L. Douglas Wilder signed into law April 6 a controversial measure allowing landowners to veto two existing historic districts and all new districts. Gov. Wilder also signed a bill allowing off-track betting in Virginia, a move that is seen as a boost to building a large race track in the state. The historic districts bill allows a majority of landowners in a proposed new state historic district to kill the district by voting against it. Landowners in two districts, Brandy Station, which is mostly in Culpeper County with a small portion across the Rappahannock in Fauquier, and Bristoe Station in Prince William, may opt out of existing designations. The bill sailed through both the Senate and House while both proponents and opponents packed public hearings on the measure. Gov. Wilder had earlier hinted vaguely at problems with the bill but signed it just before the midnight deadline April 6 without comment. According to the bill’s patron, Sen. Charles Colgan, D-Prince William, some of Gov. Wilder’s staff proposed amend The fundamental question here is to what extent will Virginia be able to continue to protect its historic resources in the face of pressures from land speculators and developers.' — Hope Porter Fauquier preservationist ments to the bill but the governor did not follow their recommendations. “He called me (April 6) at about 6 in the evening and said he thought it was a good bill and he was going to sign it,” said Sen. Colgan. “It’ll be on the books for a while now, and then we’ll come back and take a look at it to make sure it works well for both th< preservationists and the landowners—am I thinjj^that’s possible,” Sen. Colgan said. Rappahannock’s delegate, Jerri Wood, a Warrenton Democrat, voted fo: the bill and on March 31 wrote a lette urging Gov. Wilder to sign it into law. “M; constituents in Fauquier County, partic ularly farmers and small landowners . . . strongly favor S.B. 514.” He said, “Rural citizens in our county feel victimized by the Department of His toric Resources, which has arbitrarily identified a vast area of our county as be ing part of a historic battlefield.” Del. Wood contended, “S.B. 514 is not a ‘developers’ bill.’ It is simply a bill tc protect landowners, many of whom own a small amount of acreage in what has been designated as a historic battlefield. My constituents do not understand why 14,000 acres were designated for the Battle of Brandy Station when only 3,000 were designated at Gettysburg.” Noting that only a few hundred acres are designated in Fauquier, conservations'GOV. WILDER, p.A-6 dumpsters may be shut Supervisors consider options By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt 9UfT Writer The contract with Community Trash to service the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble as well as operate the landfill expires this fall. For several years County Administrator John McCarthy has been saying the county should close the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble and open one in a more central location, specifically off the U.S. 211522 corridor between Washington and Sperryville. The Board of Supervisors and Mr. McCarthy are concerned with the cost of servicing the dumpster sites. They also are concerned about the potential liability of the county having the two sites unmanned and open to the public 24 hours a day. The proposed new site was to be fenced and manned and open to the public only when a county employee was present to supervise disposal. However, on Monday when Mr. McCarthy asked the supervisors to approve his negotiating with a landowner to purchase a site for a waste transfer station, Hampton District representative Mike Massie balked. “We might be getting into something private enterprise ought to do,” Mr. Massie said. “We could close all the dumpster sites and open it up to the private hauler.” He said Culpeper County does not maintain any sites except at the landfill. Homeowners who don’t want to drive to the landfill with their trash contract with private haulers to take their trash to the landfill, he said. “I think we ought to try the same thing I here,” he added. Mr. McCarthv estimated that r about $100,000 of the $180,000 the ■ county is paying Community Trash • this year is for servicing the two r dumpster sites. With only one site the cost should drop. With none it could be expected to drop more. The other supervisors agreed to hold a public hearing at their May meeting on closing the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble without opening another site. Mr. McCarthy also reported that he had run calculations on the cost of operating the landfill. Not counting such one-time costs as buying the land and building the road, it costs the county about $84 per ton of trash to operate the landfill. He said negotiations were continuing with Page and Warren counties to establish an authority to operate a regional landfill. He estimated that the cost to the county for trash disSee SUPERVISORS, p. A-6 Two jockeys both take three Ben Venue wins By BETSY BURKE AtConi Nrwapapfn Staff Writer Two Fauquier horsemen each captured three victories at the April 4 Old Dominion Hunt Point-to-Point at Ben Venue. Jockey Patrick Cooney and owner Kinross Farm collaborated on two of the three victories, with jockey Gus Brown and owner Whitewood Stable adding to the combined totals. The featured open hurdje race $aw Oakbum (NZ) carry the colors of Zohar BenDay's Kinross Farm with distinction over the two miles. Kinross’ Mihmaz won the same ’chase in 1991. Oakbum is now riding the crest of a two-race win streak. He captured the open hurdle contest at Piedmont on March 21. “He rated well, and we were able to stay off the quick early pace,” explained winning rider Brown. “He jumped superbly... at the third last, I saw a really long spot [to take off for the jump] and thought that I would ask him for it. Well, he took off a full stride earlier than that. He is capable of such brilliant jumping." The 9-year-old relaxed mid-field for the first two of three turns of the course. Brown allowed early leader Blue Arab to string the field along for 1V4 miles before making his move. Entering the backstretch for the final time, Brown stole multiple lengths in the air and moved to the lead. He quickened a quarter-mile from home and extended his compand to three lengths at the wire. Ben-Dov preluded this feature triumph With a win in a division of the maidennurdle race.

The Ben Venue course wound NfCpund the hunt territory surrounding the point-to-point course in Rappahannock County. Not surprisingly, the Rappahannock Hunt was well represented Sunday, bringing home victories in both optimum time divisions and shutting out the host hunt as well as the other ten hunts represented. "Twelve different hunts, from Bedford to Potomac, competed here,” Mildred Riddell, joint-MFH of Old Dominion offered. “This course is known for being especially well planned, marked and timed.

Alcohol, speed factors in Chester Gap fatality State police say alcohol and excessive speed caused a single-vehicle accident in Chester Gap early Saturday morning that killed one man and put three others in the hospital. It was the county’s first traffic fatality since July 1989. The driver, Rocky Lane Morris, 24, of Chester Gap, was operating a 1965 Buick westbound on Route 610, seven-tenths of a mile west of Route 670, when he entered a curve going about 50 miles per hour, said Sgt. G.A. Morris of the State Police. The posted speed is 25 mph, and the safe speed around that curve is even slower, said the sergeant. The Buick ran off the right side of the road and hit a tree. Morris was trapped in the wreckage and died on the scene. Three passengers sustained serious injuries: 22-year-old Gregory Hickerson, a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. Trooper C.A. Moore investigated. The car was destroyed in the wreck. In other police and court news this week: • A Delaplane woman was charged with causing a three-car accident on U.S. 522 at the Route 635 intersection at 2:40 p.m. April 3, according to Sgt. Morris. Viola Gasldns, 73, of Delaplane, was operating a 1986 Pontiac southbound on U.S. 522 when she made a left turn into the path of a northbound 1981 Ford, operated by Edward McKay, 19, of Winchester. The Pontiac pushed the Ford into a stopped 1990 Ford truck, operated by 57-year-old Raymond Loughry of Front Royal, who was waiting to turn onto U.S. 522 from Route 635, said Sgt. Morris. The Pontiac was destroyed, the 1981 Ford sustained $2,000 in damages and the Ford truck escaped with minor damages. Ms. Gaskins and a 93-year-old passenger, Emily Poles, were injured in the collision. Ms. Gaskins was charged with improper turning. • Fire did about $20,000 in damage to the original post office building in Flint Hill at the U.S. 522Route 641 intersection Monday night, according to Flint Hill Assistant Fire Chief Frankie Huff. Arriving on the scene just after 8 p.m., firemen observed heavy smoke pouring from the first floor. A crew went into the house through a side door and attacked the flames, then opened walls to find any hidden fire. Crews from Washington, Chester Gap and Amissville remained on the scene for two hours. The name of the home’s occupant could not be confirmed at press time. • The following fire and rescue calls were routed through the dispatch center during the past week: March 30: 9:32 am, illness.

Horse races Continued from page A-1 rider Patrick Cooney in his first try over hurdles by a full length from Overnight Hero and Peter Walsh. M1 found [I Lead The Band] in a dispersal sale,” explained Kinross trainer, Pat Myer. “The sales staff knew the ‘type’ of horse I was looking for. TTiis guy fits the bill as a ’chaser-type.” The 4-year-old Fit To Fight gelding won his first ’92 start, a tune-up on the flat March 15 at the Farmington races. Myer said that he is being primed for sanctioned competition later this season. The other Kinross winner was first-time timber starter Rolls, also ridden by Cooney. “This is not only his first ’92 start, but also his first try ever over timber,” Myer said. Kinross’ Rolls, another New Zealand horse, won his division of the novice timber race. “He was imported from New Zealand as a 5-year-old,” Myer offered. “He was a fairly prolific winner over hurdles down there. He ran over hurdles in the U.S. for a season but was injured, twice, in his tendons. “I figured that he might make a timber horse some day, if we could only get him to relax,” Myer noted. “His best distance over hurdles was short—one and seven-eighths to two miles. If he relaxes, though, he can run farther.” The race’s 1990 victor Ten Bar with Yves Henry controlled the rapid pace until he was joined by Rolls over the second last. Jockey Hunters Continued from page A-1 The long, rolling course drew positive remarks from riders competing as it offered diversity from the regular coops found in most hunt countries. In addition to stone walls, man-made rail jumps, line fences and natural aikens, riders had to negotiate stream crossings and actually jump one of the forbidding but inviting timber fences on the race course. “This course offered us a little bit of everything,” said Janet O’Keefe, winner of the adult division with partner Ginny McCarty. “Stone walls, chestnut rails, panels . . . something for everyone.” O’Keefe and McCarty hunt with the Rappahannock hounds. They rode Formal Attire and Jack, respectively, to win their division in a time of 13:46.01. “The optimum time was set at 13:42,” said Riddell. “Of all the teams who rode, 19 of them were within one minute of the ideal time . . . a true hunting pace.” “I thought our time was about right,” offered McCarty. “I was happy with our speed, especially when we were told that we won.” {-fairy Qodmother FORMAL GOWN RENTALS Large Selection Sizes • Colors • Styles BY APPOINTMENT 703) 675-3428 Evenings DAWN FISHER Washington, Va 22747 AiCom Newspapers Staff Photo/Scott Ferrell Finding a game of pick-up football at the Ben Venue race course last week, were, from left: David Goodman of Arlington, Jack Miller of Berryville, Matthew Bazel of Ashburg and David Miller of Rappahannock County. Cooney edged Rolls away from Ten Bar to get home by five lengths. The other division of the novice timber was taken by Paddy’s Run and trainer-rider Jeremy Gillam. Cooney followed his timber victory up with one more of his own riding Spiid Blong Hem. “This was his first start ever—he never even ran on the flat at the race track,” said The Plains resident Cooney. Whitewood Stable and trainer Susan Cooney sent the homebred 4-year-old to win the lV2-mile flat contest handily by five lengths over Port Micou and Hilary Thompson. “He really started to get into it in the end there,” Cooney stated. “At O’Keefe agreed with her partner on the subject of speed, but told a different story abouther second ride. She also paired with Joyce Sims and Kentucky Lumberjack to compete the race. “I had a fall at the second last jump,” laughed O’Keefe. “We still came in about 30 seconds too fast . . . my partner was teasing me that I should have been slower getting back in the saddle. Then we might have been right on the exact time.” Second place was awarded to another Rappahannock team. Brian Fitzgerald on Native Ambition and Susan Poole on Spree finished in a time of 13:37.70. Just behind them in third was the Warrenton team of Caroline Davis and Rosemary Laimbeer. Their time was 13:37.51. In the junior division, Rappahannock representatives Ashley Settle on The Black Imp and Inise Nelson on Too Good To Be True won in a time of 14:06. Year-end award leaders Chris Read and Jason Jones were too fast—13:17.91—and settled for second place this week. The next hunter pace will be sponsored by the Loudoun Hunt. April 11 at 11 a.m. r home, he has been hard to train because he is a little lazy. Now that he knows what it is all about, that might change ... he ran like a good horse today.” A new face joined wide-open competition in the owner-rider hurdle series at Old Dominion. Two of the three ’92 race winners—Military Pride and Pop’s Cherry—lined up in the field of six. William Russell rode his Lanhydrock in place of series coleader Jolly River, who is recovering from a slight infection. Russell assumed his familiar front running position at the outset, with Noel Twyman on his Deal’s Island joining him, forcing the artificially quick pace. John Branscome kept his Military Pride in check, waiting for the speed to diminish. Lanhydrock was done after IV2 miles and dropped back steadily, but Twyman’s mount rolled on towards the wire. Branscome asked his two-time ’92 series winner to make a move entering the final turn of the course. The pair drew even with Deal’s Island at the third last. They jumped the final three in company, but Twyman held the advantage landing over the last. It was just like old times for the 47-year-old Twyman as he repelled Branscome’s challenge. “I rode races professionally until 1976,” explained Twyman. “Then I took up training racehorses full time. This is my first jump race win in 10 years. ... It still feels as good now as it did then.” The other series races were marked by disaster at the last fence. In the ladies timber race, Ready Snodgrass and her Tom’s War led by 20 lengths to the final obstacle, but the series leader bobbled badly at the last and lost Snodgrass. Michele Rouse and Fire Sale were left unchallenged to coast home triumphant.

He really showed ’em today. ... He won a big race here,” he added. Big Nado, by Cooke’s stallion Big Spruce, won by a short length over Sparkling Wit with David Bourke.

Child-care material offered The Virginia Department of Health, Division of Emergency Medical Services, announced this week that the Soho Center in Madison County will receive five Injury Prevention Mini-Grants. These grants will be used by the Soho Center to buy and give away fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, safety gates, and safety latches to anyone taking care of children in their homes. All family day care providers in Rappahannock County are eligible. According to Jeanna Beker, the Soho Center’s director, “We are obviously excited about this award. With so many children in the region in family day care, it means they’ll be safer than ever.” According to the National Safety Council, 26 million children are injured each year at home; two million require medical attention. Antonia Novello, the United States Surgeon General, has reported that 100 children die every day from avoidable household accidents. Adds Mrs. Beker, “Preventable injuries are the number one killer of children in home settings. Common sense suggests that the chances of injury and accidents increase in situations where several young children are being cared for by a single individual. This grant gives us a wonderful chance to help prevent tragic accidents and keep children in family day care safe.” 1 Anyone who is taking care $f children in their home and interested in more information about receiving safety devices (fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, safety gates, etc.) should call Mrs. Beker at the Soho Center, 703-9235012.

Wilder concerning historic districts is a bad law. Senate Bill 514 is supposedly designed to allow those who own property slated to be designated on the Virginia Landmarks Register to vote down the designation. In our opinion, however, there are holes in the bill big enough to drive a backhoe through, which is exactly what developers probably plan to do to it. Although S.B. 514 contains a number of changes to state law, the controverial portion allows a “majority” of property owners to vote down a historic district, or an owner to veto a building’s historic designation. “Majority,” according to the law, is “a majority of the number of property owners of or within the proposed property or district. ” Let’s suppose the Town of Washington did not have its historic designation, which of course it does (and the law does not cover already-designated property, except Brandy Station and Bristoe). How would the “majority” vote be taken? Would one “lot of record” be a vote? Or would it be a taxable lot? They’re two different things,, at least in Washington. What about a single landowner whose many parcels were non-contiguous—how many votes would he or she get? Or a family subdivision? If one person owned 90 percent of the property, but it was in one large chunk, could two neighbors with oneacre lots out-vote him and keep the land from being preserved? Apparently so. Who would conduct the balloting, the State Board of Elections? There’s no provision for that in the new law. What will happen in the event of a tie? Of all people to go off half-cocked on an issue requiring a majority vote, the state legislature is the last group one might expect. We also question the provision that allows a single property owner to veto his or her building’s designation as historic. The owner may not want to preserve a certain building as it should be, but the people have an interest in the matter. Not everyone who might end up owning Monticello is going to want the state involved in their property—yet most would say it should be. The Preservation Alliance of Virginia, which lobbied against the bill, says it allows owners to block designation without any process to at least determine the eligibility of the resource—in other words, its historic significance. Without hearing the case for the historic designation, the public won’t know if the property needs it or not. It’s simply up to the landowner. There’s another issue here. Historic Districts are, in many respects, like any other zoning district. And zoning decisions can’t be made by a majority of landowners, or else everyone would vote to make their property as loosely zoned as possible, even if they don’t plan to change the use. Most people would want to keep their options available, even while seeing the value of restricting their neighbors’ options. We should add, for those that don’t know it, that 31st District Del. Jerry Wood of Warrenton was behind passage of the bill. Mr. Wood’s pharmacy is in a Historic District, so he of all people should realize the districts’ value. We invite him to make the case that the law is not, as we argue, severely lacking in specifics. In a letter to Gov. Wilder this week in support of the bill, Mr. Wood argues that Remington-area landowners “feel victimized by the Department of Historic Resources, which has arbitrarily identified a vast area of our county as being part of a historic battlefield. . . . My constituents do not understand why 14,000 acres were designated for the Battle of Brandy Station when only 3,000 were designated at Gettysburg.” Overhauling the process for historic designation, simply because a few landowners don’t like one particular Historic Resources decision, is a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Have these landowners made any attempt for appeal through the courts, a system that exists for cases like these? Del. Wood also exaggerates when he says “a vast area” of Fauquier is part of the Brandy Station designation. A vast area of Culpeper, arguably, but not of Fauquier. As to the comparison with Gettysburg, not everyone involved with preserving that battlefield would say 3,000 acres are enough. Ill-considered S.B. 514 should not have become law. We’ll be following the “majority votes” to see how they are structured. It should be interesting. But is it really art? To the Editor: I have a picture of former National Endowment of the Arts Chairman John E. Frohnmayer that I plan to artistically tape inside of a bedpan. I hope the Middle Street Gallery will display it since it is on the “cutting edge” of art. Mr. Frohnmayer’s problem is that he was obviously unable to distinguish between liberty and license, and lacked a real concept of what art is supposed to be all about. He confuses “art,” which is a portrayal of beauty, with “truth,” which lies in the realm of free speech and philosophy, however it is often mistakenly applied to art. While it is to be expected that many people—even artists themselves—confuse the values belonging to, respectively, art and philosophy; administrators in charge of furthering the former with taxpayers’ money should be required to demonstrate an ability to distinguish between the two. Mr. Frohnmayer could not, and was rightly forced to resign. While he was throwing people’s money away on gross expressions of “truth” masquerading as art or “beauty,” I wonder what he or the NEA was doing to promote the true beauty of women’s oldest form of dance, the “art" of motion which is currently experiencing a sort of underground popularity in the United States and around the planet, and is inappropriately labeled as “Danse Oriental,” “Middle Eastern Dance,” and “Bellydancing”? I say “inappropriately labeled” because depictions of the dance first appear on the walls of caves in France painted by our ancestors 15,000 years ago, and that the famous belly rolls and flutters are really but a small aspect of the dance, which consists of hundreds of isolated motions within the kinetic totality which draws strongly from the natural movements of female life. Locally and nationally bellydancers are struggling to perfect and perform their art, to get it noticed by the general public, and to free it from the false image presented by Hollywood, television, Mid-East nightclubs here and abroad, and even such things as condom marketing (Sultans). And it is just such struggling artists who advance and enhance beauty in all its many forms that represent the “cutting edge” of art, not Frohnmayers peeping out of bedpans. Mr. Frohnmayer and his supporters may paranoidly believe that “enemies” are attacking the world of art, but the truth is that many programs are being cut back, including defense. And if they attacked him for his promotion of ugliness, he has only himself to blame. PETER B. HOLLEY Syria, Va. Look within ourselves To the Editor: At this time, as we move toward an election for president, and in some states, senators, and in all states members of the House of Representatives, I want to urge citizens to look within themselves, as opposed to looking out to “them.” Our system of government is complicated: we have local governments, in some places county, town and city authorities; and we have state and national governments. All of these layers of government have specified powers and responsibilities. They are a protection for representative government in our nation, but they are also a challenge to our citizens. Who among us assumes the responsibilities our systems of government call for? Who among us is worthy of what we believe are our rights? Particularly challenged by those who can attract puttie attention has been “Congress,” by which is meant both the House and the Senate. The extent to which the Virginia senatorial representatives do not in any way represent me, I can’t begin to discuss, I am so outraged. But I don’t confuse my distress with what other people who vote in this state feel. I assume that both Senator Robb and Senator Warner vote the way most of the Virginia voters want them to, or they would expect to be defeated. The important point here is that Congress is the public’s access to government, far more than the presidency of the judiciary. When I write to Senator Robb and receive a non-answer, I don’t assume he hasn’t heard what I had to say, even though he wants me to believe that. Years ago, when I worked in a congressional office, one of my tasks was to make a daily analysis of the mail for the representative. If the voters of the U.S. allow their enemies to convince them that “Congress” is the problem, they will believe that they should be euchred out of their means to be represented. Voters have to force themselves to separate what they do and do not like that Congress does or does not do, from the institution, and their own responsibility for it, or we will lose our representative government. An examination of the recent history of the presidency and its work will not show an interest there in a faithfulness to representative government. Rather, it will show a belief in the White House that the president is above the law and is a law unto himself. On the other hand, a history of the House and the Senate will show, at least in part, a willingness to tolerate Executive tyranny in the hope that the fiction of representative government may be sustained, in spite of everything, expecting that legal government can from time to time be recovered and achieved. If Congress is successfully trashed, then representative government in the U.S. will fail. Ask yourself, “In whose interest is Congress being bashed?” DIANA BIRD Washington, Va. Glad to see B&Bs thrive To the Editor: This afternoon, with the usual pleasure I take in reading the Rappahannock News on its arrival in Chevy Chase, I came upon the article on Page 2 announcing the scheduled “Moveable Feast” sponsored by the local B&Bs. It makes me feel as though I am still an active participant in the doings of the Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahanncok County when I read about the wonderful progress this group has made since its inception back in 1985, when I was a founding member and treasurer. Having owned and operated Meadowwood Bed & Breakfast in Slate Mills with my late husband, Eugene Robson, we were both active members in the community of innkeepers, and fully enjoyed sharing our home and our lives with the many guests we were privileged to meet and greet. When Eugene died in September 1985, Meadowwood continued to operate with the wonderful assistance of many members of the county finding employment with us. As all the B&Bs flourished, so too did the guild, and our plans in the guild grew more adventurous monthly. The first all-participating, activity was scheduled for March 14, 1987, and we called it a “Progressive Dinner,” in which Meadowwood, the Conyers House, Caledonia Farm and Heritage House shared in the preparation and presentation of delightful Pleasures of the Palate. It was the first Moveable Feast in the county. ... I remember the date well since I broke my ankle on the day before, Friday the 13th, and my son, Arthur Neufeld, flew into Virginia from New Jersey to assist in serving 22 guests for dinner. All the B&Bs were delighted with our success, and I for one will never forget the experience. I wish the innkeepers well in their planned feast on April 26; however, let them not forget those who were instrumental in laying the groundwork for these present and future events. LORRAINE F. ROBSON Chevy Chase, Md. Baseball league thanks To the Editor: The Rappahannock Athletic Association (RAA) would like to thank pll the people who volunteered their time to make this year’s registration a huge success. Youth baseball in Rappahannock County continues to grow. This year we have had over 260 children register to play'and have formed 20 teams. Baseball safety equipment, uniforms, field maintenance and insurance are all expensive and we can’t do it without the community’s support. If you are interested in being a sponsor there are still some teams available. Please contact Becky Putnam at 703-347-1128. The RAA would like to send out a special thank you to Junior Fletcher of L.F. Fletcher Excavating Inc. Mr. Fletcher donated his equipment and hours of hard work to do some much-needed work to the playing fields in AmissviUe. It’s people like Mr. Fletcher who volunteer so much to keep our league going. As a last note, if anyone stiU has uniforms please turn them in to Lydia Pentecost or drop them off at Hackley’s Store. MARIE REYNOLDS Amissville Speaking as a recipient To the Editor As a relatively new resident of Rappahannock County and the recipient of several National Endowment for the Arts Choreographer’s Fellowships, I have followed the controversy that has ensued since Ron Frazier’s letter of March 5 with great interest. I moved to Woodville a little over a year ago from D.C. I had become acquainted with the community through my work with Ki Theatre for several years' previous to my move. I was attracted to Rappahannock because of the possibility of living and working in a community that I feel values the arts and creative activity as an expression of the human spirit, the expression of such what I consider to be the ultimate freedom. I still very much feel this about the community. I have not been so naive as to think that everyone in the area enjoys or partakes of the arts, or even considers them worthwhile. In addition, I know that not even they who do will necessarily find everything I do or create “good” or “wonderful,” but it is my hope that in the spirit of community which involves a commitment to the individuals that make it up, I can strive to do my work as honestly and fully as possible and that it will in turn be valued and respected by members of the community. My relationship to the community will take time to develop just as any relationship, and I look forward to its evolution. What I also hope, and I hope not naively, is that just as I desire to acknowledge the members of the community whose paths I may never or seldom cross because of our differences in tastes, interests or pursuits as a part of the fabric of the diverse culture of this community, that I may also be accepted in turn as a part of that fabric. I applaud that we can converse openly in the public forum of the Rappahannock News without fear of reprisal and with the vast differences that exist between our viewpoints. May this continue to be so. But for it to remain so, we must each be able to continue to express our viewpoints as different, conflicting or opposing as they may seem to be. This must continue to be so within all the groups that each individual may be a member of— whether that be a political party or a geographic community. It is not a part of the democratic process that all members of any community totally agree on any issue. The common ground between us is that we can each make our own choices as to work, lifestyle, and values as long as it does not infringe on the ability of others to also have choice. Then we are left to figure out how to live peacefully side by side as a community, and as communities within communities. The alternative: no need to figure out how to live side by side with our differences because we have no choice to have differences. Is this the preference? I also ask, in all of the outcry over public funding of the arts, what is at the root of this rage that questions less than 20 grants out of 90,000 given in more than 25 years? Such an obviously overblown outcry points to the existence of some other issue underneath it all. Why is the fist being drawn so hard around the less-than-a-dollar per taxpayer for the arts by those that would defund the NEA? Tax dollars continue to flow freely in ways that ignore poverty, homelessness and poor education, and subsidize the destruction of our land and environment. If all government agencies were to be closed because of controversy over spending decisions, no agency would be left standing. What is it about the current controversy in the arts that it has stirred up so much outcry while many of the things going wrong and crumbling around us often inspire only a shake of the head? What are we afraid might be seen, heard or communicated in the form of artistic expression? Why have these few controversial grants been so challenging? SHARON WYRRICK Woodville 10-K group supporters To the Editor: The Rappahannock County Recreational Authority is pleased to recognize The Inn at Little Washington as its principal sponsor for the 14th annual Fodderstack 10-K Race, to be held on Saturday, April 25. Other generous supporters include Eileen Day Realty, Roy Wheeler/Jean Lillard, Rappahannock National Bank, Liberty Savings Bank, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Warrenton, Farmers & Merchants Bank of Flint Hill, and Wakefield Country Day School of Huntly. We must also recognize the tireless efforts of the dozens of volunteers, the backbone of any successful effort such as ours, as well as the work of the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Sheriffs Office, State Police, and the volunteer fire and rescue companies. As the only fundraising effort for the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority, which is charged with maintaining and improving the Rappahannock County Park, we urgently need local residents and businesses to support the Fodderstack 10-K Race. While we recognize that we are in difficult economic times, we sincerely appreciate any donations possible. To make a tax-deductible contribution or for race registration forms, please write: Recreational Facilities Authority, P.O. Box 124, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. john McCarthy ANEY MASSIE MARGARET LEE DONNA KEVIS LUCY MAE YER Fodderstack Race Committee Need for open lines To the Editor: I would like to congratulate the Rappahannock News for addressing our community need for pertinent information. In several articles presented in the April 2 edition, the paper focused on student activities at RCES. The column [by Diana Corbin] It’s Elementary! is an excellent example of the newspaper’s ability to provide parents with information. To quote U.S. Rep. George Allen, from another article in the very same edition, “American parents have turned over too much of their responsibility for education to government. . . We must find ways to get parents involved with their children individually and also with their local schools.” In a recent meeting with a highly effective and sincere community leader, principal John Toth of RCHS, we were discussing the very problem of communication between parent and school. Mr. Toth also considered the possibility of examining new programs to enhance this interaction. This is a challenging opportunity for the Rappahannock News to take the lead in providing a powerful liaison—connecting parents and schools. Create a forum for interaction between parents and ideas. It is our belief that any concerned parent, child or grandparent would seek out this weekly feature as a principle source of such timely information. This proposed resource of ideas would also record past events and especially preview upcoming ones. This challenge needs to be met. We can collectively use our talents through good communication to brighten the future prospects for our children and our Rappahannock public school system. It would most certainly foster involvement. ERIC AND JOYCE HERMANSEN Amiss villp (If anyone wishes to start a high school column similar to Mrs. Corbin’s, call the paper at 675-3338.— Ed.) says Mrs. Day To the Editor: First and foremost, allow me to thank you for your generous and extensive coverage of our area’s artistic and cultural events and concerns. As a community member, participant, and audience member, I appreciate the support and information the Rappahannock News provides. After having read the article in last week’s issue about the upcoming evening (April 12) of Ki Theatre’s “Exchange Series,” however, I feel I need to clarify a few things. 1 do not have a great deal of experience with interviews (obvious, perhaps) but I feel that a certain presumptuousness seemed present in some of my statements which was never in my heart or mind and were not intended, therefore, to pass my lips. “You know they’re going to love you no matter what”—yikes! What performer would dare to make such an assumption, or would even want to? Our audiences deserve more credit than that. I spoke of the nurturing environment of Rappahannock County audiences, not of a lack of discernment or critical acuity. I may have said it, but I surely don’t remember meaning what came across as a somewhat arrogant generalization. Support of the arts and the character of audiences in this community are remarkable; so is the caliber of most of the offerings. Although, fireSee LETTERS, p. A-5

Letters Continued from page A-4 quently friends and neighbors are reluctant to openly criticize the work of fellow community members (and this is understandable and sometimes even commendable), we need to strive for excellence and that may not always mean pleasing everyone. What we are all after, I daresay, is communion. It is so hard to find in these times of alienation and distraction. Thanks to Julie Portman and Ki Theatre for exploring it in the “Exchange Series,” in which I’m honored to take part, and thanks to you, dear Editor, for allowing me to clarify my intentions as quoted. DINAH PEHRSON-DAY Sperryville Pageant came off beautifully To the Editor: On behalf of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, I would like to thank everyone in our community who helped to make our 1992 Annual Miss Rappahannock Pageant a success.

With the support of the community Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad is better staffed and equipped to serve you. EDIE FALLS Secretary SVRS Results of survey eyed To the Editor: On Feb. 11 results of the PRIDE survey were presented to the Rappahannock School Board. Concerned citizens of the community find the results surprising as the substance abuse rate in the county appears to be increasing at an alarming rate. Often, the reaction of individuals upon reading the results of the survey has been one of disbelief, or skepticism. This point of view has unfortunately been reinforced by comments of some Rappahannock students. When questioned about the survey by parents or interested individuals, a few students have responded that “no one at my school took it seriously,” while other students have even hinted that the survey results were falsified. Unfortunately, it does not seem likely that the students attending our schools would have been able to falsify the data that this survey has reported on the use of alcohol and other drugs. The PRIDE survey was specifically designed to take into account that a student might counterfeit answers in an attempt to distort survey results. PRIDE officials responded to inquiries about this matter quickly and hrmly saying that they doubted that Rappahannock’s results were “faked.” PRIDE officials pointed out that in their survey, whenever a student answered any questions in an inconsistent manner, the entire survey was thrown out. The Community Coalition Working for Healthy Youth (CCWHY) is a newly developed organization with the belief that Rappahannock County youth can and should live in a substance-free environment. With the support of family, friends and peers this can become a reality. CCWHY will hold an organizational and informational meeting from 7:30 p.m.-9 p.m. on April 28 at the Washington Fire Hall. All interested members of the community are invited to become involved. Babysitting services will be available.

Day Realtors was awarded Realtor of the Year, the Piedmont Association of Realtors’ (PAR) most prestigious and coveted award recently. Mr. Day accepted the honor at the Awards Banquet that was held March 20 at the Lakeside Clubhouse in Culpeper. His contributions to the Realtor Association and the Virginia Association of Realtors (VAR) single him out for his outstanding contributions to the Realtor profession. Mr. Day’s accomplishments date back to 1985 with his election to the Piedmont Association of Realtors Board of Directors and accumulated from there. The highlight of his service to PAR was best known when he was president and president-elect in 1989-90. During that period he also served as a director to the Virginia State Association, and continued on as a director through 1991. He also served on many VAR committees to include Equal Opportunity, Nominating, Standard Forms, and a member of Region II Council. Mr. Day is a key member of the Piedmont Association of Realtors. He was instrumental during the formulation of the new Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which is the most powerful multiple listing services in the nation. His service to the regional MLS extended to participation on the “Futures Group,” formulated to select the regional MLS vendor. ^ He has made significant contributions to PAR by serving as chairman of the Equal Opportunity Committee from 1988-1989, member of the Multiple Listing Committee 1988-92, and member of Budget and Finance Committee from 1988-90. He was recently elected from five Realtor associations that serve the area of Northern Virginia, Loudoun, Prince William, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison counties, as director for the Regional Information Service, Inc. Piedmont Association of Realtors is the voice of real estate that serves Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper, and Orange counties.

The conference included contests including students’ knowledge and skill in technology from designing electronics to constructing aerodynamically efficient cars. Many of the Rappahannock students returned with trophies certifying their achievements at the competitions. Jesse Rogers won first place in the technical report writing contest. Jesse also got first place in the level one graphic design competition, which involves designing a logo for next year’s National T.S.A. conference. Jesse’s brother, Tucker, returned home with a second place trophy for level two graphic design. Clint Carlson won first place in materials and processes design with his wood and plastic checkerboard. Philip Smiley drew an effective poster to win third place in the safety illustration contest.

Gov. Wilder Continued from page A-1 ist Hope Porter, of Warrenton, said, “We believe that most of Mr. Wood’s constituents are as concerned about the negative aspects of S.B. 514 as they are about S.B. 270—the fiveyear vesting bill, which Mr. Wood correctly opposed." “S.B. 514 was written expressly for Lee Sammis, the California land speculator who bought thousands of acres in Culpeper County at the site of the Battle of Brandy Station, with plans to build there a new city as big as downtown Richmond,” said Mrs. Porter, a member of the Piedmont Environmental Council and Citizens for Fauquier County. “S.B. 514 was designed to reverse the Department of Historic ' Resources’ finding that the area is historically significant,” she said. “The fundamental question here is to what extent will Virginia be able to continue to protect its historic resources in the face of pressures from land speculators and developers.” Historic designation boils down to one question: Is it historic or isn’t it, she said. “Property owners who are here today and gone tomorrow are not necessarily qualified to answer that question. Historians who are expert in the appropriate field are in a better position to give an unbiased answer. “If a property is designated as historic, the property owner can still do anything he likes with his land within the zoning constraints of the county. . . . Historic designation carries no prohibitions on ownership whatsoever. But it does restrict both state and federal agencies from making program decisions and spending taxpayer money in whays that destroy the public heritage.” t Off-track betting The bill allowing for off-track betting proved to be less controversial but has generated a great deal of interest throughout the state. “I’ve been told that some groups are looking in Virginia, and even around Dulles, for a site for a racetrack and they’re saying it is because of this bill,” said Del. William Mims, R-Loudoun. Off-track betting places are typically restaurant-type facilities that can carry races live on television and take bets on the outcome of the races. According to Del. Mims’ reading of the law, it allows only six offtrack betting places in Virginia. Horse racing enthusiasts supported the bill as a means to attract a major race track owner to the state. Churchill Downs, in Kentucky, has expressed interest in Loudoun County and the Tidewater area as potential sites for a major track. Other bills signed Other bills Wilder signed or amended before the April 6 deadline include: • The $28 billion state budget. Wilder said he is recommending 22 mostly technical amendments. He is adding $1 million for cleanup of a state oil storage facility and is recommending that a $2 million cut to the state Department of Personnel be spread out over other state agencies. • Wilder signed a bill creating the crime of stalking. The bill is seen as a tool in the fight against the abuse of women and children.

Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham suggested the county not go into a regional landfill unless it includes a Material Recovery Facility (MRF). With a MRF it would not be necessary for the homeowner to separate recyclable trash from other trash. It would be separated by employees at the landfill. Mr. McCarthy agreed that it will be difficult for the county to meet the goal of 25 percent recycling by 1995 without such a facility. The board heard a report from Col. E.P. Luke on Planning District 9. The county administrator in Fauquier County has * suggested Fauquier should drop out of PD-9 and join PD-8, which serves Northern Virginia. Col. Luke said he has visited PD8’s offices and was impressed with the staff and mapping services available there. He added that a decision to move to PD-8 was not just a matter of the technological services available there, but also involved a political decision as well. Col. Luke said as chairman of PD-9, he would support the wishes of the supervisors but felt that Rappahannock’s goal, unlike the jurisdictions of Northern Virginia, is to try to hold growth and development back. The supervisors agreed they would prefer to remain with PD-9, but hoped the cost would not go up. The supervisors learned that Frances Thornton’s and Beverly Massie’s terms on the School Board expire at the end of June. Mr. McCarthy said they would need to hold a public hearing on those vacancies and meet to appoint persons to the board at least a week later and that only persons nominated at those meetings could be appointed. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the supervisors that for Rappahannock to have elected school board members it would be necessary for 10 percent of the voters to petition the court to hold a referendum on changing the method of selecting School Board members. If the referendum passes to have elected School Board members, the election for that board would take place at the same time as the next election when the supervisors are elected, November 1995. In other action the supervisors: • Agreed to enter into a contract with Autometric to supply mapping services for the Enhanced 911 emergency system for $200,000. Mr. McCarthy said the telephone surcharge would cover the cost. Combo Real Estate Rates available for 9 Arundel Newspapers! Call today 703-675-3338 Live Music Lounge!5!

Under the current assessment one cent raised $33,400. The tax rate has been 77 cents for the past two years. To raise the same amount of money under the current assessment would require a tax rate of 60 cents. It is not likely the Board of Supervisors will be able to hold the tax rate at 50 cents. Most parts of the county budget will be increasing. The budget for schools calls for an increase of $260,000 in county funds, or 11 percent. Under the new assessment 49 percent of the land value will be deferred through the land use assessment program. Under the current assessment 35 percent of the land value was deferred through land use. Most of this change results from the fact that land use assessments increased only a little while “fair market value" assessments increased much more. Thus a higher percentage of the value of the land is lost when it is asssessed at land use value rather than at “fair market value. ” • Agreed to support Rose Ann Sharp in her bid to establish a Head Start program at the Child Care and Learning Center. • Agreed to hold a public hearing on the school budget at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 23 at the high school auditorium and another meeting the following Thursday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock Courthouse to adopt the school budget. • Heard from Sandy Rives of the National Park Service that there is nothing that can be done about closing access to the trail at Big Devil Stairs. • Adopted the revised six-year secondary road plan. • Received a copy of the proposed questionnaire to be used in surveying county farmers for the Agricultural Advisory Committee.

Name ___ Address____ City_State_Zip_ Benefit of fire* Use of Gnat Meadow Year-Round by Nonprofit Community Groups nw Class exchanges with Russians Cheryl Alexander’s third grade class has made friends and penpals with a third grade class in St. Petersburg, Russia. They have exchanged postcards, pictures, life-size valentines (a traced full-size body cut-out) and magazines. The most recent exchange was a package of booklets called “My Country, Your Country” and cutouts of the Russian alphabet. Our third-grade sent booklets called “My Country, Your Country” to be filled out by the Russian children. The booklet contained sections to describe their pets or animals that they like; pictures of themselves; and a page to describe what’s important to them—one example by Sasha Pomorin (his American pen pal is Zack Corbin) was his family, his native city and economic peace. A pretty profound statement for a third grader. Due to a grant from the Virginia Commission of the Arts, the class was able to send cameras and film to the Russian students. Unfortunately they were IT'S ELEMENTARY What's Happening at RCES by Diana Corbin unable to understand the mechanics of the cameras, so additional instructions were provided and the next exchange will contain candid photos of their new friends. The Russian children had their booklets translated into English and copied the translation so we could read and understand their statements—something they had never done before and which was difficult for them to do considering the formation of their letters is very different from ours. Thanks to Laurie Marshall's quick thinking many wonderful textbooks were saved from the landfill. They were going to be dumped, so she and Mrs. Alexander’s class will be sending them off to Russia also. Deborah Flincham’s first grade class presented a play Wednesday, March 18. The production included “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “A St. Patrick’s Day Play” and the finale, the Irish song “Michael Finnigan.” The cast worked very hard on the play and it was a learning experience for all involved. Parent volunteer Beverly Conners assisted Mrs. Flincham directing the play. The audience of first grade classes and kindergarten classes attended had a great time.

Payne throws back-to-back three-hitters By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer By any measure, the Rappahannock girls softball team is on a roll. The Lady Panthers won three games last week to run their record to 6-0, 4-0 in the Bull Run District. But the more remarkable statistic is that the team is 18-1 over the last two seasons, the only loss being the one that eliminated them from last spring’s postseason tournament. Through Friday’s one-sided win at home against the George Mason Mustangs, the Lady Panthers were hitting .304 as a team, getting 35 hits in 115 at-bats in five games. Leading the team is last season’s alldistrict player Sherron Boddie with a .571 average and eight hits. Other hitting leaders include Dietrich Beaver, .556; Marsha Freeman, .417; and Bonnie Jewell, .313. And the starting pitcher, Susan Payne, has been unstoppable. Last Wednesday the girls traveled to Berryville to take on Clarke County, a perennial district leader. Thanks in large part to 15 walks by the Clarke pitcher, Rappahannock won, 13-7. Clarke out-hit Rappahannock, 8 to 6, but four runners were walked home in one inning by the Eagles’ pitcher. Against George Mason Friday, the game was called in the sixth inning with Rappahannock up 18-4 (there’s a 15-run slaughter rule) due to cold. Rappahannock pitcher Susan Payne (6-0) had a no-hitter going into the fifth inning, before allowing a hit. She finished the game having given up only three hits. Boddie went 4-for-5, Cyndi Welch was 2-for-4 and Freeman hit three times in five at-bats. . The win left the Lady Panthers in sole possession of first place, but Central, Strasburg and Page all have only one loss in the still-young season. In a make-up game against nondistrict opponent Luray Monday, Payne and the Luray pitcher both had no-hitters going into the fifth inning. Payne gave up only three hits for the second game in a row, and strong defense gave Rappahannock the win, 5-1. Payne had eight strike-outs and faced only 24 batters in seven innings as the Lady Panthers had no errors on defense. The winning run came on a sacrifice fly by Lori Paratore that scored Marsha Freeman. Luray was the pre-season favorite to win the Skyline District. Coach Renee Leake said that the team is playing well, but games this week at home against Central on ’ Friday and at home against Strasburg on Monday will tell her more about how far the team can expect to go. The team also travels to Page County for a April 15 contest. “We’re scoring a lot of runs, and I think that’s just heads-up base running,” she said, noting that only one Rappahannock runner has been thrown out stealing so far this season. Offensive output, a problem last season, has been more than adequate. Coach Leake said last year a typical score might be 4-2; this season the Lady Panthers are scoring in double digits. Baseball Panthers collect two victories The Rappahannock boys baseball team won its second and third games of the season this week, beating George Mason and Stonewall Jackson-Mount Jackson to run its record to 3-3 overall, 2-3 in the Bull Run District. In the Stonewall game Monday, standout senior Kevin Daymude threw a one-hitter and broke out of his pitching slump with a rocket triple in leading the Panthers to an 8-4 win. The game was closer than the score, however, as Stonewall had the biuses loaded with the tying run at the plate with two out in the bottom of the seventh inning. Daymude struck out the last batter for the win. The game went back and forth in the early innings, but strong defense by Rappahannock kept , the Stonewall batters eff base, said Coach Mike Tupper. “StonewalPs got an excellent USDA Choice Beef London Broil Or Top Round Roast 88 Lb. 1 Lb.

Both Rappahannock County men are U.Va. alums. team, they’re a good hitting team,” he said. Earlier in the week Rappahannock lost a close game at Clarke County April 1, 7-6. Although the Panthers led most of the game, the Eagles got some men on base in the bottom of the sixth inning due to errors and pulled out the win. Daymude wen tthe distance and gave up only four hits. Rappahannock had six hits. Against George Mason Friday, the Panthers got their first district win of the year by outlasting the Mustangs 12-11 before the contest was called in the sixth inning on account of darkness. “Neither team really played well,” said Coach Tupper. “We knew whoever was up last would win.” And that was Rappahannock. The Mustangs got eight hits and had the advantage of nine fielding errors by Rappahannock. The Panthers had only five hits. Right-hander Hunter Foster went most of the way before being pulled with one out in the sixth. J.C. Welch game in, faced two batters and got credit for the win. H.

Through Monday night outfielder Kevin Jolliffe is leading the team in hitting with a .308 average. The baseball team plays at home against Central April 10, at home against Strasburg April 13, and away at Page County April 15.

Book lists tourist sites in Washington More publicity and praise for inns, bed and breakfasts, restaurants and shops in Washington and its environs are included in a new guidebook entitled “Inn Spots and Special Places (New York & Mid-Atantic),” Wood Pond Press. The comprehensive guide, the seventh such book published by Nancy Webster and Richard Woodworth, who visited the area in September 1991, includes an entire chapter on Washington as a tourist destination, calling it a bucolic hamlet “unscathed by development." The lodging section includes lengthy and glowing reviews of The Inn at Little Wahington and the Bleu Rock Inn. Bed and breakfasts singled out for special attention and substantial write-ups include Sycamore Hill House & Gardens, Blue Knoll Farm and Caledonia Farm. Heritage House and Foster-Harris House are also mentioned. The Inn at Little Washington is designed for those who seek the “ultimate in decor and service,” the guidebook notes, while the Bleu Rock Inn enjoyes a “matchless setting overlooking a Napa Valley-ish vista.” Sycamore Hill House & Gardens offers its guests “tasteful furnishings, exquisite flowers and plants, original artwork, gourmet food and a view that won’t quit,” according to the book. “Serenity and family heirlooms,” as well as a lavish breakfast, are several of the things that make Blue Knoll Farm a special retreat, say Webster and Woodworth. Caledonia Farm, a 180-year-old stone house, has lovely architectural details, a private honeymoon suite, nearly a mile of stone fences, and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Four and Twenty Blackbirds in Flint Hill received kudos in the new book, which tells potential customers the food is the “stuff of which culinary dreams are made,” with prices that won’t break the bank. The dining at the Bleu Rock Inn and The Inn at Little Washington is reviewed extensively and praised lavishly. Caledonia praised by national company Hundreds of bed and breakfasts across America participated in a unique award program to identify the overall best destinations for an overnight stay. Caledonia Farm near Flint Hill was selected as the only B&B in Virginia and one of only 23 nationwide to receive “four ovations” designating it as “exceptional” and “significantly exceeding requirements in physical and opera' tirtfia!categories.” *#**w-. The competition w’as developed by IN Novations, a company specializing in marketing support to distinctive B&B accommodations. Caledonia Farm submitted a video entry accompanied by guest testimonials. B&Bs were rates in ambiance, architectural detail, service to guests, reputation and overall presentation of property. Judges represented a cross section of the hospitality industry. Restaurants were not eligible. Caledonia Farm’s host, Phil Irwin, was delighted with the national recognition. Having visited 270 B&Bs in North America, Mr. Irwin says, “now we’re even more sure that we have little competition for hospitality, accommodations, scenery, history or recreation.” He adds, “We’re still the most affordable B&B in the area.” Caledonia Farm has earlier earned the International Inn Society top 5-Globe Award, a Treadway Classic Inn designation and AAA’s top 3-Diamond rating for B&Bs. Mr. Irwin is a founder, vice president and membership director of the Bed and Breakfast Association of Virginia. He is also meeting chair of the Rappahannock B&B Guild and a director of the six-county Foothills Travel Association. While aggressively promoting tourism, he devotes even more energy to preserving the environment that first attracts guests to Caledonia Farm. Conservation easments preserve his farm and home in perpetuity. The local bed and breakfast offers two rooms and one suite. It is well known as a romantic getaway to travelers and meeting planners for its view of the Skyline Drive atop the Shenandoah National Park, working fireplaces, individual heat control, air-conditioning, patio and porches. Breakfasts at hourly intervals feature choice of eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, custom omelets and many unannounced extra. Bicycles, lawn games and an evening hay ride are among the many amenities. Caledonia Farm’s manor house and companion summer kitchen were built in 1812, constitute a Virginia Historic Landmark and are on the National Register of Historic Places. The nationally recognized Rappahannock Progressive Dinners usually begin at the Flint Hill site. Several reservations are still available for the next “Moveable Feast” on Sunday, April 26.

Uncle Ed's story isn't so funny any more By WALTER DAY My great Uncle Ed liked to drink. The family thought he had a problem with his drinking. Uncle Ed did not think he had a problem. He would say, “I can stop anytime I want to.” They said, “So stop.” Uncle Ed would always reply “I don’t want to.” Uncle Ed came home a little early one night and looked in the window of his house and saw his neighbor kissing his wife. He was asked, “What did you do?” He replied, “I got even, I went over to his house and drank all of his whiskey!” Sounds like a funny story. It is not, because the addiction to alcohol and the burning need for it causes shame Ail actions. Uncle Ed loved his wife more than life itself but the need for booze required more immediate satisfaction. In 1971, when I first became interested seriously in the subject, I read that 65 percent of the people in state prisons were there as the result of the use of alcohol (should I say misuse?) and of those, 40 percent were in on bad check charges. I don’t know what the statistics are today, what with the effect of the more modern drug addictions. I often wonder how much damage is done by the simple weed marijuana. If one uses it compulsively for 30 years, how much brain is left? Certainly during that period the person’s life has been wasted; if the weed does nothing else it steals one’s time. But it does a lot more than that. It steals genius as well r ■Day By Day as time. How much does it steal if one only uses it half as much? How much time is spent in jail because of the search for and purchase of the weed? How much responsibility should a user have to cure his own insanity? The state has a program for drunk drivers: they are required to attend counseling and encouraged to participate in Alcoholics Anonymous. Many people have been helped by this program, and many are not helped but just go on and end up dead, in jail or insane. A drunk driver drives when insane, a marijuana user is insane when buying, raising the stuff, or jumping bail. The user doesn’t jump bail because he is afraid of jail, he does it because he is crazy. He should be prosecuted for being crazy, and should be sentenced to treatment until he isn’t crazy anymore. H Drunk drivers kill people. They have to be treated differently than other addicts for that reason but nonetheless they are victims of a hereditary illness just as are those who suffer from diabetes or sickle cell anemia. I can choose 10 typical lives of children I have known over the past 30 years who have been victims of the weed or other non-alcoholic drugs. All of them were highly principled, attractive, generous and loved by all. They have lost anything from 10 year?' of maturing to loss of freedom, loss of life, loss of respect, loss of productivity and loss of love. They did not seek this misfortune, it just happened to them. Most lose a little time, and regret it, but some unfortunates are still losing and almost as if they have no other choice. I started this article because I heard the joke about old Uncle Ed. I do not even know if there was an Uncle Ed or not. I got carried away and upon review I am in a fix on how to end this column. Since I am not a court judge nor prosecutor I cannot criticize; circumstances and experience weigh their decisions. I have heard lawmen say: “They had their chance,” or: “They broke the law and I arrest them, I’m not into social work.” The message, I hope, is that there is no evil in most of these victims. There is still love, genius and generosity dormant inside, waiting to get out. They need help, even if it has to be forced upon them, and I wish everyone would care. i i

B4 Rappahannock News, Washington, Va. Thursday, April 9,1992 Recipes for homemade bread contributed by farm women By HELEN W. SMITH ■UMwnannock New* Contributing Writer If you love the taste of homemade bread, I have just the recipes for you. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate to attend the Rappahannock Farmers Association dinner at Rappahannock Elementary School. The entire meal - prepared by local cooks - was delicious. I thought the homemade breads were especially tasty, so I asked one of the breadbakers who contributed to the dinner to share his recipes in my nutrition column. Nutritional value: Breads and cereals are one of the four basic food groups that should be eaten every day. Four or more servings of whole grain or enriched breads and cereals are recommended for children and adults each day. Enriched breads and cereals give us carbohydrates for energy, protein for growth and repair of body tissues, iron which helps build rich red blood cells, and the B-vitamins which we need for normal appetite and digestion, a healthy nervous system and to help change sugar and starches into energy. Ingredients: There are six basic ingredients in bread, and each serves a function in making yeast bread. 1. Yeast - Yeast leavens the bread. It makes the dough rise and gives it a light texture. Yeast is a living plant that feeds on the sugar in the dough, producing carbon dioxr -A-1 HOME ECONOMICS ide gas that makes dough rise. It also gives breads delicious flavor and aroma. 2. Flour - The type and quality of flour greatly influences the final breads. Wheat flour is used to make bread because it has a protein called gluten. When flour is stirred and kneaded with liquid, the gluten stretches to form the structure of the loaf. All purpose flour and bread flour are wheat flours. Whole wheat and rye flours have less gluten than white flour. This is why the breads are heavier and smaller. They are best used in combination with white flour. To measure flour, spoon or pour into dry measuring cup. Level off with spatula or straight-edged knife. Do not tap or shake flour as this results in measuring too much flour for a recipe and could produce a dense. Tver’s • “Seems closer with each visit.” — Phyllis C. Richman The Washington Post.

Liquid - The usual liquids used in making breads are milk, water, and water in which potatoes have been cooked. Water makes breads crusty. Milk gives them a soft crust and a creamy white crumb. All liquids must be used at the proper temperature: 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit for regular yeast and 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit for the rapid-rise yeast. Use a thermometer to check temperature. Hotter liquids will kill the yeast. 4. Sugar - Sugar is the food the yeast needs to make the gas which causes the bread to rise. It also helps the crust brown and adds flavor. White sugar, molasses, brown sugar and honey can be used. 5. Salt - Salt controls the action of the yeast, slowing the rising time and allowing the flavor development to take place. If you omit the salt, the dough will be sticky and the bread will have a yeasty flavor. 6. Fat - Margarine, butter, salad oils, or shortening make breads tender, keep them soft, and give them a soft, silky crumb. In addition to the above ingredients, some recipes call for eggs. Eggs add flavor and improve the structure so that breads can be richer and more nutritious. (Note: if someone is cutting back on eggs and cholesterol in their diet, they should choose recipes for French bread, English muffins, bagels, or a recipe with no egg in it or use two egg whites in place of one whole egg. Other ingredients - Herbs and spices, nuts and fruits add flavor, variety and food value to your breads. They slow the rising time, so are used sparingly. Keep it fresh tips: Homemade yeast bread tends to go stale faster than bread you buy. To retain freshness, cool it completely; then wrap in plastic wrap or foil and seal in plastic bag, and store it at room temperature - bread goes stale faster in the fridge. Or, freezer-wrap the bread and freeze it; use within three months. If you slice the bread before freezing, the frozen slices can be toasted without thawing them first. To thaw a whole loaf, unwrap it and let stand at room temperature 2-3 hours. Or wrap in foil and thaw in a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven 20 minutes. The following recipes were submitted by Richard Abell. Whole wheat dinner rolls These rolls go with most dinners and, with whole wheat flour, they have a nice chewy consistency. They freeze well and can be kept for weeks in the freezer. This recipe uses no eggs, no cream or butter and may therefore be gobbled down by those who need to be on a low-cholesterol diet. Ingredients: 3 tbl. active dry yeast 6- 8 tbl. honey 6 c. warm water 7- 9 c. unbleached white bread flour 2-4 c. whole wheat flour 8 tbl. canola or com oil Steakhouse nrk\iw yrnii j ALL YOU CARE TO EAT Seafood Feast Alaskan Crab Legs, Steamed Shrimp, Fried Clams Fried Shrimp and Catfish Lunch and Dinner Special 703-635-1780 located 100 yards from Skyline Drive entrance, Front Royal, Va 2 c. dried skim milk Place one cup of the warm water in a large mixing bowl with the yeast and honey. Stir until dissolved. Proof the yeast. Add remaining warm water and about half the flour. Add dried skim milk and stir vigorously until well mixed. Add oil and stir. Finally add remaining flour, more or less as needed, until dough is stiff. Remove to floured bread board and knead vigorously for 15-20 minutes, sifting on white flour until dough is elastic and loses it stickiness. Return to large bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down dough and remove from bowl. Knead briefly, then cut off a piece the size of a baseball, roll it out with your hands into a long, slender cylinder about one-inch in diameter. Cut off one-inch sections, roll between hands into round balls and place close together in rectangular greased baking dish until dish is full. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until dough has almost doubled in size. Remove plastic and place in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes until lightly browned on top. Remove to cooling racks. Continue this process until all the dough has been used. Serve rolls warm. They should be tightly double-wrapped for freezing. This recipe will make about 8 dozen rolls. Note: This recipe can also be used for making hamburger rolls. Pat dough until approximately 1/2inch thick and cut into four-inch circles. Bake for about 20 minutes. Whole wheat French style bread This is one of the easiest and quickest yeast breads one can make. The whole wheat flour in the loaf helps to keep it fresh for much longer than French bread made exclusively with white flour. It is excellent fresh out of the oven or when it is cooled, or when reheated. It freezes well and can be kept for weeks in the freezer if tightly wrapped in double plastic bags. Ingredients: 4 c. very warm water 3 tbl. active dry yeast 2 tbl. honey 3-4 teas, salt 5-7 c. unbleached white bread flour 5-6 c. whole wheat flour White of one egg mixed with 1 tbl. cold water Yellow corn meal Pour the very warm water (not so hot you can’t leave your finger in it) into a large mixing bowl. Stir in honey and yeast. Set aside until it proofs. Add equal parts of white and whole wheat flour and the salt and stir until a stiff dough develops. Remove from pan and knead on a floured surface for 15-20 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as necessary to produce a dough that is flexible and is no longer sticky. Return to bowl and cover until it rises, doubling in bulk. Punch down and remove to lightly floured bread board. Grease four long French loaf pans and then sprinkle lightly with com meal. Divide dough into four equal parts and knead each one briefly before rolling out long loaves between your hands. Twist dough and place in plans, slashing each several times diagonally with a sharp knife. Brush pans in a cold oven and bake at 375-400 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. Remove and cool on racks. Makes 4 long loaves.
