This past fall Werner Krebser donated an easement on 503 acres, and Nels Parsons donated an easement on about 50 acres. These easements are part of 1,552 acres added to the program in the county in 1990. The easement granted by Dr. Krebser protects the balance of his 734-acre Meadowbrook Farm on U.S. 522 north of Flint Hill. Col. Parsons’ property is located just outside the Town of Washington. According to the Piedmont Environmental Council, by the end of 1990 a total of 4,728 acres in Rappahannock were covered by scenic easements, representing 3.4 percent of the land in the county. In Fauquier County, 28,609 acres or 8.2 percent of the private "Once you start getting easement parcels together, the next person isn't taking much risk. It protects real estate values. Buyers like easement protection — Robert Dennis PEC President land is under easement, and in Clarke County 8,173 acres or 7.6 percent is. Robert Dennis, PEC president, said the “primary motivating factor for the landowners is to protect a piece of property, but they are not unmindful of the tax benefits.” Mr. Dennis said, “Each easement is separately negotiated” with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. He said in the case of larger parcels the VOF is striving to restrict future development to 100-acie parcels. In some cases denser development is allowed with provisions for VOF limitations on the siting of houses. Most often for parcels of about 50 acres or less no divisions are allowed. The landowner then hires a private appraiser to calculate the value of the gift for tax purposes. As a taxpayer, the landowner can spread the value of the donation out over five years, Mr. Dennis said. See EASEMENTS, p. 10 Subdivision restrictions reinstated Superiusors tighten family transfer rules ■ By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer By the time the Board of Supervisors had gone through the proposed zoning amendments Monday night, they were fairly close to the form they were in when the Planning Commission approved them in October. The five-year waiting period from the time a piece of property is acquired until the owner can appply for a family subdivision was back in, and the two-year waiting period before a lot acquired under the provisions for a family subdivision could be sold to a third party was also reinstated. When the board first considered the amendments in November the five year waiting period was shortened to two years, and the two year waiting period before the property could be sold was eliminated. The amendments were proposed to try to reduce what the supervisors and planners see as “abuses” of the family subdivision provisions of the zoning ordinance. These provisions were adopted originally to try to help families who have lived in Rappahannock for generations by allowing them to deed smaller lots than the ordinances usually permit to their children. In recent years properties have been sold to people coming in to the county who have immediately divided the property among family members and within a year many of these parcels are owned by unrelated persons. When the supervisors first considered the amendments in November they felt that a two-year waiting period before applying for a family subdivision would eliminate the worst of the abuses, and they felt that a provision prohibiting the sale of a lot acquired by family subdivision for two years would prevent the family member acquiring the lot from being able to get financing to build on the lot. At Monday night’s meeting the supervisors voted to keep the two-year period before the lot could be sold but amended it to make an exception for obtaining financing. The supervisors also voted again to approve an amendment that defined family members, for the purpose of family subdivisions, as children, parents or divorced spouses; and another that would prohibit joint owners, corporations and partnerships from using the family subdivision provisions for dividing a piece of property. During the public hearing attorney Frank Reynolds, representing the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, suggested that the supervisors not adopt the amendments but instead refer the entire matter of family subdivisions back to the Planning Commission. He maintained that the family subdivision provisions might be unconstitutional because they violated the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteeing equal protection under the law. He said the provisions allow an owner with children to develop his land more densely than the See AMENDMENTS, p. 10 Gallery seeks alternative to vanishing funds By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer With public money for the arts becoming ever scarcer, and no indications that the trend will slow anytime soon, arts organizations across the country are scrambling to develop other sources of revenue. Washington’s Middle Street Gallery is no exception. The non-profit artists’ cooperative has received the bulk of its operating budget over the past several years through grants from the Virginia Commission for theArts for new and emerging arts organizations. This year, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has proposed that the VCA’s budget be cut from $5 million to $1 million. Though there is, as yet, no firm indication that his suggestion will be adopted by the General Assembly (and a grass-roots letter campaign by arts organizations has been started to oppose it), most arts groups recognize the inevitability of decreasing public funding. Lois Manookian, who serves on Middle Street’s board of directors, said the gallery may lose as much as half of its $20,000 budget. “We are potentially faced with closing our doors in six to eight months. The handwriting is on the wall.” However, the gallery has developed a plan to counter that loss in public money by increasing its solicitations from individuals and businesses. According to Gene Wenner, the gallery’s new director of marketing and development, “Historically, community contributions have been from individuals. We’ve gotten strong support from individuals, but at the same time some people don’t give because they haven’t been asked, or haven’t been asked in the right way.” To solicit that support, the Middle Street Gallery is beginning a new fund drive targeted at both individual donors and corporate sponsorships. The aim is to broaden its base of support to offset the in pending loss of at least part of the state grant money . Mrs. Manookian said she feels that, in some aspects, the budget crisis will have benefits for the gallery — assuming that it survives. “It forced us to look at our operation, and to build the kind of organization that will draw community support.” That, she added, is true of all arts organizations, and will probably benefit them all. Mr. Wenner said tihe of the main thrusts of the new fundraising drive is corporate sponsorships, an asset See GALLERY, p. 10

VSP urge parents, "Buckle Up for Love!" The Virginia State Police are urging families to participate in the annual, national Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week, Feb. 1016, and to “Buckle Up for Love!” “Valentine’s Day is a good time for parents to show how much they love their children by taking the time to buckle them up correctly in child safety seats and safety belts,” said Col. W.F. Corvello, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police. “When used correctly, child safety seats are extremely reliable in preventing deaths and injuries to young passengers,” he said. Correctly used, safety seats and belts are 71 percent effective in preventing fatalities and 67 percent effective in prevening serious injuries to children under the age of five, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Unfortunately, child safety seats are misused about 33 percent of the time, according to a study conducted by NHTSA. The most coipmon errors are improper routing of the vehicle’s safety belt to anchor the seat, infant seats facing forward rather than rearward and seat harnesses or shields fastened incorrectly. In 1989 highway crashes killed 723 child passengers under five nationwide. That same year, child safety systems saved 238 lives and since 1982, the systems have saved 1,324 children. r-y-'J ;—-—— Sixteen children under the age of four were killed in wrecks in Virginia in 1990. Of these, 11 were not in child safety seats. All 50 states and Washington, D.C. have laws requiring infants and young children to be placed in safety seats and secured with safety belts. “The Virginia State Police joins other law enforcement agencies and citizens’ groups throughout the nation in recognizing Feb. 10-16 as Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week, a time for everyone to get into the habit of correctly using child safety seats and safety belts,” Col. Corvello said.

Panthers stumble during Page County 'psych' - By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Coming off a week-long rest, the Rappahannock Panthers traveled across the mountains Tuesday to face Page County — and were shaken by the trip. “The atmosphere at Page County destroyed our game,” Coach Gary Leake reported following the contest, which Rappahannock lost, 8063. Although he declined to offer details, the coach did say, “It was pre, tty good psychology — if you want to win that way.” The Rappahannock Panther allowed Page to get out to an early lead, and it put them into a hole that they never got out of, the coach said. Combined with trying to over. come the early deficit, “we got -caught up in the atmosphere,” Coach Leake said. “We played the atmosphere the wrong way. It got per’ - Bonal — each player tried to turn the game around himself. We got out of flour game plan, out of the team offense and defense.” The coach said he was disappointed by the game, but could’t .really fault his players. “Experi,.enced teams can recognize what is happening off the court and channel it in a positive direction on the court. ( Unfortunately, we channeled it neg", atively.” He said he told the team after the game, “They walked in winners, lost by the score, but they still walked ■out winners.” Paul Hitt led the Panther offense with 20 points, and Dearl Cloud and Daniel Deal came off the bench to ~"cleliver 11 and 10 points to the offensive effort, respectively. Cloud and Deal also led the Panthers defensively, snatching seven rebounds each off the boards. Jason Butler rounded out the team’s top scorers with another 10 points. ‘Right away,” Coach Leake said, ' some indication of the game was the • fact that two reserves combined for ■<>■21 points and led the team in rebounds as well. “It says something that the intensity of the starting lineup was just not there. ” , He had particular praise for Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan PUSHING FOR THE BASKET, Kenneth Baldwin ( .40) and Michael Williams spark the Panther offense against Clarke County last week. Deal’s defensive efforts. “He gives up four to eight inches on each of the men he guards,” Coach Leake said of the 5’8” guard. “He came in against seven six-footers, and still managed to pick up seven rebounds. It says a lot for his determination — he finds a way to get the job done. “I hope that kind of play rubs off on the rest of the team.” The Panthers face three tough contests in the coming week, as the season winds down into its two final weeks. On Friday, Rappahannock faces district-leading Central at home. The game is Blue-and-Gold night, and “it’s usually always an exciting game.” The Falcons, who have sewn up the Bull Run District title, come into the game ranked second in the state in Division A. “That ranking should give us a little incentive to give them a good game,” the coach said. “It’ll be our gym, our crowd,” Coach Leake added. “I’ve talked to a lot of coaches around the district, and they all say they’d rather play anywhere rather than Rappahannock County.” Correction In a story on the January School Board meeting in the Jan. 24 Rappahannock News, it was incorrectly stated that the elementary school graduation would include teachers in caps and gowns. The elementary school graduation for seventh graders will remain unchanged. However, the elementary school faculty, wearing caps and gowns, will join the high school faculty at the high school graduation. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

Spikers in contention for district tournament T By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Going into the final week of the —volleyball season, the Lady Panthers continue to ambush their opposition and look like a good bet to make the Bull Run District tournament for the first time. Coming off a loss last week to George Mason in their second meeting of the season, the Panthers rebounded against Manassas Park, soundly drubbing the Cougars in two straight games, 15-3 and 15-6. “The team played real well together,” Coach Paul Paratore said. “I think that we had a really good night and they must have had a bad ‘night.” H;' He praised the teamwork dis; played by the varsity squad, and said he has been pleased by the way the girls have worked together on the court. “We’ve been concentrating on teamwork. A volleyball team is not six individuals, and they have picked that up very well. ” On Monday night, the Panthers faced Central, which came to the game tied for first in the district with Page County and Strasburg. “I think they came in underestimating us,” Coach Paratore said. The Panther* took the first game in the best of three series 15-10. However, the tough Falcon squad bounced back to win the second game, 15-3. The determined Panther spikers refused to roll over, however, and beat the Falcons in the deciding game, 15-10, to take the match. “That was the best that I’ve seen the team play,” Coach Paratore said. “The crowd was really behind us, and I think it was really good for the girls to beat a good team.” He added that he felt the team reacted well to the pressure of the game, including a mid-match change in strategy necessitated by Central’s powerful offense. “They had some tall girls, good spikers who could really slam the ball. But we adjusted and played well. “Every person on the team did and outstanding job — even the players on the bench contributed to the win,” the coach said. After last week’s two victories, Rappahannock is tied with George Mason and Central for third place in the district with a 4-2 record (7-3 overall). The Panthers faced Stonewall Jackson on Wednesday (results were not available at presstime). On Thursday, Feb. 7, they play their last home game against Strasburg. That is also Parent’s Night. Then, next Monday, the Panthers travel to Berryville to face Clarke County in the season finale. “The tallest order obviously is Strasburg,” Coach Paratore said Tuesday evening. “But Pve been telling the girls all year, ‘One game at a time,’ so we’re focusing on Stonewall J ackson. “We’re still in it,” Coach Paratore added. “The girls are psyched — they say, ‘Bring 'em on!’ ” RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY FARM BUREAU INSURANCE Will be closed on February 14 & 15 Staff will be attending annual sales conference!

Second 'Exchange' features composers By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The exploration of the creative muse continues this Sunday evening when the Ki Theatre presents the second in “The Exchange” series at Washington’s Town Hall. Designed as an combination of performance and dialogue, “The Exchange” hopes to emphasize the interactive natilre of art, according to Ki Theatre’s Julie Portman. It began last month with a reading by blacksmith and writer Nol Putnam, and continues with three local composers. Carl Coon, Lorraine Duisit and Richard Squires represent three “really distinct flavors” in their style and approach to music, Ms. Portman said. Mr. Coon is a former career Foreign Service officer who returned to his early interest in music after his retirement. His first studies in classical music date to 1946. While posted in Germany with the U.S. Army, he studied with Albert Barkhausen. After his discharge, he attended Harvard University, where he majored in music and studied with composer Irving Fine. “I found Fine’s sense of what music was all about to be less satisfying than Barkhausen’s, and anyway I decided to get married and embark on a diplomatic career,” Mr. Coon said. “So I turned my back on music, except for listening, and became a Foreign Service Officer, for the next 37 years.” A self-described “virtuoso on the phonograph — I’ve been playing that all my life,” Mr. Coon credits the reemergence of his interest in music at least partly to the computer. The electronic synthesizer, he explained, allows him to play back his compositions without the aid of musicians. “It’s not the same as a live performance, but it’s close enough to stay on track.” Some of his classically based compositions have been arranged for performance on synthesized equipment, “but mostly I compose with human performers in mind.” Mr. Coon plans a “world premiere” of some of his early work at Sunday’s performance. Lorraine Duisit is a veteran of both solo and group performances, including nine years and three albums with Trapezoid. She has also recorded a solo album, “Hawks & Herons,” and another, “Feather River,” with her husband and current musical partner, Tom Espinola. Ms. Duisit said her compositions are influenced most by the “beauty of the natural world, especially living around here.” The birth of her daughter, Nicole, “has been the biggest thing in my life in the last two years.” “If you live in a place that is naturally beautiful ... It is a creative stimulus,” Ms. Portman said. “The reverse is certainly true,” Mr. Coon added. “I spend 25 percent of my time in the city (Washington, D.C.), and I’m not worth a hoot there. My subconscious is beleaguered. Out here it is the opposite/’ “The Exchange” begins at 7:30 p.m., and will include about one-half hour of performance by each composer, followed by an informal discussion with the audience. Ms. Portman suggests that participants arrive early, since past programs have produced good turnouts. This program is sponsored in part by a grant from “Meet the Composer,” a foundation dedicated to promoting such exchanges between composers and audiences. Tickets for “The Exchange” are $5 and will be available at the door.

The Audit Bureau THURSD^, F timUJARY 7, 1991 I Editorial ___-■■■•- IBiimHiSffiMMi Bottled up When the Virginia State Senate voted last week to kill the 10-cent deposit on all beverage containers, it was probably just as well. There are pros and cons on both sides, and until those issues are more clearly delineated, we can’t support the deposit. There is no doubt that a 10-cent deposit is good for our , roadsides and good for our landfills. The question, as we see it, is whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, particularly higher consumer costs and manufacturer - inconvenience. The bill gathered only 12 supporting votes, making its fate in coming years not likely to be rosy. - While there are numerous reports about the success of bottle bills in cleaning up roadside litter in other states, we still have some doubts about the overall effectiveness of bottle r deposits. A question we ask is if the concept is so effective elsewhere, why have only 10 or 11 states adopted such programs? Under State Sen. Madison Marye’s proposal, consumers would have paid a 10-cent deposit on each glass, plastic or metal container of soft drinks, beer and wine coolers. That comes to an additional $1.20 for each 12-pack purchased. You would get your deposit back when you returned the - empties, but what retailer wants to shell out for returns at the check-out counter, mess with all those spent containers and provide a space for storage? On the face of the proposal, localities would have : benefited from the funds remaining in the* state bottle deposit . kitty. Conceivably, localities might be less than enthusiastic about backing community recycling programs in conjunction ' with the overburdened retailers. The bottle bill might have given recycling groups’ sails an ; extra puff of wind, or it might have been another millstone . around the consumer’s neck — we aren’t going to find out this : year. ■ t'y—y S4,', Rappahannock Heritage ON A LATE WINTER day, a bam is echoed by its reflection in a farm pond. imr Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the Editor 4-H makes a difference To the editor: Some people are wondering whether or not this thing called “4H” is really helping the kids of Rappahannock County. Well, I have an answer that may not be expected. 1 am a senior at Rappahannock County High School and was recently accepted to Virginia Polytechnic Institute for the Fall of 1991 with a major of Environmental Sciences. I must say that the 4-H Outback Club has contributed immensly to this decision. I have been a member since its organization two years ago and have participated in many activities sponsored by the club. We have toured sewage treatment plants, HEADLINE :* TIME IS RIGHT TO REPEAL” SEX ED" PROGRAM" U SENATOR, WHERE DO YOU THINK SEX EDUCATION SHOULD BE TAUGHTP gone hiking, skiing and canoeing on a few occasions, and sailed out on the Chesapeake Bay on a Skipjack to witness the effects that pollution ahd humankind itself can have on its waters. Additionally, my seven years in 4-H have expanded my horizons in many ways. I have met and made friends that I hope to keep throughout my life. Being a 4-H Northern District Ambassador meant going to visit the capitol in Richmond and helped me see our government’s legislative prdcess in action. 4-H has contributed a lot to my life and 1 will always look back on the great times I had while in the 4H. I would like to take the time and effort to thank the 4-H program in Rappahannock County and the surrounding areas for some of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I encourage other teens to try 4H and maybe you’ll be as lucky as I have been. HOLLY MOFFETT Washington Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Energy policy needs work To the editor: The Persian Gulf War highlights problems with our current energy policies. These problems are especially acute in this community where our population and life style are so dependent on gasoline. Back in December, I saw a cartoon of an oil delivery truck with “Why we fight!” written in large letters on the tank. That’s not funny now. According to the Wall Street Journal... • Oil is the source of about 40 percent of America’s energy. • The U.S. is the world leader in oil consumption, using twice as much per capita as European competitors. • Imported oil accounted for more than half the US trade deficit last year. • The federal government is spending as much on the Persian Gulf war every five to 10 hours as it has budgeted for energy-efficiency research in all of fiscal 1991. Let us hope that one of the positive outcomes of this war will be a willingness for Americans to confront the hard choices we need to make about energy before we bankrupt ourselves financially and morally. We can do more than tie a yellow ribbon on our door knob!

'Heart Healthy' campaign By ROBERT SCOTT Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The 1991 national campaign theme for the American Heart Association is “Women and Heart Disease." Why? Most of us have considered ' heart disease as primarily a man’s problem. However, recent research has revealed that coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in women over the age of 50. From Feb. 1 through Feb. 24, a team of Rappahannock County volunteers will visit the homes of their friends and neighbors to ask for contributions to continue the good work of the American Heart Association. Please open your homes, and your hearts, to these campaign workers when they call on you. Rappahannock County has earned a reputation for being generous to this worthy cause in the past. This year’s Residential Campaign is led by Dr. Gil Webb of Amissville. He is being supported by more than 60 volunteers, many of whom you will know personally. If you don’t recognize the person who comes to your door, ask for some AHA identification which our official volunteers will be carrying with them. The Residential Team Captains are Lillian Aylor of Sperryville, Doris Donald of Castleton, Maybelle Gilkey of Chester Gap, co-captains Judy Halle and Edna Metzinger of Sperryville and Paul Nichols of Flint Hill. You will want to be assured that your contributions actually benefit our community. There is always a cost to fundraising, which the AHA has allowed to be 15 percent. Only 7 percent is spent on management and general overhead. The remaining 78 percent of campaign proceeds goes directly to benefit our own community, spent for research, professional and public education and a variety of community services. Robert Scott is the publicity chairman for the Rappahannock County Unit of the American Heart Association.

Op - Ed / General Assembly more ntearly resembles three-ring circus By JOHN GOOLRIfiR RaHMhuinock New* Special Writer It has been barely four years since I last covered a session of the Virginia General Assembly and things there are both different and the same. New faces abound, particularly a^Jn^the House of Delegates where about a quarter of the present membership was not around when I took leave of full-time journalism. Quite different, too, is the air of fiscal urgency that hangs over the Capitol these days like a shroud. While Virginia had a few mini-budget crises in the 1970s, the good times went on almost unabated in the 1980s. Yet the 1990s obviously are starting on a far different note as the times grow bleaker each day and the state’s fiscal woes are reflected in the downbeat atmosphere of the 1991 legislative session. But despite the changed personnel and conditions, much remains as it was. Self-restraint, unfortunately, has .. never been the long suit of politicians, particularly in election years. This year the General Assembly has been considering a number of bills and resolutions in a 45-day ses Old Dominion Politics sion roughly equal to those it considered in last year’s 60 day session. “We’re trying to do the same work in two weeks less,” said Del. Harry Parrish (R-Prince William), “and its presents some nuqor problems.” He may well have been understating the case since to a casual visitor grown accustomed to the glacial pace of the U.S. Congress, it appeared last week Ringling Brothers had arrived in Richmond ahead of schedule. As the House and Senate rushed to meet deadlines for consideration of their own legislation, dozens of important issues were being discussed, debated and voted on in a manner that resembled the proverbial Oriental fire drill. In the span of a single day some kind of decisions were being made on whether private industry should op erate prisons or jails in the state; whether parents should be notified before an abortion is performed on a minor; what to do aobut a gubernatorial proposal allowing early retirement for many state workers; whether the state’s RF&P stock should be given to the Virginia Retirement System; whether mandatory deposit legislation should be enacted; whether the speed limit for trucks should be raised to 65 on state roads; whether betting at Virginia horse tracks shouid be allowed on tracks outside the state; whether nurse practioners should be able to prescribe some drugs; and a host of others. Such frenetic activity against a backdrop of a full-blown budget crisis has frayed the nerves of legislators and tested their endurance. It has also, as usual, puzzled and sometimes angered members of the public who come to Richmond to see their legislature in operation and are dismayed at the chaotic scenes they encounter. Republican Del. Clinton Miller of Shenandoah is leading a charge to let the General Assembly consider its business under less hurried and stressful conditions. Del. Miller’s resolution that would amend the state constitution Legislative reports Wilder's reversal a win for free speech By DEL. ANDY GUEST Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Jan. 28 I had the opportunity to address a rally, organized to protest Governor Wilder’s position on the removal of American flags, yellow ribbons, and other patriotic symbols from Virginia’s D.M.V. offices; as a show of support for our troops in the Persian Gulf. Over one hundred people gathered at the Capitol to express their outrage at the Governor. Sensing a surge in adverse political damage to his future plans, the Governor reversed his original position just hours before the rally. Governor Wilder announced he would allow state workers to display patriotic symbols “so long as they did not interfere with their official duties.” Chalk this one up as a victory for our 1st Amendment rights. Another first, last week both the Director of the Budget and the Secretary of Finance requested briefings and debriefings. On Tuesday the Director of Planning and Budget, Karen Washabaue, visited my office in order to receive a complete briefing on my “alternative” budget package. Ms. Washabaue’s request for this meeting was prompted, in part, by an editorial appearing in the Richmond Times-Dispatch concerning my “alternative” budget package. My office presented Ms. Washabaue with the figures and methodology of my budget. On Friday, Secretary of Finance, Paul Timmerck, briefed me and our caucus on the impact and status of the literary fund transfer bill and the associated bond issue. Tuesday, Feb. 5 was “Crossover” deadline. All of the House of Delegates bills must be acted on by the legislators and passed over to the Senate by that date. In order for the legislature to meet its “crossover” deadline, the House met throughout the weekend to finish our respective legislation. Due to the large amount of legislation and the limited duration of this session, most of my time has been spent in late night committee meetings and in lengthy floor debates. Last week I received visits from many local constituent groups, including teachers PTA, AFL/CIO, Nurse practitioners, Federal Retirees and Fire-Fighters. All wish ing to express their concerns on pending legislation. I regret that I am not always personally available to meet and listen to your concerns. Your input is needed and greatly appreciated. My staff has explained in detail your opinions and thoughts in order that I may best represent you. In spite of all these briefings and in spite of the hearings held in the crush of the legislative process, the Governor’s budget and the rumored amendments to it will still mandate local tax increases. More effort must be made to make meaningful cuts in state agency budgets. In spite of the large amount of legislation dealt with this weekend, I am happy to report that the majority of my legislation has moved effectively through the House, and was sent to the Senate at the “Crossover.” It is my hope that these bills will be given the same favorable response and passed into law. Any citizen wishing to express their views to me on these or other issues can do so by writing me at Room 614, General Assembly Building, State Capitol, Richmond, Virginia 23219 or by calling (804) 7867395. Mate s financial woes overshadow all issues By SEN. KEVIN MILLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Money, money, money - the lack thereof, has been the overriding concern of legislators during the 1991 Session. During my 11 years as a member of the General Assembly I have never seen such frustration and anxiety on the part of so many state and local government employees, particularly public school personnel. Efforts are being made to take some of the budgeting pressures off of localities. The bill I introduced to make Family Life Education optional was killed in the Senate Education Committee. An identical bill was killed in the House Education Committee. Making Family Life Education optional would allow localities to tailor any so called “Sex Ed” program to the needs of the community and, in most cases, reduce the cost. The House Education Committee approved a bill that would allow specific temporary waivers of the requirements of public school Standards of Quality which would give certain localities more flexibility in areas such as class size and number of required support personnel. However, the Attorney General has issued an opinion that, “any revision of the Standards of Quality, whether initiated by the Board of Education or the General Assembly, must apply on a uniform, statewide basis to all school divisions.” It would therefore appear, that to grant relief, any waiver or temporary suspension of the Standards of Quality should be general and statewide. Each school board would then have more freedom to provide the best program they can put together with available fiinds. Sen. Kevin G.

Del. Miller, a possible GOP candidate for governor in 1993, has long argued that Virginia’s method of making budgets and laws need streamlining for the sake of the public and the legislature. “Every year it becomes increasingly obvious that the process has serious flaws and needs to be corrected.” He was among chief proponents last year of a special session to deal with the fiscal crunch, a suggestion rejected both by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and the Democratic leadership. The rush of events coupled wiftr the financial blues has apparently given this year’s session a sharply more partisan bite than in the past. Said one veteran lobbyist, “It’s getting harder to put together coalitions of Democrats and Republicans. . .the labels didn’t use to make that much difference, but that’s changed. I think the Democrats are really afraid the Republicans might be able to take over the House within a few. years.” Whether there will be a successful move to change the process to ide for consideration of legisn in a more orderly manner is e>tain? Right now those involved are simply trying to struggle through the session. “I think it’s been more difficult for all of us this year than ever,” said veteran Del, Thomas Forehand of Chesapeake. “There’s been no let up.” John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D.

President Abraham Lincoln was viewing the play when suddenly the unmistakable “crack” of a pistol pierced the atmosphere! Lincoln slumped into unconsciousness, felled by the bullet of John Wilkes Booth, a southern sympathizer in the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was tall and thin in stature, with sharp features in contrast to his gentle heart and an honest nature . . ."with malice toward none, with charity for all.” Having struggled from his humble birth in a log cabin to become a self-educated lawyer, and ultimately the sixteenth President of the United States, Lincoln believed in “government of the people, by the people, and for the people ” The rising sun, on the morning of April 15, 1865, found Lincoln stilled forever, claimed in the darkness by death.

The movie is rated PG-13 and showtime is 7:30 p.m. each evening.

Easements Continued from page 1 “Most Virginia easements are worth 20 to 40 percent of the market value, but some have almost no value,” he said. He said that in one case of a family farm on waterfront property in Virginia Beach, the Internal Revenue Service accepted a value for the gift of 75 percent of the value of the land. Mr. Dennis pointed out that since the tax rates were changed as a result of the new tax law in 1986, donations have less value for reducing income taxes, and landowners are less likely to make the donation for that purpose, though they may choose a year to make the donation with that in mind. Mr. Dennis said the change in the tax law has not slowed the pace of easements being donated. “It’s a critical mass kind of thing,” he said. “When a lot of properties are under easement it gets other people interested in the program who wouldn’t have thought of it. ” In neighboring counties he sees a trend to get involved in the program for the purpose of reducing inheritance taxes. “There are cases where the inheritance value of the farm is high, and the family has little other money to pay the inheritance tax. They could sell part to pay the tax, but that could destroy the economic potential of the property and the farm as an economic unit.” Mr. Dennis said in Loudoun County, “Easements are being written now with inheritance tax motiva-' tion.” Easements are being designed to reduce the land value enough so that inheritance taxes can be paid. But Mr. Dennis insists that most donors give the easements to see that the land remains almost unchanged. “In Albemarle County between Charlottesville and Gordonsville there is a community movement to preserve the mountains,” he said. He said in Rappahannock a strip of properties stretching nearly from Massie’s Comer to the Shenandoah Park boundary are under easement. “That encourages others to make gifts in the same region. Once you start getting easement 'parcels together, the next person isn’t taking much risk. It protects real estate value. Buyers like easement protection.” The first person in an area to make an easement donation could be taking quite a risk, Mr. Dennis said. “If you put 50 acres under easement in Culpeper County, you would take the risk of encouraging your neighbors to subdivide to look at the view you’d preserved.” But Mr. Dennis doesn’t see that kind of problem in Rappahannock County where less dense development is allowed. The Huntly resident added that he hopes that more of his neighbors will join him in putting their property under easement. Gallery Continued from page 1 whichjh^ gallery has never tapped before. He said that, in addition to outright donations, the gallery will also solicit sponsorships of one of its 12 yearly shows. Such sponsors would be recognized in the gallery’s advertising for the show. Mr. Wenner added that the VCA has praised the Middle Street Gallery in the past as a particularly strong organization, and said that its continuing grants idicate the type of support it has from the arts community. He called the gallery’s efforts unusual, in that the 18 member artists have been able to build a community within themselves while also producing some “exceptional work, which really reflects this area,” as individual artists. “That uniqueness,” the Restonbased arts consultant continued, might not be so apparent to people who have been in the county for some time. “When you are here and involved, you don’t pick up on it so much as someone from outside. “The Gallery is doing so many wonderful things,” Mr. Wenner added, “it deserves the community’s support. And, I really do feel that the community, when asked, will probably support it.” For more information about the Middle Street Gallery, or its current fundraising campaign, contact Gene Wenner (703-437-4128) or the gallery (703-675-3440). Amendments Continued from page 1 owner of a similar property without children. Mr. Reynolds suggested that instead of allowing greater density for family subdivisions, the ordinances might instead waive filing fees or streamline the application process. Doris Settle disagreed with Mr. Reynolds. “Not everybody can afford big pieces of property,” she said. “We pay our taxes the same as the others. I know there is abuse, but I think the family density should be allowed.” Shirley Berry agreed with Mrs. Settle. Other speakers supported Mr. Reynolds’s position. Robert Dennis said that most surrounding jurisdictions are struggling with family subdivision provisions. “The concern of the rural landowner is that if you carry this to its logical conclusion, you could end up with apartment houses all over the county. You have to think where this all leads. You have to have an ordinance that does not encourage people to come in and buy smaller tracts with the idea that they can divide.” Susan Babcock also supported Mr. Reynolds’s position but said, “I know it’s not easy for families that have been here a long time. I would like to see them provide for family members. If you feel you have to act tonight, the five year holding period would serve your purpose better.” Phil Irwin said, “The sloppiest part of the zoning ordinance is the provision for family subdivision. There are countless examples of the wrong size parcels in the wrong place sold out of the family. ” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked, “How could you create a family subdivision without increasing density?” County Administrator John McCarthy answered, “Typically, what’s waived is road standards.” “We give people precious little in this county,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said. “I see a good faith effort to tighten up on some abuses. I’ve heard about abuses, but there are far more abuses by land investors putting land in land use than there are in family subdivisions.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “I think we should keep in family subdivision, but I don’t think we should be a haven for people from other counties to move in here to do family subdivisions. I’m in favor of the five-year waiting period.” “I think we should provide for family transfers,” Supervisor chairman Hubert Gilkey said. “We’re trying to give long-time residents an opportunity to pass something on to their children.” Flint Hill news notes Mr. and Mrs. Dabney Eastham visited Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Foster on Sunday.
