Woodward, 75, of Amissville on Monday. Mr. Woodward was the driver of a car struck head-on by a truck which jackknifed as the driver tried to avoid hitting a farm tractor. The accident occured about 11:45 a.m. Monday on Route 522 just north of Route 632 near Chester Gap. Virginia State Trooper A. E. Hampton IV, who investigated the accident, explained that a truck owned by T. H. Compton, Inc. of Berkley Springs, W. Va., was southbound on Route 522. The operator, Gary Somers, rounded a curve and applied his brakes to avoid hitting a slow-moving farm tractor, also southbound, operated by Elijah Shank. Mr. Somers’ truck began to jackknife and the trailer hit Mr. Woodward’s 1978 Ford Fairmont, which was northbound on Route 522. After striking Mr. Woodward’s car the truck continued on and the cab struck the trailer of a northbound tractor-trailer. That truck, owned by Inland Container Corp. and operated by Howard Ladd, had driven partially off the right shoulder and up a bank (on Russell Grimsley’s property) trying to avoid being hit by Mr. Somers’ truck. Three passengers in Mr. Woodward’s car were also taken to Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. Jesse Foster, of Huntly, was listed in stable condition Tuesday night with a fractured arm and contusions and lacerations. Mr. Woodward’s wife, Susie, was later transferred to Fairfax County Hospital where she was listed in serious but stable condition in the intensive care unit. Mary Newcomer, also of Huntly, was also transferred to Fairfax County Hospital where she remains in very serious but stable condition, also in intensive care. Trooper Hampton said that no charges have yet been filed in con RESCUE PERSONNEL work to extricate rear seat passengers from Clyde Woodward’s car. nection with the accident. Sheriff John Henry Woodward informed the Board of Supervisors of the accident when he returned to the courthouse, where he had been attending a budget hearing. “Rappahannock citizens die just as easily as Fauquier County citizens. We need to get those tractortrailers off our narrow two-lane roads,” was Chairman Hubert Gilkey’s reaction to Sheriff Woodward’s information. “This underlines the necessity of getting the tractor-trailers out of Rappahannock and back on Route 17” in Fauquier, Supervisor Charles Estes added as he questioned the authority of the Highway Continued on page 18 Religious retreat opposed BZA denies Chapmans’ request for special use By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The vote, when it came, was an anticlimax. The outcome was obvious after the Board of Zoning Appeals split on the first finding necessary for issuance of the special use permit sought by Renate and Ted Chapman for a religious retreat house in the F.T. Valley. “Is this in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood? That’s the kernel of this whole problem here,” noted Gregory Monahan. “The Chapmans are fine, upstanding people. But the use is just one shade of gray too intensive,” he said, concluding that the retreat house would be in conflict with the “peaceful agricultural, residential (character), the scenic beauty” of Buckner’s Corner. Jimmy Swindler decided the same, leaving the Chapmans with Chairman Lee Bird and Peter Kramer siding in their favor. The BZA members divided similarly on the issue of whether the proposed use of the conservation zoned land was in accord with the county’s zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. “The application must be denied. We cannot get a quorum on all four findings,” announced Chairman Bird, as the BZA closed ranks to unanimously deny the Chapmans’ application. The action at Tuesday’s special meeting ended almost 12 hours of consideration given by the BZA to the retreat house proposal. The second hearing devoted to the Chapmans’ request for a special use permit opened last Wednesday morning, May 28, following a site visit by the BZA members. In between statements of opposition from neighboring landowners, Ted Chapman presented a report from a consulting geolContinued on page 18 | Supervisors agree policy I restricts commercial uses \ Attorney Frank Reynolds called a quarterback sneak and carried the ball on the proposed religious retreat to the Board of Supervisors on Monday. He scored, winning unanimous support for his resolution affirming the county’s policy to restrict commercial uses in conservation zoning districts. Representing A.Y. Stokes and other neighboring landown| ers opposed to the issuance of a special use permit for a religious retreat in the F.T. Valley, Mr. Reynolds told the supervisors that the Boa#' of Zoning Appeals was confused as to interpretation of the zoning ordinance. In considering Ted and Renate Chapman’s permit applicaI tion for a retreat, members of the BZA split on what type of uses | are allowed in a conservation district, according to the Washington attorney. One member of the BZA even held that amendments to allow an gravity slide and other outdoor recreation at the defunct ski area in Harris Hollow were actually “designed to encourage commercial uses in a conservation district,” Mr. Reynolds said. He maintained that the intent of the supervisors - both in adopting the 1973 ordinance and its later amendments — was to severely restrict commercial uses in a conservation zone except where designated commercial, as was the case with the ski area property. Planning Commission Chairman A.Y. Stokes, appearing before the supervisors as a private citizen, presented petitions against approval of the religious retreat center signed by 113 landowners, both from the F.T. Valley and other areas of the county. Planning Commissioner Werner Krebser noted that the adContinued on page 18 $5.3 million budget draws no comment By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer All was quiet at Monday’s county budget hearing. Not a single taxpayer spoke against proposed $5.3 million expenditures which require a real estate levy of 64 cents per $100 of assessed value, double the rate of four years ago and up six cents from this year’s. To hold the advertised rate at a 10 percent increase over 1986, the supervisors propose drawing an estimated $151,000 from accumulated surplus, according to accountant Wally Cox’s budget message. In addition, while the proposed personal property tax rate is unchanged, it will be levied on 37l/2 percent of the assessed value of licensed motor vehicles rather than the current 25 percent of value. The difference in assessment — expected to generate $90,000 - has not been publicized. At the close of Monday’s board meeting, Supervisor Newbill Miller suggested a resolution to Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins noting the change. “I don’t think it’s legal to assess at 25 percent or at 3714 percent (of value),” advised accountant Wally Cox. “I think the law requires fair market value.” “So forget the resolution,” Supervisor Miller responded, grumbling about the ever tighter technical constraints placed on local officials. At the earlier public hearing on the proposed county budget, the board heard from department heads seeking — at least on paper - hefty percentage increases over current appropriations. Sheriffs department, jail Only a small portion of the proposed 35 percent and 33 percent hikes in spending for the sheriffs department and jail operation involves local money, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. The local share of the increase includes $12,000 for six portable radios and repeaters to give law enforcement personnel contact with dispatchers while away from their patrol cars and $10,000 for health insurance. “At this time, the county is furnishing absolutely no benefits,” Sheriff Woodward said. One deputy recently resigned to take a job with the state police, citing Rappahannock’s low pay and no fringe benefits as reasons for the move, “and I un derstand two more are leaving,” the sheriff said. The sheriffs department cannot contract independently for ' health and hospitalization insurance. “The only way that Blue Cross-Blue Shield or anybody else will give us insurance is if the county pays half,” he told the supervisors. Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that health insurance benefits are not provided for county employees, except teachers. Under legislation passed by Virginia’s General Assembly, if insurance is furnished to any county employees, it must be provided for the. sheriffs department, according to Sheriff Woodward. He acknowledged, however, that opinion is divided as to whether teachers are classified as county employees. In response to questions on portions of his department’s budget funded by the state, Sheriff Woodward noted that a $25,000 increase proposed for part-time personnel re-' suits from the restriction to a 40hour work week unless overtime is paid. “I’ve asked for two additional people in the jail. If they’re approved (by the State Compensation Board), the part-time money will drop,” he explained. And conversely, if the additional positions are denied, the appropriation for the jail will decrease, the sheriff said. As for salary increases, he reported that the state has awarded 4.57 percent pay hikes for deputies and 11 percent for sheriffs. Virginia’s sheriffs did not get a pay increase last year, and because state law specifies that the top deputy can be paid only 90 percent of a sheriffs salary, that salary had to be pushed up by a bigger percentage to maintain the difference, according to Sheriff Woodward. He informed the supervisors that the Department of Corrections recently completed a study of Rappahannock’s provisions for feeding prisoners. Currently, the county contracts with the Hampton Inn to supply meals at a cost of $20,000 per year. State correction officials “want to see a kitchen . . . The state says we should be able (to feed prisoners) for $10,000 in our own kitchen,” Sheriff Woodward said. The state would split remodeling costs with the county, he reported. Then of the $20,000 the county gets Continued on page 13 Fauquier kennel agrees to shelter county dogs Pending a final OK from the state veterinarian, Rappahannock’s supervisors have found a taker in neighboring Fauquier County for the county’s stray dogs. Chairman Hubert Gilkey reported that John Klein, the. owner of a commercial kennel just over the county line 6.2 miles from Flint Hill, is willing to board Rappahannock’s strays for $5 per dog per day. The county is seeking a year’s contract with option to renew for a second year, said Mr. Gilkey. Supervisors Gilkey and Newbill Miller visited Mr. Klein’s kennel last week. “I think it would meet state standards (for animal shelters),” the board’s chairman noted. According to Mr. Gilkey, the kennel owner is asking to have a 20by-16-foot concrete slab poured and fencing erected for dog runs at the county’s expense. Mr. Klein will move his dogs to the new quarters and reserve the existing runs attached to the kennel building for Rappahannock’s strays. “He’s going to put his dogs in substandard housing!” joked Mr. Miller. With expiration of the lease, the county would remove the fencing for the new runs but leave the concrete slab, Mr. Gilkey noted. Dogs would be hauled to the kennels by warden Jack Bruce, who would take animals unclaimed after five days back to the gas chamber on his farm to be put to death. Mr. Klein’s commercial kennel already has water, electricity and the approved septic system required by the state, Mr. Miller noted. “I know’ ($5 per dog per day) is expensive but it’s not as expensive as most kennels . . . The situation is not going to be anywhere near as satisfactory as what the county has now,” he said, adding that “Jack knows dogs. He just flat knows dogs." (Currently, Mr. Bruce houses stray dogs in kennels he constructed on his own property outside the town of Washington. The facilities do not meet state standards for animal shelters, and the county faces a suit from the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies over that noncompliance. A hearing on the suit, which was lodged in 1984, has been set for next month.) Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke pointed out that law requires a shelter to be reasonably accessible to the public. This means, he said, that Mr. Klein must have his kennels open specified hours. Sheriff John Henry Woodward also noted that arrangements must be made to collect fines from people who reclaim unlicensed dogs. Supervisor Gilkey promised that these and other details will be addressed once approval is received Continued on page 13

Supervisors looking for new landfill location By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rapphannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock’s supervisors acknowledged on Monday that they’re looking for a new landfill location in the county. “We’re in the process of finding a site — someone to say they have a piece of property they’re willing to sell for a landfill,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. “The process — once it becomes viable — won’t come out of a back room,” he added, promising that the public will be apprised as soon as a willing seller is found. Local officials have known for some time of dwindling capacity at the privately owned and operated landfill near Woodville. Accordingly, the supervisors proposed last year to open a new site on 138 acres near Peyton Farms subdivision but the plan was abandoned when opposing landowners threatened suit. Trash continued to be dumped at the Woodville landfill, and in April Robert Forman of the Health Department’s Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management directed that a closure plan be submitted, estimating that capacity would be reached at the end of June. David Chuse, representing the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League, raised the landfill issue at Monday’s meeting. “We want what’s going on to be on the public record,” Mr. Chuse said. He noted that in an earlier study of the county’s trash problem, Rappahannock’s Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee had proposed a two-track policy: Pursue a long-range solution of transporting solid waste outside the county for disposal and in the short term, either find an adjoining locality willing to take the county’s trash at its landfill or haul it to the resource recovery facility at Harrisonburg. Mr. Chuse recalled that the committee had recommended opening a new landfill here only as a last resort and then only after first developing — in public — site selection criteria. By implication drawn from the board’s endorsement of sludge disposal at a new county landfill and its desire to locate a new animal shelter there, the decision has been reached to create another landfill in Rappahannock County, Mr. Chuse said. “But there’s been no public announcement.” Before the supervisors go ahead with a landfill here, he said, they should begin the public process to establish site selection criteria. In addition, he repeated the Solid Waste Disposal Committee’s urging for participation in a resource recovery facility. “Possibly as soon as 18 months, the Riverton plant in Front Royal may be on line,” he said, referring to Warren County’s consideration of an energy-producing trash disposal facility. “What do we do with our trash in that 18 month period?” asked Supervisor Hubert Gilkey. “We talked about going to Harrisonburg but I don’t think people would elect anyone sitting around this table if we told them the price...$500,000 a year.” “And we’d still have to maintain a landfill for our non-bumables,” interjected Supervisor Charles Estes. Supervisor Newbill Miller noted that all adjoining counties and others beyond have been asked to take Rappahannock’s trash and have refused. “Maybe one of the doors that’s been slammed in our face has just opened a crack,” interjected Supervisor Nelson Lane, indicating that one locality may have reconsidered. “Well, call them — call them!” Mr. Miller responded. Mr. Lane, who said he had just returned from Chicago that morning, promised to follow up on the possible reconsideration. Turning to the points raised by Mr. Chuse, the Stonewall-Hawthome supervisor said that the board is attempting to adhere to all the recommendations from the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and, at the same time, also pursue “a crisis management plan.” “The public will have plenty of time to have input before this board enters into any long term agreement,” Mr. Miller said. The committee’s suggested criteria for site selection “are taken into consideration every time we look at a site,” said Supervisor Gilkey. But the criteria represent “an ideal,” he maintained. “I don’t think we’re going to find the perfect location in Rappahannock County.” The advisory committee had proposed that a group of private citizens be appointed to work with the board on site selection. “That’s a real good thing, but only if we had plenty of time and if we wanted to condemn property,” said Supervisor Lane. So instead the board is trying to find a willing seller and using unspecified standards to evaluate a potential site, countered Mr. Chuse. “Is this the best way to go?” “No. The best way to do it would have been to do it 10 years ago,” countered Supervisor Lane. Attorney Frank Reynold suggested following Culpeper County’s example in ranking site characteristics in order of priority. Determine if access or central location is top priority; describe the soil types necessary for a landfill, he told the supervisors. Once criteria are established, it may become obvious that only 20 percent of Rappahannock’s land meets those criteria, he said, acknowledging that the elimination process would provide clues as to where a dump would have to go. “But at least that gets it to the public that this is what’s going to happen... The neighbors are going to oppose it but then, when you get to the point of actual site consideration, the public will have been informed all along,” Mr. Reynold said. Recalling the landfill selection process in Culpeper, Mr. Miller noted that supervisors there used criteria to decide between four possible sites. “We’d really like to have one option ... I could see the point of criteria if we had more than one choice, but we really don’t even have one!” Mr. Reynolds countered that the board should establish criteria, establish where to locate a landfill, make the landowner a fair offer and if that offer is turned down, “it doesn’t matter who owns it, you have the power to go after it (with the power of eminent domain).” But if that landowner has 300 acres and the county only condemns 80 acres for its landfill, the landowner can claim damages to the residual that could make the proposition as expensive as hauling solid waste to Harrisonburg, Supervisor Miller replied. Werner Krebser said that Rappahannock’s citizens may prefer to pay for having the county’s trash shipped out, even if hauling means 18 cents on the tax rate. The board should answer that question before proceeding with a landfill, he maintained. “We’d spend a third as much taking trash out of this county as we do on educating our children,” figured Supervisor Miller. “I don’t know about that.” “Everybody creates trash; not everybody creates children,” quipped Mr. Reynolds. “What’s the next step? What are you waiting for?” Mr. Chuse asked. “A miracle!” Supervisor Lane replied. “We’re looking, but we haven’t found a person yet willing to agree to sell or lease land for a landfill,” said Supervisor Miller, looking to the chairman for confirmation. Hubert Gilkey shook his head no. Deficit priority, Slaughter says By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The number one priority of the federal government is to get the deficit down,” asserted Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. (R-Va./7th) in an interview before the town meeting he chaired last Friday in Washington. Congressman Slaughter said that he is “hopeful, but not optimistic, that Congress will pass a budget” which is within the guidelines set forth by the Gramm-Rudman balanced budget law enacted by Congress last year. The spending reduction mandated by the Gramm-Rudman legislation calls for $36 billion dollars in cuts during the present fiscal year. Congressman Slaughter explained that “Congress must set spending priorities — to stay within the targets (mandated by the five-year budget-balancing law). If no action is taken by Sept. 1, automatic reductions will cut federal programs across the bodrd.” “Most fetfcral programs will be continued...it’s a question of reductions; (of) trying to hold the line...(Congress will) make some reductions in lower priority programs.” Defense funding, Congressman Slaughter said, “should be continued at approximately the same levels. Congress and the executive branch need to cut out waste and fraud in contracts.” In the area of education, “lots of programs will be affected, although at the federal level more in higher education than in public education. I hope that those programs will not be impaired - although they may not see the funding increases as in previous years. Many programs will see no increase (in funding) even though the programs are desirable.” Asked about the radical tax reform bill recently passed unanimously by the Senate Finance Committee, Congressman Slaughter said that he thinks that the bill “has some good points. It eliminates many deductions and shelters...it offers lower tax rates and many fewer tax brackets.” The Congressman added, however, that he feels Individual Retirement Accounts should (=J Real Estate sii.’zzr, Eileen M. Day realtor DEPOSIT PROTECTION When a real estate buyer and seller agree on the sale of land, it is common practice for the buyer to make a deposit to be applied to the purchase price. Normally this deposit — sometimes called "earnest money" is placed in the real estate agent’s escrow account until closing. The deposit serves many purposes. In addition to protecting the buyer by demonstrating that he .is serious about purchasing the land, and therefore inducing the seller not to offer the real estate for sale to anyone else, it also protects the seller in case the buyer does not live up to his end of the sale contract. Should the purchaser fail to buy the land as agreed, he will usually forfeit the deposit money. In this way, the seller is compensated for the likelihood of a missed sale because he took his real estate off the market. The deposit of the earnest money in the real estate professional’s escrow account also protects the buyer. If the seller cannot or does not convey the land _or there appears a title defect which cannot be reasonably cured — the deposit money will be refunded from escrow.

We’re here to help. be exempted from the reform legislation, and “should be left as is under the present law.” He said that the farm bill recently passed by the Congress will mostly affect major commodities: “most of which don’t impact farmers in the Seventh District. Agriculture (here) is more diverse — we’re probably better off with diversity.” He added that the decline in interest rates will be “a boon to...farms in general. Agriculture is still important... (it) has such an impact on the rest of the economy”. Congressman Slaughter said that he has introduced a bill “which will provide a tax incentive for individuals to save money toward medical bills after retirement.” He explained that the bill is targeted toward younger workers. It will not affect the present revenues generated for Medicare, “but it would mean less claims against the present system.” He added that catastrophic illness coverage is included in the bill, “(since) it is impossible for most people to deal financially with catastrophic illness.” Congressman Slaughter concluded by reemphasizing the importance of the interrelated tasks of getting the deficit under control and balancing the budget. “(It is) the primary issue... Congress is responsible for aDDroDriations. taxing, financial affairs. I hope that we will make some progress on deficit reduction this year. It has such a tremendous effect on the economy: borrowing and piling up debt. It could lead to high interest rates again. The high interest rates hurt business, the private sector, state and local governments by cutting the amount of money available to them.” Congressman Slaughter added, however, that “several major economic problems are fairly well resolved... inflation is down to almost zero...interest rates are approximately one-half what they were in 1980... and country-wide employment is up. If the Gramm-Rudman targets are met that will mean a nearly 20 percent reduction in the debt. That’s about a 50/50 proposition -- but I’m still hopeful.” Guitar lessons The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is offering group guitar lessons, taught by noted musician Tom Espinola, at the Gay Street Theater beginning June 17.

V_) THURSDAY, JUNE 5,1986 Editorials Time to reconsider Monday’s fatal accident involving an automobile, a farm tractor and two tractor-trailers on Chester Gap heightens a controversy which has been brewing for some time -- in fact, since the Highway Department banned large trucks from a narrow section of Route 17 in Fauquier County. Ironically, one of the major considerations leading to that ban was an accident involving a tractor-trailer and an automobile which claimed four lives. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey clearly spoke for all of Rappahannock’s residents Tuesday when he said that “(we) can die just as easily as Fauquier County citizens.” The answer, however, may not lie in an either/or choice. In recent years the federal government, bowing to pressure from the transportation industry, has loosened regulations to allow longer and heavier rigs on the highways. At the same time, budget constraints and deregulation of the industry has decreased the number of inspectors as well as their authority. The result, as recent reports by AAA and other organizations points out, is an epidemic of oversized, overloaded and too often poorly-maintained tractor-trailers riding the nation’s highways. The possibilities are frightening enough on interstate highways, where the lanes are larger and the flow is more constant. On a narrow, blind curve in Rappahannock County the consequences of combining large trucks and a farm tractor, operating apparently within the law on a public highway, were graphically and tragically demonstrated Monday. Not fifty yards from that spot another southbound truck recently lost its brakes and ran across the northbound lane and into a field. Fortune smiled that time -- no one was coming up Chester Gap and the truck driver was not seriously injured. Fortune, like the sun, was hidden by clouds on Chester Gap Monday. Supervisor Gilkey was right — to a point. The question is whether such vehicles should be allowed on ANY county’s “narrow, two-lane roads,” and if so, who is responsible for assuring that they adhere to safety regulations and highway laws. Certainly trucking is vital to the movement of commerce in the country, and most truckers are responsible operators. But the trend seems clear: More trucks are involved in more serious accidents. Perhaps the time has come for Washington to reconsider the wisdom of deregulation. Does the savings in dollars justify the cost in lives?

Needed: ‘People power’ To the editor: Has this county got a morale problem? Getting people to help is like pulling teeth! Is there a lack of interest and support towards the playground or just general disinterest? Doesn’t anyone read this newspaper? There REALLY is a playground out there! And you can thank Kenny Rogers, Pat Foster and Ken Welk for being there every single weekend from 7 a.m. till 6 p.m. Three regular workers and a small group of skilled part-time volunteers are trying to build something worthwhile out behind the school. Where are all the skilled carpenters and handymen with kids in school? Can’t you squeeze just a few more hours out of your weekend? Isn’t it embarrasing when you see the same poeple turn out for community projects over and over again? Don’t you wonder why THEY do it? I know it’s garden time, vacation time and all kinds of other time, but this is the last week of school and probably the last OFFICIAL Playground work weekend. Do something, PLEASE! My husband and I are in the same boat as you...with little time and lots to do. But we are committed to getting this project finished...and finished it will be...with or without help! I’m not naive enough to believe that everyone in school would turn out to build this structure, but I am blockheaded enough to hope that half the families would really put out a healthy effort of sharing their time, &nd skills. If the untapped workforce won’t show up to help build the playground for the only public school in the county, how can you ever expect to accomplish anything that requires “People Power?” Physical effort means public support. All the teachers, parents, students and interested parties that have put time and money in this project already are truly community conscious in my opinion. And the only thanks they’re likely to get is right here. Workmen, please come over to the school and help build this playground this weekend, even though it will be an inconvience to make time for it. We all know what it’s like...we’ve been there too! This will be a community project for the school ONLY if the community shows up. MAGGIE ROGERS Playground Chairman RCESPTA Sludge moratorium retained It will continue to be against the law to spread sludge or septage generated outside Rappahannock on county land — at least until the Water and Sewer Authority determines if it can find a hauler for sludge and septage from Sperryville’s sewer system. At Monday’s board meeting, WSA member Del Price warned the supervisors that unless they adopt a sludge disposal plan by mid-July, they may be putting Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant “in jeopardy, very serious jeopardy.” He noted that the local health official responsible for overseeing disposal of solid wastes has declared the board’s intention of dumping Sperryville’s sludge in the county landfill to be no plan at all. Mr. Price also called the 48 pound projection on the amount of sludge the Sperryville plant will produce “totally simplistic.” That figure refers to dry sludge, he said, and the Sperryville plant will be producing wet sludge in amounts yet to be determined, despite efforts by project engineers to arrive at an estimate. The sewage treatment facility has a certificate to operate contingent upon submission of a sludge and septage disposal plan to the state by July 15, according to the WSA member. With no plan, the facility will be inoperable, and then the county may face “a bunch of lawsuits” from state and federal agencies over mismanagement of $2.1 million in grant funds spent on the Sperryville project, Mr. Price warned. At present, the WSA can contract with a private hauler to take the septage from tanks in the Sperryville system outside the county for disposal, he continued. But he noted that a probable disposal site in Culpeper County is now a potential suspect in alleged ground water contamination and may be closed by the State Water Control Board. Mr. Price asked the supervisors to continue the current moratorium on land application of sludge and septage until the WSA opens bids for hauling Sperryville’s sewage residue. If the county replaces the temporary moratorium with an ordinance that prohibits the spreading of sludge, if the county has no landfill and if the WSA is unable to contract for hauling sludge past the county line, “we’ll have an inoperable treatment plant, leaving the door wide open to a suit over misuse of $2.1 million in federal and state grant funds,” Mr. Price said. “If there’s no compelling reason to abandon the moratorium, we ask that you keep it in place until one or more of these problems are solved.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noted that the moratorium has “a built-in legal question mark by discriminating against out-of-county sludge.” In addition, he pointed out that the prohibition was intended to be temporary until a study could be completed to determine the capability of county land for land application of septage and sludge; that study has been done. But Mr. Luke advised that the supervisors face “no appreciably increased risk” in extending the moratorium for “another few months” in light of the county’s landfill dilemma and the WSA’s request for delay. Accordingly, the supervisors agreed to table the issue of the moratorium pending a recommendation from the WSA after it completes the bidding process for hauling Sperryville’s septage out of the county. No Insurance? Earlier in Monday’s meeting, WSA member Bob Dennis asked the supervisors to allow the Water and Sewer Authority to ride “piggyback” on the county’s insurance policy. “We’re in the same sort of bind you are in respect to insurance... Yours runs out this Thursday. So does ours,” Mr. Dennis said. He reported that insurance companies contacted would only provide the WSA with coverage if they could also insure the county. “We will continue to look but we may have to go with the company that insures the county,” said Mr. Dennis. “We don’t like the fact that after this Thursday, we won’t be insured.” “I don’t think any of us like that fact, either,” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey responded. The board later authorized Mr. Gilkey to meet with the insurance consultant on Thursday and empowered him to accept a bid on the county’s behalf. “That’s assuming we get any bids,” noted Clerk Diane Bruce. Personnel Appointments On the nomination of Supervisor Lane, the board reappointed Bill Oliver as School Board representative from Stonewall-Hawthome District. Supervisor Miller’s nomination of John Clark, Jr. as the Planning Commission member from Hampton District was unanimously endorsed. Mr. Miller held that seat until his appointment to the Board of Supervisors following the death of Clarence Baldwin; Mr. Clark will finish Mr. Miller’s unexpired term. Washington attorney Frank Reynolds was named the county’s representative to the Community Diversion Board which oversees the local Alcohol Safety Awareness Program and the community service alternatives for those convicted of misdemeanor offenses. The supervisors tabled until their July meeting action on appointments to the Water and Sewer Authority. Reforesting increases 200 percent in county More than 115,000 seedlings of various species were planted in Rappahannock County this spring. This reflects a 211 percent increase over last year. White pine was the mtyor species with 104,000 seedlings planted. Other plantings include black walnut, sawtooth oak, Norway spruce, loblolly pine, autumn olive, Scotch pine, black locust, shrub lespedeza and Virginia pine. The seedlings were planted for a variety of purposes. Nearly onethird of them were planted for Christmas tree production. Rappahannock County is ideally situated to take advantage of the strong Christmas tree market in northern Virginia. Other reasons for planting include forest products, erosion control, improvement of wildlife habitat and windbreaks. It is not too early to begin thinking about next spring’s planting season. The Division of Forestry is now accepting applications for the RT cost-share program for the 1987 spring planting season. Reforestation costs generally range from $35 and $50 per acre after cost-share help. In addition to the RT program, there are other federal and state cost-share programs that may also be available. These additional programs can further reduce the cost of planting. Anyone interested in reforesting an old field or cutover area should call Buck Kline, Area Forester, at 948-5341 or Tippy Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden, at 987-8837. You can also write to Virginia Division of Forestry at P.O. Box 148, Madison, Va. 22727. State to hold sewage meeting The State Water Control Board has announced that it will hold a public meeting to discuss proposed amendments to the Commonwealth of Virginia Sewerage Regulations. The meeting will be held at the Municipal Building in Warrenton at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 17. The current sewerage regulations were adopted by both the State Water Control Board and the Vir ginia Department of Health and originally became effective in February 1977. The proposed amendments primarily reflect advances in sewerage conveyance and treatment technology since then. Major changes involve the addition of regulations for newer technologies including ultra-violet light irradiation, composting, and rotating biological contactors. Significant revisions to sections on land application of sludge, land application of wastewater, aerated lagoons, disinfection, and sludge handling processes will also be explained and open for comments. Copies of the proposed amendments are being mailed out by the Virginia Department of Health. They may be obtained by writing the State Water Control Board, 2111 N. Hamilton St., Richmond, Va. 23230.

McNear was given back $4,000 for his zoning office — to allow him to stay open an extra day a week to keep up with development pressures — when the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors met last Thursday to adopt the budget and set the tax rate. Restoration of the funds did not affect the tax rate, however, since Chairman Newbill Miller and the other members of the board agreed with McNear that the increased fees and increased value to the county’s assessed valuation would more than “offset” the additional sum allotted this office. Thus, the tax rate was set at $4.10. Dr. John P. Snead IV, director of the Fauquier Family Guidance Center, will be guest speaker at the June meeting of the Fauquier Association for Retarded Children Monday night, June 12. 9 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the June 9, 1977, edition Rappahannock County’s population increase between 1973 and 1975 exceeded both the state growth and the growth rate of the other four counties in Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Nine, according to census information released by the Planning District Commission. Between 1973 and 1975, the county gained 601 new residents, an increase of 11.7 per cent, while the state growth rate for the same period was 7.1 per cent. Luray Ruritan sets 25th anniversary horse show The Luray Ruritan Horse Show will mark its 25th anniversary at the Page Valley Fairgrounds in East Luray June 6 and 7. Show times will be 7 p.m. Friday, June 6, and 10 a.m. and 12:30 and 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 7. Admission will be $1 per person and a chicken barbecue meal will be served starting at 4 p.m. Saturday for $3 each including admission to the grounds. The meal will include 1/2 chicken, potato chips and apple sauce. The horse show traces its 25-year history to the old Riverside Horse Show first held at Page Valley Estates in 1961 by a group of local horse enthusiasts and other residents. It was officially sponsored by the Girl Scout organization, but Ruritan members served barbecued chicken at the first show. Among the early organizers were Maxine Sloat of Luray and her late husband, Bill, and Mildred Minis, also of Luray, and her late father, C. B. Graves, all breeders and exhibitors of prize-winning Tennessee walking horses. A special trophy in the show memorializes Bill Sloat. The 1962 show was jointly sponsored by the Ruritan Club and other groups and in 1963 the show moved to the Page Valley Fairgrounds under full sponsorship of the Luray Ruritan Club. Cletus Waters was ringmaster at the first show and continued in that capacity until his death in 19832. He is honored by a trophy in the open wester championship stake. Another show pioneer was Kenneth Wymer, who served as treasurer for many years until his death in 1985. A trophy in the all-day pleasure championship stake will be given for the first time this year in his memory. Junior Ray Miller, who has served as the show’s secretary for its beginning, noted that the first show had only 16 classes. The second show expanded to 23 classes and this year’s silver anniversary show will feature 58 classes. The facilities also have greatly improved over the years, Miller said. The fairgrounds now features a 150-by-300 foot show ring with ringside bams offering 100 stalls built in cooperation with the Page Valley Fair Association two years ago. This year’s show chairman is Bob Linaburg. Others serving on the committee with Miller are S. H. Griffith, long-time show chairman who resigned the position in 1984, bam chairman and Mark Kemp, teasurer. Judges for the show will be Kim Bennett of Alvaton, Ky., walking horses; Sally Herrold of Owings Mill, Md., saddle horses, and Bob Spedden of Ellicott City, Md., western horses. The show is rated by the Virginia Horse Show Association, the Shenandoah Valley Horsemen’s Association, the Tri-State Walking Horse Association and the Walking Horse Owners Association. Brevity is the soul of poetry By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A challenge in the game of words some poets especially enjoy is succinctness. How much can one say in a few words? Emily Dickinson (18301880) prized expression just short of the epigram. All her poems are short. Two in which she expresses the pain of living might have been Composed at nearly the same time. The Heart Asks Pleasure First reminds me of Shakespeare’s Seven Ages of Man, his 23 deft lines characterizing life from infancy to second childishness (As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII). Dickinson’s eight-line portrayal of human longing takes us swiftly from hoping for pleasure (We all had happy childhoods?), to praying that death will come. She couches her feelings in physical terms — pleasure, relief from pain, looking for a “powder,” sleep. But in the next to last line, we learn from her reference to an “Inquisitor” that her suffering is mental, not physical. Dickinson does not tell us who the Inquisitor is, who is making demands, who wants information. She understands that the reader will have an answer that comes from within. Perhaps she was leaving a way out for her doubting self. The. heart asks pleasure first., And then, excuse from pain; And then., those little anodynes That deaden suffering; And then, to go to sleep; And then, if it should he The will of its Inquisitor, The liberty to die. In Of Course I Prayed, with 12 lines, she tells us that she could not find Divine help for her mental anmiich uml fpolc that a lnvincr OnH Health fair in Front Royal Warren Memorial Hospital is sponsoring a Community Health Fair on Saturday, June 7, from noon until 4 p.m. at the Raymond E.

She finds it ironic that she owes her life, the source of her sorrow, to God, yet should be admonished to look to God for solace. Of course I prayed - And did God care? He cared as much as On the air A bird had stamped her foot And cried “Give me!” My reason, life, I had not had, but for yourself ’Twere better charity To leave me in the atom's tomb, Merry and nought and gay and numb. Than this smart misery. Dickinson is regarded as a religious poet. God and theological concepts appear frequently in her work. These two poems indicate that her faith wavered. Saying her misery is smart may be a way of making fiin of herself — while her feelings are smarting, she is commenting upon her condition smartly, brightly, wittily. When she speaks of being merry and gay in the atom’s tomb, she may have thought she could have been a wildflower in a field, beautiful and unfeeling. In another poem she says the slaying frost attacks the plants all unaware, swiftly, often overnight. In these brief poems (first published in 1923) we are hardly aware of the small role rhyme and meter play. Near rhymes like “life” and “self,” “tomb” and “numb” seem good enough. It is as if Dickinson believed the drama and power of her thought and expression were too strong to need rhymes to make them memorable.

"When you answer the telephone and announce the name of our organization," said the company president to his staff, “you are our company." "You are the only person in our organization the caller may ever meet If your Voice does not communicate warmth, helpfulness, and cordiality, that person will have a negative view of who we are. Please remember," he pleaded, “that when you speak, you speak for all of us." The company president’s logic (and reality) applies to every area of life. When we speak, whether on telephone or in person, people not only judge who we are but also who we represent by what we say and HOW we say it. I know one chief executive officer of a company who always calls prospective employees at home “just to hear their daily, unguarded telephone manners. It is a test they must pass to become part of our organization," he says. HOW we speak and WHAT we say reveals not only WHO we are, but who we represent Paul puts it this way: "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel..." (Phil. 1:27) Copyright 1986.

The first Artists’ Forum, scheduled for Saturday, June 7, from 4-10 p.m., is designed to increase the awareness of the audience, and to make the communication between artists and their audience into a creative experience. creative Audience anu r ecuback” will feature Shirley Paukulis, founder and director of the Artists’ Collaborative Studio in Lexington, Mass. Ms. Paukulis has been a choreographer, director and performer of dance, opera and theater in New York, Boston and Washington. She is the co-founder of the Dance Circle and the Cambridge Montessori School, and has taught dance therapy at Boston University. She assisted photographer Minor White in his Creative Audience class at MIT for seven years, and later presented workshops all around the country using his method of creative seeing and feedback. The workshop is designed as a total experience for the participant, beginning with techniques to encourage perception and receptivity. Artist and audience are asked to respond directly to a work of art without prejudgement, interpretation or personal expectations. The result can be a deeply creative act in which audience and artist learn from each other what goes into the experience of a work of art. “Artists need to be audiences for their own work, as well as for each other’s,” Sally Nash explained, “to stand back and examine objectively what they have created. This provides insight from a deep responsive place in themselves. “With others as audience, the artist is opened up to a view of what he’s done. A good audience is able to help an artist see what’s in his work which he may not realize.” Ms. Nash stresses'that khe’s talking about observattons which don’t communicate judgement or criticism but rather a personal response to content or form. The quality of dialogue which this allows creates another experience: that of the artist and his audience mutually responding directly to art, an ongoing creative act. In August, Jeanne Drevas will lead a workshop in group construction of a work of art which will be displayed at RAAC’s Gay Street Theater. Jeanne’s works of art include pottery, woven sculptures and her own handmade house. This ArtIn will be held from 10:30 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 23, and participants are encouraged to bring found objects. rv jjanci uiocu&&iuii iiiuutjrateu uy Laurie Marshall will address “Expanding Markets for Visual Artists and Craftspeople,” on Saturday, September 20, from 5-10 p.m. Five versatile and distinguished arts administrators and gallery owners will educate local craftspeople and artists in expanding markets to the corporate world as well as finding audiences through galleries. On Friday, October 24, from 7-10 p.m., Claudia McCue and Nol Putnam will present a seminar in basic business and accounting practices for self-employed artists and craftspeople. Claudia and Nol are artistsblacksmiths. As proprietors of the White Oak Forge in The Plains, they produce hot-forged, custom iron work including architectural pieces, restoration and house hardware. In the fifth seminar Sally Nash will discuss the questions: Why do we do our art? What is its meaning in our lives? Ms. Nash is the founder/director of the Last Minute Wood Company and chairperson of the Artists’ Forum. This seminar will be held Friday, November 14, from 710 p.m. Making a living will be the focus of Sam Clifton’s discussion with slides on Friday, December 12, titled “The Eclectic Artist.” Sam is an architectural designer, builder/project manager, stained glass restorative consultant, fiber artist/sculptor.

Friends of Flossie plan a memorial for herb lady Flossie Williamson, the herb lady of Woodville, left behind a legacy when she died last month. Scores of Rappahannock gardners have a patch of parsley, a spot of sage or a clump of chives from Oak Forest where Mrs. Williamson raised herbs for the Washington Cathedral’s shop. She taught poison ivy sufferers how to ease the itch with an herbal poultice and Nervous Nellies how to calm their palpitations with a cup of herbal tea. At garden parties and buffets, county cooks pass plates of delicately delicious herb sandwiches, fill tall glasses with Flossie’s refreshing herb punch and crown salads with dressings of herb vinegar. Friends of Flossie, a loosely knit bunch of the herb lady’s friends and admirers, are determined that this bequest should not slip away. As a memorial to Mrs. Williamson, they’re collecting her recipes with the aim of publishing an herbal cookbook. “Her dearest wish was to have her recipes published,” said Quita Parrish, who will illustrate the cookbook. But it isn’t just her culinary directions that Flossie’s friends want to preserve. The words of wisdom she dispensed with her recipes, the philosophy of life she shared as she gave a basket of fresh mint, “that’s what endeared her to us,” said Barabara Scherer. ‘We want to save that, too.” The Friends of Flossie are asking others who knew this grand lady to remember the advice she gave and the anecdotes she told. “Jot them down or call one of us and pass the stories on,” said Mrs. Parrish. “If you ever lent Flossie a cookbook, shake it out,” Mrs. Scherer requested. “She’d get ideas every time she’d look through a cookbook and she’d make notes. I found several scraps of paper with suggestions scribbled on them in a cookbook I lent her.” Those who have recipes or remembrances to contribute to Mrs. Williamson’s memorial should contact Quita Parrish (937-4652), Lydagene Muth (987-8287), Grace Sims (987-8680), Lois Snead (675-3532), Barbara Scherer (987-8069) or Daphne Hutchinson (937-5579). To raise money to cover printing costs, the Friends of Flossie plan a special showing later this summer of a video film taken in her garden. In addition, they’ll pass the hat among themselves and hope that other folks who want to help with the project will do the same. Those who would like to make a donation can mail it to the Flossie Williamson Fund, in care of Quita Parrish, Thornton River Farm, Viewtown, Va. 22746. Once printed, the cookbook will be available at the Rappahannock Library, Trinity Episcopal Church and other outlets in the county.

The contest, sponsored by the Rotary' Club, required students to write letters of 450-600 words to a recognized world leader on how world peace can best be achieved. David Norris of Haymarket won first place in the local contest as well as the district contest which included entries from the District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Anne Dunning of Boyce was second and Katherine Brooke Miller earns MD degree DaVid Brooke Miller of Washington was graduated May 18 from the School of Medicine of the University of Virginia. Dr. Miller is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School and was salutatorian of his class in 1974. He attended VPI, where he was named Phi Beta Kappa and was graduated magna cum laude. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Newbill Miller of Washington, he is married to the former Anne Holmes of Highland Springs, Va. Dr. Miller will serve his internship at Riverside Hospital in Newport News. Bentley of Front Royal third. Norris will now advance to the regional competition which includes all of the United States, Canada, and Bermuda.

Butler, Fisher top graduates at RCHS Rappahannock High School seniors Natalie Butler and Tara Fisher were named valedictorian and salutatorian of the Class of 1986, principal Bob Chappel announced Monday. Both young women have pursued academic and athletic interests during their five years at Rappahannock High School. Miss Butler worked on the high school yearbook all five years, was a member of the National Honor Society, the Varsity Club and the Merit Club. She was a member of the girls basketball team for five years and played on the volleyball team as a senior. She was also a member of the Future Business Leaders of America. Miss Fisher is also a member of the National Honor Society and the Varsity Club, as well as having been a cheerleader for three years. She also appeared in numerous musicals at the school, sang in the chorus and, this year, played piano for the school band. Miss Butler said that she feels that Rappahannock High School prepared her well to continue her education at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville. “I had some really good teachers, particularly, in math and languages. 1 feel like you get out what you put in (to your education).” Miss Fisher agreed. “There are not a lot of electives like you have at bigger schools, but the basics were taught well.” They both felt that despite the shortcomings inevitable at a smaller school, “there are a lot of good things about Rappahannock that people overlook...” Miss Butler said. Miss Fisher added that to her the small size is a good point: “we lack some things — but we have a more personal relationship with the teachers...you walk down the hall and you know everyone.” Miss Butler agreed with her assessment of the teachers. “They are willing to offer personal help...even after school. Some of the teachers we’ve known since eighth grade. We’ve also had very supportive parents.” Miss Fisher is planning to attend the University of Richmond where she will “probably” major in physical therapy. She would evenutally like to work with children, fulfilling an interest which led her to work as a volunteer at Sursum Corda. She also plans to continue singing and acting as well as taking dance lessons and resuming her piano studies. Miss Butler plans to major in pharmaceutical studies at U.Va. “I think we both plan to study in medicine because we want to help other people,” she added. Pursuing her interests in sports and the outdoors, Miss Butler hopes to find time to participate in intermural tennis, basketball and perhaps volleyball. Miss Butler is the daughter of Paul “Freddie” and Linda Butler, of Boston. Miss Fisher, who lives in Washington, is the daughter of Brad and Dawn Fisher. Both young women plan to spend the summer working and getting ready to go away to school.

Budget Continued from page 1 for jail operations, $10,000 would go for food and $10,000 for amortization of the local share of remodeling, the sheriff said. The State Compensation Board will pay a cook’s salary, he added. “Also, we’re pretty crowded. We need more space,” the sheriff continued. “We’ve got no place to interrogate a prisoner privately,” he said, noting that office space could be included as part of the kitchen expansion with the state paying half of construction costs. “It’s rediculous to put a kitchen in if we’re (providing meals) for $20,000,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller, pointing out that a cook’s salary and construction expenses would more than outweigh the $10,000 saved in actual food preparation. As for the need for office space, the sheriffs department now has “about three times the office space we used to use and not so long ago, either,” Mr. Miller said. Supervisor Charles Estes maintained that the kitchen offer is intended to help Rappahannock maintain prisoners in the local jail - where it costs $20 per day ~ rather than taking them into the state system. “It costs $47 a day in the state system...So that’s what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to cover themselves.” Fire and rescue In seeking $62,040 ~ almost triple this year’s appropriation of $21,565 — Fire and Rescue Association representative Donald Gore described the financial hurdles facing emergency service providers. Sixty-one percent of the county’s fire fighting equipment is over 20 years old, and with age comes higher maintenance costs, he said, noting that a new truck motor alone runs between $4,000 and $6,000. Aging buildings, some with leaking roofs, likewise need repairs, as do grounds, he said. “The state is putting tremendous requirements on us for dances and carnivals (the major fund raisers for the county’s fire and rescue companies)... Sperryville, for example, is going to have to spend $3,000 to $4,000 (to upgrade wiring at its carnival grounds).” And Mr. Gore’s list went on: Personnel protective equipment that does not meet OSHA standards, turn-out gear that does not meet fire protection standards. Fire and rescue personnel have heavier training requirements to meet, he reported. Emergency medical technicians must spend 110 hours in the classroom plus additional time in a hospital emergency room, then take a 50 hour refresher course every three years. To become shock trauma or cardiac certified, a volunteer needs 200 to 300 hours. Without financial support from local government, volunteers will have to devote time to fund raising that would be better spent in training, according to the Fire and Rescue Association spokesman. Mr. Gore pointed to a recent survey that showed 63 percent of Rap pahannock citizens polled would not mind higher taxes for improved fire and rescue service. “And government support won’t diminish our fund raising efforts,” he assured the supervisors, noting that the board’s appropriation would go towards paying insurance premiums and would still leave local companies with bills for repair and upgrading of equipment and facilities and other operating expenses. “We want it all but we’ll take what you can give us and we won’t park our equipment in front of the courthouse!” Mr. Gore said. “The volunteers in Rappahannock County probably provide better service than some surrounding counties get from paid fire and rescue workers,” he reminded the board members. Of the $40,475 increase requested, $38,200 will be used to pay the insurance premiums for Rappahannock’s five fire and rescue companies, he said. As an example of spiraling insurance costs, fire chief Paul Poling reported that Amissville had just received a proposal that would up its premiums from $6,280 to $14,520. “We’re spending too much of our time just trying to keep our heads above water,” said Flint Hill fire and rescue chief Frank Huff. “The time we spend raising money should be spent on training volunteers. Support from the supervisors would ease our burden.” Social services The budget for health and welfare shows a surge of approximately 55 percent over this year’s expenditures but of the $150,000 increase, the local share has risen only 1.7 percent, according to Sylvia Kreitler, welfare superintendent. “ Half the increase comes from inclusion of the fuel assistance program in the social services budget for the first time, she noted. The program — in place for eight years — is funded totally by the federal government with costs reimbursed to localities on a monthly basis, she explained. Rappahannock Library Library Board Chairman Bill Young described the county library as “under-staffed and under-budgeted.” Operation has been possible through time donated by volunteers and money raised through outside sources, both private and public, he said. “We’ve deferred and deferred PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN.

We’ve yet to provide access for the handicapped or office space.” In requesting an appropriation of $10,754 from the general fund — a 78 percent increase over the current year — Mr. Young said the money will be used to pay a full-time, certified librarian the same salary as a beginning teacher. “We’re asking for a catch-up and an updating, not an expansion,” Mr. Young assured the supervisors. Health Department Included in the $45,935 requested as the local share of the Health Department budget is an appropriation for a part-time dentist. Director John Einarson emphasized, however, that the county is not being requested to fund the position. “But in order to get the state match of over 69 percent, the money has to be placed in the budget request,” he told the supervisors. The money for the local share will actually come from the dental fund established and administered by Mary Botts Quaintance. By continuing the dental program on a part-time, 10 hours per week basis next year, the county will be able to retain the mobile dental unit and equipment, which belong to the state, Dr. Einarson explained. Community college In the only other presentation at Monday’s budget hearing, Robert Estabrook, Rappahannock’s representative on the Lord Fairfax Community College Board, pointed out that the $662 contribution requested from the county is more than matched by the $947 tuition scholarship presented each year to a Rappahannock student. In addition, he said, 18 Rappahannock teachers recentlly took a computer course offered here by the college. An average of 24 gifted students take summmer courses every year at Lord Fairfax while other high school students have earned college credit through auditing courses at the community college, Mr. Estabrook said. The supervisors took no action at Monday’s public hearing but set a budget work session for Wednesday, June 4. The budget is scheduled to be adopted at a special meeting on June 23. Board still wrestling with handicapped access “All county property - existing or new -- must be handicapped accessible” under federal regulations, accountant Wally Cox informed the supervisors on Monday. The requirement will be “policed through suits brought against the Board of Supervisors,” he added. Mr. Cox said his firm has prepared plans for 25 localities on making public buildings accessible to handicapped people. “You don’t have to rip up buildings to satisfy the law. There’s been very little capital outlay involved in the 25 plans we’ve done.” The issue arose with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke’s presentation of a proposed ordinance adopting the statewide building code’s standards on handicapped access as the county’s standards. These standards would apply when public buildings are constructed or structurally altered, Mr. Luke said, pointing out that recent “cosmetic changes” at the courthouse wouldn’t fall under the proposed provisions. In addition, he noted, the new ordinance would give the supervisors authority to waive the standards for handicapped access on a case-bycase basis. Supervisor Newbill Miller asked if the ordinance drafted by Mr. Luke will satisfy federal regulations. ■ Mr. Luke said he wasn’t sure what federal requirements entail but added that revenue sharing money is apparently tied to provision for handicapped access. Circuit Court Clerk Diane Bruce reported that federal authorities announced two years ago that revenue sharing would be forfeited if every public building for which revenue sharing has been expended isn’t handicapped accessible by October, 1986. She added that the county can’t say with surety that revenue sharing money has not been spent on the courthouse since in the first two or three years the program was in existence, Rappahannock deposited its revenue sharing in the general fund. This year, the county’s revenue sharing money totals $35,000, Mr. Cox noted. Ms. Bruce said that representatives from the Department of Rehabilitative Services have inspected WHY WAIT FOR WEEKS?

The rest are handicapped accessible.” Access to the courthouse for local government meetings in the upstairs courtroom could be satisfied with installation of video equipment, according to the clerk. “But that won’t work for court,” she added. For the judicial proceedings to be accessible to handicapped people, they must be able to be physically present in both the courtroom and the jury room, she explained, adding that it is not acceptable to carry a handicapped person up the stairs. To install an elevator would be “tremendously expensive,” said Mr. Luke, recalling an estimate of $60,000. And to remodel the dowmstairs so that a chairlift could be put in would be “tremendously difficult,” he added. “We ought to pursue this from a positive basis first,” said Supervisor Miller, noting that the situation had changed since Mr. Luke and Mrs. Bruce served on a renovation committee two years ago. “We have a person who has said he will sue us...What can we do to put us in compliance (with regulations for handicapped access) and how much will it cost?” According to.the architect who worked on the recent courthouse remodeling and drew blueprints for changes — which were not subsequently authorized by the supervisors — to provide handicapped access, a chairlift would cost $25,000 and the elevator approximately $f>0,000, said Ms. Bruce. “The positive approach is expensive.” Supervisor Miller indicated he will seek assistance from Jim Hobgoode, administrative assistant to Congressman French Slaughter, in getting information on a possible waiver from federal regulations on the grounds that the courthouse is an historic building. Returning to the handicapped accessibility standards, the board agreed to advertise the ordinance drafted by Mr. Luke for public hearing at its July meeting. Shelter Continued from page 1 from the state veterinarian for the leasing proposal. Supervisor Nelson Lane agreed to pick up and store at Eldon Farms Rappahannock’s prefabricated shelter building, apparently until the time a neW landfill is opened and the board can follow up on its stated intention to locate the pound there. With the county supplying the materials, the prefab building was constructed at no cost by students at Piedmont Vocational School in Culpeper. At Supervisor Gilkey’s suggestion, the board voted to send a resolution of thanks to the regional vocational technical school. Food Stomp* A WIC Chock* Wolcom* Quantity Right* Rasorvad.

Madison Rd., Orange • I)LN 1644 • 672-3700 — Deborah Flinchum for The Rappahannock News THE WEATHER was beautiful, the spirits were high, and the enthusiasm overflowed on Field Day held May 26 at Rappahannock County Elementary School. The field day began with the students saying the pledge of allegiance, after which they divided into groups to participate in a variety of activities. Students were given the opportunity to participate in softball throw, spoon potato races (pictured), three legged race, sack race, egg toss, hoo-lahoop race, the 50-yard dash or long jump. Volunteer parents used stopwatches to time the two top students from each heat. Classes in each grade level competed for the top position in the tug of war and a water relay. At the end of the day times were tallied and awards were given to the five top scoring students in each grade level for every event. Day in Horse Country benefits hospital The Virginia Federation of Republican Women has announced plans for A Day in Horse Country at Great Meadow, the home of the Virginia Gold Cup, on Saturday, June 21, from 11 to 5 p.m. The program will include equestrian events, hayrides, pony rides, blacksmithing, tailgating contests, a bluegrass band and a petting zoo. A charitable fundraiser benefiting Children’s Hospital National Medical Center, this project was chosen by the VFRW as part of the “Caring for America” program initiated by the National Federation of Republican Women. A share of the proceeds will go to Great Meadow, several non-profit local groups who are participating, and to the VFRW, whose members are planning, organizing and staffing the event. Children’s Hospital was selected as the beneficiary because of its fine record of pediatric health care and its policy that no child has ever been turned away because of a parent or guardian’s inability to pay for treatment. The “Caring for America” program is designed to promote and entourage private sector initiatives in all facets of community welfare. Republican women’s clubs in Virginia have sponsored fingerprinting of children, supported day care centers for children and adults, donated books to school and public libraries, and made contributions to many worthy causes. A Day in Horse Country will be the first major fund raiser the Virginia Federation has sponsored for a specific charitable cause. For further information and ticket reservations for A Day in Horse Country, call 703/378-7731 or 703/546-9049, or write A Day in Horse Country, Rt. 1, Upperville, Va. 22176.

Policy Continued from page 1 vertisement for the BZA’s hearing on the Chapman’s application had incorrectly identified the property as being in an agricultural district. He noted that the retreat center use proposed by the Chapmans does not fit into a catogory allowed by the zoning regulations and so had also been incorrectly advertised as “church school/retreat house.” Dr. Krebser said that, according to the county’s comprehensive plan, commercial establishments are to be located in village areas. “We certainly do not want to see a commercial establishment put in a conservation district.” (In their presentation to both the BZA and the Planning Commission, the Chapmans acknowledged that they would charge a fee to guests at the retreat house, putting the enterprise in a commercial category. They noted, however, that the fees would only cover operating expenses and would not produce a profit.) Mr. Stokes reported that at the two public hearings conducted by the BZA on the Chapman’s application, 100 percent of adjacent property owners were opposed with “sizeable opposition” coming as well from other county residents. If the Chapmans’ “commercial venture” is allowed in a conservation zone, he Maintained, it will set a precedent for allowing commercial development on all county land zoned conservation. Asked for legal counsel, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke declared he faced a conflict of interest with his parents neighboring landowners and the current owners of the property his clients and therefore could not offer advice on the Wreck Continued from page 1 Commission to close the narrow section of Route 17 in Fauquier County to truck traffic. Fire and rescue units from Front Royal, Chester Gap, Flint Hill and Washington responded to the scene, as well as several volunteers from the Sperryville company, who were also in attendance at the budget hearing. Assisting Trooper Hampton at the scene were Troopers Newlin and Slayton, as well as Sheriff Woodward and Deputies Streapy and Facchina. f 1 Be Resourceful. Recycle.

We have covered just ; about every type of person, except the prideful or rebelious. You see, ' Jesus did come to give us a more abundant life. It is satan that puts sickness on us. (read John 10:10) but only if we allow him to. (Luke 10:19) The Bible says in Ehp. 4:27, Neither give place to the devil." If you are full of pride and rebellion, Jesus cannot help you even if you are saved. You see, we are getting back to tradition or mans doctrin, not Jesus. He wants to minister to the whole person; spirit, soul and body. (I Thess. 5:23; ill John 2) Many people believe that Jesus can and will heal them of any sickness. And He will; but you must believe in and rely on His word completely. Some believe that Jesus gave us doctors and hospitals to get healed by, and He did. There is nothing wrong with going to the doctor, but remember Jesus orJdained them to help people get healed. Jesus even uses unsaved men to help His children. There are prideful people that think they have it all together", but they don’t, Jesus cannot work on their behalf, and some day, all that they "have together" will fall apart. Amen.

Only the Circuit Court can do that.” “You can’t tell the BZA what to do,” agreed Mr. Reynolds, but added that the supervisors could clarify their intent so as to resolve a question of interpretation of the ordinance’s provisions. At the BZA’s hearings, “the public appeared and voiced objections” to the permit sought by the Chapmans, said Mr. Stokes. “The BZA has not taken that into consideration,” he said, adding that instead, the zoning board members were trying to interpret the ordinance for guidance on what they should do. “So what you want us to say is that conservation zones are not intended for commercial use,” responded Supervisor J. Newbill Miller. “That was the intent when it was adopted,” said the Hampton District representative who was on the board in 1973 when the zoning ordinance was enacted. “I’ve had a tremendous number of communications opposed to this,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. “Sounds like it’s opening the door to commercial uses. I don’t think it’s proper to allow (the Chapmans’ retreat house).” Mr. Miller added that the intent of the ski area amendments adopted in 1978 was to “protect conservation areas from commercial activity.” “It’s a conservation district and that’s the way it should remain,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “Only the Board of Supervisors has the right to change zoning,” noted Supervisor Charles Estes, maintaining that issuing the special use permit for a commercial venture would effectively change the zoning on the property. “I don’t see how (the BZA members) decided they have the right to grant this permit.” While the zoning ordinance doesn’t specifically allow for bed and breakfast ventures, the BZA has likened that use to a tourist home and fit B&Bs under that category, Mr. Reynolds said. Now the BZA wants to “push (the retreat house) into a tourist home” and “stretch (the conservation district) to allow a commercial venture,” the attorney maintained. “I don’t think that’s the intent of the ordinance.” “The supervisors think the intent (of the zoning ordinance) is to protect the conservation district from commercial activity or severely limit commercial activity in such districts,” said Mr. Miller, asking the lawyer to write a resolution expressing those sentiments and bring it back to the board for adoption. “I’m not one to believe a whole lot in petitions but that’s a real broad section of people, a real broad section,” he noted, in reference to the signatures presented by A. Y. Stokes. When Mr. Reynolds returned, the board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution stating that the intent of the 1973 zoning ordinance and its later amendments was to protect areas within a conservation zone, “and which are not zoned for commercial uses, from commercial activity and commercial uses.” Supervisor Lane was authorized to deliver both the resolution and the petitions to the BZA at its meeting the following morning.

Veteran admirers of local entertainment remember such acts as the Extremes, performing a number unjustly ignored by Motown, “Peanut Butter, Jelly.” And who could forget David Clanagan’s impersonation of a young Elvis Presley. David will be back again this year, along with some of 1985’s other favorites, the Eclectics, the Lemon Sisters, and Angie Howard. New talent already recruited includes Tom Espinola, a veteran musician, and an Eastern dancer, “Athena,” from exotic Amissville.

Main St., Front Rovalgll 703-635-45471 BZA Continued from page 1 ogist that found the retreat house would have “little or no discernible impact on the underground water supply of the area.” In addition, Mr. Chapman reported that Bethany House, a Catholic retreat center in Huntly, has not affected nearby property values, according to its original operator, Jim Bayne. As to demand for a retreat center that would serve small groups of up to 20 overnight visitors on weekends only, Mr. Chapman reported that seven Episcopal churches the D.C. area have affirmed that they would regularly use the facility. Georgetown University theologian Jim Thomasson, a resident of the Town of Washington where he and his wife operate a craft shop and bed and brfeakfast business, reported that his market survey had found “a far greater demand” for retreat centers serving small groups than there are places to accomodate those groups. Attorney Frank Reynolds, representing A.Y. Stokes and other neighboring landowners, raised the question of whether the BZA could grant approval of the Chapmans’ request under the terms of the zoning ordinance. “You can do nothing, give no permit, except for what is specifically listed as permissable in the ordinance,” he said. A 1978 amendment to the zoning ordinance permits in a conservation zone only those uses allowed in other districts, with the exception of the uses specified in business districts, Mr. Reynolds maintained. A religious retreat house is not listed among the uses allowed in non-business districts and is listed as a permitted use in a business district, he said. Accordingly, “the zoning ordinance as written at this time prohibits the issuance of a permit for this use...The Chapmans have found the use they want (religious retreat) but the wrong piece of land,” the attorney said. By consensus, the BZA members disagreed with Mr. Reynolds’ interpretation, finding instead that the ordinance conferred on the zoning board the authority to allow by special permit in a conservation district any use permitted in all other zoning districts, pursuant to certain findings. Looking at the conservation district’s statement of intent, Mr. Reynolds argued that the thrust is to state that “conservation districts are not for commercial use. ” BZA member Peter Kramer conceded that retreat houses are not specifically listed as permitted but maintained that thp use proposed by the Chapmans combines three uses that are allowed in a conservation district - school, tourist home and church. Retreat houses can only be allowed in business districts, under the terms of the existing zoning ordinance, Mr. Reynolds countered. Building?

TRUST DEPARTMENT 364-1559 Marshall, Va. 22115 “Sometimes it creates a difficult situation, but that’s the way the ordinance reads...Mr. Chapman has merely run afoul of a strict zoning ordinance...He must find a piece of commercially zoned land or get a rezoning.” Chairman Bird contended that the ordinance does not prohibit commercial activities in a conservation zone and maintained that the BZA has authority to authorize by special use permit in a conservation district any land use allowed elsewhere in the ordinance. Conditions which must be satisfied before such a permit can be issued provide protection to the environmentally fragile conservation district, Mr. Monahan said. Chairman Bird pointed out that bed and breakfast operations are not specifically listed anywhere in the zoning ordinance but that such enterprises have been likened to tourist homes by the BZA and allowed accordingly. The same principle applies to the Chapmans’ proposed retreat house, he said. “I can hang my hat on tourist home,” agreed Mr. Kramer. BZA members Kramer, Bird and Monahan agreed that their site visit had shown nothing that would prohibit the proposed use, and Mr. Swindler sided with the majority in rejecting Mr. Reynolds’ interpretation prohibiting the BZA from allowing a retreat house in a conservation zone. But as to making the four findings necessary for granting a special use permit, the BZA members agreed that those couldn’t be considered without first attaching conditions to the application. And since Mr. Swindler had to leave for a doctor’s appointment in Washington, D.C., the board recessed until Tuesday, June 3. Reconvening six days hence, Chairman Bird noted that the BZA had received a resolution from the Board of Supervisors, affirming the non-commercial character of the county’s conservation district. “We on the BZA are a quasi-judicial body...appointed by the Circuit Court judge. Our function is to interpret and apply the zoning ordinance...We are answerable not to the Board of Supervisors but to the court,” he stated, describing the communication as “somewhat unusual” and confirming that neither the Chapmans nor the BZA members had been given notice of the supervisors’ intention to consider the issue. Polling the BZA members, the chairman determined that each still viewed commercial uses as being allowed in a conservation district. Mr. Bird also noted that under the proposed zoning ordinance (which the supervisors have said they intend to adopt in July) camps, recreation grounds, retreats, lodges and resorts are all allowed by special use permit in conservation districts. Gregory Monahan noted that he had received several telephone calls regarding the Chapmans’ permit application the previous evening. He said that he’d told the callers he couldn’t consider information given over the telephone. “The whole concept of a public hearing is to have everything that bears on the case come out in public,” Mr. Monahan said, adding that he’d advised the callers to either speak at the BZA meeting or submit letters. He then read letters in oppostion to the permit request from Grace Sims and Mitzie Young into the record. Noting the overwhelming opposition to the Chapmans’ proposal, Ronald Philiby questioned the BZA’s consideration of the permit application, even with conditions. He accused the BZA members of having “a predisposition to approve” the retreat house. “There shoiuld be no conditions. The conditions you impose are not going to satisfy anyone!” “There’s a massive understanding of the BZA’s role,” countered Mr. Monahan. “We took an oath to uphold the law. Our job is to act under this ordinance...We may not even like what we’re doing but it must be in accord with the law,” he emphasized. Mr. Philiby argued that the zoning ordinance is supposed to reflect the wishes of the county’s residents. “This ordinance doesn’t.” “If you find that to be the case, then change the damn thing!” countered Mr. Monahan. “The supervisors say no commercial activity in a conservation district, and yet they’re getting ready to adopt a new ordinance that allows it!” “We’re supposed to put blinders on...We’re not supposed to look at who the applicant is, what race they may be, what their heritage is, how much money they have,” said Mr. Kramer. The decisions reached by the BZA “are not something done by head count...They are supposed tq be based on the law,” he said. Mr. Kramer acknowledged that the BZA may have created the wrong impression by speaking of “conditions” on the Chapmans’ application. What is being done, he said, is describing the application, stating the facts, defining the application. Also clarifying a possibly erroneous impression, Supervisor Nelson Lane described the resolution sent to the BZA as “a guarded courtesy” at most “to give our interpretation of this loose wording.” He stressed that that the Board of Supervisors “respects its relationship with the BZA” and was in no way trying to influence the BZA’s decision.” Recalling testimony from two previous sessions, the BZA members proceeded to “describe the use that has been applied for,” as Mr. Kramer put it. After listing all of the conditions and stipulations proferred by the Chapmans and hearing another list of suggested restrictions from A.Y. Stokes, the BZA members moved on to the four findings where the split decision on two effectively ruled out issuance of the permit. “I very much appreciate the time and care given to our application by the Board of Zopning Appeals and the Planning Commission,” said Ted Chapman, gracious to the end, even after the vote to deny his application. “I’d like to make sure you understand your appeal provisions under the code,” Mr. Monahan noted. Mrs. Chapman , fighting back tears, nodded confirmation. “But as a practical matter, our contract is dead,” she concluded. SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!!
