' • .v Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan Revenue figures indicate land use program adds 15 cents to tax rate By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The 122,194 acres in Rappahannock County which are enrolled in the land use tax system add 15 cents to the county’s real estate tax rate. Under the land use tax program, this acreage is assessed, for tax purposes, at a value of between $250 and $660 per acre depending on whether it is open or forested, and on its soil type. The total assessed value of the 122,194 acres across the county is $88 million, $81.7 million less that its fair market value as of News analysis the last reassessment. If that $81.7 million in lost tax revenues were added to the county’s tax base, a rate of 60 cents would raise as much tax monies as the adopted rate of 75 cents, which includes the land use program. In order to qualify for this tax break, farmers promise to keep the land in farming. They must show that the land is pastured, or crops are taken from it. If they stop farming their land, or the land is sold for development, they have to pay five years worth of back taxes equal to the amount the taxes would have been had the acreage been assessed at its full fair market value. The land use program was begun 13 years ago as an incentive for VirSee LAND USE, p. 16 All foster homes full County faces critical need for placement By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Social Services Director Beverly Bowen this week issued a plea for families to care for children in need of foster homes. With an increasing number of children removed from their natural homes due to abuse or neglect, the county's Department of Social Services has been unable to find foster homes to fill the need. The result, Mrs. Bowen said, is that many of the children are sent to stay in foster homes outside Rappahannock County. “That’s real sad, because the kids miss their roots, and they lose their ties to the county,” she said. Sometimes, due to circumstances of a particular situation, the best solution to protect the child’s welfare is to move him to another area. But in most cases, “the children should be here. The department is presently working with a caseload of 19 children, and Mrs. Bowen said she expects that several more will be added shortly. However, the county presently has only three homes willing to accept foster children, and they are all full. Children come under the protection of Social Services for a variety of reasons, Mrs. Bowen explained. Mostly, it is due to abuse at the hands of their natural parents or other family members. Sometimes, that abuse is sexual, which has gained wide notariety in the press in recent years. But physical abuse can take other forms, like extreme corporal punishment, and abuse can also be mental or emotional, in the form of threats or other behavior. See FOSTER, p. 16 Rezoning hinges on proffer By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer , Virginia Cloud’s request for a rezoning won the approval of the county's Planning Commission, but only with stipulations which would limit the parcel’s density. Mrs. Cloud is the contract buyer of a id-acre parcel on the north side of U.S. 211 about a mile west of Sperrvville. The land is zoned agricultural, which limits its building density to one dwelling per 25 acres. She applied for a rezoning to R-5, a residential classification which allows one home on each five acres. Mrs. Cloud also submitted a proffer which would have limited the number of subdivided lots to three, each not less than five acres. County Administrator John McCarthy told the planners that the “core decision” on the application was whether R-5 zoning should be extended out from the village of Sperryville. He added that his opinion was that a density of one dwelling per five acres “is too dense in this transition area,” but that if the density were reduced somewhat, it w’ould be an acceptable compromise. In presenting the application, Mr. McCarthy noted that the parcel presently has a special use permit for a travel-trailer campground with up to 36 sites. That permit, which was issued in 1973 and renewed in 1980, has never been used. If the rezoning is granted, the special use permit for the campground would be revoked by that action. Mr. McCarthy told the planners that the parcel is served by two rights-of-way, one a deeded right-of-way on the east side, the other a proscriptive, or traditional right-of-way, on the west side which also serves a number of other homes. He said his feeling was that the parcel should be served by the deeded right-of-way rather than the proscriptive easement. Mr. McCarthy said that Mrs. Cloud was also inter-, ested in preserving the ability of the subdivided lots to be cut again, particularly through the family transfer process. That would lead to a total of six lots on the parcel. He noted that Mrs. Cloud had voiced a preference for entering the property through the proscriptive easement on the west side, which already serves several homes nearby. “To throw three more lots onto that road is probably not the best idea," he told the planners. And, Mr. McCarthy added, under state law the county cannot enforce any road standards onto lots created by family subdivisions. Therefore, the possible total of six lots could be created without any upgrade of the road serving the subdivision. Several neighbors attended the hearing, including Beverly Atkins. “I’m not really in favor or against,” she told the planners. The road is there, . . . it’s been there for years. If the road comes in from Route 211, there See PROFFER, p. 16 New Lions Club president seemed the natural choice By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Cecelia Pike can’t remember when she last had “spare time.” With a day that starts at three in the morning and usually isn’t over until ten in the evening, “I barely manage doing everything I need to do each day. But I love it,” she beams. It’s this love of life and abundance of energy that made her the unanimous choice for the Rappahannock Lions Club president in elections held last month. Mrs. Pike is the first woman to assume the leadership role of the Rappahannock pride. She is also the only female member of the club. None of this means a hill of beans to the gen der-blind club members. They say they want the best possible person heading their organization, and this time, that best possible person just happened to be a woman. “We are a fellowship in the Lions Club,” said Jim Vaughn, voicing the sentiments of his fellow Lions. “We don’t base anything on sex. It’s like the other fellows have said: she’s not in it for what she can get out of it. None of us are! And as for whether or not she’ll make a good president - she already has,” said the 30 year veteran of lionism.

VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The Stale Debate question continues to overshadow issues By MARY K. BLEWITT f Arundel Newspapers State Writer , The issues of Virginia’s gubernatorial race continued to be overshadowed by talk of debates at a Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce luncheon held last Friday, Aug. 18. Republican J. Marshall Coleman and Democrat Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, rivals for the governor’s seat, eventually agreed to two statewide televised debates before a crowd of 600 people at the Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Comer. Originally touted as a debate, the chamber event became a joint ap.pearance after Coleman insisted that he had never agreed to the debate. , Last month, Wilder was responsible for transforming a debate at Virginia Beach into separate press conferences. Wilder refused to debate when he discovered that the Coleman campaign planned to film , the event and charged that Coleman had broken debate rules. As a result, the question of debates , has played center stage during the month of August and the issues of concern to the Commonwealth have become the backdrop. “I apologize to the people of Vir-„ ginia for both of us,” Wilder told members of the press. “I think that the people of Virginia are entitled to better.” , Coleman, too, apologized to the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce for having gotten caught in some cross-fire. Both candidates responded to a series of questions posed by a panel of four members of the local media. When asked by Kent Jenkins Jr. of the Washington Post what the prospects of a debate were, Coleman responded that he had requested two televised ^ebatgs and that “all Doug Wilder has^to do is say yes.” “Yes,” responded Wilder from a nearby table. Surrounded by cheers from what appeared to be a largely Democratic audience, Wilder proceeded to approach the podium. However, chamber officials elected to stick to the panel format agreed to by both candidates that day. Coleman later gibbed Wilder, thanking him for the “comedy of relief.” Despite the open agreement to debate, the two candidates remained skeptical of each other, questioning the other’s trustworthiness as they have throughout the campaign. “I think they’ll fall all over each other to reach an agreement over these debates.” commented Dr. Larry Sabato, professor of Government and Foreign affairs at the University of Virginia, w'ho served as panel moderator. No new ground was broken by panel questions which focused on the issues of transportation, the environment, abortion and campaign contributions. Both candidates continually accused their opponent of flip-flopping on the issues. Wilder said he supported the Northern Virginia Transportation District and the use of pledge bonds, and has consistently opposed, an increase in sales tax for anything including transportation. Coleman said he favored a Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority that would raise and spend monies for roads in the upper part of the state. Posing two of the questions that Coleman had planned to ask at Virginia Beach, Susan King of WJLA TV-7 asked Wilder about his “slum” property on Richmond’s Church Hill and his acceptance of money for speeches during 1986. Wilder called the Richmond property, which he no longer owns, “the longest running political nonstory” in Virginia’s political history. The property was never found guilty of any housing violations, he said. Wilder then admitted that accepting speech monies was wrong and that he no longer participated in ^uch practices. Wilder was also questioned by Tom Grubisich of the Connection Newspaper Group about the infamous U.S. Sen. Charles S. Robb letters written during Wilder’s 1985 campaign that raised questions about his credibility. “Chuck Robb is doing everything he can to get Doug Wilder elected to governor,” said Wilder who quoted the former Democratic governor as saying, ‘On the very really impor Underdog Benedetti blasts Terry's record By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer « FALLS CHURCH — State Sen. Joseph B. Benedetti spoke to a group of elderly at a cafeteria in Falls Church. He then rushed to a nearby bank to introduce himself to employees and customers. As the day approached 5 p.m., Benedetti headed toward the Metro station to greet commuters on their way home from work. The Republican candidate for attorney general is ' attempting to overcome his greatest handicap — lack of hamb' recognition. 1 Challenging the better-known '.‘Democratic incumbent Mary Sue Terry, Benedetti is running a grassroots campaign traveling the veins of Virginia. The 60-year-old Richmond attorney has made fighting the war on ’drugs and protecting the environment the central issues of his plat' form. In his new Falls Church campaign office, Benedetti detailed "some of his campaign proposals as well as presented examples of what he called his opponent's “ineffectiveness.” Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, “said he is going to be the drug czar SEN. JOSEPH BENEDETTI of Virginia,” related Benedetti. “That seems to me to be a vote of noconfidence for the person in the attorney general’s office.” Benedetti has made it clear that he will be strict on drug traffickers. He supports the death penalty for drug kingpins and the use of drug assets for drug enforcement purposes.

According t" the GOP candidate, the tax or fine would be scaled to the amount of drugs found. Under the plan, one ounce of marijuana would cost the user $25. While Benedetti admits that national studies have found Virginia to be tough on drug dealers compared with other states, he points out the need to be tougher on drug users. His “Zero Tolerance" bill would, once again, reaches into the offender’s wallet. “If wre find it in your automobile, then you lose your automobile,” said Benedetti.

Day REALTOR ‘”™ A BETTER INVESTMENT If you had $1,000 to invest, would it make more sense to put this money in the bank or would you get a better return if you invested it in energy-saving measures in your home? Without question, it would be a much better investment to upgrade energy-saving measures in your home. Even with compounding, you’ll get less than $100 a year on your $1,000 in bank interest. Putting $1,000 in your home by upgrading your heating system or insulation, for example, should save you at least $150 (15% of your investment) in heating and cooling bills in your first year.

Coleman stressed the need to have individual accountability. He criticize Wilder, saying that the lieutenant governor had not made any effort to fight drugs during his term. Both candidates, who have received campaign contributions in the $100,000’s from individual contributors, were asked if there were any campaign contributions of any size which they would not accept. Responding that there was no law in Virginia limiting the amount they were permitted to accept, both candidates accused each other of having larger contributions, adding that the contributions would not effect their decision-making as governor. The only true debate took place between Donald S. Beyer Jr. and Sen. Edwina P. “Eddy” Dalton, Democratic and Republican candidates for the office of the lieutenant governor respectively. Sabato called the debate a “wash” with no one candidate appearing stronger or weaker than the other. There remained, however, no winner among the gubernatorial candidates. “It’s tough to lose a non-debate,” Dr. Sabato said. solve Virginia’s prison overcrowding crisis. Benedetti offers shock incarceration, electronic surveillance, and prison privatization as alternatives to more prisons. j Presenting himself as an avid environmentalist, Benedetti favors the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Act which gives the state control over local zoning laws and establishes guidelines for growth around the bay. The senator criticized Terry’s handling of Avtex Fibers Inc., Virginia’s largest polluter, likening her approach to “kicking a horse when the horse is about to collapse.” The rayon-manufacturing company faced a series of state violations and fines this year, forcing it to reduce its plant production output and nearly forcing it to close its doors. “I would have kicked them earlier when they were healthy or I would have tried to find ways to work out the problem with them,” said Benedetti.

POWER Arundel Newspapers Staff Intern CULPEPER — Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder sidestepped a clear statement of his position on the proposed western bypass Tuesday night, despite repeated attempts by questioners to elicit a response. Following a campaign rally at Culpeper’s Newberry building, Wilder, the Democratic candidate in the governor’s race, said he favors the eastern bypass, but would like to see more studies on the western bypass. In his bid for the state’s chief executive’s job, Wilder also attended a campaign breakfast Wednesday morning at the American Legion Hall in Warrenton. After a speech to the Fauquier Democratic Committee there, Wilder still would not further clarify his position, except to say that his transportation plan to be releasesd Thursday will “will explain where we can get the money for more transportation funding. "I support the immediate construction of an eastern bypass, since it will alleviate congestion. The money for a western bypass is not yet available, so I say we study the environmental impact of a western bypass,” said Wilder, following a speech to 100 backers in Culpeper. “Let’s not kid ourselves. The money for a western bypass isn’t there right now. I will put out a transportation plan on Thursday, in which I will spell out where we plan to get additional funding," he said. , In remarks on other matters after his Culpeper speech, Wilder explained his approval of the controversial state-mandated Family Life Education curriculum. “I think our youngsters, more than at any other time, need to know about their bodies, the effects of drugs, teenage pregnancy, what venerea] disease can do, and what AIDS has done,” said Wilder, who cast the tiebreaker in last year’s General Assembly vote on the issue. “They need to know that the liberty of going out and having children is not real freedom.” When asked whether he favors elected or appointed school boards, Wilder replied that he is in favor “of local options. I think that each locality should be allowed to determine what would be in their best interests.” Wilder did not comment further on his plans for utilizing local options. It wasn’t an entirely smooth visit for the candidate. Upon his arrival at the Culpeper rally, Wilder was immediately questioned by a member of the Culpeper Town Council, John Garr, about Wilder’s failure to reply to the Town Council about a proposed enlargement of Culpeper's Campbell Prison. Garr asked the question when the pair shook hands. Wilder would not reply. During his speech. Wilder likened himself to Civil War Gen. Robert E. Lee, saving that after studying a portrait of Lee, he thought how “had fewer troops, and never had any technical advantages. As I said to a reporter later, I guess I must be the Robert E. Lee of this election." Wilder went on to say that his opponent, Marshall Coleman, resembles Gen. George McClellan, who “always had more troops . . . always had the greatest array of technicians, and always lost.” Wilder also pledged to “continue to run a positive campaign.” After the Culpeper rally. Wilder released a memo discussing his pro-abortion stance, stating, "My opponent thought he could deceive the public and claim that he had changed his previous abortion views, when in fact he has secretly promised ban-abortion groups that he will gladly sign legislation that prohibits abortions, even in cases of rape and incest." “I think his (Wilder’s) biggest challenge remaining is to continue to run a positive campaign while running against a man who is known for running a negative campaign,” said Calhoun. Finally, Culpeper Mayor Waller P. Jones introduced Wilder, saying that he was "the best qualified candidate for governor in years." Jones then presented Wilder with a key to the town. Zann Embrey, the chairman of the Culpeper Democratic Committee, said in an introductory speech at the Culpeper rally that "our candidates do not spend million to nominate themselves and then call themselves conservatives.” “It’s important for Doug to get to the voters on a one to one basis,” Embrey said. “He must continue to see and be seen by the voters.”

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, AUGUST 24,1989 Address the issues We’re happy to hear that the two candidates for Virginia’s governor, Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and former Attorney General J. Marshall Coleman, have finally agreed to debate. It’s about time. The two have spent the summer slinging mud and personal attacks back and forth, most of the time resembling obnoxious schoolboys rather than candidates for the state’s highest office. Labor Day traditionally marks the time when the fall political races begin in earnest, when the campaign machinery which has been idling through the summer shifts into high gear. We hope that it will also mark the end of the superficial bickering which has so far marred the gubernatorial campaign. Virginia faces a multitude of problems, not the least of which are the transportation crisis in Northern Virginia and the skyrocketing tax rate faced by Rappahannock residents and their neighbors. The state’s next governor is going to have to offer real solutions to these problems. Platitudes and generalities won’t solve these needs. We hope that Messrs. Wilder and Coleman, one of whom will assume the governorship in January, will give the people of Virginia some concrete proposals about how they intend to deal with the important questions they will face. Mr. Wilder was correct in apologising for the conduct of the campaign — on both sides — thus far. We hope that it was not just another empty campaign gambit, and that the candidates will truly address the very real concerns of their would-be constituents. A valid concern Supervisor Mike Massie, in his capacity as the Board of Supervisors' representative to the county Planning Commission, expressed concern last week that approval of a variance request based on the erroneous siting of a home may set a precedent which will come back to haunt the county. Over Mr. Massie’s objection, the planners recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals approve the variance. Mr. Massie correctly pointed out that, historically, such excuses have been given when property-owners ignore the county’s zoning requirements. It’s well known, Mr. Massie said, that you can put your house where you want, then plead ignorance and apply for a variance. “They don’t make you move it.” Though there was no evidence of such subterfuge in the situation addressed by the planners last week, Mr. Massie does have a point. Property-owners and contractors in the county must understand that the county has no obligation to approve such requests — and that, in the future, such mistakes will not automatically lead to a variance. Such mistakes are certainly expensive — but the expense should not be borne by the taxpayers or officials of Rappahannock County. r Commentary Rappahannock heritage Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter LOOKING TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS from Rt. 618 in Castleton, storm clouds gather on a August afternoon. Letters to the editor At 25, VISTA still builds America To the editor: A quarter-century ago, in August, 1964, President Johnson signed legislation creating Volunteers in Service to America — the VISTA program. Since then, nearly 100,000 Americans have given a year of their lives to serve in low-income communities as VISTA volunteers. Few citizens have worked so hard or shared so much of themselves in the fight to end poverty in our country. As we celebrate VISTA’s 25th anniversary, we honor the great achievement of VISTA volunteers, past and present, and we ask all Americans to join VISTA in helping poor communities gain a strong, new future. Under the leadership of President George Bush, VISTA will continue to mobilize volunteers and resources, to bring hope where there has been despair, and to help low-income communities grow through self-sufficiency and local initiative. VISTA volunteers will take the lead in demonstrating, as the President has said, that “From now on. in America, any definition of a successful life must include serving others.” Our VISTA anniversary theme, “Building a Community One Block at a Time,” describes the service of VISTA volunteers. They assist poor '|JHH If ELf'C/p%v£T W1^ plflG' -fH& 0y' 0r.^"_ ..i '-rut 7?/£ ' cA ? ■c ^(r o 6V communities in organizing self-help projects, garnering private support and recruiting local' volunteers — making sure that when their VISTA service ends, strong, growing programs continue in the community. VISTA volunteers are provided only a modest allowance, based on local poverty rates. They seek no reward beyond knowing that they have made a difference where the need was great and challenges were many. By sharing with others, VISTA Volunteers gain unparalleled experience and leadership skills. They learn what works. They learn that battles against illiteracy, drug abuse, homelessness, and every other aspect of poverty can be won with commitment, perseverance and full support from the community. We will celebrate VISTA’s 25th anniversary beginning with the Aug. 20 commemoration of its founding legislation and ending in January, the month when VISTA Volunteers first entered service. Through VISTA anniversary publicity and events, we will reach out to all Americans for participation and support, especially to college students and recent college graduates, urging them to consider a year of VISTA service. We ask all citizens, businessess and local organizations to become partners with VISTA projects in their communities. Let us each honor the patriotism and proud service of VISTA volunteers by getting involved ourselves, by extending the spirit of caring for our neighbors that has always strengthened our nation, and by supporting VISTA volunteers as they help communities build the future, one block at a time. PATRICIA A.E. RODGERS Washington, D.C. Company 1 offers thanks To the editor: The Washington Volunteer Fire Dept, would like to thank the following people for their help last weekend: Tom Massie, RAAC, Tom and Loretta Lee, Dean and Linda Morehouse, David Batchelder, Peter Luke, David Smith, Diane Bruce, Nan Thomasson, and especially the residents of the Town of Washington who were serenaded to sleep and Sheriff Woodward who provided,- so much valuable support. We had a wonderful time and we hope you did, too. CHIEF ROGER ROACH Washington VFD Considering nation's direction gives cause to 'shudder' To the editor: In the Aug. 3 edition of the Rappahannock News, Roderick I. Sweet reported that, after a visit to Massachusetts, he “shuddered” to think of the consequences to the nation if Gov. Michael Dukakis had been electecd president last November. The evidence presented by Mr. Sweet showed a frustrated governor cutting back on a variety of programs, most of which, dealt with social and educational matters, after the state legislature had refused to enact a tax increase. The action taken by Gov. Dukakis at the expense of his personal popularity, was, I submit, both courageous and responsible. On this point, I suggest a comparison of his willingness to act with the equivocation of our present and past presidents in similar circumstances. Finally, had Mr. Sweet spent more time in Massachusetts, he might have observed that, notwithstanding Gov. Dukakis’ cuts, the educational, social, and enviromental programs already in place there are among the best in the country. Massachusetts is a relatively civilized state, as states go. Gov. Dukakis is a Democrat (Boo! Hiss!), whereas Presidents Reagan and Bush are Republicans (Hurrah!) Before we accept such partisan banality, however, let us consider briefly a few of the consequences to the nation of the acts, or failure to act, of the former of these two Republican administrations: • The savings and loan industry was deregulated by President Reagan to “get the government off their backs” and to promote competition. To bail out this industry from the failures brought about by the greed and fraud of the S & L operators thus freed of governmental supervision, the nation’^ taxpayers, ordinary citizens all, will have to pay out an estimated $300 billion during the next 30 years. • The cleanup of government-run nuclear weapons plants, caused by negligent supervision, underestimated radiation risk, and a secrecy that prevented adequate public oversight and debate, will cost the taxpayers an estimated $130 billion to $150 billion, and even that amount may not settle the matter successfully. • The Pentagon procurement scandal, which was the result of the revolving door syndrome (an inces In appreciation To the editor: Many thanks to Mrs. Jeanne Welch for her time and effort in coordinating and managing our ball teams this year. Without your help, we would not have been successful. RAPPAHANNOCK ATHLETIC ASSN. Sperryville tuous relationship between defense contractors and government personnel, including Reagan appointees), will cost taxpayers at least several billion dollars. • The Farm Credit System bail out, necessitated by reckles lending policies and inadequate oversight, will cost approximately $5 billion. • Housing and Urban Development (HUD) scandals featuring waste, abuse, fraud, and profiteering in the administration of HUD programs, will cost taxpayers $4 billion to $8 billion after all the bills are paid. James Watt, Reagan’s Secretary of Interior, for example, received a commission of $300,000 for peddling his influence at HUD in eight (count em) telephone calls! As if all of the above were not enough, there are many other costly programs which must be undertaken during the next decade or so, most of which could be roughly described as a kind of deferred maintenance. Thus, during their recent meeting in Chicago, the nation’s governors focused on repairing the nation’s infrastructure — i.e., highways, bridges, dams, air, rail, mass transit, water and sewage systems. The governor’s Task Force Report estimates a cost of $1 to $3 trillion for transportation alone within the next 20 years. This is the price of past neglect, of deferring maintenance, while we indulged our penchant for building Star Wars and Stealth bombers. Finally, as a nation we must face up to the fact that our urban centers are increasingly affected by drugs, violence, lawlessness, and decay, which make them unfit to live in. During the Reagan years, the rich grew richer, the poor poorer. The cost of ameliorating the results of a decade of social neglect, and restoring civility and mutual respect in our society, will be incalculable. And since the national debt has been trebled during the Reagan years, budget considerations have caused the nation to be frozen in the ice of its own indifference. Mr. Sweet shudders to think where we might be headed if Gov. Dukakis had been elected last November. For my part, I shudder to think where we have been headed for the past decade. I also shudder to contemplate the nation’s continuing refusal or inablility to address its real problems. LEE BIRD Washington

Drug, abortion foes could join forces In the wild, wacky world of politics, anything is possible. Anti-abortion activists, who fervently want the government to make the practice illegal, have escalated their activities to the verge of urban terrorism with sit-down demonstrations, abusive confrontations, and the fire bombing of abortion clinics. How’s that for law-abiding behavior? The movement itself, moreover, pushes for governmental regulation over what is arguably about the most intimate decision made by the family: whether or not to have children. It seems that those folks want government out of our lives, as long as the government is involved in things they don’t agree with — assistance for the poor and handicapped, for example. But if there’s something which they think needs regulating — abortion, for example — Hey, step right up, let’s make it illegal. I he other hot topic this year is drugs, t,veryone, especially the politicians up for re-election in November, is making a ritual expression of concern over the toll which drugs are taking in this country. President Bush (though he's not up for re-election) is set to unveil yet another “War on Drugs” early in September. I don’t know about my readers, but I’m old enough to remember the last 20 years. Without doing any research, I think we’ve probably had an announcement about a new’ “War on Drugs” about every other year, at least. Remember when President Bush was Vice-President Bush, and headed an inter-agency task force to coordinate the federal “War on Drugs"? It wasn't one of his major success stories. The fact is, as my parents told me many years ago, you can’t legislate morality. And you especially can’t do it w hen immoral conduct is so financially attractive. Where else can a 15-yearold kid make $10,000 to $15,000 a week? Not as the editor of a community newspaper, I can assure you. From my choir by Lou Hotter So, the politicos suggest, let’s change the law. Every convicted drug offender gets an automatic 10 years in prison for his crime. First off, that 15year-old kid knows that that will happen only if he gets caught — and in his mind, only chumps get caught. Meanwhile, he’s raking in the cash. To expect him to quit making what, to him, is easy money by holding an ethereal threat of prison over his head is unrealistic. The suggestion of mandatory sentencing, moreover, assumes that there is adequate prison space to incarcerate convicted felons for extended periods of time — an assumption which is completely at odds with the present situation. Where will all the tdx money to construct new' prisons come from? Target the users, the politicians suggest. Most have plenty of money — they can pay the thousands of dollars in mandatory fines proposed by some. Anyone who’s spent much time in a courtroom knows that defendants rarely get socked with the full measure of the law. That’s especially true for the most affluent criminals, the ones who can afford to hire high-powered legal counsel. They get off, or they get their sentences reduced, or some other arrangement is made. Perhaps there’s an alternative. Just this week I saw a wire photo of two abortion protesters outside a Midwestern clinic. They lay on the ground in front of the door to an abortion clinic, attached by large locks around their necks to a 200-pound concrete block. After firefighters used bolt cutters to cut the locks, they were arrested for disturbing the peace. I’ve got an idea. The next time they want to pull a stunt like that, why don't they go to the nearest open air drug market (found in any nearby large city) and lay down next to the dealers with a sign that says “Just Say NO!," or “Stop Drug Dealing Now.” That would certainly attract the police, and would-be buyers probably would be deterred from stopping by all the commotion. The protestors would deserve a citation for civic service instead of a criminal charge. Why do the anti-abortion activists expend so much energy on this issue, and express not one iota of concern about the wholesale slaughter of children and young people in the cities of our nation? Is it perhaps because the victims of the crack wars are largely disadvantaged minorities, and their lives are somehow seen as less important than those yet unborn? There’s a whole generation of children already living in our cities who are trapped in a living hell. They need help, not mindless platitudes and empty threats of increased law enforcement which have proven themselves useless over the span of the last generation. For my part, I’d be willing to donate a couple of cinder blocks and bicycle locks. Minefields loom in governor's race By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer People who play in the highstakes arena of gubernatorial politics must invariably try to tread lightly through minefields. Paul Trible found that out the hard way in the recently completed Republican gubernatorial primary when his 1987 decision not to seek , re-election to the U.S. Senate came back to haunt him with a vengeance. It wasn’t so much Sen. Trible’s quitting the Senate that bothered many fellow Republicans, but the way he did it. In a statewide broadcast he said he wanted to spend more time with his family, yet by the time his Senate term ended he was gearing up to run for governor. Some of the minefields faced by this year's gubernatorial candidates. Democrat L. Douglas Wilder and Republican J. Marshall Coleman are , beginning to surface. There is trouble in the coal mining region of southwest Virginia as a ' long and bitter strike by miners against the Pittson Coal Group, the state’s largest coal producer, contin• ues. Park's entrance fee waived on NPS birthday To commemorate the 73rd Anniversary of the National Park Service, Shenandoah National Park will be opening the gates and waiving the entrance fees for all visitors on Aug. 25, superintendent J.W. Wade announced. For that day, the public will have free access to Shenandoah National Park and all other Federal fee areas administered by the National Park Service. Created by an Act of Congress on Aug. 25, 1916, the National Park Service is entrusted with the mission of preserving and providing access to the Nation’s great natural and cultural treasures. The Park Service areas now number 343 and cover more than 60 million acres. For 73 years, the National Park Service has been charged with the mission of maintaining these areas and of preserving “the natural and historic objects and wildlife” in the parks while at the same time providing for enjoyment of these resources “by such manner and such means as will leave them unimpaired for the - enjoyment of future generations,” - an NPS, spokesman said. Shenandoah National Park, which was added to the system in 1935, is a Federal fee area to which ' the usual entrance fee is $5 for a seven-day stay. Shenandoah has become one of the most popular areas in the system and is visited by nearly two million people annually. > Shenandoah’s regular visitors and neighbors are cordially invited to ; join in this celebration and visit the Park for free on Aug. 25, Supt. . Wade said. Old Dominion Politics Gov. Gerald Baliles, who did well in that region in 1985, evoked the wrath of miners when he sent in more than a hundred state troopers to help keep order and to allow nonunion miners to safely cross picket lines. Lt. Gov. Wilder, who at first expressed doubt the extra troopers were needed, later defended the governor’s action. As a result, some miners angrily confronted him when he visited the region, alleging he had sold out their cause. Seeking to use the issue to his advantage, Coleman, in a speech to a graduating class of Southwest Virginia Community College, defended Gov. Baliles for his efforts to maintain law and order in the region and charged that Mr. Wilder had changed his mind for political expediency since he needs the help of the out-going governor. In every gubernatorial campaign such emotionally charged issues arise that draw intense media attention. Often the way candidates handle themselves is the key to victory or defeat. Some think Republican Wyatt Durrette was badly wounded four years ago when a couple of his top supporters made remarks about Mr. Wilder, who was then running for lieutenant-governor, that were interpreted in some circles as racist. Mr. Durrette today, with the benefit of hindsight, admits he should have acted more forcefully to defuse the issue. But he notes when someone is caught up in the volatility of a gubernatorial campaign with dozens of issues swirling around, “you sometimes seem to be on automatic pilot.” Don’t get mad... get even I —car pool RAPPAHANNOCK RAPIDAN COMMUTER SERVICES A FREE SERVICE for the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock, Virginia CALL 1-800-421-3060 or 703/825-2739 Mr. Coleman, during his unsuccessful bid for governor in 1981, when he was beaten by Democrat Charles S. Robb, spent his entire campaign trying to convince the conservative wing of the state GOP, headed by former Gov. Mills Godwin, that he wasn’t a closet liberal. The effort left a public impression he was waffling and certainly contributed to his defeat. When Linwood Hilton became the first Republican governor of the century by beating Democrat John S. Battle in 1969, Battle’s biggest problem was trying to patch things up with the liberal Henry Howell wing of his party. He wasn’t able to do it and the resulting disunity probably cost him the election. Gov. Godwin, himself, faced serious intra-party problems in 1973 when he ran for governor as a Republican after previously serving as a Democrat. His conversion was looked on with suspicion by many party regulars of the Holton mold who didn’t particularly like his strong conservatism. He narrowly beat Howell in that race, primarily because he was able to attract conservative Democrats to his candidacy. In any campaign there are real issues and there are issues that are borderline, running more toward form than substance. Certain the question of abortion rights-is a principal issue in the 1989 race. Add to that the issues of drug abuse, transportation, education, health and numerous others that have a direct impact on voters. Yet issues always arise that have, perhaps, more heat than substance. Coleman has already accused Wilder of owning slum property in Richmond and may inject other allegations against the Democrat that have been floated from time to time. The Wilder camp is reportedly considering dredging up some personal accusations that have been made against Coleman in the course of his long career in politics. The press, as it must, will dutifully report what the two candidates choose to make issues between them, be it abortion or something far less meaningful in terms of publicpolicy. And the reality remains with the campaign about to begin in earnest that whichever candidate is best able to cope with pitfalls and pratfalls that lie ahead will become Virginia’s governor one winters’s day next January. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is note an aide to 7th District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his oien.

I believe that Jesus was the very one he claimed to be. I also accept the reliability of the biblical record. Therefore, I accept Jesus as the very one the early church portrayed him to be. Their view of the claims of Jesus is consistent with the original intention of those claims. Nothing essential was lost in transmission. However, this does not hold for the myriad of translations into later languages and cultures. It is only by the faithful recovery of the biblical setting that we can make sense for our own time. This recovery effort of recent years is the main reason for so many new versions of the Bible. In spite of the many nuances overlooked throughout our history, the integrity of Jesus came through remarkably well. Jesus was the very first to address God as "Father." Moreover, he used the common household term abba to communicate his complete familiarity with the Lord of creation. His contemporaries were quite offended by this "innovation." But for Jesus this was the only natural relationship. He had no biological human father. Joseph and Mary came together only alter his birth. (Matt. 1:25) By her own admission Mary was a virgin at the time of conception. (Luke 1:34) Also, the answer to David's messianic riddle in Psalm 110:1 is that the Messiah will be David's Lord and David's son all at once. The early witnesses proclaimed Jesus as Lord. (Phil. 2:9-11) This is no mere status. In his life and death Jesus carried to completion his Father's wishes. In response, God raised him from the dead (Acts 13:30) and made him Lord and Messiah. (Acts 2:36) Part of the mystery of his person is that Jesus, who was with God before Creation (John 17:5) and who claimed equality with God (John 10:30), had to prove himself to be the one he claimed to be. Jesus was neither the ghost of God stalking the earth nor the overbearing superman. He was not merely like God nor merely like us. Jesus was fully human. Not only was God introduced into the human race; but the truly human came to our attention for the very first time. Jesus was the person we were all intended to be. Jesus was also the true reflection of the face of God. (Col 1:15) After all, we humans were created after God's image to begin with. (Gen. 1:27) Today Jesus is at God's right hand (Acts 2:33) until the consummation of history as we know it. (Ps. 110:1) Meanwhile, having reconnected us to God, Jesus has given us the Spirit of God to lead us through life. (John 16:7) The disciples lost nothing at his departure. In fact, they gained everything. To this day anyone who believes can become his disciple. There is life for all who acknowledge the claims of Jesus. However, I possess more than factual data about this person. Through faith in Jesus as Christ (Messiah) I am given the life of God’s Spirit, having been baptized into God's family.

Lottie Clatterbuck Lottie Ann Clatterbuck, 75, of Culpeper, Va., died August 21, at Carriage Hill Nursing Home in Fredericksburg. She was a native of Rappahannock County and had lived in Culpeper for many years. She was a member of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Survivors include three daughters, Mrs. Peggy Stanley, Mrs. Mary Smith, Mrs. Betty Smith, all of Culpeper; 8 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Florrine Knight of Manassas, Mrs. Jessie Jenkins of Culpeper; four brothers, Harry Fincham, Littleton Fincham, Meade Fincham, all of Culpeper and Reid Fincham of Brightwood, Va.; and a number of nieces and nephews. A funeral service was held at Clore Funeral Home chapel August , Elder Wayne Richards offiI dated. Interment was in Bethsaidia United Methodist Church Cemetery, Brightwood. Correction In last week’s story about the new courses being offered at RCHS, it was incorrectly stated that the Latin I class, taught by satellite, will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 5, when the county’s classes begin. It will actually begin on Monday, Aug. 28. The Rappahannock News regrets the error. It is the policy of the Rappahannock News to correct errors of substance and to clarify misleading articles promptly and prominently. To bring errors to the attention of the newspaper’s staff, call (703) 675-3338 and request to speak with the editor, Lou Hatter. Corrections and clarifications will normally be run, boxed, on page 3. Lion Continued from page 1 of the Rappahannock Lions, echoed that same attitude. “She was approved by an overwhelming majority of the club. My sentiment is that she’ll do a fine job.” Mrs. Pike and her husband Gary moved from Manassas to their stone rambler in Old Hollow 12 years ago. “We had relatives in Harrisonburg whom we visited regularly. One day we took Route 211, and when we came to the top of the hill outside of Amissville and saw that panoramic view I knew I had to live here,” Mrs. Pike recalled. She commutes 164 miles every day to Washington D.C. and a job as manager of accounting for the Optical Society of America. She leaves at a little after 4 a.m. for Arlington, where she drops off her car and picks up the Metro. In addition, every morning before going to her office she helps her friend, Jim, set up his snack bar in D.C. Jim is blind, and he is the main reason Cecelia Pike is a lion. Mrs. Pike used to run the Credit Union in the Patton office building in Crystal City and Jim had his stand in front of the building. The two grew to be friends, and Cecilia became his ex-officio financial advisor and bookkeeper. Then a year after the Pikes moved to Old Hollow, Cecelia in vited Jim to join them. Jim was already a member of a Lions Club in Northern Virginia and was welcomed enthusiastically by the Rappahannock branch. Mrs. Pike drove Jim to the Wednesday night meetings at the Comer Post restaurant for six years. Because women were not allowed in the Lions’ ranks at that time, she sat with the Lions’ wives, but she was always aware of what was going on. “I liked what the group stood for,” Pike said. Then two years ago when the rotary club was taken to court for discrimination on the basis of sex, exclusive male clubs throughout the , country changed their by-laws, allowing females to join. A month later Cecelia Pike was a Lion. “I didn’t join to prove a point or to be the first. I was already active with the group, so it only seemed natural fo me to join once I was allowed,” she said. This year she was asked to be president. “I knew if I was ever going to do it, this was the year. Our CECELIA PIKE secretary (Hugh Chrisman) and treasurer (Brian Johnson) had agreed to stay in office for an additional term, so I would have experience on my staff,” she said. “Being a woman president of a predominantly male club has never been an issue. The only time it’s brought up is when the guys try to give me a hard time. We joke around a lot but we all treat each other the same. ” Mrs. Pike realized that running one of Rappahannock’s most successful organizations would take a lot of hours and a lot of hard work. “But I find the time to do the things I really want to do,” she said. “Whether its making apple butter, picking up trash along Route 211 in a bright orange vest with the other Lions, or working with a blind bowling league in Northern Virginia every monday evening, if it’s important enough, I can find the time.” The Rappahannock Lions Club “is extremely successful financially,” Mrs. Pike noted. “We spend all the money we make, but we’re always looking for more causes to support. Most of what the club does is on an individual basis so we rely on the community to inform us of those who need our assistance. Right now, we are in the process of delivering a pair of eyeglasses to a ten-year-old girl and a new hearing aid is on its way to another county resident,” she reported. The club’s major source of revenue is its apple butter which the Lions make themselves. The apples come from fellow Lion George IrS ULTIMATE IN COOLING EFRaaSCK (See Ultimate Heating Efficiency.)

The Lions also have an auction in May; last year the proceeds from this paid for the new scoreboard in the high school’s new gymnasium. In addition, the club sets up a stand at most of the county’s bigger gatherings and sells nuts, brooms and light bulbs along with the apple butter. ‘This year at the Fourth of July celebration we made $275 which we gave to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, along with an additional $225. We made donations to the other fire departments in the county also, because they , always need it, especially this year after everyone took a financial beating from a soggy Fourth,” she added. With many county organizations faltering due to financial troubles, lack of interest and declining membership, the Rappahannock Lions Club remains strong, a testament to hard work and determination, according to its new president. But the Lions are by no means satisfied, she emphasized. “We need new blood to continue our success. This means more members, especially from the younger generation in Rappahannock. Any one interested in community service should drop by the School House Restaurant on a Wednesday night. We’d love to have them,” Mrs. Pike concluded. If you think you’re having a heart attack, think out loud.

Cooking with The un-traditional hamburger When we think of cookouts, one of the first meats to come to mind is hamburger. Hamburgers are simple, delicious and definitely a summertime tradition. But, there’s no reason why burgers should taste traditional. TVy spicing them up with a new recipe or two. And then to make sure those burgers are the best tasting ever, handle them with care. Joe Famularo, who wrote “The Joy of Grilling” (Barron’s Educational Series, Inc., 1988) says overhandling makes for tough burgers. To keep burgers juicy handle the beef as little as possible. Use your hands to gently shape the ground beef into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Don’t pack too densely. Generally speaking, about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of beef will yield about four 1/2 inch thick burgers. Higher fat cuts, like chuck or sirloin, make the juiciest burgers, but for weight-conscious cooks lean ground round is lowrer in calories. “The Joy of Grilling” recently won the prestigious International Association of Cooking Professionals award for the best special methods cookbook. Famularo says that if you rub the gnll with vegetable oil (use a paper napkin to spread it around) food will not stick to the grill. Or you could spray it with a Vegetable spray like PAM or Mazola. Just be sure to spray it on a cold grill and never, ever anywhere near a flame. Oiling the grill will also make it easier to clean. Famularo suggests scrubbing the grill — while it is still warm — with a wire brush after each use. “The biggest mistake, and I’m very serious about this, is that people put the meat on the fire before the fire is ready,” he says. “There should" be no flames and the charcoal should be pray and covered with ash,” he says. Famularo also feels most wouldbe barbecuers put too many coals on the fire. That is bad, because it contributes to flare-ups and those little flames, mostly caused by grease hitting the fire, cause foods to blacken and char. It is important for the meat to cook as evenly as possible with care taken not to have it burned black in one part and raw in another. Famularo likes to grill burgers in a wire basket. “Wire baskets are great; you can turn 6 to 8 of them at one time with a flick of the wrist,” he said. The baskets also keep the bur Holly Farms Grade A WHOLE FRYERS ► Grade A Self-Basting k 10-14 Lbs. Avg.

Some other burger tips: • When making burgers for a crowd, shape patties ahead. Arrange in single layer on tray and freeze uncovered just until firm. Remove from tray and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, pressing out as much air as possible, label and put in freezer. If plans are to make a stuffed burger recipe, do not add the stuffing until ready to grill. • Begin thawing burgers in the refrigerator the day before one plans to use them. Or defrost them in the microwave oven. Plan to use right after defrosting. Never thaw food on the kitchen counter — an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. • Always remember to wash hands before preparing foods. Wash hands and utensils after contact with raw meat. Wash cutting boards or other work-surfaces before reusing them; otherwise bacteria from raw food can spread to other foods.

Rappahannock Journal Trading Post outgrows all expectations By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Shops featuring authentic totem poles, hand-beaded skirts and feather headdresses are not uncommon in the Southwestern United States - but finding one in Rappahannock County is. The Trading Post, located on U.S. 211 just west of Washington, specializes in authentic American Indian artwork and crafts. “What we have here is an outlet for Indian artwork,” owner Bernice Myers said of her shop, a log cabin style building which houses “a pretty good representation of all tribes,” including wall hangings, pottery, clothing, cultural items and jewelry, ranging in price from $1 to several thousands of dollars. “There are not that many outlets for Indian art," Mrs. Myers said. “We are getting the pieces into the marketplace." And business is booming. Mrs. Myers had her first shop in the old Toll House, a few hundred yards west of the shop’s present site. - Unprepared for her immediate success, Mrs. Myers said she was surprised and pleased when the shop outgrew its first building in just 18 months. “I had never done anything like this in my life," she said of her business venture. She added that she doesn't think of the time she spends buying and selling as work, “but more of a way to help those in need. I had no idea that I would have a store" when she began collecting: In dian artifacts. Mrs. Myers became involved with buying Indian items through her work with the Famine Relief Fund, a non-profit charity operation founded by her husband, David. The couple, who live in Warrenton, have been active in helping poverty-stricken areas around the world. They were drawn finally to the Indian reservations of the American West, “where there is as much, if not more,” poverty than in many Third World countries, according to Mr. Myers. “Unemployment is 90 percent,” he said, on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. That was the destination of a great deal of work and supplies - vehicles, medical supplies, seeds, clothing, wood for burning and books for libraries — which have been provided through Famine Relief Fund activities. “We are trying to attract businesses to the area," Mr. Myers added, but the process has been slow and thus far TRADING POST OWNER Bernice Myers displays some of the crafts her shop outside Washington. Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie and clothing available at unsuccessful. Working on the theory that feeding a person one day means they will need to be fed again, but teaching them to feed themselves makes them more self-sufficient, the Fund began working toward setting up cottage industries on the reservation. Those small beginnings supplied work, income and also, most importantly, personal satisfaction to several thousand Native Americans, Mr. Myers explained. For many, it was their first experience with success. “We just wanted to create jobs for them,” he said, explaining the beginning of their buying trips to the Southwest and the origin of the Trading Post. “We would supply the marketing outlet.” “At first,” Mrs. Myers added, “it was just announced that Bernice Myers from Virginia was interested in buying goods.” She made trips to the reservations, to Indian fairs and pow-wows, nationwide meetings of Indians who gather for friendship, rituals, dance competitions and selling artifacts and crafts.

The Indians are familiar with her business, and know that she will pay well for superior work. Now, the Indians look forward to her' visits, and hei4 name is wellknowrt r “I thought I would try to sell the items to large department stores,” she said, explaining that when she began buying the Trading Post’s establishment was not in her mind. She soon learned, however, that large chain stores purchase their stock through their own buyers, and they were not interested in her wares. “But people would ask where I got the beautiful things I wore," she said, indicating her necklace and earrings. The jewelry and beaded clothing she often wore attracted people’s attention. Selling the stock herself seemed the only solution. “I didn’t know if it was going to work,” she remembered with a smile, thinking of her own hesitation about the venture. “But, I started to look around for the perfect spot. ” The old Toll House, about a~hSle west of Washington on U.S. 211, fit 3T(je Kappafjannocfe J^etos now offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00 - first sheet $2.00 - each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00 - first sheet $ 1.00 each additional sheet flTfje &appa!)annock Jfretosi Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 LAST CHANCE FOR Summer Savings At The Warrenton Farmer’s Co-op Garden Center!

The sarden center has a complete selection of annual & perennial plants, trees, shrubs and sround covers Member: Virginia Nurserymen’s Association WARRENTON FARMER’S CO-OP 143 WASHINGTON ST. WARRENTON 346-7100 her needs perfectly. The store proved accessible -- and popular — to local shoppers and tourists from early spring through the late fall. “It will be two years in October,” she said, and the business moved a few hundred yards east this past spring, having outgrown the Toll House. It’s now located on property formerly owned by Gibson Whorton, just in front of the Child Care and Learning Center. The new space offers much more parking, a larger interior space for display of the large variety of Indian goods, which change constantly as Mrs. Myers visits new reservations and meets new artists. This constant change in stock prevents her from offering a catalogue for mail orders. “What’s here one time may not be here again,” she said, adding that the stock moves fast. “The volume of people who do stop is amazing.” Her guest book contains the names and addresses of people from all across the United States, as well as around the world. But during the lean winter months, she still relies on her local customers. The store, however, is more than an East Coast outlet for American Indian arts and crafts. One of its drawing cards, and popular events, are the artists who visit the store for weekends of work and demonstrations. Those visits are one of the few things that the store does advertise. “Advertising costs money; money that could help an Indian family,” Mrs. Myers said of her low profile. She feels that her satisfied customers are her best advertising. And happy customers also advertise the artists — silversmiths, weavers, painters, sculptors, singers and dancers -- representing tribes and reservations from North Carolina to South Dakota, who offer a weekend of education for anyone who stops. Mrs. Myers’ one concession to publicity, a mailing list, lets her regular customers from as far away as New York know of upcoming visiting artists. “The Indians like coming here, and want to know when they can come back,” she said, adding that through the shop, both the Indians and the community benefit. “It’s educational for everyone.” Start school year with an eye exam The wonders of the world are often seen through the eyes of a child. Yet without good vision, a child’s ability to learn about the world is lessened. Vision problems affect one in 20 preschoolars and one in four school age children. “Just because your child doesn’t complain about his eyesight, you can’t assume that there aren’t any vision problems. Most children believe that the way they see is the way everyone sees — even if vision is blurred, double or through only one eye,” said Frank Carlomagno, Executive Director, National Society to Prevent Blindness-Virginia Affiliate. Some vision problems can be suspected from a child’s behavior and the appearance of the eyes. But the best way to find out if your child’s visiqp^ normal is through regular eye exams beginning at the age of three, Mr. Carlomagno added. Early treatment of children’s vi sion problems is important because it can provide children with added potential to develop normal learning ability, personality and adjustment in school. Because some eye conditions, if untreated, may worsen and become more difficult to correct later, here are some signs that can alert parents to possible eye trouble in their children: • Rubs eyes excessively. • Shuts or covers one eye, tilts head or thrusts head forward. • Has difficulty in reading or in other work requiring close use of the eyes. • Blinks more than usual or is irritable when doing close work. • Is unable to see distant things clearly. For more information on your child’s sight write to National Society to Prevent Blindness-Virginia Affiliate, 3820 Augusta Ave, Richmond, Virginia 23230 or call 804/3550773.

In our new game, Lucky Draw, you can mail in losing scratch-off tickets for a chance in our grand prize drawing. Lucky Draw works just like other instant games you already know. If you get three matching amounts, you’re a winner. Prizes range from free tickets to $5,000. But if you don’t win right away, with Lucky Draw you get a second chance. Simply write your name and address on the backs of losing Virginia Lottery tickets from any scratch-off game and mail them to us five at a time in a business envelope (4" x 91//). Single tickets and groups of two, three, or four don’t count. Entries must be postmarked by midnight Friday to be eligible for the drawings held the next day. Each Saturday beginning September 2, we’ll select five envelopes at random. The first three envelopes drawn will be $10,000 winners. The fourth and fifth envelopes drawn will qualify their owners as contestants in the monthly grand prize drawing for a million dollars, to be paid $50,000 a year for 20 years. We’ll also choose the names of lottery players at home, who could win up to $100,000 on our monthly half-hour TV show. For a chance in these drawings, mail groups of any five losing instant scratch-off tickets to: Second Chance Drawing, EO. Box C1988, Richmond, VA 23266-1988.

Proffer Continued from page 1 would have to be roadwork done. I’d rather have lots than trailers, but I don’t think that the road can handle it without some work.” “Surely there must be a better place to grade and gravel than the existing road” on the west side, planner John Clark asked. “It would be to your advantage to find another place — it’s going to wash out.” He noted that at some future time the county might have to take the road and improve it to state standards to make it part. of the state system. ‘The Warrenton (highway department) office said that if enough people were served by it, they would take it,” Mrs. Cloud replied. “But that would be an additional expense to the taxpayers,” Mr. Clark added. Mr. McCarthy suggested that if Mrs. Cloud were willing to forego family subdivision rights to the lots created in the parcel, the county might accept an increase in the number of lots to four. However, he added, due to the increase in traffic expected from the additional houses, the parcel should be served by a gravel road on a deeded right-ofway. If she insisted on entering the parcel from the west, the planners agreed, the right-of-way must be deeded and improved to the same Type II gravel road standard. Mrs. Cloud told the planners that arrangement was acceptable to her, and the recommendation for rezoning was passed to the Board of Supervisors unanimously. Mr. McCarthy noted that Mrs. Cloud must submit her formal proffer, in writing, to the supervisors before their Sept. 5 meeting in order for action to be taken on her application. Error leads to variance Sally Nash presented the planner with a request for a variance to the setback requirements for her home on Route 600, west of Sperryville. The variance is necessary, Mr. McCarthy explained, because her contractor had erred and placed her house too close to the lot line. The problem arose, contractor Sam Clifton explained, because the house was built in a conservation zone, which requires 100-foot setbacks. Accustomed to the 50-foot setbacks required in other zones, Mr. Clifton said, he didn’t check the building permit to see the increased setbacks necessary for the home. The error was discovered, Mr. McCarthy said, when the driveway to the home was constructed on land which a neighbor felt belonged to him. “When the road was relocated onto Ms. Nash’s property, it brought into question whether the house was too close to the property line.” No survey had been done on the property, and the exact boundary line was apparently not clear in all places. “I feel really stupid,” Mr. Clifton told the planners. I never ran into 100-fpot setbacks. It was my error . . . I took bearings from a peg. I was not aware of an additional piece of property wlflch impinged onto the Nash propejjy.” Mr. McCarthy said he saw several difficulties with Mr. Clifton’s suggestion that the county’s building inspector verify the setback compliance when he inspects the footers, normally during the first phase of construction. Quite often, he said, when the inspector arrives to look at the footers there is no one on the site. Contractors usually leave to do other wrork while aw’aiting footer inspections, since no additional work can be done at that point. And, he added, often the peg used to take bearings for the site cannot be easily found, and without that, the exact distance from the lot line to the house is impossible to ascertain accurately. Property plats, even if they were on display with the building permit, would be useless without some reference to land marks which could be easily located, Mr. McCarthy said. “I feel quite strongly that the, owner and contractor bear the responsibility for determining the setback requirements. It is too difficult and too much to expect from one inspector to do that.” Mr. McCarthy said he recognizes the problem of a precedent set by the commission’s ratification of Mr. Clifton’s mistake. “There must be demonstrable evidence that this was an honest mistake. That seems to be the case.” Mr. Massie, however questioned future cases. “When applications in general come before the commission, do we set a precedent for people who don’t read their building permit... I don’t know what more the county can do. It says right on the permit that the building is not to be located within 100 feet of the property line. And Mr. Clifton, where you signed it is less than one-half inch from that statement. I read your letter which says that you didn’t know about the setbacks. Then I read the permit, and it says right here, TOO foot setbacks’.” “It was an honest mistake,” Dr. Krebser added, “and it doesn’t affect the planning process.” The planners voted 4-1, with Mr. Massie opposed, to recommend to the BZA that Ms. Nash’s application for a variance be granted. Land use Continued from page 1 ginia’s farmers to keep their land in agricultural production. As development pressures increase, farmers see an increasing potential value in their land if it is sold for development. Most farmers could make far more money by selling the land and investing the proceeds than they can make farming — particularly as profit margins in farming decline. At the same time the farmer watches his profits drop, his yearly real estate tax bills reflect dramatically higher tax assessments which are based on that potential value - known as the fair market value. In an attempt to balance the state’s and localities’ need and desire to keep land open and in use for agricultural production, while not hobbling farmers with steep tax rates which do not reflect the true use of the land, in 1971 the Virginia General Assembly empow ered its localities to enact a system of land use taxation. That program provides for dramatically lower tax rates, subject to the restrictions outlined above. Rappahannock County first adopted the land use program in 1981. It first took effect with a new reassessment for the taxes due in 1982. In recent years, however, the program has come under increasing fire, especially in the rural counties like Rappahannock which circle metropolitian areas with skyrocketing land prices. Critics charge that land use has provided a de facto tax shelter for real estate speculators. The program’s detractors say that out-of-county investors often purchase tracts of open space and agricultural acreage with the intent of eventually developing them. In the meantime, they say, the speculators take advantage of the drastically lower tax rates afforded to such land by enrolling it in the land use program, then renting it out as farm land. The program’s supporters argue that the benefit to the county in the aesthetic quality of life here cannot be reduced to a price tag on lost tax revenues. Tourism, which is the second largest and fastest growing industry in the county, would fall precipitously if the agricultural, open space and forests were developed into subdivisions like those which dot the counties to the east. And, they add, one of the strongest threads of the county’s heritage is its traditional agricultural base. If that base is threatened by taxation, which forces farmers to sell their land, the county will lose its identity, they say. As the county’s officials debate the pros and cons of the issue, Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham has called for a county-wide survey to identify those non-resident owners of acreage enrolled in the land use program. The figures Rappahannock uses to appraise land for land use are supplied by SLEAC, the State Land Evaluation Advisory Council, in Blacksburg. This organization provides figures for the 78 jurisdictions which have chosen to adopt land use taxation. The figures are based on the productivity of the land, and Rappahannock’s figures are somewhat higher than those for surrounding counties. Rappahannock departs from SLEAC figures for forest land and for the poorest agricultural land. Land in the poorest three categories is lumped together and assessed at $250 per acre instead of the lowest rate allowed, which could be as low as $50 per acre. Rappahannock has also decided to treat orchard land the same as open agricultural land. The figures supplied by SLEAC for orchards are higher than those for regular agri cultural land, but Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors has decided not to make that distinction in assessing the land for tax purposes. The land use program has become increasingly popular with farmers over the years. In 1985, 948 parcels with a fair market value of $96.8 million and a land use value of $52 million were in the program. By 1987 that had increased to 1,092 parcels with a fair market value of $108 million and a land use value of $59.3 million. In 1988, following the last reassessment, there was a jump in fair market value of land in the program to $160.6 million, and the land use values also increased to $82.7 million. The increase in the number of parcels was less dramatic -- to 1,183. For the current budget year the number of parcels has increased to 1,224, with a fair market value of $169.7 million and the land use value of $88 million. Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors has indicated that it wants to take another look at the land use program when the next reassessment occurs, perhaps in 1991-92 to take effect with the taxes paid in the fall of 1992. One possibility being considered is limiting land use taxation to land in Agricultural and Forestal Districts, which is committed for a 10-year period, or land on which a permanent scenic easement has been donated, or open space land which is also committed to open space for a period of 10 years. Fauquier County went through the reassessment process this year and its supervisors considered making similar changes to their program, but ended up keeping general land use and adding a category for open space land which is included in Agricultural Districts. The open space assessments are expected to be higher than those for agricultural land, but will not depend on soil type or require that the land be actually farmed. Meanwhile, in Rappahannock County, the supervisors will have to decide what changes if any they want to make to the land use program in time for them to take effect with a new reassessment. The Planning Commission has established a committee to study the health and future of farming in the county. The results of that committee’s work could lead to recommendations to the supervisors for changes in the land use program. A rare find! 10.4 acres. Minutes from Ben Venue.

It reeks of fun, but there is also a serious note. Although the jokes fly, the work is important. We are intent on learning everything we can about the mountains, and the people who live there. And learn we do. We’ve visited with, to name a few: Sheldon Wimpfen, geologist: Dennis Wingfield, weather watcher; and Lyttelton Wood, forester. We went to the home of authors and historians Eileen and Darwin Lambert, where, after a mile hike, we chatted about the books they’ve wnitten, and of the Indians. We saw the Rappahannock County landfill with County Administrator John McCarthy. Our group went to see (and swim at) Lake Arrowhead, where we met Ronnie Good, the town manager of Luray. On Monday and Tuesday of the second week, the class split up into five groups, and each group spent time with a different person. We travelled to Little Washington to see Beverly Atkins, Commissioner of the Revenue, Attorney Doug Baumgardner, and Rappahcuinock News General Manager Barbara Burke and Editor Lou Hatter. (I was with Mr. Hatter. We had a pleasant time, and he asked me to write this article.) On Tuesday, we were split up again.

On Thursday the class was introduced to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. We’ve been under the excellent supervision and direction of high school teacher Jon Heddleston, affectionately known as “Mr. H.” Mr. Heddleston wrote and directed this program, especially made for Rappahannock County students, himself. Unfortunately, no Rappahannock students have chosen to attend this program this year, opting instead for another program in neighboring Culpeper County. The four counties represented by students in “The Mountains” program this summer are Accomack, Culpeper, Fauquier and Madision. We were driven to 29 different places in two weeks by our faithful bus driver, Mary Bailey. Some of the students’ opinions of the program were, “It’s good,” “I like it,” “I want to come back next year,” and “Weirdness is excellent” (okay, who put that one in?). They listed as their favorite activities: hiking up Stony Man Mountain, swimming at Lake Arrowhead and in the Rush River, and tjie perennial favorite, lunch! I think that Mr. Heddleston has done a wonderful job in teaching this program. As the daughter of a teacher, I can understand how much hard work he has put into this. I sincerely hope he will again present this program next year. Remodeled house on Rt. 211, adjacent to Hampton Inn. New electrical, new kitchen, new heat pump with central air conditioning.

In those cases, Mrs. Bowen said, it is not so much that the parents do anything terrible to the children, but that they do nothing at all. She has seen children with matted, filthy hair, their faces caked with mucous which no one wiped away. In such cases, often the children do not receive proper nutrition. Sometimes, they don’t attend school regularly. “That is real sad, when you think how rich this country is. And then you look at their sad faces.” But Mrs. Bowen has also seen the miraculous change in those children when they are placed in a home with caring foster parents who see to their needs. She told of visiting one foster home several days after children were placed there, and of not recognizing one of the youngsters. “It’s an amazing difference. With food, some rest, their basic needs, they bloom like little flowers.” The decision to remove children from a home where parents are not caring properly for their offspring is made by a Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court judge following a hearing. Usually, the petition for removal by Social Services is part of a criminal proceeding against one or both of the parents. The shortage of foster homes has also increased the burden on the already stretched staff in the county Social Services office. Since many children are in homes outside the county, travel time to visit those homes takes the department’s case workers away from other work they could do within Rappahannock. Mrs. Bowen acknowledged that the workload in her office is one of the reasons that so many children come under the care of■ Protective Services. “The understaffing means that prevention work is not being done,’’ getting to the families before the problems become so severe that the children must be removed. She said that is one of her goals as the department’s director — to increase its emphasis on prevention of abuse and neglect by education. And, she added, there are sometimes problems with both foster homes and with the children who are sent there. “There are horror stories, but we want to eliminate them. You can either emphasize the positive or the negative. You can see the glass as half empty — or half full. “I prefer to look at the positive,’’ Mrs. Bowen said, “and we have had some wonderful results.” Children are placed into foster care on a temporary basis, usually for a period of from several months to a year and a half.

OLREA Newbill Miller, Broker 703-675-3691 time, Social Services works with the child’s natural parents to try to change their behaviors so that the child can return. A final determination about whether to return the child to its parents is made by the Juvenile Court judge, with the recommendation of the Social Services staff and often outside counselors who have knowledge of the child, the family’s situation, or both. If the family is judged still not able to care for the child properly,, for whatever reason, then a perma-, nent adoptive home is sought. However, she added, that depends also on the age of the child. Recently, the department’s work with older teenagers has focused on teaching them the skills needed for independent living — so that they can become successful adults living on their own. Mrs. Bowen said there are no rigid requirements for foster families. “Basically, they’ve got to be' able to take care of the family! they’ve already got,” and take on an! additional responsibility without straining the family or its resources.' The department is in need of both black and white families, she added. Although matching the races of children and foster parents is not a policy, Mrs. Bowen said she feel$ that most children are generally more comfortable if placed with a family of their own race. Realizing that the foster home situation is one fraught with a lot of potential tension, she said, she is sensitive to any steps which can minimize or eliminate those possible difficulties. Applicants must have an interview with a Social Services staff member as well as a home study as part of the application process to become foster parents. “WeYe looking for stable, welladjusted folks who feel they can take care of extra kids who will need some attention,” Mrs. Bowen said. “The best foster parents are those who are tolerant of people and their differences and have some common sense. It doesn’t take a college degree to deal with kids —just some flexibility and a good head on your shoulders.” Residents interested in more information about becoming foster parents should cojitact the Rappahannock County Department of Social Sendees in Washington (6753313) or stop by the office on Gay St., next to the Rappahannock Med\ ical Center.
