' ■ i. . :, Disney's Telemarketers Lobby Legislature By PATRICK GRAHAM and LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writers RICHMOND — Northern Virginia legislators and their aides say they are receiving a flood of phone ^ calls from Disney supporters. “The calls have been overwhelmingly in favor of Disney,” state Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st, said. Those Disney supporters who have called lawmakers have confirmed to Times Community Newspapers that they contacted their Richmond representatives with a little help from Disney itself. A telemarketing firm since last week has been calling Northern Virginia residents in an effort to gauge their support or opposition to the Disney theme park. If the callees .say they favor the park, they are then automatically connected to their lawmaker’s office. “They just contacted me and patched me right through,” Russell A. Harrison of Sterling said. “They talked to me for a couple of minutes. , It wasn’t long. They just wanted my opinion.” Iva Lam of Amissville in Rappahannock bounty said she was contacted by the telemarketing firm on Monday. “I told them I was in favor of Disney. I have grandkids,” she said. Jane Adams, | manager of media relations for Disney’s America, said the telemarketing company is contacting people who have called Disney to express their support for the project. “Since we made the announcement, we’ve had lots and lots of calls from supporters asking what they can do to help. . . . This group is calling those supporters and suggesting that if they feel strongly, they should contact their state legislators.” Mrs. Adams said the telemarketers can connect the resident directly with their legislator’s office in Richmond, or provide a telephone number so they can make the call later. “These are not cold calls,” she said, referring to the common telemarketing practice of making unsolicited telephone calls. however, some of those called, including Iva Lam, said that they had never contacted Disney to express their opinion. “I don’t know anything about it," she said when asked whether she had ever called Disney to express her support. Two other Northern Virginia residents, who requested that they not be identified, also said they had received unsolicited calls. "I have no idea how they got my'name,” one Chantilly resident said. Another Fairfax County resident said he also received a similar call. Mrs. Adams said Tuesday afternoon that she did not know the name of the telemarketing firm, or how many supporters were in Disney’s records. The phone bank, she said, “is a logical assumption. If people want to help, want to express their support, the logical person for them to contact would be their state legislator.” Disney officials and Gov. George Allen are scheduled to give 140 members of the General Assembly a long-awaited briefing this Thursday on Disney’s plans to use state tax dollars to improve roads near the entertainment company’s proposed 3,000-acre park in Prince William County. v Both Republican and Democraticlawmakers have been waiting anxiously for- Retails about... Disney’s transportation and infrastructure upgrade plan. Disney reportedly wants the state to fund anywhere from $60 million to $100 million for a new interchange on Interstate 66 and an access road to the park. Disney also has said the state may need to accelerate the widening of 1-66 and U.S. 15, already in the state’s improvement plans, to handle projected increases in traffic. Disney’s demands for state concessions 'are a first for Virginia. Facing this precedent, lawmakers remain undecided about how much the state should pay, thus leaving them open to lobbying campaigns from Disney or Disney opponents. Lawmakers and legislative aides say the fast majority of calls into their offices support the Disney plan.

In a brief ceremony on the floor of the House of Delegates last Wednesday, Del. Jay Katzen (R-31st) joined his fellow delegates in taking the oath of office that kicked off the 1994 session of the Virginia General Assembly. Though outside it was cold and rainy, inside the mood was bright and the chambers were buzzing with activity. The families of many delegates were on hand to watch the swearing-in, and they« shared what little space was available with the mobs of staffers, reporters, cameramen and photographers. Del. Katzen began the day with a breakfast for his fellow freshman Republicans. “It was a marvelous day,” he Said. “Repeatedly colleagues, even those who had been there for years, said that, including the day they were married and the day they graduated from college, this had to be one of the most important days of their lives.... We all felt that very strongly.” Del. Katzen talked of an “extremely welcoming” atmosphere and a “tremendous feeling of support” from both parties, though the failure of a Republican initiative for proportional committee representation on the first day left him wary. “I have felt [aSsense of unity] but it remains to be seen hcAv it is put into action,” he said. “Clearfy the wish of the majority was not to extend [proportional representation]. We did feel that this would have been an opportunity for the majority to reflect the results of‘the election... That was a turnback and I hope that on other issues we will have more... collegiality. ” With a full legislative agenda the Assembly is expected to adopt a buisk pace from the outset. Committee assignments, made by the Speaker of the House, were announced last week. , Del. Katzen, who had hoped to find a spot on the Education, Finance, and Corporation committees, will serve on Labor and Commerce, Roads, and Militia and Police. Del. Katzen has already forwarded a bill to exempt the Blue Ridge Christian Home in Bealrton from local property taxes, and plans to co-sponsor several other bills. Humble beginnings, perhaps, but there are high expectations. “I kind of feel like 1 want to keep my eyes on the stars,” he said, “but that I’ll never at the same timeforget that my feet are firml^planted on the soil of Virginia and with the people who I am serving."

Bitter Cold, Storms Continue By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Monday morning storm dropped more snow, sleet and freezing rain on the county, causing more days to be missed from school and eliminating the possibility of using the Martin Luther King Holiday to make up one of the missed school days. The storm also caused the cancellation of the program honoring Dr. King scheduled for the theatre Monday. The storm continued with sleet and freezing rain Monday night leaving everything covered with a layer of ijce by Tuesday morning. The storm followed a bitterly cold weekend. According to Sperrvville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield, on Saturday the low was 2 degrees and the high was 11. On Sunday the low was 0 and the high was 18. “You have to go back to December 22, 1989, to get a day as cold," Mr. Wingfield said. On that day the high was Id and the low was -1. Mr. Wingfield said that so far this January has averaged 11 degrees colder than January 1993. Highway department crews were kept busy Monday and Tuesday, trying to clear the roads. Ennis Jenkins, who was in charge of the local office Monday, said that the crews had enough sand and salt to take care of this storm, "but then we’ll have to order more." Mr. Jenkins said VDOT uses a mixture of sand and salt on hard surfaced roads and sand mixed with gravel on dirt roads. He said that the use of sand and chemicals is running far ahead of last year’s pace so far this year. However, he said employees are using regular amounts and not holding back on chemical usage- . , , Tuesday marked the ninth day missed from school with more missed, days likely this week. The schedule had five extra daysbuilt in that could have been used for a vacation the week after Easter if they hadn’t been needed to make up for days missed for snow. Those days are now used up, so the only break for Easter will be the Friday before the weekend. The schedule of mid-term exams has also been extended, and the day set aside for teachers to work at school grading exams, will instead be a school day. Teachers are expected to take their work day at home on Saturday after exams. The high school sports schedule has also been thrown for a loop. Games and practices have been cancelled leaving coaches and playIW> ?rs wondering how they will complete their schedules and convinced that other teams they compete against have the advantage of more practice times. 1 ' School Superintendent David Gangel said that trying to decide whether or not to cancel school is ‘the part of my job I dislike the most.” He said he mostly enjoys his job, but having to decide whether or not to close school frequently puts him in a “no win” situation. He knows that the decision will be criticised whatever he decides. He said most days he tries to get out onto the roads himself in order to make the decision before the bus drivers leave home. That means that he tries to make the decision bv 6" a.m. leaving enough time to call the drivers, the radio stations and the county sheriff. * Sometimes he calls on Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell J and Richard Smith, the school system's i administrative assistant, to ( help by driving in different parts of the county. I)r. Gangel said he also talks with people from VDOT and the sheriff’s department to find out where1 the slick places are. Sometimes they initially decide to delay school two hours. That giyes them additional time to make the call, but they still want to make that decision by 7 or, 7:30 a.m. in order to get the word to parents before they leave for work.' “From the perspective of the School Board and myself, we try to err on the side of safety, even if it makes us look bad,” Dr. Gangel said. He said he is reluctant to ask the drivers to put oh chains because they should be removed for riding on dry pavement. If the chains are left on whien the bus is oh dry pavement, they break, he said. That would mean putting them on and taking them off several times during an average bus run. Also the state does riot allow the school system to use chains on the inside wheels, and chains on only the outside wheels are sometimes worse than no chains. The school system has also con. sidered trying to implement a policy of only picking up children along hard surfaced roads. That is a program used in Warren County on some days. Frequently it means that Warren County has school when Rappahannock schools are closed. At last week’s School Board meeting Dr. Chappell said he is reluctant to adopt such a policy because of the numbers of students See Weather, Page A-6 1 Fortunately the bus parked by Mary Bailey’s house on Main Street in Washington didn't have to go anywhere.

At last week’s School Board meeting the lack of tennis courts at the school was one reason given for not trying to field a tennis team, in spite of the fact that four other teams in the Bull Run District field tennis teams. Because tennis does not require a lot of people to field a team and because there are many private courts in the coifhty, Rappahannock could have a good chance of fielding a truly competitive team. Additionally tennis is a sport that can be played for life. That is not necessarily true for most high school team sports. i The track team needs a hard-surfaced track, and the current track cannot be hard-surfaced because the dirt under it is fill. Because of the poor condition of the track, Rappahannock cannot host any track meets. Also students wanting to run track need two sets of shoes, because shoes i suitable for running on the school’s gravel track are not allowed on hard surfaced tracks. Additionally with soccer played in the spring, both the track and soccer teams are trying to use the same area for practices. When there are soccer games the track team can’t practice. Last spring the hurdlers were using the not-yetopened lanes on the U.S. 211 to practice jumping hurdles. That won’t be possible this year. The area behind the high school is a satisfactory soccer field, but it is not satisfactory for track. With youth football underway last fall youth teams for both football and soccer were using that same soccer field. We had the interesting phenomenon of playing football on a field without goal posts. In addition it was necessary to continually change the lines of lime depending on which sport was being played. It is inevitable that that the youth football program will eventually lead for calls for a high school football team. ' Something else will have to be provided for a football field. After years of picking glass out of the field, it is finally useful for soccer, but it would be better to start over to develop a football field, which would also have to be lighted. Since football is played in the fall and track is a spring sport, those two sports can use the same area. What is needed is a football field with a track around it and separate areas for field events. Additional space could be used for tennis courts. This county has had tremendous success calling on the > community for support for many different needs. We believe that the community would come through for expanded athletic facilities, but first the county needs to acquire the land.

MARIE DAVIS, Officer Manger Department of Social Services Disney Plan Attacked To the Editor: The lovable “Mickey Mouse” public persona of The Disney Co. is only a facade: Disney is really “a political power motivated by greed, bent on growth and nearly impossible to control” (Los Angeles Times, Feb. 20, 1990). In Florida they were fined $1100,000 by the EPA for polluting Reedy Creek with sewage for a year; Reedy Creek flows into the Everglades. They were fined over $100,000 or improper storage of toxic wastes on their property. And they paid fines for over 16 counts of animal cruelty for intentionally killing wild birds such as hawks and falcons (Prime Time Live, Sam Donaldson). \ ( In response to a newspaper report that 3,000 employees»had quit because of low pay and poor working conditions, the Euro Disney president conceded that employees do work under “tough conditions.” Now ■ that Euro Disney has lost over $900 million Disney “is back-pedaling furiously, slashing prices at its’ hotels and restaurants, and serving oncebanned alcohol at the theme park...” (New York Times, Dec. 12, 1993.) Orlando has gone from 6,000 hotel rooms to 80,000; where there were once 56,320 citrus acres in central Florida, there are now only 9,470 acres. Now it’s Virginia’s turn. Disney’s latest report on their ever-expanding numbers estimates that they will bring an additional 25,000 vehicles to our already jammed roads. The Disney Development Co., with a net worth of over $22 billion, has requested a minimum of $60 million in state funds or bonds to build roads, ap interchange on its own property, an interchange on Rt. 66 which would be built to serve only Disney, as well as improvements on roads that lead to their phoperty. A private milti-billion dollar corporation should not be putting taxpayer money at risk for their own profit and dictating government financing of road improvements on their own land, but should be paying Virgin I ians to be granted the privilege to stand among the historical treasures of Mount Vernon, Manassas Battlefield, Arlington National Cemetery, Stratford Hall, Monticello and other masterpieces of Virginia architecture. Virginians should study the histories of Orlando and Anaheim, as the following quotes illustrate: “Anaheim and Long Beach better look long and hard at Disney. Those people are powerful and dangerous around here (Orlando). The roads are jammed, everything is clogged and now we have to raise taxes to pay for Disney’s business... It’s just plain greed.” Bill Donegan, Orange Co., Florida Commissioner, Los Angeles Times, 1990. Local officials in Orlando dubbed Disney “The Mouse That Ate Orlando.” “A 1991 survey showed that36 percent of residents believed Disney paid less than their fair share of taxes or fees to pay for growth. Debra Sharp, USA Today, December, 1993. “The 1972 (governmental) bonds were issued in the sum of $20,000,000 to provide funds for drainage and sewers; nearly all to help Disney World. This special status amounted to a loan...purely to. aid one corporation...Disney, in effect, is able in this manner to borrow money for up to 30 years in the five percent interest bracket. Harold A. Berliner, “The Real Magic in the Magic Kingdom” “...if we (Disney) have the responsibility of putting the (highway) interchanges and things like that..It would just crater us financially.” Michael Eisner, Disney CEO, The Washington Post, December 1993. Eisner alone, the above-quoted CEO of Disney, had a personal income of $176 million last year. Obviously, the financing of Disney’s needed infrastructure at $60 million would not “crater” Disney’s CEO financially. On Jan. 20, Governor Allen and 140 delegates will convene to decide whether or not to approve Disney’s request for funding through statebacked (taxpayer-backed) bonds. Orlando and Anaheim have experienced the greed, the lies, the subterfuge, the hardball tactics, and have suffered the consequences. Call and write the governor and your elected state legislators (central FAX: 804-786-6310) to tell them to say no to subsidizing a private multi-billion dollar corporation with taxpayer funds; tell them to say no to risky taxpayer-backed bonds ’(loans) to benefit a development company with a net worth of over $22 billion. If Disney wants to cash in on the history and beauty of our countryside, let them pay the full price of admission. Let’s let Eisner know that we may be country folk, but we ain’t complete yokels. KATHLEEN HIGGINS The Plains v Russians Comment On Their Politicians By JOHN W. KISER III Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Dec. 12, 1993, “shock therapy” was administered by Russian voters to Moscow’s reformers and their Western supporters in the first free parliamentary elections since the fall of Communism. The strong showing of ultranationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a man previously considered a marginal extremist and not taken seriously, should be viewed as a wakeup call. With a 55 percent turn out, Zhirinovsky’s Liberal Democratic party took an impressive 23 percent of the vote, 10 points better than the reformist party Russia’s Choice, led by Yegor Gaidar. Yet interpreting Zhirinovsky’s success is not easy. His performance presents something more generically dangerous for democracy in Russia tharf'the sum of his statements and positions, in themselves no small cause for concern. The week following the elections I was in Moscow and Leningrad, where Zhirinosky’s support was the weakest. Taxi drivers, hotel personnel and scientists, revealed a broad based disenchantment with politics and politicians in general. It is a growing mood of antipolitics, and Zhirinovsky capitalized on it effectively. One thing I came away certain . of--this is a critical time for the United States to listen to Russians, not preach to them. Zhirinosky is not a phenomenon to be wished Sunday Evening, Dec. 12 Alexei is head of the international relations department of a ceramics reseach institute outside Moscow who had waited six hours at Sheremetyevo to meet my delayed flight. At the time the election results were still unknown. I Opinion Driving into Moscow I asked Alexei who had he voted for. “Shakhrei” he answered. And what party does he represent? Alexei seemed a little embarrassed, “Oh I can’t remember now, but he is young, energetic, educated,” repeating these attributes several times as if to compensate for not being able to attach him to a party. On our way into Moscow, Alexei told me he had been to China recently. “The Chinese live quite well. They have plenty of food. They did not try to change everything at once, but kept their reform process under control. We should have followed their example.” Walking to my room at the Belgrade Hotel on Smolensky Square, I met three floor maids having a ► smoke. Puffing away in their black and white polka dot smocks looking like three overgrown school girls, the ladies declared themselves to response to my question how they had voted: one for Shakhrei, one for Gai dar and one did not vote. But they were all in agreement about one thing. They were sick of politics and politicians. “All they do is promise, promise, promise. But what do they do?” said the no vote polka dot lady as she punched the air viciously, thumb in fist, the European version of the American single digit. And Zhirinovsky, I asked? “He is crazy and says stupid things. He wants to close the borders, he promises cheaper sausage, cheap vodka, higher salaries in one year. You cannot believe anyone!” I went into my room and turned on the TV to witness a huge banquet to celebrate the voting of a new constitution and of the election process itself. A busty blond moderator was filling time between different bleary eyed speakers by repeating endlessly, “Happy Political New Year.” Monday, Dec. 13 The “Happy Political New year” turned out to be an April Fool’s joke. The leading reform champions-Gaidar, Yavlinsky and Yeltsin himself never showed up at the previous night’s Political New Year’s Eve party. Much of Moscow was in trauma. But not my driver, Anatoly, who met me promptly at 9 a.m. for my first meeting. He is 50, his father was Ukrainian, his mother from Ryazan, in Russia. His one son is visiting America and wants to be a ballet dancer. His wife works in a hotel. We headed along the Moscow river embankment and past thfc White House which only two months ago had been under bloody siege. It now looked well on its way to restoration with hundreds of men moving about on scaffolding like ants on a cake. Well, are you satisified with the election results? “Yes.” he replied. Does that mean you voted for Zhirinovsky? “No, I didn’t vote, but I am glad he did well. I am not for him because he is a fascist though, but because he is a wolf.” I inquired further as to Anatoly’s meaning. “You see the government needs a wolf. It is surrounded by wolves-Mafia, criminals of all kinds, and the government has domesticated dogs; people like Gaidar who are soft academics. They are just juicy meat for the criminals. He should go back to the university. We need a wolf to fight the wolves that are destroying our country.” Passing a bazaar on the Leninsky prospect across from the giant “robocop” stature of Yuri Garagrin, Anatoly glanced at the street vendors. “Those people from the Caucasus (Kavkazi) all prey on Muscovites. There may be some good ones, but those who come here just exploit people. They are wolves.” Editor’s note: Mr. Kiser’s report on conversations with Russians following their election will continue in later issues.

Town Council OKs RAAC Coffeehouse . ■ 'I By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council granted approval for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) to use the Town Hall for a public coffeehouse for one evening. Page Smith, representing RAAC, approached the council with the request to have a coffeehouse open to the public from 8 p.m. to midnight. Coffee and pastries will be available, and no alcohol will be served, she said. Entertainment will probably be provided by folk musicians. Admission will be free, but a hat will be passed for donations, she said. “If it serves a public purpose, I believe the building should be used and not sit here dark,” said council ■member Ray Gooch. ! “I like the idea. I think RAAC is a broad enough organization that this could be called a public use of the building,” said council member Newbill Miller. Mr. Gooch added, “Three,of us on the council have met before about this public use of the town hall, and we need to meet again to make some decisions. Louise Van Dort said, “We should make it perfectly clear to anyone who uses the Town Hall that the top floor is off-limits.” The council decided that it could be easily roped off to keep people downstairs. Also, Ms. Van Dort brought up the issue of keys for the Town Hall. “The lock needs to be changed, and I need a spare key,” she said. Mayor Dean Morehouse said, “We should get new keys and have a $10 or $20 deposit from people who check it out. If we lend out the town hall, we trust the people who are us ing it to take care of it. If they do not, then they don’t get to use it again.” After the council voted to approve the motion, Ms. Smith thanked the council members. “I think it’s wonderful that the building can be used,” she said. Town Treasurer Brad Fisher reported that the council has spent over $1,000 in reproduction costs in the past year. Frank Reynolds did some research on acquiring a copy machine for the town. He said, “We can rent a copy machine that can do fast copies and collating. We have a copy machine but it cannot do large jobs. We can rent one for $95 a month, which includes all maintenance.” The new copy machine could be located in Mr. Reynolds’ office, and Mr. Reynolds would pay for any of his personal use of it. The copy machine would be just like the one used presently in the County Clerk’s office. Mr. Miller supported the idea. “I think it is a good deal for the town,” he said. A motion was approved to go ahead and get the copy machine. Mr. Fisher reported that he had received the results of a test done on town water for the presence of copper and lead. The water tested was from homes with plumbing systems which contained copper pipes with lead soldering, installed between 1982 and 1986. The test, completed by the state health department, showed that the water was free of any harmful amounts of these metals. Passing this test means that the town will not be required to undergo an engineering study, which could have cost $50,000. The next Washington Town Council meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9. Drivers With Car Phones Can Help Catch Drunk Drivers . . . > ■ j Drinking drivers in Virginia, who in 1992 were involved in 13,830 alcohol-realted crashes in which 379 person were killed and 11,493 injured, will find it much more difficulty in the months ahead to travel the state’s highways undetected, according to Col. Carl R. Baker, Virginia State Police Superintendent. 4 Thousands of motorists across y most of Virginia who have cellular telephones in their vehicles are beind asked to dial Star-DUI (*384) to report suspected drinking drivers. Callers should be able to give their location, direction of travel, der~— " — scription of the suspect vehicle and license number, and reason for'suspicion. Dispatchers immediately • will help relay thie informaiton to the nearest available law enforcement officer. “We are grateful to Sprint Cellular for initiating this valuable public service,” said Col. Baker. Officials of Sprint Cellular have now entered into cooperative agreements with other cellular providers including Cellular One, Blue Ridge Cellular and Shenandoah Cellular to expand this program to most areas of the Commonwealth.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The RCHS Varsity Volleyball team: standing Coach Paul Paratore, Shannon Walter, Laura McNear, Jaimee Hammit, Stephany Dove and Emmy Bailey; kneeling Sherri Jo Shaw, Camilla Josephson, Shannon Eastham, Janet Hitt and Johanna Tole; not pictured Amy Hathaway. Teams Fall in Away Games By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer “A little break is good, but this is too much,” said RCHS volleyball coach Paul Paratore. The volleyball teams have played only two games since they returned from Christmas break, and have practiced only once in the last week. Coach Paratore said, “If you can practice, then you can be consistent and concentrate on what you’re doing right. The girls are as hungry as I 3m to get it going.” The varsity and junior varsity teams both fell to Clarke County on Jan. 13. “They did not play well. We are hoping for the best in the rest of the season,” said Coach Paratore. The volleyball teams will play at home against Strasburg this Sat. at 2 p.m. The RCHS varsity basketball team was defeated by George Mason on Jan. 11. They are scheduled to play Brentsville at home on Jan. 21, at Central on Jan. 22, and at Page County on Jan. 28. SCS Will Help with Manure “Do you need to increase your crop production and at the same time spend less mohey on your fertilizer bilis? Then you will want to consider installing a waste storage structure for you operation,” states John Jeffries of the Soil Conservation Service. Whether you produce meat, milk, or,grain, your profit depends on using plant materials in a manner that will produce the best crop at the least cost. Manure can supply the majority of the nutrients needed for crop production on an average field for this area. An animal waste structure is used to temporarily store liquid or solid wastes as part of a pollutioncontroled or energy-utilization system to conserve nutrients and energy 1 and to protect the environment.

Expensive Houses Built By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Building Inspector Richie Burke said that construction picked up during 1993, but more and more of the houses being built are “upper scale.” There were 49 permits for new home construction in 1993, compared to 48 in 1992. The dollar amount of the construction was also up from $5.7 million to $6.5 million, but Mr. Burke estimates that the actual value of houses being built is much higher. Fees for the basic building permits are based on square footage of the building, not on the actual cost, so Mr. Burke’s office uses cost estimates supplied by the builder or owner. In many cases the actual cost of the house is higher, he estimated. Mr. Burke said that there are fewer and fewer permits for low cost houses, and even moderately priced houses are dropping, while permits for houses with 5,000 to 6,000 square feet are less unusual. Permits for remodeling, additions and renovations were down in 1993. There were 87 such permits issued in 1992 with a construction amount of $2 million. In 1993 there were 57 permits for additions or remodeling with a cost of $1.3 million. The numbers of permits for commercial construction, storage shops and barns, as well as electrical upgrades, and swimming pools were about the same. There wrere three permits for removing underground storage tanks in 1993, and none listed for 1992. ' Mr. Burke’s workload increased from 1,377 inspections in 1992 to 1,519 in 1993. He also had more walk-in and scheduled consultations. Mr. Burke said that many of the large houses are being built by contractors from Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., and local contractors have problems getting some of these jobs. However, he said that many local contractors are staying busy with smaller jobs. He estimated that about half the construction jobs are going to local contractors. At the height of the recession, outside contractors were getting most of the jobs when construction activity almost came to a standstill in Northern Virginia, he said. They were willing to submit very low bids, just to keep crews working. With construction picking up in other areas, this is less of a problem. However, outside contractors still get many of the large jobs because architects from Washington are used to working with them. Mr. Burke said he does not expect to see building activity at the level it was in 1987 when many smaller, more modest houses were being built, but there is still more i than enough activity to keep him busy. He expects a lot of his time in 1994 will involve constructibn of the addition at the elementary school. He said he hopes to visit the site at least once a day once construction starts.

VDOT Offers Driving Advice When it snows in Virginia, many residents are forced to drive under conditions to which they are not accustomed. F olio wing are some. tip® - from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to help motorists drive safely in snow and ice: • If you must drive, be sure your car is in good working conditions, know the road conditions and allow yourself plenty of time to get where you are going. • Always wear your safety belt. • Before starting out, make sure all lights and windows are clear for maximum visibility. • It is much more difficult to stop when driving in snow or ice.

He said that such a policy might mean dropping very young children off far from any houses or bringing them back to school if there is no one to meet them. i Dr. Gangel said the School Board will probably want to wait and see1 how many more days are missed before deciding how to make them up. One possibility, which was used last year, is using “banked time.” The state allows school systems to i bank time for each day school is in session more than six hours, not counting lunch time.

Motorists should keep tire chains (if the vehicle is not equipped with snow tires), a small shovel and a small bag of sand for traction in the vehicle at all times during winter months. In case your car gets stuck or stranded, it’s helpful to keep a pair of gloves, boots and a blanket in the vehicle. I ►Disney i ■ From Page A-l group, tend to write their delegates and senators.

II Lions Sponsor Music Contest It’s time for students with musical talent to prepare for the Bland Music Competition sponsored each year by the Lions Clubs of Virginia. Student vocalists or instrumentalists are eligible to participate when sponsored by a Virginia Lions Club. Registrants will be competing with hundreds of other young musicians all over the state for prizes and valuable scholarhsips made available through voluntary contributions from Lions Clubs throughout Virginia. This year’s Bland Music Contest will be held in the RCHS auditorium at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 20.If snow or ice requires that the contest be postponed, it will be held on Sunday, Feb. 27. Interested students1 can receive registration forms from their school music teachers or from a member of the Lions Club. The first Bland Music Contest was held in 1948 with state finals in Roanoke. Two awards of $150 each were given to the winners. Through the interest and efforts of Virginia Lions, the Bland Scholships amount to $7,400 annually. The Rappahannock Lions' Club has beep sponsoring annual contests locally for many years. Previous contest winners from our country have gone on to win prizes at Regional and higher levels and a few have been encouraged to pursiie professional careers in music after gaining initial success and experience at the local Bland Contest. These Virginia Lions Music competitions are being perpetuated as a living memorial to James A. Bland, the distinguished black composer who wrote the familiar song “Carry Me Back To Olcf Virginny” which was adopted in 1940 by the General Assembly of Virginia as the official state anthem. The Rappahannock Lions Club will award cash prizes of $50, $35 and $25 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in both vocal and instrumental catagories. There’s still plenty of time to vocalize, toughen your lip or limber up your fingers. So rehearse your musical act and share your talent with friends and family. You just may be better than you realize. You’ll never know unless you try. i . fey Farmers Affected By Wetlands Rules, Program Four federal agencies with joint jurisdiction over the nation’s wetlands laws have agreed to make the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Soil Conservation Service the lead agency for rulings on agricultural tod. The memorandum of agreement was published Jan. 10 in the Federal Register. The Clinton administration claimed it will try to reduce conflicts between agencies and wetlands regulations, where farmers were often caught in the middle. But the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation notes the agreement only places the SCS in control of traditional cropland. Rural properties used for forestry, Christmas trees, pasture and other uses would remain under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or the Army Corps of Engineers. However, this is the first year Virginia farmers can participate in a new federal Wetlands Reserve Program. 7 The program allows farmers to bid on a contract to set aside wetlands on their property in exchange for financial payments. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has almost $66.7 million available to enroll up to 75,000 acres of wetlands in 20 states, according to George Norris, head of the Virginia office of the USDA’s Soil Conservation Service. i Kellert Narked To Deans List, Amy Kellert, a 1992\graduate of Rappahannock County High School, has been named to the Deans List for the 1993 Fall Semester at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. 1 She continued her “A” average in French, which she has maintained over the first three semesters. She received her high school French background under the direction of ( Mrs. Wayland at Rappahannock. Amy will be declaring her major " at the end of this semester. She is currently leaning toward education. Amy is the daughter of A1 and Cheryl Kellert of Amissville. “We anticipate a heavy sign-up,”; Norris said. “The farmers will be authorized to receive payment up front' in an amount not to exceed the fairmarket value of the land in return, for a perpetual easements to the USDA.” - Farmers in the program will alscC received up to 75 percent in cost-; share funds to help restore farmed; wetlands to beneficial wetlanduses. ' The enrollment period runs Feb; 28 throught March 11. Norris said wetlands that are farmed, riparian, areas and those areas that connect tti; wetlands, making them usable forwildlife habitat, are all prime candi-! dates. Farmers must submit bids to enter the Wetlands Reserve Program. Bids will be approved by state con-; servation officials based on howmuch the property will benefit the! environment, and on how is asked; for the easement. ■;/ Film Program: Draws Crowd By SHARON KILPATRICK ; Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In spite of bitter cold Saturday night Ki Theatre had a nearly full; house for Tom Davenport’s programon making movies. Mr. Davenport has made several American versions of classic fairy i tales for PBS. All of these movies have been extremely “low budget” compared to the traditional Hollywood-type movie. Many use amateur actors and low cost sets. Mr. Davenport believes this background is helpful in trying to! help other aspiring filmmakers get started. He encourages everyone to try creating their own films or video-. tapes even if they only run for a few minutes. The highlight of the evening was gaining the inside information on how such effects were created as the head in a bucket, the vicious dog captured in a sack, and the the new coat of paint for the house.

• Community News • Obituaries 4 Rappahannock News / • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1994 Furniture Maker Uses Old Techniques By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New» Staff Writer After selling boats for 25 years and racing cars for 12, Charlie Coombs has embarked on a new career. Mr. Coombs specializes in creating 17th and 18th century furniture reproductions, ranging from primitive through high country style. He constructs furniture using Rappahannock cherry, walnut, white pine and poplar, and sometimes uses heart pine salvaged from old buildings. Other woods used are mahogany from Honduras and Africa, and maple and curly maple from Pennsylvania. He harvests much of the wood in Rappahannock by himself, or with the help of Chris Bird and his portable sawmill. Once cut, the wood needs to dry. The rule of thumb is to let the wood dry one year for every inch of thickness. Mr. Coombs dries some lengths of wood in his woodshop, and some of it in a barn. Mr. Coombs lives with his wife Paige in a restored 1700’s log home in Castleton. They moved here in 1986 from Chestertown, Maryland, while he was still employed doing sales and marketing for Boston Whaler. They restored the house themselves. It was in bad shape when they purchased it. Mr. Coombs learned to work "with wood from his grandfathers Coombs and Brown, which is the name of his business. Mr. Coombs said, “I can remember seeing my grandfather smoking a pipe while working in his woodshop. It looked like he was having fun.” Mr. Coombs seems to genuinely enjoy his woodworking, and is meticulous about his reproduction fur niture. When a client commissions him to reproduce an antique, Mr. Coombs will spend several hours taking measurements and doing sketches of the piece. He will then return to his workshop, where he will normally produce two of the same piece. One will be for the client, and the other will be a sample for hifirto keep. Mryjfcoombs uses the time honored traditional methods of building furniture - dovetailing and mortise and tenon joints with square pegs. He uses hand cut nails, which he obtains from Tremont Nail Company. Drawers are constructed with panel bottoms, which means the bottom piece of wood is not tightly fitted so that it can expand and contract with weather changes. If it was squeezed tightly into the bottom of the drawer, it would make the drawer hard to open and close at times. Rappahannock Slews Slaff Pholos/Cindy Mahan Charlie Coombs planes a piece of cherry with a plane that belonged to his grandfather. Finishes on his furniture are also authentic. Milk paints, which were used before oil paints, are mixed from a powdered form and applied to the wood. After hand rubbing, the colors look worn and give the pieces a 200 year-old look. Everything of Mr. Coombs’ is bench-built. He has a one-man shop, and “I intend to keep it that way,” he said. Right now he is preparing for the Williamsburg Folk Art Show, a juried show in which he will be participating April 8,9 and 10. “It is a well-established show, and is one of the top four shows on the east coast,” said Mr. Coombs. He plans to display 25 to 30 pieces of furniture. One of Mr. Coombs’ favorite pieces to construct is the grandchild chest. The chest can easily be placed beside a chair or at the foot of a bed. He personalizes the chest with a diamond shape centered in the middle of the top with engraved initials. Another favorite piece is the spice chest, made from an antique belonging to a client. He reproduced the chest exactly, and the dimensions are 19 inches high, 18 inches wide by 14 inches deep. Spice chests were first used in the mid 1700’s to early 1800’s when clipper ships brought spices to the states. The spices were so valuable that they were locked up in little chests with separate drawers. Usually there was one secret compartment in the chest, for the most expensive spice, possibly saffron. Some of Mr. Coombs’ furniture is contemporary, but those pieces are usually commissioned. He has made entertainment centers, dining room tables, bedside tables, chests, dry sinks, crock benches, and other furniture. His clients so i&r have been found by word of memth, or by seeing his work in the “Down Under Laurel Mills” store, which his wife manages. The maj >rity of his furniture can be found in Rappahannock County homes, but it is also found in California, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Connecticut, Maii e, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Even without advertising, Mr. Coombs\has been very successful in his career which began just three years ago. Organic Farmer Is Even Troubled By 'Safe' Sprays By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer John Bums doesn’t look like a fanner with a troubled conscience. He looks like a college professorwith a trim, white beard and glasses off and on his nose-who somehow wandered into a lettuce patch. I met Mr. Bums two months ago when I pulled .into his farm near Washington, Va. and asked if I could do volunteer labor a couple of hours a week in return for tips on orgranic farming. “What a great proposal,”' Mr. Bums said in a wry tone. When I stepped into his ramshackle farmhouse, I found the walls covered with Haitain, African and Indian art. This was not'what I had envisioned when a friend, Sharon Luke, told me that a farmer named John might need a hand on his Goat Hill Organic Farm. I discovered that the two goats and one pig were pets. The real business was lettuce and other salad vegetables-all sold exclusively to Sutton Place Gourment stores in metropolitian Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. That first week I damaged a lot of lettuce. It’s tough not to crush leaves as you cut a head from its roots, trim its stem, and pack in into plastic trays. '* “I’m glad you’re not paying me,,’ I joked to Mr. Bums when I returned for my second week. “You’d be losing money.” He shrugged. “I’ve been doing this for five years, and I haven’t made a profit yet. But this crop should put me in the black.” Mr. Bums, 49, globe-trotted as an agricultural consultant until he bought these 20 acres in Rappahannock County five years ago. Previously, he had lived in a dozen third world countries, often working for the Agency for International Development, UNICEF and other government bodies. Today Mr. Bums labors shoulder-to shoulder with his senior hired man, Jim Bonser, a former miner from Wyoming who signed on four years ago. Mr. Bums is clearly in charge, but they treat each other like brothers. Two or three other hired hands help intermittently. On my fourth week at the farm, Mr. Bonser, employee Ryan Scott and I worked alone among the rows of lettuce. Usually Mr. Bums worked beside us. We finished our harvesting and hauled the last plas tic tub to the washing area. “The lettuce is no good,” Mr. Bums said. “Throw it in the compost area.” We stared dumbfounded. We had spent hours hunched over wet soil on a chilly day. “What do you mean?” Mr. Bonser asked. “The aphids got them.” “I don’t see any bugs,” said Mr. Bonser, reaching for the nearest head and staring intently at it. “Break it is half,” said Mr. Bums. “Look at its heart.” I grabbed a head and wreched it open. It was teaming with black dots the size of sesame seeds. Mr. Bums said, “I spent the whole morning trying to wash them out, but I couldn’t do it without destroying the heads. They’ll have to be thrown away. I think it’s the cold weather-the aphids headed to the cores to keep warm. ” “Didn’t you say you get paid a dollar a head? Aren’t you talking about a loss of thousands of dollars? I asked. “$8,000,” he said flatly. “Are you sorry you didn’t spray?” asked Mr. Bonser, referring to Rotenone, a naturally-derived pesticide. “I guess so,” ftir. Bums muttered as he moved to dump out the lettuce. I returned to the farm later that aftemoon-ostensibly to show my two young children the pig and goats, but really to see how my friends were handling the disaster. Now Mr. Bums would have to wrait another year before seeing a profit, before making a dent in an outstanding loan. Everyone would have to find another job to see them through the winter. I found Mr. Bums and Mr. Bonser planting onions, a crop that can weather and winter under a blanket of straw. “I sprayed Rotenone on 4,000 baby lettuce plants-that should rid them of the aphids before we harvest them in two weeks,” he said glumly. Since Rotenone is approved for orgranic produce, I knew Mr. Bums could ship this last set of4,000 heads to the Sutton Place Gourmet and still retain his orgranic status. I thought he was glum because 4,000 heads was all he was able to save with the spary. I w'as wrong. Weeks later, when it was too cold to work and we had time to talk, I learned that Mr. Burns had been upset that he had sprayed at all. “I don’t care what the EPA says about Rotenone. It’s a poison. Period. So what if it has natural origins? So do strychnine and arsenic.” “I didn’t go into this business to make a buck. I went into it because I wanted to put my beliefs about agriculture into practice. And I violated those when I sprayed.” I countered, “But what about making a living? What about having enough money to pay your workers instead of laying them off? Doesn’t that count? Shouldn’t survival weigh in favor of spraying when necessary?” Mr. Bums looked slightly disgusted at me. “I don’t think anyone’s survival is at immediate stake. Our consciences, maybe, but not our survival. I retreated to my last argument. “Why not market the lettuce with the aphids?” I said I had taken some infested heads of lettuce home and it was easy to rinse the bugs off when I separated the lettuce leaves from the head. Couldn’t other consumers do this? i “Yes, they could, but they won’t” said Bums. “They’ve been indoctrinated to believe that bugs and cosmetic flaws degrade produce. “Ironcially, the opposite is more likely; the prettier the produce, the more chemicals is has been treated with,” he said. While shopping in Gaint Food recently, I spotted a bug on a head of lettuce. I snatched it up, took it to the check-out counter, and proundly pointed the insect out to the clerk. “Let me get you another head,” the clerk said apologetically. “No Way,” I replied. “I like bugs on my lettuce.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo.

Without shelter, the spectres of death, freezing and starvation would surely conquer them. How fortunate that a kind soul knew they would need protection. A refuge is waiting for us amidst the winds of instability that rush through our world. There we may gather to encourage one another in the warmth of God's love...to nourish our souls with the manna of sacred meditation. In 2 Corinthians 3:5 Paul proclaims, “Our sufficiency is from God.” God has provided His house as our fortress...our defense amidst danger. Paul again assures us in Romans 8:38-39, “For I am sure that neither death...nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.” Sunday Cotouians 2:20-3:4 Monday Cokwians 3:5-17 Tuesday Mark 8:27-30 Wednesday I Corinthians 12:1-11 Thursday Corinthians 12:12-31 Frida) 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4 Saturday 2 Corinthian 2:12-17 Scriptures Selected by The American Bible Society Copyright 1994 Keister-Williams Newspaper Services.

Selecting Dwarf Conifers The trend toward smaller ga; - dens has generated a great interest in dwarf plants, especially conifers. The picturesque shapes, varied textures. numerous color variations, ease of maintenance, and versatility make them a natural choice for gardens and landscape designers. They may be used effectively in foundation plantings, as groundcovers, or as specimen plants. In rock gardens they provide an interesting contrast to alpine plants, bulbs, and perennials. Dwarf confiers are nice additions to a mixed shrub border and smaller shrub gradens. They can be planted in pots for year-round color on terrance and patios.
