Carrigans' July 4th * celebrates 30th year By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The annual Fourth of July celebration in Washington, Va. this week promises to be more fun-filled than ever. The highlight of the day will be, of course, the fireworks at night above the Carrigan’s pond at Avon Hall — the 30th year for the event. The town of Washington has spent about $3,000 on the pyrotechnics this year, according to councilmember Ray Gooch. The annual events in town associated with the day’s festivities include the Rappahannock Library book sale, ice cream and used goods at Trinity Church, crafters, music, food and drink and children’s games. Three special events will take place during the day: • At noon Waldron O’Connor will read from historic American documents in a costume of the colonial period, followed by a performance by the Rappahannock Colonial Dancers. • Just before the fireworks are lit, William Carrigan will give his annual speech and a ceremony will mark the transfer of the old library, now the Town Hall, from the county’s possession to the town’s. • Gulf War soldiers and their families will also be recognized during the day. There is one major change this year, as the town has arranged to park all cars in three lots located at the three entrances to town. For a fee of $2, which will support the fire See FOURTH, p. A-7 ‘Mr. William Carrigan for H the 30th consecutive year cordially invites all Rappahannock County people to enjoy another evening of fireworks and all the programs that go with it at Avon Hall —childrens’ games, Arabian horse shows, music, and family picnics on the hills of Avon Hall around the lake in Washington, Va. starting about 5:30 p.m.-6 p.m. The town of Washington has a spectacular new display of fireworks. All are welcome. There is no charge and never has been.’ Deadline set Third lawsuit filed By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Wakefield Board of Directors has made former headmistress Pamela W. Lynn an offer to end their battle for control of the school, but the deadline for her to agree passed Tuesday. According to Mrs. Lynn, the board offered her a two-year sabbatical with pay on the condition she not speak about or involve herself with the school or its operation. In return, she said, the board said it would try to assume the school’s nearly $1 million debt from Mrs. Lynn’s mother-in-law, Clydetta Lynn. Pamela Lynn said the family would not agree to those terms. In another development, a third lawsuit was generated this week, with Clydetta Lynn entering a “suit to quiet title” against lawyers William Bassett and Robert Miller and Board of Directors chairman Lynn Hopewell. The suit is an attempt for Clydetta Lynn to regain the deed to the property, a deed she signed over to the Educo Trust earlier this year. Mr. Bassett and Mr. Miller are the trust’s trustees, and Mr. Bassett is in physical possession of the deed, said Mr. Miller. “We’re going to file an answer and probably plead this deed into court,” asking a judge to decide its fate, said Mr. Miller Tuesday. Pamela Lynn said this week that “nothing would surprise me anymore,” when asked to comment about the $1 million libel suit filed against her by Mr. Miller last week. See WAKEFIELD, p.

Cable TV meets ' ^ ' ’ '' T P with town, county to settle contract'[ By SHARON KILPATRICK l Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer Representatives of the county, the town of Washington, and Central Virginia Cable, a subsidiary of Ad«jlphia Communications, will meet July 5 to try to resolve differences over the cable TV franchise agreement. ** The town and county drafted a franchise agreement and sent it to the cable company this spring. Earlier this month the cable company returned the agreement with changes it wanted marked in. I Several differences will have to be negotiated before the agreement can be brought to a public hearing. J The major issue concerns whether or not the countjy and town can regulate rates for basic service. Federal law allows the localities to regulate rates “if there is no effective competition,” County Administrator John McCarthy said. jr The county can show there is no effective competition if it can show that in a certain number of locations^ the county a homeowner cannot receive several channels over the air. Recently the Federal Communications Commission increased the number of channels, making it easier to show no effective competition, Mr. McCarthy said. If the localities can regulate rates, they cannot be increased without action by the governing bodies. Ih that case the cable company may include very few chanSee CABLE, p. A-2 Carter named new assistant principal By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Larry Carter, the new Rappahannock High assistant principal and athletic director, was already on the job Monday morning. “I’m looking forward to my year here, but there are a lot of new things to get used to,” he said. Mr. Carter has taught physical education and coached various sports at Madison High for the past several years. This past year he was the chairman of the physical education department, assistant football coach and soccer coach. He has both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from East Carolina University. He is now taking courses at the University of Virginia to be endorsed in administration. By the end of the summer he expects to have four of the seven required courses finished and to complete the process during the next school year. He will be taking two courses during the month of July, driving from his home in Madison to Charlottesville for one course in the morning, coming to Rappahannock High in the afternoon and returning to Charlottesville for an evening class. i “And I drive a gas hog truck,” he said. With his wife Judith and 12-year-old daughter Pattie, he expects to continue to live in Madison “for the time being.” After 22 years of teaching he sees his new position “as a chance to advance myself in administration.” He said, ‘Teachers get used to dealing with their own little part of the world. Now I have a bigger part to deal with, and that’s going to take some adjustment.” He is proud of the advanced physical education class he introduced to Madison five years ago. In the class students concentrate of weight training and conditioning. “It’s computerized and individualized to the needs of each student,” he said. “Most of today’s kids are weak in the upper body,” he said. The conditioning program gives them strength and can “turn a nuyor injury into a bruise." More and more girls are taking the course “and sometimes they benefit more than the boys,” he said. Oyer the years he has coached boys’ and girls’ basketball, football, tennis and soccer. “I have really eryoyed that,” he said. “You can get to M more personal with the kids and e>\joy them more.” He realizes that a large part of his new job will be dealing with discipline. “You have to deal with the kids individually and get them to see that their behavior in school is an important part of their being in school,” he said. “It’s a matter of self-respect and respect for the instructor.” Obviously the part of the job that most interests him now, however, is taking overall charge of the athletic program. “Any school, but especially a small school is central in the life of the community," he said. “Athletics shows off the school in ways that other things can’t. I’d like to encourage people to come out and participate in and enjoy athletics. I’d like to see the gym fall every time,” he said. “The more successful the athletics are the more kids become involved, and the more successful the school and athletics will be,” he added. The assistant principal’s job was vacated by David Smith, who was named last month as the new Rappahannock Elementary principal. Larry Carter

I’m very reluctant to guarantee a 30year franchise.” The localities had asked that the basic service be provided free to schools, the library, the courthouse, clerk’s office, county administrator’s office and fire and rescue squads. The cable company offered to provide free service to the schools and two other locations. The cable company struck out all language exempting school owned facilities from establishing a separate cable service. Mr. McCarthy said that had been included to allow the schools to send the satellite education programs received at the high school to the elementary school. Another issue is a reserved public education government channel. Mr. McCarthy said the cable company also struck out all language guaranteeing such a channel. He said he did not see any need for such a channel now, but there might be a need in the future. Another issue is the franchise fee. The proposal called for the county and town to receive 5 percent of gross revenues as a franchise fee. The cable company proposed that “processing charges, copyright fees, and transportation fees” be subtracted before figuring the 5 percent. Several other issues are matters of negotiating numbers. For example, the county proposed that the installation include cable from the the main line 250 feet to a house. Longer lines would require that the homeowner pay extra for the installation. The cable company changed that to 150 feet. This lab-cross male is about one and a half years old and needs a good home. He was found on Route 640 in the Forest Grove area.

Thomas Eugene Shepherd, 53, of Piney Point, Md., barricaded himself in his own vehicle and threatened park police with a handgun before being arrested, according to park spokesman Chuck Anibal. The drama spread to Sperryville, 20 miles away, when a special unit of the U.S. Park Police needed to land their helicopter at Pullen Field on U.S. 211. The top of the mountain was socked in by fog, said Mr. Anibal. Mr. Shepherd threatened po lice with a gun, and the Big Meadows campground was evacuated. At about 10:15 p.m. he drove through police barricades north on Skyline Drive and was stopped in a roadblock on an isolated part of the drive, seven - miles north of Big Meadows, at 10:30 p.m. Mr. Anibal said Mr. Shepherd remained in his vehicle until 5:05 a.m., when He surrendered to ne- . gotiators. He was transported to Western State Hospital in Staunton for psychiatric care. Mr. Shepherd never fired the gun, said Mr. Anibal, but he did point it at law enforcement officers. Mr. Shepherd came to Big Meadows because of “personal family problems that we can’t divulge,” said Mr. Anibal. : County emergency log Fire & rescue The following calls were routed through the dispatch center during the past week: June 17: 1:04 a.m., chest pains, Route 1001, Sperryville Rescue Squad and Washington Fire Department; 6:14 a.m., chest pains, Route 600, Sperryville Rescue Squad and Washington Fire Department; 6:30 p.m., chest pains, Route 650, Castleton Fire Department.

Mrs. Atkins gets clearance Yates proposal tabled by county planners By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer For years Sallie Atkins and her family have been claiming that the family subdivision provisions of the county’s zoning ordinance are unfair because she was not allowed to divide off a lot for her daughter Shirley Berry to build a house on. When she first approached the county government, she said she had three acres. She was advised to buy another acre so each of the lots would have the minimum two acres. She bought another acre from a neighbor, but then it turned out that she had not had three acres to begin with, and with the additional acre, she now had 3.1 acres, still too small for the subdivision. Recently Mrs. Berry’s husband died, and Mrs. Atkins instead requested a special use permit to build1 a family apartment for Mrs. Berry and her son. The ordinance allows family apartments providing they contain no more than 800 square feet of living space. Mrs. Atkins applied for an 800-square foot building with a fullsized unfinished basement below the apartment. The building is to be built on a hill, and it will be possible to walk out of the basement on grade 4evel. When the application came to the Planning Commission last Wednesday, Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said, “We’re back in the same thing as before. We’re talking about a 1,600-squarefoot house. If we continue doing that, there is no sense in having the 800-square-foot limitation. Who’s to say the basement won’t be finished?” ” The other planners seemed to agree but felt they were in a bind. They had approved family aparthients before that were built over storage areas or garages. “I see your point,” Mike Massie said. “If you have 800 square feet of living area, you need some storage space.” “I think you’re right,” Hampton District representative John Clark Jr. said. “But we have to act on this application.” v Jackson District representative David Fannon said, “These are special circumstances. These ladies heed some help.” County Administrator John McCarthy said he would prepare an amendment to the ordinance to restrict storage space in family apart Correction In the story of the Rappahannock High graduation last week, the following was inadvertently omitted: A Rappahannock Garden Club scholarship was presented to Linda Jenkins. f > ments that do not use an existing building. Dr. Krebser made the motion to recommend approval of Mrs. Atkins’ family apartment application, and the motion passed unanimously. The only other application before the planners was tabled. James E. Yates had applied for a special exception to subdivide a 102acre farm into four parcels of 12, 7, 20 and 63 acres. As long as the average density is one lot per 25 acres, he would be allowed to do this with a special exception. However, the or dinance provides that only 30 percent of land in slopes over 25 percent and flood plain land can count in computing density. Mr. McCarthy said he had just received a slope analysis on the property. With 11.9 acres with steep slopes and 8.6 acres in a flood plain, Mr. Yates had the equivalent of 87.99 acres and could only divide his land into three parcels. Mr. Yates asked if the application could be tabled so he could decide on how he now wanted to divide the land. The planners agreed. Sheriffs fund dinner draws 250 in Castleton By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Among the 250 people who attended Sheriff John Henry Woodward’s fund raising dinner and contributed $3,900 to his re-election campaign were three of the five members of the Board of Supervisors including the chairman, the chairman of the School Board, the chairman of the Library Board, and all the other constitutional officers. The tables set at the Castleton Fire Hall, where Sheriff Woodward serves as chief, were full of people eating and talking. The food never ran out, but the baked beans were getting pretty thin toward the end. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, “I think he’s done a good job. Since he’s taken over, he has increased the efficiency of the office. He’s always acted in a professional manner. He’s put the emphasis on investigating crimes. He’s done a good job of cutting through the red tape to bring the jail up to specs and runs it in an economical manner. Besides, I like him.” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said, “I think he’s done a very good job. I appreciate what he’s been doing, and I want to support him.” Her husband James Massie added, “We want to continue to have excellent protection.” Library Board Chairman William Young said, “I think he’s doing a good job. He’s been very cooperative with the library, seeing that the prisoners can get books and helping with the move. He’s been a good administrator.” Piedmont District supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes said, “I think he’s done an excellent job as sheriff. He has the best interests of Rappahannock at heart, and he performs a lot of services not required by his office.” Sheriff Woodward is opposed by Roger Cordani of Amissville, an independent.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Silas Martin has kept 1959 John Deere running even after buying Mrs. Martin a new one. Silas Martin's farm provides vegetables to region, No. Va. By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer (Editor's note: This'is the third installment in a series on marketing farm produce in Rappahannock Con nty.) Silas Martin in Amissville has already harvested various varieties of beans, potatoes, and entire crops of peas and onions. A member of the Farmers’ Market Association, Mr. Martin loads his truck four times a week with produce and delivers it to regular customers in Fauquier, Front Royal, Arlington and Fairfax. “Sixteen years ago, seven of us got together with the idea of a farmers’ market,” he explained walking through rows of corn peeping through the ground. “Now, we have 2H members," he said, serving over 18,000 customers each week. Mr. Martin, a tall, lean man. browned from hours in the hot sun and roughened from field labor, was bom and raised in Rappahannock County, with his present home just yards from his family place. “We always farmed.’’ he said, adding in those days it was much harder to work with a horse-drawn plow. Farming however, was not his first calling. Mr. Martin worked w'ith Monticello Dairy in Culpeper AVERY "SPECIAL" THANKS I would like to thank each and everyone that was involved in the preparation for the two surprise parties on the aay of my retirement.

Relaxation and spare time are not the things Mr. Martin has found in retirement. He works from sun-up to sundown, seven days a week, nine months every year. The three months he is not working in his fields, he overhauls chainsaws, lawnmowers and repairs small engines. The summer and spring months are the most busy for Mr. Martin. “I usually start picking by 4:30 a.m.,” he said, adding often before picking he bakes pound cakes to sell with his produce. The Martin farm is a family business, labor supplied by Martin and his three grown children and wife. “I just bought my wife a new tractor,” he said, adding while the children help with harvest and bookkeeping, none hope to carry on the thriving agricultural business he has built over the years and he plans retirement from the business in just a few7 years. Farming with a 1959 John Deere tractor and several accessories like a planter, a discer and a plow, Mr. Martin plants the acreage each spring defying the odds. He plants early to avoid the heat of summer which also often avoids the need to irrigate. Sometimes, he loses the crop to cold, pests, drought, or wet conditions. “My philosophy is that if I put it in the ground and the good Lord doesn’t send the right conditions to grow it, then I can do without it,” he said with laughter. “My family told me I would starve to death,” he said of his family’s first reaction to his planting one » acre. •“I’m still eating good and so are lots of other people,” he said, adding if he could raise coffee and sugar he would not need to go to a supermarket, as his acreage provides meat and vegetables. “I just kept adding on an acre each year,” he said with a smile, adding the business is profitable as his regular customers await his truck each week. “I can never have too much," he See MARTIN, p.

THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1991 Editorial ja. ■ Piedmont's school seat ; The people of Piedmont District are to be congratulated for coming out to express their wishes concerning the vacant School Board seat in their district. When Dorothy Butler resigned leaving a little more than a year of her term remaining, several people in the district became interested in who would fill that remaining term. A few weeks ago the four-year terms of Bryant Lee in Hampton District and Paul Nichols in Wakefield District were up for reappointment. No one turned out for the public hearings on those appointments. We assume the lack of turnout indicated satisfaction with the job these gentlemen are doing on the School Board, but it would have been nice if someone had come to say so. A year ago, when the School Board seat in StonewallHawthom District was open, no one turned out for the public hearing to recommend a candidate. John Tole was appointed on the recommendation of his supervisor. * We expect Frances Thornton, Piedmont’s new board ipember, to be an excellent addition to the School Board. After Starting as a teacher in the schools, she gave many years of her life in service as the county public health nurse. * After her retirement, she has continued to serve as a volunteer in the elementary school. She knows Rappahannock’s children well. ' Vinnie Carney started the youth soccer program that serves children from all schools. She has also been instrumental in launching the Education Foundation to raise money to directly benefit children in the county’s public schools. I Mrs. Carney’s gracious gesture in bowing to the greater support shown for Mrs. Thornton at the public hearing is to be commended. Perhaps her chance will come later. ; The citizens of Piedmont District are indeed fortunate to have two such qualified candidates for their School Board seat.

Jenkins, Michael Brandon, Bethany Connor and Cassie Darnell. Letters to the editor 'As a parent and teacher' To the Editor: Perhaps another perspective is apropos to the current controversy over who will run Wakefield (“Wakefield evicted; Mrs. Lynn drops suit,” June 13). As a parent of two alumni and as teacher and head of the Classics Department at Wakefield for the past seven years, it amazes me that the central issue keeps being lost in “lawy&r-ese.” The board unequivocally stated publicly and frequently that Pam Lynn would be vice president in charge of curriculum, then consistently and reprehensibly sidestepped the issue of exactly what her duties would be. My personal view has always been that Mrs. Lynn was much too generous both in the terms of the turning over of the school and in her estimation of the motivations of certain board members. To parents and teachers who early expressed concerns about her role and board procedures, she counselled giving a six-month period of adjustment to those new to the task of serving on the board. in tnose six montns, tne board through its representatives let it be known that it was “politically correct” to bash Mrs. Lynn. The bash, ing continues in the spate of articles in Fauquier, Warren and Rappahannock county newspapers. These articles are timed, I believe, to sway public opinion as the July 1 eviction approaches. The personal, professional and financial ruin of Mrs. Lynn seems to have become an obsession with those who one year ago sang her praises and who today unconscionably invoke Bill Lynn’s name. The board in its choice of president, indeed in the very manner of selection, betrays a lack of awareness and interest in Wakefield’s history and philosophy. I submit that willful ignorance is a strange stance for a group supposedly devoted to promoting Wakefield’s educational alternative. Why haven’t Dr. Saunders and the board been more curious about the history and philosophy of the school? Why have they been so anxious to remove from the scene those who know the school most intimately? In offering the faculty a contract that states that we may be dismissed “for any reason” with two weeks’ notice, the board shows a disdain, public protestations to the contrary, for the teachers. A faculty petition to include a grievance procedure was rejected. The grievance procedure issue has been addressed, but not resolved, in the past two weeks with a stacked faculty committee appointed by Dr. Saunders. Dr. Saunders and the board say that the curriculum at Wakefield has not changed, but that assertion hinges on the definition of curriculum. If one means by curriculum the published description of the course of studies, then there have been no changes; in fact, there have been clarifications. There is no doubt, however, to an insider that there has been an erosion of the curriculum if by curriculum one means the course of studies in its implementation: In the required eight week tests, in the “academics first” philosophy, in the departmental tests in certain subjects, in the emphasis on content, in the fifty-percent exams, in the use of weekly assembly time to instruct (the Lynns considered themselves teachers of the entire student body) about words of the day, about public holidays, about current events, about the rationale for school rules, etc. I believe the board of trustees should be held accountable for their unwillingness to work with Mrs. Lynn. Why have they requested, specifically or obliquely, that teachers take sides? Why are they putting the onus for school management, via the committee system, on the teachers? Why, when they mention a parents’ association vote, don’t they include the numerous abstentions that make the assertion of two-toone support in their favor ludicrous and patently misleading? Why won’t they sit down with Mrs. Lynn and discuss a third way of running Wakefield: As a joint effort with mutually agreed job descriptions that have as their goal the continuation of the excellence for which Wakefield has been noted? If they can’t work with Mrs. Lynn, why don’t they resign? She is, after all, a co-founder of the school. I am grateful for the six years in which I worked under the Lynns. I am grateful for my sons’ exposure to individuals who had a passion for academic excellence and who were unrelenting in making it a reality in Rappahannock County. KAY LARRIEU Manassas Casino night went off well To the Editor: On behalf of RAAC, I want to thank you sincerely for the excellent coverage that you and the other people at the paper gave us for our Casino Night. The photographs that were taken by Cindy Mahan were beautifully done, and the coverage both before and after the event was a tremendous help to us. The coverage for the event helped make it a success, and the coverage after the event, helped us, I am sure, in having a successful annual event. Once again thank you very much, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

To the Editor: Re: “Standing on Fishes,” Rappahannock News, June 20, page B-l: For the record: If any of my ancestors “came out of the water onto land,” they were wearing scuba gear. HOWARD HOLSGHUH Castleton Plants aren't just weeds To the Editor: Monday morning I was driving toward Sperryville on Route 231. I noticed the beautiful flowering purple faces of the thistle plant, strong and proud. Did you know it is the national flower of Scotland and the root and stalks are medicinal, as well as a survival food? I also noticed the magnificent yellow spears of the mullein flower stalks. They stand erect like people in a trail of soft velvety leaves. Mullein flower oil can help cure ear infections. A tea made from the flowers has a soothing effect on the digestive system. The Indians add dried leaves to a smoking mixture, each step of the collecting and preparing is lavished with prayer, meditation and song. Later as the day became one of the most beautiful days of summer, I was driving back down 231. I passed a truck, that men were standing on, holding big hoses, spraying weed killer. It was as if they were holding machine guns making war against these healing herbs. Their aliveness was so powerful, I could hear them screaming! I don’t understand why VDOT has to kill these vibrant plants, especially at the peak of their flowering. It is a sin against nature, at a time when there is no excuse for unskillful action toward our environment. A few hours later, driving the same road I noticed the poisined plants, wilting, brown, and dying. Why are these plants harmful? Is it because their colors are too beautiful? Is the joy and pleasure received from them too simple? Or are they too wild and free? I wish someone would please tell me why. kim McLaughlin Sperryville This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO June 24, 1971 Mr. and Mrs. William M. Carrigan extend a cordial invitation to the people of Rappahannock to share with them an evening of celebration on Independence Day, July 4th, 1971 at Avon Hall, Washington, Virginia. Luminaries, displays, exhibits and rocket fireworks will be shown on the ground around Avon Lake, beginning about 7:00 o’clock p.m. Fireworks display will begin at 9:00 p.m. A Title I Summer Program will be held for all children in Rappahannock County entering first grade in the fall for the first time. The program will run from July 8-July 29, 1971 at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Transportation along main routes will be provided.

$7.1 million budget locks in property tax rate at 77 cents By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Monday night to adopt the proposed budget for next year. The $7.1 million budget will continue to be funded by a 77 cent rate on real estate and a $2.90 rate on personal property. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked his fellow supervisors to consider reducing the real estate tax rate. County Administrator John McCarthy responded, “We won’t be building a jail addition again, and we won’t be buying the town hall again, but the reason to retain and expand the surplus is we don’t know what Richmond is going to do to us, and it’s not likely to be good for us. ” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “The last time we met, I was all for bringing it down, but I had to defer to better judgment. We don’t know what the state’s going to charge for permitting fees for the landfill. It will cost a county with a small population as much as Fairfax. I would feel more comfortable to build that reserve because we could well get clobbered.” “From a budgeting standpoint, I would never recommend we retain 18 to 20 percent as surplus,” Mr. McCarthy said. “But there are carryover bills in the General Assembly that would require us to fund positions we have never funded before. If there is a situation where the state does not cut us, we can go ahead with deferred capital projects. We need to retain some security for the board and citizens of Rappahannock.” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he would favor retaining the 77 cent rate to keep from having to raise taxes for the next budget. “Next year will be a different ballgame,” Mr. Anderson said, referring to the fact that next year’s tax rate will be based on a new reassessment. “The reassessment will have no impact,” Col. Bingham said. “The taxpayers’ dollar may not sound like 77 cents, but 67 cents could take more out of his pocket. ” “I’m the new kid on the block,” Mr. Anderson said. “But that sounds like a lot of surplus to hold.” Mr. Estes reminded the board of the time the surplus was cut so close the county had to borrow money to meet the payroll. “It doesn’t show fiscal responsibility to cut it that close,” he said. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that all county departments including the schools had tried to cut their budgets for this year. “I don’t think we can look at them with good faith if we ask them to hold down costs and then cut the rate. It will help us more in the future than if we cut two cents tonight.” “It looks like I’ve got a losing argument,” Mr. Anderson said. “I’ve been getting some flack about why we should be holding that much money in surplus.” “How much flack do you think we had to take when we had to borrow money?” Mr. Gilkey asked. Col. Bingham’s motion to pass the budget w'ith current tax rates passed unanimously. Mrs. Thornton named to coupty School Board Frances Thornton will be the new School Board member from Piedmont District. She will serve the remaining year of the term Dorothy Butler held until she resigned. Mrs. Thornton was the only person nominated at a public hearing Monday evening. Only those nominated at the hearing can be considered for the appointment. Mrs. Thornton served for many years as the public health nurse in the county. After her retirement she has volunteered in the elementary school, helping both as a nurse and as an office assistant. Margaret Ann Way land from Sperryville nominated Mrs. Thornton, reading from a letter from former elementary school principal Mary Quaintance Snead, who was in the hospital. Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR TIPS FOR A LOCAL MOVE If you plan to make a local household move and do the moving yourself, here is some advice that could be helpful.

Mrs. Snead’s letter praised Mrs. Thornton for “always cooperating with the schools . . . She is well respected, and has good rapport with all age groups,” the letter continued. Former elementary school librarian Lucia Kilby also spoke in support of Mrs. Thornton. “She taught and then served as public health nurse,” Mrs. Kilby said. “She knows firsthand the problems of the students. ” Aileen Johnson said she had 12 other people to speak in support of Mrs. Thornton, “but that would be repetitious. We feel Piedmont District is fortunate to find one so capable.” Vinnie Carney said, “I came here really wanting to be on the School Board, but I have worked with Mrs. Thornton in the school, and I am happy to support her.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Gahnellc Lee Bill and Isabelle Remington at their Flint Hill home. Business helps builders find the right architect The idea behind the new service begun by Hint Hill resident William Remington is to bring together architects and people in this region who are planning to build. “I’m looking for anyone who wants to build something, from a home to a church or a hospital,” said Mr. Remington, who recently launched a building, design and services consulting firm out of his home in Rappahannock. Mr. Remington spent 23 years with architectural magazines and then 20 more as a public affairs officer with HOK, one of the world’s most successful commerieal architectural firms. •Although he’s not an architect himself, Mr. Remington is well connected with many of the leading architects and designers in the building industry. He wants to share that experience with his.new neighbors and hopefully establish a source of extra income for himself. “This is a beautiful county — what could be more beautiful? People are finding it, and it’s a golden opportunity to put up something useful and comfortable to themselves. I’m saying go for what you can get," he said. Mr. Remington cited some of the common mistakes made by those planning to build as failure to search competitively for an architect, designing from the outside-in, and not taking into consideration their own living habits. Knowing people in all aspects of building design means Mr. Remington can put builders together with (§5 Southern State!

I’m going to give him a choice and if one of my recommendations don’t work we’ll keep going." said Mr. Remington. In building his own house, Mr. Remington used the team approach that he espouses. The designer, his builder J.D. Richer of Warrenton and the land engineer/surveyor Fannie Baumgardner worked together on each phase of the project. “It’s a team approach, and my role will be putting the team together," he said. “The rapport between us was wonderful and that’s what you’ve got to have for success,” he said. Now that his wife Isabelle has “made a home” of their new house, Mr. Remington is anxious to share his expertise with people of Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Mr. Remington will be charging a $150 retainer fee plus $75 an hour for his time. He estimated that he can assemble the entire team for about $300-$400. Richard McNear considers campaign against Jerry Wood By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Two full months after Democrat Jerry Wood announced his bid for the 31st District seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, Republicans are still looking for a candidate to face him. On Tuesday, Richard McNear, Fauquier County’s deputy administrator for planning and a Rappahannock resident, confirmed he has been approached about running for the seat. “I’ve had some requests,” Mr. McNear said. “I’m in the process of mulling it over.” If Mr. McNear decides to run and wins the seat, “I’d retire a little early” from the county planning job, he said. “There’s not enough time to fill this position and do a good job in Richmond.” Mr. McNear emphasized he is still “just thinking about it. There are some other good people consid The redistricting plan approved by the Democrat-dominated General Assembly split Fauquier County once again, this time into the 31st and 33rd House districts. And, the redistricting left Republican Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr., who has represented the 31st District for 19 years, shoved into the 15th District in the Shenandoah Valley. So far, although a number of names have been mentioned as possible GOP candidates for the seat Republicans allege was created specifically for Mr. Wood, a long-time Democratic activist in Fauquier, no one has officially announced. Warrenton Mayor J. Willard Lineweaver flirted with the idea for several weeks back in April, but ultimately decided to stick with his present post, one he has held since 1974. “I’ll be mayor until 1994, and I’m not as young as I used to ,be," the t->8year-old Mr. Lineweaver said. "I decided to turn it over to the young people.” Petty Quigley, Fauquier County’s Republican Committee chairman, said the committee is still talking to potential candidates. “The way I see it, there are maybe two viable candidates.” She said that committee representatives are meeting with members from Rappahannock and Warren counties to find a candidate suitable to all. She said she doesn’t feel that the eventual candidate’s late start against Mr. Wood, who has been on the hustings for weeks, will be a handicap. “We’re doing it cautiously.

Remington attorney Robert A. Niles said, “I’ve given some thought to it, yes. But,” he added, “we're looking for somebody more appropriate, the strongest candidate." He said the three counties’ chairmen are “cooperating ... exploring all three counties. We don’t think this is a Fauquier seat. It represents all the people of all three counties. A vote in Rappahannock or Warren County counts just as much as a vote here. This is an overall district effort." <xi i crntun itrMutriii vvaiit*r Hitchcock said, "I was approached by numerous persons about running for the newly-created delegate’s post." He said he was “honored bv the suggestion and intrigued by the possibilities,” but declined consideration of a bid for the nomination. Mr. Hitchcock added that his "time and energy” are being consumed by his commitment to Millfield, a low-and moderate-income housing project he is planning in the Warrenton area. Del. Guest, who is the minority leader in the House of Delegates, called the redistricting plan "the worst I’ve ever seen. It is absolutely incredible that the Democratic majority would go to the extent it did to pair Republican incumbents in the same districts." As evidence of the blatant political motivation he charges is behind the new districts, Del. Guest cited the 15 GOP delegates and one independent who have been paired in eight House districts. Speaking as one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed to challenge the plan. Guest added, "If the Supreme Court wants to look at an example of politically-motivated gerrymandering, this is a perfect example of it." SHENANDOAH MOTORS, INC. Routes 522 & 34 Front Royal, Va.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan New librarian Nicki Lynch helped open the new building Monday. New library opened Monday New librarian Nicki Lynch was on hand to greet the small crowd that had gathered for the opening of the new library Monday. She reported that the move went very smoothly, and that Dieter Knuepfer, who volunteered to organize the move is “a wonderful man who actually moved all the books alphabetically.” She said the move was carried out with 15 pickup trucks and volunteers including members of the Lion’s Club and Library Board. She also thanked the sheriff who sent over “the fellows from the jail who provided much of the muscle power.” With lots of shelf space there are no books on the bottom shelves, and “we’ve been able to get the large print books out into the open in light,” Mrs. Lynch said. “I’m going to miss the old library, even though I was only there for a week, but it was a little too cozy for all these books,” she added. Jean Moffett was the first customer. She said the new library was “lovely,” but she was sorry it wasn’t the easy walk from her house that the old library was. Volunteer Ruth Richards urged her to walk up regularly anyway. “It will be so good for you,” she said. Six-year-old Elaine Smith checked out eight books. “It’s beautiful,” her mother said. Libby Whetzel came to check out the facilities for the Literacy Volunteers to use for tutoring GED students in the evening. “I think it’s lovely,” she said. “It’s much roomier and lighter.” Sen. Miller to run to keep seat By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer State Sen. Kevin G. Miller of Harrisonburg, a stalwart conservative member of the General Assembly’s Republican minority announced last week that he plans to seek a third term representing the 26th District. -' Mr. Miller sees the budget as the •most important issue facing the State’s legislators during the next several years. “At best, it just won’t ■get worse,” he said of Virginia’s current fiscal situation. “And even if it does improve, it will get more difficult, because the governor has raided all the available financial cookie jars. It can’t be done again.” ' Although in recent weeks Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has hinted that a State tax increase may be necessary, ‘Mr. Miller said he disagrees. “I don’t know that we need one.” He ex• plained that raising the tax rate can actually produce less revenue, since it discourages business investment and takes money out of the pockets 1 of tlj£ consumers. Mr. Miller, who was first elected to the Senate in 1983, was re-elected in 1987 when he defeated Culpeper County Supervisor William Chase. Born in North Carolina, Mr. Miller, 60, is a professor emeritus of accounting at James Madison University in Harrisonburg. As the only certified public accountant in the Senate, he finds it curious but not unexpected that he has not been appointed to the powerful Finance Committee, which is dominated by the most senior Democrats. However, with the death of State Sen. John C. Buchanan, D-40th, and the retirement of senators D.J. “Buzz” Emick, D-22nd; William A. Truban, R-27th; and Clive L. DuVal, D-32nd; after the November election at least four seats will be open on the Finance Committee. As the Senate’s lone CPA, Mr. Miller feels it is only natural that he should be appointed to fill one of the seats. Jefferson birthday observed Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. introduced recently, with the support of the entire Virginia Congressional delegation, legislation that will create a commission authorized to coordinate commemorative activities celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Slaughter, addressing House colleagues, stated: “It is indeed an honor to remember and to recognize one of the most significant figures in American history. The legislation introduced today will focus attention and thought to Thomas Jefferson’s legacy of excellence.” The commission to be established by Mr. Slaughter’s bill would promote and coordinate activities.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspaper! Staff Writer The first fundraising event for Jerry Wood, Democratic candidate for the 31st District of the House of Delegates, was deemed one of the most bountiful pre-nomination fundraisers ever put on in the state. Wood’s campaign fundraiser, which took place at Ted and Elizabeth Bullard’s Ridgelea in Fauquier last month, raised nearly $25,000, according to Earl Frazier, fundraising coordinator. The event was attended by Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, who is expected to run for governor in 1993, and Del. A1 Smith of Winchster, chairman of the House Democratic caucus and a chief fundraiser for Democrats around the state. Smith told a crowd of about 60 people at Ridgelea, “Your candidate raised more money than I have ever known in the state of Virginia” before a Democratic nomination. The Winchester delegate said that the amount was remarkable for a candidate who currently has no known opposition. “It’s hard to raise money when you don’t have opposition — or certainly announced competition,” said Smith, who represented Fauquier County from 1974 to 1981. “In order for any candidate to succeed today, it takes money,” said Ms. Terry. “With Jerry Wood, there’s a story to tell.” Frazier said that the campaign was originally aiming to raise about $20,000. The newly created 31st District is comprised of all of Fauquier Martin Continued from page A-3 said of his produce, adding each week his truck returns to the county empty. “And, I love it,” he said of his acres of com and beans, squash and cucumbers. He bends and sifts a handfull of soil through his fingers. It’s soft and smooth as sand from years of working and care. “When I first started, the soil test told me the soil was “punny”,” he said with a smile.

Not only local extension departments but Virginia Tech representives have reviewed Martin’s farm. “I’ve shown VPI people how soon you can get things to produce,” he said with a smile. His expertise in gardening has come with experience. “I can usually just look at the plant and tell,” he said.

The fundraising event attracted several other Fauqtiier candidates, including Alice Jane Childs, commissioner of revenue, Cedar Run Supervisor Wilbur Burton and Sheriff Ashby Olinger, each of whom plans to run for re-election. Also in attendance were planning commissioner Michael Molloy, a Democratic candidate for the Lee District supervisor seat, and Jean Brown, candidate for the 33rd District seat, which includes The Plains and Rectortown precincts. Fauquier Democratic chairman William Barr called the event “a bipartisan turnout,” which he said appeared to indicate a wide spectrum of support. Barr’s observation was later echoed by Ms. Terry who said, “Jerry Wood appears to have an extraordinarily broad political base that transcends political boundaries.” Wood, owner of Fauquier Pharmacy in Warrenton, has been eyeing the House of Delegates for more than 10 years, but the Democrat said that he would run only if redistricting yielded a district that included a majority of Fauquier County. Speaking briefly, he told his supporters that constituent service would go hand-in-hand with his leg! islative duties if he is elected to th^ 31st District. • “I’m very proud to be running in such a wonderful district,” he said. ! Wood appointed Harvey Pear! son, retiring Clerk of the Court, a$ the honorary chairman of his cam1 paign and attorney Dudley Payne as his treasurer. Also at the event, Smith touted Ms. Terry as a tough attorney with a business sense. ; “There’s a rumor floating around that she might be running for gover! nor,” Smith said with a smile. Ms. Terry put off her bid for th£ governor’s office in 1989 to avoid a party division between her and then* Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder. She easily defeated Sen.

Beyer, whose position has typically been considered merely a stepping stone to the governorship, has been discussed ais a possible Democratic challenger to Ms. Terry. Saying that some things are meant to change and some things are meant to stay the same, Ms. Terry said that Fauquier “symbolizes and epitomizes things we don’t want to change.” * Miller's two-lot division passes town planners By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town Planning Commission recommended approval for Newbill Miller’s proposed subdivision of his property Monday evening and decided with two members absent not to begin consideration of the Comprehesive Plan. Mr. Miller had applied to divide his approximately 5.6 acre property into two parcels, one containing his house and 2.6 acres and the other containing about three acres. The planners went through detailed procedures to make sure Mr. Miller’s application met all of the requirements of the 1981 subdivision ordinance. The new subdivision ordinance has not yet been adopted by Town Council.

At the end of their review the planners asked Mr. Miller to make sure the survey noted that the property is in Rappahannock, not Fauquier County, provide a plat showing a secondary area for a septic drainfield, and post bond to insure compliance with requirements for curb and gutter along business 211, a requirement that Tow n Council can waive. At the end of the review member Stuart Willis said he had no questions but wanted to express “my sadness that you’re dividing one of the prime properties in towm.” Mr. Miller replied that he hoped to sell his property as a unit but wanted the subdivision in case he couldn’t. Susan Parrish said she considered the subdivision “by right.” ;; Col. Willis’s motion to recommend approval passed unanimously. Sgt. Jenkins is decorated Air Force Tech. Sgt. Danny L.

PEC's major concern: Water Robert Dennis terms land use tax valuable By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Robert T. Dennis, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, sees the water supply for Virginia’s Northern Piedmont at a critical stage and the land-use value tax as a valuable means of preserving rural J&nd. Dennis made the observations in an interview June 14 during an Arundel Newspapers editors’ meeting in Warrenton. The Piedmont Environmental Council has taken positions on issues ranging from growth management to taxes and transportation. The PEC was set up in 1972 to try to preserve the rural character of the Northern Piedmont, which is comprised of Clarke, Loudoun, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Greene, Orange and Albermarle counties. -1 “We are an organization of rural landowners trying to keep rural an area that is subject to an awful lot of development pressures,” said Mr. Dennis, who has served as the organization’s president since 1981. In 1984, the PEC decided to create its vision of the future. The result was the Virginia Piedmont Reserve, which established a goal of tryng to keep a total of one million acres in rural character within the nine counties of its region. “That would still leave slightly more than half of the nine counties available for development, so we don’t think we are reaching too far,” said Mr. Dennis. The PEC is mainly interested in preserving a landscape that is privately-owned and remains in productive use, explained Mr. Dennis. “I personally believe that the question of how you protect the public resources value of private lands is going to be an increasing environmental challenge as we go into the next century,” he said. “I don’t think we know how to do it nowr,” he said, “but we are learning.” “The public has a lot of interest in private lands and the open space character of the bucolic quality of the region,” said Mr. Dennis. It also has a growing interest in those lands because they provide wildlife habitat, watershed protection and many other values, Mr. Dennis said. PEC’s aim is to secure voluntary action to get permanent protection for private property. Among the PEC’s concerns is the area’s water supply, which is extremely restricted, he said. The amount of available groundwater in the upper Rappahannock basin is as yet unknown, he said. “Noboby knows because nobody ever spent the money to do the necessary studies,” he said. “Around the region where pump tests have been required, I think there’s substantial indication that pump tests reduce the flow or other wise temporarily desurpt nearby wells,” said Mr. Dennis. In Fauquier and Loudoun counties there is already some evidence that water is not in endless supply. The Dew’berry and Davis study, which looked into the water supply in the designated service districts in Fauquier, indicated to the PEC that the county should consider curbing its development. “I read the Dewberry and Davis study to read, ‘Well you know, you are right at the edge of the water supply, both surface and subsurface and may be really stretching it,’ ” said Mr. Dennis. Loudoun, too, may be over extending its development potential in some areas, Mr. Dennis said. “I really think some of these proposals for the development of Round Hill and Purcellville and places like that have not been done with enough thought as to where the water supply is going to come from,” he said. “I think that in the long run, it’s going to be the county governments that are going to suffer... When [people’s | wells go dry they are going to demand that the county do something about it.” “Arid I think the counties are going to find that there’s almost nothing they can do about it,” he added. But the depth of the water supply in the region remains an un known until a definitive study is done, something that appears unlikely to Mr. Dennis. “The costs of doing a definitive study are just extreme and I don’t think we’ll ever do it on a regional basis,” said Mr. Dennis. Mr. Dennis said the signs are there, however. “We’re in the crisis stage and we don’t know it yet,” he said. In addition to the easement program, the PEC involved in other concerns that relate to its aim of preserving rural landscape. The PEC also seeks to promote legislation to imprive the planning process. “We need a much different kind of land planning than we’ve traditionally had,” he said, with more consideration being given to water supply and other environmental concerns. In addition, the PEC stands firmly behind the land-use value tax, which taxes the land in the program, usually at a lower rate, according to its soil quality. The program is designed to protect agricultural, forestal, horticultural land and open space. An election issue in Fauquier County, the use value tax has been carefully scrutinized by some county residents who say there is a need to reform the program. While few advocate eliminating the tax program, many say that enforcement efforts are strained and there are clear abuses of the program. “We recognize that there are abuses, but there is probably more of a perception of abuses than there are actual abuses,” said Mr. Dennis. Allowing the abuses to continue, however, may be in the best interest of the county, said Mr. Dennis, rather than risk losing the program. “The county has the option to adopt only the open space category, which would take care of the greatest abuses,” he added. He said, however, “I do think there is some technical abuse, simply becauce they can’t go and count trees.” Town BZA meets for first time in six years, rejects variance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town of Washington’s Board of Zoning Appeals turned down a request for a variance from front, rear and side setback requirements for a house last Thursday evening. It was the first time in six years the board had met to consider such an application. In 1985 they had also denied a request for a variance from setback requirements for a garage addition. Actually the board had met once in the six-year interval. The week before last they met to organize and elect officers since several new members had been appointed. They elected Peter Skowronski chairman, Mitzi Young vice-chairman and Charles Eldred secretary. Other members are Mary Updike and Joan Frizzell. Fredette Eagle wanted to put a log cabin with a board and batten addition on an approximately 27- by 42foot lot that now holds a dilapidated shed, which fills the entire lot. The lot is located across Wheeler Fourth Continued from page A-1 department and other charitable causes, drivers can park all day. The lots will be at Newbill Miller’s farm west of town on U.S. 211-Business, by the Cash Store on Main Street and on Warren Avenue near the fire hall on U.S. 211-Business.

The special holiday admission fee will be $2 for all ages. Call 675-3193. The Rappahannock Historical Society will present a special exhibit that day, “Rappahannock Through the Years,” at the society’s Gay Street headquarters. The exhibit highlights the historical events in the county and features cultural aspects, such as farm life., as well. New acquisitions of the society will be on display as well, including a 19th century list of slaves at Rosewood plantation in Sperryville, a number of 100-year-old Blue Ridge Guides, a handwritten clerk’s copy of veterans of the Civil War and a number of new family genealogies. Also, the Front Royal-Warren County Community Band will present a free public concert at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center Amphitheater at 8 p.m. July 3. The concert, the fifth and last in the band’s Summer Concert Series, will feature an array of patriotic songs plus selections of blues and jazz numbers.

If any one is interested in joining the band contact director John Russel, 703-636-9432, or Ed Richards, 703636-5339. In case of rain the concert will take place in the Randolph-Macon gymnasium. Street from Mrs. Eagle’s blue house with gingerbread trim at the comer of Gay and Wheeler streets. Mrs. Eagle said the house was designed for three bedrooms, but that she was planning for only one bedroom for her daughter and son-in-law, who are artists. The other two bedrooms were to be used as studios, she said. Mrs. Eagle said she had bought the lot with her house on it in 1978, and she bought the lot with the shed in 1979 for $3,500 with the idea of putting a guest house on it. Mrs. Frizzell asked Mrs. Eagle if she realized she had bought a nonconforming lot when she purchased it in 1979. “It never came up,” Mrs. Eagle answered. She said when she rebuilt her house she left a connection on the septic system for an additional line to be added to serve a bathroom on the other lot. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing Mrs. Eagle said that denying her a variance to build a house would present her with a “hardship approaching confiscation.” He said the house Mrs. Eagle proposed to build would be “harmonious with the overall character of the town.” He had real estate agent Alex Sharp as an “expert witness,” who said if Mrs. Eagle got her variance, the property would be worth about $15,000. However, if she did not get a variance to build a house, the property would be worth between $500 and $1,000, Mr. Sharp said. Diane Bruce, who owns the Rabbit Gum property across the end of Gay Street from the shed lot, opposed granting the variance. She said she did not object to the house being proposed but felt it was “an inappropriate location.” She said the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance require that the town government “prevent congestion on the public streets and protect against undue density of population. This small house on this teeny tiny loi would create undue density.” She said now Gay and Wheeled streets end at the corner, but thejj are stub streets which might one day be extended making the comer dan-! gerous. ' “I’d like to see the shed de-l stroyed or cleaned up,” she said' “My tennants tell me copperheads come in and out.” She said the lot is appraised at $11,000 and that other lots in town too small to build houses on are alsq appraised at $10,000 to $15,000j “There are uses for the property, other than a residence. To say that a house is the best use; that’s the most profitable use, not the best use,” she said. Town attorney Frank Reynolds advised the board members that they could grant or deny the varif ance or grant a partial variance. The only things Mrs. Eagle could do with the lot without a variance would be to rebuild the shed or tear it down I “The structure is non-conforming, and the structure to be built is nonconforming,” he said. “The use is a permitted use, but it is a more initense use. There is no question that a house is more intense than a snake shed.” He considered that for a while and then added, “I guess a snake shed could be pretty intense.’" Four members supported Mr} Eldred’s motion to deny the variance because a hardship had not been shown. Mrs. Young abstained. | The next day Mrs. Eagle asked County Administrator John McCarthy, who acts as the town’s agent in zoning matters, if she could build an artists’ studio on the lot. He advised her she would have to go back to thfc town’s BZA. So it appears it will not be another six years before the BZA considers its next application. Wakefield Continued from page A-1 “If I had a million dollars, the school wouldn’t be in debt, would it?” she said. She said that when referring to the “grand larceny” of Wakefield at a meeting of the Wakefield Parents Association, she did not mean Mr. Miller was the alleged thief. “Mr. Miller, of all the people my statement could have referred to, was the least likely,” she said. “I was referring to whoever’s holding the deed,” said Pamela Lynn. She did not know who that was, she said. “In whose possession the thing is now, I wouldn't have a clue.” Mr. Bassett, who holds the deed, said, “My understanding from a number of people at that meeting is that she called both of us thieves. That is what I have heard and needless to say I am not amused by this.” With the passing of the Tuesday deadline, it appears likely the school will be the focus of even more litigation. Pamela Lynn said the “board has refused to mediate” the dispute and gave the family “a totally unacceptable ultimatum and said after that they would have further legal action.” “It’s been patently obvious since January that they don’t want me in the school. They have been trying various means” to remove her since then, she said. Pamela Lynn sued Mr. Miller, Mr. Bassett, Mr. Hopewell and the entire Board of Directors in May, trying to regain control of the school. She dropped the suit a week later, then was served with Mr. Mincer’s libel suit. Mr. Miller said he has not received a response to the suit from Pamela Lynn or her attorney. Pamela Lynn and her late husband, Dr. William Lynn Jr., founded Wakefield 19 years ago on land owned by Clydetta Lynn on U.S. 522 in Huntly. Following Dr. Lynn’s sudden death two years ago Pamela Lynn was acting headmistress. Mr* Bassett and Mr. Miller helped her set up the Educo Trust and the Board of Directors to try to relieve Clydetta Lynn’s finanical liability and to conform with rules of the Virginia Association of Independent Schools. Pamela Lynn hand-picked the board and was named vice president for curriculum. The board stripped her of that title in January, setting off the current controversy. With the trust holding a deed to the property, and with Pamela Lynn and the board in conflict, Pamela Lynn announced three weeks ago Clydetta Lynn was evicting tl^e school and she would start a new school on the same site. I Mr. Hopewell has said he and tlfe board intend to “vigorously defend” their right to the property. With the eviction date July 1, they are expected to act soon. ’ Mr. Hopewell reportedly fell 51 Monday and could not be reached for comment. Mr. Bassett was also unavailable to comment this week. ! Shedding Light On tuc 01 ini/in n ri nr is 11 if- uui ii 111 iu Lluli i I DUC MHiTi C Nlh N I IU tut 11-1IUI I When you come home and your electronic clock is blinking, it can be a great inconvenience. You may not realize, however, that your clock is probably reacting to a phenomenon known as the "momentary outage"—which actually helps prevent greater inconvenience. Although momentary outages have always been a part of your power system's service, you may be more aware of them today because of modern appliances' sensitivity to even the slightest variation in power supply. Just a second's interruption is enough to make them blink. Momentary outages can be annoying, but they serve a valuable purpose. They help temporarily break the circuit when a problem occurs, such as when tree branches brush against electric lines. The momentary interruption allows the problem to clear, and the overall power supply is not subjected to major damage. This helps prevent longer outages. For many years, these beneficial momentary outages went completely unnoticed by most customers. But today's high tech appliances just don't miss a beat. They frequently react to a dip in the power that lasts only one second or so. To help eliminate this inconvenience, many home electronics now available offer built-in batteries. If a short interruption occurs, the battery takes over and keeps your device in operation. You may wish to ask for this feature when you shop for new home electronics. In the meantime, Potomac Edison will be working to detect problems in our system as quickly as possible and keep momentary interruptions to a minimum.

Agency provides legal help Rappahannock Legal Sewices fills void More than 80 percent of low-income Virginians needing legal help are not getting the services they need, according to an attorney survey released last May by the Virginia State Bar. Culpeper’s two representatives on the state bar’s pro bono Steering Committee, John J. Davies, III and Jere M. H. Willis, III, met on June 19 with Sarah Jane Jones, the Virginia State Bar pro bono coordinator, and Elizabeth van Wambeck, pro bono coordinator for Rappahannock Legal Services, to determine how the private bar can help improve delivery of legal services to indigent residents of Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. In 1990, the Culpeper office of Rappahannock Legal Services handled over 1,200 civil cases for clients whose incomes were at or below 125 percent of the federally defined poverty line — $15,875 annually for a four-person household. Their legal problems ranged from difficulties with child support collection and domestic violence, to substandard housing and homelessness, to job and consumer disputes, to access to LCRAY ELECTRONICS TV-VCR-STEREO REPAIRS * TECHS - SPECIALIZED -rgest, Best Equipped Shop Around.

However, shrinking federal, state and local budgets have prevented legal aid from reaching more than a small fraction of those needing its help. The Virginia State Bar Council has urged every Virginia lawyer to donate 2 percent of his or her professional time to performing services for low-income clients “pro bono publico,” that is, “for the public good.” Rappahannock Legal Services presently has pro bono panels in place in each of the five counties of PD-9 consisting of local attorneys willing to volunteer their time to handle legal aid’s case overflow. The participants at the Culpeper meeting set as a goal having every attorney in PD-9 volunteer for the Rappahannock Legal Services pro bono program by the end of the year. If every attorney in the area accepted just one pro bono referral, service to low-income families could be expanded by more than 150 cases per year. Currently, 59 attorneys in PD-9 serve on the pro bono panel of Rappahannock Legal Services, many of them taking three or four referrals each year. Those donating their time are eligible to receive state tax credits through the Neighborhood Assistance Act equal to 50 percent of their donated hours times an hourly rate which will be increased to $100 per hour effective July 1. County Garden Club installs slate of officers: The annual business meeting of the Rappahannock Garden Club was held on June 19 at the Luray Inn.

CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Tanya Richey’s upcoming show at Middle Street Gallery in Washington began four years ago. 1 Opening July 4, the 20-piece show — mixed medium on various surfaces — brings about a whole new realm of artistic expression for Mrs. Richey. Moving from still life and watercolor scenes, MrsV Richey moves into symbols and myths in acrylic, oils and metallic ink on papyrus and masonite board and canvas. Not only has the surface Changed, the medium has changed and the meaning has deepened. “These are symbols of my own personal thought,” she said, waving her arm around her own Windflower Fine Arts Gallery workroom in Washington. In other rooms, Mrs. Richey’s work brings to life places, familiar and unfamiliar. The show pieces bring symbols — both real and personal, like a painted deer skull or a horseshoe crab shell — to life. “These are things people may not relate to,” she said with a smile, adding for an artist this is a giant stef! forward. v “This is jumping over the edge and opening up and letting people really see you,” she said, adding not only are the 20 pieces representive of her symbols and experience, they are her own myths and feelings. “It’s thinking about your life and telling a story?" that’s the ‘gateway into the myth,’ ” she said. The first room shows a series of 10 pieces on papyrus. ' “I got the papyrus in Egypt,” the artist said, adding for this reason she feels the show began in 1987. “I wanted to do something with the paper but, I did' not want to paint someone elses symbols,” she said. Over the years, her own symbols materialized. With detailed lines of gold and black, pyramids and sacred cats with haunting eyes and birds and images, Mrs. Richey moves from using familiar primary symbols to personal and story symbols. As each piece progresses, it moves to a more personal angle. “The gateway to her own personal myth” exhibits Mrs. Richey’s ability to express herself on various mediums, using various techniques and materials. “This is just the gateway,” she said, adding the next show will extend deeper into her own myth. “You never know when it all will come about,” she* said with a smile. . Pieces range in price from $125 to $1,500. A limited edition print of “Ciaro Cat” is available. Windflower to hold show for Peruvian Windflower Fine Arts Gallery in Washington is presenting its first one-person show, opening July 3. “This is the first time for a show here,” Tanya ' Richey, gallery director said. Opening the two back rooms for the show, the gallery will present Francisco Grippa of Peru. Mr. Grippa’s one-man show exhibits paintings from the Amazon Period 1990-1991. “We met and found we were both very interested in painting on various surfaces,” Mrs. Richey said, adding his work is bold, strong and colorful. The huge canvases are splashed with brillant colors and images. The artist was bom in Tumbes, Peru in 1942. The gallery is located in the Clopton House on Main Street in Washington. Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. M II i m* What graduation means to Rappahannock niir By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Grandson Douglas Stone Kilpatrick was graduated from Rappahannock County High School on June 15. Let me mark the occasion with apologies to high school graduates everywhere. My own generation has left them a legacy for which we ought to be ashamed. No one said much about the legacy Saturday morning. Let met get back to it in a moment. You should know that Rappahannock County (pop. 6,093) is located in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, up in the northwest part of the commonwealth. My wife and I lived there for 24 years before we moved to Charleston, S.C., a year ago. Maybe one has to live in Rappahannock County to love it, for many of the amenities of civilization are missing. No shopping malls, no cable TV, no traffic lights, no air pollution, no crime to speak of, no serious problem with drugs. The mountain streams run clean and clear. The county is still divided along the lines of the natives and the outlanders. Native Rappahannockers tend to raise cattle and to look after orchards; many of them work in Culpeper. Outlanders and weekenders are mostly retired couples from Washington, D.C. It’s a quiet life. Saturday’s graduating class of 74 included a dozen young people with familiar names: Atkins, Aylor, Baldwin, Dodson, Estes, Hitt, Jenkins — they have been here for generations. At the stroke of 10 o’clock they filed into the gymnasium, self-conscious in their flapping black gowns, their mortar boards at precarious angles. Mrs. Melinda Russell played “Pomp and Circumstance” on the school’s organ. It was hot. Somewhere in the bleachers a baby was crying. Pamela Peyton, one of the graduates, gave the invocation. Hers was a simple prayer for parents, teachers and fellow students. Among the other amenities of civilization missing from Rappahannock County is a chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. No one had brought suit to prevent Pam from praying in public. This is country living. The class salutatorian spoke, the choir sang and the band played, and valedictorian Diana Hudson did a commendable job. A faculty member delivered a commencement address. Then we applauded the winners of scholarships and prizes from the Lions Club, the Farm Bureau, the Rappahannock Women’s Club, the Extension Homemakers, the Garden Club and the Amissville Ruritans. After some further remarks, the seniors filed by to get their diplomas, and it was all over by noon. I suppose it has been this way everywhere over the past couple of weeks. Perspiration, “Pomp and Circumstance,” forgettable speeches, a good deal of hugging and posing for pictures. Graduation Day is a big day when you’re 18 — bigger, I expect, more important, more universal than graduation from college. Watching these young people, I felt waves of uncharacteristic gloom. What legacy have we left to Douglas and the others? They will live halfway through the 21st century. It will be their task to clean up the awful mess that my own generation has made of this planet. We have ravaged the forests, fouled the coastal waters, failed to control the drug problem and let our great cities yield to social rot. Ours is the wealthiest nation on Earth, and we cannot provide affordable medical care. Douglas got a surprisingly good education, considering the shortcoming of a rural county. In the fall he will go on to Clarkson University in New York, fairly well-equipped to study higher mathematics and space engineering. But my grandson will be heavily taxed to retire some part of the mountainous debt his irresponsible grandparents have piled up. There is another side. Douglas also will inherit a written Constitution that protects his liberties. He inherits a supple and beautiful common language that will benefit him around the world. He has loving and interesting parents who have supported him all the way. He has a nice sense of the absurd. After a year’s absence, this expatriate found Rappahannock unchanged. The farmers had a fine first cutting of hay. The deer population grows. Grape and apple prospects look excellent. Clifton Clark died a few months ago. He raised foxhounds. One of the Fannon girls got married. The churches are making big plans for the Fourth of July. On Sunday afternoon a thunderstorm blew in. The sky turned the color of a bad bruise, but it was only *shower. This was a pity, for this summer the farmers need rain. In Rappahannock County they generally do.

Legalized wagering okayed in Loudoun * a ^ By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer The steeplechase meet at Morven Park this fall might well be teeming with a new kind of activity. Spectators’ eyes will dart back and forth between the tote board and horses in the stretch, should the Virginia Racing Commission accept the first application for legalized wagering. “All the indications are favorably disposed to granting a license (to conduct pari-mutuel wagering) to Morven Park. By July 1, we intend to give (Morven Park race organizers) some kind of solid indication to go ahead and do it,” said Donald Price, executive secretary of the Virginia Racing Commission. He said after the commission meeting last week that the license would be contingent upon such factors as background checks on all owners, trainers, jockeys, officials and grooms and clarifying the issue of medication. Should the VRC accept the application that the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation submitted April 17, spectators at Morven Park would be able to bet on their favorite horses via one of the 40 sell-cash terminals that would offer daily double, win-place-show and exaeta wagering. “There is also an excellent chance that we will simulcast the Breeders Cup that day,” said Dr. Joseph M. Rogers, director of the Morven Park meet, referring to the $250,000 steeplechase race at Fair Hill, Md., also held on Oct. 12. Organizers of the Morven Park Steeplechase Meet met with the Vir ginia Racing Commission June 19 to review details of the application. Present at the meeting were John Shenefield, chairman of the VRC, and VRC board members Arthur W. Arundel, Audrey Dixon, Fred Pollard and Leonard M. “Bucky” Walters. Representing the Morven Park races were director Rogers, and organizers J. Hamilton Lambert, the retired county executive of Fairfax County; Edward A. Maurer Jr., the executive director of the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation Inc., and William J. McDonald, the guiding light behind the successful operations of the Shenandoah Downs race track. “I feel they made a superb presentation and feel that the commission did give them a green light at the end of the conference," said Arundel, a board member and a horseman. During the meeting, Shenefield asked the Morven Park race organizers to clarify specific issues left unresolved at previous meetings. He asked, for example, if all paperwork had been completed designating Rogers as the official spokesman for the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation, which it had been. Ip addition, Shenefield was assured that all background checks (by the State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation) of the Westmoreland Davis trustees, save one, were in the process of being conducted. “I was generally favorably inclined toward their application,” said Shenefield. “I thought they had done their homework. I was personally impressed with their presentation that filled in a lot of the blanks that their initial presentation had left.” The Morven Park organizers brought in experts to explain technical aspects of the race meet, from the operation of the tote board to security measures planned. Steve Groat, manager of the Fair Hill Steeplechase Races in Fair Hill, Md., was on hand to discuss how pari-mutuel wagering is conducted at his race meet. He reviewed such operational procedures as the start of a race, the location of sell-cash terminals, and the dimensions of paddock-to-barn throughways. He added that the photo-finish apparatus Morven Park planned to use, Jones Precision Photo Finish Inc., was the most highly regarded in the industry. The next and most important step — the commission’s acceptance of the application — takes place in July. “Don Price and Bill Anderson, our two staff people, and the group from Morven Park will have a sort of continuing relationship over the next couple of months during which time such things as security concerns and the like will be ironed out,” said Shenefield. “I would expect the commission to be in a position to vote on the application at its next meeting July 24.” The Westmoreland Memorial Foundation is privately operated and incorporated under Virginia law, and the one-day race meet it sponsors is predominantly a volunteer effort. Art show in Warrentorfc runs through July 31 Art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to view the work of area artists as the Fauquier Artist Alliance will host a summer show July 3 through July 31, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily and from 1 p.m.-5 p.m. Sundays at 71 Main St., Warrenton.

Who ever heard of riding a horse backward?? Someone should advise her to face forward if she expects to reach her destination. Yet, how many of us make the same mistake as we journey through our lives. . looking backward instead of forward. We may lose sight of our goals, if we are blinded by the fear of repetition of past hurts and regrets. Face the future without fear, trusting in God. Psalms 37:23-24 assures us saying, "the steps of a man are established by the Lord;. . . when he falls, he shall not be hurled headlong because the Lord is the One who holds his hand." Make your decision to face forward with trust, not backward with fear, as you praise God this week in your chosen house of worship. Gopyiighl 1991 Ke.sler W.ll.ams Newspaper Services. P 0 Bo« 8005.

Do we still love ice cream? You betcha. By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Does America still love the taste of ice cream? With retail ice cream sales topping $9 billion annually, there is no doubt America’s love affair with ice cream is stronger than ever. Is ice cream still a popular dessert choice? As the country prepares to celebrate National Ice Cream Month in July, this frozen concoction remains the number one dessert in the U.S. — scooped up by more than 98 percent of the households in the country. Why is ice cream so popular? As a nutritious snack, it’s unbeatable. A cup and a half of ice cream provides one-third of a person’s daily calcium requirement. And an average scoop of ice cream contains only 135 calories; the same as a banana. Is ice cream an economical choice? According to the American Dairy Council, ice cream contributes to a healthy economy, employing approximately 20,000 people at an an HOME ECONOMICS nual payroll of more than $400 million. How can you celebrate ice cream month? You don’t have to ask. Just enjoy ice cream in a cone, a cup, or on top of your favorite pie — and not just in July, but throughout the year. Types of ice cream products There are many ice cream prod ucts on the market that are labeled according to the amount of milk fat they contain. Here’s some information about the oldtime favorites, plus some newer varieties. Ice cream has milk fat and milk solids as its main ingredients. Depending on state laws, the milk fat content can vary between 10 percent and 20 percent; it has to contain a minimum of 10 percent to be legally labeled an ice cream. The more popular and widely distributed brands contain the highest amount of milk fat. Calorie content of ice cream varies between 125 and 165 per halfcup serving. Ice milk is prepared from the same ingredients as ice cream but has less milk fat (usually between 2 percent and 7 percent). Ice milk often has more sugar than ice cream, and its consistency is usually softer. The calorie content is about 100 per half-cup serving. Most soft-serve frozen dessert is ice milk; it’s taken directly from the freezer and not allowed to harden.

K-* 613 FROST AVE., j JgWARRENTON, VIRGINIA j Wf- Monday thru Saturday: 8 a.m.-IO p.m. and 9 a.m.-9 p.m Sherbet is a frozen dessert having only about 1 percent to 2 percent milk fat and 2 percent to 5 percent milk solids. Typically, it is made up of a dairy ingredient, fruit or fruit juice, water, flavorings, and sweeteners. Sherbet usually has more sugar than ice cream; it’s also more sensitive to changes in texture if stored at the wrong temperature and kept too long. Frozen yogurt is made with yogurt, skimmed milk, fruit or flavorings, and sweetener. Its consistency is similar to soft-serve frozen dessert and is low in milk fat. It has less sugar and usually less calories than ice milk. Frozen tofu varies significantly depending on the ingredients. Some frozen tofu is a natural product; it’s made with tofu (bean curd), soy milk, and a natural sweetener such as honey. It doesn’t contain dairy products, so it has little or no cholesterol. The number of calories will fluctuate according to the ingredients used. You can choose from many flavors, such as chocolate, pineapple-coconut, amaretto, and maple walnut. , Sorbet is French sherbet. In France, it’s often served as a palate refresher or cleanser before the main course in a special meal; in the U.S. it’s eaten as a frozen dessert. Sorbet doesn’t contain dairy products or egg yolks. It gets its fine texture from adding egg whites and can be made with fruits or vegetables. Fruit ice is also nondairy. It is made from water, sugar, and fruit juice and often has a tart fruit flavor. The following recipe for homemade ice cream is a basic recipe that can be flavored several ways.

Fire, rescue need volunteers More trained first responders are needed in Rappahannock County to give immediate emergency medical services (EMS) to victims of accidents or sudden illnesses. Statistics show that prompt and proper EMS saves lives. To prepare first responders for EMS, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Service Council offers a 60-hour course. For more details, call 703-825-6849. Often, people who are first to reach a victim are not trained sufficiently to give correct emergency care or assistance. In contrast, a first responder is qualified to take charge of an emergency situation until the rescue squads with emergency medical technicians arrive. First responders can also continue assisting when there are multiple casualties. In rural areas, it sometimes requires more than six minutes for a rescue squad to arrive. During this critical time period, first responders are qualified to initiate lifesaving procedures such as: airway and respiratory intervention; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; bleeding control; special wound care such as head, chest, and abdominal wounds; stabilization of spinal injuries; and splinting of fractures. Being a first responder requires fast thinking and action to stabilize or to improve a victim’s condition. First responders are part of a highly trained group dedicated to saving lives. Effort to restore falcon includes Shenandoah As part of national cooperative effort to restore the peregrine falcon to parts of its former range throughout the United States, Shenandoah National Park will provide release sites for peregrine falcons this spring and summer. The cooperative efforts of personnel between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the College of William and Mary, and the Shenandoah National Park have resulted in the successful release of thirteen falcons in the last two years. In this the third and last year of the release program, twelve falcons will be released from two sites in the park.

Royal Plaza Shopping Center Front Royal, Va. 636-2441 The objective of this cooperative project is to restore the peregrine falcon as a viable breeding species in its former eastern range through release of captive bred peregrine falcons. Historically, peregrine falcons were last reported to dwell in Shenandoah National Park in the early 1950s when most eastern peregrine falcon populations were decimated, by both natural and man-caused forces. Superintendent Bill Wade states, “The successful restoration of this majestic avian species in Shenandoah National Park will be a tribute to the hardiness of the falcon and the dedicated efforts of all agencies and personnel involved in the recovery of this species. Park biologists will continue to participate in the release of the peregrine falcon to help ensure its return to its former range. leanna Durham joins Arcom Arundel Newspapers announced recently the appointment of Jeanna Durham as Director of Printing Sales and Marketing.

Wilder-Sen Robb feud By JOHN GOOLRICK * /‘Wildergate,” “Robb and hoods” or whatever you might want to call it, still totally dominates Virginia politics as of this writing and there is more certainly to come. Yet despite the swirl of grand jury activity and continuing revelations in this drama, I feel compelled to back off and take a brief look at some of the other recent happenings that have some influence on the politics of our state. Though all have been subordinated to the Robb-Wilder business, the ruling of federal Judge Jackson Kiser favoring the all-male admissions policy of Virginia Military Institute was prime time news all over the nation. Judge Kiser said VMI was a unique institution that marched to the beat of a different drummer. The admission of any woman as a cadet, he ruled, would immediately change the character of the place and it would no longer be the special military academy it has been for 152 years. The ruling, predictably, evoked glee from VMI alumni and many others who support its current status, and howls of outrage from feminist groups who argue that tax dollars should not be used for discriminatory purposes. The U.S. Department of Justice, which brought the suit against VMI, is likely to appeal the decision and there is a considerable body of legal opinion that the school is destined to lose somewhere along the line at the aDDellate level. The issue will be settled by the time the 1993 gubernatorial election rolls around and yet no matter how it goes, the case could leave some political problems for Mary Sue Terry. As the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for governor next time around, Ms. Terry may be called upon to explain the substantial amount of waffling she did on the issue in her role as attorney general. First she said she would have no trouble defending VMI’s all-male policy but then changed her mind, caving in to the protests of liberal elements within her party. Potential challengers to Ms. Terry will be able to cite this and other examples as evidence that the lady hardly qualifies as a profile in political courage. For state Democrats understandly worried that the RobbWilder fiasco may undermine their fragile unity of recent years, good news came when a key fiscal officer said there might even be a small surplus in the state budget at the end of the fiscal year. That reflected both some brightening of Virginia’s economic picture and the budgetary restraints imposed by Gov. Wilder and the Democratic majority in the General Assembly. , Yet the surplus, if any, will be small and the budget erisis will remain as a political issue this fall when all 140 seats in the legislature are up for election. Republicans, who are challenging a House of Delegates redistricting plan in court, are gearing up to run as many candidates as possible in hope of making further inroads. And for Democrats, there may be another ticking time bomb out there that will eventually blow up in their faces. Old Dominion Politics The U.S._ Supreme Court recently ruled against the state of Georgia ip a suit a distiller brought to recover $2.4 million in taxes it said it had illegally been made to pay. Though the ruling had no specific application to a suit brought by Fed, eral retirees in Virginia seeking restitution of some $400 million in taxes already decided unconstitutionally levied on them, the ruling gave no comfort to Virginia officials fighting such a huge refund. In fact, legal experts say the highest court in the land has consistently been sending a message that people who have a valid claim that they were illegally taxed are due refunds. In a Florida case last year, the court said, “The state’s interest in financial stability does not justify a refusal to provide relief.” Since the aforementioned Ms. The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Sennce” Phone 825-2361 Culpeper CEMETERY MEMORIALS Terry has already been faulted for not sufficiently warning about the possible consequences of an adverse Supreme Court ruling on the tax matter, should Virginia be made to ante up the $400 million-plus interest to some 200,000 federal retirees another fiscal crisis may result. That is particularly true since the state has put aside no funds for such a contingency. An adverse ruling of that nature could give Republicans even more of a chance in 1993 to brand Virginia Democrats, who have both controlled the executive and legislative branches of government for nearly 10 years, as the party of fiscal irresponsibility. Add to this mix a growing revolt among taxpayers at the local level of Virginia government, and you have issues that will play a big part in state politics the next few years, though the battle between Robb and Wilder has cast a huge shadow over everything else involving the state political scene in recent weeks.
