Inn's plan blasted Project called incompatible with town goals By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The county’s courtroom was filled to overflowing Monday ■ evening as Washington’s Planning Commission opened a public hearing on a requestfor rezoning made by The Inn at Little Washington. Though the three applications, one for a rezoning from the present Village Residential to the Village Mixed Use zone for the property owned by The Inn from its existing building to the intersection of Main and Calvert Streets, a zoning ordinance amendment to relax the building height restriction to a 45foot maximum by special use permit, and another amendment to allow offsite parking on property under common ownership by special use permit; do not directly involve The Inn’s building plans, that was the main focus of the 35 residents who spoke. Speaker after speaker rose to criticize the plan, calling it “massive,” “grandiose,” “just too big for our little town,” and questioning whether the town’s water, soils, streets and quality of life would be adversely affected by such a large expansion of the business which has become the town’s principal source of income. Jeannie McNear was among the speakers who questioned that dependence, calling it “not healthy fiscally” to make the town “irreversibly dependent and subservient to the needs of those property owners.” See HEARING, p. 12 Priming the partisans xi Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE RCHS PEP BAND, directed by David Orth, fires up the fans at a recent Panthers basketball game.

Exception recommended for steep slope area of Mitchell subdivision Planners withdraw objections to hill crest home sites By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer With only four of its seven members present last Wednesday night, the Planning Commission voted three to one to recommend approval of Philip Mitchell’s request for a special exception to put a seven-lot subdivision on the 193-acre former Cooksey Farm near Ben Venue. Mr. Mitchell said he wanted to give six of the seven lots, all of which will be at least 25 acres, to his children and keep one for himself. At last month’s meeting the planners had delayed their decision, asking him to provide information on the amount of the land with slope in excess of 25 percent, to consider relocating house sites so they would not be on top of hills, and to work with the Virginia Department of Transportation and neighboring landowner Patricia Saltonstall to see if her right-of-way through the property could be consolidated with the subdivision road that would be put in. At last week’s meeting, County Administrator John McCarthy said that the highway department had approved an entrance for the subdivision road and didn’t have any problem with two entrances close together on that section of U.S. 211, and that Mr. Mitchell was negotiating with Mrs. Saltonstall about letting her use the subdivision road in exchange for contributing to the cost of its construction. On the matter of slope, Mr. McCarthy said there was a problem. Of the 193.5 acres in the proposed subdivision, 34.3 acres was in slopes of 25 percent or steeper. The zoning ordinance stipulates that 30 percent of that land can be added to the land with slopes less than 25 percent to determine the density allowed, Mr. McCarthy explained. Using that formula Mr. Mitchell would have 169.5 acres on which he would be allowed to locate one house for each “I don t see why you can’t site a house so you have a good view and so others have a good view also... We don’t do enough to protect the scenic environment. ..if the Planning Commission doesn’t want to enforce the scenic part of the ordinance, it shouldn’t put it in there. ” — Mike Massie Supervisor, Planning Commissioner 25 acres, so only six lots could be created on the parcel, he said. Mr. Mitchell showed the planners a map outlining the areas with slopes of 25 percent or greater. He- said that many of those areas were very small and asked the planners to waive their requirements and allow him seven lots. He would need 5.5 acres more in density allotment to qualify for seven lots, he said, and 5.15 acres of slope over 25 percent was in very small pieces. “This exSee EXCEPTION, p. 12 Moore hears requests, complaints about VDOT's road paving plans By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors considered roads, improvements to existing state secondary roads, standards for new roads in subdivisions and possible enforcement of motor vehicle laws on private subdivision roads at its January meeting. At the public hearing on the sixyear secondary road plan, residents supported widening and hard surface treatment for several sections of roads, but others asked if the hard-surfacing could be done without widening the road and taking out the trees. Resident Engineer Robert Moore, from the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Warrenton office, explained that there would be approximately $620,000 per year in his budget for improvements to sec ondary roads. Highway department policy is to hard surface secondary roads when enough land has been donated for a 50-foot right-of-way. For short distances sometimes the highway department provides hardsurface treatment in areas where water runoff or flooding causes problems. On a portion of Route 621 between Five Forks and Woodville, the highway department put down hard surface along James J. Kilpatrick’s land even without the necessary deeded right-of-way in order to connect with hard surface sections on the rest of the road. The proposed six-year road plan calls for widening and hard surfacing the road from Five Forks to the comer with The Shade farm at Route 622. Janet Reid said she and other landowners are “in favor of what happened in front of Kilpatricks’. You improved the road without removing the trees. We no not want to remove trees.” “Our funding requires us to build to a certain standard,” Mr. Moore replied. “That would require the removal of some trees.” Edward Armentrout said, “I live on the same section of 621 as Mrs. Reid. She says, “We do not want to remove trees,’ but she represents herself ... We are the ones who don’t care if you take the trees or not.” Marshall Burke, another resident of the road and farm manager for The Shade, said that an old roadbed the highway department already owned could provide most of the land needed to widen the road. A See ROADS, p. 12 schools $28K By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer If the budget for education submitted by outgoing Governor Gerald Baliles is approved by the General Assembly, Rappahannock County will receive $28,000 less in state aid for its schools next year than is expected this year. In addition the state money for education will be another $28,000 less for the 1991-92 year than for 199091. Superintendent David Gangel gave the School Board this news at the board’s January meeting last Tuesday, which was rescheduled from Jan. 9 because of snow. The General Assembly may elect to make additional changes in the Baliles budget proposal, he pointed out. The state has increased funds for basic aid in the new budget and asked the localities to grant a 5.6 percent salary increase to teachers, but other funds have been cut. Specifically, funds for regional vocational centers, such as Piedmont Technical Education Center in Culpeper County, are not included in the budget. Restoring those funds was part of the legislative agenda adopted by the School Board, and Rappahannock’s representatives have been lobbied to support restoring the money. If monies for Piedmont are restored by the legislature, Rappahannock’s funds from the state for education will be the same next year as this, but any increase in spending for education will have to come from local tax monies. Last Tuesday’s School Board meeting was also scheduled for public input into the budget. After learning of the decrease in state funding, the board members received several requests for increases to the local budget. See SHORTFALL, p. 12 Salary rates for teachers face more cuts By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Salary increases for teachers and college faculty would be reduced and a change in funding policy for the state’s pension system would be deferred under Gov. Doug Wilder’s proposed budget amendments released Friday, Jan. 19. In a move to tighten the reins further on the $26.8 billion budget for the next biennium, Wilder elbowed state teachers and college faculties’ pay raises to provide for a $200 million revenue reserve fund. To raise additional revenue, he recommended a two-year delay in the “add-back” for accelerated cost recovery taken by corporations. He also proposed increasing tax collection efforts and the ABC mark-up. If approved, Wilder’s amendments for the proposed revenue reserve fund would amount to about $224 million. Although the reserve would be the largest in the history of the Commonwealth, according to the Laura Dillard, the governor’s press secretary, it represents less than two percent of the proposed general fund budget for the next biennium. The governor’s amendment that would require additional appropriations totals about $1.3 million in general funds and $362,000 in non-general funds. Former Gov. Gerald L. Babies had recommended a 5.6 percent pay raise for teachers in the first year of the biennium, but did not provide for a salary increase in 1991-92. Wilder, seeking further budget savings, reduced the teachers’ raise to 4.5 percent, netting $40.7 million. The governor also held the line on college faculty salaries at 4.5 percent. Original appropriations for faculty pay hikes reached as high as seven percent. Faculty at George Mason University would have received a 6.8 percent increase under Babies’ proposal. Though Wilder makes no recommendations for salary increases for the second year, he did suggest during his State of the State address that such monies could be derived from the revenue reserve fund next year. Library jto try again for grant By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board of Trustees voted to at least submit an “intent to file an application” for state Title II funding for construction of the new library. Chairman William Young said he had thought that there would be no funding for the program this year, but found out that $500,000 would again be available. The library board applied last year but was not one of the projects that received funding. Dr. Young said officials on the state library board had urged Rappahannock to apply again. Board member Mary Jamieson was concerned that applying for the grant funds not delay construction. Dr. Young said that it would be possible to apply for the funding even if construction had started and that, if necessary, the Library Board could ask potential contractors for two bids, one to include Federal funding and one without Federal monies. If the new library is built with grant money, he explained, the contractor will have to pay wages according to a government schedule, which are higher than contractors usually pay locally.

He served as assistant manager at Southern States’s Herndon Service before promotion to assistant manager at the Winchester Cooperative. He was named manager of the Martinsburg, West Virginia Cooperative in 1976. He remained at that post until November, 1981 when he was named operations supervisor in old Region 2 (Baltimore, Md.).

Census Bureau seeks temporary workers The U.S. Census Bureau has begun its search for employees in this area to help with one of the nation’s mostimportant endeavors, the 1990 census ofpopulation and housing. T^p first temporary jobs will involvedoor-to-door delivery of censusquestionnaires to area residents thiscoming March. The second major operation,April-June, will be followupvisitsmade necessary because some householdswill not mail back their census question-naires on or before the required April 1 deadline — Census Day. Nearly a half-million Americans must answer their nation’s call for help before census operations conclude early next fall. The once-a-decade effort is the federal govemment’slargest peace-time operation. The first census was conductedin 1790 and it took just 650 people to count the nation’s 3.9 million residents. The Census Bureau estimates the 1990 count will stand at 250 million people and about 106 million housing units. “Our biggest challenge will be hiring enough people when and where we need them,” said William F. Hill, Regional Director of the U.S. Census Bureau. “We need people from literally every community and neighborhood to help us.” He added that census hiring has become more difficult over the last two decades for several reasons. For one, the jobs are temporary, lasting five to eight weeks. Housewives wanting to earn extra family income were once a huge source of census takers, but the growing number of two wage-earner and single-parent households has meant a greatly depleted pool of potential applicants. Applicants will need to pass a short, written test and must be United States citizens. They should be at least 18 years old, although younger persons with a high school diploma may be considered. The test takes about half-an-hour and is designed to check simple math skills, basic map reading and ability to follow instructions. The jobs in this area pay $6 per hour, and census workers will be reimbursed 24 cents per mile for automobile expenses. Persons interested in information about temporary census employment should contact the nearest state employment services office or the Census Bureau in Charlottesville (804) 977-8637. Census employment tests will be given in this area at the following location, days and times: Rappahannock County Health Dept., each Monday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. For more information about Census operations in Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties, call Elizabeth Lenz, (703)364-1211.

Call for the hall Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan LOOKING FOR THE BALL, Paul Hitt (#10) yells for a pass from Benji Roy as Jason Butler (#14) slips behind for the outlet pass against Clarke County last Friday night. The Panthers won, 63-61, leaving them in third place in the Bull Run District, trailing Central and Page County, who have one loss each. The Panthers’ district record is 5-2, 8-3 overall for the season. Volleyball teams show strength By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School’s varsity and junior varsity volleyball teams are gaining experience and power with each game, according to coach Scott Mellott. Coming to the end of a year plagued by change — practices cancelled, games postponed, schedules rearranged — coach Mellot and his teams hope the final change is for another winning game. The varsity team faces Manassas Park next Friday, Feb. 2 in the school’s gymnasium, with junior varsity players serving the first ball at 7 p.m. “There is no basketball game and we hope for a tremendous crowd,” the coach said, adding the teams “clobbered Manassas Park earlier,” this year in December’s seasonopening jamboree. Mellot said his varsity team scored 15 points to the Park’s five in the first game and took the second 15-0. Varsity and junior varsity success has not come so easy for the team since the Manassas Park game. With a 3-7 varsity record, an improvement of two games over last year’s record, and 3-4 for the junior varsity, an improvement of one over last year’s, the team still lacks “con fidence” and experience, according to Coach Mellot. “We have not played enough games yet,” he said. “It’s a young team,” he said, adding that most of his experienced players, those having several years of volleyball experience, graduated leaving him with team that is building its strength and ability. “It takes time to build a winning team.” Though their record will not place them into championship positions, coach Mellot explained their results are similiar to several other teams in the division. Page County High School and Strasburg High School hold the coveted top positions, while the other six teams in the division share the middle. “Six teams are fairly equal” in their success, he explained. Equal is not enough for coach Mellot. He’s building a better team. “We are playing much better as a team,” he said, proud of his players, adding that the lengthy home game against Clark County Jan. 15 was one of their better so far, even though Rappahannock lost. “We played as a team, always coming back to their advances.” In the last game against George Mason, the varsity team “came out like horses in a race,” the coach said, adding their loss was due to “poor ABERDEEN BARN presents Friday Night SEAFOOD BUFFET ALL YOU CARE TO EAT 5 PM-9PM $139s Children under 12...$6.95 Banquet Facilities and Catering Available For Reservations Call 825-1037 Located in the Holiday Inn Rt. 29 South • Culpeper A uthentic Native American Arts & Crafts Cordially invites you to meet GERALD SCHENANDOAH Oneida!Iroquois Confederacy Saturday and Sunday January 27th & 28th 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. Gerald, a Native American Silversmith, will be bringing silver jewelry which he designed and made.

He hopes that the community will rally next Friday, Feb. 2 and show its support for the Panthers in their season finale Ultimate football fan makes 28,000 mile, $3,500 pilgrimage By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Special Writer Along about this time, with the New Year’s bowl binge over and the hype for the Superbowl just reaching a crescendo, practically every woman in Rappahannock County is convinced that her husband and her sons are the world’s most avid football fans. But those women should count themselves lucky, no matter how many hours their men spend before the television set. It could be worse — their men could all be Colin Buckles. Colin isn’t avid. He’s rabid. He easily wins the title of number one football fanatic, should that honor be awarded on the basis of miles traveled and dollars spent to see a trio of football games. “Dedicated and devoted — that’s Colin,” said Jim McCullough, who met Colin in Australia and served as his guide and host during a week’s stay with Jim’s family in Washington, Virginia. “The most amazing thing to me is the amount of energy Colin and every other Australian fan of American football has to put into being a fan. It takes a ton of effort for them to get the imformation on players and teams that we are bombarded with daily. And they know more about American teams than 90 percent of American fans.” “All I want for Christmas^ire some football games,” could have been Colin’s theme song. And that’s exactly what he gave himself. The 22-year-old Australian flew from Melbourne to Phoenix'for the Redskins’ contest with the Cardinals. Jim picked him up at Dulles the following Saturday, and on Sunday morning, the duo headed for RFK Stadium. Outside the stadium, in between snapping pictures of Cohn in front of the Redskins’ home field, they managed to find tickets for $15 a piece, less than face value. (Not only was the temperature below freezing, but the odds for post-season play were as long as the waiting list for season tickets.) After a week in Rappahannock County spent devouring the sports pages and combing sporting goods stores in nearby towns and malls for football memorabilia, Colin caught a flight to Atlanta to watch the Skins pull off a last minute win over the Falcons. Then it was back to D.C. and a hometown bar for the season’s finale against the Seahawks. “I guess you could say 1’m.a big fan,” acknowledged the Australian, who planned the itinerary of his monthlong vacation entirely around the Washington Redskins. “I am doing some of the regular touristy things but seeing the Redskins was definitely the motivating factor.” His road trip covered about 28,000 miles by the time Buckle returned to Australia on Dec. 29. When he departed, he hadn’t yet tallied his expenses but he said he’d count himself lucky if he kept to the $3,500 he budgeted for the football sojourn. Back in Melbourne, Colin is the shop assistant at a milk bar. “It’s quite like a 7-11, a general store kind of thing really,” he said. It took him just six months to save for the football trip. “But I don’t spend much money,” he added, explaining that he lives at home with one brother and his widowed mother. He’s been a fan of U. S. — style football since he saw a couple of playoff games on Australian television eight years ago. “I loved it. I thought it was a great sport.” As coverage was expanded to the game-of-the-week format, Colin upped his viewing hours, and when that proved to be still not enough, he joined a team in the Victorian Gridiron League which plays the game by U.S. college rules. This year, he was the outside linebacker for the Doncaster Devils, league champions. “Pound for pound, he was without a doubt the best player in the league. That’s what the coaches all said,” reported Jim McCullough, who was Colin’s teammate on the Devils. “He was always intense, always fearless. Colin’s a little guy, yet he would never hesitate to go after the big guys twice his size. And he was always interested in the theory behind the moves and plays. He wanted to do more than just get out on the field and knock heads. But he never missed an opportunity to bang heads, either!” Jim added, chuckling. In 1984 Colin caught Redskin Fever, and he uses the possessive pronouns — albeit with an Aussie accent — that distinguish the true and proprietory fan. “It was the playoffs, when we beat the 49ers before the Raiders stomped us,” he recalled, remembering the game that started it for him. What caught Colin’s fancy was the Joe Theisman-John Riggins combination: “They were the power!” Plus, he added, there was the burgundy and gold, the colors of his hometown Melbourne team in the local Australian rules football league. Back in Australia, he follows the National Football League in the international edition of USA Today. “I pour through it. But there’s not enough Redskins,” Colin complained. And that paper costs $2.50 a copy and carries only a paragraph or two about NFL football, period, added Jim, who was accustomed to the Washington Post and therefore required periodic supplements of sports pages from home during his year in Australia. Colin established his credentials as a semi-rabid fan two years ago. For that championship season of 1988, he paid $500 for VCR tapes of all 19 Redskins games. Since then, he’s had to settle for traveling the road to the Super Bowl again and again. “The company with the foreign license (to sell the videotapes of NFL games) has been holding out, they say on behalf of their customers. They say they’re being charged too much and that it makes the tapes too expensive for us, so they’re waiting until the prices come down. That means for two years, we’ve had nothing.” So what does a mate do when television coverage of the NFL is cut back to an hour and a half of the top game and “about 60 seconds of snippets from the rest” and video tapes are no longer avialable at any price? For Colin Buckle, the answer was simple: “I decided to come to America to see them play. ” It’s been worth every penny, the Aussie fan said. “I wanted to find out more about the game, to increase my knowledge of football, and I’ve certainly done that. It’s been great! Hey, we won in Pheonix.” And in RFK, he had a seat on the 50-yard line for another win. “Wonderful, just wonderful. The stadium moved. It really moved!” But the Monday morning after, brought a letdown when he read that the Los Aqgeles Rams had to lose three — “Lose to the Jets^LNDthe Patriots? No way!” — in order for the Keels kins to get a wild card berth. “We won’t make it this year. I’ve resigned myself. We have a great team, but we just didn’t get the breaks,” Colifi proclaimed over the sports page at the breakfast table. “Besides, the Redskins always lose out on the tie breaker. Have you ever noticed that?” WTCa Be Resourceful. Recycle.

Audit Bureau ol Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 25,1990 Consider the Plan We think the suggestion by William Wickens, chairman of Washington’s Planning Commission, that changes in the town’s Comprehensive Plan may be necessary to approve the proposed rezoning and ordinance amendments, bears consideration as The Inn at Little Washington’s applications wind their way through the process. At Monday’s public hearing, several residents criticized the proposal as not in keeping with the town’s Comprehensive Plan. That document, which was adopted by the present Town Council in July, 1986, embraces the values and lifestyle of a small rural town, and suggests that the framework of ordinances which regulate growth in the town should further those aims. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds noted, in his summation as the hearing recessed, that the Code of Virginia mandates that, whenever a proposed ordinance conflicts with a comprehensive plan, the plan must be amended to reflect the aim of the proposed ordinance. In other words, the first change must be in the guidebook — the comprehensive plan —followed by changes in the road map — the ordinances. The town has authorized the printing of 100 copies of its Comprehensive Plan, which will be available next week at Mr. Reynolds’ office as well as the county’s zoning office. We urge all the town’s residents to read the document and decide for themselves whether The Inn’s proposal is in keeping with its aims or not. We think that the applicants, given the strong opposition to their plan expressed by most of those v/ho spoke Monday evening, might benefit by some explanation as to how their proposal is, in fact, in keeping with the town’s Comprehensive Plan. If they are unable to do that, then perhaps they should offer suggestions as to how it might be amended — thus keeping the town’s ordinances a coherent whole. The responsibility for keeping the Comprehensive Plan up to date with the goals of the town’s residents’ is the responsibility of the Planning Commission and the Town Council. It is a fluid document, and is intended to be changed as circumstances warrant. If an applicant or a majority of residents feel that it is time to make changes, then they should be considered. But those changes should be — and are — subject to the same public hearing process as the one now in progress for The Inn’s application. It is vitally important that each of the town’s ordinances support and buttress each other. Any changes made to them should be,the result of an orderly and carefully considered process/including public hearings. That is the only way that the town can responsibly manage proposals for growth —in whatever form they may take. The law is plain Last week, Mike Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the county Planning Commission, stood alone in voting against an allowance for a small shortfall in the amount of steep land needed to satisfy the minimum lot size in a subdivision proposed near Ben Venue. Mr. Massie pointed out, correctly in our view, that the regulation is plain. There is a 30 percent allowance for land of more than 25 percent slope in calculating the acreage necessary to make the minimum lot size — either you have the land, or you don’t. Philip Mitchell didn’t, but the Planning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision as platted anyway. We think their action sets a dangerous precedent. It is especially so in view of the fact that, in the past year, members of the Planning Commission have expressed concern about the trend toward building on the county’s steeper slopes, within its conservation zones. These are fragile areas, with great potential for damage through erosion. Their protection should be extended to the widest latitude allowed by law — not reduced by the most narrow interpretation of the county’s ordinances. When the next applicant comes in, with a slightly larger deficit of steep slope land, we think the Planning Commission is going to have a hard time recommending that application be denied after allowing Mr. Mitchell the difference on his land. We hope that the Board of Supervisors will consider the precedent which would be set by granting the allowance. It is one which deserves a hard look before approval.

Letters to the editor -—.■ .. ....^.---■.i The dream lives on To the editor: I know that I speak for many when I express my sorrow at the cross-burning incident on Route 626 last week. I’ve lived in Tiger Valley for ten years, enjoying both the natural beauty of the place and the kindness of the black and white families who live here. One of the most special things about Rappa hannock County is'ffie number of intelligent people, who share Martin Luther King's dream of a community where people of every color and culture live in harmony. To the Butler family: “Welcome!” The dream is still alive! DIANE WOOD Washington Seeks elected School Boards To the editor: During our recent gubernatorial election several Fauquier County citizens collected signatures on a petition to change the method by which School Board members are chosen in our county. Our petition would require a referendum to change from a judge-appointed School Board to a supervisor-appointed School Board because there is no other option available at this time. Most voters did not know how the school board is “appointed,” or that Virginia does not even allow the election of board members. We discovered that most people strongly desire an elected School Board. If'you think we should have the right to vote for School Board members, now is the time for action. The General Assembly convened Jan. 10th. So, contact your state Senator and Delegate as soon as possible. If you do not know who your representatives are, you can find out from you local Electoral Board. You can write them at the State Capitol, Richmond, Va. 23219, or call them at the State Capitol (Phone 804-7867281). Let’s let the voters decide if they want to have an elected school board. MARY E. BUSER Nokesville Life here not so innocent To the editor: Working for a large Department of Social Services has “hardened” me to the reality of such issues as physical and sexual abuse, substance abuse, and homelessness, at least more than many residents here. Previously, when asked why I don’t move closer to my work, my response was the avoidance of a negative atmosphere for my daughter to grow up in. I felt good, no...proud, to say the harshities of the real world were not as prominent here. Now I am not so sure. * I hear valid talk to children, yes children, with drugs in our elementary schools. Not just our high schools, but our elementary school. I have a five-year-old daughter in kindergarten that I have had to explain to about drugs and alcohol, and what bad things they can do to your mind and body. I had to tell her that people can be bad, and not to accept “gifts” from anyone. It was one of the most difficult conversations I’ve ever had. Not because I cannot communicate with my daughter, but because of the anger. Anger that the conversation should be about the alphabet, or what songs she’s learned, or the new friends she’s made. If I, someone frequently reminded of bad issues, am shocked and angered by the way our society is changing here in Rappahannock, what about others more “isolated” do they know to be telling their five • and six year-olds to say “NO,” and why? I just want to strongly encourage all parents with school age children, any age, to talk in detail to them about good touch-bad touch, and the existence of drugs and alcohol. Only through awareness can we create avoidance. RHONDA D. BREEDEN Flint Hill Expansion unacceptable To the editor: It should now be clear to the owners of the Inn at Little Washington that their proposed expansion is unacceptable. The reasons are obvious and were well vocalized at the Jan. 22 meeting. The obstacles to approval appear overwhelming; it would be necessary to discard most of the goals of an excellent comprehensive plan, make drastic zoning changes and reverse most of the guidelines of the Architectural Review Board. That the church across the street was not permitted to replace its old tin roof with a copper one, despite the frequent use of copper roofing in the 18th and 19th centuries, is just one example of the resistance to even modest alteration. Environ mental and practical aspects of oversaturated utilities, services and streets are equally negative. And what happens to the town if this enterprise fails or is bought out by a hotel chain? As suggested at the Jan. 22 meeting, if the owners insist on such a major expansion, perhaps they should find property elsewhere, big enough to allow an attractive approach, entrance, parking, tennis courts, swimming pool, etc. To attempt the expansion at the present location will threaten not only the charm, and even existence, of the inn itself but will also permanently destroy the character of the town. NELS PARSON Washingtoru 'Tales' evokes emotions of Civil War era By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Patrick Allen’s singing guitar and soulful voice played to nearly a full house on Saturday night, Jan. 20 at the Gay Street Theater. The audience experienced a musical event as Mr. Allen, assisted by three friends, evoked with his original songs and compositions the emotions and atmosphere of the long Civil War between 1861-1964, and the conditions that resulted from it. The program consisted of a selection of songs from a longer opera, which Mr. Allen has called “Tales From the Debatable Land,” the region fought over by Confederate Col. John Mosby and his followers, the infamous Mosby’s Rangers Cavalry, which includes Rappahannock and nearby counties. More than a story, the compositions Mr. Allen put together remind us of the accidents of war — the degeneration of civilian life, the suffering and weariness of soldiers and death. Col. Mosby’s exploits and the notoriety he enjoyed provide the focus for Mr. Allen’s talents, but are by no means dominating. A number of the pieces have outstanding musical qualities, and were beautifully performed. Mr. Allen has devoted several years to researching Mosby’s life and creating the music that he hopes to perform again. The program as we experienced it needs additional work. Problems of organization, timing, and style must be addressed. The sombemess of the subject matter should be leavened with humor. Col. Mosby’s identity wants sharper definition and his career more detail. The accompanying musicians made significant contributions: Jeff Eckert, bass and guitar; Clark Corbin, guitar; and Cheryl Lehew, bai\jo and keyboard. Patrick Allen is an affective performer whose tall, thin figure and expressive hands contribute to the over all atmosphere of sadness, questioning, longing, fatigue and pain that characterize his music. Mr. Allen and his friends’ performance was a gift to RAAC and the community. Much of the audience was drawn from surrounding counties and many of these participants were first time Gay St. Theater attenders. Two of John Mosby’s greatgranddaughters were in the audience. They presented Patrick Allen a bouquet of roses at the conclusion of the program. Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Pundits play political equivalent of stove-league baseball By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock New* Special Writer Now that a new governor has taken office, any self-respecting Virginia political pundit must begin to speculate about the 1993 gubematorialelection. If that seems a mite premature, it is merely symptomatic of the age in which we live. Once, not all that long ago, there was little speculation since the Byrd Organization had previously annointed a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general at least four years in advance, and sometimes eight. There were a few instances when someone annointed was “disannointed” because of a failure to hew closely enough to the philosophical line. But for the most part, state leaders moved through the chairs. All that has changed, particularly when a Democratic political unknown named Donald S. Beyer could announce his long-shot candidacyfor lieutenant-governor with little of the party’s establishment behind him, get himself nominated and then elected. Such a Cinderella story will give heart to others who may not currentlyhold elective office but still might harbor the seeds of ambition for a statewide post. Beyer, young, photogenic and articulate, ran a highly effective media Old Dominion Politics campaign and fueled much of it with mega-bucks from the fortune he earned selling yuppie automobiles. Should I dwell longer on speculation about the Republican’s prospects in 1993, don’t mistake it for partisanship. Beyer will have to decide whether he wants to contest Attorney General Mary Sue Terry for the Democratic nomination or seek a second term as second banana. Should he choose the latter route, then the only statewide office left open to some other Democrat would be attorney general. Of course, should Beyer go head-on against Terry, lots of Democrats would line up to succeed him. Among those most often mentionedas future statewide Democraticcandidates — and the list makes nopretense of being complete — are state Sens. Daniel Bird of Wytheville, Dudley Emick of Fin-castle, Virgil Goode of Rocky Mount, Edd Houck of Spotsylvania, Robert Scott of Newport News, Moody Stallings of Virginia Beach and Delegates David Brickley of Woodbridge, Jay DeBoer of Petersburg, Thomas Forehand of Chesapeake, William Moore Jr. of Portsmouth, Joan Munford of Blacksburg, William Robinson Jr. of Norfolk and Clifton “Chip” Woodrum of Roanoke. Swept away for the third time in state elections during the 1980’s, the Re-publicans enter the 1990’s desperately seeking a winning formula in gubernatorial election years. But contrary to some reports, there will be no dearth of statewide aspirants among the GOP. Trial balloons of various proportions are already being floated for state Sens. Joseph Benedetti of Richmond, Mark Earley of Chesapeake, Robert Russell of Chesterfield, William Wampler Jr. of Bristol and Robert Calhoun of Alexandria. Among Republican delegates, the names most often heard are George Allen Jr. of Albermarle, Steven Agee of Roanoke, Raymond “Andy” Guest Jr. of Front Royal, Frank Hargrove of Hanover, ClintonMiller of Woodstock, William Howellof Stafford, Walter Stosch of Chesterfield, John Watkins of Midlothian, Vance Wilkins Jr. of Amherst and Jane Woods of Fairfax as well as Congressman Stan Parris of Fairfax and former U.S. Seri. Paul Trible. Parris, Trible and Guest were all Budget recess now a necessity By KEVIN G. MILLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer During the last two biennial budget periods, state revenues have grown at a rate exceeding all projections. Revenues for the current fiscal-year have grown at a slower rate, but theyare still growing. Revenues for the 1990-1992 bienniumare estimated to be approximately$26billion, for an increse of 11 percentto 14 percent above the revenues forl988-1990. . The budget “crunch” that we are hearing so much about now is simply the result of revenues falling short of the overly optimistic projections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1990. The cutbacks in spending required of some agencies are necessary because of the practice of budgeting the ex-penditure of every dollar of pro-jected revenues with little or no provision for reserve funds. Governor Wilder has taken the position, expressed in his speech to the Joint Assembly, that we can meet the critical needs of the Commonwealth without tax increases and without borrowing. Further, he asked that an unappropriated reserve fund remain so that it might not be necessary for the governor to order cutbacks in budgeted expenditures in the event of shortfalls in projected revenues. I am very much in support of the governor’s stated position on these fiscal matters. Let us hope he sticks with this position and insists that the General Assembly follow through with a budget that meets these objectives.

Many legislators have argued for years that we need a recess after receiving the governor’s proposed budget. We now receive the governor’s budget during the first week ol the session and the individual legislators have no opportunity to study the proposed budget and take it back to his or her district for discussions with local officials and interested groups. Each legislator has his or her own agenda of specific problems to work on, leaving little or no time to sift through a proposed budget containing hundreds of items authorizingthe expenditure of billions of dollars. It appears to me that too much of the focus has been on the available revenue and the competition for those dollars as opposed to focusing on the justification for expenditures. Almost every voice heard in Richmond is speaking out for more money for their program, while it is rarely that we hear a voice speaking out for curtailment or elimination of a program.

Despite the close decision, though, it appears unlikely Coleman will be a key player four years from now. Some insiders are saying that Allen,son of the former Redskins coach whosemotto was, “The future is now, "could emerge as a strong gubematorialcandidate. They say he is definitelyinterested. He is a young articulate conservative who could bring a fresh face to the statewide scene. But in politics, a couple of years is a lifetime and various processes will take place that winnow oht some of those now being mentioned and bring in some who aren’t currently getting any consideration. And after the 1991 redistricting, when all 100 House seats and 40 Senate seats will be up for election, any legislators with statewide ambitions who lose can forget dreams of greater glory two years hence. Maybe there should be a law against such long-range speculation, yet it’s basically harmless, does reflect the continual ferment within the state’s major parties and provides political junkies some meat on which to chew as they put together political fields of dreams for the next gubernatorial election year.

The decision was reached by the Warren Board, following a joint meeting of the two school boards after O.A. Norton, present superintendent, informed both boards he will retire at the end of the current school year. In announcing the decision, Ben Lacy, chairman of' the Warren Board, stated that growing enrollments, administrative demands of State and Federal agencies, and the increasing work load in the admin istration of a present-day school system prompted the action by the Warren Board.

Tune ups & Repairs Sperryvllle Pike 703/825-8166 Attend Church Sunday This week’s message brought to you courtesy of: Merlin Shorb Rappahannock Methodist Charge Flint Hill, Sperryville, Willis Chapel LOVE AND MARRIAGE Jesus condensed God's ideal of a monogamous, heterosexual marriage into a few words: "At the beginning of Creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." (Mark 10:6-8a) Because we live in a broken world of sinful humans this ideal is often compromised. In a world of the dying a marriage also may die, a promising dream shattered. The good news is that our past can be forgiven. By God's grace we can get up and try again. But God keeps calling us back to the ideal, the dream. I remember a few years ago when an American celebrity was met at an airport by the press. The story had leaked that he and his wife were separating. When questioned by the reporter, his only answer was, "We’ve decided to make it work." 1 like that. When two people make up their minds to "make it work*" they will find a way. But it does take two. A one-sided love affair is a tragic infatuation. If there is a single most important ingredient in a successful marriage, it would be faithfulness. Other features, such as compatibility, can be worked out. But everyone needs someone who will make them a promise, and keep it. Furthermore, everyone needs to make a promise, and keep it. Everyone needs someone in life whom they can trust implicitly. Everyone also needs to be that person for someone. The wonderful privilege of investing one's entire life in making someone else a confident and happy person will never be known by the casual and uncommitted. The vacillating will never get down to the business of life. They will always entertain doubts about the very person they should be able to trust. The family loyalties they wish to foster in their children may prove to be as tentative as the example they have set. Any network of mutual love and respect will be loosely woven. The one-flesh relationship that God intended is more than flesh. The ancient Hebrew did not divide the human person into segments as we are prone to do. We are whole persons. "One Flesh" means also one in mind and one in spirit. The whole person is committed to the other. The Apostle Paul spurns the notion of casual sex by claiming this one-flesh bond is created even Vvhen consorting with a prostitute. (I Cor. 6:16) A variety of affairs only prevents our focusing on life (and love). Human standards of morality do change But the universe is no moral vacuum. The human person is basically the same. And the human need for the intimacy of total commitment has not changed.

With the shocking news last week that it was not so much the intake of oat bran, but reduction in fat that lowered cholesterol, an interview on Monday’s Today Show with Robert Pritikin was very interesting. According to Pritikin, author of “the New Pritikin Program,” one should reduce one’s fat intake by 10 percent. His number 1 recommenda tion to stay healthy is: “Get moderate exercise; if possible, walk onehalf hour every day, and begin each day with a good breakfast.” He also advised to keep “bad foods” out of the house to prevent temptations. His father, founder of the famous “Pritikin diet” believed heart disease could be reversed with a change in diet. They have worked on the program for twelve years, and studies have proved him right. , Congratulations to Ann Hoffman who recently passed the Board of Nursing for the State of Virginia to be a licensed practical nurse.

Local Indians topic of talk v The Rappahannock Historical Society will hold its regular quarterly meeting on Sunday, Feb. 4 at 3 p.m. at the courthouse. Sandra Speiden is the guest speaker. Mrs. Speiden is an avocational archeologist with a long-standing interest in and concern about archeology and historic preservation. Site surveying over a ten-year period (with a three-year interruption in. the middle of this period to work on the uranium mining issue) of about 10,000 acres in Orange, Madison and Greene counties has resulted in an increase of more than 150 prehistoric sites in these counties being recorded with the state. She and her husband, Bill, operate Hampstead Farm Inc., a dairy farm in western Orange County. The farm has been designated Hampstead Farm Archeological District, is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Virginia Historic Landmark. For the past two years, Mrs. Spieden has been active in efforts to preserve 11,000-year-old Paleoindiansites in Virginia. Mrs. Speiden says the most rewarding and important part of her archeological work has been sharing her ever-increasing knowledge of the long-standing history of the area with others. The public is invited to attend this free meeting.

Exception Continued from page 1 ception is very small,” he said. Mr. McCarthy said that the section of the ordinance which called for reduced density applied to bodies of water greater than two acres, flood plains, and quarries as well as land with slopes in excess of 25 percent. “There is nothing in that section that says you can except certain areas,” he said. “The way it’s written now it’s very plain. There is no question that it is applied unfairly.” Mr. McCarthy said that the Planning Commission hasn’t had to deal with the issue since the new ordinance was adopted, but he has dealt with it in subdivisions that are approved administratively. “Typically it’s for flood plains rather than slope,” he said. “We would be establishing a precedent to go with this,” Mr. Stokes noted, and asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak. Allen Olson, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection said, “I would like to speak not in opposition, but in favor of its modification. TTiis is one example of the increasing problem of ridge top and mountaintop development. The mountain views are increasingly being blocked by houses on the highest and baldest knob. Properly sited there is much less or no visual impact. “In England there are 50 million plus people in an area a fraction of the size of the United States, yet as you drive across the English countryside, you don’t see houses. The county’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes the scenic qualities of the mountains. The aesthetic reasons are important, but there are other important reasons, some economic. Tourism is a major source of revenue. Visitors come to see the mountains; they do not come to see houses on top of mountains. “You need to find a way to help Mr. Mitchell to relocate his house sites so he will have better properties and adjacent landowners will have better properties too.” Diane Kidwell said she was a neighboring landowner. “I might be a little late,” she said. “I feel what he’s asking for is a special exception to divide into so many lots. He’s not asking for a special exception to build houses on hills. No neighboring landowners have come to oppose this except Mrs. Saltonstall. “If you go down Route 729 just about all the houses built in the last few years take advantage of the view . . . None of this makes any sense to me. The old residents of Rappahannock County will not come to these meetings and talk to you all. The residents I talk to have no objections to this, but they say what’s the use? Your minds are already made up.” Phil Irwin said he wanted to second Mr. Olson’s comments. “The Comprehensive Plan calls for you to consider the visual impact. There are good examples of old houses and even new houses that have magnificant views and are not located on crests.” John Clark Jr. said, “Mrs. Kidwell, I agree with a lot of things you said. I don’t approach these meetings with my mind made up. I have been doing some soul searching. Building on a hill is sort of a basic American right. The reason this country doesn’t look like England is that we didn’t like their rules and regulations. I can’t touch this building on hilltops.” Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission Mike Massie said, “I agree with a lot you’ve said, but I agree with what Mr. Irwin and Mr. Olson have said, too. I don’t see why you can’t site a house so you have a good view and so others have a good view also. “On the issue of 25 percent slope . . . it’s pretty much cut and dried the way I see it. It’s a mistake to change the ordinance. You don’t change it because somebody just moved here, and he’s a nice man who’s working with us or because somebody has already been here. You change the ordinance if it’s in the best interest of everyone. We don’t do enough to protect the scenic environment. If Mr. Mitchell had a 25 acre lot or if Mr. Mitchell wanted to create three lots, this wouldn’t come in, but if the Planning Commission doesn’t want to enforce the scenic part of the ordinance, it shouldn’t put it in there.” “I find it hard to tell a person where he should put a house,” Mr. Clark said. “I agree. We don’t have a right to Shortfall Continued from page 1 Helen LaCava, speaking for the Rappahannock Education Association, said that the teachers at the elementary school need mere time for planning during the school day. At the high school, in the area of instruction Mrs. LaCava asked only for time for the faculty to evaluate the new programs that were brought in this year with the sevenperiod day. In the area of salaries the teachers asked that more attention be paid to teacher salaries at the top of the scale. Specifically, Mrs. LaCava suggested that there be salary increments after 18 and 21 years, with longevity supplements for those who teach 25 or 30 years. The education association also requested a five percent increase to the base salary and requested that the school system pick up the teachers’ share of the retirement system. She said the association also advocates 100 percent funding by the school system for a single subscriber’s cost for health insurance. Following the presentation, the School Board returned to less pleasant business. Superintendent Gangel said the board’s fuel supplier, Quarles Petroleum, has agreed “to accept responsibility, liability and ownership” of the two underground gasoline storage tanks. “But their reaction at the end of the contract may be to dig them up and take them with them,” Dr. Gangel said. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell also told the board he was encountering increasing frustration in trying to get the high school roof leaks repaired. Since the last time the manufacturer sent an inspector to look at the roof, new leaks have appeared above the computer lab, he said. Dr. Gangel said a copy of the latest letter to the manufacturer, detailing the history of the problem, has been sent to the School Board’s attorney. Dr. Gangel told the School Board the school system is required to certify that the Family Life Curriculum was in place. “We meet all the guidelines with one exception,” he said. “We are required to participate in training teleconferences sponsored by the Department of Education. I viewed them, and they stink. I didn’t have the heart to ask our teachers to watch that thing. I am telling them that we have not met that standard, and that is that.” In other action the School Board: • approved a senior class trip to Florida. • authorized Dr. Gangel to sign a right-of-way agreement with the highway department for C and P Telephone Company’s lines. • at Gary Leake’s request, relieved him of his assignment as baseball coach and appointed Dee Van Horn in his place. • appointed Cheryl Mellott assistant track coach. • delayed until next month final decision on making up days of school lost due to snow, but authorized Dr. Gangel to apply for “bank time” if necessary.

If you’re judging the subdivision by where these circles are, don’t.” “Hardship has a lot of meanings,” Mr. Olson said. “But the number of lots was never included in the definition of hardship.” “If the slopes were in one part of the parcel, I would feel more strongly about having one larger lot,” Dr. Krebser said. “There will be 25 plus acres in every lot even if it is seven lots. The slopes per se do not bother me, even if it is the law.” Dr. Krebser made a motion to recommend approval of the special exception. Mr. Clark and Mr. Stokes joined him in voting for it. Mr. Massie voted against the motion. In other action, the Planning Commission: • decided to wait until the February meeting to elect a chairman and vice-chairman when perhaps more members would be present. • learned that the application for a special use permit for Spring Mountain School has been withdrawn because of highway department concern about the entrance on Route 600. • recommended denial of Robert Misdom’s request to rezone his 7.32 acre parcel on Route 611 near Amissville from Agriculture to R-2 because it would constitute spot zoning. • withdrew the application to rezone land owned by Bruce Vierling to Village Commercial. The rezoning had been recommended for sewage disposal for Robert Metcalfe’s proposed apartments in the old Flint Hill packing shed also owned by Mr. Vierling. Mr. Metcalfe’s engineer said that the land was not suited to a septic system and will instead recommend land in the rear of the building for the drainfield. • tabled Reed Payne’s request for a special use permit for a pool/billiards amusement arcade at his mother’s garage on 1.1 acres on U.S. 211, just east of Washington. • voted to advertise the county’s proposed Capital Improvements Plan for public hearing at the Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 21. Library Continued from page 1 He said that the timetable would be nearly the same as last year, with applications due in July, awards announced in September and the money available in December. After seeing how successful the Friends of the Rappahannock Library are in raising funds locally, the Library Board will make the final decision on whether to apply for grant money. With the death of Trustee Byrd Jones in December, the Library Board is down to four members. They discussed possible recommendations of others to serve on the Library Board and on the Board of Trustees of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library. SPERRYVILLE AREA — 3 Bd.

Newbill Miller, Broker 703-675-3691 Roads Continued from page 1 bridge would have to be moved up river to take out the most dangerous part of the road, he said. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey read a letter from Donald Gore requesting that Route 681 be widened and hard-surfaced from Route 231 to Route 600. He offered to donate the necessary right-of-way where the road bordered his land. Sharon Pierce, who lives on the section of Route 621 between Woodville and Route 231 said, “I like the dirt road. It gives the kids and animals a chance to get out of the way.” These road suggestions were all in Stonewall-Hawthom District. In Piedmont District John Burke, pastor of the Gid Brown Baptist Church, said that Route 622, which runs past the church contains the “worst blacktop and dirt roads” in the county. Albert Payne, who also lives on the road said, “It’s just like he said. It seems like Harris Hollow and the other hollows get help first.” Mr. Moore replied that there was money in the budget to improve the hard-topped section of that road, perhaps starting this winter. Lois Bailey said she lived on Route 614 off Route 622, also in Gid Brown Hollow. “A couple of years ago we were told you would do work on it,” she said. “We gave the rightof-way to our land, but nothing has been done. There are holes in it. They scrape it, but once you run over it two or three times, you’re right back in holes.” , “We have current funding for that area,” Mr. Moore said. “A lot depends on where we can get property owners to donate the right-ofway.” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he had heard from people on a private road east of Route 600 in Sperryville. The road serves eight residences and one church, he said. The residents had asked him to suggest that the road be taken into the state road system. Mr. Moore said he would contact residents of the road to look into the road condition. In Hampton District Fanning Baumgardner asked for improvements to six-tenths of a mile on Route 624 in Harris Hollow. Mr. Gilkey said he had a letter from another landowner on the road supporting Mr. Baumgardner. No one from Jackson District had any requests to make on road improvements, but Supervisor Ellis Bingham thanked Mr. Moore for helping move up plans for improving Route 640. In Wakefield District Phil Irwin complimented the highway department on the job they are doing and recommended they continue widening bridges along Route 729. He said that Route 630 behind Foster’s packing house often is under water and suggested that the road bed be raised. Arthur Towne of Chester Gap said he would like to see the dividing lines and reflectors on Route 610 extended. He said that he would appreciate help with maintenance of other roads in Chester Gap. Jim White asked why the lines painted on Route 647 don’t extend farther. “I hear several near accidents every day,” Mr. White said. “I’ll be glad to have my people look at that,” Mr. Moore said. The suggestions from the public will be considered, and the new sixyear plan will be submitted to the supervisors later in the year, Mr. Moore said. The supervisors next voted to adopt state motor vehicle laws as county ordinances. When the Sheriffs Department writes a citation or makes an arrest, the fines collected will go into the county general fund, rather than being sent to Richmond. The Sheriffs Department could also enforce these laws on private subdivision streets if the supervisors vote to do so, but in order to enforce speeding laws signs that meet state requirements would have to be posted. The supervisors decided to allow subdivision residents until Feb. 12 to list those streets that they wish to have law enforcement on. The homeowners’ association in each subdivision would be responsible for any required signs. Later the supervisors considered amendments to the zoning and subdivision ordinances, but decided to delay action until next month because they were not certain what effect the amendments would have. Hearing Continued from page 1 The Inn’s owners, Chef Patrick O’Connell and . Reinhardt Lynch, were praised by several speakers for the effort and vision they have shown in the 12 years since they opened The Inn in a former garage. “There is nothing you guys can’t do,” Laurie Marshall told them. But others questioned whether the success and world-wide renown which has made the expansion necessary has not also signalled the time when The Inn has outgrown its present location. And others questioned the implications for the future of the town, if a precedent is set by allowing The Inn to expand under the proposal currently on the table. David Konick suggested that the first issue “is whether this kind of project is something you’d like to see on every lot in town zoned the same. If you say ‘Yes’ to them,” the former zoning administrator said, “you have to say ‘Yes’ to any other similar proposal.” He called the project “a nightmare, and an even bigger one when you consider its impact down the road.” Mr. Konick was only one of several speakers who targeted the proposal’s probable conflict with the town’s comprehensive plan. Former mayor and council member Newbill Miller said that it is in conflict with “eight to 10” of the plan’s goals. For the proposal as submitted to be approved, Mr. Miller maintained, First Offering f|| Estate Acreage Flint Hill Area 25 acres of wooded serenity. Ready to build your custom home.

It violates every ordinance — and the comprehensive plan.” Nina Norman offered a point-bypoint summary of the goals stated in the comprehensive plan, ticking off each one which she felt the proposal conflicts with. Diane Bruce seconded Mrs. Norman’s questions about conflicts with the comprehensive plan, adding that, of the plan’s 26 goals, her review found 16 which would need to be addressed. “Your duty,” she told the planning commissioners, “is to look at the plan and rules and apply them as you see how it fits with this application.” Mr. Miller noted that, following approval of the subdivision by the Town Council last month, “that makes 13 existing or proposed drainfields” in the long arc of fields and yards on the west side of Main Street which sweeps from Blue Ridge Ave. to the Norman’s property next to the Post Office. He suggested “a detailed environmental study of the soils to see if they will accept that much sewage,” adding that the architectural firm doin& the design work “must be environmentally sensitive” to the impact of the expansion on the town’s future.

Mr. Wickens also announced that the town has authorized the printing of 100 copies of its Comprehensive Plan, which will be available next week at the county zoning office and at the office of Town Attorney Frank Reynolds. “Everyone should read it,” Mr. Wickens said of the Comprehensive Plan. “Is it a charter for our future, or should we scrap it, or amend it? That is the correct way to proceed . . . I personally like these goals,” he added, but said it can be revised, “if that is the wish of the town.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 F.T.
