School budget asks 'for 6% salary boost By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The School Board got a taste of the budget Superintendent David Gangel will submit in March at its meeting last Tuesday evening. With no additional monies expected from the state, indeed with the strong possibility that Rappahannock will get fewer dollars from Richmond, Dr. Gangel said he will ask for a six percent across-theboard salary increase for school system employees. He will also attempt to make teachers’ salaries more competitive at both ends of the scale. This year Rappahannock ranks 114th out of 134 school systems in its starting salary, 52nd for a teacher with 10 years experience, 88th for a teacher with 20 years of experience, and 104th for a teacher with 30 years of experience. Also with the new budget, Dr. Gangel said he hopes to begin phasing in a salary scale for bus drivers and to increase the school system’s portion of employees’ health insurance premiums. Next year’s budget may include returning the library aide to a full time position and hiring a science teacher for the primary grades, Dr. Gangel told the board. It may include money for renovating the earth science lab, or at least for planning the renovation. Dr. Gangel said he will also ask for two replacement buses, one with a wheelchair lift. Money for enlarging the parking area for buses at the bus shop will be needed once fourlaning U.S. 211 gets underway this summer, he said. Currently most of the buses are being parked on highway department right-of-way. Dr. Gangel explained the budget will also have to be increased to pay for doing a leak test on the fuel oil underground storage tank at the elementary school and for buying leak insurance. Next year’s budget will be formally presented to the School Board at a work session March 6. The School Board formally approved a new six-year plan, that covers only two years, and agreed to move into a“ whole language” reading program as part of that plan.” Whole , language” reading emphasizes learning by reading and writing rather than doing work sheets. The new six-year plan also calls for increased emphasis on science, particularly in primary grades. Spanish instruction will be increased by adding it in seventh grade next year and at the high school the following year. Designs to renovate the earth science room at the high school will start next year and renovations will See RAISE, p. 14 Warm spell continues; but cold is in forecast * ’ By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer After December’s blast of cold air — ranked nationally as the fourth coldest on record — chilled the country through and through, a wanning spell was welcomed by nearly everyone. It’s lasted nearly six weeks and has many people, as well as some unsuspecting shrubs and spring foliage, preparing for spring. Those preparations may be somewhat premature. State Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville said his office predicts the warm temperatures to slowly drop to normal or below nor mal toward the end of the month. “This abnormally warm weather will be departing and the second half of the month, we may see temperatures cooler than normal,” Dr. Michaels said, adding the storm following this past weekend’s precipation may bring snow, reminding everyone that spring has not yet arrived. “Temperatures are going to start to slide down,” Dr. Michaels said, adding that the long range forecast by his office for February through April predicts temperatures to be below normal. Temperatures for the last month See WEATHER, p. 14 Boundary line adjustment offer draws no takers By LOU HATTER # Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Not a single town resident has yet filed an application for a boundary line adjustment to eliminate lots split by the town/county boundary, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. The agreement between the town and the county on this one-time offer to move the boundary line, set next Thursday, March 1 as the deadline for surveys and requests for the adjustment to be filed in Mr. McCarthy’s office. The agreement was reached last December after months of negotiations between the Town Council and the Board of Supervisors through Mr. McCarthy, Town Attorney Frank Reynolds and County Attpmey Peter Luke. It was sparked by complaints by town resident Claybert Smoot, who alleged that the boundary adjustment made when the town was rechartered in 1984 took a part of his property formerly within the town limits and placed it outside the line. The result, Mr. Smoot alleged, is that a lot he owns that he intends to give his daughter no longer meets the minimum lot size necessary to build on. The problem was created by the new boundary line, which splits about two dozen lots around the town. There are only a few, however, which because of their size do not meet the minimum lot size requirement in either the town or the county. Realizing that there were other, large lots which are cut by the boundary, but because of their size may still be divided, the council agreed to address the inequity. A solution first proposed by Planning Commissioner Stewart Willis last July was refined and became the joint resolution on so-called “straddle lots” adopted in December. It set three conditions for inclusion in the offer: • the parcel must be four acres or less in size. • at least half the parcel must lie within the town as currently defined by the boundary line. • the parcel must have been in existence in 1985 when the town’s new charter and surveyed boundary line was approved by the Virginia General Assembly. • the applicant must provide a survey of the property under consideration. That survey must show the new boundary line and its intersection with the parcel’s boundaries, the total area within the town and the amount in the county, and a certification that the parcel was a lot of record at the time the new boundary was approved. The agreement also explicitly stated that this adjustment is a one-time offer, and that anyone who owns a qualifying “straddle lot” and does not file for the adjustment will not get consideration at a later date. The plan was that all applications be submitted to the Town Council and the Board of Supervisors for a joint public hearing. Assuming approval of the requests, they were to be submitted to the Circuit Court of RappahanSee BOUNDARY, p. 14 Deadline nears to file candidacy for town election By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the filing deadline only two weeks away, Washington’s Mayor Dean Morehouse is alone in declaring his intention to run for re-election. Declarations of candidacy must be filqd by 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 6 in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Diane Bruce. The town election will be held May 1. Councilman Reinhardt Lynch, who was appointed last year to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Nan Thomasson, did not return several telephone calls asking about his intentions. However, on Monday his business partner, Patrick O’Connell, said that as far as he knows Mr. Lynch plans to run for election to the council but his declaration has not yet been filed in Ms. Bruce’s office. Councilwoman Evelyn Willis has announced that she will not run for election to a third term. “It’s nice to have a change of faces, with different people representing the town,” Mrs. Willis said of her decision. “It has nothing See ELECTION, p. 14 Work detail til mm *«-■ i 1 *g •• Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter PREPARING THE STEEPLECHASE COURSE, members of the Rappahannock Hunt take a break during their day-long work detail last Sunday.

Wood, Betty Welch, Colleen Dennis, Charles Sisk, Nancy Yowell Starr, Gordon Thornhill, Betty Brown Overhulser, Barbara Wayland Blalock, Evelyn Sisk Dellinger and Myrtle Burke Falls. Of the 15 graduates, all but three attended, along with teachers Mary Quaintance Snead, Pauline Bruce and Stella Dennis Johnson, and all enjoyed an evening of reminiscences, photos and other memories of the past 40 years. First responders learn basic first aid Who usually arrives first on the scene of an accident? Though the police are usually there quickly, often bystanders or witnesses are there already. In a serious accident, a critically injured victim may need help within six minutes if he or she is to survive. If those bystanders had basic emergency medical skills, lives could be saved, according to a spokesman for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council. If more people had basic first aid training, and police and sheriffs department personnel have first aid knowledge, they could render assistance while waiting for fire and rescue units, he suggested. Beginning on March 7, the EMS Council is sponsoring a First Responder course. This 40-hour class will teach the basics of emergency medicine, focusing on what can be done by the first people on the scene to render critical care to severely injured victims. The course will be held on Wednesday and Sunday evenings from 7 p.rn. to 10 p.m. at the Culpeper County Rescue Squad building on Route 229. Upon completion of the course in April, graduates will receive certificates as First Responders from the state Division of EMS. There is no charge for the class, but there will be a nominal fee for the textbook. “This course can save lives,” an EMS council spokesman said. rinmn ___JNCQHPQHATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2ndS»t 10i.m.

The EMS council is urging firefighters, police officers and dispatchers to take a basic first aid or first responder course. “Dispatchers need specialized training because they must make critical decisions to save lives. In som^qrban areas, less than 20 percent of dispatchers are trained in rescue procedures.” Fire and rescue personnel cooperate at the scene of many emergencies, including car accidents. Firefighters gain access to the patients, using extrication tools like the “Jaws of Life,” while the rescue squad members provide medical treatment. That way, rescuers can concentrate on patient care while the firefighters use their expertise to get to the patient and clear a way for him to be removed.

Newest revenue forecast figures deepen state's budgetary gloom By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspaper* Richmond Bureau _ RICHMOND — Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s budget recommendations were largely successful in the General Assembly money committees Sunday, despite his additional cuts and adjustments to accomodate an added $267 million ^lortfall announced last week. But differences between the House and Senate committee amendments to the $26 billion bud'get pit higher state employee and 1 teacher salary increases against recordation tax returns to localities. The House Appropriations Committee approved budget amendments, recommended by Wilder, -granting state employees and teachers a 4V2-percent raise in 1991. Under the proposal adopted by the Senate Finance Committee, Virginia employees and teachers would receive a five percent raise next year. The Senate’s call for a half percent higher increase would cost the state nearly $60 million more than the House version. Another area in which the House and Senate differ is in the deferral of money scheduled to be returned to local governments over the next two years, beginning July 1. The Senate plan defers giving $80 million in state recordation taxes to localities for two years. The House, on the other hand, has attempted to return a portion of the tax on real estate transactions this biennium, deferring the return only three months. Under the House proposal, the ‘ state would save $10 million each year and return a total of $60 million to localities starting Oct. 1, according the Del. Richard Cranwell, DRoanoke. ' Republican and Northern Virginia legislators have said they want the recordation tax returned to the localities. Under the legislation passed last year, Northern Virginia would receive nearly half of the $80 million. Fairfax County would’re;.ceive $11 million and Loudoun County $3 million in fiscal year 199091. The House and Senate were scheduled to vote on their respective budget plans on Wednesday. However, the fate of the recordation tax will inevitably be decided in a conference committee of both houses in the final days of the session. In addition, both committees approved a revenue reserve fund of more than $201 million, which was requested by Wilder in his State of the Commonwealth address. Wilder said that the reserve money could be used to fund salary and benefit increases for teachers, state employees, college faculty and other local employees supported by the state. The two committees ensured that the governor would stick to his word, inserting language to earmark the reserve for that purpose. The two committees also worked out a plan to continue the construction of state capital projects slated to be funded by lottery revenues. Former Gov. Gerald L. Baliles put a halt to most projects when he learned that revenues for the next biennium would not meet original projections. A $100-million construction loan fund has been created by the committees to restore funding to the frozen capital projects, using money borrowed from the Virginia State Retirement System (VSRS). The loan would be repaid in August once funds for the projects are released from this year’s lottery earnings. Other committee proposals for additional spending include: • Both houses proposed dividing the Secretaries of Transportation and Public Safety into two offices as recommended by Wilder, requiring a total of $222,000 in non-general funds in addition to the single secretariat position. • $1.8 million is allocated by the Senate version to expand the current statewide dropout prevention program. The House plan allocates $9.1 million. • $1.3 million is recommended by the Senate to support AZT treatment for low-income persons who cannot afford Medicaid. The House proposes $1.4 million. • $5.9 million is proposed by the Senate to maintain current services for foster care, in-home care for the elderly and disabled, and doctors providing obstetrical care. The House plan provides a five percent increase for the foster care program and $3 million in 1991 to integrate long-term care services at the local levtel.

The assembly committee work is a result of six weeks of labor in which revenue projections have gone from bad to worse. Wilder broke with tradition last Thursday, appearing before the House Appropriations, House Finance and Senate Finance Committees to report the revised fiscal state of the Commonwealth. The most recent figures reveal a $267 million budget deficit. Shaving and shuffling of numerous budget items was necessary to fill a nearly $67 million hole in the budget for the remainder of the 1989-90 biennium and close a $200 million gap for the next biennium. While states surrounding Virginia also illustrated a slow growth pattern in sales and corporate tax collections in recent months, state economists are perplexed by absolute no-growth trend in individual tax collections. “What we’re seeing in Virginia is nowhere reflected in other states in the south,” said Paul Timmreck, secretary of finance. “We have never before received seven months of collection with... no growth.” “It appears that no one knows what the revenue will be,” commented Del. Alson H. Smith Jr., DWinchester. “There is certainly more uncertainty in regard to the individual income tax than there ever was before,” responded Timmreck. ‘We cannot afford to end this session and leave this place only wishing, hoping and praying, in other words, speculating on the economy’s future and its ability to sustain state needs,” Wilder told the money committees. Wilder recommended further cuts in state agency operations, additional savings achieved by reprojecting expenditures, and altering the distributions to localities to reflect the updated forecast.

Richard's Engine Sales & Service Rt. 29, Leon, VA • 547-2121 Have tour lawn mowers serviced now—Beat the Spwng Rush Revised pension package wins slim approval; will save $111 million By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The House Finance Committee narrowly approved a revised pension tax package expected to save the Commonwealth $111 million in the next two years while maintaining equity among retirees, supporters say. By an 11-7 vote, the committee adopted legislation that would do away with the hastily-approved pension tax plan passed by the 1989 Special Session in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s March ruling. Similar legislation breezed through the full Senate on Tuesday, Feb. 13. The major difference between the two plans are the earning that the retirees would be able to exempt from taxation. Also, an $800 exemption in the current plan would be eliminated by the Senate and retained by the House. The current retirement subtraction program omits a large number of retirees who do not have a formal retirement plan, but rather rely on rent, interest or other items that are not considered retirement income under the present law. Both versions attempt to amend the legislation to resolve the inequity among different retirees. The proposed House plan would give those 65 years and over a $12,000 exemption on earnings after Social Security or other non-taxable retirement income is subtracted. Pensioners ages 62 to 64 would be able to reduce their taxable income by $6,000, after Social Security and non-taxable income have been subtracted. The Senate version eliminates tax relief now given to pensioners ages 55-62. The plan would allow pensioners 65 and older to exempt $13,000 from taxation, less Social Security and Railroad retirement benefits. Also under the Senate package, those 62 to 64 would receive a $6,500 exemption, minus Social Security and railroad benefits. The difference between the two plans is expected to be ironed out in a joint conference committee in March. The Northern Virginia Delegation has revested that the state finance department research what local retirees from Northern Virginia are not tied to the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System and, therefore would fall outside the plan.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22,1990 How far we've come This month marks the annual celebration of Black History Month. It is a time when all Americans, not just black Americans, should pause and remember the accomplishments and sacrifices of all our country’s citizens — of all colors — who have advanced the cause of racial equality. This year, as we mark also the 25th anniversary of the beginning of organized resistance to segregation, it is a time to measure the progress which has been made in the past generation. Much has been accomplished. There are now black congressmen, mayors and —just last month — our own Commonwealth became the first state in the nation to gain a bbwtoman as its governor. ■J. / Whether or not Jesse Jackson would make a good president is debatable; but the fact that his candidacy would hayeJbeen unthinkable a quarter-century ago is not. i JTheie are now many opportunities open to blacks which weifCelosed to their parents. Most of the institutional barriers of fascism are gone. But what remains is perhaps even more subversive because of its roots in the structure of our society. That racial hatred was evidenced last month by the cross-burning in ■ Tiger Valley. Although it was apparently, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, a prank in the most extremely bad taste, the fact remains that the symbolism inherent in the burning cross remains. It is that attitude which needs to be addressed now. Overt discrimination by skin color is almost universally recognized as wrong. The overtures by the white minority government toward the black majority in South Africa is one measure of the universal recognition that segregation is not morally acceptable. However, the underlying stereotypes which fuel segregationist feelings remain — both in South Africa and in the United States. It is that attitude which needs to be addressed — through education, through example, and through a willingness to treat other people, regardless of their skin color, by the Golden Rule. It requires an open mind, and an open heart. But it is the only attitude worthy of the greatest nation in the Free World. If we are to be a beacon to others, we must lead by example through our own conduct. That conduct and attitude is not one which is dragged out of the closet and dusted off each February in celebration of B&ck History Month, and then sanctimonously folded away uttfilthe next year. It is one which requires daily effort. It m9st be fostered, not only in our own lives but by our examples toward others. • Only in that way can the idea of racial equality be realized, and with it the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. and the others who died in its pursuit. The fulfillment of that dream would truly be a fitting monument to their memory. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan - A BOAT SITS READY for some warm weather fishing on a pond off the Fodderstack Road. Letters to the editor Voters get last word lo the editor: I apologize to the people of Washington — for being a dull person. So dull that Newbill Miller (and William Wickens, his real estate investment partner and cohort in this affair) had to use tax returns and auto tags to attack my integrity in their efforts to get me off Town Council. Boring! And, having already asked for opinions about filing State tax returns and voter registration, I am not now going to ask DMV or anyone else whether it is (or, as Mr. Miller says, it “should be”) “illegal” for me to serve on Council without Virginia tags or a county sticker on the car I drive. Neither is required to vote or to hold Town office. An office holder must be a registered voter. A voter registrant must be a US citizen, a Virginia resident, never convicted of a felony and never adjudicated to be mentally incompetent. To the best of my knowledge, I met those qualifications when I registered in 1985 and I still do. The fact that I agreed to serve on Council — at the urging of my nextdoor neighbor, Mrs. Newbill Miller — to fill the vacancy created when Dorothy Clater moved from Town in 1987, may, in light of recent events, raise questions about my mental compentency. But, I’ve been told you don’t have to be paranoid to think somebody is out to get you. INTRODUCED 77 6/U$ TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO control growth/ • ■ i it. w GENERAL ASSEMBLY DEVELOPERS If Mr. Miller wants to know why the car I drive is registered in D.C., he can ask Mr. Wickens. I explained why to Mr. Wickens several months ago when he told me I should have Virginia tags on my car, because, in his opinion, it didn’t “look right” not to. If I were trying to avoid state or county auto registration requirements, I wouldn’t be driving a car around Town with “GOOCH” tags on it. As to the last word, Mr. Miller, it’s not yours or mine. It won’t come from the Tax Department or the Voter’s Registrar or even Attorney General Terry. The last word on this subject — which is what kind of government Washington will have —belongs to the voters in the May 1, Town election. So, lighten up, Mr. Miller — or, at least, spice it up. This newspaper has to sell papers to survive. RAY GOOCH Washington No con job To the editor: Last week you printed a letter from Stewart Willis. I am not exactly sure what the point of this letter was, but I would like to answer it since the letter mentioned my name seventeen times. In stating that I was “conned” by some unnamed person that Mr. Willis goes on and on about, he implies that I am too ignorant to find out what is going on in the town for myself. The fact is that anybody with some common sense can see what has been goipg on in the town government for the past few years. Certain people get their problems solved through a variance or waiver just for the asking, but other people who have lived here all their lives can never seem to get straight answers to their problems. I wasn’t conned by anyone, Mr. Willis, including the way you tried to make it sound like you felt sorry for me and the problems my family and I have had over the change in the town boundary line, when all you really wanted was an excuse to write a .letter to the paper that makes Newbill Miller look bad. Newbill Miller has been off the town council for four years. It’s about time the people in town government stopped trying to blame everything on Newbill, and started accepting some of the responsibility for their own actions or inactions. CLAYBERTSMOOT . Washington A double standard? To the editor: Had Stewart Willis known the facts about how Claybert Smoot and I solved our differences he would not have needed to develop his fictious theory. We simply agreed to let bygones be by-gones. No reasons, excuses or explanations. I had nothing to do with, nor do I know who talked to Claybert about the boundary line or Stewart Willis’ house. Everybody knows I supported the county/town boundary line agreement, but my role was not as large as Stewart Willis stated. The Board of Supervisors and Town Council agreed on the location of the county/town boundary line. Mr. Smoot’s problem with the boundary line is that he cannot divide a lot from his property without a Town boundary line adjustment because he does not have enough land in Town to comply with the minimum lot size of the zoning district. He is not allowed to use the land he owns in the county to meet the minimum lot size. However, lot 4 in the L.O.M.P. subdivision meets the minimum lot size in it’s zoning district by using land located in the county. Smells like a double standard tome. NEWBILL MILLER Washington Compromise urged To the editor There has been much talk the past few weeks about the Inn’s plans for expansion. Opposing views have been expressed with passion and questions of ethical propriety have been raised. Unfortunately, some vital issues have been lost in the storm. While I personally favor moderate growth of the Inn and strongly believe that it is in the best interest of the community as a whole, I am most concerned that these issues be addressed openly and in a manner that is suited to allowing everyone involved to make up their own mind. The days are gone when a village like Washington can be managed adequately and efficiently on $12,000. Yes, at one time that seemed possible, but now the town is having to confront deferred maintenance and capital improvement projects which were postponed in the past, but no longer can be. We now have a full-time town employee whose salary and necessary equipment must be funded. In simpler times a gracious local attorney volunteered his services to the Town Council, taking precious time away from his practice or his family. Then came a mandate from the state for comprehensive plans, defensible zoning ordinances, planning commissions, appeals, and architectural review boards, and the like, all intended to protect the vital interests of the community. All these things involved legal counsel, making it impossible to expect these services on a volunteer basis. Now, funded largely by a food and lodging tax, the town operates on a manageable budget that is many times that of ones from the good old days. What a shame it would be if the revenue generated by the food and lodging tax — so vital to the proper running of the town — were lost. It’s the residents of the town, many of whom are on fixed income, who would have to pick up the slack through property taxes or some other tax source. Well and good that some residents of the county are opposed to the Inn’s expansion. They don’t pay taxes to run the town. The town residents do pay taxes to the county. Furthermore, if the maintenance of the town falls mainly on the residents through a real estate tax, many of the residents may find that they can no longer afford to live here. Another fear often expressed, that thp Inn might strain the town’s limited septic capacity, naively overlooks the reality of the case, that the town’s decrepit septic systems and poor soil condition will necessitate a sewer system — even if the Inn shuts down tomorrow. I urge moderation and compromise on both sides. The Inn certainly knows that no small part of its charm stems from the fact that it is located in what Patrick and Reinhardt affectionately call “little” Washington. It is precisely the character, the quaintness and pace of the village that creates the ambiance which the Inn shares with the town. The owners, as well as their architect, now know how precious this spirit is to the residents of the town. I am sure they can develop a compromise plan that allows additional rooms and dining space without overpowering the gentleness of the village. Those who have forthrightly opSee LETTERS, p.5

Tobacco dethroned by smoking foes By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer The bumper sticker on the car said, “Thank you for not breathing while I smoke,” the reverse of an anti-smoking slogan. And recently when former Attorney General Anthony F. Troy, now a high powered tobacco industry lobbyist, spotted an acquaintance smoking a cigar outside the State Capitol, he said waggishly, “Better make sure you’re not in a no smoking zone.” ». Tobacco, once king in Virginia, is Jaking a different kind of heat these flays and those who grow it, process it, sell it and smoke it are hopping mad. • As of this writing, there was still a chance the General Assembly will 4>ass one or more measures restricting the right of smokers to blow Jmoke into the air around them. • Tobacco growers like Franklin blanks of Lunenburg County said, “I Jjelieve in America you should have Jhe right to do what you want to Ho...” • But the operative question is when does the right to exhale smoke 3rom cigars, cigarettes or pipes irilerfere with the rights of those who don’t smoke and don’t want to inhale smoke from others? An old Army drill sergeant of mine used to say when we took a break, “Light ’em up if you got ’em.” That would be hardly the case in a modern military what with government warnings about smoking causing all sorts of diseases. What’s happening now in Richmond would astound the good old boy legislators of bygone days, who hailed from southern and Southside Virginia areas where politics and tobacco always mixed. Some recall a young upstart legislator from Northern Virginia who suggested an additional tax on tobacco to help finance education. When he came before a committee, a powerful delegate from bright-leaf country told him cuttingly, “Now son, one of the things you’re gonna have to learn is that you just don’t come down here and mess with Ibacca.” * But tobacco is being “messed Letters Continued from page 4 posed the Inn’s grand plan would do well to consider that a compromise is prudent and in the best interest of the community. When the Town Council was working on the Comprehensive Plan and town ordinances, the people of the town were very vocal. They felt both were too restrictive and denied rights they thought were basic to property owners. The Council responded, in effect, “Let’s zone tightly, and when you have a plan, come to us and we will be open.” They did just that when Skippy Giles asked for a change in zoning. I hope they will weigh everything in this case also, and allow the Inn warranted expansion. This is not a no-win situation. The Inn has been like a pebble tossed into a pond — its benefits have rippled through our community, town and county alike, in the form of added revenues, jobs, and a clean tourist industry that provides •a hedge against undesirable development. Moderate expansion will further benefit us all. If denied, we .all lose. NANCY THOMASSON Washington Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Old Dominion Politics with” these days in the legislature, particularly with bills in both the House and Senate that would require no-smoking areas in public places with such places defined as “an enclosed indoor area used by the general public.” The fate of the measures, called The Clean Indoor Air Act, is still uncertain, but one has passed the Senate and both are generating a heavy amount of public support. State Sen. Thdmas J. Michie, DCharlottesville, who introduced one measure, argued it wasn’t designed to stop anyone from smoking but to protect non-smokers from the unhealthy effects of breathing smoke. Noting conclusive medical evidence that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, heart disease and other ailments, Sen. Michie said no-one should have a right to inflict on others substances “that are killers.” But one Richmond newspaper, echoing the words of the tobacco industry, has decried the bills as big brotherism. Said an editorial, “Make no mistake. This draconian legislation can only have one ultimate purpose, the destruction of an indus try that has contributed mightily to the local economy from Virginia’s earliest days and, in the process, the sacking of individual freedom about using a legal product as well.” Tobacco lobbyists were still trying to defeat the restrictive bills and to enact measures to limit the severity of anti-smoking measures that can be enacted by local governments. One tobacco lobbyist said privately that while the industry could probably live with a requirement limiting smoking areas in public places — and that it would not stop anyone from smoking who wants to smoke — “We know that won’t be the end of it.” He thinks anti-smoking groups, should they muster the votes to beat them, will soon be back with an even more unacceptable suggestion, namely that the state increase its taxes on tobacco. Compared to tobacco taxes in many other states, Virginia’s are relatively low. That fact has been lost on neither those who lobby for the tobacco industry or those who crusade against smoking. Said the lobbyist, “I’m sure they’d like to put a heavy enough load on taxes on us to discourage anyone from smoking.. .they wouldn’t be doing it for the revenue it would generate, but because they’ll never be satisfied until they never seen anyone puffing on a cigarette.” Even if the right to smoke in public places may be restricted in Virginia, as it eventually probably will be, there doesn’t seem to be any prospect that people are going to desert smoking habits en masse. And while tobacco is no longer king in Virginia, the thousands of jobs it creates and millions of dollars in revenue it produces still make it a member of the royal family. Thus, those who promote its use will not lightly abdicate to the role of commoner without many more rounds of bloody duels that appear on the horizon as the anti-smoking element of the General Assembly grow in numbers.

Tune ups Sr Repairs Sperryvllle Pike 703/825-81 66 Attend Church Sunday This week’s message brought to you courtesy of: Rev. Merlin Shorb Rappahannock. Methodist Charge Flint Hill, Sperryville and Willis Chapel "CHRISTIANS AND RATTLESNAKES” The proof text for the handling of venomous reptiles in Christian worship is Mark 16:18. Unfortunately, our English translations are woefully misleading on this text. Most of them translate the verb as "pick up," "take up," or "handle." But a quick review of the New Testament uses of this same verb reveals that when referring to the undesirable the verb is rendered "remove." And there is little doubt that serpents are undesirable in a biblical context. For example, the very same verb described a mountain to be "removed." (Mark 11:23) In another place a mob demanded of Pontius Pilate to "remove" this Jesus. (Luke 23:18) John the Baptist introduced Jesus as the one who "removes" the sin of the world. (John 1:29) The early church clearly indicated how they used this verb under such circumstances. They therefore would speak of the "removal” of serpents rather than the "handling" of them. We do not demonstrate the Lord's power by flirting with danger. Daredevils only draw attention to themselves. But God specializes in our safekeeping. Our sense of self-preservation becomes part of our Christian witness. Our security amid life's pitfalls comes from the Lord, not from our own daring. To deliberately place ourselves at risk is presumption, not faith. The handling of rattlesnakes was never intended as a means of divine worship. We can easily see how quickly such a gross error is cleared up merely by recovering the original meaning of a word. I don’t know why even the newest translations do not reflect a simple word study in this case. I do feel that the Bible will always prove reliable whenever the understanding of the early church comes to light.

After a short stay in the Bahamas, Miss Greiner and a friend crossed America by train. She has been staying with Mike and Toni Massie, where she helps care for their daughter Sophie (above). John Hammond, blues master here March 11 jonn Hammond, one of the best blues singers and players in America today, will perform at the Gay Street Theatre in Washington on Sunday, March 11 at 7 p.m. Regarded as the most outstanding solo blues artist on the scene today, John Hammond has been on the road for more than 20 years. Playing nightclubs, festivals and concert halls worldwide, he is known for his intense vocals and fluid, bass-heavy guitar picking — a one man show carrying on a blues tradition rooted deep in America’s music history. His career has spanned the recording of some 20 LP’s, appearances on anthologies with other blues legends, performance of the sound track for the motion picture “Little Big Man,” and a 1985 Grammy Award. Hammond’s early inspiration came from the recordings of Robert Johnson, the legendary blues singer r of the 1930’s. He has also been strongly influenced by a wide range of blues stylists including Willie McTell, Blind Boy Fuller, Arthur Crudup, John Lee Hooker, Son House and Leroy Carr — solo blues artists from the rich source point of the Missippi Delta. * He also plays blues by more contemporary musicians in the Chicago blues combo style. Hammond’s recordings include many songs of the great Willie Dixon, whom he considers one of the best writers of blues lyrics. John Hammond will be appearing for one night only at the Gay Street Theatre. Admission is $8.50 advance sales and $10 at the door. Advance tickets are recommended for this special event. For tickets and information call (703) 675-3193 or the Arts Hotline at (703) 675-3073. Sous chef in France by exchange David Shannon, day sous chef at The Inn at Little Washington, has been selected by The Inn to participate in a culinary exchange program in France during the month of March. He will be visiting and working in several establishments that are fellow members of the Relais & Chateaux Association — an organization of the finest privately-owned restaurants and hotels in 37 nations. A resident of Washington, Mr. Shannon has been with Tlie Inn at Little Washington since December, 1987 and is a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute. He is the son of Dr. and Mrs. David Gray Shannon Sr. of Richmond, Virginia. Employees of The Inn have participated in similar culinary exchange programs with restaurants in England, Bermuda and Mexico. These work-study programs afford Inn personnel the unusual opportunity of being welcomed into some of Europe’s most prestigious restaurants while remaining employed by The Inn. During the latter part of February, the Inn will host two British apprentices from one of England’s finest country house hotels. In mid-January of this year, Jean Pierre Cargnino — a French maitred’ — made his first visit to the United States to perfect his English and to gain experience working with an American member of the Relais & Chateaux Association. He found Washington charming, reminiscent of his home in France, and he couldn’t get over the friendliness of the townspeople.

Disabled should apply for SSI benefits Workers in the Culpeper area suffering from a physical or mental impairment which prevents them from working should consider applying for Social Security disability benefits when it appears the impairment will last 12 months or longer, said Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. Social Security disability benefits can be paid to workers under 65, disabled widows and widowers 50-60, and to unmarried adult children who become disabled before reaching 22, Mr. Hundley explained. Under Social Security, a person is considered disabled if he has a severe impairment which prevents him from doing any substantial gainful work and is expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death. No payments can be made to aais abled worker, widow, or widower for the first five full months of disability, Mr. Hundley noted. Before a person applies for disability benefits it will be helpful if he gathers certain information. This will help speed the application process. This includes: • The person’s Social Security number. • Date last worked. • Date person became sick or wap injuried. • Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals, institutions, or clinics that provided treatment. • Military service dates, numbers, and VA claim number if available.

The art works are due at the church on May 9. Entry fees are Real Estate tsf Eileen M. Day REALTOR NEW MORTGAGE LIMIT The Tax Reform Act of 1986 did not have a chance for its ink to dry before it was changed by the Revenue Act of 1987. Under the original law, homeowners were allowed to deduct mortgage interest expense on their first and second home only if the mortgage did not exceed the total of the original cost plus the cost of improvements plus the cost of qualified educational and medical expenses. In addition. the mortgage could not exceed the fair market value of the house. Under the new act. there is now a deductible dollar limit on what is called acquisition debt: debt incurred to buy. construct, or substantially improve a house. That limitation is now $1 million ($500,000 for each married taxpayer filing separately). Unlike under the old rules, acquisition debt is not limited to the fair market value of the house. This change is important for some homeowners because the fair market value may not always be increased by as much as the cost to make the home improvements.

Lean meats for heart-healthy eating My HKUSN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Good lean meat is hard to beat — not only during Heart Month — but during the other eleven months, too. Lean meat is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, including iron. Therefore, nutritionists and the American Heart Association say “yes” to meat, with a few guidelines to protect your heart. ■»' According to the AHA, beef and pork are good choices, if you remember to select lean meats with less marbling and less external fat. Even then, you should trim away visible fat before cooking. Although some cuts of meat and recipes featured here have more than 30 percent of calories coming from fat, they are acceptable if eaten in 3-4 ounce servings no more than 23 times per week. The total fat calories in a 3-4 ounce serving of these meats eaten with other lowfat items such as fresh vegetables and appetizing breads should be 30 percent or less of daily total calories. Cooking tips Tender cuts of meat are best prepared by baking, broiling, grilling, microwaving, roasting, or stir-frying. Season with herbs and spices in HOME ECONOMICS stead of salts or heavy sauces and gravies. “Prime” grades are high in fat. Liver, brains, kidney and sweetbreads are high in cholesterol and should be limited or omitted. Select leaner pork such as tenderloin and loin chops. Canadian bacon and lean ham are fine occasionally (they are high in sodium). Processed meats should be eaten only if they contain no more than 10 percent fat or 3 grams fat per ounce. Many processed meats (luncheon meats, wieners) and sausage are high in saturated fatty acids, and all are high in sodium. You will often see the words “lean”, “lite” and similar terms used to designate beef and pork that have less trimmable fat (fat surrounding the meat) and sometimtes, less marbling. These labels are also seen on processed meats and other foods. While these terms generally refer, to foods containing less fat, they can be confusing. Light may also mean light color, as in vegetable oil, or fewer calories, as in drinks. Such products are not necessarily low in fat.

It1 is tender and delicious when cooked to an internal temperature of 160 de- • grees F. Cured meats are actually some-' what of a trade-off. Although they can be lower in calories, fat, satu-" rated fat and cholesterol, the sodium content is high. The six leanest cuts of pork are: fresh ham steak, tenderloin, fresh rump half, fresh shank half, center loin chop, and extra lean cured ham (high in sodium). It’s important to remember the serving size recommended by the American Heart Association for these cuts of lean meat. The serving size is 3-4 ounces of cooked, trimmed meat or 6 ounces total for the day. , That’s not the 8 or 10 ounce sirloin ’ most of us like to enjoy outdoors on ’ the grill or in our favorite restaurant. But the point is, we can still en- * joy red meats on a heart-healthy diet • if we do so in smaller portions and use cooking techniques that do not add additional fat and cholesterol to 1 our diets. An easy way to “eye” a 3 ■ ounce portion of meat is to pick a piece about the size and thickness of a deck of cards or the size of your’ palm and the thickness of the first’ joint in your finger. The two following recipes are* from the publication “A Guide to* Heart Healthy Eating — Lean Beef1 & Pork.” If you would like a copy of’ the publication or additional infor- ’ mation on heart-healthy eating, please call or come by the Extension* Office at 675-3619.

U ^ g ■ inursaay, reoruary 12., jyyu Panthers top Rams, head to district semi-final against Page By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New§ Staff Writer FRONT ROYAL — After handily dispatching the Manassas Park Cougars in the season finale at home last Friday, Rappahannock advanced through the quarter-final round of the Bull Run District tournament Tuesday night, defeating Strasburg, 66-61. The Panthers took control of the game early, stunning the Rams with a string of 10 unanswered points in the first quarter, leading at the buzzer, 16-6. Three walking fouls called on Strasburg dulled their offense, forcing turnovers and stopping their drives cold. But the Rams battled back in the second quarter behind the shooting of junior Chris Mathews. Mathews paced the Strasburg offense, and the Rams actually outscored Rappahannock in the second period, 18-14. The Panthers were able to contain the potent scoring threat of Charles Robinson, who Coach Gary Leake warned before the game would be Rappahannock’s nemesis. “We won’t be able to stop him, but the key will be containment,” he predicted. True to his word, the Panthers worked on several defenses in practice which the Rams had not seen before, and it seemed to work as their offense was confused and unable to get a consistent attack plan going. He said the full-court press and double teaming on Robinson was something that wasn’t on the Panthers’ game films, “and it threw them off.” The press limited Robinson to two points in the first half, led by Benji Roy’s excellent man-to-man play on the 6’ 2” senior. “Benji had an outstanding first half,” Coach Leake said. But Roy is recovering from an illness, and his weakness was evident in the second half, when Robinson recovered his confidence to score 16 points, pacing the Strasburg offense. The Rams outscored Rappahannock again in the third period, 18-15, although the early deficit left them still trailing by nine points at the end of the third period, 45-36. The Rams had erased the deficit early in the quarter, pulling ahead by one point, 31-30 on a Billy Hall basket. The Rams lost their next posession on a bad pass which soared out of bounds, and the Panthers converted the in-bounds pass when Bobby Jenkins hit a jumper in traffic for the Panthers, and Rappahannock never again relenquished the lead. The Rams continued to press through the fourth quarter, again out-scoring the Panthers, 18 points to 15. And they slowly narrowed the point spread, until with just 34 seconds left in the contest Robinson hit a long outside shot for three points, pulling the Rams within one, 62-61. Those were the last points Strasburg tallied, however, as Julian Groves was fouled and hit both free throws, widening the lead to 64-61. The Rams then wasted a scoring opportunity when three shots failed to drop, and the Panthers’ defensive star Francisco Vicente grabbed the rebound and drew a foul. Vicente also sunk both his free throws, and as time ran out the Panthers were up by five, 66-61. The big senior exchange student from Spain turned in his usual aggressive game on the boards, leading the Panthers with 12 rebounds and adding 13 points for the offense. And Julian Groves turned in another high-scoring performance, pacing the Panthers with 24 points HOT IN THE LANE, Benji Roy takes aim against the Rams. The 6’ 1” senior added eight points for the game. Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan STRONG OUTSIDE SHOOTING from Paul Hitt boosted the Panthers against Strasburg. The junior guard contributed 12 points to the win. on the night. Paul Hitt had 12 points, and Benji Roy added another eight. “I’m going to be 50 before I’m 30,” Coach Leake said of the nail-biting final minute of the gaipe. He noted that the balanced offense which has characterized the Panthers’ best performances this season again saw them through. “Anytime we get three players in double figures it gives us a shot at Sun dogs Rappahanntx'k News photo/Lou Hatter HARNESSING THE SUN’S ENERGY, Tom Von Fange’s Earth Science classes at RCHS cook hot dogs by focusing the sun’s rays with a parabolic reflector. The mirror is a satellite dish antenna modified by coating it with a laminated reflective surface, which was done by eighth-graders Chris Diggs, Jason Waters, Theresa Hudson and Jason Hammond. In another science unit, Mr. Von Fange’s classes will turn the dish into a super-sensitive “ear,” using the parabolic reflector to focus sound waves onto a microphone. The dish was donated by Bernard Chesshir, principal at RCES. the win. That’s what it takes for us to win.” The coach had nothing but praise for the Rams. “We’ve heard rumors the whole season that Strasburg was a one-man team,” referring to Charles Robinson. “That’s the most false statement I’ve ever heard. Charles Mathews had a superb night . . . tournament play brought out the best in him, and he was a major factor in the game.” Coach Leake credited his team’s defensive pressure with keeping the Rams off balance and forcing their moves before they were set. And, he noted, Rappahannock shot 15 of 17 from the free throw line, the team’s best average this season. He pointed to Julian Groves’ “outstanding” offense, Paul Hitt’s offensive shooting and assists, and Benji Roy’s follow-ups and finishing of Groves’ and Hitt’s passing. “I thought it was a great game,” Coach Leake said of the quarter-final match. “Strasburg is a much better team than their record (7-14 after last night) indicates. We’ve got a lot of respect for them, after winning our first game (during the regular season) in triple overtime and losing the second match by one point.” Now, the Panthers face Page County in the semi-final round on Thursday night, also at Warren County High School. Page barely slipped by George Mason on Tuesday, besting the Generals, 50-46 in a quarter-final match. Page finished the season in second place in the Bull Run District, but their 16-4 season record belies the difficulty they’ve had all year. But Page has had no trouble with the Panthers. They are the only team which has beaten Rappahannock twice. Even the district powerhouse, Central, ranked second in the state A standings, took its one loss at Rappahannock’s hands. On Thursday, Coach Leake predicted a good game. He said the late starting time, 8:30 p.m., is a boon for his team since it is closer to their , usual starting time. After hard practices last Saturday and Monday, and a win over Strasburg Tuesday, he feels his team is ready for their rivals from the valley. “I have confidence in every player on the team. They are all capable at a given time of going out and having a big game ... the difference could be our bench support — it’s the best in the district. Those guys could be as important as the starters. “We have a team approach,” Coach Leake stressed. “We don’t count on one or two players to lead and do all the work ... it shows the other teams that we have five, six or seven weapons. If forces them to spread out.” Page and Rappahannock face off at 8:30 p.m. Thursday night at Warren County High School in the second game of the semi-final doubleheader. The winner will face the winner of the Central-Clarke County match for the district championship on Friday night. ft* rtote-.'\U/R&^f!rmore^’ ff«W» • oU p»'° ^ •^i2?ssss^ iv^aVs , - ’ : w rwwi^vr ,.*'* • _ C*"0* ...*•"' • : . • ; U2»i—-~z^\i - -""WtoteP0'^ «nl^te(eSX »• ** fcnV^6 - U °6 nna\ '°leT JU on \wquE£3^— frtOl® %3,00°“;eVAO.) iESUw** »<***!£££* Thanksto iwertAjgjg* of $100,000 o{ other Use the money ? jrftamed of. fy-pr nersooal loans -and Merchant* I BaA MemberFDlC \Sm i*j “S^gggSSc StCiWH B*MK MS jjbxcoontwio ___ n» ,Ke house minus the An* tnoriP** j f-;T market vaiu^ afiYVi1^ —

Raise Continued from page 1 be completed the following year.The transportation and maintenance departments to be combined by the second year, and an educaation fund established next year. Dr. Gangel said that the plan covered two rather than six years because “in every six-year plan I’ve seen, only the first two years were active.” The board also received recommendations from high school Assistant Principal David Smith for improvements to the the high school track. Mr. Smith presented three alternatives. The first was for a sixlane all-weather surface, surrounding a field of sufficient dimensions to meet both football and soccer regulations. The cost for this plan is $75,000 to $90,000, but could be reduced to $50,000 to $60,000 if some of the work is donated. Plan B, would be a similar track without the hard surface and would cost $30,000 to $40,000. This cost also could be reduced by donated labor and materials. A third alternative would cost $1,000 and would involve spreading and rolling gravel purchased last year and using herbicide to control weed growth. Mr. Smith said the work in Plan C will be done regardless of the board’s decision so the high school can host two track meets this season. Funds for Plan A or Plan B will have to be raised privately and a decision made by May 1 on whether either option will go forward, Mr. Smith added. If there is money for either Plan A or Plan B, construction should be scheduled for the period of May 10 to Aug. 10 so the field will be ready for the start of the soccer season. Soccer practice begins the second week of August. Dr. Gangel told the board he had signed an agreement with the highway department for C & P Telephone’s right-of-way access to buried lines at the comer where the board office’s property meets the planned four lane highway. In exchange he received a set of plans for the four-lane project. The board members studied the plans, noting that there was a potential problem because there will be only one cross-over point for the high school. If the present one-way traffic pattern on the bus circle at the high school is maintained, buses traveling west on U.S. 211 will have to go past the school and make a utum to enter the driveway. Coming out of the driveway, buses will enter U.S. 211 at a crossover and able to travel in either direction. “To do this right, we would need four officers,” Dr. Gangel said, ref erring to the Sheriffs Department traffic control duty, which stops traffic to let buses enter and leave the schools in the morning and again in the afternoon. He said that he didn’t think the Sheriffs Department would be able to supply enough deputies to stop traffic for buses. “We’ll have to deputize some teachers,” Hampton District representative Bryant Lee said. School Board Chairwoman Beverly Massie urged Dr. Gangel to contact the highway department and try to get a second crossover point at the high school. “Let them know of our grave concern,” she said. Dr. Gangel also told the board that high school Principal John Toth had been asked to try to get bids for replacing the main sewer pipe at the high school. “It’s continuing to be clogged,” he said. When repairmen come out “it’s more and more difficult for them to get snakes through it,” he said. He also said that three more circulators have broken, which are used for the heating systems at both schools. Dr. Gangel pointed out that the current budget contains no money for expenses like replacing the sewer pipe or repairing the circulators. “We’re proceeding in the red,” he said. As the school system gets nearer to the end of the budget year, he said he will recommend fund transfers from other line items which have not been completely spent to bring the line for replacement and repair of equipment into balance. In other action, the School Board: • conducted the annual evaluation of the superintendent. “The board is most pleased with his performance,” Mrs. Massie said. • learned about the new system for recertifying teachers. Teachers’ certificates now must be renewed every five years. Instead of taking six credits of college course work every five years, teachers will be able to renew their certificates through a mixture of college course work and other professional activities. • learned that Mr. and Mrs. Robert Darby are interested in giving a scholarship of up to $1,000 per year for four years for Rappahannock students to study math, science or engineering in college. • delayed for another month making a final decision on how days lost due to bad weather will be made up. • learned that the high school roof has been repaired and no longer leaks. • concurred with Dr. Gangel’s decision to seek a fellowship from the Keizai Koho Foundation to study in Japan for two weeks this summer. • appointed Elizabeth Blubaugh as the new volunteer coordinator and Gertrude Slaughter as the new elementary school custodian. Weather Continued from page 1 and a half have been anything but normal. Long-time weather watcher Dennis Wingfield from Sperryville reported that the first 12 days of February have been an average of nearly 13 degrees warmer than the average temperature for the last five years in the same time period. “The average daytime temperature for 1985-89 was 42.5 degrees,” he said of his carefully plotted temperatures for the first 12 days of February, adding this year the same time’s temperatures averaged 55.3 degrees, with a average low of 32.8 degrees, an 8.4 degree hike from the five previous years low temperature average of 24.4 degrees. While temperatures remain high, precipitation levels for last two months are normal or above, meaning water levels are adequate as spring approaches. Dr. Michaels said state well levels are at the highest level of the past decade with stream levels also above normal. December’s slow thaw soaked top and subsoil strata, creating adequate water conditions for spring. Warm temperatures and adequate water in 1990 has kept winter crops — such as winter wheat — in “good shape” according to Rappahannock County’s Extension Agricultural Agent, Tommy Williams. Spring crops are the concern. “Everything is running about a month ahead of time,” Mr. Williams said, with concern ringing in his voice as he made reference to yellow forsythia blooms and tiny tips of spring flowers like daffidols, tulips, crocuses, and snowdrops not just pushing through chilly February soil but adding colorful splashes to the brown soil. If Dr. Michaels’ predictions hold true the maples’ blooms may get snipped by the cold snap. “Unless the temperature goes down to zero or below, the tree will survive but the buds will be frozen,” Mr. Williams said, indicating that if the early growth period is snipped by a sudden frost, spring in Rappahannock may be less than vibrant with spring colors. “The trees will come back next year but the first blooms will be gone,” he explained. “Luckily, the fruit trees are not that far along,” he said, explaining that cherries, peaches, apples and such usually bloom in mid-to-late April. He also reminded residents itching to plant their gardens that even though this early taste of warm weather makes one think spring is here, the last frost can come as late as May 15. If cold weather does come our way, Mr. Williams suggest burlap covers for smaller shrubs and staked covers for prematurely greening bulbs. He suggests staked covers in order not to smash the delicate blooms into the ground. “Take them off as soon as the sun rises and the temperature is above freezing,” he recommended, adding that freeze protection really depended on how much time the homeowner wishes to invest. Persons interested in protecting shrubs and foliage from inclement weather should contact the Rappahannock County Extension Office at (703) 675-3619 for more information. Choral group seeks singers Lois Shanks, music director of the Culpeper-Piedmont Choral Society, announces there are some openings for men and women who have experience in singing four-part choral music.

The 22-year-old chorus is preparing for its, annual spring concert to be held on Friday, May 11 at the Culpeper Baptist Church.

Boundary Continued from page 1 nock County along with an agreement for a boundary adjustment by June 15. The “straddle lot” problem surfaced again at last week’s Town Council meeting, when Mr. Smoot accused the council members of approving the L.O.M.P. subdivision, whose partners are town officials, and refusing to consider his request for a subdivision of his property. “I’ve tried for six years to get one -- you’d think that what is good for one should be good for all.” Mr. Reynolds reminded Mr. Smoot that he had never filed a subdivision application. “I gave it to John McCarthy,” he replied. Mr. McCarthy serves as the town’s zoning administrator. “You were asking to subdivide a parcel which was not large enough,” Mr. Reynolds said. “I told you a year ago to check about the right-of-way problem,” he added, referring to the shape of Mr. Smoot’s lot and the question of whether it is wide enough to allow a right-of-way to the back of the property, which is where he wants to create the lot for his daughter. The town attorney continued, “You will note that in that subdivision across t|je road they had to put in a 50-foot wide road. If you can get a 50-foot right-of-way back in there you have no problem.” As Mr. Smoot continued to insist that the council members have used a double standard to prevent him from subdividing his property, Mr. Reynolds finally retorted, “Yes, and I’m sure that they put that right-ofway requirement in there just to prevent you from building that house.” “I wouldn’t doubt it a damn bit,” Mr. Smoot said in reply. Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie, who attended the council meeting, asked to be recognized. He emphasized the importance of all “straddle lot” owners making application for the boundary line adjustment before the March 1 deadline. However, as of Tuesday, Mr. McCarthy said, there have been no applications filed in his office. For more information about the requirements, contact Mr. McCarthy at the county zoning office (675-3342). In other business, the council: • heard from council member Reinhardt Lynch that he has spoken with the Washington Volunteer Fire Department about the possibility of building a permanent pad for helicopter landings in the field next to their fire hall. It could then be used for medical evacuation helicopters as well as for guests arriving at The Inn, he said. However, there are a number of questions which must be resolved, Mr. Lynch added, including liability in case of accidents and whether the neighbors would be agreeable. He plans to hold further discussions with VFD President Gene Leggett and Chief Roger Roach. • requested an opinion from Mr. Reynolds about whether package sewage treatment plants are allowed on existing lots under the present zoning ordinance. They are allowed in new subdivisions where other methods have been ruled out, but the zoning ordinance does not explicitly state whether they are or are not allowed on existing lots. • approved the vacation of the highway department rights-of-way for the two lots that make up the unbuilt Jett St. stub between the Town Hall and the Extension office. The two lots will be conveyed to the county along with the Town Hall building as part of the swap to the town for the county library building on Gay St. • approved the relocation of the Hampton District polling place from the courthouse to the Washington fire hall. The change will be effective for the town election on May 1. • heard that the first recycling effort in January was a success, with nearly three 55-gallon drums of glass, two barrels of aluminum cans and about 20 bags of newspaper taken to Amissville for recycling. Council member Ray Gooch said the recycling will again be done this month on the third Saturday, and urged residents to participate.

Mrs. Willis said she plans to remain as a member of the town’s Architectural Review Board “for a while.” Peter Skowronski, who was elected to his first term on council in 1986, also said this week that he will not seek re-election. He cited the demands of time necessary to properly represent the town’s residents as his reason. “I’m starting a new career, and looking at professional opportunities that may take me out of town for a while. “Four years is plenty long enough,” Mr. Skowronski added. “There are enough other people out there who are willing to serve -- I’d like to give them a chance. Everybody deserves to be on the Town Council at least once,” he concluded, chuckling. The other three incumbents on the Town Council have not yet announced their intentions. Brad Fisher, the town’s treasurer and a council member since 1978, said he has not yet decided whether he will seek another term. Ray Gooch, who was appointed two years ago to fill the seat vacated by Dorothy Clater, is also undecided. Mr. Gooch had said some time ago that he did not plan to run, but has indicated that the recent controversy involving an alleged attempt to coerce him into resignation may have changed his mind. On Monday, however, Mr. Gooch remained on the fence. “I haven’t really decided . .. there’s been no firm decision.” William Wickens, who also serves as the council’s representative and chairman of the town’s Planning Commission, is on vacation and could not be reached for a comment about his intentions. The names of several other town residents have been mentioned in speculation about possible candidacies, but so far none have filed the necessary paperwork. Those contacted declined to comment on the rumors and speculation about their intentions. In addition to the declaration of candidacy, a second form, the Certificate of Candidate Qualification, must be filed with the State Board of Elections in Richmond by 5 p.m. Friday, March 9. Two additional forms, a petition of qualified voters and a financial disclosure statement, are only required for towns of Washington’s size. For residents of the town who wish to vote in the May 1 election, the last day to register in order to be eligible to vote is Friday, March 31.

They are available at the office of the clerk of the circuit court, Ms.' Bruce (675-3621), from Mr. Gooch (675-3474), or from the State Board of Elections in Richmond (toll-free 800 552-9745). Bloodmobile in W'nton The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 1, between the hours of 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. with a goal of collecting 70 units. Although blood collections by the Fauquier Chapter of the Red Cross are at 94 percent of the goal at this point in the fiscal year, the demand for blood continues to increase. According to figures furnished by Mary Beth Waldeck at Fauquier Hospital, the hospital transfused approximately 1,620 units in 1989. During that period the Fauquier Chapter collected 1,358 units from donors in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. The shortfall was made up by the Washington Region, of which the Fauquier Chapter is a part.

One reason is that 0 negative is rare, found in only about six percent of the population. The hospital figures point up the importance of the Fauquier Chapter’s effort to find new blood donors. George Borjes, blood services chairman for the chapter, notes that if every one of the 25 Bloodmobiles scheduled in this fiscal year (which ends June 30) were to achieve its goal, the total would be 1,420 units, still short of the hospital’s annual requirement.
