The shot, according to public, health nurse Marion Facchina, is particularly recommended for the elderly, children with exposure to groups of other children, and any adult (health workers, for example) who is exposed to many people, particularly those who are ill. The cost of the shot varies on a sliding scale based on income. For more information, or to make an appointment, call the Health Department (675-3516). Polling place relocates On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 7, the residents of Hampton District will vote at the Washington Fire Hall rather than the long-time location at the county courthouse. According to election officials, the move was made to ensure easy access for handicapped residents, and also to accomodate the expanding needs of the J50lt officials for some additional space. The polls will be open from 6 a m. until 7 p.m. on Nov. 7. RCES Book Fair The Rappahannock County Elementary School library will hold its annual Book Fair from Oct. 26 through Nov. 1.

Skies should clear by Sunday, with windy = conditions and temperatures in the high 50s. Nighttime lows will hover near 40. Fall leaf watch Leaf colors should reach their peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains this weekend, according to reports from the Shenandoah National Park and the George Washington National Forest. Naturalists say that the pattern of color change has been abnormal this year, with trees in the southern part of the state changing faster. But the display is spectacular all along the mountains, and the experts are predicting that the wet weather may mean the colors will last longer than usual -- perhaps through the end of the month. Turney journeys to Washington Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter FIRST WASHINGTON'S MUSEUM will be the focus of Ed Turney’s story about Washington, which will appear on WJLA-TV, Channel 7 on Thursday, Oct. 19 on the 5:30 p.m. newscast. Mr. Turney, center, spent several hours Tuesday interviewing Miss Ruby Jenkins, the museum’s curator. * 'Agreement in principle' reached for lots split by town boundary By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer With communication eased by the presence of two members of the county’s Board of Supervisors, Washington’s Town Council agreed last week to a solution for owners of lots cut by the town’s boundary. The problem has vexed the council and the supervisors for months, since town resident Claybert Smoot asked that something be done to allow him to create a building lot from a parcel he owns on the town’s northern boundary. According to Mr. Smoot, a boundary adjustment made in 1984 “robbed” him of enough land within the town to satisfy the minimum acreage requirement for a building lot. The town and county established a joint committee to study the problem, and found that the biggest problem was crafting a solution which could be applied equally around the town’s boundary. An adjustment of the town boundary to conform to lot lines would be difficult, the committee concluded, since some property owners would perfer to be wholly within the town and other might opt to become county residents. In addition, the county feared that such a precedent might cause problems later in other areas. Particularly, County Administrator John McCarthy pointed out, there are a large number of parcels along the Culpeper-Rappahannock County See BOUNDARY, p. 18 Town subdivision wins approval By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Planning Commission granted preliminary approval for the subdivision of the former Stuart property behind the Washington Cash Store. The approval came after a twohour review of the town’s subdivision ordinance at a special meeting on Oct. 10, and a public hearing at which only one town resident spoke. The approval was delayed from the commisssion’s regular September meeting when several commissioners protested that they had not reviewed the documentation for the project. The property is owned by LOMP Joint Venture, a partnership of town residents who purchased the property earlier this year when the mortgage was foreclosed on former owner Bruce Corneal. The partnership, which paid $335,000 for the 9.77 acre parcel, includes Dean and Linda Morehouse, Robert and Susan Parrish, and Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, the owners of The Inn at Little Washington. They presented a plat which would subdivide the property into seven lots, six of which are at least 1.5 acres, and the seventh of .41 acres. The partnership, according to Mr. Morehouse, plans to divide up the subdivided parcels among the partners and disolve the venture. Its sole purpose, he told the planners when he presented the project at the September meeting, was to prevent an outside interest from acquiring the property and developing it without concern for the welfare of the Town of Washington. Town resident Diane Bruce urged the Planning Commission to approve the application. She called the project, “about the best we could hope for,” and noted that the principals involved are all residents who care personally about preserving the town. Commission Chairman William See SUBDIVISION, p. 18 Directors seek to boost community's participation in RAAC's activities By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Kay Robertson, the new Director of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), and the new Assistant Director Jo Ellen McNeal have jumped into the job of spreading the word about the organization. “We want to reach out farther into the community and bring RAAC’s presence,” Mrs. Robertson said. “A lot of people don’t know RAAC exists. We haye the only movie theater in four counties,” she pointed out, mentioning that Warren, Fauquier and Madison counties, though their populations are significantly larger, have no movie theaters. “We can’t compete with Culpeper,” Mrs. Robertson said, and its three first-run theaters. She explained that it is often several months before a movie becomes available for the 16 mm projection equipment RAAC uses, usually about the same time the movie becomes available for video rental. At $3 for adults and $2 for students, RAAC’s prices are lower than those of first-run theaters. Although it costs more to see the movie at the Gay Street Theater than to rent a video, “There’s something 1 about walking into a movie theater with the smell of popcorn and the big screen, that’s better than watching on . TV in your living room,” she said. “Besides, sometimes people just want to go out on Saturday or Sunday nights.” Batman, Accidental Tourist, and Dead Poets' Society are three of the movies that will be coming this fall, she said. See DIRECTORS, p. 17 KAY ROBERTSON and JO ELLEN McNEAL Compromise leaves permit fee at $12 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Representatives of the high school Student Council Association and school administrators reached a compromise on the issue of the student parking fee at a meeting Tuesday afternoon. The students agreed to recommend to the student body, and School Superintendent David Gangel agreed to recommend to the School Board, that the fee be set at $12 for this school year, and that those who have already paid $20 receive an $8 refund. In later years the fee will increase bv $2 per year to a maximum of $20 by the 1993-94 school year, they agreed. With fill dirt that has been donated and help from the highway department, which has agreed to provide grading for $1,000, Dr. Gangel said he hopes the new parking area can be available for student use this school year. Money from parking fees in future years will be used to spread four inches of gravel on the area and eventually cover it with a three-inch-thick paved surface. SCA President Benji Roy offered to have fundraisers to help keep fees down. He suggested that the SCA might have a car wash and donate half the proceeds to the parking lot. Dr. Gangel replied, “We have a lot of fundraisers going on. I’m not interested in starting any new fundraisers, but if any organization wants to make a donation, that would be fine.” The $12 figure was the mid-point between the $10 fee the SCA representatives asked for and a $14 figure Dr. Gangel said he had in mind. Approximately $1.25 of the fee is the cost of the parking sticker itself. This meeting followed the School Board's meeting last Tuesday night, which was for the second month in a row dominated by student protests of the parking fee. At that meeting Benji Roy presented the Board with petitions signed by approximately 150 students and 100 adults asking that the fee be dropped back to $3, that those who have paid the $20 receive a $17 refund, and that the parking lot in front be made into a permanent parking area. , “We disagree with the fee and the reasons given for it — that parking is not adequate and that to drive is a See PARKING, p. 14 Dumpster mess plagues county By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Something has got to be done with Scrabble. Those people up there are a bunch of pigs,” landfill operator Harold Artz told the other members of the Landfill Advisory Committee last Wednesday. “Every Monday and every' Friday I get 25 to 50 tires from Scrabble, not counting refrigerators, washers and dryers. They’re leaving trash on the ground.” Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham asked if the signs are in place there stating what could not be placed in the dumpster. Stonewall-Hawthom representative Robert Anderson replied that the signs are there, but do not mention tires and say “no white goods.” “I’ve asked several people what they think ‘white goods’ means and gotten different answers. I asked a lawyer if we could prosecute someone who put a refrigerator in there, and he said he could beat it every time. ‘White goods’ is a recycler's term.” “Whatever we have, it has to be specific,” Col. Bingham said. “As far as who is using it, we do not know," Mr. Anderson said. See DUMPSTERS, p. 18 Without state grant, library pares plans By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board has decided to go ahead with plans to build a new library, hoping additional funds can be raised from foundations and private individuals to offset the grant the county did not receive from the state library board. Chariman William Young said Monday. The building committee reviewed new building plans earlier that day, and anticipates going ahead with plans for a more traditional library than the original plans called for, he said. Dr. Young said the Board wants to stick with plans for an approximately 5,000 square-foot building including a multi-purpose room. He said the Board is still looking at a $500,000 budget, with approximately half the sum raised or pledged So far. Dr. Young said that if the library is unable to raise enough money for the whole project, the multi-purpose room might be built as a shell to be finished later. “It is more practical to build w hat we need, even if we don’t have the money to complete the interior, rather than to add on later, which would cost much more.” he said. Dr. Young said there were no new plans ready to show the public yet, but the “angulation of the modules is gone.” He said the new plans would be for a building that is not as long, and with a “more conventional looking exterior. “We are mobilized for approaches to foundations and an appeal to the citizens,” he said. --

Coleman's history is one of determination By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel New spapers State Writer Shiny, sliver-thin pieces of paper roll out of the Fax machine with a message from the Coleman for Governor campaign. “Coleman targets Drug Criminals’ Use of Advanced Weaponry,” “Coleman Releases Major Day Care Initiative," and the “Wilder Disinformation Report” are just examples of the daily press releases received from J. Marshall Coleman, Republican gubernatorial candidate. Throughout his campaign, Coleman has sought to have his words reach Virginia voters. His method can be likened to a woodpecker hammering repeatedly at the bark of a tree. The two-time gubernatorial candidate has shown that he has the patience and the determination to struggle for what he wants, even when the future looks gray. His perseverence proved effective in the state’s first Republican primary. Initially 30 points behind former U.S. Sen. Paul S. Trible Jr., Coleman told reporters, “I’m not going to give up.” ne conunuany oranaea inme a “quitter” for choosing not to run for the U.S. Senate re-election bid against Democrat Charles S. Robb, who took the seat in November. At the same time, he struggled to shake his label as a “loser.” Gradually, the image of Trible as a quitter began to stick and each attack seemed to pull Coleman higher in the polls. Then, in June, Virginia GOP voters finally gave Coleman the chance to prove what he had been telling them — that he was the only candidate who could beat Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder. Determination has characterized Coleman’s efforts during his career in politics. After serving as state attorney general from 1978 to 1981, Coleman achieved his party’s nomination for governor in 1981, but failed to draw voters away from popular Democrat Robb. In 1985, Coleman strived for a comeback, seeking his party’s nomination for lieutenant governor. He lost out to Del. John H. Chichester, 28th District, whose subsequent loss made history. His opponent, Wilder, became the first black to win a statewide election in Virginia. Coleman now faces the same historic candidate who, if elected, would become the first black ever to be elected governor.

Day REALTOR .. ITAKING SACK A MORTGAGE As a seller, if you have agreed to take back a first or second mortgage from the buyer (loaned him money at a specified interest to help finalize the sale), the documents can be drawn up by your attorney. If the buyer offers to prepare the mortgage, make sure your own lawyer approves or amends it. In most states, the mortgage consists of two parts. You will receive a note, (a personal promise to pay back the loan). You will also receive a Deed of Trust, which is a claim against the property if the promises made in the Note are not kept. Just as the .buyer is advised to put the deed on record immediately, so you should make sure that the Deed of Trust is promptly recorded. This will give you priority ahead of later claims on the property if there is ever trouble in the future. If you are paying off the present mortgage on the property you have just sold, that fact also should be noted in the public records with the filing of a certificate of satisfaction.

Marshall Coleman: “Keeping my eyes on the nnalc ” As a result of the primary, however, Coleman said that he no longer pays attention to polls. “I’m keeping my eyes on the goals,” he said recently. His campaign tactics, however, have not changed since June. He does not hesitated to harp on his opponent’s character, questioning his trustworthiness. Coleman’s campaign style has helped characterize the 1989 gubematoral race as the most negative in Virginia history. “Doug Wilder’s record is very negative,” Coleman said, defending his actions. “He’s certainly not going to bring it out.” send Coleman. However, Coleman contends that the bulk of his energy is spent discussing issues. “Ninety-five percent of my campaign is about what I’d like to do if I’m elected governor,” he said. Announcing his candidacy for governor last November, Coleman issued his “Agenda for the Ws," a 28-page booklet outlining his positions on Virginia concerns. He has made his anti-drug plan the centerpiece of his campaign platform. “If I’m elected, L’m going to have a mandate to have the most farreaching drug program in the country,” Coleman said. He has pledged to fight for rigid penalties for those convicted of drug offenses. Among his proposals are the death penalty for drug-related homicides, life sentences for repeat offenders, and mandatory sentences for all drug distribution offenses. He plans to use drug forfeitures to fuel the fight against drug smugglers. In addition, drug users will be a target under a Coleman administration. Fines collected from drug users will be pooled into a Drug-free Virginia Fund to aid law enforcement. To offset his call for stiffer sentences in a state suffering from a prisoner-packed corrections system, Coleman has proposed alternatives to incarceration. He has hailed the boot camp approach for nonviolent offenders. Hundreds of inmates could be placed in the strict militarytype program at a fraction of the cost of imprisonment, said Coleman. He blames the Democrats for falling behind in building prisons and has proposed privitization as a means of expediting construction. k Criticizing the current state transportation programs as ineffective, Coleman has proposed a Regional Transportation Authority to address the traffic snarles of Northern Virginia. The authority, comprised of local governments who choose to join, would take responsibility for the completion of major Northern Virginia road and mass transit project. Revenue resources for the authority would consist of bonds, tolls and existing local, state and federal allocations, according to Coleman. Addressing the question of a bypass around Washington, Coleman said he favors an eastern route, but added that a western bypass is inevitably in Virginia’s future. “It’s a question of time before Ruffled Curtains is NOW OPEN Over 85 Displays to Choose from With Everything To Match • Bedspreads • Table Rounds • Lampshades • Toss Pillows & Much More All Rods Available ALL IN STOCK Visit Our Store For FREE Catalog Mail Orders available Hours Mon-Sat 10-6 ■" 17 East Luray Shopping Center 703-743-4887 [<&\ g$| Luray, VA 22835 33rd Annual RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY HOUSE TOUR AND DRIED FLOWER SALE SEE OUTSTANDING HOMES IN THE HUNT COUNTRY OF THE BLUE RIDGE FOOTHILLS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21st 11 A.M.-5 P.M.

But the GOP candidate maintains that he will not be influenced by his key financial benefactor, Dwight Schar, a Northern Virginia developer who has contributed nearly $1 million to Coleman’s campaign, or any other developer. He reminds Virginians that he vehemently opposed Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ one percent local option income tax proposal favored by developers during the 1989 session ,of the General Assembly. On the issue of limiting campaign contributions from individuals -or corporations, Coleman said he would favor some restraint. However, he said, “I’m not sure I'm smart enough to solve the problem. Congress has been fooling around with it (the campaign contribution dilemma) for years.” An issue that has hounded Coleman in recent months is his position on abortion. With polls showing that the majority of Virginians are prochoice, many predict that Coleman’s pro-life stance may hurt him on election day. Although stating in the Oct. 9 televised debate that he would not seek legislation to limit abortion in cases of rape or incest, Coleman declined to answer whether or not he would attempt to limit abortion in other cases. In his agenda booklet, Coleman said he would support federal constitutional amendments to protect pre-bom human life.

Pledging no new taxes, Coleman has said he will support efforts to return lottery revenues to localities and to cease the imposition of unfunded state mandates to relieve the financial pressures burdening local governments. Should circumstances require a tax increase, Coleman said he would support it only upon the voter approval through a referendum. The Republican candidate also favors local option for elected school boards and Family Life Education. As with every effort, Coleman has campaigned aggressively throughout the state. “I don’t pretend to know it all,” he said. “I’m shaking hands with my state everyday, and I’ve learned a lot about it.” White Post's la The rumors are true — this is the last year for “White Post Celebrates,” according to Billy Thompson, owner of White Post Restorations, and the sponsor of this event. This will be the grande finale! He promises this year to be even bigger and better than ever before. This show started in 1986 in conjunction with his county’s sesquicentennial celebration. That first year 200 antique and classic cars made the trip to White Post, as well as 6,000 spectators who came to see these unique automobiles plus music, dance, and other festivities. From this small beginning, this show has tripled in size each successive year. The amount of exciting music, dance and other entertainment has expanded tremendously. Together with this once-in-a-lifetime assemblage of fantastic auto st celebration mobiles, there are two very unique features of the White Post Show — one is it is all free of charge, and the other is that all concessions are operated for the benefit of local civic organizations. White Post Celebrates opens its final show by expanding it into two full days— Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 21 and 22. The show begins at 9 a.m. each morning and there will be two outdoor stages with live music and dance until dark! Each day the sky will be full of antique airplanes and sky divers from the 82nd Airborne from Ft. Bragg. At dark the sky will be lit with a grande finale fireworks display! One of the centerpiece cars this year will be the famous “Tucker” automobile featured in the recent Hollywood production.

Washington Va 227<7 Telephone: 703-675-3338 HOURS: 8:30 a m to 5:30 p m . Mon -Fri Published by Arundel Newspapers Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial Public enemy No. 1 Several weeks ago, this newspaper adopted a new policy regarding drug offenses committed in Rappahannock County. Individuals convicted of drug-related offenses can, from now on, easily find their names among the listing in the General District Court Docket. They will be catalogued separately under a bold headline: “Drug convictions.” In most cases, those convicted of felony offenses will be written up in a news story which provides details of their criminal activity. Names of drug offenders, once convicted, will not be withheld from publication for any reason. Apparently, to date, drug abuse is not a major problem in our county, as it is in nearly all surrounding areas. In some measure, this is a lucky accident. Without centers of significant population, it is difficult for drug dealers to make a profit here, and their activities would certainly draw attention quickly. On the other hand, our isolation makes an inviting place for smuggling operations to be headquartered. Our many lonely dirt roads are difficult to patrol, and vehicles can come and go without undue notice. The Sheriffs Department depends on the eyes and ears of alert neighbors to report suspicious conduct. The law enforcement officials of this county are adamant in their determination to keep Rappahannock County free of the corrupting influence of drugs and drug peddlers. Considering their small numbers, they face a daunting task. Our new policy is intended to buttress their effort. We are under no illusions that our policy will cure the problem of drug abuse, any more than threats of extended prison terms and possible death sentences will. The experiences of the past 20 years, as well as the historical perspective of the Prohibition era, suggest otherwise. There is just too much money to be made to deter those determined to deal in illegal drugs. However, we do feel that the fear of public exposure and humiliation may serve to deter some casual users, who may become convinced that their illegal activities are not worth the risk to their careers and reputations. An analogy may be drawn to the practice of locking homes and cars — measures which might not deter the professional thief, but probably will put temptation out of reach for some would-be casual miscreants. There is certainly anecdotal evidence to support that position. We support the efforts of the Sheriffs Department, the State Police and the Commonwealth’s Attorney to rid our county of the scourge of drugs. And we feel that any contribution that we can make is worthwhile. Commentary a Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahah Rappahannock heritage BUDDING ENTREPRENEUR Thomas Lee III has a booming pumpkin business on U.S. 522, and a speel for his customers to go along with it: One to four dollars. You give me the money — you’ve got yourself a pump Letters to the editor Congress's problems solved System in harm's wav To the editor: I HAVE THE ANSWER!! From time to time the ordinary citizen, various politician pundits, and certain segments of the media accuse the members (singly or as a whole) of our United States Congress of various crimes and misdemeanors. They spend huge amounts of money frivolously. They write numerous irrelevant and unintelligible laws. They have accumulated an outrageously bloated staff (over 36,000 an average of 67 per Member of Congress). They all too often are found to be engaged in off-duty liaisons with members of the opposite (or same, of late) sex to whom they are not bound by the accepted bond of holy matrimony. They are said to be grossly overpaid, to have huge travel allowances, to do much of their shopping abroad at taxpayer expense, and to have lost sight of the lofty purposes for which their constituencies sent them to Washington in the first place. On and on it goes. In all fairness, however, our beleaguered Congressmen and women maintain that they are skillfully keeping our Ship of State on an even keel in increasingly turbulent seas, that to do so requires a large (36,000??) and competent crew, that travel to their home districts every weekend is necessary to keep their fingers on the pulse of their constituents, that travels abroad are necessary to finger the pulses of foreigners, that the cost of living in Washington is high, that they work long hours for a pittance, and that their periodic off-duty peccadillos 1' are necessary to keep their fingers on other pulses (and besides, the spouse has chosen to stay behind in Duluth so what’s a guy/girl to do?) Know what? I think they have too much time on their hands. So what’s my solution? Build two high-rise apartment towers (a la Mr. Trump) in the parking lot behind the U.S. Capitol, one for Republican members of Congress and one for Democrats. Allow Congress to be in session for only six weeks^n the spring and six weeks in the fall. They will be authorized up to five staff members each, no more, who will provide continuity, research and answer phones. The Congressmen and women will be obliged to sell their homes here in Washington and go back to their districts and find permanent jobs at which they will work full time except for those periods of temporary duty when they attend sessions •of Congress. When they do come to town they will be provided free bachelor officer apartments in the appropriate Partisan tower. The apartments will be sparsely furnished; there will be lounges in each tower w'here they can fraternize and feel pulses when off duty; and they can walk to work. Each member of Congress will have a limited allotment of legislative bills that he or she can propose during each six week session. Large flashing neon signs (one a donkey and the other an elephant) will be placed on the roof of each tower, to guide the members home. Seniority, when deserved, will be recognized by higher floor numbers and not by larger-sized apartments. And what are the benefits? We taxpayers will save billions, the deficit will evaporate, the few laws passed will be relevant and understandable, and when Congress is not in session w'e can rent the vacant apartments to tourists. R.D. SWEET Washington Fire safety foremost To the editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association, I would like to thank all the fire and rescue personnel and ‘fire and rescue companies who participated in the “Fire Prevention Day” held on Oct. 7 at the Rappahannock High School. A special thanks goes to John Toth for the use of the school, to Pat Lawler, for making sure the school was secure at the end of the day, and to Mike Brown and Mike Atkins for their donation of two vehicles that were used in our vehicle extrication exercise. These two individuals delivered the vehicles and also picked the vehi cles up after our use. Another thanks goes to Warden Tippy Jenkins from the Division of Forestry for his demonstration and “Smokey the Bear.” We also thank Pepsi-Cola and Frankie Huff for the donations of the drinks. Although the participation from the public was low, we all learned a lot about fire prevention, and we hope that everyone keeps “Safety” first in their daily activities. We hope to have more activities planned for next year. Again, we appreciate any support we receive. SHEILA M. SCOTT Secretary, RCVFRA To the editor: ■r We who <ar» politically-moderateRepublicans in Rappahannock County find a deep gratification, and can take justifiable pride, in the legislative record and actions of two Republican legislators representing this county at the state and national levels. U.S. Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. has proven himself representative of the high standards of ethical conduct and courageous action which we Virginians expect from those we elect to public office. State Delegate Andy Guest is cut from the same mold of dedication to the public trust. We can enthusiastically urge support for Andy Guest’s reelection as a true friend for Rappahannock interests in the state legislature. While this writer, a former “oldtime” conservative Virginia Democrat of the Harry Flood Byrd era, will also support the election of the entire Republican slate for state of fice, I cannot refrain from joining the many others in expressing disappointment in and opposition to the apparent growing trend toward negative campaigning by both political parties. Where this happens, and whatever may be the election outcome, this approach leaves voters turnedoff, paritcularly among the younger folk, feeling let-down, and with a bad after-taste. Let’s insist that our political leaders from now on emphasize the positive and the upbeat that will attract and inspire the electorate. There is simply too much voting based on an emotional basis rather than the essential thoughtful consideration of what is really best — realistic and accomplishable. It even could be that the very survival of our democratic system may be in harm’s way unless we lift our standards for political conduct and action. MAURICE HERNDON SDerrvville Beyer an effective leader To the editor: On Nov. 7, the voters must choose between two candidates for Lieutenant Governor. The better choice by far is Don Beyer. Here are some facts: • Don Beyer is young, vigorous, and effective. He is the president of a small business concern that grew, under his leadership, from $5 million in annual sales' in 1976 to over $25 million in 1989. • As president of his business, Don Beyer has created jobs (100), balanced budgets, and made the tough decisions necessary for success. • Don Beyer is a natural leader. He took the initiative to make his firm a drug free workplace; he has received awards for highway safety, including one for founding Dealers Against Drunk Driving in 1982; he is or has been president of a Car Dealer Association, and president of his local Chamber of Commerce. • Don Beyer is public spirited. He serves as a member of the Commonwealth Transportation Board; he requires all of his firm’s 100 employees, including himself, to volunteer at least three hours a week of community service. The contrast between Don Beyer and his opponent is great. Although she bears a name well known in Virginia, Eddy Dalton’s effectiveness stops there. As a freshman State Senator, she has indeed introduced bills, but none of them was passed. One must be able to work with others in politics if one is to be effective. In a survey of the effectiveness of delegates and state senators in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot and Ledger Star newspaper, she was ranked last. In its endorsement of Lt. Governor Wilder for Governor, the Oct. 15 Washington Post said, “The state has been governed well in the RobbBaliles years. The record has been a good combination ol progress and calm...Mr. Wilder promises to perpetuate that solid record and Mr. Coleman has failed to make the case for change.” ; Don Beyer is an important and effective member of Doug Wilder^ team. To continue the good government of the last eight years, yoq should vote for the entire team; Wilder, Beyer and Terry. J/// LEE BIRD Washington

wm-'. • . 4 f V\. ;> v-7 • '•; '-viv.it :**=? *■■•■ ’mj.t : ^ We know Andy Guest I o the editor: Election Day, Nov. 7 is just a few weeks away when we will elect our state and local representatives. Locally, some voters say that “it is time for a change.” Shortly after WWII British voters were told the same thing; Labor said that the people had had enough of Churchill and his policies, that it was “time for a change.” tabor was elected, government controls increased and as is usually the case when this happens things went from bad to infinitely worse. So in 1952 Churchill was relected. We in Virginia have been more fortunate than other states in that conservative policies have ruled in Richmond most of the time. But sitill, some people say that “it is time for a change” even at the local level. - The upcoming election should not viewed as a race between personalities or one over abortion rights (hot all Democrats favor these nor dp all Republicans oppose them), but »race between philosophies of government; one between liberal and conservative. Virginia has been historically conservative no matter \?hich party provided the Governor. But in the last two administrations State government has grown at double the rate at the Federal level. With this non-productive growth came greater spending which cannot be laid solely to monetary inflation (relatively low) but to the inflated cost of self-maintenance. In this area, yes, we can use a change. We need a representative in the House of Delegates a person with a philosophy of less spending to support non-productive growth, less increase in taxation and therewith control, an increase in the number of taxpayers through an expanded revenue-producing tax base and thereby a reduction in the number of taxtakers. This is the philosophy of Andy Guest and is to our general advantage. He has sought the comments of his constituents and has acted on them. We know him; we know the philosophy of government he represents, and he knows us. In Andy Guest’s case, it is not time for a change. D.C. KNUEPFER Washington Common sense needed To the editor: Virginia has a new law that says a.gun dealer must call the State Police to make sure that a customer does not have a criminal record before selling him an assault weapon. This has nothing to do with rifles and shotguns used by hunters, only with the tools of drug dealers and mass murderers. This law passed the House of Delegates by a vote of 80 to 15.

Merlin Short), Pastor Rappahannock Methodist Charge Sperry ville, Flint IIill, Willis Chapel "WHAT ABOUT SIN?" Sin is primarily a violation of the first Commandment, Fhou shalt have no other gods before me." When we attempt to be God, we make a god out of self. Our first parents devoured the forbidden fruit, reserved only for God. Fven today we violate Gods territory at our peril. Sin may be defined as resolving to take God's room, in other words, playing God. I he Bible contrasts the word "sins" in the plural number with "sin" in the singular. Sins are what we do. Sin is the motivating force behind our sins. Sins are the superficial outbreaks of sin. Jesus identified the sinful motive as the cause of sins. (Matt. 5:21-22, 27-28) Murder is conceived where there is hatred. Adultery incubates where there is lust. The good news of the Gospel is that God in Christ not only forgives what we do; God also forgives what we are. Because we cannot reserve the clock and try again, forgiveness is the only way to right a wrong. All of us are violated now and then. Human experience ought to convince us that revenge is no cure. The endless cycle of revenge and counter-revenge only multiplies hostilities. But forgiveness frees us from this whirlpool. When we forgive, we are free to get on with our lives. Since all sin is directed against God, God's forgiveness is our basic need. And only when in touch with God’s forgiveness can we forgive each other. Forgiveness is paying the loss of our own hurt, and forgetting. Forgiveness comes at great cost, but well worth the effort. The debt of sin is one we will never pay. This debt made the coming of Jesus an absolute necessity. The cross is a picture of the great price God paid to redeem us; but also a picture of the hideousness of our sin. God knows the magnitude of our debt and simply says, "Forget it, friend, I'll take the loss." We, on the other hand, have no idea how much we owe. So in our pride we insist on paying. But the debt only grows heavier the harder we tryOur sinfulness is no secret to God. Our sins do not place us out of reach. As a matter of fact, our sins make us candidates for God's mercy. It is not the sin but the cover-up that places us beyond God's help. We must face the truth about ourselves if we are to be free. The truth sets us free (John 8:32) As long as we engage in denial, even God can’t help us. But as soon as we admit we can't swim, the Lifeguard will be there to save us. ■ GLASCOCK’S CARPET SHOP “Where Quality Comes First” Carpet — Vinyl — Hardwood — Tile Rt. 29 North " Culpeper, Virginia 703/825-0423 fCONVALESS The Plains Pharmacy Home Health Equipment The Plains, VA. 22171 (703)253-5275 (800)237 6717 (V« Only) ABERDEEN BARN Steak* • Seafood - Prim* Rib Banquet* • Luncheon* In the Holiday Inn ol Culpeper 703 825-1037 COMMONWEALTH CORPORATION L umber A Building Supphet 424 Manaaaat Si From Roy a 7036352176 Sp iritual Treasures Hilil ft, >n>ik\ i.ij <■*,, y.inwi, jewt 11 y, Oiuir rui)i ', uruforim, irmiriniinjj, pmitmtjtii0Pyi,lK- w iJJiny, mviUhiiiio M«m I hurt MJa m Spin I n IO4 in 4,p m , S*t 104 m Sp in.

Grenelefe built around original log home This coming weekend Oct. 21 and 22 will see the 33rd Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried r lower Sale, sponsored by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington. This popular event features not only the sale of hundreds of lovely flower arrangements by the ladies and their friends, flowers and greens grown and collected and dried since spring, but also a tour of three Rappahannock County homes. The last house to be shown this weekend is Grenelefe which is one mile southwest of Amissville on Rt. 642 and the home of Col. and Mrs. Ellis Bingham. Grenelefe sawr its beginnings in approximately 1740 as a two story log house. It was enlarged in 1837 with Isaiah Corbin’s “2 over 2” clapboard addition. Typical of houses of the time, a dining room and a living room are located on either side of the entry hall. Floors, Shaker pegs on the walls, and woodwork are original as are the chestnut stair rails and living room and dining room windows, and the dining room door with its John Harper lock. Beyond the entry hall is a lovely farm eat-in kitchen, the original log house whose size is delineated by the large ceiling beam. Beyond this was a porch now incorporated into the kitchen. A doorway to the dining room shows the width of the log house walls. The original dug well, stone lined, 23 feet deep and still functioning, is located just outside the rear kitchen door. Dependencies include a smoke house to the right and behind, a bam nbw Col. Bingham’s woodworking shop, and a guest house. Behind these are a lovely swimmming pool and a 2 1/2 acre pond stocked with blue channel cat, bass and bluegill. Around the house and between it and the pond are large boxwoods, many of which started as cutting from those in Williamsburg. Ownership of the property has passed thru many families from Corbin to Hackley, Clevenger, Streeter and Parker. It passed to the Binghams in 1984 by which time the clap ■' • * * --»*+* - ....■ «m Photos courtesy of Sean Kilpatrick GRENELEFE’S COMBINATION KITCHEN and family room preserves the original log home atmosphere. board and log walls had been covered with brick. Grenelefe is a comfortable farm house whose interior retains a colonial charm. In the dining room are Chippendale chairs and an 1840 American sideboard and a lovely Chippendale game table in the living room. Other furnishings include mementos of the Binghams’ 6 172 year service in the Marines and 19 1/2 years in the Army with duty in Korea, Germany, the Panama Canal Zone and Vietnam. Headquarters for the tour and the dried flower sales room is the Parish Hall of Trinity Church. Tickets will be on sale there and at the individual homes, $6 for three homes and tea and $2.50 for single homes. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Cooking with Persimmons are native curiosity By SANDRA RICHARDSON Fall is the time of the year when persimmons are seen downing trees along Virginia’s obscure hedge rows, at the edges of fields and on backlots of homesteads. The mystery surrounding the popularity of this navtive fruit persists. On the one hand, persimmons attract a small number of connoisseurs, eager for their harvest. On the other hand, there are a few folks who look upon persimmons with disdain, ranking it as fit for consumption only by the possum whose name in Southern folklore is linked to the persimmon tree. And in between there is the majority, in ignorance of the fruit, scarcely having heard its name, much less having ever tasted it. Champions of the persimmons apparently are delighted that their chief competitors are possums and other small animals because the gradual urbanization has reduced growing space for the trees. The dead-ripe fruit, eaten with a spoon or out-of-hand, has a taste that to some is similar to the palm date or apricot. Capt. JohnaSmith was one of the first Virginians impressed by the persimmon. Soon * after settling at Jamestown, he wrote,"...the fruit is like a medlar; it is first green, then yellow and red when it is ripe: if it is not ripe it will drive a man’s mouth awire with much torment; but when it is ripe it is as delicious as an apricot.” Perhaps it is the experience of having bitten into a green persimmon that has turned some folks against it; the unripe fruit is full of tannic acid, and as Captain Smith found out, it will make one’s mouth feel as if it’s trying to turn itself inside out — the green fruit is that puckery. Despite the ripe fruit’s excellent flavor, there has been little effort made to improve the native persimmon and to grow it commercially, although some efforts were made in the last century. Apparently little of the wild fruit reaches the market. Perhaps these reasons account for the little awareness of the persimmon. The wild persimmon tree grows 30 to 50 feet in height. The round fruit, more like a berry, contains four to eight seeds, and varies from one to one and a half inches in diameter. When the fruit is ripe, it is wrinkled and often appears to be on the verge of spoiling. Trees spring from seeds distributed by animals and birds that eat USDA Choice Beef LONDON BROIL AND TOP ROUND ROAST SUN. 22 MON.lTUES. 16 I 17 Prices in this ad good Monday, Qct. 16 thru Sunday, Oct. 22, 1989.

Persimmons were used by Indians as food, mixing the pulp with commeal to make a bread.

I nursaay, Uctober IV, rV89 I I Kindergartners exchange stories, knowledge and motivation By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The arrival of books at Rappahannock County Elementary School was a cause for celebration last week. These were special books, because they contained words and pictures created by a group of last year’s kindergarten and seventh grade students. “A Little City, A Little Country” was a joint project between RCES and Public School 105 in the Bronx, New York. It was conceived by Laurie Marshall, a Rappahannock County artist who has frequently contributed her talents to creative enterprises involving the county’s children. The idea for the project, she said, was a coincidence resulting from her son starting kindergarten last year. She found that one of his classmates had a grandmother who teaches kindergarten at a public school in the Bronx, in the middle of New York City. “An idea emerged from thinking about kindergarten in these two places.” At first glance, the two places, Rappahannock County, Virginia and the Bronx, New York, seem worlds apart, she said. But Ms. Marshall saw the possibility of expanding the horizons of the children in both environments — to acquaint them with other children who live much different lives — through words and pictllTPS thp>vr proatort tKomcoKroo After speaking with kindergarten teachers Shelby Jordan Kline at RCES and Carole Kaufman in the Bronx, Ms. Marshall approached the Polaroid Corporation to ask for technical assistance. Through a program (since discontinued) Polaroid supplied four instant cameras and 20 rolls of film to each school. The project, which continued over the second half of the 1988-89 school year, involved the students taking photographs of 10 different specific assignments. They ranged from self-portraits, family portraits, the view from each child’s window to more creative assignments like a letter shape (found in the world, not printed), something for other children to see, and “your choice.” The young kindergartners were anxious at first about the responsibility of the assignments, Mrs. Kline said. “I saw their self-esteem skyrocket. When I gave them the camera and said, ‘Here, go take a picture,’ they couldn’t believe it.” Then, each student described the picture he had taken, in his own words. Each student created their own book of pictures and words, with assistance from Eleanor Katz’s seventh grade class at RCES. The older students worked one-on-one with the kindergartners, asking them questions about the pictures and writing down their responses. The books were then exchanged with the other school, and each stu Qldw/v CRAFT V ILL AG 5 OTti Industrial ^arkjvrylri P R E S E N T S THE FIRST ANNUAL FALL OLDWAY DEMONSTRATING GRAFT FESTIVAL LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS OF OLD WORLD CRAFTS AND SKILLS Glassblowing • Woodworking • Welding Glass Engraving • and More!

For most of the children in Rappahannock County, it was their first exposure to children of different cultures and nationalities. They met, through their books, children from Russia, Korea, China, Albania, Greece, Columbia, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Brazil. Many of those children, Ms. Marshall added, were learning English in Mrs. Kaufman’s kindergarten class. For most of the city students, she explained, it was a chance for them to learn about people who live in the country, “and deal with nature on a daily basis.” Many had never seen a live animal other than a dog or a cat, and most had never seen the open spaces in the country students’ pictures. They had no experience, Mrs. Kaufman added, with a world “not cluttered with cars, taxis, elevated trains and a multitude of people and stores. ” Through a $300 grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, selections were made from each handcrafted book and compiled into a bound book, then printed. .Last Wednesday night, the former kindergartners, now in first grade, received their books. Their parents came to the party too, and took turns reading examples of their child’s work from each page of the book. The smiles on the childrens’ faces as they listened to the readings bespoke the project’s success. They pointed to pictures taken by their friends, and laughed as the entries were read to the group. Some exchanged whispered comments, and several older children read passages to the younger students. The parents, too, were noticably pleased by the pictures and words created by their young children, and their voices filled with pride when they read the entries written by their youngster. Ms. Marshall noted that, although the two groups of students live in radically different environments, “common feelings came through in both sets: the love of parents and grandparents, the conflicts and closeness with siblings, the importance of friendships, and the enr joyment of many of the same toys, books and TV programs.” One city boy, David Abreau, took a picture from his living room window at night and wrote that “it is too dark to see anything.” Carl Cutro, from RCES, responded, “I can’t see anything out of my window at night either.” In addition to their first-hand knowledge of other children living in other environments, the children became teachers for the other group, telling them of experiences foreign to the others. “This was an empowering role and helped strengthen their self-esteem,” Ms. Marshall said. The project also helped foster reading skills, Mrs. Kline said. Rather than mere words on the page of a reading book, suddenly the kindergartners saw their spoken words transcribed into wTiting by their seventh-grade helpers. “They wanted to read their own words, as well as the ones given in response.” For the children in New York, Ms. Marshall added, the responses in English from their country correspondents provided an extra incentive for them to learn English so they could read them. “It gave the child with limited English proficiency a chance to talk about himself and his family,” Mrs. Kaufman said. “His feelings and ideas were important!” In another exercise, the city children sent greetings to RCES in their native languages. Mrs. Kline wrote the characters on the blackboard, and the seventh graders pronounced the phrases for the kindergartners. “Suddenly, foreign languages came alive to both the older and younger students.” During yet another class, Mrs. Kline’s students took imaginary trips to the native countries of their city correspondents. Some days later, she brought a large globe to class, and asked the children where the city children came from. The students remembered the countries, See PROJECT, p. 17 * Kick up your heels... ★ Cowtown Rodeo comes to Commonwealth Park! jkj - j . * Bull Riding * * Barrel Racing * * Steer Wrestling * * Bareback Riding * * Saddle Bronc Riding * * Calf Roping * * Team Roping * All Top Pro Rodeo Riders.

4 Donations sought to finish stadium James Kussell is hoping that his friends and neighbors will pitch in to help him complete his dream. Two years ago, Mr. Russell, the owner of Horseshoe Hills restaurant on U.S. 211 west of Sperryville, started a memorial fund dedicated to Ronnie Pullen, a Sperryville resident who was killed in a construction accident in Fauquier County while working for the Virginia Department of Transportation. Mr. Pullen was also a longtime softball and sandlot baseball player and spectator, who could often be found on the makeshift field next to Mr. Russell’s restaurant. Mr. Russell decided that an improved stadium would be a fitting memorial to Mr. Pullen, and established the fund. Now, the field has been upgraded and a backstop and screens constructed. There are bleachers in place behind home plate. But Mr. Russell is still not fin ished. He envisions a roof over the grandstand, “to provide shelter and a bit more comfort for our spectators.” He also sees the space around the field as a place where local people can hold family reunions, church events and other activities. And he’s issued a special appeal to local'contractors, building suppliers and tradsmen. “Your building expertise, materials or donations will help us complete our stadium and thus enable us to develop and improve our facility so we can give something back to the community.” This, Mr. Russell added, “is the basic idea and goal of the stadium.” Mr. Russell suggested that anyone who wishes more information or to offer help for the stadium contact him at Horseshoe Hills Restaurant (987-9005). Donations to the stadium fund may be sent to: Ronnie Pullen Stadium Fund, c/o Rappahannock National Bank, Washington, Va. 22747. -~ ^ v.- . ,.^s^>-.-^- ™~TTTiiBiiBf - ~Tmm ' i n i i f' imm Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter LOOKING TO COMPLETE his dream, James Russell (left) is seeking to complete the grandstand roof at the Ronnie Pullen Softball Field at Horseshoe Hill west of Sperryville.

The plentiful yields of feed and hay crops will provide ample suppliers of feed stocks for livestock this winter. Excellent crop growth statewide has been promoted by consistent and timely rains throughout the spring and summer months, the VASS report added. Virginia’s record high com yield forecast of 106 bushels per acre was unchanged from the Sept. 1 forecast. The new record would surpass the previous record yield of 104 bushels per acre harvested in 1984 and would top last year’s yield by 27 bushels. This would put the state’s total com production at 32.9 million bushels, 41 percent above last year’s drought reduced crop of 23.3 million bushels.

The U.S. com for grain production, as of Oct. 1, is forecast at 7.45 billion bushels, up two percent from last month and 51 percent above the drought reduced crop of 1988. Harvest is running behind normal. Virginia’s Oct. 1 soybean crop forecast continues to indicate a record high yield of 32 bushels t per acre. Timely rains in mid and late September promoted pod growth and development, particularly in late planted beans. This forecast is unchanged from Sept. 1, but well above last year’s yield of 28 bushels. The previous record yield was 29.5 bushels set in 1984. Virginia’s soybean production in 1989 is expected to total 16.8 million bushels, eight percent above 1988. Soybean harvest should be in full swing by the end of October. The U.S. soybean production is forecast at 1.93 billion bushels, up two percent from the September 1 forecast and 24 percent above 1988.

Driving is a necessity to students who are heavily involved in sports. The coaches insist that students have a prompt ride home,” he said. “We feel seniors will not get their money’s worth and that students are paying for a mistake made by the School Board, not just the privilege to park." Benji said he was representing the Student Council in making his presentation. “If we are in the wrong, we appologize, but we feel we are being used to make up for a mistake the School Board made.” The students waited through the rest of the meeting, including waiting through a long executive session. During the regular meeting School Superintendent David Gangel estimated that the county would probably receive $36,000 less in basic aid from the state than was expected when the budget was made up. This shortfall, he told the board, is due to the fact that enrollment is down. When the budget was made up, it was based on an extimated average daily membership of 937. The current ADM is 920, and Dr. Gangel guessed that it might be as low as 912 in March, which is the date the state uses for basic aid. “I have requested each school to freeze $10,000, and we will freeze $8,000 at the central office,” he said.' “These actions are precautionary.” “We will not be able to do all the things we put in the budget," Mrs. Massie said. “It’s good to have the figures now so we can react and be cautious at this time. We won’t have to worry about our ability to pay our bills or pay salaries at the end of the year.” At the end of the meeting Mrs. Massie asked if there were questions from those in the audience. “About the parking issue, I wonder if there could be a decision on our petition,” Benji Roy asked. “Because of the lower student enrollment we can’t set aside any more funds or do any more at this time,” Mrs. Massie replied. “What would be the School Board position on holding off on the parking lot until we can afford to build a parking lot?” Benji asked. “That parking was meant to be temporary,” Dr. Gangel said. “Without proper maintenance we could get by one or two years. Now is the time to put in a parking lot that will be somewhat permanent. We will try to work with the highway department so the seniors this year can use it. “It won’t be a complete parking area. Over time we will continue to use fees to improve it. I wish I could say let’s take away this fee, but I don’t feel it’s the taxpayers’ responsibility to pay for this. I wish we could put this behind us, but we can not wait till we have a mud hole two years down the road,” Mary Bailey, a parent, asked, “Why put the parking lot behind the school? Why not leave it where it is and put gravel on it? I hate to see all these kids put out $20 for the parking area. It’s unfair to the high school kids. It’s utterly ridiculous for them to have to pay for it. A lot of others of us feel the same way.” Corey Thompson asked if there wasn’t likely to be “more vandalism” with a parking lot in the back. “It could happen out there as well as in back,” Board member Bryant Lee said. “Is a jump from $3 to $20 in one year reasonable?” Nathan Burke asked. “It’s hard for me to come up with $20. Mrs. Massie asked Dr. Gangel to meet with the student leaders “so they will have a clear idea of what we’re trying to do. I hope they will be open minded.” That suggestion led to this Tuesday’s meeting.

After the class, she related, one of her students told her, “with serious excitement,” that his family has a book of maps at home. “The concept that maps represent real places where human beings live seemed to become more meaningful.” The class discussion then evolved to possible reasons why the city children may have come to the United States. “Maybe there’s a war . . . Maybe they can’t find jobs . . . Maybe they aren’t free” were among the responses from the children. For Ms. Marshall, this indicated that the students understand the realities of life in a world unlike their own. Mrs. Katz said that her seventh grade class also got an unexpected benefit from the program. Although they were skeptical at first of the idea of being paired with much younger kindergarten children, soon they found they were role models for their young partners. “It was incredibly good for these kids’ egos — they could not believe that the little ones looked up at them with such trust and admiration.” Suddenly, she said, her seventh graders became much more conscious of their handwriting, grammar and punctuation. “At the end of one 45-minute dictation session,” Ms. Marshall added, “the room was filled with seventh graders spontaneously and quietly reading books to their little buddies.” All three adult participants agreed that one of the most important accomplishments of the project was taking learning out of a sterile, impersonal book task and bringing it alive. Because the writing and pictures were created by each child, the learning process became personal, and more successful, Ms. Marshall explained. “This has been the most wonderful project,” Mrs. Kline added. “They have learned so much.” And, she noted, it covered a broad swath of the state’s standards of learning on the kindergarten level. “This was a fun way of learning, rather than just sitting down with a reader. So much has come out of this,” Mrs. Kline concluded. And as the children filed out of their former classroom last week, clutching their copy of “A Little City, A Little Country,” it was obvious that the benefits continue, and that the desire for learning inspired by the project was not left behind. PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED BYWAY DESIGNATION RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY A public hearing concerning proposed byway designations in Rappahannock County will be held by the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Conservation and Historic Resorces on Thursday, November 2,1989 at 7 p.m. at the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department in Flint Hill. At the meeting, a proposal to designate Routes 606, 628, 641 and 647 as Virginia Byways will be considered. The proposed designation includes Routes 628 and 647 beginning at the intersection with Business Route 211 at the town of Washington, and extending to the intersection with Route 637 near the Fauquier County line. Representatives of the two agencies will be available at the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department for a question and answer session one hour before the formal hearing. Virginia Department of Transportation Directors Continued from page 1 Besides the movies, there are special programs, usually at the theater “at least once a month,” Mrs. Robertson pointed out. Upcoming events include a square dance Oct. 21, a John McCutchen concert Nov. 3, and an evening of traditional Irish music with the Ellis Island Band Nov. 18, she said. “We’re fortunate that Anne (former RAAC Director Anne Stevens) did so good a job,” she said. “We’re in great shape. With the paper work she left, it’s easy to learn how RAAC works.” One of the new director’s first jobs was writing the application for the annual grant from the state that keeps RAAC going. With that behind her, Mrs. Robertson is looking towards the future, and one thing she expects to accomplish is a summer theater for youth. She has approached local directors who are interested in working on such a project, and she is certain it will be available for Rappahannock’s young people next summer. “I am not a person who gets an idea and drops it,” she said. “We have a great board of directors,” Mrs. Robertson said, “They’re very active and very involved. They set the tone for everything. They really want to reach out to the community, expanding the membership so everybody can come and get something from RAAC, whether it’s a bluegrass festival or a discussion of what's going on in China.” Ms. McNeal added, “That’s the question for every arts organization since the beginning. How do you get people involved? Maybe some people only come once a year. That still serves a purpose. But maybe they will come and see how much fun we’re having and want to join in. There are so many ways to be involved.” “One of the ways to participate is to become a member,” Mrs. Robertson said. In the years since RAAC started, membership has been steadily growing, with about 400 memberships now. “But in a county with over 6,000 people, there are more out there,” she said. Both women were amazed at how much is accomplished in the organization by volunteers, however. “Jo Ellen and I are the only paid people, and we’re part time,” Mrs. Robertson said. “All the rest is done by volunteers,” who do everything from projecting the movies, to baking for the concessions, to setting up programs, she said. / SHERTOAN-MACMAHON, LTD.

Boundary Continued from page 1 border which could theoretically benefit from a similar boundary adjustment. If the county were forced into such a move, he told the committee, scores of new building lots not now allowed could be created. The county, he said, is opposed to any action which might establish such a precedent. The committee asked its legal counsel if such a lot line adjustment could be done by a memorandum of understanding between the two governments, rather than by ordinance amendment. However, County Attorney Peter Luke and Town Attorney Frank Reynolds both advised the committee that such a move was not the proper course, and recommended the action be taken by ordinance amendment. Town planner Stewart Willis suggested that a solution might be fashioned by allowing land within the town and outside its limits to be combined for the purposes of creating a building lot. If the owner is then able to meet the minimum size requirement for whatever zoning district the land is in, a lot could be treated. The remainder of the land in the county would be governed by the applicable county zoning ordinances at the time of the adoption of the straddle lot ordinance, Councilman Ray Gooch explained. If the residue in the county were of sufficient size to allow additional building lots, they could be cut as well. However, if the residue were insufficient to create an additional lot, the property already combined with the town lot could not be counted toward the necessary additional acreage for a county lot. “This is an effort,” Mr. Gooch explained, “to eliminate a hardship for someone with some land in town and some in the county but not enough either place to create a buildable lot - - without creating what Mr. Wickens has called a ‘necklace of subdivisions’ around the town.” It allows the creation of a building lot, Mayor Dean Morehouse added, “without giving additional subdivision rights to someone who would otherwise not have them.” Mr. Gooch also noted an important qualification for anyone combining property inside and outside the town under the proposed solution. “It would be subject to the town’s Historic District Ordinance. Plans would have to come before the Architectural Review Board and the elements of the Historic District Ordinance would apply to whatever is built on it. This is a serious qualification which I want to make clear to everyone.” Mr. Morehouse asked Supervisor Hubert Gilkey why the county had objected to a “one-time” minor boundary adjustment of the lot lines of eight to ten lots. “That seemed to me to be the most expeditious way to handle this without changing the zoning ordinance. ” The county, Mr. Gilkey replied, did not object to the adjustment, but questioned who would pay for the surveying necessary to redraw the boundaries. “It wouldn’t be fair to put that on the county. We would share the cost,” Mayor Morehouse assured him. Mr. Gooch, who is a member of the joint committee, told the mayor that “there was a feeling that solution could not be uniformly applied to all property owners. We have tried to put blinders on, and to solve the problem with everybody in the same way.” ‘That s extremely important,” Councilwoman Evelyn Willis agreed. Mr. Smoot asked why the line could not be redrawn to where it was before the 1984 boundary adjustment. “It was a satisfactory line, no one was upset with it. ” The mayor replied that, according to the stories he had heard, there was no surveyed line. “One of the reasons for redoing the town's charter was to make a definitive line. The town hired an engineer and a surveyor to go out and determine the line. We are not going to try to reverse that, but it has left us with split lots. We have been wrestling with this for a long time, and it has created a hardship for people like you.” Mr. Smoot protested that, at the time of the boundary change in 1984, he knew nothing of the action. “We shouldn’t have to suffer the consquences.” Mr. Gilkey replied that the process had been discussed by both the Board of Supervisors and the Town Council, had been advertised in the Rappahannock News and that public hearings had been held. “Yes, it was,” said long-time council member Brad Fisher. “This council did not change the boundary,” Mr. Gooch added, “and we have no intention of making further changes. We want to work out some way to work out an equitable solution to your problem. ” “We didn’t create this problem,” the mayor said, “we are trying to find a solution.” “I believe,” Mr. Smoot retorted, “taht it would be in our best interests to go to court and see what the judge has to say. ” r ANNE FURTICK OF RE MAX DYNAMIC REALTY^ * REAL ESTATE IS STILL A GREAT INVESTMENT!!

SATELLITE THE AREAS LEADER IN SALES AND SERVICE FRONT ROYAL, VA 636-1068 “If you want to challenge alleged irregularities,” Mr. Gooch replied, “then you are throwing good money after bad . . . the state would not accept the boundaries if the requirements of legal notice and hearings were not met.” Mr. Smoot also challenged the town’s right to apply its ordinances a house built outside the town boundary. That’s the tradeoff, Mr. Gooch told him. “If you use town land in order to get a building lot. because we give you that right in return you have to be subject to the town's Historic District Ordinance.” After hearing that the Board of Supervisors had agreed “in princple” to the straddle lot solution at its meeting, the council also voiced its unanimous approval. After noting that Mr. Smoot and any other residents with objections to the plan could bring their comments to the public hearing, the council agreed to hold a joint hearing with the Board of Supervisors to take public comment on the plan. No date was set. In bther action, the council: • heard that the Rappahannock National Bank had agreed to low er the rate on the town’s loan to finance the purchase of the library building. Mr. Morehouse explained that, because the bank pays no taxes on a municipal loan, the town should get a break on the rate charged to regular commercial customers. The bank agreed to a two percent reduction on the interest on the $150,000 note. • heard that the Planning Commission had recommended the helicopter ordinance to the council'for adoption, with Mr. Willis dissenting. “After reading in the newspaper of the Federal Aviation Administration’s opinion," Mr. Fisher told the council, “I’d like to get a clarification before a public hearing. It’s silly to advertise for something that we can’t do." “It’s pointless,” Councilman Peter Skowronski agreed, “to go forward without a legal opinion.” • appointed architect Whayne Haffler, a Flint Hill resident, to the Architectural Review Board. Mr. Skowronski, citing his objection to a county resident serving on the board, abstained- ARB chairwoman Willis told the council that Mr. HaffleFs appointment would enable the ARB to get assistance, and possibly grants, from the state’s historic preservation department. • appointed Mark Bailey to the town’s Planning Commission. Mr. Showronski said of Mr. Bailey, “he has lived here all his life, he is willing to work, and I think that he’s a fair person. ” Call 67^-3338 to subscribe « r GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF A LIFETIME A COUNTRY DREAM COME TRUE!

Day, REALTORS Clopton House, Box 126 Washington, Va. 22747 675-3033 ‘ 'The Country Property People' ’ Subdivision Continued from page 1 Wickens reminded the partners that the application must be considered under the existing subdivision ordinance, which is expected to be amended drastically during the coming months. Under its provisions, he said, there are requirements which are not only “onerous” but are not in the best interests of the town, but which must be met nevertheless. The planners’ chief concern was the availability of water, since the town has a moratorium on further expansion of its water system until new supplies are brought on line. Mr. Morehouse replied that he had purchased the.last available tap from the water system, and that the subdivision would be served by one twoinch main running from that tap. The bill would be paid by the subdivision’s homeowners’ association, which will also administer monies levied for maintenance of the road serving the lots. ui mat road, Mr. Morehouse told the planners, it will be a private street, tentatively named “Stuart Street," which will have access restricted to the homeowners whose lots abut the road. He said that the deed for each property will contain language which makes clear the responsibilities of each landowner toward maintenance of the street, to ensure that the town does not “get stuck,” in Mr. Wickens’ words, with the task. The planners also expressed some concern about the plan to locate two of the septic system drainfields on adjoining lots. Mr. Morehouse explained that was necessary because soils on the back south-west portion of the parcel do not drain well and would be a poor location for septic fields. The commissioners agreed to approve the plan, provided that LOMP include a written statement from the Virginia Department of Health that the plan is acceptable under their regulations, and that an easement for the drainfield be included in the deed of each of the lots affected by the drainfield location. “We want to see the language” before the final plat is approved, Mr. Wickens added. One requirement which the commissioners could not waive under the present ordinance is that every subdivision must be built on a 50foot right-of-way, or have sufficient extra land dedicated to provide it. The same requirement was made of Richard Scott when he subdivided a parcel on Piedmont Ave., but was never enforced. The LOMP partners balked, however, when they were told that five feet of frontage along Blue Ridge Ave. would have to be dedicated to the highway department to fulfill the ordinance’s requirement. The problem, Mr. Parrish explained, is that if such a dedicatioh were required and the land subtracted from the 1.5 acre parcels, several lot boundaries would have to be redrawn to make the minimum lot size. Since the town has no intention of widening the road, he said, and indeed could not since neighbors on the other side of the road have not dedicated the necessary additional frontage, such a dedication would be a hardship. Mr. Wickens replied that the ordinance clearly states that all subdivisions must have 50-foot rights-ofway along the state road. Mr. Morehouse suggested that a compromise might be possible by including a reservation of the additional five feet to the homeowners’ association, with the provision that the land be dedicated to the Virginia Department of Transportation if required. In return, the partners agreed, the house sites of the two lots fronting on Blue Ridge Ave. would have a setback of not more than 50 feet from the road. That restriction, Mr. Morehouse explained, would help to preserve the open space on the parcel and the view west toward the mountains from properties along Main St. The commissioners agreed that, although the ordinance also requires curbs and gutters, that provision will likely be changed and voted not to require a bond for those improvements. The LOMP partners agreed to post a bond sufficient to cover the cost of the road into the subdivision, as well as the estimated cost of the utilities. In addition, they agreed that none of the four rear lots served by the road would be transferred from the partners’ ownership until the improvements are completed. With those restrictions and agreements, the planning commission agreed unanimously to approve the preliminary plat of the project as presented. The project will be returned to the commissioners for final approval when the plat of record is ready. Sperryville area — For Sale by Sealed Bids, 20.34 ac., 1 mile north on U.S. 211.

CANNON (703)937-4700 Dumpsters Continued from page 1 “If it keeps being an albatross and keeps costing the county money, we will have to close it,” Col. Bingham said “We have to separate the tires, then they have to be stacked, and then the county has to pay $3 each to have them taken away.” He suggested that the county charge those who leave tires or appliances, noting that the county also pays $300 per load of appliances taken away. “If it’s Rappahannock County trash, you can’t charge to take it,” Mr. Gilkey protested. “That would be double taxation. They would be paying taj^es for the landfill and then pay for the landfill to take the trash.” “On the surface, you’re right,” Col. Bingham said. “We’ve got to see how other counties do it.” He said he knew of people being charged extra to have tires and appliances picked up. “We need to reduce taxes for everyone and make the person who’s generating that kind of trash pay for it.” “I don’t have any problem with what you’ve said in theory,” Mr. Gilkey said. “I went the other day and had four tires put on my truck. I paid him one dollar per tire to keep the old ones. We’re facing this now because we haven’t been in the landfill business before. Every other county around us is facing the same problem.” “The only thing is to start a campaign to do the best we can to minimize it for the next two years,” Col. Bingham said. “We need to talk to people to see how they are solving their problems. Whatever we do will have to be tailored for our specific situation. We need to start right now so when the three-year contract is over, we already know what our decision is going to be.” “I would be in favor of holding meetings in each district,” Mr. Gilkey said. “Tell them what we want them to do.” 1 Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 At the end of state road and adjoining the Shenandoah National Park, 3 bedroom 2 bath rambler on 2 acres. $98,000.
