Council Candidates Discuss t Plans For Next Four Years By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The eight people who will be running for Washington Town Council were asked the question, “If you are elected to the Town Council, what do you hope to accomplish?” Following are their replies. Doris Critzer: “I just want to be in there and vote for what I feel is best for the town. I don’t agree with some things that I hear are being planned. I think everyone in the town should take an interest in things.” Mary Updike: “I hope to accomplish what most of the people in the town want, rather than special interests. I’ll be working for the people in town. That is all I can hope to do.” Charles Eldred: “I have decided to run because I am interested in trying to maintain a balance between the historic nature of the town and being able to provide forsome very modem needs. I also feel very strongly that people in the town should attend the meetings and get involved. I encourage the town’s citizens to come to the meetings and take part. I do this and feel very much rewarded by it.” Florence Tupper: “Having been fortunate to be a native of beautiful Rappahannock County and living in the town of Washington for 25 years, I feel I can help in the problem-solving process with a little common sense in making decisions that are beneficial to all the citizens of the town.” Newbill Miller: “I want to continue with a sound, stable voice for conservatism. I want to protect the residential interests of the town.” Janice Moffett: “One thing that I think is really important is that we have lost a lot of population in the town. From 1980 to 1980 the population was around 250, and in 1990, the census counted 198 for the town, including 17 in the jail. We have lost a lot of private residences to busi nesses. In order to remain a strong and productive town you have to have a certain population.” Reinhardt Lynch: “I’ve lived here for the last 20 years and seen a lot of people come and go. In any small community people need to work together and make an effort to get along. “Sometimes differences of opinion can become unnecessarily divisive. Most everybody here shares the same feelings of wanting to preserve and protect the unique charm of our town. “The new new water system was a great accomplishment of the present council. A central sewer system would be the next logical step. “As a successful business person, I welcome the opportunity to share and contribute to a common sense approach to town government.” Steve Owen Critzer: “I have had an interest in town government for See Council, Page 5 Old Rag Bulletins Tax Relief For The Elderly The Commissioner of Revenue is accepting applications for tax relief for the elderly.

I Culpeper Phone Customers To Get Expanded Area Rappahannock residents with Culpeper telephone numbers, such as those with 937 and 547 exchanges, got an interesting communication last month froip Bell Atlantic - Virginia (formerly C & P). For an additional $1.75 a month they will be able to call all over Fauquier and Orange counties without paying long distance charges. This is in addition to currently being able to call Madison and Culpeper counties. Not all of the Bell Atlantic customers with these telephone exchanges live in Rappahannock County, but many do, and they will be able to call four county seats, but not their own. Bill Brown, manager of the Culpeper office for Bell Atlantic, said that the company had filed with the State Corporation Commission for this expanded local calling “in response to concerns expressed by many of our customers to be able to reach, on a local basis, their neighbors, businesses, schools, municipal offices and emergency services which are located in adjacent exchanges.” He said this was part of a statewide program to provide local toll free calls to surrounding jurisdictions for all Bell Atlantic customers where the surrounding jurisdictions are also served by Bell Atlantic. Customers can comment on this proposed change by writing to the SCC, but Mr. Brown said he expects expanded local calling to be implemented unless there is significant local opposition. The change will take effect in August. He said in response to the recent survey in which Centel-Sprint customers indicated a willingness to pay $4.48 more per month to be able to call Culpeper, Bell Atlantic is conducting a study to determine the cost of adding the 675 exchange to the Culpeper local dialing area. The study is expected to be completed in April, he said. If the cost would add less than 5 percent to Culpeper bills, it can be implemented with whatever public notice the SCC requires. If it would add more than 5 See Phone, Page 5 Trash Cost Estimates Lead To Table Pounding Dispute By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The table took quite a pounding Monday afternoon at the Board of Supervisors meeting. The supervisors were discussing the costs of various options for handling county trash. The county had solicited bids for hauling county trash to large private landfills and received two bids. County Administrator John McCarthy asked for authorization to enter into further negotiations with W.C. Spratt Recycling, Inc. of Fredericksburg and Browning-Ferris Inc., the two bidders. Mr. McCarthy had provided the supervisors with cost estimates for various alternatives for handling county trash: $63 per ton for hauling trash to a new landfill cell in Fauquier County, $73 to open and operate a new cell at the county’s own landfill, $57 for Spratt Rejcycling, and $71 for BFI. All of these costs were for one transfer site only; they did not include the cost of continuing to collect trash at Huntly and Scrabble or the cost of replacing those two sites with a more central one. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham insisted that Mr. McCarthy’s figures were incorrect, especially his estimate on the costrof operating the county’s own landfill. He said he estimated it would cost $37 per ton to operate a new cell, $56 per ton if Huntly and Scrabble were kept open, and $24 per ton if the county agreed to take “fluff’ again. He began the table pounding insisting that the supervisors not go any further before receiving a briefing from Royer Engineering, the firm that submitted plans for the new cell to the state on the county’s behalf. Mr. McCarthy based his estimate on a two-acre new cell lasting two and a half years. Col. Bingham said his estimates were based on seven years without taking fluff and four years if fluff is added. He said the county should put in a scale and charge commercial haulers and businesses for taking their trash. “Every resident of the county is subsidizing the Inn at Little Washington to take care of their trash,” he said. The supervisors agreed that they needed more information. They asked a representative of Spratt what conversion factor to use in converting trash from cubic feet to tons. He told them the average loose trash weighs 100 poinds per cubic yard and that good compactors can get 400 pounds in a cubic yard. When Mr. McCarthy attempted to respond to Col. Bingham's criticism of his figures, he said all the figures were “only an estimate” and that he was only asking for permission to negotiate. He began some table pounding of his own saying “I deeply resent anybody characterizing it as anything else.” “Don’t beat on the table,” Col. Bingham said. “We run the county; you don’t young man.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson seconded Col. Bingham’s motion to table action pending a briefing from the engineering firm “until everyone is on the same page and feelings settle down,” he said. A briefing is set for Tuesday March 15 at 5:30 p.m. None of the estimates for handling trash include the cost of postclosure monitoring of the wells at the landfill site. Recent tests have shown that the pH of the water in the wells has dropped. That will require more expensive monitoring than the current estimate of $9,900 per year. The supervisors agreed to contract with Chantilly Express of Amissville to haul leachate from the landfill at a cost of 1.63 cents per gallon. They discussed the contract in executive session because the current hauler, Southern American Septic of Marshall, which had bid two cents per gallon, challenged Chantilly’s bid saying the firm was not Currently licensed to haul leachate. Following the executive session the board voted to deny Southern’s protest, because the bidding did not require that the firm be licensed to bid, and Chantilly is in the process of getting a license. The supervisors estimate that the leachate contract will cost about $20,000 per year. In other action the Board of Supervisors: • Heard a report on an update of the county’s Emergencies Operations Plan by Deputy Emergency Services Coordinator Jim Marangoni. The Sperryville Fire HaU, Amissville Fire Hall, and RCES are designated shelters. Most of the changes relate to handling a hazardous materials spill. • Approved a Bingo/Raffle permit for the Amissville Fire Department. • Approved the request of Sheriff John Henry Woodward to order two new cars for the department. The i two cars will be included in the next budget year, but to get the state’s price, they must be ordered in March. 1 • Decided to continue to take no action on Tuer III designation for the Rappahannock River. • Approved a special exception for Susan Hoffman and Michael Biniak to operate a day camp at the former Kilby Farm on Route 231 this summer. The camp will be limited to 25 campers this summer, and the applicants can apply for a larger number of children after a year of operation. ! • Approved zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan amendments for the General Commercial District. • Agreed to recommend that Hubert Gilkey continue to serve on the Rappahannock Scenic River Advisory Board. • Appointed David Fannon to another term on the Planning Commission representing Jackson District. • Learned that for the first time, health insurance for county employees will cost less next year than this.

As presented the budget calls for a $183,000 increase in local funds, but Dr. Gangel asked for School Board guidance on whether or not to add a teacher for gifted and talented students and a gasoline and diesel fuel tank at the bus shop. The board decided to add the teacher, at least until their work session next week and to plan on purchasing bus fuels from a “convenience store” they anticipate will open across U.S. 522-211 from the bus shop. With the additional teacher the county will be asked for about $212,000 additional or 6.6 percent, about four cents on the tax rate. The state’s contribution to the budget is expected to increase by more than $183,000 about 15.2 percent, while the federal contribution will be reduced from the current budget by about $9,000 or 3.1 percent. Funding for the budget labeled “other,” which includes state sales tax is expected to increase nearly $43,000. or 5.9 percent. Included in the budget is a 3 percent pay raise for many employees and a raise for teachers and teachers aides that ranges from 1 to 4.5 percent. Dr. Gangel said the average raise for these employees would be 3.6 percent. The school system will be picking up the cost of having a school social worker. For the past two years, that position has been covered by a federal grant to serve “at risk” students. That grant has been dropped and employing a social worker is mandated by the state. Providing free textbooks and eliminating fees for instructional supplies is expected to add $43,000, to the budget. About $35,600 is proposed to pay an additional 20 percent to cover employee health insurance. The budget is increased by about $68,200 additional for debt service, and nearly $28,000 to pay back the state for employees who took early retirement a few years back. Major efforts will be made at the high school to upgrade the computer network system and computerize grading. This proposal will allow the school system to qualify for an addiSee Schools, Page 5

General District Court By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer In Rappahannock County General District Court on March 8, Ronald Lee Weaver, 19, of Amissville was found guilty of driving under the influence on January 16. According to Virginia State trooper C.W. Sumner, he was called to the scene of an accident on Route 729 near Route 640 in Amiss ville, at 4:01 a.m. on Jan. 16. He arrived on the scene about 4:25 a.m. and observed a car nose down in a ditch. Mr. Weaver was on the scene, and Trooper Sumner noted that he smelled alcohol on him. At this point, he administered three sobriety tests to Mr. Weaver, all of which he failed. Mr. Weaver’s breath test showed that his blood alcohol level was .18. On the stand, Mr. Weaver admitted that he had been drinking with friends earlier in the evening saying, “We was all pretty much lit.” Mr. Weaver’s attorney, Roy Bradley, argued that there was insufficient-evidence to show that Mr. Weaver had been the person driving the car, but Judge Charles B. Foley found that Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke had produced enough evidence to prove Mr. Weaver’s guilt in this case. Mr. Weaver’s driver’s license is being taken away for six months, he must pay court costs of $146 and a fine of $50 ($150 of the $200 fine was suspended). A jail sentence of ten days was also suspended. Donetta Elizabeth Norton, 32, of Haymarket, argued against a speeding ticket she received on Feb. 6. Virginia State Trooper C.W. Sumner gave Ms. Norton a ticket for driving 69 mph in a 55 mph zone, as measured with his radar. Ms. Norton believed that she was only going 60 or 61 mph. She noted that Trooper Sumner had made two mistakes on her summons, and said that maybe he had made a mistake about her speeding too. One of the mistakes was that he noted her hair color as black, and she said her hair is dark brown with auburn highlights. The other mistake, a more serious one according to her, was that he noted her weight as 125 lbs. She said that she is a tall women, 5’1T, and that she weighs 235 lbs. At this point, she pulled a scale out of her briefcase, held it up for the judge and everyone to see, and offered to weigh herself to prove her NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TAG-ON TO RED OAK VALLEY AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL ^STRICT i In accordance with Section 15.1-1511 (f), Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County hereby give notice of their intention to hold a public hearing on Monday, April 4, 1994, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, to consider a tag-on to the Red Oak Valley Agricultural and Forestal District.

Checkoff To Benefit Housing Prolonged periods of sub-freezing temperatures during January and February have had a harsh effect on the homeless, and the elderly and disabled living in marginal housing. Many shelters in Virginia were filled to capacity and were forced to turn away homelss during the cold spell. Although emergency winter programs to shelter this overflow provide an additional capacity of 154 beds per night, there were still deaths among those unable to find shelter. /, While the plight of the homeless is more conspicuous, extreme temperature also impact less visible groups such as the low-income elderly and disabled living in substandard housing. With incomes that do not cover the costs of the necessities of life, these individuals face a bitter choice between heat, shelter, food and medicine. i Virginians filing a state income tax form can help these groups through the Check-Off for Housing Program. Taxpayers may designate all or part of their state income tax refund by entering an amount in the “Housing Program” block on their tax form. The program targets these special groups by applying 100 percent of the contributions to projects managed by local church, civic and other nonprofit groups. In the past four years this program has awarded almost $600,000 statewide through 80 grants averaging nearly $8,000 each. Communities, recognizing members in distress, have improved housing conditions for elderly, disabled and homeless persons by installing or upgrading heating systems and waterAvastewater disposal systems, • replacing roofs, and installing wheelchair ramps. Other projects have included physical improvements to homeless and domestic violence shelters, and the rehabilitation of property for use as a group home for mentally disabled adults. One group, assisting a low-income elderly woman whose dilapidated home was beyond repair, was able to build a replacement home through a Check-Off grant and locally donated materials and labor. While this program facilitates donation from Virginians receiving tax refunds, others may donate by contacting: Check-Off for Housing Program, Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, 501 North Second Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23219, (804) 371-7100.

Day REALTOR OCCUPANCY DATE One of the most Important dates in the purchase and sales contract is the occupancy date. This should not be an afterthought. This Is the date that the home belongs to the buyer and he can move in. The seller must be out by this date. It will take 30 to 45 days for a loan to be approved and settlements are usually 60 to 90 days after a contract has been accepted. If necessary, the buyer can negotiate a rental agreement with the seller to allow him to occupy the property after the occupancy date. Naturally a fair rental fee would be ayreeu on Dy Dom parues. However, It Is preferable to decide on a date that can be carried out by both parties - one that does not have to be altered. Timing is critical when the buyer and seller are also involved In buying and selling ' other properties (which is often the case). It Is not unusual for both parties to arrive at settlements with their belongings packed in a moving van.

' ; Fauquier Free Clinic To Serve Rappahannock The Fauquier Free Clinic officially opened its doors to the people of Rappahannock County March 1.' Seeing an unserved population ih that area, the Free Clinic decided to extend its services to Rappahannock County residents. “Culpeper and Fauquier both have free clinics, and the people in Warren County use the free clinic if) Winchester,” said Linda Coit, Administrator of the Fauquier Free Clinic. “The people of Rappahannock were not being served by any Of these clinics, and we saw that there was a real need we’re trying to meet.” The Fauquier Free Clinic has been in operation since July 1993, and has seen several hundred par tients since it began offering free services to those who cannot afford medical care. The clinic sees about 20 patients per week, and has become the primary care giver fqr many patients who use it on a reguT lar basis. The clinic is open every Thursday evening at the Fauquier County Health Department, located at 330 Hospital Drive in Warrenton. Registration is from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and the staff stays until all registered patients have been seen. “We’re trying to work out some transportation to the clinic for whoSe who live in Rappahannock and have no way to get here,” said Coit. “We would love to talk to anyone who would like to volunteer to transport patients or to serve in other areas.” Anyone who wishes to volunteer, or who has questions about whether they qualify for services can call the Fauquier Free Clinic at 347-0394.

jfhe Ululating Mummies will perform at RCES Saturday. Mummies To Perform For Bluemont Dance ,7 The Ululating Mummies will perform a dance/concert at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 12 at the Rappahannock Elementary School in Washington. The evening is sponsored by the Bluemont Concert Series; admission is $7 per person; $5 for Bluemont friends. All are welcome. Since they first appeared with Bluemont in the summer of 1992, many people have asked “When are the Mummies coming back?” Well here they are, in all their colorful pageantry and their wonderful festive music. If Dr. Seuss designed a dance band, it might well look and sound something life the Ululating Mummies. Richmond’s famed underground band, the Mummies are a bit difficult to describe. This dance band from the galaxies has musical roots in raggae, jazz, Latin, African, Appalachian, Irish, Balkan and Icelandic music. The Mummies performances are generally theatrical and festive events combining an unusual mix of music, fashion and comedy. The ban’s “one world” vision permeates their music and their concerts with a cheerful blend of props, ideas, instruments and lively music from nearly everywhere on earth. The Mummies instruments include saxophone, accordion, mandolin, electric and bass guitars, and all sorts of drums and percussion things. These dances are held the second Saturday of each month October through May and alternate locations between Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains and the Rappahannock Elementary School in Washington. A Bluemont dance committee of volunteers helps plan and present the dances; anyone who would like to help out at a dance or at other Bluemont events should contact Katherine Treanor at 937-5794, the Bluemont Office at 777-6306 or write Bluemont, Box. 208, Leesburg, Va. 22075. t The next Second Saturday dance will be on Saturday, April 9 at Grace Episcopal Chruch in The Plains with The Dixie Power Trio. II Jackson Concert Ends Ki's Exchange Series By KAREN HENDERSON Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Ask anyone in Virginia what music typifies the sound of our region... and they’ll reply “John Jackson.” The seventh of fourteen children bora in Rappahannock County to tenant farming parents, John Jackson is indeed this country’s native son. Almost like an ambassador from the Blue Ridge, he has carried his warmth, his music and his love for America and her people to over 60 nations. He has performed for Presidents, the Congress and Senate, Kings and Queens, European royality, and heads of State around the globe. At 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, John Jackson will be presented with "A Personal History” by Ki Theatre. This third and final program of the 1994 Exchange Series will be held at The Theatre in Washington with the box office at Ki Theatre. Unlike other musicans, he car ries no preconceived notions about audiences and whether or not they will accept his style. He just sings and plays, and if they applaud...so much the better. To put it in his words, “Some folks like my music more than others.” He’s been playing his music for as long as people would listen, far longer than the years since the commercial world found him some 30 years ago. He was discovered in a gas station by Chuck Perdue, one of the founders of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington. Always a “high-test” performer, Jackson has never been accused of “running on empty.” This incredible man is a fount of talent and good humor. To hear him tell the story, he did not hope for fame, and never dreamed that anything like his “discovery” would happen. He worked at what jobs he had to make ends meet. This has included being a farmer, butler, chauffeur, Civil War Historian, and gravedigger. He still digs graves for extra income, but after doing the grueling work by hand for 17 years, he now finds the backhoe much more effecient. In addition to that, John Jackson is a philosopher, a humanitarian, and quite an artist. In 1986, John Jackson received the National Heritage Award, recognizing him as one of a small, select group of artists whose achievement and strong commitment to our country’s artistic traditions merit special recognition. In other words, he is considered a national treasure. Some say he’s the best blues player alive, and although he’s noted as a world famous musician, songwriter and recording artist, he will only say of himself that he is “just a workin’ man.” Trish Byerly, his friend and agent for over six years, says, “As long as I have known him, John Jackson remains the best friend I’ve ever had. I can never get over how fascinating he and his music are. He really cares about everything, especially people.” ■ His songwriting continues, even after all these years. How does he do it? “I just dream of it, and I don’t forget it. When I wake up in the morning, I write it down. It’s all there, a complete tune.” He is looking forward to performing at the Exchange, which offers a unique opportunity for the audience to engage in dialogue with the artist following the performance. “I do eryoy myself, and hope that lots of people come out and ask me questions (after the show). I enjoy that as much as playing music.” Enough said. If he enjoys it so much, you know we will too. John Jackson will be at The Theatre at 8 p.m. on March 19. Tickets are $10.

Sal* *nds W*drt*aday, March IS *n<' Gallery Show Offers Variety of Artists By SALLY WALKER Rappahannock Newi Contributinp Writer Artists and Friends, which opened to a festive crowd of more than fifty this past Sunday at The Middle St. Gallery, seems to offer something for nearly everyone. Since the show is designed for Gallery members to exhibit alongside favorite fellow artists, the works bring together a broad base of talent and media. Review Upon entering the gallery one sees the arresting A Mother's Place by Davette Kvames, who is exhibiting as the friend of Kim McLaughlin. A Mother’s Place is a dramatic colored pencil on pastel paper portayal of the artist’s relationship with her mother and sister. Robin Purnell’s extroardinary talent once again glows in her Evening, a striking portrait of a young woman. The woman appears to shine with a three-dimensional light, a characteristic of Mrs. Purnell’s work. Her stormy stare fuels an inscrutable smile, all caught magnificently against a background of vines, a kingfisher, and a bluebird. Sandra Burton has included one of her “recycled” wood pieces called Mrs. Phew. Burton has the gift of being able to reveal a vision inherently living within a piece of wood, gently and lovingly bringing out touches that make it clearer to the rest of us. Mrs. Phew is an outstanding example of the subtlety of Ms. Burton’s work, with tiny feet, paws, and an enchanting face bringing humor and identity to the wood sculpture. Ms Burton’s son, Walter is showing a handsome landscape along with his mother’s piece, a change from the mounted rider he had originally planned to show. There are other outstanding pieces in this show. Judith Einstman’s Figure Series #2, a pastel nude, exhibits a depth and scope not witnessed in the artist’s non-human subjects. Stephen La Drew’s finely crafted Wine Cabinet elicits appreciation for its lines, function, and beautiful wood. Lois Manookian has created two things worth mentioning in this show. First, her watercolor The Shed is a little gem. Second, Mrs. Manookian is responsible for bringing to the show an entry called Number lk an adept pencil drawing of a chicken. As guests a the opening viewed Number lk, gasps could be heard. “Amazing” was the general consensus. Number lk was meticulously drawn by one of Manookian’s students, 10-year-old Steven Clark, a student at Rappahannock Elementary School. Another talented student at Rappahannock also exhibited in this show. 11-year-old Jeremy Slack exhibited a large wall sculpture entitled Japanese Salamander.

"After serving as our chairman for over five years, I think it is time for new blood,” said Louise van Dort. Ms. van Dort distributed ballots to members Stu Willis, Mitzie Young, Susan Parrish and Steve Critzer. Ms. Parrish volunteered to be chairman. Mr. Critzer indicated that he will be running for town council, he plans to drop the ARB, and so would rather not continue to be secretary for the town planning commission. 1 In fact, nobody wished to be voted in as secretary. Ms. van Dort said, “The planning commission will only sit if there is a subdivision or if the Town Council wants something developed into a new ordinance. We redo and update the ordinances every four years. They just had a major overhaul. It’s possible that a permanent employee will be hired and they will be required to attend the town council, ARB and planning commission meetings to produce and distribute minutes.” When the ballots were returned to Ms. van Dort and counted, four votes were tallied for Susan Parrish as chairman; and three votes for Mitzie Young to be secretary.

Events have been scheduled, canceled, rescheduled and I (| canceled again. The weather wrecked havoc with the high school winter sports schedule, affecting especially the girls’ volleyball teams which did not get to have a parents’ night, and were not even allowed a pizza party as a consolation. The weather continues to make life difficult, forcing spring sports practice for outdoor events indoors. Twenty-one school days have been missed through last week. The School Board plans to make up five by giving up on all of the spring vacation except Friday April 1. Another five days will be made up by extending school an extra week into the summer. School Superintendent David Gangel has suggested that the school system request a waiver from five more days because the school day, when there is a regular school day, . provides more than the minimum five and a half hours of ; instruction. That leaves six days with possibly more to come. Dr. Gangel said he was considering extending the school day, perhaps starting 15 minutes earlier in the morning and adding another 15 minutes in the afternoon. Another possibility is to schedule school for Saturdays, but Dr. Gangel has said he opposes that because there are usually so many absences that whatever is taught, has to be retaught. Asking the state for a further waiver is another possibility, and that’s the one the School Board accepted Tuesday night. However, everyone agreed that instructional _ time has been lost which cannot really be recovered, no : matter what type of make up is scheduled. Of course school students and employees aren’t the only - ones effected. When there is an announcement on the radio ; that “liberal leave policies are in effect” for workers, that means people are giving up their vacation time this summer because they can’t get to work this winter. We admire the heroic efforts of highway workers trying to return our roads to passability. Their hours have been nearly impossible. There are times it seems their use of chemicals, sand and gravel is rather stingy, but we understand that all that has to be trucked to Rappahannock, ; and every locality wants its share. : Here at the Rappahannock News, we’re getting pretty ! tired of this weather also. Plans for what events will be covered for each week’s paper are scrapped over and over. Of course, news is not supposed to be preplanned. News is supposed to be what happens. But frankly we are getting tired of writing about storms * and taking pictures of snow. i a child $ mm y Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan I J This charming hog and some friends can be found on a farm off U.S. 211 near Massies Corner. • ■ , * *¥ IDMHml' Disney . Opposed 1*0 the Editor. I have hesitated a long time before writing this letter because I mow many people in this county hat badly need better jobs and I did lot want to speak against something bat might bring them those jobs; lowever, in following the arguments >ro and con the Disney acquisition of and near Haymarket for an amusenent park, I did not see mention of some things that I believe, based on [>ast experience, will happen here if the Disney proposal is approved. I was raised in Orlando, Florida, and have returned there down through the years to visit family. In fact my husband and I lived for a while in Kissimmee, Florida, which is closer to Disney World than Orlando is. Kissimmee at that time was a small rural village known as the “cow capitol of Florida.” Disney purchased large acreage in a completely rural area a number of miles from any town. Today Kissimmee has disappeared into a metropolitan sprawl that includes pisney World, Orlando' and all the surrounding region. What I have not seen pointed our is that many, many of the new jobs that Disney promises will go to people who do not live in this area today. Disney is a highly publicized business. It attracts not only visitors but also workers. A few people may move into a region because a new factory opens, but everyone knows about Disney and from all over the country unemployed people come in the hope of finding work. It seems that every teenager dreams of working for Disney, so they get plenty of entry level workers at minimum wages. Orlando merchants were determined to participate in the Disney boom and they insisted that the state build the big interstate free t way through the middle of the small city, out past Disney World and on to Tampa. To do this they had to build it across one of the loveliest lakes in the city. The downtown died anyway because numerous huge shopping malls sprang up closer to Disney. Of course city centers were declining everywhere, but Orlando officials believed that Disney World would bring enough new business into Orlando to save the downtown area. The city is rebuilding itself today. Meantime the traffic on the interstate has become worse than the Washington, D.C. beltway. It comes to a standstill every morning and afternoon. The Orlando airport, which was comparatively small and quiet, has been rebuilt several times and is now as busy as Dulles or National Airport. All this happened in an region that did not have the population or the traffic of Northern Virginia. What will happen here where the airports, roads and towns to the east and north of the proposed Disney site are already crowded? Zoning will not protect the region because zoning is voted in and can be voted out as large numbers of new people arrive. People will look away from the city for housing because land prices are lower. There will be great population pressure to the west of the Disney site. Of course, the larger number of residents will mean more business, but it was not the businesses that were already established in and around Orlando that prospered after Disney World arrived. When the population reaches a certain level small merchants are forced out by every larger chain stores. Banks, hotels and chain restaurants did prosper, but local business did not. If you believe that northern Virginia is under populated, supportthe Disney proposal. If you dread driving into Washington, D.C. today because of the traffic, it will get much worse. Adding another lane or two to U.S. 66 will no compensate for the traffic to Disney and the cars of the new population. JOYTURNERLUKE Sperryville Arts Supported To the Editor Thank you for your insightful and concerned editorial in the Feb. 23 paper on the relationship of art and education. As you state, “..a truly educated person knows and appreciates the arts. The best door to that knowledge and appreciation is experience in making art. And for many students that arts also provide the door to the rest of knowledge.” As a former teacher and life-long student of art, I can’t imagine a better statement with respect to the importance of art and education than the one you have made. Art allows us to distinguish our animal selves as human beings. Others animals may be naturally more beautiful than we are—I think of a shell, the zebra and the giraffe— but few other animals invent and produce ideas about existence as we do. Yes, there is the bird’s nest, the bird’s courting dances, coral, the spi tier's web; there are indeed other animal artistic manifestations. However, frequently, it is only the educated eye that sees and understands the art in nature all around us. But above all, there is the human impulse to express and celebrate life and its meaning in song, music, dance, carving and other graphic * forms that define who we are and where lies significance. Why should we continue to exist? Art tells us not only who we are but who we have ( been. We must struggle not to ask the wrong questions and be satisfied with the wrong answers. Sweep away “human” values and you sweep away life. Focus on human values and you make art. Let us not starve and deceive our children when it comes to telling them what counts. Art is close to humor. A world without humor? A world without art? A reptilian world? DIANA BIRD Washington Music Program Supported To the Editor I’m replying to the editorial of Feb. 23 “Music and the Arts.” The first thing I’d like to say is, “Congratulations to all of you who had the courage to get up on that stage and perform, you were great. Don’t let negative people keep you from your desires and your dreams.” The negativity that was displaying in the editorial is only one reason why there is less and less participation in the Bland Contest; there are others. The Lions Club is supposed to give certificates of participation to all those who performed. I know of incidents where they did not do this. They have not been consistent. All performers deserve recognition for their talents. Mrs. Russell and Ms. Whitford also deserve a lot of respect and recognition for the countless hours thev spend during and after school helping the students select their music and practicing with them, most of which is on their own time without pay. They are two dedicated music teachers. The judges that are selected for this contest are volunteering their time and are commended for doing so. Most of them are very qualified, but some are not. The judges are given evaluation sheets where they enter their scores for each performer. After each performance, th§ judges are given time to enter their scores on these sheets. When everyone has performed, the judges get together and total these scores to determine the winners. It is known to be a fact that some of the judges have changed their scores from what they originally put down. There have also been incorrect totals due to inaccurate addition. The message that is being sent to these performers is, what’s the point. The judges show favoritism and don’t even have the common courtesy to add correctly. This really tears down the performers self-esteem. Until there are more positive attitudes from the Lions Club, judges, media, school and the public, you are not going to get the performers. There is so much talent in the schools and this county in the arts. More and more we are ignoring the fact that the arts are very important in the education process. It is a fact that a student who participates in the arts excels much more than the student who does not. We also need to see more in our newspapers about what’s going on in our schools concerning the arts. i Can you imagine not seeing the beautiful art that surrounds us? Can you imagine the silence of no music? I can’t. We need more music and art in our schools. It is essential. JUDY M. HITT Castleton Thanks For Volunteer Help To the Editor: On behalf of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Steve Leake and Jimmy Dodson for clearing the driveway to the fire station during the most recent snow storm. Without their help we would not have been able to respond to an emergency had the need arisen. Additionally, I would like to thank Steve and his employees at Blue Ridge Excavating for their past efforts in making sure the station’s driveway remained clear this winter. Again, I would like to stress the importance of their contribution and acknowledge that their help was greatly appreciated by myself and all the member of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department. GREGWAYLAND Chief SVFD Student Seeks Virginia Information To the Editor; Please print my letter. I am in the second grade and we are writing letters to all states to help us learn about them. It would help us learn'if people would send postcards from Virginia. Thank you for printing my letter. LEE SKIDMORE Houghtaling Elementary, 2940 Barahot, Ketchikan, AK 99901.

Spring Teams Begin Practice / By CINDY MAHAN ■aMMhannoek Ncwi SUIT Writer As spring sports get underway at the high school, the baseball team has a new coach this year. He is Bob Howard, who began as a substitute teacher at the high school two weeks ago. Mr. Howard hails from Brookline, Massachusetts, where he lived within walking distance of Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. He graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut last May. He has spent 11 of his 22 years playing baseball, mostly in the position of catcher. Because of an injury, he didn’t play much baseball in college, but did work as an assistant coach at a high school in the northeast. Tammy Snider is a hew track field coach, who will share the duties with David van de Graaff this season. She began teaching special education classes at RCHS this year, and has a master's degree in special education and learnings diaahilities from West Virginia University. Ms. Snider ran track in high school, specializing in the 800 meter run, and some relays. She will assist mostly with middle distance runners and conditioning with the RCHS track team. Ms. Snider presently lives in Fauquier County, but is building a house in Front Royal. The first home game of the four spring teams will be a softball scrimmage next Tuesday against William Monroe at 4 p.m. The soccer team’s first home game, also a scrimmage, will be against James Wood on March 18 at 4 p.m. The baseball team will play at home against Madison County on March 23 at 4 p.m. Unfortunately, the track and field team once again has no meets scheduled at RCHS, due to the track being in such bad shape. Their first meet will be against RMA and Page County on March 23. The meet will begin at 4 p.m. at Page County. Returning coaches this year are Uli Maeyer for soccer, Renee Leake for softball and David Van de Graaff for track. I ■i ?

Frances Thornton, who represents Piedmont District, said she had heard from amny parents who wonder why so much is spent on special education and so little for gifted students. Chairman Beverly Massie noted mai planning special worn ior guiea students puts a lot “of extra work” on regular classroom teachers. She asked if state funds might be increased to pick up part of the cost. Dr. Gangel said he had used the “worst case scenario” in presenting the state share of the budget, with the General Assembly not finished with the budget. However, he said the “best case scenario” would only add $12,000 in state aid. Hampton District representative Bryant Lee suggested the board seek consensus with the Board of Supervisors before including the additional teacher in the budget. Mrs. Massie responded, “What we should do is put in what we think we need for the education of the children. If is cut, we see what will cause the least damage to the educational process.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole said he favored having a teacher for gifted students but wondered about adding that while employees that work with “at risk” students are being cut. “It has been very successful,” he said. “It looke like it is all going away, which is tragic. I’m concerned that we remove one activity and add another.” Dr. Gangel said that some of the personnel hired to serve “at risk” students will be continued, the social worker and another professional employee, but he admitted that some of the services provided under that program will be lost because the federal grant that funded it runs out at the end of September. The board agreed to add the teacher for gifted children to the budget and take a second look at the matter after the General Assembly adjourns. When the board turned from the budget to other matters, Dr. Gangel said that 21 school days had been lost so far this year with the possibil ity of more winter storms. He said that 10 make up days have beer scheduled and that the board had agreed to ask the state for a waivei for five more days. For the other six days, he said the board could consider asking foi an additional waiver from the state or adding to the school day about another one half hour split between the morning and afternoon. He said he would not recommend entending the school year further into June or trying to have school or Saturdays. The board agreed to see what the state would allow for waivers and to take up the issue next month. “Learning Environment Coordinator” Richard Smith reported that radon tests at both schools showed that four classrooms at the high school were higher than the maximum recommended level of four hy pocunes per mer oi air. He said mat a retest confirmed the finding, but none were above 10 hypocuries. Mr. Smith said the board could consider another test or taking remediation. The further test would cost between $400 and $500, he said. Remediation would cost between $2,500 and $3,000. Mr. Smith said that the EPA requires that a notice be sent home. The board agreed to sending the letter, but wanted it to be reworded. "This is going to scare people,” Mrs. Massie said. The tests were performed in closed up classrooms during the weekend. Those conditions maximize radon readings. ►Council From Page 1 quite some time. My mother, father, and grandmother Critzer all served on Washington Town Council. I have attended many meetings in the past ten years and most all meetings for the past three yean. “If elected to town council, ft is my hope to work with the other members in resolving the needs of the town in the coming yean. Longterm needs are parking, traffic safety, sewage disposal, and a safe drinking and fire protection water supply. “I regret Brad Fisher’s decision not to run for treasurer for another term. Brad has done an excellent job. He has benefitted the town recordkeeping, water works management, and council a great deal. He will be missed by all. “I want town residents to feel free to contact me before and after the election to advise on town matters. I am looking forward to being able to serve the community.” VDACS Asks Worker Protection Delay The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) has added its voice to those of other state departments of agriculture and is asking the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to delay implementation of portions of the Federal Worker Protection Standard so that Virginia farmers, nurserymen, and greenhouse operators can be adequately trained and informed about compliance requirements. In a letter from the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, member states asked EPA to provide necessary training to famers and producers. As it stands now, Virginia producers will be required to meet stringent posting, notification, training, and decontamination requirements as of April 15. Yet some of the training and educational materials needed by state pesticide officials prior to the April deadline still have not been provided.

Last spring there was a poll of Culpeper customers, including those with 937 exchange numbers to see if they were willing to pay more to call Warrenton numbers. This proposal did not pass at that time. Although those responding to the poll overwhelmingly supported the expanded calling area, only 45 percent responded. More than 50 percent responses are required for such an expansion. However, this new proposed expansion for Culpeper customers does not require that customers approve, only that significant numbers do not object, Mr. Brown explained. —By SHARON KILPATRICK V » WCDS Honor Roll Announced Wakefield Country Day School announced that the following Rappahannock County residents received honors for their work during the second grading period: first grade second honors, Carter Bruce and Natalie Miller, first honors, Sara Hathaway.

VA, 703-987-8235 Legend has it that, long ago, the dogwood came into bloom on Calvary and that, atterwards, a cross was implanted into the flower itself, to remain for all time. You can see it if you look closely, rust brown against the white of each individual blossom. Many of us carry crosses, faint like the dogwood’s emblem, but with us, nevertheless. Somehow, in this Lenten season, we become particularly conscious of them and of our need for help...a certain kind of help that can be found only through the things we learn in God’s House. The Church doesn’t pretend to banish our cares and woes, but its teachings realistically consider the experiences of life itself. No matter what our personal cross may be, we seem able to bear its burden with more strength. Lent is a wonderful time in which to begin making church a regular part of your life — if you haven’t already.

Brown Jr. of Brown i Ford Tractor Sales, Inc. in Culi peper. Brown Ford sees this as posi{tive news for agriculture in the * Culpeper area. I Back from a record-setting New 1 Holland meeting in London, Brown J said the atmosphere was upbeat reVgarding the future of farm equipment sales, especially Ford New Holland’s participation in that mar, Ket. Those attending the meting heard New Holland Chief Executive > , Officer Riccardo Ruggeri talk of the ; company’s commitment, successes, and future challenges. “Mr. Ruggeri didn’t try to paint a rosy picture for industry. He simply offered a realstic view of how New Holland sees the market stabilizing in North America during the next several years,” Brown said. “I think this is positive news for agriculture since equipment companies tend to base their predictions on factors such as the general economic situation, expected commodity prices, volume of exports and government incentives. In other words, when New Holland, the world’s largest producer of tractors, sees stability in equipment sales, it obviously assumes some degree of stability in agriculture.” For information on New Holland products call Brown Ford Tractor at 825-6510.

No-Salt Seasoning Recipes By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Aftnt, Home Economic* Salt - the traditional seasoning of choice - has been linked to high blood pressure. As a result, many no-salt and low-salt seasoning mixes now are on the market. You can also make them at home using the following recipes. Daily Sodium Intake Health professional recommend a daily sodium intake below 2,400 mg. About one-third of the average daily intake of sodium comes from salt added to food during cooking or at the table. Because one teaspoon of salt has about 2,000 mg sodium, you can substantially reduce your sodium intake by substituting a homemade seasoning mix that uses herbs and spices rather than salt. j Herb Vs Spice What’s the difference? Herbs are leaves of plants and shrubs with nonwoody stems. Spices come from bark, roots, fruit, seeds or flowers of plants. Spices and herbs can be used to enhance the flavor of a fat-or sodium-reduced food. Experiment with small amounts to find an acceptable seasoning level. Powdered herbs are stronger than crumbled, and dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs. If a recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon powdered herb you can use 3/4 to 1 teaspoon crumbled or flaked, or 2 teaspoons fresh herb. Guide To Using Herb & Spices ji When adding herbs and spices, take a tip from professional recipe developers. Start with 1 teaspoon of a mild herb (dried) or spice (such as oregano, basil, cumin, and cinnamon) per six servings. Use only 1/4 teaspoon of a strong herb or spice (such as rosemary, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, mustard, allspice) per six servings. i No-Salt seasoning recipe Because 1 teaspoon of salt has about 2,000 mg sodium, you can substantially reduce your sodium intake by substituting any of these seasonings.

Refrigerate in covered container. Sprinkle as desired over meat, poultry, or fish before broiling or baking. Oriental Spice Sodium: about 1.6 mg per teaspoon 1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon peel i 1/4 teaspoon anise seed, crushed 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger Combine all ingredients.
