After 27 years as the one-man dynamo behind the yearly patriotic festival of entertainment and fireworks, William Carrigan turned over the reins to a coalition of town volunteers. Although the novice organizers admitted to a few snags in the planning, they promised to learn from the mistakes and return next year. “We’ve got an energetic group of people, with a lot of good ideas,” said Jim Thomasson, who served as “field marshal” during the evening program. Washington Fire Chief Roger Roach, who coordinated the daytime activities, agreed. Citing communication among the different groups as the biggest problem, he pronounced the lesson learned and said the difficulty would be remedied next year. But you couldn’t have told any of the estimated 5,000 people who gathered in the evening’s twilight on the lawn of Avon Hall that there were any problems. Judging from the acceptance given The Singing Word, the Arabian horse company, country dancers, and Trapezoid, the entertainment program which led up to the fireworks display went off without a hitch. And, of course, the fireworks display was punctuated by the “Oohs!” and “Aahs!” of children young and old as the pyrotechnics lit up the skies over Washington to a symphonic accompaniment — another new wrinkle this year. The baton is passed Although Mr. Carrigan said last year that 1987 was his last year as sponsor of the evening’s entertainment, he agreed to serve as advisor to the committee which took over the event. Volunteers from the Washington Business Council, the Town Council, the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community coordinated the program this year. “You are welcome here,” Mr. Carrigan told the crowd which filled his lawn, many of whom took him up on his invitation to bring picnic dinners and eat while enjoying the entertainment. “You have been welcome here for 26 years.” “As John Adams said,” Mr. Carrigan continued, “ ‘You are the people.’ That’s what the founders were talking about in Philadelphia 212 years ago. The Continental Congress had in mind not their time, but our time. They had all the people of the world in mind — those who would come here to the world’s first free country.” It has been their wish, and ours, Mr. Carrigan said, “for all generations of families who come to this country to raise their children. We wish them the same kind of inheritance we have received from the Founding Fathers.” Mr. Carrigan talked about Clyde Baggarly, the lawyer and judge who moved Avon Hall from its original site on Gay St. to its present place on the hill above Avon Pond. “He made a very significant contribution to this town.” Through his ownership of Avon Hall, Mr. Carrigan said, “Ramona and I have carried out Clyde Baggarly’s stewardship. We hope that we have performed some small service. We are sensitive to our responsibility, to take good care of this small piece of the Earth, to improve it if we can, and to pass it See FOURTH, p. 14 —i i .,,i,ny Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE ROCKETS’ RED GLARE light the skies above Washington in this image created by photographer Cindy Mahan. She used an overlay of two negatives to create the effect of ground and aerial bursts in the same frame. Deed restriction ensures celebration will live on In his farewell address to the crowd during Monday evening’s Independence Day celebration, William Carrigan spoke of his boyhood memories of July Fourth in Iowa, when he and his brothers rode on horseback into town to participate in the festivities, including footraces, ball games and a greased pole climb. As a grown man, Mr. Carrigan has made sure that his friends and neighbors do not want for an Independence Day celebration. First, he invited his friends to his Chesapeake Bay home, where he and his wife Ramona entertained and capped the evening with a fireworks dis play over the Bay. When he moved to Rappahannock, he continued that practice. He quickly found he couldn’t limit the invitation when traffic stopped on the roads around Avon Hall as the local residents watched his first fireworks display on July 4, 1961. Twenty-seven years later, July 4, 1988, Mr. Carrigan expressed the hope that the traditional celebration of America’s independence would continue. He spoke of “an official document, where the Carrigans will keep the lake and lawn area free so that the community can eryoy this show each Fourth of July.” On Tuesday morning, Mr. Carrigan’s wish became a reality. He and his wife signed an agreement with the Town of Washinton which will allow the town, through its committee, to hold its annual Independence Day celebration on the lawn of Avon Hall in future years. The agreement, which takes the form of a covenant attached to the deed for the Avon Hall property, absolves the Carrigans (and future owners) of any liability resulting from the event, also makes the town responsible for cleanup and repair of any damage. It will be binding on all future owners of Avon Hall, as well. Mayor Dean Morehouse had nothing but praise for Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan for the contribution they have made over the years, and for the spirit of patriotism and pride their idea has engendered in the Rappahannock community. “Planning this year’s celebration took a lot of time, energy and effort. For Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan to have done this for 26 straight years - it’s pretty impressive. They are real patriots, with a lot of spirit and feeling for this community,, and for America.” Development pressures continue Time gained for changes in family subdivision rules Last month, Joan Brown Doares withdrew her proposal for a subdivision ordinance amendment to correct what she perceives as an intrinsic lack of fairness in administration of the county’s family subdivision ordinance exemption. And at that June meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission, Mrs. Doares called on the commissioners to “pass an amendment of your own that will accomplish your goals and treat me and others fairly,” and she expressed confidence that any amendment endorsed by the advisory body “will correct the injustice that I have suffered.” Voicing a similar optimism at Tuesday’s session of the Board of Supervisors, attorney Douglas Baumgardner requested that his client’s application for a special exception permit, scheduled for public hearing that night, be held over for 60 days “so the county can give proper consideration to whatever course it wants to pursue.” Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance provides for the transfer of land to immediate family members and exempts such transfers from density restrictions, allowing lots as small as two acres contingent upon the Health Department’s issuance of a septic permit. However, the “parent” parcel must have been a lot of record as of See DOARES, p. 14 One acre lot size proposed in overlay settlement zone “We owe it to everybody to take a long, hard look at this thing,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey as the supervisors on Tuesday unanimously directed County Administrator John McCarthy to put in draft form his ideas for a zoning ordinance amendment to create a settlement overlay zone with a one-acre minimum lot size for family subdivisions. The impetus came from Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Atkins’ proposal to subdivide a one-acre lot for a daughter from their 2.1acre parcel on the Fodderstack Road. Maintaining that the property is not a good candidate for rezoning to village residential (with a minimum lot size of one acre), Mr. McCarthy proposed creation of a new settlement zone. This overlay zone, which would supercede general regulations, could encompass pockets of higher density development where family members and relatives have constructed residences in close proximity to each other, he explained. The difference in regulations between this new overlay zone and the surrounding agriculturally-zoned land would be that minimum lot size for family transfers would be one acre instead of two acres, he said. The overlay zone would basically recognize an existing situation and since it See OVERLAY, p. 14

Not present was Julie Anne Marksberry. Asking questions first saves headaches Recent complaints against home improvement contractors in Rappahannock County have left Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke cautioning residents about doing business with questionable firms. Mr. Luke advised that caution should be the watchword in dealing with any door-to-door salesmen; particularly those who offer unsolicited deals which sound like real bargains. An old rule of thumb, Mr. Luke said, is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Mr. Luke and the Virginia Office of Consumer Services offered some guidelines for residents in dealing with home improvement contractors and others offering unsolicited services: • Never make a deal “on the spot.” Request references and tell the company’s representative that you will contact him when you’ve made a decision. If he pressures you, ask him to leave. If possible, get the firm’s name, the representative’s name, and the license number of the vehicle. Complaints may be made to the Commonwealth Attorney’s office (675-3318) or the Office of Consumer Affairs (toll free, 800-552-9963.) • Beware of people who offer spe cial deals with “leftover” materials, or on the condition that the work be done right away. It’s often shoddy or misrepresented. • Shop around for a reputable firm. Most contractors, like all businesses, are honest and do a good job. Unfortunately, a few unscrupulous people give all a bad reputation. Ask your neighbors who have had remodeling done whom they would recommend. •Get at least three estimates for any major project. Make sure that the estimates are made on identical descriptions of work and materials. • Before making a decision, contact the State Board of Contractors to make sure that the firm under consideration is licensed by the state to do the work planned. •Ask the contractor for references and recommendations. Also ask if the firm is covered by liability and workman’s compensation insurance —this will protect you from liability from any accident which occurs on the project. •Get a written contract. It should include a complete description of the work to be done, total cost of the project, and a payment schedule.

This should be agreed upon by both parties and included in the contract. •Make sure that the contract is completely filled in, with no blank spaces. You don’t want extras added after the price has been negotiated. Also, beware of lien sales contracts which allow the contractor to foreclose on your home if payments are not made — even if it’s because the work is not satisfactorily completed. Above all, have a clear idea of what you want before beginning your search for a contractor. And never make payment in full until the work is completed and the agreed-upon clean-up is finished. If applicable, have the county’s building inspector check the job before payment is made. Real estate transactions The following real estate transfers were recorded during the past week: Glenn L.

Curriculum includes state-of-the-art CAD program First came the duplication of Nobel prize-winning research on superconductors by the Rappahannock County High School physics class. Then Superintendent David Gangel won the School Board’s endorsement for curriculum expansion to include mathematics on computers for sixth graders in the new computer lab equipped by Potomac Edison, the introduction of Spanish classes in the fifth grade, and an interdisciplinary summer enrichment “camp” focusing on the Blue Ridge Mountains. And strengthening the county’s claim to the leadership post among Virginia’s rural school divisions, RCHS now has a computer-assisted drafting program known as autoCAD. “This is 21st century,” said technology education teacher Scott Currie, as rising senior Anna Hudson demonstrated at last month’s School Board meeting how autoCAD produces detailed, professional-looking schematics and plans. Mr. Currie noted that RCHS is one of the few single-A schools in the State to provide the sophisticated send expensive CAD program. Its use will give students an employable skill, he said, adding that most “want ads” for drafting specify autoCAD experience. “And better yet, it’s a skill that might be expanded on later in college or technical school.” He added that the technology education department hopes to get a plotter, “an output device that essentially moves the ink pen around,” tq print work done with auto-CAD. Currently, a regular printer is being used, and while it’s passable, the wavy dot matrix lines are far less precise that what would be possible with the plotter, he explained. But due to its cost — somewhere around $3,500 — purchase of the plotter must await a major fund raising effort or the appearance of a generous benefactor willing to donate the purchase price, Mr. Currie said. Mr. Currie, RCHS teacher Ron Vickers, and student Anna Hudson recently completed an adult education class on auto-CAD offered by Northern Virginia Community College at Fauquier High School. The two men ackowledged that Miss Hudson probably learned the most from that class and will gain even more ^experience in computer-assisted drafting in the special busi Rappahannock News photo/Daphne Hutchinson SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND administrators get a sneak preview of the new ComputerAided Design (CAD) system at the high school. Senior Anna Hudson demonstrates as (from left) Robert Chappell, Scott Currie, John Toth, Beverly Massie, Dr. David Gangel, Nancy Reeve, Sharon Kilpatrick (partially obscured), Bryant Lee and Ron Vickers watch. ness camp for gifted and talented students which she will attend this summer at Virginia Tech. “We’re only just beginning to see all that can be done with the CAD,” Mr. Currie told the School Board. But the effort is justified, Mr. Vickers added, “because engineers of the future won’t be drawing a whole lot — they’ll be pushing a puck around!” In the way of innovation, there’s more than the new auto-CAD to report on from RCHS. “Business education programs are overflowing with students,” Mr. Currie reported. “That’s a good sign.” And there’s quality in that quantity, judging from the performance of RCHS students in recent competition. In the Northern Regional semifinals of the Technical Bowl, competing against students from much bigger schools in Fairfax and Prince William counties and the City of Winchester, Anna Hudson placed third in drawing interpretation. Then in the state finals for Level I, again in competition with students from Triple A school divisions, RCHS eighth grader Jesse Reynolds scored second highest in the state on the Technical Bowl’s written exam. Jesse, Mike Campbell, and Michael Early, as an eighth grade team, placed third overall, while Bobby Jenkins posted the second highest individual score in the Technical Bowl’s Level II, and RCHS’s Level II team of Anna Hudson, Bobby Jenkins, and Brandon Hudsonpillar was first statewide in composite score. Next year, RCHS hopes to be host for the northern region’s Technical Bowl fair with 15 schools competing in as many as 30 contests, Mr. Currie noted. When students return to the enlarged and renovated high school this fall, those taking drafting classes will be in a a new classroom at new drafting tables using new drafting arms, he reported. With enrollment increasing, “we hope to have two sections of drafting.” Mr. Currie added that Virginia Power has donated a blueprint machine to the high school for use in the business education program. “It’s a very definite plus to have people like that looking out for us.” Future Homemakers of America is likewise “alive and well” at RCHS, he continued, reporting that the RCHS club under teacher Betty Wood recently was awarded an honorable mention in statewide FHA competition. And in an innovative experimental program, students in technical education and home economics switched classes for six weeks. “There’s quite a push for the future,” Mr. Currie concluded. Possible illegal subdivision will be investigated The Board of Supervisors is asking Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke to investigate an old land transaction for evidence of illegal circumvention of the county’s land use laws. Attorney Frank Reynolds reported on Tuesday that he had been asked to research the subdivision of 10 small lots in the four to six-acre range which are located on Route 649 near Castleton. According to Mr. Reynolds, the previous owner, Arley Estes, got the land through a partition suit in the late 1960s. Both judge and commissioners had determined that the 44-acre parcel couldn’t be subdivided into enough lots to satisfy the 12 or so parties involved, so when two private interests offered to buy the land as a 12-acre piece on one side of Route 649 and a 32-acre piece on the other, the court accepted the offer and issued a sale order, identifying the two parcels by a description of their outside boundaries, Mr. Reynolds told the supervisors. The order also mentioned a survey but that document was not attached to the deed, he added. No plat was ever recorded, but 4T*-' is having a | 35% off onKIRSCH Mini Blinds Duette Shades Vertical Blinds Custom colors & sizes : 220 South Loudoun St Winchester, Va. <703) 667-0574 Shop At Home Service Call for appointment or visit our showroom. Mon.-Fri. 9-5 Sat 10-4 somehow the 32 acres “showed up on the landbooks (in the Commissioner of Revenue’s office) as nine or ten lots,” Mr. Reynolds said. Now the lots have been sold by separate deeds to William Springer; the deeds carry the notation that the metes and bounds of the lots are shown on the plat of the survey, according to Mr. Reynolds. ‘They’re very carefully not saying that the court partitioned the land into lots, but they’re inferring that.” His clients are asking the county to determine if a de facto subdivision has been illegally accomplished in violation of the county’s zoning and subdivision laws or if the court actually decreed that the land be subdivided, the attorney explained. “Whether we can prove misdeeds or not, I don’t know.” “Who do you represent?” asked Supervisor Ellis Bingham. “Several Rappahannock County landowners,” Mr. Reynolds replied. “Then as I see it, you’re asking us to do your work.” “No sir, I’m asking the county to do its own work,” the attorney maintained. “It’s the county’s duty to see that its own zoning ordinance is upheld.” County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors that he had already looked into the matter after Clerk Diane Bruce noticed the unusual description of the lots when the deeds were recorded in her office following their recent sale. The lots have been taxed separately since 1969, he said, describing the issue as “what did the judge’s order mandate?” Since the buyer, William Springer, is a personal friend, Mr. McCarthy said he’d disqualified himself from trying to resolve the issue and “turned the whole thing over” to Mr. Luke, who also serves as county attorney. “I left it in his court entirely . . . I’ve yet to get a response from him.” Mr. Reynolds noted that he’d found no order from the judge for a survey of the 42 acres involved in the 1968 partition suit. “The survey and someone interested in buying Wheel Horse INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE A A MODEL 257-H Other Wheel Horse Models Comparably Reduced HU- iuuis Tach-A-Matic" Hitch System Louvered Hood M»N-DUm , Headlights Embossed Chrome Hubcaps Eaton 7/Poerlen 1300 Hydrostatic Transaxle I High-Back, I C'ip-Up Seat 1 17-HP Overhead-Valve — Kawasaki Engine Over-Sized 22 i 9.00 Raar Turf Tires w Attachment Lilt 37" or 42" Side ft 42" Rear Mowing Decks (optional) No Payments or Interest Until October 1,1988 On Any Wheel Horse New or Used With Wheel Horse Power Financing Plan SWAN’S J.A.

But if the plat for the subdivided lots was not recorded in the Clerk’s Office, See SUBDIVISION, p. 14 South Wales tabled Counsel tells Culpeper board he can find no basis for denial ofpermit By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The Culpeper Board of Supervisors tabled the revised South Wales Inc. development plan for 30 days July 5 after their attorney told them he was “unable to conclude that you have any sound basis for denial.” The attorney, Roger Wiley of Charlottesville, outlined his argument that the litany of objections raised by citizens was not relevant to a subdivision request. He said their complaints about the impact on the nearby agricultural district, on tax rates, the density and other probable effects of the development could not be defended effectively in court. A lawsuit is pending in Culpeper Circuit Court over the supervisors’ vote to deny the first plan, a 379-lot proposal. South Wales Inc. officials have stated they want to build a 2,500-home, golf course community on their 2,519-acre tract eight miles from Warrenton at the intersection of Routes 211 and 229 on the Rappahannock River. The developers have the “byright” zoning for the 343 houses they plan to build on the 679-acre parcel in the first phase of the project. The Culpeper Planning Commission, which voted to recommend the first proposal be turned down, has endorsed the second plan. Therefore the role of the Board of Supervisors in Tuesday’s hearing was “ministerial,” argued Mr. Wiley: they were simply to assure that the plan abided by the subdivision ordinance, which he said he thinks it does. Many of the objections raised by Culpeper and Fauquier citizens against the subdivision echoed comments made at the previous three Culpeper County government hearings at which South Wales has been considered. In fact, many of the same people made them. Warrenton resident Scott Carter, speaking for the Rappahannock River Scenic River Advisory" Board, blasied Ihe developers for exaggerating by 440 percent at previous meetings the average low flow of the river. He contends that the low flow, which the developers have stated is 1.2 million gallons a day, is in fact about 330,000 gallons daily, measured at a gauging station just upstream from the proposed development. “If they want those rates from the Rappahannock River, they’ll have to add structures [such as a dam or holding lakes |,” said Mr. Carter. Because the Rappahannock is protected by its General Assembly-granted scenic river status, such structures are prohibited without prior approval by the General Assembly. Mr. Carter said the river would be two-thirds effluent and one-third river water during the hot summer months. He asked the Board of Supervisors if they thought anyone would drink that water, “two-thirds of which has gone through somebody’s kidneys.” “God did not put the river here as a ditch to transport someone's sewer plant water,” he added. The supervisors voted unanimously to table the subdivison issue after defeating by a 4-3 vote Supervisor Ruth Updike’s motion to send the plan back to the Planning Commission for further impact review. Her motion failed, according to statements made by two of the supervisors who voted against it, because they agreed with Mr. Wiley’s assessment that rejecting the plan was illegal. Mr. W’iley argues that the plan meets the requirements of Culpeper’s subdivision ordinance. Several people in the audience shouted their objections to Mr. Wiley’s argument* Mr. Wiley, however, was calm as he told the supervisors that, although he was confident they will win the pending lawsuit if it comes to trial, his “best legal judgment” was that turning down the new proposal had no rational basis under Culpeper law. He said that w hen he was retained by the county (following the resignation of county attorney John Bennett over Culpeper’s controversial pornography ordinance), he searched for a legal basis on which to reject the subdivision but was unable to find it. During the July 5 hearing South Wales Inc. officials were silent. Their only comments came in the .form of a brief statement by their attorney, Jerry Emrick. Culpeper and Fauquier residdrtts were not ’SHeftt, niMfcWifr. and took about 90 minutes .to voice their opposition. The partisan crowd usually applauded loudly whenever an anti-development speaker was finished. To accommodate complaints from farmers on the other side of Route 621 from South Wales, the developers have offered to donate a school site, a fire and rescue station site and a small park. The supervisors voted to table the subdivision plan to study Mr. Wiley's statements and to obtain a groundwater study of the area. NOTICE ALL DOG OWNERS RABIES VACCINATION CLINIC Dr. P.M.

THURSDAY, JULY 7,1988 Editorial A true patriot That’s William Carrigan, pictured below with Uncle Sam. What more appropriate scene to capture the character of Mr. Carrigan—standing on the lawn of his home on July Fourth, joined by the personification of America and the entertainers he had invited. On behalf of his wife Ramona, Mr. Carrigan said farewell Monday during the Independence Day celebration which he had sponsored for 26 years. “We’re getting old,” he said, “and it’s time to pass the torch.” And pass it he did, in the true spirit of America. The Carrigans have added a covenant to the Avon Hall deed which will allow the town to use the grounds of the property for its celebration in future years. In a time when owners of valuable properties are more likely to be found consulting lawyers about ways to get around restrictions, the Carrigans’ action is doubly remarkable. They have thought first of the good of the community, of the spirit of patriotism in which they so strongly believe, and second of their own material gain. Two weeks ago, this newspaper spoke out against the developers who seem so eager to despoil the countryside for their own personal, material gain. We’re happy to have the opportunity to recognize two individuals, William and Ramona Carrigan, who have made an immense contribution toward the preservation of our heritage. Anyone who has spent time with Mr. Carrigan has heard him speak of patriotism, of what the heritage of this country means to him. He speaks too of the heritage of Rappahannock County, and of Washington, V a., and the pride which he and his wife take in being a part of it. And, with his generous gift to the people of Rappahannock by ensuring a place for our annual Independence Day celebration, Mr. Carrigan has also ensured that his patriotic spirit will be remembered. To him, the cookouts and fireworks mean nothing unless we remember the event we mark each year — the founding of our democracy. He related the question asked of Benjamin Franklin when the deliberations of the Continental Congress were completed: “What have we, Ben?” Franklin answered, “A Republic — if we can keep it.” For 212 sometimes stormy years, we have kept the Republic. But Franklin’s admonition, “If we can keep it,” looms as large as it did that July day in Philadelphia. William and Ramona Carrigan have guided the establishment of a tradition in Rappahannock County. They have handed the torch to the next generation — it is up to us to carry on the tradition. And, for their part, they have our thanks for their stewardship, and the certain knowledge that they have indeed, in Mr. Carrigan’s words, “taken good care, and passed it on to the next generation a little better than we found it.” Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Letter to the editor ‘Yes’ vote will return horse industry to Virginia or,. To the editor. With wisdom and foresight our state legislators, by a fair majority, passed a state-wide referendum on horse racing. This has been approved by Gov. Gerald L. Baliles and the opportunity to choose will be on your voting ballot on Nov. 8. The vote will allow localities, in turn, to each decide whether to allow or not to allow a track. Please give this your best consideration and vote yes for horse racing. « Racing has been endorses by the Virginia Horse Council which represents horse owners and 25 breed, show and sport organizations in all areas of the state. Most horse owners are average citizens. Around 80 percent of all horses are owned by families interested in small business investments and recreation. Forty percent of the horses are owned or ridden by youth. Our youth are interested in horse careers, and we need to provide jobs to keep them in our state. Like all major businesses, the capital investment for large farms is necessary and these farms provide a basic, vital and highly desirable industry in our state. Virginia should recruit and nurture these farms in a way similar to the state’s major efforts to attract other industries. Our small farms especially need*rafcing as they cannot be competitive without the comparative incentives provided by a state program. Many farms are leaving the state. Virginia was the cradle of the racing industry, but has slipped in comparative ranking from around fourth to 11th in racing foal production in recent years. Many of our mares are bred in racing states and many of our foals are bom in racing states. Our own Triple Crown winner, Secretariat, is now in Kentucky and he alone is a major industry and tourist attraction. The Virginia Agri-Business Council has endorsed racing, saying it would provide a major boost to agriculture around the state. Racing would create thousands of new jobs for trainers, managers, farm workers, veterinarians, farriers, feed dealer^, grain producers, hay producers, real estate agents, tack shop operators, building construction workers and others. Racing would let us enjoy a major spectator sport and return around a $200 million industry to our state. Texas voters recently returned racing by a big majority as they realized the economic impact of a similar scale based on a study in that great horse state. Approxi mately 70 million citizens attend races each year. Forty-one states and 74 nations allow racing. Racing is a popular and a closely regulated sport. Around us, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and now Tennessee allow racing. North Carolina is working to allow racing. There’s a daily dollar drain as busloads of our citizens go to these states from all areas of Virginia. Our newspapers run ads for these tracks, and magazines promote horse racing as a major tourist attraction in other states. The world recognizes Kentucky and its horses - an industry we gave away and one that we should regain. Race horses are well cared for athletes and racing is an exciting sport that we, like most everyone else, should be able to enjoy and profit from. More than 1,000 of our Virginia-owned horses race outside our state. We need to bring our horses home. Racing will not cause any more problems than any other major industry or large public sports gathering. The regulatory costs are minute by comparison to benefits. Virginia can have a quality and profitable program similar to successful programs in- other main stream horse states. The track program would be financed and run by private enterprise. The major impact is far beyond the track operation as it would be a major boost to the agricultural economy in all counties. Additional industries, including the tourist industry, motels, restaurants and other services, would also benefit. ‘ George Washington and Thomas Jefferson could race and enjoy racing. Please help Virginia to regain this birthright and noble tradition^ to provide good jobs for our youth and to retain our farms. Each horse farm is a major green space, quality industry with tremendous economic impact at the local level. Please vote yes to return an important Virginia tradition, to improve our economy, to provide a major spectator sport and to enhance our quality of life. Please giv^ our horse industry the opportunity to grow, prosper and contribute t* our economy. We humbly thank you for your consideration and ask foi your understanding and positive support for a positive program. j BERKLEY GRAY JrI Senior Vice President Virginia Horse Counci Staunton, Va. j ‘Bill of Rights9 will assist taxpayers with IRS By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER JR. Rappahannock News Contributing Writer For years the rights of American taxpayers have been ignored. Unfortunately, errors - often paperwork mistakes - made by the Internal Revenue System, or even taxpayers themselves, can destroy businesses, ruin reputations and cause untold panic and despair. While the Congress was able to lower individual tax rates in 1986, work remains to be done toward our goal of a simple and fair tax code. That is why I have co-sponsored legislation in the House of Representatives, called the ‘Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights,” to institute a number of reforms that would protect taxpayers without hindering the ability of the IRS to collect taxes rightfully due. This bill, HR 3470, would require the IRS to better inform taxpayers of their rights and explain deficiency notices that contain additional taxes, penalties or interest. Among other provisions, it would also ensure taxpayers’ rights to be represented by ; accountants and attorneys, and allow taxpayers to recover professional fees and damages from the IRS in certain circumstances. It is my hope that this bill - the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights - will help correct the imbalance that exists beI tween the power of the IRS and the rights of honest taxpaying citizens. The House has passed legislation to provide funding for the Department of Defense for 1989, budgeting $282 billion for Pentagon spending for next year, including $3.1 billion for the Strategic Defense Initiative. Unfortunately, this defense budget bill is $557 million less than President Reagan’s request. I voted in favoi of this bill because it does not include restrictive arms control language contained in a previous defense bill, and it contains funding for a new Trident submarine as well as $475 million to allow the military to assist with the elimination of the flow of illegal drugs into this country. This bill was passed by a vote of 360 to 53. This marks the fourth consecutive year of declining defense spending in terms of real dollars. No other part of the budget has been reduced in such a manner. The Congress should be careful to provide the necessary resources to maintain a strong national defense. Time and again, particularly in his recent talks with the Soviets, President Reagan has proven the necessity of negotiating from a position of military strength. We must remember that a strong national defense is necessary to protect our security interests. New problems following the breakdown of Nicaraguan peace talks have made the situation in Nicaragua even more critical to the national security interests of the United States. I recently co-sponsored legislation in the House of Representatives that would require the Administration to make monthly reports to Congress on the extent to which Nicaragua has undertaken democractic reforms. The Sandinista government must be held accountable for its commitments to promote democracy and human rights. This bill, H.R. 4285, is a straightforward method of helping Congress and the American public determine whether the Sandinista government is making any progress toward true democracy. The guidelines established in the bill are those already agreed to by the Sandinista regime and include free and open elections, due process and fair trials, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and movement, and freedom of religion. Especially in light of recent developments, monthly reports would give members of Congress and others who are trying to monitor carefully the peace process a clear indication of whether or not the Sandinistas are sticking to their promises for democratic reform. i Health bill too costly ; The catastrophic illness bill recently passed by the House, anil passed by the Senate last week, i| now on the President’s desk for si* nature. t I voted against the conference report on this bill, H.R. 2470, lapcause it extracts too high a price from the elderly in terms of increased Medicare premiums and increased income taxes and yet it will not deal with the severe problems facing the elderly in terms of health care. Namely, this bill would increase income taxes on the elderly by a maximum of $800 in the next year alone, but it does not even deal with the financing of nursing home care or the weak financial condition of our Medicare program. I believe Congress has missed a tremendous opportunity to legislate a sound, needed, and responsible health care policy for our nation’s elderly.

Op - Ed State’s farmers feeling effects of drought By SEN. JOHN WARNER Bippahaimock Nfwi Contributing Writer As the nation’s farmers brace themselves for What appears to be one of the worst droughts in recent memory, Virginia’s fanners are likewise preparing themselves for another dry growing season. Virginia is no stranger to drought. Both 1986' and 1987 were drought years in the Commonwealth, the effects of which are still being felt. .This year’s drought, while not as bad as in the parched Mid-West, comes early in the season and compounds the effects of previous droughts. So far, the southwestern comer of Virginia is bearing the brunt of the dry conditions. Virginia livestock owners, in particular, are being hit doubly hard. As grazing land dries up -and hay becomes scarce, the price of commerI cially-purchased feed rises, and the price of cattle ' declines due to higher sales of livestock that can no longer be fed. * It is still too soon to predict the fate of other Virginia crops such as com, tobacco and peanuts. Some rain in early July could turn things around and produce a healthy crop. Long-range weather forecasts for most of the state suggest that 1988 could be a year of relatively normal rainfall. That -prospect has comforted some Southside farmers -to the extent that they have recently donated hay to drought-stricken farmers in Ohio to repay them for their generosity in donating foodstuffs •Over the last two years to Virginia. The impact of a drought extends far beyond our farmlands. Virginians remember too well los mg 12,000 acres to fires last fall. And the lower water levels also mean dwindling fish stocks and increased bacterial pollutions from less oxygen in Virginia’s streams and rivers. Ironically, this year started out to be a promising one for agriculture. After the slump of the last several years, prices were climbing, exports overseas were increasing and farm values were bouncing back to reasonable economic levels. Farmers looked forward to a robust and prosperous year. Unfortunately, this drought could get worse before conditions get better. Fairly reliable longrange weather forecasts for the coming month indicate little likelihood of substantial rain in the areas most affected by drought to alleviate this driest spell in 50 years. In the short term the effects on food prices for consumers will be mixed. The prices of items made directly from grain, such as bread, beer, and breakfast cereals, are already beginning to climb. Simultaneously, meat prices should decline as livestock owners are form! to slaughter cattle they can no longer feed. While less than a tenth of our Gross National Product (GNP) comes from agriculture, the drought’s effect on food prices and economic growth could add one-half percent to inflation, while reducing economic growth a half percent. In Washington a Congressional task force is working with the administration to provide federal assistance to drought-stricken areas. This ef fort is intended to guarantee that there are adequate food supplies and that farmers receive adequate assistance during this difficult period. While the nation’s attention has been fixed on the Mid-West, Virginia officials at the county, state and federal level are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to minimize the effects of the drought here. Specifically, state and federal officials have applied to USDA to expedite federal allowance of haying and grazing on land previously removed from production to reduce surpluses or enhance soil conservation. These allowances are urgently needed in the southwestern comer of Virginia, particularly Washington and Lee counties. I have contacted the appropriate officials in Richmond and at USDA to push for timely action . In addition to these efforts, the federal government has established a toll-free hotline, 800541-3375, for questions about services in drought areas, which is available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. In the meantime, while we may not be able to change the weather, we can make sure that the state and federal governments work closely together to help our nation’s farmers overcome a crisis over which they have no control.

Foreigners must report land transcations Linda Henry, county executive ' director of the Warren and Rappahannock counties Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), recently reminded all for' eigners who have bought or sold ag3 ricultural land in the county to i report the transaction to ASCS * within 90 days. The report is res' quired by the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act ' (AFIDA). * “A report must be filed if all or * part of the agricultural land is sold t or title is transferred to another pert son,” Ms. Henry said.

Surviving heat takes some common sense Now that the temperature regularly registers in the 80s or higher, take it easy and plan activities carefully, said a Virginia Extension Service spokesman. The skin can dissipate a lot of heat, but the body’s cooling system bogs down when the air is hotter than the skin, especially when humidity is high and winds are calm. If the body temperature continues to rise, a number of things can happen. Heat rash, also known as “prickly heat,” occurs in hot, humid climates where perspiration doesn’t easily evaporate from the skin. Sweat glands become plugged and inflamed, and a rash appears. To prevent heat rash, keep the skin as dry as possible and wear fastdrying clothes, such as cotton. Rest in cool places and use com starch such as baby powder. Heat syncope (SEEN-co-pee), or fainting, occurs when the body sends blood to the skin to cool, reducing blood flow to the brain. It occurs most often when a person is inactive. Once the victim has recovered, let him lie flat in a cool place. Heat cramps are painful muscle spasms caused by physical activity in hot, humid weather. It is caused by a chemical imbalance from the loss of fluids and electrolytes through sweating. Victims need to drink plenty of water and massage affected muscles. Lightly salted water restores electrolytes. Do not take salt tablets. The body does not benefit from such a concentration of salt, and it may even be harmful. Heat exhaustion is caused by a loss of fluids and salt from sweating and decreased blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Symptoms include excessive sweating, clammy skin, weakness, nausea, headache and dizziness. Victims can become confused, vomit and lose consciousness. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency caused by a complete failure of the body’s heat regulation. Symptoms include lack of perspiration, mottled skin, dry skin, oral temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, confusion, anger, or delirium, chills, nausea, unconsciousness, convulsions, and eventually a coma. For victims, get medical attention immediately. Cool the body by sponging with cold water, immersing in cold water, or covering with cold compresses. Continue this treatment until an ambulance arrives. Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Next Deadline July 27th Call 675-3338 to place your ad!

Have a good week. i Patience, understanding are the keys By JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Most people have met other individuals who seemed always to want things to go their own way, always to have their own point of view accepted by the rest of the family or social group. Interestingly, the aggressive individual is often the one with a low self-image, little confidence, or in some other way emotionally needy. They think that they are coming across in the opposite way by bullying, forcing their opinion, or otherwise trying to impress other people with their knowledge and ability. On the other hand, all of us have been in situations where the unintrusive knowledge and guidance of someone else, offered in a patient and non-threatening way, left us with warm feelings toward that person. These situations are often the most productive for all the individuals involved. The first step in achieving these productive interactions is really listening to and trying to understand what the other person is saying be FAffliLV FGCUi 1 ' fore we speak our mind. Just think how far that one change would go toward improving the quality of our relationships. This ability to listen is also vitally important in our family life. Ideally, it should apply no matter how tired mom or dad is, or how upset one of the kids is over some misfortune. f Behind the aggressive-individual's bullying is an obsessive orientation with himself. They are actually saying, “I want it done my way — not your way.” This extreme orientation toward self, opinion or point of view is called selfishness. The situation becomes particularly difficult if the two parties are not really listening to each other and communication breaks down entirely. Then, nothing is accomplished and often the individuals end up disliking each other — and blaming each other for their lack of success. The problem reminds me of a young child throwing a temper tantrum in an attempt to get its way. Unfortunately, it is not just young children who throw temper tantrums. Although an adult’s behavior might be more sophisticated, when the veneer is stripped away it is still a temper tantrum. The best approach to an individual throwing a tantrum — whatever their age — is not to react with a tantrum of your own. Perhaps if the behavior is seen in its true light, as a manifestation of emotional immaturity, we can be more patient in helping the other person to grow.

Bull Run Jamboree is country music festival By KRIS TEMPLETON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Another summer is upon us and that, of course, means it’s time for the Bull Run Country Jamboree. The Jamboree, once again sponsored by . the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority in association with WMZQ radio, is scheduled for Sunday, July 17, at Bull Run Regional Park, and the organizers promise a hand-clapping, foot-stomping combination of the best in country music - old and new. And this year the Bull Run Country Jamboree will feature the antics of comedian Andy Andrews. f yvtv ADVERTISING : ; DEADLINES 4 ; LOCAL 4 DISPLAY ► ADVERTISING ] ► Rappahannock News Ads[ > Tuesday, 12 noon ” Combo Ads [ * (one or more papers) * [ Monday, 3 p.m. * " Real Estate Combo Ads < > Friday, 4 p.m. 4 ” CLASSIFIED « ; ADVERTISING ; [.

All the while you’ll be serenaded by the music of three local groups: Cheryl Wade and the City Slickers, the Smith Sisters, and a country favorite, South Bound U.S.A. The music and festivities begin at 9 a. m. Then settle yourself on the expansive lawn for great sounds in country music. Ricky Van Shelton is relatively new to the national country music scene but his first big hit “Crime of Passion” took him to the top of the charts and he’s stayed up there with such hits as “Somebody Lied” and “Life Made Her That Way.” He was voted Top New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music. Ricky is a native Virginian, so he should feel right at home on the stage at the Bull Run Country Jamboree. Highway 101 is the melodic combination of Paulette Carlson, Cactus Moses, Curtis Stone and Jack Daniels. Their talents lie not only in the singing of great country music but also in song writing. The group’s first big hit, “The "Bed You Made For Me,” was written by Ms. Carlson.

As long as I can remember, the name George Jones has been synonymous with country music. George has been appearing on the country music charts and in the Academy of Country Music since the 1950s with such songs as “Window Up Above,” “White Lightning,” and of course “She Thinks I Still Care” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” He appeared on the stage at the Bull Run Country Jamboree several years ago and, believe me, the crowds didn’t want to let him leave. Headlining the Bull Run Country Jamboree is Waylon Jennings. If you don’t know Waylon Jennings, you don’t know country music. Waylon is an original; he likes to shake tradition and it all comes through in his “outlaw” style of music. From his hits of the ’60s to his offbeat, out-ofthe-ordinary, but always successful tunes of the last decade, Waylon Jennings has quenched the thirsty ears of country music lovers with such hit songs as “Amanda,” “Luckenback, Texas,” “The Wurlitzer Prize,” “Good Hearted Woman” . . . the list goes on and on. During the day a variety of foods and soft drinks, as well as official Jamboree souvenirs, may be purchased at the many concession stands that will dot the grounds) Visitors are invited to bring coolers of picnic foods and beverages. How-* ever, Jamboree organizers announce that no alcoholic beverages will be permitted. The park will be closed July 17 to all but Jamboree ticket-holders, who are entitled to the use of the 1,00(K acre park’s mini-golf, picnic facilities and one of the largest swimming pools in northern Virginia. Tickets to the Bull Run Country Jamboree are $12.50 in advance and $15 at the gate on Jamboree day; Tickets may be purchased at Ticketcenter outlets in the metropolitan area, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville, all Desperados American Wear stores, all regional parks and the NVRPA headquarters. Tickets will also be available in Winchester at Ear Food Records. Bull Run Regional Park is easily reached by taking the Centreville exit off 1-66 and following highway signs to the park.

Hay hotline established RICHMOND - Responding to drought conditions dominating the Mid-Western states, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), in con-. junction with the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, has established a hay program to assist the efforts to combat the drought’s effect. VDACS has installed a toll-free number inside Virginia, (800) 2887595, to receive information from Virginia farmers who want to donate hay or who need hay to feed their livestock. VDACS Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh said farmers calling the hay hotline will be able to provide information about their resources directly to VDACS Division of Marketing staff. The hotline will be in operation during regular business hours of 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. “We are committed to assisting farmers who are in a drought situation, in both Virginia and other Real Estate lSJ Eileen M. Day realtor''". THE LISTING AGREEMENT In a home selling situation, the seller will normally select one real estate agency as the exclusive sales representative. The agreement with the agency will be in the form of a listing contract which spells out the conditions and provisions. These are binding on both parties; the seller and the agency. One of the provisions in the listing agreement will deal with the term (how long the contract will be in force). If you sign for six months, other conditions withstanding, you normally will be bound to the agreement for this period. Be aware of the time period before you sign. Six months may be a reasonable term for some special properties; a four month listing would be more typical. If you want to sign for two or three months, our agency can agree or not agree. Also, remember that we will incur out-of-pocket expenses for which they will usually only be compensated if a sale is completed. The aim of our office is to sell your house and we’ll do it. That’s what it’s all about. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747. Phone 6753003. We’re here to help. states, and who are having to feed their livestock now with hay that would normally be fed this coming winter. At this time, the majority of ' Virginia farmers affected by the drought are located in the southwest part of the state,” Mr. Carbaugh said. Virginia farmers interested in donating hay or who need hay should call the hotline or the Rappahannock Extension office (675-3619) to participate in the program. The information needed includes the farmer’s name, address, telephone number, kind of hay, quantity, and type of bale (round or square). The Extension offices will assist with coordination and movement of the hay at the local level. Should this program result in large quantities of hay being donated, then Virginia will coordinate its efforts with USDA’s national program to lend assistance to other drought-stricken states where hay is needed, Mr. Carbaugh said. This ac tion would be a reversal of the situation two years ago, when farmers in many other states donated hay in response to Virginia’s need, the Commissioner added.

Carrots galore By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Afent, Home Economics Fresh carrots are clearly a soupto-dessert vegetable. From crtinchycrisp carrot sticks on an hors d’oeuvre tray to moist, spicy carrot cake, you can serve fresh carrots in countless creations. One pound of carrots will yield 3 cups sliced or diced, 4 cups grated or processor ground, 3 cups cooked and pureed. Few vegetabels have better keeping qualities than carrots. Carrots will keep for several months in the refrigerator when placed in per forated plastic bags. From time to time carrots are found limp. Usually this can be overcome by soaking limp carrots in ice water for 30 minutes. New carrots should be scrubbed but not peeled. Older carrots should be peeled. Carrots cook quickly to a bright orange color and tender crisp texture. Cooking times vary according to method used: steaming (thinly sliced or diced) 5-7 minutes; blanching (thinly sliced or diced) 4-6 minutes; stir-fried 4-8 minutes; parboil for salads 2-3 minutes. Carrots are famous for their large vitamin A content. They also are a good source of fiber, potassium, and other minerals. One cup of carrots contains just 42 calories. To epjoy that “24-carrot” color and crunch in the raw, chop fresh carrots into slaw salads and sandwich fillings. Shred carrots over cottage cheese or make a delightful fresh carrot salad with grated carrots, mayonnaise, fresh lemon or lime juice, raisins and nuts. Herbs and spices enhance many carrot dishes. Some of these flavors provide a pleasant addition to carrot dishes - anise, caraway, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, mint, curry, thyme, basil, rosemary and mustard. Dilled Carrots and Peas with Brown Rice 2% cups water 1 cup brown rice 1T. butter or margarine 1 tsp. salt 2 medium carrots, cut into IV2 by 1/8 by 1/8-inch strips 1 lb. fresh peas, shelled or 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen peas, thawed 3 T. heavy cream IV2 tsp. chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed) 1/8 tsp. pepper Bring water to a boil in medium saucepan. Stir in rice, butter and salt. Cover tightly and cook over low heat 45 minutes. Add carrots and peas. Cover and continue to cook over low heat until all water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream, dill and pepper. Makes 6 servings. Grilled Baked Carrots For grilled dinners or picnics, try carrots baked in foil. Take whole or chunked carrots and dot with butter and fresh'herbs, such as dill. Wrap in foil. Place on a rack over water and bake 20-30 minutes. Serve hot. Carrot and Potato Soup teases the appetite as a first course. This soup tastes good when served hot or cold.

Overlay Continued from page 1 wouldn’t provide for any commercial uses, the new zoning category won’t stimulate the growth of settlements into villages, Mr. McCarthy said. Regulations would set limits of, say, five or ten acres as the maximum size of the overlay settlement zone while limiting the number of dwelling units in such a zone to eight to ten, he proposed. “I like the idea,” responded Col. Ellis Bingham. “In my mind, this (the type of division sought by Mr. Atkins) is a natural growth brought about by our own people ... as opposed to people coming in and just starting subdivisions. I know there’s a lot of unhappiness in the county (regarding land use and zoning regulations). This would be a step in the right direction. It would show people that we’re really concerned.” “How did you decide on one acre?” Supervisor Mike Massie asked the county administrator. “It recognizes what other counties have done," Mr.McCarthy replied. In addition, he said, one acre is the minimum lot size which could be allowed in an agricultural zone without conflicting with the county’s stated goal of preserving and promoting the local agricultural industry. Also, from the aspect of protecting health and safety, one acre is the minimum land necessary to provide adequately for private wells and septic drainfield, he said. Mr. Massie noted that in setting a two-acre lot size for family subdivisions, the county had already determined that two acres was the minimum needed in case >the lot’s original drainfield and well failed. “Once you set a limit, you’re pretty much bound to stick to it . . . Once you start moving it down,” he warned, the pressure intensifies to lower the limit even further. “I think we should be very careful and realize we're setting a precedent w here we could end up with lots too small for well and septic . . . I’m not ruling it out, but we've got to be pretty dam careful about what we’re getting ourselves into." “I don’t think we should penalize the small landowner who’s been there for generations just because he doesn’t have a lot of land. To me, the size of the lot is very insignificant," rejoined Col. Bingham, adding that the reason for seeking the subdivision is what’s important. The Atkins family has mitigating circumstances, he maintained. “They’re trying to take care of their own, and I think they should have the opportunity to do it.” The supervisors must remember that Rappahannock’s residents are “independent people,” the Jackson District representative said. “Laws are not to be abided by blindly. Laws are simply a guide.” “But we’ve got to be fair,” in Subdivision Continued from page 3 Mr. Estes asked, how did the small lots get onto the landbooks? “The implication is that somebody walked that plat to the Commissioner of Revenue’s office,” Mr. McCarthy said. “There’s no plat in the land records. There never was,” Mr. Reynolds said. As to whether the court had directed the land be subdivided, Mr. Reynolds held this was unlikely— since both the judge and the commissioners had concluded that 44 acres couldn’t be subdivided into lots for 12 parties, why would the court direct the subdivision of 32 acres into 10 lots? In addition, he pointed out that the court’s records show written offers for two parcels, one of 32 acres and one of 12 acres. “I think the judge would have given detailed reasons for dividing the land into small lots (since the action would be in contravention of the county’s zoning regulations),” remarked Supervisor Nelson Lane. “I think somebody’s trying to pull the wool over somebody’s eyes here,” concluded Chairman Hubert Gilkey, affirming that the Board of Supervisors endorses an investigation of the matter.

To say that the county’s minimum lot sizes penalize the less affluent is unfair, he said. “Either a person can or cannot afford to build a house,” he said, adding that the cost of the land is not a major consideration. “We have to look at the county, at the neighboring landowners. There are a lot of ramifications in what we’re talking about. We’ve got to tread carefully.” “In large measure, Rappahannock's quality of life is the result of the large-lot way we’ve gone,” Mr. McCarthy said, noting that with smaller lots and a higher population density, the county’s tax rate would be double — even triple — what it is today. He emphasized that his support for a settlement zone comes only if the new overlay district can be defined and regulated so that it “doesn’t do violence” to the county’s policy of “maintaining an agricultural way of life and keeping the density that’s critical to an agricultural way of life.” But Mr. McCarthy also added that “people are still having children” and will want to help those children get started in life by giving them land for a home. lively wuy s nut lununaie enough to own a lot of land. Mr. Lane is a wealthy man. He doesn’t understand poor people ... He doesn’t know what a poor man feels like,” said Wilson Atkins, Later, Mr. Massie noted that if the couple had four acres, the family transfer would have been already approved. “We’re worrying about the little person, but it doesn’t take a multi-millionaire to own four acres of land in Rappahannock County . . . We shouldn’t lose sight of that.” But in this case, Supervisor Charles Estes pointed out, the adjoining landowner is not willing to sell the additional two acres necessary to meet the minimum lot size for family transfers. “We have ample options now in our zoning ordinance,” Mr. McCarthy added, saying the Atkins had been told they could add on to an existing structure, apply for a permit for a family apartment, or convert an old bam into a residence. But those choices weren’t satisfactory to the people involved. “And that’s fine.” However, the county administrator stressed that he is opposed to amending the ordinance merely to provide a solution to an individual problem. And the resolution of that issue must come without damage to Rappahannock’s large-lot, low-density policy: “This agricultural zoning is . . . the best thing the people of this county have going for them,” Mr. McCarthy concluded. Doares Continued from page 1 1962 and five is the maximum number of divisions of any kind which may be made by right from that “parent” parcel. In a legal administratively-approved subdivision, Mrs. Doares’ father gave her 16 acres and her sister Olivia 26 acres in 1973. The sister sold her 26 acres in 1982, and in April, 1988, the new owners received approval for three two-acre divisions as family transfers. A few weeks later, when Mrs. Doares sought to transfer a five-acre lot to her son, she learned that the five-cut limit had been reached and that she could only give him a lot on which to build a house if the Board of Supervisors granted her a special exception permit. Along with filing an application for that permit, she proposed — and then withdrew — a zoning ordinance amendment to allow by right up to three family subdivisions from all parcels except those previously created through the family transfer exception. The commissioners recommended denial of Mrs. Doares’ special exception permit but they also authorized Zoning Administrator John McCarthy to draft and formally submit his suggestions for (1) limiting family transfers to one per parcel in any calendar year and (2) requiring notice to other affected landowners (whose properties were part of the same parent parcel in 1962) of such transfer. Those amendments will be considered by the Planning Commission at a public hearing July 20. While Mrs. Doares’ amendment died with her request that it be with Discovery of rock interrupts construction It wasn’t pay dirt but rock that the contractor hit last Thursday at the site of Rappahannock’s first county-owned and operated landfill. According to county Administrator John McCarthy, the supervisors were notified immediately and decided individually to visit the Stover tract Friday and see for themselves. Also at this informal gathering, they apparently decided to eliminate extensive blasting as an option for removing the rock and keeping the first disposal trenches in the location shown on the design plans which are a part of the landfill permit issued by the Virginia Department of Waste Management. This week, consultant Leonard Joyce has a backhoe at the Stover tract, digging exploratory holes on a 50-foot grid pattern to determine the extent of the rock in the planned fill area. Once he has that information, expected by late Wednesday, he will develop alternatives and figure costs and present the data to the supervisors at a special meeting this Friday. And in the meantime, representatives from the Jackson District Citizens Committee let the board know that they’re monitoring developments. “It doesn’t look like you have 20 feet of dirt, much less 50 feet,” Lorraine Early, the committee’s president and founder, told the supervisors on Tuesday, suggesting that a state geologist inspect the site again. Engineer Leonard Joyce was at the Stover tract early Tuesday morning, Mr. McCarthy noted, adding that the engineer’s time and the use of the backhoe was coming at no cost to the county.

(The rock) is not going to limit what we can do with the site at all. It’s not going to amount to greatly inflated costs. It’s not going to involve blasting,” he said, adding that the supervisors already have ruled out rock removal with explosives. “This really puts down the geotechnic study,” interjected Mrs. Early, referring to the site study and evaluation which the committee has criticised repeatedly as incomplete and incorrect. “I don’t think so,” maintained Supervisor Nelson Lane, who studied geology and worked in the field be-, fore moving to Rappahannock County. “It happens everywhere," he said, adding that a boring just five feet away from the rock would not have detected its presence. “The rock’s a problem — a msgor problem — but I think it’s a problem^ we can work out without it costing the county too much more money,” said Supervisor Mike Massie. drawn, the application for the special exception permit with its recommendation for denial from the Planning Commsision went on to the Board of Supervisors. “I don’t think we’re confronted with a development issue here. I don’t think we’re confronted with a racial issue,” Mr. Baumgardner said on Tuesday. “I think it’s a question of fairness.” The supervisors acceded unanimously to the request that Mrs. Doares’ special exception application be held over for 60 days. “We thank you for that ... It will give us a chance to go over these amendments John (McCarthy) has,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey. With the Planning Commission’s public hearing in mid-July, action on the proposed amendments could come at the Board of Supervisors’ August meeting, Mr. McCarthy pointed out. Adoption “may make Mrs. Doares’ application moot . . . She may get what she wants by right,” the zoning administrator added. Petitions call for special treatment for Rappahannock natives Measuring the dissatisfaction with the manner in which the county handles family subdivisions, or maybe just development in general, the board has received petitions with about 350 signatures, proposing that “natives” be allowed to build houses on less acreage than required by the zoning ordinance. The petitions specify neither the minimum lot size for Rappahannock County “natives” nor whether the special treatment would apply to all subdivisions or just to family transfers. According to Mr. McCarthy, such a provision establishing a different set of regulations for people born in Rappahannock County would be patently unconstitutional. Fourth Continued from page 1 on to the next generation a little better than we found it.” Mr. Carrigan reminisced about the many memories of 26 years of Independence Day celebrations: The appearances by the Rappahannock Hunt, the helicopters and balloons, the Arabian horses, fife and drum corps and colonial drill teams, the musicians and vocalists, and of course, the fireworks. “These are good people making these celebrations — mostly local people. They have all worked together to make them a success.” Mr. Carrigan singled out the late Paul Miller of Flint Hill and the Hubert Gilkey family of Chester Gap. Mr. Miller was the first coordinator of the fireworks displays, and the Gilkey family took over the responsibility after Mr. Miller’s health failed. “They are the real professionals responsible for the spectacular demonstrations of fireworks.” Though they receive no compensation for their efforts, Mr. Carrigan said, “we want to give them something special.” He presented Mr. Gilkey, representing his family, with a Revolutionary War sword worn by an American Naval officer. i " “This is a parting,” Mr. Carrigan concluded. “We give up our responsibility. We thank you for your welcome into this community, and we hope that you will carry on the spirit of the Fourth of July, America’s Independence Day.” Festival is a winner With a beautiful, breezy July day, plenty of food and abundant crowds, Chief Roach pronounced the day-long festival of crafts, games, rides and community spirit a success. “It was a fantastic turnout,” he said, estimating that between 15,000 and 20,000 people had visited the town during the day. “They came early and stayed late,” Chief Roach said. People were buying hamburgers and hot dogs on their way out after the fireworks. - Mr. Thomasson said that people had begun to arrive on Gay St. even before the 10 a.m. starting time. “During the day it was steady, with a good flow and turnover. It was fun. I think we had far more people for the fireworks than ever in my memory,” he added. “It rang the bell,” said Washington’s Mayor Dean Morehouse. “Let Freedom Ring was a good theme. I hope everybody enjoyed it.” Chief Roach, tired but still elated by the event’s success, was already planning ahead. ‘We’ve got a great bunch of volunteers ...
