Access cost now $45,000 DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer In the two years since plans were developed for making the courthouse — and the meetings of county and town government — accessible to handicapped people, building standards have changed, and the outside elevator that was okay then no longer meets federal regulations, County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors on Monday. “The changes in the ANSI Code make what we had proposed illegal. . .Now an outside elevator must be enclosed in a full metal jacket,” Mr. McCarthy said, adding this will put the cost of the elevator — exclusive of other building modifications — at $75,000, well over the $30,000 budgeted for the project. But in the good news category, the two-year delay in providing handicapped access has also seen the refinement of an electrically-powered chairlift which runs on two metal rails and won’t impinge on the stair width required by the state fire code, Mr. McCarthy reported. “This the standard,” he said, noting that the rail system is what is used irv Charlottesville’s courthouses. But the chairlift will also raise the cost of providing access above the $30,000 allocation in the 1988-89 budget, Mr. McCarthy said, estimating the rails with a necessary 90-degree turn will be about $25,000. “I’d like to see us move on with this thing,” despite the shortfall, said Supervisor Charles Estes. “I would, too,” added Chairman Hubert Gilkey, projecting the total cost, including the addition of a handicapped bathroom, ramp from the See ACCESS, p. 16 Ruling asked on library ownership Who owns the Rappahannock County Library? The Board of Trustees thinks it does, and its members have said that they plan to sell the old Presbyterian Church in Washington which now houses the library, to help pay for construction of a new building on two acres just beyond the town limits. But Col. E. P. Luke, former chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors and a former member of the library board, told the supervisors on Monday that he always thought the county owned the building. According to a deed dated April 25, 1960, the trustees of the County Free Library System of Rappahannock County purchased the Presbyterian Church lot for $2,600 and the trustees, “their successors and assigns,” hold title to the property. However, those trustees are named by the Board of Supervisors, which also provides financial support for the library, Col. Luke noted, pointing out that the library’s budget, including revenue from the state, the Friends of the Library and Rappahannock’s general fund, is approved by the supervisors as part of the overall county budget. “If the county doesn’t own it, how come it’s in the county budget?” And he raised the possibility that proceeds from the sale of the building would revert to the county, adding, “The law is ambiguous on this governmental relationship.” Dean Morehouse’s donation of the new library See LIBRARY, p. 16 Christmas, Colonial style WELCOMING THE HOLIDAY SEASON with carolling and a bonfire, Arthur Neufeld and his daughter Emily (above) enjoy the town’s celebration Saturday evening.

Rappahannock News phoio/Cindy Mahan Sheriff, Corrections Department urge kitchen addition for county's jail The county’s food services contract with the Hampton Inn expires in April 1989, and since the restaurant’s new owner is not interested in supplying meals to prisoners three times a day, 365 days of the year, Rappahannock’s supervisors are looking again at a kitchen addition for the jail. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, the Department of Corrections sees the option of using the school kitchens as a “temporary solution to a long-term problem.” In a Nov. 10 letter, Department of Corrections inspector Lavinia Johnson pointed to problems with keeping food serving, storage and ordering separate as reason for rejecting this alternative, which has been offered in very general terms by Superintendent David Gangel and the School Board. She questioned whether the school kitchen would be open in the evenings, on weekends and during summer vacation and holidays and asked how the meals would be transported from the school cafeteria to the jail. In her letter to Durwood Hill, supervisor for adult facilities, Ms. Johnson recommended that Rappahannock jail have its own in-house kitchen and that work towards this objective begin as soon as possible. She also noted that the State Department of Corrections had offered this same recommendation in May 1986. “I’m 100 percent against using the schools,” Sheriff John Henry Woodward told the supervisors on Monday. As with the current arrangement, deputies would have to stop other police work to “come clean back across the county to pick up meals,” he said. And prisoners complain of cold food when the jailer goes, carrying the meals from the Hampton Inn to the jail in the back of his pickup truck, the sheriff added. “I’ve done that only because I have no other way.” In addition, he said, jail food and school food would have to be kept separate. “Someone is going to have to answer for all the stuff, to sign for it. . .I’m going to have my personnel out there working in someone else’s kitchen.” And, he pointed out, the cooks would have to be paid staff since trustees couldn’t help at the schools. , Besides avoiding the logistical problems of moving the food, having a kitchen at the jail will eventually save money. Sheriff Woodward maintained. While the $3 per meal charge has been the same for the past three years, the total paid for food services has steadily escalated, going from $22,000 in 1985-86 to $25,000 in 198687, and to $32,000 last year. According to the Department of Corrections, if the Rappahannock jail has its own kitchen, “there’s no reason whatsoever why we can’t feed a prisoner for $1.50 a day, and that’s for three meals. But even if it cost us $1.50 per meal, that’s $15,000 more that’s going to stay in the general fund (as compared with the current food services contract),” Sheriff Woodward said. The state will pay half of the construction cost for a jail kitchen, and if the board decides to build a three-story addition, “we can also get some office space, and you all know how we’re hurting for office space everywhere throughout the county,” he told the supervisors. With this extra space, the Sheriffs Department could vacate the rooms it now uses in the Commissioner of Revenue’s office, Sheriff Woodward noted. Also, a basement would provide room for storage and possibly for two holding cells, according to the sheriff. Having basement “drunk tanks” would remove a disruptive and noisy element from the general jail population and free space for two more prisoners, he said, adding, “The more prisoners I can hold, the more money I can make.” He explained that the state pays $7.50 per prisoner per day, with a guaranteed minimum of $20,000 per year. This doesn’t cover the $9 per day it now costs to feed a prisoner, but once an individual becomes a convicted felon, the county See KITCHEN, p. 16 Water project before council The Washington Town Council will consider formal requests for funding for its proposed overhaul of the town’s water system at its meeting next Wednesday, Dec. 14. The $1.1 million project is the first comprehensive overhaul and upgrading of the town’s water system since it was installed nearly 50 years ago. With a design which includes a larger storage reservoir, chlorination facilities required by Health Department regulations and bigger diameter water mains to improve fire protection, it has been in the planning stages for the past two years. Preliminary drawings were completed in the spring, and Mayor Dean Morehouse and the council have expressed a desire to get the project under way. The town has received preliminary approval for its request for $700,000 from Virginia’s Community Development Block Grant program, Water Authority director Brad Fisher said last weekend. That approval, he said, will assist the town in its application for the remaining $361,000 in federal funds from the Farmers Home Administration. However, formal acceptance of the CDBG block grant, as well as any federal money, will require a vote by the council. Next Wednesday’s public hearing, at which consideration of funding and consulting contracts will also be discussed, is also a requirement of the state and federal grant approval process.

-Holiday crime spree nets 12 months in jail James Robert Smoot, 41, of Flint Hill, who was charged in connection ^-with a series of thefts in the Flint Hill and Huntly area during November and December 1987, was sentenced last Thursday to 12 months in jail. Smoot, who was charged along with Robert Lee Ramey with six fe. > lonies and two misdemeanors, was ; found guilty after a jury trial last month. Ramey pleaded guilty to the ;: _charges and testified against Smoot i t his trial. • i ~ The two were accused of a series of thefts of Christmas trees and ; other ornamental shrubs, the killing ;, - ?nd slaughter of a cow, and the breaking and entering and theft of a .,. i chainsaw, food and sodas at Foster’s ., Packing House outside Flint Hill. ; The last charge of breaking and , * entering was later dismissed in ■ Smoot’s case. Smoot’s attorney, Roy Bradley, asked for leniency for his client, calling him “a man of obvious limitations.” He told Judge W. Shore Robertson that, although Smoot did not steal to feed his family, neither did he steal to feed a drug habit or to . buy a car. Vi Blaming the crime spree on ex, cessive drinking and associating with “bad friends,” Mr. Bradley told the judge that a jail sentence would result in Smoot’s losing his job and ‘**ftis family losing their home. He suggested a lengthy probation with strict conditions, and treatment and bounseling for alcohol abuse. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter ’Luke argued that, although Ramey • was the “ringleader” in the thefts ' And Smoot a “bystander,” the thefts represented multiple offenses. “He had plenty of time to think. When ' they stole the Christmas trees, they ’ went back three times. He went along voluntarily — and those trees 1 were stolen to be sold for money.” Addressing Mr. Bradley’s plea for consideration of Smoot’s “limitations,” Mr. Luke called them “no ex• Tuse for his actions. If that were the case, an accused person would have ,an absolute defense. The law clearly does not recognize that.” Mr. Luke pointed out that Smoot has a prior criminal record. “He has been through the system before, been on probation before. The psychiatric examination indicates he is competent — he knew what he was doing was wrong.” As Smoot stood for sentencing, the fingers of one hand crossed for luck, Judge Robertson told him that he had considered the evidence, the arguments and the pre-sentencing report. On two charges of petty larceny, he was sentenced to 12 months in jail. To a third, reduced, petty larceny charge, he received six months. For the felony charges, Smoot received 12 months in jail on each count and a $500 fine. Judge Robertson also required that restitution of $1,046 be repaid by the tw’o defendants. The judge ordered that Smoot’s sentences run concurrently. He ordered, however, that the time begin after the 12 months he received on one charge to which he pleaded guilty. He then suspended all but 12 months of the jail sentences. Because of his lack of financial means, Smoot’s fines were also suspended. Judge Robertson also ordered that Smoot be placed on probation for two years after his release, and that he receive alcohol treatment and counseling. He also agreed to Mr. Bradley’s request that Smoot be allowed to enter a work release program while in jail, “provided that someone can come and get you.” The judge told Smoot that he was allowing that provision “to protect your family” from the loss of their home. Ramey had been sentenced previously for his role in the thefts. He received five years on each of three grand larceny charges, 12 months on each of two petty larceny counts and six years for the breaking and entering charge. In return for his testimony against Smoot and a guilty plea, and in consideration of his clean record, Judge Robertson ordered that the sentences run concurrently and suspended all but 90 days of the total. ... He was also ordered to serve two years probation after release, and receive counseling and treatment for alcohol abuse. Names to be printed Letters will go out in the next week or two, advising delinquent . taxpayers who are behind a year or more in their payments to the county that their names will be printed in a-paid advertisement in the Rappahannock News.

Club offers clothing, toys The Heads-Up 4-H Club, in cooperation with the county’s Girl Scouts, is planning a Christmas present for the county’s needy residents. It’s been dubbed the “Support the People Program.” On Saturday, Dec. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Washington fire hall, the club will have available clothing and toys. “These are donated items which need a home," club leader Brenda Knoll said. “People can come and pick out what they need.” Clothing will be sorted into types and sizes, and will include mittens, gloves, scarves, coats and blankets. There will also be household goods available. And, for parents who might otherwise have nothing under the Christmas tree on Dec. 25, there will be Christmas gifts.

Circuit-riding planner proposed For $7,333, Rappahannock County can have a one-third share in the services of a full-time professional planner under the terms of a proposal from the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission. “Perhaps a county shared-andbudgeted PD 9 planner would make sound financial sense while affording our three PD 9 members who do not have a local planning staff with four months’ access to a professional planner," wrote executive director Richard Stroemple in a Nov. 29 memo to the county administrators for Rappahannock,, Orange and Madison. I “Although FY ’89/’90 is seven months away, the time to plan and act is now to assure both an adequate local budget line item and securing a qualified planner.” According to Mr. Stroemple's memo, the circuit rider’s salary and fringe benefits would be $22,000, with the cost — like the time — divided equally among the three jurisdictions. The planning district office in Culpeper would provide and house secretarial services as its “inkind” contribution, the executive director noted, with the counties to be billed individually for “project materials.” For four months of the year, this full-time planner would do work for Rappahannock under the direct supervision of County Administrator John McCarthy, explained Col. E.P. Luke, Rappahannock’s citizen representative on the Planning District Commission and the former chairman of that regional body. He maintained the service is needed here. “Our Planning Commission doesn’t have a planner,” he told the supervisors at Monday’s meeting, adding, “The Planning Commission isn’t doing much planning in the sense that I view planning." To Supervisor Ellis Bingham’s contention that the commission’s members are “experienced planners,” Col. Luke replied, “The Planning Commission didn’t plan on the landfill. The Planning Commission didn’t plan on the Sperryville sewer. The Planning Commission didn’t plan on moving the county library to Dean Morehouse’s property. And they’re not planning for the improvements to the town’s water system. . .

The special exception application, which came with a unanimous endorsement from the Planning Commission, was originally submitted with a request for a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals for multi-family housing. The BZA denied that jiermit at its November meeting, finding that Mr. Estes’s proposal to convert an existing building separate from any other structures on his one-acre commercial village lot into an apartment for his mother did not qualify as multi-family housing. The special exception permit is still necessary, however, as Mr. Estes will be applying for a family apartment next month concurrent with the Planning Commission’s recommendation to amend the zoning ordinance to provide for family apartments in commercial village zones, the county administrator explained. In making the findings required for granting a special exception, the board determined that since the apartment would be in an existing structure, there’s no evidence that the housing would cause increased flood heights. And Mr. McCarthy pointed out that the building, estimated to be KM) years old, is not in the flood way. “It's nice for Mr. T3stei;“~said — Mrs. Burnham Atkins, who with her two daughters, Mrs. Shirley Berry and Mrs. Wilson Atkins, has monitored the board’s public hearings since being denied an ordinance amendment or special exception which would allow them a one-acre family transfer lot. “But he’s a small landowner, and you all have refused some of the rest of us small landowners. Why not include all of us small landowners and allow us the opportunity to build us a home?” “All you’ve got to do is change one little thing — two acres (minimum lot size) to one acre [for the family transfer exception to the zonSee HEARINGS, p. 16 HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS We hope you will stop by for a cozy dinner at the old School House anytime during the holiday season.

DECEMBER 8,1988 Editorial Looking to the future, jail addition is needed On Monday, the county’s supervisors directed County Administrator John McCarthy to have preliminary plans drawn for an addition to the county jail. A proposal from Sheriff John Henry Woodward calls for a three-story addition containing a kitchen, offices and more cell space, including a drunk tank. The Board of Supervisors, facing an uncertain future with the current contract for inmates’ food with the Hampton Inn, has been approached by the county schools with an informal offer to use the kitchen at one of the schools to prepare meals. While at first glance that would seem to be an ideal solution, there are important and, as yet unanswered, questions. Would the buildings be open, without fail, 365 days a year for three meals? Who would insure the workers against injury or liability? Would the state approve the funding for kitchen help for the Sheriff’s Department if the meals were not being prepared at the jail? What recourse would the county have if objections were raised at a later date by the Department of Corrections or the schools, either at the state or local level? From another perspective, the county jail needs more space. According to Sheriff Woodward, the jail’s average population has risen in the past three years from 7-3/4 to 12 inmates per day. Right now, there are only 14 beds available. During the next few years, the average inmate population is likely to continue to rise. Because of crowded quarters at the jail building, last year Sheriff Woodward and his deputies moved their offices into the building also occupied by the Commissioner of Revenue. An addition at the jail would enable them to move back, also freeing up extra office space for the county’s expanding staff. It is preferable, too, that the sheriff and his deputies be available at the jail building instead of elsewhere in the courthouse complex. The proposed drunk tank would enable intoxicated individuals to be segregated from the rest of the inmates, thereby removing an often unruly and disruptive influence from the general inmate population. If the kitchen were located in the jail, trustees could help in the kitchen, giving them training which they could later use to advantage after their release. That might also reduce the costs of personnel, which, although they are borne by the State Compensation Board, are ultimately paid by all the taxpayers in the Commonwealth. Presently, the county is paying $3 per inmate for each meal. Sheriff Woodward assured the supervisors that, with a kitchen, each inmate could be fed for between $1.50 and $2.20 per day. That represents a considerable savings to the county. Last time the jail was renovated, the state picked up 80 percent of the tab, leaving the county to fund only 20 percent of the cost for the renovations. Now, the formula is 50/50. In the future, the formula is not likely to increase in the county’s favor. Lessons, too, can be drawn from the high school addition and the handicapped access projects. The longer the county waits, the more the project is likely to cost. It is possible, too, that in the meantime the state will enact more stringent requirements, bumping the cost even higher. Although we understand the supervisors’ reluctance to embark on yet another capital improvement project which will stretch the county’s budget even farther, we fear that waiting and relying on stopgap measures will prove to be shortsighted and, in the end, possibly cost the county even more. r Correction In an editorial last week, the Rappahannock News stated that Jackson District Supervisor J. Richard Latham died after suffering a massive heart attack. i Mr. Latham, in fact, died suddenly as the result of a blood clot following surgery. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

Letters to the editor Kids love soccer! To the editor: We have finished the first season of the Rappahannock Soccer League and it was a tremendous success. Rappahannock children love soccer! This whole enterprise could not have been such a great experience if it weren’t for ten dedicated, inspiring coaches: April Heddleston, Dennis Fairbrother, Rob Parrish, Susan Carney, Ken Shankle, Sandra Brown, Sharon Pierce, Doug Baumgardner, Lucky McCoy and Howard Coon. These men and women braved bruised shins, cold weather and an ever changing game schedule to bring a love of the game to their players. Assisting the coaches were people equally committed to soccer and to the players: Scott Currie, Ozzie Pace, Marc Raney, Shannon Sauce, Chris Stringfellow and Roger Welch. Our own Superintendent of Schools, Dave Gangel, not only laid out the fields, but served as a lineman for many of his son’s games. Several local businesses and individuals helped the league with financial support for uniforms, balls and goals: Signal Brothers, Taylor Construction, Dunagan Electric, Faith Mountain, Cherry Street Lumber Supply, Carol and Guy Foster, Howard Coon, Susan and Rob Parrish, Ozzie Pace and Jeb Carney. Coach Rich Dietz of Rappahannock High School was, and continues to be supportive, always available for advice and ready with high school soccer players to referee the youth league games, especially Ryan Welch, Patrick O’Meara, Chris Stringfellow and Jesse Reynolds. But none of this would have been possible without the unique skills of one woman to organize, follow through on a project, work with all kinds of problems and always be available as a friend—Sandra Brown. She has been the life’s bloody of this league as much as I and she* deserves much more than a thank you. Last, but not least, are the players and their parents, for without them, there would be no league. Wei are now planning for spring season, which will be even better soccer and even more fun! Anyone who knows me, knows I can go on forever on the subject of soccer and this league, but I will force myself to stop with this: Thank you everyone!

Op - Ed Health care workers need guidance and compassion in treating AIDS patients By DR. RICHARD P. KEELING Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A young women with AIDS recently went for routine dental care to a clinic in one of Virginia’s most respected teaching hospitals. Although she had an appointment, she was turned away. In a hallway adjacent to the public waiting room, a hygienist explained to her that she couldn’t be treated then. She was told to come back at the end of a day, when she could be “barricaded” from other patients, and that the clinic would have to be “sterilized” after her visit. The woman left dejectedly without receiving care. And for no reason. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, is not transmitted by any kind of casual contact. The patient in this sad interaction endangered no other people in the waiting room; no “barricades” were needed. All medical and dental instruments are routinely sterilized between patients, and clinical personnel must take reasonable precautions to prevent the transmission of HIV during procedures on all patients, not just those known to have AIDS. There was no conceivable need to sterilize the clinic. Reasonable guidelines for protecting medical and dental professionals issued by the Public Health Service include no requirements for r barricades or facility sterilization. Simply put, she could have — and should have — been treated like any other patient. Instead, this woman, living with the medical, psychological and social realities of a chronic, life-threatening disease, was treated without any I Opinion awareness of her suffering or her needs. Why did this happen? Because of unreasonable fear on the part of health care workers that the woman would spread HIV to other patients or staff. This underlines the pressing ■need for education about HIV infection and AIDS among health care providers in Virginia. Clinical personnel, especially those who rarely encounter patients with AIDS, still commonly react in ways that isolate and stigmatize them. The clinic staff should have understood and implemented standard and appropriate, but not discriminatory, infection control procedures — without postponed visits, hallway conversations, barricades or clinic “sterilization.” The woman who experienced this discrimination is heterosexual, white and married. Many other people with AIDS are even more at risk for discrimination by the medical Virginians with AIDS in our state regularly find that medical or dental evaluation and treatment is denied, delayed or offered in an unacceptable and hurtful way. As jobs are lost because of discrimination or disability and financial resources drain away, people with AIDS become dependent on increasingly scarce public resources and programs. Most long-term care facilities in Virginia do not accept people with AIDS. Waiting lists, delayed appointments, poor housing arrangements, unnecessarily prolonged hospitalizations and isolation result. Fear and ignorance also underlie the many other forms of discrimination against persons in this state living with HIV infection and AIDS. People lose jobs, insurance, housing and access to facilities or activities because they have AIDS, or because their blood test for antibodies to HIV is positive. They suffer a series of oppressive and insulting encounters with agencies or individuals who would prefer to exclude, evict or fire them — and all too often, people with AIDS are reluctant to challenge discriminatory actions because they fear worse consequences from more extensive public disclosure of their illness. The reality is that existing antidiscrimination. laws in Virginia as profession because they are gay, Dance duo to appear Photo courtesy of Frank Marshman THE DANCE TEAM of Kate Trammell and Cynthia Thompson, seen above with guitarist John Romeo, will appdar at the Gay St. Theater on Saturday, Dec. 10.

This discrimination was described in the recent report of the Presidential Commission on the Epidemic of HIV Infection. Virginians must end this discrimination. We can start by agreeing that essential medical care must be consistently accessible and available to AIDS patients. One way to do that is to eliminate ignorance of the disease on the part of health care workers. Florida and Washington have state laws requiring AIDS education for all health workers; we need similar legislation in Virginia.

The real tragedy is that most of these fires can be prevented. The Virginia Department of Emergency Services offers the following checklist to help you and your family eiyoy a happy and safe holiday season: Decorative Lights. Electrical fires occur throughout the year, but during the holidays, they increase sharply. Don’t overload outlets and circuits. Most of us use the same Christmas lights year after year. Check them carefully each year and repair or replace those with worn or frayed cords. Also, use care when placing these decorations, especially in windows where curtains can ignite easily. It’s best not to leave decorative lights on all night. You can buy a relatively inexpensive timer which will turn lights on and off automatically. Candles. Candles should be carefully placed and never left unattended. Burning candles on a Christmas tree is very dangerous, even if you stay in the room. Trees dry out quickly and can ignite before you are able to take action. Christmas Trees. A live tree should be bought as fresh as possible. Hold the tree upright and thump the base on the ground a few times; if the needles fall off, the tree ’» has begun to dry. Before you mount your tree in a stand, cut an inch or two off the bottom so it will absorb water more easily. Always keep the base of the tree in water and check it daily. (Evaporation can be slowed by adding beer to the water.) Place your tree away from fireplaces, radiators and other sources of heat to slow the drying process. Dispose of your tree soon after the holidays, before it dries out. Take it outside to a dump or designated trash pickup area. Don’t burn your tree indoors in a fireplace or furnace. If you buy an artificial tree, be sure it is flame-resistent. Remember, these trees only resist fire; ultimately they will bum. Also, the fumes generated by a smoldering artificial tree can be just as deadly as an actual fire. It’s best to use the same care with an artificial tree as with a live one. Finally, if you don’t have a smoke detector, get one. If you have one, make sure it works. And smoke detectors make great gifts!

Day realtor ~ ON RECEIVING AN OFFER Once you put your house up for sale, you have to promise yourself that you won’t waver when the right offer comes. If it’s a fair one—jump on it! The offering price should come pretty close to the asking price if you’ve priced your property realistically. The right offer may be your first offer, and if you turn it down, you may never get another as good. However, the offer should be a written one—the only kind that has any real significance and on which you can depend. Just remember that a legitimate offer should be accompanied by a good-size check depending on the selling price. Never accept a verbal promise and take your property off the market. The next day, a good sale may be lost if you are tied up in this type of questionable transaction.

Sports and Outdoor Life Leake predicts court success for Panthers By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Panthers begin their quest for a Bull Run District basketball title this week, ranked in a pre-season coaches' poll as one of the top three teams in the district. Along with Central and Strasburg, Rappahannock shared the top spot in the traditional poll of the Bull Run District's coaches. Obviously not wishing to appear over-confident, Coach Gary Leake was cautiously optimistic about his team. But, he pointed to the team's two pre-season scrimmage wins against AAA Fauquier High School (79-74), and Luray High School (12170). He noted, however, that Fauquier was missing two of its starters during the scrimmage. Key to the team’s success this year. Coach Leake said, will be its experience, depth and the new high school gymnasium, as well as the support of the community for the basketball program. The Panthers will field a “very experienced team," with eight returning players. Six of those returnees lettered last year. Three starters also returned this year: Eric Dunn, Doug Smith and Julian Groves. Depth, Coach Leake said, will be an unaccustomed bonus this season for the Panthers. “That will be key. We have more depth than in any time in the past.” And, the new gym has produced a team wRich carries with it a lot of pride, he added. “They have taken an extra amount of pride in the program this year. That could help them.” After a month of practicing every day, the team has adjusted to the new court. Coach Leake reported. Although Coach Leake cautioned that pre-season scrimmages can be misleading, “the team has done a lot of things well during those scrimmages.” But, they have been at least as valuable in pointing out weak spots along with the team's strengths. “We can coach the weaknesses and turn them into strengths, while improving the areas where we are strong,” he said. He suggested that the Panthers must improve their re "If we can stay healthy, stay together and play as a team; if we can finish with the same 15 players we started with — then I think that our chances for postseason play are very good." — Gary Leake RCHS basketball coach bounding and communication, particularly on defense. On offense. Coach Leake said he expects the Panthers to be more balanced than in past years. And, a big change will be a team which is “equally strong inside as well as outside. In the past, we have been known as an inside team. Now, we’ll be more likely to take the outside shot. I’m pleased to have that asset.” One goal for the season, the veteran coach continued, is to increase the team’s free throw percentage from last year's season average of 58 percent, into the low 70s. Last season the Panthers dropped six games in which the team shot less than 50 percent from the line. “In a close game, that makes the difference.” Another, he said, is to reduce the team's turnovers. Although he acknowledged that a “running team” like the Panthers will allow more turnovers, he said he’d like to reduce last year's average of four per quarter to about three. “As long as we force the opponent to lose more than we commit, we will be okay.” Against their chief opponents, Central and Strasburg, Coach Leake sees different strengths working to the Panthers’ advantage. “We are stronger inside than Central,” and against Strasburg, the team’s depth should be an advantage. Strasburg is hobbled by last-minute schedule changes necessitated by its football team’s participation in the state tournament. All their December games have been cancelled, and the team is faced with playing three games each week in January and February. “It's going to be diffi cult for them, being out of basketball shape. There’s a big difference between being in football shape and basketball shape,” Coach Leake said. The season’s key games, Coach Leake predicted, will be two against Central on Dec. 15 and Jan. 3, and another against Strasburg on Jan. 6. “Those will be crucial to the outcome of the season — for all three teams.” Coach Leake offered the following thumbnail sketches of the Panther team this season, beginning with its five starters: Eric Dunn: The team’s point man on its 1-2-2 offense, Dunn made the all-district team last season. “He has the potential to be among the best in the district again this year.” Last year, Dunn was consistently among the team’s top players in both rebounds and points. Julian Groves: A wing man playing outside on offense, Groves is the team’s top defensive player overall. He usually guards the opponent’s best offensive player. Danny Ellis: Groves’s partner on the opposite wing, Ellis adds good rebounding abiity to the Panthers defense, especially from the outside. Also a strong leaper and a good passer, Ellis is an asset who adds teamwork and playmaking on the offense as well. Doug Smith: A senior forward, Smith is the team’s top foul shooter. Also a consistent shooter and rebounder, Smith is especially strong inside for the offense. “He has excellent moves.” Anthony Porter: Rounding out the Panther starters at forward, Porter is “a good player in the n These Cars Must Be Sold Immediately! 1988 Chevrolet Cavalier —win mm ...

Carroll Frye: A “very physical player,” Frye has an excellent shooting touch from the baseline. „. Mike Payne: At 6-foot-5, Payne will see considerable playing time at center. “He has an excellent shooting touch for a big man.” Daniel Roy: A hustler who adds his skills to the team’s defensive effort, Roy also brings a good shooting touch to the offensive game. Benji Roy: The second of the three Roy brothers on the team this season, Benji is a great leader and also a good jump shooter. James Roy: As a freshman, James “possesses probably the most potential of any of the team’s younger players. He has more ability than any freshman I’ve ever coached.” A good outside shooter, James will develop into a major contributor for the Panthers. Bill Atkins: A good defensive player who shines on the press, Atkins is a skilled ball handler. He should see considerable playing time at point guard. Philip Daczewitz: Another consistent player, the team relies on him for inside defensive play. A hustler, his left-handed shooting provides balance on the offense. Zack Allen: A sophmore, Allen is a strong rebounder on the inside. He is developing good moves and can consistently hit open shots. Tony Williams: Another sophmore, Williams is a very good passer who is particularly effective w'hen he runs the middle on the fast break. Jamie Walters: A former Rappahannock student who went to Warren County and has transferred back, Walters is ineligible to play until January. He is practicing writh the team every day, and “is a very vital asset to the team even though he can’t play. He works the starters hard in practice, thereby improving them and himself at the same time.” Coach Leake predicted that the addition of Walters to the team in January will prove to be a “major advantage.” Generally, teams tend to lose players as they come off winter break, and having a player of his caliber join the team will be a boost to the second half of the season. “He’s the kind of guy a coach likes to have around first — then build the rest of the team around him.” Coach Leake also has two junior “redshirts,” John Woodward at forward and Keith Tobin at guard, who can be brought onto the bench if injuries hit the Panthers. The hidden asset of Rappahannock’s team. Coach Leake said, is the support of the school’s fans. “We are the smallest school in the Bull Run District, and we have the most support from our fans. And, it’s r RCHS sports schedule The winter sports season is beginning at Rappahannock County High School. The Panther boys’ basketball team meets the Clarke County Eagles in its home opener on Dec. 8, with the night dedicated to the Rappahannock Lions Club in recognition of its contribution of new scoreboards.

With the completion of the new gym, seating is nearly 700 for basketball. Coach Leake invited the community to attend the home games and cheer the Panthers to victory. Asked for a prediction on the season ahead, Coach Leake leaned back and thought for a minute before replying. “If we can stay healthy, stay i together and play as a team; if w& can finish with the same 15 players we started with — then I think that our chances for post-season play art very good.” A couple of minutes later, as he walked back to the gym to rejoin the team, which was practicing undef the watchful eye of his fiancee, girlrf basketball coach Renee Dingus, the coach added a footnote. “Right nowi my plans are to try to get through this week — a game Tuesday, * ?ame Thursday and my wedding Saturday!” t .

Renowned hunt photographer Marshall P. Hawkins dies at 78 By LAUREL SCOTT Anindcl Newspapers Staff Writer Rappahannock County, along with the rest of the world of horses, mourned the loss of a good friend at the graveside services for Marshall Fowell Hawkins on Tuesday, Dec. 6, }n Warrenton. J Hawkins, 78, died last Saturday pt Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton after an illness of several months. ! The country’s foremost equine bhotographer suffered a stroke on £\ug. 30. His illness worsened and he Was moved to Oak Springs Nursing pome. He had recently suffered a second stroke and died soon afterward. ! The Lynchburg native was marked to the former Lucille Schwab in J948. Artistically trained, she contributed a great deal to the character of her husband’s work over the t’ears by painstakingly hand coloring and retouching his black and white photos. • Hawkins was educated at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg. • Upon graduation, he signed on With a Lynchburg portrait studio, Starting off his career as a garden pnd landscape portraitist in the rural gettings of Amherst County. • Hawkins took his first commercial picture in 1934. The image, taken with a Brownie box camera {rnd a piece of cellophane as a filter, Was of an historic mill on the James Wver. It was successfully received. >t In the course of his work for the Studio, he occasionally photographed events for the Lynchburg News. It was on such an assignment in 1939 that he met Liz Whitney, the noted Virginia horsewoman, at a local horse show. She was impressed with his pictures of her horses. The late Mrs. Elizabeth Whitney Tippett subsequently moved the talented photographer to her Llangollen Farm in Upperville, and introduced him to the horses and people of the hunt country of America. Thus began a career in equine photography that was to span 50 years. Before long, Hawkins was making a name for himself up and down the East Coast as well as in the Midwest. The fedora-topped photographer, with camera clenched firmly in both hands, quickly became a familiar sight at horse shows, hunt meets and the tracks. Hawkins worked his magic at •The Fauquier Democrat and the pastern Breeder journal in Warrenton in the early ’40s. Former Democrat social editor Gertrude Trumbo remembered, “Marshall’s main characteristic was his congeniality. He liked everybody, and everybody liked him. He was famous for his filing system; the back of his car was piled sky-high with pictures, but he could usually find what he was looking for if he rooted through long enough.” ■ When World War II interrupted everyday life, it did not interrupt Hawkins’ photography. He served 4ith the Seabees in the Pacific from 1942 to 1944, taking pictures for the Navy. PHOTOGRAPHER MARSHALL HAWKINS, wearing his familiar fedora with his ever-present camera close at hand. In 1947, Hawkins went into business for himself. The turning point in Hawkins’ career came one afternoon in November 1961 when the photographer pulled up late for a meet of thd^iedmont Fox Hounds at Mr. and Mrs. George Slater’s West View farm in UppCrville. He had no idea who was out for the day’s hunting, or that history was about to be made when he positioned himself near a post and rail panel with his Mamiyaflex 120 and a 135mm lens. After five riders had negotiated the obstacle, Hawkins saw First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy approaching the far side of the panel with a horse that appeared to be reluctant to jump it. The horse, Bit of Irish, did, in fact, refuse the fence, sending the First Lady over its head and over the fence just as Hawkins pressed the shutter. He immediately joined other riders to ascertain her condition and to help her remount. Hawkins finished off with a shot of the First Lady back up on her hunter, only slightly worse for the wear, and beamingbroadly. Later that evening, before the first prints were even dry, bids started flying frantically for the American rights to publish the “windfall” picture. The “auction” was concluded later at a local diner; Life Magazine won the rights. Sensitive to the Kennedy family’s sense of privacy, Hawkins sought and received their gracious go-ahead to publish the picture, with the stipulation that it be printed in conjunction with the follow-up of the First Lady remounted and unharmed. Peter Winants, editor of The Chronicle of the Horse, spoke of Hawkins’ photos: “In photography, it’s so important to create dimension. He had that ability. It stamped his work. You could look at a picture and say, hey, Marshall Hawkins did that. In his racing pictures, he had a sense of timimg; he’d wait for that action, wait for that group. “When I first started taking pictures, he used an old combat camera. He wasn’t going to switch over to the 35mm cameras we young people were using,” Winants said. Warrenton photographer Robert McClanahan, who knew Hawkins for many years, said of him, “He was a photographer that had that special eye and a touch of class.” Just before the photographer’s death, a book titled “A Field of Horses,” featuring prime examples of 50 years of Hawkins’ work, was published. James L. Young, Master of the Orange County Hunt, wrote a text to complement the pictures, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis penned its foreword. Survivors include his widow, Lucille, of Warrenton; a son, T.L. Hawkins, of McLean; two daughters, Marsha Smith of Jacksonville, Fla., and Joan T. Hawkins, of Warrenton; one sister, Betty Inge, of Niceville, Fla., and one granddaughter, Merilee Smith. Burial was in the Warrenton Cemetery.

Kitchen Continued from page 1 gets an extra $5 a day until the person is taken into the state system. And for holding out-of-eounty prisoners, Rappahannock gets $15 per day from the “home" jurisdiction plus the $7.50 from the state. Last year, it cost $43,200 to operate the jail (excluding salaries, which are paid by the State Compensation Board), and Sheriff Woodward took in $43,820, $23,102 coming in state reimbursement and $20,718 from other jurisdictions, enabling him to return $620 to the county’s general fund. Presently, Rappahannock's jail holds prisoners —on a space-available basis — for Madison and Greene counties, as well as other nearby jurisdictions when their facilities are full. Fauquier County also sends Rappahannock its female inmates, in exchange for Rappahannock prisoners being allowed access to its work release program. “I'm at your mercy," Sheriff Woodward told the supervisors. Describing the kitchen office addition as a “good venture," he acknowledged that the project will cost the county “up front” but maintained it will mean a savings “in the long run" over contracting for food services with an outside party. aUI . (U lllty I lt*U llldl Lilt architectural firm of Lawrence and Lawrence in Warrenton has agreed to do the plans now for the kitchen addition estimated at $100,000 — and wait to be paid until the next budget year since there’s no allocation in the county’s current budget for the design work. The drawings would have to be submitted to the State Department of Corrections for approval by Sept. 1, 1989, in order to be part of the package for which the department will seek funding from the General Assembly in its 1990 session, the county administrator said. If the decision is made to go ahead with the project, the county would pay for building the kitchen addition from its 1989-90 budget and receive state reimbursement for half the cost in that same fiscal year, Mr. McCarthy explained. “I think we should plan for a jail addition, but maybe we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves,” responded Supervisor Mike Massie. Addressing the problems foreseen by Ms. Johnson, he said buying a second refrigerator will enable the school food and jail food to be kept separate and that once the Sheriffs Department qualifies in six months as a commodities purchaser, that separation might not even be necessary. Certainly, the county would approve having the school’s kitchen facilities open year-round, he said, adding, “Who’s going to pick up the food? Right now, the deputies are picking up the food. . .Her three concerns (about using the school’s kitchens to prepare meals for prisoners) are no concerns at all in my book. . . We need to look at this school thing with a positive attitude,” he added, and suggested that the sher-, iff and representatives from the Board of Supervisors meet as soon as possible with the superintendent of schools to thrash out details. William Frizell, the new owner of the Hampton Inn, has said he will continue the food services contract while the county is in the process of adding on to the jail, reported the county administrator. “He might work with us on that (if the supervisors are pursuing negotiations on using the school kitchens)," he added. At Supervisor Massie’s suggestion, the board authorized Mr. McCarthy to write the State Department of Corrections, reporting that Rappahannock is looking at all the options for feeding prisoners, assessing alternatives on the basis of least cost, both for local and state taxpayers. “We have to decide if this jail addition is a good idea or not a good idea, regardless of whether it’s paid for with local dollars or state dollars," Mr. Massie said. And the Hampton District representative and Supervisor Charles Estes were named as the board’s representatives to meet with Sheriff Woodward and Dr. Gangel. ‘I suggest we proceed with commissioning the architectural design," added Mr. McCarthy. “Absolutely," agreed Supervisor Massie. as the board voted unanimous approval. “We should be prepared in case using the school kitchens doesn’t work out.” Architectural services for building a kitchen addition costing $100,000 (exclusive of stoves, refrigerators and other unfixed furnishings) will run $5,000, Mr. McCarthy reported, adding that work on the plans will begin immediately. To Supervisor Massie’s contention that the board bears a fiduciary responsibility not only to local taxpayers but to citizens of the state as a whole. Sheriff Woodward noted that the General Assembly is going to allocate millions of dollars for jail construction, no matter how Rappahannock’s supervisor decide county prisoners should be fed. “The money is going to go to somebody. Just because we don’t put in for any doesn’t mean thev’re not going to spend that $50,000.” “I fought John Henry on this for years,” added Supervisor Nelson Lane, who has been a consistent opponent of proposals for a jail kitchen. Saying he is still “tired of Richmond having us barking like trained seals to get our own tax dollars," Mr. Lane none-the-less acknowledged that “it’s tough to drive meals around,” adding, “I’m not sure that’s a good thing. I’m not sure we should be conducting our business like that." Library Continued from page 1 site is conditional upon construction beginning in two years. “Two years goes by just like that,” said Col. Luke, recalling that it took the county seven years to determine who owned the old Scrabble School, thought initially to belong either to the county or to the Rappahannock School Board but in fact finally discovered to be in private ownership. According to the former Piedmont District supervisor, there are other question marks surrounding the new library: Does the county want to buy the old church if it’s no longer to be used as a library? Who’s going to pay operational costs for the much bigger new library'? How much is the county going to be asked to provide towards construction bills? “We need decisions now. These questions need to be raised publicly" he said, in apparent reference to the secrecy maintained by the Board of Trustees over plans to build a new library on the two acres donated by Mr. Morehouse. (A public airing of the Board of Trustees’ intentions came only with a proposal two months ago for a zoning ordinance amendment to allow libraries by special exception in agricultural zones and the subsequent application for such a permit.) He also recalled that Bird Jones had willed a lot to the library on the condition that it be used within 10 years or the bequest would go to first, the 4-H Center and second, the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. “Five years have already gone by.

Love in Christ, Pastor Bill Taylor « rescue squads, should the board cease to exist all property it holds reverts to county ownership. “There’s a question whether the library board has sole ownership [of the old Presbyterian Church]. . .There's a question whose building it is to sell and alternately, whose money it is to spend if the building is sold,” Mr. McCarthy confirmed. And should it be determined that the county holds title, both Col. Luke and citizen activist Phil Irwin advised a thorough assessment of office space needs, reminding the board of present regrets over the past sale of the old Washington School. The former Presbyterian Church “may have an adaptive use for public purposes,” Mr. Irwin said. In response to the questions raised at Monday’s meeting, the supervisors directed the county attorney to research the issue of who owns the building and property which now houses the county library.

Supervisor Mike Massie opposed the delegation of authority. While he agreed that a subdivision’s deletion is generally in the best interests of the county and should be encouraged by removing as many obstacles as possible, he still maintained that the board should continue to go through the public hearing process on these petitions. “Somebody could point something out to us that we’ve overlooked. . .People shouldn’t be afraid of the public hearing process. It’s easy. They shouldn’t be afraid of us,” Mr. Massie contended. Planner Continued from page 3 budget of $6 million and assets of $352 million, Col. Luke continued. “And we don’t do any planning?
