Virginia 22747 A Phone 675-3349 25 cents Worker says dynamite left in area quarry By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer An accusation that unexploded dynamite lies abandoned in the old Flint Hill quarry has prompted the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to seek an investigation by demolitions experts. “I worked in that quarry for 17 years, and there’s dynamite left in the holes,” charged Ellis Burnett. “I was blowed up with it,” he said, showing the Supervisors his crippled hand, scarred lip and hearing aid. “I just thought you should know.” The suprise allegation came as the Supervisors were considering an application from a Haymarket builder to use the quarry as a debris landfill. At Monday’s public hearing on the application for a solid waste disposal system, Harry List, president of List Excavating in Gainesville, said he plans to haul six to nine loads a day to the old Flint Hill quarry for disposal. The loads, from construction sites in Fairfax and Prince William counties, would consist of “stumps and brush we can’t chip...no garbage,” Mr. List said. He added that the landfill would be for his own use. “It won’t be open to the public, unless it’s just to local people on weekends.” Dirt at the site would be used to cover the debris, with additional dirt cover hauled in if necessary, he told the board. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that a petition in favor of approval for the dump had been received; however, the speakers at Monday’s public hearing were opposed. “I have a big reservation over the possibility of the quarry qualifying at some future point in time as a sanitary landfill” without the site being subjected to the increasingly stringent state regulations governing waste disposal, said Phil Irwin. If the quarry is approved as a debris landfill, it should be with an “absolute restriction” against disposal of anything other than brush and debris, he said. Peggy Ralph asked if Mr. List had been denied a landfill permit in Fairfax and Prince William counties where the debris will originate. Mr. List said he had not applied for a dump permit in either of those jurisdictions. Traffic question Mrs. Ralph noted that the quarry is adjacent to the town limits of Flint Hill on Route 647, a narrow, curvy road with limited sight distance. Trucks hauling debris to a dump would pose a traffic hazard, she maintained. Continued on page 16 No dynamite, says Culpeper Stone r “That’s totally wrong !” said the president of Culpeper Stone, in response to allegations that unexploded dynamite was left in Flint Hill after quarrying operations ceased a decade or more ago. In a telephone interview Monday night, A. Gordon Willis, Jr. confirmed that Culpeper Stone had contracted with an explosives company to blast the rock at the Flint Hill quarry on Route 647. Experts from the explosives company “would load the holes with dynamite and then shoot them. They never left any dynamite without detonating it,” he maintained. “Totally wrong,” he repeated of Ellis Bennett’s contention that unexploded dy ' ~nrnamite was left at the quarry. Mr. Willis acknowledged that Mr. Bennett had worked for Culpeper Stone. “He operated a front end loader. He was a good employee.” However, he said that Mr. Bennett’s story of being injured in an explosion at the quarry was “totally news tp me.” According to Mr. Willis,’ there was never a dynamite accident at the Flint Hill quarry, which Culpeper Stone operated from the mid1960s to |tbout 1976, or at the company’s other three quarries. “Dynamite is something we’re very careful with,” he stressed. Company files wTere checked late Monday afternoon, Mr. Willis said. “We have no records of Mr. Bennett having his hand hurt,” he concluded. Baliles: ‘Winning race’ By DONALD DEL ROSSO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer For Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, the economic future of the commonwealth is now. Meeting Virginia’s growth needs over the “long haul” will require the state to move quickly to improve its transportation and education systems, Gov. Baliles told ArCom newspaper editors in an hour-long interview last Wednesday. “I think that if we do that ... people can write the history books 10, 15, 20 years from now and say those people at that point in history of the state decided to take charge of their own destiny. I really think we have that opportunity.” Based in Herndon, the communications company owns The Loudoun Times-Mirror, The Fauquier Democrat, The Reston Times, The Herndon Times, The Clarke Courier and The Rappahannock News. The interview covered a variety of subjects, including the environment, the Center for Innovative Technology, the challenge of being governor, the one-term governorship, the Baliles legacy, and the governor’s highly publicized disagreements with Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder about the $10.2 billion estimate for road needs and contact visits for prisoners. But the focus of last week’s interview was on the special General Assembly session on the governor’s massive highway construction program. The special session — the first since 1981 — will begin at noon on Sept. 15. A superior road system is central to Virginia’s continued development, Gov. Baliles told the sixmember editorial board. “Just as transportation has been a part of our past, it’s fundamental to our future. It is absolutely critical that we be able to move people and products efficiently 'and quickly. And if we can’t do that then we’re going to lose out to other states and other countries.” He added: “We’re very much involved in the race for the future, and I propose that we win it.” Since the Commission on Transportation in the 21st Century released its findings and recommendations on July 28, the controversial package of tax increases has been the topic of heated debate across Virginia. For nearly six weeks, highway officials, Senate and House committees and lawmakers have held hearings, briefings and informational meetings to explain the blue-ribbon commission’s report. The proposals, which call for substantial increases in sales, gasoline, vehicle titling taxes and limited use of “pledge” bonds, have generated criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike. Arundel Newspapers Staff photo/Matt Wascavage GOVERNOR GERALD L. BALILES: “We’re very much involved in the race for the future, and I propose that we win it.” When asked about the mixed re. action tQ,i’ae,.proposals. Gov. Babies replied: “Two w’eeks away from the special session and the topic is being increasingly discussed, criticized, debated. And my view about all of that is rather philosophical. Disagreement, debate are part of human nature. “It’s clearly an integral part of the legislative process, and I would be worried if they were’t talking because I wouldn’t know what their concerns were and how to deal with them.” The governor added he is satisfied with the commission’s work, given its diverse makeup — four former governors, senior lawmakers, businessmen and citizens. They “came together,” Gov. Baliles explained, “looked at the problem and confirmed our worst fears — that the traffic problems in this state were of such a proportion as to threaten to choke the commerce ot the commonwealth.” He noted the study was endorsed by "every single (commission) member, regardless of the'geographical region from which they came or their philosophical approach to politics and government.” While the governor admitted many have expressed “reservations” about the proposals, he stressed the package “represents the closest thing to a consensus that the legislature’s likely to experience.” To critics who contend the tax proposals are unfair, inadequate or excessive, Gov. Baliles responds: “It is a realistic approach to present day problems that will require revenue. We’re really not talking about taxes for the sake of taxes. We’re talking about revenues for roads. We can’t build roads with a wish.” He added that the recommendations “will be thoughtfully and perhaps heatedly debated, but I think the essential elements and the bottom line will be basically there when the legislature leaves.” Urban and suburban area lawmakers believe the tax measures won’t generate enough revenues to satisfy their road needs. Thus, Sen. Charles Waddell (Loudoun/Fairfax) probably will urge his colleagues to give localities the power to raise funds for road projects. When asked about Sen. Waddell’s proposals, the governor said: “Some of the local governments need and want the additional authority, and I would support it.” He was careful not to commit himself to any specific method that would give localities revenue-raising authority. Also on the topic of roads, the governor: • Hedged when questioned if the General Assembly would approve money during the special session to make the soon-to-be opened twolane Warrenton bypass a four-lane highway, as originally planned. “Well, let me see,” he answered. “The start up money we got in March has permitted us to start. Its completion will be dependent upon what happens under this highway package.” • Predicted the outerbeltway wouldn’t be built “any time soon.” Maryland, he emphasized, has yet to decide whether it would prefer an eastern or western route for the highway. Asked why the public wasn’t informed about the highway department’s work on preliminary planning for an outerbeltway proposal through Fauquier County, Gov. Baliles replied: “1 can’t tell you ... I believe the public hearing process gets factored in when you have something to go to a public hearing on. And you’ve got to produce that kind of information for public examination. When told Fauquier officials don’t want the outerbeltway in the county, the governor said: “l hear you and I’ll pass it along.” If he were a Fauquier resident, would he want the outerbeltway in the county? “I would be in favor of a bypass around Warrenton. I don’t know what you would call it. There are places in Fauquier I would not want a road.” • Doesn’t prefer the use of toll roads, “but they may be used in certain cases.” In other matters, Gov. Baliles: • Restated his commitment to protecting the environment as Virginia encounters unprecedented growth. To exercise greater control over environmental matters, the governor created a new cabinetlevel post — Secretary of Natural Resources. More and more money is being budgeted for environmental proContinued on page 15 BZA struggles with hardship cases By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals struggled with the definition of hardship last Wednesday before granting one variance to zoning regulations and persuading a second applicant to carry over his variance request until a meeting later this month. “If we grant a variance, it has to alleviate a clearly demonstrable hardship,” explained BZA member Gregory Monahan. “Is there any evidence that you haven’t brought forward yet?” he asked Kinsey Wharton, who was seeking a sideyard variance to build a carport onto his residence on Route 648 nearAmiss ville. “A carport is a convenience...If you don’t have a carport, you will continue to live there as you have for the last 14 years,” Mr. Monahan said. “We have to work with this law, interpret it, make sense out of it,” he continued, holding up Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance. “It’s not what we want to do or don’t want to u do.” The three BZA members present for Wednesday’s session — Mr. Monahan, acting chairman Sharon Luke and James Swindler - agreed that Mr. Wharton’s unusually narrow lot gave rise to the difficulty in meeting the 50 foot side setback. His house already intrudes on the setback distance; the carport would be even closer to the adjoining property line, no matter where it is attached to Mr. Whorton’s dwelling. In addition, they agreed that the variapcp would not violate the intent of the.'county’s zoning regulations. Zoning Administrator John McCarthy reported that the Planning Commissioners had unanimously recommended granting the variance. He noted that Mr. Wharton’s lot “couldn’t be approved today” but that his and other irregularly shaped lots had been okayed in the past “through disregard more than anything else.” Mr. Monahan, however, took some convincing on the hardship issue. “The kernel of this thing comes down to undue hardship,” he said. “That’s the hard one,” he added, referring to the three findings the BZA must make: that granting the variance will not contravene the intent of the zoning ordinance or adversely affect neighboring^ landowners and property values and that strict application of the ordinance will work an undue hardship on the applicant. “Every time we consider a variance application, it’s the same problem,” said Mrs. Luke. “What is really a hardship? To me, a hardship is undue or unreasonable if no harm is caused (by granting the variance). . . No matter where he puts the carport, he’ll need a variance (to the required setback from adjoining property lines) because of the narrowness of the lot. ” Mr. Whorton, an employee of the highway department, explained that he needs a carport in which to keep Continued on page 15. No money for Foothills By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Foothills Travel Association of Virginia, an organization of local businesses working to promote tourism in Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Fauquier counties, will get no financial support from the Rappahannock Supervisors. Lorraine Robson asked the board for a $400 contribution to help pay for brochures that the Association is having printed. The brochures, which feature a map showing tourist attractions, will be placed in the rest areas on interstate highways and mailed by the state in its packages of information on Virginia. “We’re not looking for population growth in Rappahannock County,” Mrs. Robson told the board. “We’re looking for tourists who will pass through, leave their dollars and continue on their merry way,” she said, adding that all county residents and businesses will benefit from the money tourists spend here. The brochure will tout Rappahannock and the surrounding counties as being “for all seasons” with something to offer year round. “We’re planning lots of things to bring tourists here in the winter months,” said Mrs. Robson, who operates a bed-andbreakfast business in Slate Mills and serves on the Association’s board. The contributions sought from local governments are based on the populations of the five counties, she said. Madison County’s supervisors have already given $700 and requests are currently being considered by boards in Fauquier and Orange, Mrs. Robson said, reporting that printing the brochures is expected to cost $6,500. She described the contributions from the local governments as “seed money.” “We expect membership fees to keep it going,” she said, reporting that the Association plans a membership drive in October. “I hope you’ll get behind us,” she told the Supervisors. “Without government’s cooperation, this is going to fizzle ... We need your spiritual and vocal cooperation in addition to the couple of dollars we’ve asked for. ” “Is this the role of government?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “This is a private venture. It ought to be funded privately,” he said, maintaining that a donation of tax dollars would be “precedent setting.” Area businesses were approached by the state to form this promotional group, “so it’s not strictly a private venture," Mrs. Robson countered. She pointed out that no individual businesses will be listed in the brochure; instead, Rappahannock’s towns will Continued on page 16 $500 okayed for handicapped access plans “Basically, we need money to spend.” That was the conclusion from John McCarthy in his report on the Handicap Access Committee’s progress towards eliminating barriers at the courthouse. The committee - Mr. McCarthy, Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey, E.P. Luke and Richard Abell - have talked with builders and architects, “but we have no money to do further research.” The architect who worked with Charlottesville and Albemarle County to bring public buildings there into compliance with handicapped access regulations charges $40 an hour for consulting services and $10 an hour for drafting plans, Mr. McCarthy reported. If Rappahannock does not remove handicapped access barriers at the courthouse - the only one of the county’s public buildings which doesn’t meet state and federal standards - the county stands to lose its federal revenue sharing funds. Acordingly, Mr. McCarthy told the Supervisors, he contacted Representative French Slaughter’s office regarding the future of the federal revenue sharing program and had been told if a bill to continue revenue sharing should pass the House and the Senate, the president has announced he will veto the measure. “In other words, w'e have a revenue sharing check of $8,000 coming on October 5 and that will be all -unless (revenue sharing) is extended next year.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noted that state law requires new construction to be accessible to handicapped people “but existing structures do not have to be changed.” "And under federal law. we have to comply and if we don’t, no revenue sharing?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “That’s the immediate penalty, but that’s not the only remedy,” answered Mr. McCarthy. “The justice Department may sue on the basis of discrimination.” Federal regulations state that other action may be taken against a municipality that fails to meet standards for handicapped access, Mr. Luke concurred. By consensus, the Supervisors agreed to solicit bids from architects for preliminary plans, with a ceiling of $500 for the work. Mr. Gilkey noted that the committee will meet with the architect selected to determine which access alternative - elevator, ramp or chair lift - to focus on. Mr. Abell denied access In a related matter, Mr. Gilkey, in his role as grievance compliance officer, has determined that Richard Abell was denied access to the board’s handicapped access hearing on July 8 “as the hearing was held in a non-handicapped-accessible facility.” Mr. Abell, who is conlined to a wheelchair by polio, filed a grievance at that public hearing in the upstairs courtroom.

Mary Botts Quaintance: A lifetime of service Bv THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer When friends gather this Saturday to honor Mary Botts Quaintance at the Elementary School, the crowd will be only a portion of the thousands of Rappahannock people whose lives she has touched in her teaching career of half a century. As a young teacher and later, as principal of the Rappahannock Elementary School, Mrs. Quaintance knows, by name and face, virtually all the county residents who passed through the school system between 1925 and 1976. And names and faces are not all that Mrs. Quaintance learned. She knew the children who came from troubled homes; the families that needed encouragement to educate their children at a time when their help was valuable on the farm; the young people who might break the cycle of poverty and ignorance if they could learn a useful skill; even the places that she might find a youngster playing hooky. “There were some children whose parents had to leave for work before the school bus came,” she remembered. “Those were the ones I learned to track down. One child, a Sperryville boy, used to hang out at the store when he skipped school. I’d just call the store and talk to him, ask him to come on to school. He always came.” Other times, Mrs. Quaintance sent the assistant superintendent or Wilson Atkins, the janitor, out in her car to pick up truant children. • “One time there were four Amissville boys, all friends, missing at once. I knew they must be together somewhere, probably at the house of the boy whose parents weren’t home. I sent out the assistant principal to get them. When he came in they were drinking beer, playing cards, AND smoking cigarettes,” she said. “He told me later that it took everything he had not to laugh. They’d been caught redhanded and they couldn’t think of which to hide first.” The personal approach characterized everything Mrs. Quaintance undertook. She’s responsible for the dental health program that has helped countless Rappahannock children over the years. “I had a car with a rumble seat,” she said. “And that rumble seat got lots of children to the dentist who wouldn’t have gone otherwise.” Her interest in dental health started when she was a beginning ► teacher, in 1930. “It was obvious to me that most of our rural children were healthy except for their teeth,” she said. “It was a shame to see a beautiful young girl or boy with rotten teeth.” At first Mrs. Quaintance took the children to dentists in Culpeper, dentists that she talked into donating their services. So well developed were her powers of persuasion that at one time there were three dentists who were available to fix the teeth of Rappahannock school children. By then, the young teacher was bringing them by bus instead of by rumble seat. As local dentists built up their practices, they stopped donating their time. But Mrs. Quaintance always had an angle. “Because Ruby Jenkins (who at that time worked in the Extension Office) had been of such assistance to a wealthy landowner, we were given a generous donation to carry on our work. With this money, we paid dentists just out of dental school to help our school children. Two of them, Drs. Ferlazzo and Aylor, settled in Culpeper and practice there now.” Later, a retired dentist joined the ranks of Mary Quaintance’s volunteers. He brought his own equipment, which he set up at the Washington High School. When he returned to active practice in Falls Church, he left his equipment behind and it found a home in Frances Thornton’s office at the health de partment. Finding volunteers and money to carry on the dental program was not difficult for someone of Mrs. Quaintance’s resourcefulness and with the help of influential friends such as Ruby Jenkins and Frances Thornton. Convincing the students and their parents was another matter. To draw attention to the importance of health, and to provide an incentive for children to get their teeth fixed, the school celebrated May Day, and each student who had participated in the dental program could also participate in May Day festivities. “We were able to do what we did because we knew the community,” she said. “In those days we were all so familiar with everyone that there was no need for guidance counselors.” And the volumes of paperwork necessary today were not needed then, she remembers. In fact, when Mrs. Quaintance became principal of the Elementary School in the 50’s, she taught part time, kept the books, and did her own typing. Another part-time teacher was also the librarian. “Luckily, the librarian, Lucia Kilby, was also a dietician,” Mrs. Quaintance said. “She made out the lunch menus.” “We just did things however we could,” she said. “And when I got Mary Edna, (Mary Edna Schaefer, former elementary school secretary) I felt like we could do anything. Mary Edna could accomplish in an hour what someone else might take all day to do.” Mrs. Quaintance said that she was blessed with excellent teachers as well as an excellent secretary. “I came to believe that good teachers are bom and that no amount of training can equal the instinct of a natural teacher,” she said. Mrs. Quaintance remembers integration of the school as a test of her administrative powers and the good will of the community. “I made sure that each student in the lower grades had both black and white teachers,” she said. “I believe this took away the fears and the prejudices that the students might have. And we were determined to avoid the problems that we had seen in Warren County,” she said. “Unlike Warren, we were a close-knit community. It’s much easier to sympathize with people you’ve known all your life.” Looking back, Mary Quaintance remembers a lifetime of hard work, but also a lot of fun. “When we were young, growing up here, we all had fun. My father (D. Lyle Miller of Gid Brown Hollow) taught us all to swim, play tennis and ride. We played outside, wore pants and rode like boys. I well remember racing horses with Anne Keyser. And as we became young ladies there were dances and parties every weekend. Often Jack Miller would organize the dances, getting a really good jazz band from Washington. We wore short dresses and high heels, bobbed our hair and danced the one-step, the two-step, the black bottom.” Mary Quaintance laughed. “There was a dance called the Toddle, and a truly horrible one called the Camel Walk, where you stuck your neck out like a camel. I think that when we didn’t have bands we played records on those old victrolas.” Before she met her husband, Raymond G. (Dike) Quaintance, Jr., Mary remembers going out with a young man who used to pick her up where she was first teaching, in Arlington, and take her to Front Royal for dances. “We’d dance until four, I’d get home about six, take a bath and go teach my classes,” she said. “Of course, I’d try to stand up all day so I wouldn’t get sleepy.” “Nobody worried about us being out dancing all night,” she said. “At every dance the wall was lined with chaperones. And, of course, the streets were perfectly safe.” NEW SERVICES BEING OFFERED AT The Mustard Seed * Bookshoppe -Special Order Service• Audio Visual Aids • Awards • Plaques • Trophies • Ribbons • Engraved Office Desk, Door, Wall Signs • Imprinting of Business Cards, Forms, Books, Bibles, Stationery, Etc. • Rubber Stamps • Wedding Invitations • Brochures • Post Cards • Arts & Crafts Supply. -IN STORE SERVICES • Christian Video Rental • Albums, Tapes • Church Supplies • Copy Transparencies • Clock Parts • Music Listening Center • Layaway • Gift Certificates.

C. The young women of Rappahannock had an active social life in the pre-war years. Dressed for an evening out are (1 to r ) Mrs. Quaintance, Virginia Miller Lindstrom, Dorothy Gore Estes, Helen Gore Benton, Cotton Miller, Millie Fletcher and Charlie Hudson. ‘ Mrs. Quaintance loved her work as a rural school teacher . . . and as an elementary school principal. After her marriage, the young teacher lived for a while with her inlaws, a situation that worked out very well. “My mother-in-law, Luke Pulliam Quaintance, was one of the most attractive and unusual women I have ever known. Everyone was crazy about her, including me. I don’t know how to describe her — she just had a twinkle. She had a great sense of humor and we had fun.” Like her mother-in law, Mary Botts Quaintance has a twinkle of her own. She’s still attractive and full of energy. It’s almost impossible to believe that she’s 80.‘ In fact, she finds it difficult to believe it herself. “I just forget,” she said. “I’ll think of that old person, or this old lady and I’ll forget I’m older than they are! In fact, I’m older than all the older people I look in on except for Mattie Ball Fletcher. I’m always on the go and I always will be, I guess. My friends joke that they’ll know when I die because my car will be parked here at home instead of running up and down the road.” Ed. note: The celebration in honor of Mary Botts Quaintance on her 80th birthday is Saturday, September 13 at tfe Rappahannock Elementai'y School.

V_____) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1986 Editorial A remarkable lady This Saturday Mary Botts Quaintance, with :assistance from a few of her friends, will celebrate her 80th birthday with a party at the Rappahannock Elementary School. It is indeed fitting that an open invitation was issued to the residents of Rappahannock to attend the celebration, since almost all the residents of the county have been touched by this remarkable woman during some point in their lives. In her more than half a century of service to the county and its schools, Mrs. Quaintance has been a part of some innovations which were, at the time, considered bold ideas indeed. The dental health program, which she was responsible for, is something which might be taken for granted now but was truly a novel concept at the time. And not only was her idea novel; so were her methods for encouraging her students to participate. Offering reticent children a ride in the rumble seat of her car as encouragement to visit the dentist, instituting the May Day celebration which had as a prerequisite for participation a visit to the dental clinic ~ these are but two examples of Mrs. Quaintance’s willingness to go far beyond what was expected of her as an educator. But more important than the vision of her ideas is What that concern expresses about Mrs. Quaintance: she CARED! -- and she continues to care, about her friends, about the county schools, about everyone in Rappahannock. As she herself said, “I’m always on the go and I always will be, I guess.” She may have retired in name, but Mrs. Quaintance continues to be every bit as active as she was during the many years she spent as a teacher and principal in Rappahannock County. It may be several days early, but -- “Happy Birthday, Mrs. Quaintance!” - and MANY happy Returns! jSolar energy: still shining ; Whatever happened to the solar $nergy craze? • It’s still around, like the sun itself, biding its time in anticipation of the next energy crunch. Meanwhile, technology refined in the 70s is beijig put to some new and creative uses. • Instead of harvesting solar energy, two researchers at the University of Virginia are investigating frays to dissipate it. The studies, funded by the Army, involve infrared signal suppression as a camouflage technique. The aim of the radiation screening concept is to prevent detection of objects by reducing fhe infrared energy they give off due fo the sun’s exposure. The military advantages are considerable. The same pair of engineers—J. Taylor Beard and F. Anthony Iafihetta _ have worked with representatives of Virginia’s tobacco industry to create environments that are hostile to the tobacco beetle. This bug can also devastate wheat, com, rice &nd other grains once they have been processed and stored. But low temperatures achieved through passive solar cooling have proven an effective alternative to combating the insect with chemical poisons. The concept is known as solar driven absorption refrigeration. - Dissipating instead of collecting. Pooling instead of heating. Dr. Beard sees these developments as a natural evolution of solar energy technology. He is confident that the economic climate will change and enthusiasm for solar energy will return, despite the absence of federal tax credits that encouraged exploration a decade ago. ; Not that interest has entirely disappeared. • Adjacent to the visitors’ center at the North Anna nuclear station of Virginia Power (formerly VEPCO) $ a 75 kilowatt photovoltaic energy generating facility. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity. A single silicon cell three inches in diameter can produce about half a watt of energy. The cells of the $1 million unit occupy two gcres of land, and the modest amount of electricity they produce is fed to the company power grid for THE TECHNICAL EYE distribution to customers. But the project is mainly for demonstration purposes and for gaining experience in operating such a system in the future. The cost of solar photovoltaic electricity is approximately 15 times that of conventional sources. But such systems are being used extensively in the southwestern states, where low humidity and lack of a cloud cover make the effort more economically feasible. Throughout Virginia, however, small scale solar devices introduced in the 70s are quite common and remain in use. They are found routinely in multi-unit residential areas, nursing homes and hospitals, apartment complexes, and various industries. Just check out the rooftops. The systems are either active or passive. Active systems consist of a solar collector, a storage facility, and a pump or fan to distribute the stored energy. They are generally used to heat hot water. Passive systems incorporate glass panels or windows with a southern exposure, admitting thermal energy much like a greenhouse and circulating it with the room air. Hybrid systems combine both active and passive features. Archimedes used solar energy to defend Syracuse against the Romans, setting the invading ships afire with a system of mirrors. Indians of the American southwest relied on passive solar designs in the construction of their cliff-dwellings. Today, satellites are powered by solar cells, and a solar-powered aircraft has flown the English Channel. With such history, solar technology is sure to continue. You can bet your tan on it. ■s Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Rappahannock Heritage CUMULUS CLOUDS RISING ABOVE Skyline Drive provide a dramatic backdrop for these grazing cattle in Gid Brown Hollow. ^-—* Letters to the editor Washington: tranquility To the editor: Please extend to the residents of the “First of the First” town of Washington, VA our thanks for the pleasant hours we spent getting to know part of your area, its history, and a few of your people. While driving into Washington two weeks ago, we were intrigued by the historical marker “First of the First” and stopped by to learn more and to inquire about the Inn whose praises have been sung far and wide among connoisseurs of fine dining. Our first approach, as is our habit upon entering an unfamiliar community, was to visit the local coffee shop and ask questions. After a piece of delicious pie and coffee at Brambles Cafe, we got directions to the Historical Society on Gay Street where we learned a little of the town’s past and purchased the Walking Tour pamphlet. Our time was short, so we made reservations at the Inn for the following week and.looked forward to our return. On Thursday we returned early enough (we thought) to do the walking tour before dinner. Because of the friendly conversations we had with people along the way, and a delightful visit to Ruby’s charming Museum, we could complete only part of the tour. Dinner at the Inn was one of the most exquisite mealtimes we have ever spent, even surpassing those in our beloved Vienna, Austria. The point of this letter is simply this: in your First of the First Washington, we, as visitors for a mere few hours, found at least two places of which your town should be extremely proud: Ruby’s Museum and the Inn. Their charm and professionalism enriched our lives greatly. We look forward to returning soon, completing our walking tour, revisiting the Museum and the Inn and perhaps finding some more gems. We hope your town will never lose the spirit of tranquil elegance it now has. DAVID & BEATRICE BRIGHT Manassas Letters to the editor on public issues are welcome.

Road maintenance wanted To the editor: As an individual with 100 percent support from every home owner (without state road maintenance) in Randle Ridge Subdivision I have, for just over a year, been trying to get state maintenance for our roads. In governor Baliles’ inaugural speech, be emphasized the positive uses of state government to upgrade education and to weed out inequities in public life. We in Randle Ridge for the past 25 years, and all other areas in the state, where roads are open to the public, but not state maintained, are most certainly victims of “inequity in public life.” I might also add, and “quite prolonged.” Up to this point I have not accepted defeat. So far, every avenue of persuit has resulted in negative progress, until last Friday. Friday, August 291 attended (at Germanna Community College) a briefing of the new state proposed road program. This covered findings and recommendations of the commission on transportation. The meeting was presided over by high ways and transportation commissioner, Ray D. Pethtel. At the end of the presentation a question and answer period was conducted. When our (Randle Ridge) problem was stated; paying tax for maintenance, then having to pay again to have our roads maintained, Ray D. Pethtel’s answer was: “We’ve been receiving an ever increasing number of complaints on the subject, and it is 4 an issue which we will have to address in the near future.” This answer, by Mr. Pethtel, as I see it, is a positive sign that this injustice may be corrected. Now it is up to us to let the commissioner know who we are, and how we feel about this discriminatory practice. Write now. Get your letter in the mail to the commissioner today. State the unfairness of our situation. Ask that some action be taken before the proposed new roads program is activated. The commissioner’s address is: Ray D. Pethtel Commissioner, State Highway & Transportation Board, Richmond, Virginia 23219. JUSTIN CAVEY Culpeper. Thanks to Rescue Squad To the editor: I would like to publicly thank Rick Johnson and the other members of the Sperryville Rescue Squad for the quick response when I was injured in a horse accident two weeks ago. They not only responded with haste, but the professional manner in which they treated me and transported me to Culpeper saved me undo suffering and possible greater injury. Thank you once again. Sperryville is very fortunate to have such a well trained team to call on when needed. DAVID B. CARTER Boston Session could end pay as you go roads By DONALD DEL ROSSO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Next week’s special General Assembly session could mean the end of the commonwealth’s age-old pay-as-you-go approach to funding its road construction needs. For the first time, Virginia will consider a proposal that would allow it to finance statewide highway building projects with bonds. On July 28, Gov. Baliles’ Commission on Transportation in the 21st Century recommended a package of tax increases and the use of revenue and “pledge” bonds to help fund $10.2 billion in road construction needs over the next decade. But many have doubts about the entire package and question whether the revenue and pledge bonds truly represent a departure from the pay-as-you-go method, which Gov. Harry F. Byrd spearheaded in the 1920s. Several Democratic and Republican lawmakers believe the use of pledge bonds would be consistent with pay-as-you go because they would be repaid with designated revenue sources, such as the gasoline tax. Thus, according to the proposal, the size of a bond would be tied directly to the amount of revenue generated by the gas tax, which the commission has recommended be increased from 15 to 19 cents a gallon. But Sen. Charles Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax) views the bond proposals differently. “It’s a break with pay-as-you-go to an extent but not as much as some would’ve liked.” He said the proposals “will allow us to get up-front money and pay it back. You may be paying with taxes collected, but it’s done with bonds. It’s not paying with money in the bank,” as the state has with the strict pay-as-you-go formula. The senator added: “That was pay-before-you-go, actually.” The “legacy” of Virginia’s pay-as-you-go approach to road construction originated in 1923 when voters opposed a $50 million bond referendum, Barry Lawrence and John Schofield state in the March/April issue of Virginia Review. “As a political philosophy,” the authors note in a six-page article, “pay as-you-go can be traced to the 1865 General Assembly.” Mr. Lawrence is assistant to the Prince William county executive and Mr. Schofield is the county’s deputy director of planning. In 1865, the General Assembly agreed to pay the prewar debt. Five years later, Virginia’s taxes were 60 percent higher than most Northern states, according to the authors. Virginia entered the post-Reconstruction period with a $45 million bond debt. “Over the next 80 years,” Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Schofield stated, “three prominent Vriginia Democratic leaders—John S. Barbour, Thomas S. Martin and Harry F. Byrd — were able to re-establish stability both in political philosophy and political reality.” Gov. Byrd “implemented the philosophy through organization” and at the same time helped advance the idea of “business progressivism” in Virginia. He defined the term as: “The need . . . not so much for new governmental ideas as for a better understanding and adaptation of the old fundamental ideas to new conditions.” Some critics might say that definition applies to the commission’s recommendations, which rely primarily on increasing existing taxes to cover transportation needs. The authors note that the turn of the century marked a turning point in Virginia’s view of its highway system. In 1906, for example, the Good Roads Association — a statewide citizens group — was set up, the first highway commissioner was appointed and counties were empowered to issue road construction bonds. _ By end of World War I roadbuilding in Virginia had become big business, according to Allen Moger in “Virginia: Bourbonism to Byrd, 1870-1925” (Charlottesville, 1968). “About 4,500 miles had been built with state aid, and the counties had issued $6,641,700 in road bonds.” Eighty years ago, the Good Roads Association made the same argument that Gov. Baliles does for superior roads. The authors note that the association “continued to press for road improvements as a means to further both education and economic opportunities.”

WILLIAM SETTLE Photo courtesy of Brian Tauss and DARRELL JENKINS A Northern adventure By BRIAN TAUSS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Four a.m. came early for two local teenagers and one adult looking for an adventure. On July 22, Darrell Jenkins of Culpeper County and William Settle of Rappahannock County started a two thousand mile journey which would take them into the wilderness of Ontario, Canada. The journey, an idea originating from Washington Baptist Church, located in Washington was designed to take interested teenagers up to the north country where they could experience the works of God through nature and broaden their lives through a wilderness adventure they would remember. The first day consisted of a fourteen hour drive which covered Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York, culminating in Seely’s Bay Ontario. Tired, hungry and eager, the three headed into the wilderness to catch dinner. Within minutes, (actually hours), Darrell landed a ten (actually five), pound bass which the three devoured in minutes (about one). Tents up, stomachs full, the three Virginians laid back watching the reflection of a full moon glistening over a northern lake. In the following days an Indian reservation was visited, (adorned with mounted bears, wolves and moose), old Fort Henry, (built in the 1800’s), and Canada’s Northland, a vast wilderness of forests, inter ARCHERY SEASONS OPENS Oct. 11 to Nov. 9 Camouflage Bear, Whitetail Compound Special $89.95 Bear, Whitetail II With Camouflage Compound Special $99.95 Bear-Hug Bow Quivers Special $9.00 ASSORTMENT OF BEAR ARROWS True Fliqhl Aluminum Arrows $1.89 Ea.

Of particular interest were the Canadians. With French-Canadian accents predominent, the three found it interesting communication. On one occasion at Fort Henry two young Canadian girls approached William and Darrell and, wouldn’t you know it, started talking in French. Virginians through and through the lads naturally agreed to what they were saying, whatever they said. Wide eyed, it was time to head north. Only by taking teenagers deep — DEEP into the Canadian wilderness does one discover they are alert, bright, dedicated and can’t read maps. Miles from the border of Quebec, a French-Canadian girl offered assistance at an out of the way station. Smiling when hearing where the three thought they were, she unfolded 150 miles of map showing the true locality. With the American spirit of “We can do it,” the three used their situation to an advantage and looked for wildlife. Photo courtesy of James F.

Va RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Rappahannock County 's Only Hometown Newspaper Washington, Va. 675-3338 Scriptures Selected by The American Bib e Society Really Winning... A university head football coach gathered his team around him before the game It's going to be a tough one today,'' he said as the men looked intently, readying themselves for the gridiron Then he made a statement that widened eyes and opened minds: The easiest thing today will be running into the end zone with the ball. But your hardest challenge will be getting up off the ground when they knock you down short of the goal line. Any boy can walk that ball into pay dirt; only THE MEN will get up. brush themselves off when they fail, and go at it again.'’ Five years of standing on the football sideline as team chaplain proved to me the wise coach's philosophy . The guys who made it on the gridiron were the ones who could get up time after time, play after play, and do their job all over again. The Apostle Paul never played football, but he was a great athlete in the service of his Lord. Said he: "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.. " (II Cor 4:8.9) Winning is not always possible, but winning the battle with yourself “to keep on keeping on" is victory in any stadium.

RICHARDSON Extension Agent You “brown bag” your lunch to work or school, pack elegant picnics in chic wicker baskets, and stuff enormous coolers with hot dogs and potato salad for family barbecues and football games. "No matter what kind of container you put your food in, or where you are planning to go, you should follow certain rules to guarantee that the food you take out is as fresh and safe as when you packed it. Food poisoning bacteria are tough to deal with because you normally can’t see, smell or taste them. Yet, if allowed to multiply in food, they can cause intestinal flu-like symptoms in most people, and more serious illness in very young children and the elderly. One vital rule to follow when picnicking, camping or just packing a lunch is to keep everything that touches food clean. This includes countertops, bowls, utensils and plates. Clean hands are important when working with food also, as they continually pick up bacteria and other germs. Another vital rule is to keep perishables cold. If you pack your lunch the night before, store it in the refrigerator. For picnics, keep ham, potato or macaroni salad, ham: burger, hot dogs, lunch meat, MYRTLE BEACH FREE Travel Guide to Motels, Villas, Golf, Restaurants, Amusements, Shopping Daily Rates from: TALL SPRING 2 Adults $13 $16 2 Adults fir 2 Children Under 18 Yrs. $17 $22 Golf (Rm fir Green Te£) $18 $28 Winter Rentals from $169 per month Write: MBAA, P.O.

Although mayonnaise-based salads should be kept on ice, the mayonnaise is not a food poisoning villain. Its high acid content actually slows bacterial growth. Lack of refrigeration.is always a problem when camping. Plan to use ice-requiring foods early on or replenish the supply of ice. Supplement with food that doesn’t need ice, such as canned meat and fish, canned soup and peanut butter. Remember to thoroughly cook meat and poultry whether on the campstove or campfire. Hamburger patties, pork chops and ribs should be cooked until all the pink is gone; poultry until there is no red in the joints. Fresh fish should be cooked till it “flakes” with a fork. If you like your steak rare or medium-rare, just remember that there is a chance that some food poisoning organisms can survive such short cooking times. If you are cooking outdoors after dark, remember that everything “looks” done in the dark. Check the meat under a bright light to make sure. --1 AMISSV1LLE BEAUTY BOUTIQUE Shampoo & Set reg. $8 Haircuts reg. $6.50 Perms reg. $25-35 NOW OFFERING 20% OFF with this coupon Offer expires Sept. 30 Unisex styling Precision cutting APPOINTMENTS or Walk-ins welcome 3 blocks east of Amissville Post Office offU.S. 211 703-937-5895 BURKE’S STORE «SS5.

*■ Wakeheld seniors make merit semis Four Wakefield School seniors have been named National Merit Semi-finalists for 1986-87. The four students winning this important national distinction are Sean Bennett of Boston (Va.), Stephen Butler of Marshall, Lisa Larimer of Front ; Royal and Hank Sohn of Springfield. In the fall of 1985, more than one l] million juniors in some 19,000 U.S. I • secondary schools entered this eomt' petition by taking the *" PSAT/NMSQT, the qualifying test for the Merit Program. The top -; scorers in every state, representing *.* about half of one percent of the state’s high school graduating class, are included in the nationwide semi: • finalist pool of 15,000 young men and y women who are being honored as semifinalists in the current Merit program. One of the Wakefield semifinalists, Sean Bennett, was the only student in the nation to achieve a perfect score on the test last fall. In addition to the four Semifinalists, six other Wakefield seniors have been named National Merit Commended Students for 1986. These students scored in the top two percent of graduating seniors in the country. Included in this category are Annie Dunning, Adrian Filipi, Ed McGushin, David Norris, Theo Larrieu, and Brad Pendergraph. The ten seniors receiving Na- I tional Merit honors for 1986 constitute over one-third of Wakefield’s senior class. New Greek at Wakefield After having offered courses in Classical or Attic Greek for the past seven years, Wakefield School’s Department of Classical Languages has decided to switch to Homeric Greek, an earlier dialect derived from the works of the poet Homer. The decision to center all introductory Greek around Homer was based on the desire to facilitate the mastery of the language by simplifying the presentation of grammar and vocabulary so that students may quickly acquire the satisfaction of reading with understanding substantial portions of the Iliad and Odyssey in Greek. According to Mrs. Kay Larrieu, department head. Homeric Greek is easier as well as more appealing than Attic Greek. Furthermore, she asserts that the Homeric poems have a greater efficacy for bringing home to the growing mind the real nature and vital worth of great literature. Homer’s work is, she says, the basis of all later classical literature and the most universally admired of the world’s poetry. His stories, full of adventure, heroism, pathos, and all the ways of men, have delighted readers of all ages | and times. The new Greek course will be taught by Patrick Duffy, who has just completed his Ph.D. in Homeric Greek. (Owing to interest expressed in the course, there will be a limited number of openings for adults in the class.) In explaining the place of Greek in the school’s curriculum, Wakefield Headmaster William Lynn pointed out that the study of that ancient language provides not only mental discipline and grammatical training, but also brings literary, humanistic, cultural awakening and development. It can, he said, exert a uniquely invigorating influence on the mental and cultural formation of the youthful mind, stirring into activity and growth its latent capacities by the firsthand contact with the profoundly human qualities of the Greeks’ insight into the timeless aspects of the world of man, nature, and thought.

Va 361-7162 ’I Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News DAVID PULLEN (left) talks with teacher Scott Currie, recently returned from a year’s stay in England with a teacher exchange program. Teacher returns from exchange By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Scott Currie has returned to his industrial arts teaching position at Rappahannock County High School after spending a year in a teacher exchange program in England. There were some notable similarities and differences between the schools and students, Mr. Currie said. He proceeded to explain. “Some of the differences and similarities are very hard to explain. There are similar teaching techniques. I think I taught very “American.” I have a very relaxed atmosphere in my classes but at the same time the kids know the rules so that there’s not a lot of stepping out of line. “The kids there are very polite. If they didn’t understand you they wouldn’t question you. So after about a month I found out that there were a lot of things they didn’t understand (the lingo I was using). When I first came in I said we’ll take roll now. Evidentally that’s a military term from the states that they didn’t use so I had to change to Twe’ll take the register’ or Tattendance.’ Just little things that were common mistakes.” “I taught the same thing there as I do here. However, they’re in the midst of changing from very traditional woodworking, metalworking, and drawing to design in wood and metal working which involves more drawing than actual work. So the design end of it was new to me. It was the first year for all the kids to have so much technique in drawing, too. “The students started the school in year one. Their age was eleven. That’s where I picked them up. They r go to year five which is their final year when they are turning sixteen. They do their exam at age sixteen. Depending on how they do on their exam they may go to what is equivalent to our community college and pick up either better exam results or do further study for their second exam which is called their TA’ level or advanced level. Their advanced level results decide whether they’re going to be accepted into a four year college or a four year Polytech or a University. “That’s where there’s a big difference in our educational system. Their universities are far above university studies here. The studies that they do in the four years are closer to the studies that we do here to receive a master’s degree. “Only about twenty percent take the sixteen year exam which is called the TO’ level exam. There is a lesser exam and those exams are for the lesser able. In the sixties and seventies those kids went out and got a job. But now they can’t get jobs so they go on the “dole.” The “dole” is unemployment. To gain unemployment in England you do not have to work ever. The kids see two choices - either collect “dole” or go to college. However, they’re trying to reform all of that but it’s just very slow in occuring. “The kids specialize even at year three which is at 13 or 14 years old. They are suddenly starting to track toward different subjects. They are being asked what their career decisions are at the age of 13. I found that to be very difficult.” “I was also a homeroom teacher. There is another role of a homeroom teacher there. They use the pasto rial system of discipline. This means that problems are handled by first the homeroom teacher. If it can’t be handled by him then it went to the head of that year, then to the deputy head, then to the head. They’re hoping that you’ll get to know the same student year after year and you’ll be able to deal with it at the lower levels. “Also, as a homeroom teacher, because of the pastorial system, I had to deal with the discipline in that particular room. I had to write an evaluation of how I felt a problem student was progressing for that year. I had one period a week where I would teach the homeroom students about learning skills, how to take notes, how to get along better with their friends, parent/child relationships, or how to select careers. “At age 13 a lot of them are undecided about their careers. A lot of that has to do with the fact of second and third generation unemployment. “The area that I taught in is a depressed area for work. It was the hub of the Industrial Revolution with steel, coal, and limestone being the three main ingredients. Up until the 50’s these people were making more than people working in London. But because of the recession and less need for so much steel a lot of the places closed down. So there’s a lot of unemployment in Birmingham, the second largest city in England. It has over two million people. “They were good kids. They were similar to Rappahannock kids in the respect that they were well disciplined and respectful.

Read QNje £appafjannocfei*etos for local news Real Estate Eileen M. Day realtor g«,~« MORTGAGES CAN HELP Mortgages are the most common way to finance the purchase of a home. Using mortgage financing can mean the difference in owner equity in a home and owning nothing but rent receipts. People often refer to “paying the mortgage”, but actually it isn’t the mortgage that is being paid, but rather the promissory note which is secured by the mortgage. In other words, when you give the lender a mortgage you are using your real estate as collateral to guarantee that you will repay the loan as promised. By the use of mortgage financing many people who would not otherwise be able to afford to purchase their own home may become proud homeowners. Also with mortgage financing you have a deed — in your name — to the property; it belongs to you and no one else. In addition, the interest you pay is tax deductible. Rent payments aren’t. Real estate professionals are experts in helping to arrange mortgage financing for prospective homeowners.

Fiber plus two at Middle Street Gallery „ By ANN BROWN Rappuiaiinock New» Contributinc Writer The Middle Street Gallery has mounted a beautiful and totally engaging exhibition. The rooms of the gallery have been transformed with a richness of shapes, textures and colors that is breathtaking. This show joins a national trend where craftspeople step, into the expressive, surrealistic and imaginative realm of fine arts with exquisite results. There is also a shared sensibility of experimentation, hues and materials among the participants that results in a strong, cohesive unity often missing in group shows. The “fibers” include reeds, vines, handmade paper, felt, lace and found material. Each artist makes a unique contribution to the show. Nina Moore’s free-form paper mobiles, wall pieces and cards seem to invent themselves in oranges, pinks, reds, greens and blues flecked with ire-, descence. Mary Morris shapes baskets as if they were pots in lovely muted shades. The standard function of the basket has been disrupted by Cathy Kiley as she flattens and twists the ordinary round form. She weaves feathers, flowers, baubles and memories into a variety of stunning color combinations and shapes. One of Janet Kerig’s evocative pieces is a surrealist transformation School night for scouting Boys and their parents are invited to come to Rappahannock County Elementary School September 18th at 7:30 p.m. During this meeting, the- parents and boys will learn about their local Cub Scout Pack and have an opportunity to register with that Pack.. A boy can join Tiger Cubs if he is in the first grade. The Tiger Cub program is for a boy and one adult member of his family. The Cub Scout program is for boys in the second through fifth grades and not yet 11 years old. School Night is a program pro-, vided by the Shenrapawa District of the Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. The Shenrapawa. District provides a Scouting experience for youth in Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Page and Warren Counties. The Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America is a partici: pating agency of the WinchesterFrederick and Clarke County United Fund and the Front RoyalWarren County United Way. “Our ad is the first thing that people look for in the Rappahannock News on Thursday morning to see what is on special for that week. We get great response from our advertising in the Rappahannock News.” Jean & Wilson Burke Burke’s Store Woodville of the reed basket. Many- of us have had the experience of seeing a twisted branch while walking in the woods and not knowing if it’s a snake or a honeysuckle vine. Ms. Kerig played on this uncertainty by creating a dream object — rubber woven into a traditionally shaped basket. Diane Waldron’s “Sea Witch” has octopus-like tendrils spilling from a hat-shaped leather point of focus. It., is dramatic in scale, occupying the hall space and ebbing into the next' room. Joel Boyer’s baskets and wisks have the presence of objects in a Natural History Museum, There is an ancient, religious weight to the solidly crafted objects that feel as if silence is embedded in them. As always, Jeanne Drevas’ creations are daring and powerful. One piece is outstanding for a lyrical quality. “The Eye of the Storm,” with its molded paper structure of turquoise, delicate purple reeds, • thread, foil and glass evokes both a sea creature and the sea itself. Time is preserved in different forms and materials in Laurie Marshall’s box construction, “Portrait of a Childhood.” She uses old lace, a pocket watch, an anonymous, tintype baby picture, tiny molded eggs, images of mountains, dinosaurs that spin the past, the beginnings, the eternal, and the new into a frozen moment. Rappahannock County is fortunate to have a display by talented designer Sam Cliffton, whose solararchitectural ideas may be seen in houses throughout the area. His fab Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hattfcr THESE MOBILES BY SAM Cliffton are among the pieces in the “Fibre Arts’’ exhibition now showing at the Middle Street Gallery. ric paintings and aerial sculptures augment the rest of the show. The paintings are called “grids” and are reminiscent of richly colored light coming through windows. The fact that Mr. Cliffton has been working in stained glass design seems to spill over in these pieces. He uses the ac-' cidents of color, texture and value that occur in his method of dying fabric with a great deal of knowl edge. His paintings are a pleasure to the eye. Mr. Cliffton’s aerial sculptures are engineering and aesthetic wonders. They occupy space beautifully. Their components shoot around each other and change completely according to the angle of viewing. The premiere exhibition is acrylics by Steve Griffin, who has been painting for only two years, shows someone who has a good eye for. translating what he sees in photographs into paint. He chooses images of the primitive, natural and exotic that also contribute to the spirit of “Fiber Plus Two. ” Middle Street Gallery’s current exhibition is a showcase for the transformative vision shared by artists working in this region of the Blue Ridge. Currie Continued from page 10 “On the first day of school I didn’t realize that they were supposed to stand behind their chairs waiting for you to tell them to sit down. I first thought the door was locked because they were all standing on the side waiting for me to invite them to come in and sit down. “They all wear uniforms. They had to wear the school tie and a jumper and dark socks. The justification for the uniforms is that no one stands out. They’re really class conscious. The students didn’t seem to mind wearing them. “A number of teachers there told me that this was probably the worst possible year for me to do the exchange because the teachers were on strike there. That-meant that they work to their contract and do no extra curricular activity. So I didn’t see any extra curricular activities. “They don’t have substitutes as we have substitutes. If you have a free period and for example John in biology is out that day you’re expected to cover that spot'. If there is a long term absence they’ll ask some one to come in. If they could not cover a class, that class was sent home. “Everyone walks to school. At lunchtime there were no hot lunches. Kids had to be off of the school site during lunchtime and then they’d come back on. “I very seldom had a parental complaint. One reason for that was we didn’t give grades all year because of the strike. Even under normal circumstances no one fails. There is no competition in the school. What they strive for is to be able to take the TO’ level exam and it is very hard. Even if you have five TO’ levels it will still be very difficult to find a job in that area. You’d have to relocate. “There’s a very different population of people there. There are English, very few Irish, some Welsh, but the biggest minority are the Indians (many are Pakistanees). These are people from India who were asked back in the 50’s to do the menial jobs that the English didn’t Want to do. We had probably about twenty percent at our school. “Teachers are in a faculty here but there we were the staff. They live much closer together so there are more things done together. The staff was very close. “The only reason a teacher would leave to go to another school would be for promotion. They are on a tier system, like we are here with the years experience being steps but there is a 1, 2, 3 and 4 scale as well. The higher the scale the higher the salary for each year. You get so many scale points for extra responsibilities you have. For instance, a scale one teacher who does various duties may move up to scale two. The only way you’re going to get promoted is by assuming more responsibilities to advance up the scale ladder. Some people realize that the department head is never going to leave so they’re going to be stuck there at that scale or move to another school. (All 105 burroughs in England have the same pay scale). “I could never live in England. The advancement capabilities are very limited and cloudy days get to you after awhile. We only had three weeks of weather over 70 degrees. It just rains too much.” Mr. Currie concluded that he enjoyed having the opportunity to live, work, and travel in England for the year but “there’s no place like home.” J WERE HERE ' BLUE RIDG® *‘w == TELEPHONE THE LONG DISTANCE ADVANTAGE Would you like to save 20% or MORE, on your long distance telephone usage and equipment costs?

Cross country season begins The Rappahannock County High School cross country team has returned in force this season. Seven of the top eight runners from last season are back on the trails this fall. Seniors Marley Hay, Jonathan Watson, John Dodson and Neil Burke, the top four team members last year, appear ready to repeat their ranking this season, according to cross country coach Ann Spieker. Rodney Grimsley, Tom Taylor, Tony Clark, Dan Herman and Greg Daczewitz are also showing signs indicating an excellent year may be ahead for them, she said. Looking to earn a varsity letter this year are Jay Burke, Wesley Jenkins, Chris Moyles and Roger Huff. Three eighth graders are also running for the Panthers this season. Chris Berta, Tony Atkins and Mathew Eidson all show excellent talent for the future. This year, what may help the team more than anything else is the tough new course, Coach Spieker said. “Thanks to Clifford Miller and Thomas Jenkins in Sperryville the team has a course that goes up some steep hills to challenge the best of runners.” The runners’ times will probably be somewhat slower this year due to the toughness of the terrain, Ms. Spieker added. Girls’ cross country “We’re going to wait and see what the girls will do this season,” Coach Spieker replied when asked about the Lady Panther cross country team. “They are running steadier and stronger than ever before,” she added. Seniors Bonnie Grimsley and Denice Eidson lead the team with their experience. Kathy Dodson, a sophomore, is also running well again this year, perhaps hoping for a repeat of last season. Annette Mueler from Switzerland is a strong runner and should add talent and depth to the team, Ms. Spieker reported. She added that “although Amy Bartlett is a novice to running, her level of endurance has increased these last two weeks.” When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility: saving thousands of lives.

North Broad Street, Luray, Virginia Phone 743*5128 Dealer No. 195 Baliles Continued from page 1 grams, he said, noting that in its 1986 session the General Assembly created Virginia’s first Department of Waste Management. • Endorsed the concept of elementary school guidance counselors. Gov. Baliles said he understands the financial difficulty localities have in meeting state mandated learning standards. “I recognize that, in some areas, the money will never be enough. Money can always be spent for additional programs, levels of instruction that can be included.” He said: “I have set a goal that Virginia should aspire to be in the top 10 school systems in the country. It’s a goal that may take us a little while to achieve; it may take us some money, but I’m committed to the goal.” Money alone won’t be enough to address the state’s educational deficiencies, he said. “New ideas” also will be required. • Supported the efforts of the Loudoun-based Center for Innovative Technology. “I think it will work,” he said. “It is an example of what we can expect in the future where public and private interests come together to promote new forms of economic activity. “Back in April, I stated that I thought CIT had not marketed its success very well. . . They ought to come out of the closet and tell their story and let the public see what they have to offer. It is a good story.” • Preferred the concept of a oneterm six-year governorship. Virginia governors can’t succeed themselves. Of the four-year term limitation, Gov. Baliles said: “There is a lot of latitude, freedom to move. to think and to act that comes with knowing that you have fixed time period in which to make your mark.” “And you do it without having to worry about the next election., That’s a remarkable feeling.” For those reasons, he said he believes it would be ideal to combine the one-term limitation and six-year term concepts. • Asserted he would like to be remembered as a “governor who planned for the future and helped the commonwealth get there.” • Said he wasn’t disturbed that Lt. Gov. Wilder publicly disagreed with him about the contact visits for prisoners and estimated cost of the roadbuilding program. Gov. Baliles supports contact visits; Lt. Gov. Wilder doesn’t. The transportation commission estimates the roadbuilding program will cost $10.2 billion over the next decade. The lieutenant governor believes it will be closer to $13 billion because the commission neglected to account for inflation. Of the disagreements, the governor said: “You wouldn’t expect total harmony among anybody, including family members. So I’m not surprised.” Asked if the lieutenant governor’s comments were politically motivated with an eye toward the governorship, Gov. Baliles replied: “I don’t know. I haven’t asked him.” But he did acknowledge Virginia is ready to elect a black or a woman governor. • Said he enjoyed most aspects of the office. “It’s intellectually challenging to deal with a variety of issues on a daily basis that you know will affect people in the way they live. That’s the best part. “The worst part is there’s not enough time in the day.” ' BZA Continued from page 1 his vehicle protected from the weather and available at all times for use. “They call me to work and they expect me to get there as soon as possible,” he said, adding that he repairs “heavy equipment broken down on the highways, from Luray Mountain to Goldvein.” The BZA members voted unanimously to grant the variance with the condition that construction be limited to the carport. Neighboring landowner Levi Atkins had registered the only objection to Mr. Whorton’s request. In a letter to the BZA, Mr. Atkins asked that the variance be denied since Mr. Whorton’s house already violated setback regulations. He also expressed concern that the carport would be turned into living space. “That’s not a legitimate concern,” said Mr. McCarthy. Before the carport could be remodeled, Mr. Whorton would have to obtain a building permit and another variance, the zoning administrator noted. Decision deferred Anticipating a less than unanimous endorsement for his variance request, Languin Barron acceded to a suggestion for postponement until the BZA’s next meeting when all five members are expected to be present. “There are only three of us here. If one of us can’t make the findings (necessary for granting a variance), you’re shot down,” Mr. Monahan noted. “I’m not telling you how I’m going to vote, but it may be in your best interests to defer a decision.” “I guess I’ll be back here September 24,” Mr. Barron replied. “I’m glad we didn’t plan to build this addition until next spring!” Mr. Barron is seeking a setback variance for an addition to his earth berm solar residence on Route 645 near Rappahannock Lakes. The house is built into a hillside and sited 15 degrees of due south on the highest part of the 5.88 acre lot to achieve maximum efficiency from solar collectors. The structure now meets the 50 foot sideyard setback distance but the addition would be within 30 feet of the adjoining property line. The owner of the adjoining tract, a 96 acre parcel with no build ings, noted in a letter to the BZA that he had “no problem” with Mr. Barron’s plans. Again, Mr. Monahan had difficulty in finding hardship. He pointed out that Mr. Barron could put the addition on another part of the house by building on fill dirt or moving water and utility lines. “In this case, I think (the request) does conflict with the spirit of the ordinance...We’re busting setback regulations when I think there are other ways you can do it,” he told Mr. Barron. But to locate the addition anywhere else would require “a great deal of work,” Mr. Barron countered, noting that a drainfield might have to be moved, stairs added and a 12-inch wall broken out. “What you’re telling me is hardship,” Mr. Monahan answered. “In terms of expense,” Mr. Barron said. He added that the adjoining landowner had declined to sell even the tiny piece of land that would allow compliance with setback regulations, an alternative suggested by the Planning Commission. “This is one more step toward allowing people to get close to property lines when the ordinance clearly states you shouldn’t do that,” Mr. Monahan said. With the carport, Mr. Whorton had no options; wherever he built it, the carport would intrude on the required setback distance. “Here, you have options - they’re not pleasant options and they are options which impose a hardship, but they are there,” he told Mr. Barron. “Looking at the precedent, if we allow this one, where do we go next?” Mr. Swindler seemed inclined to grant Mr. Barron’s variance, citing the money already spent on design and the innovative technology involved. “He built a solar home to conserve energy we may run out of someday...This is certainly different from anything we’ve had since I’ve been on the board.” Mrs. Luke likewise appeared to favor approving the variance, noting that no harm would ensue and that the solar, earth berm design had initially required that the house be located close to the adjoining property line. But apparently counting Mr. Monahan as a “no” vote, Mr. Barron agreed to postpone a decision on his variance application until the full board is present.

Dynamite Continued from page 1 “Who from the county is going to monitor this?” she asked. “How are we going to know what’s being put in there?” Identifying himself as the landowner nearest the proposed dump site, Henry Campbell told the Supervisors that he would be looking after the operation on weekends. He noted that Mr. List will be hauling only 8-9 loads a day. “More trucks than that were going in there when it was used as a quarry.” “Debris landfills are a growing source of controversy throughout the region,” said Robert Dennis, Piedmont Environmental Council president who lives near Flint Hill. He noted the tremendous opposition in neighboring Culpeper County last month to a proposal for a landfill there to handle construction debris from rapidly developing jurisdictions to the north. After listening to comments at a standing-room-only public hearing, the Culpeper Planning Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Supervisors deny the rezoning required for the debris landfill, Mr. Dennis reported. Prince William, Fairfax and Loudoun, counties experiencing tremendous amounts of construction, all require that debris be disposed of in public landfills where it can be properly monitored, he told the Rappahannock Supervisors. “It’s cheaper (for contractors) to carry the debris long distances than to pay the fees charged for disposal in a public landfill.” He questioned the advisability of using an old quarry for any type of disposal. “It’s difficult to make secure a site which has been quarried,” he said.

He suggested that the Supervisors contact the Virginia Department of Waste Management regarding new regulations which would apply to privately owned landfills. At its inaugural meeting in late July, that department’s board approved emergency regulations which could cut the number of Virginia’s private landfills by more than half, according to Mr. Dennis. The new rules, which will take effect after approval by the governor, require dump owners to prove they have enough money to close the facilities after dumping operations cease. In many cases, owners will also be required to obtain liability insurance to pay for cleanup of pollution, Mr. Dennis noted. Monitoring question The question of inspection raised by Mrs. Ralph is very important, PEC’s president continued. The new Department of Waste Management, created July 1, lacks personnel to monitor private landfills, such as the proposed Flint Hill operation, he said. “Other things do creep into the waste stream besides stumps.” In addition, Mr. Dennis reported, debris has been construed in other instances to mean materials from demolished buildings, which might include asbestos board and other potential pollution hazards. “It could endanger the loLISTINGS NEEDED Listings needed immediately for fall market.

Should the Supervisors give their blessing to the landfill, he recommended that they ask for bonding to ensure the dump is closed properly and liability insurance “to cover what might happen before it’s closed ... If a quarry filled with brush and stumps caught on fire, it would be expensive to control.” Zoning question Mr. List told the board that he intends to purchase just 25 acres which will include the entire quarry site, from the tract owned by W.A. Gentry. Supervisor Charles Estes, recalling a previous subdivision proposal involving the same piece of property, questioned whether the land could be divided. Division would leave an 80 acre parcel without road frontage, he noted. After Mr. Bennett dropped his dynamite revelation, he told the Supervisors that a spring also originates in the lower end of the quarry. But it was the dynamite that brought a response. “Are you saying that there’s unexploded dynamite in the quarry?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “Yes, sir,” the elderly Flint Hill resident replied. “Do you have any idea how much?” the Hampton District Supervisor questioned. “I don’t know -- some went off, some didn’t,” Mr. Bennett said. “Anybody who wants to look for the dynamite, I’ll be glad to show LINE-UP WITH LYNE WHAT A BUY! 36 1/3 acres with two bold flowing streams, blacktop frontage, about 6 acres cleared, wooded mountain top affording (excellent homesite AND potential 360 degree view with minimum effort.

With the quarry closed at least 10 years, “it should be up to Culpeper Stone (which rented the site and operated the quarry) to get it out,” Mr. Campbell continued. “But I don’t see how dynamite that’s been lying there 10 years or more is gonna create any problems,” added the quarry’s nearest neighbor. “Someone should contact Culpeper Stone and ask then if they left dynamite there . . . Maybe we should get the quarry inspected,” Mr. Miller suggested. “Why not appoint the most expendable member of the board to do down there and make an inspection?” asked Robert Eastham. “Do you want to volunteer for that committee, Bob?” Supervisor Nelson Lane asked the former School Board member and gadfly to the Board of Supervisors. Question for experts “We’re going to ask Culpeper Stone and they’re going to say no,” insisted Mrs. Ralph. “Who’s going to prove it? Who’s going to go in there and check? Do we have an expert around?” Carson Johnson proposed reporting the allegation to the State Water Control Board and requesting that the Army Corps of Engineers be called in with a demolition team to investigate. “They’re experts.

Mr. Bennet said he had been injured when he tried to pick up a pile of rocks. “It blowed me about 15-20 feet in the air . . . It was two or three hours before I come to, and when I did, the load had disappeared, and I never did see it no more.” By consensus, the board members agreed to take Mr. Johnson’s suggestion and also to contact Culpeper Stone. They set a special meeting for next Monday at 7:30 to act on Mr. List’s application for a landfill. Under state regulations, the Supervisors had the option of holding a public hearing after receiving notification from the Department of Waste Management of receipt of Mr. List’s application for a landfill. After Monday’s hearing, they have 10 days to submit a recommendation to the Department of Waste Management. However, as Zoning Administrator John McCarthy pointed out, the department is not bound to act on the landfill application in accord with the board’s recommendation. “The Supervisors’ recommendation will have little or no bearing on what the state’s action will be,” he told the landfill opponents at Monday’s hearing. Whether the state grants Mr. List a permit for a landfill will depend primarily on geological and hydrological conditions at the site, he said. But even with a permit from the state, a landfill at the quarry site could not begin operations without an amendment to the county’s zoning ordinance, he said. The quarry site is zoned industrial; a sanitary landfill is not listed as an allowed use in that zoning category and uses not listed are specifically prohibited, Mr. McCarthy noted. Foothills Continued from page 1 be starred with a general description of the attractions and services available here. “I think it’s a good thing for the business people to cooperate in bringing people to Rappahannock, but for the taxpayers to pick it up, that’s not quite right,” said Supervisor Dick Latham. Orchardists and beef producers don’t ask the tax payers to promote their products, he said. “I’ll be glad to give them all the vocal support they want.” “Send me a bill (for the $35 membership fee) and I’ll join, but I can’t vote to spend public funds,” Supervisor Miller added. “It seems we want the business people to do everything for us but we don’t want to do anything for the business people,” said Supervisor Charles Estes, noting that the board was slated to consider a transient tax on overnight lodgers and a res taurant meal tax. (Both were rejected later in the meeting after Zoning Administrator John McCarthy determined that administrative expenses would nearly equal revenue.) While Supervisor Nelson Lane joined Mr. Miller in pledging that he will join the Association, Mr. Estes was the lone dissentor in the board’s .decision to deny the request for the $400 donation. In personnel action at Monday’s meeting, the board appointed: • James Swindler, Jr. to the Water and Sewer Authority. • Chris Parrish from Jackson District and Peggy Clark from Wakefield District to the county’s Board of Assessors. • John McCarthy as the county’s representative on the Piedmont Policy Board which administers the Job Training Partnership Act.
