Guest announces intention to seek 31 st District seat By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News StafTWriler In a reversal of the decision announced when he declared his candidacy for the governorship, 31st District Delegate Raymond R. “Andy" Guest Jr. announced Monday that he will seek re-election to his seat. Del. Guest’s turnaround follows his announcement on March 30 that he was dropping out of the four-way race for the Republican nomination for governor. He cited a late start and inadequate campaign funding as the reasons for his poor showing in the race, where he consistently trailed former Sen. Paul S. Trible, former Va. Attorney General J. Marshall Coleman and bth District Congressman Stan Parris. Last week, two of the Republican contenders for Mr. Guest’s seat, Robert J. Traister and Malcolm Trevor, announced they were quitting that race. Both alluded to the incumbent’s expected announcement that he would attempt a return to the House, where he has represented the 31st District since 1971. A third candidate, Ronald S. Gilliam, chairman of the Warren County Republican Committee, announced Monday that he is still in the race, but said he plans to meet with his committee later this week. He said that he will make a decision on whether to continue his candidacy after the Board of Elections makes a determination whether or not Del. Guest has filed the required petitions to have his name placed on the ballot. "My advisory committee has agreed with my decision,” Mr. Gilliam said, “and will continue to assist me in re-evaluating my candidacy in the light of the events that we anticipate will take place.” Two Democrats, Barbara Greco of Warren County and David Crump of Flint Hill, are seeking their party’s nomination to the seat. The filing deadline is Friday, April 14, when at least 250 valid signatures of registered voters in the district must be filed with the election board. Mr. Guest has asked the district’s Republican leadership to circulate petitions on his behalf, and said he expects, “pretty good support.” See GUEST, p. 18 0 £ v" ' Meadowsplan tabled Alternate design will be submitted By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After listening for more than an hour to testimony both for and against the addition of a wing to the historic Meadows home in Washington, the town’s Architectural Review Board tabled the application pending the submission of a revised plan. The project’s architect, Julian Kulski of Orlean, told the board during its special meeting April 4 that he designed the new wing of the building, “to detract least from the architectural quality of the present building - and possibly to enhance it." The Meadows, located on the west side of Main Street across from its intersection with Mt. Salem Ave,, is one of the oldest buildings in the town. It was originally constructed as a two-room log cabin before the Revolutionary War, and likely was seen by George Washington when he surveyed the town in 1749. Later, a second floor was added and after that a large, Greek Revival wing was constructed to the south of the original structure. When built the two parts shared no common doorways, however they are now connected. Mr. Kulski told the ARB members that the interior of the house as it now stands is, “helterskelter,” with a large basement but no kitchen, and bedrooms stuck into existing rooms. The house has no real living room, substituting instead a 19th Century type parlor. The arrangement, he said, “compro mises the architectural integrity of the entire structure.” The addition, which Mr. Kulski proposed to place on the south side of the house, would be a large kitchen and dining room on the first floor, with bedrooms upstairs. It would comprise, he said, approximately one-quarter of the area now included in the present structure. Speaking to the present building, Mr. Kulski told the board that he planned to move its asymmetrical doorway to the center of what would become the center portion of the house, and remove the stairs leading up to the doorway by excavating a new entrance at ground level. He said the present arrangement of two windows in the front with the doorway offset to the north side, “is inconsistent with 19th Century architecture ... If the door is moved to the center (of the structure, with a wing on each side), then the entire structure becomes symmetrical.” Mr. Kulski said that the materials he planned to use for the addition area exactly like the ones already used in the existing house, as are the colors he plans for the exterior. “This is an extremely important landmark, both in Washington, Virginia and nationally, and I wanted the inherent character of the building preserved, and if possible, enhanced.” Richard Barton, brother of Edward Barton, the retired Texas oil executive who bought the property, explained on his brother’s behalf that the addition was being planned See MEADOWS, p. 18 Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE PROPOSED ADDITION TO The Meadows was to be added on to the left side of the house, as seen in this photo. A second plan, with the addition to the rear of the existing structure, will reportedly be presented to the ARB on Thursday, April 13. Heavy turnout predicted for Fodderstack 10K race By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Fodderstaek 10K Road Race will begin its second decade Saturday, with a large field and good weather predicted by the organizers. Run along the picturesque Fodderstack Road, the old stagecoach route between Flint Hill and Washington, the race has become a favorite for locals and out-oftown runners alike. The Runner magazine named it as one of the best road races in America. One veteran racer called it, “the hardest road race course I’ve ever run.” Though Tom Lee’s hill, at the four mile mark, gets all the notariety, anyone who has run the course knows that the hills coming into Washington are almost as difficult, coming as they do when energy supplies are almost exhausted. So far, about 130 runners are pre-registered for the trek, according to organizer Betsy Murray. But it’s not unusual for many to wait until the day of the race, she said, since Rappahannock’s April weather is so unpredictable. As usual, the apple orchards are in bloom, and should provide spectacular scenery for any competitors who take the time to enjoy their surroundings. This year, the extended forecast is for variably cloudy weather Saturday and high temperatures near 60 degrees. That would be a bit warm for the runners’ comfort, but its unlikely the mercury would rise that high before the race’s 10 a.m. start. Past years have brought extremes of weather to this Rappahannock rite of spring, from bone-numbing wind and cold to a stifling 90-degree day in 1985. heat proved no obstacle to one run Rappahannock News file photos WILL THEY REPEAT? Last year’s Eva L. Smith Memorial winners, Frank Reynolds and Nina Stamer, will defend their titles as Rappahannock’s fastest. Mr. Reynolds is seeking ninth straight title, Mrs. Stamer her second. ner. however. Steve Pinard set the course record for men that year, 31:26, which has not been challenged since. Mr. Pinard, in fact, owns the two fastest times for the hilly, 6.2 mile course. He won in 1984 with a time of 32:20. He has not returned since 1985, however. and that year a new dynasty began. Tim Kearney, a veteran marathoner from Culpeper, has taken the last three overall trophies, and is- expected to defend his title again this year. On the women’s side, the course record was set by Kim Belyea df Winchester in 1984 with a time of 36:46. She won again in 1985, but didn’t run in 1986. That year, the women’s overall title was taken by Christine Beathard, the wife of Washington Redskins General Manager Bobby Beathard, who is also a regular Fodderstack competitor. Her time, however, w as well off Ms. Belyea’s mark. Ms. Belyea returned in 1987 and won the title for a third time but failed to better her course record. Last year the women’s title went to Ruth Reimenschneider in the time of 38:39. If the bourse record for either sex is broken, however, there will be a $200 cash award to the successful runner. Sponsored by Virginia Savings Bank of Front Royal, the bonus is up from the $100 offered last year. If both male and female records fall, the $200 will be split between the two runners. There will, of course, be at least one other perennial favorite in the race -Frank Reynolds. He’ll be aiming for his ninth straight Eva L. Smith Memorial, the troSee FODDERSTACK, p. 18

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter TROOPER SEAN M. KNICK County gains 4th trooper In a move designed to increase law enforcement’s presence in Rappahannock County, the Virginia State Police have added a fourth trooper to the county’s three-man contingent. Sean Michael Knick, 22, was assigned to Rappahannock County after his graduation from Basic School at the State Police Academy. A native of Rockbridge County, Trooper Knick was graduated from Lexington High School in 1984 and attended Ferrum College. He worked for the Virginia Department of Corrections before he decided to join the Virginia State Police. “I’ve always been into law enforcement,” Trooper Knick said. “I got into the Department of Corrections, and after I had seen that side of law enforcement I decided I wanted to see the other side.” Trooper Knick is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne B. Knick, who live in Rockbridge County. Stamer speaks on recycling iNina stamer, Kappahannock s •recycling and litter coordinator, will be one of three speakers at a recycling forum in Greenbelt, Maryland on May 16. Mrs. Stamer has organized the county's recycling effort and the community recycling days held each pionth last fall. She was also in charge of the annual County Beautification Day, held on April 1. , She will be one of three panelists at the symposium, which will discuss issues and strategies for recycling and community involvement in the effort. Her remarks will come from Jht experience in integrating the efforts of a rural county toward both litter control and recycling. Mrs. Stamer said that the symposium will include representatives from government and private industry. Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer will be the evening speaker. County Administrator John McCarthy, who hired Mrs. Stamer to the part-time post of litter coordinator, said she has contributed more to the county's effort than he could have imagined. “She has given a heck of a lot more than I had expected — for which 1 am very, very grateful. About 95 percent of the county’s success with recycling has been due to her efforts. “This is a real feather in her cap," Mr. McCarthy added, “and a richly deserved reward for all the good work she has done during the past two years. She has been a more than willing worker — and she has always been willing to go beyond what has been asked of her. I offer her my congratulations.” Society sets May concerts The Culpeper-Piedmont Choral Society, Inc. announced its annual Spring concert will be presented on ‘Friday, May 5, at 8 p.m. at the Orange Presbyterian Church, 162 Main St, and on Friday, May 12, 8 p.m. at the Culpeper United Methodist Church, 1288 Oaklawn Drive.

Main St. Culpeper, Va. 703-825-9456 Hearing set on library The county’s Board of Supervisors and Washington’s Town Council have scheduled a joint public hearing next Tuesday, April 18, to hear comments on the proposed swap of the county library and the town hall. The idea originated when the library’s Board of Trustees announced that it had acquired property just outside Washington to build a new library. The present library, on Gay St. in towrn, belongs to the county and its disposition falls within the authority of the Board of Supervisors. The town, in turn, has retaken possession of the Town Hall, next to the courthouse complex, but has not yet decided how it will be used. The feeling of the council, however, is that the town is in need of some office space for its records, and also possibly for meetings. The county is facing a serious shortage of space in the courthouse complex, and even more offices will be needed if the Building and Zoning Office leaves the Baumgardner building, as Mr. Baumgardner has requested due to the expansion of his law office. County Administrator John McCarthy has also told the supervisors that the county’s judges have requested a second courtroom to handle the increasing number of cases being heard in the county. However, the county is lim ited in its options for expansion, since the town’s ordinances limit government offices to the Village Services district, which surrounds the courthouse complex. The effect of this ordinance is to prohibit the county from converting the present library into offices when the library moves. The solution proposed jointly by the town and county is a swap of the two buildings, plus a cash settlement yet to be determined. Negotiations have been conducted privately by representatives of the county’s board and the council, under a provision of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act which covers the acquisition or disposal of publicly held property. The privacy exemption is designed to prevent speculators from making offers which might affect the market price of the property. Now, however, with the negotiations in the final stages, both bodies want to hear from the county’s residents about the proposed transfer. Both Mr. McCarthy and Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said this week that no further action will be taken by either body until after the public hearing. “We want to hear what the public thinks about this proposal,” Mr. McCarthy said. The hearing will be held at the courthouse, beginning at 7:30 p.m. All county and town residents are invited to attend and offer their comments. McCarthy on waste board Rappahannock’s County Administrater, John McCarthy,' has accepted membership on the Technical Advisory Committee for the Virginia Department of Waste Management. The 15-member committee will prepare regulations for the development of waste management plans by local governments or regional planning districts. After July 1, 1992, a locality will not be able to get a permit for a landfill without having a plan approved by the Waste Management Board. Rappahannock is “well-positioned” right now with a new landfill which is not filling up as fast as some feared, Mr. McCarthy said, but when the county does have to get approval for using a new area, it will have to meet the new regulations. The.plans will have to show that "consideration has been given to the handling of all types of nonhazardous solid waste generated in the region or locality,” according to the new law, and the “regulations shall include all aspects of solid waste man Calorie Control Classes APRIL SPECIAL “Refund for Pounds Lost” REGISTRATION FEE *15°° WEEKLY FEE $5°° With our program we practice til we learn to manage our food so we can maintain a healthy goal weight.

It’s a sweeping plan. The committee will be covering some pretty exciting stuff,” Mr. McCarthy said. Rappahannock will soon be involved with recycling at the landfill. Tentative plans, according to litter coordinator Nina Stamer, are for the recycling center to open on Saturday, May 13. “We’ll start with glass and aluminum, and see how much response we get,” Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s easier to get the volumes of goods for recycling in an urban area.

Anthony Fudd, a senior at Rappahannock County High School, has been accepted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He’s not yet heard from Harvard, where he also applied. His success is an example to everyone that determined people can achieve their goals, despite adversity. For years, Rappahannock’s students have been at a disadvantage when competing against students from other, more affluent areas. We have neither the facilities nor the diversity of instruction offered in many other school districts. But did Anthony Fudd throw up his hands in disp&r, lowering his sights and resigning himself to doing less than his best? No, he did not. He wras determined that he would succeed despite the handicaps, and he did. Nina Stamer, the county’s litter coordinator, is another example of someone unfazed by adversity. Despite a nearly non-existent budget and starting from scratch, she has almost single-handedly built Rappahannock’s recycling program into a model for rural counties. Last fall, an average of more than 100 households turned out each month to recycle their household trash. And as she pointed out, each piece was one less that will end up in the landfill. Next month, the county plans to open its recycling center at the landfill. Again, it is largely due to Mrs. Stamer’s efforts that it will happen. This week, she modestly mentioned that she has been asked to speak at a seminar on recycling in Maryland. Her remarks will be on the subject of a rural county’s approach to recycling and litter control. We’d say her audience will have an expert in the field as their speaker. She has received her education in the real world, dealing with the real problems faced by such a project. “A real feather in her cap,” County Administrator John McCarthy called the invitation. We agree. Mr. McCarthy was likewise recognized for his efforts when the state Department of Waste Management asked him to serve on a panel which will oversee solid waste disposal planning. Again, Mr. McCarthy has made an impression despite the lack of resources available to our small county. Last year he doggedly pursued the permitting of the county’s landfill, responding to seemingly endless requests for information and suddenly unworkable design plans. And he did it without losing his humor, or his cool. These three people embody the best of Rappahannock County, and we offer them all our congratulations on the recognition they have received for their efforts. Perhaps Anthony Fudd summed up their attitudes best when he said, “I’ve always told myself that if you want to do something, it doesn’t matter where you come from. What counts is how you go about doing it.” True words, Mr. Fudd, and ones which we can all learn from.

Letters to the editor 'Networking' key to success To the editor: “Networking” is- when like minded agencies get together to accomplish a single goal or goals. We had a wonderful example of “networking” this past week in the Environmental Awareness Week in the county schools. Spearheaded by the Rappahannock County Garden Club, many environmental activities and displays were made available to our county students. I want to take this opportunity to thank those people and agencies who gave so generously of their time and money. Thanks to the Rappahannock Lion’s Club whose members enthusiatically made plans to plant trees on the grounds of the elementary school, ordered the trees, got the proper permission, and will accomplish their goal sometime this month. The Lion's Club also gave generously toward Ed Clark’s speaking fee, which benefits the Virginia Wildlife Center at Weyer’s Cave. Thanks to the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection who secured the services of Mary Bair to give the science students in both schools, a talk on our precious water supply here in this county. Thanks to the Piedmont Environmental Council for loaning the services of Cynthia Decanio who gave us lots of advice and brought up her personal environmental library of children’s books for use at the elementary school during the week. Thanks to the members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club who designed and produced several pertinent bulletin boards for the schools, provided boxes for the cancelled stamps for the “Save the Eagle” program and gave an excellent class to Betty Wood’s Home Economics Class on “How to be an Environmental Shopper.” Thanks to Nina Stamer of RALLY who produced a wonderful display on litter and litter control in the glass case at the high school. Thanks to Mrs. Waddell's Biology class, which created two bulletin boards for the “commons” room at the high school. Many others helped as well, as did this newspaper with publicity. A job well done! Hopefully, Rappahannock children have a better understanding of how they can help create a better environment for themselves. HELEN HOLSCHUH Chairman Environmental Awareness Week Rappahannock County Garden Club. Community made it happen To the editor: This is just a thank you letter from the Fun Fair committee of Rappahannock Elementary School to the county’s residents to express our appreciation for all of the help above and beyond the call of duty that was given to us to prepare for the third annual Fun Fair at the elementary school. To name everyone would be impossible. The fun fair seems to get bigger and better every year and this could not be accomplished without the aid of so many. A special thanks though, to the Rappahannock News, for its adver tising of the event and the follow up full page feature. To all of the local merchants who helped with advertising, again thanks a bunch and for those of you who would like to jump on the band wagon for the initial planning of the Fun Fair for next year, feel free to get in contact with us at any time and maybe we can get some new and exciting ideas. Again thanks to one and all, we could not have pulled this off without y°U! LINDA MALLORY MARY JANE SWIFT RCES Fun Fair Committee Another successful cleanup To the editor: Rappahannock’s annual county Beautification Day was held on April 1 at the REC Center. During the day, 149 volunteers cleared 737 bags of trash (123 cubic yards of litter) from 69 miles of the county’s roads. An effort was algo made to clean up one illegal dumpsite. RALLY’S aluminum drive to benefit the class of 1990’s trip to Williamsburg netted $72.14 (166 pounds of aluminum). Thank you to all of the volunteers who braved the cold, and to the following businesses for their support: Baldwin’s Grocery, Ben Venue Market, Burke’s Store, Flint Hill Store, Randolph Foster, Giant Food of Warrenton, Hackley’s, Hillsdale Grocery, Inn at Little Washington, Mayhugh’s, Mountainside Market, Old Hollow Grocery, Settle’s Grocery, Sperryville Corner Store, Williams Grocery Store .. . And to the Virginia Department of Transportation for donating garbage bags. Take pride in your county. Put litter in its place. Thank you. NINA STAMER Washington r*1 • With their support To the editor: We would like to express our thanks to the following local businesses for their financial support for the Community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 25 at the Rappahannock Rec. Center: Country Manor Gift Shop and Deli; Baldwins Grocery; A.K. Davis Logging. Because of their help we were able not only to provide the egg hunters with a log of fun and new bikes, but also were able to share with them the real meaning of Easter; that is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We encourage the residents, of this county to support these local businesses. BILL TAYLOR, PASTOR Family Worship Center Volunteers shape character as they build America 10 me euuor: Following President Bush’s inaugural call for “a new engagement in the lives of others, a new activism,” National Volunteer Week 1989 (April 9-15) offers an opportunity for all of us to encourge young Americans to become part of a national movement of youth volunteerism. For just as surely as voluntary community service humanizes a society, it also shapes and strengthens the character of those who serve. The surge of senior citizens volunteering in our ACTION programs (from 296,000 older volunteers in 1980 to 431,000 this year) has taught us that only two things are needed to get people to reach out and pitch in: first, they must be asked; and second, they must be given a meaningful role. The President has asked American youth to come forward, and he has rallied behind the multitude of community organizations, the “thousand points of light” which provide opportunities for muchneeded service in every comer of the nation. Now let us each do our part, as parents and as concerned citizens, to inspire our children and teach them that they are expected to give something back to America as they reap the blessings of liberty. Just as surely as we try to provide the best in education, sports, arts and material advantages, let us encourage our young to make time for those less fortunate than themselves. For few experiences break down barriers and build character more than volunteering. And what of the economically disadvantaged youngsters among us who may be losing hope that the American dream has any reality for them? No matter what their skin color, they are all assuredly our children. By providing opportunities for service, we can teach these youth what Americans who have been down and out and then overcome adversity have always learned: that to succeed, you must nrsi Deneve in yourself and be convinced that you have something of value to offer: It is simple formula, and no panacea, but a first step without which selfesteem and self-sufficiency are impossible to attain. Regardless of family income, growing up in America today is nQ| a carefree or secure experience fj>r millions of our kids. Rising divor :e rates, family alcoholism or drug us 2, domestic violence and the norm al stresses of modern life can eat aw ,y at feelings of self-worth and pi repose. Young people who have b d the chance to assist others faci g hardship can develop a well-spri g of inner strength from which to dn viK when they feel lost or left out. Whether it is compassion gem rated by painting with a disatj td child; patience engendered by tub ring a second-grader; courage < erived from exerting positive p$ jr pressure against drugs or the sei ;e of being needed by a lonely eldej y neighbor, these are in many wj rs the richest gifts we can give t ir kids. They are lifelong gifts and tb *y cost nothing. By encouraging p ir children to serve, we will susts in within future generations w'hat President Bush calls, “the only!; esource we have that in times of nt ;d always grows: the goodness and } ie courage of the American people.”* DONNA M.

Change in Virginia's demographics will be key to changes in its government By WARREN G. STAMBAUGH Rappahannock News Special Writer Blackie Moore’s portrait hangs precariously these days. Moore’s countenance looks sternly down on the Virginia House of Delegates from a spot just to the left of the podium where the autocratic Berryville apple farmer presided with a firm conservative hand as Speaker of the House from 1950 through 1966. Since Moore’s heyday as one of the senior Harry Byrd’s chief lieutenants, the character of Virginia and its legislature has undergone dramatic change. Gun control legislation of any type wouldn’t have seen the light of day in the House that Blackie ruled. In the pay-as-you-go Moore/Byrd jexicon, roads were built only with the gas taxes of those who went on them. Blackie and Harry would have 3»een stunned to see the 1989 Genial Assembly enact legislation $£hich would require an instanta|jeous criminal records check for Anyone purchasing a handgun with a 3b&rrel less than five inches long or a jHfle equipped with a clip holding $»ore than 20 cartridges. Yet, the Jill passed the House of Delegates on a vote of 81-15. The conservative leadership of the 1950’s and 1960’s would have been shocked at the audacity of the concept of local governments using the sacrosanct income tax - heretofore reserved exclusively for state government use - for building roads. But Northern Virginia and Norfolk received permission from the 1989 General Assembly to seek voter approval for this radical departure from the old way of doing things. Guns and taxes might seem far removed from each other, but the two issues are symbolic of the evolution of Virginia’s legislature. Other innovative examples of the activat legislature of the 1980’s abound - from the environment and consumer protection to land use and water resources. There are undoubtedly as many explanations for this recent, uncharacteristic boldness as there are legislators, lobbyists, bureaucrats, reporters and general hangers-on at a legislative session. It is not farfetched to say that the combination of the various interests represented by the General Assembly’s growing entourage is, in itself, responsible for the increase in the number, if not the novelty of new laws. There are, in fact, any number of explanations for the changing character of the General Assembly during the past quarter of a century. One of the most compelling reasons why legislation unthinkable during the reign of Blackie Moore is commonplace today is the increased size of the “urban” contingent in the General Assembly and - the “staying power” of urban delegates and senators. It is significant that members representing the great urban crescent of growth, and development which runs from Arlington through Richmond and the Tidewater constitute a majority in today’s House of Delegates, in the 1960’s the urban areas were still on the verge of their population explosion and legislators from these areas were a minority in Blackie’s carefully controlled House. Not only were they a minority, they had little real power because of constant turnover, in the decade from 1960 through 1970, for example, Arlington County alone was represented in the House by 10 different people - none of them for the entire period. By contrast, in the decade from 1979 through 1989, only four people represented that county - three of them throughout the decade. In a legislative system where longevity can equal clout, gaining and maintaining seniority is one of the surest paths to power. Power can be exercised to attain long sought after goals such as reasonable restrictions on firearms ' and more financial autonomy for local governments. That’s not to say that the virtue of seniority cannot be overrated. Longevity can mean complacency as easily as it can mean productiveness. However, an urban electorate which is concerned about crime and the use of guns for those crimes, an urban electorate which wants better transportation faster than traditional payment plans will permit, and an urban electorate demanding action on environmental hazards is more likely to reward legislative accomplishment. A complacent legislator can easily, become a former legislator. This, in fact, may be the biggest clue to the active - dare it be said - progressive nature of the modern Virginia General Assembly. The people of Virginia do not want it to be easy for criminals to buy guns. They need better roads. They deserve a clean environment and a marketplace fair for both producers and consumers. The majority of legislators from urban Virginia know they represent a dynamic electorate. The Commonwealth’s “new” urban voters are informed and vitally interested in complex issues. They demand that government respond. They turn out in great numbers to cast their ballots for what they want. And what the people want, they usually get. It ain’t like it use to be, Blackie. Warren Stambaugh, an Arlington lawyer, has been a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for 15 years. He is the second ranking member of the powerful House Finance Committee and the leader of the House’s progressive Democratic wing. Federal ruling will cost state money By KEVIN MILLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The veto session held April 5, officially ended the regular 1989 Session of the General Assembly as provided for in the constitution. However, a Supreme Court decision •of March 28, 1989, has caused an immediate budgetary problem. Del. Guest has insurance report , Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr. has received a copy of “A Consumer’s Guide to Insurance,” as well as consumer’s guides for insurance for Senior Citizens, Auto Insurance, Life Insurance and Homeowners’ Insurance. These guides are available for inspection in Delegate Guest’s Legislative Office located at 27 S. Royal Avenue in Front Royal. The Court ruled in favor of a Michigan resident, a federal retiree, who claimed that it was in violation of federal law for a state to tax federal retirement benefits while allowing state retirement benefits to be tax free. This ruling impacts 14 states, including Virginia. In addition to creating a reduction in revenue of approximately $150 million for the fiscal year ending June 1990, this ruling makes it necessary that Virginia adjust its tax laws to conform with the position of the Supreme Court. The Governor has indicated that he will call a special session to deal with this problem before the end of April. While many options have already been suggested, it is unclear what action will be taken to correct the problem. The case was argued before the court on Jan. 9, two days before the session started! It is hard to believe that the State’s Attorney General was not following cases before the II.S. Supreme Court. The administration and legislature should have been made aware of the potential impact of this case. Had the legislature known, a contingency fund could have been established as a part of the approximately $600 million that was added to the FY 1990 budget. The statute of limitations will expire May 1 for 1985 returns, therefore, in order to protect a possible refund, federal retirees should consider filing an amended 1985 state return before that date. The Department of Taxation has established a special post office box for retirees who wish to file amended returns pursuant to the ruling in Davis v. Michigan The address is: Department of Taxation, P.O. Box 5126, Richmond, VA 23220. The filing should include a complete copy of the original return for the year being amended, the pension income statement for that year, and TOYOTA WE'RE BRAND NEW AND HERE FOR YOU!

R. Latham reported last Thursday. Latham said Delegate D. French Slaughter told him that a crossover has been approved at Route 730. Neither the design nor exact location are specific yet.

In 1988 it collected more than 1,850,000 pounds of food. The food was distributed along With more than 185,000 gospel tracts. 8 According to Mr. Wood, most of this food is produce which farmers can’t sell: truck loads of under-sized potatoes or gleanings of fields before the last frost. Mr. Wood’s visit to Trinity Church will launch a Harvest Sunday Project in cooperation the “In Jesus’ Name” food distribution ministry. Trinity Church will become the first church in association with “In Jesus’ Name” to grow food for distribution to hungry inner-city children and adults. Everyone in Rappahannock County who grows, vegetables or fruits is asked to set aside part of their garden for the Harvest Sunday Project. According to Mr. Wood, this could be as simple as growing an extra tomato plant. Then on appropriate Sundays - perhaps one in July, two in August and one in September — gardeners will bring their produce to Trinity Episcopal Church. On the same day. Trinity Church volunteers will deliver the produce to a church in Washington, D.C., where it will be distributed. Trinity Episcopal Church is challenging the people of Rappahannock County to help solve the hunger problem by growing food for the poor. Members of the community are invited to attend this worship service and participate in the Harvest Sunday Project.

The movie stars Sigourney Weaver and Bryan Brown. Dian Fossey, stunningly played by Weaver, emerges as a dashing, courageous colossus of animal rights whose methods on behalf of her beloved, endangered gorillas may have gotten a wee bit extreme toward the end, but all in the name of a good cause. Fossey spent nearly two decades, on and off, in the mountains of Rwanda before she was murdered by an unknown assassin. We see highlights from her long years of study in Rwanda, when her dedication to preserving what she called “her” gorillas against poachers became a frequently ugly onewoman war. This film is well worth seeing for Weaver’s gutsy, beautifully shaded performance, for its African landscapes and for its glimpse, however incomplete, into a fascinating woman whose virtues and vices are still being hotly debated. The movie is rated PG-13. Admission is $13 for adults and $2 for children. Lions benefit auction The Rappahannock Lions Club auction is planned for Saturday, May 6, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Washington fire hall.

Llamas are very easy to train and get along with small children very well. Can you ride them, or race them? Well, children can ride them. They only weigh between 250 and 350 lbs, so adults are too big. They don’t ride well though. They are better suited for carrying packs. We do race in small pony carts.

Day REALTOR CS””" WHEN TO MAKE AN OFFER? It takes a lot of courage to invest in real estate. You can look at dozens of houses, find the ideal investment, and conclude that there is no way to lose, but when it comes time to actually sign that check for the purchase, you may find your hand shaking a bit. The only advice I can offer is to be your own boss. Listen to others, but always make that final decision yourself when you are ready. If it will make you feel any better, we rarely find any homeowner who concluded that the purchase of their home was a bad investment. When is it precisely the best time to make an offer once you have decided to buy a particular property? The best advice is to make it as soon as you possibly can once you have decided to go ahead. Once you have decided to buy, do not wait even one hour before you arrange to make an offer. There is always the chance that someone else may beat you to it, especially if you are convinced that it is the best home for you at the best price. Working wjth our office makes this important step a simple and efficient matter. If there is anything we can do to ■ help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

Non-nutritive foods can still benefit By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics From earliest times, plants and animals have been valued not only for nourishment, but also for certain chemical properties that have been used to cure a variety of ailments. Nonnutrient food constituents do not have any special powers that promote health, but because they contain physiologically active substances, they may be better for you than nutrient supplements are. By eating a variety of foods, a person receives nutrients, nonnutrients, and more. Here are some foods that contain nonnutrients with supposedly beneficial effects and what significance; if any, the available information has for consumers. Caffeine occurs in several plants, including coffee beans, tea leaves, and cocoa beans. A stimulant, caffeine increases the respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and the secretion of the stress and other hormones. It stimulates the digestive tract, promoting efficient elimination, and its wake-up effect is well known. Caffeine seems to be relatively harmless when used in moderate doses, the equivalent of fewer than two to four average-sized cups of coffee a day. In greater amounts, caffeine can cause the symptoms associated with anxiety - sweating, tenseness, and inability to concentrate. This substance is not addictive, but it is habit-forming, and the body adapts to its use to some extent. Sudden reduction of the dose cause's a characteristic withdrawal reaction, including headache, depression, and sometimes anxiety. A person experiencing this reaction can obtain temporary relief from taking another dose. Coffee dessert 1 1/2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 1 1 2 cups water 1 cup milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder 3 eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Put gelatin, water, milk, sugar, salt, and coffee together in double boiler. Stir until gelatin has melted and mixture just reaches boiling point. Add egg volks; stir over lowheat until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon. Remove from heat. Add vanilla; chill until mixture thickens to syrupy consistency. Stir frequently. Heat egg whites until stiff; fold into mixture. Pour into sherbet glasses; chill until firm. Decorate as desired. Yield 6 servings. One of the most potent and dangerous drugs used by humans is derived from plants when their carbohydrates are fermented by microogranisms. Test tube experiments suggest that grape juice has an antiviral effect that carries over, to a lesser extent, when the grape juice is made into wine. The substance responsible for inactivating viruses is found in the skin of grapes making red wines more antiviral than whites. Strawberries and several other fruits also provide such benefits. ■Outdoor Garden SaleBedding Hanging Azaleas & Assorted PLANTS BASKETS SHRUBBERY j 79^Tray 20 Quart Potting Soil.

Usually they tak^. the edge off hunger by providing e{! few calories and a measure of relaxa»J tion. In people who are tense and un*J able to eat, small doses of wine taken fw 20 minutes before meals may stimulate the appetite. Because it relaxes people, wine may help obese people lose weight. Its success is thought to, stem from its ability to relieve emo-1 tional stress which is a common reason for overeating. However, it isn’t necessary td* drink wine to obtain many of thesd j effects. The chemicals responsible for them are present in the original juice from which the wine was fermented and are present when the alcohol is again removed. In short, consume wine in moderation, if at all, and do eat a variety of fruits. Watermelon basket dessert A watermelon can be made into a basket by cutting through it length- . wise to within 2 inches of center. Do same at other end of melon. Remaining 2-inch band becomes handle of basket. Scoop out seeds from the portions of melon you cut off and from remaining portion that serves as the basket. Cut melon into rounds with melon-ball cutter or into small pieces with knife. Combine with other fruits such as strawberries/ blueberries, seedless grapes, diced apples, pears, cantaloupe, nectarines, cherries, oranges, and cubed pineapple; fill basket.

Journal Strawberries make a prolific garden crop Bv DIANE REEF Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Delicious strawberries can be grown in the home garden. Strawberries will produce more fruit in a small space than almost any other berry crop. Twenty-five plants are enough for a row approximately 40 feet long. They should produce 25 or more quarts of berries next spring if planted this year. Select several varieties to give early, midseason and late harvest. Earlidawn is one of the best, very eaHy varieties as its blossoms are somewhat tolerant to cold. Catskill and Pocahontas are fine for midseason. Surecrop and Redchief will provide large crops of late fruit. Marlate is popular since it bears friiit a week or more after the other late varieties. (Everbearing (varieties produce fewer berries which are generally of lower quality, but new varieties are beginning to show promise. . You'll find strawberries are ah easy crop to raise on fertile, welldrained soil with a pH between 5.7 aqd 6.5. Fertilization is seldom necessary on good soils supplied with organic matter. Where a soil test indicates the need, about one pound per 100 feet of row of a complete fertilizer, such as 10-10-10 or 10-6-4, should be cultivated into the soil before planting. Strawberries should be planted in the spring three or four weeks before the average date of the last frost in your locality. Set the plants 12 to 24 inches apart, in rows three to 3'/a feet apart. Set each plant so the base of the central bud is at the soil level. If set too low, soil mav wash over the crown during a rainstorm and srrtother the plant. If set too high, the top part of the roots will be exposed and the plant will grow poorly. 1 Spread the roots out and firm the soil about them to eliminate air pockets in the soil. 1 Course on bird study A Bird Study Course will be offered in Washington beginning May 4. The course will consist of three one-hour class sessions on Thursdays from 9-10 a.m. at the Trinity Episcopal Church. The course is open to anyone with an interest in birds and who wants to learn more. Registration will be limited to 15 participants and there will be a $20 charge for the course.

Swan, Jr. & Co. 201 S. East St.. Culprper 825-8371 Pick off any flowers that develop during the first summer. The plants need to use all the food produced for the formation of runners that will produce fruit next year. Even if you left the flowers and harvested a few berries this year, they’d be small and of poor quality. Within a few weeks of planting, your strawberry plants will start to develop runners. If allowed to grow without interference, they will form a matted row about two feet wide. If you choose let them grow this way, begin by planting them about two feet apart in the rows. Another method is the hill system. Place plants 12 inches apart in the rows, but remove runners as soon as they appear. Larger crowns with extra-large berries result from, this method. Many homeowners prefer the hill system as it makes plants easier to manage. A compromise between the two is the spaced row system. Plants are set 18 to 24 inches apart and runners from the plants are kept six to 12 inches apart until the desired stand is established. All late-forming runners are removed as they appear. Spaced rows produce large, uniform plants. Keep weeds and grass pulled from your strawberry beds. Perform this job at least every two weeks in new beds. Cultivation must be shallow, to avoid root damage. A light mulch of one to two inches of straw, wood chips or pine needles will help preserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Your strawberries must continue to grow vigorously during the summer and fall to develop large crowns with flower buds for the crop next summer. Apply water during dry periods. If the foliage becomes somewhat light green in late summer, broadcast one pound of 10-10-10 per 100 feet of row in late August or early September. Brush the fertilizer off the plants to avoid foliage injury. Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.

Pre-register fall crops To avoid having to make a separate visit to certify fall seeded crops, Linda Henry, director of the county’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office, suggests farmers may want to report the acres and intended uses of their wheat, oats, barley, rye and other small grains when they apply for the 1989 farm programs. ASC’S is currently conducting signup for the 1989 wheat and feed grains acreage reduction programs. The sign-up period ends April 14. Ms. Henry said fall-seeded crops which are not reported by June 15 will be ineligible for program benefits. Farm program participants are required to report their actual acres planted for harvest to be eligible for price support loans, deficiency payments and other benefits. Farmers who do not enroll in the acreage reduction program could also benefit by reporting their planted acreage because the report may be used for crop history purposes, according to the ASCS official. Acreage reports are used to determine compliance with farm programs and for documentation for future programs. ASCS randomly checks farms to verify that the reports are accurate, Ms. Henry noted. Farmers who have questions about certifying their fall-seeded crops or about the 1989 acreage reduction programs are encouraged to contact the Rappahannock ASCS office (675-3(119) for more information.

Softballers slip to 1-2 By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Despite two losses Rappahannock’s girls softball coach Renee Leake remains optimistic. “We’re playing well and improving with each game. This year. I wanted teams to walk off the field after playing us knowing they had been challenged. I feel we've been successful doing that.” The Lady Panthers dropped their second game of the season on April 4, 9-1, to the Page Panthers. “Our first three batters struck out looking and that set the tempo for the rest of the game,” Mrs. Leake explained. Rappahannock also had a slow start on defense, giving up five runs in the first inning. “I still thought we played excellent defense. We just didn’t hit the ball well," said Mrs. Leake. The RCHS girls looked like they were back to winning ways in Tuesday’s home contest against Clarke County, but after nine exciting innings, it was Eagles 5, Panthers 4. But even though the team lost, even though Coach Leake had a couple of questionable calls go against her girls, and even though she was the target of verbal abuse hurled by a couple of obnoxious fans, the coach refused to shed her sunny disposition. “It was one of the best games of the season. We finally started to hit the ball. We had just two strikeouts, and we were averaging about seven a game. Before the game our goal was to hit the ball, and if we were going to strike out, we wanted to do it swinging. They did everything I wanted -- but win,” Mrs. Leake explained. The game was a see-saw. Rappahannock struck first in the opening inning, when Deena Hitt and Donna Foster connected on a pair of sin gles. A base rap by Amy Nokes scored them both for a 2-0 lead. "This was the first game I used Amy as the clean-up hitter and I thought she did a great job,” the coach noted. Clarke evened the score in the second. In the third inning Karen Payne knocked in Nokes and RCHS regained the advantage, 3-& The Eagles tied it up again in the sixth and went up one in the top of the seventh inning. "We were down 4-3 going into the seventh but as usual, this team refused to quit,” said Mrs. Leake. With two outs and two strikes, Dawn Johnson got ai base hit and Sherron Boddie, who was on second, hustled around the bases and scored, sending the game into extra innings. It was three-up, three-down for both squads in the eighth. In the ninth with two outs and two Clarke runners on base, the play of the day transpired. The ball was a long pop to the outfield and as Deena Hitt was gathering the final out into her glove, she was smacked in the face by a stray ball. A little league team was practicing dangerously close; one of the kids hit the ball that caused Hitt to drop the fly. Coach Leake appealed for an interference call; she got none. What she did get was rude advice from a couple of Clarke County men who told her, “Sit down and shut up, girl, because you don't know what you’re talking about." Mrs. Leake refused to be der pressed, though. She complimented her team on their steady improvement and promised, “We’ll be ready for the next one on Friday at Brentsville.” Panther sports schedule Spring sports are in full swing at Rappahannock County High School.

Panthers drop two on the road By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Plagued by early season inconsistencies, the Rappahannock Panthers vasity baseball team dropped two close battles over the week. The Panthers’ first loss of the season came on April 4 to the Page Panthers, 12-10. Then on Tuesday, April 11, RCHS squandered its home opener, 7-0, on the Clarke County Eagles. Defensively the Page game was' one both teams would rather forget. Rappahannock committed eight errors while their Panther counterparts were guilty of nine. Despite their poor showing in the field, Rappahannock almost stole the win in the sixth inning. Down 8-7, Bill Atkins swung and missed for a third strike that would have been the Panthers’ second out. But Page’s catcher, G.W. McLaughlin, couldn’t hold on to the ball and Atkins was safe at first. Page struck out Julian Groves. Next up, Anthony Porter batted in Atkins with a single that was stretched into a triple following a three-base error by Page third baseman Ricky Good. Philip Daczewitz smashed a double, scoring Porter, and crossed” home plate himself, compliments of an error by shortstop Larry Housden. Rappahannock led 10-8 before Page came to bat. Page capitalized on four hits and a pair of walks off losing pitcher, Doug Smith, for the final lead, 12-10. The only other times RCHS had the lead was 3-0 in the top of the first, and when they regained it 5-3 in the top of the second. Groves, Porter, and Smith led the Panthers at the plate hitting two-out of- four. The home loss to Clarke was much harder for Coach Gary Leake to swallow. "You’re never going to win a game when you strand 13 runners on base like we did today,” Leake said. Every time the Panthers loaded up the bases with one or no outs, they would come up emptyhanded. With the Panthers behind 5-0, Jason Butler got the blue and gold rolling in the third inning with a single, then stole second and third. Rappahannock’s next batter drew a base on balls and advanced to second after a wild pitch. Julian Groves knocked in RCHS’ first run with a screaming shot dowm the third base line. Atkins scored the second off a base hit by Jamie Walters. The Panthers’ next two batters, Philip Daczewitz and Anthony Porter, were retired on strikes. Groves and Walters both scored on a wild pitch by the Eagle pitcher and at the end of three Rappahannock traied 6-4. In the fourth, two Clarke hitters in a row made it to first base. The first runner was pegged by catcher Wesley Jenkins when he tried to steal second. The second runner was forced out by nice fielding by shortstop Julian Groves. The third out came when an Eagle runner on second base tried to run over Groves as he was fielding a grounder. When RCHS came to the plate Smith. Jenkins, and Groves loaded up the bases but no one could bring them in. Rappahannock continued to shine defensively in the fifth when Porter snagged a line drive and nailed the runner at first for a double play. In the bottom of the fifth Daczewitz got on base with a bloop single to left field. He scored off a hard double by Porter. And again with only one out RCHS loaded the bases. And again they failed to capitalize after the catcher turned a dou somevirginiansthinkTheir INSURANCE RATESARETOOHIGH.

After a home run by Clarke’s Erie Hoggett and a long double, Coach Leake went to his bullpen. “I thought Danny Ellis, who got the loss, played a fine game for his first outing of the season,” Leake said. Bill Atkins started the sixth with a single to center field. Walters hit a double and scored Atkins. Again with one out the Panthers loaded the bases. Again they came away with nothing. “Basically we didn’t get any breaks today,” said Leake. “But this was only our third game and it was Clarke’s sixth. By the time we’ve played six, we won’t be making the same mistakes. What we need to do is learn how to win without Doug Smith on the mound. He can’t pitch every game for us.” Rappahannock is now 1-2 in the Bull Run District in the middle of the pack that trails the 5-0 Page Panthers. Their next game is at Brentsville on Friday, April 14.

Despite inclement weather, D.r I /AT T I Cl A lITr»rv^.,__ _ Thursday, April 13, 19X9 Old Dominion races are close 13 Arundel Newspapera.Staff Writer - BEN VENUE — In a driving finish, Will Russell bested a field of eight owner-rider hurdlers by 2V2 lengths on Jolly River, retiring the challenge trophy in honor of William B. Brainard Jr., MFH of the Old Dominion Hounds from 1966-76. Russell won the race the two previous years on News Special. , Hager Hill and Lady Bee Bar took the early lead as Russell kept Jolly River in third position. With 6ne time left to go around, Russell moved out in front past Lady Bee Bar, whom Gunnell kept within striking distance. Though Gunnell made a run at the frontrunner in the stretch. Jolly River managed to sustain his lead by 2V2 lengths. “He was a little strong at the beginning. I didn’t know whether to let him go right up front and stay there or to hang back,” said Russell about Jolly River who has won four times this season. Another Yovanovich-trained horse repeated his winning performance of last year. Mocito Bien won the ladies’ timber for Juliet Graham, besting Warrenton winner Tougher Still and Patti Cassel by a hefty eight lengths. Michele Rouse and Useful Information came in third. Favorski with Fonda Graley ran strongly at the beginning of the 5horse contest, challenged by Ronnie Lee with Susan Wight. Favorski fell at the sixth fence, and the loose horse forced Ronnie Lee off course, Reaving Mocito Bien with the lead which he kept past the finish. Graham held off Tougher Still who rallied belatedly in the stretch. Cassel had to settle for second. u ran Detter tnan last year, said Graham about her win. “Mocito Bien just kept rolling on. I knew I >vas sitting on a powerhouse." Although the horse had won three times last year, it was his first win this season out of three starts. Owner Charles Whitehouse bought Mocito Bien about ten days ago. “I bought him as a hunter — he goes on the buckle,” he said. Since the horse was racing fit, Whitehouse decided to let him run. 1 Dr. Blase ran a good race in the open hurdle race but suffered his first real defeat this year. The horse under Hilary Thompson took the early lead and kept it for V/2 miles, ■and spectators looked forward to a repeat performance of Casanova, Happahannock and Warrenton. Sampson Hall ran in second place with Rappahannock winner Dusty High in third the first time around as Michel Gauthier kept Fe back. With one fence left to go, Cockburn edged Sampson Hall forward, and Gauthier kept Fe running at his heels. After the last fence Sampson Hall took the lead, only to have it snatched in the stretch by Fe, who won the race by 3/4’s of length. Dr. Blase trailed Sampson Hall by three lengths. ‘‘My trainer told me to stay behind, but he just w'on by himself,” kgaid Gauthier. The horse, imported from England two years ago, won a sanctioned race at Middleburg last year and is headed for Richmond next week. “This race was just a prep,” said Gauthier, who enjoyed tw'o wins Saturday. Topeador had a day of rest since no owner-rider timber owners showed up to compete against the big chestnut in the Old Dominion Hunt Cup. Wood galloped through the stretch and collected his winning points. Winning this race secured the Seven Corners Championship for Henry Wood, who was competing in r PLACING IN THE PAIRS RACE at Ben Venue, Rappahannock Hunt members Suzie Poole (center) and Sara Adams accept their second place awards from Mary Krenytsky, who presented the cups in behalf ot Dr. and Mrs. Marc Krenytsky and Mr. and Mrs. John Pixley Sr. this series for the first time this year. Larry Poe on Fleeting Roy was another repeat winner. Poe took the lead in the first race, fending off challenges from Turn To Billy with Cort Marzullo and Sir Fieldmont with Eurydice Rorick. As the race progressed the seven horses spread out, with Fleeting Roy running easily on the front end. Rorick kicked Sir Fieldmont into gear in the stretch, passing Turn To Billy but was unable to catch Fleeting Roy, who won by ten lengths. “If you just get him to the front and let him set his own pace, he's hard to beat,” said Poe about his father’s horse who won for him at Blue Ridge and was second at Orange County. Owner-trainer Albert Poe, Middleburg’s huntsman, won on him at Piedmont. Sir Arthur took command early in the first division of the maiden hurdle race, running alone on the front end while Bourke kept Trainer Tree back in third. Bourke made his move after the seventh fence, catching up to Sir Arthur and jumping the last two fences with the lead. "He’s just gobbling up ground," said announcer Will O’Keefe as Trainer Tree galloped on, passing Sir Arthur to win by Vi length. Kool Mars came in third, four lengths behind Sir Arthur. “I kept a nice even pace throughout,” said Bourke who was confident of his win. “That horse has won a lot of races last year on the fiat.” The field ran tightly bunched in the second division of the maiden hurdle contest, with Vertical Alien, Moseby and Roaring Reef exchanging the lead initially. After the seventh fence Gauthier moved Go Go Gordon up to second, on the heels of Roaring Reef who had taken the lead under Jeremy Gillam. When Roaring Reef hobbled after the final fence, Gauthier took advantage and moved through on the inside to win by 3/4’s of a length. Vertical Alien and Gerry Newman followed another five lengths back. Though Go Go Gordon has run at three sanctioned meets, it was his first point-to-point and first win. Upperville trainer Robert O’Brien has had the horse since he bought him as a weanling from Mrs. Randolph. O’Brien credited Gauthier with the horses’ winning performance. “Michel says take him here, take him there, do this, do that. I just go along,” he said. The horse ran last week at. Aiken but finished nowhere; according to Gauthier. That race had fewer fences because fallen riders forced horses to race around them, and the horse lost his advantage because he ' makes up ground over fences. As at Piedmont, Michael Harris on Jupiter took the early lead in the novice timber race which he kept two times around. He was followed by a tightly-bunched pack 15 to 20 lengths behind, headed by Straight Paths with Paddy Neilson and Young Rodney with David Bourke. With 3/4’s of a mile left, Jupiter tired and Bourke made his move against Neilson as Bonnie Dawn moved up from behind. Bourke kept the lead over the last three fences, winning easily by 10 lengths. Last year the horse won over hurdles at Old Dominion after going off course at Casanova and falling at Warrenton when he was tried over timber.

He won his first start this year over timber at Rappahannock and then fell two fences from home at Farmington. He returned to his winning ways on Saturday. Dawn Dugan on Glyn and Jerry Glass on Life’s Gamble took the early lead in the second division of the rider opportunity race while Cort Marzullo hung back with Annie’s Exchange, biding his time. The field ran tightly bunched, with Life’s Gamble and Glyn exchanging the lead until Glyn dropped back after 3/4’s of a mile. While Life’s Gamble ran on the front end, Laura Whitney edged Krabloonik up from behind. Then Marzullo gunned Annie’s Exchange with a quarter of a mile to go. At the head of the stretch Annie’s Exchange, Life’s Gamble and Krabloonik galloped neck-and-neck. At the wire it was Annie’s Exchange who won on the nod over Life’s Gamble. “Tommy said to let her run where she wanted to go, and then when you get up the hill, hit her with the stick,” laughed Marzullo, referring to trainer Tommy Lee Jones’ winning instructions. Katherine with Nelson Gunnell led the pack in the first division of the 8-horse race followed by Branscome on Symphony Sid. With Vi of a mile to go, Hilary Thompson moved Russian Begum up from behind, flashing past atherine and drew away to win by eight widening lengths. “I’ve loved him for years,” said Thompson about the horse, owned by Magalen Bryant and trained by Roger Dodson. “He surprised me coming up that hill. I hit him twice when he got doing the snake on me, then I hand rode him,” she said. The horse finished third at Middleburg’s sanctioned race last year, and the owner might run him there again this year. Chatisun led the pack in the last race of the day, followed by Cockburn on Saratoga Tiger on the outside and Private Showing with Eric Juvonen. With 5/8’s of a mile to go, Run Nicoma Run was running in fourth place while Bourke brought Cartsprings closer to the lead. With 1/16 of a mile left, Newman made his move on Run Nicoma Run and beat Cartsprings by a hair in a driving finish. “She’s such a tryer,” said Newman. “She didn’t need to fall at Warren ton,” he said, referring to her hurdle spill. The win today should boost her confidence. RESULTS RIDER OPPORTUNITY FLAT RACE. FIRST DIVISION. 2:16:2. 1. Albert Poe's Fleeting Roy, Larry Poe. 2. Michael Turner’s Sir Fieldmont, Eurydice Rorick. 3.

Anthony Fudd is headed for MIT By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Parents dream of sending their children to college. They see college as providing a path to a better life, and so many even begin saving money to pay for the dream before they have their first child. For John Fudd of Flint Hill, the grandest of those dreams has come true. His youngest son Anthony is about to enter one of the most prestigious schools in America, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “MIT will never be the same,” said Helen LaCava, Anthony’s calculus teacher at Rappahannock County High School. “He doesn’t fit the mold of the typical MIT student. His interests are far too broad.” Most of his teachers agree that Anthony Fudd, known school-wide for his great sense of humor, is not the type of person they’d picture attending MIT. But none of them are surprised at his acceptance. And neither is Anthony. “I’ve always told myself that if you want to do something, it doesn’t matter where you come from. What counts is how you go about doing it. This may not be true, but it’s what I was thinking when I applied,” Anthony said. When Anthony was a sophomore he saw a friend with an MIT sweatshirt, and the idea of attending the famed university was planted in his mind. But he became more interested in the school this past summer when they sent him a letter expressing an interest in having him apply. “They found out about rpe through the SAT Student Search,” Anthony explained. With the support of his father, his brother Jeff, his sister Linda, and the faculty at RCHS -- especially Jon Heddleston ~ Anthony completed the application for the Massachusetts university. “It wasn’t too different from applications for other colleges,” Anthony said. The most exciting part was his interview with MIT graduate, Dr. John A. Stefano. “It was a relaxed conversation and after we were through Dr. Stefano said he thought I had a good chance of being accepted,” reported the young scholar. * Anthony added that hfe 'confidence was boosted when the school continued to send him piles of literature. Then on March 24th when he got home from school Anthony found a large manila envelope with big letters, M-I-T across the top. “Nobody else was home so I ran into the house and sat at the dining room table. There were a whole bunch of papers inside the envelope. One was on a stiff piece of cardboard and on it said, ‘THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY TAKES PRIDE IN ACCEPTING YOU TO THE CLASS OF 1993.’ “I read it over and over, then I yelled out loud. I paced back and forth in the living room with this thing in my hand. The only person I Photo by Joe McCullough for the Rappahannock News ANTHONY FUDD told that night was my brother. The next morning, when I was alone with my dad, I told him. Boy! Was he happy!” Anthony kept the happy news a secret from everyone else over the spring break. When he got to school he ached to tell someone. “I wanted to tell Mr. Heddleston first before he heard from someone else, because he had helped me so much. It was rough though, because I had the hardest time finding him.” „ Finally Anthony tracked down the English teacher and then he was free to share his secret. The letter was read over the intercom to the Rappahannock studentry and by the end of the day his back was sore from all the congratulatory pats he received. Anthony Fudd is a man of many talents, including engineering, which he plans to major in at MIT. “I’ve watched him since the eighth grade. He was an achiever then, doing his brilliant cartoons. He’s a multi-talented individual: no matter what he does, he does to the best of his abilities,” said Mr. Heddleston. The English teacher credited Anthony’s success to his solid upbringing. “His dad’s been actively involved in everthing his kids do, instilling in them high morals and values. I think we have done for Anthony what every good teacherparent should do - tell him he’s great and that he can do whatever he wants. But most of all, to never underestimate himself. I think Anthony’s success speaks well for our school system,” Mr. Heddleston added. Anthony is a quiet kid, almost the stereotypical bookworm. Yet he’s well-respected by his classmates, so much so that they’ve elected him president of the Student Government Association, and of the senior class. Before the seniors’ recent trip to Disneyland, Anthony’s classmate, Eric Dunn, sang a song about his pal in Physics class. (It borrows the tune of the Mickey Mouse Club theme -- kind of.) “M-I-T-F-U-l/, Anthony Fudd (repeat). Six percent. Anthony Fudd. Six percent. Anthony Fudd. Watch my GPA soar, high, high, high. M-I-T-F-U-D a perfect family. M-I-T and Anthony, as cool as they can be.” Anthony applied to MIT and Harvard (he hasn’t heard back from them yet) because he knew it would a challenge. He thrives on challenges and he cherishes the thought that he is doing something no other student from Rappahannock has done before him. But his heart will always be on the morning side of the Blue Ridge here in Rappahannock County. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Anthony goes out in the big world and then comes back home to be a successful artist like the Far Side’s Gary Larson,” concluded Mr. Heddleston.

Meadows Continued from page 1 to give Mr. Barton and his wife enough room for the large family gatherings they planned to have during the holidays. “Although for 90 percent of the time the house will be occupied by just one couple, it will be a gathering place for their four children for special occasions and holiday^ ... it will be used at times for the entire family - that's why the need for a large dining room and a large living room.” John Wells, an architectural historian with the Division of Historic Landmarks of the Department of Conservation and Historic Resources, was asked by the board to consult as an expert on historic preservation. He told the group that, after reviewing Mr. Kulski’s proposal and seeing the property that afternoon, he had, “several concerns about the proposed renovation.” He noted that one of those concerns, about changes to the building’s interior, are not within the board’s scope of authority and would not be addressed. One concern which does fall under the board’s authority, he said, is that the proposed addition would “obscure and possibly cause damage to the twin chimneys” on the south side of the building, which he called its "prominent architectural feature.” With the wing added, he said, that would become the building’s dominant architectural feature. That, along with moving the entrance way from the side to the center of the building, would destroy the asymmetrical style which is the hallmark of the structure. “I gather that you feel that the addition is too large?” Mr. Kulski asked. “In this location, it is too prominent and too large,” Mr. Wells replied. Mr. Kulski noted that the addition is only about one-quarter the area of the existing structure, and added that he has done renovations of historic buildings when the addition comprised an area three-quarters the size of the original structure. “I beg to differ that the addition is significant.” Addressing me cnimneys, ivir. Kulski said his intention was to make the building proportional on the south side with the addition of the wing, which would also add another chimney. Approaching from the south, driving up Main St., he said, motorists would then see, “a progression.of chimneys.” Mr. Wells replied that his suggestions were offered only to preserve the significant architectural features of the existing structure. “I’m not an architect, and I'm not the architect hired for this project. It is not for me to userp their authority-” However, he said, placing the addition behind the existing structure, tied to it with a hallway, would offer an alternative which would allow the needed living space to be added while still preserving the chimneys and the existing architectural composition in general. Whayne Haffler, an architect and county resident who consulted with the board, told them that the house is, “an unusual, striking house.” The question, he suggested, is "how important the house is to the fabric of the town, and w hether you want to preserve it." He pointed to the unusual, asymmetrical entry way, as well as the house’s position on the lawn as important architectural features in addition to the twin chimneys. "If you are going to preserve the house, if you decide it is an important house, then you need to preserve it as it is.” If the grade of the front lawn is raised one complete level to change the entrance, he said, "it is a substantial alteration in the way the house presents itself." And, he added, an addition on the south side AMISSVILLE — 6 * acres site w fencing & horse facilities.

If the house is made symmetrical with the addition of a wing, Mr. Haffler said, “in my opinion you deny what the house is. “I agree with John. An addition could go on the rear and preserve the historic character as well as leave e\ eryone satisfied.” Former mayor Peter Kramer pointed out that an architectural survey done of the town a few years ago said that The Meadows was, in fact, one of the most notable of the historic homes in the town. He noted that the town’s Historic District Ordinance directs and empowers the ARB to protect against encroachment of the structures within the district, and to encourage uses of those structures which lead to their conservation and protection. “That was the intent of the ordinance," Mr. Kramer said. “And what is proposed tonight is in violation of that ordinance. The building is being encroached upon, in my opinion." “If the owner could not achieve his goal in any other manner, there might be an argument for hardship," Mr. Kramer continued. But. pointing to the suggestion of Mr. Wells and Mr. Haffler that the addition be placed to the rear of the house, he added, “the solution presented would relieve the hardship and prevent encroachment." "I will grant you," Mr. Kramer said, “that this is not a pure structure. This is not a pure town. We are not a Williamsburg.” The Historic District Ordinance, he suggested, allows for development w hile preserving the historic character of the town. He urged the board, and Mr. Kulski, to consider the option of placing the addition behind the existing house. “That would allow the owners to enjoy the additional space, without compromising the existing structure ... If it were my house I would put it out back and put connectors on it and enjoy the daylights out of it." Ray Gooch, a member of the town council, complimented the board’s decision to seek expert advice in making its decision. “This is a major step in implementing the ordinance at a time when the fabric of the community is indeed very fragile.” Mr. Gooch said, he agreed with the appraisal of the proposed alteration. and urged Mr. Kulski to consider another design. To the board, he said, "If you reject this proposal, I hope an effort is made to accomadate the owners with another design.” And, he added, “I hope the owners knew of the historic district and about our board before they came to our town.” Mrs. Miller acknowledged that, “we are a fairly young board, and we are learning as we go. This house, we feel, is important - an important piece of our community.” Mr. Kulski maintained that the suggested alterations would present problems with ventilation as well as “circulation” problems. Placing the dining room in the addition and the kitchen in the main house would place a hardship on Mrs. Barton in serving food, he said. And, he added, his considerable experience with historic renovation told him that his design does not encroach on the present structure. To place the addition to the rear, he said, would diminish the value of the property. “Your proposal,” Mr. Kramer replied, “diminishes the value of the building. The mass is clearly visible . . . by preserving the architectural integrity vbu add to the value. "It comes down, he said, “to the owner who bought a building in the historic district knowing that the ordinance requires that he honor the character of that building - does what you want to do honor that character? The opposition you got tonight should lead you to believe that you are not." With the two sides stalemated in disagreement, but the board obviously leaning toward denial of the application as presented, Mrs. Miller suggested that the board could table the proposal without a vote. That, she explained, would allow Mr. Kulski to return with an alternate plan without filing an entirely new application. “What does your brother want?” ARB member Evelyn Willis asked Mr. Barton. “He wants a handsome, goodlooking house. I think that what was proposed was - but he would accept any solution which gives him the same space with a good-looking house." He pointed out that Mr. Barton has signed a contract for the addition, and a delay might pose a hardship on the construction timetable. "That does not meet the definition of hardship in the zoning sense," Mr. Kramer, who is a member of the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals, pointed out. "Hardship is not financial inconvenience.” Mr. Barton, Mr. Kulski and the board agreed that the most equitable solution would be for the proposal to be tabled so that Mr. Kulski could consult with Mr. Barton about his wishes for an alternate plan. Mrs. Miller announced on Monday that Mr. Kulski has contacted her with a second proposal. The ARB has scheduled a work session for Thursday, April 13 at 8 p.m. at the courthouse to review Mr. Kulski's revised plan. Robbins is honor inductee Cynthia S.

Last year, Nina Stamer captured the Smith Memorial for the first time on the women's side. She will also be running again in defense of her title. Several runners are coming from some distance away this year. Col. Dieter Knuepfer’s daughter, Karen Firestone, and a friend arrived in town this week after running across the State of Washington*The run was part of the state's celebration of the centennial of its acceptance into the Union. This will be Ms. Firestone’s second Fodderstack, but after running 425 miles in eight days along the Lewis and Clark Trail the road from Flint Hill to Washington may seem like a stroll in the country. The organizers have promised an exceptionally well-run race this year, with several of the glitches at the finish line having been rethought and smoothed out. “There will be a new chute design this year," Ms. Murray said, "and the results will be handled differently." That will be good news to the hard-core runners who compete, many of whom become anxious for the results only seconds after they finish -while most people are still gasping for breath. But the Fodderstack has never been just a “runner's" race. It has always been a community event, when people come out to run, or walk, or cheer on their neighbors. That tradition will continue this year. "We invite everyone to com pete,” Ms. Murray said. “Walkers, strollers, they are all welcome. You don’t have to be a runner.” And, she added, anyone who would like to make a contribution to the Rappahannock Recreation Authority, which sponsors and benefits from the race, is also welcome. The authority oversees the operation of the Rappahannock County Park on Route 211 just outside Washington. As always, there will be split times available along the course, as well as first aid provided by the Flint Hill, Sperryville and Washington Rescue Squads. Before the race, a shuttle bus will take runners from the finish line in front of the county courthouse in Washington to the staging area on Route 522 on the north end of Flint Hill. The bus will leave Washington at 9 a.m. Late registrations, at $10, will be accepted until 9:30 a.m. on Saturday at the starting area next to Settle’s Garage on Route 522 in Flint Hill. For the first 300 finishers there will be redesigned t-shirts featuring a tortise and hare design, Ms. Murray said. And another Fodderstack tradition, handmade pottery trophies, also continues. Potter June Jordan has produced “really beautiful” trophies for this year’s overall and age group winners, she added. And after the race, the Washington Baptist Church, just down Gay Street from the finish line, is having its Spring Event. There will be box lunches, a plant sale, refreshments and a flea market. Most of the shops in historic Washington will also be open. For more information about the Fodderstack 10K, call Bet Gehringer, (703) 075-3342 through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or call Ms. Murray (987-8984) after 7:30 p.m. Correction In last week’s newspaper, the letter to the editor, “New blood needed: In .Jackson District,” which was. attributed to James E. Swindler was actually written by his son, James E. Swindler II. Due to a typographical error, the "II" was omitted from Mr. Swindler’s signature. Also in last week’s paper, the story about Mildred Cebula’s slander suit against Sheriff John Henry Woodward erroneously identified the presiding judge as the Hon. Thomas Horne.

Emily Henry 703-987-9090, Home or 703-347-5220, Office Guest Continued from page 1 -—-* Mr. Gilliam has already filed the required number of petitions. In explaining his decision to seek re-election to his seat in the House of Delegates, where he also serves as the Minority Leader, Mr. Guest cited the “tremendous expressions of support 1 have received from many people, not only in the 31st District, but statewide, all requesting that I change course and seek reelection.” Mr. Guest noted his earlier decision that he would not run for the post when he announced his candidacy for governor, but said the lack of support for his gubernatorial bid forced him to reconsider. The pledge to vacate his seat, he said, was made because “in good conscience” he could not seek both seats. The filing deadlines were the same, he said, “and I thought it improper to run for two nominations at once.” Both Mr. Traister and Mr. Trevor said they understood Del. Guest’s reconsideration of his earlier decision, and had no hard feelings about it. “I can understand the political realities of the situation,” Mr. Trevor said, “lhats just the wavpolitics goes sometimes.” He pledged to assist Del. Guest’s campaign, and indicated an interest in becoming involved in the Warren County Republican Committee. He cited forces within the organization which threaten its unity, and said he intends to direct his efforts toward strengthening the committee. Mr. Traister cited Del. Guest's greater experience when he announced his decision to withdraw last week. “Andy Guest is better qualified ... In mv mind, I'm second best.” Democrat *10 K May 13 It’s time once again to get those training shoes out and get geared up for the annual Fauquier Democrat 10K race at beautiful Airlie.
