Atkins won election to the post on Tuesday, handily defeating challengers Phillip L. Smith and Mollie Dennis Welch. Ms. Atkins received a total of 1,265 votes, 70 percent of the 1,796 ballots cast county-wide in the commissioner’s race. Mr. Smith finished second with 301 votes, followed by Mrs. Welch’s 230. “I just want to thank everyone for the vote of confidence. We will continue to work hard in the office — to continue to serve the public,” Ms. Atkins said. “It’s great to have a successful ending to many long hard hours of work. It was worth the effort.” The election for Commissioner of Revenue was the only contested race on the county slate this year. Republican Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. was unopposed for election to a second term representing the Seventh Congressional District. The Congressman received 1,502 votes in Rappahannock County, or 83.7 percent of the total ballots cast. Mr. Slaughter’s campaign manager, H. George White III, said that the count was “incredible ... far and away our best county showing. We’re very pleased with the result.” Mr. White said that the total represented 123 votes more than Mr. Slaughter received from Rappahannock County in 1984. Mr. Slaughter barely carried Rappahannock that year with 53.1 percent of the vote, a total of 1,379 ballots. He added that in the 17 other D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER BEVERLY S. ATKINS J.NEWBILL MILLER counties in the Seventh District, Mr. Slaughter was averaging “about 50 percent.” District totals for the Congressional election were not available Wednesday morning. Congressman Slaughter said that “I am certainly grateful for the strong showing of support for me by the voters of the Seventh District. I’m very pleased with the large turnout in my behalf — especially in light of the fact that I had no opposition on the ballot...” “I shall continue to represent the people of the Seventh District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives to the best of my ability,” the Congressman added. J. Newbill Miller, also running unopposed, won election to the Board of Supervisors from Hampton District. “I feel flattered that so many people voted for me,” Mr. Miller said. “This is a controversial time, and I appreciate the support very much.” Asked about his plans for the future, Mr. Miller replied, “I’m just going to continue as I have for 25 years — representing the people to the best of my ability.” Mr. Miller received 312 votes out of a total of 373 votes cast in Hampton District. “Three hundred and twelve just tickles the devil out of me,” Mr. Miller commented. Four amendments to the state constitution were also on the ballot Tuesday. Three were approved by voters in Rappahannock, while one was defeated. Question One, which would allow registered voters who had not voted in four years to remain on the registration list if the voter requests it in writing, was approved by a wide margin: 1,197 yes votes and 475 against. Statewide, according to the Associated Press, with 96 percent of the precincts reporting Wednesday Continued on page 16 Board, residents seek action on Rt. 522 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Their cure is our problem,” contended Supervisor Nelson Lane after hearing reports that truck traffic on winding Route 522 in Rappahannock has at least quadrupled since Route 17 in Fauquier was closed to big rigs in November 1984. According to Mr. Lane, the highway department didn’t solve a problem by closing the road in Fauquier, a move taken in response to public pressure following a spate of accidents. “They just shifted the location of the problem.” “They should lift the ban on Route 17. Then we’d lose 70 percent of the truck traffic on Route 522,” said Supervisor Charles Estes. “Or they should show us the same courtesy they showed the people in Fauquier County and close Route 522 to through trucks. Under the law, we’re all entitled to the same protection,” Mr. Lane insisted. Flint Hill resident Hugo Sinnott put the truck issue before the board at Monday’s meeting. The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation counted 45 tractor-trailer trucks per day going over Chester Gap Mountain on Route 522 in 1984, Mr. Sinnott reported. By spring of 1986, that number had more than doubled to 105 per day; by October, it had doubled again to 210. “I counted 288 in one day last week,” the Flint Hill resident announced. Some of the trucks have no lights on the rear; some of the drivers have forced other motorists off the road. Last week alone, Rappahannock’s emergency log listed five accidents on Route 522, Mr. Sinnott told the supervisors. “Something has to be done!” he insisted, asking the board to petition the Highway Department to ban through trucks except those making deliveries in the county. “It might prevent one of our school buses from being hit . . . We’re pushing our luck on that as far as the children go ... I understand that the Highway Department will look favorably on this resolution . . . That’s what I was told.” Earlier in the meeting, Supervisor Charles Estes reported on his lobbying efforts at a recent regional Highway Department meeting to consider funding for critical improvement projects. “I think they’re going to step up (work on Route) 17 so they can take the truck traffic off 522 and 211 ... I think the time frame will be pushed up,” Mr. Estes told his fellow board members. “I think we’re making headway,” Mr. Lane assured the angry Flint Continued on page 16 1 ruck ban requested at highway hearing By DON DEL ROSSO Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer Hugo and Catherine Sinnott think the state should ban all through truck traffic on Route 522 in Rapphannock, the site of four highway fatalties during the last year and five auto accidents in a sevenday span recently. The couple, who have monitored traffic on the narrow and winding road during the last year, asked state highway officials to consider the ban at a pre-allocation hearing Monday for secondary and unpaved roads. The Sinnotts told Transportation Commissioner Ray Pethtel and Transportation Board member Constance Kinchloe (Culpeper District), who presided over the meeting at the Transportation Department’s Culpeper District Office, that Route 522 has become increasingly unsafe because of the tractor-trailer ban on Route 17 north in Warrenton. Since the Route 17 ban was imposed in November 1984, truck traffic on Route 522 has increased dramatically* they said. Del. Raymond (Andy) Guest (RRappahannock/Fauquier/Culpeper) agreed that something had to be done about Route 522. “There is a definite problem in Rapphannock,” the delegate told the commissioner and Mrs. Kinchloe. Mr. Sinnott called the situation a “dire emergency” that’s at the point “where something’s got to be done... I do wish something would be done immediately.” Mrs. Sinnott said she is especially concerned about the steep decline from Chester Gap Mountain where the road curves and is 19.5 feet wide. She said the highway lacks adequate signs indicating schools and road entrances and generally suffers from poor visibility. Mrs. Sinnott contends Route 522 is more dangerous than Route 17 north from Warrenton to Marshall. Like her husband, she termed the Route 522 situation an “emergency situation” that required a ban on through truck traffic. Continued on page 16 Brown pleads guilty to murder In a supnse move last Friday, Harold Voyd Brown, 39, Box 118, Syria, pleaded guilty to charges of second degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the slaying of Aurelious W. Timmons on June 7. The guilty plea came during a hearing on motions before Judge W. Shore Robertson prior to Brown’s trial, scheduled for today and tomorrow in Circuit Court in Rappahannock County. According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Brown entered into a plea agreement with the state. In return for the guilty plea to the two charges, Mr. Luke will recommend a sentence of 15 years in the state penitentiary; 13 years on the murder charge and two years for the firearm conviction. Mr. Luke said that Judge Robertson has set sentencing for Jan. 12, 1987, at 1 p.m. At that time the judge will receive a presentencing report on Brown. Mr. Luke added that Judge Robertson is free to accept or deny the plea agreement, and that if he rejects it, Brown would probably stand trial. Mr. Timmons Was struck in the right side of the head and neck by a 12-gauge shotgun blast as he stood on the front porch of his home on Rt. 231, 2.2 miles north of the Madison County line. The shooting occurred about 10 p.m. Saturday, June 7. He was pronounced dead at Culpeper Memorial Hospital a short time later. A state-wide bulletin naming Brown as the suspect sought for questioning in the shooting was broadcast within hours. He eluded an extensive manhunt covering southern Rappahannock and Madison counties during the weekend but turned himself in to Lt. W. R. Jenkins of the Madison County Sheriffs Department late Monday morning, June 9. Brown has been in custody in Page County, and more recently in Rappahannock, since his arrest. Mr. Luke said that he will remain in custody until his sentencing. Veteran’s Day closings The following businesses and county offices will be closed Tuesday, Veteran’s Day: The Rappahannock National Bank in Washington and the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Flint Hill.

The session was initiated by a letter from orchardist George Sharp delivered to the Board of Supervisors’ meeting Monday by Hampton District representative Newbill Miller. Expressing concern over the size of the county’s deer herd, Mr. Sharp asked the supervisors to petition the Game Commission to double the number of days in the deer season in which animals of either sex can be taken and increase the bag limit from two deer to three with the provision that one of the three must be an antlerless deer. According to Supervisor Miller, the orchardist consulted with Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston who reportedly concurs on the recommendation for liberalized bag limits and hunting season. Chairman Hubert Gilkey suggested that the proposal be taken to the Game Commission’s February meeting when regulations on the 1987 hunting seasons will be established. “Now is the time to decide what we want to go to Richmond with,” he added. A quick check around the table found the rest of the board members in favor of the changes proposed by Mr. Sharp. “This has been recommended by one citizen and the game warden,” interjected Carson Johnson. “The game warden is put here to enforce the laws. He’s not here to make recommendations on what the laws should be, The other 5,000 of us in Rappahannock should have a chance for input.” Supervisor Miller noted that he had directed the orchardist to ask the county game warden if the deer herd could tolerate the additional hunting pressure; that Jim Bankston had not recommended any legislation. However, the supervisors agreed to schedule a public hearing before sending a proposal to the Game Commission. “It’s another fun meeting to look forward to!” Supervisor Nelson Lane said facetiously, predicting that the courtroom will be packed with opposing factions on the hunting issues. “But it’s a service we owe our constituents.” In addition to hearing opinions on liberalization of bag limits and season, Mr. Lane asked that the supervisors also declare open season for comments on other hunting issues - specifically hunting with dogs and illegal road hunting. With a wide open agenda, the board members agreed they needed narrow rules of order. For the public hearing, those intending to speak will be asked to sign up when they arrive, they will be required to speak from a podium and they will be limited to three minutes each. Rappahannock Newt photo/Lou Hatter WENDY STRINGFELLOW ADDED TWO points to her game total of 10 with this lay-up during the Panthers game against Page County last Thursday. Despite a strong effort, Rappahannock lost its last regular season game 64 to 44.

Rappahannock Hunt holds opening meet Bv LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Hunt refused to let threatening skies postpone the season’s first foxhunt for the second time on Saturday. The traditional blessing of the hounds was held on the lawn of Hawthorn, home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Lane, who hosted the opening meet. Old Rag Moun-, tain, which dominates the vista, was the only onlooker missing the ceremony, its craggy summit obscured by low-hanging clouds. But the members of the hunt, which is renowned for its competitive enthusiasm, refused to let the weather dampen their spirits and several participants reported a satistying hunt through the pastures and woods of the F. T. Valley. Larry Lehew, Master of the Foxhounds, said that the riders enjoyed three good runs, and viewed four different foxes during the three-hour hunt. “We ran like the devil all day,” Mr. Lehew said. “It was one of the best opening meets - as far as sport - that we’ve had in years.” Huntsman Oliver Brown reported that the damp weather did not make for ideal conditions. “You could smell the scent (of the fox) on the horses,” he said, explaining that the scent was rising instead of clinging to the ground, making it difficult for the hounds to hold the trail. The sport of foxhunting, which originated in medieval Europe, has changed little since it began. The blessing of the hounds, a tradition at the season’s first meet, is also steeped in history. i ne prayer wnicn Maunce Herndon, Senior Warden of Trinity Episcopal Church, recited in blessing before the hunt, is translated from the original French. It is attributed to Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, and has been used in blessing the hounds, horses and hunters for many years. It reads, in part: Hea r our humble prayer, O God, for nil animals, especially those in whose companionship we find joy and help. We entreat for them thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them, we ask a heart of compassion gentle hands and kindly words. Make us all to be trv£ friends of animals a nd to share the blessings of the merciful. Bless, 0 Lord, riders and horses and hounds that run. In lheir running' bless and shield these riders from da nger to life and limb. May thy children who ride and thy creatures who carry them come safely to the close of this day. It was in England, during the reign of Queen Victoria, that the opening meet, and the blessing of the hounds, became a social occasion. Prince Albert, the Queen’s consort, was fond of grand ceremonies, with their attendant splendor, and he instituted the practice of inviting non-hunters to join the riders for a "stirrup cup” before the hunt began. After many, long hard hours of work. November 4th has come and gone. At this point I would like to thank everyone for their support as well as let them know that we will continue to work hard at our post. AGAIN, many thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Sincerely, Mum } sms i. i. Lay-a-way Available 131 E. Main St. Front Royal, Va. 635-2219 Rappahannock News photo /Lou Hatter MAURICE HERNDON, SENIOR WARDEN of Trinity Church in Washington, blesses the hounds before the first meet of the Rappahannock Hunt, held at Hawthorn last Saturday. The “stirrup cup” was a cup of whiskey drunk both to ward off the morning chill and steel the riders’ nerves against the excitement of the impending hunt. That tradition, too, has survived to the present day. The Rappahannock Hunt has a proud tradition, as well. It dates to 1926, and can claim among its former Masters of Foxhounds Jack DeBergh and James W. Fletcher. The hunt has gained an international reputation, mostly owing to the “no holds barred” style which has characterized its members through the years. Mr. Lehew recounted an instance during one of his first outings with the hunt, as he negotiated a steep downhill. “I was scared,” he remembered, explaining that the mountainous terrain takes some getting used to. “I looked back, and there were two ladies - right behind me, and gaining. I figured that if they could do it I’d better get going.” Mr. Lehew added that the Rap aui mu mil mu >11?

He was known for his fearless riding style. He was not afraid of anything. ” Not only the riders of the Rappahannock Hunt are well-known. Rappahannock is known as “the cradle of American foxhunting,” according to Oliver Brown. The American Foxhound, bred especially for foxhunting, was originally bred by the Bywaters family in Rappahannock County. Mr. Brown had 31 hounds on the trail last Saturday. He explained that he looks for three things in a good foxhound: (1) a good nose, to pick up the fox’s scent; (2) a strong, deep voice, which makes it easier to hear and thus to find in thick woods; and (3) “smarts,” a dog with intelligence, which makes it easier to train. The huntsman said that the amount of training varies from dog to dog. “Some of them take to it the very first day, others I have spent a year training. A few are never able to make the grade to join the pack. ” He explained that the pack consists of two types of hounds, one being the “strike hounds” who take the lead and find the fox. They are the “hardest hunters,” according to Mr. Brown. Then there are the “pack hounds,” which make up the bulk of the pack. They fall in behind the leaders, Mr. Brown said. He added that there is no particular factor that makes for a good hound. “It’s not a matter of age, or anything. It’s more the temperament of the individual hound.” On Saturday, the hounds did an excellent job, Mr. Brown reported. Given the weather conditions, the huntsman said, “We had a very good day.” Several new members were accepted into the hunt on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. William Dobrovir, Dr. Amos Willis, Bonnie Vaden, Caroline Davis and Brian Fitzgerald all were officially welcomed as members of the hunt at the opening meet. The hunt will continue to meet on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays through March, weather permitting.

Borrowing * language directly from enabling legislation, the first amendment gives the supervisors authority to grant an exception to provisions of the subdivision ordinance in “unusual situations” or when strict adherence would result in “substantial injustice or hardship.” The board had that authority under the existing ordinance but conditions under which an exception could be granted were outlined with1 greater specificity and only certain regulations were eligible for exceptions. “The new language gives you more discretion to grant exceptions IF you want to,” noted Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, legal advisor to the board. Following the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the board added a requirement for a public hearing on applications for exceptions to the subdivision ordinance with written notice of the hearing to be mailed to all adjoining landowners. Supervisor Nelson Lane called for a further addition, suggesting that exceptions be granted only if ■ the departure could be made without destroying the intent of the subdivision ordinance. But after a whispered consultation with Supervisors Charles Estes and J. R. Latham, Mr. Lane abandoned his position and made the vote on adoption unanimous. The second proposed amendment came without a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Newbill Miller, the board’s representative on the commission, explained that the planners had not Continued on page 16 ‘ Park announces closing of Skyline Drive during night Portions of Skyline Drive will again be closed to vehicles during certain night hours during the upcoming hunting season, Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Ronald N. Wrye announced, due to the illegal hunting pressure which occurs along the Drive during hunting season. From November 9 through January 3, 1987, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31) and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105), will be closed daily between dusk and 8 a.m. The section of the Drive between Thornton Gap (U.S. 211) and Swift Run Gap (U.S. 33) will remain open 24 hours a day, weather permitting. Superintendent Wrye said, “By closing portions of the Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase hunter contacts along the Park boundary.” The superintendent also said, “The Park has a reward program to; assist in combating illegal hunting within the Park.” A reward will bepaid to any person who furnishes information which leads to the con vie-. tion of anyone who hunts, transports . or attempts to transport illegally, taken wildlife within Shenandoah National Park. The identity of all persons furnishing information will be kept strictly confidential, and the person does not have to reveal his name. Shenandoah National Park was set aside as a preserve where wildlife can prosper and be protected for ’ all generations. “This gift to all of us ' is being threatened by poachers, and' we need your support,” Mr. Wrye', said.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6,1986 Editorial Just deserts Judge Carlton Penn recently sentenced a young man who pleaded guilty to two burglaries in Amissville to four years in the Youthful Offenders Program of the Virginia Department of Corrections. In pronouncing the sentence, Judge Penn overruled the pre-sentencing report’s recommendation of probation, which had also been sought by the young man’s attorney. The young man had no prior record, and leniency had been urged by both the probation officer and his counsel. Judge Penn disagreed. Pronouncing the crimes “despicable”, Judge Penn noted that in choosing elderly, infirm victims, both of whom lived alone, “you didn’t pick on someone your own size... First offenders,” he added, “should not always get probation.” We agree. This situation was repugnant. The defendants were teenagers, who described the breaking and entering of an elderly woman’s home as “a trophy hunt.” In the other case, both the victim and the perpetrators testified that they were “friends,” the victim adding that “I’ve known (him) since he was bom... he fished in my pond.” Surely, the argument will be made that sentencing a x young man with no record of trouble with the law to prison will serve no rehabilitative purpose - that it would be better to allow him to continue to work and attempt to rehabilitate himself within society. There may be merit in that argument. Sometimes, however, examples need to be set. Rappahannock County is one of those rapidly vanishing -places where people still do not lock their houses at night, where some even leave their keys in their cars. Residents do not fear walking the streets of Washington, or Flint Hill, or Sperryville after dark. Unlike most of the world, there is trust here. Those youthful burglars violated that trust. By his action in sentencing the young man, Judge Penn served notice that scoundrels who violate that trust will not be let off with a slap on the wrist, a finger wagged in the face and an admonition “never do that again.” If Judge Penn’s stem pronouncement causes other would-be miscreants to reconsider their schemes, some good will have come from a thoroughly contemptible affair. .Mandates not a guarantee for special education BY KELLEY BRANDT - Rappahannock News Contributing Writer ~r Mary is eight years old. Her IQ is ' 54. She attends a special school for * the mentally retarded where she re* ceives training in daily living skills < and academic subjects. Mary loves ' school, and her parents report she ; has blossomed since starting the ' first grade two years ago. * Tommy is nine years old. He suf' fers from dyslexia, a learning disabi» lity making it difficult to read. Test l results show that he should be 5 placed in a class for the learning dis; abled, but the appropriate learning » disability class at Tommy’s school is * full. Tommy is provided with a tutor *; two periods each day. The remain» der of the time he is left to fend for ! himself in a regular classroom. i Tommy is frustrated and disruptive, v These two children have some* thing in common. They are both elii gible for special education under I; federal and state law. However, J • Mary’s school is in compliance with / the law and Tommy’s is not. Why should those of us who do *. not have a handicapped child care |! whether proper special education be *1 made available to Virginia children j who need it? One reason is simple | economics. There are approximately * i 127,000 children eligible for special «' education services in Virginia. I; These children are 127,000 future adults who, if provided with approJ • priate services now, will be less de| • pendent on society later on. * The short term consequences of *; Tommy’s educational program may I not sound severe, but they are »; merely a sign of things to come. The * longer term results can include emoI tional disturbance, juvenile delinj quency and unemployment. t John Noble, former assistant f commissioner of the state Departf ment of Mental Health and Mental * Retardation, notes that handicapped * children who do not receive early inl i tervention are less likely to be “normalized” into society as adults and that taxpayers will bear the cost in the form of institutionalization, daycare programs and unemployment. Given that it costs the state at least $35,000 a year to institutionalize a handicapped person, special education is remarkably cost effective. Public Law 94-142 and corresponding Virginia regulations guarantee each handicapped child between the ages of two and 22 a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. The law requires the local school district to prepare an individualized education plan based on the student’s unique needs and provides for parental participation. On paper, this was a mtqor victory for handicapped children. Parents slept better knowing that their children were protected by federal legislation. Little did they know they would have to work as hard to enforce the law as they did to ensure its passage. More than 10 years since the enactment of the law it is apparent that many local school districts are still not complying with the legislation. This is not to say that Public Law 94-142 has not had an impact on special education in Virginia. The situaJ tion is much improved. But particularly in light of Gov. Gerald Baliles’ recent emphasis on excellence in education, it is a shame that many parents must fight so hard to obtain services to which their children are entitled. The reality is that special education is an investment which pays off for all citizens, not just handicapped children and their parents.

V___ Letters to the editor Still upset To the editor: Even though I no longer teach at RCHS, it still upsets me when I read one of Mr. Robert Eastham’s letters to the editor. For over 10 years facts have been justifying the need for capital improvement at the high school and Mr. Eastham himself has been among those trumping up reasons to stop the progress necessary, to the detriment of the students in his county. The following is a point by point re-? sponse to his letter: “1. School Enrollment:” Thirteen years ago when I began teaching at RCHS, the number of students enrolled was much greater than the number for which the facilities were designed, and no change over those years have removed that deficiency. “2. An updated price tag:” Before the building project is begun I am sure the cost will be known. Please Mr. Eastham, do not argue price as a reason for not moving ahead. If you had voted years ago for the expansion, the cost would have been much less. Capital improvement is necessary and the county will find the money now as it could have 10 years ago. One should not merely live on an inheritance, but one must work for future needs making the necessary changes in his life. “3. Future population numbers:” Again, capital improvement is necessary now, for present population, as it was 10 years ago and will be 10 years from now. The same argument was given before and changes have not removed the need. “4. Accreditation standards:” Mr. Eastham you need only read the report of the accreditation committee recommending the improvements in the building plan. “5. Course offerings:” Students advancing to college must take such courses as physics and chemistry and as most high schools now offer calculus it is in- > creasingly more difficult for college students to compete in mathematics related courses without first learning those concepts in high school. “6. State mandates requiring more space:” A handicapped physical education space is only one of those mandates published in the past newspaper articles. Mr. Eastham need just ask the superintendent of schools for a copy of his rationale sheet listing what were quoted to be “factual rather than judgemental needs.” Perhaps it is useless to convince Mr. Eastham, but if anyone still has doubts after the past 10 years of justifying facts brought to light, I challenge you to speak with the School Board and gain factual answers to your questions, rather than listening to the false generalizations of a few members of this county more interested in their pocketbooks than in the welfare of the children needing their attention. DON BOMBERGER Etlan RCHS expansion defended i o tne editor: Please let me respond to the deliberately misleading letter by Robert Eastham last week. As Mr. Eastham well knows the plan for expanding the facilities at the high school are not proposed because our high school population is growing or is expected to grow, but because the high school plant is not adequate for the students it is now serving, and without improvements never will be adequate no matter how our school population shrinks. We have over 400 students expected to eat lunch in a cafeteria that theoretically can seat 90. In fact the cafeteria can barely seat 60. We have office and audio-visual equipment for the library stored in space needed for student study and book display because no guidance offices were included in the high school and those have taken the library office and storage space. We have students taking biology and earth science, two courses we claim are lab sciences in trying to meet state mandates, but the classrooms for these courses are not laboratories. There are other inadequacies at the high school because the building was not designed right the first time, but I will mention only one other. We have the only known gym with two center lines. The playing court for basketball is short several feet and the end lines are dangerously ir 'MssaBmmmmk close to the walls. So why build a so-called “basketball superdome?” A 750-seat gymnasium is hardly a “superdome.” It might make attending games more enjoyable to have adequate seating. It will certainly be less of an embarrasment for our students, when we don’t have referees explaining to visiting teams how the two center lines work. Our students won’t have to be embarassed about the locker facilities we offer visiting teams, and our graduates will be able to invite their entire families to see them graduate. But, of course, as Mr. Eastham well knows, the main reason for building a new gymnasium is to free up space in the existing gymnasium for an expansion of the core facilities of the school, especially the cafeteria. The temporary classrooms will have to be replaced fairly soon. The plans call for replacing them with permanent classrooms partly in space from the exisiting gymnasium. Completion of this plan will not mean Rappahannock has a first-class high school plant. It will be barely adequate. After all these years of delay which have seen the doubling of the cost of expansion, don’t our current and coming high school students at least deserve barely adequate? SHARON KILPATRICK Woodville An angry citizen x o me editor: I just read the October 23rd article on the truck ban on Rt. 522, that stated statistics on the switching of tractor-trailers from Rt. 17 to Rt. 522. While it gave the Commissioner’s and Senator’s and several other points of view, I don’t believe that it gave the angry citizen’s point of view. I, Alex Smith of Huntly, Va., am just that citizen. Most of the people in your article talked about doing something in the future, but if more people supported the ban some of those things might actually get done. I have seen it all happen right in front of my eyes. There have been three recent wrecks involving tractor-trailers that I could see from my very own house. One of these involved the deaths of relatives of some very good friends. I live in fear of the trucks in the morning and afternoon. In the mornings I have to help my parents get out of the driveway by continuously telling them if anyimng is coming down tne steep Chester Gap hill, and even then I have to squint through bushes. In the afternoons I ride the school bus home, and it is obvious that the bus driver has the same problem. Lastly I would like to ask you a question. You said that there have not been enough accidents to warrant the banning of trucks. I would just like to know how many dead people do you need to make a road safe. ALEXANDER SMlTTH Huntly (Ed. note: The statistics cited in the article were provided by the Virginia Department of Hiahways and Transportation. The decision not to ban trucks on Rt. 522 “due to the low number of truck-related accidents” was made by Ray D. Pethtel, Commissioner of Highways. The Rappahannock News, has in the past, and will continue to support efforts to resolve the problem of tracks on the county’s highways.) Another defense To the editor: In response to the letter of Robert Eastham in last week’s paper, let us say that his remarks on fiscal accountability and sound planning for the future are certainly to the point. Surely he knows, though, that answers to his questions, good as they are, are rarely available to readers of only newspapers (good as those newspapers may be). Details of state mandates that are not currently being met, details of present enrollment K-7, etc., are of course available and many of these facts have been presented and discussed with various community groups, SPTA’s, faculties, etc. But the main thrust of Mr. Eastham’s remarks is based on several false assumptions. The first such false assumption is that the current high school is adequate for the population it now serves. It was built in 1958 for 285 students, with six toilets each for boys and girls, and a cafeteria that seated 90. Several years later, four classrooms were added, increasing the building capacity; no other facilities were improved. There are now approximately 385 students in the high school, with enrollment for the near future projected to go down slightly, and enrollment for the long run predicted to go up. These are the bare facts of enrollment, but unless the school’s population drops to zero, the school is inadequate - it is in grave need of a major renovation. It is almost 30 years old, built in a decade infamous for poor school de sign and barely passable construction. Teachers and guidance counselors regularly need to vacate their rooms to permit other classes to use them. The facilities do not meet state requirements for science and special education. The library is overflowing its boundaries. The eating facilities are so poor as to be laughable - if you can laugh while sitting on the floor in the hallway eating your lunch every day. That its students continue to learn and achieve, that its teachers continue to think of new and better ways to help them learn, that its administrators remain cheerful and positive while juggling schedules, classrooms, ball games, dances, etc. is a tribute more to the human spirit than the result of a planned environment. And Mr. Eastham’s second false assumption - one that is really more important than the first - is that enrollment has anything at all to do with a desire to give Rappahannock students a quality education. Every student who is enrolled, and every student who will be enrolled here deserves, and should be offered, the best the county can provide. We believe that one such step toward providing that will be to improve the facilities until they meet the standards of the state of Virginia. Surely other Rappahannock county residents will agree with this. FRANCES X. LACAVA HELEN M.

Power industry dynamic Several hours before Arun G. Phadke was scheduled to deliver his American Electric Power professorship lecture at Virginia Tech, the campus experienced a power outage. But it was only a “local failure,” Mr. Phadke explained, nothing at all like the 1985 east coast blackout which he detailed in his lecture, “Electric Power: A Century of Innovation.” Although the electric power industry has the reputation of being “old fashioned and dull,” Mr. Phadke, whose career includes 12 years with AEP and four with AllisChalmers, feels that just the opposite is true - it is a dynamic and innovative field. In his lecture he traced certain industry milestones. First came the turn-of-the century DC/AC controversy — whether to go with direct current or alternating current. DC won the battle, although Thomas Edison himself supported AC. The latter is standard in households today, however, thanks to the invention of the transformer, a device that continually reverses (alternates) the flow of direct current. Next came the “station concept,” the idea of a central generating location, which made the production of electricity economically feasible. This was followed by bulk power transmission of electricity through high voltages and the advent of necessary insulating and switching equipment. Finally, in the late ’50s, came the computers. At first they were used for analytical work, to study the existing power systems. In the 70s they were used as process control devices. Today, they are used for a variety of purposes - from simulating power systems to maintaining dynamic stability of existing systems. Electric power engineering consists of the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of power as well as the manufacturing of related equipment. At the heart of today’s industry lies the operation and control of an interconnected system that spans the American continent and extends into Mexico and THE 1 BLHNICAI. BYE Canada. The sheer size of the equipment is staggering - circuit breakers as large as a house, transformers as large as two houses. While there has been a slowdown in the growth of the demand for electric energy caused by the oil shortage of the 70s, Mr. Phadke noted that there has been a steady improvement in the efficiency and reliability of generating and transmitting power. The most exciting innovation has been the use of computers to maintain “dynamic stability” - keeping all the elements of the system synchronized with high precision while maintaining security at the local, regional, and national sites as the demand for power changes throughout the course of the day. Especially critical are the relays, complex devices that keep constant watch over current, voltage, lines, and transformers. They can react within four to 10 milliseconds when problems occur due to equipment failure or natural disasters. Mr. Phadke is presently engaged in developing a simulator to which a hierarchy of microprocessors will be connected in order to test the algorithms - mathematical procedures for solving problems - that he has devised for the control of electric power. It is state-of-the-art research of great interest to the electric utility industry. The goal is a more efficient nationwide power system, with lower electricity costs for the consumer. The work will also lessen the chance of future blackouts and power outages, ensuring a lighted auditorium for Professor Phadke’s next lecture.

Reverend Peyton W. Wiltshire performed the double ring ceremony at 11 o’clock in the morning. Mrs. Thelma Scroggons played the wedding music. Cindy is the daughter of Ms. Virgie E. Atkins of Culpeper and the kite Charles W. Leake of Sperryville. Paul is the son of Mrs. Cynthia C. Storck of Fredericksburg and the late John Webster Curtis of Lignum. The bride wore a formal Victorian-styled gown of silky taffeta and delicate lace. The high neck line was of sheer illusion and the yoke was accented by seed pearls and sequins. The V of sheer illusion was trimmed with ruffles and enhanced by a fitted bodice with a basque waistline that was trimmed with a silk bow in the back. The tapered illusion sleeves were highlighted with juliet-style satin poufs. The skirt was full with ruffled edges and accented with appliques, seed pearls and sequins; ending in a sweep train with more ruffles.

Those who follow Indian lore prefer to call it The Moon of The Beaver. No matter what, it usually is a “cold” moon, a foreboding of the winter months ahead. Weather watch Weatherwise we can anticipate below normal temperatures for the month with above average precipitation. Look for storms the 16th through the 18th. Five periods when precipitation can be expected are: 2, 3 heavy rain or snow; 6, 7 light rain or snow; 11, 12 rain; 16-19 breezy, rain or snow; and 24-26 cold, snow showers. The remainder of the month appears to be cooler to colder with cloudy skies. Wooly bears Many observed in the northeast have shown extra-wide brown mid die bands with small black parts fore and aft. Several have even been seen with no black showing. These furry forecasters seem to deny predictions for a colder winter than normal with an increase in snowfall.

For most of us there is no good day for rain to come. It cancels family outings, stymies outside games, and generally upsets our schedules. But rain depends upon perspective. For the farmer, with crops dying in the Field, any day is a good day for rain. And in our better, saner moments we all know that without rain the cycle of nature cannot happen and life becomes deserts. The other night I got caught in the rain. I went into a meeting, damp all over and completely wet in spots. 1 complained, but then a poem by William Stidger came to mind. He wrote: "IsawGod wash the world last night, and hang it out to dry." Now that's perspective! And even in my damp condition the rain that had drenched me seemed a bit less damaging. And then I remembered the last part of Stidger's poem: “I wish that He would wash me as white as that old birch tree.” As the Psalmist put it: "Wash me, and 1 shall be whiter than snow.” (Ps. 51:7) Copyright 1986, Keister-Wiiliams Newspaper Services, P O Box 8005.

A holiday with pumpkin Thanksgiving brings to mind a cornucopia of fall vegetables, juicy tender turkey and pumpkin pie. What better way to make that pie special than to make it from scratch with real pumpkin? The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in cooperation with Virginia pumpkin growers has just published the first Virginia Pumpkin Gruide. It lists 2? growers around the Commonwealth offering fresh picked or pick your own pumpkins. Many of these farms also have available fresh produce, fall decorations, holiday gift packs, cider, popcorn, peanuts, hayrides, fishing, petting barns and much more.

Day realtor kr.'kks FINANCING TODAY Until just a few years ago, there was one basic type of loan. It had a fixed interest rate, level monthly payments, and ran from 20 to 30 years. It is still available and remains the favorite of most buyers. Today, however, there are more loan varieties than Babe Ruth had home runs. Chief among them is the Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM), which allows changes in the interest rate at specific times during the life of the loan. Adjustments are tied to changes in an independent index that reflects current market interest rates. Some ARMs permit rate adjustments every one, three or five years. The interest rate on ARMs usually starts a couple of percentage points lower than the fixed rate mortgage. Then the interest rate fluctuates. True, the rate can go up if that’s the way rates are going, however, they can go down automatically too. In that case, the borrower gets a lower rate without refinancing and incurring the fees and closing costs of a new loan.

The word pumpkin is derived from either the Greek word “pepon” meaning edible gourd or the French word “pumpion” meaning cooked by the sun. It is a member of the squash family and can be substituted in most winter squash recipes as well as many of the sweet potato recipes. There are many dessert recipes available but pumpkin cooking should not stop there. For example, Russian cooks combine pumpkins, meats and fruits; Latin America cooks use them in casseroles, and Northern African cooks include pumpkins in many recipes. Be creative when including pumpkin on your menu. A cooked pumpkin makes an attractive serving container while holding in the heat. You can either prepare your favorite mixture and reheat it for the last half hour in the shell or stuff the completely cooked shell with the hot mixture made from another pumpkin and serve with a pumpkin sliver on the side. For example, rich vegetable soup can be made from a leftover holiday turkey and served in a pumpkin shell. A hearty beef stew can be jazzed up by adding chunks of pumpkin and pears. It does not have to be served in the shell, but it looks so pretty and it is a good way to use those big field pumpkins. After a heavy dinner, prepare a light pumpkin dessert such as chilled pumpkin souffle laced with orange liqueur and topped with a smooth cranberry sauce. Or, serve a super easy pumpkin mousse which contains orange juice, heavy cream, unflavored gelatin, cinnamon, nutmeg and grated orange rind. Pump kin ginger ice cream is also another excellent dessert idea. The pumpkin gives the ice cream a soft peachorange color while three forms of ginger (fresh, crystallized and powder) add flavor. The traditional pumpkin pie is a dessert staple. The Pilgrims, of course, popularized it many years ago, but to them pumpkin pie meant a custard cooked right in the pumpkin shell. This is a great idea, especially when prepared like a bread pudding complete with raisins. This dessert is excellent when served with whipped cream, fruit or a brandy sauce. Whatever your decision may be on how to include pumpkin on your menu for the holiday season, do not forget to use fresh pumpkin.

With the local chapters receiving and sending information to the statewide Virginia Deer Hunters Association, the deer hunters will then be able to communicate on all issues which affect them.

Board serves up girls’ JV volleyball Last Tuesday, the School Board returned a serve from athletic director John Toth and approved a junior varsity girls volleyball team for Rappahannock County High School. In relaying the request for authorization, Superintendent Robert Estabrook noted that the current girls’ volleyball coach is willing to run the JV program without additional renumeration. “There’s considerable interest in the JV team,” he said, adding that practice for the winter sport begins in mid-November after girls’ basketball ends. “Should this teacher leave or tire of coaching, and the board has sanctioned this program, we may have to supply a second coach at some time,” Chairman Beverly Massie pointed out. “Is it financially feasible for us to pick up an additional coaching position?” “I don’t see any real good reason not to do it,” Bill Oliver responded. “It seems we have a demand for it .. . We should encourage it.” A junior varsity program would be “worth it to instigate interest in the varsity sport,” added Paul Nichols, suggesting that a “strong intramural program” be organized as well with that same aim. rourTrax 3 WHEEL ATC1101985 $898 ATC200X1986 $1848 ATC250ES 1985 $1798 ATC350X 1985 $1998 4 WHEEL TRX701986$798 TRX1251986 $1498 TRX200SX 1986 $1798 TRX2501987$2498 TRX350 (4x4) 1987 $3348 PRICES ARE MARKED DOWN NOW MORE THAN EVER 1985’s, 86’s, 87’s BIG SAVINGS ★ ALL MODELS CHRISTMAS LA YA WA YS FINANCING A VAIL ABLE COME SEE THE NEW FOREMAN 4x4 BLALOCK CYCLE CO. on tho Bypass in Warronton (703) 347-4591 Dealer #7978 0000 Imm JACKIE SETTLE BRINGS the ball downcourt against Page County last Thursday.

From left, Matthew Ausberry, Stacy Alther, Heather Legg, James Jenkins and Jesse Rogers. Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News THE CAFETERIA STAFF at the elementary school got into the spirit of Halloween as well. Wakefield visits W illiamsburg Students of Wakefield School’s fourth and fifth grades made a special three-day study visit to Colonial Williamsburg last week. With the theme of the study 18th century family life, urban vs rural, the students were given the opportunity to compare and contrast the life of the town dweller with that of those living on rural farms and plantations. The rural site chosen for the study was Carter’s Grove. The visit to this plantation near Williamsburg utilized the exhibits in the reception center, including a film about plantation life in Colonial America. After touring the mansion, the students visited the outlying agricultural areas and housewrights. Ihe next day students focussed on Colonial Williamsburg as a community of families and craftsmen. They rounded out their day in the city with attendance at a colonial dance presented at the Capitol. On the third day of the trip the students had the opportunity to meet with historical interpreters, who explained the ways historians gain knowledge about the past. They learned that the surveying of artifacts, letters, journals, and oral traditions all are useful to the historian in reconstructing the past. The fourth and fifth grade trip to Williamsburg was specially arranged by fourth grade teacher Mrs. Sandra Mitchell, who says that her aim was to go beyond what tourists usually see at Williamsburg and to make the trip truly educational for her students.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Heating tips save energy With the winter heating season come higher energy bills. But there are ways to trim dollars off heating bills by following some energy-saving tips. The Potomac Edison Company recommends insulation in walls, floors and ceilings. If adequately installed, insulation pays for itself by reducing heating bills up to 30 percent. Wrapping ductwork with insulating material, along with repairing any leaks, can help save energy, too. “Installing storm doors and windows or covering standard windows with plastic can cut window heat loss by 50 percent, if those doors and windows are sealed around joints and well-caulked around frames,” says Gerry Warren, residential applications specialist. “This keeps heated air from escaping. ” Diming the day, thermostats should be set between 65 and 68 degrees, Warren recommends. At night, they can be set back to 55 degrees. When these setback periods occur for more than eight hours, it’s possible to trim up to eight percent off home heating bills. In homes heated by a heat pump, the thermostat should be kept at one temperature setting. “Moving the thermostat up and back can cause the auxiliary heating system to come on. This back-up system costs more to run than the heat pump,” Warren adds. Some additional energy-saving tips: • When a heating system other than a heat pump is used, close central air conditioning outlets and returns before heat is turned on. • Vacuum all heating grills or outlets often to remove dirt and dust which can hinder air flow. • Be sure furniture or draperies are not blocking heating outlets. • Make sure that no heat producing appliance, such as a lamp or television, is located near the thermostat. Heat put off by these devices will cause an inaccurate reading. • Place a rug at the door to keep out cold air. Also, try to open and close doors quickly. • Close off rooms not being used and set the thermostat in these rooms at 55 to 60 degrees. • Open curtains and let the sun shine in when using a room. Close curtains at night. Also, consider hanging curtains with insulated linings. They cut down on night heat loss through windows. • Build a smaller fire. A roaring fire wastes energy when temperature is above 35 degrees. • Close up fireplaces when not in use to keep out cold air. Potomac Edison offers an average payment plan for customers to help budget for electric bills. The plan levels out high and low bills throughout the year so that customers pay about the same amount each month. The average payment is updated every two months when the meter is read and the new figure reflects the actual electricity used.

SWAN’S K|UE§ ANDSERVIC A. Swan, Jr. A Co 201 S. East St. 825-8371_ Culpeper Germanna seeks historical input The Germanna Community College Office of Continuing Education invites the public to attend a reunion on Saturday, November 8, at 2 p.m. in Room 56 to share memories of what, where and who was there when! Germanna Professor Robert Hodge, who is a member of the Germanna Consortium for Historic Preservation, Research and Cultural Studies, will lead the discussion. Professor Hodge is collecting historical data about the area, and he feels that there are people in the college’s neighboring communities who can provide information about where earlier settlers had houses and where the road across the Rapidan River was located previously. Historians think that at one time there were probably as many as 50 houses on the land surrounding the college, as well as whole communities that existed in the area and have been destroyed over the years. It is Professor Hodge’s hope that by inviting the public to come to the college for a discussion regarding the rich cultural and historical data surrounding the Germanna Ford area, new facts and findings may come to light. Any new findings will be transferred to a map so that when construction or excavation is being done on the land surrounding the college, relics of old buildings, graves, etc. won’t be destroyed and history will be preserved. Areas and topics to be discussed on November 8 include the horseshoe bend in the Rapidan River at Germanna Ford, the Enchanted Castle Ruins of Governor Spotswood, the old home site of the Gordon family, the old home site of the Harris family, the Foundation Spring dedicated in 1931, a Boy Scout campsite (with cabin) located somewhere in the area, and the Gordon-DuVal cemetery. For further information, individuals may call the Office of Continuing Education at Germanna at 3991333, extension 201. « FALL PLANT WINTERIZING SPECIALS Sale prices like you’ve not seen before and aren’t likely to see again! 40 lb.

Loan rates on the 1986 crops are com $2.08, wheat $2.38, barley $1.48 and soybean $4.82. “Farmers who plan to commingle their 1986 and 1985 harvests and request a loan must check with our office first,” the ASCS official said. Some farmers may wish to store their crops after harvest to take advantage of future price increases. “If so, a price support loan will provide them with operating cash at that time,” Ms. Henry advised. Under the price support loan program, the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) makes loans to eligible farmers or to cooperative marketing associations. Stocks may be stored on the farm or in an approved commercial warehouse. The commodities serve as collateral for the loan. Loans mature on demand, but no later than the last day of the ninth month following the month the loan is disbursed. To protect the CCC’s interest, ASCS performs a lien search on all commodities pledged for price-support loans. CCC files financing statements for all farm-stored loans, except those made to cooperative marketing associations. If a lien is recorded on the crop, the farmer must obtain either a lien waiver, a subordination agreement, or the lienholder’s signature on the loan application. Wheat and other small grain loans will be available through March 31, 1987. Ms. Henry sai$i loans on com, sorghum, and soybeans will be available until May 31, 1987.

Trucks Continued from page 1 Hill resident. “I think we’re making our presence felt... I think it’s good for citizens to get involved,” he said, complimenting Mr. Sinnott on his advocacy. “I think it’s a good idea to keep a log of the accidents here . . . But I don’t think we’ll get a truck ban on Route 522.” “We should decide what is possible and pursue that rather than just saying what the people want to hear us say,” noted Supervisor Newbill Miller. Robert Eastham, another Flint Hill resident, pointed out that citizen pressure in Fauquier resulted in the closure of Route 17 to trucks in that county. The Highway Department “is operating the*highways for the truckers and the road contractors,” he charged. “A resolution may not get us any action but it won’t do any harm!” He asked the board to petition the Highway Department to close the winding two-lane road over the mountain to “through tractortrailers coming from God knows where and going to God knows where and killing people in this county.” It will be at least two and a half to three years before improvements to Route 17 are completed, Mr. Sinnott interjected. And in that period, Route 522 is going to see more and more trucks. “We have to do some thing,” he repeated, adding that a truck ban would have prevented two deaths already. Mr. Sinnott reported counting 12 18-wheelers in one hour and 135 trucks in total during the same time period, all with commercial plates, none with county stickers, crossing the mountain. “This is a serious problem. It’s a killer!” Mr. Eastham emphasized. The statistics and the rhetoric swayed the supervisors, bringing a shift from opposition to support of a petition to the Highway Department. For Rappahannock to take its proportionate share of the truck traf-fic and the risk of accidents, Route 17 must be reopened, Supervisor Miller said. The county is bearing a disproportionate share now because its 6,000 people do not have the same political clout as Fauquier’s 35,000, he said. “We’re being discriminated against because we’re a minority and that’s illegal in this country!” None of the board members contended that Route 17 is safe for tractor trailers - just that Route 522 is equally, if not more, dangerous. In a unanimous vote, they directed their administrative assistant John McCarthy to draft a letter to the Highway Department seeking either the reopening of 17 or the closure of 522. Mr. McCarthy will bring the letter back for endorsement at the next board meeting. Amendments Continued from page 1 understood what would result if the amendment was enacted. “It’s a provision that repeals the right to appeal approval of a subdivision,” Mr. Luke explained, adding that the issue had arisen in a recent zoning dispute now before the Circuit Court. “Our present subdivision ordinance provides that any person at any time can appeal the granting of a subdivision. There’s no enabling legislation for that. I don’t know how it came to be included in the ordinance,” the attorney said. Under Virginia’s enabling law, the route to “undo” a subdivision is to first petition the Board of Supervisors to vacate the plat for the subdivision. If the application to vacate is denied, then the aggrieved party may appeal THAT decision to the Circuit court, Mr. Luke told the board. Or the aggrieved party may take the case directly to court by alleging that the board (or its agent, in the instance of administrative approval of a subdivision) committed an invalid act by approving the subdivision, the attorney continued. “If it’s an invalid act, a person always has the right to go to court and sue the Hearing Continued from page 1 Getting a ban, however, is easier said than done, Commissioner Pethtel explained in an interview after Monday’s hearing. First, there must be local support and a resolution requesting the ban from the Board of Supervisors. Then the Transportation Board and the commissioner review the request. Commissioner Pethtel said a ban might be difficult to justify among the local commercial and industrial sectors v’.io might fear a ban would curtail 1 asiness. Red Cross asks for funds With donations lagging, the Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross has renewed its plea for funds to meet its goal this year of $21,897. In a letter mailed to usual contributors, chapter resident H. T. A. Nevill pointed out that the chapter will be unable to perform all of its services unless the revenue goal is met. Last year the Red Cross conducted two very successful emergency campaigns for money for disaster relief, but all of those funds went to national headquarters, none being retained for use by local chapters. Although part of the annual revenue must go to national headquarters, the bulk of the money collected locally is spent for services in the two counties, Fauquier and Rappahannock, for aid to military families and veterans, assistance at the hospital, safety instruction and disaster relief. Recently, for example, a fire at an apartment building in Remington required housing assistance for four families. Anyone wishing to make a contribution should send the donation to: Fauquier Chapter, American Red Cross, 53 South Third Street, Warrenton, Va. 22186. county.” But the sole question then is if the board or its agent acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner: “The only appeal that can be taken is ‘Did you gentlemen follow the law?’. It’s a question of adhering to the proper procedures. It’s not a discretionary issue,” Mr. Luke said. As to the current provision that allows a “discretionary” appeal of a subdivision approval, “whether you take it out of the ordinance or not, it’s not a valid provision,” he concluded. “I don’t see what there is to argue about,” responded Supervisor Estes. “There’s no enabling legislation on the books for this.” , “I understand now,” added Supervisor Miller, supporting the repeal of the contested appeal provision and pointing out that citizens have two legal routes for taking a subdivision approval to court. “It’s just a rotten provision,” said Mr. "Luke. “There’s no time limit,” he added, noting that in a case now before the court, landowner Ivan Hall had challenged approval of a subdivision eight years after the fact. Rappahannock citizens “haven’t lost anything because they didn’t have it to start with,” said Supervisor Estes after the unanimous vote to drop the appeal provision from the subdivision ordinance. “Any appeal that was legally possible before is still possible now,” Supervisor Lane agreed. NUGGETS OF TRUTH THE LORD’S PRAYER (PART 4) The past three weeks we have been studying The Lord's Prayer found Matt. 6:9-13. This week we will focus on the line "Give us this day our daily bread." God has provided in Jesus all we will ever need (Phil. 4:19 says "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in p glory by Christ Jesus ”) a In order for you to receive your needs f met you must obey God's word and bet come a tither. To give your tithe means to give a tenth, Malachi 3:8, 9, 10, & 11 tea9 ches us about tithing. The Bible says to j bring all your tithe into the storehouse. The p storehouse is a place where you get fed 9 spiritually, a local church that preaches and J teaches God’s word. Pray that God will U send you to a local church that you can be 9 a contributing part of, not only with your ? money but with your time and talent also, ^ You see God intends for your church's p needs to be met by Christians tithing, not a by fund raising or any other means. Your £ church should be a place where people f can come if they are in need and get their a needs met, that is the main reason you 9 tithe, so that there will be plenty to give to , others. it The Bible says in Luke 6:38 "Give and 9 it shall be given unto you-' (please read that J verse in your Bible). God has made provip sions for you to have all your needs met, f that is why He says in the Bible to give and J it shall be given to you again, that is for t YOUR benefit! When you give to others the f way the bible teaches, God will see that • you have all you need God is already rich, ] He has all He needs, He does not need f your money, time or talent for Himself, He • only needs you to tithe and give so that | those without can be helped and so you f can be blessed, you cannot be a blessing • to others unless you are blessed yourself! f You must believe it is God's will to I prosper you in every area of your life, not t only financially, that is the lowest form of f blessing, nevertheless God will bless you j| financially if you obey his word. a 3 John 2 says; Beloved, I wish above 9 all things that thou mayest prosper and be jj in health, even as thy soul prospereth. p Thank God because He is the Great f Provider, you can have any need you have £ met if you will trust in Him J Next week: "Forgive us our debts as y we forgive our debtors." 8* JESUS IS LORD £ FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER y Washington, Va. (Phone 987-8505) Election Continued from page 1 morning, the amendment had been approved by a margin of almost two to one. Question Two, which would allow certain unelected government employees to serve as election officials, was rejected by voters in Rappahannock County, but won approval state-wide by a narrow margin, 488,962 to 404,089. The vote in Rappahannock was 809 against, 787 for. Question Three, a proposal to allow the Virginia Supreme Court to rule on certain questions of state law certified to it by federal court or appellate court of another state, was approved by a wide margin in both Rappahannock County (1,160, yes; 375, no) and by voters throughout the Commonwealth (657,266, yes; 231,399, no). Question Four, which would allow the Commonwealth a limited right of appeal of preliminary dismissals and exclusions of evidence in felony cases, was approved by voters across the state by a margin of three to one (662,335 for; 225,385 opposed). In Rappahannock, the amendment was approved by the same margin, 1,169 for and 387 against. Voter turnout in Rappahannock exceeded expectations for an offyear election with only one contested race. Fifty-five percent of registered voters cast ballots Tuesday. State-wide totals for voter turnout were not available Wednesday morning, but neighboring Fauquier County reported only 20 percent of registered voters went to the polls. There were no contested elections in Fauquier. The 55 percent figure compares with an 80 percent turnout in the county in 1984, the last Presidential election year. In the last off-year election, 65 percent of the voters cast ballots. There are 3,236 registered voters in the county, and 1,793 participated in Tuesday’s election. Official election results will not be available until they are certified by the State Board of Elections in Richmond, sometime later this month, according to a spokesman in the office who spoke with the Rappahannock News Wednesday morning.

Robertson, were on hand at the opening meeting to explain the Virginia Plan. During their presentation they stressed that litter is not only ugly, it is dangerous as well. It presents a health hazard in several ways. First, it can serve as a haven for rodents and insects which spread disease. Second, people get hurt by broken bottles, rusty cans, boards with nails left imbedded, even trash blowing off the back of a truck can strike a pedesterian - or cause another motorist to have an accident. “We are a sloppy society, Ms. Robertson observed. She said that on the average, each American throws away between four and six pounds of refuse per day. Littering is also a costly habit. In Virginia alone, $25 million is spent each year picking up litter. Nationwide, the cost is $2.5 billion annually. The litter elimination program sponsored by the state has five components. The first is planning and organization, which began at the kickoff meeting Oct. 23. Mr. McCarthy reported that “about 80 percent” of the approximately 20 people who attended the meeting volunteered to help the campaign in some way. Communication, education of the public, particularly in the schools, sustained cleanup efforts and law enforcement are the other elements of the program. Specifics of the last four parts of the litter program have not yet been drawn up by the antilitter volunteers, but a meeting has been set for Wednesday, November 5, at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse to discuss plans for the campaign. The Division 06 Litter Control has identified specific sources of litter which it suggests must be addressed if any clean-up effort is to be successful. Four sources are defined as stationary: improper household and business disposal, loading docks, and construction sites. An additional three types of littering come from mobile sources: pedestrians, motorists and uncovered trucks. The most recognizable source of litter is that thrown from cars. Studies have determined that more than 16,000 pieces of litter are thrown onto each mile of highway every year. Paper and plastic account for 71 percent of that total, while cans - fPLUMBING & HEATING | SUPPLIES i| 1 US Mg, ...

Trucks, particularly those transporting trash, are another creator of litter. Uncovered trucks, heavily loaded with garbage, are a common sight on rural highways. It is illegal in Virginia to operate a vehicle without its load being secured in such a way “as to prevent its contents from dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping therefrom ...” The Division of Litter Control suggests that increased enforcement of the ordinance is the most effective way to diminish that source of litter. Improper disposal of trash by homes and businesses is another major contributor to litter. Trash bags or boxes set outside on a windy day, without being properly secured, will soon fill the neighborhood with trash. Animals can also tear up even properly closed containers, with the same unsightly results. Although there are not a large number of loading docks in Rappahannock County, according to the Division of Litter Control they account for a significant amount of trash around the state. Similarly, cast off materials at construction sites blow in the wind and end up spread around the area, creating additional blemishes on the landscape. The Division of Litter Control stresses educating children about litter in its campaign. It has developed Operation Waste Watch for use in schools from kindergarten through grade six. Each level includes a filmstrip, cassette tape, teaching guide and various activities for the chil dren. Pre- and post-program tests are also included to assist teachers in evaluating the effectiveness of the presentation. For older children, the state agency has created ecology clubs, which encourage public service projects which make not only the children but the entire community more aware of the problem of trash. The litter control program also advocates recycling as a method to cut down on trash disposal, thus cutting down on litter. It suggests recycling bottles, cans and paper, and has established a toll-free telephone number for information about recycling centers throughout the state of Virginia. The number is 1-800KEEP ITT. For those who ignore the urging of RALLY to help clean up Rappahannock, there is the law enforcement component of the Virginia Plan. Littering is against the law in Virginia. It is a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $1000 fine. Mr. McCarthy reported that he was pleased with the response to his request for volunteers to participate in the program. He added that, given the initial response, “With any luck at all the program will be a success” in making the citizens of Rappahannock more aware of the importance of keeping Rappahannock beautiful. Mr. McCarthy urged anyone who is interested in helping with the program to contact him at the Zoning Office in Washington (675-3342). Weather slows bird migrations The fall migration of raptors, songbirds and other migratory species has been slowed this year because of a lack of strong cold fronts which help push the birds southward, according to a report issued by the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. The commission maintains a banding station at Kiptopeake on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, where biologists trap, count and band migrating birds to establish numbers and patterns of the annual migrations. During the weekend of October 11 and 12, more than 300 ospreys were counted flying south over Kiptopeake. Ospreys spend the summer on the Chesapeake Bay, and have normally moved south by the first of October. Some osprey have also been reported inland during the past week. The same count also produced a record number of endangered peregrine falcons, with 82 birds counted. According to the commission, this is a good indication that the peregrine, which had disappeared from Virginia at one point, is making a strong comeback because of conservation efforts. As part of the Non-Game and Endangered Species Program, seven peregrines were raised on Eastern Shore hacking towers by adults which had returned to the area. Biologists were also able to raise another five birds on a tower at Mount Rogers, in the southwestern part of the state. Scientists continue to band peregrine falcons to learn more about migration patterns, age distribution and population trends. Fifteen were recently banded at the Wise Point banding station along with about 300 merlins. The information gained through this effort is part of the non-game research sponsored by the tax check-off offered to citizens on the state’s income tax form.
