Old Rag Bulletins Meadows plan presented Washington's Architectural Review Board saw a preliminary plan by architect Julian Kulski for an addition to The Meadows last Thursday night. The plan, which places the proposed two-story addition to the rear of the existing structure instead of to the side, was presented by Mr. Kulski after the board tabled his original design following a meeting on April 4. According to ARB chairman Carol Miller, Mr. Kulski will return before the board on Thursday, April 20 to present his formal architectural plans. The meeting will be held at the courthouse at 8 p.m. ) School census begins The Rappahannock County public schools are required to take a census of the county's school-age children every three years. According to Superintendent David Gangel, the information compiled from the Census is used in determining the distribution of the one percent state sales tax revenues to local school districts. "It is important to all residents that an accurate census be made so that the County of Rappahannock receives its fair share of these monies," Dr. Gangel said. He added that the name, age and other pertinent information about each child between one and 19 years of age, and handicapped children ages 20 and 21, must be collected for submission to the state. Statistical summaries will be used by the county and the state in planning future educational needs. Dr. Gangel said that the censustaking will begin this weekend, April 22 and 23, and requested that all county residents give their cooperation to the census-takers.

Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter FIREFIGHTERS STAND BY with extrication equipment as rescue workers inside the truck's cab struggle to free the driver. Driver stable after crash By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The tractor-trailer which overturned Sunday night on Route 211 west of Sperryville was towed from the scene early Tuesday morning, while the driver remained in serious condition at Washington Hospital Center’s MedSTAR trauma unit. According to Trooper H. A. Newlin, who investigated the accident, Michael L. Davis, 28, of Garland, Texas, was travelling east down the mountain from Thornton Gap when he lost control of his 1988 Kenworth tractor-trailer. The truck crossed the road and ran off the westbound shoulder, sliding along the embankment until it turned over onto the driver’s side. Mr. Davis was pinned in the wreckage for about an hour as medical personnel attempted to free him from the twisted cab of the truck. One rescuer hung upside down through the passenger’s door into the cab as she immobilized Mr. Davis’s neck to prevent further injury until he could be freed. Two other medics worked toward him from the back of the truck’s sleeper cab, using the “Jaws of Life” to cut the metal which had trapped him. He was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Washington’s Advanced Life Support unit and transferred to Washington Hospital Center by the hospital’s MedSTAR med-evac helicopter. Mr. Davis suffered neck and possible internal injuries. Sarah Dodge, a spokesman with the hospital’s public affairs department, said Tuesday evening that Mr. Davis was expected to be moved from the hospital’s intensive care unit that night. Route 211 was closed until almost midnight Sunday after fire personnel on the scene suspected hazardousmaterials were being transported in the trailer, which was owned by Stevens Transport Inc. of Mesquite, Texas. According to Sperryville Fire Chief Greg Wayland, See WRECK, p. 16 ASSESSING MR. DAVIS’S CONDITION, Roger Roach (left) listens to lung sounds while Jackie Estes (center) starts an IV. Gary Jenkins immobilizes his head to prevent any additional injury. Fannon asked to resign Bingham says district not well represented By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Fulfilling a promise he made April 4 at the board’s public hearing on the county’s comprehensive plan. Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham last week formally requested the resignation of the district’s representative on the Planning Commission. The request was contained in a letter Col. Bingham wrote to David Fannon, who has represented Jackson District on the county’s commission for 11 years. His letter also reinterated his opposition to the plan as presented by the Planning Commission to the Board of Supervisors, which he expressed at length during the public hearing. The revision of the plan, which is required every five years and was four years overdue, passed by a 4-1 vote, with Col. Bingham dissenting, following the public hearing. “Dave,” the letter states, “I cannot over emphasize my concern for what might happen in Rappahannock County if we do not analyze our situation properly and plan accordingly. However, what grieves me the most at this time, is the fact that you have been our planning representative in the District since 1978, and yet seem to know so little about the District. This is evidenced by the inaccurate information on the data sheet for Amissville, our largest village area. This lack of attention to detail can only indicate to me your lack of concern with our District. “If the authority were vested in me I would have removed you from your position as District representative immediately. Since I do not have this authority, however, I am compelled to ask you for your resignation. Should you choose to disregard this request then I would suggest that you make every effort to be factual about Jackson District in the future. Furthermore, the data regarding Amissville should be updated prior to final publication of the comprehensive plan.” At the public hearing, Col. Bingham objected to the passage of the plan with statistics he described as out of date. In his letter he pressed that point, saying, “How we can develop realistic goals that will work ... for the common good of the County and our residents, without pertinent data, is beyond my comprehension.” In the letter, Col. Bingham restated his objection to the characterization of agriculture as the dominant indus- - try in the county. He said that, "The thing that bothers me most about the plan is the obsessive concern with perserving the agriculture industry in the county.” Noting that agriculture throughout the nation is facing great changes, Col. Bingham maintained that the pressures are particularly acute in rural counties near metropolitian areas, like Rappahannock. “At a certain point it no longer becomes feasible for the owner/operator to continue the agriculture operation as before. When he decides to sell out he wants to obtain top dollar for his land and that might mean subdividing into smaller acreage. Rappahannock County is rapidly approaching this condition.” In the letter. Col. Bingham cited as an example the recent sale of the Foster family's farm near Flint Hill. Referring to an interview Herbert Foster gave the Rappahannock News, Col. Bingham said that Mr. Foster gave the lack of labor and its cost as the principle reasons he decided to sell part of his family’s holdings. “He stated that: ‘Agriculture in Rappahannock County is no longer a viable business.’ This statement,” Col. Bingham said, “from a former County Supervisor and lifetime residentSee LETTER, p. 16 Reynolds, Stamer repeat wins in Fodderstack Classic Bv LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer "It was a perfect day for the runners,” said a jubilent Frank Reynolds, after capturing his ninth Eva L. Smith Memorial in the 11th running of the Fodderstack 10K Road Race last Saturday. “It was perfect for the runners,” race committee member Betsy Murray agreed, “but we lost all the walkers.” Although the downpour held off until almost everyone had finished Saturday morning, a persistent drizzle and cool temperatures kept all but the hardiest competitors indoors and Saturday’s race had the lowest turnout, 182 starters, in recent years. However, Ms. Murray said, the race went very smoothly and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Due to the rain the trophy presentation was moved from its usual venue on the courthouse steps across the street to the Gay St. Theatre, “but that wasn’t a problem either. Everybody went in, got warm and were presented their awards.” Ms. Murray said that, despite the weather, the race committee had plenty of volunteers ready to help Saturday morning, and that the committee’s advance planning and several changes, notably in the finish line arrangement, made the event go off without a hitch. And though many spectators stayed home because of the rain, those who did brave the damp and dreary morning were, “very enthusiastic,” Ms. Murray said. Along with Mr. Reynolds, the Smith Memorial award to the fastest Rappahannock woman went to Nina Stamer, with a time of 43:55. She improved her Smith Memorial winning time last year of 44:39 on her way to victory Saturday, her second in a row. At least one previous winner, Lisa Currie, sat out the race this year with her new baby. In the mens’ open division, Tim Wolters mounted the first serious challenge to Steve Pinard’s course record of 31:26. Mr. Wolters finished in 32 minutes flat, easily beating number two James Alexander, who crossed the tape in 33:57. Third place in the mens’ open division was captured by Andrew Shearer, who finished in a time of 34:53. Culpeper marathoner Tim Kearney, who had won the race the past three years, finished first in his 30-34 age group in 35:56, but was well off his previous marks this year. He finished sixth overall. The open womens’ division was taken by Terry Sweitzer in a time of 38:20. She was also well off the course record of 36:46, set in 1984 by Kim Belyea. She did, however, best last year’s winning time for women, run by Ruth Reimenschneider in 38:39. Second place overall for women was taken by Monica Cerillo in 40:12, followed by Karen Firestone in 43:22. Mrs. Firestone, a Pennsylvania resident who is the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Dieter C. Knuepfer, Mrs. Firestone competed in the Fodderstack after running across the State of Washington with a group celebrating the centennial of its acceptance into the Union. Mrs. Stamer also finished first in her age group, but Mr. Reynolds was not so lucky. Though his time of 36:58 was the fastest in the county, he was bested in the 40-49 age group by Randolph Wingfield, who finished in 36:46. Still, Mr. Reynolds pronounced himself satisfied with his effort, which shaved nearly a minute off his See FODDERSTACK, p. 9 Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan KATH OTTO AND TIFFANY make quite a team. Their time of 44:21 was fast enough to earn Kath a first place finish in her age group.

Board wields pen, scissors after nearing agency requests Byiu hR0N KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer he Board of Supervisors made i s rst decisions on which commumty service agencies to support and which requests to deny after presentations by agency representatives at e board s first budget work session last I hursday evening. They voted “yes" to a request from the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center for $2,000 for the new conference center that is nearing completion. Thev also voted to contribute $5,364 to Lord Fairfax Community College, up from $835 o ,vear Of the appropriation, $4,803 is for site preparation for a new library and parking lot. The supervisors also voted to approve a request for $19,164 for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. This is up from $17,744 this year, an eight percent increase. Also approved was $3,517 for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Services Council, up from $<3,350 this year. The board also approved an appropriation for $2,457 to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. That figure was increased also, up from $1,830 this year. Not all agencies met with the board’s approval, however. The supervisors voted to deny the request from Rappahannock Legal Services for $417. WVPT public television was not granted the $584 it sought, and the representative from Northwestern Virginia Health Systems Agency left the meeting without the $377 appropriation the agency had hoped for. The board decided to table a request from the FORE sheltered workshop in Remington. The supervisors will discuss its $6,000 request at another work session scheduled for May 11. Also postponed was the Rappahannock County Library Board’s request for $20,451, up from $17,444 this year. Dr. William Young told the supervisors he would have to modify his request because some supplies had been left out of the budget. The supervisors said they prefered to wait for the new numbers before acting on the library request. The board members also heard from Social Services Director Beverly Bowen about her budget but took no action on that. She explained that the main reason for the $12,322 increase in local funds requested for that budget is the cost of foster care. Ms. Bowen said that Rappahannock County has a large foster care population for a county of its size. She said she hopes to focus the department’s efforts more in the area of prevention to try to solve family problems before they become so severe that children must be put in foster care. Some of these situations “festered,” she said. Earlier, the supervisors talked with County Treasurer Frances Foster about how county funds are invested. The issue came up earlier this year when the county had to borrow money for five days to meet an end-of-the-month payroll because a certificate of deposit wasn’t due to mature in time. Mrs. Foster said that 14 days was the shortest term she could get certificates of deposit for. “I don’t think much of money market funds,” she said. “I think certificates of deposit are better.” “I brought the matter up,” said Jackson District representative Ellis Democratic caucus elects delegates By LEE BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Saturday, April 8, Democrats from all sections of Rappahannock County filled the courtroom to elect four delegates and two alternates to represent the county at three Conventions to be held by the Democratic Party of Virginia during May and June.

The two candidates in this election are Barbara Greco of Front Royal and David Crump of Flint Hill, who are vying for the seat now held by Andy Guest. Two delegates and one alternate are committed to Greco, one delegate to Crump and one delegate and one alternate are noncomitted. A week later, the delegates and alternates will represent Rappahannock County at the 7th Congressional District Convention at Ashland. There, the Convention will elect 20 members to the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Virginia. When these 20 members have been ratified by the State Convention, they will comprise the 7th District Democratic Committee. Finally, on June 9-10, the Rappahannock delegates and alternates will attend the State Democratic Convention in Richmond, where they will, with other delegates from all counties and cities of the State, elect Democratic nominees for the offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. The candidates for two of these offices are unopposed: Doug Wilder for Governor and Mary Sue Terry for Attorney General. The remaining office, that of Lieutenant Governor is being sought by Dick Saslaw and Don Beyer, who both come from the Northern Virginia area. As of this date, two delegates and two alternates are committed to Beyer, while two delegates are uncommitted.

All persons who have an interest in the property proposed for abandonment, as well as the general public, may appear and make comment. Bingham. He said he was wondering if the county couldn’t get nine to 10 percent interest on a “rollover account ... You can draw that money any time.” Mrs. Foster reported that the county had made 10 percent on some of its funds invested with the Rappahannock National Bank. “Last year we made $23,000 more than we anticipated,” she said. “I would like to commend you on your handling of Rappahannock’s money,” said Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes. “Only twice in seven years have we had to borrow money. I have been very satisfied with your conduct,” he said. Mrs. Foster said, “When we keep our money in a local bank, people in the county can borrow that money.” She added that Rappahannock National Bank was chosen as the repository for the county’s money because the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Flint Hill didn’t offer as high a rate of interest. County Administrator John McCarthy said handling public money has become “more complicated. Money is needed faster and in larger amounts. In the future we may have to invest differently.” Col. Bingham said his main concern was the interest rate. “If there is a way to get more money for the county, we should look into it,” he said. r Livestock market report The following prices were posted at the Front Royal Livestock Market’s auction on Thursday, April 13: Hogs US 1-3, 200-250 pounds: $35 Veal Choice and Prime: $85 to $98.50 Good: $82.75 to $90.25 Slaughter cattle Cows HD Cut and Break, UT 1-3: $40 to $46.50 Utility and Commercial, 2-4: $38 to $42.25 Canner and Cutter, 1-3: $35 to $38.75 Bulls, 1-2: $55.75 to $58.50 Stock cows Beef: $435 to $900 Baby calves: $80 to $95 Calorie Control Classes APRIL SPECIAL “Refund for Pounds Lost” REGISTRATION FEE*1500 WEEKLY FEE *5°° With our program we practice til we learn to manage our food so we can maintain a healthy goal weight.

The committee had recommended that the Harcourt-Brace Jovanovich series be adopted but supplemented by a phonics program, which the committee has not yet selected. Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative William Oliver moved that the reading adoption be tabled until the Board could see the phonics materials. “I’m a strong phonics booster,” he said. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie agreed, saying she had been taught by the “look see” method and as a result, “I’m a very poor speller. It’s important that phonics be stressed in school.” Piedmont District representative Dorothy Butler agreed, noting that as a retired teacher she had taught both methods and preferred phonics. The state is requiring phonics instruction, but School Superintendant David Gangel said only one of the textbook series from the state's list has a phonics program, and that, in his opinion, isn’t a very good one. “The state isn’t following its own guidelines,” he said. “The buzzword now is ‘whole language.’ That means that good literature should not be corrupted by alteration to fit the reading level. That’s baloney. The literature drives what kind of phonics you can have. In my opinion they have to learn to decode. If you start with ‘decoding comes first,’ then phonics will drive the literature. “Children come to school with a 5,000 to 6,000 word vocabulary. In the first three years you try to build up decoding skills to be on par with their vocabulary . . . In third or fourth grade you switch gears and start reading for content. The ‘whole language’ people don’t recognize the difference.” “Is there some reason we have to have the same series all the way through?’’ Mr. Oliver asked. Dr. Gangel said there was no such requirement, but “I’m happy and satisfied with what the commit tee came up with.” Mr. Oliver then made his motion to table the reading adoption and accept the science recommendation, which passed. Dr. Gangel said after the meet ing he had made a list of 11 more publishers to contact about phonics materials. The School Board accepted a bid of $27,320 from Salem Quality Equipment Company for diesel school buses and asked Dr. Gangel to order two buses. This was not the lowrest bid received. The board could have ordered gasoline busses for $24,225 each, but Mr. Oliver suggested that over the 10-year lifetime of service which the school system expects for its buses, the diesel busses would be cheaper. Dr. Gangel told the board the Environmental Protection Agency is requiring that all water fountains have a sign posted by them stating that lead in drinking water is haz ardous. He said that the school system did not know if there was lead in any of the schools' drinking water, but that none of the w ater fountains were made by the companies that have been listed as having a lead lining or lead cooling core. The board decided to have the water tested, which will cost $30 per drinking1 fountain. The signs will have to be posted, however, regardless of whether the tests show lead in the water or not. Dr. Gangel explained. The superintendant informed the board that the school system's average daily membership through March was 919. The current budget had been based on an average daily membership of 937. The lower average attendance figure will mean a loss to the school system of between $18,000 and See READING, p. 10 County Farm Service ---< > DEALERS PRIDE" t J Purina®* Dealers Pride®* txind DOG FOOD A good lasting product, for all stages of a dog's lif<^ Economical product for the dog in your life.

In the letter he addressed to Planning Commissioner David Fannon, Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham questioned the ability of agriculture to survive as the leading industry in the county. Indeed, according to figures he cites, agriculture has been surpassed in revenue generated for the county by real estate and retail sales. And, Col. Bingham suggests, the trend toward breaking up large farms into smaller parcels will continue as more and more farmers find farming is not a profitable enterprise. What we don’t agree with is the solution proposed by some, wrho would rescind the county’s land use tax incentives because in their view some speculators are abusing the provisions. That may be true — in some cases. However, the problem is that land use cannot be limited to only certain owmers — those w'ho live or work in the county, for example. That is an unlawful zoning discrimination, just as sure as a provision which would give Rappahannock natives preferential treatment in subdividing their land. If the parcel fits the criteria for inclusion in land use, it must be granted if the owner applies — regardless of his occupation. The solution to agriculture’s dilemma is not to give up the . present tax incentives. That would make the farmer’s plight •' even more difficult. If those still struggling to make a living on the land are denied the small incentives they now get, more would doubtless put up the “For Sale” signs and pack up the farmhouse. There are also non-economic advantages to encouraging agricultural uses in Rappahannock. Retail sales, Col. Bingham says, have surpassed farming as a revenue source in the county. True enough, but wThat type of retail sales are they? Much of that income is generated by tourists who come to Rappahannock County to spend a day in a beautiful, pastoral rural setting. They come here because of the beauty, and while they’re here, most spend some money. And it’s money spent at fruit stands and family-ow ned shops, not chain stores at a mall. The money benefits the residents w ho owTn and wrork in the shops. If our large farms are broken up into subdivisions, or sold to people who intend to do that, w hat happens to the tourists? Tourists don’t go to Fairfax and Loudoun counties to spend quiet days in the fresh air and sunshine. They come to the still-rural counties like Clarke and Rappahannock. If wTe lose the scenic beauty created by our large agricultural and forested tracts, wre stand a good chance of losing most of our tourist revenue. It won’t nearly be matched by the taxes paid by people wrho will move here to live in the subdivisions, most of w hom w ill doubtless wrork elsewhere. That would indeed be a large price to pay for “progress.” IF I HAD THE AUTHORITY I’D FIRE THE GENTLEMAN WHO REPRESENTS THE JACKSON DISTRICTs THE CITIZENS x WHO SPOKE IN FAVOR OF THE \ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ANYI ONE ELSE WHO DISAGREES WITH fl ME// • 9 Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage WITH THE RECENT RAIN, farm ponds like this one near Woodville are filled to the brim. Letters to the editor Who set landfill hours? To the editor: I’m writing to question the present hours at the new Rappahannock County landfill. The barely visible JMBbed hours - M.W.F. from 7:30 ^jn. until 3:30 p.m. - are not convenient for most working citizens. As a resident of Amissville, I find it very inconvenient to get the trash off my back porch and to the dump because of such hours and even more inconvenient to take tin cans to Huntly or Scrabble. Prior to the gate being installed at the Amissville dump. I was able to dump my weekly refuse after work hours, in clothes suitable for such a task. With the additional hours of sunlight in the approaching summer months, I think, Rappahannock taxpayers would be better served with new, more flexible, hours at the county landfill. I leave you with two questions - who decided the present landfill hours and for whose convenience? SCOTT CURRIE Amissville Editor's note: The sign posted at the county landfill in Amissville has been changed to refUct the landfill's correct hours. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, the dump's days of operation are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:JO a.m. until J:JU p.m. He noted that until persistent violations of the landfill's regulations forced the erection of a fence and gate, the public use area and its dumpsters were open to county residents J!t hours a day. “The Solid Waste Advisory Committee makes recommendations about changes in the landfill's operation," Mr. McCarthy said. “If there are serious concerns, then some thought could be given to further changes in the landfill’s hours of operation.” Residents with questions or concerns may contact Mr. McCarthy at the county administrator's office (675-JSJtZ) or get the name of their district representatives on the advisory committee from his office. Trible backs sentencing Republican candidate for governor, Paul Trible, has again called for a mandatory minimum 10-year prison sentence for anyone convicted of using a gun during a crime. Speaking at the 4th District Re publican debate in Emporia on March 22, Mr. Trible said, “My experience as a state and federal prosecutor has demonstrated that gun control doesn’t work. It’s an ineffective means of controlling the flow of firearms to criminals. “We need strict and mandatory jail terms for people who commit violent offenses writh guns,” the former U.S. Senator said. “When I’m elected governor of Virginia, I will push legislation in the General Assembly to provide a mandatory sentence of 10 years, with no parole and no probation, for anyone w'ho uses a gun in the commission of a crime. No questions asked. “Weil put billboards up at our borders and have public service announcements putting the world on notice that violent crime and the use of guns in the commission of a crime is not tolerated in the Commonwealth of Virginia,’’ Mr. Trible promised. “People will know that if they use a gun in a crime, they will go to jail for a long time. In that way, I hope we can create an atmosphere in this Commonwealth where there is zero tolerance for violent crime and the misuse of guns.” Armed forces Academy Day Senators John W. Warner and Charles S. Robb announced that they and the other members of Virginia’s Congressional Delegation will sponsor the 1989 Academy Day Seminar, Saturday April 29, at Western Albermarle High School near Charlottesville. The seminar is for all high school and junior high school students and their parents who are interested in learning more about the service academies and requirements for nomination. “We encourage Virginia students to attend Academy Day and investigate the opportunities available from attending any of our fine service institutions,” Senators Warner and Robb said in a joint statement. Representatives from the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy will answer questions and discuss requirements and procedures for seeking a nomination. The Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC programs also will have representatives available to meet with participants. Each of Virginia’s congressional offices will have staff members present to discuss nomination procedures. The seminar begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. Mrs. Stamer'scommitment To the editor: Having appeared at the Middle Street Gallery Sunday afternoon to attend the opening of the Recyclable Art Contest not only because, with Joyce Abell and Esther Settle, I had judged the work of the young contestants but also because 1 believe heartily in the program. I got a chance to learn something of the commitment of Nina Stamer to this recycling effort. As I had been brought up to consider waste one of the major sins I agreed completely in her appeal to the handful of parents there to support all efforts in the future to organize habitual consideration of . what recycling means, to the county and eventually to this country'. Hence the starting of the young along this worthwhile path is of incalculable. And Rappahannock is fortunate indeed to have a Nina Stamer. No one could be harder working, more self effacing and more loyal than she. And perhaps someday there will be an end to trashing our roads because all the trash will be in collection containers. WALDRON O’CONNOR Washington Gingrich's words rebutted To the editor: The April 9, Sunday “Outlook” section of the Washington Post had an article that I urge everyone to read: “The Gingrich Manifesto - The New GOP Whip Says It’s Time to Clean House,” by Newt Gingrich, a representative elected from Georgia. This article is a key-note declaration that will be repeated as a theme of the Republican Party throughout this administration. Because it is fallacious and slanderous; it needs to be scotched. The metaphor Rep. Gingrich employs, “time to clean house” means it is time to get Democrats out of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and Republicans in. Not surprisingly, he’s not satisfied with just Republican Executive power. It isn’t Rep. Gingrich’s wrish to elect Republicans that I take exception to. It is the reason that he claims this change is needed that disturbs me: he says Democrats represent unethical and corrupt government, which he associated with “left-wing values,” w'hich he also thinks characterize Democrats. He says Democrats cheat, «pid that some personnel in Chicago have been convicted of racketerring, bribery and fraud, and in New York of extortion, bribery, theft and fraud. In one paragraph, he says, “Perhaps the finest introduction to the systematic corruption inherent in a bureaucratized liberal welfare state is Mario Vargas Llosa’s introduction to Hernand De Soto’s. . . work on Latin American history,” etc. How’s that for what’s wrong with the Democrats in Congress? Rep. Gingrich even has the temerity to sandwich former Republican Senator John Tower among a list of what he terms “politically corrupt” Democrats, which for Sen. Tower, must be the unkindest cut of all. I draw your attention to Rep. Gingrich’s ideas because he plans to continue to make himself a national spokesman for the Repulican Party. His message is reminiscent of the days when J. Edgar Hoover appeared before a committee of Congress and helped introduce the Republican idea of twenty years of Democratic treason under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. So we have had more than 35 years of Republicans trying to convince people that Democratic ideas and candidates are probably communist. Miraculously, the communist menace has turned to jelly recently, but apparently “left-wing” is still useful. ; Before communists, we had attempts to scare people with Roman Catholic and Jewish plots to take over our government. I found an old book on that in the attic of my 2(Xj)year-old house on Martha’s Vineyard. The absurdity of a Republican talking about Democratic governmental corrpution as endemic aftdr an eight year Reagan administration marked by more illegality, indictments and convictions of former government officials than even the Nixon administration is so obvious that one wouldn’t think it worth pacing attention to. But last fall, we saw how canlpaign lies and distortions turned !a reputable candidate into some sogt of bogeyman. Hence my unwillingness to let Gingrich’s words lie unrebutted. His scoundrel call for la “crusade to save our children aril our future” requires Democrats t£> speak out. Why can’t we welcome differences between Democrats and Republicans in their approaches to the issues of the day? Why can’t we discuss problems rationally without libelling Democrats criminal, unpatriotic or communist? DIANA BIRD Washington

But, Mrs. Luke’s students won’t be standing at their easels sketching or pondering composition. 10 YEARS AGO April 19, 1979 Rappahannock’s representatives in the General As sembly as well as local candidates for Commonweatlh Attorney will be guest speakers at the mass meeting of the county Republican Party scheduled for Thursday, April 16, at 8 p.m. in the court house. Attorneys Douglas Baumgardner and Peter Luke, both seeking the office of Commonweatlh Attorney in the November elections, will each make a brief presentation before answering questions from the audience. Rappahannock’s Cadette Girl Scouts will be providing babysitting services and conducting a Children’s Fun Fair at the Washington Baptist Church this Saturday, April 21. The girls are planning to use the proceeds from these activities to help pay for a camping trip to New York this summer. 5 YEARS AGO April 19, 1984 Is the economy improving? Ask Wayne Walker and you’ll get an unqualified “yes” for an answer. The manager of the Aileen Plant in Flint Hill, the single largest employer in Rappahannock County, sees the recent economic upswing - both nationally and locally - continuing and growing even stronger, judging by the performance of his company during the first quarter of 1984. “Since the first of the year, we’ve hired about 80 people, bringing our total number of employers to 382. We have close to as many now as we’ve ever had in sewing,” Walker said. Guest leaves governor's race with class intact By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Although his late entry into the gubernatorial race doomed his candidacy from the start, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. departed the race as a class act whose political career is far from over. Del. Guest was mulling over a bid for governor two years ago and would have garnered much more support had he made public his intentions then. But at the expense of his own candidacy, he chose instead to put it on hold until he successfully steered through the General Assembly a referendum on pari-mutuel betting. While he was tending to legislative duties, other Republican gubernatorial aspirants were busy rounding up backers. When Del. Guest finally declared his candidacy, most party activists had chosen sides between Paul S. Trible, J. Marshall Coleman and'Stan Parris. Even so, the brief Del. Guest run showed him as one unwilling to attempt gains by negative comments about his opponents. As the minority leader in a House of Delegates that is heavily Democratic, Guest knows Republicans can regain the governorship and make inroads in the legislature only if they are strong and unified. He happens to believe the path to more power does not lie in savage intra-party strife that leaves everyone, victors and losers alike, wounded even before they enter into combat against Democrats. At this writing in early April it appears Del. Guest, who said earlier he wouldn’t seek re-election, may change his mind. That would be good news for a party that desperately needs the services of such a skilled veteran when the watershed redistricting issues comes up in 1991. And should a Republican become governor, that chief executive would be able to lean heavily on the advice of Del. Guest who, though not yet 50, has been a state legislator for 17 years and knows as much or more about the issues and legislative process as any member of the Assembly.

Guest is a folksy, down-to-earth individual who has a farm near Front Royal in Warren County. Everyone, even political enemies, considers him a gentleman, but he doesn’t qualify as a “gentleman farmer.” That’s because he actually gets out and plows the land himself. One memorable comment during a so-far unmemorable series of GOP guvematorial campaign debates, was when Del. Guest said, during a discussion of sex education in public schools, that as one who had been raised on a farm he’d had plenty of sex education at an early age. While some might bejnclined to write him off as a future factor in statewide politics, Larry Sabato, the distinguished political science professor at the University of, Virginia, is not one of them. Prof. Sabato thinks Mr. Guest four years hence might be a good possibility for lieutenant-governor on a ticket headed by Eddy Dalton for Governor. That presumes - as most observers do - that Mrs. Dalton, widow of former Governor John Dalton — will be elected lieutenantgovernor this year. The last statewide hurrah for two of three remaining Republicans running for governor is almost certainly coming with the June 13 primary. That would leave Del. Guest, who has no trouble winning re-election to the House, well-positioned to go after second spot on the ticket in 1993. And if he won he would be the odds-on choice for the GOP nomination for Governor before he turned 58. Though polls showed him with only a small percentage of the vote before he pulled out of the race, the fact Del. Guest concentrated on issues, said no disparaging words about the other candidates and con ducted himself in exemplary fashion will stand him in good stead with the various warring factions of the party once the primary smoke clears. He and his wife Mary Scott have always been immensely popular with rank-and-file Republicans. Many who had taken sides by the time he announced this year expressed disappointment that he hadn't come in earlier so they could have backed him. There is a developing consensus among astute political observers that the fall gubernatorial race will be between Sen. Trible and Lt. Gov. Doug Wilder. While most think Sen. Trible will win, few, if any, are inclined to write off Mr. Wilder as they did in 1985 when he wasn’t given a prayer against Republican lieutenant-governor nominee John Chichester. Should the GOP win the governorship and Mr. Guest decide to seek re-election to the House and remain as minority leader, he would become the Republican point man in what is expected to be a bitter reappc. tionment fight at the 1991 Gen era] Assembly session. With a Republican governor holding the power of veto, the OOP’s hand would be immensely strengthened. But if Mr. Wilder is governor, the redistricting dose handed Republicans by the Democratic majority will amount to a poison pill. Whatever the outcome, a Dalton victory for lieutenant governor, coupled with an expected re-election win by Democratic Atty. Gen. Mary Sue Terry, would set the stage for a 1993 clash for governor between two women, a quantum leap forward for feminism in s state that never came close to ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment for women. Those who thir^k that Andy Guest can’t be a future key player are wrong because he can be if the wants to. The question is whether he 11 want to after his recent experience in statewide politics.

Library architect named By MARY JAMIESON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Library Board has announced that the architectural firm of McClintock and Associates of Harrisonburg has been selected to develop plans for the new' public library. The Library Board plans to build a new library on land donated by Dean Morehouse on Route 211 just outside the Washington town limits. “The planning stage is now,” according to one member of the library’s board. Librarian Dee Brents said of the proposed move, “knowing that many county residents have a real affection for the library and haye many good ideas concerning how our new structure can and should function, we want to make it possible for them to have this input.” She said that the library has mounted a suggestion box on the librarian’s desk into which all suggestions for the project may be put. “They do not have to be formally expressed. Suggestions may also be mailed to the library.” All suggestions will be forwarded to the pro ject’s architect for consideration. McClintock and Associates is a long-established firm with an excellent reputation which has extensive experience in institutional building design throughout north and central Virginia. Dwight Matthews, the firm’s representative who will be directly responsible for developing the design, is a resident of Flint Hill. “He is keenly interested in both the county and our library building project," said one member of the library board. Mrs. Brents added, “We are all sad at the prospect, a couple of years down the road, of having to leave be hind our beloved Gay St. library building. But the rapid growth in usage - now about 18,000 volumes circulated each year — necessitates a larger building to serve our county. We hope that together we can all build a beautiful, welcoming, efficient and up-to-date library of which we shall be proud.” In addition to the suggestion box, a questionaire developed by the Friends of the Library is being cir-> culated to determine the desires and needs of the county’s residents concerning the library’s services. These should be filled out and returned to the library, Mrs. Brents said. Angus breeders recognized J. Newbill Miller and Hodge Miller of Washington and Robert P. Anderson of Woodville have been recognized nationally by the American Angus Association for having registered Angus cows included in the American Angus Association’s 1989 Pathfinder Report. Only 885 of the more than 24,000 members of the American Angus Association are represented in this year’s report, according to Richard Spader, executive vice president of the American Angus Association with headquarters in St. Joseph, Missouri. Mr. Anderson had three cows included in the report, while the Millers registered one each. The Pathfinder Program identifies superior Angus cows based upon recorded performance traits that are economically important to efficient beef production. These traits include regular calving and heavy weaning weights, reports John Crouch, director of performance programs for the American Angus Association. All registered Angus cows that meet the strict Pathfinder Report which is published annually by the American Angus Association. The 1989 Pathfinder Report lists 3,438 individual cows. It is published in the May issue of the Angus Jour nal and extra copies are available from the American Angus Association. The largest number of Pathfinder cows from a single herd this year is 100, and several hundred breeders have a single cow that qualifies for the exclusive listing.

It is scheduled for Saturday. May Id at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School. "Many people don't realize," said pageant chairman Sherry Johnson, that this event is the biggest single fund-raiser for the squad each year.” • Mrs. Johnson added that the event will have a special significance this year since the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad is celebrating its 20th anniversary. She said that during the past years, she has received numerous siggestions and complaints from participants and their families. “1 certainly appreciate these construct ve criticisms and suggestions. \ Without them, we could not learn How to improve this event and make i| one we can all be proud to be involved in and enjoy having our daughters participate in." ‘ In past years, Mrs. Johnson said, judges have been invited who are not Rappahannock County residents and who are not related to or connected with the participants. "This has not always been easy due to interest and last minute cancellations." This year, the judges will be invited and selected by someone not connected with the pageant. Also new this year, Mrs. Johnson said, is a procedure whereby the ballots will be tallied by an independent person not affiliated with the pageant. Both these changes, she said, are being made to address concerns about fairness voiced by some of the participants. This year, the pageant will move from its long-time site at the elementary school to the new auditorium at Rappahannock County High School. “I sincerely thank Mrs. Piper and all the people involved at the elementary school for their wonderful support and gracious help in the past,” Mrs. Johnson said. As always, the contest will be open to all Rappahannock County residents between the ages of two and 21. The mother/daughter division, added last year, proved to be popular and will return this year. And, Mrs. Johnson added, the proceeds from the event are returned to the community in the form of the services provided by the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad.

'Gorillas in the Mist' The movie Gorillas in the Mist will be playing at the Gay Street Theater on Saturday and Sunday, April 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. each evenirig. 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 one-woman 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 $3 for adults and $2 for children. RSTA to meet The Rappahannock Save the Animals (RSTA) will hold their first meeting on Friday, May 5 at the Courthouse at 7 p.m. Any interested persons are urged to attend. “This is your chance to help do something,” said an organizer.

When we go to play a team, they’ll laugh at us and their fans taunt us. Sometimes it upsets my girls, but I’ve also been using it as ammunition to fire them up,” Mrs. Leake said. The Lady Panthers may not have the respect of all their peers, but two teams that won’t take them ightly again are the Brentsville Timers and the Stonewall Jackson Generals. RCHS stormed over the Tigers, 19-4, on Friday, April 14, be'ore returning home to Sperryville )n the 17th and whipping Stonewall 11-3. When Rappahannock arrived at Brentsville, the Lady Tigers were sunning themselves in the outfield. The Panthers warmed up while the Brentsville girls entertained themselves with jokes about various RCHS players. When Mrs. Leake asked BCHS if they wanted the field to warm-up before the game they laughed. “Go ahead and use it. We’ve practiced enough,” was the reply from the cocky Tigers. Deena Hitt began the game with a line drive single. The next two Panther batters, flustered by the Tigers’ verbal attack, made outs. After a little pep talk from coach Leake, Sherron Boddie scored Hitt with a single. Amy Nokes advanced Boddie with a smash into right field, and Karen Payne hit Sherron home for a 2-0 lead. Rappahannock showed signs of nervousness in the field in the opening inning and allowed Brentsville to even the game at 2-2. In the next three and a half innings the Panthers slowly built an 8-4 lead. In the fifth, Rappahannock’s queens of swat put together their best offensive series of the year, scoring eleven runs before darkness stopped play. The offensive explosion was the result of hard hitting that forced numerous Tiger errors. The speedy Panthers also racked up 16 stolen bases. On the mound for Rappahannock, Amy Nokes limited BCHS to four hits. “She had a lot of control, Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan LEADING THE PANTHERS to victory last week, pitcher Amy Nokes’s control has been one of the keys to the team’s 3-3 record so far this season. Behind her is first baseman Sherron Boddie, who is also having a good spring in her first year with the Panthers. which is what we need. Because if the ball’s hit, our defense will get the out,” said Mrs. Leake. Boddie and Hitt led RCHS at the plate going three-for-five. All of Rappahannock’s starters scored and evryone played in the 19-4 win. Against Stonewall the Panthers were forced once again to overcome the early jitters. Both squads w ere three-up, three-down in the first inning. In the top of the second the Generals tallied their only runs of the game. Two of the runs could have been outs but Rappahannock’s catcher, Angela Pullen, couldn’t get a grip on the ball. The nervous youngster was thrust into the starting role when Beth Conover broke her thumb in the win against Luray. “Angela is working hard and improving with every game,” said Mrs. Leake. In the bottom of the inning RCHS narrowed the gap. Nokes began the run with a walk. Two outs later Dana Fincham blasted the ball to centerfield and Nokes scored. Jan Dodson, playing in her first game, knocked in Fincham with a single. Trailing 3-2, Rappahannock tightened its defense and eliminated any opportunity for the Generals to score the remainder of the match. The Panthers surged ahead when Wines singled and Dodson walked. With two out Dawn Johnson hit a fly ball to right field that the Stonewall player couldn’t handle and Wines crossed home plate, evening the score. Donna Foster reached first on an error on the second baseman and Dodson scored for a 5-4 lead. Boddie singled in Johnson before the inning was over and the RCGS felines never looked back. Rappahannock is 3-3 on the season. “If we can start playing the whole game the way we’ve been playing the bottom four innings, we should win a lot more. We are always real nervous in the beginning,-” said Mrs. Leake. RCHS was disciplined at the plate and only struck out two times, down from their average of seven at the start of the season. “We are playing well as a teaih and I’m not just talking about this nine that are on the field. As a coach I don’t always look for players with great physical abilities; instead 1 look for attitudes. I’ve got 15 great attitudes! The bench is always enthusiastic. They are always in the game yelling and making up cheerfc, and that helps a lot,” Mrs. Leake noted. One of the keys to the blue and gold’s success has been Amy Nokes. The junior hurler had a perfect game on the mound, giving up only one earned run, striking out two, arid walking none. Stonewall had been averaging ten runs a game but according to their coach, Tim Miiinich, “The girl mesmerized us.” Unlike most district pitched, j Nokes does not throw windmill style. Instead she has sacrificed speed for accuracy and starts her delivery from behind her back. “I used to pitch windmill, but I didn’t have enough control. A lot of times teams have trouble hitting off me becausb they’re not used to the way I throw,. And if they do get a hit, our defense is so good that they will get the out,-’ Nokes explained.

Rappahannock catches the early season stumbles By JOE MCCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Special Writer Failure to make big plays and an inability to hold on to the lead has been costly to the Rappahannock baseball team this year. The Panthers dropped their record to 1-3 over the week with one game suspended in the top of the eighth due to darkness. RCHS trailed that one 15-12 at home; the game will resume Friday, April 21, at Stonewall Jackson prior to the regularly scheduled 7:30 contest. On the road, the Panthers came out flat against host Brentsville Tigers and fell 6-2. In the April 14 match, Rappahannock's first three batters were retired in the opening inning, two on strikes. The Panthers were scoreless until the fourth when Doug Smith got on with a single. Danny Ellis advanced Smith with a double, and Julian Groves knocked him in with a sacrifice fly. RCHS scored again in the fifth when Anthony Porter hit another sacrifice, driving in Bill Atkins. The Rappahannock boys were five-for-24 at the plate and struck out nine times. The game’s turning point came earlier in the second inning when the scoreboard was still blank. John Brown and Jamie Walters collided in center field while pursuing a “catchable” ball; three runs scored. “It was a loss for us at the plate and mentally,” said coach Gary Leake. Both boys had to leave the game. Brown had a loose tooth and a busted lip, Walters sustained a knee injury that will keep him out for over a week. The play was indicative of the Panthers’ early season woes. “We’ve had poor execution, we’re missing signals, and there’s no communication on the field or the bench. So far, we just don’t have that baseball intuition,” said Coach Leake. But he also expressed confidence the team would get it together after a few more games in time for the second half of the season and a strong finish in district competition. Against Stonewall at home on Tuesday, April 17, the Panthers squandered numerous opportunities for the win before the eighth inning. With the score tied at 12 the Generals combined a single, double, and triple for a three run lead. Then, afraid the game would be called due to darkness and the score would go back to the last complete inning (seventh), SJHS coach Mike Bocock told his players to commit the final three outs in a hurry so Rappahannock could bat and the game couldn’t be halted. “Bocock must have forgotten the rule change two years ago that sought to keep teams from doing this. The ruling is: if a game is called because of darkness, it is picked up where it left off when play Continues,” Coach Leake explained. He said that the change was made to keep coaches from taking the game out of the players’ hands and waging Northern Virginia Quality — Plus Cow Sale April 22,1989 1:00 p.m. Fauquier Livestock Exchange Marshall, Virginia 22115 • bO Commeroij lows (mushy Angus Angus Cross.

Following their coach’s instructions, the Generals in turn either stepped off the base to be tagged out or swung at wild pitches. Coach Leake countered by stalling the game. “I think we’re better off finishing on Friday because we wouldn’t have been able to see the ball well enough to hit. And Stonewall has to go with the same lineup, which means Abe Moomaw’s got to pitch. He’s their ace and they’ve got two games before Friday, so he could be tired when we see him again,” the coach said. The Generals converted off two Panther errors in their first time at bat, one on a misjudged fly ball by centerfielder Bill Atkins, and took a 3-0 lead. Atkins, determined to make amends, started RCHS with a double. Groves got on base courtesy of a booted ball by Stonewall’s shortstop. When Stonewall tried to catch Groves stealing second, Atkins stole home. Philip Daczewitz, Porter, and Smith followed with run scoring singles for a 4-3 edge. The Generals regained the lead, 5-4, in the second only to lose it when RCHS batted, 6-5. In the third SJHS tied the score, but with bases loaded Wesley Jenkins laid down a suicide squeeze scoring Ellis, 7-6. Rappahannock came close to getting the top three hitters for Stonewall in the fourth but Ellis misfired on two routine throws to fifst and Stonewall tied it again. Rappahannock scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth. Groves tallied the first when Daczewitz laced the ball up the middle. With men on second and third the Panthers struck out twice. Jenkins preserved the rally with a towering double and a 12-7 lead. Mike Payne got the Panthers out of the fifth unscathed with a catch against the fence, but the Generals gave RCHS its first dose of strong defense when Abe Moomaw came in for relief and retired the first three batters. It was the first inning Rappahannock failed to score. Philip Daczewitz, who had five strong innings on the mound for the Panthers, was replaced by Ellis with the bases loaded and no outs. Ellis gave up a hit and walked in a runner before Coach Leake went to the bullpen for his stalwart moundsman, Doug Smith. Smith got three strikouts to end the inning and the game was even at 12. In the sixth RCHS loaded the bases with no outs but Moomaw struck out Butler, Atkins' and Groves to dodge the bullet. In the seventh Smith got himself out of a hole again. With two outs and runners on first and third, he enticed the General batter to swing at air. But Moomaw retired the Panther side effortlessly, sending the See BASEBALL, p. lb GYPSY MOTH CONTROL NEW HORIZONS AVIATION, INC. a subsidiary of LEMARR TERMITE & PEST CONTROL, INC.

Brandy: Heart of the wine By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics Brandy is the spirit that is derived from wine. Over the years, people have referred to this fine spirit as the “heart of the wine,” “the water of life,” and “liquid gold.” During the last 15 years, brandy has come of age in America. Throughout the 1970’s, the consumption of brandy in the United States almost doubled. Brandy makers are looking for this trend to continue for some years to come. Being the only spirit made from grapes, brandy is making its greatest gains among the serious wine-drinking d ’t set, notably young adults. To be called simply “brandy” ii the United States, a product mus be made 100 percent from grapes The law required identification oi the label if any other base is used ie., peach brandy, apple brandy, o plum brandy. By law all brandy ii this country must be aged a mini mum of two years before bottling but most of the California brandie are left in wood a year or two longer Brandy brings out the flavor o all foods. More than just a light fruity distilled spirit, it is a versatile spice enhancing the flavors of manj dishes. As the liquid is heated and * begins to evaporate, so does the ali eohol, leaving the mellow essence of t the brandy behind. Remember to use the brandy as i you would any other new ingredient , at first - in moderation. You may r find that you like less, or quite a bit i more. Regardless of how you like it, brandy will add a touch of elegance to your culinary efforts from appe; tizers to desserts.

Keep tabs on earning record It'S easier now for people in the Rappahannock County area to find out if their earnings under Social Security are recorded correctly, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said. People can send for a free Personal Earnings and Benefit Statement (PEBES) which shows an annual breakout of earnings since 1951 to their Social Security record. Earnings before 1951 are summarized. When received, PEBES should ' be carefully examined. It should be compared to the taxpayer’s past tax returns and W-2 forms. If an error is found it should be corrected while the information is readily available, Mr. Hundley said. The usual rule is Do you agree, or disagree? Tell the editor what you think! "Letters" P.O.

A person can call the toll-free number shown on the PEBES for assistance in correcting the records. Because the earnings record is so important for Social Security benefits, a person should check his or her Social Security earnings record at least every three years to make sure that earnings are properly recorded. This will help insure a correct benefit amount in the future. Checking the earnings record is particularly important if a person changes jobs frequently or works at more than one job, if he or she works in very small businesses, or is selfemployed, Mr. Hundley said. To get a PEBES, a person should request and complete Form SSA7004, Request for Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement, by writing to: Consumer Information Center, Department 55, Pueblo, Colorado 81009, or by calling Social Security. For other information, contact the Culpeper Social Security office. The telephone number is (703) 8253500.

Some of the content of this film is inappropriate for children, so babysitting will be available at the meeting. Parent’s Music Resource Center is a non-profit organization founded in May, 1985 to address the issue of lyrics in some popular music whigh glorifies graphic sex and violence and glamorizes the use of drugs and alcohol.

Letter Continued from page 1 farmer tells me that times are changing for agriculture in our county.” (Mr. Foster’s quote, contained in an interview in the Jan. 5, 1989 issue of the Rappahannock News, was: “You’ve got to have volume to buy big equipment that can offset your manpower problems . . . There’s no future for farming here, ‘lessin’ you’re into farming big. These little farms we have in Rappahannock — there’s no way they can keep going.” The buyer of Mr. Foster’s 302-acre farm. Alfred Kummli of The Plains, plans to keep the Foster property in agriculture, according to Mr. Foster. He has about 900 acres in Rappahannock County, and will move his cattle operation here. In the interview Mr. Foster said he had offers from developers, “but I didn’t want to see the land grow up in houses.”) Col. Bingham called the breakup of large farms into smaller operations which supplement the owners’ primary income, “a form of natural development, development that is healthy for the County as indicated by the 40 percent increase in farm products sold. Baseoaii Continued from page 9 game into extra innings. With darkness approaching, the umpires informed the coaches that the eighth would be the last. Stonewall committed four more errors than the Panthers, but Rappahannock’s mistakes came at the most inopportune moments. “We’re just not making the big plays right now. It’s not an individual thing, everyone can do better and knows it. On the bright side of things, each player says to himself, ‘If I do one more thing right, we can wan more ball games.’ Right now we aren’t making good throws after we field the ball, but all aspects of the game can improve — and will,” Coach Leake promised. The Panthers are at home Thursday, April 20, against the George Mason Mustangs. They follow that with a trip to Mt. Jackson Friday to complete the game halted Monday, after which they will play a regularly scheduled game against the Generals under the lights at Stonewall Jackson High School. “People who believe implicitly in laws and sausages should never watch them being made.” - Winston Churchill “On the surface this seems encouraging,” Col. Bingham’s letter continues, “and this is the very reason I made an issue of the outdated statistics. What has happened over the past five years? Without current data we can only conclude that agriculture in the County, although still significant, is now in third place behind real estate and retail sales.” He noted that a 1975 USD A report placed real estate at the top of the list of business activity in the county, and pointed to a recent Washington Post article which quoted University of Virginia researchers as calling finance, insurance and real estate the largest single economic sector in the Commonwealth. Quoting the language of the Comprehensive Plan, Col. Bingham said, “the plan is a tool by which County citizens, in conjunction with the local governing body ask, ‘Where do we go from here, what do we become?’ “How can we tell our citizens, ‘What, When, Where, How and Why,’ when We do not know where we are ourselves?” he asked. “The only thing that I can glean from our present comprehensive plan are more restrictions placed on our citizens without any data to warrant those restrictions. 1 consider this an abusive use of our police powers." “Historically," Col. Bingham maintained, farmers have used their land as “Social Security for his golden years or when his farm is no longer a viable business.” Because they love the land, he said, farmers would prefer to sell off small parcels over time, “to sustain their quality of life, independence and self-respect over the years.” The restrictions placed on subdivision by the county’s ordinances. Col. Bingham charged, “unrealistically den(ies) landowners their rights under the ‘Bundle of Rights' associated with ownership of their land. The unrealistic use of our police powers in this case simply forces the farmer to sell all his land at one time thus denying him top value over the years.” Col. Bingham said that he, like most who live here, would like to see INCORPORATED State Graded Yearling Steers & Heifers Sale July 16, 7 p.m. Consignment Welcome Please contact Mrs. Rucker FAT CATTLE 1st Tues.. 1 D.m.

CUP AND SAVE THIS AD the county maintain its character. “However, I must also accept reality and this tells me that change is inevitable.” He charged that the county will be unprepared for those inevitable changes, “because of our inability to set realistic goals ...” Comparing the county to a jewel, Col. Bingham continued, “unfortunately the very wealthy collect jewels. The very wealthy that I refer to are the investors and developers who can afford to buy large tracts of land for speculation.” To think that they are buying the land to preserve its scenic beauty and rural character is “foolish if not very dangerous thinking,” Col. Bingham continued. Investors and developers are the big threat to the county, he said, not the small landowners who desire to cut off pieces of their land to sell. “This is what I consider natural growth." He charged that the comprehensive plan, as approved, violates the Code of Virginia and its provisions that the plan “shall" be written with the purpose of guiding future development and “in accordance with present and probable future needs and resources ...” If we fail to comply . . . the courts will take our land from us when the investors/developers are ready to start building houses.” Calling the best defense, “a blistering and rapid offence." Col. Bingham called for the elimination of tax incentives on all investment property held in the county. Noting that Col. E. P. Luke has begun compiling a master list of such properties. Col. Bingham said he intends to propose to the board that Col. Luke be granted some funding to pursue the study. “We must first determine the magnitude of the problem then the possible solutions to the problem,” he said. Wreck Continued from page 1 once the cargo was discovered to be an unknown chemical, the decision was made to treat it as hazardous until it was determined otherwise. Finally, Chief Wayland said, the cargo was found to be polyglycol, a food and perfume additive which is slightly toxic to the skin if it is absorbed in large amounts. A hazardous materials team from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services office in Culpeper came to the scene and investigated the truck’s cargo. After the drums were found to contain a relatively non-hazardous material. Chief Wayland said, the firefighters and haz-mat investigators decided to leave the truck there until a company could be contacted to remove the polyglycol containers. The wreckage sat on the roadside all day Monday surrounded by bright orange safety cones. A small pool of diesel fuel which leaked from the truck was contained by an earthen dike shoveled up by the firefighters. The drums containing the chemical were apparently not damaged in the accident, but were thrown about by the impact and lay in a heap in the front of the trailer. They were removed from the trailer on Monday evening and the rig was towed away early Tuesday morning. About 50 firefighters and rescue personnel from Sperryville, Washington, Amissville, Salem and Luray volunteer fire departments responded to the accident scene with equipment to free the trapped driver.

A.R. #551 ment was not needed, but members of the county’s fire and rescue services who are familiar with truck accidents and hazardous materials incidents stressed that a cautious approach is necessary. “One of our worst nightmares is an accident like that on the mountain -- especially one involving multiple casualties,” one Sperryville volunteer said. “Add in the possibility of hazardous materials and it could turn into a real disaster.” Reading Continued from page 3 $20,000 in state aid, I)r, Gangel said, but he added that he expects that the schools will be able to get through the year with the lower amount. Assistant Superintendant Robert Chappell said he had requested that Potomac Edison reimburse the school system $1,665.67 for expenses resulting from equipment damaged during a power surge in early January. Me also reported that a leak in the elementary school gymnasium has been fixed, but that another in an elementary classroom which had already been repaired once this year had started again. The Shen-Valley Company, which put on the new elementary school roof has been “very responsive," he said. Following an executive session, the Hoard accepted the resignations of Cathy Ashanky and Theresa McGradv for the end of the school year, and reappointed other teachers for next year.

But if you get there and don’t have what you need, you’re up the creek.” A critique of the incident was scheduled for Tuesday, April 18 at the Sperryville fire hall.
