The Virginia Extension Service warns that some products are labeled with special disposal instructions. Some should be rinsed with water, for example, while others like caustic drain cleaners should never have water added. Secure the original cap and wrap the container in newspaper. This prevents leaks and also makes it harder for a child or pet to get into it. Never use empty containers for another product. Not only do other people not know what is inside, the two chemicals may combine with disasterous results. Don't pour leftovers into the drain or toilet, unless that's where they are supposed to go. The chemicals may clog or damage the pipes. Use the product up — if you can't, give it to someone who can. Slaughter’s rep to visit Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr.'s district representative, Jane Clatterbuck, will make her monthly visit to Rappahannock County on Wednesday, , April 12. She will be at the courthouse from 10:30-11:30 a.m., and residents are invited to stop by and offer their comments or concerns about matters pending before the U.S. Congress. Constituents who wish to speak with Mrs. Clatterbuck privately may contact her at Rep. Slaughter's Culpeper office (825-3495). The office is located at 110 S. West St. Recycle used motor oil , Residents who wish to recycle their ' -6sed motor oil now have a convenient place within the county to drop it off. C.B. Johnson, owner of Riverside Auto on Route 1002 in Sperryville, will accept used motor oil. The Commonwealth of Virginia has been encouraging the recycling of used oil as an alternative to traditional methods of disposal, which all too often included dumping it on the ground where it pollutes streams and groundwater. Burning ban in effect Forest Warden Tippy Jenkins reminds residents that, as of March 1, the state's burning law went into effect. Under thelaw, from now until May 15, outside burning of any kind within 300 feet of any woods or grasslands is prohibited before 4 ,p.m. The fine, Warden Jenkins noted, has been increased this year to $500. For residents thinking about doing clearing and ourmng, a can to warden Jenkins to cneck on fire conditions is recommended. He can be reached through the county's dispatch office (675-3331) or by calling 987-8837. A call to the dispatch center by residents notifying them of a planned controlled burn is also requested. That way, a report of Smoke by someone else may be tied to the burn, saving the county's volunteer firefighters a wild goose chase. Reports will still be checked out, but can be crossreferenced with known controlled burns before a full response is sent.

Mr. Anderson was appointed last week to fill the vacancy created by Nelson Lane’s resignation. Budget proposes 5% raises, funding for planning studies By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors got a first look at the county’s budget for the coming year at its regular monthly meeting Monday, but many numbers were not yet available. The county has not yet received notice from the State Compensation Board on approved salaries for Constitutional officers, and much of the budget is dependent on these figures. The Board did find out that County Administrator John McCarthy is recommending five percent raises for those cdunty employees who aren’t covered by salary scales set in Richmond. One exception is landfill operator Harold Artz, whose salary Mr. McCarthy recommended be raised to a $17,000 base, and then a $500 raise applied to that. Included in the budget is $155,000 for the jail addition, and $10,000 for a dog pound. Mr. McCarthy also requested $7,500 for one or more consultants to do an plan for the area along Route 211 that is designated for future commercial growth. This work would involve maps showing needed improvements in roads, water, and sewer lines that would be needed if this area is allowed to develop. Mr. McCarthy told the board he would like to do this area plan this year, and starting next year do similar studies for the village areas that are designated for future residential growth. Included in the budget is $175,000 for trash collection from the dumpsters — up $19,000 from this year’s budget — and $95,000 for improvements to the landfill, a decrease from the $350,000 budgeted in this year’s budget. The county’s share of the $507,810 welfare budget is due to increase $12,322 to $90,741. Most of this increase is due to foster care programs for children. The cost of juveniles in detention is also expected to increase for next year to $15,000 from $2,500 bud geted this year. Actually most of the increase was between last year and this year, and expenses this year have far surpassed the $2,500 budgeted. The County Extension office is asking for a new extension agent to work with 4-H clubs. The county's share of that salary would be one-third. t The Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad Association is requesting about $25,000 additional in county funds. Association President Frankie Huff explained, in a letter to the board, that $15,000 of that is for a capital outlay for purchasing a new phone system to go into the jail addition for dispatching. Part of that would also be used to change the radio frequency on all the radio units used by the various fire companies and rescue squads. Chief Huff explained that sharing a frequency with Culpeper County has become difficult due to an increase in radio See BUDGET, p. 18 Comprehensive plan adopted Bingham s harangue fails to sway board By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer After a public hearing dominated by Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham’s insistence that the Comprehensive Plan is neither comprehensive nor a plan, the Board of Supervisors voted four to one to approve it Monday evening. Speaking in favor of the plan, Allen Olson, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, said he felt the plan "reflects the goals and objectives of the majority of citizens of this county.” He said that as a lawyer he believed the plan was “legally defensible, and provides an important basis and underpinning for the zoning and subdivision ordinances.” Agricultural Extension Agent Thomas Williams said he had reviewed the portions of the plan that concern agriculture and found it a “well thought-out plan.” He said there is “renewed interest in agriculture in Rappahannock County” and urged that the plan be adopted. Jonathan Cadwalader said he agreed with Mr. Olson. Peter White of Piedmont District told the supervisors he believed the plan “incorporates a great deal of vision and foresight.” Robert Dennis from Wakefield District urged that the plan be adopted. He noted that the existing plan, which was drafted in 1980, probably could not be defended against legal challenge since the county is required to update its plan every five years. He mentioned two articles that have appeared in the Washington Post in the past week, which highlight the problems of burgeoning growth in the suburban counties surrounding Washington, D.C. One story about the growth in office space in the Tysons’ Corner area said that in 1987 the office space in the area was equal to that in downtown Miami, and now it is equal to all the office space in Seattle. “Since there is no unemployment to speak of in that area, it will mean that people will move into there. Some of those people will want to move out here,” Mr. Dennis said. The other Post article, Mr. Dennis said, stated that taxes in Loudoun County are due to increase 30 nercent this vear to nav for pxnvth. “That is what happens to any jurisdiction which r is on the edge of this growth without being an employ- / ment center,” he said. Phil Irwin said that he had “eavesdropped on the process and found the product showed a great amount of compromise ... I feel there is far too much permissable grow th," but he urged support for the plan. Mark Malek of Piedmont District supported the plan saying “as we make exceptions, it makes our plan weaker.” Susan Babcock of Hampton District said, “It is an excellent plan. 1 believe agriculture is growing here. It is important to move on this tonight. It’s already late.” Frank Reynolds of Stonewall-Hawthom District said the plan was “well-done. You have applied a lot of far-reaching principles.” In the past many counties looked to Loudoun as a county that was doing a good job of planning. Now, Mr. Reynolds said, when he attends meetings of the Boards of Supervisors in Culpeper and Fauquier counties he hears people get up and tell their supervisors “in a very irate way, ‘Why can’t you do things the way Rappahannock County does because those people' really know what they’re doing. They’re trying to protect themselves.’ That’s been good.” Pearl Clark of Jackson District said concerning the information in the plan about the Amissville area, “I don’t See PLAN, p. 14 Sheriff acquitted of slander By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Seven jurors took just 35 minutes to find Sheriff John Henry Woodward not guilty of slandering Mildred Cebula in comments he made to the Board of Supervisors about the food served to the jail’s inmates. In a civil action the former owner of the Hampton Inn brought last spring, she alleged that the comments made by Sheriff Woodward during the January, 1988 meeting of the county’s supervisors had caused her physical and emotional distress, had publicly humiliated and embarrassed her, and had led to such a loss of business in her restaurant that she had been forced to close. Mrs. Cebula’s suit, which was originally filed as three separate charges, was reduced to two counts before the trial. One count, that Sheriff Woodward conspired with the Board of Supervisors and the public to “willfully injure” Mrs. Cebula, was withdrawn by Mr. O’Neill before the trial began. A second charge, that Sheriff Woodward invented the allegations he made to the board, that he fabricated evidence to support the charges, ana encouragea tne jau s inmates and his employees to do the same in an intentional and malicious attempt to destroy Mrs. Cebula’s business, was dismissed by Judge Thomas Home following the presentation of Mrs. Cebula’s case. The third count, that Sheriff Woodward’s comments were made “without fact and with malice . . . knowingly, willfully and maliciously,” and that Mrs. Cebula suffered public humiliation, emotional distress and economic loss, was the only one considered by the jury. The suit alleged that Sheriff Woodward made the comments maliciously in order to bolster his case for building a kitchen at the jail in Washington. Mrs. Cebula asked for $150,000 in compensatory damages for the alleged slander, and another $150,000 in puntative damages as punishment for Sheriff Woodward. At the meeting in January, 1988, Sheriff “They asked him questions, and he gave frank and honest answers — that the food service was part of the problem. That is no reason that he should be held liable. ” — Roger Wiley Sheriff Woodward's attorney Woodward told the board that he planned to request the addition of a kitchen at the jail, because of constant complaints from the inmates about the jail’s food, which was prepared by Mrs. Cebula at the Hampton Inn under a contract with the countv. He told the board that several Department of Corrections officials had eaten at the restaurant and had become sick on the trip back to Richmond. The sheriff alleged that the greasy food was the cause of numerous prisoner visits to the town’s medical clinic, and that it took up to two weeks for prisoners to become accustomed to the food. “We’re lucky we haven’t been sued over it,” Sheriff Woodward told the board, because of “foreign material” which had been found in the food. During the trial on March 22, Mrs. Cebula told the jury that she had been in the restaurant business for 24 years, including 11 years as the owner of the Hampton Inn. During the more than four years she preSee SUIT, p. 14 Rappahannock News pho(o/Lou Hatter SHARING A LIGHT MOMENT, Clinic Director Linda Mock (right) talks with therapist Gary Rafala (left) and office manager Sandra Parker. For new clinic director, county is just like home By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer To some, a move from rural, western Kentucky to Rappahannock County, Virginia would be entering a different world. But for Bluegrass State native Linda Mock, it’s just like home. Ms. Mock is the new clinic director at Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock. She succeeds longtime director Lee Nettles, who was promoted to the FGS office in Orange County. See MOCK, p. 18

Guest calls race quits By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspaper* Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Del. Andy Guest has announced his withdrawal from the gubernatorial race, leaving three candidates to battle it out for the Republican nomination. Amidst the applause of his supporters. flashes of cameras and tears in his eyes, he made the announcement on March 29 at campaign headquarters in Richmond. The statement came as little surprise. Throughout Guest’s campaign for governor, he reiterated his theme — "The difference is real” — stressing the differences among those seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination. For Guest, though, the differences were all too real as he trailed the other candidate^ in public opinion polls and fund-raising efforts. Former state Attorney General J. Marshall Coleman, 8th District U.S. Rep. Stan Parris, and former U.S. Senator Paul'S. Trible Jr. are the remaining GOP candidates vying for the gubernatorial nomination. Although truest s witnarawai from the race is not expected to significantly aid any of his former opponents, all three campaigns have claimed Guest’s supporters. Bruce Hildebrandt, Parris’ press secretary said,“With Stan’s experience and conservatism. Guest’s supporters will go to us.” Shortly after Guest’s statement, Coleman announced several Republican leaders, many from the 7th Congressional District, have thrown their support from Guest to Coleman. Included on the list of supporters was Del. Clinton Miller, R-28th District. “Among those running for governor within our party, Andy Guest and I alone shared an important qualification: years of state government experience,” said Coleman. Despite the candidates’ enthusiasm to link themselves to the current House Minority Leader, Guest said he had no intention of endorsing any of the GOP candidates until after the primary. Guest said he stands ready to assist the eventual Republican nominee in the general election against the probable Democratic nominee, Lt. Gov. Douglas L. Wilder. The delegate from Front Royal, who announced his candidacy last November, blamed his late start, in part, for his unsuccessful campaign. “Tpo much time and money were being claimed by mv opponents, and a N.tge number of Republicans made early commitments to them,” said Guest. "I think I was perceived as a long-shot, quite accurate when I came in, and I never got over that,” he added. Guest also criticized his opponents and the press for not discussing the issues.

Coleman and Trible squabbling, he labeled their behavior “ridiculous.” “That's a campaign?” he asked with a look of disbelief. To the group of reporters covering the Republican primary, Guest said, “With all honesty, my friends, you all are as much to blame as those candidates. You cover the blood and guts, and you don’t cover the issues equally.” Guests called upon the GOP candidates to talk about issues and unity. “A divisive campaign will tear us apart and certainly hand over the governor’s office to the Democrats for the third consecutive time,” said Guest. In response to Guest’s comments, John Miller, Trible’s press spokesman, said, “Paul Trible has and will continue to run a positive campaign, talking about the issues.” Guest concluded his statement by saying, “This announcement is not one through which I retire from the war. In the words of a Marine commander in Korea who had been surrounded by hoards of Chinese troops, 'Retreat hell, I’m attacking in a new direction.’” What new direction remains to be seen. As of yet, Guest has not ruled out the possibility that he might run for re-election to his seat in the House of Delegates. Annual road hearing in Culpeper April 12 State, county and city officials and interested residents within the Virginia Department of Transportation’s nine-county Culpeper district will get a transportation progress report from Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel on Wednesday, April 12. They also will have a chance to help set the district’s transportation project agenda for the next fiscal year. The progress report will be given at VDOT’s annual preallocation public hearing, which gives officials and citizens a say in the distribution of approximately $20.4 million of funds among interstate, primary, urban and public transit projects. Identification of key transportation needs by officials and the public will assist VDOT in updating its sixyear highway and transit program. The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. at the Virginia Department of Transportation’s district office on Route 15, one-half mile south of Route 3 in Culpeper.

The $4.4 million budget includes a request for $2,330,816 in county funds, up $411,089 from last year, but less $3,079 from the first draft presented to the board by Superintendent David Gangel. Most of the difference, $2,779, came from new estimates of state funds to support the budget. The rest qame from the decision to appropriate $300 from this year's budget to repair a leaky roof rather than carry the item into the next fiscal year. The School Board approved a request for $11,138 to supplement the textbook rental system for replacing textbooks. A decision on that item had been postponed pending the textbook selection committee’s ten tative recommendation on the new reading series. But the committee was not ready with the recommendation, so the original amount was approved, based on the average cost of new books. Also approved last Tuesday were $500 requests for continuing the flouride rinse program and testing the water at both schools. Dr. Gangel told the board that since the county schools do not yet have a new dentist, he had no recommendation from the Health Department on whether to resume the flouride program. The water testing was up from $225 budgeted last year, but Dr. Gangel told the board that did not really reflect a doubling in the cost, but that the cost had been budgeted too low for this year. Finally the board approved a re quest for $96,182 for employee health insurance. This will provide $1,108 each for 65 employees. The amount was supposed to cover 70 percent of a Blue Cross/Blue Shield single subscriber cost of $1,584. Forty-seven employees are expected to remain with other, less costly options. The school employees will continue w ith the Johnson and Higgens Premier Plan II. The cost for a single subscriber this year was $1,460. Dr. Gangel told the board that a spokesman for the Virginia School Boards Association had told him they expected a “slight increase of no more than 20 percent. I guess the 32 percent it w'ent up last year was a little more than slight.” The amount included in the budget will only cover 70 percent of the premium if the increase is no more than 12 percent, Dr. Gangel told the board members. If the increase is 20 percent, the amount included in the budget will be less than 70 percent. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie noted that the budget would be presented to the Board of Supervisors with a preamble giving the priorities of instruction, salaries and fringe benefits. “When the Board of Supervisors thinks about it, if they’re giving 100 percent to county employees, they’ll go along with 70 percent for school employees,”’ she said. The job of putting the budgeted amounts into the new budget categories was left for the School Board office staff, with the School Board members receiving copies once the work was done. With the work on the budget completed, the board went into executive session to discuss the purchase of land for a middle school. No action was taken. Correction In last week’s article about the county’s two retiring postmasters, it was incorrectly stated that Mary Curtis joined the post office in Flint Hill upon the retirement of Barbara Gentry. Actually, Mrs. Curtis was hired when Mabel Lillard retired and Mrs. Gentry succeeded her as the postmaster. When Mrs. Gentry retired six years later, Mrs. Curtis was then appointed as Flint Hill’s postmaster. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1989 Admirable leadership We’re disheartened by the news that Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. has pulled out of the race for the Republican nomination for governor. In making the announcement last week, Del. Guest faced up to the reality that his candidacy was always a long-shot, crippled by lack of a well-known name and less-than-adequate funds behind the campaign. In that respect, we applaud his willingness to confront an unconfortable truth. The criticisms he leveled against his opponents, former Senator Paul Trible, former state Attorney General Marshall Coleman and Congressman Stan Parris, were also right on target. Too much of the campaign has been spent with the candidates sniping at each other, while they have paid only lip service to a few easy issues — like drugs and crime. During Del. Guest’s long career in Virginia’s House of Delegates, he has always shown an ability to balance the often-competing interests of the widely different counties that comprise the 31st Legislative District. We’re sorry that he won’t get a chance to exercise that ability at the state level — from the governor’s office. As Virginia continues to grow, and urban, suburban and rural interests offer increasingly different agendas, the state will need someone who can perform that difficult balancing act. One bright spot emanating from Del. Guest’s press conference was his refusal to rule out a bid for re-election to his House seat. Although he had previously announced that he would not run for both seats — another admirable decision given the difficulty of serving his constituents while campaigning across the Commonwealth — with his withdrawal from the governor’s race the situation has changed. We don’t see any other candidate in the 31st District race — Republican or Democrat — with Del. Guest’s considerable experience and expertise. We hope that he will reconsider his decision not to seek re-election. As the Minority Leader in the House of Delegates, Del. Guest performs a vital function in speaking for the “loyal opposition,” in his words. Losing his voice in the House of Delegates would be a loss not just for his Republican comrades and his constituents in the 31st District, but for Virginians across the state. He is a thoughtful and intelligent man, who is not afraid to take an unpopular stand — like his unsuccessful attempt to win approval of pari-mutuel racing a few years ago — when he is convinced that it is in the best interests of his constituents. That willingness and desire to champion causes important to his district has been a hallmark of Del. Guest’s service in the Virginia House. We hope that he will reconsider his earlier decision, and offer to continue his service to his 31st District constituents. ^ -<e u WASHINGTON VIRGINIA Rappahannock News photo/Loo Hatter Rappahannock Heritage FROM THE AIR, looking southwest from above Red Oak Mountain, the Blue Ridge peaks seem to go on forever. Letters to the editor Three steps to increase dispatch efficiency To the editor: I read your editorial, “Help Dispatchers Help Us,” (3/30/89) with great interest: when you get to be the ages of my husband and me, emergency service becomes a distinct possibility. Your editorial contained some excellent advice to us all as to how we can help emergency dispatchers save our own and others’ lives. You suggested that each resident could assist the fire, rescue and sheriffs department by posting not only the emergency phone number (987-8525 or 635-4488) by our phones, but also explicit written directions to our house. As you so rightly said, planning ahead of time is the key to getting rapid service. But I wonder if scared, upset people might still have trouble trying to communicate house directions they’ve posted. And what about young children who could perhaps dial the emergency phone number correctly but are too confused or unable to read directions? So how might we better cope with such problems? May I suggest a very different approach to increasing efficiency in emergency service to Rappahannock citizens. Put all necessary information about every Rappahannock household into the hands of emergency dispatchers before there is an emergency. One methods to accomplish this has been done elsewhere. It consists of a series of steps: (1) Issue each and every Rappahannock household their own emergency service identification number to be posted by or on the phone. The digits comprising this number would clearly indicate to dispatchers the general location of the troubled household: the first digit could signify the magisterial district, the second digit could represent a subdistrict, the third digit a particular section, and the rest of the digits would represent the specific house location. For example, all of us living in the Stonewall-Hawthome district would have a number starting with, let’s say, the digit “4,” then those in the Woodville sub-district would have a second digit of “3,” then all those living in the Rock Mills area would have a third digit of "5,” and finally, each house would have its own number (e.g. 435-101). (2) Next, have the emergency dispatcher’s office post a large county map on a wall. This map would use the same numbering system, thus making it easy for emergency dispatchers to get a very close idea of where a particular house is located. (3) And last, issue a form to each Rappahannock household with very specific instructions as to how to di reel tne lire department, rescue squad and sheriffs department to their house. This form would then be mailed back to the emergency dispatcher’s office and could then be reviewed for clarity by the emergency dispatchers or, better yet, by volunteers, before filing on computer or in a file drawer right where and when emergency dispatchers need it. Cooperation by Rappahannock residents should be very high since pfeople would understand that mailing in directions to their home will result in even quicker emergency service than we now have. My husband and I have often remarked on how very good the emergency services are in Rappahannock, especially given the difficulty of locating some of the houses in the hollows and elsewhere. I hope my suggestions will help provide the emergency service personnel with some further ideas for enhancing their efficiency.

In particular I take great offense to the statement “I get the impression that others (on the planning commission) are taking care of their own self interests.” I would be very interested to know where Mr. Bingham gets this “impression?” While I don*t know all the members of the Planning Commission personally, I do know they have performed a very thankless job in a very professional manner. In the opinion of myself and many others, they have done a tremendous job in rewriting both our zoning laws and our comprehensive plan, as well as their many other duties. These actions should merit accolades from our elected officials, not the hints of impropriety or corruption that Mr. Binghafn seems inclined to dispense. Mr. Bingham further statecj that “this county desperately needs new blood in positions of authority. “While I don’t feel the situation is desperate, I do agree, that new infusions of people amj ideas are vital to the ongoing su«-J cess of our county government a£ all levels. • However, why would BolJ Darby, Bob Anderson, or anyon^ else want to contribute their time and energy when one of oui» own supervisors seems all too eager to badmouth the integrity of their actions? * I suggest that the Jacksoo District seat on the Board of Su4 pervisors might be a good place to start with some new blood. ’ JAMES E.

CARTWRIGHT-BRdWN The Conyers House I

The twin fawns By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I like to watch the shadow of the farmhouse as the sun comes up over the ridge. At dawn the outline of the house and the row of trees projects onto the far slope of the valley, and it moves like a sundial, minute by minute, to the branch below. One morning in July, I was watching the shadow as the sun came up. The grass was glistening with dew, and the wrens and cardinals were singing in the cherry trees. But above this dawn chorus there was a different sound, like a creaking door in a haunted house. Of course, that was impossible, because there were open fields all around. The sound was coming from the edge of the woods. I looked carefully and made out the shape of a deer. It was a doe, and this low creaking cry ♦ j>jas directed toward the house. She £»{wis sending a warning to a pair of j>&wns that were grazing on the other •J"tjile of the garden fence, not more ‘ Jfcfian 20 yards away from me. I stood absolutely still, like frjjjjtra fence post with a hat on. an Twin fawns are not rare. A doe roduces one fawn in the first seaso I am told, but after that her 'spring can often be twins. During first months of their life, fawns ^,_^ve no trail of scent. This makes ’-•{hem more venturesome, and per•j- haps less afraid. The mother doe had picked up my scent from a long way off, but it didn’t bother the two fawns. They were light brown and Bambispotted, and quite oblivious of me. They paid no attention to the creaking warning cry of the mother, and grazed over the moist grass, making ^tbeir way into the tree-covered ravine. Then the doe came across from Perspective the woods, and walked right in front of me, following the scent of her young. I grew' up on a farm near Sherwood Forest in England, but Robin Hood and the deer of the merry men were long-gone. I am not a hunter, and July was not the hunting season, but I could feel a strange tingle at being so close to raw venison. The next morning, my wife Julia caught sight of the fawns, now grazing safely on the far side of the valley. Even though they were so small, they could jump the fences like the mother, and could raise a small white tail to send a danger signal as they ran. We called them “the twins,” and we saw them often. Later in the year, when the leaves were turning to fall colors, a blue pickup came slowly down the driveway. When it arrived at the house, five young fellows got out, dressed ready for hunting in checkered shirts, cotton jeans and hunting caps. Each one carried a sporting rifle with telescopic sights. I doubt that any one of them was over 16. They had seen three deer on the far hill — the doe and the now muchlarger twins. They were the quietest group of boys this side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They were excited, yet they kept their voices down to the merest whisper as they watched the deer. “Are they on your land?” one of them asked. I knew what he really meant. He meant could he shoot them. “No,” I said, “those deer are on the Colonel’s land, arid he’s just like me; he won’t let you shoot at them either.” “Can we just sight on them, then?” “All right. Sight but don’t shoot,” I said. So the boys put their brand-new rifles on the edge of the pickup, and looked at the deer through the telescopic sights. “Gee! Three beauties,” whispered the leader as he swung his rifle’s telescope from the mother to the twins. The other boys were glued to their sights, tense and determined. True to the agreement, they kept their fingers off the triggers. Then, happy to have seen three live deer in their shiny gunsights, they ail drove off. The deer walked slowly into the woods, unharmed. Julia and I do not worry much about hunters and deer. Most of the shots seem to miss, and they generally obey the hunting limits. Even if the boys had fired, those twins were 1,000 yards away — too far for the range of their rifles. Anyway, it was only because it was out of season that the boys had got such a good view. Our farm deer always disappear as soon as the hunting season begins. Maybe they are scared off by the first few shots, or maybe they follow the old grizzled bucks who know it is “that time of year.” On schedule, the doe and fawns left the farm in November, and returned again in the new year. The twins left their tracks in the February snow, together with the marks of larger deer, foxes, crows and field mice. When we saw them again they were no longer fawns. Their spots had faded, and the coats were a dull gray — a perfect camouflage, difficult to separate from the granite boulders. As winter turned to spring, the twins became yearlings. They kept together for a while, grazing at night and following their old track into the ravine at dawn. Then they separated. One" concentrated on the salt lick that we have on the hillside. It was a buck and needed the minerals for its antlers. The other twin was a doe, and it joined a small, shy group of other does. A new cycle of nature was beginning. “Next summer,” I thought, “I might hear the sound of that ‘creaking door’ again. I might see a new pair of twins by the garden fence, as the shadow of the house glides down the hillside.” Dr. Gerald Hawkins lives outside Woodville.

Because they use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in the photosynthesis process, more trees are needed to preserve our environment. If communities were to plant trees along streets and on public land and homeowners planted a tree or two in their yards, it might go at least part of the way in helping to slow down the “greenhouse effect” so many are concerned about these days. Resist the temptation to get out into the garden too early. Cold, damp soils offer no help in the germination of seeds and you’ll not gain any advantage. Wait until soils dry out and warm up before planting. A day when nothing has been accomplished can never be recaptured and is lost forever.

Neighbors and former students won’t have to remain outside, wondering what happened to the black boards where they first encountered the multiplication tables, or window sills where they carved their initials, for what they assumed was posterity. The new owners, John and Sizie Lipko, plan three housewarming parties, sometime around next Christmas — one for the workmen, one for anyone who went to school in the old building and another for guests “by invitation only.” 10YEARS AGO April 5, 1979 The first Fodderstack Classic, a six-mile foot race open to anyone interested in running, is scheduled for Saturday, April 21 from Flint Hill to Washington, Va. by way of Fodderstack Road.

Peanut butter a nutritional favorite, too serving for lunch or dinner with two fat servings omitted. The American Diabetes Association includes peanuts and peanut butter in its guidelines for meal planning. Ten unshelled peanuts are listed as one fat exchange. A tablespoon serving of peanut butter is one meat exhange and a medium fat meat (2 fat exchanges must be omitted). All diabetic diets must be prescribed by a physician and the menu plan should be developed with the assistance of a dietition or nutritionist. Peanut butter contains 75 milligrams sodium per tablespoon which is relatively low when compared with a medium egg (35 mg.) or breads (ranging from 120-150 mg. By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics Peanut butter, aside from being a favorite of the young set, may be the perfect food, ranking high in more nutritional categories than any other food. Peanut butter is 26 percent protein, containing more protein than eggs, dairy products, and many cuts of meat. It is also high in phosphorous, niacin, and polyunsaturated fat. It’s no surprise that peanut butter was first concocted in 1890 for medicinal purposes by a St. Louis physician seeking an easily digested, high protein food for some of his pa tients. Since then, Americans have taken to peanut butter in increasing numbers annually. In 1983, it took more than 660 million pounds of shelled peanuts, or 52 percent of the American peanut crop, to satisfy the demand. The average American eats six pounds of peanut a year. Everyone knows that kids love peanut butter, but did you know that it also ranks No. 1 with youngsters in the teen years? What’s more, a recent survey conducted in the Southeast shows that adults, too, really go for peanut butter. Of surveyed families that had no children under 18, a surprising 63 per. A_ cent said they regularly keep smooth peanut butter on hand, and 21 percent stock the chunky variety. Peanuts were known in the American colonies before 1750, and Thomas Jefferson mentioned them as “ground nuts” or “ground peas". For many years it was believed that slaves brought the peanut with them from Africa, but discovery of peanuts in Inca tombs now indicates that the peanut is native to the Americas and was probably spread to Africa and Asia by 16th-century Spanish and Portuguese explorers, possibly Magellan himself. Peanuts have beeh ground and mixed with honey or cocoa in South America for centuries. All peanut butter, of course, is not the same. There is a distinct taste difference between most brands, and also a variety of textures and spreadability. Peanuts and peanut butter are two items that seen on most diets, whether you’re reducing, diabetic, sodium-restricted, or cholesterol restricted. Many weight reduction diets include peanut butter as a protein alternative to meat, fish, eggs, cheese, or poultry. Generally, it’s recommended that 1 tablespoon (90 calories) be used as a protein Grade A WHOLE FRYERS Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, April 9, 1989. Ripe Pint .8* Wise - 7 Oz.

Americas Premier Automotive Family @ Schmidt offers songs along with a smile By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Traditional music boasts many a master musician who can toss off a one-liner or tell a tall tale that leaves listeners laughing - but no one loves the laugh like Claudia Schmidt loves the laugh. She cherishes the chuckle, guards the guffaw and holds dear the hee-haw. She refines humor to an art form, and like the record producer skillfully mixing instruments and voices in the studio, she mixes humor and music on stage. Yes, she plays the guitar, the dulcimer and the deluxe pianola. Yes, she writes gentle songs of mother love, heart-wrenching laments oflove lost and upbeat, fingersnapping toe-tappers of love found that set a bam full of folks to dancing. And, oh yes, she can sing. But it’s the laughter more than anything else that sets her apart form the rest of today’s top acoustical musicians. No one can write about Claudia Schmidt without mentioning her infectious humor; and no one can pass up the perfect description of her singing style. It comes from Garrison Keillor, creator and host of public radio’s Prairie Home Companion (and print journalists everwhere wish they’d thought of it first): “When Claudia sings a song, it stays sung.” While it’s not bluegrass, or even country music, much of Ms. Schmidt’s repertoire, particularly the original songs, is music of the country. “I’ve lived in the country a lot,” she acknowledged. “I require the country a lot - the natural environment, the outdoors. “I never thought of myself as a songwriter,” Ms. Schmidt said. “I ivrite as I’m inspired, and I find inspiration anywhere and everywhere. It’s more of a non-approach than an approach — attaining a state of receptivity to what’s going on around me. I’m geared to the profound undercurrents in mundane events,” she said, describing her song writing as “orchestrating the everyday.” “My heart is in performing,” she continued. And she knows it because the communication between Ms. Schmidt and a live audience goes both ways. “Every audience is different,” she explained. So every Claudia Schmidt concert is different. At her concert in Rappahannock County two years ago, the prevailing theme was laughter. She talked about constantly being struck with wonder at everyday life, at its beauty and complexity. She calls her gift of delight “a low wonder threshold.” RAAC has scheduled an unusual appearance for her at the Gav Street Theater, Saturday, April 8, beginning at 8 p.m. There will be special homemade refreshments for sale and. a reception immediately following at the Village Cafe. Tickets are available at the regular ticket outlets in advance, at reduced prices. RAAC members may get their tickets at further reduction at the RAAC office in the theater, or at Mountainside Market. For the ticket outlet nearest you, call the RAAC Arts Hotline at (703) 675-3073.

Spray program planned in G. W. Forest This spring the Forest Service plans to treat 5,510 acres of the George Washington National Forest to manage gypsy moth populations, according to Forest Supervisor Wayne Kelley. Aerial and ground surveys indicate that infestations of the gypsy moth are building to damaging levels in high-value recreation sites and general forest areas on the Lee Ranger District of the George Wash ington National Forest, Kelley sau). According to Kelley, the Forest Service looked at a wide range of alternatives and a maximum of 12,810 acres for possible treatment. Comments were received from the public through meetings and written responses. The public input and evaluation of alternatives led to the decision to treat 5,510 acres in six recreation areas and nine general forest areas. The Best Rooms Under The Sun.

He pointed out that the treatments are to be done in cooperation with State and County gypsy moth suppression projects within and adjacent to the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management (AIPM) project area. “The method of treatment is as important or maybe more important than the amount of acres to be treated. There was concern expressed about the use of Dimilin and the long term effect on the environment,” Kelley said. Of the total 5,510 acres to be treated, 2,290 acres will be treated with Dimilin, 2,740 acres will be treated with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), and 480 acres will be treated with Gypchek.

Gypsy moth brochure Each year, America’s forests are threatened by one of our country’s most voracious insects-the gypsy moth. They defoliate large areas of forests and can kill trees in homeowner’s yard. With information from the American Forestry Association, anyone can take action against these hungry pests. The American Forestry Association, the national citizens organization for trees and forests, has a free brochure that contains information on the life cycle of this pest and techniques for homeow ner control.

Rather than acting as a stomach or nerve poison, it disrupts insect growth and development. The chemical interferes with the formation of chitin which is a substance found in the body wall of insects. Chitin is not found in mammals and birds. Dimilin may impact the other plant feeding insects and aquatic insects and crustaceans (shrimp, crayfish, etc.) because these animals depend on chitin in the formation of their body wall. Because of this concern Dimilin will not be sprayed over open water or perennial streams. Bt is a naturally occurring microorganism and is not toxic to humans. The strain of Bt planned for use in this project is specific for the caterpillar stage of several moths and butterflies. Bt can be applied to vegetation adjacent to open bodies of water without any adverse effects to floodplain or wetland organisms with the exception of the caterpillar stage of some non-target moths and butterflies.

VDOT enlists 'hole' patrol After an unusually mild January, many people were beginning to think winter had forgotten all about Virginia this year. At the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), road construction continued unabated in the warm January temperaturs. Then, almost as an afterthought, February and March unleashed a couple of late winter storms. In baseball terms, January was a soft pop fly followed by the hard line drives of February and March The winter of 1989 finally got on the scoreboard. VDOT road repair crews are going about the business of finding and fixing potholes and, again this year, the public has been invited to join in the search. One week before ^Te °fficial beginning of spring, VDOl commissioner Ray D. Pethtel provided radio stations in Virginia with a series of three public service announcements aimed at enlisting Virginia motorists in a “pothole patrol. What the commissioner says in these announcements is, “you'find ’em, we’ll fix ’em.” Motorists in Virginia can reporU potholes on state-maintained hiehf ways by calling the toll-free HitruT - way Helpline (toll-free) at (800) 3€7- 1 ROAD. Said Commissioner Pethtel “We know potholes are going to api pear this time of year, and we’re looking for them. But, when motorists find them before we do we kp predate their reporting it, and we have a toll-free number to make that reporting easier.”

♦ Softballers start with ■ 1-run win By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer “It ain’t over until it’s over,” • baseball great Yogi Berra once told ! his team. Down 18-8 last Friday, RappaI hannock’s girls softball coach Renee | Leake borrowed that old cliche in or; der to rally her team. And when it was over, the Lady Panthers had earned their first victory by coming ! back against the visiting Luray Bull! dogs, 25-24. j The win helped ease the embaJ rassment of their defeat earlier in | the week when Rappahannock lost ■ the season opener to the Strasburg 1 Rams, 19-1. RCHS grabbed an early lead in I Thursday’s home game against Lu; ray when the Bulldog pitcher ; started “walking in” runners. Rappahannock built a 7-1 lead before Lu■ ray’s coach went to the bullpen; the reliever ended the first inning with two outs in a row. Kappahannock s defense pro; duced two quick outs to start the second inning. Then the Bulldogs calmed down and started stringing > together base hits. The lead was 1 trimmed to 7-6 before Jennifer ; Wines grabbed a fly ball to end the ; inning. The Bulldogs continued their of- fen$ive surge in the third inning . with 12 runs. Many of the runs came off doubles and triples, causing ; Coach Leake to moan, “They’re kill■ ing my pitchers!” Leake substituted Amy Nokes ■ for Karen Payne halfway through t the inning but the junior Nokes ! fared little better against the consisJ tent Luray hitters. At the end of ; three innings Luray led 18-8 and the Panthers’ hopes looked bleak as rain-filled clouds darkened the sky. “In the second and third innings ! we had relaxed at the plate waiting ! for walks. The girls would be behind ; in the count before we’d swing,” ; Coach Leake said. But rallied by a ■_ team conference between innings and a home run by Dana Finchum, i the Lady Panthers stepped their " game up a notch and surged back, A J4-22, after five. The left side of the defense — Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan TAKING A MIGHTY SWIPE, Sherron Boddie slices a hit for the Panthers during their season opener against the Luray Bulldogs. The Panthers overcame a 10-run deficit to beat the Bulldogs, 25-24. Donna Foster (third), Dawn Johnson (shortstop), and Deena Hitt (leftfield) — dug in their heels and stifled the Bulldog attack. With the momentum shifted to the hosts, fans looked to the sky wondering if the weather would cut the rally short. Even Coach Leake cast apprehensive eyes at the black clouds forming overhead. With her players now “looking like they knew what they were doing,” the coach said she knew at this point that if the rain held, the game belonged to the Panthers. Behind doubles by Jody Botkin and Amy Nokes in the sixth, Rappahannock pulled to within 18-22. Two careless errors by the RCHS defense allowed the gap to widen in the final inning, 24-18. As the Panthers prepared for their last at-bat, the clouds thinned. The bright sky proved an omen for RCHS: Deena Hitt and Donna Foster both drew' walks, and then the team mixed walks and singles to pull closer. With runners on second and third, Jennifer Wines laced the ball down the left field line, scoring Fincham for the tying run. Beth Conover, who broke her thumb stealing second, came in for the victory on Deena Hitt’s single. (Rappahannock could be without Conover until late in the season. Beth had surgery on the thumb on April 4.) After the game a delighted Renee Leake crowed, “This is why I love coaching! These girls never give up. When we were down 18-8, it looked bad, but they hung in there and pulled it out.” Coach Leake then ran for cover because the rain that waited for the Panthers’ win wouldn’t wait any longer. Rappahannock drew 30 walks from the errant Bulldog pitchers, “but we got the hits when we needed them,” Leake added. The Lady Panthers next hottte game is April 7 at the elementary school field against George Mason. Panther sports schedule Spring sports are in full swing at Rappahannock County High School.

Rappahannock’s junior first baseman got the bat on March 28 and before it was 24 hours old, he used it for two home runs, four RBI’s, and was three-for-three for the day. Daczewitz’s hitting heroics paved the way for the Panther’s season-opening victory against the Strasburg Rams, 7-4. Coach Gary , Leake was a happy man following the Bull Run District opener. “Overall, to be our first game after only a few outside practices, on the road against one of the top teams in the district, this is an outstanding victory for us,” Coach Leake said afterward. Daczewitz’s first homer came in the opening inning. With two outs Rams pitcher Danny Albert walked Doug Smith. Next up, Daczewitz batting in the cleanup spot blasted RCHS to a 2-0 lead with a shot over the left centerfield fence. A shaken Albert walked the next Panther batter, Anthony Porter, and then was touched by Danny Ellis for a double. Porter scored on a poor throw to the infield and at the end of one inning Rappahannock lead 3-0. The Rams evened the score in the fourth at three apiece. In the fifth, Albert put Julian Groves on base with a walk. The speedy short stop showed his gratitude by stealing second. One out later, up stepped Rappahannock’s powerful first baseman. The Rams brought in their reliever, Mark Roller, who tried to sneak a fast ball by Daczewitz. The result was a towering home run and a lead the Panthers never relinquished. “Philip’s hits gave us the runs we needed but the game was won by our defense,” said Panther second baseman Anthony Porter. Coach Leake agreed, adding “We probably could have hit the ball better as a team but we showed a lot of discipline at the plate. We drew ten walks which are as good as singles. At the beginning of the season, players tend to be over aggressive at the plate. You don’t expect the kind of discipline we had today until mid-season.” The coach also credited his de tense for ensuring the victory. “Last year we didn’t have confidence in our defense, but we’ve worked hard on it this year and only making two errors in a game this early is satisfying.” Key defensive performers for the Panthers were Wesley Jenkins, who had a fine game catching, centerfielder John Brown, and third baseman Danny Ellis. Ellis was outstanding in the “hotbox,” allowing nothing to get by him including a key grab in the seventh inning. With no outs and a runner on first Roller smashed the ball down the line, but a horizontal Ellis prevented what could have been a Ram run and held the runners to first and second. Winning pitcher Doug Smith struck out the next batter. The next Strasburg hitter, Jeff Holsinger, flew out to John Brown but the runner on third tagged up and scored. When Roller tried to advance from second to third Brown gunned him down for the final out of the game. Coach Leake was also pleased with the pitching from Smith. “Doug went all seven innings which is a very good sign. He’s a big, strong kid and has the potential to be the best pitcher in the district. The key to his win was that he mixed his pitches, especially in the late innings.” Smith struck out six Rams including the first two he faced. He allowed 11 hits but walked only three Rappahannock’s next game is April 4 at Page County. “It should be tough. They have a good team and have always taken their baseball seriously,” said Coach Leake. The Panthers first home contest is Friday, April 7 against George Mason. “That should be a real interesting game, because we’ll be playing without our seniors who are going on the Senior Trip. So in a sense it will be three returning players and a jayvee squad against their varsity. Julian Groves will be on the mound and if he has control we should be okay,” Coach Leake said.

Suit Continued from page 1 pared the jail’s food, she said, she had never had a written complaint about the meals she served. One time, Mrs. Cebula said, a hair had been found in a meal, but she testified that when the meal was returned she thought it looked like a beard hair which had been put into the food after it left her kitchen. She said the contract called for three meals a day for each prisoner, 365 days a year. Each prisoner got a full breakfast, including juice, Mrs. Cebula said. Lunch was usually soup, a salad and sandwich, and dinner was 5-6 ounces of meat —usually the restaurant’s daily special —a vegetable, bread and dessert. , “I did all the cooking,” she said, of more than 35,000 meals served to the inmates over that 4 1/2 year •time. The food, Mrs. Cebula testified, was picked up by sheriffs deputies or jailers after they were packed in styrofoam containers designed to keep them warm for 20 minutes. They were often late picking up the meals, she said, perhaps 10 of 21 times each week. “Some had pickup trucks,” she said, “and about half the time they put the meals in the back of the truck.” Even, she told her attorney, in subfreezing weather and when it was raining outside. During the 4 1/2 years and 35,257 meals, she told the jury, she never had a written complaint from the sheriff about the food. Robert O’Neill, Mrs. Cebula’s attorney, asked what the effect of Sheriff Woodw ard’s comments was. The restaurant’s business, she replied, fell off by more than half, She stayed open for about two months following the meeting, which was reported in the Rappahannock News, but w’as forced to close when she could not even pay her utility bills. She still fed the jail’s prisoners, she added, up until the time she sold the restaurant last fall. The new owmer. Bill Frizzell, is maintaining the contract until the jail kitchen is completed. Her personal reaction to the sheriffs comments, she added, was “hurt. It didn’t even make me mad,” Mrs. Cebula told the jury. “I just cried — it just upset me so.” Before the comments, she said, “I was always jolly, always joked with people." The last year, “has been the worst year of my life ... I never known more than two hours sleep” a night since it happened, she said. Sheriff Woodward was represented by attorney Roger Wiley of Charlottesville. As an elected constitutional officer, state law provides that the sheriff be represented by an attorney appointed by the Virginia Attorney General’s office. He drew an admission from Mrs. Cebula that her restaurant had been for sale for some time prior to Sheriff Woodward’s comments. “No,” she said in response to another question, she had not sought a doctor’s care for the physical and emotional problems she has suffered since the incident. Rappahannock attorney Doug Baumgardner testified in Mrs. Cebula’s behalf that he had eaten at the restaurant frequently. “I thought the food was just fine.” He said that he had represented clients who were inmates at the jail, and though he heard several complaints about the greasy food served there, he had never found his food greasy when he ate there. Wallace T. Graham, the health department’s inspector, testified that Mrs. Cebula had never been cited for major violations of health codes. “She met the minimum standards to operate.” Mr. Frizzell, who bought the restaurant from Mrs. Cebula last October, said he was a frequent customer before it closed. “Good, solid country cooking,” he called it. He said that he worked with Mrs. Cebula for some time learning the skills of preparing the jail food, and never heard a complaint. After the sale, he said, he had done some cleaning and renovation, but mostly because he intends to offer a different atmosphere than Mrs. Cebula when he reopens later this spring. Testifying in support of Sheriff Woodward, jailer Mitch Hitt told of the day books he kept where complaints are recorded. There were nu merous complaints on file about the food, he said. Lavinia Johnson, one of the Department of Corrections officials referred to by Sheriff Woodward in his comments to the board, testified that she ate at the Hampton Inn when she inspected the jail facilities. She did, she told the jury, start feeling bad on the trip back to Richmond. And, Ms. Johnson added, she was aware of problems with the jail’s food through conversations she had with Sheriff Woodward. The sheriff told the jury that he had made his presentation to the Board of Supervisors “to let them know about the problem. They have the contract, and I wanted to let them know so they could decide what should be done." But, Sheriff Woodward added, "I did not intend to cause Mrs. Cebula's business harm or to put her out of business.” The county’s supervisors, he emphasized, “needed to know about problems with the contract” before it came up for its annual renewal in April, 1988. The contract was continued at that time with no objections from either party. In arguments to the jury, Mr. O’Neill concentrated on the issue of malice, which is necessary to win damages in a slander suit against a public official. "The sheriff wants a kitchen . . . the sheriff knew what he was doing — he had to put Millie out of business if he was to get a kitchen. “And he did,” Mr. O’Neill said. "He put this hard working woman, who ran a restaurant for 24 years, out of business.” Telling the jury that Sheriff Woodward had “abused” his power, Mr. O'Neill asked them to award Mrs. Cebula $100,000 in damages as punishment. "That’ll make the headlines. That’ll show people that Millie was not a bad cook —that Millie was not a dirty person. That’s what these charges were — that she ran a dirty kitchen." Mr. Wiley, however, told the jury in his closing arguments that Mrs. Cebula’s suit had not met its burden of proof. There is no clear and convincing evidence, he said, that Sheriff Woodward had made the statements with knowledge they were false and with a malicious in tent to hurt Mrs. Cebula. "At her best, there is some dispute. The evidence, I think, shows it is true that the inmates complained." To the question of damages being awarded for Mrs. Cebula's loss, Mr. Wiley told the jury, “There is no solid proof in the record of damages. All we have is her say-so that she was forced out of business by these charges. “By her own admission,” he reminded the jury, “she had the business up for sale for months before the sheriff made those statements . . . there is no evidence that it was really sold for a loss. It was on the market for $150,tXX), and sold for $110,000. In fact there is nothing in the record to show (the property) was worth $150,000 other than that was what she was asking. Many people sell property and ask as their initial price far more than they expect to get.” Addressing Mr. O’Neill’s contention that Sheriff Woodward’s comments were made with malice toward Mrs. Cebula by his comments to the board. “They asked him questions, and he gave frank and. honest answers — that the food service contract was part of the problem. That is no reason that he should be held liable.” A finding of malice, Mr. Wiley told the jury, would require the jurors to conclude that the sheriff acted with “hatred, ill will or a desire to hurt” Mrs. Cebula. “There is not a shred of evidence to indicate Sheriff Woodward had any of those feelings or wanted to hurt Mrs. Cebula. “There is absolutely no evidence," he contended, “that the comments were made to get at Mrs. Cebula, or to put her out of business. On the contrary, it was not necessary to put her out of business to build the kitchen. The board was free to make that decision regardless of whether she was in business or not. He had no reason —nothing against her — he had in fact eaten in the restaurant.” Apparently agreeing with Mr. Wiley’s interpretation of the evidence presented, the jury found Sheriff Woodward innocent of the slander charge leveled by Mrs. Cebula. Lunch honors volunteers Rappahannock’s Retired Senior Volunteers will be honored with a luncheon at the Washington Fire Department on Friday, April 14. These* volunteers have put in thousands of hours of volunteer service in Rappahannock, driving clients to appointments with doctors and counselors; tutoring adults in reading skills; counseling and providing companionship for the sick and dying; assisting at the library; helping youngsters with speech problems; and just being old fash loned “good neighbors” to those in need in Rappahannock County, according to volunteer coordinator Jeanie McNear. The luncheon, planned to thank the volunteers for their 500 hours of service each month of the past year, will have as its theme “Hats off to Volunteers,” to recognize the many roles played by retired volunteers in the community. Volunteers will be wearing their favorite hats, and they’ll be entertained by a magician after lunch. SPRING'’v FEVER! BUTLER $9,999 F.O.B.

It mentions three churches, ami I know for a fact there are four, and there is no mention of Viewtown . . . What have you done to Viewtown?” County Administrator John McCarthy said that there were other communities not mentioned as villages and designated for growth. All the listed villages are served by primary roads, he said. “As far as I am concerned, it is lacking in detail,” Mrs. Clark said. When no one else in the audience indicated a desire to speak, Chairman Hubert Gilkey closed the public hearing and asked for comments from the supervisors. “All these people that say what a good plan this is, I can’t believe we’ve read the same document,” Col. Bingham said. “I was prepared tonight to try to table this document, but I know that would be an exercise in futility like trying to stack ping pong balls in a wind tunnel, so I’m going to go to every page.” In a rambling discourse that went on for the next hour and fifteen minutes he did, skipping only a few pages. He criticized the fact that the maps included in the document use a typographical style of all lower case letters and thus the names of the villages and rivers aren't capitalized. He criticized the data for being out of date. He criticized the fact that the plan says the county has a “sizeable agricultural base. That's incorrect,” Col. Bingham said. “Real estate is first, retail trade second, and agriculture third.” He noted that most of the land in the county is shown in the plan to be “unsuited for agriculture." “That is the mountainsides, and most of that land is in the park,” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said. Noting that the plan shows the percentage of people in the county between the ages of 60 and 85 had grown 18 percent between 1970 and 1980, Col. Bingham said, “There should be something in the goals to take care of these people." He said that the woman who donated the ball fields to the Amissville Ruritans had had to move out of the county when she needed to move to a nursing home. “Are you saying that the county should build a nursing home?” Mr. McCarthy asked. “We should allow for them, so we’d encourage someone to build one," Col. Bingham replied. "We do allow for them," Mr. McCarthy answered. Col. Bingham said, “There is no way agriculture can stay the predominmant base of this county. This is what the planners need to take into consideration . . . We have to define what is a farm, what is a country estate, what is a rural residence, and what is investment property.” He said that the plan showed that the value of agricultural products was 33.36 cents per acre. Next he mentioned facilities in Amissville not included in the plan such as the ball fields, flooring store, bed and breakfast, and log homes dealer. “The gentleman who represents Jackson (David Fannon) has been on the board, this is his 11th year. If I had the authority I’d fire him tonight. I don’t have the authority, so I’m asking for his resignation. He shows a total lack of respect and disregard for the people of Jackson District.” Col. Bingham added the plan did not have any discussion of the facts shown in the data. “It is really not a plan at all,” he said. Moving on to the goals, principles and policies portion of the document, he said that the goals weren’t specific enough. He next read from the first principle, “To encourage agricultural operations and ensure the preservation of the productivity, availability, and use of agricultural lands for the continued production of crops and livestock.” “What they’re telling us here is to reinforce failure ... If you reinforce failure, you’re going to make casualties of everyone in the county . . . The agricultural economy is dwindling . . . what we’re doing is driving it that way . . . Some of the very things that we’re doing that we may think is saving this county is driving it into the hands of investors . . . "Because of our low tax rate and because of the land use techniques that we’re following, this makes it very appetizing for investors to come in the buy up giant tracts of land . . . We’re not only denying the county the tax base on that land, but it’s driving all the other little parcels of land sky high ... We have not done anything to better the population’s life, which is the sole purpose of this plan,” he concluded. “I take exception to some of the things you’ve said about the Planning Commission, and I take exception to what you’ve said about the people on the Planning Commission," Mr. Gilkey told Col. Bingham. Mr. Massie said, “About what you said, that David Fannon should resign and that would make some people happy, why don’t you resign and make everybody happy? The only thing Col. Bingham had suggested that I agree with is to include the baseball field in the information about Amissville.” Mr. Massie moved to adopt the plan including the baseball field. Robert Anderson, who was sworn in l Monday to represent StonewallHawthorn District, seconded the motion, and the plan was approved by a 4-1 vote, with Col. Bingham dissenting.

Budget Continued from page 1 traffic, and many times personnel are unable to communicate. Most of the rest of the increase is for upgraded insurance on the buildings and equipment. The Board of Supervisors scheduled work sessions on the budget for Thursday evenings starting at 7:30 for April 13, 20, and 27, that last budget work session would also be for a public hearing on the school budget. Monday’s meeting started with School Superintendant David Gangel presenting copies of the school budget to the supervisors and explaining that they included two forms of the budget. The bulk of the budget appears using the current categories and line items, he said, but the document also includes all the expenditures using a new system with 18-digit numbers. For this year, he explained, the supervisors can choose to adopt the budget using either system. Next year the county will have to use the new system. New Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson asked Dr. Gangel if he thought the new system would make it easier to keep up with expenses. “In large school divisions it might give more control over the budget,” Dr. Gangel replied. “I don’t see it helping us all that much, but I think I can get used to it.” “Strangely enough, this jibes pretty well with the county’s system,” Mr. McCarthy commented. Next the meeting was opened for comments from the public. Col. E. P. Luke said, “You all are going to have to get a rostrum up here for me.” He supported using the services of a part-time planner. “The reason I’m concerned about having some help is it took nine years to go from the first comprehensive plan to this one you’re considering tonight.” Noting that former supervisor Nelson Lane had said the county couldn’t get much of a planner for its share or a $21,000 salary. Col. Luke said that beginning planners are hired for such salaries frequently. “You don’t want a real experienced planner. You don’t want somebody to come in here with a lot of notions he got from some other place. “A part-time planner would “help protect the county’s fiscal capabilities. You don’t have any database you can get your hands on. The information’s here, but you can’t get it in reasonable time. You’ve got to have some numbers when it . comes to the time you get sued,” Col. Luke said. He said w hen the Tow n of Washington wanted to apply for a Community Development Block Grant to help pay for improvements for the town’s water system the town couldn’t fill in the page telling how many low to moderate income residents would benefit from the improvements. “I can go down and make a good case for the Town of Washington, but I’ve got to have some numbers," he concluded. Frank Reynolds said he wanted to give the supervisors his “personal opinion” on conditional zoning and the proffer system, two powers granted to the county by this year’s General Assembly. “It sounds like a great thing, but I ask you to either ignore the power or apply it very carefully.” “Here’s what can happen,” Mr. Reynolds said. “A developer or a group of people could buy 1,000 acres between Amissville and Ben Venue and file an application for rezoning to R-2.” Then the developer might offer the fire department and the rescue squad each $100,000, and he might offer to give 10 acres for a community park. “He would say this is in the public interest,” Mr. Reynolds told the board. “There’s money for the fire and rescue squads and a park, and it will give lots of jobs while the houses are being built, and all I want is R-2 zoning. This would sound like a good Open House Sunday, April 9 12 Noon-4 P.M. Broad Run Almost New 3 BR Rambler on full acre lot with stream. $141,000. 29 N.

Vernon Realty 703-347-2000 idea, and this place (the courtroom) would be filled up with people who whnt to help the dire department and rescue squad and want the jobs. You already know that housing doesn't pay for itself,” he said. He estimated that the houses would require more than twice as much in taxpayer provided services as they would pay in taxes. “My personal advice,” he said, “is to push for impact fees legislation for more than roads. Don’t be seduced by the proffer legislation.” Next William Senkewitz said he wanted to comment on the school budget. He asked if the school system had considered charging a fee for student and teacher parking. “I don’t mind paying for good education, but I’ve heard a lot about public education here, and plainly it stinks.” Col. Ellis Bingham of Jackson District said, “Five or six years ago you were correct, but from what I've seen we're coming up rapidly.” “I take offense at what he says concerning our school system. I think it’s way out of line." said Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie. Following public comments the supervisors moved to old business. They heard that a proposed cable TV ordinance is not ready. Mr. McCarthy said other companies had approached him about providing service. “It’s a very complicated issue," Mr. McCarthy said. “More complicated than I thought it would be. I’m warning you to be prepared for more public comment and con cern. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said there would be policy issued which the board would have to decide, and the county might need to get outside advice on the technical aspects of the issue. “If they want to come in here, make them put it in for everyone," Col. Bingham said. The board then moved on to capital improvements programming. Mr. McCarthy said he wanted to do an area study of the potential commercial zone and wanted to hire consultants rather than making use of a part-time planner shared with other jurisdictions in Planning District Nine. "The Capital Improvements Plan, the area plan and the Comprehensive Plan all come together with conditional zoning. We can’t use proffer power until we have a CIP," he said. "If the general commercial area on 211 never develops, fine, but if it does I want to be able to say here’s what you have to pay so the rest of us don’t have to pay for your profit,” Mr. McCarthy said.

A.R. #551 Office (703)825-4554 B| AilOt m Council's agenda The Washington Town Council will hold its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, April 12 at 8 p.m. at the courthouse. The following items are set for the council’s consideration, although a “supermajority” of five affirmative votes will allow additional items to be placed on the agenda at the meeting. Public hearings • Smoke detector ordinance: To require smoke detectors in all hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and other lodging houses, as well as apartment buildings. Single family dwellings and duplex homes are exempt. • Architectural Review Board: An ordinance to expand the ARB from its current membership of three to five. Old business • Reports: Water authority, general accounts, planning com mission, water project grant update. • Council vacancy: Additional nominations to fill the vacant seat on the council will be accepted until the close of the meeting. The council will appoint a member at its May meeting. iVetr business • Unlicensed motor vehicles in town. • Discussion of joint public hearing with Board of Supervisors on sale of library and town hall. Public forum An opportunity for members of the community to address the council on matters, of concern. They may include matters discussed during the council meeting, but are not limited to those topics. Any topic of general public interest is open to discussion during this period. The supervisors next looked at the completed plans for the jail addition. The plans call for two 10-foot by seven-foot cells and one much smaller drunk tank on the lowest level, office space on the second level and the kitchen on the third floor. The estimated cost is $150,000. Half will be reimbursed by the state, but not until July 1990, the supervisors learned. The motion by Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes to approve the plans and submit them to Richmond passed unanimously. Next the supervisors took up the issue of whether to make an adjustment to the line that separates the town from the county. The matter was put on the agenda because Claybert Smoot says before the line was drawn through his property, he had enough land to subdivide a lot for his son to build on, but with the new line, he doesn’t have enough land in either the town or county for a sepa rate Duiicnng lot. Mr. Massie was authorized to approach the town council to see if they would be interested in changing the boundaries, not just for Mr. Smoot’s land, but also for other parcels that might be divided by the line. Next the upervisors considered a request from some property owners in Chester Gap that they be allowed to establish a sanitary district to collect taxes to improve the roads in the subdivision. Mr. Luke told the supervisors that the code allows a sanitary district to be established. A certain number of signatures are required and then the residents can petition the circuit court to create such a district. But, he said, the county would have to administer it, and it has broad powers to tax. borrow, main J tain streets, put in water and sewer lines and to condemn land. “It’s a big thing," he said. The supervisors asked Mr. Luke to continue his research into the subject. In other action, the Board of Supervisors: • voted to advertise a public hearing to consider abandoning a portion of old Route 211 that runs in front of Mr. Massie’s house. • gave tne scnooi Board autnonty to order two new diesel school buses. If the School-Board signs purchase orders before the end of the month, it can get the buses for $27,500. After that the price will go up. • approved a change in the charter of the Criminal Justice Academy to allow it to borrow money for a new building. The Sheriffs Department personnel get their training at this academy. • approved a “Bingo” permit for the Amissville Fire Department. • passed a resolution of appreciation for Nelson Lane for his service on the Board of Supervisors and the School Board.

RAPPAHANNOCK SPOKEN HERE: ROGER BATCHELDER, Earthman Gay St., Washington, Va 22747 J* ^ 703-675-3777 , Res: 703-937-4388 C3TAT* Mock Continued from page 1 “It seemed to be meant to be," she said of her appointment to the position. “It all just fell into place.” Ms. Mock was the project coordinator and a vocational counselor working with high school dropouts in Madisonville, Kentucky. She’d been working in Madisonville for 14 months, and before that spent six years as the federal Job Training Partnership Act coordinator in Kentucky’s Probation and Parole office. Ms. Mock said she had begun thinking about getting back to community mental health practice. That’s where her career in counseling began, as a counselor in a community mental health center in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. She followed that with several years working with the elderly through Project Independence, which assists senior citizens in living on their own. Ms. Mock said she saw several advertisements placed by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center in the Louisville Courier-Journal, and was immediately drawn to the one which ended, “. . . nestled at the foot of the mountains near Shenandoah National Park.” She wrote and requested an application, and described herself as, “amazed” to get not only the application but later a request for an inter view. “I’d never gone 700 miles for a job interview in my life!” she recalled. But when she got to Rappahannock, she found a community which reminded her a lot of the one she left behind in Princeton, Kentucky. “It is very similar . . . there are a lot of people who are proud that they have lived here for two, three and four generations.” For Ms. Mock, directing a small two-therapist office will be a challenge she is eager to meet. “We do a little bit of everything,” she said, with plenty of patient counseling along with the administrative duties of the director. She joins therapist Gary Rafala, who came to Rappahannock County a year ago. “It’s an added boost here,” Ms. Mock said, "having a female therapist. It’s ideal having both male and female therapists available, since some people feel more comfortable with one or the other.” And having her close at hand in Rappahannock will augment the Community Services Center’s new women’s substance abuse specialist, who will work out of CSC’s Culpeper headquarters. “That is a big push right now,” Ms. Mock explained, “to identify and provide services for women with substance abuse problems.” In rural counties, like cities, women who abuse alcohol, tranquilizers and other drugs can more easily hide their addictions because they are at home, not subjected to the outside pressures faced by many male substance abusers. And, for many families, the thought of admitting that Mom has a drinking or drug problem is impossible to face. “Historically,” she said, "it is a problem which has not been addressed. Though Ms. Mock admitted that she is still trying, “to learn the system — each state has its own set of rules and regulations,” she explained, she’s eager to move FGS forward. “Right now, community education will be our main focus . . . I hope to expand our services. I would like to have preventative education classes in the schools, and in the community in general.” Ms. Mock admitted that the move caused some consternation, mainly with her two daughters. Her older, Lisa, is a teacher in western Kentucky, and the younger, Julie, is still in college. “They were upset with me moving 700 miles away. They moved me here, and stayed three or four days, and when they left it was like my mother leaving.” And for Ms. Mock, she’ll miss her community volunteer work — and cheering for the Princeton high school girls’ basketball team., She hadn’t missed a game in years until she moved to Rappahannock during the winter season. Told that here girls basketball is a fall sport, followed by volleyball in the winter, she replied, “In Kentucky, nobody’s heard of volleyball!” But they are wild about basketball. Though she is a native of Kentucky, Ms. Mock spent her childhood in Florida, where she earned a bachelor’s degree from Flagler College in St. Augustine. Later she returned to raise her family in Kentucky, explaining, “I wanted the girls to go to school in a small community.” Ms. Mock earned her Master’s degree in counseling from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky, in 1974. Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock is affiliated udth Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Sendees Center, which serves the five counties of Planning District 9.
