He reported that a total of 8.42 inches of rain fell during July, and that daytime temperatures averaged six degrees cooler than last year. The average rainfall for July is 3.85 inches, he added. Subdivision ordinance questioned By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though he was the one of only two town residents present at the public hearing, Washington Mayor Dean Morehouse brought enough questions about the proposed subdivision ordinance to make up for the sparse turnout. The ordinance is basically a rewrite of the ordinance now in effect. Chairman William Wickens said before last Tuesday’s public hearing. With many provisions in need of substantial alteration, he said the commission decided to review the ordinance from front to back rather than attempt piecemeal changes. Mr. Wickens, in a review of the changes before seeking public comment, said that the changes include: • the deletion of any provision for cul-de-sac roads within subdivisions • the prohibition of any private streets, and a requirement that all roads within any subdivision be paved and constructed to Virginia Department of Transportation standards • a requirement that the plat of each lot show a location for a primary septic system as well as a backup in case of failure, and certification from an independent soil scientist that the soils are sufficient to perk the system • a stipulation that the existence of a contract for purchase of lots within a proposed subdivision may in no way influence the review and approval process for the subdivision • a decrease in the required right of-way width from 50 to 40 feet and a maximum pavement width of 18 feet • a requirement that setbacks must vary by 20 percent from lot to lot within the subdivision • a provision to allow' for clustering of the proposed homes within the subdivision, with the stipulation that maximum densities not be exceeded and that the remainder of the land must be permanently dedicated to open space • a requirement that all utilities be buried • a provision to allow, under certain circumstances, package sewage treatment systems • a requirement that preliminary plats submitted for review must See SUBDIVISION, p. 16 Library awaits word on grant By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Library Board will have to wait until after the state Library Board meets Sept. 7 to find out if Rappahannock’s application for funds to help construct the new library was granted. Library Board Chairman William Young and Board member Mary Jamieson traveled to Richmond Saturday, July 21 to present the request to the state board. Rappahannock was one of eight counties with requests for funding. “We did give our presentation; they asked a few questions; they were generally.-supportive, but who knows,” Dr. Young said. ! Dr. Young told other Board members at their regular monthly meeting last Thursday that he had received a letter from the chairman of the architectural board which considered their application saying that the board had reached a consensus on which projects to recommend for approval, but that the applicants would not be notified until the state Library Board acted on its recommendations. Dr. Young said that a few things might work in Rappahannock’s favor, “the good reputation of this library in the state, and the fact that ours was the only central library applying that had not been previously funded. All the others were for additions or branches, and had previous funding.” He said the board was also impressed with the qualified “certified or certifiable" applicants for the librarian’s job. -*> 1 1 project start postponed until next year By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer When the Virginia Department of Transportation won approval last year to complete the four-laning of U.S. 211 from Washington to Sperryville, construction was scheduled to begin by mid-summer 1989. But the ground has not yet been broken, and according to VDOT engineers and spokesmen, the project is already running one year behind last year’s projections. If the current timetable can be maintained, construction of the four-lane from Washington to 1 2 mile east of the Covington River may start by the middle of next summer. The second phase of the project, from the Covington River west to a point 1/2 mile east of the Sperryville Exxon near the intersection of Route 1003, could start the following summer, in 1991. The Virginia Department of Transportation currently is planning to advertise for the first phase of construction in April of 1990, according to Michael Moon, Assistant Resident Engineer in the Warrenton office. . With 30 days allowed between when the project is advertised and when bids are opened, another 30 days elapsing before a contract is awarded, and another 30 to 60 days before construction starts, that would mean it See U.S. 211, p. 16 Two-steppin' Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan AT CHESTER GAP’S CARNIVAL last week, Lillian Ford and Benji Atkins share a dance to the music of R.B. Frazier and the Virginia Travelers. Extension Homemakers Clubs face declining membership By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The steadily declining membership of the county’s three Extension Homemakers Clubs foreshadow the seemingly inevitable end to a nationwide club which has existed for more than 50 years. If these clubs cease to exist, many will never know. But, some will find a void in their lives which was once filled. And others will realize that the Homemakers Clubs fulfilled an important and needed role in the community. A baccalaureate tea may go unserved, the 4-H Camp Fantastic kids may not enjoy an afternoon snack, someone may have a heart attack because an educational seminar on nutrition wasn’t presented. The bloodmobile may not come to Washington for a lifesaving visit. Children in the hospital and the elderly in nursing homes may go unvisited, or spend Christmas without a stuffed toy. A bottomless chair may go to the dump instead of being recaned. “We are not just a craft club,” said Amissville 'Extension Homemakers Club member Katherine Riley. “We are an educational club designed to help homemakers use the materials they have to benefit themselves.” Mrs. Riley should know. She’s a charter member of the Amissville club, which was started 57 years ago. Other than just spending a social hour “Lifestyles have changed ... We have more to pick and choose from in life... But, many of the things our clubs do are things homemakers will do forever. ” — Mary Priest Amissville Extension Homemaker with friends, Mrs. Riley says she has learned a wealth of things, even a trade, through a club designed to help educate women, thereby educating the family and the community, during and after the Great Depression of the 1930s. Transportation was just developing in many parts of the country, and access to the outside world through the mass media was poor. “Some people out here did not even have radios,” Mrs. Riley said, adding that the need for the clubs was tremendous and they generated great interest. “People needed See HOMEMAKERS, p. 12 Flint Hill's carnival this week For many years the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s carnival has marked the end of the summer carnival season in Rappahannock County. The tradition continues this year, with the carnival running through Saturday, Aug. 5 Another continuing tradition is the appearance of the newly crowned Miss Virginia in the Firemen’s Parade, set for Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. Tami Elliott of Virginia Beach is a former gymnast who nearly qualified for the Olympics in 1984. During training for a second attempt in 1988, she slipped from a vaulting horse and broke her neck. Doctor said she would never compete again. She proved them wrong, doing a gymnastic dance routine on her way to the Miss Virginia title last month.

French Slaughter Jr. (7th-VA). “The Federal budget deficit has been the chief concern of district residents for a number of years,” said Mr. Slaughter, w ho has been an advocate of budget reform in the Congress since 1985. According to Mr. Slaughter, the budget led as the top issue of concern in the 1989 poll with a response rating of about 46 percent, followed by drugs and crime (20 percmt), environmental cleanup (10 percent), education (5 percent), and health care (4 percent). Rep. Slaughter noted that over 75 percent of those who answered the poll indicated that they favor a Constitutional amendmemt to require the Federal geovemment to balance its budget, except during times of war or national emergency. About seventy-two percent of poll respondents support granting the President line-item veto authority on the budget. Mr. Slaughter supports legislation in favor of both of these measures. Nearly 70 percent of those who responded are in favor of a Constitutional amemdment to restore voluntary prayer in schools, said Rep. Slaughter. He is a cosponsor of legislation in the House of Representative proposing an amendment to the Constitution to allow individual and/or group prayer in public schools and public institutions. A new question of the annual survey relates to the two main alternatives being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives with regard to the child care isssue. Over 75 percent of those who answered indicated their preference for a tax refund (phased out at higher incomes) to allow parents of preschool aged children to make their own child care decisions as opposed to a new Federal government child care, program. A question pertaining to the new Medicare Catastrophic Protection Illness Act of 1988 was included in this year’s questionnaire for the first time. By more than nearly 3 to 1 ratio; respondents over the age of 65 indicated their opposition to the new program. With regard to the nation’s drug problem, in a multiple choice, over 75 percent of those who answered believe that increased penalties for drug dealers should be incorporated into law, 57 percent opted for increased use of our military force to stop the transport of drugs into the U.S., 24 percent approve of increased funding for drug education and 28 percent favor increased funding for drug rehabilitation programs. Rep. Slaughter, a three-term member of the House Committee on Space Science and Technology, stated that over 72 percent of district residents who answered the poll favor the continued expansion of "THE BUSIEST MACHINE" Whether on the farm, construction job, lumberyard, brick factory or saw mill the rough terrian ND9-031 forklift has many customer oriented features: • lift capacity 2.6 t to the height of 4.6 m (5730lb 15' high) or 1.6 t to the height of 5.7 m (5730 lb 18.7' high) • forklift is designed to work on rough terrain • quick, efficient material handling • forklift is available in either two or four wheel drive-operator compartment is designed for comfort and ease of operation ND9-031 forklift was developed especially for easier and more efficient material handling over rough terrain.

Entrepreneurs see private initiatives as solution to region's transportation woes By MARY K. BLEW ITT Arundel New spapers Slate \\ riter Transportation should proceed 'development. This is a philosophy shared by two unlikely comrades in' -volved in mass transportation projects. Najeeh Halahv of DART Rail ■ and Ralph Stanley of the Toll Road - 'Corporat ion of Virginia. I he two also support the concept 1 of public-private transportation projects — a practice they have made ' into a business. • ' Mr. Halaby chairman of the ' board of the 1 tulles Access Rapid Transit Corp , is seeking to build a light rail system from west of Washington. D.C., along 1-fib to Dulles ' -a'nd eventually farther west. Mr. ' -Stanley is head of the company that plans to extend the existing Dulles Toll Road, which now run.-' from the • Washington Beltway west to the air port, west from the airport to Leesburg. Conceivably, the two are com’ -jletitors, since travelers have to 1 choose between road and rail. Rut. Mr Stanley said, that probably ■ 'won't be the case, since better trails poration means people make more trips. Mobility means more rtmvement. Messrs.

Both Stanley and Halaby dis cussed the status of their efforts to set down transportation infrastnature needs. The Toll Road Corp. of Virginia, which is headquartered in Leesburg, has just been given the go ahead by the Commonwealth Transportation Board to construct and operate the Dulles Toll Road extension as a private toll road. The corporation now looks to the State Corporation Com mission for its approval. 1 he state would fund the 18-mile extension, which would stretch from Route 28 to Leesburg, through bonds to be paid for by toll revenue. If approved, the road extension is expected to be complete and operable by the close of 1991. Mr. Stanley estimates that if the project is built on schedule, it could be built $100 150 million cheaper than it would cost the state to build the extension. DART Rail is a metro proposal designed to extend the Washington rail system west from Washington along 1-06. A possible route mapped out by Mr. Halaby continues the Metro beyond the Vienna line to the point where Route 28 and 1-66 unite and then veers back toward Vienna. “Later, we go up the median strip of (Stanley’s) private toll road," explained Mr. Halabv The Toll Road b xtensim. and DARI Kail are two ot wliat Mi lla laby called the “four wheeled innovative movement” of public private participation in the Northern Vir gnua region. The Virginia Railway Express and Route 28 are the othei participants. 1’he projects, however, have been hindered or delaved b\ public and political barriers "Metro is great,” said Mi Halaby, “but it is financially disastrous.” The currently authorized and approved projects for the Washington Metro are beyond any amount that members of Congress would ap prove.

Therefore the burden of building and paying for roads and rail systems rests with private industry and the users in cooperation with state agencies. Mr. Halaby said he believes the way to finance the rail is through a special transportation district. Plans for DAKT Rail an* held up in Fairfax County where land owners must petition for a transportation service district If the owners of .71 percent of the assessed valuat ion agi ee to a tax district, they will be taxed up to 20 cents per $100 valuation. Then a Northern Virginia Transportation Commission would be set up to issue bonds serviced by the tax. The TRCV also is seeking approval from land owners. Unlike the state, which is able to condemn land for the state use, TRCV must rely on landowner donations to clear the path for the toll road extension. Approximately 70 percent of the land owners have agreed to contribute thusfar, according to Mr. Stanley. lake any business. Mr. Stanley believes he must work to sell his product. “We are marketing a piece of infrastructure." the corporation's chairman and chief executive officer said. “The more cars we can attract, the better.” Mr. Stanley said he considers nearby Route 7 and U.S. 50 his competition, particularly because they are toll free. However, he does not see tolls as a deterrent. “In my view people will pay for mobility in this region,” said Mr. Stanley. The problem is, he explained, is that the people think that they have been paying but are not getting their value back. With the toll road extension, Mr. Stanley predicts a good return, a $10 million to $15 million surplus per year. “We’re taking on the full risk of the extension,” explained Stanley. If the firm’s revenue projections prove totally baseless and the company goes under, “I've got a bunch of very angry bondholders, any you’ve got a free road.” The next move to follow roads and railways is to arrive at a plan for spending the surplus, said Mr. Stanley. He advocates keeping and spending the money locally. Looking down the road 40 year, Mr. Stanley said people should be thinking mass transit. Both he and Mr. Halaby predict that environmental laws will seriously inhibit transportation building efforts by the year 2000. Prospects for DART rail in 1989 are fairly good, said Mr. Halaby. Comparing the progression of Mr. Stanley’s Dulles Toll Road project with DART Rail, Hallaby said, “We're still in the station, he’s pulling out.” d^tunnhi— A FINE ARTS GALLERY ON MAIN STREET VILLAGE OF SPERRYVILLE 703-987-9333 HOURS: SATURDAY & SUNDAY, NOON TO 5:30 PM Limited Edition Prints Custom Framing Dry Mounting Numerous Frame Profiles Wildlife Nature Americana Civil War Mill Pond Press Dealer Lower Marsh Creek Press American Print Gallery Many Fine Catalogs We feature national, international, and local artists, including the unique and sensitive minature oil foothill landscapes by Deborah Cass Hoffman!

Come, dine with us!‘ Avtex faces $990K fine for pollution By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer RICHMOND — A Virginia Circuit Court judge has fined Avtex Fibers Front Royal Inc. $990,000 for violating an agreement with the State Water Control Board to cease polluting the Shenandoah River. The rayon manufacturing company may shake the fine imposed last week, however, if it succeeds in making mandated repairs by next February. Since Avtex officials signed a consent decree in January, Avtex violated the agreement with the State Water Control Board on approximately 18 different occasions, resulting in 99 violations of the state permit. Judge T..J. Markow fined Avtex the maximum civil penalty of $10,000 per violation, but stipulated that the company may purge itself of fines by compliance. The arrangement may have saved the company, which told the judge at the June 31 hearing that should the $2 million fine agreed to in the consent decree be imposed immediately, the company would have to close its doors. Despite the heavy fine, Judge Markow, who toured the aging plant in June, did not fault the company’s efforts to comply. “Avtex has not willfully or deliberately violated this court's final consent decree,” the judge said. “It has made and is making good faith efforts to repair the plant to prevent pollution discharges into the Shenandoah River.” Both Avtex and state officials responded positively to the judge’s decision. Pleased that the judge appreciated the efforts of Avtex officials, Nick Nichols, Avtex spokesman said, ’“We are acti vel.v working with the State Water Control Hoard to determine exactly what should be done in the next few months to continue the guarantee compliance with the judge's order.” Following the judge’s decision, Attorney General Mary Sue Terry released a statement: “The court has affirmed what I’ve been saying for many months: Avtex is welcome to operate in Virginia only if it obeys our laws anil conducts its affairs in a manner that does not degrade our environment and threaten the health and safety of our citizens.” The river pollution was caused by two main sources. according to Judge Markow. Process acid discharge through the storm sewer was not properly monitored. Also, zinc compounds leaked onto the floor, seeping into the ground to the storm sewer and making its way into the river. "The condition of the acid reclaim areas of the plant in general is such that uneventful operation is likely to be the exception rather than the rule," said Judge Markow, who blamed years of neglect. The storm sewer pipes, designed to carry rain water, contained holes as “big as a man’s head. ” The months of June and July have been free of permit violations. Mr. Nichols reported. The company, which decreased its production size by 40 percent at the end of June, estimated a 30 percent reduction in chemical emissions from 1983 to 1939. In addition to the cost of repairs ordered by the state, Avtex must share the cost of a $9 million project ordered by the Environmental Protection Agency to clean up groundwater contamination caused by Avtex Fibers and former plant owners, EMC Corp.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1989 Some wins, some losses This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Virginia Extension Service, known for years after its founding as the “College of the Fields.” This week we include in this newspaper two examples of the Extension Service’s contributions to life in rural Virginia, specifically Rappahannock County. Unfortunately, the two stories illustrate both success and failure in the Extension Service’s programs. The county’s Extension Homemakers Clubs continue to suffer a decline in membership which has accelerated in recent years. It is symptomatic not just of the particular club, but of the same trend in civic organizations in general. But since its membership is primarily homemakers, the skyrocketing number of women working fulltime outside the home has put a severe dent in the Homemakers Clubs’ numbers. Last week the county’s 4-H members and leaders participated in th Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show in Culpeper. By all accounts the week was a complete success, enjoyed by all who participated. And along with the enjoyment of the 4-H members, there were also many residents who visited the show to see their neighbors’ exhibit and compete. The county’s 4-H clubs are in better shape than the Homemakers, with youngsters continuing to reap the benefits of the myriad programs offered by that branch of ' Extension. A new pilot program has been started involving Rappahannock County, which if it is successful (which seems likely so far) will be expanded to include the entire state. That is an example of an innovative approach to excite children about important issues. But 4-H has also suffered from declining enrollment as youngsters are offered more and more programs from other organizations. Its strength is the link between its programs and the traditional pursuits of a rural community. But as Rappahannock County continues to become more an outpost of suburbia, interest could wane there too. We hope not. Perhaps the root of the problem lies in the fact that more organizations than ever are offering programs and services to our residents. That, by itself, almost guarantees that fewer people will join particular organizations. People have only so much time, and they will tend to devote their energy toward something which most nearly reflects their interests. We don’t know what the answer to the Homemakers Clubs problem is — or even if there is an answer. But certainly the county’s clubs have a proud heritage, and we hope that they will continue to serve the county’s residents in some form. Commentary Rappahannock News pho(a/Cindy Mahan, Rappahannock Heritage ON SABBATICAL FROM UNC Greensboro, art professor Mark Gottsegen paints a rural scene near Ben Venue last week. to the editor Shuddering to think about 'President Dukakis' To the editor: My wife and I just returned from a business trip to New England. We happened to be in Massachusetts the day governor Michael Dukakis announced at a press conference his veto of $491 million in proposed programs included in the FY 1990 state budget. In his opening comments, the governor bitterly attacked his state legislature (both houses are controlled by Democrats) for not submitting a balanced budget (their request is for $12.3 billion where as the governor’s own submission last January was for $13.4 billion—more than one billion higher) and for not approving a $604 million tax increase he requested in January. He accused his own administration of “miscalculations, mistakes and misinformation.” Last year while running as a candidate for president of the United States, Governor Dukakis claimed that if elected he would focus his administration on aid to the poor, the elderly, the mentally handicapped and the homeless; on an enhanced environmental cleanup program; on more financial support for education; on a stepped-up campaign against crime, etc. Now let’s look at some of the cuts he made in the Massachusetts budget for next year: • $7.2 million cut in public safety programs, to include the lay-off of 70 to 100 state troopers. • $16 million cut from environmental programs including reduc ISN’TV'IT Qf refreshing rui rI HOPE «T STAYS TH5S WAY/ tions in hazardous waste , cleanup, recycling, and pollution control. • $62 million cut frqfn staf;e education programs with a consequent lay-off of 6,000 teachers. • $210 million cut from appropriations to cities and towns which supported the poor, the needy, and the homeless. • $3.3 million cut from programs supporting the mentally disabled. • $96.7 million cut from other state human services programs. • $39 million cut from college and university programs including student loans. • some 1,600 state employers are to be layed off. It is interesting to see what governor Dukakis left in the budget: • $123,442 for “the promotion of breeding of greyhound dogs”. • $900,000 for salary increases for Senate aides, secretaries, and clerks. • $25,000 for new furnishings for the Senate lobby at the State House. • salary and expenses for a fulltime aide for his wife, Kitty. • $11 million for grants to be handed out by the Council of Arts and Humanities. That same day, the Massachusetts legislature passed a bill authorizing a 15 percent “temporary” increase in the state income tax rate. In a state-wide poll conducted after the governor’s press conference, 71 percent of the public gave him a “bad” to “very bad” rating in his performance as governor. inree years ago the Massachusetts treasury held a comfortable surplus and a AAA bond rating. Today, the state is $619 million in debt and its bond rating has fallen to a level just above that of Louisana, the lowest of the 50 states. Given this evidence of the leadership abilities of governor Dukakis, I shudder to think where this country would be headed today if he had been elected president last November. RODERICK I.

Manage future power needs To the editor: The metropolitan areas of Virginia are fortunate to have experienced economic prosperity over the past several years. With prosperity comes the potential for economic growth which, although many are opposed, is for the most part inevitable. Electrical power is a requirement to support growth but presents a paradox in that we all want and need uninterrupted power for our daily activities, but don’t want the high voltage transmission lines that deliver the power to impact our lives. Whether you are currently affected by a Virginia Power proposal for high transmission lines or could be in the future, we believe that we can receive the power we need and have the power to control where and how the high voltage transmission lines are delivered. we realize inai cnange is inevitable and that change without consideration for the least social and environmental impact is irresponsible. With respect to any proposed high voltage transmission lines, we are asking that the Virginia Legislature, the State Corporation Commission, and local governments require Virginia Power to comply with the following recommendations based on the real and potential social and environmental impacts of these lines. We are asking all readers of this letter to send a copy as an individual, as a petition, or as a representative of an organized group (e.g. civic association) to the President of Virginia Power, the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, their local government representatives, and their State Delegates and Senators. (1) Virginia Power needs to work more closely with the governing bodies and planning departments of the areas impacted to determine the need for the proposed lines in the timeframes suggested and to deter^ mine the best locations based on the current and long range plans of the areas. (2) If the need, timeframes, and locations are appropriate, Virginia Power should not install high voltage transmission lines that pass through or border-care facilities, or day-care facilities without an offset of 500 feet from the center line to any existing or planned occupied structures and without using the pole of choice by the area due to the known property value, potential health, and potential environmental impacts. (3) If this is not feasible, Virginia Power should install high voltage transmission lines underground when passing through or bordering these existing or planned areas and facilities. We believe the implementation of these recommendations will demonstrate a responsible attitude change on the part of Virginia Power and will benefit the citizens of the areas impacted by proposed high transmission lines. Whether you are currently impacted by such a propo- ■ sal or could be in the ftiture, working together we can have “Power To The People.” For more information about the “Power to the People” campaign, contact Earl R.

Meet the GOP ticket To the editor: Hopefully, readers of the Rappahannock News have seen the advertisements in last week’s issue and in this one informing everyone of the opportunity to meet, talk with and hear Marshall Coleman, Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia; Andy Guest, Republican candidate for the House of Delegates from our District; Kevin Miller, sitting State Senator for our District and possibly U.S. Congressman D. French Slaughter, Jr. Everyone is invited to attend between 3 and 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, at the Washington Fire Hall. It does not matter if you are democrat, republican or independent. It is an opportunity (for most of us, probably the only one) to talk personally with the candi dates, tell them how we feel about issues important to us, listen to what they have to say. Chances look about even that Mr. Coleman will be Virginia’s next Governor; now’s the opportunity to look him over and see if you can support him. During the first hour, the candidates will be available to meet and talk personally with interested voters. In thd second, each candidate and other honored visitors will say a few words. There won’t be any long speeches! We plan to have light refreshments available. There will be no admission charge or pressure to contribute! We want Rappahannock County’s voters to attend this informal meeting - to look, listen, then decide! JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville

Political moves mirror demographic changes byjohn goolrick Rappahannock News Special Writer Politicians who don’t study demographics—the science of knowing where the people are—often meet the same fate as General Custer, who badly underestimated the Indian population at Little Big Horn. For three decades, Virginia has steadily moved from a largely rural economy to one that depends more now on computer chips and tourism than apples and tobacco. The state’s growth has been explosive, particularly along the socalled Golden Crescent from Northern Virginia to Tidewater. .Most of the new residents are people with no roots in Virginia and no prior knowledge of state politics. Their influx has continually diminished the influence of the old Courthouse crowd that once controlled the state from rural bastions. When redistricting rolls around in J991, the full measure of the population growth in the 1980’s will practically sweep away the last vestiges of the stranglehold rural Virginia once had on the rest of the state. ^Northern Virginia will exact its revenge for all those years when it was treated as a distant disreputable cousin barely worth acknowledging. -This year, 64 years after the Byrd Era started with the election of "Harry Flood Byrd as governor, a new era may be imminent, one in which the politics of moderation and pragmatism will hold increasing sway. The nominees of the two m^jor parties for governor are both essentially outsiders to the conservative branches of their parties. Doug Wilder has never been part of the conservative Democratic establishment that dominated the General Assembly; and Marshall Coleman was never part of the conservative faction that until now controlled the inner workings of the state Republican Party. To get where they are, both had to go over the heads of staunch conservatives who suspected them of hiding liberal streaks within their makeups. And even now some conservative elements in their parties wince at the thought of them heading the statewide tickets. Yet both realize that the power of the hard-core conservatives, exemplified by the old Main Street crowd, has eroded. While key legislative posts are still retained by conservative Democrats because of seniority, time and the changing nature of Virginians is pushing the General Assembly toward the center. When legislation to require covered trucks can be passed against the will of the leadership and the powerful trucking industry, a signal is sent of what is yet to come when another redistribution of power occurs. National GOP chairman Lee Atwater, talking recently, noted that the once powerful conservative wing of the national party now constitutes only about 25 percent of it. To hold that constituency, Atwater had George Bush promise no new taxes, leaving him free to take moderate stances on other issues. Always one to seize the moment, Coleman has already pledged no new taxes if he’s elected governor. He realizes that conservatives don’t wield the same control over the GOP in Virginia that they did when the Reagan years began and now he can move into the center for the crucial swing vote without fear of losing either Republican or independent conservatives who aren’t likely to vote for Wilder. On the day after his nomination, Coleman, who’ll need lots of money, went not to the old familiar Main Street Richmond types, the chief Republican money machines in the past, but to Northern Virginia lawyer-developer John “Til” Hazel who has emerged as the latter day king of GOP financial angels. Unlike the Main Street folks whose outlook is deeply rooted in philosophical conservatism, Hazel and the new breed of fat-cats are pragmatists of the first order. They want more roads and new sources of water supply and an environment favorable to bringing in even more new people whose presence will change the state’s political outlook even more. In Wilder’s case with the vote of blacks and moderate-liberals and liberals sewed up, he can gravitate even more toward the center-right and is already doing so. He has reassured nervous conservatives he will defend the state’s right-to-work law, has reinstated his support of the death penalty and assured business interests he stands behind the probusiness policies of the Robb and Baliles administrations. To say the Virginia electorate has changed, though, is not to suggest liberalism will become rampant. It is merely to state that future governors are likely to build on the pragmatic approaches of Governors Robb and Baliles who were far more interested in solving problems on a case by case basis than making speeches about ideology. Virginians in this time of transition appear to be more concerned about what can be done to get them to work faster or make their neighborhoods safe than hearing about Jeffersonian principles of limited government and fiscal restraint.

DOT MANK Washington The question is, 'Why?' To the editor: Well, gosh, let me try again to answer last week’s querying letter. Yes, marijuana is considered an illegal substance. The important question to ask is, “why is marijuana an illegal substance?” Other equally dangerous drugs are condoned by our government as they share in the profits of their sale. I speak of the tax on alcohol and tobacco. Also, when did the citizenry of the United States decide that it was necessary to have Congress dictate what we should or should not consume? I feel that I can make that choice adequately and that it is somewhat a matter of personal freedom for me to make that choice. History has proven that people will make those choices regardless of laws, and that chaos and crime usually rampage through a society in the face of such law's! Does anyone remember prohibition? Maybe “moonshine” still rings a bell? Now that eggs and bacon have been found to be unhealthy, should we have our law enforcement officers begin raiding refrigerators for those demon eggs? Maybe they should set fire to those flocks of egglaying chickens. No, I am sure we all agree that we can decide how to con trol our cholesterol intake without a new law. Our law enforcement officers provide an invaluable service to the community arid deserve tremendous praise. They are there to help us at all hours of the day, and they protect us from criminals who would infringe on our personal freedoms. Each day hundreds of people are maimed or killed on our highways, sometimes the result of a reckless driver. I would prefer that our law enforcement officers could concentrate on this tremendous threat to society instead of searching for “pot”. I do not believe that David’s marijuana farm has in anyway threatened the lives of the citizens of Rappahannock County, unless of course, that darned helicopter decides to fall out of the sky. With fellow human beings starving to death on our very planet, how can we as a nation be so extravagant to spend millions of dollars on this absurd cause? Consider, that same helicopter could be employed to deliver supplies and food to our neighbors in Africa. Wouldn’t that be nice? JOHN LEKANDER Sperryville Housing — at what price? By ELAINE SCOTT Extension Family Finance Specialist When you start looking for a new house you’ll probably hear many rules of thumb about how much house you can afford. Some common ones are: Your house should cost no more than 2.5 times your annual income. Total housing costs should not exceed 25 percent of your gross income. Don’t spend more than 35 percent of your take home pay on housing expenses. The major problem with these rules of thumb is that they don’t work in today’s market. Interest rates fluctuate, housing prices have gone up tremendously since the * 1970’s and other housing costs such as insurance and property tax also have increased dramatically. The median price of homes in the South in 1987 was $80,400. Some areas in Virginia have a median housing price of $159,000. The rules of thumb say you would need an an nual income of at least $32,000 to afford to buy an $80,400 home. That’s well above the median family income in Virginia. (A median is the middle of a range. It is not an average. The median home price of $80,400 means half of all homes cost more than that, and half cost less.) How can you figure how much house to buy? Take a look at your budget. Add up all your expenses other than housing. Be sure to include all costs, including the irregular expenses such as car insurance and school clothes. What you have left is the maximum amount that can be spent on housing. This estimate will work assuming that your pay raises will keep pace with rising costs and you have considered all other expenses including emergencies. This housing figure must be enough to pay the mortgage princi Stop aid to Communists To the editor: The current leaders of Red China are the direct descendants of Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai, the worst mass murderers in all history. Why is anyone surprised at the bloody repression of the past few weeks? Shouldn’t a Communist be expected to act as Communists have always acted? Even the Guiness Book of Records lists the leaders of Red China as mankind’s most bloody tyrants, the murders of somewhere in the order of 60 million of their fellow citizens. It is important to note that these victims did not die during wars. They were liquidated in typical Communist fashion, to spread terror and to consolidate power. Reason and compassion for Communism’s victims dictate that the only proper response to the bloodletting in Peking (Bei jing) is U.S. withdrawal of diplomatic recognition and the consequent cessation of all aid, trade, credits, technology and equipment that is helping to keep the Communist government afloat. We never should have extended diplomatic recognition to Red China, or to any Communist national. Doing so never helped the people who suffer under Communism; it only helps the leaders who exercise tyrannical rule. The Communist leader who ordered the butchery, Deng Xiaoping, recently gave a speech, portions of which were published by the New York Times. The Chinese leader said: “Once we have stabilized the political situation and have the economy going again, the foreigners are still going to come knocking at our door.” This is sad but true, for when the Soviets attacked KAL 007 in 1983 and there was a great furor, the Soviets said it would have no lasting effect on their ties to other nations. They were right and the U.S., especially, kept sending them equipment, supplies, and credits. Will the butchers in Peking also be correct? Will the United States continue to help them maintain their tyranny? The American people would like to believe otherwise, but present indications are that no matter what the Communists world does, the pal and interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI). Families may spend 35 percent to 45 percent of their gross income on housing costs. Whether you could afford to do this depends on what your other expenses are and how much other debt you have. Other considerations are the requirements by the lenders. Many lenders require a 20 percent down payment or the purchase of private mortgage insurance. Dr. Elanine Scott is a family finance specialist nrith Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech. leaders of our nation will continue to aid them. Our nation’s help to Communists anywhere must stop. STEPHEN L.

Mrs. Johnson succeeds William M. Carrigan who has . held the position of Chairman of the Board for the past six years and whose term had expired in accordance with the provisions of the Library charter. Rappahannock County public schools will open August 27. Public schools in Warren county will also begin their 1969-70 session Wednesday, August 27, with classes being dismissed at 2 p.m. on opening day. The following day will resume the usual schedule. Monday, September 1, will be a holiday. 15 YEARSAGO August 1, 1974 Rappahannock’s Supervisors are scheduled to talk about a comprehensive plan for the county at their meeting today* (Thursday).

Thomas Von Fange Hello From Reynolds Memorial Baptist We from Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church welcome visitors and enjoy worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ with our guest. Fellowship with believers is fellowship with the body of Christ. Just as football fans can't wait to crowd the Superbowl, we Christians get excited about worshipping our Savior together at church. Worship goes far beyond the service on Sunday morning, in fact, the real worship begins as we leave the building and present our lives as a living sacrifice to the Lord. (Romans 12:1). In Acts 26:20 we are told by the sacred scriptures that we should prove our repentance by our actions. In modem day street language we might say "We should walk the talk." It s so exciting to realize that bom again believers are the temple of holy spirit. (1 Cor. 3:16) The church is not a building, it's not stained glass, it's not a fancy cross or long robes, the church of Jesus Christ is made up of all believers. We are called in the New Testament "Ambassadors for Christ" (2 Cor. 5:20), as though God were making his appeal to men through us. That's why our lives must be different from the rest of the world. We are the salt of the Earth and if salt loses its saltyness it's no good. (Luke 14:34) I liked what one graduating senior from Rappahannock High School said "We're tired of hearing sermons, we'd like to see someone live one." Christians have a challenge, but God left us the gift of the holy spirit to comfort us and empower us for the mighty works of god. (Luke 24:49) God bless you and keep you and may his face shine upon you. If you're looking for a place to worship, visit us!

LFCC offers business help , Want to start a business? Have a problem with one you already have? Lord Fairfax Community College fnay be your answer. . Since it opened in December, 11^87 the Small Business Assistance Renter at LFCC has been consulted by more than 150 persons about business matters ranging from finding a location, obtaining licensing, and improving recordkeeping to setting a price for the sale of the business. Many others have availed themselves of information from printed materials which are supplied to the Center by the Small Business Administration. Ihe Center is open from 11 a.m. yntil 3 p.m. each Wednesday. Walkins are welcome during those hours, or you may make an appointment by telephone, according to the Center. • Last year the ,Center received a gfant which enabled it to survey area small businesses to determine their educational and training needs for both employees and managers. As a result of the information gained, a series of seminars has been set up for the academic year which begins Aug. 28. These seminars (and other training programs of the College) are particularly important in light of a labor report which indicates that the 16 to 24 year-old age group is “shrinking.” As a result, according to Jules Lichtenstein, chief of the Applied Policy Branch Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration, “employers will have to reach into the ranks of the less qualified and other groups to get their entry-level workers.” Small businesses hire two-thirds of all new entry-level workers and are, therefore, more likely to hire and have to train less qualified workers. ' To receive information concerning the Small Business Assistance Center, the seminars, and other offerings of the Center, dial (703) 8691120 or (800) 666-5322 (V/TDD) and ask for the Office of Continuing Education.

Harvesting summer's bounty By DIANE RELF Extension Home Economist Does a vine-ripened, homegrown tomato look different from a hothouse produced, grocery store tomato? With tomatoes, it may be easy to tell when fruit is ripe, but for a beginning gardener, telling when to harvest produce may be difficult. Sometimes as much produce is lost to improper harvesting as to insects. Here are descriptions of harvesting cues for some commonly homegrown vegetables. Green or Wax Snap Beans: Pick when the pods are full size, but before the seeds cause the pods to bulge. The newer varieties can be delayed until the beans are full size as long as the pods are still tender. The pods should break easily with a “snap” when ready for harvesting. Pole and Half Runner Beans: Harvest at the same stage as snap beans or, allow to mature for shell beans. When mature, pods will split open easily and seed will come free from the pod. Lima Beans: rods should be green with swellings to show the beans inside. Open a pod or two. Beans should be plump but still green or gray-green (not white). Pick often to prolong picking season. Sweet Corn: Harvest while the husk is still dark green. Kernels should be full size and yellow or white to the tip of the ear. Puncture a kernel with your thumbnail or a pocketknife. If the juice is pasty, the ear is too mature. If it is clear, the ear is not mature enough. If the juice looks like milk, the ear is just right for harvest. Com is sweetest just as the silk blackens. Remember that com matures very rapidly in hot weather and that most varieties should be refrigerated immediately after picking to prevent the sugar from turning to starch. Cucumbers: Harvest while young and green when the seeds are soft. To use cukes for sweet pickles, harvest when two to three inches long; for dills, five to six inches long; and for slicing, six to eight inches. Yellowing indicates old age. Don’t, allow old cucumbers to remain on the vine because they will keep the vine from bearing more cucumbers. Muskmelons: Pick them at “full slip” stage when the stem separates readily from the fruit. Fully ripe melons are sweetest. As the melon ripens, the netting becomes more prominent and the background color changes from a light green to a tan or yellow cast. After harvesting, the fruit can be held at room temperature for one to three days until the blossom end softens. They develop the best flavor when they ripen in warm, dry weather. They may taste more like cucumbers if they mature in cool, rainy weather. Okra or Gumbo: The best quality is when the pods are two to three inches long. They may have to be harvested daily to get the quality size. Pick within a few days after the flower petals have fallen whether pods are to be used or not. If pods are too tough to pierce with your thumbnail, they’re too tough to eat. Cut and discard mature pods, to keep the plant producing. Eggplant: Harvest when the fruits are large and shiny and an even, deep purple color. To tell if the fruit is mature, press the side of the fruit slightly. If the indentation remains, it is mature. Keep mature fruits picked and plants will produce over a long period of time. Fruit in which the seeds have turned brown are of poor quality and past the edible stage. Potatoes: Dig them whenever tubers are large enough to eat. Dig only what will be used immediately, because they keep better in the soil than in a warm house or basement. Harvest when the tops have died down but before the first heavy freeze. When digging, avoid skinning and injury. Avoid long exposure of potatoes to light. Tomatoes: Harvest them when fully vine-ripened and dark red. Regardless of the stage of maturity, picked tomatoes should be put in the shade not the sun. Light is not necessary for immature tomatoes to ripen. Sun causes uneven ripening and abnormal color formation. To obtain good color and flavor, hold partly ripe fruit at 70 F, then put them in the refrigerator. Pick some green tomatoes and store in a cool (about 55 F), moist, dark place before the first*' killing frost. Ripen by putting them' in a location that is 70 F. Cabbage: Harvest anytime after a firm head develops. If some plants can’t be harvested after they reach full maturity, cut the roots on one side with a spade to reduce the possibility of head splitting from excess water intake. If heads have not split, . they can be stored for long periods at temperatures of 32 to 45 F. Broccoli: Cut while clustered flower heads are firm and green, before buds show yellow petals. Take heads with leaves and five or six inches of stem (also edible). Leave the plants, they will produce smaller heads on side branches. Brussels sprouts: Twist or snap off sprouts when they are firm and still deep green (usually about the time lowest big leaves start to yellow). Harvest lowest sprouts first. ■ Upper ones will continue to enlarge to harvesting size. The flavor of Brussels sprouts improves after exposure to frosts. Cauliflower: As soon as blossom heads (farmers call them curds) begin to form, pull the upper outer leaves over them to shade from the sun. This blanching process gives a white curd. Inspect from time to' time and cut off curd when the flower sections begin to separate. Kale: Cut off bottom leaves from plants as neeeded. turnips and rutabagas: Pull young plants with tiny roots to thin rows and give growing room to the remaining plants. Eat thinnings, tops and all. At two-inch diameters, • roots are tastiest, and tips are still. good as greens. At three inches and above, roots are still good and store a little better. Late planted rutabagas can stay in the ground until needed. Sweet Peppers: Harvest when large and green, or allow to turn red for color interest. Cut them, rather than pull them, from the plant to avoid breaking brittle branches.

New ATV regulations crippled by exemptions BLACKSBURG—A new law restricting all-terrain vehicle use in Virginia sounds good on the surface, but lacks the strength to make major changes in the way most people use ATV’s says a Virginia Cooperative Extension safety specialist. The law, passed by the General Assembly, and in effect July 1, requires riders to be at least 12 years old and to wear state-police-approved helmets, says Glen Hetzel, safety specialist and agricultural engineer at Virginia Tech. But a number of exemptions take the teeth out of those and other requirements. “This law is a start in the area of ATV safety.” Mr. Hetzel said, “but on the other side of the coin, right now you can look at it and say we really don’t have much—and you’re probably right because of the exemptions.” The law itself includes five basic provisions: 1) ATV’s are prohibited on public roads; 2) anyone younger than 16 and older than 12 may not operate an ATV with an engine size larger than 90cc; 3) no one may operate an ATV without an approved helmet; 4) operating an ATV on someone else’s property without written consent is prohibited; and 5) operating an ATV with a passenger is prohibited. These provisions must appear on all ATV’s sold by retailers in the state. Family members or employees operating an ATV on a farm or on family-owned land, however, are exempt from the provisions, Mr. Hetzel said. That means as long as you operate an ATV on your own property, or use an ATV for farming activities, you don’t need to adhere to any of the regulations. Mr. Hetzel said he hopes the law will be beefed up as time goes on. “In my opinion, this is the beginning,” he said. “I predict that in the next few years, we’ll see some of these exemptions done away with.” The original version of the bill was stronger, Mr. Hetzel said, and the exemptions came as a result of hard lobbying by farm interests and recreationists. ATV use in Virginia is very high and on the increase, he said. The state ranks 7th or 8th in the nation in accident rates, with more than 20 people killed. Most of those killed were children, Mr. Hetzel added. “To give you some reference point for the danger of ATV’s ' you’re six times more likely to be injured riding an ATV as you are a bicycle, and 12 times more likely to be killed,” he said. > » Many children, particularly those under 12, are not physically and ‘ mentally skilled enough to ride an ATV, he said. “The three-wheeled ATV’s in particular, but even the' four-wheelers, require a good deal of body control,” Hetzel said, adding that although the sale of threewheelers is prohibited, many are still in use “You have to lean and shift your weight to get the ATV to do what you want, and a small person may not have enough body mass to do that. Children may drive an ATV slow enough to compensate for their size, but there are always unexpected ! dangers that could throw them off, ' he said. There might be a deep hole ; around the next bend, or a dog might run out in front of the machine. L,ack ot mental matunty can also be a factor. “You have to know when to slow." down, when it’s safe to accelerate,. > change course, or to control the im-. pulse to show off,” he said. “It takes a certain level of maturity to do those things, and I think it’s a rare ; instance when a child under 12 : shows those processes. ” Mr. Hetzel said violations of the new ATV law«will be, punished by fines not to exceed $500. Also exempt from the new law are residents of Tangier Island, a ' community off the Virginia coast where automobiles are not per- ■ mitted.

Day REALTOR WHEN TO MARKET A HOME Ten years ago, if you asked me which time of year was best for selling a home, I would have answered. Spring and Fall. How things have changed. Today, variations in home sale activity from seasn to season are less pronounced. Now, short-term changes in mortgage interest rates (which affect affordability) are more likely to influence the market than any of Mother Nature's seasons. Today’s home buyer is much more attuned to the financial market than ever before. If interest rates drop, they are ready to capitalize on the opportunity. If rates appear to be headed upward, they are ready to lock in the most favorable rate. In addition to fluctuating rates, most buyers are well aware of pricing. If a house is favorably priced, they will trudge through ANY weather to secure a transaction. If you are represented by our agency, you can be assured that your home will sell within the normal time range, regardless of the season.

Cooking with Cold salads for hot summer BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Salad days are here again. With the weather getting steadily muggier, a hot and heavy meal is the last thing anyone wants to consider eating, let alone cooking. Whether from a calfs leg or a crab, salads featuring meats always seem a little more special and certainly a lot more nutritious than just a plain lettuce salad. Some of the all-time classic salads were obviously invented to disguise the second time around for the previous day’s special roast beef or baked ham. The chefs salad frequently is mistreated, coming out as a few slices of boiled ham and pressed turkey with Swiss cheese and watery lettuce. This culinary creation was never intended as a dish to be prepared by rote. It was created to make the most of whatever fresh vegetables, assorted cheeses and cooked meats were lying around a restaurant kitchen. Since that daring chef raided his kitchen, combining meats and cheeses in what has become the classic meat salad, both chefs and home cooks have become very imaginative with both greenery and meat. Anything from smoked ham to marinated scallops can be the foundation of an irresestible salad. One of the all-American meat creations is the Cobb’s salad. This favorite California dish reveals its roots through the avocado that enhances the flavors of the chicken, Swiss cheese, bacon bits and egg slices. Today leftovers can still play a valuable role in meat salads. But the range of ingredients in markets has broadened immeasurably. Italian sausages, smoked ham or turkey. flank steak, lamb, duck and ground beef are a few of the butcher’s offerings for summer salads. Crabmeat, shrimp, lobster, scallops and even squid are options found in the fish case of supermarkets. At this time of year the produce stands are piled high with fresh vegetables to enhance meat salads. Just the greens selection is an experience: Romaine, Boston, bibb, redleaf and even dirt-free hydroponic lettuce, cabbages and dozens of new types of sprouts. Then there are all of the wonderful summer vegetables: artichokes, avocados, zucchini and yellow squashes, fresh corn, tomatoes, scallions, leeks and more.

Its blanh taste and color are no match or eveji complement for robustly flavored meats and seafood. Other choices for meat salads can come from either the pantry shelf or specialty markets. Olives, both black and pimento-stuffed green ad a tangy accent to any salad. HarjC cooked eggs do double duty both as garnish and main ingredient and also} as a thickener for some dressing^ when the yolks are mashed with the’ oil and vinegar or mayonnaise. \ i Sun-dried tomatoes are a new op-4 tion for meat salads. Although they} are comparatively expensive, just a} few add an intense flavor, especially} to bean salads. Nuts, especially^ toasted pecans, cashews, and pinei-i nuts or coarsely chopped walnutfe? and macadamias, add flavor and tex;-} ture. •} Last but not least there are all of: the cheeses, from the typical Ameri-| can Cheddars and Jack cheeses to the] new goat cheeses, any of which is] great just crumbled over a salad of] blended into the dressing.

SummerQuest! challenges students By BRION PATTERSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Regional Governor’s School, “SummerQuest!,” is hosting 110 students from Rappahannock and three neighboring counties during the first two weeks of August. The Regional Governor’s School is an enrichment program sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education for gifted and talented students. SummerQuest serves students from the counties of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Fauquier in grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. Rappahannock’s contribution is directed by Maggi Piper. In accordance with the theme of SummerQuest, “a range of possibilities,” students chose from among seven areas of concentration: art, creative writing, journalism through print and video, the mountains, musical theater, problem solving and computer math, and science. Most of SummerQuest is held at Culpeper Junior High School; however, “The Mountains” class is taught in Rappahannock by RCHS’s Jon Heddleston, with his pupils bused in daily from their home counties. All of Rappahannock’s 12 SummerQuest students are participating in the Culpeper-based classes, and travel daily by bus to town where they interact with outstanding young people of their own age from other school divisions. SummerQuest classes differ greatly from usual school-year classes. There are no tests, no homework. Hands-on activities with opportunities for interaction and creativity are emphasized. The resulting enthusiasm is amazing. For example, the only discipline problem that across during last year’s SummerQuest was when administrators insisted that the kids take a full 30 minutes for lunch - the teachers needed the break, but the students couldn’t wait to get back to their projects! Although the various classes have the same overall goals, each subject area reaches these goals through unique activities. For example, the musical theater class - with the largest enrollment and taught by two Culpeper teachers - will use the two weeks as intense preparation so that following the Awards Ceremonies on Aug. 11 this class will perform a full musical revue (open to the public at 1 p.m.). The next largest enrollment is in the science class taught by RCHS’s Brion Patterson. Students here will test their group problem solving abilities in a “science Olympics" as well as in an innovative program which combines LEGO bricks and logo computer programming. The Mountains was begun last year by Jon Heddleston, serving only Rappahannock youngsters. This year he has become part of the Summer-Quest Governor’s School, and is serving kids on a regional basis as well as probably several coming in from Virginia’s Eastern Shore. The Mountains is an interdisciplinary approach that helps students appreciate the environmental. social and political forces of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Students will visit sites in the field and meet with a number of experts, including a geologist, park ranger, and many local officials and celebrities. All students who successfully complete SummerQuest will be awarded a certificate signed by the Governor, testifying to their participation in a program of outstanding scholars and performers. This is the second year in this part of the state for the Regional Governor’s School. SummerQuest is expected to continue during coming years, although it probably will not be sited in Rappahannock, due to lack of air-conditioning. Mr. Patterson is a Physics teacher at Rappahannock.County High School, and also teaches a science class at the SummerQuest Governor's School. Carnival Continuedirqm page 1 Maryland, and the Domino Pizza “Noid.” Among the prizes which will be awarded by the department are a 1989 Dodge automobile, a registered Black Angus, two season tickets to the Redskins home games, a suite of living room furniture, a fire chiefs decanter, and several locally-produced craft items, including a quilt and an afghan. Wednesday night, Aug. 2 is Family Night. One $5 ticket will buy all rides, all night. On Thursday evening the parade begins at 6:30, but the department suggests that spectators arrive early to get a good seat and pick up a box dinner, provided by the department’s Ladies Auxiliary. According to Moe Walker, the department also plans to invite several members of the county’s Board of Supervisors to participate at the department’s dunking tank. “Did you ever feel like you wanted to throw your supervisor into a well? he asked. We have the next best thing.” A number of community members as well as elected and appointed officials have agreed to take a stint in the dunking tank. On. Wednesday evening School Board member Bryant Lee will take a turn. Thursday evening is Ladies Night, with Amy Nokes, Jackie Settle, Tammy Smith, Donna Foster and Jan Herman in the booth. On Friday evening chairman of the Board of Supervisors Hubert Gilkey will sit oh the plank from 9-10 p.m. Also taking a turn in the tank Friday evening will be Linda Heeks and Rappahannock News editor Lou Hatter, who’ll be the target from 8-9 p.m. On Saturday evening two "more supervisors will take a turn. Col. Ellis Bingham will be in the tank from 7-8 p.m., followed by Mike Massie from 8-9 p.m. "Everyone is welcome at the Flint Hill Firemen’s Carnival,” said Moe Walker. “Come out, greet old friends and make new ones.” DEALS, OEMS, DEALS!

The clubs were established as an adjunct to the Extension Service, which was designed to provide farmers in outlying areas with access to the latest information on technology and techniques. Once called Home Demonstration Clubs, the name was changed to Extension Homemakers Clubs to better represent their function a fewT years after their establishment in the early 30s. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University representatives from the Extension Service’s Blacksburg headquarters often visited communities with home demonstration groups, meeting in homes or churches. They provided educational mateHals on every topic from new home refrigeration techniques to planning a successful budget to making cheese or caning a chair. These simpe instructional and demonstrative meetings helped to influence a generation’s habits at work and play. And, old habits die hard. Mrs. Riley, a prolific seamstress, remembers one of her group’s first meetings concerned home freezers and their disadvantages. “Tech did not recommend them for personal use,” Mrs. Riley remembered, laughing a bit and adding that the Extension representatives said they were too expensive for the private homeowner. Steadfastly holding to their recommendation, she says she has never bought a chest freezer. Today, the topics have changed from canning and selling eggs to tax planning and eating for health, but they remain educational; some topics, like chair caning, keep their crafty bent. “The club offers tremendous information on issues facing homemakers, meeting the needs of the community through the individual,” said Sandra Richardson. Mrs. Richardson served as the county’s Extension agent for home economics for three years. She has recently transferred to Virginia Beach, where she holds the same post. But despite the change in emphasis to cope with the times; the membership in each club still slips away. At one time there were approximately 12 clubs in Rappahannock County. Each served one of the small and often isolated communities scattered through the hollows. Today, like the communities, the clubs are only a memory. Flint Hill and Amissville remain the strongest of the county’s three active clubs with a total of 34 members. Washington’s club has but three members. The others are defunct. “Many times we have discussed ways to interest new members,” past president and long-time Amissville club member Mary Priest said. “But nothing seems to work.” Changing meeting hours from daytime to evenings, changing the location, organized special interest days presented for the public, and telephone solicitations for membership by the club presidents are among the ways the county’s clubs have worked to stir interest. Still, membership lags. “The group itself is dwindling all across the nation,” Mrs. Richardson said, a trace of sadness in her voice. “It’s very hard for me to understand,” Mrs. Priest added, saying that the club offers such a variety of things for people to be involved in it is hard for her to imagine how anyone could not find something that interests them. Yet, says Home Economics Extension Agent Brenda Olafsen of Culpeper, the declining membership in Extension Homemakers Clubs is indicative of a general trend in women’s clubs nationwide. “Women’s groups, with the exception of those dealing with hard-core social issues and those having one-on-one direct problem solving, have a dwindling membership.” When they were established, Ms. Olafsen added, the need for the Homemakers Clubs was great and the membership reflected that need. But as times change, so does demand. “Young people don’t have the time to put into the group,” said County Council President Marie Davis, who is also president of the Washington club. Most women now work outside the home and often outside the county. She encourages male membership in the traditionally all-female club, adding that “as the role of father changes, it’s important to have a support group.” But suportive ideas, like doing one’s own taxes, caning an old chair, quilting or learning to use the microwave to its full potential, can now be learned from other sources. And an increase in disposable income means that other tasks can be hired out rather than attempted at home. “Most of what this club offers is what people can learn from the media,” said Helen Guthrie, a long-time member of the now-defunct Woodville Extension Homemakers Club. “But you can’t get the personal touch from books.” Mrs. Guthrie agrees that the lack of interest is not unique to the Homemakers Clubs but is representative of a trend in many social groups today. “People do not want to get involved. The personal contact is gone. You really do not get to know people the way you used to,” she said with a hint of sadness. Mrs. Guthrie said her group was among those which switched its meetings frbm daytime to evenings hoping to encourage younger members wrho work outside the home. But, “older people don’t like to drive at night,” while the younger prospects were still too busy to attend the meetings. After years of existence, the club disbanded in 1986. Struggling to hold the Washington club together, Mrs. Davis said she feels that, despite busy schedules, people should find time for such clubs. There’s more than a social aspect, she said, stressing the educational opportunities. Mrs. Davis added that “you get out what you put into the club. If something becomes boring, then you are not contributing.” With conviction, she pointed out, “no matter howT educated or old a person is, they can still learn.” And learning is what the group is all about. “So many times, people have come to me and said, ‘As a result, I have learned’,” Mrs. Richardson said, adding that, “from this, I know there is still a need for Extension Homemakers groups.” r' MODULAR CONCEPTS OF VA., LTD. , The Area's .eading Consultants^^ . Modular Home Construction ■MSSt! rience to ansi With special classes on topics ranging from will writing to self-protection, from microwave cooking to quilting, from calligraphy to figuring annual taxes, Homemakers Club members learn a little bit of everything. “I gained so much confidence,” Mrs. Davis said of her eight years experience with the club. She said that before her activities with the club “I was always a reserved person before an audience.” Holding of-; fice and representing the club helped her overcome her reservations. Mrs. Riley echoed those sentiments. “I was very shy and a loner. I rarely went out. It helped me to become more sociable. I met people that I would not have met otherwise.” Introducing new ideas to small communities formed the base for the - Extension Homemakers Clubs. Involving community newcomers' within the group brings definition to the group itself. Flo Duvall of Flint Hill explained that through the club she was able to become involved in the community after moving to the area in the 1970s. “Russie Miller invited me to a. meeting,” said Mrs. Duvall, who went on to become president of the( Flint Hill club. “It helped me get acquainted with the community.” However, whether it is holding a club office, quilting or making lap rugs for nursing home patients,, helping with 4-H camp or providing • refreshments for a baccalaureate tea, the activities take time from a busy woman’s day. Louise O’BannOn, ex-president and 25-vear member of the Woodville club, said the clubs asked too much from their members. “It was expensive to provide the materials^ and the time for the projects,” she said, explaining that the Blacksburg* headquarters expected the local clubs to contribute more and more' time as the years passed. “The projects were fun and thecclub was very active at times,” she . said, but added that when the club was designed its goal was “for ; Blacksburg to help the community, and women. That has changed to women and the community helping Blacksburg.” Mrs. O’Bannon said most of the* members of her group worked full-' time outside their homes, “but it was. fun and we made time” for the group. But time now works against the ; Homemakers Clubs as membership') lags and groups continue to disband. “Clubs are going to have to take an aggressive approach,” Mrs. Priest predicted. She said she feels that the targets lie with younger . people and better publicity. Extension Agent Olafsen said that the name “Homemakers” may mislead newcomers but a random sample taken several years ago found widespread support for retaining the name. “It may be misleading," Mrs. Priest agreed, “since many homemakers are men. But what else do you call it?” “Lifestyles have changed,” she added. “Values and morals are dif-~' ferent. The family is no longer the core of our society. We have more to pick and choose from in life and less * time to do it ourselves. But, many of the things our clubs do are things homemakers will do forever.” For more information about the Extension Homemakers Clubs, or . any other services offered by the Vir- \ ginia Extension Service, contact the Rappahannock County office in ‘ Washington (675-3619).

U.S.211 Continued from page 1 would be next July or August before construction starts. And that assumes that the bids are in the expected range, Mr. Moon said. A little less than $5.4 million is included in the budget for construction. Appraisals being reviewed In the meantime, the right-ofway department in Culpeper is preparing to start negotiating with property owners for the needed right-of-way for the road. Rodney Bledsoe, a specialist in the right-of-way review process, said that Walter Robinson, an independent appraiser, had done' appraisals, but that his recommendations must be reviewed within VDOT. Mr. Bledsoe said he was in the process of looking over the appraisals. “None have been approved for negotiation at this point in time,” he said. He said he expects to approve the appraisals in the “next tw'o or three weeks.” Then he explained the appraisals would be passed to the “negotiating department," which would prepare the necessary documents, and then the negotiating department would make appointments with property owners so the highway department could present its offers for t V property to be acquired. Mr. Bledsoe said his department would like to start with those property owners who would be having buildings taken as a part of the right-of-way acquisition process. “Mike Brown’s property — we’d like to make him number one (the first property owner contacted for negotiation),” Mr. Bledsoe said. “But because of the underground tanks, the EPA must' be involved to see if the soil is contaminated.” Mr. Bledsoe explained that this was a new requirement, and that if the soil was contaminated it would have to be removed “to a place not yet determined. We have to clear up any matters regarding soil contamination before starting negotiation.” He said the EPA had been contacted about conducting its tests of the soil. Mr. Brown, who owns B&B Servicenter, which includes a NAPA parts store, Shell gasoline station and auto repair business just east of Route 636, said Mr. Bledsoe had told him about the test for soil contamination, but “Mr. Bledsoe said not to worry about it. Let the EPA worry about it.” Mr. Brown said he wanted to work with the highway department to have a “smooth transition” from his current business to a newr location either behind the current station or to the east of it. Mr. Browm said VDOT had tried to take the store seven or eight years ago. “They gave me 90 days to get out.” At that time Mr. Brown’s mother owned the property while he ran the business. He fought the takeover and won. “I would have been ruined if I’d moved the business seven or eight years ago,” he said. Now Mr. Brown hopes to continue selling gasoline and auto parts from his location close to the existing highway until the last possible moment and relocate only the repair part of his business at first. Disputes likely, money short Meanwhile, at the other end of the first phase of the project, Loring Anderson is furious with the highway department. According to Mr. Anderson the appraiser said the highway would take all his outbuildings and most of his land at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 622 at Gid Brown Hollow, leaving him just his house with almost no land around it. “I told them they might as well take the whole thing,” he said. “I can’t live in it like that.” The budget for the project shows $575,000 for right-of-way acquisition for the project’s first phase. Some of that has been spent on parcels the highway department has already acquired. Jimmy Jenkins, the department’s Right-of-Way Manager in Culpeper, said, “Those figures are not realistic,” and he estimated that “over $1 million" would be needed for the whole process including the appraisals. Mr. Bledsoe added that it would probably be the end of August before the highway department begins negotiating with Mike Brown or any other property owner along the road. When the state finally approved the four-laning of U.S. 211 last fall after a 20-vear delay, construction was supposed to start this summer. The highway department budget and six-year plan presented at public hearings this spring included $900,000 for the project in fiscal year 1988-89. This was supposed to pay for final planning and engineering studies and for right-of-way acquisition, which was due to be finished by the end of June. 1989, according to the. six-year plan. The budget included $2 million for construction for the 1989-90 budget year, which ends next June, $1.1 million for construction in 1990-91, and another $1 million for 1991-92. Update reflects delay However, the 1989 update of the six-year plan calls for right-of-way acquisition to start this July and possibly extend through next spring, according to VDOT spokesman Frank Edens. Following a construction advertising date of April 1990, Mr. Edens said construction would start in the final quarter of this fiscal year, run through the 1990-91 fiscal year and finish by the end of the first quarter of the 1991-92 fiscal year. He said that bad weather could delay that schedule. Mr. Moon said that the delay came in getting final construction plans ready so that the process of acquiring the right-of-way could begin. He said that the highway department started with an “old set of plans from the 70’s.” Yet the path pf the road has not been changed, he said. “The way it was described at the public hearing (held last July) is the.way it is going now," Mr. Moon said. Mr. Edens added that once the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved the location and design in October of 1988 the plans were “locked in" and couldn't be changed. So all the surveying along 211 that motorists haved seen this spring and summer has not been to determine where the road will go but to determine what land the highway department needs to acquire so the road can go where it was already planned to go, according to VDOT.

Rt. 211 West Washington, VA the current four-lane section to the Shade Road (Route 622 South). At that intersection, just west of the Farmers’ Co-op, the alignment of the new lanes will switch to the north of the existing two lanes from that point to the Covington River, at the intersection of Route 622 North at the mouth of Gid Brown Hollow. In the second phase of the project the alignment of the two new lanes will switch to the south again from the Covington River to just outside Sperryville, Mr. Moon said. He said the only change had been in shortening the first phase. Instead of ending 0.2 miles east of the Covington River bridge, it will end 1/2 mile east of the bridge under the new plans, he said. This change was made so the transition from four lanes to two lanes at that point could be smoother, he said. “I don’t think at this stage we could have done it a whole lot faster,” Mr. Moon said. Subdivision Continued from page 1 show a “footprint” for each home • placing the discretionary power to waive any requirements with the Planning Commission and Town Council rather than with the zoning administrator, which is now the case. Those changes, apparently, still didn’t meet with Mayor Morehouse’s approval. He asked how the changes would be applied to the existing zoning ordinance. “The needs of the zoning ordinance in the town’s four zoning districts are quite different.” Mr. Wickens replied that the planners also proposed changes to the zoning ordinance and historic district ordinance which would mesh with the revised subdivision ordinance. Because those changes were Red Sox finish first in Bambino League With the seemingly endless rains of July causing delay after delay, the county's Bambino Little League season finally ended on July 25, two weeks later than planned. That day, the Rappahannock Yankees finished the season with a heart-stopping 15-14 win over the Amissville Blazers. The Blazers led all the way, scoring four runs in the first, two in the second, another four in the third and four more in the fourth to build a seemingly unstoppable 14-1 lead going into the fifth inning. But the never-say-die Yankees clawed their way back into the game with a 10run fifth inning, putting the game within three runs, 14-11. They pulled out the win in the sixth and deciding inning with another four runs, winning the game 15-14. Pitcher Donald Dorrell shut down the Blazers offense for the Yankees, allowing just one hit in the final two innings while striking out five batters. The victory gave the Yankees their sixth straight regular season victory, along with second place in the year-end Bambino League standings. The red-hot Rappahannock Red Sox ended the season in a blaze of glory at Rappahannock field last Saturday, scoring 50 runs in a double-header against the Amissville Bulldogs. The Sox split their scoring evenly against the visitors, taking the opener 25-3 and shelling the Bulldogs again in the nightcap, shutting them out 25-0. The two victories gave the Red Sox the regular season championship in the Bambino League. The Bulldogs finished the year with a 1-7 record. The league’s playoffs began Wednesday. Aug. 2. At Rappahan nock Field at the elementary school the Yankees host the Bulldogs, while at Stuart Field in Amissville the Astros took on the Blazers. No scores were available at press time. The league’s All-Star game will be played on Saturday, Aug. 19 at Stuart Field in Amissville. It will be part of the season-ending family picnic for all the county’s Little League teams from all four leagues. The AllStar game begins at 10 a.m., followed by lunch and trophy presentations at noon. At 2 p.m. the RAA coaches and the Babe Ruth team will square off for a softball gamb. There will also be a Bambino Minor League All-Star contest. Also planned for the picnic is the awarding of a Redskins jacket and autographed Redskins football. Tickets for the items are now on sale, and proceeds will benefit next year’s Little League program.

But, he added, the council should consider all the amendments together. “I just think that this (revision) is real important," Mr. Morehouse said. “These public hearings cost a lot to advertise — I think that instead of a band-aid we should do a comprehensive job.” “I frankly reject the notion that this is a band-aid job,” Mr. Wickens replied. He said the plan had been considered by various commissions and represented “a fresh new approach.” Of the two choices, to rewrite the old or start from scratch, “I like to work through the existing ordinance so that the members can focus on the changes. The issues were clear -this is not a band-aid at all.” but, said the mayor, Atter listening to the changes you mentioned, it occurs to me that the subdivision ordinance is one of the tools the town uses to manage growth. From the amendments I just heard, it sounds like you are trying to limit growth — and maybe even take some property rights away.” Claybert Smoot, the only other resident at the meeting, added, “It looks to me like wye have had enough taken away from Us in this town.” Referring to the provision for clustering houses, Mr. Smoot said he feels that if he has enough land to build on, he should be able to put the house wherever he wants. Mr. Wickens explained that the provision is optional, and that no one will be required to cluster homes within-any subdivision. “If anybody in this town,” Mr. Smoot continued, “had been treated like us on that (north) end of town, they would think a lot before they let something like this through.” To the mayor’s question about cul-de-sacs, Mr. Wickens explained that they “look suburban and out of character with this town.” And the proposed maximum of two houses on a dead-end street, the mayor continued, “Do you think that’s enough?” “Yes,” Mr. Wickens replied. “I don’t,” added planner Stuart Willis. Asked about the prohibition of private streets, Mr. Wickens explained that homeowners’ agreements break down, "and they we are left with tw'o little old ladies living on the street and no one to do maintenance ... if they are building streets they should meet the state standards and let the state maintain them. That way the town does not have to come in and bail it out.” Speaking to the requirement for a 40-foot right-of-way, Mr. Smoot pointed to the “paper street” be Remodeled house on Rt. 211, adjacent to Hampton Inn.

You’d have to move a bam. In 1974 I had a survey for a 20foot right-of-way to the back lot on my land. I’ve been told now that it's not a right-of-wray.” Town Attorney Frank Reynolds told Mr. Smoot that, under the old , ordinance, he would be allowed to construct a private street but he would have to dedicate a 50-foot right-of-way. “Now, we would not allow a private street, but the rightof-way requirement has been cut to 40 feet.” “Most banks,” planner and Realtor Mitzie Young added, “will not lend money unless you have at least a 30-foot right-of-way with a maintenance agreement.” “This has not taken away any rights of right-of-way anyone had under the old ordinance," Mr. Wickens said. “It cuts the right-of-way to 40 feet and the pavement width to 18 feet - it makes it easier.” As to the requirement that all streets be paved, rather than allow gravel, Mr. Wickens explained that “people get older and are not able to maintain them. Then we are taxed for a few older people." “I can remember," Mr. Smoot retorted, "when there were a w'hole lot more gravel streets than there are now — and the older people helped keep them up and everybody lived happily ever after." Mr. Morehouse suggested that the issue of private streets be reexamined. “They can be tastefully done, with far less impact than you think.” As for > maintenance agreements, owners can be made aware of that requirement when they buy a lot. "Private streets do serve a purpose, particularly in a small town, particularly with narrower rights-of-way.” Mr. Morehouse also suggested specification ranges for height, candlepower and separation distances for streetlights, which the planners adopted. With questions still remaining, the four commissioners present decided to defer a vote of the subdivision ordinance until their Aug. 22 meeting. In suggesting additional study. Mayor Morehouse told them, “What the town is about is trying to assure that any subdivision is a good one. The town is about trying to protect the town." He predicted that the council would suggest additional revisions to the proposed ordinance after reviewing the commission’s draft.
