The daffodils bring promise of warmfer days to come, although winter’s woodpile is still on the porch —just in case. $3.8 million is requested by schools Figure based on 16.7% state912% local increases The final estimates are in from Richmond and the proposed $3,871,698 school budget for 1988-89 has been forwarded to the county Board of Supervisors. It anticipates $1,334,007 in state funds, a 16.7 percent increase over this year, and calls for $1,940,360 in local funds, a 12 percent increase. Federal aid is expected to be up 12 percent, to $214,750, and sales tax revenue up seven percent, to $375,318. The budget includes an eight percent pay raise for all school employees (applied to the bases of the experience pay scale for teachers and the proposed new pay scale for administrators). The proposal would put beginning teacher salaries here at $17,677. This year, starting teachers received $16,358; by comparison, first year teachers in surrounding counties got $18,170 (Fauquier), $17,050 (Page), $16,577 (Madison), $18,460 (Orange), $17,299 (Culpeper), and $17,600 (Warren). The state has mandated an average seven percent pay increase for instructional personnel over the next two years. In | an effort to improve the county’s ranking See BUDGET, p. 16 i Request for setback variance approved By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The* county’s Board of Zoning Appeals last _w^ek_ gave Jon Hur the variance he needs to build a house, nut only if the Health Department reaffirms approval for the septic field and private well on the quarter-acre waterfront lot in Rappahannock Lakes. And questioning whether a percolation test had been conducted by the Health Department’s sanitarian when the system was approved in 1977, the BZA asked for such a test to determine the soil’s suitability for waste disposal. Created in the late 1950s before the county adopted land use ordinances, Rappahannock Lakes is a subdivision of small, irregularly-shaped parcels served by private streets, individual septic fields, and a failing publicwater system supplemented by private wells. Of the development’s 70-odd lots, about 30 are yet to be built on. Most, like the lot Mr. Hur intends to buy, have problems meeting zoning regulations on building setbacks, but onlyfive of these smaller lots are not under the same ownership as adjoining, mergable lots. Mr. Hur’s lot is 90 feet wide, making it impossible to comply with building setbacks of 50 feet on either side. The lot is 150 feet deep but 50 feet is already taken up by the Health Department’s required setback from an existing septic field to the lake. In addition, a house must be 20 feet from that field, under Health Department regulations, and 75 feet from the front property line, under the county’s zoning regulations. The combination of setbacks leaves less than 10 feet for any building. The BZA initially denied Mr. Hur’s application, finding that the conditions giving rise to the variance were of a general and recurring *<*y-"ire in Rappahannock Lakes and therefore should be addressed through an amendment to the zoning ordinance. But reviewing the alternatives, the Board of Supervisors was unable to come up with a “reasonably practical” amendment that would be “in the county’s best interests.” The supervisors held that rezoning all of Rappahannock Lakes to village residential, which'has less stringent setback regulations, would violate Rappahannock's established zoning practice by creating a pocket of dense zoning in the middle of an agricultural area. And even as village residential, lots in Rappahannock Lakes would need variances to setback regulations, they noted. As to establishing a new non-conforming subdivision category, the supervisors felt this approach failed to take into account the variations between Rappahannock Lakes and others of the county’s pre-ordinance developments which would be eligible for rezoning to that same category. So Mr. Hur was back before the BZA last Wednesday with a reapplication for variances to side and front setbacks. ‘A mistake to begin with’ “This subdivision was a mistake to begin with,” said Newbill Miller, former Hampton District supervisor and planning commissioner. “With any regulations at all, this subdivision wouldn’t have gone in without public water or public sewer or both. They did put in public water, but it's failed.” i Predicting that the development eventually will have to be served by public sewer, Mr. Miller showed the BZA soil maps which rate the soils in Rappahannock Lakes in general and Mr. Hur’s lot in particular as fair to poor for septic fields. He acknowledged that the Health Department has already approved the septic field on Mr. Hur’s lot but added that the approval was probably based on soil evaluation rather than a percolation test. “I doubt seriously if any of these lots have had perc tests,” he said, asking that if a variance is granted, it be conditioned — at a minimum — on such a test But he cautioned that issuance of the variance will affect residential zoning districts all over the county by giving credence to the philosophy that “here exists a lot, so a man has a right to build a house on it.” The county did not approve the lots in Rappahannock Lakes, Mr. Miller acknowledged. But, he pointed out, prior to enactment of the zoning and subdivision ordinances, no approval was necessary; lots were simply platted and recorded. So there is no vested right to build a house on the lot and no restriction approaching confiscation by denial of the variance application, he maintained. If the Health Department had refused septic field approval and a building permit was denied on that ground, the question of confiscation would not even arise, Mr. Miller added. And if a house can’t be built on the lot, See VARIANCE, p. 16 Junked car program continues success In a front page story Feb. 25 on the county’s new abandoned car removal program, the Rappahannock News reported that 64 junkers had been hauled away to scrap dealers. And at the March 7 meeting of the county’s Board of Supervisors, John McCarthy told the supervisors that the count had climbed to 96, adding $480 to the general fund “plus the intangible value” of eliminating the landscape blight created by the rusting wrecks. The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles pays a $50 bounty for each vehicle certified as junked and disposed of. The county keeps $5 for administration of the program and $45 goes to Cecil Wood of Rileyville, the pontractor who removes the cars. Mr. Wood is free to negotiate with each property ow ner over how much he pays for the cars. C According to the zoning administrator, the new program eliminates the obstacles to enforcing the zoning ordinance’s prohibition against unenclosed storage of abandoned vehicles. (Regulations allow no junked cars on lots a half-acre or smaller; one junked car on lots a half-acre to one acre, and two junked cars on lots t»ne acre and larger.) > With the program in place and moving ahead, landowners who previously complained of the expense of hauling and the absence of any other legal disposal option no longer have 'kn excuse for non-compliance, Mr. McCarthy noted. “But there are a few people who mistakenly believe that they have an incredibly valuable commodity in their old junked cars,” he told the supervisors. “And no doubt they are worth some money for scrap, but the principal value to the property owners (in taking advantage of the new bounty program) is that I will not — and the Commonwealth’s Attorney will not — pursue them in Circuit Court for the violation of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance. So those people who expect $40 or $50 for a 25-year-old VW bug ought to rethink their position.” In the past, Mr. McCarthy has taken a carrot-and-stick approach with the program. The program offers car owners the chance to make a few dollars off the disposal of their cars, while also bringing their property into compliance with the county’s zoning ordinance. On the other hand, Mr. McCarthy added that he intends to prosecute violators of the ordinance, but will work with anyone willing to dispose of their vehicles through the county’s program. The car removal program is administered through the zoning office. A form must be completed by the owner of an abandoned car giving the county permission for Mr. Wood to remove the junkers. For additional information or copies of the form, stop by the office in the Baumgardner building on Main Street or call 675-3342. “There are a few people who mistakenly believe that they have an incredibly valuable commodity in their old junked cars ... but the principle value of the program is that I will not... pursue them in Circuit Court for the violation of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance.’’ —John McCarthy zoning administrator RALLY plans clean-up “Welcorpe the* return of spring this year by joining fellow Rappahannock residents in the county's annual Spring Beautification Day,” said Nina Stamer, the county’s litter clean-up coordinator. The effort is again being sponsored by RALLY, the Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You, through a grant provided by the Virginia Division of Litter Control. The clean-up, innaugurated quite successfully last year, is scheduled for Saturday, April 23, with a rain date set for the following week, April 30. The organizers request that volunteers plan to gather at the Rappahannock County Bark on Rt. 211 just outside Washington at 10 a.m. to receive trash bags, safety vests and instructions on areas targeted for clean-up. Trash bags and vests, as last year, are being provided by the Virginia Department of Transportation. Volunteers are also encouraged to return to the park at 2 p.m. for refreshments. Rappahannock Beautification Day T-shirts will also be distributed to all participants. For more information, to volunteer yourself or a group, or to report areas which are in particular need of attention, call Nina Stamer at 675-3810, any time. Wreck kills Amissville man A single-car accident on Friday afternoon took^the life of a 41-yearold county resident. Harold Miller t'ompton of Amissville was killed when his car hit a tree on Rt. 729 about a half-mile south of Rt. (140, near Viewtown. According to Trooper H. A. Newlin, who investigated the accident, Mr. Compton was travelling south on Rt. 729 at a high rate of speed when his 1978 Dodge two-door ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a tree. Virginia State Police Sgt. M. D. Dowdy, of the Warrenton office, said Tuesday that Trooper Newlin’s report indicated that the vehicle’s speed when it left the road was estimated at 8f> miles per hour. He added that the report said that alcohol also may have been a factor, but that a final determination will not be made until the results of an autopsy are received, which usually takes about three weeks. Mr. Compton was extricated from his vehicle by rescue personnel from Amissville and Flint Hill. An Advanced Life Support medic unit from Culpeper County Rescue Squad met the Amissville squad en route to Culpeper Memorial Hospital, and transported Mr. Compton to the hospital’s emergency room, where he was pronounced dead. Charges still pending Sgt. Dowdy said that charges are still pending against Lisa Ann Day, 22, 1216 Meander Dr., Culpeper. Miss Day was the driver of a pick-up truck involved in a single-vehicle accident on Jan. 29. She was eastbound on Rt. 522 near the Culpeper-Rappahannock county line when the truck swerved off the right side of the road, crossed back into the westbound lane and into an embankment. The truck flipped, pinning Miss Day in the vehicle. She was extricated by Salem and Sperryville fire and rescue personnel, revived at the scene by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and taken to CMH by Washington VFD’s medic unit. She was then flown to University of Virginia Medical Center by the Pegasus med-evac helicopter. She was admitted to the intensive care unit in critical condition with head and chest injuries. Trooper R. A. Baines, who investigated the crash, said at the time that alcohol and excessive speed appeared to be the causes of that accident. He added that charges against Miss Day probably would not be filed until she has recovered from her injuries. According to a spokesman at the University Medical Center, as of Tuesday Miss Day remains in fair condition at the hospital. A passenger in the truck was also taken to CMH, where he was treated and released.

Kanode, is among the works on display in the Artmobile exhibit, “Reflections,” which will Visit Rappahannock County this weekend. ‘Reflections’ exhibit here for three-day visit “Reflections,” a Virginia Museum Artmobile exhibition which uses the phenomena of reflection to explore the interconnections between natural science and the visual arts, opens Thursday, March 31, for a three-day stay. _The Artmobile, actually a tractor-trailer museum on wheels, will be parked at the Rappahannock County Park on Rt. 211 outside Washington. It will be open to the public Thursday, March 31, Monday, April 4, and Tuesday, April 5, from 9 «.m. to 5 p.m. “Our understanding of perceptipji can be improved by studying the relationships revealed in a mirror," exhibition coordinator Don Schrader explained. In this first collaborative effort, between the Virmnia Museum .>and ,the. Science Jtkseum of Virginia, visitors will see J,be ways in which artists have employed reflections to reproduce the appearances of the visual world, realize perceptions of reality, and became acquainted with a sense of materials and their physical characteristics, according to Mr. Schrader. The exhibition includes 15 photographs, paintings, prints and sculptures by 13 artists representing a wide range of styles and time periiVisual artists have used reflecis in many ways in art through ages. As early as the 15th cenItalian artists used mirrors to Serve that the lines of regular obts seen in a reflection would, if exuded, all end at a single point in the distance. This point was the place at which the artist’s eye was seen in the reflection. Every individual aspect of visual experience — color, value, line, shape — is determined by the ways in which a material’s surface may interpret the reflected light into information that our brains can understand. Mr. Schrader said. “We often fail to realize that everything we see is the result of reflected light. Vision itself is made possible by the property of light bouncing off the surfaces of all physical substances.” In the “Reflections” Artmobile exhibit, he added, viewers can see different kinds of reflections and the way they are produced, as well as learn how understanding reflections helps us to understand art and how we see the world. But the Artmobile is more than just an exhibit for viewing. “Reflections” features hands-on learning materials and demonstration models through which some of the properties of reflected light may be investigated. These devices are accompanied by art in which these properties may be seen at work. The Artmobile’s visit is sponsored locally by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). Additional information about the Artmobile’s visit may be obtained from Martin Woodard of RAAC by calling 9878521 or 675-3193. The Friday evening lecture scheduled in conjunction with the exhibition has been cancelled, Mr. Woodard added.

Moore. He reported that improvements to Rt. 622 await final approval of changes to the wording of a conservation easement given to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation by a landowner on that road so that the necessary right-of-way can be donated to the Department of Transportation. “We’re ready to start as soon as we get that last paperwork taken care of.” Supervisor Mike Massie asked that the record show his request to the highway department to look into sale to his family of the abandoned section of the old road fronting the Massie property at the intersection of Routes 211 and 522. This type of transaction is done routinely, Mr. Moore said. “It’s residue we don’t need for the maintenance of the highway.” In such cases, the department looks to sell the abandoned road section with the sale price based on an independent appraisal, he added. The resident engineer also noted that the department has reassessed the passing zones on the two-lane portion of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville and determined that “no other areas can be opened up.” Adding additional passing zones “would create a safety problem” and conversely, the two existing zones “meet our guidelines for sight distance,” he said. Mr. Moore confirmed, however, that the existing passing zone at the intersection of Rt. 211 and the Old Hollow road (Rt. 612) has been intermittently closed to passing in response to increased accidents in that section.' Asked for the status of plans to reopen Rt. 17 in Fauquier County to truck traffic, Mr. Moore said the board’s request that this action be taken as soon as possible has been forwarded to the Highway Commission. Tractor-trailers were banned from the nine-mile stretch of Rt. 17 between Warrenton and Marshall in November 1984, after several fatal accidents involving the big rigs. Since then, truck traffic on Rt. 522 between Front Royal and Massie’s Corner has increased significantly, as truckers seek an alternate route to U. S. 29 south of Warrenton. Rappahannock’s supervisors had been assured that the ban would be lifted after the Rt. 17 improvements were completed. That project will probably be finished some time in the spring. Late last year, however, Mr. McCarthy informed the board that the highway department was considering a continued ban until another spur from Warrenton north to Rt. 645 is completed which would relieve truck congestion on the town’s already overcrowded roads. That spur project, however, is mired in environmental questions, and Mr. McCarthy told the board last November that “if the ban is tied to completion of that last leg, I can’t even begin to put it into a time frame. It could be years.” In response to that news, the board authorized a letter to Constance R. Kincheloe, the county’s representative on the Highway Commission. It stated that “no such ban is justified upon completion of the parallel lanes from the Town of Warrenton to Rt. 645 . . and that a continuation of the truck ban “amounts to an excess of zeal in protecting the citizens of the Rt. 17 corridor while betraying an unfair disregard for the safety and peace of mind of the residents of the village of Flint Hill and of others who make their homes along Rt. 522.” Mr. Moore told the board that he hopes to receive a response from the Highway Commission “soon.” Corrections In last week’s edition of the Rappahannock News, a remark attributed to a “highway department engineer” should actually have been attributed to a highway department employee. Also, in last week’s editorial, State Senator Kevin Miller was incorrectly identified as being no relation to State Delegate Clinton Miller. They are, in fact, brothers. The Rappahannock News regrets the errors.

Accounts Adjournment According to the Hagerstown Almanack The snows of winter and the winds of March should be past; however, April is a changeable month, not able to make up its mind if spring has really arrived. Look for aboveaverage temperatures, but below average precipitation. It’s not an April fool as showers usher in the month followed by rain or snow 2-5, perhaps on your Easter parade. There is the possibility of a stormy period 13-15 and again 27-28, with windy days 16-19 accompanied by showers, a carry-over from March but all in all, typical April weather. A tornado watch for the Southeast 4-6, Mid-Atlantic states 10-13, and from the Central Plains to MidAtlantic states 24-27. Full moon is on the 2nd at 4:21 a.m. EST, and is often named the Spring or Egg Moon. For the second year Daylight Saving Time begins on the first Sunday of the month rather than the r last, as formerly, at which time we “spring ahead” and lose the hour we’ll gain back next October. Arbor Day is celebrated in most states on the last Friday in April and many communities have observed the day by developing parkland areas which can be enjoyed by generations to come. We may not live to see the fruits of our labor but those who follow will, and if we today do not have the foresight to plan ahead, who will? Perhaps the cardinal rule in gardening during the early spring months is to hold off getting out in the garden too soon before the soil is warm and dry enough. Soil that is cold and damp will not produce good results and you’ll do better to wait a week or two. Raised beds have the advantage of drying out earlier than conventional arrangements. J.

Editorial For groundwater’s sake Like the rest of Virginia, the government and the people of Rappahannock County are becoming groundwater conscious — as they should. It is this fragile resource that the Amissville citizens focused on in their fight to block the county’s proposal to build a new landfill on the 100-acre Stover tract east of the village. Their concerns brought increased awareness and greater environmental protection measures for the proposed landfill: a double-thick synthetic trench liner, an early warning leak detection system underlying the liner, and extra monitoring wells. Joyce Engineering is doing computer modeling of a “worst case” scenario — predicting where contaminated groundwater would go should it escape the landfill site — and studying the possiblity of incorporating a lined leachate collection pond in the first phase of landfill construction. The value of the site’s “shallow aquifer” is also being assessed. It’s all in the name of groundwater protection. So why in the name of groundwater protection is the situation at Rappahannock Lakes being ignored? In 1979, the Health Department ordered improvements to that subdivision’s community water system after it was discovered that water coming from the taps in the 24 homes served by the system had “little things floating around in it” —fecal choliform, or in terms more easily understood — human waste. The well serving the development had only a five-gallon per minute flow and to augment that inadequate source, a spring downhill from a septic system had been connected; believing the spring to be the source of the fecal choliform, the Health Department directed that the spring be disconnected and the primary well dug 60 feet deeper. Fecal choliform in the spring could have been an indicator of serious groundwater contamination. No one * bothered to find out. Certainly the water quality data for this community r water system doesn’t tell us anything. There is no new information in the .Health Department’s Rappahannock Lakes file after February 1979 — immediately following the disconnection of the suspected spring. Hugh Eggborne, who took over as the Health Department’s supervising engineer for community water systems in early 1980, says apparently the department was advised that Rappahannock Lakes no longer met the definition of a community water system. What the changes were, the records don’t indicate. Mr. Eggborne promises to investigate, however. And if he determines that Rappahannock Lakes no longer meets the definition of a public water supply, he should relay the information to local sanitarian Jack Lockhart, who continues to balk at assessing private wells on the grounds that the subdivision has that public system. Charles Shepherd, the district’s current sanitary supervisor, says that for lots as small as those in Rappahannock Lakes to support septic fields, the soils must generally be rated good. But the soil maps for Rappahannock County show the predominance of soil types in that subdivision as poor to fair. And at the public hearings on the setback variance sought by a prospective buyer of a lot in the subdivision, it has been reported that the lake in the development is ' polluted. rut it ail togetner: lecai cnouiorm in tne spring iea Dy groundwater, tiny tots with soils rated fair to poor for drainfields, and now charges that the lake is polluted by septic run-off, and we have an ugly picture of potential groundwater contamination. And as the county’s engineer models that “worst case scenario” of leachate runoff from the proposed landfill, what should be kept in mind is that Virginia’s worst case of groundwater pollution comes not from an abandoned dump, not from a leaking landfill, and not from a chemical lagoon but from the malfunctioning septic fields in Nelson County. If we’re going to worry about the possible threat of groundwater contamination arising from a leak in the liner of a proposed state-of-the-art landfill, we should also be worrying that groundwater might already be contaminated by malfunctioning septic felds in a substandard subdivision. Mr. Shepherd noted that the Health Department is no longer allowed to conduct sanitary surveys in cases of suspected drainfield problems. There must be either a court order or an invitation from the homeowner before his department can evaluate an approved septic system. But Mr. Shepherd said he will meet with Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors to explore other possibilities for determining whether a problem exists in this nonconforming subdivision, which predates the county’s zoning and subdivision controls. The board should take him up on that offer — for the sake of the groundwater. Commentary ALONG THE BANKS of the Hughes River, the buds are pushing forth on the trees and bushes. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor A violent act reaps a bitter harvest _io me eoiior. An open letter to the neighbor who shot my dog: The way you tell it, you came home, and she was there, with a friend, standing over the dead body of one of your goats; two pregnant does, within days of giving birth, were nearby, wounded. You walked into your house, picked up your gun, came out, and shot both dogs dead. I don’t know whether she did the killing and wounding; nor do you. But you killed her anyway. I don’t believe you thought about it for a second. It was a knee-jerk reaction to what you saw as wanton destruction of your property. I imagine you were ragingly angry. I would have been ragingly angry also. I may even have felt like killing the perpetrators. Had they been stray dogs, down from the mountains, out to kill for food, with no owners from whom to exact justice, I might even have been tempted to shoot at them, in an attempt to frighten them so badly that they would not come back. But, as you know, this was not the scenario that confronted you. These were dogs that you knew' belonged to close neighbors; dogs whose owners you knew; dogs you knew were pets. How sad that we have got to the point where we cannot solve problems by communicating, but that our first instinct is to reach for a gun. I would have understood completely had you confronted me with the crime that had been committed, and held me responsible. I would have heard your rage and felt remorse for what Raffles had done. I would have compensated you financially for your loss, and taken every measure possible to ensure that nothing like that ever happened again. But I was not given the chance; more importantly. Raffles was not given a chance. She was tried, convicted and sentenced in one act of rage. Let me tell you a little about Raffles. Raffles had lived here with us for ten years - peaceably - patrolling her neighborhood in the confident manner of a senior resident long before you moved into the area with your goats. She had a pleasant daily schedule of routine visits for friends and neighbors and, at the end of the day, would race us up the driveway as we arrived home from work. In these ten years, there was no reason to think that she was in any way a menace to the neighborhood. On the contrary, Raffles was a gentle, soft, obedient, well-trained, fat, lazy dog. Everyone who knew her loved her. Every visitor to the property w as greeted like a long-lost friend, be they friend or foe. She was my constant companion. To me, she represented the one "safe haven” of stability in a world all too frequently fraught with stressful situations and demanding, conditional relationships. She was unfailingly and unconditionally loyal, devoted and trustworthy. I could be happy, sad, optimistic or pessimistic without fear of judgement, rejection or scorn. I repaid her devotion with an equally powerful love, of w’hich she was aware, and from which I believe she drew strength. I tell you all this for two reasons. First, I believe that everyone has to accept responsibility for their actions. You should therefore be aware that Raffles’ death is an unspeakable loss for me, personally. I am devastated and bereft. A tenyear relationship such as the one shared by Raffles and me is not easily forgotten, but you have snuffed it out in one unthinking rageful act. Second, it is my sincere hope that, should you ever be faced with a similar situation again (and, God knows, I hope you never have to be) you will remember this letter and think before doing something as unspeakably violent and totally irrevocable as what you did to Raffles and Fescue on that day. LESLEY ARNOLD Huntly Trible backs drug bill United States Senator Paul Trible is co-sponsoring a major comprehensive bill that will attack the drug abuse and drug trafficking problem on several fronts. The Omnibus Anti-Drug Ahuse Act addresses both the demand and the supply sides of the narcotics problem, according to an announcement from the Senator’s office. “Drug traffickers are massively accelerating their efforts throughout our land and too often they carry the day,” Virginia’s junior senator said last week. “Too many innocent lives are lost and the fabric and life of our society and its rich potential are compromised by drugs. That’s why we have to act decisively,” Sen. Trible said. The legislation provides $1.5 billion, over three years, to state and local law enforcement agencies to attack the drug problem on the local level. The bill also provides $600 million over three years for a new international economic incentive grant program to encourage drug source countries, particularly in Latin America, to eradicate 40 percent of their illicit drug crops. No comment! io me enuor: I must ask landowners not to call me asking for comments on other landowners’ plans for gypsy moth spraying. What a landowner does on his property is his own business, it is not my place to comment on it, and this is true whether or not the landowner is a client of mine. Several months ago, the Rappahannock County Gypsy Moth Advisory Committee recommended that the county hire a Gypsy Moth Coordinator to as sist with planning, education, ad-, vice and administration of pesu control. (Of these, I think planning is the most urgent.) The county has not acted on this recommendation. Meanwhile, County Administrator John McCarthy is acting as coordinator. He can refer you to private contractors and government agencies for information on gypsy moth management. LYTTELTON WOOD Washington Invitation to open house i o me eunor: On behalf of the children and staff of the Child Care and Learning Center I would like to invite the citizens of Rappahannock County to an open house at the center on Wednesday, April 13, from 9 a.m. to noon and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. During these hours visitors will have an opportunity to see the many activities which are planned daily for the children here at the center.

This 1988 celebration will be held in conjunction with the Child Care America Campaign, a public television Outreach Alliance project. Please come and spend some time at the center on April 13. It would be our pleasure to have vou visit. CARRIE H. AN ABO Executive Director, CCLC Drivers face drug test RICHMOND — Beginning Friday, April 1, Virginia’s revised law for driving under the influence gives police the authority to require a blood test for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of drugs other than alcohol. Drugs covered by the law include illegal, prescription and over-the-counter medication. “Driving under the influence of any self-administered intoxicant is a threat to highway safety,” said Colonel R. L. Suthard, Superintendent of State Police. “The revisions strengthen the existing law covering alcohol and drug-impaired drivers and will better enable law enforcement to rid Virginia’s highways of drugged drivers.” The revised law allows police to take a driver to a designated location for a blood test, even if the driver has already been tested for alcohol. Blood samples will be sent to an office of the Virginia Division of Consolidated Laboratory where they will undergo a general screening for alcohol and/or other drugs. If the blood test is positive for drugs, the driver may be convicted of driving under the influence of drugs. Col. Suthard said. First offense penalties are the same as for driving under the influence of alco hoi, including a fine of up to $1,000, a possible jail sentence of up to one year, and a possible license suspension. Repeat offenders face much stiffer penalties. “Statistics indicate that many drinking drivers have also been using other drugs," said Donald E. Williams, Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles. “Since there was no legal blood test for law enforcement personnel to use prior to this law, there have been few drugged driving convictions.” “In the last three years there were two convictions of driving under the influence of illegal drugs and seven for driving under the influence of prescription drugs. The revised statute should result in better detection, enforcement and more convictions of drugged drivers,” he said. To create awareness about the revised law and to help achieve maximum compliance, a statewide public information campaign is being conducted by DMV, State Police and CADRE (Commonwealth Alliance for Drug Rehabilitation and Education). The campaign, “Think Twice. Driving on Drugs Carries a High Price,” includes television and radio public service announcements, posters and flyers.

Op-Ed r A second chance to say the things that matter i ne news came out of the blue last Thursday — in the somber tone of my brother Gary’s voice as he told my answering machine that my father was in the air — being flown by helicopter to Duke University Medical Center for emergency surgery. There was nothing I could do but wait; wait until Gary arrived with my mother at the hospital. Even they wouldn’t know until then whether Dad had survived the flight to Duke from the hospital in southern Virginia where the main blood vessel in his abdomen ruptured. “I love you.” Those three simple words, more filled with meaning and emotion than probably any other three words in our rich and expressive language. How many times I said them to myself as I waited for word from my family. Our family has always been close, so there was no doubt that Dad knew that his family was behind him, pulling for him. The waiting, not knowing, was the hardest part. Even Duncan, my four-month-old puppy, seemed to sense that something was wrong. Although the cabin door sat wide open, inviting him for a romp in the bright spring sunshine, he stayed inside. He lay near the door, looking at me with sad brown eyes which seemed to say, “I know you’re upset, and I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. But I’m here, and I love you.” I’m glad he didn’t know what the situation was. I thought a lot about what my Dad, “The Dean,” has meant to me. That nickname was given to him, affectionately, by his fellow sportswriters at the Baltimore Sun. Since I’ve followed him into newspapering, it’s also become an affectionate nickname I’ve given him, as well. Each time I call him that, we both smile. I thought about what a model he has been for me: in both his personal and professional life. He’s the reason I’m a joum^st, because of his dedication and the high standards he set for himself. He was tough, and fair, and never lost his sense of humor, no matter what the situation. He never shied from a controversial story, but he never pursued controversy for its own sake. And he never tooted his own horn. He was always in the background, the anonymous reporter telling his readers the story — fairly and accurately. From my chair... by Lou Hatter I remembered what was said of him when he retired in 1984, after a career that spanned 43 years and nearly every sport played by man. One of his long-time editors (and friends) in the Morning Sun newsroom wrote: “That was the thing about Lou. Whatever his assignment, he always carried it out with class, style, good humor and accuracy . . . That’s the way it has always been with Lou Hatter. He did his job well, the way it should be done, but never made an enemy while doing it.” I decided when I read Bob Maisel’s tribute to Dad that I’d like, someday, to have that said about me. No higher tribute could be given a newspaperman. I remembered the Orioles’ Old-Timers’ Game last August, when Brooks Robinson, Boog Powell, Moe Drabowski, Ken Singleton and the other great Orioles' players from my boyhood gathered for an informal contest. Dad served as official scorer, along with his old friend Bob Maisel. I’m a lot bigger now than I was when Dad used to take me to the ballpark, sometimes stopping in the locker room or walking out onto the field during batting practice to talk to some of the players, coaches or manager. I’m a lot bigger than I was when he used to let me carry his beatup, portable Olivetti typewriter with the broken zipper from the pressbox to the Baltimore Clippers dressing room after the ice hockey games. But I realized last August that those ballplayers are still larger than life. Frank Robinson still looks, to me, like he’s ten feet tall. And standing out on the field at Memorial Stadium with Dad, I still felt like the little boy who used to go to the park with him. I was as proud as I ever was to be his son. And I realized last Thursday that “The Dean” is still larger than life, too. Dad will always, to me, be ten feet tall. I’m proud to be following in his footsteps, giant as those shoes might be. And I know he’s proud of me. He kids me that, after nearly fifty years in the newspaper business, there’s finally an editor in the family. I just hope that I’m half as good an editor as he was a reporter. I’ve never been happier when, last Friday afternoon, “The Dean” responded to that nickname with a flicker of his closed eyelids and a squeeze of my hand. By Sunday, he was responding to us, using sign language to communicate his ardent desire to remove the breathing tube frpm his throat. I’m fortunate. Dad’s going to make it — and I’m going to remember that Thursday. He knows how much my mother, my brother Gary and I care about him. Never will I forget how much those three words mean, how easy they are to say, and how often we forget to tell those we care about. But I’m lucky; I get a second chance. His doctors are calling him “The Miracle Man.” One said he must be “made of nails.” Shoot, I could have told him that. He’s “The Dean,” my friend, my mentor, my Dad. I love you, Dad.

THE CORPORATE TRANSFER The corporate transfer is the best of all worlds, financially, that is. Many companies offer to buy, at a fair market value, the home of their transferred employee, or in some. cases, to lend him or her (without interest charge) the equity in that home and manage the property after the family moves out. Manage usually means maintain it and pay mortgage installments, insurance and taxes until it is sold. Most companies also have a specified period of time during which they will pay living expenses while the family househunts and/or awaits closing. If you are a selling transferee, therefore, you will know exactly what equity you have in your property as soon as the company finishes its fair-market-value appraisal. You will then know that the cash you'll need will be available for the closing date of the property you are about to buy. If you are a due-to-be corporate transferee, why not give us a call? We can help you at both ends of the transfer. That’s our specialty. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor.

VA The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Horn* of Thoughtful Soviet* Phone 825-2361 Culpeper CEMETERY MEMORIALS Dual Lanes? TUST SAY NO! FACTS • Solid commmunity resistance can stop the dual laning of 211 between Washington, Va. & Sperryville. • Safety hazards on the present road can be eliminated without duallaning (widen shoulders, add turnoff lanes, improve visibility). • The Department of Transportation has said several times in recent months they will consider a Sperryville by-pass next. • Bigger roads lead to more and faster traffic. (Do you want cars going 6570 mph past your children's schools?) • More residential development in this county means higher taxes? • Dual lanes will cost a minimum of $13.4 million, of which $10.6 million will be federal money. (Is this highway a national priority?) • In the 19 th century, Rappahannock fought successfully to keep out the railroads. Let's live up to this fine tradition and keep this county rural! • A minimum of 72 acres of farmland will be lost forever. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Contact your supervisor and let him know how you feel. The decision of the Supervisors is important. This project is going forward at the request of our supervisors. • Come to the Supervisor's meeting April 4th at 10 o'clock at the Rappahannock courthouse in Washington. Join us in our request for a public hearing. • Come to the "Pre-Allocation" meeting at the Department of Transportation in Culpeper on April 11th at 10 o'clock. The results of this meeting could mean that the dual lanes are not built! Call Stella Cadwalader (987-8329) or Robin Purnell (675-3081) if you need a ride. i i r~-1 i SIGN THE PETITION Add your name to the 500 who have signed so far. WE ARE RESIDENTS OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY AND WE WANT TO STOP THE DUAL-LANING OF ROUTE 211 We, the undersigned residents of Rappahannock County, believe the planned expenditure ol $13.4 million to widen 4.2 miles ot Route 211 between Washington, Va. and Sperryville cannot be justified by arguments for safety, convenience, or practicality The dual-laning ol Route 211 was planned in the 1960 s, but since then the construction ol 1-66 has changed relevant traffic patterns No public hearing has been held in the county on this proposal since 1974, and there has been no public hearing taking these new traffic patterns and other matters into consideration. We further believe that the present highway's safety problems can be eliminated by much less expensive modifications. Emptying a four-lane highway into Sperryville would cause changes in the town that would work hardships on many residents The existing bottleneck at the juncture of Routes 211 and 522 in Sperry ville would become increasingly dangerous and inconvenient to travelers on Routes 211. 522, and 231, indicating the necessity of a bypass east and north of Sperryville that is not in current plans and which no one seems to want. We urge that the plana to extend the dual lanes of Route 211 be cancelled and that work begin this year on lesa drastic measures to eliminate existing roadway hazards. name address district PLEASE MAIL TO: “Frtend* of Old 211”, SR 1, Box 19.

A new tradition: Easter brunch KiUmion Afrent. Home Economics Family traditions carried on during holidays are what make these special times so eagerly awaited by young and old alike. For the Easter celebration, it may be decorating eggs, an egg hunt, baking special Easter breads or going to Easter sunrise services. For Easter 1988, start a new tradition by having an Easter brunch. It is an easy way to have a festive celebration. For starters, try a fresh fruit bowl or tall glasses of orange juice followed by Hot Cross Buns, Raised Dough Waffles, Herbed Creamy Cheese Omelet, Baked Ham with Honey Glaze garnished with Spicy Stuffed Peaches. Spinach with Walnuts, and Oven-Fried Potatoes. Top this off with cool and refreshing Creme de Menthe Sundaes. Hot cross buns were traditionally baked on Good Friday to symbolize the crucifixion. These do nicely when made ahead and frozen until needed. Just cool and freeze the buns wrapped airtight in foil. Do not add icing until ready to serve. On Easter morning, thaw and reheat the buns, covered lightly with foil, in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes. Allow them to cool somewhat before adding the icing crosses. If the buns are too hot, the icing will melt. Sugar Plum Hot Cross Buns 6 to 6V2 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup sugar 12 tsp. salt 2 tsp. nutmeg 2 pkg. active dry yeast 1 cup milk 12 cup water 1/2 cup butter or margarine 2 eggs 1 cup (about 6 oz.) chopped pitted prunes or raisins Icing (recipe below) In large mixing bowl combine lVa cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, nutmeg and yeast. In saucepan combine milk, water and butter. Heat to 120-130 degrees. Gradually add warmed liquids to dry ingredients. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs and and 3/4 cup more of the flour. Beat on high speed 2 minutes. Stir in prunes and enough of remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured board until dough is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, using additional flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking. Place in greased bowl, turning once. Cover with a towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about IV2 to 2 hours. Punch down; divide dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place well apart or greased baking sheets. Cover; lei rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes Brush with beaten egg; bake at 37f degrees 20 to 25 minutes unti golden. Cover wtih foil as needed t< prevent overbrowning. Cool. Drizzk icing over each bun to form a cross. Icing: In small bowl blend unti smooth 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted, with 1 tablespoon lemor juice. The Inn at Starlight Lake ii Starlight, Pa., features Raisec Dough Waffles.

Baked ham is a favorite of many families and may certainly be considered a tradition of Easter. Be sure when you cook your ham, you read the directions that come with the ham carefully. Some hams come “fully cooked” and some you need to cook. The Honey-Glaze provides a nice glaze for baked ham and also serves as the sauce for the Spicy Stuffed Peaches that- complement the baked ham. Honey Glaze-Spicy Stuffed Peaches 1 can (29 oz.) cling peach halves 1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple in own juice 1T. cornstarch 1/8 tsp. each: cinnamon, nutmeg Dash ground cloves 2 T. honey 3 T. chopped walnuts 2 T. raisins For honey glaze, drain peaches ind pineapple; reserve 1/2 cup syrup md 1/2 cup juice. Combine cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in small saucepan. Gradually blend in peach syrup and pineapple juice; stir in honey. Bring to a boll over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and cleajj. For the stuffed peaches, combide pineapple, walnuts and raisins; stir in 1/3 cup honey glaze.

Sports and Outdoor Life Webelos camp, learn skills during overnight By LINDA WELK Rappahannock N«w« Contributing Writer During the weekend of March 11, -the Webelos Den froihi Cub Scout Back 123 of Washington took a camping trip on the property of Pete and Sandra Jenkins of Flint Hill. ” Members of the den attending were Mark Jenkins, Raymond Williams, Leif Anderson, Jason Brown, Daniel Dodson and Timothy O’Meara. They were accompanied by adult leaders Pete Jenkins, Paul 'Nichols, Julian Brown, C. E. Dodson and their Den Leader Ken Welk. - Sunday morning services were led by Rev. Larry Hovis of the Washington Baptist Church. Den Chief Paul Brown assisted in training and leading the games played by the Webelos Scouts. The object of the weekend’s camping and fun was for the scouts to earn the Readyman and Outdoorsman activity badges. To earn the Readyman activity badge, the Webelos had to follow the Boy Scout motto, “Be Prepared.” The scouts successfully learned how to get help for certain problems such as fire, medical emergencies, family problems and police help. They learned fire, bike and swimming safety. They also participated in a very educational First Aid lesson taught by Julian Brown. For the Outdoorsman activity badge, the scouts had to tie five specific knots (square, bowline, clove hitch, two half hitches, and taut-line hitch), take part in an overnight camp, participate in an evening outdoor activity, including a campfire, while learning and practicing fire safety and helping to cook meals, including the clean-up afterwards. ' All six scouts who attended the weekend successfully completed the Photos courtesy of Cathy Smith WEBELOS SCOUTS LEARN mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from instructor Julian Brown during their overnight outing. requirements and earned the activity badges. Some scouts also worked on requirements for other badges, deciding on their own to do that during their free time. Paul Nichols provided, entertainment with a rope trick: looping a rope around his arms, stomping the ground and blowing while pulling the ends of the rope — ending with a neat knot. Some of the Webelos are still stomping and blowing but have Cpl. Cooper in exercise Marine Lance Cpl. Kenneth W. Cooper, son of Truman H. and Helen "M. Cooper of Route 2, Amissville, recently participated in Galera 88 while deployed to the Mediterranean with 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, Camp Lejeune, NC. The six-day operation was held in Medronheira, Portugal, and included a joint and combined air and surface assault between the Portugese armed forces and the U.S. Marines and sailors.

The meals fixed by the scouts included hamburgers, pork and beans, steaks, vegetables, bacon, eggs and pancakes. The scouts had to help with all the cooking and clean-up as well, which brought a lot of laughs for all around. The scouts found that it can be quite an ordeal for a young person to flip a pancake for the first time, or break an egg to put in a skillet to fry. Den Leader Welk reported that some eggs were already well scrambled before they ever hit the skillet — if they ever hit the skillet at all. When it was all done, all the Webelos Scouts — and their adult leaders — enjoyed the weekend and benefited from the learning as well. Webelos Scouting is designed for boys age 9 and 10, as a preparation for their entry into Boy Scouts at age 11. For more information about joining the Webelos Den, or volunteering as an adult leader, contact Den Leader Ken Welk, (708) 3641804.

Now in its third year, the Dogwood Half Hundred has rapidly earned a place among the major hiking events of the East Coast.

This year’s hike is scheduled for Saturday, April 23. The route covers the portion of the Appalachian Trail just north of the Shenandoah National Park. Hikers will set out at 6 #um., and their progress will be monitored at five checkpoints along the way. The Shenandoah Mountain Rescue Group will maintain two-way communications among the checkpoints and provide emergency medical support and safety guidelines.

School PTA nominates slate of officers By DEBORAH FLINCHl M Rappahannock News Special Writer Maggie Rogers. PTA nomination committee chairman, presented her committee's recommendations for next year’s officers at March’s monthly RCES PTA meeting. Nominations were: President. Sherry Brightbill; Vice President, Deborah Flinchum; Secretary. Aney Massie: Treasurer, Marsha Thompson. Nominations for Camille Harris and Mary Jane Swift for president and treasurer, respectively, were accepted from the floor. Their names were added to the ballot. Voting will take place at April’s meeting. Principal Maggie Piper reported the results of the magazine drive, which she called a success. Forty percent of all sales will be used to buy two-way bus radios. Camille Harris, new membership chairman, announced that a concentrated membership drive began March 7. Membership is very low this year compared to previous years, she added. This drive will reach out to teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, parents and concerned citizens. Anyone can become a PTA member - having children in school is not a prerequiste for membership. The Spring Fun Fair will be held May 7, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. This year's fair promises to be bigger and better than last year's fair according to the fair organizers. The drawing associated with the fair will begin in April. School tee shirts which were designed by a student. Kelly Lawler, will be on sale at the fair. The PTA agreed to cosponsor a Summer Children's Theater Workshop. Maggie Rogers, Liz Blubaugh and Cindi Andreoni will conduct a two-week session on theater arts and skills. A play will be presented at the end of the session at the Gay Street Theater. A $25 registration fee will be charged to RCES and RCHS students. Bill Little, PTA district president, informed Camille Harris that three of the works that the school sent to the district “Reflections” competition won first-place awards and will now be sent to the state competition. The works were by Caroline Baumgardner, Katherine Dye and Alice Reeve. The next PTA meeting will be held on April 5 at 7:30. All members are encouraged to attend this meeting and vote for next year’s slate of officers. *0 Deductible P°'nt5_ terest ■ ‘ \i2aL__s. b MultipW the aw anv one 13 s,3'00° °f PQOUL^-^—- <r O UVJW «■ (It you ££ ,nons on line !«>•> <~»r>o No Closing Cost Thru April 15 Thanks to recent federal legislation, you can now deduct all the interest paid on home equity loans of $100,000 or less. * And with the government rapidly reducing the deductibility of other types of loans, a home equity loan makes even more sense.

Over the past ten years Wakefield has organized Easter holiday trips for its students to nations of Western Europe, Italy, Greece, Crete and Egypt. This year students will visit an area of the world which Wakefield’s Headmaster Dr. William Lynn Jr. says they need to learn more about. “Latin America," Dr. Lynn said, “is vital to the future of our own country. It’s time our students learn first hand more about its geography, history, social problems and culture.” Venezuela was chosen for this introductory visit, Dr. Lynn explained, because it is typical of Latin American culture while also remaining safe, stable and remarkably inexpensive. The tour will begin in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, a city of several million people. Here the students will followr the imposing tracks of Simon Bolivar, South America’s famous freedom fighter known as “The Liberator.” His trail begins in the center of Caracas, where the Spanish colonial home in which he was born in 1783 has been restored as a national monument. Not far away, Bolivar is buried in the National Pantheon, a place of pilgrimage for people from all over Latin America. While visiting Caracas, the group will also tour the “tovar,” which is an early German settlement area, and learn about the problems of the Latin American “melting pot.” Before leaving the capital city, students will have an opportunity to view the largest private collection of Pre-Columbian art in the world at the home of their classmate Mikhail Mannil, a Venezuelan student presently in his junior year at Wakefield. From Caracas the tour will proceed by bus to Valencia, Puerto Cabello and Maracay. While staying in this region, students will see several sights of interest, including the “cayos” or peninsulas, a coffee plantation and local beaches. The highlight of the trip will be a three-day visit to the jungle area of the Guiana Highlands. Here there will be a boat trip on the Caroni River and a stop at an Indian village. While in this jungle area, the group will also, view the Angel Falls, the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. From Canaima in the Guiana Highlands the group will fly to the Caribbean island of Margarita, 15 miles off the Venezuelan coast and near the island of Trinidad. Here in this popular resort area famous for its pearl fisheries, beaches and duty free shops, the students will spend the last two days of their trip. They will fly directly from Margarita to New York and then home. In preparation for the trip, participating students have had to attend several after-school classes in which they have heard lectures on Venezuelan history and geography. Garden Club offers three scholarships The Rappahannock County Garden Club’s scholarship board announces that the Garden Club will present three Francis J. Leonard scholarship grants this year to Rappahannock County high school graduates who are residents of the county. Two students will receive awards of $500 each to be used to attend a community college, technical or vocational school or to continue their education through an acceptable training program. The third grant of $1,000 for the first year and $500 for the second year will be presented to the student going on to a four-year college. Scholarship applications are available through James Futrell Jr;, the guidance counselor at RCHS. Parents of graduating high school students “please encourage your children to apply,” a Garden Club spokesman said.

From Russia via an underground communications network, from wartom Lebanon, from the visually inspiring cityscape of San Francisco on the West to the New Hampshire hills and Virginia’s valleys on the East come the works of the friends who are exhibiting in the gallery’s show of shows. “This is one of the beauties of Middle Street,” said Laurie Marshall, a founding member of the nonprofit artists cooperative, the only one of its kind in rural Northern Virginia. “We can mount a show that’s juried by our own perceptions. We can be a show case for new artists in the area.” The gallery runs regular shows of its members’ works as well as occasional special exhibits, like last month’s 7th Congressional District’s High School Art Competition. The look changes constantly, as landscapes replace abstracts replace portraits replace etchings replace sculpture replace weavings of fiber and reeds. But at no time is Middle Street so full of arresting, absorbing, entertaining, and emotionally gripping works as when the gallery artists open the walls to their friends. The friends come from near and far. There’s Alan Berkowitz, psychiatrist at Culpeper Hospital, who has been pursuing photography on a daily basis for the last two years. He makes his debut in Artists and Friends with haunting animal images, color photographs he printed combining a series of slides. Page Smith, formerly a public relations writer for the hospital and now assistant life enhancement coordinator with the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department, is another first time exhibitor. She also takes photography into art with her “Shoescape,” combining the absence df perspective with the drama of light and shadow to present a new view of everyday objects. Blacksmith Nol Putnam brings from his shop and showroom in The Plains two nature studies that belie the perception of iron as cold, hard, and immovable. Putnam’s sculptures prove instead iron’s versatility as a medium for creating vines, flowers, leaves and other objects of fragile delicacy. From Front Royal, custom framer Debra Singleton sends a pastel landscape of Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park’s sweeping expanse of grass and sky, and Steve Griffin sends a realistic acrylic landscape that captures the tranquillity and beauty of the Piedmont countryside. Gallery members Eva Wine and Joel Hoyer, both from Linden, will be exhibiting paintings and fiber art and bringing the work of friends from Sweden and San Francisco. The contributions include pastel mountain scapes of the Blue Ridge by Syria’s Margaret Novak, a magic garden of imaginative plants and flowers air-brushed by Washington freelancer Steve Wagner (who is now working on illustrations for a new Time-Life series), and oil portraits by Bill Sullivan of Orange, who was recently commissioned to paint three landscapes for the Sears Building in Chicago and shows regularly at Sherry French Gallery in New York. Tico Herrera has promised an entry. The recipient of a Guggenheim Grant, Herrera is documenting the work of Bernard Coffendaffer, who is building clusters of crosses across West Virginia and into Virginia. Herrera’s photographs of the crosses were part of a recent cover story in the Washington Post Magazine. From further afield come the works of a Soviet citizen and a Soviet emigre. Edik Gladkov of Moscow was the official photographer for Solzhenitsyn before that writer fell out of favor. Now, as a member of the underground artistic community of the Soviet Union, he is a free-lance photographer who must rely on Western contacts for the materials he needs to develop and print. Visitors to the gallery will be asked this year, at last, to write their responses to Gladkov’s photographs, and their messages will be returned to him via the same underground system that brought his pictures out. In Moscow, teenaged Alexei Afonin was a television film star. His mother played the piano for the Bolshoi and his father was an architect. Afonin was 17 when his family emigrated to the U.S. 14 years ago. Now his father is a New York City cab driver, his mother still plays piano for the ballet, and he is an artist. He paints oils that strike the emotions. “Put your arms around me like a circle round the sun. Put a song in my wounds and honey on my lips. Put your arms around me like a circle round the sun” is the long title of Afonin’s portrait of his mother saying a last goodbye to his brother Andre, who died with lupus, a chronic and debilitating tuberculous disease. Afonin captures a face free of twisted pain for the first time in 15 years and a parent facing the worst that life can bring, the death of a child. Nabil Abed lives midst olive orchards 70 miles from Beirut. The rest of his family has escaped the battleground of Lebanon. He is the last and if he leaves, the family lands will be lost forever in the chaos. So he stays. His brother and sister-inlaw, a cousin of gallery artist Laurie Marshall, visited Abed and returned with his painting. In oil on glass, he shows a woman, her face with the great sadness of all people who must watch helplessly as their country is destroyed by war. In all, 55 artists will participate in this show, a gift to and from the Middle Street Gallery. “First, it’s a gift to our friends.” explained Ms. Marshall, who has been chosen this year by the Virginia Museum as one of the artists for its statewide workshop program. “It’s an opportunity to be in a show that they don’t have to pay for or be judged for. “And it’s a gift to us - the gallery artists - because we get to see our friends’ work. For the past month, I’ve been getting packages in the mail: paintings, drawings, photos, collages,” she said. “Some of our friends we haven’t seen in years, and it may be years more before we do, but at least we get to see their art.” Most of all, Artists and Friends is a gift to a small rural community. It is a gift that inspires, teaches and challenges, all at the same time. In a country setting noted more for its breadth of scenic vistas than its artistic breadth, this show presents an art scape as expansive as the view from Skyline Drive. Artists and Friends will open at the Middle Street Gallery Artists Cooperative Saturday, April 2, with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. In a celebration that echoes the theme of the show, more friends of the gallery artists will be playing music and giving dramatic readings. The exhibit will continue through May 1. Gallery hours are 11 a. m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, or through appointment by calling (703) 675-3440. John O. Marsh Jr. to receive 1988 Outstanding Virginian Award John 0. Marsh Jr., Secretary of the Army and former Virginia Congressman, will be the 1988 recipient of the Outstanding Virginian Award at ceremonies May 14 at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center in Harmony Hollow, south of Front Royal. Secretary of the Army since January 30,1981, Mr. Marsh has served longer than any person to hold the position since it was authorized in 1947. Bom in Winchester, Mr. Marsh attended public schools in Harrisonburg. He enlisted in the United States Army and was commissioned from the OCS in 1945 at the age of 19. He served with the United States occupation forces in Germany. He is also a graduate of Parachute and Jumpmaster School at Fort Benning and holds Senior Parachutist Wings. After the war, Mr. Marsh attended Washington and Lee University and in 1951 received his LL.B. degree. He was then admitted to the Virginia bar and began law practice in Strasburg. In 1962 he was elected to his first of four terms in the United States House of Representatives from Virginia’s 7th District. In 1966, while a member of Congress, he voluntarily served a month’s active duty with the United States Army in South Vietnam. In 1970, he returned to the private sector and resumed his practice of law, but soon returned to federal service in 1973 as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs. In January 1974, he became Vice President Ford’s Assistant for National Security Affairs, then counselor, with cabinet rank, to President Ford, a position he held through the Ford administration. From 1977-1981, he returned to his private law practice. He served in the 116th Infantry Regiment, the 29th Infantry Division and the State Headquarters Detachment to the Virginia National Guard from 1951 to 1976, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Prior to his National Guard service, he was a member of the Army Reserve. He also served on the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute. Mr. Marsh has been awarded the Department of Defense Distinguished Public Service Medal, the American Legion Distinguished Service Medal, the National Guard Distinguished Service Medal, and the National Guard Harry S Truman Award. He is married to Glenn Ann Patterson. They have three children: Rob, Rebecca, and Scot. He is the sixth recipient of the Outstanding Virginian award. Prior honorees have been Harry F. Byrd Jr., Mills Godwin Jr., J. Kenneth Robinson, James Wheat, and Charles Robb.

Smith Jr.. Mrs. Wood attends maternity-care convention Diane Wood recently attended the 1988 international convention of the International Childbirth Education Association in Boston. ICEA is an organization of 10,000 members in 32 countries which unites people who support family-centered maternity care and believe in freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives. A member of ICEA for three years, Mrs. Wood has helped expectant parents in Rappahannock, Culpeper and Warrenton prepare for birth by offering information and relaxing techniques in her classes. ICEA’s Boston convention was attended by 660 childbirth educators, nurses, midwives, physicians, other matemal/child health care providers, and group administrators who work with women in childbirthrelated fields, as well as interested health care consumers. Participants came to the convention from all around the US and Canada, as well as from four other countries. The group was addressed by Janet Balaskas from London, England, founder of the International Active Birth Movement; Christiane Northrup, MD, Yarmouth, Maine, assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Vermont School of Medicine, and Sandra Butler Whyte, Alexandria. Throughout the seminars on medication, teaching techniques, and labor support, Mrs. Wood found a common thread: ‘There is an exciting new level of awareness among those involved in health care, that the body, mind and spirit are one, r that thoughts, emotions, and environmental factors have a tremendous impact on our health. When surrounded by people who love her, supported by attendants who trust her body’s ability to birth, a woman’s labor can be a healing experience and the birth of her child a joyous beginning,” she said. Procedures for beef referendum inc u.o. iseparunem ui riculture has issued a final rule governing the procedures for conducting the beef referendum as authorized by the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985.

Variance Continued from Page 1 the property can still be used, he said, noting that small lots in another of the county’s substandard subdivisions at Chester Gap had been originally sold as camp sites. An expensive campsite? Ascertaining that the present owner had paid $10,000 for the quarter-acre parcel. Chairman Lee Bird questioned: "Would you pay $10.0(X1 for a lot to camp on? ... I think we have to be realistic." When the lot was purchased by Thome Tracy, it was a buildable lot under the less stringent setbacks then in effect: 20 feet from each side and 50 feet from the front property line. The present zoning ordinance enacted in 19bO increased the setback requirements and made the lot unbuildable, resulting essentially in confiscation, said Mr. Bird. "He paid full value when the property was buildable." And accepting Mr. Miller's argument would have broad implications on the whole "grandfather" concept under which land uses existing prior to the establishment of zoning regu lauons are permitted to continue, added BZA member Sid Gottlieb. Asked how common this issue of substandard subdivision lots actually is, Mr. Miller reported than in addition to the 70 lots in Rappahannock Lakes, Chester Gap has 400 lots recorded prior to adoption of subdivision and zoning controls. Other small lot subdivisions exist west of the Town of Washington and scattered in pockets elsewhere in the county, he said. “If this was just one lot surrounded by farm land. I’d see no problem . . . But this is a 70lot subdivision, and half of the lots haven’t been built on,” Mr. Miller said, adding that it’s been reported that the lake in the development is already polluted (bv septic field run off). BZA member Peter Kramer noted that in the Town of Washington are old “cesspools” that have Health Department approval as sewage disposal systems. The drain field for Mr. Hur's lot was approved by the Health Department in 1977 and installed in 1984; it should be recertified as meeting today’s standards, Mr. Kramer said. Present residents opposed Gilbert Dickerson, who owns property adjoining Mr. Hur, opposed granting the variance on the basis of the septic field’s potential for polluting the lake. “Any new (septic fields) put in there are going to add to the problem we’ll have eventually,” he said, presenting a petition with 30 signatures calling on the BZA to enforce the county’s current setback regulations. The signatures represent “basically everybody that is living in there year-round right now,” he told the zoning board. If the variance is denied, Mr. Hur replied, it means that lot 3 is unbuildable; then it would be possible for Mr. Dickerson to buy the property for “a very low price.” He could then merge it with his adjoining small lot to meet setback regulations, and use the already approved septic field and the existing well to serve a new house, Mr. Hur speculated. “I don’t think that’s fair to the present owner, and I don’t think it’s fair to me, either.” When Mr. Dickerson and the other Rappahannock Lakes property owners bought their lots, they did so knowing that the small lots next door were also planned as home sites, said Mr. Gottlieb. In essence, he said, their point of view is, “We The Home Front! by: Gary K. Olsen CXB>atS>GRI Adjustable-rate mortgage* (ARMs) represent about a quarter of the mortgage market. That's somewhat less than a few years ago when interest rates were about twice what they are today.

Contract owner meets ‘good faith' test Moving to the findings which must be made in order to grant a variance. the BZA concluded that the property had been acquired in good faith, evidenced by Mr. Thorne's $10,000 market value payment for the lot. which was buildable under zoning regulations in effect at that time. Mr. Bird reported that Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke had confirmed that a contract buyer can legally apply for a variance and in so doing, assumes the "good faith" standing of the owner. (Peter Kramer suggested, however. that in future cases, the property owner be part of the application in order to fully legitimize the "good taith." "That would be cleaner, sure."agreed Mr. Gottlieb.) The zoning board members also unanimously found that strict application of the zoning regulations would produce undue hardship, considering — but rejecting — Mr. Miller’s contention that the purchaser “takes his chances when he buvs a piece of property” in a subdivision created without review and approval by the county. Mr. Miller also warned that the poor soils for septic fields may pose a health problem, noted Mr. Bird. "If there are health problems, then I don’t think we should approve it." Addressing Mr. Miller's contention that the absence of county approval removes any building rights implied by approval and thus any hardship arising from strict application of the setback regulations. Zoning Administrator John McCarthy “regrettably" disagreed. By not regulating and restricting subdivision, the county tacitly gave its approval, Mr. McCarthy maintained. “Regrettably, that failing is the county’s.” The board members were also unanimous in finding that approval of the variance would neither change the character of the neighborhood nor be detrimental to adjoining properties. But they split on whether the setback problem was of a recurring nature and thus correctable by an ordinance amendment. Mr. Kramer maintained that it was and that the Board of Supervisors could have enacted an amendment but chose not to. Amendment not practical Mr. McCarthy countered that while recognizing the problem with setbacks does recur, the board could find no "reasonably practical” amendment to correct the situation. As Col. Ellis Bingham had suggested, the board could have applied the 1973 setback standards to Rappahannock Lakes, but the majority felt that would be an impractical “band-aid fix” since variances would still be necessary for building in many cases, Mr. McCarthy said. And the board could have passed an amendment eliminating setbacks entirely in Rappahannock Lakes, he noted. But those and other options were thought to be unreasonable, and instead the board concluded that the only way to address the setback issue in Rappahannock Lakes is "individually by variance.” Mr. Kramer’s disagreement with that position amounts to an attempt to determine NUGGETS OF TRUTH HE IS ALIVE This Easter we celebrate the death and burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is alive, and he has risen. He was resurrected to give life to those that are dead in their sins, to give healing to those who are sick in the body, to give deliverance to those held captive by drugs and alcohol, and to be a friend to the lonely and depressed. He is alive to heal the brokenhearted. What ever your need is this Easter I declare unto you that the power of the resurrected Christ is enough to meet that need.

Pastor: Bill Taylor 987-8014 l 9 how the zoning ordinance should be written, which is a legislative prerogative of the Board of Supervisors and not the Board of Zoning Appeals. the zoning administrator said. Chairman Bird stressed that the issue is not whether an amendment is possible but whether it is reasonably practical. And based on the difference in size and shape of nonconforming lots the supervisors have concluded that in this case, an amendment is not reasonably practical or in the best interests of the county, he noted. "There are differences, but it’s still basically the same problem and it’s all setback,” said Butch Zindel, siding with Mr. Kramer. But with a variance as opposed to a general amendment, “we can allow the minimum to provide relief," Mr. Bird countered. “We can get the best deal we can for the county,” agreed Mr. Gottlieb. “We’ve exercised the one option we have — to refer it to the Board of Supervisors. I don’t see now why we can’t make this finding." To choose not to enact the amendment “is their decision, but it leaves me unable to make the finding," said Mr. Kramer, adding that if the variance is denied as a result, the present owner’s action “is a suit against the county." "His first action would be a suit against this board for denying the variance.” interjected Mr. McCarthy. By majority vote. Chairman Bird, Mr. Gottlieb, and James Swindler found the setback problem in Rappahannock Lakes not correctable by general ordinance amendment. With this remaining obstacle to the variance removed, the BZA members agreed that setbacks of 20 feet from the sidelines and 50 feet from the front would be the minimum to afford Mr. Hur relief. Approval sets strict conditions They further voted unanimously to make reaffirmation of the septic permit — based on 1988 standards — a condition for granting the variance and directed that the soil’s suitability for subsurface waste disposal be assessed through a percolation test. In addition, they asked for reassurance from the Health Department that the existing ungrouted well, or a new private well dug on the property, meets state standards. Mr. Hur noted the final condition may present a problem since sanitarian Jack Lockhart has said he “won’t have anything to do with the well.” Mr. McCarthy reported that it’s the Health Department’s policy to refuse private well inspection in an area served by public water. However, in the case of Rappahannock Lakes, where the public system is clearly inadequate, “they’ve been doing it, but they haven’t liked it.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703) 987-8088 - Office On Rt. 522, 6.2 acres with cleared building site, stream, long road frontage. $28,000.

With the conditions of perc test, affirmation that the septic field meets 1988 standards, and approval of the private water well, the BZA voted 3-2, with Mr. Kramer and Mr. Zindel opposed, to grant the variance. After learning of situation. Health Department promises investigation Charles Shepherd, regional sanitation supervisor, said in a telephone interview Monday that the minimum setback for an approved well is 50 feet from the foundation of the house, 50 feet from the drain field and septic tank, and 10 feet from property lines. In a lot only 150 feet long, those setback regulations would be difficult — if not impossible — to meet, he noted. Mr. Shepherd also said that the Health Department will be willing to work with the landowner to satisfy the BZA’s condition of a perc test. He confirmed that percolation tests were rare-ly conducted in the past and are done now primarily with subdivision approval. According to Hugh Eggbome, the Health Department engineer responsible for overseeing community water systems, the records do not show Rappahannock Lakes as being served by a public system. The system previously met the standards for Department monitoring — 25 people served 60 days of the year or 15 service connections. In 1979, when tests showed the water being carried to the house., in Rappahannock Lakes was contaminated by fecal choliform, the Health Department ordered a spring downhill from a septic field disconnected and the primary water well dug 60 feet deeper and a new pressure switch installed. But Mr. Eggbome, who took his post in 1980, said that “there’s been no activity” since before he became responsible for community water systems. The file on Rappahannock Lakes contains no recent water quality data and “we’re not providing any supervision for that system,” he said, guessing that the department had been advised prior to his assuming his post that it wras no longer a public system. “We will be investigating,” he said. “If it serves 25 people or has 15 connections, it's a public water supply and we’ll be back in the picture.” Building? • Paint • Lumber fS • Millwork • Hardware 1 Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the by-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 RAY T CANNON CO.

Rappahannock is also receiving more from the state this year as measured by percentage increase, a situation which Superintendent David Gangel attributes primarily to a new upward trend in school enrollment. According to figures from Richmond, Fauquier will receive 2 percent more in state aid. Orange 4.5 percent, Warren 6.2 percent, Culpeper 7.8 percent, and Madison 9.7 percent. Only three Virginia counties — Accomack, Lunenburg, and Highland — are projected to get larger percentage increases in state aid than Rappahannock in 1988-89. Other highlights of the 1988-89 budget, which is up 13 percent over the current year’s $3,407,792 spending plan, include: • One new teaching post at the elementary school intended as a combination art teacher and gifted and talented program coordinator unless higher-than-expected enrollment requires the addition of a fourth kindergarten class. • Major improvements to the sewage disposal systems at both schools, an additional custodial posi tion at the high school, and maintenance work at both schools which combine to raise the category for operation and maintenance of school plants by 30 percent. • Two new school buses rather than the single bus called for by Rappahannock’s standard replacement schedule, a move that will allow the county fleet to stay within the state’s guidelines for mileage accumulation. • An increase of almost 90 percent in debt service, the result of the interest payment on the $2.1 million literary loan for the high school expansion. According to Dr. Gangel, the construction project continues on schedule and should be completed before the Aug. 1 anniversary date of the loan award. But should late arrivals of shipped materials delay work past that anniversary date, the interest payment will climb by .$7,000, he noted. Dr. Gangel will give a preliminary budget presentation to the supervisors at their board meeting April 4. A public hearing on the proposed school budget is expected to be scheduled for later in the month. Also at last Tuesday’s final work session, the School Board held an executive meeting to discuss personnel matters. Dr. Gangel reported that no action was taken. ‘Prevention of Stroke’ Fauquier Hospital will present a free program on the prevention of stroke Tuesday, April 12, at 7:30 p.m. The program will focus on what a stroke is, how a stroke can be caused and methods of prevention.
