BZA says an amendment to ordinance - not a variance — is answer in Rappahannock Lakes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Like a greasy hamburger from a truckstop diner, substandard subdivisions keep coming back. The big belch giving local officials indigestion this time is the aftermath of an old subdivision carved into the middle of farm and conservation land near Amissville. Rapphannock Lakes, the 70-lot development created in the late 1950s, pre-dates local zoning and subdivision ordinances. Under current regulations, the highest density allowed in the county is one dwelling unit per acre in the village residential zoning districts; in Rappahannock Lakes, the density is three dwellings, sometimes even four, per acre. Most — if not all — of the 30-some houses already built in the subdivision fail to meet today’s setback standards of 75 feet from the front lot line and 50 feet from side and rear boundaries. The public water system which is supposed to serve the subdivision has problems suppling sufficient water to the few taps it has; other homeowners get water from a second atcapacitv well belonging to another landowner, and new residents must rely on private wells on the small lots. By-laws leave the subdivision’s homeowners' association without “authority. power, or ability to finance a publicwater system," according to zoning ad-ministrator John McCarthy. The association's president says it maintains only the well house, leaving the leaky lines the responsibility of individual home owners. The private roads maintained by the association have a right-of-way of 40 feet, but the road surfaces are less than 15 feet wide, too narrow for cars coming in opposite directions to pass. Never approved today Rappahannock Lakes Subdivision would never be approved today. But the water system, the roads, and the houses that were here before the zoning and subdivision ordinances are beyond local government's regulatory power. Not so the pearly 40 lots in the subdivision that don’t vet have houses. A few, like similar small lots in Chestei Gap’s Blue Ridge Mountain Estates, may prove unbuildable because they lack enough land for a Health Department-approved septic system and well. But others have drainfields and wells already okayed by sanitarian Jack Lockhart. At least in the eyes of the state, those lots can be built on without endangering public health and safety. It is one of those lots that is presenting the county with a sticky land use question. John Hur is the contract buyer for a 15,000 square-foot lakeside lot owned by Thorne Tracy; the sales agreement is contingent upon issuance of a variance that would allow Mr. Hur to build on that lot. . McCarthy takes variance case to the supervisors In a three-page memo dated j Feb. 26, Zoning Administrator j John McCarthy takes the Rappahannock Lakes case to the Board , of Supervisors, repeating the arguments for a variance which were rejected — but for different reasons — by the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. Rappahannock Lakes, a collection of lots one-quarter to onehalf acre subdivided in the late i 1950s, became non-conforming when the county adopted its 1973 zoning ordinance. Its designation as R-l, or Residential Village, i prohibited further subdivision I due to its minimum lot size of one acre. Most properties could meet the 1973 requirements for 20-foot side setback, 50-foot rear setback. and 75-foot front setback in R-l. But with the adoption of the I960 zoning ordinance, Rappahannock Lakes was rezoned RR5 (Rural Residential with a density of one dwelling unit per five acres), increasing the sideyard setbacks to 50 feet. Now, most properties can't meet all the setI back regulations. Mr. McCarthy sees three ways out of the difficulties pre; sented by John Hur, the contract buyer for one of Rappahannock Lakes' now-unbuildable lots. | Two are legislative, as suggested by the BZA when it referred the \ issue to the supervisors to re1 view for the formation of a geneval regulation to address the difficulties presented by Mr. Mur's application, and the others ! which will likely follow. The first is rezoning the enj tire subdivision to Residential Village or Residential 2. But Mr. ; McCarthy holds that putting Rappahannock Lakes in a more dense zoning category is “almost ! completely unacceptable and not in keeping with proper zoning ! practice ... It is clearly not a vil! lage area nor is it intended to be j an area where new growth and development are to be encouraged.” Rappahannock has traditionally followed a “layered” approach to zoning: the greatest density coming in the village areas (Residential Village with one dwelling per acre), moving out to Residential 2 (one dwelling per two acres), then Rural Residential 5 (one dwelling per five acres) and finally Agriculture (one dwelling unit per 25 acres). According to Mr. McCarthy, Rappahannock Lakes was zoned Rural Residential in the previous zoning ordinance, which was in effect until December 1986, only because the subdivision existed. The Planning Commission and then-Board of Supervisors, he said, purposely avoided rezoning the development for two reasons: • “First, that to zone to a higher density would not be in accord with the ‘layered' approach followed in most other cases; there would be no transition from highest density to lowest. • “Second, because the courts have^-gtmerally felt that the higher the density allowed on one parcel, then the more scrutiny they will attach to re-zoning requests on adjacent parcels. In short, the courts subscribe to the ‘layered’ approach, and don’t care for land-use decisions which treat like-situated parcels radically differently.” In addition. Mr. McCarthy pointed out, rezoning to RV or R-2 would not be necessary’ for all the lots in Rappahannock Lakes to meet the zoning ordinance’s standards; some do not need front-yard setbacks reduced by 50 percent and the sideyards by 60 percent as would be the case in those zoning districts. A second option, rezoning to ajiew zoning category, appears “on its face, more practical," See McCarthy, p. 5 He proposes to construct a modest twostory, two-bedroom house, a 20 foot by 20 foot structure. At public hearings before the Planning Commission and the Hoard of Zoning Appeals, Mr. Hur explained that options for siting the house are limited. The lot is only 150 tee! iontr. A drainfield installed by Mr. Tracy m lio-ti had to be put 50 feet from the lake. That leaves l'*o feet for the house. But any structure must be 20 feet from the drainfield on the rear >ide and 75 feet from the lot line at the front. if Mr. Hur built a house to current zoning standard-, it could only be five feet long. The lot is 90 feet at its widest bordering the road and tapers to so feet. Regulations stipulate that a structure must be 50 feet from the property lines on either side. That means there’s no way any house can be built and still meet the side setback regulations. Setback changes a problem Mr. Hur initially applied for variances of 20 feet from the front lot line. 50 fbet from one side line, and 30 feet from the other. Rapphannock’s zoning ordinance stipulates that lots such as the one in question, which were legally recorded and did meet the regulations in effect at the time, may be put to any use permitted in the applicable zoning district — in this case a private dwelling allowed by right in rural residential zones. Further, it specifically authorizes the Board of Zoning Appeals to reduce yard requirements if so doing would not unreasonably restrict the use of adjacent lots. But under both local ordinances and state enabling legislation, the BZA must apply four tests before granting a variance: 1. Would strict application of the ordinance produce undue hardship approaching confiscation by effectively prohibiting or unreasonably restricting the use of the property? 2. Is the hardship.of such a general and recurring nature that it can be corrected by an amendment to the zoning ordinance? 3. Would the authorization of the variance be of substantial detriment to adjoining property? • i Would it change the character of the neighborhood? Failure to satisfy any of those standards means failure of the variance application; satisfaction of all four means the variance must be issued. By majority vote at a public hearing two weeks ago, the Planning Commissioners (with Bob Anderson opposed) recommended that the BZA deny Mr. Hur’s variance request. “Originally, somebody put in that septic field. Then they knew they couldn't build on the lot. You didn’t put any money out for that septic system, so there’s no hardship on you,” See VARIANCE, p. 14 On the road to ‘Super Tuesday’ Debate marked by harsh words and iibes i Democratic, GOP voters By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer WILLIAMSBURG — For the five Democratic candidates for President who debated here Monday, it was the 24th time they had faced each other — and the voters. The strain of the long campaign was evident. After a debate in Atlanta on Sunday, Sen. A1 Gore, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Gov. Michael Dukakis, Sen. Gary Hart and Rep. Richard Gephardt arrived in Colonial Williamsburg late Monday afternoon. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois, who indicated last week that he intended to participate, did not. Sen. Simon’s campaign is on hold until after Super Tuesday. The debate, which centered on economic issues, was marked by fractious exchanges between the participants, who chided each other over previous votes and alleged “flip-flops” on campaign promises. Rep. Gephardt found himself the target of particularly hostile exchanges: Sen. Gore asked Rep. Gephardt if he thought the “ReaganGephardt tax bill” of 1981 was fair. Mr. Gephardt responded that he thought any tax bill which cut taxes to middle income families was a good idea. “Is it fair?” Sen. Gore persisted, “Is it fair?” “Are you finished?” Rep. Gep-hardt shot back. “Are you finished?” “If you’ll answer the question,” Sen. Gore replied. “I thought they taught you manners at St. Alban’s,” was Rep. Gep-hardt’s terse response, adding, “You bet it’s fair to give two-thirds of the cuts to families that earn less than $50,000.” “But was the bill fair?” Sen. Gore asked again. "Can you hear, Al?" Rep. Gep-hardt replied testily. After the debate, Sen. Gore told reporters he thought Rep. Gep-phardt’s ad campaign, attacking Democrats who had voted against the tax cut, was “scurrilous . . . It’s outrageous for a Democratic candidate to tout the Reagan tax bill —and to criticize those who voted against it.” Gov. Dukakis promised a reply to the ads, and Sen. Gore said he would probably — albeit reluctantly — respond also. Gov. Dukakis crossed swords with Rep. Gephardt as well, when the Massachusetts governor explained that the oil import tax favored by Rep. Gephardt would wreak havoc on the economy of Mexico. “Are you running for President of Mexico or President of the United States?” Mr. Gephardt retorted. Sen. Hart, who has refused to take any political action comSee DEBATE, p. 14 Debating points Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter SEN. AL GORE JR. and Rev. Jesse Jackson share a moment of agreement (top).

Richard Gephardt listens. face two distinct primaries Virginia’s first-ever presidential primary, scheduled to coincide with 13 other Southern primaries and caucuses on March 8, is an entirely different situation for members of the two major political parties. Because of the way the primary is structured, each voter may request either a Republican or Democratic ballot, but not both. The voter does not have to express a party affiliation in order to obtain a ballot, nor does that choice, or the vote cast in the primary, obligate the voter in any way in the November general election. However, political observers have predicted that the traditional independence of Virginia voters and elected officials may express itself in a low turnout because of the requirement of choosing a party ballot, which many may see as a de facto expression of party preference. For Democrats, binding choices For Democrats, the vote is a binding preference poll, which will allocate 75 of the state’s 85 delegates to the national convention later in the summer. According to county Democratic chairman Lee Bird, each candidate will be assigned representatives in the county’s delegation to the district convention. The number each candidate receives will be proportional to the percentage of the vote each got within the county, or statewide, on March 8. Any candidate receiving less than 15 percent will get no delegates. Rappahannock’s delegat ion. along with groups from each county’s Democratic committee, ■* ill meet at a district caucus, where delegates to the state convention will be selected. There, the same process is repeated, with delegates selected again to represent each candidate at the Democratic National Convention. Again, representation is propor- ' tional to the vote each candidate received in the primary. Of the state’s 85 delegates to the national convention, 75 will be pledged to specific candidates. Under state party rules, the remaining 10, including the governor and party officials, are uncommitted. According to the State Hoard of Klections, the following Democrats had tiled a “Declaration of Candidacy" with the board, and will appear on the Ballot March 8. The names will appear on the ballot in the order and manner in which they are listed below: Bruce Babbitt Michael S. Dukakis Dick Gephardt A1 Gore Gary Hart Jesse L. Jackson Lyndon LaRouche Haul SimonBecause the closing date for filing declarations w as Jan. 20, several individuals appear who have since announced that they have dropped out of the race, including Gov. Bruce Babbitt of Arizona. Another candidate, Sen. Paul Simon. has announced that he wall not campaign in the South due to financial difficulties, and will re-open his campaign in the Mid-western primaries on March 15.

VA 221860631 Burning ban in effect Rappahannock News pholo'Lou Hatter BRUSH FIRES, like this one on the Shade Road in January, can be prevented by obeying the state’s burning ban, now in effect until May 15. No outdoor burning, including inside open barrels, is allowed until after 4 p.m. Even then, Forest Warden Tippy Jenkins cautions residents to be careful — sudden gusts can blow sparks into dry grass or leaves. He suggests that burning be postponed until rain is falling or after the ban is lifted. For information on burning laws, a pre-fire check of the burn area, or advice on whether current conditions are okay for burning, call Warden Jenkins, 987-8837. Mr. Jenkins also suggested that anyone doing a controlled bum call the Sheriff’s Department (675-3331) and advise the dispatcher, so that reports of smoke don’t bring out the fire department. Baumgardner to help Gore Rappahannock attorney Dol?jj Baumgardner will serve as a coordinator in the presidential campaign of Tennessee Senator Albert V. Gore Jr., the campaign has announced. Mr. Baumgardner, a member of the county’s Democratic Committee, said that “Senator Gore is a Southerner, and he comes closer than any other candidate to representing the views of most Virginians.” Daniel Martin, Senator Gore's Virginia coordinator, said that he expects Mr. Baumgardner to be “an integral part of our team. We’re proud to have him on board.” Senator Gore, who opted to concentrate his campaign on the South rather than spread himself through Iowa and New Hampshire, has said that he considers the Commonwealth a key to a good showing,in the March 8 Super Tuesday primaries. Another Virginian, Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, is serving as Senator Gore’s National Campaign Co-Chairman. Amnesty Month at Library Librarian Dee Brents and t,he Board of Trustees have declared March 1988 Amnesty Month at the Rappahannock County Library. All overdue books may be returned during March with no fines collected and no questions askedFines already levied will also be forgiven. Mrs. Brents added that after April 1, anyone with books or other library materials overdue, fines unpaid, or charges for lost books outstanding will not be allowed to check out books until the overdues are returned and all fines are paid. Ever-increasing costs of replacement and paperwork make it more important than ever that all Library materials be returned on time and all charges paid promptly, Mrs. Brents said. cl \ 626.

Proposed school budget would require 10 percent increase in funding by county RAAC presents Russian cellist Sieva Lezhnev The $3,828,504 school budget for 1988-89 presented at Tuesday’s special School Board meeting represents a balance between meeting “goals and aspirations for the educational program” and being “as fiscv4iy conservative as possible,” according to Superintendent David Gangel. It also represents an increase of 12 percent over this year’s $3,407,792 school allocation and a 10 percent increase — from $1,727,950 to $1,903,281 — in local funds. Under current assessments whereby each cent on the tax rate brings in $22,000, that increase in the county’s share of school costs works out to about eight cents more on the local real estate levy. Howver, Dr. Gangel repeatedly emphasized that the revenue picture remains unclear. With two weeks left in the General Assembly session, “it’s impossible to tell exactly What the funds (from the state for education) will be,” he said. And this year, the picture is fuzzed further by having the Secretary of Education, ' rather than the state Department of Education staff, working closely with the governor on the education budget for the next biennium, Dr. Gangel noted. The funding level hasn’t been altered significantly “but what the funds are earmarked for ,*4ias drastically changed . . . They’re taking a whole fresh look at how the funds should be used, but it doesn’t add up because some programs are already in place.” As an example, he cited announcements from Richmond that state aid will cover 100 percent of the health insurance premiums for school employees, but without providing any additional funding for this. “They’re just dividing the pie different ways,” he explained, indicating that state money formerly directed to other categories of edu. cation programs will now go to health insurance instead. Also, he said, the state is counting projected increases in local sales tax revenue — previously listed as a miscellaneous funding source — in the increase in state aid. In another example. Dr. Gangel , told the board that part of the money local school divisions receive for transportation and vocational education has been moved from categorical to basic aid; as categorical aid, it . was allocated on the basis of enrollment, but as basic aid, it is allocated through the composite index, a fortnula heavily weighted for land values which is used by the state to determine a locality’s ability to pay ifor education. ^ The “richer” the county in peracre value, the higher the composite index figure, and the greater the ^hare of school costs which must be i covered with local tax dollars. On j'the basis of its new assessment, j Rappahannock is “considered i s CCLC sends out i i | questionnaire • to plan programs • Rappahannock’s Child Care and ! Learning Center is doing prelimi! nary research to plan its summer enrichment program by sending out a ; questionnaire to all students in the ; public and private schools. The quesj tionnaire will be asking areas of interest including sports, arts, crafts, "science and trips. It will also have places to indicate the months when participation is possible. f The questionnaire goes out Fri; day, March 4, and respondents are : asked to return it the next week on [Friday, March 11. Programs for pre-school children are also anticipated. The questionnaires will be available at the Child Care and Learning Center. Enrichment committee members include Susan Rust, Becky Parrish, Helen LaCava, Joanne Berkowitz and Laurie Marshall. richer” and the county’s composite index has climbed from .611 to .644, Dr. Gangel reported. And that means the county will get only 36 percent of the dollars it would have received, had the shifted transportation money remained in categorical — rather than basic — aid, he explained. More fuzz on the revenue picture comes from the governor’s plan to apply only 51 percent of the composite index this year, a proposal Dr. Gangel couldn’t even begin to explain. To wipe away the fuzz will take not only the final actions of the General Assembly, but clarification from the state Department of Education on a score of points. Dr. Gangel said he expects to have a clearer revenue picture before the public response to the superintendent’s proposed budget next week and the School Board’s work sessions set for the remaining Tuesdays in March. But for Tuesday’s budget presentation, he estimated state revenue will be $1,328,255 for 1988-89, up 16 percent from this year’s $1,142,485. Dr. Gangel also expects $212,750 from the federal government, an 18 percent increase, and $384,218 in sales tax revenue, about seven percent more than this year. That will leave the county’s share of the proposed school budget for 1988-89 at $1,903,281 compared to $1,727,950 this year. But the picture on the expenditure side of the ledger is in sharp focus. The superintendent said his spending proposals reflect “in financial terms” the educational goals set in this school division’s six-year plan and are aimed at attracting the best people to jobs in Rappahannock’s public schools. Dr. Gangel proposes seven percent pay increases for all school employees (except substitute teachers). His plan would move the starting pay for beginning teachers from $16,358 to $17,503. Applied to the existing salary index and coupled with the index’s step increases for experience, it would mean most teachers would get approximately 10 percent more. The superintendent also proposes a salary scale for administra tors that is based on the top of the teachers’ pay scale. For instance, the first step of the administrative scale, which is the position of elementary school assistant principal, is 1.02456 of what a teacher with 25 years experience earns. With instructional pay in Rappahannock raised significantly in the past several years, “administrative and teacher salaries have gotten closer and closer and have, in fact, collided,” the superintendent said, to the point that the two assistant principals are making less per month than the highest paid teacher in the school system. “I think it’s tremendous what has happened to the teachers’ salary schedule,” but in order to get and keep good administrators, the pay plan there “must keep parity,” he said, noting that the seven percent pay increase is applied to the new scale, not current wages. Other highlights of the proposed budget include: • An additional teaching position at the elementary school. Unless enrollment requires a fourth kindergarten class, the new position would be for art and gifted and talented resource. • A seven percent increase in the supplemental duty pay scale and three new positions on the supplemental duty roster (Pop Quiz coach, newspaper sponsor, and vocational department chairman). • A jump from $31,730 to $74,414 in “other instruction costs,” primarily due to the expected placement of two additional students in residential programs. • $50,000 for the purchase of two new school buses in a year that the School Board would have bought only one bus under its current replacement schedule. “The state tried to mandate a 12-year replacement cycle. It didn’t get through, but I think we need to look at that policy ... We want to maintain a safe fleet, and the only way to do that is to keep the mileage reasonable, and the only way to do that is to replace two buses every year,” the superintendent said. • A 10 percent increase in transportation operational services coming primarily from seven percent r PIEDMONT PRESS EARLY SPRISG STOCK CLEARANCE!!

(If the work isn’t completed by August, that interest payment will go up another $7,000, according to Dr. Gangel.) The superintendent pointed out that between $100,000 and $114,000 of the increase in the proposed school budget is related to the RCHS expansion, including the additional custodian required for the 16 percent increase in high school floor space, increased custodial supplies, additional fuel, and higher electric bills as well as the literary loan interest and repayment. He described the proposed spending plan as “realistic” and noted that it is not the superintendent’s proposed budget but rather the result of the superintendent working with all school employees. Dr. Gaugel's presentation was made to the board members and an audience of just three: teachers Lynne Baines and Helen LaCava and parent Sharon Kilpatrick. There were few questions and fewer comments, but a lot of head shaking over the shifting of education funds and other sleight-of-hand tricks from Richmond. “It looks pretty good to me,” concluded School Board member Bryant Lee. “I’d like to look closer at it and ask questions when we come back.” On the heels of Rappahannock’s Soviet visitors last month - ambassadors in the era of Glasnost - comes a Russian musician, who combines his concerts with commentary on what he calls “the lie of Glasnost." The defected cellist, Vsevolod Lezhnev, is a musician first, but he carries a message to those communities he visits in the Virginia Commission for the Arts “Arts on The Road Program,” a program that has chosen Rappahannock to receive three of its travelling artists. “I talk about both things - music and politics - because I don’t believe one thing should be separated from the other,” says Lezhnev. In 1969 the Moscowborn cellist was among the first Soviet artists to defect to the United States. Defection was like “your James Bond movies,” he says, except it was real. While touring as assistant principal cellist with the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra he decided he could not go back. “I wanted to. be free.” Now, Sieva Lezhnev lectures and plays his cello for schools, churches and civic groups. He tells audiences “why I had to risk and I did risk - my life to come to this country." He has made it his task to counter what he calls the current "Soviet Peace Offensive.” Educating students about life in the Soviet Union is most important, he believes. “1 am not a politician. I am a cellist, a conductor," he says. His instrument proves his point a JIMt-year-old cello, the focus of his presentations. He demonstrates the instrument's versatility by playing music of many epochs, from Bach to jazz to contemporary Russian music. This accomplished musician graduated stuiima cum laudc from the Moscow Conservatory, and traveled worldwide with the Moscow State String Quartet. He is now assistant principal cellist with the Pittsburgh Sym phony Orchestra, anil has taught in several I'nited States universities. After the musical part of his presentation, Lezhnev lectures audiences. He talks about the differences between living in a communist country and living in a free democracy. He tells -Indent s what it's like to grow up as a child under communism. "I am happy to share my experiences," he says. What he tells people is "from the horse’s mouth, as you -ay in this country.” He speaks of hi.- ow n life. Lezhnev talks about the beautiful parts of Russia as well as the ugly. He tells audiences about the diversegeography, the people, the literature. As a successful and well-known musician, he knew many prominent names in the Russian art and music worlds. At the end of his lecture, he always leaves time for questions. What do people ask'.' About Gorbachev- and Glasnost. he says. They ask about the art community and want to know details of his defection. The question-and-answer session- usually “last on and on and on."

Inc Member Audit Bureau ol Circulation THURSDAY. MARCH 3.1988 Editorial The best of bad choices The Board of Supervisors is faced with a request from the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals to attempt to remedy setback problems in Rappahannock Lakes by legislative action; that is, rezoning or making the area a “non-conforming subdivision.” Zoning Administrator John McCarthy feels that the request for a variance to the county’s setback requirements —and similar others likely to face the BZA in the future — should be addressed by granting the variance requested by a contract buyer who wants to build a house on one of the subdivision’s small lots. According to his interpretation, the county is obligated to allow a dwelling to be built on the lot, because by allowing the subdivision to be recorded it granted that right. That impression was reinforced by a letter to the then-owner from the county’s building inspector at the time, stating that the lot met the setback requirements then in effect. Since then, the setbacks have been increased, making the lot unbuildable without a variance, which the contract owner has requested. The Planning Commission denied his request, and the BZA forwarded it to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Mr. McCarthy has recommended that the supervisors not grant the request for legislative relief, for several reasons; it’s bad zoning, and it may, in fact, open more loopholes than it closes. First, Rappahannock Lakes is a bad subdivision, one which w ould not be allowed today under the county’s ordinances. But, since it exists, the county must deal with it in the best way it can. Everyone seems agreed on those points. But rezoning the area to a higher density, which would decrease the setback requirements, is a bad solution. It smacks of spot-zoning, since it doesn’t follow the county’s policy, outlined in its comprehensive plan, of concentrating high-density development in the villages. And, if that area is rezoned, what would be the reply to someone else who may come before the board later and request that another large adjacent parcel be zoned to the same density? It would be a difficult request to deny, and one which a court might have problems with as well if the county were sued over the denial. And Rappahannock Lakes is not the only place in the county where such setback problems exist. As Mr. McCarthy pointed out, the lots in the Blue Ridge Estates subdivision at Chester Gap are even smaller. It’s true that in that case health department regulations are more difficult to comply •with, and most owners who have built there have done it by combining multiple lots. But if Rappahannock Lakes is given a “bye” as a nonconforming subdivision, it’s possible that someone, somewhere else, will request the same treatment. Again, a court is likely to find the granting of one request and denial of others difficult to support. Mr. Hur’s Rappahannock Lakes neighbors are against the granting of his variance, complaining that the resulting "clutter” will make the subdivision more crowded and less appealing. That may be true, aesthetically. Legally, however, as Butch Zindel pointed out, certain rights are attached to legal parcels of property, as Rappahannock Lakes Lot #3 is. Unfortunately for the residents already living there, those who own undeveloped parcels in the subdivision also have certain rights which attach to those properties. They pay dues to the association, and they help to maintain the common areas. It’s unlikely they bought the properties with the intention of limiting their use to camping and playing volleyball there. The truth is, the county finds itself in an awkward position. But it appears that, through whatever mechanism, it will have to allow a dwelling to be built on that lot. Although Mr. Hur’s request for a variance is unlikely to be the last one to come from Rappahannock Lakes, each request must be considered on its own merits. As BZA chairman Lee Bird pointed out, the granting of a variance does not establish a precedent. Given the options, it seems that granting Mr. Hur his request for a variance is the best of a group of bad choices. WfeHavelt Made InVirginia.

Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Letter to the Editor Dukakis for President To the editor: Governor Michael Dukakis has balanced the budget for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts every year: nine times, including two years in which he inherited deficits from his predecessors, one of them of record size. While doing this, he cut taxes five times in four years, addlg up to the largest tax cut in Masoacl. isetts history. In his first term as governor, more than 170,000 new jobs were created. After a four-year period out of office, Dukakis was re-elected by a landslide. He faced double-digit unemployment, the second budget deficit, and an atmosphere of corruption in state government. He restored and maintains strict integrity and has worked in partnership with industry and labor to create jobs and make sure that every community shares in the state’s prosperity. For the last three years in a row, Massachusetts has had the lowest unemployment rate of any industrial state in the United States. Dukakis’ successful approaches to no-fault auto insurance, housing, shelter for the homeless, good jobs for welfare recipients, cracking down on tax cheats, protecting the public from drunk drivers, fighting drug use and protecting the environment led his fellow governors. Republicans and Democrats alike, to name him the most effective governor in the nation in 19s<>. He is par ticularly praised for his powerful program for helping those on welfare to get good jobs at decent wages. Dukakis has the clearest and most forceful position on foreign policy of any candidate for the presidency. The United States must obey the law and lead the world toward peace, justice and prosperity for all. To do this, we must be economically, socially, morally and militarily strong. His emphasis is particularly on building and preserving the nation’s strength in conventional forces. Mike Dukakis is our best choice for a president who will lead the nation he loves forward to the greatness it deserves.

Box 59, Washing Va. 22747, or delivered to the n office on Main Street, Washingto Lines from London Even beer comes in a foreign language •• By JIM DENNIS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Editor’s note: Jim Dennis, a 1985 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, is spending a semester at the University of London in London, England. Rack in the USA, he's a junior at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, where he has a dual major in political science and economics and a minor in Russian studies. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Den nis of Flint Hill. For the first-time international traveler like me, arrival in a new country can be quite scary. Fortunately, I was traveling with a group of about 30 which, in a sense, eased the fear of standing out conspicuously as an individual. However, the security of belonging to a group quickly dissipated as 1 realized that a mob of Americans sticks out like a very sore thumb. Still, it was a relief at the outset. The fear of foreign lands was also lessened by the fact that we were going to England, a country with which we share a language. Or do we? Contrary to what I had believed, we do not speak the same language. Not only are many words and phrases quite different, but words that have the same meaning are unintelligible to these American ears. For example, even one of the more simple tasks in life, such as ordering a beer, is nearly impossible for a newly arrived American in London. It isn't enough to know if you want a pint or a half-pint (some times called a glass), but you have to distinguish a type of beer. Unlike in America, simply identifying a brand won't do you any good as every brewery puts out many different types. One has to ask for either a lager with or without a lime, a bitter, a best bitter, a strong lager, an ale. or a stout. A more detailed explanation of this phenomenon will come at a later date once sufficient data have been collected. To show you how difficult this language barrier actually is, I will use another example from my personal experience. When we arrived at Heathrow Airport, we were all travel-worn and weary. I approached a man and asked him for the location of the bathroom. Well, he looked at me for an instant and replied, “We have no bathrooms here. You’ll have to go to a hotel.” Now, it seemed strange that an airport, especially a big airport, didn’t have a single bathroom, so I decided to ask again, this time a little more explicitly. The chuckled and told me what I wat} was the "loo." A “loo”? But I figured I migh well give it a shot as time was of essence. That was my first imr tant learning experience in Engla One of the other things a traveS)to London first notices is the apjialjt ent rudeness on the part of the tJJ}tives. However, with just a li$Jp I’ve come to believe that it^K time more a case of xenophobia than it ifrl dislike of people in general. London is a very internati«^il city with even more nationalilrds than most international cities. JS«tive Londoners, therefore, beginjSjo fear foreigners to some ex ten V" I think. They see the influx of ottfier nationalities as an invasion of ttyjir homeland and they get a little tegy with the invaders. But once jgu leave your tourist group, you ftfid nice, friendly, and helpful pe< very like the kind you meet in W$ ington, Virginia. .3 Sight, hearing screening offered The Sight and Hearing Mobile Screening Unit of the Lions of Virginia, District 24-A, will visit Rappahannock County on Wednesday, March 9, Thursday, March 10, and Friday, March 11.

Op-Ed Legislative reports Time will tell if state budget is wise By DEL. ANDY GUEST R-31st The Governor’s $22.5 billion twoyear spending package came out of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees earlier this week, wrapped up with a $100 million bow made up of legislative budget amendments. While the House of Delegates spent two hours trying to unwrap this package and the Senate scrutinized their version for more than five hours, the result was the same — Virginia is faced with an unprecedented spending spree that may well come back to haunt us. Those of us who tried to cut down the fat in this budget, while attempting to preserve the necessary Requests made for projects within xiur own districts, were faced with ^the decision of preserving top prioriSt>es and hoping that we wouldn’t t^oke on the fat. S' Over the next two weeks, the jftouse and Senate conferees will be ‘deliberating further on the budget, *,jpith the final proposal set for presentation toward the final days of 2jhe session. The fact remains, howSpver, that there is a time bomb tickling in this budget. Revenue ’Projections provided to us by the Administration may be far too optijjpistic. 55McCarthy Continued from Page 1 McCarthy says in the memo. The new category, Non-Conforming Subdivision with a density of one dwelling unit per acre and the less stringent setbacks of RV and R-2, would largely remove concerns about failing to follow the "layered” approach, he concedes. "A very explicitly worded statement of legislative intent and purpose might also For six years this nation has enjoyed unprecedented economic growth under enlightened leadership from the White House. But the pendulum is swinging back toward an era when we will all have to tighten our belts, and there is much in Virginia’s next two-year budget that will not provide for this reality. The Governor, in this budget, has spent the $154 million surplus from the last budget, plus assigned uncertain revenues from a Virginia lottery to handle capital outlay projects in order to pay for, among other items, the Housing Partnership Fund, a theme park in Roanoke, a space age museum in Hampton, and something called the Information Management Council — whatever that may be. In my opinion, however, the most glaring, and troublesome, aspects of his budget proposals are those that will increase the government bureaucracy. Upon spot examination, I count more that 4.000 new full-time positions being budgeted within state government over the next biennium. Regardless of the Administration’s rhetoric to maintain present staff levels, we are at the 100,000 state employee level — 100 THOUSAND. Previous Administrations, practicing fiscal conservaassist in relieving the burden of challenged rezoning decisions on adjacent parcels by making clear the fact that this zoning category merely recognizes existing non-conformities," the zoning administrator says. But this option raises a new problem: what to do about other non-conforming subdivisions, particularly Chester Gap’s Blue Ridge Estates, which has four to five times the number of lots as Rappahannock Lakes. “In sum there are several subdivisions totalling hundreds of lots. tism, used surpluses in a more reasonable manner. Virginia’s traditional pay-as-you-go philosophy is being tested with this two-year budget; tried and true principles of responsible government are in the balance. There are a few bright spots in our legislative amendments. We are requesting that additional funds be allocated to localities for basic aid to education to offset, for a time anyway, the new funding formula proposed. School districts will be receiving additional funding for a few years to offset the loss of funding in higher populated areas as originally set forth. Confusion and disappointment in many school districts throughout the Commonwealth make it necessary for these additional funds to prepare for the future. But with the Governor recommending things like three new museums, the local taxes will have to be raised; and mandated salary increases so dear to the Governor and full state spending for such projects will require extra local taxes. Make no mistake about it, the something for everybody approach — the extra pizza toppings — increase the cost to the citizen. Those who are following the Family Life many of which are also zoned ‘RR’ as they sit amidst an otherwise solidly zoned ‘A’ area. They have different sizes, shapes, and conditions. If an amendment could somehow be concocted to accommodate conditions in Rappahannock Lakes, it might be so construed to apply to all ‘stale’ subdivisions in the county which, together, I do not feel are so similar nor similarly situated as to make an amendment practical or advisable,” Mr. McCarthy cautions. That leaves only the third option — issuance of a variance — to re Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT Education Curriculum story can at least expect that their local programs will be funded at the same level as the state’s recommended program. There will be additional funds for a modest salary increase for state employees, and at least a study of the fiscal impact for those who prefer preservation of health benefits after retirement to a salary increase. While there is much to be considered as reasonable and necessary in this budget, the fact remains —more than $21,000 per minute over the next two years will be spent by your state government. Much of it will be spent for necessary and reasonable expenditures. Only time and the health of Virginia’s economy will tell if the present Administration has chosen wisely, or set us on the road toward major tax increases at both the state and local levels.

Rezoning to another more dense category would violate the land use policies followed by the Planning Commission and supervisors and might constitute illegal “spot zoning;’’ rezoning to a new and more dense category, while failing to account for the differences between older, substandard subdivisions, would necessitate the rezoning of those nonconforming developments. Accordingly, Mr. McCarthy urges the Board of Supervisors to find that "there exists no general regulation which may be adopted.” This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Feb. 29, 1968, edition Seventy-one students in the University of Virginia School of Nursing have been placed on the dean’s list for the first semester.

It first shows itself in childhood and prompts incessant questions and exasperating experiments. But it continues all through life. Recently, on discovering something you didn't know, you murmured to yourself, "Gotta look that up. . Upon this basic hunger tor knowledge, the Church's program of religious education is planned. That's why we urge parents to foster a Christian atmosphere in the home. It is also why the Church provides religious instruction long before secular education begins. And it accounts tor continuing emphasis on youth and young adult activities in most congregations. We adults haven't outgrown the hunger for knowledge. Most of us recognize that our scientific and material progress points up the crucial need for spiritual standards to believe in. God has vital truth to impart to men. The place to look it up is your church. Sunday Luke 18:9-14 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Matthew John John 22:1-14 2:1-21 4:7-26 l muni wm wem santon. r. o. so* nos.

Sports and Outdoor Life Panthers fall to Page County, 84-54 We saved our worst game for . r last,” was Coach Gary Leake’s reaction to the thrashing his team received at the hands of Page County ' ■ in the Bull Run District semi-final 1 round last Friday in Front Royal. The outcome was never in doubt, and the 84-54 score reflected that. Last week, Coach Leake said that “It’s always hard to get that third win from a team,” referring to Rappahannock’s two regular season victories over Stonewall Jackson, as well as Page’s two wins over the Panthers. He was wrong, unfortuntely on both counts. Last Wednesday, the Panthers beat the Generals again at Rappahannock in the quarter-final round, 61-57. After running up a 10-point lead off the opening tap, then extending it to 22-10 at the end of the first quarter, Rappahannock watched the Generals crank up the heat and go the locker room trailing by only three, 25-22. The Panthers ' were unable to add a point through the first six minutes of the second quarter. 1 In the second half, Stonewall 1 continued to pressure the Panthers, but with two minutes left Rappahan•" nock had amassed a 10-point lead. Once again, however, the Generals ' fought back and sliced it to two ' points with 30 seconds left. Despite missing foul shots all night, the Panthers managed to stave off Stonewall’s field goal attempts and at the buzzer led by four, - 61-57. Butch Foster led the Panther at■ tack with 23 points. Eric Dunn contributed 16 and Anthony Porter •another eight. Semi a different story Although Coach Leake said the ' team was “up for Page County,” the V Panther fans’ enthusiasm was quickly dampened as they watched the Page County team run up a 41-16 halftime lead. Page shot 66 percent from the floor, including four threepoint baskets by Mike Keyser, who rang up 18 points in the half. Rappahannock did manage to regain its composure after halftime, scoring the first six points of the third quarter to bring the score to 41-22. However, Doug Smith was called on a technical for arguing an official’s call. That seemed to take the wind out of Rappahannock’s sails. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan OUTGUNNED IN THE SEMI-FINAL, the Panthers fell to Page County last Friday night in the district tournament. Julian Groves (20) and Anthony Porter try in vain to stop a determined Page attack. Despite bringing the game to within 16 points, the Panthers again watched Page run up 11 straight tallies, leaving the score 59-37 at the end of the third period. The fourth quarter was a replay of the third, with Page keeping the lead above 20 for the entire time, and Rappahannock struggling to keep within sight of the Panthers. At the end, Page was up by 30, 8454. Eric Dunn led Rappahannock’s scoring effort with 22 points, including five three-point baskets. Julian Groves hit nine points, and Butch Foster had seven. Anthony Porter pulled in six rebounds. The loss left the Panthers with a season record'of 12-10. Page County went on to capture the district title Saturday night, beating Strasburg 69-56. Races move to Rappahannock By TINA SKINNER Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer With a gouu sample of equine breeds and approximately 100 canines set to race March 5 at the Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point, this day in the country promises to be one of the most exciting on the spring racing schedule in Virginia. Horses, ponies and even mules are slated to run, with at least 10 races filling out the day’s card. The children start off the day on their ponies, the only pony races this year on the Virginia Point-to-Point Circuit. The timber racing is on the Thornton Hill Farm course near Sperryville, in the Rappahannock County mountains. Spectators are reminded not to hold their breath as horses race down a steep mountainside to a jump two-thirds of the distance to the bottom. In the owner-rider timber race, Nelson Gunnell has entered Make the Move, the First Colony hurdle series champion two years ago now ready to make a first start over imposing post-and-rail fences ranging up to 4 feet in height. Make the Move will have his work cut out for him, however. Winner of last week’s timber contest for gentlemen at Casanova, Oriental Express and Bruce Rosenbaum, are signed up, as is two-time series champion Dr. William Russell. The ladies’ timber race is frequently one of the most exciting, with some of the fastest horses on the circuit carrying light loads as their feminine jockeys compete heatedly for the annual leading lady-rider award. Last week’s winner at Casanova, Marcella Smith, is signed up to ride. At least a dozen mules are expected to race in the premier mule race of the Virginia racing circuit. The riders of these mules are required to wear “hunting attire,” but don’t be fooled. The day finishes up with the famous hound race where an expected 100 hounds will chase a pre-laid scent Earlier in the day, hunter pairs will compete in a seemingly more leisurely fashion for year-end hunter pace awards. The pairs races get underway at 10 a.m. Post time for the first race is at noon. Thornton Hill Farm is located two miles south of Sperryville on Route 522, off Route 211. General admission to the races is $5, with children under 12 admitted free. An additional $3 for parking will be charged for each car. For more information about the races call (703) 8250032 or (703) 547-2810. Real Estate Eileen M. Day realtor RIGHT BROKER FOR YOU When you gel ready to choose the real estate agency that will market your property, think local. Real estate is a local business and the marketing of your home is best handled by local people who know your area well. Choose an agency, therefore, that has an office in your town, or if it's a rather large town, on your side of town. Agents will be much more likely to show your property if it is close to their office than if they have to make a rather large loop, out of the way. to include it in a tour. Of equal importance to the location of the agency is its specialty. If you are selling a house, you want an agency that deals primarily in houses, not an appraisal firm that carries a few listings on the side or one that specializes in large, commercial properties. By choosing an agency that routinely handles similar properties, you will be assured of the best possible exposure. The advertising for the majority of the agency's listings will appeal to your kind of buyer. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please rop in at EILEEN M. DAY.

Just as sure as the crocuses are beginning to appear, and buds are bulging on the dogwood and apple trees, spring is coming to Rappahannock. Another sure sign of spring’s impending appearance is the runners plying the county’s back roads, getting in shape for the 10th running of the Fodderstack Classic Road Race. Set for Saturday, April 16, the race will once again see runners from around the Northern Virginia area testing their mettle against the hilly course, run along the old stagecoach road from Flint Hill to Washington. Though the ruts are gone, replaced by asphalt, modem engineers left the hills intact, and several veteran roadracers have called the Fodderstack Classic the toughest 10K race course they’ve ever run. Running magazine called it one of the 75 “outstanding” lOKs scheduled during the first half of 1987. Another Fodderstack tradition is the Eva L. Smith Memorial, awarded to the first male and female Rappahannock County residents to finish the race. Other runners will compete for awards in 20 age categories. T-shirts will be given to the first 300 to finish, along with trophies to the top three in each age group. This year, for the first time, a cash prize of $100 is being offered to anyone who breaks the course record, now 31:26 for men and 36:46 for women. The race committee, sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreation Authority and the Child Care and Learning Center, is now accepting pre-registrations for the event. Pre-registration, postmarked by April 11, is $8. Post-registration the day of the race is $10, between 8 and 9:30 a.m., adjacent to the starting line in Flint Hill. For information, a registration form or to pre-register, contact Diane Bruce, P. O. Box 26, Washington, Va. 22747, or call (703) 675-3621 days or (703) 6753658 evenings and weekends.

(Variance I Continued from Page 1 Commissioner Werner Krebser told Mr. Hur. “The neighbors think it would be detrimental and i certainly think it might be. We'd begetting an awful precedent." "There does come a time when we have an unbuildable lot. I'm not saying this one is. but it comes prettty close to it. " said Commissioner John Clark. "I'm afraid you're just asking for variances on tix> many setbacks. " Mr. Hur volunteered to take off porches, which would enable him. to come closer to meeting the setbacks, but Commissioners Krebser and David Fannon held that it's up to the BZA to consider alterations in the application. McCarthy recommends approval With the recommendation for denial. the majority split with the zoning administrator. "I think by the standards of the county's ordinance, this variance needs to be granted." Mr McCarthy maintained. "We created that lot (by the county's jxjrmitting the subdivision to be recorded i. Kach of the three successive owners of the lot purchased it "with the reasonable expectation they could build a house . . . Each owner bought the prior owner's assumption that a house could be built there. I don’t know how or why you divest that right." None ever owned an adjacent lot that could have been merged with Rappahannock Lakes Lot o so that setback regulations could be satisfied, he noted. Therefore. a hardship exists. Mr. McCarthv maintained. Although owners of other unimproved lots in Rappahannock Lakes subdivision will also have difficulties in building to meet current setback regulations, “each lot will present a different set of circumstances and a different problem." thus making a variance — and not an ordinance amendment — the appropriate relief. he added. "And this subdivision was created to have a house on every lot. so I don't see how granting the variance could be a detriment to other property owners." BZA sees hardship, and more problems Mr. McCarthy's arguments fell on more receptive ears at the BZA hearing the following week. Sid (lottlieb wondered how the Planning Commission concluded that no hardship was involved. If the zoning regulations are strictly applied, “it means you can't build on that lot." “How could that not be a hardship? It's a confiscation!" added Chairman Lee Bird. “It was a conclusion I did not agree with," said Mr. McCarthy. Peter Kramer even questioned whether the hardship would be wiped out if any of the owners of Lot 3 had owned mergeable lots on either side. “Whether somebody owns an adjoining lot, they're still individual lots, and should be considered individually . . . I’m not sure all people who own two lots are willing to sacrifice that second lot." Moving on to the other conditions for granting a variance, Mr. Gottlieb noted. “If the situation (of short, narrow lots) is generally shared, that puts a heavy weight on this board. We’d be setting a precedent." By its actions, the BZA doesn't set precedents, countered Mr. Kramer.

Salem Avenue Washington, Va. Pastor: Bill Taylor 987-8014 Gilbert Dickerson, who owns the unimproved lot to the north of Lot ■> and an adjacent lot to that on which his house sits, told the BZA that the variance would infringe on his property and all other lots owned by members of the homeowners association. There are four other lots on the same road "just like that, the same size or smaller." Those property owners and others in the subdivision will expect similar variances, he noted. "If 1 wanted someone building within _’<• feet of my house. I'd have stayed in Falls Church." He offered, however, to sell Mr. Hur the buffer lot between his house and Lot ■> — for .<1->0.000. "If you owned Lot o. what would vu do with it'.’" asked Mr. Gottlieb. "That lot is no good to anybody." Mr. Dickerson replied. Other residents opposed "Was there a vote taken (to oppose the variance) at a meeting of the association?" Mr. Kramer inquired. "No. But I’m a director of the association. and different ones asked me to come (to the BZA meeting to state their opposition)," Mr. Dickerson said. To further questioning, he acknowledged that all property owners in the subdivision — including those with unimproved lots —are dues-paying members of the association. “If we turn down this variance, it will decrease the value of the unimproved lots that belong to all those members of the association." Mr. Gottlieb pointed out. As many as 3b of the subdivision's 70 lots haven’t been built on. but the owners of most of those, as well as most of the owners of the improved lots, also own adjoining lots, according to Mr. Dickerson. “I had a lot of people come up to me w ho couldn’t take off work to be here." said Joe Miller, owner of the lot diagonally across the road from Lot 3. "A lot of people just don’t want the clutter . ... If the present owner wanted to build, the hardship would be his. but Mr. Hur doesn’t have a hardship. "To deem the lot unbuildable is not to deem the lot worthless." Mr. Miller continued. The owner would still have the right to camp on the lot. fish and swim in the lake, play volleyball and otherwise use the five acres which the association owns, he Ow nership implies certain rights The law makes a variance an appropriate remedy if strict application of zoning regulations would “effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict" the use of a property. Chairman Bird responded. “When you buy and sell real estate, you buy and sell the rights to use that real estate," added Butch Zindel. “Any purchaser is buying those rights. That's real estate law." "The law doesn’t say you have the right to build a house," countered Mr. Miller. “The zoning ordinance says you do, as long as you meet the setback regulations, and if you can’t, you have the right to apply for a variance." Mr. McCarthy explained. He reported that correspondence on file in the zoning office shows the present owner was told by the county building official before he purchased Lot 3 that he could build, provided he met the setback regulations of 50 feet from the front line and 20 feet said.

When the lot was offered for sale at $11,500. “it struck me as fairly low, and 1 thought there might be problems," Mr. Hur said. He learned that the zoning regulations had changed and that the lot was now unbuildable without a variance. "1 said I’d give him $7,000 without the variance. He said he'd paid $10.000 and wouldn't take less than $11,500. He didn't want to wait for me to apply for a variance, so I said I d give him $500 on a contingency contract, whether I got the variance or not." Hardship finding justified, but conditions will recur Going through the findings, the BZA members were unanimous that strict application of the zoning regulations would work a hardship. But after examining the maps of the subdivision, they also agreed that the conditions giving rise to the hardship were of a general and recurring nature. "The only amendment possible would be to rezone the whole section to a greater density so that the setbacks are less stringent." Mr. McCarthy advised. "It won't necessarily be in accord with good zoning practices," conceded Mr. Bird. “But it can be dealt with, if the supervisors want to do it." He recalled that in a similar instance of setback problems in the village of Flint Hill, the BZA denied a variance request, referred the issue to the Board of Supervisors, and the Board "amended the ordinance to apply only to Flint Hill." By unanimous vote, the BZA rejected Mr. Hur's application but agreed to again ask the supervisors for a general ordinance amendment applicable to the Rappahannock Lakes Subdivision, noting that “failure (to enact such an amendment) would impose forfeiture and confiscation on a number of property owners" in that development. "I hope the property owner will extend to Mr. Hur the time necessary to take this to the supervisors." said Mr. Kramer. “If the supervisors can't formulate a general regulation, then that removes the only obstacle to making the findings (for a variance)," he added. "Can you say then that you would grant a variance?” Mr. Hur asked. "Yes, we would," answered Mr. Bird, but then changed that to advise Mr. Hur he could reapply, noting that the supervisors “could say it is practical to enact an amendment but we don’t want to do it." "But it seems to me, at that point, they could be taken to court,” said Mr. Gottlieb. “They could be taken to court,” agreed the BZA chairman, “because that’s a confiscation.” I ~Buiiding? • Paint • Lumber ] • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the by-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 IWWHKUHOTED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat.. 10 i.m..

Gephardt, whose campaign, according to records, has accepted more PAC money than that of any other candidate, responded that he feels the PACs bring more people into the political process. "Dick, don’t give us that anti-establishment stuff when you’re out there taking their money,” Gov. Dukakis replied, referring to Rep. Gephardt’s efforts to portray himself as the candidate of the people, opposing the federal bureaucracy. “How about your taking money from people who do business with the state?" Rep. Gephardt asked the governor. On another occasion. Gov. Dukakis sarcastically told Rep. Gephardt, “Pm not sure which Dick Gephardt we have here tonight... I heard you apologise for that tax cut vote all over Iowa — and now you’re up here praising it." If the vote were recorded on applause meters. Rev. Jackson would have been the hands-down winner.

Ms. Woodruff chuckled and reminded Rev. Jackson that the forum is a “family debate,” as the audience in Phi Beta Kappa Hall collapsed in laughter and applause. Later, Rev. Jackson said that he wanted “Reaganomics, Reaganites and Reaganisms to go back to California on the last sunset,” a throwaway line which again brought a burst of applause from the audience, which included Georgia Senator Sam Nunn. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, former Virginia Gov. Charles Robb and current Gov. Gerald Baliles. In response to a question about budgets and taxes. Rev. Jackson characterized Reaganomics as “a reverse Robin Hood ... He thought the poor had too much money and the rich had too little.” Rep. Gephardt, surprisingly, provided a moment of honesty when he maintained, in response to a question about the burgeoning budget, "We cannot win the election in 1988 by presenting ourselves as the party which will raise taxes on families.” This comment came in response to repeated assertions by his opponents that tax increases will be necessary to combat the huge budget deficits amassed by the Reagan Administration. candidates for President have also filed the paperwork which places them on the March 8 ballot. Again, the names are listed in the order and manner in which they will appear on the ballot: George Bush Bob Dole Pete du Pont Alexander M. Haig, Jr. Jack Kemp Pat Robertson Again, since the last date for filing was Jan. 20, there will be several “ex-candidates” on the ballot. Gov. Pete du Pont withdrew from the race following the Iowa caucuses, and Gen. A1 Haig folded his tent after the New Hampshire primary. However, their names will still be listed on the Republican ballot. Robb discounts crossover Because the Republicans are using the primary strictly as a preference poll, while the Democratic Gov. Dukakis became irritated when Ms. Woodruff asked, as a hypothetical question, what he would do if, early in his administration, the stock market fell f>(H) points in one day. and, instead of rebounding, dropped another 400 points the next day. “I’d turn the problem over to my vice-president,” he replied. "Is that your answer?" asked Ms. Woodruff. “I’d take out Franklin Roosevelt’s old speeches and read thenj|' Mr. Dukakis continued. “Is that your answer?” Ms. Woodruff asked again. “I don't mind answering hypothetical,’’ Mr. Dukakis responded, “but this one is a little wild." "It happened last October," the moderator replied, with irritation obvious in her voice. Her response met with applause from the audience. Sen. Hart then added, “Let the record show the governor didn't answer the question," which brought another burst of applause from the audience. Asked after the debate whether he felt the atmosphere was "testy." Sen. Gore replied that "I'm not — I’m enjoying it. I call on my opponents to debate Saturday in Nashville," in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Despite the challenge, the debate appears endangered by a lack of participation from both Republicans and Democrats. results are binding, some observers have questioned whether Republicans might “cross-over" and request Democratic ballots. The strategy would be to skew thedelegate totals by voting for the candidate, or candidates, who the Republicans feel would be most easily defeated in November. Former Governor Charles Robb, one of the architects of Super Tuesday. discounted that possibility Tuesday. Asked about the potential for cross-over voting. Gov. Robb replied. “Most Republicans would rather be caught dead than on a local Democratic Party mailing list. I don’t think it will have an effect." There will also be a space on both the Democratic and Republican ballots for that perennial favorite, "uncommitted."
