Democrat to oppose Miller By SHARON KILPATRICK Raivahannock Newt Staff Writer ' Margaret Haynes was expected to announce Wednesday that she is seeking the Democratic Party nomination to oppose Sen. Kevin Miller, R-Harrisonburg, for the 26th State Senate seat. Ms. Haynes is a legislative aide to Congressman Jim Olin, the Democratic representative from the 6th District. She runs Rep. Olin’s Harrisonburg office. Ms. Haynes was expected to appear Wednesday in Washington at 11:30 a.m. and in Warrenton at 12:30 p.m., after press deadlines. The 26th District includes Rappahannock County except for Stonewall-Hawthom District* the precincts of Catlett, Marshall, Morrisville, Opal, Remington, Warrenton and Waterloo in Fauquier County, all of Harrisonburg, Page and Culpeper counties, and parts of Rockingham and Stafford counties. Ms. Haynes, 45, is married to Dr. John Wood, a history professor at James Madison University. They have an 18-year-old son who is a college student. Ms. Haynes has been active in Democratic Party politics for over 10 years. She is active in the Harrisburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and on the Board of Directors of the Rockingham -Heritage Bank. She was recognized as Woman of the Year by the Harrisonburg Working Women’s Forum this past February. Ms. Haynes said the primary issue of the campaign would be “that the people are not being effectively represented. The imcumbent is not coming into the communities and listening to what the people want.” She said Sen. Miller’s vote in favor of locating a prison in Culpeper County is an example. “He did not vote the way his constituents wanted,” she added. She said there are other exSee MILLER, p.

PAYNE, p.A-5 ‘■■f.W . ■ ..mSL _ By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne will decide who owns the buildings and grounds of Wakefield School following a hearing that starts in Leesburg at 1 p. m. Aug. 20. The “suit to quiet title,” which will determine whether Clydetta Lynn or the Educo Trust owns the property, has been moved up on the docket so that the issue can be decided before the start of the coming academic year. A series of conference calls between Judge Home and the various lawyers in the case resulted in the new schedule. The suit to quiet title will be decided before the other lawsuits and issues in the case are heard in court, and the result of the suit to quiet title will probably have bearing on the other disputed elements of the controversy. Clydetta Lynn signed a deed of gift of the school’s buildings and land over to the Educo Trust two years ago, a deed that was never recorded by the trust’s officers, Warrenton lawyers William Bassett and Robert Miller. Clydetta Lynn attempted to evict the school and retract the gift in May after her daughter-in-law, school cofounder Pamela Lynn, announced her plans to start a new school on the same site. The court will have to decide if that deed of gift constitutes actual conveyance of the property, or if three conditions (an IRS tax opinion on the transfer, the banks’ approval and county rezoning) were prerequisites to the actual gift. Judge Home issued a temporary injunction against the eviction during the last week' in June, an injunction that would have expired Aug. 15. However, with the suit to quiet title now set for Aug. 20, attorneys on both sides have agreed to extend the injunction until then, according to Sperryville lawyer David Konick, who represents William A. Beeton Jr., named in one of the several lawsuits the dispute has spawned. Mr. Konick was set to argue on Wednesday morning, July 31, in Leesburg, that Mr. Beeton should be taken off the suit to quiet title. That hearing was scheduled after press deadlines. Between now and Aug. 20 the various parties in the suit to quiet title are scheduled for depositions in lawyers’ offices. Clydetta Lynn’s deposition was to take place July 30. Other issues include a charge of criminal conspiracy against Mr. Beeton and Clydetta and Pamela Lynn leveled s: by tha, .Wakefield Board of Directors, a request by ttoe board that the judge prohibit the three fromlnterfering with teacher and parent contracts and a $1 million libel suit filed against Pamela Lynn by Mr. Miller. She allegedly used the term “grand larceny” in reference to Miller’s actions on behalf of the school during a meeting of the Wakefield Parents’ Association meeting in May. Also this week, Konick confirmed that the board has made the combined monthly payment of approximately $9,000 to Clydetta Lynn and to the banks holding notes secured by the Lynns. Setback questions arise in zoning debate By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals this week granted a variance from front and side setback requirements for a house Elizabeth Smith has already built. Mrs. Smith’s house, on a long right-of-way outside Flint Hill, is in a conservation zone. The house was supposed to be built at least 100 feet from any property lines. On one side it is less than 50 feet from a neighboring property. On another side it is about 75 feet. Three neighboring properties are involved. Mrs. Smith said she needs to sell her house and move to be able to afford nursing home care for her mother. She said she had a contract to sell the house that depended on receiving the variance. By the time of the BZA meeting last Wednesday, Mrs. Smith had arranged to buy extra land from one neighbor. Another neighbor’s property was involved in an estate, she said, and the executors did not want to sell although she had offered to buy land at the rate of $3,500 per acre. She said she understood a lawyer had advised them that the land was worth $5,000 per acre. “I wouldn’t have paid it,” she said. “They have chosen not to do anything. I don’t believe it matters to them.” The third property owner, Elsie Dodson, was at the hearing with several of her relatives. She said she did not want to sell any of her land, but she wanted Mrs. Smith to build a fence on the property line to clearly mark where one property ends and the other begins. Mrs. Smith said she did not know there were any setback requirements. She said she had not seen the building permit, which clearly indicated that the house should be 100 feet from property lines, and that her builder did not inform her of the setback requirements. When the BZA first voted on the application the See SETBACKS, p. A-3 Students fare well in tests Scores top average By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The state released results of standardized testing and of the sixth-grade literacy passport tests for public school students last week, and Rappahannock’s students did fairly well. In the standardized testing, Rappahannock’s students were at or above state averages for all but the three sets of results reported for first graders and llth-grade science. The state’s results are consistently above the national average, which should be 50 percent, but which is probably 51 percent, because these tests have not been re-normed since 1986. Compared to surrounding counties, Rappahannock students also did well on the tests, scoring higher with a few exceptions. Fauquier students scored higher in first and 11th grade and in fourth-grade science. Madison students had a higher verbal score for first grade, and Warren students had higher scores in first-grade quantitative and fourth-grade science. The scores of Rappahannock students were at or above those from Culpeper and Page counties in all measures reported. Results for social studies were also released, but are not included in the table.

Miller Continued from page A-1 amples of tax and local planning votes, but mainly she wants to talk to the voters and let them define the issues. She promised if elected to hold regular office hours and hold town meetings in each locality in the district. She said that the budget and funding for education will continue as major problems for the state, but that it is not possible to predict all the situations the General Assembly will face. “No one could have predicted this budget shortfall four years ago,” she said. “I’m for holding the line on taxes,” she said. “People are having a hard time day to day. We don’t w'ant to make it more difficult for Virginians.” She said ways would have to be found to make educational funding more fair for people in rural counties. “There will be some sort of good solution,” she said. “Raising taxes is not the only way to come up with more money for education.” Ms. Haynes said she did not believe the General Assembly should ask the localities to pick up more of the cost of the constitutional officers. “It would be difficult for the localities to plunk something else in their laps they would have to pay for,” she said. She said she would want to learn how the voters feel before taking a stand on local income taxes. “Taxes are certainly an issue," she said. “Everybody is feeling the crunch. We need to sit down and get past partisan politics. If we’re going to continue to provide the services, we have to decide how we can afford it,” she added. Ms. Haynes said she expects to take a leave of absence from her job from mid-September until the election to devote all of her time to the campaign. Sen. Miller is planning a vigorous campaign for reelection for his third term representing the district. ! Sen. Miller said his fund-raising has been successful, and he has more money on hand than he has had before at this stage of a campaign. He has been visiting Stafford County to meet new voters whojhave been added to his district. 1 He sees “statewide fiscal responsibility” as the primary issue of the campaign. “We' need to get a little more order in budgetary planning,” he said. He added that he hoped he would be put on the Finance Committee. With several state senators retiring, Sen. Miller believes there will be at least six vacancies on the committee. He said he, as a certified public accountant, should be appointed to the committee. Sen. Miller believes another issue of the campaign will be “the botched job the Democratic Party did with redistricting.” He said he had promised to try to get all of Fauquier into one senate district and introduced a bill to accomplish that but it was killed by the Privileges and Elections Committee. Sen. Miller believes the major issue for the General Assembly in the next four years will be working with the budget. “The budget doesn’t look like it will rebound,” he said. “It will be just as tough in 1992 as it was in 1991, and the governor has already raided all the cookie jars.” He said the issue of disparity in educational funding “will add to the frustration. The governor and secretary of education have made promises. The governor has hinted at a tax increase. I don’t have any solution. The money is not going to be there.” On the issue of shifting more of the responsibility for paying for the Management Roofing Services Inc.

If the state reduces its share of the funding, there have got to be changes in the law so localities will have more sources of funding.” He suggested particularly that counties should be allowed to pass meals and lodging taxes without a referendum — as cities and towns can. “Counties need to be put on an equal basis with cities,” he said. As to the possibility of a local income tax, Sen. Miller said there is talk about that every year, but there never seems to be support for it. “With the economy the way it is, we need to expand the economic environment so businesses make more money and pay more state taxes,” he said. Sen. Miller, 60, is married and has two grown children. He served in the House of Delegates for three years, and in 1982 he lost a close race to Rep. Jim Olin for the Sixth District seat in the U.S. Congress. In 1983 he won his seat in the Virginia Senate, and he was reelected in 1987. “I’m going to run all-out until Election Day and see what the voters decide,” he said. *" Surplus produce taken by church A county-wide collection of garden vegetables and fruits will be held on Sunday, Aug. 4.

Frances Foster has 18 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan years of experience as Rappahannock County Treasurer. No opposition faces treasurer in her election for a 6th term 1 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer " Frances Foster is looking forward to another four years as the County’s treasurer. ~ She was the first county official to fully qualify as a candidate for election this November, and so far she has no opposition. “I hope no one runs,” she said. “I’d like to thank the citizens for allowing me to be their treasurer and hope they think I’ve done a good job and will give me their support for another four-year term.” Mrs. Foster has been the Treasurer for 18 years. She was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Robert L. “Jock” Brown in March, 1973. From 1962 until 1973 she had served as his deputy. « After graduating from high School and before starting in the Treasurer’s Office, Mrs. Foster forked for T.C. Lea Sr. in his store, which was also an insurance agency. Z She handled the records of the Agency and when there was time ftlso worked the store counter. Later she worked for J.J. Newberry in Front Royal. She answered an ad for the deputy treasurer’s position. 1 She has seen the workload increase since she started in the office. When she was hired she knew most of the people who paid taxes. Now often the bills are mailed out and taxes are paid by mail, and she never sees the taxpayer. At one time she ran the office by herself for three months. Now she and deputy Willie Cloud usually stay busy, and at certain times during the year she has an additional clerk. The part-time clerk works during the time when real estate and personal property taxes are being paid, when county automobile stickers are due and at the end of June and the beginning of July when the county finishes out the fiscal year and the books are closed. For her $35,000 salary Mrs. Foster is responsible for handling all the county’s money. Her signature is on all the checks, and she has to make the decisions on how the county’s funds are invested. She regularly checks with Rappahannock National and Farmers and Merchants banks to find the best interest rates. Usually she finds Rappahannock National’s rates are as good or better, and she invests funds there because it is right across the street. She said during busy times she sometimes deposits money six times a day. Mrs. Foster said laws detailing how she must handle funds are in several different parts of the state code. She is responsible for knowing all the sections that concern how she handles money, and she attends annual meetings for county treasurers that keep her up-to-date. She said this year has been unusually hard for taxpayers and payment is slow coming in. Several people are out of jobs and having to pay their bills over time in regular payments. They also have to pay a 10 percent interest charge. “I will work with people if they have problems,” she said. The major change in her office came when the bills were switched to computer. Now the records are sent to Richmond and the bills are printed by computer there. The county is planning to put her office and that of Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins on a computer locally. Mrs. Foster believes that is coming in the next year or two. cIhe ‘BCeu Rpctijlnn 9{ozv Open for Lunch (Mondays & ‘Tuesdays 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. uiy tjucvucrw 3.00 ‘Tossed Milted Qreens with, herb vinaigrette 325 Mouse-Smofyd Local Trout with lentils vinaigrtttt 4.95 Chicken Salad ‘Pommery with avocado and apptes 525 ‘3Uu ’UpcfCBurger on a homemade multi-seed roll 5.50 v.

Mrs. Foster also serves as treasurer of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. She is an active member of the Washington Baptist Church. She takes regular exercise classes and each year she walks in the Fodderstack 10-K Race. Her husband Warren is retired from the Virginia Department of Transportation. “I like working with people, and I like Rappahannock,” Mrs. Foster said, explaining why she wants to continue as Treasurer.

However, Rappahannock’s results were better than those in the five surrounding counties. The state also released results from the separate tests that were a part of the literacy passport. A higher percentage of Rappahannock students passed the reading and mathematics test than in any of the surrounding counties, but Rappahannock had the lowest percentage passing the writing test. In reading, 85.3 percent of Rappahannock students passed, compared to 80.7 percent for Culpeper, 81.5 percent for Fauquier, 75.6 percent for Madison, 76 percent for Page, and 73.9 percent for Warren. In writing 83.6 percent of Rappahannock students passed, compared X) 85 percent for Culpeper, 89.3 percent for Fauquier, 88.6 percent for Madison, 90 percent for Page and 36.7 percent for Warren. For math the results were 92.1 percent for Rappahannock, 73.6 percent for Culpeper, 86.6 percent for Fauquier, 85.5 percent for Madison, 90.1 percent for Page, and 78.8 percent for Warren. Setbacks Continued from page A-1 members split with Alex Sharp and Sid Gottlieb voting in favor of the variance and Chariman L.G. “Butch” Zindel and Jennifer Matthews voting against it. In the fall of 1989 the BZA faced a similar application for a variance for a house that had already been built for Sally Nash. In that case the builder said he did not know that setback requirements in conservation zones were greater than the 50 foot setback required in agricultural zones. The BZA granted that variance and then recommended that the zoning ordinance be changed to require that a drawing be submitted for a WE’LL COME DOWN IF YOU’LL COME DOWN APPLE VALLEY fe ISUZU/VOLKSWAGEN Three miles south ot the 1-81 • Rt.

The Mass Meetings will also consider and act upon any other business than may properly come before the Mass Meeting. building permit that would show that the owner or builder was aware of the required setbacks and would comply. When Mrs. Matthews learned that the amendment had been added to the ordinance after the builder applied for Mrs. Smith’s building permit, she changed her vote and the variance passed on a 3-1 vote, with Mr. Zindel voting against it. The variance is conditioned on Mrs. Smith acquiring additional land from the one neighbor and building a fence between her property and Mrs. Dodson’s. At the Planning Commission meeting earlier this month Mr. Gottlieb and Mr. Zindel asked the planners for suggestions on how such applications could be avoided. “We have a situation where a law has been broken,” Mr. Gottlieb said. “A law that is not enforced is worse than no law at all.” At that meeting the planners agreed to consider requiring a wall check as part of the building permit process, with the owner being responsible for getting a surveyor to do it. County Administrator John McCarthy noted that people are not going to like a requirement that will add $200 to $300 to the cost of building a house. At last week’s meeting the BZA also considered amending the family apartment portion of the zoning ordinance to restrict the apartment to 1,200 square feet, including storage space. The BZA decided not to recommend any change yet, and Mr. Zindel said he would offer language that would make it clear when attic or crawl space would count as storage space. Mr. Zindel also said he was not happy with allowing 1,200 square feet, since that is the size of an average house.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau Editorial Budget meetings In this space during the past month we have twice discussed the threats to the state’s Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation — particularly the attempts by Richmond lawmakers to hold closeddoor budget meetings despite their illegality. Last week in Richmond, Judge Randall G. Johnson threw out a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union that attacked a Feb. 20 budget meeting presided over by Virginia Senate Finance Committee Chairman Hunter Andrews, D-Hampton. When reporters from papers in Lynchburg and Newport News tried to enter the conference room they were physically .barred at the door by Sen. Andrews. The judge ruled that the fact that the reporters couldn’t see behind doorman Andrews — and therefore testify that yes, there was a meeting inside — that he could not be certain any such meeting ever took place. A man of Sen. Andrews’ integrity and position should not be allowed to hide behind a legal technicality, especially when it concerns a violation of the very laws he is sworn to uphold. Was there a meeting inside those walls, Sen. Andrews? The people of Virginia deserve your response. The second issue, the legality of a Dec. 28 meeting at a secluded Chesterfield County hunting lodge, is still alive. Judge Johnson said court last w^ekt. “I’U tell you right now, you can’t convince me the ‘meeting’ was a social gathering,” according to a report in Virginia’s Press, the newspapers of the Virginia Press Association. He will be determining if the meeting was formal or just a bunch of senators getting together to play cards a few weeks before the 1991 session began. I Obviously it was not a social gathering. Dividing up Virginia’s tax revenues at the lodge meeting were the most powerful men in Richmond: state senators Andrews, Benjamin Lambert III, Dudley J. Emick, Clive L. Duvall II, Joseph B. Gartlan Jr., Elmo Cross Jr., Stanley C. Walker, Richard J. Holland and Howard P. Anderson. Judge Johnson gave the ACLU and Common Cause 14 days to file a brief outlining their opinions of the lodge meeting, and the Attorney General’s Office will have seven days in which to respond. Hopefully Judge Johnson will rule in favor of greater openess and public accountability, clearing the way for the taxpayers of Virginia to see exactly how their money is being divided. There is every likelihood, however, that instead he will decide that the “informal” tone of the hunting lodge summit exempts it from FOI legislation. There is no longer any reason for state budget decisions to be made in smoke-filled rooms (or hunting lodges). Perhaps next General Assembly session they won’t be. .

Letter to the Editor Appreciates Col. Knuepfer To the Editor: On July 18 a truck from Whitehurst Paving jackknifed on Route 640 and spilled approximately 800 gallons of water-based liquid asphalt by a small stream. The situation could have been catastrophic to Dr. Thomas Liverman’s lake had it not been for the rapid reaction of the Sheriffs Office in notifying Col. Dieter Knuepfer, our local emergency coordinator. Col. Knuepfer is a volunteer, like many in Rappahannock County, with the knowledge and professionalism to ensure that the clean-up operation was done properly. The clean-up operation was conducted by the OHM Corp. under the direction of Bill Crumpler, environmental safety officer for Whitehurst Paving. However, the continuous presence of Col. Knuepfer added the necessary emphasis to make sure that the job was completed properly and to the county’s satisfaction. I would like to thank Col. Knuepfer, on behalf of all Jackson District residents, for his professionalism and for a job well done. COL. ELLIS D.

The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO July 29, 1971 The Annual Board Meeting of Virginia Jaycee Chapters was held in Bristol during the weekend. Those from the Rappahannock Chapter attending included Wilson Burke and Dean Hahn of Sperryville, local president and state director, respectively and Bobby Welch of Huntly who is Membership Chairman. The main speaker for the convention was Ronald G.S. Au of Hawaii who is the National President of the Jaycees. 15 YEARS AGO July 29, 1976 The meeting on the proposed alternative sewage disposal systems for the town of Sperryville, originally scheduled for 8 P-m, on July 30 at the Sperryville fire house, has been cancelled. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke explained that there is no need to hold the meeting until after the August 5 meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. At that time, the Superviors will either endorse or reject a Water and Sewer Authority resolution requiring mandatory hook-ups to the proposed Sperryville system. Luke said that without the Supervisor’s endorsement, there would be no Sperryille sewer project at this time, and therefore no need for Friday’s meeting. If the Supervisors endorse the resolution, the meeting will be rescheduled. 10 YEARS AGO July 30, 1981 Donald B. Gore, assistant resident engineer at the Dillwyn residency, has been transferred to a similar post at Warrenton, according to the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. He succeeds J. 0. Fitzgerald who recently retired after 35 years with the department. Everette Kline is the new forester for Rappahannock County, replacing Lyt Wood who resigned earlier this summer. Redistricting aimsi to represent blacks By JOHN GOOLRICK About 19 percent of Virginia’s population is black, according to the Bureau of the Census, a fact that along with political considerations lies at the heart of Virginia General Assembly redistricting efforts of 1991. The federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, broadened in 1984, doesn’t care a whit whether Democrats screw Republicans or Republicans screw Democrats in the reapportionment process, but clearly mandates the U.S. Department of Justice ensures, insofar as possible, the equitable treatment of minorities. There are those who wonder why Virginia is still one of the states strictly policed by Justice for past transgressions when the black governor it elected is the only one ever elected in the nation in modem times. But that is another issue. Two weeks ago the Justice Department rejected a proposed House of Delegates redistricting plan, practically ordering the legislature to create a new black-majority district in the Richmond area. Meeting a few days later in special session the Assembly meekly complied, though it had alreaded boosted from nine to 11 the number of black majority seats in the 100-member House. Presumably, with 12 black majority districts, a dozen blacks will be elected and comprise 12 percent of the membership of the General Assembly, still 7 percent less than their total numbers in the state. Yet the fact it is possible to create 12 such districts that are reasonably compact - though a few are a bit serpentine - speaks volumes about the continuation of heavily segregated housing patterns in the Old Dominion and elsewhere. If racially mixed housing were prevalent it wouldn’t be possible to map out just a fraction of that dozen. There are 816,000 people in Fairfax County and just 61,000 blacks; 215,000 in Prince William County and 20,000 blacks; 30,864 in Buchanan County and 22 blacks; 2,622 in Highland County and only four blacks. By contrast, 104,166 of Norfolk’s 264,718 residents are black* 117,874 of Richmond’s 201,166 are black, 56,346 of Newport News’ population of 168,118 are blacks. For differing reasons, such demographics didn’t escape the attention of the NAACP, ACLU or the Virginia Republican Party. The first two groups have historically devoted themselves to securing for minorities more political clout in proportion to their numbers. Republicans decided racial justice could be combined with an instinct for political survival and conquest. After Democrats again won the governorship in 1989, Republicans were up the proverbial creek and almost without a paddle as 1991 redistricting approached. A GOP governor could have provided a safety net from a Democratic-controlled legislature determined to do a gerrymandering hatchet job on Republicans. But left without the threat of a veto, apprehensive Republicans had to find other self-defense tools. Though the Republican State Central Committee had passed a resolution pledging the party would Old Dominion Politics not use provisions of the Voting Rights Act to help create black inajority districts, the party’s legislative caucus ignored that pledge and created an organization called FAIR, standing for Fair and Impartial Redistricting. ' It joined the ACLU and NA^CP in asking the Justice Department to reject the House plan because it didn’t contain enough black-majohty districts, and is also challenging Ijoth House and State Senate plans in federal court on grounds they represent blatant gerrymandering. ! While the latter is undoubtedly true - the House plan lumps l(j incumbent Republicans together irf various districts - no redistricling plan has ever been tossed out hy a federal court because it shafts a particular political party. Meanwhile, those who created FAIR are elated. The vast majority of blacks cast their votes for Democrats, which means new black-Qiajority districts will be sending Democrats to Richmond. But it also means that other Democrats wilf be running in districts that are lar^fely white and won’t have the benefjp of black votes they’ve counted on irrthe P&st. wv Republicans expect to do wett in those districts and, perhaps, fljso pick up even more votes from conservative and moderate Democrats if the influx of black legislators pushes the state party leftward^ as can be expected. " As strategy, it is hard to see Ijpw it can be faulted. With FAIR, Republicans have taken lemons 2nd made lemonade. Three or four elections down the line the success ofthe strategy will be obvious. • Even so, there are a number of Republicans and pundits who tlfink that by engaging in what a RJchmond paper called “racial gerrymandering,” the state GOP has betraved its philosophy. Echoing sentiments of some Republicans, a Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial charged, “So these Republicans would have the party forfeit its principled cfium of opposition to all govemnfent schemes that divide American^ on the basis of skin color or ethnic identity, and instead they would make the GOP the party of the New Segregation.” | , The bottom line, though, is {hat with or without Republican participation the Voting Rights Act, the Department of Justice and federal courts will insist on minority districts in Virginia and other southern states so long as it is possible to Create them, which it obviously is. * The way we do redistricting may not be completely fair, but FAIR alone probably can’t do a lotj to change it. ■ (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to U.S. Rep.

Now they send a letter saying when they’re coming, and we work with them for two or three weeks. They don’t count the cash anymore. They are looking at policies and procedures, more than auditing books. We have to have policies on paper for everything. Years ago we didn’t have a policy book. Ours were unwritten policies.” She said that “on the whole” she had enjoyed her work at the bank, “but there were good days and bad days.” One major difference now is that the work is never done, she said. “We used to finish early and sit and wait for three o’clock so we could go home.” Until 1983 there were no numbered accounts at the bank. The cashiers could look at the signatures on checks and know which account to debit. There was no problem cashing checks locally, but store clerks in the Northern Virginia malls were beginning to look askance at checks with no account numbers. “When we went to the computer, I thought the community accepted it more readily than I thought they might,” Mrs. Payne said. “We had few complaints.” One of the newer laws the bank has to comply with is the Community Reinvestment Act, she explained. The bank has to show it is responding to needs in the community. “We kept our fees low all these years and felt that was a service to the community,” she said. “I don’t know of another bank without lots of service charges. Our community will have to expect more of that in the future. Some banks make more on fees than on interest.” The bank also never paid interest on checking accounts, but that has not made much difference, she said. “Our deposits have remained pretty steady.” For awhile during the 70s people were moving money in search of higher interest rates, she said; “People were changing CDs, taking penalties for early withdrawals to get extra interest,” she added. “We have financed a lot of Rap pahannock real estate over th< years,” she said. “We didn’t have th< requirements that a lot of banks did Our directors are better appraiser than a lot of licensed appraisers ou there, but now we have to have pro fessional appraisers. Now the sarru rules apply to us that apply to th< Chase Manhattan. We would like t< have more real estate loans.” With many banks being merget into larger and larger banking orga nizations, Mrs. Payne hopes Rappa hannock National can survive as ai independent local bank. “If we have to merge, we’ll los< all local control,” she said. “Our air is to survive as a little independen bank.” As she looks back on her time in the bank, Mrs. Payne says, “My life was made more pleasant over the years by having good people to work with and for.” Nevertheless, she feels the best part of retirement will be “not having to come in in the morning.” ' Former director of the bank James W. Fletcher Jr. said, “I have 1 known Mary Miller since she first went to work for the bank. She trained under Jack Miller and made i steady progress. She became the chief officer and was the backbone of ; the bank for many years. Whenever 1 anybody had a question, she was t right on it.

Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Judge Jonathan May, left, examines sheep entries of Mary Beth Williams, second from left, and Greg Williams, at Farm Show. Farm Show results show dedication pays off By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County residents young and old art bringing home ribbons of all colors from the 34th annua Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show held Iasi weekend at Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises. With categories such as homebaked fudge, pounc cake, jellies and jams, photography, sewing, charcoa prints, farm-fattened pigs, groomed lambs, brushec cattle and goats, the Farm Show offered county resi dents competition, excitement and enjoyment. One of the youngest to enter the show this yeai was 5-year-old Bobbie Jo Brown. The daughter of Robert and Sarah Brown, Bobbie Jo entered an open class with a Christmas tree ornament. “We had a clothespin and some cloth for its dress and some black yam for its hair,” she said of her entry. “I wrote a face on it with a pencil,” she added, saying the hair was later glued to the doll. The pre-schooler also entered a paperweight. Both entries brought home awards. Entering with her sister and bringing home a blue ribbon for her handmade skirt, Amanda Brown, 10, entered several categories, ranging from homebaked fudge to bullentin boards, handmade bracelets, wreaths, ornaments, placemats and her own pound cake. Comforting the summer blahs, Amanda and her mother chose the categories at random from the Farm Show booklet. “We had to thin the list,” Sarah Brown said with laughter, adding her daughter had chosen many more than she could enter. Wood Show features work of craftsmen The current exhibition at the Middle Street Gallery is The Wood Show, featuring some local artists and craftsmen. The opening reception is will be held 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, and will be followed by a slide lecture at the Washington Town Hall, admission $5. Some of the local artists are: Gallery member and president Maggi Morris of Castleton, with some of her fine wood animal sculptures. Paul Reisler of the musical group Trapezoid has entered two beautiful examples of his fine, handmade dulcimers. Patrick O’Meara, 16, of Sperryville, has been working with a lathe for one year and has entered one of his bowls. Several local woodworkers are showing fine quality furniture, cabinets, creative chairs and tables, and many fine art pieces. „ Other local participants are: Phillip Strange ofViewtown, Bob Lucking of Woodville, James Fort of Madison, Sam Dwyer of Sperryville, Jon Brandon of Warrenton, Charles Coombs of Castleton, Fred McGann and Scott Hendrix of Waynesboro and Ed Luebke of Washington. Wallace Gunsler, director of conservation for the Williamsburg Foundation, will judge the works selected, along with presenting the slide show after the opening reception. Mr. Gusler, a sculptor himself, offers workshops on carving and is a nationally renowed lecturer and writer. The slide lecture will contain a few tidbits from each of his lecture subjects on furniture, sculpture, carving, regional varities of Virginia furniture along with comments on various pieces in the show at Middle Street. The Wood Show was an idea created by cabinetmaker Mark Pace to have an exhibition that showcased the woodworking talent in this area. Artists who worked with wood were interested in joining forces with craftsman to explore the functional and expressive medium of wood. The exhibition is being curated by Mark Pace and Gallery members Dan Lewis and Janet Kerig. The Gallery hours are Friday-Sunday, 11 a. m.-6 p.m. For more information, or to reserve seats at the slide show, call 675-3440. Photo for the Rappahannock News by Carl Ebum Alice Pullen of Flint Hill with her awardwinning dahlia. She won best-in-show in the horticulture division. The photographer, Carl Eburn of Sperry ville, won bestof-show for another, color, shot. Many of the category items were completed just in time for delivery to the show. This year, the entries paid off for young Amanda. She won two blue ribbons, three red ribbons, a yellow for her braclet, sixth for her ornament as well as fourth for the pound cake. Ryan Oyster, 11-year-old son of Evelyn and Jim Oyster of Castleton, entered the show with his pet sheep, Spot, for the first time. “I was a little bit nervous,” he said, adding he has cared for his pet since it was purchased in early May. Since then he has feed, watered, bathed, clipped and played with the young animal. “I didn’t think it would be this much work,” he said of his responsiblity with the animal, adding he would spend several hours a day with the animal and is quite attached to it now. He ended up with fifth place for yearling ewe lambs. A member of the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club, Ryan plans to keep his pet after the show, though many will sell their prize-winning animals. Tiny Melissa Dixon, 9-year-old daughter of Cathy Dixon of Viewtown, entered for the first time as a 4H’er. “Oh, I’ll do this next year, too,” she said rubbing a heifer’s face. Melissa took home a first in pure bred simmentals, first in sembrah heifers and second in pure bred simmentals steers as well as champion in simmental heifers. “I’m glad I don’t have to sell this off,” she said, adding that over the months of caring for the animals she has grown quite attached to them. Mary Beth Williams, 12-year-old daughter of Tommy and Bonnie Williams of Flint Hill, has learned not to get too attached to the young lambs. Her first show ended in tears as one of her animals was led to the auction block. “I cried and ran to the bathroom,” she said. The lamb was saved and now produces prize winning lambs herself. Showing in pre-4-H shows, Mary Beth has entered several years and has spent hours preparing for the shows. “Every year, I say I am not going to do it one more time,” she said, but as the early deadline for entries arrives, she finds herself in line again. This year, Mary Beth took home third for beef steers, third in showmanship for lamb and first and third place for market lambs — as w'ell as ribbons for her sewing entries. Mary Beth’s brother, Greg, 16, finds the show both educational and time-consuming. His experience payed off this year as he collected a first for beef steer, second for beef steer, second in market lamb and seventh in market lambs shows. “I really like it,” he admitted, saying sometimes the three-to-four hours a day required to care for the steers and lambs he enters is a bit much. “I’ve been here for six years,” he said, adding in that time he has collected quite a few ribbons. “It’s a great experience — you learn a little, have fun and get a bit of money.” Scottie Updike, 12-year-old son of Randall and Toni Updike of Washington, is a familiar face at the Farm Show. He has been active for several years, and besides his ribbons from the local show, his steer and sheep have won statewide recognition. “I can’t say how many I’ve won,” he said with shyness. “I have a trophy case and a wall full of ribbions.” This year he took home fifth in showmanship for sheep, second in market lamb show, fifth for market lamb show, first place in hog show and a grand champion market hog as well as first in junior showmanship for setter and a second and third place for steers. “I really like it,” he said, adding while preparing for and attending the show is “too much work. It’s a good opportunity.” This year, joining Scotty at the show were his brother, 10-year-old Justin, and his sister, 8-year-old Katie. Katie entered 4-H Cloverbuds and won two participation ribbons for her sewing and photography. Justin took his sheep to victory with grand cham- w pion showmanship ribbon. “I’m glad when it’s all over,” he said with a smile, adding that he’s always ready to get re-involved in the winter with the January weighing of steers. “It’s a little bit of work,” he admitted of his several hours a day preparation for the show. “Actually, it’s a lot of work.” His hours of work were quite successful, as he took home more awards than any contestant from Rappahannock. uuoviii wuu ou[jiciuc icuiiu, &u|Ji tJinc ewe, urst place lamb and ram, first place ewe and lamb, third place market lamb, second place market lamb, reserve champion market lamb, second place market hog, second place market hog, champion Angus Steer, Champion British Cross, Reserve Grand Champion Exotic Steer, Reserve Grand Champion Steer and third for beef showmanship. For some the work is part of the fun. Rappahannock Elementary secretary Martha Kidwell has been involved with the farm show for 10 years. Her daughters, Jane and Sherri, have participated many times and this year were entered in adult categories. This year Mrs. Kidwell even got her son-in-law, Andrew Pratt, to enter. “Andrew entered many categories of photography,” she said, adding his entries encluded seascapes, animals, sunsets, actions shots and several others. He entered 11 or 12 categories in all, she said, adding that while in the past she has entered more dosmestic items, like quilting, canning and jellies, this year she entered the photography category, as well as a few garden plants. While Mrs. Kidwell has entered canned goods several years, it’s the first time for her mother, Betty Harrison of Viewtown, to enter. “I had to coax a little,” Mrs. Kidwell said, adding her mother has preseved foods for years and this is the first time she has entered any in a show. “It’s a great family activity,” she said with pride. And the family took home the awards. Jane Kidwell Pratt took home the best-of-show for a hand-designed T-shirt while Martha Kidwell took a blue for canned tomatoes, a red ribbon for grape jelly, blue for muffins, blue for drawf marigolds, blue for single marigolds, red for single petunia and blue for herbs. George Kidwell won a blue for white potatoes and a red for action photography. Andrew Pratt won a blue for a black and white photo, a blue for a color shot of a sunset and a blue for a still life. Betty Harrison won a blue for her jam, red for chow chow, blue for her jelly and red for her canned green beans. Other Ideal winners were: Brenda Lawrence, red for bar cookies, blue for oatmeal cookies, red for bread, blue for photography; Carl Ebum, blue for black and white photography, blue for color photography, blue for color still life (also best in show); Julia Dodson, blue for yeast bread, blue for gladiolas; Katherine Riley, blue for quilt; Alice Pullen, blue for dahlia (also best in the show), red for tomatoes, red for cucumbers and red for pound cake and chocolate chip cookies; and Alice Lawrence, blue for chocolate chip cookies. Other winners were Doris Donald, blue for canned beans, red for quilt; Marie Riedel, red for muffins. “The show is something you really need to start and think about a year in advance,” Mrs. Kidwell said, adding while this year she is entering tomatoes and jelly, they were made last year with the Farm Show in min<^. “I put them aside with a big note that read ‘Farm Show,’ ” she noted.
