The bullet was apparently fired by his son, Anthony Kearns, 29, of Front Royal who was also part of the hunting party. The shooting occurred last Monday evening right at dusk, according to Game Warden James Bankston, and Mr. Kearns was not wearing blaze orange, he added. The Flint Hill and Chester Gap rescue squads were called to the scene and worked on Mr. Kearns before transporting him to Warren Memorial Hospital, Mr. Bankston said. He added that Mr. Kearns was in very bad shape when he was placed in the ambulance. The bullet had passed through Mr. Kearns’s body, Mr. Bankston said Mr. Kearns was pronounced dead at the hospital. Mr. Bankston said Mr. Kearns had a history of heart problems and an investigation into the incident is continuing. “The ‘only comment I have is wear blaze orange and be sure of your target,” Mr. Bankston said after a day spent investigating the accident. Mr. Bankston said hunting fatalities have dropped “subtantially” in the state since blaze orange was mandated for deer hunting. “This makes a believer of you,” he said. He said until the recent shooting incident most of the hunting accidents he has had to investigate have involved hunters falling out of tree stands. Hunters aren’t being careful enough in securing the tree stands or finding themselves a secure position on the stand, he said. The county’s last fatal hunting J accident occurred in December 1986. Citizen of the Year for 1993 The Rappahannock County Citizen of the Year for 1993 is Marie Davis, office manager at the Department of Social Services and volunteer extraordinaire. Mrs. Davis was born in Rappahannock County. She is the mother of three grown girls and has two grandsons. Her husband David Davis is a driver for United Van Lines. During the 1989-90 school year she also welcomed to her home a son from Spain for a year, supporting him in his school activities and attending all his games as she had for her daughters Marie, Kathryn and Chandra when they were in high school. She has done volunteer service for the Rappahannock Association for the Aits and the Community, the Warrenton chapter of the American Red Cross, the Extension Sendee, the American Heart Association, the Washington Fire Department, and the Rappahannock Women’s Club. She is also an active member of two churches. First Baptist in Washington and Mt Moriah Baptist in Amissville, singing in the choir for both. Frank Reynolds, a founding member of RAAC, has worked with Ms. Davis as a board member for many years. "Whenever Marie was assigned a job, it was done, no question about it. She is always there and always supportive." he said. "She held the position of treasurer, and has worked on many RAAC projects, including New Year’s Eve parties." Ms. Davis is co-chairman of the blood drive, which brings the bloodmobile to the county sponsored by the Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers as a community service project. “She works at the bloodmobile and helps a lot with publicity and coordination,” said Rappahannock County Extension Agent Helen Smith. Ms. Davis also serves as Scholarship Chairman for the Extension Homemakers, which presents an annual scholarship to a graduating senior at RCHS. She is also on the Extension Service Advisory Board. “Ms. Davis also helps a lot with Extension Homemaker educational programs,” said Ms. Smith. “She does a lot of behind the scenes work in the community,” said Mrs. Smith. “She usually helps cook breakfast at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department fundraisers,” she added. “Marie is always a kind and caring person. She volunteers and helps with a lot of projects. She really cares about people in the community,” said Ms. Smith, Co-worker Nancy Reeve, of the Department of Social Services, says of Ms. Davis. “Marie has a heart as big as all outdoors. She will always try to figure out a way to help someone solve their problem. This is not just in her job; she will help anyone...She does not restrict her job to just office managerial duties,” said Ms. Reeve. Mrs. Davis coordinates the annual collection for needy families in the county at ChriAinas time. She is very creative in matching individuals and groups who want to help with people who need that help. The help extends well beyond clients of the welfare department. “Marie is a wonderful person to know. If someone comes in with a problem, if she can’t help, she will refer that person to someone who can help. You never see her grouchy. She always gives someone the benefit of the doubt,” said Ms. Reeve. Ms. Davis also serves on the board of the local American Heart Association. Board president Ann Miller said, “Marie is a very caring person and has done an excellent job serving as treasurer of the Heart Association. She is very dependable. Any time we have a function she will be there even if you don’t ask for her help.” Beverly Bow'en, director of the Social Services Department, said, “Marie is kind, compassionate and energetic. She always puts other peoples’ needs ahead of her own.

The staff of the Rappahannock News is honored to recognize her as the 1993 Citizen of the Year. School Addition, Toxics and Sludge, Top Local News of Year By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Start Writer Topping the lfct of the ten most important stories for 1993 was the decision to put a $1.5 million addition on the Rappahannock County Elementary School. This began as a discussion of building a middle school. In February the School Board asked the Board of Supervisors for authorization to move ahead with a middle school project. The supervisors turned this proposal down. Next the School Board asked to proceed with plans for an addition to the elementary school. The supervisors did not take any direct action on that proposal at the time. However, when they approved the school budget, it included funds to hire an architect and to pay the first six months interest on bonds for the building. VMDO Architects from Charlottesville were hired to plan the addition. After examining the total school property, they concluded the most suitable space for the addition would be to the south, but the school property did not extend far enough in that direction to accommodate an addition. After much discussion, most of it in executive session, in September the super visors purchased 5.119 acres adjoining the school property on the south from Roy Leake for $60,000. The School Board is hoping to advertise for bids early in January 1994 and to award a bid in February with construction to start in early spring. They hope the addition will be ready to move into by Christmas vacation next year. Toxic Chemicals Various threats to the environment also made the news in 1993. In May the Rappahannock News reported that barrels containing possibly toxic substances had been left on property belonging to John Singleton near Rock Mills. The barrels were brought onto the property, apparently from Commonwealth Park in Culpeper, in 1990. Many of the barrels were deteriorating and the contents had leaked out. This past summer the barrels were removed. Tests of the soil where the barrels had been did not show serious problems. In May a large number of elementary school students were taken to nearby hospitals after suffering symptoms apparently caused by fumes from the activities of the company that was repairing the elemen tarv school roof. Eventually the medical bills were paid, and none of the students have required further treatment. Over the summer 20,000 pounds of agricultural chemicals were removed as a part of a cleanup sponsored by the Extension Service. These were mostly chemicals that were once legal to use in agriculture that had since been banned. Finally in September the Rappahannock News carried a story that the Department of Environmental Quality was requiring action to handle an apparent oil leak across from the F.T. Valley Grocery on Route 231. This is probably only one of several similar local problems caused by old underground fuel tanks. Sludge Sludge was much in the news this year. This spring the Board of Supervisors held two public meetings to try to determine how the public would feel about lifting the moratorium on the land application of sludge. There was no significant objection to sludge voiced at these meetings, but when the supervisors announced they See Top Ten, Page A-6 What Next? •i a*nti1tmr7 1 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan These cattle stand patiently in early morning snow Tuesday at a farm in the F.T.

Farm Bureau Says Budget Cuts Hurt Farmers and Consumers Virginia farmers are gearing up for their annual budget battle in the 1004 General Assembly, according to the Virginia Farm Bureau. Agricultural research. Virginia Cooperative Extension programs and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service all face the loss of more funding under Gov. L. Douglas Wilder's final twoyear budget plan, released Dec. 20. The plan called for a .j-percent cut in Extension spending for each year of the biennium, reducing its budget to -Sol million in fiscal year 1004-05 ;ind $40.7 million for 100500. Extension officials said that would bring the total number of spending cuts to 25 percent of their 1000 budget. Educational programs and advice to farmers and homeowners would be reduced even more, and Extension programs to protect the Chesapeake Bay and other natural resources would also be hurt. Reseach programs at Virginia Tech would also lose $2.(> million under Wilder’s plan, slowing efforts to find alternatives to pesticides and new crops for Virginia farmers. For every $1 million spent on research, rural Virginia gains more than $10 million in increased agricultural and forestry profits, observed Dr. Andy Swiger. dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech. The VDACS budget would be slashed $2.5 million in each year of the next biennium, severely straining that agency’s mission to promote food safety, inspect scales and gas NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on the 12th day of January, 1994, at 7:30 o'clock p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, in the Town of Washington Town Hall, comer of Gay and Calvert Streets in Washington, Virginia, the Town Council of the Town of Washington will hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of amending the Budget of the Town of Washington, Virginia, to include the expense of a *4,000.00 grant received by the Town for the benefit of The Washington Volunteer Fire Department.

The motor fuels testing program is currently mandated by state law.

Ron Leathers Contact Social Security If Retirement Is Close By BRUCE HUNDLEY Social Security Manager in Culpeper If you’re past age 62 and thinking about retiring any time in 1994, contact Social Security now to discuss vour plans. Because our rules permit you to work and receive retirement benefits at the same time, it could be to your advantage to have your benefits begin in Janurary even if you aren’t actually retiring until later in the year. For an application to be effective in January 1994, you should file any time before Jan. 31, 1994. For additional information, call Social Security’s toll-free number, 1-800-7721213, business days between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., to make an appointment to discuss your retirement plans. If you plan to stop working and to begin receiving Social Security retirement benefits immediately at age 62, you should contact Social Security to file your application two months before your birthday. Even if you expect your 1994 earnings to be relatively high, you should check to see if you’ll be eligible to receive any benefits. For example, under the Social Security earnings rules for 1994, at age 65 a retired worker with maximum benefits of $1,147 per month may earn up to $49,011 during the year and still be eligible to receive a benefit for one month. If any family members also are eligible for beneifts, the earnings could be higher and some benefits might still be payable. If you’re under 65, you also can have substantial earnings and still qualify for some Social Security benefits. In 1994, the earnings limit for individuals aged 62-64 will be $8,040. For every $2 you earn over $8,040, $1 is withheld from your benefits. For those aged 65-69, the amount is $11,160. For every $3 you earn over $11,160, $1 is withheld from your benefits. For beneficiaries aged 70 or older, earnings do not affect their benefit payments.

Burglaries Continue With RCES Break-in Sheriff John Henry Woodward reported that there was a burglary at the Rappahannock, County Elementary School, apparently on the night of Dec. 19. On Monday Dec. 20 the sheriffs department was called to investigate. Sheriff Woodward reported that a Fisher brand VCR, a combination TV and VCR, and a Realistic AMFM radio and CD player were taken from the school library. The total value was estimated at $1,035. The burglars apparently entered through the window of one of the front classrooms, entered the main hall and, from there, entered the courtyard. From the courtyard they were able to gain entrance to the library. Sheriff Woodward reported that the investigation is continuing with no firm leads. Last Wednesday thieves took a refrigerator and microwave from a house owned by Cathy Smith in Amissville. The house was unlocked because it was undergoing repairs, Sheriff Woodward said. Another burglary with forced entry occurred Friday night. A teak table valued at $800 was taken from the home of Bill Monroe on Route 637.

Ben Venue Market Owners Find Success Customers Like Combination of Food and Gas By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock N«w« Staff Writer r Wayne Waller worked his last day at Hughes Aircraft last Friday after 25 years of employment there as a senior engineer. Now, instead of designing radar systems for F-15s, ijis thoughts lean more toward new recipes to dish up in his country store, Ben Venue Market. Wayne and Dot Waller have found the right combination for running a successful country store -good homemade food and gas pumps. Customers had complained about having to make more than one stop to fill up the car and pick up a gallon of milk. Now they can do both at Ben Venue Market, and more. One of the biggest draws to this -shop at the corner of U.S. 211 and Route 729 is the breakfast sandwiches. The store opens at 5 a.m., and sells 50 breakfast sandwiches on an average day. Not long ago, they sold only 15 to 20 of these daily, but since the gas pumps have been put in, and word has spread about the homemade food, sales have risen dramatically. Mr. and Mrs. Waller took over the Ben Venue Market in June, 1992. They bought the business from the Gilbert family, but lease the property from Louise and Thomas Eastham. They have increased the deli portion of the business, and Mr. Waller says, “That is what put this store on the map.” It was a huge expense, but the Wallers have just put in two gas pumps. This project took five weeks to complete instead of the usual two. “We hit solid rock, and some springs,” said Mr. Waller. That meant that dynamite was needed, and a sump pump was installed to take care of the springs. “We have very competitive gas prices, and we hope to keep the prices way down,” said Mrs. Waller. The Wallers moved to Rappahannock County in April 1990. On a visit here, they heard of a property for sale in Old Hollow. They purchased it, and are proprietors of the Apple Hill Bed and Breakfast. The B & B opened in January 1992 after many renovations. Mrs. Waller spends about half of her time working at the B & B and the other half at the Ben Venue Market. She also works part time as a registered nurse in the intensive care unit at Fair Oaks Hospital. “June Compton is the heart and soul of Ben Venue Market,” said Mr. Waller. Ms. Compton is a familiar and friendly face to many county residents, as she has worked at the store for eight years. “I’ve been here through three owners, and we really have a good time here,” she said. Homemade food available at store as specials include barbetpie beans, chili, and barbequed pork. These can change often, though, and at other times you might find Ben Venue stew or tortilla pie. All types of sandwiches are available, as are meats and cheeses by the pound. 'WEN VKAffffc « MARKET New gas pumps will get a cover so customers can have shelter.

The junior varsity creamed the Luray team, 60 to 19. Their record so far this season is 4-2. Coach Gary Leake said, “They have gradually improved each time they’ve played. They learn from their mistakes and correct them in the next game.” Ten junior varsity players were in the scoring column for this game. Jon Butler scored 15, Mark Jenkins had 10, and Jason Carter had eight, which was his best game yet. “Their strength is their defense.

W. Wayne Norman had applied for a special use permit in order to construct a new home on a two acre property which already has one house on it. The new home would be his, and the existing house would be used as a family apartment by his mother. After agreeing that the application met the conditions of the zoning ordinance, the members of the BZA present, Jennifer Matthews, Sid Gottlieb and Butch Zindel, voted to approve the application. The permit is contingent, however, upon the applicant producing the deed of recordation combining the two properties. A variance was approved for Ms. Carol LeBeau, for a house which Donalea Adams Certified Massage Therapist Office located above Middle Street Gallery Call for appointment 703-547-4075 Gift certificates available!

The new survey found that the setback did not comply with the ordinance now in effect, but there have been no objections by adjoining landowners. The bank would not grant a loan if the property does not comply w ith local laws, so Ms. LeBeau applied for the variance. The members of the Board felt that the variance should be granted. Even though the house does not meet the setback requirement now in effect, there is open space between the house and the next property.

The Audit Bureau WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1993 Western By-pass When Richard McNear said that the western by-pass is a greater threat to Rappahannock County than the proposed Disney theme park, he was quite right. Mr. McNear was speaking at a meeting called by the Piedmont Environmental Council to familiarize concerned county citizens with PECs “Disney, Take a Second Look” campaign. However, the Disney proposal is perhaps unfairly being saddled with revived interest in the western by-pass. Nothing in the plans Disney has announced requires a western by-pass. During the recent election for governor, both candidates said they favored building a western by-pass. Those who favor such a road, mostly developers, are using the Disney proposal as an excuse to revive plans for the road. The supposed purpose for this road is to get north and southbound through traffic that does not need to stop in Washington, D.C., around the city without using the Washington beltway. If traffic wants to bypass Washington, D.C., for Baltimore, Philadelphia or Wilmington, then an eastern bypass makes much more sense and would be shorter. For traffic bound to or from New York and New England, a western by-pass makes sense, but Interstate 81 is already that route, and indeed most northbound trucks heading for New York travel 1-81. Then the problem becomes how to get traffic from ' Interstate 95 coming through Richmond, for example, to 1-81. • i Well, 1-64 does that, going west from Tidewater, through Richmond, to Charlottesville, Waynesboro and Staunton where it connects with 1-81. ;! For traffic traveling 1-95 to Fredericksburg, the next western interstate is 1-66, but the eastern end of that road is the Washington beltway. However, the state is already planning an upgrade of Route 234 around Manassas to 1-66, and traffic could then go west to meet 1-81 at Strasburg. The proposed western by-pass does not connect 1-95 to I81. Instead it would connect with 1-270 and/or 1-70 in Maryland. These roads come together in Frederick. 1-70 then meets 1-81 in Hagerstown, but these roads also lead east back to Washington and Baltimore. Those who suspect this is a proposal, not to move northsouth traffic around Washington, but to encourage more western development are correct.

Letters to the Editor —- - - - \ Disney Concerns To the Editor: I am a resident of Hay,market, Virginia, considered by Disney to be an immediate landowner. I have taken it upon myself to distribute unbiased information to the community about upcoming meetings conerning this issue. Having spoken with hundreds of residents, I have found the need to write about the concerns I have heard. Unlike those opinions being reported by Disney representatives and others, the reactions of those most affected by the theme park’s approach have not been adequately addressed. As we await Disney’s application to Prince William County, people are still in a state of shock over the announcement. No one has expressed opposition to controlled development, but the scale and magnitude of Disney’s presence, coupled with the inevitable spin-off growth, has overwhelmed the community. Disney, along with county and state officials, have tried to convince everyone the Disney’s America’s existence is inevitable. Many residents feel powerless and manipulated into believing that they have no recourse but to accept their fate. I have spoken with people who have been in tears and have not slept soundly since the announcement. Some welcome Disney, but when questioned, usually admit that they own a business or hope to “take their money and run.” Others, looking at the track record of their elected officials, do not feel reassured that they will not be left bearing the burden of traffic congestion and taxes, all for monetary gain. They ask how can their public officials so eagerly embrace Disney without seeing their proposal? Do the concerns of the 30,000 daily visitors and new growth business supersede those of their current constituents? Will the cost of the red carpet laid out for Disney be so high that it would take 20 years of taxes to recoup? If officials think that thousands of minimum wage jobs are so important, then why do they not welcome Disney to their backyards, or more realistically, to a location that would not require all the new’ infra-structure and tax revenues needed by this project? MRS. MARY E. VIOLETT To the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to thank Cheri and Martin Woodard of the Faith Mt. Co. for their generous donation of beautiful clothing, toys, and household items to some Rappahannock County families with young children in need. Rappahannock is a beautiful county with quaint villages and rolling farms. However, tucked in the mountains and hollows are some families with true needs. We work on a day-to-day basis with many economically disadvantaged families who have trouble making ends meet under the best of circumstances. Christmas can be a Haymarket Santa stressful time, particularly with those families with young children. We were thrilled when Rose Ann Sharp called from The Child Care and Learning Center to tell us about the donations. What fun we had boxing and delivering the packages. The look of gratefulness and joy on many of the mothers’ faces are memories we will hold dear. Yes indeed, Rappahannock, there is a Santa Claus and may he continued to make glad the hearts of childhood. Its’ reassuring to know that he has some very special helpers such as Cheri and Martin, those that sponsor families through social services, and those that sponsor children through the Scholarship Program at Child Care and Learning Center. Your gifts to our County’s children will make more of an impact than vou'll ever know. MARION SHARP, R.N. and KAREN FLYNN, R.N. Rappahannock Co. Health Department Halperin Opposed ..To the Editor: President Clinton’s nomination of Morton Halperin for Undersecretary of defense for democracy and Peacekeeping is puzzling. Surely he knows about Halperin’s past involvement in numberous left-wing movements and organizations, so why this nomination? Could it be becasue he is a Council on Foregin Relations (CFR) member, as are Clinton and his top advisers? If confirmed by the Senate, Dr. Halperin would become the key pqlicymaker in directing U.S. participation in United National peacekeeping operations. The United States is almost inescapably stuck to the UN tarbaby which is now entangled in insoluble tribal warfare, ethnic conflict, and internal political struggles in nation after national around the world-Somalia is a good example. The UN now has 100,000 troops in 17 different operations worldwide! Although denying that he advocates subordination of the U.S. Military to the UN, Halperin is reported to be the architect of the scheme to have the U.S. build a new world army for the UN’s new world orders This plan, officially outlined by two Presidential documents, proposed placing U.S. troops under UN command, the sharing of classified intelligence and repeal of the law limiting the number of troops the U.S. can commit to the UN without Congressional approval. All of this is not only unconstitutional but could be considered treasonous as well. , „ Write or call Senators Warner and Robb who are members of The Senate Armed Services Committee at Senate Office Building, Washingr ton, D.C. 20510. Ask them to reject Dr. Halperin if President Clinton resubmits his nomination. In fact, recommend that the Senate review the need for an Undersecretary of Defense for Democracy and Peacekeeping- ingThe name of the game is world conquest by an all-powerful United Nationals under the control of an iron-fisted elite. , , JAMES. B. HUTT, JR., M.D. Warrentqn California Car Standards Not Needed in Virginia By WILLIAM H. CRAIG, JR. \ irginia Coordinator Coalition for Vehicle Choice Three members of a commission assigned to oversee air quality from Virginia to Maine have decided that what’s good for Californians must also be good for Virginians...and Marylanders, Pennsylvanians, Delawareans and so on. Never mind the 3,000 miles in between and the vastly different polution situations facing California and the East Coast. The Ozone Transport Commission wants us all to be behind the wheels of “environmentally friendly” California cars, so dubbed because of the lower emissions levels required by California law. If, as the three commission members have suggested, the Environmental Protection Agency requires California cars for the Maine-to-Virginia corridor, it will be another example of regulators flexing their muscle with little, if any, regard for the resulting costs and benefits. California cars, while they do pollute slightly less, will not provide measurable air quality improvements in the near term, and only minor improvements in the long term. But, California cars will impose significant costs on residents of the affected states and could actually slow air quality improvements. First, consider the potential benefits, Federal law, under the Clean 1 Air Act amendments of 1990, al ready establishes tighter tailpipe standards in all 50 states, referred to as Tier I standards. The pertinent question, then, is, “How much more will California standards cut emissions over and above the Tier I standards?” The answer is about 1 to 3 percent, at best. The cost to consumers, on the other hand, is estimated to be high, widening what is already a growing affordability gap for motor vehicles. In 1982, the average price of a car was $9,890. Today, thanks in large measure to the mounting costs of federal regulations, that cost is $17,784. The estimated cost of meeting the California standards with electrically heated catalysts is about $1,000. And this does not include increases in fuel costs, which are expected to rise about 15 to 20 cents per gallon, as a result of an increased use of reformulated fuels and new federal gas tax increases. Researchers from MIT, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, University of California and the California Institute of Technol, ogy wrote in a recent issue of Science magazine, “It is not necessary, except perhaps in Southern California, to implement extremly low new car emissions standards before the end of the 20th century.” The authors characterized Southern California’s pollution problem as “much more severe and difficult to solve than that of any other area in the United States,” and said, “Federal Tier I standards appear to be sufficient for the other 49 states...” The chief shortcoming with the California cars plan, according to the researchers, is that it does not address the crux of the pollution problem, namely the older, higher polluting vehicles on the road. It is estimated that 10 percent of the mostly older vehicles on the road account for 50 percent of air pollution. This relatively small group of vehicles, or “super emitters,” is responsible for an inordinately large amount of the auto-related pollution. Measures that focus solely on marginal improvements in new vehicles allow the problems posed by super emitters to go unchecked. In fact, ironically, these measurers may even exacerbate the super-emitter problem. If California car standards raise significantly the prices of new vehicles, as they almost certainly will, then more consumers will be discouraged from junking old vehicles and investing in new ones. Slower fleet turnover is the inevitable result-older, less clean, less fuel-efficient, less safe cars on the roads longer. This is clearly working against the original goal. State legislators in Virginia have heard the facts regarding the California standards and have already decided not to move ahead of the issue. Virginia should be outraged that a commission whose members they do not elect is wresting control over states policy from the hands of legislators elected by the people. . As always, some advocates are attempting to turn, the debate over California cars into a litmus test for Virginia’s commitment to maintaining a clean environment. But makp no mistake, it is no such thing. Adopting the California standards on the East Coast will have little, if any, measurable impact on air quality. Instead, the impact will be felt by consumers, who are left to bear the higher cost of vehicles, or who are priced out of the new car market altogether, slowing fleet turnover^ The researchers who found that the California standards were inappropriate for our area also cautioned, “The United States <$m simply not afford to go down a pjjth that costs the public vast sumstof money and achieves little benefit Hn air quality.” The Ozone Transport Commission would do well to tajte this warning to heart. >

I Court Of Peeves, Now In Session i ' *'1 ; By JAMES J. KILPATRICK i Universal Press ! The Court of Peeves, Irks & jCrotchets open its winter assizes with a petition from Mary F. Brady of Charleston, S.C. She asks for summary action against the pretentious “cum.” J As Exhibit A she submits two citations, just six pages apart, from ('A Lively Form of Death” by Kay Mitchell. On Page 1, the author Ispeaks of a “store cum post office.” [On Page 7, for variety’s sake, it is a [“post office cum general store.” • Motion granted! The court has ruled on this matter before. In this 'construction the Latin “cum” means nothing more or less than “and” or [“along with.” Ms. Brady properly contends that th usage smacks of superiority. The author wras showing Joff her erudition. All she revealed [was a certain prissy pomposity instead. ; Stacie Anne Kirk of Huntsville, iAla., cites a classified ad seeking a [person with excellent “verbal and [written” communication skills. Because both “verbal” and “written” [have to do with the use of words, she •finds the description redundant. | The court concurs in part and dissents in part. Yes, in an academic .'sense. Macaulay displayed “verbal” [skills in his mastery of the written “word. Be that as it may, the court [will rule that in common parlance, “which is the parlance of help-wanted ads, “verbal” applies exclusively to spbken words. Injunction denied. A.G.G. McWilliam of Asheville, N.C., petitions for a ruling against the misuse of “momentarily.” The gentleman is of the old school. He flinches when the captain of a jet liner announced that he will be taking off “momentarily.” He cringes as a sportcasteris promise that play will resume “momentarily.” In the old, true, pristine meaning of the adverb, the plane would be in trouble and the players would be soon be standing around. This is because “momentarily” does NOT mean “in a moment.” It means “for a moment,” as in the electric power‘‘flickered momentarily, the orator pause momentarily, the yowling infant momentarily shut up. Alas.vriiis is what momentarily used to mean. The word has been sloppily used for so long that all standard dictionaries now say it can mean “immediately” or “forthwith.” The court will rule in the petitioner’s favor, but the ruling amounts to a dissent. J.R. Clark of Klamath Falls, Ore., asks the court to halt the abuse of “original.” In evidence he cites a piece in Time magazine about a “Royal Edition” of Leonard Bernstein’s Recordings. Each CD cover is adorned with “an original watercolor” by Prince Charles. Nonsense! Unless the royal gentleman produced each cover individually, which seems highly unlikely, those covers are reproductions, not originals. The court will issue an Order of Reprimand, and Time will march on. Nancy L. Hendrix of Las Vegas objects to the use of “universal” in the context of “universal health coverage.” Her point is that “universal” ought properly to be limited to our entire blessed universe—galaxies, solar systems, planets and the whole infinite shebang. The objection must be overruled. Within the cosmic universe are a many mundance universes-a universe of cable subscribers, a universe of college professors, a universe of people in need of health insurance. When Mrs. Clinton speaks of “universal health coverage,” she is talking of our own little American universe. The usage is approved. Several readers have complained of the same Kinght-Ridder story about rising fuel taxes: “Independent truckers feel caught in a vice.” Here in our own little universe truckers are caught not in a viceheaven forfend!~but in a vise. British usage, the court is advised, employs the variant spelling, but that’s another universe. Ginny Groglia of Buffalo, N.Y., and Russell Stinnett of Henderson, Nev., submit a recurring complaint to the court’s adjudication. She objects to a speaker’s repeated phrase, “if you will.” He objects to a speaker’s “I would like to,” as in “I would like to thank” and “I would like to recommend.” The court will dismiss the complaints. The court dismissed similar complaints a year ago. These harmless phrases are the grace notes of discourse. When a speaker says, “With you permission, I would like to proceed to my next point,” the speakers is not really asking anyone’s permission. A Sherman tank could not keep him from his next point. He will move to his next point if the heaven fall! The phrases are not wasted. There ought always to be room on our plates for a sprig of parsley to adorn the scrambled eggs. COPYRIGHT 1993 UNIVERSAL PRESS Carlyle House Will Host Exhibit on Slavery The Carlyle House Historic Park in Old Town Alexandria invites the public to its new exhibit, “Don’t Get ■Weary: African Americans in 18thCentury Alexandria," which opens Saturday, Jan. 15 and continued through Aug. 28. “Don’t Get Weary,” taken from a black spiritual, addresses the often•negelected subject of African Americans, both slave and free, in the 1700’s, focusing on the lifestyles and experiences of blacks in skilled and domestic positions.

At the June meeting the supervisors voted to advertise an amendment to the zoning ordinance permanently banning the land application of sludge. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendment in July and voted 4 to 2 to recommend approval, with members Sid Gottlieb and Werner Krebser opposing the ban. The Board of Supervisors voted for the amendment banning sludge 3 to 2 In August with members Charles K. “Pete” Estes, Mike Massie, and Robert Anderson voting for the ban and Ellis Bingham and Hubert Gilkey voting against it. When the supervisors took no action the next month to reconsider the ban, four landowners, Dr. Krebser, Dale Welch, John Harrison Powers and Patricia Saltonstall filed suit against the county claiming that the ban interferes with their right to farm. Their attorney later filed an amendment to the suit, and intends to file in federal court also. The original suit asked for $500,000 in damages. The amended suit drops that claim. The county has not yet responded to the suit, since the amended suit was filed just last week. Because of the original request for monetary damages, George Gilliam was assigned by the state to de^nd the county. He will continue to represent the county even though the claim for monetary damages was dropped. Late Winter Storms A pair of storms hit the county last March. First on Thursday March 4 the county received a heavy rain that caused floods in several areas. In the Shenandoah National Park this precipitation fell as two inches of ice, knocking clown trees and breaking branches all along the central section of the Skyline Drive. Then a week and a day later the county and most of the rest of the east coast received heavy snow and blowing winds. The snow began Fri day March 8th and did not stop altogether until Sunday the 10th. Cable TV 1993 brought Cable TV to many homes in Rappahannock. Adelphia Cablevision received a francise to supply cable TV to the populated areas of the county in 1991. By mid November they were able to begin hooking up customers in Flint Hill and Washington. Chester Gap customers had already been hooked up, some before the francise was approved. Customers in Sperryville and Amissville had to wait until this month to sign Richard Burke said last week that about 500 customers had signed up and most have already been hooked up. Now the company is trying to provide service to those who did not request the service at their first opportunity and those who must pay extra because they are beyond the normal service area. U.S.211 Four-laned The first section of the four-lane project on U.S. 522-211 opened in late May. It cost approximately $2.2 miilion. The second section costing about $3.3 million was due to open by the end of October. VDOT resident engineer Robert Moore said he hopes that this section can be opened as soon as possible to separate eastbound from westbound traffic. However, more asphalt work is needed and warmer weather is needed to lay asphalt. Mr. Moore said because of bad weather during the contract time, the company responsible is not yet liable for fines for not completing the work on time, but time is running out on them. REC Powerline In July the Rappahannock Electric Co-opertive announced it had an agreement with Potomac Edison to supply power for their Rixeyville substation from the Potomac Edison substation.in Sperryville. REC proposed to put in a new' 100-foot wide corridor carrying 135 killowatts of power. The route of the proposed powerline was from Sperryville through the five forks area, near Red Oak and Bessie Bell mountains. Three representatives from REC appeared at the August Board of Supervisors meeting to discuss their plans. Neither the supervisors nor the affected landowners were happy ■ with this proposal. They urged RECJ to agree to sell the company’s Rap- ; pahannock customers to Potomac; Edison. Potomac Edison’s president • wrote that the company would be' happy to take over that service area. The supervisors also urged REC; to consider using the “Hazel switch” j just over the county line in Culpeper r County as the point from which to ’ get power for the Rixeyville substa-, tion rather than Sperryville if they’ wanted to get power from Potomac; Edison. Landowners joined forces to > fight the new powerline. Currently REC says if is studying alternative - routes from the Hazel switch. . C The Board of Supervisors has re-. tained Junie Bradshaw to represent the county in opposing the new line. New Waterlines for Washington After many years of talk and ne-' gotiating to get financing in place,;' the Town of Washington, has begun work on overhauling the town’s old water lines. Rappawan is laying new lines throughout the town. It will be several more months before water, begins flowing in the new lines. • ;■ The work is being financed by a; combination of grants and borrow-’ ing. The debt is scheduled to be repaid by water system customers*, without requiring a large increase m;v rates. fTax Rate Increase " 1 After two years of the real estate; tax rate remaining essentially the; same, the Board of Supervisors increased the tax rate by 12 cents or 24 percent for the current fiscal; year. A large part of the increase; was for the school budget. Trash dis-; posal also added to the budget. Disney Theme Park 1 In November the entire Pied-, mont area was rocked by news that; the Walt Disney Company planned to open Disney America, a theme park centered around American his-; tory in western Prince William County near Haymarket. Both outgoing Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and incoming governor George Allen supported the Disney project, but opposition was quickly organized led by the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Goose Creek; Association and the Save the Battlefield Coalition.

Rep. Wolf said this should translate into a signicant increase for the Shenandoah National Park, but actual figures won’t be available until February. J.W. Wade, superintendent of the Shenandoah National Park, agreed that he is expecting a sizeable increase that should lead to an increase in interpretive programs offered by park rangers, but he said there are also requirements for the money that may mean less money is available than needed to restore programs to the level they were before funding was cut. He said he may be required to convert some employees classified as temporary to permanent status making them eligible for benefits, He said the park is also now classified as being in the Washington,' D.C. locality pay area, that will probably mean raises. “These things could use a up a sizeable portion of the increase,” he said. < v “Estimates are too preliminary to put out,” he said. “I’d hate to sug-; gest we will be back up to a reasona-j ble operational level, much less make up the backlog.” He said other funding sources the park depends on,’ for maintenance and repair work may be cut while funds for general operation are increased. However, he said he was “optimistic” that some of the programming cut in the past two years can be restored. All offers apply to Chrysler-Plymouth and Jeep, Eagle vehicles only.

** * Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Youngest Huntsman on Record !'Works Rappahannock Hounds Michael Brown Takes Cues From Family $ By BETSY BRANSCOME • Rappahannock News Staff Writer I* Nineteenyear-old Michael Brown has found a successful formula for juggling college classes, hunting the Rappahannock Hunt’s hounds and riding steeplechase races while at hnce retaining a laid-back and reserved demeanor that belies the fact that he is the youngest huntsman ever to officially hunt the Rappahannock County pack. ; “Michael has recently begun hunting the Rappahannock hounds in the absence of his father [official huntsman Oliver Brown,]” said Rappahannock Hunt Master of Foxhounds Larry LeHew. “He is just as cool with the hounds as he is with horses.” The senior Brown is a professional horseman who travels to various thoroughbred and horse sales throughout the summer months when not hunting. Now that his son is old enough and experienced enough to hunt the hounds, Oliver handed over the reins to Michael ; while he traveled to Kentucky to work a thoroughbred sale. On Dec. 19, at the Rappahannock Hunt junior meet held at Hayday Farm in Culpeper, Michael hunted the hounds for the first time under his father’s watchful eye. ' “I hunted them the second day of cubbing back in September,” Michael explained of the mostly crossbred Rappahannock pack. “And I took them out on the second day of the official season. But this was the first time for me to hunt the hounds while dad was here to watch.” The annual junior meet was a most fitting trial for the younger Brown. A field of more than 60 riders — including nearly 30 children hunting behind junior field masters Innis Nelson and Ashley Settle — took to the hills for a big day of sport. “We jumped what seemed like ;a covey of foxes at the very first co vert!” exclaimed Michael of the day’s hunting. “It was a good day, especially when we came home with all of the hounds [accounted for.]” “He is an exceptionally nice young man, very pleasant to be around — something that is especially nice to see in this day and age.” Larry LeHew Foxhunting is firmly entrenched in the Brown blood — Oliver has been the Rappahannock huntsman for 15 years; Michael’s uncle Charlie for five years has hunted the Old Dominion Hounds and was previously a professional whip for the Keswick Hunt; uncle Mike is also an area horseman, competing successfully in local hunter pace events and avidly riding to hounds. “I got a later start on riding than my dad did,” Michael explained of his equestrian beginnings. “I started really riding late — at about age six or seven because of [severe asthma and] an allergy to horse hair.” Michael said his father began riding at five years, quickly rising in the ranks to show grandfather Elzy’s hunters both in the ring and in the field. “My family has been based in this area [Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties] since 1916,” said Oliver, a resident of Reva. “Before that, the Browns lived in Madison County. We’ve been around for a long time. “My dad actually wanted me to be a vet at first,” the senior Brown continued. “I went to Virginia Tech for a year, and then transferred to Germanna College for another four years. I ended up with a degree in business management, just a few classes away from another degree in accounting. The farthest thing from my mind was hunting hounds. I came home and rode on the weekends, but I never thought of being a huntsman,” Brown said. Through whipping-in for the Rappahannock pack, the elder Brown eventually took over the fulltime responsibility for hunting the hounds 15 years ago. At the same time, his eldest son began riding. “I bent over backwards not to push my kids to ride horses,” Oliver explained. “All kids seem to want to ride horses, but I tried not too push too hard.” The path of least . resistance worked well, and Michael flowered into a confident rider. “I ride with Michael and help him with the hounds when he takes over for his dad,” said Rixeyville farmer and Rappahannock hunt committee staff member David Ingram. “He is a natural horseman and hound-man. Jle is a fearless rider, and he is doing, I think, a super job with the hounds.” “I can’t say enough good about Michael,” offered Ingram. “He is a good kid. He comes from a real foxhunting family, and I think Michael will be able to carry on the tradition for his daddy.” LeHew agreed. “Like his grandfather [Elzy Brown,] Michael has real qualities of a southern gentleman,” he said. “He is an exceptionally nice young man, very pleasant to be around — something _ Rappahannock News Staff Photos-Betsy Branscome Michael Brown and “Rappahannock Drummer’’ visit outside the hunt’s kennels. tnat is especially nice to see m this day and age.” “I will officially hunt the hounds again in January, when Dad goes to Kentucky again for the sales,” said Michael. “I also plan to maybe ride in some [steeplechases] again this spring. I held out for a long time, but last spring was fun,” when he won his first-ever race aboard his father’s Oliver’s Tiger. “The bug has bitten, I guess," Michael surmised. Oliver summed up his elation at the family tradition, saying, “The ’93-’94 season is the best year I’ve ever had. [The Rappahannock Hunt] has a good group of subscribers, a good staff, and the best part about it is that Michael can really take the pressure off of me.” “It has always been nice to hunt with the Brown family, and maybe Michael will continue this tradition. I hope so,” LeHew said. Michael Brown won on his father’s horse Oliver’s Tiger at the Piedmont Fox Hounds Point-to-point in Upperville last May. His father, Oliver Brown holds the horse. * Photos courtesy of Bruce Sloane ;A caver looks out from a cave entrance in Montana. Sloane To Describe Caving at Library Program The Friday night program at the Rappahannock County Library at 8 p.m. on Jan. 7 will shine a bright light on a dark subject when Bruce Sloane give a talk and slide presentation on “Caves: Adventures Underground.) Many people have visited nearby Luray Caverns or other commercial caves open to the public. But the majority of caves in the United States- n several thousand-do not have electric lights or paved pathways. A cave can be a few feet long, or, like Kentucky's Mammoth-Flint Ridge system, it can extend in a spaghettilike maze for several hundred miles. You can walk through some caves, but in others you may have to crawl on your hands and knees (or even your stomach), use ropes to descend pits, or put on SCUBA equipment to explore underwater. The majority of caves, like most in Virginia, are formed by solution of limestone rock. There are also ex A kK Movie Maker, Tom Davenport To Begin Ki Theatre Exchange > Ki Theatre will be presenting ! “The Exchange Series 1994,” a sentries of Saturday evening performance programs that bring artist in performance and dialogue together with the audience. -t On Saturday, January 15, 1994, ; filmmaker Tom Davenport will present a premiere of “Making Grimm Movies”-or-“How to Make Great Movies On A Shoestring Budget.” -.Based on Davenport’s award-winning PBS series of Grimm fairytales, this series teaches creative moviemaking, from writing, casting, set design and locations to cinematography, acting and directing. „ Each evening of “The Exchange” is divided into two parts. The performance will highlight the artist’s work; and the second part will focus on influences that have shaped artists’ work over time. Unlike regular performances where the public is detached from the show, ‘The Exchange” invites participation, offering the opportunity for questions, answers and an open discussion between aritst and audience. Each “Exchange” will be at Ki Theatre, Gay and Jett Streets, in Washington, and will offer the unique opportunity to experience how creative work and our lives converge, change, and develop over time. “The Exchange Schedule” Saturday, Jan. 15 at 8 p.m.Filmmaker Tom Davenport with “Making Grimm Movies”-or-“How to Make Great Movies on a Shoestring Budget” Saturday, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m.-Choreographer Sally Nash and The Last Minute Wood Company with “A Dancer’s Life” Saturday, March 19 at 8 p.m.Blues guitarist and songwriter John Jackson with “A Personal History” A blind crayfish searches for prey in a Kentucky cave. tensive lava caves, boulder caves, sea caves formed by wave action, and even ice caves formed by streams in glacial ice. Caves may be bare, but more often they are decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and other formations. There may. be delicate little grottoes or huge rooms. The cave may be inhabited by bats, fish, insects, or other life. Bruce Sloane of Sperryville has been exploring caves for more than 40 years and is a live member of the National Speleological Society. A r former editor of the Rappahannock News, he has written extensively about caves, including the popular book Cavers, Caves, and Caving. He has edited several other cave books, including The Discovery of Luray Caverns, Virginia which is sold at that cave. Sloane is also the author of New Hampshire’s Parklands. He is employed as the documentation manager at Blueridge Technologies in Flint Hill. The Friday night program will tell you all this and more, brought to life through brilliant color slides. 1 New Show To Open In Middle Street Gallery The Middle Street .Gallery is presently preparing the opening of its January show. The new exhibition is entitled “New yearNew Member Show” and features works from newer members of the gallery. The show is open Jan. 7-23. Artists represented in this show include Bruce Branded, Sandra Burton, Connie Canby, Ellen Fairchild-Flugel, Martha Sheets Knight, Stephen Ladrew, Kim McLaughlin, Jeff MacNelly, Dieter Schellinger, Mary Anne Sturken and Douglas Teller. The' variety of presented art forms, media and styles should make this an interesting por trayal of Rappahannocks art life today. The Artists’ reception is scheduled from 3-6 p.m. on Jan. 9. There will be an accompanying musical event, featuring Washington, D.C. jazz pianist Earl Blake. He will perform on his keyboard and present, musical pieces by Gershwin, Porter, Kern, Monk, Powell and others. Mr. Blake has previously worked with other musicians, such as of Art Farmer, Coleman Hawkins and Bobby Hebb. He covered famous Greenage Village night spots such as Trudy Heller’s, the Dickens Room and Bird Land. The public is cordially invited. Virginia Tech To Research Integrated Pest Control The federal government has awarded Virginia Tech a $7.5 million contract to develop and coordinate a world-wide research program on Integrated Pest Management techniques. I PM is a technique where farmers scout their crops for pests and disease and only use chemical controls when absolutely necessary, instead of the older method of “spraying by the calendar.” Tech has a five-year grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development to work with universities, research institutions and other organizations, in the U.S., Guatemala, Jamaica, Mali and the Philippines. Smaller programs will also be established in Uganda, Ecuador and Thailand. "* All this research could have real benefits for Virginia farmers as well, according to William Ravlin, associate professor of entomology and coordinator of Tech’s bid for the I PM program. “One of the objects of this program is to also deliver technology back to the United States and Virginia farmers,” Ravlin said. , “Many of the technologies and approaches we develop are without a doubt going to come back to Virginia farmers.” Ravlin said this will be similar to “farmer-swap” programs already underway, where American farmers visit other countries to share their expertise and bring back tips for their own operations. Researchers in other countries will work directly with farmers, Ravlin said, giving the farmers more incentive to adopt the new techniques. • Real Estate • Classifieds

In the twentythird Psalm we are assured, “He leads me beside still waters...even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me...” It is true that we cannot know what the coming year will bring, but we can determine what w* will bring to the New Year...the sacrament of regular worship each Sabbath, the strength of the Scripture, and the calm that comes from a childlike trust in our Heavenly Father.
