New elementary assistant principal sees education as 'team approach' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Raye Tupper is settling into her job as assistant principal at Rappahannock County Elementary School and looking forward to the start of school. Mrs. Tupper says she doesn’t expect her job here to be very different ■ from her -former job as assistant principal of the Prince Edward Middle School, a position she held for two years before coming to Rappahannock. Before that she taught kindergarten, first grade, and remedial reading to students in first through sixth grade, so she says she has worked with students in all the grades included at Rappahannock Elementary. As to why she chose to come to Rappahannock, Mrs. Tupper points out that both she and her husband Mike grew up in the county. Mr. Tupper will be teaching special education and business at at the high school and coaching soccer and baseball. “We wanted to come back home,” she said. “With our daughter 22 months old and another child expected in November, my husband and I'were interested in being closer to our families and closer to our roots. I think it’s important for children to grow up as part of an extended family.” As to why she chose to go into school administration, Mrs. Tupper said that administrators are “under fire” more. “We deal with more of the problems and fewer of the triumphs than the classroom teacher, but on the positive side as an administrator you can make more of an impact because you are dealing with more children.” Two philosophies which she hopes to share with teachers are the “individual worth of children” and the importance of working with parents. “Teachers have to know that every parent cares about his or her child,” she said. “You have to spend time with the parents so the parents and teachers are working together. “I felt really successful during my nine years in the classroom,” Mrs. Tupper added. “If I can pass along some of what I learned, we can have a positive impact on children.” Mrs. Tupper said her vision for the school is “to make it the best elementary school in the state, and we’re pretty well on the way.” She added, “Being the best means having the best faculty, because no matter what impact administrators can have, the real heart of what hapSee TUPPER, p. 11 Amendments would affect* subdivisions By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors will consider a series of amendments to the zoning ordinance this fall. Some of the amendments involve tightening up the procedures for using the family subdivision provision of the ordinance. Some would serve to place further restrictions on golf courses. Others are required by changes in state law approved by Virginia’s General Assembly. The planners will hold a public hearing on the amendments Sept. 19, and the supervisors will consider them after a public hearing Oct. 1. Under family subdivisions the amendments would require that a piece of land be held for a period of five years before it qualifies for family subdivision. They would also state that following a division allowed under the family subdivision provision a lot could not be sold for two years. The amendments would also restrict family members who could receive lots under the provision to children or parents of the owner or to a former spouse in the case where a division of property is part of a divorce settlement. Finally, under the proposed amendments, land in joint ownership would not qualify for family subdivisions. The amendments relating to golf courses would increase the minimum amount of land for a golf course from 50 acres to 75 acres for a nine-hole course and 150 acres for an 18-hole course. Also one proposed amendment would require that greens and fairways be set back 150 feet from adjoining property and from public roads. Another amendment would allow the planners to require someone applying for a golf course to submit information on how the water needs of the course would be met and how runoff from chemical treatments would be handled. Two of the proposed amendments are required by laws enacted by the General Assembly this year. One would allow permanent mobile homes to be located in agriculturally zoned land provided they are 19.5 feet wide, placed on a permanent foundation and “skirted.” Another change required by new state law would allow group homes anywhere other single-family residences are allowed, providing that they have no more than eight “mentally ill, mentally retarded, or developmental^ disabled persons” plus staff. Another amendment will require that private roads serving five or more lots be built to state highway department standards. The current ordinance requires that for a road serving seven or more lots. Yet another amendment would apply to such uses as lodges, campgrounds, monasteries, residential and medical care facilities. The amendment would limit them to two two-person occupancy units per acre. The amendments will also state an absolute number of units allowed for some of these uses. See ZONING, p. 14 Few specifics known about state budget cuts By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer A week after Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s address to Virginia, local officials are still waiting for answers about how the belt tightening in Richmond will affect Rappahannock County. See related story, page 3 Following his statewide televised address last Thursday night, Gov. Wilder went before the General Assembly’s money committees Friday. On Monday, he travelled to Charlottesville to address the Local Government Officials Conference at the University of Virginia. News reports indicated he added few specifics to his plan to erase a $1.4 billion state budget shortfall. County Administrator John McCarthy, who attended the conference, said that Gov. Wilder’s speech cast a gloomy pall over the gathering. “It is offensive to have someone else put their fiscal house in order by putting mine into disarray. ” — John McCarthy County administrator Local officials, he added, were particularly upset over Mr. Wilder’s suggestion that localities should adjust to the cuts with spending cuts of their own and refrain from raising taxes. The governor “pretty much threw a whole lot of weight onto localities in this tax See CUTS, p. 11 Local panelists will debate arts, money and censorship By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer During the past few months the news has been filled with a rigorous and often rancorous debate over the arts. The debate usually centers on public funding for the arts, and more specifically public money used for allegedly obscene art work and productions. The debate began in earnest last year when the Corcoran, a highly respected Washington, D.C. gallery, scheduled an exhibition of photographs by the late Robert Mapplethorpe. Included in the exhibit were some photographs graphically depicting activity of a homosexual nature. Under pressure, the Corcoran decided not to host the Mapplethorpe exhibit. Its director resigned, and the show was finally exhibited at the Washington Project for the Arts. More recently, the National Endow ment for the Arts has come under fire from Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) and others for providing grants to several other artists who used it to produce whal their critics allege are obscene and pornographic works of art. With Congress looking at ways to cut federal spending, public funding for the arts has come to the front of the debate. Critics say that the money could better be used for more essential services, while its supporters retort that art, in its many forms, is an necessary fiber in the fabric of our society. Though the debate may seem far removed from Rappahannock County, a closer look reveals that the issue strikes home even here.

According to State Trooper C.A. Moore, David William Hunt was eastbound on U.S. 211 from Thornton Gap when he braked and apparently lost control of his 1989 Suzuki. The bike slid out from under Mr. Hunt, skidding across the road and slaipming into the guardrail on the right shoulder of the road. Mr. Hunt apparently also hit the guardrail, Trooper Moore said, although he was unable to determine exactly how the accident happened or how Mr. Hunt was injured. His brother, Jeffrey Allen Hunt, 18, also of Sterling, laid his bike down to avoid hitting his brother when he fell.

Superintendent J.W. Wade announced that the new program will start Aug. 22. The advisory will be similar to those broadcast on television in major cities. Information will be provided on the current level of ozone air pollution and visibility impairment. Ozone is a poisonous form of oxygen that can damage both plant and animal tissue. In humans it irritates the pulmonary membranes, can cause coughing, sinusitis, chest pains and a general feeling of weakness. It also can aggravate asthma and other breathing disorders making attacks more frequent or severe. Many normally healthy people are particularly sensitive to ozone and can feel its effects at low levels of concentration. Visibility is important to visitors to the Park. Being able to see clearly from the many overlooks along the Skyline Drive and wilderness mountaintops greatly enhances public enjoyment of this world famous national park. Visibility has deteriorated significantly during recent years. Since 1950 the average distance that can been seen from the Skyline Drive has been reduced by over 50 percent. The situation is particularly severe during summer air inversion periods when local pollution is trapped and cannot disperse. At these times, visibility is often so poor that very few of the otherwise spectacular views can be enjoyed. Over 70 percent of the impairment is caused by sulfates, a type of pollution given off by the burning of fossil fuels, particularly coal. Superintendent Wade has recently stated in interviews that, “We have a strong suspicion that decisions by people about whether to undertake a return visit to the Park may be influenced, at least in part, by what they could or could not see on their prior visit. When people seek an area to vacation, they look for clean air, hoping to leave air pollution problems behind. It stands to reason that if pollution continues to increase, visitors could be less and less inclined to come.” The air quality advisory will give one of three ratings levels for ozone: low, moderate and unhealthy. The unhealthy rating will be posted if the national health standard of. 12 parts per million is exceeded. Visibility ratings relate to how far you can see and are given in ranges of 0-10 miles, 10-30 miles and 30 plus miles. These two ratings will be posted on signs along the Skyline Drive and on special displays in the two Park visitor centers once each day. Interpretive bulletins are also available on air pollution and impacts on human health and natural resources. LFGC begins program for Human Services degree A new one-year program featuring college credit for on-the-job training in Human Services paraprofessional career fields will begin this fall at Lord Fairfax Community College. Applications for full-time and part-time candidates are being received now. The program features on-the-job career training in such fields as child care assistant, public school teacher assistant, social work and psychological services assistant positions. The Human Services Certificate program also includes college credit courses for general education, human development, psychology, and related subjects during the fall and spring. This one-year certificate program was recently authorized by the Virginia Community College System to operate at LFCC in response to an increased demand for para-professionals in the human services career fields. The one-year certificate program is expected to attract a number of persons already employed as well as new students without job experience. The program can be completed " within nine months for those who pursue their studies and on-the-job training on a full-time basis.

4-H exchange produces lifetime of memories By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The summer of 1990 will long be treasured by Alice Reeve. On Aug. 1, the 15-year-old Rappahannock County teen returned from Germany after spending more than a month traveling and studying with the International Four-H Youth Exchange program. The daughter of Nancy and Kent Reeve of Sperryville, Alice is only the second Rappahannock youth to participate in the 4-H exchange program, and the first in 10 years. “She is an excellent person,” for the program, said Tommy Williams, the county’s agricultural Extension agent and a 4-H leader. “The program looks for someone who is outgoing, who gets along with others, and who is self motivated.” He said Alice demonstrated all these characteristics in her several years as a member of the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club and Teen Clubs. “She is a great counselor at camp and a great song leader,” he said. “This is something I’ve always wanted to do,” Alice said, as she passed hot dogs to various customers at the recent Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club fundraiser held at the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative. “I’ve always teen interested in the exchange students at school and I wanted to go to Germany,” she explained, adding her father’s visit there several years ago influenced her desire to visit this European country. The teen expressed her desire to participate in the exchange program to Mr. Williams, one of the Livestock Club’s adult leaders. “It is a great program,” Mr. Williams said of the international exchange for teens 15-19 years of age, sponsored by the 4-H programs in the United States. “But, it is expensive.” The program, depending on destination, costs several thousand dollars, and is funded by the exchange recipient. Students travel to countries around the world including Australia, the Pacific, South and Central America, England and Europe. “It cost about $3,200,” Alice said, passing hot dogs across the counter and making jokes with local customers. “I raised one third, my parents put in the other third and local contributors helped with the other third,” she said, adding it is a terrific program for teens but the cost is prohibitive for many. “Alice is the first we’ve had to really show interest,” Mr. Williams said. Alice’s interest has taken her to places many just imagine. Traveling with 11 other students ranging in age from 15 to 19 years and coming from as far away as Alaska or as close as Pennsylvania, Alice and one 4-H agent from Paduka, Kentucky, left the United States on June 31 and arrived in Frankfurt, West Germany some 12 hours later. “I really had jet lag,” she said with a smile, adding if all hours were measured, she was awake for nearly two days straight. “We did not get any time to rest once we arrived as we went right to orientation,” she said. Orientation for the exchange students was held in the German city of Wiesebaden. Three days later, Alice met her host family, a mother with two daughters, and traveled to her new home in Giessen, West Germany. The city boasts one of the largest American military bases in Europe so English is a common language and the German lessons the young Reeve were given during orientation were used rarely. “We learned to use the post office and things like that,” she said of her German language classes earlier in the week. ‘We did . . . well, we did OK,” she snickered, remembering the problems of learning a new language. As life in Giessen settled down, the adventure for Alice Reeve began. It took some getting used to. “I was shocked not to see the mountains,” the teen said, being unfamiliar with suburban life and accustomed to living in rural Rappahannock County. “Living in a suburban area was another shock,” she said with emphasis, adding most homes were apartments, and while spacious, were unlike her American home. Living with all women was another change for the young Reeve. “I’ve always been interested in the exchange students at school and I wanted to go to Germany. " — Alice Reeve 4-H exchange student “I’m not used to having sisters,” she said, adding though she comes from a large family, she has only brothers and life with all women was different. “My new sisters were very patient with me,” she said with a mischevious smile, adding their intent was that Alice “always have a good time.” Since the German school year varies from the United States system, Alice attended school with her sister. “It’s different,” she said, adding the school hours - usually from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. - differ, as well as the class schedules and school atmospheres. “When a teacher is absent, there is no substitute,” she said with a gleem in her eye. “Class is just cancelled for the day.” While with her host family, Alice visited the most talked about location of the late 1980s and the early 1990s - Alice Reeve visited “the wall.” “It’s a big tourist attraction now,” she said of the now crumbling wall seperating the cities of East and West Berlin. “You can buy little bags of stone from the wall or rent a chisel and hammer and hack away your own.” In the teen’s opinion, the purchased pouch of stones is the bargain. “That wall was put there to stay,” she said, explaining even after sometime with her chisel and hammer she had little to show for her efforts. “But, I got a piece of ‘the wall’,” she said with pride. But for Miss Reeve, the attraction was the city of East Berlin. “It’s really fabulous to see what has survived,” she said, adding the artwork and the architecture is “incredible.” Before her trip to the Bavarian Horseback Riding Camp, Alice Reeve wanted to see real life in the once communist city. “I’m disappointed we did not get to see more of how the people lived,” she said. From her host home of Giessen, Alice traveled to Bavaria, West Germany to attend the riding camp, called gutkronburg “Many of the students did not find it challenging enough,” she said of the camp and while exercises were not strenuous, Alice found them enlightening. “In Germany, you worry about yourself,” she said, explaining the horse knows what it should be doing. She said this is quite different from lessons here where the rider trains the horse as well. Through an excursion from the camp, her summer experience was given depth and meaning. From the Bavarian camp, Alice and other students visited Dachau, one of the most notorious concentration camps of WWII. “I can’t explain the feeling,” she said, glancing past the mountains of Rappahannock and remembering the day in the infamous camp. “It’s difficult to describe.” Passing through the grounds and museum in the camp, Miss Reeve found she was unable to take photos. “It’s difficult but if anyone ever goes to Germany, they should visit a concentration camp. “Afterwards, you develop the utmost respect for the people,” she said, carefully choosing each word. “Respect not just for the people who died there, but for those that survived or the families who endured. “It’s a very emotional feeling,” she said, explaining the tour pays tribute to those who were in the camp but also to a time in history that should never be forgotten. “We never want to go through it again,” she said, remembering the day in the camp. “It helps us to repect the German people,” she said, adding through this experience she has gained an insight into what they may feel. “Although it was years ago, it’s something we should never forget,” she said with emphasis. “I encourage other students to participate in this program,” she said, adding as with any new experience, it takes time to adjust to the new surroundings but when the excitment wears off and things began to fall into some pattern, the experiences will be treasured for a lifetime.

Day REALTOR BEFORE YOU RENOVATE There are two truths about home renovation: Every project costs more and takes longer than expected. So, before you start, keep your cost estimate high and remember the words, •Return on investment." Whether you hire profes sionals or do the renovation yourself, be aware that your in vestment will not always result in dollar-for dollar increase in the value of your home. Al though some homeowners do make a prpfit on their remodel ing investment, history tells us that some homeowners won't even recover their costs. Do your homework. Get estimates on the costs. Study the local real estate market to be sure you're making im provements that homebuyers want and will pay for. Don't go overboard. Getting your money out of a house priced well above neighbor hood houses will be difficult. As a general rule, the value of the home AFTER renovation should not exceed the value of any house in your neighbor hood by more than 20%.

L. Douglas Wilder deferred cuts to localities and eliminated recordation tax revenues slated to be returned to Northern Virginia as he laid out his plan Friday to carve out a balanced budget to meet a $1.4 billion shortfall facing the state over the next two years. Speaking before the state money committees, Wilder detailed the reductions he had referred to the night before in a televised speech to the people of the Commonwealth. Under the plan, state agency budgets, which have already suffered up to 5 percent cuts, will experience a $375 million reduction for the 1990-92 budget that began on July 1. Though the governor did not specify the reductions for each agency, some department budgets may be reduced by as much as 5 percent. The governor also announced salary freezes for state employees scheduled for a 2 percent raise on Dec. 1, saving the state $145 million. “There’s no way you can get the kind of money we’re talking about without cutting services to people who badly need them or cutting the pay of people who provide them,” said Del. Mary A. Marshall (D-Arlington). A total of $60 million — $20 million this year and $40 million next year — in revenues raised from real estate transactions will not go to local governments as allocated by the General Assembly. Northern Virginia was expected to receive nearly r half of the recordation tax revenue pledged to localities. The governor also said that he could not avoid cuts in state funding to local government. Nearly half of all state funds go to localities to assist public education, law enforcement, public health facilities and other services. “Although this administration has gone to great lengths in recent months to spare localities from reductions in state funding,” said Wilder, ‘It is simply not possible to exempt local aid at this time.” However, local reductions are targeted for the second year of the biennium, as local officials requested, so that the cuts will have minimal impact on the local 1990-91 budgets, said Wilder. In addition, a total of $153 million in state funding to localities to help them to meet the Standard of Quality (SOQ) education mandates will be deferred. Lottery profits, totalling $364 million, will be diverted from building projects at state college and other public works. The governor acknowledged that some layoffs are inevitable, but he maintains that he will not raise taxes. The governor will review and approve the final plans for reductions Sept. 4-14, and will introduce budget amendments on Jan. 4. “It looks bleak and it’s not looking any better as time passes,” said Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax). RAAC elects officers At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock Association for the Ails and Community on Aug. 9 at the courthouse, the recently reconstituted board elected new officers for 1990-91. Charles Tompkins of Washington was elected president, Frank Reynolds, vice-president, Mike Mahoney, fiscal vice-president, Sara Shorter, treasurer, and Beverly Atkins, secretary. New members of the board are Carlton Coon, Robert Scott, Dinah and Vincent Day, David Smith, Page Smith, Dorothy Mank, Beverly Atkins and Sara Shorter. Sid Gottlieb presented the Futures Committee report to the board for its consideration and Wendy Weinberg, owner of the Gay Street Theater, discussed her plans for refurbishing the theater. She has already installed air-conditioning to make the summer use of the theater attractive. The new officers and board were introduced to the membership at large at the organiza- < tion’s annual meeting picnic at the home of Barney and Mary O’Meara on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 19. Thanks to a commodious tent lent for the occasion by the Lion’s Club, a late afternoon downpour only made the feast more convivial than it would otherwise have been.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, AUGUST 23,1990 Fiscal shell game The reaction to Gov. Wilder’s speech to the Local Government Officials Conference in Charlottesville ranged from gloom to fury, according to some who attended. Faced with a $1.4 million shortfall, Gov. Wilder told the officials he intends to slash state aid to localities by $333 million. But the governor didn’t stop there. He suggested that localities follow the state’s lead, and pick up the tab by cutting budgets rather than raising taxes. That, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, is an assumption without factual basis — particularly where small rural counties like Rappahannock are concerned. Our county had a total budget of $6.5 million this year, of which $4.5 million was allocated to the public schools. Our school administrators, county officials and elected supervisors go over each budget carefully, and question each line item. When they are done, there is not much left but the essentials. It leaves precious little room to adjust for reductions in money allocated from elsewhere — especially when the cut comes after the budget process has been completed. The governor’s plan is, in essence, a fiscal shell game of the type practiced at the federal level by President Ronald Reagan. He reduced the federal deficit by shifting the responsibility for funding from the federal to state governments. One result is the present deficit facing many state governments, as they struggle to find money to replace the vanishing federal dollars. Now, the Commonwealth is doing the same thing. Mr. McCarthy was exactly right when he called the governor’s tactic “offensive” — to put Virginia’s fiscal house in order by scavenging from its localities. It’s a sham — and the losers, as usual, are the taxpayers. Some things never change. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage A MAJESTIC TREE provides beauty while also shading a farmhouse outside Washington. Letters to the editor A scandal at R.E.C.? To the editor: All of the recent smoke at Rappahannock Electric Cooperative indicates a tremendous blaze could be ready to erupt — and nobody cares. Could we have our own version of the savings and loan scandal right here at R.E.C.? Take a look at the facts and decide for yourself. William Frazier, a R.E.C. board member, blatantly ignores the co-op policies he helped develop by not paying one penny on his personal electrical bill for five months. Yet his electricity was not disconnected nor has he been required to put up a security deposit as called for by R.E.C. policy and rate provisions of the State Corporation Commission. Cecil Viverette, R.E.C. vice SHORTFALL ?! LOOKS LIKE I "M A LONG FALL . \ \FR0M HERE /J FALLOUT FROM THE SHORTFALL - LAYOFFS CANCELLED SALARY * INCREASES CUT AID TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CUT AID TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS president and general manager, admits that he didn’t have the “fortitude” to perform his job and allowed the policy violation to continue for years. A call to the co-op also revealed there are 260 employees, not 218 as erroneously stated by Mr. Viverette. Mr. Viverette continues to mislead the public by saying that Mr. Frazier was only four months behind and owed only $840. The official record clearly shows that Mr. Frazier made no payment from Dec. 28, 1989 to May 16, 1990 and the bill was $1,765. Board President Lindsay Gordon stated that “we have nothing to be ashamed of at R.E.C.” When does the unethical become illegal? Corruption, coverup and total incompetence all seem appropriate when reading about Rappahannock Electric Cooperative. With the cost of electricity being a major concern to every household, it is time for R.E.C. to put qualified professionals in management and on the board. Let’s abandon the “good ole boy” network and the “buddy” system before our “lights” go totally out. Dean Irvine should be applauded for bringing these atrocities to the members’ attention. I encourage all R.E.C. members to join the cause and send their signed proxies to Dean Irvine at P.O. Box 1352, Culpeper, Virginia 22701. Together, we can make the needed changes to bring responsible and ethical management to R.E.C. CRAIG P. DAMONE Rixeyville Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Learning by example To the editor: Almost everyone agrees that the best investment we can make for the future is in our young people who will control that future. This investment entails not only money but as important it involves time. Time to listen, time to be with the youth, time to set good examples when it be showing pride in your work or showing kindness to people of all ages. In Rappahannock we have many who are making that investment. Not only parents but other volunteers are spending countless hours with organized youth activities through churches, scouts, schools and 4-H clubs. The recent 4-H farm show provides a prime example of adults from our community working with the youth to instill knowledge values, and a sense of self esteem. I have two children who have participated in this activity for the past several years. I have always been impressed with the hours the leaders are willing to spend helping the children develop their projects and with the financial support individuals and businesses give this effort. Over the years many individuals have shown an interest in the children and their projects. Many deserve to be thanked for the encouragement they have provided the children. This year I would like to give a special thanks to two individuals from Rappahannock who came to the farm show sale prepared not only to spend money but also to spencbtime with the child who worked on the project. Eileen Day of Eileen Day Realty and John Childress of Rappahannock Tractor both came to thev sale prepared to purchase an animal. They also took time to talk with my child about the project, showing an interest in what had gone into the finished product. They talked some about marketing techniques which will certainly be a key factor our youngsters must address in any future market economy. My child felt he was treated as an equal in this exchange, which did wonders for his self esteem. As a parent I appreciate the lessons my son learned from these people and the examples they set for him. Thank you. NANCY REEVE Washington Teach wisdom, honesty To the editor: The drug problem, the savings and loan scandal, the failure of leadership in the political and business community, all raise the question: What is wrong with our moral and ethical training? In addition to our other educational problems, we are apparently not teaching our children right from wrong. Of course, to err is human, power corrupts, and greed and selfishness are a genetic part of nature’s plan for survival. They have always been with us, and probably always will be. What bothers me is that today our business, political, and religious leaders, once having been caught in some egregious act, exhibit little remorse or even acceptance of their wrong doing. Anyone who reads the newspapers can think of a dozen names, without my mentioning them here. Having been caught in some egregious act, these malfeasants first insist they have done nothing wrong! Their second action, if the proof is undeniable, is to seek medical help for this or that illness as defined by the latest academic psycobabble. Finally, if all else fails, they “find God,” the modern equivalent of medieval sanctuary. Ironically, I believe, they return to the institution that may have set them on the wrong course in the first place. Let me explain. When I was young, my parents sent me to Sunday school. When I reached adolescene. I was “con firmed” in the church. My memories are vague, but I recall that I was supposed to accept on faith the teachings and miracles as set forth in the scriptures. The teachings I had no problem with, but it troubled me to stand in church and recite the Apostles’ Creed, an oath of belief in certain supernatural things I found, in my deepest conscience, to be unbelievable. When I asked our minister about these troubling thoughts, I was told that the answer is easy: one needs to have faith. Without faith, you cannot believe, and without belief, you cannot get into the kingdom of heaven. This man had a resonant and authoritative voice, and I was just a little kid, and this was a long time ago, so I did not question him further. But I sensed a circular argument. I wondered, what is faith? Is it believing — or pretending to believe — something that is logically unbelievable? Sounded a lot like hypocrisy to me. I did question my mother. I’m not sure how convinced she was of the existence of the kingdom of heaven, but she explained to me that all the best people in town went to our church, and I should just recite the litany and not think too much about what I was saying. Church was a good thing, everybody knows that, and it was in my best interest to attend. What a terrible,' inconceivably wrong thing to try to teach a young See LETTERS, p. ^

Letters Continued from page 4 person! Forget for a minute the ten commandments, the golden rule, and all the good to be learned from religion. Think instead about this most basic lesson that every child learns in Sunday school: If something is to your benefit (life after death, being bom again, salvation, or being seen in church), then by all means be a part of whatever pretense is necessary to achieve those benefits! I do not for a minute mean to suggest tl](at the church does not perform sotme good and useful social services toi the community, nor that many of those involved in religion are not well intentioned. What I am suggesting is that, in an effort to impose some moral discipline, we are in effect teaching our children that it is OK to accept ideas and deeds without questioning them, especially if they are put forth by some charismatic individual acting in an official capacity. Even if the supernatural events described in the scriptures are true (and we have no way of knowing whether or not they are), to pretend to embrace them without evidence, simply in one’s own self-interest is, it seems to me, at best shallow and disingenous. Defense not negotiable To the editor: If Nol Putnam is unhappy with “$600 hammers,” “falsified tests,” “kick backs (sic), cost overruns that would never be countenanced in small businesses,” I would like to know just how long he thinks an allout federal program to feed our hungry children would be in effect before those children would be eating $500 tuna fish sandwiches with milk going at $89.95 the half-pint and cookies at something between $750 and $1,000 the pound. Would those children (three out of five in America? I think not) be allowed to eat yellowfin tuna, which would endanger the dolphin population, or would they be restricted to albacore? Who would study the question, who would decide the answer, who would inspect, who would certify? Federal bureaucrats, that’s who, and if the defense of the country, which is unquestionably a federal responsibility, can get out of hand the way it does, can you imagine what would happen to a program responsible to every school board in the United States? Never mind the question of milk: Skim? Low fat? How low? Whole milk? What about the cows the milk will come from? What kind of grass have they fed on? How fertilized? (The grass, not the cows; let’s not be indelicate). Pesticides on the grass? Which ones? How is the milk going to be packaged? What kind of shortening is going to be used in the cookies? Never mind all that. Just think for a minute of millions of children taking their government-approved lunches and dumping them into the trash simply because they. just. do. not. like. them. You want to talk about waste? Why in the world does Mr. Putnam think that the defense budget is so hard to handle? Absolutely the least efficient way to handle any problem in this country is to ask the federal government to take care of it, and the more we give it to do, the worse the situation gets, period. The defense of the nation is of course a federal responsibility. Everything else is negotiable and I intend to keep negotiating for as long as it takes and to keep voting for a congressman like French Slaughter who will do the same. Incidentally, I do eat albacore to protect the dolphins. That’s my budget involved, my taste, and my business. Let’s keep the feds out of it. EDITH POND Sperryville New magazine for Southern genealogists Rappahannock County family tree climbers can learn more about their roots through a new magazine called “Southern Queries.” Published six times a year “Southern Queries” is called “the contact magazine for people searching for their southern ancestors.” Information on the magazine is available by writing; Southern Queries, 1115 Sundial Circle, Birmingham, AL 35215. Kids learn all too quickly, and by example, how to play the games of the adult world. To teach this concept of blind acceptance to a child is to ask — to beg — for such disasters as the savings and loan debacle, Wall Street Scandals, Jim and Tammy Bakker, Jim Jones, and an endless list of mindless, stupid acts based on false premises. In today’s complex world, children need not just to be taught right from wrong—they need to learn the knack of figuring it out for themselves. They need to learn, not just that there are rules, but that there is a reason for the rules, and what those reasons are. Laws and religious principles provide only the basics, the stalling point. The founding fathers, for example, steeped in religion, saw nothing wrong with slavery, although, presumably, they studied the same Bible in use today. (Either all the answers aren’t in the Bible, or our forefathers — and everybody else, right up to the 1960’s — couldn’t read very well!) We should certainly teach children the wisdom that religion has to offer, but we must also teach them to question authority and to value and respect honesty and the truth. Otherwise, it becomes easy to rationalize the wrong but tempting choices we all must face. BILL FITZSIMONS Flint Hill After they're gone, the legacy remains Last Saturday, Aug. 18, was my father's 71st birthday. It’s been more than two years since he died, in April, 1988. I think of him often, but somehow his birthday seemed to provide additional occasion for reflection. Birthdays often provide such opportunities — for self-analysis and reflection, and also for thoughts about how our loved ones have contributed to our lives. Some years ago, while I was working at The Inn at Little Washington, my grandmother died. My mother’s mother was the family matriarch; Grandmother Erwin was the strongest, yet the most gentle person I have ever met. She was softspoken and quiet, physically a tiny woman, yet no one who met her doubted the strength which emanated from her. When she died, Chef Patrick O’Connell offered his condolences. He had recently suffered the loss of his father, and as we talked he shared a bit of wisdom that I didn’t fully appreciate at the time. He told me that we receive, from our families, a legacy that really doesn’t begin until after our forebearers are gone. That wisdom helped me to deal with my grandmother’s death, and I know that it has also been a comfort in reconciling Dad’s death. Dad shared many things with us during his life, none more important than his conviction about the importance of family ties. He taught by example. Though he was gone often, traveling with his beloved Baltimore Orioles, when he was home his family came first. He gave up a prestigious job reporting for The Sporting News because it took up too much of From my chair. . . by Lou Hotter the time he felt deserved to be spent with his family- ilyHe, like my grandmother, was a rock anchoring the family. Though he was related to my mother’s Virginia family only by marriage, there wasn’t a niece or nephew, or their children, who didn’t enjoy coming to see “Uncle Lou.” And he always had time for them — especially the kids. Whether it was fishing in Grandmother’s pond, wiffleball or football, Dad was ready. The year he died, my parents were planning to host the Moore family reunion at their farm in Mecklenburg County — the farm where my grandmother and grandfather raised my mother, my aunts and uncles. It would have been the first reunion at the farm in more than 10 years. He was really excited about the prospect of playing host to Mom’s relatives at the family’s homeplace — and paramount in his plans were games for the many children who would attend. He even laid out a nine-hole par-three golf course in the fields that surround the old farm house. Each Thanksgiving since, my brother and our relatives play the Lou Hatter Memorial Golf Tournament on the course. The scores won’t make the PGA Tour, but I’m sure my Dad is smiling as he watches his sons, his nephews and his nieces having so much fun. From Dad, I 'learned the importance of those occasions — the fun times spent with family and friends. Too often we lose sight of the significance, thinking, well, there’s always next year. Well, there isn’t always next year. Last Thanksgiving, one of my nephews asked me to take him fishing at Grandmother’s pond. We had a great time, although he caught more “bird’s nests” in his tackle than he did fish. And I gained a chance to marvel anew at my father’s patience. After all, when he taught my brother and me to fish on that same pond, he had two youngsters tangling their fishing lines, not just one. And when we returned to the house, with empty creels but big smiles, my relatives paid me the ultimate compliment. Taking the time to go fishing with my nephew, they said, was “just like Uncle Lou." Well, to him, I guess I am “Uncle Lou.” And though I’ll never be able to fill Dad’s shoes, I have to thank him for showing me how to try. Happy birthday, Dad, and thank you for the legacy.

Hospital plans expanded day care facility Culpeper Memorial Hospital announced the development of a child care center designed to accomodate up to 125 children. Anticipated to be completed in early 1991, the project has been made possible in large part by a significant contribution from S.W.I.F.T. The Early Learning Center of Culpeper will be located on Sunset Lane between Rappahannock Electric and the Physician’s Office Building. “CMH and S.W.I.F.T. are combining efforts to provide our employees and our community with high quality, affordable child care,” said Sue Vaught, CMH project coordinator. “Spaces not used by our employees will be available to others.” For four years CMH has successfully operated Culpeper’s only state licensed child care center in the Medical-Professional Building on Laurel Street. “The long waiting list for services at our current child care center demonstrated a large unmet need in our community for child care,” said Ms. Vaught. “This important project would not be possible without the financial help of S.W.I.F.T.,” said Bill Grav ely, president of CMH. “We invite other businesses to join this project,” said Ms. Vaught. “Their contributions could insure child care for their employees at costs lower than rates normally charged by the center. ” Designed by Spencer and Associates of Culpeper, the new building has 7,100 square feet, including a large indoor activity area, covered outdoor play area, and a drivethrough car port for drop-off service. Each classroom opens to the outdoor playground to reduce congestion, and each classroom has a restroom and closet. Licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services, the Early Learning Center will offer day care and learning opportunities for small children and sifter school and summer programs for older children. The center will be staffed with experienced and qualified personnel who meet the requirements of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Businesses who are interested in participating in this community effort may contact Sue Vaught at (703) 829-4100. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 1-800-852-4797 w jseasEf. RAYMOND B.

Vision problems in kids often remain undetected The wonders of the world are often seen through the eyes of a child. Yet without good vision, a child’s ability to learn about the world is lessened. Nationally, vision problems affect one in 20 preschoolers and one in four school age children. In Virginia it is estimated that 10,000 children may have a vision problem. “Just because your child doesn’t complain about his eyesight, you can’t assume that there aren’t any ADVERTISING : DEADLINES LOCAL DISPLAY ADVERTISING Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 1 2 Noon Combo Ads (One or more papers) Monday, 3 p.m. Real Estate Combo Ads Friday, 4 p.m. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rappahannock News Tuesday, 12 Noon Horse & Farm Monday, 12 Noon Combo Word Ads and Classified Display Monday, 3 p.m. vision problems. Most children believe that the way they see is the way everyone sees — even if vision is blurred, double or through only one eye,” said Frank Carlomango, Executive Director, National Society to Prevent Blindness — Virginia Affiliate. Some vision problems can be suspected from a child’s behavior and the appearance of the eyes. But the best way to find out if your child’s vision is normal is through regular eye exams beginning at the age of three. Early treatment of children’s vision problems is important because it can provide children with added potential to develop normal learning ability, personality and adjustment in school, Mr. Carlomagno said. Because some eye condition, if untreated, may worsen and become more difficult to correct later, here are some signs that can alert you to possible eye trouble in your child: • Rubs eyes excessively. • Shuts or covers one eye, tilts head or thrusts head forward. • Has difficulty in reading or in other work requiring close use of the eyes. • Blinks more than usual or is irritable when doing close work. • Is unable to see distant things clearly. • Squints eyelids together or frowns. For more information on your child’s sight write to National Society to Prevent Blindness — Virginia Affiliate, 3820 Augusta Ave, Richmond, Virginia 23230 or call (804)355-0773.

The versatile tomato By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Do you remember last winter and how badly you wanted a vine-ripened tomato to go into your tossed salad? Rather than buying artificially grown tomatoes you probably decided to wait the growing season out. Well, wait no longer! Tomatoes are ripe and very plentiful this season. Origin of tomatoes The tomato is native to the Americas. It was initially cultivated by Aztecs and Incas as early at 700 A.D. Europeans first saw the toff HOME ECONOMICS mato when the Conquistadors reached Mexico and Central America in the 16th Century. Tomato seeds were taken back to Europe where they quickly found favor in the Mediterranean countries — Spain, Portugal and Italy. As the tomato traveled north it was veiled in mystery. The French called it “The Apple of Love,” the Germans, “The Apple of Paradise.” The British, while admiring its brilliant red color, disclaimed the tomato as a food; they believed it was poisonous. This same fear persisted among colonists in the United States until the early 19th century. But in 1812 the Creoles in New Orleans put their cooking on the map with their tomato-enhanced gumbos —— and jambalayas. The people of Maine quickly followed suit, combining fresh tomatoes with local seafood. By 1860 the tomato was an important produce item in every American city. People were planting tomatoes in their home gardens while farmers commercially produced fresh tomatoes during spring and summer months. Fresh tomato nutrition Fresh tomatoes belong to the most colorful and varied basic four food groups — fruits and vegetables. And their nutritional offerings are as sweet as their flavor and aroma. A medium size tomato contains less than 30 calories. For that very modest amount of energy, tomatoes provide 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C and 20 percent of the Vitamin A allowance. They are also good sources of potassium and iron, but are naturally low in sodium and are virtually free of fat and cholesterol. That’s a real plus for those on special diets. Selecting tomatoes When buying tomatoes, look for those that are well-shaped and firm for their size. Ripe tomatoes will be slightly soft and deep red in color. Reject tomatoes that have green or yellow patches or deep growth cracks. Avoid buying tomatoes with bruises, mold, blemished and other USDA Choice Beef - Untrimmed (12-14 Lb.

Vine-ripened tomatoes will have a clean, fresh, tomato smell. Slightly under-ripe tomatoes will keep longer than ripe ones. If you want under-ripe tomatoes to reach a redder stage, don’t refrigerate them. Mushiness and mealiness are the results when under-ripe tomatoes are refrigerated. The best ripening conditions are warmth (65 to 70 degrees F.) and high humidity. Basic preparation To peel: Peeling fresh tomatoes is not necessary, unless the fruit is to be cooked. Heat causes skins to slip away from the flesh, so it is best to peel a tomato before adding it to a heated dish. To peel fresh tomatoes submerge them in a bowl of boiling water for about 30 seconds. Transfer to cold water and the skins will slip right off. To seed: Scrape seeds away from the flesh with a pointed utensil such as a grapefruit spoon, being careful not to puncture the skin. To slice: Using a serrated knife, slice tomatoes lengthwise, rather than crosswise, to retain juice. To stuff: Cut off stem and scoop out seeds and pulp with a sharp utensil, such as a grapefruit spoon, being careful not to puncture the skin. Sprinkle the cavity lightly with salt and turn upside down on a paper towel to drain. To stew: Place peeled whole or cut-up tomatoes in a saucepan without water. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar; add diced onion or green pepper, if desired. Simmer, tightly covered, over low heat until done, 10 to 15 minues, stirring occasionally. To broil: Remove core, halve crosswise or slice. Dot with butter; sprinkle with salt, pepper or other seasonings. Broil until tomatoes are tender and topping is lightly browned. Seasonings which enhance the flavor of tomatoes are basil, oregano, thyme, parsley and chives. To bake: Halve crosswise, dot with butter and season as desired. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees F.) 10 to 15 minutes. To microwave: Prepare as directed above for baking and microwave on High (100 percent Power) 3 to 4 minutes for four halves; 5 to 6 minutes for 6 to 8 halves.

Cuts Continued from page 1 matter. But he went further, to say that localities shouldn’t raise taxes either.” That, Mr. McCarthy said, infuriated many of the officials in Charlottesville. “It was a totally gratuitous comment — a judgement call with no firm basis . . . For him to say something like that puts a tremendous and unfair burden on local officials when he has no basis for knowing whether they can get by on budget cuts or not. “I would submit,” the county administrator continued, “that most rural counties cannot — precisely because there are no frills to cut out.” However, Mr. McCarthy added, though there has been no mention in his speeches, the governor has indicated in conversations with local officials that the plight of rural counties is recognized in Richmond. But how that will affect the coming budget cuts, the county administrator said, has not been spelled out. As for how the plan will affect Rappahannock County, Mr. McCarthy said, “he still hasn’t gotten too specific.” The decision to keep the real estate recordation tax in Richmond instead of returning it to the localities will cost the county about $40,000. And, a freeze on hiring places the county in a bind with its new jail addition. It had requested an extra position for the Sheriff’s Department, which would be filled with a cook to fix meals for the inmates in the jail’s new kitchen, which should be completed in the fall. School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel said he has received no firm figures on the extent of proposed cuts in state aid to education. The “speculation” among education officials, he said, is that the state will decrease aid by one to one and a half percent this year, and five percent next fiscal year. Depending on which state aid formula is used, the cut could mean a loss of between $11,000 and $30,000 this year, and as much as $80,000 to $100,000 next year, Dr. Gangel said. The superintendent said he has already presented the School Board and Board of Supervisors with an amended budget based on a projected loss of $20,000 in state aid this year. “We have tried to anticipate and be responsible, and not wait until it happens,” he explained. Right now, he said, the system has one teacher’s aide position that has not been filled, and it will be held open. If the cuts come down as anticipated, the position will most likely not be filled. No firm answers on the impact of state aid to education will come before early to mid-September, Dr. Gangel said. The state secretary of education and the state superintendent are scheduled to meet and work out figures, which will be presented to the governor for his review. Only then, he said, will localities learn how, and how much, the state’s contibution will be reduced. “The timing is really too bad,” Dr. Gangel added. With the school year about to begin, and personnel already signed to contracts for the coming year, local systems are placed in a real squeeze. If the cuts had been announced earlier in the summer, adjustments could possibly have been made in personnel needs, which make up the largest component of the budget. If, Dr. Gangel said, the state reduces its aid by five percent next year, “services and jobs are at stake with a cut that size.” With advance notice, he said, the shortfall can probably be handled through attrition, since some teachers leave at the end of every year. For Dr. Gangel, there were really “no surprises” in Gov. Wilder’s plan. Some educators thought that schools might be spared the budget axe, he said, “but that feeling was not shared by the entire state education community. There was no indication that it would be.” One specific suggestion in Gov. Wilder’s speech last week was that the state program to allow teachers a duty-free lunch period will be eliminated. Dr. Gangel said the county is committed to keeping that policy intact in Rappahannock’s schools. The state’s contribution to that, he said, Eappafjannocfe JJetflS now has direct lines for CLASSIFIED 1-800-852-4797 is a “pittance, not a significant amount of money. “Though he talked about that specifically,” Dr. Gangel said, “in terms of our school system, if that’s all the state takes away, I’d be extremely pleased.” Sheriff John Henry Woodward said Monday that he has not been able to determine whether or not his budget will be affected. He called the state Compensation Board in Richmond seeking answers, but got none. They were “unclear about whether it affects constitutional officers and their budgets or just state employees,” the sheriff said. Constitutional officers, including sheriffs, treasurers and Commonwealth’s attorneys, as well as their department budgets, are funded from a lump sum appropriation by the General Assembly to the Compensation Board. The Compensation Board doles out the money to localities under a formula which includes population and number of employees in each department. He added that he was told the Compensation Board has scheduled a meeting with top finance officials to resolve questions about whether the governor’s plan affects constitutional officers and their budgets, or just state employees. Mr. McCarthy said Tuesday evening that the officials in Charlottesville were told the two percent raise for constitutional officers and their staffs, scheduled for January, 1991, “will not happen.” Mr. McCarthy said that officials from Northern Virginia were particularly upset at the governor’s decision to keep the real estate recordation taxes, which in some larger counties amount to several million dollars each year. Northern Virginia, he explained, supported the huge project to overhaul U.S. 58 in Southside on the condition that the real estate recordation fees be returned to localities, specifically to help the burgeoning Northern Virginia counties with their transportation needs. Now, Mr. McCarthy said, they are “hopping mad” about what they regard as Richmond “backstabbing” local governments by taking the recordation fees back to help balance the state budget. And although the recordation fees represent a relatively modest sum in a small county like Rappahannock, Mr. MeCarthy said he shares the frustration of other local officials caught in Richmond’s budget squeeze. “It is offensive to have someone else put their fiscal house in order by putting mine into disarray.” Top junior breeder Photo courtesy American Angus Association GRAND CHAMPION HONORS in the “Owned” Cow/Calf Division at the Virginia Junior Angus Breeders Association Show go to Scott Updike of Washington (center).

DONALD Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer The summer reading program at the Rappahannock County Library, “Explore Your Library. . .For the Fun of It,” closed Wednesday evening, Aug. 15, with a ceremony at the library. In recognition of the readers having read 1,449 books, Newbill Miller presented the library a check for $1,000 from the Rappahannock National Bank. We deeply appreciate this generous gift and their recognition of the children’s accomplishments. “Puppets by Pizzazz” presented “Safari” by Jim Tucker and Mimi Butler. This proved to be a very exciting entertainment for the approxi Parents, teachers meet during RCES Fee Day Fee Day at Rappahannock County Elementary School will have some added elements this year, according to principal Bernard Chesshir and assistant principal Raye Tupper. In an effort to make the transition back into the new school year easier for parents and students, the school will hold a combined “Back to School/Fee Day” on Thursday, Aug. 30. The faculty and staff of the elementary school, along with members of the RCES Parent-Teacher Organization will be on hand from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. to assist parents and students. The schedule for the day’s activities will be as follows: 2-2:30 p.m.: Assembly for all parents and students in the elementary school’s multi-purpose room. This will be an informational gathering. 2:30-5 p.m.: Parents and students will visit classrooms to meet teachers. Each teacher will present information on the upcoming year’s classes and answer questions. They will also distribute textbook rental forms. Parents will then go to the cafeteria to pay fees and pick up additional information. 5- 6 p.m.: Dinner break for RCES faculty and staff. 6- 6:30 p.m.: Assembly in multi-purpose room (repeat of assembly conducted in the afternoon). 6:30-8 p.m.: Parents and students visit classrooms to meet teachers, pay fees in cafeteria and pick up information (repeat of afternoon activities). Parents, Mr. Chesshir said, “are strongly encouraged to attend either the 2 p.m. or the 6 p.m. assembly before going to classrooms. These are designed to be helpful for both students and parents.” For more information about Back to School Day/Fee Day at RCES, call the school office (9878259).

The staff of the library extends appreciation to all who helped Tupper Continued from page 1 pens, happens between the teacher and child in the classroom.” She said she is comfortable with the “whole language” approach to reading and writing being introduced to the elementary school because, although the name is different, she sees it as being essentially the same as the “language experience” approach that was stressed when she studied for her master’s degree in reading. When asked how she and Principal Bernard Chesshir will divide the responsibilities of administering the elementary school, Mrs. Tupper said each will work in their areas of strength, but “most things will be a team effort. They will be done together jointly, and I am comfortable with that. For most decisions we will ask for the input of staff as well, and I am very comfortable with that.” Mrs. Tupper said she was happy to find in Rappahannock now a good relationship between the Board of Supervisors, the School Board and the staff of the schools and noted that in the past the relationship had not always been good. The Tuppers are now living with Mr. Tupper’s parents in Washington and are looking for a home to buy in the area. “I am gratified to have the opportunity to serve the students and parents of the county, and I am excited about working alongside the fine staff of the public schools,” she concluded.

Zoning Continued from page 1 When the planners considered these amendments last Wednesday the one on group homes particularly concerned the members. “Concerning the mentally ill and mentally retarded, nowhere do we give them any protection at all,” Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said. He was par ticularly concerned with fire protection. “We’re allowing this to be done in old buildings,” he said. County Administrator John McCarthy said the law was passed because in the past some jurisdictions have used restrictions on group homes as a way to exclude them. ‘We may have substandard housing for precisely the people who shouldn’t have substandard housing,” he said, but he explained that the county couldn’t put any restrictions on buildings used for such purposes that wouldn’t also apply to any Biker Continued from page 1 was treated for minor injuries and released. David Hunt was also taken to CMH, and was tranferred later that afternoon to the U.Va. Medical Center for evaluation and treatment of a serious back injury. Trooper Moore said that his investigation is continuing, but that charges will probably not be placed in the accident. Fire and rescue personnel from the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, Sperryville Casting call for mystery A casting call for “Dial ‘M’ for Murder,” has been set for Saturday, Aug. 25 at 2 p.m. and on Sunday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m., at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall in Culpeper. The play, a Windmore Foundation for the Arts production, has six characters and will be directed by Grahame Henson. Dr. Henson last directed the Fall 1989 production of “Inherit the Wind.” “I’m looking for young, old, white, black, experienced and nonexperienced actors,” he said. Back stage crews are also needed and encouraged to attend the auditions to express their interest. For more information, contact Dr. Henson at (703)825-8492. Volunteer Rescue Squad and Washington VFD responded to the accident. Trooper Moore charged David M. Rowzie, 22, of Amissville, with reckless driving following a one-car accident last Wednesday on Route 643, 9/10 mile north of U.S. 211. Rowzie, according to the accident report filed by Trooper Moore, failed to negotiate a curve, lost control of his 1982 Toyota pick-up, ran off the right side of the road and into a ditch, where the truck overturned. Rowzie was pinned in the truck, and was extricated by members of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. He was taken to CMH, where he was treated for a minor head injury and released. Charges are still pending in the fatal accident on Aug. 5 on U.S. 211 in Culpeper County, according to State Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell. The driver of the car, Melodi A. Goldston, 26, of Manassas, has been released from the U.Va. Medical Center in Charlottesville, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Mr. McCarthy said that fire code and building code restrictions would apply to any new construction and that the state could protect people in such homes through its licensing procedure, but the county cannot add any additional restrictions. Mr. McCarthy had originally drafted the amendment to allow permanent mobile homes that are at least 19.5 feet wide anywhere in the county that single family dwellings are allowed. The law passed by this year’s General Assembly only required that they be allowed in agriculturally zoned land. Board of Supervisors’representative Mike Massie said, “I thought it was only agriculture zoning. The conservation zone isn’t an agriculture zone.” Mr. McCarthy said, “I’m not dead set on keeping them out of the conservation zone. This doesn’t do that much to open up the door.” Hampton District representative John Clark Jr. said, “If they’re allowed in R-2 and R-5, you could get in a lot. That would be more trouble than allowing them in conservation.” “There are a lot of 20-foot wide houses in the county,” Dr. Krebser pointed out. The planners agreed to advertise for the change to allow mobile homes only in agriculturally zoned land, but indicated they might allow them in other zoning categories after the public hearing. At the meeting the planners also gave approval to the site plan for the new library. Hearings on the Lee family apartment and Settle garage rezoning were postponed until the September meeting. r SAM CLIFFTON DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT 703-675-3915 Quality Design & Construction in Rappahannock County since 1980.

Next month, the debate over funding will move closer to home as well. On Saturday, Sept. 8, following the opening reception for the “Sacred Cows” exhibition at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, the gallery will sponsor a panel discussion titled “Sacred Cows: Arts in Crisis.” Among the four panelists are several who have found themselves personally involved in the controversy over the arts. Lynn Schmidt is a painter and sculptor who lives in Arlington. She is the chairwoman of the board of directors of the Washington Project for the Arts, the gallery which finally exhibited Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs. Meredith Rode is a painter and a teacher at the University of the District of Columbia. She has written a paper on the subject of art and its appreciation titled, “Angels, Aztecs and Andy Warhol, or, What Do We Appreciate When We Appreciate Art?” Alice Sims is a painter living in Alexandria who has exhibited in Washington, D.C. She found herself accused of child pornography after photos she had taken of her children, which she uses as models for her detailed colored pencil drawings, were reported by a drugstore photo lab to the police. The accusation was quickly resolved by a District Court judge, but not before Mrs. Sims’ two children were placed in protective custody overnight by the Department of Social Services. Douglas Baumgardner is an attorney in Washington, and is active in Virginia politics. He serves as the chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee. He will bring to the panel an insight into the political and legal realities of the issue, which are both also elements of the continuing controversy. The moderator for the evening’s discussion will be Nol Putnam, who has established a national reputation as a blacksmith, artist and teacher. According to Lois Manookian, who is organizing the panel for the gallery, each panel member will pre sent an introduction and their personal point of view. The discussion, she added, will revolve around “the fact that art is important. . . and the legal and moral ramifications of funding for the arts. How can we limit it without censoring it? “I’d like people,” Mrs. Manookian said, “to think about this issue and come to the discussion loaded for bear.” She issued a particular invitation to those who oppose public funding for the arts. “We’d like to have a robust and vigorous debate. A dialogue is definitely what we’re seeking — that’s why we’re having a moderator.” The “Sacred Cows” exhibit opens Sept. 1 at Middle Street Gallery, and will hang through September. The opening reception will be held at the gallery on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The panel discussion will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall on Gay Street in Washington. Both events are free and the public is invited to attend. For more information about either event, or about other activities sponsored by Middle Street Gallery, call (703) 675-3440.
