In the background is one of Santa’s helpers. request is tabled Supervisors ask for more time to consider 131 acre rezoning By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors’ public hearing Monday evening on Emiel and Lynda Smet’s request to rezone their farm for the Windemeer Estates subdivision brought testimony similar to that heard by the Planning Commission last month. The 131-acre parcel is located on the east side of Route 642 in Amissville, less than one mile south of its intersection with U.S. 211 at Hackley’s Store. Presently, most of the property is zoned Agricultural, with 25-acre minimum lots, while a small piece on the northern boundary is zoned R-2, which could be subdivided into two-acre lots. The Smets are asking the county to rezone the entire parcel to R-5, which would allow residential development of five-acre lots. Mr. Smet said his proposal is to split the property into nine lots of at least 10 acres each, with another lot of at least 25 acres. He also requested the option to subdivide one additional lot at some time in the future. Though the rezoning would allow five-acre lots, the Smets have offered voluntary deed restrictions, known as proffers, which would limit the size of each lot to at least 10 acres. They have also proposed to include covenants in each deed requiring any house to be at least 2,500 square feet, that utilities and any fuel storage tanks (such as heating oil) be buried, that satellite dish antennas be screened and all fencing be of board and that all trailers and recreational vehicles be stored in garages. The rezoning request drew the support of all but one speaker at the Planning Commission’s hearing Nov. 15. Flint Hill resident Phil Irwin criticized the plan, saying that the additional residential development would place a burden on the county to provide services. The planners recommended that the rezoning be denied, maintaining that the 10-acre proffer creates a new zoning classification which contravenes the county’s Comprehensive Plan. The planners also said they feared the precedent of allowing large-lot residential development on such a large parcel on the edge of a village area. Another concern voiced by the Planning Commission was the fact that there are at least 87 undeveloped small lots in the Amissville area, although not all may be suitable for development due to poor soil and slope restrictions. At the Board of Supervisors’ hearing, Bob Johnson said he and his wife Barbara are building a house on 10 acres that is zoned R-2. “We have no intention of carving it up into two-acre lots,” he said. “Mr. Smet’s proposal is a good proposal; it's reasonable; it doesn’t place any burden on the county.” James Ryan said, “Mr. Smet’s proposal is something Amissville should have instead of cluster zoning. It will bring in people that can afford it and not put a strain on the county budget and services, especially schools. I believe you should consider Mr. Smet’s proposal and vote for it.” Alpine Bird said their land bordered Mr. Smet’s land on the west. “I would like to see it stay in agriculture,” she said. “But I don’t believe that will happen. I support this proposal for orderly development.” See SMET, p. 14 Gypsy moth spray plan approved for county By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors approved 3-1, with one abstention, spraying for the gypsy moth in the southern third of the county that is covered by the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management (AIPM) program, but postponed taking action on other controversial matters at their meeting Monday. The application for rezoning the Smet property, the request by Adelphia Cable Communications to submit a proposal for a cable TV francise and the request of the Community Services Board for a resolution in support of its budget were all tabled for one month. Most of the county is not included in the AIPM study, which qualifies for 100 percent Federal funding of the cost of spraying for the gypsy moth. The rest of the county could qualify for a cost-share spraying program, in which 50 percent of the money would be Federal, 25 percent would be covered by the state and 25 percent would be a local responsibility, but it is now too late to qualify for that program for the 1990 gypsy moth season. Gypsy moth coordinator Mary Dobrovir said that all the areas she studied as part of the AIPM study had more than 1,000 egg cases per acre. That means that the entire area of the county that is part of the study qualifies for the Federal program, but only forested areas would be sprayed. Landowners whose land is eligible for the program will be notified and offered the option of opting out if they do not wish to have their land sprayed. Two types of spray have commonly been used against the gypsy moth. Bt (Bacillus thuringienses) is a bacteriological disease which paralyses the caterpillar’s digestive system. It affects any leaf-chewing caterpillars which ingest it. Since gypsy moth caterpillars hatch out earlier than most others, Bt can be specific for the gypsy moth if used early enough in the season. Dimilin is a chemical spray which interferes with insects’ forming exoskeletons as they moult. It can affect crustaceans and is not recommended for use over open water, where it could affect the food supply of fish. Tom Cary, assistant supervisor for the Virginia Department of Agriculture, who has worked on the AIPM study, said Dimilin was not recommended for use east of the Blue Ridge because of its potential harm to fish during the past year. He.said he did not know w'hich spray would be recommended this year. Mr. Cary said whenever there is a large rise in the gypsy moth population, as there was in Rappahannock this year, the population will eventually crash, but the moths will come back. He said a variety of predator species take a toll on the caterpillars and moths, and there is a substantial population of predators in Rappahannock. Town's planners recommend denial of subdivision request By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer . In a unanimous vote, the Town of Washington’s Planning Commission recommended denial of LOMP Joint Venture’s application for subdivision of the former Stuart property behind the corner of Main St. and Blue Ridge Ave. The planners based their recommendation on the current subdivision ordinance’s mandate that septic fields be on the same lot which they serve. Three of the septic fields in the proposed subdivision are on adjoining lots, due to poor soils on part of the parcel. The Planning Commission also cited the lack of certain documents requested last month and promised by the applicants, including the articles of incorporation of a homeowners’ association to oversee maintenance of Stuart ,St., the private road which will allow access to the subdivision. Chairman William Wickens also noted that the required estimate of the cost of improvements to the street, necessary to set the amount of a performance band, and the Health Department certification of the proposed septic fields, was also missing. Robert Parrish, one of the LOMP partners, told the planners the group intends to comply with all the commission’s requests. He asked if the planners would recommend approval “contingent on tying up the loose ends. Particularly since you won’t meet for two months, we are under some constraints in financing.” “We have all this informa- ■ tion," he explained, “and we fully intend to comply with the requirements of the Planning Commission.” However, he added, Dean Morehouse, another partner, was unable to get back into town for the meeting. The partnership includes Mr. Parrish and his wife Susan, Mr. Morehouse and his wife Linda, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, the owners of The Inn at Little Washington. Mr. Wickens replied that, under the ordinance, the planners “must act tonight” or the application would receive approval by default. “I don’t want to vote ‘if when we don’t meet before the ‘if happens.” And, he added, “The fact that the mayor and one member of the town council are partners doesn’t mean they get favored treatment . . . the fact that they are public officials means they should be even more conscious of the ordinance than other applicants . . . We hold the people in town strictly to the ordinance. We cannot waive it for the favored few and enforce it for the unfavored many.” Mr. Morehouse is the town’s mayor, Mr. Lynch serves on the Town Council, Mr. Parrish is a member of its Architectural Review Board and his wife is a member of the Planning Commission. Planner Arthur Neufeld seconded Mr. Wickens’ concern about the missing information. “Dean stood in front of this meeting last month and told us, ‘No problem, you’ll have the information in a day.’ Well, it’s not here.” “Dean has a lot on his mind,” Mr. Parrish said. “We all do,” Mr. Neufeld replied. Mr. Neufeld also expressed reservations about the applicants’ “Chinese meal” approach to the subdivision ordinance. Noting that if the new ordinance is approved, at least two of the lots will be undersized, he said it SeeLOMP, p. 13 “I’d like to see us go ahead and set up the spray blocks and notify people we’re going to spray,” said Robert Anderson, representative for Stonewall-Hawthom District, which includes the area covered by the AI PM study. “I see no problem if we try the program at no cost to the county,” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. “If we see it is effective, we can use it for a pilot program,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham suggested. He said the rest of the county could participate in the cost share program the following year. “Would the county have to hire somebody else to help with this?” Mrs. Dobrovir asked. County Administrator John McCarthy said that although the landowners could pay the county's share of the spraying, the county would still have the overhead expense of hiring a full-time coordinator. Supervisor chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that in the past the supervisors had adopted a policy of "not spraying private lumber with other Rappahannock taxpayers’ money.” On Mr. Anderson’s motion to start the program in the AIPM area, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Gilkey and Mr. Estes See SUPERVISORS, p. 14 Cafe's sign approved but lighting on hold By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Both David Huff, who applied for approval of a sicn for his Country Cafe restaurant, and the Uhrichs, who want to fence the yard of their home on Blue Ridge Ave., will be back for further consideration of their requests by Washington’s Architectural Review Board. Mr. Huffs sign, which was already hung, was approved by the board. He explained that he did not realize approval was required before the sign was put up. Mr. Huff agreed to research alternatives to the lighting design he submitted to the board. ARB member Patrick O’Connell offered to call the contractor who lighted his business, The Inn at Little Washington, to see if he would be willing to consult on an idea. “Then you could take his ideas and use the advice or not. Feel free to do it yourself,” he told Mr. Huff. Mr. O’Connell, Mr. Huff and the other ARB members agreed that the best solution would be comprehensive, involving lights tor Mr. Huffs restaurant, the Post Office and Trinity Episcopal Church’s parking lot across the street. However, Mr. Huff reminded the ARB members that he wants to get the lighting installed soon, because without outside lights the restaurant looks closed after dark. He said he would return with further ideas at the December meeting. The Uhrichs, who did not attend the meeting, also received approval for their fence, contingent on the understanding that it is a standard picket fence, with the stipulation that a photograph or catalog illustration and specifications be submitted. The ARB tabled any action on the request for approval See ARB, p. 13

SCC approves PE rate hike RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has approved a request by Potomac Edison to increase its fuel factor beginning Dec. 1. The fuel factor is the portion of a customer’s bill which pays for the fuel needed to generate electricity. Oct. 16, the company filed an application with the Commission to increase the fuel factor from .945 cents per kilowatt'-hour (c/kwh) to 1.133 c/kwh. The Commission found the request to be reasonable. For a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month, the bill will increase by $1.88, from $58.83 to $60.71. This represents an increase of 3.2 percent. Potomac Edison, provides electric service to approximately 67,000 customers in 14 northwestern Virginia counties, including Rappahannock.

Hoop scrimmages prove valuable By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New. Staff Writer With two pre-season scrimmages under their belts, the Panthers began their basketball season Wednesday at home. Coach Gary Leake called the two scrimmages invaluable in the team’s progress toward opening night. Though the Panthers lost their first outing against AA-rated Warren County on Nov.~28, Coach Leake said his team learned from their mistakes, making the experience more valuable, perhaps, than even a win would have been. “We played it like a first scrimmage, using it to detect our strengths and weaknesses. It accomplished that purpose.” The Panthers lost by eight points, but Coach Leake explained part of the difference was due to Warren County playing its top eight players, while Rappahannock played all 16 of its squad’s players. “He was trying to cement his starters, while I wanted to see what everyone could do in a game situation.” The game was videotaped, and 1 1/2 hours of the next day’s practice was spent reviewing the game film. The review is “a very important part of learning,” Coach Leake explained, “as important as participation in the practice drills.” The coach said his players were “really into it,” and offered self-critical comments during the film review. Watching themselves play, the Panthers saw their mistakes for themselves, rather than having someone else tell them about it. The review apparently paid off, as the Panthers defeated Shenandoah Valley Academy 7655 on Dec. 1 in their second scrimmage. Paul Hitt contributed 13 points, followed by Boddy Jenkins and Francisco Vincente with 12 each. Team captains Benji Roy and Julian Groves added 10 each, and James Roy contributed another nine points. “I was real satisfied with the balance in the scoring,” Coach Leake said, noting that the team shot 55 percent from the floor. Bill Atkins had his best scrimmage, “one of the best all-around games of his career.” And Vincente, the big senior exchange Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan LEADING THE PANTHER OFFENSE, Paul Hitt contributed 13 points to Rappahannock’s scrimmage win over Shenandoah Valley Academy last Thursday. student from Spain, “had an outstanding game with seven rebounds. He showed great confidence on offense.” Friday’s review of the game videotape “was a lot more pleasant,” the coach added. “We polished the fundamentals we didn’t execute so well against Warren County.” The team’s strengths, he said, are its shot selection and balanced scoring, poise on offense and aggressive defensive play. Asked about weaknesses, the coach identified unnecessary fouling and weakness in picking up rebounds. With two games on the road next week against Clarke County (Dec. 8) and Luray (Dec. 12), the Panthers face their biggest game at home against Central on Dec. 15. Central, Coach Leake noted, has two starters who have averaged 36 points each game. “They offer a real one-two punch.” • “Being just the end of November, I’m real pleased,” Coach Leake said, “especially with our shot selection and balanced scoring.” If the Panthers can keep their scoring average high throughout the season, they have a chance at the district title, he predicted. “We need to average 70 points a game — being able to score and able to average is the important difference.” Extension Homemakers offer memberships By JANET EASTHAM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Did you know that Virginia Extension Homemakers Clubs have a program for H.O.M.E. membership (Home Optional Membership for Education)? H.O.M.E. is open to all who wish to become affiliated with Extension Homemakers Clubs, but who are unable to participate on a regular basis.

Evaluators give schools high marks By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The school administration and the staff of both schools breathed a collective sign of relief when the state Department of Education’s Administrative Review Team and the High School Visiting Committee departed from the county last Friday. Months of activity had gone into preparing for the visits, but school system employees felt it had been worthwhile when the Administrative Review Team gave the administration an overall grade of 95, compared to a score in the mid-80s five years ago, and the High School Visiting Committee left saying they had gained a wealth of ideas to take back to their own schools and leaving a host of commendations and recommendations. High School Principal John Toth was quick to give Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell credit for the success of the administrative review. “Prior planning prevents poor performance,” he said. “All the administrators want to express thenappreciation for the planning and organization of Bob Chappell. A lot of after-hours work and time on weekends and during Thanksgiving vacation went into this. I’m very pleased we did what we did, now that it’s over. The staff and faculty really pulled together, and the kids too; it’s been a real team effort.” The administrative review got underway Monday evening with a public hearing, but the public didn’t turn out. Along with school systememployees and the press, one parent was in the audience Monday evening. He asked for a copy of the survey form to fill out. When Administrative Review Coordinator Andrea Chisick asked for comments or concerns, no one spoke up and the public hearing was closed. A few minutes later Laurie Marshall came in, learned that the hearing was over and asked if she could speak with Miss Chisick and Melvin Campbell, vocational education specialist from the Radford office of the State Department of Education and Associate Director of the Administrative Review Service. Ms. Marshall told the two committee members that the school administration was much more open to opportunities for the children to experience learning in creative ways than it had been 10 years ago, when she worked for the school system as the first coordinator of programs for the gifted and talented. However, Ms. Marshall told the evaluators, she feels that there is still too much emphasis on “controlling the children rather than challenging them,” and that teachers felt pressure to cover the material in the books. “The books and ditto sheets aren’t what should be taught; the children should be taught,” she said. “If we are going to develop intellec Ruffled Curtains Christmas Gift Ideas Place Mats Tablecovers Chair Pads Lampshades Toss Pillows Fabric Wreaths and much more.

On it they were supposed to circle the words, such as Aunt Mary, Uncle Ben, and Washington that were supposed to be capitalized. “If the class, as part of a writing assignment, were to write down all the names of their aunts and uncles and use them in a story, they would have more fun, and they would understand why they are supposed to capitalize people’s names,” she said. Ms. Marshall suggested that there should be more emphasis on teachers sharing ideas with each other, on involving parents and on using older children to teach younger ones. Vinnie Carney also arrived late, having come from an interview as a community leader with other members of the Administrative Review Team. She said that after reading what the team was checking for, “It doesn’t sound like Virginia is send1'nor anvnnp tn pnllorro Ynn Vi9vcnp. rial assistants for everything else, why not one to encourage further education? When the state only asks for the basics, you’re not going to feet much higher.” Miss Chisick replied that school systems were free to ask for more, but the team could only check on the Standards of Quality, “what the state is going to hind. ” The nine members of the Administrative Review Team spent the rest of the week interviewing administrators, special education teachers, Chapter One teachers and the guidance director and librarian at the elementary school, checking numerous records and making classroom visits in the elementary school. They left to the High School Visiting . Team the jobs of interviewing the guidance and library staff there and visiting high school classrooms. In preparation for the team’s visit, the high school staff had spent much of last year and this preparing a self-study. It includes a description of the community, a statement of philosophy, an analysis of the overall curriculum, auxiliary services, guidance services, student activities, the facilities, the staff and administration and the strengths and weaknesses of each department. That study was ready when the visiting team arrived Tuesday. By the time the visiting team left Friday, its members had prepared a re port that listed commendations and recommendations in most of those areas. The commendations mostly concerned good cooperation between the community, students, teachers and administrators, clean appearance of the school, family atmosphere in the school, the relative lack o{~ discipline problems in the school and the use of computers by students. The recommendations fell into several categories. Ther§, were recommendations that the school provide a full-time library aide and fulltime guidance secretary. The team recommended that the school consider offering several additional courses: Spanish as a second modem foreign language, engineering for juniors and seniors in the technology education department, p.ublic speaking, world history as a two-year course, music appreciation, another period of art, business computer applications, applied physical science and consumer chemistry for the nonacademic science students and driver education behind-the-wheel during school hours. i ney also recommended tnat me school consider adding football, junior varsity baseball and debate as extracurricular activities. Another group of recommendations concerned the physical plant. With the addition complete, the school still finds itself short of storage space. In some cases areas that were intended for storage were instead used as classrooms; also, several storage areas are simply empty spaces in need of shelving and cabinet work. They also recommended that the school system consider air-conditioning the building and renovating the earth-science room to make a more adequate laboratory. Other recommendations concerning the physical plant were to try to provide even, controllable heat to all classrooms, hot water where needed when the furnace is not operating and more lighting, especially in part of the shop room. Another series of recommendations concerns the repair and replacement of equipment, and acquiring more equipment. Additional computers were recommended for technology education, social studies and business education. The report recommends a larger budget and a more organized system to repair and replace equipment, Other recommendations were that a guidance counsellor be employed to work during the month of July, and more career counselling.

Mon -Fri Published by Arundel Newspapers Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7,1989 A good compromise During the Board of Supervisors’ public hearing on Lynda and Emiel’s request for the rezoning of 131 acres on Route 642 in Amissville, County Administrator John McCarthy offered a suggestion for compromise. Rather than rezone the entire property to five-acre residential, Mr. McCarthy proposed leaving a “buffer strip” on the southern boundary which would remain in 25-acre Agriculture zoning. That, he explained, would provide a gradual transition from the denser residential zoning in and around the village area to the more wide-open agricultural zoning in the surrounding countryside. The community has expressed unanimous support for the Smets’ plan through testimony offered at the two public hearings on the application. The feelings of the neighbors and the residents of Amissville deserve consideration in the board’s deliberations. The county’s officials have expressed valid concerns over the precedent which might be set by the rezoning, specifically what recourse the county might have when the next application comes in for a less suitable parcel of land. However, Mr. McCarthy’s compromise seems to address some of the concerns over that precedent — by providing a transition zone from the village to the agricultural area surrounding it. Spirit of cooperation On Monday morning, an incident happened which points » up the volunteer spirit and community service which sets our ' county apart. Members of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department had just completed a rescue call, delivering a patient to the * Emergency Department at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Meanwhile, the volunteers in Culpeper County were swamped with two medical emergencies and an auto accident, all of which happened within 10 minutes. The Amissville volunteers, realizing their Culpeper comrades might need some help, called the dispatcher and offered to take one of the calls, relieving some of the burden. They could have just gone on back to their station. They had no duty or responsibility to assist in that area. But they didn’t. Because of their extra effort, a patient in need of care probably got needed medical attention a few minutes sooner. That’s the kind of community spirit President Bush had in mind when he spoke of “a thousand points of light.” Those volunteers represent one of those points.

Letters to the editor She made a difference To the editor: In the years my family and I have lived in Rappahannock County we have found many things to be grateful about. One of the nice things about our county is that here individual people can do and make the effort to improve the quality of the lives we live. I would like to extend the thanks of myself, and my family, to one such individual. That is Vinnie Carney who for the past two years has undertaken the task of masterminding the birth and development of the Rappahannnock Soccer League. As a parent I am grateful that Vinnie has devoted the time and effort to produce this league which has given my sons a great deal of enjoyment. Their participation in the county soccer league has given both of them many hours of exercise and introduced them to many new friends. It has also, I think, taught them good lessons about life. As an individual I am grateful to Vinnie for the opportunity to watch so many children running around having a good time. I have also enjoyed watching the physical skills our children have developed in the short time that they have been playing this game. Vinnie, thank you very much. I know that you had a great deal of help, but without your involvement I doubt that our county would have such a successful soccer program. ANNE KERR Castleton Thanks for support To the editor: The Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank all of the people that supported us during our annual shooting match. We hope everyone enjoyed it and we appreciate your support. CATHY LANE Secretary, CCVFD Castleton Thanks for the gift of life To the editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Extension Homemaker Clubs, we would like to thank everyone in the community who supported the American Red Cross Bloodmobile on Nov. 27. Thirty-one people attended; four were medically deferred, resulting in 27 pints of blood that were collected and given to the American Red Cross. This “gift of life — blood” is especially needed during the holiday season when many people are traveling and accidents are more likely to occur. The Extension Homemakers are happy to sponsor the Bloodmobile in Rappahannock County as a community service project, since promoting good health and nutrition is one of our educational objectives. The next Bloodmobile is scheduled during the first week in May to coincide with National Extension Homemakers Week. We hope you’ll support us then, too. We would especially like to thank the Washington Volunteer Fire Department for providing a place for the Bloodmobile. Their facility is spacious and adjacent to the highway, making it very convenient for people to participate. Thank you again for your support of this worthwhile project. MARIE DAVIS, PRES. Rappahannock Co. E.H.C. HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Editor’s note: If county residents are willing to donate blood more often, it is possible that additional Bloodmobiles may be scheduled. Mrs. Davis asks that % any residents uniting to donate more frequently or assist at Bloodmobile visits, call the county Extension Office, 6753619 \ Democratic celebration tempered by redistricting dilemma By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer J Amid Democratic jubilation over o another apparent clean sweep in statewide elections, there may be at least some slight portent of future problems. t Republicans picked up four seats * in the House of Delegates, bringing their total to a record 39. And with a considerable number of veteran conservative Democratic delegates growing older and nearing inevitable retirement, Republicans have a reasonably good chance of re0 placing them, given the present configuration of their districts. But 1991 redistricting is a cold reality that looms ahead for the GOP, and, despite their impressive House numbers, with a Democratic „ governor and a Democratic legis« lative majority, the party can expect * a hatchet job to be done on it. Once new boundaries have been drawn, some of them undoubtedly < lumping Republican incumbents into « the same districts, it is difficult to * see how the GOP can take control of « the House of Delegates by the time a " new century rolls around. Yet the redistricting process * may also pose a ticklish situation for > the Democratic Party that will call the tune. Because of rapid population growth, Virginia will get an ad4 ditional congressional district, * raising the total from 10 to 11. * The historic election of L. Douglas Wilder as governor can only in Old Dominion Politics crease pressure by black Democrats for the creation of a majority black district in the Norfolk-Tide water area. After all, the argument will go, if the state’s chief executive is black, then why shouldn’t at least one of its 11 members of Congress be black, to reflect, in part, the 17 percent of Virginia’s population that is black. For state Democratic legislators accustomed to getting nearly all the black vote when up for election, that kind of argument may be hard to resist. But outside the province of black state legislators and the black community, there is little sentiment among Democrats for a black majority district, not because white Democrats would have any problem with the election of a black Virginian to the House of Representatives, but because of purely pragmatic reasons. First, it would appear possible to create a viable black majority district only in the Norfolk-Tidewater area. If that were done, it would take away much of the black vote i like *T.. I REDISTRICTING MAP /<///////yy/yy /yy yy/y yy /////////////////y from Rep. Owen Pickett, who now represents the 2nd District, and could possibly harm Rep. Norman Sisisky, who represents the 4th Dis trict. Both are Democrats. It could also strengthen Republican Rep. Herbert Bateman in the 1st District and possibly have other adverse consequences for Democrats. Secondly, a black majority district in Tidewater might skew the rest of the congressional redistricting process. Northern Virginia Democrats, with much logic on their side, think the new 11th District should come largely from that region, which has had by far the fastest growth in population during the past decade. They feel the region is entitled to three members of Congress who reside there, rather than the present two. And they are apt to fight strongly for that point of view when the time comes. Gov. Wilder will face a stem test if he has to choose up sides on the issue. Staunch supporters like Del. William Robinson of Norfolk and State Sen. Bobby Scott of Newport News, blacks who might have some congressional aspirations of their own, will probably ask for a gubernatorial endorsement of a black majority district. But as the head of his party, Gov. Wilder will also have to consider the consequences that might result from such an action, including a possible net loss of a congressional seat to Democrats in the 1992 election. That would be a supreme irony, considering the fact Democrats will have total control of the redistricting process. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. Fre7tch Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed gre his own.

Drunk driving is everyone's business By JERRY R. CURRY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Every 22 minutes, a life is lost in an alcohol-related traffic crash. Many of these deaths were unsuspecting victims — a non-drinking driver, passenger, pedestrian or bicyclist. These victims were not “the otner guy.” They were the husbands, wives, children, friends and family of people just like you or me. You might feel that because you do not drink and drive, drunk and drugged driving is not your problem. But drinking and driving not only kills the drunk driver — it can kill you, too. That makes drunk and drugged driving everyone’s problem. You may ask, “How can I stop someone else from driving drunk? It’s really none of my business.” If we want to stop this problem, we can no longer accept the rea I Opinion soning that “it’s none of my business.” It is our business. People like you and I die every day because someone thought it was none of his or her business to stop someone else from driving drunk. Mothers, children, friends or husbands die every day because society tacitly accepts this attitude. There are ways to make it our business without embarrassing ourselves or others. The most practical and effective way is to accept responsibility for your own actions by always choosing or “designating” a non-drinking driver before you go out for the evening. Increasingly, people are finding this to be a good Agriculture called crucial to Poland's existence By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer William Dietel of Flint Hill, president of the Foundation for the Development of Polish Agriculture, spoke at the Gay St. Theater last Friday, Dec. 1, on the economic and social conditions in Poland, focusing on agriculture. He said that many of the problems facing the Polish people are similar to those associated with underdeveloped countries, even though Poland is the largest and most populous of the Eastern European countries. Information and its dissemination are limited among farmers, Mr. Dietel said, because the government has not instituted an extension service comparable to our own, nor has it developed a substitute. Statistical, information is wanting, so that realistic descriptions of needs are impossible. Poor transportation hampers distribution of food and necessities, and supplies of fuel, machine parts, fertilizer and other farm needs are in short supply or nonexistent. Farm credit is unavailable, and a short growing season makes it impossible to produce late-season crops like com and soy beans. These are only a sample of the obstacles which must be overcome, the conditions that must be or that limit successful exploitation of agriculture, which Mr. Dietel said everyone agrees is fundamental to Poland’s economic development. Advantages exist, however, Mr. Dietel added. There are many small farmers who own their own land and who are skilled. There is a tradition of pork and poultry production, and good. breeding stocks are present. The Polish people are hard-working, patient and persevering. There is wide international interest in helping economic development in Poland, but the assistance needs to be coordinated and planned so that it occurs in a timely, rational and significant way, Mr. Dietel stressed. He described Solidarity, which began as a labor organization, as an amalgam of many interests and groups that will eventually display the sort of factionalism that we and other representative governments understand. The new government in Poland is, in effect, attempting to reconstitute a society where the Roman Catholic Church has been a signally important organizing influence, in spite of years of domination by the Communist Party, and it will remain so. The new officials, primarily with academic backgrounds, lack experience in public administration, management and politics, Mr. Dietel noted. Mr. Dietel discussed and answered questions, dealing also with topics including the effects on agriculture of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, other pollution, population stabilization and education. At 7:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 8, also at the Gay St. Theater, John Kiser of Slate Mills will discuss his experiences and observations as a businessman relative to conditions in other parts of Eastern Europe.

As more and more people begin to adopt this new attitude, public opinion will no longer treat drunk driving as “none of my business.” We all have it in our power to stop drunk and drugged driving. We can pledge not to drink and drive ourselves, and to designate a nondrinking driver before the party starts. And there will be times when we may have to make our friends’ actions “our business” too. Don’t let someone who is drunk get into a car and drive home. It may be uncomfortable to take someone’s keys — but it may be the biggest favor anyone will ever do for him or her. A good time to start this new way of thinking will be during Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week, Dec. 10-16. This annual event will highlight the problem and remind us all of our opportunity and responsibility to eliminate drunk and drugged driving. As the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, I’d like to encourage you to join me in taking part in this special week. Let’s all pitch in during Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week and year ’round to get this number-one killer off our roads. We owe it to ourselves and to our loved ones.

Tune ups & Repairs Sperryvllle Pike 703/829-8166 Attend Church Sunday This week’s message brought to you courtesy of: Merlin Shorb Rappahannock Methodist Charge Willis Chapel, Sperryville, Flint Hill GOD'S JUDGEMENT Most of us react with fear to the prospect of judgement Sometimes we observe the law out of fear. Such a fear can help to maintain order. But too often we visualize God's judgements as larger versions of our own, which assumes we write the rules instead of God. The forces of nature that threaten our existence are labeled "acts of God." Even we modems who no longer equate God with the created order find ourselves interpreting natural disaster as God's "whip." We claim to see God in the spectacular and tragic, but fail to recognize God's handiwork in the routine. I feel we need to be aware of a biblical view of judgement. When confronted with an obviously guilty person, Jesus refused to judge. (John 8:11) His whips were not for people, but for livestock. (John 2:15) His rebukes were directed at a threatening storm (MatL 8:26) or an illness (Luke 4:35) or an oppressive spirit. (Mark 9:25) Even when judgment is passed on an individual we read that the intention is remedial. (Gal. 6:1) We also find that the "prince" of the world's system (John 14:30), not God, is the one responsible for the unruly elements. He is appropriately named "the price of the power of the air." (Eph. 2:2) And it is against this rebellious prince that God's judgement is directed. (John 16:11) In the end it was Jesus, not us, who became the "condemned" of the Gospel story. (Luke 24:20) And it was his jealous accusers, not God, who did the judging. All this is not to say that God will not judge us. Our Scriptures faithfully affirm that God is Judge. What we do say is that Christ and his church are in the posture of refusing to judge before the time. The Day of Judgment is not yet here. We must reserve judgment in the meantime. Also, God alone has the right to judge, along with those in whom he has vested that authority. (John 5:27) Frankly, we don't have the right to pass judgment. We only see things as they appear to be. (John 7:24) Our assumptions are not valid. Only God is aware of all the factors. Only God knows human hearts. (Jer. 17:9-10) As sinful humans we are already under the wrath of God. (John 3:36) But because none of us are innocent, then none of us are disqualified from God's mercy. (Rom. 11:32) God's anger is directed against sin, not the sinner; against the offense, not the offender. By contrast, human anger does not serve the purposes of God. (Jas. 1:20) At the Judgment the wrath of God will be felt by the disobedient, but only because they preferred to nurse their anger. We are finally "rescued" from the wrath of God by the sacrifice of Jesus. (1 Thess. 1:10) God himself prefers that we be saved from wrath. (1 Thess. 5:9) But God will not compromise our right to choose. Our destiny lies squarely in our own hands. Tragically, we can choose to live without God and suffer eternal loss. Heaven and hell are necessary options in a moral universe. The comforting feature of God's judging is that God is completely fair. Life in this world is not fair, but God is. The Lord can be depended on to bring justice at last to the human family. As in Creation, God promises eventually to bring order out of chaos. Meanwhile, God can bring order to our lives through faith in Christ GLASCOCK’S CARPET SHOP “Where Quality Comes First” Carpet — Vinyl — Hardwood — Tile Rt. 29 North Culpeper, Virginia 703/825-0423 4CONVALESS The Plains Pharmacy Home Health Equipment The Plains, VA. 22171 (703)253-5275 (800)237-5717 (Vs Only) ABERDEEN BARN Steaks - SMfood • Prim* Rib Banquets • Luncheons In the Holiday Inn ot Culpeper 703-825-1037 COMMONWEALTH CORPORATION Lumber A Building Supplied 424 Manassas St. Front Roy a. 703-635-2176 Jimmie s Auto Parts Complete line of foreign fit domestic parts. 161 Saunders St. • Culpeper 703/825-8030 THi PAINT BUCKET Quality Paints & Wallcoverings N.

Congratulations to Paul and Martha Cooper on the birth of a baby boy in Jacksonville, Fla. Paul is a Make holidays happy with healthy cooking By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent Home Economics Holidays are wonderful times for cooking, baking and entertaining. Yet in these days of health-consciousness and fitness, we may need to rethink what we eat and serve and give. Many families have at least one person on a special diet, such as low sodium, low cholesterol, low calorie or diabetic. People are seeking ways to enjoy and participate in the festivities without overindulging. Here are some guidelines for healthy holiday entertaining: • Plan holiday celebrations around activities, as well as food. When it’s a day-long get-together, include active recreation — outdoors, if possible. • • Remember to use more healthy ingredients whenever possible in your regular recipes. For example, substitute evaporated skim milk for evaporated whole milk in desserts. If you’re concerned about cholesterol, you can use two egg whites in place of one egg in most recipes. • Keep an eye on portion size. Someone who weighs 125 pounds can’t consume the same-size portion as someone who weighs 160 pounds without gaining weight. Don’t fall prey to the common habit of eating the same-size portion as your husband or friend . . . especially if he or she is bigger than you. • Earn your weekend fun. If you know you’ll be partying, compensate for those extra calories by eating lighter meals the week before. • Remove fat from soups and stews by chilling first, then skimming hardened fat off the top. • Learn to steam and stir-fry vegetables. For flavor, add herbs, onions, broth and citrus juice instead of salt. • Sprinkle salads with lemon or lime juice or flavored vinegars instead of oil-based dressings. • Find your hidden calories. Tasting the baby’s food or taste-testing as you cook, these add up. • Drink eight glasses of fluids each day. Try a twist of lemon in iced water or iced herbal teas for variety. • Offer a variety of desserts to your holiday guests. Serve the traditional fruitcake and cookies for those people who are not watching their calories, but serve fresh fruit as an alternative for those who are. Celebrating with good food doesn’t need to mean misery and excess pounds or danger to one’s health. Take control and make sensible choices during the holidays, and the New Year will find you healthy and happy. Call ®fjt l&appatjannocfe i)etos at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos.

A note about this column “Upcoming events” is a listing of activities in Rappahannock and surrounding counties, published as a community service to our readers. Due to the increasing demand on the space, we request that submissions be limited to the basic information about the activity: who, what, when and where. Rather than detail, we suggest that a telephone number “for further information” be provided for interested readers. As many listings will be published as space allows, however it is occasionally necessary to omit some events to accomodate other activities. Priority will be given to those items which have not appeared before.

Moving Arts Inc. will present Ballet South, under the direction of internationally acclaimed teacher and dancer Dame Sonia Arova, in their performance of “The Nutcracker,” 8 p.m., Dec. 8, and 2 p.m., Dec. 9, at Fauquier High School, located on 705 Waterloo Road, Warrenton, Va. Tchaikovsky’s most memorable composition is based on O.T.A. Hoffman’s story of “The Nutcracker.”, This production, hailed by Baryshnikov as “talented, energetic and with determination,” will delight the audience with candy canes that dance, toy soldiers who come to life, and athletic Russians who twist and tumble in a lively display. Starring in the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy will be Ballet South principal dancer Donna Lutz Christian. Ms. Christian has studied with the School of American Ballet, Ballet West, and is a graduate of Ala bama School of Fine Arts. David Moore will appear as Prince Marpipan with Ms. Christian. A former principal with the New York City Ballet, Moore has performed lead roles in ballets of Baryshnikov, Balanchine, Jerome Robbins and Twyla Tharp. While dancing with the New York company, he was frequently teamed with principal dancers Heather Watts and Patricia McBride. Also featured on the program will be Patrick Badua, who recently was awarded the Silver Medal in Dance in Paris. Mr. Badua is, in fact, the only American to win such an award. Choregrapher Thor Sutkowski will present 20 professional dancers and apprentices in this production, along with local children. These children, selected in October, are rehearsing under local choreographer Judi Lieberman. For the finest in holiday entertainment, don’t miss Ballet South in “The Nutcracker.” Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and may be purchased in advance at Color Collections, 70 Main Street, Warrenton; The Fauquier National Bank, Courthouse Square, Warrenton; Liberty Savings Bank, Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, and Panorama Travel, Grant Shopping Center, Warrenton. A special option for ballet lovers is reserved seating, Friday, Dec. 8, and a reception following the performance with the dance company at Fauquier High School. The price for this unique evening is $25 per person. Those interested in attending may call 703-349-1726 to reserve tickets, or mail their check to Moving Arts Inc. This performance is being made possible in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, as well as by local support from Fauquier County Parks and Recreation. General admission and reserved seating-reception tickets may be obtained by mail through Moving Arts Inc., P.O. Box 32, Warrenton, Va. 22186. For group rates and other information, interested persons may call Moving Arts at 703-349-1726. Holiday shopping at county library By DIANE GREEN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer No doubt about it, the Christmas season is well underway. If you are looking for some extraordinary gifts to finish out your shopping list, you should visit the Rappahannock County Library. One of the all-time favorite items you can purchase is “Flossie’s Recipes.” An attractively-bound cookbook, it sells for $9.95. Also available and equally attractive is the “Rappahannock Woman’s Club Cookbook,” selling for $6.95. Both books feature a variety of mouth-watering recipes. For history buffs, “Rappahannock County, Va. History” is offered at $19.95. A handsomely-bound hardback, it provides a comprehensive view of the county; tracing its origin back to the 1600s, The authors, Elisabeth Johnson and C.E. Johnson Jr., combine just the right amount of fact and humor to produce an entertaining but informative way to discover Rappahannock’s past. If you want to skip some of the history and get down to just plain fun, “Ned’s Tales of Rappahannock” (hilarious excerpts taken from the Rappahannock County history book) can be purchased, soft-bound, for only $2. Also for sale is a selection of stationery and maps featuring local historical buildings and points of interest. These sell for prices ranging from 30 cents to $6. Sponsored by the Historical Society, they would make a unique gift for any age. December almanac The twelfth month promises temperatures that are average, with precipitation registering below average. Weather Watch: Look for a windy and cold period, 1-5, followed by snow or rain, 6-8. We call for more snow or rain, 20-22, and again, 26, 27. Skies will be fair but cold, 911, and again as we close out the old year, 28-31. We can’t promise a white Christmas, but it will be windy and cold.

Full Moon: This month’s full moon occurs at 11:30 a.m. E.S.T. on the 12th, hardly qualifying it as the Yule Moon. Since storms and falling temperatures appear to be on the horizon at that time, it might best be called this year’s Cold Moon. Recall for a moment the memory of what happened at Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941, praying that our country will never lower its gu^rd to the point that such a catastrophe could happen again. Winter driving requires our best driving skills. Never underestimate road conditions and always drive defensively. As you “deck the halls with boughs of holly,” also remember to pick greens that add a fragrance to the house. A bayberry candle is traditional for the holidays, and balsam incense lends a festive seasonal aroma. J.

When you compare mortgage interest rates offered by different banks, there’s going to be a confusion factor. Inevitably, you’ll have to compare the quoted interest rate and then try to figure the impact of the points added to the price. Normally, the lower the rate, the higher the points. So which is the better rate, 12% and one point or 11 % and two points? The easiest way to get the answer to this important question is to ask the lender what the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is. By law, the lender must make this disclosure to you. In effect HE will add the quoted rate and the dollar rate of the points, then make some divine mathematical calculation and come up with a true rate. This is one which you can compare from bank to bank. Points are simply charges assessed by a lender for arranging the loan. In other words, they are a form of interest collected in advance. One point is the equivalent of one percent of the mortgage amount you are borrowing. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

Holiday gifts from the kitchen By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics No gift is more appreciated than a box of homemade cookies, a loaf of freshly baked bread, or other homemade goodies from your kitchen. Many people like to give and receive homemade jams, jellies, pickles, relishes and condiments, as well as jars of dried herbs or potpourri. Hints for mailing: Here are some hints for those who plan to mail foods for the holidays. It is best to send quick breads rather than yeast breads, since yeast breads have a tendency to get moldy. Chewy, moist, bar or drop cookies and brownies are better than iced cookies or fragile types of cookies. It is fine to send candies, candied citrus peel, nuts, dried fruits and preserved foods like jellies and pickles. If the preserved foods are in glass jars, it is important that the jars be sealed properly, either by canning or with a layer of paraffin, to ensure that there is no spillage. An ideal way to pack several glass jars is to save the cardboard dividers from the boxes the new jars were packed in, and use them to put between the jars. Otherwise, you need to leave several inches between the jars and fill with foam pellets or crushed papers. Avoid sending cakes and cookies with sticky frostings, and remember that nuts and chocolate give in to hot, humid climates. The best containers for sending cookies through the mail are tins and sturdy cardboard boxes. Oatmeal boxes, coffee cans and containers that chips come in are perfect for stacking cookies in. Coffee cans can be used to bake fruitcakes and quick breads. Carefully remove the fruit HOME ECONOMICS cake to cool. Then insert the fruitcake back into the can for mailing. Use clear plastic wrap, aluminum foil or waxed paper. Then cover with gift wrap. Wrap cookies individually, in pairs back-to-back, or in stacks. Wrap only cookies of the same kind together. You might bake bar cookies in disposable foil containers, then mail in the pan. Pack caridies like fudge or divinity in foil pans or plastic boxes. Place these containers of goodies inside a heavy, corrugated cardboard box. Fill all the empty spaces with crumbled paper, foam pellets or popcorn. Tape the carton securely with sealing tape recommended for mailing packages. Masking tape and scotch tape are not strong enough and may be refused by the shipper. 10 Lb.

CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer David Huff has taken on a new . venture — and he admits at first he was a little scared. A Rappahannock native, Mr. Huff traded in his apron at Country Manor’s Hazel Mountain Pub for the proprietor’s cap of the new Country Cafe. “It was really hard to leave the Manor,” Huff said, sitting in his restaurant in Washington, located on Main Street next to the Post Office. The tiny one-room cafe is filled with lingering late-aftemoon guests. Mr. Huff, wearing a white apron, hussels between the kitchen, the phone and the dining room, as his duties take him from greeting guests to preparing food and ordering supplies. As things settle down, he takes a break with a large iced tea. “It was almost like family with the Swindlers. It was hard to leave such a secure job and take a chance on this place,” he said of his seven and onehalf years of work at the Country Manor in Sperryville. But, he s had no regrets about his decision to move. “There has been nothing but support for me coming here,” Mr. Huff said, adding that before he even made up his mind to re-open the Village Cafe under a new name, Washington residents were patting him on the back and offering encouraging words about his decision. “I had not even decided, and people were planning that I would,” he said with laughter, adding that since his opening nearly a month ago, he’s had nothing but busy days. Changing the name and the hours were Mr. Huffs first priorities. The new Country Cafe is open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., weeknights, and 9 p.m. on weekends. Sunday, he closes early. The long hours represent Mr. Huffs determination in making the cafe a comfortable and delicious place for county residents to visit. He said he feels many of the previous owners “half-heartedly” attempted the restaurant business, a possible reason for several of the ventures ending in failure. “I’m in TUC rr»I TMTn Tr,-,, . . Rappahannock News phoco/Lou Hatter I Hfc, CUUNIRY CAFE S owner, David Huff, pauses a moment during a busy day at his Washington restaurant. . this to make it work,” he said with pride. And, it is working. “People are here when I open the doors,” Huff said. “Everyone in the county has been so supportive.” “It’s been like a zoo around here since we opened,” Mr. Huff said of business for his staff, which is composed of three cooks and four waittresses, adding that most of his lateaftemoon diners are tourists lingering for one last look at the fall foliage. But, Rappahannock’s citizens are the mainstay of his breakfast and dinner clientele. Mr. Huff wants to appeal to the Rappahannock 'diner — he wants to see their “face not just at breakfast, but for lunch or for dinner.” His dinner prices range from $5.95 for a fried-chicken dinner to the most expensive New York Strip steak, at $10.95. “It’s regular food for regular people,” Mr. Huff said of his menu, complete . with French fries, LOMP Continued from page 1 is evident that is one reason the partnership is pushing for approval under the present ordinance. Yet, he added, they want the planners to waive another provision to allow septic fields on adjoining lots, which is now illegal but would be allowed with Health Department approval under the proposed ordinance. “What upsets me is that they choose the cream from both ordinances. This is not a Chinese meal here — one from Column A and one from Column B.” On Mr. Wickens’ motion to disapprove, the recommendation passed unanimously, with Mr. Wickens, Mr. Neufeld, Mitzie Young and Mark Bailey all voting “aye.” Mrs. Parrish, one of the LOMP partners, abstained. The planners cited the failure to comply with septic field regulations, failure to comply with right-of-way dedication requirements, the lack of homeowners’ association documents, the lack of a construction estimate, no letter from the Water Authority certifying adequate available taps to serve the proposed homes, missing language on the plat regarding the merger of two small lots into one parcel and the lack of reference to drainfield easements on the plat. The Town Council will consider the subdivision application at its meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 13. Although the Planning Commission’s recommendation is not binding, it is one of the factors which the council members will consider in making their decision on approval of the subdivision request. ®fje &appafjannock J^etos now offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00 - first sheet $2.00 - each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00 - first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet &appaijannocfe Jftetos Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 "Authentic Native American Arts & Crafts Cordially invites you to join us Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. JOHN GUTHRIE CHEROKEE John comes to us from Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

He will also be bringing some of the lovely papercast pottery made by his wife Connie. I Kt. zi i west Washington, VA hamburgers, pork chops and cornbread. He plans to offer a little of everything, from Italian subs to hot dogs. He feels that his eight years’ experience with food service in Rappahannock prepares him for what the county’s residents are looking for in a meal, as well as giving him insight into where to purchase the best cuts of meat and the most perfect vegetables. “It’s moderately priced to fit almost any budget,” he said of his menu prices, “And, most of it is prepared right back there,” he motioned to the tiny open kitchen behind the counter. Not everything is prepared in the tiny kitchen. His mother, Annie of Flint Hill, prepares the numerous deserts on the menu. “She enjoys baking,” Mr. Huff said of his mother’s delicious cheesecakes, German chocolate cakes, car rot cakes and special pumpkin rolls. “I think people count how many there are when I bring them in, to make sure they will get their own,” Mr. Huff added, laughing over his mother’s famous pumpkin rolls’ popularity. His next priority is to change the look of the present cafe to something with more of a country appeal. “Something to fit in with the sign,” Mr. Huff said, adding the slow winter months may be the time for the change. He feels the rush of this season with tourist business and opening — will slow as winter creeps into the county. Maybe that’s the time for a grand opening. “Maybe,” Mr. Huff said with a far-away look. “I would like to do something to thank all the people who have helped to make it happen.” Spring registration at Fauquier Center The Fauquier Center of Lord Fairfax and Germanna Community Colleges has announced registration dates for Spring Semester, 1990.

Acting Chairwoman Evelyn Willis said the application describes it as dating from about 1750, and that it will be left “as is.” The members requested additional information and a photograph of the gate before acting. Robin Kevis, whose wife Donna is a member of the board, met informally with the board to discuss his plans for an addition to their home, the Gay St. Inn. He told the board that their plan is to add a second floor to the front of the existing structure, “to keep the existing first-floor structure and build on top. The members agreed that the plan, in balance, is appropriate to the home, but Mrs. Willis reminded Kevis that in order to consider the application at a formal meeting, he will need a full set of plans, drawn to scale. Architect Whayne Haffler, who was appointed to the board by the Town Council last month, suggested A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MOM Red Hot Special On Frigidaire Microwave Ovens Frigidaire MC590E ONLY $146.00 • 3-Stage Cooking Capability • 10 Power Levels • Delay Start • Digital Clock & 99- Min., 99Sec.

She said that the cost and technical expertise required to construct a model might be beyond the reach of some applicants, particularly those who are attempting to do a project largely on their own. In other business, the ARB: • debated Trinity Episcopal Church’s plan to conceal the metal fire doors on its furnace room, which front on Middle St. across from the gallery. The church had proposed lattice doors on a frame placed in front of the doorway. Jay Monroe proposed that a wooden panel be attached to the front of the existing doors, rather than building yet another doorframe. “We would prefer not to hang them on the building. That old building has been punched enough.” The board also approved an extension, until April 30, 1990, for the church to plant an evergreen climber to hide the air conditioning condens Cl s. • questioned what had happened to the plans submitted by the Rappahannock News for a tree well at the end of the brick walk in front of its building on Main St. • agreed to inspect the parking lot behind Doug Baumgardner’s law office on Main St. to see if his landscaping has been completed. • will take the blueprints to The Meadows and inspect the addition under construction to assure that it is in compliance with the application as submitted and approved. Mrs. Willis told the members that it is also time to do a similar inspection of the Sims house on Blue Ridge Ave. “I feel that we have to keep an eye on projects and make sure they do it correctly,” she said. • had another informal meeting with Robert Parrish, a fellow board member, to review the preliminary drawings of the addition he plans for his house on Blue Ridge Ave. After a lengthy discussion among the members, Mr. Parrish said he will think further about the design and return later with revised plans. • agreed to attempt to cancel the regular December meeting, set for Dec. 21, but left open the option of scheduling a special meeting at an earlier date if either Mr. Huff or the Uhrichs return with further information about their applications. Any special meeting will be announced and notices posted at the courthouse and the Post Office, Mrs. Willis said

Smet Continued from page 1 Mr. Ryan said there was a concern “about what happens when the next person comes along to get something zoned RR. Mr. Smet is immediately adjacent to the village. Someone else with 50 acres down the road wouldn’t be the same case.” “The comprehensive plan says to encourage growth around the villages,” said attorney Frank Reynolds, who represents the Smets. “It doesn’t say that you will only encourage growth in areas already zoned R-2. All this property is closer to the center of Amissville than other RR zoning. Holding this property to agricultural zoning is unreasonable and contrary to the comprehensive plan and to the laws of the state of Virginia as they relate to development.” Patricia Saltonstall said, “This sounds like a wonderful subdivision, 10-acre lots with $300,000 houses. It sounds like what the county wants to do, but if this land is removed from two-acre zoning, where will the county put affordable land? Will there be court challenges that the county does not provide enough? We need the kinds of housing for people such as teachers and people who provide all kinds of services.” Henry Gorfein said, “I hear all these altruistic reasons for having two-acre zoning. It seems to me whoever can pay the most money will buy the two-acre plots. I think it is a good plan, one of the few plans where housing will increase the tax base of the county. Two-acre housing only benefits the large landowner who sells off two acres to pay his taxes and keeps the rest to do what he wants.” Claybert Smoot said, “I hear this is good zoning for lawyers and doctors. Zoning is supposed to be for everybody.” Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie said he had a real estate ad from the NoV. 19 Washington Post, listing 121 acres suitable for development, at a price of $1.1 million. He asked the Smets if that listing was their Amissville property. “We let that listing expire,” Mrs. Smet said. “That didn’t include the separate 10-acre lot. We were going to build our house on that, but we were afraid we would be looking at something like Manassas, so we decided to take this approach.” “Well, it’s not relevant,” Mr. Massie said. “It is relevant,” Mr. Reynolds VSP plan push to enforce DU I laws RICHMOND — The Virginia State Police today announced plans to intensify their efforts from Dec. 8 through Dec. 16 to discourage drinking and driving. National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week is Dec. 1016, but the State Police will begin their concentrated statewide effort at 6 p.m., Friday, Dec. 8. The early start on Dec. 8 is known as “D-Day” and is a part of Operation CARE, a state-sponsored national effort to reduce motor vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities. “Our goal is to reduce the number of alcohol-related fatalities and injuries caused each year by drivers who insist on getting behind the wheel after consuming alcoholic beverages,” said Colonel R.L. Suthard, State Police superintendent. “It is truly alarming that of the 1,069 persons killed on Virginia’s highways last year, 48.8 percent of them died in alcohol-related crashes.” In 1988, despite 46,044 arrests for drinking and driving, there were 18,084 alcohol-related crashes, resulting in 14,172 injuries and 522 deaths. State Police also point out that at least 338 of the drivers involved in alcohol-related crashes were 17 years of age or less and that another 1,106 were under age 21, the legal age for possessing and consuming alcoholic beverages in Virginia. Cost-share sign-up begins County farmers may sign up through Dec. 22 for annual or longterm agreement for conservation practices to be carried out in 1989 (and future years if long-term agreement). Requests must be made on an application form, available at the county ASCS office, by Dec. 22 and before a practice is started. The following practices are eligible for cost-share through ASCS: establishing or improving permanent vegetative cover, livestock watering facilities, sod waterways, planting or improving forest trees and animal waste facilities. “Emphasis is on saving the most soil, so sign up on the area of your farm that is causing the most soil erosion,” an ASCS spokesman emphasized. All requests are subject to r county committee consideration. The amount of soil loss before the practice and the amount of soil saved by carrying out the practice will be considered. Funds will be targeted toward practices that save the most soil. No cost share will be paid on any practice that is started before committee approval, the spokesman emphasized. Soil tests are required for practices involving lime and fertilizer. Tests made within two years are acceptable. Bring samples or soil test results sheet when applying for the cost-share program. By law, program eligibility is limited to agricultural producers. For more information, call the county ASCS office, 675-3616, or stop by the office, located on Gay St. in Washington.

That role has been defined over the years by both law and custom. The following is intended to give you. in your capacity as an actual or prospective st-ller. buyer, landlord or tenant of real estate, a brief explanation of that role 1. Brokers and their salespersons may be employed to represent any party to a real estate transaction. Unless both parties give an informed consent, a broker or salesperson may not lawfully represent opposing parties in a transaction 2. The person a broker and its salespersons represent is custom arily referred to as the ‘client' or ‘principal’ and the other party to a transaction is referred to a the “customer". 3. Be custom, unless a buyer or tenant has an agreement with a broker that the broker and its salespersons will represent the buyer/tenant's interests, the broker and its salespersons will represent the seller or landlord, either as a listing broker or as a subagent of the listing broker 4. Brokers and their salespersons owe their clients duties of loy alty and faithfulness. At the same time, brokers and their salespersons are required to treat all parties to a transaction fairly. 5.

Jackson District Supervisor Ellis Bingham, who represents the Amissville area, asked the other supervisors for their opinions. “When we adopted the zoning ordinance, we were asked for R-2 and RR down there,” Wakefield Supervisor Hubert Gilkey said. “If we take away these R-2 lots, somewhere adjacent someone is going to want R-2 lots.” “I understand your concern,” Mr. Reynolds said. “The whole north and west side is surrounded by two-acre zoning. It is more likely some subsequent owner will say the whole thing is suitable for R-2 development, and 131 acres in two-acre zoning is a lot of houses.” “Pete, I’d like to hear comments from you,” Col. Bingham said, referring to county attorney Peter Luke. “People pressed us hard for twoacre lots down there, and I see some of those same people’s names on these petitions,” Piedmont Supervi sor unarms k. rete tstes saia. “I’m amazed there is no opposition and clamor for small lots. We’ll have to make our decision on what best serves Rappahannock County, Mr. Smet, and the people of Amissville.” “I know everyone I have talked to would prefer to see the development Mr. Smet has come in for,” Col. Bingham said. “Those are the people who live in the immediate area. We have to respect their wishes. I feel this plan follows the complete spirit and intent of the comprehensive plan. I’d like to make a motion that in view of the comprehensive plan, we approve Mr. Smet’s plan as submitted, but I’d like to see a 50- or 100-foot buffer around the graveyard to preserve its integrity.” “Fifty feet would be required anyway,” County Administrator John McCarthy noted. No one seconded Col. Bingham’s motion. Mr. Estes asked, Mr. McCarthy to go over the proffers “and give us your opinion.” Mr. McCarthy said the important one would restrict further subdivision. This could not be changed by the homeowners, he stressed. “There would be a total of 11 lots on 131 acres,” he said. “We’ve heard a lot of local residents and what they want,” Mr. McCarthy told the supervisors, “but I’ve heard from all corners of the county, and there’s plenty of desire for small lots. These will be expensive quality estate farmettes, very valuable properties. They will not have kids in public schools, not requiring public services. “What happens to this devel opment will determine what happens around Amissville, and since it’s the area to first experience growth pressure, what happens around the other villages. I do not think approving this development would be a bad thing, but I think we need to establish a southern boundary for the village of Amiss ville, and say future extensions south and east have to wait,” the county administrator suggested. “1 recommend the two lots in the southern part of the property be combined into .one property that could not be divided. There would be one less lot and an agricultural buffer in the southern part of the property,” Mr. McCarthy continued. Mr. Reynolds checked with the Smets, who agreed with that restriction. Mr. Luke said to accept that as a further proffer would require another hearing, since all proffers have to be in writing before a rezoning hearing. “How does the board feel about Mr. McCarthy’s suggestion?” Mr. Gilkey asked. livery ume we laiKea aDoui zoning, we talk about the village concept,” Mr. Massie said. “We talk about housing opportunities. We talk about it at every meeting. We want to develop the villages and keep the countryside open. I don’t think this is the proper way to develop that area. We could have the whole county covered up in 10-acre lots and never have a village. The comprehensive plan is the law and we’re expected to go by it.” “I disagree with you,” Col. Bingham said. “Those lots were never subdivided into two-acre lots. We’re not taking anything away from anyone. The way most counties have had to provide affordable housing is to get together with the developer and increase density greatly. We have a good plan here. I make a motion we approve it in principle, pending the proffer.” “Don’t take any recorded vote to approve anything in principle,” Mr. McCarthy cautioned. “We could at least have a motion to approve it in principle,” Col. Bingham said. “We don’t have to take any vote in principle,” Mr. Gilkey said. “I need a little more time to look at it.” “Those two-acre lots, Frank, around the graveyard,” Mr. Anderson started. “Two-acre lots,” Mr. Reynolds said. “There never were any twoacre lots. Thei*e was two-acre zoning around the graveyard. It’s not a good place to build houses.” “At least you’d have quiet neighbors,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Colonel, do you want me to ask for a second to your motion?” Mr. Gilkey asked. “I withdraw my motion,” Col. Bingham said. “If I leave it on the table, it will die.” The hearing was recessed until Jan. 3, when the supervisors will again consider the Smets’ request.

Bingham cast the lone vote against the proposal, and Hampton District representative Mike Massie abstained. The supervisors next considered a request by Adelphia Cable Communications to apply for a franchise to extend service from Front Royal, where the company operates a cable TV system, across the mountain to Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville. Joseph Price, Virginia regional manager, told the supervisors that with the use of fiber-optic technology, Adelphia would be able to extend its service into Rappahannock without having to construct any antenna towers in the county. Mr. Price said that in Front Royal the company offers 30 channels in the base package. The movie channels, Disney channel apd Home Team Sports cost extra. He said that Rappahannock subscribers would be offered the same service as Front Royal customers but at $2 to $2.50 extra. As more channels are added in Front Royal, they would be available in Rappahannock also, he said. ne saia tne cost oi tne service would be in the “$18 to $19 range,” with an additional charge of $35 to $40 for installation, that would in- • elude up to 150 feet of line from the main line to the house. A homeowner farther away than that would have to pay by the foot for the additional distance. “We don’t look to make money on installation; we want to get the services in the homes and keep them there,” he said. Mr. Price said a short time ago the company required 35 to 40 houses per mile to offer cable service, but new technology made it possible to extend service to areas with as few as 15 homes per mile. He said he had checked out the Amissville area and found only 10 to 11 houses per mile. “Our population is greater than any other district,” Col. Bingham said. “I do not believe in second class citizens. I wouldn’t consider it until you ran the line down to Amissville. We shouldn’t even allow you over the Gap until you can at least give the people of Amissville a chance.” Mr. Massie asked if it wouldn’t be cheaper to service Amissville by extending service from Warrenton.

Bingham said. “We really went looking at it,” Mr. Price said. “We need to see houses, not lots.” He said it would take 23 more miles of cable to service Amissville. “We need to see 75 more homes built in the area before it would be justified.” Mr. McCarthy said there were several bills before Congress to reregulate cable companies, and he expected that he and Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke could get information on them in the next few weeks. He suggested that the supervisors postpone action on the request until the January meeting^ and that Mr. Price work up figures on what the additional costs wouldfbe to serve Amissville, to bring to the January meeting. “What are the rules?” Mr. Price asked. “That should give you time to work up something for the Amissville area,” Mr. Gilkey suggested. When the supervisors considered a request from the Community Services Board to support the budget request of the Virginia Department on Aging for $22.6 million for long-term care services and $3.5 million for transportation services in the next biennium, Mr. Massie said, “I move we table this. We don’t have enough information. How can we vote on specific amounts for the agencies?” Mr. Gilkey suggested that one of Rappahannock’s representatives to the local Community Services Board come to the January meeting to discuss the requested resolution. “That sounds good to me,” Mr. Anderson said.
