PAID CIRCULATION NOW r '■& 2,950 ' :' SUbfMtW ABC Audit' < X 44th Year, No 40 12 page* Bur.iroicit*«u.io» THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1992 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 50 cento WSA reluctantly agrees to pay fine The Water and Sewer Authority members reluctantly voted 4 to 1 to formally accept the consent order and $4,000 fine presented by the State Water Control Board. Member Carson Johnson cast the "Nay” vote. First the members went over each of the other requirements of the consent order, learning that some have already been done and that efforts are underway to complete the rest. When they took up the vote, Mr. Johnson said, “There is no question we have to go ahead with the different things they want. They are not going to get off our back until we do, and we should not be satisfied until we have a healthy plant. “By their own admission for the first three or four years they were negligent in making proper semi-annual and annual inspections and giving us information so we could take corrective action through the years,” he continued. “'Hiey said they were understaffed. Obviously it wasn’t all right.” he noted. “The prior inspector was not doing the job. They hired a new person. She found a lot of problems. She threw the flag up, and within 24 hours the payers in Sperryville were spending money we didn’t have to correct it.” “1 see no problem with us doing these things, but for them to fine us and us to pay the fine, it’s downright blackmail, and I will oppose paying the fine,” he concluded. Jimmy Swindler Jr. said, “Either you agree to the consent order or you do not, and they refer it to the Attorney General’s office.” Chairman Eugene Leggett added, “They mentioned a fine of $25,000 per day. They were waving the threat of thousands of dollars and then say they’ll be good guys and reduce the fine to $8,000. We raised some points. You can’t apply the same fine to a community with 100 subscribers as one with thousands. It seems grossly not only unfair in the impact per person, but it doesn’t seem to contribute towards the goals everyone wants. We can eigher accept the figure or fight it and spend more money on costs associated with the gamble.” Mr. Johnson countered, “A fine is for breaking the law. This may be a case of mismanagement or poor management, but it’s not a crime. If we were blatantly running raw sewage or there was evidence we caused damage to someone’s health..” ‘They have proof there was raw sewage running into the river," Charltes K. “Pete" Estes said. “He was our operator...Where’s the satisfaction? The point is to try to get out of this with as small an expenditure as possible.” Mr. Leggett added, “We want to have the least impact on the individual subscribers in Sperry ville.” “It’s going to make it unaffordable to the people of Sperry ville,” Mr. Johnson said. The WSA also agreed to a field trip through the plant for high school earth science classes. Fight to the finish The Rappahannock Polo Team, winners of Iasi year’s National President’s Cup, hosted the British Army Polo Team at the Fannon's Laurel Hill Farm in Castleton on Htpfuhiyifwck Newt Stiff Photo/CUtdy Mahan Sept. 22. The Brits won, 5-4, in ah exciting match against the Rappahannock team consisting of Bill Fannon, Tom Leonard, Juan Bentley Salinas and Philip Staples.

Government Truman's rocks donated to library By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nawt Staff WrtUr The Library Board moved outside to look at the problem of handicapped access to finally arrive at a consensus. Chairman William Young said he had looked at the problem with Richard Abell. “The problem is where the sidewalk makes a right turn there is a slope,” he said. “It’s built like a New England road; it banks out,” he added. He said the library also needed more gravel for the third handicapped parking space. He suggested the sidewalk be built up so get rid of the slope. Roberta Anderson agreed the slope was not good, but added, “It might have to stay.” The board members went outside to look at the situation. The slope is designed to eliminate a curb at one point on the sidewalk. The board agreed the solution would be to make the sidewalk wider at that point so a wheelchair would not have to get on the slope. This will eliminate some of the plantings near the entrance. Again the board considered library hours. Librarian Nicki Lynch said the library should be open more in the eveningB. Currently the library is open until 8 p.m. on Wednesdays but closed at 5 p.m. other weekdays. Mrs. Lynch said one alternative would be to be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. instead of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. She said she would be comfortable with such hours, but on days when she can’t be at the library in the afternoon, assistant librarian Elizabeth Jones couldn’t stay until 6 p.m. since she has to leave at 5 p.n>. to pick up her child. Board members asked if volunteers could cover on those days, but Mrs. Lynch said volunteers sometimes have other obligations. The issue was left unresolved. The board voted to put up a fiberglass flagpole. Gifts made in memory of Isaac Parrish will be used to pay for it. Rocks donated by George and Lydagene Muth that came from the White House will be placed on the base of the flagpole. Member Grace Sims noted that those rocks are mentioned in a recent biography of Harry Truman. They came out of the White House when extensive renSee Library, Page A-5 Dunagan variance is passed By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Apical* approved a variance from aide setback requirements for Tony and Fransi Danagan to add a two-story addition to a house they are renting from Bernard and Gillian Shinkman near Boston. The Dunagans, acting as agents for the Shinkmans, requested a 10-foot variance from the 50-foot setback requirement to add on two bedrooms. Mrs. Dunagan said they could not add on to the back, because the house was already within 40 feet of that property line. The other side of the house has a stone chimney and the septic tank, and the front has the entrance and two large trees they want to leave alone. Mrs. Dunagan said she has two children who are using the two existing bedrooms. She said the Shinkmans also have two children and want the addition. She said she and her husband are using a 8-by-14foot study for their bedroom. Mrs. Dunagan gave the board a letter written by a See BZA, Page A-2 RLEP annual meeting draws large crowd _ % -h ■ X large enthusiastic crowd turned out for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s annual meeting last Thursday evening at the Washington Fire Hall. President Marc Malik noted that during the past year RLEP has worked on getting donations of scenic easements, sponsored the natural history day camp, monitored the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission meetings, worked on environmental workshops with the Garden Club, helped sponsor an environmental club at the high school and worked with the Rainforest Action Group. He said the group has become interested in working to preserve trail heads into the national park and in preserving open space as a land use category. He said one group is working on keeping graval roads in the county. He Baid RLEP had also op,posed the Bleu Rock expansion saying such a large use would be better in a commercial zone and developed a position on tourist and recreation developments in the county. Members and friends enjoyed a performance by Paul Reisler and Martha Sandefer. They performed music Mr. Reisler has written about living in Rappahannock. Mr. Reisler played the guitar and hammered dulcimer. Ms. Sandafer sang and played the guitar. Next the membership heard Julie Thomas of the National Park Service talk about increasing problems with visual pollution, ozone, and acid rain in the Shenandoah Na tionaJ Park. Ms. Thomas said about 15 percent of the year it is possible to see for 30 to 36 miles from the park. She said about 40 to 50 percent of the time one can see for 11 to 29 miles and 36 to 40 percent of the time 0 to 10 miles. She said that normal visibility should be 70 to 80 miles. Since 1948 visibility has gone down, particularly during the summer. Ms. Thomas said that ozone was not as much of a problem in the park this past summer as it was in 1988. She said that the federal government considers ozone concentrations below 120 partB per billion safe, but about 20 percent of the population, especially those with bronchial problems and asthma sufferers, experience problems at 80 parts per billion. She said that 10 days this past summer ozone concentrations were above 80, compared to 50 days in 1988. She Baid that in cities ozone is worse in late afternoon, but in the park it is worse in the middle of the night when it gets “blown in from the cities.” Ms. Thomas noted that ozone puts stress on plants marking them with a “fine purple stipple.” She said plants stressed by ozone are more likely to succumb to other problems. The third major environmental problem the park faces is acid rain, she said. She said the thin soils in the park have buffered as much acid as they can, and now are releasing it to the streams coming out of the park. “The streams will stay preSee RLEP. Page A-5 24 bears trapped in county this year By FRANCES B1SHOPP Rappahannock N«wa Staff WrtUr There’s bears in them there hills and in them there orchards, cornfields, backyards, back porches and carwashes. The bare fact is there are bears just about everywhere this year, keeping Game Warden Jim Bankston and Game Commission trapping specialist Jerry Blank on the road continually. * “This Is a cyclic thing,” said Mr. Bankston. “Last year, we didn’t have any bear sitings or bear damage complaints and this year we have numerous ones.” Mr. Blank, who traps bears in six counties, has trapped some where around 90 bears this year, 24 of them here in Rappahannock. The only other year he recalls trapping more was two years ago when he trapped over 100. Orchardists have been hit the hardest. One Rappahannock orchardist has had 10 trapped on his property just since July. Annie Moore, wife of Flint Hill orchardist Lewis Moore, said they have had four trapped on their property in the last two weeks. uWe had a mother and her triplet cubs show up here," said Mrs. Moore. The bears have come down See Bears, Page A-2 < , Photo Courtety of »utt |«m dap Game trapping specialist Jerry Blank tranquilized this bear in Madison County for relocation t| southwestern part of the state.

►Bears From Page A-l from the hills in search of food, said Mr. Bankston. “In June and July bears generally mate so they move out of the park. By this time of year the berry crop has been consumed and the acorns and hickory nuts are not available yet so they move out into the agricultural areas in search of fruit and corn. Another problem has been the Gypsy Moth blight which has destroyed a number of oak and hickory trees, farther reducing the food supply for the animals. Bears, explained Mr. Bankston, have migratory patterns. Last year they were in Madison and counties south of here. This year, they have moved north. Bears are 75 to 80 percent vegetarians, however, they can be tempted with a morsel or two of chicken if the opportunity arises. Several weeks ago, Mrs. Bessie Baldwin of Washington, Va, heard a commotion outside her back door. She ran to the window to find a bear chasing her hens around the yard, several of which were on the roof of the garage. The bear tramped around for a while and even came up on her back porch at one point. In the end, he made off with aevtnal hens, feathers, feet and all. The bear left through the cornfields in back of her home, only toreturn the next day. This time he was shooed off with no chicken dinner. After a bit of investigation, a spot was found in bade of the chicken house where the bear had been lying down in the cornstalks apparently to keep on eye on his dinner plans. A trap was set soon after and several days later the bear was caught. The Rappahannock News made an attempt to interview him, “up close and personal”, however, a single roar and lunge at the cage door, sent this reporter scurrying backwards in no uncertain terms. Several weeks ago one bear in Luray decided to take the food prob* lem into his own paws and showed up in downtown Luray at McDonalds. He also made a trip to the carwash and after the police arrived, managed to get away. According to Mr. Bankston, the Virginia black bear has never at tacked any human in the state, however, they should be treated with respect. These bears are very curious,” said Mr. Bankston. “They sometimes will stand up on their hind legs, but that is rare. When they do, he continued, they are testing the wind, investigating.” The biggest problem with the black bear, besides giving humans an adrenaline rush, is the damage they do to cornfields and orchards, which can sometimes be extensive. Trees can be broken and clawed, often causing the demise of the tree. Once a bear is trapped, which is done with a cage and meat or ham bait, it is tagged, tattoed and transported to areas where they won’t be doing damage. Mr. Blank also takes a tooth from which to determine the exact age of the animal Mr. Blank said he takes them to George Washington National Forest on the Alleghany side or the Jefferson National Forest. Even though the bears have been tranquilized, they are not released until they are totally back to normal, said Mr. Blank. “You can’t run the risk of letting them lie down in a field somewhere half asleep,” he said. “Crows could pick their eyes out or something,” he added. “We don’t trap a bear unless it is causing a problem,” said Mr. Bankston. “There have been a number of complaints this year,” he added. “We are doing everything possible to keep up with the problem.” Shenandoah National Park has the largest population of black bears in the eastern part of the country, explained Mr. Blank, who said the biggest bear he ever caught weighed in around 475 pounds. Black bears, no matter what the bear liter tells you (“I saw a bear and it was seven feet tall”) are only about three feet tall at shoulder height. “The purpose of all this is rather than destroy a resource, we try to conserve and protect it,” said Mr. Blank. “We are fortunate to have Shenandoah National Park because hunting is not allowed in the park, there is a nudeous of protected, cubproducing females. ” “I rarely have trouble moving these bears,” said Mr. Blank. “Even the mothers and the cubs, however, I have a healthy respect for them, after all they are wild animals and when they grow up they can take your head off with one swipe.” F-A-L-L FEEDER CATTLE SALES -atMADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC.

The attractive brochures describe each of the 31 local agencies that benefit from contributions to the Piedmont United Way. Ken Holmberg, district manager of the Warrenton Office of Virginia Power and Piedmont United Way board member, says there are other ways that companies or individuals can help the United Way through contribution of services.

Jones Jr. supporting the application. Philip Smiley, the neighbor whose property is on the side the Dupagans have chosen for the addition, also gave the board a letter signed by him and his wife supporting the application. Mr. Smiley said his house is 1,000 feet from the Dunagans’ house, and he added he would have no objections if they wanted to build right up to the property line. Chairman Louis G. “Butch” Zindel noted that the board could not grant a variance as a “special convenience” for the applicant. He said he could only be granted for an “undue hardship” or one “approaching confiscation.” Member Sid Gottlieb said, “One problem for me is one wants to be a nice guy, but when we apply some of these tests, it slows me up a bit.” County Administrator John McCarthy said, “On the whole issue of a hardship approaching confiscation, if we take that literally very few things fit that, but we have had a couple. If this was an existing three or four bedroom house, and they were seeking to add two more, that would not be a hardship approaching confiscation. But this is a two-bedroom house and they can’t build on the three other sides. What’s the reason for allowing a variance at all?” Jdr. Zindel said, “After last month, I know that few approach confiscation.” f( ~' " " ^ CASH IN ON CLASSIFIED BARGAINS! Vv J) Pound pups This Lab cross needs a good home. Pet of the week The featured dog at the Shelter in Amissville this week is a Lab cross, one-year-old black female, found on Route 640, Amissville, playful. Other dogs available this week .include: • Beagle, two females, one- to two-years old, multi-color, one is really tiny, found on Route 637, Flint Hill. • Beagle, male, one- to twoyears old, multi-color, found on Route 637, Flint Hill. • Golden retriever cross, fourmonth-old tan male, found on Route 627, Washington. • Hound, two-year-old male, black/tan, very friendly, found on Route 707 and Route 231. • Shepherd cross, black, fourmonth-old female, found on U.S. 522, Woodville. • Dachund cross, black/brown, one-year-old female, found on Route 231. • Chihuhua cross, one-year-old tan male, found on Route 231. The shelter is open from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. The lost animal registry can be found in the Classified Section of the Rappahannock News. To reach the lost and found registry, or the shelter, call 937-3283 or 937-3336. Mr. Gottlieb said, “I try to keep in mind consistency.” In the Schiermeyer case last month, “a house could be built in conformance, and it would fit in with the neighborhood. Do we do this on a case-by-case basis depending on whether it bothers anybody near them? The setbacks were established with care.” “The setbacks were established to protect the neighbors," member Jimmy Swindler Jr. said. Mr. McCarthy said there might be reasons a neighbor would not want to oppose an application publicly. “They shouldn’t have to come out for the county to enforce its zoning ordinance.” When the time came for the vote, all four members present found they could agree that denying the application would present a “demonstrable hardship that would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property,” and the variance was granted. The BZA also approved Robert Bridges application for a tourist home to take overflow guests from the Bleu Rock Inn. At the Planning Commission this application had been opposed as an application for a bed and breakfast. Mr. Bridges agreed to apply for a tourist home instead. “It’s not the function of the Planning Commission or our function to police the bed and breakfast industry for them,” Mr. Gottlieb said. The application was approved with the same conditions the planners recommended. Home school mothers meet A small group of home schooling mothers gathered Monday evening to make plans for the coming year. The Home Educators Association of Rappahannock was organized last year and sponsored Spanish classes and meetings with various musicians in the county so their children could learn about making music. This year some hope to find a way to continue the Spanish classes. Mostly, however, they said they want to explore ways their children can take part in some activities available to public school children. They mentioned specifically the Presidents Physical Fitness Awards, science fairs, and using the computer facilities at the schools. They were also concerned that they have not been officially notified that their applications for home schooling have been approved although the School Board considered these requests at the August and September meetings. They will also seek a clearer statement on the rights of home schoolers since they report different parents have received different information from "the school administration. They plan to meet again next month after they have had a chance to do research on relations between home schoolers and other public school systems. *** v.-.lv**■: *' ‘ CHRYSLER • PLYMOUTH • * DODGE • JEEP • EAGLE, INC.. presents • ► A"' » * — ~ EID h kirn Sportman's Cmllice Weekly winners compete for the chance to: COMPETITIONS INCLUDE: GOLF — Hot* In One Contest* A • HORSESHOES — Pitching Contest* • BASKETBALL - Shooting Cot EACH WEEK THERE WILL BE: ♦ 4 Qualifiers in Golf • 4 Qualifiers in Horseshoes * 1 Qualifier in Basketball QUALIFYING OATES • Sat..

It's Elementary Grandparents share stories with 1 st grade By DEBBIE MASSIE Rappahannock New* Contributing Columnist Mrs. Flinchum’s first grade class celebrated Grandparent’s Day last week. Grandparents were invited to join the class for a snack, made by the students, and then could share stories about their school days. The students prepared for their students by making chocolate and vanilla pudding and learning proper manners about being polite and serving guests first. Nineteen first graders sat spellbround while listening to stories ranging from Nathan Corbin’s grandmother getting into trouble for laughing at another student’s antics to Bobbie Jo Brown’s grandmother reminiscing about when Mrs. Flinchum’s mother (Mrs. Lavinia Barron) taught her children. Hope Jacob’s grandmother and grandfather (89 years old) explained how they drank water from a dipper and Jennifer Sparincino’s grandparents compared their school days in West Virginia and New York to Virginia schools. Chad Frazier’s grandpa rents told about attending Sperryville Elementary (now the Emporium). It was a heartwarming day which made Room 9’s school family much closer. Mrs. Striplin’s third grade class have been learning about biographies. They have been reading about Helen Keller. The students have also started learning Braille and Sign Language. Mrs. Everett volunteered to help the students write their names in Braille. Another parent Sandra Hirth has given plants to beautify their classroom. Mrs. Striplin’s class have written her advice on how to be a good grandmother, as her first grandchild was born on Sept. 18. Amanda Weakley and Kevin Yowell received “Room 13 Trophy of the Week” Awards for outstanding work and behavior. Mrs. Lee’s fifth grade class have been learning about World War II because they are reading “The Upstairs Room" by Johanna Reiss. The author, who is Jewish, hid with a Gentile farm family in Holland during the war.

That’s because Virginia is one of few states that have elections every year, thus giving no rest to those who might be weary of politics and politicians. Actually the campaign for the gubernatorial election year of 1993, always the premier election year on the state calendar, is well underway, though largely invisible to the public eye. A fierce battle of inside baseball is taking place within Republican ranks to decide who will gain the nominations for governor and attorney general. And in time applicants for the nominations for lieutenant governor are expected to come forth. By contrast, Democratic waters appear very still at the moment with Attorney General Mary Sue Terry expected to get the gubernatorial nomination without challenge and Lt. Gov. Donald Beyer apparently poised to seek re-election to an office that carries with it little clout, but would position him nicely for a gubernatorial run in 1997. A few people, former party chairman Larry Framme, are considering seeking the nomination to succeed Ms. Terry as attorney general, but none has yet formally announced. Going after a party nomination that is also sought by others is unlike seeking votes among the public, particularly if the nomination is to be awarded at a state convention that follows a long series of local meetings at which delegates are chosen. It is the difference between shooting at a target with a shotgun and a rifle. The prospective nominee must try to win over those members of his or her own party who are most likely to attend the local meetings and seek roles as delegates to the state gathering. A candidate could conceivably have thousands of people backing him or her for office, but unless they participate in the convention process Virginia Through Both Barrels their support is useless in winning the nomination. That’s why U.S. Rep. George Allen, R-7th Di8t., retired businessman Earle Williams and Del. Clinton Miller, three prospective GOP candidates for governor, and Del. Steve Agee and Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Gilmore, who seek the nomination for attorney general, are seen at every Republican barbecue and chicken dinner around the state they can possibly attend. At such events they meet the party activists who are most likely to take part in the process and whose support can be most useful to them. Though occasional media coverage of the budding contests are relegated to the back pages, the infighting is becoming particularly intense in the gubernatorial nomination contest, stirring up fears among some that unity may be damaged. While the matter of settling the GOP gubernatorial nomination may be tough and intense, Ms. Terry, with no competition, is free to raise money and solidify her base for the general election that will commence once Republicans hold their state convention in early June next year. Rumors have surfaced that television evangelist Pat Robertson may opt to seek the Republican nomination for governor, although he has given no public hint of such a possibility. Republicans, of course, are anxious to win back the governorship after three consecutive statewide losses in the 1980s. They believe they can use the record of Gov. Doug Wilder as a bludgeon against Ms. Terry, yet they also know she has won two statewide races.

For decades the all American pastime and business have had a close relationship. Youth baseball shirts all over the nation have Tony’s Pizza or Fred’s Garage on the back. Business sponsorship of baseball teams is one of the ways youth baseball leagues finance this sport. In Rappahannock County we have a unique problem in the fact we do not have a lot of businesses and most are small. To help raise much needed funds the Rappahannock Athletic Association would like to challenge for the month of October, all businesses in the business community to send a check for $25 to the R.A.A. to help us keep this league growing and thriving. If everyone would contribute a little it would add up to a lot. Our hope is that you will see how important and healthy children’s activities are for the whole community.

Th<> JJpV Audit Bureau THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1992 m iThe bare facts Big, lumbering and slightly myobic, the black bear, (the inly type of bear in Virginia,) has certainly made his presence Known in Rappahannock this summer. They have come down from the mountains in droves, alone or often with their cubs, Ji search of food as they lfegin the process of getting ready for A long, cold winter. A shortage of acorns due to the Gypsy moth blight, plus Jhe lure of juicy peaches and apples, attract the hungary Animals, although they have been known to dine on a chicken •r two when the opportunity presents itself. Thus far, trapping specialist Jerry Blank has trapped Close to 100 bears this year, 24 of which have been in Rappahannock. According to Mr. Blank, the bears are fairly f asy to trap, even when it’s a mother with her cubs. The black bear has never been known to attack a human in Virginia, lowever, said Mr. Blank, they are wild animals and you must Jave a healthy respect for them. One swipe of a paw could take off a man’s head. While the bears present a great nuisance for orchard •wners and farmers and can certainly get your blood pumping prhen they turn up on your back porch, the humane treatment these animals receive is commendable. Tranquilized, tagged and relocated to other areas of Virginia where the bear population needs bolstering, the bears are not released until they have completely recovered from all tranquilizer effects tn order to give them every advantage in their new pnvironment. According to Mr. Blank, Shenandoah National Park has the largest number of bears per square mile than any other park and the largest population in the eastern part of the Country. While orchard owners might not be delighted with that bit of news in that the damage to their trees impacts |heir revenues, it is heartening to hear that some parts of our environment are thriving despite the onslaught of man-made pollution that threatens our park and its ecosystems. Rappahannock residents eiy oy a singular experience. Jhey live adjacent to one of our country’s most valuable barks. While various conservation groups and the National Park Service struggle to put limits on added pollution coming from power plant, auto and factory emissions, out-of-state dilution is out of their control and these groups must look to national leadership for a regional strategy. Currently there has been a political tug-of-war between the National Park Service which has been uncharacteristically vocal in trying to do its job - drawing Attention to the declining health of the natural resources it is Intrusted with and the Bush administration which views regulation as a means to cripple industry. But the core of the problem is that without regulation, power plants and factories would not want to spend the fconey on new anti-pollution technology and without the antipollution technology, there is no solution to the problem. Z While a regulatory environment can initially present difficulties for large industry, you can count on the fact that it yill find a means to compensate. Industry will adapt and change to meet the challenge. However, the same cannot be «aid for our environment. Left to the greed and disregard of jnany, it will shrivel and disappear before our very eyes bnable to make the adaptions necessary to survive. The Shenandoah National Park is our heritage, particularly those of us who live in Rappahannock County. 3Ve must work to do whatever is necessary to keep it healthy. Taking good care of its bear population is certainly a step in $he right direction. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Rain has been the predominate weather factor this summer. Rappahannock’s foliage has never been greener. efters to the Editor Education is the answer To the Editor: 1 think the cure to the pregnancy problem is parents and teachers working together to inform our young teenagers about sex. They need a place to turn to get their questions answered truthfully. The teachers and counselors can’t answer these questions at school. All the parents who are interested in starting a program at the High School call the School Board Office and get a class started or write a brief letter. DOLLIE M. ATKINS Sperryville Unjustifiable rate increase To the Editor: As a member of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, I would like to express my sincere concern over our present service and the proposed 7 percent rate increase to be instated in the month of October. For many years now, people serviced by the “Rixley” substation have suffered from numerous and often lengthy power outages. This summer our service has been extremely poor. We have had power outages with almost every storm. These outages are as follows: July 27, 2 hours; July 31, 10 1/2 hours; Aug. 4,21/2 hours; Aug. 22,5 hours, Sept. 10,4 1/2 hours. This pattern has existed for many years. I so understand that Mother Nature will take her course; however the lines in our community are overgrown and poorly kept in many areas. In a recent article published by Francis Updike, we learned of many disturbing facts about how our money is being spent. For two years now, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative members have received no patronage refunds. There is no ob,vious action on Rappahannock Electric’s part to save money in these hard economic times. They now propose another 7 percent rate increase. At present we pay 30 percent in excess of our neighbors serviced by Potomac Edison, and for a much less effective system. I have had several meetings with Mr. Frank Andrews, Culpeper district manager, and he agrees that the complaints that I and neighbors have voiced are legitimate and that they “are working on it.” However; no obvious actions have been taken. As a customer of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, I feel another rate increase in injustifiable. Instead of $37,000 spent on exercise equipment it should have been spent on improvements to the “Rixley” substation and in the clearing of overgrown lines within the communities. At present there are petitions in several local stores opposing Rappahannock Electric’s 7 percent increase. If you care and don’t want to pay any higher rates for such an inadequate utility service, please stop by one of these stores and sign our petitions. Petitions can be found at these stores: Dennis’ Store, Boston General, Laurel Mills, Mayhughs, Hackley’s and Hillsdale. There are also petitions in several stores in Culpeper County. You may also voice your opinion or ask questions at a community wide meeting with Rappahannock Electric from 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 8 at Rappahannock High School. Let’s work together to try to stop this unnecessary increase. For more information or to offer assistance contact me at 987-8142. EDIE E. FALLS Woodville Democrats to meet To the Editor: The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee is pleased to announce that it’s annual Fall Fundraiser will be held this year on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O’Rourke, White Walnut Hill Farm, beginning at 5:30 p.m. To get to White Walnut Hill Farm from Sperryville direction, go south on U.S. 522 to Woodville and turn left on Route 621 for two miles. White Walnut Hill Farm is on the left. (Coming north on U.S. 622 from the Culpeper direction turn right on Route 621). White Walnut Hill Farm is two miles from Woodville on Route 621. Look for the sign on the left. This is a good opportunity to meet your neighbors and friends, to have a good and pleasant time, and to help change things in America, by aiding the Clinton, Gore, and Vickery ticket. J. KENT REEVE Chairman Rappahannock County Democratic Committee U Bush deserves support To the Editor: What a strange paradox we are facing. We have won a war over communism but are now in danger of losing the peace we have earned. Yes, we did indeed win but at what tremendous price to those thousands of the suddenly unemployed who did their share of helping to win the peace. Until a year or two ago, this country was prospering with the highest percentage of employment in our nation’s history. With the achievement of peace, however, the President quite properly ordered the armament and defense industry to stand down. This set up an unfortunate domino effect throughout the American industry. Many of those unemployed, in theri perplexity and dismay, must be wondering if this is what it’s like to win, then what if. . .? With the most dynamic economy in the world we can be certain, however, that we will bounce back. How we bounce back is the question the voters will decide on Nov. 3. In spite of the hew and cry reverberating from the hustings, thoughtful people pray that the voters will still pause to think, rather than vote with emotional outbursts that could easily jeopardize our long range future. My family knows first hand about the “price” we are paying for the peace we have achieved. A key member is suddenly among the army of unemployed as a result of the cancellation of a defense contract for the development of a new piece of ordinance. He realizes that with the receding of the communist threat it was a proper action to cancel plans for a new weapon that is no longer needed. Instead of crying in anger and looking for somebody to blame, and although he is in financial duress at the moment, he is philosophical, and actively engaged in the search for new employment or a return to his old profession of teaching, quite confident he will soon be returning to normal lining. He and his whole family remain unshaken in their trust and confidence in our president. I feel a chill of fright when, on television, I see or hear an Arkansas governor rushing madly about the country mouthing far-out, sometimes weird, promises, to whatever the group of the moment seems to want. It all boils down to more Federal government spending for more new government programs - but “where’s the beef?” Why, it can only be in more Federal taxes, where else? While seeming to promise a future Utopia, the Arkansas governor, and those supposed to be advising him, must know deep down in their hearts that piling up more Federal programs and spending is no way to buy a solid and lasting prosperous future. In the frustration of the moment, many are forgetting that our President did and does have an economic program, not flashy or immediate, but solid and lasting. What has happened to it? The Democrat-controlled Congress, in its frantic effort to regain control of the White House, seems to have resorted to every trick in the book, many times with the support of a far-left press, blocking any of his proposals. Such Capital Hill thinking as this is what caused me, an old Byrd Democrat, to follow many other Southerners in joining the other party as an independent moderate Republican where we have felt the real leadership is. Why this shift? Because the Democrat party was captured in the early 70s by the radical left and far-out liberals. I was active in Washington during those years and witnesses with horrors what was happening to the traditional party of my ancestors. Our President does have a realistic program for carefully, but surely working our way out of the financial doldrums. To do so, we voters must demand that the members of Congress (maybe as many as 200 new ones coming in) give our President the support he should receive as our elected leader. Even though we did win over the communist threat, the entire world in which we must live and function remains everywhere like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. We urgently need an experienced, trustworthy and steady hand at the helm of our country’s ship of state as we sail through the perilous waters of our future. President Bush is that trustworthy leader. He is known and respected throughout all of our shrinking and agitated world. The free people of that world are looking to this country, whether or not we like it, for the leadership in foreign affairs that both President Reagan and President Bush have demonstrated. MAURICE HERNDON Sperryville Fundraiser was successful To the Editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, I want to thank the Rappahannock community for supporting our recent fundraising endeavor at the White Elephant in Warrenton. The results far surpassed our expectations. Many local citizens contributed items to be sold, and the Rappahannock News helped us spread the word about the project to benefit animal welfare. To all who helped, many, many thanks. BARBARA DENNIS Amissville

Bywaters of Flint Hill recently received his 30-year award for service with the Virginia Department of Transportation. Mr. Bywaters, a former superintendent at the Washington, Va. area headquarters, is now maintenance manager at the Warrenton residency office. Community center underway Residents of Rappahannock County are one step closer to having a community center. On Sept. 17, six volunteers spent the day cleaning up a building in Washington, Va. that has been vacant for the past several years. The project called the Day of Caring was chosen by Angie White following a converstation with Louis Butler who informed her of a group of local citizens who wanted to see the old auction house return to its former use as a community center. Mrs. While recalled the building being used for May Day celebrations and place for high school and church activities. Executive director of the Piedmont United Way Betty Roberts expressed thanks to the volunteers who participated in Rappahannock’s Day of Caring project: Michelene Hostetter, Shirley Hackley, Tony Green, Cindy Anderson, Angie White and Louis Butler. She also expressed thanks to the businesses who supported this project, including Faith Mountain, Country Cafe, Hackley’s Store, Dennis Store, Flint Hill Grocery, Baldwin’s Grocery and the Inn at Little Washington. Those interested in making a donation call Betty Roberts at 825-7615. ►RLEP From PageA-1 tty,” she said. “But there will be nothing living in them. ” Buck Cline, with the state Department of Forestry, presented a slide show on forest management. He said the state is promoting a forest stewardship program to encourage owners of private forests to promote multiple uses of the woods. Mr. Cline said in the past his department has been concerned primarily with maximizing the production of forest products. He said owners are now being encouraged to manage forests for other purposes such as protecting wildlife, protecting wetlands, and recreation. He said only one Rappahannock landowner has become involved in the stewardship program so far, but he encouraged more to take part. Helen Smith described the study of county water supplies undertaken by the extension service. She said the main problems the study found were manganese, corrosiveness and bacteria in water supplies. She said most of the participants with problems in their water supplies had taken or plan to take some corrective action as a result of the study. — By SHARON KILPATRICK “If you like saving money on car insurance, give me ahonk?’ Before the cost of Insuringyour cur leaves you a total wreck. giv e me a beep, a honk, or even a simple plume call.

The board agreed that the flag should be lighted so it can stay up at night. Following an executive session the board voted to give part-time assistant Ellen Pullen a raise. The board has received warnings from the state library about library finances. Two-thirds of the local income for the library must come from taxes and endowments. Other local income must be less than 15 percent of local income. Member Grace Sims noted that in the past the library’s income from investments was reported as endow ment income. For the past two years it has been reported as income from investments. “We were always in compliance; it’s just what we call it,” she said. Chairman William Young has appointed treasurer Helen Platt, John McCarthy, and John Hartline to the finance committee. Jamie Jamieson and Ed Barton from the Friends of the Rappahannock Library will also serve on this committee. This committee will make recommendations on how to handle the local income issue.

Commission votes for zoning exemption Town Hall use is debated by town Planning Commission By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock »w« Staff Writer The town of Washington’s Planning Commission voted unanimously on Monday night to recommend to the Town Council that the town of Washington be exempt from the zoning ordinance for the village residential district where the Town Hall is located. The Planning Commission was asked by the Town Council to make recommendations to the Council regarding the uses to which the Town Hall can and should be put. By exempting the town from the zoning ordinance, the town would then be limited as to use of the Town Hall by its sensitivity to the needs and wishes of the citizens, said Town Attorney Frank Reynolds in a memo to the Planning Commission, outlining four various options for use of Recycling is good business for everyone. the Town Hall. Exempting the town from the zoning ordinance, stated Mr. Reynolds, was a viable option because the Council is answerable to its citizens, as opposed to the situation with a private owner, who is not. “Should it allow uses not acceptable to its citizens, the Council can be made to answer to the voting public.” Other options listed by Mr. Reynolds were: • Rezone the area to either Mixed Village Use or Village Services, thus allowing more flexibility in permitted uses • Proceed as much as possible under the Non-conforming Use part of the zoning ordinance, which would allow the town to use the building as it has been used in past, as long as the use had not been discontunued for a period of two years • Adopt a variation of the county’s “Adaptive Re-use” category in its zoning ordinance, which, stated Mr. Reynolds, did not have the political baggage associated with the exemption idea and could be beneficial to the rest of the town in certain cases. Adaptive Re-use, explained Mr. Reynolds, means that there may be structures in a certain zoning district which do not meet with the prevailing character of the district and which are not longer useful for the original purpose. However, the structure may have some value, either historically, architecturally or merely economically and should be preserved. As to the prospective uses of the building, Mr. Reynolds recommended that the language in the deed conveying the building from the county to the town was “sufficiently broad to allow the town to use the building as a public meeting hall, office, storage of records and for rental or donation by the town to others for short-term events which do not interfere with the normal “public” uses of the building by the town. Mr. Reynolds stated, “I find this because the language in the deed defines public purposes as '‘any activity a municipality is authorized to undertake by the Code of Virginia. ’ Municipalities are authorized to rent out their facilities for shortterm events and may even restrict the use of certain public property to private persons for events. This even includes the streets of the town and therefore the Town Hall can also be so restricted.” Committee chairman Louise Van Dort commented that the Town Hall doesn’t lend itself to many types of functions because it has no food preparation area and minimal restroom facilities. Committee member Susan Parrish added that there was a lack of parking as well. Ms. Van Dort -added that the acoustics in the Town Hall did not lend themselves to musical functions. In other matters, the Planning Commission decided that in preparation for the final revision of the town zoning ordinance, Ms. Van Dort would gather copies of all amendments added since 1986 and enter them into her computer. She also said she will get a copy of the complete ordinance. All of the information will go on computer disk. Ms. Parrish expressed concern about state amendments “that we might not know about.” The Commission voted to request all changes in law from Planning District 9 in order to bring the ordinance up to date. It was decided that the Commission would ask the Town Council for $1,200 to pay for the service. Ground^ Beef . 5 Lb.

The Meadows had beginnings as log cabin The 36th annual Rappahannock House Toot and Dried Flower Sale, sponsored by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18. The three houses to be shown on this year’s tour will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Headquarters for the event will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington, Va. The Parish Hall will also serve as sales room for hundreds of dried flower arrangements prepared by ladies of Trinity Church and others in the community. Box lunches by ladies of Washington First Baptist Church will also be available. The first of these is The Meadows, located at the foot of Porter Street in Washington, the home of Edward and Martha Barton. The lovely house had its beginning, as did so many in the county, as a log cabin, this one having been built by Francis Browning prior to 1749. It is now incorporated into the southern part of the north wing and the original logs are still seen in a closet on the lower floor. About 1781 the cabin passed to William Porter who added a second story and a twostory addition to the north end. William and his wife Sarah had 13 children here. In 1810 Porter built the four-story Federal house adjoining to the south but the two were not connected until the 1950’s. In 1822 the property was deeded to Dr. Daniel Mason who married Sarah, daughter of William and Sarah Porter, in 1819. Ten children of this marriage were bom in the house. In 1845 the property was named The Meadows. The Mason name returned to the Meadows in 1905 when Clay Mason married Katherine Strother. It is interesting to note that the earliest record of a postmaster in Washington is a John Strother, located here in 1804. The main entrance to the house is on the second floor which leads into a wide hall. To the left is a formal dining room with two matching fireplaces faced in black, Brazilian granite. The Meadows, home of Ed and Martha Barton, at the foot of Porter Street in Washing* ton, Va., is one of the homes featured on the house tour and dried flower sale. Immediately to the right are steps leading up to the master suite, bedroom, sitting room and large, marble-floored bath, and down to an “English basement” of guest rooms and the lower floor of the original building now a tap room and sitting room with fireplace. Back in the hall, on the right, is a stately stair to the upper bedrooms, and the attic which served in the Civil War as a “surgery” where wounded were treated. Beyond the hall is the latest addition, completed in 1990, a large, glass-walled living room overlooking the smoke house, flagged terrace and swimming pool, the ice house and pastures. To the left of the living room, down a short hall, is the large, modem German-designed and built kitchen which was featured in the professional designers’ publication “Kitchens 1992.” Noteworthy in the living room is the unique inlaid floor, a copy of that in the Sobieski Palace in Warsaw, Poland. Displayed in the living room are numerous works of art collected by the Bartons on their world-wide travels. These works include a magnificent collection of Ch’ing dynasty vases and bowls from China; a Richard Hart acrylic female sculpture, an example of Mayan stone carving, and several paintings. Visitors with an interest in Scottish history will appreciate a silverset horn spoon, displayed on a Stewart tartan, which belonged to Bonnie Prince Charlie and was a christening gift to Ed Barton. The many additional works in paint, stone, print and textiles from Italy to Zimbabwe, to Indonesia, will keep an art lover interested for hours. The Meadows is another lovely example of architectural design, taste and ways of life spanning the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Tea will be served here both afternoons of the tour. Additional houses to be shown include “711 Main St.” in the center of the village 'of Flint Hill and “Keysville Post,” 4.4 miles east of Flint Hill on Route 647. Tickets are $10 for the tour of all three houses and tea and $3.50 for individual houses. These may be obtained at the tour houses or tour headquarters at Trinity Church in Washington. Also open during the weekend will be the Rappahannock County Historical Society building on Gay Street and the Washington Museum at Main and Porter Streets.

Knuepfer, Route 1, Box 1080, Washington, Va. 22747, 675-3744. ‘Crossroads: Festival of Performances' By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Repeating its great success from last year, Ki Theatre will present “Crossroads: A Festival of Performances” at 8 p.m. on Oct. 10-11. The theme this year, “plays, songs, dance and stories that explore 20th century America,” will be presented by three women, all of whom are nationally known as writers and performers. It promises to be a most entertaining and stimulating evening. Coordinated by Washington’s owm Julie Portman, artistic director for Ki Theatre, the production will star Ms. Portman acting in two of her own plays entitled “From My Family Album,” on Oct. 10 and Sharon Wyrrick’s dance theater piece, “Where’s the Milk?” and National Public Radio commentator Kate Long’s stories and songs on Oct. 11. “Crossroads represents something we want to do each year that symbolizes the crossing of artists from inside and outside the community,” explained Ms. Portman. “This year because it . was Columbus Day weekend, the humerous little part of Julie Portman myself decided it would be fun to celebrate that with women.” “From My Family Album,” explained Ms. Portman, is a collection of two plays she wrote about her parents. Although the plays have toured extensively, this performance marks the first time that the two plays have been done together. One of the plays, “Katie Malone,” \ • \ . ■ is written about Ms. Portman’s mother, the other, “How Dad Created the World,” is about her father. The plays incorporate storytelling, acting and music, which, said Ms. Portman, would be viewed by regular theater people as rather unconventional. “These plays have their own unusual nature,” she said. Ms. Portman, whose father was a professional musician and whose mother was a pianist and organist, grew up surrounded by music. “I had an unusual family,” said Ms. Portman. “These plays could almost write themselves.” “Katie Malone” was performed in Africa when Ms. Portman and her husband Paul Reisler toured there earlier this summer. The play, which focuses the life of pure Irish Katie Malone, was enormously popular and well received. “I was startled by its popularity over there,” she said. “Apparently the audience, although of a different culture, was able to share the common human experience of this play.” Sharon Wyrrick, a Woodville resident, is a well known dance theater artist. Although she has her own dance company, she also performs with Ki Theatre. Ms. Portman explained that “Where’s the Milk?” is not a play but a dance theater piece. “It puts together elements of movement that combine with the story creating a most unusual effect. She is a very fine performer,” said Ms. Portman. Kate Long, who is a commentator for National Public Radio and a national award winning writer, will present “Ordinaries,” which are tales of a rural girl exploring life, religion and politics surrounded by songs of ordinary people and life’s dilemmas. “Kate is an extremely witty and intelligent writer!” said Ms. Portman. Tickets for both performances are $15. Single tickets in advance are $8 for members, $9 for general public or $10 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Mountainside Market and the Country Cafe in Washington, Va., New Leaf Bookstore in Warrenton, Royal Oak Bookstore and Better Thymes in Front Royal and Culpeper Music in Culpeper. For more information, call Ki Theatre at 675-3946. Roundabout 'My Cousin Vtnny' is movie “My Cousin Vinny,” rated |r, starring Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio, Marisa Tomei, Mitchell Whitfield and Fred Gwynne will be shown at The Theatre at Washington, Va. on Sunday, the weekly RAAC-sponsored movie. When Vinny (Joe Pesci), a fenderbender lawyer from New York who grabs whatever comes his way and bullies it into something great, is called upon to defend his nephew (Ralph Macchio) and a friend in an Alabama courtroom due to a ridiculous misunderstanding; the two youths have been accused of murder. In this mediocre courtroom caper, Vinny’s got his work cut out for him. But as soon as he appears, he takes care of the funny business. But, crusty, illtempered, short on patience judge Fred Gwynne is big on procedure, specifically Alabama procedure! In coming weeks, the Theatre’s RAAC movies series will feature: “Wayne’s World,” Oct. 11; “Beethoven,” Oct. 18 and “Cyrano De Bergerac,” Oct. 25. Exhibit in October The Middle Street Gallery will host an exhibition of photography by Francie Schroeder and Henry Eastwood from Oct. 2 through Oct. 25. The exhibition “Thoughts on Paper” consists primarily of new works with a few photographs from their first exhibit at Middle Street 10 years ago in October of 1982. An opening reception to meet the photographers is planned from 5-7:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the gallery. Freyda Epstein to perform Freyda Epstein and the Atta Boys are scheduled to perform at the The Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 17. Ms. Epstein, who was a member of Trapezoid, and the Atta Boys, composed of Ralph Gordon, also a former member of Trapezoid, and Bob Vasile, a former member of the Praitie Heads, will perform a blend of folk, jazz and blues with innovative instrumental infused with classical influence. Jeff Foster's band named 'best of best' By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Jeff Foster, son of Randolph and Lilo Foster of Washington, Va., has been playing the bapjo ever since he was a child. Last week this life-long passion paid off in a major way when the 32-yearold engineer now living in Bristol, as part of a unique band called Special Delivery, won the Pizza Hut International Bluegrass Showdown in Owensboro, Ky. The four-piece band had placed first in the Mid-Atlantic regional finals this summer and competed against five other bluegrass bands in the contest. Special Delivery, described as a Virginia-based band “steeped in tradition” was named the “best of the best” in the battle of the bands which included six of the top emerging bands in the United States and Canada. ■The contest was part of the agenda of Bluegrass Homecoming Week in Owensboro, an event that was carried on radio in both the United States and Canada. The British Broadcasting Corp., Voice of America and others handled it by tape delay. Noted stars such as Tom T. Hall, Hazel Dickens, Pete Wernick, Jesse McReynolds and J.D. Crowe played for the crowds at Jeff Foster the festival which, said the mayor of Owensboro, promises to become tp bluegrass what Nashville is to country music and New Orleans is to jazz. Winner Special Delivery took home a contract with Pinecastle Records of Orlando, Fla., new banjos and guitars, some strings, a professional photo session, several major bookings for 1993 and a chance to talk with agents at the trade show. Besides Foster, the band includes Duane Compton on mandolin, Tom Foley on bass and Billy Houchins on guitar. Foster lives in Bristol and the other three are from Richlands, Va. Foster who grew up in Rappahannock, graduated from Rappahannock High School and VPI with a degree in mechanical engineering. He. has been with the band only four months. “We are understandably very proud of Jeff,” said Mrs. Foster, a retired teacher’s aid here in the county. “He loves this music so much, although I have to admit I hope he won’t quit his real job, just yet anyway.” For the money, not the applause Why do I do this? Not tor money, certainly, which next to love, makes the world go around. Not for love either, now that that word popped up. To find the answer I must go bade to the beginning, or, why did I start the column? It was a sunny Sunday, riding the back roads in Rappahannock, the most beautiful spot in the world when I came upon some discarded kittens. I wrote a letter to the editor, exaggerated, waxed humorous, got rid of the cats and reeerved complements on my writing. It was the complements that did it folks. That is why I started. And that is why I still do it, for the I never had any daydreams of being a writer, maybe an actor, an inventor, a public speaker, a big lottery winner, but not a writer. I just looked, a moment ago, at the transcript of my college grades. My English literature and composition grades on the percentage scale waa about a 78 percent and remembering.that they graded on the hated curve I probably stood about 750 out of 800. A little above “Dick and Jane” but no tion. My ego’s need for applause is the driving force. I in a group \ I had placed myself on the fringe, next to a piano, ming the introvert's role, [ that I would sro unnoticed > of nowhere, Off,I So you Day By Day fects me? That is why I keep plug- i ging along, writing this column. I • try to please the reader with humour and exaggeration, laughter or tears as long as someone comes * up and says "like it.” I occasional espouse a serious cause, some people like that, some do not. A school teacher sometimes mentions that my tenses do not agree or my plurals are not in tune. But school teachers have to realize that I am not working hard at this nor am I trying to pass the course. Should I detire to write a book from this I will ask an old teacher for help. When I create one of these i masterpieces I try to make be-; tween 400 and 500 words. Since I • am a bit short I want to reproduce 5 a letter (as well as I can remember t it) in the hope that it will move; you. I have permission from the< originator and recipient to publish as long ss the names are withheld. The letter is from a father to his daughter. The daughter was despondent over fife’s career disappointments. The father rarely wrote letters but believed in this one's importance. It was a love. letter. pll; “Dear Daughter, I am in awe of your talent and When your voice calls I am thrilled and when you touch me, I I will love you all the rest at my life as I have since the day that you were bora. I will miss you when I am gone. Daddy” wjfc ^ - -»^ jii
