According to Mr. Chadwell, most of the 40-some landowners who had appointments with the Board of Assessors on Monday and Tuesday had looked at the notices that arrived by mail last week, mutiplied the value placed on their house and land by this year’s tax rate of 69 cents per $100 and hit the roof at what they thought would be the sky high increase in next year’s bill. “But once we explain that the tax rate will be coming down, they understand.” Under the new assessments, the Board of Supervisors will be able to lower the local tax rate significantly and still generate the same amount of revenue, he pointed out. Mr. Chadwell and members of the local Board of Assessors balked at putting a number to the average increase in property values county-wide. “No figures!” in stated Chris Parrish, the board’s representative from Jackson District. “It’s dangerous to quote averages. If someone reads that the average is 20 percent and his has gone up by 35 percent, he’ll complain that he’s being treated unfairly.” “Some went up a little bit and some went up a lot,” Mr. Parrish continued. “Percentages are totally irrelevant.” In many cases, the amount of increase depended on how far under-assessed the property was in the reevaluation six years ago, the board members and Mr. Chadwell agreed. “The last reasessment was inaccurate,” Mr. Parrish maintained. This time around, at least one member of the Board of Appraisers (Mr. Parrish, Peggy Clark, Bill Lyne, Jimmy DeBerg and chairman E.P. Luke) looked at every “standing structure” in the county. They reviewed — and adjusted where necessary — the value set on land and structures by Mr. Chadwell before the assessment notices were sent out. In 1981, however, the work was done by a state appraiser and values were gone over by the members of the local Equalization Board ONLY when complaints were lodged by landowners. “If they didn’t complain, it stayed on the books as is. Some of the assessments were so under, they didn’t need to complain,” Col. Luke “Some went up a little bit and some went up a lot. Percentages are totally irrelevant.” — Chris Parrish Board of Assessors said. While it is those under-assessed structures and parcels that saw the biggest increase in the new appraisal, the worth of properties in general has gone up considerably, in keeping with fair market value as defined by sales, according to the assessment board. “Some people will be surprised at how much the value of property in Rappai-; hannock has climbed . . . They should re£* member that this is the first reassessment in six years. The change in the property^ value doesn’t represent the difference b^s tween last year and this year but betweetC 1981 and 1987,” noted Mr. Parrish. “In sin; years, land values aren’t the only thing; that has gone up. So has the cost of build-' ing.” In determining worth of land and* buildings, Mr. Chadwell followed guidelines set by the Board of Supervisor*; and looked at comparable sales to arrive at “fair market value. ” “Our hands are tied to a certain degree,” said Mr. Chadwell. “By law, we. have to use sales figures.” The only trans-; actions excluded from consideration were family transfers and public auctions, he (See ASSESSMENT, p. 18) Council tables requests for special use permits By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Faced with opposition and questions about two special use permits requested at its October meeting, Washington’s Town Council temporized. The two applications are the first considered by the council since the town’s new' zoning ordinances were approved in August 1986. The first, a request from Lewis and Alice Butler, was for a utility pole to be erected on their property off Blue Ridge Ave., which will supply power to a home under construction there. Mrs. Butler told the council that they had been trying for a year to get power to the house, and the overhead lines and new poles are the only alternative they have left. The request prompted lively discussion among the five- council - members present, mtmm Wmj-tww made known their wish to eventually replace the overhead lines with buried power cables throughout the town. A committee has been discussing the possibility of just such a move with Potomac Edison. “The purpose of making the placement of utility poles a special use permit request was to handle the awful placement of the poles, not to eliminate the possibility of power getting to any home in town,” said Councilman William Wickens. Attorney Frank Reynolds explained that the power company could — by right — supply power to the home during construction with a pole, but that if it was to become a permanent installation the special use permit would be required. Mrs. Butler replied that they had been told by Potomac Edison that it would cost them $4,000 to have the pole and lines strung for temporary power and then removed. “We’re not in a postion to pay that, so “I am concerned that we could be setting someone up for a lawsuit... because their special use permit was not approved correctly. ■ — William Wickem Council member now we’re trying thiB.” She added that an engineering firm had quoted her a price of between $2,000 and $2,500 to run an underground line across the road. Plus, she added, it would require the permission of the highway department and the property owner across the street. Mayor Dean Morehouse pointed out that the establishment of a precedent by allowing a new pole after expressing a desire to get all the lines buried, although a consideration, did not necessarily present a problem. “Each case should stand on its own,” he said, pointing out that the Butlers’ house was already under construction when the ordinance was changed last summer. Council member Peter Skowronski indicated that, as an adjoining landowner, he would abstain from the vote. But, he added, he had not received notification of the Butlers’ application, which the ordi nance requires be sent to all neighboring landowners. Mr. Skowronski also suggested that the decision be postponed, reminding the council that it has 60 days in which to act. If no action is taken in that period, the permit is automatically approved. Mr. Skowronski suggested that the possibility of burying the line across the street be re-explored, saying that he felt it would be possible to do it at considerably less than the price quoted by Perry Engineering. “I'd like to check into it — I don’t see any real need to rush.” Mrs. Butler replied that “in another month, with bad weather coming on, we will run into problems with trenching.” Council member Evelyn Willis told her, “I’m not saying that we should take the full 60 days, but let’s “You will get power," Mr. Wickens assured her, “one way or another." “I don’t anticipate a problem,” Mayor Morehouse added. “I’d just like to see Potomac Edison do a little more for a little less. ” “We wish you luck,” Mrs. Butler said. Mayor Morehouse requested that the record show that the Butlers’ construction project, begun before the zoning ordinance was changed, had presented a special circumstance for the council to consider. The council also set a special meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 28, to reach a final decision on the Butlers’ request. The second special use permit application, brought before the council by Rae Haase for the operation of a natural foods and gourmet specialties shop in a house on Gay St. across from Trinity Church, also (See COUNCIL, p. 18) Senate, House of Delegate candidates on the issues Chase vows responsiveness to 26th District constituents By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer William C. Chase Jr. says he will be more available to the voters than State Sen. Kevin G. Miller. “It’s a matter of accessibility — that’s the biggest reason why I’ve gotten in,” said Mr. Chase, explaining why he is challenging the incumbent Republican for the 26th Legislative District seat. “The counties haven’t had any input. We always thought in terms of who is our delegate, but that’s ridiculous, because we have a senator, too ... I don’t know whether it’s arrogance or indifference, but something makes the man unresponsive,” Mr. Chase said of Sen. Miller. “Responsiveness to the people is the key to this job,” said the Democrat and chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. “Poli ticians belong to the people. They put you in office, they pay your salary, and they decide whether you stay or not. If I get a call from someone in Rappahannock County, I’ll drive over and see them, not make them come to see me. If they call at two in the morning, I’ll talk to them. I may not like it, but they’re my boss. “You can’t always give them the decision that’s popular, but you can sit down and explain why you’ve arrived at what you have; the situation. I’ve found most people to be understanding, even if they don’t necessarily agree . . . I’ve made friends and enemies, but I don’t think that I’ve ever had anyone say that I didn’t respond to them.” Mr. Chase’s other focus, for what (See CHASE, p. 17) Sen. Miller proud to wear label of‘Mr. Conservative’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncw» Staff Writer Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R-26) proudly wears his conservative credentials on his sleeve. “Conservative,” said the senator, who faces an agressive challenger in William C. Chase, a Democrat and chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. “That’s what other people call me.” The first-term incumbent state senator notes his ranking by the Virginia Conservative Education and Research Institute, which monitors voting records on a score of key bills and iasuegfto prove his point. “Every year, they’ve put me as the most conservative or the next most conservative (behind Senator Onico Barker of Danville).” Philosophically conservative to the bone, he believes that: "The best government is the least government.” “Beyond the minimum laws required to raise revenue and regulate commerce, laws regulating our conduct should be limited and primarily designed to prevent encroachment upon the individual citizen’s life, liberty, property rights, health and safety . . . Government should do only those things that people can’t do for themselves,” he said in a recent interview. Sen. Miller counts himself among Virginia’s successful legislators. “I’ve sponsored and gotten passed some pretty significant bills that are important and controversial.” In the last session, he introduced (See MILLER, p.17) Veteran Guest unopposed in run for 31st District seat By LOU HATTER Rwwnnck New* Staff Writer Seeing the role of the Republicans in the Democrat-controlled House of Delegates as a “questioning force,” minority leader Raymond R. (Andy) Guest said that by presenting alternatives to legislation offered by the majority party, “we can come up with a better legislative product.” Since being elected by the GOP caucus to the minority leader’s position following the Democratic sweep of the top three elective offices in the state, “we’ve made good strides in the past two years. With new members melding into the caucus, we’re trying to increase our effect, communicate better and pull together,” Del. Guest said. He is running unopposed for the second consecutive time in the 31st District, which includes Rappahannock, Warren, Clarke and part of Fauquier counties. The 16-year veteran predicted the GOP would gain a few seats in both the state House and Senate, “but I’m not sure how strong” the net gain will be. He said the “bombshell” announcement by U. S. Sen. Paul Trible that he would not run next year for a second term as the junior senator from Virginia diverted attention from some other Republican races around lithe state, but Del. Guest refused^ to go along with predictions that the decision spells the end of Sen. Trible’s political career. “He is well-respected, well DEL. ANDY GUEST C known; had he and Chuck Robb had a campaign for the Senate seat, he had a good chance. “It had to be an emotional decision. As time passes we will learn more about what is going on,” Del. Guest said. “In the near term, his future is certain — he will spend more time with his family.” In the long term, “time will tell.” Del. Guest, who through his long career has been steadfastly opposed to mandates which force localities to pay for programs required by the state, continued that opposition. ~ He suggested the $160 million surplus which the state received this year as a result of changes in the federal income tax structure should be (See GUEST, p. 5)

Student increase will bring more money The downward trend in enrollment in Rappahannock’s public schools has ended, according to figures presented by Superintendent David Gangel at last Tuesday’s School Board meeting. “After a 10-year decline, attendance is up,” Dr. Gangel announced. We ve taken a hard look at the average daily membership, population trends and building starts, and using the best crystal ball we can make, we’re projecting 50 over (last year’s estimate).” J Mn,~ber?hip for this September was 947 and Dr. Gangel expects the figure to be 931 in March, the point at which the state takes a reading to determine how much the county will ™*ivein per-pupil funding for 198788. This year’s budget was built on membership of 881; the additional ^ mean approximately $112,500 above what was expected in state aid for education, based on the per pupil allotment of $2,250. “When the ADM (average daily membership) changes, the county’s power for education changes,” the superintendent noted. If the funding comes through as projected, the School Board will have to seek an additional appropriation from the Board of Supervisors before it can be spent. The School Board members indicated that they wiH ask for authority to use the money to cover the shortfall in the high school expansion project. Also on Tuesday, the board formally accepted the offer of the elementary school PTA to provide a radio communcations system for the school bus fleet. Dr. Gangel said he expects at least five radios “and maybe more” to be installed this year, with priority given to buses making the morning and afternoon runs to Piedmont Technical Center in Culpeper and to buses covering routes through Rock Mills and into the hollows where drivers may encounter problems with high water or icy road conditions. In addition, school cars assigned to the superintendent and the transportation supervisor are at the top of the list to be fitted with radios. The “relatively inexpensive” community-shared repeater system will also include a base station at the School Board office, Dr. Gangel said. Chairman Beverly Massie asked how maintenance will be handled. “The first year, it wfll be the i*esponsibility of the PTA,” the superintendent replied. For subsequent years, he recommended that the School Board include the upkeep and rental of the communications tower in its budget, a cost he estimated at $600 annually. “I’d like for the PTA to take care of the maintenance on the hardware but we may, in the fu ture, have to absorb that,” he said, adding that the RCES Parent-Teacher Association plans to eventually equip all buses with radios. “We thank the PTA for their interest in safety programs for the school children,” said Mrs. Massie. “We look forward to working with them on other projects.” In addition to its offer to provide radios, the PTA also relayed a request to the School Board for (1) publication of the agenda for monthly board meetings in the Rappahannock News and (2) time alloted in the agenda for public input on issues being considered BE, FORE decisions are made. “I have no problem at all with publication of the agenda,” Dr. Gangel said, adding, however, that any agenda published a week prior to the monthly board meeting would be a draft and therefore subject to change. Mrs. Massie noted that the School Board’s policy manual specifies that anyone wishing to speak should contact the superintendent a week prior to a board meeting in order to be included on the agenda. “We always try to give an opportunity to anyone with a particular interest or concern to share those with the board.” In addition, she pointed out that time is given at the end of the board meetings for question and comment on any business conducted that evening. Asked for his recommendation, Dr. Gangel said opening the floor to the public at the beginning of the meetings might be considered but he advised against allowing reaction from individuals as the board moves through its agenda. “That would drag out the meetings.” “Handle it as you see fit, Dr. Gangel,” Paul Nichols replied. In other action, the board: • adopted a maternity leave policy recommended by the superintendent which provides for the duration of leave to be agreed upon by the teacher, her doctor and the superintendent. • approved the 1987-88 field trip calendar. • accepted a bid of $7,345 for biology lab equipment. The single bid received is under the $8,000 to $10,000 anticipated for the item. • accepted the audit of the activity funds at both schools. • approved a resolution clearing the way for the Virginia Department of Transportation to complete work on the high school parking lot should efforts to find a local contractor prove unsuccessful. • filled coaching vacancies, approved a list of substitute teachers and accepted the resignation of a high school cafeteria worker following an executive session. Health Dept, asks county to build new offices Regional director John Einerson. wants the supervisors to build new offices for the crowded Rappahannock County Health Department. But the supervisors, facing increasing revenue demands for education and solid waste disposal, prefer that the search continue for rental property to ease the space crunch. At October’s board meeting, Dr. Einerson reported that the state’s evaluating team found the Rappahannock offices “unacceptable” in 1984. “Now we’re even more crowded,” he said. The evaluating team’s main criticism is that “the facility doesn’t lend itsfclf to efficient processing of clinic patients.” Primary needs center on another examining room and a waitiitg room for patients, he told the supervisors. ^ The Health Department is currently using 1,170 square feet in the historic Clopton House in the center oC Washington. “Even if the room arrangement was optimal, we still wouldn’t have enough space,” Dr.. Epierson said, adding that 1,800 square feet are.naeded to house pror grams which now include a new maternity clinic. “We could rent space from someone who will renovate a structure to our specifications, but there is another option: a capital improvements program.” The county could construct new offices and amortize the expense over 25 years, with the local share amounting to around a third of the total cost, he added. Citing Greene County’s recent experience, he said that a prefabricated building could be erected at a “very reasonable” cost to the locality. According to figures presented to the board, a 2,500 square foot building would cost $110,000 to be amortized over 25 years at $4,400 annually with the state paying $3,057 of that and the county responsible for $1,342. But administrative assistant John McCarthy pointed out that the estimated $44 per square foot construction cost may be low; that the projection doesn’t include interest charges and that the current formula which has the state paying 70 percent and the county 30 percent of the Health Department’s costs is subject to change at any time. “If the county is going to build, where are we going to build?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “Where is a lot the county owns that we can put this building on?” The open land in the courthouse complex is already being used as septic drainfields for existing offices, he said. In addition, Mr. Miller noted that Washington is designated as an historic district and has an historic district ordinance. “Any structure should be compatible with that ordinance. Is this one?” Eugene Full, the Health Department’s regional administrative manager, raised the possibility of putting the prefabricated building on school property. “If it was any place but behind the bus shop, it would infringe upon the athletic fields,” Supervisor Nelson Lane countered. “Obviously, our first choice is a new building,” said Mr. Full, but he added that real estate agent Eileen Day is investigating rental possibilities. According to the figures he' gave thewsupervisors, 1*800 square feet of rented offices would cost the county $3,295 annually, more than double his projection on the yearly bill to amortize new construction. Currently, the Health Department’s square foot rental cost works out to about $4.90; Mr. Full estimated that would jump to $6 a square foot for new rented space. Supervisor A1 Henry questioned the accuracy of his projections for new construction. “Our actual cost would be substantially higher,” said Mr. Henry, predicting that purchasing land, putting up even a prefab building and including interest payments in the amortization would add seven to 10 cents to the real estate tax rate. “It would be at least $12,500 a year under today’s conditions,” agreed Supervisor Miller. By consensus, the board asked Dr. Einerson to continue searching for rental offices as the first alternative to solving the Health Depart(See SPACE, p. 18) ^ _ I Two seek Board seat After Monday’s public hearing, the Board of Supervisors has two candidates.for Hampton District’s seat on the county School Board: Bryant Lee and Peter Kreyling. Mr. Lee, an orchardist and fanner who graduated from Rappahannock County High School, was named to the School Board last July 6 but a revision to state law which took effect on July 1 invalidated his appointment. (The sentence added to the code stipulates that a School Board appointee must have been considered at the required public hearing held prior to filling the vacancy. Mr. Lee’s name was not among those discussed at the public hearing June 22 on the Hampton District vacancy.) Following the advice of Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Mr. Lee resigned as of midnight, Oct. 18. He announced, however, that he is seeking reappointment. “I’ve been concerned about the county’s educational system for a number of years,” said Peter Kreyling, the single attendee at Monday’s hearing. “I see this as an opportunity to make a contribution.” Mr. Kreyling cited his experience in education - he is a graduate of Drexel University with a BS in electrical engineering and a minor in psychological counseling, and he worked as an audiovisual technician and counselor at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and Glaydin School in Leesburg - and his business experience and “money managing skills” gained through running his own contracting business in Rappahannock County. In response to questions from Supervisor Charles Estes, Mr. Kreyling said that he and his wife have a year-old child and are expecting another and that he assumed both will be attending Rappahannock’s public schools. Asked how long he’s been a resident of Rappahannock, Mr. Kreyling replied 13 years, adding that he is a landowner and has recently built a residence in Tiger Valley. “I know Peter and I hold him in high regard,” said Hampton District Supervisor Newbill Miller. “But right now, I’m leaning toward reappointing Bryant Lee. I knew he had the potential to be a good School Board member when I appointed him the first time.” “I’ve had good feedback on him,” interjected Supervisor Nelson Lane. “You’d be surprised at the positive reaction I’ve had (to Mr. Lee’s appointment) from people who had been in favor of other nominees,” Mr. Miller said. The board will meet again next Monday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m. to fill the vacancy in Hampton District. Traditionally, the supervisor in whose district the vacancy occurs makes the nomination and the choice is honored by the other board members with a unanimous vote for appointment. Wakefield SAT prep studied Dr. Joseph White, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Clarke County, and the principal of Clarke County High School spent a day at Wakefield School last week trying to learn how the private school prepares its students for the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The SAT is one of the nrugor standardized tests admistered to high school students nationwide, and is required by most colleges as part of the admissions procedure. According to Wakefield’s Headmaster, Dr. William Lynn Jr., the school’s students currently average 670 on the verbal part of the SAT, and score an average of 570 on the math section. The national and state averages for the test are approximately 430 for verbal and 450 for mathematics. In 1986, Wakefield had the highest percentage of National Merit Semifinalists in its senior class of any school, public or private, in Virginia. Dr. White told Dr. Lynn that he wanted to find out what Wakefield is doing which makes its students perform consistently above average, and to try to apply it where possible to the schools in Clarke County. Dr. White spent several hours with Dr. Lynn reviewing texts, meeting teachers and discussing curriculum and teaching methods. Dr. Lynn said that he found the exchange very fruitful and is impressed by Dr. White’s determined effort to improve his school’s stand- ; ing in an area vital to student aca- * demic success.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1987 Editorial Commendable candor — again • The Board of Supervisors has publicly praised Rappahannock’s new superintendent of schools for bringing candor and honesty back to the dealings between local government officials and local school administrators. We, too, find much to compliment after Dr. David Gangel’s first few months on the job. Rappahannock’s grapevine is buzzing with stories that give teachers and parents alike reason to have renewed confidence in the administration of our public schools. That in itself is cause for celebration. But the grapevine, although proven an effective and accurate communications system, is still only hearsay, so we’ll direct the applause to what’s on the record. When the new superintendent faced a crisis with possible asbestos found by a construction crew at the high school the week before school began, he wasted no time in making the discovery public. Dr. Gangel contacted a member of the Rappahannock News staff at home that Tuesday evening to be sure that the discovery made the paper that week. He provided all the information that he had at that point, and was direct and candid in admitting that he didn’t have all the answers to the reporter’s questions. Thankfully, by the week’s end the problem had turned out to be less serious than first feared, and Dr. Gangel, with obvious relief, got that information out promptly as well. ( To the agenda for School Board meetings, Dr. Gangel has padded two items that will work'toimprove the county’s -educational program. - - - ; The first is an in-service program for the School Board ^members. Last month, Kathleen Calvert talked about what is going on in the various special education programs. This pnonth, assistant high school principal Bemie Chesshir Reviewed the athletic program at RCHS. These in-service sessions give the board members information and an opportunity to direct questions to the administrator in Charge. What they learn will help them function more •effectively as leaders in the effort to provide Rappahannock’s lyoung people with quality education. At the October board meeting, Dr. Gangel inaugurated “focus on instruction.” Seventh-grade science teacher Lynne Baines gave a brief overview of what she covers during the year and then her students talked about their current projects and demonstrated their “toys,” the compound microscopes and microprojectors used in the class. Here was more information for the School Board and a valuable opportunity for youngsters to speak in public, as well as an exposure to local government at work. In addition, parents who don’t ordinarily attend meetings came to bring their children. Congratulations, Dr. Gangel, for coming up with ways to promote better understanding of our educational programs and greater support for the public schools. ; And on a more personal note as journalists, we want to thank the newr superintendent, first for speaking English instead of “Educationalese” and second for providing Rappahannock News reporters with informational folders holding more than the minutes of last month’s board meeting. ♦Both make our job much easier. t On the basis of what Dr. Gangel has accomplished in •three months here, we look forward to his achievements in jthe years ahead. • m i jPreservation » !

Commentary luppaiunnocK news pnouvLou Hatter* Rappahannock Heritage AT SUNRISE on an early fall morning, ground fog hugs the lowlands outside Washington. Letters to the editor Del. Guest defends the Va. Horse Center To the editor: I have been asked to comment on recent Letters to the Editor appearing in various area newspapers concerning the Virginia Horse Center and the role of Senator Kevin Miller in the designation of the site in Rockbridge County as the “Virginia Horse Center.” Senator Howard Anderson of Halifax, who was chairman of the Agricultural Opportunities Study Commission, requested in 1979 that I sponsor a study resolution concerning the desirability and feasibility of there being a Virginia Horse Center. This concept was one of the recommendations of that Study Commission. For a number of years a joint subcommittee, made up of members from both the House of Delegates and the Senate as well as appointees of the Governor, conducted various studies and held public hearings on this subject. The joint subcommittee came to the conclusion that a Virginia Horse Center was, in fact, a desirable entity and that after three start-up years, it would be economically viable and self-sustaining. A total of eight site proposals were made to the joint subcommittee and the membership of that joint subcommittee visited all eight of the sites and met with the proponents of each proposal. At the conclusion of that tour the joint subcommittee met at the Holiday Inn in Culpeper and unanimously concluded that the Rockbridge County site, consisting of 361 acres of varied terrain fronting on the Maury River, should be the one selected for the Virginia Horse Center. Accordingly, in the following ses Praise when they’re good! To the editor: This being my second year as. a school bus driver, my seventh or eighth year of substitute teaching, not to mention being the mother of four (wonderful) children, I am in daily observation of what our children in this county are doing. So often as adults and parents we see and voice our opinions when the children do some mischievous things. I say mischievous because I refuse to believe there are any bad children in Rappahannock County, especially when I hear and read of other counties. The children on my bus are very important to me. They’re always ready to give from the heart, to help someone in need and to be extra nice to each sion of the General Assembly Senator Howard Anderson introduced a bill on the Senate side and I introduced a bill on the House side which would create and designate the Virginia Horse Center. After a public hearing in the House Agriculture Committee, the House bill passed the House with one dissenting vote and was sent to the Senate. During the same time period, and after a public hearing in the Senate Agriculture Committee, the Senate bill passed the Senate with no dissenting vote. After the Senate’s public hearing on the House bill, the Senate unanimously passed the House bill and Senator Anderson requested that his bill not be signed into law. Public hearings were held both by the joint subcommittee during its proceedings and by the House and Senate committees on both bills. If memory serves me correctly, Senator Miller was co-sponsor on the Senate bill, which, as I stated, did pass the Senate unanimously. Throughout the joint subcommittee’s proceedings representatives of the horse industry, the various breeders associations and the Virginia Horse Shows Association continually put forth the idea of the necessity of more drawing cards to bring more out of state competitors to Virginia. With the advent of more facilities working together and coordinating their shows, there can be an active Virginia circuit and all facilities can benefit from this activity. I hope this sheds more light than heat on this topic. DEL. ANDY GUEST JR. Front Royal other. The first year I drove the bus Amanda Clark was given a special certificate for going out of her way to make a new student feel welcome on the bus. It was signed by the Superintendent and Assistant Superindendent, which made it extra special. Two times this year the children have given donations to help purchase flowers for two families who had a death in the family (all coming from the heart). I don’t remember (in two years) seeing Daniel Pullen having a snack on the bus that wasn’t shared with the little ones who sat near him. Rappahannock has the best! So I say “Say so, when they’re doing good too!” RUTH WILLIAMS Sperry ville Lottery stimulates gambling To the editor One of the main arguments for state lotteries is that legalization will decrease illegal gambling. The evidence shows it will stimulate illegal gambling. Sean McWeeney, chief of the Organized Crime Section of the Criminal Investigative Division of the FBI, summarized one of legal gambling’s problems. “The major problem is credit,” Mr. McWeeney said. “Legal gambling creates new gamblers who switch over to illegal gambling when their money supply is exhausted.” “. . .Matching the illegal game against the legal lottery is like two guys in a boxing ring, one with an arm tied behind his back,” said Howard Klein, associate publisher of Gaming Business magazine. “Washington’s illegal numbers racket is booming. . . despite the introduction of the District’s first legal gambling,” according to D.C. police officials. Preprinted slips intended for use in legal games have been used in illegal games in D.C., according to Dr. Larry Braidfoot, author of “Gambling: A Deadly Game.” This makes r arrest and prosecution almost inftj : possible. ^ ?» In 1978, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations reported that lottery operators had clear links with organized crime farm ilies in Florida and in the New York? /New Jersey areas. Dr. Braidfoot concluded: “Estate lishment of lotteries does not carry with it sufficient funding... to guarj antee the honesty of the game and to control the growth of illegal gambling. It has long been recognized that the two goals - maximization of revenue (from state-operated loG teries) and crime control - are not compatible.” Why were two women, one a doer tor, recently strangled to death in Richmond? Is that city’s high crime rate partly due to illegal gambling? - Why are transcripts not available of testimony at the lottery hearings in Richmond? * Income from illegal gambling, estimated at $22 billion in 1980, prte vides seed money for drug traffic^ according to Dr. Braidfoot. ; samuel askinsjr; Cleveland, VA ; 1 Looking for family To the editor: I am an active genealogist, an elementary school teacher of 16 years and an adult adopted woman who has recently completed a three-year search for my natural parents. My success includes discovering my Southern heritage, of which I am extremely proud, on my father’s side. My paternal ancestor, John Legge, settled in Fairfax County in 1630, and had come from England. Someday I plan to visit Virginia to learn more about the state’s rich history as well as to do more research on my own ancestry. I would be most interested in corresponding with anyone in your area with the surnames Legge (Legg) or Waple to learn more about my family tree. I left the Washington, D.C., area (where I was born on Sept. 23, 1945) in 1948, so therefore have practically no contacts in your state. My father, who died recently, was a retired policeman who served 23 years in D.C. Specifically, I am seeking any photos or information about my grandparents Thomas Sumpter Legge and Lelia Alfreda (Waple) Legge, who at one time lived in Culpeper, then in Fairfax County, near Oakton. Also, I am looking for a 1927 Oakton High School yearbook. I could not ask my father for help because he died six months before I discovered his identity and location. I am writing a book about my search and need as much information about your area as possible. Any help would be deeply appreciated. MARY LOUISE FOESS 4710 Cottrell Road, Rte. 5 Vassar, MI 48768 Please help the PTA To the editor The RCES PTA is currently sponsoring a fund raising effort in order to purchase a bus communication system for the county public schools. Bus drivers have never had a way to call for help in case of accident or breakdown. Sending or leaving children alone to go get help or waiting until a motorist happens by are not acceptable options for ensuring the safety of our children. The bus communication system is a critical need for our school buses and our children. We %eed everyone’s help. Tax deductible contributions may be sent to Rappahannock Elementary SchodJ, Sperry ville, VA 22740. Your help is greatly appreciated. CINDY ANDREONI President, RCES PTA

Guest (Continued from Page 1) used to fund the state’s Standards of Quality in Education. “We’ve made good progress in education — we need to continue.” - But, “to the extent that the surplus can be identified as due to the federal tax changes, in both legislative and intellectual honesty that money should be returned to the taxpayers.” Another priority, Del. Guest said, is increased funding for mental health. “We’ve got to do it. Look around us; you can see the. . . unmet needs out there. We’ve got to take care of our own. I’ve expressed my support (of the issue) to the governor, and I expect we’ll hear something in his budget message.” Support for the aging is another of Mr. Guest’s priorities. As with mental health funding, he favors the money be allocated to the local Community Services Center boards to be applied to programs as they see fit. “It’s better done that way. The needs in Rappahannock County may be different than those in Fauquier or Clarke or Warren.” Solid waste management has recently taken the spotlight, not only in Virginia’s Piedmont but across tl)e country. v The most important concern, Bel. Guest emphasized, “has got to bd the preservation and protection of water supplies and air quality. We Have to protect the public health.” He said that he would support £he state taking an early role in reviewing a locality’s application for a &ndfill site, as well as supplying technical expertise to provide guidance on the suitability of a particular location. “I don’t think, however, that the state should be the one siting the landfill. That is a decision which 0»ust be made locally.” < As far as state funding assistance lor solid waste management, he said there are so many variables involved — land price, design of each facility and the cost of construction — that “rural counties, like with transportation, end up with the tail end of the stick. The suburban counties get most of the money.” He added that he would support the state supplying extra money for k* regional disposal facility, much as the state’s funding for regional jails, “but it has to be a county initiative” to apply for the funds. Del. Guest took a firm stand on development planning, including local input on state plans for road expansion. "It is incumbent on local people to attend the (Department of Transportation’s) pre-allocation hearings and give their opinions. ” On the local level, “it might be necessary, in master plans and zoning ordinances, for the Board of Supervisors to say, ‘We can’t rezone, our roads can’t support it’.” The outer beltway or western bypass proposal, “makes very little sense, if at all,” Del. Guest said, “until we have an eastern bypass first,” using the Route 301 corridor. “If the through traffic can be diverted using that route, there might be less need for a western route. That might ease the congestion on the feeder roads in the western D.C. suburbs.” Given that people, and development, follow the extension of roads and sewer networks, Del. Guest said the larger question is whether high density development should be allowed to proceed “helter-skelter” in an area where everyone depends on wells and septic. He added there once again is the question of groundwater. “It’s a real consideration, particularly in Rappahannock, Warren and Clarke, because of the limestone geology. In this region it should be mandatory that roads and sewers be planned at the same time.” Groundwater studies, he said, are underway by both the Virginia Water Study Commission, which was formed at the direction of the General Assembly, and the Center for Water Studies at Virginia Tech. With growing local tax bills meeting head to head with declining farm revenues, there have been predictions of an uncertain future for the state’s land use taxation system, where Agricultural and Forestal Districts, Horticultural Districts and land reserved for recreation or open space uses is assessed at a far lower tax rate than its fair market value. In addition to the loss of tax revenue to localities, the system also has left rural counties with a shortfall in money for education since the complex distribution formula uses the lower land use tax value rather than the full value assessment. Mr. Guest has tried unsuccessfully to convince the legislature to change the formula, which he maintains has left the “tax versus the ability to pay considerably out of whack.” Transfer of development rights is a concept which allows a landowner (See GUEST, p. 18) This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Oct. 26,1967, edition A public auction will be staged Saturday, November 4, at the Flint Hill fire hall for the benefit of Flint Hill Fire Department.

51" vr * Time for self important By JOHN B0R6ENS Rappahannock New* Contributinf Writer Busy, busy, busy! r‘ ‘ It seems that more and more pfeot|!e I talk with complain about be•ifig too busy. It seems that we have teen trained that if we are not busy thkt somehow we are not worthwhile as individuals ^ Speaking personally, I find that the older I get the less free time I have and the more my schedule gets filled up with work, civic and volunteer responsibilities. • In fact, for many people it is easier 'to get too involved than to set limits on their time and their schedules. This seems to be true no matter what the individual’s occupation -• from doctor to housewife. Are there times when being too busy is not the most productive use of our time? Perhaps there are times that should really be spent with the family; times such as parents helping their children with schoolwork or taking the time to really listen to what their day was like - and really listening to and hearing why it was special. And, often the most productive time that individuals can spend is when husband and wife go out alone to talk and listen to each other. But, all too often we find ourselves too busy and we don’t take the time to do what is needed to maintain a good marriage or be a good parent. When does being busy and working hard cross that imaginary line and become the driven, obsessive behavior of a workaholic? Dr. Wayne Gates, in his book Confessions of a Workaholic, offers many insights into this behavior. He points out that a workaholic is often looked up to by the community and feels good about his achievements and all the work being accomplished. Many times a workaholic - inadver tently, I think - will set himself (or herself) up to make it hard to say no or set limits on his time. It becomes increasingly more difficult to justify personal and family time when there is already precious little time of any kind to go around. What is really needed, in all situations, is a balance between job, personal and family time. People need their own personal time to recharge their batteries. Marriages and families require time and work if they are to remain healthy and grow. And, of course, most of us have to work hard if we are to be successful at our chosen occupation. I wonder what “being busy” really means. It is often a struggle for people to get and keep their real priorities in order. Sperryville homes welcome guests Mr. and Mrs. Roy B.

Mrs. Leo Wood of Reva Park was a guest Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Tips for safe Halloween Halloween begins a time of the year when children and teens are faced with potential dangers associated with the holidays. But, this doesn't have to be a scary time for parents and children, says the nation’s largest parent-teacher association. “By taking precautions or offering alternatives to trick-or-treating, parents can ensure a safe and happy Halloween for their children and the community,” according to Manya Ungar, National Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) president. , Halloween will mark the kickoff of the National PTA’s second annual Phild Safety and Protection Month. Each November, the 6.1 millionmember association focuses its efforts on keeping youth safe from harm, and guides PTAs and other concerned groups and individuals in planning year-round safety learning activities for children and teens. This Halloween, the National PTA suggests asking your local PTA to host an all-school Halloween party as an alternative to children going Tloor-to-door. Have children dress up, and award prizes for the best costumes. The school could show a “ghost” movie or have a teacher or parent read ghost stories. Parents might provide refreshments and give individual bags of treats for each child to take home. Another idea is for parents to host a house party for children and teens and their families. Everyone could dress up as their favorite characters and participate in a treasure hunt in and around the house. Other alternatives include creating a haunted house for teens, staging a Halloween block party, or having a hayride. But, for those children who would rather go trick-or-treating, •parents could form a safety patrol such as the one instituted by the Edgemont Elementary School PTA in Edgemont, N.Y. The PTA divides the town into sections, and cars with two parents each patrol these areas from 7-9:30 p.m. on Halloween night. The PTA worked closely with the local police department, and Motorola Inc. donated cellular telephones to use should problems occur. Patrolling parent volunteers gave flashlights and reflective tape to trick-or-treaters to make them more visible. Here are some suggestions for parents from the National PTA to help make trick-or-treating a safe and eryoyable experience. • Have an adult accompany children on their treat-gathering route. Avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods or homes of strangers. Stop only at houses or apartments that are well lit. • Tell children to accept only manufacturer-wrapped treats and not to sample anything until they return home. Inspect their treats for possible tampering. • Tell children to politely decline an invitation to enter a home or apartment. Similarly, don’t encourage children you don’t know to enter your home. • Affix name, address and phone number to the inside of young children’s costumes in case they get % Be Resourceful. Recycle.

Give children coins and instruct them to call if there is a problem. • Older kids without adult chaperones should always travel in groups, never alone. Have them plan a route to follow and designate a time they’ll return home. • Natural masks of makeup are preferable to plastic or rubber ones that may restrict breathing or obstruct peripheral vision. • Purchase only costumes, masks, beards and wigs labeled “flame resistant.” • See that costumes are short enough so youngsters don’t trip. Bright colors and costumes with reflector tape are more visible. • Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be made of soft flexible material. Avoid toy weapons that could be mistaken for the real thing. • Instruct children to walk, not run, from house to house. They should walk on sidewalks, not in the streets, and cross at intersections oi crosswalks. Teach them not to dart out between parked cars. • Maximum points limited to $1,250, no matter how large your loan. Keep up to $2,000 where it belongs - in your pocket! • Personal, local service and in-house appraisals mean no delays.

Here’re the treats for Halloween By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extenkm Agent, Home Economic! The bewitching night is soon come. Halloween parties will be full swing everywhere for the young at heart and the very young. Parties can be as simple and inexpensive as you wish to make them. A cake decorated in observance of the season served with hot mulled cider dipped from a hollowed pumpkin bowl might be one suggestion. Black Magic Cake frosted with Orange Butter Frosting and decorated with a Shadow Glaze certainly fits the bill. 3. S Black Magic Cake 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate 1/4 cup water 2 T. sugar 6 large eggs, separated 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar IV2 cups sugar, divided 1/2 cup orange juice IV2 cups sifted cake flour 1T. grated orange rind Vegetable coloring (yellow and red) 1/2 tsp. baking soda In top of double boiler, combine unsweetened chocolate with water and 2 tablespoons sugar. Place over simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. Remove from water and set aside. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. In another mixing bowl, using same beaters, beat egg yolks until light and lemon colored. Gradually beat in remaining 1 cup sugar and continue beating until thick enough to form a ribbon when beaters are raised. Blend orange juice (at low speed or by hand) alternately with flour. Pour over egg whites and fold in gently but thoroughly. '» Divide batter in tWo equal portions. Fold orange ririfd into half of batter together with a drop of yellow and red color to give desired color. Stir baking soda into cooled, melted chocolate and fold mixture into second half of batter. Alternate spoon full of orange and chocolate batter in ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Run knife through batter to marble, but do not mix. Bake in 326-degree oven for 1 hour, or until cake springs back when touched lightly with finger. Invert on funnel or bottle to cool. When cake is completely cooled, turn out of pan and frost with orange butter frosting. Drizzle shadow glaze along edge of cake. Makes 12 to 16 servings. Orange Butter Frosting 1/2 cup soft margarine or butter legg 1 tap. grated orange rind 6 cups sifted powdered sugar 1/4 cup orange juice Cream margarine or butter, beat in egg and orange rind. Gradually beat in powdered sugar alternately with orange juice. Frosting should be soft but of holding consistency because the cake is very delicate.

Would you like to go to a little more trouble to make this Halloween party a very special occasion? You might consider creating a Cranberry Cheese Pumpkin with cheddar and cream cheese, spicy seasonings and cranberry-orange relish. After all the ingredients are mixed together, shape into a large ball. With hands, press sides into ridges to give pumpkin shape. Add a cinnamon stick for the stem and one has a tasty spread for crackers or small slices of bread. Cranberry Cheese Pumpkin IVi lb. sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated 2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, room temperature 1 tsp. dry mustard 1/2 cup cranberry-orange relish Cinnamon stick In large bowl, mix all ingredients except cinnamon stick. Shape into ball, place on serving dish, and with a spatula, ridge sides to resemble pumpkin. Press cinnamon stick into top of “pumpkin” for a stem. Chill until ready to serve with crackers or melba toast. Serves 10 to 12. Caramel apples are a familiar party treat, but have you ever considered serving Peanut Butter Apples? Peanut Butter Apples 8 wooden skewers 8 medium-size apples, stems removed (Macintosh recommended) 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) peanut butter chips 3 T. vegetable oil Chopped nuts, crushed cereals, or coconut (optional) Wash apples and dry thoroughly; insert wooden skewer in each where stem was; set aside. In heavy IV2quart saucepan, melt peanut butter chips with oil over very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth; remove from heat. Working quickly, dip apples in mixture and twirl to remove excess coating. Roll in chopped nuts, crushed cereal or coconut, if desired. Allow to cool on buttered or waxed paper. Refrigerate if desired. Peanut butter chips and com syrup make a different binding syrup for popcorn balls. They can be made ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap and tied with inexpensive ribbon to brighten up a party table. Simnunering Witches’ Brew will send an aroma throughout the party room that will certainly tantalize guests. Witches’ Brew 1/2 gallon cranberry cocktail juice 1/2 gallon apple cider 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg Measure ingredients into a saucepan. Heat and simmer in a covered pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm. Serves 16. Cookies are always a favorite for parties. In keeping with the season, corns tacks will bring memories of open fields dotted with bundled cornstalks. Comstacks 1 package (14 ounces) vanilla and chocolate caramels 1/4 cup Crisco 3/4 cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts 6 cups (lVfc quarts) com flakes About 2 to 3 dozen pieces of candy com In large saucepan combine caramels and Crisco. Stir over low heat until candy melts and mixture is blended. (Candy will melt quite slowly.) Remove from heat. Stir in peanuts. Add cereal and mix thoroughly. Shape into clusters while warm. Place on waxed paper. Insert a candy com in center of each. Cool thoroughly. Makes about 24 large or 36 small stacks. Cashew balls make it possible for those on salt-restricted diets to enjoy the eating fun. Cashew Balls 3/4 cup unsalted margarine 1/4 cup sugar 1V4 tsp. vanilla extract 1V4 cups unsifted flour 1 cup chopped, dry-roasted, unsalted cashews Powdered sugar Additional whole cashews for topping In a small mixing bowl, cream together unsalted margarine, sugar, and vanilla until light.

Makes about 36 cookies. Nutritional information per cookie: 77 calories, 1 gram protein, 1 milligram sodium.

Rappahannock Journal ASCS conservation rales announced rinal rules clarifying conservation compliance, sodbuster and swampbuster provisions of the 1985 Farm Bill have been issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The conservation provisions encourage the reduction of soil erosion and the retention of wetlands, T. V. Williams Jr., Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Committee said. Farmers who plant agricultu- - ral commodities on highly erodible land without following a locally approved conservation plan, or produce crops on converted wetlands, are ineligible for certain program benefits on any land they own, operate or have an interest in as a producer. Conservation compliance applies to farmers who continue planting annually tilled crops on highly erodible fields. Sodbuster applies if annually tilled crops are planted on a highly erodible field that was not used for crop production during the period of 1981 through 1985. Swampbuster applies if naturally occuring wetlands are converted to crop land after Dec. 23,1985, the date the Farm Bill was signed. In addition to further defining highly erodible land, Mr. Williams said the final rules approved alfalfa crop rotation as an acceptable conservation system, and allowed certain crop acreage bases to be exchanged for high residue crops if recommended by the SCS in the conservation plan and approved by the ASCS county office committee. “Where alfalfa, other legumes or grass are used as a high residue crop in a rotation, and not as permanent hayland or grassland, the existing crop rotation may be considered an acceptable conservation system,” Mr. Williams said. He said farmers who had alfalfa in a crop rotation on highly erodible land during each year between 1981 and 1985 have untU June 1, 1988, to apply an approved conservation plan on the land without being determined ineligible for USDA program benefits. To remain eligible for benefits, the ASCS official said producers must have a conservation plan for highly erodible cropland by Jan. 1, 1990, and the plan must be fully implemented by Jan. 1,1995. USDA received 8,400 comments in 2,6% letters on interim conservation rules. Still out for publiceomment is a rule concerning an acceptable level of soil erosion reduction. USDA expects to resolve this later this fall. For additional details on the final conservation rules, farmers may contact the Rappahannock ASCS office, 675-3616. Forestry Dept, offers seedlings The Department of Forestry is now accepting orders for tree seedlings. Although planting season does not begin until next February, now is the time to order seedlings to insure the species you want will be available. This year there are 13 species of trees and wildlife food shrubs for sale, which can be planted for a wide variety of purposes, such as timber production, erosion control, Christmas trees, sight and sound barriers, and improvement of wildlife habitat. Prices are kept reasonable since the Department of Forestry sells the seedlings at their cost of production. Prices range from $26 per 1000 loblolly pine seedlings to $75 per 1000 Norway spruce seedlings. The minimum order for most species is 50 i seedlings. Sawtooth oak, black walnut, and autumn olive are sold in bundles of 25 for $12.50. The Department of Forestry will be glad to examine and/or discuss any planting site you might have. Foresters will offer suggestions on recommended species, seedling spacing, preparing the planting site, and the best planting method. Your planting site might also qualify for financial assistance through one or more of the state and ‘ federifl costnshare programs. To de- •* termine if the planting site is eligible for cost-share assistance, the Forestry Department will be happy to 1 make an examination of your prop- • erty. I Anyone interested in placing an ; order, having a planting site exam- ■ ined, or in the reforestation cost-' share program can contact Buck Kline, Area Forester, at the Madison office by calling 948-5341 or writing to Department of Forestry, P.O.

In addition to standard tack store fere, Snaps will provide access to products generally not available in the area, particularly for endurance riders, along with products M«. Moore and Ms. Martinsen-Parli have found invaluable in management of their own herds, according to the two owners. Snaps will also offer some emergency treatments and supplies in a location convenient to western Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren counties. Ms. Moore got hooked on horses at the tender age of two when neighbors sat her on their backyard pony. Pursuing riding was difficult, however, because her father was in the Navy and the family moved every two years. Her best experience at that time was being able to join the Pebble Beach Pony Club. In 1982 her dream was realized when she acquired her own horse, precipitating a move to Rappahannock County, where she and her husband Joe own two Moyles from Idaho and a Quarterhorse. Real Estate C§i Eileen M. Day realtor —’ DEPRECIATION CHANGE QUESTION: One of the big benefits of owning investment property is the ability to depreciate it and treat this depreciation as a paper loss. Has the Tax Reform Act changed this in any way? ANSWER: Yes it has. For properties placed in service starting in 1987, the Tax Reform Act both lengthens the depreciation period and changes the rate at which the properties can be written off. Under prior rules, bothf ommercial and residential realeslMS’&ere depreciable over a 19year psrisd. On top of that, teal estate could be written off at an accelerated rate that produced bigger deductions in the early years of ownership than in the later years. The Tax Reform Act increases the depreciation period to 27‘/2 years for residential rental property and 31'/2 years for commercial property. Accelerated depreciation has been eliminated. Both types of property must now be written off using straight-line depreciation. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone: 674-3400. We’re here to help. Ms. Moore’s first distance competitions were competitive trail rides, which led to her involvement with endurance racing. This year she came in third in the U. S. 60 Mile Ride and placed in the Top Ten in the Old Dominion experience of racing in the Rappahannock Hunt and Old Dominion Hunt pair races. Ms. Martinsen-Parli grew up on a farm in Wisconsin where she helped her father train and race Standardbreds, and where she was also always fortunate to have had a horse to ride. Shortly after she married her husband Richard Parli she was given an aged and very spunky part-Arab gelding who taught her the joys of vigorous trail riding. Subsequently the Parlis began breeding registered Arabians, concentrating on proven racing lines, which they continue to do on their farm in western Fauquier County. 4-H leaders’ workshop set 4-H volunteer leaders from around the state will learn about new programs that are designed to help their clubs at the annual Virginia Association of Adult 4-H Volunteer Leaders workshop Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30 and 31, at the Holiday Inn-Airport.

Fall brings backyard symphony Now, in autumn’s waning days, I listen intently in my backyard meadow for sounds of summer gone by. Fairly large by garden plot standards, the meadowis more than just another planting bed. It lives flamboyantly. Its lives and the life supports that animate it are varied and wonderful — animals, plants, soil, sun, air, water. I am somehow saddened as this wildflower-riddled patch slips into winter’s apparent stillness. Attuned to its daily rhythms, I can’t help but notice the daily diminution of its sound and motion. Indian summer returned briefly today, however. Late afternoon warmth stirs the remaining tree crickets and other long-horned grasshoppers. The day’s heat dissipates slowly into a late evening chill. Later, as I finally nod off, I’m comforted by what might be the year’s last chorus of katydids. Insect song in late summer and fall is the often overlooked and infrequently perceived equal of spring’s more lauded orchestra of bird and frog song. Perhaps by September we’ve had our fill of nature. Some of us fought losing battles with insects r BACKYARD NATURALIST throughout the summer. We tune out their wonderful autumnal chorus and go about our outdoor chores and hobbies oblivious to their lives. Like birds, some insects use song to attract mates, defend territories and warn of impending danger. The great majority of these unseen songsters are members of the great insect group orthoptera. In addition to locusts of plague fame, cockroaches with miserable table manners and those best known of garden hunters, the mantises, this group includes grasshoppers of all types, crickets including Jiminy, katydids, wart biters and walking sticks. All but the last are singers. As with bird song, the astute human listener is much better able to grasp the diversity of life forms in a wild spot than is the visuallyoriented observer. With practice, I can now distinguish 20 different kinds of insect sound during a relaxing few hours from dusk into the early hours of darkness. Daylight triggers song from a quite different cast of performers. Getting to know these critters is more difficult than learning about birds. Listen for a frequently repeated song. Track that sound to its source by slowly approaching the singer. Although you may not find your songster in any field guide, you might jot down notes, Some species seem to be adept ventriloquists. If you become totally frustrated in your search for the insect itself, try to find a copy of the record album, The Sounds of Insects, produced years ago by Houghton Mifflin Co. If that search is successful, try to identify your insect. Recognizing and appreciating some of these smaller but no less important species of wildlife in your yard might be a great New Year's Resolution. Just think of what a conversation starter your description of the mating call of the sword-bearing conehead or tinkling ground cricket might be at your next social gathering.

The fifth regional apple pie baking contest was open to students from Home Economics-homemaking classes of junior high, middle and high schools in the apple sections of the Virginias, Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Every student entering the contest received a gift from Rotary, miscellaneous favors, apple products, a badge with the name of her school and three complimentary festival admission tickets. Lynn’s pie was baked before the contest using fresh apples and a homemade pie crust. Pies were judged on appearance, texture and flavor. Rappahannock did not have any regional winning pies.

Arts and Leisure Lee talk featured by historical society Can a soldier be influenced by the women in his life? Historian John Devine will examine this question as part of his presentation on “Robert E. Lee, The Man and the Soldier,” at the meeting of the Rappahannock Historical Society Nov. 5 beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock County Courthouse in Washington. Mr. Devine says any discussion of Gen. Lee’s character must include the effects of women on his formative years. However, the speaker is also extremely well versed in the military strategy and tactics of Lee’s battered Army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Devine, who Bves in Leesburg, is an eighth generation resident of Loudoun County. Through his family ties and personal curiosity, he has examined every aspect of Gen. Lee’s operations, quest for supplies, and dashing cavalry raids against Gen. George McClelland and other Union forces in the area south of the Potomac.' Mr. Devine has conducted Civil War tours and seminars, and has spoken to Civil War Round Tables throughout Virginia, Maryland, and southern Pennysylvania, and as far afield as Chicago and Milwaukee. He has written two books for the Virginia regimental series. The public is invited to the meeting Nov. 5 in Washington.

Next Monday, Oct. 26, at 7:30 p.m., county residents interested in the times of Shakespeare will be privileged to hear an eminent British lecturer, Michael Justine Davis, speak about his latest book The Landscape of William Shakespeare. His talk will also feature slides of the places where the Bard of Avon lived as well as of the cities, towns and villages where his company performed his famous plays. Sponsored by the English Speaking Union, Mr. Davis is coming to Rappahannock to visit a relative, Leslie Arnold of Flint Hill. On this tour he is also speaking in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston before going to New York City from whence he will return to England. The sponsoring organization was founded in 1920 to encourage friendship among the English-speaking nations of the world. An international group, it is supported by dues from members (among them was Winston Churchill) and it offers scholarships to students to study in England as well as book exchanges among students. Summer programs are also provided for younger students on an exchange basis. Mr. Davis, the father of three grown children, shares the Union’s interest in promoting friendship among English-speaking students. He is a graduate of Pembroke College in England and has taught at Marlborough College for many MICHAEL J. DAVIS years. He is also the author of both prose and poetry, and has written dramas for theatre and television. A spokesman for the LibraryRAAC coalition said “we hope that all those young people in Rappahannock who may be interested in a stimulating educational experience will find time to attend this illustrated talk.” Mr. Davis’ lecture will be given at the Gay St. Theatre so that his slides may be more effectively displayed on a large screen. The reception scheduled to follow the lecture will be held at the Rappahannock County Library, where refreshments will be served and Mr. Davis will be available to speak with the audience. The public is invited and encouraged to attend this event. There will be no admission charge. Hospice offers living will The Hospice of the Rapidan and Rappahannock Legal Services, with the support of the United Way, are cooperating to make copies of the Living Will available to the public without a charge. A Living Will states that the person signing it wants life-prolonging medical treatment or procedures withheld or withdrawn if he or she is in danger of death because of an incurable disease, injury, or other cause, and if no recovery can be expected. The declaration becomes effective when a qualified physician determines that use of life-sustaining measures would only lengthen the dying process. It is based upon the patient’s right to refuse treatment under such circumstances. The Living Will is a legal document based upon the Virginia Natural Death Act passed by the General Assembly. The Living Will must be signed by the individual to whom it applies and by two unrelated witnesses. However, the Living Will can be revoked by the signer at any time. It is advisable to give a signed copy of this document to your primary physician. Signing a Living Will is entirely voluntary. Its purpose is to allow a person to express his or her wishes regarding this subject before the need arises, sparing family members a very difficult decision. Active decisions regarding treatment underlie the Hospice concept as the quality of life is of utmost importance for terminally ill individuals. The Living Will is free. Please call the Hospice at 825-4840 for a copy.

UI try to hold the number of bills I introduce to a minimum. We get 1,500 to 1,800, entirely too many, every session.” Of his four bills last year, three passed: e Provision for an alternative method of posting property by placing identifying paint marks on trees or posts. • An annexation moratorium prohibiting any city from beginning annexation proceedings against a county prior to July 1,1988. • Recognition of James Madison University as the state’s flagship institution in cooperation with the Virginia Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution. Sen. Miller volunteers that the most important bill in his package, a proposal to tie capital gains tax to inflation, faded to make it into law, however. “I had more favorable comments, even from Democrats who wanted to support it but didn’t because Gov. Baliles didn’t want it in his tax bill,” said Sen. Miller, blaming the defeat of his indexing bill on partisan politics. “The vote followed party lines. I got all the Republican votes but only one Democrat went with me ... If I’m re-elected, I’ll reintroduce it in the 1988 session, and this time, I’ll do some advance lobbying.” Does his minority party affiliation detract from his effectiveness? “Certainly, it’s a disadvantage being in the minority. I’d cetrainly like to be in the majority. There’s no chance of that in the next term, but I do believe the Republicans will pick up a couple of seats, and we might even become the majority party in the not too distant future. Then I’d be in an excellent position for the chairmanship of a major committee,” he said, noting, for example, that he is the only Republican on the powerful Transportation Committee. “But the nitty-gritty work in the General Assembly is nowhere near as partisan as people perceive it to be,” Sen. Miller maintained. “The merits of the issue prevail with most bills.” He sees no state tax increase on the horizon and, in fact, thinks a re Chase (Continued from Page 1) he admits is an uphill battle against an entrenched incumbent, “is to get away from state mandates. I feel that the local governments should have as much authority as can be given them, and the state’s role is to assist them. One of the biggest examples is the one that Sen. Miller sponsored, the trailer bill.” (Sen. Miller was a patron of a bill introduced in 1986 which would have required all localities in Virginia to treat off-site manufactured housing equally with site-built homes in their zoning ordinances. That power currently is left to each county to regulate through local ordinances. The bill was defeated by the senate.) “That’s a local politician speaking,” he said, “but for me to come here from a neighboring county and tell you what Rappahannock County needs, that’s ridiculous. Nobody knows more than someone who’s been here and lives here. “So, if I’m elected, and there’s a bill which affects this county, I’ll come to the people here and ask what they want me to do,” Mr. Chase promised. “The waste of tax dollars, as happened with Commonwealth Park,” is another issue, Mr. Chase said. He was referring to the General Assembly’s decision to build a $9 million horse facility in Rockbridge County, rather than give the designation of Virginia Equine Center to Culpeper’s Commonwealth Park, which had requested the title. Sen. Miller was one of the sponsors of the bill which created the Rockbridge complex. “Some people call me fiscally conservative ... I don’t know what you call it, but I do not have the theory that more dollars equals more quality in anything. The task is to find out how to get the best product without wasting the public’s money. “I am for more state money to rural counties for transportation — but that would be for upgrading existing roads, not building new ones,” he said, noting that there has been some misunderstanding among voters about his plan for road improvements. “I do not want to pave Rappahannock County,” he said. “We’ve designed our six-year road plan accordingly. We have pressure from developers who come duction might be possible. Virginia’s $130 million surplus “isn’t much money,” but it is significant as evidence that “taxes are plenty high,” Sen. Miller said. “And that will be even more obvious next year when we get $100 million or more a year (from revisions in the federal income tax program). . . We do not need additional revenue, so that can’t be used as an argument for the lottery. We can defeat the lottery and still work on a state tax decrease.” While he’s strongly opposed to a state-sponsored lottery, Sen. Miller has no position on parimutuel betting, which he believes will come next. “If the lottery passes, I’m not a bettor but I’ll bet you $10 that a bill will be introduced to allow parimutuel betting.” Sen. Miller is careful on environmental and land use issues, repeatedly saying he supports concepts rather than particulars: • On overturning the Hylton decision which prohibits local governments from requiring offsite road improvements from developers: “The parameters would be important ... I’d have to study the legislation to make sure it had constraints (on local government). I could see where it could be abused and turn into downright blackmail.” • On abolishing general use value taxation and allowing the preferential appraisals only to qualifying properties in Agricultural and Forestall Districts: “I’m in favor of doing the best we can to design the law to protect against investors, including speculators, from taking advantage of use value taxation.” Specifically, Sen. Miller said he would support “in concept” the application statewide of enabling legislation given to Loudoun County last year, permitting the disqualification from the use value taxation program of land in certain planned development zones. • On transfer of development rights: “The concept does sound good but I’m not convinced it will work. It’s like a chain letter. At first it works nicely, but as development gets densely concentrated, what are you going to do?” • On groundwater protection: He endorses state aid to localities, both technical and financial, for groundwater mapping to determine the quality and quantity of this resource. In concept, Sen. Miller said he supports putting groundwater pro in, put in a subdivision and want us to build a road.” Mr. Chase said he feels that if the developers want to press for added density in an area, they should shoulder the additional cost of roads and sewers, rather than passing it back to the local government. “One area where you have a heckuva problem —and it’s a sore point with me — is education,” Mr. Chase said. “There have to be more state dollars coming down for education, to assist the local governments. The only way you can get local dollars is through the real estate taxes.” The skyrocketing cost of education, especially because of more state mandates, has hamstrung local governments as they struggle to keep taxes low and still provide quality education, he maintained. 1 Solid waste management, Mr. Chase said, is an area where the state “must step in and help the counties with this serious problem . . . it’s a rural problem. They spent all that money on transportation for Northern Virginia’s problems; I think that they can help us with this.” He added that he would favor state incentives for counties which desired to participate in regional solid waste facilities. And mandatory recycling of glass bottles should be passed into law in Virginia, he said. The lottery ‘Is right where it belongs, on a referendum. It is an emotional issue which affects everyone. It’s something which I will study before I cast my ballot on Nov. 3, but the voters should decide . . . Everyone should cast his own vote, and I’ll live with whatever they decide.” Parimutuel betting, Mr. Chase said, would be another candidate for referendum. But if the vote were in the General Assembly, “my feelings are not particularly important. I would get around the district and get a good feel for what the residents of this district want, and then go.” The lottery, as does parimutuel betting, “gets close to a personal, moral issue; something the public should decide for itself.” The current budget surplus “shouldn’t all be thrown into one area, because it could give a false sense of fiscal well-being. It’s a oneyear shot. It could create a situation which would cause the need for followup dollars which would not be there. This would again cause problems for local governments to come tection on a par with surface water as far as it relates to zoning and development decisions by local government. He noted that he volunteered last year to introduce legislation to limit pumping from rivers for agricultural irrigation but that the State Water Control Board “wasn’t interested” in drafting a bill to that effect. • On solid waste management: He supports increased technical assistance from the state for the siting and design of sanitary landfills and state help to localities in finding “related means of financing” for landfill development and operation. In addition, he thinks the state should encourage regional approaches to solid waste management, but only through the provision of technical assistance for studies. “I’m purposely avoiding a state appropriation because we can’t have the state in the trash-hauling business.” Sen. Miller concedes that he erred in signing on as a patron to a bill introduced in 1985 which would have required local governments to allow mobile homes in agricultural zones. “I had no idea people out here were so opposed to them,” he said. He maintains that he would have voted against the original bill (which was killed before reaching the floor). But he still supports the amendment in the nature of a substitute he introduced which would have required “double-wide” trailers to be treated the same as site-built residences in all zoning districts. On other issues, Sen. Miller: • Favors giving localities the option of electing school board members, but does not think elected boards should have taxing power. • Favors an increase in hunting and fishing license fees, but isn’t sure he wants to see them doubled, as sought by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. • Has mixed feelings about Virginia’s Dillon Rule, which reserves for the state those powers not specifically granted to local government, but for the moment thinks the principle should be retained. • Would again support a bill requiring doctors to notify the parents of minors seeking an abortion. There are other problems which Sen. Miller feels must be addressed but for which he has no answers. up with the additional money . . . also, it isn’t as large as it appears. I’m not in favor of sending it back as a tax refund.” How to control the explosion of growth is a question which will continue to confront the Piedmont counties of the 26th District during the coming years. The conflict between the need to provide housing, jobs and services for an increasing population and the wish to preserve the area’s traditional rural, agricultural way of life is one which is likely to intensify, and Mr. Chase feels that “any growth should be determined by local governments, by what they want. There’s no way that the state should dictate development. “I think the agriculture district program is helping to preserve our farmland,” Mr. Chase said. “It’s a deal between the government and the farmer, so that everybody benefits. The farmer can’t change his mind, so it protects the residents who want to see the open space. On the other hand, it assures the farmer of certain benefits for his land use.” Agriculture districts also ensure, he pointed out, that the land cannot be condemned for power lines or highway improvements. At the same time, land use taxation is likely to become more controversial in the coming years as well, because of the loss of tax revenues to local governments strapped for funds. “For genuine farms,” Mr. Chase said, “I don’t see how they can exist without it. You’ve got to remember that someone sitting on a 200-acre farm is paying full taxes on the house and the land around it. The proportional cost to the taxpayer is really a savings, since the farmland does not demand the services” which are needed by higher density land uses. “All in all, they’re paying their fair share.” As for the issue of transfer of development rights, which would allow a landowner to sell development rights in exchange for a permanent easement on his property, Mr. Chase said, “that’s totally a local issue. The board of supervisors, who are directly involved with it, should make that decision. If there were some problem with the state . . . then that’s where I would see the role of the state senator in assisting. “That’s why,” he added, “I maintain there is no government which has a greater impact on an area than your own local government, whether the board of supervisors or town • Traffic control. “The 65-mile-anhour speed limit will come up this year and I don’t know what I’ll do. Traffic on the interstates is getting out of control.” Everyone drives too fast, he maintains, but reducing the speed limit is a “ridiculous” solution to that problem when the current limit isn’t enforced. “And it’s almost as ridiculous to raise the limit to 65 unless we’re going to have a policy that tickets" will be written for going 68 . . . But. we need a national policy. We can’t ’ just start policing at the Virginia * line.” According to Sen. MilleF, th^ state will also have to enact legist lation on surrogate motherhood.' “I’m not sure what should be done there. I have mixed feelings.” In addition, the AIDS problem must be addressed, he says. “I’m not sure any legislation i'$ necessary, but the state will have to get involved in policies and proc^ dures to protect the health of enw ployees and inmates at our prisons ; and institutions,” the senator said,' “Maybe it can just be addressed through the Department of Health without legislation. . . It’s an issue I don’t have any answers for. ” ,. In the Old Dominion, political campaigns are traditionally polite exercises that rarely degenerate into mudslinging confrontations. But in the past several weeks, how tl\e' 26th-district campaign is being coni ducted has been as much in the news as the issues. The unsuccessful trailer bill, his vote in favor of an increase in state taxes of fuels and an earlier promisg to meet monthly with constituent 16= cal governments have been cited by Sen. Miller’s opponent, but incor* rectly, the incumbent maintains. “This is the first time that I’va ever had an opponent publish things that are absolutely untrue. Whether he just allowed his paid people free rein and it was done without his knowledge, I don’t know.” Mr. Miller recalled that in his lastSenate race and in an earlier race for the House of Delegates, decided by less than 1 percent of the vote, he concluded the campaigns with great respect for his opponents. “It grieves me that Mr. Chase and I won’t end this campaign as better friends than when we started. I’d like to run for Kevin Miller and not against somebody.” council. The state should not be in volved. “Each county has different goal; and objectives." In that vein, Mr Chase said he would be in favor o] relaxing Virginia’s traditional stricl interpretation of the Dillon Rule which holds that any powers not spe> cifically granted to local govern, ments are reserved for the state. “The role of state government is not to decide for local residents the solip tions to their problems. ” Some counties in Northern Virginia have recently supported a change to make local school boards elected by direct ballot, rather tha0 appointed either by the board of suj pervisors or by school board trusty ees. “I think that the local residents should probably be given the choice of representation on their school boards.” Mr. Chase quickly added; however, that “I am 100 percent personally opposed to the concept of elected school boards. All you do i$ add another layer of politicians. Yon solve no problems, you just put the schools much more in the political arena.” Also, many of the good people serving now “would not be agreeable to serve, because of the expense of campaigning, the financial disclosure requirements. ” How would State Senator Bill Chase view his job in Richmond? “Simply carrying the will of the people of this district, seeking advice, listening to people. It doesn’t take an academic genius, it takes common sense. It takes someone who can talk to people, understand them, and then try and get through the General Assembly those requirements which would benefit this district. “If people want to be left alonb, then the state should be willing to do that,” he concluded. The campaign for the state senate seat has become more heated as the election nears, with both camps trading charges and countercharges. “We can document all our charges”’ Mr. Chase said. ; “The only thing that I got hot over was a statement by his administrative assistant that I was ju$t seeking a title. I gave a speech in Harrisonburg about what titles mean to me — I’ve been called a lot of things. My 6-year-old neighbor calls me Bill, and the 80-year-old people out at the Baptist Home cajl me Bill. When you’re standing ip mud out on your farm, it’s hard to worry about what your title is. ” > P-E files for rate decrease The Potomac Edison Company has filed a request with the Virginia State Corporation for a decrease in the fuel rate portion of customer’s bills. The utility applied to reduce the fuel rate by 25 percent, or 0.389 cent. The proposed rate, which will be in effect from December 1987 through November 1988 pending SCC approval, is 1.159 cents per kilowatt hour. The present fuel rate is 1.548 cents per kilowatt hour. The overall effect on the total electric bill of a residential customer using an average of 800 kilowatt hours a month will be a decrease of $3.11, or 5.9 percent. For customers using 2000 kilowatt hours a month, the proposed decrease will amount to $7.78, or 6.2 percent. The company’s fuel rate reflects the cost of fiiel used for the generation of electricity at power stations as well as the benefits of reduced costs to customers through credits from sales of electricity to other utilities. During the past year, Potomac Edison has been able to increase sales of electricity to other utilities, resulting in an overall reduction of fuel costs. F & M Bank income jumps Net income for F & M National Corporation for the nine months ending Sept. 30 was $5.2 million, (>r 97 cents per share, a 20.3 percent in crease over $4.4 million, or 81 cents per share, recorded a,vear earlier. Net income for the third quarter rose to $1.8 million.

Assessment (Continued from Page 1) added. •And in response to the demand from city folks for rural retreats and investment opportunities, sales prices have climbed, the members of the assessment board agreed. “This assessment is about as equal as you’re going to get,” said Col. Luke, adding that “it helped considerably” to have three real estate agents versed in sales figures on the Board of Assessors. Few changes have come from the complaints received through noon on Tuesday. In fact, assessments have been raised in several cases where landowners seeking to have values loiwered gave the Board of Assessors new information. The handful adjusted downward were largely the result of typographical or administrative errors, Col. Luke noted. “They’ve been the cause of some of the complaints that the appraisals are too high ... It would be hard to get all 5,000 cards (typed from the appraiser’s handwritten field notes) perfect.” ■The loudest yells about too high appraisals have come from landowners in the Town of Washington. The board members concede that percentage increases have been generally higher for town properties but they maintain this trend is borne out by sales figures. As to the difference in value between the Town of Washington and the village of Sperryville, “sales tell the whole story,” Mr. CKadwell stressed. Complaints have also come over the per-acre value difference between small and large parcels. Again, it is sales figures that dictate the variance, according to the assessors. Obviously, total value is lower for a three-acre lot than a 100-acre tract, Mr. Parrish pointed out. “And when the total value is lower, it’s available to a larger pool of buyers. Therefore, the demand is greater.” The greater buyer demand allots the seller to demand a higher price per acre. “Land sells that Guest (Continued from Page 5) to sell “density” to another landowner who could then develop at a density greater than that allowed under zoning ordinances. In return, the person selling the rights forfeits his own development options. But the idea has not yet made a supporter of Del. Guest, who feels that “under extreme (economic) pressures a person might mortgage or sell the future of his land use.” And, once everyone has gone through the process, “it could develop pressures to do it all over again. “I’m not hostile to the idea,” he said. “I’m just not convinced that it’s the best workable system.” The problems with trying to make money in agriculture, he added, “will continue as long as it’s more profitable to grow people than crops.” Del. Guest said that he strongly supports the effort to promote Virginia products, including wines, apples and horses. Mr. Guest expressed ambivalence” toward the lottery, which has caused heated debate as the Nov. 3 Referendum nears. “I’m not morally outraged by it, I just don’t choose to do it. I don’t think it hurts people as much as the opponents charge, but I also don’t think it will solve our money problems.” ; But, he said: “I do have a problem with the state promoting gambling because of the opposition of some of its residents.” As far as the referendum is concerned, Mr. Guest said, “our folks have already decided. They play someone else’s game. It’s a moot pbint; at least the money would stay in Virginia.” Some lottery opponents have expressed concern that if the lottery is approved, the next step would be ' parimutuel betting. “If the attitude of the (residents off the) state has changed since it was narrowly defeated in 1978, it might Jiass next time,” Mr. Guest replied, saying +hat it should again be put to a referendum if there is support for it. “Again, you are stimulating, giv. ing support to a native industry, as well as keeping it inside the state and providing jobs. The economic impact of the horse industry in the state is tremendous.” As far as issues which will dominate the General Assembly’s next session, Del. Guest sees a significant salary restructuring for sheriffs deputies, game wardens and ABC personnel as a major concern. “The state police salaries were out of line until they got a good look last year. The same good look is going to spill over this session.” And, the budget will occupy the legislators during the session as well. Del. Guest said that, given the feet that the federal tax changes mean that taxpayers who itemize will end up with higher tax bills, “to the extent that we can give them some relief, we should.” way,” Mr. Parrish affirmed. He also noted that the law requires a house lot to be broken out from the balance of a large tract and its value figured separately. Generally, the house lots have been appraised at $8,000 with the assessment running to $10,000 if road access or location makes the property particularly desirable. “I’d say we’re as close as you’re going to get,” maintained CoL Luke. As evidence, he cited several appraisals done recently by private firms which fall within $1,000 either side of values set by Mr. Chadwell and the board. Looking at the county as a whole, there is no discernible difference in percentage increases between the various magisterial districts, according to the board members. The only variation comes in Washington. After years of holding fairly steady in value, forest land shows a significant percentage increase, the assessors noted. They attributed this to a growing demand from “D. C. people” for wooded hillside lots, adding that this development is also reflected in sales figures. “Sales figures” and “fair market value”: Mr. Chadwell and the members of the assessment board prefaced every explanation with those two phrases. “And if you don’t believe that market values and sales prices are up, check the deed transactions in the Rappahannock News every week.” Col. Luke suggested. Mr. Chadwell has no total yet on the overall increase in worth for Rappahannock’s taxable property. “We’re not finished,” he explained, noting that he and the assessment board will continue to meet with landowners through Oct. 30. Even then, the bottom lines on the 5,000 or so assessment cards won’t be tallied. Landowners will have another court of appeals in the Equalization Board, still to be appointed by the Board and Supervisors and set to begin hearings in January. “They’re the final authority, not us,” concluded Mr. Parrish. Although Del. Guest’s name has been mentioned repeatedly about one of the Republican contenders for the governorship in 1989, he said he’s made no decision about a run for that office. Does he have a timetable in mind for that decision? “November 1989 is the deadline,” he chuckled. “We’ve got to get through the 1988 General Assembly session” before looking into that possibility, he said. “I'm open to suggestions. As I travel around the state, campaigning for other candidates, I’m listening. I’ve made a lot of new friends.” Given Sen. Trible’s withdrawal from the U. S. Senate race next year, does Del. Guest have any interest in that seat? “I have more of an in-state focus,” he replied, adding that he could become known as a “gadfly” if the perception developed that he is a candidate for every open position which comes along. “I’m watching it with interest,” but not as someone who is looking to fill the seat, he concluded.

Cannon (703) 937-4700 Council (Continued from Page 1) brought questions from council members and residents. Mr. Reynolds informed the council of the substance of the application, but noted that he declined to offer an opinion on the permit since he had worked with her in setting up the structure for the business. He described the application as for “a retail use in a residential structure, located in village mixed use.” Ms. Haase, who previously ran a popular store and restaurant next to the Post Office called Nature’s Foods, told the council that the business would consist entirely of packaged items, and that no food preparation would be done by the business. She added that she planned to limit the shop to the first floor, and would live above the store on the second floor. After council member Ray Goqch asked Ms. Haase for more specifics as to what she would be selling, she told the council that she envisioned selling fine wines and imported beer as well, “like the Town Duck,” a successful specialty shop in Warrenton. That, she said, would be contingent upon the issuance of an ABC permit. Mr. Wickens suggested that “if there is any one building which cries out for this use it is this building — especially after what council did in allowing the welfare building to be built there. We have seriously compromised the residential quality of that house; in fairness we should approve this specific use.” He suggested conditions that would make the permit specific to Ms. Haase, allow only a business of the type described on the application, which occupies no more than 700 square feet inside, and restrict the days of operation to Monday through Saturday. The largest question raised by the proposal, he added, is the availability of adequate parking for customers. “I don’t think there would be a lot of people in the store at once,” Ms. Haase replied. Maurice Herndon, Senior Warden of Trinity Church, commented on the application "as a friendly neighbor.” He assured the council that Ms. Haase had spoken with the church representatives and had pledged her cooperation in retaining the ambience of the neighborhood, but added that “we want to express concern about what may happen down the road — after Ms. Haase leaves. The next applicant may not present as desirable a business for approval.” He added that the church has just undertaken an extensive beautification project on the lot next to the house, and envisions “a quiet place” for reflection, meditation and use of the church’s parishioners and the town’s residents. The improvements, are leading to the creation of a living memorial, he said, dedicated to the memory of members of the church’s congregation who have passed away. This “quiet place,” he said, ‘Is Space (Continued from Page 3) merit’s space problems. In a related matter that may affect the Health Department’s situation, the board authorized Mr. McCarthy to look into the possibility of having a private firm evaluate Rappahannock’s public health program. In a letter dated Sept. 28, Richard Sharp, president of Sharp and Associates, consultants in public and environmental health based in neighboring Orange County, offered to discuss an evaluation program. According to Mr. Sharp, his firm was able to save one locality $90,000 last year without reducing Health Department services. “It may be worthwhile to ask for more information,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey, noting that the firm will travel to Rappahannock to discuss the proposal at no cost to the county. In other action at the October meeting, the board: • Approved additional appropriations totalling $63,807 for the school budget. Of that amount, $15,807 over what was originally expected comes from the federal government for Chapter I and Chapter II programs and $48,000 comes from text book rental fees and will be used to INCORPORATED purchase new math texts and replacement books. • Decided to ask Rappahannock’s Extension Service office to provide a coordinator for the county’s gypsy moth control effort. Mr. McCarthy reported that the Forest Service has agreed to assist with the egg mass surveys which must be taken prior to applying to the state’s cost-share spray program. • Voted unanimously to advertise the list of delinquent local taxpayers in the Rappahannock News. • Postponed a decision on exempting agricultural buildings from inspection and building fees. • Named Col. Deiter Knuepfer as the county’s hazardous materials coordinator. • Learned that Butch Zindel and Sid Gottleib have been appointed to the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals by Circuit Court Judge W.

The town can’t do that, “unless everyone cooperates as the town grows — as the church grows.” Even now, he said, church members are having difficulty finding parking places for church functions during certain times. “There’s nothing we can do" about the growth, “this is just a concern.” Ms. Haase, he added, “has offered her cooperation — our concern is what happens down the road —in 10 years, after Rae, after us.” Mayor Morehouse acknowledged that lack of consideration for neighboring landowers is a perennial concern in a town as small as Washington, with limited facilities such as parking, but added that the conversion of the property from residential to commercial use is “inevitable. It is surrounded by village mixed use and village services” zoning. Diane Bruce, who lives arcoss the intersection at the comer of Middle and Gay Sts., told the council that she opposed the permit. And, she added, “I do not think that it is inevitable that the house become commercial. Maybe it is, but I would like to think not.” Part of the problem, she pointed out, is that Barbara Wood, the present owner, was unhappy when the welfare office building was put up right next to the property line, and she put a “big commercial price” on the property. It could be “a desirable residential property,” she maintained, “but people who may have had intentions to buy it as residential property didn’t offer because of the high price.” She also expressed concern for what uses may be proposed later. She noted that at that time application could be made under the provision for “existing retail use,” which would then allow the entire building to be used commercially. And, she said, the ordinance specifies that application can be made only by the owner or tenant. Since Ms. Haase’s agreement is with Roger Batchelder, who last Wednesday was only the contract owner, she is neither tenant nor owner and therefore could not legally present the application. Only Mrs. Wood could make the application, Ms. Bruce told the council. Although Peter Kramer pointed out that in many cases contract own era are considered under the law as having legal standing for the purpose of use applications, Mr. Wickens disagreed. "We could wind up with a lawsuit.” He suggested that the council treat the application as a nullity until title either passed to Mr. Batchelder or Mrs. Wood presented the application in her name. Mayor Morehouse agreed, adding that the opposition of adjacent landowners heightened the need for the council to be sure that the application was presented and approved under the correct procedure. He suggested that Ms. Haase research and present more details on her plans for parking, hours, provisions for trash containers, and the sale of beer and wine. Mr. Wickens agreed that Ms. Bruce had raised valid questions, adding that “I would oppose this if council had not done to that property what they did.” But, he added, “I am concerned that we could be setting someone up for a lawsuit who has spent a lot of money starting a business and then be forced out because their special use permit was not approved correctly.” Ms. Bruce repeated the points which she found objectionable: • The requirement in the zoning ordinance for one off-street parking space for each 100 square feet of retail space. Mr. Kramer pointed out that cannot be waived by the council, but such waiver must be granted by the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals. • The sale of carryout beer and wine in a residential neighborhood, with the potential for resulting littering, loitering and parking on nearby streets by patrons. • That the conversion of the property from residential to commercial is not “inevitable.” • The congestion caused by store customers, added to the already crowded conditions faced by church and community members attending functions at Trinity Church. Mayor Morehouse suggested that the council table the request for amendment, with the council to pay for the cost of readvertising the permit application, since Ms. Haase had applied for the permit in good faith, believing herself to have legal standing in representing the permit.
