Schools face $100,000 cut Final decision on amount delayed pending hearing By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Members of the Board of Supervisors indicated at a Monday evening work session on the school budget for next year that they were interested in cutting about $100,000 from that budget. “I have a question for you,” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said to School Superintendent David Gangel early in the meeting. “You can answer it now or answer it later. If we cut $100,000 out of this budget, do you think you could live with it?” “I know you want what’s best for the children,” Dr. Gangel said. “I would ask for flexibility. Sure it’s going to hurt, but I came here knowing the county only has so much money.” The supervisors indicated that they would be willing to cut by the bottom line and let the school administration and School Board determine where the cuts should come, rather than cutting by function, or line item. However, they did suggest that the across the board salary increase might be four percent rather than six percent, and that once step increases were figured in that would still allow the county to show that teachers salaries had increased by the state mandated five percent. The county will lose $36,313 in state aid unless teachers receive a raise of five percent. During an interview with the Rappahannock News on Tuesday, Dr. Gangel said that he could not take all of a See BUDGET, p. 17 Eleven vie for council posts in May 1 election By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Next Tuesday, May 1, Washington’s 122 registered voters will elect a new mayor, treasurer and five members of the Town Council. For the posts of mayor and treasurer, the incumbents, Dean Morehouse andl?rad Fisher, are unopposed. However, there are nine candidates for the five council seats. The Rappahannock News conducted a brief interview with each candidate, asking for general statements about their candicacy. Each was asked why they decided to run, what they saw as the major issues facing the town, and what they hope to accomplish if elected to the council. Their responses follow, with, the council candidates listed in alphabetical order. Dean F. Morehouse Mr. Morehouse was elected to his first term as mayor in 1986, after serving as a charter member of the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals. He said he sees three Washington town election Tuesday, May 1 Polling place: Washington Fire Hall Polls open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Absentee ballots due April 28 Candidates Mayor (unopposed): Dean Morehouse Treasurer (unopposed): Brad Fisher Council (five seats): Mark Bailey, Charles Eldred, Ray Gooch, Reinhardt Lynch, Newbill Miller, Janice Moffett, Arthur Neufeld, Susan Parrish, William Wickens. m^jor issues facing the town during the next council’s four-year term. First he listed “good goverment; with the town run as it should be done, with the business done with the public, in front of the public.” He added he is proud of the progress the present council has made on this score. The town’s water supply and destribution system, he said, “is taken too lightly by some.” The town has been cited in the past by the Health Department for violations, he said, and its chlorination system will remain in violation until it is replaced by an entirely new unit. He pointed out the town has received an $11,000 grant to fund the design of the new system, and has another $231,500 loan from the Farmers Home Administration approved and awaiting additional financing. “The director of FmHA has been out,” Mr. Morehouse said, “and he is impressed by the gravity of the situation.” The town’s problem with septic tanks and drainfields, he said, is just becoming known, “but is growing in importance.” How to address failing septic fields, as well as the additional pressures of development necessitating more septic fields on the already overloaded soils in and around the town, he said, “is a monster task.” See ELECTION, p. 14 Evangelicals' camp application is tabled By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A public hearing by the county Planning Commission on the application by the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association to add a 30site campground and a dormitory for up to 112 people to their property near Castleton became a non-event when the planners cancelled the hearing because the applicant owns only 9.05 acres, not the 20 acres needed to apply under the provision in the zoning ordinance for “Camps and Recreation Grounds, Lodges and Resorts.” Rev. Lindsey Savage said he applied under this provision because it was the only one that would allow him to have both the campground and the dormitory and that he had not understood that a minimum of 20 acres was required. The decision of the planners to table the application rather than recommend denial left open the opportunity for the NPEA to apply under the provision in the ordinance for a “Travel Trailer Park,” but that would not allow for a dormitory, only the campground. County Administrator John McCarthy said he had given Rev. Savage a copy of the list of standards that included the requirement for a minimum of 20 acres. A group of about 30, mostly neighboring landowners, left the meeting after the planners decided not to hold the public hearing. The NPEA uses the property for a two-week revival during the summer. Currently those who come for the revival find lodging with local parishioners and in nearby campgrounds and motels. The planners also learned that Dr. Berkeley Rish requested that the 90-day period for the planners to make a decision on his application for a golf course be waived until he can prepare supporting documents for See PLANNERS, p. 14 Aero woods gets jail job By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Monday evening to accept a bid from Aerowoods Construction Enterprises of Remington to build the addition to the county jail for $224,175. The only other bid received when the project was readvertised was from Baugham Construction Company for $243,495. Both bids were higher than the ones previously submitted by their companies under the competitive sealed bid process, apparently because the new bids contained addi tions to the project the bidders hadn’t realized needed to be included. When the supervisors voted to reject all bids and readvertise, Baugham had submitted a bid for $225,616, and Aerowoods had submitted a bid for $222,726. The additions to the Aerowoods bid were for air-conditioning the lower level cells and for a second injector pump for the basement. Baugham’s new bid included airconditioning. Denver Quinnelly of Aerowoods said that his firm would be prepared to start construction May 4. King and Queen Rappahannock Newt phutu/Lua G.

Park poachers convicted Steven L. Gallihugh of Reva pleaded guilty to illegal hunting in Shenandoah National Park before U.S. Magistrate B. Waugh Crigler on March 15. The charges stem from an incident which occurred on Nov. 24, 1989, in which Gallihugh and another man, Robert M. Milligan, of Brightwood, were arrested for alleged hunting and weapons charges along the Skyline Drive. Milligan plead guilty to charges of possession of an open alcohol container and possession of a weapon. Gallihugh received a $350 fine, a six month suspended sentence and was ordered to pay a $200 “replacement fee” to Shenandaoh National Park, as well as refrain from entering Shenandoah National Park for a one-year period as a condition of probation. Milligan was fined $50 and was ordered to refrain from entering Shenandoah National Park for a oneyear period. In addition, Milligan was ordered to forfeit two weapons to the Government.

Hospice patients eligible for Medicare Starting in May, Hospice of the Rapidan becomes the sixth Hospice of Virginia to participate in the Hospice Medicare Benefit. The Hospice Medicare Benefit is a direct result of 1982 federal legislation making hospice care a reimbursable alternative for terminally ill Medicare patients nationwide. The benefit officially recognized hospice care as an important part of our health care system. Although Hospice care in the United States is only 15 years old, it is regarded as an important option for people with a medically diagnosed life expectancy of six months or less. Patients choosing hospice care are no longer seeking curative treatment but rather elect to receive care emphasizing comfort, including pain relief, and quality of life. This care helps patients bring their Jives to a close with a sense of control and completion while supporting their families. Under the Hospice Medicare Benefit, the patient has little out of pocket expense. Virtually all services related to the terminal illness are covered without the patient’s financial participation. There is no 20 percent deductible as with the regular medicare coverage. Medicare payments are made directly to the Hospice program and are a flat, pre-determined amount based on a daily type of care. Tina Hackney Weaver, executive director of Hospice of the Rapidan and board member of The Virginia Association for Hospices, states that, “We are very pleased to receive Hospice Medicare certification and anticipate a smooth transition. We are committed to providing the highest quality of care to all our patients, and their families. In order to provide this care, we will continue to look to our friends in the community for financial support for indigent patients.” Since Hospice of the Rapidan began providing care more than six years ago, more than 200 area patients and more than 1,400 bereaved family members have been served. The number of requests for hospice care is continually increasing. Over one-half of 1989’s total patient caseload were served during the first quarter of 1990; at this rate, hospice anticipates a 200 percent increase EQUITY CAPITAL LIABILITIES C) This form it for u«« by National Banks only It should be used for publication purposes only, and should not ba returned to the FDIC Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks REPORT OF CONDITION Consolidating domes'ic subsidiaries of the Thu Rft’ipHhannock Mntiona 1 Bunk Virginia Washington in the slate ol published Charter Number . at the close ot business response lo call made by Comptroller ot the Currency, under till. .. ..

These reports further indicate that over two-thirds of the money raised came from individuals; 87 percent of those individuj als were residents of the 7th Congressional District. The average individual gift was approximately $105. “I am please that my fundraising is going so well,” said Congressman Slaughter, “and that my campaign is drawing such wide support from every comer of the District.” Congressman Slaughter will be nominated for his fourth term at a district-wide convention to be held at the Albermarle County Office Building in Charlottesville on Saturday, May 12.

Chemical dependency costs business millions Statistics regarding drug and alcohol abuse are staggering. “While the most tragic consequences of chemical dependency are personal ones, suffered by the abuser and those closest to him, employers are also feeling the financial impact of the chemical dependency epidemic,” according to Michael Donahue of Primavera Treatment Center outside Culpeper. With more than six million substance abusers in the U.S., Mr. Donahue said,studies by the National Council on Alcoholism indicate that: • Chemically dependent employees are absent and/or late twice as often as their co-workers. • The dependent worker will incur 300 percent higher medical costs . . . driving up their employers’ and their co-workers insurance premiums. • An estimated 14 percent of the employees in any given company abuse drugs and alcohol regularly. The resulting 30 percent drop in productivity costs from $40 to $100 billion per year. • According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the typical cocaine abuser has more than 14 years of education, is well paid (with 37 percent earning more than $25,000 annually), and at least 50 percent of them are involved in illegal activities to support their drug habit. • Part of the difficulty most employers are encountering is because of the innocuousness of today’s drug usage, It’s so common, yet — especially in the workplace — so subtle. Many people who abuse drugs take drastic steps to conceal their usage in the workplace. Although they may let their family life fall apart, they keep themselves together enough to get to work, either for their own self-esteem or for the money, by the time symptoms show up on the job, the disease itself is usually far advanced. Most supervisors are not even aware that a problem exists, or they are not willing to rock the boat by calling attention to it. • There are signs that an employer can look for in an employee demonstrating signs of chemical abuse. Job performance problems, such as patterns of taridness and absenteeism, specially from their work areas. The abuser’s work quality will have declined over a period of time, and he may have trouble getting along with co-workers. In extreme cases, an employee may also steal company merchandise to support his habit. He may have mood swings, red eyes, impaired eyesight, slower reaction time, lessened concentration, poor judgement and poor coordination. They will have a much higher than normal accident rate, will borrow from their coworkers and will have family difficulties. “April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and the next time you think about the difference a drug free workplace could make in your bottom line, in your insurance premiums, consider that in our dealings with companies all are reluctant to admit there is a problem, all find it difficult to believe that members of their company family could be chemically addicted,” Mr. Donahue said. “It is the same reluctance to admit that exists in individual families which makes it difficult to get help to the abuser before it is too late,” he added. The treatment industry has very sophisticated, very confidential means of determining the degree of abuse in any company. It is part of the educational commitment we make to our community. Call Mr. Donahue at Primavera Treatment Center, toll free (800) 468-6624. He is a recognized professional in the field of employee assistance and business relations. “Ask the tough questions,” he suggested. “Ask the question, ‘Can chemical dependency exist in my company, my small business, my grocery store?’ “And get the answer before too much money goes out the door and up some employee’s nose.” Theatre IV brings fables to Warrenton stage Theatre IV, one of the nation’s leading children’s theatre companies, will present a rollicking musical adaptation of the beloved Aesop’s fable, “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse,” Wednesday, May 2, at 7 p.m. in the Warrenton Jr. High auditorium.

GRAND OPENING Frank’s Barbecue & Flea Market May 6 12 noon to 5 p.m. Featuring: Country Sensation Band Location: Rt. 28, next to Cline’s Restaurant, one mile from Manassas, south on Rt. 28. Raindate May 20, 1990 Thursday, April 26, 1990 O Height increase approved; parking plan denied By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Editor’s note: Due to luck of space, this story about the April 11 meeting of the Town Council did not appear in last week’s edition of the Rappahannock News. Following its planning commission’s recommendations, Washington’s Town Council approved a zoning ordinance amendment to allow business structures to increase their height to 45 feet, but denied another suggested amendment which would have allowed parking for commercial uses in a residential zone if the properties were owned by the same people. Both proposed amendments required the approval of a special use permit for any particular application, and the amendments’ sponsors, The Inn at Little Washington, argued that process provides a method for the council to place restrictions on any particular proposal. Councilman William Wickens, who is also the chairman of the planning commission, told the council the height amendment had been the subject of “great debate;” whether restrictions should be written into the ordinance about the size of the budding or the percentage of the structure allowed to exceed the ordinance’s by-right limit of 35 feet. Under the former ordinance, public buildings and private dwellings can build to 45 feet by special use permit, but only by increasing setbacks by one foot for each additional foot of height. The amendment provided for no additional setbacks. Further restrictions were rejected by the planners, Mr. Wickens told the council. “It was felt that could be addressed by the special use permit process.” Town attorney Frank Reynolds told the council that, if they approved the amendment, his interpretation of the ordinance would allow any structure to exercise the 45-foot option without adhering to the increased setbacks. “They still must get a special use permit to reduce the setbacks required in the zoning ordinance, however.” And, he added, the council could also attach requirements for setbacks as a condition of the permit if it felt they were necessary for a particular application. David Dickey, representing The Inn, told the council the amendment “is in the best interests of planning for the town . . . because this is a more flexible way to address any project, by the special use process. That is better for the town than any rigid formulas which force people into creative abuses.” Mr. Dickey also pointed out the ordinance “discriminates” against businesses, because it does not allow them the option given to public buildings and private homes. “The special use permit allows input from the Town Council, the Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Board.” Newbill Miller suggested the amendment be modified to require the setback match that of adjoining properties. Mr. Miller, who has been a vocal critic of the Inn’s proposed expansion, reminded the council that “the mass (of the Inn’s addition) was the concern at the public hearing. You soften building mass by requir mg additional setback. The mass of a 45-foot tall building right at the street is pretty harsh. One £oot additional (setback) for every foot above 35 feet is a good control. It would satisfy those who came to this public hearing.” He said he is also concerned that the zoning ordinance’s standards for special use permits are “vague.” “I agree,” Mayor Dean Morehouse said, “that in some situations some specific standards are in order. If we get one SUP application, we’ll probably get two: one for the height and one for reduction of the setbacks.” Charles Eldred reminded the council that the planners had spent two months considering the amendment and had suggested no alternatives. “As they expressed it, the system ought to be trusted; since it is governed by members of the community and they have to live with the result.” Mr. Wickens suggested the amendment could be modified to allow only a certain percentage of the building to exceed the 35-foot limit. Or, he added, the width of the street frontage of the building could be restricted. “That would eliminate the discrimination (against businesses), but would limit the scale and height to those (buildings) already in town.” His suggested modifications failed for lack of a second. Councilman Peter Skowronski suggested the amendment be limited to new structures, but his motion also failed for lack of a second . The amendment was approved as submitted, with Mr. Wickens, Mayor Morehouse, Ray Gooch and Brad Fisher voting in favor, and Mr. Skowronski against. Councilman Reinhardt Lynch, who is one of the Inn’s owners, disqualified himself from consideration of the application. Councilwoman Evelyn Willis also disqualified herself, though she noted she has an opinion from the Commonwealth’s Attorney that her contract work for the Inn would not pose a conflict in this case. Mayor Morehouse stated his involvement in the LOMP partnership, which also included the Inn’s owners, but said it did not involve a conflict in his consideration of the proposed amendments. In considering the proposed amendment to allow parking for a commercial use in a residential zone by special use permit, providing the two lots are under common ownership, Mr. Dickey pointed out that parking has become a problem in the town. He also noted that language in the town’s comprehensive plan seems to provide for the use. Mr. Wickens replied, as one of the authors of the comprehensive plan, that when it was written the words “special permit” were intended to apply to limited-use parking, as for the town’s Independence Day celebration, and were never meant to apply to a permanent parking lot. “This is a flexibility the town •could well use,” Mr. Dickey said, “ .. . With very careful special use permit restrictions to govern it. . . the conditions should be applied at the time of the permit. We would expect See COUNCIL, p. 18 Carpenter bees more nuisance than threat BLACKSBURG — At first, you notice just a small hole in the wooden rails of your porch, or near the eaves of your roof. A single, large bee — looking much like a bumble bee — enters and leaves the hole periodically. If you’re like most people, the very next thing you do is panic — you’re sure these little insects are drilling their way into hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dollars in damage. What you’ve discovered are carpenter bees, says a Virginia Tech entomologist. But what you won’t discover is that much-dreaded damage. “Of course people see the holes and assume these things are doing a tremendous amount of damage,” said Rick Fell, associate professor of entomology at Virginia Tech and an expert on bees and wasps. “But it’s simply a single turtnel, and inside that tunnel, they raise their young.” W~b~bn innnnnrrrH • The tunnels is perhaps 8-12 inches long and about 3/8 inch in diameter, he said, so it’s unlikely to cause any major structural damage. “I think they’re more of a nuisance than anything else,” Mr. Fell said. “It would have to be something long-term — their coming back to the same area year after year — before you had any sort of serious problem.” Adult female carpenter bees carve out a tunnel-nest in spring although most are also reused. Males can be seen flying around near sites hoping to attract a female. The male bee looks much like a bumble bee, Mr. Fell said, and in this courting stage, he is very territorial. “They’ll attack. They’ll divebomb if you come near them,” he said. “If you throw a little stone up at them, they’ll chase the stone. They’ll chase anything — I’ve seen them chase dogs and birds.” o IdodenTai Luray, Virginia Looking for that Special Place ;Built entirely of logs and nestled on five RIVER FRONT ACRES a ■Listen to the rushing of the Shenandoah River from our front porch" ■and enjoy a SPECTACULAR VIEW of the Massanutten Range while* •you dine on our varied menu. * JOur moderately priced entrees include fresh Catfish, Lamb Shanks l ^Steaks, Prime Rib, Pork Tenderloin and Pan Fried Chicken.

These will complete their development during the summer but do not mate and raise young until the following year. If a few carpenter bees bother you, Mr. Fell said, the time to treat them is before the nest becomes established. If the nest becomes established, you may only kill the adults, leaving the eggs or young unharmed inside the nest. Carbaryl is an insecticide commonly used to kill carpenter bees, he said, and the best time to spray is in late afternoon. “Spray the chemical into the entrance hole and around the general area of the tunnel,” Fell said. “That way, when they come in the evening, they’ll contact the material and you’ll kill them.” Call 675-3338 to subscribe Woodsmoke Cafe Main Street, Sperryville Open Sunday - April 29 5 to 9 p.m« Pizza, chicken, subs Live Music *IIalf Tone Blues* Hours: Friday & Saturday Dinner 6 to 9 p.m. ■= Sunday Brunch 9 to 12 € s Breakfast/Lunch Mon - Fri 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. g 1 703-987-9427 I jniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniK [ FRANZEN BROTHERS CIRCUS coming to Washington Fire Department Grounds y> Tuesday, May 15 ' Show time: 5:30 and 8 PM j Elephants, lions.

Thf Audit W Bureau THURSDAY, APRIL 26,1990 Editorials Not just one issue Washington’s town election next Tuesday is being touted by some as a referendum on the proposed expansion of The Inn at Little Washington. We hope that won’t be the case. Though the Inn’s plans are certainly the most pressing issue facing the council at this time, it too will pass. And, it will likely pass long before the next council’s four-year term expires. We hope that the residents of the town will carefully consider the records and positions of the candidates on a variety of issues, rather than basing their votes on one narrow question. One-issue voting is never a good idea. For the candidates, it distorts their records. And often, it leaves voters wishing they had made a more carefully considered choice. Several of the candidates observed, during interviews conducted last week, that no matter what the resolution of the Inn’s proposal, all the town’s residents still have to live here after it’s over. We think that is wise counsel. Stop child abuse April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The county’s Department of Social Services has conducted an intensive campaign to raise the awareness of county residents about his pervasive and difficult problem. We hope that the message conveyed through their efforts will last long after the annual observance has ended. It is difficult to say whether the actual incidence of child abuse; physical, emotional and sexual, is greater than in past years, or whether a greater awareness has merely caused more people to report suspected cases. Whatever the reason, the statistics are staggering. One of every three women is a victim, and at least one of every seven men (those statistics are probably low, since men tend not to report being the victim of such crimes). It is a national tragedy, which leaves many victims emotionally scarred for ife. We urge anyone who suspects that someone they know is a perpetrator or victim of child abuse to contact the county’s Department of Social Services (675-3313) or the Sheriffs Department (675-3331). Both offices have procedures in place to investigate all such reports. When a child’s welfare is at stake, it is truly better to be safe than sorry. Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Lisa Currie Rappahannock Heritage PLOWING A FIELD with two horsepower, Chris Byrd is using tradition to turn the ground for spring planting at Horseshoe Hollow Farm outside Washington. Letters to the editor Editorial slurred Mr. Lopez lothe editor: After the court ruling in the Lopez case I had thought the matter would be laid to rest. I regret that your intemperate editorial makes that impossible. I write not only as a 1 friend of Mr. Lopez but a journalist of 30 years experience. Everyone I have met who knows Mr. Lopez personally, through work or social contact, considers him to be of uncommonly high moral character — hard working, responsible, honest, modest, soft-spoken and family loving. He is, in short, a gentleman. I could not recognize him in your editorial. Have you ever read Mark Twain, or seen the films of Charley Chaplin, or even watched a Black sit-com on television? There is a common thread running through all of them which is the tribulations of people trying to make their way in a strange language, culture and society. I don’t want to go into the details of the Lopez affair here, except to say that a diligent and fair reporter would have found much that Twain, Chaplin or Cosby would have understood immediately. However, I would like to address the contribution that a newspaper can and ought to make in a small corner of our national society on its way from rural to suburban life-style. I feel a real newspaper would have asked the following questions: How could such a decent man, unfamiliar with our customs, get into such a mess? How might we have been protected before the com Uh^+he packaging industry isn't in Day.T HEY/ LEMME TELL VA! YOU WRAP THIS BABY UP IN CELLOPHANE, STYROFOAM AND PLASTIC And it'll last ®i99oH1KEMAJ3AND IheR&porlef mission of a fault rather than punished for it afterward? With the number of Hispanic people coming into the county to do valued work, should we review the services available so that they might at least get some advice in their own language when faced with our bureaucracy? I would have hoped a newspaper might also have asked, in a spirit of wry humor, how our society as a whole measures up to our own moral posturing. Across our country the laws governing humane slaughter of food animals are a farce. The animal decimation of deer, by gun or bow, is a legal sport. In every state the sale of fur coats is legal, and their owners index their superiority by the beauty and rarity of the animals slain. Finally, Where was your moral indignation a few months ago when a property owner shot and killed a neighbor’s dog, covered in your “letters to the editor” only, when that dog was not an unlicensed stray but a loved and clearly tagged housepet? You leave me (and others) no release from the suspicion that the distinction between the two cases lies in the fact that Mr. Lopez is Hispanic. NICHOLAS RAYMOND Flint Hill Donation appreciated To the editor: This wonderful gesture in the form of a donation of $250.00 by Rev. Charles Clindinst and his church, Nethers Mill Lighthouse helps reaffirm my faith in the good will of the people of the Rappahannock community. It is my belief that there are others who will eventually recognize our efforts and will also help to make the Ronnie Pullen Stadium a reality. A beautiful recreational facility for all the family to eryoy. JAMES D. RUSSELL Sperry ville Point missed To the editor: The article, Social Security Reserve Grows, (Rappahannock News, April 5) in which the 1989 annual report of the board of ir^tees of the social security trust fund is given, failed, in my opinion to include the most pertinent point: that by putting the funds into our U.S. Treasury, along with all the revenue our government collects, the money is actually spent of being spent. There is only an IOU in the fund. A kind of sleight of hand, I think, with the benefit of making our budget deficit appear less alarming than it really is. RUTH RICHARDS Sperryville A salute to volunteers To the editor: In proclaiming the week of April 22-28 as National Volunteer Week, President George Bush writes, “it is with great appreciation and pride that I salute the 80 million Americans who serve as volunteers. These individuals have moved us all by the strength of their convictions; they have greatly challenged us through their example of selflessness and concern for others.” As the director of ACTION, the federal domestic volunteer agency, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank our more than 500,000 volunteers for their devoted service to others. ACTION programs include Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), the Student Community Service Program, the ACTION Drug Alliance, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, the Foster Grandparent Program and the Senior Companion Program. Serving nationwide through nearly 2,000 local, non-profit sponsors, ACTION’S volunteers address our country’s greatest challenges —illiteracy, substance abuse, homelessness, hunger, senior health care and problems of at-risk youth, to name but a few. Volunteers supported by the ACTION agency uphold a cherished American tradition, our belief in the ability of the individual to make a difference. The vast achievement of volunteers demonstrates that ours is truly a government of, by and for the people. In recent years, our ACTION programs have been able to expand their service, thanks largely to the tremendous support that they have gained locally from citizens who share a commitment to improving their communities. As President Bush has said many times, “any definition of a successful life must include serving others.” All of us know of such “success stories” in our own communities. During National Volunteer Week, please join me in taking time to say thank you to your local volunteers. They are a vital part of what makes America the greatest nation on earth. JANE A. KENNY Director, ACTION Washington, D.C. Earth Day a success i yj tut cuii/ux . I would like to thank the following organizations and individuals for their help in planning the Earth Day celebration held this past Sunday at the county park: Chris Bird, Bleu Rock Inn, Sarah Brown, John Bums of Goat Hill Farm, Joe Butler, Doug Bywaters and VDOT, Child Care and Learning Center, Lisa Currie, Kevin and Hazel Day, Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Hunt Harris, Helen Holschuh, The Lemon Sisters: Sherry Albrecht, Beth Levick, Carol Lucking and Linda Orfila, The Rappahannock Lions Club, Long Mountain Azalea Nursery, Kathleen Maier, Linda Mallory, Mid-Atlantic Glass, Nina Moore, Betsy Murray, Ed Murray (hayrides), Mountainside Market, Nina and Ernie Coates, Waldron and Sam O’Connor, Project Rainbow, Mr. Peterson, Nol Putnam, RAWL, Rappahannock Cooperative Extension and 4-H, Rappahannock Garden Club, Rappahannock Library and Grace Sims, RLEP, Shaklee (Betty Ebom), Spring Mountain School, Eric Stamer (parking), VABF, Washington Volunteer Fire Department and bcott zhemer (bark mulch). Thank you to all the kids who helped plant the Earth Day tree and to everyone who came and had a good time! I hope I haven’t left anyone out! I would also like to thank everyone who came out and helped cleanup on County Beautification Day this past Saturday. We were rained on again but we still managed to get a few roads spruced up. Thank you to the Inn at Little Washington for sponsoring the beautiful t-shirts which were designed by the Fodderstack Pfess, Giant Foods of Warrenton, VDOT for their continued support and to the Sheriffs Department for the incredible job | they do each year of cleaning up the county’s roadside Utter!

LEE BIRD Washington Alcohol also a drug To the editor: A great deal has been said lately about the US “War on Drugs” but the discussion seldom includes our number-one drug problem which, as hard as it may be for many of us to admit, is alcohol. While no one can deny the catastrophic consequences of illegal drug use, we should not turn our eyes away from the toll exacted by a substance that is both legal and heavily marketed. And what better time than April, Alochol Awareness Month, to examine the impact alochol consumption and abuse have on our community and our country. The Seventh Special Report to the US Congress on Alochol and Health, released in February 1990, contained this startling information: • Although US per capita consumption of alcohol is at its lowest level since 1970, alcohol is used by more Americans than any other drug, including tobacco. Even with the decline, this represents 29.8 gallons (approximately 318 12-oz cans) of beer; 3.0 gallons (77 5 oz. glasses) of wine and 2.1 gallons (179 1.5 oz. drinks of spirits) for each person age 14 and over. • An estimated 10.5 million US adults exhibit some symptoms of alcoholism; an additional 7.2 million abuse alcohol, but do not show symptoms of dependence. • Despite a downward trend in alcohol use by high school seniors — for whom alochol, like marijuana and Consider votes carefully To the editor: During the last several months, f .many people have asked me to con'sider entering my pame on the ballot for Town Council or to consider a “write in.” Although I very much appreciate these requests, I must decline. My family and I have been back in Virginia for not quite seven years and I have served on Council for six of those years. This time has been extremely enjoyable and educational; but, I do not consider a “write in” a proper way to become a candidate. Such a candidate does not have to discuss issues or answer questions — so I must say that I completely disapprove of this method of running for office and will not accept any position if “written in. ” I would, however, like to tell you, my friends, what an honor it has been to serve on the current Town Council. The Town of Washington is indeed fortunate to be served by such intelligent, honorable and unselfish people. I have witnessed almost every one of them cast votes that were for the good of the Town, but not necessarily for the individual’s own interests. The business of the Town has been conducted, in my opinion, for the first time as an efficient small business. This business has become somewhat sophisticated and consumes a great deal of thought and time. The Council has dealt with such issues as the water system, completing final designs for its upgrade, negotiating financing and scheduling work to begin as soon as possible. They have formed boards as mandated by the State, hired a Town Attorney, obtained insurance for Council Members and liability insurance for the Town, installed new street signs, started installing new sidewalks, put out barrels of flowers and wooden benches, developed a source of income to support a more active government, purchased the Library building, obtained a perpetual easement from Avon Hall for the Fourth of July, assumed responsibility with the Washington Volunteer Fire Department for the Fourth of July celebration and substantially increased their support to the fire company. Through the hiring of a full time Town employee, increased attention has been applied to manicuring the Town with the assistance of trustees and people serving community service sentences (these people work for no salary). I believe these are all achievements of which the Town can be proud. With the next election just a few days away, I hope that you will consider just how productive this Council has been. There are, however, many more tasks to be accomplished. Please consider your votes very carefully. To end this letter on a positive note, I would like to thank each of you for your support, criticism, opinions — and most of all for your friendship. I care so very much about you and our Town. Evelyn Willis Washington Potomac Edison offers services to customers April 22-28 is National Consum, ers Week and Potomac Edison marks the occasion by reminding its customers of the many services available to them free of charge, according to information officer . Cyndi Shoop. Customers can contact Potomac Edison representatives to receive valuable information on Energy Assistance Programs, which help customers pay their electric bills during the winter heating season. Customers may also want to sign up for the , Average Payment Plan which levels ■ out payments over 12 months to help make bill paying easier. ■ WRAP, or Weatherization Resi- ’ dential Assistance Program, helps low income customers weatherize their homes. Potomac Edison and local assistance agencies provide funds for this program, which adds such ' energy-saving measures as insulation, water heater jackets, electrical . outlet draft seals, door sweeps and ‘' low flow showerheads. Elderly customers have been assisted by Potomac Edison employees who participate in the Gatekeeper Program. Employees have been trained to use their eyes and ears to identify older people who may be in potential trouble. PE has worked in partnership with local agencies on aging to assist these people. PE also provides special life-support system and third-party notification plans which work toward helping elderly customers with their special needs. Potomac Edison also provides * services for commercial and industrial customers and for builders and electrical contractors. Energy and technical audits can be conducted by customer service representatives and engineers. These surveys of energy use can help cut energy bills and make the business more profitable through the use of new electrotechnologies. Builders rely on Potomac Edison for Miss Utility, a toll-free number that handles requests for locating underground cable and electrical equipment. Potomac Edison also provides free training programs for electrical contractors on updates in the National Electric Code. Schools can use Potomac Edison as a great resource for teaching children about electrical safety and how electricity is made and distributed. Films, videos, educational literature and classroom speakers are all resources that teachers can use at no charge. “Our speakers bureau members are also available for service organizations and other group meetings. Speakers can present a variety of programs to fit a variety of needs,” Ms. Shoop said. Potomac Edison has also extended its hours to provide greater service to all customers. Customer Service representatives are now available from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. And the utility recently added a toll-free telephone number: 1 (800) 654-3317. cocaine, is an illegal drug — during the past decade, they still use alcohol at disturbingly high rates: in 1988, 92 percent had tried alcohol, nearly two-thirds were current drinkers and more than one-third were occasional heavy drinkers. • Nearly half of all deaths from motor vehicle crashes are related to alcohol. It has been estimated that the risk of a fatal crash per mile driven is at least eight times higher for a drunk driver (and the person he hits) than a sober one. • It is estimated that 25 percent of all hospitalized personals have alcohol-related problems. • Fetal exposure to alcohol is one of the leading known causes of mental retardation in the western world; treatment costs associated with such exposure total nearly one-third of a billion dollars annually. • The damaging effects to offspring of maternal drinking during pregnancy are longlasting. Although a follow-up study of fetal alcohol syndrome cases showed some im provement, learning deficiencies persisted. • Untreated alcoholics and their families have higher general health care costs than non-alcoholics and their families. These costs tend to decrease following alcoholism treatment. The next time your readers drink to somebody’s health, I hope that they will remember a few of these facts. Only when Virginia begins to re-evaluate its attitudes about alcohol and put this legal drug into proper perspective can we expect to make any progress in treating the epidemic of addiction now destroying the very fabric of our society. Treatment: early treatment, late treatment, treatment that is welcomed and treatment that is fought, all have one thing in common for addiction. It works. It can stop the addiction and return a full human being back to his family. LINDA MARSHALL-MOF FETT Executive Director Primavera Culpeper Environmental fanatics? To the editor: Concerns about the environment have cost Americans tens of billions of dollars and led to a marked reduction in our nation’ competitive position in world markets. Not satisfied with an array of taxes, regulations and controls they have spawned, environmental lobbyists geared up for another assault on America’s producers with their Earth Day 1990, April 22nd. Yet a growing number of scientific authorities now feel that many of the environmental claims are unsubstantiated hokum. Concern about pollution and other threats to the environment is shared by all thinking Americans, but the demands of doomsday environmentalists would have us give up personal and national freedom to address highly speculative theories. This would be both foolish and dan gerous. While environmentalist call for national and international controls to combat the frightening scenarios they repeatedly paint, many supposed threats, such as those involving ozone depletion, radon, acid rain, asbestos, and Alar have never been based on credible evidence. The propanganda is so intense that President Bush has succumbed. When he proclaimed April 22nd to be Earth Day 1990, the President suggested “the formation of an international alliance that responds to global environmental concerns.” This indicates a willingness to transfer the sovereignty of our nation to some international organization such as the UN. This is more frightening than any environmentalist’s wild suggestion.

Of these, 35 were pre-school children and the others were first through third grades. This was 78 percent of the children eligible. A make-up clinic will in all probability be held at a later date which will be announced. This will include those who were eligible but could not participate because of conflicting inoculations, illness, etc. 15 YEARS AGO May 1, 1975 The Town of Washington, the county seat of Rappahannock County, has been designated as a historic district by the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission. Washington, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is officially described as “a well-preserved nineteenth century courthouse town with a fine collection of public, commercial and domestic architecture typical of the region.” Its significance stretches beyond the founding of Rappahannock County, in 1833. Miller Hall, a new science complex named for former Madison College President G. Tyler Miller, was dedicated at the college last Saturday. Dr. Miller, a native of Washington, is a former principal of the old Washington High School and a former superintendent of schools for Rappahannock and Warren Counties. 10 YEARSAGO April 24, 1980 Dr. Werner Krebser of Huntly recently completed continuing education requirements to retain active membership in the American Academy of Family Physicians, the national association of family doctors. 5 YEARSAGO April 25, 1985 Magistrates for Rappahannock County were appointed on April 1 by the chief circuit court judge to serve for four years.

Pendelton Promise Land Baptist THE LOST SHEEP The Lost Sheep represents the sinner as departed - from God, and is in danger of being lost forever, if not brought back to Him. The parable of the prodigal Son shows the nature of repentance. In St. Luke Chapter 15 - verses 11 and 12 tells of a man that had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. Verses 13 through 19 tells some of the things that can happen to us, being lost from God, and also what to do about it, when God opens the eyes of the sinner, and convinces him of sin, and gives him the sight to see his lost condition. He must have a willing disire to make a change. The sinner must humble himself, and ask God to free him from the bondage of Satan, and let repentance come from the heart, and not just from the lips. Everyone needs God to give you strength and courage to live the life is pleasing to Him. He will receive you, and forgive you, and you will feel joy and happiness like never before. May God bless and keep you in spirit and in truth. F.T.

ERICKSON Rawahannock Neva Contributing Writer Earth Day 1990 has come and gone, and it is already yielding tremendous benefits. The 20th anniversary of the original Earth Day, which was observed on Sunday, April 22, has mobilized thousands of people from all walks of life all across America. These people worked long and hard to ensure the success of the many and varied Earth Day events. They have translated their concern for the environment into action, in the hopes of motivating others to follow their example, for years to come. The success of Earth Day 1990 should not be measured by the attendance at its many observances alone, but more by a legacy of increased public involvement, and the environmental progress th.it results. In the wake of the first Earth Day, the Clean Air was enacted, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was created and work started, on a Clean Water Act that passed shortly thereafter. As strides were made in correcting the more obvious environmental ills, like sewage and chemical fouled streams and sootdarkened cities, public concern did not wane. Instead, local, state and national environmental and conservation groups grew in numbers and in activism. Their efforts helped to focus attention on lingering environmental problems, such as lagging municipal sewage treatment and summer smog levels in our cities. They were also in the vanguard prompting government response to problems like hazardous waste dumpsites and the effect of acid rain. Earth Day 1990 holds great promise for sustaining and increasing the momentum of the environmental movement at a time when mass public support and action are critically needed. Today environmental concern and action are not just the domain of activists. Now, due in large part to the heavy publicity environmental issues receive, the public-at-large is keenly aware of the fragility of the earth and the stress human activity places on our precious natural resources. The captains of business and industry, too, have come to realize that our environment and our economy are interdependent. The opportunity is now for cooperation, as well as individual initiatives on behalf of our environment. The Earth Day 1990 celebration should serve as a catalyst for action. We all benefit by preventing pollution. Recycling products is becoming a popular way to save money, conserve our natural resources and save dwindling landfill space. Energy conservation is another excellent way not only to save money, but also to reduce air pollution. By cutting the demand for electricity, we reduce emissions from the power plants that generate electricity. Composting yard waste and table scraps provide a rich medium for growing gardens and plants and also saves landfill space. Planting trees not only beautifies an area, but also supplies oxygen to the air. Using mass transit, walking rather than riding, and carpooling will reduce smog, conserve gas and possibly save money in fuel costs and car repairs. Industries must minimize both the amount and toxicity of the waste they produce. They can explore the possibility of reclaiming waste for reuse or resale as a raw material. Find less harmful substitutes for materials already in use in manufacturing. Consider pollution prevention and waste minimization in the design of new manufacturing plants and processes. Use environmentally sound packaging design. And, the costs of these efforts could well be offset by the reduced waste disposal costs. The best thing about the Earth Day 1990 celebration is that it doesn’t have to end when the celebration is over. We should take it with us — back to our homes, schools, work places and communities where we can make a difference.

Getting the jump on fleas By MINNIE HARRISON Raiipahannock New* Contributing Writer Are you ready for the battle? Every year you watch helplessly as fleas torment your pet and drive you to distraction. Besides being downright annoying, the pesky insects can do plenty of harm to your pet, too. Do you feel like giving up? According to a veterinarian for the Petfood Nutrition Research Farm as published in “Cat Companion,” a flea is such a strange little creature. Bom from a cocoon, with a torso compacted as if it had been squeezed together, it is barely bigger than the bead of a pin. Yet, the spring in its powerful legs can propel it up to 100 times its body length — the equivalent of a six-foot man jumping over two football fields laid end to end. On its feet are tiny hooks that allow it to maneuver swiftly amid fur and hair. Its limited agenda calls for it to suck blood, its only source of nourishment as an adult. It can go weeks, even months, between feedings, but it can neither mate nor reproduce until it has had its fill of blood. The Humane Society of the United States says that fleas can vary their egg-to-adult life cycle lime to Landscape Annual Spring jfffx Clearance Sale Every spring we dig trees which are crowded and sell them at bargain prices.

They may also spend as little as 10 percent of their lives on your pet. Put the two together and you will realize that soon after you rid your pet of fleas, more of the little pests will hop onto its fur and you will be back to square one. The solution? Treat the home as well as the animal. Begin with a thorough cleaning of the home, which will eliminate most eggs and adult fleas. Wash all pet bedding in hot, soapy water. Mop hard floors. Vacuum everywhere — carpets, upholstry, draperies, in corners and crevices. Seal the vacuum cleaner bag immediately in a plastic bag. Once you start, don’t give up or you’ll lose ground! Vacuum and clean once a week until you begin to see results. If you have a heavy infestation, apply an environmental insecticide after vacuuming. You can use a fogger “bomb” but a pump spray is better for all but extreme infestations, since it will allow you to apply insecticide only where your pet sleeps and plays. Don’t apply it to your pet! If you decide to use a pesticide, products containing “pyrethrins” are the safest. If they are misused, pesticides can sicken or kill your pet. If you feel you must use a pesticidal product, whether it is a shampoo, dip, spray, powder or collar, always read the label and follow directions. Never use pesticides (including flea collars) on kittens and puppies, or old, sick, pregnant or heartworm-infected animals. And as a rule of thumb, use only one pesticide at a time on your pet. On the same day you first vacuum and clean, shampoo your pet with a non-medicated product or mildly medicated "flea” shampoo to rid the pet of fleas. After that, use a flea comb (available in most pet supply stores) on a daily basis.

For further information call 364-1566 1 mile east of Marshall on Rt 55 stroke to drown fleas. Shampoo the animal periodically according to labeling instructions, and keep grooming daily with the flea comb. You’ll quickly begin to see results. The Humane Society suggests powders or foam sprays for cats; they abhor the hissing of aerosol cans and may lick and ingest more poisons from dips than from other forms. Dips are more commonly used on dogs, but powders and sprays are safer for them, too. Flea collars are convenient, but their effectiveness is questionable. Collars often lose potency in about three weeks, release insecticide unevenly over the pet’s body or cause skin irritations around the neck area. They should not be used in combination with any other pesticidal product, and should be “aired” for a couple of days before being put on a pet. Remember, the Humane Society further says, while insecticides may endanger the health of pets and their owners through misuse, they will not eliminate a flea infestation. Shortly after the animal is bathed, sprayed or dipped, other fleas may hop onto its fur and the problem begins again. That’s why treating the environment to eliminate both developing and adult fleas is so important.

Library adds video section By DIANE GREEN Librarian You wdn’t find Batman or Blaze, but the library does now have a small, selective collection of videos. Video cassettes circulate for three days, and because they are more expensive than books, a fine of 50 cents per day will be charged for overdue cassettes. Since the collection is very small, only one video may be checked out at a time. However, the collection is slowly growing, and thanks to the Rappahannock Woman’s Club, which purchased an attractive video stand for the library, the cassettes are neatly arranged and easy to find. The “Voices and Visions” poetry presentation was a huge success. Jon Heddleston did an outstanding job presenting various authors’ works, as did the students who participated in the final session as authors themselves. Rappahannock County is fortunate to have so many people willing to share their talent. Contributions continue to add up in response to the Friends’ appeal for funds. The response has been so generous for this second appeal that the vision of a new building is very close to reality. The Building Committee has approved the position of the new library on the site, and plans for the building itself are very near to completion. James P. Jamieson, Ruth Richards, Quita Parrish and other active members of the Friends of Rappahannock County Library have done an outstanding job as fund raisers. And, of course, the people who care enough to contribute to the building fund are very important, too. Do you agree, or disagree? Tell the editor what you think! “Letters" P.O.

Cooking to cut calories By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Calories are often added during the cooking process. Few are lost. For people who are trying to lose weight or to maintain a desirable weight, the method of cooking or preparing a food is important in determining its caloric content. Each food contains a certain number of calories. Calories may be added depending on the way it is prepared or by adding a sauce, gravy, dressing or condiment. For example, one serving of potatoes which is equal to a small baked or boiled potato, about one-half cup, contains 60 calories. If that same one-half cup of potatoes is mashed with milk and butter, it contains 90 calories. One-half cup of hashed browned potatoes contains 225 calories; 10 french fries contain 155 calories and 10 medium potato chips contain 115 calories. As you read a recipe you can get a hint of its caloric value by visualizing the texture of the finished product. A food is usually low in calories if it is thin, watery or diluted, bulky or has lots of fiber or coarseness, or is watery-crisp. A food is high in calories if it is greasy or greasy-crisp, thick and smooth, sweet or gooey, compact or concentrated, or alcoholic. To limit the calories when cooking, avoid frying foods and utilize a low-calorie method like steaming, poaching, broiling, grilling, and stirfrying. Steaming — Steam cooking ensures the optimum in natural freshness and flavor because steamed foods retain their shape, texture, and nutrients. It is a popular fat-free method of cooking vegetables. Although specialized appliances are available, an inexpensive metal steamer basket can be used. Place the food in a basket in a saucepan over a shallow layer of boiling water. Cover and steam until tender. Vegetables can also be steamed in the mi crowave oven using a very small amount or^io water. Poaching — Foods traditionally HOME ECONOMICS sauteed and served with a rich buttery sauce can instead be poached in a fat-free liquid. Poaching pans are available for fish or eggs, but standard skillets will accomodate most cooking needs. To poach, place foods in a shallow simmering liquid such as broth, wine or water with lemon, herbs and spices. Cover and simmer until done, being careful not to overcook. Broiling and grilling — Broiling or grilling on an outdoor grill are both calorie-cutting methods since it is not necessary to add butter or oil and since the fats naturally present in foods are left behind in the broiler pah. It is necessary to baste foods lacking natural oils or juices with a liquid such as wine, tomato juice or USDA Choice Beef T-BONE OR ^PORTERHOUSE STEAK SUN. MON. ITUES.I WED. ITHUR. FRI.

Stir-frying — Although not created as a low calorie cuisine, most stirfry dishes consist of a minimum^ of high calorie foods combined with a generous selection of low-calorie vegetables, all cooked in a small amount of oil. The brief cooking time helps food retain its texture, color and flavor. Calorie cutters — When cutting calories in food preparation, cook with fat-free or low-fat dairy products such as skim milk, evaporated skim milk, and non-fat dry milk. Substitute low-fat yogurt for sour cream in dips, beef stroganoff, and as a topping for baked potatoes. Cheeses made from skim milk are, low in fat and high in protein. A sub-, stitute for whipped cream can be, made from non-fat dry milk and ice water (see recipe at end) or by chilling and then whipping a can of evap-, orated skim milk. Use low-fat yogurt in place of mayonnaise when making chicken; salad, tuna salad, macaroni salad and egg salad. Season the yogurt with parsley, dill, chives, grated on-, ion and use as a salad dressing. Refrigerate meat stock or meat drippings. Remove hardened fat.; Use clear broth in soups, vegetable cookery, to make low-fat sauces or. as a poaching liquid. Bouillon cubes may also be used; however for those on reduced-sodium diets, check the, label. Many bouillion cubes are high in sodium. Choose the lean cuts of meat and cut away the visible fat before and* after cooking. USDA good grade of beef has less fat than USDA choice or prime because the meat has less marbling. It costs less too. Broil or bake tender cuts of meat. Braise or stew the less tender cuts. Remove the skin from poultry : before cooking or eating. Attached to the skin are layers of fat. Buy water-packed tuna or rinse, oil-packed tuna with hot water before using. Learn to like vegetables for their, natural flavor and goodness. They* are low in calories. Eat them raw or cooked in a small amount of wateruntil tender. Season very lightly, with lemon juice or with margarine, thinned with lemon juice. Or, cook in, ^frit-ekimmed broth or season with herbs. Prepare lasange with sliced zucchini instead of pasta to cut calories. The bread and ceral group contributes important amounts of B-vitamins, iron and protein to the diet. Therefore, they should not be eliminated. In general, yeast breads are lower in calories than quick breads such as: biscuits, muffins, com-, bread, pancakes, and waffles because the quick breads have a higher percentage of fat like shortening and oil to make them tender. Low-calorie cooking must become second nature if weight loss is to be permanent. The Extension Office has Publication 348-897 on “Lowi Calorie Eating” which is available by calling 675-3619 if you would like additional food preparation information.

Sports and Outdoor Life Youthful Panther ball team struggles at plate By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Despite an 0-8 record, Panther baseball coach Dee Van Horn remains optimistic about his youthful team. The inexperience of his team, the coach said, has led to errors in the field and a lack of success at the plate. But the team is stealing bases like professional bandits, and their selective hitting eyes have enabled several players to earn base on balls consistently. “Once we get on base we’re doing okay,” the coach said. “The team’s got good hustle.” On Monday, the team stole 12 bases, including three times stealing home; twice on passed balls and once on a dropped third strike. “But we’re not scoring runs because we’re not getting hits.” The most runs have been scored on stolen bases, he said again, adding that Justin Ferrence reached first Monday against Strasburg after being hit by a pitch, then stole second, third and finally home plate. “I’m telling them, if we can’t generate hits, let’s run.” The team has 46 successful stolen bases in 50 attempts, a phenomenal 92 percent average. But, the team has committed 40 errors, an average of five per game, and nine against Strasburg alone. “You can’t win games with that,” the coach said.The team’s fielding percentage stands at .778, below the optimum .850-.900. But there are bright spots on the young team. Scott Tummeyer, who Coach Van Horn thought was out for the season with arm problems, has returned to the pitching mound after missing only two games. “He gave the arm complete rest for two weeks, and is taking anti-inflamatory medicine. It responded.” Tummeyer is batting .417, with an on-base percentage of .667. Along with Tummeyer, Philip Daczewitz is hitting .385, and “is a continuing team leader.” Bill Atkins leads the team in hitting, with at .448 average. “The team is learning as it goes,” Coach Van Horn said. Without a junior varsity program, his varsity players often enter their first games without experience since Babe Ruth or Legion ball. “Little League is our training ground. “So many teams in the district have junior varsity programs, and their guys get to the varsity with one or two years’ experience. Our guys learn by hard work.” But even that seeming disadvantage has a bright side, Coach Van Horn said. Even the team’s youngest players get some field time, so they build a base of experience as they get older. “It gives me a nucleus for next year.” And, he said, the team starts every game with the expectation that it will do well. “Yes, we’re in last place, but the fact that we go out and make a good showing every game speaks well for the kids. They do well for awhile, but then break down. That’s the youth and inexperience talking.” And, the coach looks toward the second half of the season. “The teams we get rematches with — we played well against them last time. If things go our way we can win the second time out.” Symposium will focus on Park's resources Shenandoah National Park will host its Twelfth Biennial Symposium on Research and Resource Management on Majr 10 and 11. ’’This gathering of academicians, scientists, resource managers and Others interested in the protection and perpetuation of the Park’s natural resources will meet at the Luray Inn and Conference Center beginning at 8 a.m. on May 10. The theme is “Partners in Preservation.” Papers on various research and resource monitoring projects occurring within the Park will be presented. The Friday evening banquet at the Luray Inn will feature as guest speaker Bernard Caton, deputy secretary of Virginia’s Department of Natural Resources. Park Superintendent Bill Wade said “Partners in Preservation signifies a renewed desire on the part of the staff of Shenandoah National Park to enhance our working relationship with the citizens and govemements of our neighboring communities, and also reflects a general recognition within the National Park Service that solutions to the challenges of the 1990’s will require the combined efforts of Park managers and those that manage the lands around the Park.” Topics to be covered at the Symposium include: the effects of gypsy moths on black bears, watershed acidification, falcon introduction and ozone effects on Park ecosystems. The Symposium is open to the public. Individuals interested in obtaining more detailed information should contact Symposium Coordinator Debbie Sanders at the Shenandoah National Park Natural Resources and Science Office, (703) 999-2243.

Despite record, Coach Leake praises efforts, improvement of softball team By LOU HATTER RaMwhannoek New* SUIT Writer When a high school team’s record swings way to the losing side, it is often hard to see anything postive about the season. That’s not the case for Panther softball coach Renee Leake, who had nothing but praise for the determination of her team, which has struggled through the first third of its season. Despite a 48-10 blowout victory against George Mason on April 10, the Lady Panthers have not won a game since. She admitted there have been many frustrating moments in the games since, with the Panthers consistently out-hitting and committing less errors than their opponents but continually hampered by inconsistent fielding and pitching. Against Clarke County, for example, the Panthers out-hit the Eagles but lost 17-7, mainly due to 24 errors committed by the defense. And against Strasburg, the Panthers dropped a 12-3 lead and lost, 3520. Again, the team out-hit and outfielded the Rams, but were hampered by pitching difficulties. However, Coach Leake said, she believes that the team is turning around and everyting may yet click at once. Despite another loss to Manassas Park, the Panthers rallied from a 14-2 deficit after one inning to end the game 18-8. “During the last half of that game, the pitching was getting more consistent. It just seems like our mistakes are all coming in bad places.” On Monday, against Stonewall Jackson, the Panthers lost 15-7, but Coach Leake said that Karen Payne had her best outing on the mound this year. In the Manasssas Park game, she had control problems, the coach explained, but she worked out of it herself. “Her confidence level grew from that,” she said. And with only two seniors in the starting line-up, Coach Leake said she expected the team would have some rough days. “I see that mistakes are not being made twice — and that’s positive. It means they are learning.” And though the team has been struggling, there have been excellent individual efforts, she said. Tasha Roy has been outstanding at the plate during the last several games, with two triples and one home run. She has gone 8-12 in her last dozen trips to the plate, a .666 batting average. Teammate Sherron Boddie has paced Roy’s effort, contributing two home runs and two doubles in the last three games. In the last two seasons, Coach Leake said, the team’s problem has been at the plate. “This year, we’ve out-hit everybody but Page. But it just doesn’t seem that we can get everything going at once.” In their first appearance against Stonewall Jackson, the coach said, the team racked up 13 errors. On Monday, there were only two. “With only two seniors, and we’re still competitive, I don’t feel it’s a losing season. “All the players have improved, and their dedication is incredible.” The team has practiced every Saturday, and when rain washed out the practice last weekend, the girls insisted on an indoor practice in the high school gym, the coach said. During several games, they were taunted by their opponents, she added, “but showed maturity in not deriding the other teams. They have won a lot of people’s respect. “They may not be winning games,” Mrs. Leake said, “but they are winning in a lot of other areas. And,” she added, “they are going to win games. It will pay off in the long Park begins summer season The Byrd Visitor Center in Shenandoah National Park has been opened for its seven-day-per-week schedule through the summer season. Park Superintendent J.W. Wade said the visitor center at Milepost 51 on the Skyline Drive began its spring/summer schedule on March 2, which is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Saturday. Previously the center was operating on reduced winter schedule of three days per week. The Park also announced the opening of Big Meadows Campground for the season. Other campgrounds will be open in May. Dickey CHECKING BACK TO FIRST, Beth Conover looks for a sign during Monday’s softball game against Stonewall Jackson. Ridge Visitor Center, near Front Royal, is scheduled to open March 23. Park Chief of Interpretation Deanne Adams said that the spring season is one of the best times to visit the Park, with decreased visitations meaning less traffic and a more leisurely opportunity to eryoy the spectacular spring scenery.

Highland School: We Prepare Students For Higher Education. Tips for safe kite flying Kite flying weather has arrived. Now that the days are longer and warmer, children have more time for flying kites and playing outdoors. It is important, however, for children to heed some safety tips when kite flying. Robin Malott, Safety Coordinator for the Potomac Edison Company, says that young people should fly kites in wide, open fields, away from overhead power lines. She warns that if kites accidently get tangled in the lines, children should leave them alone and not try to pull them down. When making kites, it is important for children to remember to use paper and string, not metallic materials that could serve as conductors for electricity. Kites should be flown on sunny days, not in rainy weather, because a wet kite becomes a conductor for electricity during a thunderstorm, adds Ms. Malott. Children should also stay far away from electric power line structures, substations and transformers for underground service; use care when handling ladders or pool-cleaning equipment near overhead lines; and be extra careful not to mix water and electricity. Concerted effort leads to home track meets By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though a visitor to the Rappahannock County High School track several weeks ago would not have thought it possible, the Panthers will apparently be able to host the two home track meets on their schedule. With the cooperation of the Virginia Department of Transportation, contractor Steve Leake and a last-minute volunteer effort, Coach Scott Mellott said the track will be ready for the first, rescheduled meet against Manassas Park on Monday, April 30. Mr. Mellott said that VDOT sent a road grader to the school to level the area where the new parking lot will be located, and while the equipment was there the operator made several passes around the track to level the surface and scrape up the grass which had begun to cover the cinder surface after several years of neglect. Mr. Leake, a construction contractor in Sperryville, used his equipment to haul and dump several loads of new cinders for the track, as well as to spread and pack the new surface. He also scooped out and refilled the high jump pit with fresh sand, also donated by VDOT. Some sand was also used to repair the baseball field, which was left soggy after early spring rains. Mr. Mellott had high praise for VDOT, Mr. Leake, his volunteers and athletic director David Smith, whose persistence led to the track’s refhrbishment. The first home meet was originally scheduled for last Wednesday, but weather forced its postponement until this Monday. It will be a boys team only meet, since Manassas Park does not have a girls team. The coach reported satisfaction with his team’s first two outings, with a first place finish in the season opener against Brentsville, though they finished second against George Mason in their second outing. “I’m very surprised at the success of the boys team,” Mr. Mellott said. Two late starters, exchange student Francisco Vicente and James Roy, have added speed and depth to the team’s effort in the short distance events. Junior Bobby Jenkins has also showed surprising progress in the hurdles, he added. In the field events, Jamie Finchum “is doing really well — I’m pleased with his efforts” in the shot and discus. Unfortunately, Coach Mellott said, the girls team this season is “just too small to be a power.” But he has been encouraged by some individual efforts, including Uli Kleingam’s discus throws. Sara Bartlett, who Coach Mellott had hoped would pace the throwing events, was sidelined with pneumonia and is still recovering. “She’s coming back, but she’s not as strong. ” Matt Eidson, who has been a distance runner in previous years, is running the 400 and 800 meter events. “He is a good athelete and a consistent trainer,” Coach Mellott said, explaining that his distance running experience enables him to excel at the shorter distances. In the district and regional meets, however, Coach Mellott said he expects Eidson to return to the distance races. Given the small size of both the boys and girls teams this season, Coach Mellott pronounced himself satisfied with their showing so far. In addition to the meets already on the schedule, he said, the boys team will travel to Culpeper County High School this Saturday, April 28, for an invitational tri-meet against Warren County, Culpeper and Orange high schools. The home meets on April 30 and May 2 both begin at 4 p.m., and the public is invited to attend and cheer the home team, the coach said. Poison prevention tips mostly common sense While deaths involving all household chemicals and aspirin products have declined steadily since 1972, particularly in light of today’s safety packaging, the number of ingestions or exposures to household medicines and chemicals continues to be high. In fact, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reports that during the past several years, at least 620,000 children under the age of 5 have been exposed to potentially poisonous substances each year. There are now some 104 Poison Control Centers in the United States that maintain information for the public on necessary treatment for the ingestion of household products and medicines. Here are some first aid measures to take if ingestion occurs: • Remain calm. • Call the Blue Ridge Poison Control Center toll-free (800) 451-1428, physician or county rescue dispatch MANNER SECURITY SYSTEMS FBI statistics show that 67% of home Burglaries occur during the daytime hours Monday through Friday.

--—• ' — School 'The Ties That Bihd:' family stories told anew By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s the story of a young man forced to quit school in the third grade and work in coal mine tunnels. It’s the story of the invention of windshield wipers and indoor plumbing and heroes. It’s a story told by a child — a story dramatized by a child — a story cherished by a child. It’s the story that has helped to make the child whole — one with his forefathers and mothers — unified as part of history. All these stories, and others, are part of the upcoming production, “The Ties That Bind,” an original play based on stories of grandparents and elders as told to Rappahannock County students. The production, which will be performed for the public on Saturday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 6 at 2 p.m. in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium, written and directed by playwright and artist-in-residence Catherine Kiley and coordinated by artist Laurie Marshall, has taken months to complete. Beginning last fall, children were asked to interview grandparents, elders and friends that might offer a story. Many stories were collected — only a few can be used in the production; the others Ms. Marshall hopes to save in a book produced with proceeds from the school proudction. Bhannock County n grades 3 to 12, eight scenes — matic production 1 or hand-scribed l a series of quesvork experience, household chores, family food, entertainment, hopes or fears, escapades or adventures, changes or favorites like song, dance or friend. The dramatics of the production are drawn from the children’s interpretations — taught by Ms. Kiley through basic improvisational techniques. The children worked out the exact portrayal of their characters and their story. “It was not always easy,” Ms. Marshall said, adding, “but always worthwhile.” , Using original songs, supplied from Amissville’s Dick Pierson’s extensive library of classic American music, and under the direction of choreographer Jonathan Wolken of Connecticut and playwright Cathe rine Kiley, the children perform a series of dances dramatizing scenes of new shoes, steaks and chops, stormy weather, a hope for peace and others. The project included students from both Rappahannock Elementary and Rappahannock High School: Kenny Giles, Noah Waggener, Matt Kiger, Elise Foster, Wesley Welk, Sarah Gentry, Jack Compton, Alice Gentry, Lauren Sharp, Eliza and Elie Coon, Joshua Swatman, Kelly and Sally Lawler, Amy Longyear, Ariele Foster, Sarah Bartlett, Pam Peyton, Linda Jenkins, Brie Calendrella and Tai Mullan. The broad range of ages, Mrs. Marshall said, gave students a chance to “do something together.” “The stores were not always from grandparents or even their own family,” playwright Ms. Kiley said, adding the story later acts as an “adoption process for the kids as their grandparents or elders becomes a part of their family through the story.” Through stories such as these, children learn to accept and understand new aspects of life, aspects often less dramatic in today’s life where change is common and media — like newspaper, television and radio — able to capture its occurance. New feelings are given perspective — through death, through distance, through time. Emotion is dramatized — and felt — by each child participating. “The children were told the story of Leelo Foster’s sister, who was killed by the Nazis,” Mrs. Marshall said in explanation. They were so touched by the story they cried. “The next day there were asked to repeat the story. They remembered the entire story,” she said, adding “not a detail was missed.” The lesson from each story is shared as children give their message in the final scene, entitlted “And everywhere there was peace” — lessons of learned love, compassion, understanding and heritage. That scene mixes the hopes of both the grandparents and the children, providing different perspectives of the expectations of two generations. The play, Mrs. Marshall said, will also be performed for the students at RCES next Thursday, May 3 and at RCHS on Friday, May 4. Later in the month, the troupe will travel to Warrenton to present the production at Fauquier High School, she added.

Election Continued from page 1 The new council, he said, needs to concentrate on an overall look at the planning process. “We haven’t done an adequate job” of addressing long-range plans. “This is a good time to review and revise the Comprehensive Plan, and set out specific goals to control future growth.” Some growth in and around the town is inevitable, he said. “Let’s don’t promote it — but let’s also not restrict it to the point of taking away private property rights. Controls are the key.” Mr. Morehouse promised to continue an “open door” policy with the town’s residents. “If you’ve got a problem, come and talk to me about it.” He called the present council “active, and I’m proud to be part of it. The new council needs to continue to act. It might create controversy, but the public input is important.” Addressing questions raised about his residency following the move of his wife and daughter to Florida, Mr. Morehouse emphatically stated that he still considers himself a resident of Washington. “I’m just as much a resident as other council members who work elsewhere. My business takes me to six states, but I have a regular schedule which brings me back here.” Brad R. Fisher Mr. Fisher, now the town treasurer and head of its water authority, has been a member of the council since 1978. He has no opposition for another term as treasurer. “The most important thing,” he said, “is to maintain a working, living town integrated into a historic site. The town is more than a museum — it is home for 250 people. It is a place of business for scores of people, and it is the county seat.” The council, he said, “has to take each of those factors into consideration each time it makes a decision. It is important to have people on the council who understand all those considerations, and can blend them together. That’s what I try to do.” Both the town and county’s comprehensive plans, he said, specifically state that growth will be allowed to occur around the villages. The key, he said, is to balance the legitimate needs for growth with the best interests of the town’s residents, while also preserving the heritage and history of the town. He believes that the Inn’s plans for expansion will require compromise on both sides. “Everybody can’t have their way. It’s unfair to expect a business not to grow; and it’s unfair of a business to expect the town to completely change its environment to suit them.” However, he cautioned against allowing that issue to overshadow the election. “I don’t think it’s healthy for people in town to dwell on that issue. Ther are so many other important issues facing the town that it isn’t right to get too caught up in that.” Water, he said, is his biggest concern. With the town’s system in violation of state Health Depart ment regulations, Mr. Fisher said he sees installation of a new chlorination system as the first priority. With the money now on hand, he said, the town’s newest well can be fully connected into the system and the chlorination equipment can be installed. And, he added, the final design plans for the distribution system have been submitted to the Health Department for approval. Mark A. Bailey Mr. Bailey now serves on the town’s Planning Commission, and is seeking election to the council for the first time. The most important thing, he said, “is for members of the council to represent the people rather than their own interests. I would like to be the type of council member who represents his constituents.” Now, he said, he feels that the voices of some residents are not being heard. “Maybe it’s because they’re not being asked ... If anyone has got a gripe or complaint, call me,” he said, “and you will get some understanding and hopefully some action.” Important issues, he said, include the continuing problem of helicopters landing in town bringing visitors to the Inn. “I would like to see that matter resolved —it’s been up in the air for a couple of years. ” The Inn’s proposed expansion, he said, is another important question which will face the new council. “Hopefully, we can reach some type of compromise so that everyone will be happy. I don’t think the town wants the proposed addition — I certainly don’t want the proposed addition.” (emphasis Mr. Bailey’s) cut ne is not optimistic, he added. Those who expect a compromise solution, he said, are being “idealistic and unrealistic. I think anything less than what they plan is going to be a disappointment. But I don’t see how the town can accept the proposal they have put forth.” His biggest question, Mr. Bailey said, is what happens after the Inn? “When they retire, look what the town would be left with. There is no question about their integrity — whatever they do will be done well. “But after they are gone, what will happen to that big building? There might come a time when we beg anyone to come in because the building is deteriorating ... It frightens me to death.” Parking remains a problem for the town, he said, but he still opposes parking lots in residential areas. He likes the idea of regulating such uses with a special use permit, he added, but only if a time limit could be attached for review, allowing revocation of the permit if neighbors object. “But we would find ourselves in court losing if we tried to do something like that.” The town should develop additional sources of revenue, he suggested. The money produced by the meals and lodging tax, Mr. Bailey said, is dependable only as a temporary source. “It might be here this year, and next year, but we can’t depend on it for years. I just don’t believe that we should give the town away for greed. What happens when the judgement day comes and we don’t have the money?” he asked. LAMINATING • DECORATIVE MATS » CONSERVATION Eg.

GIFTS Charles J. Eldred Mr. Eldred has been a member of the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals since 1985. “My candidacy is basically one of moderation,” he said. “Some are single-issue oriented, but I’m in it for the long haul. After all, it is a fouryear term. “I stand,” he said, “for representation of all factions of the residents of the town, as opposed to representation of the interests of a few.” The new council, Mr. Eldred said, should steer the town in a direction so that “we can keep it a place where all people can live and enjoy life . . . there are many things which, if handled wrongly, could drive average people out.” He advocates the involvement of as many residents as possible in the town’s government. TTie “mystique” created in the past about town government drove people away, Mr. Eldred said. “The more involvement by people the better. The result will be for everyone to help maintain a town suited for all. We can’t keep it suited for all if we don’t hear from everyone — and the best way to do that is to make it comfortable for everyone to speak.” . Whoever is elected, he said, has a hard act to follow. “The current council has been an exceptionally good one. On balance, its handling of issues has been of benefit to the town. The new council will be hardpressed to match its record.” Raymond L. Gooch Mr. Gooch was appointed to the council two years ago to fill a vacancy, and has served as its secretary since. He pointed to the practice of keeping detailed minutes, as well as publishing an agenda before the meeting, as two accomplishments of which he is proud. “We now have a reliable source of legislative history” for future councils to consult, he said. The next council, he suggested, needs to begin a detailed review of all the town’s ordinances, “from front to back.” He pointed out there are parts of the proposed subdivision ordinance which do not comply with the Code of Virginia and its administrative regulations. “We are seeing in the current applications” from the Inn, he said, “how important the language of the ordinance is — as well as the importance of the Comprehensive Plan in interpreting and administering the ordinances toward applications.” In comparison with previous applications, he said, “we are working much better . . . looking much harder ... at the ordinances. Unfortunately, that has brought problems to light. I hope that the next council will look at all the ordinances as well as the Comprehensive Plan.” The council, he added, “needs to play a much more involved role in ordinance drafting. I don’t mean to cast stones at the Planning Commission, but we need to give them more direction about what we want.” He said he hopes that the recent applications have given the town’s residents a new appreciation for the controls offered by the town’s ordinances, particularly the Historic District Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. “It’s good, it’s positive.” Focusing on the election, Mr. Gooch stated, “I do not want the election to become a referendum on the applications from the Inn. I want it to be a referendum on town gov eminent. No matter what happens, we all have to live here. ” Reinhardt Lynch Mr. Lynch is seeking his first term as an elected member of the council. He was appointed to fill a vacancy last year after serving on the Planning Commission for a year. He prefaced his remarks by noting that his position as both a council member and one of the Inn’s owners, with several applications pending before the council, makes it impossible for him to comment on issues directly affecting the Inn. Mr. Lynch said that he hopes the town’s residents will become more aware of the amount of money now available to the town, and take more of an interest in how it is spent. Four years ago, he noted, the town budget was about $15,000. Now, he said, it is nearly $100,000, boosted by about $65,000 each year from the 21/2 percent food and lodging tax. Though the exact figures are confidential, the Inn contributes the bulk of that revenue. don’t think that the people realize how much money the town has now... I want to see a conservative use of this money. We have to be very careful about how it is spent, and what it is spent for. It is a tremendous responsibility to administer that money.” He suggested that the town’s residents should look at it as a savings of $700 to $800 per household — the amount of property tax each homeowner would pay to raise an equivalent amount of money. “If you had to write a check each year, think of how it should be spent. What would you do for the further benefit of the community?” he asked. “They should think of it as tax money — public money — regardless of where it comes from. The council is the trustee of that money, to spend it in the public interest.” With his business experience, Mr. Lynch continued, he knows that budgets must be watched continually. “It’s a constant process, watching where the money goes, and how it is spent. I hope that people become more concerned and aware of that in the future.” Of his service on the present council, Mr. Lynch had praise for the other members. “They have taken politics and government in town in a new direction, a good direction. People feel better, and are more interested - as evidenced by their attendance at meetings, and their participation. ” J. Newbill Miller Mr. Miller, a former mayor, council member, and member of both the county’s Board of Supervisors and its Planning Commission, came out of retirement from government service to run for a seat on the town council. “The last thing I wanted to do was to run for government again,” he said. “But a large number of people encouraged me to (run). I just want to see that the wishes of a majority of town residents is carried out. I don’t think that is being done now. “I want to see people treated equally,” Mr. Miller continued, “with no favoritism to anybody. And I want to make sure it happens before anybody has to point it out.” The Inn’s expansion will be an issue for the next council, he said, “if the present council doesn’t rush pell mell to get it done.” More thought is needed, he said, and no decisions should yet be made on the current application for a rezoning. “The winds of compromise are blowing, but there is nothing on the table.” Adding that he has heard rumors that the rezoning might be scaled back to include only the property fronting on Main St., Mr. Miller added, if the application is changed it should be referred back to the Planning Comihission for another public hearing. “It needs to be discussed with the people, and laid out in public before a decision. If they want to do it, then do it.” Janice S. Moffett Mrs. Moffett is running for the town council for the first time. She said she feels that the town is at a “pivotal point,” and she decided to run for the council because, “as a person who lives in town, I would like to be in on the decisibn-making. ” But serving as a representative of the people requires putting aside personal feelings too, she added. “It’s easy to get caught up in your own strong feelings and lose sight of what the people want.” Mrs. Moffett said she likes the feeling of Washington, “living in a small place, a nice place for kids to grow up. I can walk to the courthouse at night for a meeting and not worry. “It’s a friendly place, and I’d like it to stay that way.” She said that she hopes to get to know more town residents better, so that they will feel comfortable expressing their opinions about issues facing the town. “There’s not anyone who doesn’t have a strong opinion — and I would like them to share it so I can represent their opinion . . . not just my opinion, but what they want.” Arthur M. Neufeld Mr. Neufeld, who now serves on the Planning Commission, is seeking his first term on the council. He sees “growth, and the regulation of growth” in and around the town as the biggest issue facing the council in the future. “I’m not against all expansion and growth, but I would like to see regulation and control. “It should be done,” he added, “with the benefit of the town in mind, and with concern about how it affects both the town and the county.” He said he also wants to see the completion of the overhaul of the town’s water system. “I like the town pretty much as it is,” he said. “I want to see what is best for the town overall, see what the people, the residents want to do. If development has to occur, small or large, I would like to see it regulated with the benefit of the town and its residents in mind.” Susan M. Parrish Mrs. Parrish is also a member of the town’s Planning Commission, seeking her first term on the council. “Public service and volunteerism is something everybody ought to be involved in in some way. I’m interested in town government, and being on the Planning Commission for three years has given me a good background.” On the issue of the Inn’s expansion, she said, “I would like to see a compromise. Growth has to be measured, and their proposed plan is just too big.” Mrs. Parrish said she feels that water will continue to be an important issue, but that she needs to learn more about the town’s situa SPRING SALE SAVE 30 - 50% AND MORE Hurry in now to Country Home Furniture's SPRING SALE and save on the latest in Home furnishings.

I want to find out more.” A public sewer, she said, “should be delayed if possible, but not if it’s hurting the environment.” And, Mrs. Parrish said, she advocates ethics in government — not by ordinance, but by example. “I would like people to lay their cards on the table — to do what they say they’re going to to, with no hidden agendas — honest and above board.” William E. Wickens Mr. Wickens has been a member of the Town Council since 1984, and a member of the Planning Commission since it was formed in 1985. He has served as its chairman since 1986. “The principal issue is whether we are going to preserve Washington as a town with a delightful balance between business and residential; with scale and open space which we treasure so much — or whether its character will change so much tha the quality of life which attracted us to the town will no longer be here. “We have,” he continued, “what many parts of Virginia have lost — and I hope we can retain it.” The key, Mr. Wickens said, is the balance between residential and commercial uses within the town. “Middleburg and New Market, Maryland have been eaten up by commercial sprawl — with everybody selling antiques from their front porches.” Washington, however, continues to be “a living, breathing town; a neighborhood where people actually live. “Everything I have done,” he said, “helping to draft the zoning ordinance and Comprehensive Plan the meals and lodging tax, have helped contribute to this.” Some people, Mr. Wickens continued, “say I don’t want progress. But to me Sterling Park is not progress. There is a fight to keep towns like The Plains and Waterford. We are part of that — and we are ahead of the curve. “There is something about a small community. You sometimes put the good of the community above your own interests. Most of us do that. It’s dying out in America. I hope we can save it — I think we can.” As for the Inn, Mr. Wickens said, “it is a major issue, but it is not a matter of pro- or anti-inn. That is not the question.” The council, he said, now has up to one year to act on the rezoning application. “It shouldn’t be hustled through.” Planners Continued from page 1 his presentation. He did submit a slope analysis of the property showing that 39.2 acres of his approximately 138 acres was in slopes of 25 percent or greater. Applying the density reduction formula results in 110.5 acres, which allows for four, not five lots on the property, Mr. McCarthy reported. The planners then briefly reconsidered the proposed Planned Unit Residential Development (PURD) ordinance, but took no action. Two members said they had had second thoughts about their opposition to the idea. “Maybe it could be an option,” Jackson District representative David Fannon said. “The Board of Supervisors might have the option to require clustering in certain cases.” “What I like about it is having the easement fixed,” StonewallHawthom District representative Sharon Pierce said. Under “zoning matters” County Administrator John McCarthy told the planners that a bill introduced in last year’s General Assembly that would make it illegal to use the special exception process to limit growth, which had been held over for the 1991 General Assembly, had been referred to a study commission that was also studying Transfer of Development Rights proposals and provisions for adequate public facilities. All other bills having to do with land use that were held over have also been turned over to that commission, Mr. McCarthy said. The Northern Virginia Homebuilders Association has two representatives on the commission, including John T. “Til” Hazel, he added. “The commission will be hearing all this testimony about the abuse of the special exception process,” he said. The planners recommended that the Board of Supervisors communicate with the commission about the county’s use of the special exception process. Planning Commission Chairman Allen Stokes asked if the county could regulate materials used in double-wide trailers, which are now allowed in agriculture zones as a result of a bill passed by the General Assembly. Mr. McCarthy said any such regulations would have to apply to any housing in agricultural zones. “These trailers are just fire traps,” Mr. Stokes said.

Box 59 Washington. Va. 22747 Budget Continued from page 1 $100,000 cut out of salaries. He said that he is also looking at ways to save money by cutting program costs. He said that he had asked principals at both schools to look at ways to cut that part of the budget without eliminating any programs. One possibility, he said, might be a reduction in staff through attrition. Some classes at the elementary school might be larger with fewer sections. Also at the high school fewer sections might be offered in some courses making classes larger. He said the administration might also consider, when hiring replacement teachers for those who have resigned, making some of the positions part time rather than full time. “We are hoping we will not be faced with the deletion of any program,” he said. At Monday’s work session Dr. Gangel said that each one percent cut in salaries would save the county $36,796. This figure includes salaries and fringe benefits except for health insurance. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he felt the school system might give a greater benefit to its employees by trying to fund 100 percent of a single subscriber’s health insurance premium, rather than granting a six percent salary increase. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell points out that an increase in health insurance benefits wouldn’t benefit all employees, since only about half the employees participate in the insurance program. County Administrator John McCarthy suggested that probably all would join if the county was paying 100 percent of a single subscriber’s premium. He said that paying for health insurance was one benefit for county employees that had helped boost morale, since for most employees Rappahannock’s salaries are not competitive with those in surrounding counties. “I think for now we should focus as far as we can on salaries,” Dr. Gangel said. “I’d rather see what money we have go to salaries.” Mr. McCarthy suggested that next year the school administration should look at funding 100 percent of a single subscriber’s premium. School Board Chairwoman Beverly Massie said, “But next year will be catch up time again. We haven’t put in this budget some of the things we should have put in. Next year we will have to put in money for the roof over the auditorium and for redoing the last lab at the high school.” One area Dr. Gangel said he feels he might be able to cut is the $15,000 allocation for moving the fuel oil storage tank at the elementary school above ground. He said he had decided to recommend this move because he couldn’t find anyone willing to insure the county against leaks when he believed that the county would be liable for up to $1 million in damages. He said he has since heard that perhaps the county would only be liable for up to $200,000 and the state would assume the rest of the $1 million liability for fuel oil tanks, but he still had not been able to get any quotes from insurance companies. He said that not counting insurance it would cost at least $700 just to get the tank checked to see if it is now leaking. Mrs. Massie said that as far as she knew the tank had been buried since the school was first built, more than 20 years ago. “This is an unknown quantity,” Mr. Gilkey said. “There are only two places in the United States that are receiving contaminated soil; one’s in North Carolina,” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. “It might be wise to budget for several years to put it in a vault.” Mrs. Massie commented, “It would be so nice to come to this board and just talk about money for educational purposes. We’ve been caught up by insurance, asbestos, roofs, and now this.” “You have a lot to be proud of, Madam Chairman,” Mr. Estes said. “I’ve seen a tremendous improvement over the last six or seven years.” “I’d like to talk about instruction,” Dr. Gangel said. “Last year we boosted math scores; this year we’ve targeted reading. We’ve had a tremendous partnership with Potomac Edison, and we have innovative programs, particularly at the elementary school in the use of computers. We’re exploring offering a master’s degree program for teachers in cooperation with Shenandoah College. We have a highly motivated staff, and we’re looking to improve morale in other areas, transportation and custodial services.” “Industry has helped us with a quarter of a million dollars worth of computer equipment,” Mrs. Massie said. “The schools will have to look more and more to industry. They’re looking for ways to make the tax situation better for their companies. Right after the environment, education should be out there with their hands held high.” The supervisors wanted to know what Dr. Gangel thought about the decision by the Highland County Board of Supervisors to sue the state in a disagreement over the state funding formula, which was developed by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee. Dr. Gangel said he and Mr. Chappell had attended a meeting on the subject. “They maintain that the new JLARC formula has increased the disparity between schools,” he said. “I fundamentally agree with them. The funding formula is unfair. It looks primarily at real estate. But the makeup of the group is not one I would say let’s go with them. They want to sue right now. I think the best way is to threaten to sue. That puts pressure on the governor’s commission that is looking into equity in education now. “Across the nation where states have been sued, it has produced a worse outcome,” he continued. “School systems have been levelled down, rather than up.” “That county is similar to ours,” Mr. Chappell said. “They have had large increases in real estate values.” “That situation is only going to get worse, with the urban counties’ dominance in the General Assembly,” Mr. McCarthy added. On Tuesday Dr. Gangel said he had asked the state for information on how much more money the county would receive from the state if average daily membership next year is 921, as it was this year rather than the 904 used to make up the budget. “It was less than $25,000,” he said. “Some of our loss of funds from the state is due to declining ADM, but much more of it is due to . the formula.” He said that this was the second year of phasing in the new JLARC formula, and that the process would continue for “several more years.” As Monday’s work session was winding down, Dr. Gangel tried to get more indication of the supervfsors intentions for the school budtet. “You mentioned a $100,000 figure,” he started. “State funding is down for the Health Department too,” Mr. McCarthy said. “The county will have to pick that up. The jail and things like that are hitting us. One hundred thousand dollars represents three cents on the tax rate.” “I would hate to put Dr. Gangel through the endless hours to revamp this and make a $100,000 cut, and find that it’s going to be cut more,” Mrs. Massie said. Mr. Gilkey suggested he not make any decisions on cutting the budget until after the public hearing on the school budget next Monday at the high school auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Mathews Arm closed for season Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Bill Wade announced recently that Mathews Arm Campground will not open for the 1990 visitor season. Superintendent Wade said that several factors contributed to the decision. “Funding limitations this year preclude us from providing full visitor services. Rather than spread the effects of the limitations over a number of activities, we decided to concentrate on one area. We focused on Mathews Arm because of the other contributing factors. We need to reduce the interference with the completion of a new registration station at the campground, and we need to do extensive tree work in the campground because of gypsy moth damage. Mathews Arm campground is located in the North District of Shen andoah National Park. It contains 186 campsites, 146 of which are tent or trailer sites. Shenandoah National Park contains 709 total campsites, and those wishing to camp still will be able to find alternate sites either within the Park’s other developed campgrounds at Big Meadows, Lewis Mountain or Loft Mountain, or at the many privately owned camping areas near the Park. In addition, the U.S. Forest Service operates a number of campgrounds in the region. Also, a possibility for some, will be camping in the backcountry. Backcountry permits and regulations can be picked up at any entrance station. Superintendent Wade said, “I expect this to be a temporary closure, affecting this season only. We believe the construction and restoration will be completed, and the funds available to offer normal visitor services in 1991.” £4 SP'*■ > • r.u*.

Council Continued from page 3 it to be reviewed carefully.” Addressing the Inn’s particular application, Mr. Dickey added, is not appropriate. “Whether my client should get a permit is a question for another day.” Mr. Reynolds pointed to the ordinance’s standards for granting a special use permit, and questioned whether the amendment violates the intent that a use be compatible with the surrounding properties, as well as the Comprehensive Plan’s goal which states that a commercial use in a residential area not encourage the conversion of residential areas to commercial uses. Mr. Miller also questioned the amendment’s conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. “How in the world can you say that a 40-car parking lot will not affect a residential neighborhood?” “It is the responsibility of town government,” planner Mark Bailey added, “to protect residential areas . . . There is no way to argue that property values will not be adversely affected. People should be protected by the zoning ordinance.” The members of council offered no comment on the proposed amendment, and it was denied by a unanimous vote of the five members participating. The council also approved a zon ing ordinance amendment to allow package sewage treatment plants on existing lots where traditional septic and drainfield systems have failed. The proposed subdivision ordinance includes a similar provision for new lots, but there is no provision in the zoning ordinance. “It would be irresponsible of us not to pass something before we have a crisis,” Mr. Wickens said. “. . . we need to give people an option so they don’t put their sewage on the curb for the town to recycle,” he added, facetiously. Mr. Miller said he has no problem with using the package plants as an option for lots where existing systems have failed, “but there should be a check. They should not be allowed if an intensification of use caused the problem.” He also questioned the long-term effectiveness of such systems. “(Sanitarian) Jack Lockhart told me they work for a few years and then they fail.” Camille Harris, who had requested the amendment, pointed out that malfunctioning drainfields can also exist for some time before they become obvious. “This is our only alternative to protect the environment and public health.” Mr. Eldred suggested that any ordinance should be kept vague as to the types of systems allowed, since the technology is changing rapidly. “There is a lot going on which holds a great deal of promise for the future.” Mr. Skowronski said he favored the amendment provided a stiff mon itoring requirement is included. “If it fails, it has to be addressed immediately.” With additions to the proposed language which provide that any special use permit issued for a package plant must include monitoring and maintenance standards, that the plant meet any further restrictions in health department standards enacted after its installation, and that the town have the power to turn down any specific proposal it does not feel is appropriate, even if it meets Health Department specifications, the amendment was approved unanimously by the seven-member council. In other business, the council: • voted not to vacate one of the LOMP subdivision lots. The vaca tion was advertised after it was discovered that part of the parcel is in the county rather than the town, and that acreage cannot be counted toward the amount necessary to subdivide the lots. Instead of the vacation, the council decided to ask the county if it would approve another attempt at a boundary adjustment agreement to allow anyone with a so-called “straddle lot” to move their property into the town.
