ftappalianiuuk CIRCULATION NOW 3,077 Subject to ABC Audit RAPPAHANNOCK HOUSEHOLDS 2,722 Rappahannock County s Family Newspaper Since 1877 FEB 39th Year, No. 8 16 pages Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1989 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 35 Cents Old Rag Bulletins Chimney fires continue Volunteer firefighters from Sperryville and Washington responded to yet another chimney fire last weekend, as the county's rash of such fires continues. Sperryville Fire Chief Greg Wayland theorized that the recent warm weather has led residents to burn their airtight woodstoves at a low setting, which does not completely burn the wood and causes creosote deposits to quickly build on the inside of chimneys. Chief Wayland suggested that any woodstove should be burned on high heat for at least 30 minutes twice a day — a procedure which will allow the fire to get hot enough to burn out much of the creosote buildup. "And don't forget to have the chimneys cleaned regularly," he added. "It's cheap fire insurance!" Music competition Sunday The annual Bland Music Competition, sponsored by the Rappahannock Lions Club, will be held Sunday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. at the RCHS auditorium. According to Mike Mahoney, who is organizing the event for the Lions, between 10 and 12 music students are expected to compete in the instrumental and vocal categories. The competition is open to any students in grades 7-12. Winners of the county contests will advance to district, regional and state competitions, where substantial scholarships will be awarded to the winners. Named for folk composer James Bland, the Lions Clubs of Virginia have sponsored the annual contest since 1948. Seventh graders take SATt !> Eighty percent of the seventh grade class at Wakefield School participated in the Johns Hopkins University's "Talent Search '89," which seeks academically talented students.

Going, going> gone ^ Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter CRANES AND BULLDOZERS tear down the main house at Piedmont Farms last week. The property’s new owner, Rolf Graage, intends to restore the farm’s original residence, which was built in the 1700’s. Its chimneys are visible behind the trees in these pictures. The house tom down last week was built earlier in this century by the Tholand family. Schools to ask for 8 percent raise By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At their February meeting, Rappahannock’s School Board members got a taste of what to expect when next year’s budget is presented March 7. Superintendent David Gangel expects to request an eight percent increase to the base teacher’s salary which is $17,667 this year and would rise to $19,080 next year. However, unlike previous years, this amount would not be the starting teacher’s pay. In order to make Rappahannock more competitive in recruiting new teachers, Dr. Gangel will propose a starting salary five percent above the base, or $20,034. Teachers with one year’s experience would be paid six percent above the base, or $20,225; those with two years’ experience would get seven percent above the base or $20,416; those with three years’ salary would be paid nine percent above base as they are now or $20,798. The rest of the salary scale would continue at the current percentages, with teachers at the top of the scale making 60 percent above base or $30,529. Another increase expected for next year wall be in health insurance, Dr. Gangel told the board. The board currently offers all employees an amount equal to three percent of their salary to be applied to health insurance. Next year Dr. Gangel would like to offer a flat rate of between 50 and 75 percent of the cost of a single subscriber’s premium. All surrounding counties curSee BUDGET, p. 16 RALLY schedules recycling activities The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY!) has scheduled events during the next several months to maintain the enthusiam generated by the temporarily-halted Community Recycling Day. The RALLY-sponsored annual County Beautification Day will be held on Saturday, April 1, and the anti-litter league is planning to spread its resources over the entire county on that day. According to litter coordinator Nina Stamer, RALLY is organizing an aluminum can drive to benefit the Williamsburg trip for the Class of 1990 at RCES. It will be held at the elementary school on Saturday, April 1, from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m, in conjunction with the county-wide cleanup. Mrs. Stamer also urged residents to collect their newspapers for deposit in the trailer behind the Amissville fire hall, on Route 211 in Amissville. A pa pet drive will also be part of the cleanup day, with newspapers collected at the fire hall. "Papers may be left anytime,” Mrs. Stamer noted, “but it is hoped that people will make a special effort to clean out their papers and bring them over.” All proceeds from the newspaper recycling benefits the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, which provides fire and rescue services to the-entire northeastern portion of Rappahannock County. RALLY, in cooperation with the Middle Street Gallery, is sponsoring a Recycled Art Contest. It is open to all students attending county schools (including Wakefield). The rules are simple, according to Mrs. Stamer. Using any recyclable material (plastic milk cartons. See RECYCLING, p. 16 Commercial rezoning wins approval Proffers would limit uses By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning property on the north side of Route 211 opposite the Shade Road for the relocation of the Faith Mountain Company. In recommending that the planners consider rezoning the 1.7-acre parcel from agricultural to commercial. County Administrator John McCarthy said the contract purchasers, Martin and Cheri Woodard, along with the sellers, Carson and Aileen Johnson, had offered concessions on their use of the property which made it suitable for fezoning. They had agreed that the use of the property would be restricted to retail sales and accessory offices, parking and off-street loading. The mail-order part of Faith Mountain’s business is a part of the retail operation, not warehousing, Mr. McCarthy said. The Woodards had also agreed that they would only move the mail-order part of the business, not the walk-in retail trade, until the four-laning of Route 211 is, completed or three years pass without the road work being completed. Mr. McCarthy tcjld the planners that Mr. Woodward has agreed to post bond to complete an entrance road with curbing and a turn lane once the highway project is completed. The entrance will be across from the crossover in the highway for the Shade Road, Route *522. The Woodards have also agreed to screen both sides of the property with staggered rows of evergreens, he said. Speaking as a representative of both the sellers and the buyers. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner said, "The property is located squarely within the area designated for future commercial activity.” It is an area that “does not lend itself to residential use,” he added, since it is so close to the highway. He said the rezoning would “enhance the tax base and maintain or perhaps enhance employment.” Mentioning that another request for commercial zoning in that area had been denied, Mr. Baumgardner said that the mosl important difference between that application and this one was the timing. At the time of the other application th ?re was some uncertainty about the fourlaning of Rouie 211. “At this time that project is a virtual certainty,” he said. Martin Woodard showed the commissioners site plans for the property, and drawings of the floor plan and outside of the building. “It’s a simple basic building,” he said, built of metal and 125-by-80 feet in size. There will be space for packing and shipping, a room for a “floral studio” where the dried flower arrangements that the company sells are made, offices, a space for a photography studio where pictures can be taken for the company’s catalogues, a lunchroom and an open area for customer service. 3ee REZONING, p. 16 Changes to jail may lower cost By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The proposed addition to the jail would serve at least three functions, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. The basement level, as designed, would add three cells, storage areas and a furnace room. On the ground flbor, the present cramped combination dispatch and deputies' office would be split, providing a separate area for the dispatchers and their communications equipment. The deputies would have their own office, as would Sheriff Woodward, and a third office could be used for investigations. There is another room in which the department's records would be stored. Upstairs, the kitchen w ould take up much of the addition, along with a large pantry for food storage. The rest of that level would be a dayroom for the prisoners, w'here they can watch television, read and eat if they wish. I However, since the preliminary drawings were prepared, Sheriff Woodward has proposed some changes. Instead of three equal-sized cells in the basement, he suggested to the Board of Supervisors that the “drunk tank” be designated as the cell at the Gay Street end of the addition instead of in the main cell block. “Now the drunks are keeping everybody awake,” he explained. Instead of two equal-sized cells adjacent to the drunk tanks, one larger cell would be built, to hold up to four prisoners dormitory-style. Building one larger cell would save the county money, since one wall, one commode and one sink could be eliminated, he explained. Prisoners kept in this dormitory-type cell would be trustees, Sheriff Woodward said. Once the sheriffs office was moved to the jail, the space now used for his offices in the back of the Commissioner of Revenue’s building would be available for other offices now in the courthouse. Two of the offices which might be moved are the Voter’s Registrar and the magistrate’s office. The top floor of the addition would hold the kitchen. Rappahannock County now has a contract with William Frizzell, owner of the former Hampton Inn, to provide meals for prisoners. Mr. Frizzell has said he is willing to continue this only if the county is moving towards making some other arrangements. Then, there’s the matter of the cost of feeding the prisoners. Sheriff Woodward has presented figures to the supervisors which indicate that the county could save up to 2/3 of the present cost of meals if the jail had its own kitchen. . See JAIL, p. 16

Of crucial interest to the Board is the extent of support for such a program from the citizens of Rappahannock. After the public hearing, the Board may choose to investigate the matter further in terms of evaluating lost revenue due to the institution of such a program, as well as the possible increase in the real and personal property tax rates which may result. All persons interested in this issue are urged to attend and let their thoughts be known. _ John W.

Lane pleaded guilty last Thursday to a misdemea^ nor charge of maliciously destroying and interfering with equipment or transmission of messages over a telephone line. Judge William A. Talley Jr. accepted Mr. Lane’s plea in Culpeper County General District Court and fined him $500 and costs. That is the maximum penalty for the offense, a Class 3 misdemeanor. The charge was brought by Francis A. Sargent of American International Exports Inc., who requested that the Culpeper County Sheriffs Department investigate apparent tampering with the answering -machine connected to his business telephone. According to Mr. Sargent, beginning in mid-January, someone repeatedly called his business number and used a remote “beeper” to turn his answering machine off. He said that after he determined that the problem was not a mechanical malfunction inside the machine, he reported the incidents to the sheriff's department and requested that the telephone company put a tracing device on his line. That trace determined that th,e calls which switched off the answering machine were made from Mr. Lane’s Woodville residence. Mr. Lane was arrested on Feb. 2 and charged with the offense by Culpeper Sheriffs Department investigator David Carter. Mr. Lane said Tuesday of the charge, “it’s in the process of being appealed. The entire affair has been blown way out of proportion.” He declined to comment further about the incident.

Zoning bill struggles over amendments By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — All eyes were on the House of Delegates’ scoreboard Monday, Feb. 20, as Del. Richard Cranwell’s vote light switched from green to red on a vote to remove amendments that w'ould limit local governments’ conditional zoning powers. , Efforts to remove the restrictive amendments from the zoning bill failed in the House by a 43-53 vote. The amendments were stripped from a Senate version of the bill last Week. The fate of a bill that aims specifically at giving Fauquier County conditional zoning authority remains unclear after opposition to the more general bill. Rappahannock County will also be included, under language which makes counties contiguous with three ot the high-growth counties eligible. In Rappahannock’s case, those counties are Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren. Cranwell’s decision to give the red light to the deletion of amendments that he has spent the past few weeks fighting to remove, caused a moment of confusion and a low rumble of discussion on the House floor. But his actions were not without reason. Under House rules, only those legislators who have voted on the prevailing side are permitted to call for a reconsideration of the vote. As it was originally drafted, legislation introduced by the delegate from the 14th House District extended the Northern Virginia proffer system to areas experiencing a 10 percent growth increase over a 10-year period. When the bill reached the House, Del. Clinton Miller, R-28th District, succeeded in persuading House members to attach amendments that 'would prace restrictions on conditional zoning. The Virginia Association of Counties, the Virginia Municipal League and the Virginia Home Builders Association are among those opposed to the added language that they said would severely handicap the current proffer system. Over in the Senate, the amendments were peeled off the bill despite efforts by Sen. William E. Fears, D-3rd District, to retain them. Fears proposed exempting Northern Virginia localities which currently have conditional zoning, from the amendments. Neverthe less, the controversial language was reattached in the House. A similar bill introduced by freshman Del. Linda Rollins, R-32nd District, which would extend conditional zoning to Fauquier County and Stafford, has followed the path of Cranwell’s bill, struggling to shrug off the amendments. As a result of the hostile reception that Cranwell’s zoning bill received in the House, Rollins requested her bill be passed by for the day. Currently her bill is amendment-free. Cranwell is expected to call for a re-vote on the removal of the amendments from his bill. If the House refuses to remove the language, Sen. Virgil H. Goode Jr., D-20th District, chairman of the Senate Local Government Committee, will select a joint committee to resolve the amendment battle. Rural, urban delegations face growing conflicts By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The state recordation tax and and improvements to U.S. 58 and have been linked toyrether in two intricate plans to bal'bnce transportation funding needs between northern and southern Virginia. Legislators from the tip of the state have struggled this session for financial means to unclog their jammed roadways. Meanwhile, legislators in the lower part of the state have sought funds to remedy U.S. 58, the crippled highway whose expansion is considered crucial to the r area’s economic development. The Senate approved sending $40 million in recordation tax revenue southward to help out U.S. 58. Because the fees collected for real estate transactions are directly related to growth, nearly half of the recordation tax revenue funnels in from Northern Virginia. Thus the Senate also voted in favor of returning $20 million of recordation tax revenue to localities for transportation and education needs. Under this plan, Fairfax County would receive nearly $0 million dollars from state recordation taxes. Prince William County would Culpeper, Va. 703-825-9456 Walker nominated for new judgeship By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — J. Allen Walker has been nominated by Sen. Charles Waddell, D-33rd District, to serve as the new general district court judge for the 20th Judicial District. Walker, who is currently a partner in the Robin & Walker law firm in Leesburg, was nominated after extensive interviews with Waddell and the House and Senate Courts of Justice. “After completing my review, I find Allen Walker, from an overall perspective, to be the most qualified candidate based on ability, maturity, temperament and experience,” said Waddell. In law practice for the past 19 years, Walker has worked for an 11-member McLean firm and a large Cincinnati firm. He has also served as military judge in the Navy, for which he received the Navy Achievement Medal. Walker was recommended by the Loudoun County Circuit Court and the Judge Selection Committee of the Loudoun County Bar, and has practiced extensively in the Loudoun County General District Court. Two other candidates. Dean Worcester, Leesburg, and John W. Wine, a Marshall attorney, were interviewed by the General Assembly to serve on the bench of the 20th District. Worcester of Ottinger & Worcester, has practiced in Loudoun for the past 10 years, serving as assistant commonwealth’s attorney in Leesburg for three of those years. Wine, a practicing lawyer in Loudoun and Fauquier counties, has practiced throughout Virginia for more than 21 years. “It was a tough call,” said Waddell about his decision, but added that “one cannot help but be impressed with the breadth of Mr. Walker’s experience and ability.” “Although I had heard very positive things about Mr. Walker’s abilities, I had not previously known the depth of his experience,” said Del. Linda Rollins, R-32nd District. The 20th District, which includes Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties, was granted the new judgeship through legislation introduced last year by Waddell and Sen. Edward M. Holland, D-31st District. There are an estimated 20 families a day moving into Loudoun County, said Waddell. By 1988, the caseload for the Loudoun County District Judge had more than doubled that of 1987, according to Waddell. Due to the urgent need for the new position, the General Assembly has approved a bill, with accompanying budget legislation, which moves the starting date for the new judgeship from July 1 to April 1 of this year. Due to the dramatic increase in caseload, Walker will sit almost exclusively in Loudoun County, said Waddell. “I am confident that Mr. Walker will be confirmed by the General Assembly and will serve Loudoun, as well as the entire 20th Judicial District, with fairness, honor and distinction,” said Waddell. be entitled to almost $1.5 million of the tax. Other areas of distribution include: Loudoun County, $1,143,158; Fauquier County, $260,870; and Clarke Countv, $37,041. The recordation bill also permits localities to raise the local share of the recordation tax up to 10 cents per $100 value. The Senate plan for U.S. 58 differs significantly from that of the House, which pulls money from the Transportation Trust Fund. To balance the scale for those areas that would lose highway money, the House approved giving $60 million in recordation tax revenue to local governments. The Senate Finance Committee opposed tampering with the existing highway formula. The original bill introduced by Del. Dorothy McDiarmid, D-35th District, permitted localities to raise their portion of the tax by 10 cents. Instead, the House amended the bill to keep the recordation tax at 20 cents, but return 15 cents to the localities and only five cents to the state. In a meeting of the Northern Virginia Delegation, Sen. Clive L. DuVal II, D-32nd District, said the House, whose members face re-election this fall, does not look favorably on more local option increases. Barbecue ^ Dinner Saturday, Feb. 25 Rappahannock Co.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — After being given up for dead, an impact fees bill has emerged from the depths of the Senate Finance Committee. “It is in\portant to get impact fees out of the Senate Finance Committee,” Sen. Clive DuVal II, I)32nd District, told the Northern Virginia delegation, seeing the bill’s progress as a victory for Northern Virginia. The bill, introduced by Del. Richard Cranwell, D-14th District, would permit localities to impose impact fees for transportation-related costs. Traditionally, bills which would permit localities to impose impact fees for costs inflicted by the development have died in the 15member Senate committee. The success of Cranwell’s impact fees is due largely to changes enacted by the committee. With the amendments, the impact fees would apply only to Fairfax County and adjacent cities or counties. Under the amended bill, if impact fees are imposed, no conditions can be proffered for transportation. If proffers already exist for the development, no impact fees can be required. Although the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association favored the bill with the amendments, the Virginia Home Builders Association opposed it. “The cost is ultimately paid by the home purchaser,” Carl Bowmer of the VHBA told the committee. “It’s a double tax on them,” he added. “All the bill did was pick up areas in Northern Virginia where they don’t have proffers,” said Sen. William E. Truban, R-27th District, on? of four committee members who opposed the bill. “They’ve knocked out the little guy,” said Truban, remarking that small-scale developers cannot afford the costs of impact fees. The amendments “do not make a developer sustain the same burden twice," said Sen. Gartlan, who advocated the bill’s changes. “It’s proffers or impact fees, not both," Gartlan explained. Also under the reformed bill, impact fees could not become effective until 1990. Amendments tighten exemptions in FOI law By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Public bodies are required to certify what they do behind the closed doors of executive session under new legislation approved by the General Assembly this session. The alterations in the Virginia Freedom of Information Act are the first significant changes in the act in 20 years, according to the bill’s sponsor, Del. Ralph L. “Bill” Axselle, R72nd District, who served on a yearlong study committee assigned to review the FOI legislation. The bill also reduces the amount of time that agencies have to respond to requests for information from 24 days to 12 working days. In addition, the approved legislation Sail Plane Rides at Front Royal (703) 347-0054 extends the stipulations of the act to committee and subcommittee meetings'. Sen. K. Edward Houck, D-17th District, criticized the Virginia Press Association for agreeing to support the legislation without the provisions for an administrative review board by the state attorney general’s office. The removal of the review board weakens the legislation, said Houck, and leaves filing suit against the agency the only recourse for those who believe they have been dealt with unfairly. Game-related information on the State Lottery Hoard is exempt from provisions of the act until the first day of sales for the specific lottery game. / PERFORMANCE GROU Ppresents Fri. March 3 & Sat.

Mon -Fri Published by Arundel Newspapers Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1989 Editorial A lonely job, done well There’s a group of people who serve the residents of this county, as well as the rest of the citizens of Virginia. They are seldom thought of at all, and when they are recognized it is often because one of their number has been accused of wrongdoing, or because someone feels they have been unjustly accused of an infraction of the law. Sometimes, as is the case this week, they are in the news because one of their members has been killed in the line of duty. We’re speaking, of course, of the Virginia State Police. By all accounts, Trooper J. L. Hines was a distinguished law enforcement officer, commended 40 times during his 22year career with the Virginia State Police. On Monday night, that career ended in a violent and sudden death. Trooper Hines was gunned down on Interstate 81 after stopping a car which had been reported stolen from Shenandoah County earlier that evening. His killer is in critical condition in a Roanoke hospital after a shootout with police in Salem, Va. The midnight shooting of Trooper Hines on a lonely stretch of rural highway illustrates the dangers faced by troopers and sheriffs deputies across>he state, from Rockbridge to Rappahannock County. Each time they stop a vehicle, they put their lives on the line. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the roadside stops and traffic investigations are routine. The motorist turns out to be just an average person who has violated a traffic law or been involved in an accident. But that other one percent can be deadly, as Trooper Hines found out Monday night. His body was discovered by a fellow trooper who responded to his request for assistance with the stop. Trooper Hines was lying face down on the shoulder of the road in front of his patrol car, his revolver still • in its holster. He had been shot twice in the neck and shoulder, and apparently died instantly. Trooper Hines will be buried today with full honors. • Many troopers, sheriffs’ deputies and police officers from Virginia and surrounding states will attend his funeral. So will his mother, his widow and their three children. His legacy remains, personified in his fellow officers. To them we say, “Thank you.” Though you are seldom recognized for your efforts, we appreciate the lonely, dangerous job you do so well. Letters to the editor The Rappahannock Sews is your newspaper.

Letters to the editor Heart Fair a success! To the editor: We at the Rappahannock County Health Department wish to extend a warm thank you to all of those who participated in the “Heart Fair" on Valentine’s Day. I was very impressed by the level of awareness regarding cholesterol and other risk factors of heart disease as well as the interest shown by members of the community. It is so encouraging to see people take such an active role towards optimal wellness. We would like to thank Sandra Richardson from the Rappahannock County Exten sion office and Christine Kennedy from The Plains Pharmacy, for their help. We would also appreciate the kind hospitality of the Trinity Episcopal Church for providing their parish hall. We feel the fair was very successful, largely due to your excellent publicizing of the event. Plans are under way for another cholesterol-blood pressure screening during the evening hours this spring. I also would welcome any suggestions on how the health department can better serve the community. MARION FACCHINA, RN Public Health Nurse Who speaks for Virginians? To the editor: Citizens of Virginia: I would like to let you know the outcome of Sen. Colgan’s Family Life Education postponement bill (SB705). On Feb. 2 there was a brief hearing on this bill, where only three speakers were allowed to speak — in spite of the fact that a number of citizens had made the trip to Richmond to testify in favor of the bill. Of course, time was allowed for opponents to speak, even though there were very few. When it came down to the vote, only two senators stood up for what the majority of Virginians wanted in regard to FLE. The two senators were Sen. Houck and Sen. Chichester. The following senators voted against the citizens of Virginia: Sen. Gray, Sen. Walker, Sen. Andrews, Sen. E.M. Holland, Sen. Schewel, Sen. Nolen, Sen. Saslaw, Sen. Michie, Sen. Bird, Sen. Joannou, Sen. Lambert, Sen. C.A. Holland and Sen. E.F. Miller. When it comes time to vote at the polls, I hope that people will remember these senators and how they voted. They would not even let the bill get out of committee so it could be voted on. Write them now and let them know that you wrill remember this when it comes time to vote. However, we must not let it stop here. We must find senators who will stand up for the people and not for themselves! While attending this hearing, I realized what a rude, arrogant bunch of men those particular senators were. They could have used a crash course in manners and respect. My question is, who voted these guys in anyway? I hope that we have learned from our mistakes and we will not sit back anymore when it somes to politics! BRENDA BRINKLEY Manassas April is ASCS closing By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent. Agriculture Virginia farmers have until April 14 to sign up at their local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service offices for the 1989 feed grain, wheat and cotton programs, the extension service announced. The common changes from 1988 are the lower target prices and loan rates on all program crops. The potential deficiency payment rates will change very little. Acreage reduction requirements are lower for the feed grains and wheat, but higher for cotton. Some of the major changes are: • The acreage reduction requirement, which commonly is called “setaside,” will be reduced from 27.5 percent to 10 percent of the acreage base for wheat and from 20 percent to 10 percent for feed grains. • There will be no paid acreage diversion for feed grains this year. Thfe U.S. Department of Agriculture is boosting the acreage reduction requirement from 12.5 percent to 25 percent to reduce the cotton surplus. • Producers are eligible to receive advance deficiency payments at the signing. Payments will amount to 20 cents a bushel for wheat, 35.6 cents a bushel for corn and 6.42 cents a pound for cotton. All advance payments will be in cash. • A program provided for in last summer’s Disaster Assistance Act allows farmers to plant between 10 percent and 25 percent of their 1989 feed grain, wheat or cotton acreage to soybeans while protecting the base history. Provoking thoughts? i o me ecmor: I am sure your reading audience will find this thought-provoking: The Biblical record, beginning in Genesis 5, shows that it was 2,006 years from the creation of Adam to the end of Noah. Then 1,998 years from Noah to the birth of Christ. Now (according to our calendar) it’s 1989 with only 11 years to go before the year 2000. People should give this serious thought. The end of another 2,000year cycle is practically here; and, from all indications, it will end with a nuclear holocaust, a cleansing of the earth with a destructive force far greater than the flood back in the days of Noah. First Thessalonians 5, verse 3 says: “When they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them.” We are told in 2nd Peter 3, verses 10 and 11, that: “. . . the heavens shall pass away with a great, noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat; The earth also and the works that are therein (such as factories and cities, etc.) shall be An oversight To the editor: In my “Letter to the editor” which appeared in the Feb. 2 issue of this newspaper, I failed to thank Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie for his volunteer efforts at RALLY’S last community Recycling Day. Mr. Massie delivered 130 burned up. . . all these things shall be dissolved.” According to Jqsus in the 24th chapter of Matthew, verse 22, this 2,000-year cycle will not run its full course. “. . . For the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.” In verse 39 of that same chapter, in comparing the end of this era to what happened back in the days of Noah, Jesus said they: . . knew not until the flood came and took them all away.” That’s probably how it will be when the earth is cleansed this time by fire. Most people will probably be so invovled in the cares of this lif slumbering as it were, paying lit... or no attention to what’s coming until its too late to even pray.

NINA STAMER Washington Reserve Officers honor Warner WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) has been named “Minute Man of the Year” by the 120,000-member Reserve Officers Association, which cited Warner’s outstanding contributions to national security. Previous recipients of the association’s highest award include presidents Truman, Kennedy, Ford and Reagan and senators Jon Stennis, Strom Thurmond and Sam Nunn. More than 1,600 Reserve officers and guests attended the banquet and award presentation Jan. 26 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Washington, D.C. » “It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized by the Reserve Officers Association,” Sen. Warner said. “As America faces a restricted defense budget, where do we turn? We turn to the Reserves for a source of dedicated manpower to supplement our active duty forces. “We hear a great deal these days about defense spending and weapons programs. But in the 10 years I’ve been in the U.S. Senate, I’ve often thought of this — that no matter how modem and sophisticated the weapons, the bottom line is the hu man being who makes those weapons work. “President Bush spoke to Congress recently of the principle of peace through strength. The Reserves are a crucial factor in America’s military strength, and I salute you.’’ In honoring Warner, the association cited his service as senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee; as Under Secretary and Secretary of the Navy from 1969-1974 and as an officer in the Marine Corps during the Korean War and a sailor in the Navy during World War II. In 1972, Warner, acting on behalf of the United States, signed the Incidents at Sea Treaty with the Soviet Union. And as a U.S. Senator, Warner co-authored legislation cre*i > ating Nuclear Risk Reduction Cen-f ters in Washington and Moscow designed to help avoid accidental nu-^ clear war between the two superr powers. Following the awards ceremony‘ the Department of Virginia Reserve Officers Association conferred on Warner the title of “Virginia Gen* tleman.” •

An Englishman in the Blue Ridge By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I still have a bit of an English accent, which makes my triends ask me why I settled on a farm in the Bljae Ridge. Like Lord Thomas Fairfax, I suppose, I find the rolling green hills, the narrow- winding roads and the spreading oak trees remind me of England. The climate is also similar — a variety of rain and sunshine, winter clouds and November fogs. The summers are hotter, of course, but on those dog days I do not go “ouP in the midday sun," no matter what the old song says. In Rappahannock County, I see reminders of England even between the blades of grass. On our farm in April, the fields are yellow w-ith English buttercups. The seeds probably came over in bales of hay when Virginia was first settled, and the plants have spread. Queen Anne’s lace now blooms under the * July sun in what w-as her Old Dominion. English * plantain took hold so quickly in Virginia that the coastal Indians called it “Whiteman’s footprint.” In our woods between the tulip trees w-e have sil* ver poplars which have strayed somehow across * the Atlantic. * Occasionally I see a chirpy London sparrow, » with its black chest. Our starlings came from Cen* tral Europe, but I am sure their jumping off place « was England. Some birds stowed away in the rig* ging of sailing ships, and hung on for the ride. It’s l strange, but I don’t know of any American birds * that immigrated the other way. Cardinals, bob* white, quail, and mockingbirds all seem to be « happy to stay in Virginia. When my friends ask me how I took up farm* ing, I reply, “the hard way.” As a youngster in t the 1940s I was taken out of school and drafted to , help the war effort. Groups of us schoolboys handweeded fields of carrots where the rows stretched out half a mile long. Then we had to snip the tops off beans, pull peas and pick potatoes — all by hand. I was happier when the bombs came, because I was evacuated from the East Anglican coast to a small farm in Nottinghamshire. I was what they ^ called an “evacuee,” living with new foster parents and a foster sister. I attended school fulltime, but I enjoyed helping on the farm during the long summer evenings and on holidays. The farm had four fields, but there were never cultivated — it was the original of the notill method. There was a permanent pasture, permanently grazed short, and a hayfield rooted with 100-year-old orchard grass. Because of the lati Perspective tude, there was only one hay crop per year, cut by horse-drawn mower, raked and lifted by hand, moved by wagon, and stored in a haystack with thatched roof. We didn’t make square bales, and round bales hadn’t been invented. Sometimes we tied it in a sheaf. The third field had the stable, pigsty, poultry house and fruit bushes. These were planted close together so as to choke out the weeds. There was also the cottage, the lawn and the flower garden. The fourth field was plowed and harrowed by true horsepower. I learned how to steer the farm horse. Ginger, down the furrows, following behind those steaming flanks. I wasn’t very big, and so the single plowshare threw me around when it hit rough soil. I dropped a seed potato in the furrow every 12 inches. Now and again Ginger dropped in the fertilizer. There were two cows, a small Angus called “Friday” (born on a Friday, of course), and a larger Hereford named “Lucky.” The two were milked by hand at 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., into a galvanized bucket held between the farmer’s knees. On the first day I fell for the usual country' trick “Look under here to see where the milk comes out,” the farmer said. I bent down to look, and he squirted a white jet into my face. It was pleasant though — warm and very creamy. Lucky was a mischievous animal, and I stayed clear of her. She could jump over a barbed wire fence like the cow that jumped over the moon. When my foster sister celebrated her 21st birthday, a tent was set up in the pasture, with tables of cakes, fruit and lemonade. Before anyone could stop it, Lucky pushed her nose under the tent, and with one “swoosh," drank the entire bowl of lemonade. What I learned in my years on the farm in Nottinghamshire has stood me in good stead. Some things have changed, but much is the same. I know that lime is worth more than fertilizer on a hay field, and the best fields come from the sharpest mower, because the roots are not pulled. In England, as I remember it, the scourge of the pasture was the rabbit, but fortunately I don’t see many rabbits in our part of Rappahannock. Perhaps the county's foxes are more efficient at catching them, or perhaps there are more hawks circling overhead. The dark version of the redtailed hawk, which is so prevalent in the Blue Ridge, isn’t found in England. In the Blue Ridge the rabbit is replaced with the pesty groundhog. On some slopes their burrows are as copious as those on an English rabbit warren, and their holes are deeper, and larger. Only rabbits live in rabbit burrows, but you never know what is down a groundhog hole. It might be a red fox, a mink or even a skunk. There are no mountain ranges like the Blue Ridge in England, no Skyline Drives. Old Rag, eroded by millions of years of rain and hail, stands 81. feet taller today than the highest mountain in England (Scafell Pike, in the Lake District, height 3210 feet). Nor does Olde England have towns by the name of Sperry ville or Woodville. Yet this part of Virginia comes closest to resembling England than any other part of the United States, at least in its countryside, small farms and winding roads. I guess that’s why it isn’t so surprising after all to find an Englishmen settled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dr. Hawkins lines outside Woodville. He is a world-renouyned author and astronomer, whose books include "Stonehenge Decoded” and "Beyond Stonehenge. ” Burning ban begins Mar. 1 So far this winter the region has been extremely dry. There has been very little snow or rainfall to raise the moisture levels in the soil and dried vegetation. This dry vegetation (leaves, weeds, twigs, etc.) can be readily ignited on the first warm day. In the spring, after being penned up all winter, most people wrant to get outside and clean up around the house and farm. In many cases this involves burning. This debris burning is responsible for almost onethird of all wildfires in Virginia. That is the reason for the 4 p.m. burning law. In other words, you must be 300 feet from any type of vegetation or dry grass that can spread a fire. The law applies to any open air burning from March 1 to May 15. Note also 'that effective this spring the penalty iwas raised to a maximum fine of $500. After 4 p.m., the temperature and wind have decreased and the relative humidity has gone up. Burning under these conditions is now safer, but not totally safe. If you have trash or debris to burn, wait Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR ~~ TWO FINANCIAL ASSETS Owning a home is like having two financial instruments that make money for you every day, every month, and every year. One of these money makers is the appreciation in the resale value of the home. This rate of increase is always more than the inflation rate, i In addition to price appreciation, you also enjoy the buildup of equity. Equity is the part of your mortgage payment that goes toward reducing the loan amount. When you well the house, you collect your equity in cash, i The main difference between the two is that you only cash in on the price appreciation when you sell your home, but the equity is actually a form of savings that can • be used as loan collateral. For instance, you can use a home-equity , loan to borrow with considerable financial leverage. After you’ve built up enough equity in your property, you can arrange loans of ® thousands of dollars to finance a 1 college education, vacation or \ some other important expense.

We re here to help. until a damp, wet day, even though it may be after 4 p.m. One last note, burning in a barrel can be and usually is extremely dangerous. You would be surprised at the number of wildfires that originate from a barrel. The next time you ride through the county, take notice. The barrels are located behind the house and are placed adjacent to woodland, brushland or an overgrown field. Very few have a Hire screen or lid handy to place over the top. Most of them are rusty and have holes. Usually there has been little effort to clear a fire-safe zone around the barrel.

A primer of homemade crackers By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Exteiuion Agent. Home Economics When it comes to selecting crackers, most people will agree that 10 varieties are better than one. It can be an evening’s entertainment to mix and match the assortment of pates, spreads, dips and cheeses with the variety of shapes and flavors of crackers available. Homemade crackers add a “custom-made” touch to those purchased at the local supermarket. In addition, these crackers can expand on the two commercial offerings in texture, either crisp or chewy and ten- 5 der. Fresh, homemade crackers have more character in flavor and texture. Homemade crackers were once a necessity instead of a luxury — in those years before any manufacturer discovered how to put on the “Ritz.” Crackers were known as unleavened bread, hard tack, wafers and biscuits back then. The term cracker came into use around the turn of the 19th century when W.R. Jacob and Co. of Dublin, Ireland, began sending crackers in airtight cartons around the world. Crackers are suprisely simple to make, but require attention since they bake in a short amount of time. Cheese sables 3/4 cup unbleached flour 6 T. butter Pinch of salt Cayenne pepper to taste 3/4 cup grated Parmesan or dry Cheddar cheese 1 egg, lightly beaten Kosher salt or finely chopped walnuts, if desired Combine flour, butter and seasonings; mix as for pastry'. Add cheese and press mixture together to make a dough. Sprinkle surface lightly with flour and wrap in plastic film. Chill at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. It tends to stick, so ease it free from the board with a spatula. You can also roll this between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut dough into strips about 2 inches wide. Glaze with egg anil sprinkle with salt or nuts. Cut strips into triangles or cut into 1-1/2-inch circles with a cookie cutter. Place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets and bake 12-15 minutes. Lift sheet of paper off cookie sheet and place on cooling rack. Graham crackers 1/2 cup butter 2/3 cup brown sugar 2-3/4 cup graham (whole wheat) flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 cup water Cream butter and sugar until light and sugar is not gritty. Mix remaining dry ingredients and add to butter mixture, alternating with 1/4 amounts of water. Mix well. Let stand 30 minutes. Roll out dough on a floured board to 1/8-inch thickness.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until crackers are lightly browned. Makes about 3 dozen. The following recipes are taken from “The Fannie Farmer Baking . Book," by Marion Cunningham | (Knopf, 1984). 1 Oatmeal crackers 2-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oatmeal 1/2 cup cold water Salt Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Use ungreased cookie sheets. Stir 2 cups oatmeal with water in a bowl until dough holds together in a mass. Sprinkle a rolling surface with 1/4 cup oatmeal and put dough on top. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Move and lift dough while you roll and sprinkle dough and surface with more oatmeal so top and bottom are amply coated and dough does not stick. If dough cracks, use fingers to seal. Trim edges and cut dough in half. Lift dough with spatula and place each half on ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly sprinkle salt over top and score dough with knife, without cutting through, into 1-1/2-inch squares. Bake for 30 minutes, turn and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Crackers tend to curl around edges; press dough periodically with spatula to flatten, if desired. Cool on racks and break into squares. Walnut crackers 2 eggs 1 cup flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 cup coarsely ground walnuts Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a cookie sheet. Place eggs in bowl and beat until light and frothy. Add flour, salt, baking powder and walnuts to eggs. Stir vigorously until wellblended — this is a stiff dough. Roll dough out on floured surface to 1/16 inch. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on cookie sheet. Bake about 7 minutes; turn and bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on racks. Brittle bread 2-3/4 cup unbleached flour 1-2 T. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 cup butter (frozen if using processor) 8 oz. plain yogurt Herbs, spices, kosher salt and seeds Blend flour, sugar, salt and soda in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter as for pastry. When mixtstfe resembles commeal, add yogurt and mix to a/) soft dough. If using a processor, put dry ingredients (except for seasoning unless it is desired in the bread) in the work bowl. Cut frozen butter into 1tablespoon chunks and add to flour mixture. Process until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add yogurt; process only until it is mixed in. Break off marble-sized pieces and roll out dough on a floured board into 7-inch circles less than 1/8-inch thick — even paper-thin. Leave plain or sprinkle with any desirable flavoring. These attach themselves to the top of the bread more securely (especially mustard or poppy seeds) if the surface is lightly misted or brushed with water. Bake at 400 degrees for 5-8 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. Turn and bake for about 5 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Variations: Besides the different seasonings for the top, the bread dough can be flavored to complement the food served with it. A teaspoon or so (depending on the strength) of prepared mustard or 1/4 cup of finely grated cheese flavors the bread as a base for ham; herbs can go into the mixture to accent most dips and cheese, and finely minced shallots in the dough are good with everything. Matzohs 2 cups unbleached flour (more if needed) 1/2-3/4 cup cold water, as needed Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place flour in a pile on a board or in a wide mixing bowl and make a well in center. Pour in 1/2 cup water and stir in flour gradually, using fingertips or a fork. Add more water as needed until all flour is mixed in and dough is soft, pliable and not sticky. Divide dough into 4 pieces and knead each about 10 times, using a little flour to keep dough from sticking when it is rolled. Scrape board of dough and flour scraps, then dust clean surface with flour. Roll one piece of dough into a circle about 7 inches in diameter and less than 1/8inch thick. Pierce whole circle of dough completely through to bottom to keep matzoh from buckling while it bakes. If there is enough room on 2 cookie sheets, roll and cook all dough at once. If space is limited, do not roll out dough until it can go directly into oven. Lift each circle onto rolling pin e and transfer it to an ungreased bak- 1 ing sheet. f Bake for about 10 minutes. When \ matzoh curls, looks very dry' and shows some golden patches and edges, turn and bake second side for 3-8 minutes until it is golden brown. Some very dark blisters are desirable because they add a special flavor. See RECIPES, p. 15

Outdoor Life Panthers take first round, advance to semi Thursday's game pits Rappahannock against valley rival Central By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer With their backs against the wall, the Rappahannock Panthers put together four of their finest quarters of roundball in the opening round of the Bull Run District Tournament last Monday. The Panthers also exacted a little revenge as they dismantled the Brentsville Cougars, 80-60. “We can’t afford any more lapses this time of the season. If we do, we go home, and then we can only think about what might have been,” said junior swingman Julian Groves. With the win, RCHS sets the stage for what promises to be a classic confrontation against the number one-seeded Central Falcons Thursday night in the semifinals of the tournament at Frederick County Middle School. The teams split in their regular season battle, each winning on its home court. The Panthers dealt Central its lone setback early in the season and the Falcons returned the favor in an emotional contest that Rappahannock has only recently recovered from. Both teams had little trouble with their first-round opponents. Central began the opening round of the playoffs Monday night with a 101-70 win over the Clarke County Eagles. In the second game Rappahannock assumed control early in route to the 80-60 win over the Brentsville Tigers. The Tigers had beaten RCHS earlier in the year, 71-64, by dictating the tempo of play. The Panthers wanted to make sure they didn’t make the same mistake and came out aggressively. The result was a 12-0 run to start the game. Eric Dunn began the scoring spree with a three-pointer and Danny Ellis and Julian Groves each added two buckets for a 7-0 lead. Dunn grabbed a missed Tiger shot and drove the length of the floor for a layup with a Brentsville player hanging on to his back. His conversion on the three-pointer gave the Panthers a 10-0 advantage. Five minutes into the game Kelly O’Dell scored the Tigers’ only basket of the quarter and RCHS enjoyed a 21-2 Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan SETTING A PICK, Jamie Walters (44) fends off a George Mason defender as teammate Julian Groves (20) takes an outside shot, during basketball action last week. first-quarter lead. The Panthers outplayed the Tigers in every phase in the first eight minutes. They outhustled Brentsville on the boards, 15-6; they limited BCHS to one attempt at the basket each trip down the court; they controlled the ball, giving possession away only two times. And Brentsville turned the ball over 10 times against the aggressive Panther defense and hit just one shot in 11 attempts. Julian Groves scored early in the second period for a 25-4 lead. Groves played one of his finest games in a Rappahannock uniform as he phipped in 16 points (12 in the first halfjy He also led all rebounders from the guard position with 17, 11 coming at the offensive end. Then Groves rounded out his evening with four blocked shots and three steals. At the end of the half, Rappahannock had the contest well in hand, 41-22. The Panthers vanquished any hopes the Tigers may have had of coming back early in the second half. RCHS went on a 14-5 spree and held the opposition scoreless for close to four minutes. They built the largest margin of the game, 55-29, following a pair of Dunn free throws. Brentsville nibbled away at Rappahannock’s advantage in the final period from three-point range, but couldn’t defend against the surging Panthers as they built their lead to 26 points eight times before letting it drop to 20, 80-60 at the final buzzer, j Coach Leake heaped praises onJ his offense, singling out his guard tandem of Groves-Dunn; the duo accounted for 45 points, 21 rebounds, and seven steals. “Julian and Eric had great games, which allowed us to open up our offense and be aggressive. We made 38 trips to the foul line, the most this season," said Leake. Because of the fine play by the guards, Brentsville was forced to adjust its zone defense, allowing Doug Smith (10 points) and Anthony Porter (7) to work in the paint. Rappa hannock had 10 players score, and out-rebounded the Tigers 48-30.

Variations: To make matzohs with whole wheat flour, follow above recipe but add more water, probably about 1/4 cup. The whole wheat variety will be a little thicker. Matzoh can be seasoned with garlic and onion to accompany soups, cheese or dips. Rub one side of baked matzoh with cut surface of an onion or garlic clove. Slightly mist flavored side with water, sprinkle writh kosher salt and bake at 375 degrees on oven rack for 6-7 minutes, * until dry and crisp. Sesame seed crackers 1 cup whole wheat f jr 1/2 cup unbleacheo ..our 1/4 cup soy flour 1/4 cup sesame seeds 1 tsp. salt 1/4 cup corn oil 1/3 cup or more cold water Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flours, sesame seeds and salt in a mixing bowl. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and pour in oil. Stir to blend, then add cold water as needed to make a dough that holds together in a ball. Place dough on an oiled baking sheet and roll it to 1/b-inch thickness. Use a knife to mark dough into squares but do not cut through dough. The lines will allow the dough to break cleanly at the line after baking, but crackers would brown too much if they cook as separate pieces. Bake for about 20 minutes, until crisp and golden. Monitor carefully; seeds can easily scorch. Lavash (Armenian Thin Bread) 1-1/2 pkg. dry yeast 1-1/2 tsp. sugar 3-1/2 cups unbleached flour (about) 1 cup warm water 1/4 cup melted butter, cooled 1-1/2 tsp. salt Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar over 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Allow to stand for a couple of minutes so yeast is completely dissolved and starts to foam. Place flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in yeast mixture with 1 cup warm water, butter, salt and remaining sugar. Blend ingredients into flour with a spoon and then knead on a floured surface until dough is soft and elastic. Add flour as needed. Shape dough into a smooth ball and place in an oiled bowl, turning dough to coat the surface. Cover dough with plastic wrap and a towel and leave it in a warm place until double in bulk, about 3 hours. Punch down and divide it into 14 pieces, or into 4 if large free-form shapes are desired. Roll out each onto a floured board to less than 1/8inch thick and prick surface with a fork as for matzohs. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 450 degrees for between 5-8 minutes, until golden brown. Crackers can be turned over and baked for a few more minutes until crisp and brown on the second side. Cool on a rack. Repeat rolling and baking with remaining dough. Cream crackers 2 cups cake flour 1 tsp. salt . 1-1/2 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder About 2/3 cup heavy cream Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use ungreased cookie sheet. Combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and stir with fork. Add cream slowly while stirring constantly. Mix well until dough holds in a ball. If dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of cream. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Using cookie cutter jf glass, cut into 3-inch crackers. Place on cookie sheet and prick center twice with tines of fork. Bake for 8 minutes; turn and bake 6 to 8 minutes, or until crackers have several golden spots and are slightly colored on the edges. Remove and place on a rack to cool. Poppy seed cracker bread 3/4 cup warm water 1 pkg. dry yeast 1tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 egg, beaten 4-5 cups all-purpose flour In large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast. Add sugar and salt. Blend in beaten ggg. Mix in 1 cup all-purpose flour and beat until smooth. Gradually blend in 1-1/2 to 2 cups of flour until the dough becomes too difficult to stir. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead in 1/2 to 1 cup additional flour until the dough is firm and resilient and no longer sticks to the work surface. Transfer to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Secure with an elastic band and set aside to rise until double in bulk. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Generously grease 3 baking sheets. Turn the dough out and divide into 8 portions. Place 1 portion on a greased baking sheet. Roll out as thinly as possible. Brush the surface of the dough with cold water, then sprinkle on a generous amount of poppy seeds. Gently press the seeds into the dough with your fingertips; Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Remove the bread from the baking sheet and transfer immediately to a cooling rack. Alternate the 3 baking sheets until all 8 portions of dough are cooked. Be sure to allow each baking sheet to cool to room temperature before applying more grease and rolling another portion of dough on it.

Rezoning Continued from page 1 Company boosts county's economy After the four-laning project is completed, Mr. Woodard said he plans to add a new front for the retail trade. Faith Mountain Company employs 25 residents of Rappahannock County, Mr. Woodward said. These are mothers and high school students working after school. He said his December payroll was in excess of $29,000. “This is money going into the Rappahannock County economy,” he said. The new location might even help alleviate traffic on Route 211, he told the planners. Most of the vehicles coming to his business come from the east; they would not have to travel to the “most congested part of the road around Sperryville,” he said. “The way our business is growing, we need additional space this summer. We can’t wait for the highway,” Mr. Woodard said. “If we can’t get rezoning, we will have to leave the county.” Faith Mountain employee Joyce Ralls said she could not relocate if the business moved out of the county. “We can come in after the children get on the school bus and leave in time to meet them coming from school. This way I can be a fulltime mother and have a full-time job,” she said. Another employee, Betty Walter, told of having to run through the rain carrying flowers from one building to another at the present location. “The shipping area is up to here in packages. I’m not complaining,” she said. “Cheri and Martin are our friends as well as our bosses. We want you to approve this so we can have better working conditions.” Opposition centers on safety, noise Robert Jenkins, speaking in opposition to the application, said of the Woodards’ presentation, “They’ve covered a lot of things I was concerned about. ” He wondered, however, what would happen during spring and fall festivals such as those Faith Mountain has sponsored in Sperryville in the past. “There are hundreds of cars. Where are they going to park, all along Route 211?” he asked. He said he lives between the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative and the property up for rezoning. Mr. Jenkins told the commissioners he already hears a lot of noise from the Co-op in the early mornings, “[and] I’m not crazy about having an outlet store on the other side.” Mr. Woodard said he didn’t plan to have festivals at the new location. ‘That is an activity that lends itself to a location like a village.” Mrs. Woodard added, “The earliest we start is 7 a.m. It’s later on weekends. We’re basically a very quiet industry.” James Shaw said he lives about 1/10-mile away across Route 211 from the property being considered. “There is no money in the federal budget now for that project (fourlaning 211),’’ he said. “That is the most dangerous place on 211.” Mr. Shaw said he often hears the squeal of brakes. And, he added, “I bought a place out in the country to be in the country. I like to sit on my porch and look out at trees and mountains — not cars parked beside a building.” Krebser questions aesthetics There was no one else to speak from the audience, so Planning Commission Chairman Allen Stokes asked for questions or comments from the members. Dr. Werner Krebser said he was mainly concerned about the appearance of the building. “It will be the first commercial building people will see coming from Sperryville.” He said Route 211 between Warrenton and Gainesville looks “honky-tonk. I had hoped in Rappahannock we could have something that looks better." he concluded. “I'd be foolish not to make it look as attractive as possible," Mr. Woodard replied. Member John Marshall Clark said he saw a significant difference between this application and the previous one and made a motion that the planners forward the application with the Woodards’ proffers to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval. After a fewmore comments the motion was passed 6-0 (Planning Commission member David Fannon was not present at the meeting). In other action, the planners: • voted to recommend approval for a special use permit for Mr. and Mrs. Paul Swapman to operate an antique shop in an outbuilding on the same property as their home near Amissville. This application nowgoes to the Board of Zoning Appeals with a recommendation that any sign advertising the business be restricted to six square feet and that employees of the business be restricted to residents of the house. • recommended approval of a special use permit for Rob Brown to build a three-unit apartment house in Sperry ville with commercial space on the bottom floor. Action on this permit had been delayed from an earlier meeting because Mr. Brown had to supply additional information — a site plan showing the location of the building, provision for parking, water and sewer provisions, and driveways. Since this information had been supplied by Mr. Brown the planners recommended approval of the permit. This application will also go to the BZA for action. Finally, the planners agreed on final changes to the county’s comprehensive plan. Most of the suggestions for additions made by Dr. Krebser were included. The planners agreed that the area called the General Commercial District would be along Route 211 between the toll house (just west of the Child Care and Learning Center) and the intersection with Route 622 (the Shade Road).

Rt 11, North of Woodstock, VA 22664 (703)459 - 3233 Budget Continued from page 1 rently pay a flat rate, he said. Dr. Gangel also proposes that the county increase the percentage of the single subscriber’s premium over a period of years to 100 percent. “Health insurance is an important part of the salary package we can offer prospective employees,” he said. Another increase the county can expect, if not this year then surely next year, will come in the cost of replacement buses. The firm that has been supplying the school bus bodies does not expect any companies to be building gasoline-powered chassis for school buses after April. In the current budget, $50,000 is allocated for two replacement buses. If the system has to shift to dieselpowered buses. Dr. Gangel told the board members this figure will increase to at least $55,000. There might later be a savings on fuel and maintenance costs, he said. Another increase in costs to the school system will come in the form of electronic mail. The State Department of Education is phasing out its use of the postal service and switching to sending information to the school system by computer. As long as all the information was also coming by mail. Dr. Gangel told the board, the administration was ignoring the change. However, they have been notified that after March 1, the school system will be charged for all electronic mail sitting unread in the computer. Dr. Gangel said he initially expected to have all the electronic mail go to the computer on the School Board secretary’s desk. “But you have all seven floors (of the education department building] dumping mail into this computer,” he told the Board members. Rappahannock County wijl need four computer terminals to handle this mail, he estimated. Money now in the budget for administration of special education or vocational education can be used to purchase terminals at a state contract price. The state will train Rappahannock's employees in handling the computers. However, this means that in future years the cost of paper, ink, printers to produce copies of this mail and electricity to operate the computers and printers will be shifted from Richmond to Rappahannock, Dr. Gangel added. Other considerations in arriving at next year’s budget are funding for the seven-period day, having a fulltime guidance counselor at the elementary school (this will be required next year by the state), and teaching all the high school-aged, trainable, mentally retarded students at the high school. This year some are at the high school and some are being taught in Madison. The cost of teaching them all locally will be only a little more than the transportation and tuition costs of having them taught in Madison, Dr. Gangel told the board. Other budget priorities are ex^ panding the teaching of Spanish from grade five to grades five and six, the electronic classroom (which will be used to teach Latin and Advanced Placement English), and remedial education for kindergarteners and first-graders. Remedial teaching currently begins with second-graders, but Dr. Gangel told the board remediation is most effective when it is started as early as possible. Dr. Gangel said he also wants to offer an eight percent salary increase to all employees. Another change for next year — which should not cost more money — is using the elementary computer lab now used for sixth-grade math for teaching keyboarding to fifthgraders. Finally, Dr. Gangel said, he would like to make whatever scheduling changes are necessary to guarantee duty-free lunch periods to all elementary school teachers. At last week’s meeting the members heard from Linda Mallory, a parent, who requested that, in future years, Martin Luther King Day be a day off from school for the children so that they can attend special programs honoring Dr. King in their churches. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie told her that her request would be forwarded to the committee which recommends the school calendar. The board voted to delay accepting any bid for the school van because the high bid of $5,875 was less than they had expected to receive. The board also learned that the power surge on Jan. 4 had caused damage to equipment that would cost about $1,500 to repair. The board may be reimbursed by Potomac Edison for this expense. The board agreed to sell the old scoreboard from the high school gymnasium to another school for $500 and reviewed plans for a dechlorinator to be built on-site at the elementary school for treating sewage before it goes to the lagoon. During the in-service part of the meeting, the board heard from Volunteer Coordinator April Heddleston about the success of the volunteers who are helping with the remedial program. Mrs. Heddleston said that the most effective remedial model is one-on-one tutoring, and that while some tutors are just getting started, others are already seeing results. “We’re pleased to have the talent of many people in the community," she said. Dr. Gangel also told the board that the county has received reports back from the state and that both schools are fully' accredited in all areas of instruction.

DeMille's great coverup On the surface, the Guadalupe Dunes in California are nesting grounds for seabirds, including the endangered least tern. But according to International Wildlife magazine, it’s what is below the sands that makes these dunes unusual. When Cecil B. DeMille com pleted his epic silent film, The Ten Commandments in the early 1920s, he had the massive Egyptian set buried under the dunes. Soon, archeologists will begin excavating the artifacts from the early days of movies. But they’ll be working only during the months birds aren’t nesting. Eileen M.

County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors that members of the town’s Architectural Review Board would like to see the building saved. In recent years the only maintenance on the building has been occasional repainting. Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors that he questions whether the building can be moved without falling apart. The generator now kept in the building would be moved under the porch. Correction In last week’s story about the Washington Town Council’s February meeting, it was incorrectly reported that the council approved a request for an appropriation from a special fund to plant annual flowers in the baskets around town. Actually, the town will pay for those plantings from its general fund, and the special fund appropriation will be used to plant ground cover and trees on the steep bank between the sidewalk and Gay Street in front of the courthouse.
