Volunteers for the now-annUal Fantastic International Buffet and salute from Rappahannock shared a bit of that dream week last Tuesday. Those who have never been to Camp Fantastic may imagine it a depressing place, a place where sick children mope around, whining and demanding attention and assistance. It is not that at all. Certainly, there are the visible signs of radiation treatment and chemotherapy on some of the children. Others show the scars of battle with this disease in missing limbs. And others look just like the gangs of 4-H campers who crowd into Blair Shelter the rest of the summer. But there is a difference. Since I first met these fantastic children four years ago, I’ve struggled to explain that difference to those who haven’t. The words are hard to come by. There’s electricity in the air around them, an enthusiasm and hunger for life and new experiences inherent in all happy children, only so much stronger here. Their bodies may be sick; their souls are shiningly, glowingly healthy. Their spell is immediate. “This is awfully fancy food for a bunch of kids!” said one of the first-tune volunteers during the rush to start the grill for the shish kabobs, set up tables for the seven international entrees and slice peaches and strawberries for the make-them-yourself shortcakes. Two hours later, after the campers had emptied the platters of Mexican burritos, Italian pizza, Middle Eastern beef kabobs and Oriental chicken, cleaned the pot of American pork barbecue, dented the pile of roasted com-on-the-cob and the bowls of rice salad and cole slaw and wiped out the whipped cream topped shortcakes, Greek baklava, coconut cake, banana split cake, ambrosia and baked bananas Hawaiian, the same SERVING A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS line of hungry campers are, Cindy Mahan, Heidi Morf and Carolyn Pullen. Rappahannock News staff photo from left, Kaye Jumak, volunteer paused for one deep breath, dashed off to help clean up, then rushed back to make sure her name was on the list of helpers for next year’s Fantastic International Buffet. “I want to do more! I don’t know how to make burritos but I can certainly learn,” she insisted, directing that she be called to assist with the cooking of all that “fancy food.” Everyone always wants to come back. Special Love is an appropriate name for the Winchester-based group (See CAMP, page 15) Council will consider Imdbet, historic ordinance Washington’s Town Council has a full agenda for its meeting Sept. 9, with passage of the proposed $72,660 budget and a public hearing to consider amendments to ~"theTQstorrci!rot«ct ordinancesAlthough th e budget was discussed at councfi’s August meeting, the absence of Treasurer Brad Fisher left the five members present with some unanswered questions about the figures included in several categories. Those will likely be raised at this month’s meeting. By law, seven days must pass between the public hearing and passage of the budget. In fulfilling that requirement, council decided that rather than schedule a special meeting, a vote on passage would be postponed until the regular September meeting. ^ • Vf'vf • / After revisions by town attorney Frank Reynolds and Zoning Administrator John McCarthy, a joint public hearing wa&held at the August meeting by council ntatfrtwtr tu w ir s* "pfainiwi 'iHWffHBWW IT consider a number of amendments to the town’s historic district ordinance. Although the original ordinance, passed in 1985, has been used by the Architectural Review Board as its guide in overseeing changes to town homes and businesses, questions have been raised about some of its provisions. In an effort to clarify vague points and provide guidance in several areas which were lacking, Mr. Reynolds and Mr. McCarthy revised the ordinance, changing some language and adding new sections on enforcement and requirements to be met be fore buildings may be razed. Mr. McCarthy also noted that several changes in language were necessary so that the ordinance conforms to federal rerequirements must be met if the town should ever apply for assistance from the federal government in connection with the historic district. A major addition to the ordinance is the exception of certain minor alterations and repairs from the general requirement that any physical construction which may be seen from a public street must be approved by the ARB. Those exemptions include: • Repainting in the same color (except original painting of masonry). • Replacement of window panes, roofing material, and, “except on landmark structures,” doors, window frames or no substantial change in • Adding or removing window gardens or boxes and portable window air conditioners. • Landscaping, temporary fencing (up to 60 days) or ponds. • Location of satellite television antennas, “provided that the same is screened, to the extent practicable, from public view.” • Signs which are exempted from the zoning ordinance. (See TOWN, page 16) Fauquier suit could affect Rappahanock zoning By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer A suit filed last month in Fauquier County Circuit Court will have important ramifications for Rappahannock County’s zoning ordinance. Jerry C. Faircloth of Stafford was denied permission to put a double-wide mobile home on a nine-acre parcel of land he owns near Bristersburg in southern Fauquier County. Fauquier, like Rappahannock, restricts mobile homes used as permanent residences to one site. In Fauquier, it is the 319-unit Marsh Run Mobile Home Park on Rt. 17 near Bealeton. Rappahannock’s one mobile home park is on Rt. 211 in Amissville. After Fauquier Zoning Administrator Carolyn Bowen denied Mr. Faircloth’s application, he responded with a suit against the county’s Board of Supervisors. It alleges that the ordinance, established in 1959, unfairly discriminates against the placement of mobile homes on private property. Mr. Faircloth is vice-president of Winslow Inc., a Stafford-based company which owns and manages mobile home parks in Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. He and his supporters, principally the Virginia Manufactured Housing Association, argue that mobile homes should be treated the same as any site-built or modular housing. They are interested in using the Fauquier ordinance as a test case which could invalidate similar ordinances in about 25 counties across the state, including one in Rappahannock County. Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance defines a mobile home as a dwelling designed to be transported after its fabrication on its own wheels or on a trailer or other wheels to the site as a complete dwelling, and designed to be removed and erected on other sites at a later time. Under the county’s ordinance, modular homes are differentiated from mobile homes, and are permitted as permanent dwellings. “The distinction is a fine one,” Zoning Administration John McCarthy admitted, but he explained that the difference lies in the permanent nature of a modular structure. Although a modular is designed to be transported as a unit to the building site, once it arrives it becomes a permanent fixture. It cannot be moved again, Mr. McCarthy said, noting that the language of the ordinance, “incorporated . . . into a modular structure that will be a finished building in a fixed location on a permanent foundation,” makes that clear. House trailers are permitted in Rappahannock, Mr. McCarthy noted, as a temporary residence if they are occupied by the owner during construction or reconstruction of a permanent dwelling. That use requires a special exception permit from the Board of Supervisors. It is valid for up to one year, and may be extended by Mr. McCarthy for an additional six months, if the applicant can show that the extension is warranted because of “extenuating circumstances (which) are not controllable by the permittee,” according to the ordinance. Mr. Faircloth’s lawyer, John F. Rick, who serves as legal counsel for the VAMHA, said recently that he thinks his client’s chances of overturning the Fauquier ordinance are “very good.” Mr. Rick, who is also the Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney, admitted that the mobile home builders’ association has been looking for a test case which would change what the industry believes are overly restrictive laws governing the placement of i (See TRAILERS, page 16) Planners considering tougher standards In the ongoing review and revision of the county’s subdivision ordinance at last Wednesday’s work session, the Rappahannock Planning Commission^looked at tougher standards aimed at protecting groundwater and controlling residential development. Newbill Miller, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the commission, proposed that all new subdivided lots r 10 acres or smaller be required to nave a reserve drainfield. The backup site for waste water disposal would have to be shown on a plat before the subdivision could be approved, he suggested, adding that building on the reserve site would be prohibited. In addition, Mr. Miller proposed that the same setback standards for well construction apply to the reserve site as to the primary septic drainfield. Small-lot family subdivisions, normally exempted from density restrictions and other ordinance requirements, should have to meet the reserve drainfield standard, he said. “I believe we’ve got to protect their health, too,” Mr. Miller maintained. Evidence shows that leaking underground storage tanks and failed septic systems present the greatest threat of groundwater contamination. Virginia’s worst case of water pollution is in Nelson County where unusually hard soil will simply not soak up waste discharged from home septic systems, according to Delegate J. A. Rollison, speaking before the State Water Commission’s July meeting in Manassas. Here in Rappahannock County, the Health Department found private wells in Sperryville contaminated by waste from septic fields malfunctioning in flood plain soils. It was this contamination and the concurrent discharge of raw sewage into the Thornton River that led to construction of the village’s sewer system. “Septic fields fail, and when that happens, we ought to be sure there’s a spot for a backup,” Mr. Miller said. The Hampton District representative, who chaired the meeting in the absence of A. Y. Stokes and David Fannon, also argued for a requirement for roads built to state standards for all subdivision development with lots less than 25 acres having no frontage on a state-maintained road. Currently, private streets constructed to the less exacting standards set out in the subdivision ordinance’s Appendix C are permitted to serve new subdivisions of up to seven lots. Under Mr. Miller’s proposal, Appendix C roads would be permitted only for lots greater than 25 acres. “That’s the break we give them for maintaining low density,” he said. By consensus, the commissioners also directed John McCarthy, administrative assistant to the Board of Supervisors, to formulate draft provisions on the threshold for lot size and number of lots for which a developer would be required to put in public water or sewer or both. “I believe we ought to arrive at a point where we require subdivisions to have public water and sewer,” said Mr. Miller. “Maybe that should be a requirement for subdivisions of lots less than five acres.” “Then you’ll never have any sub(See PLANNERS, page 16) Gym sealed after dust uncovered by workers Rappahannock County School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel said Tuesday evening that a construction crew working in the high school gymnasium Monday afternoon had uncovered an unknown dust which they feared was asbestos. Dr. Gangel said that as soon as he was notified of the situation on Tuesday he ordered the entire gym sealed as a precaution until a chemical analysis determined whether or not the substance was asbestos. A sample of the dust was to be taken to Richmond Wednesday morning for tests, he said. Results would be available in “24 to 48 hours,” he added. The superintendent said that “about a half-cup” of the substance fell from a four by six inch hole the workers had made in the ceiling onto the surface of a lift which they were using to remove insulation near a heating duct above the sideline of the basketball court. The dust had been cleaned up before the girls’ basketball teams arrived for practice Monday afternoon. Although Monday’s practice was held as scheduled, Dr. Gangel cancelled Tuesday evening’s season opener after he learned of the discovery of the dust. He stressed that ventilating fans were running in the gym all day Monday because of the high temperatures and that there was no indication that any basketball players had been endangered by be(See DUST, page 16) Board approves RCES Phys Ed. cut This time in open session, the Rappahannock School Board listened to Superintendent David Gangel’s reasons for cutting the formal physical education program for fourth through seventh graders to two days per week. Despite opposition from parents and teachers, the board supported the superintendent’s decision, approving the cut at its August meeting. “This is one issue on which we all received comments,” acknowledged chairman Beverly Massie, “so we know there is concern.” But, she maintained, the new superintendent must be given the opportunity to review and revise programs as the need dictates. “He is our educational leader and our curriculum specialist.” (The earlier explanation and discussion of the changes in the physical education program came at the July School Board meeting in executive session as an outgrowth of a personnel matter, according to the superintendent. The public airing of the issue at the August board meeting followed a report by the Rappahannock News of the action.) The elementary school has one less aide for 1987-88 than for last year, Dr. Gangel said. (A physical education aide chose not to return and her position was deleted by the School Board in (See GYM, page 15)

Joel Hoyer sees his art as part of ‘global dialogue9 As a kid, Joel Hoyer snatched the National Geographies as soon as the magazines dropped through the mail slot. Then secreted in his bedroom, he’d travel to new and wonderful places with each flip of the page. Those mind trips to long ago civilizations and foreign locations shape the art that Hoyer creates today at his Apple Mountain studio near Linden. His ritual baskets have a look of antiquity. They could be artifacts stolen from the monks who guard the caves along Asia’s old silk road or taken from a Navajo hogan or found in a burial vault of a long dead Egyptian noble. The horsetail whisk in one basket could have adorned the standard of Attila the Hun; the dance stick in another might have been Waved by an African warrior. The clubs leaning against the wall may have been carried by a pre-Columbian raiding party of native Americans. He readily acknowledges the effects of far away and long ago. “If they keep their eyes open, how can artists do anything but be influenced?” he asked, adding that television, at its best, brings the world into the living room with public broadcasting productions and network travelogues, specials and shows like Marlin Perkins’ Wild Kingdom . The electronic and print media are “so full of information, all at one time, from all over the world . . . Today, it’s so easy to be influenced by many different cultures,” Hoyer said, adding that art should reflect this “global dialogue.” He noted that a University of California professor is searching for reasons behind the current resurgence of artists working with ritual objects, like his baskets, and other “religious-type things.” Some see this happening because of a mystical pull of the turning century as the year 2000 approaches, Hoyer said. But his choice of art form comes from a conscious attempt to reestablish contact with the environment. “We’ve lost all of our connections with the earth, with the mother, with the universe, with life,” Hoyer maintained. “We’ve become parasites, and parasites ultimately destroy their host - and themselves.” His baskets are a reaffirmation of mankind’s dependency on Mother Earth and a rejection of that role of parasite. For three years, Hoyer has been creating ritual art, weaving rope into basket (Shajies as he looks out over LindertVoid orchards. He collects many of the feathers for his whisks from raptors left dead on the shoulders of 1-66 and Route 55, and he scavenges for the wood for his clubs and pounders in the path of power lines every fall as crews clear the utility company rights-of-way of interloping limbs and underbrush. In the winter, he works in the studio, painting visions from his own personal mythology in egg tempera, often over gold leaf. This art is very small, very fragile and very precious. Unlike the baskets, the paintings are not meant to be stroked, rubbed and hugged. “That’s probably another reason Rappahannock News photos/Daphne Hutchinson THIS SCREEN, with its gold masks and intricate inlay, is one of the backdrops for Joel Hoyer’s Blue Ridge Collaboration. Below, left, is a detail of one of the masks, showing the intricate shell inlay which surrounds it. Below, right, the artist with other examples of his work. why I wanted to do baskets,” said Hoyer, who was a painter before he was a basket weaver. But painting had been an avocation, not a vocation. His real work was in the art-related fields of restoration, gilding and fine frame making. Painting was relegated to long vacations from his Washington, D.C., jobs. “There just wasn’t enough time,” said Hoyer, looking back on his decigion, ^abandon the lucrative restoration work. “And it sapped my energy for real art, doing this art-related 'stuff.' After"‘restoring all day and all week, I didn’t feel like painting when I did have free time.” The turning point came when he was restoring kotas, the brass or copper reliques that adorn the African baskets which traditionally held the bones of revered ancestors. “I was intrigued by what they would look like back in the baskets,” Hoyer recalled. The fascination became even stronger as he began actually making the baskets. “Basket-making has always been considered women’s art,” Hoyer said, groping for an explanation for the fierce attraction. “The bones were kept in the baskets. They became a symbolic womb, a symbol of the mother, of the earth itself. I started making big baskets, and they even felt like a woman - the round shapes, the curves.” “I decided it would be better to starve in the mountains as an artist rather than become a blithering idiot in D.C. doing restorations for the White House and the State Department,” Hoyer continued, laughing. Now he weaves rope into great, sweeping curves, creating baskets that measure diameter in feet, or even yards. And to represent children, he coils the rope into smaller baskets, plugging the mouths with carved lightning-struck wood. The rope is covered with papier mache and then painted in deep earthy colors. The baskets sit on pedestals, another art form based in Hoyer’s inventive scavenging. Covered with intricate designs of delicate shells, painstakingly arranged, the pedestals are actually pieces of discarded stove pipe and old flues, disguised by a papier mache coating. For the last six months, Hoyer has been enmeshed in a collaborative effort with choreographer Sally Nash and composer Tom Espinola. His baskets, fetishes, jewelry and a riveting backdrop of papier mache tiles emblazoned with figures wearing three-dimensional masks of gold and lead are central to the production First Fruits, which will be presented this fall at the Rappahannock County Elementary School, James Madison University and Washington, D.C.’s Dance Place. “The baskets had become ritual objects for me,” Hoyer said, explaining the inspiration for the joint project. “But they only could become truly ritual objects by going through a ritual.” The collaboration is based on Lewis Hyde’s book The Gift, which Hoyer sees as appropriate. “Artists are truly gift givers,” he said. “If I wanted a new roof for my house or a fancy car, I would go back to restoration. The only reason I sell my work is to buy more materials to create more art.” Joel Hoyer’s ritual baskets will be featured in the upcoming Fiber Show exhibition at the Middle Street Gallery, a non-profit artists’ cooperative in Washington, Virginia. The show, which also includes works in fiber by Jeanne Prevas, Catherine Kiley, Janet Kerig, Sam Cliftrmand.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBERS, 1987 Editorial Commendable candor Dr. David Gangel, Rappahannock County’s new Superintendent of Schools, wasted no time in informing the public, through this newspaper, of the discovery of an unknown substance which may be asbestos in the high school gym. We commend the superintendent for his forthrightness, as well as his swift action in sealing off the possibly contaminated area. As the superintendent stressed, it is not yet known whether the small amount of dust released was asbestos. But, he’s taking no chances. Dr. Gangel is right on both counts. In other jurisdictions, both in Virginia and in other states, there have been problems with asbestos-contaminated school buildings. In some of those cases, the administrations involved denied or withheld information from concerned parents and community members. Later disclosures not only left the school administrators embarrassed, they raised the question of whether their children’s health may have been endangered by avoidable exposure to a proven hazardous substance. We hope that the analysis being conducted in Richmond will prove that the substance is, in fact, not asbestos. But until that is known, Dr. Gangel took a prudent step in sealing off the area. He also showed, by his timely release of the information, that he feels the public should be informed about such problems. That also is a prudent step. Hospice seeks volunteer help “If you have two or three hours a week to volunteer, Hospice of the Rapidan is looking for you,” a Hospice spokesman said recently. The Hospice is in desparate need of volunteers to work with terminally ill patients and their families through home-care and bereavement programs. The Hospice’s fall training sessions will be held at the Orange County Nursing Home on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning Oct. 20 and ending Nov. 10. Sessions will last from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Trainers will include registered nurses, social workers, bereavement counselors and hospice volunteers. Topics of discussion will include volunteer roles and responsibilities, theories of Kubler-Ross, communication skills, family dynamics, bereavement, cancer and a tour of a funeral home. According to the hospice spokesman, its current volunteer staff is unable to meet the requests for services, all of which are offered free of charge. During the first six months of 1987, hospice workers have assisted more than 45 families in Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties. The services provided by the volunteers ranged from emotional support to transportation, meals and respite care for families, as well as assisting with fund raising for hospice expenses. The hospice requested that any residents who are willing to help those in need of hospice services please call the Hospice of the Rapidan (825-4840) for information and an application.

Esposito, IRS District Director in Richmond. “Beginning this year only degree candidates can exclude from tax amounts received as a qualified scholarship. A qualified scholarship includes amounts used for tuition, fees, books and supplies required for courses. Other amounts s»'*h as those received for room and board or travel are no longer excludable,” Mr. Esposito said. Under previous law a degree k candidate could exclude the entire amount of a scholarship or fellowship. A non-degree candidate could exclude from tax up to $300 a month for 36 months. Prior law also allowed students to exclude compensation received for services, if all students had to perform the services as a requirement for the particular degree. Now, all compensation for services must be included on a tax return. Additional information on these changes can be obtained by calling the IRS Tele-Tax number 1-800-5544477 and listening to tape number 508. Users of push-button telephones can access this tape 24 hours a day.

Tough laws don’t stop outlaws By J. WARREN CASSIDY The recent tragedy in a London suburb in which a man shot and killed 14 people is sad proof that strict gun laws do not and cannot stop determined criminals and crazed persons in any country from committing murderous acts. It is commonly accepted that England’s gun laws are among the most restrictive in the world. Automatic firearms may be possessed only with authority from the Home Secretary, while rifles, pistols - for competition only - and shotguns with barrels of less than 24 inches require that a certificate be issued by a police chief only to persons who can show “good reason” for possession. Even long-barrelled shotguns require a certificate. While horrible incidents such as the one that occurred in Hungerford are rare in England, it is widely acknowledged that gun-related crime has been increasing over the past several years despite the country’s tough gun laws. Guest column According to rormer Chief Inspector Colin Greenwood of the Halifax, England, Constabulary, “The use of firearms in crime was very much less when there were no controls.” In fact, from 1969 to 1979 Great Britain’s gun-related crimes rose from 1,308 to 6,647, according to a report by the U.S. Library of Congress titled “Gun Control Laws in Foreign Countries.” A 1971 Cambridge University study of En1 gland's > -gun laws suggested “abolishing or substantially reducing controls.” Most scholars agree that English customs and culture are the determining factors in crime rates, not gun control. Another major factor in the low violent crime in the country is its system of jurisprudence. Criminals are swiftly and severely punished for their crimes. (Use of a gun in a burglary calls for imprisonment for life.) The answer to reducing violent crime and gun-related crime in the United States is tough penalties for criminals. But our criminal justice system doesn’t seem to be doing the job. In many places in the United States - Texas, Oklahoma and the District of Columbia are among the leaders - hundreds of prisoners are being released from jail before serving their foil terms because of overcrowding. Others are turning more and more to probation. Two recent cases of violence show the real problem in America: William Cruse, who in April shot and killed six people in Palm Bay, Fla., still is awaiting trial. Cruse probably will plead not guilty by reason of insanity, and may never serve time in prison; and a Virginia man who murdered a Virginia State Trooper and another man just last year could be eligible for parole in only seven years. There are approximately 20,000 gun laws in this country, yet violent crime continues to climb. And it is no coincidence that crime rates, which fell from 1980 to 1984 when the prison population was reaching an all-time high, now are on the rise as crowded prisons turn prisoners loose by the hundreds or refuse to accept new criminals. It’s a shame we have to be reminded of the truth by such a painful incident occurring so far away. It’s time we learned the lesson. To reduce the abuse of firearms, we must certainly and severely punish the abusers. No law can ever eliminate access to firearms to ,those intent on inflicting evil on good and decent people no matter where they live. J. Warren Cassidy is the executive vice president of The National Rifle Association. The NRA is one of the country’s most active and outspoken opponents of additional government controls on firearms. Just ordinary people? A couple of weeks ago, this column concerned the alleged heroes who have been created as a result of the Iran/Contra scandal. I offered my opinion that men who acted as they did hardly qualify for hero status. Prison denim, perhaps, but no medals of honor. I still feel that way, but I do have some ideas for nominations to the honor roll of heroes. Let’s start with the members of the volunteer fire and rescue companies in Rappahannock — and for that matter, let’s include all those outside the county as well. In the time I’ve been with the Rappahannock News, it’s been my good fortune to work closely with the members of the county’s seven companies. Sometimes, it’s been in situations as banal as writing a press release publicizing an upcoming carnival or dance. Other times, it’s been in the midst of grim, grisly situations, when lives and/or property hung in the balance. Though the two situations would seem to have little in common, there are threads which connect them. The first is the selflessness and sacrifice which these volunteers bring to their jobs. They are members of the department in their spare time, and whether the time is spent addressing fundraising envelopes or trying desperately to From my chair... Lou Hatter save a burning home, it is time spent away from families and their personal interests. The second thread is their professionalism. This is not a group of happy-go-lucky, devil-maycare people out on a lark. They are serious, and watching them perform as a well-drilled team, whether on the scene of an automobile accident, an illness or a fire, is an experience you don’t soon forget. They are dedicated individuals who sacrifice a considerable amount of time, in addition to fundraising and running calls, to training for emergency situations which each and every one truly hopes he or she will never have to face. But don’t mistake that hope for fear. These men and women are not supermen, and they will admit to being afraid. Given the situations they deal with, they’d be fools and worse not to be afraid. As one instructor told the group at a training session, “Fear is what keeps you alive.” That wish that the training never be put to use comes from their deep love and compassion for their fellow men. It’s the same love and compassion that sends them running from a warm bed to the backboard of a fire truck at 3 a.m. in February when a neighbor’s wood stove catches fire, or from Sunday dinner with their family to another neighbor’s house to save a heart attack victim. It’s also been my good fortune to see these men and women in good times as well — at a picnic held in appreciation of the EMS Council’s instructors, and at their annual dinner honoring the firefighter and squadsman of the year (who are nominated by their peers). They are a lot of fun to be with, and great jokers. They kid each other unmercifully. They are quite a group, as diverse as any you will find. They are craftsmen, secretaries, doctors, lawyers, homemakers, students and retired people. They’re all shapes, sizes, colors, ages and come from all stations of life. I’m proud to call them my friends. To me, at least, they’re also heroes. In the shadows of the Blue Ridge, Trapezoid plays under the stars The Blue Ridge foothills will reverberate with the sounds of dulcimer, mandola, cello, bass and keyboards as Trapezoid plays its only concert of the fall season at Oasis Vineyard this Saturday, Sept. 5. Since its genesis over a decade ago as a hammered dulcimer quartet, Trapezoid has evolved into what The Washington Post has called “maybe the finest folk ensemble in America today.” Founder Paul Reisler and long-time members Lorraine Duisit and Freyda Epstein have appeared on Emmy-award winning television musicals, recorded five albums and were the first group to sell out The Barns at Wolf Trap. With the addition earlier this year of percussionist Tom Jones and Michael Ahern on keyboards, the tunes are livelier, bounder, and more uptempo but the music remains the delightful blend that is uniquely Trapezoid. The group’s sound, style and selections can’t be squeezed into the standard musical category. The quintette warbles a cappella bluegrass, croons a gentle Japanese lullaby, picks, fiddles and strums traditional numbers, quickens the pace for jazz, slows it down again for low down blues, finds a brogue for an Irish folk song and a swing beat for contrapuntal improvisation. But this is not the usual eclectic collection of strings that sounds like 10 different bands on 10 different numbers. Trapezoid takes an original or a traditional song - be it from Ireland or the Orient, South Africa, South America, South Carolina or South Dakota - and makes it the band’s own. “When we learn a song we like, we sit around and play it a lot. We change things, sometimes even melodies and harmonies,” Paul Reisler explained. “Consequently, all the songs have a particular sound that’s ours.” “Throughout our years as Trapezoid, the music has continually evolved,” he added. “Yet a common thread has always tied it together: our great respect and love for tradition, for that which has come before. But loving tradition is not merely wanting to preserve it. It’s wanting to see it alive and thriving. We draw from tradition, but if the music is to stay alive, it has to keep that open spirit of adventure and change.” The open spirit of Trapezoid’s music could find no better setting than the open air of the natural amphitheater at Oasis Vineyard. Tucked into the base of the Blue Ridge between Huntly and Hume, the vineyards stretch over the rolling hills that will serve as a backdrop for the pondside stage. Fodderstack Mountain and her sisters stand in the distance. It is a romantic scene that makes truth of the state’s advertising slogan: “Virginia Is for Lovers.” Tickets for the concert, which will begin at 6 p.m., are available from Oasis Winery and through the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community in Washington. (The non-profit organization, dedicated to promoting the visual and performing arts, will receive a portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales.) Food and drink will be available on the grounds. For additional information, call the winery at 635-7627 or RAAC at 675-3193.

Pre-schoolers need eye exam September is National SightSaving Month, and this year the Virginia Affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness is emphasizing the need for parents to schedule a professional eye exam for their preschool-aged children. “Parents should be aware that some forms of childhood eye problems, such as emblyopia or ‘Lazy Eye’ can virtually steal a child’s sight if not diagnosed and treated before the age of six,” said Roland Pitts, program director of the Virginia Affiliate. The National Society to Prevent Blindness estimates that as many as 10,400 preschool-aged children in Virginia have some sort of vision problem, and a significant percentage of those cases are undiagnosed. According to Mr. Pitts, “Amblyopia is a robber of sight and the most common cause of uncorrected visual problems in young children.” It affects 2 to 4 percent of all American children - most often between three and five years of age, when they are too young to realize what they should be able to see. What an amblyopic child does see is a normal world through one eye and a blurred world through the other. Amblyopia accompanies a, number of other vision disorders such as crossed eyes or nearsightedness, which causes the eyes to see with different degrees of clarity. The brain accepts the clear image and suppresses the distorted view, with the result that one eye is not stimulated to develoo DroDerlv. Children with misaligned eyes have the best chance of early detection because their primary problem is so obvious that parents seek medical help. However, children with focusing problems that can lead to amblyopia may go undetected for years. By the time the problem is discovered, it may be too late for effective treatment. Vision screening of the central distance visual acuity for children can be a valuable tool in the detection of potential eye problems. Finding a difference in vision between the two eyes, that is not caused by other ailments, can alert parents to seek medical attention for their child at a young age. According to Mr. Pitts, “The Virginia Affiliate-NSPB has trained more than 500 volunteers throughout the state to conduct vision screenings of young children. During 1986-87 Society volunteers screened more than 20,000 children. Through their efforts, many potential vision problems have been de' tected early enough for effective treatment. These screenings are not diagnostic. Parents are encouraged to take their children for regular professional eye exams, especially before they enter school. Parents should be on the lookout for certain behavioral signs which may indicate a child is having difficulty with their vision. Your child may have a vision problem if he/she: • Rubs eyes excessively. • Shuts or covers one eye, tilts head or thrusts head forward. • Has difficulty in reading or in other work requiring close use of the eyes. • Blinks more than usual or is irritable when doing close work. • Is unable to see distant things clearly. • Squints eyelids together or frowns. Mr. Pitts concluded, “If untreated, amblyopia can lead to blindness in the affected eye. If the situation is detected early enough, though, it can usually be treated and corrected. Children don’t know what they should see - only what they can see. Is your child seeing as well as he should?” Recycle.

Green’ needs posters The Virginia Forestry Association and Virginia Department of Forestry are sponsoring a “Keep Virginia Green” poster contest for students in kindergarten through 12th grades. Also sponsoring the contest this year is the Council on the Environment. The contest offers 74 high school cash awards amounting to $1,400 and 387 awards totaling $610 for elementary students. Also available to grades K-8 will be School Incentive Awards if the school holds a local judging of their posters. The amount of these cash awards will be based on the number of posters entered in the local judging. The money can be used at the school’s discretion, but the sponsors hope it will be used to provide prizes to the local winners. This will give the students instant recognition for their efforts and the winning posters can then be displayed in the school prior to the Nov. 20 state contest deadline. Deadline for applying for the Incentive Awards is Nov. 2. If a school participates in the School Incentive Award program, the top 10 posters from each grade level will then be sent to Virginia Forestry Association by the Nov. 20 deadline for the statewide judging. For more information about the contest and an entry form write or call Mary Foust, Director of Educational Programs, Virginia Forestry Association, 1205 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, (804) 6448462. Virginia Forestry Association is a non-profit, membership association consisting of tree farmers, foresters, forest industry, and other conservation-minded citizens.

Larry Hovis, Kim Hovis, Sandra Jenkins. Baptists visit ‘Friendship House Sixteen members of the congregation of the Washington Baptist Church participated in a mission trip to Friendship House in Newport News on Aug. 20 and 21. The trip was part of the church’s “Christmas in August” program and its Youth Sunday School ministries. Friendship House is located in the inner city of Newport News, where its mission workers have provided spiritual, financial and social programs and support to youth and the elderly since 1969. “But my major emphasis is evangelism, sharing Jesus Christ,” said Lynn Latham, its director for the past seven years. While at Friendship House, the participants received an orientation about the facility from Miss Latham and a tour led by Wes Garrett, who began visiting Friendship House when he was eight. Mr. Garrett, now 26, is a former U. S. Army Chaplain who is pursuing a career in the ministry. After the tour, the visitors went to work on the century-old “home.” The lawn was cut, litter picked up, chairs painted, a basement wall waterproofed, bulletin boards created and a refrigerator cleaned - each task part of a long list of “small” jobs ' Miss Lathaht had compiled. The participahts'also delivered to Friendship House many items which r"" 1 ■■■ 1 are always needed to operate the mission, including stamps, paper towels, cups and plates, crafts supplies, cloth and clothing, school supplies and donations of money. Teen visitors Noah and Celeste Waggener presented Miss Latham with a check for $40, money their Sunday School class raised during a car wash on July Fourth in Sperryville. “Most gifts were from members of our church, but as people in the community heard about our upcoming trip, they were eager to contribute, too,” said Jon Heddleston, one of the organizers. Aileen Inc., for example, contributed several large boxes of fabric while individuals gave money or other “wish list” items. Prior to arriving at Friendship House, the group visited Mrs. Mayes Campbell, a former Washington resident who now lives with her daughter and son-in-law in Newport News. During their stay the participants were overnight guests of families from the Hampton Baptist Church in Hampton. 25% off WONDERFUL WINDOW Warmer Winters, Cooler Summers with Wonderful Window’s Exclusive Magnetic Sealing System SALE ENDS SEPT. 30,1987 Closed Sat., Sept. 5 and Mon., Sept. 7 Hours: Mon.-Fri. 9 tV.

Mushrooms make for easy elegance By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economies Mushrooms are a popular ingredient in gourmet dishes. Often when people are asked for advice on what to serve that’s impressive, the response is “make something with mushrooms - they’re always special.” It’s true; there’s something about mushrooms that gives people the idea that you’ve gone to a lot of fiiss. Actually, all you’ve done is rinse the mushrooms in cool water and pat them dry with paper towels — and they’re ready to use. Fresh mushrooms may be white, cream or tan in color, depending on the variety. When buying mushrooms look for those that are closed around the stems by a thin veil and those that show no blemishes. As mushrooms age, loss of moisture causes the veil around the caps to open. Such mushrooms are perfectly good to use, but will have a stronger flavor. Locally, farmers are growing shiitake mushrooms. These were originally grown in the Far East, where they are also known as Golden Oak mushrooms. They have a light garlic-pine aroma. Shiitakes are usually available year round, but are most plentiful during spring and autumn. To eryoy mushrooms at their best, handle them carefully at home. They should be kept cold and humid, but with adequate air circulation. If you buy fresh mushrooms from a bulk display and carry them home in a plastic bag, remove the mushrooms from the bag when you get home and store them in a dampened paper towel on a rack in the refrigerator. Or transfer them from a plastic to a paper bag. If you want to keep them in a plastic bag, cut some holes in the bag to provide ventilation. If you buy the mushrooms prewrapped, in a cardboard container, make sure air holes have been punched in the wrapping. Once film wrap has been removed, cover remaining mushrooms with a damp paper towel and refrigerate. Rinse mushrooms gently in cold water just'before using. Do not peel mushrooms. Valuable nutrients and texture will be lost. Mushrooms may be used whole or sliced, chopped or minced. Mushrooms have their own special taste, which can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The delicate flavor complements many foods. They are delightful sauteed with butter and herbs and great teamed with steak or roast beef. For an extra zing, as you finish sauteeing, pour a touch of white wine or brandy into the pan. The alcohol will evaporate, leaving only the flavor. Chopped mushrooms give hamburger patties new dimension. Slice fresh mushrooms into salads and stuffings, omelets and cream sauces. Serve them raw with dips or stuff caps with your favorite breadcrumb mixture and broil as a side dish or appetizer. No matter how they are enjoyed, mushrooms offer many nutritious qualities. They are rich in potassium, a good source of B vitamin, niacin and fiber and they’re low in sodium. Mushrooms are a dieter’s true friend - one cup of sliced mushrooms has only 20 calories. Here’s a guide to the quantities you’ll get from a pound of mushrooms prepared various ways: 1 pound: about 12 large, 18-20 medium or 30-40 small 1 pound whole: about 5 cups sliced, 6 cups chopped 1 pound sliced and cooked: about IV* cups 1 pound diced and cooked: about 2 cups Mushrooms add elegance to the following dishes: Fried Mushrooms 1/4 tsp. white pepper 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/4 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs 1/2 cup flour 24 medium mushrooms, cleaned 1/2 cup beer Vegetable oil Combine peppers, chili powder, salt, onion powder and garlic powder in a small bowl; set aside. Combine breadcrumbs and flour in a paper bag. Dip mushrooms in beer. Place in paper bag with breadcrumbs and flour and shake well. Fry in deep skillet with hot vegetable oil. Drain and sprinkle seasonings over mushrooms. This dish can be served with a sour cream and dill dip or a mayonnaise horseradish dip. Shiitake Mushroom Omelet 1/2 cup dried shiitake mushrooms IV2 cups hot water Vegetable cooking spray 2 teaspoons minced green onion 1 tablespoon sherry 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 eggs 2 egg whites 2 tablespoons skim milk 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley Sliced tomatoes Soak mushrooms in hot water 45 minutes, drain.

Day realtor ss.ss YOU’VE GOT A NICE FACE...BUT Do you know what I consider one of the greatest drawbacks of the seller who tries to sell his home? The fact that most prospects will not confide their objections to the seller s face. I ve found that the great preponderance of buyers are gentle, polite and caring individuals. That’s the problem. They don’t want to insult you. You may have the nicest face on the block, but a promising buyer may have abrupdy decided that he couldn’t afford the price of your home and left. He didn’t want to hurt your feelings. On the other hand, price is a subject that they WOULD discuss with a Realtor (they do it all the tune) who could then show them how it could possibly be financed within their means. A. nice prospect wouldn’t dream of telling a nice Seller that the carpeting was worn or certain rooms need to be repainted. They’d tell this to a Realtor though, who could arrange to make minor financial adjustments or repairs and save what could have been a lost sale. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone. 6743400. We’re here to help.

DR. D. M. HARDISON Or. Hardison to preach at Gid Brown Dr. D. M. Hardison of Chesapeake, staff evangelist at Atlantic Baptist Bible College, will conduct revival services Sept. 13-18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Gid Brown Bible Church, in Gid Brown Hollow near Washington. Dr. Hardison was born in Eastern North Carolina. Due to the death of his mother at birth, he was raised by his grandparents on a small farm. In his preaching he often uses illustrations which reflect upon his rural upbringing. He is one of a passing breed of old-fashioned preachers whose love and respect for the scriptures cannot be doubted. He offers no other solution for man’s ills than Jesus Christ the Lord. Dr. Hardison has been preaching for more than 30 years, with more than a quarter century pastoring. He organized two independent Baptist churches and has helped to organize several others. He founded the Atlantic Baptist Bible College in 1960 and served as the college president for many years. He has served as a trustee of the school since its beginning. Dr. Hardison has been active in the ranks of Independent Baptists for many years. He was a member of the first such church to be organized in Tidewater Virginia in the late ’40s. He served as president of the North Carolina and Virginia Independent Baptist Preachers Fellowship, and for two years was the president of the International Fellowship of Independent Baptists. He was invited to debate at the Old Dominion University before the Emerson Forum on the subject “Liquor by the Drink,” and has preached at the Pentagon in-Washington, D.C. He edits a paper, The Circuit Rider News and has written a book, The County Parson. Dr. Hardison has traveled throughout the Eastern United States in the field of evangelism during the past 10 years. He has preached in several foreign countries and has led numbers of tours to the Holy Land. Come and hear this energetic preacher speak on such subjects as prophecy, revival, heaven, hell and Christian living. It will be a powerpacked hour that will pass more quickly than you can believe. Gid Brown Bible Pastor John Burke and the congregation extend an invitation to the public.

CMH cookbook available now While embracing international edibles such as “a proper cup of tea,” Austrian Chocolate Balls, Hungarian Turkey, Bavarian Potato Soup and something of unknown origin called Mulligatawny, the Culpeper Memorial Hospital cookbook is not only cosmopolitan, but down-home American as well. Reminiscent of family reunions and covered-dish dinner-on-theground, easy old favorites like meat loaf, grandmother’s pound cake, and the ubiquitous tuna cheese bake are also well-represented. Registered nurse Earl Aylor provided the book with the blessed assurance of a basic pie crust (that never fails), and for those who’ve forgotten, Dr. Bruce Redmon donated a refresher course on building the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The often-sought and shared 30day Friendship Cake, a contribution of the Physical Therapy crowd, is in itself a recipe delectable enough to warrant the $5 price of the book. Grocery hints and kitchen tips throughout the book add immeasurable value to the bargain. As further evidence of CMH employees’ interest in the growth of the hospital, all profits from the sale of the cookbook compiled by the hospital family will be donated to the Campgain for CMH to support the hospital’s facilities enhancement project, a CMH spokesman said. “There are so many good cooks at CMH, and we thought it would be fun to share our favorite recipes with others while contributing to the building fund,” said Wayne Weaver, co-chairman of the cookbook committee. “The response has certainly been enthusiastic. Of the 750 cookbooks printed, 60 sold in the first week without any advertisement,” he added. After hitting the market in late June, the cookbook had made enough by mid-July to pay for itself. Committee members celebrated with a symbolic! invoice-burning and breathed a collective sigh of relief. The cookbook contains 250 recipes donated by 88 contributors.

Once touched by this special love, you never forget it. All the children get special love from each other and from the volunteers, the 4-H Center staff, the doctors and nurses who use their vacations to come to Camp Fantastic. (“It’s not surprising at all when you think about it,” said a nurse, looking a little embarrassed at the notice of their contribution. “We work with a lot of these kids, and the only time we see them is when they’re in the hospital, suffering through some painful treatment. Here we’re all having fun. We need to see each other in this setting. They need it and we need it.”) They all get special love but at every camp, there are a few children whose fortitude and spirit make them specially loved. This year, Jeremy was one of those children. Jeremy came in a wheelchair bed, unable to move his left arm or his legs. He had recently undergone a traecheotomy and spoke barely in a whisper. He wasn’t sure he was going to like camp. But by the time the dream week ended, he’d won the marksmanship award (he pulled the trigger and directed the counselor who aimed the gun). He’d been kissed three times by Madonna (an impersonator of the popular rock star but it made no difference to the kids; they were as delighted as if she’d been the real thing). His forehead pressed against a buddy’s, he’d bellowed out his favorite song: “I like bananas, coconuts and grapes, That’s why they call me Tarzan of the Apes.” Jeremy in his wheel chair had even led the Congo line of kids as they snaked around the dance floor, rockin’ and rollin’. Jeremy proves the power of Camp Fantastic. The program would be worthwhile if all it did was give these children a great week of fun with crafts, swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, campfire skits, shortsheeted bunks, whispered midnight talks and a summer crush. But it does much more. It gives them a better chance at life. The medical profession is just beginning to realize the importance of attitude to the successful treatment of cancer.

Saturday morning, as the kids were saying tearful goodbyes and oading up to go home, a new friend asked Jeremy if he’d be back at camp next summer. “Nope, don’t think so,” Jeremy answered. “Why not?” asked the friend. Jeremy’s reply: “Football practice.” It was a community effort At the close of every Hollywood production, the credits roll down the screen.

Gym (Continued from Page H) reaction to budget cuts by the Board of Supervisors.) “Obviously something had to be done,” the superintendent said, adding that the RCES physical education teacher faced an “unrealistic load” without an aide. Aide assignments were reviewed and all aides were found to be “contributing well,” Dr. Gangel said. Rather than transfer an aide from another classroom or from the elementary school office, the PE teacher’s load was lightened by limiting regular physical education to two days per week for upper elementary students. (Youngsters in kindergarten through third grade are already restricted to two days per week of physical education under a certified physical education teacher.) Dr. Gangel added that he anticipates a need for a “long term substitute” for one classroom aide “so we may be pulling the one out of the office for a period of time.” “There were a number of options,” he conceded. “I believe the best situation is the option we’ve taken.” Classroom teachers will have the choice of allowing recess or having “structured time if they coordinate it with the PE teacher,” the superintendent noted. “There will still be time outside . . . Hopefully, it’s the best possible schedule we can make. ” Formerly, classroom teachers had the half-hour their charges were with the phys. ed. instructor to use as planning time. In a telephone interview, Dr. Gangel noted that daily planning time is recommended - but not mandated — for elementary teachers. Likewise, the state recommends but does not mandate 30 minutes of physical education daily under a certified instructor. He pointed out that RCES teachers at the upper elementary level will still have a half-hour planning period through the combination of two days per week of phys. ed., one day each for library and music and one day of “doubling up for resource.” Also at the August School Board meeting, Dr. Gangel promised to review “all curricular situations” once the school year has started. “If we find a crying need, we’ll make adjustments, if we have the re sources.” One parent objected to the phys. ed. reduction by letter; others came to the meeting, hoping to have a chance to speak. Vickie Eastham described the five-day program as essential. “Children need a change of pace from seat work,” she wrote, noting that homework assignments severely limit time for after-school play, particularly for the academically-motivated youngster. She also pointed to a decline in scores for physical fitness testing posted by the fourth through seventh grade age group when physical fitness requirements are being raised. In addition, she wrote that teachers need the unencumbered time for planning, use of school machines and participation in conferences to develop the statemandated Individual Educational Programs (IEP) for special education students. RCES science teacher Lynne Baines asked if the board would entertain questions and comments on this agenda item, taken up after 10 p.m. following the board’s hour and a half closed door meeting on “contractual obligations” with architects for the high school building project. “Not until the end of the meeting,” answered Mrs. Massie. That end didn’t come until after midnight and after the departure of several parents who had brought their children with them to the School Board meeting. The loss of planning time will mean that teachers will have to stay after school for screening, eligibility and IEP meetings, said Mrs. Baines, who waited out the board. If the problem with daily phys. ed. is the heavy student load for the phys. ed. teacher, how can classroom teachers be expected to take double classes during the resource period, she asked. The RCES veteran pointed out that the number of phys. ed. students has been excessive for well over a decade, with the situation even more aggravated before the recent decline in the school’s enrollment. “We’ve needed another phys. ed. teacher for at least 10 years,” Mrs. Baines said. Maintaining that a “PE aide is just as necessary as an aide in the office,” she asked for a year’s study before any program changes are implemented. With the new tougher requirements in the President’s Physical Fitness Program, “we need more structured PE, not less.” “I support Mrs. Baines on the phys. ed.,” said Sharon Kilpatrick, who along with several others who remained until the comment period added endorsements for maintaining the daily phys. ed. program for the upper elementary students. “We need five days a week for the young ones - not two days a week for older ones,” she added. Also at its August meeting, the School Board: • Directed Superintendent Gangel to develop a plan for delayed school openings for the board’s review. The consideration of late school opening, long used by the neighboring school divisions to avoid closing when light snow or ice make roads impassable in the early morning hours, comes at the request of the Rappahannock County Education Association and the elementary school’s PTA. • Opened bids for science lab equipment but accepted neither of the two quotes, deciding instead to readvertise with inclusion of furnishings for a second lab with the specifications to be drawn by one of the bidding firms. The second lab, part of the RCHS expansion planned as a lecture room, is being equipped at the order of the Board of Supervisors; the board made a second fully functional lab a condition for allowing the carry-over of unexpended funds from the 1986-87 school budget to cover the deficit in the high school building fund. • Heard from Dr. Gangel on assignment of administrative duties. Although the central office position of special services coordinator was cut, “the responsiblities don’t go away. The responsibilities must be reassigned,” he noted. The superintendent said he will take over administration of the gifted and talented programs; the assistant superintendent will be responsible for the capital outlay project, Tit}e 1 and II programs, testing and transportation services; the assistant principal at the elementary school will oversee special education and the high school principal vocational education. • Authorized Dr. Gangel to get cost estimates on moving a second partition from the high school’s current computer room

Town (Continued from Page 1) e Reconstruction of buildings, fences or other structures to equal their appearance within the past two years. Those exceptions, however, are limited by the power of the zoning administrator to order work halted in any case where he feels that it may have an adverse effect on the district. The proposed ordinance also requires that, prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit by the Building and Zoning office, the applicant receive a Certificate of Compliance from the ARB stating that the structure meets its approval as to appropriateness. The revised ordinance is also more specific in its general standards of appropriateness. It divides the town into two districts, Area A to be the bulk of the town. Area B is all properties fronting on Mt. Salem Ave., and all lots on the south side of Rt. 211 Business and east of the lots bordering the western town boundary. The standards to be used by the ARB in determining appropriateness are, for Area A, the town’s founding to 1900, and for Area B, its founding to 1945. The ordinance directs that the ARB may adopt “Design Standards,” but notes that they will serve as general guidelines and precedents only, since “each case may differ in one or more particulars from the last.” It spells out the factors which must be considered in approving an application: all architectural features, general design, scale and arrangement, texture, material and color. The present historic district ordinance includes a section which forbids the demolition of any building, structure or fence without permission of the ARB. The proposed ordinance much more clearly defines the standards which must be used by the ARB in reaching a decision in such a case: • Whether it would meet the requirements to be considered a national, state or local historic landmark. • Whether it is of such old, or unusual, design or construction that it would be difficult to duplicate. • Whether saving the building would preserve and protect the historic character of the town. However, the owner does retain the absolute right to demolish such a building provided that he apply to the ARB and has offered the property for sale at its assessed valuation for at least one year without receiving an offer to buy at or greater than that value. Similar requirements must be met by anyone desiring to move a structure within the historic district. The structural soundness of the building must not be harmed, the “historical aspects” of surrounding properties must not be affected, its new surroundings must be “harmonious and compatible,” and whether it is the last resort to save the building from demolition. The ordinance also would give the ARB the power, through Town Council, to force property owners whose properties are in hazardous condition to make necessary repairs. If those repairs are not made, council will direct that they be made and a lien will be placed on the property for the cost of the work. If in the opinion of the county’s building inspector the building is unsalvagable, the ARB is also empowered to approve its razing. As is the case with the present ordinance, decisions by the ARB may be appealed to Town Council. If the applicant is still dissatisfied with council’s finding, he may appeal to the Circuit Court. Any ruling will be stayed during the appeal process, with the exception of those denying permission to demolish the disputed object. The proposed ordinance also provides specific requirements for the documentation which the ARB may request during consideration of any application. Those may include architectural plans, site plans, landscaping drawings and renderings. One of the nuqor sections missing from the previous ordinance, according to Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Reynolds, was any provision for enforcement of the ordinance. The proposed amemdments would rectify that. Section Seven provides that the ordinance shall be enforced by the zoning administrator or his appointed representative. Anyone “who erects, moves, razes, demolishes, substantially alters or reconstructs a building, fence or other structure ... or otherwise violates the provisons of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor ...” The fine for such violation is “not less than $10 nor more than $100 per day,” if the offense is not willful. If in the opinion of the court the fine per day is between $25 and $250. Planners (Continued from Page 1) divisions,” countered Commissioner Werner Krebser. “That’s what it will mean,” Mr. McCarthy agreed. “But if a developer is going to put in houses on two acres, two acres and two acres all over a 300-acre tract, he’d better put in public water or sewer or both, or we’ll end up with the groundwater polluted,” Mr. Miller contended. “We just don’t know what’s going on down there!” The requirement for the utilities might come into play with two-acre subdivisions of more than 10 lots, Mr. McCarthy posed, saying he’ll bring several options for the commissioners to consider at their next work session. “I’m all in favor of that,” added Mr. Krebser. Mr. McCarthy will also give the commissioners a revision on the exemption from ordinance standards for family subdivisions. “At every public hearing, there was a cry for mothers, fathers and nmnniwwiwiiiww NUGGETS OF TRUTH by William (Bill) Taylor-Pastor Family Worship Center Washington, Va. Dear reader, according to God’s Holy Word, the Lord Jesus Christ is going to return as a thief in the night. Are you ready to meet the Lord? Have you made peace with God through his son Jesus? His blood was shed on the cross for the remission of your sins. If you would believe that he is the Savior, the son of God who died for the sins of the world and repent of your sin, and confess him as your Lord and Savior, then your sin would be washed away by his precious blood, and you would be a child of God, and would look forward to the returning of Jesus Christ. But if you reject Jesus as your Savior then you shall be lost for eternity with no hope, and you will have to pay the price for your own sin, because you rejected the payment Jesus freely made for you Jesus went to hell and payed the price for you, but you rejecting his payment for you, means you will pay for your own sins, which according to God’s word is eternity in hell yourself. This is why I'm sharing the Good News of the Gospel with you, so that you won’t be lost and die in your sin. My friend Jesus loves you so much that he died on a cross to set you free from your sin, and give you new life, which is only found in Him Surrender your life to him now, for we know not the time of his return. But we do know that he will return as a thief in the night.

Mr. Rick added that the VAMHA intends to make the Fauquier County case a test of such restrictive zoning ordinances, and is ready to appeal any unfavorable rulings as far as the United States Supreme Court. Sam Falwell, president of the VAMHA, said in a telephone interview with The Fauquier Democrat that his organization is prepared to spend up to $100,000 to finance the case. He cited discrimination as the reason the VAMHA decided to back Mr. Faircloth in his suit. But, when questioned, he admitted that a court decision overturning the ordinance could mean a 2 to 3 percent increase in sales of mobile homes in the Commonwealth. According to industry experts, the sales of mobile homes in Virginia and across the nation are slumping, with sales figures flat for most of the period since 1980. Mr. Falwell said that a ruling favorable to the VAMHA, which would nullify Fauquier’s ordinance, will not be a magic stimulus for the industry, but would permit “substantial” growth over time. The reaction of local government officials to the pending suit was unanimous: support of Fauquier’s ordinance and disapproval of mobile homes as permanent housing. “My major complaint is not against the people who live in them,” Mr. McCarthy emphasized. “It is the simple fact that there is a great deal 1 of evidence that mobile homes are not good retainers of value.” There’s no doubt that mobile homes are the cheapest home stock 1 available, he said, “but as an invest- ! ment, or as a permanent structure that will live on indefinitely, (I have) serious doubt as to their viability and compatibility to traditional homes. They deteriorate at a rate and in a fashion far greater than that of site-built homes. ” ; “Site-built structures,” Mr. McCarthy explained, “havS 20 years to appreciate in value.” Qri the other hand, “a 20-year-old mobile home is just that.” The principal challenge to ordinances restricting mobile homes, he added, is that such ordinances exclude some segment of the population from home ownership. Usually, the argument is advanced that it is a racial and/or socio-economic exclusion. On the contrary, Mr. McCarthy said, “there is nothing in the literature which indicates that mobile homes have a preponderance of minority occupants. By the industry’s own comments and figures,” he said, reaching for a copy of “The Old Dominion Outlook,” a trade publication of the VAMHA, “they are in the median.” Flipping through the Spring 1987 issue of “Outlook,” Mr. McCarthy pointed to a statement by Ron Dunlop, executive director of VAMHA. He called the popular beliefs about mobile home occupants “misconcep Dust (Continued from Page 1) ing in the gym during Monday’s practice. Dr. Gangel said that he contacted Dr. John Einarson, chief of the Virginia Department of Health for Planning District 9, who said that given the minute amount of material exposed and the ventilation of the area, he felt there was no cause for alarm about the exposure. “We may be being overly cautious,” Dr. Gangel said of his actions. “But when you’re dealing with people’s children you can’t be too cautious.” He added that the gym will remain sealed “as long as there is any question as to what the, substance is.” At presstime Wednesday, the situation remained on hold as school officials waited for the test results from Richmond. Dr. Gangel said that contingency plans were being developed to cover both possible answers to the analysis. If the substance is not asbestos, he said, the gym will be reopened. If the test results are positive, the gym will re main sealed until the substance can be disposed of properly. The superintendent said that he has already been in contact with several private firms which are experts in doling with asbestos and their recommendation was to seal off the area until the substance is positively identified. He said that he had already taken that action before contacting the companies. Dr. Gangel said that Fee Day activities at the high school, scheduled for Thursday, will go on as planned. “I want to emphasize that as far as students and parents entering the building, it is perfectly safe.” They will not be able to see the gym, he said, unless the information has been received that the substance is not asbestos. “However, I want to encourage all to come on in and take care of their fees as scheduled.” The superintendent said that the administration felt that the precautions taken “were in the best interests of the students. We serve the public and we want to act in their best interests.” Fall registration 4' Lord Fairfax Community College will conduct registration for its 1987 fall quarter courses according to the following schedule: Sept. 3 from noon through 8 p.m. is open registration (excluding senior citizens eligible for free tuition).

Although they must, by law, conform to all safety codes, Mr. McCarthy maintained that mobile homes often do not offer the same standards of construction that sitetmilt homes have. He cited less wall and roof strength as examples where problems have been found. Mobile homes have also, in the past, proved to be fire hazards, as well as being unstable in high winds, he said. Hampton District Supervisor Newbill Miller echoed Mr. McCarthy’s point. “Look at reports of ieaths and injuries from windstorms,” he said. In most cases, the casualties have resulted from a mobile home park being torn up. Industry officials dispute those allegations, maintaining that the design and construction of mobile homes has improved drastically in recent years. The VAMHA publication asserts that mobile homes compare favorably in every respect with site-built and modular dwellings. Fauquier Planning Director Richard McNear, who assisted Rappahannock County in drafting its zoning ordinance, defended the Fau quier ordinance. Although he declined specific comment on the pending suit, he said, ‘The county believes they have valid reasons for excluding them” as single-family dwellings on individual lots. He suggested that there is a widespread feeling among the public that mobile homes are aesthetically unappealing and reduce property values. “I think you’ll find that there’s probably strong public support in this county not to allow it,” he said. “If I had to give you a gut reaction I would say a referendum on it would fail miserably.” Piedmont Environmental Council Director Robert Dennis said that his organization, as well as other environmental groups, stands behind the restrictive ordinance. “We believe the Fauquier ordinance is sufficient and it will be upheld. It seems to us that the county has every right to control what we believe is substandard housing.” Fauquier County Administrator Steve Crosby said that the county hopes to enlist the support of the Virginia Association of Counties, a statewide lobbying group based in Richmond which represents local governments. VACO President Richard HallSizemore refused comment on the matter, saying that he had not reviewed the suit. (Don Del Rosso, Fauquier Democrat staff uniter, also contributed to this report.) PEC continues search for growth policy at annual meet The highlight of the Piedmont Environmental Council’s annual meeting, to be held Saturday, Sept. 12, at Mrs. Vinton Pickens’ Janelia Farm, will be the presentation of the organization’s community service award to Loudoun County’s first lady of planning and zoning. While Mrs. Pickens found a way to manage the inevitable development coming to her 288 acres, most of Virginia is still looking. PEC’s agenda for the annual meeting focuses on that quest: • Keynote speaker Jacquelin Robertson, the dean of the University of Virginia’s School of Architecture, will talk on the search for a growth policy for the state. • Audrey Moore, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors’ outspoken critic of uncontrolled and unplanned growth, will give the view from the Washington, D.C., Beltway. • Robert G. Jones, the mayor of Virginia Beach, will present the view from Tidewater. Those attending PEC’s meeting and luncheon at Janelia Farm can also take in the view of Sugarloaf Mountain, protected through a scenic easement given to the Historic Landmarks Commission. That easement and other restrictions secured by Mrs. Pickens ensure that important historic, environmental and esthetic qualities of Janelia Farm will be shielded when the balance of the estate is developed as an office park.
