However, it's still not too late to return the form and avoid a personal visit by the enumerator, which is a much more expensive method of collecting the data. Census officials remind residents that all information is strictly confidential, and that each uncounted resident is estimated to cost the county $400 in federal revenue. For a family of four, that is $1,600 for each year of the 10 years the Census information is used — ora total of $16,000. Congressman’s aide visits Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. will send his district representative, Jane Clatterbuck, to Rappahannock County on Wednesday, April 11.

Cable TV franchise will be negotiated Service could begin within 18 months By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county’s Board of Supervisors moved a step closer to making cable television available to 1,140 of the approximately 2,700 homes in the county Monday when it agreed to have County Administrator John McCarthy and County Attorney Peter Luke negotiate with Adelphia Cable Communications Company for a franchise. Adelphia was the only company to submit a proposal when the county advertised for proposals last month. Adelphia spokesman Richard Burke said the company estimated that cable TV could be provided within 18 to 24 months after a franchise is granted, perhaps sooner in the Chester Gap area. Originally the company proposed to provide service within 12 months, but the time frame was lengthened because the company will use power company poles to carry the cable lines, and Potomac Edison is in the process of replacing the poles between Sperryville and Front Royal, Mr. Burke said. The proposal submitted lists a basic charge of $17.95 per month. That would allow reception of 30 channels, but Mr. Burke said that will probably be increased to 31 or 32 by the time the service is available. Included in this See CABLE, p. 16 Agriculture remains dominant county industry By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer With further consideration of the Fox Creek Country Club and golf course delayed for a month at the applicant’s request, the Planning Commission took up the issues of preserving agriculture and Planned Unit Residential Developments. — .Peter,White, chairmariof the comjnissiaa’s -AericuK, tural Advisory Committee presented an interim report. Mr. White said the 16-member committee had met monthly since last August and reached some preliminary conclusions, including: • that farming remains a major component of the county’s economy, that agriculture generates between $5.5 and $6 million of a $16 to $20 million economy, and that it contributes indirectly to the tourist and real estate industries. • that Rappahannock agriculture is in transition, that the traditional crops of apples grown for the wholesale market and cattle are experiencing dificulty, while new crops of grapes, hay and fruits and vegetables grown for the retail market have strong future prospects. ....JUbaLmp$t Rappahannock farmers want to remain in farming and are making sacrifices to do so. • that poorly controlled urbanization of the countryside constitutes the most immediate threat to the county’s agriculture. • and that farmers are concerned about a growing sentiment to cut back or abolish land use taxation. Mr. White said he committee wants to do much more extensive research, beginning with a survey of county farmers. He presented an outline of a 117 to 148 page document to be the committee’s final report to the Planning Commission. The agricultural advisory committee has approached the American Farmland Trust headquartered in Washington, D. C. and Virginia Tech’s Rural Economic Analysis Program for help in conducting the study and writing the final report, Mr. White said. The AFT is willing to undertake the project, he told the planners, and take the lead in approaching foundations for funds to pay for the project with the county expected to provide some financial support. AFT would also See AGRICULTURE, p. 16 Team formed to investigate child abuse reports By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer One of every three women is a victim. At least one of every seven men was abuSed — the actual numbers may be higher, experts feel — because men are less likely to report the crime, either at the time or later, than women. In the past few years, the extent of child abuse has become apparent to a shocked nation. It is found in all social classes, races and places. In the past two years, Rappahannock County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney, Peter Luke, has prosecuted more than a half-dozen cases of child sexual abuse alone. And those cases represent only a small part of the problem, because they are the ones in which felony sex charges were filed, bringing them into the county’s Circuit Court. Most cases of mental, emotional or physical abuse are handled in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, where the proceedings are closed to the public and the records are confidential. However, Mr. Luke acknowledges that the problem of child abuse in the county is significant. “It is a lot more i widespread that people want to admit.” That view is shared by Beverly Bowen,' i the director of the county’s Department of ; SocialServices. 1 Their concerns have led to the formation of a new interdisciplinary team to landle investigations of alleged child ibuse. It involves Mr. Luke, Mrs. Bowen pr another Social Services representative, he county Sheriffs Department or Virginia State Police investigators, as well as psychologists and physicians if needed. The team is being shared with Culpeper County to assure that the greatest imount of expertise is available when leeded, Mrs. Bowen explained. In the past few years, the nation has mdergone an epidemic of reports of child ibuse, ranging from the dozens, perhaps mndreds, of children allegedly abused at the McMartin Preschool in California to the case of Hilary Morgan, whose mother, Dr. Elizabeth Morgan, alleged during a divorce case that her former husband and his parents had abused Hilary. Neither of those cases has come to a definite conclusion. The McMartin defendants were acquitted, and Dr. Morgan was released after spending nearly two years in jail for contempt of court after Hilary was found. The abuse question remains unresolved. But despite the fact that angry and vindictive parents have been known to use See ABUSE, p. 5 Inn's advisors will canvass for concerns By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Patrick O’Connell, representing The Inn at Little Washington, proposed that a group of town and county residents be formed to consult with the Inn about its expansion plans, some were skeptical of his intent, or whether the group would ever be formed. Last Thursday night, the group met at the county library to formulate its plans and listen to a presentation by Mr. O’Connell and his partner, Reinhardt Lynch. The group represents a broad cross-section of the town and surrounding county, with both supporters and opponents of the Inn’s plans represented. Chaired by former town resident and Architectural Review Board member Jim Thomasson; it also includes his wife Nan, a former member of the Town Council; Joyce Kramer, a former planning commissioner; Dr. Werner Krebser, a member of the county planning commission; Gene Leggett; Carol Miller, a former member of the town’s Architectural Review Board; the Rev. Jennings Hobson III, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church; Betty Buntin; Laurie Marshall; and Diane Bruce. Mr. Thomasson explained that he had received several inquires from others interested in serving, but that since a decision was made from the beginning not to include anyone presently serving in town government or a candidate in the town election, those offers were politely declined. “We have See COMMITTEE, p. 13 Free well water tests offered Rappahannock and Page counties have been selected as the sites for the 1990 Household Water Quality Education.- Program in Virginia according to Tommy Williams the county’s extension agent for agriculture. “The two counties have received a $10,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Extension, Water Quality Initiative project,” he said,” to conduct this program.” The purpose of this project is to help homeowners understand the causes of water quality problems that they may have and how to treat them. Many water quality problems are naturally occurring, and do not pose a health threat. ' Often, contaminants in aquifers result in staining, corrosion, as well as other unsatisfactory household water conditions. In many cases, by knowing the extent of a certain contaminant in a water supply, simple Williams named county Extension Service director Thomas V. Williams Jr. has been appointed director of the Rappahannock County office of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. The appointment was announced last week by Dr. John S. Huddleston, district director of the Extension Service. Mr. Williams has served in the capacity of acting county director since June, 1989 when the former director, Home Extension Agent Sandra Richardson, transferred to the Virginia Beach office. Mr. Williams has been the county’s agricultural extension agent since August, 1988, succeeding Birgitt Thornhill. In his new duties as county director, Dr. Huddleston said, Mr. Williams assumes the administrative duties of managing the local Extension office as well as his responsibilities for agriculture and 4-H programs. In a congratulatory letter from County Administrator John McCarthy, he noted that “Williams’ dedication to his position has been remarked upon by many people, and See WILLIAMS, p.12 treatment recommendations can be made to correct such problems.” “If you use a private water supply in Rappahannock County, you have the opportunity to participate in the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service water quality program that will provide answers to some of the above concerns,” said Helen Smith, the county’s Extension Home Economist. “The program will allow See TESTING, p. 13

Variance granted for Blue Ridge Estates lot By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County’s Board of Zoning Appeals voted to grant a variance from side setback requirements to allow Mr. and Mrs. Paul Foster Jr. to build a house on their property in the Blue Ridge Estates subdivision on Chester Gap. The Fosters’ lot is 60 wide by approximately 300 feet deep, and they want to build a house that is 24 feet toide. The zoning ordinance requires 20 feet of setback on each side. Without a variance the house couldn’t be wider than 20 feet to allow 20 feet on both sides of a 60-foot wide lot. Mr. Foster said he had written Several times to the owner of the adjbining lot, who lives in Maryland, to j(sk if they could purchase her lot but has never received a reply. He said they have owned their lot since 1985, and are living in a house that is about to be sold. County Administrator John McCarthy pointed out that in 1985, when the Foster lot was purchased, the setback requirement was ten feet on each side. Many of the lots in Blue Ridge Mountain Estates, where the Fos ters want to build, are 60 by 120 feet and are not large enough to allow a house and septic system with drainfield, plus a well, which requires certain clearances from any nearby septic field by state Health Department regulations. In other similar situations lot owners have purchased two such lots to enable them to have enough land for a house site, but the Fosters’ lot is deep enough to allow room for the well and septic system, so only the side lot requirement prevented them from building on the lot. Hampton District representative Lee Bird pointed out that the law allows the BZA to grant a variance for a non-conforming lot, if the adjoining properties are in separate ownership, and if the lots were recorded prior to the adoption of the county’s first zoning ordinance in 1973.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Viewtown Post Office is having a birthday. The tiny office, always located in Viewtown Store on Route 643 in Viewtown, is 100 years old. According to the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Viewtown Post Office was established on April 3, 1890 by request of Olive Postmaster Charles Hawkins. The Olive Post Office, now defunt, was located on Route 626 near Culpeper. One hundred years later, Viewtown’s office is still located in the same building, serving many of the same families. Though little change has come to the post office over the years, the first change came with the name, 100 years ago. Viewtown Post Office was nearly called Forest Hill. The document requesting post office operation shows Forest Hill — later changed to Viewtown in order to fill the requirement of one word post office names. The position of Postmaster was first served by William Spellman. Mr. Spellman’s duties were to provide mail to 100 families, a population of 500. And after 100 years of service to those families — grown only to 125 in a century — the post office has been operated by only three families. William Spellman was the first postmaster, followed by his son, Henry and later, Moffet, who managed the business until 1918 when it passed — the store, property, and house — toJ.J. Barron. Until 1885, the Barron family ran the store, the post office and lived in the house to right of the store. Upon postmaster Margaret Barron’s retirement in 1985, The Viewtown Post Office became a separate business from the mercantile business located in the same building. In past days, post office and store were operated by one clerk. When the mail was delivered from Culpeper, the store would close and mail would be sorted to the designated addresses. Time changes even the mail. Today, the United States Postal Service rents the space for the Viewtown Post Office from the Viewtown Store’s owners, Chris and Verna Schmitt. Post office and store are separate businesses. In 1985, Amissville’s Mary Priest was named postmaster to the new business, bringing a new name, a new generation and a new beginning to the office. The tiny post office, presently snuggled into the left-hand comer of the store, behind the door, has never left the store though it has moved in the last 100 years. Viewtown Post Office or store patrons of 25 to 30 years past may remember the day when the post office sat high on a platform in the rear of the store, extending from one side to the other with steps on either end. Previous store owner and Postmaster Margaret Barron remembers those days — and days before when patrons came on horseback and mail was brought only half-way from Cul Photo courtesy Mary Priest VIEWTOWN POSTMASTER MARY PRIEST is observing the centennial of her Viewtown Post Office this week. peper, delivered via a carrier who made contact with the Viewtown Post Office clerk, Jim Mills. Nearly 30 years ago, Mrs. Barron and her husband, Theodore, relocated the post office to the front of the store using materials from the old post office for installation of the new, though the mail slots and darkened pine woodwork surrounding the first post office were not removed until 1988 renovations completed by the store’s present owners. “The old post office sat on a platform,” Mrs. Barron remembered, adding after those early renovations, the platform was kept and the area was used as office space for store and post office bookkeeping by she and her late husband. “We wanted to keep the store as original as possible,” Mrs. Barron recalled. “It was a stopping point, then,” Barron said with fond memories of her home and business. Sitting high atop the hill, the store remains a stopping place for travelers, locals and business people, who look for its familiar face which has changed little since the early 1900’s when a fire razed it, forcing The Spellmans to completely rebuild the post office and store over the old foundation, visible just inches from the original front steps. But the store has changed. Today it has new owners, Chris and-, Verna Schmitt from southern Maryland, a new look and many newJJ items. The Schmitts spent several months completing renovations to the old store, adding many modern conveniences including a heating system, neon-bright soda coolers, a new floor, a few layers of interior paint and a new front door. Today, as it has for years, Viewtown Store is ready for business. Located miles from any business district of size, Viewtown store and post office, through necessity, has provided and still provides mercantile items of a varied quality.

Spending 51 years of her life in Viewtown, living above the store and later next door in the house to the right, serving 41 and one half years as postmaster in the post office, acting as clerk, and after the death of her husband, owner of the store, Mrs. Barron became well versed on what was a necessity to her customers. She remembers sugar and flour in huge-100 pound wooden bins, hand-dipped for each customer, loose beans and ground coffee in the same form, hooked banana bunches hanging from livestock feed in large burlap sacks and bins of fresh vegetables and fish. Modem transportation, convenience foods, health regulations and consumer demand put a stop to many of the items though serving the community’s needs keeps Viewtown Store operating. “People did not have the transportation,” of the 1990’s and “country stores had to carry a variety of things,” Mrs. Barron said, adding the old Viewtown Store also carried livery goods and casket hinges. Needs have changed but Viewtown Store still carries a variety of daily necessities — many that have not changed in decades, like livestock feed, food stuffs, gasoline, snack foods and household supplies. Boasting the “busiest place in Viewtown,” Jodi Worley, present store manager and Verna Schmitt’s mother, said the store remains a stopping point for locals looking for a cold drink or quick snack but regular customers have made livestock feed, fertilizers, and perishable items moveable stock. “We were sorta’ worried that local customers would not like the changes,” Mrs. Worley said, referring to the new doors, the new paint, new stock, modem equipment and facilities, “but the store has not been this busy in years.” Blending with the “country appeal and atmosphere” are a wide assortment of items. Customers can find precisely arranged on old wooden shelves t-shirts in a variety of colors or baseball hats, seasonal items like Christmas lights, handmade quilts or baskets, hot dogs or barrels of candy, food stuffs and cleaning supplies. And video tapes. “Chris saw a market for video rentals out here, Mrs. Worley said, adding videos were well received by the customers, wanting not only items of necessity but also, those of leisure. Though Chris — with a background in auto mechanics — and Verna — with several years experience with C&P Telephone Company — are new to the mercantile business, Jodi’s experience with 7-11 Stores helps them to manage the new operation. “We really like the community,” Ms. Worley said, between checking prices for customers and talking with salesmen, waiting with pen and order form. “They really help you when they can; they work right along side you,” she concluded; adding the couple bought the first store available, wanting to get away from the hectic city life and anxious to start their own business. “So far, it’s been nothing but fun,” Mrs. Worley said, laughing and adding with renovations and grand opening complete, things are beginning to fall into place. “People here in Viewtown are pleased with us,” she said with pride, adding their support keeps things running smoothly.

Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated in recognition that education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business and clean industry for economic expansion should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities here for our residents and their children, under conditions which ensure that these businesses are self-supporting, not a burden on the tax base. Tourism and the businesses that support it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent community, will be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strong timber and fierce spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and independently investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. ™.. mjm' mmmm Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahaq t WITH THE RECENT RAINS, spring wildflowers have burst into bloom. Letters to the editor Good work, fair price To the editor: Most of us have services performed for us now and then. If you’re like me, time, distance and other priorities cause us to often accept mediocrity; especially when the repair is in the nature of “crafting with the hands.” I have an old chair with a tom cane seat that I’ve been going to recane for almost six years. It is a chair that has lots of sentiment and nostalgia. But the repair was never gotten around to. I was made aware of the F.O.R.E. workshop in Remington on U.S. 29 in Fauquier County. Someone told me they did good work caning and rushing plus other types of contract work for a reasonable price. This workshop employs some 30 plus individuals, five from Rappahannock County, who have a variety of problems in speech, seeing, hearing, MR and motor co-ordination. They work a little slower than some “normal” people but by some comparisons they are faster in certain aspects of “craft by hand.” I got my chair back yesterday for what was an extraordinarily low price. The work was excellent. They even polished the wood. With few exceptions, it a rarity these days to find a truly good deal. But this recaned chair to me represents a “good deal” because of the quality of the work. I paid their price and they wouldn’t take a penny more, but said they would like more work. Since they don’t have an advertising budget I’m hoping this letter might reach some of our neighbors thru the Rappahannock News who might need chairs re-caned or rushing. The telephone number of the workshop in Remington is (703) 439-3505. SCOTT CAMPBELL Sperryville Redistricting promises heated debate By JUHJN UOOLKICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Thirty five of the 140 members of the Virginia General Assembly will find their popularity with colleagues and others soaring in the next year. They’re the members of the Privileges and Elections Committees in the House of Delegates and State Senate. The P&E members, who deal mainly with election law changes, will have the task of coming up with proposed redistricting plans for the House, the Senate and state congressional districts, which will be considered by the General Assembly during a special session in April, 1991. Already overtures are being made to more senior committee members by political interests who want to curry their favor when election boundaries are redrawn to reflect a rapidly growing and increasingly suburban population. Redistricting occurs once every ten years following the national census. Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that election districts should reflect, with only a small allowable variance, one-man, one-vote principles, the process has gotten infinitely more difficult and controversial. In fact, the last two times Virginia went through redistricting, in 1971 and 1981, some of the results were overturned by courts and new starts had to be made. And many think it is almost inevitable that no matter how the boundaries are finally drawn next year, Old Dominion Politics somebody is going to once again challenge them in court. The process is an inherently political one that strikes fear in the hearts of incumbents who don’t have the seniority or connections to protect themselves. Because the legislature is controlled by Democrats and a Democratic governor is in office, Republican incumbents are feeling particularly vulnerable. Let’s take legislator X, for example, a member of the House of Delegates who’s been around just a few years but has worked assidously to build up a solid base of support in his or her district. Then let’s presume someone who wants to run against legislator X gets the ear of the right people on the P&E committee. By poring over election returns, it can be seen that legislator X runs strongest in the Fishbone Precinct, the Tumipseed Precinct and the Wildflower Precinct. Take away those three precincts, stick them in another district and legislator X may soon be legislator ex. Another ploy, and one Democrats will undoubtedly use, is to put two Republican incumbents in the same aisinct. mere are innumerable ways to strengthen the chances of re-election of favored incumbents and to weaken or demolish the chances of those who aren’t favored. A few strokes of the pen can turn a budding political career into political oblivion. There will probably be only two or three of the state’s 10 incumbent members of Congress challenged this year. One reason, of course, is the power of an incumbent to use the perks of the office to build formidable support. But another prime reason is that some who want to run for congressional seats eventually prefer to wait until 1992 when new congressional lines will be in place. Why try to do all that work and raise all that money this year when the present district may look considerably different the next time around, particularly since Virginia will add an extra district because of its population boom? Carefully monitoring the redistricting process in the state will not only be incumbents, would-be challengers and representatives of the two mjyor parties, but such interest groups as the NAACP, ACLU, Common Cause and others. Each will have their separate agendas and each, once census figures are known, will start to drawn their own suggested political maps of the Commonwealth. While to the public at large redistricting may seem an arcance process, hardly in a league with legislative battles over abortion or public smoking or taxes, the outcome will help shape Virginia’s political realities until after the turn of a new century. Ten years ago Fauquier County, in for reasons of expediency, was divided up to become part of three House of Delegates districts. That wasn’t done to punish the county for any transgressions, but simply to help accomodate the one-man, onevote edict. Some argued that Fauquier was being done a favor since it would have three House members looking out for its interests. But irate Fauquier citizens complained, and continue to do so, that in all three cases they were but a small part of the three separate districts and something of a stepchild in each. They would have vastly preferred a single representative who could be held much more accountable to county officials and voters. Similar cries of outrage will probably be heard once the redistricting dust settles the next time aro»nd. Meanwhile, those 35 increasingly popular P&E members, faced with a demanding task, will find themselves the targets of countless invitations to sit down with colleagues and others to talk about who should get the gold mines and who should get the shafts. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter. Opinions expressed are his own. Taxonomically speaking, ground hogs not 'vermin' i u trie editor: Gerald Hawkins’ recent op-ed article about ground hogs (March 22) was, as usual, amusing and informative. It may be, however, that my daughter knew about the kitty litter trick long before Mr. Hawkins did. She has been saving kitty litter for some time — right there in the kitty litter box. Works, too; there are no ground hogs in her room. Did you know that there is a ground hog in South Africa? It’s the aardvark (from dutch: aardt = earth and vark = pig). And did you know that the other common name for a. ground hog, woodchuck, is derived from its American Indian name, which has nothing to do with wood or chucking? It turns out that the only sensible answer to the old question, “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” is that it’s a silly question. It was not, by the way, pure cussedness that caused Mr. Hawkins’ ground hogs to attack the clay cement in the foundation of his house. They were merely doing their own dental work, necessary because otherwise their teeth would continue to grow, eventually making it impossible for them to eat. I should also note that when Mr. Hawkins calls ground hogs “vermin” he is speaking, not as a scientist, but as an enemy of ground hogs. The word vermin does not appear in' I their scientific classification, which is animalia, chordata, mammalia', rodentia, sciuridae, marmota, monax. Clearly however, when Mr. Hawkins beholds ground hogs on his property, he sees vermin. He wants them to go away and build their five foot deep, 30-foot long burrows someplace else. But where? Mr. Hawkins does not say. Does Mr. Hawkins wonder why, when his haveaheart traps, or his ammonia and bleach bottles didn’t work, his neighbor suggested smoke bombs? Did the neighbor perhaps know that on the few occasions when smoke bombs work, the ground hog is removed not just outside its 40 to 160-acre home range but to another world altogether? Your regular readers doubtless know that Mr. Hawkins is quite wrong when he says that ground hogs can be hunted every day of the year. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, ground hogs are entitled to a day of peace, though not necessarily rest, on Sundays. Ground hog meat is, according to one authority, good to eat. (Whether it should be smoked or not is not clear.) I don’t know, however, whether it is legal to eat ground hog on Sunday. No problem for me, though. I am going to find a way to send my ground hogs over to Mr. Hawkins. W.

SCRABBLE — When Marie and I bought the Corbin place 24 years ago this month, the old gentleman who owned it wept tears of parting. Now I know how he felt. My first Scrabble datefine was in November of 1966. This is my last. ! Many readers were skeptical about that dateline. They figured Scrabble was something I had grade up, like Camelot or Yoknapatawpha (pounty. A lawyer for the popular word game wrote me a hoity-toity letter; he was going to sue yf I didn’t knock it off. I wrote back that Scrabble Had been on the map for a hundred years before finyone thought of landing an “X” on a tripleWord. That shut him up. * So Scrabble is real. The community is located about 13 miles west of Culpeper, nine miles east of Sperryville, 64 miles and a few light-years east of the Washington Beltway. Scrabble had its own post office until Jim Farley economized it out of existence in 1937. The little building still stands, just across the road from the Mount Lebanon Baptist Church (founded 1833). Mosby’s Raiders, gray as ghosts, once cantered along the winding road that goes from Scrabble to Laurel Mills. From almost any point along the road, you get a great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We were talking the other evening about the best of all seasons, it was like Lancelot singing to Guinevere. You remember. He couldn’t bear to leave her in springtime, nor in summer, winter or fall. Maybe spring is best. This year spring came bounding in like a Labrador puppy. We had a week of temperatures in the 80s. Then an inch of rain fell, and overnight—just in'time for St. Pat Perspective rick’s Day — the fields were Kelly green. A teasing breeze swirled the skirts of the willows. The peepers, tiny tree frogs, launched into their evening serenades. Suddenly we had flowers — narcissus, daffodils, tiny anemones in the rock garden — and the birds of spring returned. A pair of phoebes, yelling their heads off, came back to nest again outside the office. Summers also have been wonderful here. We look back to the summer that granddaughter Heather was four, running about the backyard at dusk in search of fireflies. She would capture them in a Mason jar and release them when it got dark so they could go home to their mothers. On August nights we would sit outside under the chestnut oak, watching for shooting stars. My own vote probably would go to autumn. The Blue Ridge is blessed not only by dark masses of pines, but also by hardwoods in abundance. The dogwood and gum trees turn first, mottled as an old man’s hand; then the maples go to scarlet and the poplars change to gold. Walking a country road in October is like walking through an old cathedral, with shafts of sunlight pouring through stained glass and ruined choirs. The air has the tang of hard cider. It smells of open fires. There is even something to be said for winter in the mountains. We don’t get a great deal of snow, but when it comes it transforms the countryside. The snow stays clean, unsmudged by city soot, and it piles up in scallops of whipped cream. The mountains sleep, old men with white hair, and nothing much moves but the deer and the somnolent cattle. On clear nights, through the bare and bony trees, you can see a billion stars. Maybe two billion. Only a passing plane, bound for Dulles International, provides a reminder of the world outside. We have been like Lancelot: We never could leave it at all. So we believed when we shook hands with Mr. Corbin. At 45 the spavins and wheezes of age are not even passing thoughts. But one day there comes the sudden painful thump, the sharp imperative reminder of mortality, and the metaphorical heart says stay, but the literal mind says go. We move this week to a house on South Battery in old Charleston, with a view from the bedrooms to the sea. It is a city of great charm and friendliness — Charlestonians call it the Holy City — and I will have a comfortable office to work in. This is not retirement. That comes a few years hence. I will be commuting constantly to Capitol Hill. Ultimately I may try my hand at teaching. Who knows? On the Friday before St. Patrick’s, I made my last drive out from Washington. I had hoped for a gorgeous spring day, with every budding tree just perfect, but the skies came up gray as gravel. I paused at a favorite spot west of Amissville, where Route 211 makes a long climbing turn. Ordinarily the whole panoply of the Blue Ridge comes into view, but that afternoon I saw the mountains through a blur of rain. Only it wasn’t rain. Taken from “The Writer’s Art” column by James J.

Abuse Continued from page 1 false reports of abuse as a weapon in divorce cases, most reports of abuse have some foundation in fact, "according to Mr. Luke and Mrs. Bowen. “False reports represent a small percentage — especially among young children,” Mr. Luke said. Most false reports are filed by teenagers or parents involved in divorce ■cases, especially when the report is made by the parent rather than the child. “But we don’t rule that out, we look for corroborating evidence.” Children, Mr. Luke added, “don’t lie. And their memories are suprisingly good in relation to certain things.” He stressed that abusive parents can be found in all walks of life, and 'related the story of a judge who molested the son of another judge while they attended a judicial conference. “It’s a sex drive, 'an attraction to young children.” Many times, Mr. Luke said, when a case of abuse is reported, investigated and the perpetrator arrested, additional cases will come to iwwwmwfffw PlTD/IBAOII T* V*/ B m%BUBW Bfflif Make Quick work ot the worst weeds! the TROY-BILT TRAIL BLAZER’ Sickle Bar Mower Clear 1000 sq. ft. in iust 5 minutes with this 38" wide Sickle Bar Mower.

He takes advantage of the trusting atmosphere” of a family, or perhaps as a trusted friend. “They look like normal people,” Mr. Luke said, “but they are deceptive and manipulative. The abuse has usually gone on for years, especially if it involves family members — and they look like a model family from the outside.” Another disturbing trend Mr. Luke has discovered during his investigations is that family members, usually the mother, knew what was happening and didn’t report the abuse. “In every case the mother knew what was going on, but denied the whole problem.” Once the abuse was brought to the attention of authorities, he added, many children are brought under “tremendous pressure” by the family to recant their story. They are told, “Look what’s happened . . . Daddy could go to jail . . . you will break up our family... “But that’s the easy way out,” the prosecutor continued. “When F the child resists that and comes through to testify in court — you i pretty much know that you’ve got the truth.” “It takes tremendous courage,” Mrs. Bowen agreed. But even if the child recants the accusations, she said, “we’ve got to go ahead and look over the case and see why. We don’t just drop the case.” Sue'<i 'paa/Uatt Outlet EASTER SAVINGS EASTER FASHIONS AFFORDABLE PRICES i Famous Label Dresses Petite-Junior-Missy Skirts • Blouses • Sweaters' Short Sets • Dress Pants • and Much More!!

An estimated 1,000 hopeful anglers, give or take a few, lined Rappahannock streams at noon. Fishing was good if not excellent as most people took a few fish and many had their limit. If participation and anticipation can be counted, the opening day was a great success. The primary business of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors at the regular April meeting Friday was the annual road hearing. Though this was the annual opportunity to air complaints and beefs concerning secondary raods in the county, there were fewer attending and few complaints registered than usual.

Happiness in 'Divine Love' By HOWARD ZIEMER Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Perhaps the most remarkable thing lecturer Nola Cook of Cleveland, Ohio, says about happiness is that it doesn’t depend on circumstances — whether we’re married or unmarried, the level (or lack) of our success, or where we live and how much money we make. In fact she believes that if we look to those things for “guarantees of a lifetime of happiness,” we’ll be bitterly disappointed. At the invitation of the members of First Church of Christ, in Warrenton, Scientist Mrs. Cook will speak to the community this Sunday, April 8 on “Is it Possible to Live Happily ever after?” Her public lec ture will be held at their new church building at 311 Jackson Street in Warrenton at 3 p.m. During the hour-long lecture, Mrs. Cook will discuss illustrations from the Bible as well as from modem living to explain her conviction that “happiness is spiritual.” She means by this that happiness comes from God. “You aren’t going to find it in a relationship,” she says. It has to be found in God, in our spiritual living, if it’s going to be permanent.” Mrs. Cook is a Christian Science practitioner. As such, she is active in the public ministry of Christian healing and is available to help others who wish to turn to God in prayer for healing of their problems — including physical illness. W. C.

Tune ups & Repairs Sperryvllle Pike 703/825-8 I 66 Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: By: Kev. Merlin Shorb Rappahannock Methodist Charge Flint Hill, Sperryville and Willis Chapel IS THEOLOGY IMPORTANT? A theology is an idea of God. We all have a God concept. That we may not speak the trade language of an academic discipline does not disqualify us. All of us are theologians. The atheist also has a God concept, a theology. But what I am trying to get at is the place of theology in human relationships. We meet folks every day who disagree with us. What shall our attitude be? If we come across as dogmatic, we discourage any dialog. If we stay off the subject altogether, we never hear another viewpoint. In either case we have failed to touch the theology, the person, of another. To tell the truth, my theology is not perfect. One of the reasons I keep searching the Scriptures (all of them) is to check out my understanding of God, to make my theology more biblically consistent. I accept the authority of the Bible because the Church has done so from its inception; but also because I do not consider myself to be a greater authority. In other words, I stand under scriptural truth, not above it. If I am growing, then my ideas about God, imperfect at best, will be changing. As a Christian, I proclaim truth, much of which I do not understand. For example, how it was possible for God to exchange our sin for his righteousness (II Cor. 5:21) is more than this mind can hold. But I can still proclaim it because I believe it. God will always remain a wonder, a mystery. What God accomplished in Christ at the Cross is in the same category. Of course theology is important. But the importance of a truth does not depend on my personal grasp of that truth. At this point all of us could use a little more humility. There is no scriptural warrant for unchristianizing anyone over a point of doctrine. The only incidents of breaking fellowship were over moral infractions, and then only for the offenders' salvation. (I Cor. 5:5; Gal. 6:1) Our differences need to be heard because our theology is yet imperfect. The above article appeared last week with two sentences deleted.

Tuesday visitors of Mrs. Sarah Real Estate t§yf Eileen M. Day REALTOR HOME PRICE VS. INCOME INCREASE During the past ten years, housing prices have increased about 116% and median monthly housing expenses have risen 105% . Not so bad on the face of it when you con sider that the median income of home buyers has increased just about the same amount during the decade—from $22,700 to almost $46,000. This is partly because there are more 2 income families. In households with two adults, 67% have a substantial second income. This phenomenon has helped reduce the percentage of housing expenses vs. in come. Tt»i years ago, 38% of us paid one fourth or more of our monthly income for hous ing. Today only 30% of us pay that much. Overall, home buyers are relatively affluent. A recent sur vey. found that a typical first time buyer last year was 31 years old with a median house hold income of about $50,000. Many have profited handsom ely from selling their previous home and traded up to better home. If there is anything we can do to help you Jn the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY.

CURRIE Rappahannock New» Staff Writer It’s just about Eastertime. The idea brings a breath of freshness, a promise of spring’s warmth, a newness of spring’s color to mind. But Easter holds not only secular meaning to people around the county but represents a meaningful and holy time in the Christian community. In Rappahannock County, residents celebrate Easter in Easter’s true meaning — as dawn lightens the skies. As sun rises on the county, residents of various denominations congregate under open skies, revealing in nature’s new colors at the birth of a new day. Rappahannock County’s largest sunrise service is held atop Red Oak Mountain in Woodville. Combined congregations from Amissville, Forest Grove and Woodville Baptist Churches gather with friends to worship at 6:15 a.m., as dawn brings light to Easter morning, April 15. “It’s beautiful up there,” retired Forest Grove Pastor A.C. Walker said, referring to the property which was long part of the Johnson family holding. “One year, the sun was coming up on one side and the moon Regular Sales *Ev«ry Tuesday HORSE SALE STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st.

Lanny Horton, director of mission for the Siloh Baptist Association. Rev. Horton will deliver the Easter message with Rev. Sidney Rodriguez, Rev. Tom Evertte and Rev. Starke Jones presiding over prayers, singing or scripture readings. The community is invited to attend the service and the full breakfast following at Forest Grove Schoolhouse and hosted by the Forest Grove Baptist Church congregation. In case of inclement weather, the service is held at one of the three participating churches. “It’s been about 10 years since we’ve had rain for an April Easter,” Rev. Walker said with encouragement. The Willis Chapel, Flint Hill and Sperryville Methodist Churches also gather together for Easter sunrise service. This year, Flint Hill Methodist will host the Sunday service at 6:15 a.m. with Rev. Merlin Shorb offering the Easter message' Willis Chapel will host the Hoi y Thursday service at 7:30 p.m. and Sperryville Methodist hosts a 7:30 p.m. Good Friday service. Afterwards, the Methodist Church Men invite friends, congregation and guest to breakfast, prepared and presented by the men, at the Flint Hill Fire Hall in Flint Hill. “It’s a full breakfast,” Rev. Shorb offered. For several years now, Washington’s Trinity Episcopal Church congregation, friends and guests have gathered amid Christmas trees at Nels Parson’s Christmas Tree Farm in Washington, for a shortened Eucharist service. “It’s a special and glorious service,” Trinity’s Rev. Jennings Hobson III said, adding the shortened service is held at 6:15 a.m., just as dawn is expected to break — scheduled this year for 6:20 a.m. Signs indicating directions to the Parson home are posted throughout Washington. The family hosts a continental breakfast after the service. “The early morning service is an early Christian practice,” Rev. Hobson explained, influenced greatly by Jewish customs as the early Christians were of Jewish decent. Honoring this order, the Episcopal Church Women’s Fellowship will provide a Seder Meal — a traditional Jewish passover meal — Holy Thursday — at 6:30 p.m. in the church fellowship hall, “putting us in touch with our Jewish roots,” Rev. Hobson explained, adding a Holy Thursday service follows the meal at 7:30 a.m. Trinity Episcopal Church offers a noonday prayer service on Good Friday. Offering Easter music and an Easter monologue, Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church’s Rev. Dan Gregg invites congregation and community friends and guests to Burke Mountain in Woodville for a 6:30 a.m. service. “Each year, I dress up as a bibical character and give a monologue as the service,” Rev. Gregg siad, adding this year he plans to feature Simon-Peter. Music and singing are part of the service, followed by a full-breakfast in the church. In case of inclement weather, the service is held at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church.

In the same report, the trustees predicted that in 1989 income to the trust funds would increase to $294 billion with a total payout of approximately $236 billion. The annual report due in May 1990 on the 1989 Social Security finances is expected to show similar results. This helps to assure payment of retirement benefits when “baby boomers” reach retirement age, according to a Social Security spokesman. With the continued increase in the Social Security trust funds, many people ask why this surplus is not used to raise Social Security benefits. “To consider the increase a surplus is a misconception, since the amount in the trust funds is not above what is needed, but merely a reserve to meet the financial commitment to workers in the next century, when today’s young workers will become eligible for Social Security benefits,” the spokesman explained.

Spring ushers in lamb season By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Lamb is noted for the delicate flavor, tenderness and versatility that it can add to menus. Many families like to serve lamb at Easter and other springtime meals. Lamb, meat from an immature sheep, is marketed according to age and sometimes grade. Grades found at the retail level are Prime, Choice and sometimes Good. The age at which the lamb was processed is a major determinant of tenderness and delicacy of flesh. The younger the lamb, with the exception of those under two months of age, the more tender and flavorful the meat. Lamb may be labeled as milk fed lamb, spring lamb and genuine spring lamb, all of which came to market at six months of age or less. Mutton comes from a mature sheep between one and two years of age. Nutrients in lamb Like all red meats lamb is a rich source of protein which is used by the body for building and repairing muscles and tissues. The proteins supplied are complete, high quality proteins. In addition lamb also con- * — ■ --- — ■ — HOME ECONOMICS tributes to the B-vitamin requirements and to the mineral requirements of iron and phosphorus. Selecting fresh lamb When selecting fresh lamb, note the following qualities: The younger the animal, the smaller the carcass and its corresponding meat cuts; at retail, most cuts are uniform size. The younger the animal, the paler the fresh color. Flesh should be firm and fine-grained. Marbling, which contributes to flavor and tenderness, is also an indication if increasing age. Fat surrounding the lean will be whiter in the young animal, with a firm texture and slightly waxy consistency. Cooking lamb In cooking fresh lamb, most cuts can be prepared using dry heat methods. Some cuts such as shoulder chops, neck slices, shank or breast are better braised or simmered. When simmering, cook the lamb until done, then cool overnight in the refrigerator. This way the fat can be simply removed in a congealed sheet, which makes many inexpensive lamb recipes more popular. Legs, loins and racks should be roasted no higher than 325 degrees F. This low temperature holds shrinkage and loss of juices to a minimum. It also contributes to more even cooking and browning and appealing flavor. USDA Choice Beef BONELESS CHUCK ROAST SUN. MON. TUES.

The best time to season lamb depends on the method of cooking. Roasts are most often seasoned before cooking for this gives the seasoiiings a chance to penetrate at the least part way into the meat. However, it is usually considered best to season chops and steaks after browning. What is the fell? The fell is the thin paper like cowering found over the fat of all lamb. If it has not been removed from chops in the market, this should be done. However, leave it on the leg for it will hold its shape better and be juicier with the fell left on. Serving lamb Lamb should always be served piping hot or cold, but never lukewarm. Roasts should have a chance to “set” a short while, about 15 minutes, to give the meat a chance to firm up and make carving easier. Serve all other lamb immediately.

Bad weather stalls spring sports By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School’s spring sports teams were looking toward a new beginning this season: rebuilding of the baseball team and a first-ever full season of play for the softball team. But rain, wind and cold is making the season look more and more like a repeat of last year, when torrential downpours for almost a month forced the postponement of nearly one-third of the season. Last week, the teams played two games each, but have been unable to practice, much less play, since last Wednesday. Though both the baseball and softball teams lost both games, coaches Dee Van Horn and Renee Leake were optimistic about their teams’ chances. This week, both coaches are worried. The long layoff will affect their players’ preparation, particularly with teams who are relying on young players. They need, Coach Van Horn said, not just playing time but practice time as well. “It hurts us by not being able to work on the little things, the fundamentals like relays and cut-offs.” He resorted to “parking lot practices” on Monday and Tuesday, marking off plates and pitching rubbers on the asphalt so his pitchers could keep their arms loose, while his fielders worked on throwing and catching. And, the team spent some time refurbishing the field, which was reduced to a muddy morass by last week’s rain and snow. “It’s been so wet, we couldn’t even drag the field,” Coach Van Horn said. After sweeping the standing water off the infield dirt, the players worked on the worst spots with a mixture of sand and dirt to soak up the moisture. “They have really worked hard on the field,” the coach said. “If we can’t play ball I can rent these guys out as a yard crew. They’ve been super.” Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan LEADING THE PANTHER ATTACK, Tasha Roy takes a cut at the ball against Central last week. The Panthers lost a heartbreaker, 26-25. Over at the girls’ field the story has been much the same, although the Lady Panthers attempted to squeeze in a game Monday against Luray. But the skies opened and rained out the game after two innings. “They were really disappointed,” Coach Leake said, when the game was called with the Panthers leading 10-2. The visitors were running for their bus, she said, while her girls stood on the field begging the umpire to continue the game. Despite their 0-2 start, she said, the team’s attitude is “super. I see a turnaround.” After seeing her team in game situations, the coach said, she has made some changes in the lineup to better use the strengths she has dis DEFENSIVE LEADER PHILIP DACZEWITZ makes the big stretch at first to edge out a Central batter last week. Despite his effort, Rappahannock lost to the Falcons. covered. Though she will continue to use starting pitcher Karen Payne a lot, she plans to make more use of her sister Sharon in relief. “It’s just too much pressure to ask her to pull the entire game.” Coach Van Horn noted that his players have been getting in some practice on their own — including a group which has been traveling to Fredericksburg to take batting practice at a private indoor facility. “They’re spending their own time and money to do that,” he pointed out. Injuries to key players have hurt both teams as well. The softball team lost center-fielder Deena Hitt for two weeks. She will return this week, and Coach Leake is optimistic that she will spark the team. The boys have lost senior Scott Tummeyer, possibly for the entire season, to tendonitis in his right shoulder. “He may be my permanent first base coach,” Mr. Van Horn said. “We’ll use his leadership abilities that way.” With Tummeyer out, the team has lost one-sixth of its pitching staff, and that worries Coach Van Horn too. He planned to work his pitching staff for only partial games, particularly early in the season, but with cancellations backing up the schedule he is concerned about overworking his young pitching staff. “The lack of depth becomes a factor.” But the coach has seen bright points out too. With Tummeyer out, Justin Ferrence stepped into the second base slot “and did a really good job. I was pleased with that.” As of Tuesday afternoon, depending on the weather, both teams had games scheduled Wednesday afternoon at home against Page.

Abuse Continued from page 5 and sexual, as well as its less severe but still damaging forms of neglect, have been around as long as there have been families, the problem has found widespread publicity only in recent years. “It was always one of the taboo subjects,” Mrs. Bowen explained. People just didn’t talk about it, and if they suspected in among other family members, friends or neighbors, they kept their suspicions to themselves. And, Mr. Luke pointed out, “only in the past few years has an area of expertise developed, including statistics, demographics and indications which investigators can look for in suspected cases.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation now has a child abuse expert at its academy in Quantico, Virginia, and the American Prosecutors Research Institute has established the National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse, which offers assistance and expertise to any local agency faced with a prosecution of suspected abuse. Prosecution of abusers is important, Mrs. Bowen emphasized, both for the obvious reason of punish ment, but also because going to court and getting a conviction “vindicates the child. The child then knows they were believed, they did the right thing. It helps immeasurably in the healing process.” And, Mr. Luke stressed, anyone with suspicions of child abuse should not be afraid to report them. Some people are obligated by law to report, including doctors, teachers, police officers and emergency medical personnel. And all reports are investigated, no matter how insubstantial they may sound. “We’d rather go and investigate and have it turn out to be nothing than not to have it reported and have a child hurt.” “Everyone knows their role, and everyone knows the guidelines. The prosecution is important,” Mr. Luke agreed, “but we have to provide support to the victim over the long-term — often for years, including foster care and counseling. We have to keep in mind that the victim has concerns and needs independent of the prosecution — regardless of whether the case is brought to justice or not.” For more information about the protocol team, contact Mrs. Bowen at the Department of Social Services in Washington (675-3313) or Mr. Luke at the Commonwealth Attorney’s office in Washington (6753318).

VA OL.lt 1639 BZA Continued from page 3 Department approval for a septic system. He told the BZA he is concerned that the location of the well for the Fosters’ house not interfere with the location of his septic system. He said he didn’t want to try to; keep them from building a house, because “I know how hard it is to find a place to build in Rappahannock.” The BZA members agreed that the location for the well for the Fosters’ house could be moved to accommodate Mr. CordeFs septic location. “In a case like that with so many lots so close together, you would proba my ue auviseu 10 pui a ^iass £. wen in anyway,” Mr. Bird said. The Class 2 well has an extra protective casing enclosing it to prevent leachate from the septic field from infiltrating into the well. Class 2 wells can be as close as 50 feet to a drainfield, while Class 3 wells must be 100 feet away. The primary concern the BZA members had was whether this variance would set a precedent for many more. In order to grant a variance the BZA has to make several findings. One requires that the hardship not be shared by other properties in the vicinity, and not so general or recurring that a better solution would be the adoption of an amendment to the zoning ordinance which addresses all such problems. “There are a lot of lots like that; there is a question in my mind how unique this situation is,” member Sid Gottlieb commented. “If it is a common thing the Board of Supervisors ought to deal with, we defer to them rather than grant a million variances,” Mr. Bird said. “This is the first one we’ve had in Chester Gap for a variance,” BZA chairman Butch Zindel said. “That’s because most people get two lots together to build on,” Mr. McCarthy replied. “As soon as we do one, everybody will come in,” Mr. Zindel said. “Now we have people combining lots, and that’s good for the neighborhood.” As the members reviewed the findings, Mr. Zindel said he could not find that the situation was sufficiently unique. The other members could, and with the provision that the well be located to accommodate Mr. Carder’s planned septic system, the members voted unanimously to grant the variance. The BZA also approved the ap- • plication of Joy Benedict and Richard Cartwright-Brown to increase the capacity of their bed and breakfast from two to four rooms. Several months ago the BZA denied the application of James and Edna Scott for a variance to keep a pond on their property, close to their neighbors’ property line and house; The pond had been constructed, according to testimony during the hearing, before the Scotts knew that it violated ordinance requirements by its proximity to the property line. The BZA denied the request for a variance, and ordered that the pond be drained and the area regraded to remove the depression where the pond was located. The members were told at last week’s meeting that the pond has been drained, but that no regrading has been done, and the hole remains. The BZA ordered that the pond be removed within 90 days. Mr. McCarthy told the BZA members that the pond had been drained within 30 days, but nothing further had happened. The BZA voted to “instruct Mr. McCarthy to refer the matter to the commonwealth’s attorney for further action to obtain compliance with the order that the pond be removed.” James Swindler abstained on the vote, because he had not attended the meetings at which the Scott pond was considered.

The troup performed adaptations of Rudyard Kipling’s stories including, above, a tale about how elephant got its long trunk. \ r\ Committee Continued from page 1 gone out of our way not to invite planning commissioners, town council members or lawyers who might find themselves later co-opted on one side or another.” Mr. Thomasson also noted that the group’s function is entirely advisory, and that their recommendations, if any, are not binding on Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Lynch. He described their duty as “fact-finding, a conduit for concerns, problems and recommendations made by members of the community.” The input thus gathered from the community, Mr. Thomasson continued, will be formed into a report which will be presented to Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Lynch. “At that point, obviously, it is up to them to do with it what they choose.” The committee’s charge, he added, is to contact everyone possible “of all persuasions within the community, to prepare a questionable and invite public opinion.” He suggested that, in order for the process to be effective, a broad range of ideas must be considered, and the committee members must be open to'any suggestions as they talk to residents. “This should not be restrictive ... it is meant to be inclusive, not exclusive.” The only limitation, he said, is that suggestions should be “critically attentive and constructive.” The committee began its work with a background briefing by Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Lynch on the history of the Inn and the process which led up to the presentation of the expansion plan which was unveiled at January’s Planning Commission meeting. After the briefing, the committee decided that, at its next meeting, the members would formulate a questionaire which will be used as a guide as contacts are made with community members. After talking with as many members of the community as possible, the committee Testing Continued from page 1 you to have a general water chemistry analysis of your household water performed and treatments made, free of charge, for the following: iron, manganese, sulfur, sodium, copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, chloride, nitrates, hardness, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, saturation index to determine corrosivity and acidity (ph).” Since there is also the potential for bacterial contamination of household water supples due to septic tank drainfields and animal wastes, participants are encouraged to submit an additional water sample for a bacterial analysis for which there will be $12 lab fee. Should you choose to participate in this program, Mr. Williams explained, you will collect your own water sample and deliver it to the Rappahannock County Extension 'Office from where it will be forwarded to the Agricultural Engineering Water Quality Laboratory at Virginia Tech to be tested for the above-named constituents. An informational meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 11 at 7 ,p.m. at Rappahannock County High School for the general public to explain about the grant, threats to groundwater, how the water samples will be taken, the collection dates in May and June and the fol: low-up meetings in June and July. ■ Speakers at the April 11 meeting will include Tommy Williams and Helen Smith, local Extension agents, and Dr. Blake Ross and Dr. Janice Woodard from Virginia Tech, coordinators of the 1990 USDA Extension Water Quality Initiative grant, who will address threats to our groundwater and the health effects of drinking water contaminants. In addition, Jan Pickrel from the State Water Control Board will discuss the hydrogelogy of Rappahannock County and DRASTIC mapping. The grant will provide- funds to test 200 wells in Rappahannock County for the general water chem' istry analysis. “Those wells that the laboratory determines are suspect will be tested for pesticides,” Mr. Williams added. “We have applied for additional funds from several local organizations,” he continued, “and if we received additional funds we can test more than 200 wells.” “We also appreciate the support of our local Board of Supervisors and County Administrator for providing funds for the DRASTIC maps,” stated Mrs. Smith. “We are very excited to be the recipient of this grant and encourage all citizens to attend the public meeting on April 11 to learn more about it,” she continued.

Saturday, and Sunday will meet again to formulate the responses into some type of report form which will presented to the Inn’s owners at a fourth meeting. When asked if they had any particular concerns which they would like addressed, Mr. O’Connell replied that they have found the “nonspecific criticism, ‘It’s too big,’ frustrating. If that is the number one concern, what is it about the present design that is most distressing?” Aside from that, he continued, the general issue of whether the Inn should be allowed to expand should be separated from concerns over the specific design presented in January. “Those concerns must be dealt with, one by one,” Mr. O’Connell said. “We need to prioritize them — they seem to swing from week to i V«ek ^ . But we peed t# know what facts are needed to dispel the mythology which is being built up around it. “The question we are trying to get to,” Mr. O’Connell added, “is what is it going to take for everybody to be happy. We were never trying to upset people . . . We would like to be part of the growth and enhancement of the town, to make it more beautiful than it is. “At the very broadest level,” he said, “we are all trying to do what is best for the town ... It is only in our best interest to enhance the town. After a discussion, the committee members decided to hold their Rescue squads seek volunteers By LEILANI STANLEY ' Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council is a non-profit coordinating organization which assists emergency medical services agencies in the five counties of Planning District 9 in training, coordination, and recruitment and retention of personnel. Although training is a major task of the RREMS council, it assists communities and citizens in a variety of ways. One important aspect of the goal of the RREMS Council and professional staff is public information ■< and education. j As many people do not know, all 1 of the rescue squads in Rappahan- j nock, Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier t and Orange counties are staffed by t volunteers. In addition to their regu- ] lar jobs, family commitments, church and civic activities, these individuals volunteer hundreds of ! hours each year in preparing and de- * livering emergency medical care to the citizens of the region. Being a member of a rescue saliad does not simply mean responding'to calls; in fact, the hours committecK^o training, maintenance of eauipmentT'vehjcles and buildings, "-fund raising ana'otljer administrative tasks far outwei&h^the actual time given on emergency calls. Acquisition and retention of highly specialized medical training ‘Versons skilled in fund raising, advertising, vehicle maintenance, public speaking and a variety of other jobs are needed to ease the load on the overburdened volunteers. ” — Leilani Stanley PD9 EMS director nd skills takes a great deal of time, et is necessary to maintain high Jvels of skill. This time commitment 'laces a great strain on the voluneers; additional helpers are needed o ease the load and to improve the SMS system. The local rescue squads are always searching for men and women nterested in becoming Emergency ledical Technicians; however, many 3ther skills are needed in the provision of emergency care. Persons skilled in fund raising, advertising, /ehicle maintenance, public speakng and a variety of other jobs are leeded to ease the load on the overburdened volunteers. Likewise, appropriate use of the EMS system is important. Although not an overwhelming problem, it is nonetheless taxing to respond to a call that is not emergency in nature. Abuse of the rescue squads further adds to burnout experienced by volunteers, leading to a decline in the number of persons available to respond to calls. Provisions of emergency medical services has been, and must continue to be, a top community concern. In addition to giving regular tax-deductible contributions during yearly fund drives, additional assistance as outlined previously is needed. Persons interested in assisting local EMS agencies should contact the Rappahannock-Rapidan EMS Council office in Culpeper at (703)825-6849. Leilani Stanley is the executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council.

Agriculture Continued from page 1 subcontract a portion of the report dealing with the future prospects for traditional and nontraditional crops in Rappahannock to Virginia Tech’s REAP, which could use Rappahannock as a case study, increasing the chances of attracting foundation support, he said. Mr. White said his committee is most interested in moving ahead with the survey of farmers and with making recommendations for land use taxation. “Waiting to pick up large sums of money could drag things out for months and months,” he said. He also urged the planners not consider the outline of the final report as “immutable. It is subject to change as we move along, particularly as farmers coalesce maybe the outline will change substantially,” he said. “There is some virtue in going at this on a piecemeal basis.” Wakefield representative Werner Krebser said, “What interests me most is that you are willing to go into the economics of it. This is very crucial with the changes occurring.” “We have not gone very far,” Mr. White said. “It’s my impression that there is considerable diversity; some are doing relatively well.” “You point out that many, like me, have outside income,” Dr. Krebser said. “I’d like to see if other people are willing to show their books, to show we’re making an effort and are not just here for a tax dodge as we’re accused.” “I’ve been warned that it is a sensitive topic,” Mr. White said. “In preparing the questionaire we plan to make extensive use of farmers in the community. We may have to winnow out matters of finance.” “Your report says the newcomers are the ones who complain about land use taxation,” Dr. Krebser continued. “I would say it is more the oldtimers who do not farm.” “It is one of the most controversial aspects of farming here in the county,” Mr. White said. “When we speak to farmers, they’re very concerned with losing land use. We don’t want to endorse a matter that may be flawed. We will make recomr i RAY T CANNON CO. INC. REAL ESTATE SINCE I9'jl FIRST TIME OFFERED!!

That goes hand and hand.” “There are techniques for controlling the use of land on behalf of agriculture which have been developed nationwide,” Mr. White said. Jackson District representative David Fannon asked how the committee proposes to survey all the farmers, and Mr. White replied that county extension agent Thomas Williams is compiling lists from his office and from the Soil Conservation Service. He said the first phase of the survey would be to approach all the farmers in a telephone survey. “Then a sampling would be selected for a more thorough followup on a face to face basis.” The planners agreed to have a representative of the American Farmland Trust make a presentation to the commission at its May meeting and invite members of the Board of Supervisors to attend. The planners next considered a proposal for Planned Unit Residential Developments (PURDs) presented by County Administrator John McCarthy several months ago. Under a PURD plan, instead of dividing farmland into 25-acre parcels, subdivisions would be encouraged to provide smaller lots with the remainder in an open space easement. “The way this thing came about is under the old ordinance you could take a 200-acre farm and divide it up in 25-acre lots,” Board of Supervisors representative Mike Massie said. “You have taken the whole 200 acres out of agriculture, and in the meantime you haven’t provided any housing opportunities for the people of Rappahannock County. It was a good idea in the new ordinance to go to an average density of 25 acres. ” Under the current zoning ordinance, agricultural land can be divided into parcels smaller than 25 acres under a special exception process.

MARSH 703-987-8389 Broker 800-542-4881 special exceptions recently they have required that a deed restriction be placed on the remaining land noting that future development rights have been limited by the smaller lot or lots already allowed. Dr. Krebser said, for example, if he has 700 acres and 250 of it is mountainous and on steep slopes, this would allow him to put 10 houses on land he ordinarily could not develop. Mr. McCarthy said that one problem with the way the current special exception process is working is that in the future a court could void the deed restrictions. Mr. McCarthy said, “My fear is that I will be sitting at a desk behind (Commonwealth Attorney) Peter Luke trying to defend our zoning ordinance, and someone will argue that 25 acres is not economically developable. If your intent is to keep people out, it’s wrong on its face. You will encourage that the whole county be divided into 25-acre pieces.” Mr. Fannon replied that the PURD concept will encourage people to build a lot of little houses on four or five acres, “and they’re going to put them on top of the biggest hill they have. Looking at eight houses on a hill is not more aesthetically pleasing than looking at 25-acre lots.” “I’ve never been much for PURD,” Hampton representative John Clark Jr., added. “I think you ought to throw it in the trash can. People can bring in 19-foot house trailers and you have 25 more kids in school. How does the county benefit? What we have is working for the simple reason that 25 acres is not economical to develop. ” “It would be an interesting question for Mr. White to include in his survey,” Mr. Fannon said. “I wouldn’t mind making it mandatory,” Mr. Massie said. “I would like to see strong encouragement for clustering rather than giving them extra density.” “Let’s see what the survey shows about low-cost housing,” Dr. Krebser said.

Five premium stations would also be offered: Home Box Office (HBO), the Disney Channel, Home Team Sports, Showtime and the Movie Channel. These would be offered for additional monthly fees which range from $3 for Home Team Sports to $9 for most of the others, according to the franchise proposal. There would be other charges ranging from $2.50 per month for additional television sets, to $35 for the initial hookup. That installation charge applies to any home located within 150 feet of the transmission line. If the house is farther than that from the line the homeowner must pay an additional installation charge based on the extra distance the cable must be run. Mr. Burke said if the franchise is granted by the county, he will hold meetings in the fire halls of the communities involved to explain how the system will work and demonstrate the equipment. Initially cable TV would be provided in Flint Hill, Washington, Sperryville and Amissville as well as Chester Gap. Mr, Price said the service would be extended wherever adjacent areas met the requirement of 15 houses per mile, and that the standard might be changed to 10 houses per mile.

Mr. McCarthy said often franchise agreements allow the locality to buy the equipment if a company wants to sell out or if service is discontinued. Jospeh Price, regional manager of Adelphia, said, “The right of first refusal at fair market value and the discontinuation if service is not provided for 30 days are conditions under which we are used to operating. ” Phil Irwin asked if the county would get any income from the franchise. “Five percent off the top,” Mr. McCarthy said. Mr. Irwin continued, “With the phone company burying cables, we have gotten rid of one wire in our view. In the town of Washington all these lines are distracting.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson noted that the proposal included a copy of a “glowing letter to stockholders that doesn’t match Adelphia’s performance in the stock market. Has the stock dropped?” Mr. Price acknowledged that the stock has dropped and explained, “The financing of cable TV has changed drastically. Adelphia is a sound cable TV operator. It has rised from 18th largest in the country to 15th, and this growth has continued in spite of the factors that make the cable business difficult.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “The debt drives the stock down. It is a false indication.” “There is going to be some form of reregualtion,” Mr. Price said. “There was a recognition in 1984 that the industry was stifled, and Congress took the lid off. The industry has grown as a result of deregulation, but the climate now in Congress is to say, ‘We have accom Pine Springs Farm 104.208 acres with ponds and streams, 60% open, completely private, a 200 year old log cabin with one bath. $550,000.

At Monday’s meeting the board also decided to postpone until the May meeting the appointment of a member of the Planning Commission from Jackson District. Col. Bingham nominated George Wesselholf to replace David Fannon as the district’s commissioner, But he failed to get A second for his nomination. Col. Bingham and Mr. Fannon, who has represented Jackson District since 1978, have been at odds over Mr. Fannon’s performance on the Planning Commission. Last April the dispute came to a bitter head when Col. Bingham made public a letter he wrote to Mr. Fannon; requesting his resignation. He cited what he felt was Commissioner Fannon’s “lack of attention to detail” which led to 'what Col. Bingham alleged were numerous errors of fact in the portions of the revision of the county’s Comprehensive Plan which applied to Amissville and Jackson District. As the district supervisor, Col. Bingham may nominate a person to serve on the Planning Commission, but does not have the power to force that appointee to resign. That led to his request, last year, for Mr. Fannon’s resignation. Mr. Fannon’s only reply was, “I’ll resign if he’ll resign. That will be my ultimate service to Rappahannock County.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM James W.
