deferred repeatedly but no more. “Personally, I‘d like to wait and put the animal shelter where we’re going to put the new landfill. But our attorney tells us he doesn’t think the court is going to give us that leeway,” said Mr. Miller. “My thought and hope is that Scrabble would be a temporary site (for the shelter) until we get our landfill. ” After hearing that the current zoning ordinance neither provides for a public shelter in any zoning district nor allows for an exception, Mr. Lewis still insisted that the supervisors would be “cutting their noses off to spite their face” if they changed the zoning laws for the entire county just to put a shelter at Scrabble. Commissioner Werner Krebser noted that the county has already spent $4,000 on site improvements at Scrabble at a time of increasingly tight budgetary constraints. “What has that got to do with a land use planning decision?” asked Mr. Lewis. “There was no public hearing before the supervisors spent that $4,000 of my money,” added Robert Poole. “Now you’re using that as an argument to go ahead!” “The $4,000 is not the issue that’s weighing on me,” Mr. Miller assured the Scrabble landowners. Mr. Gilkey noted that an alternative site has been considered. “But we’d have to put in a well, septic and electricity . . . The county already owns the Scrabble property. It has a well on it. It has septic.” And the alternative site is just as close to residences as the Scrabble property, maybe even closer, interjected Supervisor J.R. Latham. A.F. Cannon countered that the county also owns a better shelter location in the eight or nine acres it has in Amissville. “That’s an old dump site. It has no water, no electricity,” Mr. Gilkey replied. “There’s no electricity at Scrabble either,” argued Mr. Cannon. “Just a line running in front. And the septic tank’s done been busted in . . . You won’t take care of a dog pound any better than a landfill,” he insisted, adding that trash from the Scrabble dumpster blows onto his farm. The supervisors will neither erect a fence nor inspect the litter spread, Mr. Cannon charged. “I think you all are doing me a dirty deal down there!” To another barrage of questions, dog warden Jack Bruce reported that he’d collected 22-24 dogs in April but only seven so far in May. “You just don’t know. There could be thre or four tomorrow ... I don’t know any more than you do (on how many strays to expect). I get the calls and I go.” Mr. Bruce noted that he keeps dogs for five days after pick-up. “Then I put them in the gas tank.” Recalling a special informational meeting held last December, Patricia Saltonstall, officer with the Rappahannock County Humane Society, noted that Humane Society members had played “devil’s advocate” without eliciting “negative feedback” from neighbors of animal shelters in Madison, Culpeper and Fauquier counties. “The fears about this are more than they need be.” Mr. Konick asked for a show of hands on the issue of allowing noncommercial animal kennels and shelters by right in an agricultural district. Two went up in favor and 15 against. As to the issue of allowing only non-commercial kennels by right, Mr. Konick said: “If you have a kennel with 10 or 15 dogs, what difference does it make if it’s operated as a private or commercial or government kennel, as far as the ef- ■ feet on adjoining landowners? It seems to me that the dogs bark just the same.” “I realize we need a dog kennel,” said Charles Jackson. “But out of all the' schools we once had that the county has given up, all are in use — people are either living in them or using them for business. The onliest thing I hate about (what is proposed for) the Scrabble School is that it must go to the dogs!” he said, adding that his children were educated there. “The building itself is not going to be any part of the dog pound,” explained Chairman Gilkey. “The shelter will just be located on the grounds there.” Commissioner Krebser suggested assuring citizens that the shelter would be at Scrabble only temporarily and would be moved to the landfill “when We get one.” “I’d be willing to say that’s my intention,” Mr. Miller agreed, stressing, however, that there could be no guarantee. “Judging from our last landfill hearing, it could be 20 years before we get a new one,” interjected Commissioner David Fannon. “My personal opinion is that we’re not going to get a landfill,” he said, predicting that the county will find another locality to take its trash. But his fellow commissioners disgreed. “We’ll have to get a landfill within six months,” said Mr. Krebser. “There will be a suit — like with the shelter,” added James Swindler, seconding the suggestion to put the pound at the new dump. Supervisor Lane, whose district includes both Scrabble and the existing landfill, voiced opposition to allowing a shelter by right. When a change in land use is proposed, citizens are entitled to a public hearing, he said. “Landowners large and small expect this as their matter of right.” Commissioner Fannon said a shelter should be allowed by special permit to give the BZA the opportunity to place restrictions if deemed necessary. Asked if the possibility of using a commercial kennel to house Rappahannock’s dogs had been explored, Chairman Gilkey said that boarding dogs the required five days would prove too expensive. “We’re in a box and we’re awfully hard pressed,” said Commissioner Krebser, looking over the criteria that must be satisfied for issuance of a special use permit. “These are very stringent hurdles.” “I think we have other options besides agricultural land,” countered Commissioner Fannon, noting that commercial kennels are permitted by right in a business district. The vote spit 3-3 with Commissioners Stokes, Krebser and Miller against allowing non-commercial kennels and animal shelters by special use permit in an agricultural district and Commissioners Swindler, Fannon and David Thornhill in favor. Mr. Krebser’s motion to allow a government shelter by right in an agricultural district “provided the shelter be relocated if the landfill becomes a reality” died for lack of second. “I agree with everything you’ve said. I just don’t think you can make it fit,” said Mr. Miller. “You can’t put that provision in the ordinance.” Commissioner Stokes asked if private kennels in the county had been canvassed to see if any were willing to house strays on a temporary basis. “I don’t know of any that will meet the state criteria,” Mr. Gilkey replied, acknowledging that no private kennel owners had been contacted. Moving on to the proposal for decreasing rear setback distance from 75 to 50 feet, the majority voted against the amendment, with Commissioners Miller and Stokes abstaining. “If w6’re talking about the dog kennel, we’re putting the cart before the horse. We’re worrying about the setback distance (at the Scrabble site) when we haven’t even decided it we’re going to allow kennels by special use permit or by right or whether they comply with the comprehensive plan,” stated Commissioner Fannon. Mr. Konick opened the last of Wednesday’s public hearings by arguing that the comprehensive plan calls for public facilities to be located in the vicinity of the county’s villages and not in low density areas. “Scrabble is a low density area — it is not a village,” he said, adding that a pound will generate traffic, create noise and cause a problem with “sanitary considerations.” The Planning Commission is on record as finding that an animal shelter in an agricultural district is not necessarily in conflict with the comprehensive plan, he said. The attorney noted, however, that law requires a finding that a proposed use is “substantially in accord” with the plan. The two are very different, he said. “If there’s any ambiguity, it should be interpreted in a very narrow way to protect the landowners,” Mr. Konick maintained. After quizzing Planning Commission secretary Cheryl Taylor on the notice of the joint public hearing given by the Board of Supervisors to the Planning Commission, Mr. Konick called the hearings “illegal and unlawful.” He asked for a copy of a site plan for the proposed animal shelter at Scrabble, saying he’d checked the file before the meeting and found none. “The supervisors simply faded to follow proper procedures to set this up,” he charged. “A site plan isn’t necessary for what we’re doing here tonight,” Commissioner Miller responded. The attorney disagreed. “How can the citizens have a clear understanding when the Planning Commission doesn’t? How can you say “a shelter at Scrabble” would be in substantial accord with the comprehensive plan? . . . There’s no site plan, no building plan. This stuff is supposed to be in the public file.” Mr. Konick refused the chairman’s offer to pass around the board’s site plan for the shelter at Scrabble. “That’s not sufficient ... It doesn’t give me much of an opportunity to prepare,” he insisted, his voice breaking. Attorney Bill Fletcher said that despite the board’s intention to use Scrabble only as a temporary shelter site, ‘it may well be a long temporary site. It may cover a couple of years. In fact, it may be permanent.” He criticized the board’s decision to “tie up” an investment oi $25,000 for site purchase and $4,000 for improvements at Scrabble when the only use is for a dog kennel. Mr. Fletcher noted that the septic system there is destroyed, the top oi the tank caved in by a bulldozer. In addition, he maintained, the county will have to pay another employee $12,000 for 40-48 hours per week required to keep the shelter open. “Operation of the building is going to be your biggest expense,” Mr. Fletcher told the supervisors, calling the money spent on the Scrabble site “a bad investment. ” He proposed checking with the 30-some private kennels in RappaContinued on page 18

But that doesn’t always solve the issue. Water does not disappear. It DOES GO somewhere! It is neither destroyed nor vanished. It turns up elsewhere. Problem issues are seldom solved by letting them go “over the dam.” They have a tendency to turn up somewhere else, and often more severe than when first met. I have a feeling that there are few REAL problems in life. What we call problems are only unmet opportunities begging for attention. But if left alone by “putting off facing them,” or (what’s worse) ignoring them, opportunities ultimately become problems. Water does go “over the dam,” but problems have a way of “damming up” inside of us, causing havoc with emotional health and wrecking meaningful relationships. Look to God and your religious institutions for real solutions for your problems. Why not begin solving them this week? Copyright 1986 Keister-Wiltiams Newspaper Services.

Support services offered handicapped Families with handicapped dependents in the Northern Shenandoah Valley area can now receive support from the non-profit Planned Lifetime Assistance Network (PLAN), which recently opened a regional office in Winchester. The office, located at 333 Weems Lane, No. 2, is managed by Debra Haas and is open from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday and from 7 to 9:30 Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Ms. Haas, a former economic service representative in West Virginia, will be available to provide assistance to families in the counties of Rappahannock, Clarke, Frederick, Warren, Page and Shenandoah, as well as cities located within these geographic regions. The PLAN program provides personal advocacy and surrogate support to mentally and physically disabled dependents after the death of parents. It can also provide this same assistance to elderly loved ones. During the lifetime of the parents, PLAN representatives provide personal counseling, direction and planning which ultimately result in providing for the disabled individual after the parents are no longer alive or able to do so themselves. In addition to developing this “Personal Care Plan,” the parents also learn how to identify and create a means of financial support to defray costs associated with the Personal Care Plan. In addition to the Northern Shenandoah Valley regional office, PLAN has offices in Northern Virginia (Falls Church) and Central Virginia (Charlottesville). The Northern Shenandoah Valley regional office is supported by a regional council consisting of parents of disabled dependents as well as health care professionals. Serving on the board are Griffin Davis, Susan Dawkins and Ray Radke, all of Winchester, Nancy Thompson of Berryville, Ronald Overstreet of Stevenson and Margaret McKinnon of Stephens City. Mr. Davis, Mr. Overstreet and Ms. McKinnon are parents of handicapped dependents, while Ms. Dawkins and Mr. Radke are health care professionals. In addition to assisting with the development of Personal Care Plans, the Northern Shenandoah Valley regional office can provide information concerning the development of wills and trusts to accommodate the plan. This information will be provided to parents, so that they in turn can review the material with their personal attorneys. Watch what children eat By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Afcnt An estimated 66 to 77 children under the age of 10 die by choking on food each year. That is more than one death per week. Food asphyxiation accounts for as many childhood deaths as poisioning, but it has received much less public attention. A recent Johns Hopkins University study conducted nationwide on children’s food-related choking fatalities (looking only at children under 10) found that more than 90 percent of the victims were under 5. The risk was highest in 1- and 2-year-olds and dropped substantially at age 3. Hot dogs choked children most often. Other foods high on the list were candy, peanuts and other nuts, grapes, cookies, meat, carrots, apples, popcorn and peanut butter. Most of these foods are popular with children and are likely to be part of an American youngster’s diet. The foods that children choke on are likely to be round, hard or of the type that easily slips down the throat. Foods that must be chewed should not be given to children until they have developed a complete set of teeth, around age 2. Round or cylindrical foods cause trouble because they fit so well into a child’s airway. Candy and carrots are examples of hard or tough foods that may be difficult to chew, so that large pieces are swallowed. Foods that are small, smooth or slick when wet may easily slip down the throat. Foods that are pliable or compressible, such as pieces of meat, hot dogs or grapes, may form a particularly tight plug in the throat. Peanut butter can block the airway because it is so thick and sticky. Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Next Deadline June 26 Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad!

V a Adding to the danger is the fact that most foods are adult size, but a child’s airway is small mid more susceptible to blockage. Besides causing choking, another danger is that the food can get deep into the bronchial tubes, which take air to the lungs, or even into the lungs themselves. This can occur when a food particle — for instance, a seed or peanut shell — is too small to completely plug the airway. Such inhaled objects can trigger pneumonia and other complications. It’s not always easy to recognize that a child has inhaled food. The initial coughing fit may suddenly cease and the victim will appear to have recovered. More serious symptoms may show up days or even weeks later. If food inhalation is suspected and the food particle is not coughed up, a physician should be contacted. Environment also plays a part in choking. Children around the age of one explore the world by putting things into their mouths. Foods and other objects (such as toys), because of their size, shape or makeup, can be unsafe and should be kept out of the reach of toddlers. Many choking incidents, including those involving older children, occur when the victim is eating or drinking while lying down, crying, laughing, talking, running or playing. Adult supervision during meads and snack time is important. By being alert to the potential choking hazard that many common foods pose to young children, parents can make mealtime and snack time safer for their youngsters. Boom Continued from page 1 will certainly affect us,” he said. “Exactly how, I don’t know.” Mr. Swindler added that state officials had met with local merchants to discuss the possibility of nearby counties cooperating in attracting tourism, with the help of the Virginia Division of Tourism. “They’re certain that we’re right at the start of a real boom,” he said. The National Park Service, which administers the Shenandoah National Park, agrees with the state’s predictions. “We’re expecting a record year, all right,” said Bill Pierce* assistant chief ranger for the park. “We’re already up almost 2 percent (in park visits) and we’ve been told to expect to be very busy.” Firm charges for free service Responding to numerous inquiries, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently that a firm operating in the Rappahannock area is soliciting people through direct mail to purchase a service which is provided at no charge by every Social Security office. The company obtains local birth records and then mails new parents an offer to get a Social Security number for their child for a $10 fee. This service can be obtained without charge at any Social Security office. In addition, the parent has to do everything for the company he or she would have to do if he or she contacted Social Security directly. For a parent to obtain a Social Security number for a child, the parent needs evidence of the child’s date of birth, citizenship, and identity. The parent will also need evidence of his or her own identity. Invitation to trail ride A group of Rappahannock horsemen interested in trail riding is planning a ride for Saturday, June 24. The group will leave at 9 a.m. from Bill Lyne’s house in Gid Brown Hollow and ride into the park, down Piney Branch Trail, across Pickeral Ridge, and back to Mr. Lyne’s house. The ride will take about three hours at an easy pace over clear trails. Drinks will be provided, but each rider should bring their own picnic lunch. The group, which includes Mr. Lyne, Billy Dodson, Dick Helmer, Martha Lou O’Bannon, Birgitt Thornhill and Betsy Murray, is hoping to schedule about six rides during the year. If interest warrants they would like to form an associa-* tion to promote trail riding in Rappahannock. Mrs. Murray said, “We would like to have an overnight ride as well as perhaps a moonlight ride later in the year.” Anyone who is interested in more information about the ride should contact Dick Helmer (987-8184 any time), Martha Lou O’Bannon (987-8270 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or Birgitt Thornhill (675-3619 8 to 4:30). Reservations should be made by June 14.

Taking A Healthy Interest hiYou. WARREN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL • 1985 ANNUAL REPORT Administrator's Report 1985 marked a WARRFN year of changes memorial ^ZorZl HOSPITAL Hospital. We introduced a new symbol and slogan to demonstrate our commitment to your good health. Our symbol is based on our beautiful location in the Shenandoah Valley and represents the spirit of caring we bring to the residents of FVont Royal and Warren County. Our concern for your good health shows in our state-of-theTakirg a Healthy Interest ln\bu. art therapeutic and diagnostic services... programs to meet a variety of health needs... and compassionate professionals who care for you in a personal way. And one of the most important ways to demonstrate our commitment to your good health is by helping hold down hospital costs. Outpatient surgery can save substantially over the cost of traditional care. Patients check into Warren Memorial in the morning, have surgery, recover, and return home - all in the same day. A large number of surgeries can be performed safely on an outpatient basis. And many insurance companies now cover 100 percent of the cost of sameday surgery. Other outpatient services, such as mammography, save patients money by reducing the need for expensive care later. One in eleven American women will develop breast cancer. Mammography is the most ' • effective means of detecting breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. This important technology at Warren Memorial is helping women protect themselves from this potential killer. Sharing services with other hospitals also reduces health care costs. Since 1984, Warren Memorial has shared a mobile CT scanner with three other hospitals. This state-of-the-art equipment can eliminate the need for exploratory surgery for many patients, saving them the cost of surgery and hospitalization and the time for recuperation. Sharing this service also saved Warren Memorial the 21 million cost of purchasing the equipment. We’re already working on new programs and services to meet the challenges of health care in 1986 and beyond. Working together, we’re taking a healthy interest in you. Doug Rosen Administrator 01986, Warren Memorial Hospital New Cardiopulmonary Lab Is Good News For Heart And Lung Patients In 1985, Warren Memorial opened the area’s only full-service, in-hospital cardiopulmonary laboratory outside of Winchester. Previously, patients with lung or . heart disorders were tested by an independent service which visited Warren Memorial only one day a week. Others had to travel out of town for testing. That meant an inconvenience for patients and delays for physicians in evaluating medical conditions. Now, patients are tested at Warren Memorial on an inpatient or outpatient basis. And the physician receives a report just 24 to . 48 hours after testing. For patients suffering from asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, or other lung disorders, Warren Memorial offers: A Special Delivery Forlbur Special Delivery Moms and dads-to-be are expecting a lot from Warren Memorial Hospital these days. Great Expectations guarantees I in advance most hospital costs for a normal delivery of a healthy baby. Couples who enroll in Great Expectations receive all the benefits of family-centered maternity care that Warren Memorial’s known for — prenatal classes... birthing rooms... rooming-in... sibling visitation... candlelight dinner for two... instructions on baby care... i gifts... and postpartum follow-up. I All at a guaranteed price for a 1 normal delivery Oil \bur Feet Times were when having knee surgery meant several days’ hospitalization and a lengthy, painful recuperation. Now, arthroscopy at Warren Memorial Hospital means surgeons can repair joint and cartilage problems through a small incision instead of a major operation. An instrument called an arthroscope is inserted into the knee and transfers the image to a t.v. monitor, allowing the physician to perform delicate surgery. Arthroscopy causes less trauma to the knee, and patients are able to resume their normal activities sooner than with traditional surgery. Home RxrThe Health Of It Recovering from an illness or accident is never easy, but Home Health Care from Warren Memorial can help. Home Health Care lets you recover from an illness or injury in the comfort and privacy of your home. Registered nurses, licensed therapists, and skilled home health aides provide comprehensive medical and personal care and teach you and your family how to cope with your illness or injury. Home Health Care is an important step in the continuity of quality care between the hospital and home. It may shorten your hospital stay or even eliminate the need for hospital care. • Comprehensive pulmonary function testing to determine how well lungs are functioning. • Arterial blood gas studies to analyze blood for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acid-base balance. • Earoximetry, a non-invasive alternative to measure the level of oxygen in blood. A highintensity ultraviolet light is directed through the earlobe for an accurate measure of oxygen saturation. • Sleep screening to monitor oxygen levels while patients sleep and check their breathing patterns. • Patient education classes to help patients understand and live with their breathing problems. For patients with heart disease or illness, Warren Memorial’s cardiopulmonary lab offers: • EKGs to measure the electrical activity of the heart and help physicians determine how well the heart is functioning. • Cardiac stress testing to evaluate the heart’s response to exercise. • Echocardiography using sound waves to record images of the heart and valves. A Doppler effect also allows technicians to hear - the blood flow inside the heart. • Holter monitoring to record a patient’s heartbeat for 24 hours. A computer reads the heartbeat to detect any abnormalities. • Pacemaker checks to determine the proper setting for a pacemaker. • EEGs to record brain activity and determine any abnormalities. • Vascular testing using sound waves to measure the blood flow through different blood vessels. The addition of this comprehensive cardiopulmonary lab means that Warren Memorial now can treat complex heart and respiratory conditions here at home.

IVNxah Rinchum fix The Rappahannock News THE SPRING CONCERT AT RCES featured a musical computer which provided the theme for the concert. Spring concert merges computers, history By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “Beep-beep-beep. I-am-a-compu-ter. I-will-tell-you-a-bout-commu-ni-ca-tion,” said a synthesized voice in the RCES musical concert directed by Judy Bomberger. “Thirteen years ago I started helping Mrs. Quaintance with the spring concert. When she left I carried on with a spring show. So this is my ninth year of doing them on my own,” Mrs. Bomberger explained. “I browse through music catalogs for musical shows. Sometimes I hear of what other schools have done so I get some ideas from that,” she added. Mrs. Bomberger summarized the plot of the Grapevine Connection. “It tells about communication. It has a group of students who write a report on communication. They don’t know how to go about it. The most intelligent kid of the, group takes them to his information station which is a computer. They ask the computer questions about the history of communication. There are songs and dances that go along with each section,” she explained. Dances included a soft shoe, an Egyptian dance, a Charleston, a blues number and a square dance. They were appropriately fitted into the script according to the period of history the computer was describing. “Mrs. Lilo Foster did a lot of t he choreography. Sometimes the kids interjected their ideas. Lilo has been a big help with all the dances." Mrs. Bomberger said. Fifth through seventh graders began rehearsing for the show in February. The core of the play was a school chorus which practiced once a week during the school year. The five main characters were played by Douglas Kilpatrick, Heidi Maeyer, Holly Moffett, Justin Ferrence and Christopher Sutton. Douglas was the computer boy. He led the group of students to the information station which helped them realize that finding information was not so hard after all. Academics were proven to be easy — you just have to know where to go to look. In the beginning the students thought he was a klutz but by the end they liked him because he helped them and they appreciated it. Heidi was a naive student who frequently used the phrases, “for sure” and “totally.” Holly was an intelligent girl who helped keep the group together. Justin and Chris were average school kids waiting at a bus stop. ”1 ask a lot of questions and I'm nist an average person,” said Justin. "I like being in the play because it gives me a chance to do something for fun." Chris explained, “I’m a backward kind of person who is a little snobby and likes to make fun of people. I ask questions and make fun of the computer kid." The central prop was a huge computer with a screen which sometimes produced silhouetted images such as dancing Egyptian girls. It communicated with the audience in a prerecorded synthesized voice whenever Douglas pressed the appropriate buttons. Mrs. Bomberger concluded, “I think it benefits the students to be in the production because it gives them a chance to perform. It teaches them stage presence, especially those in the dances. I’ve seen the confidence of some of these people improve tremendously. It gives them a chance to be a little creative on stage.” Christopher Sutton expressed several reasons why he enjoyed being involved. “I like being in the play because I can make fun of someone without getting into trouble. I get to show off some of my talents and I get a little bit of free time from the classroom.” NEW MAZDA $625 WORTH OF EXTRAS AT NO EXTRA CHARGE TO YOUA SPECIAL LIMITED-TIME OFFER!

The program was sponsored by the Valley of Virginia Science and Mathematics Consortium which was established by the state for JMU to provide classes and services to the high schools in the area. Those who attended were Tara Fisher, Mathematics; Henry B. Wood, Physics; Raphael Brand, Chemistry; Randy Jenkins,- Biology, and Anthony Fudd, Earth Science. Mrs. Bet Gehringer accompanied the students to JMU. Science chairman Brion Patterson explained that the participants’ selection was based mainly on grade status. “Each school was asked to select a top student from each field of study to participate,” he said. Mrs. Gehringer felt that things were well organized. “When we got there we were greeted in the rotunda where they had a brunch set up for us. After brunch they had orientation and each of the students was told which professor to go with and they were told where to go.” Randy Jenkins was impressed with the biology workshop. “We did a lab practicum of comparing the metabolic rates of humans and mice.” “We had to breathe into a machine that recorded our breathing rate. After we got the metabolic rate of the human, we did an experiment on a mouse to measure its metabolic rate. Then we typed all of the information into a computer and compared the rates,” Randy continued. “We concluded that mice have a higher metabolic rate than humans due to surface area.” “We got to walk through the lab and work with any machine or computer that we wanted to. The machine I worked with most was a BRMA, which is a metabolism apparatus. I now know how to set it up myself and operate it,” Randy commented. “I felt by attending I got a feel of what college will be like if I do go into biology and what kind of labs I’ll be doing and what kind of machines I’ll be working with,” Randy concluded. Henry Wood talked about his day in the physics department. “We studied the theories behind the atom — from the Plum Pudding Therom to contemporary theories. We discussed different scientists and their theories." “I know a lot of the scientists by studying about them last year in class,” Henry said. “I think Mr. Patterson really did a good job of preparing us. This was more meaningful to me since I already knew something about the scientists.” “In the afternoon we did a theory on half life of indium. We counted the number of isotypes from radiation during five consecutive five minute periods. When it finished generating radiation we drew a graph and figured out the half life of it,” explained Henry. “I think attending helped to widen my background. It helped to put all the scientists that we studied together. Instead of talking about them separately we studied them as a group with a common idea,” Henry concluded. Raphael Brirnd played a computer game and figured out the melting point of a substance. “He told us how the computer game worked and how it related to chemistry. The game dealt with DNA molecules and amino acids.” Raphael explained, “There were four substances and an unknown one. It could either melt at 130 degrees centigrade or 190 degrees centigrade. Ours melted at 130 degrees. We mixed several substances together and found out what the unknown substance was.” Mrs. Gehringer sat in on the computer section. “It was fantastic. The instructor was so excited about computers. He read from a play called D'Jin and Tonic which was a take off on bits (a computer component). He was so dynamic!” Mr. Patterson expressed his feelings about enrichment day. “It let them do some things that they can’t do here. For instance, some of them did a lab with a laser which we don’t have. They get the benefit of the expertise of the professors. It gives them a chance to meet other top students in their field.” “I think it’s good for them to see that other kids have studied some of the things that they’ve studied and to hear about things they haven’t heard about before. Even if they don’t really understand it — just to see that there’s a bigger world out there is important,” he concluded.

Some homeowners faced with the need to move may consider renting out their homes instead of selling. What you would be doing, in tax parlance, is converting your primary residence into a rental property. But a decision to convert your own residence to a rental property requires weighing some unique consideration. For one thing, you’ll be giving up the opportunity to defer taxes on the home when you sell it because the rollover feature on real estate profit applies only to a primary residence that is replaced with another primary residence. In contrast, when rental property is sold, you’ll owe tax that year on any profit you make on the sale. If you bought your present home prior to 1981, the depreciation effect would be less favorable. That’s when a much faster writeoff schedule (ACRS) took effect. Taxwise, it makes more sense to sell your present home and use any excess cash for investment purposes.

Wakefield School has announced die early appointment of two new faculty members for the 1986-87 session. Dr. Robert W. Schleck of Gaithersburg, Md., has been appointed to teach political science, economics, modem European history, logic and iebate. Dr. Schleck holds a BA degree from Princeton University, where he was the recipient of the prestigious Lynde Debate Prize. In addition, he has a master’s degree in international relations from Columbia University, and a PhD from New York University in political science. In recent years Dr. Schleck has taught political science at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Previously he was an intelligence analyst in International Affairs with the State Department and a senior research analyst with the Tax Foundation. Dr. Schleck has also served as a fund raiser for the. Republican National Committee. A U.S. Army combat veteran, he holds a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Married and the father of two teen-aged sons, Dr. Schleck is looking forward to living in rural Rappahannock County and teaching Advanced Placement courses to students in Wakefield’s Preparatory Division. Tony Wilson of Woodstock will teach algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. A native of Indiana, Mr. Wilson holds an MA in mathematics from James Madison University. For the past 10 years he has been the head mathematics teacher and wrestling coach at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock. Newly married, Mr. Wilson will live in Woodstock and will drive the Woodstock bus to and from school each day. Wakefield scores in history contest Representing the 7th Congressional District in a competition of district winners from around the state, Wakefield School’s Advanced Placement American History class won the second place award in the state division of the National History Contest held at Lynchburg College May 21-22. First and second place winners in the state contest will represent Virginia in the national contest to be held at the University of Maryland on June 17-21. Participants from 48 of the 50 states will be present for the final contest that will decide the national winners. The theme of this year’s National History Contest is “Compromise and/or Conflict in History.” Categories of the contest include papers, projects, media presentations, and performances. Wakefield’s AP American History class, taught by Headmaster William Lynn, won the award for its presentation of a play entitled The Crittenden Proposal: The Compromise that Failed. Written mostly by 9th grader Robby Roberts, this twoact play depicted the last-ditch efforts of Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden to avert conflict on the eve of the American Civil War. The play showed how the issues of secession and. slavery divided the senator^ MVHk*family," with one eon fighting for the Union and the other for the Confederacy. In the dramatic climax of the play, amid special sound and light effects, students acted out Senator Crittenden’s terri ble vision of fratricidal war as he argued in vain for compromise before the United States Senate in December 1860. After the performance of the play, the students were drilled by the judges on their understanding of the issues. The Wakefield group was highly commended for the appropriateness of their topic, their careful research, and their dramatic technique. Swofford honored at Germanna Laura Swofford of Rappahannock, a first year nursing student at Germanna Community College, is among 39 students inducted into the college’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the national junior college honor society, during honors night ceremonies May 16. Ms. Swofford also received a certificate of academic achievement, awarded to students achieving at least a 3.5 grade point average. At the nurse pinning ceremony May 29 she will receive her cap, signifying successful completion of the first year of the nursing program. Deborah Fltnchum for The Rappahannock News ARIELE FOSTER and Tracy Cox show the puppets they made in the workshop. First grade puppet workshop By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer ' “I thought it would be a nice experience for the kids because I took a course under her when I was in college and had a great time,” said RCES first grade teacher Debra Irby. She was referring to Dr. Inez Ramsey, assistant professor in the Department of Educational Resources at James Madison University. “I teach children’s literature at JMU. As an off-shoot of that I do storytelling and puppetry and related activities of that kind,” Dr. Ramsey added. During the time that she was in Ms. Irby’s class, socks, pom-poms, wobbly eyes and felt turned into cats, dogs, caterpillars, people and dragons. Dr. Ramsey explained that puppetry is good for some children because there is no right or wrong. “It’s what you create and some children don’t yet have that concept that allows them to pick up something and create something for themselves. They always seem to need someone to tell them that what they are doing is right or wrong. I always tell them to do what they want to do. I think this develops some degree of independence from the teacher. The youngster is really on his own. I try not to interfere in what they create,” Dr., Ramsey said. Several students described their feelings about the workshop. Jonathan Moore said, “We used paper, straws, tape, glue, fake eyes, plastic spoons, a pencil, cloth, a sock and yam to make puppets. My favorite one is the one I can put my hand in.” Reynolds Makes An Offer You Can’t Refuse We’ll put you in a 1986 CADILLAC For only $18,159* plus sales tax. registration 4 destination charge Wire wheel covers optional at extra charge 4 door Sedan de Ville Cadillac WITH All these features V-8 engine - power steering - power brakes - electronic climate control - 6 way power seats - power door locks - power windows - AM-FM stereo “seek and scan” - 6 passenger seating capacity - 4 year/50,000 mile limited warranty - independent 4 wheel suspension - tinted glass "Guaranteed delivery at this price A'sofi Q07a / \3 36 months financing available on ail de Villes in stock See Pete Modena.

I made an alligator with my sock. I glued yellow pom-poms on the back and made eyes and a mouth.” Tracy Cox recreated her entire family. “I made my sock puppet look like my daddy. I put whiskers on it and a bow tie and gave him a shirt. I’m making the pencil puppet look like my mother and the straw puppet look like my brother.” Dr. Ramsey concluded, “This type of activity is an outlet for their artistic and creative skills for producing something. We need to foster that kind of creativity. I encourage the students to take their puppets home and perhaps be interested in developing puppet plays and using their puppets in a creative way since it is difficult in this type of situation to do a follow-up activity. “Creating the puppet itself is just the first step. It’s what they do with it later that’s really important.” Children’s lit workshop set at Shenandoah College A workshop in children’s literature featuring noted children’s authors Steve Kellogg, Katherine Paterson and Nancy Larrick will be held June 23-27 at Shenandoah College and Conservatory, Winchester. The course, open to teachers, librarians, parents and college students, focuses on how children can better understand themselves and their world through children’s literature. Techniques of using children’s literature to teach reading and writing skills will also be discussed. A student may elect to take the course for two or three hours of graduate or undergraduate credit. Kellogg has written and illustrated more than a dozen picture books and illustrated more than 50 children’s books. He has been a guest speaker at hundreds of schools and libraries throughout the nation. He is known for the Pinkerton books, The Island of the Skog and The Mysterious Tadpole. Ms. Paterson won the Newberry Award for Bridge to Terabithia in 1978. Her career as an author of young adult literature began with the publication of The Sign of the Chrysanthemum. Other books by Ms. Paterson include Of Nightingales that Weep, The Master Puppeteer, The Great Gilly Hopkins and Jacob Have I Loved. She was the speaker at Shenandoah’s April 27 commencement ceremony and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from the institution. ; Ms.Larrick, a native of Winches- • ter, is internationally known for her work A Parent’s Guide to Children’s Reading. She has also compiled sev-. eral anthologies of poetry for children, most recently When the Dark ; Comes Dancing. She has lectured ; worldwide at universities, libraries and.schools. Shenandoah faculty member Karen Huff and teacher Laura Robb - will direct the workshop. Ms. Huff is the program coordi-; nator for Shenandoah’s elementary education program. She has taught elementary and nursery school children and conducted workshops for college students and parents.

Wakefield holds field day By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield School held its first field day since 1983 on May 23. In 1984 and 1985, field day was eliminated from the spring calendar because of construction on the gym and work on ^he school’s fields. But this year a tradition much enjoyed by the students was re-established and for the first time, parents and friends were encouraged to join in the festivities. The ceremonies began with the traditional parade of athletes. Wakefield students were divided into two teams: the Spartans in red and white uniforms and the Athenians dressed all in white. The teams lined up and ! paraded around the new North Field led by team captains, Larry Tarr of Warrenton and Lee Poore of Washington, carrying the Stars and Stripes and the flag of Virginia. After the opening ceremonies, the day was filled with a variety of games, races, and contests to test the abilities of students and parents alike. Although the Athenians took an, early lead, by the middle of the day the Spartans had closed the gap and for the rest of the afternoon the two teams battled for first place. From the sidelines teachers and students, parents and little brothers and sisters watched as the competition continued. The grounds were filled, with lawn chairs and blankets, picnic lunches, and a barbecue put on by the yearbook staff. By the afternoon’s end, there were a few strained muscles and skinned knees, and more than a few tired athletes, but it was evident that the games and competition had been enjoyed by all. At 3:30 everyone assembled on the banks of the North Field, and Headmaster William E. Lynn announced the final scores. For the first time in the school’s history, the Athenians had out-scored the Spartans. The final score was a close 445 to 429. Certificates and varsity letters were presented to team captain Poore and assistant captain Lisa Johnson of Delaplane. There is no doubt that the return of field day was a great success. It also provided students with a muchneeded break between the end of the final grading period and the beginning of examinations.

Spartan Paul Mitchell (front) goes for the ball , while teammates Jan Ford (left) and Pamela Kanal (right) back him up. Athenian John Mayberry (in white) is in hot pursuit. Wakefield holds sports banquet By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield School's annual sports banquet was held this week at the Fauquier Springs Country Club to honor the athletes who participated in sports at Wakefield this year. Players’ and coaches’ awards were given in each category: the players voted for the person they viewed as their leader and the coaches voted for the student who gave more than 100 percent at all times. In addition, two new awards were added this year. The School Sportsmanship award was presented to Larry Tarr of Warrenton who at all times exhibited the qualities and conduct of an exceptional athlete. The Athlete of the Year award was given to David Rowzie of Amissville. Rowzie was voted to the 1st Team All-Conference in the Delaney Athletic League in both soccer and basketball and in addition was the recipient of the school’s Headmaster’s Award for 1986. Gary Leake, head of the Athletic Department, commented that these awards would become a traditional part of the sports banquet in years to come. The two new awards were decided after a vote by all coaches with the majority deciding the winners. Three awards were also given for Most Improved Players. Again, this award is decided on by the coaches who select players who have shown the most improvement during the course of the season. Winners of these awards were Carey Maar of Front Royal and Jordan Bentley of Middleburg in varsity soccer and Ed McGushin of Haymarket in varsity basketball. Players’ and coaches’ awards for the individual sports were as follows: Varsity Soccer: Players’ — Jorge Gonzalez of Midland, Coach’s — Jerry McDowell of Warrenton. Junior Varsity Soccer: Coach’s — Jerry Latell of Huntly. Varsity Field Hockey: Players’ — Nancy Massie of Flint Hill, Coach’s — Molly Dunning of Boyce.

Panthers end disappointing season By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Real disappointing for the players,” was the way Coach Jon Huddleston described his reaction to the baseball season at Rappahannock High School, which ended for the Panthers on Monday with a 5-0 defeat at the hands of the Clarke County Eagles. On the positive side, however, Coach Huddleston said that “we have a young team. . .we’re losing five seniors but we have five starters returning. We’ll be losing a lot (of experience) in those seniors, but we have a lot of potential.” He said that he has three freshman lettermen returning next year, joined by one sophomore and two juniors who lettered for the Panthers this season. Although the Panthers’ record on the season was a heartbreaking 4-12, Coach Huddleston noted that Rappahannock boasted the second and third slickest base-stealers in the Bull Run District. H. B. Wood wound up with 23 for the season (including two in Monday’s game), and Rob Brown ended the year with 20 successful thefts. He added that four of the five seniors on the team were nominated by the Bull Run coaches for All-District honors. “Tommy Jenkins, who pitched 76 innings, more than any pitcher in the district, finished the season with more than 70 strikeouts as well.” Rightfielder H. B. Wood and catcher Chucky Jenkins earned first-team honors also, while centerfielder Rob Brown received an honorable mention in the balloting. “The team hit well,” Coach Huddleston continued, noting that Rob Brown and H. B. Wood both batted over .400 for the year, while Chucky Jenkins, Greg Smith and Craig Williams all slugged to better than .300 averages on the season. Asked about the team’s disappointing finish to a season which saw them win their first four games, Coach Huddleston replied, “We slipped from a positive attitude. We lost our confidence in the field, and at the plate. Our pitchers threw well, but you can’t make errors and win (ball games).” The coach was quick to add, however, that “I honestly don’t think that there is a better team in the league. We just need to regain that positive attitude. We have a young team, (and) good bench strength. I expect the boys who didn’t play as much this year to pick up the open spots next year.” Rappahannock New* pholo/Lou Hatter H. B. WOOD SLIDES into second base with one of his two stolen bases last Monday. Despite his two stolen bases for the day the Panthers dropped the season’s wrap-up game to Clarke County 5-0. r Holiday Savings On Sampson Paint All The Popular Paints At Special SALE PRICES Sampson HomegardH Our Best Exterior Oil Base Gloss Paint Mfg.

Henry Eastwood (1. front) and Charlie Tompkins supervised the arrangement of the staff and guests, including James J. Kilpatrick (seated at table). Patrick O’Connell (in white) and Reinhardt Lynch, proprietors of The Inn, flank Mr. Kilpatrick. RAAC stages photographic extravaganza at The Inn Traffic stopped and crowds gathered at the center of town last Wednesday for the biggest show — nay, the only show — in Washington on a lazy spring morning. Everyone gawked while The Inn moved out, out to the sidewalk and parking lot in front of the restaurant for a staged photograph for the cover of the 1987 calendar produced by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Photographers Charlie Tompkins and Henry Eastwood began orchestrating around 10 a.m. After Sheriff John Henry Woodward obligingly set up the roadblocks on Main Street, they directed the “grunt crew” volunteers who hauled giant potted plants, an overstuffed chair, the receptionist’s table, a dining table and two chairs, a food preparation table and various accoutrements from the restaurant. “What in the heck are they doing?” mused bystander Fred Donald. “They can’t come up with anything that would make that place look any lovelier,” he added, of Rappahannock’s four star restaurant. It wasn’t a new addition to The Inn, Mr. Donald soon realized. It was theater in the grand tradition. While Sheriff Woodward diverted huge cranes with oversized loads to the town’s alternate entrances, The Inn’s staff trickled in: waitresses in pearl gray uniforms with white stockings and white collars, bell-hop Michael DeLuise in shocking red cummerbund and bow tie, the cooks in bright blue aprons and snowy white caps, upstairs maids in starched black and receptionist Natalie Embrey, a vision of pink in her classic summer suit and broad brimmed hat. Chef Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, proprietors of The Inn, arrived to supervise the display of an eclectic collection of edibles: pecan pies still warm from the oven, live lobsters struggling to free their claws from confining rubber bands, a whole fish, plates of muffins, platters of fresh fruit and mounds of morel mushrooms. Jon Morgan swooshed up in his gleaming 1941 Cadillac, donated for the occasion. Diane Welty brought baskets of flowers; Barbara Jolly brought a basket of French bread and beautiful, bright-eyed Claire. The seats at the table were reserved for James J. and Marie Petrie Kilpatrick, the “dinner guests” who would be the center of the attention lavished by the assembled staff. The Kilpatricks arrived. The maids were posed on the second floor porch, their arms piled with sheets and towels. Gwen Jordan was installed on the sky suite balcony and ordered to hold up her hands to display golden stiletto nails. Willie Arias and Michael Dunn were ensconced with a bucket of potatoes to peel. Hotel Director Deborah Berens in elegant, slinky black sat at the reservation table, telephone to ear and pencil poised. And the ominous gray clouds rolled closer. “Hurry! Hurry! I felt a drop,” urged Joe McCullough, holding a piece of flapping black plastic out of camera range at the side of the building. “Think positive!” admonished Charlie Tompkins as he and Henry Eastwood prepared to snap shutters on an impressive array of photographic equipment. Michael D’Angelo played joker in the crowd. An impish grin under his tall white toque, he brandished a toilet plunger. Chef O’Connell pointed his finger menacingly, wagging it and shaking his head in the “no-no” generally reserved for small boys and mischievous puppies. “You folks upstairs are doing great! I wish I could get the kitchen staff to cooperate,” complained Mr. Eastwood. “Be patient,” he told the muggers around the food table. “Only 30 (shots) to go!” In between clicks of the camera, waitress Marcia Orrison shook out her arms to relieve muscles aching from holding high a tray of wine bottles and glasses. “One more time with animation,” exhorted Mr. O’Connell. “Just a few more, This is the real one. The others were just practice!” he told the Inn’s staff of 35, punchy after a half hour of posing. And the storm clouds rolled closer yet. ‘A little smile,” begged Mr. Eastwood after another 30 clicks of the shutter. “Look like you’re enjoying this,” added Mr. Tompkins. “Now he’s put the film in!” joked the world’s most widely syndicated political columnist. After the shooting ended and he’d sent up his prayer to the rain god for holding off the showers, Charlie Tompkins explained the concept behind the 1987 RAAC calendar in between shouted instructions to the “grunt crew.” “With this calendar, RAAC’s executive committee decided to shift the emphasis from artists’ forum to fund raiser,” he said. “The committee decided that the calendar needed commercial appeal because it’s to be a money-making venture. That doesn’t mean it can’t be artistic, just that the art has to have a theme and a focus.” The theme of the 1987 RAAC calendar is Rappahannock; the focus is architecture. For the last two months, since the executive committee decided to go ahead with a calendar, Mr. Tompkins and Henry Eastwood have been dragging their photographic equipment from historic building to historic house. They’ve shot the courthouse, the Rappahannock Library, Ben Venue, Rose Hill, Oak Hill, the Roy House, Greenwood, Brookside, The Maples, Mount Prospect, Mt. Salem Church, Montpelier, the Clark cabin and Faith Mountain, all examples of the finest in local architecture. “For future calendars, the focus will change. We won’t do historic homes every time, but the theme will remain Rappahannock,” explained Mr. Tompkins, chairman of RAAC’s calendar committee. “We want to ensure that the buyers of the calendars get a little slice of Rappahannock.” This year, for the first time, the calendars will have sponsors. “We want to thank Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch from The Inn at Little Washington for their support. It made a tremendous difference to the project,” said Mr. Tompkins. “And we also appreciate the help we received from the Swindlers at Country Manor and Martin Woodard from Faith Mountain.” Also for the first time, the calendar will feature bits and pieces of Rappahannock trivia, collected by Daphne Hutchinson, who gathered the information for the descriptions of the historic buildings. With the 1987 calendar off to the printers and expected back in time for Fourth of July sales, work has begun on the 1988 edition. Mr. Tompkins invites Rappahannock artists interested in participating in the calendar effort to contact him. Girl Scouts recap busy year Kappahannock Girl scouts enjoyed a campout at Camp Friendship near Palmyra last weekend as another successful year nears its end. Fifty-one girls and their leaders had a chance to try the camp’s ropes course, use the waterfront, and try the trampolines. Fifteen Brownies flew up to Junior Girl Scouts and one Junior bridged to Cadette Girl Scouts at the ceremony that traditionally highlights the Girl Scout May Madness campout. During the past school year Rappahannock has had three active Brownie troops, a Junior troop, a Cadette troop and a Senior troop. Brownie Troop 909, made up mostly of first-grade Brownies, took a trip to Washington, D.C. There the girls got a chance to ride the subway and visit the zoo. They also had a picnic at the zoo. Brownie Troop 955 visited the Patriot Center for the exhibition of the Lipizanner Stallions. Before going the girls had a visit with a native Austrian who talked with them about Vienna and the Royal Stallions. Brownie Troop 929, made up mostly of third-grade girls, also had a trip to Washington, D.C. They visited the National Children’s Museum and had a wonderful time there trying various hands-on activities. They also saw Cinderella performed by a children’s theater group in Alexandria. The Junior Troop took part in the Junior Review Show in Charlottesville, an event for Juniors in Association III which stretches from Rappahannock to Nelson County. There they sang songs, watched skits, and made puppets and neckerchiefs. The Cadettes went horseback riding and helped add a Halloween Fun Fair to the first SPTA sock hop. With the Seniors they went skiing and joined other older girls in Association III for a lock-in in Culpeper. They also helped put on a campout for Rappahannock Brownies in the fall and the Brownie Bee-In for Brownies in Association III this spring. Several girls from the troops also served as volunteers helping Rappahannock’s participants in the Special Olympics. Adult help is necessary to bring the Girl Scout program to girls in Rappahannock. Parents and interested adults are welcome. For next year the Rappahannock Service Unit particularly needs help with the girls who will be in kindergarten, first and third grades. Interested volunteers should call Sharon Kilpatrick at 987-8252. * Be Resourceful. Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT

Tax hikes not great concern, according to planners’ survey By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Are Rappahannock’s taxpayers ready to revolt over a spiraling local tax rate? Not according to a survey taken this spring by the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission. Rappahannock’s real estate levy has climbed steadily in five years, going from 32 cents in 1982 to the advertised 64 cents per $100 of assessed value for 1986-87. But a solid majority of those contacted in the PD survey are ready to see it keep right on climbing — if the revenue goes for “improvement or expansion” of schools, fire protection and rescue services. The telephone survey was organized by the Planning District Commission as part of its work to update Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. Actual telephoning was done by local people — Cheryl P. Taylor, Sandra Brown, Brenda Payne and Valerie Hibbs — on March 23-27 and April 2-17. Four hundred and four households were selected at random from two telephone directories and 164 respondents completed the three page survey, according to PD executive director Bill Stnder, who presented the results to the county Planning Commission last week.. Those surveyed were asked if they’d be willing to pay increased taxes for improvement or expansion of selected public services. Sixty nine percent said yes for schools and 63 percent said yes for fire protection and rescue services. Forty nine percent would be willing to pay more taxes for improved trash collection and disposal, 48 percent for better streets, roads and highways, 47 percent for better police protection, 46 percent for improved health services and libraries, 46 percent for more recreational opportunities and 34 percent for better public utilities. Only in the public utilities category did the percentage of “nays” to higher taxes outstrip the “ayes”. In assessing the future growth and development of Rappahannock County, only 52 percent considered the tax base as “very important.” That ranked below the “very important” rating given schools, w'ater quality and water resources (71 percent), employment opportunities (68 percent), agricultural preservation (65 percent) and housing availability and cost (57 percent). Forty six percent of those polled considered roads and highways “very important” and 33 percent counted “other public service” as “very important.” The survey participants were asked what they viewed as Rappahannock’s greatest problem “now or in the future.” For this question, they had to come up with answers on their own; they were not given a list of choices.

JESUS IS I LORD! i Rev. Bob Dunphy phone 987-8505 (mailing address: Rt. 1, Box 266 Sperryville, Va. 22740) MVCV«V(V(V(V(V(MV(V responded — six percent — said “taxes too high.” Schools and jobs were cited most often, with 27 people (22 percent) maintaining “need better public education” and 26 people calling for more job opportunities. Other areas cited as the county’s greatest problem included unrealistic zoning laws, trash collection and the need for new officials in local govenment (eight percent each), lack of housing and uncontrolled growth (seven percent), growth without planning (five percent), maintaining a rural atmosphere (four percent), need for a new landfill (three percent) and roads (just over one percent). Asked what they liked best about living in Rappahannock County, the overwhelming majority gave answers related to Rappahannock’s rural, agricultural character. Seventyseven percent cited one of the following: rural atmosphere, quietness, natural environment, private, secluded yet close to urbanization, farming community and not overpopulated. Twenty percent liked the friendly people here, two percenj the safety and one percent the low taxes. Those polled agreed generally on the need for wider employment opportunities — 85 percent wanted more jobs — but they split on what kind they wanted to see in Rappahannock. Forty-eight percent said yes to comme.rcial/retail/wholesale; 31 percent said no. Forty-eight percent said yes to industrial/manufacturing; 41 percent said no. Fifty percent said yes to construction; 32 percent said no. Forty-six percent said yes to technical; 31 percent said no. Fifty-five percent said yes to tourism; 34 percent said no. The closest agreement came with farm related jobs and agri-business: 71 percent said they wanted to see more agricultural jobs here while 17 percent answered no. Noting that Rappahannock’s population went from 5,200 in 1970 to 6,100 today, the pollsters asked for preference on future growth. Only 4.8 percent wanted to see the county experience substantial growth with a population expanding to over 12,000. Forty-two percent favored moderate growth with a population of 8,500 and 38 percent chose minimal growth with the population remaining below 7,000. Assessing the county’s housing needs, 47 percent called for more single family residences, 34 percent a mix of single family, townhouse/condominiums and apartments and eight percent apartments.

Also in the housing category, 42 percent of those surveyed noted a need for more rental housing and 31 percent for more owner occupied housing. Almost half of those surveyed — 42 percent — did not answer when asked what they thought the county’s permitted lot size should be. “They said it’s already set by the zoning ordinance so why should they say anything,” pollster Cheryl Taylor explained to the Rappahannock Planning Commission at last Wednesday’s meeting. Of those who did answer, most favored smaller lots. Only 11 percent wanted lot sizes of 10 acres or more, while 12 percent said five to 10 acres, 20 percent said two to five acres and 12 percent said less than two acres. According to Bill Strider, the PD director who supervised the survey, the questionnaire is intended to provide “insights on public attitudes relevant to basic planning issues.” Only persons residing in the county were surveyed. Eighty-four percent of the respondents owned their homes; 14 percent were renters. Household size closely paralleled the average found by the 1980 census takers: the survey average was 2.82 persons per household; the census average was 2.84. Participants appeared to be divided along the lines of population distribution, with the largest concentrations in Sperryville, Washington, Amissville, Flint Hill and Castleton (in that order). However, most of those who answered the questions prepared by the PD staff seem uninvolved in local activities. Only 23 percent said they belonged to a civic organization, with the biggest percentage claiming membership in the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (40 percent) and volunteer fire departments (almost 20 percent). In the next step in the comprehensive plan update, Mr. Strider will present the county planners with an environmental section at their July meeting. Noting that the chapter on environment in the current plan will require few changes, he alerted the commissioners that work sessions will be scheduled before revisions begin on other sections of the plan. Shelter Continued from page 4 hannock to find a willing boarder for the county’s strays until a new landfill is established. “The Sheriffs Department has people there all the time. It was a well, septic and electricity. Put the shelter out here on the lawn next to the clerk’s office so we don’t have to pay $12,000 a year to have somebody watch five dogs a day ... I know that sounds ludicrous but it’s no more ludicrous than putting the animal shelter at Scrabble.” “There’s not a kennel in Rappahannock that meets the state’s requirements,” repeated Commissioner Fannon. In addition, no kennel owner would agree to expose valuable dogs to the parasites and disease that strays carry, added Commissioner Miller. “When J. Newbill Miller is in complete disagreement with Konick and Fletcher on the same issue, maybe he ought to rethink his position, because maybe he’s wrong!” interjected Mr. Konick. Addressing the traffic issue, Commissioner Fannon asked the dog warden for the number of visitors who come by the shelter he now maintains on his farm outside the town of Washington. “It’s a rare thing when anyone ever comes in. A rare thing, a very rare thing!” replied Mr. Bruce. “Fiddlesticks!” he said, dismissing the traffic issue. Rereading the ordinance, Commissioner Miller could not find with absolute certainty whether a site plan is or is not called for in determining compliance with the comprehensive plan. “The approximate location and the approximate character has been described, but do we have to be more specific? ... If we don’t do this right, we’re going to wind up in court ... We need legal advice. I‘m just afraid that if we don’t get it, we’re going to wind up in court!” Commissioners Fannon and Stokes said they saw no problem in finding the shelter location in an agricultural district in accord with the comprehensive plan, based in the information presented. “If you had to comply with all the provisions Mr. Konick has pointed out, I don’t think you could build a house or put a barn up on a farm,” Mr. Fannon noted. “Crisis management,” charged Supervisor Lane, in opposition to putting a dog pound at Scrabble just to mitigate a lawsuit when it’s in the county’s best interest to locate the shelter at the landfill. “The only way I could vote to put the shelter at Scrabble would be by court order . . Let’s try to put the law suit on simmer until we solve the landfill situation. And we don’t have any choice there. We must solve it.” “Would you see if you can work things out with the Humane Society?” asked Mr. Miller. Mr. Lane agreed to try, adding “go to court, and even Jesus has a 10 percent chance of failing.” “The odds would be better than that in today’s courts,” Commissioner Fannon added. On his motion, with Mr. Miller’s second, the Commission found the allowance of an animal shelter in an agricultural district to be in substantial accord with the comprehensive plan. David Thornhill cast the single dissenting vote. In other business, the commissioners agreed to ask attorney Peter Luke to attend their June meeting to advise on the legality of ordinance provisions relating to the subdivision of land contiguous to an existing subdivision. Springfest Continued from page 1 the possibility of several more in the near future.” Mr. Swindler expressed the same optimism and enthusiasm: “Things are looking up for Sperryville and Rappahannock as a whole.” He added that the increase in tourism is good for the entire county, since the tax revenue generated from business sales can be applied against possible increases in individual property taxes. He explained that the tourist flow generates revenue for the county, and “the beauty of it is that at the end of the day the county is back the way it was — quiet and rural.” Martin Woodard, who along with Cheri owns Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques, said Saturday was “the biggest day ever for Faith Mountain.
