Panthers take 2nd in district tourney The Rappahannock High girls softball team gave up seven runs in the sixth inning of the Bull Run District Tournament’s championship game Friday, and that was all the Strasburg Rams needed to put it away, 10-5. Rappahannock was ahead 5-3 going into the sixth, but three hits by the Rams and four errors by the Panthers provided the game’s margin. Strasburg scored their last five runs with two out.

The newest proposed location for the post office is in the present More gas station on property east of the Amissville Fire Hall. It is presently zoned rural residential. The planners recommended it be rezoned to village commercial but only if the post office is located there. The gas station has been a non-conforming use on the location. Planning Commission member Werner Krebser asked that the minutes reflect that the recommended rezoning not be considered as setting a precedent for other commercial zoning on the north side of U.S. 211. He said the rezoning was recommended only because the site already contains a non-conforming commercial use. This time when the planners took up the Bleu Rock’s expansion request sill the principals were in attendance. Douglas Baumgardner, representing the owners, said they were requesting a modification to the existing special exception to allow 12 more rooms of overnight accommodations and a banquet facility to seat up to 160 persons. They also wished to put in up to two tennis courts and riding facilities and to provide the needed additional parking. Mr. Baumgardner said the buildings would be larger “but not a major departure from what is there now.” He said the proposal would not be opening the door for commercial use because “as a resort lodge facility, it takes advantage of and is dependent on the rural setting. If a facility like this were to convert itself into a Holiday Inn, it would destroy itself,” he added. He presented the planners with a list of 16 current employees at the Bleu Rock and their addresses. All but two are county residents, he said. He also had a list of local businesses used by Bleu Rock and a list of local charities helped by the company. He also presented a petition signed by nearby neighbors. “Although there is some opposition,” he said, “It is by no means unanimous. Those opposed are a small minority.” Mr. Baumgardner also offered the planners a statement signed by the owners, Jean and Bernard Sm PLANNERS, p. A-5 Robb sidesteps controversy at convention By BILL WALSH ArCom Newspapers Staff Writer Sen. Charles S. Robb, D-Va., delivered the keynote speech to the 10th District Democratic Committee convention in Warrenton on May 23, and managed to skirt any mention of either his intensifying feud with fellow Democrat, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, or of the federal probe into possible abuses of power within his office. Sen. Robb, in fact, shifted some of the blame for his troubles with Gov. Wilder onto the media. “I issued a statement yesterday,” he told reporters after the speech, “and I said I hoped that we would put all that behind us as quickly as possible, and if you keep asking questions [about the Wilder feud] you make it a little more difficult to get the message across.” Asked if the breach with Gov. Wilder could be healed, Sen. Robb said: “. . .if you would just ask a different question the next time, or after three or four r days figure that we’ve pretty well exhausted that line of inquiry, and work on some of the things that we’ve working on substantively . . . that will help us, frankly, because the personal relationship, believe it or not, between the two of us has been very good over a long period of time.” Sen. Robb said that he had spoken with Gov. Wilder, and said that “it is my hope that we will be able to re-establish the kind of working relationship that, frankly, we’ve had for this whole past year. This was just one little bump in what had been a very good relationship," he said. Sen. Robb’s speech at Fauquier High School centered on why it is important to be a Democrat, on why it is important for the party to understand people’s unhappiness with government and with the direction in which the nation seems to be heading. The signs of this unhappiness are everywhere, he said. “An awful lot of people in this country right now are turned off by politics and they think that the country is going in the wrong direction. As Democrats, that ought to be a real concern to us, and we want to try and figure out why it is that we can, in good faith, say that we ought to elect a Democratic President of the United States," he said. He noted that Republicans have become a party of nay-sayers, denouncing government without recognizing the important and helpful role that it can play. This contributes to the sense of frustration and anxiety that has become so pervasive across the nation. “It is not enough just to be anti-government,” Sen. Robb said. “Government can be part of the solution. Government has a role for all of us.” But that government to which people can turn with good result needs to be defined by good, strong, principled leadership, leadership with a sense of vision and See ROBB, p.

From reductions in state funds for local education to the highest unemployment rate in the planning district, Rappahannock has been impacted by the recession. Like the rest of Northern Virginia, the county first felt the economic downturn in reduced construction employment and lower real estate sales. In 1989 the building office issued 75 permits for new home construction at an average cost of $117,000. By 1990 the number was down to 62 permits with an average cost of $85,000. In 1991 the number of permits dropped even more to 49, but the average cost was back up to $101,000. Through mid-April of this year the building office issued 14 permits for new house construction at an average cost of $92,000. Building inspector Richie Burke said that local contractors have lost Sm ECONOMY, p.A-7 l

CRIME & PUNISHMENT Woman charged with shooting airplane Susan Eaton, 45, of Mountain High Farm, Route 671, Sperryville, has been charged with two felonies idler she allegedly shot a crop dusting airplane in the sky above Sperryville last Thursday. According to Rappahannock Sheriff John H. Woodward, Eaton is charged with interfering with the operation of an aircraft by shooting it, and destruction of private property. Both are felonies. The Sheriffs Office received a phone call from pilot Jim Hubbard of Lancaster, Va. at about 3 p.m. May 21. Mr. Hubbard had been spraying a field of barley in Sperryville when he was shot at, said the sheriff. He flew back to Culpeper Airport and called police, giving them a description of the woman and the location. Eaton was arrested later that evening. The airplane, said the sheriff, had more than 80 holes from shotgun pellets. As one shell contains many pellets, the sheriff said he did not know how many times the plane was hit. In other police and court news this week: • Robert Smith, 50, of Sperryville was hospitalized last week after his moving pickup truck was hit by a bear on U.S. 522, 100 feet south of Route 641, according to Sgt.

According to Smith’s daughter Connie Owens, he was expected to return home last weekend after a stint in the Winchester Hospital. Xrays revealed no broken bones, but she said he was extremely sore and bruised. There have been several sightings of a rather large bear in the Flint Hill area in recent weeks. It may be the same animal involved in the accident, said Mrs. Owens. • A sailor, AWOL from the U.S. Navy, is a suspect in the series of break-ins in Old Hollow, according to William Cardwell, supervisory park ranger for the U.S. Park Service, stationed at Piney River in Shenandoah National Forest. Franklin Wheeler, 31, of Connecticut, “is someone we . . . suspect is in the park,” said Mr. Cardwell. His picture has been distributed to park workers and local sheriff’s offices, but is not being released to the news media, said Mr. Cardwell. He emphasized that Wheeler is only a suspect at this time in the series of burglaries that have taken place in Old Hollow during the last two weeks. “We don’t know for sure that Wheeler is involved,” said Mr. Cardwell. He also confirmed that Panorama Restaurant on U.S. 211 was broken into recently, and that break-in is being investigated as possibly done by the same person who has broken into homes in Old Hollow. A saw was used in the Panorama break-in, and a saw was used in one of the Old Hollow burglaries. Wheeler left the Navy after his marriage dissolved, said Mr. Cardwell. He worked in electronics. • Danny Huff, 19, of Flint Hill, and a 19-year-old passenger were both injured in a single-vehicle accident on Route 610, 100 feet west of Route 670, at 10:30 p.m. May 21, according to Sgt.

Garden Club earns four major statewide honors By BETTY SMITH Rappahannock Ncw« Contributing Writer Rappahannock County Garden Club president Marian White opened the May 20 meeting with the proud statement that the club took major honors at the recent state convention: four district awards for scholarship, yearbook, newsletter, and club publications; the state award for Christmas open house; and a certificate of excellence for club accomplishments for the year. The Rappahannock Club competes with 76 District clubs and 376 statewide. Following the business meeting, members etyoyed a presentation by Virginia artist and color authority Linda Lewis Taylor. As a master judge of flower shows, Mrs. Taylor judged the club’s May exhibits of flower arrangements in water and horticulture specimens. Blue ribbons went to Betty Wood, Edna Metzinger, Celine Siira, Marian White, Helen Bridges, Helen Smith, and Barbara Colvin. Spring was a busy time for the club. In April, two truckloads of trash were picked up along the Adopt-a-Highway section of Route 231. In early May the club continued its tradition of beautifying the Courthouse grounds and window boxes. This year it added the grounds of the Library, planting shrubs and ground cover. Members appreciated the assistance of trustees from the local jail for the heavier work. Trustees also endured the rain to turn over ground for additional garden area at the Library for the Junior Garden Club. Various perennials now join the bulb garden beneath the big rock along the drive. In mid-May, a memorial service was held on the lawns of the Courthouse to remember members’ loved ones who passed away during the year. Illustrator, author J.R.

The Individual Assistance Program, which was approved by the president, provides such aid as disaster housing assistance, small business loans, assistance for agricultural losses, and individual and family grants. The Public Assistance Program, also ap proved, provides funding to repair public-owned facilities such as roads, bridges, and water and sewer systems. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Virginia Department of Emergency Services will be working cooperatively to deliver these disaster assistance programs. Federal and state recovery teams have established a Disaster Field Office in Roanoke and will open Disaster Application Centers (DACs) in Salem, Vinton and Buena Vista. Citizens with flood damage may also apply for assistance by calling the teleregistration line at 1-800462-9029. For persons equipped with telecommunications devices for the deaf (TDD), call 1-800-462-7586. Hours are from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday. Persons applying for disaster assistance should have their social security number, telephone number, some simple directions for getting to their home, and knowledge of their insurance coverage. Applications will be accepted over the teleregistration line through July 18. An information hotline has also been established for any disaster-related questions at 1-800-258-3895. Editor, staff reporter announce resignations This marks the final issue for two staff members at the Rappahannock News. Editor Mark Scolforo and reporter Lisa G. Currie are leaving the paper after this week and will be working at other publications. Mr. Scolforo, 27, of Sperryville, leaves the News after 15 months as its editor. Prior to that he spent more than three years on the staff of the Fauquier Times-Democrat in Warrenton, also an ArCom Newspapers publication. Mr. Scolforo has been hired as a copy editor for the York Dispatch and York Sunday News in York, Pa., an 80,000-circulation daily paper. He is a 1982 graduate of Fauquier High School and a 1987 graduate of the University of Chicago. He was hired as a police reporter at the Times-Democrat in 1987, and he had previously worked for the paper during summers as a sports stringer. Mr. Scolforo covered the Fauquier school system, the police and court beats, local governments in The Plains, Warrenton and Remington, and wrote a column, “Seems to Me.” In April 1989 he was named assistant editor. His duties included supervising the sports and lifestyle sections of that paper. After almost two years as the Times-Democrat’s assistant editor he was promoted to the position of editor of the Rappahannock News in February 1991. During his almost five years with ArCom Newspapers, Mr. Scolforo received Virginia Press Association awards for editorial writing, column writing, business writing, spot news writing and design. Mr. Scolforo’s father, attorney Lt. Col. Leo J. Scolforo Jr., lives in The Plains. His nine brothers and sisters all live in Fauquier County and Northern Virginia. Mrs. Currie, 31, of Toms Brook, joined the News part-time in February 1989, and has written feature stories, business stories, and contributed to design.

Applicant pained by board's . action concerning windows By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N#wi Staff Writer The Washington Architectural Review Board turned down a request by Claybert Smoot to replace four-pane windows in his house with ones with two panes. Mr. Smoot brought a sample of the window he wanted to the ARB meeting last Thursday. Member Evelyn Willis noted that he was proposing a window with one pane over one pane, while his house has windows that have two panes over two panes. Chairman Donna Kevis noted that the ARB had allowed Mr. Smoot to cover his house with vinyl siding at last month’s meeting. “We’re really losing your house if we let the windows go too,” she said. Mr. Smoot said he had been unable to find wooden thermopane win 4-H camps start in Chester Gap For two successful years, the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center near Chester Gap has provided 4-H Youth Special Interest camping programs in addition to the county camping program. The 4-H Special Interest Camps strengthen the positive impacts on youth development while expanding educational opportunities with a variety of theme-oriented programs. This year the center is offering another summer season of outstanding Special Interest Camps. “The Special Interest Camps are successful because they are designed around the youths’ specific interests,” said Helen Smith, Rappahannock County Extension agent. “Besides, they are not only educational, but extremely fun as well.” The fun begins June 12-14 with the popular Fresh Water Fisheries Camp; Horse Camp begins June 1418, Science Camp June 21-25, and Creative Performing Arts Camp June28-July 2. Favorite programs returning are Teen Camp July 5-9 and High Adventure Camp July 12-16. Several specialty camps include the Senior Adult Camp arriving July 24-26; Top Brass, a camp for cancer siblings, Aug. 2-6; Cloverbud III: Parent/Child Camp Aug. 7-9; and Cloverbud I and II, camps for youth ages 6-6 years and ages 7-8 years, .

The ARB members suggested several manufacturers and dealers he could contact. The board approved applications by Mrs. Willis and member Edward Barton. Mrs. Willis requested approval for a hanging brass light on the porch of Rare Finds, her antique shop. She showed the members a picture of the fixture. Mr. Barton won approval for painting two out-buildings at his property, The Meadows. They will be painted white with black roofs to match the paint colors on the main house. He also won approval for replacing parts of the fence around the property with identical three-board fencing, painted white. A fourth application, by Mary Sullivan Mann, contract purchaser of the Foster-Harris House, was not considered because Ms. Mann was not present at the meeting. Her application was for fencing also. The board adopted a budget for the coming year of $1,800. This would cover the costs of secretarial help, copies of documents and applications, books on historic buildings for the library and possible re imbursement for costs of attending seminars and meetings outside the county. Mrs. Kevis reported that she had received a reply from Hadco, on questions about the lighting favored by the ARB. The lights would cost $445 each with an additional $112 for the mounting bracket. The company said the lights were guaranteed fdr three years, but the bulbs are expected to last five years, the ballast for 15 to 20 years and the fixture for 25 years. The ARB decided to have a sample of the light installed in townv‘ The board was unable to take any action on pre-approved paint colors because member Dwight Matthews said he had received larger paint samples from only one of the three companies he contacted. As the board was preparing to adjourn Bob Etchells came in to show the members changes he wants to make in plans for a house he is building on Piedmont Ave. The members looked at his plans anil thanked him for the information but said he would have to make a formal application at the zoning administrator’s office and come back to the next meeting.

We’ve all passed a work crew and wondered why so many of them seem to be watching, not doing, work. It’s a fair question in good times, but during a recession it’s even more important for taxpayers to ask how their money is being spent. According to a recent study, the pay of public workers in the state rose considerably faster than that of workers in the private sector during the last decade. Teachers, particularly, were the recipients of year after year of dramatic pay boosts. Without debating if that was enough or too much, we wonder how much taxpayers are supposed to come up with before our public workers feel they are adequately paid. The answer is, there is no limit. The workers themselves long ago abandoned any self-restraint in their demands—as half of the adversarial system of negotiation, teachers and other public employees find they have to insist on the most outlandish demands, hoping they get at least part of what they ask for. The easiest place to lay blame is on the legal community—with more lawyers than any other country, they find clients who didn’t even know they had a beef. Any discussion of the compensation of public employees, however, should make note of the fact that the increase in teachers’ pay during the ’80s was designed to bring the state’s average teacher’s salary up from near the bottom in comparison with other states. The effort worked, and as a result Virginia was able to attract and keep higher quality educators. Having given teachers six-, seven- apd eight-pcrcenKpay raises year after year in the last decade,) taxpayers neemto step back and wonder what the ideal pay scale looks-mfirWe may be approaching it; we may have already exceeded it. After adjusting for inflation, wages and salaries of private employees rose an average of 13.3 percent in the 1980s. Local government employees in Virginia saw pay increases, on average, of 18.7 percent during that same decade. But state workers, over the 10 years, received a bonanza of 23.2 percent. Public employees also get better fringe benefits, more holidays, longer paid vacations and more generous sick leave packages. And just try to fire one because of incompetence. They’ve got better job security than the pope. Voters should remember all of this in November, when the legislature’s $600 million bond issues go before the electorate. The General Assembly can’t say no to its own staff, then wants to cop out and get the voters to bless a half-billion in public projects. If a little more restraint was shown by Richmond toward its own bureaucracy, maybe the legislators could fluid a few more of these items out the general fund. * WILDER/ROBB continued OHWELLf BOYS WILL BOYS // YEA / L-l AND DEMOCRATS WILL BE DEMO CRATS/ Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage A wet spring has been good to the livestock in Flint Hill. Taking money from workers To the Editor: Foreign aid has been permitted by the American people because it has a humanitarian ring to it. But there is nothing humanitarian about taking money from hard-working Americans and giving it to foreign governments. Most of the foreign aid money is taken to taxation from middle end lower income Americans. Sending it to government leaders means that foreign aid takes money from poorer people in this rich country and gives it to the richest people in poor countries. Right now, the Bush Administration wants to send billions to Russia and the other nations of the former Soviet Union. Giving them aid will provide the funds needed to keep their huge bureaucracies in place. It will also assure that changes needed to give these long-oppressed peoples what they both want and deserve will not occur. Foreign aid goes to nations that buy goods from other nations receiving foreign aid. We subsidize their industries and keep them in competition with American firms. The aid they get lowers their production costs and enables them to undersell American producers. And we wonder why Americans have lost their jobs. For over 40 years, we have financed wars between nations which never would have occurred if we hadn’t given them money to purchase weapons. One result is that aid given to one nations makes other nations hate us. And now, with the U.S. deficit expected to be $400 billion this year, it’s time to stop all foreign aid completely. The John Birch Society has a petition to our leaders to put an end to this costly and counterproductive practice. DR. JAMES B. HUTTJR. Warrenton How RAWL To the Editor: Since December 1991, the county has contributed $400 per month to Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL). Along with contributions and donations made to RAWL, this money is used to pay an Animal Shelter manager, an assistant who is employed to assist in euthanizing, to buy dog food, and to provide medical attention to dogs when necessary. RAWL was very fortunate to find a veterinarian to volunteer to do euthanizing for us when necessary. Addressing the increase that RAWL requested, even if an employee were only working a bare minimum of four hours per day for seven days a week, totalling 28 hours per week at $5 per hour, that alone would cost $660 per month, much over the $400 per month that the county currently contributes. Obviously this does not include any labor for keeping the shelter open to the public. In addition, the shelter has eight runs, so even assuming that there are only eight dogs in those eight runs at $1 per day for food, you’re looking at $224 per month for food, regardless if an animal has been Letter from the editor Dear readers: I’ve edited so many thank-you letters during the past 4Vs yeare with the Fauquier Times-Democrat and the Rappahannock News that you’d think this would be easy. But you don’t leave a place like Rappahannock County without a measure of sadness. This is my last issue as editor of this paper. Next week I start my new job in York, Pa. with the York Dispatch and York Sunday News as a copy editor. But before I leave, I want to thank just a few of the many people who have helped me, personally and professionally, during the last few years. First of all, I owe a special debt of gratitude to Dick- and Nancy Johnson for reasons too numerous to list. And the Arun del family—particularly Wendy, Peter, Nick and Peggy—has provided me with some wonderful opportunities and plenty of encouragement. To Lisa Currie, Cindy Mahan and Sharon Kilpatrick, I deeply appreciate your patience and your hard work. You three have been willing to try new things and I couldn’t have asked for more productive journalists. Barbara Burke, Ann Brown and Cathy Pullen in the office also deserve special thanks. Good luck breaking in the new editor, whoever he or she may be. Rappahannock County is blessed with some of the most beautiful landscape in the world. But it’s the people here, most of all, that I will miss. Thank you all for some wonderful memories. there five days or 10 days. Whether it’s the same animal or not is irrelevant, because they all eat the same amount of food. When you calculate $560 per month for an employee for the barest number of hours, and add to that $224 per month for dog food, the total is $784, well over the $400 that RAWL receives from the county. These figures only take into account a portion of the expenses of running a shelter. Other expenses include cleaning supplies, office supplies and labor for state-required recordkeeping, and inoculations to prevent the spread of contagious, fa tal diseases; keeping in mind that a lot of dogs which are brought to the shelter have been “on the road,” they often require medical attention of some type, which RAWL provides from our own shoestring budget. We wanted to show the public that the $100 per month increase that we have asked for is just increasing what it partially costs to run a shelter, and does not by any means take into account all of the expenses associated with the management of an animal shelter. KIMBERLY NOVAK Castleton Senator Robb battles the tale of the tape By JOHN GOOLRICK So now, in the Old Dominion, often cited for its integrity in government, we have our own miniWatergate. What did the senator know and when did he know it? And like Watergate, which began with a two-bit burglary, some of the federal laws that may have been broken aren’t easily comprehended by the public when they try to understand what prosecutors are alleging and read about plea bargains engineered by defense attorneys. Alter all, this is no Abscam where we had videotapes of Sen. Harrison Williams and Rep. John Jenrette eaglery accepting bags of money from fake emissaries of nonexistent Arab sheiks. There are no allegations that Sen. Charles Robb or any of his former staff members took bribes or peddled influence. And, ironically enough, the one person who did something that practically everyone can recognize as illegal is getting off practically scot free. Hist’s the former friend of Sen. Politics Old * Dominion Robb’s whose hobby was secretly taping conversations he picked up from car phones, including a now famous conversation between Gov. Douglas Wilder and a developer friend in which Gov. Wilder said Sen. Robb was finished politically because of allegations while governor he attended parties where cocaine was used. The friend passed that tape on to Sen. Robb’s Senate office, where it was kept for two and a half years before, when relations between Gov. Wider and Sen. Robb went steadily down hill, it was finally leaked to the press:' Though that action was meant to hurt Gov. Wilder's credibility, the result was just the opposite. "Die uproar forced Sen. Robb to suspend three of his top aides and now one by one all of them have entered into deals with government prosecutors for misdeameanor convictions instead of risking felony trials. And Sen. Robb, in a dramatic recent development, is now reportedly the target of a grand jury investigation as to whether he lied when he testified before that body last year. I# a coverup is suspected, we have shades of Watergate. Certainly, the fact a sitting U.S. senator is under such scrutiny indicates prosecutors are itching for an indictment and have permission to proceed from the U.S. attorney general and probably the president. But where’s the smoking gun? That answer may come from Davie McCloud, Sen. Robb’s loyal chief of staff for many years, who now, like H.R. Haldeman, seems prepared to abandon ship. By the time you read this he may already have arranged a plea bargain that will result in a couple of misdemeanor convictions. Some Republican leaders are already urging Sen. Robb to resign, but the troubled senator is making no comment, except to say through a spokesman he will be vindicated. * But if the grand jury feels otherwise Sen. Robb may remain under a cloud for some time to come, though it will still be tough for many to understand what the various transgressions were. Most everybody for example, had trouble believing Sen. Robb when he said while alone in a hotel room with a former Miss Virginia he took off his clothes and got a massage but that was as far as it went. The denial simply didn’t seem credible. But the difficult thing to explain is the tape of the Wilder conversation. We are told it was a federal offense for the conversation to be recorded but not a violation for Sen. Robb’s people to accept the tape and keep it but illegal to let reporters transcribe it and maybe illegal to even tell anyone about it. And, of course, it’s clearly illegal to falsify testimony before a grand jury. One thing is certain: Richard Nixon allegedly said he wished he’d burned those damned tapes, and Chuch Robb and three former staffers undoubtedly wish they had destroyed the small cassette which has caused them so much grief. (John Goolrick, a former political reporter ie now an aide to 7th District U.S. Rep. George Allen, RVo. Opinions expressed are his own.—Ed.)

Planners Continued from page A-1 Campagne, offering to let high school students use the tennis courts for practices and matches for a tennis team or club, and students on the cross-country team use the perimeters of the property provided that such uses “not interfere with the use ... by the patrons of the Bleu Rock Inn.” Before the Campagnes purchased the Bleu Rock property, it was used by the cross country team. Since then the school has had to use other property. The course used last year won’t be available next year because much of it is on land that is part of the current four-laning project for U.S. 211-622. The high school has no tennis team or club, but other schools in the district do field tennis teams. Mr. Baumgardner argued that the application meets the requirements for a special exception and would be an asset to the community. He said a facility like the banquet hall is needed in the county. “How often have you gone to a wedding in Rappahannock and then gone into Culpeper or Front Royal for the reception?” he asked the planners. Steve Biegel, the Warrenton architect who is designing the buildings, said the owners had three proposals they were considering and would like to work with the planners. “We want to let you know that we are flexible,” Mr. Biegel said. “My hope is to create something compatible with what is there. The Bleu Rock is a very special place.” The drawings for the first proposal showed the view from the west. The drawings for the other proposals showed the view from the south. Mr. Biegal said it would be too ex pensive at this point to show all four sides of all three proposals. The first drawing primarily showed the 12 additional rooms. The other two showed variations of the front of the banquet facility. He said the additional rooms would be built to the north of the present building to take advantage of the views to the north and west. Jean Campagne said he and his brother had brought the property seven years ago and had put a lot of work into it. “We’re getting it back now with the success of the Bleu Rock,” he said. He said they have to turn down people who want to stay at the inn most weekends. He said on Saturday May 16, then had a wedding with 110 people present and then served 120 for dinner. “I asked my neighbors if they had heard noises,” he said. “We try very hard,” he said. “We want to grow the way the county wants us to grow.” Mr. Campagne said he did not expect the banquet room to be used very often to its fullest capacity, but he would expect to use it also for smaller groups divided into meeting space and dining space or perhaps display space. u of the Bleu Rock. He said, “I am opposed to commercial development along (U.S.) 211 to Sperryville.” He said that by using the special exception process the county could have control over growth. He said he owns land on the mountain behind the Bleu Rock. “Everything they have done has been beautiful,” he said. He said businesses like the Bleu Rock add to the county’s tax base without the look of most commercial growth. Mark Malek said the board of directors of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection opposed the Bleu Rock expansion and felt such a commercial venture should be located in the general commercial district. Uli Maeyer, who lives on the farm west of the Bleu Rock, said he had supported the original Bleu Rock proposal but felt the expansion would mean “a big commercial busiRobert Bridges spoke in si Farmers urged to list crops Rappahannock farmers are reminded that now is the time to report the sizes and intended uses of their 1990 intended crops. Crop reporting is necessary before the fanner can qualify for deficiency payments, price support loans and other farm program benefits. Fanners participating in this year’s acreage reduction programs are required to report crops and acreages planted, the uses to be made of the crops, cropland acres to be devoted to the acreage conservation reserve and acres diverted for payment. Growers not participating in thp programs should report their acreages to ensure future benefits and protect acreage bases. Acreage reports may be filed Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the local ASCS office on Gay Street in Washington, Va. Rappahannock County producers are encouraged to certify crops as soon as possible but no later than June 1 for small grains, and July 1 for all other crop reports. ness next to us. We don’t need a Greenbriar over there. Rappahannock is too beautiful to have it destroyed for personal financial interest." He said he is a light sleeper who is easily disturbed. He said the expansion would take away his view and privacy. "They would build a big resort to attract more people and more crowds. 160 people is a lot of people," he said. Dick McNear said he disagreed with Mr. Baumgardner’s contention that the expansion meets the standards of the Zoning Ordinance. "The size and scale are out of character for the area," he said. He said the 12room addition “looks like a motel 1 with a peaked roof.” Mr. McNear said he felt such a facility would be appropriate on a 400-acre or larger property, but not on one of 80 acres. “How much is too much is your legislative decision,” he said. He suggested that if the planners approved the application, they set several conditions on it. He suggested that they provide that the lighting not be visible to surrounding properties, and that conditions be set on the times music would be played. He suggested that patrons not be allowed to ride horses without a member of the staff present who would make certain they stayed on the property. Finally he asked that the public be allowed to review the final conditions. Mitzie Young said she felt the expansion would not be a proper use of the land. When no one alse in the audience wanted to discuss the application, the planners began their discussion. Dr. Krebser asked what had happened to winery originally planned for the property. Bernard Campagne said they had planned a winery, but now felt the machinery necessary for such an operation would not be what the guests want to look at. Dr. Krebser said he estimated the expansion planned would cost between $1.2 and $1.3 million. “You would have to have a lot of people here to pay this off. This is a commercial venture, not a country lodge," he said. He suggested that such a proposal would fit into the General Commercial zone very well, but if it was located in an agricultural zone, “there would be no way to turn down a conference center anywhere in the county.” John Clark Jr. said he could see both sides of the question. He said he was very familiar with both the Bleu Rock and Maeyer properties and could visualize the 12-room addition. “It looks like a long row of town houses. I would hate to see that go up,” he said. He said the property was in an ideal location for such a facility, “but how do you turn down the next guy? This is a major application. I cannot recommend it in its present form.” Mr. Baumgardner then asked if the application could be continued until later to modifyHhe architectural plans and come in with a set of conditions. He said his clients would agree to readvertise the further conditions. The planners then voted 5 to 1 to continue consideration of the application until a later meeting. Dr. Krebser voted “No.”. 30 YEARS AGO May 31,1962 Rappahannock County Planning Commission held a meeting May 24th at 8 p.m. in the Moffett Building in Washington, Va. Members of this Commission were appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Present were H.S. Barksdale, C.E. Johnson, Jr., E.M. Jones, Gen. Daniel Noce, and Capt. L.B. Stuart. Mr. Jones acted as chairman pro-tem. Gen. Noce was nominated for chairman of the commission by Mr. Johnson and was unanimously elected. Nominated as vice-chairman was Capt.

They are invited to enter a month-long competition for prizes and publicity by Flint Hill’s bed and breakfast. As you protect and decorate your garden for 1992, design and assemble your scarecrow to perform for another month. Caledonia Farm B&B invites it to adorn a steel stake from Oct. 3 through Oct. 31. Entries will line the entrance drive in front of the newly rebuilt dry-stack stone fence. The display of Rappahannock creativity will be judged on Halloween by a panel of presumed experts without requiring any evidence of having effectively deterred crows. Cash prizes will be $100, $75, $50 and $25. Total hospitality gift certificates may be substituted. All entries will receive a bottle of Alpenglow or .wine from Farfelu or Oasis. Caledonia Farm B&B’s host, Phil Irwin, has admired the many Rappahannock scarecrows since he adopted the county over 30 years ago. “They should not be forgotten just because the gardening season ends.” He adds, “While we haven’t recognized a crow problem along our driveway, this year photographers might be.” Criteria for scarecrow entries include having fairly adorned a productive Rappahannock garden during the summer of 1992, be mountable on a six-foot stake, approximate human dimensions and WEEKEND SPECIALS *315°?

CURRIE Rappahannock New. Staff Writer There is just no place in Rappahannock County like the Flint Hill Public House. Nowhere else in Rappahannock County serves 22 different Virginia wines, including their house wine. Nowhere else offers a pub-type atmosphere for an evening drink or appetizer. And there is nowhere else that offers formal evening dining on one side and comfortable afternoon lunches and dinner meals on the other. ‘There is just noplace else like it,” said owner and new proprietor Robin Koneczny. Mrs. Koneczny and her husband, Conrad, opened the new restaurant on U.S. 522 in Flint Hill, previously the site of The Schoolhouse Restaurant, on May 5 after a month of redecoration. The Hume couple, owners of White Eagle Vineyards in Fauquier County, moved to the area four years ago in hopes of opening a gourmet deli shop. Over a casual dinner conversation with friend and owner of The Schoolhouse Restaurant Sheila O’Brien, a long-term lease was signed. “It just happened,” said Mr. Koneczny, adding the gourmet deli shop was shifted to the back burner and plans for their new restaurant were put into action. Familiar with restaurant managment from years consulting and wine distributing wine in D.C. and New York, Mr. Koneczny’s experience with the business came first-hand. “It’s management by crisis,” he said with a smile. But crisis isn’t on the menu at The Flint Hill Public House. With eight persons on the waiting staff, two bartenders, a threeman kitchen staff and a chef, Stephen Canard, with background experience at The Trellis in Williamsburg and The Cherry Hill Inn in New Jersey, the newest dinning establishment in Rappahannock County is offering not only lunch menus and informal dining but also high-quality formal dining. Upstairs, the restaurant offers one of the only conference facilities in the county. The long room that stretches across the back of the of the old schoolhouse, once a gallery, now serves a conference room, a dining room for large parties, a reception area for weddings, anniversaries or reunions. “We have a group of graduates of this school coming in in June,” Mr. Koneczny said, adding they plan to use the room upstairs for their meal—one step away from the dining room downstairs. For business luncheons, the room offers conference-size tables or separate tables, fax machines and copy services. The room can seat between 20 and 26 persons and offers an auxiliary kitchen to one side. The sitting room at the top of the steps offers a comfortable retreat Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Chef Stephen Canard prepares dinner in the kitchen. outside the dining facilities for wedding parties and anniversary occasions. Keeping with the Virginia theme, the dinning rooms, downstairs,are named for the state’s history. The First Colony Room offers “pristine and attentive service,” said Mr. Koneczny. “This is fine dining at an affordable price,” he added; Dinner is served in the room Friday through Sunday with reservations and jackets requested. Appetizers range in price from $3.50 to $5. Entrees, such as panfried breast of capon, toumedos Chesapeake and seafood en croute are served with complimentary sorbets and after-dinner cookies. Across the hall, the public house offers a “public room,” a very casual dining room where diners can enjoy meals ranging in price from $10 to $12.50. Items include such things as country saltimbocca, filet mignon, grilled trout basted, poached salmon, surf and turf kabobs and crab cakes (seasonally). The public room is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for lunch and dinner, Sunday dinner only. Inside the public room, nicknamed the “The Pub,” customers can drink a draft beer—one of the only draft beers in the county—and relax. “I want the community to experience this room,” said the new proprietor, adding; “this is a place to go after work, after the fields, after a hard day.” Behind the public room dining room is the parlor. Low tables, a view of the mountains and soft music sets the atmo Conrad Koneczny sphere for relaxation. “And that’s what this room is for,” said Mr. Koneczny. The back room offers a quiet getaway, “not entertainment.” Mr. Koneczny said he does not plan to have entertainment in this room, a place of solitude and peace. On Sunday, the restaurant offers a Blue Ridge Country Brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner at night. Using herbs grown on the grounds surrounding the restaurant and fresh fruits and vegetables from local gardeners such as eggs from Jordan River Farm and fresh fruit from Blue Ridge Berry Farm, Mr. Koneczny said his new establishment represents a “commitment to the community.” “We want this to be a community restaurant as much as possible,” he said: For reservations, contact the restaurant at 675-1700 or at 1-800561-4142.

Economy Continued from page A-1 out, not only because of the drop off in local building, but also because they are less likely to get the jobs for the houses being built. When he visits job sites, he sees more contractors from outside the county, particularly from Northern Virginia. “It’s a very competitive market,” Mr. Burke said. “Contractors are willing to go farther to build, and they are cutting their prices to keep people working and not making as large a profit.” Many of these are families that have never asked for public assistance. Its been very traumatic for them, and it has been traumatic for our social workers to see this over and over again/ — Bev Bowen Social Services To some extent the decrease in new home starts has been offset by an increase in remodeling older homes. Figures are not available for 1989, but in 1990 70 permits were issued for additions or remodeling. In 1991 that figure increased to 147. For this year, through mid-April, 21 such permits were issued. Real estate agents were another group to experience the economic downturn early. During the first quarter of 1989 there was $8.2 million in real estate sales in Rappahannock County. No quarter since then has been as high. Real estate sales totaled $6.8 million in the second quarter, $7.3 in the third and $4.1 in the fourth, for a 1989 total of $26.5 million. In 1990 the third quarter was lowest, just under $3 million in sales. The other three quarters were between $5 and $6 million, for a total in 1990 of just under $19 million, a 28 percent drop from 1989. In 1991, the first quarter was a true disaster for real estate agents with less than $2 million in real estate sales. The other three quarters were between $4 and $5 million, for a year’s total of $15.2 million, a 20 percent decrease from 1990 and a 42.5 percent decrease since 1989. This year started out better than last, with just under $4 million in sales for the first quarter and $5.6 million for the first four months. At that rate this year may be slightly better than last year but still a long way from the booming years of the late 1980s. No statistics so clearly show the effect of the recession as those on Rappahannock households participating in the food stamp program. Social Services director Beverly Bowen said, “Many of these are families that have never asked for public assistance. It’s been very traumatic for them, and it has been traumatic for our social workers to see this over and over again.” Mrs. Bowen said in normal years the number of participating households is highest during the winter months, dropping off during the summer. As recently as the summer of 1990 that was still true, but since then the numbers keep going up, she said. She noted that the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program has also doubled in the past two years, going from a caseload in the mid-teens to 32 families now. She has also seen an increase in families requesting emergency assistance. “We’ve - seen people distressed and worried sick,” she said. She has also seen a lot of more serious family problems that may not be entirely due to economic hard times. “Families are splitting apart at the seams,” she said. “The situations we’re seeing are more difficult, more serious than we’ve ever seen before, and there don’t seem to be a lot of quick fixes. . . . Lots of people feel their lives are out of control. The economy may have raised the tension level in some homes, but that’s not the total answer.” Mrs. Bowen praised the community for its willingness to help. She mentioned the response of local organizations to the need for Christmas baskets and the work of the literacy volunteers. ‘The people in this community are so incredibly responsive to people in need,” she said. It’s a joy to work with them.” Librarian Nikki Lynch echoed Mrs. Bowen’s praise for the literacy volunteers and said she believed the economic hard times Ifad caused more people to take advantage of the tutoring to prepare them for the GED exam. She also said books on writing resumes and job search skills are checked out as soon as they arrive. She said she had also noted an increase in people checking out books on home improvements, from wallpapering to building decks. Raye Tupper, assistant principal at Rappahannock County Elementary School, said some of the increased enrollment in county schools may be due to the economy. She has noticed that some of the families enrolling their children in school are people from Rappahannock who had moved into counties in Northern Virginia. They return to live with relatives in Rappahannock when they lose their jobs or homes in Northern Virginia, she noted. Although Rappahannock has no real automobile dealerships, the drop off in new car purchases is also affecting the county. County Administrator John McCarthy said that normally the county can count on the personal property taxes to raise more money each year, although the rate has been steady at $2.90 per hundred for several years. With people keeping their old cars instead of replacing them with newer, more expensive models, this year the take from the tax is expected to drop. The picture represented by the unemployment chart is actually less negative than it appears. In 1989, when unemployment was 3.6 percent, there were on average 2,696 people in the labor force, 2,598 with jobs and 98 unemployed. By 1990, with an unemployment rate of 6 percent, there were 3,099 people in the labor force, 2,912 with jobs and 187 unemployed. By 1991 the labor force had grown to 3,595, 3,251 employed and 344 unemployed for a rate of 9.6 unemployed. So, over a two-year period on average 899 people entered the labor force. Of these, 653 found jobs and 246 did not. While unemployment was increasing, employment was increasing also. However, this year the labor force has continued to grow, to 3,639 in March, but the number of jobs has not. In fact only 3,151 had jobs in March, 100 fewer than the average for 1991. Sharon Pyne, an interviewer and placement specialist with the Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission, says that the office has few jobs in the area. The office on Cameron Street is divided into two sections, with one part processing unemployment claims while Ms. Pyne’s section deals with helping clients find employment. The office serves Culpeper, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Orange and Madison counties. Nursing is the only job area with many openings now, Ms. Pyne said.

She added that jobs don’t pay as well as they used to either. “Carpenters could make $12 to $14 per hour a few years ago,” she said. “Now, when the jobs are available, they pay $8 per hour. ” ‘Carpenters could make $12 to $14 per hour a few years ago. Now, when the jobs are available, they pay $8 per hour.' — Sharon Pyne Va. Employ. Comm. One bright note in the midst of economic gloom comes from retail sales. Income for the county from the local sales tax has steadily increased. There is a pattern to these sales. Each year th£ first quarter is the lowest, with the fourth quarter, which includes Christmas and the fall apple season, the highest. The sales tax total for 1990 was $166,100, a 9 percent increase over $152,200 in 1989. In 1991 the total went to $176,200, a 6 percent increase over 1990. While the fourth quarter of 1991 was not as high as the fourth quarter of 1990, the first quarter of 1992 has shown a 7 percent increase over last year’s first quarter. This prosperity has not been evenly split among Rappahannock retailers, however. Susan Parrish at Cabin Fever Books in Washington reports that December 1990 was the high point for her business. Since then the store has managed to cover expenses but not to make a profit for the proprietors. Randolph Clater at the Sperryville Corner Store reports that his business keeps growing. He said that 1991 was a good year with business up 1 to 2 percent over 1990. “People have to eat, and they will keep buying food even if they have to use food stamps,” he said. At Country Manor Phyllis Swindler reports that business is booming. The Swindlers decided to buck the trend of gas stations closing and instead invested in much larger gasoline tanks. Now, buying in large volume, they are able to sell gasoline at prices that are compeititve with Warrenton prices, James Swindler said. “I’m dealing with the recession by working a 80-hour week instead of a 70-hour week,” he added, saying gasoline sales have trippled. The Swindlers also decided, when 1-66 took traffic away from Sperryville, to branch out into the mail order catalog business. Now they have turned the store outside Sperryville into a catalog outlet, with prices lower than those offered through the catalog. This strategy is working. Their business grows and although there are fewer customers coming in from the road, those who come are more serious buyers, Mrs. Swindler added. She noted, however, that not all Sperryville merchants are faring as well. Some shops which used to be open throughout the week are now open only on weekends, she said. She added that fewer Sperryville businesses belong to the Sperryville Business Council. Another factor improving the economic climate in the county comes from the four-lane construction projects for U.S. 211-522. Ken By waters, site superintendent for L.F.

For Thursday’s game the school’s new Booster Club will be operating a concession stand. The Panthers’ loss to Strasburg was the second time the Rams have upset the Panthers’ apple cart this season—just two weeks ago Strasburg ruined their hopes for a perfect season in the final contest of the regular schedule. But to get to the tournament championship, Rappahannock first beat Page 5U in a close game that was won when Cyndi Welch hit a double in the fifth inning, driving home Dietrich Beaver.

Virginia's highway budget totals whopping $1.89 billion The Commonwealth Transportation Board has approved a tentative budget of $1.89 billion for the Virginia Department of Transportation and tentative allocations totaling $829.5 million for fiscal year 1992-93. At its meeting Thursday in Richmond, the board also approved a tentative six-year improvement program that includes 160 new highway improvement projects. "A significant increase in federal revenues from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 allows us to deliver a strong, stable transportation program,” said Transportation Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. The budget is 3.7 percent larger than the 1991-92 budget and is the first increase in three years. The new federal legislation establishes federal authorizations through 1997, providing better planning for future transportation improvements. The federal legislation includes fiinding under two new categories: the National Highway System (NHS), and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement INCORPORATED > Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE f Tues., 1:30 p.m. Every Month • JJ1on to our regular sales on the ay of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle t Sale-Consignments Welcome. v further information call 364-1566 1 mile east of Marshall on Rt 55 Program (CMAQ). The National Highway System will include all of the nation’s interstate highways plus many other principal highways, but the specific other highways have not yet been named by Congress. CMAQ funds are to be spent on projects to reduce congestion and air pollution in those locations that have been identified as non-attainment areas under the federal Clean Air Act. In Virginia, those areas are Northern Virginia, Richmond and Tidewater. For 1992-93, $37.8 million is available to Virginia in the CMAQ program. In addition to the $829.5 million for highway and bridge improvements and funding for public transit, ports and airports, the budget includes $518 million for state highway maintenance, $158 million in financial assistance for city street maintenance and $57.2 million in payments to other state agencies for transportation-related services. The six-year program includes a separate listing of those projects for which money is available for preconstruction work but not for actual construction. Previously, those projects - often very high-cost projects - were included in the regular sections of the plan, but were marked as not having construction funds available. The board’s action on the tentative allocations and six-year plan was based on the transportation department’s recommendations that were developed following a series of nine public hearings held throughout Virginia this spring. Final action by the board will be taken after it holds two additional hearings - one on June 11 in Roanoke and another on June 18 in Richmond. A breakdown of the next fiscal year’s allocations by system is as follows: Public transit, $69.3 million; Ports, $17.1 million; Airports, $9.8 million; Primary highways, $174.3 million; Urban highways, $130.7 mil lion; Secondary highways, $158 million; Interstate highways, $119.4 million; NHS-Interstate highways, $118.5 million; and NHS-NonInterstate highways, $32.4. For the maintenance of interstate, primary and secondary highways and for the state’s payments to municipalities to maintain local streets, the allotment will increase from $671 million to $675.9 million. Based on current revenue projections, Virginia expects to spend $5 billion during the next six years in state and federal funds on highway improvement projects, mass transit, ports and airports. Mass transit grants Public transportation programs throughout the state will receive more than $69 million in state transportation funds to assist with general operations, ridesharing programs and experimental projects in the next fiscal year. The grants were awarded by the Commonwealth Transportation Board at its meeting Thursday in Richmond and are effective July 1, 1992 through June 30,1993. Hazel bridge upgraded Construction began Tuesday, May 26 on the U.S. 522 bridge over the Hazel River near Boston in Culpeper County. The Commonwealth Transportation Board in April awarded a $618,736 contract to Wilkins Construction Co., of Amherst, to widen the bridge and repair piers and abutments. One lane of traffic will be permitted across the bridge while construction is under way. Traffic will be controlled by signals at both ends of the bridge. Motorists should expect short delays during the project, advised Larry Garber, Culpeper resident engineer. Check Into First Federal For These Services &More.

Field Day is fast approaching on June 5. Carol Nowakoeid, the physical education teacher, wants to remind everyone to bring lots of sunscreen and she could use large water coolers for the many thirsty children. This year Field Day will have a change in the fourth through seventh grade uivision: no ribbons will be awarded, instead points will be scored. Every student will be given a score regardless of the place they finish in each event. They will be divided into the blue team and the white team. The points will be totaled for each team and the winning team will receive a party courtesy of the PTO on Monday, June 8 in the gym. IT'S ELEMENTARY What'* Happening at RGBS by Diana Corbin The kindergarteners through third graders will remain the same and get some help from the sixth and seventh graders. Ms. Nowakoski also is very excited about the results of the Campbell soup label drive. The school is starting to receive the equipment they earned. They've received various types of basketballs, kickballs, a new scoreboard for the gym and a stereo system. She is very thankful to those who sent in labels and so are the kids. Bill Sealock and his fifth graders are busy studying the human body. They are now on the skeleton and muscular system. “Igor” the classroom skeleton “hangs” around so the kids can study him. They are also very excited about completing the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program. Their graduation will be on Thursday. Mr. Sealock was very grateful to Lt. Jeff Brown’s dedication. At times Lt. Brown would work a midnight shift and still be in the classroom in the morning to work with the kids. A job well done. Change in public workers' health plan subject of forum Informational meetings for active and retired state employees to review health insurance coverage, especially the proposed KeyAdvantage program, will be held jointly by Del. Jerry M. Wood and Del. John J. “Butch” Davies. The first meeting will be held in Warrenton at the Meeting Hall of the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Department on U.S. 29 at 7:30 p.m. onr Thursday, June 4. The second meeting will be at 7 p.m. Monday, June 15 in Culpeper at the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors Meeting Room, 135 West Cameron St. Representatives of Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the Department of Personnel and Training will be present to answer questions. Physicians and' representatives Of the health care facilities in the area are also included. “There has been a significant amount of misinformation about the KeyAdvantage Plan,” explained Del. Davies. He indicated that the reason that the information sessions were being held was to ensure that state employees were familiar with the program. Both Del. Davies and Del. Wood said they don’t think sufficient time has been provided to explain the program or to sign up participating physicians. They indicated that they both had questions about how the plan would operate and its potential negative impact on state employees. "The proposed plan was designed to save money and reduce the cost of insurance, but it hasn’t been implemented well nor was sufficient time allowed,” explained Del. Wood. Both delegates voiced reservations about implementing such sweeping changes in a short period of time. The additional 90-day transition period provided by the state allows for additional time, bat both indicated the new insurance plan is to take effect July 1. The 90-day transition period is simply to ensure that those who are being treated by physicians presently have an opportunity to make the transfer without negatively impacting on their present treatment plan. Robb Continued from page A-1 inspiration. This, he explained, emanates from the Democratic Party, not from the “folks on the other side, as misguided as they may be from time to time.” Traditionally it has been Democrats who have attempted to respond to the many challenges of the times, Sen. Robb said. “It is not just a coincidence that all those programs from the New Deal to New Frontier to the Great Society were Democratic programs. None of the programs worked 100 percent, but they had the audacity, the boldness, to try to solve real problems for real people, and not simply say that the status quo was good enough for us.” Many of these programs would have worked, or would have worked even better, if they had been fiilly implemented, Sen. Robb said. These Democratic initiatives, admittedly imperfect, have formed the basis for the. success of government today, he said. The strength of the party, Sen. Robb explained, is diversity and inclusiveness that supports a wide variety of racial, ethnic, and religious groups that have found a way to work together. “If there is any single thing that gives us more strength and more relevance in the minds of those who we want to have support this party, it is the fact that . . . the tent is big enough for all those differences of opinion,” he noted. In order to halt the increasing sense—and reality—of relative decline, Sen. Robb said, voters must make a few principled choices. “We can’t always charge it to the next generation,” he said. “We can’t ask our kids and their children to pay all of our bills.” Principles of shared sacrifice and the concept of reciprocal obligation are tenets of good government that he shares with Bill Clinton, the sen that sense of challenge and obligation,” Sen. Robb noted, government can once again become a powerful force for good in people’s lives. The 10th District meeting was convened to elect a candidate to run against incumbent U.S. Rep. Frank R. Wolf, R-lOth, delegates to the national, convention in July, and a representative to the Electoral College. No candidate was selected to oppose Rep. Wolf, but the district has reserved the option to nominate a candidate later if one steps forward, according to Fauquier Democratic chairman Rich Galecki. Three of the delegates selected for the national convention are committed to Gov. Clinton, while the fourth is uncommitted. Ray Everett was selected to cast the district's presidential vote in the Electoral College. Economy Continued from page A-7 reports that 40 percent of the workforce, 10 or 12 people are Rappahannock residents. Besides that direct benefit, some of the local businesses are benefitting because the workers usually buy their lunches at Baldwins outside Washington or at the Country Cafe in Washington or the Appetite Repair Shop in Sperryville. Mr. Bywaters reported that the major effect of the recession his company has experienced is the very competitive bidding process. Highway construction bids are as low now as they were 10 years ago, he added. Charles Haymes of Haymes Brothers, the firm that won the contract for the second part of the project, reports that they have not hired Rappahannock workers. He is still looking for general laborers, carpenters and concrete finishers "who are willing to do hard work.” His employees also buy their handles in the county. For Rappahannock County, much of the economic news is bad. However, some of it is good, and most people report that they are optimistic that things will eventually get better.

The Executive Board of the society has long known that the precious documents, books, letters, and in, fact, all the historical collection was in danger of deteriorating in the cold winters and the humid hot summers of the past years. The society had requested its members to donate money for a building fund in memory of the late Jack Brown, former president and building and grounds committee chairman for the society’s building. He was a Rappahannock native and a the descendant of several old Rappahannock families. The new climate control system, which is being installed by contractors Keys and Sims, will sustain an even, moisture-regulated temperature in the 170-year-old building. Contractors are being careful to respect the historical integrity of the old building. The structure once housed the Treasurer’s Office, a 4 home, a school for young ladies, and a even a tavern. Its last use before the Historical Society rescued it from the wrecking crew was to house the battery operated phone equipment of Centel in the 1960s. The battery-acid leaks are still visible on the wooden floor. Meanwhile, the volunteers for the Historical Society continue their work. A compMiensive inventory of Rappahannock cemeteries, public and private, have been put into the society’s computer, and it is hoped that this will be published before the end of the summer. A list of all Rappahannock men and women who fought in all of this country’s wars is also being compiled, put into the computer, and will perhaps be published next year. The public is invited to visit the Rappahannock Historical Society on Gay Street for researching, reading, or just plain browsing. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Donations for the Jack Brown Building Fund will be gratefully accepted, and new memberships are welcomed. Annual dues are $10 for an individual, or $15 for a family membership.

B4 Kappanannot*. incws, wasmngion, va. Thursday, May 28, 1992 Potato salad is everywhere with start of the cook-out season - By HELEN SMITH * Rappahannock Newt ContHbutinc Writer " Memorial Day Weekend launched the cookout season. Wherever there’s a cookout, family reunion, or covered dish supper, you’re bound to find a bowl of potato salad. A choice of potatoes Fresh potatoes come in two basic varieties: waxy and non-waxy. The waxy varieties include long whites or Irish potatoes, round whites, and round reds. The long whites (Irish) are very long cylinders with a light brown, smooth skin. Firm, with a medium starch content, they are all-purpose potatoes good for boiling, mashing, and roasting. Long whites can also be baked, but their texture will be watery. Round whites are smooth, firm, and light yellow in color. They are at their best when boiled, steamed, mashed, or roasted. Round reds are red skinned, firm, and lower in starch content. They are ideal for boiling, steaming, and roasting. New potatoes are not the roundfred ones as most people think. True new potatoes means freshly harvested ones. The russet potato is the nonwaxy variety. Russets or Idahoes are long cylinders with a reddishbrown skin. They are higher in ■ ■ " " HOME ECONOMICS starch and are relatively dry and mealy. Russet potatoes are best for baking but can be mashed or fried. They lose their shape when boiled. Of the potatoes described above, the round red, round white, or long white potatoes are the best texture for potato salad. Baking potatoes tend to have a mealier texture when used in salads.

According to the American Heart Association’s handbook for CPR, high blood pressure is the most important risk factor for stroke because it affects one in every three Americans. It’s important to take your medication if you’re on it. We can be in control to reduce our risks of heart attacks and strokes. Ways that prudent heart living can be established and maintained are: lesterol in the diet. 4. Control your weight (avoid extreme reducing diets; eat sensibly. 5. Exercise regularly. Exercise tones the muscles, stimulates the circulation, helps avoid excess weight, and promotes a general feeling of well-being. The survival rate of heart attack victims is higher in those who exercise regularly. Consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. Around the village, a special happy birthday to W.
