Driver escapes serious injury in mountain plunge By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Charges are pending in last Wednesday’s crash of a dump truck on U.S. 211 west of Sperryville. Edward Eugene Jones, 23, of Staunton, received only minor injuries in a spectacular accident which sent his dump truck crashing through a guard rail and plunging an estimated 400 feet down the steep mountainside. Trooper H.A. Newlin, who investigated the accident, said that apparently the brakes on Mr. Jones’s 1979 Chevrolet dump truck overheated and he lost control of the truck as he descended the mountain from Thornton Gap. The truck, which was loaded with gravel, crashed through the guard rail on a lefthand curve about 1 1/2 miles east of Skyline Drive, just west of the spring. It careened down the steep embankment. See WRECK, p. 14 Without proffers, rezoning denied By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors denied Virginia Cloud’s application to rezone a 36.17 acre parcel from Agricultural and Conservation to Rural Residential but approved Alvin Henry’s application to rezone a 1.6acre parcel from Agricultural to General Commercial following public hearings Monday evening. When Mrs. Cloud’s application to rezone the property just offU.S. 211 west of Sperryville was brought to the Planning Commission in August, the planners approved it subject to proffers being signed that would limit the number of lots that could be placed on the property and specified that a deeded right-of-way be used to access the lots rather than the commom-use right-of-way that was being used. Mrs. Cloud did not sign the proffers, and on the recommendation of County Administrator John McCarthy, the supervisors, after postponing consideration of the application for a month, voted to deny the application. Mr. Henry’s application did come with proffers that would limit the use of the property. A long list of uses the property would not be used for was attached to the application. The property could not become a kennel, dry cleaners, or auto wrecking yard among other uses proscribed. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing Mr. Henry, pointed out that the property is clearly within the area the county’s comprehensive plan specifiesfor future commercial growth. The supervisors also voted approval for special exceptions for the Dombrowsky subdivision and the Ryan family subdivision, again following the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Earlier in the day the board had considered a request by Ruby Jenkins, owner and operator of the First Washington Museum, that the ,0 See REZONING, p. 14 Penalty sought for setback violations By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer s The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance from the zoning ordinance requirements for the location of Sally Nash’s house on Rt. 600 west of Sperryville. The board then voted to make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors to prevent such cases from arising in the future. The error in locating the house occurred when builder Sam Clifton assumed that the house would have to be set back 50 feet from any property line. In fact, in conservation zones a 100-foot setback is required, and the line between agriculturally zoned and conservation zoned land runs right through the building. The building permit,- which Mr. Clifton obtained, states that 100-foot set backs are required, but Mr. Clifton did not read the building permit. '^1* that SOP (standing operating procedure)?” BZA Chairman Lee Bird asked Mr. Clifton. .r ''“Generally, yes it is,” Mr. Clifton answered. “I don’t read the directions When I buy a VCR either.” “But VCR directions are in Japanese English, and this was standard English,” Mr. Bird rejoined. The BZA members tried to find ways of preventing a repeat of such situations and some sort of remedy between granting variances in such cases and .ordering the building removed. One suggestion was that the building inspector determine if setbacks were correct at the time footers are inspected. “My objection to that is not the additional duty,” County Administrator John McCarSee VARIANCE, p. 18 Stuart subdivision draws questions, hearing set By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After protests from the Washington’s Planning Commissioners that they had not had time to review the documents, the residents who plan to subdivide the Stuart property off Main Street behind the former Washington Cash Store agreed to a two week delay to allow publiccomment on the proposal. Partners Dean and Linda Morehouse, Susan and Robert Parrish, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch bought the property this past May after it was advertised for sale by the trustees holding a note for the owner, Bruce Corneal. They paid $245,000 for the 9.77 acre parcel. The buyers are all town residents, and five are active in the town’s government. Mr. Morehouse is the mayor, Mr. Lynch is a member of its town council, Mrs. Parrish is a planning commissioner and Mr. Parrish and Mr. O’Connell are members of the Architectural Review Board. The partners agreed to the two week delay only after an extended and sometimes heated discussion between them and the planners. Mr. Morehouse noted that the required notice to all adjoining landowners had been fulfilled, and under the provisions of the town’s subdivision ordinance the proposed division is “bv-right,” and requires no public hearing. The plans displayed by the partnership show a total of seven lots, of which six are at least 1.5 acres in size. They are zoned rural residential, w hich requires 1.5 acre lots served by town water. The seventh is a .41 acre parcel fronting on Main Street, which is zoned for mixed use. The plan also includes a road, entering the property on the west side from Blue Ridge Avenue. It would be built to Virginia Department of Transportation specifications, with an 18-foot pavement w idth on a 50-foot rightof-way. It will be called Stuart Street. Mr. Morehouse also noted that, because of poor soils See SUBDIVISION, p. 18 Disaster in Catlett Arundel Newspapers photo/Scott Ferrell LAST FRIDAY, RAILROAD INVESTIGATORS and clean-up crews begi^the process of righting the jackknifed cars of the Amtrak train which struck a fire truck near Catlett, killing two firefighters. See story, page 3. Chopper ban may not fly By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Planning Commission has recommended a proposed ordinance to regulate helicopter overflights of the town to the Town Council for passage. The ordinance would prohibit any overflights at altitudes lower than 300 feet, or landings by helicopters within the town limits. Exceptions are made for medical evacuation, law enforcement, utility line inspections and emergency landings. Any violators would be subject to fines of $1,000, and a jail term of up to 30 days, for each incident. Any landowner who permits overflights or landings in violation of the ordinance would be subject to a fine of between $100 and $300, and a jail term of up to 30 days. The ordinance also provides that the helicopter may be impounded by the Sheriffs Department until a collateral bond to ensure the violator’s appearance in court is posted! The ordinance, which was first proposed severalyears ago but not adopted, resurfaced after several recent helicopter landings on the vacant field behind the Washington Post Office by customers arriving for dinner at The Inn at Little Washington. But the ordinance may fly in the face of federal regulations governing air traffic, according to Fred Farrar, a spokesman at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington, D.C. Told of the proposed restrictions, Mr. Farrar replied, “I’m not a lawyer, but I would doubt that a town has the power to do that. The federal government has pre-eminence in that.” There are minimum altitude restrictions for fixedwing aircraft, Mr. Farrar explained, which require an alSee CHOPPER, p. 18

motet vM'i&/HSA NEWS Frora Across The State Catlett train crash leaves two dead Volunteer firefighters killed en route to fire call By BURKE DAVIS III and FRANCES BISHOPP Arundel Newspaper*Staff Writers An Amtrak passenger train slammed into a fire engine at a crossing between Catlett and Calverton in 'Fauquier County last Thursday night, killing two volunteer firefighters and injuring three others. About 150 passengers on the 17-car Aiqtrak New York-to-New Orleans Crescent were also injured. 'Mark Miller, 24, and Matt Smith, 22, both of Catlett, were killed when the locomotive struck their fire truck at about 7:40 p.m. as Wagon 7 roared over the steep rise of a private driveway and onto the tracks. Reports of witnesses indicate that both men were killed instantly. The train derailed, plowing up 475 feet of track, and four cars jackknifed, coming to rest perpendicular to the railbed. Amtak officials estimated the damage at $910,000. Nearly all passenger injuries were minor. There were 377 passengers on the train, according to conductor Fred Mungo’s headcount, and 21 Amtrak crew members. Of the 150 who were hurt, half required onLy first aid at the scene, and half were transported to area hospitals where all but a few were treated and released. Three volunteer firefighters who were seated in the back of the Catlett Fire and Rescue Department wagon were thrown clear and injured, two of them seriously. Ernest Colbert, 21, remains in serious condition at Fairfax Hospital. According to one source Colbert has yet to fully regain conciousness. "His eyes are open but he hasn't spoken,” this source said on Monday. “The doctors said it may be several days before they know anything.” Michael S. Kirk was released from Washington Hospital Center on “Saturday. Frank Herndon w as treated at Fauquier Hospital and released after three hours Thursday evening. The five men were dispatched at 7:28 p.m. to a car fire on property owned by H.K. and Ronald K. Farthing. As they raced southeast on Route 28 they overshot the Farthing driveway and turned Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Scott Ferrell PASSENGERS PITCHED IN after last Thursday’s accident to assist others from the crumpled wreckage. around in Calverton. Wagon 7 approached the drive the second time as other rescue workers — and friends — converged on the scene. Catlett fire chief Clyde Lomax had already crossed the tracks in his pickup. Catlett volunteers Tony Zopp, Hal Anderson and Lt. Raymond Shrock responded to the call in the depatment’s pumper, and they reached the crossing just as Wagon 7 returned. Jay McDevitt, a trauma technician with the Cedar Run Rescue Company, was returning from a different emergency call when he came up Route 28 behind Zopp and Shrock. “The wagon went up to Southern States and turned around and went back and that was when I got in the normal lane of traffic and followed them,” McDevitt said. “As I got closer I could see the tanker — it carries about 1,500 gallons of water — get down there. It made the right hand turn.” Chief Lomax had gone inside a house to report to the Fauquier County dispatcher that “I was on the scene and the fire was fully involved.” The call came in at 7:32 p.m. The men in the second fire wagon heard Lomax on the radio. “We were right there at the turn,” Zopp said. Zopp had grown up with Mark Miller, who was driving Wagon 7, and they were more than friends: “He was like my big brother.” Zopp is also close to Mark’s brother Nathan Miller, now a paid firefighter in Northern Virginia. “When they came back, Mark hesitated at the intersection. Mark,I’m sure, was being courteous to us, that’s just the type of person he was.” There was still light in the sky — it was not dark enough for the train’s head light to glow in the dark of the rural area. The steep incline of the drive and a slight rise in the railbed blocked the view up the tracks. There is also an embankment at the crossing and there was high brush along the right-of-way. “I just saw the train like it came out of the air and hit the wagon. I never saw the train until it was too late. We didn’t hear a horn or a whistle or anything, Zopp said. Zopp believes Miller and the others on Wagon 7 did not see the train either. See TRAIN, p. 15 Avtex injunction denied; daily tests ordered By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspaper! State Writer The state will be keeping a daily watch on Avtex Fibers of Front Royal, Inc. after a Richmond Circuit Court judge ruled last Wednesday not to grant the state a temporary injunction to shut down the rayon-manufacturing plant. While Avtex considers the decision a small victory, evidence is mounting that the company violated an agreement with the State Water Control Board to cease polluting the Shenandoah River. State attorneys worked to convince Circuit Court Judge T.J. Markow that PCBs coming from the Avtex plant are continuing to pollute the Shenandoah River. Their argument, however, was not sufficient to cause the judge to close the plant. “I can’t tie in continued operation with continued contamination,” said Markow. Instead Markow ordered daily monitoring of the plant’s outfalls 003 and 004, two of the possible sources of river contamination. According to state samples taken on September 1, PCBs — or polychlorinated biphenyls — were found in effluent from outfall 003. Samples also revealed PCBs throughout the plant’s rooftop as well as in soils near the loading dock at the polyester plant. Sludge scum from the plant’s aerobic digester, which the state said is representative of solids discharged from outfall 004, likewise indicated PCBs. In addition, the State Water Control Board reported “gross contamination of the wastewater treatment system.” Avtex’s star witness, Alan E. Rimer of Alliance Technology Corporation, refuted the state’s premise that 3.5 pounds of PCBs were being dumped into the river daily. If any PCBs are being discharged, said Rimer, the most that could possibly trickle out would be two-thousandths of a pound, an inconsequential amount. Much of Rimer’s testimony centered on a description of the wastewater treatment plant. The waste basins are designed to catch the solids, he explained, and PCBs would characteristically settle out before reaching the river. “Three truckloads of sediment would have to be dumped into the river to result in 3.5 pounds of PCBs,” said Rimer. Outfall 003, used primarily to discharge stormwater runoff and non-contact cooling water, has been diverted, according to Avtex attorney William Gardner. Markow prohibited Avtex from using outfall 003 for any purpose other that rainwater diversion from the roof until all PCBs have been cleared from the system. Avtex has until Oct. 18 to rid outfall 003 of PCBs. Although he said he was not convinced by the state that there were PCBs being discharged from 004, Markow clearly stated that he would not hesitate to shut down the plant if it is proven PCBs are continuing to pour into the river. “If there is any discharge out of 004, the plant is going to close,” stated Markow. “We’ll come in here on Sunday, holiday, whatever it takes, and shut it down.” Although the attorney general’s office did not get what it asked for, state officials were pleased with Markow’s decision. “He* [Markow] went to extraordinary step to insure that not an iota of PCBs will go into the river,” said R. Claire Guthrie, deputy attorney general. The conditions mandated by Markow will continue until Avtex, the state and Markow meet again on Wednesday, Nov 15, to determines whether or not the company has violated a consent decree signed with the state last fall. Avtex was found in violation of the consent decree at the end of June, but was excused from the $990,000 penalty if it ceased its pollution and made repairs.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5,1989 In memory of heroes We don’t usually think of our local fire and rescue volunteers as heroes. But last week, in neighboring Fauquier County, two members of the Catlett Volunteer Fire Department lost their lives when their fire truck was struck by an Amtrak passenger train. The firefighters were on their way to a fire, and apparently were not aware of the approaching train when they entered the railroad crossing. Mark Miller, 24, and Matthew Smith, 22, lost their lives in the service of their fellow men. They had left their homes and families, and perhaps their dinner table, to respond to a call for help. They certainly had no idea that they would not return home safely that evening. That is the danger inherent in the business of firefighting and rescue work. Much of the time it is routine and uneventful. But a disaster like the accident in Catlett last week causes all of us — whether we are volunteers or their families, neighbors and friends — to remember that the threat of iry ury and death hovers ever present, like a shadow, near those in the fire and rescue services. We know that the eulogies, tributes and the outpouring of support are small comforts to the families of firefighters Miller and Smith. Their fellow volunteers, as well, share the pain of the loss of two good and kind young men. They were family. Their pain and loss can never fully be repaid. But those two young men died in the service of their fellow men. The Bible teaches that there is no greater love, than to lay down your life in the service of your fellow men. They are heroes — in the truest sense of the word. Fire safety week Next week, Oct. 8-14, is Fire Prevention Week. It comes at an appropriate time, as we face cold weather and another winter heating season. It may sound like a womout record, but we urge residents to be careful with fire, in whatever its form. Whether it is a woodstove sending warmth through the home, or a kerosene heater warming a basement, such heat sources are responsible for scores of deaths and injuries each winter. The Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association, in an effort to raise the awareness of county residents to the dangers of fire, is sponsoring a Fire Prevention Day at RCHS on Saturday, Oct. 7. From 1-4 p.m. there will be equipment displays and demonstrations, fire safety information, and advice on how to make this winter fireproof. There will also be refreshments and activities for the children as well. We urge county residents to attend this worthwhile, and potentially lifesaving, event. r Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Lou Haber Rappahannock heritage ENORMOUS PUMPKINS ARE HARVESTED by eight-year-old Alexandra Leive of Sperryville. The largest, in front of her, weighs more than 100 pounds. ■ Letters to the editor Record belies GOP claims To the editor: In a letter to the editor in last week’s Rappahannock News, John Marocchi alleges that the Virginia budget has doubled in the two Democratic administrations of Governors Robb and Baliles, and that tax increases proposed by them have hurt Virginia, eroded its appeal as a low tax state, and scared off new jobs. As A1 Smith used to say, let’s look at the record. During the eight years of Governors Robb and Baliles, the budget increased 97 percent, reflecting a combination of factors such as population growth, inflation, federal cutbacks and increasing demands on the state government in many areas. However, during the Republican administrations of Godwin and Dalton in the 1970’s the budget grew 141 percent. Also, the budget growth that occurred during the period 1980-81 to 1988-89 was in areas of critical needs that were recognized as such by both parties. Four major needs accounted for 70 percent of the budget growth: education, 42 percent; transportation, 12 percent; medicaid, 10 percent; and corrections (jails and law enforcement), 6 percent. Virginia today is a low tax state. Taxes as a proportion of income are lower in Virginia now than they were 10 years ago. Virginia’s overall tax burden (state and local) ranks 38th in the nation. When only state taxes are considered, it ranks 40th. The Democrats’ transportation program, and the tax increases that funded it on a pay-as-you-go basis, will help Virginia meet present and future transportation needs that are NEARLY MISStD / IH n EDUCATION « EXPRESS J basic to its continued economic growth. Criticism by the other party on this point overlooks the fact that a majority of Republicans in the General Assembly voted for the transportation program and the tax increases that funded it. Finally, these facts bear on how employment has been “hurt” under Robb and Baliles: • In the past three years of Gov. Baliles’ term 300,000 jobs have been created in Virginia. • More jobs were created in ^he first year of Baliles’ term than ill all four years of Republican Gov. John Dalton’s term. • Today, Virginia is creating more new jobs per capita than any other state in the nation. • Umemployment is down to 3.3 percent in Virginia as of April 1989 — one of the lowest rates in the nation. By contrast, umemployment rose during the Dalton administration. These facts are merely a selection from a much larger number, all pointing to the same conclusion; namely, that Virginia’s budget, its tax structure, and its economic programs have been extraordinarily well managed for the past eight years under the leadership of Governors Robb and Baliles. Lt. Gov. Doug Wilder is a member of Gov. Baliles’ team, and has been endorsed by him and Sen. Robb as candidate for Governor. Before 1985, Lt. Gov. Wilder served a number of terms in the Virginia Senate where he was one of its most effective members. In short, he has the necessary experience to continue the Democrats highly successful administration of government in Virginia. A vote for Mr. Wilder and his running mates, Don Beyer and Mary Sue Terry, in November is clearly in the best interest of Virginia and all Virginians.

Pro-life hypocrisy 1 o the editor: The occasional letters to the editor by W. Michael Mahoney bring to your editorial page a welcome breath of reason, logic, and intelligence. Regarding abortion, I find it curious that many who argue from the moral position that abortion is the killing of an innocent human being, nevertheless would permit the procedure in the case of rape, incest, or the endangerment of the mother’s life. Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems to me that a fetus conceived in rape or incest is just as innocent as one conceived in any other circumstance. An abortion in these cases is surely no different in purpose from any other abortion; that is, it eleminates a fetus the mother does not want to bear, or eliminates the risk involved in childbirth. The ambivalance of this position leads me to suspect that the right-tolife movement is based to a large extend on the desire, not to protect the unborn, but to Dunish the nrofileate. I agree with Mr. Mahoney that the answers will not be simple. However, I have a suggestion for the interim, and while it is less than satisfactory, it might provide some relief for our politicians who are sb comically tap dancing around the issue: why not provide a box on every income tax form, wherein each citizen could indicate his position on abortion? Those who oppose abortion could then be assessed an additional threie or four thousand dollars, to be used for the delivery and care of unwanted babies. They would also, by checking this box, volunteer to adopt a child whose care could not be bought with the assessed funds. This same information could also be used as a referendum on the question, and our politicians would be spared the agony of having actuary to risk taking—or holding to—an unpopular position, based on conscience. 1 BILL FITZSIMONS Flint Hill Players' talents tremendous To the editor: Rappahannock is the most fortunate community in this area—perhaps in the state—fortunate in many ways: natural beauty, a concerned citizenry, and competent elected officials; all those fundamental qualities which contribute to the pleasure of living here. The other dimension which is a gift as unanticipated as the setting, is the talented people who have come to live among and to share with us their tremendous gifts. The Rappahannock Players’ production of The Lion in Winter surpasses anything which has been performed staged or costumed here. It is an artistic triumph. Because “comparison is odious,” elaboration is unnecessary except to say that the play itself is a “hit,” the cast is a miracle of the selective process and exjcellent direction combined with dedication and enormous energy;. “Amateur” is not an adjective easily attached to any aspect of this pol*ished production.

(Latest Mason Dixon poll brings mixed bag bf news for candidates Coleman, Wilder 3* %: By JOHN GOOLRICK if • Rappahannock New* Special Writer $;The latest Mason-Dixon poll, a &$pshot in time, shows Republican Marshall Coleman leading Democrat t$ouglas Wilder by six points in the ijie for governor. ;• I There is good and bad news in survey results for both candi;The Mason-Dixon poll is probaJy the most reliable conducted to ^tuge public opinion about Virginia Hblitics. In 1985 it was the first to reBact Wilder rapidly closing what had ramed an insurmountable lead by Republican John Chichester in the election for lieutenant-governor. _ The good news for Coleman is tl»at he is ahead in late September, evidence that there isn’t much lingering bitterness despite the hardfought three-way Republican gubernatorial primary that many regarded as a crap shoot. It tends to show that Republicans have rallied around their nomiIjpe and that Coleman is also getting ia substantial number of independents in his camp. The poll should heighten his ability to raise funds and to continue his television blasts against his opponent. It boosts the confidence of his supporters and campaign brain trust •And, with just six weeks to election day, pumps up the adrenalin in the candidate himself. ■ p ..■" . life Old uommion Politics I The good news for Wilder is that, despite a shaky start, despite a number of tactical errors in his campaign, he is just six points behind in a poll with a three point plus or minus error margin. And there are also a substantial number of undecided voters waiting to be persuaded. The poll will demonstrate to Wilder and his key advisors that the game is far from over and that if the campaign can be put on an even keel, victory will still be possible. Many observers think the Wilder organization is finally starting to jell and the campaign getting on track. Best of all, since six points is far from a commanding lead, the poll shouldn’t damage Wilder’s ability to attract contributions and shouldn’t excessively discourage the Democratic rank and file working for him in the trenches. The bad news for Coleman is, of course, that though he came out of the primary with a tested staff and organization, and Wilder appeared disorganized through much of the summer, his lead isn’t larger. It is far better at this stage to be ahead than behind, but it would be considerably better for a Republican to be even farther ahead in view of what has transpired. The bad news for Wilder is that while he came from much further behind than a mere six points four years ago, the circumstances then were radically different. In 1985, Wilder narrowly defeated Chichester though the Republican’s campaign was hurt by inner dissension, and the GOP candidates for governor and attorneygeneral got clobbered by their Democratic opponents. Not only that, but on election day heavy rains and flooding in one of the most Republican areas of the hurt kept down the turnout and may have cost Chichester the election. This year Wilder is at the top of the ticket and has no coattails other than his own to ride on. The incumbent governor, Gerald Baliles, is no match for his predecessor, Charles S. Robb, in transferring political popularity. For Coleman, however, at least one part of the Mason-Dixon poll could have ominous portents. When the positions of Wilder and Coleman on abortion were explained to selected voters, Coleman’s lead suddenly evaporated. And Wilder has launched hard-hitting television commercials that seek to exploit Coleman’s anti-choice position. The betting here is that the next Mason-Dixon poll, released around mid-October, will give an even better indication of where the race is heading. If Coleman still has a six-point or better lead at that time, it could be a clear sign the momentum is with him, and he is heading to a November win. But if his lead is three points or less, or Wilder takes the lead, it will demonstrate a serious, erosion of strength, or that the undecided voters are drifting to Wilder. In that event, the gubernatorial race will likely become a cliffhanger that hearkens back to the GodwinHowell race of 1973 when up until the eleventh hour it appeared Howell had won. In that instance, Howell had closed fast in the polls and nearly came out ahead on the only day when the poll that counts was taken.

Burke, Jr. Gid Brown Bible Church "A KNOW SO SALVATION" I John 5:10,13 My dear friend, do you know that you are going to heaven? The word of God teaches that we can know when we are saved. The words know and knoweth appear many times in the Epistle of I John. There are several reasons why many people don't know that they are saved. Some are seeking through works. Works will not save us. Ephesians 2:8,9 says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, least any man should boast" The law will not save. Romans 3:20 says, "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight for by the law is the knowledge of sin." So then, the law which is the word of God shows us that we are sinners in God's sight The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin through the preaching of the Word. Then we see the need to be saved and by faith receive Jesus as our personal savior. Acts 4:12 says, "neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Many people are trusting baptism and church membership to get them to heaven, but Jesus is the only way. (John 3:3-5) A lot of folks try to ignore the sin question, but Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Jesus says in Luke 13:3, "but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Many people believe assurance is not to be had in this life. Jesus says in John 5:24, "Verily, Verily, I say unto you. He that heareth my word, and believcth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not some into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." You can know that you are saved, if you have truly from the heart repented of sin and asked the Lord to forgive you of your sin and save you. If some one moved into your home with you, you will know it, and so will you know when He the Holy Spirit comes into your life. We can know by the witness of the spirit. (I John 5:10) "The spirit of God assures us that we are the children of God." (Rom. 8:16) The Word of God teaches that we know it in many scriptures. Read John 1:12; 3:16; 3:36; Rom. 10:13.1 John 5:13 says, "These things have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son Of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life; and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." There also will be a love for the brethren. In I John 3:14, "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." There comes a transformation of life and desires. The new life in Christ replaces the old life. Paul says in n Cor. 5:17, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Dear friend, do you know you are going to heaven? If not, do what the Bible says to do. Recognize your condition as a lost person. Repent of sin and believe the Word of God from the heart and call upon the Lord and He will save you. (Romans 10:13) Then be baptized and unite with a gospel preaching church. If I can be of any help to you, call me at 675-3662. May God bless you^s my prayer.

4-H youth for America 4-H, America’s largest informal educational program for boys and girls, annually reaches 4.5 million young people. 4-H members primarily between the ages of nine and 19 live in every demographic area — on the farm, in the city and in between. 4-H members become involved in a wide variety or practical real-life activities ranging from agriculture to aerospace, from communications to veterinary science. The 4-H mission is to help young people becom self-directing, productive and contributing members of society. The educational program helps boys and girls develop inquiring minds, learn practical skills, strengthen decision-making competency, improve communications and interpersonal relationships and ultimately to share their skills and experience in a leadership role. 4-H also is an adult education program involving more thann 600,000 volunteers. These volunteers not only contribute their time and talents but also receive training at the local, regional and national level to strengthen their skills and broaden their understanding of youth development. 4-H members and volunteers are comitted to community service. They become involved in work with local government, service to the elderly and handicapped, beautification of their community, conservation of natural resources, control of drug and substance abuse, juvenile justice systems and many other activities that reflect the American spirit of people helping people. The 4-H experience encourages individual freedom to grow. It creates a positive reinforcing and stimulating environment for youth to develop positive social skills and attitudes. 4-H members learn to work together with their peers and with adults as well. . 4-H is a family affair. Many volunteers are parents of 4-H members. The 4-H program encourages family involvement in the individual’s growth and in events and activities that build family unity and spirit. The 4-H idea goes far beyond our nation’s borders. Youth programs similar to 4-H exist in more than 80 countries on every continent. 4-H offers young people an opportunity to participate in international exchanges where they live and work with families in other lands. The international aspect of 4-H strenghtens America’s understanding of our global community. “i-H has done so much to mold our young people into fine citizens and has helped preserve many of the traditions that made this country great. ” Ronald Reagan Arts workshop at 4-H Center The Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center will offer a five-week Saturday morning workshop in creative movement and music for children ages 5-12. The workshop will be held at the Center from 9 a.m. to noon each Saturday beginning Oct. 21 and concluding on Nov. 18. Conducting the workshop will be Catherine Kiley, the Center’s artist in residence, who is a well-known writer, dancer and natural designer. Ms. Kiley lives in Rappahannock County and has conducted similar workshops there. She has been the resident artist at the Center since June 1989, through a grant with the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The cost of the workshop will be $45 for the five week session, and applications and registration forms or more information may be obtained by calling the Center’s Arts Office at (703) 635-9909, or writing: Children’s Workshop, 400 Harmony Hollow Rd., Front Royal, VA. 22630.

Updike takes fistfull of ribbons at state fair By HELEN W. SMITH Horn* Extension Agent Scott Updike, 10, of Washington, was a big winner at the Virginia State Fair this year, returning with ribbons in three categories of competition. The fifth-grader brought home a blue ribbon and the auction proceeds from his 1,261 pound Grand Champion market heifer. He also took the Reserve Champion trophy in the Slaughter Steer competition. He won a blue ribbon in the Swine Pair competition, as well as the First Herdsman in the swine class. Scotty’s market lamb and “pen of three” also took first place honors. Two other county 4-H members also brought home honors from the State Fair. Gregory Williams took seventh place in the Market Lamb competition, and Mary Beth Williams finished eighth in the Market Lamb judging. Agricultural Extension Agent Tommy Williams, who accompanied the county’s 4-H group to Richmond for the fair, said “Each year I say that the 4-H’ers cannot do any better than last year’s crop, and each year they prove me wrong by doing better. I am proud of all of them. “We’re especially proud of Scotty,” Mr. Williams said, “because of his enthusiasm and wide range of projects.” Scotty’s father and mother, Randall and Toni Updike, are both 4-H adult leaders, and accompanied the group to Richmond to show their animals. Approximately 1,000 of the state’s 126,000 4-H members participated in the variety of events and competitions at the Virginia State Fair. For more information about 4-H programs in Rappahannock County, contact the county Extension office in Washington (675-3619, 675-3776). 4-H works together with public education for life-long learning The Cooperative Extension system provides life-long learning to millions of Americans in all walks of life, from every social and economic level, cities and rural and in-between, from young people to our senior citizens; in short, to all Americans. Extension develops skills in practical, real life situations with minimal risk. The case for public education in our democratic society is strong, historic and essential. Federal, state and local governments created the largest, and by far most successful, practical out-of-school system of public education with the establishment of the Cooperative Extension Service in the Land-Grant University System. Extension’s focus on people, purpose and programs contributes immeasurably to the strength of this country. Its success in youth education, through 4-H, is well documented and world-renowned. The need for Extension’s help in supplementing the formal education provided by the schools is no less critical today than it was 80 years ago. The need for practical education for youth in the laboratory of real life is abundantly clear. The Extension program, including 4-H, must continue to exert a strong influence on the development of people, as well as on what people do or produce. The continuing education and development of all our people is crucial to the success of the nation. Publicly supported education is essential to the preservation of our democratic society. The public funding investment in education in both the laboratory of real life and in the classroom is essential. Both areas must be broad in scope; they cannot and should not be limited to one or a few specialized areas. 4-H is part of the public trust for education. 4-H focuses on the development of the whole child. 4-H has been, and continues to be, a primary force in education in American society. Programs for youth stem from a unique combination of the land-grant university system, public and private financial resources and youth and their families interacting to provide synergistic results. This combv-_ nation translates research into at curriculum of practical application for living. I; The informal educational role 4-H serve as an extension of the fot-s mal classroom education through thp] public school system. 4-H provides! the “hands on” practical application{ to the learning process by treating} experiences relevant to the real] world. » • J In 4-H, youth have the chance t£>j explore possible career fields. Teeng< can discover what they enjoy doing] and what their strengths and weak-* nesses are with minimal risk. Some identify career goals early in their 4H experience and build useful skills in that field. Others explore a variety pf careers and learn more about themselves in the process. “It seems likely that the greatest waste in contemporary education is the time children and youth spend outside of school without opportunities for constructive learning. This is a cause for serious concern: The current requirements for education are greater than in the past, and yet the largest sources of informal education are being closed out." Ralph W.

mm wwma Hi X9MI Helen w. smith Welcome dinner planned for new Extension agent In the spirit of community and fellowship which is such a part of life in Rappahannock, the county Extension office is planning a pot-luck supper to welcome Helen Smith, its new Home Extension Agent, to the county. The supper will be held at the picnic pavilion at the Rappahannock County Park on Saturday, Oct. 7, beginning at 6 p.m. The Extension office will furnish plates and cutlery, as well as drinks. Residents are asked to bring a covered dish. All are welcome. Mrs. Smith, 37, is a veteran of 14 years with the Virginia Extension Service, and has held home extension posts in Madison, Orange and Prince William counties. Her husband David is the assistant principal at Rappahannock County High School. She was graduated from Radford University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics Education. After serving a stint in Madison County, Mrs. Smith re turned to Virginia Tech to get her Masters degree in Adult Continuing Education. She assumes the post held previously by Sandra Richardson, who transferred to the Virginia Beach Extension office. Mrs. Smith will take over the coordination of the Home Extension programs, which includes the Extension Homemaker Clubs, Culinary Heart program, and other programs based on local needs. “Our educational programs are based on the needs within each county. We try to meet the needs of local families, especially those with two parents working outside the home.” Along with the traditional homemaker-oriented Extension programs, Mrs. Smith noted that services offered can include financial planning, nutrition and diet workshops, and assistance with child care. She added that specialists at Virginia Tech are also developing a home-based business project to assist entrepreneurs. “If there is interest and a need, that could be a possibility.” Mrs. Smith said that the Extension Service is also attempting to expand small farmers’ participation in the state’s network of Farmers’ Markets, which provide a central location for farm goods sales. As in the past, Mrs. Smith will share the oversight of the county’s 4H programs with Agricultural Extension Agent Tommy Williams. She said one of her first priorties is to organize the clubs for the coming year’s activities. And, she added, adult volunteers are needed to assist with the 4-H programs. “I’m very impressed with the 4H programs which I have seen so far,” she said. She called the programs “a valuable youth organization, which teaches kids a lot not only about the subjects they study, but also develops leadership skills, self-confidence and public speaking skills. “I’m really looking forward to working here,” Mrs. Smith said. “All the folks I’ve met have been really pleasant, and I’m looking forward to working with all of them.” Broad support required for success From its beginnings, 4-H has thrived because of the synergistic effect of the broad based support; funding from the federal, state and county governments; educational expertise from the land-grant university system; funding from corporations, businesses, foundations and individuals; time and talent from volunteers, alumni and 4-H members themselves. To weaken or discontinue any part of this support would be folly. The whole is far greater than parts — but every part is essential for success. Public funding is essential to 4-H and Cooperative Extension Service to provide the strong network of professional guidance in every county of our nation and to provide the professional leadership essential to continuity and progress. States and counties will be financially unable to shoulder the full costs of Cooperative Extension work if federal funding is cut, even if they are willing, because of similar budget cuts projected for other federalstate assistance programs. A gradual but terminal dismantling of a recognized and effective system will take place. This will have impacts far beyond the immediate elimination of many programs. At a time when funds for services are also being reduced, the need for such a federalist organization will be even greater. Private funding for 4-H remains strong and is growing steadily. This is because corporate executives, businessmen, foundation officials and others are sold on what 4-H does for kids. They consider 4-H a sound investment for the future of the private enterprise system and for the future of our democratic way of life. They know that the private-public partnership supporting 4-H is one of the most cost-effective in the nation — and moreover, it works! The success of 4-H as a dynamic program strongly influencing the future of our nation depends on this delicate partnership — the meshing of human and financial resources from the major corporations of America with the spirit and energies of a half million volunteers and 4.5 million 4-H members together with the professional guidance and knowledge base of the land-grant university system and U.S. Department of Agriculture. The private sector today donates approximately $40 million annuallly to support 4-H at the national, state and local levels. Through National 4H Council, some 1,800 corporations, foundations and organizations contribute funds that provide essential elements of motivation, incentives and training for both youth and volunteers. Numerous corporations sponsor scholarships to further 4-H members’ studies at the college level. The volunteer corps in 4-H — some 600,000 strong — is its real backbone and basic to the cost-effective delivery of practical educational experiences. For every hour spent by a professional Extension worker in 4-H, volunteers donate 10 hours of time. By conservative estimate, volunteers nationwide contribute some $1 billion annually in time, travel and support — far in excess of the total combined public and private dollars directly invested in 4-H. Volunteers not only give leadership to 4-H experiences for youth, they also keep the program relevant to local community needs and interest. While most volunteers serve in teaching roles, an increasing number are assuming broadened roles in middle management, service on boards and committees, as coordinators of events and in helping broaden the funding base for 4-H. The contributions of volunteers to 4-H is tremendous; however, 4-H does reciprocate. Volunteers receive the latest information, develop their own leadership skills and experience personal growth. The 45 million 4-H alumni form an important and invaluable support base to 4-H and Extension. Recent surveys of 4-H alumni have resulted in a flood of comments crediting the 4-H experience with having a strong influence on successful careers, achieving personal goals, strengthening family and community commitment and enhancing the quality of life. “As a i-H alumnus, I know U-H helps young men and women develop valuable skills, learn persoiw.1 responsibility,. and set realistic and meaningful goals. I personally believe in i-H and feel that private support must help expand its activities to reach more of our youth.” Melvin C.

Cooking with Meringues, though simple, still dazzle f or the pure dazziement ol your family and friends and the prettiest fall desserts, whip up a batch of light, airy meringue. By definition a meringue is a mixture of stiffly-beaten egg whites and granulated sugar. This simple confection can be easily worked into puffs, pie shells, and rounds and even dessert toppings. No one knows which clever cook first discovered meringue, but we do know that the name probably comes from the European town of Mehrinyghen where a 16th century pastry chef created memorable desserts from those simple ingredients. A Meringue shells filled with ice cream are thought to be Europe’s most popular dessert. The Swiss enjoy meringue shells filled with mounds of whipped cream. Americans not only enjoy shells filled with a variety of delectable fillings but also the dazzling air toppings for pies and puddings. Meringue begins with egg whites, which are beaten to incorporate air — first in large bubbles, then in countless tiny air cells. The liquid turns into a white foam, increasing seven or eight times in volume. The foam is a delicate mixture, though, and will return to liquid state quickly unless it is stabilized. This is why acidic ingredients, such as cream of tartar, vinegar, or lemon juice, are added before beating. Sugar also stabilizes the foam and turns it into a meringue. When heated, the air cells expand and the protein coagulates around them. There are two types of meringue, depending on the proportion of sugar and the method of baking or cooking. The soft marshmallow-type is most often used as a topping for pies. It can also be poached in milk as a dress-up for pudding or custard (called Floating Island). Hard or crisp meringue is the result of a higher ratio of sugar and longer, slower baking. Soft meringues on top of pies and puddings may be microwaved. Cook about one minute on high (100 percent) power for each egg white. The meringue is done when the point of aknife inserted^ horizontally into the side comes out clean. Hard meringues don’t work in a microwave because they will not dry and become crisp. Here are some tips for perfect meringues: USDA Choice Beef Family Pack SUN. MON.ITUES. WED. THUR.I FRI. SAT.

The volume tends to be lower with less crispness. ° • For highest volume, have the egg whites at room temperature. However, separate egg whites while , they are cold (There is less chance of yolks breaking). • Use a deep, clean metal or glass mixing bowl (no plastic), free of grease and soap and an electric i mixer, making sure beaters are clean and grease-free. • Beat egg whites to the foamy stage before adding cream of tartar. • Add sugar gradually in a fine steady stream or a tablespoon at a time when the egg whites have been beaten until they hold soft peaks for maximum volume. For a soft meringue use 2 tablespoons granulated sugar per egg white; for a hard meringue use 4-5 tablespoons sugar per' egg white. After sugar has been added, continue beating for 5 minutes. Rub a bit of meringue between thumb and forefinger to see if sugar is dissolved. • For hard meringues use clean, dry utensils when spreading or shaping. Line cookie sheets with foil, waxed paper, or unglazed brown paper for easier removal when baked. Bake at low temperature — 200 to 250 degrees. (If time allows, meringue can be left in a tumed-off oven to dry overnight). • Store baked meringue in airtight container so it doesn’t absorb moisture or odors. Meringues freeze beautifully. Never fail meringue pie topping 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons cold water 1/2 cup boiling water 3 egg whites dash of salt 6 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract In saucepan blend cornstarch and cold water.

Rappahannock Journal Greenfield featured on home tour The 33rd annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held Saturday and Sunday Oct. 21 and 22. Over the years this event, sponsored by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, has been a popular highlight of the fall season in Rappahannock County. Headquarters as in the past years will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington. Three homes will be open for viewing from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Block tickets will be on sale for $6 and for individual homes for $2.50; the former includes tea which will be served at Greenfield off U.S. 211 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. both afternoons. Box lunches will be available from the ladies of Washington First Baptist Church on both days at tour headquarters. In addition, offered for sale at the Parish Hall will be hundreds of dried flower arrangements prepared by the Bromfield Churchwomen, members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club and others with a flowery and artistic bent. Greenfield is located one mile west of Washington on the south .side of U.S. 211. The origins of the estate go back to a June 1735 grant by Lord Fairfax to Francis Browning, who built here and which house later burned down. It was rebuilt in 1820 by Willis Browning, of brick, now painted white, made on the estate. It is surrounded by several very old hickories, maples, walnuts as well as a large linden and gingko tree. Approximately 50 feet from the north entrance is a stile or carriage dock, one of the few still to be seen in the county. Here ladies could ride up to the stile, dismount easily from their horse or carriage and walk up to the lovely house to take part in the dances and other affairs for which Greenfield was famous. Owners and residents of Greenfield figured prominently in our history. Charles Browning (1749-1839) was a captain in the Revolution, another was a major who took part in actions at Valley Forge and Yorktown; during the Civil War General Butler of South Carlina and Colonel John S. Mosby spent time here. Justice George L. Browning of the Virginia Supreme Court was the last of Browning line to be bom here. Residents other than the Brownings included West, Menefee and Hicks, grandparents and greatgrandparents of many local residents. Headstones in a small family burial plot on the property memorialize these. Two windows in Trinity Church in Washington also commemorate Isabella West and Isabella Browning Lewis. In 1987 the property was bought by Ted and Renate Chapman, formerly of Bethesda, Maryland. Mr. Chapman w’ho is retired from the Export-Import Bank, is also the great grandson of William Chapman of Luray, who rode with Colonel Mosby. The Chapmans have continued the restoration of the house and outbuildings. The wide entrance hall on the west is bright and cheerful, the lovely plaster medallions on its high walls are again clear and sharp, the staircase walls are decorated with many drawings by Mrs. Chapman’s Viennese artist father Eugen Wagner. To the left and right of the entry hall are the living room and dining room, all with original heart pine flooring finished in a warm reddish Photos courtesy of Sean Kilpatrick GREENFIELD, ON U.S. 211 just west of Washington, was built in 1820 after the original home, built in the 1700s, burnt down. glow. Beyond is the porch, now closed in as a sitting or family room. Off the right of this is the kitchen wing which was added in the 1920’s. From the porch, to the right is the smoke house from which Federal troops helped themselves during the Civil War and the summer kitchen with its eight foot wide chimney from the rear of which extends an eight by ten foot oven with 18 inch walls. The latter is now' a guest house. Although the crinoline skirts and horsehair sofas are long gone it is easy to picture them in the halls and cool, high-ceilinged rooms of this stately old house. Greenfield claims no ghosts but it is easy to imagine the Brownings entertaining their neighbors here and welcoming Col. Mosby, who left his horse at the stile. Other houses on tour include Crestwood, north of Castleton on Rt. 618, and Grenelefe, south of Amissville on Rt. 642.

WARRENTON 347-7100 Stainer aims to broaden recycling participation' By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer October is Recycling Month. Rappahannock County Litter and Recycling Coordinator Nina Stamer wants to get the word out. “It’s time we educate people on recycling,” Mrs. Stamer said, adding that getting the word out begins in the classrooms but extends into the community through civic groups and private organizations. “We have so much garbage,” Mrs. Stamer said, explaining that once things were recycled as a way of life. “People used cloths instead of paper towels, there were no cans and glass was a valuable commodity. Now, everything is so disposable. “Our landfills are filling faster than we can provide new,” she said, adding that recycling items was one way to help alleviate the litter problem though with mass packaging and disposable products there remains no single way to solve the problem of too much garbage. Since Mrs. Stamer took the part-time position in March 1988 as county litter and recycling coordinator, paid for through a grant established by the Virginia Department of Waste Management, she has worked to establish a well-advertised and working recycling program through five community recycling days and through educative presentations before groups and school children. “Every community must meet a certain quota for recycling,” Mrs. Stamer said of the mandate handed down in 1988 by the General Assembly stating that each community have a coordinator and a viable recycling program. The county provided a location for a recycling center at the landfill and pays the attendant,; whose primary duties are operating the landfill. “Someone has to be there. A truck load of aluminum is worth a great deal of money,” Mrs. Stamersaid. County residents can take three colors of glass containers, green, clear and amber or brown to be recycled. “Glass is 100 percent recyclable,” Mrs. Stamer said with encouragement. The open shed also contains receptacles for all aluminum including pots, pans, lawn chairs, (stripped of all other materials), doors and foil. Those living in the Woodville and Castleton areas can recycle their items at Culpeper’s landfill, located on U.S. 522, between Salem and Culpeper. Mrs. Stamer said recyclers should make the gate attendant aware of their intent before they attempt to enter. Flint Hill and Huntly residents can use the recycling center located on the Front Royal airport road. Plastics can also be recycled at this site. The Amiss ville Volunteer Fire Department houses facilities for newspaper recycled at this site. “We need another location for recycling,” Mrs. Stamersaid, explaining that a more central location could encourage more participation. “The participation we have now is incredible,” she said, explaining that when the program started 35 homes recycled itmes and within five months the number had jumped to more than 100 homes participating. “But, we want more converts,” she added. Younger converts are her goal. “This October our focus is on kids,” Mrs. Stamer said. I Expand your home with a roomy, energyefficient Pella" sunroom.

SHERIDAN - MACMAHON, LTD., REALTORS 15 East Washington Street Middleburg, Virginia Telephone: 703-687-5588 Local Affiliate - Sotheby's International Realty Brokers of Record Paul and Ann MacMahon Experience proves pros, cons of electronic classroom By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer After a month of use, Rappahannock schools have found that the electronic classroom provides some wonderful opportunities for our high school students but also presents some problems. Ten Latin I students in ninth through eleventh grade are learning to read and speak Latin. “It’s really exciting doing something that not a lot of other students are doing,” Shannon Sause said. “I took the class because I wanted to get higher scores on SAT’s and get help with other languages, but it’s also fun.” A tape of the classroom demonstrated that Shannon was already reading Latin. “That’s remarkable,” Superintendant David Gangel said when the local facilitator Jeanne Grimes, Shannon and Grace Reynolds made a presentation about the class to the School Board. Ms Grimes noted that the students were learning a lot of vocabulary each night, but were not being taught much grammar except as it comes up naturally. “When I studied Latin we drilled on grammar constantly,” she said. “This class is not like that.” “I like it that it’s not hard to call and get help,” Grace said. Ms Grimes said that among the positives of the experience is that the students are able to study Latin this way and that they have an “opportunity to see a new face.” At the end of the first week, the students were assigned to send in autobiographies. The Latin teacher has used these autobiographies to become familiar with the students. At the end of the second week, Rappahannock students were spotlighted on the program. They placed a call to the teacher at the beginning of the program and she talked with each one on the air. “What’s it like having an older brother in your class?” she asked Grace. To Grace’s brother Jesse she said, “I see from your autobiography that one thing you hope to get out of this class is the chance to attend a toga party. Have you ever been to a toga party?” Jesse explained that his only experience with toga parties came from seeing “Animal House.” “I see in your autobiography that you say you’re the master of rap in Rappahannock County,” the teacher continued. “Why don’t you send me a rap in Latin?” She talked with each one about extra curricular activities or career interests. “They feel proud. They’re able to work with her. They feel comfortable with her,” Ms Grimes told the School Board. “One thing I’m hoping will come out of this is a sense of responsibility and independence,” she said. “They have to rely on her for the bulk of their information.” One disadvantage of the class has been in scheduling, Ms Grimes noted. She said she and her students were missing seven minutes of their third period classes. Teachers’ aides cover the end of her class, she said. She was arranging to tape the class, so students who had to stay in their third period classes to finish a test would be able to view the beginning of the Latin class on tape. Another problem she mentioned was a lack of feedback for the students. “They don’t haV$ any grades yet. They would like to have more grade feedback,” she said. Another problem comes because the television teacher can’t get feedback from the students. “When the students get bored or antsy, she can’t see that. I feel like a real barker in there sometimes,” she added. The other class brought to Rappahannock via the electronic classroom is Advanced Placement English. This class is a combination of great works of Western Civilization, survey of English literature such as students would get in academic senior English, and a college freshman composition course. The first week was spent in going over writing a paper using the “keyhole” method. The students were to write papers of five paragraphs with five sentences in each paragraph. The first paragraph would narrow down to a thesis statement, which the bqlk of the paper was supposed to prove. The next three paragraphs would support the thesis giving examples and pros and cons, and the final paragraph would begin with a restatement of the thesis, using other wording and continue with generalizations from that thesis. By the end of the first week students were expected to read “Oedipus Rex” and to turn in autobiographies. The second week started off with a bang when the teacher, Ms Gibson, announced that by Friday they should turn in a paper using the keyhole method that would “reflect your understanding of ‘Oedipus Rex’” and answer the question: “The search for personal identity and integration of personality is an important theme in ‘Oedipus Rex.’ Is the search to ‘Know Thyself essential to human dignity, or is it merely worthwhile, or is the cost too great?” . Ms Gibson then proceeded to use the rest of the week to talk, not about “Oedipus Rex,” except tangentially, but- about Jungian archetypes, the notion put forth by psychiatrist Carl Jung, that certain ideas are part of the “collective unconscious” of mankind. The students spent the week taking notes on the symbolism of colors and numbers, the yin yang, or union of opposites, hero sagas, the tree, the garden, the serpent, the good mother, the wicked mother and the soul mate, while trying to write their papers. By the beginning of the next week the students were supposed to read “Beowulf,” and the teacher started lecturing on “Oedipus Rex,” including introducing all the Greek mythology that is part of the background of the play. The six students in the class were told to go ahead and read selections from “The Canterbury Tales” from their literature book, and they were wondering whether to read that yet, in which case they would probably have to reread it when the teacher finally started lecturing on it, or to take the chance that she would throw a pop quiz at them if they waited to read it until she was ready to start talking about it. During this six-weeks period the course is also supposed to cover Shakespeare’s “King Lear” and the' Old Testament “Book of Job. ” Many of the classes feature students taking the course in otherschools in the state. Their pictures* are shown on the screen while the’ teacher tells something about them based on their autobiographies. Ms' Gibson is assisted on the program by; a Ms Worley, whose main purposeseems to be to grin into the camera. One day last week Ms Gibson* asked the students to call in and talk about which character in last summer’s popular movie “Dead Poets’ Society” demonstrated the classic hero saga. She waited quite a while, killing time on the set, until Rappahannock’s David Moser called in to comment. The next day David was - the featured student. Ms Worley also made some comments about the film. “Maybe Ms Worley isn’t as dumb as she looks,” Chris Moyles commented. For the six students in the AP English class, the course has meant a different scheduling challenge. The class is taught during the last half of fifth period and the first half of sixth period. Most have chosen to use the first half of fifth period as a study hall and the last half of sixth period to work on either the school newspaper or yearbook, giving up on the chance to take seven classes in the seven-period day. But Elizabeth Oliver was determined to take architectural drawing, which is only taught sixth period. So she goes to that class 20 minutes late. She said that hadn’t been much of a problem so far, “but we haven’t really started drawing projects yet.” She was concerned that she would have trouble keeping up with the drawing with only 26 minutes in class. Elizabeth was volunteered to tell the School Board about AP English. “The thrust of the class is to teach us to criticize literature in a way approved by the College Boards,” she said. “We will take the AP exams, and hopefully all will pass. Our teachers definitely have Wise County accents,” she concluded, using her own version of a Wise County accent. Laurel Van Horn, the facilitator for the AP English class, is enjoying her relationship with the students in the class. “It’s fun being their mentor rather than their teacher,” she said. She said she has also gotten ideas for things she wants to try with her academic senior English classes. She acknowledged that there are problems with the “articifiality of TV,” the forced cheerfulness of the teachers talking to a television camera without eye contact with the students, unable to see when they are turning the students off. But she is convinced that those six students are better off taking the class. “They are so far ahead of the other academic seniors, there is no way they wouldn’t be bored in the regular class.” Senior Karen Payne isn’t so sure. “I wish I was taking academic English,” she said. “There is no way to have a real class discussion. You just have to take her (Ms Gibson’s) word for it. I don’t like just taking someone’s word for it.” Rezoning Continued from page 1 museum be exempt from real estate taxes. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke explained that there are two ways a property can qualify for exemption. “The first way is to form a non-profit corporation organized to establish and maintain a museum,” he said. Another way is for the supervisors to hold a public hearing to establish that the museum meets all the criteria for a non-profit organization and then petition the finance committee of the General Assembly to have the building exempt. A bill would have to pass both houses of the assembly by a three-fourths vote, he said. The supervisors voted to have Mr. Luke draft a written reply to Miss Jenkins. The supervisors also heard from Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins about how personal property values are assessed on automobiles. Some taxpayers had complained that their personal property taxes had gone up although the rate had not been raised and their cars were a year older. Mrs. Atkins explained that this year she had received a list from the Division of Motor Vehicles that had cross-referenced all cars by vehicle identification number. With that information, she had been able to determine exactly what model car taxpayers owned and what extra features were included on the car. “Some people are up in their assessments,” she said. “We didn’t know they had all these extras on their cars. Some people, who have been giving us all the information, didn’t have an increase.” She said she had been trying to explain all of this to taxpayers who have called in to complain, “but a lot of people don’t listen. They don’t want to hear what you’re saying,” she added. The supervisors were informed that the county had received a Community Development Block Grant of up to $16,848 to conduct a study of substandard housing in the county. Mr. McCarthy said the next step would be to advertise for a consulting firm to conduct the study. Jackson District'Supervisor Ellis •Bingham asked, “Once we identify these facilities, do we go to PD 9 and have them start the block grant request?” Mr. McCarthy said that would be the procedure, but “that is a program that HUD has frozen for the moment.” “If you own your house and it’s in bad shape, you can get up to $25,000 to fix it up,” Col. Bingham said. “But a lot of landowners own rental properties, and they have never put anything into them. These properties should be on the bottom of the list,” he suggested. Mr. McCarthy disagreed. “If the renter was allowed to stay in the house with only a slight increase in the rent, the landowner would be eligible,” he said. “But if the tenant was thrown out, the money would have to be repaid. “Similarly, if it was owner-occupied and if you sell it within a certain number of years, the money would have to be repaid.” He explained that when the money was repaid, it could be used to rehabilitate another house. “The purpose of this program is to keep people in their homes,” he said. The supervisors also learned that the State Compensation Board has agreed to increase the Sheriffs Department budget by $11,000 for part time help. This will mean that the sheriff will be able to hire a cook, once the kitchen addition to the jail has been completed, and a part-time process server, Mr. McCarthy explained. The supervisors also voted for a resolution in support of the jail addition. That action was required in order for the county to receive reimbursement from the state for half the cost of the addition. Hie res| olution specified that the cost would not be over $200,000. In other action at Monday’s monthly meeting, the Board of Supervisors: • approved additional appropriations for the schools to use extra monies received from the Federal and state governments, to use monies collected for textbook rental, to use money from the auction of surplus goods, and a check from Potomac Edison to reimburse the system for damages due to a power surge to pay for refinishing the new gym floor. • learned that the construction trailer has been installed at the landfill for an office.

Train Continued from page 3 (Trooper Robert Cruey of the state police was the investigating officer. He filed a report based on interviews with Shrock that gave a slightly different version of events. After the turn in Calverton, ‘they overshot again by a few feet,” Cruey said Shrock told him. “He heard a whistle or an air horn,” Cruey said. “At first he thought it was another fire engine. He looked in his left side mirror and saw the train. He stated that he said to himself, ‘Oh, God, hurry or stop.’ ” Cruey said that Shrock, who could not be reached for comment, also said that Mark Miller and Matt Smith were looking southeast toward the fire as they crossed the tracks). “When the train hit I hurt all over, I hurt from my feet to the top of my head,” Zopp said. “I ached. I’m still hurting, I’m still hurting. I ache in pain and sorrow.” “My personal opinion was that every person on that truck was dead.” Zopp, Shrock and Anderson instantly jumped off their wagon. Flames leapt to the top of the Amtrak cars. Lomax had returned outside to his pickup. He was about one-half mile away from the private crossing. “At that point I saw the train. Then there were just balls and balls of fire running up the track. I didn’t think it would ever stop,” he said. Once the truck turned McDevitt could no longer see it. He was 1,000 feet away and he could not see the crossing. “All of a sudden I heard this tremendous boom, I saw the flames underneath the train. The first time I saw the train was then. Flames were shooting into the air also. “My ambulance was struck by some debris. I got over into the other lane and went into an area near a wooden fence because I figured if that train comes off the tracks I would put it in low gear and go right through the fence, get as far away as I can.” The Crescent’s engineer saw the truck approach the driveway and saw it turn in, according to Amtrak spokesperson Sue Martin. Amtrak “does not typically release the names of employees,” Ms. Martin said, but she was working Thursday night and related reports that when the engineer saw the truck he applied the brakes and sounded the air horn. The train, pulled by two engines, was travelling at 77 miles per hour, according to Ms. Martin. The locomotive cut Wagon 7 in two, carrying the rear of the vehicle hundreds of feet down the line, scattering debris on both sides of the railway bed before it derailed and plowed up 475 feet of track. The train crunched to a stop nearly 1,000 feet from the point of impact, with the red sheet metal of the fire engine’s body wrapped tightly around the front locomotive. The impact knocked loose and set afire Wagon 7’s 50-gallon fuel tank. Lt. Shrock gave orders to Anderson and Zopp. Shrock and Anderson operated the pumps while Zopp ran forward with the hose toward tank. “I took the nozzle up there and as soon as I got there I yelled, ‘charge it, charge, it, charge it’,” Zopp said. “And it was charged right away, it was right there.” They had only water to fight the fuel fire. Anderson went to get dry chemcials. Zopp turned the nozzle skyward and sprayed the water down like rain. Almost instantly after the crash, Jay McDevitt jumped from his ambulance and raced past Raymond Shrock, who was already operating the pumps on the second Catlett fire uronmn “They had already pulled the line,” McDevitt said. “These guys were quick. I mean they were real sharp. I ran past Raymmond and Tony was up there on the line. . . ” There was a fire under the train and there was a worse danger: Wagon 7s gas tank had been knocked loose and it was blazing. ‘Tony Zopp went with his gear on and actually kicked that tank away from the particular car,” McDevitt said, “and that probably saved a few people right there, I think.” Zopp went under the flames shooting up along the cars to get at the tank. “I got it away from the train, then we had to keep the train cooled down from the heat so it wouldn’t catch fire,” Zopp said. The leaking fuel spread fast down the line of cars. Passengers began to emerge and came toward it. Zopp yelled at them to stay back and doused the moving fire until it was out. While McDevitt helped Zopp extinguish the flames, Chief Lomax was calling the dispatcher. The call was logged at 7:37 —five minutes after Lomax reported that he had arrived at the car fire, nine minutes after the volunteers were dispatched. “I heard Clyde scream over the radio that his truck had been hit by a train,” Richard Sanders recalls. Sanders is assistant chief in Warrenton Co. 6, and president of the Fauquier Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association, and he was to direct emergency medical services at the accident site. Then Lomax called again at 7:40. He said the train had derailed, and we hauled freight,” Sanders said, and the 10 minutes it took to arrive at the scene “seemed like a lifetime.” Fauquier emergency services coordinator Chuck Thompson heard the calls and felt a chill. (Thompson supplied the times of all the calls). He too raced to the scene, barely beating Sanders there. Lt. Shrock took his men to help pull Amtrak passengers out of the wrecked train. Jay McDevitt had already gone down the track to extract passengers. “People were coming out like ants,” he said. Arthur Digges arrived within a few minutes of leaving his auto parts store and found Catlett chief Lomax. “Clyde and I and William Armstrong went up the track a couple of hundred yards looking for the front of the truck.” They were looking along the Route 28 side of the tracks. Digges did not hear sounds from the train, but he paid little attention. “I knew everybody on the fire truck. I was looking for the cab. We went up the track and we went back. Clyde said, ‘I just can’t go anymore.’ He was so close to the fellows and he just couldn’t take it anymore. It was more than he could stand.” Annette Craun, 24, a rescue lieutenant with Cedar Run, was among the first on the scene, as were Donald Mason, Melvin Jones, and Dottie Williams. Digges says that he borrowed a flashlight from Armstrong and crossed through the train to search the other side. “When I saw them I hollered for help. I came back through the train and hollered for help.” A state police officer heard him, Digges said, and led other people through the train. Lt. Craun said that “when I got to the scene Chief Lomax came up to me and said ‘Annette I can’t find my truck, and I can’t find my boys.” She pulled herself up the incline by grabbing onto the brush. She found the bodies and the three injured firefighters. “I grew up with these boys,” Lt. FAMILY MEMBERS SAY H fin<ll fflrcwcll to Mfltthcw Smith. Arundel Newspapers phipUft Scott Kerrell Craun said later. “I went to school with these boys, I trained with these boys and they are not just friends — they are family.” Among the volunteers responding to the all-out call for help was Mark Miller’s father Alvin Miller. He heard the call over the scanner and went to the firehouse. He saw his son’s car parked there. ‘They told me the train had hit the fire trutk and it just went through me,” the elder Miller said. “I was afraid of the worst. ” He arrived at the scene and asked if Mark was driving. “They would not let me close to the train. I realized I could not do anything and went on home.” When Chuck Thompson arrived — probably just before Zopp began his vigil — he wanted to put on gear and rescue people, but instead he took command and began putting a plan in operation. “It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life,” Thompson said. m CATLETT FIRE CHIEF Clyde Lomax (left) and Stan Mettinger Jr. embrace after Mark Miller’ s funeral.

The numbers were hard to find, and he couldn’t see in the train. He was put in charge of emergency medical operations. “I kept him glued to me,” Thompson said. Thompson was busy making decisions. “I couldn’t guess how many decisions I made that night. You put plan A into action, and if that doesn’t work, you try plan B.” Thompson turned his attention to the lounge car. Rescue workers were violating safety procedures by clambering up to pull out passengers. “Nearly every safety principle in the world was violated,” Thompson said. But “firefighters and police are trained to be aggressive in saving people.” Instead of trying to stop them, he put an alternative plan into action: shore up the car. They used what was at hand: the railroad ties ripped out and littered by the train. A Southern Railway official said “they couldn’t have done a better job,’’and a cave-in unit from Fairfax concurred. When the helicopter Lt. Craun had called in arrived it hovered over the remains of the crushed cab, throwing light but unable to land to transport the three injured firefighters to hospitals. Thompson and Sanders could not make radio contact. “It was the biggest frustration of the night,” Sanders said. They needed a landing site and I couldn’t talk to them. Their light was shining down, it was surreal.” It tooks two or three minutes to make contact and get the helicopter down, but “it seemed like forever.” He hurriedly charged Chief Fred Wines of The Plains with the task of communications officer. Sheriffs deputy Butler Grant and rescue worker Mary' Kay Anderson serv ed as public iformation officers. Fires started under the locomotive, w'here 2,600 gallons of diesel fuel spilled. Fred Mungo, the conductor, told Thompson the dining car stoves might be run on propane tanks, and Thompson feared an explosion. Then a fire started in the dining car. Both fires were put out quickly. The blazing array of lights flooded the wreck and the pastures around it, turning night to clay. Before long the line of fire trucks, ambulances and police vehicles lined Route 28 for a mile. Hundreds of rescue workers — Butler Grant estimates 250 — swarmed about their duties. Route 28 was blocked in both directions. Yellow police tape was strapped at the road, at the train tracks, the command center Thompson set up across from the jackknifed cars, across a pasture where the injured were tended to. Helicopters dropped thudding out of the dark into the next field. Rescue workers tore down part of a fence between the fields and carried the injured, some strappd to stetchers, to the helicopters which flew them to area hospitals, including Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier. Ambulances carried more. Thompson had heavy Army helicopters standing by, “but we didn’t need them, thank God.” Fauquier County school buses shuttled the passengers to nearby H. M. Pearson Elementary School. Southern Railway cranes arrived, ready to right the cars. Amtrak detoured train traffic and brought in charter buses to take passengers from Pearson Elementary to Washington, to area hotels, and to a few destination points south. Marylander Charles Watts asked a state trooper, “Is there a place here to rent a car?” The cop gave him a look. “How about a taxi?” Watts asked. "You’re iray out." the trooper said as he turned away to needier people. Thompson ordered that nothing be moved without his permission, to ensure an accurate investigation. At first he was reluctant to move the bodies, but Thompson decided changing again from one plan to another — that the emotional toll was too great. He sent the Catlett rescue workers home. Tony Zopp left his post by Mark Miller's side. “They wanted everybody to leave," he said. Although most passengers were gone by the early hours of Oct. 29, operations kept Thompson and Sanders — and many others — on.’ the Scene long into Friday. Th mpd son arrived home at 7MU p.m. Fri-; day; when Sanders arrived in Warrenton about the same time, another call put him back on duty. “The rescue response people were remarkable," Zopp said. "They did everything in their power. You couldn’t ask for more help." ; Passengers uniformly agreed. “I think the local people are fantastic, said Jane Rail of Charlottesville. “They’re saying they want to give us a medal," Zopp said. “They should give the five guys on that truck a medal, all of them." And Zopp said that "Mark's first concern was for safety, that was the first thing that would come out of his mouth when he came off the truck. He always put himself last. He would look out for everyone else’s safety before he would take care ofhimself. I “He was the best person 1 everknew. There’s going to be a vacant! spot in my heart that will never be! filled. I know Mark would want me) to keep on firefighting. I’m goingback on that truck as soon as I get a chance to get on one." 1 Tony Zopp has been with the! Catlett company a little over one.' year.

Photo courtesy of Dr. William Young THE ROYAL FAMILY gathers to hear the pronouncements of King Henry (left), in “The Lion in Winter.” 'Lion' an artistic, technical marvel By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When the lights went down on opening night of “The Lion In Winter” last Friday night, the Gay St. Theatre stage was darkened and empty after several hours of professional action. “TK<£ Lion In Winter,” performed by the Rappahannock Players, is a two act fictional play about the very real King Henry II of England. The story opens at Christmastime, as Henry II plans to announce which of his three spoiled sons will gain possession of his crown, his land and the beautiful girl, upon his death. Henry’s youngest son, John Lacklander, played by Jody Carbone, steals the show with his whimsical ways — a spoiled sixteen-yearold prince who deserves both love and the resounding echo of a good paddling — but none of what his father has to bequeath. Henry’s middle son, Geoffrey, played by Sam Clifton, plots carefully around his estranged mother, his hated father and his gullable brothers for his ow®, success. He does not want his father’s crown, real estate or women — or does he? But the eldest, Richard the Lionhearted, does. Howard Coon creates Richard’s drive for personal success and vindication with professional perfection. Again, as with John, the eldest prince deserves tenderness with a good scolding. The women, Dinah Pehrson-Day playing Eleanor of Aquitaine — mother of the three immature boys and wife to the aging Henry — and Cynthia Norris playing Richard’s betrothed yet Henry’s true love and lover, Alais Capet, compete for the love of one man, Henry II. And Henry II, played by Stephen Hostetter, when he’s not on stage denying his son a bride, birthright or honesty, he’s creating havoc with his various loves and lovers. But, Stephen Hostetter did more for this tragic yet comic tale which explores man’s greed, deceit and ultimately brotherhood. Hostetter created Henry’s castle. A Castleton cabinetmaker, Hos tetter said “Lion in Winter” was his first major set production. And nugor it is. The set is composed of three pieces — each 10 feet in height. It is glamorized with the rich golden colors of drapes and the finely woven costume produced by Sam’s “Sew’ers.” Beneath a single archway — four feet long and 10 feet high on a plywood base — the royal blue of Eleanor’s gowns sway, the rustic brown of Henry’s robe stand with dignity and the soft colors of Alais blend creating an authentic 12th century castle atmosphere. This castle’s arch is wood — a Philippine mahogany plywood — supported by four six inch PVC plastic drain pipes. “It was interesting work,” Hostetter said of the three weeks of work dedicated to this project. “It’s the first time I’ve ever done carved arches” like the ones used on stage, he said. Hostetter was forced to create the arches on his own. The script includes an overhead plan of the set with an inadequate list of props but due to differences in stages and sets, no dimensions were included. Waldron O’Connor designed the set to fit the Gay Street stage. Under his directions and Hostetter’s own experience, Hostetter set to work to produce the three flats. Besides the arch, the other two flats — again, made from Philippine Mahogany plywood and drain pipe — were 10 feet in height and created what Hostetter calls “a rectangle with a hunk taken out.” The pie piece, with three sides each viewable at some time during the production, is a quarter circle shape nine feet by seven feet. The 1shaped section, again, with all sides viewable at some time, was roughly eight feet by seven feet. The entire production was painted to look a very authentic castle stone. Hostetter explained that ex-Rappahannock artist Linda Heimstra supervised set painting. A decorative artist, presently living in Northern Virginia, Heimstra returned to Rappahannock to work with a crew for 4* 'Country living' m^^ir^inia PENDRUID A picturesque 25 acre Rappahannock County grazing farm with 19th century center hall, three bedroom clapboard farmhouse with English basement, five fireplaces, tree lined drive, small barn, spring-fed stream, mountain views and access to the Thornton River.

Painted piece by piece, the set was built piece by piece and moved to the stage in the back of Hostetter’s truck. “I had to do the flats on stage because they were so large I would never have been able to move them” to the theater, he explained. The two larger pieces were on rollers and Hostetter said, “in actuality there were not that heavy.” He said actual assembly was not that complicated, needing “a day or day-and-a-half.” The cabinetmaker said there is “certain knack to moving the pieces” and the able crew caught on fast. With nine scenes, set movement is a major part of the entire production. “The set crew showed up the last week of rehearsal and learned how to do it,” Hostetter said of the crew, Chris and John Moyles, David Mosher, Timothy Mahoney and Sarah Shorter. As the lights went down on stage between each scene, a faint glimmer flickered on stage and five darkened crew members appear to move the huge castle walls into place. Hanging curtains and dropping tapestries or pushing the huge walls into position, Hostetter said the crew was often ready before the players. The Rappahannock Players’ production of “The Lion in Whiter’’ will continue this weekend, with performances on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 6 and 7, at the Gay St. Theatre in Washington. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $7.50. For more information, call the RAAC office (675-3193). Subdivision Continued from page 1 in part of the parcel, to meet Health Department regulations the septic system drainfields for two of the lots will have to be located on adjoining parcels. The division, according to Mr. Morehouse, would give three of the 1.5 acre lots to Mr. and Mrs. Parrish and three of the 1.5 acre lots and the .41 acre parcel to Messrs. Lynch and O’Connell. Mr. Morehouse would receive a 37-foot strip of road frontage along Main Street, which he plans to add to his property through a bound1 ary adjustment. He said that the intent of the subdivision was to allow the partnership to be divided up, “so that the partners can use them for their own benefit.” With the land advertised in the Rappahannock News early this year for a trustee’s sale, Mr. Morehouse told the planners, the partners decided to buy the property “to protect ourselves and the town.” Chairman William Wickens told the partners that he had not received the plans until the day before the meeting, Sept. 25, and had not had time to properly study them. “I don’t want to be in the position of voting on plans the very first night we see them.” “I don’t either,” commissioner Mitzie Young added. “If you can’t hear it tonight,” Mr. Morehouse replied, “then I request that any subdivision henceforth be treated the same . . . We have bent over backwards to meet every possible letter of the law. I feel aggrieved in this matter — we have gone through such details to make it a good subdivision. “We could,” Mr. Morehouse added, “have done a lot line adjustment and divided the property up and been done with it. ” Mr. Morehouse said that only the lots created by the subdivision will be allowed to use the road, and the right-of-way will be controlled by the Mr. and Mrs. Parrish, who own the house on the opposite side. “It was designed that way intentionally.” The Planning Commission will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. at the courthouse to hear comments on the proposed subdivision. Chopper Continued from page 1 titude of at least 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 2,000 feet of the aircraft in congested areas, and at least 500 feet over open areas. The general regulation also states that aircraft shall be operated at a sufficient height to allow an emergency landing without posing an undue hazard to those on the ground, he continued. However, the spokesman added, the next section of the regulation contains an exemption for helicopters, which states, in Mr. Farrar’s words, “Helicopters may be operated at less than the minimum altitudes if the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface. “The FAA places no restrictions on how low a helicopter may fly,” Mr. Farrar added, “because to do so would dilute its unique capabilities.” Washington’s ordinance, which was recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission, will be considered by the Town Council at its meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 11. Variance Continued from page 1 thy said. “If more hours were required, we could charge more for the building permit. But, in some cases, there is no way he can find the line.” He pointed out that if the county* s building inspector approved the location of a house that was later found to be in violation of setback requirements “the county would be liable.” Another suggestion, that new surveys be required, was also rejected. In most cases lending institutions require surveys, but modern surveying techniques don’t always leave a clear line. “If a fine were based on a percentage of the appraised value of what was done, people would start paying attention,” member Sid Gottleib suggested. “I feel strongly that a law on the books that is never enforced is very bad. It detracts from the whole ordinance.” Mr. Clifton pointed out that an owner who wanted to locate a house closer than setbacks would allow could just consider the fine part of the building cost. He said that if he had known 100-foot setbacks were required, he would have preferred locating the house further down the hill, since jt would have been easier to get to the site. “But the view wouldn’t have been as spectacular,” Ms. Nash said. After further discussion the BZA decided that they could find in the case of the Nash house that enforcement of the ordinance would place a severe hardship on 'the applicant, that the hardship was not shared generally by surrounding prop SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY & Environs LITTLE WASHINGTON Area: Horse or cattle farm, 15 acres rolling meadow, panoramic Mt.
