Shouts of 'Play ball!' resound across Amissville's Stuart Field The 1990 Babe Ruth Little League season officially got underway Monday evening following the dedication of the newly completed Stuart Field in Amissville. ^■‘TftrMghnghref the' pi-hgthm was * the presentation of roses to Mrs. L.B. Stuart, who along with her late husband, Capt. L.B. Stuart, donated the land on which to construct the field. Following the dedication, Mrs. Stuart threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Kevin Jolliffe, the Mets’ starting catcher. Capt. and Mrs. Stuart originally donated the land for use as an area where Little League baseball fields could be built and used by the youth of the community. This farsighted contribution, according to an official of the county’s Rappahannock Athletic Association, “made it possible for the original Amissville Little League to have a home.” This ylar, the old Amissville Little League merged with the Rappahannock Little League to form the Rappahannock Athletic Association. The two old leagues are divided into the Western and Eastern Divisions, with a total of more than 200 youngsters playing on 18 different teams in four age brackets. In his comments at the dedication, League President A1 Kellert noted that none of this development and success would have been possible without thededication and tireless energy /Exerted by so many volunteers throughout the commuk See BASEBALL, p. 14 still on hold By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The planned four-laning of U.S. 211 between Wash-: ington and Sperryville is on hold, at least temporarily. The first phase of construction, from the end of the current four-lane section to the Covington River bridge was scheduled to be advertised for bids in April. At press time there was no new date for advertising for this section of road. The chief problem seems to be acquiring the right-ofway through the location of the current B and B Service Center. Tests indicate that there is contiminated soil on the property. Resident Engineer Robert Moore said that if all the problems are cleared away soon, the project could be advertised at the end of June, but as time passes “July looks more likely.” Although Mike and Judy Brown, who own B and B, are not happy with the price they have been offered for the property, road construction could proceed while that is being resolved in the courts. However, the Virginia Department of Transportation does not want to take ownership of the property until something is resolved about removing the contaminated soil. A study by students at Old Dominion University in 1989 first picked up the potential problem of contamination in the soil. As a result Quarles Oil, which supplies gasoline to the station, commissioned a more thorough study by Environment Technology Inc. of Richmond. The report was sent to the State Water Control Board. Mike Cason, manager of Quarles Oil, said that wells at nearby houses were tested and no contamination found. “The water table is very high there,” he said. Groundwater near the underground tanks was tested and “very little contamination was in that. It looks like everything is satisfactory. It hasn’t migrated. There is a small area just where the tanks are. Maybe it is just spillage.” Mr. Cason said the tanks had been tested and were not leaking. “Our inventory record shows no loss of product there,” he said. Once some sort of agreement is reached with the highway department, he said, Quarles Oil will remove the tanks and the contaminated soil. Mr. Moore said, “We’re waiting on the SWCB for some final decision on whether the contaminated soil problem has been solved. This is the only property that is holding up the advertisement.” Frank Edens, a spokesman for the right-of-way acquisition office in Culpeper agreed. Everything is cleared with us,” he said. “We’ve negotiated with all the property owners and have reported to Richmond for their action.” He said the department would be able to advertise for the project once certificates for all the properties have been filed in the courthouse. “Once the certificate has been filed, it gives us the right of entry on to the property.” He was not certain if all the certificates had been filed, but See FOUR LANE, p. 14 \ After concentrated effort, RCES reading skills jump By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer School Superintendent David Gangel is fairly bursting with pride over the improvement in reading scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills at the element^-y school this year. Indeed, there is reason for his pride as scores in reading vocabulary improved more than six percentage points and those in reading comprehension improved about 7.5 percentage points. Unfortunately this success was not equaled at the high school where scores in reading vocabulary and comprehension each dropped four percentage points. Nevertheless, for the school system as a whole there was a gain of six percentage points in vocabulary and 5.4 in reading comprehension. This is the third year that the ITBS has been used for standardized testing at the schools. At the end of the first year, Dr. Gangel, who was also in his first year, took a look at the scores and decided that math scores were most in need of improvement. During the 1988-89 school year mathematics was emphasized at all grade levels and math scores improved dramatically from 57.3 to 62.7 at the elementary school and from 49 to 56.7 at the high school. After looking at the scores from the second year of testing Dr. Gangel decided to tackle reading next. Reading received more emphasis at both schools. Teachers were asked to suggest ways they could improve reading and efforts were made to follow up on these suggestions. Also the schedule at the elementary school was rearranged to allow at least one and a half hours of uninterrupted time for reading each day. At the elementary school this year these efforts paid off in increased scores in reading. At the high school they did not. Dr. Gangel told the teachers at a faculty meeting at which he released the scores that he would take the blame for the poor showing at the high school. “We didn’t fail at the high school,” he said. “We learned something. Next year we’ll try something different. ’’ It is difficult to make valid comparisons based on standardized test scores. If you compare from year to year within the same grade, differences in scores may be due more to differences in the backgrounds and abilities of the students in that grade in a particular year than to anything the teachers do. If, on the other hand, you try to compare the same students from year to year, comparing this year’s fifth graders with last year’s fourth graders for example, you won’t be comparing exactly the same students and they will not be taking the same test. Nonetheless, by either method of comparison, there were dramatic improvements in reading this year at the el ementary school. On a scale in which 50 is considered the national average first graders scored 54 in reading vocabulary this year, compared to 49 last year, and they scored 47 in reading comprehension, compared to 43 last year. In third grade students scored 62 in vocabulary this year, compared to 50 last year, and 68 in reading vocabulary, compared to 54 last year. In seventh grade students scored 62 in vocabulary this year, compared to 51 last year, and they scored 69 in reading comprehension compared to 53 last year. There were some setbacks as well with fifth graders scoring 58 in vocabulary this year, compared with 67 last year, they also scored 65 in comprehension compared to 66 last year. However, for most grades in the elementary school reading scores were up this year, compared to last year. See SCORES, p. 14 Town council postpones vote on Inn's rezoning application By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After several hours of wrangling over the possible implications of approval of the rezoning application submitted by The Inn at Little Washington, Washington’s Town Council postponed a vote on the proposal last week. The application was forwarded to the council by its Planning Commission with a recommendation for denial, based largely on the inclusion of a parcel fronting on Gay St. which the Inn wants rezoned to commercial use. The Inn’s counsel, David Dickey, suggested to the council that the applicants might be willing to amend the application to reduce the area of the commercial rezoning, leaving a strip two to five feet wide along the Gay St. lot line in residential zoning. That, Mr. Dickey explained, would prevent any commercial uses from ever gaining access to the property from the Gay St. side, while still allowing the Inn to use the bulk of the property. After the Planning Commission hearing, suggestions where made that the town might look more favorably on the rezoning if it were reduced to include only the property fronting on Main St. by cutting the Sisk lot in half with the zoning line. The Inn said it plans to use the Gay St. part of the property for gardens, as well as for a gazebo-type structure to serve as the focal point of that side of the building. However, the planners raised questions about the appropriateness of that use in what would remain a residential zone. A subsequent ruling by Zoning Administrator John McCarthy held that, in his opinion, a gazebo constructed on residentially zoned property could not be used for commercial purposes, such as serving drinks or food to the Inn’s guests. Mr. Dickey told the council that his clients understood the feelings of the townspeople about keeping Gay St. largely residential, but maintained that the library provided a precedent for what he termed a “commercial” use in a residential neighborhood. However, library board member Dr. William Young, also a town resident, disagreed vehemently. “There is no way that a public library represents a commercial use,” he told the planners, adding that libraries are a use allowed “by-right” in residential zones. Mr. Dickey also suggested that the proper time to place controls on the use of the property is when special use permits are requested — a necessary step before the Inn can See REZONING, p. 14 VDOT close to action on roadside spring By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Resident Engineer Robert Moore said Tuesday that the Virginia Department of Transportation is “close” to making a decision on whether to close the popular roadside spring located on U.S. 211 about a mile east of Skyline Drive. Mr. Moore said that he understands through conversations with several officials from the state Health Department that they feel that the only way public health can be guaranteed is to install some type of treatment system at the spring. The water at the spring, according to health department officials, is contaminated with coliform bacteria, which indicates that the underground aquifer is being contaminated with groundwater somewhere above its outlet at the springbox. The health department declined to run further tests on the water, according to District Sanitarian Charles Shepherd, because tests in the past had indicated the presence of bacteria and he felt additional tests would yield the same result. However, Mr. Moore said Tuesday that VDOT had been told that additional tests could be done, provided that the highway department pays the bill. He suggested that one option might be a regular series of tests over some period of time to determine exactly what contaminants are present, how often and in what concentrations. The question which must be answered, Mr. Moore said, is “do we close the spring — and if not what risk are we willing to take? “I understand their position,” See SPRING, p.14

Spring Festival offers events for all By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer As spring settles itself in Rappahannock County, Sperryville shopkeepers prepare for their annual Sperryville Spring Festival, held Memorial Day weekend, May 26, 27 and 28. “There’s something for everyone,” Sperryville Business Council President Scott Sutton said, adding the annual event includes horse and buggy rides down Sperryville’s Main Street, arts and crafts and demonstrations by local and visiting artists, antique sales, glass blowing and good food. With events starting at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and continuing down Rt. 211 toward and through the Sperryville town center to the Sperryville Antique Market, the weekend promises excitement, fun and bargains for everyone. A special feature for this year’s event is the Civl War encampment, posted between the Church Mouse and Faith Mountain Herbs on Main Street. The encampment, complete with period-dressed soldiers and their women amid campfires and two-men tents, is part of the Palmetto Regement, originally from South Carolina but now composed of Virginians. “We are bringing 10 or 12 people and will set up part of the camp Fri day night,” Field Commander Brocky Nicely of Staunton said. The group is known for its sharp-shooting abilities — masters of the Whitworth rifle “probably one of the best sniper rifles of the period,” Mr. Nicely said. The campsite will consist of tents, reproductions of weapons, period dress for men and women and “life of the common soldier,” the field commander said. The group is returning for a second visit to the area — more correctly, the third — as Commander Nicely’s research shows the original company traveled the path from Centreville to Warrenton via Amissville, Washington, Sperryville, Woodville and on to Orange to assist with the seige of Yorktown. “A diary report says the group camped ‘four miles from Sperryville,” Commander Nicely said. For those enjoying a glance at another time, OldwayrGraft Village, • located just outside tjie town on U.S. 211 west, offers(1a variety of things to explore. Eric Kvames will demonstrate glass-blowing; woodworkers and welders will demonstrate their arts; blacksmiths with horseshoes and bee-keepers amid hives of golden honey bring back remnents of a age gone.

Other furniture sales at the Sperryville Emporium can keep mom and dad busy while the kids enjoy pony rides and games in the parking lot. The weekend’s not all work and no play. Face painting for children at Oldway Craft Village, basket weaving at Country Manor and wine tastings, featuring Oasis Vineyard Wines, at The Annex, offer a bit of relaxation and enjoyment each day. Musicians will entertain spectators each afternoon in a variety of locations — Faith Mountain and the Church Mouse, The Woodsmoke Cafe, Southern Drawl Galleries, Oldway Craft Village and at Four Winds Farm. For those wishing to participate in the activities, Four Winds Farm will hold a chili cookoff on Friday and a barbeque cookoff on Saturday . Bring your best recipe and join in the competition. Or, bring your appetite and enjoy a taste of variety — as several different types of foods are prepared for the weekend celebration. Besides the chili challenge at Four Winds, several places will offer a repast. Woodsmoke Cafe and the Hazel Mountain Pub offer a retreat from the outdoors as well as a delicious menu. Ham sandwiches for busy shoppers can be found with “hoe-made” barbecue at Sperryville Deal. The flavor of I.omebaked cookies, cakes, pies, rolls and other breads can be found around the town as 4H’ers and other community or church groups sponsor bake sales. For those looking for something somewhat different, “High-on-theHog,” from a trailer at the Sperryville Antique Market, heaps handpulled and chopped pork roast on sandwiches or serves pork barbecue spare-ribs. “We use a Boston butt pork roast,” High-on-the-Hog” owner Jim Hartman of Warrenton said. “We smoke the roast for 12 hours in apple wood and then pull it by hand and chop it into chunks.” He uses a stainless-steel smoker with an 800 pound capacity. The meat is then flavored with Hartman’s special sauce — rated second in the world by the World Class Richmond Invitational Cookoff in 1989.

Smith takes no nonsense Democratic hopeful seeks 7th District nod Saturday By BURKE DAVIS III Arundel Newapapen SUIT Writer Democrat David Smith whirled through the Seventh District last week with attacks on “Washington nonsense” and promises of environmental responsibility as he began his campaign to unseat Republican D. French Slaughter Jr. for the 7th District congressional seat. Smith’s campaign workers believe the three-term congressman is vulnerable despite the 98 percent rate at which congressional incumbents are re-elected to the House. They say that their findings show Slaughter has only a 41 percent name recognition in the 7th District. Seventh District Democrats meet for their nominating convention at 11 a.m. Saturday at Rappahannock High School. The keynote speaker is Lt. Gov. Don Beyer. , Smith’s camp figures he is the front runner of the three candidates for the nomination. The others are Robert Frazier of Earlysville and Alexander Peaslee of Charlottesville. The district includes Fauquier and stretches from central Virginia to the Shenandoah Valley. A picnic will follow at the Child Care and Learning Center. The 33-year-old Smith is the first challenge Slaughter has faced since he first won the congressional seat in 1984, when he handily defeated Democrat Lou Costello to take the place of retiring Republican Kenneth Robinson. Slaughter beat Costello soundly throughout the district, winning with 58 percent of the vote. Slaughter has never lost a race in his political career. He served 10 terms — 20 years — in the state legislature before his three terms in Congress. But Smith, a Methodist minister, appears to think he can defeat the undefeated. Smith is the son of State Del. Alson Smith, D-Frederick, a power in state politics. The elder Smith promised to serve as his son’s treasurer if he first raised $50,000 for the campaign. With the money raised and his influential father now officially on his team, Smith may present a real threat to Slaughter. He spoke confidently to a group of about 35 Democrats who gathered at the Old Courthouse to hear him last Thursday and he introduced himself in shops and offices along Main Street in Warrenton with breezy enthusiasm. “I think we have a good chance,” Smith said later during a private interview. “I think there is a general discontent in the district.” The “Washington nonsense,” Smith said, must be replaced by “Virginia common sense.” Deficit !1 r BALDWIN’S GROCERY Your complete one stop grocery shopping center!

Were here to help. spending looms large in Smith’s definition of “Washington nonsense. ” Foreign'aid and defense spending must be trimmed, in Smith’s view. “Everybody’s finally saying we need to be capful with defense spending,” Smith said to the crowd tha included most of Fauquier’s leading Democrats. “The way we’ve spent in the last eight years, soon we’ll find ourselves broke and unarmed.” He cited three other main issues in the congressional campaign: education, highway money and mass transit. Federal highway funding “has already been appropriated,” Smith said. “Common sense says get the dollars already appropriated.” Drugs are another issue, he said. “Instead of voting a pay raise, Congress should have been voting to put more money into our war on drugs . . ., a real war, not a war of words.” In the brief interview later, he was asked what specific steps he would want congress to take in the drug war. “People feel a need for tighter control on our borders,” Smith responded. He suggested using military force to stop the inflow of drugs. “We have had the largest peacetime military build-up in history. We might as well do something with it.” Abortion could become a big issue, Smith believes, espcially if the media focus on it. Smith has taken an early stance that is quietly phrased but nontheless definite. “People feel that government should stay out of private decisions,” Smith said. “I believe in the separation of church and state. Government has no business invading a woman’s privacy.” The issue, he said, is in most minds “laid to rest. But if you look at how our congressman votes, that issue has not been laid to rest.” Little Theatre to meet May 24 The Front Royal Little Theatre will hold a meeting, Thursday, May 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Warren Memorial Hospital Conference Room.

Country club fire called accidental Fauquier Springs members plan to rebuild county landmark By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Nmpppera Staff Writer FAUQUIER SPRINGS — A late-night fire destroyed the clubhouse at Fauquier Springs Country Club early Tuesday morning, sending flames more than 50 feet into the air and causing more than $1 million in damage. The 15-room, ante-bellum clubhouse burned to the ground, but the club’s pro shop was saved. Lost were Civil War guns and swords, valuable paintings “and a lifetime of memories for many of our members,” said general manager Danny Snyder. Warrenton Fire Company 1 Chief Steve Ross said, “There is no reason to suspect” arson, and arson investigators left the scene by 10 a.m. Tuesday. “We had to pop open the doors. Everything was locked and secured. At this time there is no investigator coming to look at it,” said Ross. The fire was discovered about 1:25 a.m. and called in to the Fauquier sheriffs dispatcher. By the time a deputy arrived, the clubhouse was engulfed in flames. “When we got here, fire was shooting out the roof,” Ross said. He confirmed reports that the flames went 50 feet into the air. The intense flames prevented firefighters from entering the building, so they could spray it only from the outside. “When you get a building like this, so far involved, all you can do is back off and try an exterior assault,” said Ross. Club officials were already talking about rebuilding the facility. It was insured, according to Bob Foley, a club member since 1959 and currently a member of the board of visitors. The 436-member golf and tennis club was founded in 1957, at which time an addition was built onto the old Sulphur Springs carriage house, which pre-dates the Civil War. He said the board of visitors would begin to consider the process of rebuilding the club at its regular monthly meetihg Wednesday. In the meantime, the golf course, pool and tennis courts will remain open to the public.

H.W. Evans, a member of the Sulphur Springs Investment Corp., which manages the club. “It’s a shame — what the Civil War didn’t do, we did in two hours in 1990.” He said the management group intends to maintain uninterrupted operations of the golf course, and the pro shop would probably be open by the weekend. Because the pro shop was saved, so were dozens of sets of golf clubs that members had stored in the building. Tuesday morning many of them were at the club, claiming their golf bags. Others, who live nearby, were attracted by the commotion during the night. Foley saw the flames from his home across the fairway on Route 802 and “knew right away exactly what it was.” Mary Schlegel, who lives about 200 yards from the club, said she was not awakened until hours into the fire. Mrs. Schlegel said the biggest losses were neither the club nor its memorabilia. “So many members had family members married here, and spent their summer weekends here. Those memories are gone now,” she said. “It’s a big loss for the people who use the facility,” said Chief Ross. He said the damage was “well over” $1 million. Ross said the fire was a “twoalarm, but with special circumstances.” Fire companies in Remington, Warrenton, New Baltimore, the Warrenton Training Center, Lois, Catlett, Orlean, Rappahannock and' Prince William were called to the fire. The Warrenton Rescue Squad also assisted. PIEDMONT ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL RAPPAHANNOCK LEAGUE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 1990 NATURAL HISTORY DAY CAMP For Children Ages 8-11. Register before May 25.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audil Bureau I THURSDAY, MAY 17,1990 Editorial Calm down, Mr. Dickey We find the comments of David Dickey, legal counsel for The Inn at Little Washington, puzzling. Even as the Inn’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee surveys the opinions of the town’s residents with an eye toward reaching some common ground on which to proceed with the Inn’s expansion, Mr. Dickey’s verbal and written blasts at the town’s ordinances and its attorney’s opinions seem to us to be unnecessary, counter-productive and needlessly inflammatory. We understand that his job, as the Inn’s counsel, is to represent the interests of his clients. However, there is a way to do that without needlessly aggravating the situation; or, in the words of Treasurer Brad Fisher, “insulting the alligator before you cross the river. ” In particular, his parting shot in a lengthy memo addressed to the Town Council seems to us an ultimatum, and far from the suggestions of a willingness to compromise offered by his clients, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. To suggest that a refusal to grant the rezoning would “constitute a declaration by the Council that the Town of Washington does not welcome the continued presence of the Inn in this community” reads to us not as an invitation to compromise but a rather an out-and-out threat. Mr. Dickey might do well to remember that, although the town certainly benefits from the presence of the world-famous Inn at Little Washington, part of the Inn’s charm and mystique is a result of its setting in the beautiful and quaint village of Washington, Virginia. The relationship is symbiotic — one from which both parties benefit. We urge compromise, and with it an end to this hyperbolic rhetoric which only serves to inflame passions needlessly and divert attention from the real issues which must be addressed. This is not the time to draw lines in the dirt. I Commentary ijrv-iu.

This was not just “good” poetry — some of it was “great”! Each student read a poem selected by the audience and fielded questions from the audience. The poise and depth of thought exhibited as each answered tough questions such as “why did you use this word rather than another, or that particular phrase, or what were you actually trying to say?” was impressive indeed.

V audience was humbled by the experience. I would like to publish the names of all the students who participated because we, as a community, should honor these students. We like to publish the names of those who have allegedly done something wrong, often giving the impression that teenagers are a sorry lot. In truth, the majority of them are contributing members to our county, most have jobs and care deeply about their future, the environment, and his or her place in helping to make this a better world. I only wish more had come out to pay homage to them and to their teachers, Lee Buratti of Wakefield and Jon Heddleston of Rappahannock. Both of these English teachers provided the kind of environment, stimulation, and thought provoking atmosphere in which such creativity flowered and came to fruition.

We are pleased to report that it was a success!!! For the record: Our goal was 35 pints. We had 42 donors; three were deferred, resulting in a total of 39 pints collected, which is four pints over our goal. There were two firsttime donors! Great! t)avid Riedel of Washington received his six-galloon pin. Congratulations David! The Extension Homemakers are pleased that we can sponsor the Bloodmobile in Rappahannock County twice a year as a service to our community. But it would not be possible without all the loyal donors who support the Bloodmobile. To you we say a great big “Thanks!” We also want to thank the Washington Volunteer Fire Department for the use of its facility and the Rapphannock News for its great publicity. MARIE DAVIS President, Extension Homemaker Clubs HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent/Advisor Parables are allegories To the editor: Interestingly the passage Pastor John Burke chose to quote (Rappahannock News, April 19) to prove that there is a literal hell informs us that the saved go to some place called “Abraham’s bosom,” when they pass away. Is that also a real and literal bosom? Jesus was prone to speak in parables and was a great storyteller as well. A recent movie on television showed that a rendition of The Prodigal Son can be as enthralling nowadays as when it was first told! But no one would suggest that Jesus spoke of a real and literal son and his father, or that if you don’t do right you’ll end up eating literal pig husks. His stories were used to illustrate a point. But Jesus didn’t make up wild, avantgarde fiction, rather he used everyday ideas held by people of the time. Hence, Abraham’s bosom and hell. The point of the story is contained in the last lines and it is in the prophetic irony that someone would indeed come back from the dead and would not be believed. The Jews would believe neither their own prophets — who spoke of “the pit” or hell, nor Christ, who said that if he were “raised up” on the cross he would draw all men to him. The child of God chooses eternal life. Perhaps early at five or six, or later, even after he or she is clinically dead. Five minutes after you “die” your mind may still be active, still making choices as it passes through dreams and visions not unlike that of being the rich man in hell or the poor man in Abraham’s bosom. Jesus had just gotten through telling his desciples that the law and the prophets were valid only to the time of John the Baptist, but since then the Kingdom of Heaven is being preached, and “every man (person) presseth into it.” Then he began to tell the story of the rich person in hell. Many people have been revived from clinical death, but do today’s preachers believe them? Yet Jesus described the Kingdom as a net of fish which was sorted and a field of wheat and tares which was to be left alone by mankind and weeded eventually by the angels. And if everyone eventually chooses and receives eternal life, those references could only be good and bad qaulities in the individual. We awaken upon one of the Father’s mansion worlds with only the eternally valuable characteristics we have developed during our lives on earth. And one would suspect that very little salvageable stuff is to be found in folks who hold off the inevitable until the very last moment. It might be kind of like being an amnesia victim in heaven — the prodigal son returning home but forgetting who he was. We ought not to forget that the Spirit of Truth was poured out upon all mankind and since that time everyone is a child of God. Fear not, little flock, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. The little flock of earth mortals is just a tiny segment of a vast, innumerable family spread throughout the far-flung cosmos. PETER B.

Op - Ed State GOP squabbles bode ill for party By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Special Writer There is an old and wise political axiom that goes, “Don’t say anything unless it improves the silence.” But those who guide the fortunes of the Republican Party of Virginia have apparently forgotten that advice as they publicly flail each other and qontribute to the notion that the state party is in disarray. There will always be power struggles within political parties, for it’s the nature of the beast. Politics , is, after all, a quest for power; and competition is healthy when it provides an opportunity for divergent points of view to be heard and to establish strong leadership. But Republicans in Virginia have gone beyond the bounds of healthy competition as a result of the natural recriminations brought on by three consecutive losses in gubernatorial elections. Whoever said victory has many fathers but defeat is an orphan had it exactly right. When Virginia’s Democrats were ripped apart with strife in the 1970’s each of its many factions blamed the party’s dwindling fortunes on the others. Attending Democratic meetings at local, regional and state levels in those days was like entering an arena where you could be sure considerable bloodletting would follow. By the end of the 1970’s the party was beginning to resemble a punchdrunk fighter ready to be dealt the knockout blow. But two things con Old Dominion Politics tributed to its salvation. The first was Richard J. Davis of Portsmouth, a tough pragmatic businessman who became the Democrats’ state party chairman and not only preached unity but demanded it. He convinced warring factions that there were no rewards in spilling each other’s blood and no matter what their philosophical differences, all could profit from beating Republicans. The second factor was the gradual shift of Virginia Republicans from being a high-spirited unified party to one whose members suddenly seemed to turn on each other. The turning point may have come when George McMath of the Eastern Shore, the state chairman, resigned. McMath, a successful publisher, computerized the party and its fund raising processes and gave long suffering Republicans the taste of victory in statewide elections. When Republican Marshall Coleman lost a gubernatorial bid last year for the second time in the 1980’s after besting Congressman Stan Parris and Sen. Paul Trible in a bitterly contested primary, the long knives began to appear everywhere in party circles. Those who had been unhappy with the party leadership even before the election had their hands strengthened when public revelations were made of sloppy bookkeeping practices at party headquarters that resulted in thousands of dollars of overdrawn checks and a need to borrow money to pay the Internal Revenue Service $240,000 in taxes, penalties and interest. As this is written, at least several groups of prominent Republicans are out to sack party chairman Donald Huffman and executive director Joe Elton and to restructure the party from the top down. Huffman, a Roanoke lawyer who had plenty of defenders, says he’s sticking to his post. The infighting became even bloodier when an audit report the GOP leadership hoped to keep within the family was mailed anonymously to the press, resulting in editorial charges that the party’s central committee had attempted to cover up its flawed financial practices. Typical of the reaction by Huffman supporters to the leak were comments by Hugh Mulligan, first vice chairman, who said whoever released the report was “a skunk” who should be drummed out of the party.

STELLA CADWALADER Woodville tant said if just half of the audit report’s allegations were true, it was time for heads to roll at headquarters. All the public washing of dirty laundry can only hurt GOP fund raising and organizational efforts and detract from the chances of Republican candidates in Virginia this fall. Yet there appears to be no end in sight to the bickering that now makes combat zones of many Republican gatherings. General George Patton once said, in blunter terms, that certain waste materials don’t run uphill. That means problems and low morale at the top echelon of a political party will naturally flow downhill and affect the morale and thinking of the rank and file. For now it appears that many of those with party leadership reponsiblities would rather fight each other than Demoncrats. They have lost sight of the basic goals of any political party, namely to elect its candidates and promulgate its philosophy. This columnist is taking no sides in the internal warfare except to voice the opinion that if it continues the fortunes of all Republican candidates this year will be hurt in some way and GOP chances of taking control of the House of Delegates in 1991 will fade away. Whether party chairman Huffman, who declines to bow out, has provided strong enough leadership to stop the cancerous battling is for Virginia Republicans to decide. He is an intelligent and gracious man. Yet defeat still remains an orphan and .there are Republicans in key rotes who believe Huffman should adopt the orphan and take it away with him. Meanwhile, Democrats, who are beginning to feud publicly among themselves again, chortle each time they hear reports of Republicans aiming their sights at each other. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own.

The forum, to be presented by Dr. George Broman of Culpeper Surgical Associates and Dr. Amauri Gonzalez of Culpeper Family Practice, will be held in the boardroom of the hospital on May 22 at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Broman will discuss the various types of skin cancer and the statistics regarding cancerous lesions. He will also review the dangers to look for and what they mean, and the surgical vs. nonsurgical approaches to treating cancer. “Sun is the major factor in causing skin cancer. Dangers from the sun will not be visible until later down the road, and then it will be too late,” said Dr. Broman. “Attending this forum would be worthy of consideration with the summer season approaching, although skin cancer is not just a one season problem,” Dr. Broman continued. Family practice physician Dr. Amauri Gonzalez will lead the discussion on skin care. “The skin is one of the most important organs of the body and I will discuss how to take care of it,” said Dr. Gonzales. Dr. Gonzalez will show slides and discuss various benign skin lesions such as freckles, moles, warts and skin infections. Discussion will also include the diagnoses and treatments of these lesions. To register or for more information regarding this free health presentation, please call Jill Pegelow, CMH community relations office at 829-4307 or from Orange 672-4322.

Rhubarb an overlooked spring treat By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Rhubarb is a spring vegetable that is often called pie plant because making it into pies or tarts are popular ways to prepare it. Rhubarb can also be baked with just a little sugar and water and served with cream or sour cream as a topping. Rhubarb sauce can be served over ice cream. Rhubarb Fool is rhubarb cooked until tender with sugar and a small amount of water, then chilled and pureed and blended with whipped cream, sour cream or yogurt. It is served very cold as a dessert. Rhubarb is often combined with strawberries for a tasty blend of flavors as in the following recipes for the rhubarb tart and rhubar cobbler. Rhubarb has started to appea2 in local markets and gardens. If you have an abundance in your garden it is easy to freeze or use in jellies and conserves. To freeze, select stalks that are crisp, tender and well colored with red. Early spring cuttings are best for freezing. Remove leaves and woody ends; discard blemished and tough stalks. Wash rhubarb well under running water and cut into 1 inch lengths. Prepare in one of the following ways: Unsweetened Pack Pack raw rhubarb tightly into containers without sugar. Leave needed headspace. Seal, label and freeze. Sugar Pack Mix 1 cup sugar to 4 cups rhubarb. Allow to stand until sugar is dissolved. Pack in freezer containers leaving 1/4 inch headspace for pint containers and 1/2 inch headspace for quart containers. Seal, label and freeze. Syrup Pack Pack either raw or preheated rhubarb tightly into containers. Cover with a cold 40 percent syrup. Leave needed headspace. Seal, label and freeze. Note: To make a medium or 40 percent syrup, combine 3 cups of sugar to 4 cups of water which will yield 5 1/2 cups of syrup. These first two recipes are from Mrs. Janet Eastham in Flint Hill who has rhubarb in her garden and graciously shared her recipes with us.

Rappahannock Journal Regionals-bounH Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan THE PANTHERS’ TOP RUNNERS, distance man Matt Eidson (left) and Susie Dealing are headed to the regional track meet on Friday, May 18 at Fluvanna High School. ! I Small grains sign-up ends Linda Henry, county executive director of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, said farmers who enrolled in the 1990 wheat and feed grain reduction programs should now prepare to certify or report their program acres. Farm program participants in Rappahannock County have until June 15 to report the acres and intended uses of their wheat, oats, barley, rye and other fall-seeded crops to ASCS. Small grain crops that are not reported by this deadline will be ineligible for program benefits. ASCS uses acreage reports to determine compliance with farm programs. Before farmers can receive price support loans, deficiency payments and other program benefits, they must certify their entire farm after planting, according to Ms. Henry. The reports contain crops and acreages planted, the uses to be made of these crops, and cropland acres to be devoted to the acreage conservation reserve. Prior to reporting the acres, producers can request that ASCS measure their program acres, and thus avoid unnecessary worry over the loss of program benefits. Fees vary depending on the type of measurements provided. Measurement services is valuable not only to farm program participants, but to any farmer who desires an accurate acreage for any reason. Rappahannock County farmers who have not certified their fall seeded crops are urged to do so by June 15, Ms. Henry said. For more information, please come by the local ASCS office on the corner of Gay & Jett streets in Washington. Artmobile visits RCES May 17-21 What is an artist suggesting when he includes a crumbling Greek column in a portrait of an important person? Chances are he’s using the fragments of ancient architecture to indicate that the sitter possesses the enduring and noble qualities of the early Greeks, according to Deborah Frazier of the Virginia Museum’s education and outreach staff. That’s just one of the ways that fragments of the past, and fragments of the present for the matter, have been appropriated by the art world throughout history, Ms. Frazier says. “Fragments” is the title of a Virginia Museum Artmobile exhibition coming to the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Thursday, May 17. Ms. Frazier and Susan Glasser organized the exhibit, which is sponsored locally by Elementary Art Department. It will be open to the public on Monday, May 21 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at RCES. “Much of our understanding of man’s history has been compiled from fragments — literary fragments, architectural fragments and fragments from works of art,” Ms. Frazier says. “This exhibition considers how we are able to take these incomplete bundles of information and develop a history of mankind,” she says. “Fragments” contains old and new objects from around the world. The exhibit explores what fragments say about the cultures that produced them and how we decipher this information. It focuses also on fragments as inspiration in art and concludes by considering how 20thcentury artists, like the portrait painter who uses crumbling Greek architecture to make a statement about the sitter, appropriate fragments to create new art. Seventeen pieces are included in the exhibition, ranging in date from approximately 1500 B.C. to the present time. Fragments of artworks from Egypt, Rome, India, Japan, Africa and early America are combined with 17th- and 18th-century Italian and English and 20th-century American works. The final section presents 20thcentury American art made from fragments. “Taking fragments from their everyday lives — discarded cardboard boxes, damaged photos and pieces of crumbling buildings — they create new works of art which comment on life in this century,” Ms. Frazier says. Works by Joseph Cornell and Robert Rauschenberg are included in the final section. For more information about the Artmobile’s visit, call RCES art teacher Linda Owings 987-8259. “The man who has no imagination has no wings. ” Muhammad Ali Quota exceeded Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter GIVING THE GIFT of life, Public Health Nurse Marion Facchina donates blood at the Extension Homemakers’ Bloodmobile in Washington last Wednesday.

Poacher forfeits vehicle, pays fine Superintendent J. William Wade announced the recent conviction of three persons for illegal hunting of deer in Shenandoah National Park. Convicted by U.S. Magistrate B. Waugh Crigler on April 19 were Bryan M. Hartman, Steven T. DuVall and Douglas Sloan, all of Manassas. Bryan M. Hartman pled guilty to two federal charges of illegal hunting in Shenandoah National Park and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. The charges stem from an investigation which occurred during October 1989, in which two large male white-tailed deer carcasses were found along the Skyline Drive in the Central District of the Park. At both sites where the deer were killed, evidence was found that indicated the deer were killed by an arrow fired from a crossbow. Nothing was taken from the carcasses except the heads, which were believed to be heavily antlered. On Oct. 27, 1989 Park Rangers stopped Hartman’s vehicle and found a loaded crossbow, marijuana and paraphernalia and an incriminating photograph depicting Hartman Put a Kubota L2050 to work for you...

Two other occupants of the Hartman vehicle, Steven T. DuVall and Douglas Sloan were charged with aiding and abetting illegal hunting in the Park. All three plead guilty to charges on April 9, and received the following sentences: Hartman received a $450 fine, a one-year probation period, a sixmonth suspended jail sentence, and w^s ordered to pay a $400 “replaceP ment fee” for a deer he killed to Shenandoah National Park, as well as refrain from entering the Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway for the duration of his probation. Hartman was also ordered to forfeit the crossbow and his 1984 fourwheel drive pickup truck to the National Park Service. Sloan received a $200 fine and DuVall received a $100 fine. Both received a one-year probation period, and a three-month suspended jail sentence and were also ordered to refrain from entering Shenandoah. 1 r r\ ' || Make aIHade for an All- American. i ■ GET AT SOfinOO TRADE LEAST *#■■■■ — ALLOWANCE* MAYBE MORE, WHEN YOU TRADE IN ANY OLD MOWER ON A NEW REAR ENGINE RIDER.

Scores Continued from page 1 Trying the other method also shows progress. This year’s fifth graders scored 58 in reading vocabulary. While that was not as high as last year’s fifth graders, who scored 67, it was five points higher than the 53 they scored in fourth grade, which was one point higher than the 52 they scored in third grade. In reading comprehension they scored 65 this year, compared to 51 in fourth grade and 52 in third grade. This method also reveals that the most dramatic improvements take place between when students are tested in March of their first grade year and March of their second grade year. This year’s second graders scored 73 in reading vocabulary, compared to 49 in first grade, and 68 in reading comprehension compared to 43 in first grade. However, very similar results occurred last year, when reading was not receiving as much attention. Last year’s second graders scored 63 in vocabulary compared to 53 in first grade, and 60 in comprehension compared to 48 in first grade. Still comparing the schools as a whole and the school system as a whole probably gives more valid comparisons than from year to year in the same grade or from grade to grade. The chart shows the scores for all the tests given this March and compares those scores with tests given in March, 1989, and in March, 1988, for each of the schools and for the school division as a whole. Since only fourth graders at the elementary school are tested in science and social studies, and only eighth graders at the high school are tested in vocabulary, those scores are subject to random variation. Also in 1988 only the eighth and eleventh grades were tested at the high school so those scores are less representative of the school as a whole than the scores for 1989 and 1990. All of the tests use a multiple choice format. The scores labelled “writing” summarize results in the first eight grades of separate tests on spelling, capitalization, punctuation and usage. In grades nine through twelve they are based on the students ability to pick the correct form from among various incorrect forms. The scores labelled “study skills” are based on the students’ ability to find information from maps, charts, and samples of reference works. The composite score is based on all the previous scores, except that in fourth and eighth grades it does not include science and social studies. * An analysis of this data in sum marized form shows that the improvement in reading scores at the elementary school has been accompanied by improvement in almost all other areas as well. Math showed a continued improvement from 62.7 last year to 66.6 this year. Only social studies showed a drop compared to last year, and that score is only based on tests of fourth graders. The chart also shows that the strong showing at the elementary school is resulting in improvement for the division as a whole, even though most scores at the high school did not improve this year. However, there were improvements in the scores at the high school in writing, study skills, and science this year. Also in all areas except reading, scores at the high school, while not necessarily higher than 1989, are higher than those in 1988. As pleased as Dr. Gangel is with the results at the elementary school, he is not satisfied. “What could be greater than this?” he asked. “We’re making a real difference in the lives of children.” But he is not ready to stop. He says he wants to get all the scores in the 70’s and keep on improving, and he believes he is in the ideal school system to do just that. “We’re the ideal size, we’ve got the students; we’ve got the staff, and we have tremendous community support.” Rezoning Continued from page 1 use the property, even if it is rezoned, he pointed out. Mr. Dickey also suggested, in a memo addressed to the council members, that the town’s zoning ordinances and comprehensive plan are fundamentally flawed and often contradictory, and therefore difficult to interpret and address. However, Mr. McCarthy criticized Mr. Dickey’s memo, charging that “you have picked and chosen from among the public and private opinions of myself, the town attorney and the members of the Planning Commission.” Town Treasurer Brad Fisher was even more blunt in his criticism of Mr. Dickey’s attacks on the town’s ordinances and the opinions of Town Attorney Frank Reynolds. The arguments are “hogwash,” he said, adding that “An old and wise saying tells us that it is bad form to insult the alligator before you cross the river.” He also took issue with Mr. Dickey’s concluding paragraph, in which he stated, “. . . this modest request for a rezone is wholy correct. Its denial would be legally unenforceable. Your refusal to approve this request will constitute a declaration by the Council that the Town of Washington does not welcome the continued presence of the Inn in this community.” He pointed to the memo’s footnote, which contrasted Washington’s meals and lodging tax with the incentives offered by other localities to lure businesses. “You get numerous services and tax incentives. There is no property tax, no business tax, no property tax, no direct taxes on the Inn. If that’s not an incentive, I don’t know what is. You are not paying a tax — your customers are,” Mr. Fisher said. “I just wanted to clear these up for the record.” After hearing a number of residents speak in opposition to considering the request for a rezoning of the Gay St. part of the Sisk property, the council decided that more information is needed before a decision is made. The four council members present (Reinhardt Lynch and Evelyn Willis disqualified themselves, William Wickens did not attend the meeting) set a work session to gather more information for Wednesday, May 23 at 8 p.m. at the courthouse to again consider the ap plication, along with additional information from Mr. Reynolds and Mr. McCarthy. In other action, the council: • received a formal presentation from Adelphia Communications Inc. to provide cable television service to the town. Richard Burke, representing Adelphia, told the council that approval of the franchise by the town was a necessary component of service for the rest of the county. Mr. McCarthy, who is overseeing the franchise negotitations in his post as county administrator, suggested that the town and county cooperate in the negotiations to streamline the process. • heard that the joint town/county committee to resolve the question of straddle lots will meet on Wednesday, May 23 at 7 p.m. at the courthouse to consider solutions to the problem of lots divided by the town/county boundary. Co-ops discuss merger Culpeper Fanners’ Cooperative, Inc. and Orange-Madison Cooperative Farm Service announced last week that they have begun negotiations for a possible merger or other consolidation of their organizations, according to Ted Gore of the Culpeper Co-op. According to a press release, a definitive agreement to consolidate hasn’t been reached at this time. Such agreement needs members approval, said the statement. Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative is based in Culpeper and serves approximately 4,000 members from re Baseball Continued from page 1 nity. Mr. Kellert also gave special thanks to the Amissville Ruritan Club, which gave the project financial, volunteer and construction support during the past few years. “It has been one of the most astounding examples of community spirit — with the with the children being the real winners,” Mr. Kellert said. “And it can really be traced back to people such as Capt. and Mrs. Stuart." Julian Brown, the commissioner of the Western Division, also noted the community spirit and support of the league during his introduction of the teams’ sponsors, as well as those who contributed time and materials to make the fields what they are today. “It is hard to imagine that so much can be accomplished with just donations and volunteers,” Mr. Brown said. “These 1990 sponsors represent just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the support we have received already this year.” “It will take money to keep us going,” RAA Finance Chairwoman Cheryl Diggs agreed. She encouraged the community to continue its support with donations and contributions to the league’s fund-raisers, including raffles and concession stands which open during all games. The future of the RAA, President Kellert said, looks bright as it begins its 1990 season with the dedication of Stuart Field. Jerry Brown, the league’s vice-president, stated that, for the first time, all age brackets have been sanctioned by the National Babe Ruth organization and that the RAA will be fielding several teams in district and state tournaments. “The district has also asked the RAA to host the 1991 Babe Ruth tournament for 13 to 15 year-olds, which we would like to do providing that we can continue to get this type of support in the future,” Mr. Brown added.

The right-of-way department is in the process of negotiating with property owners for the second phase of the project, from the Covington River Bridge to just outside Sperryville. He said he expected that process to be completed in the next 60 to 90 days and reported to Richmond for action. That phase of construction is scheduled to be advertised in January 1991. “It doesn’t look like we Spring Continued from page 1 Mr. Moore said of the health department officials. “They have responsibility for the health of all individuals.” The highway department headquarters in Richmond has received a number of letters from people who use the spring, he added, all urging that it be left open for people to use at their own risk. Meanwhile, the original complaintant, a resident of Great Falls, called the Rappahannock News on Monday to express his displeasure with the lack of action so far by the state health and highway departments. Jim Stimson stressed that he did not wish to create a controversy when he inquired about the spring’s safety, but was only concerned for the health of those — including his family — who had drunk from the spring. He said that he hopes additional testing will be done to determine whether what, if any, contaminants, are in the water. Mr. Moore acknowledged that the highway department, which owns the right-of-way where the springbox sits, will be unlikely to satisfy everyone no matter what decision is reached. “Whatever position we take, there will be some people disappointed in us.” • _ _I MAM (JLlr'rTUiN DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980.

Frank Jacobeen, a technician with the northern Virginia office of the SWCB, said that it was his understanding that lawyers for the highway department and the SWCB were discussing what action to take. “We have over 400 active cases involving underground storage tanks in the region,” he said. “We’d like them all to move faster, but there is not enough staff.” Also the engineer in the office who was originally responsible for this case has since quit, he said. Mr. Jacobeen said that VDOT was pushing the SWCB to move faster on this particular case. However, he added, after going over the report submitted by Quarles he said he has additional questions. He said he would recommend that the SWCB ask for answers to these questions before action is taken but he hadn’t been able to make that recommendation to the engineer who took over from the previous engineer yet.

Mr. Sharp wrote, “We have ceased operation and the building is for sale.” He asked that the balance of $338 be eliminated from the WSA books. Mr. Sharp’s bill is based on four “equivalent of dwelling units.” All commercial establishments on the sewer system are charged for at least two EDU’s, except road-side stands which may petition to be reduced to one EDU if they are shut down for at least six months. Higher EDU rates are based on the number of employees working for the business. “The minimum charge is two,” Carson Johnson said. “If he is not working his people, we can cut back to the minimum.” “He wants retroactive relief,” Jimmy Swindler said. “The operation continued while the bill was accumulating.” The authority members voted that Mr. Sharp would owe the bill already accumulated, and that his rate would be cut to two EDU’s starting with May. If the business is closed for six months, Mr. Sharp can petition to have it reduced to one EDU. WSA mambers also did some preliminary work on the budget for next year. They decided to slightly increase amounts for telephone, electricity, and insurance and to add $200 for gasoline for the pumper truck. They will take final action on the budget at the June meeting. “Your expression is the most important thing you can wear.” Sid Ascher Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM James W.
