Young girl killed in Viewtown house fire By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eleven-year-old Danielle Lee Sheetz was killed last Thursday night in a fire which consumed the small frame house she lived in on Rt. 729 near Viewtown. According to Chief Paul Poling of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, who was in command at the fire scene, the house was fully involved when the firet fire truck from Amissville arrived on the scene. He said that the fire was visible from about one mile away as the first trucks approached. The back end of the house, where Danielle’s bedroom was located, was already engulfed. “We don’t know how long the fire had been burning before the alarm sounded - it came in as a fully involved structure fire.” Sheriff John Henry Woodward, who responded with the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department, added that flames were shooting out all the windows when he arrived right after the first Amissville trucks. Chief Poling said that firefighters attempted to rescue the girl, who was trapped in her bedroom, but were forced back by the intense heat of the fire. The only access to the room from the outside was through a window. The firefighters were able to break through a screen which covered the window but the intense flames and heat prevented them from getting inside. They then tried, and eventually were able to reach her, from the front of the house, but by that time she had succumbed to the dense smoke and heat. “We did all we could," Sheriff Woodward said, “but the fire was so intense that the firefighters couldn’t get into the room where she was trapped.” She was pronounced dead at the scene by Rappahannock County Medical Examiner Dr. Werner Krebser. The sheriff said that the fire was reported by the Sheetz’s next door neighbor, Patty Jolliffe. Apparently, (See FIRE, p. 18) Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter WHEN FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED, the back of the Sheetz’s house (left of photo) was fully involved. The bedroom where Danielle Sheetz was found — and were the fire is suspected to have started, is in the center, where the ladder is leaning against plywood siding. State Folice to begin drunk driver checkpoints The war against drunk drivers begins in earnest this month, as the State Police go on the offensive with road checks in Rappahannock County. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke announced that the check points will be set up regularly at pre-selected sites “where there is a history of problems with drunk driving. This is being done throughout the state and will probably continue indefinitely.” ■ »,The, .effort will be conducted under guidelines establshed' by tbe Virginia Supreme Court in its decision upholding the constitutionality of arrests stemming from a similar program in Albemarle County. The pre-selected sites will go on a master list and then the location of the road checks will be taken at random from that list, explained Sgt. M. D. Dowdy of the Virginia State Police. Parameters governing the choice of sites are also set out in the Supreme Court’s ruling: vehicles must be able to pull off the road safely and there must be adequate sight distance in both directions. Sgt. Dowdy noted that the State Police run regular check details for operator licenses and registration. These details sometimes net a drunk driver, “but they’re not specifically designed for that,” the sergeant added. “We try to hold one every week, usually during daylight hours, and for the regular check details we use just one or two troopers. For the DUI (driving under the influence) details, we’ll use four troopers and a sergeant.” In addition, the Rappahannock Sheriffs Campaign 987. It’s a job that pays only $400 a year, the lowest salary for any member of a county board of supervisors in the state of Virginia. But despite the pay, Rappahannock has a list of aspiring politicos applying for the posts, waiting for the successful applicants to be announced by the voters this Nov. 3. Most of the job seekers were at the Rappahannock County Elementary School last week: incumbents Hubert Gilkey and Charles Estes who are running unopposed in Wakefield and Piedmont Districts; Mike Massie and Lee Bird, both vying for the Hampton District seat up for grabs with Newbill Miller’s decision not to seek reelection; incumbent A1 Henry, waging a write-in campaign, and his challengers in Jackson District, Frank Fishback, Ron Frazier and Col. Ellis Bingham. Only Nelson Lane, the unopposed incumbent in Stonewall-Hawthome, was missing from the podium. (And his absence brought out an opponent. The morning following the educational forum, activist Sharon Kilpatrick announced a write-in candidacy, citing her dissatisfaction with Mr. Lane’s poor attendance record as the primary factor in her decision.) Moderator Douglas Baumgardner posed the same questions to all the candidates, rotating the order for their responses. Following are the questions, w hich were developed by Mr. Baumgardner, school superintendent David Gangel, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie and PTA representative Camille Foster-Harris, and the answers from the candidates. Question: The state’s $1.5 million lowinterest literary loan falls $150,000 short of meeting the cost of the high school's capital outlay project. The deficit has left the project unfinished, with seats for both the new auditorium and gymnasium missing, due to lack of funds. As a member of the Board of supervisors, will you commit to providing the money to complete the work by the summer of1988? Lee Bird: “I understand there are some seats from the old gym available for refurbishing, enough for one side of the new gym ... In view of budgetary considerations, I would stay with that for at least one year. I’m in favor of doing everything that’s needed, everything we can do for academic purposes, but this is the kind of thing that can be subordinated for a year or so. ” Charles Estes: “I want to see the expansion project completed in its entirity as designed.” Mike Massie: “Dr. Gangel told me they have somebody ready to do the refurbishing of the old seats. That will take care of part of what we need . . .They’ve already raised $2,000 for this from private sources. I think the solicitation effort should continue, but if that comes up short, we have no choice but to finish the building.” Ellis Bingham: “I’m amazed the problem is there to begin with. It’s another example of crisis management. . . It’s great that we have private donations but the supervisors have a responsibility to finish this. As far as athletics vis a vis academics, each is just as important as the other... for boys and girls, but especially for your little males. In order to have a healthy mind, he must have a healthy body.” A1 Henry: “I’m committed to the completion of the capital outlay project.” Frank Fishback: “The present board committed itself and this county to completion of the high school expansion . . . Department will be encouraged to take part. The extra officers are needed to ensure compliance with the Supreme Court guidelines, according to Sgt. Dowdy. “Under the Lowe decision, if the traffic starts to back up, we have to let the cars go through and reduce the checks to a pre-selected pattern, say every third vehicle or every fifth vehicle. That’s why it helps to have all the manpower we can get in case traffic gets heavy.” . Unlike tbe regular details, the DUI road ■ wrilLakwqt&iift held at night, “It/t - mon knowledge that most drunk driving offenses occur at night, especially on weekends,” the sergeant said. “Not everyone who is stopped will be asked to get out of their cars,” Mr. Luke noted. Motorists who show no signs of alcohol consumption will be allowed to drive on after producing their licenses, the Commonwealth’s Attorney said, adding that the road check program aims to keep public inconvenience to a minimum. But if the trooper notices bloodshot eyes, the smell of alcohol, undue fumbling for a license or other suspicious behavior, the driver will be asked to pull over for the standard investigation, which may include a coordination test and a field alka-sensor test, Mr. Luke said. Last year, the General Assembly reduced the blood alcohol level that gives rise to a presumption of intoxication from . 15 to . 10. Once that. 10 concentration is reached, it is illegal to (See DWI, p. 18) noibs tup fim fROM 111 OVINR I hi ? hrs } his 4 his TOTAL DBINKS TTTTTTTTT LJ Caution I 1 Driving Impaiied ■I Legally Intoxicated * Chat ts «|f '* in to bn on * y ‘JU uins job •• > u , t ii ■*|4<i .•vuJnr'U i’ Blood Alcohol Concentrations Graphics courtesy VASAP , Supervisor candidates on the record on educational issues The funds are there if we look hard enough.” Ron Frazier: “I’m completely dedicated to the completion of the school expansion project, but we may have to use the existing seating, refurbish it and move it, and purchase new auditorium seating from next year’s budget. Hubert Gilkey: “When we decided to take this project on, we had every intention of completing it. . . I’m not telling you to stop the private fund drive, but the supervisors will do everything in their power to finish the building.” Question: Salaries for both beginning and experienced teachers in Rappahannock County are the lowest in the area, despite raises that have averaged 10 percent over the past three years. The coming year will be the first time in three years that the state will not make extra fbiancial aid available to school divisions that give teachers sala ry increases of at least 10 percent. Given those facts and last year’s real estate tax hike of 11 cents per $100 of assessed value (which goes primarily for solid waste disposal), if you were facing a tax increase of four cents in 1988-89 to meet budgetary de?nands and the county’s accountant advised that the 10 percent raise proposed for teachers was the only thing you could cut to reduce that rate, what would you do, assuming your constituents were split on the issue? Mike Massie: “Rappahannock’s salary for beginning teachers is close to that in Madison and Page . We don’t seem to have trouble getting new teachers, but we have a problem keeping the teachers we already have ... I would say give a 10 percent raise to the teachers who have been here a while and maybe no raise for the 0-to 10-year categories, and maybe that would mean only a one or two cent increase in the tax rate,” , Ellis Bingham: “We talk a lot about the land and the beauty of the land here, but the biggest thing we have going for us are our children... They must be taught... If we don’t educate them, we won’t keep the land . . . In order for learning to occur, teachers have to motivate most children. They do that with their own internal motivation and their skill. It’s an awesome responsibility we place on teachers.. . According to the figures for 1986-87, the average salary for a teacher in Rappahannock county was $4,600 below the state average. But of the’l36 school districts in Virginia, Rappahannock County is 10th in affordability. We’re ahead of Fauquier County. We’re ahead of Fairfax County. We can afford a 10 percent raise for teachers.” A1 Henry: “The new reassessment will raise property values substantially and since the last assessment, we’ve had a lot of building activity that will add to our tax base, so it’s totally within the possibility that we 11 have extra funds.. . I’m in favor of a 10 percent raise for teachers. I’m committed to seeing we have good quality education . . . The two best teachers I ever had were a 62-year-old math teacher . . . and a 65-year-old history teacher... A good teacher is like a good bottle of wine. They get better with age. And I want Rappahannock County to have vintage, experienced teachers.” Frank Fishback: “In order to keep good teachers, you have to pay them good money. I have no problem at all with a 10 percent raise.” Ron Frazier: “First we have to bring beginning salaries up on line with what’s paid in neighboring counties and then we have to keep them there - at a minimum.* . . I would vote for the four cent increase iif > taxes.” Hubert Gilkey: “I would be in favor of' * the four cent tax increase . . . With the ,>* reassessment, I see no problem . . . But tl\e, ranking on 10th in ability (to pay for -Z<'' education) is based on land sales, and we v’v only have two things to tax in );•- > Rappahannock County: land and personal property. That’s why the formula (that IK, allots state funds for education) is so unfair ; to Rappahannock and other rural counties.’*; Lee Bird: “Education, public schools that is the single most important thing ouKn local government does ... If we’re going to ; prepare our children to meet the challenge^, of the coming years, we must educate them ’ well, and quality begins with the teachers^.’ We’re lagging behind in beginning and ; !*! maximum salaries. I’m in favor of bringing*! our salaries in line with those in the »*> surrounding counties. I would favor the fair cent increase.” Charles Estes: “This coming budget year is going to be extremely difficult for the Board of Supervisors. I won’t commit to a 10 percent raise for teachers. It may have to be a percent or two less.” Question: Rappahannock County several year* ago changed its method of selecting School Board members from appointment by School Electoral Trustees to appointment by the Board of Supervisors and now in practice, the Supervisor from the district in which the vacancy occurs makes the choice. What qualities would you look for in a School Board member? Would it be necessary to have children in the public (See FORUM, p. 17)

Kevin Miller has failed to honor a commitment made during his campaign which Mr. Chase said reveals his lack of responsiveness to his constituents. Mr. Chase said that one of Sen. Miller’s campaign flyers, circulated during his 1983 run for the Senate, promises that he would visit locally and meet with constituents on a monthly basis. Mr. Chase produced a copy of the 1983 letter, signed by Mr. Miller, in which he says, “If elected, I will hold announced monthly visitations to the counties of Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock and Page. ” Mr. Chase charged, “He hasn’t even come close to that. Many of our people say that they only see him every fourth year around election time.” For example, Mr. Chase said, a representative for Mr. Miller has maintained in a letter to local newspapers that Sen. Miller held a meeting in Culpeper County each year before the General Assembly session. The challenger noted that this admission, by the Miller campaign, means that Sen. Miller officially visits the county on ah announced basis one-twelfth as often as he promised. “Responsiveness is a major reason why I got into this race,” Mr. Chase affirmed. “I believe that our state senator should go to the people, not make the people come to him.” Unlike Sen. Miller, Mr. Chase said that he will maintain legislative offices in Culpeper and Harrisortburg so constituents can more easily call or visit him. Re-Elect SENATOR KEVIN MILLER ...Right Where We Need Him. STATE SENATE—26th District “Kevin Miller is an effective legislator whose sense of fiscal responsibility will obtain the most for your tax dollar.

House tour and flower sale this weekend This Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18, the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, Trinity Episcopal Church, will sponsor their 31st annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dned Flower Sale. Tour headquarters and flower sales room will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Church in historic Washington. For the past several weeks the Parish Hall has been the workshop where hundreds of arrangements were being prepared for display and sale this weekend. “This annual event has been increasing in popularity and those who would like a lovely, lasting flower display for the coming holidays or just to cheer up a room during the winter, are advised not to wait too long in making their selections,” a flower sale spokesman said. The three houses slated for this year’s tour will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets which will be available at the Parish Hall or the homes are $6 for all three houses and tea or $2.50 for individual houses. Houses on the tour are the Summer Kitchen, in Washington, the home of Louise van Dort, Mere House, contemporary solar home of Bill and Linda Dietel, three miles west of Flint Hill off Route 629, and Laurel Hill, home of Mary Frances and C. William Fannon, 5.4 miles south of Ben Venue on Rt. 729 and just off Rt. 618. This charming farm home has a lovely view across the valley of Battle Mountain and is the center of a working, 1,200-acre Tarantaise cattle operation. Laurel Hill Farm is the largest raiser of this 200-yearold French breed on the Eastern Seaboard. The current house is on the site of one built by Major John Roberts, who fought in the Revolution. In 1850 the farm passed to the Hughes family whose forebears also fought in that war. It was a stately home with deep window seats, thick walls, high ceilings, much paneling and many carved mantels and doorways. All this was lost in 1915 when the house burned to the ground. A two-story, four-room house was built here in the 1930s by the Hughes family to serve as a temporary residence. Little further work was done, however, until 1950 when the property was bought by Lt. General Daniel Noce, a veteran of World War II. He and Mrs. Noce upgraded the house to some degree but it was in 1965 when Laurel Hill passed to the Fannons that the home was completely remodeled. Today there are downstairs and upstairs living rooms, a paneled sit-. , ting room and form^ dinfag j’oom. -- Many materials for The ’rebuilding” came from old homes and building^ in the area as well as from Alexan Read ®»je ftappabannocfe iJetos for local news ^ee's Orchard ■MtSMfNC-TVN.

The pine in the kitchen came from Brown’s Store in Reva as did the 21-inch pine boards in the floor upstairs. The paneling came from Alexandria and South Wales in nearby Jeffersonton. The wrought iron railing on the upper porch once graced the old Waverly Hotel in Culpeper. One wall of the upstairs living room is bright with the greens and blues of Mrs. Fannon’s collection of majolica ware. Throughout the house there are lovely old prints and antiques collected by the Fannons ^ over the years. Although operating a sizeable cattle farm is not an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job, Mr. Fannon still finds time to raise horses, many to be seen in the paddocks, and he plans to host many of the county’s polo matches at his magnificent polo field. Ruby Jenkins’ First Washington Museum at Main and Porter Streets and the Rappahannock County Historical Society building on Gay Street will also be open during the weekend. The Historical Society will also have apple fritters for sale in front of the building, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Mrs. Kurten, whose home is in Hyde Park, N.Y., has been working with puppets for 20 years. She has won several awards for her original children’s stories that teach a lesson about modern day life. The puppeteer received a certificate of merit from the American Cancer Society for her play “All Dragons Don’t,” a story designed to con vince children not to smoke.

Published by Arundel Newspapers. Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Editorial i — — —— ■ ■ — i Learn not to burn ( • Last week, tragedy struck Rappahannock County. A ybung girl was killed in a house fire, believed to have been caused by an overloaded extension cord. > Any fire is tragic. The death of a young person multiplies the tragedy, and the fact that it occurred as the country observed National Fire Prevention Week made it especially s^d. ! But, it underscores one important point made in our editorial last week. Fire awareness and prevention is something which should never be put off until tomorrow. It’s easy to say, “It couldn’t happen to me — or to my family.” Unfortunately, there are too many sad statistics which belie that argument. ; Fires can happen to anyone — and they can happen when we least expect it. Most deaths by fire are caused not by the fire itself, but by inhalation of the smoke and fumes created by even a small, smoldering fire. Death often occurs before the victim is even aiyare that a fire is burning. > That’s why smoke detectors are such an important safety precaution for every home, not just those which heat with w$>od. They are sensitive to that smoke, and will set off a pjfercing alarm which should awake even the soundest sleeper before the smoke concentration gets great enough to be lifethreatening. £ But, even once you’re awakened, prevention and pfenning come into play. Even small amounts of smoke, particularly the toxic fumes given off by modern synthetic materials like chair stuffing or rugs, can irritate eyes, nose and throat, making it difficult to see and breathe. If the occupants of the house have planned and practiced fi#e escape procedures, they should find it much easier to get out of the building, even through thick smoke. While you’re leaving the building — crawl — don’t walk upright. Smoke rises, and the greatest concentration of clean, oxygen-nch air is near the floor. r Before opening a closed door, feel it with your hand, particularly around the edges. If it is hot to the touch, there is probably fire on the other side. DO NOT open it. Find another exit. Each room should have at least two exits mapped in the fire escape plan. If you have any suspicion that the fire is bad, don’t stop towcall the fire department from your home phone. Go to the nearest phone to summon help. You could be overcome while talking to the dispatcher. j*: Every member of the family should be able to give clear directions — complete with landmarks and route numbers - to tl^e dispatcher. The emergency number for all residents of Rappahannock County is 987-8525. The Sheriffs Department stresses that number is for emergencies only. >■ Also, if possible, tell the dispatcher what type of fire you suspect, and whether there is anyone injured or trapped inside. Any information which the firefighters have before tl^y arrive on the scene will help them prepare for the situation. Fire extinguishers are also a good idea, especially in hqmes which heat with wood. £ And, if you have a small fire, even one which you extinguish yourself, don’t be embarrassed to call and request t^e fire department to come and check it out. They would rather come out and assure you that everything is okay than respond later to a fully involved structure fire. £ But above all, fire prevention is an awareness that fire cjin strike anyone, anywhere, anytime. Listen to that little vqtice which warns about being careless and cavalier about f^e. It may be trying to save your life. 5 October is crime prevention month £'Now in its fifth year of observ&ce, Crime Prevention Month has gf$wn into an international celebwtion of the fact that by working tqjrether citizens can do something fit? reduce crime and the fear it breeds. In a recent victimization risk sifvey conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, nearly one-third ofcU.S. households said they had fiften some form of crime prevention adnon. C. Virginia will make Oct. Crime Prevention Month byproclamation fijStm Governor Gerald Baliles urging Virginians to recognize their integral role in the control of crime. In h|£ proclamation, the Governor sifted, “Crime reduction through prevention benefits Virginians in many ways — reduced pain and suffering of victims, decreased tax burden, improved civic spirit and climate, and renewed sense of neighborliness and community cohesion.” The theme for Crime Prevention Month ’87 is “Watch Out, Help Out.” This positive, take-action approach involves “watching out” - making homes more secure, teaching children emergency numbers, reporting suspicious activities and “helping out” - neighbors looking out for each other, getting together to clean up streets and parks, helping elderly residents feel more secure, assisting crime victims and seeking ways to use teenagers’ talents.

Letters to the editor Support UNICEF To the editor: Thank you! That’s what lVs> million children overseas would like to tell Americans who supported UNICEF last year. That’s how many children were saved in the last 12 months because of vaccinations and a simple, low-cost method of restoring fluids to children suffering from dehydration - the number one cause of child deaths in the developing world. UNICEF addresses the silent emergency of deprivation every day, because every day 38,500 children under the age of five die from preventable causes. The means to reduce this number by half are available, accessible and inexpensive, but UNICEF needs your help. UNICEF is participating in a worldwide drive to immunize all children by 1990. Universal immunization can become a reality because of two recent breakthroughs: a “supply breakthrough,” due to the increased availability of improved vaccines, and a “demand breakthrough,” the result of countries mobilizing to make the vaccinations possible. In much the same way that smallpox was eradicated, measles, polio, tetanus, diptheria, tuberculosis and whooping cough can be' eliminated too. It costs $5 to immunize a child against these diseases, 10 cents to provide him or her with the salts necessary to restore body fluids. This year the U.S. Committee for UNICEF celebrates its 40th anniversary. Help us make child survival and Universal Child Immunization a reality. Join the Front Royal United Methodist Church in providing our city with safe and fun ways to enjoy Halloween while helping the world’s neediest children through UNICEF. MELINDA F. RUSSELL Front Royal Appreciation from 4-H To the editor: On behalf of the Cooperative Extension Service may I take this opportunity to thank each of the 48 county sponsors who bought advertising to make the two-page 4-H coverage possible in last week’s paper. The goal of 4-H is to develop the r youth of today to become responsible citizens and leaders of tomorrow. If we all continue to work together toward this goal then we will have a better tomorrow for Rappahannock young people. SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent 4-H Youth 1 Where was Mr. Chase? To the editor: In an article in the Daily News Record on September 28, 1987, William Chase of Culpeper, the Democratic candidate for the Senate seat now held by Senator Kevin Miller of Harrisonburg, was quoted as saying that “I have not seen Senator Miller in Culpeper before this year’s election.” As Senator Miller’s Administrative Assistant, I assist in setting up his visitation schedule for his district. Each year before the session of legislature, we schedule visits to each jurisdiction in the 26th Senatorial District to hear requests and suggestions from citizens and local officials. These meetings are held in Harrisonburg (Rockingham County), Luray (Page County), Washington (Rappahannock County), Madison (Madison County), Warrenton (Fauquier County) and Culpeper (Culpeper County). Before each of these meetings, we send a news release to the newspapers and radio stations covering these areas to notify the public of the time and place it will be held. Ironically, our meeting place in Culpeper has been mostly at the Culpeper County Court House in the supervisors’ meeting room. If Mr. Chase, a Culpeper County supervisor, was not aware of these meetings, then he apparently does not read his local paper or listen to the local radio stations. Since by his own admission, he did not attend any of these meetings, then apparently he had no interest in what was going on in the legislature and had nothing to contribute to the Senator on behalf of those who elected him to the board in Culpeper County. He seems to have become interested only after deciding to run for the Senate. It is inconceivable to me that he was unaware of these and other frequent visits that Senator Miller made to Culpeper as well as to the other parts of the district. I believe that Mr. Chase is more interested in the title of Senator than he is in the concerns of the people of Culpeper and the rest of the 26th Senatorial District. DEE E. FLOYD Penn Laird, Va. Vote ‘no’ oniottery To the editor: Virginia voters will make a terrible mistake if they vote on Nov. 3 to have a state sponsored lottery. Former Governors Charles Robb and Mills E. Godwin (as well as the late Linwood Holton) all oppose the idea of a lottery for which there will no doubt be much favorable support between now and election day. We don’t need a lottery in Virginia. Friends from Maryland, a lottery state, tell me “. . . it doesn’t do what sponsors claimed it would; it has not meant extra money for our schools.” We have also been told that the poorest third of all Maryland families buy 60 percent of all lottery tickets every day. In effect, the lottery imposes an additional tax on those who can least afford it. Thousands spent for lottery tickets by those who cannot afford to lose money will not result in better clothed, better fed, or better educated people. Historically, a state-sponsored lottery has not necessarily improved education nor increased the education budget in other states. Too often the attitudes of legislators have been, when working on the state budget, that education does not need to be allotted monies from other sources beeause the lottery is generating money for education. Therefore, the education budget runs the risk of remaining static. During the summer we have asked people from across the state of Virginia if they are going to vote “Yes” or “No” on the lottery issue. There has always been an emphatic “No” in response. People from out of state have said, “Don’t let that happen in Virginia.” We urge all to vote “No” on the lottery issue on Nov. 3. It is another tax on the poor. BILL AND FRANCES LYNE Washington Look for a better site To the editor: I applaud the Rappahannock News’ accurate reporting of the landfill issue in last week’s paper. Contrary to the Oct. 1 issue in which A1 Henry was quoted as saying the issue had been defused and the data submitted to the state looks favorable, the readers have heard what the state’s Department of Waste Management really has to say on the matter. How many more experts will it take to convince the Board of Supervisors that the Stover tract, with its streams, slopes and other deficiencies which may cause well contamination, is unsuitable for a landfill? Since the proposed site is near the borders of Culpeper and Fauquier counties and the Rappahannock River, let's be a little kinder to our neighbors and locate a more suitable, centrally located site to better serve the entire county of Rappahannock. Now that the board has already signed a contract to purchase the property, I suggest we negotiate with Culpeper and Fauquier counties to use the site as a tri-county park with facilities similar to the Bull Run Park at Centreville. CATHY LOU SMITH Landowner Chester Gap Gentlemanly rivals To the editor: Compliments to a team. I congratulate the Rappahannock High School Varsity Team and the coaching staff for a great performance and sportsmanship at Wakefield’s homecoming game Oct. 10. I thank Athletic Director Gary Leake for his efforts to ease tensions. ULIMAEYER Varsity Soccer Coach Wakefield School Reasons to quit To the editor: More reasons to stop smoking and to avoid second hand smoke. Tobacco smoke destroys the natural defenses of the respiratory system. It dries up the mucous-producing cells that expel viruses and bacteria. It damages the delicate lining of the airways, and it inhibits the clean-up action of the cilia and of the infection-fighting cells. Asa result: • Colds last longer and are more severe. • Flu lasts longer arid is more se vere. • Secondary bacterial infections, such as pneumonia, are more likely to develop. • Laryngitis is more likely to develop and is more severe. If you smoke, quit now so your body can begin to heal itself. Stay away from second hand smoke and insist on your right to breathe noncancerous air. JUNE RUSSELL Orange

Belter representation needed in Jackson District ByCOL. ELLIS BINGHAM “■Wlwnnoek New. Contributing Writer As a result of my participation with the Jackson District Citizens’ Committee against the proposed landfill on the Stover Tract, concerned citizens urged me to run as Uieu- representative from Jackson District on the Board of Supervisors. After a lot of thought on the subject and after watching the existing Board of Supervisors in action in regard to the landfill controversy, I agreed to run. As a resident in Jackson District I felt that the community needed better representation on the board. As a citizen of Rappahannock County, I know that the citizens of this county deserve more than the benevolent dictatorship we’re currently governed under at the county level. I do not mean to be over-critical of the existing members, because this is a situation which often exists when citizens do not participate in the running of their own government, or when that participation is stifled. As I stated at the PTA meeting on the night of Oct. 6, in a democracy it is the responsibility of all citizens to take an active role in the decision-making process of their government. This is especially true at the county level. If we allow others to run our government for us, they will, but probably not the way we would like. If elected to represent the people of Jackson District, I envision my task as just that, the District’s representative. No nuqor issue should be voted on without everyone having prior knowledge and understanding of the issues and how they will affect them. Supposedly many of the major decisions have already been made and are behind us, but when I hear statements like, “But by the end of calendar year 1988 we should know where we’re at,” I become concerned, because this implies that we don’t really know where we are at. And to be quite frank with you I don’t know how we could have determined the county’s budget requirements without a long range plan. The Comprehensive Plan for Rappahannock County that was approved in 1980 recommended that we develop a “Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan,” but this has been ignored. Mr. McCarthy stated in the joint meeting between the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission on Sept. 9 that, every time be brought it up it was set aside. Consequently, this leaves many unanswered and disturbing questions in my mind in regards to the recently completed property value assessment and tax increase — an increase that we seem to have literally pulled out of the air. Now we find that we don’t have enough money in the till to put seats in the gym. This is a prime example of crisis management and I know that we can do better for the citizens of this county. Mr. Henry stated, “The corresponding large tax increases have the county’s residents worried about the future.” Without proper planning and representation they should be frightened - not worried. The first thing I would like to see accomplished is the development of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan in draft format. Then I would like to see the plan circulated, All Hallow’s Eve at Crockett Pk. C.M. Crockett Park has planned to celebrate Halloween with “Pumpkin Cut-Ups” on Saturday, Oct. 24 and a Nature Costume Parade on Saturday, Oct. 31. “Come enjoy the fall fun with a bunch of “cut-ups”, said Gary Kwolek, Assistant Park Manager. “Pumpkin Cut-Ups” will begin at 5 p.m. with a pumpkin carving competition for children five to 12 years old. Parents please provide your knife for carving. Categories for judging will be Scariest, Funniest and Most Unusual. Information on how to process pumpkins into holiday treats will also be provided. At 6 p.m. there will be a hayride through the scenic landscape of Crockett Park. All activities will take place in the Panorama Shelter. On Halloween, Crockett Park’s Nature Costume Parade willstart at 5 p.m. at the Waterside Amphitheater. All children ages five to 12 are encouraged to bring their parents to the Park to enjoy the fun on Halloween night. There will also be bobbing for apples and ghost stories around a roaring fire. Prizes will be awarded for both “Pumpkin Cut-Ups” and the Nature Costume Parade. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. There is no charge for either of the Halloween programs. However, the usual parking fee of $2 for in-county and $3 for non-county vehicles will be in effect. Registration is not necessary but reservations are needed for both Halloween programs. To reserve a space call Crockett Park at 788-4867 daily, 9 jum. to 7 p.m. COL. ELLIS BINGHAM briefed and discussed with the citizens of Rappahannock County. Once we can agree where we want to go as a county, then we can determine the best way to get there. In all probability it will require another complete reassessment of our land values for tax purposes. If there are inequities in the present system then the citizens of the county should not be forced to live with that system for four or five more years. We can still keep our open lands, preserve our scenic beauty and remain an agricultural community with an equitable distribution of responsibility. I cannot speak to this situation in further depth until I have had an opportunity to thoroughly analyze the situation. But I can tell you this, that whatever the situation, the citizens, all the citizens of Rappahannock County, must be allowed to have a voice and be given an opportunity to thoroughly understand the total and complete situation and the impact that it will have on them.

A man from Rock Mills breaks his ankle and needs a walker. A cancer patient in Washington needs a hospital bed, a serving table and a blood pressure kit. An elderly woman in Viewtown injures her hip and needs a wheelchair. A family in Flint Hill needs a hospital bed for a daughter seriously injured in a car accident. All of these people and scores of other convalescents have found help from the Rappahannock Loan Closet. There’s no income eligibility requirement for this program, which was formerly operated under the auspices of the Cancer Society and is now run by volunteers and supported by private donations. “We’ve loaned convalescent aids to some of the county’s wealthiest families and to some of Rappahannock’s neediest people,” said Kim Novak, who has managed the Loan Closet for the past eight years. There’s no charge; the equipment comes free. Neither is there a time limit on the use of the wheelchairs, walkers, beds, commodes and other convalescent equipment. “Sometimes the item is kept for two or three weeks and sometimes for two years. We want people to keep them as long as needed,” Mrs. Novak said. Although the closet’s inventory is impressive, calls often come in for an item not on the list. When that happens, volunteers make every effort to provide what is sought. “They call, they need it, we get it, if it’s at all possible. And eight out of ten times, they need it today. So far, we’ve always been able to respond," said Mrs. Novak, who took over the management of the Loan Closet from Mrs. Maury Biddle and ran the operation out of space provided by Col. Biddle at his Flint Hill law office where she is the secretary. “When we’ve had emergency calls, I’ve closed the office and thrown a wheelchair in the back of my truck to deliver it up in a hollow,” she said. “A lot of the people who need help the most have no way to get to the Loan Closet.” Accessibility was a particular problem when the loan program was housed at the Biddles’ residence in the F.T. Valley, Mrs. Novak added. But that difficulty was minor compared to the crisis the Loan Closet now faces. “We need space if we are to continue.” Specifically, the Loan Closet needs a large room, at least 12 feet by 14 feet. Electricity and heat are not prerequisites. “I’ve been doing this for eight years and we’ve never had either! One place we used didn’t even have a floor - it was just hard dirt - but we would rather have a Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT floor,” Mrs. Novak said. A central location, easily accessible, is. preferred, as is a building with cement walls so that the selection of hospital beds can be hung from the walls instead of being stacked on the floor. And as always, the Loan Closet, can use additional volunteers; (the membership numbers about 14), donations of convalescent equipment (they’ll take even half a pair of crutches) and cash contributions (which will be tax deductible ad soon as the organization’s request for tax exempt status is processed). .< “But what we really need is space,” Mrs. Novak emphasized, adding that the donation of a room will also qualify for a tax write-off as a charitable donation. For more information, or tooffer space, time, equipment or money, call Dot Mank (987-8248), Wanda Rogers (675-3636) or Kim Novak (937-5553). The same numbers can be used to arrange for the loan of a convalescent aid. ! The Final Tribute CLORE 1 funeral!

Apples: The ‘All-American’ food By SANDRA RICHARDSON Kttcnsion Afent, Home Economies History It can be said that apples and America have grown up together. The first settlers are credited with bringing apple seeds from Holland. . Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony is given credit for harvesting the first apple grown - from seeds. In 1657, Governor Stuyvesant of New Amsterdam <now New York) was such an apple lover that he brought a grafted apple tree from Holland. Commercially, the apple tree nursery business dates back to 1730 in Flushing, Long Island. The Pennsylvania Dutch became experts at drying sliced apples. They called this dried fruit “Schnitz.” These folks are credited from our country’s early days up until today with their fine cider. Pennsylvania Dutch apple recipes have won many prizes throughout the generations. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were both avid apple growers. In Virginia and throughout the Blue Ridge and Appalachian areas, apple orchards flourish. Covered wagons are believed to have carried apple trees and “scion wood” used for grafting purposes. This part of the cargo was treasured and well-protected all of the journey. From colonial times to the present the apple has become America’s symbol of hospitality. Colonial taverns featured mugs of sparkling cider. Throughout generations, apple pie with cheese or apple pie a la mode have been “All-American” favorites. Apples have been shared by students on the first day of school and one must not forget that a favorite teacher’s gift is the apple. Legends Many fascinating stories and legends are blended together with the apple. Adam succumbed to Eve’s temptation in the Garden of Eden and both ate fruit, the symbolic apple, from the tree of wisdom and knowledge. William Tell, the Swiss peasant, become a hero when he shot an apple from his son’s head using a bow and arrow. Legend has that John Chapman, a young lad from Massachusetts, became known as Johnny Appleseed due to his chance encounters with the Pennsylvania cider mills as he went to visit his uncle in New York in the late 1700s. An apply a day is said to keep the doctor away.' In Lincolnshire, England rheumatism was treated using a poultice made from rotten apples. If one is superstitious and has warts he wishes to get rid of, he may wish to try this “cure” for warts: Cut an apple in half. Rub it on the warts, tie it back together and then bury it. Soon the warts will vanish. I Health & Nutrition In addition to just plain good eating, apples are good for a person’s general good health and nutrition. Apples are one of the favorite and most universally available fruits comprising the fruit and vegetable food group. An average size apple contains about 80 calories.

Gateway Plaza Shopping Center, Ff?8 jf'g pit:t food energy unit supplied by fats, carbohydrates and proteins). The energy supplied by an apple comes from quickly available fruit sugars. This quick energy makes the apple a prime choice for snacking because it fills you up - not out - while still providing quick energy. A raw apple with the skin provides calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C. The body needs fiber in the diet for its digestive and regulatory system to function properly. Apples are also an excellent source of pectin which is associated with helping keep cholesterol levels in balance, and this relationship is felt to be significant in helping to prevent or reduce the dangers of coronary heart disease. The relatively high potassium and low sodium ratio in apples is also significant in some cardiac and renal problems as well as in the diets for overweight persons. Studies have shown that individuals who eat apples regularly have fewer headaches and other illnesses associated with nervous tension. These same people also show a reduced incidence of colds and other minor upper-respiratory ailments. Apples are considered to be “nature’s toothbrush.” Whereas eating an apple doesn’t and shouldn’t be encouraged as a substitute for proper brushing of the teeth, doing so does provide the greatest natural “assistant” a dentist or dental hygienist could have. The mild fibrous texture of the apple for detergent action, its juice content, its delightful aroma and mouth-watering appeal to induce salivary activity all combine to make the apple an ideal dentifrice and natural “toothbrush.” Research has shown a marked reduction in dental caries when apples are eaten regularly in lieu of or following excessive amounts of candies, pastries and other foods that leave a sticky residue between and around the teeth for extended periods of time. Selection-Storage-Yields The main consideration when buying apples is how they will be used. While there’s no hard and fast rule about apples, certain varieties have become favorites for eating raw, cooking or baking. The Red Delicious is considered by many to be the sweetest eating apple, but the Golden Delicious is equally popular because it is more of an all-purpose apple. Also considered to be good all-purpose varieties are the Stayman and Winesap. The following list may be helpful in determining which variety best meets the needs at hand. Summer Ram bo: green with pink blush, tart, use for cooking. McIntosh: red, slightly tart, tender, use for eating, salads, sauce Golden Delicious: pale yellow, large oblong in shape, sweet, juicy, use for salads, eating fresh, pies Grimes Golden: green yellow to golden yellow, mild, sweet, use for eating, salads, cooking Jonathan: red with green patches, small to medium, round, tart, crisp, juicy, use for all-purpose, due to size is perfect for lunch boxes Red Delicious: brilliant red, large, long, angular shape with five knoblike projections at base, use for salads, eating fresh, decorating Stayman: dull red, medium to large, round, very firm, tart, juicy, crunchy texture, use for all purposes Rome: red, medium to large, round and squatty, slightly tart, firm and crisp, use for baking, pies Winesap: dark red, small to medium, round, juicy, tart flesh, winelike taste, use for eating, cooking, especially frying York: red, medium to large, flat, lopsided shape, use for cooking, eating, pies After the purpose has been determined, three things need to be considered in selecting apples - color, surface texture, and ripeness. Since apples come in all shades of reds, yellows and greens, don’t rely on red as the standard for good quality. The color should be bright and vibrant, suitable for the variety. The surface texture should be free from bruises, blemishes or skin breaks. (Surface resetting - brownish, freckled areas on the skin generally caused by weather - may somewhat mar the appearance of apples, but does not affect quality or flavor). Overripe apples of all varieties show prominent bruises. A Guide To Apple Yields One pound (1/2 kilogram) of apples generally consists of: 4 small apples, 3 medium apples, 2 large apples. Two medium apples are needed to yield 1 cup grated apple. Allow 2 pounds of apples for 1-9 inch apple pie. A peck of apples weighs 10.5 pounds. Use 1 pound of apples to yield 3 cups diced apples. Use 1 pound of apples to yield 2 3/4 cups pared and sliced apples One bushel of apples weighs about 42 pounds and will yield 18 to 20 quarts of canned or frozen apple slices. Cider Many Rappahannock apple growers make their own country cider. Country cider is a name given to cider put up and sold at farm markets (See APPLES, p. 14)

Arts and Leisure Symbols as images at Middle St. Show By CHARLES PARTINGTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Symbols and ritual are the themes of the show by local artists now on display at the Middle St. Gallery in Washington. Most of the pieces, which range from oils and watercolors to metal sculptures, are centered, in one way or another, around symbols rather than ritual so I will limit this review to them. What is a symbol? And what accounts for its power? Anything can serve as a symbol. The comedian and activist Dick Gregory once remarked that if Jesus Christ had been born in the twentieth century then future Christians would be wearing little electricchairs around their necks. In and of itself the object serving as a symbol is powerless. An object becomes a symbol when it comes to represent a reality. Symbols are reminders of realities not present. The cross reminds the Christian of the “spiritual” reality which may very well be forgotten while he is occupied in the business of everyday life. The power of a symbol, whether it’s a Christian cross, a police officer’s badge, an academic title, the family photos on the businessman’s desk, or the mirror in an Islamic wedding ceremony, derives from the reality it represents and is meant to recall. A symbol, then, can be seen as one reality poking into another, and symbols tend to occur wherever two or more realities intersect. It is commonly remarked that the use and manipulation of symbols is what most clearly distinguishes the human from the other varieties of animal. If this is true it’s because human experience comes in an expandable number of frames of ideas, emotions and forms of action I am calling realities and symbols are an expression of one reality coming to terms with another. Symbols are reminders: they can tap you on the shoulder or they can catapult you into another world or perception, but above all they reflect the divisions of human experience. The symbols in the Middle St. Gallery show fall roughly into four categories: abstract symbols, borrowed symbols, personal symbols and social symbols. An abstraction can serve as a symbol only if the reality it rep resents is very clear. The swastika is an abstraction but thetworld it in- * vokes is not. The power of a symbol lies in just this relationship it has to a reality. I found the abstract sculpture “Upward and Outward” by Jeanne Drevas interesting in itself, but symbolic of nothing beyond itself. A symbol needs to be more than just suggestive, it must trigger an experience. Likewise with the grotesquely evocative work “The Seventh Moon” by Dianne Waldron: it doesn’t open up a world. The borrowed symbol is one which has been lifted out of its native setting and transplanted into another. Easy enough to do, and tempting, I suppose, since other cultures seem to be richer in symbols than one’s own, but the inevitable consequence is that the symbol, robbed of the cultural reality which confers its power, becomes a lifeless object. Two classic examples of this sterile symbol-stealing are the glass pyramids of Teri Freebome and the feathered mask entitled “CounterConservation with Road Kill” by Joel Hoyer. Pyramids are not universal symbols, they are the products of some few particular cultures and the reali Real Estate tsi iouh tiouinc Eileen M. Day realtor SHORT OR LONG-TERM LOAN? In the old days, when you financed your home with a fixed rate mortgage, it was a long-term loan— period—usually around 20 or 30 years. However in today’s super market selection of mortgages, even the fixed rate variety has a choice. A major fork in the road now involves the term (length of loan) of fixed rate mortgages. Do you choose a long term, fixed-rate loan or a short-term, early ownership variety that usually runs in the 15-year range? The principle of leverage separates the two borrowing philosophies. If you want to borrow as much as possible for as long as possible, for the lowest monthly payments, you want the leverage and should select a 30year loan. On the other hand, shorter term, fixed rate mortgages can achieve significant savings in total interest payouts and faster equity buildup. Those who can afford the slightly higher monthly payments would be wise to consider the hsorter term program and its money-saving, earlier retirement of the debt.

Si ties they stood for are probably lost to us forever. Despite claims to the contrary, pyramids do not possess the powers to heal or prolong life or even to sharpen razor blades. If the pyramid is being used to suggest a high and distant mystery then it is also not a symbol since symbols derive their thrust and impact from concrete experience. The masks surrounding the work by Joel Hoyer serve only to emphasize its pretentiousness. Whatever their masks may mean to the African or South Sea Islander, they cannot have that meaning for us. For someone grown up in western culture masks invoke not realities but vague, exotic stereotypes. The idealization of these distant cultures, so often thought to be more in touch with some universal truth than ours, is often what lies behind these fruitless borrowings. The idea of the “noble savage,” untainted by the corrupting influence of civilization, is as old as the eighteenth century. By now it is a hackneyed fantasy, a corpse of a stereotype, which should be put away for good. If the power of masks arise out of the reality they represent then how can We expect an African mask to come to life in an American art gallery? Shorn of their connection to living realities, these masks become decorative obiects. The third category of symbols displayed in the show is that of personal symbols. Personal realities generate personal symbols. Human beings exist in what William James called “a mulitplicity of realities.” Shared realities, such as political, social and religious realities, tend to settle upon a conventional store of symbols. Communication requires it. Personal symbols have no such constraints and represent the idiosyncracies sedimented over a single life. The fact that symbols do arise even in the context of a solitary mind suggests that realities need to find representation in their co-inhabitants. Two works in the show attempt to gather such symbols into works of art. And both, interestingly enough, are accompanied by written explanations. “The Dream of the Five Moons,” by Laurie Marshall, is a small oil of a stag and five moons. The intensity of the dream discussed in the written statement doesn’t come across in the painting. I am not at all sure that it is even possible to translate the personal reality of a dream, at once so immediate and unique, into a public art. The tentativeness of the painting indicates that Laurie Marshall may have doubts as well. The effort to represent the flux of personal symbols achieves heroic proportions in Robin Purnell’s “Portrait of Sally Nash.” Crystal-clear, dream-like images surround a startlingly realistic portrait of the subject. An older man, a young girl, a thrush, mushrooms, a fantastic serpent, a toy leopard and a pomegranate are among the bright images emerging from the thick foliage encircling the figure. Each is rendered with that acute clarity of something seen through the wrong end of a telescope. It’s as if each is being glimpsed through a tunnel formed by a memory and all are united only by some part they are playing or have played in some drama. Stare hard enough at this painting and the central figure itself is swallowed up in the subjectivity and becomes another image the mind is projecting upon itself. The co-existence of these images and their interplay is the mind. Through a complicated network of neural feedback mechanisms we human beings can feel and monitor all our muscular movements, including those involved with speaking and breathing. We feel ourselves move and talk and walk, but we do not feel ourselves think. When ^ an image forms there is no buzz of nerve cells to alert us to the fact, which is why brain surgery can be performed without an anaesthetic. There’s a kind of silence that surrounds the things of the mind and Robin Purnell has uncannily captured this feature of mental life in her painting. The images emerge from and then recede into the foliage without rustling the leaves. At first I was bothered by the fact that I was unable to take in all the images at once - each image asks for an undivided attention, but gradually I began to understand that this is a necessary part of the silence.

The effect is powerful and seductive, but there remains the frustration of being given the elements of a mystery without any hope of ever unravelling it. The special mix of realities that every life represents is ultimately knowable, if knowable at all, only to that single life. All these images find their integration in the single mind of Sally Nash. It’s as if we were being asked to find our way in someone else’s dream. Is the man in the painting her husband? Her grandfather? Her father? A friend? Is the girl her daughter, or herself as a young girl? And where does the toy leopard come in? And the serpent? The mind reels with the possibilities, and the impact of the painting is scattered and dispersed over too great an area to evoke a concentrated response. Still, there is enchantment there and some hidden truths about the way our brains operate. Although the final category, that of social symbols, is represented by three or four works in the show, I am going to limit this discussion to a single example, and what was, for this reviewer, the show’s most successful piece: “Resurrection” by Rex Slack. The work is a relief, a life-size depiction of a section of wall in a living room or dining room in a house that has, to put it mildly, experienced better days. Old peeling wallpaper surrounds a light switch, below is the residue of the thick velvety sort of wallpaper that used to be used as wainscoting. Off to one side is a familiar plastic icon of Christ on the cross. Embedded in the wainscoting where a piece of plaster has fallen out, leaving a hole in the wall, is a miniature of the house that contains the wall, and in front of this house is a table, on top of which is an empty box that looks as if it had just been opened. What makes this work of art is that the central symbol of Christ on the cross is clearly placed in the reality in which it has so successfully found a home. One of the reasons for the relative success of Christianity as a religion was the promise it held out for the poor. However miserable your lot in this life, your belief in Christ was your ticket to another reality. A reality in which you could shed your present misery, a reality where no one was poor and everyone equal, a reality, in fact, which was as nearly opposite the present wretched reality as oculd be imagined. Christ the symbol, Christ ‘the reminder, and, what is more, Chrfet the fellow sufferer. And the empty box? An echo of the empty tomb, the symbol of resurrection? Or the empty breadbox? Or the empty promises? '3 In very simple and transparent ways Mr. Slack shows how a religious reality insinuates itself into the everyday reality of its believers. The power of the symbol of Christ on the Cross lay in just this integral of experience and belief. Cl tianity gives the poor the oppo| nity to reframe their poverty,; miserable their misery, and thej pressed their oppression. Christ,| symbol of Christ — the gateway the other world. Marx had Christianity in when he said that religion is, opiate of the poor. What he faile appreciate and what Mr. shows so clearly in this sple< work of art is how closely ge$ was Christianity into the lives adherents, and what a perfect bol the half-god, half-man Ch^ with a foot in each world, could 1 those looking for a way out of ’ wretchedness.

GET YOUR BID FROM OTHERS - THEN COME AND SEE US.WE CAN SAVE YOU M-O-N-E-Y PTA asks help to purchase bus radios By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer A bus is approaching high water. A bus has brake failure. There is a bus accident with injured children. On a very cold, snowy morning the Gid Brown Hollow bus slides into a ditch. Two high school students are sent by the bus driver to walk a half mile to the nearest house to call the school for help. What if . . . nobody had been home - another half mile? What if . . . the driver was injured during an accident? What if... ? Rappahannock County has been faced with each of these situations. The only options the bus driver had of communicating the emergency to the school were for the driver to send a child to get help, go himself and leave a busload of children, or risk driving back to the school with a malfunctioning bus or with injured children. The RCES PTA realized the great need for a solution to this problem when Maggie Piper, the RCES principal, two years ago included bus communications equipment in her end of the year wish list to the PTA. The PTA began to act on the problem by looking into different types of communications systems available. Former Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell investigated the use of communication systems in various counties. And the ball began to roll. After many experiments and trials of different systems in all parts of the county, Superintendent Dr. David Gangel has found a system that will help to keep “bus-riding” Rappahannock students safe - the Community Shared Repeater System. The Community Shared Repeater is a high frequency system which has straight line communication (straighter than lower bands). The signal goes from where the mobile radio is to a repeater tower. The signal is received and regenerated or boosted and sent on to the base station. The repeater tower is located on Linden Mountain near Front Royal. This system is cheaper than a high power, privately owned system, according to Dr. Gangel. The repeater tower takes the place of an elaborate base station. There are ap proximately six other users of the tower and everyone who uses it pays rent on it (which helps to keep the cost low). Most of the users are commercial contractors. The Warren County school system also uses the repeater tower. However, the channel is not heavily used. If it is in use it takes only a minute for it to be clear. Dr. Gangel has tried out the radios all over Rappahannock and beyond. Communication can be made with Fairfax, Castleton, Old Hollow, other county locations and the Piedmont bus which goes to Culpeper. The only area that had limited communication was the dirt road part of Rt. 622 looping through Gid Brown to Harris Hollow. The signal was unable to pass the high Blue Ridge Mountains to reach Linden Mountain. This system can also be used for m-county communication without the boost from the repeater tower if there is no electricity. Dr. Gangel recalled an experience where this was very helpful to the community in which he lived. He lived on the Eastern Shore when Hurricane Gloria whipped through. The school’s communication system was one of two working systems in the area. There are a lot of positive points to providing buses with radios so communication can be made with the central office. Some advantages include: (1) providing communication with a field trip bus driver about an early return or other concerns; (2) enabling the central office to have communication with the Piedmont bus during its trip to Culpeper twice daily: (3) communicating road conditions during a flood or snow emergency; (4) summoning help for a bus in need more promptly; (5) the Superintendent could communicate conditions of roads on questionable bad weather days more easily, allowing an earlier notice of school closings; and (6) buses would have the capability of calling in other emergency situations that they encounter on a route other than their own. Other school divisions have had communication systems for years. The Department of Education encourages all school divisions to have some type of communication system for buses and maintenance vehicles. If radios are purchased, where would they be installed? Dr. Gangel said the first 10 high priority placements are: (1) afternoon Piedmont bus; (2) morning Piedmont bus; (3) Bus 25 (Rock Mills); (4) Allie Huffs car (he would monitor the radios in the early mornings and respond to bus emergency calls); (5) Dr. Gangel’s car (to communicate road conditions or have two way communication about finding children who rode the wrong bus; (6) Bus 17; (7) Bus 19; (8) Bus 22; (9) replacement for Bus 2; and (10) replacement for Bus 10. Why doesn’t the county provide this measure for the safety of the children? Money is part of the reason, Dr. Gangel said. Each radio costs $699. The base station costs $899. There are 19 regular buses, two field trip buses and two adminis trator’s cars which would need to be equipped and a base station purchased. The PTA is undertaking a major fundraising campaign during the month of October to raise funds for the communication system. Their goal is $5,000. If this goal is met a base station and the first five priority radios can be purchased. Rent on the tower is $30-$50 per month which the PTA will pay for this year but this will be worked into the budget for following years. Elementary school children are selling tickets for a prize to raise money for the initial radio purchase. The child who sells the most tickets will receive a $50 prize. The awarding of the $300 and announcement of the highest salesman will take place at the Halloween Sock Hop Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Any individual or business interested in donating money for the communication system may contact PTA President Cindi Andreoni at 987-8750. “I know from personal experience that a good working communication system would be a fabulous asset to the school, county and community at large,” said Dr. Gangel. “The Community Shared Repeater System is the best route at the least cost.” What if . . . your child rode on a “radio-base station” equipped bus?

Rappahannock girls have mixed week Kappahannock s Junior Varsity girls basketball team began the week on a sour note last Thursday, losing a match to Brentsville 37-28 before the home crowd at RCHS. “They were a much improved team,” Coach Ron Vickers said of the Tigers. “We beat them the first time.” “The team got off slow and stayed behind,” he added. “They did fairly well, but not as well as they could have.” Of Rappahannock’s 28 points, Sarah Bartlett contributed 10, while Edna Shanks sunk an additional six for the Panthers. One bright spot, Coach Vickers noted, was the absence of fouls. “Nobody got into foul trouble - we just didn’t do enough shooting.” George Mason falls, 26-21 Tuesday evening’s match at George Mason must have seemed like a mirror image to Coach Vickers, as the Panthers got off to a fast start and held the lead the entire game, besting George Mason on Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan RAPPAHANNOCK’S VARSITY HEADS DOWNCOURT against the Brentsville Tigers last week.

And, he said, the RCHS JV pulled off the victory while missing two of the team’s top players. Edna Shanks missed the game with a pulled hamstring, while Jennifer Pullen was sidelined with a head injury. With 44 percent shooting from the free-throw line, and the scoring evenly distributed, Coach Vickers was understandably pleased with his team’s performance. “Everybody played, and played a very aggressive defense. We made George Mason turn the ball over. I was real proud of the girls tonight; they did well and proved that we have a wellrounded team.” On offense, the Panthers all put some shots in the hoop, with Sarah Bartlett again capturing high scoring honors with eight. Gail Hitt followed with six points, Jennifer Fox with four, Susan Estes with three, Tasha Roy and Gwen Bright sunk two each, and Beth Conover contributed one point. Defensive standouts, said Coach Vickers, included top rebounder Tasha Roy, Beth Conover and point guard Crystal Jenkins, playing in that slot for the first time. “She did an excellent job. And Beth always plays a good defensive game.” The win Tuesday brings the Panther JV record to 5-6 in the Bull Run District and 5-8 overall. That record, Coach Vickers said, should earn the team a berth in the quarterfinal round of the district championships. He expressed pleasure at the team’s performances so far. “It’s a rebuilding year, and we’re doing what we should. Everybody’s playing and getting some experience.” The Rappahannock Varsity girls basketball squad lost its game Tuesday against George Mason, 45-25. Mr. Vickers said that the Panthers took a lot of shots but failed to connect with the basket. No other details were available from that game.

Owls drop Panthers in overtime, 3-2| It was an exciting day for Wakefield, as the Owls bested county rival Rappahannock in a see-saw soccer match played before Wakefield’s home, and homecoming, crowd. Afterward, both coaches had high praise for their opponents. “The entire team played a super game,” said Rappahannock Coach Scott Currie. Wakefield Coach Uli Maeyer agreed, adding that although the rivalry between the county’s only two high schools continues, it has become a much healthier competition, with the sometimes hard feelings which had surfaced in the past now only a memory. Wakefield led off the scoring with a cross-goal shot which slipped past RCHS goaltender Phillip Daczewitz. However, the Panthers answered with a score by Mark Fletcher and ended the first half with the game tied at one. In the second half, Wakefield again took the lead, but Rappahannock’s Doug Smith tied the game again with a goal on a penalty shot. The regulation game ended with the score still tied, setting up an overtime period. The Owls went into the overtime with only nine players on the field after two booters were sent to the sidelines with game-ending “red card” penalties assessed by the referees. Despite being shorthanded, Wakefield capitalized on a Rappahan nock miscue when the ball went uut of bounds at the Panthers endlne. Taking the comer shot for the Oms, Carlos Martinez-Fontana hooked'tfie ball into the goal, sailing it over fillip Daczewitz’s head for the winijihg score. j Coach Currie was disappoint id at the outcome, especially since 3 le game was Rappahannock’s seep id overtime loss of the season.

Add sugar at any time after the stirring begins if the butter is not sweet enough. Spice the butter to suit the taste and seal in Ball jars.

What selection procedures would you follow? Ron Frazier: “By electing the members of the Board of Supervisors, you have a direct influence on who your School Board member will be. If you don’t trust the supervisor’s judgement on making appointments, then don’t elect him ... I’d look for someone committed to education, with a family ... It could be beneficial but it would not be necessary to have children in the school system. Public officials give up many of their rights to privacy, but they should be able to retain their rights as parents. They should be free to choose how to educate their children.” Hubert Gilkey: “I would personally like to see these people elected . . . I would want someone interested in the schools. It would be valuable to have children in the school system. That would be a big consideration to me.” Lee Bird: “I, too, think an elected School Board would be an improvement, although our present board is working, and working well. . . In selecting a School Board member, I would look for a commitment to education established by past record . . . Having children in school would not be a prerequisite, but it would be a selection factor. I would look for someone reasonably representative of the community’s wishes regarding education . . . and a sense of community, our community, because the schools are essentially an expression of the Rappahannock County community.” Charles Estej: “I would want a well-rounded person . . . It’s a very difficult job. The rules and regulations governing the school system are very complex ... You certainly couldn’t put an imbecile in the job. I would want someone who had experience with children at some point in time, but having children in school may be a detriment. .. The children (of School Board members) sometimes have to take a lot of flack.” Mike Massie: “First, I want someone who is able to listen to the people in the district. Second, someone who can take into consideration the feelings of the v^hole county. And finally, someone who can listen to what’s in his own heart. . . Having a child in school wouldn’t be a necessity. There are many reasons why parents send their children to private schools: faith, or the child may be having academic problems in the public schools . .. But if a School Board member sends his child to another school because he thinks the Rappahannock County public schools aren’t good enough for him, then he has no business on the School Board!” Ellis Bingham: “I’m for an elected School Board.” A1 Henry: “My appointee would either have a child coming to the public school system, in the public school system or be a graduate of the t public school system ... I don’t | think you can be an effective School | Board member if you have your children in private school.” Frank Fishback: “I’d look for good character, a willingness to work for the schools, a commitment to the county and to the school system. It would not be a prerequisite to have children in the schools.” I Question: Virginia law allows the Board of Supervisors to approve the proposed school budget as a whole or by categories. In some jurisidictions, the decision to approve by categories has caused tension between the School Board, which wants to retain as much autonomy as possible, and the Supervisors, who want to exercise control of categories and it is rumored, even line items. Which would you favor? Frank Fishback: “The School Board should know what the schools need . . . The Supervisors have an obligation to review the budget, to question large increases . . . We must have cooperation between the Supervisors and the School Board.” Ron Frazier: “I favor approval by categories, rather than randomly cutting the budget and throwing it back to the School Board . . . It’s possible that a slightly inflated budget could make its way to the Supervisors . . . The prudent thing to do is go by categories. The Supervisors may say they’d like to see a little more in a certain category. I know that hasn’t happened in the past, but it might in the fiiture.” Hubert Gilkey: “The reason why the school budget has been approved by categories for the past two years is that the Supervisors felt the presentation by the superintendent - the superintendent and not the School Board - left something to be desired. We asked for certain things and we made suggestions and they were totally ignored . . . Once trust is restored, we could revert back to approval of the bottom line.” Lee Bird: “If there was no history, I would favor a bottom line appropriation. I don’t think the Board of Supervisors should be involved in the details (of the educational programs). That’s the responsibility of the School Board and the administrators ... It is also appropriate for the Supervisors to make comments and recomemndations. It was only with the failure to observe those recommendations that the Board of Supervisors switched to categorical approval.” Charles Estes: “At this point in time, I would have to say by categories . . . and we have to analyze the line items to arrive at that categorical figure ... If the School Board was elected, maybe bottom line.” Mike Massie: “Category only. I think what we have to watch out for is a superintendent who may present a padded budget, and the only way to get the fat out is by category.” Ellis Bingham: “By category, but for different reasons. It provides a system of checks and balances . . . If the county goes to an elected School Board, still by category.” A1 Henry: “More than 50 percent of the county’s expenditure goes for education... It’s very important for the Supervisors to know what’s going on in the school system and with our education dollars. By addressing the budget by categories, we get this information. It gives us a better understanding of what the school system needs.” Question: Rappahannock’s School Board has a record of staying within its budget and often has unexpended funds at the end of the year. In addition, some $10,000 to $30,000 in state aid comes in at the end of the school year under Virginia’s reimbursement schedule. Traditionally, the Supervisors have put this money in the county’s general fund. What is your opinion on spending it for the schools, either putting it towards capital improvements, using it to retire the building debt or depositing it in a general education fund? A1 Henry: “I have no problem giving it to the schools ... I just would like to know where it’s going to be spent. I want to know what’s going on.” Frank Fishback: “I have no problem giving it to the School Board, but it should be earmarked for certain projects . . . decided on jointly by the Supervisors and the School Board.” Ron Frazier: “I’m definitely in favor of returning it to the school system, whether it’s spent for educational programs or capital improvements . . . Return it to them, and maybe in the future, we won’t see an inflated budget. It would build mutual trust.” Hubert Gilkey: “I have no problem returning the money to the schools, but I’d like to see it go either to capital improvements or debt service.” Lee Bird: “It should be returned to the school system . . . The School Board and the Supervisors should agree on the purpose for which the money is to be spent.” Charles Estes: “If you have a good budget to begin with, you won’t have a vast amount left over at the end. But I have no problem with returning it to the schools. That might discourage a last-minute spending spree.” Mike Massie: “I think the money should go back to the School Board . . . No question that, this year, the need is for the capital outlay project. But in the future, I think it should go to retire the building debt.” Ellis Bingham: “It should go back under the Board of Supervisors, but the School Board chairman should have first strings on it.” Question: The Supervisors are often faced with difficult choices. With limited tax dollars, how would you rank the following: finishing the high school expansion and meeting other capital outlay needs; increasing the salaries for teachers, administrators and other school employees; expanding the general curriculum? Ellis Bingham: “Certainly we have to have a facility. I can’t address curriculum because I don’t know what’s there . . . The kids need computers, sciences, or they can’t compete in today’s job markets . . . or in college .. .But regardless of the facility, the key to the whole system is the teachers . . . and we have tb pay for this teaching. It’s the best investment this county can make ... If we want to develop leaders, our schools must produce them . .. Redblooded, Little Abner-type Americans who know what they’re about» . . If we don’t do that, we’re condemning our children to the most insidious type of slavery known to man: economic slavery . . . Teachers first, curriculum expansion second) facilities third.” ; Al Henry: “If I have a dollar tb spend on education, 40 cents would go to academics, 40 cents to salaried and 20 cents to capital expansion, if we need it.” ; Frank Fishback: “I would need more information, to sit down and look at the figures before I decided.? Ron Frazier: “Finishing the high school would be my number one priority. I would balance increases in salary with curriculum expansion, but I would need to know more about the existing curriculum and more about exactly what the expansion involved.” (See FORUM, p. 18)

Soccer (Continued from Page 13) bow. He will likely be out for the remainder of the season. Butler, a ninth grader, has been an up and coming player all season for the Panthers, and Coach Currie said he will be sorely missed. “I had to replace him, but I couldn’t really replace him. He’s good.” Wakefield will travel to RCHS for the season’s return match on Wednesday, Oct. 28. Nomads fall, 3-1 On Tuesday, Rappahannock traveled to Madison to play the Nomads, a club team which plays its home games at Madison High School. In a repeat of the earlier match, played at RCHS, the Panthers topped the Nomads, 3-1. In their first meeting Rappahannock ended up on top 5-2. Coach Currie said the game started out tight, ending the first half without a score on either side. In the second half, Greg Smith knocked in two scores for the Panthers, while Andrew Ball contributed the final tally. A tight defense, led by goalie Phillip Daczewitz, held the Nomads to a single score. • . “We outshot. dominated them” more than the score would indicate, Coach Currie said. The Panthers tpok 29 shots on goal. “The Madison goalie played a good game - we gave him some hard shots and he Was there.” : Again, the coach praised the teamwork showed by his players. “Without a lot of help from the team, we would not have had all those shots on goal. I had to look to my veterans for support, and they came through.” He noted that Doug Smith, playing at middle fullback, provided a Strength “which we vitally needed throughout the game.” And, for Andrew Ball and Greg Smith, the goals were their first of the season, “and both well overdue.” Ball played both wings before Coach Currie switched him into the middle, while accurate passing by- his teammates allowed Greg Smith to take a dozen shots on goal. “Everyone assisted well; Greg had good feeds from the entire team. Without that help, he would not have had those shots,” the coach said. Exchange student Daniel Cremers w'as also a standout, Coach Currie said. “Again, he was where I needed him, feeding the offense for shots on goal.” On Monday, Oct. 19, the Panthers face George Mason at RCHS. Rappahannock lost the first outing, but Coach Currie said he hoped for a brighter outcome this time. “I expect a tough game, but ^e’re at home and we’re going to show them what we have here.” Wakefield tops R-MA After taking care of the Rappahannock Panthers for Homecoming, Wakefield journeyed to Front Royal Monday to face Randolph-Macon Academy. In a hard-fought, tight game which went into overtime, the match ended in a 2-2 tie. Carlos Martinez-Fontana and Chris Adamson provided the two Wakefield tallies. This weekend, Wakefield’s varsity team will travel to Petersburg for the St. Vincent de Paul Invitational Soccer Tournament. In their first match of the tourney, the Owls are pitted against Bishop Ireton School of Alexandria, ranked fifth in the state of Virginia. NUGGETS OF TRUTH by William (Bill) Taylor-Pastor Family Worship Center Washington. Va. The Bible says in Romans 5:1. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." We become justified and have peace with God through faith in Christ, but if we reject Jesus and don’t accept him,, then you are rejecting God’s plafTof salvation for your life, and will suffer the judgement of God, and pay the price for your own sms according to God s word. My question to you is this. What are you going to do about Jesus, are you going to repent of sin and accept Him as your Savior, and follow Him. or are you going to reject Jesus as your Savior, and die in your sins, and pay the penalty for sin yourself? God is a righteous and just God. and sin must be dealt with, and He dealt with your sin and mine by laying them on Christ who was our substitute. That proves how much he loves you and me, but to reject his plan of salvation means I make the choice to pay for my own sin. and the Bible says for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and the judgement of God according to the Bible is eternity in Hell, separated from Him. But you don’t have to take that route, you can choose Jesus Christ and have eternal life, and live for eternity with God in heaven. What a wonderful plan of salvation God has made for us through his son Jesus. Make that right choice and surrender your life to Christ today. God loves you and I love you also. Come this Sunday to Family Worship Center and experience the Life Changing Power of Jesus Christ at 10:30 a.m. or Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. For information call pastor Bill Taylor. 9878014. DWI (Continued from Page 1) operate a motor vehicle. “It doesn’t matter whether or not you have control of the vehicle. If the test shows .10, it’s against the law to drive,” Mr. Luke pointed out. With alcohol concentrations of .05 to .10, there’s no presumption of either sobriety or intoxication, but motorists in that range can still be convicted of drunk driving should they weave back and forth in the road or show other obvious signs of impairment, the Commonwealth’s Attorney said. Dean Irvine, director of the local Alcohol Safety Action Program, explained that people respond differently to alcohol depending on their tolerance. “At .10, one person may be falling-down, sloppy, knee-walking drunk and another may show absolutely no signs of alcohol consumption.” So those who intend to drive after drinking shouldn’t try to assess their compliance with the legal limit on the basis of the way they feel, Mr. Irvine said. A more reliable method is the consumption average compiled by VASAP. “Something most people forget is that a five-ounce glass of wine, a 12ounce beer and a mixed drink with 1 1/2 ounces of 80 proof liquor all have the same alcohol content, so if you’re trying to figure out your blood alcohol concentration, you should count everything - a glass of w ine, a beer or a cocktail - as one drink,” Mr. Ir vine added. But whether it’s three Budweisers, three glasses of chablis or three whiskey sours, if the alka-sensor test administered at the road check gives a reading of .10 or above, that gives probable cause to arrest the vehicle operator for driving under the influence, explained Sgt. Dowdy. If arrested, the suspect is required to either allow blood to be drawn for laboratory analysis or take a breathalizer test, the results of which are accepted by Virginia courts. Refusal to submit to the tests can result in suspension of the suspect’s operator’s license. “The check detail is a good tool to assist in keeping drunk drivers off the roads,” Sgt. Dowdy said. “They never know when we’re coming out there so it acts as a deterrent. I’d like to set one up every Friday and Saturday night, but I can’t pull the troopers off the roads that often, so we’ll do the best we can with the manpower we’ve got.” 4-H Adventure Team meets The 4-H Adventure Team met on Wednesday, Sept. 29 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington.

In the meantime, Mrs. Sheetz had gotten out of the house. Larry Jolliffe ran to the house and dragged out Mr. Sheetz, who had fallen in the living room. Then he tried to rescue Danielle, but was unable to reach her. Mr. and Mrs. Sheetz were taken to Fauquier Hotepital by the Castleton Rescue Squad, where they were held overnight for observation. Johnny Sheetz Jr. was not injured. He was reported to be staying with relatives. According to Sheriff Woodward, Danielle’s bedroom was a porch which had been closed in, and the only entrance was from inside. With visibility near zero because of the dense smoke, the firefighters had a hard time working their way through the cluttered house to the back bedroom. Chief Poling said that an over heated extension cord was suspected as the cause of the fire, which apparently started in Danielle’s bedroom. Sheriff Woodward said that the fire damaged the structure too badly to tell whether there were smoke detectors in the home. He added that State Police Special Agent W. D. Spence had investigated the scene on Saturday, but that there was no suspicion of arson or foul play. “It was just a precaution, to make sure we had covered all the bases,” he said. Special Agent Spence said Tuesday that his preliminary investigation had concluded that the fire was accidental. Although the investigation is continuing, he said, “in the absence of any other evidence we will close the case with a finding that the fire was accidental.” He declined to discuss a specific cause. Chief Poling said that an overheated extension cord was suspected as the cause of the fire, which apparently started in Danielle’s bedroom. Both he and Sheriff Woodward said that they felt that the family would have awakened much sooner if there Forum (Continued from Page 1 7) Hubert Gilkey: “The first is not a choice. We have made a commitment to finish the high school... So we need to look at the next two. I’d put salaries first and then curriculum.” Lee Bird: “All three are necessary. We must finish the high school ... If there’s a high rate of teacher turnover, that’s an essential ingredient. There are lacks in the curriculum. For example, we only offer one language - French - at the high school. We should add Spanish ... I would rank salaries first, curriculum second and the high school expansion third. If it were a question of the completion of the building or a science lab, I would put that first, but seats for the gym could be postponed." Charles Estes: “I don’t see how a teacher can teach science without a lab, but that’s what’s been happening . . . Kids eating in three shifts, sitting on the floor in the halls so crowded you can’t walk through . . . The expansion project is deparately needed so that teachers can teach. I would put that first, salaries second and curriculum third.” Mike Massie: “It’s a given that we finish what we’ve already started . . . But if there is a vote in the future between cinder blocks and cement and teachers’ salaries, I’ll vote for the personnel . . . With good teachers and administrators, the curriculum will t^ke care of itself . . . My family has 165 years in Rappahannock County’s public schools, and I can guarantee you that they can tell you more about the teachers they had than the color of the walls in the classrooms.” The Rappahannock Elementary School PTA’s forum on educational issues was the first of three scheduled before the election.

The sheriff, who is also the chief of the Castleton VFD, said that he felt that considering the distance involved, fire apparatus had arrived on the scene “pretty quickly.” The call was received and companies alerted at 10:41 p.m. The first unit responded from Amissville at 10:45 and arrived on the scene at 10:54. Additional fire and rescue equipment from Amissville, Castleton and Washington Volunteer Fire Departments also responded. “As far as the firefighting operation went,” Chief Poling said, “there were no problems. The firefighters did all they could.” Rappahannock Social Services Director Sylvia Kreitler said that her office is coordinating donations for the Sheetz family. All their possessions were destroyed in the fire, and Mrs. Kreitler said that any donations of food, clothing, furniture, linens and towels or appliances would be welcomed. “They basically have to furnish an entire house,” she said. As far as clothing is concerned, Mrs. Rreitler said, Mrs. Sheetz wears a size 46 blouse, size 38 pants and size 9 shoes. Mr. Sheetz needs pants with a 24-inch waist and size 15 shirts. Their 10-year-old son wears size 10 shirts and pants and size 3 1/2 shoes. Mr. Sheetz is also in need of canes, crutches and braces. Anyone who would like to make a donation of any kind should contact Social Services at 675-3326. This weekend, a number of general stores throughout the county had begun their own fund drives, with jars requesting contributions to help the family. Store owners reported the community had responded generously to requests for help. Mr. Sheetz is employed at Vint Hill Farms Station in Fauquier County. A fund also has been set up there. Donations may be sent to Vint Hill Farms Credit Union c/o Johnny Sheetz, P. 0. Box 1528, VHFS, Warrenton, Va. 22186. For more information about that fund, call William Dougall (347-6734). Lee’s appointment may be invalid To remove the cloud hanging over Bryant Lee’s appointment to the School Board, the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors will repeat the public hearing process on Monday, Oct. 19, and again consider nominees for representative from Hampton District. The move comes at the recommendation of Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke who found Mr. Lee’s appointment possibly invalid under a revision to the Virginia Code which took effect six days prior to the board’s action. Supervisor Newbill Miller’s choice, Bryant Lee, was not one of the five candidates from the earlier public hearing; his name, in fact, had not been mentioned. That presented no legal impediment in June, but by the time of his actual appointment in July, the rules had changed. As Mr. Luke explained, a sentence had been added by the General Assembly to the regulations governing School Board appointments and it stipulated that whoever was appointed had to have been considered at the required public hearing. “I can’t be 100 percent positive since the Board of Supervisors started the process under the old law, but it was probably not a valid appointment,” Mr. Luke said. “There was no wrongful intent on the board’s part. It was just one of those fluky things. The law changed and nobody knew anything about it until after the fact.” Mr. Luke declined to say who brought the code revision to his attention. Those interested in being considered for the appointment are being asked to submit their names in writing to the Clerk’s Office. Mr. Luke said he has also advised the board to add any nominations made at the Oct. 19 public hearing to that written list with the name chosen as the Hampton District representative to come off the list. Mr. Lee will resign, effective midnight, Oct. 18. “I told them that the best thing was for me to resign,” Mr. Lee said in a telephone interview Monday night. “The way it was, my being on the board was no good at all/' He confirmed that he is a candidate for the seat.
