Government at a glance • The Washington Town Council "me^ts at 7:30 p.m. March 11 in the Rappahannock Courthouse. Agenda items include a public hearing on the Subdivision Ordinance, on the Wallace Critzer Estate's subdivision application, on L. Diane . Bruce's subdivision application, on the Rappahannock Recreational League's subdivision application and on the Historic District Ordinance. • The Rappahannock School Board meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, in the Rappahannock Elementary library. Agenda items include the 1992-93 school budget. Schools' '93 budget: $4.8 million County's portion rises 11 percent By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer For School Superintendent David Gangel the major challenge in developing the $4.8 million budget he presented to the School Board Tuesday night was deciding on the expected enrollment to use in building the budget. The current budget was based on an average daily membership (ADM) of 945. On Tuesday the enrollment was 1,000. The school system will be able to apply to Richmond for more funds because • the county is picking up more than its required cost for education. The budget for next year is based on an enrollment of 1,010. It includes a request for $2.7 million from the county. That is the minimum the county would have to pay to fund a budget of 1,010, but it is also an increase of $261,000 (or 10.6 percent) over the amount the county is spending this year on public education. The main reason that much more is required of the local government is the increase in the Local Composite Index (LCI), the state’s estimate of the county’s ability to fund education, which rose from .63 to .699. That change means that the county government is expected to fund nearly 70 percent of the state’s estimates of required spending, rather than about 63 percent. If the budget is passed as presented and the county again has enrollment over the projected ADM the school system will not be able to apply to Richmond for more funding next year because the local government will not be meeting its share of the larger enrollment. The public will have an opportunity to respond to the budget next Tpeeday at the SchoolB<ttrd£j*g*. lar meeting. ^ The budget shows an increase of $15,600 in state funds over the current budget. It also shows an increase of $79,300 in federal funds. There is a decrease of $10,300 in “other funds,” chiefly because the estimate for sales tax income is lower than projections in previous years. The total budget shows an inSee SCHOOL BUDGET, p. A-2 Rappahannock News Staff PhohvCindy Mahan Mrs. Massie's children attended public schools.

During an interview at her Ben Venue home r; : { last week, she addressed 1 some of the issues facing the board today, j taxpayers granted relief By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Elderly or totally disabled homeowners with incomes below $12,500 per year and assets other than their house and one acre of less than $75,000 will not have to pay real estate taxes this year. The Board of Supervisors approved the tax relief ordinance at their meeting Monday night. The supervisors had originally advertised a plan to also reduce, but not eliminate, taxes for those with incomes of up to $20,000. At last month’s meeting they decided not to act on that ordinance, but to instead readvertise the more restrictive plan that passed. . Only one citizen spoke at the public hearing on the ordinance. Coleen Glascock supported the proposal saying she was representing her mother who would qualify for the tax relief and was trying to hold onto a home that had been in the family since 1905. Hampton District representative Mike Massie noted that most other counties had some form of tax relief for the elderly. He said he had talked with several constituents and “It is something the people want.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham agreed saying, “It’s a move in the right direction.” He noted that the supervisors could enact more comprehensive tax relief at a later date. Col. Bingham’s motion to approve the tax relief passed unanimously. Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins, whose office will administer the tax relief program, said she See SUPERVISORS, p. A-3 Town planners pass 3 requests for subdivisions By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town of Washington’s Planning Commission approved three requests for aub&viaiona at last Thursday’s meeting and also voted to approve a revision of the Historic District Ordinance and send it on to the Town Council. The first subdivision was for the Rappahannock Citizens League. It creates one lot of 1.46 acres within the town and another lot of 2.45 acres partly within the town, but mostly outside town. Both lots front on the Fodderstack Road. The second subdivision is for land in the Wallace Critzer Estate property on Warren Avenue. It also creates two lots each that contain an existing house. One is .5 acres and the other is 1.48 acres.

The program will include a video titled “Sulfates and Haze” that will be shown on the library’s new video projector. Rolf Gubler, air quality monitoring specialist for Shenandoah National Park, will answer questions following the video. An air quality monitoring program has been in effect for more than 10 years in seven national parks across the nation, including Shenandoah. Now data has been evaluated to determine the air quality problem, its sources and recommendations to deal with the problem. Other data has been compiled from as early as 1950 indicating that distant views from certain park overlooks has been reduced by over 40 percent. Studies from the other parks show Shenandoah’s air quality to be more polluted than the other parks. In addition to increased haze, the rainfall has become more acidic (ph 4.2, 10 times greater than unpolluted rain). This has an effect on the environment in many ways; mpst pronounced is the elimination or weakening of certain plant species and the native brook trout in the streams. , Rappahannock citizens are associated with the air quality problems of the park through observing the mountains, growing plants dependent on the rain and simply breathing. Community members can learn more about what is being done to correct air quality problems and prevent farther deterioration. The video presentation and Mr. Gubler’s discussion should give the participants a better idea of what individuals can do to help. The program will be held at the new Rappahannock County Library. Next month’s program, entitled "The Natural World of .Greenway," will feature John Trott, an Audubon bird photographer. It will be held April 3. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Sara Laimbeer, riding Courtly Bee, clears the eighth fence in the ladies’ timber race. Blustery point-to-point held By BETSY BURKE ArCom Ncwapapcn Staff Writer Topeador (Henry Wood up) and Captain Nevarre (Bay Cockbum up) were in the iir together over the last fence in the owner-rider timber race at the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Feb. 29, but Mr. Cockbum got to work on hU 7-year-old to get him home by a length at the line. The nearly indomitable Topeador, was prominent throughout the featured race at Thornton Hill Farm in Sperryville, but crossing the last, Captain Nevarre loomed as a danger to the Chilean-bred's three-race streak at Rappahannock. “He's only hunted this year .. . just one or two proper gallops,” said Mr. Cockbura of the winner. "He jumped splendidly. This was his first time out in ’92... a pretty big effort for your first start. ” Owned by Mr. Cockburn’s wife, Chrissy Keys Cockbum, Captain Nevarre was bred in Maryland by M|*. Cockbum. “I bred this horse and still own the mare. He is a halfbrother to [multiple timber winner] Colonel’s Request, so he is bred for this sport.” Mrs. Cockbura said that they sent the gelding to ex-steeplechase jockey-tumed-trainer Barclay Tagg to run on the flat in Maryland in 1987. "Captain did nothing on the fiat but break down [in his tendons]. Knowing of his existing problems, the ground must be pretty good before I will push the horse to run like I did today,” said Mr. Cockbum, noting that the footing at Thornton Hill was nearly perfect, with just enough give in the ground for the runners. It did indeed take some pushing to win the most hotly contested event of the day. Six runners took to , the track to compete over 2Vi miles. Heading the list of starters was three-time Rappahannock winner Topeador. As usual, owner-rider Sh HORSE RACES, p. A-6

Outdoor burning law in effect until May 15 As of the first of March, the 4 p.m. burning law went into effect and will be in effect until May 15. During this time of the year, the increasing winds and warmer temperatures, combined with the lack of green vegetation in the fields and woods, cause the conditions that make forest fires very easy to start. This law states, “It shall be unlawful for any person to set fire to, or to procure another to set fire to, any brush, leaves, grass, debris, or field containing dry grass or other inflammable material capable of spreading fire, located in or within 300 feet of any woodland, brushland, or field containing dry grass or other inflammable material, except between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight.” Remember, even though you wait until 4 p.m. to light the fire and take all possible precautions, you are still responsible and liable for it if it should escape. There are other fire laws in effect all year that need to be observed. In the event of an escaped fire, call the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office at 675-3331. For information about fire laws contact the Department of Forestry at 703-948-5341.

In other police and court news this week: • Doris Elaine Ferguson, 33, of Rixeyville, was charged with possession of marijuana after a traffic stop at 12:10 p.m. March 1, according to Sgt. D.S. Adams of the State Police. Ms. Ferguson was operating a 1983 Chevrolet Chevette on U.S. 211 at the Route 640 intersection when she was pulled over by Trooper S.M. Knick for speeding, said Sgt. Adams. A consent search of the vehicle revealed suspected marijuana. School budget Continued from page A-1 crease of $346,000, or 7.8 percent. Most employees will have their salaries frozen under this budget. The teachers, bus drivers and teachers’ aids will not get the step increases built into their salary scales. However, they will have a 5 percent increase in take-home pay because the school system will be picking up the 5 percent that employees have been contributing to the state retirement system. Dr. Gangel said that to add step increases for employees would cost approximately $52,000, between $46,000 and $47,000 for teachers and about $5,500 for otheremployees. Administrators will have an increase of $1,300 each. That will mean that they receive the same supplement for having masters’ degrees that those teachers who have that degree are receiving. Dr. Gangel said that his budgets have tried to work on different problems with pay scales in different budget years. Compared to neighboring school systems Rappahannock’s administrative pay scales rank generally at the bottom. Also included in the budget is an increase in the amount the school system is contributing for health insurance. The county’s contribution will go from $1,119 to $1,617, an increase of $498. However, the premium for a single subscriber is expected to increase $810 from $2,315 to $3,125. There are five and a half additional positions in the budget. The Spanish teacher will become a fulltime employee. An additional teacher will be hired for fifth grade. There will be an additional full-time special education teacher to work with learning disabled elementary school children. A survey of parent satisfaction with the school system conducted in the fall indicated that parents were generally satisfied. However, the bus system received the most complaints. A committee was formed to find out more about parent concerns. They found that the main concerns were discipline, crowding and the length of bus rides. They also found that most of the discipline problems occurred on crowded buses with long rides. They recommended that the school system attempt to eliminate bus routes with more than 45 students on the buses and rides that were longer than 45 minutes one way. By adding two additional bus routes next year, the school system can reduce from 14 to six the number of buses with more than 45 students assigned and from 11 to two the number of bus routes that are more than 45 minutes one way. The committee is also working on rewriting rules for behavior on the buses. The proposed budget also includes $5,000 for a consultant to explore options for expansion. The budget also includes $15,000 for improvements to the high school septic system, funds for additional phone lines at the schools, and funds to provide showers in the high school locker rooms.

Supervisors Continued from page A-1 would not be able to process applications until sometime in April. The supervisors also learned Monday that both public schools are facing expensive requirements to upgrade their septic systems. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said representatives from the State Water Control Board and the State Health Department had looked at the systems at both schools. He said they had suggested that at the high school the polishing pond is probably leaking. Mr. Chappell said the water going into the polishing pond is already treated, but that the school system would probably fill the pond rather than put in a liner. The water would then go directly from the sand filters to the chlorine contact tank. He said the school might also be required to add a dechlorinator to the system. At the elementary school the permit for the lagoon must be renewed by August 1993. He said the school system would have to apply for a new permit eight months earlier, and the representatives from the SWCB and the Health Department said the school system would probably be required to put in a liner to get a new permit. He said the budget for next year would reflect the changes required for the high school and the following budget would include funds for the liner for the elementary school lagoon. The board also learned that Judge Shore Robertson appointed Henry Hudson, Eileen Day, John Ralph and E. Franklyn Warner to the Equalization Board. They will receive training from the state and begin hearing appeals from the recent reassessment starting in April, County Administrator John McCarthy said. Mr. McCarthy also informed the board that some bills had passed the General Assembly that would help the county hold down expenses at the landfill. The county will be able to close the current landfill cell this fall following EPA guidelines rather than the more stringent state requirements, he said. Also the county may not have to put in a double liner on the cell that will be used after January 1994. A different composition liner may be satisfactory. It will cost somewhat less than the double liner and will allow the new cell to last longer before becoming filled. He said also the county would be allowed to have a “leachate injection system.” The leachate collected at the landfill would be injected back into the landfill and the county would not have to pay to have the leachate pumped and hauled to a sewage treatment plant. Mr. McCarthy said he and Board of Supervisors Chairman Hubert Gilkey and Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes had met with representatives from Page and Warren counties to explore the idea of a regional landfill in Page County.

This Is especially true If the margin between and adjustable and fixed rate mortgage Is at least 2 percentage points. Generally ARMs have a one or three-year starting rate. After this Initial Interval, the lender adjusts the rate periodically to keep It In line with prevailing mortgage Interest rates. To protect buyers during periods of turbulent Interest rates, most ARMs feature a cap on the extent to which the rate can Increase. Among those who may benefit form the lower starting rate of a 3-year ARM are first-time buyers. Their main goal may be to conserve cash during those first years of home ownership. Cash conservation Is among the greatest benefits of an ARM. If there Is anything we can do to help you In the Reid of real estate please stop In at EILEEN M. DAY.

We re here to - If Rappahannock enters into an agreement to participate in a regional landfill the new cell would not be opened, Mr. McCarthy said, but the county is still proceeding with engineering plans for it. Col. Bingham said the county should proceed to get a permit from the state for the cell because it would be able to use that permit as a “bargaining chip” in negotiating on the regional landfill. The supervisors met in executive session with representatives from four engineering firms bidding to apply for permits and design the cell to be opened after January, 1994. They have not accepted any of the bids yet. They agreed to meet again at 7 p.m. Thursday March 19 to consider bids for construction work on the landfill cell to be used from this fall until January 1994, bids for the mapping for the E-911 system, bids for engineering work on the new cell and bids from insurance consultants. The supervisors agreed to make a request at the primary road hearing in Culpeper March 31 to have the four-laning of U.S. 522-211 extended to the Sperryville Exxon station with a separate left turn lane for cars going south on U.S. 522 or Route 231. They took no action on the proposed Sperryville by-pass. Mr. Estes said his constituents were evenly divided between those who favor the by-pass and those who oppose it. He said he estimated the entension of the four-laning would be 300 to 400 yards. “That would be a nice way to end the four-lane,” he said. “It would be less dangerous and more useable to the people in that area.” The supervisors discussed what to do if Fauquier County and Warrenton decide to move from Planning District 9 to Planning District 8, which includes most of the counties in Northern Virginia. Mr. McCarthy suggested Rappahannock and the rest of the counties in PD-9 should consider also going to PD-8. Col. Bingham opposed the idea. “I can’t see one advantage of going with Planning District 8,” he said. The supervisors agreed to ask E.P. Luke, Rappahannock’s citizen representative to PD-9 to come to the April meeting and discuss the situation. In other action the Board of Supervisors: • Agreed to allocate money so Sheriff John Henry Woodward can order two new cars for the department. They also learned that the kitchen at the jail is preparing meals for about $1.50 per meal, as cqmpafced to $3 per meal that the county wasNmying when the meals were prepared by the Hampton Inn. • Approved a special exception for Sally Nash to construct a building to house a “Workspace for Choreographers” on her property near Sperryville. They followed the restrictions recommended by the Planning Commission for the use of the property. BZA tables church's request for a variance The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) tabled for a month considering a request for a variance from the Woodville Baptist Church. At last Wednesday’s meeting the church requested a variance from rear setback requirements to put a 28-by-30-foot addition on to the back of the church. The addition would house additional kitchen space, a nursery and an office. BZA members suggested to church members that they consider an L-shaped addition that would not require a variance. Some of the church members present said they felt that would add to the cost and interfere with parking. Board chairman L.G. “Butch” Zindel pointed out that variances are not issued lightly and should he used for cases when denying them would present a “hardship approaching confiscation.” Church members agreed to return to the March meeting with a better site plan. The BZA adopted a budget for next year that calls for no increase from the present budget. The board also elected officers for the current year. Mr. Zindel will continue as chairman and Sid Gottlieb as representative to the Planning Commission. Jennifer Matthews was elected vice-chairman. Rappahannock Garden Club welcomes its new initiates The Rappahannock County Garden Club marked its 43rd year of organization by welcoming six new members: Carolyn Emerick, Carol Miller, Janet Reed, Mary Revercomb, Betty Smith and Betty Wood. The club recently sponsored a poster contest on environment for the Junior Garden Club and county 4-H members. Fifteen entries were, judged by local artist Laurie Marshall. Top prizes went to Sam Rust, Megan Fairbrother, Chanta Brown and John Mallory. Their posters have been sent to the state contest for further judging. The other 11 entries are on display at the Rappahannock County Library through March 15. At its upcoming March meeting, the club plans a hands-on workshop to advance the fine art of flower arranging for the creation of designs for members’ homes and flower shows. Library sale yields $750 The Rappahannock Public Library book sale did well despite the snowstorm two weeks ago, making more than $750. During the Mothering Cooperative bake sale Saturday almost $100 was raised to support a Libri Foundation grant to buy children’s books.

March 5, 1992 MO Library asks for $40,000 from county By SHARON KILPATRICK RapfMhmnnock Newi Staff Writer The Library Board adopted a budget for the coming year that calls for an increase of nearly $5,000 in the county’s contribution. In the current budget the county paid $24,451 for the library in the original budget and added another $10,000 last month. The $64,700 library budget adopted last Thursday calls for $39,218 from the Board of Supervisors. The budget calls for a modest salary increase for the part-time assistant librarian. Librarian Nikki Lynch would not have a salary increase, but the county would pick up her contribution to the state’s retirement system. Board member John McCarthy said he would use that approach in preparing the county’s budget. Only full-time employees are covered by the retirement system, but paying their 5 percent contribution costs the county less than a 5 percent salary increase because the county does not have to also pay for a Social Security increase, he said. He added that it also leaves the employee with more spending money since the county’s contribution to the retirement system is tax free for the employee. The major increase in the library budget is for electricity $3,600 and heating oil $3,000. The budget includes separate categories for children’s programming $350, adult programming $260 and professional improvement $745. Mrs. Lynch explained that the professional improvement funds would be used for classes in using computers, attending seminars and professional dues. , Mrs. Lynch reported that the book sale had been successful raising nearly $800 and that the separate fundraiser for children’s books had also been very successful raising more than was needed to win the grant from the Libri Foundation. WSA reaffirms billing rules The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) reaffirmed its existing billihg policy at its most recent meeting. WSA written policy has always been to bill property owners directly, rather than tenants, according to board chairman James E. Swindler II. He said that some WSA customers had changed the bills so that they went directly to tenants, creating billing and collection problems for the authority. The WSA’s bylaws state bills will be sent to property owners, he said. Letters are being sent to the small number of customers who had the bills changed over to tenants informing them that only property owners will be billed in the fiiture.

The Audit Bureau Editorial No to notification When our elected officials don’t do what the voters want, we call that arrogant. When they do that which will get them votes in November, we say they are pandering. But our Founding Fathers knew that sometimes people need to “take their medicine,” or we’re left with a sick patient. Look no further than federal spending excesses for an example. In Richmond this week they’re going to decide whether to force young women to tell their parents, indeed, to get their parents’ permission, before having an abortion performed. It’s the kind of law that’s easy to like: everyone ought to hope that children, and we are talking about children, have an open relationship with their parents and can discuss with them something as serious as abortion. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case. By the time a girl needs an abortion, her parents lave often failed in a number of ways, and in many cases her relationship with her parents is in big trouble. It’s a fair bet ;hat most people under the age of 40 know someone who found lerself in those exact circumstances. After 10 years of being killed in Senate committee, an ibortion-permission bill has the best chance of passing the General Assembly ever, according to supporters. - The bill has been introduced and passed by the House of Delegates every year for 10 years but has traditionally died in a Senate committee. The bill died earlier in session, again in a Senate committee, after passage by the House. The bill was revived last Sunday by Sen. Mark Early, R-Chesapeake, in the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. Sen. Early amended an unrelated House bill dealing with juvenile courts by adding the parental consent requirement. The bill was then passed on to the Senate floor. The bill survived a floor maneuver March 2 intended to rerefer the bill to the more hostile Senate Finance Committee. Opponents of the parental consent measure claimed the bill would cost the state between $3.5 million and $5 million in additional welfare payments and court costs. Sen. Janet Howell, D-Fairfax, led the unsuccessful battle to send the bill to the Finance Committee. Sen. Howell, who opposes parental abortion permission, says the bill would result in 25 to 30 percent fewer abortions and would increase the number of teen mothers on state financial assistance rolls. Another likely result is that more Virginia girls seeking abortions will travel across state lines, probably to the District or Maryland, making post-abortion medical care less convenient. In other states, girls have put their own lives in danger by not treating post-abortion infections properly—the doctor’s office was a long way away.

Beginning in FY 1990, we spent more money on disaster relief service than in any other year in our history. In FY 1991 we responded to the needs of disaster victims involved in more than 300 nuyor disasters, the most operations ever serviced in our history. I am proud to say that the Red Cross has met these challenges well, and I intend to keep our focus on maintaining this top priority service of the American Red Cross. Disasters continue at a level of intensity in FY 1992 that exceeds our past historical patterns. Funds have been difficult to raise in that many of the disaster relief operations we are supporting have not captured the attention of the media, thus making it difficult to attract public support for our cause. The typhoon that struck American Samoa has created approximately $150 million in disaster relief needs, substantially higher than earlier estimates. Heavy rains and mud slides in Puerto Rico have added an additional $4.3 million strain on the national disaster relief fund. Combined with earlier disaster operations we are committed to, the projected deficit now stands at $23.4 million. With the spring floods in California and Texas, I fear this deficit may grow even further unless we take aggressive action now to raise disaster relief funds. If you can help please send a check to the Rappahannock-Fauquier Chapter earmarked for the National Disaster Program. The Rappahannock-Fauquier chapter has helped five families who have been burned out of their homes and have given over $3,200 of your money in aid. Thank you for your past generous support and for the support I hope you will give this national plea. URSULA B. BAXLEY Chairman Rappahannock-F auquier Red Cross Marshall Cancer groups are different To the Editor: I believe that some of our citizens who wish to support efforts to help cancer victims and their families have been misled by a recent mail campaign from the “Cancer Fund of America,” which has requested door-to-door campaigners. Although a small print disclaimer negates affiliation with the American Cancer Society, many readers appear to have not noticed and have assumed they were supporting it— even to the point of making out their checks to the American Cancer Society. The latter is already organized into local and neighborhood groups whose funds are expended locally. It will not begin its annual fundraising until April. If you have already given to the Cancer Fund of America, be aware that your contribution may not be distributed locally. You will be hearing soon from the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, whose local activities are well established and can be attested to by many Rappahannock citizens who have been helped. Any questions should be addressed to Carol Miller, president oi our local chapter, or to Michellt North, regional director at the War renton office, with whom we wort closely. WILLIAM YOUNG, M.D for the American Cancer Societj Washington, Va Black historic achievements To the Editor As the month of February, Black History Month, comes to a close, take time to discover or rediscover the following moments in history. Did you know that. . . • One of the greatest civilizations in the history of mankind, the Egyptian culture, was of African descent? • The first Negroes to arrive in America landed at Jamestown, Va. in 1619, approximately one year before the Mayflower? • The first black child bom in America was named William Tucker? • The first man to die for the cause of independence at the Boston Massacre was a black man named Crispus Attucks? • A run-down four-room shack in Daytona Beach, Fla. was changed into a prominent college, BethuneCookman College, for black students by a black woman named Mary McLeod Bethune? • A great scientist from Tuskegee Institute in Alabama found hundreds of uses for the peanut, sweet potato and soybean and was a black man named Dr. George Washington Carver? • The city of Chicago was founded by a fur trader who sought the ideal center for his business and was a black man named Jean Baptiste Pointe Dusable? • The greatest black leader of the Civil War era was a free man named Frederick Douglas? • One of the greatest intellects of his time was a black man named W.E.B. DuBois, who in 1905 established the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? • The first automatic stop signal was invented by a black man named Garret A. Morgan? • One of the greatest abolitionists and women’s rights activists was a black woman named Sojourner Truth? • The first successful heart surgery on a human being was performed in 1893 by a black man named Dr. Daniel Hale Williams? The above is a small sampling of the many acts and accomplishments made by blacks to America and to the world. The list goes on and on. M. NANETTE BUTLER Washington, D.C. (formerly of Sperry ville) Auxiliary money report To the Editor: The Washington Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary made $9,566 from the Thrift Shop and bake sales during the last year. After paying $2,100 on rent for the Thrift Shop building, the Ladies Auxiliary has given the Washington Fire Department new tables and chairs for the hall totaling $2,556, three bay doors for the fire house for $3,000, spent $11,504 on the fire house and $5,252 on the fire truck, making the total $22,313 that was . given to the Fire Department in 1 1991 from the Ladies Auxiliary. We would like to thank everyone who helped to make this possible. FRANCES A. FOSTER r Treasurer Ladies Auxiliary Washington VFD J I Crowding is detrimental To the Editor: I had an opportunity last Saturday to tour the Rappahannock County Elementary School as part of the PTO Spring Conference. I came away with an overwhelming impression of the cramped quarters that teachers, students and staff must contend with every day. I can’t help but imagine the detrimental effect this could have on the quality of their education. The future of Rappahannock County children, so much of which will be shaped by the education they receive in our schools, should matter to all of us—not just to those who have kids in the county’s public school system. Our future will soon be in these children’s hands. None of us can afford to write this off as an issue that doesn’t effect us. Each of us has something to contribute to this discussion. I urge each of you who cares about the future of our county and our country to participate in discussions about how to provide quality education to our county’s children. Someone else said it well, ‘The children are our future” (even if they are somebody else’s kids). ELLEN NEILL-DORE Flint Hill Responds to Clarks' letter To the Editor I am writing in repsonse to the Clarks’ letter and their difficulties with their trail.

If any of our neighbors whose lands we cross are having any difficulties with their trails, please let us know. JENNIFER AND JOHN ALEXANDER Flint Hill The making of a slob By WALTER DAY Not many weeks ago a local phone answering machine delivered this message: “On Friday next there will be a meeting of interested investors to determine the relative values of randomly distributed holdings.” Poker anyone? Something of note about human idiosyncrasies, things that I have discovered about myself. Over the years I have always tried to get a peek at the eye chart before I took the eye exam so that I would get a good grade. When I got home with the new glasses I always complained that they were not strong enough and blamed the doctor. Next time I am going to fail the test one line higher. Reading will be comfortable at last. Another mistake that I have put up with' for years. I have always tried new shoes on my right foot. Over these same years my left foot has always hurt and the toes curl up. Well, you guessed it, my left foot is bigger than my right one and it took 67 years to figure this out. More ridiculous—I love to play golf and every year I honestly believe that I am going to score a better game than previous years. The truth is, of course, that as the body ages the game deteriorates. I play with a younger competitor who preys on this weakness. He encourages me to think this way before we establish the wager. I believe I have been paying for his golf too long. Then he calls me a “duffer.” This hurts my feelings. I got even, he is the one where-in that I first made a “whiff’ look like a practice swing. Duffer implies incompetence, maybe a bit careless, perhaps even a bit of a slob. Anyway I do not like being referred to as a slob, or the like. I was trying to encourage some sympathy from my present consort but she confirmed my worst suspicions. She said I was definitely a slob and immediately furnished a long list to prove it. • When I wash clothes I mix the colors. Well, why not? After a Day By Day while everything matches. • I do not tighten the tops of seltzer bottles and they lose their fizz. Big deal! • I never pick up my clothes. That’s a lie. Besides, I always know where they are. • My tie is always wrinkled. What tie? The list goes on and on, I do not want to think about it. Besides, older mature people should be free to do their thing. That is what my kids always said when they had long hair. I remember that I was in the Marine Corps for about nine years and the Navy for three years and they lived on NEAT. The Marines had these shoes for running through woods and rocks and beaches and snow when you were being shot at. These shoes had the rough leather on the outside and the smooth on the inside. Boss Marines were always making the worker Marines shine these shoes. I didn’t take this seriously and that was a mistake. I couldn’t figure how shiny boondockers could help kill people. Later on I noticed that the guys with the shiniest shoes were the ones who were working with typewriters and reporting casualties and not getting shot at. I got the message and quit. I am really glad I missed Vietnam. That was a mean one. I guess we didn’t shine shoes well enough during that war. If the American Indian had only known and shined their moccasins! McGee’s Law: Put two losers, one at each end of a stadium, and they will find each other in 10 minutes. Glad to see N EA attacked ’o the Editor: I am writing this letter to let Paul] Reisler and the community mow that I applaud the efforts of iny one person or agency in the :leanup or dismantling of the Naional Endowment for the Arts NEA). I am sickened daily by the rejorts of artists and performers who jush pornography and alternative ifestyles with taxpayer funding. I im not accusing Mr. Reisler and the Ki Theatre of being participants in ;his type of behavior, but by reading lis letter he does not define “arts” ind supports the funding decisions if Mr. Frohnmayer, who funded these obscene and disgusting artists. It is as wrong, as Mr. Reisler states, to bail out the crooks from the S&L rip-off as it is to allow the perpetrators of heinous crimes to walk the streets on suspended sentences. At the same time, he expects the taxpaying community to subsidize professional artists against our will. If the art is of such little value that the public is not willing to finance it, then perhaps it is not what the public wants or needs. Then the artists should look at some options of commercializing so they can make it on their own. Other professionals have to adjust themselves to the particular needs of a community by offering their services or talents with their unique personal touch. This is the very essence of the free enterprise system. Thomas Edison once stated, “I will never invent something no one wants again.” In a supply-and-demand society, we pay for what we want; and the artists can charge whatever the market will bear for it. Mr. Reisler wants greater awareness for the arts, then perhaps they should clean-up their act and not wait for complete outrage from the public over funding the perverts that hide behind the arts banner. It is a disservice to great writers and poets like Kipling, Frost, Robert Lewis Stevenson and countless others to compare their timeless works with the offensive acts of some of our modem “artists.” One point I’m sure the other side will try to use is that these grants help keep the cost of the performances and exhibitions affordable to the general public; but if they charged enough to cover all their expenses, they would either market something acceptable or increase the number of shows to make up for it in volume. Then they would have to work a little harder, just like the rest of America when we see hard times. If nonfunding means starving artists, then maybe they should get a regular job and be creative and artistic in their spare time. I would like this letter to be seen as a statement against wasting taxpayers’ money and not as a personal attack against Mr. Reisler or the local artists who reside in this county. As a matter of fact, I like some acoustic-type music such as Mr. Reisler plays and I wish him the best in his profession here in Rappahannock County. . RON FRAZIER Amissville (The writer is chairman of the Rappahannock Republican Committee.—Ed.) Sodas right in Madison To the Editor: I’d like the world to know that within easy driving distance of Sperryville you can: go south on 231, a Scenic Byway, to the drugstore in Madison, on Main Street, and get a “fountain coke,” a real one in a real Coca Cola glass, with ice and a straw for 10<2, that’s TEN CENTS! Everybody who grew up before World War II will find true happiness doing just that. RUTH RICHARDS v Sperryville Agricultural Products To the Editor: Virginia Agricultural Products Week runs March 16-20. Agriculture is recognized as Virginia’s largest and most important industry, annually producing billions of dollars in products and providing jobs and revenue for our state. Virginia agriculture benefits greatly from the national school lunch and breakfast programs in encouraging the consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities by providing affordable meals to our school children. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which administers the Common-, wealth’s food distribution program that supplies commodities for school lunches, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are committed to providing top quality, nutritious agricultural products to the school children of the Commonwealth. The Virginia School Food Service Association plays an important role in helping our state’s schools provide healthy, well-balanced meals for our school children, our state’s greatest asset. JUDITH N. BURKE Food Service Director Rappahannock Schools

Mrs. Massie Continued from page A-1 her tenure the schools have split away from their joint operations agreement with Warren County Public Schools, and Mrs. Massie has sat on the board with 19 other board members during her 20 years. Her involvement with the Rappahannock Public Schools began after her son, James F. Massie Jr., was born in 1957. At that time the county’s schools were smaller institutions scattered around Rappahannock, and the Massies’ local school had been at Forest Grove, a tworoom building. When Forest Grove was slated to be closed, the plan was to bus its students to Sperryville Elementary, quite a distance up the road, especially in those days. She and other parents were able to get the decision changed so that Forest Grove pupils could attend Washington Elementary School, about five miles closer, instead. ner ocnooi ooara representative at the time was Ralph Rowsie of Jackson District. Mr. Rowsie became ill and was not planning to seek another term, so Mrs. Massie agreed to seek the seat at the urging of a group of Jackson District citizens. Her two children are both products of the county’s public schools. James Jr. farms Meadow Grove with his father, and Sarah Massie Cheatwood lives and teaches in Warrenton. In addition to the approximately 170 cows on Meadow Grove, they also sell antiques, but hog and sheep operations there have long since been stopped. In a two-hour interview at her lovely, manicured farmhouse last week, Mrs. Massie discussed some of the topics that the School Board has been facing of late: the middle school expansion proposals, the PRIDE survey on student substance abuse, election of school boards and a range of others subjects. A middle school? A School Board committee to address the need for a third school in the county has endorsed building a middle school, citing an upswing in student enrollment and curricular advantages, among other things. Mrs. Massie said she is “for the purchase of land. I am for looking down the road and keeping a handle on the number of children in our school system.” She said the lack of adequate planning in the past has hurt Rappahannock County. “We as a county have reacted rather than acted in the past. We need to plan as a county.” She said the verdict as to whether the school system truly needs a school is still out, in her mind. “We don’t want to build something just to be building it. Buildings don’t teach children, but they enhance the learning process.” As a member of a farm family, she said, she understands the sentiment against raising taxes to fund a new building. “Rappahannock is a conservative county. We have a lot of retired people here, a lot of people in agriculture,” she said. And the ability-to-pay, as measured by the Virginia State Department of Education, unfairly considers Rappahannock one of the more affluent counties in the state, already putting an unfair burden on local tax dollars to support the public schools here, she argued. “I question the numbers coming out of Richmond, I really do. I guess I’m a Doubting Thomas,” said Mrs. Massie. Adding to the tax burden are a range of state mandates passed in the 1980s, when General Assembly education budgets were growing year after year. “Our school systems are a great deal different than they used to be, we’re required to do so much more,” she said. “I really think the public school systems are doing a good job with special education, and we always need to do more with gifted and talented. . . . [But] I sometimes think our average child gets lost in the shuffle,” she said. The PRIDE survey Mrs. Massie said results of the PRIDE survey, which measured levels of substance abuse among all county public school students, were an eye-opener. “Yes, I was [surprised]. Well, I’ll qualify that. When you look at what’s going on in the whole area, you see there’s going to be fall-out,” she said. Student consumption of alcohol and cigarettes was not news to Mrs. Massie, she said. “I’m concerned certainly about the cocaine, the uppers and downers. It takes a lot of money for these other drugs, and I’m concerned about where that money’s coming from,” she said. Fighting the problem should be done on several levels, she said: “You can have programs, such as DARE [Drug Abuse Resistance Education] and SADD [Students Against Drunk Driving], and tell them what the effects are on the body through P.E. But I think the most important thing is parenting and having a place for the children to turn to.” Discipline problems A survey of parents that was released earlier this school year revealed that a number of them are concerned about the level of consistency shown by building administrators while meting out discipline. Mrs. Massie, however, was upbeat about how the school division has handled disciplinary matters. “I don’t think our discipline problems are any worse than anywhere else, and I imagine they’re less,” she said. But she added that the appearance of a lack of fairness is itself a problem. “It does give me a concern when people think there is inconsistency,” she said. She said in-house suspension, new this year, is a positive change and offers administrators another alternative. The Rappahannock school division would not have been able to afford it except that it received a grant this year. Elected school boards Mrs. Massie said she is not in favor of the General Assembly’s move to allow localities the option of holding direct election of School Board members, even though she hopes to serve another term when her fifth term expires this summer. “My real concern is that I don’t believe school boards and politics will mix,” she said. “I would say I will probably do it again, if they want me to. It’s a part of giving back to the community,” she explained. Faculty assessment The current public school faculty, she said, is the backbone of the school system. “We have a very good group of teachers, and I’m happy to see we could offer them the master’s program through Shenandoah University,” she said. More than 30 teachers have taken advantage of the program. As a board member, she has endorsed increases in health-care benefits and step increases in recent years. “I hope one day we can offer 100 percent for teachers, but a large increase in the cost of premiums means we’re still playing catch-up.” Town plan Continued from page A-1 ing on this application, Charlie Eldred noted that work has been done “recently to improve the appearance of the property.” He added that he thought approval should be subject to removing the remainder of the equipment or screening the equipment yard from public view. Town attorney Frank Reynolds said that a requirement for screening is part of the town’s zoning ordinance and could not be considered as part of the subdivision application. He added that the Planning Commission could send a note to the Town Council along with their recommendation on the subdivision asking the council to consider whether the zoning ordinance is being violated. The planners voted to recommend the subdivision with such a note. The third subdivision request was for property owned by Diane Bruce. Ms. Bruce’s property is also crossed by the town-county boundary. Her subdivision would create a .62-acre parcel in'town behind the Rabbit Gum house at the comer of Gay and Wheeler streets. Another .14 acres would be added to the Rabbit Gum property by a boundary adjustment. This would enlarge this property from about one fourt h of an acre to approximately one third of an acre. The residue of the property would be a parcel of 3.75 acres mostly in the county with a 20-footwide “pipe stem” portion connecting to an extension of Wheeler Street, which would also serve the first parcel. All three applicants submitted proffers that if the properties are further subdivided within four years the further subdivision would have to meet the requirements for a three-lot subdivision. Some changes were made in the proposed Historic District Ordinance as a result of the public hearing. Mr. Reynolds said they would not require that the ordinance be readvertised. Dwight Matthews, a Flint Hill architect who was recently appointed to the Architectural Review Board, made several suggestions derived from historic district ordinances in other Virginia cities that were added to the ordinance. At Mr. Eldred's suggestion the planners added language to the ordi nance saving that "the zoning administrator shall not accept any application as complete until all ap ■ plicable requirements of the zoning, and subdivision ordinances have; been satisfied. ” At Town Council member New-, bill Miller’s suggestion the planners changed the wording slightly to make certain that property owners would not have to apply to the zoning administrator to perform such* minor repairs as replacing window i panes or roof shingles or repainting! a building in the original color. : [ Mr. Miller also complained that 1 the ordinance lacks definite staw > dards and that the planners wen i creating a "design ordinance w here a ! person's taste is what prevails." ] Mr. Reynolds said that the onh « nance could be much more standard , ized. but "ever since the historic! district was first proposed people] have said we don’t want to make the' town a museum. We don't want Wi! i liamsburg or Waterford. We have! mixed architectural styles and we] want to keep it that way.” 1 Planning ('ommission memberi Susan Parrish said, "The more specific you are the more limiting you are.” HOLLAND’S TREAT...

Horse races Continued from page A-1 Henry Wood sent his experienced timber-topper to the lead at the drop of the tape. “Topeador ran and jumped like he always does—very nicely,” said Mr. Wood. “He has only been with Dot [Smithwick, his trainer] for five weeks, so he is still not 100 percent fit. This race sets him up just right for the Blue Ridge races [March 7]/1 was pleased with his effort. . . . Bay came up with a good lick in the closing stages today. ” In thAdosing stages of the race at the sharp right-handed bend entering the stretch, Mr. Cockbum set his mount down to run at the flying leader. At the 16th pole, the two ran as a team, but at the wire it was Captain Nevarre, winner by a length. In the day’s co-feature, five competed in the 21/2-mile ladies timber race. The group was headed by 1991 Foxhunted champion and Feb. 22 Casanova ladies race winner Jill Waterman on Worthy Key. When the field settled into stride, Worthy Key and Oliver’s Tiger (Dawn Dugan up) were at the head of affairs. The order remained unchanged for two miles. But after knocking at the door for two seasons over hurdles, Tom’s War (Ready Snodgrass up) finally entered the winner’s enclosure, topping a tough field over the solid obstacles. “I always said that this horse wanted to go a distance of ground,” said Mrs. Snodgrass. “I broke him [10 years ago] as a yearling. When he went to the flat track as a 2-yearold, I knew he wasn’t suited for it. He wanted to be a ’chaser, running the longer distances.” Mrs. Snodgrass, an Areola native, finished second to Mrs. Waterman (on Nomoniker) last week. At Rappahannock, the tides were turned, as Mrs. Snodgrass stalked the early leaders and kept her mount hugging the inside rail on the righthanded course. Entering the stretch, Oliver’s Tiger (Miss Dugan up) led the tightly bunched field. But Tom’s War quickened a quarter out to lead at the distance. Mrs. Snodgrass drove her mount up the inner and snatched a neck victory. “I won here 25 years ago,” said Mrs. Snodgrass, age 45. “Pirate was the horse. That same year, 1967, I was leading lady rider. Tom’s War is now a bonafide ‘old’ ladies timber horse. He ran over hurdles until last year, but has made an effortless switch to timber jumping. He is a very economical jumper. ” The only dual winner at Rapphannock was the Pennsylvania team of Louis Neilson and Michael Traurig. In the maiden timber contest, trainer/rider Neilson drove his Duke Kahana Moku home in front of Head USDA Choice Beef Trimmed WHOLE$ SIRLOIN TIPS 12-14 Lbs.

It was nice to have my other runner right there in my hip pocket.” In the two-horse open timber contest, conditioner Neilson gave Mr. Traurig a leg-up on winner Palace Party. Owned by Foxbrook Farm, the gelding was a maiden timber winner at Rappahannock in 1991. The strapping bay galloped stride for stride with Best Northern (Greg Ryan up) during most of the 2'/2-mile trip. “Palace Party is very exciting. He is Irish-bred. By the way he won here today, he could be any sort of useful runner. I want to bring him back to run in the Middleburg Hunt Cup—I like that course and think it suits him,” Mr. Neilson stated. Racegoers may have wondered how owner-rider Richard Jones transmogrified staff field hunter Lydie Breeze into a worthy challenger of the foxhunters series crown. The Goshen (Md.) Hunt master of foxhounds rode his mare to victory in the Foxhunters Timber. “My wife, Karen, whips for the Goshen pack off of this horse,” noted Mr. Jones. “She is a very steady runner, and a good jumper—today she jumped especially well. She really isn’t in ‘racehorse’ training. We hunt Lydie Breeze on Wednesdays, then race her on Saturdays. She’s a tough-knocking mare and can hold up to that schedule.” Two flat races split at Rapphannock making for four full divisions of non-jumping action. Set at 5/8ths of a mile, the first turf contest saw Chronicle of the Horse editor John Strassburger steer Mary Litterio’s Complete Move to a nose victory over Star Jenn (Chris Kolb up). Shattered Promises (Kathleen O’Keefe up) came up a close third. In the second division of the turf dash, trainer-rider David Bourke pushed with hands and heels to send Iberian Island away to score by an easy five lengths. The open flat contest was set at IV* miles. In the first division, Moroccan native Hassan Elamri drove Lonesome Jubilee in front of the 12horse field for owner Kennard Warfield. The other division spotlighted William Russell’s Bluff Cove (Marc Sharp up). The youngster looked on course for a comfortable success throughout the race. After straightening out in the stretch, Mr. Sharp got to work on the 4-year-old and brought him home by a relaxed three-length margin. Hurricane exercise set The Rappahannock Emergency Management Agency is taking part with similar groups across the state in a mid-Atlantic regional hurricane exercise code-named Integrated Exercise Zelda during the first three weeks of March.

Members of Foothills and host Prince Michel will offer light food and beverages. “This will be the first general membership get-together of 1992,” said FTA Madison board member and program chair Louis Cable, who operates a bed and breakfast in Madison County. “It’s a watershed session,” he emphasized. “We want to hear from our elected officials and the people from each of the locales Foothills represents, so that we can better define our responsibilities, relationships and translate that into enhanced marketing of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountain Foothills region.” Besides soliciting general ideas and targets for promotion from attendeees, the meeting will feature a round-table discussion among officials of the various jurisdictions. The moderator will be 30th District Del. John J. “Butch” Davies, who has made in creasing local tourism a priority and to expand economic development in the region a goal. Del.

Magazine features area B&B Sycamore Hill House & Gardens, a Rappahannock bed and breakfast operated by Kerri and Stephen Wagner, is featured in the current March-April 1992 issue of Country Inns Bed & Breakfast magazine, one of the few magazines that focueses exclusively on the guest industry. Nine full-color photographs of the spectacular gardens at Sycamore Hill atop Menefee Mountain (on U.S. 211 above the library at Washington) were included in a new regular feature on the magazine called “The Garden Gate.” The photographs, all taken by innkeeper Mrs. Wagner, reflect the Wagners’ devotion to gardening, and include shots of the native spring-flowering Virginia dogwood and redbud trees, as well as many lovely gardens throughout the 52-acre estate. “A gentle landscape of rolling hills and flower beds copious with annuals and perennials elicit sighs of contenment from guests who visit Sycamore Hill,” notes the text accompanying the photographs. Sycamore Hill House & Gardens has been operating as a bed and breakfast since January 1988, and is the first bed and breakfast in Rappahannock County, where there are about 14 inns and B&B’s, to be featured in Country Inns magazine. The Inn at Little Washington was on the cover of the magazine in 1989. In addition to operating the bed and breakfast, Sycamore Hill has supplied fresh produce to local eating establishments, and last summer Mrs. Wagner was the “tomato lady,” making deliveries to Four and Twenty Blackbirds, The Bleu Rock Inn, Schoolhouse Restaurant, and Oliver’s in Front Royal. Mr. Wagner is the designer of the new Rappahannock County seal. Country Inns magazine features inns and bed and breakfasts, not only in the United States, but around the world as well. Those interested in seeing the article may peruse the magazine at the library, which has been given several copies. Photo courtesy Wakefield CDS Pam Lynn presents $15,000 donation to Wakefield CDS librarian Grace White. Money will go to purchase books. Haitian family donates $20K to school library Interim Headmistress Pamela Lynn surprised the Wakefield Country Day School (CDS) community by presenting to librarian Grace White a check for $15,000 donated to the school library by Clifford H. Brandt of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After jokingly asking Mrs. White, the grandmother of students Jacob and David Foster, and substitute or temporary librarian, if she were inclined to faint, Mrs. Lynn explained the. unique circumstances of the gift. Clifford H. Brandt is the grandfather of three Wakefield Country Day School students, Two, Caroline, a senior, and David, an 8th grader, are presently at the school, while Clifford Brandt Jr., in whose name the gift was given, was graduated from the Huntly location last year. Clifford Jr. was involved in what the doctors predicted would be a fatal automobile accident near Roanoke last October. As word of this calamity was passed at a school soccer game only hours later, a decided hush fell over the crowd as they remembered Clifford’s spirited participation in a hard-fought game on that same field only a year earlier at Homecoming. With such a dismal prognosis all present agreed that the only help available to Clifford was prayer. In an odd tidal wave of emotion, word spread of Clifford’s dance with death until totally unrelated groups as far away as Virginia Beach were praying for him. In his donation letter Clifford Brandt Sr. wrote, “When I met the doctor who so brillitantly operated (on) him he said exactly this, ‘Mr. Brandt, I know I operated (on) your grandson Clifford, but someone was guiding my fingers.’ In sending my contribution to Wakefield (CDS) I am also thanking God for having given back to me my grandson.” Mrs. Lynn announced the establishing of the Clifford Brandt Sr. and Jr. Collection with a plaque and individual book plates to tentatively read “Given by Clifford H. Brandt in celebration of the survival of his grandson Clifford Brandt Jr. from a near-fatal accident. Gratias Deo.” Mrs. Lynn noted that this gift will provide the kind of library she and her husband, Bill Lynn, cofounders of Wakefield School, had always dreamed of for their classical program. Mrs. Lynn extended thanks to the entire Brandt family.

No, that’s not quite right. Between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday there are forty weekdays-u/uf six Sundays. Traditionally, the weekdays were the Lenten fast. The Sundays were festivals of Christian worship. If your faith has taught you to observe Lent by foregoing pleasures or adding new religious experiences or both . .. those six Sundays are occasions f »r taking inventory of your spiritual progress. If yours is a religious background that does not emphasize Lent, those six Sundays are still milestones on the way to the great celebration of Christ's Resurrect lon-Eas ter! And if. perchance, you have never given much attention to spiritual matters, those six Sundays (and the thoughtful days between) are an invitation from your Lord . . . lo walk with Him the path He walked for You.
