Nation's best restaurant is Inn's latest accolade Beard Awards bestow culinary Oscar By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer At the “Academy Awards of Food,” The Ion at Little Washington brought home an Oscar. Honored as the nation’s best restaurant by the James Beard Awards, owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch accepted the accolade at a ceremony Monday evening at New York City’s Marriott Marquis. “It was a complete surprise,” chef O’Connell said. The five nominees, he -added, “are absolutely the finest restaurants in the country. We never thought we’d receive such an honor.” The Inn bested famed New York restaurants Le Cirque and the Four Seasons, the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, and Cafe Annie in Houston for the prestigious honor. The awards are named for the late James Beard, one of the giants of the culinary world and a pioneer of what came to be known as the “New American Cuisine.” Beard stressed the use of fresh ingredients, light sauces and introduced the barbecue grill to the rarified atmosphere of fine dining. The James Beard Foundation was established to continue his legacy, and the awards recognize outstanding achievements in the culinary arts. This week’s awards, in 38 categories, are the third annual presentations. Lynch said he never thought that Washington’s “country inn” would be selected over restaurants located in some of America’s biggest cities. “Through this prestigious award,” O’Connell said, “the James Beard Foundation acknowledges the efforts of our dedicated staff. The award also recognizes the importance of our growers and purveyors for the quality of ingredients and products which they provide us. “Our gratitude extends to everyone who has worked with us over the past 15 years to bring The Inn at Little Washington to this level of excellence,” O’Connell added. The Beard Award is but the latest in an ever-growing list of honors bestowed on The Inn over its 15-year history. It is one of just a handful of American restaurants and inns recognized by Relais et Chateaux, of France. It is a winner of Mobil Travel Guide’s Five Stars, and is the only establishment ever to receive AAA’s. Five Diamonds for. both its restaurant and overnight accomodations. Two other nearby restaurants also were honored by the James Beard Foundation. Jean-Louis Palladin, chef-owner of JeanLouis at the Watergate in the “other” Washington, shared chef of the year honors with New York’s Larry Forgione, of An American Place. And Marcel Desaulniers, chef-owner of The Trellis restaurant in Williamsburg, received the foundation's award for the year’s best desserts cookbook. County closes dumpster sites Liability concerns cited By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New, Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted Monday to close the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble and open another manned trash collection site somewhere between Washington and Sperryville. The motion also specified that the Scrabble site would be sold once the new site is available, and that the new site should be ready by October when the current trash hauling contract ends. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson voted against the motion because he said there is a group interested in another use for the Scrabble site, “and I hate to cut them off.” The supervisors put off until June voting on whether or not to enter into a contract with Fauquier County to landfill Rappahannock trash. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said the county should limit the hours that the new site and the landfill are open so that the county does not have to pay for another full-time employee. Earlier, Col. E.P. Luke questioned the figures used to estimate the cost of continuing to operate the landfill. He said it was not reasonable to add the entire cost of monitoring the landfill for 20 additional years to the cost of the next cell at the landfill. Col. Luke also said he would oppose closing the dumpster sites and relying on private haulers to handle trash. He said he believes that would lead to illegal dumps all over the county and would amount to “a hidden tax.” However, Col. Luke said he would not object to closing the dumpster site at Scrabble if one is located between Washington and Sperryville. Later the board went into executive session to discuss purchasing a site for schools and other public use and to discuss personnel. No action was taken following that executive session. The board learned that the new state Family Court may require the county to spend more for record storage. Some records that have been handled by Circuit Court and some business of District Court will be transferred to the new Family Court. See Dumps, Page A-6 Decision on sludge application tabled Speakers urge lifting of ban - By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer After holding a public hearing Monday night at which the experts nearly outnumbered the public, the Board of Supervisors said they will wait until the June meeting to vote on whether to lift the moratorium on spreading sludge on county farmland. Bob Peer and Steve McMahan attended the meeting representing Bio Gro Systems, a firm that specializes in contracting with sewage treatment plants to spread their sludge on farmland. Tom Faha and Laura Sawyer attended representing the State Water Control Board, now a part of the Department of Envoronmental Quality. Hugh Egbom attended on behalf of the State Department of Health, and A1 Goldsmith, director of comrqpnity development in Fauquier County, attended to tell about that county’s experience with allowing sludge application on farmland. Mr. Peer said Bio Gro has contracts to spread sludge on farmland in 15 Virginia counties and also in Maryland and other states. He said when his firm is approached by farmers they go through the permitting process with state officials and then spread the sludge “at the land owner’s discretion according to his cropping system.” He said the sludge can save the farmer between $40 and $80 per acre in fertilizer costs. There is no cost to the farmer for the sludge, he explained. Bio Gro gets its funds from the municipalities that pay to have the sludge removed. He said sludge provides nitrogen, phosphorus and trace minerals, but is deficient in potash. He added that sludge can be used to raise the pH of the soil up to 6.8, and that the nitrogen needs of the crop or the pH will be the limiting factor in determining how much is used. He said the application usually provides enough nitrogen for the initial crop and between one-fourth and one-third of the needs for the next two years. Mr. Faha said that the Department of Environmental Quality handles applications for permits to spread sludge. He said that it requires monthly reporting by firms such as Bio Gro covering such items as where sludge is being spread, the source of the sludge, and information on the fields it is spread on. He said once an application is received the departgment advertises See Sludge, Page A-6 Tour DuPont race wheels through on Monday By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer Professional cycling’s Tour DuPont gets rolling Thursday afternoon in Wilmington, Del., and wheels through Front Royal and Rappahannock County next Monday. The ultimate finish line for the 1,085-mile event is in Greensboro, N.C. The winning cyclist — with'the lowest accumulated time for all 11 stages — will get $40,000 and a new Saturn automobile. Total prize money: $200,000. “This year’s Tour promises to be the best and most exciting to date,” said Michael Plant, executive director of the Tour DuPont and president of Richmond-based Medalist Sports Inc. “What makes this event unique, however, is the estimated two million spectators who’ll line the course.” The 11-day race begins with an individual time trial. Monday’s Stage 5 is a 100-mile road race from downtown Front Royal to the Massanutten Resort. Tour DuPont organizers describe the Stage 5 course as “the first serious challenge of the Tour,” with three testing climbs. Cyclists will arrive in Front Royal on Monday morning via an auto transfer from the finish line of Sunday’s .Stage 4 from Pen Mar, Md. to Hershey, Pa. Monday’s stage race begins at noon and should end about four hours later. Among the best viewing areas along the route: Thornton Gap (leaders should roll through between 1:25 p.m. and 1:35 p.m.) and Sperryville (1:45-1:56 p.m.). Sperryville will feature one of 24 sprint lines in the event. The top six riders through a designated point on the course are given points towards the Sprint Leader award. One of the top U.S. cyclists, Davis Phinney, won the Sprint Leader competition in 1991. With defending champion Greg LeMond opting to prepare for the Tour de France, the race favorite appears to be Raul Alcala, a native of Mexico who’s ranked No. 11 in the world. He won the race in 1990, when it was known as the Tour de Trump, and is considered among the sport’s best climbers. That’s a skill that will come in handy in Stage 5, which includes three serious climbs of 2,000 feet or more — at Thornton Gap, Swift Run Gap and up to the finish line at Massanutten, located in the mountains outside of Harrisonburg. Highlights of Stage 5 will be seen Monday on ESPN at 6:30 p.m. Tour DuPont The route for Stage 5 of the Tour DuPont starts in Front Royal and rolls ~ through Rappahanr||§ji§ County on Monday, May 10.

Soccer, track teams lead Panther sports Baseball\ softball squads struggle with erratic pitching By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi SUIT Writer Again soccer and track have provided the good news for high school sports in the past week. The soccer team won its second game 2 to 1 Friday at Madison. Both of Rappahannock’s goals were made fairly early in the first period. Jonathan Maeyer and Oliver Crump got those early goals, and the first half ended with Rappahannock ahead 2 to .0. About half way through the second half Madison got its only goal. Following the game, coach Uli Maeyer said the Rappahannock squad had four chances to score in the first half and got goals out of two of them. “After that it became a defensive battle,” he said. He said Madison’s one goal occurred when goalie Kevin Joliffe was unable to see through the crowd of defenders. 'T told them to leave it open so the goalie can see the guy that shoots,” he said. “We’ll have to work on that in practice.” He said extra running in practice had improved his team’s physical condition. Earlier in the week the team had lost 1 to 0 in a game with William Monroe in Stanardsville. Coach Maeyer said he felt his team played very well in that game but lost anyway. “That’s the way it goes sometimes,” he said. “Our play is coming together.” The soccer team will play a home game against Randolph Macon Academy on Thursday. Track squad shines Rappahannock team members got six first place wins in a track meet with Culpeper Monday. Jason Waters was first in the two-mile run. Alice Reeve got first place in both the shot put and discus. Chris Payne was first in the 800 meter run. Randy Early came in first in the 110 high hurdles, and the relay team of Willie Shanks, Jason Settle, Mike Gilkey and John Mallory came in first in the 4 x 100 meter relay. Second place awards went to Mike Grimsley in the two-mile run, Jacob Butler in the 110 hurdles, Amber Early in the 100 hurdles, Willie Shanks in the 100 and 200-meter dashes, Randy Early in the 400 meter run, Jessica Jacobs in the shot put, Magarita Cortez in the discus, and Sari Pellimen in the two-mile run. Results from an earlier track meet at George Mason last week were not available at press time. Ball teams fall Both baseball and softball teams lost home games against Page County Tuesday and away games against Brentsville Thursday. Of the Page baseball game Coach Mike Tupper said, “Leroy North pitched an outstanding game. He pitched well enough to win,” but Page won 5 to 0. Three of the Page runs came on a controversial hit. The ball apparently hit right fielder J.C. Welch’s glove and then went through the bushes and out of play. On the home field balls hit over the brush fence in that area are ruled doubles, and only one run would score on such a hit, but because Welch got his glove on the ball before it went out of play the runners were allowed to continue around the bases. Rappahannock players didn’t Pitcher Leroy North was stung by a controversial call in game against Page County.

In the Brentsville game the baseball team hit much better but still came up short, 25 to 11. “We were making contact with the ball throughout the game,” Coach Mike Tupper said, “but Brentsville just out hit us,” getting two home runs, three triples, one double and 12 singles. “We pulled to within five runs in the fifth inning, but they continued to score at will,” Tupper said. He noted that there are no fences around the Brentsville field and that a ball hit over the outfielder’s head continued to roll. “It wasn’t a well pitched ballgame, and they are an excellent hitting team,” he said, adding that he believes Rappahannock will do better against the Brentsville team next week when the Panthers have the home field advantage. In the Brentsville game Rappahannock players got 10 hits including a home run by Hunter Foster, triples by Leroy North and Richie Lillard and doubles by James FORMAL GOWN RENTALS Large Selection Sizes • Colors • Styles | BY APPOINTMENT (703) 675-3428 Evenings DAWN FISHER Washington, Va 22747 s PUBLIC NOTICE Date of Election of Soil and Water Conservation District Directors Notice of Filing Nominating Petitions, Declaration of Candidacy & A Certificate of Candidate Qualification An election of Directors for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District will be held in the general election on November2,1993.

Participants came from Fauquier, Culpeper, Warren, Loudon, and Clarke county schools as well as local schools. Rappahannock had 15 participants, most from the elementary school, but two from the high school. Band Director Wendy Whitford oraganized the festival, a massive undertaking. Seven rooms were set up for judges and performers. Another seven rooms were set aside as warm-up rooms for participants to use just before performing, and the audi: torium served as a general warmup room and for instrument storage. Performances were scheduled in 10-minute intervals. Volunteers staffed the registration table, and student runners served to make sure participants were where they needed to be to warm up and perform for the judges. Liz Blubaugh and Lilo Wolfe made sure partipants, music tea chers, parents, and siblings were well fed by operating Lizzie’s Cafe. The copy machine in the office was kept busy making sure the judges had copies of the music to be performed. Students performed for about seven minutes as soloists or in duets or groups of up to five. The judges then gave the performers some general evaluations and filled out forms ranking them from five, the highest, to one. Many of the students, particularly the soloists, required accompanists, and frequently their music teachers served in that capacity. With students performing in any one of seven rooms, the accompanists were kept busy making sure they were ready when their students were required to perform, and a room runnning behind schedule could throw everything else off schedule. This is the first year Rappahannock has hosted this annual event, and most participants were pleased with the way the day went. “I’m real pleased,” Ms. Whitford said as the afternoon performances were underway. By then all rooms were back on schedule. “I’ve had a lot of positive feedback,” she added. Arnold, Hitt selected for advanced studies Two Rappahannock County High School students have been accepted into special governor’s schools this summer. Jessica Arnold, a rising junior, was accepted into the Governor’s School for the Gifted. She will be studying at the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond for six weeks this summer. She will be studying obstetrics, pediatrics and the chemical analysis of DN A. Miss Arnold was selected by RCHS to apply for one of the openings at the Governor’s School, and then went through a formidable application process. Among other requirements, ap plicants were asked write applying for a position as an apprentice to a past or present master in some field. Miss Arnold wrote to apply for a position with the Underground Railroad in 1826. Tracy Lynn Hitt, a rising senior, will be attending the Governor’s School for the Arts studying vocal music at the University of Richmond for four weeks. She is a soprano and had to win acceptance in a regional audition. Guidance counselor Joyce Brown said that the school is very pleased that these two students were selected. “A lot of kids wanted to go,” she said. “It was pretty competitive just to be nominated from here.” f Mother's Day Roses $27.50 a dozen - arranged Price Includes: Vase, Bow, Baby's Breath, Greenery Fresh Arrangements in baskets & containers.$15.00 & up Mums.$17.50 Green Plants.$15.00 & up Balloons..$ 2.50 Stuffed Animals available CULPEPER FLORIST Designs by "I'm.

The Audit Bureau Necessary decision No one, including the supervisors who voted for it, is going to be happy about closing the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble. For years, the dumpsters have served residents in the northern and southwestern ends of the county who are a long way from the county landfill in Amissville. We’re sure that the containers have reduced litter on the roadsides, and there’s no doubt that they have been convenient and saved a bunch of energy otherwise burned by residents driving nearly to the county line east of Amissville to (lump their trash. I However, there are other concerns. The supervisors have been wrangling over those concerns since before the new landfill was permitted several years ago. At that time, they vpry nearly voted to close the unattended dumpster sites in fevor of, perhaps, one centrally-located site between Sperryville and Washington. The major problem is liability. Unattended disposal sites are attractive targets for midnight dumpers, who can haul geodness-knows-what from heaven-knows-where into Rappahannock and deposit it in the bins. Once it’s there, it becomes the county’s problem. Physical liability is another, perhaps overlooked problem. The unfenced dumpsters are inviting targets for dumpster divers, who sort through the trash for discarded treasures. If one of them were to be hurt, the county would face a potential liability. Cost is another concern. Obviously, paying an attendant to staff the container site will increase the county’s disposal costs. However, one point discussed by the supervisors is that by opting for a tended site, the county may have additional bidders for the disposal service, thus perhaps reducing the contract cost. The county’s current contractor owns the bins and the disposal equipment and, through that arrangement, also has an inside track on the business. With a fenced site, open at set hours and staffed by an attendant, the county at least has some control over what is deposited in our landfill. Most surrounding counties have adopted that approach, and although it is expensive, it seems to work. The dire predictions of increased littering haven’t come to pass. Some residents have legitimate concerns about access to the proposed site, which the county plans to locate on as-yet unnamed property on the U.S. 211 corridor near Washington. It seems obvious that the hours must be convenient for the many residents who work outside the county. The site would also serve a dual purpose by consolidating trash disposal and recycling operations into one location, thus improving control over the recycling project. We’re not sure how much free enterprise, in the form of garbage collection service, the supervisors’ decision will mean. But if that business increases even a little bit, so much the better for the enterprising entrepreneurs. In short, there are bound to be complaints about the supervisors’ decision. But it really was a necessary one. The rules of trash disposal have changed a lot since every farm had an open trench or convenient gully out back. If the supervisors provide a suitable alternative, we don’t think that the county’s residents will find the dumpsters’ closing too much of a loss. Shared accolades The Rappahannock community can justly be proud of the recognition given to the world-renowned Inn at Little Washington. This week it garnered yet another award as the nation’s best restaurant. Owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch rightly passed the praise along to the members of the community who have helped them along the way, as employees and purveyors. Much of The Inn’s success is due to their efforts. We hope they, along with Messrs. O’Connell and Lynch, take pride in the accomplishments of themselves and their neighbors, and the significance of The Inn’s many honors. Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan An apple orchard near Washington is in full spring bloom. Misleading editorial? To the Editor: The Piedmont Environmental Council is one of the organizations that suggested Tier III designation for the two stretches of the Rappahannock River mentioned in your highly misleading editorial of April 28. Please allow us to correct your mistakes. Yes, Tier III would mean that no additional discharges of sewage effluent could be placed in the designated stream stretch. But Tier III would not mean no additional discharge into streams emptying into the designated waters. Tier III designation of the Rappahannock above Carter’s Run would have absolutely no impact on the future of Sperryville, Washington, or most of the other towns of Rappahannock County. Your editorial totally missed the mark in suggesting to the contrary. Tier III designation of the Rappahannock above Carter’s Run would, we believe, be totally consistent with and supportive of the comprehensive plans of both Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, which call for the Rappahannock corridor above Carter’s Run to remain in agricultural, forestal, and environmental land uses. A water quality initiative that will have an impact on Rappahannock County is the 40 percent “nutrient reduction strategy” of the Chesapeake Bay Agreement. This strategy is in the early stages of formulation in Virginia, so we don’t yet know how exactly it will apply. But, in its simplest form, it would require a 40 percent reduction in phosphorous and nitrogen entering the Bay drainage from all sources in Rappahannock County — and then holding them at a constant level forever. Again oversimplifying, that would mean a 40 percent reduction in nutrients in the Sperryville discharge — and no nutrients at all in any new discharges. From that perspective, Tier III is apiece of cake. ROBERT T. DENNIS President, PEC (Editor’s note: Waters from the Rush, Covington, Thornton and Hazel Rivers join the Rappahannock River between sections recommended for Tier III status.) Telephone reform sought To the Editor Does a county with less than 7,000 people really need six separate telephone exchanges (364, 547, 635, 675,937 and 987). Does the 937 exchange really need to be able to call locally into a fourth county before it can even call its own county seat. 937 is called Culpeper but most of it is in Rappahannock County. Does anyone find it unusual that 937 can call locally all the way to Germanna College (in Orange County; almost to Fredericksburg) and to Wolftown (in Madison County, almost to Charlottesville). Amissville (937) can call locally to Sperryville, as it should be able to; but must call long distance half way there to Washington, Va. Does anyone know of any reasons other than greed why years ago Washington and Flint Hill could call Huntly and Front Royal locally but no longer can. Does there exist in Virginia any other counties with a toll call line thru the center of the county. Washington to Rock Mills is a toll toll. Does anyone think this unfair situation would continue if the powers that be in Rappahannock told C & P and Centel to fix the problem or lose their franchise. There are other phone companies in Va. Does anyone think Centel and C & P would disconnect the whole county if everyone did not pay their bills until this unfair situation changes. Why can 937 call more than 2 1/2 county and 675 only 1/2 of a county. Does anyone else even care? THOMAS WILKINS Washington Cartoon is sick joke To the Editor: The cartoon on the editoral page in the April 14th issue depicting a clown as the White House Health Plan and an unimpressed, uninsured patient in a hospital bed is indeed a sick joke. Before President Clinton can even complete and present to the American people a national health plan, its phantom image is being belittled and attacked by the unenlightened who, like Don Quixote, mistakingly perceive windmills as evil giants to be slaughtered and wade blindly in, sword a-swinging. At least Don Quixote had high sentiments. Have you ever held your screaming child in your arms so hot with fever you felt he/she would burn you and wondered what to do? Have you ever suffered through an asthma attack without the medication you knew could be the difference between you surviving such and attack or not? Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night with severe chest pain and shortness of breath knowing you should rush to the emergency room, but knew to do so and not be having a heart attack could cost you as much as a thousand dollars, anyway (6.6 percent of your annual salary if you make $7.20 an hour.) and to be right would wipe out your family assets for years to come. Do you know the despair and guilt that comes from watching your newborn child fight for its life because of a problem that would have been detected and corrected before birth had there been money for prenatal care. If you’re fortunate enough to have health insurance, the money it will cost you for care is probably just an inconvenience, putting off the new C.D. player or vacation. But, if you’re not so fortunate, the decision you make based heavily on what it will cost, could mean a life or financial ruin and, therefore, the ruin of a family. As in the instances above, there is always unneccessary suffering. Routine procedures become emergencies and true emergencies often result in longer hospitalizations and/or preventable deaths. It happens every day right here in this county simply because there is no health plan to fall back on. Imagine your shattered life if something like this were to happen to you or yours. Imagine the helplessness you would feel if you were forced to make a decision on health knowing that either way you chose could be detrimental to your family. It’s inhumane to allow such a thing to happen. I guarantee you that the patient lying in the bed in that cartoon would praise anyone who could help relieve them from such mental anguish, let alone the physical agony. We all would. A national health plan fits well into the American ideology, the people have voted for it and are willing to pay for it, common sense and common decency demand it, and finally, we have a man in the White House with the vision and compassion to make it happen. The only joke will be if it doesn’t happen — a cruel joke. VASCOJONES Marshall Where's the missing gun? To the Editor: On Sept. 22, 1990 I wrote a check to the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department for $60. This money was for two tickets in their raffle for a gun, in which a total of 52 winners would receive a gun. Lfelt $60 was a lot for a raffle, but I knew that it was also a donation*to help the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department. In February of 1991, I received a call at my home notifying me that I had won a .30-.30 gun. I was excited, it was the first time I had won anything, but now my excitement has turned to disappointment and anger. As of today, April 8,1993,1 have yet to receive my gun, and my check has long since been cashed. I have made numerous calls to the people of Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department concerning this matter. My call to them have either Me* been ignored or ended in promises that were not kept. Knowing that my calls were not being taken seriously, I contacted Roger Cordani, who sold me ttig tickets. Mr. Cordani also made nu* merous calls on my behalf, and to his* embarrassntent, his calls concerning/ this matter were unsuccessful*^ well. *■; I would not be so bitter about the1 donation if I had lost, but I did not i won and have yet to receive my gun and I feel I have been succored. 2 After all of this hassle it leavetg me wondering if this so called raffle was not just a fraud, which would have serious legal ramifications* £» know there were 52 supposed ners and I would like to know Jiow many others thought they wer» helping the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department, won a gun, and has not received their gun yet. If you were one of these people I would like to hear from you so that we mayjoin forces. Please call Tom Seltzer’ at 399-1198. If you are one of the members of* the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department be warned that if I do sot receive my gun, that this is just onb letter of many to come.

GOP convention courts disaster By JOHN GOOLRICK Often in life we are confronted by what is known as the law of unintended consequences. That is particularly the case in politics where the best laid plans of mice and men, as well as women, often go astray. • In Virginia, I think back to the times in the early 1970s when the liberal wing of the state Democratic party, anxious to advance its progressive agenda, seized control of the party leadership and purged its moderate-conservative elements. But instead of electing liberal leader Henry Howell in either 1973 or 1977, the Democrats did much to convert Mills Godwin from their party to the Republican Party and make him governor again, and then to put John Dalton in office as a GOP chief executive. The liberals certainly hadn’t intended it, but their actions were primarily responsible for turning Virginia into a true two-party state. In 1989 Republicans came up with what seemed a good idea at the time-one I must confess I fully agreed with. Instead of nominating their statewide candidates by a mass meeting-convention process, they would hold a primary election. 4 The theory behind what many regarded as a stroke of genius at the time was that a primary would avoid the brutal intra-party warfare that had damaged the party’s candidates severely in 1985. It Jvould give all candidates a chance to take their cases directly to the people so that allegations of clever maneuvers to control smoke-filled rooms could be avoided. I Of course, as we now' know, the primary proved even more divisive than the process it temporarily replaced and inflicted what turned out to be fatal wounds on the eventual gubernatorial nominee. I Now the law of intended consequences may be Forking against the GOP again. • A decision was made to hold nearly all the party’s local mass meetings in March and get them out of the tvay well before the state convention in Richmond during the first weekend in June. The theory this time was that clear winners of the dominations for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general might be projected by the time the Virginia Through Both Barrels mass meetings were all over, thus giving the prospective nominees the luxury of two long months to start preparing their general election campaigns. It was an admirable theory, so I thought, when first explained to me in detail. But, as Henny Youngman might say, a funny thing happened on the way to the convention. Namely that none of the candidates — I repeat none — who have been running for the various nominations have been willing to concede and all apparently plan to carry the fight all the way to the convention floor. This means that though the mass meetings are over and the 14,000 or so delegates selected, and though I believe it is reasonable to assume that a couple of likely convention winners can be projected on the basis of information available, the battle is nevertheless being joined every day. From what I am told delegates are being pounded with phone calls and letters from the various camps and that friction between those camps has not lessened but if anything increased dramatically in the month of April. Thus the compressed mass meeting process ostensibly designed to leave time for healing wounds has simply provided identification of targets-delegates-for renewed propaganda campaigns. The unintended consequence may well be such bitter fighting that the GOP statewide nominees leave the convention facing hostile Democrats to their front and hostile Republicans to their backs. And without the kind of party unity in statewide elections they haven’t demonstrated since 1977, the Republicans could face yet another electoral disaster.

Vandalism consisted of the prying open of doors where locks were destroyed and will have to be replaced and a door glass knocked out to gain entry to the building. At the local elmentary school the story was much the same. Any cabinet or room which had been locked was pried pi n. It appreared evident that money was the object of the break-in for marines, a camera and other items were left untouched. In the high school vo-ag shop some small welding equipment was taken. 10 YEARS AGO May 5,1983 The Rappahannock Supervisors swung their axes at the proposed 1983-84 school budget on Monday. At the end of an hour long work session, they had sliced pay increases to four percent, chopped $25,000 from capital outlay and cut two new teaching positions and summer maintenance help. That major fiscal surgery and other reductions to educational expenditures brought the total approved for the county’s public schools down to $2,448,032. The figure is $116,830 less than requested for 1983-84 and $28,333 less than approved priated for the current year. BUY ANY TORO MOWER!

►Sludge From Page A-l in the local paper noting that an application has been received to spread sludge on a particular parcel of land and seeking public comment. If the public comment warrants, he said the department would hold a public hearing. He said his department is primarily responsible to see that sludge application does not create problems for surface water or groundwater. - Spot checks are made to ensure that permit requirements are being met, he said. Mr. Egbom said when a permit is issued, the rules are clearly stated on it, Sludge must be kept a safe distance from streams, wells, and neighboring properties. He said his department would hold an informational meeting before allowing sludge application in Rappahannock County. “The criteria were developed to make the land application of sludge very safe,” he said. “There are no documented cases of problems with contamination of streams or groundwater.” Mr. Goldsmith said Fauquier County has adopted its own controls in addition to those required by the state, but that overseeing them requires money and staff time. He said Loudoun County also had its own controls but has dropped them in favor of letting state requirements prevail because of the cost. “We’ve seen the key benefits as a free source of fertilizer for the farmers, and recycling unavoidable waste,” he said. He said there have been some complaints about smells and traffic problems caused by the trucks, but that would be the same for manures or other fertilizers. “The threat is no greater, and probably less than with other fertilizers,” he said. Freddi Kumli, the only landowner to oppose spreading sludge, asked if the farmer would be liable if a firm like Bio Gro spread the sludge too close to a neighbor’s land. Ms. Sawyer said the Department of Environmental Quality would fine the operator and could revoke his permit. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said to sue successfully the neighbor would have to show he had suffered damage. Mr. McMahan said there had been no documented cases of damage, “even when the buffers were violated.” He said that there were no buffers required for fertilizers or manures. “They can be spread right up to the streams and property lines. Of the nutrients in streams, the majority are from manures and fertilizers.” Mr. Peer said he estimated that about 2,000 acres in Rappahannock might qualify for sludge application. He said that the firm is now applying sludge to corn land and will be applying it to hay and pasture during the summer months. Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked those in the audience whether they favored allowing sludge application. All but Mr. Kumli said they did. ►Dumps From Page A-l The board voted to allow Clerk Diane Bruce to contract with the county Historical Society to preserve county records. Ms. Bruce said she had received a grant from the state to help preserve her records and that the Historical Society is interested in contracting to perform the work as a way of making money for the society. County Administrator John McCarthy asked the supervisors if they wanted to join Fauquier County in urging the Department of Environmental Quality to hold a public hearing on whether or not to designate portions of the Rappahannock River for Tier III status. Fauquier County had adopted a resolution urging a public hearing to get information without either supporting or opposing Tier III status for the river. Piedmont Environmental Council president Robert Dennis said that most of the county’s streams drain through the Hazel River into a section of the river not recommended for Tier III status. He said Tier III status might affect Chester Gap and Flint Hill, but neither of those communities would be suitable for a sewage treatment plant anyway. He said Virginia is required by federal law to consider whether any of the state’s streams or rivers are sufficiently clean to qualify for Tier III status, but that the state does not have to approve any Tier III streams. He urged the county to join Fauquier in supporting the public hearing. The supervisors decided to take a “wait and see” attitude toward the issue, but to send a letter saying they are concerned about the effect Tier III status might have on the county. Debt reduction message! hea ' by Lunch Bunch f f By SHAD .PATRICK Rappahai SUIT Writer A large “L unch” made up of both men ai.^ women gathered last Wednesday to hear Martha Phillips, executive director of the Concord Coalition, discuss what citizens can do about the federal government’s debt. The Concord Coalition, formed by former Sen. Warren Rudman and former presidential candidate and Sen. Paul Tsongas, hopes to become a grass roots organization representing ordinary citizens who will pressure Congress and the president to adopt budget policies that eliminate the annual deficit and bring down the national debt. Mrs. Phillips, who had previously worked for Republican members of Congress, said that most congressmen are “good people who really know what the right thing to do is and want to do the right thing, but it gets worse and worse.” She said by forming local chapters of the Concord Coalition in every congressional district, the organization plans to “create noise and concern in their own backyards that will make it politically safe to do the right thing.” She said that taxation has held steady at 18 to 19 percent of the Gross Domestic Product wljrile spending has increased from 20 to 24 percent. “We’ve either got to get spending to 18 or 19 percent or get revenues to the spending level,;-or find a point in between,” she added. She said 47 of the 50 states, !including Virginia, have state chapters, and that in those states the organization is in the process of creating local chapters. •. * “The deficit is not like the wolf at the door,” she said. “You don’t have to respond right now. It’s more Bke termites in the basement, sapping, the economic strength of the coun-' try.” “It’s never a good time to fix the! deficit," she added. * Bill Remington of Flint Hill, a member of the Concord Coalition,! said that he is part of a group orga-; nizing a local Piedmont Chapter of the organization. He said more than 20 people have indicated they are in-; terested in joining the local group'. | DINING Mother's can enjoy their special day at THE COUNTRY CAFE featuring BREAKFAST from 8AM-11:30AM DINNER from NOON-5PM SELECT FROM: Chicken Cordon Bleu Virginia Cured Country Ham or Prime Rib Each dinner served with salad, vegetable, choice of potato and fresh bread.

Potomac String Quartet to play in Washington The Potomac String Quartet, a group of young musicians, will perform a concert of chamber music at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 16 at The Theatre at Washington, Va. The concert is free and open to the public. For their concert in Washington, Va., the Potomac will perform string quartets by Haydn (Op. 74, No. 2), Beethoven (Op. 18, No. 1) and the “Andante Cantabile” from Opus 11 of Tschaikowsky. The quartet, which has been playing together more than three years, is currently coached by Charles Wetherbee, principal second violinist in the National Symphony Orchestra. The quartet also has monthly coaching sessions with members of the Guameri String Quartet in residence at the University of Maryland. Wendy Weinberg, spokesperson for The Theatre at Washington, said that the idea of inviting young chamber musicians to perform at The Theatre came about because of the interest shown by several young people in the chamber music series from the Smithsonian which was presented at The Theatre last fall. Inviting talented young people to give a concert' which would be free and open to the public, she noted, would provide an opportunity for the community to hear more fine chamber music and at the same time an opportunity for young musicians to perform in public without the pressure of competition. The quartet’s 14-year-old first violinist, Nicolas Kendall, is a student of Ronda Cole. The second violinist, Jennifer Caine, 13, and Daniele Sahr, 15, who plays viola, are members of the Northern Virginia Youth Symphony and study with Elisabeth Adkins, associate concert master in the National Symphony Orchestra. Yumi Kendall, cellist, is a 12-year-old who studies with David Hardy, associate principal with the National Symphony Orchestra. For more information about the concert on Sunday, May 16 at 3 p.m., call The Theatre at Washington, 675-1253. The Theatre is located at the comer of Gay and Jett Streets, in the town of Washington. Bluemont country dance features Velcro Monkeys Bluemont’s series of popular oldtime country dances continues this Saturday, May 8 with the popular stringband, the Velcro Monkeys and figure caller Paul Ackerman at the Rappahannock Elementary School in Washington, Virginia. These Second Saturday dances attract people throughout the area with wonderful oldtime country dancebands and figure callers and a friendly atmosphere that welcomes both new and experienced dancers. Sponsored by the Bluemont Concert Series, the dances begin at 8 p.m. with a beginner’s workship at 7:30 p.m. Instruction and calling are provided throughout the dance; single dancers are welcome.

The Bluemont-Rappahannock Dance Committee announced a special dance on Saturday, June 5 to make up for the winter dances lost to snow. . 5. The Velcro Monkeys Jgjl $' 'Family Album' will benefit rural elderly “From my Family’s Album”, by Rappahannock’s Julie Portman, will be presented at 8 a.m. at the Culpeper Middle School Forum on May 15. The fund-raiser, a two-part production based on Portman’s memories of her parents, Katie and Ronald, will benefit the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board’s aging programs. “We chose this performance, partly because of the high quality of Julie’s work,” said Sallie Morgan, the director of Aging Services for the Board. “And partly because both these moving portraits of Julie’s parents draw attention to the themes that we struggle with each day: family dynamics, aging, and the resilience of the human spirit.” Morgan noted that tickets for the benefit, which includes a dessert buffet, would be a good choice for a Mother’s Day present. “The portraits, while touching, are inspiring and upbeat,” said Morgan. “Julie takes an unflinching look at this extraordinary couple, but her memories are loving. She makes us think about what being a family really means. And proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit many aging mothers and fathers who are lonely, isolated, frail and hungry.” Barbara Gentry, former Flint Hill postmistress, volunteers often at the lunch program offered to the Julie Portman elderly at Trinity Episcopal Chruch in Washington. “For a number of reasons, there are Rappahannock elderly who are left at home during the day, or who live by themselves. Many of them have no transportation, no neighbors, no telephones. They’re just cut off from the human stream,” she said. Tickets to the benefit, at $20 each, are available by calling 8253100. Tickets will also be available at the door. Summer program for teenagers only Ki Theatre newest program offering is for teenagers only!

Meet at the court house lawn from 12:20 to 12:40 p.m. on Thursday, May 6 to observe National Day of Prayer. Join with millions across the nation as they have special prayer for our country and its leaders. I believe it is a time we should also consider our rich, Godly heritage; what did our Founding Fathers really envision for this great nation? What are the principles upon which it was founded? Around the village, our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Lucille Walker who died on April 26. Wayne Dodson remains in Fauquier Hospital. We’re praying for his speedy recovery. Have a great week and call or leave news at Hackley’s store. Flower arranging at Library Friday Spring is finally here! Yards and gardens are full of flowers just begging to be cut and arranged to decorate your house. Learn the newest techniques and oldest secrets of flower arranging at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 7 at the Rappahannock County Library. That evening the Library’s First Friday Series will present “Flower Arranging: Back to Basics” with members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club. Garden Club member Christine Johnston will begin the evening with a general discussion of types of arrangements and suitable flowers and containers. Then several other members, including Celine Siira, Helen Smith, Edna Metzinger, Helen Brown and Jane Peterson will actually demonstrate different kinds of arrangements, how to condition flowers, and display the various types of containers that can be used. It should be an educational and enjoyable evening for all. The program will be in the Library’s meeting room, with refreshments to follow. Admission is free. Beauty provided by garden club By HELEN HOLSCHUH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Garden Club teamed up with VDOT in creating a flower bed in the- median of 211 bypass opposite Washington. After spraying with weed killers last fall VDOT has planted the chosen area with Cosmos seed provided by the Rappahannock County Garden Club. The project is part of “Operation Wildflower” a goal of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs and the National Federation of Garden Clubs. In the past ten years the VFGC has donated literally thousands of bulbs and iris roots as well as thousands of pounds of seed for the use by the highway department for planting on Virginia Highways. Rappahannock County Garden Club, whose president is Mrs. James White of Flint Hill, is proud to have brought some of this activity to our county and we all look forward to see the bloom this summer.

There is no emotion comparable to that of a new mother as she marvels at miniature perfection, and is entranced by shining, innocent eyes, sideways grins and tiny toes. If there is imperfection, her love is constant still, for this is her child. , To quote the contemporary writer Earl Riney, “The mother love is like God’s love; He loves us not (necessarily) because we are lovable, but because it is His nature to love, and because we are His children.’’ Mothers never cease to be mothers, but babies do grow up . . . and confused. A warm bottle is no longer the answer. God is the answer. Thank God for mothers. Mothers, thank God.
