Mrs. Carney emphasized that the league plans to limit registration to the two dates above, and that parents should make plans to bring their children to one of the two sites. Three 7th graders take SATs On Jan. 28, three RCES students took their Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) — an ordeal usually reserved for older high school students. The three, Joseph Dunagan, Tucker Rogers and Bonnie Jewell, are participating in Johns Hopkins University's Center for the Advancement of Academically Talented Youth "Talent Search '89." The program allows students who score at the very top of standardized aptitude tests an opportunity to attend enrichment programs during the summer, as well as pursue more advanced course studies. The three students will receive the results of their SAT testing in about a month. ‘Voices and Visions' series begins The Rappahannock County Library's "Voices and Visions" poetry series will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Led by poet and professor Peter Ktappert, the program wiM * focus on five different significant American poets. The series was made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association, and is open to all interested members of the community. The program will be held at Rappahannock County High School every other Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m. For information about the series, or to register as a participant, call the Rappahannock County Library (675-3780). Technical Education Week The students and faculty who participate in the 16 vocational education programs offered by Piedmont Technical Education Center are observing National Technical Education Week, Feb. 12-18. This year's theme is, "Vocational Education: Building Tomorrow's Leaders." The week, according to PTEC principal John J. Bodine, "will give students a chance to show off what they know and do in a variety of fields, from computers to health occupations, to trades and home economics. We want to educate the community about the level of skills our students gain here and encourage them to find out how vocational education teaches young people the skills they'll need to become productive workers — and community leaders." The school is offering a variety of activities to mark the national observance, including skill and leadership contests. ■£ ¥ ■ <■■■ \ Government at a glance * • Architectural Review Board: Thursday, Feb. 16,8 p.m., courthouse.

By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Should the elderly with limited incomes get relief from real estate taxes? The Board of Supervisors has decided to consider such a proposal and wants to hear from citizens at a public hearing at its meeting in March. At the request of Hampton District Supervisor Michael Massie and Wakefield District Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, County Administrator John McCarthy has informed the supervisors that they could adopt such a law. Those who qualify could be exempt from a percentage of their real estate taxes or from the entire tax, depending on what policy the board adopted. As an alternative to a blanket exemption, the supervisors could defer taxes until the property was sold or the owner died, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the supervisors at their February meeting. In order to qualify the owner of the property would have to be 65 or older or permanently disabled. The combined income from all sources or the owner or owners of the home and any relatives who live in the home must not exceed $22,000, but a relative who was not the owner or the owner’s spouse could exclude up to $6,500 from the total. In addition, if the supervisors wished, they could exclude an additional $7,500 of income from a permanently disabled owner. Another requirement to qualify has to do with the net worth of the owners. The house and up to one acre of land could be excluded. The supervisors could, if they wished also exclude household furnishings. With those exceptions, to quality an owner could not have a net worth of more than $75,000. The program, if adopted, would be administered by the office of the Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins. Homeowners wishing to qualify would have to file forms supporting their eligibility each year. Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors he had not yet attempted to find out how much such a program might cost the county in lost tax revenues. He said that he and Ms. Atkins could come up with a “ball-park figure” if the supervisors wished him to proceed. However, the board decided to determine how much need there is for such a program before asking Mr. McCarthy to try to determine the cost. The purpose of the public hearing is to find out how much interest, if any, there is in the community for such a program. The hearing will be held during the board’s evening session for public hearings on Monday, March 6, beginning at 7 p.m. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter AN OVERTURNED TRUCK blocks Route 522 after a head-on collision with a car Monday morning. Alice Jenkins, the car’s driver, was seriously injured in the wreck. Slick roads blamed for wrecks By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer An unexpected and unpredicted snowfall Monday morning laid a slippery blanket on the county’s roads, causing numerous fenderbenders and one serious accident. Alice Irene Jenkins, 41, of Sperryville, is in fair condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center after she was involved in a head on collision on Route 522 between Woodyille and Scrabble. According to Trooper M. E. Baker, who investigated the accident, Mrs. Jenkins was northbound on Route 522 at about 10 a.m. when her 1985 Dodge sedan slid on the snowy pavement. Trooper Baker said her car crossed the center line of the roadway and struck a 1985 International truck, driven by Mark Donald Spence, 25, of Winchester. After hitting the truck Mrs. Jenkins’s car slid off the west side of Route 522, across a yard and hit a house owned by Woodrow B. Bennett. The truck slid into a bank on the east side of the road, tearing off its front axle. As it slid back onto the road it turned onto its side, spilling diesel fuel and oil onto the highway. Mrs. Jenkins was transported to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad. She was later flown to U. Va. Medical Center by the Pegasus medevac helicopter for treatment of a possible head injury. Mr. Spence was taken to CMH by the Salem Rescue Squad and treated for minor injuries. Trooper Baker said Tuesday that charges are pending as a result of the accident. He estimated damage to Mrs. Jenkins’s car at $4,000, and damage to the truck at $8,000. The trooper said that both drivers were See WRECKS, p. 16 Residents agree water improvements are needed By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though the turnout at last Wednesday’s town council meeting was sparse, the residents who spoke agreed that improvements to Washington’s water system are needed. Most of the comments included questions about specific parts of the project, like the doubling of the reservoir’s capacity from 100,000 to 200,000 gallons. Treasurer Brad Fisher noted that the Virginia Community Development Block Grant program allows lowincome residents without water service to hook into the town system at no charge. The town hopes that the CDBG program will provide $700,000 of the $1.06 million cost of the project. Mark Bailey called the project, “a necessary improvement. It is inevitable that we have to spend the money, and it’s not getting any cheaper. I think it’s great.” He asked where the expanded reservoir would be located. Mr. Fisher explained that it will be placed near the existing reservoir, on a two-acre parcel owned by the town near the end of Piedmont Avenue. He said that the town has already spoken with Nels Parson, who owns the adjacent land across which the water system’s pipes run. Mr. Parson said he has no objection to the new reservoir, Mr. Fisher said, as long as it cannot be seen from his house. He added that the Water Authority intends to see if the storage tanks can be, “camouflaged a bit better.” Mr. Bailey also asked about provisions for temporary service to the town’s residents while the system is being overhauled. Mr. Fisher said that water will be supplied through temporary flexible pipes running above ground while the new pipe is being laid. Each connection, he added, will be flushed, disinfected and sanitized, and the water tested at the home’s taps before the temporary lines are hooked up. The same process will be repeated before any residents use the new distribution lines, Mr. Fisher said. “That is a condition of the bonding necessary to accomplish the project.” John Burns, who described himself as a “prospective town resident,” asked if the overhaul will increase the system’s capacity to enable it to serve more households. Mr. Fisher said that the present system is running at capacity, and that the first task of the new system will be to honor several longstanding requests for taps. “What holds us back from expansion is that we don’t have a second reliable source of supply,” the water authority chief said. Another component of the overhaul is the addition of another well, which is mandated by new federal drinking water standards. However, the project has been described previously by Mayor Dean Morehouse as a “no-growth” system, designed not for expansion and growth but to replace the present aged and decaying system and service existing taps. In response to another question, Mr. Fisher estimated that the three-phase project will take between one and two years to complete. Replacement of the distribution system will be done first, “since that’s in most dire need, and costing us the most in repairs.” Then a treatment facility, mandated by state water standards, and the expanded reservior, will be the final two phases, he said. Claybert Smoot asked what kind of increase the project would bring to the town residents’ water bills. Mr. Fisher replied that, in order to raise the $27,000 annual payments on the $231,500 Farmers Home Administration loan, the average water bill must rise from $14 to $17 per month. Though no final rate schedule has been advertised, Mr. Fisher explained that some increase will be necessary since FmHA rules demand that the loan be repaid from water department revenues. Mr. Fisher and Town Attorney Frank Reynolds noted that one proposed schedule, which calls for a set See COUNCIL, p. 16 Connected to Washington, by George By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer When people ask metalsmith Chris Goodine how he ended up in Washington, Va., he laughs. “First of all, I haven’t ended up yet,” he said. He pulled out a sterling silver pendant with George Washington pictured on a dollar bill framed inside. “Somehow, there’s a connection with George in my work,” he explained. For instance, in the summer Mr. Goodine goes from his home in nearby Hume to Jackson, N.H., to ply his trade at the foot of Mount Washington. The cases that hold his beautiful gold and silver jewelry are made of cherry, and they are in the shape of a pyramid which, he pointed out, is the dominant architectural structure of “the first Washington,” and appears on the flip-side of the dollar bill back-to-back with Washington’s visage. Mr. Goodine opened his shop on Main Street on Washington’s birthday. And the location comes courtesy of the First President: “The whole town wouldn’t even be here if George hadn’t surveyed it,” he added. With all these connections, what else is needed to explain the choice of one of Rappahannock’s newest entrepreneurs? Mr. Goodine is a member of the oldest craft organization in this country, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Founded in the late 1930s by a former Rhode Island School of Design administrator, the League will soon celebrate its 56th anniversary. Mr. Goodine knows of no other organization like the League. “It’s a unique system of 10 stores containing various crafts,” he explained. “After a person joins and has made something which he wants to sell in one of the stores, his work is juried by that store to determine if it meets with strict rules of quality.” To be permitted to sell in all 10 stores, the craftsman is juried by the state. - “It really is important — the League’s policy of high standards. Customers come to the stores expecting to pay top dollar for hand-crafted items that are well-known for their quality.” Mr. Goodine has been crafting fine metals for 20 years since learning the craft at a League shop at Exeter North See GOODINE, p. 16 Joe McCullough for the Rappahannock News FORMING THE FOUNDATION, silversmith Chris Goodine hammers one of the “wave-links” which make up much of his jewelry. News wins 7 VPA awards The staff of the Rappahannock Newscaptured seven writing, photography and design awards at the Virginia Press Association’s winter meeting in Richmond. A first-place award for lifestyle writing went to staff writer Daphne Hutchinson for her story about Rappahannock County’s contribution to Camp Fantastic, the summer camp for children with cancer held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center near Front Royal. For three years, Rappahannock residents have put- on a “Rappahannock Night” for the 80 campers, complete with dinner and entertainment. Mrs. Hutchinson’s story described the experience of the county’s residents and their feelings on meeting this group of courageous children. Managing Editor Lou Hatter received a first-place award for editorial writing. Mr. Hatter’s entry included an editorial opposing the proposed development of land adjacent to the Manassas battlefield park, a tribute to William Carrigan, and criticism of Washington’s Planning Commission for its inability to muster a quorum for its meetings.

J Lottery winnings taxable “Virginians who are lucky to have winning tickets in the state's lottery must include their winnings on their federal tax return,” said Jack G. Petrie, Internal Revenue Service District Director. “Winnings from lotteries and raffles must be included as part of your income on line 22, Form 1040,” Mr., Petrie said. Other noncash prizes such as bonds, cars, and houses are to be reported at their fair market value. If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A, you may deduct gambling losses you had during the year, but only up to the amount of your winnings,” Mr. Petrie added. For certain kinds of gambling winnings, income tax is withheld at 20 percent of the proceeds (the amount of your winnings minus the amount of your bet). The following sources are subject to withholding: • A state lottery where the proceeds are more than $5,000. • A wagering pool, sweepstakes, or lottery (such as a drawing or church raffle), if the proceeds are more than $1,000. • Any other wager, if the proceeds are more than $1,000 and at least 300 times the amount of the bet. This includes wagers on horse races, dog races and jai alai. Winnings from bingo, keno, and slot machines are not subject to income tax withholding. If income tax is withheld from your winnings, you should receive a Form W-2G, Statement for Recipients of Certain Gambling Winnings. The statement will show the amount you won and the amount withheld. For more information, individuals can obtain free Publication 17, “Your Federal Income Tax” by cabling toll-free, (800) 424-FORM.

Speed your tax refund For the third year Virginians will be able to take advantage of computer technology and file their federal tax returns electronically. “Electronic filing is referred to as ‘The Wave of the Future’ and since its start the wave has grown in size and strength each year. This year Virginia is one of 36 states to participate in the program,” Jack Petrie, Virginia’s district director said. Electronic filing is a system that allows participating filers to transmit an individual’s tax return data over telephone lines from their office computers to an IRS Service Center. Most of the common tax forms are included in the program.. The main requirement is that the return show a refund due to the individual. “People who opt to have their re turns filed electronically benefit ft* several ways,” Mr. Petrie said. “The refund comes generally three to four' weeks faster. Within two working days of the transmission you get art electronic confirmation that the return has been received and is accept table for processing. The return is more accurate resulting in fewer ef-£ rors. You have the option of havingt your refund directly deposited into a personal account. ” In 1990, electronic filing will be-, offered nationwide.

From Across The State i Conditional zoning bill sent to full Senate By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — A House bill that extends the Northern Virginia proffer system to highgrowth areas throughout the state passed a Senate committee Tuesday by a vote of 9-5. The bill approved by the Senate Committee on Local Government would permit conditional zoning in areas that experience a 10 percent or more growth rate during a 10-year period. Rappahannock County is included in the area covered by the proposal since it abuts three counties specifically mentioned in the bill: Culpeper, Fauquier and Warren. And, Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said, if the bill passes the Town of Washington would also gain the authorities granted by the legislation, since it is a part of a county included in the measure. Mr. McCarthy called the committee’s decision, “about the most important thing that could have happened.” He said he felt that the committee may have been swayed by the strong support offered for the bill by local governments. Members of county planning departments, boards of supervisors and county administrators from “upwards of 30 jurisdictions” attended the hearing, Mr. McCarthy estimated. I The decision came after Del. Richard Cranwell, D-14th District, the bill’s sponsor, convinced the Senate committee to remove an amendment that would limit local governments’ conditional zoning power. ; Cranwell spent the past week lobbying senators on the Senate committee to remove an amendment that was pasted onto his bill by the House — an amendment that he said would change the intent of the bill. Del. Linda Rollins, R-32nd District, introduced a similar bill that would add only Fauquier to the list of those counties in Northern Virginia entitled to use conditional zoning. Both bills were slapped with identical amendments in the House. The Rollins bill did not get out of committee — apparently because it duplicates the Cranwell hill. By permitting proffers from the developer in rezoning cases, conditional zoning gives counties the power to extract payment for costs caused by the development. Del. Clinton Miller, R-28th District, and Del. John G. “Chip” Dicks, D-66th District, proposed an amendment that they said sets guidelines for these costs. “The amendment ties the proffers directly to the project, forcing the local governing body to have some rational nexus for the proffers,” said Dicks. “This is a fairer bill for all Virginian^,” said Miller. “There are no guidelines for conditional zoning today,” he said. The amendment stated that proffers would only be permitted if “all such conditions are necessitated by and attributable to the rezoning and not by any demand for public facilities which existed prior to said rezoning.” In addition, the conditions must be “primarily for the benefit of the property subject to the rezoning” and conform to the comprehensive plan of the county. “This cuts the heart out of what they’ve been able to do in Northern Virginia,” said Cranwell. Cranwell said the amendments set up a “Catch-22” situation by requiring localities to pay for existing infrastructure needs before requesting payment for development-related impact costs. The Virginia Home Builders Association favored the House amendments, calling them a “constitutional safeguard.” “Developers should not be made to pay for sins of the past,” said Karl Bowmer of the VHBA. One developer, Rick Hausler of Prince William, senior vice president of Kettler & Scott, spoke in favor of Cranwell’s bill without the amendments. Kettler & Scott is one of the largest development firms in Northern Virginia and a partner in the proposed Salem project in Marshall. The current system, said Hausler, “allows projects to go forward while being served by improved roads." The Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Municipal League also opposed the amendments, saying the changes would have “potentially devastating impact.” “This amendment would hurt Loudoun County, Prince William and Fairfax,” said Mrs. Rollins. In a letter to the Prince William Board of Supervisors, John H. Foote, Prince William county attorney wrote: “The proposed amendments to old conditional zoning are sufficiently dramatic that they could destroy the present equilibrium in development practices in Northern Virginia.” Foote contended that the new restrictions would slow down the planning and rezoning process. The changes, said Foote, would also eliminate proffers of property for public facilities such as school sites and fire stations. The direct link between the development and the impact may be difficult to prove. For example, Foote said, “While any given rezoning may be a major factor in the need for new schools, there will rarely be a rezoning so large that it alone generates the need for a new school.” Dicks said that there is a precedent of abuse in the current system. “Sometimes extractions turn into extortion,” said Dicks, adding that the existing system “lends itself to wheeling and dealing.” Foote argued that the “amendments assume what has never been, and cannot be proven, that the development community is incapable of protecting its interests in the rezoning process, and that the localities use invidious means to overreach. The record is without evidence.” Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th District, a member of the Committee on Local Government and Clinton Miller’s brother, supported the amendments, and voted twice against stripping the amendments from the bill. Sen. Miller’s district includes Rappahannock, Culpeper and part of Fauquier counties. “I’m philosophically opposed to extortion,” said the senator from Harrisonburg. “With the guidelines placed on conditional zoning, there would be a fairer bargaining position for each party,” he said. The conditional zoning bill is now headed for the Senate floor. Ben Jones, president of the Fauquier County chapter on the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association, said he plans to have the amendments reinserted on the Senate floor, according to Kristin Umstattd, an aide to Del. Rollins. Possibly to help limit the opposition, Jones is proposing a grandfather clause that would exempt the Northern Virginian counties currently entitled to conditional zoning, said Umstattd. “If he succeeds, conditional zoning in Fauquier would be severely limited,” she said.

BLEWITT I Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — And they’re off! The Virginia Racing Commission held its first meeting in Richmond Monday, setting forth to the task of creating a state horse-racing industry. The first order of business was a decision to withhold licensing for any pari-mutuel betting until 1990, including flat tracks and steeplechase events. After voters of the Commonwealth last fall gave the okay for pari-mutuel betting, the fivemember commission was appointed by Gov. Gerald L. Babies to plan and oversee the horse-racing operations. The commission was sworn in by Sandra D. Bowen, the secretary of the Commonwealth, during ceremonies at the State Capitol. Commission members then elected John Hale Shenefield of Arlington to be their first chairman. Shenefield is a former Richmond lawyer who served as an assistant attorney general in the antitrust division of the Justice Department. Arthur W. Arundel of The Plains, president of Arundel Communications, and Audrey Dixon of Richmond, director of manufacturing planning for Philip Morris, are also on the commission. Other members of the commission include Fred G. Pollard of Richmond, a former lieutenant governor and a member of the William, Mullen, Christion and Dobbins law firm, and Leonard M. Walters of Gloucester, a retired FBI official. Starting from scratch, the commission’s responsibilities include determining the location of a first race track. “Virginia has the pieces of the formula to make this industry work,” said guest speaker Nick Nicholson, executive director of the Jockey Club of Lexington, Ky. However, Nicholson warned against making the same mistakes as Alabama, whose horseracing industry failed, he said, as a result of lack of experience and capital. T rapezoid in concert This past Saturday, Trapezoid performed for an overflow crowd at the Bams of Wolf Trap. Area residents will have a chance to see the group, which is based in Rappahannock County, on March 3 and 4 at the Town Hall in Washington. Trapezoid and the Golden Key Performance Group use the Town Hall for their regular rehearsals and workshops. According to Trapezoid founder, Paul Reisler, “Performing at home, in the place where you always rehearse, is a wonderful experience. Not only do you have all your friends in the audience, but you also have a space that you’ve warmed up with hundreds of hours of music.” Trapezoid features Reisler playing guitar, bass and hammered dulcimer; Bob Read on winds, keyboards and vocals; Anne Louise White, vocals and keyboards; Cheryl Hurwitz on violin and vocals; and Tim Valdes on percussion, mandolin, dobro and banjo. They are currently working on a sixth Trapezoid album and have recently recorded albums with John McCutcheon, Si Kahn and Sally Rogers. Advanced tickets are available at the Village Cafe and Culpeper Music and are highly recommended, as all of their previous concerts here have " been sold out. For more information call 675-3946.

Mon -Fn Published by Arundel Newspapers Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1989 Wetlands are vital to Bay's survival BY LEO SNEAD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Despite federal programs to protect them, wetlands are being lost at an alarming rate in Virginia. Tens of thousands of acres of this resource so vital to the survival of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem have already disappeared from the state’s landscape forever. And the loss continues at an average rate of over 3,000 acres per year. Opinion This should concern everyone, because wetlands are a vital component of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. Wetlands are just that, wet land supporting a diversity of plants and animals. Some common wetland areas include marshes, wet meadows, bog and swamps. Scientists use three characteristics to define wetlands: the presence of water, the presence of wetland plants and the presence of the appropriate type of soil necessary to support wetland plants. Wetlands, both those influenced by tides and non-tidal, are recognized as some of the most ecologically productive areas on earth, serving many important functions: • Water Quality — Wetlands act as filters, removing nutrients, metals, toxics and sediments from the water. • Fish and Wildlife Habitat — Hundreds of species of birds, mammals, fish and plants depend on wetlands for nesting areas, food, cover and habitat. • Shoreline Erosion Control — Wetlands decrease the rate of erosion by anchoring the shore with their roots, slowing water velocities and promoting sedimentation. • Flood Control — Wetlands aid in flood control by storing flood waters, decreasing the speed of flow and reducing peak flood flows. • Ground Water Discharge/Recharge — Wetlands often occur in places where ground water surfaces and in some cases maintain stream flows during the year. Additionally, some wetlands store water that eventually feeds ground water supplies. • Recreation — Wetlands are important recreational areas, widely used for hunting, fishing, canoeing and birdwatching. Wetlands are threatened by draining, filling and clearing for agricultural activities, urban development, improper forest harvesting, timber road construction and the creation of ponds and lakes. More than 62 percent of the losses in Virginia were caused by conversion to agricultural lands and channelization associated with agricultural activities. Although these activities were once encouraged by the federal farm program, the “Swampbuster” provision of the 1985 Federal Farm Bill now discourages wetlands conversions. These efforts, along with the proposed state protection program, should help to minimize wetlands losses on agricultural lands. Forestry activities, if improperly conducted, can also greatly impact wetlands. Since most of Virginia’s non-tidal wetlands are forested, a biD currently before the legislature would prescribe Best Management Practices (BMPs) developed and overseen by the State Forestry Department. Virginia must do much more, however, to protect its wetlands. Federal protection of these resources — under section 404 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — is limited. Exemptions to the 404 program allow a number of activities to occur that can destroy w etlands. Moreover, despite their immense value in the Bay region, there is no state protection program for non-tidal wetlands in Virginia. Although some agencies have programs that affect non-tidal wetlands, no state agency is specifically empowered to protect them. Yet, fourteen other states have their own non-tidal wetlands protection programs. About two-thirds of all of Virginia’s non-tidal wetlands exist in the Coastal Plain, a region that is experiencing some of the most intense development in the state. It is also where a large percentage of historical wetlands loss has occurred. There is good news to report about the fight to save the Old Dominion’s wetlands, however. Gov. Baliles and his counterparts in Maryland, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia signed the historic new Chesapeake Bay Agreement in December 1987 that pledges “to develop a Bay-wide policy for the protection of tidal and non-tidal wetlands by December 1988.” A 1987 report by Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Land Use Roundtable, a working group of various public and private representatives, concluded “The importance of non-tidal wetlands in Virginia needs to be recognized and a legislative initiative developed to preserve them.” Legislation to protect non-tidal wetlands was introduced during the 1988 General Assembly session as part of Gov. Baliles’ legislative priorities package for the Bay. The legislation minimizes the loss and destruction of non-tidal wetlands but does not prohibit necessary activities in wetland areas. A conservative approach was applied in defining “wetlands” — all three of the listed characteristics must be present at a given site — that significantly narrows the number of areas that could be classified as wetlands under the legislation. The bill passed the House of Delegates by an overwhelming margin. A Senate subcommittee has been appointed to study the bill for the coming year in time for the 1989 legislative session. These encouraging developments come not a moment too soon. .Given their immense value and proven vulnerability to development, farming and other human activities, non-tidal wetlands are in desperate need of our help. We must act now to protect and preserve them if we want to help save the Bay. Mr. Snead is staff scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. VA Hospital limits services Due .to budget limitations, the VA Medical Center at Martinsburg will be forced to limit the treatment of veterans the Virginia Department of Veterans Affairs announced. All service-connected veterans and those on VA pension, as well as all emergencies will be seen and treated the department emphasized. All other veterans will be required to provide the VAMC with a financial statement. If your income is such that you are a Category “A,” you will be provided treatment and medication on a space/time available basis, the spokesman said. Currently, the Category A financial limit is $15,000 for single veterans and $18,000 for married veterans. If you have any questions regarding treatment, please call the VA Medical Center at (304) 263-0811 before going, the spokesman requested. Veterans with questions concerning their benefits should call the Virginia Department of Veterans Affairs at (703) 635-4201, or stop by the office in Front Royal at 24 East Stonewall Drive.

Letters to the editor Not owners, but care takers Thrift Shop alternative To the editor: Since moving to Rappahannock , County more than 20 years ago, I have learned td treasure the incredible beauty of this special place. I have to pull off to the side of the road every now and then to stare at an especially beautiful sight. At those times, I just cannot believe how lucky I am to call Rappahannock my home. During the past year, however, I have been pulling off to the side of the road to stare at unbelievable blight! Favorite country roads, such as Route 729 between Flint Hill and Ben Venue, Route 659 to Marshall, and Route 663 of Resettlement Road have become trash-strewn, suburban-sprawl thoroughfares. In one particularly tragic case, an historic county landmark — a lovely fieldstone residence — now sits check-by-jowl with a garish monster of a house that completely overwhelms its historic neighbor. The pseudo-country design of the clapboard contemporary looks for all the world like an oversized barn, except for the fact that it was built practically on top of the fieldstone residence. In another grim instance, three pre-fab houses appeared almost overnight, forming a perfect suburban line with two existing ramblers. Such a Fairfax-like development would be bad enough in one of the county’s towns or even clustered in a high-density area. But to situate so many homes with no consideration to neighbors or nature seems selfish and short-sighted. I know that these families consider it their right to do anything they want with “their” land. I know that all of this construction represents a lot of folks’ dreams. And as I have worked hard over the years to earn an honest living for my family, I know the importance of nurturing my family’s dreams. But I have never thought for one instant that our dreams had to be fulfilled at the expense of others — everyone and everything else be damned. None of us “owns” land — we are merely caretakers of it for generations to come. In 50 or 100 or 1,000 years, how will we be remembered? My dream is that we will be blessed by our children’s children as vigilant, careful stewards of their most treasured inheritance. D.W. FREEMAN Flint Hill To the editor As of now the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department do not have a designated place for donated items to be dropped off.

Op-Ed A bureaucratic nightmare — not gun control By DEL. ANDY GUEST Kappahannock News Contributing Writer * The halfway point of this year’s General As^sembly Session was reached on Tuesday when the ' $0USe ant* Senate completed their work and emptied their individual legislative dockets. -1 On Wednesday the two houses passed their posters on to each other for further discussion and debate. If the volume of phone calls and letters to my office this week are any indication of what the 'ouse will be dealing with as a hot issue during ‘ie last two weeks of the Session, that issue iuld be a controversial Senate bill that calls for criminal background check and a 10-day waiting '^riod for the legal purchase of an automatic or mi-automatic handgun or rifle, such as the AK ’ and copies of an Israeli Uzi machine pistol. Proponents argue that the bill will prevent violent shooting incidents such as those which have occurred recently in Richmond and Virginia Beach. i! I Opponents counter by saying that the paperwork involved will only clog up the current records keeping system further and that this bill Mil do very little to keep these weapons out of the bands of violent, dangerous criminals. *1* -t * My office records to date show a 2 to 1 margin opposing the bill. Those who say this bill would have prevented the Richmond and Virginia Beach crimes need to look closer at the facts. In Richmond the murderer had stolen the gun from the car of an offduty police officer. This legislation does not prevent or delay the sale of such guns to state or federal law enforcement officers, so the Richmond murder would not have been prevented with this bill. As for the Virginia Beach tragedy, the murderer was a minor who would have automatically been prevented from buying such a weapon because of his age. Instead, he obtained the gun from an adult relative. How can we effectively legislate against these occurences. Our constitution preserves the rights of citizens to protect their families, their homes, and their property. My responsibility is to preserve those constitutional rights. At the same time, however, as a Virginia legislator I am also charged with the responsibility to see that threats to life and property are punished with the strongest criminal laws that can be enforced. As much as I abhor the taking of innocent life by these weapons, the answer is not paperwork, it’s enforcement of our laws. Criminals and murderers will always find a way to steal or illegally buy fireartns to commit their crimes. Reputable dealers are not on their supply list. Price is no object for them, except the price they pay when they are caught—heavy jail time or execution. Our courts and our law enforcement officers are our only protection against the violent misuse of guns. In the meantime honest citizens who purchase firearms from legitimate dealers for protection of their homes, property, or as collectors wind up paying the price with bureaucratic paperwork. Law enforcement officials across the Commonwealth appear to be split in their evaluation of this Senate Bill, and legitimate firearms dealers see this bill as a nightmare of paper. In the end, protection of human life is the bottom line. However, do not be fooled—this bill is not the answer. Stronger law enforcement and heavy courtroom penalties are required. I welcome your opinion on this and other issues before us in the remaining two weeks. Andy Guest represents Rappahannock County in Virginia's House of Delegates. The Front Royal Republican, who serves as the House Minority Leader, is also a candidate for Governor. George Washington and the origins of the presidency By DR. FORREST MCDONALD Rappahannock News Contributing; Writer The presidency of the United States was created for George Washington, and in many respects it was created by him as well. The office came into existence in that manner because the Founding Fathers could find no other solution to a dilemma brought about by the Revolution. The colonists’ experience with King George III of England had instilled them with fear of executive power, but the course of events since independence had convinced -them that government without an executive branch degenerates into anarchy. The authors of the Constitution, instead of coping with the problem, passed the buck. Ri.i In drafting Article II, they sketched the powers and duties of fhe president in general terms, and left it to Washington — who was the -only man the American people would i trust to be the first president — to Jill in the details by the precedents . he established. Washington, for his part, was less than eager to take on such an -^wesome responsibility. He accepted it out of a sense of duty, but resolved to proceed with caution. Accordingly, he tended at first to treat the Constitution as if it were a manual of instructions, adequate to cover every' situation that might arise. Experience taught him otherwise, and in that sense he was like his successors — he had to learn the job on the job. ,The Constitution, for instance, empowered the president to make treaties “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.” One Saturday morning in 1789, Washington iqid Secretary of War Henry Knox showed up in the Senate chambers to seek the advice and consent of the members on a proposed Indian Treaty. " General embarrassment and confusion ensued, for the Senate was too large and too committed to legislative procedures to serve as an effective advisory body. Washington never again sought the advice of the Senate. Instead, he presented it with finished treaties and asked only (its consent. But that left the president without a constitutionally established council of advisors, and he needed one. During the war, Washington had regularly assembled his top officers for full discussions before he made decisions, and he found it difficult to function any other way. The obvious solution was to use his department heads as an advisory council; but the Constitution authorized the president only to “require” their opinions “in writing,” and said nothing about consultations or verbal opinions. For that reason, it was not until the end of 1791 that Washington called a meeting of his “cabinet” (which, at first, included the vice president). It was not until 1793, during the French Revolutionary War crisis, that Washington began to hold cabinet meetings as a regular procedure. Another feature of the Constitution also discomfited Washington. The Constitution requires the president to swear an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.” Washington took that provision seriously and literally, and assumed that the veto power was provided mainly as a means of blocking unconstitutional legislation. He was no expert in constitutional theory, however, and was not at all certain as to how and when he should use the power. The issue first arose early in 1791, when Congress passed a bill chartering a corporation, the Bank of the United States. Many people, including “the Father of the Constitution,” James Madison, insisted that the bill was unconstitutional. Washington turned to Attorney General Edmund Randolph, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, and Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton for written opinions. The first two argued one way, Hamilton precisely the opposite. Washington followed Hamilton’s advice and signed the bill, but the episode left him uncomfortable. Two years later, when another complex constitutional question came up, Washington asked the Supreme Court for an advisory opinion, but the Court declined to give one. Thereafter, Washington made common sense his guide in settling constitutional questions. Thus in 17%, when the House of Representatives demanded the papers of a diplomatic mission that had resulted in an unpopular treaty with Great Britain, Washington read the Constitution, found in it no provision giving the House a share in the treaty-making power, and refused. In one vital particular Washington did, from the very beginning, follow his own judgment rather than the words of the Constitution. He understood, intuitively, that the presidency is inherently dual in nature, that carrying out constitutionally specified duties is only half the job. The other half is ceremonial, symbolic and inspirational, and it is crucially important. Washington recognized that if the presidency, and with it the Constitution itself, were to endure he must conduct himself with just the right balance between too much and too little formality. If he were stately and aloof, he could destroy trust by reawakening the American fear of monarchy. If he were folksy and warm, he could undermine popular respect for the dignity of the office. He managed to strike the golden mean, but even for a man of his gifts the doing required steady effort. Some of Washington’s advisors recognized that executive ability is a far different thing from the capacity to inspire confidence as a symbol ol See ORIGINS, p. 15 Don*t Be Alarmed!

Blacks warned about high glaucoma risk Anyone can develop glaucoma, a serious eye disease caused by too much pressure within the eye.^owever, blacks are 4 to 8 times more likely to develop glaucoma than whites. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in blacks, particularly affecting those who are middle-aged, according to statistics released by the Virginia Affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness. Glaucoma usually doesn’t have any symptoms in the early stages. That is why half of the more than two million Americans who have glaucoma don’t know they have it. Glaucoma often remains undetected until some sight is lost. Unfortunately, vision lost to glaucoma can never be restored, but treatment can halt the progress of the disease. According to Frank J. Carlomagno, Executive Director of the Virginia Affiliate, warning signs that glaucoma is present include: frequent changes of eye glasses, none of which is satisfactory; inability to adjust the eyes to dark rooms, such as theaters; loss of side vision; blurred or foggy vision; rainbow-colored rings around lights. “Remember that you may be free of glaucoma when you’re 35 years old, but have it at 40,” Mr. Carlomagno stressed. “Keep in mind, too, that having any of these symptoms does not necessarily mean you have glaucoma. The symptoms may be indications of less serious eye trouble. Regular, professional eye exams are the best defense against the loss of sight from glaucoma and other serious eye disorders. ” ftappafjantiock jfietos gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year.

If you are black and also fall into any one of these categories, your chances of developing glaucoma are even higher, Mr. Carlomagno warned. February is Black History Month and the Virginia Affiliate-National Society to Prevent Blindness is urging all blacks to make an appointment as soon as possible with a qualified eye care professional, even is no vision loss is evident. Regular eye exams at least once every two years can save sight by detecting glaucoma in its early stages—when treatment can prevent further vision loss. Learning more about glaucoma can help minimize the needless loss of vision. For more information about glaucoma, send a stamped, self-addressed, business size envelope to: Prevent Blindness, 3820 Augusta Ave., Richmond, Va. 23230. Other materials and audiovisual aids on glaucoma are also available.

Turkey becoming a year-round treat By SANRRA RICHARDSON Extension Aftnt, Home Economica A reader called in requesting this article be written. We would like to hear from you. Should you have a —topic you would like to see addressed, please call the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service at 6753619. When our country was in its be, winnings, the turkey was nominated ^to be displayed on our Great Seal and the dollar. It suffered a loss to the bald eagle. Perhaps if the vote were taken today, the results would be quite different. «*' Since 1960, Americans have nearly doubled their annual consumption of turkey to 11.5 pounds. And they’ve discovered that this bird isn’t merely a holiday trapping. Thirty years ago, 90 percent of all turkey produced in this country was eaten in November and December. Now 60 percent is consumed from January to September. To everything there is a season — except eating turkey. Turkeys were present at the first settlers’ Thanksgiving tables, but fossil evidence indicated that they were roaming the North American continent 10 million years ago. Thinking they were near India when they arrived in the New World, Columbus and his crew mistakenly called turkeys “tuka,” an Indian word for peacock. But they weren’t as far from the mark with the bird as they were on the map. The turkey is actually a relative of the peacock. Early settlers brought domesticated birds from Europe and crossed them with the big wild turkeys that roamed in large flocks from the Atlantic coast to the R'ockies and from the Great Lakes into Central America. As today’s modem turkey has outgrown its holiday image of the whole roasted bird, it has become increasingly available cut up in a variety of raw and cooked forms. Prepackaged turkey parts (breast, thigh, and leg quarters, wings, and drumsticks) and specialty cuts (steaks, tenderloins, cutlets, cubed steak and ground turkey) fit right into today’s lifestyles and food demands: quick and easy to prepare, low in fat and cholesterol, and high in nutritional value. Turkey is delicately flavored and combines well with many spices, sauces, seasonings and other foods to offer great flexibility in menu planning. Turkey parts work well in a variety of recipes and cooking methods. For a change of pace, use ground turkey in place of beef in chili and to mato sauce; turn cutlets made from turkey breast into roulades or stroganoff; cook turkey steaks as kabobs or fondue; or use thighs or drumsticks in goulash, stews or ragouts. Turkey is very economically priced when compared to other meats, and for true convenience, fully-cooked turkey is available in several forms. Can you believe that ready-to-eat salami, sauiage, “ham,” bologna, and hot dogs can all be made from turkey? And that cooked turkey breasts (plain, smoked and barbequed) offer great convenience for use in salads, sandwiches and snacks. When separated and sold as parts, turkey becomes a much more versatile meat.

Facts about turkey parts Turkey parts are available eithe fresh or frozen in most super kets. Some types may be sold botl] boneless and bone-in. Following are some of the different turkey parts most widely available, and some suggested uses for each. Cutlets or slices: These slices ofi breast meat usually weigh about twcfj ounces each. They are tender andf may be sauteed, braised, sliced intoj strips and stir-fried, pan-broiled or* microwaved. Steaks: These are cross-cut^ pieces of breast meat, usually 1/2 to 1J inch thick. They are good for broiling, pan-frying, grilling or braising, particularly if they are more than 1/2-inch thick. Since turkey has little fat except just under the skin, a marinade, combined with frequent basting during cooking, will keep the meat from drying out. Beginning the cooking at high heat will also sear the surface, helping to seal in the juices. i i Ground turkey: A mixture of white and dark meat, or all dark, this is becoming a popular low-cost & substitute for ground beef. It is?“ usually available frozen in one- orr two-pound tubes. It can be sauteed, pan-fried, simmered in broth, micro- h waved, or formed into patties and P grilled or broiled. b Drumsticks: The turkey’s lower t* leg portion, made of dark meat. It is 5* found fresh or frozen, usually whole {■ with the skin on. Each drumstick " weighs between 1/2 and 1-1/2 pounds. The meat is tender and fla- H vorful, however there are tendons fj which run through the drumsticks** which should be removed before eat?f* ing. They may be braised, stewed; barbecued, oven-fried or roasted, See RECIPES, p. l£

Rappahannock Journal Talk, slides feature Indian art As a child, Barbara Stinson wanted to be an Indian, and she played at being a cowboy. She spent her summer vacations in the West at camps for girls, and returned as a teen-ager to work as a wrangler at those same camps. And -all year long, she saved her allowance and the money she earned from baby-sitting and odd jobs. She would spend it during those summer vacations, buying things the Indians had made. •- Today, those mementos of trips to the Southwest and the rugs, jewelry, pottery, baskets, kachinas, .musical instruments and miniatures ■ she’s added in the intervening 50 years add up to a major collection of Native American art. ■ > During her almost annual trips to the Southwest for a half-century, Mrs. Stinson has learned much about Indian art and crafts and much about their philosophy and life style. She has lived with a Hopi family. She’s seen the Apache puberty ceremony at Cibeque, Navaho squaw dances and sings, Rio Grande Pueblo dances, the snake dance ceremony and the dawn races on the Hopi mesas. Mrs. Stinson will share both her knowledge of Indian ways and Indian art and selected pieces from her collection at a special slide show, talk and mini-exhibit sponsored by the Middle Street Gallery on Friday, Feb. 17. Mrs. Stinson’s collection, One Woman's West, has been exhibited at museums from Daytona Beach, Fla., to Sturgeon Bay, Wis., as well as being displayed frequently in the Southwestern states. “It reflects the taste, the interest and the love of the West of one person who was guided and encouraged by family and by knowledgeable Western friends, artists and traders,” she said, modestly ducking praise for her acumen as a collector. “The magic of the West has always been a part of my life.

She remembers trading for moccasins with a Navajo woman at her hogan, and trading with another for a necklace of green turquoise nuggets. The beauty and spirit of the Southwest called her back again and again. Then, Indian art was little appreciated and little valued. For 50 cents, Mrs. Stinson bought drawings by young Indian artists who are now internationally famous, and for $1 or $2 she bought baskets which are now worth upward of $500. First to her family home in Illinois, and later to Warrenton where she and her husband settled with their four children, she brought back Indian paintings and bronze sculptures, Navajo rugs and concho belts and Hopi dolls, pottery and baskets. With their children, Dr. and Mrs. Stinson spent summers exploring the Southwest, and a second generation of collectors was born. “At the Indian market in Santa Fe, the children would go off on their own to barter and buy. Each of them developed their own field of interest — baskets, pottery, rugs, fetishes or kachina dolls — while maintaining a love for all of these crafts. And all of us had a special appreciation for the old jewelry which had become the backbone of the collection." “One summer in Santa Fe we learned about the methods and tools used by early silversmiths. We were taught some of the ways to estimate the age of a piece and to unravel the history of a bracelet, belt or necklace by inspecting the stamps, leather, string and amount of wear,” she continued. “We began to understand what was involved in the creation of this jewelry and to associate the dedication of those who created these works of art.” As she studied the collection, Mrs. Stinson began to realize the quality of all that she had gathered over 50 years. “I had always been a list-maker, so I had it all catalogued. I decided to put together photographs of the pieces and take them to the museum in Taos. I was all fear and trembling,” she admitted, laughing at the memory. “I went in, looked around, and then went right back out to the car!” Her collection was a labor of love, and she couldn’t imagine that it would interest the experts. ‘‘Then I told myself, ‘Barbara, you’re an idiot! You’ve done all this work, now get back in there’!” Never again has Mrs. Stinson questioned her judgment of the value she saw in those mementos of the Southwest. The director looked at the photographs and called in the curator, and they immediately set about arranging an exhibit. In the programs for exhibits of her collection, the experts have said this: • about the jewelry — “Some were admired and acquired for their prize-winning aesthetics, others for their character or history. All are marvelous examples of Native American workmanship and design.” • about the Pueblo pottery — “Some of the very finest wares by reknowned craftspeople.” • about the miniatures — “They display a meticulous craftsmanship and have a universal appeal.” • of the collection as a whole — “It allows the viewer to enjoy varied and highly-crafted domestic objects produced in the American Southwest by the principal cultures of that region over a 100-year period of development and change. Moreover, these artistic objects also allow the viewer to see deeply into the cultures represented. Motifs, choice of design elements, size and subject matter all help contribute to a better understanding of these first Americans.” And for Mrs. Stinson? What has she gained from this lifelong labor of love? “The pleasures derived from building this collection are many,” she explained. “The wonderful months spent roaming the West, the excitement of finding an especially fine piece, the constant gain of knowledge and appreciation of beauty, and the many friends among the craftsmen, artists, traders and collectors.” February Is Black FHistory Month 347-READ 347-7323 NEW LEAF BOOKSTORE _ nn ————-— PRESIDENTS’ DAY SALE February 20th All Books & Tapes 15% OFF Register to win $ 1000 Silver Dollars _ Towne Centre Shopping Center giveaway sponsored by Towne Centre Warrenton Merchants Assoc Drawing Feb 20.

Eliot, Langston Hughes, Elizabeth Bishop and Sylvia Plath. The programs will be held at the Rappahannock County High School auditorium every other Tuesday, beginning at 7 p.m., through April 11. Leading the discussions for each program in the series, and presenting a sixth program on his own works, will be George Mason University English professor Peter Klappert. He is the author of five books of poetry, the titles of which may give some clues to his personality: Lugging Vegetables to Nantucket (1971), Circular Stairs (1975), Non Sequitar O’Conner (1977), ’52 Pickup (198k), and The Idiot Princess of the Last Dynasty (198k). His poetry appears widely in journals and magazines, among them Poetry, Paris Review, American Poetry Review, Harper's and The Atlantic Monthly, and is included in numerous anthologies and textbooks. Prof. Klappert’s honors and awards include The Yale Series of Younger Poets competition, a number of grants and fellowships amd the Distinguished Faculty Award bestowed by George Mason University. He directed the school’s graduate writing program during its inception in 1979-80, and again from 1985-88. Following is an interview with Prof. Klappert, describing his special interest in bringing poetry out into the community and schools. Prof. Klappert, how did you get 2 W PETER KLAPPERT involved with the Voices and Visions series? “My first encounter with the Voices and Visions video series was at the Associated Writing Programs’ annual meeting in Savannah, Ga., in 1984. AWP is the national organization of writing programs and writers who teach, and as part of the meeting that year, we previewed the Voices and Visions film on Ezra Pound. That film, by the way, was the first of the films completed and the only one to use the original 90minute format. “That film on Pound has been criticized for dwelling too much on Pound’s political and economic fanaticism and not enough on his central place in the evolution of 20th-century art (indeed, all the arts!), but I was powerfully moved and impressed by it nonetheless. “Later in the meeting I found the opportunity to talk with Lawrence Pitkethly, executive director of the New' York Center for Visual History and executive producer for the whole series. I approached him as a teacher interested in a new learning aid — I was interested in showing some of the films to my students at George Mason University. “Before that could be arranged, however, I received an invitation to the premiere of the PBS film on Robert Frost, which was sponsored by former Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O’Neill, at a big lavish ‘do’ on Capitol Hill. Again I talked with people involved in the production, and things moved closer to some showings at GMU. v “In this same conversation I was shocked to learn that — Oh, no! they couldn’t premiere the film on America’s greatest poet, Walt Whitman, on Capitol Hill: he was still far too controversial. “The following yeW I arranged for GMU to show the films on Pound and Frost, and we invited Pitkethly down lrom New York to introduce them, talk about the Voices and Visions concept, and to field questions. Later we also showed — or rather, had the regional premiere — of the film on Emily Dickinson. We tried to get Whitman, but it was not yet complete. “So, I’ve been interested in and enthusiastic about this series for more than four years, and I’ve done what I can to promote it. Indeed, when WETA, the public television station in Washington, D.C.. showed the series, they scheduled it for an inconvenient time, kept shifting the times around and then finally dropped it for their fund-raising drive. “Though I’m not a ‘Letter to the editor’ writer, I sent the station an indignant letter, and received an apologetic call back from the vice president for programming! I’m glad to say they later rescheduled the entire series, so if enough of us speak up for poetry, things can happen.” Prof. Klappert, please tell us about some of your experiences relative to our program, which will bring poetry out of the classroom and into the community. “While most of my employment has been through colleges and universities, I’ve also done a great deal of work in the public schools, in adult education, in community-based arts See POETRY, p. 15 t KOONS Chevrolet Oldsmobile Routes 7 & 15, Leesburg, VA 478-1822 (Metro) Leesburg (703)777-3800 Winchester (703)662-8324 1 QQQ SPECTRUMS ^ Clearance priced at $5T9500 while they last!!

Sports and Outdoor Life Stumbling Panthers drop third in a row By joe McCullough j Rappahannock News Special Writer The Rappahannock Panthers i squandered a 15-point lead Tuesday j night at home and lost their third straight game, this one to the George Mason Mustangs, 70-56. The loss dropped their record to &5 in the District and 12-5 overall. The Panthers are now in fourth place in the Bull Run and are likely tt> meet the Brentsville Cougars in the first round of the upcoming district tournament. Against George Mason, the Panthers were slow out of the gate, turning the ball over four times in the first three minutes to fall behind 7-2, but senior Eric Dunn calmed his team down and with a smooth threepointer put Rappahannock on top, 97. • Doug Smith added a tip-in for a 12-9 lead and RCHS had their fast break offense in gear, but on defense the Panthers were allowing George Mason plenty of penetration before they applied any pressure. Trailing 16-14 at the end of the first quarter, Rappahannock’s boys played a little volleyball under their basket and let time run out before they could score. In the second period the Panthers delighted the home crowd with their special brand of up-tempo play. Following a turnover, Danny Ellis glided through the lane for the tying bucket at 16. Julian Groves layed in an offensive rebound to put it at 1816, then Ellis repeated his Barishnikov imitation two more times for a 24-17 advantage. The Panthers went until the final minute of the second period before turning the ball over, and took a 3625 edge into the locker room. They outgunned the Mustangs 22-9 in the second quarter. But the most surprising statistic was team fouls: only five for the first time in several weeks with no one in foul trouble. George Mason started the second half with four points from long range, extending Rappahannock’s zone. With less pressure under the basket, the Mustangs fed the ball to their 6-foot-4 center Matt Miller, who played his finest game of the season, totaling 24 points. The well-coached Mustangs were consistent in every facet of play, es Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan CONTRIBUTING CONSISTENCY to the Panthers’ offense, senior Eric Dunn goes up for two points against the Stonewall Jackson Generals last week.

But Dunn finished the period with a pair of buckets, one from long range to up the lead to 50-43. In the final period the Panthers’ troubles started right away with three turnovers which led to seven Mason points and a 50-50 deadlock. To make matters worse, Anthony Porter picked up his fourth foul, and Smith was left alone to defend against GM’s big men. Capitalizing on their size advantage, the Mustangs built a 58-54 lead with three minutes remaining. Porter returned for a blocked shot and Julian Groves raced down the court for two to set the score at 56-58. Rappahannock never scored again, missing three front ends of one-and-ones and Mason tallied the game’s final 12 points for the 70-56 upset. Coach Leake said his team had made a complete turnaround since last week. “Anytime you score six points in a quarter (fourth), you're not going to win.” saw the big turning point come when George Mason started getting the ball to their big men in the second half. "I always tell my guys to make adjustments, not excuses,” said Coach Leake. “We didn’t do that tonight and Miller ate us up. ” The Mustangs’ big man scored 17 points in the second half including eight of nine from the foul line. The Panthers were an abysmal three of 11 from the line, with most of their misses coming on the front end of one-and-ones. Dunn had 24 points in' the game, none of them in the final period. The jayvees posted an easy 73-45 win, paced by 15 points from Paul Hitt and Kenneth Baldwin.

By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer The Rappahannock Panthers dug themselves a hole last week when they dropped two Bull Run District contests. On Wednesday the Panthers battled hard before succumbing to Virginia’s sixth-ranked Central Falcons 79-70. Then on Friday, still reeling from the emotional battle for first place, RCHS was whipped by the Strasburg Rams, 74-50. The Central game was a classic confrontation between two strongwilled and talented teams. At moments it seemed doubtful that the small Woodstock gymnasium could withstand the high energy level of the rowdy fans, high-strung coaches and enthusiastic players. The game also featured the Bull Run’s two premier players: Brett Walters and Eric Dunn. The Panthers drew first blood when Eric Dunn scored on the opening possession. Doug Smith added another bucket for a 4-0 advantage. With a little over a minute left in the first quarter, Rappahannock held a 17-9 lead. And Falcon ace Brett Walters had two fouls, both drawn on charges. But despite some very physical play, especially on the offensive boards, Walters escaped the whistle for the remainder of the contest. The Panthers were not so lucay as their ballhandler, Julian Groves, picked up three fouls in the opening period. RCHS coach Gary Leake was forced to keep his floor general on the bench the rest of the half. Central finished the opening quarter with a 7-0 run to narrow the Panthers’ lead, 17-16. Central went ahead by one just moments into the second quarter. The advantage changed hands a couple of times before the Falcons gained it for good with three minutes remaining in the half, 29-27. Rappahannock was dealt another blow when Danny Ellis drove the lane and was knocked hard to the ground. There was no whistle and little movement by Ellis. Concerned for his player. Coach Leake sprinted onto the court and was slapped with a technical foul. Walters hit both charity shots and the Falcons converted on the ensuing possession, upping the margin to 37-29. The Panthers countered with the half s final four points and w ent into the locker room trailing by four, 3733. Coach Leake was optimistic at the intermission: “We played the whole second period with one of our best players (Groves) on the bench and only trailed by two buckets. That’s not too bad.” In the third period the Falcons’ pestering defense took its toll on the @MR DOLLAR 1 The_Brand That Fits LADIES’* MEN’S Sale ends Feb. 20,1989 LADIES’ • MEN'S 4^ •* Prewashed Riders ...$16 Blue Move Riders...$19 LADIES’ • MEN’S Jk ^ Stretch Riders_$20 LADIES’• MEN’S + » Exotic Jeans___$21 I The BARGAIN CORNER 1-Stop Wrangler Store OMTownWfcrMCheeter (703)662-4672 1 -P * .<?' j X'l Give Your Sweetheart a ROMANTIC EVENING at COMFORT INN r '95 $65 INCLUDES: I V King Size Room * Long Stemmed Rose V Dinner at Ashby St. Cafe* V Complimentary Continental V Box of Chocolates Breakfast For Reservations Call 349-8900 i We V Guests 'Choice Of Dinners Kansas City Strip Combination Grande' Chicken/Steak Fajitas New Mexican Chef Package Available Through Feb. 28 .

Central got off a number of uncontested layups due to Rappahannock’s generosity to make it 4535. * They say misfortune comes in threes. That was never more true than in the third quarter when Panther stalwart Eric Dunn was called for his fourth foul. Teammate Julian Groves did a good job of keeping the Panthers close with a pair of jumpers, narrowing the gap 55-51. But without the District’s leading scorer the Panthers couldn’t muster the firepower to come any closer, losing 79-70. After the game Coach Leake said he was very proud of his boys because despite being down 14 in the final period, they never stopped giving 100 percent. “The difference in the game was rebounding and free throws,” Leake said. The Falcons controlled the boards in the final three periods, 3227; they also won the battle at the line, connecting on 20 of 25 while RCHS hit 11 of 15. Rappahannock handed the Falcons their only loss earlier this season and Leake would like to play Central again. “We’ve both won a battle. We need to finish the war.” Walters had game honors with 29 points and Dunn paced the Panthers with 25. Three other Panthers were in double figures; Groves (15), Ellis (10), and Porter (10). Mental mistakes and sloppy ballhandling crippled the Rappahannock Panthers on Friday when they surrendered 74-50 to the Strasburg Rams. Rappahannock was never in the game as the Rams gained a strong hold on second place and dropped RCHS to fourth. The flat cats wasted no time giving the Rams control. All five starters picked up a foul in the first three minutes, allowing Strasburg to run off a 7-1 lead. Doug Smith hit Rappahannock’s first bucket after four minutes had elapsed to cut the lead to 7-3. SCHS outgunned the Panthers 9-2 in the next three minutes and went on to a 20-12 first-quarter lead. Smith accounted for 10 of Rappahannock’s points. Supported by two Dunn buckets and an offensive rebound and followthrough by Ellis, the Panthers staged their biggest rally to cut the difference to 26-29. Then with 33 seconds left in the first half, foulprone Anthony Porter was whistled for his third. With Porter on the bench, Strasburg organized another surge and lead 40-28 at the half. * Porter picked up his fourth early in the second half and, coupled with sloppy ballhandling, the Panthers fell behind 36-56. Soon after re-entering the game in the final period, Porter fouled out. Dunn also was forced to play the fourth quarter with four fouls. All five Rams scored double digits as RCHS dropped its second in a row, 74-50. “Central beat us twice this week, once physically and tonight mentally,” was all Coach Leake had to say at the end of the game. Leake hinted that the Panthers lacked the pride to play for second place, adding that he hoped his team could get back on track before postseason play.

I guess you could say I’ve had a passion for getting the arts out there — for building a community for the arts and of the arts — since I was in college. As a graduate student, I started a series of poetry and fiction readings and jam sessions in a local pub, and everywhere I’ve taught since then, I’ve helped start clubs for English majors, or writers’ clubs, or literary festivals, or whatever. “Every spring I go into three to five Northern Virginia high schools to talk about poetry, and I regularly offer eight-week, non-academic classes at The Writers’ Center in Bethesda. And then, a great many of the people one meets and works with, at such groups as The Maine Writer’s Workshop or The Martha’s Vineyard Writers’ Workshop on Fiction — are folks who like to write poetry without necessarily knowing a great deal about it. So we spend a lot of very enjoyable time discussing the things we’ve all read, not just the writing of the participants. “You know, I think everyone writes ‘poetry’ — or speaks it, or hears it — at various times in their lives. The poetry might be a letter, or a diary entry , or something heard over the phone, or a scrap of school notebook paper with some notes from biology class, but also some notes which just happened to be written on the day baby sister was born, or Fido was hit by a car. “What I mean is that we all have words which mean a great deal to us Origins Continued from page 5 nationhood, and foresaw that few presidents would be entirely adequate in both roles. Hamilton believed this to be an intrinsic flaw in the presidency, and thought Washington should remedy the problem by following the British example. That is, Washington should fill the symbolic role and turn the running of the government over to a cabinet headed by a “prime minister,” namely Hamilton himself. Jefferson thought Hamilton’s idea would amount to a return to monarchy and fiercely opposed it. Jefferson saw no reason why the president could not play both roles satisfactorily, and in fact when he became president he did so with consummate skill — but he was one of the few who could. Washington steered a middle course. He rejected Hamilton’s posiF & M dividend The Board of Directors of F & M National Corporation declared a regular first quarter cash dividend of 12 1/2 cents at its meeting Feb. 8. The dividend is payable March 27 to stockholders of record as of Feb. 24. and bring to mind specific images and events, and arouse deep emotions. Well, that’s a pretty good definition of poetry. But out of modesty and misunderstanding, we don’t call that ‘Poetry.’ No, for lots of people, capital-P-poetry is something we see in those big, dull books — the stuff you can’t understand, the stuff Mrs. Crabapple made you write themes about in the seventh grade. “Those readers don’t get to make the connection between the very personal words that mean so much to them and all the wonderful words written by poets which might also mean a great deal to them. “So, I like to talk about poetry and get other people excited about it. It’s just a question of nudging the door open a little. And I’m always amazed by the variety of people who like to read and write poems. Right now, in my graduate poetry classes, I have a stone mason, two nurses, a woman who is a lawyer, a salesman, a department store saleswoman, a young guy who used to write for a rock-and-roll magazine, another guy who had the opportunity to play pro football and turned it down, the foreman at a large cement contracting company, a secretary for the CIA, and a young woman who gave up her job at an oil company in Madras, India, to study poetry in Virginia. “For all these people, and for many more, poetry is very important. You know, I originally went to college to be a veterinarian? And every time I take my dog in for a check-up, I wonder where I went wrong!” For poetry books, information about the Voices and Visions series, or to register for the series, contact the Rappahannock County Library (675-3780). tion in principle but, in considerable measure, followed it in practice. However, he did attempt to keep abreast of everything that happened in the executive departments; for a time he actually refused to allow department heads to send out official letters until he had read and approved them. On the other hand, his administration took on an increasingly Hamiltonian character as time went by. Congress, in establishing the Treasury Department, had made the secretary responsible to the House as well as to the president, and in that split capacity Hamilton functioned as a virtual prime minister. Even with Hamilton, however, Washington reserved final authority and took ultimate responsibility. When Washington bowed out after his second term — setting a precedent that became a revered tradition — he had fulfilled his trust and confirmed the wisdom of the framers of the Constitution. By being the kind of man he was, he had made it possible for them to establish the presidency. By being the kind of president he was, he had made it possible for the office to evolve and endure. Dr. McDonald is Professor of History at the University of Alabama and is author of several acclaimed books, including We the People, Novus Ordo Seclorum and The Presidency of George Washington. A glimpse of the 'real' George Washington He probably lied as much as the next little boy, and the cherry tree story was fabricated by 18th-century elders trying to instill virtue in their children. He had a tremendous capacity for hard work, loved the outdoors and was a magnificent athlete, but he’s been remembered as stuffy and formal. Who was the “real” George Washington? It’s not hard to catch glimpses in the volumes of letters, journals, notes and observations that the father of our country left behind him. Folks in Rappahannock have a special interest in the great man. As a young man he surveyed the county seat, danced at the Washington House and slept around an open fire with the rest of his crew. The town that bears his name will be the scene of a one-man show by Bart Whiteman, the veteran actor and founder of the Source Theater in the “other” Washington. Mr. Whiteman developed his portrayal of the general for the “Monday Night at the National” series and will appear there on Washington’s birthday. On Friday, Feb. 24, he’ll bring his performance to the Gay Street Theater in Washington, a place he’s visited often: as the psychiatrist in Equus, as an Recipes Continued from page 10 simmered in turkey broth or stock for salads, pot pies or sandwiches. Wings: These flavorful parts are found whole, with the skin attached. Each should weigh between 3/4 and one pound. Suggested cooking methods are the same as for drumsticks. Since wings are usually less expensive than breast portions, they may be combined with the dark drumstick meat to create a mix of meat on a budget. Wings are also a good choice for a cook who needs to make a batch of stock for other recipes. Thighs: All dark meat, these pieces are easy to bone and also slice into nice pieces for serving. With bone in, weight averages 1/2 to 1-1/2 pounds. They may be braised or panfried, or with bone removed may be stuffed and baked as rolls. Sliced into strips, thigh meat is good for stir-fries. Hindquarters: Thigh and drumstick combined, these pieces weigh between two and five pounds. They may be prepared in the same way as those separate pieces. Turkey breast: Fully cooked boneless whole breast portions are available smoked, roasted or barbecued, and are ready to slice and eat. They are delicious in salads and sandwiches. Some stores sell the breast portion of the bird, with both actor and director of several of the selections from the Washington one-act play contest, and as the leader of a theater workshop for local actors. Rappahannock schoolchildren will have the opportunity to see Mr. Whiteman’s performance in school Friday; their parents can see him at 8 p.m. at the theater. In his performance, Mr. Whiteman will try to give us a glimpse of the Washington that the history books don’t describe. Often troubled, always amazingly lucky at avoiding injury, a devoted father who never had his own children and suffered tremendously at the death of his wife’s — our first president felt keenly the responsibility of being the most popular American hero of all time. Tickets to the event, sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC) are on sale now at regular ticket outlets. To find the outlet in your community, call the RAAC Arts Hotline (675-3073). RAAC members can purchase tickets at significant savings by writing or visiting the RAAC office at the Gay Street Theater in Washington.

Deli products: Available as turkey franks, “ham” made from dark meat, bologna, rolled turkey made from light and dark meat. These products are ready to eat as sandwich fillings or cold cuts. Sometimes, they are advertised as “lowsalt” or “low-fat” alternatives to the food they imitate, but consumers should read and compare labels. Many processed luncheon meat products are relatively high in salt and fat. Real bug juice Remember those childhood days at camp, when older children teased the younger ones by telling them that the fruit drinks they were served at mealtimes was “bug juice,” made by squeezing the insects collected on fly strips? Apparently, the Chinese have the real thing: ant juice. And, they’re touting it as the ultimate health-food drink. According to International Wildlife magazine, ant juice is claimed to be the cure for all sorts of ailments. It is rich in protein and trace nutrients necessary for good health. There’s just one hitch: it can add inches to the waistline. Ants have four times as many calories per pound as beef.

Council Continued from page 1 rate for up to 3,000 gallons per month usage, then increasing step rates for usage above that, encourages conservation. “In many systems, it seems that the bigger businesses get a cheaper rate. This way, the more you use, the more you pay,” Mr. Reynolds said. “It will encourage conservation, and the frugal use of water. This is generally accepted as the most fair way to do it,” Mr. Fisher added. He said that, although the council regrets the necessity of raising water rates, the town’s residents are already paying a lot of hidden costs in repair bills for the present system. Subdivision contemplated Claybert Smoot informed the council that he would like to subdivide his property on North Main Street near the town boundary, to create a lot for his daughter to build a house. However, Mr. Smoot said, he has run into problems because when the town’s boundary was adjusted, some of his property was moved from inside the town limits to outside, in the county. Mr. Smoot told the council that he has not yet filed a formal request for the subdivision. Noting that he has already paid for two surveys of the property, “I’d like to know what I can do before I spend a lot more money on it.” “I know how frustrating this is for you,” Councilman William Wickens said. “You want to know whether it will be approved or not. But, if we tell you that it is going to be approved, that would make the public hearing a sham — people will come and they don’t know that their comments don’t matter. “Similarly,” Mr. Wickens told Mr. Smoot, “if we tell you tonight ‘No,’ it’s not fair to you because you have a right to be heard — just as your neighbors have a right to be heard. We can’t tell you in advance how it’s going to turn out.” Mr. Wickens, seconded by Mr. Reynolds, suggested that Mr. Smoot must file a formal application. Then the town’s planning commission would hold a hearing and recommend approval or denial to the town council, which also must hold a hearing before making,a final decision. “If there hadn’t been a change in the line, I would have had enough for two lots,” Mr. Smoot pointed out. “They told me that it wouldn’t make any difference, but it seems now that it will.” Parking still an issue Though the town vetoed the Virginia Department of Transportation’s suggestion that parking be banned on both sides of Main Street between Middle Street and Blue Ridge Avenue, blind intersections and passing on narrow streets are still problems. Mark Bailey complained that trucks parking near the former Washington Cash Store are creating a blind intersection there, where cars must pull halfway into the intersection before drivers can see if the street is clear. Councilman Ray Gooch pointed Wrecks Continued from page 1 wearing seat belts. Fire and rescue personnel from Sperryville and Salem responded to the accident. One-car accident injures driver Trooper C. A. Moore said that excessive speed is suspected as a contributing factor in a one-car accident on Route 211 Monday evening. According to Trooper Moore, Wendy Sue Snyder, 31, of Fredericksburg, was westbound at about 9:45 p.m. when her car ran off the north side of the road just west of the Covington River bridge. Ms. Snyder’s 1983 Chrysler sedan came to rest in a field, and when Trooper Moore arrived on the scene she was lying outside the car in the field. She was transported to CMH by the Sperryville Rescue Squad for treatment of possible internal injuries. Trooper Moore said she was still in the hospital Tuesday evening. The trooper said that charges are pending in the accident. He estimated damage to the car at about $1,000, and added that Ms. Snyder said she was not wearing her seat belt. The Sperryville VFD also responded to the accident. Both Trooper Baker and Trooper Moore said that they investigated several minor accidents during the morning snowstorm, and later in the afternoon when the rain turned to sleet around dark. Blaming slippery roads for the minor accidents, and reporting that no one involved was iiyured, the troopers said they placed no charges in the other collisions. out that the parking ban had been rejected because The Inn and the Washington House of Reproductions complained that lack of parking would hurt their businesses. And, he added, some residents felt that the narrow street helped to slow traffic down. “This comes back to the whole problem of parking throughout town,” Councilman Peter Skowronski maintained. He suggested that the planning commission be asked to study the parking situation again, and to offer some suggestions for relieving congestion on the streets without affecting individual businesses. In other business, the council: • approved a request from council member Evelyn Willis that money from a special fund donated by an anonymous town resident be spent to plant annual flowers in the buckets at numerous intersections in town. That fund is the same money used last year to purchase the planters, flowers and a number of benches which have been placed throughout town. • approved Mr. Fisher’s attendance at the Virginia Treasurers’ Seminar in Williamsburg, at a total cost of $170 for registration and a room. • heard that the bill submitted by stonemason Terry Waggoner for work on the town monument was the same as a written estimate given to Ray Pullen before work began. • heard from Planning Commission Chairman Wickens that the commission is still working on revisions of the subdivision ordinance. He said the proposal had been sent to Planning District 9 with a request for comments, but the director replied that the commission had expended its entire budget for the year and could offer no formal review. He did, however, offer to review’ it informally and comment on it. Mr. Fisher requested that the planners consider revising the town’s comprehensive plan, which is due for its five year review, to include specific references and description of the town’s water system, “including it as a vital community service and a public utility.” Mr. Wickens reported that the commission will consider two ordinances at its Feb. 28 meeting. One would expand the ARB from three to five members, and the other would require smoke detectors in apartment houses, hotels, motels and B&Bs. All private residences would be exempt. The commission will send recommendations on the two measures to the council following the public hearings, he added. Goodine Continued from page 1 Conway in northern New Hampshire. “I took classes from Carolyn Pulsifer, a master metal smith. The League sponsors classes once a year to ensure the quality of the craftsmen; they like to teach the courses at League stores where the wares will be marketed. The course lasted for three months; I took it one year, re-enrolled the next year, and a year later was juried by the state.” The Washington craftsman’s signature piece is the “wave-link,” a link of metal (usually 14k gold) in the shape of a wave. Since first coming up with the design, he has created various configurations for earrings, bracelets, necklaces and any other type of jewelry ordered by his customers. Mr. Goodine admits the link was somewhat of an accident. “It developed because of the shape of the hammer. When I struck the small pieces of metal it kept wanting to curve. At first I didn’t want it to, then I just went with the flow. I feel like I’m a conduit through which these [links] realize themselves. There is a flow to them; to me they symbolize the duality of the universe. “Each link is like a stitch. You can do so many things with them because they’re so versatile.” he explained. It takes Mr. Goodine a minute and 100 hammer blows to form each link. At this point the process is far from over. Next he must file the sharp, jagged ends of the links. Called burrs in smithy parlance, they are the result of clipping small pieces of gold or silver from a long string of the precious metal. Each link is three-fourths of an inch long. After Mr. Goodine has a jar full of links, he is ready to create. “I make my living with a hammer and a saw but the real magic part of it is the torch, when I take the element of fire and join the pieces together.” Mr. Goodine connects the links by drilling holes in the ends. Now he can string them in different patterns: by fastening them with a small ring of metal in a variety of combinations, he can make a delicate bracelet or necklace, and with a hole in just one end, he can dangle them from a small metal hanger to make a Vocational education much more than 'shop' But misconceptions still widespread Virginians have inaccurate perceptions and very little awareness of state vocational education programs, according to recent survey findings. “What this report shows is that we need to do a better job of communicating,” said Lydia Bell, director of" vocational program services for the state vocational education division. “Too many people still think we’re just teaching shop to kids who can’t make the grade in the classroom.” I ' The findings, developed from a poll of you residents, show Virginians are not aware of current courses offered in vocational programs. The most common course named by respondents was auto mechanics. Foreign exchange programs, programs for special and gifted students, and courses like fiberoptics, advanced electronics, computer repair and robotics, now offered in Virginia, were not mentioned by respondents. Also of concern to vocational education administrators was the strong 1 MODULAR CONCEPTS OF VA., LTD.

He also specializes in orbits, which are circles inside of circles. He usually makes them into earrings of various sizes. When asked if he’s a master craftsman yet he shrugged and said, “When you’re doing creative things you’re always learning. It’s a neverending process. I’ve been doing wave-links and orbits for years but it’s only been a couple of months since I’ve thought of combining them.” Mr. Goodine hasn’t put out a catalog of his material because he doesn’t keep the jewelry around long enough, and he doesn’t advertise; yet he still never lacks for customers. He began selling in this area 20 years ago when he opened a stand at Lake Anne Plaza in Reston. Most of his business comes from his mailing list or word of mouth. “I have a lot of repeat customers. People appreciate things that are handmade. All my things are fabricated. None are cast, so each piece is one bf a kind. “People love their jewelry. I love what I'm doing, so it’s easy for people to love this kind of jewelry because there’s already some love put into it.” tendency by Virginians to associate vocational students with academic inferiority. “Our public image does not represent the truth,” Ms. Bell noted. And, in 1987, 91.6 percent of the high school students who had completed a vocational education program in Virginia were working, serving in the military or continuing their education. Only two to three percent were unemployed. As a result of the findings, the Virginia Department of Education, Division of Vocational Education, will begin an aggressive statewide communications effort. The effort is to be implemented by local vocational education administrators and teachers and is aimed at local media and local civic groups. Public service announcements, slide shows, video presentations and press materials have been prepared and distributed to allow the communications effort to commence during Vocational Education Week, Feb. 12-18. 18 Wooded acres in two parcels, Chester Gap, state road frontage, nice view, old house and bam. $115,000.
