In-county masters program proves popular with teachers By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer More than 30 of Rappahannock’s public school teachers have started on a program that could lead them to masters’ degrees in three years. The program is being supported jointly by the school system and Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Winchester. The teachers will take one course per semester and at least one course during the summer taught at the high school. This semester they are taking Classroom Management/School Climate. The first class met Sept. 10. Shenandoah arranges for teachers for the courses. Tom Woodall, principal at Lovettsville Elementary School in Loudoun County, is teaching the course this fall. During a recent class session Mr. Woodall led the class in small group work, reminiscing about their own experiences as students. The groups of teachers developed lists of characteristics of favorite teachers and described their experiences with their least favorite teachers. The purpose of the course is to help teachers create an atmosphere in their classrooms that will lead to enthusiastic learning. The cost of the program is $300 per course per teacher, considerably below Shenandoah’s usual tuition of more than $800 per course. The cost is being split with the teachers and the school system each paying half. Dr. Joel Stegall, academic vicepresident at Shenandoah, told the school board that he is very pleased with the partnership between the college and the school system. He said that while the teachers will ben efit by being able to earn the degrees at reasonable cost without having to commute outside the county, their students will be the ultimate beneficiaries from having better prepared teachers. This spring elementary teachers will take a course in “whole language” and the high school teachers tk^te a course in “writing in the content areas.” This summer a course in curriculum development and evaluation will be offered. The program leads to a Masters of Science degree with an emphasis in teaching. Teachers will be expected to pick up an additional six credits in their areas of endorsement. School Superintendent David Gangel said that if there is enough See MASTERS, p. B-5 Settle's Garage rezoning wins planners' nod JBy SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer inning Commission last Wednesday approved r the Settles’ Garage in Flint Hill, approved Marlina Lee’s request for a special use permit y apartment for Mr. Lee’s mother on their ar Castleton and approved a special exception for Joseph Santullo to subdivide his slightly more than 10-acre property near Amissville into two lots of 6.74 acres and 3.3 acres. The members delayed taking action on Carson and Aline Johnson’s request to rezone about 8.5 acres near Sperryville from Rural Residential (RR) to Village Residential (VR) and Philip Johnson’s request for a special use permit for a family apartment for his brother on property near the Fodderstack Road. Only the decision on the Santullo subdivision was without controversy. John Baumgardner reported that he had done the survey work for Mr. Santullo and that the property was irregularly shaped. Normally such a property zoned RR could be divided into two parcels at least five acres each. Mr. Baumgardner reported that to divide the property equally would result in two lots which were even more strangely shaped. The zoning ordinance allows subdivision that creates lots smaller than five acres if the average density remains one lot per five acres. No one spoke in opposition to this division, and the planners sent the request for a special exception on to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation that it be approved. Earlier they had recommended approval for rezoning property owned by Richard and Ester Settle behind their garage in Flint Hill. The rezoning would extend the Village Commercial zoning of the service station to property behind the service station that has been zoned VilSee REZONING, p. B-5 Four bid for library project Four companies submitted bids for constructing the new library, ranging in cost from $478,570 to $567,300. The lowest bid was submitted by Moss Construction Company of Harrisonburg. The next lowest $495,570 was submitted by Nielsen Construction Company, also of Harrisonburg. Members of the Library Board did not make a decision on awarding the contract at their meeting Monday evening. Some of them have been visiting sites of projects of the two lowest bidders. The project was advertised under provisions in the Code of Virginia for competitive negotiation rather than by sealed bid, which would have required the owner to take the lowest bid unless that bidder was found to be not responsive or not responsible. See LIBRARY, p. B-5 Town Dostoones revision of Comprehensive Plan By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town of Washington’s Planning Commission decided to postpone work on revising the Comprehensive Plan until it has finished working on revisions to the subdivision ordinance. The planners submitted their recommendation for a new subdivision ordinance to the Town Council in the summer of 1989. The council referred it to a joint subcommittee of council members and planners for further study. At Monday evening’s meeting member Susan Parrish, who represents the council, said she had received that afternoon a seven-page list of recommendations from the committee. Most of the recommendations were for more detailed provisions to be included in the ordinance and most of them also called for input from town attorney Frank Reynolds, Mrs. Parrish said. The committee’s recommendations covered such areas as private streets, street lighting and septic systems to serve clustered housing. None of the other members had received copies of the recommendations. Mrs. Parrish said she would consult with Mr. Reynolds and make sure all the planners got a copy of the committee’s recommendations. The planners then set Monday evening, Oct. 8 for a work session on the ordinance. The commissioners also considered a memo from Mr. Reynolds about their request for information on how to handle the See PLAN, p. B-5 Literacy group to reorganize By LEE BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer At 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, the local literacy group, known as Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) Rappahannock, will meet in the Courthouse in Washington to enroll members and elect its first Board of Directors. The group will also hear Dr. David M. Gangel, Superintendent "of Rappahannock* Public Schools, talk on high school dropouts, a subject related to functional illiteracy in the county. Dr. Gangel will speak on the subject of “High School Dropouts in Rappahannock County; What are the Causes of Dropping Out? Why Should We Care? What Can We Do About It?” Since the success of the group’s programs will depend on the active support and participation of a broad segment of the community, all persons having an interest in the subject of literacy are not only w elcome but encouraged to come and enroll as charter members of LVA Rappahannock. The annual dues will be $5. Data compiled as of the 1980 decennial census indicate that both poverty, and its frequent attendant, functional illiteracy, were prevalent in Rappahannock County. Indeed, one-fourth of all families in the county then had a family income of less than $10,000, and about one-third of adults over the age of 25 had at that time completed seven years of school or less. The aim of LVA Rappahannock is to alleviate the lack of formal eduation among some citizens of the county as one means of empowering them to lead more fulfilling lives. To do this, the organization has three programs: helping adult non-readers learn to read and write, teaching English to those who speak other languages, and tutoring candidates for high school equivalency certificates. At present, LVA Rappahannock has 12 volunteers See LITERACY, p.

Franklin B. Reynolds, Jr. Attorney for the Town of Washington, Virginia Hospice of the Rapidan receives state license Ten years ago, the Commonwealth of Virginia enacted legislation requiring all Hospices to meet minimum standards of care. Hospice staffs and supporters have been writing and revising those regulations for the last decade while guaranteeing quality hospice care. On April 11, the Board of Health enacted regulations requiring any organization or agency representing itself as a hospice providing a coordinated program of home and inpatient care to terminally ill patients to be licensed. Hospices have a minimum of six months from the effective date to apply for licensure. Section 32.1-162.1 of the Code of Virginia determines that a hospice must utilize a medically directed interdisciplinary team “meeting the physical, psychological, social, spiritual and other special needs which are experienced during the final stages of illness, during dying and bereavement.” Licensure grants the Commonwealth jurisdiction over the provision of services a hospice offers to the public. It ensures the public that it can expect the full range of Hospice services. On Aug. 28, Hospice of the Rapidan Inc., serving Orange, Madison, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties was surveyed and recommended for licensure approval. Only three of 42 Virginia hospices are recommended for licensure at this time. Executive Director of Hospice of the Rapidan and Chairman of the Virginia Association for Hospices’ Legislative Committee, Tina Hackney Weaver, comments, “It is quite a relief to finally complete this process. It has taken three years of hard work to meet the 53 pages of regulations. We are proud to tell the public that an outside party has scrutinized our policies, organization, and patient care finding no areas of concern. This verifies what Hospice of the Rapidan’s patients and families knew — we give excellent care.” Hospice of the Rapidan is also Medicare certified. All Medicare Part A beneficiaries are eligible for the Hospice Medicare Benefit after admission to the hospice program. Under the Benefit, hospice provides nursing care, medical social services, counseling services, shortterm in-patient care, medical equipment, home health aide services, drugs, and bereavement counseling. Medicare reimburses the hospice with no deductible from the patient. “Patients and their families find the Medicare Benefit too good to be true,” said Ms. Weaver. “They are amazed and so grateful when the rental equipment and drug bills stop. For some families it alleviates the need to wipe out a lifetime of savings.” “We are very grateful for the communities’ support. Without generous donations and United Way’s support, Hospice may not have survived the licensure and Medicare process,” she added. IRS offers tax relief to soldiers, hostages me internal itevenue service is extending its policy of providing administrative relief to taxpayers in hostage situations by suspending tax examination and collection actions involving U.S. citizens detained in Iraq and Kuwait. To implement the relief policy IRS needs to hear from family members of hostages. Family members of detained citizens should call a special toll-free number, (800) 829-4351, as soon as possible so that IRS international taxpayer service representatives can take steps to suspend actions already scheduled or underway and prevent actions from being schedA uled. IRS explained that it has no way of knowing for certain the identity of hostages but that once alerted it can take steps to provide the relief. Callers should be prepared to provide IRS the names and social security numbers of detained citizens, along with any information they may be aware of concerning ongoing actions with the IRS. Examination and collection actions that can be precluded or suspended include audits of tax returns r i\appaljannocU jSttos now has direct lines for CLASSIFIED AND EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING 1-800-852-4797 Arundel Newspapers Advertise locally & surrounding counties! and mailings of notices or other actions involving the collection of overdue taxes. IRS advises reservists called to active duty and military personnel assigned to Operation Desert Sheild, or their family members, to use the regular toll-free federal tax assistance number (800) 424-1040 until Oct. 1, then (800) 829-1040 after Oct. 1 for information they need. Reservists and military personnel or their family members should promptly contact IRS in response to correspondence received regarding an examination or past due taxes so that alternatives may be considered, such as postponing an examination or a payment. Certain tax refund situations may also be expedited by calling the above numbers. IRS recently issued guidance on the continuation of health coverage provided by employers to employees called to active military reserve duty. Employers may voluntarily maintain coverage. Where coverage is not maintained, certain group health plans must offer reservists, and families if covered under the plans, an election to continue coverage at their own expense.

Slaughter declines debate invitations Smith regards Fauquier as 'keg By BURKE DAVIS III Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer It appears unlikely that U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter, R-7th Dist., and Democratic challenger David M. Smith will square off face to face in this year’s campaign. Mr. Smith has repeatedly called for debates, and with a recent poll showing that Rep. Slaughter may be 'highly vulnerable, his campaign strategists are turning up the heat. ■ Mr. Smith and his aides are implying - that the congressman’s handlers are afraid to let their candidate speak •• out in public. The two candidates are scheduled to appear at a Fauquier Board i, of Realtors dinner-meeting Wednes. day night at Airlie House near Warrenton. But they and the three candidates for the county treasurer’s job each will be given only five min, utes to address the audience. The event is a joint appearance t to summarize their platforms and not a forum. Mr. Smith and the three treasurer candidates also have accepted “ an invitation to attend a candidates’ night scheduled for Oct. 8 at War' renton Junior High School and sponsored by the Times-Democrat and the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. “I will be there,” said Mr. Smith. His staff said the Democrat looks upon Fauquier as a “key county” in the huge district. Rep. Slaughter’s campaign manager confirmed on Tuesday that the congressman won’t be able to attend. Rep. Slaughter, he said, has previous engagements both on Oct. 8 and on Oct. 15, an alternate evening also suggested. “I am beginning to wonder if I will stand there that night to debate an empty chair,” said Mr. Smith early this week. “While that makes for interesting photographs, it does nothing to help the voters understand the differences between us,” he said. “He’s looking for credibility,” countered Slaughter campaign manager Tony Likins of Smith’s desire for a matchup. “We’re not going to provide him a forum to do that.” “Having a part-time candidate is " giving me headaches,” said Mr. Likins, “but I’d rather have a full-time congressman.” Likins denies that Rep. Slaughter is avoiding the issues, as Mr. Smith charges, or that he will compare poorly with the challenger in debate. “He’s held over 200 town meetings throughout the district during his tenure,” Mr. Likins said. “He’s voted on important issues in the House. He has a long career spanning 20 years of answering questions. His views are very well known.” The Smith campaign is using a tape recorded radio broadcast of an interview with Rep. Slaughter to back up their claim that the congressman’s campaign is hiding him from view in order to hide incompetence. On the tape, Rep. Slaughter rambles in response to some of the questions posed by the host of an early-morning radio show in Winchester. Last week Rep. Slaughter cancelled an engagement to appear with Mr. Smith at, an event in Winchester arranged by the city’s Business and Professional Women. Mr. Smith set a tape recorder on the stage and debated that. Mr. Likins said last week that the congressman was backing out of the appearance before the Winchester BPW because of “prior commitments.” In general, the blame goes to Congress for running late, Mr. Likins said. “French Slaughter is not going to miss votes to do campaign business,” Mr. Likins said. “It’s a campaign scheduling nightmare. But he is absolutely adamant. He has one of the highest voting percentage records in the House.” If the budget negotiations permit, Congress may recess in mid- or late October, Mr. Likins said. Only then would Rep. Slaughter be ready to debate his opponent. He has been requested to appear at 63 functions, Mr. Likins said. Rep. Slaughter has a commitment to appear this week before the Fauquier County Board of Realtors at an event not open to the public. The candidates’ night will probably not include a question period, according to a board spokesperson. “Congressmen manage to get home to California and Oregon to debate publicly,” said Smith aide Ellis Woodward last week. “It’s ridiculous to argue that French Slaughter is too busy to meet the people just 70 miles away.” Mr. Woodward charges that Rep. Slaughter is afraid of the issues, particularly abortion. Another factor, Woodward says, is that the Slaughter campaign is running scared. The numbers don’t look good for Slaughter, according to the Smith camp. In a poll commissioned by the Smith campaign, voters gave Slaughter a 48 percent rating of “favorable.” “If it’s less than 50 percent, the incumbent is generally viewed as vulnerable,” Mr. Woodward said. The poll by Donilon and Petts Research, Inc. also found that only 23 percent of voters “definitely” want to re-elect Slaughter, and 21 percent would “probably” re-elect the incumbent Republican. “The standard rule in polling is that an incumbent with fewer than 50 percent of the voters willing to reelect him or her is considered vulnerable,” the pollsters said. AIDS play in Madison AIDS is killing our babies, killing our mothers Killing our black/white sisters and brothers It’s killing our youth, our tomorrow stars, Those that live near and those that live far. The above rap song is from the dramatic play “Til Death Do Us Part” being brought to Madison County through the combined efforts of the volunteers of Project M.O.R.E. and the AIDS Support Group. Performed live by the Everyday Theater Youth Ensemble of Washington, D.C., “Til Death Do Us Part” is a musical drama with the poignant message that unwise choices concerning drug abuse and sex can lead to death through AIDS, according to district health educator Sarah Jane Lee. The play was written, composed, choreographed, and produced by Washington, D.C. youth under the direction of the staff of the Everyday Theater. It includes slow ballads and rap songs accompanied by electronic guitar, saxophone, and keyboards. The play has been performed before numerous high schools, colleges, church groups, and health fairs in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and nationally. “Bringing the play to Madison County was decision of volunteers of the Minority Outreach Education Project funded through the Virginia AIDS Service and Education Grant,” explained Miss Lee. “Volunteers represent different churches in the area who feel youth need to be educated about the real danger of AIDS.” The play will be performed at the Madison High School Auditorium on Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. Admission is free.

This year’s dates and times are Saturday, Oct. 20, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 21, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. From the present to just before tour and sale opening day the Parish Hall is a workshop with plastic on the floor, long work tables, dried flowers nearly from floor to ceiling, boxes and crates of pots, dishes, baskets, urns, vases and other containers to hold hundreds of arrangements put together by the ladies of Trinity Church and others in the county. Since spring many have been growing flowers in their gardens, nurturing them thru drought and downpour to help fill those pots and other containers. Field and forest, “where the wild things are” have been scoured for their product. Grasses, ferns, milkweed, Joe Pye weed and many other wild growths are incorporated in the arrangements; boxwood hedges, which probably needed trimming anyway, add their input. All this greenery is carefully hung in attics and garages to dry; flowers are either hung or kept in sand to preserve their color. In the Parish Hall they are snipped, trimmed and clipped, added to artifacts or bits of dried wood to make lovely arrangements which will grace tables in homes from here to Maine, Ohio and Georgia. Arrangements vary in size from a tea-cup to add some color to a display of crystal in a china cabinet to large library or dining table centerpieces to add the fall touch to Thanksgiving dinner or additional color to Christmas. Visitors interested in these decorator items for themselves or for unique gifts are advised to come early. Since there are no “pre-opening sales,” the lines will be there on Saturday at 11 a.m. The other part of the weekend activities is the tour of three Rappahannock County homes. These are chosen for their historic or architectural interest and this year feature a contemporary and twoportions of which date back to the mid and late 18th century. We begin with the home of Herman and Carol Beard on Route 622 in Harris Hollow. This consists of two log homes, one formerly known as Riverside built on the site between 1780 and 1800, and joined to it, another built possibly about 1740. Coming back into Washington, down Salem Avenue and almost to U.S. 211 we find "Home Base”, the new home of Judge Raynor and Lois Snead, built by them in 1988 and situated a few hundred yards from “Fairlea” which they built in 1960. Home Base derives its name from the fact that it is located on what had been the baseball diamond of the former Washington Elementary School across the street. This cedar-sided contemporary Victorian farm house, with dormers and large porch, is reminiscent of farm houses of the Mid-West. It is surrounded by lawns and colorful flower borders with a formal garden in the rear from which there is a lovely view to the mountains in the west. Its outside appearance blies the interior with its suprising amount of living space. In the dormer is a complete, roomy, two bedroom, two bath apartment with a fireplace in its living room, plus an attic. Crossing U.S. 211, two miles down Route 626 in Tiger Valley, we come to “The Oaks,” home of Bob and ^loan Herrema. The original four-room log house was built in 1749, expanded with a dining room j.

Early Sunday morning the mayor called the Sheriffs Department after observing what he called “disorderly conduct” in the parking lot of the Country Cafe on Main Street. Steven Edward Baldwin Jr., 20, of Front Royal, Jerry C. Pullen, 29, of Washington, and William Edward Settle, 18, also of Washington, were arrested and charged with being drunk in public. Mayor Morehouse said that he sat on a bench across from the parking lot about 2:30 Sunday morning aand watched as the three “cursed and fought in the parking lot.” After watching them for some time, he said, he called the Sheriffs Department and lodged a formal complaint about the conduct he had witnessed. Several sheriffs deputies responded to his complaint and made the arrests. The mayor had promised “strict enforcement” of state statutes against disorderly conduct, public drunkeness and unlawful assembly if the group which has gathered in the Trinity Church parking lot and the Cafe parking lot all summer did not stop the behavior which had brought numerous complaints from town residents and visitors. “It’s unfortunate that it came to this,” the mayor said on Sunday afternoon. He said the action was taken only after several sessions with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and Town Attorney Frank Reynolds where the applicable ordinances were reviewed. “It has been a lenghty process,” the mayor said. But, as he had told the group of young people, including Jerry Pullen, who attended the Town Council’s meeting on Sept. 12, Mr. Morehouse repeated his assertion that “guests, visitors and residents have rights as well,” and he promised that the town will continue to enforce ordinances regulating gatherings in public places. “I just want them to know that if you’ve got time on your hands and want to cut up and disobey the law, you’d better not do it in town. We’re going to get you — no maybe’s about it,” Mr. Morehouse concluded. Music needed C. M. Crockett Park and the Piedmont Chamber Orchestra are looking for groups to perform in a musical extravaganza hosted by the park on Saturday, Oct. 13. Each act will be allowed a maximum of 30 minutes.

The mayor's stand We too, are sorry that the confrontation between a group of young people who hang out around Washington’s Post Office and Trinity Church and the town government has escalated to the point where three of the group were arrested early last Sunday morning. Mayor Dean Morehouse requested the Sheriffs Department’s assistance, he said, after watching them roughhousing and cursing in the Post Office parking lot at about 2:30 a.m. Sheriffs deputies arrested the trio for public drunkenness. We will make the point right now that the three are presumed innocent of the charges until found guilty by a court. That is their right. But as Mayor Morehouse told the Town Council — and several members of the group who attended its September meeting — the town’s residents, guests and visitors have rights too. They have the right to sleep through the night without being disturbed by loud, rude and sometimes obscene language, by cars racing up and down the town’s streets, and by the other behavior which has drawn repeated and increasingly vociferous complaints to the council members. We don’t know exactly what happened outside the Post Office last Sunday morning. If the cases go to court, perhaps an explanation will be offered then. We do know one thing, however. One of the complaints of the group is that there is nothing for them to to, and no place for them to go. In this situation, that doesn’t wash. Even if there were a community center or other “hangout,” it would be closed at 2:30 a.m. There are precious few places, even in large cities, where people of any age can go to gather — legally —at 2:30 a.m. Perhaps Councilman Newbill Miller offered the best advice to the young people. Though he opposed Mayor Morehouse’s “get tough” stand, he suggested that the young people abandon the confrontation. “You have too much to lose to fight this — and you will lose,” he told the members of the group who attended the council meeting. Mr. Miller’s advice is wise counsel. The town is not trying to make examples of anyone, or trying to run anyone out of towm. But it does have a legitimate concern in protecting the privacy, peace and quiet of the majority of its residents, as well as visitors to the town and its businesses. We support the Mayor’s concern, and the council’s action in dealing with the problem. We hope that since it has been demonstrated that the towrn’s resolve is real and not just another idle threat, that the confrontational tactics will be abandoned and some sort of solution worked out. That would be to the long-term benefit of all the towm’s residents, and is the only avenue w hich leads to a constructive resolution of the problem. Rappahannock Heritage FRESHLY ROLLED HAY sits in a field outside Sperryville. Rappahannock News phoio/Lou Hatter Letters to the editor Mr. Bird laid an egg io tne editor: Several years ago, I worked in the same office as a young lady whose last name was Marsh. In our time there, we heard every “wet” joke there ever was and possibly ever will be. Mr. Bird, however, does have one first to his credit: he is the first male bird in history to lay an egg, and it is a biggie. The budget deficit is due to entitlements, not to the defense budget, which, as I have said before, is probably the federal government’s only legitimate responsibility. In terms of percentage, the defense budget is getting smaller all the time, unlike the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security. The S & L crisis is a direct result not of deregulation, but of the failure to discard at the same time the (federal) insurance that promised to relieve all S & L executives of responsibility to their actions. The educational system that Mr. Bird has so low an opinion of was one of the envies of the world before federal money took control of it. I used to be proud of being, from start to finish, a product of the public school system of the state of New York. Not any more. As to the drug problem and "the poverty and neglect affecting our major cities,” I am convinced that they are directly due to the educational problem. This country is being operated by many people who have little knowledge of and no respect for the history, the geography, and the generosity of spirit that once made it great. THE GREAT DEBATE^ hey: you wanna' DEBATE ?! LET'S START, WITH PAYMENT OF TAXES// PcARi CAREFUL THERE; THAT DOOR SWINGS BOTH WAYS / As to the pollution problem, as long as exciting propaganda about “global heating” is given more attention in the public media than matter of fact descriptions of what is really happening, that is, that we are constantly improving in this respect, the blame and the responsibility will constantly be foisted onto the federal government, which should have nothing to do with it, because once the federal foot steps into the industrial terrain, it drowns in the quicksand of its own ignorance and arrogance, and makes a fine mess for us, the taxpayers, to dig ourselves out of. Now, as to the endangerment of the integrity of the arts by federal subsidy, what Egypt has to do with it, I can’t imagine. Does Mr. Bird believe for one minute that the Pharaohs event pretended to govern by the consent of the governed? Or the rulers of ancient Greece? These were governments operated by men who called themselves gods, which ideas are occasionally showing up in Washington, but I am not in favor of them. As to art commissioned by the Church, I am all in favor of it. Nevertheless, should I refuse to pay for it, my pastor, my bishop, and my Pope, however much annoyed with me, can not put me behind bars; the IRS can. When I said what I did about integrity, I wasn’t indulging in airy generalities. I was talking about a specific situation. In Chicago, several years ago, a group of people, enraged by an exhibition, marched into the place where it was held, removed it from the wall where it hung, and took it I know not where, nor do I know what has happened to it since. Were there protests? Oh, yes, sort of. It took the threat of losing federal money because of the Serrano and Mapplethorpe exhibitions to get the self-styled artistic community marching out into the streets, collecting money (ah there! So it can be done privately), generally whooping it up in the streets and in editorial columns everywhere. After all, it was only in Chicago, it was only in an art school, the artist was only a student. The artistic community should have been out in droves to protect that student’s right to his own vision of reality, puerile as it was, but there wasn’t a drove in sight. Of course, it might not have been just the money. It probably helped that the exhibition offended left liberal Democrats and not conservative Republicans. I can imagine the “artistic” reaction if Jesse Helms had made the slightest gesture toward touching the Serrano work, never mind in Chicago. In Livengood, Alaska, say. The uproar would have been heard in Key West. At high tide. During a hurricane. You want to talk wet? EDITH POND Sperryville M Hold officials accountable To the editor: With the coming elections in November, there are some very important decisions to be made by the taxpayers in the State of Virginia. In addition to the local bond referenda, there are four proposed state constitutional amendments which have received scant publicity but which will have far-reaching effects for every citizen in the Commonwealth. Amendment 1 authorizes a lower tax on personal property belonging to persons 65 and over and for those persons who are permanently and totally disabled. Amendment 2 proposes that proceeds from property seized and forfeited to the Commonwealth for drug law violations be used to promote law enforcement. These are excellent and we hope they will be easily adopted. However, 3 and 4 are a different matter entirely. Amendment 3 gives blanket long-term authority to local Boards of Supervisors to sell “Pledge Bonds.” Pledge bonds are bonds which will be repaid or “pledged” with future tax dollars for transportation purposes. While the concept may or may not be debated, the real kicker here is that it permits the issuance of these bonds exempt from voter approval requirements and municipal debt limits. At present, the board must come to the voters to seek approval for any bond issuance. Amendment 3 would issue a new credit card and give localities a blank check. Amendment 4 is authorizing a new category of state debt for transportation purposes. Unlike 3, there are certain controls built in, but it eliminates the input or the will of the voter altogether. These amendments ask the taxpayer to change what is a very sensible law. When governments want to borrow funds, they must ask for the citizens’ approval through referendum. This allows the citizens to review the proposal and to make up their minds as to the merit of the bond. Will the funds be wisely spent? Is the amount borrowed prudent? Can wasteful spending be cut? When the State Constitution must be changed to circumvent the voter, something is afoul. This is no mere technical adjustment!! This is a step backward in the ability of the citizens to hold elected officials accountable for their actions. With projected shortfalls rampant, fiscal responsibility should be the order of the day. Make no mistake, roads and road projects are needed and needed now. However, if politicians can’t say no to special interest groups and pet pork barrel projects and muster the courage to bring about a responsible plan for solving our transportation problems involving us, the voters who will pay the bill, then let’s get people in office who will. Politicians must remain accountable for their deeds, not unaccountable for their debt! Remember, we the citizens of Virginia do not have the right to recall, do not have the right to sponsor an initiated referendum and do not have the right to elect a school board. Are we willing to forfeit one of the precious rights we now enjoy - to vote. I say no! Vote no on Amendments 3 and 4 in November. MARCIA P. DYKES Great Falls Best government is least To the editor: I am a mother of school and preschool age children; hence, my special interest in education and family issues in general. It is not difficult to see that the traditional family is under great attack by the liberals on Capital Hill and other government bodies across this country. The family is the bedrock of our society, and the backbone of the U.S. economy. The family functions as both the first “Department of Health and Human Services” and the first “Department of Education. ’ Its rcje in a free, democratic republic is not only to care for its members, but to transfer to future generations the principles which made America a great nation, and to successfully prepare them to master the challenges which the 21st century will impose. It is imperative that the well-being of the family be maintained even in the complexity of the modem era. In contrast, every totalitarian movement in the 20th Century has tried to crush family life. The essence of such systems and state socialism has been to substitute the power of the State for the rights, responsibilities and authority of the family. This is an alarming trend, for everywhere the same equation holds true: Where there are strong families, the freedom of the individual expands and the reach of the State contracts. Where family life weakens and fails, government advances and intrudes, and ultimately compels. The role of the family in America should be stressed and not ignored or undermined by government. In the current election campaign the two opposing views are paramount to all other issues in my opinion. These two views are reflected in proposed “child care/day care” legislation.

Gov. Wilder's budget-cutting plan spreads objections across the board By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Paul W. Timmereck, Virginia’s Finance Secretary, may not have been as shrewd about forecasting state revenues, but his commentary about Gov. Wilder’s plan to cut a projected $1.4 billion deficit was right on the mark. “There’s something in the recommendations. . .for everybody to object to,” said Sec, Timmereck soon after Wilder had unveiled his drastic plan to curb government spending and cut aid to localities and education. Since the Governor had already ruled out tax increases to shrink the deficit, some kind of painful cuts were the only answer left. Yet that doesn’t make them the least bit more palatable to those who must suffer them. The state’s thousands of employees, for instance, are unhappy with the suggestions and for more than 1,000 of them the plan will mean losing their jobs. A nurse with the Virginia Department of Health told this columnist when she learned she would not get the raise next January the General Assembly had voted earlier, “I think it’s very unfair. They’re going to increase what we pay for health benefits in January and that means that come the first of the year I’ll actually make $80 a month less. ” Since she and her husband have just bought a house, the nurse noted, they’re going to feel a severe pinch. “I’m already starting to look around for something else. . .you can’t take the state’s word for anything.” Another state employee who Old Dominion Politics works for the Transportation Department said. “Whenever they mess up down in Richmond, we’re always the first ones to take the hit. This has happened before, you know. A couple years ago we were rolling in money and now they’ve (expletive deleted) it all away.” He suggested that if Gov. Wilder wasn’t willing to increase taxes to solve the deficit problem, “At least he should use all the lottery money for it. Instead of messing with people’s lives, let them delay building all those fancy state buildings and college buildings they’re talking about.” The Wilder plan, as Sec. Timmereck astutely noted, causes anguish practically across the board. Local governments are particularly unhappy since they will face substantial reductions in state aid. The plan prompted the Virginia Municipal League to ask Gov. Wilder and the General Assembly to remove some of the state-mandated programs until the crisis passes and full funding to localities is restored. And Northern Virginia legislators got together to discuss how to change the Governor’s mind about taking back $20 million that region had had been promised as a part of a political deal. The deal came about when some of Northern Virginia’s money was used to widen U.S. 58 which runs along the southern border of Virginia. As a tradeoff, the General Assembly said Northern Virginia governments could retain an additional $20 million a year in real estate filing taxes for 20 years and dedicate the money to transportation and education. Del. Leslie L. Byrne, a Fairfax Democrat and past strong supporter of Wilder’s, said his fiscal plan reneges on the deal. “It’s like playing a carnival game,” she said, “You knock down the milk bottles and then they tell you that you have to knock them down five more times before you can take home the stuffed bear.” Since the severe reductions will impact widely, msyor concerns are being voiced by a variety of groups. Private college officials, for example, said they fear cuts in the Tuition Assistance Grant program will restrict educational opportunities for lower income and older state students. They also feel that the reductions will put an unfair burden on private schools and their students. Among schools expressing great concern was Virginia Union University where Gov. Wilder received his undergraduate degree. Democratic legislators for the most part reacted cautiously to the Governor’s plan, although few were voicing major criticisms. Republicans, meanwhile, were trying to make political hay out of the situation. They contend that Gov. Wilder’s decision made without General Assembly ratification totally undercuts the legislature’s role in the budget-making process. Steve Haner, executive director of the Joint Republican Caucus, said, “This is one of the most amazing power grabs in Virginia history,” and Del. Clinton Miller of Shenandoah noted that by the time the legislature convenes in January “all of the cuts will have occurred and it’ll be too late. Of course, the Democrats will just roll over and play dead for Wilder.” Del. Miller had suggested a special legislative session to deal with the problems, but that call was spurned by Democrats on grounds a special session would be too costly. “If we went back into session,” said Del. Miller, “and acted by the end of the year, we could rescind the salary increases we’re giving all the state judges and saving many millions of dollars over the years. We could find a way to take the monkey off the backs of state employees.” Del. William J. Howell, a Stafford Republican and a member of the House Finance Committee, said he would await specifics of the cutbacks that will be due from the administration soon. But, he said, “This situation sharply points up the need to revise the budget making process in Virginia. We need a more open process that involves more legislators. If we’d had that instead of the way things are done now I believe the current crisis might have been averted.” John Goolrick, a former reporter, is now working as the press secretary to Seventh District Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr.'s re-election campaign. Opinions expressed are his own. Letters Continued from page A-4 crease federal and state governments’ control of child care services; decrease parents’ choice; and discriminate against informal providers (parents, relatives, friends) and church-sponsored and run facilities. And it would create one more extensive bureaucracy to run the show. View 2: Congressman Slaughter recognizes the assault on the family in this child care/day care legislation controversy, and he favors a different plan. Among its provisions is an Earned Income Tax Credit, helping the lower earning employed through tax rebates and those without income via vouchers; the amounts reduce as incomes increase. This method allows parents complete freedom of choice and costs less by avoiding a new, large bureaucracy. Most Rappahannock County parents and voters will understand why I support the second alternative. It follows the principle, “That government governs best which governs least.” It would cost less, not requiring the sort of bureaucratic overhead that has consumed tens of billions of dollars and done essentially nothing to solve, for example, the poverty and housing problems over the past twenty years. It would not tell parents where they must place, nor “punish” those like myself who prefer to care at home for, their children. Fairer, cheaper, better. You can see why I support Congressman Slaughter on this issue in 1990. CATHY W. FRAZIER Amissville 7th is lucky To the editor: The Seventh Congressional District is indeed fortunate to have a representative in the United States Congress with the background, experience, integrity, overall qualifications, and proven ability of D. French Slaughter Jr. Mr. Slaughter is a native of Culpeper County; member of the Episcopal Church; educated at Virginia Military Institute and the University of Virginia; a combat infantry veteran; and recipient of the Purple Heart. Mr. Slaughter has served this area well for a long time. Prior to his three terms in Congress, he was a distinquished member of the Virginia House of Delegates for 20 years where he was a member of the influential Appropriations Committee and chief patron of the Community College Act. On the contrary, his opponent’s qualifications are almost nil. It has been suggested by many that Mr. Smith is the most inexperienced and least qualified of any candidate who has ever aspired to a Virginia seat in the Congress of the United States. He has neither held nor sought public office. Even his campaign rhetoric makes no mention of his qualifications. He constantly attacks and misrepresents Mr. Slaughter’s record. The people of the Seventh District are entitled to a continuation of Mr. Slaughter’s representation. It would not be wise to exchange proven ability and many years of distinguished service for an unknown quality. TURNER A. GRAVES JR. Syria Del.

Events alter state's economic outlook WILLIAMSBURG — Worsening economic prospects for the nation will have an impact across the Commonwealth, slowing the state’s growth rates even more than previously predicted, according to the latest Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. “Actions and events since July have shifted the near-term economic outlook, both nationally and in Virginia, towards less real output and job growth with higher inflation,” said Roy L. Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research and editor of the monthly report. Political uncertainties in the Mideast along with oil-induced inflation could slow real demand growth across the nation by about 1.0 to 1.5 percent from what it otherwise might have been, said Mr. Pearson. Since previous national forecasts predicted less than 2 percent growth in 1990 and only slightly more than 2 percent growth in 1991, “the U.S. will be treading a very fine line during the next 12 months between near-zero real growth and a recession.” How likely is a recession? Mr. Pearson predicted that slower growth and slim margins for reallocations from one output or employment market to another “makes a recession very possible during the next five quarters, probably about a 50 percent chance.” Mr. Pearson added that “whether or not the nation actually experiences a recession, we will have ‘stagflation’ — a stagnant economy (real terms) with rising inflation.” The bureau’s statistics for July reveal that Virginia is also moving towards ‘stagflation,’ with lower demand for construction and durable goods, and decelerating growth in retail sales, payroll jobs and production. Recent shifts in the economic environment coupled with federal revisions of Virginia’s 1988 and 1989 income statistics caused the bureau to alter its earlier predictions for 1990 and 1991 by substantial margins. “We now expect total real income in Virginia will rise only 1.6 percent in 1990, instead of the 3.2 percent anticipated in May,” said Mr. Pearson. “Payroll job growth this year will slip to 1.9 percent, instead of the ? 5 percent previously projected.

On the road to adulthood, he will experience a variety of situations, conflicting emotions, and the process of maturing physically. This youngster will need mature leadership and spiritual counseling to assist in his transition from boyhood to manhood. It is our responsibility to see that he receives the guidance he needs to assure that he will continue to be smiling and well adjusted when he is old enough to fit into the role of adulthood. Proverbs 22:(> tells us to “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Make worship a family affair. You and your child will reap a lifetime of benefits.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The early chill of autumn has only just settled over Rappahannock County bringing with it color for trees, the acidic smell of woodfires and the wail of fire sirens. Chimney fires foretell the coming of winter. “Rappahannock and Culpeper County fire departments get calls for three to five chimney fires a week,” according to J.C. “Roseoe” Barnes, a Culpeper chimney sweep and a paid firefighter in Fairfax County paid firefighter. Mr. Barnes owns Coles Chimney Sweeps. The numbers may seem high, but already this year Rappahannock County volunteer firefighters have spent early mornings racing to calls of distress as the roar of a chimney fires fills the house with what sounds like an oncoming train. While the roar warns the firebuilder that things are amiss, often the chimney fire burns quietly, without warning of impending disaster. A chimney fire, according to Mr. Barnes, can burn at anywhere from 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 4,000 degrees, damaging unlined chimney brick or the most common liner, terra cotta, which can withstand temperatures only to about 1,800 degrees. Temperatures above that produce cracks which offer an outlet to sparks which may then catch against the house frame, causing a house fire, as well, at some later date. As the threat of winter becomes real and heat becomes a necessity, chimney sweeps near and far are getting booked late into the days of October. “As the price of oil and gas continue to go up, more and more people turn to wood for heat,” Flint Hill chimney sweep Bruce Vierling said. With the increase ir woodburning stoves comes the need for an increase ir chimney cleaning. While the cedar tree on a rope plunge, the live chicken or goose dangling, kicking, flapping and squaking on a rope, or a chain with bricks may have sufficed in early times, those methods are outdated now. “I hate to hear of the chain and brick,” said Mr. Vierling, who owns Old Town Sweeps. That method does more harm than good, he explained, since it can damage the flue, often producing cracks not present earlier. Airtight stoves produce more creosote and need professional attention, he added. Chimney sweeps, many still costumed with stove-pipe hat and tails, clean chimneys with brushes and high-powered vacumns, protecting flues and removing dangerous creosote. “Nearly all chimney fires are due to buildup from creosote,” that shiny black tar-like substance which builds inside the woodstove pipe and along the chimney, Mr. Vierling said. As evidence, he removed a stove pipe and inspected the flakey black substance on the interior. “The shiny black stuff is what you don’t want to see,” Mr. Vierling pointed out, adding the sticky creosote, which resembles tar, is the most eonbustible and the hardest to remove from both chimney and stovepipe. Creosote is found most commonly in chimneys which vent an airtight woodstove. It is less often found in chimneys which Vent older stoves which are not as airtight and even less frequently in chimneys venting a fireplace. The tar builds from smoldering fires, accumulating from both dry and green wood burning. Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie SURROUNDED BY THE tools of the trade, Bruce Vierling begins to feed a wire brush up a chimney. “People load their stoves with wood,” Mr. Vierling said, adding those who commute into D.C. or Northern Virginia may find a warm home on their return, but “that smoldering fire builds up creosote.” The creosote is produced from resins in the wood which are not completely burned at the low temperatures found inside an airtight stove. Most woodstove manufacturers recommend that airtight stoves be burned wide open for at least one-half hour each day to cut down on the creosote buildup in the stovepipes and chimney. Even with such precautions, chimneys should be cleaned at least once a year, prior to the first fire, and preferably twice each heating season. Sitting nearly in the grate of the fireplace, using what look like giant bottle brushes with very long handles, lights and a high-powered vacumn, Mr. Vierling sets to the dirty job of cleaning the chimney. Little if any dirt falls into the room. “I’ve only ever fallen off a roof once,” he says with a smile, adding there’s an old saying that chimney sweeps don’t fall off the roof if they wear their stove-pipe hats. See SWEEP, p. B-5 Furnace service should become an annual rite By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer As ’old Jack Frost begins his annual desent on Rappahannock County, residents find mornings rather brisk and evenings cool as soon as the sun sets. With the onset of winter, home warmth becomes of utmost importance. The familiar sight of oil and and gas company trucks in the areas as they begin their annual service to regular customers makes winter days seem more imminent. Tanks are being filled and furnaces are being serviced. See SERVICE, p. B-5 Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G.

Exchange students again offer cultural diversity By LISA G. CURRIE vj Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s a cultural invasion at Rappahannock County High School. This year joining the regular Rappahannock County High School students are six exchange students from around the world. “The students arc all different this year,” according to Patricia Helmer of Castleton, who serves as regional director for the Youth For Understanding (YFU) program. “In some ways they are similar to the students from last year in that each is unique in themselves.” Mrs. Helmer and her husband, Richard, work through the year with the children, helping them with problems, hosting cultural events and assisting the host families through meetings and workshops. This is the first year in several the Helmer family has not hosted an exchange child. Five of the six exchange students are Youth for Understanding participants while Vesna Grurhie of Yuogoslavia has come to the United States through the American Intercultural Student Exchange (AISE) program, one of the first to visit the East Coast, though for several years the exchange has placed Yugoslavian students on the United States’ West Coast. The students, ranging in age from 16 to 18, are hosted by Rappahannock County families from August of this year until June, 1991. “It seems we have a real good bunch of kids,” Mrs. Helmer said, adding each seems to be “fairly outgoing.” This year offers change and variety to both Rappahannock County schools and the Rappahannock community.

Applesauce both nutritious, delicious By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics For the past two weeks in my weekly nutrition column I’ve been featuring apples since they are so popular for fall menus. Apples are such a versatile food — they can be eaten raw, in salads, baked, in desserts, or processed into apple juice or cider. In addition, many people like to make homemade applesauce or purchase commercial applesauce for their families. Applesauce is good for you nutritionally. It’s low acid content is an aid to infants’ digestion and is usually one of the first foods intro■ HOME ECONOMICS duced to young children. Like raw apples, applesauce is low in calories, low in sodium, and high in complex carbohydrates and fiber which aids digestion. I have so many delicious apple recipes in my files both at home and in the office — plus ones shared by the good cooks in Rappahannock County — that it’s taken more than one week to print them all. This week’s recipes feature apples dishes using applesauce. A special thanks goes to Mary Latham, Sally Sharp and the Virginia Apple Commission for contributing recipes using applesauce. Grandma’s apple spice cake 3 eggs 2 cups sugar 1 cup shortening 3 cups flour 1-1/2 cup applesauce 2 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon cloves 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup chopped nuts (if desired) Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs, beat with mixer.

" ...... . Heart Assn, unit urges 'Have a Good Heart' By ROBERT SCOTT Rappahannock New» Contributing Writer Americans have always earned the reputation for being “goodhearted” people. The American Heart Association wants to keep us that way. Being “good-hearted” also means having a heart that is healthy, one that keeps working the way it was designed to work. We’ve heard the cliche. . .“Have a good day.” Why a not say something new that will add to our lives? Just for a start let’s say: “Have a good heart.” There’s a lot in the world today, both at home and abroad, that might cause us to be ■ somewhat “down-hearted.” We can “ be more “up-beat” if we think “well” in our hearts and minds and stay well in our physical bodies. Then, we’ll care and we’ll share, helping others as well as ourselves. The Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association has built a team of good-hearted volunteers who are dedicated to keeping ours a healthy and happy community. The president for the 1990-91 educational and fund-raising campaign, Eino Siira of Sperryville, has persuaded a group of veteran volunteers to once again contribute their skills and knowledge. They are all counting on the good-hearted Americans of Rappahannock County to help make this campaign the most successful of all. The officers and board members are your friends and neighbors: vicepresident Jon Heddleston; delegate Lillian Aylor; and board members Janie Jackson and Celine Siira live in Sperryville. Robert Scott, communications chairman and Doris Donald, secretary are from Castleton. Ann Miller, the medical advisor, education and community programs and schoolsite committee chairman is from Washington as are Virginia Cloud, the memorial committee chairman, Ann Marie Davis, treasurer, Helen Smith, the culinary hearts chairman and board member Beverly Atkins. Amissville is represented by Dr. Gil Webb, the residential committee chairman, Marion Facchina, medical advisor and board members John Borgens and Pearl Clarke. Dr. Jerry Martin from Flint Hill, Pat Vest Whorton from Woodville and Maybelle Gilkey, from Chester Gap represent their neighborhoods on the board of directors. The Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association needs your continued interest and your willing participation in this vital community activity. Look for announcements of upcoming events. You won’t want to miss the annual turkey walk on Sunday, Nov. 4, when you’ll be encouraged to “follow your feet to a healthy heart.” Just for fun, why don’t you start? Just smile and say, “Have a good heart!” Mr. Scott, a resident of Castleton, is the Rappahannock Unit’s communications chairman. Culinary Hearts course stresses healthy eating Meals that are exciting and delicious, but low in calories, fat and Q. cholesterol — that’s what “The Culi1 nary Hearts Kitchen Course” is all about. Developed by the American Heart Association, the course will be offered in Rappahannock County by the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. The four-week course will cover basic principles of nutrition, food selection and preparation, ways to modify favorite recipes, menu plan ning at home and when dining out or entertaining. Participants will see recipe demonstrations and be able to taste a variety of dishes. The classes will be held from 10 a.m. until nooon at the Rappahannock Extension Office beginning Thursday, Oct. 11 and continuing through Nov. 1. The registration fee is $15 per student. For more information or to register for the class, call Helen Smith at 675-3619. Although the course is especially ■ valuable for heart patients and their families, it is designed to teach anyone interested in leading a healthy lifestyle how to select and prepare tasty, nutritious food. The Culinary Hearts Kitchen Course is based on the American Heart Association’s dietary recommendations, which include: • adjusting intake of calories to reach and maintain ideal body weight. • reducing total fat intake to less than 30 percent of daily calories and saturated fat intake to less than 10 percent of total calories. • reducing cholesterol intake to less than 100 mgs. per day. • increasing intake of carbohydrates, primarily grains, fruits, and vegetables, but not sugar. • avoiding excess sodium. Sodium intake should be reduced to approximately 1 gram per 1,000 calories, not to exceed 3 grams per day. Benefit bike tour seeks volunteers The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is sponsoring a benefit weekend bi■' cycle tour on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7, and is looking for volunteers to help support the several hundred riders who are expected to participate. The two-day ride will start and end in Warrenton, and in between meander down country roads. On Saturday, the riders will travel south through Fauquier County into Culpeper County to Rixeyville, then west toward Laurel Mills and Ben Venue. After a lunch break at the Washington fire hall, the riders will head out again toward Hume, where they will spend the night at the Marriott Ranch. The second day will be spent in Fauquier County, with the riders traveling through Markham before riding on to Marshall and through Orlean on their way back to Warrenton for the end of the ride. According to Christine Schiponi, special events manager for the CF Foundation, volunteers are needed to help serve lunch to the riders in Washington on Saturday, as well as perform other support functions along the way. Several local restaurants, including the County Cafe and The Inn at Little Washington, have volunteered to donate food for the riders. Bonnie Williams of Huntly has offered to serve as coordinator for the local volunteers. She said the biggest need now is for enough volunteers — about 20 to 25 — to serve the noontime meal to the up to 500 cyclists expected to participate in the fundraising event. Local residents interested in pitching in should call Mrs. Williams (675-3453) or Ms. Schiponi at the CF Foundation’s Washington, D.C. office, (301) 657-8444. All proceeds from the weekend, 150-kilometer cycle trip will go toward research for a cure for cystic fibrosis. CF, as it is often known, is a genetic disorder which affects children early in their lives. It is the number one genetic killer of children and young adults. There is presently no cure for the disease, which causes the body to produce a thick, sticky Monarchs win title The Rappahannock Monarchs beat the Woodstock Raiders 12-9 to clinch the championship of the Apple Valley Baseball League. Rappahannock swept Woodstock in the best-of-five series, 3-0. In the final game, Anthony Porter led the Monarch offense with five hits, including a double. His brother Jeff was the winning pitcher, while Moses Jones finished up the game af. ter relieving Porter in the seventh inning. Tim Clanagan and Cap Whitmore Chester Gap "4-H Club begins year By CANDY STONEBREAKER , Club Reporter The Chester Gap 4-H Club held its first meeting of the year on Sept. 12 at the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department. The meeting featured a presentation by Alice Reeve, a member of the county’s 4-H Teen Club, who talked about her 4-H International Exchange trip to Germany this past summer. The club also elected officers for the coming year. The new officers are Janie Wines, president; Christy Mills, vice-president; Amber Early, secretary and Candy Stonebreaker, reporter. The club’s adult leader is Mayr belle Gilkey and the recreation 1 leader is Randy Early. Youth in the Chester Gap area interested in joining the 4-H Club are invited to contact a club member or adult leader for more information about the club and its activities, or call the Rappahannock County Exn tension Office in Washington (675- 3619). each contributed two hits toward Rappahannock’s win. The Monarchs, the only men’s baseball team remaining in Rappahannock County, have competed in the Apple Valley League for more than 20 years. This is the first time the team has brought home the league championship. mucus which clogs the lungs and interferes with digestion. According to the Foundation, one in 20 Americans carry the gene which causes CF. Although there is no cure, its victims are living longer. When the CF Foundation was established in 1955, most CF victims died before ever attending school. Now, many live into their 20s. “But this is when life should be beginning,” said a Foundation spokesman. Recently, researchers have located the exact location of the CF gene in human DNA. “This will enable us to take one step closer to our goal — a cure,” the spokesman said. “By providing the best in research, technology, treatment and support, the Foundation, together with its many generous supporters, will soom make cystic fibrosis history.” Cyclists interested in participating in the tour should contact the CF chapter office in Washington, D.C., (SOI) 657-8444. There is a $80 entry fee, plus each rider is requested to collect at least $150 in pledges.

Because many Virginians just love to play cards. Here’s how it works. Scratch off the card playing area next to your “First Hand” and see what you’ve been dealt. But don’t look for a frill suit; cards will only range from eights to aces. Then all you do is match three-ol-a-kind to win. Anything from a free ticket to $10,000. That’s right, the $ 10,000 top prize is back. But it gets even better. Your “Second Hand” of cards could also be a winner. Which means you could win twice on one ticket. And to make it even more fun, 99% of all prizes are paid instantly. So the next time you’re sitting around the table, pull out a new card game. The Big Deal. And see how much fun it is not playing with a full deck. •$£im>.

Rezoning Continued from page A-1 lage Residential but has been used to park cars waiting to be serviced and others that have been towed in after being abandoned or wrecked. This request first came before the planners in June. At that time the planners asked attorney James W. Fletcher III, representing the Settles, to submit a site plan, provide further information on the results of tests that had been done on wells in the area and submit a narrative explaining how the rezoning request fits in with the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Paul and Charlotte Nichols, who own a house next door to the garage, objected to expanding a commercial use so close to their house. Their attorney, David Konick, submitted photos showing the abandoned cars and parts of cars that had been parked on the property and described the rezoning as a first step that would lead to commercial zoning all along the main street in Flint Hill. Mr. Fletcher reported that he and his clients had “tried to comply with the requests of the commission and the adjoining landowners.” He said they had scaled back on the amount of land they wanted rezoned and were excluding 9,960 square Masters Continued from page A-1 interest in any particular content area, courses in that area may be offered locally. Otherwise teachers may take the courses at Shenandoah or from another college or university and have the credits transferred into the masters’ program at Shenandoah. During the spring of the third year teachers will be required to write a thesis on a subject related to education or to their endorsement areas. During a break during class last week one teacher said, “I think our students will really benefit from this.” feet in the back of the property. The amended request asked for a rezoning of 19,454 square feet. He said that they promised to erect an eightfoot privacy fence to screen the Nichols’ view of the lot within 120 days of receiving approval from the Board of Supervisors. He submitted a site plan, the results of studies on wells that had been tested, and a statement on how the request fits in with the county’s comprehensive plan. “The Settles would be glad to erect trees on the Nichols property if they would like it,” Mr. Fletcher said. “There is not enough room on the Settles’ land.” Mr. Nichols reported that the test on his well had been good, but said the lab had not been able to test for petroleum products. Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission Mike Massie said, “In general I’d prefer to see commercial rezonings off the road rather than strung out along the road. It’s as good a rezoning as we’re going to get. They’ve downsized the amount they want to rezone. I move we approve it. ” The motion passed unanimously with the provision that the privacy fence be perpetually maintained. When the planners turned to the Lees’ request for a family apartment, attorney Douglas Baumgardner, speaking for the Lees said that it met all the conditions for a family apartment spelled out in the zoning ordinance. He submitted several letters from neighbors supporting the application. The Lees plan to build a twostory structure. The bottom floor will be an 800 square-foot garage, and the upper story will be an 800 square-foot apartment for Mr. Lee’s mother. The new building will be about 300 feet away from their present house. Frank Reynolds, representing Beverly Amos, who owns land across the road from the Lees, said the permit would allow much more dense development than is planned for the area, which is zoned Agricultural. He said that at a future date the garage could be converted making a 1,600 square foot house and the property divided making two separate lots. “This is not a family apartment,” Mr. Reynolds said. “It’s a separate dwelling that just happens to be 800 square feet.” The planners voted to send the application to the Board of Zoning Appeals with a recommendation that it be approved on the condition that the building use the existing entrance and that there be no second road in the future. Dr. Krebser voted against the motion. When the planners took up Mr. and Mrs. Johnson’s request for rezoning land across from their house on Route 671 near Sperryville, Mr. Johnson reported that he had been asked by the son of a neighbor to sell him one acre to build a house. He said he also wanted to deed land to his own son. The planners tabled the rezoning request and suggested that Mr. Johnson clear up the question of the right-of-way and submit a plat that would leave a five-acre lot in the back of the property and designate four or five one-acre lots near the front of the property. Plan Continued from page A-1 problem of firearms being discharged in town. Mr. Reynolds said that the town could enact an ordinance prohibiting shooting within the town limits, but since the town has no police force and the Sheriffs Department is not authorized to enforce town ordinances, there would be no way to enforce such an ordinance. The attorney’s memo also stated that it is against state law to discharge a firearm from a public street or within 100 yards of a public road. Mr. Reynolds suggested that there are very few places within the town that are more than 100 yards from a public street. The Sheriffs Department or the game warden can be called on to enforce that state law in the town, Mr. Reynolds pointed out. “If a citizen wants to file a complaint, there are laws to cover it,” member Stuart Willis noted. “I guess we should file this with the helicopter ordinance,” member Louise vanDort suggested. “We need a special place for these things.” Exchange Continued from page B-1 United States and the sole participant in Virginia is Julianna Volkmar. Experienced host family Brad and Dawn Fisher of Washington greeted 16 year-old Julianna in early August. Presently, Julianna plans to sing in the choir at school and hopes to play girls’ volleyball in the winter. Joining the Sean and Sharon Kilpatrick family of Woodville is Bendik Roerhus of Norway. The tall blond, who participates in a radio show in his homeland, has plans to become a journalist. Bendik plays on the soccer team at RCHS. Becoming the first female exchange student to join Rappahannock’s soccer team and this year’s only female player is Mette Eilstiup of Denmark. “I thought they would tease me,” the 17-year-old athlete said of her participation and her male teammates. “But, they just treat me as one of the guys,” she added with laughter. Mette is unquie in that she is entering her third month in the United States. Hosted by James and Carolyn Man warring of Sperry ville, Mette joined her new family in June to travel across the United States to Wyoming. Besides the Manwarring’s two daughters, Mette was joined by last year exchange student Ulrike Kleingarn of West Germany. “It was great,” she said of her trip across the United States. “I got a chance to see things I might not have been able to.” Another soccer player is 18-yearold Claudio Villalta of Chile. Claudio, hosted by the Tom and Susan Rust family in Washington, is interested in scuba diving, hunting, fish ing and soccer. The beauty of the Basque country of Spain is brought to Rappahannock with Ane Zorriqueta. The 16year-old is hosted by Randy and Katheryn Earley of Chester Gap. Ane is unique to other exchange students as she plays girls basketball, an American sport quite popular with Spanish spectators. Her coach, Renee Leake, reports she is quickly learning the American version of this popular international sport. Bringing another new country to Rappahannock’s extensive list of previous exchange students is Vesna Grurhic of Yuogoslavia. The 17year-old graduate is hosted by Raul and Cindhy Robinson of Flint Hill. “Now that I am here, I want to do lots of things and see lots of places,” she said. “Now, I am learning English,” she added with laughter. Library Continued from page A-1 Under competitive negotiation, the owners can rank several bidders based on various criteria that include bid price and negotiate with the one ranked first. If negotiations are unsuccessful they can them move to negotiate with the firm ranked next. Dwight Mathews, architect for the project, said that his firm has experience working with all four of the lowest bidders and would be willing to work with any of them. James P. Jamieson, who has been in charge of fund raising for the library project, told the board that the fund raising started with the $150,000 the county received for the sale of the library to the Town of Washington, which has been invested and is drawing interest. In addition the Library Board expects to receive $140,998 from a Federal grant for library construction, awarded earlier this month. Mr. Jamieson’s efforts to get donations and pledges from people and businesses within and outside the county have been sufficiently successful to bring the fund raising up to the level where the contract for construction can be let, he said. However, the money raised so far will not cover the cost of finishing the project, including the library’s furnishings, Mr. Jamieson told the board. He said that he has received a pledge of $20,000 which has not yet been included in the tally of funds available for the project. It must be matched at the rate of two dollars for one. Mr. Jamieson said he hopes to use the promise of the $20,000 as the basis for further fundraising to cover the cost of furnishings. The Library Board will be meeting again this afternoon (Sept. 27) to conduct its regular monthly business and consider further how to proceed with evaluating the bids for construction. — Sharon Kilpatrick Service Continued from page B-1 “Now is the time to think about it,” Mike Cason, manager of Quarles Oil Company in Culpeper said. Most fuel companies notify regular customers in early spring for scheduling fuel delivery and furnace repairs or maintanences. “It’s good to clean your furnace every year,” he said as a warning to homeowners, adding the service is similar to the semi-annual tune-up most people give their automobile. “We clean it and make sure the belts are in good shape. We put on a new oil filter, make sure their are no cracks in the heating chamber and give it an all over tune-up,” Mr. Cason said, explaining once the furnace is clean, its efficiency is maximized. “It’s just like your car,” he said, adding many people wait five, six or even more years but run the risk that a problem will arise on a cold night in January. But thinking ahead can save time and energy, he said. “We begin in the summer” with annual maintanence projects and tank refilling, “but, if someone calls at the last minute, we can usually get there in a day or two,” Mr. Cason said. . He reminded residents of last December’s sudden burst of subfreezing winter weather, weeks before its usual arrival. Waiting until the chill arrives, he said, may be a cold as well as costly mistake. But, ‘many wait until the last minute,” he said, adding prices at this point are high for the season, though they fluctuate daily. Most residents will remember without joy the bitter cold December of 1989 and the sudden jump oil and gas prices took, affecting many in Rappahannock County. “With the crisis in the Mid-East now, I just don’t know what prices will do,” Mr. Cason said about prices later in the winter, adding crude oil prices are high now and there is no way to project a change. Oil presently is averaging $1.15 9/10 per gallon for number 2 heating oil, the most commonly used fuel.

Most sweeps offer assistance with installing a woodstove, as well as flue lining services or maintenance services. “Everyone should have some Chimfex,” he suggested. The product produces a gas when lit which starves a chimney fire of oxygen. Having it is one thing, Mr. Vierling added, but knowing its whereabouts in an emergency is another thing. “Keep it on hand” near the woodstove, he stressed. Chimfex is available at many hardware stores or farm service establishments. “I looked down a chimney,” Mr. Vierling said of one recent cleaning job, where the resident had used Chimfex during a chimney fire. “It was nearly clogged with creosote,” he said with a shake of his head. ‘It’s better to build it hot, even if have to fill it more often,” he said, adding the hotter the fire the less creosote will accumulate. Long after several months of cool spring weather, when fires are started hot in the morning to “take the chill off a house” and dampened down as the afternoon sun warms the air, creosote clogs are forgotten in many chimneys around the county. “Now, the mornings are cold and people are doing the same thing,” Mr. Vierling said. Leftover creosote build-up from spring catches fire easily and chimney fires become commonplace during the first brisk mornings of fall. Besides the dangers of creosote, bird and rodent nests can present hazardous consequences. Sparks lodging in dry grasses or bits of cotton fiber will quickly catch fire, starting a chimney fire. “People need to know that when an oil company comes to fill or repair a furnace, they don’t do the chimney,” Mr. Barnes said, adding furnace maintenance does not mean chimney inspection. “Besides the common bird nest, squirrels, raccoons and other pests can get into a chimney and nest,” the firefighter and chimney sweep said, adding wrestling out a mad raccoon is not something the average homeowner is prepared to do. “A clogged chimney flue,” he explained, “can produce carbon monoxide poisoning to people in the house.” A sweep can detect any unwanted presences while checking chimney flueliners or chimneys for buildup. The checkup is particularly important, he said, when one chimney serves as the flue for more than one stove or fireplace. Though many homeowners insurance policies require flue linings for woodstove chimneys, many chimneys around Rappahannock county are not lined. But, Mr. Vierling said, they are in “perfectly good shape.” Chimneys with a lining, whether stainless steel or terra cotta, and venting a woodstove of any type, should be cleaned every year or given an annual inspection for buildup or cracks. Professional chimney cleaning ranges in price from $40 to $55 for single chimneys, usually, additional attached flues are cleaned at a reduced price. “Fireplaces do not need to be cleaned as often,” Mr. Vierling said, explaining fireplaces can draw all the oxygen they want from their open front, therefore allowing the fire to bum freely, causing less creosote buildup. “I’ve seen fireplaces that haven’t been cleaned in 20 years, and still look clean,” he said, adding he recommends three to seven year intervals between cleanings for chimneys venting a fireplace. “If you bum one to four cords of wood a year, you should have your chimney cleaned annually,” Mr. Bar KUBOTA SALE ENDS SEPTEMBER 30th All Kubota tractors 17hp - 24 hp Now on Sale BUY NOW and get 21/2% Financing through KCC EUKUBOTD Nothing like it on earth' SWAN’S «J.A.

Currie WEARING HIS TOP HAT, Bruce Vierling cleans chimneys from the roof as well. The hat is supposed to be lucky — according to legend, sweeps wearing a top hat won’t fall. Mr. Vierling said it has only failed him once! nes said of woodstove burning. “If not cleaned, than inspected.” Inspections cost between $10 and $25 per flue and can be done by very simple means, or with sophisticated equipment, including video cameras. “I like to teach customers to inspect their own,” Mr. Vierling said, explaining that by opening the chimney access door,' or cleaning door, on the side of the chimney or flue, creosote buildup can be detected using a small mirror. “If you can see daylight and the sides of the flue look clear, then all is o.k. If you can’t see daylight or the sides look dark and clogged, the chimney needs cleaning.” He laughed and added looking up a chimney is much easier than looking down as when the viewer looks down, he sees only darkness. For homeowners needing a precise and detailed report of chimney conditions, a video camera can be lowered on a wire and photos taken of each crevice and cranny of the flue. “We usually do this sort of inspection after a chimney fire or for an insurance company,” Mr. Barnes said of that service, occupation, adding most sweeps do not offer this feature. In years past, fire departments in local communties provided homeowners with chimney cleaning and inspections. However, due to the rapidly changing requirements and other technicalities, including liability questions, volunteer fire departments no longer offer this service. “Make sure you are getting someone with a good reputation, offering a written inspection,” Mr. Barnes said, adding the average chimney cleaning takes about one hour, with about two-thirds of the time devoted to cleaning and one third of the time devoted to inspections. Literacy Continued from page A-1 who have been trained in LVA methods to tutor adult non-readers on a one-on-one basis. More will be trained in November. In addition, the organization has a supply of books and materials necessary for those who seek to earn their high school equivalency certificate. The tutoring for this program takes place at the County Library each Monday, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Although LVA Rappahannock, and its predecessor, Literacy Volunteers of Rappahannock, have been operating since 1986, they have not been able to mount an adequate response to the problems they seek to address. For this reason, the group became a provisional affiliate of LVA in February of this year. Under the guidance of LVA, a national literacy organization, it now will formalize its status by enlisting a membership that will reflect the varied interests of the county, electing a board of directors to manage its affairs, and expanding its programs so as to reach more of the people who need help. A slate of nine persons will be proposed as the board of directors, and any member of the organization may, with the consent of the nominee, nominate an additional candidate or candidates from the floor for election to the board. § 7^e 7'uzdtny ‘Poat P O BOX 403 • WASHINGTON, VA 22747 • (703) 675-3990 Authentic Native American Arts & Crafts Cordially Invites You To Join Us SEPTEMBER 29TH & 30TH Saturday & Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. To Welcome JEFFREY Teioterateh" (Brightroot) WHELAN MOHAWK SILVERSMITH Jeffrey's striking choice of stones in his silver work displays a traditional, yet timeless, style in his one of a kind designs.

I Real estate course now required A recent change in Virginia law will require all new real estate agents to complete 60 hours of “Principles of Real Estate” before they can take the state examination or obtain their license. The new law increases the hours required from 45 to 60 and is effective Jan. 1,1991. To meet this new requirement the National Institute of Real Estate (NIRE) has received approval from the Real Estate Board in Richmond to start offering the new 60 hour course immediately. In addition to Virginia the course meets Maryland and D.C. license requirements. In October NIRE will offer the new course for aspiring real estate agents weekdays from Oct. 11 to Oct. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and evenings on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and all day on Saturdays starting Oct. 6 and ending Nov. 10. Classes will be held at the NIRE Tysons Comer Education Center at 1880 Howard Ave in Vienna. The tuition is $285 which includes a six-hour state exam prepa-ation course. NIRE will also offer a 15-hour Principles course for agents who need the new additional hours to reactiviate their license or transfer their license from another state. Students should register for all courses by calling NIRE at (703) 893-0655 or 1-800-277-NIRE.
