Council approves Scott subdivision Following the recommendation of its Planning Commission, the Washington Town Council approved a subdivision request from the Rev. Richard Scott. The planners made the recommendation after a special meeting held before the regular council meeting on June 9. Rev. Scott applied for a permit to subdivide his 2.32-acre parcel on Piedmont Ave. into three lots. One would contain an existing house on Piedmont Ave., while the two new lots would share a driveway with access through a “pipestem” of land from the street to the lots behind. Rev. Scott explained that he had chosen the layout to provide the best views of the mountains from the two rear lots, and also to eliminate the need for easements through the front lot or building a street to transportation department specifications. “I chose the lesser of two evils,” he said. The Planning Commission’s recommendation came after provisions were attached to the permit which require Rev. Scott to dedicate a 25-foot strip of land to the town as a right-of-way, and to post a performance bond for the construction of curbs and putters along the stretch of Piedmont Ave. on which the property fronts. Those two provisions, Planning Commission Chairman William Wickens noted, are required by the language of the town’s subdivision ordinance. During its meeting last week, and during its first discussion of the request in May, the Planning Commissioners voiced their desire and their intent to make substantial revisions in the subdivision ordinance, including removing the language which makes 50-foot rights-of-way, sidewalks, curbs and gutters mandatory in any subdivision created within the town. However, as Mr. Wickens told the council, "The ordinance says ‘shall,’ and we could not waive those requirements. We must under the law require these improvements — and hope that he doesn’t put them in.” He also noted that the commission intended to make the approval contingent on an independent perc test, but waived that provision when Zoning AdminisSee SCOTT, p. 16 Subdivision ordinance challenged By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Amend the zoning ordinance’s provision governing family transfers or face a lawsuit. That’s the message Joan Brown Doares gave the Rappahannock Planning Commission last Wednesday. And in response, the Planning Commission authorized Zoning Administrator John McCarthy to advertise for public hearing an amendment that would limit the number of family transfers to one per qualifying parcel in any calendar year and require that all affected property owners be given notice that such a division has taken place. But it’s unclear as to whether those changes will remove impediments to Mrs. Doares’ intent to give her son five acres from her 16-acre lot near Amissville and thereby head off a challenge to the county’s land use regulations. “That will address the perception that there’s a race to my door and an unfairness in how family transfers are handed out,” said Mr. McCarthy. But the proposed amendment “doesn’t address Mrs. Doares’ problem,” he said. He added, however, that the Commonwealth's Attorney will be asked to determine if the amendment “may conceivably” give her “standing under the grandfather clause because her application (for a special exception permit) is on my desk while this is going on.” Thwarted by “five-cut” rule Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance provides for the transfer of land to immediate family members, in accordance with the dictates of state law, and exempts such transfers from density restrictions, allowing subdivisions as small as two acres contingent upon issuance of a Health Department permit for a septic field. But there’s a limitation: a maximum of five divisions of any kind may be made from lots of record as of 1962, the year the county’s first land use ordinances were enacted. Mrs. Doares’ father gave her 16 acres and her sister Olivia 25 acres in 1973. “These lots were approved as legal lots. They were not what your zoning law calls family transfers,” Mrs. Doares told the planning commissioners. In 1982, the sister sold her 26 acres to the Kellersons who in April 1988 had three two-acre divisions approved under the family exemption for transfer to their three children. At that point, unbeknownst to Mrs. Doares, the five-cut ceiling was reached. “A few weeks later, I came to Mr. McCarthy’s office and asked for one five-acre lot to give to my son, so that he, too, can live here in the land of his roots,” Mrs. Doares said. She was told the division could be allowed only with a special exception. At Wednesday’s public hearing on her application for the exception, Mr. McCarthy noted five divisions already have been made from the original lot of record and recommended denial because the county’s density regulations of one dwelling unit per 25 acres on agriculturally-zoned land couldn’t be met. “Mr. Kellerson beat Mrs. Doares to Mr. McCarthy’s office to get his three lots before she got her one,” said Douglas Baumgardner, the attorney representing Mrs. Doares. Except for the “five-cut” rule, “she would be entitled to the family transfer,” he added. Ordinance amendment offered In expectation that the Planning Commission would recommend denial of her application for a special excepSee SUBDIVISION, p. 15 r i July Fourth tradition continues At last year’s Fourth of July celebration in Washington, William Carrigan announced that, after 26 years of sponsoring the festival, he was calling it quits. Mr. Carrigan is still holding to his pledge, although this year he is serving as the advisor to the coalition of town volunteers who have taken over sponsorship of the annual event. An umbrella organization made up of representatives of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, the Washington Town Council, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and tbe See FOURTH, p. 16 North Anna exercise may affect Rappahannock For the first time, nuclear alert is expanded beyond adjacent counties Next Tuesday, June 28, the Virginia Department of Emergency Services and Virginia Power, the licensee of the North Anna Nuclear Power Station in Spotsylvania County, will conduct a drill to test the response to a simulated emergency at the power station. Code-named VOPEX 1-88, the Virginia Operations Plan EXercise is designed to test the readiness of the state’s emergency services network. The precise time of the drill will not be announced. Previously, participation in the periodic exercises has been limited to the counties within a 10-mile radius of the station: Caroline, Hanover, Louisa, Orange and Spot-sylvania. This year, however, officials have expanded the drill to include any counties within a 50-mile radius. This area, termed the “ingestion pathway,” is the area within which people and property would be in critical danger of contamination from any aerial release of radiation from the plant. The actual path would, of course, depend upon the direction of the winds at the time of release. To simulate the movement of that irradiated plume, state DES officials will declare the wind direction at the time the exercise is announced, some time during June 28. Whether Rappahannock County is included in the exercise will depend upon the wind direction. If it is, according to Col. Dieter Knuepfer, the county’s director of emergency services, the southern end of the county would be affected. Col. Knuepfer said that broadcasts would be made through the Sheriffs De partment dispatch office to the department’s deputies and the county’s fire and rescue companies. ‘To ensure that there is no confusion that this is an exercise,” Col. Knuepfer added, “all traffic transmitted in connection with the drill, either by radio or by telephone, must be preceded by the phrase. This is a VOPEX message’.” Col. Knuepfer said that Rappahannock’s participation in the exercise, if it is in the “ingestion pathway,” would be limited to receipt of warning and action messages. This will be done, he said, through the county’s “Warning Fanout System,” by which the alert message is broadcast to county officials, the schools, social services, law enforcement and fire and rescue, and to the general public. He cautioned that county residents with scanners which monitor fire and rescue or law enforcement frequencies should be aware that the exercise will be conducted next Tuesday, and that there should be no cause for alarm if messages concerning an aerial release of radiation from the North Anna power station are heard some time that day. Again, Col. Knuepfer stressed, all radio and telephone messages concerning the exercise will be preceded by the statement, “This is a VOPEX message.” No actions will be taken during the exercise other than activating the alert system, Col. Knuepfer said. At a later date, an evaluation and critique of the system’s performance will be held.

’ Sperryville kicks off summer carnival season Though the skies threatened a washout several evenings last week, the rains held off and the Sperryville , Volunteer Fire Department’s annual - carnival did not suffer a repeat of last year’s misfortune. On Sunday, Chief Ricky Lillard reported a “rough gross” of around $20,000 for the five-day event, and pronounced it a success. “That’s up quite a bit from last year,” he said, when torrential | downpours on Friday and Saturday nights rained out the event. “On behalf of the rest of the de. partment,” Chief Lillard said, “I’d i like to thank all of the people who came out to the carnival and sup. ported the department. And we couldn’t have done it without the . help of the many volunteers within and outside the department who i gave their time and effort to help. I • can’t begin to thank them all individually, but you know who you are, and we appreciate your help. ” Assistant Chief Greg Wayland, the carnival committee’s chairman, kdded that the help of the many Sperryville residents who worked before and during the carnival was -• particularly appreciated. “Without the support of the community, our ■ job would be much more difficult, if 1 not impossible,” he said. On Friday, rain threatened in the * skies above the firemen’s parade, but the showers held off and about ’ 80 units participated in the march down Main Street, culminating in a ! review before the parade judges and m m&mm N x. *'\*s Rappahannock Newt photo/Lou Hatter SPERRYVILLE’S CARNIVAL QUEEN, Tammy Dwyer, is crowned by last year’s winner, Susan Estes. then inspection by fire and rescue judges at the carnival grounds. On Saturday evening, Tammy Dwyer was crowned as the department’s carnival queen by last year’s winner, Susan Estes. First runnerup in the competition was Melissa Brown, followed by Michelle Weakley. Also on Saturday, the winners of the department’s cash awards were announced. Richard Settle of Flint Hill went home the big winner of $1,000. Four Sperryville residents each received a check for $100: Carson Johnson, J. M. O’Bannon, Dean Atkins and Buddy Brown. A fifth $100 prize was won by Chris Berta of Amissville. On Sunday, members of the department and the carnival workers were busy cleaning up and disassembling the rides. “We had good crowds,” Chief Lillard said, “especially Friday and Saturday nights. Almost everybody stayed late. We appreciate the support of everybody who came.” The other volunteer firefighters gathered around nodded in agreement. Next week, the carnival venue moves to Amissville, where Company 3 will hold its annual event on the carnival grounds beside the fire station on Rt. 211. The carnival runs from June 29 to July 2, with the firemen’s parade scheduled for Thursday, June SO, at 7 p.m., and the crowning of the carnival queen for Friday, July 1, at 11 p.m. ’ School Board will request carry-over to complete project In the final month of this fiscal year, the Rappahannock School Board will follow standard practice and fill gas tanks, coal bins, and oil tanks, and still there will be about “ $85,000 left in the $3,520,462 education budget appropriated by the supervisors for 1987-88. At last week’s School Board meeting, Superintendent David Gangel received authorization to ask the supervisors to carry over those unexpended funds, plus $1,871 from . recent auction proceeds and $1,221 from the sale of the old gym floor, to : complete the high school expansion project, r; . Dr. Gangel said he will bring an exact figure on the amount remaining in the current budget and a completed list of expenditures to the School Board’s pay-out meeting set later this month. “Some of these things were already ordered (in expectation of additional state revenue from the higher-than-anticipated enrollment this year), so I hope we get the money to pay for them!” said the superintendent, adding that while the funds are available now, the bills are not going to come in before the June 30 deadline for paying from the 1987 88 school account. In an update on the progress of the RCHS capital outlay project, Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell reported that the contractor expects all the “big items” to be completed this month, including the sanding of the new gymnasium floor, the ceiling and seating in the new auditorium, and carpeting throughout the addition. “The finish work — tiling in the commons area, odds and ends — should be completely done by mid-July.” Work has begun on moving the two modular units from the high : O | U school to the elementary school, Dr. Gangel added, saying he also will give the School Board a recommendation on placement of the trailers at the pay-out meeting. He assured the board members that the paperwork for the State Department of Education’s acceptance of the RCHS capital outlay project will be completed in time to avoid having to pay an additional $7,000 in interest which would become due if the project drags on beyond the Aug. 1 anniversary date of the literary loan awarded for construction of the high school addition.

The training program is sponsored by the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service’s Community Resource Development program, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, and the Virginia Citizens Planning Association. It is the only one of its kind in the nation, Mr. Chandler said. Mr. Chandler, an Extension Community Development Specialist, said the program featured a rigorous set of requirements. The first phase of the 10-week course included two days of classroom instruction on such topics as the job of the BZA member, BZA powers and duties, the nature of zoning, zoning’s legal foundation and the tools of planning. The second phase required each participant to read five texts and complete 10 home study lessons based on the readings. Each participant was also required to attend and critique a planning commission meeting.

According to Capt. Ed Streapy, Rappahannock’s investigator, the break-in at the Exxon station occurred between 10:15 p.m. Sunday, June 19, and 5:50 a.m. the next day. He said the thief, or thieves, gained entrance by breaking out one of the panels in a garage bay door. They then broke through an interior door into the office area. Charles Clinedinst, the station’s owner, reported that an NCR cash register and an undetermined but substantial amount of money were taken. He added that a number of documents, keys and other items kept in the register are missing as well. Capt. Streapy is also investigating a burglary June 9 at Tom Massif's farm, in which approximately $2,0(H) worth of hand and power tools were taken from a barn. Mr. Massie described the items as a 10-drawer Craftsman tool chest, a power saw, drill and grinder. He said the entry of the barn happened during the night or early morning of June 9. The chest, which Mr. Massie said contained “20 years worth of tools,” weighed between 100 and 2(H) pounds. “I wouldn't want to have moved it by myself,” he said. “I would dearly love to know who did this, and to have him stopped,” Mr. Massie added. Capt. Streapy asked that anyone with information about either break-in contact him at the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department 0575-3331 or (575-3322) He said that information will be kept confidential if the caller requests.

Requests must be made on an application form filed in the ASCS office by July 1 and before a practice is started, according to T.V. Williams Jr., chairman of the ASC Committee. Mr. Williams listed the following eligible practices: Establishing or improving permanent vegetat ive cover, livestock watering facilities, sod waterways, planting or improving forest trees, and animal waste facilities. Emphasis is on saving the most soil, so sign up on the area of your farm that is causing the most soil erosion, Mr. Williams suggested. All requests are subject to the consideration and approval of the county committee. The amount of soil loss before the practice and the amount of soil saved by carrying out the practice will be taken into account. Funds will be targeted toward practices that save the most soil. “No cost share will he paid on any practice that is started before committee approval,” Mr. Williams noted. Soil tests are required for practices involving lime and or fertilizer. Tests made within the past two years are acceptable, and farmers are requested to bring samples or soil test result sheets with them when applying for the program. By law, program eligibility is limited to agricultural producers, Mr. Williams added.

Editorial Our heritage for sale? The newspapers have begun calling it “The Third Battle of Manassas." The Hazel Peterson Company's plan to build “William Center," a 1.2 million square foot shopping mall next to the Manassas Battlefield Park just north of 1-66, has outraged preservationists, history buffs and everyone with a concern for the character and heritage of Piedmont Virginia. It began two years ago as a 600-acre business and residential development, including 120,000 square feet of retail space. Opponents were assured that the project would be low-profile and well-screened from the 5,000-acre battlefield park which lies near the site. Based on the stated conditions, the National Park Service and Prince William County approved the proposal. Then, in January, the plan changed with the announcement by HazeLPeterson Company that a larger. &00-shop mall would be built cm the battlefield, rather than adjacent to it, although the land is not part of the battlefield park. And, the project doesn’t stop with the mall; 560 houses and another two milium square feet of commercial space are already in the planning stages. Leaving aside the question of whether Manassas really needs another mall, this proposal has focused debate on what is, unfortunately, an all-too-common occurrence: the destruction of important pieces of our history by development. It happens when our common heritage is subordinated to selfish interests; when greed replaces pnde and honor in our national character. What message do we send our children when a member of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors remarks that the battlefield is “a place for dead people”? How can we expect them to grow up with pride in their American heritage when their elected officials, by their actions, teach them that historical monuments are nothing more than another piece of feal estate — to be sacrificed for development when the right bundle of bucks comes along? * The saddest and most disturbing element of thi3 controversy is that the Manassas proposal is not an anomaly. It has captured the attention of the news media, and therefore has received a lot of exposure in the press. But the same things are happening all around us. Look at the Rt. 3 corridor just west of Fredericksburg, where the highway passes through the Chancellorsville battlefield. On Rt. 20, just down the road from Chancellors ville, developers threaten the W’ildemess battlefield as well; and nearby, the Spotsylvania battlefield Ls under attack too. All are National Military Parks, as Ls the Manassas battlefield. Where does this desecration stop? Is Arlington Cemetery also for sale — waiting only for the right offer to come along? It too is prime real estate — condominiums on the site of the I wo Jima Memorial would offer a breathtaking view of federal Washington — and no doubt command a breathtaking price tag. And, taking the argument of the Prince William supervisors, it too is just “a place for dead people.” Few Americans, we feel, would support such a proposal. But the Manassas William Center proposal differs from the Arlington Cemetery example only by degree. The question becomes, in essence, where do we find our heritage? Do we spend a few quiet moments in the tall grass and gentle breezes of the once-bloody fields around Bull Run, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought there — who paid with their lives to build our nation? Or do we flock like lemmings to the air-conditioned, Muzak-filled shopping malls which spring like noxious weeds from cracks in today’s ever-expanding ribbons of asphalt, lining the pockets of developers with the green of the almighty dollar as they obliterate the God-given green of trees and fields? Or, more bluntly: Which path leads us to “a place for dead people?” r Supervisors agenda The following item* are on the agenda for a special meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, scheduled for Monday, June 27, at 7:20 p.m. at the Courthouse. The topics listed are tentatively set for consideration, but the agenda is subject to revision before the meeting. • School Board appointment#: Jackaon District beat, reappoint‘ merit of Chairman Beveriy Masi toe; Piedmont District neat, appointment of Dorothy Butler • Adoption of county budget • Report on construction pro* gress at the landfill site Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor Carnival a community effort To the editor. • On behalf of the Sperryvilk Volunteer Fire Department. ! would tike Vj thank everyone who made wr carnival last week a success.

GREG WAYLAND Carnival Chairman Sperryvilie VFD Taking lime to listen eases communication By JOHN BORGES'S Vtm t amAntmum* » nt»r Have you ever been prejudged by anyone? VNp pen it happens, it car leave you feeling anger or resentment toward the individual doing the judging. It is especially unfortunate when neither person involved realizes exactly what happened!: only that they are left feeling anger toward each other. This is often the scenario between parents and children, husbands and wives or even between members of a committee or office staff. A frequent example is the child or teenager who comes home from school and asks his parents if he can have permission for some privilege. All too often, the parents are not really listening to the child's request, but are already focusing on Family f* how they plan to respond. The problem hits home again in many marriage relationships. How many times does the wife begin to discuss an issue and her husband immediately begins to think. "Oh. she's just trying to spend more money”? Or the reverse happens, when the husband begins to talk about something which is bothering him. and as the words leave his mouth his wife is already thinking, “He’s just trying to get out of work here at home. “ Donated equipment helps outfit physics lab To the editor: Recently several very thoughtful members of our community have provided the Rappahannock County High School lab with some much rneeded equipment. Joel Daczewitz has kept us well supplied with wire and with industrial size batteries. The Clinic sent over a supply of dry ice. From the Robert Turman household and the Rufus Baines household came two very usefu. oscilloscopes which will allow much more hands-on work by future RCHS physics students - in fact, they will be used immediately in the regional SummerQuest pro gram, which will be held in Rappa hannock. Physics equipment is very expensive and we are far from being sufficiently stocked in this area, but these contributions are most helpful and most appreciated. In fact if any-* one has an aquarium pump they do not want any more, we need four for this summer, and could benefit from the loan of a couple of hot air guns. Again, thanks are extended to those people who have been very thoughtful and helpful. BRIONG. PATTERSON. RCHS Physics Instructor These are examples of serious breakdowns in effective, healthy communication which affect the closeness of family members. In marriage, especially, it is difficult to be emotionally intimate with a partner whom you can't communicate with. Prejudging is not just isolated to family situations — it can occur in any social group, work place or volunteer organization as well. How does it start? Perhaps the origin is in an orientation or focus on one's self and wanting things to go “my way.” Sometimes, a person’s antenna may be up and he becomes sensitive to a point of view or opinion different from his own — perceiving it as a personal attack. But often, an attack is not the intent of the person trying to communicate. If people would take more time' to really listen, many hurt feelings and problems could be avoided. I am reminded of the saying that w*| should be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. Taking the time to really communicate will avoid feelings of distress, anger or bitterness toward other people. In fact, it never ceases to amaze me that when people express themselves and I really listen, often theyi do not say or make the point that ij assumed they would. } _ i John Borgens is a Licensed C/in ! teal Social Worker in private prac-j tice.

Trible requests anti-drug summit Senator Paul Trible has called on President Reagan to convene an anti-drug summit of Western Hemisphere heads of state to find ways to combat the international drug trade. In a statement on the Senate floor while introducing the drug summit legislation. Sen. Trible said, “Illegal drugs threaten the well-being of every nation in the Americas. Individually we cannot meet this challenge, but collectively we can - and must - take decisive action. “Drugs are a threat to all Americans - North and South. For example, the cocaine which becomes crack in our streets and neighborhoods is typically grown in the highlands of Bolivia and Peru. It is processed in Colombia and transhipped through Mexico and the Bahamas. It finally arrives in Virginia and the other states of our nation. Along the way it leaves a trail of illicit profits, corrupt officials, broken lives and death. “Neither the United States nor its neighbors can combat this prob/ lem alone. The drug trade now wields its corrupt m,, nfluence in every nation of our hemisphere and we must join together to stop it. “Only cooperation at the highest level of government will vield positive results. This issue must be given first priority. “The summit should focus on finding ways to stop the production and processing of narcotics, their shipment from country to country, drug-related corruption, and the laundering of drug profits, “It’s time tlu-c the heads of state in the Western Hemisphere meet and talk and take decisive action to combat the deadly and dangerous drug traffic that has engulfed us. I hope that President Reagan will respond positively to this resolution and provide the leadership that is essential to our success,” Sen. Trible concluded. Senators Robert Dole (R-KS), Alfonse D’Amato (R-NY) and Den- ■ nis DeConcini (D-AZ) co-sponsored | Sen. Trible’s resolution. Interdisciplinary camp offered here This summer, as in past years, Rappahannock’s “gifted and talented” students will take part in special programs offered on college campuses, on the shores and waters of the Chesapeake Bay, and at other public schools. But there’s also a new switch: this summer Rappahannock students will also attend a special program offered in Rappahannock County. Last week, the School Board approved Dr. David Gangel’s proposal for “The Mountains,” a two-week interdisciplinary educational camp. The local program will keep the gifted and talented funds which Rappahannock receives from the state here “to pay our own staff and build the expertise of county teachers, the superintendent said. “There’s nothing but pluses . . . Nothing but good comes out of a program like this.” “The Mountains” will include classroom and field studies on the geology of the Blue Ridge, climate, plant and animal life, the farming and orchard-based economy of the area, the people and their culture, land use policies on how the mountains should be used, and the interrelationship of all those components. RCHS English teacher Jon Heddleston will coordinate the program, which also will be open to “one or i two students from the Eastern * Shore” school division where local * children are attending a marine sci-! ence camp, Dr. Gangel said. } Rappahannock's summer pro-; gram will cost about $1,500. which is ! available from the 1988-89 budget al-' location for gifted and talented offer- • ings, he said. “That’s comparable toj what we’re paying for Rappahan-5 nock County children to attend sum-* mer programs elsewhere. ” * While the School Board unani-i* mously approved “The Mountains’^ as a pilot project, Chairman Beverlyf Massie asked for a detailed report oh what is being spent to underwrite} summer courses for students in the£ gifted and talented programs. She also requested feedback from par-3 ents and students.

Op - Ed I % .Constitution’s ratification a close call 5: By WARREN E. BURGER Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer As those fateful days of 1788 passed, the Virginia ratification convention emerged as the most dramatic meeting yet, replete with hints of violence, secret strategies and Patrick Henry’s passionate oratory. The debate became so heated that Edmund Randolph challenged Patrick Henry to a duel - one that never came off. ' George Washington, who chose not to attend, was the only notable Virginia absentee as 170 delegates arrived in Richmond on June 4, 1788. The promise of Virginia’s prominent role in the ratification process had attracted most of the key figures in the state. But the stage clearly belonged to Patrick Henry, a man of legendary eloquence and political acumen. A year earlier, he had declined to be a delegate of Philadelphia, saying he “smelt a rat.” That “rat” - the Constitution written in Philadelphia — was now before the delegates in Richmond and Henry detected the same aroma. Buoyed by the cheers of fellow “Henryites,” he began his vigorous assault on the Constitution by objecting to the phrase “We the People” instead of “We the States” in the Preamble. “Does this not sound like a Compact between Prince and people?” he asked. His eloquence blurred the fact that there was no “prince.” Furthermore, he said, the Framers had refused to include a Bill of Rights. Henry questioned the good sense of individuals who would sign a contract with important terms postponed until later. ; Soft-spoken and small of stature, the principal arButect of the Constitution, James Madison - with roung John Marshall at his elbow — responded to Hengy’s arguments. While his modest oratorical skills were 8o match for those of Patrick Henry, Madison pointed Out with clear logic Henry’s inconsistencies and quieted (post objections. Virginians listened to James Madison. y Neither side was prepared for the dramatic change bf mind by Governor Edmund Randolph, one of three Philadelphia delegates who had refused to sign the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. Randolph had previously insisted that a second convention be held to incorporate a Bill of Rights, but he was now persuaded that any delay might doom the Constitution; with Madison he was now willing to wait. Patrick Henry’s response was swift and pointed. In questioning this turn-around by Randolph, a man not known for capricious behavior, Henry suggested that perhaps George Washington had bought Randolph’s support by promising him a position in the new government. This scandalous conjecture so aroused Randolph that he challenged Henry to duel; the duel was later called off. *' Interestingly, several years later Randolph was dogged by similar suggestions when he became Washington’s first Attorney General. Many delegates were puzzled over the position of Thomas Jefferson, who had been in Paris at the time of the Philadelphia Convention. While his initial reaction to the Constitution had been negative, Jefferson had later indicated support. He, too, was apprehensive about central power and the absence of a Bill of Rights. 1 The issue became clear when Patrick Henry disclosed a letter Jefferson had written to a tobacco farmer revealing his true sentiments: he wanted the first nine conventions to ratify - making the Constitution official for those states — but he urged the next four to reject the document to help generate support for amendments that would add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Jefferson’s position marked a major setback for the Constitution’s supporters. Jefferson was later to describe the authors of the Constitution as “demi-gods.” Very likely his confidence in Madison influenced his final view. But the last round belonged to the Federalists. Edmund Randolph countered Henry’s “secret letter” tactic by not disclosing a letter from New York Governor George Clinton which suggested that both state delegations hold out for a second Federal Convention to amend the proposed Constitution. The convention delegates voted. On June 25, 1788, Virginia became the 10th state to ratify by a vote of 89 to 79. The vote in Virginia triggered New York’s delegates - a majority of whom had previously opposed the Constitution - to vote for ratification, 30 to 27 - another “close call.” But now we were a true nation. Warren Burger is chairman of the National Commission on the Bicentennial of the Constitution. Nou< retired, he served as Chief Justice of the U S. Supreme Court from 1969 to 1986.

Onions have arrived By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics The onion is a vegetable that is often taken for granted. Just like milk, eggs and flour, the onion is always on hand ready to complement a variety of foods. In recent years this trend is changing somewhat as the large sweet juicy varieties are achieving new popularity. This new popularity is giving the onion recognition not just as flavoring for other dishes but * as a main ingredient, a vegetable in its own right. Did you know that there are nowonion connoisseurs? These are peo pie who know onions by name and shop for Imperial Sweets from California, Vidalias from Georgia, Walla Wallas from Washington, or Carzalia Sweets from New Mexico. These “gourmet” onions have been developed especially for their specific geographical areas and to take advantage of special climates and soil conditions in producing thinskinned onions that are extremely mild. An average onion provides 20 percent of the US Recommended Dietary- Allowance for vitamin C and has 2.8 grams of dietary fiber. Onions are a source of potassium and also offer some calcium, iron and vitamin A. Onions have no cholesterol or fat. When choosing onions, look for those that are well-cured and have tight, dry necks. Avoid any with blemishes, mold or cuts. Store them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, in a single layer is possible. To chop an onion without letting it “get away” cut it lengthwise in half from root to stem. Peel and place the flat, cut surface down on the cutting board and slice lengthwise several times, leaving about half an inch of the root end in one piece. Then turn your knife so the blade is parallel to the table surface and again make incisions parallel to the half-inch cut of the root end. Fi nally, slice crosswise, beginning at the stem end. The onion will now fall into a dice. Leftover onions should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Onions may be frozen and used later in cooking. Since the texture is affected when frozen they are not suitable to be used raw. To freeze chopped onions, spread out on a cookie sheet, cover and put in the freezer until frozen. Once frozen scrape the onion into an airtight container and return to freezer. Barbecued onions make a homemade relish sauce that is tasty with hot dogs and hamburgers. Barbecued Onions Makes 3 cups 1 cup ketchup 3-4 cup water 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon celery seed 1/4 teaspoon hot red-pepper sauce 3 cups sliced yellow onions In a saucepan, place all ingredients except onions and heat to boiling. Lower heat and cook 4 minutes. Add onions and cook 3 minutes more. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate. EXTRA LOW PRICES!

The onion cheese pie is not the custardy quiche-type. It is shallow, not a deep-dish pie, and is good as a main course, or cut into very slender wedges and offered as a* hors d’oeuvre. Onion Cheese Pie j Serves 6 J 1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shej, homemade or frozen i 2 tablespoons butter or margarine • 2 tablesponns olive oil | 4 cups chopped sweet Spanish onion (about 2 large) J 1/2 teaspoon salt J 1/4 teaspoon pepper j 2 cups grated Swiss cheese I 2 or 3 flat anchovy filets, chopped 2 tablespoons grated Parmesafri cheese \ 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley • This is a shallow pie, so press edge of pastry down into pie platSe before baking, to resemble a pizz4.

Tender baric can easily be damaged, opening the tree to insect and disease problems. Tree wrap can protect the tree somewhat, but line may still cut through it and injure the bark below. •Strawberries picked early in the day keep best. Do not wash or stem berries until ready to use. Store berries in covered containers in the refrigerator. * #To avoid the disappointment of finding a weedy, overgrown garden when you return from vacation, hire a garden sitter. Young neighbors might enjoy making a few dollars by weeding and watering. Adults may be willing to cooperate in exchange for fresh produce. •Birds will generally not be scared away by scarecrows. Instead, try tying pieces of glass, colored cloth, or tin to loose strings so the wind can blow them and clash them together. Random motion is the key to keeping birds away from the gar den. •The problem of insects after dusk on your terrace may be reduced by using red or yellow light bulbs. Insects don’t see these colors as well as others, so they’re not as attracted to the light as they are when white lights are used. •Do not allow children to ride on or operate riding lawn mowers. Such mowers are more dangerous than they appear. Always disengage the mower blades and set the brake before getting off for any reason. Never disable the manufacturer’s safety devices. •Add organic mulch to the vegetable garden when your seedlings are about six inches tall. This will conserve moisture and discourage weeds. Make sure the soil is moist and the area is weed-free before adding mulch. Public hearing set on Rt. 231 plan A public hearing will be conducted by the Virginia Department of Transportation in cooperation with the Department of Conservation and Historic Resources on Wednesday, June 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Madison Extension Center Auditorium, 414 North Main St., Madison. The hearing will consider public comment on the proposed designation of Rt. 231 as a Virginia Byway in accordance with Section 33.162 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. Specifically, the designation should include Rt. 231 from its intersection with Rt. 33 in the town of Gontonsville in Orange County and extend to the intersection with Rt. 211 at Sperryville in Rappahannock County. Representatives of the two agencies will be present for a question and answer session one hour in advanoe of the formal hearing.

The library plans a program on cats to be presented by Holly May and Penny Grant on June '29 at 10 a.m. Two of the films to be shown at 2 p.m. are “Strange Story of the Frog Who Became a Prince” and “Paul Bunyan Lumber Camp Tales. ” “Won’t you come and join us for these interesting programs,” she said.

Technology students win state-wide awards Rappahannock County High School sent students to the state Technology Education Spring Festival and Competition, and they came back winners. Eleven students and teachers Scott Currie and Ron Vickers attended the contest, held in Richmond last month. The students competed in five events, including three team competitions. Once again, Mr. Vickers and Mr. Currie were pleased with the success of Rappahannock's “Tech Bowl” teams. In an event similar to “It’s Academic,” both the Level I and Level II teams scored early victories on the written test, which ranked the teams according to composite scores. The Level I team, including eighth graders Mike Campbell, Jesse Reynolds and Michelle Earley, ranked first in the state after the written portion of the competition, which eliminated all ■fiffeut eight teams from the finals, irijesse earned the second highest individual score state-wide. The team battled through two rounds of the finals before being beaten. They continued to rally in the losers’ bracket, beating Prince William County High School and Stonewall Middle School to claim third place in the state. The Level II team of Brandon Hudsonpillar, Bobby Jenkins and Anna Hudson also ranked first in the state in the written test. Ninth grader Jenkins placed second state-wide with his individual score. However, the team fell in a first round loss to Eastern Mennonite School, which went on to sweep the competition. 0* The “Tech Bowl” participants were honored in a ceremony held at the high school on May 31. Jim Carey, director of the state’s department of Technology Education, presented the students with their awards and reiterated his praise of the students and the high school for their. effort% and continued success at the state competition. ^ CO-OP INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE June 16-25 SAVE ON MERCHANDISE THROUGHOUT THE STORE 3 CUBIC FOOT PINE BARK MULCR $1.98 SPRAT-DOC “300P” 3 GALLON DELUXE POLY SPRAYER f $24.95 FRANKLIN STEEL HEAVY DUTY 6’ STEEL TPOSTS $2.18 ORTHO 5% SEVIN DUST SALE PRICE $1.69 LESS MAIL-IN REBATE -$1.00 SALE PRICE AFTER REBATE .69 FARNAM ZIMECTRIN HORSE WORMER ORTHO HORNET & WASPSPRAT is I SALE $2.39 LESS MAIL-IN REBATE -$1.00 SALE PRICE $1.39 AFTER REBATE s0R!H0 ^ 6 CUBIC FOOT PEATMOSS 12V* GAUGE FORBES AMERICAN BARBED WIRE $28.90 SNAP-CUT #8216 16” HEDGE TRIMMERS $39.95 WATER SOFTENING SALT ‘2FER SPECIALS 50 lb.

Corporate largesse gives RCHS new math program Potomac Edison, the corporate giant that provides much of Rappahannock County with electricity, is also providing students at the county’s elementary school with an opportunity to use the latest in new age technology as a learning aid. Next year, the sixth grade math classes at RCHS will be conducted in the new computer lab on Apple computers provided by the utility company, and at last week’s board meeting, School Board members took seats in front of the screens for an introduction to the computer learning curriculum. “Now I look at my electric bills in a new light,” quipped sixth grade math teacher Lucy Maeyer, who will spend the summer writing programs that will enable youngsters to all work on the same assignment at the same time or follow individualized lessons on the computers. The change in sixth grade math classes was one of two curriculum changes approved by the School Board at its June meeting; the incorporation of Spanish instruction into the fifth grade was also authorized. Superintendent David Gangel said that the language will be taught during “enrichment time” for 20 to 30 minutes three days a week. Children in Chapter I or remedial programs who “need more emphasis on their primary language” are the only fifth graders who will not be involved. According to Dr. Gangel, this is a pilot project and its effectiveness will be assessed at the end of the 1987-88 term. This year’s budget had funds for an after-school Spanish class and that same amount, which was included in the new budget, will cover the cost of the in-school expan Jim Ed Jones Productions Presents: WORLD CLASS LIVE BOXING TYSON=SPINKS nMCEANDTORALJL"^ World Heavyweight Championship Via Closed Circuit from 1 rump Plaza—Atlantic City.

Teachers are now studying curriculum for one section of “developmental kindergarten” for “children who are not as ready as others” to start school. A proposal will be brought back for the V board’s consideration if teachers and administrators decide it would be appropriate to implement, he said. Youngsters in “developmental kindergarten” either progress to first grade at the end of the year or go on to traditional kindergarten. School Board member Nancy Reeve expressed concern about putting all the children who are slower to mature into one class, adding that she didn’t want to see youngsters “tracked” or grouped entirely bj£ ability level. “We have no intention of tracking,” Dr. Gangel replied. “We do the best we can to make sure they’re not tracked.” * Older handicapped students classified as trainable mentally retarded (TMR) have been served at the high school in Madison while younger TMR students have attended classes at Rappahannock’s elementary, school. Dr. Gangel reported several of those younger students are ready to move up but “Madison is unable to take all the children we have, so we’re looking at options there. ” Major changes, most of then* mandated by the state, are also coming in the Chapter I remedial classes, according to the superintend dent. He added that Robert Chap-' pell, the Title I supervisor, will, report on those changes as soon as' they’re completed. While applauding the incorporation of the computer lab and foreign language, Chairman Beverly Massie pointed out that “the more we’re putting into the curriculum, the faster we’re moving to a seven-perkxf day. When are we going to tackl<£ that issue?” * The six-year plan adopted at last week’s meeting in accord with stated requirements calls for the board t<* “say aye or nay to a seven-perio<t school day” at the end of next year.i Dr. Gangel replied. I “If we offer more, we’re going to have to find some more time,” Mrs.Massie said, asking for updates on; curriculum in the coming months, j “I have a strong feeling for? seven,” remarked board member Paul Nichols. Students face a di-i lemma in wanting to take classes inJ addition to the expanding list ofi those required for graduation buf are not able to do so “because there’s not enough time,” he said. The option of a seven-period day,' “from the student’s perspective, ismostly good,” the superintendent agreed. But the staffing and budget impact must also be considered, he added. Under state regulations, “it doesn’t matter if you have 12 periods; in a day, a single teacher can teach only five periods,” Dr. Gangel noted/ Mrs. Massie stressed that budget implications of going to seven periods must be discussed with the Board of Supervisors “before we get! too far in the planning process.” ;

Subdivision (Continued from Page 1) tion for a special exception, Mrs. Doares had also applied for an amendment to the zoning ordinance which would exempt family transfers from density limitations provided “the total family transfers from a parcel lawfully created other than by family transfer shall not exceed three.” By dropping the reference to lots of record as of 1962, enactment of this amendment would allow by right up to three family subdivisions from all parcels in the county except those previously created through the family transfer exemption. “I really don’t want to see our zoning ordinances amended too many times. That’s really important, or we’re going to lose a lot of the things we’ve fought for,” said Robin Purnell, getting a “second” on that position from John Cadwalader. “I want to reiterate my dismay at the fact that we’ve had considerable misuse of the family transfer. . . It’s one of the greatest contributors to parcelization of this county into tiny pieces of land,” said Phil Irwin, calling Mrs. Doares’ request for a special exception “another example of the leaky gasket” in the county’s land use regulations. The adjacent parcel had three two-acre lots approved by right just two months ago, noted Mr. Baumgardner. “If you’re talking about a leaky gasket, the gasket’s already leaked!” he said, contending that the future use of Mrs. Doares’ property had been changed without notice or hearings, in violation of state law, by the authorization of the Kellersons’ three family transfers under Rappahannock’s “five-cut” rule. With the limitation to five divisions, “legal and illegal,” on lots of record as of 1962, the county “arbitrarily slams the hammer down on the density exemption,” the attorney argued. At the commissioners’ unanimous recommendation of denial for Mrs. Doares’ request for a special exception permit to subdivide five acres for her son, Mr. McCarthy advised a similar rejection of her proposed ordinance amendment. Allowing a blanket three divisions from all lots “is not the solution,” he said, adding that Rappahannock’s “five-cut” rule is in compliance with the state code which requires merely “reasonable provision for a single division for transfer to a family nl®¥nber.” 0 Question of “justice and fairness” “I am a native of Rappahannock. My people lived here before the Revolution, before the Civil War, before emancipation. My father, Paul Brown, lived here all his life. He died here. He loved this county,” Mrs. Doares read from a prepared statement. “My son and I want to return to the land of our roots ... My case is not about development. I have no desire to develop this beautiful place. I do, however, have a commitment to fairness and justice. I am denied both.” “I could understand being treated differently from my neighbor if our zoning laws had placed the boundary for different zoning dis-' tricts on the boundary between my neighbor’s property and mine, and there were different lot sizes pro- ! vided for our land,” she told the planning commissioners. “I could understand this if our comprehensive plan treated my property differently from my neighbor’s, or if there was something really different about our properties. “As it turns out, the only difference between my neighbor and me is that my neighbor won the race to Mr. McCarthy’s door. My neighbor was granted three two-acre lots. I am denied one five-acre lot,” she said. “What would have happened if my neighbor and I had walked into Mr. McCarthy’s office at the same . time? Would Mr. McCarthy give the lots to my neighbor because he is white and I am black? Or would he give the lots to me because I am a native of this county and my neighbor is a newcomer? “Or suppose that my neighbor and I had walked into Mr. McCarthy’s office at the same time and we each wanted two lots? If three ‘cuts’ were left, how would he decide who got how many lots?” Mrs. Doares asked. “Would any choice that Mr. McCarthy made be fair? Could there be justice?” She maintained that her nght to transfer a lot to her son had been taken away when her neighbor’s three family transfers were approved. “I am told that before a right under a zoning law can be taken away, there must be a hearing. I an told that there must be a notice and that the people have to be given the chance to be heard. “I had no notice. I had no hearing.” Noting that the Constitution calls the right to notice and hearing “due process of law,” she said her first response to being stripped of that right was to ask her attorney to file a lawsuit. But in accord with Mr. Baumgardner’s advice, Mrs. Doares told the planning commissioners, she instead submitted an amendment to the zoning law “so that you would have a starting point for the purpose of discussing changes. I am told that many of you feel that this amendment is too broad and would open up the county to unwanted growth and development.” “Fine," Mrs. Doares continued. “I an hereby withdrawing my amendment and call on you to pass an amendment of your own that will a^omrtisb. your goals and treat me arid others fairly. I trust and hope that any amendment passed by you will correct the injustice that I have suffered,” she concluded. ‘This is a question of fairness and constitutionality,” Mr. Baumgardner added. “We leave it in your hands." And with that, Mrs. Doares and her attorney left the meeting. A starting point For a moment, there was silence. “Well, there certainly can’t be any amendment drawn here tonight,” remarked Commissioner David Fannon. “Whatever you come up with is going to have to be readvertised,” said Mr. McCarthy, interpreting Mrs. Doares’ position as “consider an amendment to redress this problem or face a lawsuit. ” But he emphasized that racial issues do not enter into the problem. “It’s the property that's getting looked at. I don’t care if the property owner is black or white or sky blue or pea green. It's the land that counts.” As to the “five cut” ceiling on parcels of record as of 1962, “the first plat that hits my desk is the one that gets the decision,” the zoning administrator explained. “But is that fair?” asked Commissioner Bob Anderson. Time restraints often play a role in land use issues, Mr. McCarthy countered. He pointed out that the state code requires allowance for just a single division under its family transfer mandate while Rappahannock permits five. (Under Rappahannock’s limitations, however, the “five cut” rule includes all divisions from parcels of record as of 1962, and so that ceiling could be reached before a single family transfer is made.) “But is that fair?” repeated Mr. Anderson. “We’d be better off if we allowed only one,” Commissioner Fannon maintained. But citizens would oppose that restriction, Mr. McCarthy responded. Returning to Mrs. Doares’ case, he said, “The question of due process is the main issue raised tonight.” However, he challenged the contention that due process is a right as it relates to Rappahannock’s family transfer provision. “The only right in an agricultural zone is one dwelling unit per 25 acres . . . How they do that is up to the property owner.” A way out? “I hear them saying, ‘We withdraw the amendment. Now you find us a way out of this’,” noted Commissioner Fannon. Presenting his draft proposal as an alternative, Mr. McCarthy said it would eliminate the perception that there’s a race to his office for approval of family transfers and reduce the possibility that the option of dividing a family lot could be taken away without knowledge by another landowner (whose property was part of the same parcel in 1962). As to whether the amendment will help Mrs. Doares, “we’ll have to get a legal opinion,” he added. The limitation to one family transfer per parcel in a calendar year and the requirement for notice to other affected landowners of such transfer will be advertised for public hearing at the Planning Commission’s July meeting. Also at last Wednesday’s session, the planners recommended: • Changing the term of an agricultural and forestal district from eight to 10 years and increasing the minimum lot size for subdivisions in such districts from 26 to 50 acres. • Recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant a special use permit to Jerry and Mary Beth Martin to operate a one-bedroom bed-and-breakfast in their residence on the Fodderstack Road. • Recommended issuance of a special use permit to Richard Simmons for a small engine repair business as a “cottage industry” in an existing accessory building on a 1.5acre lot on Route 638. Notes from the Extension office By JACK DUNFORD Extension Agent. Farm Management Gypsy Moth soon finished This year’s defoliation by the Gypsy Moth will be finished soon. After the troublesome larval stage completes its development in late June to early July, they will attach themselves to a surface with strands of silk and pupate. After a two-week pupation period, the adult moths will emerge, the males will fly in zigzag patterns looking for females who cannot fly and soon after mating the female will lay her eggs in a single mass. These egg masses can be easily observed from July until next spring when the larvae emerge and begin eating leaves next summer. Most of the egg masses will be laid on the trees - especially in protected areas such as bark flaps, crevices and holes. Egg masses also can be found on the ground. The density of egg masses in your yard or in a timber stand is a good indicator of the level of infestation you will experience next spring. In the field, little can be done to destroy the egg masses. The best time in the life cycle to kill the pest is just after they emerge from the egg masses next April and early May. Several products are available that will control Gypsy Moth larvae if they are applied while the larvae are small. Beef Cattle Mineral Supplementation When cattle are out on pasture in the hot, humid summer months it is critical that minerals be provided to insure an adequate mineral balance in their diets. A Virginia Tech mineral mix formula that works very well for all classes of beef cattle is a mix containing 1/3 trace mineral salt, 1/3 dicalcium phosphate and 1/3 feed grate limestone. If you are concerned about a possible selenium deficiency (which is widespread in Virginia) you can alter the mineral mix as follows: 30 percent of each of the above mentioned ingredients plus 10 percent of a 0.6 percent selenium premix. This mix will meet the selenium requirement of beef cattle as well as their other mineral requirements. Be sure to mix these ingredients thoroughly before offering them . to the cattle. Agri-Tech Week Many livestock and crop pro ducers will be converging at Virginia Tech July 7 and 8, to reunite with old friends and to see and hear about advances in agricultural research. Most Rappahannock beef cattle and sheep producers will be most interested in visiting the Virginia Tech campus Friday, July 8, to participate in Animal Industry Day. Contact the Extension Office (675-3619) for schedules or refer to your commodity newspapers and magazines for more detailed information. Grain and Feeder Prices The drought in the Mid-West is having a dramatic impact on com, soybean and cattle prices. As feed prices go up in the future, market feeder cattle prices are coming down. Some local cattle producers may be interested in forward pricing their feeder cattle with the Virginia Livestock Pricing Institute. The farmer pays a “premium” up front and sets a floor price for delivery at a state-graded sale of his/her choice in the fall. If cash prices are lower than the established floor price, the Institute makes up the difference. If prices go higher than the floor, the farmer enjoys the difference. Fauquier offers summer camps There is still time to sign up for the best summer fun yet at day camps sponsored by the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department at six sites in the county during July. “Lots of new activities are planned,” says Pat Alton, Life Enhancement Coordinator for the department. “We have just received word from the Virginia Commission t for the Arts that we have been awarded a grant to offer a Drama Touring Workshop instructed by the illustrious DeJuanna Archer.” The program will feature Ms. Archer’s innovative methods of instructing drama through the use of improvisation, role playing, mime and more. Ms. Archer will visit each campsite on a regular basis. “We will also be offering adventure. programs through a new system we have just received from Abris of Wisconsin,” says Ms. Alton. This resource will give leaders new ideas on physical, emotional and social development for the campers, through adventure activities presented in a non-competitive way. Along with these new programs the traditional activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, field trips, sports and games will be offered, to make this the best deal in town for summer fun, Ms. Alton added. For more information phone the department Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., at (703) 3491910. k.

Scott (Continued from Page 1) trator John McCarthy vouched for “the more elaborate effort” Rev. Scott put forth toward assuring adequate septic fields on the two new lots. Mr. McCarthy explained that the right-of-way dedication is necessary because Piedmont Ave. is one of the roads created by the Byrd Act, under which the state acquired proscriptive easements but not ownership of the land on which the road was built. Actually, Rev. Scott owns the land to the road’s center line, as does the property owner across the road, he said. The town’s subdivision ordinance, he said, requires a 50-foot right-of-way, and Piedmont Ave. has only 30 feet. Under the ordinance, Mayor Dean Morehouse told Rev. Scott, the plat requires the dedication of an extra 10-foot strip to provide his share of the 50-foot right-of-way. “We are caught between the changes in the zoning ordinance (enacted in August 1986) and the subdivision ordinance, which was written in 1981 . . . We don’t have the latitude to change the law — this is the way it is. Whoever comes before us has to deal with this law.” After receiving assurances that the septic capacity is adequate for the planned development, that the properties meet the ordinance’s setback requirements, that Rev. Scott would post the bond for curbs and gutters, and that fire protection through nearby hydrants is available, the council approved Rev. Scott’s request. Mr. Morehouse seconded Mr. Wickens’ suggestion that Rev. Scott not put in the curbs and gutters immediately, but wait until the subdivision ordinance is revised. At that time, he said, a new plat could be submitted for recordation which vacates the 10-foot dedication to the town, which would the deed the strip back to the property-owner. If the language requiring the improvements is struck, he said, the performance bond would also be lifted. Another blast for Centel Mr. Wickens also announced last week that he would like to introduce legislation to change the town’s telephone service from Centel to C & P Telephone, which serves most of the county. The service is “deplorable,” he said, “frequently enough that it is below the minimum acceptable standard I have experienced in other places across the country — and indeed in the Third World.” Mr. Wickens read from a recent Wall Street Journal article which announced that Centel plans to spend $775 million for the purchase of a cellular telephone pajj^ng company. “They are diverting money from their telephone operations,” the councilman said. “In my view they are shortchanging the people who are their regular, everyday customers with poor service, long distance connections and repair ... I don’t think people have to put up with service like this.” He pointed out that his motion would extend only to service within the town, and not to Centel’s service outside the town's limits. Diane Bruce, the county’s cleric and a long-time resident of the town, replied, “You think it’s bad now — you should have seen it before. We finally got the State Corporation Commission involved and the company put another access line in.” The complaint, she said, was based on the need of the town’s residents for immediate access to fire and rescue services. “One of the problems,” she added, “is that there’s no profit in residential telephone service. Nobody wants us.” “That’s the bottom line,” Mayor Morehouse agreed. Fran Eldned pointed out the limited local dialing area, which means that customers in the town must pay a toll charge to reach every nearby town, unlike C & P customers elsewhere in the county. Centel offers such a service, Mrs. Eldred said, “for a slight additional charge.” People, she stated, “are not willing to pay for something which they should get for free.” In other words, Treasurer Brad Fisher added, “For a basic price you can get a car that doesn’t work, or for a little more you can get one that runs.” Ms. Bruce pointed out that the previous Town Council had signed a 25-year franchise agreement with Centel. And, she added, it required only a $1,000 franchise bond, while any competing company would have to post a $50,000 bond. “We tried to get the renewal only if they would bury the lines; we tried to get the franchise year-to-year — bit the council signed (the agreement),” Ms. Bruce said. The town is in a "unique situation,” Mr. Wickens continued. “Our phone company is interested more in getting into other businesses than in telephone service — and our electric company is the only one which has corporate offices which are not within its service area, and not a single director lives within the service area.” Mayor Morehouse found agreement to his suggestion that a list of grievances be made and a meeting requested with Centers representatives. Water project progresses Mr. Fisher reported that applications have been filed with the Farmers Home Administration for a Community Facilities Loan, as well as a grant to help fund the renovation of the town’s waffer system. He said that the FmHA money could be approved by fall. An additional state grant, funded through the Virginia Community Development Block Grant program, will not be approved until March 1989, he added. Mayor Morehouse said the plan is to attempt to do the $1.1 million project with 80 percent state and federal grants and 20 percent long-term obligations to the town. Without the grants, "he said, the project would not be possible. Mr. Fisher suggested that an average charge of between $13 and $15.50 for water service would cover the costs of the project, which he estimated at approximately $16,000 per year over the life of the note: between 30 and 40 years. He added that the town will see a sharp decrease in the amount of money spent on maintenance of the system, but that the operating costs would inevitably increase. Some of that, he said, will be due to the state and federal requirements for municipal water systems. “The better work we do on our grant applications,” Mayor Morehouse concluded, “the better chance we have for the scarce grant money » available.” Ms. Bruce suggested that the town has several local resources which might be able to help with that process, including the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, which oversees the Sperryville sewerage treatment plant, and the staff of Planning District ?s Culpeper office, which has overseen and assisted the grant process for water and sewer projects in Gordonsville, Madison and Orange. And, she added, there is at least one county resident with experience in the field who would be willing to help — to do the legwork which is so time-consuming. In other business, the council: • Was told by Mr. Fisher that leaks from the water system are still averaging between 100,000 and 200,000 gallons per month. • Heard from Mayor Morehouse that, because of insurance liability and concerns about fire hazards, the Washington Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary will move its thrift store from the town hall building to another location. Mr. Morehouse said that the fire department will “get back to us” about the specific arrangements. • Heard that insurance quotes for liability and property insurance on the town’s properties are still pending. Mayor Morehouse asked Mr. Fisher to get quotes on one-day cov erage for the Fourth of July celebration, which would cover property and liability in the town and on the grounds of Avon Hall, where the traditional entertainment and fireworks display will again be held during the evening. • Approved a resolution which would limit the council’s business to the agenda published in the previous week’s Rappahannock News. Tfye rule could be suspended by a “supermajority” of five affirmative votes m the case of unexpected, important business. !l “I object to coming into a meeting on Wednesday night,” Councilman Ray Gooch said, “and finding an item of real substance without seeing it beforehand. It’s not fair &> the town’s citizens for me to abstaih or to vote from ignorance — those are the only two choices.” • Approved a special use permit application from Rayner V. and Lois Snead for a power pole in a new location on their property on Mt. Salerti Ave. The pole will replace one takep down to build a new driveway. • Set a joint public hearing with the Planning Commission in July to discuss amendments to the zoning and historic district ordinances, including one which would clearly define repainting a house as a substantive alteration, and another which would define more clearly government offices and prohibit their location outside the village service district, which surrounds the courthouse. The motion was approved over the objection of Councilman Peter Skowronski, who suggested that the public have “two cracks” at comments on the amendments. "I want to give them every chance... to tell us what they think.” Fourth (Continued from Page 1) Washington Business Council area planning a celebration “bigger and better than ever,” according to Jim Thomasson, one of the organizers. And, he added, Mr. Carrigan has once again graciously offered the use of the grounds of his home, Avon Hall, on which the evening’s entertainment and fireworks display has always been held. That celebration will again cap the day’s festival, Mr. Thomasson said. About 6:15 p.m., the town’s churchbells will ring, summoning people to the lawn, where they will find games for children, entertainers and a facepainter circulating throughout the crowd,and performances from a stage on the hill. The music will be provided by a variety of talent, including Rappahanock County’s own Trapezoid, known for their eclectic blend of traditional and avante-garde styles. Other music scheduled during the three-hour program will be both patriotic and religious, and at least one country dance group will perform as well. During the day, the fire department plans plenty of entertainment for the entire family, beginning about 10 a.m. Chief Roger Roach said that about 50 crafters have signed up for the festival, and their booths will stretch from one end of Gay St. to the other. “There are crafters of every description,” he said, noting that the department has tried hard to avoid duplication in the displays.

Helicopter flights began June 21 in and around Luray, and then patrols will be conducted in the Winchester area, weather permitting. Crews will be looking for overgrown vegetation under and around subtransmission and extra high voltage power lines. During summer storms, overgrown trees could fall onto electrical lines and cause power outages. With these inspections, Potomac Edison can pinpoint areas near transmission lines that need trimming, to help ensure reliable service.
