FEBRUARY 5.1987 Washington, Virginia 22747 Phone 675-3349, 25 cents {Engineers report two landfill sites ‘unusable’ it By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON F “Unusable.” I That’s the conclusion from Hurt | and Profitt Inc., the engineering % firm that conducted soils tests on p two pieces of property under considf eration as possible sites for a sani| tary landfill. Acceding to a report received ^ by zoning administrator John Me* : Carthy on Jan. 30, preliminary soil boring were made at the Lee property off the Fodderstack Road near the Town of Washington and the Saltonstall tract off Route 622 at the foot of Aaron Mountain. “Based upon the population of Rappahannock County and the amount of solid waste generated per year for a landfill site, we have estimated the life expectancy of Site 1 (Lee) and Site 2 (Saltonstall) to be 1.5 and 3.3 years respectively,” the report states. “We consider a suitable sanitary landfill site economically feasible when used for a minimum of ten years. Therefore, we do not recommend Sites 1 and 2 as usable.” There was no discussion of the report at Monday’s board meeting. Allen Olsen, a landowner on the Fodderstack Road, was there to monitor landfill developments. In response to Mr. Olsen’s request for a copy of the report, zoning adminis trator John McCarthy said that the supervisors would not release the information until Tuesday morning in order to allow time to notify the property owners of the test results. However, the supervisors did announce on Monday that they will be in Richmond this Friday to talk with officials from the state’s Division of Solid Waste Management. They also retired to executive session to consider competitive bidding and expenditure of public funds involving a landfill but when they returned to an open forum an hour later, they reported that no action had been taken. Last year, the board endorsed the Lee Partnership’s application to operate a private landfill on 128 acres just beyond the Washington town limits. That application was the only one before the state’s Division of Solid Waste Management. Virginia’s landfill permitting agency. In light of the engineers’ finding, “I’m sure that it will be withdrawn,” said Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey in a telephone interview Tuesday evening. “So, as of this moment, we don’t even have a site for the state to consider.” What happens next? As far as trash goes, Rappahan Saltonstall tract nock finds itself between the proverbial rock and a hard place. A closure^plan for the private landfill on Clifton Clark’s property near Woodville has been approved and implementation begun, according to Robert Forman from the Division of Waste Management's Culpeper office. That landfill, which now takes re fuse from dumpsters scattered around the county, is slated to close by July 1 - at the latest. Due to a trash flow heavier than anticipated, capacity for the emergency expansion approved for the Clark site last year may be reached sooner, Mr. Forman reported last month. According to a spokeswoman for the Division of Solid Waste Management, the state would consider the possibility of allowing a further expansion at the Clark site. But neighboring landowners have put the Board of Supervisors on notice that they will mount a legal challenge to use of the Clark dump past the July 1 deadline. Mr. Gilkey said that the board does not plan to petition the state on Friday for another expansion of the Clark landfill. “But hopefully, they’ll consider that,” he said. Efforts made over the past two years to find a disposal site outside the county have been fruitless. Reportedly, Culpeper, Madison, Warren, Fauquier, Frederick, Shenandoah and other localities have all said no to Rappahannock’s request to use their landfills - even on a temporary basis. A special site selection committee appointed by the board in December has been searching for alternative landfill locations. This committee found 100 acres for sale, the Stover tract off Route 639 near Amissville. However, the owners will not allow soils tests without first getting a sales contract from the county. At a special meeting three weeks ago, the supervisors agreed to have an independent appraisal done as a preliminary step and directed their legal advisor, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, to draft a sales contract. “Mr. Luke is still working on that,” Chairman Gilkey reported on Tuesday. The job has been complicated by the board’s insistence “on making things work out for the benefit of the county,” he added. And time grows shorter. According to Mr. Forman, the approval process for a new landfill is taking upwards of eight months. “The state hasn’t issued a permit - for a new landfill in the last 10 months,” Mr. Gilkey confirmed. “We don’t see them rushing things just to help us out of a bind... We’re going to Richmond on Friday to feel them out, to see what we can find out. We want to know what we’re going to have to do, come July 1, if we don’t have a new landfill or even the prospect of a new landfill,” the chairman of Rappahannock’s board said. “We want to know what people here can do with their trash.” No doubt: he saw shadow With bright sunshine nudging temperatures dose * . totbeSOfc there was ho ftoufct <»* on Monday that Rappahannock’s groundhogs saw their shadows - that is, if they weren’t stall snowed in. According to Richard Settle, owner of Settle’s Garage in Flint HOI, his fearless forecaster of the winter’s length, who visited the station on Monday, "found the sun so bright he’s wearing sunglasses.” So, in keeping with the old saying that "every silver lining does have its cloud,” we - bring you the news that Rappahannock’s groundhogs have officially forecast another six weeks of winter. They offered no predictions about snow.

Supervisors rush first exception permit to forestall forfeiture By DAPHNE HUTCHJNSON A Flint Hill man who built a house without first getting title to the land sought help from the Board of Supervisors Monday and had his application for a special exception permit - the first under the county’s new zoning ordinance - 1 stamped “rush job.” - “I’m about to lose it,” F. Glenn Frazier said of the modular home he has erected on 115 acres deeded to Willie A. Gentry. “I need a special hardship exemption so I can get the deed to my land for a mortgage.” Mr. Frazier is seeking approval for the subdivision of 25 acres from the 115-acre tract. He told the supervisors that his problem stems from the 200-foot road frontage requirement in the new zoning ordinance adopted two months ago. “What I had was okay under the old zoning law. I can’t do any better.” It’s not the road frontage that’s presenting a problem, interjected zoning administrator John McCarthy. “The problem is the number of divisions on this parcel since 1973 . . . Mr. Gentry has had more than the three.” Under the terms of the new zoning ordinance, a special exception permit from the Board of Supervisors is required for additional subdivisions greater than three lots , cumulative since 1973 on land zoned agricultural. According to zoning >flaa» Mrr'Qstitiyhas-taknn at least i 21 cuts from the original lot of record, including boundary adjustments, family transfers, transfer to different ownership and subdivisions, as defined by the ordinance. In seeking approval to divide a 25-acre lot from the 115-acre residue, Mr. Frazier submitted the survey necessary for plat approval on Dec. 8, one week after the three-division restriction took effect. Under the old ordinance, there were no controls on the number of lots which could be subdivided with administrative approval so long as the lots were 25 acres or larger. Had his survey been presented to the zoning administrator prior to Dec. 1, Mr. Frazier’s 25-acre lot could have been authorized without any additional hearings or permits. “Your house is sitting on that lot?” asked Supervisor Charles Estes. “Yes, sir,” Mr. Frazier replied. “It’s on a foundation? You got a building permit without owning the land? You built it without a title to the land?” questioned the incredulous supervisor. Mr. Frazier nodded agreement. “My roots go back seven generations (in Rappahannock County). A man’s word is his handshake. I’d rather have that than all the damn papers you can file in the courthouse . 4 . , 'said,111 expiring’"that^he*** needed title to the land in order to get a mortgage so he could pay off a "bridge loan” which is due. If he doesn’t repay the loan, the lender will jack up his modular house, load it on a trailer and haul it away, Mr. Frazier told the supervisors. "This is a transition thing from the old ordinance to the new,” noted Supervisor J. Newbill Miller. “We’re going to have some of these cases .. . The trouble is, he’s in an emergency situation, but we have to advertise and hold a public hearing before we can grant a special use permit.” “Is there somebody we can call and explain the situation to?” the zoning administrator offered, asking for the name of the bank which holds the loan. Mr. Frazier didn’t answer. “Would the man actually come in and pick your house up?” asked Supervisor Estes. “He would stand to make about $40,000 on the deal, so I expect he’d . do it,” Mr. Frazier replied. “You must have put a lot of money into it,” noted Supervisor A1 Henry. “I’ve paid for it (the modular residence),” said Mr. Frazier, adding (Continued on Page 14) Rappahannock artist awarded medal In its recent 36th annual juried exhibition, the Knickerbocker Artists awarded Patton Wilson the Grumbacher Gold Medal and a cash award for his painting “Dominion.” The Knickerbocker Artists was founded in 1947 in New York City and is governed by prominent professional artists dedicated to promoting the exceptional work of living artists - painters in all media, graphics and sculpture on a national scale. Each year an open, juried exhibition is held in the Salmagundi Club Galleries at 47 Fifth Avenue. The exhibition represented current concepts in painting and sculpture by both members and nonmembers of the association. “Dominion” is an egg tempera in the permanent collection of the Wilmington Trust Company. Mr. Wilson is a painter who resides in Rappahannock County.

Planners to correct i downzoning oversight “There are going to be oversighta in thia ordinance that w« aeknowledged Newbi^. Miller last week as the Planning Commissioners agreed to initiate a rezoning for Virginia Cloud's property on Route 211 near Payne’s Garage. According to Mrs. Cloud, the lot was zoned commercial until adoption of the county’s new zoning ordinance last month changed the designation to agricultural. Mrs. Cloud said she learned of the change when she attempted to get a building permit to add a room onto the side of the existing house on the small lot. “They won’t issue the permit because I can’t meet the setback distance,” she told the planners. . The sideyard setback in agricultural zones is 100 feet; setback for a commercial zone is just 25 feet, she noted. “I want to build on it and I can’t do it, being like it is,” Mrs. Cloud complained. By consensus, the planners agreed that Mrs. Cloud’s lot had Inadvertently designated map was drawn. “H it wasn’t down soned on purpose, we ought to rectify the mistake,” said Mr. Miller. "But if we change it, it ought to go back to ‘commercial general’ rather than ’highway commercial’, ” he added, finding agreement from the rest of the commissioners on both points. In other action at the short January meeting, the commissioners: e Recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals approve Claudia McCue’s application for a special use permit to operate a blacksmith’s shop in the Wood Packing House in Flint Hill. e Received the first draft of the revised subdivision ordinance from Zoning Administrator John McCarthy and agreed to go over the document "page by page” in February. Building inspector argues for contractor licensing If Rappahannock County’s electrical, mechanical and plumbing contractors are licensed, then work done here will be both safer and cheaper, according to building inspector Emil Smet. Mr. Smet was before the supervisors at Monday’s board meeting to argue in favor of a local ordinance requiring certification for contractors in those fields. Often, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work done by unlicensed contractors “does not follow the (state’s building) code 100 percent and problems arise,” he told the supervisors. “The homeowner has no way to get back at these contractors.” If they’re unlicensed, then the work is not covered by the state of Virginia’s contractors’ insurance; “if they are licensed, then the homeowner can go to the board for financial help,” Mr. Smet said. He told of safety hazards he’s found on jobs performed by unlicensed contractors: • High voltage electrical panels exposed near where crews were working. • Tenants, without an occupancy permit, in a new rental house where a gas hot water heater was sending exhaust fumes directly into the living quarters. “If they’re not licensed, I can only tell them about the violations . . . But if they’re certified, they know in advance that their license is at stake,” Mr. Smet said. He pointed out that real estate agents and beauticians must be licensed. "Contractors qualified to do the work, I don’t see why they would object to being certified. It’s very inexpensive and very simple.” "If I’m the general contractor building my own home or an addition onto my home, and I subcontract the electrical or the plumbing work, does the subcontractor have to be licensed?” asked Supervisor A1 Henry. "Yes, sir. But you can do the work yourself and not bfe certified,” Mr. Smet said. To further questions from Supervisor Henry, the building inspector explained that helpers and laborers, as well as the homeowner who does his own work, are exempt from the licensing requirement. That might have been the intent, interjected Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, but the wording of the proposed ordinance requires helpers and laborers assisting with plumbing, electrical and mechanical jobs to be either certified themselves or under the direct supervision of a certified contractor. Supervisor Newbill Miller maintained that a licensing requirement will "ultimately lower the number of people available to work and increase the cost to . the homeowner ... I’m interested in devising a way to punish those who do shoddy work, (but) in principle, I’m opposed to H(Continued on Page 14)

Helicopter inspections scheduled The Potomac Edison Co. will conduct its winter helicopter inspections of the electrical system’s transmission and distribution lines beginning this week throughout the Winchester and Luray areas as part of its yearly routine maintenance program. Helicopter flights are scheduled to take place over the company’s lines in Frederick, Clarice, Warren, Rappahannock, Madison, Page and Greene counties until hardware checks are completed. The helicopter crew surveys the transmission and distribution system for brush or tree limbs that need to be cleared from PE rights-ofways and for any damaged equipment that needs to be repaired or replaced. They will also check the condition of the poles, cross arms, braces and insulators, looking for woodpecker damage to the poles and loose guy wires. Helicopters are used to scout the system because they can hover as close as 20 feet above the poles to conduct the checks in outlying areas. Students named to dean’s list Dr. William H.

Carl Hofer reports speedy service again Carl Hofer, who lives in McLean but also owns property outside Sperryville, probably wonders if the Postal Service is running his mail by private courier directly to Rappahannock County. ' . , Mr. Hofer said that he mailed a check for his county property taxes on Dec.,1. Rappahannock County Treasurer Frances Foster stamped the bill “Paid” on Dec. 2, and Mr. Hofer received the verification by return mail on Dec. 3. This is the second year in a row that Mr. Hofer has received such Bpeedy delivery from the treasurer’s office and the Postal Service. Mr. Hofer also posed a question for Rappahannock News readers: How many Social Security beneficiaries are over the age of 100? The answer, says the retired Social Security Administration employee, is 20,600. The distribution by sex? Men account for 4,800 of the number - the rest are women.

Cooperative marks first year; looks' to' fufiire|S|J;f *'■The Middle Street Artists’ Cooperative celebrates its first anniversary as a cooperative venture this ~ month, feting the occasion with the i, second annual “Art from the Heart” £. Valentine’s Day show. The gallery’s first season as a co, op was a success, according to Middle Street’s director Alica Overton. She reported that the venture was a „ financial success in its first year, “an - accomplishment any wmall business would be proud of.” Mrs. Overton, who took over as , the gallery’s director in November, said that she has found the 30-plus . members of the cooperative to be a great help. “They have a good network of contacts and a good working relationship. They are very supportive of each other . . . Every time I meet with them, I walk away feeling really fortunate to be involved with * such creative people. She is handling the “business end” of the gallery, as well as promoting the artists and their work. The cooperative is developing a slide registry, which Mrs. Overton will > use in her travels around the country promoting the gallery’s members. She said that it is helpftil, when talking to prospective buyers and exhibitors, to have examples of a variety of work readily available. R , Mrs. Overton says that she sees her role as a kind of marketing consultant for the gallery’s member art- ists. “There is a big market out there,” she said, “and I hope to open ' it to these artists... It’s difficult to put a fair market value on your own ' work, and I hope to help them do that. It’s so easy to be talked down.” 1 She said that she is in the process r of meeting with each artist individually, “To find out why they do what they do. It’s much easier to represent someone once you know and understand them.” “I believe in these artists,” , she said. “They are very, very talented people.” The gallery is planning another season of a combination of member “theme” shows such as “Art from the Heart” as well as one and two w'-' \ .}. % artist exhibitions using some or all of ; the gallery’s space. \ During January, which was spent cleaning, painting and remod- • ding the back room of the building, plans were laid for several shows. In I April, there will be a member show on the theme of water. The next show will be a "Gallery Members and Friends” exhibition, in which cooperative artists are being asked to invite their friends to sub- . mit works for the show. Each artist will be represented by one work, and Mrs. Overton said she hopes to have some really suprising and outstanding work from outside artists included in the show. "We are really seeking quality,” she emphasized. “We also feel it is extremely important to encourage l our members to continue to learn and devdop their artistic skills.” As part of the remodeling effort, bins for storage of art not on exhibit ' were added. Mrs. Overton explained that will be useful when potential clients come from out of town to see a particular artist’s work. "It was always a disapointment when none of the work was there to be displayed.” The gallery’s regular business hours will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6 to 10 p.m., and by appointment. The "Art from the Heart” opening will be held on Saturday, Feb. 7. from 6 to 10. , $ A coffeehouse will be held at the gallery on Valentine’s Day, from 8:30 p.m. until midnight. Admission is $2. There will be an open stage, and the public is encouraged to "bring their talent and come.” The cooperative is also sponsoring a reception following the Trapezoid concert on Sunday, Feb. 8. Mrs. Overton said that the coffeehouse and reception are examples of the type of activity the gallery is i encouraging. When it is not otherwise in use, the gallery is available for coffeehouses, receptions and workshops. Any individual or group * interested in using the gallery for such an event should contact Middle Street Gallery (675-3440).

Vi mile West of Rt. 340/522 on RL 637(Guard Hill Rd.) 703-636-9726 BZA issues first permit under new ordinance "They say that neither rain, nor anow, nor dark of night will stay the postman from his appointed rounds... We could say that neither snow, nor snow, nor snow keeps us from our appointed duties,” joked chairman Lee Bird as a quorum of the Board of Zoning Appeals showed up for last Wednesday’s meeting despite the two feet of snow that had closed offices, businesses, schools and roads from the Potomac River to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The attire was high boots, waterproof leggingB, stocking caps and mufflers; only Mr. Bird was in his traditional suit and tie. So the first order of business was to shake the snow from gloves and pant legs and discard the layers of winter wraps. Then, giving painstaking attention to detail and reading lengthy sections from the new zoning ordinance aloud, the BZA members issued the first special use permit under the county’s revised land use regulations, approving Claudia McCue’s application for a metal workshop. Ms. McCue will operate her workshop in the Wood Packing House in Flint Hill, property that is zoned village commercial. The blacksmith explained that shell be doing both commissioned work and sculpture to be sold through galleries. Addressing fire safety concerns, she told the BZA that the cast iron fire pot for her forge sits on a brick base over a quarter inch steel plate. The floor in the shop is cement and wood walls will be replaced by masonry construction near the forge and the double chimney for the forge and wood stove, according to Ms. McCue. "She’s been working closely with the building inspector who has arranged for a fire marshal’s certification of the structure,” noted Zoning Administrator John McCarthy. The forge’s fire pot measures just 10 inches by 12 inches, the blacksmith said. "It’s a very small fire pot. When you work the fire, you maintain it small... You feed coal slowly into the fire. It turns into coke, which makes a very hot fire.” But this hot fire dies fast when the electronic bellows which supplies air is turned off, Ms.' McCue assured the BZA. “When blacksmith shops have burned down in the past, it's not been from the forge. They burned down from outside the shops when the smiths built great huge fires (to burn tires) and then left them unattended,” she explained. MI won’t be doing tires!” There will be no more smoke from the forge’s chimney than from the chimney for a wood stove and even less than from a Stove burning regular coal, according to Ms. McCue. "I’ll be using metallurgic coal. It’s much, much cleaner than the coal usually used in stoves... I don’t want a dirty fire. It makes my work much harder.” The BZA approved Ms. Mc-‘ Cue’s permit application with the conditions that (1) hours of operation for her power trip hammer and other equipment be limited to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. five days per week (excluding Sunday) and (2) appropriate fire precautions be taken, including construction of a masonry wall and double chimney and provision of fire extinguishers and an adequate water supply. The permit was granted for five years with the zoning administrator to review after one year to ensure that conditions are being met. The board members apologized to Ms. McCue for drawing out their considerations for over an hour. “We would have done this a lot quicker under the old ordinance,” explained Sharon Luke. “This is our first special : use permit application under the new zoning ordinance.” “If I may say so, we’ve ham-' mured out a good decision, and without using a trip hammer!” quipped Mr. Bird. “Now, Lee, don’t be malleable!” warned Peter Kramer, getting in a last joking word. Before re wrapping for the snow and near zero temperatures outside, the BZA members agreed to move their meetings from the fourth Wednesday to the fourth Tuesday of the month, beginning in February. - 'f e uoUate; mi:>jr•ttj: , €^675-333810^80^ " * FLINT HIU STORC icon & UJilson Burke pdSIfff"Tffeirsday, Friday & saturalr FRCSHMCRT Gwattney Big 8 Fresh Rockreghan Chicken Parts I Franks-..«i a. $1.29 fe--“^sS‘I SSSSit#_a«.ne I ■■■•■■Occooocomc«coo9oF$p Mb PRODUCE Dinty Moore Boot Stew..24 « $1.59 Creamette Thin Spaghetti ...........a ». 59s Ragu Spaghetti Sauce/ meat........■■■■■■32 $1.79 dad Trash Bags.......* (0.-10 ct $1.19 SHENANDOAH MOTORS, INC. if OiOSMOStli y PONTIAC ® BUICK (SMC IF YOU BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE, YOU ARE PAYING TOO MUCH.

Hie program is being presented by the Rappahannock County Public Library as part of its Second Friday series. The reading will begin at 8 p.m. Mr. Taylor will be introduced by Senator Eugene McCarthy, a Rappahannock County resident widely known for his book “The View from Rappahannock,” a collection of essays about the area. A reception will follow the reading at the Rappahannock County Li: brary. There is no charge for either .event, and the public is invited to both. Mr. Taylor was awarded the Pulitzer for his latest volume, “The Flying Change,” a collection of 36 poems described by one critic as “concealing intense intricacies under apparently simple surfaces and oldfashioned, formal structures.” A professor in the Department of ' Literature at American University, Mr. Taylor juggles writing along with an avid interest in the history of his native Loudoun County. He is also working on a critique of contemporary American poets, and has written a book called “Writing on Computers: A Real Book for Real I Writers.” Mr. Taylor’s family has lived in ; Loudoun County since 1780, and his ;poetry reveals a deep feeling for the area and the values which have kept it — until recently — “a very stable agricultural society made up of a bunch of communities... (which) remained amazingly stable even through such relatively apocalyptic ; periods as the Civil War.” The thread which entwines both (his poetry and his historical writing is this love of the land, which is eviI dent as he describes it. “Things that have happened on this land are things I have known longer than I have known other things. And the ^deepest things when they bubble to the surface tend to stir the strongest •urges to write.” His boyhood habit of riding his horse through the fields of western Loudoun County has turned into the self-described “obsession” of a man who criss-crosses the county in his pickup truck and peruses the old land records at the county courthouse. If he’s not there, he’s likely to be found travelling the county’s -more remote roads scouring the countryside for evidence of the area’s earliest inhabitants. His fascination with the history of Loudoun County grew from a ae-.. ries of articles he did on rural life. From that innocuous beginning, thd»’ HENRY TAYLOR interest blossomed to encompass the platting of 18th century deeds onto maps of the county, which has revealed, among other things, the progress of the settlement of the area by its German and Quaker immigrants. Does he find incongruity in his two interests, poetry and historical research? Not at all, answers Mr. ' Taylor. Both pursuits require the same attributes: patience and precision. He speaks with a twinge of regret when he describes how the pressures of development are eroding the traditional lifestyle which he has enjoyed since childhood. Yet, he says he understands how a farmer, faced with declining income and skyrocketing expenses, finds it unrealistic to hold on to the family homestead solely for sentimental, reasons. Mr. Taylor professes to be realistic about the inevitability of change in his beloved county. And, he adds, he will change too. He says that the pleasure of Ids diverse interests lies in "learning how to do things you didn’t know how to do.” That willingness to learn, to try new things, extends to his poetry as well. “The Flying Change” is Mr. Taylor's third volume. His first, "The Horse Show at Midnight,” was published in 1966. He credits a leave of absence item his undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia as the factor which enabled the book to be published before he earned Ms ‘'master’s degree. “An Afternoon of Pocket Billiards,” his second work, was published in 1976. In addition to Ms teaching at AU, Mr. Taylor has participated in a Poetry in the Schools program for grade school students in Loudoun bounty. “I kka going into a roofh full *, nnp y w-toyjjiBraftifc.i iiyti m "t^ontlnuedonPagh 14) ft LEXUS PLAY CUPID FOR YOU W We have a variety of cut flowers, silk flower arrangements and potted plants.

V Editorial The lottery vote It appears likely that Virginians will get the chance to decide this November whether or not they want a state-run lottery. With both houses of the state legislature approving bills establishing a lottery and putting the issue to referendum, all that remains to be worked out is the specific language of the different bills. We think an issue with such moral considerations as the lottery question is best decided directly by the people. The lottery is a uniquely controversial issue, with supporters saying it will net the state an estimated $400 million annually and opponents warning it will drain poor people’s money and invite organized crime into the state. Regardless of the pros and cons of the matter, the basic issue is whether the state should be operating what is in effect a statewide game of chance. The real issue is a moral question—one that all the study and debate in Richmond can’t resolve adequately. This is one for the people to decide. But senators and delegates beware: Referendums must not serve as a way to avoid making the tough decisions voters expect of their elected leaders. After all, in a representative form of government, legislators are elected to represent their constituents, and that means making decisions on their behalf. We have every right to expect our state representatives to study carefully the complex issues confronting us and to examine proposed legislation thoroughly. The legislative process is a complicated one, and even the most informed citizen can’t be expected to know the specific details of the . amnimria of proposed legislation or to devote his or her l undivided attention to the political maneuverings in , , Richmond. That’s what our representatives are there for—to study the issues, speak their mind and vote their conscience. If legislators begin relying on referendums to avoid accountability to the voters, they will be guilty of dereliction of their duty to represent their constituents. Lottery referendum set By DONALD DEL ROSSO AraaM Ncmpapcn KlduMai Bonn RICHMOND — Barring any unforeseen roadblocks, Virginians will go to the polls in November to decide if they want a state-run lottery. On Tuesday afternoon the Senate narrowly passed legislation to set up a lottery. The Senate also agreed, by a wider margin, to put the issue to referendum. Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax) said he backed the companion bills because he believes lingering, moral decisions should be left to the voters. “I frankly don’t like lotteries,” he explained. “I’m not a super proponent of supporting state government that way.” Still, he added, “The polls have shown considerable voter interest in the lottery. Let the people decide.” The Senate passed two pieces of lottery legislation Tuesday. By a 2119 vote, it approved a bill to set up the lottery game. And in a 27-13 vote, sentors authorized a referendum on the question for the November 1967 ballot. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles has agreed to sign legislation allowing the lottery referendum. Debate in the Senate Monday afternoon on this controversial issue was relatively subdued, mirroring arguments made for and against the lottery during an intense three-hour debate in the House last week. On Tuesday, however, during the Senate’s third reading of the lottery bQl, opponents launched a lastditch effQrt to kill the legislation. Sen. Howard P. Anderson (DHahfax) led the floor opposition on Monday, introducing nine amendments that would have outright killed the legislation or have delayed it for a year with the hope that a new General Assembly would nullify the 1967 legislation. The senator, in an emotional plea, urged his colleagues to "stand up and bite the bullet, one way or the other,” thereby avoiding the charge that they “copped out” by supporting a referendum. Sen. Anderson warned that once the voters decide, “you and I have nothing else to say about it; it be comes law.” The senators would be “abdicating our responsibility” by not voting the matter on the floor, he said. Lottery sponsor Sen. William E. Fears (D-Accomack) accused Sen. Anderson of trying to scotch the lot* tery by giving it the “fish treatment,” which prompted hearty laughter and a corrective chant ol “the shad treatment” from his colleagues. The shad treatment means to whittle away at legislation in the manner of slowly cleaning a fish. Shad is of the salmon family, which runs upstream during tiie apple blossom season. Sen. Fears said a referendum is needed because the lottery is a “moral issue to a lot of people” and thus should be decided by the voters. He noted that such “moral” issues as liquor by the drink and parimutuel betting were put to referendum. The lottery should be handled likewise, he added. He accused Sen. Anderson and Senate opponents of the lottery ol “trying to stall everything as long aa they can.” An Anderson amendment to delay a Senate decision on the lottery for a year failed by a 24-16 vote. Sen. Anderson’s amendment tc restrict the sale of lottery ticket* through state agencies also failed bj voice vote. Sen. Wiley F. Mitchell Jr. (R Alexandria) wanted the lottery revenue deposited in a state housing trust fund. That amendment failed, wit) Sen. Fears saying that the allocatioi of lottery funds for housing need) would disproportionately benefit Northern Virginians. The chief House patron of the lottery, Del J. W. “Billy” O’Brien (DVirginia Beach), says the game eventually will generate more than $400 million annually for the state. The House and Senate version! of the lottery legislation diffei slightly. If need be, they will be worked out in conference committee. »-■-- *rVCW pBOKVvflBj Rappahannock Heritage AS THE SUN SHONE, and temperature rose, the mountains of snow deposited on die county last week slowly melted. C ' _:_ . ' ' • •___ . - ' - I— ------ - -- Letters to die editor Mr. Lane’s position To the editor I write this letter today to explain in my own words, my vote of Jan. 5 regarding the Rappahannock County High School improvement program. Several yean ago, when I was a member of the Rappahannock County School Board, we worked diligently to bring to this county an improvement plan which would overcome the deficiencies of our building. Architects woe interviewed and selected, and instructed to help us come up with a plan that not only complemented our high school, but also realized the best value for our residents. Many ideas were discussed and researched,, and ,trip H - .T boring districts had remodel their gymnasiums— to -create classroom and tibrary space. Knowing that Rappahannock County was determined to get the best dollar value, our architects came bock with the plan we have now, with one mgjor difference. The original pkui, or recommendation, was to be made of pre-engineered steel The reason for this was simple indeed. It would save us over a million dollars in the long run. It would mean that we would borrow some $750,000 less than we would have to with brick and mortar. This has been documented several times in the past by our newspaper, and architects’ proposals which are of record in our files. Before the vote of the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 5, I expressed my support for the improvements at the high school, as I have for years. I tried to explain clearly that I was in favor of the project, but that I was against spending over a million dollars that we did not have, if we didn’t need to. Check the record. From the first moment the supervisors mentioned changing the plans to brick and mortar, I have opposed it. The reasons again are simple. Our architects told us that it would darn near double our costs ibr little added benefit or life span. Let us not be too quick to forget our experience in building our school administration/bus shop facility recently. When costs had been estimated at (489,000, we actually built this facility for (129,000. This, to me, represents a potential savings of (310,000 or several times the acbannock that I stand so firmly for What I feel is ri^tt. For surely as tax rates continue to rise, it will dramatically change the fece of Rappahannock County. Agriculture will be consumed by development, and we will become “Loudounized.” To improve our schools is one of the few changes we can make in Rappahannock’s beat interests. In closing, I feel adamantly that management and common sense must transcend political actions, or our fate is governmental mediocrity. Our million ' dollars could have been better spent on making the present building more energy efficient, or fixing the roof properly so our renewed school will not have the old buckets in the classrooms and hallways, or for needed improvements in professional salaries. NELSON P. LANE Supervisor StonewaU-Hawthorne District An inevitable disaster To the editor: A deer population explosion in the state, of Virginia and Rappahannock County in particular seems imminent in spite of our “best efforts.” Why? 1) A casual haphazard approach and attitude by a game commission seeking public hearings and community officials’ opinions in lieu of a concrete management program led by professional deer management biologists with active authority. 2) Federal/state/private land conflicts. 3) Preservationist/federal judge injunction syndrome (such as the Remount Station incident some years ago). 4) Conflicts of personal interests as evidenced by landowners suffering deer damage on ported land! 5) Well-meaning but misguided pressures against an effective doe harvest and a general lack of public education. 6) An apathetic and uninterested general public. Given all of this, it appears to me that citizens are going to have to gird up their loins and prepare to weather out the inevitable. The history of deer populations in the U.S. indicates a dismal failure in population control, even in federally controlled lands without the conflicts Virginia has. Without any, or little, management the deer population is due to spike, then crash, and given the present circumstances there is very little anyone is going to do about it. Creation of this economic disaster is tragic and unnecessary. The state needs some sweeping -reforms before we, or the deer, will escape the course we're now on. KEN GILPIN Petersburg, Alaska . Flint Hill Letters to the Editor The Rappahannock News is year newspaper. We encourage our readers to express their feelings on matters of public concern. “Letters to the Editor” provides a forum for your opinion. Letters should be concise. Letters must reach the editor by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for publication that week. Letters may be mailed to the Rappahannock Newt, P.O. Box 69, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office on Main Street, Washington. Consider other factors To the editor: In its Jan. 22 editorial, The Rappahannock News praised the Washington Town Council for its endorsement of the Architectural Review Board's outlawing of Mrs. Sisk’s chainlink fence. I could hardly believe my eyes as I read the saga of the Sisk fence, but an editorial applauding this decision? Let’s see what we have here. We have a fence - standard chainlink, not the prettiest type fencing but about the only kind that keeps dogs ptit. It is visible, but not noticeably so, from the street. It is neat as a pin, just like the Sisk house and garden. It replaces a tired, scrufly old woven-wire fence. We also have a grand lady of 74 who was widowed a year ago. She and Mr. Sisk slowly built up their little property over 47 years (471), making it one of Washington’s little show places, ^ Just after Mrs. Sisk celebrates her first painful Christmas without the husband she lost last Christmas Eve, she learns that her new dog* proof fence has been ruled ‘inappropriate” under the Town’s new architectural standards. Now, Mrs. Sisk learns that she must tear down her new fence or she will be sued by the Town (The News reports that the Town Council directed its lawyer, Frank Reynolds, “to do what is necessary to effect the ARB’s decision of inappropriateness - including legal action.”) What should she do? She knows she can’t afford the destruction and reconstruction of a fence; must she now also hire a lawyer she cant afford? Will the sheriff arrive at her door with a legal summons? Will they dap her in jail? They left her no out - down with the fence or get sued. It’s baffling - almost incomprehensible. And it hurts. It’s enough to send a person’s blood pressure soaring. What else have we here? We have a panel of three judges who rule that chainlink is a no-no. One of these judges had to have wrestled hard with her decision because she has many times the amount of the Sisk chainlink fencing ih her backyard, to house her German shepherd kennels, all within the Town of Washington, well within public view. Her fence is “grandfathered,” but I assume it is just as inappropriate as the Sisk fence - or maybe more so because there’s more of it? So, yes, this must have been "a tough decision” that, as the News observes, “deserves our respect.” But was it the correct decision? Or the right decision? Could or should tiie. ARB have considered other factore? Compromised? Should it have considered the hiunan factors of Mrs. Sisk’s situation - her age, her recent widowhood, her 47 years in that house, her financial difficulties, her health? Could the ARB have weighted this fence against other “inappropriatenesaes” such as a costly but nonconforming building or painting a house passionate pursue - both intrusions of such enormity that they could not be defended, the one irreversible because of cost, the other too awfiil to live with? Could this fence have been viewed as a very miN nor inappropriateness? Could the ARB have considered this: stipulating that the fence could remain during Mrs. Sisk’s occupancy of the house but that it must come down when the house changes title to new ownership? What about the simplicity of a stipulation that a wonderful clematis vine be planted this spring so that within afew years no one could even remember this forbidden chainlink? And are there not caring people around Washington to help Mrs. Sisk see to these plantings? Were any such possibilities considered? Does the Town Council really fear a backlash from such common consideration of a wonderful senior member of its community? The very reason for grandfathering, variance and exception provisions is to provide flexibility so that people’s lives are not unduly or cruelly disrupted. The occasional case like the Sisk fence is hardly going to erode the power and authority of the Town Council to govern effectively, so long as its deliberations are open and candid. The News applauds the law being enforced “blindly, without regard to the individuals involved.” This is not the practice in our courts at any level. YouthfUl first offenders receive special consideration •• and fighter sentences, to name' aA obvious example. Trial' testimony is foil of extCrttiating Circumstances that affect a judge’s or a jury’s decision. As to being held to less stringent standards than others, Rappahannock County itself has led the way. For years it ignored state statutes fin* an animal shelter or a new landfill. Long after most other Virginia counties had complied with the new laws, Rappahannock’s government obtained extension after extension of time. It had to be sued before it even began to comply with the shelter requirement. And it sailed ahead with improvements to its court house - right under the Town Council's nose - without so much as a glance at long-standing federal and state laws mandating access. Not liking the Richmond regs, it took its time, with an occasional wail of “hardship” along the way. Had the law been applied blindly, Rappahannock surely would have received some punishment for its foot-dragging. Lawyers may hiss warnings about precedents, but there are moments and cases where common sense and decency must prevail. Too much in Our lives is entrusted to the opinions, cautions, directives and governance of lawyers now, and we are not the better for iti They cannot substitute for sound administration by elected officials representing their constituents’ best interests, listening to their own inner voices and acting upon their own convictions. In its march forward into the past, Washington sometimes seems bent upon rewriting its history. Before people start believing it, pre1900s Washington was anything but the smart, sleek, polished, homogenized Williamsburg clone that is presently being created. That old Washington was a typical, simple, remote, rural, rugged Virginia town, unaffected by city influences. l%e creators of the new Washmgton are developing a theme park in the same vein as Busch Gardens, or a transplanted Swiss village, or Disneyland. It is apparently good business and attractive to many people (although far from all). Fine, if that’s what you want. But “preservation” it is not. And it is pricing out of existence country folk like Mrs. Side who were the backbone of the town for the past 250 years. As the winds of change blow across Rappahannock and Washington, we can harness them to breathe more easily - or we can wheeze on choking regimentation of ever more areas of our lives. Mrs. Sisk’s fence would be as good a place as any tc “lighten up” and admit that the Town is not inviting anarchy if it recants and lets a grand lady have hei fence and live in peace.

ARB approves access plan By LOU HATTER mil Mii.OMlTWrttar Washington’s Architectural Review Board, at its meeting Jan. 15, approved plans for a “Wheelvator” to allow access to the courthouse for handicapped persons. Zoning Administrator John McCarthy appeared before the board with details of the proposal, which will provide an entrance to both the first and second floors of the building from the north side. Mr. McCarthy raid that existing windows on both floors will be replaced with doors. The covered chairlift is fitted with doors on both the front and back so that wheelchairs can easily be moved on and off. The 750-pound capacity lift will fold flat against the building when not in use. A square box fitted flush against the building will house the lift’s drive. Mr. McCarthy told the board that the chairlift is “the latest in a series of architectural solutions presented to the Board of Supervisors.” He reminded the ARB that the state and federal governments have mandated that any public buildings, regardless of historic significance, in which public business, including court, is held, must be accessible to handicapped people. He explained several other approaches which had been considered, and rejected, before architect Michael Bednar presented the chairlift design which was subsequently approved by the board. Due to building regulations, the three-foot wide stairway cannot be narrowed to accommodate a lift along those stairs. Widening the stairway would mean “wholesale renovation,” including moving the building’s plumbing, Mr. McCarthy said. a suggestion tnat tne access oe approached from the back of the building was also rejected when it was found that the rear wall is a main load-bearing wall, and the structural renovation necessary to accomplish the entry “would do more to destroy the building’s historic integrity than anything else,” Mr. McCarthy said. He added that the lift would be painted a brick red, to blend with the building, and that the doors and trim would be painted to match the rest of the building. To accommodate wheelchairs, the walkway from the parking lot at the back of the courthouse will be widened and regraded to eliminate any steps. Two parking spaces reserved for handicapped persons will also be provided on the rear lot near the walkway. ,..x “It looks, like you’ve done your homework,” observed ARB chairman Carol Miller, adding that “this has got to be done.” “I have no problem,” agreed Evelyn Willis. Jim Thomasson, the ARB’s third member, also agreed, and the application was approved unanimously. An application from Franklin and Esther Schmidt for s sign st their photography studio, located in the old packing shed on Porter Street, was also approved unanimously. The "Franklin Photography" sign, which will measure 17V4 by 25 inches, will be white with black lettering and trim. The board discussed several suggestions for tightening the wording of the historic district ordinance, which governs the decisions of the ,r ARB. Mrs. Willis suggested that Section 4 be amended to state that issuance of an occupancy permit be contingent upon certification of compliance with the requirements of the ordinance. She also suggested that the guidelines in Section 7 of the ordinance be better defined as to what is meant by "reconstruction by right.” Mr. McCarthy told the board that he had talked with town attorney Frank Reynolds about reviewing the ordinance and rewriting certain sections. He added that he had talked to officials in several other localities, and was disappointed to learn that "their ordinances are not much more informative as to specifics than ours is.” There are two extremes, he said: "The Reston Homeowners Association, which is specific down to the square foot, and other historic district ordinances, which are as vague as ours is.” Mr. McCarthy agreed to present suggestions for strengthening the ordinance to the board at its meeting Feb. 12. lhe board also reviewed the situation regarding a chain-link fence on Mrs. Irving Sisk’s property behind The Inn at Little Washington on Main Street. An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, required by the historic district ordinance for all construction within public view, was denied by the board at its November meeting. Mrs. Miller said that The Inn, which had applied for the certificate through its contractor, Peter Kreyling, had been notified of the board’s decision by certified mail. Mr. Kreyling, she added, had assured her that the fence would be removed by Christmas. “As we know, the fence has not been removed.” She also said that, contrary to information given the board at the November meeting, the chain-link fence at the back of Mrs. Sisk’s property is on the lot owned by Charles Cannon. Mrs. Miller said that she had spoken about the situation with Mr. Reynolds, who told her that The Iim,: through its 'attorney - David Dickey, was taking the position that “it’s not our fence. It's on Mrs. Sisk’s property.” Mr. Dickey added that he felt that the ARB did not notify the proper person. Subsequently, Mrs. Miller continued, Mr. McCarthy sent letters to (Continued on Page 14) -. _ ^ ^ This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Feb. 9,1967, edition The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors met Friday for their regular February meeting.

RICHARDSON Extension Agcat When strolling the halls of the Rappahannock Elementary School in the mornings, not only does one see and hear the young people laboring over their dasswork, but one might also encounter aromas coming from the lunchroom that just make the mouth water. There’s no escaping; if one isn’t hungry when one cranes in, one is before one leaves. These dedicated workers generally arrive around 8:15 a.m. to begin preparing the 450 or so lunches it takes to feed the students at RCES daily, according to lunchroom manager Pat Jenkins. Following a recipe in the lunchroom is quite different from recipes followed by homemakers. These cooks deal with the equivalents of quarts and pounds, rather than cups and teaspoons. Pat Jenkins graciously shares three cookie recipes the students seem to eiyoy the most. She hesitated a bit with one recipe. "I’m telling my secret ingredient. If the students know what is really in these cookies, they might decide they don’t like them any more.” Not only are these recipes used in the lunchroom environment, but they find their way to bake sales where they are good sellers. On occasion, people ask for the recipes. Ms. Jenkins cautions readers not to stack the Sweet “P” cookies be cause they have a tendency to stick together. The glaze is never used when these cookies are made at school. As Ms. Jenkins says,' “We simply don’t have the time. ” The recipes for Sweet “P" cookies and Snickerdoodles are adapted for home use. May you and yours enjoy not only the fine aromas, but the good eatin’ as well!

It's this: God tells NEW STORIES every day for those with eyes to see.

God's NEW STORIES are all around us. I have to believe that some of God’s newest and greatest stories are still in the mind of God, just waiting for us to open our lives so he can tell the stories through us Yes, little one, God does have new stories.

This program, sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Academically Talented Youth (CTY), attempts through testing to identify mathematically and verbally gifted youth in the 12 to 14-year-old range. To qualify to participate in the program, 7th graders must have scored in the 97th percentile or better on national standardized testing administered during the past year. The second stage of the program requires participating youngsters to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Board Examination, which is designed to measure the academic aptitude of collegebound juniors and seniors. In preparation for these tests which students across the nation will take on Jan. 24, Wakefield’s 7th graders have been attending special Saturday classes at Wakefield where they work practice tests and math and word drills. According to Wakefield headmaster William Lynn, who has been conducting the Saturday classes, the students are very highly motivated to succeed on the test and are working harder than any previous group he has taught. Each year, he said, Wakefield has had students who were among the highest scorers in the nation. These students were the recipients of scholarships to universities and colleges, and were invited to participate in summer programs sponsored by CTY. Mr. Lynn said he tells students in the program that they are in special training, like athletes before an event. To do their best, he said, they must be in top shape as well as relaxed and self-confident. The Wakefield 7th graders participating in the CTY program this year include Tim Andreae, Willie Dangelo-Horvath, Detra Funk, Justin Harrell, Jamie Hutt, Michael Irani, Laura Larimer, Trevor McCall, Alison Martin, Kathleen O’Neill, Bobby Ohlinger, i Samara Sargent, John Viega and Ryan Viguerie.

With age, the body becomes less able to respond to the cold. As a result, even relatively mild cold weather can cause some older people to develop accidental hypothermia, a drop in body temperature to 95° F or below that can be fatal if it is not detected and treated promptly. Certain diseases and drugs can even make a person more vulnerable to this condition. The best way to detect hypothermia is to use a special low-reading thermometer, available in most hospitals. A regular thermometer will do as long as you shake it down well. If the temperature is below 95°F or does not register, get emergency medical help. Other signs to look for are: a change in appearance or behavior during cold weather; slow, and sometimes irregular, heartbeat; slurred speech; shallow, very slow breathing; sluggishness; and confusion. Treatment for accidental hypothermia consists of rewarming the person under a doctor's supervision, preferably in a hospital. The best precautions against hypothermia are: • Dress warmly, including a hat or cap--even when indoors--eat enough food, and stay as active as possible. • Because hypothermia may start during sleep, keep warm in bed by wearing enough clothing and using blankets. • Ask your doctors whether some of the medications you take—especially those to treat anxiety, depression, nervousness, or nausea—might affect your body temperature. • Have friends or neighbors lookun on you regularly, particularly during a cold spell. Some communities have a telephone check-in or personal visit service for the elderly or homebound. Caution, common sense, and prompt medical care can help older people have a healthy winter.

Wakefield goes to Denmark As most Wakefield students take to the slopes of Bryce Mountain next week for the school’s Winter Sports Week, 26 students of the Preparatory School will journey to Denmark for a week of winter sightseeing. Accompanied by three teachers, the students will fly to Copenhagen firom New York via SAS on Sunday and will return a week later. One of the main objectives of this trip, organized by Wakefield’s History Department, is the Viking Museum in the Danish capital, containing the world’s largest display of Norse artifacts and items of early Medieval interest. About the size of Massachusetts and New Hampshire combined, Denmark is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries, and can be toured successfully in a week’s time. To prepare for the trip, the students have stayed after school several times for special instruction in Danish history and geography, government, ami general culture.^ . Five exchange students attend RCHS this year By DEBORAH FLINCHUM IwAnMck N«w» Spadal Writer Foreign exchange students from Switzerland, Denmark, England, Norway and Mexico are residing with local families and attending Rappahannock County High School during the 1966-87 school session. Silvia Elisa Aguilar is a senior from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She is involved in the Girl Scouts, 4-H, the Mt. Lebanon Church youth group, SCA, chorus and drama. Her hobbies include listening to music, dancing, reading mysteries and romance novels, and attending basketball games. She ei\joys being a member of community organizations and supporting school events. She said, “I think this can be one of the best ways to learn about American life and at the same time eryoy the company of others and all the activities that we can do.” Basketball games are a special treat to her because she never had the opportunity to attend games at her Mexican school. Silvia wanted to visit the United States because she was eager to learn new things, customs, meet people and experience different ways of thinking. In Mexican schools, the students stay in the same room and the teachers travel from room to room. There is no cafeteria, just a store where the students can buy potato chips, sodas, candies and other pre-packaged items. Ethics, logic, etymology, art history and philosophy are among the subjects offered at her school back home. Most students take nine classes each semester; therefore some classes meet only two or three days a week. Silvia has found that the prevailing impression of most Mexicans that Americans are materialistic and demanding is not true. She misses dance classes, her social service group and her church. However, die continues to enjoy the new friends she has made at RCHS. She intends to live in Mexico after graduation. Silvia feels that the purpose of the exchange program is to take back her new knowledge of the United States to Mexico to promote a better understanding between the two countries. Thomas Breivik, from Oslo, Norway, is an 11th grader who participates in soccer and the Student Cooperative Association. His hobbies include skiing, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing and ice skating. He has acquired two new hobbies while here: letter writing and dishwashing. ... . We think the best way toget to know you, is to send you on your way.

Seated, from left: Richard Perriman, Silvia Aguilar. Thomas wanted to come to the U. S. because “I wanted to get to learn your culture and your way of living better. I think it is important to get out in the world and to learn to see things from different points of view.” The scholastic sports program is new to Thomas because there is no such program in Norway. He misses the skiing possibilities there, his two dogs and living by the ocean. Right now, however, he appreciates being able to learn about a different culture. Thomas is considering attending a college in the United States. He has learned to like this country very much, and would like to spend a few more years of his life here. Annette Mueller, a senior from Switzerland, eryoys volleyball, cross-country, track, Girl Scouts, being a member of the Varsity Club, reading, horseback riding and music. She is a member of the RCHS cross-country team this year. Annette wanted to come to the U. S. to see how other people and their lifestyles are different and to learn English better. “This school is much more fun. You are doing more different things like plays, class rings, and games against other schools,” Annette said as she compared Switzerland’s schools to RCHS. She is most impressed with the freedom of Americans to do what they want to do. Many of her friends in Switzerland dream of coming to America. In her Swiss school students in fr each class stay grouped together all day, so they know each other very well. . Annette would like to come back to this country because she can’t imagine going back to Switzerland and never seeing her American friends again. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be staying with a nice family, but her fears of homesickness never came true because she is living with a “great family.” Richard Perriman is from Skipton, Yorkshire, England. He is an 11th grader who eiyoys watching basketball games, going to school, cycling, and attending dances and parties. He especially eiyoys football and basketball because there is little opportunity to eiyoy those sports in England. Also, he added, they are a good way to meet other people. When asked why he wanted to come to study in the United States he said, “There are many different walks of life that can be taken. I just thought that it would be a great experience for me to see the different culture of the U. S.” School and team spirit are the biggest contrasts between RCHS and English schools that he has found. English schools have sports, and schools battle against each other, but there is no school or community support of the teams; therefore, no school spirit. Richard misses the freedom he had in England. For instance, he could go anywhere on his own or cycle 40 miles from his home without his parents.needing to be concerned about his safety. He finds it impossi ble to do those things here. Richard is torn about where he wants to live after graduation. The job situation in England is very bad - but he really likes living there. His parting comment was “Broncos for Super Bowl victory!” Eleventh grader Berit Waage Skovgaard of Rommerup, Denmark, is a member of the high school’s newspaper staff, a chorus member, a Girl Scout and a church youth group member. She was a Girl Scout for six years in Denmark and is very happy to be able to continue her participation in this country. A church youth group is new to her because there are few church-related activities for young people in her country. She noted that the Americans are much more religious than the Danes. Few Danes attend church regularly or say “Grace” in their homes. “I chose to come to the U. S. because it is a country which plays an important role in the world and therefore also in my life. By learning about you and your country, I am trying to get a better understanding of what you stand for. I am not only learning about your country but also about myself and my own country.” Schools in Denmark are not divided into elementary and high school, so all students go to the same school. Her school there was a little smaller than RCHS. However, it lacked the school spirit which she found here. Berit plans to live in Denmark upon graduating. She likes it here and she will never regret coming here. In fact, she has thought that she would like to stay here or return later to visit her American family and all of her other friends. But Denmark is her “home.” Most of the students agreed that it is important to keep an open mind when visiting another country and it’s best to study that country’s language and culture before going there. They added that being involved in activities and meeting new friends is an important aspect of a successful foreign visit. There was one important aspect which was noted by all. Thomas summarized it by saying, “There is not a right or wrong way of doing! things.” ; Silvia added, “The way you do itj is just different. You don’t have to change your thinking in order to ap-J predate another way of thinking^ This is very important to affrays raj member.” '• 1 A remarkable PC XT at a remarkably low price. $2495* mmmmm Get IBM PC XT quality at the best price ever.

Contractors (Continued from Page 1) censing . . . Though ultimately, I may have to go along with this,” he said. “I think we have an enforcement problem, not a certification problem.” A licensing requirement will give Rappahannock “an educated work force,” Mr. Smet said. “It will increase the work force, not decrease it,” and won’t add to construction or renovation costs. “Shoddy work will cost a homeowner a whole lbt more in the long run than work that was done right to begin with,” he said. “An unlicensed worker is definitely not going to pick up the tab to correct his mistakes.” But more important than cost considerations is safety, according to the building inspector. “What I’m concerned with most of all is one day having a serious accident . . . We have electricians working in this county who have never heard of the building code. They’ll put in electrical wire that’s too light to carry the load. They’ll put in too many receptacles ...” “But that’s what we pay a building official for - to find those problems (before an occupancy permit is issued),” Supervisor Henry said. “But then who pays the price for rewiring the house? The homeowner!” countered Mr. Smet. “Electrical work is the dangerous part,” agreed Robert Eastham, speaking from the audience. “I can’t use names . . . but we’ve lost homes and lost lives because of short circuits caused by electrical wiring. Does Mr. Smet’s proposal solve that problem?” With a certification program, “you’ll have more assurance that you’ll get the work done by a qualified electrician who will follow the code,” the building inspector replied. Mr. Eastham added that safety hazards are created through ignorance by self-styled electricians who “don’t know a watt from an ampere.” “Just because I own a pick-up truck and a hammer doesn’t make me a carpenter, and just because I own a pair of linesman’s pliers doesn’t make me an electrician,” agreed Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, who is himself a licensed contractor. “Once they’re certified, people understand how to put up a house that meets the code, a house that’s safe.” And with adoption of a local licensing program, “everybody doesn’t have to be a certified plumber or * electrician,” he said, noting that unlicensed helpers may work under a certified contractor. “All I’m asking is the opportunity to have a public hearing on this matter,” said the building inspector. “I have no problem with that, but the ordinance should be refined first,” said Supervisor Miller. The board set a work session on the cer tification ordinance for Tuesday, Feb. 17, with a public hearing tentatively scheduled for March. New procedures proposed John McCarthy, administrative assistant to the supervisors, presented the first draft of rules of procedures for board meetings. By consensus, the supervisors agreed to post the proposed regulations and delay adoption until March to give an opportunity for response. Under the suggested rules, an agenda will be prepared a week prior to monthly meetings, with copies available at the clerk’s office, the zoning office and the courthouse. In addition, a copy will be provided to The Rappahannock News. Parties wishing to place items on the agenda must contact the clerk a week before the regularly scheduled meetings. Once the agenda is drawn and posted, additional matters may be presented for consideration at board meetings only with the unanimous concurrence of the supervisors. “I just don’t want to make it difficult for a member of the public to get an issue considered,” said Supervisor Miller. “I don’t either,” agreed Chairman Gilkey. Mr. Luke, who assisted the board’s administrative assistant with drafting the proposed rules, explained the agenda timetable as “an attempt to avoid you all being ambushed . . . coming to the meeting unprepared and having something thrown at you for a decision.” In addition, he said, doing an agenda beforehand will give, the public advance notice of what will be considered at a board meeting. In other action, the supervisors: • Directed Mr. Luke to draft a resolution clearing the way for the county to accept contributions towards repayment of the $1.5 million literary loan for the high school expansion. • Set payment at $20 per meeting for the members of the Board of Assessors now working in connection with the ongoing reassessment of county real estate. • Reappointed Jon Morgan to the Board of Building Appeals. • Authorized the solicitation of bids for a four-wheel drive vehicle for the sheriffs department. • Denied the School Board’s request to retain $4,214 derived from an auction of school property and a refund of overpayment towards workers’ , compensation insurance and directed instead that the money be placed in the county’s general ftmd. • Authorized solicitation of bids on work to remove barriers to the handicapped at the courthouse. • Asked Mr. McCarthy to investigate the possibility of offering health coverage through the county’s policy to welfare department staff.

I’m living on credit cards,” he reported, explaining the urgency in obtaining subdivision approval so he can get clear title to the land on which his house sits and qualify for a mortgage. While the urgency may be new, Mr. Frazier’s problem in getting a clear title to the land on which his house sits is more than a year old. According to records on file in the zoning office, Mr. Frazier applied in November 1985 for a building permit to erect a two-story, wood frame house on 115 acres near Flint Hill. Since the deed to the property was held by Willie A. Gentry, thenzoning administrator Emil Smet required his permission before issuing the building permit. In an undated letter, Mr. Gentry gave F. Glenn Frazier authority to “purchase a building permit for property that he has purchased from me on October 15, 1985.” The building permit was issued, the house was erected and Mr. Frazier was given a temporary occuDancv Dermit. However, the building permit expired in November 1986, before the work necessary for the final building inspection was completed. In a rambling letter requesting an extension, Mr. Frazier attributed the delay to difficulties in finding a surveyor to survey the property. "Having run out of money to put into it (house and building) I have needed to secure a morgage (sic) on it, which is impossible without a deed, and I can’t get a deed until it is surveyed. I tried every surveyor between here and Texas and 99 percent told me they would be right there.” Mr. Frazier wrote the zoning office three months ago, adding that none of the surveyors had followed through on their promise to do the work. . Faced at Monday’s meeting with Mr. Frazier’s petition for emergency approval of his subdivision, Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that before a special exception permit may be granted, both the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission must hold public hearings which must first be advertised for twc weeks. “Even if we have a joint public hearing, that’s going to push it back to Feb. 18 (before the permit could be issued),” he told Mr. Frazier. “I don’t Bee how you could proceed without a public hearing,” concurred Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, the board’s legal advisor. “You don’t have the authority to give him what he wants without a public hearing.” Mr. Frazier complained that the new zoning ordinance had been adopted without provision for a grace period for those who thought they were working under the old land use regulations. That’s like changing the rules for one team in the ninth inning of the last World Series game, he charged. “You’ve got to have a grace period!” “In essence, a new ball season began when we enacted the new zoning ordinance,” countered Supervisor Henry. He added, however, that the board is sympathetic to Mr. Frazier’s situation. “We want to do everything we can to help.” Supervisor Miller added that if the special exception is granted for the subdivision WITHOUT the required public hearings, any nearby limdowner could bring an injunction to stop the land division. The supervisors voted to schedule a joint public hearing on Mr. Frazier’s special exception application at the Planning Commission’s meeting Feb. 18 and to defer payment of his $75 permit application fee. “Do you want to do it this way?" asked Supervisor Charles Estes. “Provided I still have a house by then,” Mr. Frazier answered. “I think you proceeded in good faith, Mr. Frazier, but I think you proceeded in bad judgement,” concluded Supervisor Miller. former county superintendent now acting head for Prince William Dr. William Bloomer, former superintendent of Rappahannock County’s public schools, has been named acting superintendent for Prince William County’s school system. t)r. Bloomer took over the top position on Jan. 2 after the Prince William County School Board bought out the remaining years in former superintendent Richard Johnson’s contract. “It’s quite an honor and a privilege to provide the professional leadership for this size school division, even on an interim basis,” said Dr. Bloomer. Prince William County’s system includes 38,000 students and more than 2,000 teachers at 55 schools. The division’s operational budget totals $142 million this year. WHY WAIT FOR WEEKS?

I give them about 20 minutes to do it, and then I stop &_ them and I gay, ‘Okay, let me read you some responses to this assign* ment that were done by some third graders.’ And then I read them about a half-dozen and I say, ”111066 of you who would like to turn yours in are welcome to do so’. ” Mr. Taylor lives on an 11-acre form west of Leesburg with his wife Frannie and their children Thomas and Richard. ARB (Continued from Page 5) both Mrs. Sisk and The Inn notifying them of the ARB’s decision. He also wrote to Mayor Dean Morehouse and outlined the situation. Mrs. Willis (who is also a member of the Town Council) told the board that council had voted the night before to turn the matter over to Mr. Reynolds. The council requested that he meet with Mr. McCarthy and decide on a course of action. "Irrespective of who built it or for whatever reason, it is in violation,” Mrs. Miller concluded. "We have done our job. Now it’s up to council, John McCarthy, Frank Reynolds and the parties concerned.” Depression affects one in four By JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Have you ever felt really depressed? Have you ever known anyone who suffered from the anguish of depression? Do you know what those feelings are like? Or, can you imagine the emotional pain? The President’s Commission on Mental Health says one in four and the American Psychiatric Association reports one in five (9.4 million) Americans suffer from depression. Chances are you have or you will know someone who is depressed. Though the term can describe a normal human emotion, it is also the name of an emotional struggle in which the victim’s moods are seriously disturbed for at least two weeks, and which can lead to serious disability and even death. Experts generally agree' on three possible causes of depression. A predisposition may be inherited through genetic factors. This has been demonstrated clinically by twins who grow up separated, yet both suffer from depression. An individual’s biochemical make-up may be responsible. Drugs such as alcohol, or even prescription drugs, can create a bio-chemical imbalance leading to depression. And, of course, environmental factors are easily identified as causes of depression. These can include stress, financial difficulties or marital separation. In addition to feelings of sadness, hopelessness and irritability, depression also includes many of the following common signs: * rAffliLY r^CU* • Noticeable change of appetite, usually including significant weight gain or loss. • Noticeable change in sleeping pattern: restless sleep, inability to sleep or too much sleep. • Loss of interest in activities previously eigoyed. • Loss of energy and feelings of fatigue. • Feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt. • Inability to concentrate, think or make decisions. • Recurring thoughts of death or suicide, and particularly wishing to or attempting suicide. Experts estimate that between 80 and 90 percent of all depressed people can be effectively treated. Depressive disorders are among the most responsive to treatment. It is, however, sadly true that 60 to 80 percent of people with depressive disorders never seek help. 11118 is especially unsettling because advances in treatment have made it possible for individuals who have suffered bouts of depression to lead normal lives and handle day-to-day responsibilities. Mental health professionals hope that people will become more aware of the help which is available.
