Temperatures will drop again, with daytime highs only in the 20s and nighttime lows plunging into the teens. y ? t > y s Town will decide on first rezoning request » Washington s Town Council will consider its first request for rezoning under the town’s zoning ordinance revisions, adopted in August 1986, at a joint public hearing scheduled with the town’s Planning Commission at the council’s meeting next Wednesday, Feb. 10. It will be iheld at the courthouse at 8 p.m. C. E. (Skippy) Giles Jr. has requested that the council clarify the status of the property now occupied by the Washington Cash Store, at the comer of Blue Ridge Avenue and Main Street. Mr. Giles would like to close the Cash Store and renovate the building for new offices for the county’s Health Department and three apartments upstairs. The request for a ruling came at the council’s January meeting. When the council adopted sweeping revisions of the town’s zoning ordinances, it zoned the Cash Store lot as village residential, making the business a non-conl^ning use which was “grandfathered” under the ordinance’s provisions. Mr. Giles had requested a mixed-use zoning status, but the council declined, citing the residential natun^if the neighboring properties. %lr. Giles sounded a note of urgency at January’s meeting, telling the council that the Health Department’s lease at the Clopton House expires at the end of June, and that he would need time to liquidate the store’s inventory and remodel the building. The Health Department announced some time ago that it was in need of larger offices for its operation. The Cash Store’s ground floor would provide 1,800 square feet, as opposed to the 1,170 square feet in its Clopton House quarters. Eugene Full, the Health Department’s regional administrative manager, told the council that preliminary negotiations with Mr. Giles had begun, but the department could not finalize terms of a lease w ithout an estimate of remodeling costs. Mr. Giles maintained that precedent exists for the use of the building as offices, since the Cash Store has maintained its office in the building since 1946. Prior to that time the building housed William Stuart’s General Merchandise Store and Stuart’s Bank, the last private bank in the United States. What you want, or what the law is? "There are ways to accomplish w hat Skippy is asking for,” Town Attorney Frank Reynolds told the council. "But do you want to hear what you want to hear, or do I I_ Town of Washington Legend ££'£ Village Residential Rural Reaidential H Village Mixed Uaa Village Services KappahanmK k News staff graphic/Lou Hatter THE PROPOSED REZONING to Village Mixed-Use is shown by the cross-hatched area on the left side of North Main St., between Middle and Calvert Sts. you want to hoar what the law is?" Under the town’s ordinance, he said, the only uses permitted in village residential zones are single family dwellings and home occupations. With a special use permit, two-family residences, public utilities and the keeping of dogs is also allowed. “So offices are not allowed at all,” Mr. Reynolds told the council. "If you can interpret that he already had an office building at the time the ordinance is adopted, then he can continue to have an office building, and if you can interpret that he already had apartments at the time the ordinance was adopted, then he can continue to have apartments, but you do not have the power under vour ordinance to give him a special use permit for an office or an apartment,” the attorney advised the council. Mr. Giles told the council that he had checked with John McCarthy, the county’s zoning administrator, who also serves in that capacity for the town. He said, Mr. Giles relayed, that he would be guided in his decision by the interpretation and recommendation of the Town Council. That is true, Mr. Reynolds replied, but added that Mr. McCarthy must also consider the legality of the proposed use before issuing a building permit. If the permit is denied, Mr. Giles may appeal the decision first to the town s Board of Zoning Appeals and then to the courts. If the decision is overturned, and a permit is granted, any residents who object to the decision may also seek relief through the same process, Mr. Reynolds explained. He cautioned, however, “it’s not the function of the Town Council to overrule the zoning administrator." Needs and promises Council member Nan Thomasson called the town’s need for rental housing and apartments, "critical.” “Not only that,” added council member Evelyn Willis, “but this council made Skippy a promise and we need to honor that . . . The town would miss your store a lot, but we do need apartments badly.” To those promises made when Mr. Giles was denied the mixed-use designation he had requested, Mr. Reynolds said, “We told Skippy ‘You can continue what you are doipg,’ (but) I don't think anyone told him, ‘You can make the Cash Store into an office building or you can See REZONING, p. 14 Support affirmed for dual-1 ailing Rt. 211 “We’ve worked on this for six years,” Supervisor Charles Estes said of the Rappahannock board's continuing effort to persuade the Highway Department to finish the long-delayed widening of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. “We’re not going to stop now. This is our main highway artery, and we should take care of it.” The issue of improvements to the primary road, the most heavily traveled in Rappahannock, arose Monday at the board’s hearing on the county’s six-year secondary road plan. Chairman Hubert Gilkey pointed out that the advertised public hearing was not the proper forum for comment on primary road projects. That belongs at the Highway Department’s meeting April 11 in Culpeper, he noted. “But we 11 lake a few,” he told those who wanted to address plans for Rt. 211. “I feel with all my heart that we don’t need to widen 211,” said Stella Cadwalleder, directing the board and resident engineer Bob Moore to the editorial in the Jan. 28 edition of the Rap pafianvock News for reasons for abandoning the project. “The editorial says it all." With only one passing area on the six-mile stretch, traffic backs up behind farm equipment and other slow moving vehicles, countered Phil Irwin, supporting the dual-laning on safety grounds. In addition, he noted, Rappahannock's comprehensive plan designates the area around the Farmers’ Co-op as the location for commercial and industrial development, the only spot in the county so identified. Elizabeth Gaskell suggested adding a third passing lane as an alternative to dual-laning. “That type of highway has proved to be very hazardous,” explained Mr. Moore, adding that the Highway Department has eliminated the third passing lane from Virginia’s road system because of the high number of head-on collisions occurring on highways with that design. Plans for the improvements were developed 20 years ago, but construction wa*s delayed by lack of funds, the resident engineer explained. “Each year, the Rappahannock board has supported this project. The Highway Department feels it's needed now and in the future to provide a safe roadway.” Further informational hearings on the project will be held in the coming months with construction scheduled for 1989 and 1990, Mr. Moore said. Gladys Havstadt asked if a traffic light could be installed at the Co-op and operated on weekends as an alternative. “No, we probably wouldn't do that,” replied Mr. Moore. "That would cause right much of a back-up” and increase the potential for rear end collisions, he said. With traffic generated by tourists, business people, and commuters, "we’ve got a bottleneck between Washington and Sperryville,” said Carson Johnson, describing Rt. 211 as the major eastwest artery in Rappahannock. Impatient motorists are already using the turning lanes in front of the two public schools as passing‘lanes, he said. “It’s a death trap . . . The need (for the dual lanes) is far greater now than it’s ever been before. I sure hope the project stays a number one priority,” Mr. Johnson said, adding that the narrow stretch of Ht. 211 between Washington and Sperryville has three times the traffic that it can safely accommodate. “It’s the most heavily traveled section of road in Rappahannock County,” said Supervisor Estes, who has lobbied the Highway Department for completion of the dual-laning on behalf of the board. The present design is “dangerous, extremely dangerous” with the increased traffic and the commercial development, he said. "Talk about distress,” he said, to those concerned about the impact which road improvements may have on the scenic values and rural character of the area. “You say distress, and I think about the family members of the two people who were killed in front of the Co-op (in a traffic accklent in July, SeeRT. 211,p 14 Visit leaves participants exhausted, rewarded By SANDRA CARTWRIGHTBROWN Kappahannmk New* Contributing Writer The visit of the Soviet delegation to Rappahannock County began last Wednesday when the group was picked up in Washington by Nels Parson, Nancy Reeve and Sandra Cartwright-Brown. ■ They were taken to Conyers House in Slate Mills, where their hosts were waiting. The visitors were assigned to families based on their interests, ability to speak English, and in one case, habit. (Dick Helmer, a smoker, asked that Vladimir Lubomudrov, also a smoker, be assigned to them. The Helmers also played host to Vadim Chubinsky, who speaks some English.) Maurice and Jane Herndon were assigned Alexei Pankin, who enjoyed discussing politics with Mr. Herndon, a veteran of the Capitol Hill political scene, and Valentin Chernykh, a scriptwriter and studio manager who speaks no English. Sandra and Norman CartwrightBrown had as guests Elina Bystritskaya, a well-known stage and film actress (best known, to American audiences for her role in Silent Flows the Dawn in 1955) and Elena Petushkova, a senior researcher in biology at Moscow State University and an Olympic gold medal winner in 1972 for dressage.

Satisfied customers stand up for the Hampton Inn “I’m here as a customer of the Hampton Inn. I’m not a hired gun. I’m not getting paid for this. I’m speaking from the heart,” said attorney Doug Baumgardner Monday as he presented the Board of Supervisors with a petition carrying 116 names attesting to the high quality of food served at Millie Cibula’s roadside restaurant. “Simple country cooking — that’s the Hampton Inn’s specialty.” The issue of the Hampton Inn’s food boiled over at last month’s board meeting when Sheriff John Henry Woodward relayed grumblings from the prisoners in the Rappahannock jail. According to the sheriff, the prisoners have complained about the high grease content and foreign objects in the meals, which are served by the Hampton Inn for four years under a contract with the county. While insisting that he has no problem in continuing the contract, the sheriff nonetheless asked the supervisors to consider adding a kitchen to the jail. Aside from the question of complaints over the quality of the catered meals, he pointed out that the county pays the restaurant $9 per day for each prisoner’s food, three times the state average of $2.57 per day. The Rappahannock jail is one of only two in Virginia which does not prepare meals for inmates on site, according to the sheriff. Fowl costs at neighboring jails with kitchens run $2.70 in Warren County, $3 in Fauquier, $3.04 in Rage, and $2.90 to $3 in Culpeper. “I've never eaten in the jail, and I hope I never will,” said Mr. Baumgardner, winning chuckles from the board members. “But I’ve always found the food at the Hampton Inn to be excellent, and I’ve been told by the management that I’ve eaten some of the same meals as prepared for the jail. ” Supervisor Nelson Lane interjected that he’d eaten a “nice breakfast” at the restaurant since last month’s board meeting. “I’m here alive to testify to it.” Prisoners have reportedly complained about getting cold food, Mr. Baumgardner continued. “The jail has a microwave oven. I suggest they use that to warm up the meals.’' But according to the attorney, the food quality issue will continue to simmer, no matter what measures See FOOD, p. 14

THE DRIVER of this truck is in critical condition after she lost control and hit an embankment, flipping the pickup onto its top. Driver critical after truck flips Lisa Ann Day, 22, of 1216 Meander Drive, Culpeper, remains in critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit of University of Virginia Medical Center following a one-vehicle accident Friday night on Rt. 522. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, who investigated the crash, Ms. Day was .southbound toward Culpeper in a 1981 Chevrolet LUV pickup when she lost control of the truck on a curve one-half mile south of Rt. 604 near the RappahannockCulpeper county line. Trooper Baines said that his investigation indicated that the truck ran off the southbound shoulder, then veered back across the road and struck a bank on the north side of the road. After striking the bank the truck flipped over and travelled another 30 to 50 feet before coming to rest in the northbound lane of Rt. 522. Ms. Day was trapped in the truck, and was extricated by the first rescue units on the scene. According to radio transmissions from the scene to the Washington VFD Advanced Life Support unit, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was begun on Ms. Day at the scene. Shewas rushed by Washington’s medic unit to Culpeper Memorial Hospital, where she was airlifted by the Pegasus med-evac helicopter to U.Va. hospital. A passenger in the truck, Steve Anthony Frazier, 33, also of Culpeper, was partially thrown from the truck, Trooper Baines said. He was treated and released from CMH Friday evening. As of Tuesday afternoon, Trooper Baines said, his investigation is continuing and charges are pending in the accident. He added that “alcohol and excessive speed seem to be contributing factors in the accident.” The truck was a total loss. Fire and rescue personnel from Castleton, Salem, Sperryville VFD and Rescue Squad and Washington VFD responded to the accident scene.

Clerk Ruth Blackwell retires, leaves the job and the courthouse cat to her former deputy Fnends and co-workers gathered in the courtroom two weeks ago to say goodbye to Ruth Blackwell, who retired last month after 12 years as the clerk for Rappahannock’s General District and Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noted that Rappahannock is the only Virginia jurisdiction to have one clerk serving two courts. “But despite that double load, Ruth Blackwell has always been efficient, .courteous, and thoughtful.” He also gave Miss Blackw'ell high praise for the help and guidance she’s provided to him and a host of other young attorneys. “She’s been the clerk since 1 started practicing here, and I’ve learned a lot from her.” “You look much too young to retire!” Judge John Ryan of Leesburg told Miss Blackwell. “I was surprised when I heard you were leaving. You’re doing such a wonderful job. We’ll miss you.” “I’ve made so many wonderful friends in the last 12 years,” said the blushing retiree. “I’m sorry that some — like Judge Moffett — aren’t here today.” “I’ve eryoyed training all the rookie lawyers,” she added, smiling at the Commonwealth’s Attorney. “I learned a great deal from them, too.” Then from the back of the crowd came the question on everyone’s mind: “What happens to Miss Pruddy?” Miss Pruddy is Jurisprudence, the semi-offical courthouse cat. She appeared in the parking lot four years ago, obviously pregnant and obviously needy. After a short stint in the jail, the dainty black feline with the white bib and snowy feet moved up to the courthouse, claiming it for her own. A jar in the sheriffs office quickly filled with coins, and Pruddy took a trip to the vet’s to eliminate all chances of her populating the county with little Pruddies. Although she sometimes blessed the Washington Town Council, the Board of Supervisors and the judges with her presence and even occasionally visited The Inn down the Rappahannock News photo/Daphne Hutchinson SAYING “SEE YOU LATER,” not “Farewell,” at Mrs. Blackwell's retirement party are Frances Foster, Nancy Reeve and Connie Dwyer. street for dinner or popped into a wedding at the Baptist Church, for the last four years the cat was usually on Miss Blackwell’s desk, in a sunny corner of the General District Clerk's Office, or curled sleeping around her ankles. So of course, when Miss Blackwell resigned, folks expected she would take the cat home to Jenkins Hollow. “Miss Pruddy goes with the job!” Miss Blackwell announced. (She allowed as how she tried once before to introduce the courthouse cat to her pets at home and the interloper was rejected unanimously.) But Miss Blackwell noted that attitude towards Jurisprudence was a prime consideration when she interviewed candidates for her replacement. “The first question she asked was, ‘What's the first thing you do when you get into the office in the morning?’ And I got it right: Feed the cat!” said Pat Davis, Miss Blackwell’s deputy for nine years who assumed the post on her retirement. “Filling Ruth’s shoes is going to be a big job, but I’m lucky in having her here to help,” Mrs. Davis said, noting that Miss Blackwell has agreed to be her deputy for the next year. “So we’ve just switched positions, and she’ll be able to make sufe I'm taking good care of Pruddy." Jurisprudence was a favorite topic of conversation at the retirement party. In between samples of the array of food covering the courtroom table from defense side to prosecution end, friends traded stories about the adventures of the clerk and the cat. Then as Miss Blackwell opened her card (which contained $435 as a retirement present). wags joked, “It’s 15,622 coupons for cat food!” And Miss Blackwell looked like that's what she expected to find inside the envelope. “Oh my! Oh my!” she explained upon discovering the surprise gift. The only hitch in the goings-on came when Mrs. Davis, who organized the party and the buffet, discovered that no one had put out the forks. As she went behind the judge’s bench to find the utensils. Miss Blackwell confided: “For 12 years. I’ve wondered what the judges kept back there. Now I know!” CMH below average in hospital infections A recent television report warned viewers of the “secret disease” — hospital acquired infections. Nationally, these infections vary from 5-10 percent of all hospital admissions. At Culpeper Memorial Hospital, unusually low rates of 1 percent to 1.5 percent were found by the Joint Commission on Health Care Organizations during a recent visit to renew the hospital’s accreditation. “These statistics show . we’re doing things righ,” said Dr. Harold Markham of Culpeper, the chairman of the CMH infection control committee. “The rate of hospital acquired infections is one of the earmarks of quality care in a hospital. Our rate shows the hospital has good care practices and good quality control,” he said. “A lot of work goes into keeping the rate of hospital acquired infection so low,” said Helen Holt, RN, infection control. “Infection is a concern of all health care workers — physicians, nurses, housekeeping — everyone must be mindful of risk factors associated with infection. At CMH, the staff is taught and constantly reminded to use proper techniques.” “We follow the Guidelines for Isolation Precaution in Hospitals published by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). These guidelines specify procedures to help prevent transfer of infectious disease from one patient to another or to the health care worker. “Not only do we try to prevent patients from becoming infected while in the hospital, but we also work to prevent infectious patients from spreading their diseases to others.” A hospital-acquired, or nosocomial, infection is any infection process which is clinically present 72 hours after admission but was not present and was not incubating in the patient at the time of admission. Rates of hospital-acquired infection are determined by dividing the JIM COPPAGE IS BACK WITH REID CHRYSLER-DODGE 1 I ■I j Over Thirty Years of Experience in Chrysler Sales Jim would like to invite all his Rappahannock friends and past customers to come by and see him.

It is also the right and responsi bility of the patient to ask doctors and nurses if they have washed their hands before an exam. “Most infections are transmitted hand to hand, and good handwashing helps prevent the spread of infection,” said Dr. Markham. “Our purpose is to help patients recover. Our nurses are highly conscious of preventing infection, and they work hard to do it.” NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BY THE COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK REAL ESTATE EQUALIZATION BOARD Pursuant to Section 58.1-3378 of the code of Virginia 1950, as amended the County of Rappahannock Real Estate Equalization Board will meet in the Court Room in Washington, Virginia on the following dates hereafter listed for the purpose of equalizing real estate assessments in the County and for the purpose of hearing all complaints of inequalities including errors in acreage in such real estate assessments.

When the two improvement projects now underway on Rt. 17 in Fauquier County are completed, the highway will be reopened to truck traffic, taking the big tractor-trailers off narrow Rt. 522 in Rappahannock. “It looks like that will happen sometime near the end of this year, in the fall,” Mr. Moore said. Because of several serious accidents involving tractor-trailers, Rt. 17 from Marshall to Warrenton was closed to the large trucks in November 1985. Due to the ban, truckers who used that route as the artery to connect with Rt. 29 are now plying Rt. 522 from Front Royal south through Rappahannock. Since the Rt. 17 ban was instituted, there have been four fatalities in two accidents in Rappahannock County which involved tractor-trailers. Under the Highway Department’s present position, the lifting of the Rt. 17 truck ban will not await completion of a third phase of the construction project for a section of the road near Marshall, he told the Rappahannock supervisors. Neither is the department “at this time” considering postponement of the ban's end until a spur around Warrenton is finished. • “I want the Highway Department’s word on that,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. “I suggest the board write and ask us to respond in writing,” the resident engineer advised. Fodderstack Classic lives! Since appealing for assistance to rescue the F’odderstack Classic from extinction, Rappahannock Recreation Authority member Diane Bruce said she has received offers from a number of county residents eager to help save the race. As a result of the response, which included Washington Mayor Dean Morehouse’s offer to serve with Ms. Bruce as codirector, the 10th running of the Fodderstack Classic will take place, on schedule, Saturday, April 16. Ms. Bruce announced that a meeting will be held Monday evening, Feb. 8, at 7:80 at the Courthouse for volunteers interested in helping with prerace preparations. She said that volunteers are needed for publicity, sign-making, contacting sponsors for contributions and “general running around between now and race day.” Anyone who is interested in helping but cannot attend Monday’s meeting, she added, is requested to contact Ms. Bruce at the county clerk’s office, 6753621. Ms. Bruce stressed that the organizers need all the help they can get, since the racepreparations are behind , schedule at this time.

FEBRUARY 4.1988 Editorial Up close and personal Admittedly, it’s a tired cliche, used by sports television to “flag” personality features on athletes (as opposed to, perhaps, distant and impersonal personality features?). But the phrase took on real meaning in Rappahannock last week, as a group of 10 Soviet visitors spent five days in the county. It was an opportunity for county residents to meet their superpower adversaries face to face, rather than through the reports of foreign correspondents and propaganda of official government spokesmen. Although the hosts and other volunteers involved with the visit have not gathered for their informal debriefing, the consensus among those who participated seems to be that it was a beneficial experience. That reaction appeared typical of the Soviet visitors as well. There were no earthshaking conclusions reached as a result of the visit, no solutions to the global problems which plague our societies. The spectre of nuclear annihilation still looms as menacingly above Rappahannock as it did before the Soviet delegation arrived last Wednesday. But the visit symbolized the energizing effect of personality — the human factor in international relations. What was formerly an inhuman Communist menace — “the evil empire” — now has faces. They laugh, they tell jokes (yes, even on themselves), they sing and dance, they like to watch television in their spare time, and they have children who aspire to be musicians and scientists. They are, in short, not much different from us. That’s not to say that there were no disagreements. The Soviets had trouble understanding some of our opinions, and some elements of their society still seem incomprehensible to us. There’s still a long way to go before we can comfortably meet the Soviet Union as a partner rather than as an adversary. But, if the statements of the visitors and the news reports of reforms instituted since Mikhail Gorbachev took office as General Secretary are to be believed, the Soviet Union has begun a fundamental shift of philosophy which just might end with cooperation rather than confrontation with the United States. Yes, there’s a long way to go before that dawn. But, as more than one person — on both sides — remarked during discussions last week, “There is no alternative.” The spectre of nuclear war seems to horrify them as much as it does us. And, for people with children who aspire to dreams of greatness, there truly is no alternative. And, as long as we’re talking — even if we disagree — we’re not fighting. Last week’s visit was a start, perhaps a small one, but even the greatest dreams start as tiny seeds within the minds of visionaries. They grow to fruition only with the help of others of like minds, even those who disagree on other matters. Perhaps, if enough seeds can be planted in enough minds on both sides of the ideological gulf which separates us, some day even this most improbable dream will bear fruit. DAR members hear talk on ‘Women in Service’ By DORIS C. LONGLEY Publicity Chairman A program on “Women in Service, Past and Present” was presented at the meeting of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, Jan. 12 at the Culpeper United Methodist Church. Speakers were Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, a member of the chapter, and Commander Anne Josephine Armstrong Chelf, USN (ret.). Mrs. Douglas Fairfax, Regent, presided at the meeting. Based on a new committee recognizing women in military service, 300 service women were present at the 1986 Continental Congress and recognized by the President General. Two of the women served in WWI. Mrs. Knuepfer elaborated on the part that such women as Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton played in earlier wars. In WW II women enlisted in the services and were allowed to play any part except in combat and command. She said that in WW II she left public education, received a commission in the U.S. Navy, and served overseas, working in intelligence communications. Commander Chelf served as a nurse in WW II, Korea, and Vietnam, giving aid to our veterans in hospitals. During her 26 years in the Navy she spent much of her time in the Portsmouth and San Diego hospitals. A major point made by Mrs. Knuepfer was that while women in the military were vital to the war effort, the women on the home front also served as an equally major force. Mrs. James Rumpler was named delegate to the Virginia Statue Conference in Norfolk March 11-13. Alternates are Mrs. Edgar Puryear, Mrs. Dale Metzinger, Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer and Mrs. Thomas Eastham. Mrs. Thomas Eastham was elected a delegate to the Continental Congress April 18-22 in Washington, D.C. Alternates are Mrs. Dale Metjdnger, Mrs. Nelson Lane, Mrs. Z. R. Gutowski and Mrs. Edgar Puryear. Commentary SNOW LIES ON A ROCK WALL near Ben Venue like dollops of frosting in a gingerbread fairyland. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Haller Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the Editor Where’s the value? 1 o the editor: The Jan. 21 issue of the Rappahannock News contained a letter from Mrs. Peggy Banker concerning a hunting incident. The letter contained defamtory remarks about me. I was shocked to read this letter on the editorial page of the Rappahannock News. My questions to the editor are: 1. Where is the editorial value of this letter to the Rappahannock community? 2. Where is the editorial content in this letter that would justify the publication of the letter? 3. Did the Rappahannock News make any effort to verify the story by calling me or any law enforcement officers to see if warrants were issued? I think the publication of this letter illustrates a lack of editorial control and direction of the Rappahannock News. I sincerely hope that the newspaper redirects itself to news stories and issues for local discussion, not to publishing letters of gossip. ALVIN HENRY Amissville Editor’s note: In the interest of fairness, Mr. Henry should have been contacted and the facts verified before the letter containing allegations against him was printed. Since those allegations were printed, however, without giving Mr. Henry an opportunity to respond, his reply is printed below. It is not the policy of the Rappahannock News, however, to allow the “Letters to the editor” column to become a forum for individuals to give public vent to private grievances. Letters should be directed to nuitters of public concern. - Lou Hatter Completely legal To the editor: The Jan. 21 issue of the Rappahannock News contained an article written by Mrs. Peggy Banker concerning the taking of a deer. The taking of the deer was completely legal in all respects. If Mrs. Banker believes that an illegal act was committed then she should bring criminal charges immediately. In the meantime, while the weather is bad, I advise Mrs. Banker to watch the local papers for rentals because I do not believe her lease will be renewed in 1988. ALVIN HENRY Amissville Generous neighbors To the editor: We would like to thank our customers for their recent donations to the Sheetz family. A jar was placed in the store and a total of $375 was collected. We appreciate all who donated. WILMA BURKE W & J Grocery Sperryville 0 VFBF slams Baliles’ plan Virginia farmers are “disappointed” with the agricultural funding proposed by Gov. Gerald L. Baliles in his budget message, said Virginia Farm Bureau Federation President Robert B. Delano. He promised that the VFBF would continue to lobby for more money for agriculture from the 1988 General Assembly. Mr. Delano said that the Governor’s proposal covered only “about 30 percent” of the $45 million agricultural wish list the Farm Bureau is seeking. Programs suggested by the VFBF include funding for strategic planning for farmers, agricultural biotechnology research, farmers’ market site construction, new initiatives to market and sell the state’s farm products domestically and abroad, and new equipment for the state Division of Forestry. “Research, education and marketing initiatives are our number one priorities,” Mr. Delano said. “We’ve had level funding for too many years in the first two (areas), and we’ve just begun to show some interest in marketing.” Mr. Delano said that 92,000 farmers represented by the VFBF are not satisfied with Gov. Baliles’ recommendation that state lottery profits fund his proposed farmers’ market system. “That would be second choice. A lottery is an unknown. We don’t know how much money it will raise, and it would be better to commit now toward the development of a farmers’ market system than it would be to wait and see what the lottery does.” No 4-lane needed To the editor: To whom it may concern! Don’t try to sell it to me like that! A double lane highway between Washington and Sperryville is not what Rappahannock County needs, as long as there is no bypass around Sperryville. The new “monster of concrete” will create a bottleneck in Sperryville. To make Rt. 211 safer it would be sufficient to post a speed limit of 45 mph which has to be ENFORCED. The trouble right now comes from drivers who go 75 mph and 50 mph through the flashing lights in front of the high school! The real reason why some local people are for the new highway is simple: They hope it will bring more business to Sperryville. They see already some more bucks on the hori- * zon. That’s the real reason: Money! They could care less about me getting safely out of my driveway! Keep making the bucks, guys and make Rappahannock into Fairfax! And as far as the millions for the construction are concerned: Take the money and put it into high-quality education — that’s where help is needed. Our children are the future! ULIMAEYER Washington A memorable experience To the editor: On behalf of all of us in Rappahannock County who benefitted so warmly and in such a personally meaningful way from the recent visit of our 10 Russian guests, we take this opportunity to thank Sandra Cartwright-Brown for her generosity and skill in making this opportunity available to us. Organizing a community-wide volunteer effort in a two-week period of time is no small task - Sandra carried it off with grace, skill, patience, and style. She set a warm, unpretentious, human tone for the visit which can only be , achieved by many hours of meticulous “behind the scenes” planning and organizing. Thanks, Sandra, for a memorable visit! \ DENISE H. HORTON, Ph.D. Amissville NELSPARSON ; Washington A footnote To the editor: A footnote to our joint letter. Never was the expression OUTREACH more applicable than on Thursday evening when we entertained the Russians at the covered dish supper in the Washington fire hall. Many people reached out in many ways to make it a success. Roger Roach and the Washington Volunteer Fire Department presented us with a beautifully clean fire hall. Donna Parson, Dot Mank and Mary Beth Shankle arranged the spectacular table decorations and organized the serving of the food. Ken and Mary Beth Shankle and Sid Mank helped to move furniture, provide firewood and clean up afterward. Dieter Knuepfer provided materials and tended the fires. David Arnold, Irma Ingle and Dave Konick obtained Soviet flags for us to display. Lou Hatter col- ~ ■ lected contributions for expenses at • the chilly door. Diane Bruce played maitre d" and escorted guests ter, ' their proper areas. Aileen Barnes and Diane Welty made a videotape of the entire evening. Godfrey and Larry Freeman controlled the car parking. The volunteer entertainers included the Dalelio family string quartet, the Gid Brown Hollow Church Youth Choir, the Wakefield Russian language students, Dan' Lewis and his country music quar-' tet, Sid Gottlieb’s square dancers, and Rappahannock artwork dis-' played by Laurie Marshall, Rex Slack and Robin Purnell. « And the audience was wonderfully warm and friendly to our, guests. Surely this effort by so many. helped to begin to bring the citizens of the two countries closer together.

ANDY GUEST R-31at More than 1,800 bills and resolutions had been filed by Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline and while many look to be new ideas on the horizon, some are old ideas back for another go ’round. However, for some, even a new year or a new committee referral is not enough to disguise an unenforceable law. Take cats for instance. Delegates Hardaway Marks and( Glenn McClanan each are pushing cat bills before 1 the House Agriculture Committee, even though the Courts of Justice Committee killed similar measures two years ago. Delegate Marks would like every cat in Virginia vaccinated for rabies arid Mr. McClanan would like to endow every cat and its owner with all the protective personal property rights currently accorded to dogs and their owners. On the surface, these bills may address practical problems in some urban localities, but in others these proposed mandates are not only impractical, but virtually unenforceable. t For example, at last count there are reported to be approximately one million cats living in the Commonwealth and I’d venture to say that very few are warming the hearth in the homes of caring cat owners. Last year in Virginia, there were approximately 100 reported cases of people who had been bitten by cats suspected of having rabies. The average cost for a full series of rabies shots runs about $500. If each Call 675-3349 to place your ad Real Estate Eileen M.

Match that against the more than $3 million for vaccination fees that would be incurred by cat-owning taxpayers if these laws were statemandated, and who knows how much more for licensing fees. Are farmers anti rural landowners in Virginia expected to account for every cat that strays onto their land or roams their barns and outbuildings in search of mice? Are local animal wardens going to be called in to pick up, identify, and house every stray cat in rural communities not wearing a collar or ID tag? As for adding cats to the list of animals considered personal property, committee members had an even tougher time comparing cats to dogs given their inherent independent nature and tendency to wander. Speculating upon the potential for flooding Virginia's courts with cat litigation cases, not to mention the costs incurred by owners and in fact all taxpayers, gave legislators yesterday not only pause for rational thought, but a chance for some goodhumored debate. The bottom line, however, is this: state legislators should remember that it’s as difficult to mandate state law for Virginia’s cats as it is for Virginia’s citizens! Del.

Sen. Trible told the committee as it started hearings on the INF treaty that “we will focus first on the INF accord itself, its character, its implications for American security and that of our NATO allies, and whether it can be improved by the Senate. Second, we will consider the principles embodied in the treaty as a basis for further reductions in nuclear arms." “I support President Reagan’s treaty,” the Senator added. “It is a tribute to the persistence and patience of the President and his negotiators. This accord embodies several principles crucial to the future of arms control: the right of onsite inspection, to help prevent the cheating that has marred past agreements; proportional reductions, so that the Soviets will give up more of their weapons than will the United States and our allies, and the elimination of nuclear arms from the Soviet and American arsenals, not merely reshuffling the nuclear chess board by relocating or retargeting weapons. “This treaty also has immense implications for the NATO alliance. The INF* accord caps a long and difficult process, one which has required an unmatched degree of cooperation and consultation within NATO. At every difficult stage of the process, the alliance spoke as one. The treaty is a success for NATO. That bodes well for the future of the Atlantic alliance. And that is vital, for the Soviets will surely try to test the strength of the alliance in future arms negotiations. “As those talks proceed, the alliance must continue to speak as one. I believe it will. America’s fundamental commitment to the defense of Western Europe is undiminished. We have acted in unison to remove one of the principal threats that NATO has faced. And we will continue to act in unison to preserve and strengthen the NATO alliance. “As President Reagan has said, this treaty is only a first step, a prelude to further arms reductions. I share the President’s hope that it will lead to cuts in strategic weapons and ultimately in other weaponry as well. “The President and Secretary of State have done much to move us down that path. I’m hopeful that they, the Senate, and this committee in particular, can continue together to seek arms reductions, to strengthen the NATO alliance, and to restore bipartisan cooperation at home,” Sen. Trible said. Arts commission offers grants The Virginia Commission for the Arts announces a March 1 application deadline for the following grants: Local Government Challenge Grants.

Words scribbled on rough construction paper and passed around in school, stimulating poetry by little children. Teenage words: sought on just the right card at the corner drugstore. Adult words: the passage of time filling each word with deeper meaning; the experiences of life making life bigger than life itself; the events of life making each day more precious than the last; the persons ot life becoming more real and valued than young life dared imagine. Valentine's Day is magic. It is the emotion of love in motion expressing itself in words and maybe actions. It is more than a day; it is a happening, pulling together the frayed edges of fast-track existence, making it easier to say the deep things of the heart. And maybe, just maybe, Valentine will become more than a day, more than a one-shot expression of love It could become a lifestyle in which all our days become acts of love expressed in actions of kindness. Said Jesus: "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." St. Valentine's Day could make SAINTS of us if we allow it to become daily rather than just a single day. « Sunday Matthew ' / 20:1-16 Monday Matthew 21:28-32 Tuesday Wednesday Matthew Matthew 21:33-46 25:1-13 Scriptures Selected by The American Bibte Society y ^/'Thursday Matthew 25:14-30 Friday Matthew 25:31-36 Saturday Matthew 25:37-46 owrvices. u no* BUUb.

Sweets for the sweet By SANDRA RICHARDSON Kxtension Agent. Home Economics St. Valentine dates back to the days of Emperor Claudius. A Roman priest, this saint is said to be the patron saint of lovers. It was during this time that Claudius passed a law forbidding marriage because of the difficulty he was having getting men to be in the military. St. Valentine, being full of compassion for the lovers, secretly performed marriages until he was caught and beheaded on Feb. 14, 269 A.D. Some authorities belive it to have been 270 A. I). The English were particularly caught up in this Christian holiday. For them, it was a day to exchange love messages and gifts. The custom is still practiced today. Valentines were made commercially around 1800. A Massachusetts lady, Esther Howland, began a lucrative business making valentines in 1830 which is said to have brought her $100,000 a year. One never thinks of Valentine’s Day without thinking of candy. Here are two confections to make for your sweetheart.

Edward Pawley, screen, stage actor, lived here 32 years Edward J. Pawley, 86, of Rock Mills, died Jan. 27 in Charlottesville. Mr. Pawley and his wife Helen, who predeceased him, had been residents of Rappahannock since 1955. They once operated a general store at Rock Mills, raised championship goats, and marketed fruit preserved in honey. Their home near the bridge at Rock Mills was ravaged by the flood of 1979. The Pawleys narrowly escaped the rising waters by crawling out an upstairs window and up a steep bluff. They later built a new home on higher ground. Befpre retiring from the theater, Mr; Pawley appeared in dozens of plays and movies. His first role, at the age of 18, was a bit part as a Chinaman in a Broadway play. His most famous part was the title role in the first production of “Elmer Gantry.” He toured the country in that controversial play, drawing demonstrators, criticism from preachers throughout the MidWest and these remarks from a Cleveland critic: “Edward Pawley plays the role pf Elmer Gantry, although plays is hardly the word. He lives the part, flis real nature is so far removed from that of the type which he portrays, that he is able to understand the shallowness of the character of Elmer Gantry to a fine degree. Pawley has a keen appreciation of life, and throughout the play he shows a genuineness of understanding of the possibilities of the role.” A keen appreciation of life characterized Mr. Pawley’s behavior throughout his long and varied career. After his successful appearance as Gantry, his dramatic and motion picture career was devoted mostly to the portrayal of villains.

His dark good looks and booming voice won him roles in more than 50 “talkies" during the early days of Hollywood. He appeared with Humphrey Bogart, George Raft, Wallace Beery and Mickey Rooney as well as countless other stars. Nelson Eddy was a rival for the affection of Helen Shipman, whom Pawley later married. An earlier marriage ended in divorce. Inseparable until her death in 1984, Helen and Edward returned East, where Edward accepted the role of Steve Wilson in “Big Town," a radio drama that ran for 13 years. It was during this time that the Pawleys discovered the Blue Ridge Mountains and Rappahannock County. Mr. Pawley was born in 1901 in Kansas City, Mo., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Pawley. His parents had been pioneers in the settlement of the prairie. He got his start in show business by reading syndicated news over the wire. His stentorian voice and loquacity stayed with him until his death, as did his love of drama. Friends gathered around him in his hospital room to read scenes from Shakespeare and from “Treasure Island,” a movie in which he’d appeared as a pirate. He was a man of remarkable dignity and integrity, loved by children and his rural community. He was a devoted patriot and often wrote poems that revealed a deep love of his country. Some of his show business habits stayed with him until his death. He was known for staying up all night and sleeping a good part of the day. He loved music and in younger days often staged music festivals on the river flat below his home. He is survived by his first wife Martina, a son John Herbert of Oregon, three grandsons and a grande daughter. A memorial service will be conducted Saturday, Feb. 6, at 2 p.m. at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church near Woodville. There will be an opportunity for personal tributes to Mr. Pawley. Following the service there will be an informal potluck supper in the parish hall. il !

V Sports and Outdoor Life Hunter class in Madison The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has announced that a hunter education class has been scheduled to be held on two Sundays, Feb. 7 and 14, from 1 to 6 p.m. at the War Memorial Building ip Madison. There is no charge for the course. The classroom is on the second floor above the Sheriffs Department. The department reminds hunters that proof of attendance at a hunter education class becomes a mandatory requirement for a hunting license on July 1. As of that date any person who does not have a valid license from the previous year and all hunters under 16 years of age must have taken the 10-hour course to get a hunting license. The requirement for the class applies to all first-time hunters. The class will teach all safety aspects of hunting, as well as offer tips which can be learned from the experienced instructors. Although registration for the class is not required, it is requested so that the instructors have some idea of how many students to expect. For information or to register-for the class, call Robert Tanner, 948-4483, or Steve Hoffman, 948-4453. Vocational Education Week The staff and students of Piedmont Technical Education Center are asking parents, students, civic and business leaders to join the nation’s annual salute to vocational education during Vocational Education Week, Feb. 7-13. This year’s theme “Vocational Education: A Competitive Edge” was selected to provide enriching educational experiences for students to better prepare them for the working world after graduation. According to a PTEC spokesman, “vocational education is important to PTEC and other students in Virginia because it’s estimated that 80 percent of all jobs do not require a college education.” The future will bring more and different jobs, she continued, which will mean demands for more skilled workers, a change in the nature of the workforce and multiple-career employees — some of whom may change careers as many as three times. The spokesman added that vocational education provides many benefits to both the participating students and to society as a whole, including: • Strengthening basic academic skills. • Offering an alternative learning method for students who learn more readily through practical applications rather than with abstract thinking. • Providing an alternative route to higher education, since 30 percent of vocational education students go on to college. • Reducing the dropout rate, which reduces welfare costs and crime rates. • Providing occupational skills which increase the training of the workforce. • Motivating students disenchanted with traditional education. • Fostering good work attitudes. • Providing students with opportunities to explore career choices. During and after the vocational education, graduates and businesses also profit from increased annual hours of employment, higher earnings, less on-the-job training, higher employment rates and greater job productivity. Along with the rest of the PTEC students, the Home Economics Related Occupations chapter of the Future Homemakers of America will participate in a variety of activities, including demonstrations, dinners and contests. The 11,000 FHA students nationwide will observe FHAHERO Week in conjuntion with Vocational Education Week. “FHA-HERO Week,” said chapter president Penny Slaughter, “gives us a chance to expand the traditional image and let the public know that our organization is concerned and doing something about nutrition and health, care for the elderly and handicapped, alcohol and drug abuse, community service and leadership and development.” Globetrotters trip Mar. 13 The Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring a trip to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Capital Center on Sunday, March 13. The chartered bus will leave Fauquier High School at noon and will return around 6 p.m. The cost is $22 for county resi dents and $26 for non-residents. Register by Wednesday, Feb. 24. “All ages will be amazed at the razzle-dazzle dribbling wizardry of the Trotters as they do their famous ‘weave’,” said Sharon Bishop, trip supervisor for the department. Concessions will be available at the Capital Centre. Phone the department at (703) 349-1910, during office hours, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., for more information.

X-C lessons at Crockett Park As the winter snow lies quietly on the ground, many people ask, “What outdoor sports can I do in the snow?” The Fauquier County C. M. Crockett Park has the answer. On Saturday, Feb. 13, Fauquier County Parks and Recreation and Class V Outfitters are presenting a Cross Country Ski Workshop at Crockett Park beginning at 2 p. m. This free two-hour workshop is designed for everyone from the beginner to skilled skiers. Some of the topics covered will be how to purchase ski equipment, stretching for skiing, dressing for warmth, and skiing tips. If participants do not have their own skis, Class V Outfitters, in the Towne Centre Shopping Center, Warrenton, offers ski rental. “We hope to ski through Crockett Park and practice what we have learned,” said Class V co-manager David Oldaker. In the event of no snow, all subjects will be covered and a video of ski techniques will be shown instead of the skiing practice. Advance registration is requested so the park’s staff can determine how many people to prepare for. For more information on this workshop, or to make a reservation, call Crockett Park at 788-4867 or Class V Outfitters at 347-5402, by Friday, Feb. 12.

Soviets Continued from Page 1 eration. and the group was served coffee by Quita and Ike Parrish. They also watched two sows being readied for the Front Royal Livestock Market. After leaving the farm, they visited Phillip Strange's woodworking shop, where he presented each member of the group with a souvenir tile. The next stop was the Comer Post Restaurant in Flint Hill, w here the group was joined by the two women staying at the Conyers House, who were beginning to catch the Rappahannock flu. Proprietor Peggy Clark served her guests a "typical country meal" of meatloaf and gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad and pecan pie. Then it was off to the Front Royal Livestock Market. By Thursday evening, both ol the Cartwright-Browns’ guests were in bed with the flu. but the other visitors attended a community covered-dish supper at the Washington Fire Hall. Elina Skhortladze began the evening with a joint toast with organizer Nels Parson to Soviet-American friendship and world peace. She later delighted the audience by singing several well-known songs, demonstrating both her fluency in English and her outgoing personality. After performances by several county groups (see "Letters to the editor” for a complete list of the volunteers and performers), Mr. Parson handed out song sheets with several songs in both Russian and English. On Friday morning, at the elementary school, Elena Skhortladze again took a lead role in the discussion with fifth, sixth and seventh grade students. Vladimir Lubomudrov, wearing his distinctive fur hat, was an immediate hit when he chose to sit on the floor with a group of students rather than in the chairs reserved for the Soviet guests. Several of the guests commented on how impressed they were with the freedom and openness with which the students participated, and how eager they were with their questions. Several times Elana Skhortladze was nearly overwhelmed with responses when she waded into the audience with the microphone. After lunch, the group went to Culpeper for a tour of the Keller Manufacturing Co., a furniture manufacturer. Ivan Boitsov questioned why the workers did not wear respirators or masks while working. “Don’t they realize they’re poisoning themselves?” he asked. Others found it interesting that the workers did hot stop their tasks to stare as the group walked through the plant. That brought an opportunity for the guests to be familiarized with the American concept of piecework. Following that tour, the group toured the Culpeper Star-Exponent with Lisa Currie, a Rappahannock resident who works at the newspaper. They were presented with autographed books by author Dr. John Dailey. In the evening, seven members of the group attended a glasnoststyle forum at the Trinity Church Parish Hall in Washington. (Rair Simon var and Ivan Boitsov preferred to stay at Nancy Reeve's house after dinner, while Elana Petushkova remained bedridden with the flu.) Dr. Denise Hershkowitz Horton served as moderator for the forum, which was attended by about 75 county residents. On Saturday, some of the group took a day trip to Richmond, where Ivan Boistov found his Civil War fancy fulfilled. Donna Dalton said that he and Ivan Simonyan spent “it seemed like hours" in the Museum of the Confederacy. Another group, led by Maurice and Jane Herndon, spent the day sightseeing on Skyline Drive and Luray Caverns. In the evening, there were several dinner parties for the guests at homes in the county. Messrs. Boistov and Simonyan joined Efam Gamburg and Elana Schortladze at Bill and Mitzie Young’s house. The Helmers’ two guests elected to stay at home after dinner. In Gid Brown Hollow, Alexei Pankin and Valentin Chernykh joined a dinner at the Keyser Mountain farm of Charles Russell and Walter Nicholls. After dinner, entertainment was provided by Linda Orfila and Joe Butler, who led the group in folk songs which lasted w ell into the night. After a free morning on Sunday, lunch and swimming were on the menu at Blackwater Homestead, the home of Sid and Margaret Gottlieb and Ruth and Bob Gowell. Meanwhile, another group, led by Dave Konick and Chris and Robby Parrish, went canoeing on the Thornton River. They put in at Laurel Mills and, despite Ivan Boistov and Nikky Konick taking a dunking, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. except lor tne two guests at the Conyers House, who by Sunday were benefiting from a house call by Dr. Jerry Martin, the rest of the Soviets attended Super Bowl parties at houses throughout the county. Presumably, they found it an interesting study in national culture to watch their American hosts go crazy over the Redskins’ romp. This visit of the Soviets has been an enriching experience to all concerned. Given the outpouring of volunteers, the county could well have hosted more than the 10 who came. In the event that the Center for Soviet-American Dialogue hosts another conference within the next few years, the site will likely again be Washington, D. C. In that case, the residents of Rappahannock County will again have the opportunity to open their homes and their hearts Phyllis Grimes, who coordinated the Rappahannock visit for the Center for Soviet-American Dialogue, asked that anyone interested in becoming involved with their work contact her. Her address is Ms. Phyllis Grimes Center for Soviet-American Dialogue 1U26NE 16th Place Bellevue, Wash. 98007 Rt. 211 Continued from Page 1 fic accident in July, 1986). That’s distress!” Supervisor Mike Massie, whose Hampton District includes the section of Rt. 211 planned for dual-laning, reported that he has received numerous phone calls and letters on the widening project. “Everyone who’s talked to me has been opposed to it.” When the project was first developed, “we didn’t have Interstate 66. That’s taken a lot of traffic out of Rappahannock County,” he said. “This issue has two sides. Let’s get both sides out on the table,” Mr. Massie suggested, calling for the project to be re-examined at a public hearing in Rappahannock County. “Then if we need to build the road, we should build it.” “We’ve had public hearings (on widening Rt. 211) in previous years,” Mr. Estes replied. “We’ve heard from the public ... Most of the right-of-way has been purchased.” Chairman Gilkey added that for those with concerns regarding the construction project, “the place to go is Culpeper” where the Highway Department will hold a public hearing at 10 a.m. on April 10 to address the six-year primary road plan for the Culpeper District. But despite the opposition, Mr. Massie introduced a resolution calling for a public hearing in Rappahannock. “I just can’t go along with that motion,” said Supervisor Ellis Bingham. “We need four lanes on that stretch simply for safety ... I drive that road, but I can’t tell you what’s on it. You can’t admire the views. If you don’t watch the road, they’ll have you hanging in the smokehouse!” Reporting that he’d received 15 calls in opposition to widening the highway. Supervisor Nelson Lane seconded the motion for a public hearing here, although to Mr. Estes’s question, he acknowledged that he’d voted for the comprehensive plan which designates the area for future development and calls for the dual-laning of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. The motion was killed by majority vote, with Supervisors Massie and Lane voting for the local hearing. Supervisors Bingham and Gilkey joined Mr. Estes in voting against the hearing. rSperryvtlle Realty—.

They don’t like being where they are . . . You’re not going to get rave reviews for anything you feed them.” Rave reviews, however, are exactly what Mr. Baumgardner says he got when he served home fries, scrambled eggs, sausage, and fresh sliced tomatoes from the Hampton Inn for the Brotherhood of St. Andrew^ Saturday morning breakfast meeting at Trinity Church. The Board of Supervisors’ record from last month’s meeting mistakenly describes the quality of the food at the restaurant, he concluded. “I just want to correct the record.” Saying he sometimes eats twice a day at the roadside restaurant on Route 211, Alex Sharp questioned “how meals can be so bad for the jail and so good for everybody else.” “If there was a country cooking hall of fame, Mrs. Cibula would be one of its stars," maintained Bill Frizzell. The prisoners never get leftovers; all the food is cooked that day, Mrs. Cibula attested. If the food is sometimes cold, it’s because deputies are late picking up the trays or because they carry the containers in the back of a pick-up truck on the mile run from the restuarant to the jail, she maintained. After rough handling, the dinners sometimes look like they’ve been “emptied into a bag, shook up and dumped back out,” she said. “But I can’t be re sponsible for what happens after they leave the restaurant." To the sheriffs charge that prisoners eat less than half the food on their plates. Mrs. Cibula blamed the lack of appetite on consumption of too many snacks. As a business operator with continuing customers, Roseanne Sharp said she hopes a complaint would be given to her rather than “held back for four years” and then announced in the newspaper. Mrs. Cibula maintained that she’d told the sheriff if anything was wrong with the food she supplies the jail to send the meal back and she would replace it or deduct the price from the county’s bill. The only dinner ever returned contained “a red, curly hair that looked like it came from a man’s beard. It sure didn't come from my place!” “I’ve been in the restaurant business for 24 years,” Mrs. Cibula continued. “I’ve never had anyone bring a meal back. I’ve never had anyone made sick. I've never had anyone find anything in the food.” She agreed that it would be more convenient for the sheriff to have a kitchen at the jail. “I was only doing it until they got a kitchen ... I was doing it as a favor until they could do better. I don’t need the business. I got plenty of business.” Sheriff Woodward emphasized that his intent has never been to hurt Mrs. Cibula’s restaurant trade. “I was bringing information to the supervisors about the problems I was having. Maybe it’s great food served at her restaurant, but I still stand with what I said last month.” The sheriff explained that under regulations governing jail operations, prisoners must be given canteen privileges and meals can be reheated only in a certified kitchen. “If there are problems in picking up the meals on time, I’ll take care of that.” According to Sheriff Woodward, he and at least one other deputy have relayed complaints to Mrs. Cibula in the past. “But when we’ve called, she doesn’t believe us." He gave Mrs. Cibula credit for providing meals three times a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, for four years. “She’s never missed a meal . . . There’s no way I’m trying to put her business down or put her down in any way whatsoever,” the sheriff said. And he also reported that every inmate has said the meals are “100 percent better” in the past month. But he told the supervisors, “I can’t throw a grievance in the trash can.” “If you want a kitchen, you don’t have to put down my business,” Mrs. Cibula countered. “Just ask for a kitchen!" Supervisor Nelson Lane maintained that the problem arises from the state’s offer to pay 50 percent of the costs of projects such as the kitchen expansion. “That money is going to be spent, and John Henry wants to get county improvements from it.” Chairman Gilkey disagreed. “The problem stems from complaints from inmates.” Turning to Mrs. Cibula and the sheriff, he said: “We need each other in this situation. Do you think you two could sit down together and work this thing out?” “ You’re not going to satisfy those inmates! I don t know what there is to talk to him about,” Mrs. Cibula answered, still stewing. Supervisor Ellis Bingham, a retired Army colonel, suggested that the county, provide special insulated trays for transporting the meals from the restaurant to the jail. He also proposed keeping a log on when meals are picked up and buying one extra meal. “One of your men eats that meal,” he told the sheriff. “That’s normal military procedure for seeing that soldiers get what they’re supposed to have.” “And we’ll continue to look into the addition of a kitchen, but we can do it at our leisure,” he added. “I’m well satisfied with her contract. If it was up for vote today, I’d vote for continuing it,” said Supervisor Charles Estes. But the former sheriff advised Mrs. Cibula to avoid grease as much as possible in preparing meals for jail inmates. With Mrs. Cibula agreeing to talk with the sheriff, the board put the matter of jail food on the back burner until next month when the catering contract will be up for renewal. Rezoning Continued from Page 1 an office building or you can make it into an apartment building’.” “It seems that nobody on the council disagrees with what Skippy wants to do,” Mr. Reynolds said, “but you have to look at what it will mean for other parcels of property in all the zoning districts, and especially at village residential,” if the council determines that the uses which Mr. Giles requests are permitted under the grandfather clause of the zoning ordinace (which permits existing uses to continue even though they may not be allowed under the provisions of the ordinance). “If you stretch it for this one, you’ll have a hard time defending your decision if you don’t stretch it for someone else,” the attorney cautioned. Rezoning must be for general benefit As fr - rezoning the Cash Store propert; village mixed-use, a category in which both apartments and offices are allowed by special use permit, “you may not make a decision to benefit a particular person, only to benefit the general public,” K. Mr. Reynolds said. Rezoning only the Cash Store lot to accommodate Mr. Giles would constitute “spot zoning” and is thus illegal. But he gave the council several alternatives which would allow Mr. Giles to accomplish his plans for the general store. First, the town’s zon-s^ ing ordinance could be amended to allow up to three apartments and governmental offices in village residential areas by special use permit. Another option, he added, would be to rezone that lot and some adjoining properties to village mixeduse. “Zoning for the economic benefit of an individual is illegal, but if a public purpose is met... if it’s in the interests of the citizens of the town to have more apartments in that area, then you can do it,” Mr. Reynolds said. The key to legally rezoning properties, he said, is to connect any new mixed-use zone to properties already zoned in that category. Mayor Dean Morehouse said that he was comfortable with either option, but noted that since he owns property on the block under consideration, he would abstain from any decision on rezoning that area. Mrs. Thomasson said that she preferred to rezone the block as opposed to amending the ordinance. “Absolutely,” agreed council Eileen M.

I i I—T r T T member Peter Skowronski. “I was under the impression that we’d said we would rezone it if the need arose. 1 thought (that block) should have been mixed-use in the'first place.” He added that it is “the most reasonable spot to rezone in the town." Brad Fisher told his fellow council members that he felt since both apartments and offices are included under permitted retail uses, Mr. Giles' proposal could be accommodated by interpreting the ordinance to allow the two uses under the grandfather clause — since the store is grandfathered as a retail use. If that’s the council’s decision, Mr. Reynolds replied, “Just make sure you understand that’s what good for the goose is good for the gander. If you do it for one, you’re going to have to do it for all, or you’ll find yourselves in court.” Fran Eldred reminded the council that many residents in the town were upset by its decision in 1986 to deny Mr. Giles his request for mixed-use zoning for the property. Requires amendment of Comprehensive Plan A decision to rezone the block would require the amendment of the town’s Comprehensive Plan first, Mr. Reynolds said. The future land use map included in the plan must be amended to show the change proposed by the council. The council must also hold a public hearing to consider the amendment. A joint public hearing with the Planning Commission is permissible to speed up the process, “but there’s no way you can do it in less than a month and it would probably take two months to do it right,” the attorney said. He pointed out legal requirements for two weeks of public advertisement of the council’s intentions. “You have to listen to the public, too, and they may not want this to happen.” The council approved a resolution requesting the Planning Commission to consider an amendment to the comprehensive plan to accommodate the rezoning proposal, and asking for a recommendation on the plan to rezone Lots 16, 16A, 17 and ' ’ 17A from village residential to village mixed-use. The council requested a reply within 30 days and set a joint public hearing for the meeting Feb. 10. Mr. Morehouse told Mr. Giles that date was the earliest which he could get an answer, “and the latest is the March meeting, if the Planning Commission doesn’t make a recommendation at the joint public hearing.” SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!! & Environs..
