In October they received the first of three letters from different employees of the SWCB informing them that they had missed an August, 1988 deadline for selecting a firm. Other letters were received in November and January. On Feb. 6, WSA member Martin Woodard wrote to the northern regional office saying that the WSA had selected a dechlorination system that would meet their needs, could be supplied by a Culpeper firm, and could be installed without the aid of an engineering firm. They have also sent specifications on this system to the State Health Department for approval. WSA secretary James E. Swindler II said that a check with the northern regional office indicated they are satisfied with this response and will halt the parade of notices of violation that could have led to fines, or even to closing the plant. Once the Health Department approves the system, Mr. Swindler said he believes it can be installed within 60 days.

Though the former manager of Washington’s now defunct Village Cafe probably didn’t get his birthday wish, the merchants and residents he fleeced before he left town last Labor Day weekend applauded the news of his arrest in Titusville, Florida last Friday, Feb. 9. According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Rappahannock County will extradite Godwin to face six felony bad check and several civil warrants in debt filed in Rappahannock County. But Godwin’s reckoning with the residents and courts of Rappahannock will have to wait, at least temporarily. He faces larceny and bail jumping charges in Brevard County, Florida, which must be resolved before he can be extradited to Virginia, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. And, after his day in court in Rappahannock, Godwin will then face a violation of probation charge in Fairfax County, a stolen property charge in the City of Fairfax, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and bad check charges in Comanche County, Oklahoma. There are a total of 10 warrants filed by businesses and individuals against Godwin in Rappahannock County for felonies, misdemeanors and civil debts, including: • Atlantic Food Services: two felony charges alleging he wrote bad checks, including one for $859.50 and another four, written at different times, which totalled more than $200. • Pepsi-Cola Co.: one felony charge alleging he wrote three bad checks worth a total of more than $200. • Paul Baldwin, of Baldwin’s Grocery in Washington: one felony charge alleging Godwin wrote a total of three bad checks totalling $788. • Arthur Neufeld: one felony charge alleging Godwin wrote him a bad check for $218. • Lewis F. Shotton: two misdemeanors alleging Godwin wrote him two bad checks, for $60 and $61.27. • Robert M. Miller, of Warrenton, who was Godwin’s lawyer: a felony charge for a bad check in the amount of $500; and a civil warrant in debt totalling $4,750 for his unpaid legal bill. • William E. Wickens: a civil warrant in debt totalling $4,500 alleging failure to repay a loan and misappropriation of See GODWIN, p. 14 'Mean-spirited' zoning legislation is decried Assembly bills seen as attempt to erode local growth controls By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer At its February meeting Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to oppose 11 bills being considered by the General Assembly which would limit the ability of local government to control growth. Most of these bills were introduced at the request of developers by legislators and senators from portions of the state which are not under much development pressure, County Administrator John McCarthy told the board. “None of the northern Virginia legislators were willing to introduce these bills,” he said. One bill, HB 709, would have required all part-time, full-time local government employees and elected officials to register as lobbyists if they wanted to “promote, advocate, or oppose legislation.” “This bill would intimidate and impede public officials from making their voices heard in Richmond,” Mr. McCarthy wrote in a memorandum he gave the board summarizing the 11 bills and reasons for opposing them. “In no way is a lo cal official analogous to a paid lobbyist. If he is to treated like one, why does this legislation not include all those members of the Northern Virginia Homebuilder’s Association who regularly petition their representatives (as well as everyone else’s) to grant them relief from the tyranny of regulation,”’ the memorandum continued. “I think this is against the Virginia constitution,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said. “This impinges on everyone’s right in this room to have us represent them.” He suggested that Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke request an opinion from Attorney General Mary Sue Terry on the constitutionality of this bill. “We can ask her to render a legal opinion, but she may not want to until the bill is in its final form or has passed,” Mr. Luke said. ‘The best defense is a blistering offense,” the retired Army colonel replied. “We can’t sit back and let it happen.” “I don’t want to bypass our representatives,” Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes said.

The announcement and awards were presented during the VPA’s annual winter meeting in Richmond on Feb. 2 and 3. According to Managing Editor Lou Hatter, the News won awards in each of the three categories of competition: writing, photography and design. The newspaper competed against all other weeklies in the state with circulation of 5,000 or less, a total of more than 40 newspapers. Staff photographer Cindy Mahan received a first place award in the photo-illustration category for her photogram, made by placing flowers and ferns directly on photosensitive paper. Her photograph of a youngster quietly resting in the hay with her heifer during the 4-H Farm Show last summer won a second place in the general news category. Ms. Mahan and Mr. Hatter shared a first place award in the photo-essay category for their photographs titled “A (Rainy) Day at the Races” from the Rappahannock Point-to-Point last spring. Mr. Hatter received a first place award for his design of the newspaper’s editorial and op-ed pages, and a second place award for sports feature writing for his story on the Tour de Trump’s swing through Rappahannock County last May. Former staff writer Daphne Hutchinson was awarded a first place in business writing for a series about the future of fanning in Rappahannock 8m AWARDS, p. 14 By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Auditioning for a place in the 1990 District IX All-District Band Concert is something Rappahannock County High School Band Director David Orth encourages among his students. For German exchange student Ulrike Kleingam, the audition lead her into the one of the most memorable as well as most challenging events while in the United States. “I have never played in a band so large,” the German trombonist said, adding that in her native country band lessons are not offered in school and her education was from a friend who played. “People take private lessons but no one learns an instrument in school,” she said, adding she usually played with German church bands consisting of 10 or 12 instruments. “There were over 80 people in the band at Woodbridge,” she said with amazement. “It is much harder to play with such a band,” she said with honesty, adding the concert music was difficult and competition was stiff. “Most of the students there have private lessons as well as school lessons and desire a career in music later,” she added, saying “each performer was a musician in their own right. ” Ulrike Kleingarn was playing with some of the best. For more than 20 years, each state district has chosen the top musicians from each ULRIKE KLEINGARN * high school’s individual talent for placement in the honor band. In December, auditions are held. “When I went in to audition,” Miss Kleingarn said with laughter, “I was very nervous. I heard another trombone warming up and I felt I would never be able to compete with such perfection.” The audition consisted of music I scales, five major key performances and two pieces of side-reading. “I wanted to try,” she said, adding she never thought she would place but she “hoped. ” Five students auditioned from Rappahannock. Ulrike Kleingarn was the only student chosen — one of seven trombone and two bass trombone performers in the entire band. “It is a very prestigious award,” band director Orth explained with pride adding Miss Kleingarn’s placement was not only recognized by him, but “other students look up to those who achieve such notice.” Woodbridge High School hosted the weekend event — students attending from a distance of more than 30 miles away were housed with host families. After a weekend of practice, a concert under the direction of a guest director is performed, usually at the district’s largest school, capable of seating an audience of 200 to See BAND, p. 14

French Slaughter Jr., announced on Monday that he will seek a fourth term as Rappahannock’s representative in the U.S. House of Representatives. He probably will not face opposition within the Republican party, but at least one Democrat, retired military pilot Robert E. Frazier Sr. of Earlysville, has entered the race. The Culpeper native, who for merly served in the Virginia General Assembly, was first elected in 1984, succeeding Winchester Republican J. Kenneth Robinson. He is a member of the House Judiciary; Space, Science and Technology and Small Business committees. With aides John Goolrick and Pam Hyde (a former Warrentonian), Slaughter toured Fauquier County on Tuesday, meeting with government officials, FHS students and the PUBLIC HEARING EXTENSION OF MOTOR VEHICLE LAWS ONTO CERTAIN PRIVATE SUBDIVISION STREETS On Monday, March 5, 1990, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County will hold a public hearing to consider the extension of all Rappahannock County motor vehicle laws not requiring the posting of signs onto the following private subdivision streets in the Blue Ridge Mountain Estates subdivision in Chester Gap in Rappahannock County: Blue Ridge Avenue Forest Glen Road Echo Road Highland Way Skyway Lane Nez Perce Way Forest Drive Hunter Avenue Apache Trail Seminole Road Cherokee Lane Sequoia Street Valley View Drive Ridge Drive I All those persons interested are invited to attend and to make comments Yes!

The rapid changes in Eastern Europe “are very encouraging, but we must keep up our guard. I don’t think we can let hostile countries be in a position of imposing their ideas on us, as we’ve avoided for about the last 50 years,” he said. The so-called peace dividend might have implications in Virginia, which is home to several military bases, said Slaughter. Catastrophic health care insurance has long been one of Slaughter’s primary concerns. He helped lead the defeat of a bill last year that, he says, “was not funded equitably.” About the recent Social Security trust fund controversy, Slaughter said, “I don’t know which proposal will finally get out of committee. They’re talking about a five-percent reduction. I just want to be sure that an equivalent amount of money will be there when funds are being drawn down.” The popular, three-term Congressman said he hasn’t studied a proposal by Sen. Robert Dole, RKansas, that would divert foreign aid funds from Israel to the blossoming democracies in Europe and Central America. “It’s worth considering,” said Slaughter. His nomination is anticipated at the May 12 Republican Seventh District Convention in Charlottesville. He then face the Democratic challenger in the November General Election.

Special exception bill held for'91 session By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — A House committee’s action to carry legislation limiting the use of special exceptions and special use permits over to the 1991 session has left local governments uneasy and developers confident about the bill’s future. The legislation, which would have added one sentence to the existing state zoning law, had local governments and environmentalists outraged. The bill, they said, would restrict localities’ ability to control and manage growth. Introduced by Del. Frank Hall, D-Richmond, the bill stated that “special exceptions and special use permits shall not be used to regulate, control, or prohibit the subdivision of land or residential density.” The measure would significantly alter the zoning practices in several counties, including Rappahannock, in which the use of the special exception provides a government review of certain residential development projects. While the House commit tee on Counties, Cities and Towns voted not to send it to the full House, the bill was held to be addressed next year. Those in support of the legislation admitted that they had not expected the bill to pass this session, but rather, hoped to signal to legislators that there exists some abusive uses of special exception. The bill, said Hall, provided for what he called a “little prayer” service, allowing developers to vent their frustrations about what they say are unfair uses of the special exception rule. “It is being used to control resi dential development,” explained Sid Jacobson, a Fauquier County developer. “Special exceptions are meant for unique and unusual zoning situations.” Jacobson described the county procedure as a means of downzoning land. A developer is then “required to argue his way back,” he said. Georgia Herbert, a member of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, defended the county’s use of the special exception, explaining it as “a mechanism by which developers can increase the number of houses they can build." “I find that surprising to say the least,” responded Jacobson. “It is used to authorize larger projects than are authorized by right,” Herbert said. She described the system as three-tiered. A landowner may be permitted to go beyond the by-right zoning through the special exception rule. To receive more than the maximum permitted density, the landowner must apply for a rezoning. With disagreement as to the purpose of the special exception tool among their concerns, legislators opted to wait a year before acting on the bill. While C. Flippo Hick of the Virginia Association of Counties acknowledged that there may be some over use of the special exception rule, he said Hall’s legislation was far too broad. It would restrict uses of the special use permit in localities with conservation districts and agricultural districts, said Hicks. “I don’t think that’s what he intended,” said Hicks. County receives Clean Virginia Award The 1989 Governor’s Clean Virginia Awards were presented to 65 programs representing 92 localities, including Rappahannock County, for their comprehensive litter prevention and recycling programs. The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY), representing Rappahannock County, received the Department’s Award of Recognition for the third straight year. The county’s program is ad ministered by Litter and Recycling Coordinator Nina Stamer and County Administrator John McCarthy. Communities who receive the top ranked Governor’s Award of Excellence will be presented plaques and Clean Community road signs. Localities earning the Award of Merit will receive plaques. Those localities receiving an Award of Recognition or an Award of Appreciation will be presented certificates. Snip and Sava In four MMOOCX < Contact; BROOKS’ Business Services Kovto 1.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Once again the old toll house on U.S. 211 is abustle with merchant activity. Fitting like fine decor with the ancient log walls and chinking, the shop’s growing selection of guns, ammunition, fishing equipment, outdoor clothing and other items related to the sport are starting to fill the two small rooms as Wolf Mountain Traders enters a new outdoor sport season. An interest in firearms is in the blood of the McCoy family. John, his brother, Downing and their father Quentin needed litte encouragement from a relative to begin a shop. “There is only one place around here that sells guns,” John McCoy said. “It’s been a real dream of ours for years.” Though the three began the business, Downing found obligations elsewhere more demanding and withdrew from the business, leaving John and his father to man the shop. Testing the ground before making the jump, the two opened their door just part-time. Each evening from 3 to 7 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., the two enter the tiny shop to sell guns, giving their heritage new dimension. Guns, old and new, are part of the McCoy family’s heritage. Selling them is something new tor both men. “The love of guns has been in our family for three generations,” Quentin McCoy said, explaining that his father before him was a tradesman, lover and owner of guns, in a day when guns where less regulated and more of a necessity to a man. “This is the first time we’ve had a store,” he said, leaning his feet against the wood stove, which spreads warmth and atmosphere into the tiny room whose walls are measured with gun barrels and bows. Glass cases keep handguns dust free and hunting supplies stand waiting for purchase in each corner. Opening just weeks before hunting season in Rappahannock, the McCoy’s found business steady from their Nov. 4 opening through the Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G.

Juggling evening and weekend shop hours around daytime jobs, the two found business successful as the demand , for hunting supplies and seasonal gifts grew. “We stock several types of handguns, assault rifles and hunting rifles,” John McCoy said, adding each held its own position in popularity though with new regulations taking effect, the assualt rifles are in demand. “People think they are going to be hard to get in the fiature,” the younger McCoy said. Guns hard to come by, guns of unique quality or age, common bar rels or their accompaniments are sold and re-sold by the two firearm merchants. “We try to keep the price down,” John said of the merchandise, explaining with the end of hunting season comes the beginning of fishing season and with it a whole new demand for equipment and supplies. “We’ll try to have whatever the customer wants,” he said, adding the business emphasis is on trading, keeping the Wolf Mountain Traders logo active. “We check the blue book and make a deal,” he said, explaining mostly guns are traded. The quality and age of each measured and priced for resale just like automobiles. “We emphasize the trading aspect of the business,” John said, adding he and his father don’t intend to make their fortune with the small shop, “just serve the community and enjoy our hobby — guns.” Besides a hobby, the men have a love for firearms which is un-measureable. “It’s part of us,” John said of the family’s interest in guns. “My grandfather gave me my first gun when I was five-years-old.” Through the years, his own interest and love for guns grew while his father’s experience was broadened. “We make a great team,” the older McCoy said, adding that his experience helps him buy or sell a firearm while his son’s organizational and business skills keep the shop running smoothly. “I could not find a better partner,” he added with pride. Propagation workshop at Arboretum Designed for nonprofessional gardeners, this workshop will introduce participants to plant propagation methods through lecture, slide presentations and demonstration. Cuttings of boxwood and other arboretum specimens will be used by participants to learn rooting techniques. Also featured will be how to take spring divisions of perennials and starting seeds of unusual and attractive annual and perennial flowers. Those who attend will take home a seeded flat containing a variety of flowers as well as several choices of perennial divisions and cuttings prepared for rooting. Enrollees should bring gardening gloves, pruning shears and a notebook. The Orland E. White Arboretum is located on the grounds of the University of Virginia’s Blandy Experimental Farm in Clarke County on U.S. 50 about 10 miles east of Winchester. It is the State Arboretum of Virginia.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15.1990 Editorial Name that tune That the Commonwealth is in the hands of megadevelopers and land speculators has perhaps never been better demonstrated than in the enthralling drama now unfolding in the General Assembly featuring a bill involving special exceptions and several others embracing the latest lahd-use buzzword, “vesting.” The sway that developers enjoy was demonstrated when their agents extended their long arms of influence across the state from Northern Virginia to the south westernmost district and found a legislator who would sponsor one of their vesting measures. No legislator from Northern Virginia would touch it — or another similar bill that also surfaced before it was pulled from consideration this week by its sponsor. That measure, from Del. Thomas Jackson, D-Wythe, was the most expansive. It proposed to freeze zoning, use or density of a parcel of land once a locality has accepted proffers in rezoning cases. Other legislation proposed by Del. Jackson would provide a landowner with vested rights in his zoning and immunity from subsequent zomng ordinance amendments once the local governing body has accepted proffers, granted a special exception with conditions, or once a landowner has filed a preliminary plat. Scott County Del. Ford C. Quillen’s bill, which has gone to the Senate, would prohibit local governments from amending their zoning ordinance provisions or proffered conditions once land is rezoned subject to the proffered conditions. Earlier this week, the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns carried over until next year a measure introduced by Del. Frank Hall, D-Richmond, that would outlaw the special exception process, used by a few counties to regulate, control or prohibit the subdivision of land or residential density. The measure would significantly alter the zoning practices in counties including Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun, where the use of the special exception provides a government review of certain residential development projects. It is disappointing that some legislators are buying the developers’ drivel that the issue involves “landowner” rights. Ordinary landowners have little to do with it. The common thread which ties all these bills together is a blatant attempt to limit the ability of localities to control or regulate growth and development. What the developers and speculators are interested in is obtaining land and turning it over until the prices are spectacular and they can make fortunes beyond the ordinary landowners’ wildest dreams. All this isn’t surprising in a state that still suffocates under the Dillon Rule, through which localities can only exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to them by tht Commonwealth. SOME WANT TO CHANGeT THE FACE OF MY TOWN... AND I CANNOT ALLOW J this/_v*r/T Rappahannock News photo/Lou Haller THOUGH IT RAINED SUNDAY evening in Sperry ville, Monday morning brings snow to the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Mr. Smoot was conned To the editor: I was embarrassed for Clabert Smoot at the Town Planning Commission meeting three weeks ago. For months, Mr. Smoot has been critical of Newbill Miller relative to Mr. Miller’s involvement in developing the current Town boundaries. Prior to the Planning Commission meeting someone, whom Mr. Smoot trusted, convinced him that Mr. Miller was not responsible for the boundaries. As a result, Mr. Smoot had the dignity to publicly apologize to Mr. Miller. Sadly, Mr. Miller did not, in reply, acknowledge that he was indeed responsible for the current boundary survey. In maintaining his silence, Mr. Miller effectively accepted Mr. Smoot’s misguided apology sod gave credibility to a lie. I’ni, not sure I understood who Mr. Smoot’s unknown confidant blamed for Mr. Smoot’s boundary problems, but I believe it was me. Such an allegation is preposterous and I can’t imagine how it was “sold” to Mr. Smoot. During the period of the survey and public hearings, I was still new in Town. I was not a participant in town government. My wife did not become a Council member until the new survey was already on record and the subject of public hearings. I did not even see the new Town boundary map until a year or two later when amendments were being considered to the Zoning Ordinance. The creation of the Town boundaries was, as is public knowledge, a virtually one-man effort by Newbill Miller. In a letter two weeks ago in the Rappahannock News, Mr. Miller emphasized the individual responsibility of each member of the Town Council for the actions of the Council. During the redrawing of the Town boundaries, Mr. Miller was initially the mayor and later a member of the Council. As such, he supported the new boundaries. Furthermore, during the period, Mr. Miller made arrangements for the survey and provided the guidance to the surveyor. He participated in the rejection of other notions such as using U.S. 211 or existing property lines as Town Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper. We encourage our readers to express their feelings on matters of public concern. “Letters to the editor” provides a forum for your opinion. Letters should be concise and not exceed 250 words. Letters that are too long may be edited due to space limitations. Whenever possible, letters should be typed and double-spaced. boundaries. Although work on the new boundaries was not completed until shortly after Petal* Kramer became mayor, Mr. Miller was still the force which drove the process to completion. This is not to say that I believe there was anything wrong with the process which developed the current Town boundaries. Since last year when I was involved with the issues of the properties that straddle the boundaries, I have discussed the process which occurred during the survey with several people, including Mr. Miller. I am convinced that the process was handled in a legal manner. I understand that Mr. Miller considers it one of the major achievements of his administration and I regret that he did not publicly acknowledge it at the Planning Commission Meeting. If Mr. Smoot would like an independent view of what happened, I recommend that he talk to either Peter Kramer (who was mayor after Mr. Miller — when the new boundary was ratified although he made no decision) or Doug Baumgardner (who acted as town attorney. The individual who spoke to Mr. Smoot also apparently tried to indicate that some people in Town are privileged while he is not. He asked Mr. Smoot why the owner of the house next door could build an addition, while Mr. Smoot could not build a house for his daughter. Since I once owned the house next door, I take this personally. The comparison is obviously invalid and meant to discredit me before a citizen of the Town. Mr. Smoot can also build an addition to his house, just as I did. Indeed, I believe his house already has an addition. Further, I could not build another house on the property next door any more than Mr. Smoot can build one on his property. There is no difference between our rights. I don’t know who spoke to Mr. Smoot. Too 'hiuch of what is done in Town these days is done by people without names. Whoever he was, I strongly question his sense of integ nty. To put it simply, Mr. Smoot — you’ve been conned. STEWART WILLIS Washington To be considered for publication, they must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number.

No coercion intended To the editor: I know I will not have the last word on this subject, but I hope this can be my final response. , A reliable person told me Ray Gooch did not pay Virginia state income tax. He was given the opportunity if a problem existed to correct it himself. No coercion was intended. I did not know for sure that he did not pay state income tax until he stated that he did not at a Town Council meeting. The Virginia Dept, of Taxation would not release this information. Ray Gooch drives a car with Washington, D.C. tags with no Rappahannock County sticker. He pays the equivalent of Virginia state income tax to the District of Columbia and holds public office in Washington, Va. In my opinion this is wrong; and if it is not illegal it should be. This information was not given to the Rappahannock News for a story. The L.O.M.P. Subdivision was the purpose of my ^visit to the the Rappahannock News. The possible Va. income tax issue was told to Lou Hatter in the strictest of confidence, which he agreed to keep. I told him I could not confirm the information that was given me. No friend or attorney has been asked by me to help in this matter. Numerous offers of help have been made. The offers were declined with sincere thanks. To quote me as saying I would do whatever I have to do to defeat The Inn’s project is so far out of context that it makes the charges a lie. I shall continue to oppose The Inn’s project in an honorable and ethical manner. I have no knowledge about the innuendo concerning political bodies. And most people live in glass houses. NEWBILL MILLER Washington Opinion unchanged To the editor: My views of the L.O.M.P. Subdivision have not changed since I read the Town Council’s response to my letter. My objections are still valid. I have a very high personal respect for Brad Fisher and Peter Skowronski and sincerely regret this public difference of opinion. My major differences with the Council’s letter are: 1) . The 60-day time limit for approval or denial of the application. I doubt that the 60-day clock was running since all of the required information was not submitted. If it was, the application should have been denied until the required information could be examined by the Planning Commission and Town Council. The letter implies that the Planning Commission recommended disapproval of the L.O.M.P. Subdivision because the required information was not submitted. The Planning Commission’s minutes state that denial was recommended because the application did not comply with section 6-8-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance (off-lot septic) among other reasons. 2) . Personal interest was technically an error on my part for which I apologize. This should have stated, Evelyn Willis disclosed that she had done business with The Inn; the gross or net, not clear Which, did not exceed $10,000. 3) . Waived requirements, not variance granted. Paragraph 4-1-4 which covers variances, exceptions and waivers requires “extraordinary hardship" to the developer before any of the above can be done. Hardship cannot be financial. The “ex traordinary hardship” was never identified nor established. 4) . Off-site drainfields make sense for existing lots whose septicfields fail. To subdivide new lots that cannot safely provide a satisfactory, primary and alternate septic fields is’ poor planning and should not be done. ! To allow off-site drainfields or existing lots does not establish a percedent to allow off-site drainfields' for new subdivided lots. Planning is supposed to prevent the mistakes’ and correct the problems of the past. 5) . Minimum lot size: I realized' 2 part lots existed. However paragraph 2-32 of the Subdivision Ordinance does not allow a boundary line, adjustment in this case as the lots divided and the lots created do not conform with the minimum lot size stipulated by the Zoning Ordinance. The point is if the laws do not allow something the Council wants to' accomplish then the law should be. amended or a variance granted. The law should not be ignored. ; “Extraordinary hardship” was* not identified or established as required by the Subdivision Ordinance* before granting the waiver for offsite septic fields. A boundary line adjustment was' made on lot 7 even though it does not qualify for a boundary line adjustment as defined in Paragraph 2-32 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Poorly drained soils that cannot be used for a satisfactory septic field are spread all over town. Certainly these soils are not unusual or extraordinary. NEWBILL MILLER Washington

Rappahannock County, 2010 An old man's memories • • By JAMES P. GANNON lUpiMhannock Newt Contributing Writer Let’s see, I guess it must have been around 20 years ago when it all started. Seems like it was around 1989 or 1990 when the money fever really hit Rappahannock County. Before that, Rappahannock was a quiet, rural county. You could actually drive down old Route 211 at a leisurely pace, watching the black angus grazing in the fields. What’s that son? Black angus? Well, black angus were cattle, you know, like cows. I forget you haven’t ever seen a cow. Used to be a lot of them around here. Anyway, as I recall it began around the time those two nice fellas who ran The Inn at Little Washington decided to expand. Hey, Mabel, what was their names? Yeah, Rinehart and Peter. They added this big wing to their Inn, see. It had a swimming pool and all. Real fancy. Folks just came from all over to stay there and eat. Best food anywhere, some of them said. It was a fabulous success. Yep, that Inn did a lot for the town. Lots of tourists. Good for business. Everybody made more money. Sort of changed the psychology around here, I think. You know, you see your neighbor really making it big and you wonder, why can’t I get on that gravy train? Pretty soon all kinds of ideas started popping up. That’s when the first golf course in the county went in, son. You know, the small one down along Route 522, south of Woodville. Those folks hit it big. Naturally, that led to the ski resort up the road Perspective FORMED IN 1833 FROM CULPEPER AND NAKED FDR THE MPP*h*nmc* RIVER. HEADWATERS OF which IK THIS about two miles, and the Bowiarama at Sperryville. Before then, you could drive down Route 522 and never hit a stop light. Can you believe it, son, there wasn’t a single fast-food place in the county then. Where did folks eat? Well, lots of times they actually ate at home. Then there was the cafe in Little Washington, where the Outlet Mall is now, and a cute little spot in Amissville called the Lom-bar-dy Lunch Room. But it had to go when Rock-N Roll Acres, that theme park, got built. Some of the folks got pretty mad at Peter and Rinehart. But you couldn’t blame them, really. They were just making their buisness grow. ’Course, when the town had to put in that new sewer system, which tripled everybody’s property tax, well, you could say that led to some pretty hard feelings for a while. It was no surprise when those two fellas sold their place to Marriott. I mean, how could they have refused so many millions? And you can’t blame them for what Marriott did. That 14-story hotel was Marriott’s idea, not theirs. And it wasn’t all bad. Lots of jobs came to the county. All those fellas you see parking the cars and directing traffic now — well, they used to be farmers. Used to have a lot of farmers around here in those days. Back when we had the cattle here. I guess it was progress. Everybody said it was. Me, though, I was pretty grumpy about it. See, I used to live in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. then, in Fairfax County. We had progress up to our eyeballs there. Tyson’s Comer. Interstate 66. Metro trains. Condos. Take a number at the hard ware store — that sort of thing. I got sick of it, son, so I bought the land in Rappahannock. Just to have some quiet, some open space. Used to come out here to listen to the birds sing, and the wind in the pines, and to walk along Blackwater Creek — which wasn’t really black water then like it is now. It was wonderful. You’d come Budget review a torturous process SEN. KEVIN G. MILLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Most members of the General Assembly are now spending many hours in an effort to comprehend the biennial budget. Reviewing the twoyear budget of approximately $26 billion, involving several documents with hundreds of pages, is a tortured process of cross references and frustrations due to insufficient information. Members of the Republican Caucus have discussed and taken a position on several issues relating to the budget and the budgeting process. All of these proposals have varying degrees of bi-partisan support. We should merge the Secretary of Administration with the Secretary of Finance. These secretariats are both small and very related. The state’s judges should be put on the same footing as other state employees with regard to retirement benefits. We should end the practice of each judge receiving three years of credit toward retirement for each year of service. This could save $5 million per year. There appears to be a great need for restructing certain functions among agencies where there is overlapping or duplicate services. For example, five agencies handle employment training: the Virginia Employment Commission, the Governor’s Department of Personnel and Training, the Department of Oliver places in wool contest Liz Oliver, a 4-H’er in Rappahannock County, placed eighth in the 1989 Virginia Make-It-With-Wool Contest. She placed eighth in the statewide contest in a field of 18 participants in her age group of teens 14-18 years old. Ms. Oliver entered a wool suit that she tailored. The Make-It-WithWool Contest is a sewing contest for youth and adults to construct a garment of wool fabric or fiber. Liz is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Oliver in Woodville. Film series continues The fifth in a series of films by local film-maker Tom Davenport will be presented free of charge on Saturday, Feb. 17, in the Marshall Community Center. The series is sponsored by the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department in cooperation with the Marshall National Bank and Trust, the Fauquier Library, and the Warreijton-Fauquier Optimist Club. For more information, call the center at (703) 3643886. Economic Development, Labor and Industry and the Social Services Department. The General Assembly should have a recess of several days after receiving the budget, or require an earlier submission of the budget to allow legislators time to digest the budget, before the General Assembly convenes. We should, I believe, retain the practice of beginning the budgeting process with the Governor’s proposed budget, and we should retain the line item veto. However, the General Assembly must regain more control over the critical responsibility of the appropriation of state funds. Kevin G. Miller, a Republican from Harrisonburg, represents Rappahannock County in the Virginia State Senate. ?

Like a painting, sort of. And you’d just cruise along by yourself, lost in your thoughts, and you wouldn’t have to watch the traffic closely — ’cause there wasn’t any, way back then. But then they Fairfaxed the place. They didn’t know they were Fairfaxmg it, and they didn’t really mean to Fairfax it. Naw, it just started out with a little bending of the rules. They called ’em zoning variances, or special exceptions, or something. You know, a little variance here, a little special exception there, and pretty soon you’ve Fairfaxed the place. Sort of like a creeping disease. Once it’s in the blood, it infects everything. Oh, there I go again, dwelling on the past. Just like an old man, isn’t it son? But I like remembering how it used to be in Rappahannock. You run along son, I think I’ll just close my eyes and dream me up some cattle, and try to remember how the wind in the pines used to sound. James P Gannon is a Washington, D.C.-based journalist and a land owner in Rappahannock County, where he plans to retire, if it hasn’t been Fairfaxed to death by then. 20 YEARS AGO February 19, 1970 Airman First Class James R.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men". Here Jesus speaks about people who are religious but that’s all they are. They have traditions and rituals, but they are empty, vain and powerless. Their walk with God is one of lip service, but their heart is far from me, Jesus said. God is neither pleased nor impressed with that kind of worship or devotion. God desires us to love and worship Him from the heart. He want’s it to spring trom our hearts, because we love and adore Him. "Christianity is the great Love affair", between God and His children. Those who have been born-again enter into a personal relationship with Him, which is not a relationship of rituals and traditions that are empty and vain. We love and worship and fellowship with the Father from the depths of our heart. Not with shallow empty lip service. If you desire to move from a relationship that is empty, shallow and lifeless, into one that is full and rich, the first step to take is to find you a New Testament Church which displays authentic New Testament life, where you can be taught the word of God and grow in faith, and where you can leam how to have a full and rich relationship with God. As you do this you will experience a freshness come into your life! AMEN!!

Virginians prize their honey By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent For thousands of years honey has been used a natural sweetening agent. Colonies of bees were brought to Virginia sometime before 1620. Early settlers valued the bee for its honey and wax productions. Little I did they know that without the bee, jcrop production would be basically •zero. | It was not until the 1800’s that * the bee’s true importance was k learned. Many think that a bee’s tmain contribution to man is honey, i. However, without the bee, we k v y - would not be enjoying most fruits and vegetables. As much as one-third of our total diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants. Even the meat and dairy industries depend on the honeybee for pollination of legume crops, which make up a major part of the feed for livestock. Storage and use Honey will keep for prolonged periods of time if properly stored in tightly closed containers at room temperature. Varieties of honey crystallize at various rates. Most Virginia varieties are slow to crys_ A__ tallize. If crystallization does occur, simply loosen the cap and place the jar in hot water no hotter than your hand can stand. Crystallization does not harm the honey, but too much heat can alter the flavor and color. The Homy Cookbook by Joe Parkhill (Favorite Recipes Press, Nashville, Tennessee) which I received several years ago from a friend who is a member of State Beekeepers Association, offers several cooking/baking tips when using honey. These include: • One cup of honey is equal to 1 1/4 cups sugar. When substituting honey, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used. • Since honey is more acidic than sugar, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey. • When baking with honey, bake at a temperature 25 degrees lower than the recipe calls for to prevent over-browning. • Store honey at room temperature rather than in the refrigerator. Keep it slightly covered and in a dry place. • Honey tends to keep foods moist and tender. This extra moistness tends to prolong the shelf life to these baked goods. Therefore, if you’re baking goodies for kids away at college, in the service or friends out of town, bake with honey to insure freshness. Types of honey Virginia honey comes in a variety of types and flavors. The most common type is liquid, where the honey is extracted from the wax comb. Honey is also marketed in the comb — chunk style, which is liquid containing a piece of the comb — or in a spreadable, whipped form. Flavors Flavors of Virginia honey are influenced by the trees or plants from which the bees collect the nectar. Tulip poplar honey is the most popular type, according to the VDACS guide. It is distinguished by a dark USDA Choice Beef LONDON BROIL OR TOP ROUND ROAST SUN. 18 MON. 12 TUES. 13 WED. 14 THUR15 FRI. 16 SOT. 17 Prices in this ad good Monday, Feb. 12 thru Sunday, Feb. 18, 1&90. 12 Ounce / 24 Pack wi [I »1 PS?

In fact, small,amounts of poplar are added to other varieties to add color. The much acclaimed Virginia flavor, sourwood, a lightcolored honey from the Appalachian foothills region, is prized for its distinct sweet taste. Other flavors include black locust, thistle, wildflower, clover and apple. Although honey is classified according to flavor, there is no absolute guarantee that the bees collected the nectar from a specific plant. However, research has shown that most bees travel no more than five miles from the hive and have a high fidelity to one floral source. There are numerous places to buy honey in Rappahannock County including the local fruit stands, gift shops and beekeepers. The following recipes are ways to use some of our delicious Virginia honey. If you would like additional information on cooking with honey, call the Extension Office at 675-3619 and request a copy of the Virginia Honey Guide published by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Honey whole wheat bread 2 pkgs. active dry yeast 5 c. warm water (110 to 115 degrees) 6 tblsp. lard or other shortening 1/4 c. honey 4 c. whole wheat flour 1/2 c. instant potatoes (not reconstituted) 1/2 c. nonfat dry milk 1 tblsp. salt 6 1/2 to 8 c. sifted all-purpose flour Sprinkle yeast on 1/2 c. warm water; stir to dissolve. Melt lard in 6-qt,. saucepan; remove from heat, add honey and remaining 4 1/2 c. warm water. Mix whole wheat flour (stirred before measuring), instant potatoes, dry milk and salt. Add to saucepan; beat until smooth. Add yeast and beat to blend. Then with wooden spoon mix in enough all-purpose flour, a little at a time, to make a dough that leaves the sides of the pan. Turn onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and satiny and small bubbles appear, 8 to 10 minutes. Place in lightly greased bowl; turn dough over to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough, turn onto board and divide in thirds. Cover and let rest 5 minutes. Shape into 3 loaves and place in greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) about 50 minutes, or until bread tests done. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks. Makes 3 loaves. Note: You may use 1 c. mashed potatoes in place of instant potatoes. Combine with the honey-water mixture. Peanut-honey yams 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 4 medium yams, cooked, peeled and halved or 2 cans (16 oz.) yams, drained 1/3 cup chopped salted peanuts 1/4 teaspoon salt Melt butter in saucepan; stir in honey, spices and salt. Heat and pour over yams in shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with peanuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Makes 4 servings. This snack for children attracts kids like bees to a blossom. It could be that kids like shaping the bees or making the cocoa powder stripes. It could be they like the almond wings. But I think it’s the honey-peanut flavor that keeps kids buzzing around for more. Honeybees Equipment: Mixing bowl, measuring cups, measuring spoons, wooden spoon, waxed' paper, baking sheet and toothpick. 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 tablespoon honey 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder 2 tablespoons sesame seed 2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ Unsweetened cocoa powder Sliced almonds In a mixing bowl use a wooden spoon to mix the peanut butter and honey. Stir in the dry milk powder, sesame seed, and wheat germ till well mixed. Lay waxed paper on a baking sheet. Using a teaspoon at a time, shape the peanut butter mixture into ovals to look like bees. Put on the baking sheet. Dip a toothpick in cocoa powder, then press gently across top of bees to make stripes. Stick in almonds for wings. Chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes. Makes 28.

Parents' Night ends hoop season By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Panthers wind up their basketball season before a home crowd on Friday night, facing the Manassas Park Cougars. The game will also mark Parents’ Night for the Panthers, when the team members’ parents will join them at halftime for a recognition ceremony. Rappahannock is fighting a seesaw finish to their season, which started strong but has sagged in the wake of three consecutive close losses, including two one-point defeats to district-champion Central last Wednesday and Strasburg last Friday. The Panthers bounced back, however, to defeat George Mason in Fairfax Tuesday night, 49-33. , Q Coach Gary Leake, in interviews following last week’s losses, that his team’s efforts have lacked the intensity displayed during the first half of the season. “I believe we have a trait of falling behind and getting in a hole early. We can’t continue to rely on fighting back,” the veteran coach told the Northern Virginia Daily. The team’s offense has been consistent, Coach Leake continued, with a balanced offense still one of the team’s strongest points. Against Central, Julian Groves scored a season-high 24 points while snaring 12 rebounds off the defensive boards. Paul Hitt collected 11 points, while Benji Roy added another 10. Despite a see-saw game, which saw the Panthers free throw shoot ing down drastically from the more than 50 percent average for the season, Central battled back from a deficit of 57-52 with less than twominutes left. After Central sank a shot to bring the score to 57-55, Julian Groves hit an outside shot to widen the gap to 59-55. But the Falcons refused to fold, working the ball to the open man and hitting an outside three-point shot to draw the deficit to one, 59-58. With only seconds left, Central’s Chad Kibler braved the Panthers’ pressure to hit the game-winning shot, leaving the Falcons victorious, 60-59. The story was much the same against Strasburg on Friday, with the Rams playing the Panthers down to the wire and sinking the game-winning point on a free throw witfa three seconds left. Strasburg pulled out the win, 6160. It perhaps provided some consolation to the Rams, who fell to Rappahannock in a triple-overtime loss earlier this year. Charles Robinson had an outstanding game for the . Rams, contributing 28 points — nearly half the team’s total — for the evening. On the Rappahannock side, Paul Hitt led the offense with 14 points, followed by senior exchange student Francisco Vicente with 13 and Julian Groves with 11. On the road Tuesday against George Mason, Rappahannock regained some of their earlier season composure, dominating the Generals to break their three-game losing streak with a decisive 49-33 win. The win Tuesday evening left Rappahannock with a 12-7 record overall, and a 9-6 record in the Bull Run District. The Panthers are holding onto third place in the district, despite their lackluster play in the season’s second half. Central, meanwhile, wrapped up the district championship with another win Friday night against Manassas Park, leaving the Falcons soaring at a 16-2 record, and 13-1 in district play. Their only loss came against Rappahannock in their first meeting of the year. The district tournament will be held at Warren County High School in Front Royal next week. The first round will be played on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 19 and 20. The semi. final round will be played Thursday, Feb. 22, followed by the district championship contest next Friday, Feb. 23. Dangerous devices The Food and Drug Administration continues to warn against the use of so-called “reducing wraps” and rubber garments, which are often sold as adjuncts to weight-reduction schemes. The rapid and excessive loss of fluids is dangerous, medical authorities warn. Fluid loss can lead to dehydration and upset the body’s chemical balance, causing mental confusion, physical weakness and even disruption of the heart muscle.

Pump Continued from page 1 The WSA also is moving closer to finding a way to get its Sperryville customers’ holding tanks pumped out. The three-year contract with Rosebud Septic Service of Culpeper was concluded in December 1988. WSA members have been trying since then to find a less expensive method of handling the problem, and have considered buying a truck and having plant manager Tim Falls use it to pump approximately one tank per week and put the effluent in the sewage treatment plant. To do that, however, will require another permit from the state Health Department. Mr. Swindler said he had talked with Joseph Burner in the Culpeper office and felt it would not be difficult to get the permit. Mr. Burner indicated he needed some figures on how much would be pumped and how it would be regulated, Mr. Swindler said. If most of the tanks are pumped on a rotating three year Cycle, with three larger tanks being pumped yearly, and all the tanks were pumped completely empty, plus adding in a 20 percent factor for growth in the system, WSA members figured they would be pumping 72,000 gallons in a year. The plant has a capacity for 15.000 gallons a day. WSA members voted to apply for a permit for up to 72.000 gallons to be pumped from the tanks yearly, but calculated that they would probably be pumping less than half that much, since they would normally be taking the sludge out of the bottom of the tanks, not pumping them empty. They also voted to request that they not be required to install another tank to hold the sludge, releasing it gradually into the main treatment plant, since they would normally be adding less than 500 gallons at any one time to the system. WSA member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he knew of a pumping truck they could buy for $4,500. The truck has a new pump and 15,000 miles on a rebuilt motor, he said. The WSA voted to let the owner know they are interested in the truck, but not to buy it until they have a Health Department permit to pump sludge into the treatment plant. Band Continued from page 1 300 spectators. “The music is chosen by the guest conductor,” Director Orth explained, adding that each piece was of “university level work which is very challenging” for the high school musician, who have not played together before. “The intensity of the rehearsal is exhausting,” he said, adding that regional choir participants receive their music weeks in advance while these specially chosen band students see their music for the first time at their first rehearsal. “When we arrived, we began rehearsal,” Miss Kleingam said, explaining the first day at Woodbridge High School the rehearsal was grueling, lasting from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m. with 45 minutes for dinner and two 50 minute breaks. “We all were very tired,” she said. The rehearsal did not end there. On Saturday the students practiced until 5 p.m. and were back to the school early Sunday afternoon for one brief rehearsal before the concert Sunday afternoon, Feb. 4. “It was so much fun,” the young German student said, adding the music as well as composers were new to her though the performance was exciting and different from any she had participated in before. Awards Continued from page 1 County. Her entry included stories about the sale of the Foster family farm in HunUy, an interview with Extension Agent Tommy Williams and a story about Rolf Graage’s fallow deer farming operation at Piedmont Farm in the F.T. Valley. The newspaper’s staff also received a second place design award for excellence of general makeup, reflecting the newspaper’s design as a whole. Editor Hatter said of the awards, “The small weekly category is extremely competitive, and seeing the work of our peers is a real complement to the excellence of community journalism in the Commonwealth. We are proud to be recognized by the VPA, but we realize that these awards are only an incentive to continue the tradition of excellence which the Rappahannock News has established. “The real judges of our newspaper,” he added, “are our readers — the residents of Rappahannock and our surrounding counties.” First Offering.

Kevin Miller) won’t help us much with this one,” Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s another one sponsored by his brother.” Del. Clinton Miller of Woodstock sponsored the bill to require county officials to register like lobbyists. The House Privileges and Election Committee killed the bill last Wednesday. “The ground swell of local governments’ opposition was intrumental in convincing swing votes on the Committee,” Mr. McCarthy wrote in a note sent Monday to the supervisors. Del. Miller also sponsored a bill that would force localities to allow mobile homes that are at least 19.5 feet wide and skirted in Agricultural zoning districts. That bill passed the house and is now in a Senate committee. Similar bills have passed the house and been killed in the senate before. Robert Dennis of the Piedmont Environmental Council said, “We’re concerned that the General Assembly is setting curbs on what kinds of land uses to allow in certain zoning districts. If mobile homes are acceptable housing, they should be allowed in all zoning districts.” Another of Del. Miller’s bills that Mr. McCarthy brought to the supervisors attention would have limited the ability of public bodies to hold public hearings on subdivisions. That bill was killed in committee. Another bill introduced by Del. Miller would eliminate groundwater studies before granting subdivision plats. This last power Rappahannock and other jurisdictions sought last year and received when Sen. Kevin Miller sponsored the bill in the Senate. This bill has passed the house and is in committee in the Senate. Another bill Mr. McCarthy brought to the supervisors’ attention was HB 677. It said that “Special exceptions and special use -permits shall not be used to regulate, control, or prohibit the subdivision of land or residential density.” “Our special exception process for more than three lots on a parcel of land dating from 1975 would be completely invalidated,” Mr. McCar SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980. Excellent References thy said. In Rappahannock, subdivisions of up to three parcels in Agricultural zones are handled administratively by Mr. McCarthy’s office as long as all parcels are at least 25 acres. To create more lots a special exception is required. Special exceptions are also being used to keep more space open by clustering residential lots in Agricultural zones. Under this last provision subdividers are allowed to cut off lots that are smaller than 25 acres as long as the average density is one house per 25 acres or more. The Board of Supervisors has enforced this by requiring that the deed on the remaining residue state that its development potential has been reduced by the allowed subdivision. If the bill passed, presumably there would be nothing to keep the county from being divided into 25acre parcels. However, ironically, unless Rappahannock’s Zoning Ordinance was amended, in fact, any parcel could only be cut into three lots, each 25 acres or larger regardless of the size of the original parcel, Mr. McCarthy said. He added that he would expect pressure to amend the zoning ordinance. That bill was killed by the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns. Three of the bills Mr. McCarthy brought to the supervisors attention have to do with landowners having “vested” rights to certain uses of property. Two of the bills said essentially that “once a parcel of land is rezoned subject to proffered conditions, the local governing body cannot amend the zoning, use, or density permitted at the time of the rezoning except upon written application of the owner.” Mr. McCarthy suggested that these bills were ones the county could live with, but they do “negate a governing body’s ability to respond to changed circumstances.” A third “vesting” bill, introduced by Del. Thomas Jackson of Hillsville in Southwestern Virginia’s Carroll County, “provides that a landowner SPERRYVILLE AREA — 3 Bd.

What is ‘materially changed his financial position?’ The Virginia Supreme Court has said vesting takes place at final site plan or subdivision plat approval, legislating around this is bad law, and bad faith with the taxpayer,” the memorandum continued. Since the supervisors’ meeting many changes have been made to the “vesting” bills. One, House Bill 721, has passed the house and is in committee in the Senate. Another vesting bill, an amended version of Del. Jackson’s, was killed in the house Tuesday. Another bill Mr. McCarthy brought to the supervisors’ attention * would have reduced from 90 to 60 days the period of time a planning commission has to consider a rezoning request. This bill was killed in committee. Another bill would have shifted the “burden of proof on zoning map amendments, zoning ordinance text amendments, or special exceptions from the applicant to the governing body.” This bill was also killed in committee. Mr. McCarthy’s memo concluded, “I urge the board to oppose every one of these pieces of legislation as frightening inroads on the very limited authority of the Board Spring Time Farm 104.208 acres with ponds and streams, 60% open, completely private, a 200 year old log cabin with one bath. $550,000.

Andy Guest and Sen. Kevin Miller explaining Rappahannock’s objections to the bills.
