Hillsdale will be the first of the 10 retailers in the county to get a terminal, but Ms. Otto said another could be added if sales warrant it.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE SCALE MODEL (above) and artist’s rendering of the new library building, by architect Dwight Mathews. Library debates conflicting needs By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Is additional space for books in the library more important than having a multi-purpose meeting room? That was one of the questions debated at last Thursday’s joint meeting of the Library Board and the Friends of the Rappahannock Library. The meeting was intended to give the public its first look at the plans for the new library The 5,000 square foot building will be constructed on two acres of land donated by Dean Morehouse on Route 211 just outside Washington, across from the county park. Architect Dwight Mathews, of McClintock and Associates, designed the building in three sections. At the end closest to Route 683, the county road paralleling Route 211 where the entrance will be located, Mr. Mathews proposes a multi-purpose meeting room. “The idea of a barn generated the shape at this end of the building,” Mr. Mathews said. This room could function separately from the rest of the building, he added. "The gallery picked up from the shape of the barn i*uns the length of the library,” he said. “This gives us the opportunity to bring light down into the building, not direct light, more defused light,” he explained. As you enter the main library area. r the collection and . reading area would be on the left, the work area on the right. The new library would then be “three 1,500 square-foot spaces tied together by the gallery,” Mr. Mathews explained. Mr. Mathew's said that the location of the building and the windows in the reading area would take maximum advantage of the view. “There are views everythere,” he said. “One request, made perhaps in fun, perhaps seriously was for a fireplace to give the atmosphere of a lodge,” he said. That w'as taken care of with the plan for a fireplace at the far end of the reading area. Before Mr. Mathews’s presentation and public comments, Library Board Chairman Dr. William Young said that the original gift from Mr. Morehouse had left a strip behind the building, 45 feet wide and several hundred feet long. When the driveway was planned the board found that it was “extending beyond the land we would own." He said when he explained this to Mr. Morehouse, Mr. Morehouse offered to donate the extra land. Now the gift is for 2.45 acres. “This gives us additional matching funds for wherever we go for money," he explained. Dr. Young said that the effort to qualify in time for Federal funds to See LIBRARY, p. 15 With $38K cut, school budge"! wins approvalX By SHARON KILPATRICK Kappahunmxk Staff \\ rilt-r An additional $.’1n.<29 was cut from next year’s school budget before it was approved at Monday's regular meeting of the Board of Supervisor.--. This represents an additional 1.1 cents off the real estate tax rate, which is now just unejer 70 cents per $10o of a.-.-e.-sed value. The supervisors recommended that the cuts come from reducing the raises for classified employees from eight to five percent for a $1.7.000 -a' me.-, a reduction in the appropriation for the cafeteria fund of'$22,000 and another $1,729 which was a consequence of earlier cuts. On a motion by Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham and seconded by Hampton District representative Mike Massie, the board then approved an appropriation for the schools of $4,22t\dH2. thus passing the school budget by the bottom line rather than by category. Col. Bingham said he had checked with the Virginia Employment Commission and “m the area of classified salaries we are very competitive." He said a new studyshows that Virginia as a state is near the bottom in the nation in scores on SAT tests. "We’re trying to do the best we can, and we’re on the right track,” he said. “I expect to see additional emphasis coming out of the nation’s capital. The technology race is moving so fast, and people are so mobile in our country, we can t emphasize education enough. If we don’t, we re condemning the younger generation to economic slavery. But this is realistic when you look at the whole picture."' Mr. Massie said the supervisors had tried to consider the priorities set by Superintendent David Gangel when dealing with the budget. On the new instructional objectives the supervisors recommended no cuts. Thev approved eight percent raises tor teachers and administrators, but recommended other raises be held to five percent in line with other raises in the state, and on benefits they had recommended an increase to $1,000 per employee for health insurance. “1 would support a bottom line appropriation," he said. Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said, "I would support a bottom-line cut too. and let Dr. Gangel cut where he sees fit." Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said, “1 also wall go along with a bottom line figure. It's a tough year for us. Tax dollars are a priority." The supervisors next moved to con-ddering the proposed swap of the County Library for the Town Hall. "As far as I know the town still wants the library." County Administrator John McCarthy said. "The town is discussing with the Historical Society ways for them to make use of the building, but that’s not part of what is involved in the sale of the library and town Hall." The town has agreed to pay $150,000 for the library, and the Library Board needs the money by July 1 to qualify for Federal funds, Mr. McCarthy said. The county would not purchase the Town Hall until the next fiscal year. Now. he said, the town is looking for a better than three for two swap “because they say the county is enjoying the use of the money for a year, but I'd understood that was part of the deal. ” Another consideration still to be resolved concerns the dead end of Jett St. which runs between the Town See BUDGET, p. 15 Jail addition on hold for consultant's review By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Architectural Review Board wants an opinion from its consulting architect before it approves the county’s plans for an addition to the jail. That’s what Board Chairman Carol Miller told County Administrator John McCarthy after the ARB reviewed the architect’s drawings for the addition. Mrs. Miller said the plans w'ould be sent to Whayne Haffler, an architect and Flint Hill resident who has consulted for the board on other projects, most recently The Meadows addition. “We’d like to have it resolved soon,” Mr. McCarthy told the ARB members at their meeting April 28. “It is an integral part of the county’s budget process.” Though the county does not expect to begin construction immediately, he explained, if the ARB finds the plans unacceptable then the projected costs for construction could be reduced or eliminated from next year’s budget, which is now under consideration. The board has scheduled the project so that all bills will be paid from next year’s budget, he said, but the money must be allocated now since the Board of Supervisors must approve the final figures by July 1. He said he has already sent copies of the drawings and photos of the existing structure to John Wells, an architectural historian with the Division of Historic Landmarks of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Historic Resources. Mr. Wells was also brought to Washington by the ARB as a consultant on The Meadows last month. “This is a historic building," Mrs. Miller replied, “a very old building. We must apply the same standards to the county as to an individual.” While agreeing that the ARB must treat each application the same, Mr. McCarthy added, “I just hope that it is not treated like some other historic buildings. Through the grapevine I have See ARB, p. 14 Board concerned over delay of jail project By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy reported to the Board of Supervisors Monday the news that Washington’s Architectural Review Board has requested an opinion from its consultant before it approves the design for the jail addition. Mr. McCarthy summarized his meeting with the town’s Architectural Review Board last Thursday, when they reviewed the exterior plans page by page and heard Mr. McCarthy explain the planned changes to the existing outbuilding. He said he had discussed the plans with them "a couple of months ago” and asked the three-member board if they had any problem with the proposal. They indicated that they couldn’t respond formally because the county hadn’t formally applied, but they could foresee no objections to the county’s plans then, Mr. McCarthy said. "With the recent concerns about The Meadow.', they ashed that the plans be forwarded to their experts," Mr. McCarthy said. He told the supervisors that he had already sent the plans to John Wells, an architectural Historian with the Division of Historic Landmarks. He said that Mr. Wells had received the plans but hadn't reviewed them. "In discussing the matter 1 tried to make my position dear," Mr. McCarthy said. “1 feel that the jail chimneys tire not comparable to The Meadows chimneys. At The Meadows the chimneys make the building w hat it is. At the jail the exercise yard makes the building what it is,” he said. He said in discussions members of the ARB had indicated they wanted to use the addition to "mitigate the effects of the exercise yard.” Mr. McCarthy said he would meet again with the ARB "whenever they have the opinions of their experts. See JAIL, p. 20 Quiet diplomacy leads to removal of offensive movies By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Something remarkable happened in Sperryville several months ago. Panorama Video stopped renting X-rated movies. That in itself was not remarkable. Some other stores have done the same thing. Other video stores have never stocked the movies; which, due to their content (usually graphic nudity and sex or violence) can only be rented by adults. What was remarkable was how a Small group of town residents, working quietly, convinced owner Brenda Sickles to take the movies out of circulation. In nearby towns, including Culpeper and Warrenton, stores renting X-rated movies have been the focus of picketing, complaints by residents and criminal charges by prosecutors, as well as civil court actions. Some of those methods have been successful, and the stores have withdrawn the offending movies from their stores. Other businesses have chosen to fight the citizens' groups, thus guaranteeing a lengthy and rancorous debate inside and outside the courtroom, and hefty legal bills for both the eventual winners and losers. None of those avenues w ere chosen by the Sperryville group, led by Tom Von Fange and Jon Heddleston. Quiet diplomacy was the road to their success. They talked with Mrs. Sickles, emphasizing that they felt that the X-rated videos w ere not the type of entertainment which should be available in a small community like Sperryville. After hearing their arguments, she agreed. She sold the tapes to the group, which destroyed them. And she signed an agreement that she would not restock the adult tapes. "They approached me in the right way,” Mrs. Sickles said of her decision to remove the movies. “I respected Jon, and the way he approached me. There was no conflict . . . They didn’t try to shove their views down my throat.” And, Mrs. Sickles acfded, "it was no loss. The tapes didn’t bring me that much income - especially when I agree with them.” “Most people don’t even think about X-rated movies,” Mr. Von Fange said. They don’t realize how easily available they are, even in a small, some would say sheltered community like Rappahannock. ' “It would be a scary thing to go into a local store and see Playboy or Penthouse magazine,” he said. “That’s not the case in Rappahannock County, where the country See VIDEOS, p. 20

Gov. Baliles' plan snubbed as Assembly adopts tax relief By MARY K. BLEWITT .Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The 1989 General Assembly approved legislation last week that provides an income exclusion of up to $16,000 of retirement income for taxpayers 55 years of age and up. The $69 million plan is a product of the four-day special session called by Gov. Gerald L. Rallies to resolve the pension tax dilemma. The sun had set in Richmond April 28 when Virginia lawmakers finally passed the proposal submitted by the House-Senate conference committee. That morning, when the General Assembly convened, most members expected to be on their way home by noon; but Richmond’s rush-hour traffic had waned before the Assembly reviewed the plan that eventually passed. Under the legislation, about 350,000 private and federal retirees will receive a tax break for the first time. However, about six percent of state and local government retirees will be taxed for the first time in almost half of a century. Four out of five pensioners will receive full and immediate relief under the compromise plan. Taxpayers whose retirement income is $16,000 or less are entitled to tax-free pension benefits. For those retirees with between $16,000 and $40,000 retirement income, the tax break is phased out $1 for each $3 of retirement income over the $16,000. Retirees making more than $16,000 are not, however, entitled to their full benefit this year.

We’re here to help Complete benefits will be phased in over the next three years with pensioners receiving 50 percent of theirbenefit in 1989, 75 percent of their benefit in 1990, and 100 percent in 1991. For example, a pensioner with $22,000 in retirement income would be entitled to a $7,000 benefit this year, $10,500 next year, and the full $14,000 subtraction beginning in 1991. Social Security benefits remain exempt under the plan. In addition, a $3,000 income exclusion for filers who do not received social security is scheduled to go into effect January 1, 1990. Also, the existing age credit for taxpayers 62 years or older, having less that $2,000 retirement income, is retained. The pension tax plan will cost the state $69 million this year and $80.4 million next year. In 1991, with the benefits at 100 percent, the cost iscalculated by the State Department of Finance at $87.6 million. The funds for this year will be taken from the $70.7 million Revenue Reserve Fund set up by the Assembly during the regular '89 session. "I don’t know what more you could ask the conferees to do for you,” Del C. Richard Cranwell, D14th District, told the House after he and the other conferees had labored throughout the day to reach a solution. Many Republicans argued that a farther-reaching plan could be attained by delving into the budget rather than being hemmed in by the $70.7 million Revenue Reserve Fund. Even Lt. Gov. Douglas L. Wilder, calling for fairness and equity said, “If we want to reach everybody, we’re not going to be able to stick to the Revenue Reserve. I think there are some projects in the Capitol Improvement Plan that aren’t immediate concerns.” House Minority Leader Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. was one of 10 delegates who voted against the conferees' programs. “I felt that if they wanted to give the equivalent of $10,000 as a subtraction, better to apply to everybody across the board,” said Guest. “(The plan) does not give relief to those people in the private sector who are in a non-approved plan. The people in retirement are making more money than many of the people I represent.” Guest added. Despite the dissatisfaction with the plan, more than half the Republican delegates voted in favor of the bill that passed the House, 81-16. The bill’s passage through the Senate was by less than a comfortable margin. Delegates lined the walls of the Senate chamber and watched from the balcony to see if.the constitutionally required 21 votes would be reached. The bill cleared the Senate 22-12 after bill supporters managed to gain two Democratic senators. "None of us is totally pleased or totally happy with the plan," admitted Sen. Charles L. Waddell, D33rd District, “but it was a responsible decision by the state legislature." Sen. Kevin G. Miller, R-26t.h District, a CPA, had his proposal of an $*,000 deduction to those 55-62 years of age turned down by the Senate. His efforts were not without some success, though. “It’s partly through my efforts that the over 62 age credit was not repealed,” said the delegate from Harrisonburg. Del. Kenneth R. Plum, D-36th District, supported the plan, saying, "A significant block of the public anti private retirees have been brought into the program. This does not have to be the final answer. We can do better in the future, and we probably will." The legislation was supported by the Virginia chapters of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, the Virginia Education Association, and the Retired Officers Association. Gov. Raliles announced, in a statement to the Assembly, his plans to sign the compromise bill into law, but added that he "worried about the scope and long-term financial consequences of your actions, particularly for my successor.” The governor’s proposal was a $16,000 “threshold” for taxing public and private retirement benefits. It was criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike as "the cliff' whereby those pensioners with $16,001 in benefits would be taxed in full. The pew plan has a more gradual drop, but still contains a cliff, an $8,000 drop in exclusion from the $40,000 to the $40,001 pension. A March 28 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled that states could not taxfederal retiree benefits while exempting state and local [tensioners. The decision required Virginia and 22 other states to restructure their pension tax programs to treat local, state and1 federal government retirees equally. The Assembly will return to the Capitol on June 7 to act on any amendments proposed by Gov. Baliles. HOMEGROWN HONDA.

Council to fill vacancy One pressing item on the Washington Town Council’s agenda next Wednesday is the election of a successor to former Councilman Nan Thomasson, who resigned in March. She moved out of town, and both she and her husband Jim, who served on the town’s Architectural Review Board, resigned. Mr. Thomasson has been replaced by Rob Parrish on the ARB. The council decided at its March meeting that the vacancy would not be filled immediately, and requested nominations be presented to the council at its April meeting. It set this month’s meeting for the elec tion. Four residents were suggested to the six council members for election to the vacant seat. Two are present members of other boards in the town, and the other two have expressed an interest in becoming involved in the town’s administration. Mark Bailey was nominated by Councilman Peter Skowronski at the council's March meeting. Mr. Skowronski called Mr. Bailey “a good candidate to reach the younger people in this town who make it their residence rather than anything else." Charles Eldred now serves as a member of the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals, which is inactive due to lack of work before it. He is a former member of the town council, and is frequently in the audience at council meetings. Reinhardt Lynch, one of the owners of The Inn at Little Washington, is presently a member of the town’s Planning Commission. He has twice sought election to the council, each each time unsuccessfully. Janice Moffett has lived in the town for 13 years. In a letter to the council she said she moved to the town because of the opportunity it offered in’raising a family, “where children could walk the streets safely, play in their own yards without fear, and actually know their neighbors.” The six members of the council will fill the vacant seat by election, rather than nomination of one person. The person elected will need a majority of votes from the council members present at the meeting, which will be held at the courthouse, beginning at 8 p.m. Call 675-3349 to place your ad IT'S MOTHERS DAY!!

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial Call for compromise “The Planning Commission did not say in the ' 'omprehensive Plan that we should concentrate our office pace needs in the Town of Washington. Our number one concern is education. I’d hate to see money taken from children to fulfill the whims of taste." That was the opinion of Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie, after the supervisors were told Monday that Washington’s Architectural Re-view Board has postponed its approval of the county's plan for an addition to the jail. It wants the opinion of its consulting architects as to the suitability of the addition to the historic.structure. Mr. Massie’s comment deserves serious thought and consideration. We hope that it is taken not as a threat, but as a call for accomodation between the county and the ARB. While we’re reserving judgement until the ARB announces its decision, it is plainly not in the county’s interest 1 o spend extra tax dollars its residents don’t have to redesign t he jail addition. There are also considerations beyond the additional expense. We agree that the jail is a historic building. But it is also a jail. There are security requirements, essential to the safety >f the law enforcement officers who work there, which might override aesthetic concerns. There is also the matter of the tenuous agreement >■ between Hampton Inn owner William Frizzell, who is now supplying meals for the jail’s inmates, and the county. Mr. Frizzell has asked for a 30-day notice provision in the contract, and has indicated that if the addition does not proceed on schedule that he will terminate the contract. The inmates must be fed, and even though it is more expensive to bring meals in, until the kitchen is completed the '■ounty has no choice. If Mr. Frizzell terminates the contract, In- county may be left without a foodservice supplier. Yes, the Town of Washington is a historic district, and ' here are certain aesthetic requirements which must be fulfilled. But the County of Rappahannock does not have unlimited resources. We hope that some accomodation can be wached between the wishes of the ARB that the historic ut.egrity of the town be preserved and the realistic, “bottom ■me” needs of the county, which has many more requests for money that it has resources available. With the county’s taxpayers facing a severe hike in taxes “his year, any suggestions which would add appreciably to the taxpayers' burden must be justified — beyond, in Mr. MassieV words, "the whims of taste.” ^00 K 2 S OPERATION BIG SWAP Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mafe^j WITH ONE OF HIS 92 varieties ot apples blooming behind him, Mel Nauman of Flint Hill enjoys his orchard. Letters to the editor 2—----- '.'I', 'j/ Be kind to animals i u Liie euuor: Animal Humane Organizations set aside one week in May each year to draw attention to the public that all people should be kind to animals, hoping that this idea will take root in people’s mind and hearts that they should be kind and compassionate toward, and concerned tor the welfare of, all animals. In rural and urban areas animals are mostly thought of as dogs, cats, horses and farm animals. This year’s theme involves local animal care and control agencies and encourages potential pet owners to Is library/town hall swap really supported? To the editor: I was not at the public hearing about the proposed Library/Town Hall swap. However, your headline proclaiming public support for the swap and your lead statement about “near unanimity" are not supported by the article itself {Rappahannock S'cirs April 27). By your own report, two people didn’t want the library to move at all; two people wanted the Rappahannock Historical Society to get the library building: two, possibly three, people wanted the Golden Key Performance Company to have continued access to the Town Hall; one person wanted to be assured that the town would not limit the use of the library building to town functions only; Mr. Bingham wanted the whole matter re-studied (as usual); and, a lawyer for the Inn at Little Washington presented the Inn's case for buying the library itself. Only two people are quoted in support of the proposed swap: Colonel Luke objected to the Library falling into private hands and both he and Mr. McCarthy noted the County’s need for more office space and possibly, a second court room. Neither of their comments addressed the merits of the swap itself. Moreover, your article also makes the proposed swap look better than I think it is. The Town, you say, will use the money it would receive from the sale of the Town Hall to offset the higher price it would pay for the library building. But the fact is that the town would have to dig into its own pockets for $50,000 that I don’t believe it has in order to gain a building for which it has no discernible need. Worse still, if its Town Hall is really worth $100,000, the town would forgo any of the other things that $100,000 would buy. In any case, the notion of the Town of Washington owning a (office?) building worth $200,000 strikes me as a little absurd. Then you quote Mr. McCarthy as saying that the County would earmark the $150,000 it would receive from the sale of the library building towards the construction of a new library. Well, that’s fine for the library but the County would still have to dig into it’s own pockets for the $100,000 to pay for the Town Hall plus whatever additional amounts would be necessary to renovate the building; which amounts it doesn’t know because it doesn’t know exactly to what use the building would be put. At the same time, the county would have rejected a much more generous offer for the library building, presumably on the grounds the building should be kept in public hands. But the library building and its control would nonetheless end up belonging to the Town of Washington, which constitutes about five percent of the county. For once, Mr. Bingham is right. The matter should be restudied. A brief comment in closing: Mayor Morehouse seems a bit too defensive about the financial contributions that the Inn at Little Washington makes to the community. The fact is that the Inn does contribute, frequently and directly with contributions of food or gift certificates to community events, through the employment opportunities it offers, and through the money-spending outsiders it brings into the community. And as to what may be its biggest contribution, it may be true, as the Mayor asserts, that the Inn merely collects from its patrons the taxes the town has levied. And, thus it may be true that the money the town receives is not a “gift.” But neither the Inn nor its patrons receive from the Town of Washington much in the way of services. The net effect, then, is a substantial increase in the Town’s revenues that is not directly associated with an increase in its expenditures. It' seems to me that the owners of the Inn can quite logically think that they are important contributors to the financial health of the Town of Washington. W.

HARRISOtf Lost and Found Pet Registry Reva Scrutiny needed in governor's race To the editor: I read with great interest the article entitled “GOP Trio Headed for Self Destruction ” (Rappahannock News April 27) by Delegate Warren Stambaugh, who represents part of Arlington County as a Democratic member of the General Assembly. Throughout his article it is not mentioned that Mr. Stambaugh is looking at the Republican primary from the perspective of a Democratic officeholder. When finally Del. Stambaugh gets around to discussing his party’s probable nominee for the gubernatorial race, it’s in the third or fourth paragraph from the end. What struck me about those comments were that the probable nominee is chris-crossing the nation gathering and storing both money and support fQr the fall’s campaign. I am sure that nationwide there are many liberal Democrats like Mr. Stambaugh who would like to see Lt. Governor Wilder ascend to the Governor’s office without ever get ting into the discussion of eithf Wilder’s voting record or Wilder relative qualifications to hold tis job. Whoever the Republican nor nee turns out to be, he will run on 1_ record and his accomplishments a<&! will be scrutinized, I am sure, mcpt minutely by representatives of tl news media. I trust that in the inte est of fair and unbiased reportir the record and qualifications of__ Wilder will undergo the same scrutiny. In the same way that a candidate's race should not be usbd against him, certainly it should be a reason to vote for him. JustJ demands a full and fair evaluation* records and accomplishments.

Senate race could be a dandy By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer In Virginia, unlike most states, every election year is followed by another election year. And though the gubernatorial sweepstakes of 1989 is still very nrt$ch afoot, I hope I will be forgiven if,*like some Las Vegas bookie settjng future book odds, I turn my attrition briefly to 1990. Specifically, what might happen shpuld present Gov. Gerald Baliles decide to get the Democratic nomination and take on Republican indtimbent U.S. Senate John Warner. - It would certainly be Virginia’s most exciting and hard-fought senatorial contest since Sen. Warner, fallowing the tragic death in a plane dtash of candidate Richard Obenshain, took up the GOP mantle i®» 1978 and waged a pitch battle against Democrat Andrew P. Miller. If I were laying odds at this moment, I would make Warner a 7-5 favorite to defeat Baliles. But the odds sufficiently narrow to give Ba> a real chance of victory if ugh of the breaks went his way. It is fashionable at the moment to of the Governor’s recent self-ined scars in his botched handling $fthe Supreme Court ruling holding unconstitutional for states to (Kempt pensions of state and local t^piirees from state taxes while taxift the pensions of federal and militgfy retirees. ,A Gov. Baliles compounded the jpf>blem of his administration’s failto anticipate such a ruling by a fetily called special legislative ses|in that saw him present a plan to il with the situation that not even Society offers spring concert The Culpeper Piedmont Choral ^|»ciety’s annual spring concert will be given at the Orange Presbyterian Church, 162 W.

During that four-day session, the Baliles plan sunk with barely a trace and the Governor, who had gotten everything he sought in the first three years of his tenure, was left hanging in the wind. Yet the legislation finally enacted will grant relief to not only federal and military retirees but priyate pensioners as well; and still exempt from state taxation most of the pensions of state and local retirees. And the collective political memory often being a fleeting thing, by next year most of the damage done to Gov. Baliles will have worn off. After all, he is the man who will sign the tax relief measure into law and can take credit for that even if it wasn’t his wish. Except for a few recent glitches, Gov. Baliles will leave office as the most successful chief executive since Mills Godwin’s first term, and would be the Democratic Party’s most viable challenger to Sen. Warner. Sen. Warner, of course, remains immensely popular in polls, but is by no means without his own political problems. He has angered staunch conservatives with his vote against the confirmation of Robert Bork for the Supreme Court, and with what they regard as his tepid backing of former Texas Sen. John Tower for Secretary of Defense and his chummy ways with Sen. Sam Nunn, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Richmond Times-Dispatch and Richmond News-Leader, who generally set theTone for state conservative opinion, have taken to questioning Sen. Warner’s conservative credentials and whether he is really a Republican at heart. Then, too, some political analysts think that Sen. Warner has not established the kind of political organization that should serve as the foundation of his expected bid for reelection. He has few state operatives devoting themselves to the political considerations that would loom large in a tough senatorial campaign. Yet besides the good news of polls, he has other assets that will make him hard to beat. He is tremendously affable and likeable, has devoted himself diligently to senatorial duties despite the playboy image BARBARA S. MILLER, B.S., M.R.E., D.C.

Warner let it be known that he felt Fort Monroe, thought by man to be an outmoded base that had long ago outlived its usefulness, was still vital to the national defense, If Gov. Baliles decides to challenge Sen. Warner - and I’d put those odds at 50-50 - he can call on Sen. Charles S. Robb for help, cite his pragmatic efforts as Governor to solve crucial transportation and social problems, and hope the electorate has become disenchanted with President George Bush and Republicans in general. With name recognition equal to Sen. Warner’s, he would have a unified party behind him with a strong lust to pick up the other U.S. Senate seat in the w'ake of Robb’s 1988 demolition of the stranglehold held by the GOP on both Senate seats for a decade. Sen. Warner could suffer a little from his alienation of growing numbers of conservatives who consider him entirely too moderate and entirely too willing to play ball w7ith his Democratic colleagues. He has proven to be anything but the ideologue the state would have gotten had Dick Obenshain lived and been elected. Yet George Bush, Lee Atwater and a large majority of Virginia Republicans shudder at the thought of losing the Warner seat and will go to great lengths in terms of money and work to avoid such an eventuality. Sen. Warner might also be boosted by the “star” quality he radiates in contrast to the efficient and intellectual Baliles, who has never been accused of an overabundance of charisma. The Warner-Baliles match-up, if it developed, would be one to remember. and „the outcome would likely be very close. Republicans are naturally hoping the governor will opt to leave public service and quietly return to the private practice of law or seek some other occupation than Senator, for if he doesn't run, Warner’s re-election will be practically assured.

Soft-shells are pleasure of the season By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics . Signs that spring has arrived are finally here - beautiful spring flowers in full bloom, barbecue grills taken out of storage, and soft crabs beginning to appear in supermarkets and on menus everywhere. Treat yourself, your family, and friends to one of life’s greatest pleasures - grilled soft-shell crabs. Whether it be a great weekend outdoor seafood barbecue with friends or a terrific meal for the family after work, grilled soft crabs are quick, easy, and delicious. Crisp coleslaw, a baked potato, and a large pitcher of iced tea or lemonade are all you need to complete a meal. Serve the soft crabs on a soft roll with lettuce, tomato. and mayonnaise for a wonderful sandwich. To anyone who has eaten a softshell crab, the term “seafood delicacy" is an exact description. To those who have never tasted the crabs, it may at first take a little courage because you do eat almost the entire crab - legs and all. What exactly is a soft crab? It is a blue crab that has just moulted or backed out of its hard shell. They are a stage of the popular blue crab A which lives along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. If pulled from the water within three hours after "moulting." it will remain soft. Once cleaned, the entire crab is completely edible. About 90 percent of the total national catch of soft crabs comes from the Chesapeake Bay region. Although the crabs have been enjoyed for more than 100 years, it wasn’t until the arrival of air travel that fresh soft-shell crabs became available throughout t.he country. Crabs caught today will arrive in major cities the following morning. During the warm summer months, usually beginning about the end of April, the blue crabs emerge from their winter hybernation. They will begin feeding and growing. In order to grow, the blue crab must back out of its hard shell. The blue crab will shed as many as 28 times during its three-year lifespan. Watermen catch blue crabs in crab pots. They can determine how many days it will be before the crab will shed by noticing a color change on one of its swim fins. A white sigm indicates two weeks or less to moult; a pink sign, within a week; and a red sign, less than two days. It is very difficult to distinguish the color changes and only the skilled eyes of the watermen can see all three changes. Crabs will moult every 8-5 days when they are small and every 20-50 days when they are larger. Crabs near moulting are brought to shore and placed in floats which contain the same bay water. The floats are checked every three hours and any crabs that have moulted are removed. Left in the water, the shell will harden again and within two days, it will be a hard shell again. The season for soft crabs usually runs from mid-Mav to late September. To select the highest quality crabs, the best rule is to buy from a seafood retailer you trust. Allow 2-3 crabs per person, depending on the size. If you are buying them live, look for some movement when the crab is touched.

Rappahannock Journal Deer farmer plans to have his laugh last By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Arundel Newspapers Special Writer At the country store in Rappahannock County’s F T. Valley, the regulars who stop in the morning for coffee josh farm manager Charlie Jenkins about the livestock he’s raising at Piedmont Farms just down the road. “They laugh and call them goats and other things,” said the Rappahannock native who’s been supervising beef cattle and small grain operations for almost 25 years. He doesn’t take offense. For those accustomed to seeing fields of plodding Black Angus and Charlais steers, little fallow deer popping in their characteristic kangeroo hops across a pasture are a comical sight. The idea of raising such dainty looking animals for meat might seem a laughing matter to local farmers. But while Jenkins smiles along with the disbelievers, for the farm manager and his employer, Rolf Graage of Washington, I).C., this is no joke. With his partner, veterinarian Ray Hyde, Mr. Graage has upwards of $1.5 million invested in Virginia’s first deer farming venture. The 900-plus acres of Piedmont Farm cost $1,250,000, and the rest went for the reclamation of land and outbuildings, the purchase of stock, and the enclosure of 100 acres with special high tensile fencing designed by New Zealand deer farmers. “It’s capital intensive,” Mr. Graage acknowledged, but added that the outlay will be recouped through “a good cash flow.” lhe German-born businessman, who imports and exports automobiles from his office in Baltimore's World Trade Center, anticipates a gross of $1,750 per acre from the portion of the farm reserved for the deer. He said that will mean a net of $500 per acre after amortization of the initial investment in land, stock, and fencing, payment of taxes, purchase of feed, and other production expenses. That kind of profit margin will make a believer out of any traditional farmer who looks askance at deer. “There are too many variables involved to estimate the per acre income for Rappahannock’s standard agricultural enterprises of beef cattle, small grains, and apple orchards,” said county extension agent and farmer Tommy Williams. “The biggest factor is the cost of land. And there’s a huge variation in production costs. Some people just do a better job of farming than others, but I can tell you that no one’s making anything like $500 an acre." Farming everywhere is a risky proposition. Spiraling production costs, unstable markets, and the vagaries of weather bring floods at planting time when farmers don’t want rain and drought in the growing season when they do. In the outlying counties on the fringe of Northern Virginia's spreading suburbia, these risks are compounded by increasingly heavy development pressures. So for years now, agricultural specialists have preached innovation to farmers who want to survive. The results of those sermons include turf farms and Christmas tree farms, pick-your-own fruit and vegetable operations, vineyards, organically-grown beef, poultry, and lamb, shiitake mushroom farms, and truck gardens growing traditional and exotic produce for direct sales to consumers. But until Mr. Graage brought his fallow deer to Rappahannock County this winter, no one was actively pursuing deer farming. “There may be one of two fallow deer that were brought here in the back of a trailer, but this is the first real deer farming that I know of in the state. It is extremely exciting,” said Andy Hankins, the Virginia Extension Service’s alternative agriculture specialist based at State University in Petersburg. Mr. Hankins hopes soon to have a test herd of fallow deer at SU's Randolph Farm for veterinary, biological, and economic studies. He thinks venison could be another specialty crop for Virginia farmers who want a broader product list for the lucrative restaurant trade. “I don’t see deer meat being widely available in supermarkets. It’s a pricey item, more for the specialty gourmet shops and bigger chains and the white-tablecloth type restaurants,” said Mr. Hankins. “But farmraised venison is fine textured and really delicious so there’s an awful lot of consumption in those restau rants. Last year, the United States imported 450 tons of venison, “almost all of it from New Zealand,” Mr. Graage reported. The meat — primarily saddles and hind legs — represented about 25,000 animals. “There are only 25 active deer farmers in this country today, and I don’t think we produce more than 1,500 animals a year, so just to satisfy the current market and replace what’s brought here from New Zealand would take us 20 to 30 years of building up our herds,” said Mr. Graage. But he envisions a much larger export market, and so he and other members of the North American Deer Farmers Association are touting the financial opportunities in raising deer. “Germany imports over 12,000 tons of venison, even though they have 2,000 deer farms, and wild game is legally sold there,” he said, pointing out that North American producers would have lower freight costs and could therefore undercut the prices of New Zealanders who are now Europe’s major suppliers. In addition, he predicted a bigger domestic market as sophisticated American consumers come to appreciate farm raised venison, both for taste and health. Today, annual venison consumption per capita in the U.S. cannot even be measured in tenths of an ounce, despite its attraction of having one-third the cholesterol of beef. “Most people here who have tried venison have eaten the meat of wild deer,” Mr. Graage says. “Those animals are under enormous stress as they are hunted. "Their system is full of adrenalin which makes the meat tough. Often, the deer aren’t properly butchered in the field, and then the carcasses are left in the back of a pickup truck for hours in the sun. It’s no w onder the venison doesn’t taste so good.” Hunters also go after the trophy bucks, and the meat from these 10 and 12 year-old animals is tough, no Crabs Continued from page 11 blespoons lemon juice, salt, white pepper and cayenne.

Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan farm manager Charlie Jenkins has become a familiar sight matter what kind of care is taken in the stalking and butchering, Mr. Graage said. Farm-raised deer, on the other hand, go to market at 12-15 months and are slaughtered by professionals, producing venison which has a much milder taste and is “very, very tender.” “Look what’s happened over the last 10 years with cheeses and wines. Look at Perrier! I can see an absolutely enormous market ahead for venison,” he added. Particularly if the demand for venison grows, deer production could be one of the most lucrative of farming enterprises in the counties on the metropolitan fringe. According to the extension specialist in alternative agriculture, making a living from farming in the rapidly urbanizing Piedmont means finding a crop that requires less land while demanding a higher price. Deer farming satisfies both counts.

An average cow has eight breeding years, a good one 12. But a fallow doe will produce a fawn a year for 15 to 20 years, Mr. Graage says. And there s the question of labor.

Sports ond Outdoor Life Weather proves decisive as baseball games pile up By joe McCullough Rappahannock N*ws Special Wroter Mother Nature has added a little pressure in the Bull Run District this year. Due to foul weather at the start of the 1989 baseball season many teams saw limited outside practice. Rain continued to plague the district’s line up, forcing what Rappahannock coach Gary Leake calls an “incredible schedule for high school kids to have to play." With a week now remaining in the regular season, teams must squeeze in five to eight games. “Even the major league has days off!” Coach Leake complained. “It’s a lot to ask high school kids to play four games in five days. But you can’t blame anyone. The season was late starting because of the success of the basketball team. Weather has also hurt us.” Adding more pressure is the tight race for the district’s top four slots and a berth in the post-season tournament. Rappahannock is tied for fourth with the Clarke County Eagles. The Panthers lost their first game with the Eagles at home by one run in extra innings. They seek to avenge that setback on May 5 in Kerry vine. The Bull Run’s top three teams are Page, Stonewall Jackson, and Cerntral. Page is in first but even the rival Panthers don’t have a post season spot locked up. Brentsville and Strasburg are also, on the edge and stand ready to replace any team that falters.' For any of the top seven teams, winning the remainder of their games would put them in the tournament. RCHS could possibly win three of the last five games and make it; four victories would almost ensure an extended season. The Panthers split the four games they played last week. They began the week with a 5-3 loss to the Central Falcons; it wras their fourth consecutive extra inning contest. On April 26, the Rappahannock boys made it five extra inning games in a row, but this time the ball bounced the Panthers' way in a 6-5 victory over the Strasburg Rams. The following afternoon Rappahannock tallied another win, 8-1, THE RCHS BASEBALL TEAM is scrapping for the district tournament.

Then the next day the Panthers traveled to Woodstock for a 13-4 drubbing by the Central F alcons. Rappahannock completed a sweep of Strasburg in their home game on Wednesday, but it took a two-out eighth inning double by Anthony Porter and clutch pitching from Philip Daczewitz and Doug Smith before this game was a “W.” Both teams scored a run in the first inning and Strasburg added a second run in the third for a 2-1 lead. Rappahannock’s nine scored their first run on a double steal, and they used the same play in the third inning to even the score. Julian Groves stole second with Bill Atkins on third. The Rams were prepared for the play and cut off the throw to second, but the second baseman had trouble getting the ball out of his glove and Atkins was safe on his slide into home. Daczewitz capped the inning with a smash to the third baseman who couldn't handle the ball and Groves crossed home plate for the 3-2 lead. The Rams reclaimed the lead in the fourth, 4-3, and RCHS tied it in the bottom of the inning. In the fifth Strasburg caught Daczewitz in a rundown but instead of getting the out. the ball ended up in leftfield and the big first baseman scored the goahead run 5-4. A miscue by Panther outfielder Bill Atkins in the sixth allowed a Ram to score, knotting it up at 5-5. With two down in the bottom of the eighth and Jay Butler on second. Porter hit the game winning double for the Panthers, ending it at 6-5. Coach Leake conceded his team had been simply outplayed but added that he was pleased by progress at this point in the season. “Our offense has been very consistent. We have one hitter over .500 (Daczewitz at .542); two over .400 (Porter and Atkins); and one in the high .300’s (Smith). Right now, we’re just committing too many errors. Most of them are throwing errors: some guys are only now getting their arm in shape because of the limited preparation we’ve had,” said Leake. “With all these games pushed together we are going to need strong performances from our pitching staff, but so is every other team in the district. A lot of things can happen in the next week,” he added. ytoutes 7 & 15, leespurg, va mm NEW 1988 BERETTA COUPE Front Floor Mats, Air Conditioning, AM/FM Stereo w/Cassette and dock.

Girls race for playoffs By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer The Rappahannock girls’ softball team is in the same spot as their male counterparts, fighting for their playoff lives. This is exactly where coach Renee Leake wanted to be in the Panthers’ first full season of softball. In the beginning of the year. Coach Leake said her team’s goal was to finish above .500 and make the post-season tournament. The Lady Panthers, who dropped all four of their games last week, are 5-7 and must win four of their last five games to realize that goal. Three of their final games are against Page, Clarke, and Manassas Park who are also vying for one of the four slots in the Bull Run District tournament, along with Strasburg and Central. They face the same schedule as the baseball teams which could mean a lot of changes in the standings by the last game. Like the RCHS hardballers, Rappahannock could win three and still make the tournament, “but it would be a numbers game," said Coach Leake. Rappahannock started the tough week on April 24 with a 6-3 loss to the Central Falcons and ended the week on April 28 with a repeat performance on the f aleons’ home field. In between the Panthers dropped two more home games: to the Strasburg Rams, 17-10, and to the Manassas Park Cougars, 25-5. In all four games RCHS fell behind early and allowed frustration to prevent them from coming back. Against Strasburg on April 26 Rappahannock was down 7-0 after one inning. RCHS fought back 7-6 but eight errors and eight strikeouts proved too much for them to overcome in the 17-10 loss. On April 27 the Lady Panthers beat themselves again with 12 errors and gave up 10 runs in the sixth inning when the game was called. Going into the contest the two teams were tied for fourth place with a 4-5 record. But this is a team that never gives up and according to Coach Leake, “No matter how behind we are, I know these girls will give 100 percent." Coach Leake looks to the upcoming games this week to tell the story on the Panthers’ future. On May 3 they travel to George Mason and on May 5 they take on Clarke County. In between they may host Page County in a rescheduled contest which was rained out on May 1.

B4th Gold Cup features defending champion I By LOUISA WOODVILLE ' Arundel Newspaper** Staff Writer THE PLAINS — Spirited horses ind a gala crowd will cavort to the anfare of trumpets and good cheer st the 64th annual Virginia Gold Cup at Great Meadow this Saturday, May 6. The Gold Cup, the fifth race of the day, offers a purse of $30,000 to be distributed to the five-year-olds and older that place in this timber contest. Other races include the First American Cup stakes’ race with its $25,000 purse. Jimmy Lorenzo, who won the Eclipse Award as the leading steeplechase horse in America in 1988, heads the field that includes Elliot-trained Census, the Breeders [Cup winner in ’86, and this year’s | Temple Gwathmey champion Ropes [End. lostadero, who just won Block : House in North Carolina April 22, is | also scheduled to join this field. Other races include a $10,000 maiden steeplechase that opens the day at 1:30 p.m., a timber steeplechase for four-vear-olds and upward Which have never won two races over timber; a maiden claiming race and a maiden timber contest. The principle contenders slated for the feature timber race include last year’s Gold Cup winner Von Csadek;’87 Gold Cup winner Ozymandias; '88 International Gold Cup winner Hawa; Middleburg Hunt Cup winner Call Louis: Eustis Cup and Rokebv Bowl winner Friendly Retreat; and Deep Run winner Tueuquere. Double Sparkle, West Coast Roy, Family. The Hard Word, Kevino, Reasono, Tougher Still, and Touch Of Class round out the field of 15 horses. Below is a run-down of these horses' activities to date. VonCsadek Owned by Sheppard-Worrall stable, trained by Doug Worrall and ridden by his son Patrick, this NSHA 1988 timber horse of the year stunned spectators at last year’s Gold Cup When he romped to the finish with o\er 100 lengths to spare. He had already won the Deep Run and Middleburg Hunt Cups after breaking his maiden at the Marlborough Point-to-Point. 1 He proceeded to best fields at both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Hunt Cups in the fall of ’88 and continued his winning ways this spring when he galloped wire-towire at the Marlborough Hunt Races, beating his five opponents by 30 lengths at the John Begg Memorial April 2. The brown gelding was back in the winners’ circle two weeks later at My Lady’s Manor, having run unchallenged down the stretch 20 lengths ahead of his principle competitor, ’84 Maryland Hunt Cup winner Bewiey’s Hill. The horse’s most recent start was a brief foray over the Maryland Hunt Cup’s intimidating timber. Because he fell early in the race at the fourth fence, his owners feel the Gold Cup stakes, is a shot worth taking. Ozymandias The NSHA’s '86 timber horse of the year won the Gold Cup in ’87. He came back in the spring of '88 to place at My Lady’s Manor, and then he galloped third at the ’88 Gold Cup. In the fall his victories included the Chronicle Cup and the International Gold Cup. He is undefeated this season having won at Hillsboro Cedar Knob with trainer Bill Wofford in the irons and then again at Louisville’s Oxmoor race April 15. Wofford fell at that same race meet in another contest, so his brother-in-law and top rider Gregg Morris will pilot the chestnut this Saturday at Great Meadow. Friendly Retreat Mrs. Douglas V. Nicoll’s. Friendly Retreat has left an indelible mark on Virginia’s point-to-point circuit this season. From his first win at Rappahannock with trainer-rider Don Yovanovich to his most recent win of the Eustis Cup at Oatlands, Friendly Retreat has delighted spectators by his unchallenged romps down the stretch. Friendly Retreat ran his first race under the colors of Californian Shea Robert Sheahan. Yovanovich guided the horse easily to his first timber victory, a comfortable nine lengths at the wire. The next week at Blue Ridge the silks changed to gray and white, the colors of Mrs. Nicoll. Here Yovanovich took an early lead, challenged only by Fisher on Call Louis until that horse fell at the fourteenth fence, leaving Yovanovich to win by a tremendous margin. Another spectacular win was at Piedmont March 25. The 5-year-olds’ 15-length victory enabled Yovanvoich to retire the pretigious Rokeby Bowl for his Charlottesville owner. He closed out his point-to-point season finishing all alone in the Eustis Cup. Call Louis Trained and ridden by Jack Fisher of Monkton, Sheila Williams’ 7-yearold bay won the Middleburg Hunt Cup April 2 by a staggering 30 lengths. He broke his maiden over timber this season at the ElkridgeHarford Point-to-Point April 8 after coming in second at Howard CountyIron Bridge’s hunt races March 25. Call Louis was a strong contender at Blue Ridge until he fell at the fourteenth fence, but he made up for it by his unthreatened run down the stretch at Glenwood Park. Tucuquere, another Gold Cup entry, was third. Tucuquere Randolph Rouse’s Tucuquere won both the Deep Run Hunt Cup April 15 and Orange County’s open timber contest two weeks before. The Chilean-bred 9-year-old suffered his first timber defeat in the Middleburg Hunt Cup with 18-year-old Nicholas Schweizer when he came in third. Hawa Arthur Arundel’s Hawa, recently purchased from his daughter Wendy, made his debut over timber by galloping second to Ozymandias with Speedy Smithwick in the irons at at the Chronicle Cup this past fall. Two weeks later he was an impressive winner of the Great Meadow Cup. This season the Smithwicktrained horse lost in a photo finish at Orange County to Rouse’s Chileanbred Tucuquere. He fell at Foxfield’s timber ’chase this past weekend. Touch Of Class Brian Fitzgerald’s 9-year-old gelding, trained by Billy Dodson, in a brief career over timber, was second to Von Csadek at Marlborough April 2 with Billy Meister in the irons. Kevino Trained by Paddy Neilson and owned by Irvin Naylor of York, Pa., Great Meadow Key to Symbols first Aid Phone X Concession in Rest Rooms f Information, Programs, Security U Cold Cup Course Timber Fence Kevino made a brief appearance in Virginia when he came in second behind Aristoskip at Blue Ridge March 11. The horse returned north, winning a novice timber contest April 1 at Brandywine Hill’s Point-to-Point in West Chester, Pa. He was second at the Benjamin Murray Memorial (April 22) behind the Chilean-bred Cabral. The Bruce Davidson-trained Reasono, also slated to run in the Gold Cup, came in third. Reasono Aletta Bredin-Bell’s Reasono was also second at Brandywine April 1, and in ’88 he won the Foxhall Farm’s team race with three-day event rider Davidson in the irons. Advance ticket sellout guarantees largest crowd By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer THE PLAINS — Tens of thousands of horse raeirig fans will descend upon Great Meadow this Saturday, May (3, for the highlight of the steeplechasing season: the 64th Running of the Virginia Gold Cup. The event has such great appeal Meause it combines horses, the northern Piedmont’s rolling countryside, a chance to see the rich at play and exciting sport for one afternoon t- hopefully in the spring sunshine. * As the size of the event has grown in recent years, the event has taken on a different character than when the race was run on Warrenfan’s Broadview course. This year |hnre than 40,000 persons are expected, and newspapers and magazines from around the world will be Covering it. Tickets are sold out, according to ticket manager Monte Rust. A car pass admits a total of six persons, so if you want to go but don’t have a ticket, you’ll have to ride with someone who does. The main focus of attention is, of course, the $80,000 Gold Cup, won last year by Von Czadek, riden by Patrick Worrall. *rThe races aren't the sole attraction, however. Organizers have assembled a variety of entertainment eyents besides the seven-race card -* and tailgaiters, as usual, will bring their own diversions. j Gates open at 10 a.m., and post tjfiie for the first race is 1:30 p.m. There will be two pony races, the first starting at 12:15 p.m. Great Meadow is located between Marshall and Warrenton on U.S. 17. From Interstate 66, take The Plains exit, Rloute 245, south to the course. M, The Fauquier Parks and Recreation Department will be kicking off it£ therapeutic riding program with a- demonstration by handicapped rider Wendy Shugol of Great Falls. Miss Shugol, who rode in the Bush Inauguration, will perform a musical kiir, a type of dressage demonstration. “The program is in need of funds and hojJbs to get some exposure,” said Gold Cup executive director Janis Norment. Parks and Rec will have an exhibit with more information, said Pat Alton, who is coordinating the project. Other pre-race events include llamas, a celebration of the Morgan Horse bicentennial and a parade of carriages. A parachutist will descend on a target formed by four BMWs parked in a square. BMW of North America is sponsor of the four-mile Gold Cup Race. Race organizers have also taken steps to avoid the parking and traffic problems that plauged the rainsoaked event last year. Tickets will not be available at the gate on the day of the race, which should speed up traffic into the site. Also, last year a whole section of parking was closed due to rain — that section has enhanced drainage this year. There are also 22 acres of new parking spaces, leased by Great Meadow from foundation president Arthur W. Arundel. “We aren’t ordering rain this year,” joked Ms. Norment — last year it rained for a week before the race. The National Weather Service is calling for sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s for the end of the week and the weekend. Corporations and large companies have gobbled up the seven sponsors’ tents, seven chalet tents and six corporate tents. But they are all inside Members’ Hill, and the $30 general subscriber car pass does not include admission to that area. No passes to Members’ Hill will be available the day of the race. There are about 8,000 parking spaces at the course, and 5,000 of them are “general subscriber” passes — the others range from the $3,900 tents to $90 for a rail four top sheep dog handlers at trial L r For many years handling Border (collies at sheep dog trials was tradi^tjonally a man's field. ' In this country, however, where i iheep dog trialling has become a tery fast growing sport, most of the Handlers maintain a few sheep for |jheir dogs to practice on, just about reversing the percentage of working Versus sport. "* At the Blue Ridge Open Sheep ^og Trial on May 13 and 14 at Sun-nybrook Farm in White Post, VA, twelve of the twenty dogs entered in the Open Ranch Class will be han died by women, most of whom have done their fair share of winning. The trial will start at 8:00 a.m., or earlier, both days, rain or shine. The Boyce Volunteer Fire Company will have food and refreshments on the trial field. Spectators are welcome, but are asked to bring their own chairs. For further information contact Mrs. Bryan Conrad at Sunnybrook Farm in White Post, (703) 837-1064, on trial days before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. oversizfe party space. Cars headed for the general subscriber parking spots may only enter through gates five, seven and nine on Route 245 or gate six on U.S. 17. Directions for parking are specified on the back of the passes. “Please emphasize that members should read the back of their tickets for directions and parking,” said Monte Rust, who coordinated ticket sales. “It’s all spelled out right there.” State Police Sgt. D.S. Adams said there will be 26 troopers stationed at entrances to Great Meadow, directing traffic. Deputies from neighboring counties have been hired to work security and will be aided by a small private force, said Ms. Norment. The Fauquier Jaycess will be parking cars. Volunteer organizations such as the Fauquier Lions, 4-H and the FHS Booster Club will sell refreshments, posters and programs. Although pari-mutuel racing is now legal in Virginia, there won’t be any legal wagering at Great Meadow this year or in the foreseeable future, said Ms. Norment. The grounds manager at Great Meadow for the last several years, Bobby Hilton, said the grass is “growing right now like crazy,” and predicted that on race day the turf will be about seven inches long. “This is probably one of the best steeplechasing tracks around,” said Hilton. “It’s the most highly-maintained, anyway.” Hilton and his crew mow the Great Meadow turf every week. “It likes to be mowed a lot; it stimulates it to grow. ” The event will be the subject of even more media attention than in past years, when USA Today and the Washington Post have covered it in depth. Those papers will be out in force Saturday, along with reporters from Arundel Newspapers (Arcom and the Post have both rented tents), London’s Tattler magazine, the French magazine Maison et Jardin, the New York Times, New Dominion magazine and Fairfax magazine. Gold Cup officials said the list of the prominent area residents that they expect in the crowd includes Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon, the Hon. and Mrs. Raymond Guest, Mrs. Rianda Braga of Oakendale, Mrs. Archie Randolph and Bettina Ward. They also expect Sen. and Mrs. Charles Robb, Sir Antony Acland, Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKinney, Mr. and Mrs. George Strawbridge (he is president of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association), George Ohstrom, Mr. and Mrs. Ricard Ohstrom, Mr. and Mrs. James Symington, Mrs. Henry Ford and Mrs. Latisha Baldridge, social secretary to then-first lady Jackie Kennedy.

Smithwick, came in third at the '87 Pennsylvania Hunt Cup. He started on the flat this year at Howard County-Iron Bridge point-to-point, then jumped timber at Foxfield where he came in fourth. He was third last fall at Morven Park under Woods Winants. Tougher Still George Lee’s Tougher Still opened the season with a third in ladies’ timber at Blue Ridge with Patti Cassel. He then won the Warrenton ladies’ timber contest with this same rider over the big timber fences of new Airlie course and finished fourth in the Middleburg Hunt Cup. The Hard World Owned by Quartet Stables of Monkton, The Hard Word is trained by Billy Meister. He came in fourth at last year’s Gold Cup, saddled at that time by D.M. Smith wick. The 10-year-old chestnut opened the season as heavyweight timber champion with Meister at Brandywine April 1. He was then third at the Benjamin Murray Memorial April 22. West Coast Boy Owned by Monkton attorney Peter deSimone, Wrest Coast Boy was fourth at Flkridge-Harford’s pointto-point April 8. If the horse runs in the Gold Cup. Billy Meister will be in the irons, so it is probable that either West Coast Boy or The Hard Word might not run. Family Charles Fenwick Sr.’s Family won the Virginia Silver Cup at Great Meadow in 1987 and the Murray Memorial that same year.

Special Olympians return as winners Rappahannock County’s Special Olympics team isn’t the largest, but there are none with more spirit. The five members of the team, who are all students in .the county schools, went to Woodberry Park School in Orange on April 22 to compete in the regional Special Olympics. There they faced athletes from the Special Olympics programs in Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties. And Rappahannock’s five team members, true to the county’s long history of overcoming lack of depth in athletic events with wide-ranging skills in many areas, competed in several events each. The events entered by the county’s athletes cover the spectrum of track and field events. Todd Smoot was a contestant in the shot put, softball throw and the 50-meter dash. Peggy Sue Gallihugh joined her teammate Todd in the 50-meter dash, as well as the softball throw. She also competed in the long jump. Thomas Brown also entered three events in the competition. He ran in the 100-meter dash, was a contestant in the softball throw and also the long jump. Lisa Wines ran with her teammate Miss Gallihugh in the 50-meter dash. She then also competed in the Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan DISPLAYING THEIR RIBBONS and medals, Rappahannock's Special Olympics team is, from left, Todd Smoot, Peeey Sue Gallihugh, Thomas Brown, Lisa Wines and Tony Brady. softball throw and the long jump. Tony Brady, the team’s distance man, took, on the 400-meter run, an endurance event. He also entered the long jump and the softball throw. The team returned with ribbons and medals, and according to its sponsors, fulfilled the Special Olympics credo: . . Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt..."

Lynn, Jr. has been honored posthumously by the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Dr. Lynn, who was a teacher as well as administrator at the school he founded in Huntly, was given the Outstanding American History Award. He died suddenly last August at the age of 4(^. Dr. Lynn was nominated by his colleagues as one who brought history to life and promoted and encouraged a sense of patriotism and pride in our nation and for the freedom “American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes for.” Dr. Lynn has also been nominated by the Culpeper Minutemen DAR Chapter for both state and national awards. Pam Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Miller of Front Royal, was one of four outstanding high school students presented the Good Citizens Award recently by the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter of the National Society of The Daughters of the American Revolution. Miss Miller is a senior at Wakefield. Nominees for the award were selected by the faculty and student body of each school on the basis of such qualities as patriotism, grades, school activities and obedience to laws. Matthew McCurry, son of Mr. DR. LYNN and Mrs. George MeCurry of Strasburg, has won the history essay contest sponsored by the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The contest was open to students in grades five through eight in schools in Madison, Culpeper, and Rappahannock counties. Young MeCurry is a sixth grader at Wakefield. The contest theme was "My Favorite American Patriot of the Revolutionary War." MeCurry wrote on Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox." Entries were judged on accuracy, neatness, and originality.

ARB Continued from page 1 heard concerns about the building’s chimneys. It is not the same as The Meadows ... it is a different animal. . . a spade is not always a spade.” Mr. McCarthy’s reference to The Meadows concerned the ARB’s deliberations in April, when architect Julian Kulski’s plan to cover the twin chimneys on the south side of the home with an addition was opposed by the board. Both Mr. Haffler and Mr. Wells testified that the chimneys were the dominant architectural feature of that building, and to alter and perhaps disturb them would compromise the architectural integrity and the significant historical aspects of the structure. Mr. McCarthy reviewed the plans for the building's exterior page by page with the three board members, describing what the architect intended to accomplish with the design. Two chimneys will be part of the addition, mimicking the two which are already in place on the west side of the existing building. Those two will be left where they are. The two new ones will be functional; one serving as a flue for the exhaust fan in the kitchen, the other to a working fireplace in one of the offices. On the Gay St. side of the addition, Mr. McCarthy said, a belowgrade entrance is planned to the basement drunk tank and cell block. ARB member Evelyn Willis asked if the concrete steps could be faced with brick. Mr. McCarthy told the board that the white clapboard meathouse on the lawn behind the jail can stay where it is, but that the old summer kitchen will have to be moved. “I have my doubts that it can be moved” without falling apart, he said, explaining that when its cohcrete foundation was poured it was done around the existing building. To move it, he said, will require cutting it out of the foundation. Its only function now is to house the jail’s backup generator, and when the addition is built that will be moved underneath the porch which faces Mt. Salem Ave. “We’d be perfectly happy to give it to anyone, but like I said it may not survive the move,” he added. Mrs. Willis requested that when the county chooses the brick and mortar colors for the addition that the mason assemble some bricks near the building. “That’s the only way to tell if it will match,” she explained. She also asked that the shutters on the addition be of the same thickness and weight as the ones on the existing structure; again to match the original as closely as possible. And, Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Miller requested that the mason look at other historic buildings in the town before facing the foundation with fieldstone. They should be, Mrs. Willis suggested, “crudely set stone, not lined up - trying to be so neat that it looks prefab and set in.” In defense of the practical use of the building, Mr. McCarthy replied, “it’s got to hold three floors.” “It’s just as strong,” Mrs. Miller said, “It’s just the correct versus the incorrect way to do it.” Mrs. Miller asked if any thought had been given to bringing the addition out into the yard, toward the clerk’s office. That would screen the jail’s exercise yard, she suggested. That option, Mr. McCarthy replied, was nev^r seriously considered. Mr. McCarthy requested that the board advise him as soon as possible about the recommendation of their consultant so that the county’s plans for next year’s budget can be adjusted, if necessary. Mrs. Miller told the county administrator the board would contact him as soon as it receives its consultant's recommendations. In other business, the board: • approved C.E. “Skippy" Giles’ plan for shrubbery to screen the parking lot he has constructed for the former Washington Cash Store, which he is converting to offices for the county Health Department, with apartments upstairs. The natural screening was a condition of Mr. Giles’ special use permit approved by the Town Council last year. • approved an application from Eileen Day for a handrail for the Clopton House entrance which faces Main St. Mrs. Day said the handrail on the stairs will allow her clients fo use the front door into her realty office, rather than the side entrance as they do now. The handrail and spindles will match the existing porch railing, the application stated. A lattice frame for the building’s sitfe porch was also approved. • held a work session to discuss standards and guidelines for the rehabilitation of buildings within the town’s Historic District. The standards, when finalized, will have to be passed to the Town Council foi; a public hearing before the Council can adopt them, Mrs. Miller said. Sutherland is graduated Susan Ann Sutherland, daughter of Susan and Lynn Campbell of Amissville, was graduated May ,6, from Liberty Christian College:in Pensacola, Florida with a Associate of Arts in Bible Study degree. i

Library Continued from page 1 be administered by the State Library Board had added another “complication. There is pressure to get things done. Maybe we can get J something together, and if we have to change our minds later, we can. We’re not going to make any firm decisions tonight,” he added. Schematic diagrams need to be ^delivered to County Administrator John McCarthy by June 14 to be considered by the Planning Commission *2t its June 21 meeting, Dr. Young said. Then the application for a grant of Federal funds has to be to Richmond by July 6 for a hearing there ;0n July 20 or 21, he said. The State •Library Board will announce grant Recipients in September, he added. “Are you taking into consideration the need to expand in the fuS’feure?” Neecee Lane, a member of The Friends, asked. Mr. Mathews explained that a third module could be added to the reading and circulation area. He said that if he stuck to the 5,000 square < foot limitation, once the meeting t room was added “we had to decide f what things in the original program wouldn’t get built in.” The plans originally called for a 25,000 volume I library, he said. “This would not be ' adequate for that, ” he explained. ! “Then should we even put the i chimney on now?” Bill Fletcher, ! president of the Friends, asked. "Should we consider not building it (the meeting room) now? We could go ahead and build the other module now and add the meeting room later. If the climate is exceptionally good, we might get that too, and we might end up with a building of 6,500 to 7,000 square feet. If we’re dealing with a limited amount of money, we need the book library to be built first,” Mr. Fletcher added. “I’m for the book library too," said Grace Sims, former librarian and member of the Library Board. "We’re calling that a multi-purpose room. It’s not an auditorium with sloped seating. It’s especially for the children’s story hour and for showing movies,” she said. “Can you put books on the walls of the meeting room?” Nina Stamer asked. “It’s not advisable from the secu! rity standpoint,” said Holly May. ; She pointed out that patrons could ' leave the library from that area without going past the circulation i desk. One possibility would be to add the third module and use it as a meeting room while we’re acquiring the books,” Dr. Young said. Mr. Mathews suggested that the project could be bid three ways: as the whole thing with the meeting room and three modules, as the whole thing with the meeting room just a shell, (ind as just the three modules. He said he had toured the Samuels library in Front Royal which has a small meeting room that is rarely used. “There are quite a few functions for which we need a separate room,” Mrs. Sims said. Mr. Mathews said that he envisioned the exterior being covered by some sort of weatherboard siding that could be stained. Inside he said only limited areas would be defined by walls. Most areas would be defined by placement of shelving and furniture, he said. What we need next he said is an “equipment layout. We need to know what equipment is needed and what’s here that’s useable to take.” He said he had not yet determined whether the library would have to be built on a slab on grade or whether it could be built over a crawl space. He said the crawl space would be more desirable for making future changes in wiring as more electronic equipment was put to use. “You’re going to be given a PC with a Fax machine,” he said. He said with that equipment the library would be able to get information from everywhere. “Then we don’t need any books,” Mr. Fletcher commented. “Oh, yes we do,” Mrs. Sims said. Mr. Mathews explained that the library would eventually need four other computer terminals. One would be at the circulation desk, another for reference and two to replace the card catalogue. “There’s a good reason for keeping this (the card catalogue)," he said. “It’s unlikely that if five people wanted to use the card catalogue, they would all need the same drawer,” he added. “Is there any way we could eventually have a recycling shed at the library property?” Mrs. Stamer asked. She said she was looking for a more central location for recycling than the landfill site. “We might be able to make some money on that,” Mr. Fletcher commented. Mr. Mathews said such a thing might be built near the entrance to look something like a “gate house.” “I don’t want to throw a monkey wrench into things,” Lucia Kilby said. “But if the Historical Society Deer Continued from page 11 By comparison, once the fencing : and chutes for a funnel-system approach to stock handling are completed at Piedmont Farms, Mr. Graage estimated that five hours are all that will be required per doe in a year’s time. Extra help may be needed for the annual roundup, when the deer are i given inoculations and medications ! to protect them from diseases and | parasites, but under normal condiJ tions, Mr. Graage’s farm manager | said he can do the work involved in ' the 100-acre, 350-head deer farm with just occasional assistance from ‘his wife and their 12-year-old son. At present, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has no regulations on venison, and this presents an obstacle to exporting deer meat since Europe’s Common Market countries require USDA certification for imports. “But we’re working on that,” Mr. Graage said. And he noted that at current production levels, American deer farmers are 1 years away from needing overseas outlets. For the time being, most of his fallow deer are destined for sale as breeding stock, another high demand sideline of the deer farming business. “Two years ago, I paid $300 per doe. A year ago, the price was $500. Today, it’s $750 to $900, if jmu can find any.” He predicted the price and the demand for does will hold steady in that range for the foreseeable future as the ranks of deer farmers grow and those presently engaged in deer farming look to inject new blood into their herds. The European fallow deer and its ' nearly extinct cousin the Persian, or Mesopotamian, fallow deer, have been semi-domesticated tor tnousands of years. The European sub-species is believed to have died out on the continent during the last ice age and was most probably reintroduced into the ! Mediterranean area between 1350 and 1000 B.C. by the Phoenicians, who used the deer for sacrifices in religious ceremonies. They were raised by the Romans and, in fact, a 65 A.D. treastise on agriculture describes in detail the best means of feeding and enclosing the deer. By the 12th century, fallow deer were being kept in parks in England and Denmark. The first major imports to Germany came in 1577 when the King of Denmark sent 30 fallow deer to Landgraf Ludwig IV of Kurhessen. Today, West Germany has more than 30,000 fallow deer in the wild in addition to those raised in herds of five to 500 on deer farms. The wild deer are descendants of’ semi-domesticated deer that were released from parks and became federal. Fallow deer were first imported into the United States 75 years ago, “and they’ve been inbreeding ever since,” says Mr. Graage. To broaden the gene pool, members of the North American Deer Farmers have recently brought in bucks from England and Germany, and the farmers plan to sell back and forth to each other to introduce new bloodlines intheir stock, Mr. Graage explained. His immediate goal is to develop “an elite herd of the best does” and to breed bigger fallow deer. Red deer, the species commonly raised on New Zealand’s farms, are larger, but they are also selective feeders and therefore require more pasture, needing the same one-acre per animal as beef cattle, Mr. Graage said. So rather than switch to red deer, he’s attempting through his computer-assisted breeding program to get a higher carcass weight — at least 75 to 80 pounds — on his market-bound yearling males. “The biggest variable in profitability is weight,” he noted. Mr. Graage drives the 60 miles from Washington, D.C. to the F.T. Valley several times a week to walk the fences, inspect the deer, and oversee the restoration of Piedmont Farms’ two log cabins and the stone and frame house built in the late 1700s by a relative of the Francis Thornton for whom the valley is named. Eventually, he plans to make the farm house his primary residence. In addition to the deer herd, Mr. Graage’s agricultural venture includes an apple orchard — at gourmet shops, he’s noticed apple syrup imported from Belgium and sees possibilities there — and 120 head of beef cattle. As he leads a tour from one 25acre pasture to another, he details the work that went into re-establishing Piedmont Farm as a good working farm: 200 truck loads of old refrigerators, stoves, and other garbage hauled away; every foot of fencing replaced; barns refurbished and emptied of rusted machinery; silos repainted; thistles and wild roses cleared from fields. And as he talks farming, he’s much more farmer than import-export magnate, speaking the language of fertilizers and feed that all livestock producers understand. “I want to retire and do this fulltime,” Mr. Graage admitted, surveying his deer herd against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge foothills. “This is really heaven.” does not obtain this building, would there be room for geneology study?” She noted that the historical societies in other areas work with libraries. “I was hoping we could combine our resources. I hate to duplicate things,” she added. Mrs. Kilby suggested that if the records of the Historical Society were at the new library, people could have access to them whenever the library was open, and members ■of the Historical Society could come in at certain times to help people doing research. Dr. Young said he couldn’t answer the question without knowing how much space the Historical Society would need. A lot of time at the meeting was devoted to debating the pros and cons of applying for Federal monies. “If they give us a grant, what are we required to do?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “That’s an excellent question,” Mr. Mathews replied. “Once any amount of Federal money is awarded, certain things come into play. They will come up four times during construction to check with every worker and see if he is being paid the David-Bacon wage. Some localities have found it increasing the overall cost if they get a grant.” Dr. Young said that at present 12 localities are trying to qualify for the grants. The same number applied last year and the money available was split between two of them. “It’s not state policy to give small amounts to lots of projects.” he added. The state has $500,000 to allocate this year. “Chances are we’ll get half the building cost or nothing. If we’re turned down we’ve lost nothing but time." He said that fundraising locally could proceed during the time the county is waiting to hear about the grant. “If we get it, we’ll be able to start building much sooner,” he added. Mrs. Sims said the state’s consultant said meeting the Federal guidelines would probably add 10 percent to the overall cost. “Any time you get into a Federal program there are rules and regulations,” Mr. Fletcher commented. “Once you have received that money, they tell you what to do. They offered me a grant to do part of my house. I couldn’t afford to repair anything according to their specs. ’’ Mr. Mathews replied, “All these things can be looked into before accepting the grant. It should not keep the trustees from applying.” Dr. Young agreed. “You can drop the application at any time,” he noted. County art on display The Old Town Gallery, located at 98 Alexandria Pike, Suite 500, in Warrenton, will exhibit recent paintings by realist artist Gary A. Genther during May. Mr. Genther, who recently closed a one-man exhibition in Philadelphia, utilized watereolor, egg tempra, and acrylic to capture the rural aspects of Rappahannock County and Pennsylvania, a gallery spokesman said. There will be an opening reception at the Gallery on Friday, May 12 from 5:30-9 p.m. Budget Continued from page 1 Hall and the town monument. That street was surveyed but never put in, and the town owns it, Mr. McCarthy explained. The town has agreed to let the county put a crosswalk to the building on it and to put a septic system under it, he said, but some members of the board think the county should own the street, and “the town has not agreed to that yet.” Mr. McCarthy suggested that Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke, acting as the County Attorney, and Frank Reynolds, acting as attorney for the town, could “try to get these matters ironed out in the next three weeks” so that a contract of sale could be considered at the June 5 board meeting. “The town did not demonstrate any interest in the Historical Society building,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Should we sell the library before we have enough money to build another?” asked Mr. Massie. “I wonder if we could predicate the sale on their willingness to rent the building back to the library until there is a new library. I don’t want to see the taxpayers get stuck trying to build the library.” ‘Were also facing the situation where we’re going to need a building,” Mr. Gilkey noted. The deal calls for the library being able to lease back the building for $1 per year for two years, he explained. “Perhaps they could extend the lease at fair market value afterward,” he added. “The town doesn’t use the old Town Hall,” Mr. Massie noted. “As long as we let them use the courthouse, I don’t think they would put the library out in the street in the rain.” Mr. Anderson pointed out that the proposed purchase of the Town Hall in another year doesn’t take care of the immediate need for more office space in six months’ time. Local attorney Douglas Baumgardner has informed Mr. McCarthy and the Board of Supervisors that he will need back space that he has been renting to Mr. McCarthy and the building inspector. “If we hadn’t done away with the old smokehouse and chicken house at the jail, we wouldn’t have this problem,” Mr. McCarthy mused, getting chuckles from the audience. Mr. Massie commented that the public hearing had shown that people wanted to support the Golden Key theater group. “I’d like to see them use the building until we have a need for it.” He added, “We always havaix) look at alternatives. We may have to look to moving offices and services out of town and into the county.” Mr. Luke asked if the supervisors only wanted to have covenants restricting future uses of the library to keeping it in public hands or if they also wanted to restrict changes to the exterior of the building. “At the public hearing people said they didn’t want to see the inside or the outside changed,” Mr. Massie said. “My feeling is to just see that it not go out of public hands,” Mr. Gil THE HILLSIDE VILLAGE COMPANY 115 Chester Street, Front Royal, Va. 703-635-4307 is offering the following classes in May.

Bingham said. “Let’s see what the town wants,” Mr. Estes concluded. The supervisors next took up the seemingly perennial issue of whether or not to use the services of a circuit planner. “I still see a need for it,” Col. Bingham said. “We have to map out in broad general terms what land is owned by out-of-county persons and what land is in land use, all overlayed on top of classifications of land and get a handle on what it is costing the county.” He suggested that it would be “premature” to go along with Mr. McCarthy’s plans for doing an area study of the general commercial area “until we know what the total picture is in the county. ” “My problem is one of the significance for this year’s budget problem,” Mr. McCarthy said. He noted that the county agriculture agent was mapping all of the bottom land in the county. “Any effort is very intensive and expensive. We should be tapping the resources we have, try to get contributions from the Piedmond Environmental Council and RLEP." Mr. McCarthy said he would request that the County hire a zoning planner either in the fiscal budget for 1990-91 or for 1991-92. “I’m not confident on how a circuit planner would work,” he added. Mr. Massie noted that a map is being made for Clarke County with pins put in when land is sold. “It would be a good use of the non-profits to make a map like that for Rappahannock County. I see it as more an informational process than a planning process," he added. “I would rather see our own planner than a circuit planner,” Mr. Gilkey said. i nave to concur that tne optimum would be to have our own planner,” Col. Bingham said. “If we could get the right interest out of the bank, we could pay for a planner. If you pick up any book on the rich and famous, you find that these people collect land. If we’re so naive we think these people are coming in here and buying up Foster's farm to run a few head of cattle, we’re sadly mistaken,” he added. Mr. Gilkey asked if this matter could be postponed until the supervisors next consider the upcoming budget. “No,” Mr. Massie said, “let’s make a decision." “How can we combat development realistically?” Col. Bingham asked. Mr. McCarthy said, “When I see 500 acres going to ‘so and so limited partnership’ I know it’s going to be developed. So far they have been willing to develop with the limitation of 25-acre subdi visions. On the other hand, out-of-countv people buy up huge tracts of land, but they move here. We should be prepared to con sider that all land will be developed, but I’m less worried when I watch them pulling calves out of heifers at 7:30 a.m. in the rain. “The zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance and comprehensive plan control where they can develop and where they can’t,” he concluded. When the discussion moved to the boundary between the Town of Washington and the county, the board members indicated they were no longer interested in changing the boundary. Town resident Claybert Smoot had requested that the two bodies look into the problem because the line now drawn, which cuts across his property, leaves him less than enough land to subdivide a lot from his land. “To change the boundary would require a new survey and General Assembly approval,” Mr. Estes pointed out. The problem occurs when the boundary line splits property. “I don’t think drawing the line created two contiguous lots,” Mr. Gilkey said. In other words, a lot bisected by a boundary line remains one lot, not two. After discussing the possibility of ruling that the zoning ordinances of whatever jurisdiction contains the majority of the property would prevail, the supervisors decided to explore the possibility of getting an agreement with the town that whenever a split property had less than one acre in the county, town zoning would prevail for the entire lot. At the end of the meeting Mr. McCarthy reported that accountant Wally Cox had delivered more bad news to the supervisors. After reviewing expenses for the year, Mr. Cox said the county might not make it to the end of the fiscal year before running out of money. “We may have to borrow up to $io0,000 to get through June 30,” Mr. McCarthy said. In other action at Monday’s meeting, the board: • a relocating the polling place for Hampton District from the courthouse to the Washington Fire Hall, at least until the courthouse is made accessible to the handicapped. • appointed Sharon Pierce of Woodville to the Planning Commission to replace Robert Anderson, who was appointed to the Board after Nelson Lane resigned. • appointed Robert Anderson as the supervisors’ representative to the Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee to replace Mr. Lane. • reaffirmed its policy which requires extension agents to live in the county. • applied to the Division of Litter Control and Recycling for renewal of the county’s litter control grant. • approved the renewal of the Jenkins Mountain Agricultural District. • approved a request from Wade Massie to the Virginia Department of Transportation, requesting that it a and on a portion of old Route 211 at Massie’s Corner.

Videos Continued from page 1 stores don’t sell such magazines. But you can go right across the street and buy a whole 90-minute movie which has basically the same content.” Both Mr. Heddleston and Mr. Von Fange emphasized that their effort is not to censor the type of entertainment available at Panorama Video. Some R- and even PG-rated movies, they pointed out, have nudity, strong language and violence. But even the worst of those movies have some plot, some vehicle which moves the film besides sex. These so-called “adult” movies are different, Mr. Von Fange said. “I hate to even use the term ‘adult’. No one is old enough — this is obscene . . . and everyone knows it. It’s not the plot people look for when they watch these movies, it’s the action. That’s what they want to see.” But the plotless ones, he added, are not the worst. “I’m more worried about the ones that have a plot.” Those are the ones, Mr. Von Fange said, which perpetuate the “rape myth, that every woman secretly wants to be sexually used. These tapes and books lead to an increase in violent crimes, specifically rape.” Attacking another argument sometimes used by the films' producers and distributors, Mr. Heddleston debunked the claim that they are “artistic. They have no relation to art — or to the way most people view sex." As for people who say that it is their own business what they watch in the privacy of their own home, Mr. Heddleston added, “it's just not private.” One of the adults forgets to take the tape out of the machine, or neglects to hide it away, and the next day — while the parents are still at work — a group of kids innocentlv slips the tape into the family’s VCR. “This stuff will make a kid into an adult in about 15 minutes,” Mr. Von Fange said. "It is more than they can handle . . . they don’t understand” the graphic and often bizarre sexual content of the films. “I agree with them,” Mrs. Sickles said. Although she was scrupulous only to rent the tapes to adults, "I can only control them at the counter. I can’t control what happens to them once they're out the door." Both Mr. Von Fange and Mr. Heddleston were quick to acknowledge that their approach probably wouldn’t work in most other communities. “In Rappahannock, most businesses are ‘Mom and Pop’ operations. They could be our brothers and sisters — they could be us.” Video store owners, Mr. Heddleston said, “look on X-rated movies as a natural extension of their business,” another service to their customers. “They need to be re-educated; to be shown that they are more than a part of their business, that they could be damaging to the community." But attacking, or scolding, or preaching at the owners, he added, is not the correct approach. “Nothing would bother me more than to consider the owners of these stores as common criminals. They are not.” Mrs. Sickles, for example, toldthem that she stocked the movies after some of her customers made repeated requests for them. In the three years about 50 X-rated tapes were in the store, she said, there was never a single complaint about them. The store, she added, was real careful about who the adult movies were rented to. Mr. Heddleston said one of their concerns, presented to Mrs. Sickles, was that some children were getting older teenagers and young adults to rent the movies for them, or at least were seeing the films in the company oi those older people. “This is detrimental to families, and to their children as they grow up,” Mr. Von Fange said. The county schools’ Family Life Committee, he added, which is made up of a cross-section of parents from across the county, is wrestling with questions about how sexuality and family life should be taught to children from kindergarten age through high school. "The program tries to teach respect, in every grade level. It is a good program — but when kids go out and watch a couple of X-rated movies, that entire curriculum goes right down the tubes. ” The entire country, Mr. Heddleston pointed out, is familiar with the power of video imagery. Ranging from public television's Sesame Street, to John Hinkley’s insane obsession with actress Jody Foster, which stemmed from repeated viewings of her potraval of a teenaged prostitute in Taxi Driver, to Clint Eastwood’s famous line, “Go ahead, make my day" — which was later lifted by former President Ronald Jail Continued from page 1 "My position is that the addition is extremely attractive. A lot of things have been done to the building over the years that do not add to its historic nature. The addition we have proposed responds to the needs of the sheriff for a secure facility. I don’t want to go into too much detail now; it might be premature,” he added. “They never expressed any concern about the summer kitchen," Mr. McCarthy replied. “Any change woqld add significantly to the cost, and even more importantly to the time required,” he said. (Already, Mr. McCarthy explained, the county is in a month-tomonth contract with William Friz zell, owner of the Hampton Inn, to supply food to the jail’s inmates *Mr. Frizzell has indicated he is willing to continue the contract as long as the county’s plans to build a kitchen at the jail remain on track, but is not interested in continuing the contract indefinitely, as could happen if the ARB denies approval for the addition.) “Putting the addition anywhere else would mean changing the parking lot and cost significantly in excess of the $150,000 in the budget for the addition,” he added. “This relates back to what I said earlier,” Mr. Massie said. “The Planning Commission did not say in the Comprehensive Plan that we should concentrate our office space needs in the Town of Washington. Our number one concern is education. I’d hate to see money taken from children to fulfill the w’hims of taste,” he concluded. MODULAR CONCEPTS OF VA,. jpThe Area's eading Consultant Modular Home Construct! Experience to answer Nuggets Of Truth Pastor Bill Taylor Family Worship Center Washington, Va. In Luke 4:18, Jesus gave a call out to the people that were poor, brokenhearted, captive, blind and bruised. He said the Spirit of the Loard is upon me to deliver you. Jesus is still making that same call today. He still desires for people to be delivered and set free from sin and sickness, poverty, blindness and brokenheartedness. All you have to do is come unto him and believe on him. Believe also on His word and obey His word and you will be set free by the power of God. As you walk with the Lord, and let him rule and reign in your life, you will be filled with such peace, love and joy. Your life will be full of purpose and contentment. I encourage you to come to our church where Jesus is presented, not empty religious formality. Where Jesus is exalted as Lord. A place where you can find Jesus and experience the life changing power of God. The next step is yours; will you make that step and come and find Jesus Christ and surrender your life to Him? He is waiting for you to come. Our doors are open to you. Whether you are black or white, rich or poor; if you want Jesus, then make that step and come and you will never be the same. Family Worship Center is located on Mt. Salem Ave. in the “old school building.” Service times are 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning and 7:00 p.m. Wednesday night. God Bless You, Love, Pastor Bill Taylor Reagan — people understand that video is a powerful influence on behavior. “Pornography can hook you, just like alcohol,” Mr. Von Fange as serted. “People watch these films all by themselves, and then go and get another. Each leads to another — a little more perverted and explicit. They teach that women are worth Community standard seen as key to success When local citizens’ groups decide to move against stores which rent movies they consider offensive, they are often met with protestations that the fdms are protected by the Constitution's First Amendment. That’s not always true, according to Jon Heddleston, one of the leaders of the group which successfully appealed to Panorama Video to remove the movies from its Sperryville store. “The Supreme Court decisions on freedom of speech and expression do not automatically protect obscenity under the First Amendment,” he said. Especially, he added, when it can be shown that sensitive and traditional family values are debased by the crass commercial exploitation of sex. That argument was expressly addressed in a 1973 decision, Paris 7 heater v. Platon. In Virginia, Mr. Heddleston added, the state code allows wide latitude through the establishment of a “community standard.” Obscenity is defined by the statute as material which appeals to a purient interest in sex, which is an affront to contemporary sexual standards, and which is without redeeming social values. Beyond that, he said, each community may set a standard which could be enforced by its Commonwealth’s Attorney in court, if necessary. Both Mr. Heddleston and Mr. Von Fange advocated the establishment of a group to explore the possibility of enacting a community standard to protect the residents of Rappahannock County against pornography. “We are worried enough about Blue Plains sludge, and hazardous materials in the landfill, to pass ordinances controlling them," Mr. Heddleston pointed out. “Why shouldn’t we have an ordinance to protect us from this stuff which pollutes the minds of our kids?” The action in Sperryville, Mr.' Heddleston said, “expresses an opinion I think is widely held in Rappahannock County — that we do want a community standard” for what is acceptable. And, Mr. Von Fange added, the longer pornography, in any form, stays in the community, the harder it is to get rid of. “The deeper the roots, the tougher it is to displace. In Rappahannock County it’s like a pine tree - the roots are shallow and easy to displace. Leave it, and it becomes like an oak — it sends roots down deep, which are not easy to get rid of. “I’m not a fanatic,” he said, “but I think that we are well within our rights to put a standard in place; a standard established by a group of citizens who represent a cross-section of the community.” People, Mr. Heddleston pointed out, know there is something wrong with “adult” movies. “I never talked to a store owner who was proud of the business. And people go to other counties to rent or buy them -it is almost like drugs, like something illegal that they are ashamed of. “If pornography is OK, why do people run across the mountain to buy the tapes?” he asked. Mr. Heddleston and Mr. Von Fange said they have talked with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke about the legal ramifications of a community standard for obscenity. They plan to pursue a citizens’ committee, similar to the Family Life Education Committee which is now assembling a curriculum for the county schools, to explore the possibility of writing such a standard. It would, he explained, ultimately be presented to the Board of Supervisors for its approval. After a public hearing and an affirmative vote by the supervisors, it would become part of the county’s ordinances, and have the power of law. The Commonwealth of Virginia, Mr. Heddleston said, “has thrown it back to the communities” by setting up the community standard guideline. “Why shouldn’t we do something about it?” “We can laugh at it,” Mr. Von Fange added, “or we can try to keep it away from our kids.” That brought agreement from Mrs. Sickles. “I have two small children myself. Sometimes you can’t just go with the flow. Sometimes you’ve got to make a Stand.” Eileen M.

The tapes are gone, Mrs. Sickles did not lose any money, and there have been no hard feelings. “The reaction has been about 50/50,” to the removal of the tapes, she said. “It doesn’t seem to bother anyone.” Mr. Von Fange said he has gotten the cold shoulder from several members of the community since the action, and figures that the tapes are the reason. But it doesn’t bother him. “We are responsible for our children, and for our nation. As a democratic society, we can stand ur when something is wrong and try t® change it.” b And Mr. Heddleston had nothin 1 but praise for Mrs. Sickles. “She haJv guts. She may have lost a small portion of her business, but it has been more than made up in the gain of good will in the community.” The good will was reciprocated, too. “I was really pleased that Jon approached me privately about it,” Mrs. Sickles said. “He was concerned, but he was also considerate.” In Page County, where she lives with her husband and two small children, “a couple of years ago people began to fight several video stores which rent adult movies. It became a real battle, with a lot of hard feelings “And they didn’t accomplish anything,” Mrs. Sickles added. “The stores still have the movies.” Heartworms deadly to dogs BLACKSBURG - The heartworm is a canine parasite that can cause debilitation or death if it is not diagnosed in time. Heart worms are so named because the adults locate jn and around the dog’s heart, said Kent Roberts, Extension specialist for companion animals at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. As their numbers and size increase, the worms mechanically damage the endothelial lining of the heart and adjacent blood vessels. “They interfere with the normal function of the heart, which can result in a variety of serious circulatory problems,” Dr. Roberts explained. The Extension veterinarian said the good news is that there is effective treatment for the majority of afflicted animals. “Diagnostic screening is the first and most critical step in preventing or treating this disease,” Dr. Roberts said. “Before any dog is put on preventive medicine, however, it should be examined and tested for heartworms by a veterinarian.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 Location on Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville is a selling point of this home.

Dogs that have tested negative for heartworms can be started on one of two approved preventive medications. Since heartworms are spread from dog to dog by the bite of a carrier mosquito, the preventive medicine must be given when mosquitos are active in a given area. Dr. Roberts said, “One preventive drug is given once a month while the second type must be given daily to be effective in preventing heartworm development.” Treatment for heartworms, while almost always successful, is a serious and involved process that usually requires hospitalization and laboratory tests, said Dr. Roberts. The signs of heartworm disease most often noticed by dog owners are an intolerance to exercise, a persistent cough, and weakness or lack of normal activity, he said.
