Being scared keeps you alive. ” - Chuck Thompson, Fire School Instructor “You don’t have to be paid to be a professional. The only difference between a paid firefighter and a volunteer is that one draws a paycheck.’’ - Stan Mettinger, Fire School Instructor The 22nd annual Northern Virginia Regional Fire School, held the past two weekends at the Amissville Fire Department, afforded plenty of opportunities for apprehension, if not full-blown terror. But, even when we were exposed to a fire situation for the first time, the professionalism and experience of our instructors helped quell the fears of even a “greenhorn” firefighter like myself. When I spoke with Paul Poling, chief of Amissville Company 3 and coordinator of the fire school program, about attending the school, he encouraged my interest - even after hearing that I had never worn turnout gear (the basic firefighting outfit: helmet, coat, bunker pants, rubber boots and gloves), much less been closer to a burning building than the business end of a news camera. “Don’t worry,” he said, “by the end of the weekend you’ll have an idea of what it’s like to be a firefighter.” Mr. Poling kept his promise. Early Saturday morning the first weekend about 80 volunteer firefighters from Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Warren, Prince William, Loudoun, Rockingham, Stafford and Spotsylvania counties registered for one of several different classes to be taught during the first session of the two-weekend school. I registered, along with about 25 other students, for the basic course: eight hours of instruction in the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (air-packs), and eight hours of instruction in the techniques of fighting structure fires. Veteran volunteers registered for a 16-hour course in vertical rescue techniques using Amissville’s newly.completed five-story training tower; two classroom courses were also offered for prospective fire company officers and instructors. Our group began with a morninglong classroom session on the function, use and maintenance of the breathing apparatus. Our instructors (Frank Huff, Chief, Flint Hill Co. 4; Chuck Thompson, Battalion Chief, Fairfax City Volunteer Fire Department and Fire Science Instructor at Fauquier High School; and Stan Mettinger, Captain, Warrenton Volunteer Fire Department) are all certified by the Virginia Department of Fire Programs. The instructors explained the function of each part of the breathing gear - tank, regulator and mask - before anyone was allowed to don any of the gear. After the operation was explained, we practiced assembling and breaking down the gear until we could do it with our eyes closed. Only then were we allowed to put on the facemask, first holding it up to our faces and finally strapping it on. The instructors cautioned that some people have problems with claustrophobia when they put on the mask. “But it’s nothing to be ashamed of, or for anyone else to laugh at,” Mr. Thompson warned. “We can work with you - one on “Waiting inside the entry door, bent on one knee, sweating with the weight of 60 pounds of equipment, heart racing with an apprehension of the unknown, unable to see a thing, I wondered ‘What am I doing here?’.” Rappahannock News photos DURING SMOKEHOUSE TRAINING, volunteer firefighters from Rappahannock and Fauquier counties prepare to battle the flames (top). After their baptism by fire, Kelly Dougherty, Lois V.F.D., helps her partner Lou Hatter check out his breathing apparatus (bottom). one - and get you comfortable with the gear,” Chief Huff added. Finally we donned our turnout gear, strapped on the air-packs and connected the hose. We crawled around the floor of the apparatus room, getting used to the weight of the gear and learning how to control our breathing to conserve the 22 minute air supply in the bottle. Then we were told to shut off the air supply, simulating an emergency situation: running out of air while still in a toxic atmosphere. The instructors checked each person’s reaction carefully - panic could literally mean death for ourselves and our partners. They watched for signs of discomfort as we cracked the mask’s seal with our fingers, drew a deep breath and held it, and crawled forward a few feet before repeating the technique. It was a difficult task, controlling my natural reaction to rip off the mask and suck in deep breaths of air. Knowing, however, that panic inside a burning building would be almost certainly fatal, my classmates and I persevered until Continued on page 14 Landfill proposed on Lee property By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer A proposed location for the long sought sanitary landfill has passed its first test. On Tuesday, Robert Forman of the Virginia Division of Waste Management found land near Washington owned by the Lee Partnership “not perfect (as a sanitary landfill), but with proper planning, it will be all right.” He added that there is no perfect spot for a dump. “If it’s a perfect site, if it’s a perfect place, if the soils are perfect for a landfill, then they’re also perfect for septic fields and residences, and everybody already lives there! If I get ‘good’ (on a site evaluation), I’m tickled to death.” Mr. Forman inspected the tract on Tuesday morning with a consulting engineer hired by the Lees, Zoning Administrator John McCarthy and Supervisors Newbill Miller, Charles K. Estes and Hubert Gilkey. “The soils look pretty good,” he announced in a telephone interview Tuesday evening. “We looked for rock outcroppings but we didn’t find any.” The proposed 10-acre landfill is located in a heavily wooded area at the top of a ridge line between the Fodderstack Road and Route 211. The site is near the middle of a 128acre tract, with the nearest residences (all owned by the Lee family) at least a mile away, according to Mr. McCarthy. The land surrounding the 128-acre tract is also owned by the Lees, he noted. Private, not public, landfill The state is being asked by Tom Lee, Loretta S. Lee and James Lee to approve a privately operated sanitary landfill. “The board, at present, has np iptention of buying the landfill site or running the landfill,” Mr. McCarthy emphasized. “If the site is approved, the county will be contracting with the Lees to operate the landfill. It will be somewhat along the lines of what the county has done in the past.” Currently, the Board of Supervisors contracts with Community Trash, Inc., to provide and maintain refuse containers at various locations. Under the terms of the agreement with Community Trash, solid waste becomes the responsibility of the company once it’s deposited in the dumpsters. Since 1976, Community Trash has operated a private sanitary landfill near Woodville with site owner Clifton Clark and has disposed of Rappahannock’s trash at that location. But capacity was reached there last year. At the same time, the Board of Supervisors exercised its option to extend Community Trash’s contract for another year. This left Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Updike with Rappahannock’s trash but no dumping site in the county. In June, Mr. Forman approved an emergency extension of the landfill on the Clark property for one year, but only with the condition that the county provide a new landfill or acceptable means of solid waste disposal by July 1,1987. Since trying unsuccessfully to contract with other jurisdictions to take Rappahannock’s trash and rejecting as too expensive participating in Harrisonburg’s resource recovery system, the supervisors have been hunting hard for a landfill site here. “Mr. Lee expressed interest and the board encouraged him to apply for a permit,” Mr. McCarthy reported on Tuesday. “But everything’s open for public discussion,” he added. Regulations governing private landfills are “somewhat” different from those which would apply if the county was the owner or operator, according to Mr. Forman. Private landfill operators must post a substantial personal bond to ensure that the site is closed properly, he noted. In addition, personal liability coverage would be more expensive for the private operator than for the county, Mr. Forman said. Asked if new regulations require private operators to obtain liability coverage for environmental pollution while the landfill is in use, Mr. Forman answered not to his knowledge. “1 don*tthink anybody eanbtfy environmental pollution insurance. . .But I’m just about as confused as you are about the new regulations. They made changes and then they backed off. They made changes again and then they backed off again,” he said, of the policy makers in Richmond. More land suggested The Lees have applied to the state for a sanitary landfill on 10 acres. However, after the preliminary site inspection, Mr. Forman Continued on page 14 Konick knocks amendment; Planners ask more time By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Deciding they needed more time for study, the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners have asked the Board of Supervisors to delay action on two proposed amendments to the county subdivision ordinance scheduled for public hearing at the board’s October 6 meeting. At the commission’s public hearing last Wednesday, attorney David Konick called the amendments “arbitrary and capricious,” described the stated reasons for adoption as “utter nonsense,” and charged that one of the proposed amendments encourages government by the buddy system. The two subdivision ordinance amendments considered by the commissioners would: • Authorize the supervisors to grant exceptions to the county’s subdivision ordinance in “unusual situations” or when strict adherence would create hardship or substantial injustice. • Repeal the ordinance’s existing provision for appeal of subdivision approval to the Circuit Court. The first amendment will bring Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance into conformity with changes in enabling legislation made by the General Assembly last year, according to Zoning Administrator John McCarthy. The second comes in response to a judicial opinion, he said, adding that Judge Shore Robertson has ruled there is no basis in existing legislation for the right of appeal conferred on all landowners by Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance. According to Mr. McCarthy, the judge held that neighboring landowners substantially aggrieved or impacted by approval of a subdivi sion already have the right to appeal that decision without it being granted specifically by ordinance. Rappahannock’s existing law exceeds legislative authority by broadening that right to include landowners “20 miles away,” Mr. McCarthy said. If the amendment repealing that provision is passed, “where would they appeal to?” asked Planning Commissioner David Fannon. Citizens at large could appeal a subdivision approval to the Board of Supervisors, Mr. McCarthy replied. Then, if they failed to get satisfaction, they could sue the subdivider or the governing body to have the decision reversed, he added. Amendments called “worst things” “These are two of the worst things I’ve seen come before the Planning Commission or the Board of Supervisors in the 10 years I’ve been active in policy making or land use decisions in this county,” said Mr. Rappahannock’s former zoning administrator. The way the amendments are being presented is “a really big piece of disinformation. . .quite intentional. . .not an accident,” he alleged. One of the critical problems with Rappahannock’s existing zoning ordinance, according to professional planner Dick McNear, is that it lacks specific standards, Mr. Konick continued. And the main reason why the county’s proposed new ordinance is a much longer document is that it includes standards, he said. But the proposed amendment lacks any standards, he pointed out. It fails to specify either application procedures or what the applicant has to show in order to qualify for an exception, Mr. Konick contended. “It leaves too much up to the unbridled discretion of the supervisors.” It says nothing about notifying neighboring landowners, who have a right to notice that an exception is being considered, he said. In addition, the ordinance should specify exactly what provisions are eligible for exceptions, he continued. “There are things that under no circumstances you should get an exception from,” he maintained, citing controls on steeply sloped conservation land, the prohibition against new lots of less than 25 acres on rights-of-way less than 50 feet, road frontage requirements and minimum lot widths. “You’ve got to draw a limit,” he told the Planning Commission. “This proposal is making a very significant change,” Mr. Konick said, noting that the old version allowed for exceptions only from specific “quantitative and qualitative” standards, such as requirements for gutters and sidewalks. But the proposed amendment allows for exceptions to general subdivision ordinance requirements for right-ofway width and road frontage, he pointed out. “Really bad” But “what’s really bad,” the attorney said, is the allowance for exceptions in “unusual circumstances.” Every single plat that comes before the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission involves unusual circumstances, he maintained. “Who’s going to make the decision on what’s unusual and what’s not? How do you define unusual? How are you going to enforce this in a fair manner?” he asked. “I’ll tell you how it’s going to be enforced — if you’re my buddy, you qualify. If you’re not, so sorry !” Under the proposed amendment, decisions on exceptions would be “totally arbitrary and capricious,” Mr. Konick argued, contending that those decisions won’t withstand legal challenges sure to ensue. To get an exception now, the applicant must show hardship AND a peculiar topographical condition, Mr. Konick noted. Under the amendment, the applicant would only have to show hardship OR unusual circumstances, and neither is defined, he said. “Why is this all of a sudden materializing before the Planning Commission?” the attorney asked. The proposed amendments are “an attempt to water down the provisions so somebody could be given an exception,” Mr. Konick charged, in apparent reference to a recent application for exceptions to the subdivision ordinance from Oscar and Stella Lozano. (The Lozanos’ request was granted by the supervisors at their September meeting. The Planning Commission initially held a public hearing and recommended approval of the proposed subdivision ordinance amendments last month, in time for the supervisors to hold their public hearing and adopt the amendments before acting on the Lozanos’ application. However, failure to comply with state law on public notice required the Planning Commission to hold its hearing again. (Since the law also requires that zoning matters be referred to the Commission for recommendation, the Board of Supervisors could not act on the amendments at the September meeting.) Law should not be written “as a favor or to meet a specific case,” Mr. Konick said, adding that it's “utter nonsense” to claim that the ordinance amendments were proposed in order to bring Rappahannock into compliance with state law. Adopting the wording of the enabling legisContinued on page 14 Reynolds hired as town attorney By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council voted last Thursday to retain Frank Reynolds as its counsel. In an abbreviated special session called to consider the matter of a paid attorney - a first for the town - the council also decided to conduct its deliberations in public, rather than executive, session. Because the matter being considered involved personnel, the council could have, under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, discussed the matter in executive session. The four council members present (Mayor Dean Morehouse, Brad Fisher, Nan Thomasson and Evelyn Willis) voted unanimously to conduct the deliberations in open session. Mr. Reynolds suggested that because, in addition to the council, he would also supply legal expertise to the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals, the Planning Commission, and the Architectural Review Board, “you can’t afford the luxury of an attorney sitting in on meetings.” Mr. Reynolds said that one way to handle the situation would be to continue any matters requiring his legal advice until he could deliver an opinion. “This may mean that you need to schedule additional special meetings...” He added, however, that “this procedure will save money in the long run. To sit in meeting two to three hours several times a month - you might maybe use my advice five minutes. . . .It makes the attorney feel better, not feeling pressure to answer off the top of his head. Most times I would need to research the question anyway.” The council members agreed with Mr. Reynolds’ suggestion, and also his request that a “central authority” be named to approve requests for legal advice from the various boards. Mayor Morehouse said that the council had an “informal policy with Doug (Baumgardner, who preceded Mr. Reynolds as town attorney)” that “substantive” questions were posed in writing. Mr. Reynolds replied that “every board will have questions. A central authority will cut down on suprise bills.” He added that “(legally) the BZA is different - you have no power over the BZA. It acts independently.” Mrs. Willis said that “The head of each board should deal with the attorney. Just get a note from Dean and cut out the middleman.” The other council members agreed that the mayor should authorize use of Mr. Reynolds for legal advice. After consenting to Mr. Reynolds’ proposed fee of $75 per hour, the council unanimously approved a resolution designating him as town attorney. The council also approved a resolution naming John McCarthy, the county’s zoning administrator, “as its Agent for the administration of the Town of Washington Subdivision Ordinance, and as its administrator for the Zoning Ordinance for the town of Washington...”

Wool promotion to continue Sheep producers have voted to continue deductions from Commodity Credit Corporation wool incentive payments to finance promotion of wool, according to Linda Henry, county executive director of the Warren and Rappahannock offices of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). Preliminary returns show that of the producers voting in the referendum, 62.2 percent, owning 68.7 percent of the sheep, favored continuing advertising and other market development programs under a proposed new agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the American Sheep Producers Council, Inc. A majority of local producers voted in favor of the program. In Virginia, 607 producers, owning 48,303 sheep voted in favor of the program; and 256 producers owning 20,672 sheep voted against it. . The proposed agreement authorizes continued deductions from payments made under the National Wool Act on wool and unshorn lambs marketed during 1986 through 1990. The new agreement authorizes deductions of up to 6 cents a pound on shorn wool up from 4 cents and 30 cents 1 hundredweight on unshorn lambs up from 20 cents. The previous rates had been in effect for 4 years. Last year, the Council’s expenditures for wool and lamb promotion were about $4.1 million. The amount budgeted for the current year is $5.1 million. Sheep producers have approved the wool and lamb promotion program by the necessary two-thirds majority in eight referendums held since 1954. The Council’s national wool promotion program is run in cooperation with other segments of the industry which provide additional or matching funds. Promotion activities include advertising, merchandising and education. Lamb promotion is concentrated in high lamb-consumption areas.

Dodson and Williams, both members of the 94 man “Virginia National Guard 1986 Buddy Platoon,” endured record high temperatures that did not force the cancellation of basic training activities, including instruction in the use and mainte nance of a variety of infantry weapons, physical conditioning exercises and other soldiering skills. Dodson and Williams will return to Rappahannock County High School as seniors. They will be tougher, a bit more experienced and about $1200 richer for their efforts. They will continue to train one weekend each month with the Virginia National Guard unit in Warrenton. Following two months of Advanced Individual Training next summer, the young men will be eligible for the first half of a $2000 enlistment bonus, plus a variety of enlistment benefits which include the new GI Bill and student loan repayment incentives.

Taxpayers ask referendum The Virginia Taxpayers Association is calling for a general election referendum on the General Assembly’s final multi#billion road program “because of the extraordinary cost obligated over a period of years, the fact that the proposed transportation board with a big new slush fund for northern Virginia Metro and other purposes takes away responsibility of elected legislators, and because we must be sure the citizens of this state really want to pay for something of is magnitude.” The state taxpayer organization, meeting September 13 in Charlottesville, added that a “strong further reason is that the General Assembly really does not represent the citizens of this state, as shown again by a poll conducted this past spring for the largest audience TV station in western Virginia. The poll, taken for station WDBJ (Channel 7), Roanoke, found that on a number of key 1986 issues, state legislators in the large surrounding area had not voted in accordance with sentiment of their own constituents.” “VTA proved the same thing when we beat the General Assembly last session on a constitutional amendment they had passed the previous year adding undesirable politics in the governor’s office. That’s why VTA is strongly backing House Joint Resolution 123 in next year’s session implementing the right of initiative and referendum on a regular basis.” The Transportation Commission, the VTA noted, uses a “brainwashing” technique in a tax-financed report telling taxpayers themselves, “We are a wealthy state which, without undue hardship to any of our citizens, can raise the revenues needed.” The taxpayer organization observed, however, that “most Virginians are not at the top of the heap financially, and if transportation in this state is to have number one priority in the coming decade, there is no commitment whatever in the Commission’s report for the Commonwealth to make necessary spending cuts elsewhere.” Marriage Licenses The following marriage licenses were issued at the Clerk’s office during the past week: James Stewart Hitt, Castleton and Barbara Ann Poole, Castleton.

Caledonia Farm on Oct. House Tour The Thirtieth Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held on October 18 and 19. The three houses slated for this year’s tour will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Headquarters for the event will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcbpal Church in historic Washington, Virginia. The Parish Hall will also serve as sales room for the hundreds of arrangements of dried flowers prepared by the ladies of Trinity Church and others in the community who, since spring, have been growing, collecting and drying the thousands of blossoms, greens and pieces of foliage that go into these arrangements. The first of the houses to be shown on this year’s tour is Caledonia Farm, owned by Phil Irwin and located approximately 4.4 miles north of Washington on State Rt. 628. Beautifully situated at the foot of The Peak Mountain, the house was built in 1812 by Captain John Dearing of local fieldstone and mud mortar. The stone work in its twofoot thick walls is unusually fine; note the sharp edges of the outside corners. The house also features solid 32 foot beams running its length, original mantels, panelled windows and wide pine-board floors. The ceiling beams in the living room were uncovered during the 1965 restoration. The living room mantel is believed to have been done by former Hessian soldiers who stayed on in the area as carpenters following the Revolution. The original design, as it did for many houses of the period in this area, provided for two rooms to a floor. Captain Dearing, however, made two rooms from one on the main floor and provided each with a unique diagonal comer fireplace. Of the six fireplaces in the main house, three are operational and unusual in that they share a common flue. The winter kitchen is located in the basement and the new wing of the main house contains the dining room with a modem kitchen adjacent. At one time the house boasted its own “crying baby” ghost, heard by many in the past but not in recent years. Perhaps the additions and other remodeling have caused it to seek more customary quarters elsewhere. The former slave kitchen/servants’ quarters, connected to the main house by a covered 30 foot portico, now serve as guest quarters. The original kitchen with its usual large fireplace, again as it was in the 1800’s, is now a living room. Above are bedroom and bath. This building is also of local stone. Remodeling of rooms in both buildings has retained their original charm and the colonial color scheme. In addition to the antique fumi Sean Kilpatrick photos for the Rappahannock News CALEDONIA FARM, HOME OF Mr. Phil Irwin, on State Rt. 628 north of Washington. The house was built of local materials in 1812. On the right is the summer kitchen, now a guest house. ture to be seen in the rooms are mementos of Phil Irwin’s many years with the Voice of America in Washington, D.C., as well as with the Armed Forces Network (AFN) in Germany and a number of auto racing trophies.

INC WHERE GOOD FURNITURE IS NEVER EXPENSIVE ARB grants paint permits; delays action on signs By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Architectural Review Board delayed approving applications from Camille Harris and Pat Foster for signs advertising businesses to be located at their home, the Foster-Harris House on Main Street. The ARB refused to act because the legality of the businesses under the town’s zoning ordinances has not yet been resolved. “The only business of the ARB is whether the signs look right,” ARB chairman Carol Miller said. “We can only act after the zoning (question) is resolved.” Mrs. Miller offered a letter written by Zoning Administrator John McCarthy which said that, in his opinion, the ordinance in effect when Mrs. Harris applied (ordinance effective July 21, 1970) did allow signs advertising businesses located in the Town of Washington by right. “However,” Mr. McCarthy’s letter continued, “the businesses she both operates (flower shop) and that her husband proposes to operate (woodworking shop) are allowed by special use permit, which the applicant did not apply for. “Consequently, she proposes to erect signs for a business which is not legally constituted . . . this is illegal under . . . the old ordinance.” Mr. McCarthy further stated that, in his opinion, the businesses Mrs. Harris proposes to operate are “by-right home occupations” under the new ordinance, (adopted August 20), but commercial advertising signs are prohibited under the new ordinance in a Village Residential district. Mrs. Harris replied that “This opens another whole can of worms. We and everyone else have been operating illegally - if a special use permit is needed. We thought we were legal - we had no idea. Our intent is to comply ... We applied for the permits to act in good faith with the ordinance.” The ARB did, however, grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for a paint scheme presented by Mrs. Harris and Mr. Foster. The house will be painted in light gray, the trim charcoal gray, the sashes white and the roof red. Noting that their color choices were chosen from a color chart recommended by the board, the three-member ARB (Mrs. Miller, Jim Thomasson and Evelyn Willis) approved the plan unanimously. Raymond Gooch’s application and color scheme for repainting the log cabin he recently purchased, located on Gay Street next to the Gay Street Inn was also approved unanimously. Mrs. Miller noted that Mr. Gooch had also made his color selections from a paint manufacturer’s color chart recommended by the ARB. The application also included Mr. Gooch’s plans to replace the existing doors and windows with custom wood doors (with window panels) and windows. The board’s approval of Mr. Gooch’s application followed a brief discussion of the unusual color combination which he had selected. The body of the house will be painted brownish-red, the trim beige and the roof a chocolate brown. Mrs. Willis said that Mr. Gooch had been “sensitive in choosing colors; that they match the mortar” already on the house. Mr. Gooch replied that “I tried to match the color to the type of house - it’s been a working class house for most of its existence.” Mrs. Willis cautioned that “. . . this is going to be controversial . . . No log cabin in town - or in the county - has ever been painted these colors. . . . People will call and tell you about it.” “I just don’t want people copying it!” Mr. Gooch retorted. Mr. Thomasson added that “It is a combination from approved charts; and it is a combination with historical significance.” In addition to approving his application, the board also commended Mr. Gooch for the nice job he had done in cleaning up and landscaping the property. Mrs. Miller also questioned the whereabouts of the plans and the certificates of approval for Jimmy DeBergh’s log cabin construction on Gay Street. The project was approved at the ARB’s meeting on March 20, Mrs. Miller recalled, but she thought that Mr. DeBergh had requested that he get the proposals back so he could copy them, and that they would be returned. She added that the ARB does not have any of Continued on page 14 rt*OR*«U VIDEO RENTALS W -MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL6 month and 6 Free Join anytime now thru October 31 for ONLY $4.95 for 6 months and we will give you 6 FREE Movie Rentals.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. V_/ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,1986 Editorials Time to register Election Day 1986 is fast approaching, and sooner still is the cut-off date for registration to be eligible to vote on November 4th. If you are not now a registered voter, we urge that you do so by the last day for registration, Saturday, October 4. Voter turnout in non-presidential election years is historically lower than presidential years, but that does not make the election any less important. Indeed, local elections are really more important to most people in their daily lives, since the decisions made by elected officials in Rappahannock County are likely to affect them more directly than those made by faceless bureaucrats in Washington, D. C. In order to make registration as easy as possible for Rappahannock residents, the Office of the Registrar will be holding special registration sessions at several locations around the county. The dates, times and locations are: —Friday, Sept. 26, 5 to 7 p.m.: Burke’s Store, Woodville. —Saturday, Sept. 27, 9 to 12 a.m.: Castleton Fire House, Rt. 617, Castleton. —Friday, Oct. 3, 5 to 7 p.m.: Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank, Flint Hill. The Office of the Registrar at the courthouse will also be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4 to accommodate last minute registrants. Absentee ballot applications may be filled out until Saturday, Nov. 1 at the registrar’s office. Applications can also be mailed if requested by calling the office at 675-3739. The State of Virginia no longer has a requirement for a minimum period of residence, so anyone who lives in Rappahannock County is eligible to vote, if they register in time. Remember, representative government only truly represents those who participate in it. Your candidate may not win, but by casting your vote you are expressing your views. The right to vote is an important one — use it. Open government The Washington Town Council should be commended for the example it set last week by conducting deliberations concerning the hiring of a town attorney in public session; as opposed to retiring into executive session as they could have done under Virginia law. Certainly all matters of government cannot be conducted in public session —indeed there are some things which should absolutely be protected: such as the deliberations of Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts. But most of government should be done under the gaze of the public — after ali, the public elected most of the officials — they are entitled to know how the decisions which affect their lives come about. Everyone should recognize the desire of the Washington Town Council to open as much of the town’s business to the public as possible. They deserve the support of all the town’s residents in their efforts to encourage more citizen participation in the decisions which affect their lives. Perhaps their example will serve as a reminder to other officials, be they local, state or national, that the public deserves to know what their elected officials are doing. Conference process can be complicated By DON DEL ROSSO Democrat Staff Writer The dance of legislation this week continues over Senate and House versions of tax plans to fund a massive statewide road construction program. On Monday night, the House of Delegates struggled to adopt a revenue package that would produce about $570 million in new funds for highway needs. Tuesday afternoon the Senate adopted a package of bills that would raise about $530 million per year in . new revenues. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles proposed a plan that would have generated about $630 million a year for the next decade. But because the Senate and Senate plans don’t jibe, it’s likely they will go to a conference committee. The “conference” approach to resolving interchamber differences can be complicated and protracted. The first step requires the Sen ate and the House to exchange their proposals. They would then return the proposals and either accept or reject the amended versions of their own proposals. It is expected that either the Senate or the House will reject the amended version, thus forcing the matter into “conference.” For example, should the Senate reject the House tax package, the House leadership will ask the Senate to go into conference. Typically, a conference is made up of six lawmakers — three from the Senate and three from the House. The conferees then hash out their differences and, ideally, report an identical package back to their respective chambers that’s agreeable to the members. It’s anybody’s guess when the conferees will report back to the Senate and House to vote.

V____ Letters to the editor A great party To the editor: Didn’t Mrs. Kilby and her committee do a fine job of planning and managing the party on September 13 in honor of Mrs. Mary Botts Quaintance? It was such fun to see the old snapshots of the girls’ basketball teams, the May courts and Mr. Winfrey on the dance floor. Incidentally, the snap of the graduates in white robes that was introduced as “unidentified” was five, of the 11 of us girls who graduated in 1942 with Roger Woodward, the lone male. Henry B. Wood stole the show with his Tales of Mary Botts Quaintance, Private Eye. And the notes from parents read by the former assistant principal were delightful. Two examples for any readers of the News who couldn’t be present: “Please excuse Johnny for being absent. I took him to the doctor, and he shot him.” And “I got your letter saying Billy is a bad boy. He has been bad ever since he was born, which was his father’s fault.” The only flaw in an otherwise perfect evening was Mrs. Winfrey’s inability to attend. Like Mrs. Quaintance, she has spent a lifetime helping young people develop their abilities and achieve their dreams. While Mrs. Quaintance was teaching us to behave, work our hardest, and never be quitters, Mrs. Winfrey was helping us discover .that the great writers aren’t great because some dull academicians ruled in their favor but because their stories and poems are moving, fascinating and fun. Long before we knew that integration was coming, or even what the word meant, she was teaching us through our Literature and Life books and her example to appreciate people of every race and in every walk of life. . Do any of your readers remember with me her efforts to help a classroom of healthy, active young people grasp the meaning of the line from Milton’s On His Blindness: “They also serve who only stand and wait.” I believe many Sperryville High graduates can say as I do that while I have had the privilege of studying under a number of outstanding teachers in several colleges, I don’t think all of them combined have influenced my character and my life as have Mrs. Quaintance and Mrs. Winfrey. JANE R. HOPKINS Norfolk This poem was written in honor of Mary Botts Miller Quaintance on the 80th anniversary of her birthday, September 13,1986. A Limerick or Two for Dear Mrs. Q. Our seventh-grade teacher, Mrs. Q-. Was impressive and stem. We were new. She taught us to “Do it!” And before we quite knew it, The school year was already through. Our basketball coach, Mrs. 0. ; - and we Demanded our best - knew We must score and not foul. (Who would dare risk her growl?) Our fame as girls’ champions grew! She was thorough, demanding, and tough. We must always produce our best stuff. And although she was strict, We were proud to be picked, To be one of her girls was enough! She drove us all home - and she cared. On her shoulders we grew and we dared. Though her visage austere Made us tremble with fear, Without her, how would we have fared? JANE RUDASILL HOPfCINS Sperryville High School Class of’42 ■L Notes from a Russian tour By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Yesterday we stood in the sun that reflected from the gold-leafed domes of Red Square, coming to know the busy city of Moscow where we had just arrived. This evening we are settling in to spending two nights on the Convent Pobrovsky grounds in a beautifully built log house. Our visit to Russia focuses on the remnants of medieval developments - splendid church architecture and the decorative features of buildings that survive from the 11th century to the time of Peter the Great. We drove East of Moscow today for five hours to arrive here visiting Vladimir, another city with ancient remains on the way. The area between Vladimir and Suzcal, affected by glaciers long ago, is marked by undulations of the land which give it character. The soil is black and we are obviously in good farmland growing alfalfa and probably wheat - there are huge straw stacks in many places. It has rained most of today making the unploughed fields emerald and the ploughed land charcoal. Our hotel accommodations are deluxe reproductions of the houses we have seen in all our countryside excursions. Russia is at least as wooded as the U.S. is and there is a great deal of unsettled land. Settlements are rows of small wooden structures with gabled roofs lined up one next to the other. These houses are really homesteads with fruit trees, shrubs and gardens surrounding them. Many are quaintly decorated with painted wooden carvings reminiscent of Victorian gingerbread - but different. In the cities people live for the most part in large apartment houses from four to 16 stories high, depending upon when they were built. But the village dweller, just as in the U.S., lives in an individual house. When we passed through one small town that had a number of new apartments behind the rows of farmstead dwellings, I asked our guide about where people prefer to live. r She said houses are popular. Inside our “model” log cabin, constructed especially for tourists, there is a beautiful green tiled “stove” covering nearly one-half of one wall. That •only works as heat storage for hot air passing through. The room also has a “baseboard” heater of a four inch iron pipe where I suppose a one inch pipe of hot water passes to provide additional heat in the winter. Outside all the village houses are stacks of wood cut for heating this winter - for the most part birch, the most prevalent forest tree, together with fir. While it seems that most people in the USSR want to live in Moscow (read N.Y.C.) or some other large city, clearly, as in the U.S. most live in other places - villages, towns and lesser cities. Our guide said Vladimir has a population of 350,000 “the optimum size,” according to her. We have no opportunity to talk to people here because of language problems and the fact that our tour takes up all our time, or leaves us exhausted when we have free time. It is amusing to hear people we are traveling with discuss this situation, just as they did when we were in China. We don’t have time to do most things we are scheduled to do. We have to decide whether or not what we have had arranged for us is worth more or less than what we can arrange for ourselves. Tonight I decided to skip supper to write this - we are being overfed! I had heard the food isn’t especially good here, but I’ve found it quite good, although short on fruit and green vegetables. I’m skipping supper because we spent two and a quarter hours at lunch today. The first course was tomato salad; the second, scalloped fish; the third, chicken soup with lots of cabbage. Then came a big individual bean pot full of sauce, vegetables and large pieces of veal, very hot, served beside a plate of cut up fried potatoes and sliced cucumbers. White and brown bread and butter are served with every meal. For dessert we had ice cream garnished with a preserved fruit. Since we spent so much time to be served and to eat this meal, I didn’t think T needed anything more today. You may have' noticed that Russian women are figured on the large size. Here I don’t stand out. Having experienced a week of eating, I know why. One has the feeling that a large part of the USSR, especially the Russian part, is like the U.S. between the Appalachians and the Rockies. The people suffer from the fact that their country is in one part of the world with a latitude similar to Canada rather than the “lower 48.” It may be much drier here than we regularly experience, as well as subject to a short growing season. From what we can see, the agriculture doesn’t look particularly productive, although this is not true of Suzcal. We have seen only a few herds of cattle, probably mostly dairy, but we have been served quite a lot of beef and veal. Our trip isn’t planned to help us understand agriculture and we can’t see. as much as we would like from the bus window. Around Leningrad there were many greenhouses. We didn’t see that outside Moscow, although there may be greenhouses in directions other than the one we drove. The fact that our diet has been limited to chicken, beef, pork, fish - lots of that and good - potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes and squash (once) - together with onions in things, leads me to think there is some kind of agricultural problem in the Northern part we have visited in this, our first week in the USSR. The people - about 20 - traveling with us are nice, nearly all older than we are, from Fla., Pa., D.C area, etc., all very widely and much traveled. We are with a Smithsonian Associates tour called “Golden Russia.” We arrived in Leningrad on the August 20th. Our leader speaks Russian and is a teacher of Russian language and culture at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

A pleasure To the editor: It was such a pleasure to be in attendance for the birthday celebration at RCES, honoring Mrs. Mary Botts Quaintance on Saturday evening, September 13. Mrs. Quaintance is positively one of a kind. She has held every office possible during her administration as an educator. She was teacher, coach, doctor, nurse, sheriff, judge, lawyer, jury, prosecutor, counselor, philosopher and principal to mention a few. However, because of space limitation, I regretfully decline to list examples. Having gone through elementary school under her direction and guidance, I can attest to the fact that she was not only a teacher of subjects, she was a teacher who taught one how to respect, care, be honest, have good morals and build character because Mrs. Quaintance acquired all these qualities and then some. Most of us have heard, “when E. F. Hutton speaks everyone listens.” Well, E. F. didn’t have anything on Mrs. Quaintance. Women’s lib could take quite a lesson from her, as I’m sure many of the men who dealt with her could attest. Mrs. Quaintance is a very special person and probably doesn’t realize the services she has performed for thousands of men and women. She had a job and performed it in an unselfish rtianner. She is a vivacious lady who is still on the circuit and I will be looking forward to your birthday celebration in the year 2006. ARTHUR H. HITT JR. (MACK) Culpeper Slaughter backs ideas “The problem of transportation in Virginia is extremely critical and must be attended to immediately. Our transportation needs have been neglected for too long,” said Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter, Jr., last week. “The Virginia Study Commission on Transportation appointed by Governor Baliles has identified those needs and has estimated that $10 billion over the next ten years is required to take care of those needs. I believe such estimates are sound. “I appreciate the leadership and initiative of Governor Baliles on this subject. The Commission has suggested several alternatives for financing of the needed improvements and I am confident that the Governor and the General Assembly will be able to agree on legislation for the necessary revenue measures. “On the Federal level, last year and a few years ago, I supported legislation in the Congress to promptly distribute to the states funds now in the Federal Highway Trust Fund - about $9 billion - which cannot be used for any purpose other than transportation funding. Unfortunately, this legislation was defeated,” Congressman Slaughter continued. “A policy of prompt distribution of highway trust funds would mean substantial assistance to the financing of state transportation improvements now and in the future. I shall certainly continue to advocate and support this policy,” he promised.

An official language? By LAWRENCE D. PRATT •“WMMiinock News Contributing Writer Making English the official language of the United States is an idea ' whose time has come. It is something that generations of immigrants have taken for granted. when coming to the United States, one learns English. In fact, those immigrants were proud to have learned English. If an American were to move to France, Germany or Spain he or she would expect to learn French, German or Spanish. The American taking up residence in a foreign country would expect to learn that language, but would not expect to have street signs and public services made available to him in English. It seems unfair for foreign speaking groups to come to the United States and demand the right from their new country not only to have their language put on street signs and used in the delivery of government services, but also to have their children taught in their own languages, rather than in English. The sons and daughters of the previous decades of immigrants have objected to the demands of the current crop of newcomers who have the audacity to insist that their own languages be used as public languages in their new land. Those objections have been met by a surly gathering of 24 Hispanic and Asian groups who recently denounced their hosts for wanting to have English as the official language of the land. Those who want to have a common language so that communication can be facilitated, national harmony promoted and economic prosperity maximized are denounced by the Hispanic-Asian coalition as anti-immigrant and xenophobic. They claim that these xenophobes object to people who are bilingual. Well, let’s take a look at the charges. I am bilingual, having learned Spanish during the 23 years I have been married to my wife who was bom in Panama and whose first language was Spanish. My wife is a naturalized American who passed her citizenship examination using the English which she has mastered quite well. In this respect, my wife is no different from the millions of immigrants who came tb America and learned English as a matter of course. Let’s face it. The drive to make English the official language of the country cannot be characterized fairly as an effort to stamp out other languages and cultures. It is an effort to have a common language, even to have bilingual people, but to have one plane of communication on which they all can meet. Countries such as France, Germany and Spain which have an official language certainly have no lack of bilingual people. Secretary of Education William Bennett has put this matter well: “There ought to be no confusion or embarrassment over our goal. The rise in ethnic consciousness, the resurgence of cultural pride in recent decades is a healthy thing; the traditions we bring with us, that our fore Commentary fathers brought with them to this land, are too worthwhile to be discarded. But a sense of cultural pride cannot come at the price of proficiency in English, our common language.” The word bilingual has come to mean contradictory things. In Canada, the bilingual laws resulted in a French-only policy in the province of Quebec. The divisiveness that resulted became so oppressive that businesses fled in droves to Ontario. Finally, the economic downturn was so severe that the French-speaking voters of Quebec decided that they were tired of starving in French, and wanted to get back to work in English. They threw the Anglophobe government out. The kind of rhetoric that we hear about bilingualism, from some of the Hispanic groups especially, sounds much too much like the rhetoric that was heard in Canada that resulted in the divisiveness that so damaged that nation. To top it off, the bilingual education programs advocated by the nonEnglish speaking extremists are quite different from what they sound like. The “transitional” approach to teaching English to non-English speaking kids turns out to be a way of not learning English. The instruction is not unlike the way I was taught Spanish in high schooL an hour at most a day, and then I spoke English the rest of the day, not only at home but at school as well. It was not until I happened upon another method of studying Spanish that I was able to master the language. From all of the teachers who have contacted English First, it is clear that an intensive period of instruction, perhaps as much as a semester, should be provided so that a student can study English full time during that period. Then the student is ready to study the other courses in the curriculum, in English. The goal of bilingual education should be to make the student bilingual. Bilingual should not become a code word for refusal to speak English. To continue with the current failed policies characterizing much of bilingual education will produce a growing number of high school graduates who cannot speak English. They will not be bilingual, and they will not be employable. For the sake of our nation’s unity and economic prosperity, let’s make English First. The voters of California have a great opportunity to take the lead in this effort because this November they get to vote on making English the official language ol their state. The eyes of the country will be upon them. The author, Larry Pratt, is president of English First, a grass roofs organization of 100,000. Pratt has been a Virginia state legislator and currently serves as secretary of the Council for Inter-American Security. Good response to helpline More than 400 citizens with highway concerns took advantage of the Highway Helpline during its first month of operation, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation has announced. And of those calls, the number one statewide topic of concern was potholes. “We are very pleased with this initial response to the Helpline,” said Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel, By dialing 1-800-367-ROAD, citizens can alert the department to the ever-changing conditions on any section of the more than 54,000 miles of state-maintained roads. Placed in operation on August ll? the statewide toll-free telephone number will receive information from citizens about highway maintenance or safety problems. Created to increase the department’s accessibility, the Helpline program fosters a team spirit for keeping Virginia’s roads in the best shape possible. Every call generates a response from the appropriate residency representative within five days of receipt of the Helpline form from the program coordinator. The first month’s statistics indicate that the majority of callers reported more than one concern about a specific road. And although many callers’ concerns did not fall within the areas the program was designed to cover, they too received a response explaining the department’s programs and operations. A listing of the top areas of concerns generated by highway district follows: Concerns: 1. Potholes 2. Requests for resurfacing or paving 3. Drainage problems (grading, ditches) and gravel or dust 4. Requests that a road be widened 5. Cutting or removing vegetation obstructing vision 6. Low shoulders, no shoulders and drop offs 7. Bad spots in pavement, rough roads 8.

Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hoffman are proud to announce the arrival of a Shenandoah concert series A new concert series, “Masterworks” will begin September 28 at Shenandoah College and Conservatory. The series will present four concerts this fall-the other dates are October 25, November 16 and December 7. The September 28, November 16 and December 7 concerts will take place at 7 p.m. in Goodson Hall on the Shenandoah campus. The October 25 performance will begin at 7 p.m. in the college’s Armstrong Auditorium. The concerts will be under the artistic direction of Dr. John F. Ohl, who supervised the well-received Bach-Handel Tricentennial concert series of 1985. The “Masterworks” presentations will follow the pattern established by the Bach-Handel series: each program will include several types of music, both instrumental and vocal, for solo performers and for ensembles. Composers from the Renaissance to the 20th century will be represented in performances by members, of the Shenandoah faculty and their st udents. Brief remarks by Dr. Ohl will introduce each work. Dr. Ohl said this type of program proved to be very popular with audiences at the Bach-Handel concerts. “This new series,” he said, “will carry the idea of variety on each program still further by giving us outstanding works of several composers of different periods and styles on every program. The first concert will present music from the 17th through the 20th century, in works by Purcell, Mozart, Brahms and Milhaud, each for a different combination of performers.” The concerts in the “Masterworks” series are free and open to the public.

RAMSEY TERHUNE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “How many of you lived on the mountain back then?” It was a probing question that brought the speaker and his audience together in a warm relationship of common roots. Repeating an annual affair, the Amissville Ruritan Club was host to 21 senior citizens for dinner and entertainment September 17. The speaker, Ranger Chuck Anibal of the National Park Service, was giving an articulate account of the history of the Shenandoah National Park when he questioned his audience. In a rapid slide show, punctuated by interesting facts, he traced the turnover of private and state-owned land to the stewardship of the National Park System. Two hands' were raised in response to the ranger’s query. Mrs. Bertie Hackley located her homeplace down on the Blue Ridge on Hazel Mountain in the Madison County area. Mrs. Omega Hitt’s homeplace was on the Luray side of the Ridge off 211 in a place called Beahms Gap, an area named for her grandfather, a sawmill operator. Ranger Anibal told of the first mountain people in the 1800s, settlers of German background from Pennsylvania and those of English and Irish descent from the coastal plain. Then came a development plan for a park as the government bought out all but a few old people to form our several- hundred thousand acre Shenandoah National Park. It was a timely review on this 50th anniversary of the Park’s founding in 1936. The roast beef dinner served by Mary Priest and several Ruritan wives filled any dimension not otherwise covered. Guests attending were Margaret Barron, Rose Bowie, Mrs. Blankenship, Harry Cook, Elva Compton, Bertie Hackley, Omega Hitt, Phoebe Green, Roy James, Anna Fincham, Dandy Mills, Beulah Lawrence, Hester Riley, Marion Rowzie, Mary O’Bannon, Irva Poe, Mrs. Segrest, Mickey Stuart, Guy Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Ippotson. The next project of the Ruritans will be the sale of Christmas fruitcakes. THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY BOOKSTORE Books, tapes, T-shirts, cards, jewelry and bibles for the whole family.

Graves family meeting set The Graves Family Association will be hosting a national Graves Family Gathering for members and descendants of all the various Graves/Greaves/Grave families in America in suburban Washington, D.C., the last weekend of September. The place is the Quality Inn Arlington Hotel in Arlington, Va. Registration on Friday, September 26, will be followed by a dinner and meeting that night. On Saturday there will be discussions about the various families, specific help for the attendees, a business meeting, socializing, dinner and a speaker. The hotel is conveniently located for sightseeing. For more information, contact Kenneth Vance Graves, 261 South St., Wrentham, MA 02093, home phone (617)384-8084. Mr. Graves, editor of the Graves Family Newsletter and author of several Graves family books, will be at the gathering. The Graves family is one of the oldest in America. Capt. Thomas Graves settled in Jamestown, Va. in 1608, and other Graves settlers arrived in New England and elsewhere in the 1600’s or later. German settlers arrived in Pennsylvania and changed their name from Graff to Graves before migrating to N.C., Tenn., Indiana, and elsewhere. Quaker Graves families settled in Delaware, N.J., and Pa. Other Graves immigrants arrived in Canada. Many descendants live today in all parts of the U.S. and Canada. This meeting is an excellent opportunity for descendants to learn more about their heritage and enjoy themselves at the same time. ADVERTISING DEADLINES ; LOCAL DISPLAY ADVERTISING !

RAAC brings early 1987 In January 1950, twin calves were born for the second consecutive year to a cow belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Guy Burke. In the same month in 1798, the town of Woodville was established by the General Assembly. These and other fascinating facts grace the pages of the 1987 calendar recently published by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). And for music lovers, there’s a wealth of trivial information on musicians from various backgrounds. Keep track throughout the year of the birth and death dates of your favorites, from Hank Williams to Dolly Parton (born January 19, 1946), from Ralph Stanley to Elvis. Owning this unusual calendar will keep the information so important to daily life in Rappahannock right at your fingertips. In February you’ll note the anniversary of the Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and Big Bopper plane crash over Clear Lake, Iowa, along with the occasion of dial telephones being installed in Rappahannock County. The trivia adds a light note to what is a serious fundraising effort by the local arts organization. Two professional photographers donated their services to photo k AMERICAN I CANCER SOCIETY' Help a friend quit graph, design and produce the calendar for RAAC. The end product is a fitting showcase for some of Rappahannock’s most beautiful buildings: the courthouse, Brookside, The Maples, Oak Hill, Greenwood, Mount Prospect, Montpelier, Ben Venue, the Roy House, Rose Hill, Mt. Salem Church and the Rappahannock Library. On the cover is a truly one-of-akind picture of the Inn, which, along with Country Manor and Faith Mountain Company, made the calendar possible with its patronage. The two photographers, Charles Tompkins and Henry Eastwood, have both had local exhibits, and both have extensive training and experience in commercial and artistic photography. The calendar they have produced shows their careful work and skill. Oversize and on highest quality paper, the 1987 RAAC calendar is available at the RACC Office and the Gay Street Theater and will be formally presented at this weekend’s live concert. i LEATHERCOAT Correction I Leathercoat’s Anniversary Celebration is Sunday, October 5, 1986 not October, 8 as previously published. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooc ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE IN THE IMPORTANT NOV. 4,1986, ELECTION?

Kristie Pendleton also shined in the baekcourt, racking up an impressive defensive combination of seven rebounds and five steals. Coach Leake reported that “We started off very slow and were down by five pbints at the half. The team really fought back in the third quarter. At one time we were down by 10 points, but by the end of the third quarter we were up by one.” The Panthers actually scored more field goals than did Stonewall Sporting Calendar For tickets and directions to these events please see the advertising information which may appear on these pages Sep. 24-28 Sep. 25 Sep. 27 Sep. 27 Sep. 27 Sep. 27 Sep. 28 Sep. 28 Sep. 28 Oct. 2 Oct. 4 Oct. 4 Oct. 4 Culpeper Dressage Classic, Commonwealth Park, Culpeper State Draft Horse and Mule Show, State Fairgrounds, Richmond $25,000 U.S. Cup Grand Prix, Commonwealth Park, Culpeper Hill School Horse Show, Foxcroft, Middleburg Old Dominion Draft Horse & Mule Day, State Fairgrounds, Richmond Schooling Show, November Hill Equestrian Center, Bristow Old Dominion Show Series, Tantallon Farm, Warrenton Foxfield Steeplechase Races, Foxfield Course, Charlottesville Hunter/Dressage Schooling Show, Stoney Lonesome Farm, Nokesville Leonard L.

Stonewall went 21 for 35 on freethrows, while Rappahannock sank only seven of 22 attempts at the foul line. “Overall, it was a hard-fought game. We learned a lot from it and we’re looking forward to playing our next game at Clarke County Thursday night.” The Rappahannock junior varsity girls also lost a tough game to Stonewall Jackson by the score of 30-20. Panther harriers victorious The Rappahannock High School cross-country teams continued to show the competition their heels by defeating AA-ranked Warden County on its home course, a 2.85 mile loop with a record of 16:38 set last year. The boys varsity team finished well ahead of the competition with 24 points to Warren County’s 31. Rappahannock’s Marley Hay and Doug Yeabower from Warren dueled for first place until Hay made his move on a small hill and pulled away to maintain a narrow lead for the rest of the race. Hay’s winning time of 17:18 bested Yeabower by a mere five seconds. Jonathan Watson (17:59) and Neil Burke (18:54) finished third and fourth. Rodney Grimsley, who began the season running 10th for the team, finished seventh overall and fourth for the Panthers in 19:43, making him the most improved runner for the meet, according to Coach Ann Spieker. John Dodson ran 9th overall, crossing the tape at 19:50. Eighth grader Matthew Eidson ran an impressive race, finishing sixth for the Rappahannock team in 20:43, although he ran unofficially. He is not eligible for varsity competition until he enters the ninth grade next year. Warren County was unable to field a full team in the girls race. The Rappahannock girls ran well, with Bonnie Grimsley (23:52), Denice Eidson (24:38), Kathy Dodson (25:15), Annette Mueller (25:56), Leslie Nichols (30:04) and Amy Bartlett (30:04) finishing in that order. Coach Spieker said that Denice Eidson had the most improved race, staying right up with Rappahannock’s number one runner, Bonnie Grimsley.

Real Estate Eileen M. Day realtor ;-irs COUNTER OFFERS You’re selling real estate. You have told a prospective buyer how much you want for your property, and he has delivered an offer to you. He says he wants to buy, but he won't pay as much as you want. Likewise, you won’t agree to sell for the figure the potential buyer says he is willing to pay. You would, however, sell for less than your original asking price. Now is the time for a counter offer. As with an offer, the best way to make a counter offer is in writing, setting out exactly what your new terms are. Nothing of significance should be left out. This means, in addition to the new price, such important items as how long your counter offer will be open and whether you are willing to provide some or all of the financing in order to obtain the price you want. You should spell out EXACTLY to what extent you are willing to engage in owner financing, including the interest rate and term of years for the repayment. The written counter offer should include a space for the buyer to sign his acceptance. Once he has signed, a legally binding contract is created.

Wakefield tops merit ranks Wakefield School in Huntly was informed last week that it has the highest percentage of National Merit Semifinalists in its senior class of any school, public and private, in Virginia. With four semifinalists out of a senior class numbering 28, Wakefield has a percentile of 14.3 percent, just slightly ahead of Norfolk Academy, which has 14 semifinalists in a class of 101 or 13.9 percent. By comparison, other area schools such as Fauquier High School and Culpeper County High School had one semifinalist each; Woodberry Forest, two, and Handley High School in Winchester, three. All of these schools have much larger senior classes than Wakefield, Reportedly, the best percentile in the nation was achieved by St. Anselm-Abbey School in Washington, D.C., which had a total of eight semifinalists out of a senior class of 23, or 34.8 percent. National Merit Semifinalists are the highest scorers in each state on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude/ National Merit Qualifying Test and represent less than one-half of one percent of a state’s secondary school graduating seniors. In Virginia this year 362 students from 119 schools qualified as semifinalists. The highest scorer in the state and the nation was Wakefield’s Sean Bennett, who achieved a perfect score on both the verbal and math sections of the examination. In addition to the four semifinalists, six other Wakefield seniors were named National Merit Commended Students, narrowly missing the higher semifinalist designation. In commenting on his students’ success, Wakefield headmaster William Lynn emphasized that while schools and families play an important role in National Merit success, it is the individual student who is being recognized for exceptional performance. When asked if he felt that Wakefield’s curriculum gave students an edge in the competition, Mr. Lynn replied that he does believe that large doses of vocabulary study, critical writing, analytical grammar and mathematical problem solving stand the student in good stead for the examination. “Obviously,” Mr. Lynn said, “scholastic ability, as well as family and community attitudes toward academic achievement, is also an important factor, but I honestly believe that any hardworking student of average abilities, given the right preparation and outside stimulus, can make the grade.” Mr. Lynn reported that for the past five years, Wakefield has been averaging about three Merit Semifinalists per year out of senior classes ranging from 25 to 30 students. • School lunch menus RCES September 29-October 4 Monday - Bean’s ‘n’ franks, French fries, pineapple & oranges, homemade biscuit, choice of milk.

PUBLIC HEARING The Department of Waste Management, Commonwealth of Virginia, has notified the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors that an application for a permit to operate a solid waste disposal system on the Lee partnership property near Massie’s Corner, has been received. The application, by Thomas E. Lee, James R. Lee, and Loretta S. lee, is to operate a sanitary landfill. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 10-270.1, Code of Virginia, the Board serves notice that a public hearing concerning this application will be held on Monday, October 6, 1986, in the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia, at ten o’clock a.m. All interested persons are invited to attend and make comment. Respectfully submitted, John W. McCarthy Administrative Assistant to the Board of Supervisors Watson commended on merit score Rappahannock County High School has been notified by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) of Evanston, 111., that Jonathan Andrew Watson has been designated a Commended Student in the 1987 National Merit Scholarship Program and has received a Letter of Commendation in recognition of outstanding academic promise. RCHS principal Robert T. Chappell announced that on the basis of performance on the qualifying test for the 32nd annual Merit Program Jon placed in the top 50,000 of more than one million participants. An officer of NMSC, which conducts the program, stated, “The very high test performance of the young men and women who are honored as Commended Students in the Merit Program is indicative of exceptional scholastic ability. We hope that NMSC’s recognition of these high school students will increase their motivation to make the best use of their talents and to develop the skills that will be needed by the future leaders of our nation. Being named a Commended Student in this keen competition is a credit to these young citizens as well as to their schools, which play a key role in their development.” Jonathan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Holly Pendleton of Sperryville, entered the current Merit Program by taking the PSAT/NMSQT in October 1985, when he was a junior. “RCHS is justifiably proud of Jonathan’s academic and many other accomplishments. We know that he will continue his strong leadership this year and into the future,” Mr. Chappell said.

Planners Continued from page 1 lation is“silly,” he maintained. Enabling legislation says what the county can do; local ordinances should specify how, he contended. As to the second amendment, Mr. Konick noted that he was the attorney in the case (again involving the contested Lozano subdivision) which brought the judge’s ruling and that Judge Robertson did not find Rappahannock’s right of appeal to be invalid. Instead, Mr. Konick said, the judge simply held that before appealing approval of a subdivision to the Circuit Court, a landowner must first appeal to the Board of Supervisors. “Such a mystery” “It’s such a mystery how these two items came up before the board,” Mr. Konick continued. “There are other provisions in Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance that are invalid, out of step with state law,” and those provisions were brought to the attention of the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission by former Zoning Administrator Evan McNear, Mr. Konick reported, specifically citing defects in the time limit for recording plats and the provision for family subdivisions. “They were never brought into accord with state law. . .The Planning Commission shouldn’t recommend laws to the supervisors to suit particular individuals,” he concluded. Proposed by Luke Phil Irwin, the only other speaker at Wednesday’s public hearing, said he didn’t object to adoption of the proposed amendments “if there’s no intent to weaken” the subdivision ordinance and if the amendments are being considered “strictly to conform with legislation and a judicial ruling. . .1 want the record to show why they were brought up in the first place, why they’re being considered at this time.” The amendments were recommended by Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, who also serves as legal advisor to the Board of Supervisors, replied Newbill Miller, the board’s representative on the Planning Commission. The amendment on subdivision ordinance exceptions “exactly parallels enabling legislation,” Mr. Miller noted. Decisions by the supervisors on granting subdivision ordinance exceptions “won’t be done on the buddy system,” he maintained. “The people who will be deciding to grant the exceptions to the subdivision ordinance are the same people who will vote to amend it. There’s nothing clandestine about it. . .1 don’t know where Mr. Konick gets his buddybuddy system from. He’s been around here long enough to know I don’t operate that way.” Mr. Miller said that he had discussed the proposed amendments with plannner Dick McNear. “My impression is that he’s not opposed; that he thought it would be okay.” However, Mr. Miller did concede that the supervisors should hold an advertised public hearing before acting on an application for an exception to the subdivision ordinance. And as to the second proposed amendment, he asked for “more time to think.” When he read the proposed amendment on exceptions, Commissioner Werner Krebser said, “Unusual jumped right into my face. . .If someone is pregnant or someone has a cold, is that unusual?” Adopting the proposed amendment “could lead to a certain amount of unfairness. . .We’d be leaving ourselves open to some awful problems,” Dr. Krebser said. The ordinance should include criteria for granting an exception to subdivision requirements he maintained. “Do we have to vote on this tonight?” asked Commissioner David Fannon, also asking for more time. “This came as a surprise to me.” “If the Planning Commission wants to think about it,” the supervisors can delay a vote on the proposed amendments, Mr. Miller said. "We should think about it. . .maybe try to rew'ord it,” agreed Commissioner John Clark. The vote was unanimous to request the supervisors to delay their decision on the proposed amendments to give the Planning Commission time for further study and a recommendation. In other action, the commissioners: .• Directed John McCarthy to draft a new' subdivision ordinance for them to review, as requested by the Board of Supervisors. • Voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant special use permits for a bed and breakfast business on Route 617 and a woodworking shop near Amissville. Landfill Continued from page 1 recommended that they revise their application to cover 25-30 acres. “If they’ve got to go to all the expense and trouble, they ought to get enough to last for a while,” he said. According to the consulting engineer, 25-30 acres would provide landfill capacity for about 35 years, Mr. Forman reported. But if the larger area is okayed, waste disposal operations would be permitted only in stages, he noted. “The consultant would study the whole site and then draw up a plan for five, six, seven acres. . .enough for 9-12 years.” When capacity is reached for that portion, another plan for another area would be submitted to the state for approval, Mr. Forman explained. According to their permit application, the Lees intend to use the landfill for disposal of 14 tons of trash per day, including: • municipal solid waste, • inert waste (bricks, concrete rubble), • brush, tree trimmings and stumps (for which they will also seek a bum permit), • sludge, • tires. Buffer zone considered According to the zoning administrator, the proposed site is heavily wooded. “And Mr. Lee is talking about maintaining a 100 -oot buffer zone of trees around the actual dump,” he reported. Mr. McCarthy noted, however, that the consulting engineer will design the landfill and conduct the required geological and hydrological studies. “He may specify that the buffer zone should be greater.” The consultant will also determine whether access to the landfill should be from the Fodderstack Road or Route 211, Mr. McCarthy said. The supervisors have scheduled a public hearing on the Lees’ application for their October board meeting. Following that hearing, the supervisors will recommend to the state whether the site should be approved as a sanitary landfill. However, as Mr. McCarthy noted at an earlier hearing on a debris landfill application, the state is not bound to follow the supervisors’ recommendation. But certainly weight will be given to the board’s finding, Mr. Forman said. If the supervisors recommend that the site be approved as a sanitary landfill, then the next step will be the geological and hydrological studies conducted by the consulting engineer, Mr. Forman said, estimating that the studies will take a month. Another month will also be required for the engineer’s plan plus another three to four months for the state agencies to review both the studies and the plan before any permit is granted, the landfill supervisor reported. “And remember,” he cautioned, “there’s always the possibility that the hydrological and geological studies will show a problem. . .It’s always a guesstimate when you’re dealing with Mother Nature.” # { |NUGGETS OF TRUTH * 0 A 0 A By REV.

Firefighter Continued from page 1 we became comfortable with the technique. Saturday afternoon: The Maze After lunch, we received our first experience in a simulated fire environment: the Fairfax County Mobile Teaching Lab, more familiarly known as “The Maze”. It’s a converted moving van outfitted with sliding panels, long narrow corridors with low ceilings, shafts, ladders, an attic, utility boxes and crawlspaces to provide several hundred feet of obstacle training using the breathing apparatus. It is pitch-black inside to teach students to use their hands as their eyes. The instructors observe the students from a corridor running the length of the van’s centerline, offering advice and encouragement to anyone who has a problem. “We can get you out in seconds,” Mr. Thompson explained. “But we’ll do it only as a last resort. Before we pull you out, we’ll try to talk you through whatever problem you are having. There is nothing inside this van that you might not experience sometime, somewhere during your fire service career. We want you to learn how to deal with it.” Waiting inside the entry door, bent on one knee, breathing rapidly, sweating with the weight of 60 pounds of equipment, heart racing with an apprehension of the unknown, unable to see a thing, I wondered “What am I doing here?” But when the “go” buzzer sounded, I crawled into the passageway, determined to conquer the maze. Down a corridor, sliding on my belly, tank bumping the ceiling, I felt along the walls and floor with my hands. Suddenly, the floor disappeared. I remembered what the instructors drilled into our heads: “Every box has six sides. There will always be two open, the way you came in and the way you go out. If you can’t find an opening high on the walls, feel lower.” Finally I found what I was “looking” for - an opening about six inches below the floor level on the left wall. I snaked my way around and found myself in another crawlway which ended in a dead end - until I felt what turned out to be a ladder on one wall. Up I went, through a trapdoor into an attic, complete with ceiling rafters instead of a floor. I crawled across the rafters and an instructor told me that somewhere in the room was an electrical circuit box and a gas main with a shut-off valve. My task was to locate the boxes, determine whether the service was on or off, and if on, PLUMBING & HEATING SUPPLIES 32 years experience in helping homeowners with their problems!

As I finished shutting off the utilities, I ran out of air in my backpack. I quelled a momentary impulse to tear off the mask; the instructor repeated the emergency breathing technique, assuring me that I was close to the end and could make it out. After a few deep breaths to calm myself, I crawled along several more passages, down a stairway, up and down an inclined ramp, wondering at every turn how much further I actually had to go. Finally I saw a glimmer of light. I pushed open a door and found myself on the back ramp of the trailer, feeling that I couldn’t remember ever being so glad to see daylight. Sunday: The smokehouse The class spent Sunday morning learning to handle the one and onehalf inch hoses and adjustable nozzles used by the modern fire service. These devices are a far cry from the brass nozzles of days past, which delivered only a straight stream of water. Modern nozzles can do that, but for “direct attack” on a fire the technology has advanced considerably. Instead of directing a stream of water on the fire, a fine spray similar to the mist from a garden hose is directed to the area above the fire. The nozzleman whips the hose in a clockwise direction to spread the fine water particles into a wide area, then shuts off the water. As the water contacts the hot air it turns into steam, each droplet of water creating 50 parts steam. The steam settles onto the fire, choking off its oxygen and smothering it from above. The technique requires skill, coordination and communication from the members of the hose team, because when the nozzleman shuts off the water a steam blanket rolls over the entire room, and anyone not ducked down on the floor could be burned, even through their heavy protective gear. After a trial run into the smokehouse with “just a little smoke,” as Chief Huff nonchalantly explained, the instructors lit several fires in the corners of two rooms of the smokehouse - a cinderblock building with a reinforced concrete roof. Fed with scrap lumber, hay and styrofoam cups, smoke was soon rolling out the windows and heat waves rippled off the flat roof, shimmering in the afternoon sun. We grabbed the hose, filed through the door, dropped to our knees and began crawling, feeling with one hand and dragging the hose with the other. Frequently we paused, listening for the fire, and the labored breathing of the group was easy to hear as well. The nozzleman shouted “I see fire!” and word was passed back along the line. I barely heard it as a muffled shout coming from inside my partner’s Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088 - Office SPERRYVILLE, Recently Renovated, lovely 2 story home on 1 landscaped acre with town sewer, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, family room, living room, modern kitchen, deck. $79,000.

With all the smoke, the fire was visible only as a dim glow until we got close to it. The heat, however, was evident long before we saw the fire. The purpose of the maze training became obvious, because only the immediate area around the fire was illuminated. The rest of the building was black as night. Chief Huff had the group stand straight up to experience the temperature difference between floor and ceiling. As hot as it was close to the floor, it was cool compared to the ceiling. After pausing a moment to become accustomed to the environment, Chief Huff directed our attack on the fire. Each person took a turn on the nozzle, and the steam’s effect on the fire was immediate. We “kissed the floor” as the steam blanket rolled across the room, the hot moist air biting at the tiny areas of exposed skin on my neck. Water dripped off our helmets and down our masks as the steam condensed on our relatively cool equipment. After four trips inside the smokehouse, the progress of our team in handling the hose and our increased ability to move around inside the building was obvious. It was also apparent that my partners and I were feeling more familiar and at ease with the breathing apparatus. The labored breathing I had heard earlier was replaced by regular, deep breaths. It also had become easier, at least I imagined, to work inside, although the heat was still incredible. Our instructors reminded us, however, as we reviewed the day’s session during a wrap-up after the last group came out, that the situation we faced was not the same as most fires. “You had two small, controlled fires - the floor was stable, there were no stairs or doors,” Chief Huff pointed out. “In a real fire situation you will be completely unfamiliar with the structure.” There will be furniture, the rugs may be burning, or part of the floor may have collapsed, he added. “You’re also going to have to knock down the fire, and then, instead of coming out, go on to the next area where fire is showing; or up the stairs checking for extension (other areas where the fire may have spread).” Scott Chamberlain, Captain of Company 3, said that “vision counts for a lot when you’re first starting out. But remember, nine times out of 10 the fire will be at night - and if the lights are still burning the first thing you’re going to do is shut off the power. It can be confusing as hell. I once saw a guy do a heck of a job on a mirror - he never realized the fire was behind him.” ARB Continued from page 3 the paperwork now, and that the board plans to confer with Mr. DeBergh. Mrs. Willis said that she would like to see the blueprints for the project, adding that it is her feeling that the cabin “should have french drains or wooden gutters. ” The board approved a request from Dr. Bill Young, representing the board of the Rappahannock County, Library, to place a lamp matching the existing lights on the front walk next to the library sign. Dr. Young said that the light would be equipped with a time-delay shutoff so that the last person leaving the library would be able to see the steps. The board approved the request. Dr. Young also informed the ARB that the library had been approached by the federal government about handicapped access to the building. He said that the solution would probably involve some type of ramp, and that “It will have to be approved. The board (of trustees) is struggling with the issue.” In other business, the ARB discussed the need to inform the public about the board’s function, and the requirements for property owners residing within the historic district to file application and receive the approval from the ARB for any modifications to their property which are visible from the street. “There are a lot of questions; be- - cause people are doing things - they see others doing it but they get called on it,” Mr. Thomasson observed. “People are not applying for permits - they’re just doing things like they always did. “(It’s the) new people getting caught because they’re being looked at - the long-standing violations continue.” Mrs. Miller suggested that “Someone’s got to be the buzzard - to bring the violations to light.” Mr. Gooch suggested that copies of the Historic District Ordinance, enacted August 14, 1985, be placed in the library so that residents who work elsewhere and cannot go to the Clerk’s Office during regular business hours will have access to them. The board members agreed with Mr. Gooch’s suggestion. Mrs. Willis added that the town council had also approved a request to purchase reference books on house restoration and coloration, and that they would be donated to the county library. Eileen M.
