Watts affirms Washington bypass commitment By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New Staff Writer Facing a hall full of environmentalists in Warrenton last month, Transportation Secretary Vivian Watts remained rock steady in her support of a “new transportation corridor” to be built within the next 15 years to relieve congestion on the Capital Beltway. But she was equally firm in her insistence that no route for the proposed superhighway - planned as sue to eight lanes and estimated to cost anywhere from $500 million to $1 billion - has yet been decided. “No one has even begun to draw a line on the map,” she told the audience, most members of the Mid-Fauquier Association, a citizens group which has formally registered opposition to an alternative that would take the highway through Prince William, Fauquier and Loudoun counties and across the Potomac at Point Of Rocks. To bridge the river, Virginia needs the concurrence of Maryland, which to date has opposed the growth-generating superhighway’s crossing there into the farm land of rural Frederick County. Instead, Maryland favors an eastern by-pass which would cross the Potomac northeast of Fredericksburg and link with the Route 301 corridor through Prince George’s County, an area slated for development. Watts said that Virginia is “hopefully getting closer every day” to resolving the issues with Maryland. “We can’t go forward without a cooperative study,” she said, adding that the Commonwealth’s transportation planners need to know what Maryland is going to do with the Route 801 corridor. She raised the possibility that Arundel Newspapers staff graphic BYPASS PROPOSALS UNDER CONSIDERATION reportedly include both Eastern and Western routes. Transportation officials continue to assert that no decisions on locations of any roadways have been made. Maryland could go east with its bypass while Virginia sticks with its proposed western route. “I want to be careful in my terminology.” What, is under consideration is not another beltway but “a by-pass or bypasses,” she said, stressing the plural. “We DONT oppose 301,” she emphasized, adding that the eastern and western routes “are not' mutually exclusive.” At present, the Commonwealth has committed $1.2 million to a study of alternative routes for the new highway corridor and a preliminary environmental assessment. “Given the level of congestion on the beltway and the interstates around Washington, D.C., it warrants a look at the alternatives,” Mrs. Watts maintained. She said the study will examine growth patterns and traffic data, focusing particularly on origin 1 and destination of traffic. A “dialogue” must begin to determine historical sites and environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, she added. The alternative routes, “refined to mile wide corridors,” would then be examined to see if any avoid the wetlands and historic sites, she said. Fauquier Planner Richard McNear asked if anyone in state government is looking at the land use ramifications of the by-pass 20, 30 or 40 years from now on the rural counties it may traverse. According to the draft agreement for the $1.2 million study, the consultants are to assess the highway’s affect on development patterns, Mrs. Watts reported. “But I can’t claim that (the impact question) will be answered in the detail you want,” she told Mr. McNear.

The mottled eggs blend in with a Local resident, business, play host to nesting killdeer By MARNIE TURMAN Rappahannock New* Staff Intern For a number of weeks recently, the Aileen plant outside Flint Hill had the good fortune to have two pairs of killdeers build their nests in the plant’s parking lot. One of the nests was found to contain four large tan eggs which were covered with many different colored blotches. “Everyone at the plant took care of the bird and her eggs,” said Mr. Walker, a manager at the plant. “On breaks, people would go out to be sure that they were okay,” add^d Jo Ann Currens, who works at the plant. The killdeer had been tending their nest for about four weeks when the eggs hatched some time last week. Because the Aileen plant was closed, no one could say precisely when the chicks appeared. In Washington, at Mount Prospect Farm, the Willises had a killdeer build a nest in their driveway. A barrier was constructed to detour cars around the nest so the two eggs would not be disturbed. Evelyn Willis said that the killdeer was there for three weeks and six days. On the sixth day, the killdeer and her eggs were gone. She said they could not find any feathers or shell fragments anywhere, and believes that a snake ate the eggs. The killdeer is the most widely found and abundant shore bird in the United States. Unlike most plovers, it is not confined to the sea shores, but has spread its habitat far from the ocean. In the interior, its common “haunts” are pastures, meadows and cultivated fields. The birds commonly build nests on graveled areas, pastures or cultivated fields. They have even been known to build nests on railroad tracks, pebble-covered roofs, and in parking lots or driveways. According to ornithologists, the male kill deer accompanies and assists the female in the selection of the nesting site. The killdeer scoops out an area in the gravel or dirt for her nest, creating a depression in which the eggs will rest. Sometimes, the male will carefully place wood, stones and weed stalks around the depression, creating a liner. After the nest is completed, the female lays her eggs, usually four, although sometimes there are fewer. The eggs are usually laid between April and June. The time the eggs (See KILLDEER, pace 18) Council approves budget guidelines By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer At its meeting last Wednesday, the Washington Town Council took concrete steps toward the first budget in recent memory which contains money allocated for capital improvements. Treasurer Brad Fisher told council that the town’s revenues for the craning year should be approximately $60,000, of which about $16,000 will be receipts from water customers. He cautioned, however, that the figures he projected are extremely tentative, since the town’s recently enacted restaurant and lodging tax only took effect April 1. His rough estimate for Hie expected revenues from the 2 1/2 percent tax, added to the receipts of all meals and transient lodging within the town, is $30,000 per year. He stressed, however, that even that figure may be subject to revision again based on “what happens with Brambles, or the New Cafe, when it opens again in September.” Mr. Fisher estimated that the Rappahannock National Bank’s franchise tax should be close to $10,000 this fiscal year, and that utility and pole taxes paid by the telephone and electric companies will total about 1 $800. Although building permit fees accounted for $300 in revenue last year, Mr. Fisher said that amount is in question this year. The town’s share of the ABC profits and state sales tax should be close to last year’s figures of $1,000 and $1,600, respectively. The town will no longer receive any federal revenuesharing money. Using Mr. Fisher’s figures, and subtracting the water department revenues, which will be accounted separately, council debated how the remaining $44,000 should be allocated. (Washington’s Water Authority functions as a separate department, and although its income and expenditures are accounted in the town’s general fund, they are listed separately.) Mayor Dean Morehouse prefaced the discussion by stressing that “this is going to be a cash-available budget. Money will not be spent until the revenues are in hand ... We are going to look at bare essentials this year - if we have extra money maybe we can fund something extra but we won’t know until May or June of next year.” Council decided, on Mr. Fisher’s (See BUDGET, page 18) Provision may allow local land transfer tax By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ARCOMrtaff writer Local governments searching for the means and the money to preserve open space have overlooked a provision in the Virginia Code which may confer upon boards of supervisors the authority to levy taxes for just that purpose. “It’s the most under-utilized piece of legislation ever passed,” said Tyson Van Auken, speaking at the work session last month in Annandale of the Virginia General Assembly’s Outdoor Recreation Assessment Joint Committee. The Code’s Open-Space Land Act recognizes that “rapid growth and the spread of urban development are creating critical problems of service and finance for the State and local governments.” It finds the preservation of permanent open space necessary in helping to “curb urban sprawl, to prevent the spread of urban blight and deterioration” and to provide or preserve park, recreational, historic and scenic areas and “to conserve land and other natural resources.” Accordingly, the act allows public bodies to hold title or conservation easements on open space land if its preservation as open space conforms with the locality’s comprehensive plan. It also grants cities, towns and counties the explicit power to “levy taxes and assessments” as well as issue general obligation bonds “for the preservation of open space,” said Mr. Van Auken, who is the execIlf 11TA /llWl/lf AM A f f L A Ultxvinin t - “fc doors Foundation. He construes this “wide authority” as giving local governments the right - with no further enabling legislation from the General Assembly - to enact a local real estate transfer tax as long as the revenue is used solely for open space conservation. “Or maybe the tax could apply just on subdivided plats,” he told the legislators. Cautious optimism marked the response of local officials to Mr. Van Auken’s interpretation. “If it’s true, it’s certainly something local government should be informed about,” said Fauquier's planning director Richard McNear. “It could be a valuable tool in the tool box.” He noted that Fauquier’s comprehensive plan advocates a similar approach of taxing development to pay for conservation, in this case taking revenue from roll-back taxes (charged against property receiving use value taxation when the land is developed to a non-qualifying use and withdrawn from the preferential assessment program) and spending that money for open space conservation. "I'd be very interested in the legal analysis that went into this conclusion,” said Loudoun’s county attorney Ed Finnegan. "I’m not aware of authority that enables a county to establish a new type of rer cordation tax.” John McCarthy, administrative assistant to Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors, agreed that the wording of the Open Space Land Act . appears to give local governments the power Mr. Van Auken says they have to enact a recordation tax with the proceeds going for open space conservation. “But I don’t think that was the General Assembly’s intent and if the Attorney General is asked for an opinion, I’m afraid she’ll say we can’t do it because the intent isn’t there,” he added, pointing out that Dillon’s Rule, the rule of strict construction under which Virginia operates, reserves for the state those powers that aren’t specifically granted to local government. Specific authority for recordation tax proposed At the work session which proceeded the public hearing, one in a series being held around the state this summer, legislators were told of open space preservation programs financed by transfer taxes in other states. ureg Lowe, the vice-president of the Nature Conservancy, a 300,000 member land conservation organization with programs in 45 states, called for the enactment of a statewide real estate transfer tax to provide a stable, long term funding source for the acquisition of open space. “The constituency is there” to support the expenditure of public funds for this purpose, he said, citing a survey which found 81 percent of adult Americans strongly agree that government should act to preserve open areas. “Protection of the best remaining examples of different type habitats,” the goal of the Nature Conservancy, is “so compatible” with passive recreation, such as hiking and picnicking, “the two most prevelant forms of recreation in state parks,” he said. The Nature Conservancy “does not believe in random conservation. Both development AND conservar tion should be planned,” Mr. Lowe continued. “We should pinpoint the (See TAX, page 18)

But for auto repair con artists it’s the season for preying on unsuspecting travelers for a fast buck. “Most auto mechanics are honest,” said James Holleran, vice president of claims at Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO). But there are some unscrupulous ones who make a great deal of money ‘helping’ anxious vacationers get on with their trips.” Mr. Holleran offered the following advice to help consumers avoid auto repair ripoffs. —First and foremost, have your ; car checked out by your regular me; chanic before leaving on your trip. • He may be able to correct minor • problems that could cause major ! headaches if left to the diagnostic ; techniques of a dishonest mechanic. ; The most common breakdowns in• volve the cooling system, brakes, fan and power belts and tires; pay special attention to these areas. —At an unfamiliar service station, stay with your car at all times and watch the attendant closely. Occasionally attendants will “create” problems, such as slashing fan belts or pouring oil on shock absorbers to simulate a leak. —Get a written estimate for any repairs that are needed. Most jurisdictions require that repairs be made within a certain percentage of the written estimate (usually about 10 percent) or the customer must be advised of additional costs before repairs are made. —To make certain that old parts are replaced and not simply cleaned or painted, ask that they be given back to you after replacement. “If you have the time, it’s a good idea to call the local consumer affairs office or Better Business Bureau to learn the complaint history of the mechanic or repair shop,” Mr. Holleran advised.

This will be the .first regularly scheduled appearance , of the bloodmobile in Fauquier County in the Red Cross fiscal year that began July 1. The goal is 90 units. Because of continuing growth in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, the Red Cross has increased both the number of bloodmobile visits and the amount of blood donations needed to fulfill the quota in the current fiscal year. In the year that ended June 30, the Fauquier Chapter (which includes Rappahannock County) had 19 blood drives and collected just shy of 1200 units, or 98 percent of its quota of 1225. In the current fiscal year, the chapter’s quota has been lifted to more than 1500 units and the bloodmobile is scheduled to appear at 25 locations, including The Plains, where it has never been, and Rappahannock County High School. A special blood drive for summer school students, held July 10 at Fauquier High School, yielded a disappointing nine units. It had been scheduled in the hope that it would “help alleviate a critical shortage we’re experiencing this summer,” according to Cindy Hamade, blood services representative from Central Virginia.

Bull Run Country Jamboree set Aug. 2 \ By KRIS TEMPLETON Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer It’s midsummer and we all know what that means! Yup, The Bull Run Country Jamboree!!! Thanks again to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority and WMZQ (98.7 FM and 1390 AM) the area’s #1 country music station, all of us can eryoy that once a year day of great country-style fun and terrific country music by some of the hottest names in the business. This year’s Bull Run Country Jamboree is scheduled for Sunday, August 2, so get those tickets today! Pass the morning away under a shady tree playing checkers or join in the gaiety of competition with the log sawing contest, or the hay baling contest...or just be a spectator. Then get settled on the lawn for some terrific country music for the rest of the day. The fun and games begin at 10 a.m. and showtime begins at 11 a.m. with Chet Taylor and The South Bound Band, a local NftpHiam Viporinia arrnnn Pinkard and Bowden, the country comedy boys, will also be on hand doing their hilarious take-offs on various country songs and singers, including The Judds who just happen to be heading the Jamboree (this should prove interesting). Pinkard and Bowden will be appearing at various times during the day to add a little something different to the Jamboree. Pake McEntire, who is a relative newcomer to our country music scene will be on stage too. Pake’s latest song “Bad Love,” is still ranking right up there on the country music charts; and, what a terrific voice this man has! Sawyer Brown is sure to have all Jamboree-ers in motion when they do their thing on stage. These five young men from New England got their first break on Star Search in 1984 and have been going strong ever since with chart busters like “Step That Step” and “Used To Blue.” Sawyer Brown had acquired the reputation as having a terrific “dance band” beat to all their music —you know, the kind you just can’t sit still for. An inside source tells me that members of the group have been known to don baseball caps and tee^shiirts and meander through crowds before they perform—soo keep your eyes peeled—and get ready to dance! That terrific mother and daughter duo, The Judds, will be headlining the Jamboree. Naomi and Wynona hit the charts big in 1984 and have, to say the very least, been going strong with several country music awards to their name and and 8 #1 hits in 1986! Look very closely at them on stage; bet you can’t tell which is mother aand which is daughter. It should be delightful to hear them add their own special style of music to this Jamboree. Wonderfully, Ronnie McDowell has decided do a return show this year. For those who saw Ronnie at The Bull Run Country Jamboree several years ago, you know why I am excited—this man simply electrifies any crowd of people with his awesome sounds and moves! And of course, we’ll not let him leave the stage without doing hits like “All Tied Up In Love,” “Wandering Eyes,” and “Older Women.” During the day a variety ot foods and soft drinks, as well as official Jamboree souvenirs may be purchased at any of the many concessions stands that will dot the Jamboree grounds. Visitors are invited to bring coolers full of “picnic goodies” and beverages. Festival organizers also announced that no alcoholic beverages will be permitted. The Park will be closed on Jamboree day to all but Jamboree ticket holders, which entities them to use of the 1,000 acre park’s mini-golf, playgrounds, swimming pool and many picnic areas and other facilities. .

It’s thrust was to require the business to be the homeowner’s “principal place of business.’’ That eliminated those who used an area for a second or sideline business. That rule has now been eased. A home office that is used regularly and exclusively as a principal place of ANY business, including a sidelines business, now qualifies for tax deductions. You base the deductible portion of the area used for business by either of two ways: (a) the percentage of your space used as an office, or (b) the percentage of rooms used for business, whichever is the most advantageous for you. You can deduct the following expenses by that percentage: Gas and electric bills; maintennee costs (painting; plumbing, heating system repairs, etc.); and depreciation for that amount of space used.

Images of childhood now at Middle St. v,ews of children intertwine with reflections of a child’s view of 2* in the ^test sh<>w at the Middle Street Gallery Artists Cooperative. With its regular monthly exhibits, the gallery challenges local artists to stretch themselves, and that challenge is met impressively by Pat Mullin. In the unlikely medium of stained glass, she has captured a child s amazement at the world’s newness with “Shannon in Wonder.” And her portrait of a fetus etched in a stained glass prism - a tribute to life, birth and midwife Cher Orenic - is haunting and disturbing. It evokes the range of reactions stirred by the sight of a baby being bom: some who see it are awed by the beauty, others put off by the rawness. Other artists stretch almost as far. Painter Robin Purnell continues to demonstrate a mastery of color and form, this time with an oil portrait of a young woman whose strong face epitomizes the strengths of country life. Lois Manookian explores a new combination, a pencil drawing with a pastel portrait insert to create a dreamscape from childhood. Local folks will recognize familiar faces. In a large oil, Laurie Marshall has perfectly captured the cont.mil pH PVPltpH avruu>tan/<ii year-old Clair Jolly, crouched ready to burst with her friends Jeremy Slack and Ruthie Purnell. The children are posed in front of Kermit Weakley’s classic 1950 Dodge, an interesting juxtaposition of well-preserved age and well-cared-for youth. Ms. Marshall also has a treat for parents and friends who have almost forgotten that Rappahannock’s shining almost-adults were ever any other way. The inaugurator of the public schools’ gifted and talented programs, she photographed some of the best and the brightest in 1981 when they were gawky teenagers just entering adolescence. She has framed the old pictures side-by-side with 1987 editions, giving graphic evidence of the growth, maturity, beauty and stature these young people have attained. Among the images of children are three by a near child, 17-year-old Nathan Homer of Fredericksburg. Rappahannock News photo/Daphne Hutchinson THIS PAINTING BY Laurie Marshall is among the works on exhibit at Middle Street Gallery’s “Images of Youth” show, which continues until the end of July. He has taken that ubiquitous pinto pony all horsed-up in silver and black western tack, the pony that shows up in every family photo album with the birthday child in full cowboy regalia astride, and he has recreated the duo in colored pencils, substituting a static farm field for the traditional subdivision brick rambler. Even more arresting is Mamma on the porch. She’s drawn from the perspective of a child, looking up from the bottom step at this most powerful of figures. Cynthia Mahon’s photograph of children at recess on Harbour Island freezes the universal grins of kids anywhere out of school. Only the vibrant colors are more captivating than the expressions. Phyllis McCreary’s impressionistic vision of mother and daughter at water’s edge has all the softly rounded edges of childhood’s summer. Her expressive use of color, light and texture combine to spark memories of lazy August afternoons when vacation seemed to stretch into eternity and we thought September would never come again. Other works have a touch of whimsey or humor. Elsa Rosenthal brings a smile with her photograph of a child chasing a bubble, unmindful of the draw ers drooping almost to her knees; Dan Lewis wins a knowing nod of “Ah, yes, I had one of those, too,” with his water color of an old tire waiting for a swing; Bob Burgess gets an embarrassed grin of “Oh, did I really look like that?” with his photograph of chubby pre-teen majorettes stuffed like little sausages into twirling outfits. A stuffed teddy bear peeps from Cathrine Riley's graceful honeysuckle wall basket. Maggie Rogers' collection of elves, imps and fauns are not figures of clay but rather fragments from a child's dream, and with Janet Kerig’s Barbar flutes, anyone willing to gently improvise with a little wind and a little dexterity can make beautiful music. In coryunction with the exhibit of youthful images, which will hang through July, the Middle St. Gallery Artists Cooperative is sponsoring a two-morning drawing class for children. In addition, plans are underway for offering art lessons this fall for children in grades kindergarten through third, fourth through seventh and eighth through high school. Call the gallery for additional information o dates, times and fees. Coming in August to Middle St. will be a one-woman show by Phyllis McCreary.

Open Monday - Saturday 10 ’til 9 Phone 703-825-2551 BZA holds B & B to five room limit Rappahannock moved a few steps closer to becoming the bedand-breakfast capital of the Commonwealth as the Board of Zoning Appeals granted a special use permit for another country inn in Huntly. But the BZA members restricted Hugo Perez to using just five of the bedrooms in the 12bedroom house for overnight, accomodations, reading the ordinance differently than did the planning commissioners who had recommended a permit for a sixroom B & B. “If it’s got six rooms, it’s a hotel, regardless if it’s called a tourist home or anything else,” contended Peter Kramer. “Automatically, at six rooms, it becomes a hotel,” he said, citing the ordinance’s definition of hotel and motel: “A building or portion thereof or a group of buildings which provide sleeping accomodations in six or more separate units or rooms for transients on a daily, weekly or similar shortterm basis.. “If it qualifies as a hotel, there’s a problem with putting it in an agricultural district,” said Chairman Lee Bird. “It’s not allowed at all there,” added John McCarthy, zoning administrator and assistant to the Board of Supervisors. In recommending approval for six rooms, the planning commissioners and Mr. McCarthy had relied on the ordinance’s definition for tourist homes, boarding houses and bed-andbreakfasts which limits such operations to “sleeping accomodations for not more than 12 persons who are not members of the family operating the establishment.” They construed accomodations for 12 persons to be six rooms with double occupancy. Looking at the two definitions, Gregory Monahan noted that Mr. Kramer’s interpretation was the “most restrictive reading,” and suggested that this issue “perhaps needs to be clarified.” “The Planning Commission, which recommended and drafted the ordinance, specified a maximum of six rooms and 12 occupants (for Mr. Perez’s B & B),” Chairman Bird pointed out. “The decision is not with the planning board. It’s with this board,” Mr. Kramer contended. “And that’s not what the ordinance says.” Mr. McCarthy noted that the zoning ordinance also provides for adaptive reuse of existing structures in all zoning categories. Mr. Perez’s plans for a bedand-breakfast could fall into this category, eliminating the need for a rezoning should he want to use more than five rooms. “He could get approval for five rooms today (with a special use permit) and then come back for additional bedrooms under the adaptive reuse provision,” Mr. McCarthy said. “I have no problem with that. I have no problem with the concept of six rooms,” Mr. Kramer responded. “I just don’t think the ordinance permits it.” “We don’t have a lot of choice,” agreed Mr. Monahan. “If we read the ordinance a certain way, it must be applied that way.” The BZA has to limit Mr. Perez to five rooms, but possibly the supervisors would want to clarify their intent, Mr. Monahan said. “It’s better for us to be restrictive and let the Board of Supervisors clear it up.” The BZA members voted unanimously to issue the permit for Mr. Perez’s bed-and-breakfast, located on Route 522 between Flint Hill and Huntly, restricting the operation to a maximum of 12 overnight guests in no more than five rooms. They specified, however, that if the supervisors increase the allowable number of rooms to six, that expansion would automatically apply to Mr. Perez’s permit. “We want to stay within the spirit of the law,” said Mr. Perez, an attorney who practices in Washington, D.C. “The last thing we want to operate is a hotel.” “The essence of it is that it’s our home,” added Patricia Ahearn, his partner in the venture, who with her four sons will be managing the establishment. The BZA also directed the pool near the house be fenced before the B & B operates. “It presents a danger to anyone unfamiliar with the property. If it’s open to the public, the pool area must be fenced,” said Mr. Kramer. Noting that the BZA has established a precedent for pool fencing with other B & B applications, Mr. Monahan added that “the fence has nothing to do with operating the pool.” Even if the pool is empty and not available for use by B & B guests, the area must be fenced, he said. In other action last week, the BZA issued a special use permit to Roger and Helen Newcamp for a mobile home on their property in Jackson District while they are building a dwelling with the condition that the trailer be removed after one year. * Virginia fresh tomatoes and corn It’s that time of year again when you can sink your teeth into a fresh ear of com or a vine ripened tomato.

It is a myth that tomatoes should be refrigerated after picking or when brought home from the store. Best results cbme from putting ththta Wtf dn a Shelf tor table ht 68 to 70 degrees F.. One good way to room ripen tomatoes is to use a ri pening bowl or simply place tomatoes in a paper bag that has a few air vents cut in the sides. When serving fully ripened tomatoes, serve with a fresh mint and lemon vinaigrette sauce or stuff tomatoes with fish pate and serve as an hors d’oeuvre. Broil tomatoes filled with bread stuffing topped with Parmesan cheese and serve as a side dish.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, JULY 16,1987 Editorial A questionable plan At a recent meeting held in Fauquier County, Virginia's Secretary of Transportation, Vivian Watts, again maintained her firm commitment to the concept of a “Washington bypass,” terminology which she perfers over “outerbeltway.” We feel that Mrs. Watts and the Department of Transportation owe the residents of the Piedmont a lot of thought and study before any firm plans are laid for what would be, in all probability, a superhighway carving a swath across the Virginia countryside. There is merit in the argument that something must be done to relieve the congestion which has become epidemic on the roads around metropolitan Washington, D. C. But to relieve that congestion at the expense of the rural communities of the Piedmont, most already under intense development pressures, we feel is grossly unfair. The highway would serve as an ashphalt “yellow brick road” for developers eager to lure the growing population of the D. C. urban area into the country, reaping huge profits ior tnemeseives in tne process. One only has to look as far as D. C.’s Virginia suburbs to see the effects of allowing rapid growth without making provisions for the services the growth will require. Only now are local governments realizing that, in many cases, developers have left them to pick up the tab for the necessary improvements to roads and services. Not only would the “Washington Bypass” be an aesthetic blight upon our beautiful countryside, it would likely leave residents and local governments reeling fropi the effects of rapid growth — and the attendant increase in taxes. We urge Mrs. Watts to go slow, study carefully—and ultimately—to reconsider the proposed bypass. In our opinion, it sounds like a raw deal for Rappahannock County, as well as our neighbors in the Piedmont. AIDS: It’s not just in cities *1 uiic wcic tu any trial witn AIDS only the “tip of the iceberg” is visible, it could only be taken as a rough guess. Actually, by most conservative estimates, the invisible proportion is much greater than the ratio of nine to one which is generally applied to icebergs. In the Rappahannock/Rapidan Health District, which includes Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange counties, there have been four reported cases of AIDS and one AIDS-related Complex to date. Although this number is low compared to the incidence of the disease in other areas of the state, there is no denying that the number of cases in the area is expected to increase significantly. With each case of the disease, currently we expect fifty people to be blood-positive for the virus. It is estimated that 250 persons in this Health District are blood positive at present. When someone is bloodpositive, they may or may not develop the disease. However, they are able to infect others with the virus. Recent studies indicate 20-30 percent of persons who are infected with the AIDS virus eventually develop the disease. Virginia State Health Department Epidemiologists report that, as of April 10, 1987, 401 cases of AIDS have been reported in Virginia. On January 15, 1987, the number of cases in Virginia was 348. This reflects a 13 percent increase in the number of cases in Virginia in just three months. Again, we estimate 50 times as many blood-positive persons in the state population as perr sons with the disease. This means that possibly over 20,000 persons in Virginia may have the virus and the ability to transmit it to others. The local Health Departments in all five counties will screen anyone at risk for having the virus at no charge. This is done by a simple blood test. The results are available within approximately two weeks. Counseling is given to anyone tested. All results are confidential and given only to the individual screened. To assure confidentiality, only code numbers are submitted to the laboratory. If you can say “Yes” to any of the following, you are at risk for having the virus and it is recommended that you be screened: • Are you a man who has had sex with another man any time since 1977? • Have you “mainlined” drugs at any time since 1977? • Are you a hemophiliac who have received clotting factor products that were not heat treated? • Did you receive a transfusion of blood any time between 1977 and 1986? • Have you had several sexual partners since 1977, especially someone who may have had many other partners? • Did you come to this country from Haiti or a central African country after 1970? Blood tests may be drawn in the Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic in Culpeper every Tuesday between 1 and 4 p.m. and in Walk-In Clinics in all five counties. Call your local Health Department for times of Walk-In Clinics. Letters to the Editor The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Letters to the editor April fool? To the editor: Lou Hatter, you clown, as Bob Uecker says on the Miller commercial, “I love ya!” Leave it to you to run your April Fools’ edition on July 9 to catch us off guard! Well, Lou, we caught you right off, one sentence into that article on the School Board appointment. It wqp a good,idea for a story — “bitter lame duck chooses ‘Sweet Revenge’' for his swan song” — but you picked the wrong man. It was not a plausible connection. First, Newbill Miller is a bright and decent man. He would never pass over qualified candidates to appoint a novice to the position. Second, being sensitive to the interests and concerns of his constituents, he would not just “wing it” like those despicable good-ole-boy power brokers caricatured by Hollywood. Last, no matter how fine a young man Bryant Lee is— and his character and intentions are not the issue — years of experience gained since he was a neophyte member of the Board of Supervisors have taught Newbill Miller that trying to start a Jaycee chapter does not provide sufficient preparation, background, and understanding of educational principles, practices and values for accepting such a vtud position. So, nice try, Lou, but we got you! Now, tell us—who did Newbil} really appoint to the School Board? JAMES W. THOMASSON Washington P.S. Horrors! It just occurred to me that you might be reporting what you heard ana that Newbill is the one playing April Fool. If this is a joke, it is not funny. If it is not a joke, then he is the one who comes out looking foolish. Trust mother nature ± U UlC CUil/Ul • Witli reference to your July 9 article, one thing gypsy moths do not do is “strip whole forests of trees in a matter of days.” As the article points out, gypsy moths have long been established in the States north - of us. Yet,. I can personally vouch that there were thousands of acres of healthy forest up that way as recently as a month ago. From our house in northern Rappahannock, vast areas on the Blue Ridge could be seen to be defoliated by mid-June. Today they are greening up again. Next year, we may have defoliation in our own woods — ana in a coupie oi years gypsy motns may join storms as a factor in determining which few of our many trees become winter firewood. I fully expect the forest itself to survive. Next spring we may well spray a few prized trees m‘our;y^rd just ta be on the safe side. But I believe Rappahannock taxpayers have more important uses for our strained budget than killing moths. Mother Nature will check the gypsy moth population in Virginia just as she has elsewhere. ROBERT T. DENNIS President Piedmont Environmental Council Robertson confident SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Television evangelist Pat Robertson, who has received $8.2 million in campaign contributions, says he will announce his candidacy in September for the Republican presidential nomination. Mr. Robertson, 66, the founder of the Virginiabased Christian Broadcasting Network, said he is confident that by then he will have received 3 million signatures urging him to seek the presidency. “I surely expect to receive all of those supporters by the end of August and I expect to be a candidate sometime in the middle of September,” Mr. Robertson said at a news conference Thursday. Mr. Robertson met with about 200 pastors from area churches and hosted a reception for some financial backers in San Antonio. He had appearances scheduled in Midland and Fort Worth today. Mr. Robertson also said he supports the nomination of U.S. Appeal Courts Justice Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court. The nomination of Judge Bork, a conservative, already has sparked filibuster talk in the Senate, which is charged with confirming the nomination. Critics charge Judge Bork’s appointment could shift the court’s balance of power to the right and could have an affect on decisions on abortion and civil rights issues. “I am delighted with Bork’s selection,” Mr. Robertson said. “I think it was a magnificent appointment and I believe as soon as he is confirmed, and I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t be confirmed, it would mean the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the pro-life people would be very pleased about that.” Mr. Robertson said the problems of fellow evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker and the couple’s fight with the Rev. Jerry Falwell has not affected his campaign. “Everthing is going very nicely,” he said, adding that his support in Iowa, one of the first caucus states, is good. Bill seeks protection WASHINGTON — Virginia lawmakers have introduced legislation in Congress to name four remote areas of the state totaling 25,000 acres as protected wilderness regions. The sites are in the George Washington and Jefferson national forests. A 2,500-acre parcel in West Virginia known as Mountain Lake would also be protected under the House version of the bill. The bills were introduced Wednesday in the Senate and House after Westvaco, a major paper and pulp company in Covington, Va., lifted objections over how the wilderness designations would affect its plana for growth. Named for protection were the Shawvers Run area in the far southwest comer of the state and the Rich Hole, Rough Mountain and Barbours Creek wilderness areas near the border with West Virginia Designation under the act that has already pro Across Virginia tected some 50,000 acres of Virginia wilderness means no development and no cutting of trees will be allowed in the areas. “We’re preserving these areas for ,this generation and for future generations to epjoy m their pristine shape,” said Sen. John Warner, R-Va. Sen. Warner and Republican Sen. Paul Trible of Virginia stood with Democratic Reps. James Olin of the 6th District and Frederick Boucher of the 9th District in a bipartisan show of support for the bill. Rep. Boucher said the areas are favorites for outdoor enthusiasts and include native trout streams, black bear and wild turkey as well as large stretches of virgin timber. J Teigs system will improve RICHMOND — Secretary of Human Services Eva S. Teig says the state’s child-support system, plagued by faulty computers, slow payments and angry parents, has “turned the comer” and will show dramatic improvements next year. “The light' is at the end of the tunnel and is shining brightly, to be very corny about it,” Ms. Teig said at a Tuesday news conference. She also said she expected many people to be skeptical. Also at the news conference, Ms. Teig released documents that outlined the state’s problems with the computer system that was designed to run the child-support system. Ms. Teig said the computer system could not do the job, and blamed its purchase on Social Services Commissioner William L. Lukhard. Mr. Lukhard announced his early retirement this month. She said that responsibility for the 1985 purchase of the ACSES computer system “can be shared,” but that the fault lies “at the very top — the commissioner’s office. That’s where the buck stops.” Engine malfunctions RICHMOND — A state aircraft carrying state Sen. Daniel W. Bird Jr. and several officials of the Baliles administration made an emergency landing after an angina malfunctioned. The crew and passengers aboard the twin-engine Beech King Air “were in no danger” during the incident Thursday, said John Fuller III, manager of the state Department of Aviation’s operations division. Sunshade law given extension RICHMOND—The Virginia State Police announced recently a 90-day grace period for enforcement of new regulations regarding the placement of sunshading material on the rear side windows, rear window or windows of motor vehicles. Effective July 1 it became illegal to operate a motor vehicle in Virginia with sunshading material affixed to rear side windows, rear window or windows, unless it is of a type approved by the Superintendent of State Police. The law prohibiting the use of nontransparent material upon the front windshield or any other windows remains unchanged. The extension period will give Virginia motorists more time to become familiar with the regulations and give manufacturers of sunshading material more time to provide a label with a means for permanent and legible installation between the sunscreening material and each glazing surface to which it is applied, certifying that the material is in compliance with State standards and specifications. It will also be required that manufacturers place a statement on each container package that the material is permitted for automotive use in Virginia under standards and specifications adopted by the Superintendent of State Police. On the issue of illegal lights, the State Police cautioned that Section 46.1-308 of the Code of Virginia prohibits the placement or use of equipment such as any lighting device, warning device or signal device not approved by the Superintendent. Lights placed around license plates and the bar lights in the rear window are examples of illegal lights which are distracting and hazardous to the operator and other motorists. These lights are usually installed by vehicle owners who may be unaware of the regulation. Motorists in violation of these regulations are subject to being charged with a traffic infraction punishable by a fine of not more than $100.

A Hot weatlier advice: Cool it! —not, numia, heat—no matter how you say it, it’s not too comfortable for either man or animal. And, from what weather forecasters are predicting, the heat will be around for a while. Heat can kill. Heat disorders can reduce or collapse the body’s ability to shed heat by sweating, creating a chemical imbalance. When heat exceeds the level the body can remove, or if the body cannot compensate for fluids and salt lost through perspiration, heat-related illnesses (sunstroke, fatigue, heat stroke, etc.) may develop. Heat disorders tend to increase with age—heat cramps in a 17-year old may be heat exhaustion in someone over 40, and heat stroke in a person over 60. The Virginia Department of Emergency Services advises that you slow down, that is, strenous activities should be reduced or eliminated until it cools down; dress for heat, that is, lightweight and lightcolored clothes helps your body maintain normal temperatures; put less fuel in your fire, that is, certain foods increase metabolic heat production which increases water loss in your system, and drink plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages.

J The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” Phone 825-2361 Culpeper ^CEMETERY MEMORIALS^ For Someone You Care About_ ; i-i Potomac Edison’s Third Party Notification Program It can happen! An unpaid electric bill can result in the disconnection of a customer’s electric service. In any such case. Potomac Edison always sends a “final notice” before terminating service. This gives the customer time to contact us in order to make payment arrangements. However, there are frequently reasons why a customer still may not pay the bill. These could include sickness, absence from home or simply the inability to pay. Because of these and other “special” situations, Potomac Edison offers a “Third Party Notification” program. This service, at no extra cost, enables the customer to designate another person whom we can contact before we must disconnect electric service for nonpayment of a bill. The third party the customer designates may be a friend, relative, doctor, clergyman or even an agency. While the third party is under no obligation to pay the delinquent bill, it does provide an opportunity for some action or assistance to avoid disconnection. Simply Let Potomac Edison Know Who You Want Notified The designation of a third party is voluntary on your part. Only you can determine whether the program would serve a useful purpose in your situation. Should you decide to designate a third party who will receive a duplicate of any possible disconnect notice, please complete the form at the bottom of this ad and mail or bring it back to the Potomac Edison office serving your location. Be sure the form is signed by both the customer and the third party.

Help offered for smokers Face it: cigarette smoking is fast becoming socially unacceptable. Two-thirds of all adults today don’t smoke and increasingly are asserting their rights to breathe clean, smoke-free air at work, restaurants and in the home. So perhaps now— more than ever before—it makes sense to quit and kick the habit for good, suggested a spokesman for the American Lung Association. To help those who are ready to become successful nonsmokers, the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia is conducting a Stop Smoking Clinic from 7 to 9 p.m. on August 11,13,17 and 19 at Hammond Junior High School Auditorium, 4646 Seminary Road in Alexandria. Staffed by a health educator and several ALANV volunteers who are ex-smokers, the Stop Smoking Clinic program uses a positive, behavior change approach that teaches participants how to quit smoking. A fee of $20 is required. To pre-register, call the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia, (703) 591-4131 in Fairfax. Storyteller continues the oral traditions of Appalachia and the South Land By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer In real life, he’s J. M. Cheatwood, title insurance agent with Central Title and Abstract, Inc. in Warrenton and Manassas. But in his heart, he’s Smilin’ John, the story man. Waiting for the children to squirm into their chairs and onto the mats at the Rappahannock County Library last Wednesday, he sipped coffee in the vestibule, looking every inch the rising young corporate executive in conservative gray suit. “What! Should I be wearing bib overalls?” he asked, smiling disarmingly. He didn’t need the overalls. The stiff propriety projected by the starched white shirt and neatly knotted tie fell away as Mr. Cheatwood told his tales. He became, in turn, the clever Brer Rabbit and his nemesis Brer Fox of Southern plantation lore, and that redoubtable giant killer who stuffed himself with fried chicken, beans and side meat, meringue pie and tall glasses of milk at the king’s table in Appalachia’s Jack and the Bean Tree. It was a flash back to the times when children where mesmerized by the rise and fall of voices, not hypnotized by the flicker of the television screen. And the parents, too, were caught up by the magic of telling. In 1974, as a student at Fauquier High School, John Cheatwood won the state’s prose reading championship in forensics competition. “I read Uncle Remus—that wonderful, marvelous story—in dialect. Then it took me five more years to realize I could have TOLD the stoxy instead of reading it,” he recalled. “That was the beginning. Since then, I’ve told folk tales in Rappahannock Newt photo/Daphne Hutchinaon STORYTELLER JOHN CHEATWOOD holds his audience enthralled with his traditional folktales. schools and libraries through out the state.” He’s seen the popularity of traditional story telling “come and go and come again.” Story tellers are even in demand with grown-ups as attention is refocused on the arts and crafts of yesteryear, and so Mr. Cheatwood occasionally tells his sto ries to the Lions’ Clubs, the Moose Lodges, the Ruritans and the Garden Clubs. But it’s the children who are his target audience, children who might otherwise miss this intregal part of the American heritage. “I just keep giving it and giving it away,” Mr. Cheatwood said. “My reward is the growth I gain from telling the stories to children and the pleasure they get from hearing them.” (The Rappahannock County Library will continue presenting story tellers like John Cheatwood during its summer reading program, presented Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m. through August 12.)

When is an adjustable-rate mortgage a fixed-rate mortgage? When it’s a \ Flexible Mortgage Plan at VSB! i No one knows what interest rates are going to do in the next few years.

Lemon uses often overlooked By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics The lemon is probably the most versatile of all the fruits on earth. It is found on grocery lists as frequently as parsley and onions. Despite all of this, we take this versatile fruit for granted. Most people enjoy the fragrance of lemons and lemon scents. Today lemon scents are very much in vogue for use in furniture polish, dish detergents, room deodorizers and even cosmetics. Have you ever loosened a rust stain with lemon juice? If so, you know that lemons serve a multitude of purposes. Ancient Greeks capitalized on the versatility of the lemon. The leaves were used to keep moths away from woolens and also chewed for sweeter breath. For centuries the ladies have enjoyed using cut lemon as a skin bracer and lemon juice as a hair rinse. Scientists tell us that lemons can restore the skin’s “acid mantle,” a balance often disrupted by some detergents. The lemon can also be uniquely refreshing. The Mongolians of the 13th century discovered this when they invented lemonade. In 1747 the British physician, James Lind, proved that lemons could cure scurvy. It was not until the 20th century that scientists realized it was the vitamin C in lemons that cured the scurvy disease. or 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This little fruit contains only 20 calories and so little sodium that it is a staple for most special diets. Both the juice and the peel of the lemon are popular in cooking. Juice uses range from cautious (a few drops in bechamel sauce, commonly u called white sauce) to generous (a,rj half cupful in pie fillings). As a general rule, lemons at room temperature yield more juice than those taken straight from the refrigerator. A lemon is somewhat easier to squeeze if you roll firmly between the palm of your hands or on a flat surface, under the palm of your hand, before cutting it. Fresh lemon experts suggest that the flavor of lemon juice, which is altered by cooking, will remain purer if added near the end of the cooking period. Homemade salad dressings will take on a definite sparkle when lemon juice is substituted for half or even all of the required vinegar. For a really low calorie dressing, use lemon juice alone or in combination with equal parts of tomato juice. Lemon peel is added to such foods as pies, puddings, cakes and even meatballs. But you won’t get the best flavor if you include too much of what the French call the “ziste,” or white pith beneath the peel.' When recipes call for additional lemon to be added at the table, be considerate about how the fruit is cut. Wedges are the only shape for squeezing juice onto seafood and meat and into iced tea. A little lemon juice added to hot water or to iced water in a snappy cooler has a cleansing effect on the body. It tends to rid the body of impurities. Any table will look elegant when a thin lemon slice is floated in a water goblet. Lemonade is always refreshing, particularly on a hot summer day, but if you prefer soft drinks, freshen them up with a squirt of fresh lemon juice.

Portman speaks at Artists9 Forum By TUTT STAPP-HARRIS Ntwi Contributing Writer “The last thing the audience should be focused on is the storyteller. The story is here” ■ Watching Julie Portman insistently point to the space at the center of the room lined with workshop participants, it seemed easy to believe that there was in fact a living, breathing story in the room with her. During the course of the Artists’ Forum’s fourth J987 workshop, thie director and actress, winner of the Obie Award and now a resident of Rappahannock, shared both techniques and insights on the transformation of folktales into theatre, and on making the invisible, visible. “Imagine that you have something in your hand, and that something is your ‘HA.’ You’re going to take your ‘HA’ and throw it across - the room.” Winding up like a pitcher and demonstrating how to send both the imaginary “HA” and a strong vocal “HA!” exactly where she wanted them to go, Ms. Portman soon had the members of the assembled group — which included dancers, actors, writers, teachers, homemakers, high school students and a blacksmith — comfortably throwing their own “HA’s” back and forth. Later, though, this seemingly simple exercise in voice projection became another illustration of the important distinction between the storyteller and his story: the tale is what we throw out for the audience to catch, not ourselves as performers. It is therefore not by “acting” aoH anmnr nw fmrvkfnnn/I 4-1*.« teller depicts a sad, angry or frightened character — it is simply by trusting the material and the truth it acquires in being told. One classic form of storytelling involves not only a speaker but a mover, an actor who provides the movements to illustrate the teller’s yam. Working in pairs, the workshop members tried through movement' alone to depict subtle ideas ranging from “Look at those little tiny things crawling all over the floor” to “The little boy was looking for his voice in a drop of water.” As the partners switched roles from speaker to mover, it became dear thafe the story rested not with either actor individually, but in the space between them. With the encouragement and guidance of a musician from Ms. Poitman’s theatre company, the Golden Key Performance Group, and with the assistance of Trapezoid's Paul Reisler, the workshop partidpants had the chance to ex; periment> freely with a variety of tra"ditional instruments .— harp, dulcimer, pipes, drums, bells, maracas — to see the effects that can be created in accompanying a storyteller and actor as they weave their tale. Huge swaths of brightly colored silk were also provided, to be put to whatever creative uses the members found. When the day’s ex, plorations culminated in the participants’ choosing partners and creating their own depictions of tales, the fabrics worked themselves into the afternoon’s stories as gowns, a stone wall, Rapunzel’s hair, a layer of crackling ice, a donkey’s skin and the bedsheets of a dying woman. As the storytelling tradition has its roots in the travelling bard who went from village to village sharing his tales, Ms. Portman and the members of the Golden Key, who tour with multi-media performances of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, are committed to working with as few sets and props as possible. The portability and versatility of fabric have made it an integral part of the company’s staging. “Fabric allows us to breath,” she says, speaking of its effect on both actors and audience, “and reminds us to let things happen.” In a recent production of “The Fisherman and His Wife,” a parachute functioned dramatically as the billowing, violent sea, but was equally convincing at other times as a bed, various cloaks, a scrubbing rag for the floor, and even, draped across the actress’s back, as the front step of the house. Ms. Portman has arrived at the specialized work of the Golden Key by way of a lifelong and circuitous path through the arts, a path that led her first away from contemporary American theatre and into her own experimental work, and then to India, in search of something closer to the origin and essence of theatre. “I couldn’t see where the discipline was in the acting and directing I saw in graduate school,” she says. “I became determined that after graduation, I would have my own theatre.” Having grown up in a family of musicians and being involved then in studying traditional Asian theatre, she was disturbed by the one-dimensional quality of American drama. In the ancient No and Kabuki theatre forms of Japan and in traditional Chinese theatre, she saw what she thought was essential — dancers, musicians and actors working together. By the age of 25, she had formed her own Equity house in Boston, but it took only a year for her to see that a standard Equity theatre was not what she wanted. A splinter of the original group formed a new company the following year, and things began to happen. “We were very experimental,” Ms. Portman said with a smile, “but still Western.” Out of a workshop that was given, the group created a piece based on the intense racial tensions of the time. Entitled “Riots,” it began to approach Ms. Portman’s goal of interdisciplinary theatre, featuring acting, movement and live music. The play was an instant success, and the resounding reaction confirmed her belief that die was on to something important. The company continued to eiyoy success, but after a time, she again began to feel that this was not the right way for her to find what she sought. “I needed to get to the source,” she says. “And so I walked out — literally, in mid-rehearsal. I said, 'Any of you who wants this company may have it — Pm going to walk on the beach’.” And she did — walked on the beach, thought about her goals, applied for a Fulbright Grant, received it, and went to India, responding to an increasing need “to explore myth — myth in a contemporary sense, my own myth, and what myth means to contemporary man.” In India, she says, she found “the real stuff”: ancient folk drama that is still alive and relevant, village storytellers everywhere, people performing in the streets or from door to door, sharing stories that are active forces in people’s lives. Linking herself to a master of the classical Indian theatre form Kathakali — “the play of the story” — she studied with him one-on-one from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. for two years, living the simple village life of rural India an&b&rbing all she could of the role of B0ry, myth and theatre in everyday life. This period of time continues to exert powerful influence on her performing and teaching.

SWAN’S jALE^ANQ SERVICE LA, Swan, Jr. & Co. Incj| For the next 14 years after her return from India, the focus of Bis. Portman’s work was bridging the gap between Eastern and Western theatre and fostering understanding in the U.S. of the power possible in traditional and integrated theatre. Finally, though, she felt it was time to let go, to move away from her East/West experience in order to look more clearly at what she had learned and at how she could further use it. Her formation of the Golden Key Performance Group two years ago has provided a place for this learning to bear fruit, although Bis. Portman says that the members of the company are largely unaware of her studies in India and the work that followed. True to her original goals, she has assembled a diverse group of actors, dancers and musicians. Their shared belief is that, as a group, they are more than any one individual could be. They seek to create something new together that no one orientation alone — whether a dancer’s or an actor’s or a musician’s — could have come up with, while still “honoring the expertise of each person.” “The process is very time-consuming, and very hard,” she stated frankly. “Each person must sacrifice something of his own particular way of seeing” in order for the process to happen, but the result is organic, rich and rewarding for both actors and audience. They have chosen the traditional versions of Grimm’s Fairy Tales because of their timeless quality and universal themes. “Stories are great repositories of wisdom. We bring to the stories of wisdom of our own time, but no ‘modernizing’ is necessary. All we have to do is just be true to our own time, and the meaning will be there.” An important priority is remaining accessible to diverse age and diverse cultural backgrounds. In India, the idea of entire families going to the theatre together is an important one — three or eyen four generations will be sitting together at a performance, along with a mixture of working people and the elite. In the U.S., with the exception of county fairs and large commercial amusement parks, there are few opportunities for families to participate in this type of shared activity. It is this idea of family and community sharing that makes Ms. Portman want to shift the base of the company from D.C. to Rappahannock. “Home, family and rhythm of the seasons—I feel that our work needs to be fed at its core in an environment that holds these things as natural,” she says. “Sharing is inherrently important in the development of people. There is growth in the sharing of stories—we would like to work where our skills can be of assistance.” Further, the presence of the artist as a member of the community “demystifies the artist,” and again enhances the integration of art into life. “In Asia,” she says, “in the villages, the actor walking down the street is no more strange than the goldsmith. In Rappahannock, there are so many people, non-artists included, who are living creatively that the gap is not so great. People are not so terrified of doing things differently.” I Building?

She was presented a $25 award by Fun Fair co-chairman Linda Mallory. Vacation packages need scrutiny Virginia Attorney General Mary Sue Terry recently urged consumers to use caution before deciding to purchase a “package-plan” type vacation. “Wanderlust affects most of us at this time of the year,” Mrs. Terry said. “The days are long and pleasant, the children are out of school, and we long for new sights and sounds. “Not by coincidence, we are bombarded by advertisements for vacation transportation and lodging at this time of the year. Airlines and cruise companies, resorts, hotels, even entire cities, states and countries are competing for our travel dollars. “Most are completely legitimate. But it is important to apply the same common-sense approach to vacation purchases that we do when making other large outlays of money. “You should be particularly cau tious about the package deals being offered by travel agencies. Many offer substantial savings, but it is important to remember that there are restrictions which apply in many cases,” Mrs. Terry added. The Attorney General offered the following list of the most common complaints lodged by dissatisfied consumers about vacation packages: • Flights on the day the purchaser wishes to travel are cancelled. Some agencies have attempted to reschedule trips at the last moment, after the purchaser has already made vacation plans. • Rooms turn out to be small and uncomfortable, and miles away from popular attractions and facilities. Worse still, in some cases the hotels have been overbooked and there have been no rooms available at all. • Travelers have had to pay ex horbitant lodging fees in order to secure a cheap airline fare. • Agencies have closed their doors and gone out of business before the trip, and contract, are fulfilled, leaving the would-be vacationers high and dry. Whenever possible, Mrs. Terry suggested, it is best to do business with an established, local agency with a proven track record. It is important, as well, to look beyond the beautiful brochures and ask for specifics about hotel accomodations, travel dates, ground transportation and any hidden costs or premium payments. The most important rule of thumb, she concluded, as with any consumer purchase, is that if a deal appears too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, and don’t settle for evasive or unclear answers. Grape-stock certification The registration and certification of grape nursery stock has begu n in ityof virus-free grape stock. "The rapidly expanding wine industry in the state has a growing need for quality disease-free wine grape nursery stock,” said Commission S. Mason Carbaugh of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “We feel that this program will be one of the best in the country to aid our producers.” The program is being administered by the Bureau of Plant Protection and Pesticide Regulation. Currently, there are no chemical controls for stopping the devastating disease of grapestock, and certified ■UtBASftNMNttf ** fort of control was reconftftfended by the Viticultural Technical Advisory Committee to the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services and following a public hearing rules and regulations for the program were es- tablished. The Committee noted at the time that Virginia growers imported an estimated 250,000 grape vines a year and there was a great danger from virus diseases. The Board approval pointed out that this plan would provide the grape and wine industry in the state with \ sources of healthy grape nursery stock. It will also assist state growgima-grown vitufera Stock for Vineyard establishment. Certified stock is tagged based on visual inspection of the vines and documentation of the foundation stock source. Requirements are also established for the planting location and maintenance. The certified stock must be sold within two years of certification. If it is introduced from another state or country it must be sold within one year. Participation in the program is voluntary. ‘uEcaacj El Dodge Truck RAM 50 AND DWER RAM 50 •P*- PICKUPS 1987 DODGE D-50 / Retail Less iwiypr^7 Discount $ 9807. $2207. SALE PRICE $7600.

Budget (Continued from Page 1) recommendation, that $15,000 should be set aside for town operations, up about 12 percent from last year’s figure of $13,310. The increase, Mr. Fisher said, reflects increased costs for legal advertisements, as well as a larger volume of advertisement, attorney’s fees and salaries. Of the $29,000 balance on the revenue side, William Wickens suggested that the town should contribute $4,000 to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department for fire protection, and reserve $2,000 as a contingency fund to meet unforeseen expenses. The remaining $23,000 he suggested be appropriated for capital improvements to the water system. “If we get more money, or if a loan is approved, we can come back and revise the budget,” he added. “I feel very strongly,” Mr. Fisher agreed, “that of the money coming to the town now, part must be used for fire protection.” “This year is going to be tough,” Mayor Morehouse said. ”... From that $23,000, we’ve got to pay the engineer . . . the up front, start-up costs in addition to the improvements on the water system.” Mr. Wickens concurred, adding that he would prefer deferring other projects for a year, “until we get going.” “Everybody has set priorities,” the mayor replied, “but we’re looking at bare essentials this year.” Projects such as the renovation of the Town Hall will have to wait, he said. Jim Thomasson said from the audience that “I would argue the virtue of doing the Town Hall as a private project. It could be the sort of project where people, even those divided, could come and work to put something together.” Council member Evelyn Willis said she was bothered by the lack of information about payment schedules for a loan to refurbish the water system. "We can’t know that until we get the loan figures,” Mr. Morehouse replied, “but we don’t need them to set a budget.” “Is it adequate?” asked Council member Nan Thomasson. “Absolutely,” the mayor affirmed. “We can service a lot of debt with $23,000 per year. I’m not for spending money wildly, but we want to pay off the debt as soon as possible .. . the financing will be amortized by the $23,000 (income) after next year ... I hope, that after all the needs are taken care of, that we can reduce the budget again.” “The funding (for the waterworks project) is going to be unmerciful,” he said, adding that the budget proposed is merely “a set of guidelines.” Council agreed that a portion of the $2,000 contingency fUnd should be used to erect new street signs to replace those lost or damaged. Mayor Morehouse emphasized that the bulk of the $2,000 contingency Walls (Continued from Page 1) to find "the least disruptive alternative.” Never did she concede the possibility that a study might find the superhighway unnecessary. MI’m a messenger carrrying the tidings you don’t want to hear... the reality of what’s out there,” Mrs. Watts told the audience which included supervisors, supervisor candidates and other local officials from Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties. Virginia ranks fifth among the states in growth rate and 13th in total population, she said. “Yes, a lot of this is happening in the Washington metropolitan area.” Once a “full dialogue” has identified and resolved the route of the superhighway, then “the dialogue must go on” over access, the transportation secretary continued, noting that these access ramps may have a greater impact on the areas through which the highway passes than the highway itself will have. Mrs. Watts said that she’s seen the bumper stickers urging: “Don’t Fairfax Loudoun.” “There’s going to be another whole generation of those for each of the counties going out... We have a great need not to Fairfax Loudoun or Fauquier,” Virginia’s transportation secretary acknowledged. But to prevent that, growth must be managed and controlled, she said. “At this point in time, there’s not a way to stop growth.” Attempts have been made to borrow innovative land use strategies from New York, California and other states, but when they’ve been tried in Virginia, they haven’t been upheld by the courts, Mrs. Watts said. “The courts won’t look at the adequacy of transportation and other services, only at the highest and best use (of the land).” Maryland may be able to enact a selective sewer moratorium and have it upheld by its courts, “but that has not been the climate in which we operate,” she added. Replying to the charge that’s she’s already made up her mind and decided a by-pass is needed, Watts conceded, “Yes, I do have an assumption that those numbers (from the state’s $1.2 million study) will show ... we need to have a bypass.” She repeated that the state is looking at a “by-pass or by-passes” to pick up traffic from interstates 81 and 95, routes 270 and 70s. “Do we need two? In what time frame do we need two? ... Anywhere we put it (a by-pass), there are going to be problems. We need to look at where the fewest problems will be,” she said, defending the exDenditure of $1.2 million for the highway study. “Without a full study of the traffic patterns around Washington, D.C., any attempt to decide on an alternative (route) is doomed to failure.” Replying to Sirs. Watts’ assertion that the courts have blocked attempts by local government to control growth, Georgia Herbert maintained that part of the problem lies with the legislature. “The Supreme Court is often only interpreting a legislative position,” said the former Piedmont Environmental Council attorney who is now running for Fauquier’s Board of Supervisors. “You and the governor could make a difference in how local government is empowered to control, direct and steer growth,” she told Mrs. Watts. With funding taken care of last year in the first phase of the governor’s highway program, that empowerment is to be addressed in this year’s second phase, Mrs. Herbert noted. “I’d like to know what the plan is.” Mrs. Watts said that the funding reflects the number one priority given transportation by people throughout the state. History shows that every four years, whether in a Democratic or Republican administration, the new governor comes in “raising the gas tax, raising a source of revenue to put more money into roads,” she reported. This standard procedure, the same followed by Gov. Gerald Baliles, is a response to public pressure, Secretary Watts contended. But that public pressure isn’t there for phase two, which she described as consensus building. As to specifics of any plan, Watts only cited pressure from local governments to have the state highway planners identify “center lines” of new or improved roads and to give localities more involvement in preliminary engineering. Mrs. Herbert recalled that last year, Gov. Baliles said he would work to overturn the Hilton decision which precludes local government from requiring developers to make off-site road improvements. “That’s certainly on the agenda,” Mrs. Watts confirmed. The former PEC attorney added that support was also supposed to be forthcoming for legislation to give local government the authority to turn down development proposals if roads serving the development were deemed inadequate. ‘That’s the next legal tool put on the list of local interests,” Mrs. Watts said. In response to another question, Mrs. Watts called the fedend Highway Administration’s review of Virginia’s Western By-Pass proposal a “quick and dirty” study done in a couple of months with old data. (The FHA study used data supplied by the Virginia Department of Transportation. It concluded that a western by-pass without a Potomac River crossing would divert only three to seven percent of the traffic from the Capital Beltway and called the proposed superhighway a developer’s highway.) Watts said that any solution to Northern Virginia’s traffic crisis will have to include mass transit and HOV (high occupancy vehicle) extensions as well as a new transportation corridor. Asked why only 2,000 parking places are provided at the Vienna Metro stop, the most outlying in Virginia, when over 100,000 cars a day use 1-66 to Washington, Mrs. Watts said that if she controlled “piles of money” and was “empress,” she’d focus on building structured parking at the metro stops. She noted that Virginia is spending $55 million a year for mass transit just for Northern Virginia. That compares to $100 million - $65 million from the state and $35 million from the federal government - for Northern Virginia’s highways. “It’s a much stronger commitment to mass transit than most people realize,” Mrs. Watts said, concluding, ‘We can’t begin to address the problems just by laying down asphalt.” CRP signup The fifth signup period for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is July 20 through July 31. Farmers must have a 5-year crop history (1981-1985) on the field or fields for which bids will be submitted. All bids must be submitted to the Rappahannock County ASCS office by 4:30 p.m., July 31. 4 fund would be held in reserve, and its disposition would be decided by council at a later date. The proposed guidelines, of 80 percent used for capita} expenditure and 20 percent for other uses, were passed unanimously. Mr. Fisher will present a formal budget proposal for passage by council at its August meeting. Gypsy moth resolution passed "The moths are here,” said Mayor Morehouse. The leaves “are growing back now, but they defoliated hundreds and hundreds of acres. Leaves are one of the county’s largest draws - the tourists are not going to come if the county looks like parts of Vermont. They are stonedead.” “It would ruin this town,” Mr. Wickens agreed. “I’ve driven through parts of Pennsylvania where it looks like winter in June,” added Mr. Fisher. “The town should consent to spraying,” Mr. Wickens suggested, referring to a letter received from Diane Bruce informing council of discussions of county participation in an “environmentally safe” spray program next vear. (A cost-sharing spray program is available to interested localities. The costs are split three ways with federal, state and local governments. Applications for next year's program, which must include an eggmass count of the affected area, must be filed by November 1.) After rough calculations arrived at an approximate cost of $500, there was some question as to whether town funds should be appropriated for the project. “If the Washington Business Council will come up with $250,” Mr. Wickens said, “I will come up with the other half.” Questions were raised about whether the spraying should be done with Bacillus thwringienis (Bt), a biological control with an effectiveness of approximately 70 percent, or with Dimilin, a chemical growth regulator which interferes with the development of the caterpillar’s exo-skeleton. Dimilin will achieve a 90 to 95 percent mortality rate. The consensus of council was that the spraying should be done with the most effective control. The question of permission of property-owners to spray was referred to John McCarthy, who is serving as the chairman of the county’s gypsy moth committee and de facto gypsy moth coordinator at this point. Mrs. Willis objected to the council approving the town’s participation in the spraying while questions remain about its effectiveness and safety. “I don’t know enough about it,” she said. Over Mrs. Willis’ objection, council approved a resolution consenting to the town’s participation in the spraying program, and authorizing the expenditure of town funds for it, as long as the spraying is done with the most effective chemical. The vote was 5-1, with Mrs. Willis opposed. -Spenyville Realty— SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088 - Office Commercial Village Zoning applies to this two story frame home in Sperryville.

Mayor Morehouse suggested that council members come to the August meeting with nominations for a replacement for Mrs. Clater. “Let’s give it another month,” Mrs. Willis suggested. “Let’s talk to people — warn them...” “Warn them is the right word,” Mr. Wickens agreed. • Passed to the Planning Commission for review proposed changes in the zoning ordinance and historic district ordinance. Zoning Administrator John McCarthy has suggested dropping the requirement of a special use permit for signs on permitted businesses. The Architectural Review Board will continue to have jurisdiction over the appronriateness of siems. and Mr. McCar thy and Mr. Reynolds recommended that the special use permit process was unnecessarily time-consuming, cumbersome and expensive. • Replied to a request from Mr. McCarthy that the ownership of the sidewalks in front of the Courthouse be clarified, since the county intends to make improvements to the Courthouse complex and complaints about the time-worn, cobblestone walks have been received, he said. Mayor Morehouse, with accord of council, directed that Mr. McCarthy be notified that the town owns the sidewalks and that any improvements must come before council for approval. • Referred to Mr. Reynolds a letter from Sid Barry requesting a survey and clarification of the town’s easement for its water line which runs through his property. • Directed Mr. Reynolds to draft a letter to Potomac Edison informing them of a number of allegedly dangerous situations of powerlines and poles. “Those people have done everything they can to provoke this town,” said Mr. Wickens. “They have been as arrogant about this town as they can be — it’s time to let them know we are serious. Tell them they may find themselves subject to a utility ordinance which they may find unpleasant.” • Took under consideration a request by ARB member Evelyn Willis for money to pay for a booklet explaining the Architectural Review Board, the Historic District Ordinance, and the procedure for approval of certificates of appropriateness.

As an example of this joint commitment, he cited Indiana, where a conservative governor pledged that the state would put up $5 million for open space preservation if the Nature Conservancy and other organizations would match the amount. “The private sector ought to be in there pitching,” said Mr. Lowe, adding that half has already been raised. Closer to home, he pointed to Northern Virginia’s Mason Neck Park, established 13 years ago through a partnership between the Commonwealth, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority and the Nature Conservancy. “That’s an example of what can be done when the Commonwealth is in there participating . . . But we haven’t done anything like that in Virginia in 13 years.” Mr. Lowe said. “It’s been a long time since the Commonwealth has made the funding available to protect its natural heritage.” A statewide transfer tax would provide the means of achieving this protection, he said, telling the legislators of Maryland’s Program Open Space. In effect for the past 17 years, that program’s real estate transfer tax of one-half of one percent generates between $50 and $60 million annually for the protection of park land and open space. The goal is to provide permanent protection to 10 percent of the state’s acreage and already 90,000 acres have been purchased for state parks, forests and wildlife areas and 23,000 acres for county parks, according to Mr. Lowe. Looking further south, Mr. Lowe reported that Florida’s real estate transfer tax generates $60 million annually for open space preservation while South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas all recently upped their transfer taxes and dedicated the increases to acquisition of park land and protection of historic areas. A real estate transfer tax is “the ideal solution,” Mr. Lowe continued. “It works” in southern states akin to Virginia, he said. “It’s a logical tax - almost a user tax - and farmers, first-time home owners and other hard-hit economic groups can be exempted.” A The committee, which is to report back to the General Assembly on current and long range state and local outdoor recreation needs and “stable, long term funding sources,? will hold its Tidewater regional meeting in July. The questions and directives of the legislators gives aQ indication of where the Outdoor Rec* reation Assessment Joint Commit^ tee may be heading with its recommendations. • “I’d like to know how much is enough,” said Del. Allison Smithy asking for an estimate on the number of acres of open space thaf groups like the Nature Conservancy want to see protected. “What i$ enough for Virginia? How many more thousands of acres should we have for this?” Killdeer (Continued from Page 1) are laid and the incubation period depend upon local weather, temperature and the region of the country, The average incubation period is two weeks. Both male and female share in the care of the eggs during their incubation. The male will assist in watching over the eggs when the female leaves the nest to feed. When the nest is threatened by intruders, whether animal or human, the birds will attempt to hire them away from the nest. Often, the bird feigns a broken wing, scurrying along the ground with one wing held at a unnatural angle, fluttering and screeching with sounds resembling cries of pain and alarm. If that tactic fails to draw the intruder’s attention from the nest, the bird’s mate sometimes “dive-bombs” the predator, zooming out of the sky to pass within inches of its head and eyes. Though these tactics are often successful in protecting the nest, it is not always the case, as evidenced by Mrs. Willis’ experience. Eileen M. Day, REALTORS Clapton House, Box 120 m <mt Washington.
