School loidget increases 6.8% By SHARON KILPATRICK Kapp^unnock New. Staff Writer Superintendent David Gangel submitted a $4,517,345 budget for the next year to the School Board Tuesday night. This is a $289,043 or 6.84 percent increase over the current school budget. The budget, as presented asks for an increase ol $308,069 in county funds, more than the total increase in the budget, because funds from all other sources are projected to be down $19,026 from this year. In presenting his budget to the board members Dr. Gangel stressed that income figures are not yet certain because the General Assembly has not completed work on the state’s budget. However, he said he does not expect any large differences between the figures he presented and the figures that eventually come from Richmond. The budget estimates that funds from the state will decrease $113,451 compared to this year. Federal funds are projected to decrease $4,538. Other funds, chiefly monies from the state sales tax that are returned to the localities based on school-age population, are projected to increase $98,964. Approximately $238,000 of the increase in the budget is for salaries. Dr. Gangel said he gave the highest priority in the budget to funding a six percent across-theboard salary increase. “We have to continually strive to improve,” he said. “You have to improve one person at a time, and if morale suffers, it is difficult to make that happen.” In addition to the six percent raise, the new budget again compresses the teachers’ salary schedule at the beginning, accelerates the step increases at the top levels of the scale, asks for an increase in the supplement for teachers with masters degrees from $1,330 to $1,500, restores the position of library aide at the elementary school to a full-time position, increases suplements for exSee BUDGET. n. 14 RCES self-study finds room for improvement By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer This is the week the visiting committee, made up of teachers and administrators from other Virginia schools, is evaluating Rappahannock County Elementary School. The committee arrived Tuesday and will depart Friday afternoon after making their report available to the school staff. In preparation for this visit the elementary school staff has written a 192 page report, plus appendices, called a Self Study, evaluating the strength and weaknesses of every aspect of the school. Much of the report responds to specific questions prepared by state accrediting agencies. Most teachers worked on two committees which prepared portions of the report. f or the most part Kappahannock Elementary does pretty well in its staffs opinion. In most chapters of the report the committee working on that area was asked to rank how the school is doing on a scale that ranges from “much improvement needed” to “little or nd improvement needed” compared to “an optimum program” in that area. The staff ranked RCES near the middle on most of these scales, but towards the “little improvement needed” end of the scale. The staff ranked reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, physical education, music, media services (the library), food service, transportation, guidance services, the instructional staff, and the administration in the upper half of the scale. The auxiliary staff (school secretary, teachers aides, and custodians) received a rating in the top third of the scale. Science, health education, drug education, art, Spanish, health services, special education and the school plant were ranked in the lower half of the scale, but near the middle. The teachers who wrote the Self Study were particularly pleased with the school’s ability to respond to individual differences in their students’ needs, open communication with administrators, the administration’s encouraging creativity and innovation, and the use of community resources and community volunteers. Some of the concerns teachers expressed in their reSee STUDY, p. 14 Changes to land use tax laws allow more restrictions By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors considered what to do about land use taxation after the next reappraisal at their March meeting this past Monday. Paxton Marshall, an economist with the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, was invited to the meeting to discuss changes in the laws relating to land use taxation. “Use value taxation was developed to protect those people in the business of farming whose properties are adjacent to exploding growth,” he said. But, he told the supervisors, “Use value taxation taken alone has not been demonstrated to protect land against settlement.” There are strong economic reasons for this, he explained. “Land values go up, people grow old, and farming is hard work. There are strong pressures not to burden the heir who is going to remain on the land with a large debt. There are many reasons why land on the edge of large metropolitan areas continues to move into settlement,” he said. Responding to these problems, the General Assembly changed the laws in 1987 and 1988 to allow a new category of “open space” for use value taxation, and to allow localities to tighten the requirements for land use taxation. If the county chooses to go with “open space” alone, there will be three ways a landowner can qualify for use value taxation, and all will require a more long-term commitment on the part of the land owner than the current system of general land use, Dr. Marshall said. One way landowner could qualify for the lower tax rate would be to include his land in an Agricultural or Forestal District. This would mean a miminum commitment of four years and a maximum commitment of ten years. During this time the land could not be subdivided into parcels smaller than a certain size. In Rappahannock the supervisors have been requiring a 10-year commitment and a minimum size of subdivided lots of 50 acres. One difference under the new laws would be that all land in the Ag District would qualify for land use taxation except for buildings and house lots, even land that is not being farmed, Dr. Marshall explained. Another way land could qualify for See LAND USE,p. 14 11 file for* town council By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Following months of speculation that a full slate of candidates for Washington’s Town Council would not file by Tuesday’s deadline, a total of 11 residents declared their candidacies for the May 1 election. x Incumbent Mayor Dean Morehouse is seeking reelection to that post, and faces no opposition on the ballot in a bid for his second term. Treasurer Brad Fisher, first elected to the council in 1978, is also running unopposed for another term as the town’s treasurer and head of its water authority. Nine residents, including three incumbent councilmen, as well as three Planning Commissioners, are seeking the five seats on the Town Council. William Wickens, who also serves as the council’s representative to and the chairman of the town’s Planning Commission, is seeking another term. Reinhardt Lynch, who was appointed last year to the seat vacated by Nancy Thomasson when she moved out of town, is looking for his first election to the council following two unsuccessful candidacies in 1984 and 1986. Council Secretary Ray Gooch, who was appointed two years ago when Dorothy Clater resigned her seat, is also seeking his first elected term on the council. Former councilman and mayor J. Newbill Miller also filed for a seat on the council. Mr. Miller was the Hampton District representative on the county’s Board of Su- ' pervisors, until he declined to run for another term in 1987, announcing his retirement after 20 years of service in county and town government. In recent months, Mr. Miller has been an outspoken opponent of the expansion of The Inn at Little Washington. Three members of the town’s Planning Commission have filed candidacies for the town election.

Illegal dumping charged Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED against two Culpeper men, Lewis L. Chandler, 19, and James F. Bums, 23, for illegal dumping. The two men apparently were hired by a Slate Mills landowner to remove tires from his property, and the pair allegedly dumped more than 300 tires along the side of Route 607 near Boston on Feb. 22. Sheriff John Henry Woodward (left) watches as county jail inmates load some of the tires onto a highway department truck, which took them to the county landfill for disposal. The two men face maximum penalties of up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine for the dumping. Distribution of census forms begins this week An envelope will arrive in March containing an opportunity for recipients to determine government representation for the next decade and help create a picture of life in the United States. It is the 1990 census questionnaire, to be received by an estimated 106 million households nationwide prior to Census Day, April 1. Questionnaire delivery in rural areas will be made door-to-door by temporary employees of the U.S. Census Bureau. Delivery will begin March 5 and will take about three weeks to complete. In rural areas, door-to-door delivery helps ensure that no one is missed and will allow census takers to update address lists and census maps. Initial addresslisting in rural areas was conducted last summer. And, prompt return of the completed questionnaire saves money. The Census Bureau has conservatively budgeted for a 70 percent mail response rate, but every one percent of households returning questionnaires above that rate will save taxpayers $10 million. The savings will come from avoided wages and expenses for additional census workers needed to make follow-up visits. The mail response rate in 1980 was over 80 percent.

~ —i—mt. - ini RENOWNED BLUES GUITARIST John Hammond will appear at the Gay St. Theatre On Sunday, March 11 at 7 p.m. Blues-master Hammond returns for an encore By JOE MCCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Regarded as one of the champions of blues today, John Hammond has spent 20 years perfecting the style that won him a Grammy Award in 1985. His playing has carried him from the streets of Los Angeles to sold-out shows all over the world. On Sunday, March 11, this oneman blues library returns to the Gay Street Theatre in Washington. On his first visit to Rappahannock County last May, Hammond delighted the standing-room only audience with such blues gems as Robert Johnson’s “Walkin’ Blues” and Blind Willie McTell’s “Statesboro Blues.” Hammond considers himself an “eclectic blues player.” In a recent telephone interview from his home in New York, he identified the major influences on his music as Robert Johnson and other blues stylists from the Mississippi Delta during the 1930’s. “There were so many guitar technicians during that era and each had his own technique,” Hammond said. “They all operated on a realistic scale, going on the basis of their show. They played without electricity and fancy gadgets. Instead they relied on a more personal atmosphere.” The long list of performers who have collaborated with Hammond reads like a “Who’s Who” in contemporary music, crossing the genre lines from blues to pop to rock and back again. Jimi Hendrix was discovered while playing in Hammond’s band. Steve Winwood credits John with starting him on the road to success. Other musical stars who played with Hammond include Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson (all from The Band), Bill Wyman (of the Rolling Stones), Bob Dylan, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Duane Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Nighthawks, Chuck Berry, Neil Young, Tracy Chapman and Bo Didley. Like the great bluesmen he emulates, Hammond prefers to play alone. “A solo blues artist is so effec tive,” he said. “The focus is entirely on the singer and his instruments.

I’ve worked real hard to attaining this statue as a solo artist, and it’s very precious to me.” Hammond is delighted to be able to return to Rappahannock. “It’s a beautiful area and the folks at last year’s show were so enthusiastic.” That last trip, Hammond was especially pleased with the weather. “In the morning there was a wonderful thunderstorm, but by the end of the day the sun was out and everything was so beautiful,” he remembered. The March 11 performance by John Hammond at the intimate 230seat theater is again sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $8.50 in advance (available at RAAC’s regular outlets) and $10 at the door.

After complaint, Health Dept, posts spring By LOU HATTER Rapfwhannoclt New* Staff Writer Residents stopping for a refreshing drink at the popular spring on U.S. 211 just below the Skyline Drive last week found a new addition at the ancient stone springbox: Large red and white signs stating “NOTICE, Contaminated Water, Do Not Drink.” The signs have brought a flurry of telephone calls to the National Park Service headquarters in Luray, which referred inquiries to the Rappahannock County Health Department. There, harried office manager Charlotte Freeman told callers they should contact District Sanitarian Charles Shepherd. “The telephone has been pretty hot over this,” she added. On Tuesday, Mr. Shepherd said that the signs "were posted in response to a complaint received by the State Health Commissioner, Dr. C.M.G. Buttery. Mr. Shepherd added that, about two months ago, his office received an inquiry from someone who asked about the safety of the water from the spring. That person was told, he said, that the spring has been tested in the past and found to be contaminated with coloform bacteria. The caller was also told, Mr. Shepherd added, that the health department does not recommend drinking from mountain springs. Unsatisfied with that answer, the complaintant wrote directly to the state health commissioner. That letter was passed back down to Mr. Shepherd for action, he said. Mr. Shepherd said that his office was unsure about its jurisdiction, but finally determined that the springbox is on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s right-ofway, although the watershed which feeds the spring is in the Shenandoah National Park and thus under the jurisdiction of the federal Department of the Interior. As best he can determine, Mr. Shepherd said, the springbox was built during the 1930s to serve the workers building U.S. 211 and the Skyline Drive. Since then, it has been a popular stop for people seeking untreated, “natural” spring water. On weekends, lines are common at the spring, and people arriving with car trunks full of gallon milk jugs and large glass bottles to take the water home. The sanitarian said that past tests done at the spring indicated that it is contaminated with simple coloform bacteria, which he said is considered “prima facia evidence” of contamination by groundwater #• OJ s* Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter IN RESPONSE TO a complaint, the Health Department has posted warning signs on the spring below Thornton Gap on U.S.211. entering the underground aquifer which feeds the spring. Mr. Shepherd stressed that the bacteria is not the same as fecal coloform, which is considered evidence that a water source has been contaminated by sewerage. Simple coloform bacteria, he explained, exists in the intestinal tract of every warmblooded mammal, and is essential to the digestive process. However, he said, its presence in a water source indicates that groundwater is filtering into the spring from the watershed above the spring. “We know of no drainfield, feedlot or other usual source of contamination” above the spring, he said. No additional tests for contamination were done following the complaint, he said, since previous tests had indicated the presence of the bacteria. It would have been an unnecessary expenditure of taxpayers’ money, he said, “because we knew what the outcome would be.” The state Health Department does not, as a matter of policy, Mr. Shepherd said, recommend the use of springs as a water supply because of the questionable quality of the water. He acknowledged that “a few communities,” — including Washington, Virginia — use such springs for their public water supply, “but they are subject to a rigorous testing process, and come from well-pro tected locations.” That water is also treated before it reaches the town’s distribution lines. The coloform bacteria, Mr. Shepherd said, represent a minor danger to those unused to its presence in their digestive systems. For people accustomed to the water, there would be no effect, but someone who drinks the water for the first time might find “a low-grade gastrointestinal effect. They may or may not have a reaction — it depends on their sensitivity and the amount of the exposure.” He said it is not a danger comparable to the infamous “Montezuma’s Revenge” which sometimes afflicts tourists visiting Mexico and other countries where water supplies are not adequately protected. “That is a much more serious reaction,” the sanitarian said. If the department had considered the presence of the bacteria to be an! immediate danger to public health, “if there were any known chemical or disease which might be spread,” the spring would have been closed immediately, Mr. Shepherd said. As it is, he said, “we are in a delicate situation. We don’t want to condemn something which should not be — but we do not want to be a party to allowing a marginal health hazard to continue.” Most of the 35 calls to his office, he said, have been from people who have drunk from the spring for years and are concerned that their health might be in danger. When the action is explained, he added, most feel that the health department has overreacted. “No one has agreed with the complaint.” He said that further action is being discussed at the regional level within the department, “with input from the commissioner’s office.” The department is trying to balance the benefit of removing a “marginal” health hazard,Ike said, against the possible results for people who use the spring regularly. “We know that a number of people use this as a primary source of water. We have to look at the results — will our action make things worse?” In this case, he explained, closing the spring might drive those people to another place for water. “They could go to a surface source which is more grossly contaminated” than the spring. Meanwhile, however, the person who made the original complaint still doesn’t feel that the posting of signs is strong enough action. “I don’t think that we have satisfied anyone with this,” Mr. Shepherd said.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, MARCH 8,1990 Deliver the mail Most of our readers, we’re sure, have by now heard of the United States Postal Service’s proposal to raise first-class mail rates by five cents, to 30 cents. It is accompanied by an average 22 percent increase in the cost of second class mail, which includes newspapers and magazines. Other classes of mail will face similar increases in cost. The rate increase, according to a Postal Service spokesman, will cost the average American’s annual postal bill by about $10. The rate increase request, according to news reports, was accompanied by 4,400 pages of supporting documentation. We wonder how much of the Postal Service’s operating budget was spent generating that paperwork. This comes on the heels of another study which suggests that the USPS should restructure its delivery standards, allowing a longer time for delivery of mail to more distant locations. The USPS Board of Governors, in requesting the increase, pleads that the service requires more than $7 billion in new revenue each year, most of which must come from postage. Meanwhile, the Postal Service has apparently been wasting its resources on innovations like no-lick postal stamps — advertised last year as the first “peel and stick” stamps. We think that the Postal Service would be better off concentrating on fulfilling its primary mission: timely delivery of the nation’s mail. The horror stories about the USPS’s performance are so numerous that they approach legendary proportions. Our readers in the faraway suburbs of Washington, D.C. regularly call the news office to complain that their Rappahannock News does not arrive until the Monday or Tuesday following its publication. The Pony Express got mail to its destination faster than that. We hope that the new rate, which must be approved by the Postal Rate Commission which oversees the Postal Service, will allow the USPS to return mail delivery in the country to a passing grade. Right now, the Postal Service gets an “F.” I Kappanannock News phota/Lou Hatter Rappahannock Heritage WITH THE FIRST vegetable plants on sale at the Farmers’ Co-op, can spring be far away? Letters to the editor Questions require study To the editor: People with whom I have spoken who are troubled about The Inn at Little Washington’s plans for expansion have voiced specific concerns that need to be addressed by an environmental impact study. So far, those who favor the Inn’s plans have spoken of compromise. Only one specific suggestion for compromise has arisen that I have seen. “The town’s decrepit septic systems and poor soil conditions will necessitate a sewer system even if the Inn shuts down tomorrow.” So states Nancy Thomasson in a Feb. 22 letter to the editor. This suggests the Inn’s planned expansion should be considered along with a sewer system. It is this sort of undertaking — where to locate, how large, expansion capacity, whom to serve and how to finance — that an impact statement would discuss. For the rest, some of the issues of moment to those who question the wisdom of the Inn’s plans are: • The adequacy of the town’s water supply to meet the expansion’s needs, and the needs of additional development the expansion might be expected to generate. • The sort of traffic and parking problems and local law enforcement requirements that can be expected to result, especially in the vicinity of Blue Ridge Ave., The Fodderstock Road, Main St., Middle St., and Gay St. • The effects of additional lighting in the town on those who live there. • The impact on town real estate, either its value enhancement or depression, anticipated use changes and the effect on property taxes. • The expectations for the town’s residential increase or decrease. If the town’s residential population drops significantly, will the town be abolished and the area absorbed into the County? What, if any, effect would that have? On the other hand, the town’s population might be expected to increase, with calls for additional housing. Should the town annex county land? (I have heard that there is a move in the State Legislature to abolish towns or to reduce the number of small towns. Does anyone have accurate information on this issue?) • The significance of the altered look of the town if the scale of the development overshadows everything else around. If the building height and set-back limitations are changed, will the new rules set a standard for new development? • The liability to the town of a use-specific, highly expensive property when the present proprietors no longer can or want to operate the Inn. It is not inconceivable that a recession would result in the Inn’s becoming bankrupt. This is a worse case, but not the only possibility. It is also a liability for a town to rely for its success on one institution almost entirely irrelevant to it: few local people are employed at the Inn and few patronize it. Already, one argument for acceding to the Inn’s We need answers To the editor: In recent weeks I have been following the newspaper’s articles and the readers’ letters, supposedly written to you, with much curiosity. Although I realize the importance of using a public forum for the venting of personal sentiments, I am somewhat miffed at the course these communiques have taken, with the exception of a few good articles prepared by your staff. My point is, are we actually just in discussing personal problems at this time and allowing those more compelling questions of our town’s future to go unmentioned and, more yet, undiscussed? Would you, sir, be able to help answer some questions I have about the expansion plan for The Inn at Little Washington? My concerns are predominently in two areas. The first has to do with the relationship between the Inn and its surrounding community. Although I applaud Misters Lynch and O’Connell for their hard work and success, request is that the town depends on revenues from the Inn to such an extent that if the proprietors move away, the town will be financially distressed. Is the Inn a “sugar daddy?” Why isn’t there an assumption that equally successful successors would take over? And if there isn’t this expectation, what is the assumption about the future management of a multi-million dollar tourist facility? • Who proposes to finance the Inn’s expansion? Are its backers real estate speculators who have other ideas about county development? What revenues will the Inn need to generate to make its operation cost effective? A look into the history of this kind of development will reveal that in most instances, the result is to make life difficult for those already in the area and to force their replacement with wholly new and different house and business owners. An impact study would reveal if this is the probable fate of Washington. Neither the County nor the Town government has the staff to assemble the information that could throw light on the issues mentioned above, so that decisions can be made rationally. But if some public funds can be devoted to it, perhaps the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection could also contribute to the effort and encourage others to volunteer their expertise. We are a county of great wealth, even though many of our citizens are poor. With enterprise, some of our riches could be assembled for an objective study that would be of benefit to all. DIANA BIRD Washington I must ask, at what cost? This is surely not the first time your paper has been used for a debate on the actions of the Inn, and if we may judge on past performance, it won’t be the last. How has the Inn actually helped our town? By paying a higher percent of taxes, which it helped to create? By offering employment to the town’s people? Can Washington afford to plan on its future from those the Inn brings in from other areas to work here? What is the average amount of time these young people stay in the area? How much do they actually contribute to the local economy? With such a large turnover in employment, how will the Inn be able to properly run a larger version of itself? What happens if they cannot run a larger enterprise? Will it be sold to a corporation with not a single care for Washington’s history, charm, future, etc.? If the Inn is allowed to increase in size, what will happen when the owners are tired of running things and retire; as they have no family to inherit the Inn, will it again follow the previously mentioned alternative? Let us not specuSee LETTERS, p.5 Save our town To the editor: The atmoshere at the last meeting of the Planning Commission (Feb. 28) was less adversarial than It was at the first meeting. Mr. O’Connell made a conciliar tory appeal to the public, asking for the creation of an advisory board which would present the suggestions and ideas of the community regarding the expansion project of the Inn, However, this good-will gesture seemed rather attenuated as Mr; O’Connell declared the Inn was not withdrawing or modifying its rezoning application. Later on their attorney Mr. Dickey emphasized thfe point, when asked by Mr. Wickens }f “the position of the Inn was that the application was in conformance with the goals,” he replied: “Substantially.” Mrs. Thomasson read the names of 56 people who are urging a compromise. In view of the unbending attitude of the Inn’s owners it is hard to see how this could bp achieved. ; Laurie Marshall spoke elo^ quently of the “dreams” people have, and how they should try toreconcile their different views. I’d like to remind her though, th&t one person’s dream could be another^ nightmare! I was puzzled by her remark coijceming retirees, who she said art? “part of the problem,” adding: “It is very hard to make a living here.” Aft this time South Carolina is trying to attract retirees and that for several reasons. Retirees are usually a stable part of the population, they do hire many k people, pay their taxes, and give their allegiance to the community. They are, in fact, the opposites of tourists, which are viewed by some as a great boon. But the tourists’ philosophy is apt to be: “to come, to see, to conquer...and to leave;” When I was traveling in France and Italy, I have seen too many of the lovely little towns bereft of their very identity, because of the influx of tourists which created an unbalance. We have all been very lucky to live in this modest and charming town. Let’s keep it that way! FRANCINE D. NADLER Washington

tetters Continued from page 4 4 4 ^te on these \ matters, but get •oncrete answers. > Also, there is another area I’d Ske some answers on. As my property is directly connected to that which is being considered for the proposed septic system the Inn will need for its expansion, what happens in case of a “failure” as expressed in your article on Feb. 8: “Inn’s septic expansion will require planning and study.” As most residents know, my pareel of land is due southwest and its elevation is a good 20 to 30 feet below their proposed drain field. Is there any possibility of contamination to the stream running through my property and on towards ponds and water supplies for grazing livestock? I’m no soil conservationist, but gravity does have its way. If this terrible thin£ could happen, then what? Do we build a larger “sub-surface disposal system?” At whose cost? Will this increase taxes and property values, which in turn will increase other taxes? Those of us living on fixed incomes must know. Has the town council appointed anyone to investigate the health and environmental impact of these plans? Can we as a town afford an unbiased study as to the effects of such a plan? If not, where do we turn? In closing, I would like to express my pride, the concern and support of our community and indeed the surrounding residents of Rappahannock County in dealing with this matter. I hope we will be able to lay aside any personal differences and deal with the issues at hand, to see to it that we, the residents, and not outsiders will control the future of “The First Washington.” MARY V. UPDIKE Washington Quoted out of context To the editor I have two regrets about the article that appeared last week concerning the Planning Commission hearing on the Inn’s ordinance change requests. ' The first is that I made an incomplete statement at the expense of a group of people who are dear to me — those who have retired here. The Second regret is that Editor Lou Hatter chose to print the one thing I said that could have any divisive effect. I want to clarify that I value the many contributions that the retired community makes to Rappahannock. They bring a wealth of skills and insights; energy, time and money for service organizations; employment opportunities and many levels of support for the generation now raising children as well as for our children. I am grateful to live in a multigenerational community. I benefit from the wisdom and experience of people older than myself, both those who have lived here all their lives and those who have come after retiring. When I said retired people are part of the problem, I was referring to the current spiral in land prices. It is increasingly difficult for those earning their living in the rural economy to buy property and even rent here. • What I neglected to say is that I believe that I am part of the problem, too. I think that we are all part of the problem and part of the solution. And the problem is larger than high property values. The greater ipsue that needs to be addressed is how to maximize the number of dreams that can come true in Rappahannock County and minimize the damage that is done to the earth and tp each other in the process. The Inn’s big dream has called upon us to define our dreams more clearly. We are a community of farmers, business people, laborers, hunters, environmentalists, builders, government employees, artists, commuters, second-home owners, teachers, parents, children and retirees. We have different needs and viewpoints. Now is the time to tell each other what supports our dreams and what violates them. And to listen to each other. Kindergarten registration All children who are five years of age by Sept. 30 are eligible to enter School in the fall of 1990. Registration for children who Yrill enter kindergarten for the first time this fall will be held at Rappahannock County Elementary School ,on Wednesday, March 14 and Thursday, March 15. Friday, March 16 will be reserved in case an additional day is needed. ' “ The hours are from 9 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. by appointment. Parents should call the school at 987-8259 to arrange a mutually convenient time. All children inust be accompanied by an adult. ; j Virginia law requires that parents of children who will reach five years of age after Sept. 30 and on or before Dec. 31 who wish to enter their children in kindergarten this year be counseled by school division personnel on the advisability of early entrance. Counseling will be available during registration. If, after counseling, the parents still wish to enroll their children in kindergarten, the children will be tested with a state-approved test to determine whether or not they are ready and the parents will be advised accordingly. Our public schools are engaged in the gruelling task of selfstudy this year. The Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community is holding weekly meetings to get input from the community on its services. And the Inn will be undertaking a systematic communication process with town and county residents. This is an exciting and difficult time of self-definition, learning and decision-making. If we do not take care in this process, and if we ride rough-shod over the land and each other, then we will become like Fairfax. And, please, if my actions overstep your dream, tell me about it directly — like Grace Sims did when she called me up and said, “What in the world do you mean by ‘Retired people are part of the problem,’ Laurie?” With direct communication, my dream will have a better chance of success because it will be based in a larger reality. LAURIE MARSHALL Washington Gov. Wilder having it both ways By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Non Contributing Writer Just six weeks after his inauguration as governor, the pundits are already taking L. Douglas Wilder to task for an alleged conservative, hands-off approach supposedly designed to fiuther his national political aspirations. Typical of the species were a recent Washington Post article with a headline proclaiming, “Wilder Proceeding with Caution,” and a column by political commentator Mark Rozell saying “by not using his stature and force of personality to mold events, Wilder begins to look like a hostage to the political environment shaped by others.” Please understand, such observations are made only a few weeks into a four-year term at a time the state has faced its greatest fiscal crisis of modern days and, short of imposing substantial new taxes on an electorate fed up with taxation, there is simply no money to adequately fund many existing programs much less add new programs. To paraphrase Mark Twain, I think the reports of Doug Wilder’s lapse into a political twilight zone are greatly exaggerated. Let’s look, for instance, at the rap sheet. Gov. Wilder, the pundits say, chose not to get involved in the VMI brouhaha as did his predecessor Gerald L. Baliles. He stayed away from the controversy over Fairfax County downzoning. He took no stand on bills designed to restrict smoking in public places. He kept p low profile on parental notification although he previously said he favored it. Unlike Gov. Baliles, he unveiled no ambitious legislative agenda in the opening weeks of his administration. And then the most heinous offense of all in the eyes of some observers. As Governor, Wilder is acting more like a Republican than the moderate-liberal Democrat he was during all those years in the State Senate and as lieutenant-governor. Republicans are actually praising him for taking steps to tighten the states’s $26 billion bien ” Old . f-fe, * ; T j, :m ;l Dominion Politics f<- s«'i “ » nial budget and insisting on a $200 million reserve fund in the event of more rainy days. Yet all this talk of the governor forgetting his origins and his constituency ignores the fact that, throughout his political career, Doug Wilder has marched to his own tune. Those who contrast the early months of the Baliles Administration and its feverish pace with the lowkey Wilder start forget that history may well recall Gov. Baliles more for his legacy of a massive budget crunch caused in party by the overly rosy revenue forecasts of some of his key advisors. While such criticism might ignore the reality of a nationwide economic slowdown, the crisis came about during the Baliles’ watch and was passed along to his successor. Gov. Wilder has never been an easy politician for the pundits to predict. He was counted out early when he successfully ran for lieutenantgovernor; and at the beginning of his I lime to Landscapel Annual Spring Clearance Sale Every spring we dig trees which are crowded and sell them at bargain prices.

Yet through it all Wilder remained supremely cool and confident, keeping his own counsel. Similarly now, while cStching flak for failing to strongarm the General Assembly or promoting a social agenda, he remains unperturbed. When old pals of the Democratic left such as Sen. Joseph Garlan of Fairfax complain about his alleged inaction, Wilder responds “it takes vision to see vision.” In my opinion, Professor Rozell is right when he says that the fiscal mess lets the new governor have it both ways for a while, giving him the ability to please conservatives with his prudent measures and to appease liberals by saying, in effect, he still supports their agenda but the money’s not there now to fund it. One suspects, knowing Wilder’s past modus operandi of concentrating more on the finish of the race than the start, that as time passes he will exert a much more forceful presence. At some point he will push hard for his desire to repeal the sales tax on non-prescription medicines. And he will find ways to address a variety of issues ranging from disparities in educational opportunities, the need for more low-income housing and better health care and shoring up the state’s faltering rural economy. For now, however, he is acting the part of a professional firefighter whose first priority must be putting out the fire before starting to rebuild the house. And in that respect there is a mass of evidence he is gathering the approval of a solid majority-of Virginians even if some impatient pundits or liberals think he should redecorate the living room while the flames are still licking through the roof.

Tune ups ft Repairs Sperryvllle Tike 703/038-8166 Attend Church Sunday Inis week's message brought to you courtesy of: Pastor: Tom Von Fange Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church WHAT CAN WE DO FOR GOD Lent is such and interesting religious season, you meet many well meaning Christians that talk about what they are going to give up for Lent. The question that we must ask ourselves is, are we doing this for Lent? Or for our Savior and Lord. If we are indeed giving something up for the sake of Jesus Christ and because He took our place on the dreaded cross then what we give up during Lent will not resume after Lent. Do you really want to do something for God? Do you really want to give something to Him? If this is your sincere desire and not just the accepted religious attitude during the Lent Season then let’s take a look at the most perfect example ever of someone giving something up! In the Holy Scriptures we find in the book of Romans Chapter 8 verse 32 these remarkable words, "He who did not spare His own son, but gave Him up for us all-how will He not also along with Him, graciously give us all things?" What did God give up during Lent? His own dear perfect son! He watched from heaven while Jesus was crucified in our place, somehow I don’t think God is to impressed with the historical practice of the church to have its members give up bad habits or whatever for a period of 40 days only to anxiously resume after resurrection day. Jesus asked Peter three times the question we musLask ourselves daily, Do You Love Me? If you do, the world will know it, more importantly God will know it. The greatest gift we can give this Lent Season is to love God with all our heart, with all our understanding, and with all our strength. Offer yourself as a Living Gift to God.

The lsyear mortgage is a quick way to build equity and cut interest payments. It is gain ing in popularity, however, it isn't the best loan length for ev eryone regardless of how attractive it looks. Here are some factors to consider: The most important consideration is the higher monthly payments, there’s no free lunch in financing. A shorter term means larger payments to pay off the principal. Although a 30 year loan will cost you more in interest over its lifespan, the monthly payments are spread out over twice the length and are lower. Can you afford the higher monthly payments of the 15-year loan? How long do you expect to own the home you are buying? In general, the fewer years of expected occupancy, the more feasible a 15 year loan. You'll get a lot more cash back at sale time when you pay off the re maining mortgage since you will have paid more into principal each month.

E Henry Wood’s Topeador followed suit, coming well off the pace in an eight-horse field to score yet another Seven Corners timber victory. Topeador did not break first from the starter’s flag to set the pace, as at Casanova. He and three other horses — Dr. Brice, News Special and Sir Fieldmont —ran within a length of each other throughout most of the race, switching the lead on and off. “They (the field) didn’t want me to get ahead today, but the speed was just right for Topeador,” said Wood. Michael Turner on Sir Fieldmont drew up to challenge Topeador at the last, but Turner’s horse hobbled and lost his rider, leaving Topeador free to post his two and a half length victory over Brian Fitzgerald and Dr. Brice. Wood never felt threatened. “I hadn’t asked him to open up yet,” said Wood about the turn towards home. Dr. Joseph Rogers’ Imperial Morn took com mand of the the open timber race with Bay Cockburn in the irons. Cockbum kept his horse back in fifth until the ninth fence, when he moved him up to third, The final time around he came off the hill just right, with a sharp left-hand turn, passing Ronnie Lee, Peter Walsh up, and Cotuit with Brooks Dundee.

Time for Virginia's maple syrup By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Hundreds of years ago, long before the white man came to the American shores, Northeast Indians tapped maple trees by gashing the trunks with their tomahawks. As the sap dripped from the trees, it was collected into birch bark dishes. By continually adding heated rocks to a hollowed-out log, the Indians cooked down the sap into a delicious dark colored syrup. Upon their arrival to the New World, American colonists quickly adapted the art of maple syruping from the Indians. In fact, by using iron drill bits to tap the trees and copper or iron kettles to boil the sap, the white settlers were able to improve upon syrup production. Over time, the colonists began to rely heavily on maple syrup to flavor their foods, particularly when sugar supplies were low. Today these early methods have been refined, but the annual spring collection and production of maple syrup persists as a truly American tradition. In Virginia the annual Maple Syrup Festival is held in Monterey 'A—— in Highland County. The 1990 dates are March 10-11 and March 17-18. Visitors can tour farms to see how sap is collected from the trees and boiled doWn to make pure maple syrup. From maple sap to maple syrup Pure maple syrup is the 100 percent pure sweet syrup derived from the watery, barely sweet sap of the sugar maple tree. The distinctive amber color and maple flavor develop only when the sap is evaporated and boiled down. After seemingly endless months of bone-chilling weather, the Sugar Maple tree, indigenous to Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada, at last buds and is ready to release its watery sweet sap. It is this promise of spring which celebrates the pure maple syrup season. It is at this time of year, between late February and early April, that the sap can be harvested from the maple trees and transformed into pure maple syrup. The sap thaws and begins to flow, when the weather is just right, when warm sunny days begin to follow cool frosty nights. Only mature maples are selected; they must be at least 40 years old, 10 inches in diameter and about 60 feet UNUV tall. ‘Tap holes” are drilled into the tree trunks; sterile metal or plastic spouts are inserted in the holes and then collection buckets are hung below the spouts. Obtaining the syrup is not always easy; in actuality the sap does not flow, it merely drips. It takes approximately 40 gallons of barely sweet watery sap to produce 1 gallon of golden rich maple syrup. The accumulated sap must be collected daily, poured into a large tank, and then hauled to the sugarhouse by horse-drawn sleds and wagons. In more modern facilities, an elaborate system of plastic pipelines replace the collecting buckets and transport the dripping sap from the hole in the tree to the sug U.S. No WHITE 10 Lb 1 Bag POTATOES Ena cub euo cm dun ma E3a Prices in this ad good Monday, March 5 thru Sunday, March 11,1990.

At the sugarhouse, the sap is filtered and boiled down in large shallow pans. The sap should not be held longer than 48 hours and must be boiled down immediately. Otherwise, the flavor of the syrup will be adversely affected. Boiling concentrates the sap into syrup by evaporating off much of the water. It is during this process, that the characteristic maple flavor and color develops. Once the syrup reaches the right density, flavor and color, it is packaged in bottles, jugs and tins. Grades and color According to specific government standards, pure maple syrup is graded on color, clarity and flavor. Grade A: the premium quality grade, has good color and clarity, and characteristic maple flavor that is somewhat more delicate than the darker, stronger flavored Grade B. Within the grade, there are color variations, ranging from Light to Medium to Dark. Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup is preferred by most U.S. consumers. Grade B: the general utility grade, is not sold at retail. Grade B is dark amber in color and has a stronger caramel taste when compared to Grade A. An unopened bottle of maple syrup will keep indefinitely. Store the unopened container in a cool, dry place. Once opened, cover tightly and refrigerate. Consumers should not confuse the popular brands of pancake syrup with pure maple syrup. In fact, most of the popular brands of pancake syrup do not contain pure maple syrup. Most are flavored syrup products containing no maple syrup at all. They are blends of sugars, corn syrups, flavorings, caramel colorings and preservatives. Calorie-wise, one tablespoon of pure maple syrup is only 50 calories with small amounts of calcium and potassium. Enjoy pure maple syrup -*Pure maple syrup is delicious on pancakes, waffles, French toast, biscuits and combread. Or try these ideas: • Stir into hot oat bran, oatmeal or unsweetened dry cereal — bran flakes, corn flakes, or shredded wheat. • Use as a glaze for ham, chicken or pork. • Delicious as a topping for ice cream, pound cake, bread pudding or custard. • Stir into hot or cold apple cider or hot tea. • Drizzle on cooked carrots, sweet potatoes, baked beans or acorn squash. • Blend ice cream, milk, pure maple syrup and cinnamon for a delicious milkshake. • Spoon over grapefruit halves and broil. • Stir into hot coffe and top with whipped cream and cinnamon. • Combine with plain yogurt; stir in nuts, granola or raisins. • Quick Sticky Rolls: Pour 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup into a cake pan; top with chopped nuts and 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls, cut into 8 pieces.

Pullen wants to take this opportunity to express their deepest appreciation to Mr. Roger Roach, Paramedic and member of the Washington Volunteer Rescue Squad for his quick reaction and attendance to our mother on Tuesday, February 20,1990. Early in the morning of this day she was suffering severe chest pains and contacted family members who immediately contacted the Rescue Squad. Mr. Roach answered the call and arrived on the scene within minutes. Upon arrival he immediately diagnosed the problem and administered the survival medical treatment at the scene and during transportation to the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Emergency Room that saved our mother’s life or played a vital role in doing so. Rappahannock County and specifically the Washington Volunteer Rescue Squad has been blessed with the presence of Mr. Roach. Again, we want to publicly tnank Mr. Roach for being available and answering the call on Feb. 20, 1990. We will never forget what you did for this family. Please keep up the good work and may God bless you.

We were really just kind of schooling more than anything. We weren’t expecting to win,” she said. The Rogers wanted to make sure that Imperial Mom didn’t knock against the timber. “He’s a horse that tends to be a little careless with his jumping, though he’s quite brilliant. As a result, sometimes he hits them with his back legs,” she explained. Michele Rouse’s The Printer was not so fortunate in the ladies timber race. After taking the lead at the drop of the flag, The Printer set a fast pace which she was pressed to keep by Crab Apple and Dawn Dugan. It looked a repeat of The Printer’s Casanova win anyway, but the good mare hit the last fence, tearing her leg and unable to spit and fight to the finish. It was Crab Apple’s race by two and a half lengths. Dugan rode a gutsy race, according to spectators. “I didn’t know what to do with that last.fence. I was on the outside of Michele [Rouse], so I hung back. When we jumped the last fence, I just scooted to the inside of her and going down that comer, I really asked him to run. I was glad he made a move fast enough so he didn’t get smooched in the rail,” said Dugan. It was Dugan’s first ladies’ timber victory, with a time for two and a half miles at 4:47.3. The open timber race time was 4:55.2. In the first division of the maiden hurdle race, Peter Walsh unleashed the Payne-trained Miss Muskoka down the stretch, flying by Tell it Twice with Graham Alcock and front-runner Forty Dancers with Bay Cockbum. Tell It Twice came on strong to pass Forty Dancers down the stretch, but Miss Muskoka proved a length faster at the wire. Don Yovanovich on last week’s hurdle winner Paragrefo posed no threat since the rider missed a beacon coming off the hill. The Middleburg trainer made up for it with Mrs. Vere Nicoll’s former flat runner Parsonofthehills in the second division. Raise Capital set the pace throughout most of the race, with Yovanovich making his move about a quarter of a mile from home. Bay Cockbum rallied the Rogers’ Golden Reveille down the stretch, passing Raise Capital, but it was Parsonofthehills’ victory by two lengths at the wire. “He had a good sprint away from the last,” said Yovanovich. According to Yovanovich, Walsh had his hands full with Raise Capital. “He was jumping to the left the whole time. I couldn’t get around him,” he said. “We were getting pushed left, pushed left. We got bumped real good the next to last and taken across the whole fence at the last.” It was the horse’s first start over hurdles. Foxhunters reaffirmed spectators’ belief in God when they galloped over timber in the seventh race. Right off the bat novice racerider Mary Gary’s Ginnaven jumped a wing, catapulting Gary up and over. Then the field sort of settled with Hikaru Genji, Jasmine Wagner up, setting the pace until they ca show that person*' ..'/V . . . . .

Contact vour tax advisor reened down Rappahannock’s infamous hill, where George with Tim Wyatt took over the lead. “Watch out. You don’t know where these horses are going,” cried a spectator as the seven-horse field galloped to the next fence. Eben Sutton kept his Dot Smithwick-trained Uncle Reg off the pace in third until an eighth of a mile from home, when he rallied his horse down the stretch, passing George to post a seven length victory at the wire. Spice with Dell Ennis was third and Miss Moncacy, Marlin LeGore up, fourth. Sutton commutes from South Carolina to hunt with Middleburg and race in the foxhunters’ timber. It was his first win, and he got drenched. On the five-eights of a mile flat race, Michael Harris’ Inaugurated snatched the lead from Lamont Cranston, Yves Henry up, after a quarter of a mile, lengthening it to an eight length advantage at the wire. “I’ve learned more from David [Bourke] than anyone,” said Harris, who works and lives in Charlottesville. Bourke rode second-place finisher Medal Play in the first division of the turf race, won by the Michael Pearson-trained Bourque with Greg Ryan. As Bourke tried to pull him up, Medal Play stepped in a hole and somersaulted down a hill, pitching Bourke over his head. Bourke smashed his hand which ballooned out to the size of a grapefruit. In spite of his pain, Bourke rode last year’s Young Rodney over timber in the next race, placing fifth. A hotly contested field of two mules — a third refused to start — kept spectators entertained. Though Bert, Barry Edwards up, crossed the finish line first, Redbud’s rider, Scott Edwards, snatched the cash and made a run for it at the last minute. Juniors opened the day at noon with two divisions of pony races. In the first, a sea of grays galloped with their child owners. Wild Illusion with Casey Hinsdale took the lead but proved too slow for Charlie Conaway on Heavenly Specter, who ran within striking distance of this frontrunner and achieved a half-length victory at the wire against Meleksha David on Phantom of the Opera. Helen Whitney on Peek-a-Boo was third. Charlie Conaway is from Westminster, Md. His father, Charlie Conaway, Jr., rode Sporting Finish to fourth place on the flat. Casey Hinsdale of Linden made up for her initial loss by winning the second large pony division with Somerset in a hotly contested field of five ponies. Casey is a member of the Post & Rail 4-H Club. In the last race of the day, hound dogs showed their hunting prowess. T.E. Olinger’s Wrangler proved the fastest and was judged the best, with Kelly Corbin’s Slick second.

Budget Continued from page 1 tra duty by five percent, and begins phasing in a salary scale for bus drivers. In arriving at a salary scale for teachers Dr. Gangel first applied an increase of six percent to the base so that it goes from $19,080 this year to $20,225. This year beginning teachers are being paid five percent above the base or $20,034, teachers with one year of experience receive six percent above the base; those with two years of experience receive seven percent above the base, and those with three years of experience are paid seven percent above the base. Those with four years experience have been getting nine percent above the base, and further years of experience have regular increases of three percent or more above the base through their fourteenth year. Teachers with 15 through 19 years of experience receive 49 percent above the base. Those with 20 through 24 receive 54 percent above the base, and those with 25 or more years of experience receive 60 percent above the base, or $30,529. For next year, the proposed schedule would pay beginning teachers, as well as those with one, two, or three years of experience nine percent above the new base. At the other end of the scale teachers with 15 or 16 years of experience would receive 49 percent above the base; those with 17 or 18 years of experience would receive 52 percent above the base; those with 19 or 20 years experience would be paid 54 percent above the base; those with 21 or 22 years experience would receive 56 percent above the base; those with 23 or 24 years of experience would get 58 percent above the base, and those with 25 or more years of experience would continue to be paid 60 percent more than the new base. This would result in a salary schedule that ranged from $22,045 to $32,360. In addition to the salary increases Dr. Gangel is asking for an increase of 10 percent in the amount the school system contributes to employees’ health insurance. The new budget also calls for $15,000 to move the underground fuel oil storage tank at the elementary school and place it, or a replacement, above ground. Another $5,000 is included for developing a parking area behind the bus garage, since the four-laning of U.S. 211 will take the area now used for parking buses. In addition Dr. Gangel is recommending that the county allocate $100,000 to purchase land for a middle school although that money is not included in the budget. “The school division has many needs that cannot be addressed this fiscal year because of funding,” Dr. Gangel said. Left out of the budget were monies to renovate the earth science lab at the high school, additional employees for maintenance and custodial work, and a primary science teacher. Funds for maintenance, equipment, and educational supplies were held to essentially the same level as this year. In some areas the budget for next year is lower than this year. Textbook subsidies were eliminated. This will mean a significant increase in textbook rental fees charged students at the beginning of the year, Dr. Gangel said. aiso or. Lrangei is oniy asiung for one replacement bus for the coming year, but it will be more expensive because it will be a full-sized bus with a wheel chair lift. One bus driver’s salary has been cut from the budget. No driver will be cut; the position will be cut by attrition, but one bus run will be combined with the handicapped bus run. In addition to the problems in putting together the budget caused by less money, Dr. Gangel and his staff struggled with the new budget format required for this budget. “This is a regulatory agency’s dream, but an administrator’s nightmare,” he said. In addition to needing an 18-digit code for each line item, the new budget calls for many more line items. For example the are separate line items for social security for each class of employee: regular elementary school teachers, regular high school teachers, special education elementary school teachers, special education high school teachers, Chapter One teachers at the elementary school, vocational teachers at the high school, and teachers of the gifted at both schools. There are also separate lines for social security payments for guidance personnel at both schools and for library personnel at both schools. Teachers’ aides, regular and special education at each school, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers and various classes of administrators also have separate lines for their social security payments. All of this was one line item under fixed charges in the old budget. Before hearing the superintendent present his budget, the school board first heard from a delegation of parents from the Amissville area who complained about their children’s bus driver. After the board members heard parents complain that the driver was inconsistent in when the bus arrived to pick up chil dren, operated the bus unsafely, was inconsistent in enforcing a rule about not eating on the bus, told the children to “shut up,” and was reporting many more children than usual for misbehaving on the bus, the board went into executive session to discuss personnel. Following that session the board voted to accept Dr. Gangers recommendation that the driver and another driver switch routes and that all discipline matters so far this year be wiped off the books, but that any new infractions be treated consistently with students removed from the bus after the second time they were referred for disciplinary infractions. Study Continued from page 1 port were a lack of enough planning time, the need for more timely evaluation of the staff, and a need for more evaluation of parts of the curriculum. Although they noted that housekeeping had improved they were still concerned, particularly with the cleanliness of the students’ bathrooms. The study also notes that the school needs a school nurse and more space. The Self Study noted that the school has a capacity for 661 students and an enrollment of 580. “Our school plant was designed to accomodate more students than are enrolled,” the study says. “It was not designed to provide the number of individual teaching, service, and office areas which are required to implement current curricula programs. “Many changes have taken place in the educational program . . . which have resulted in a tremendous demand for additional space and have, in effect, reduced the functional capacity of the building.” The addition of kindergarten classes, special education classes and remedial education classes are among the programs the study cites which have created the need for more space. Some areas that were intended for storage have been converted for office or instructional space, creating a need for more storage space. Some classrooms have been divided, making classrooms, particularly for special education, which the teachers find too small. The visiting committee will use the school’s Self Study and the members own observations to prepare its report on the strengths and weaknesses at the elementary school. SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980. Excellent References Land use Continued from page 1 land use taxation would be if the owner deeded a scenic easem<%; on the land to the local governing body or to an agency of the state or federal government. “Eased land always meets conditions of the open space class,” he said. Easements are generally “in perpetuity,” he explained. “Most people think that is forever,” he said. “It is at least 33 years.” A third way a landowner could qualify for land use taxation would be to enter into a contract with the supervisors similar to the agreement owners in an Ag District make. This would be for owners with less than 200 acres of land who do not live close enough to other owners interested in forming an Ag District to include their land in existing or new Ag Districts, Dr. Marshall explained. The use values are ultimately the responsibility of the Commissioner of Revenue, he said, but various state agencies have recommended amounts. The values for agricultural land are determined by the Department of Agriculture, those for forest land by the Department of Forestry, and those for open space by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham commented, “A lot of land in this county is owned by investors. I cannot see the people in this county subsidizing the net worth of large property owners. I want to keep the land open, but how do we do that on an equitable basis?” “With the present land use taxation it is possible for a developer to come in and buy a lot of land, rent it to a farmer, and sell it when he’s ready,” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said. “If with open space we also went to 10 years, that should separate the farmer from the developer.” Earlier the supervisors approved the new six-year secondary road plan.

Also he said work on Route 624 had been added to the plan and scheduled for 1993-1994. The supervisors also passed a resolution asking Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke to draft an ordinance to enforce motor vehicle ordinances on several private roads in Blue Ridge Mountain Estates. Arthur Town spoke in favor of this enforcement. “We have a lot of people get up there and drive around especially with four-wheel drives,” he said. Donna Schwertfeger, the president of the homeowners association said, “We have a lot of unnecessary noise and destruction on those privately maintained roads. In many cases I’m the law and order up there. We should give the taxpaying residents up there the luxury of some law and order.” Henry Campbell wondered who would pay for the increased law enforcement. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey assured him there Election Continued from page 1 Susan Parrish and Arthur Neufeld are all seeking their first elected post in the town government. Janice Moffett and Charles Eldred round out the field of candidates for the town council. Mrs. Moffett had sought an appointment to the council last year when Mr. Lynch was named to the vacancy. Mr. Eldred is a member of the town’s moribund Board of Zoning Appeals. All the declared candidates must file a second form certifying their qualifications for candidacy with the State Board of Elections in Richmond by 5 p.m. Friday, March 9.

The supervisors also heard a report from School Superintendent David Gangel about decreased state aid for schools in the upcoming school budget. He said that he would not be certain about amounts until the General Assembly adjourned, but “the budget picture is not optimistic, because of a drop in enroll-' ment and it is a tight budget year.” County Administrator John McCarthy also reported on the General Assembly action on bills the supervisors had voted to oppose. Delegate Clinton Miller’s (R-Shenandoah) bill which requires that 19.5 foot wide skirted mobile homes must be allowed in Agricultural zoning districts passed “despite violent opposition from rural counties. The urban legislators pushed this down our throats.” Two “vesting” bills, which define when certain rights accrue to subdivided property, also passed, he said. In other action, the supervisors: • voted to contract with Land and Community Associates of Charlottesville to do the planning studies on affordable housing and developing the general commercial district. • voted to meet at 6 p.m. March 21 to award the contract for the jail expansion. • approved the application of the Chester Gap Fire Department to hold a raffle of one firearm a week for 52 weeks. • approved a schedule of meetings and work sessions for adopting the school and overall county budgets. • approved J. Clifford Miller’s application for a special exception to cut off a two-acre parcel from his farm near Sperryville. The land is zoned rural residential, which normally requires five-acre lots. Their approval requires that a deed be recorded on the residue stating that its future subdivision potential has been impacted by this subdivision. 44 return for hoops r orty-four former Panthers will return this weekend to prowl the new gymnasium in the Alumni Basketball, Tournament, scheduled for March 9 and 10.
