Constitution’s birthday lauded with o^ltfhry By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “It’s a time to reflect,” noted Attorney Doug Baumgardner, ”to think about America and what has made it great. We owe much to our Constitution; our prosperity as a people, to the fact that the Constitution’s integrity has been maintained over 200 years.” Mr. Baumgardner offered some reflections of his own during a Bicentennial observance held last Thursday in Rappahannock County Circuit Court. A recess was called by Judge W. Shore Robertson at 11 a.m. to mark the Constitution’s 200th birthday. All of Virginia’s courts recessed at that time, and a proclamatiom was read in honor of the occasion. Mr. Baumgardner said that our political stability can be traced to the Constitution’s presence during the entire history of the country. “Look at the track records of other nations: one-half of the independent states in the world have had more than one constitution since World War II. Syria and Thailand have had nine each in the last 40 years. “It is remarkable that we have functioned under one for the last 200 years — and that ours was the first of all.” He told the group of about two dozen county residents gathered in the courtroom that America’s Constitution served as the model for others: for Poland, in 1791 the second country to adopt a democratic constitution. Later that year, France became the third country, also using America’s document as a model. “We owe our freedoms in so many ways to the Constitution— we encounter them every day... freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to associate with whomever we please, freedom from search and seizure.” Those freedoms, Mr. Baumgardner added, are among the issues being debated during the current confirmation hearings for Judge Robert Bork, nominated by President Reagan to serve on the Supreme Court. “It is remarkable that the debate is taking place in the context that it is — that we can be debating the different aspects of the issues rather than whether they exist at all.” The Washington attorney, who is well-known as a scholar of legal history, added that “we would be remiss if we did not note the role that Virginia played in the formation and ratification” of the Constitution. Virginia, Mr. Baumgardner pointed out, was the largest state in the Union in 1787, encompassing a land area as large as the six New England states combined — with a population of 800,000. The Virginia Convention of 1788 provided the first debate of the new Constitution, and some of Virginia’s most famous sons played pivotal roles. George Mason of Fairfax _wa8 a leading opponent of ratification, while James Madison and “Lighthorse Harry” Lee, father of Robert E. Lee, were outspoken in favor, of the document. Edmund Randolph, who opposed the Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention, changed his mind — reportedly because of the influence of George Washington — and backed its ratification at Virginia’s convention. Mr. Randolph went on to serve as the first Attorney General of the United States. The arguments of Patrick Henry, Mr. Baum Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatttr FLANKED BY JUDGE W. Shore Robertson and Clerk Diane Bruce, Doug Baumgardner offered some thoughts on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution. gardner added, “who we are told was not well-schooled in law but rather in oratory,” played a large part in Virginia’s ratification, as well as the adoption of the Bill of Rights by the first U. S. Congress. His arguments against the document alleged that it “would imperil the sovreignty of the states, the right to trial by jury, the freedom of the prqss, imperithmnan rights and the privileges of the peoplej’tej&thl&;i| Squinted toward monarchy’,” Mr. Baumgardher said. But, he added, it is proper to keep the framers in the proper perspective — remembering that “the document was drawn up by ordinary people,” whom, in the. words of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, “put oh knickersonelegataT Lee Bird agreed with Mr. Baumgardner’s observation about the importance of compromise in the adoption of the Constitution, which included agreements on the bi-cameral legislature and the three equal branches of government. “Compromise breeds mediocrity in art perhaps, but certainly not in government or the law,” he said. “I think,” Judge Robertson added, “that all of us join with a warm sense of emotion as we contemplate the greatness of the heritage we have received from those who came before us. “But also, we would be remiss if we did not note the continuing efforts of people within our society both now and in the time since the Constitution was written, as those efforts develop and lead to the ongoing evolution of our nation as a place where people can live in maximum freedom, in safety and in harmony with one an* other. “I think that those efforts, subsequent to the Constitution, in the confirmation of itB wisdom and its' great purpose for us, are perhaps as great a contribution as .tfcs4ostrument itself..., We need not fool ourselves that America is quite a different place today than it was, ancjjthat the Constitution has survived is a tribute to its con-'' ception and to those who have come after.” -j Judge Robertson paid tribute to the “thoughtful, well-meaning people” who serve in government at all levels, whose service is “critical to the on-going preserve BIRTHDAY, p. 20) Maiiagemeii t’ must replace ‘disposal’ of wastes By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer “Besides religion and politics, nothing is more controversial these days than trash,” Virginia Department of Waste Management Director Cynthia Bailey told the audience Monday night at the forum sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Most of the sparse crowd agreed with the state’s senior waste management official. Citizens from Jackson District, potential site of the county landfill currently under consideration by Ms. Bailey’s office, repeated concerns previously addressed to the county’s supervisors and planners. At a special meeting held on Sept. 14, the county amended its Comprehensive Plan to direct the establishment of a county-owned sanitary landfill, with the language referring to the 99-acre Stover tract east of Amissville as a “potential site.” The Board of Supervisors then voted to purchase the property, and the deal was closed last week. Nearby landowners, who have formed a coalition called the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District, have expressed concerns about pollution of the Rappahannock River, pollution of their wells, unreliability of present technology, suitability of the soil, inaccuracy in the geo-technical study and a host of other worrisome problems associated with the siting of a landfill. With them at the RLEP meeting was their consultant, Larry Silverman, who questioned Ms. Bailey about the permit process. “Once you have enough evidence to tell a county they can go ahead and buy the land for a potential site, how much do you care about whether the “How much do you care about whether the county has wasted money and the supervisors made to look foolish?” —Larry Silverman Environmental consultant “We care... but that’s not part of our decision-making. We base our decisions only on the technical information.” Cynthia Bailey Director, DWM county has wasted money and the supervisors made to look foolish?” Mr. Silverman, an environmental lawyer, was trying to determine how important the initial go-ahead was in the permit process. “Let’s put it this way,” said Ms. Bailey. “We care that the localities have spent money and we care about the supervisors’ reputations, but that’s not part of our decision-making. We base our decisions only on the technical information.” Ms. Bailey advised the Jackson District residents to send her department any information they wished to have included in the final permit decision. The public forum came after Ms. Bailey’s prepared speech. “No solution to our problem is pleasant,” she warned. “We live in a throw-away economy, and some of that is unlikely to change.” She added that Americans are well-disposed towards recycling but that market problems are preventing the rapid development of practical recycling alternatives. She stressed the use of “management” rather than “disposal” when (See BAILEY, p.19) Sperryville gears up for artists, Apple Fest The Third Annual Artists of the Blue Ridge Art Show will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 3 and 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the lawn of the Faith Mountain Company in the old-town section of Sperryville. The Artists of the Blue Ridge is a juried outdoor exhibition of the best fine art, quality crafts and entertainment of the region. Admission is free to all events at the show. The Artists of the Blue Ridge is produced by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC), the volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the arts in Rappahannock County. RAAC is in part funded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. This year the Artists of the Blue Ridge co-incides with Sperryville’s Apple Harvest Celebration creating a total townwide festival of art, music and food in the beautiful Blue Ridge Moun tains. The dates will also ensure a backdrop of glorious autumn foliage famous nationally for its spectacular colors. Sperryville is a haven for artists because of its simple unspoiled beauty and friendly atmosphere. Since its first days as a stagecoach stop on the routes from Alexandria and Fredericksburg to the Shenandoah Valley, Sperryville has been the commercial center of Rappahannock County. Because it is not a governmental center nor county seat, the town has escaped the gentrification common to small courthouse towns and it still retains elements from a varied and colorful past. It has a wide open atmosphere where everyone is accepted and can make their mark. Today the town is enjoying a resurgence as a center for artists, craftspeople and antiques, as well as Virginia’s best apples. Request for retreat meets approval, firing range denied By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A request by Ted and Renate Chapman for a special exception permit for a religious retreat on the property known as Greenfield, just outside Washington on Rt. 211, won a unanimous recommendation from the Planning Commission last Wednesday night. The Chapmans, who had faced stiff opposition against their previous request for the same type of facility to be located in the F. T. Valley off Rt. 231, found the going much easier this time around. With a number of restrictions placed on the application, which were agreed to before the public hearing, the members of the Planning Commission had no problems with the application and site plan. Enumerated by Zoning Administrator John McCarthy, the conditions include: • The permit applies only to the Chapmans. It would become invalid with the sale of the property. • Not more than 14 people (including Mr. and Mrs. Chapman) use the retreat at any one time. • Outdoor services be held only on weekends and certain specific holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. • All events are quiet, registering no louder than 60 decibels measured at the property line; and that no am plifiers or loud singing be included in the services. • No services be held within 100 feet of any property line. • Pine seedlings be planted along the rear property line to screen the area where services will be held. The area is to be marked on the site plan. • The property will be added to an existing agriculture/forestal district, ensuring it will remain in agricultural use until that district’s permit comes up for review. • No additional buildings will be constructed on the property. • Weekend retreat times are stipulated as beginning Friday evening and ending on Sunday afternoon. Oc casional retreats will also be allowed on religious holidays which fall on days other than weekends. • The proposed project meet all requirements of the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Health. Attorney Doug Baumgardner, representing the Chapmans, noted that one condition of the issuance of any special exception permit is that the use have no adverse impact on surrounding properties. “We have submitted and will abide by conditions — I will admit not all have direct reflection on the proposed use - which go beyond the usual call... (there is) virtually no way it could be argued that approval of the permit could adversely affect adjoining properties.” Mr. Chapman assured the planners that his plans will preserve “one of the oldest, unique properties ... one of the last of a dying breed in the county.” He said that the necessary renovations will improve the condition of the house, and will in no way change its exterior. Mr. Baumgardner added that the county’s Comprehensive Plan designates the area along Rt. 211 west of Washington as suitable for mixed use, “and, in fact, the area is a mix of such uses,” he said. Mr. Chapman said that he intends that the bulk of the 113-acre estate remain in agricultural use while he owns the property. He said that the people using the retreat would stay, for the most part, withjn the fences around the house. Parking, he said, would be well-screened by trees, natural terrain features and the existing outbuildings. In the areas where services might be held, Mr. Chapman said, the only improvements would be enough wooden benches to seat the dozen or so people attending the service. Phil Irwin spoke in favor of the application, telling the commissioners that “with the restrictions they voluntarily agreed to, this would be a proper adaptive use of the pronerty.” • There were no speakers in opposition to the application.

Stews of Record Drug trafficking plea nets 12 months in iail Calling drugs a “pernicious influence,” Judge W. Shore Robertson sentenced Ronald Lee Nicholson of Washington to 12 months in the Rappahannock County jail on a charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Nicholson was arrested last December at his home on the Fodderstack Road. State Police troopers and special agents, acting on information received from a man arrested on a drug charge in Richmond, obtained a warrant to search his residence and arrested him when the search turned up approximately six ounces of cocaine and a small amount of marijuana. According to the affidavit filed in support of the warrant, George Massie was arrested by special agents of the Richmond Police Department with approximately four ounces of cocaine in his possession. Massie and two other individuals detained with him told the investigators that he had obtained the cocaine from Nicholson. On the basis of Massie’s testimony, Magistrate Francis Eldred authorized the search warrant, which resulted in the seizure of the cocaine. A chemical analysis determined that the cocaine was approximately 92 percent pure according to the laboratory report. Nicholson’s plea agreement stipulates that a possible 40-year prison term be suspended, with 12 months to be served in the Rappahannock County jail. He will be on supervised probation for four years following his release, with drug screening and counseling to be determined by his probation officer. A charge of possession of marijuana was dropped. Judge Robertson declined to impose a fine, which Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke requested, explaining that he preferred to use “jail and probation as standard means to rehabilitate people . . . (and) meet their debt to society.” In addition, the agreement requires Nicholson to cooperate with the Commonwealth’s Attorney “in certain other criminal investigations” including giving testimony before grand juries “that are investigating relevant matters.” Recently, Mr. Luke confirmed that a multi-jurisdictional grand jury empanelled in Henrico County is in vestigating drug trafficking in Rappahannock and a number of other counties. A Warrenton dentist, Dr. Denis A. Peper, was indicted by that grand jury last month on two felony charges of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Dr. Peper stated that he is innocent of both charges. No date has been set for his trial. Mr. Luke refused to comment on whether the grand jury investigation and the Nicholson case are related in any way. Henrico County Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney John R. Alderman, who is serving as special counsel to the grand jury, said that more than 100 indictments have been handed down by the grand jury since it began its investigation last September. Judge Robertson also ordered that imposition of the jail sentence be delayed until the conclusion of Nicholson’s cooperation, or from six months after sentencing, whichever comes first. At that time, “the Commonwealth may make further consideration” of the jail sentence. Mr. Luke said he felt the agreement was “lenient. . . considering the seriousness of the offense.” He told Judge Robertson that he recommended its acceptance only because of the stipulation of Nicholson's cooperation. Nicholson’s lawyer, Christopher Hopkins, told Judge Robertson that “as in many agreements, neither side gets what it wants. Although Mr. Luke describes it as lenient,’ Ron Nicholson would prefer he were somewhere else today.” He added that Nicholson has not used drugs since his arrest, and that the presentence report speaks of his good background. “It’s quite obvious he has fallen far.” After Nicholson said that he had no statement to make, Judge Robertson commented on this “very difficult and tragic day in your life. “I wish,” Judge Robertson added, “that you could sit here over the years and see the lives of people such as yourself and the lives of young people which have been completely destroyed by substance abuse ... I hope that this tragic ext perience will aid you in rehabilitating you.” ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE IN THE IMPORTANT NOV. 3f 1987, ELECTION? ARE YOU ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER?

Major crimes down in July State Police reported that the Uniform Crime Reports reflect a decrease of 8.6 percent in ail seven Index Crimes for the month of July.; That figure represents the greatest decrease so fur this year. Each individual offense in the Crime Index experienced a decrease, with murder having the greatest decrease in 44.9 percent. There were 27 murder/non-negligent manslaughter offenses reported in the month of July compared to 49 in the same period last year. Aggravated assault had the second highest decrease with a 14.6 percent slowdown. The violent crimes of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault decreased an average of 15 percent, while the property crimes of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft decreased eight percent. Decreases were reported in rape, down 14.3 percent; robberty, down 13.1 percent; burglary, down 3.5 percent; larceny, down 9.7 percent, and motor vehicle theft, down 4.1 percent. There are many factors which will affect the type and volume of crime that occurs in a given area. The most important and vital influences on crime are economic status, density and size of community, composition of population, effective strength of police force, and climate. Index crimes are those crimes considered to represent the most local crime problem and the most serious by nature of motive or by the volume in which they occur. In the Statewide Uniform Crime Reporting Program, contributing local law enfocement agencies are responsible for compiling their own crime reports and submitting them to the State Police UCR section. State Police compile the statistics, provide feedback to participating agencies and forward the data on a monthly and annual basis to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in national crime reports. 11 killed over holiday weekend Col. R. L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, announced recently that current crash reports indicate 11 persons lost their lives on Virginia highways during the Labor Day holiday weekend, compared to 24 for a similar period last year. “At least two people were killed this year in alcohol-related crashes,” said Colonel Suthard, "another four were killed in crashes involving reckless driving, and at least two involving speeding. The fatalities included 10 drivers or passengers in motor vehicles and one pedestrian. Of the ten in motor vehicles, only three were known to have been using their seat belts. “Although fatalities over the Labor Day holiday weekend were less than one-half of those experienced last year, they still represent a significant loss to the Commonwealth and are a grim reminder of the hazards involved in the operation of a motor vehicle.” To date, 666 persons have been killed on Virginia’s highways compared to 734 at this time last year. For the holiday period extending from 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4 through midnight Monday, Sept. 7, troopers patrolled 149,564 miles, assisted 2,726 stranded or otherwise distressed motorists and arrested or issued summonses to 5,031 motorists. Of the total arrests and summonses, 2,977 were for speeding, 723 for reckless driving, 116 for driving drunk and 1,195 for other hazardous violations. There were a total of 192 crashes reported on Virginia’s interstate highways, including one fatal crash. The accident occured at 10:10 p.m., Saturday on Interstate 64 in Newport News, resulting in one fatality. “While it is extremely difficult to determine specifically why there are less crashes and fatilities one year than the next, or one holiday period compared to another, the inclement weather experienced over this Labor Day holiday weekend resulted in less vehicular traffic,” said Col.Suthard. “Motorists also tend to drive more defensively during inclement weather and to reduce their speed. Still, past experience and statistics indicate that speed, either excessive or too fast for conditions, is a contributing factor in approximately 40 percent of all crashes.” Auto repair law offers safeguards Modem automobiles are technological marvels. Computerized, radial-belted and fuel-iryected, they bear little resemblance to the vehicles we drove even a decade or two ago. Today’s cars are better, but they also are more bewildering. Advances in electronics, ftiel delivery systems, and pollution controls threaten to make the shade-tree mer chanic an endangered species. Accordingly, most of us become apprehensive when it comes time to take our cars to a local garage or dealership for repairs. We have no idea what might be wrong, and even less of an idea how much it might cost to fix it.

Trinity prepares for flower sale, house tour ine imra weekend in October will soon be here and with it a nip in the air and a brightening of the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the greens of summer to the orange, red and brown colors of fall. The local highlight of this period will be the 31st annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale to be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18, in historic Washington. The event is sponsored by the Women of Bromfield Parish, Trinity Episcopal Church. Since spring the ladies have planted, potted, collected, cut and dried and otherwise preserved flowers, shrubs, grasses, tree greens and even some weeds to be made into hundreds of arrangements from teacup to centerpiece size to be offered for sale at the Trinity Church Parish Hall that weekend. This popular event has drawn visitors from up and down the Eastern Seaboard and from the Mid-West. The weekend’s other feature is a tour of three Rappahannock County homes, chosen each year for their historic or architectural interest. This year they range from the early 19th century to contemporary. Block tickets at $6 for all three houses plus tea will be available at the Parish Hall Tour Headquarters or at individual houses; single house visits are $2.50. Houses will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The first of the tour houses is located in the heart of Washington between Main and Gay Streets approximately 200 yards south of Trinity Church. This is the Summer Kitchen, built in the early 19th century by Judge Edward Jones as a dependency of the home he built, now known as Clopton House. The Summer Kitchen consists of the kitchen building, a dairy and brick smoke house/root cellar all combined into a single residence in 1974 by Washington cabinetmaker Peter Kramer and his wife Joyce. This is a lovely example of restoration and preservation of the old with tasteful addition to meet modern living requirements. Moving north about 5*/2 miles on Rt. 628, three miles west of Flint Hill off Rt. 629, is Mere House, the contemporary home of Linda and Bill Dietel. This modem passive solar three-story split level situated at the foot of The Peak is the center of r Correction In last week’s story about the September meeting of the Washington Town Council, it was incorrectly reported that the category of $1,000 allocated in the budget to the Water Department was to be spent to establish an office for the department’s superintendent.

Day realtor ek-tet LOAN CAP PROTECTION If you plan to finance a home with an adjustable rate mortgage (one that goes up and down with the interest rate at periodic intervals) make sure you focus on the presence or absence of interest-rate ‘ ‘caps”. Caps are ‘‘security blanket” ceilings. They represent a guarantee from the lender that you will not be required to pay more than an agreedupon maximum rate no matter how high interest rates may skyrocket. The two most common rate caps are life-of-the-loan and annual. Lifeof-the-loan caps shield you against total rate increases beyond, say four to five percentage points through the entire term of the loan. Annual caps are usually in the 1 to 2 percent range, offering protection against sudden, sharp run-ups. Remember that these consumer features are optional and valuable. If you are offered an adjustable loan rate without a cap, you should be getting a price break to compensate you for the additional risk.

THOUGH THE DRIED FLOWER SALE is still nearly a month away, volunteers at Trinity Church are busy arranging the summer’s bounty of dried flowers into hundreds of beautiful displays. At the table, clockwise from top, the Rev. Jennings Hobson III, Susan Parrish and her sons, Ned and Sam, Aileen Barnes and Merrill Strange. In the background, hundreds of dried flowers of seemingly endless variety are carefully hung on coathangers, awaiting the arrangers. The flower sale will be held Oct. 17 and 18. the 200-acre working Polypay sheep farm Over Jordan. The house, I8V2 feet wide and 100 feet long on the main floor, is built into a hillside overlooking a pond (or mere) and the valley. It features a Greek temple entry which is repeated at the end of the house above the pond. Open, bright, uncluttered living space is the prime feature of this lovely modern home. At practically the other end of the county near Laurel Mills is Laurel Hill, approximately 5Vi> miles south of Ben Venue on Rt. 729 and just off Rt. 618. This gracious farm home, built on the site of the home of Major John Roberts of the Revolutionary War, is the residence of Mary Frances and C. William Fannon. Laurel Hill is also a working farm, in this case a 1,200-acre Tarantaise cattle operation. The present house evolved from a temporary four-room structure built here in the 1930s, the original Roberts house having burned to the ground in 1915. When the property passed to the Fannons in 1965 they completely remodeled the structure, incorporating parts of several old homes and buildings in the county, Culpeper and Alexandria. Laurel Hill is also the tea house for the tour.

Top horse is lop draw at CCLC’s auction Say “Marriott” and what springs to mind for most folks is hotels and restaurants. But say “Marriott” in Piedmont Virginia’s hunt country and increasingly the word association is “horse.” Already this year, the Marriott Ranch near Hume has sold more than 300 head: quarter horses imported from the American West, then checked for soundness, checked for temperament and checked for schooling before they’re offered for sale with a no-loop-hole guarantee. These handsome animals will be the top draw at the Child Care and Learning Center’s annual auction to be held Saturday, Oct. 3. The horses will be there in spirit only. Manager Reist Mummau hasn’t provided a specific animal but rather gift certificates for $2,500 to be used at the ranch’s own auction the following Saturday. The certificates can buy a whole or go towards a part - the prices range from $1,000 to $6,000. It can take home a hunter prospect, a polo potential, a roping horse, a reining horse or a gentle, well mannered pleasure mount. But whatever it’s used for, the Marriott Ranch guarantee stands. “After the auction, we don’t even deposit the checks for a week. You can return a horse in that time and there are no questions asked,” said Mr. Mummau, a transplanted Pennsylvanian who grew up on the back of a quarter horse on a cattle ranch in North Dakota. His guarantee takes the fear out of horse buying. If the horse bucks, bring it back. If the horse limps, bring it back. If the horse bites, bring it back. If you and the horse just plain don't get along, bring it back. “I want to go as far as I can to make sure the new owners of a horse bought here are completely happy,” Mr. Mummau explained. Mr. Mummau, Barbara Sullivan, who trains the hunter prospects and schools the English pleasure horses, and the ranch hands who woric the Western riding ponies are ready to guide a buyer to a suitable horse. “Sometimes folks want a horse that suits their fancy rather than , .. their needs. If >ye can tiUfc fo the person, watch them ride, :fcr ft , little bit, we can prqbpbly deter mine what they need better than they can do it themselves,” Mr. Mummausaid. A Marriott Ranch horse is the top prize and will go “live” under the gavel, but a long list of top quality items will be offered in CCLC’s “silent” auction: riding apparel and other “horsey” items that fit this year’s hunt country theme antiques, objets d’art, jewelry, theater tickets to Folger Shakespeare, Round About, Ford Theater and other Capital attractions, dinner at The Inn at Little Washington and a family trip to Colonial Williamsburg. In addition, the “little red truck,” a 1987 Ford Ranger S from Rick Hunt Ford in Warrenton, will be given away The Center on Route 211 just west of the town of Washington will open at 4 p.m. on Saturday for a preview of the items in the silent auction. Folks can browse while they nibble on ham biscuits, sip Rappahannock cider or wine from Oasis Vineyards and listen to music by Bob Treanor, Lyt Wood and Dan Lewis, a trio on hammered dulcimer and guitars who play lively Appalachian airs and folk tunes that invite singing along. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable, appropriate to the day care center. The Child Care and Learning Center offers day care and enrichment programs of rare quality for an urban area; for a rural farming community they are miraculous. The non-profit CCLC began as Sursum Corda more than a decade ago in the basement of the old Washington post office. In Latin, Sursum Corda means “lift up your heart,” and that’s exactly what CCLC does for working parents searching for a safe, loving and stimulating environment for their children. Cognizant of the lower income levels in rural areas such as Rappahannock County, the Center’s board of directors has chosen to keep day care rates low and affordable, but the decision has left a deficit which must be met through fund raising efforts. Fees provide only half of the Center’s operating expenses. The other half, as well as the capital that built the Center’s new home, comes from grants and projects such as the annual auction. ■ , ; »-- fl SCHEWELS F Big 6-Hour Sale I » Thursday, September 24 3-9 p.m. 1/4 tO 1/2 Off Low down payments I Low Monthly payments P • 135 South Main Street i SCHEWEL Schewels Downtown Culpeper FURNITURE COMPANY 825-1059

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24,1987 K Editorials One vote DOES count Saturday, Oct. 3 is the last day for Rappahannock residents to register to vote in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Although the county registrar’s office reports that registrations are up, there are still many county residents who are eligible to vote who are not registered. The following was sent to Ann Landers by an election judge in Missouri who had copied it from his judge’s manual. For those who complain that “Registering is a waste of time - my one vote won’t make a bit of difference,” we offer this compilation: In 1645, one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England. In 1649, one vote caused Charles I of England to be executed. In 1776, one vote gave America the English language - instead of German. In 1845, one vote brought Texas into the Union. In 1868, one vote saved President Andrew Jackson from impeachment. In 1876, one vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency of the United States. In 1923, one vote gave Adolph Hitler leadership of the Nazi party. In 1941, one vote saved the Selective Service system from abolition - just weeks before Pearl Harbor. The Commonwealth of Virginia has eliminated the requirement that prospective voters be residents of the state for a period of six months.

In addition, registration will be held at several other sites throughout the county in the evenings and on Saturdays. Burke’s Store, Woodville: Friday, Sept. 26,5 to 7 p.m. Castleton Fire Hall: Saturday, Sept. 26,9 a.m. to noon. F & M National Bank, Flint Hill: Friday, Oct. 2,5 to 7 p.m. Registrar’s Office, Washington: Saturday, Oct. 3,9 a.m. to noon. We urge that those county residents who have not yet added their names to the voter rolls do so before the deadline. Each vote does matter as much as the next. They all count, but only if you’re registered by Oct. 3. Manage vs. dispose Cynthia Bailey, director of Virginia’s Department of Waste Management, made a significant point during her remarks to RLEP Monday evening. She said that society must begin to think in terms of the management of garbage rather than the disposal of it. The concept goes well beyond a bureaucratic fondness for semantics. „ “Disposal” implies that one discards something, and then has no further thought about it: “to get rid of,” according to Webster's Dictionary. That’s what society has been doing with its garbage for years. Whether in the local landfill, or over the hill on many farms in rural communities, garbage has been dumped and forgotten. “Management,” on the other hand, implies a continued concern: “to have charge of; direct; administer” (Webster's again). Waste management means that household trash, sewage sludge, hazardous and radioactive byproducts are no longer forgotten when they leave the user’s hands. That seems to be a sensible evolution. No one likes to admit that they create waste. But we all do. And nobody else wants them. Or, if they are willing to dispose of them for us, it will cost us “a fortune,” in Ms. Bailey’s words. And, as time goes on, that cost — which is already becoming prohibitively expensive — is going nowhere but further out of sight. Sensible alternatives need to be found. Recycling, for example, is a good first step. Sure, it’s a pain: sorting the glass into colors, bundling up all the old newspapers, washing and crushing the tin cans, hauling the used oil to a collection center. But alternatives are so few that three states have recently enacted mandatory recycling laws. In other words, sort it or your garbage bags sit on your lawn. The new county landfill, wherever it’s finally located, would be an excellent place to put a recycling center. The counfiy might even make some money from the operation. We hope that the current concern over trash and its management doesn’t disappear when the landfill siting question is resolved. The trash won’t vanish, and neither will the problem of how to manage it with the least detriment f~Rappahannock Heritage* Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan IT’S A DOG’S LIFE, complete with beach umbrella, for Peter Kramer’s dog Tober.

Letters to the editor State lottery: Few winners, many losers To the editor I would like to commend the Rappahannock News for voicing its opposition to the proposed Virginia lottery. In spite of the arguments of r lottery proponents, there are few winners and many losers in the lottery “game.” Citizens of Virginia, especially poorer ones, will lose. The issue is More on Rl. 211 1U UIC CU11U1 . f Sopje weeks ago, mywife;hadv a letter printed in the fioppahannock News in which she protested the planned vridening to four lanes of Rt. 211 between the towns of Washington and Sperryville. To our very great surprise, the letter elicited zero response, either for the highway or against it. This public apathy might be reason enough to let the project die. If no one really cares, why waste millions of dollars which could be put to better use? Why should a mighty interstate-quality thoroughfare have been proposed to connect Warrenton and points beyond with so inconsequential a hamlet as Sperryville? Could there be a little something more to this scheme? With hundreds of acres to be condemned and millions of dollars to be spent, with priceless scenery to be destroyed and the possible loss of some significant architecture, isn’t public apathy jusl wimi me planners wouia < hop^. i«oraplaint6 are < ■ heard now, with only six miles of roadway in the works, but can ■ you imagine the hue and cry if it were publicly announced that this road-widening shenanigan is to be continued through the town of Sperryville and down Route 231 to connect with the four lanes of Route 29 at Madison? An argument for this final link could be rather persuasive, certainly more so than any argument for a Warrenton-Sperryville Expressway. And yet, the Warrenton-Sperryville Expressway has been approved and is expected to be completed. The question is: Do YOU (and you and you and you) want all these new super highways slicing through this county? Or would you rather retain the relatively unspoilt quality for which Rappahannock has become the apple of many in eye? JOHN CADWALADER JR. Wood ville not simply a question of choice. In other states, the most frequent lottery players are persons least able to make well-informed choices. Federal, state, and local studies consistently state that lotteries are a regressive form of taxation which attract poor and minorities who can least afford to pay. A woman from California recently wrote to “Dear Abby” complaining: ■ ' “I have a big problem With my ■ husband1. He’s constantly buying lottery tickets. We are always broke . . . My husband spends the welfare money to buy lottery tickets. So far he’s bought over $1000 in tickets and we have won only $2. Please help me.” The economy of Rappahannock County will lose. Money spent on lottery tickets will not be spent on local taxable goods and services. This type of spending will hurt local businesses as well as state sales tax revenue. The state government of Virginia will lose. Although some additional revenue will be generated through the lottery, even lottery proponents acknowledge the fact that the lottery won’t reduce the taxes Virginians pay to finance government. Also, since state-operated gambling does contribute to the problem of compulsive gambling, related social costs will increase. Some gambling States have allocated a portion of their gambling revenues to establish treatment programs for their citi-' zens who have become compulsive gamblers. Law enforcement costs will rise, since “legal gambling creates new gamblers who switch over to illegal gambling,” says Sean McWeeney, chief of the Organized Crime Section of the Criminal Investigation Division of the FBI. It is true that some of our historic Virginia landmarks were built on lottery money in Colonial days before we had income taxes. However, by 1894 widespread crime and corruption forced the closing of all state-operated lotteries. Our modern lottery experience is no better. Thomas Dewey, former governor of New York, says, “The entire history of legalized gambling in this country and abroad shows that it has brought nothing but poverty, crime and corruption, demoralization of moral and ethical standards.” The only winner in the lottery is the out-of-state company which operates the “games” at the expense of state revenue. Virginians do have a choice. Do we want to continue our long tradition of prosperity, sound government, and fiscal stability, or do we want to lower our dignity and blindly follow in the frail footsteps of our neighbors to the North? Join with me in voting “NO” on Nov. 3. LARRY HOVIS, Pastor Washington Baptist Church Who represents us? To the editor: I read with interest, in the Sept. 19 edition of the Culpeper StarExponent, that Charles Ziff, ownei of Commonwealth Park in Culpepei County, wants to sell his horse center. Mr. Ziff has undoubtedly done well with Commonwealth Park; however, it should be noted that his job has been made much more difficult because of the General Assembly’s decision, in 1985, to establish a separate, state-sponsored horse center in the Lexington area. Mr. Ziff, a skilled businessman, wants the best possible price for his business, and is not, therefore, in spite of his numer ous past objections, going to itemize the difficulties he has encountered as a result of this decision. I think it interesting that the state’s decision to compete with one of Central Virginia’s most desirable businesses, over the opposition of Culpeper’s Board of Supervisors, was made at the urging of the man who is charged with representing us in the State Senate — Kevin Miller. Mr. Miller does not represent Lexington. He is supposed to represent us. Had Mr. Miller merely voted for the legislation locating the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, some of us might be inclined to forgive his inattention to our interests on the ground that he hasn’t been responsive to the needs of his constituents. This, after all, is a complaint frequently heard. We might conclude that Mr. Miller will change his ways if given a second chance. Mr. Miller, however, didn’t just suport the Virginia Equine Center bill; he was its PATRON. This, in turn, raises several fundamental questions: 1. Who does Kevin Miller represent? 2. Is he so out of touch with his constituents that he actively lobbies for legislation that takes jobs, tax revenues, tourism and business income outside his district? 3. Is he a conservative who believes that business is best left to free enterprise, or does he believe that only government can promote this state’s horse industry? 4. Does he believe in promoting agriculture arid businesses complementing agriculture, or is he intent on accelerating the demise of farming in this region? All of these are questions that should be considered by the voters of the 26th Senate District on Election Day, Nov. 3. I intend to answer these questins by casting my vote for Bill Chase for State Senate and, in doing so, I hope that we will, at long last, have the benefit of some real leadership for the heartland of Virginia. DOUGLAS BAUMGARDNER Washington Finding common ground in the nuclear age By SENATOR JOHN WARNER itaiUMhaiuiock Newt Contributing Writer Last week, the United States and the Soviet Union took an historic step toward making the world a safer place in this frightening nudearage. When Secretary of State Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze signed an Executive Agreement at a White House ceremony to create “nuclear risk reduction centers” (to be located in Washington and Moscow), our two nations formalized and expanded their efforts to reduce the risks of unintentional military confrontation between the superpowers by their own military forces, as well as by forces outside their control. Such conflicts could arise from accidents, miscalculations, theft (actual or alleged) of a nuclear weapon by a third party, which might include a terrorist group. What is a “nuclear risk reduction center”? First, the U.S. and Soviet Union already have in place a “hot line” system of communication, as well as other means to exchange information, including the customary diplomatic and military liaisons. Those traditional procedures will continue. In general, they have effectively dealt with the crises to date. With the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and, regrettably, the spread of knowledge of how to make even crude devices, the two superpowers have recognized that they must assume more responsibility for promptly analyzing, understanding and exercising control over all situations involving these weapons. The establishment of these centers is another important step forward, one designed not just to manage or limit a crisis but to try to prevent an unintentional confrontation from ever starting. It is a cruel fact of life that, despite sophisticated precautionary measures, accidents happen, both in the civilian sector - the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion - and the professional military - the tragic, mistaken attack on the USS Stark. Further, there is an ever-growing number of terrorist and lawlessminded individuals, groups and factions in today’s world that threaten the safety of all people. Out of these various disenchanted groups could grow a plot to threaten use of a nuclear weapon in an effort to provoke an unintentional confrontation between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. The nuclear risk reduction centers will be full-time monitoring facilities equipped with the most modem communications gear and staffed to keep continuous watch on events which might possibly lead to nuclear incidents. In such situations, the first requirement is instant communication between the superpowers with a free and full exchange and disclosure of the facts that each side possesses. “Real time” information is needed and a trained team of experts to pre(See WARNER, p. 17)

Fiber becomes art in crafters’ hands By h. MARTIN and TONI WHITE Rappahannock New* Contributing Writers The fiber art show on exhibit at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington is diverse and exciting. In many pieces, raw fibers of the earth are twisted, turned, woven dyed and painted to create magical, whimsical and sometimes archetypal forms. Many of the works seem ceremonial, calling on the forces of nature and the world of pure energy. Two woven pieces in the front room created by Janet Kerig are visually interesting juxtapositions of familiar images. “Mamaloosa Papaloosa” is breathtaking - a sort of 3D picture of a papoose made from vines and hemp. Ms. Kerig takes the roughly textured materials and gives them pure grace. “Yin Yang” is a beautiful form using less vines and reed and more space. Nina Moore’s small, framed, handmade paper “Morning Mist” is delicately eloquent (look for it around the left comer in the front room). Dianne Waldron’s leather and wood “Seventh Moon” soars through the gallery’s middle room. The many mixed media pieces throughout the show by Jeanne Drevas reflect this artist’s multi-faceted talent. Some of her recent vessels seem to be a study of one particular form. Other pieces, some of which are collaborations, are uniquely special. Ms. Drevas’ black vessel with the brightly colored handmade paper by Nina Moore is a delight. And her large, framed “Soundings” over the mantle in the front room seems intensely personal. In a group exhibition that was arranged largely with care and balance, we wondered why Joel Hoyer’s works were on display separately in a comer of the back room. We both found it a little disturbing. Perhaps the show would have felt more completely balanced if his provacative works were spread throughout the three rooms of the gallery, as was done with the works of the other artists. All in all, the fiber show is something to see. It it on display through Sunday, Sept. 27. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Orange Street Fest Sept. 26 The 13th Annual Orange Street Festival, “Virginia’s Biggest Block Party” according to organizers, will take place on Saturday, Sept. 26 in downtown Orange from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The street festival is sponsored by the Orange County Chamber of Commerce. Last year’s festival was the most successful ever, as downtown Orange (pop: 3,000) was inundated with 15,000 visitors. This year’s festival will feature more than 100 exhibitors, artisans and craftsmen from throughout the Eastern U.S., local merchants and area businesses. Items for sale and display will range from crafts, paintings, ceramics, dolls, clothing, quilts, gold leaves and jewelry to pianos, wood products, books, plants, fresh fruits and vegetables, and homemade foods. At three locations, entertainment will be provided throughout the day. The crowds can dance and sing to blues, gospel, bluegrass, country and contemporary rock singers and groups. Five performances by three area clogging groups, story tellers, dancers and much more will be featured. A hot air balloon also is scheduled to appear.

"■ 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 28,1967, edition The Amissville Ruritan Club held its monthly meeting recently at the Amissville Volunteer Fire Hall. The guest speaker was A. T.

Douglas Rosen recently announced that Warren Memorial Hospital has purchased and installed new state-ofthe-art cardiac monitoring equipment for the hospital’s Intensive Care/Cardiac Care Unit. Additionally, new monitoring equipment foi the hospital’s Progressive Care Unit, which allows the continuous monitoring of eight beds, as well as telemetry monitoring equipment foi the Emergency Department, was purchased and installed. The new equipment is very sophisticated and versatile, is the most recent state-of-the-art equipment available for cardiac monitoring hospital systems. The monitoring equipment in the ICU/CCU is composed of three pieces of equipment consisting of a bedside monitor, a central monitor, and a recorder. The monitoring system blends the best of technological design with reliability and easy use by the nursing personnel and physicians. The monitoring equipment in the ICU/CCU has the capacity to monitor and record blood pressure, temperature and cardiac output measurement. It also has the capability of monitoring the respiratory function of the patient. The new monitoring equipment for the Progressive Care Unit allows beds outside the ICU/CCU to be monitored by nursing personnel in the Intensive Care Unit. When recovering patients leave the ICU/CCU, they can be moved into a progressive care bed with capability of being monitored during their stay in this unit. The telemetry function allows the patient to be monitored during movement for any abnormal heart rate events and is able to record this vital information for the physician and nursing personnel to review. The evaluation leading to the purchase of the equipment was accomplished by members of the Nursing Department as well as physicians on the Medical Staff ol the hospital. After a thorough review of the equipment available, a final decision was made and the equipment was purchased for installation in order to ensure the highest quality of care is rendered to patients who utilize the Intensive Care/Cardiac Care Unit of Warren Memorial Hospital.

‘How-to’ seminar on B & Bs The Conyers House on Rt. 707 near Slate Mills in southern Rappahannock County will hold a half-day workshop for prospective innkeepers on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. “until the last question is answered,” according to Sandra' Cartwright-Brown, the innkeeper and host for the popular seminar. Luncheon and a behind-thescenes tour are included in the $45 tuition. Mrs. Cartwright-Brown said that the workshops are held on a “demand basis — whenever the waiting list is long enough, or in this case, when two prospective innkeepers from Florida are in the area looking for property and only have two days - we schedule another workshop. Last year, our seven workshops resulted in 10 new bed and breakfasts.” r Publicity, advertising, public relations, appliances, finances, health regulations, printing, taxes, staffing, furnishings and house specialties are some of the many topics covered in the course. Students are encouraged to bring a tape recorder since there is far too much information to process at one time, Mrs. Cartwright-Brown said. "There was no one to turn to or ask questions of when we first opened in 1981,” she added, explaining the origin of the seminars. “We were pioneers in Virginia in the bed and breakfast movement and state and county regulations weren’t designed to cope with our needs or understand our purpose.” The guests at Conyers House convinced Mrs. Cartwright-Brown that a workshop was needed by asking the same questions over and over. She said that the questions revealed that many of her guests shared the fantasy of owning their own bed and breakfast. “If you ever entertained such a fantasy, you'll find the tell-all approach very informative,” Mrs. Cartwright-Brown said. Conyers House was the first of a dozen bed and breakfasts now operating in Rappahannock County. According to the definition of a 1984 ordinance enforced by the Virginia Department of Health, a bed and breakfast must have six or fewer guest rooms. Dinners may be served, if the innkeepers desire, to 12 or fewer people from a homestandard kitchen. A bed and breakfast having more than six rooms (such as Conyers House) must have a commercial kitchen and may serve meals to the public in addition to its overnight guests. The standard for a bed and breakfast in Rappahannock County, as defined by the Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahannock County, is “a home with a resident owner offering lodging, refreshments on arrival and a continental or full breakfast.” The serving of additional meals is optional and differs with each lodging. Each of the establishments reflects the tastes of the host and hostess and vary from one another, while still offering gracious hospitality, Mrs. Cartwright-Brown said. For information or reservations for Saturday’s seminar, call Conyers House, (703) 987-8025. Jtawwlwmujtfe jjetotf gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year. Cali 675-3349 to give one.

Good luck! In last year’s fourth annual Woolly Bear Contest, the entries started arriving early in October as soon as the furry ones started putting in an appearance in this area. Judging of the contestants was an even more difficult task than in previous years but talent finally prevailed and several entries caught the eyes of the judges. The woolly one selected the Cutest and Cuddliest, “the fairest of the fair,” and crowned with the name of Alma, was entered by Hilda Dunlap of Walnut Towers in Hagerstown, Md. The runner-up in this category was entered by Kathleen Yommer of Boonsboro, Md. Kathleen’s husband John was the runnerup in last year’s contest. In the second category of the Biggest and Woolliest (which we labeled Hairy Hager), the honor went to the entry submitted by Joey Young of Keedysville, Md., with the runner-up entered by Arthur Kiefer of Hagerstown. Each winner received an award of $100 for the entry and the runners-up each received six copies of the Almanack to share with their friends. We hope that this year you are the one to find the woolly bear that will catch the judges’ eyes and thus have an extra $100 of spending money for the upcoming Christmas season. So, keep your eyes peeled for the champion.

Change is a difficult process By JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Change. How often do we as adults try to change something about ourselves? Change our eating habits, quit smoking, start an exercise program, quit cursing or start going to church? How often are most of us successful in reaching those goals? What happens to prevent us, in most cases, from attaining our objective? I often hear parents telling their children that they’d better shape up and change their attitude, or behavior, or manners, or something. Yet, how does this expected change come about? Just how is it supposed to happen in our children? Knowing how hard it is for us, as mature adults, to change certain behaviors of our own, is it reasonable for us to expect children to change merely as a result of parents telling them that they must do so? Or by the parents threatening them with punishment if they don’t accomplish the change? Once patterns get established Garden Club pays tribute to mums By MARIAN WHITE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Garden Club ladies met last week under the stately trees of Oak Ledge for an all-out tribute to the versatile chrysanthemum.

Marjorie Exton was assisted by co-hostesses Mary Marocchi and Harriet Stokes. Members exhibited arrangements of red, white and blue in honor of the Constitution. Florence Nordone received the blue ribbon, Frances Russell red, Christine Johnston yellow, Jane Peterson and Miriam Reeve honorable mention. In the horticultural division Mary Marocchi received a blue ribbon for her spoon mum, Ellie Kreamer red for semi-double mum, Helen Brown yellow for double standard spray, Mary Stuart Bain red and yellow ribbons for standard sprays, and Marian White blue for acceptable spray. Next month’s meeting will be a trip to the Virginia Art Museum in Richmond for a special flower show.

This fact of human behavior is every bit as true < for children as it is for adults. Change in the behavior of children requires work by parents in guiding them in the right direction. After loving and caring, the most important ingredient in helping to nurture healthy change is consistency. In fact, many parents already know what they need to do — but something in their own personality holds them back from putting it into place or doing what is necessary consistently. In helping our young people make necessary, constructive changes, it may be helpful to remember how well we do with ourselves. It is often hard, regardless of the age of the person involved. Change takes motivation, time and consistency - combined of course with love and caring. It may be helpful to remember this, both with ourselves and with our youngsters.

Not any more! This year alone almost 3/4 of a million people will pre-arrange their funerals. By the year 2000, the National Funeral Directors Association estimates that over two million families per year will make pre-arrangements. Why? Well, it makes good financial sense...and you have the peace of mind knowing that you have taken good care of things - even after you are gone. You are able to make funeral arrangements logically and wisely now rather than leaving that burden to your loved ones then. The arrangements will be more meaningful and helpful to your family because they will know exactly what you wanted. Then by pre-financing your arrangements, you will insure that the funds will be there when needed. The best time to>plan your funeral arrangements is now, when you don’t have to. There are over 30 major decisions which have to be made when someone dies. The only questions are: Who makes them and when are they made? These decisions can be made logically and unemotionally together now.. .or they can be made on the worst day of your (or your spouse’s) life, the decision is yours.

Sweet potatoes otter complete nutrition By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extcmion Agent Sweet potatoes are one of the most complete foods when one considers the nutritional value offered. A medium sweet potato provides almost twice the vitamin A, nearly a third of the vitamin C, and lesser amounts of vitamins B6, thiamine, iron, potassium and fiber of the daily recommended allowances. A medium sweet potato has approximately 161 calories. The terms yams and sweet potatoes have been used interchangeably in cookbooks, advertising, and grocery stores for generations. Horti culturally speaking there is a difference between sweet potatoes and yams but for cooking and eating purposes they may used interchangeably. Select sweet potatoes that are clean, smooth and have well-shaped roots that are bright, dry and fresh in appearance. Remember, sweet potatoes are extremely perishable if mishandled or exposed to temperatures below 50 to 65 degrees F. (never refrigerate sweet potatoes until after cooking). They bruise easily, leading to discoloration of the root and can cause rotting. Cooking sweet potatoes in their jackets (skins) protects flavor, vitamin C and natural sugar. Creamy mashed sweet potatoes add a flavorful touch to ham or roast pork. Milk or fruit juices may be added to enhance the flavor and provide a better texture. When one thinks of french fries, white potatoes come to mind. For a change of taste, try french frying sweet potatoes. This is how: BoU sweet potatoes for 10 minutes; peel and cut into french fry strips. Fry in deep fat at 375 degrees for 3 minutes or until fork tender and golden brown. Drain well on paper towels and sprinkle with mix ture of 1 T. sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. salt. Serve immediately. Because sweet potatoes are such a versatile food, the mind can run wild with new ways to use them. The Cheesy Sweet Potato-Apple Casserole combines the versatile sweet potato with the “All-American Favorite,” the apple. Cheesy Sweet Potato-Apple Casserole 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine 3 T. chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped parsley ( 1/2 tsp. salt Dash each of pepper and thyme 6 sweet potatoes, pared and sliced 1/4-inch thick 3 red-skinned apples, cored and cut into thin wedges lVz cups shredded Cheddar cheese Combine butter, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and thyme. In a shallow 2-quart casserole arrange in layers potato slices and apple wedges; drizzle butter mixture over all. Cover and bake at 350 degrees 60 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle cheese on top; bake, covered an additional 10 minutes. Who would think of combining gingerbread and sweet potatoes? Here it is! EXTRA LOW FOOD LION PRICES!

The 44th observance of the week is sponsored by the National Safety Council, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the American Farm Bureau Federation. “The proclamation points out the need for everyone connected with agriculture to continue efforts to reduce the number and severity of accidental injuries and work-related illnesses so very costly to farming families and to our nation,” said Linda P. Henry, Executive Director of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Agriculture remains among the nation’s most hazardous nugor industries with an accidental death rate of 52 per 100,000 workers in 1986, a slight increase from 1985. According to the National Safety Council, agricultural work accidents resulted in about 1,700 deaths and 170,000 disabling injuries last year. Many farm and ranch residents also were seriously injured or killed in home, recreation and roadway ac cidents. In addition, an undetermined number of farmers and farm workers were victims of agricultural work-related illnesses known to cause disability and sometimes premature death. This year’s theme for Farm Safety Week, “Farm Safety Makes Good $en$e,” stresses the significant financial advantages of investing time and effort in preventing injury and illness on the farm, especially during the times of economic stress. President Reagan urged all those who live and work on farms or ranches to take necessary precautions to protect their safety and health, both on the job and off, both at home and on the roads. He also encouraged everyone involved with agriculture to strengthen their safety and health efforts by example and by educational programs. “I encourage all Americans to participate in appropriate events and activities in observance of National Farm Safety Week and to note the vast contributions Americans in agriculture make to our nation,” President Reagan said.

Guest Invitational helps GOP candidates When Delegate Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. (R-Warren) teed off earlier this month at the Shenandoah golf course outside Front Royal, more than 60 other men and women followed suit to begin not only a round of golf, but to officially kick off the Virginia House minority leader’s re-election campaign activities for the year. Billed as the first annual Andy Guest Invitational Tournament, the campaign event drew sponsors and contributors from all parts of the Commonwealth to help the Friends of Andy Guest Campaign Committee raise funds for his re-election to the Virginia General Assembly. Proceeds also will support his efforts, as minority leader, to help other Republican legislative candidates with campaign services. Delegate Guest, who was first elected in 1972 and became House minority leader in 1985, is unopposed in his bid for a 10th term. Nonetheless, Mr. Guest expects to travel throughout the Commonwealth from now until election day on behalf of all GOP legislative candidates in the hope of not only holding those seats currently held by his party, but increasing their number overall. “I’m honored to be the minority leader, but let’s face it - we want to make majority," said Del. Guest. The tournament activities and other efforts planned by the Friends of Andy Guest Committee are viewed by the House minority leader as “part of a continuing effort on behalf of, and in cooperation with, caucus (GOP) members and those Republicans willing to put themselves on the line for public service to all Virginians. PE customers9 rates decrease Potomac Edison Company’s Virginia customers will be paying less for electricity following action recently by the State Corporation Commission (SCC). The SCC approved a base rate reduction of 4.34 percent or $2.6 million. The decrease became effective Sept. 1. The average residential customer using 800 kilowatt hours of electricity a month will benefit from a decrease in the monthly bill of $1.80 or 4.2 percent. A residential customer using 2000 kilowatt hours a month will see a decrease of $4.50 or 4.5 percent. In March the Commission initiated an SCC staff investigation of the company’s financial condition. The Commission wished to explore the impact on the company’s earnings as a result of lower tax rates prescribed by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and current economic and industry changes. Subsequently, the company filed an application for a decrease in electric rates with the SCC in August. The company’s application stated that the decrease reflects, among other things, a reduction in the utility’s revenue requirements due to the effect of federal tax law changes and recent decreases in the utility’s cost of capital. The Commission order sets Potomac Edison’s authorized return on equity at 13.25 percent which is down from the 15.5 percent set in the company’s last general rate case. Potomac Edison serves approximately 60,000 customers in 14 northwestern Virginia counties.

Tobacco: still a big problem By DR. DEBORAH SMITH Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Now that school is in session and there is much talk about cigarette smoking on high school campuses, I would like to discuss a major preventable health problem: tobacco use. Nearly 350,000 deaths each year are attributed to cigarette smoking. That is as many people as died during all of World War II, and twice as many as were killed during the wars in Vietnam, Korea and the first World War combined. These deaths are not only caused by illnesses. Nearly 1,500 people die every year from smoking related fires. Another 4,000 are injured by accidental fires. Tobacco-related diseases include heart disease and strokes, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, stomach ulcers and various cancers of the mouth, the esophagus, the bladder and the lungs. More than 90 percent of all lung cancer is thought to be caused by cigarette smoking. In women, lung cancer, is now the leading cause of death from any cancer, having recently overtaken breast cancer. The average cigarette smoker dies 5 to 8 years before the average non-smoker; each cigarette smoked takes 5.5 minutes off the smoker’s life. Pregnant women who smoke harm their unborn babies and smoking in an enclosed space is believed to be hazardous to the non-smoker also. Less serious problems associated with cigarette smoking include yellow teeth, gum irritation, bad breath, reduced sense of taste and smell and hoarseness. The problem with tobacco is the poison it contains, nicotine. Unfortunately, nicotine is extremely addictive and seems to be the substance that causes the “good feeling” that is associated with smoking. Although low-nicotine cigarettes are available, people who smoke them inhale more deeply, or simply increase the numbers of cigarettes smoked to get the same effect as with the higher nicotine brands. 'Die addictive powers of nicotine in cigarette smoking have not been widely acknowledged. The tar in cigarettes contains the cancer-causing agents and the carbon monoxide seems to be related to the heart problems. Knowing these things, it would seem ridiculous to smoke and all-important to break the habit if you have already started. The addiction is strong and the longer you smoke the harder it is to quit. Unfortunately, although the total number of cigarettes smoked every year is falling and has been going down for the past 13 years, this is mainly among males. The number of heavy smokers (that is, more than a pack a day) has increased. Teenagers are still smoking and more girls are acquiring the habit. Young athletes switch to chewing tobacco, believing it to be less of a health hazard than cigarette smoking. However, chewing tobacco is highly addictive and is also associated with various cancers, including gum and tohgue cancers. Dr. Deborah Smith is a pediatrician on the staff of the Children's Medical Center at the University of Virginia Medical Center. FEEDER "CATTLE SALES MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC. Maditon Mills, Va.

School PTA offers tips for conferences The school-year is underway and many parents are already wondering how their children are doing in the classroom. The National PTA suggests that parents stop wondering and ask the teacher. “Parents and teachers must work together as a team to solve problems and to develop strategies to help children in school,” said National PTA president Ann Kahn. “One of the best ways to accomplish this is at an effective parent-teacher meeting,” she added. According to educators Lisbeth Brown and Mary Renck Jalongo, parent-teacher conferences are rated by parents as one of the most effective ways to communicate. Writing in the October issue of PTA Today, the National PTA’s magazine, the authors offer ideas for how parents and teachers can have a successful parent-teacher conference. Even though teachers have a major responsibility for planning and conducting a parent-teacher conference, parents’ preparation and attitude toward the meeting can help to add to its success. Ms. Brown and Ms. Jalongo’s article in PTA Today suggests the following ways parents can have a productive conference. • Ask your child questions to de termine what he or she likes or dislikes about school this year. • Prepare a list of questions or concerns, such as “What special talents does my child have?," “What does my child need help with the most?” or “How does my child get along with others?” • Listen to what the teacher has to say. If the teacher uses unfamiliar terms, ask questions. If you don’t understand what the teacher has said repeat it in your own words. • Use a team approach. If you feel your child’s skills, abilities or personal characteristics are being criticized, ask for specific suggestions on how to correct any behavior problems or improve academic progress. While some parents eagerly await conferences, others may be reluctant to attend. Therefore the authors suggest that teachers find ways to encourage attendance by: • Using a direct personal contact with the parent such as written notes or telephone conversations to praise the child’s academic achievement, special talents, behavior etc. • Inviting parents to visit the school to have lunch with the children, attend a play or to review an art display, prior to conferences. • Arranging the seating so the teacher and the parent are face to face on the same side of a table.

But its cargo is computers, not children. Potomac Edison’s new mobile computer classroom will be traveling throughout the utility’s service territory to demonstrate the most sophisticated educational technology available. PTAs, boards of education, teachers and community groups in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia may invite the mobile classroom to their meetings to view the possibilities of computer-interactive instruction. Carrying 28 Apple IIGS computers, the Digicard Classroom Network and Imagewriter II printers, the van was created in response to the findings of a 1986 report by the National Task Force on Educational Technology. “Research shows that computer interactive instruction conveys ideas to students better than traditional blackboard instruction,” said Potomac Edison coordinator Todd Stockslager, who travels with the classroom to explain its capabilities. “Schools can use this computer network as a teaching tool for any subject matter,” he said. As part of its economic development program, Potomac Edison sponsors the mobile computer classroom to help strengthen school systems by providing comprehensive technological demonstrations for community leaders, teachers and parents. Joint sponsors Apple Computer and Major Educational Resources have helped equip the van with computers and the Digicard Classroom Network. To obtain more information or to schedule the mobile computer classroom for a meeting, call Mr. Stockslager at (301) 790-3400.

READiscover USA - Celebrate, which met each Wednesday morning at the library, averaged about 70 children per week, according to Librarian Dee Brents. Children who participated in the program kept a log of the books they read, and earned stamps to place in the log by reading books in any of eight categories. To earn the stamps, each child had to read three picture books or one juvenile book. Among the children with the most stamps were Sara Klatko (28) and Nathan Flinchum (27). Others were Stephanie Tholand (19) and Naomi Smoot (18). “This has been a highly successful program,” one of the volunteers said. “More than half of the children earned stamps in all eight of the categories. The participation of all who helped in this venture is deeply appreciated - we are especially grateful to the Rappahannock News for the fine publicity they have given at all stages of this program.” Blevins Promoted Byran H.

I Struggling with basic questions about growth By THERESA REYNOLDS Bmwhinnock N«w» Contributing Writer "H»e questions are basic,” Bob Dennis told a sympathetic crowd at the Piedmont Environmental Council’s meeting and conference Sept. 12. “What is Virginia’s growth policy? Have we chosen Tyson’s Corner?” Mr. Dennis was using the congested Northern Virginia mall area as an example of the new Virginia city - “a place with no open space, no beauty, no way across the highway or anywhere on foot, and now, no churches.” Tyson’s Comer used to have a church, Mr. Dennis added, but it recently closed its doors because the area — mile after mile of gas stations, convenience stores and fast food dispensaries —just wasn’t conducive to church-going. The 200 or so PEC members, supporters and friends gathered at Janelia Farm, near Leesburg, an agricultural oasis surrounded by the grim and monotonous landscape that Mr. Dennis and his audience fear may be their future home. PEC is a 15-year-old conservation organization working for responsible growth and preservation of open space in the Piedmont counties of Fauquier, Rappahannock, Loudoun, Greene, Madison, Orange, Albemarle, Culpeper and Clarke. “Maybe we’ll have to forget about Tyson’s Comer, write off Fairfax County and parts of Prince William and Tidewater,” said the keynote speaker, Jaquelin Robertson, Dean of the University of Virginia’s Architecture School. “Rut maybe we can save parts of Loudoun, Fauquier, Williamsburg and Richmond. Maybe we can save Rappahannock, Charlottesville and Strasburg.” The large and enthusiastic crowd under the tent included representatives from conservation groups from most of the areas the dean mentioned. Low and very noisy planes flying over the beautiful estate illustrated many of the dean’s points. Outstanding characteristics of Janeha Farm, including the manor house and the view of Sugarloaf Mountain, are protected by easements. Meanwhile, development surrounds the 288-acre Loudoun farm. “Like your teenager’s dirty room, Northern Virginia threatens,” the dean warned. “You think you can close the door and forget it, but soon the mess spreads through the whole house.” Dean Robertson traced the his i IUH Theresa Reynolds for the Rappahannock News UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SCHOOL of Architecture Dean Jacquelin Robertson: “Maybe we can save Rappahannock, Charlottesville and Strasburg.” 1 f Irwin is Director Emeritus Rappahannock resident Phil Irwin was named director emeritus by the Piedmont Environmental Council at its annual meeting and issues conference Sept. 10. PEC reserves this honor for long-time board members with a history of distinguished service. The nine-county conservation organization was founded in 1972, and Mr. Irwin has served on its board since then. Charles Whitehouse, PEC board chairman, said that the honor demands both sustained and effective service. Mr. Irwin, he said, fills the qualifications on both counts. County resident Susan Babcock was elected unanimously to the board of PEC. She joins Lee Bird, Werner Krebser and Allen Olson as Rappahannock’s representatives. tory of the building boom since World War II, saying, “We have built many things but few pleasing places.” “Our youth-obsessed culture,” he said, has produced a kind of “teenage wasteland, with malls, supermarkets and strips and interchanges, parking lots and signs and overhead wire.” The highway planners are not to blame, he said. “There was no plan. This growth was unforeseen.” To combat the type of landscape Jane Sorah named Bank Card head Jane D. Sorah has been named chairman of the Bank Card Committee of the Virginia Bankers Association for 1987-88. The action came at the June VBA board meeting in Richmond. VBA’s Bank Card Committee educates Virginia bankers on bank cards and related value-exchange serv ices. Mrs. Sorah, a resident of Henrico County, is senior vice president and bank card division manager for Central Fidelity Bank in Richmond. She is the daughter of Col. R. H. Ingle Jr. of Amissville and the sister of Mrs. Daphne Hutchinson of Washington. that “is neither town nor country - an endless grey and glitzy empire” creeping farther and farther into the Piedmont — Dean Robertson presented several strategies.

Robertson suggested a ten-year commitment to planning for future state growth in Virginia, involving all levels of government. He said that we must struggle with the difficult problem of offering good design and livable surroundings to the poor. He gave much of the responsibility to architects, saying that they must give up their belief in the “resolving power of one building.” So what if a well-respected architect builds a fantastic building at Tyson’s Comer? the Dean asked. “So what? What good will that do?” Architects and planners at all levels must put streets before buildings, neighborhoods before showplaces. mis win not ue an easy name, the dean warned the crowd. “The people you’re fighting are like the Pentagon, and you’re like those little guys in black pajamas. You must use every week in every year to fight every battle in this beautiful state.” Repeating the dean’s admonitions was Stanwyn Shetler, retiring Loudoun County PEC director and associate director of the Museum of Natural History. After urging the crowd to take “a closer look” at what is beautiful about the Piedmont, Mr. Shetler listed some of the unique habitats for wildlife, some threatened, some already gone, some still plentiful in undeveloped areas. “You don’t know that you’re losing your diversity unless you pay attention,” he warned. “If we can’t save the Piedmont, we might as well give up.” Referring to the proffer system whereby developers offer money or improvements to local government to encourage approval of their plans, Mr. Shetler said, “These are the devil’s proffers. The only true proffer is open space.” In conclusion, and echoing Dean Robertson’s remarks, he told the audience: “Our task is colossal, it is tremendously important, and we can’t ever give up.” Also sharing the podium at the issues conference were Audrey Moore, Fairfax County supervisor, and Robert Jones, mayor of Virginia Beach.

The cost increases, which could be as high as 10 cents a gallon, will only partially offset the high cost of trucking raw milk into Southeast dairy plants, according to Dairymen Inc., a Louisville, Ky. based cooperative that markets nearly half of the milk in the 10-state Southeastern area. “The situation is so serious that some stores may experience temporary shortages in milk supplies,” noted Jim Sumner, spokesman for the farmer-owned dairy co-op. “Our cheese, butter and milk-powder plants have been unable to operate for the last two months. “This week we found ourselves with about 15 percent less milk than we needed. That’s the equivalent of about one day’s production per week,” he said. “This week we’ll be able to obtain only about half the amount needed from other milk sources in the Midwest. And with schools due to open in the next week or two, it’s going to get worse.” To help offset the cost of bringing in milk from distant areas, Mr. Sumner said Dairymen Inc. increased the price to its customers — the milk-bottling plants — by 60 cents per hundredweight, effective Aug. 16. He noted this will likely result in retail price increases of up to 10 cents a gallon. “The Southeast is in a unique sit uation,” he said. “While nationally there is a surplus, here in the Southeast the price to farmers is neither high enough to attract a local supply nor to cover the cost of hauling milk in from other areas.” The cost of milk trucked in from the central Wisconsin area, for example, to locations in the Southeast exceeds local prices by about $2.50 per hundredweight, or 22 cents per gallon. “Unfortunately, when the federal government devised the Dairy Termination Program two years ago, officials failed to recognize regional situations that exist as in the Southeast,” he said. “That government program, combined with the toll the recent heat has taken on milk production, has put the Southeast in a critical situation. And on top of all that, consumers in the Southeast are drinking more milk and eating more cheese and ice cream that ever before.” During July, milk production in the Southeast was nearly seven percent below a year ago. Meanwhile, Southeast fluid-milk sales for the first five months of the year were about two percent above the previous year and ice cream up over one percent. Nationally, cheese sales for the same period are over four percent above a year ago. Dairymen Inc. markets about six billion pounds of milk throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic areas for its 6,400 dairy-farmer members; the states that are expected to feel the greatest impact from the milk shortage* INSTALLATION AVAILABLE FULL FINANCING ^ ARRANGED j DOOLEY POOL DISTRIBUTORS, FREDERICKSBURG, IHSBRt suNo1Pi^n?800/262-3M • Maximum points limited to $1,250, no matter how large your loan.

Often, particularly with hazardous wastes, it’s better to re-use, alter the product for another, beneficial use, or neutralize it.” In regard to the updated Environmental Protection Agency regulations to be released this year, Ms. Bailey said that there would be little conflict. “They’re not doing this in a vacuum,” she said. “As they work on upgrading, we adjust and keep pace in Virginia. There won’t be tremendous disparities between the state and federal regulations for landfills." In a short business meeting following the forum, RLEP members elected Werner Krebser, John Amberson, Butch Zindell and Marc Malik to their governing board. Members present expressed disappointment that more Rappahannock citizens previously involved in landfill issues did not hear Ms. Bailey’s remarks. Also absent were county government officials. Warner (Continued from Page 1) sent the facts simultaneously to the leadership of both nations. This information exchange provides the leadership of our two nations an identical base of facts upon which to make their respective decisions. The personnel in these centers would train constantly on hypothetical situations against the background of an ever-changing world. Also, it is envisioned that the centers should serve as a focal point for all required military and arms control notifications (advance notice of missile tests and military exercises, data exchanges, and reporting detonations of nuclear weapons through either tests or accidents). The centers will function as a meeting place for bilateral discussions regarding additional risk reduction and confidence-building measures. Such discussions could also include high-level military conferences, a goal I have long advocated. It is also envisioned that the centers might have a major role in implementing notifications required under the Intermediate Nuclear ‘ Forces (INF) Treaty now being negotiated with the Soviets. As our experience in operating the centers grows, it is my hope their roles could expand. With terrorist actions threatening all nations, we could develop some joint planning for responding to incidents involving the use (or threatened use) of nuclear weapons by terrorists or unauthorized individuals or groups. As original co-sponsors of legislation calling for establishing these centers, my long-time friend and colleague, Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and I were privileged to be present at yesterday’s White House ceremony. The history of the centers dates to 1980, when we joined our late colleague Sen. Henry (Scoop) Jackson (D-WASH) in proposing a concept of a joint U.S.-Soviet crisis control center. After receiving recommendations from noted experts in the area, we introduced legislation that was approved by Congress in 1984. And in 1985, as members of a Senate Delegation to Moscow, Senator Nunn and I discussed the concept of the centers with General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, who reacted quite favorably. Subsequently, at the U.S.-Soviet summit in Geneva in November 1985, President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev agreed “to study the question of establishing centers to reduce nuclear risk . . .” Now, following several negotiating sessions, the agreement has been formally accepted by the two nations. as i watcnea yesterday s signing, I could not help recalling a similar ceremony 15 years ago in Moscow for the Incidents at Sea Agreement. As the Secretary of the Navy, I negotiated and was chief signatory for that agreement which in several ways was used as a model, a precedent, for this agreement. The Incidents at Sea Agreement has proven extremely successful in preventing, or resolving, disputes between the U.S. and Soviet navies. With the Soviet navy operating throughout the world, often in proximity to our surface and air naval units, it was imperative to establish some professional standards to be followed and a procedure to resolve incidents of misunderstanding. This agreement has worked well for 15 years and each year senior officers of both navies meet in either Washington or Moscow to review it. In the history of the agreement, there has never been a significant accident between operating units of our two navies. It’s my hope that nuclear risk reduction centers will provide an equally important means of exchanging critical information, thereby lessening tensions and avoiding unintentional military confrontation between the1 superpowers.

Range (Continued from Page 1) The Planning Commission recommended approval of the permit unanimously, with Newbill Miller abstaining, citing a conflict of interest as a neighboring landowner. In a related development, Mr. McCarthy said Monday that he had received a letter from Resident Engineer Robert Moore informing him that the present entrance into Greenfield does not meet the highway department’s requirement of a 550-foot sight distance for commercial uses. It is unclear what effect Mr. Moore’s review will have on the application. In a second application reviewed last Wednesday, the Planning Commission was unable to recommend issuance of a permit, citing problems with access. Harold B. Young’s application for a special exception permit to operate an indoor shooting range off Rt. 622 in Huntly was not recommended to the Board of Supervisors. “As a life member of the NRA, I love to shoot — it’s my hobby,” said Commissioner John Clark. “It’s not what, but where. They’ve got the right use, just the wrong piece of property.” About six of Mr. and Mrs. Young’s neighbors spoke in opposition to the permit, citing the property’s location on a private right of way which, they said, is only 20 feet wide in spots. Garfield Burke said that his house is located only six feet off the right-of-way, and that he has complained to his neighbors about traffic visiting their homes which drives too fast. His wife pointed out that “we have grandchildren and pets; I like to let them out in the yard without having to watch them all the time.” David Arnold, who noted that a letter from his wife opposing the permit had been read into the record, presented photographs which showed the narrow width of the road and the quiet, residential character of the neighborhood. “I think that the proposal is inappropriate to the area ... I can’t see that it would do any good.” E. C. Bryant added that a pickyour-own orchard operation also located on the road, while admittedly creating additional traffic, is a seasonal use. “It’s also more in line with the agricultural character of the area.” Mr. Bryant also noted the proximity of Mr. Burke’s house to the road: ‘It’s so close you can almost reach out and shake hands on the way by.” Also, he said, “it would be a large "“Sperryville Realty—| SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703) 987-8088-Office On Old Rag Mt. and Ragged Run, partially furnished 3 room cabin with fireplace, well, 1 acre on state road. $39,000.

It would be better along a public highway in a mixed-use zone.” Mr. McCarthy told the planners that, in his opinion, they could not make a finding on the question of sufficient access to the property, and he recommended that the permit be denied on that basis. The commissioners agreed, voting four against, with Mr. Miller again abstaining. He cited a conflict of interest as the former landowner who subdivided the area and sold property to several of the individuals involved, including Mr. Young and Mr. Burke. The spirit of the small community was evident after the hearing was closed, as the neighbors who spoke in opposition to Mr. Young’s request walked across the courtroom and exchanged handshakes with Mr. and Mrs. Young. Several stayed and talked for a few minutes, assuring the Youngs that there were no hard feelings over the permit. A third application, for the vacating and resubdivision of the Eiten property outside Flint Hill, was approved unanimously. It drew questions from Joyce Settle, who told the commissioners that she wanted assurances that the vacating of the plats would be recorded along with the resubdivision. She alleged that illegal subdividing had been done before, and wanted to be sure that the 80-acre parcel could not be resubdivided into “four or five more lots.” ’This will stand until the subdivision ordinance is changed or there is a change in the zoning ordinance,” Mr. McCarthy told her. “I would be interested to know what slipped by before.” “A matter was done and can be proved in a court of law,” Mrs. Settle replied. “Pray prove it and let me know,” Mr. McCarthy said. “I want the subdivision ordinance adhered to strictly,” Mr.. Miller added. “I appreciate that (Mrs. Settle) came in to make her point,” said Commissioner Werner Krebser. With no further comments, the re-subdivision was approved 5-0. The Planning Commission scheduled a work session on the proposed revisioirof the subdivision ordinance for Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Courthouse. IMMMWMMM1 NUGGETS OF TRUTH by William (Bill) Taylor-Pastor Family Worship Center Washington, Va. Hebrews 13:8 Says Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever, we read in the New Testament in Acts 10:38 how God appointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power and he went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.
