D.C. violence strikes Fauquier Search, goes on for killer in Opal shooting By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer OPAL — State Police are looking for a blue Pontiac Grand-Am after a" D.C. woman was killed in the first case of that city’s drug bloodbath reaching F auquier County. Two men were questioned, but no arrests have yet been made in the apparently crack-related murder last Thursday of Anne Louise Gordon, 32, a D.C. woman who was driving her son to a juvenile drug case in Charlottesville when she was shot and killed. Mrs. Gordon’s son, Melvin “Termite” Ward, was also shot, in the neck, by the same bullet. A 13-yearold boy, reportedly a friend of Ward's, was riding in the back seat and not injured. State Police investigators went to Charlottesville and interrogated two men, Gary Hinkle and Wilson Emory Smith, for several hours Thursday afternoon, then released them without charges. Hinkle and Smith had been arrested in Charlottesville on May 3, apparently while driving around Charlottesville with Ward, one other juvenile, cocaine paraphernalia and more than $4,000 in cash, according to reports. The two adults, both in their late 20s, had been charged with contributing to the delinquincy of a minor and cocaine possession. An Albemarle County prosecutor was quoted as saying that Ward was to supply testimony needed to convict the two. State Police Sgt. Roger Broadbent, who is supervising the investigators in the case, would not comment on what “Termite” Ward and the other boy in the car had to say to investigators. He would not say what kind of See SHOOTING, p. 14 --r-'»•"•"Hi thi iFit in -p-n—1111 Wi FAUQUIER COUNTY INVESTIGATOR Jeff Crane (left) and State Police investigator R.A.

Council directs further study of town's subdivision ordinance By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though Town Attorney Frank Reynolds told the Town Council last week that its Planning Commission had recommended the revised subdivision ordinance to the council for adoption, the council instead sent it to a subcommittee for further study. “Some matters require some knowledge about planning,” Mr. Reynolds told the council. “The entire Town Council must hold a public hearing prior to adoption, but you don’t have to pass exactly the same document. And,” he added, “it does not have to be sent back to the Planning Commission unless there are major changes which basically make it unrecognizable” to the document referred by the planners. After a public hearing in July, during which Mayor Dean Morehouse questioned numerous provisions of the draft ordinance, the planners recommended the document to the Town Council for adoption. At that time Mayor Morehouse predicted that the Council would study and perhaps make further changes before enacting it. “I think the subcommittee is a good idea,” Councilman Ray Gooch agreed. “We need to spend more time on our ordinances.” “This is an involved document,” Mr. Reynolds added, “and it requires some knowledge and study.” The five council members present unanimously approved a subcommittee consisting of Mr. Gooch, Mayor See COUNCIL, p. 14 Jail clears last hurdle By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county’s jail addition project has cleared its final hurdle, winning approval last Thursday for the exterior detailing not addressed by the Town Council in its approval of the plan. County Administrator John McCarthy negotiated with the three Architectural Review Board members present at last week’s meeting. One was new member Patrick O’Connell, appointed the night before by the Town Council. The other newly appointed member. Donna Kevis, was not at the meeting. The appointments of Mr. O’Connell and Mrs. Kevis came as a result of the council’s approval of an expansion of the board to five members. That, plus the resignation last month of Chairman Carol Miller, left three openings. The third opening has not yet been filled, since the council is still debating whether to allow one county resident to sit on the board. Mr. McCarthy agreed to the stipulations requested by the ARB for the addition to the jail. The only substantive change to the plans presented by architect Steve Biegel was the removal of the metal stars from the sides of the building. Although in older buildings the stars served both decorative and functional purposes, as end caps for the tie rods which helped to support the walls, their purpose in the jail addition was purely decorative, Mr. McCarthy acknowledged. And, he added, “they are a Federal motif, where the building is primarily a Georgian structure." “They are only a visual aspect," Mr. O’Connell agreed, “which bothers me because they look bogus. The building would be more handsome without them." The ARB agreed to the county’s plan to move the summer kitchen from its present site abutting the west wall of the jail to the clear area between the jail and the exercise yard. There it will serve as a storage building while also screening the exercise yard. See ARB, p. 14 Drive-in students will pay more By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board approved an increase in the parking fee for students who bring cars to school from $;> to $20 per year at its regular meeting last Tuesday. Superintendent David Gangel noted that the School Board always intended that the parking lot in front of the high school would be temporary, and that the additional money from the fees could be put toward the cost of building a permanent student parking lot behind the baseball field. He said that he had been told it would cost $ huh in to turn that area into a parking lot, but that was largely because a great deal of fill dirt was needed. I)r. Cancel had asked the highway department if they could lea\ e any till they didn’t need elsewhere on that site, and -e\ era! loads had been acquired that way. In addition, he told the board members,, many loads had been donated by the Faith Mountain Company from its construction of a new warehouse facility on U.S. 211. “We’re close to grade,” he said. "Now we need funds to make it into a parking area.” He estimated t hat it could be leveled and gravel put down for $2,00»>. “The county already pays for the bus system." he said. “With the $20 sticker the students would be generating their own parking lot.” With the fees in place this year, enough money would be available to grade and gravel the new lot totnext year and replant the area in front of the school in grass. Dr. Gangel said.-He added that m future years, money from parking fees could be used to pave the new lot a section at a time. “They’re the ones spinning their wheels and creating the holes,” said Wakefield District representative Paul Nichols. “Let’s do it.” His motion to approve the parking fee increase passed unanimously. The School Board also received the report on the 1989 school census. Margarita S. Piper, the director of pupil personnel, who oversaw the census reported that 1,530 youngsters between the ages of one and 10 were counted in this census. This compares w ith 1,222 in 10,Mi and 1,398 in 1983. The increase was particularly dramatic for preschoolers. In 1983 142 children were found between the ages of one and four; in 1986 that number w as 160, and this year it was 278. The increase may be due to an increase in the birth rate, but other factors appear to be at work. In 1986 34 one-year-olds were identified, but this past summer 78 four-year-olds were found. It is, of course, possible that 44 families with children born in See PARKING, p 13 Expanded, advanced course offering greets students By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Several new classes will be offered at Rappahannock County High School this school year. Most were made possible by the change to a seven-period day. Six students will be taking Advanced Placement English. This course is a rigorous study of the great works of Western literature, with readings ranging from Oedipus Rex through Crime and Punishment to George Orwell’s 1984. The advanced English course is being taught through the school’s new “electronic classroom.” The course’s instructor will be in Wise County, teaching in front of a tele vision camera. Rappahannock students will watching on television. The students can also ask questions and respond to the teacher’s queries through a telephone hook-up, also linked by satellite. Completed homework assignments will be sent to the teacher via fax machine. The Governor’s Technology Initiative encouraged school systems to purchase satellite receivers to be able to pick up such programming. Over the next few years, money will be received from the state to pay off the bonds which were approved to purchase the equipment. Last week high school Principal John Toth received the reading list for the course. He was preparing to get letters out to the students giving them the reading list and urging them to get started reading. Because the teacher is in Wise County where schools start the week before Labor Day, the class will actually start a week early. The school system is prepared to tape the classes for those students who, because of family vacations, can’t start coming to school a week early to start taking the class. Another new offering via the “electronic classroom” is Latin I. The high school expects that Latin II will be added next year. Eleven students have elected to take Latin. Fortunately the teacher is from a school system which, like Rappa hannock County, starts school after Labor Day. Another new offering this year will be College Psychology. This class is being given in cooperation with Lord Fairfax Community College. Seven students have signed up to earn three college level credits per semester. Dennis Wingfield, the high school government teacher, will be teaching that course. Biology II is being offered for the first time this year, and 13 students have signed up. The class will be a high-powered course in human anatomy and physiology. Patti Waddell, who teaches the See COURSES, p. 14

It will feature food, music and sports, with all proceeds to benefit the fire department. ASGS will accept late crop reports Linda Henry, county executive director of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service said several farmers in Rappahannock County have not filed a crop report for their 1989 planted acres. Late-filed acreage reports will be accepted provided the farmer pays the cost of verifying the acreage and there is physical evidence of production. Late reports are subject to mandatory spot checks. ' Before farm program participants receive price support loans, deficiency payments and other benefits, ASCS requires that they report crops and acreage planted, the uses to be made of these crops, and cropland acres to be devoted to the acreage conservation reserve. The crop reports are used to determine program compliance and to document crop acreage bases, according to Ms. Henry. Crop certification is mandatory for farmers who are participating in the 1989 programs because without the report, producers are not really participating. The report determines the level at which farmers are eligible for program payments and other benefits. Preliminary certification results indicate that 59 farms in Rappahannock County are certified and eligible for 1989 farm program benefits. For information about acreage reporting or any other programs administered by ASCS, call the county office in Washington (675-3616). _ ■ t ,rt t ; * ',ri Lt. Dixon at duty post Marine 2nd Lt.

Legislators, press discuss measures to speed release of information from police agencies By JEFF R. COFFEY Anindel Newspapers Staff Writer The press. The police. The two long have been at odds oVer what “just the facts, ma’am” should mean. The press has a mission to ferret out information to alert the public about crime, but sometimes they are perceived as going too far and along the way are blamed for endangering an innocent victim or witness. • Law enforcement has a responsibility to ensure that facts are facts before they’re released, but sometimes cops are faulted for jeopardizing the very people they’re trying to protect by withholding information. Bringing the two sides closer to a happy medium has been a tiresome, if not impossible, task. But a panel of Virginia legislators and a group of media representatives are trying anyway. Concerned that police statewide are abusing the law and shortchanging the public, the study committee has written legislation that would for the first time mandate sheriff departments to release basic information about crime in a timely manner. The legislation, which would amend the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, would require police to provide the date, location and general description of a crime, in eluding injuries suffered or property damaged, and the investigating officer’s name. The amendment as drafted also would request, but not require, police to disclose the identity of a victim, witness, undercover officer or anonymous person providing a tip, and investigative techniques used. Ed Jones, chairman of the Virginia Press Association’s Freedom of Information Committee, credited the legislative group for “ending up with a fairly reasonable compromise that is long overdue in Virginia.” But a coalition of sheriffs, police chiefs and state police so far have resisted compromise of any sort. Police representatives such as State Police Lt. John Quinley argue that most police departments have adopted reasonable guidelines for dealing with, the media and that most of the information being requested is already being released. Many of the media’s gripes stem from police procedures, and won’t be resolved by the proposed changes, said Warren C. Carmichael, head of public affairs for Fairfax County Police. For instance, Carmichael said the policy of not releasing names of persons killed in an accident until relatives are notified wouldn’t be affected, meaning the press wouldn’t obtain that information any sooner than now. In addition, police say they are concerned that the mandated changes, if adopted, would cause financial strain, particularly on smaller, rural departments, which don’t have staffs large enough to devote a lot of time to press requests. “The legislators have not sat down and figured how much these changes are going to cost the police,” said Sgt. Don Moore, Loudoun County Sheriffs Department. “We have yet to hear from rural sheriffs who probably aren’t aware of these developments.” Moore also criticized the committee for having too much of a suburban perspective in examining changes he said won’t necessarily work in rural areas. For instance, Moore said disclosing a theft committed on an unspecified block in the city is usually sufficient to protect the victim’s identity. In contrast, Moore said information limited to identifying only the route number of a fapn that has been robbed is more than enough to let people know who the farmer is. “Anonymity in a group doesn’t exist out in the country,” Moore said. “I’m a great believer in the press. But if a mandate to release information later impedes an investigation, I’m going to be one unhappy little camper.” However, Del. Alan Mayer, DFairfax, also a committee member, said the computer technology available to police today is sophisticated enough to create a simple program to give the press the information they’re seeking. “That’s a lot of bull,” said Mayer, reacting to the police assertion that the legislation demands too much. “I think they’re just going to have to try harder.” Some media advocates and legislators said police opposition merely reflects a deep resistance to losing control over what they want the public to know, and when. “The problem is, the police want to be the ones choosing what to release,” said Mayer. “That’s not the way things are supposed to work. The press should decide what to release to the public.” In the weeks leading to the November public hearing, police groups are expected to get the word out about the proposed changes and urge members to turn out in force to block the legislation, or at least tone it down. “When these people come out and say they don’t want any changes, they underestimate the power of the legislature when it says, ‘we want you to do something,’ ” Miller said. Red Sox are Bambino champs un Saturday, Aug. 5, the Kappahannock Red Sox completed a nearperfect Little League season with a convincing victory over the fighting Rappahannock Yankees 14-8 to clinch the Bambino League championship at Rappahannock field. The Red Sox took advantage of several walks and Yankee fielding errors to score seven times in the second inning. Their own wellplayed defense then enabled them to hang on for the championship. The Yankees fought back with a total of eight tallies on their end, but were unable to overcome the early inning deficit, falling by a six-run margin. The Yankees were clearly frustrated by their errant plays and defensive miscues, as evidenced by Donald Dorrell’s ejection in the sixth inning for unsportsmanlike conduct. Despite the final score, the game was a thriller, as the Red Sox had apparently not forgotten that the Yankees were the onty team to beat them during an otherwise perfect regular season string of victories.

The Red Sox advanced to the league final with a come-from-behind win over the Amissville Astros on Aug. 3. Trailing in the bottom of the sixth inning, Greg Foster hit a line shot to left field, scoring Jonathan Myers. Myers’ heads-up baserunning allowea him to score all the way from first base on the hit. That gave the Red Sox the game and a place in the league championship contest. The Yankees and Red Sox had faced each other twice before during the regular season, and each time one run decided the margin of victory. With the league trophy at stake, however, the Red Sox were not to be denied. The Yankees players and coaches congratulate the Red Sox on an excellent season, and look forward to facing them again next year. musu£u& -y 4\)a S'OOyj/.Tft. - 6:OOj>. ift.~ ’/x^er^t/ Bfaeartcss &a?uC 6:oo^^&D&G>un6rt/&and, floodjoad, b&tr; rtflu?, ^abtdrtdbs<ydfl$0O7~lOZo£{&C’&££'S'fly'' ^zflforb “Babysitting AvaiCabCe Rappahannock Tractor Sales and Service NOW OPEN Rt. 211, East of Washington Full line of service Tractor and small engine repair Now carrying The Green Machine and HOMELITE TEXTRON iiHH i 5S Ford 2810 1,000 hrs. $8,750 Ford 6610 270 hrs. $14,995 Woods HD 315 Batwing $5,895 Case International 245 w/Woods RM500 69 hrs.$7,150 Hours: Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. 703-675-3148 John Childrey Reading Club hears 'Our Stories Together' The Rappahannock County Library is very pleased to announce that Obie award-winning theatre artist, Julie Portman, and Paul Reisler, director of the music group Trapezoid will present “Our Stories Together,” a concert that uses the music of hammer dulcimer, guitar, synthesizer and percussion to bring a wealth of contemporary and traditional stories to life at the closing program of the Adventures with Paddington Reading Program. Julie Portman, a dancer, actress, storyteller and musician, combines all of these arts when she tells her stories with Paul Reisler. The result is a unique program that, according to The New York Daily News, “captivates” the audience. “Tales have never been told better,” says The Washington Post. Julie Portman is the artistic director of Golden Key Performance group, a Washington, Virginia based theatre ensemble that tours nationally. Under a Fulbright grant she lived in India and studied that country’s classical and folk traditions of dance-drama. Her experience in Asia has provided a powerful influ ence on her performance work and her approach to creating theatre based on story. Paul Reisler is founder and director of Trapezoid, described by The Washington Post as “the finest folk group in this country”. He has produced and recorded six albums with Trapezoid and he has toured extensively in North America and Asia. He has been active in all phases of musical performances, including writing and composing music, building instruments, managing artists, producing records and directing festivals. The Rappahannock County Library invites all the children, and their parents, who have participated in the summer reading program and the general public to attend this special event, scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. at Washington’s Town Hall. All library programs are free of charge. Certificates and awards will be presented to the children who have completed the required reading. For more information call the library (675-3780).

THURSDAY, AUGUST 17,1989 Presumed innocent Missing from last week’s editorial entitled “Paying the piper” was any explicit statement that the person accused of growing marijuana has not yet been tried, or convicted. Under our system of laws, all persons accused of crimes are presumed to be innocent. The Commonwealth must prove the guilt of the accused. David Blanchard shares these same rights — that he is presumed innocent, and that he must be proved guilty by the Commonwealth. Last week’s editorial was not intended to judge Mr. Blanchard’s guilt or innocence. That, as one of our readers points out in a letter to the editor this week, is for the courts to decide. A cornucopia This week, we report on the expanded courses offered at the Rappahannock County High School this year. There are advanced courses in Biology and French, elective offerings in family life and parenting as well as business and an employment seminar. Another course will teach students how to use a Computer-Aided Design program to do architectural and other mechanical drawing. For advanced students, there will be an English literature class where they can study the great works of Western literature. Though some may deride these new offerings as fluff, irrelevant to the basic educational objectives necessary in a school system, we would argue that they are the kinds of courses from which students can gain an immense amount of useful knowledge. Our world and our society has changed greatly from the times of our parents and grandparents. No longer do people spend their entire lives here, or work at only one job. There are many diverse opportunities available for young people with a wide knowledge and a good education. Though not all students may wish to pursue those options, the challenge is there for the graduates who want to take it. ^ But our students cannot compete against those from larger school districts without the knowledge they can gain from diversified, elective programs. We’re not suggesting that the schools should downplay or ignore the basic and fundamental elements of education. Those are essential for all students, whether they intend to go on to college or secure a job after graduation. But the elective and advanced courses which the high school plans to offer this year allow an expansion of the students’ breadth of knowledge, as well as allowing * concentration in specific fields of interest. These new courses are a good idea. We commend the school administrators for developing the curriculum to the point where they are available. And we hope that many students at the high school will take advantage of these new opportunities.

I will never subscribe to that thoughtless editorial that all laws are enacted to protect the public welfare, that troopers enforce them with this in mind, and the effective channel for redress is writing to the elected representatives! He governs best who governs least. But the trend is to more laws and stricter enforcement. Troopers in greater numbers than ever lie in wait instructions on more laws than ever... a spurt of speed, a burned out headlight, failure to display the current stickers on the windshield and front and rear tags, a breath of alcohol, even using earphones to listen to music on a lonely trip, and a r trooper scores a hit. In a gentler time warnings were issued. Today, the income generated by taxes, fees, and strict law enforcement must match the terrifying growth of government needs. The trooper must earn his pay; the victim is the unwary as well as the true criminal. Government, not farming, is the growth industry. Helicopters are for spying, not spraying. The channel for redress, since the days of Ben Franklin, Tom Paine and Peter Zenger, has been the press. It is the only pressure politicians understand. Don’t fail us. MATT BARRETT Sperryville 1 Due process deserved i o tne editor: I am very upset about the articles, letters and editorial concerning the most recent helicopter raid in Rappahannock County. Whatever you believe about the many complex issues facing our society today, you must know that our citizens all have certain rights. Among these nghts is the right to due process of the law. I do not believe that David Blanchard is a criminal. What our courts will decide is not yet known, but the point is this: he does not deserve to be tried and convicted on the pages of the Rappahannock News.

The patronizing tone of your most editorial suggests a certain impatience with those who took offense at the recent "drug bust” in Rappahannock County. Apparently it is enough for you that the law was enforced; anyone unhappy urith the arrest should talk to his congressman before bothering the local newspaper. (I would guess that anyone upset enough about an issue to wrrite to an editor, has already written to his representatives in congress. Also, since many people read the newspaper, including legislators, a letter printed in a newspaper might easily have more impact than a letter to a congressman. That impact, if I am not mistaken, is one of the reasons we have letters to the editor.) Two things bother me about this particular incident; they have nothing to do writh the legal status of drugs. First, I do not like the idea of routine police or military surveillance of my home and my private activities. If the police have probable cause, let them get a search warrant and investigate. The constitution provides protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, and I consider it unreasonable to have National Guard helicopters buzzing over my nouse to cnees, up on my activities. Second, the use of military personnel and equipment for police work is something better left to totalitarian countries like East Germany or China. Our police are trained, or should be, in the finer points of law. The military are not. It is bad enough that police are assigned to sit beside the highways, monitoring our speed with radar devices. Soon, they will have machines that automatically photograph and ticket speeders, (r rom what I have read, the manufacturer of these devices gets a healthy cut of the fine money, revenue enhancement being what all this concern for speeding is about.) We, in the state of Virginia, are even forbidden to listen to certain electromagnetic frequencies, lest we know where the police are lurking. I Now, the peace and quiet of Rappahannock County is to be disrupted by military helicopters checking ijp on — not suspects — but all of its. Perhaps I am paranoid, but this trend is beginning to scare me. Dangerous precedents are being set. The counter argument is, “Just obey the law, and you’ve got nothing to worry about. After all, they (read big brother) are really just making things safer for all of us.” This, pf course is true; however, let us npt forget that living in a free society involves a few trade-offs, one of the most obvious being that the civil rights protected by the Bill of Rights >makes crime easier to commit. To those whose priorities require absolute law and order, I suggest a move to the Soviet Union. Therp, streets are no doubt safer, drugs are in short supply (along with lots of other things) and the newspapers are probably not bothered by too manv letters to the editor. ' BILL FITZSIMMOIste Flint Hill Editor’s note: In no way was lefet week's editorial intended to discoierage our readers from writing letters to the editor. Far from being la "bother,” a lively “letters to the editor" column filled with different points of view on issues of public concern reflects the diversity and thoughtfullness of the members of the community. The Rappahannock News has always — and will continue to — welcome letters from our readers.

The Avtex stink: How much longer? For the past several months, the state and local press has been filled with charges and countercharges about the Avtex Fibers plant in Front Royal. Last week, the issue made ABC’s Nightline program, where experts again debated the issues familiar to Warren County residents and their neighbors before a national television audience. Nothing was settled there, either. How much longer do we have to wait? The company promises, once again, that it is working .'to curb airborne emissions from the plant. Those Remissions, primarily of sulfur dioxide, earned the plant the EPA’s designation as the second-worst air polluter in the nation — and makes Front Royal easily the stinkiest town this side of Southern Virginia’s pulp mills. J _ Several years ago, a state occupational Health and safety inspection turned up more than T,000 violations. Several workers have been killed ih recent years. Photos taken inside the plant and shown on last week’s telecast look more like bombed-out Beruit, Lebanon than a producing industrial plant. The company, through its CEO John Gregg and various spokesmen, cries poverty. The company says that it cannot afford the investment necessary to bring the plant into compliance. Read that as an implied threat to the state’s regulators and politicians: Force us to spend the money, and we’ll shut down, leaving you to face the angry employees who now have no jobs. If you don’t believe me, remember last fall? From my choir. . . by Lou Hotter Faced with a multi-million dollar state fine, Mr. Gregg announced that the plant was closing. The plant’s employees and their union screamed, and it took less than a week for Senator John Warner to engineer a $40-plus million bailout of the company, saving its jobs. The company claims it spent $3.5 million last year on installation of pollution equipment. A staggering sum? Not really, when you consider that Chemical Week magazine reported that Avtex Fibers’ gross revenues last year were $350 million. That $3.5 million suddenly shrinks to about one percent of the company’s gross — not so much after all. And worst of all, the pollution is not some thing that just started recently. The plant opened in the early 1940s, and dead fish in the Shenandoah River were reported shortly after. In fact, the State Water Control Board was formed in response to the rayon plant’s pollution of the Shenandoah. Though the plant’s ownership and name has changed several times during the intervening 40 years, its dismal record of environmental pollution and health and safety violations have not. It’s time for residents, regulators and elected representatives to stop playing the company’s game. It’s time to tell Mr. Gregg that he either brings the plant into compliance with state and federal air and water pollution and health and safety regulations, or shuts it down. For many years, the excuse was that the company’s engineers and managers didn’t know that their waste ponds were leaching acids and other poisons into the river and the groundwater beneath it; that they didn’t know that the aerial emissions from the plant’s smokestacks posed a health threat. Well, for some years they have known better. But they haven’t stopped polluting. Enough is enough. As for the substantially reduced emissions from the plant’s smokestacks — our rescue squad took a patient to Warren Memorial Hospital last Thursday afternoon. As soon as we opened to back doors of the air-conditioned ambulance, that familiar stink hit me fullstrength in the nose — no substantial reduction there. Some things never change. The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO August 21, 1969 Charlottesville attorney William C. Battle carried the state of Virginia and Rappahannock County by comfortable margins in Tuesday’s Democratic primary runoff election. In carrying the state, Battle amassed approximately 52 per cent of the popular vote against State Senator Henry Howell of Norfolk, who had waged a strong liberal challenge. In Rappahannock County Battle received 240 votes, or 57 per cent of the total, to Howell’s 181 votes. Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee reminded farmers today they have only until August 22 to file petitions nominating candidates. 15 YEARS AGO August 15, 1974 Benson Clatterbuck has assumed the position of custodian and maintenance supervisor at Rappahannock County High School. He succeeds Alvin Atkins who retired. Mr. Clatterbuck was last employed with Keller Manufacturing in Culpeper and prior to that time was with the Arlington School System as a custodian for 12 years, so this situation is not new to him. Peter Kramer, recently elected to the town council of Washington, was elected by his fellow members to the seat of vice mayor at the Tuesday evening meeting of the council. A proposal was made for the purchase of new street signs for the town and Mr. Kramer agreed to check on these. Redistricting promises heated battle By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer In 1980, John Gray, who is now a circuit court judge in Hampton, gave me a glimpse of the “Map Room” he had established in the General Assembly building in Richmond. Mr. Gray was then chairman of the House of Delegates Privileges and Elections Committee, a national census was in progress and state legislative and congressional districts would require redistricting the following year. Mr. Gray’s committee and its counterpart in the State Senate would play the major role in that politically crucial process and already the maps and demographic information was being laid out for preliminary analysis and tinkering. Of course, as we now know, what Mr. Gray’s committee and the House eventually wrought in the way of House redistricting was challenged in court successfully, leading to the establishment of single-member districts throughout the state. It also led to the necessity of elections for Old Dominion Politics House seats three consecutive years. As 1990 approaches and with it another national census, we can expect other juap rooms to blossom in Richmond, probably even more sophisticated this time given the proliferation of the computer-age. Yet beneath all the fancy maps, charts, statistics arid assorted eyewash, redistricting remains a purely political process just as it always has. The Supreme Court’s historic one-man, one-vote edict and other court actions have certainly made it fairer for certain elements of the population, but the game essentially remains how those in power can Wakefield School has a few spaces open in the prep school For Admissions Information Call (703) 635-8111 Give your child the best education available Wakefield School Huntly, Va. 22640_ r<^0i£>Summer Savings At The Warrenton Farmer’s Co-op Garden Center!

WARRENTON draftily contrive lines to keep themselves in power. The 1991 redistricting will undoubtedly continue that tradition of gerrymandering by those who hope to get away with it. If Democrats still control the House (and they will control the Senate), the first order of business will be protection of Democratic incumbents to the fullest possible extent and putting the screws to Republican incumbents to the same extent. If there is a Democratic majority in both houses of the legislature and a Democratic governor holds office, that task will be made much easier and Republicans can count on backof-the hand treatment. But if there is a GOP governor and if Republicans control at least 34 House seats, the horse’s color will be different. Any overly-partisan redis tricting plan could then be vetoed and the veto sustained. The stage would be set for compromise. Since no crystal ball is yet available to determine how that will shake out after Tuesday, Nov. 7 this year, most specualtion about the new legislative and congressional boundaries is premature. But if Virginia gets an 11th congressional seat, as seems likely, it is safe to say there will be lots of divergent views of how the lines of the new district should be drawn. Some black leaders are already promulgating the idea of creating a new district in the Tidewater area which would have a black majority and lead to the election of Virginia’s first black member of Congress,^n modern times. ** Interestingly enough, such a plan might find more favor wdth Republi Lord F airfax/G ermanna Community College FAUQUIER PROGRAM REGISTRATION: August 14-17 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. August 21 -23 10:00 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuition for Virginia Residents: $26.60 per credit hour Non-resident tuition: $132.00 per credit hour Basic skills placement test for all new students will be given August 21 -23 at 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. CLASSES BEGIN AUGUST 28 For further information, contact 347-1304 (Advertisment sponsored by Private donations.)

As Dr. Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia points out, concentrating many black votes now in the 1st, 2nd and 4th Districts into one district might isolate the influence of black voters, most of whom are Democrats, into one district. That would give Republicans a tighter hold on the 1st District and jeopardize Democratic incumbents in the 2nd and 4th Districts. Then, too, Northern Virginina legislators won’t take kindly to an attempt to give the additional seat to Tidewater. Feeling their region was ignored for many years, the Northern Virginians will want to add the 11th District to their 8th and 10th Districts.

Starke Jones, Pastor, Woodville Baptist Church MAN, THE CROWN OF CREATION One of the greatest debates in modem times has been over the origin of man. The various theories of evolution are theories and nothing more. They will remain only theories until the so-called "missing-link" between man and lower forms of life, such as the ape, has been found and proved. It has not been found, and in my judgement never will be. The popular view today is to accept Darwin's theory of the origin of the species. But among his contemporary responsible anthropologists that view was by no means universally accepted. And, while debate still goes on, I know of no conference of anthropologists which records the formal adoption of any evolutionary theory as to man's origin. For those who believe the Bible the origin of man is quite simply stated in Genesis 1:27 and 2:7. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him... And the Lord formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." The Southern Baptist convention in Kansas City in 1963 adopted "The Baptist Faith and Message" which has this to say about "Man": "Man was created by the special act of God, in His own image, and is the crowning work of His creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence; whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin, and as soon as they are capable of moral action become transgressors and are under condemnation. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every man possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love." Regardless of how they arrive at it, both the Bible and science agree that man is the crown of creation.

The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. The requested donation is $2 per person. All are welcome. This concert will present three remarkable singers and musicians sharing from their individual repertoires of old songs. We decided to define “old songs” by saying we hoped the evening would produce a variety of songs and stories, some familiar, perhaps some to sing along. Old Songs might be gospel songs, songs of Virginia's Carter Family, Stephen Foster, John Lennon or Mozart, according to a Bluemont spokesman. Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer from Takoma Park, Maryland are wonderful singers and musicians. Their performances draw’ on the richness of folk and country musical tradition while retaining an active interest in relevant issues of our world today. Cathy and Marcy’s exquisite harmony singing and sparkling instrumental work on banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin and hammer dulcimer have won acclaim from audiences world wide as well as from the Washington Post, Performance Magazine, CBS and NPR Radio. Cathy and Marcy both had more than 10 years of performing and touring behind them when they began performing together in 1987. Since :hen, their skills as singers and mu sicians have earned them a well-deserved reputation for versatility and originality, the spokesman said. Ted Kreh of Rixeyville is one of the great old-time country piusic singers and mandolin players around. Ted has a rich background in gospel and country music of Kentucky and Virginia and has a wealth of songs and stories from about fifty years of performing. Ted is currently leader of the bluegrass band The Shenandoah Travelers. The lawn of the historic Warren Green Hotel is a beautiful setting to hear a concert. People attending the concerts are encouraged to contribute tow'ards the cost of the evening. There is plenty of parking avilable, and downtown streets, are closed to vehicular traffic during the concert. Local ordinances prohibit the use of alcohol and the bringing of animals to the concerts. Families are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs and a picnic if they like. Delicious homemade refreshments will often be available at intermission, prepared by local community organizations. This performance is the ninth of a series of ten (10) Warren Green Concerts at the old Warren Green Hotel in Warrenton this summer. These concerts are presented as a community partnership by the Bluemont Concert Series in cooperation with the Town of Warrenton, the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department and the Virginia Com mission for the Arts. Conerts will be held outdoors whenever possible; the decision to move indoors is made at 5 p.m. on the day of the concert; information will be broadcast over local radio stations.

DIANE RELF ! Rappahannock News Contributing Writer By planning and planting a fall vegetable garden it is possible to have fresh vegetables up to and even past the first frosts. When grocery store vegetable prices are on the rise, you can be reaping large and varied harvests from your still-productive garden site. When planting fall crops, prepare the soil by restoring the nutrients removed by spring and summer crops. A light layer of compost or aged manure, or a small application of complete chemical fertilizer will boost soil nutrients in preparation for another crop. Dryness may make the soil difficult to work and inhibit seed germination during midsummer. Plant fall vegetables after a rain when the soil is moist, or water the area thoroughly the day before you plant. Seeds may be planted in a shallow trench to conserve moisture. Cover the seeds about twice as deeply as you do in the spring. An old-time trick for germinating seeds in midsummer is to plant the seeds, water them well, and then place a board over the row until the sprouts just reach the soil surface; at that time remove the board. Plastic sheets also aid seed germination, but the plastic must be completely anchored so the soil underneath does not dry out and the plastic does not blow away. Plastic, especially black plastic, may cause the soil to get too hot. An organic mulch on top will help keep soil cool. Starting transplants in shaded coldframe or in a cool indoor area is another possibility. » Once young plants are established, a heavier mulch may be us^d to hold moisture and control weedp. Irrigate when necessary so young plants have sufficient moisture. •' Fall plantings often have fewer insect problems, as they avoid the peak of insect activity in midsurtimer. However, some insects, su<jh as cabbage worm and com earworm, may be even worse late in the year than in summer. Avoid some pests and diseases by planting crops of different families than were originally in that section of your garden. Some of the best quality vegetables are produced during the warm days and cool nights of the fell season. These environmental conditions add sugar to sweet com and crispness to carrots. Parsnips and Jerusalem artichokes are crops very much improved by a touch of frost. The fall garden gives you* a chance to try again any spring failures you might have encounteredDr. Diane Relf is a horticultwre specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.

REC Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cecil E. Viyerette Jr., said “We are pleased to offer these health services to our members in one convenient location again this year. The response was so great last year that our Board felt it important to continue the Health Fair with an expanded service offering.” The Health Fair will be open from 9 a.m. to noon. , A buffet brunch, prepared and ; served by the Culinary Arts Department of the Spotsylvania Vocational vCenter, will be available from 9:30 - a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Musical entertain ment will be provided from 11 a.m. to noon by the renowned blues artist, John Cephus of Bowling Green.

Bloodmobile in Marshall The Red Cross Bloodmobile will ■be at the Marshall Baptist Church on Monday, Aug. 21 from 1-6 p.m. with a goal of collecting 50 units (pints). This is an increase in the number of units previously set for the Marshall drive, 45, but the Marshall blood team led by Hazel Williams has been so successful in recent months that the Red Cross believes an upping of the goal is attainable. According to a chapter spokesman. The Bloodmobile visits Marshall twice a year and for the last three times the former goal of 45 units has been substantially exceeded. So far this fiscal year, which began July 1, the Fauquier Chapter of ■ the Red Cross has had two blood -drives that collected 110 units against a goal of 115. Although that is not too great a shortfall, George Borjes, chairman of the chapter’s blood services, points out that the Fauquier community’s population is increasing disproportionate to the number of blood donors, which remains less than 900. That has meant that the annual goal for blood donations has had to remain at 1,275 units, even though the demand for blood at Fauquier Hospital has been increasing, Mr. Borjes added. A blood donor- may be anyone in generally good health who is at least 17 years old. The Bloodmobile will not be back at Marshall until next January, so blood donors who live or work in the northern part of the county should offer their blood at this time, says Mr. Borjes. It's a boy! Frank and Donna Coffey and ■j Daniel of Sperryville are proud to • announce the birth of a son and brother, Joshua Clifford born at f’auquier Hospital, Warrenton on Thursday, August 3 weighing seven pounds and twelve ounces and 20 inches long. Maternal grandparents of the infant are Mr. and Mrs. Burrell Woodard of Flint Hill. Paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. F.D. Coffey, Jr. of Sperryville.

Day REALTOR “BACK DOOR” BUYING Every so often, a bargain-hunting buyer will try to deal directly with the seller AFTER he has been shown the house by a Realtor. Maybe this buyer knows full and well what he is doing or maybe not. However, chances are he doesn't know that the seller has a legal obligation to pay the prescribed commission—regardless of whether or not the agent is present at the time of the negotiations. By choosing this route, the buyer cheats himself of the professional services and expertise of an experienced negotiator. “Back-door” buying works two ways. A seller who is approached directly by a buyer after being shown a home by a Realtor, should contact the Realtor immediately. Since the commission will have to be paid by the seller, there is no reason for the seller not to avail him or herself of the Realtor's services. The Realtor's obligation is to provide a buyer who is ready, willing and able to purchase the home. This is true regardless of whether the buyer comes in by the front or the back door.

The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME " l 'he Home of Thoughtful Service" i’honc 825-2361 Culpeper ( 1 MHThkY MEMORIALS Benefit concert at 4-H Center Madeline MacNeil, who combines exquisite playing of the mountain and hammered dulcimers with a crystal-clear singing voice over a wide range of music, appears in concert on Saturday, Aug. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the 4-H Amphitheater outside Front Royal. The concert is sponsored by the Blue Ridge Arts Council, and is a benefit for “Camp Fantastick”. “My work is difficult to classify,” she says. “I play traditional music tempered with classical and jazz. Folk musicians would say I’m a classical musician, but classical musicians wouldn’t agree. I think it is a blessing that I can appeal to people who enjoy many forms of music.” However her music is portrayed, Ms. MacNeil has pleased audiences throughout the United States and Europe, appearing at folk festivals and in concerts ranging from Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts to the National Cathedral, from .intimate concert halls to college auditoriums. This Summer her performances have taken her to North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky and several other states. Critics have hailed her ability to “blend the beautiful and rare combination of voice and hammered dulcimer,” proving she is “as expressive a singer as an instrumentalist. ” Described as “an affecting singer and a master of both the familiar Appalachian fretted dulcimer and the less common hammered dulcimer,” Ms. MacNeil’s performances have won her praise and honors from several sources. In June 1987, Ms. MacNeil was honored by the Summer Solstice Traditional Music Festival in Northridge, California, and recognized by the Senate Rules Committee of the California State Legislature for her contributions to acoustic music through performing, books, and recordings. She is a Touring Virginia Artist for 1989-90 under a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. For information about the concert contact the Blue Ridge Arts Council at (703) 635-7171. I G.

ooking with _Q Salmon: 'King of Fish' Because of the romance and mystery in catching salmon, it has become known as the “King of Fish.” Catching the king is really a risky business. Its puzzling migratory habits, the wild storms at sea, the unfortunate recent oil spills, and other quirks of nature make for a tough battle between the fisherman and the elusive salmon. Despite these obstacles the battle continues to be fought since the beauty and challenge of the salmon thrill fisherman, and its delicate meat delights the gourmet’s palate. Actually, the “King” is really five different fish. Five species of salmon are commercially canned: the sockeye, the chinook or king salmon, the medium red or catto, the pink and the chum also known as keta. Salmon is also the king of nutrition. It is as high in protein as meat and eggs, and has significant amounts of vitimins A, B, and D; iodine, niacin, riboflavin, and omega — 3 fatty acid which is thought to lower cholesteral levels in the body. The fats in salmon are polyunsaturated. A 1/2 cup serving contains only 100 calories and has more protein than two lamb chops. Canned salmon, a year-round delicacy, has both an appealing fla vor and an attractive color. Because of its delicacy, it blends well with other foods such as eggs and cheese to make eye-appealing, protein-rich main dishes to replace more expensive meat entrees.

Tributes 77 In loving memory of my dear son and our brother, Richard D Lewis, who was taken from us suddenly eight years ago today, August 15, 1981. Today is the day of remembrance, and many sad regrets; A day I shall always remember, when the rest of the world forgets. Your memory is a treasure with which we shall never part; God has you in his keeping we have you forever in our hearts. Father, Sisters and Brothers In memory of Alvin Atkins on his birthday, August 17. I think of you so often and call your name, but all the answer I get is your picture in the frame. My life must go on, tis true, but it will never be the same, since I lost you. That gate of memory will never close, for I miss you more than anyone knows. So rest on with Jesus, till the day, He will be calling me to come your way. Your devoted wife, Marie Business 78 Notices NOTICE Advertising published in this newspaper is accepted with the understanding that it will meet the criteria of the standards of a family newspaper.

Jordan River Farm is certified organic STRASBURG — The Virginia Association of Biological Farmers (VABF) announced that it has certified six farms, including Rappahannock County’s Jordan River Farm, as prganic for the 1989 harvest season. Each of these farms has undergone an extensive inspection and found to be growing food in sound agronomic and environmental way without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides, according to VABF spokesman Patti Nesbitt-Habib. Taken together, these farms represent more than 1,300 acres of production. Two additional applicants did not pass the inspection and as a result were denied the use of the “VABF Certified Organic” logo. Following a lengthy on-site inspection of each farm, a seven member Certification Review Committee debated the acceptability of these farms for certification. The committee offers farmers both peer review and professional oversight. It is made up active of organic farmers, a vegetable processor, an entomologist at Virginia Tech and an organic farm consultant. The farms that were certified include the following: • Briar Oak Farms, 350 acres in Craig and Botetourt counties, owned by William and Barbara Lemon; • JB Apple Farm, two acres in the Rixeyville area of Culpeper County, owned by Robert Segrest; • Jordan River Farm, 370 acres near Huntly in Rappahannock County, owned by Miriam Harris; • Mountain Spirit Organic Farm, 512 acres near Doe Hill, Virginia in Pendleton County, West Virginia, owned by Carl and Odette Mortenson; • Tabard Farm, 2 acres near Middletown in Warren County, managed by Susan Peterson. To be certified organic, farms had to meet three basic criteria as well as demonstrate their ability to grow food consistent with the high quality standards of the organic food industry. The criteria are that synthetic pesticides or herbicides have not been used for three years, that synthetic fertilizers have not been used for one year, and that the farm follows an ecological soil management program that builds up the soil resources. In most cases, Ms. Nesbitt-Habib explained this means that rotations, compost or manure applications, adequate mineral fertilization and timely cultivations are used instead of chemical inputs. An independant VABF agent conducted soil tests and inspected farm record books, receipt files, packing sheds, storage sheds and all fields. The agent then reported to the review committee who decided whether or not to grant certification. Ms. Nesbitt-habib, who served as certification coordinator, said she is pleased with the results of the effort this year, and expects at least 20 farmers to participate next season. “There is widespread interest in this program, both from the grocers and the farmers,” said Ms. Nesbitt-Habib. “It is clear that had we started earlier in 1989, we would have served many more farmers this summer,” she added. Ms. Nesbitt-Habib indicated that the VABF is working toward building a consistently high quality supply of organic food for consumers, while encoraging farmers to take the market advantage that organic production offers. “We want to give both consumers and farmers the assurance that the food is really organically produced,” she said, adding, “That’s what ‘VABF Certified Organic’ means.” VABF is a 13-year-old' membership organization that caters to the needs of organic farmers and gardeners in the state with about 300 members statewide. The organization welcomes inquiries about its organic certification program. All requests should be directed to Patti Nesbitt-Habib, Rt 2, Box 124B, Strasburg, Va 22657. Parking Continued from page 1 1985 have moved to Rappahannock County in the past three years, but it seems more likely that a number of one-year-olds were missed in 1986. Among elementary-school aged youngsters, the increase is less dramatic. The 1989 census shows 663 children between the ages of five and 12. This compares with 512 in 1986 and 586 in 1983. For high schoolers 526 youngsters between the ages of 13 and 18 were found for the 1989 school census. This is an increase from the 1986 total of 470, but fewer than the 584 found in 1983. “This is not 100 percent,” Mrs. Piper told the board. “You’re never going to get 100 percent.” She explained that she had conducted a pre-census survey that included all the students in the public schools and Rappahannock students at Wakefield, the Masanova Christian Academy and the Child Care and Learning Center. She checked to make sure all of those children were included in the actual census. “We may have missed some younger children with no older siblings,” she said. She said the census takers, who are supposed to visit every house in the county, encountered “chained driveways, vicious dogs, and ‘No Trespassing’ signs. We need to pay more next time,” she suggested. “These people don’t make much money.” She suggested that the rate paid census takers be increased for the 1992 census to one dollar instead of fifty cents per household. “I want to commend Mr. Wingfield (high school government teacher Dennis Wingfield, who was one of the census takers),” she said. “I think he covered half the county, picking up when other census takers quit. He got an amazing number.” “Mr. Wingfield has been here so many years he instinctively knows where people are,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said. “We need to have more publicity so people will be more aware and encourage the public to be more cooperative,” she said. Spread out over the next three years the county will receive more than $1,000 for each school-aged child in sales tax revenues, Mrs. Piper explained. Earlier the School Board had received a tour of the new high school facilities. They visited the new computer lab, outfitted with Apple Macintosh computers donated by the Potomac Edison Company. There they were greeted by one of the computers itself, with a talking voice which welcomed each member by name to the computer lab. To assist the county’s teachers in mastering these new teaching aids, Dr. Gangel told the board that two courses will be offered to teachers through Lord Fairfax Community College, each for two credits. One will teach how to use the Macintosh computers and will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30-7:30 p.m. for five weeks. The other will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the same times, also for five weeks, but will focus on using the Apple GS computers that Potomac Edison donated to the elementary school. The board also visited the electronic classroom which will be used to teach Latin and Advanced Placement English by television. The students will be hooked up by telephone to the teacher and will send in their homework by way of a fax machine. The School Board members also saw the gymnasium, with the floor newly refinished and wider lines painted for the basketball court. The board also voted to offer breakfast to elementary school students on a trial basis. Two years ago the school system tried a breakfast program at the high school. “It started great guns and then plopped,” Dr. Gangel said. “I am not certain that there are numerous students going to school without breakfast,” he said. He recommended that the school division try the breakfast program for six weeks and then evaluate its success. The breakfasts will cost $.50. Those entitled to reduced price lunches will be able to buy breakfast for $.30, and those entitled to free lunch will be able to get breakfast free also, he said. Breakfast will be served between 8 and 8:30 in the morning, with children buying breakfast being allowed to get off the buses early. In other action the School Board: • accepted bids from Quarles Petroleum for gasoline and diesel fuel, from Holtzman Oil for fuel oil to heat the elementary school and from A1 Shirley and Sons of Winchester for coal to heat the high school • agreed to a request from the C and P Telephone Company for a right of way at the comer of U.S. 211 and Route 636 near the School Board offices for access to their below ground equipment • approved Dr. Gangel’s recommendation that he have an energy audit done to see if the school system can reduce its energy use • learned' that the turnover rate of professional employees has been reduced from 16 employees or 21 percent in 1986-87 and 13 employees or 17 percent in 1987-88 to seven employees or nine percent in 1988-89 • appointed Elizabeth Smith as an elementary Chapter One teacher • appointed Joseph Moore to a high school special education position.

Council Continued from page 1 Morehouse, Councilman Peter Skowronski and planner Stuart Willis. County Administrator John McCarthy, who also serves as town zoning administrator and advisor, was requested to sit with the committee as well. / Mr. Reynolds also noted that revisions to the town’s historic district and zoning ordinances had been sent to him for advertisement for a public hearing, but that he had held them back: Since the planners have now received copies of the draft amendments, all have been advertised for a public hearing at the Planning Commission’s Aug. 22 meeting, Mr. Reynolds added. The council rejected a request by Councilwoman Evelyn Willis, who is also the acting chairwoman of the Architectural Review Board, that the council hold a round-table discussion with the ARB in September. “The ARB badly needs direction,” she told the council. “We don’t know whether to follow the strictest inter picuauxun ui LI1C UI UlIUUHJe, UI LO tread softly. We don’t know what the townspeople want, or what the council wants.” Mayor Morehouse called the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness “a judgment call.” In approving the county’s application for the jail addition, which overruled the ARB’s earlier denial, “the council was not trying to send a message to the ARB. My vote, anyway, wTas strictly looking at that case. It was my interpretation that it was appropriate. “So, for the council to try to adopt nebulous rules or guidelines for the ARB would be inappropriate. Use your judgement,” the mayor told Mrs. Willis. “You know a lot more about the historic district ordinance than we do.” Mr. Gooch suggested that the proper forum for a round-table discussion would be between the ARB members and the town’s residents. “We delegate the responsibilities to the ARB, and they make the decisions. “The decision of the council on the county’s appeal,” Mr. Gooch continued, “should not be seen as a slap on the wrist. That’s not the case at all.” However, he added, the ARB should never assume that the council v\in aiwajs upnola its decisions. “That would invalidate the appeal process.” Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the historic district ordinance, which guides the ARB in its deliberations, “is very general when it comes to directions, to what principles you will apply." He suggested that changes might have to be made to that ordinance, especially since the ARB has now adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Preservation of Historic Buildings. The council agreed, in a 4-1 vote with Mr. Skowronski opposed, to advertise for a joint public hearing with the town Planning Commission in September an amendment to the historic district ordinance which would allow’ one county resident to serve on the ARB. Mrs. Willis, noting that the ARB had been reduced to only two members by Mrs. Miller’s resignation, asked that at least one more person be appointed to the board. She suggested Patrick O’Connell and Donna Kevis as two residents who had indicated their willingness to serve. Mr. Skowronski again voiced his opposition. “First off we don’t have a full council,” noting the absences of treasurer Brad Fisher and Bill Courses Continued from page 1 biology class that is required of all high school sophomores, will teach the advanced class. The most popular of the new offerings is Drama. Twenty students have signed up to take this class, which, according to teacher and Drama Club faculty advisor Beth Briggs, will involve not only reading plays and learning about the history of the theater, but also building sets. Architectural Drawing is being offered for the first time for students who want to go beyond the Technical Drawing class which has been available. The eight students in this class will be able to use the Computer Aided Design (CAD) program for their projects. A split-semester course combining Marriage and the Family during the fall semester and Child Care and Parenting during the spring semester is another new offering that has attracted ten students. Another split course, Business Law first semester with an Employment Seminar second semester has attracted 12 students, who are chiefly interested in business. Finally, Physical Education for Juniors and Seniors has appealed to 19 students, mostly boys who also play varsity sports. The seven-period day has also allowed more students to join the band or chorus. In past years students have had to drop out of those programs because of all the required courses in ninth and tenth grade. In past years about 18 students have taken chorus and 15 to 18 have taken band. This year 34 students are taking chorus, and 35 have signed up for the band. The new schedule has also brought more flexibility in scheduling teachers. In the past teachers taught five periods and had one period for planning. This year most Shooting Continued from page 1 gun was used, if more than one shot was fired, or just how the Charlottesville case related to the killing. Nor would he say why Hinkle and Smith were suspects, or confirm reports that they submitted to gunfire-analysis tests and a car search. They also wouldn’t comment why police are looking for a blue Pontiac Grand-Am. According to press accounts, Mrs. Gordon and her family had been threatened prior to the shooting. Mrs. Gordon was described as a former drug abuser Police aren’t talking about details of the investigation, but residents of the Fauquier County hamlet known as Billington are, and it has scared them. “We’re all panicking, saying, ‘Are they still around-, are they going to come after us?’,” said Catherine Powers, who lives with her family directly across from the crime scene. Mrs. Powers said she didn’t understand why Ward and Mrs. Gordon didn’t hide once they were threatened, or how they could end up 50 miles from D.C. without knowing they were targets. “I heard that a woman saw and heard the whole thing, but she doesn’t want to get involved,” she said. “If she saw something, I say she should report it.” She was at home last Thursday before 7:30 a.m., when “an elderly, clean-shaven man wearing a beeper” knocked on her door. The man called the murder in as an accident because the window was smashed in. The Remington Rescue Squad and State Police personnel arrived shortly thereafter. Mrs. Powers said she watched rescue squad workers administer CPR for 15 minutes before they gave up. Although the actual shooting occured near the turn-around area by the hubcap dealer, Gordon’s Ford EXP hatchback did not stop until the top of the next hill, where “Ter mite” Ward brought it under control. Ward was not injured seriously by the bullet, which narrowly missed his spinal cord. Hospital sources said he was operated on in the emergency room and released later that day. The car came to rest right in front of the home of David and Regina Dodson, who were away at the time. "We were on vacation, and when I came home someone said. Hey, 1 saw your house on television.' We’ve found surgical gloves and gauze on the road by the driveway," he said. Dodson said he was staying calm about the affair, but that his wife and family were shaken by it. “She said we should sell the house and get out of here,” he said. “It’s kind of freaky, right in front of your home.” Mrs. Powers said she was upset that the bloody gloves and gauze were left on the road. “I didn’t like the bloody gloves and gauze,” she said. “It was really disgusting. Channel 7 even showed the bloody gauze blowing in the wind. They should have picked it up with the rest of the trash.” Police are actively searching for clues in the case, even stopping cars at Opal during morning rush hour to ask for tips. Although the murder occurred in Fauquier County, that is apparently its only connection here, said Commonw’ealth’s Attorney Jonathan Lynn, who will prosecute Mrs. Gordon’s killer, if he is caught. “We’ve been very fortunate so far that we haven’t seen a drug-related shooting already,” said Lynn. “We’ve all been aware that it w'as just a matter of time before violence touched Fauquier County.” “The situation has apparently reached from the district to the Charlottesville area,” said Lynn, “and Fauquier, of course, is right between them.” “It’s bad enough that we have to watch this stuff on television every night. We won’t be able to keep it out of here if they think they can get away with murder,” said Mrs. Power.

Three teachers will be teaching six periods, for which they will receive supplemental compensation. The school had hoped to offer French IV-V. Only one student indicated an interest, but that is just as well, since 59 students signed up for French I. For the first time there will be three sections of French I. With two sections of French II and one of French III, Cynthia Whelan will be teaching six periods. This would not have been possible in the past, and the 59 French I students would have to be crammed in two sections. Carla Scott, who will teach the new class in Business Law; and Scott Currie, the Architectural Drawing instructor, will also be teaching six periods. The yearbook and school newspaper sponsors will have a period for working on those projects, and students who have that period free can work with them on a non-credit basis. Two teachers will be “facilitators” for the electronic classrooms. They will monitor the classes and be local contacts for the statewide courses. Another new wrinkle at the high school this year will be an in-school suspension program. Students suspended from class will not necessarily be suspended from school. They will be assigned to a certain classroom and will be expected to continue their schoohvork, but be segregated from tlTe rest of the students. Eight teachers will rotate as monitors for the in-school suspension room during their seventh period. One teacher will use his seventh period to assist the David Smith, the school’s newly-hired athletic director, and another will use hers to work on projects related to her after-school work as faculty sponsor of the senior class.

We’ve held up nominations to the Planning Cdfamission for several months and the you never get to talk to them." “I don’t see the rush," Mr. Skowronski insisted. “We've gotten in trouble before because we jumped into something.” Mr. Gooch suggested that Mr. O’Connell and Mrs. Kevis be appointed, and the filling of the fifth seat be delayed until September, after the question of county representation on the ARB is decided. The council agreed and appointed the two on a 4-1 vote, with Mr. Skowronski opposed. In other business, the council: • voted to advertise a public hearing on vacating the “paper street” extension of Jett St. between the Town Hall and the Extension Office. Part of that street will be conveyed to the county along with the Town Hall. ARB Continued from page t Mr. McCarthy said the only question remaining is the orientation of the building’s peaked roof. The ARB members agreed to allow him to return with the county’s plan afterconsulting with Mr. Biegel. The ARB made one other change to Mr. Biegel’s plans, swapping his round window between the addition’s twin chimneys for a square one. The architect had explained that he chose the round window to carry on similar features found on the Washington Baptist Church and the courthouse. “The round window had a strong appeal,” Mr. O’Connell acknowledged, “until I looked at the rest of the building. It’s extremely simple. The eye is drawn to the window, and it might read new rather than a small square window, unadorned. His idea was an interesting one, but this is a much more simple structure.” Acting Chairman Evelyn Willis Rappahannock County Public School Fees 1989-90 Rentals Grade K-3 4-7 8-12 Fee 1988-89 1989-90 *$27.00 $29.00 *$37.00 $39.00 *$4.00/Book **$4.00 Book Including consumable workbooks except reading workbook ** Exception - textbooks in Part B.

The county also agreed to install risers on the existing stairs facing Mt. Salem Avenue; to make every effort to match the windows and their mullions with those found throughout the courthouse complex; to attempt to match the materials, quality and design of the shutters on the existing jail; to attempt to match the existing gutters, soffits, roof and overhangs; to match the stone foundation with the stone wall along Porter St.; to mortar up a sample of the bricks and mortar selected for the addition for ARB approval; and to return later for approval of the addition’s outside lighting fixtures. The ARB also approved an application from' R. Probbst for a new house to be constructed on a lot in the Rev. Scott’s subdivision on Piedmont Ave. Mr. Probbst plans a brick and frame home on the lot. He told the board that he had considered cedar shakes for the roof, “but as a firefighter and with a couple of small kids, I’m not wild about shakes on the roof." Mrs. Willis said she saw no problem with either the cedar shakes or with the asphalt shingle style Mr. Probbst had selected, and the ARB approved both options. She asked if the other board members thought the plans should be reviewed by one of the ARB’s advisors. “I don't know that we ought to use the advisors on every application,” Mr. Parrish replied. “Some-' times I would say ‘Yes,’ but this time I think we can decide.” “I don’t see anything controversial about it,” Mr. O’Connell added. The ARB approved the application, with the stipulations that all windows have real mullions rather than pop-out grilles, and that Mr. Probbst return later for approval of his paint choices. In other business, the ARB: • approved the replacement of an aging and deteriorated picket fence at Heritage House. Mrs. Willis explained that the new fence was actually a “by-right” replacement, but the owners of the property applied anyway because there was a 1/2 inch difference in the size of the pickets. • noted that the screening around the trash cans and heat pumps behind Trinity Episcopal Church was to be painted white, and that the painting has not yet been done. The ARB requested that a letter be sent to the church’s vestry committee advising them of that fact.
