Kaelin, County Administrator John McCarthy, Apple Computer’s Lynn Silver and Dr. Helen Edens of the state Department of Education. County schools salute success of Potomac Edison partnership By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At a banquet last Tuesday the Rappahannock County public schools said “Thank you!” to the Potomac Edison Company for its contribution of computers and technical assistance to the schools. The occasion was the dedication of the Elmer B. Kaelin Computer Lab at the elementary school, in honor of Mr. Kaelin, who is the outgoing president of Potomac Edison, and the Potomac Edison Computer Lab at the high school. The bronze plaques to be put on the doors of the labs didn’t arrive in time, but Mr. Kaelin and incoming Potomac Edison President Alan J. Noia received brass copies. Also honored with plaques were David Kline, Administrator of Educational “This little county that I worried about when we started has turned out to be the leader in the use of computers. ” — Elmer B. Kaelin President, Potomac Edison Programs for Potomac Edison, and John Linaburg, Educational Project Coordinator in Virginia for Potomac Edison. Although the computer equipment at the schools has primarily been donated by Potomac Edison, some has also been donated by Apple Computer Co., and some has been purchased through the Gover nor’s Technology Initiative. So Ida J. Hill, Assistant Superintendent of the Virginia Department of Education, and Gene Longo, Education Account Executive with Apple Computer, also received plaques. “We have one modest goal,” Superintendent David Gangel told the See DEDICATION, p. 16 No funds for FORE, Legal Aid Advertised 78 cent tax rate may drop By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors decided once again not to fund various social service agencies that regularly request money from the county. After presentations at Monday evening’s work session by representatives from FORE, the sheltered workshop in Remington, and Legal Services, the supervisors debated cutting the contribution to the Community Services Board and trying to spread the money among some of those agencies, but weren’t able to reach a concensus, and decided to leave the Community Services Board alone and cut the others. There were no other cuts made, however the board did make some additions to the budget. They decided to add $10,296 to cover health insurance for the supervisors, but most said they would not take advantage of the policy. They added $900 for rent for County Administrator John McCarthy’s office, because his new space at the former Extension office will not be ready by July 1. In addition they added $2,000 for the Extension Service for heating and electrical service at the new office above the Kramer and Eiland Woodworking shop. The supervisors also added $250 for part-time help at the building inspector’s office, for contracting for specialized, expert assistance with some difficult inspections. They also added $1,000 to the building inspection office budget to cover the cost of a radio for the Building Inspector Ritchie Burke’s car. The supervisors also agreed with Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham to add $2,000 to the budget for a contribution to the Rappahannock Athletic Association to support the purchase of equipment for youth sports. They agreed, however, with Piedmont representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes that the money should be available to youth softball and soccer also, not just for baseball. There were also additions to the registrar’s budget. The amount for travel was increased from $400 to $600. New registrar Nancy Leake said she will need to go to1 Richmond for several days to receive training on new computer equipment. She also asked that the amount for the assistant registrar be increased from $2,700 to $3,140 See BUDGET, p. 16 Smith will face Slaughter for 7th District seat By BURKE DAVIS III Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Democrats chose David Smith by acclamation Saturday to challenge U.S. Rep. French Slaughter for the Seventh District congressional seat after secondrunner Alexander “Sandy” Peaslee withdrew and urged party unity. His voice shaking with emotion, the 33-year old Smith accepted “with great pleasure” the task of trying to unseat the three-term incumbent Republican congressman who has never lost a race in a political career that spans nearly three decades. Smith’s nomination was sewed up last month when his count of delegates topped a simple majority. Peaslee’s move was DAVID SMITH widely expected at the district Democratic party convention held May 19 at Rappahannock County High School, but jt delegates clearly appreciated Peaslee’s conciliatory speech, applauding wildly at its conclusion and lauding the Charlottesville lawyer afterwards. Slaughter was nominated by Republicans May 12 in Charlottesville. Democrats this year held district conventions but elected not to have a state convention. The decision robbed Nancy Spannaus, a follower of extremist Lyndon LaRouche, an opportunity to fight for the Democratic nomination to challenge U.S. Sen. John Warner. The mood in the high school auditorium on Saturday was hopeful. “I saw fire in their eyes,” Smith said after his speech. “I think everybody is very upbeat,” Seventh District Democratic Committee chairman George Gilliam said later. “I think there is a feeling French Slaughter may be ripe for an upset. ” “There hasn’t been this kind of optimism since Lou Costello ran,” said William Barr, chairman of the Fauquier County Democratic Committee. Slaughter gave Costello a drubbing in the 1984 congressional election for the seat left open when Republican J. Kenneth Robinson retired. The incumbent Republican has not been challenged for the seat since. Even those who retain skepticism See SMITH, p. 16 Little Apple prepares for spring kick-off By LISA G. CURRIE .jyv** i Rappahannock News Staff Writer As Sperryville shopkeepers and merchants prepare for their annual Spring Festival, May 26-28, county and state law officials offer suggestions to keep the weekend safe and enjoyable for everyone. Virginia State Trooper R.E. Keen reminds travelers and local motorists this is the first weekend of the summer, one known for vacationers and heavy traffic. “Everyone wants to get out,” he said, adding everyone can do so and with pleasant memories if a few safety suggestions are followed. “Don’t drink and drive,” he said, adding motorists should wear seat belts, keep children under four or 40 pounds in child-restraint seats and obey highway signs. In Rappahannock County, Sheriff John Henry Woodward reminds residents that Sperryville’s Main Street is closed Saturday through Monday for the an nual celebration, creating new traffic patterns and more pedestrians for motorists to be cautious of. Shoppers, spectators and those searching for a bite to eat will need to walk between the Sperryville Corner Store and the bridge at the intersection of U.S. 522 south and U.S. 211 west. Before noon Saturday, the road up to the Sperryville Post Office will allow motor traffic. After noon, “the street will be blocked to the store,” the sheriff reports, adding traffic traveling north on U.S. 522 will be uninterrupted, continuing past the caution light and along the stop sign at the intersection of U.S. 211. Parking is available at That Sperryville Emporium and The Old Way Craft Village or at Horseshoe Hills. “No parking along U.S. 211 or U.S. 522,” he said. See FESTIVAL, p. 15 Golf course project still alive Dr. Rish seeks land to allow additional houses By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer No action was required of the Planning Commission at its May meeting last Wednesday. The application for a campground by the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association was withdrawn at the owner’s request, and County Administrator John McCarthy reported the owners told him they would look for another site outside Rappahannock County. Mr. McCarthy reported to the planners on the Fox Creek County Club application. Dr. Berkley Rish is still interested in developing the club, he said. He is trying to acquire additional land to increase the density of houses allowed on the tract. As a result of a slope analysis of the site, Dr. Rish found he is only allowed four lots on the 138-acre property. Once the density is reduced because of the amount of land in slopes of 25 percent of greater, only 110 acres remains for calculating density at the rate of one lot for each 25 acres, Mr. McCarthy explained. The county administrator said Dr. Rish is trying to acquire another 15 acres from his sister and brotherin-law, who own the adjoining property. Also, Mr. McCarthy told the planners, Dr. Rish is negotiating with the owners of two adjacent five-acre building lots.

Eidson finished sixth in the3,200 meter run at the regional meet in Fluvanna with a time of 10:32, his second-best time ever. Sprinter Susie Deairing made the regional finals in the 100 meter dash but finished seventh, 1/10 second off a bid to the state meet.

VSP urges travellers to take care, buckle up “Buckle Up, America!” Week will be observed in Virginia May 21 to 28, and the Virginia State Police encourage all drivers and passengers to use their safety belts and to buckle up children properly in child safety seats. To underscore the message, troopers are displaying “Buckle Up” bumper stickers on their patrol cars. The national and state observance of Buckle Up Week includes the Memorial Day holiday, the traditional start of summer travel. The VSP’s public awareness effort is designed to raise the nation’s consciousness about the benefits of safety belt use, according to State Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell. During the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Virginia State Police will participate in Operation CARE, an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort. CARE is a state-sponsored national effort to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries during the nuyor holiday periods of Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day. In Virginia, the State Police participate in Operation CARE, Ms. Caldwell explained, by increasing the number of patrols on the most heavily travelled roads in the Commonwealth. For statistical purposes, the CARE Memorial Day weekend begins at 6 p.m., Friday, May 25 and ends at midnight, Monday, May 28. “Troopers need the help of all motorists in promoting safe driving, not only on holiday weekends, but every day,” said Col. W.F. Corvello, VSP Superintendent. '‘Wearing safety belts, observing posted speed limits and never mixing drinking and driving are three ways the public can help make traveling in Virginia safer.” Last year, 16 people died as a result of Memorial Day weekend accidents on Virginia highways. One crash claimed three lives, while another involved a youth on a bicycle. Of the 16 fatalities, 11 of the victims were not wearing safety belts. Alcohol was conclusively determined to be a factor in two of the deaths. Last year, Virginia State Police troopers patrolled 165,920 miles during the Memorial Day holiday, assisted 2,884 motorists and issued 5,308 summonses. The violations included 3,421 speeding citations, 606 reckless driving, 134 driving under the influence and 776 for other hazardous violations. The theme for the 1990 observance is “Belts and Bags -- a Winning Combination.” The theme, according to spokeswoman Caldwell, underscores the importance of safety belts in all vehicles, including the newer models that are also equipped with air bags. “Used together, safety belts and air bags offer the best protection on the road,” she said. Traffic accidents continue to be the number one cause of death for Americans between the ages of one and 34. Last year, 998 people died in Virginia as the result of motor vehicle accidents.

Jefferson's retreat open to public tours Forest, Va. — On the first Saturday of each month through October, visitors to Thomas Jefferson’s home at Poplar Forest will have the opportunity to meet and talk with staff archaeologists at the Bedford County landmark. Beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 12 visitors may meet archaeologists at current excavation sites for an update on their findings and to ask questions about their work. Samples of artifacts from the excavations will be on display. The program will continue on July 7, Aug. 4, Sept. 1 and Oct. 6. Regular admission fees for visiting the property will be charged. The admission fees for visitors who want to see the house and grounds are $5 for adults, $4 for senior citizens, $2 for students age 19 and older, and $1 for youth ages 6 to 18.

Archaeological excavations at the third president’s Bedford County retreat began last year. The archaeologists’ findings will provide crucial information needed to restore the buildings and grounds to the way they were in Jefferson’s lifetime. Jefferson owned his Bedford County plantation from 1773 until his death in 1826. In 1806 he began building his unique octagonal house — a house designed to accommodate Jefferson, the private citizen. The historic property now is owned by a non-profit corporation that is raising money to restore it. Poplar Forest is open for tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and major holidays until the end of October. <EIje l\appaljannocb J}etuS offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. Destination $5.00 - first sheet $2.00 - each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00 - first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet ftappaljatinocb ii ctus Main St. Washington, VA 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 Whirlpool > Quiet Miser™ ^ Room Air Conditioner 1 _‘ — mnrimRl / » V Model ACQ062XW Whirlpool ▼ V Whirlpool Quiet NJiser* Room Air Conditioner Model ACQ062XW • 6,000 BTU/Hr.

X Four county roads become scenic byways Four roads that wind through the countryside of Rappahannock County have been designated Virginia Byways by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The new byways include Fodderstack Road (routes 628, 606 and 641) between historic Washington, Va., and Flint Hill and Route 647 between Flint Hill and Route 637 at the Rappahannock-Fauquier County .lines. Naming a road a byway recognizes its historic, scenic or recreational importance. Byways are identified on the Virginia state map published by the Virginia Department of Transportation. Motorists are encouraged to use byways for scenic and enjoyable drives away from busier thoroughfares. > The new byways form a continuous 11-mile route that connects the two Rappahannock County commu,’nities with Marshall in Fauquier ;County. ' They travel the Upper Piedmont •of northeastern Rappahannock 'County and have been long reeog,'nized for both their scenic qualities !as well as their historical importance.

According to CSC Director Sallie Morgan, there are 18,199 persons over 60 years of age in the five counties of Planning District 9. Those counties, Rappahannock, Madison, Orange, Culpeper and Fauquier, are the same counties served by the Community Services Center. Of that number, 1,200 live in Rappahannock County, representing nearly 20 percent of the county’s 6,200 population, according to Mrs. Morgan. That, she noted, is well above the national average of 12 percent of the population over 60 years. The Community Services Center is one of 21 regional boards across the state, and are part of the Virginia Department for the Aging. They are charged with administering a wide range of services for older Virginians. “Our job is to see that the needs of our residents over 60 years of age are met,” Mrs. Morgan explained. “We serve that whole population — we do the best we can to provide services which will allow them to remain in their own home.” That focus, to provide assistance where necessary to allow seniors to continue to live independently rather than enter a nursing home or other facility, is the chief mission of CSC. “The majority of our services are focused on those most at risk of being removed from the community to an institutionalized setting.” Those services can range from home visits by peers from the Retired Senior Volunteers Program, who make informal visits to check and make sure the resident is well, to the three times weekly meal offered at the Senior Nutrition Site, to financial assistance for certain services to those with limited income. The Senior Nutrition Site is but one example of the focus of the programs. It allows seniors, who often live along and suffer from loneliness and depression, a chance to get out an visit with their friends — and at the same time have a nutritious, hot meal. In the elderly who live alone, nutrition is often neglected, Mrs. Morgan said, and if it can be sustained, other health problems are sometimes avoided. And, she added, the human contact provides them with “socialization” which is often as important as the hot meal. For those too infirm to get to the site, RSVP also offers home-delivered meals. That service, according to RSVP coordinator Jeanie McNear, is often used by those just home from hospitals who need time to recuperate. For seniors unable to do other chores at home, Mrs. McNear added, the CSC can also provide home service aides who can come into the home and do light cleaning and other housework, as well as provide personal care for those seniors unable to care for themselves. That service is one which is constantly falling short of the demand, she said. “It’s difficult to find volunteer aides to do that work . . . the schedule is tight, but we still do referrals anyway. Things can change.” Where possible, the CSC works closely with the county’s Department of Social Services to combine programs and avoid duplication of services. “The volunteers are invaluable,” said Social Services aging specialist Nancy Reeve. “Many people would never be able to stay in their homes without help.” The assistance can range from just stopping by to check in on the resident, to coming in and preparing hot meals. That simple personal contact can often be as important as the services provided by the aides, Mrs. Morgan stressed. “The contact with other humans is what keeps them going,” Mrs. Reeve agreed. And sometimes, the Department of Social Services provides leads for the CSC staff through its own procedures. Mrs. Morgan told of one individual who was evaluated by a Social Services employee and found to have a visual handicap. Through the RSVP program, transportation was arranged for doctor’s appointments and surgery to remove cataracts, and that individual is now back in his own home and able to take care of himself. That, Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Reeve explained, is only one example of the close cooperation between the agencies which goes on all the time. “Senior advocates place an emphasis on assessment. They spend several hours with each client, and often pick up on problems missed by cursory examinations,” Mrs. Morgan said. “Rappahannock is unique,” Mrs. McNear added, “because people know people from generations past. And, newcomers move in and meet their neighbors. That keeps continuity.” ) v*e a CRAFT VILLA! 'ZTht’Jndustrul^irkjor? SHEA/^.

To reach its administrative office, call 825-3100. Among its services: • A just-published booklet on resources available to seniors in the service area. This 250-page book, which includes listings of stores which provide delivery services as well as programs provided by both public and private agencies, in available through the CSC office. The cost is $12, although assistance is available for those with limited income. • CSC Transit (825-6494): A regular transportation service linking the towns within the service area. • Retired Senior Volunteer Program (675-3329): Coordinated by Jeanie McNear, this program pairs volunteers with clients who require a wide range of services, from transportation to doctor’s appointments to in-home meal preparation. Volunteers receive mileage reimbursement. • Senior Nutrition Program (675-3329): Located at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, this program provides a hot noontime meal for seniors three times each week, as well as fellowship with the other seniors who participate. • Adult Day Program (Warrenton only, 347-9211): Provides day care for the elderly. Although this program is presently at capacity, Sallie Morgan said they hope to expand soon. • Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock (675-3329): The counseling arm of the CSC, it provides mental health resources to all residents of Rappahannock County. Services are available on a sliding scale based on income. The Rappahannock County Department of Social Services is located on Gay St. in Washington. It also provides a variety of services, including home companion and home care aides, as well as financial assistance for heating and cooling bills and some other expenses. Some programs have income eligibility criteria, while others are open to all applicants. For more information, contact Nancy Reeve (6753313). I But, Mrs. Morgan added, “newcomers don’t always know about services.” And one of the barriers Social Services faces, Mrs. Reeve pointed out, “is that we still carry the stigma of the “welfare’ department. People only call on us as a last resort —- and often by that time the situation is out of control. The secret is to get intervention early.” J One thing that all three agreed on is that, as the population continues to age, there will be a continuing increase in the demand for services for seniors. And, without increased participation by the community, the ability of the Community Services Center and Social Services to meet the need will be stretched even farther. “We always need volunteers,” Mrs. Morgan said. Buses short of drivers The Rappahannock County school system has been having trouble finding enough substitute bus drivers to keep all the regular runs going and has even had to cancel or postppne field trips. “We have had a peculiar situation,” Superintendent David Gangel said Tuesday. “We had two drivers who had non-school related injuries that prevented them from driving and we had another who resigned. There was also a medical emergency in the family of one driver.” Added to that, Dr. Gangel continued, “There were two substitutes who couldn’t help out. One was traveling and unavailable and the other took a full-time job elsewhere. Without full staff we had to double runs for three days.” The system is back to a regular schedule for bus runs with one regular driver still unable to drive, he said. — Sharon Kilpatrick You're Invited To perryville’s \^W MEMORIAL DAY FESTIVAL ^ May 26,27 & 26—10 a. m.-6 p.m. • Carriage Rides by Journey End Carriage Rides of Amissville • Basket Weaving Demonstrations 1 • Special Antique Sales • Special Furniture Sales • Cival War Encampments — Sharp Shooters • Catalog Closeouts • Live Entertainment • Pony Rides • Games for Children • Blowpipe Glassblowing • Arts & Crafts Demonstrations • Chili Cook-Off and Big Tex Superride I* Homemade Food throughout the town W • High-On-The-Hog Pig Roast ^ • Wine Tasting • VA Ham Sandwiches • Bar-B-Q Festival Sponsored by: ^ \ SPERRYVILLE BUSINESS COUNCIL (New brochure available) c Come Enjoy Our Scenic Town and Help Us Celebrate the Beauty o/W CnriHa in fi! ti£> ffisio# nurttninc ' * Spring in the Blue Ridge Mountains For more information call 703-987-8235, days or 703-987-8058, evenings Directions: Sperryville is 28 miles West ofWarrenton on Hwy. 211 BLEU ROCK INN Wi The owners and staff of Bleu Rock Inn are pleased to announce we are now open for business.

Tfw Audit Bureau THURSDAY, MAY 24,1990 Senior services We salute the contributions made by our senior citizens, not only during Older Americans Month, but the whole year through. Without the faithful volunteers who staff the Retired Senior Volunteers Program, which provides transportation, home visits to the infirm, and the senior nutrition site, many of the county’s senior citizens would not be able to maintain the independent lifestyle they now enjoy. That is the goal of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center, which oversees services for the aging in the five counties of Planning District 9. Though its services are available to anyone over the age of 60, its focus is on those most at risk of being removed from the community and placed in an institutional setting. Though the CSC is staffed by paid workers, much of the transportation and home visitation is supplied by volunteer seniors, who donate their time to help their less fortunate peers. They give thousands of hours a year to take others to doctor’s appointments, to the grocery store or pharmacy, or to just stop by to make sure there is food in the pantry and wood on the porch. v And, the Community Services Center offers other programs for seniors as well, ranging from heating and cooling assistance to help pay electric and fuel bills, help for those with vision and hearing problems, and a transit service to get seniors from one town to another. Many of our seniors also take advantage of the local Senior Nutrition Sites, where they gather with others to enjoy a hot meal and fellowship at noontime. These are all state programs, but their heart and spirit is provided by the volunteers who assist with the programs. Though they are seldom recognized, their contribution is ; invaluable and appreciated. i-— Rappahannock's representatives Listed below are the names, addresses and telephone numbers of Rappahannock County’s elected representatives in the Virginia General Assembly.

Letters to the editor Senior volunteers share wisdom, build communities i o me euaor: May is Older Americans Month, an appropriate time for our nation to focus on providing opportunities for older citizens to serve in their communities. The time for promoting service by seniors has never been better. Older Americans are the fastestgrowing segment of our population; they are healthier and more active than ever before. ACTION’S Older American Volunteer Programs — the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), the Foster Grandparent Program and the Senior Companion Program — have played a pioneering role in assuring that senior citizens are full participants in our society, applying their wealth of wisdom and experience as they help build their communities. President Bush often says that, “any definition of a successful life must include serving others,” a concept exemplified by ACTION’S 435.000 older volunteers, who last year gave our country more than 100 million hours of service. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary year, the Foster Grandparent Program brings love and care to 72.000 children with special and exceptional needs. Foster Grandparent volunteers make vital contributions to mentally retarded children, youngsters who are emotionally disturbed or leaming-dis Ir&o ahead/ SAY. THE "T » WORD no/ I promised/^ YOU SAY IT!! BUDGET SUMIT /'Tthought you fellows WERE GONNA HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT/ NOW GET , TO IT OR YOU'LL "T"ME OFF/ abled and youth who suffer from abuse or neglect. RSVP volunteers are engaged in a great range of social services, assisting literacy projects, food banks, homeless shelters, libraries and schools, to name but a few areas of involvement. More than one-third of our RSVP volunteers serve with programs for young people, demonstrating, as do Foster Grandparent volunteers, the great value of intergenerational volunteering. Since 1974, Senior Companion Program volunteers have given care and companionship to other seniors. Lending crucial support to Alzheimer’s care projects, hospitals, hospices and the homebound elderly, Senior Companions help enable thousands of their neighbors to remain at home and avoid institutional care. In a milestone project sponsored in partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind, visually impaired Senior Companions are assisting other blind and visually impaired older people. During Older Americans Month, I urge all Americans to express support for older volunteers by honoring their many contributions to our country’s future. JANE A. KENNY Director, ACTION Washington, D.C.

LATHAM Rappahannock Loan Closet President Washington Sav 'No' to the Inn To the editor: Let me tell you about the area I left to relocate to Rappahannock County in March, 1988: Femandina Beach is located on Amelia Island in Nassan County on Florida’s Northeast Coast. Poor access and cold winters kept Amelia Island “undiscovered” until the early 1970’s, except for a modest number of tourists from Georgia during the summer months and a “Shrimp Festival” one weekend each year, which featured seafood, arts and crafts. One could drive the length of this barrier Island on A1A, Florida’s coastal highway, and have an almost uninterrupted view of sanddunes, beach and ocean. Cars and trucks were permitted on the entire beach span, facilitating surf and shark fishing, horseshoes, volleyball, surfing, picnics and shark tooth hunting. Local politicians and the Chamber of Commerce decided that development was needed to “broaden the tax base,” and the Amelia Island Plantation was allowed to build at the uninhabited south end of the Island. This massive development included golf courses, tennis facilities, inns, housing sites and condominiums for the very wealthy. The original project was stalled by recession but boomed and expanded as the economy improved. Any resemblence between Amelia Island then and now is purely coincidental. The island is now jam packed with fast food outlets, convenience stores, filling stations and shopping centers. The quaint old intracoastal marina has been replaced with a new one with rates so high that long term local users were forced to dock their boats elsewhere. The beach is closed to vehicles except for one short section for which an annual permit must be purchased, and property owners at the Plantation and other subsequent developments are trying annually to close that section to traffic too, while limiting pedestrain access to designated locations, thereby establishing their own de facto private beaches. The ocean can hardly be seen from A1A now, as houses and high rise condominiums block the view on nearly every available space. Increased traffic has tripled the time it used to take to drive through town. r How about taxes? They went up, not down. Expanded and new roads, additional police, schools, teachers, r traffic lights and other services be- ; came necessary as residents and tourists increased. Bitter divisions have grown between long time resi- >' dents and newcomers. In just 15 ; years I watched the island lose or re- ' strict most of the aesthetic attrac- ; tions that had drawn me there. It can’t happen here? That’s what we said when Amelia Island was beautiful, uncluttered and unspoiled ' as Rappahannock County is today. [ My wife and I felt so fortunate to ; find a home in this wonderful county; ; with it’s rolling hills, farmland, hard- • wood forests, sweeping mountain ■ views, bountiful wildlife and small communities, unplagued by the unchecked development we left be- ; hind. We also love “Little Washing- « ton,” having married at the Court- ! house in 1988. We’ve enjoyed Independence Day celebrations with * local residents in Washington both * years since moving here. We both feel that the proposed expansion of the Inn at Little Washington would be a step in the wrong direction for Washington and the county. How do you stop granting zoning exceptions once you start allowing them? How many developers are following this controversy with dollar signs in their eyes, picturing mountain top resorts, hotels, shopping centers or subdivisions where we presently enjoy natural postcard settings? I realize that I’m still an “outlander” myself, as Jack Kilpatrick put it, by virtue of my short-term residency here, but it would break my heart to see Washington or Rappahannock County ruined in the same way that Femandina Beach was in 15 years’ time. , Once developers and expansionists get their feet in the door, they want to redecorate the whole house. I hope that other residents, particularly those with some established influence here, will lock the door before the foot gets inside by saying “No” to the proposed expansion of the Inn.

The students left their classes a little after 9 a.m. and congregated on the baseball field. Some had signs with “Save Our Teachers” and “Students For Quality Education” written on them, and all were attentive as Jon and Jim McCullough spoke about the reasons for the walkout.

In the tradition of Charles Robb, who used surplus inaugural monies to form a so-called “Chuck PAC,” Wilder made money from the ceremonies and now has the right to use them in any fashion he wishes. Common Cause, other groups and some editorial writers are disturbed that Gov. Wilder won’t release a list of all those who bought high priced tickets to inaugural galas and provided other funding leading up to his historic swearing in as chief executive. Before I create the impression of being insensitive to ethical considerations in politics, let me say I generally admire and support calls for fuller disclosure of campaign contributions and expenditures, personal assets of public officials and where they come from and, to some extent, tighter limits on donations to Virginia seekers of elected office. Yet having spent many years roaming the halls of the State Capitol and the rest of the state beyond “The Holy City” watching politicians and lobbyists at work, I seldom got the slightest whiff of any corruption of the process. Unlike a certain neighboring state where the former three-term governor is going to the slammer for taking bribes, seldom is coin of the realm passed directly and illegally in Virginia for the personal profit of elected or appointed officials. And that’s at least one tradition worth maintaining. Not to say, however, that politicians in Virginia don’t actively solicit contributions to such favorite causes as their re-election committee or their political party. Send in a few bucks and your address to a politician or a party and soon your mailbox may be brimming over with computerized pleas empty your Old Dominion '0ft J|li iter " > ■' Politics ' r ^ V-l pockets for the sake of good government. Yet to Common Cause and some other groups the bogeyman appears to be those special interest groups that are often represented by PAC’s and lobbyists. I have met and been on friendly terms with dozens of lobbyists who operate in Virginia and think I have learned something about how they think and react. It’s true, for example, that lobbyists for powerful interest groups paid thousands of dollars for tables at the Wilder inaugural gala. Their money got them the opportunity to drink champagne and try to dance in an overcrowded hall and to mingle with people they can mingle with at the State Capitol many days of the year for free. The point is that in most cases lobbyists for interest groups don’t give their money to politicians to have them do something for them, but to avoid having something done to them. Lobbyists are supplicants at the political table who have to keep up with the Jones’ — namely their fellow lobbyists. They bought tables for the galas basically to make sure that Gov. Wilder and his lieutenants would know they anted up. They didn’t want to be conspicious by their absence from the lists of those who kicked in to properly celebrate the entrance of a new governor onto the scene. I talk to one lobbyist friend regularly who is typical of the species. He represents an affluent business group which budgets fairly large sums each year to entertain politicians and contribute to their campaigns. There are several recurring measures his industry doesn’t want enacted and his job is to prevent their passage. Yet this particular lobbyist, a veteran of the Richmond scene, thinks things have gotten out of hand. “It used to be that you could donate a few hundred dollars and be thought well of for it. But now that’s chickenfeed. Give less than $500 and you’re considered a piker.” Not only that, says the lobbyist, but there are more hands than ever reaching out for the cash. ‘The Republican and Democratic caucuses have more and more receptions or golf tournaments or whatever and you’re expected to buy your fair share of tickets. Hell, I buy 10 tickets at a hundred bucks a throw to a reception and end up using only a couple of them. That means we’re paying a thousand dollars for a couple of drinks and a few pieces of shrimp.” The lobbyist says members of his board of directors sometimes question the escalating cost of being kind to politicians and, “I have to try to educate them. The public interest groups and the press think we’re people who are anxious to shovel money at politicians and beg them to take it. But it works the other way. The politicians come up with new ways all the time to dig deeper into our pockets.” Unlike federal election laws and the laws of some other states, the sky’s the limit when it comes to political contributions in Virginia. Fitting a limit on how much any individual or group could give in a specified period would be one way of forcing politicians, particularly incumbents, to try to broaden their appeals for donations instead of focusing mainly on well-heeled contributors. Again the fact is that the largest contributions to seekers of state office come from wealthy individuals rather than special interest groups. In last year’s gubernatorial campaign, just a couple of people gave a total of more than $400,000 to gubernatorial candidates from their own funds. Special interest groups have to spread the wealth among many politicians to cover their bets. Said the lobbyist friend, “When there’s an election, I sit down and look at who’s running and what they stand for and then decide how much to give to who. In some cases to someone who’s a good friend of ours or very important to us, we may give a thousand. But usually we give less than that. And I can tell you that it doesn’t buy any more than a thank you note. Lots of time someone we gave money to will vote against us on bills we set as priorities and then come back and ask for more contributions later.” So while Gov. Wilder probably should let the public in on the names of those who made his inaugural gala a huge success, there’s little likelihood he thinks he owes any special consideration to those who chipped in. And besides that, those who follow state politics already pretty well know who bought all those tickets. They’re the usual suspects.

Throughout this century, World War 1, World War II, Korea and Vietnam have claimed the lives of countless men and women who had not yet begun to live. The blood they shed and the tears of loved ones left behind contributed to the stream of democracy and justice which flows through every city and town in this great country of ours. This Memorial Day, • whether we celebrate or just relax at home, it would be fitting to remember and to honor those brave and selfless men and women who are not among us today. In addition, throughout the year may we exercise those rights for which they died, that they did not die in vain. Let us pray that all nations will be moved to solve their differences through negotiation rather than war, so that future lives might be spared.

Weather balloon found An experiment in high altitude winds came to a successful conclusion with the discovery of a balloon ■ launched by a fifth-grader in Waynesboro. The balloon was found on the side of Pignut Mountain outside Washington by Garry and Sonrisa Charles, who were out for a walk in ■ ‘ the woods. It was launched by Irene ‘ Kaufman, who attends Shenandoah Heights Elementary School, on .March 16. The balloon was found on April 25. Mrs. Charles said she called the school, which was identified by a card attached to the balloon, and they were “thrilled.” She was only the second person who had called to report finding one of the balloons, which were launched as part of a f 'class project on meteorology. The ; class wanted to find out in what $j rection, and how far, the balloons ! would be carried by air currents in ! ’ the upper air. She said the person she talked to ; at the school told her that a terrible | thunderstorm had roared through ? ( Waynesboro the evening after the balloons were launched, and most were feared lost. “It’s amazing that the balloon made it down to the ground,” Mrs. Charles said. “The trees on that mountain are about 200 years old and very tall.” Not to mention, she added, that the balloon travelled nearly 100 miles from Waynesboro and then made it over the Blue Ridge Mountains at all. “It had to be at least 4,000 to 5,000 feet up just to clear the mountain range.” It's Not Too Late To Register For Summer Classes At The Fauquier Center (The Barn!)

Acid in berries may slow cancer Scientists are working to increase an organic acid in strawberries that medical studies show inhibits the start of cancer caused by some chemicals. A purified, commercially made version of the acid has been used by medical researchers in cancer studies of rats. It’s been known for some time that strawberry roots, leaves and fruit contain organic ellagic acid. The scientists are looking at the genetics of the acid to find out how it’s inherited so that plants can be bred for higher levels. A “considerable amount of ellagic acid” was found in tests with 40 strawberry varieties, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture researcher. It is estimated that an ounce of ellagic acid could be found in 25 pounds of strawberries. Right now, it isn’t know what dietary intake of ellagic is needed to be effective. It is known that there is a significant amount of the acid in a strawberry but there is no way to know how much is needed to produce beneficial results, the researcher said. It’s likely that the natural acid found in fruits could be effective ftgainst certain carcinogens. Testing at the Agricultural Research Service fruit laboratory at Beltsville, Md., has shown the compound is found in blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries and grapes and in various nuts, including Brazil nuts and cashews. ( Several varieties of apples are • being tested for their ellagic acid content. , The acid prevents procarcino- " gens from breaking down and may 1 act as a trapping agent for carcino- • genic metabolites. Purified ellagic acid, used medically to slow blood clotting time, ap- ' pears to be effective against for classes of chemical carcinogens: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrosamine, aflatoxin and aromatic amines.

It's strawberry season By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Strawberries, those luscious delights of spring and summer, are waiting to be picked and savored. Strawberries are in season from late May through mid-June. Strawberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C, with one cup supplying about 150 percent of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for the average adult. One of the nicest things about strawberries is that a whole cup has only 60 calories. Sweet, plump and juicy strawberries are a delicious, low-calorie addition to reducing diets. Picking Select strawberries with a full red color and a bright luster, firm flesh and with the cap stem still attached. To pick strawberries, always break the stem by pinching between the thumb and forefinger. Pulling the beiry from the plant can bruise the fruit, loosen the cap or damage the plant. Loosening or removal of the cap causes loss of moisture and rapid deterioration. If you ei\joy picking your own berries, there are several pick-yourown farms within a short driving distance. If you would like a copy of the “Pick-Your-Own Berry Guide” by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, they are available at the Extension Office. For those who enjoy picking their own, be sure that basic planning has included what is to be done with the berries once they are picked. Of course, “fresh” is always best. Bi|f, it is often desirable to save part of the season, too, by freezing or by making jam or preserves. Berries are by nature fragile, meaning they need tender loving care in transporting from the field to the home. If carried in the trunk of a car with the lid down, the berries are likely to be cooked into jam be fore their arrival. Transport berries in small containers, being careful not to overcrowd. Place the picked berries in the least warm and airy a location as possible. Carry them home and enjoy them as soon as possible. Handling & Storage Refrigerate berries as quickly as possible. The removal of field heat will slow the ripening process. Consume fresh or process within two or three days. Wash berries in cold water a few at a time before removing caps. If capped before washing, flavor, juice and nutrients are lost. Freezing Strawberries Wash berries and remove cap stems. Slice berries into a large mea suring cup or bowl. A quart of fresh berries will yield about 1 1/2 pints of frozen berries.

The ambitious outreach program, undertaken last year by the LFCC Foundation, will bring computer training wherever it is needed, according to Foundation Chairwoman Patricia Saltonstall. “This is a tremendous resource for rural counties,” she said of the 36foot long van, which has 14 fullyequipped computer stations. It will be staffed by LFCC’s top computer trainers, she added. The van is available to any business or organization in the area, Mrs. Saltonstall said. “It might be a work site, a rural volunteer fire department or rescue squad, a church parish, a rural literacy project, a small business — or even a large one with several employee shifts and a need to train some of them to use computers.” The hardware and software for the computer stations was donated to LFCC by Potomac Edison Co., which has taken a leading role in bringing computer technology to the schools in its service area, including Rappahannock County’s public schools. “We couldn’t have gotten this far without Potomac Edison, which gave us all the computer equipment,” said Linda Dietel, another Rappahannock County resident who is heading the Foundation’s fundraising project. The mobile computer lab is scheduled for delivery in August, just in time for the fall semester. SPECIAL! Make this a family summer - SAVE like never before!

Little League in full swing Following the ceremony on May 21 officially opening Stuart Field in Amissville, the players took to the diamond to begin Little League action. The I-Deal Lawn Service Tigers took the t-ball game against the Smith Brothers Dragons in a slugfest, 36-19. The Bambino Minor League game was called due to darkness with the Rappahannock Construction Co. Cougars leading in the third inning, 14-5 against the Athletics, sponsored by Drs. Yung and Jelinek, D.D.S. Blue Jays 17, Mets 1 The Babe Ruth teams got their season underway with an opening win by the Blue Jays, sponsored by Maw and Paw Country Store, taking a 17-1 victory over the K&W Landscaping Mets. The victory was sparked by the superb pitching of Matthew Ketchem, who threw 14 strikeouts for the Blue Jays in five innings - a near-perfect streak. Yankees 21, Astros 3 On Friday at the Ronnie Pullen Memorial Stadium at Horseshoe Hills, the Yankees flexed their offensive muscle against the Astros of the Eastern Division, beating the visitors 21-3. Jeff Atkins opened the Yankees’ outburst with a home run and added a triple later in the 14-run first in ning. Nearly every Yankee had a hit, with Atkins, Donald Dorrell, Mark Jenkins and Tim O’Meara collecting three hits each. Jenkins contributed a grand slam homer, Dorrell added two more round-trippers, and O’Meara also had two home runs as the Yankees hit a season high with five four-baggers in that wild first inning. Alan Groves pitched three scoreless innings en route to the victory and O’Meara came on in relief to preserve the win. The Astros were unable to get any offense going against the strong Yankee pitching. Tony Fotenos, Chris Dodson, Andy Grimsley and Charlie Snead each tried to start a rally after reaching base, but three times were erased by the strong arm and aggressive play of Yankee catcher Jeff Atkins. The turnout of boosters for the game was good, reported coach Donald Dorrell, “but parents and friends of the league’s players are urged to continue to support the league as the season’s excitement is just starting to build.” Mike Gilkey was in uniform and on the bench for the Yankees, rooting for his teammates after suffering a broken arm last week. “Thanks Mike, for your support,'’ Mr. Dorrell said, “and we all wish you a speedy recovery. The Yankees certainly miss you in the lineup.” Blazers 19, Red Sox 18 f6e Poot * Authentic Native American Arts & Crafts Presents A Three Day Memorial Day Celebration MAY 26TH, 27TH & 28TH 9AM-6PM Cordially invites you to meet ABRAHAM BEGAY Navajo Master Silversmith Abraham's jewelry designs are poetry come alive through silver.

Bryan Parker led the comeback with a dramatic two-run homer with two outs to put the Blazers ahead and secure the victory for the home team. It was Parker’s second home run of the evening. Teammates Danny McGuire, Austin Griffith, Daryl Scott, Chris Hunsberger, Mike Stringfellow and Stephen Hood all joined in the comeback with fine hitting. Austin Griffith also made a standout defensive effort in center field, robbing the Red Sox of a potential long extra-base hit. The Red Sox were able to score early and maintain their lead until the sixth on several walks, defensive errors and wild throws by the Blazers. On the bright side for the Red Sox, their centerfielder Eddie Sause made the play of the game in the early innings with a spectacular running over-the-shoulder catch to rob the Blazers of a seemingly certain home run. James Eastham also gave the Red Sox a fine performance on the mound, but he tired in the late innings. The Blazers showed a great desire to win, never giving up and overcoming their early wildness to ice the game in the final frame. All Rappahannock Athletic Association Little League games begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. Games are played at Stuart Field on U.S. 211 in Amissville, at Rappahannock County Elementary School, and at the Ronnie Pullen Memorial Stadium at Horseshoe Hills on U.S. 211 west of Sperryville.

Equal Opportunity Employer M/MW Planners Continued from page 1 Mr. McCarthy said Dr. Rish is interested in learning whether the planners would allow him to add the two houses allowed on those tracts to the houses allowed on the rest of the land if he combined the land with the land he already owns. The Planning Commission members indicated they felt that those lots could be built on only if the lot lines stayed as they are. If the land parcels were combined, the density of one lot per 25 acres would apply. Planners were concerned about the water demand of a golf course and the use of chemicals, but Mr. McCarthy said Dr. Rish was interested in clearing up first the question of how many houses could be built. “That’s of most importance to his investors,” Mr. McCarthy said. “I’ve looked into the chemicals,” Sid Gottlieb, who represents the Board of Zoning Appeals on the Planning Commission, said. “Managing a golf course is like having a chemical factory running all day. It uses 10 times as much chemicals as a farmer would use.” “It’s an intensive use, much more so than agriculture,” supervisors’ representative Mike Massie agreed. Mr. McCarthy said Dr. Rish also felt he could fit all 18 holes of the golf course onto the portion of the property zoned for agriculture and would not need a zoning amendment to allow a golf course on conservation land. “He will be back for a decision,” Mr. McCarthy said. Finally, the planners heard from Roger Tomeden, who has not filed a formal application, but wanted to know how the commission members felt about various alternatives for subdividing land he owns near Flint Hill. Mr. Tomeden owns a 225-acre parcel on Fogg Mountain he bought from Herbert Barksdale. He has an adjoining 53-acre parcel acquired separately from Mr. Barksdale and a 21-acre landlocked parcel acquired from an estate “with about 225 heirs,” he said. In 1979 Mr. Tomeden donated a scenic easement on the 225-acre parcel to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. This restricted development on the land to no more than three lots of at least 75 acres each. Mr. Tomeden said that if the scenic easement were discounted and slope was considered, he would be entitled to nine lots on all of this land. He asked if the planners would consider letting him subdivide into eight lots, with five of them being on the 53-acre parcel. He would be, in a sense, transferring the development rights he gave up when he donated the scenic easement on to the 53acre parcel, he explained. “Can he transfer density from the Virginia Outdoors Foundation to the 53 acres?” Jackson District representative David Fannon asked. “Can density be transferred? I think it’s a problem,” Mr. McCarthy said. “I think this is going down the wrong road,” Wakefield representative Werner Krebser said. “It looks like you’ve got six lots, and you want to get eight lots,” Mr. Massie said. He figured that three would be allowed on the 225 acres, one would be allowed in the 21-acre lot which preceded any zoning ordinances, and two would be allowed on the 53-acre parcel. Mr. Massie noted that the property has been on the market for a year and a half. “I wanted a buyer who would keep it in one tract,” Mr. Tomeden said. “After holding it for 18 years, I didn’t want to turn it over to a developer at wholesale prices.” “The easement scared off developers,” Mr. Massie speculated. “The market is soft,” Dr. Krebser commented. “A real small piece will sell, but not a big tract,” Hampton District representative John Clark Jr., said. “It looks like you have a maximum of six lots, whether you cluster or not,” Mr. Fannon said. “If the deed were not on, and you were going to put it on, you could probably get it.” Mr. Tomeden then asked the planners if they would consider rezoning the 53 acres to R-5. Mr. McCarthy told him there is a lot of R-2 and R-5 zoned land around Flint Hill that has not been developed. “It would be hard to make a case that there was a public need.” He pointed out that the 53-acre parcel joined more densely zoned land only at a point, and that more than the 53 acres would have to be rezoned. “Well, I did want to get your feelings,” Mr. Tomeden said, as he prepared to leave. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ rnnrrTrwTnfr¥¥V¥WVVVVVVVW^ .

Dedication Continued from page 1 guests assembled for the banquet. “We want to be the best in Virginia. We are different. We are small. We communicate eyeball to eyeball. Our small size is indeed our strength. We expect miracles in this school division, and we get them.” He cited statistics showing that scores in sixth grade mathematics since the computer lab was installed have increased from an average overall score of 56.4 to 72. “We couldn’t have done that without Potomac Edison,” he said. He said that the 64 computers in the high school were all linked in a network. “We’re the first school building to be completely networked with Macintosh computers,” Dr. Gangel said. “Our ratio of computers to students, one to 6.92, is the second best in the state of Virginia. We’re making differences in children’s lives, and I’d personally like to say, ‘Thank you.’” “You have already thanked me over the last four years by using our computer equipment,” Mr. Kaelin said. “Your school district is a center for innovation. To me it is unbelievable the way the partnership has come together. This little county I worried about when we started has turned out to be the leader in the use of computers.” When he received his plaque, Mr. Noia remembered that he was Vice President for Finance in the parent Allegheny Power System when he first heard of Mr. Kaelin’s desire to supply computers to the schools in Potomac Edison’s service area. He responded that he thought that Potomac Edison was in a strong enough financial position to be able to afford to give away a few thousand dollars for computers. His boss told him, Mr. Noia recalled, that Mr. Kaelin was thinking of hundreds of thousands of dollars, not thousands. So far, Mr. Noia said, Potomac Edison has given schools in its service area $7 million worth of software and hardware, $3 million of that in Virginia. He pledged that Potomac Edison, under his leadership, will continue its partnership with the region’s public schools to supply computer technology as long as the company can afford to do so. Following the presentations of plaques and speeches, the guests was split into three groups for tours of the schools. They saw demonstrations of desktop publishing, using computers as interfaces in science experiments, the high school’s use of computers for cataloguing and check out at the library, as well as the library’s network center for providing reference works on computers for use throughout the school. In the technology education department, Joey Dunagan demonstrated the computer-aided drafting program and the new plotter in the drafting room. Dunagan recently finished first in the state in the Technology Students of America competition in computer-aided drafting. The tour also included the high school computer lab, where students were using computers for word processing, work with spreadsheets, computer programming, drawing and calculus. At the elementary school the guests saw the computers being used for remedial mathematics as well as the large computer lab for all sixth grade mathematics instruction. Following the tour those in attendance received “memory books” with digitized pictures of several hosts and guests for the evening. These booklets had been produced while the banquet and tours were going on, again using the school’s networked Macintosh computer, w Smith Continued from page 1 about whipping an incumbent congressman reveal at least a gleam of hope. Speakers repeatedly made reference to recent Democratic victories that political pundits said couldn’t happen, citing Democratic winners from Chuck Robb to Douglas Wilder and Don Beyer. Lt. Gov. Beyer, whose out-of-nowhere catapult to the Commonwealth’s second highest office may have inspired some of the hope in the room, was greeted with almost raucous enthusiasm as he delivered in person his message that “there’s virtually nothing we can’t do.” Beyer conceded the Democratic challenger has an uphill fight, citing the familiar statistics of incumbency in Congress, in which 98 percent of members return in each election. “In 1988, more congressmen died in office than were beaten,” Beyer said. But Beyer noted that turnover accumulates over the years, and said that he believes Slaughter can be defeated. “We have set our limits too tightly if we think we can’t win this congressional race in November,” Beyer said. “You should never try to find out how high a mountain is before you climb it. You’ll just get discouraged.” “I’m completely confident that we’re going to win in November,” Beyer concluded. Beyer’s speech was followed by nominations of candidates Smith and Robert E. Frazier. Frazier, a re tired pilot who lives in Earlysville, ran for the seat in 1984 as an independent and was seeking the nomination again this year, this time as a Democrat. Peaslee then altered the proceedings when he rose, asked for a suspension of rules, and delivered a sixminute speech in which he called for unity, said Slaughter is beatable, and then moved for a unanimous nomination of Smith. ‘The differences between us are very minor when compared to our differences with French Slaughter," Peaslee said. “We’re here to defeat French Slaughter.” “He’ll be a great target,” Peaslee said. “Just publicize his record. . . . Guess who’s just announced he’s in favor of the environment . . . [Slaughter’s] record on the environment is abysmal.” Peaslee anticipated Smith’s list of campaign issues, saying that Slaughter is on the “wrong side” in a wide range of questions, from abortion to child care to health care to social security. He then released his delegates and made his motion in favor of Smith. The audience rewarded Peaslee with loud, long applause. Smith continued the theme of unity, saying that “we drove together in the same car half the time” during the campaign to collect delegates. The 33-year-old Democratic nominee is the son of State Del. Alson H. Smith Jr., one of the state’s most powerful political figures. The elder Smith has raised money for the party’s brightest stars. “People ask me why I don’t go down [to Richmond] and see what I Private setting, 6'/: acres, views, streamt cathedral ceilings, many decks, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, den, family room, Amissville area, $185.000...

We know a lot about each other.” Smith ticked off the issues he sees, saying that there are “too many” but that his differences with the incumbent Slaughter mean that “I’m going to campaign on more issues than I ought to.” Among the issues Smith singled out: the budget deficit, the savings and loan crisis, foreign aid, drugs, and abortion. “Congress should worry a lot more about about some of its choices,” Smith said. Slaughter is “an incumbent who has a reputation for integrity,” said Rappahannock County committee chairman Doug Baumgardner. “He has a conservative voting record in a conservative district.” The implication is that Smith — whose postiions are fairly conservative — can’t beat Slaughter solely on the issues. But since Slaughter has “no real prospect at his age of attaining seniority in Congress, which makes it difficult to accomplish anything,” Smith’s focus on “youthful vigor may be workable.” Choosing his words carefully, Baumgardner also said, “I detect a feeling of enthusiasm [among Democrats], but everybody is aware of the statistics.” Budget Continued from page 1 to pay for more hours. Mrs. Leake requested $200 for her budget to pay for repair to the copying machine she shares with District Court Clerk Pat Davis, but the supervisors suggested that Sheriff John Henry Woodward let her have one he recently had repaired and get a new one. Sheriff Woodward told the supervisors that there will be several change orders needed during the jail addition project, but so far he does not know what they will add to the cost. The first change he recommended was to have the floor tile in the existing office and day room replaced. He said during excavation the builders had dug into an old water tank buried in the wall. Once that is removed the wall will have to be repaired. Mr. McCarthy added another change order of his own, because the bid specifications didn’t include the stone facing on the new foundation for the relocated summer kitchen. This was required by the town’s Architectural Review Board. “We are going to have rolling change orders that will sometimes change the cost.” BRANDY STATION, VA 286 acre Pristine Estate, with excitingly beautiful Manor House at the end of a % miles paved driveway.

Million Dollar Agent * ‘Re/Max Above the Crowd" Turning to the county’s budget for next year, Mr. Massie asked, “Well, what kind of tax rate are we going to have?” Mr. McCarthy said accountant Wally Cox is becoming more comfortable with a rate of 75 cents per' $100 valuation on real estate. That is the rate in the current budget. The new budget was advertised at a tax rate of 78 cents. “You have the JLARC (Joint Legislative Audit and Review Com-! mission) bill out there,” Mr. McCar-! thy cautioned. JLARC funding; formulas have already increased the; county’s share of the school and; health department budgets and will have further impact in future years. Another possibility which will be considered by next year’s General Assembly is that the county may be forced to pick up more of the cost of the constitutional officers. Mr. McCarthy suggested that to prepare for that impact in future years, the supervisors might consider a rate of 76 or 77 cents this year. “We need to raise those health department fees,” Mr. Gilkey suggested. Mr. McCarthy said the supervisors will soon be getting recommendations on new fees for building and zoning applications to make the building office self-supporting and new fees for some health department services.
