Landfill will open next week By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer With an operator hired and set to begin work at the site on Sept. 29, County Administrator John McCarthy announced Tuesday that the county plans to open its new landfill in Amissville on Monday, Oct. 3. Mr. McCarthy said that the county has hired Harold Artz, a contractor from Amissville as its operator at the county landfill on Route 639 east of the Amissville village. He was hired by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors last week, the county administrator said. “It will be a full-time position,” Mr. McCarthy said. “It will basically be his landfill. He is responsible for its operation — he will open it, close it, and direct the loader operator and equipment” which the county has under contract from Community Trash Inc. of Culpeper. Mr. Artz, the county administrator said, is a former plumbing contractor with excavating experience. Although he will be directly responsible for the landfill operation, Mr. McCarthy has explained in the past that the chain of responsibility for the landfill runs from Mr. Artz, to him and ultimately to the county’s Board of Supervisors. Mr. McCarthy added that Mr. Artz will be working on the construction of the building which will serve as his office at the site as well as overseeing operation of the public convenience area, where residents may deposit trash as well as drop off recyclables (see related article). Mr. Artz has been familiarized with landfilling operations by engineer Leonard Joyce, Mr. McCarthy said, and will attend a state training course which leads to certification as a landfill operator the next time the course is offered, probably early next year. Mr. Joyce’s firm will continue to consult on the landfill operation after it is opened, Mr. McCarthy added. See LANDFILL, p. 16 RALLY starts recycling habit “Recycling is not the total answer to the problem of trash but it certainly can be an important part of the answer,” says Nina Stainer, Rappahannock County’s litter coordinator. Pratically every county in Virginia now has such a post, funded through grants from the state’s Division of Litter Control. “It’s a big network, and we pass information to each other,” Mrs. Stamer noted. In fact, it was from Culpeper’s litter coordinator that she learned of a new salvage company based in Rixeyville that will take not only newspaper, aluminum, and ., glass, but also plastics, magazines, and tin cans. And now Mrs. Stamer and county administrator John McCarthy are exploring options with Chuck Stennet, the president of Piedmont Recycling, for establishment of a recycling center at the county landfill set to open next week on the Stover tract near Amissville. Still to be settled are the terms for construction of a shed to hold the recycled materials, Mrs. Stamer reported, noting that once an agreement is worked out, it must be accepted by the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. None-the-less, she’s hopeful that a center can be ready by Nov. 1, even if it means an up-front expenditure of county funds or forgoing the revenue from sale of salvaged material until the contractor’s capital outlay is recovered. SETTING THEIR SIGHTS on Sperryville’s Apple Harvest Festival, the Palmetto Sharpshooters -4 reenactment group will be among the attractions at this weekend’s festival. The regiment will set > up an encampment on Saturday and Sunday, and provide a living history program both days. Above, from left, are 1st Sgt. Alan Bennett of Charlottesville, 1st Lt. Frank Mundy of Earlysville, and Ordinance Sgt. Lee Mundy of Lexington. ^ Sperryville set for festival Come rain or come sunshine, come to Sperryville’s Apple Harvest Festival. That’s the message from the Sperryville Business Council, which sponsors the annual celebration of the season’s harvest. The festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1 and 2 in the pastoral village at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. And a celebration of the harvest it promises to be, the sponsors say, with apple products of every imaginable description offered for sampling and sale. From Elmer Atkins’ freshpressed apple cider to made-on-the premises apple butter at Country Manor, and fresh apples at the fruit stands in between, Rappahannock's premier fruit takes center stage this weekend. “In Washington state they grow apples for looks,” said one county orchardist, “but in Rappahannock we grow ’em for taste.” That’s become the unofficial motto of the Apple Harvest Festival, now celebrating its third year. Each year, the festival attracts more interest from the residents, merchants and civic organizations in the town, and this year is no excep tion. The businesses in town are geared up for a busy weekend as the organizers predict that a beautiful fall weekend could bring more than the estimated 5,000 festivalgoers who flocked to Sperryville last year. And, if a leisurely day spent in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains isn’t enough of an excuse for a visit to Sperryville, festival coordinator Tom Junk has another: “With all the sales planned, it’s a chance to get the jump on Christmas!” But for those not yet willing to See FESTIVAL, p. 16 Federal officials back VDOT on nature of VE study By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer According to officals in the Federal Highway Administration’s offices in Richmond, Va. and Washington, D.C., the value engineering study on Rt. 211 which recommends widening shoulders and pavement on the existing two-lane configuration as an alternative to duallaning the 4.2 miles between Washington and Sperry ville, is just what the Virginia Department of Transportation says it is: a training exercise. Last week, in a letter to the Rappahannock News Stella Cadwalader of Woodville, the leader of the opposition to the long-delayed and recently controversial project maintained: “The News has consistently bought VDOT’s assertion that the value engineering study being disclaimed by VDOT was a ‘student exercise.’ If the News were to contact the Federal Highway Administration in Washington, which happened to oversee this particular value engineering study, it would learn — and could accurately report — that this Route 211 study amounts to the genuine article. .Under federal guidelines it must be taken seriously.” “Overseeing” limited to providing an instructor James Mark Tumlin, the FHWA’s Virginia division administrator said in a telephone interview from his Richmond office on Monday that the federal role in the contested value engineering study involved (1) providing an instructor for the Virginia Department of Transportation’s week-long workshop which produced the Route 211 study and (2) his presence at the closing ceremonies for that workshop at which the various teams presented their reports. The Federal Highway Administration has been “encouraging states to get involved in value engineering,” Mr. Tumlin said, adding “Virginia has been doing a relatively good job." The Commonwealth’s efforts include (1) “training people in the skills they need for value engineering and how to go about the process,” and (2) “selecting specific pro jeets” and “selecting people with specific skills, interdisciplinary skills, say in design and construction and materials, and forming a team to do value engineering studies," the state’s FHWA chief reported. Probably 15 or 20 projects annually are subjected to this full-blown value engineering review by a “hand-picked” team of experts from various highway disciplines, he said. But the study for Route 211 was not done by the hand-picked experts, Mr. Tumlin said. Rather it was a “training exercise” to instruct VDOT personnel in value engineering.

Bingham attacks family transfer provisions By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “If a man wants to give his daughter one acre to build a house on, I say by God, let him do it. . .If a family has only one acre, if they can divide it one more time and still meet health standards, we’d be far better off to let them do it,” maintained Supervisor Ellis Bingham, calling on his fellow members of the Board of Supervisors to either change the county’s land use laws to allow for “natural growth” or face the possibilty that the county’s form of government will be changed. Col. Bingham’s remarks came last week at a public hearing by the Planning Commission on proposed zoning ordinance amendments to allow by special exception permit a sixth family subdivision exemption from density regulations, provided certain standards are satisfied. The amendments were occasioned by the denial this March of Joan Brown Doares’ application for a - family subdivision. By right, five family divisions with a minimum lot size of two acres are allowed from parcels of record as of 1962. In 1962, Mrs. Doares’ 16 acres were part of a 42-acre tract belonging to her father, Paul Brown. He subdivided the property, giving 16 acres to Mrs. Doares and 26 acres to her sister. The sister subsequently sold her land, and just weeks before Mrs. Doares sought to divide five acres to transfer to her son, the new owners received administrative approval for three two-acre lots under the family division exception. The three lots, plus the 20 acre residue and Mrs. Doares’ 16 acres, totaled the five cuts allowed by right. In September, the Board of Supervisors adopted ordinance amendments limiting a landowner to one family division in a calendar year and requiring that all owners of land belonging to the same parent parcel in 1962 be notified of the division. Those changes would prevent the same situation from occurring again, however they did nothing to redress Mrs. Doares’ problem. Additional amendments with that specific aim were rejected as being too broad and until Supervisor Mike Massie came up with the regulations currently under consideration, it appeared that the county might let the courts decide whether Rappahannock’s family subdivision provisions were fair. At last Wednesday’s public hearing Douglas Baumgardner, the attorney for Mrs. Doares described the amendments as a “safety valve” which neither broadens nor restricts the density waiver for family transfers but rather allows “flexibility” as a protection against inequitable or arbitrary application of zoning regulations. While endorsing the amendments, Col. Bingham said, “I don’t think it’s the answer,” but added he didn’t want to do anything to hold up approval for Mrs. Doares’ subdivision request since she’s already waited five months. “Personally gentlemen, I view this [delay 1 as very unacceptable,” he told the Planning Commissioners. See BINGHAM, p. 16

According to Capt. Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, Ernest Lee Rooker, 18, of Rt. 1 Box 344, Washington, and Robert Edward Pullen, 26, of Rt. 1 Box 310, Washington, were charged last week with the theft of the lantern. Capt. Streapy said that the light’s supporting pole was pulled over and the lantern ripped off the top. It was found, badly damaged, on the grounds of Trinity Episcopal Church by the Rev. Jennings Hobson III. The vandalism was reported early in the morning of Sept. 19 by Librarian Dee Brents. Capt. Streapy said that the arrests were made on the basis of fingerprints which he took from the lightpole, and interviews and statements from several individuals with knowledge of the incident. Capt. Streapy said that the lantern, valued at $459, had been donated to the library by Col. and Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer. He said that the stop sign and street sign at Gay and Middle Sts. were also vandalized at about the same time, but that no charges have been placed in that incident. Slaughter receives 4th Golden Bulldog Award Washington, D. C. - Two-term Virginia Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. was recently presented the Golden Bulldog Award by the Watchdogs of the Treasury, Inc., for his 1988 votes to cut Federal spending, eliminate waste and reduce the Federal deficit. It was the fourth Golden Bulldog Award presented to Congressman Slaughter since his election to Congress in 1984. He represents The Seventh District, which includes Rappahannock County. Rep. Slaughter, who received a rating of 90 percent, said he was very pleased to again receive this award for his economic and fiscal votes. “My top priority is reducing the Federal deficit and, as my constituents have indicated, it should be the top priority of the Congress,” Mr. Slaughter said. The Golden Bulldog Award is presented each year to those Members of Congress who vote to contain unnecessary government spending at least 75 percent of the time, based on a compilation of selected votes on economic and fiscal issues published in the “Economy Voting Record." Two hundred and thirty Members of Congress - 158 in the House of Representatives and 45 in the Senate - were given the Golden Bulldog Award in 1988. Forty-three percent of Congress received the award. Watchdogs of the Treasury is a Washington, D. C.-based nonpartisan organization whose award for fiscal integrity in government is presented annually.

Spring Hill farmhouse on tour The 32nd annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale traditionally takes place on the third weekend of October. This year it’s Saturday the 15th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday the 16th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Among houses to be shown this year is Spring Hill Farm, the home of Aileen and C. Keeton Barnes, located one mile north of Rediviva on the east side of Rt. 622. This lovely farm home evolved from a two-story log house built in the mid 1700’s, probably as a tenant house for Reality Farm about a half mile south, which was a portion of the original Willis Grant from King George III. The log house consisted of a downstairs dining room and bedroom, both with large fireplaces; upstairs were a bedroom and school room. The kitchen was in a seperate dependency. In 1885 the property (house and 52 acres) was bought by JT (Tom) Gore for $1,858. It became an entensive working farm operation with an 80 head cattle bam, a bam for 12 horses, a four-stall stallion bam and boasted the first upright silo in the county. Mr. Gore operated a cooperage, maintained a grainery as well as machinery, wagon, buggy and surry ' sheds. It was a sizeable farm even by today’s standards. The remains of the orginal house were tom down in 1940 but the foundations remain. The cooperage and grainery still exist but have been moved down the hill to the Covington River.

Day realtor HIRING A HOUSE INSPECTOR Naturally you will carefully inspect any home you intend to purchase as best you can. However, if you are not a building expert and you have some serious questions about the house’s structure or systems, it makes sense to hire an independent house inspector to do a professional job. If this is your case, here are a few pointers. Home inspectors are supposed to work FOR the buyer. The real estate agent is not the inspection expert and he or she will be the first to tell you. Hire a house inspector who is totally impartial. That means someone who simply inspects the house and submits the findings but does nothing whatsoever to correct any fault he may find. In that way, the inspector will not be motivated to "discover” a lot of extra faults as a means toward finding repair work. The inspector should be knowlm edgeable enough to give approxiJ mate costs of repairs as a guide so the client can make an informed decision on the house.

About 1900 Mr. Gore added five rooms for about $400, three bedrooms upstairs, a main hallway and staircase of indigenous black walnut, a parlor left of the hallway and bedroom to the right. These five rooms are now the main house. To feed the up to 12 farm hands he employed, Tom Gore also added a large kitchen. Oddly enough he did not include an interior connection between the old and new parts of the house. The children could go from the bedroom to the school room through an upstairs window, otherwise one used the porch. Today the parlor to the left is the dining room and the bedroom to the right is the living room.

Coleman calls Democrats, Dukakis platform'a threat' By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Former Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman came to Rappahannock as a surrogate for George Bush, but when Mr. Coleman lit into Michael Dukakis he sounded like the Republican presidential nominee himself. “My assessment of the Dukakis campaign is like that old song, ‘Why is Everybody Always Picking on Me?’,” Mr. Coleman said, addressing about a half-dozen residents and Republican Party supporters on the Courthouse lawn on Sept. 15. He told them that his son had summed up the Democratic nominee’s situation better than anyone else: “Dukakis isn’t telling anyone where he stands, so George Bush is doing it for him.” And, Mr. Coleman added, “When Michael Dukakis says that he’s going to do for the United States what he has done for Massachusetts, that’s not a promise — that’s a threat!” Mr. Coleman laced into the Massachusetts governor as “a man very much of a different age — not from, the ’80s. He’s a leftover from the ’60s.” Mr. Dukakis, he said, “is soft on crime, weak on defense, permissive on drugs and high on taxes. He is opposed to traditional values.” He assailed Mr. Dukakis’s position on defense issues as “naive.” Mr. Coleman pointed out that the world is a different place than it used to be — that the system of American overseas military bases, in place for many years, “isn’t working as well as before.” A Reagan Administration ^proposal for two new aircraft carrier task forces, which Mr. Dukakis opposes, are necessary substitutes for those bases, Mr. Coleman maintained. And, he added, since they would be built in Virginia it would mean jobs for the state. “He is extremely naive in foreign policy. If the nuclear freeze which he supported had been in effect we never could have negotiated the INF (Intermediate Nuclear Forces) treaty,” Mr. Coleman said, repeating a Bush campaign theme. He pointed to the recent Soviet agreement to withdraw from Afghanistan as another example of how a strong, conservative American leadership had faced down the Russians. Addressing the Virginia political scene, Mr. Coleman said, “I’m prepared to predict that we will elec® a Republican congressman from tke Seventh District.” The incumbent, D. French Slaughter Jr., is running unopposed for the seat. Of Maurice Dawkins, the Republican nominee for the Senate seat being vacated by Paul Trible, Mr. Coleman said, “the lesson of 1988 will be that no one is unbeatable.” The Democrats, he added, have fielded “a very beatable candidate” in former Gov. Charles Robb. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Haller GREETING THE VOTERS, Marshall Coleman talks with Ron Frazier (left) and Bob Ingle before speaking to the group on the Courthouse lawn. He conceded, however, that Mr. Dawkins’s biggest handicap is that he is not well known. And, Mr. Coleman added. Senate Minority Leader Robert Dole of Kansas recently said that the key to the Senate is in the Virginia seat — that the future of Republican hopes to gain a majority in that body rests on who wins Sen. Trible’s seat. “We need the Senate,” Mr. Coleman said. “President Bush will be handicapped if he doesn’t have [control of] the Senate.” .A*kfed how the demagogy so much a part of the national campaign so' far might affect local elections, Mr. Coleman agreed that most people look past party labels when voting for state and local candidates. “But,” he maintained, “it’s beginning to dawn on people that Republican philosophies make more sense to people at a local level as well as at the national level.” And, he said, the election of a Democratic candidate, even on the local level, “gives rise to part of that party’s power structure." Turning to the hot subject of the political year, Mr. Coleman said that what is needed to stem the-tide of See COLEMAN, p. 15 h'lzATl ’RING \U10HL\S C\1W\GE HIDES PMMETTOSHAHPSHOOTEHS iachhwahemamimimi oKWCEiniSHULOUIEJis (HtfTI )BH ASTRA JT< AS EYI 1/HJTS .ajvieri mnnoiuxt; AK7EYHIJU IS h ISA HIDES (iLASSHU miv; OBK ASTKATK AS U\ tC()(\TH) ( k WEI.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 29.1988 Editorial Foolishness Foolishness. That’s a strong word. But strong words are what Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham used last week w hen he attacked Rappahannock County’s land use controls. And foolishness is what we think Col. Bingham’s suggestions are. They are only the latest in a series of proposals to gut the county’s restrictions on land use, but they come from someone who should know better. We don’t doubt Col. Bingham’s sincerity in representing those residents who he feels are oppressed by restrictive controls on land use. But we question his judgment in advocating that all controls be swept aside and anyone be allowed to do whateves they want with their land — subject only to Health Department approval of septic systems and wells. There is no doubt that restrictive zoning is unfair, in the sense that people of limited means are often left with fewer options — or no options — while those with more money and land are able to bring their dreams to fruition. That is often the case — and not just in zoning matters. But that is no reason to ride roughshod across the county’s land use regulations — ordinances which were carefully crafted over several years, and were brought to public hearings in each of the county’s five magisterial districts. They were the subject of bitter divisions at the time, and obviously some residents are still dissatisfied. But the ordinances do, in fact, protect all the county’s residents. Unrestrained development would bring requests for increased services. What would be the effect on those residents of limited means if their tax bills suddenly included appropriations for paid fire and rescue personnel to protect large subdivisions plopped somewhere in the Castleton area — which is now protected by a volunteer department? Amissville too, is a logical target for developers, convenient as it is to Warrenton and 1-66. Would the residents in a large subdivision there be content with taking their trash to the county landfill, or would they demand public garbage collection? And what would happen if the several hundred tiny lots in Chester Gap’s Blue Ridge Estates could be developed? There’s not a prayer that private water and septic would be sufficient. How would the.county’s small.-landowners feel about paying for a water system and sewerage plant for that development? And, there is no denying that all the county’s landowners — both large and small — have benefited from the 38 percent average increase in value of residential property in the past three years. According to Planning District 9, that is second only to Fauquier County in the five-county district. That appreciation in values would not have happened without zoning protections. Look at rural counties to the west with lax, or no, ordinances. Properties there are not worth anything close to what similar parcels in Rappahannock bring. we wonder it those small landowners would be willing to sacrifice the increased value of their properties for the freedom of relaxed land use controls. Supervisor Bingham also cited figures — from a study done in 1975 using data compiled prior to that date — which showed that nearly one-third (31 percent) of the county’s residents make less than $10,000 a year. According to PD 9, in 1987 the median family income in Rappahannock County was $25,826, up 53 percent since 1979 when it was $16,878. It is also incumbent upon an elected official to have some knowledge of the laws which he is opposing. Col. Bingham has repeatedly asserted that the individual and his circumstances should be the deciding factor in whether a zoning request is granted. That is a commendable display of humanity, but an appalling interpretation of law. Under the state’s enabling legislation, zoning decisions must be based on the land. There must be no consideration of personal circumstances. Indeed, successful challenges to zoning decisions have been mounted based on arguments that the ruling was influenced by personal considerations in favor of, or against, the individuals involved. For better or worse, zoning law must be applied blindly. That’s what led to Mrs. Doares’ dilemma, and though we sympathize with her plight we support the county in its decision to deny her original request. We also applaud the responsible officials of this county, who have apparently worked out a solution which can be applied evenly and fairly while still leaving room for those situations which don’t quite fit the parameters. _ Rappahannock News photo/Lou Haller Rappahannock Heritage COOL FALL MORNINGS leave mist hanging on the fields outside Washington. Letters to the editor Living proof: seat belts work! To the editor: To buckle or not to buckle up one’s seat belt remains a question for some drivers. I found the answer when a tractor-trailer hit the left side of our car during a heavy rain storm on Aug. 29 at New Baltimore near Warrenton. Our car spun around, tipped over onto the driver’s side, and went bouncing down a steep slope. A small tree halfway down stopped the action. Our buckled-up seat belts held us in place! Three people came running down the slope. They helped me out of the passenger side of our car and back up the poison-ivy covered slope to the highway. My husband, Col. John W. Skelton was injured and trapped in the car. The first to arrive were the New Baltimore Volunteer Fire Department, a State police officer, the New Baltimore Garage wrecking truck, and a Warrenton Volunteer Rescue Squad ambulance. The heavy morning traffic was stopped. Whith complete confidence, I stood watching these highly trained professional fire and rescue volunteers. They secured our car with cables so that it would not roll down the rest of the hill. While they discussed plans for extrication, my husband was examined, an IV started, and he was protected from possible spinal injuries. Other cars were involved in our accident. Two more unrelated accidents had occurred. Rescue assistance also was provided by units from Gainesville, Haymarket, Vint Hill Fire Department and Warrenton’s three ambulances and their squad truck. Most of us were taken to the . Fauquier Hospital Emergency Room. Dr. L. Bruther and his staff had a busy afternoon with our exams, X-rays, etc. Even so, a quiet friendly atmosphere and a sincere regard for each injured person was evident and appreciated by us all. Fortunately, my husband has only a separated shoulder, a cracked rib, and assorted bruises while I have a more extensive array of contusions decorated with poison ivy rash. The next day, friends brought us back to the New Baltimore Garage to pick up personal effects left in our totally wrecked blue Thunderbird and then back to Madison to buy a red Thunderbird. We deeply appreciate each person’s contribution to our rescue and recovery. We are grateful that Fauquier Hospital was nearby. For sure, we are living proof that buckling up seat belts can save lives! DOROTHY G. S. SKELTON Brightwood Prompt action lauded To the editor: On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, I wish to thank the various fire companies of Rappahannock County who responded to the smoldering trash fire at the Amissville dumpster site on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The prompt actions taken by the Amissville Company and the support offered by Washington, Castleton, Sperryville and Flint Hill helped to keep an unfortu nate situation from becoming very serious indeed. Thanks are also due to the Culpeper County Fire Departments which “covered” the area while our companies were engaged. Again, to everyone involved, many thanks for a job well done. JOHN W. MCCARTHY County Administrator Plants profit from PCs Greenhouses have joined the computer revolution with a system that regulates sunlight, ventilation and temperature through a portable personal computer. Agricultural engineers at the University of Nebraska have developed a system of software and sen sors that use a computer to control the environment in an alpine-style greenhouse. Sensors monitor sunlight, air temperature and soil temperature every three minutes. The computer can open and close windows, fire up a furnace or activate soil-warming devices to keep temperatures from getting too hot or too cold. Prophecy on target To the editor: The poems, pictures, and I Ching of the hexagrams of the Tui Pei T'u, an ancient Chinese prophecy written after the Nestorians brought Christ to China, provide a year by year prophecy for the present. Years ago I wrote down my understanding of 1987’s hexagram: “The long-awaited RAPTURE takes place. Death is overcome by many of those who have achieved perfection of the spirit by living a life of action in accordance with God’s Will—they are translated by supernatural beings directly into heaven. This is the start of a trend in spiritual development in which increasing numbers find release from mortal existence in the manner written of by the Apostle Paul (II Thess. 4:17).” Christians believe they will be Raptured en masse rather than translation being the end of a perfect earth-life. But Jesus left a standard of perfection (or guidelines, if you will) for everyone: turning the other ) cheek, giving to all who ask, lending without requiring repayment. Perfect people could even now be disappearing without making an obvious dent in the population or even in Sunday’s congregation. I thought I had missed on this one until recent news stories told that fundamentalist interpreters of prophecy slated the Rapture for this year. Pretty close. .. . Divinely inspired moral evolution will insure that eventually death will be overcome by everyone (Rev. 21:4), because we are all siblings in the TVinity Family of God! PETER B. HOLLEY Boston & Honolulu, HI. The best judges To the editor: George Bush is trying hard to convince us that Michael Dukakis has not been a highly successful governor. Who are the best judges of this? The nation’s governors, Democrats and Republicans together, selected Dukakis as the most effective governor in the United States. The people of Massachusetts elected him to his third term as governor by 68.7 percent of the vote. MARY B. COOK Madison. Remember To the editor: Most of you have probably received your tax bills by now. Just remember that development brings higher taxes. Development automatically requires more services, which you will pay for. Don’t let anyone fool you! It’s really as simple as that — ask anyone from away from here. SUSAN C.

r Op - Ed Good health and safe work are solid partners on farms BY TOMMY WILLIAMS Extciuion Agent, Agriculture Agriculture ranks among the top industries in number of accidental deaths and injuries per 100.000 workers. One reason is that farmers lack safety specialists on site who could train workers, be sure shields are in place, and insist that everyone read and heed labels and information manuals. Every farmer must be his or her own safety director. Some fanners do not do this well. Occupational illnesses also receive inadequate attention. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, agriculture ranks highest of all major industries in such illnesses, with a rate of 42 per 10,000 workers. Skin diseases and related disorders, as in other industries, were the most common such illnesses. ’ Here are some ways that farmers artd farmworkers can preserve safety and health: • Be prepared, capable, and adequate for the job or activity. Avoid work or activities that entail risk or require a certain level of ability if you are untrained, inexperienced, or not up to it physically or mentally. • If you are taking prescription drugs that affect ability to work or drive safely, consult your doctor. He may adjust dosage or switch you to another medicine with fewer side effects. If an over-the-counter remedy affects you, stop taking it and consult a doctor if the problem persists. • Read and follow directions and recommendations in instruction manuals and on product labels or containers. You must know how to use products properly to minimize risk. Consult your dealer if instructions are not clear. • Be prepared for medical emergency, especially if you live away from medical facilities or could be cut off, in case of bad weather. Know first aid, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich manuever (for choking), which can let you assist an injured or ill person until professional help arrives. r Perspective FORMED IN 1S33 FROM CUIPEPE! AND NAMED FOR MRm^ river IN THIS £«“*"• • Develop an emergency plan that includes ways to communicate distress to fellow workers, your house, or a neighbor; for example, two-way radios and prearranged visual signals, such as flashing lights or arms gestures. Let people know where you’ll be working, what you’ll be doing, and when to expect you back. If something doesn’t seem right, such as a rig that has not moved for sometime, check it out. • Post emergency names and numbers by each telephone, including the number of your poison control center and a reliable neighbor. Teach youngsters how to call for help. • Develop and practice a home fire escape plan which provides for at least two exits from every room. Install smoke detectors or alarms. • Keep a first aid kit on your tractor and combine and in work areas such as the farm shop Or milking parlor. Take care of minor injuries promptly. • Stock your medicine cabinet with first aid materials and medications. Lock the cabinet or make medicines otherwise inaccessible if you have small children or when grandchildren visit. Check the cabinet to remove old or outdated materials and leftover prescriptions. • If a family member or worker has heart trouble, diabetes, or another health problem that could bring about sudden disability, make sure you and others on the farm know what to do if that person becomes ill. • Attend training classes in first aid, CPR, defensive driving, and safe machinery’ operation. Keep up to date through reading and refresher courses. Encourage youth to take part in school, 4-H, and Future Farmers of America safety and health projects. Encourage others to work safely. Eating and drinking the right things in moderation will contribute to life-long good health and ability to work, drive, and play safely. Proper nutrition can provide the energy farmpeople need for long workdays and time with family and friends. Nutritionists recommend that we eat a balanced diet in the amount of each of us needs for our individual requirements. Hardworking farmers need to eat a good breakfast and need to take periodic breaks with or without refreshment to fight fatigue and drowsiness. Eating candy bars and sugary drinks can result in “sugar blues” (momentary rise in blood sugar then quick drop as body signals for extra insulin to metabolize the sugar). Farmers would do better to eat fresh fruit or snacks with complex carbohydrates that are absorbed more slowly and keep blood sugar stable.

An oft-missing virtue By JOHN BOKGENS Kappahanmn k News Contributing Writer Integrity. It's a word that is too often left out of people’s vocabularies. YVhat does it mean? It is an adherence to a moral code, incorruptabilitv, the state of being complete or undivided. It is a synonym for honesty. Have you ever met someone who was completely grounded in their values and morals? They seem at ease with themselves, and unafraid to stand up for what they believe. They speak their mind, even when their opinion goes against the popular view. These are the people whom others seem to naturally trust. There is never a question of confidentiality when sharing deep, personal concerns. There is no discomfort when discussing money because you know their value system and their high regard for honesty. You’d think that integrity would be a value which everyone aspires to. Yet many people fall short. Perhaps it is because they lack a moral and ethical basis for making day to FAmiLV FOCUi day decisions, or because it is hard not to just “go with the flow" or follow the path of least resistance. Most people are articulate when talking about their value system. But it’s usually much easier to talk about things than to actually put them to practice. It is also easy to explain away shortcomings, or to make excuses for why we didn’t make the choice that - deep down inside - we know we should have made. Adults struggle with this problem, just the same as do adolescents. When it comes to peer pressure, it’s just as difficult for grown-ups as it is for young people to do what is right rather than what everyone else is doing. In today’s world, especially, the choices are often difficult. The emphasis seems, too often, on always wanting to feel good. People often go to great lengths to avoid discomfort: be it physical, mental or emotional. The unfortunate result is that people end up never having their own opinion. They agree with everyone else, even when they know in their heart that it’s wrong. It leads to people always being followers, and never speaking out as a leader. Integrity is a quality not easily acquired. It requires honesty - even in the face of intense pressures to compromise and just slide by.

Jesse Winchester in concert on Oct. 14 Fans of the enduring singer and songwriter Jesse Winchester will have an extremely rare chance to see him in an intimate setting (and at Rappahannock prices!) on Friday, Oct. 14 at the Gay St. Theater in Washington. Mr. Winchester, a Tennessee native, makes his home in Montreal and has toured only occasionally since 1977. Even then, he was a veteran, discovered in the late 1960’s by The Band’s Robbie Robertson after his move to Canada. Mr. Robertson, a Canadian who had fallen in love with the South, found the unassuming young singer in a local coffeehouse and later produced his first record, along with Levon Helm on drum and mandolin and Todd Rundgren as engineer. The intelligence, humor and love of Southern blues caught the attention of critics. Rolling Stone called Mr. Winchester the most important new artist of the ’70’s. As the decade progressed disco overshadowed the more innovative musicians, but Mr. Winchester still appealed to rythym and blues fans. Joan Baez, Jonathan Edwards, JimmyBuffet and the Everly Brothers recorded Mr. Winchester’s songs, and he has made eight well-received albums. The last, Humor Me, was released in May. Mr. Winchester, presented by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, is able to appear at the small Washington theater because of his engagement at The Birchmere the next night. Advance tickets for his concert cost $7.50 at The Village Cafe, Washington; Burke’s Store, Woodville; Faith Mountain Company, Sperryville; Royal Oak Bookstore, Front Royal; Culpeper Music Center; or Picture This Gallery in Warrenton. According to a RAAC spokesman, very early sales suggest that this event will be Q sell-out, so advance tickets are recommended^ Any remaining will be sold at the door the night of the concert, for $8.50. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14. Wakefield Homecoming Oct. 8 Wakefield School in Huntly, will celebrate Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 8 with a full day of activities.

In fact, according to National Wildlife magazine, insects that are knocked into lakes and streams by wind and rain attract insect-eating fish, such as bluegills and bass, luring them closer to the surface. Raindrops also disturb the surface of the water, making it more difficult for the fish to see the fishermen.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan MARKING THE 201ST ANNIVERSARY of the signing of the United States Constitution, Washington Mayor Dean Morehouse signs a proclamation which designated Sept. 17-23 as Constitution, Week. Members of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter NSDAR look on, (from left) Flag Chairman Louise Eastham, Regent Helen Fairfax, and Historian Neecee Lane. DAR presents video BY DORIS C. LONGLEY Chairman Publicity Committee The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at the Culpeper United Methodist Church, Mrs. Douglas Fairfax, Regent, presiding. The program • was presented by Mrs. John S. Board, Chairman of Constitution Week, and was entitled “Worth Fighting for—Virginia Ratification of the Constitution,” a video-program moderated by James J. Kilpatrick. The State of Virginia, the key player in the Constitution ratifica, tion, held a convention in Williamsburg, with Judge Pendleton presiding, to thrash out whether or j. not a Bill of Rights should be included. Patrick Henry opposed the ratification because he believed it endangered the rights of individuals and states. He and George Mason fought long and hard with James Madison and Edmund Randolph and on June ‘ 25, 1788, Virginia ratified the United States Constitution, the basic law of the country. And the first ten amendments to the Constitution became our Bill of Rights, basically proposed by James Madison. The video-program was engineered by David Yowell of Culpeper. Hostesses for the meeting were Mrs. John H. McDevitt and Mrs. John T. Dailey. It was announced that on Oct. 2, 1988, 2 p.m., Mrs. Philip Brewer, representing the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, and Miss Mary Reed Bruce, representing the Colonial Dames, will participate in the marking of Mrs. Eunice D. Waugh in Unionville Cemetery. Mrs. James F. Harkness, Chairman, National Defense Committee, in her report, encourages everyone to vote in the November presidential election. Mr. John S. Board further announced that she, to inform the people of Constitution Week, has sent editorials to 52 Clubs and 25 Churches; will have spot announcements on public radio and in schools; is encouraging public display of the United States flag; and will have the message flashing from Second National Bank’s marquee.

Casseroles — the one dish meal BY SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Affent. Home Economics Decades of tossed-together combinations of canned soups and leftover meat and vegetables have given casseroles a less than desirable reputation. Yet the concept of a one-dish meal with little effort and lots of flavor seems so well suited to the '80s kitchen that it’s worth reviving. Maybe no one is looking for an update of the old tuna-noodle team, but the casserole can be a great option for anyone with more imagination than time. C asserole cookery probably dates to the very first covered clay pots. The word comes from the French and refers as much to the utensil as to the technique which cookbooks of some years past explain as slow oven-cooking in a tightly covered, fairly deep dish. Some of the great peasant dishes around the world from rotatouille to jambalaya are essentially casseroles. Until they deteriorated into something distasteful in this country', casseroles were the standby of countless company dinners and communtiy covered-dish suppers. None of their attributes have lessened over the 40 years or so since they really came into vogue. They’re quick and easy to make, especially in advance. They can also be varied in dozens of ways and cooked in almost any type of dish—ceramic, metal, or clay. Best of all, casseroles can be the ultimate convenience food. A casserole assembled the night before can go straight from the refrigerator to the oven. Add bakery bread and a simple salad for an impressive meal with no struggle. From the 1940s to the 1960s, casserole cookbooks were as popular as pasta guides of today. Healthwise. it is important to avoid using too many canned soups in casseroles. Not only do they make casseroles heavy and glutinous, they contain large quantities of sodium which can bring about an increase in blood pressure. Fresh ingredients of any variety make them seem lighter and more interesting and, in some cases, more nutritious. Cheese is usually indispendable in casseroles, and the new types available in many supermarkets can add intriguing flavor. Instead of using the old familiar Cheddar and Parmesan, try Brie, Chevre, Monterey Jack, Fontina, and Gruyere. If kitchen creativity still doesn’t make a casserole fit for company, try calling it something else. Restau rants do it all of the time. Tuna am mushrooms might be irresistible i presented as a “torte” or “cassou let". Here are a few casserole recipes that might spark the kitchen creativ ity. Sausage and Polenta Casserole Makes about 6 servings. 2 T. olive oil 1 small onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups tomato puree 1 tsp. fennel seed 1/2 tsp. oregano Pinch of hot red pepper flakes 4 cups water 1 cup coarse-ground yellow cornmeal 1 USDA Choice Beef Boneless SIRLOIN STEAK Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, October 2, 1988.

These five girls from Rappahannock County Elementary School learned first hand of the bay’s fragile ecology, what can be done to protect it and the economic and environmental consequences if that protection isn’t achieved.

Jim Christiano’s , HERITAGE AUTO PARK 250 W. Shirley Ave. Warrenton 703-347-3341 Metro 273-6270 Dir. #6840 as director of secondary education in Northampton County. This year, Northampton invited some of Dr. Gangel's new charges from Rappahannock to attend the camp. Rappahannock had a cabin-full with the five girls and chaperone/instructor Patty Waddell, biology teacher at the high school. Parents and teachers were effusive in their praise of Dr. Gangel — both for having started the program and for his efforts toward having Rappahannock students accepted for the residency this year. “It’s a good program. It definitely should be continued. We learned so much,” affirmed Karen Moore. "And ice should all go again next year!" added Kelly Lawler, to the assenting nods of the rest of the quartet. Ask them what they did that was special and the answers come tumbling one upon the other. "We made duck decoys. We collected shells (on Wallops Island Barrier and Assateague Beach) and we learned how to indentify some of them." Shannon reported. "We learned about the different fish in the bay and the different birds. We learned what people can do to prevent pollution," added Kelly. “We went out on the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s boat and we learned how to do different water tests, like for salinity, turbidity and Ph. And we took bottom samples,” said Karen. “It smelled horrible!” interjected Jessica, wrinkling her nose. "Like rotten eggs,” Shannon explained. And they had plenty of time to identify the odor: “We went walking in the marsh and we had a marsh muck fight! We had it up to our knees." They trawled with nets off the Sequoia, bringing up the bay’s famous blue crabs, a flounder, stinging nettles, comb jelllies, horseshoe crabs, a spider crab, sea cucumbers and sea pork. That last is “slime stuff like fat,” according to Shannon. They visited Tangier, an island two hours by ferry into the bay. Billed as the soft shell crab capital of the world, Tangier’s economy was once based entirely on this seafood delicacy. More recently, however, tourists have discovered the onceisolated community where the police ride bicycles and the people speak in Elizabethan accents, so Tangier now has bed-and-breakfast inns and a multitude of gift shops, a development which didn’t pass unnoticed by the young ladies from RCES. But they did also remark on the seafood industry. “We held real live soft shell crabs!” reported Jessica. And they had an opportunity to show they’d learned their conservation lessons. They’d just finished listening to'the manager of a crab house explain how pollution was threatening the bay’s shellfish and crab harvests when they saw a worker finish his cup of coffee and then toss the empty styrofoam container right into the water. The RCES bay protectors immediately reported the miscreant, and they’re certain that after a tongue lashing from the boss, he’s one former litterer who will go and pollute no more. Other activities included canoe trips up Messongo Creek and on Swan’s Gut, where habitat goes from fresh water to salt water, and visits to the Marine Science Lab at Onancock and the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge. There were the traditional afternoon games and evening charades See BAY, p. 15 Panthers shine in X-C, soccer, girls * struggle on basketball court The Rappahannock County High School has three fall sports in full swing, and the Panthers are hot on the cross-country trails and the soccer field. The girls basketball team has had less success, but Coach Renee Dingus still expressed satisfaction with the team’s efforts. In a tri-meet against Brentsville and George Mason on Monday, Coach Scott Mellott said that the Panther harriers nearly ran the other two teams off the course at Brentsville. The team “took a big win,” Coach Mellott said, placing six runners in the top ten. The final total put Rappahannock over the Brentsville Tigers by 28 points, and over George Mason by 47 points. Placing first overall in the meet was Panther Matt Eidson, followed by teammate Steve Lillard in second place and Jesse Reynolds in fourth. The Panthers top finish was rounded out with senior Harvey Fox in fifth place, Vincent Grigsby in eighth, and Dan Hermann in tenth place. “I was just as happy as I could be,” Coach Mellott said of the team’s performance Monday. “We were all way up.” He lauded the performance of his young runners over what he called a difficult course, longer than the regulation length for a high school cross-country course. Coach Mellott called his team “very strong - for everyone being so young . . . The team is just starting to get into form. The next four weeks should be a good four weeks,” the coach predicted. On Saturday, the Rappahannock harriers travel to Charlottesville for the University of Virginia Invitational meet, which will be held at Piedmont Community College, on Rt. 20 just south of Charlottesville. The Panthers’ heat begins at 4:30 p.m., and Coach Mellott said he is hoping for a good performance from his squad. Soccer team The Panthers soccer team is off to a hot start as well, according to Coach Richard Dietz. After four games, Mr. Dietz said Tuesday that the team’s record of 3-1 already surpasses past performances. “The team is playing very well together,” Coach Dietz said. “Our exchange students are fitting in well,” and he credited their expertise for spurring the team’s success. “I’m very pleased with the way that the team is playing.” So far, the Panthers have defeated St. Anne’s 4-2, Madison County High School 41, Eastern Mennonite b-3, but was shut out by George Mason, 4-0.

The two found themselves right up front on Monday, finishing in first: and second place, respectively, in a tri-meet against Brentsville ; and George Mason. loss to George Mason, Coach Dietz said, “was certainly not indicative of the type of game this team can play.” Girls basketball struggles Unfortunately, the Panther girls basketball team have not met with the same success on the courts. The team is 0-7, Coach Renee Dingus said Tuesday, before travelling to Manassas Park for a game that night. But, Coach Dingus noted that the team “has lost the last four games by a total of 10 points.” And in several contests, the Panthers have held their usually high-scoring opponents to less than their average per game. “It's been right down to the' wire," Coach Dingus said, citing last week's game against Clarke County as an example. They were 8-1) going into the game, she said, and averag- ! ing 58 points per game. "Although i. we lost 45-25, we held them to 45 j points, 14 less than their average.” • The Panther defense. Coach i Dingus concluded, "is doing a super ' job - but we need work on our of- ; fense." Though the team is holding ' down their opponents total points, ; the Panthers have yet to produce enough points of their own to bring • home a win. Adult education at RCHS The Rappahannock County High School has announced that it will sponsor an expanded program of adult education classes this fall.

County girls represent Girl Scouting Five girls from Rappahannock County got an unexpected invitation recently: a request from the national headquarters for the Girl Scouts of America to represent Scouting at a ceremony at the Department of Interior in Washington, D. C. On Sept. 16, Ariele Foster, Hollyann Gangel, Jerri Mallory, Fran Overdorf, and Tracy Swift, along with adult leaders Kathryn Gangel and Mary Jane Swift, went to D. C. to represent the country’s girl scouts at the signing of a memorandum of understanding by Secretary of the Interior Donald Hodel. The memorandum, which reflects the common goals and priorities of public and private groups, and which recognizes the efforts of the “Take Pride in America” program, was signed by Secretary Hodel, G. S. A. President Betty Pilsbury, and G. S. A. National Executive Director Frances Hesselbein. The five Rappahannock Girl Scouts also had an opportunity to talk with Secretary Hodel about his job and the different functions of the Department of the Interior. The Secretary also presented the girls and their leaders with “Take Pride in America” pins and gave them a tour of his office. Before heading home to Rappahannock County, the group also visited the Dept, of Interior’s museum, the Viet Nam Veterans’ Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.

RLEP's experts offer important pieces of conservation policy “If the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection stands for anything at all, it is for local people finding practical and far-sighted ways to preserve the irreplaceable value of the resources we share — our historic towns and villages, open space and scenic vistas, and farmland, streams and forests,” said RLEP president David Chuse as he issued an open invitation to attend a special public program offered Friday, Sept. 30 by Piedmont Virginia’s senior conservation organization. For the meeting, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse in Washington, RLEP will bring three experts to offer advice on preparing for the pressures of growth . “You can’t do too much advance planning on outside development/ maintained Bob Lee, Clarke Counfy administrator and RLEP’s featured speaker. “Developers who come into the county from elsewhere are different animals from the local people who put in a few lots here and there.” And with outside development interests buying large pieces of Rappahannock property, Mr. Lee’s message is a timely one. He’s one of Virginia’s recognized experts in rural conservation. Since coming to Clarke a decade ago, Mr. Lee has moved the little agriculturally-based county to the front of the environmental preservation ranks. His vision is apparent in his choice of thesis for a master’s degree in planning and regional analysis from Cornell University: Alternative Strategies for Acquisition amt Preservation of Permanent Open Space. “I think that’s what got me the job," he joked. With Mr. Lee at the helm, Clarke has taken giant strides toward the inter-related goals of resource protection and development controls. The county was the first in Virginia to enact sliding scale zoning, a development rights allocation system that precludes large-scale subdivision of rural land. The General Assembly was persuaded to pass enabling legislation for ground water protection, giving Clarke County the authority to enact tougher well standards than the state’s. “Counties like Loudoun have the capability of doing wonderful plans but because of the complexity of the issues there and the number of different actors involved, implementation of the plans is difficult,” Mr. Lee said. “In Rappahannock and Clarke, we’re much less sophisticated. The process is much simpler. And although we might not be right every time, we get things done!" Looking at both sides Michael S. Congleton, the second of RLEP’s featured speakers, knows first hand of development pressures and how developers think. As acting director of planning for the town of Vienna and zoning administrator for first Stafford and then Loudoun and Prince William counties and now assistant to the zoning administrator for Fairfax, he’s seen the problems associated with rapid urbanization. He was also project engineer for Christopher Consultants, Inc., one of Northern Virginia’s best and busiest development engineering firms. Mr. Congleton left that job to work again for what he calls “the guys in white hats” — the planning and zoning departments of local government — but his background gives him a unique perspective on both sides of growth and development issues. Saving open space To lead off the agenda for the Sept. 30 meeting, Robert Dennis, RLEP board member and president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, will briefly outline the progress of the open space preservation program in Rappahannock County. Admission to the 7:30 meeting at the courthouse in Washington is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Bay Continued from Page 12 and treasure hunts and other fun events not so usual. The girls cheered their entry in the camp’s crab races to a first place finish, winning a few more minutes of life for Foogle, who as champion went last into the pot for the crab feast. They also helped prepare and then dined on shark, squid, snail, crab, caviar and more at the seafood sampler. According to Jessica, it was a total immersion experience. “First, we dissected the squid. We pulled out its backbone and after we popped the ink sack, we used the backbone and the ink to write with. Then we took part of the squid and cooked it. It’s gross to think about, but when you’re eating it, it tastes pretty good.” However, they drew the line at Macaroni and Cheese. Those were the names they gave to the two periwinkles they brought back from the marsh mucking hunt for marsh life. Others among the 25 boys and girls at the TAG school ate their finds. Shannon noted — “ we let ours go. ” But only after they’d played with the little snails for a while. “If you let them crawl up your arm, they leave a trail of slime!” Karen giggled with an “Oh! Gross!” shiver. At night, after stargazing from the docks, singing around the campfire, telling ghost stories and putting on skits for the staff, the campers wrote or drew in the journals they kept as part of the program. The journals are to be compiled into a camp annual that will let the kids relive the week they spent on the* bay. As for the girls from Rappahannock, there are two parts they want to forget and would just as soon cut from the annual. First, the bugs: “I counted 50 mosquito bites on one leg between my knee and my ankle,” Karen reported. Second, the fish print. "We painted a dead fish different colors and then pressed it on a piece of paper,” Shannon explained. “It was sick!” Kelly interjected. "Mine started bleeding and its eye kind of came out,” added Karen. And Jessica volunteered: “I didn’t do it. I didn’t want to touch a dead fish!” All confirm that they have not eaten fish since returning; all say their meal of choice is anything but seafood. They also have a proposal for bringing kids from the Eastern Shore to the mountains and a summer TAG program on farming, farm animals and the wildlife and plant life of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Being the only campers not conversant with the Chesapeake, the girls from RCES got teased: “They’d say, ‘You people from the mountains probably don’t know what this is; this is a fish,’, or ‘You people from the mountains probably won’t recognize this; it’s a boat.’ ” Kelly complained. The girls now want a fair play turnaround and the chance to go from newcomers at the shore to know-it-alls in the orchards, fields and forests of Rappahannock. "Yeh,” concluded Shannon, “lots of them have never even seen a cow!” Coleman Continued from page 3 drug abuse “is politicians willing to crusade and polarize Virginians against users.” We have laws on the books which will punish offenders, he said, “but name a time when the Governor of Virginia has focused the powers of his office on this problem.” Questioned as to how increased enforcement, including mandatory jail sentences will be funded, Mr. Coleman replied, “With the taxpayers’ money.” This country, he said, has made a lot of progress. “But it will all come to nothing if young people see their lives destroyed. “What we are talking about is our future. I am confident that the people of Virginia are willing to do what is necessary to defeat the greatest threat to this country.” Though he sounded much like a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination next >ear, Mr. Coleman demurred on that question. “It’s not appropriate to talk about the ’89 campaign,” he said. “I am spending my time on the '88 campaign. But,” he added, “the principles which are at stake in 1988 will also be at stake in Virginia in 1989.” Refocusing on Mr. Bush he said simply, “Look at his record. There has never been a person better qualified for the Presidency.” And of Mr. Dukakis, Mr. Coleman added, “I’ve lived in Virginia all my life. I am convinced that if people knew his record they would never support him.” House tour Continued from page 3 mile south, home of Col. and Mrs. Stewart Willis. , Miss Ruby Jenkins’ Washington Museum and the Rappahannock Historical Society building will also be open this weekend.

Rt. 211 Continued from page 1 the five-day workshop in Fredericksburg w as not to examine the various projects for cost-savings alternatives but for the participants to "learn the skills of how to go about value engineering,” he said. The VDOT employees taking the short course do not necessarily represent the full range of disciplines required for the value process. “A lot of the people receiving this training have had no experience in design," Mr. Tumlin said, describing the workshop setting as “far from the climate for a full study. . .They don't have people who have the training to evaluate all aspects of design, location, or materials." In addition, the “bulk of the first part of the week is spent discussing value engineering principles," leaving the teams “limited time" for study of the actual projects assigned for their review, he said. "They do the best job they can" and the “state doesn't ignore" their findings but the recommendations are "taken in the context in which they were developed." Virginia's top FHVVA official added. The six or seven value engineering studies completed at these annual workshops are sent to key VDOT officials for response. “There are some things the department looks at and sees merit in and makes changes as a result Ibut] no one should expect the department to be able to use 100 percent of every recommendation from this project," Mr. Tumlin maintained, adding that the work is not done by people “with the greatest knowledge of design, materials and construction.” As to compliance with federal guidelines, "what we would expect VDOT to do is give very serious consideration to the recommendations” from the workshop exercises, Mr. Tumlin reported. . Has this been done with Route 211? "I think so," he replied. Involvement “pretty superficial" “Given what we have available” in the way of experience among the 40 participants in a value engineering workshop, "we do our best to separate the skills between the six or seven teams," said Bruce Lind, the engineer from the FHWA's Washington, D.C. offices who with VDOT's Steve Long taught the F redericksburg workshop. But the class make-up is often a limiting factor, he confirmed. And there are other limitations that affect the worth of the reports produced by the workshop teams. “Gathering information can be difficult," Mr. Lind noted. “We did arrange to have a telephone available so they could call if they had questions,” But often, the person with the answer is out, and with the deadline of week’s end, the teams may have to proceed with no answer, he explained. “They have to use what they have and use their best judgement." With six or seven projects being reviewed concurrently by the different teams, ‘Tm not intimately concerned with any of them," said Mr. Lind. “My involvement in any particular project is really pretty superficial. . .My function in the process is to explain value engineering and be sure that it’s being applied to the particular projects. With six or seven at once, I can't become personally involved and personally knowledgeable enough to say, ‘Yes, they covered everything,' or ‘No, they didn’t.' Whether all the recommendations are exactly right, I don't know,” said Mr. Lind, who is one of the FHWA representatives who met with members of Friends of Old Route 211, the group of Rappahannock residents who oppose the highway project. “It only makes sense to me” Don Askew was the resident engineer for the joint Fauquier-Rappahannock highway department residency for 15 years, leasing in 1987 to take the post of assistant district engineer for the Fredericksburg District. “I am as familiar with the Route 211 project as anyone in the state of Virginia,” said Mr. Askew in a telephone interview last week from his Fredericksburg office, noting that he was resident engineer for the improvement projects that brought the dual lanes (1) from Warrenton to Route 229 just east of Amissville, (2) through Amissville, and (3) from ,Amissville to Route 229, plus the project which put a boxed culvert at the Rediviva Bridge intersection where Route 622 turns north into Gid Brown Hollow. “It only makes sense to me” to complete the dual-laning to Sperryville, he said. “You’ve got the county’s two public schools on that stretch. You’ve got the Co-op. And for right or wrong, the county has put its commercial zoning there and designated that area for future commercial growth. I feel very strongly that it should be dual-laned. “Yes, I’m a highwray engineer and I build roads. That’s my job. But this goes beyond that,” said Mr. Askew, who is the recipient of the first — and only —Freedom of Information Award presented by Arundel Newspapers (which publishes the Rappahannock News) to the public official who most exemplifies the philosophy that public business should be conducted before the public and not behind the closed doors of an executive session. “I’ve fought that highway through the sun and through floods,” Mr. Askew continued. “That was our access for bringing in men and equipment to other parts of the county. The enhancement of that road would be an enhancement of the lifeline for Rappahannock County. “I’ve seen too many accidents on that road — bad accidents,” he said. Discounting the argument of opponents who say the dual-laning is not justified from a safety standpoint since Route 211 has seen fewer accidents ih.in the state average for two-lane roads, Mr. Askew maintained “if there’s just one, that’s one too many. . .Regardless of the money, safety is the reason why it should be dual-laned. We need to separate those opposing lanes of traffic,” Addressing the value engineering study, he reported that as “a rule of thumb, if you take out the right-of-way cost, it’s cheaper to build two new lanes than to rebuild existing lanes, the reason being the extensive traffic control measures that are required.” If lanes are closed while a hill is being shaved, for instance, “where’s the traffic going to go?” he asked, noting that this “extremely costly” factor was not taken into account in the value engineering exercise. “You can rebuild. You can make Route 211 a good tw'o-lane highway, but you’re still going to have opposing traffic six inches away. Safety,” he repeated. “That’s the reason it should be dual-laned. Safety is the true value of it.” Festival Continued from page 1 concede the passing of summer, there's plenty of outdoor activity planned and traffic will be detoured to allow room for those seeking a leisurely stroll down Main St. Although Main St. will be closed to through traffic, there is free parking available at That Sperryville Emporium as well as the Methodist and Baptist churches and several small lots located at various businesses around the town. The Apple Harvest Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine. There is no admission charge to any of the events sponsored by the business council. Festival highlights, activities and locations include: • The Palmetto Sharpshooters’ encampment at Springhouse Antiques on Main St. Civil War camp life will be recreated in “living history" both days, complete with the soldiers and their ladies — all in period costume. • Victorian carriage rides provided by Journey’s End Farm of Amissville. The rides leave from That Sperryville Emporium, which is also the place for pony rides, clogging demonstrations and live country music, as well as food from the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad. • Performance by country gospel singers at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Sperryville Exxon. • Orange County Cloggers at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Sperryville Antique Market, which will also offer craft demonstrations throughout the weekend. • The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department will have food and drink for sale on the lot between The Church Mouse and Faith Mountain Company, across from the Post Office on Main St. • Glassblowing demonstrations by Gid Brown Hollow’s Eric Kvames at Water Street Antiques. • Demonstrations by a violin maker, puppet shows both days at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., an apple toss, and an open pit for anyone who wants to toss a horseshoe at Carriage House Antiques. • Weaving demonstrations and face painting at Thornton Crossing. • Cider tours from Elmer’s Antiques. • Numerologist Nancy Gray at the House of Dried Flowers on Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. • Crafts in the making at Oldway, Virginia’s first industrial park for arts and crafts. • apple butter making and basket weaving at Country Manor. • Bronze-casting demonstrations by Joe Kellington at Country Home Antiques, The Annex, on Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Kellington does castings for two well-known sculptors, Joel Heatwole and Terrence C. Karselis. Country Home will also have homemade soup for tasting and Oriental carpets on display. Bingham Continued from page 1 According to Col. Bingham, real estate — and not agriculture or tourism — is Rappahannock’s biggest business. And he maintained that this business is unfairly constrained, citing as evidence statistics from Land Along the Blue Ridge: Ownership and Use of Land in Rappahannock County, Virginia, a U. S. Department of Agriculture economic research report prepared by Gene Wunderlich and published in 1975. It was based on census data compiled in the late 1960s and early 1970s. According to Col. Bingham, Mr. Wunderlich’s study found that 16 percent of the county’s residents own 77 percent of the land; of the remaining 84 percent, 65 percent own 25 acres or less, he said. And 31 percent of that 65 percent make less than $10,000 a year. Col. Bingham reported. “I’ve heard members of the Board of Supervisors say, ‘If they need more land [to meet the twoacre minimum lot size for a family division], let them buy it.’ They can’t afford to buy it!” the Jackson District representative contended, adding “I’m ashamed to be associated” with Rappahannock’s governing body. “Weve got to allow for natural growth from the residents of this county,” he insisted, saying that a 2.8 percent growth rate is necessary “to sustain a society.” If Rappahannock doesn’t permit residents to divide property for their children, then in 20 or 30 years, “you’re not going to recognize half the names in this county,” he told the Planning Commsisioners, adding that the newcomers also won’t recognize the names Massie, Fannon and Fletcher. In order to have a 2.8 percent natural growth rate, the provision for family subdivisions must be liberalized, Col. Bingham insisted, “and if you don’t want to rewrite it, I’ll be glad to rewrite it for you,” he said, adding that he has a friend, “someone from the National Security Council,” who will help him. As to the potential for abusing the family transfer exception to density requirements, those who use the provision to subdivide land for sale will be “no different from the big landowners who are selling land for $2,000 or $3,000 an acre while they’re being taxed at $250 an acre (through the use value assessment program),” Col. Bingham maintained. “It tears me up to see people (who must apply for a special exception) humbled and humilated because they only have two acres,” he said, calling for lot size for family transfers to be limited only by Health Department requirements. If such a change isn’t forthcoming, “if I don’t see a little more equity in the system, I will fight for a change in the form of government in this county,” Col. Bingham warned, adding “Gentlemen, I honestly feel you are in violation of the Constitution. “I love Rappahannock County. I don’t want to see it over-populated,” the Jackson District representative concluded. “But if you allow for natural growth, that precludes rapid development.” No reason for planning If Col. Bingham’s recommendations are accepted and blanket approval for family transfers given with the only limitation being a Landfill Continued from page 1 Currently, the administrator said, the landfill’s hours of operation are planned to be 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. It will be closed Thursday, but the Saturday hours are planned to accommodate those unable to get to the site on weekdays. At present, Mr. McCarthy said, the county’s timetable for cleanup, conversion and closure of the present dumpster sites depends on the delivery of new equipment to Com munity Trash. The closure of the Amissville dumpster site and conversion of Huntly and Scrabble to a large collection bin where residents can drive up and throw trash in should be completed by the first week in November. “That’s what we’re shooting for,” Mr. McCarthy said. He said that the Huntly site may have to be closed for several days to accomplish the cleanup and grading necessary' for the new system. That may be necessary at the Scrabble site as well, but possibly not because of the larger area there. In any event, Mr. McCarthy said, public notice of the county’s plans will appear in the Rappahannock News prior to any action. Eileen M.

Health Department permit for a septic field, then there’s no reason to have a Planning Commission and no purpose to planning because growth would occur unchecked, contended Phil Irwin. “Why should we be condemned to repeat the mistakes of Fairfax and Prince William?” he asked. As to liberalizing family transfer provisions with the goal of enabling the children of Rappahannock residents to make their homes in the county, “in most cases,” after a few years, “the family member no longer owns the little parcel created through the family subdivision exception,” Mr. Irwin said, maintaining that this density exception is often used as a means of circumventing subdivision controls. David Chuse challenged Col. Bingham’s contention that 2.8 percent growth is either necessary or desirable, saying that figure is “way more than needed to sustain a society.” “I resent somebody standing up and telling us we’re not doing our job when I was appointed to uphold the rules and regulations in here,” said Commissioner Bob Anderson, tapping his copies of Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances. ‘We have to go by what’s in here.” ‘Who makes them rules?” interjected Bobby Carter. The county’s land use regulations and comprehensive plan were adopted following extensive public hearings held in all five magisterial districts, noted Mike Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission. “I get calls from all over this county, from people in every magisterial district [complaining about zoning and subdivision restrictions],” Col. Bingham interjected. “There’s too much unhappiness in this county. . .We have to consider people’s hopes and aspirations. We have to take care of our own. We have to keep our own in the county!” The Planning Commission has struggled over changes to the family transfer provision, trying to make it equitable, countered Chairman A. Y. Stokes. “If we could write an ordinance that applies only to the natives of Rappahannock County that would be well and good, but I don’t think it would float legally,” he said. From a planning standpoint, natural growth is not the “random growth” that comes from allowing residents to subdivide lots for their children but rather it is the natural growth arising from development in and around existing towns and villages, Mike Massie said. Through its land use controls, the county seeks to channel small-lot development around towns and villages because (1) that’s where the services are and (2) that’s where future services can be most economically provided, he explained. In satisfying the state enabling legislation’s murky directive to facilitate family divisions, Fauquier County holds to its 10-acre minimum lot size in agricultural zones, while Clarke County merely waives re MOUNT VERNON REALTY INC. 221 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, Va. 22186 HUNTLY: 29.5 acres with exceptional views, elevated house site, long road frontage, lots of stone fencing, approximately 10 acres of hardwood, pasture for horses, rolling stream. $124,500.

Rappahannock on the other hand, is “trying to bend over backwards” with its five cuts by right and two-acre lot size, he said. “But even a limbo artist can only bend backwards so far, Colonel. . .If 7® allow the kind of random growthyou’re proposing in the countryside, we’ll wake up 50 years from now and this will be Fairfax. We have the right to be different. We have the right to be Rappahannock County,” said the Hampton District representative. “We struggled with this thing for six months,” noted Comissioner David Fannon, adding that in the absence of an alternative amendment which would give Mrs. Doares her family subdivision without opening the door to widespread parcelization, “we were ready to go to court over this. . .1 personally appreciate Mike Massie for coming up with this solution.” With no further discussion, the Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the ordinance amendments and then endorsed giving Mrs. Doares a special exception for a sixth family division from a lot of record as of 1962, finding unanimously that: • strict application of the zoning ordinance would result in undue hardship. • the hardship is not shared generally by other parcels belonging to the same parent tract. • granting of the permit would not be of substantial detriment to adjoining properties. • the density from the dvision will be in keeping with the density on other parcels deriving from the same parent tract. Also at Wednesday’s meeting, the Planning Commsisioners unanimously recommended (1) amending the original zoning proffer from Sheila O’Brien to allow two bed-andbreakfast rooms at the School House Restaurant, (2) amending the zoning ordinance to allow outdoor firing ranges by special exception in conservation and agricultural zones and indoor ranges by special exception in highway commercial and industrial zones, (3) issuing a special use permit to Mr. and Mrs. John H. Jenkins for construction of a family apartment on their property on Rt. 623, and (4) issuing a special use permit to Charles A. Wilson for an antique and gift shop in an agricultural zone, on his property on Rt. 522.
