School Budget Meets No Serious Opposition 'Safe Haven' Wins Support By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer There was a very light turnout for the Board of Supervisors public hearing on the school budget Monday night. However, it appeared constituents had been contacting their representatives by mail and by phone. The only member of the general public to' address the board was Lee Bini who spoke on behalf of restoring funds for Operation Safe Haven, a program serving “at risk” students. For the past three years the program has been supported by a Federal grant. Without the grant, the position of coordinator was not included in the budget. Mr. Bird said, “It seems to me it would be very prudent for the board to keep that program intact...It’s not a big item for the residents. It's a very big item, though, for the children. If they drop out, as many may do if they’re not given this assistance, it’s likely many will never get their high school equivalency. .. It’s much more prudent to spend a little money to keep children in school so they don’t drop out.” Mr. Bird works with the Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers. He said that they have had several clients try to get the GED, the high school equivalency, but only 10 have sue ceeded. “Without a high school diploma, many jobs aren’t available,” he said. “They are much more likely to request and get county services later on.” Several supervisors said they had heard from their constituents in support of the program. They have been contacted by high school students, they said. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked if there were any statistics to show fewer dropouts with the program. Superintendent David Gangel said he did not have statistics, but he would try to get them. “There are many other things to look at,” he said. “How many things do we find out in time?” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie agreed saying, “Suicide prevention, drugs, teen-aged pregnancies, all these are part of the at risk program.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham asked if guidance counsellors and the school social worker couldn’t provide the services. Dr. Gangel said the social worker position is almost entirely involved with special education. Guidance counsellors have other responsiSee Budget, Page A-8 I Old Rag Bulletins Commissioner of Revenue Office Hours Extended A The Commissioner of Revenue’s Office will have extended hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and i Monday to assist taxpayers with state income tax returns which are due by May 2 or to provide information.

Fodder stack Race Yields Fun Day But No Records No speed records were set at the 16th running of the Fodderstack 10K road race Saturday, but the crowd was as enthusiastic as if they were. A record 187 runners pre-registered. The total registered was 251, with 233 actually participating. Paul Loebach was first overall with a time of 33:52, almost a minute and a half over Steve Pinard’s 1985 record of 32:26. Ken Wolters, last year’s winner in 33 minutes flat, was second at 34:01, and Eldon Mack ran third with a time of 34:16. In the women’s competition Monica Grillo finished first in 39:13, compared to the record 36:46 set by Kim Belyea in 1984. Ms. Grillo was a repeat winner and bettered her time in last year’s victory of 36:46. Jeanne Grillo was second in 43:08 with Kimberly Kruse third in 43:16. The coveted Eva Smith Memorial trophies, presented to the first man and woman who are Rappahannock residents, were won by high school students Jason Waters and Holly Gangel. They also won their 13-18 age divisions. For Jason this was his third consecutive Eva Smith trophy. Each year his time improves. This year he ran in 36:45, eight seconds faster than last year’s 36:56. However, Frank Reynolds from the sidelines insisted that when he won several of these trophies in the 1980s, he ran in under 36 minutes. For Holly Gangel, it was a first victory in her first attempt over the gueling course. Her time of45:48 did not equal Nina Stamer’s time last year of 43:41. In the 13-18 category, Jason was followed by Mike Grimsley second in 36:57 and Mark Jenkins third in 38:05. For the girls in the 13-18 category Sara Morency was second in 60:31 and Nanci Galle gos third in 61:40. In the very popular under 12 category, Adam Rogers won for the boys in 47:44, with Zach Gunter second in 50:37, Nathaniel Link third in 52:57 and Alexander Strange fourth in 54:57. Among the girls Shiloh Proper was first in 52:58, Lily Strange second in 61:44, Magan Fairbrother third in 64:20 and Jenny Waters fourth in 64:27. George Sims pointed out that there were three generations of his family competing Saturday. His mother Grace Sims won the women’s over 60 category, finishing in 89:51. She was apparently the only one entered in her age group. The rest of the family did not win trophies, but Mr. Sims pushed daughter Elaine in a stroller while daughter Emily ran on her own. Mr. Sims reported that he had intended to walk with his mother, but at the start she said, “Don’t feel you have to keep up with me if it hurts.” “That did it,” Mr. Sims reported, and he ran as much as he could finishing comfortably in front of his mother. Another stroller pusher, Heidi Eastham, came in third in the women’s 19-29 age group. A unique “frequent flyer” trophy was presented to Lowell Owsley of Jeffersonton, who has entered all 16 Fodderstack races. Mr. Owsley said the first Rappahannock Fodderstack Race was the first race he entered when he started running. “I like this,” he said. “This is my favorite race.” In the intervening 15 years he has raced in 11 marathons and in shorter races all over Virginia and in Florida and Kansas. “I’m through with marathons,” he reported, “but wherever I am, I try to find a race to run. ” When he is not running, he is a painter. He is hoping to do a one-man show soon.

Gooch To Run As Write-in Candidate By SHARON KILPATRICK IU|i|mhanneck Newa Staff Writer Current Town Council member Ray Gooch decided this past weekend to enter the town election as a write-in candidate for the Town Council. He said he decided to make the race “because of events in the last week. I felt after what happened four years ago, the voters really repudiated that tactic, and here we are again four years later confronted by the same thing,” he said. “I wanted people to remember they didn’t like it then; I don’t think they like it now, but they’ve got to keep saying they don’t like it, or it’s going to happen again,” he said. Mr. Gooch said he realizes “it’s a long shot for somebody to expect to win on a write-in vote.” He continued, “We don’t need these kinds of campaigns. People are volunteering to spend 40 or 60 hours a month on town business...We ought to encourage people not discourage them.” ^a—— ■«— Photo Courtesy of Louise van Doit This fountain is scheduled to be moved to Main and Middle Streets at the corner of the Trinity Church parking lot. ARB Finesses Fountain Debate By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ncw» Staff Writer It took nearly two hours last Thursday night for the town Architectural Review Board members to decide that it was not under their purview to approve or deny an application for a fountain to be installed on Trinity Episcopal Church property at the corner of Middle and Main Streets in Washington. After much discussion, many digressions, rehashes and clashes, a motion was on the floor for a vote. Worded by ARB member Dwight Matthews, the motion was “This application as it has been presented, particularly with the particulars presented by Ms. van Dort with the way it is installed, does not come under the purview of the ARB." Mr. Matthews, and members Ed Barton and Patrick O’Connell voted for the motion; Chairman Donna Kevis voted against it, and member Steve Critzer abstained. Though the decision can be appealed, as it stands now, the fountain can be installed at any time. The fountain will be six feet tall once it is installed. The bottom container is five feet in diameter. At the beginning of the discussion about the fountain, Mr. Barton said that he is a member of Trinity Episcopal Church and its vestry but did not believe that he had a conflict of interest with this application. He consulted an attorney and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke before coming to this decision, he said. ARB member Patrick O’Connell consulted three attorneys, including Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, and also stated that he did not believe he had a conflict of interest with this issue. The fountain is being donated to the church by Mr. O’Connell’s business, The Inn at Little Washington. Ray Gooch, a Town Council member and an attorney, spoke next. He said, “I have a concern with the jurisdiction of the board. I talked with Town Attorney Frank Reynolds. In reading the ordinance (The Historic District Ordinance), specifically Section 4.1, I was concerned as to where an ornamental fountain would fit in. The definition of structure refers the reader back to the definition of building. I am having problems with the ordinance. You do not know when something will apply. Is there jurisdiction for the board to hear the application? If the body does not have jurisdiction, they do not get to hear the case.” ARB Chairman Donna Kevis replied, “I think the ARB has the right to review this because of size and position in the town. It would be a significant enough change in the center of town.” Mr. Gooch continued, “My question is whether there is jurisdiction; whether it can be considered. It is a matter of law. If you do not have jurisdiction, then opinion is not the deciding fartor. The ARB needs to decide if this is a building, fence, structure, parking lot or sign. If you say it is a structure, then you have to live with the definition of structure that is in the ordinance.” Town Council member Newbill Miller spoke next, “I talked to our See ARB, Page A-8

By CINDY MAHAN K^MkMMckNmSUfT Writer In Rappahannock County Circuit Court last week, Gary Wayne Phelps, 37, of Front Royal, pleaded with the judge to be placed in a yearlong treatment program for alcoholism. Mr. Phelps was in court on a charge of driving after having been declared an habitual offender, facing jail time of five years. He admitted that he began drinking at the age of eight. He has been convicted of 19 felonies, including several times as an habitual offender. His first felony conviction was for grand larceny when he was 17. When asked by his attorney Frank Reynolds if he wanted to quit drinking, Mr. Phelps replied, “Definitely. I have wasted too much of my life (over half of it spent in jail) and when I drink I get in trouble. I would like to come back to town here after a program, and Mary Updike said she would give me a room. I would like to work with Mr. Curtis Crawford; he does not drink. I ask for help and they say ‘do time’. I do the time and get out and still have a problem.” According to Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Phelps has been through 28-day rehab programs at Boxwood in Culpeper. He asked probation officer Dean Hahn if he knew of a center in the state which had a longer program. Mr. Hahn said, “There is a 12 to 18 month intensive program at Higera House in Roanoke. It is very structured and clients have to do chores around the house. They have to attend nightly meetings. ” Mr. Reynolds said, “I have never seen such a situation where you can so strongly point to substance abuse as a contributing factor. The way I see it is we are the only chance he’s got. He has said many times that he can handle it, and he cannot. I would ask the court that he not be sent back to jail. I think the only thing we can do for Gary Phelps and society is to find him a program.” Judge W. Shore Robertson said, “Higera House is extremely rigorous and we had a woman drop out of there after one weekend. ” Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said, “When you operate a motor vehicle when drunk, we cannot look only to what is in the best interest of the defendant in this case. He presents a deadly threat to anyone else on the highway. I feel he should receive the maximum of five years, but I am all for him going through this program.” Mr. Phelps said, “I feel bad about these charges and it is because of the drinking problem.

I would like to go into the program.” Judge Robertson sentenced Mr. Phelps to five years and the cost of the prosecution. Mr. Phelps will be evaluated for a treatment program for alcohol abuse, though it is up to Higera House if they accept Mr. Phelps into their program. Judge Robertson told him, “You have many good attributes but alcohol has been your undoing. This court does have an obligation to protect society. This will be your last shot. You have one of the most difficult drinking problems I have seen in this courtroom. I do not want you to be a hazard to yourself and other people.” / Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke withdrew from his plea agreement with James Franklin Butler, 33, of Culpeper, and asked the court to set the matter for trial. Mr. Butler had been previously charged with receiving stolen property belonging to David and Helen Smith. The plea agreement which he had entered into with the Commonwealth reduced the original felony charge to a misdemeanor. As a stipulation of the plea agreement, however, the Commonwealth had the right to withdraw if Mr. Butler was arrested for anything during the , time period between the plea i agreement and his sentencing. Mr. Butler has been arrested twice since the plea agreement was entered into on Dec. 2, 1993. The original felony charge is reinstated, and the case has been continued to May 5. Theodore Roosevelt Bailey, Jr., 39, of Alexandria, pleaded guilty to grand larceny, though still maintained his innocence. Mr. Bailey was charged with stealing personal property belonging to James Kelly of Sperryville in May, 1993. Mr. Bailey asked the court to impose sentence on this date instead of setting another date for the usual pre-sentence investigation report required before sentencing. He is presently incarcerated for another crime and is doing paralegal studies in prison. Judge Robertson said, “The imposition of sentence in a criminal case is one of the most demanding things I do. I feel I must review what I can for anyone before the court for sentencing. I think it would be unfair for the court to blindly sentence. You deserve the finest consideration I can give you. I direct a PSI report be prepared. Mr. Bailey will return to court on June 16 for delivery of a PSI report and sentencing. j Destruction Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Fire gutted Tom Von Fange’s woodworking shop off Route 231 early Sunday morning. ■ ' !

I Water Line Break | Causes Problems i (Conservation Requested • By SHARON KILPATRICK • Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer • There was a serious break in a ! main line of the Town of Washington water system Monday night, Mayor Dean Morehouse reported. ; He said the break was in a main line coming down Piedmont Avenue. The break had nothing to do with the ; work being done by Rappawan to ' upgrade the system, Mayor More, house said, but the company jumped < on the problem and worked long ! hours in the middle of the night to make repairs. “It wasn’t their re; sponsibility. It wasn’t in their con; tract,” he said, expressing gratitude for Rappawan’s help. The break occurred about 1 a.m. Tuesday morning and it was somewhat after noon Tuesday before sendee was fully restored, he said. : The break came in a six-inch main line that was not scheduled for replacement. Mayor Morehouse said before construction work began the line was inspected in several places and those places looked fine, he said. However, the line is 50 years old " and very rusted where it broke, he 'said. As a result of Monday night’s •break, Mayor Morehouse said he had 'decided that houses and businesses that were to remain hooked to the old line will instead be hooked up to the new line, and the old line will remain in use only to assist in fighting fires. In another water system matter, Mayor Morehouse said, “I am asking everybody for the next 10 days to restrict their water use.” He said Rappawan is in the process of replacing the old line from the well lot to the town resevoir. While that is going on water is being supplied fr-om a temporary tank with much less capacity than the resevoir. Mayor Morehouse said he is asking people to conserve water from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. From 6-10 a.m. and from 5-10 p.m. town residents can have full use of their water. "We are asking people not to water their lawns during these times,” he said. “If possible we would like them to switch their dishwashing, clothes washing and bathing to periods of full use.” Mayor Morehouse said he would like to thank the Sheriff’s Department for their assistance with many telephone calls Monday night. Town residents may call Louise van Dort at 675-3188 about water problems when Treasurer Brad Fisher is not home, he said. The Burke Family arranged for Treese Nursery of Warrenton to plant this variegated sweet gum tree at the park. Burke Family Donates Tree By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Ashton Burke of Warrenton joined by his brothers and sisters, Cletus Burke of Front Royal, Jennings Burke of Woodbridge, Pauline Suk of Pennsylvania, and Hilda Metzger of Lorton, donated a tree to the Rappahannock County Park in memory of their mother and father Charles and Mary Ellen Burke. Mr. Burke said they decided to donate the tree because their par ente, starting in the mid to late 1970b, used the pavilion at the county park for family reunions. They have continued the tradition for nearly 20 years. They have the reunion the fourth Sunday in May and can expect between 40 and 50 people.

Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend against a special exception for a boundary adjustment that would , hlave increased the number of noncohforming lots. ' Gary Meyer had reqested permission to change the boundary between two lots he and his wife own hear Castleton. The larger of the two lots, both in an agriculture zone, - would have been increased to nearly -10 acres, while the smaller would have been decreased to under two acres, the minimum lot size. In 1990 County Administrator John McCarthy approved a boundary adjustment for Mr. Meyer that switched about one acre from another lot belonging to Mr. Meyer’s mother-in-law to the current smaller lot. Now Mr. Meyer wished to add that acre to his larger lot. The change would not have affected the density allowed, since all three lots are in an area zoned for 25acre density. , » uuiiic puuuici o occmcu uivuiicu to go along since density would not be affected, but Chairman Mike M$ssie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the Planning Com'mission, said that the zoning ordinance requirements on minimum lot size are in a separate section from '’the ones on density. • Before Mr. McCarthy approved the 1990 boundary adjustment there Were two conforming lots and one non-conforming lot. If the current boundary adjustment were approved there would be one conforming lot and two non-conforming ones, Effective May 1,1994 I will be closing my shop and no longer doing repairs big or small.

Although these are all lots that existed before the zoning ordinance was enacted, there is a reason the ordinance requires a minimum of two acres, he said. “You may think you don’t want two acres,” he said, “but if the septic goes bad or the well goes bad, you may need all of those two acres. Where would you draw a line?” he asked his fellow planners. “Once you get below two acres, how low do you go?” He noted that Mr. Meyer could get more land for his larger lot and still have two acres in the smaller lot if he were willing to give up some road frontage on the larger lot. At this point Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser joined in support of Mr. Massie’s position. “What difference is it how much road frontage you’ve got?” he asked. “You’re not going to build along the road.” “It’s the principal,” Mr. Meyer said. “That’s our problem,” Mr. Massie said. . v Hampton District representative Brooke Miller made the motion to recommend that the supervisors deny the application. It passed unanimously. The planners agreed to begin the first of the area plans for villages with Ami8sville. “My preference is to start with Amissville,” Mr. Massie said. “If we can do Amissville, we can do anything.” He said the study would start with a member of the Planning Commission and three or four people from Amissville. He said his eventual goal is to include boundaries for the village areas for all the villages. Mr. McCarthy said spelling out boundaries would define the service areas for eventual public water and sewer. He suggested the planners involve an engineer as a consultant in planning. David Fannon, who represents the Amissville area on the Planning Commission, said that there are still many areas zoned R-2 and R-5 near Amissville that have not been built on.

It has certainly reinforced my commitment, in whatever measure I am able, to repay the kindness and community spirit that has made living in the Town of Washington my first real home in this country. I offered by candidacy for Treasurer of the Town of Washington in the spirit of public service, citing my experience as a long time volunteer worker in Town Government. Despite the events of this past week, my resolve to serve and belief in the democratic process — as the voice of all the people — remains unshaken.

To do so, however, a voter must not only write in the name but draw a box to the left of the name and put a check mark or X in the box. available) WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27,1994 Town Council Vote Furthermore, although voters are allowed to vote for five at-large members of the council, they are not required to do so. They may vote for one, two, three, four or five. In the heat of a political campaign people all to frequently demonize the other side in the debate. They see their side as composed of omniscient beings concerned for the welfare of all, while the other side is composed of vicious power-hungry tyrants out to promote the interests of a small clique. This is, of course, errant nonsense. Office seekers, like everyone else, are simply fallible human beings. Regardless of the results after the votes are tallied Tuesday night, the sun will come up Wednesday morning. The town will still need to do something about inadequate sewer facilities, a problem that extends far beyond the west side of Main Street from the Post Office to the Foster-Harris House. It will still be necessary to ballance the needs and wishes of The Inn and other businesses in town with the needs and wishes of the residents. Decisions about the future of Trinity Episcopal Church will continue to rest with members of the congregation, not the Town Council. It will also be necessary to plan intelligently to accommodate population growth. If growth is not encouraged in and around the villages and Town, it will swallow up most of the agricultural and forest land in the county in large-lot subdivisions. The charm of the villages and beauty of the countryside will all be lost. Fodderstack Race The organizers of the 16th Annual Fodderstack 10K Race are to be congratulated on an outstanding job. Of course, wonderful weather should get credit too, but all in all it was a roaring success. A record number of runners preregistered for the race, bringing in funds to help maintain the county park.

I consider the Treasurer’s position within the town’s government key to a successful Council. Therefore, I endorse Louise van Dort for the next Treasurer of the Town of Washington. Of the two candidates, only Louise has demonstrated both the necessary qualifications and the genuine interest to make this position work. Louise has spent many years volunteering time, energy, and expertise to town boards and commissions, the town administration, town sponsored functions, and town residents. During the past sixteen years as the Treasurer of the Town of Washington I have seen the town budget expand over one thousand percent, changing not only in quantity, but also complexity. As a result of this drastic change the entire Town Council took a quantum leap into the twenty-first century. No longer can the needs of the town be accommodated in a couple of Saturday afternoons and a one hour meeting every second Wednesday of the month. No longer can the town’s finances be managed on a single piece of ledger paper and filed in a shoe box. And no longer can a treasurer be chosen without qualification. Now it is essential to provide the town with a person that is not just willing to serve, but also qualified to serve. Today’s treasurer not only has to be able to understand and use governmental accepted accounting practices, understand the governmental audit process, understand and produce required monthly, quarterly, and annual federal and state reports, understand and control the budget process, and the many other functions of the position, but in the Town of Washington, the Treasurer is by default the Town Manager, Town Administrator, and water Authority Director and Superintendent. AJ1 of these require a knowledge of the inner workings of the town, which Louise has acquired through her association with and involvement in town government. I applaud her candidacy and encourage all town residents to vote for Louise van Dort for Treasurer. BRAD FISHER Washington Morehouse Supported To the Editor There is a lot more to serving on Town Council than sleeping in Town and showing up for monthly meetings. Dean Morehouse, who is completing his second, four-year term on Council as Mayor of Washington and is a candidate for re-election, has served the Town as well or better than any Mayor we have had in recent memory. Certainly, in terms of “bringing home the bacon”- to the tune of almost three quarters of a million dollars in Federal grant t funds and low-interest loans for the Town’s water system-tie is the undisputed champ. Going back almost eight yearsat a time when the naysayers around Town (who could turn on their faucets and get water) were saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”-Mayor Morehouse set as a goal the replacement of the 1930’s water distribution system for the Town to stop the loss from leaks of about 100,000 gallons a month of the water produced for the Town. Today, as the new system comes on line, those losses have increase to about 300,000 gallons per month. When he was not racking up frequent flier miles attending to family obligations after his wife’s decision to move away from Washington (and he did not) or to keeping his own development business solvent in the face of the recessionary pressures of the economy, Dean was spending countless hours in the planning, development, funding and construction of the new water distribution system for the Town and its first ever water treatment facility. Working with Town Treasurer and Water Authoriety Chairman Brad Fisher, Dean relentlessly twisted arms in the legislative halls and executive agencies of Richmond and the other Washington, and, against all odds for one of the smallest incorporated towns in the Commonwealth to receive government funding for a municipal project, he made the new water system a reality. I once asked the Mayor if it bothered him that no one made any big deal over his accomplishment or thanked him for all his work on the new water system. His response was typical of the man. “Why should they thank me for doing the job I was elected to do?” The Town is now faced with the very real need to plan for a public sewer system. If we have a whisker of a hope in funding even the study of a Town system, much less finding the money to plan and build it without serious financial hardship to Town residents, I believe our best hope lies with Dean Morehouse. He has proved his mettle and delivered for the town. That’s good enough to get my support and my vote. I urge the re-election of Dean Morehouse to a third term as Mayor of the Town of Washington. He’s got another job to do for the town. RAY GOOCH Washington Lien Discussed To the Editor. The year (1963) that I first became active in local government the late Joe D. Keyser told me “politics is a S.O.B.” This year I finally realized what he was saying. Your article last week to “Explain the Tax Lien” was not a fair explaination as it presented only one side of the lien issue. If your article was completely correct the issue should be the unfairness of the Courts and IRS, not several copies of a thruthful document given to town residents anomyously. The “Tax Lien” is recorded in the Rappahannock County Clerk’s Office and is a matter of public record which anyone has a right to see. The several anonymous town I residents hardly constitutes a disgraceful act or mud slinging as suggested by your Editoral. The “anonymous copies” were accurate and true. The distribution of anonymous copies of the “Tax Lien” has been blamed on my wife and me. This is absolutely a “disgraceful mud-slinging lie.” I have always been open and straight forward on the issues of local government. An existing ‘Tax Lien” of over $61,000 for the Tax period that ended 3-31-93 on a candidate for public office is a legitimate issue in any election. This is over ten years ago. When a copy of the “Tax Lien” was shown to me I went to the clerk’s office and openly asked if there was any evidence that the ‘Tax Lien” had been released. The answer was no. I also found out the kind of tax that was delinquent. Yes, I have discussed the ‘Tax Lien” with a number of people. My remarks have been accurate and truthful. This is a bona fide election issue for Town Treasurer and the people have a right to know. This issue and other reasons made me decide to vote for Tom Zumwalt for Treasurer of Washington. NEWBILL MILLER Washington Van Dort Supported To the Editor: I am writing to you as a member of the Washington Town Council, and newly elected chairperson of the Town of Washington Planning Commission. I have been involved in town government for almost eight years, and for most of that time, I have served alongside Ms. Louise van Dort of the Planning Commission and on various volunteer committees. I know of no other person in this town who has been more active on behalf of everyone who lives here. As chairperson of the Planning Commission, she engineered the redrafting of every single town ordinance in the past four years. She single-handedly, and without remuneration, spent hours at her computer typing and retyping every draft and redraft of each ordinance. She made sure that every council member and every planning commissioner had copies of all necessary documents before our meetings, and made for each of us binders containing all the newly revised and adopted ordinances. Bis. van Dort has been chairperson of the Town Celebrations Committee, which has been responsible for our Fourth of July and Colonial Christmas events. Not only did she oversee the planning of these festivities; she climbed up ladders and decorated the Town Hall for Christmas; she cut down the Christmas tree and trimmed it herself; she ordered and distributed the greens for town residents and businesses, and generally got everyone working together. For the Fourth of July, she orders the fireworks, acts as a liaison between the WVFD, merchants, crafts people, and fundraising organizations, and she is also out at dawn roping off the parking lots, making signs, and any other job that needs to be done. She was largely responsible for organizing the renovation of the Town Hall, thereby preserving an important landmark in this town and giving us all a new place to gathejfor meetings and community evented Ms. van Dort organized the effort to re-configure the comer 'of Main Street and Middle Street, reclaiming land for the church parking lot, adding a necessary stop sign, and slowing down traffic in the center of town. This has contributed to the safety of all of us. Behind the scenes, Louise has been there to make sure that an elderly resident’s driveway is plowed after a snowstorm, a job is found for someone down on their luck, oa homeowner’s street light bulb is replaced. She knows the right persjon to call in every situation, and she always gets the job done quickly anfl efficiently. . * • She has attended every meeting of the Town Council and Planning Commission, as well as many meetings of the ARB. She has demortstrated her dedication and integrity in all her activites, and has contributed her formidable organizational skills and follow through to every project she has been involved with, including her volunteer position as town administrative assistant. • v There is not enough space avdiiable to list the community service organizations that Ms. van Dort i $3 involved in. Suffice it to say that there are many groups in this county who depend on her willingness to be involved, and who have reason [to thank her for her service to them. •' For all these reasons, I heartily endorse the candidacy of Louise vfcn Dort for Treasurer of the Town -of Washington. I urge all of you who have witnessed her commitment to volunteer service to vote for her oji May 3. SUSAN M. PARRISH Washington Clinton Supported To the Editor: • I For over a year, President Clkiton’s critics have been complaining about his “tax bill,” implying and sometimes claiming that his 1903 budget reduction bill included income tax raises for just about everyone. We have just had the moi$ direct possible proof that this is arfotherbiglie. When April 15 rolled around, about 32,400 Virginians found their personal income tax rates increased, while almost 2.5 million Virginia taxpayers had either a cut or no change in their income tax rates. No manned couple had their tax rate increased unless they made more thah about $180,000 in 1993. If this seems' to the Republicans to be “just about everyone,” it is because that 1.2 percent of the population is all they ever try to serve. ! J Working Virginians with becomes below $23,050 and at least ope child in the family had their incomfe taxes reduced. Many thousands iof these got refunds that were bigger than the tax that had been withhek^ This is an example of Clinton’s determination to serve those Americans who work hard and play by thfc rules. • AUGUSTUS C.

'Cook': The Obscuring Art . By JAMES J. KILPATRICK UnfrcnalPna A letter is at hand from a gentlelnan in Seattle. He encloses a document (I do not know how otherwise to describe it) given to him by a friend. It purports to be an outline of a program of employee training. He solemnly swears he did not make it up. The document begins by explaining that the program’s “process architecture is decomposed into three tiers.” The tiers are “macro processes, sub processes, and working level processes.” The document goes mi to explain that “Sponsors will be assigned at the macro process level only but will represent all decomposed processes within the macro process.” - My correspondent said that neither he nor Ms friend had the foggiest notion of what the document meant to say. They believed it was written in the English language, though they confessed uncertainty. Could I provide a translation? No. The document was not written in English. It was written in Gook, wMch is short for Gobbledegook, an alien tongue first identified, I believe, by Rep. Maury Maverick of Texas about 1944. The language purports to be English, hut in fact it is something else entirely—not a dialect, not a form of ethnic or regional speech, but a kind of speech that is divorced from meaning. > In this regard, the document folly meets the requirements laid down by the philosopher Calvin. This is not the theolgian John Calvin (1509-1564). It is the Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes, the precocious cMld who discerned some months ago that “the first purpose of language is to obscure meaning.” This was clearly the purpose of those who wrote of the decomposed processes within the macro process of process architecture. Yes. I, Gook is widely spoken, though it is seldom understood. A letter has dortie to hand from the executive director of the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center at Columbia Universtity in New York. It begins: “A spirit of connectedness linkihg continuing work with pertinent new initiatives was a distinguishing characteristic of The Freedom Forum Media Studies Center in 1992.” The letter further informs us that the center maintained a full docket of conferences, meetings and seminars on key media topics. There was a “continuing exploration of the meaning of convergence in the Technology Studies Program.” The center took up the Fairness Factor, “a multifaceted look at the ideals and practicalities of this elusive but vital organizing concept for media-public discourse.” Aaargh! Pardon me. A gentleman in Oregon sent me the text of a sign posted at the Cargill Grain Elevator in Portland. The sign defines the absolutes of quality managements: “(1) Quality has to be defined as conformance to requirements, not as goodness. (2) The system for causing quality is prevention, not appraisal.” Exactly so. Fie on goodness, fie! Fie! This was the lucid information given by an unidentified employer seeking to assist his employees: “People who receive income from self-employment in a year after they first become entitled to benefits may exclude all or any part of this income that is not related to services they performed after they were entitled to benefits.” Thank you, sir. Many persons in the art world speak fluent Gook. The catalog for a biennial show at the Whitney Mu sewn a year ago was a model of obscure clarity: “What impresses itself upon us is the fact of finitude’s excessive nature, not only becuase of the inappropriability of its meaning but, as the experience of sheer exposition, because of the way it refuses to disclose itself fully.” Or even partly. Educators speak their own dialectical Gook. The Ohio Department of Education issued a guideline for teachers of writing: “Assessment should tap the correctedness of concepts and the student’s ability to access interrelated chunks of information. Student understanding should be demonstrably integrated and structured.” Mind you, that was from a manuel on clear writing. To be sure, every business and profession has its own jargon. Teenagers and bank robbers speak in an argot that they alone can comprehend. Gobbledegook, I am suggesting, is something else. It is the equivalent of the process (the process!) by which the defensive squid squirts its inky goo. Peering through their own murk, squid writers dimly perceive their intended meaning. Ordinary readers cannot perceive much of anything at all.

:Softball Team Wins Three More By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer The girls’ softball team gained three more victories and suffered one defeat in the past week. On Tuesday they bested Central at home 16 to 6. Coach Renee Leake reported that Marsha Freeman, Leah Marlett and Cari Kerr were the heavy hitters in the game. Marsha went four for four; Leah was four for five including a home run, and Cari was three for five. “Amy Payne struck out four while allowing only four walks,” Coach Leake said. “She had a good game also, and Bonnie Jewell at first base had five put outs on her own.” On Wednesday the team played Luray at home and won 25 to 1 in five innings. “Every member played and contributed to the win,” Coach Leake said. “Amy allowed only one hit. Shamita Fletcher came in and pitched two innings and gave up only two hits. We had 20 total hits. Everyone on the team got a hit in that game.” On Friday the team traveled to Strasburg and lost 9 to 18. “Until the fourth inning, it was 3 to 4,” Coach Leake said. “We had five errors in one inning. Cari Kerr went four for four and scored four runs. Laura McNear was three for four, and those were really all the bright spots,” she added. Monday the team met Central again in an away game and won 12 to 4. “It was an excellent hitting game for us, a much better defensive game than Friday,” Coach Leake said. “We had only three errors. Amy allowed only four hits and walked only four. Leah Marlett as the designated hitter went three for four. Deitrich Beaver was two for four, and Janet Hitt had a, triple that knocked in three runs.” The team has a 7 and 5 overall record, 5 and 5 in the district and is tied for fourth in the district. Only the top four teams from the Bull Run District will qualify for the tournament, but Coach Leake feels her team’s chances are excellent. “This is the best all around team I’ve ever coached,” she said. “They have a positive attitude and work hard. We’ve improved so much since the beginning of the season. ” The Rappahannock baseball team continues to struggle. In last Tuesday’s home game against Central they lost 3 to 15. “John Digges started and pitched three pretty good innings,” Coach Bob Howard said. “Errors hurt us in that game. Of the 15 runs, 7 were earned. Jeff Atkins and Willie Eastham also pitched well in that game. Offensively the star of the game was James Eastham, who had two hits and stole two bases. Luke Zindel was one of three with a double. He also stole a base and scored a run and had one RBI.” On Friday at an away game with Strasburg the team lost 3 to 9, “but that was probably our best game of the season,” Coach Howard said. “J.C. Welch and Luke Zindel pitched, and they both did a good job. Offensively Jeff Atkins had one hit, two walks and scored two runs. Jason Brown had two hits also.” Monday night the team lost at Central 2 to 30. “This was probably our worst game of the season,” Coach Howard said. “We made 17 errors.” On a positive note James Eastham went two for three with two RBI’s, he said. After a very strong start the soccer team is struggling also. Last Tuesday in a home game they played to a 2 to 2 tie with Central. They lost 0 to 4 in an away game with Quantico, and then lost at home Mondlay night 1 to 3 in a game against Brentsville. “The problem of the bench is coming out,” Coach Uli Maeyer said. “I have almost no substitutes.” He . noted that all three teams they played in the past week were able to substitute frequently so they always had fresh players on the field. The problem may become much more serious. Star scorer Carlos Avelar came out of the game Monday in the first half with a knee injury. He may be out for the season. "Today when Carlos was hurt, I knew we were in for a rough time,” Coach Maeyer said after Monday’s game. “Our game lived from feeding him from midfield.” He said he was pleased with the way his players picked up the pace in the second half. "They were trying to play ball; they had their chances,” he said. “It’s like trying to play two teams, I’m missing the depth.” Although the boys’ and girls’ track teams came in third in a threeway meet with Central and Brentsville at Central, individuals continued to have success. Holly Gangel came in first in the 3,200-meter run and second in the 1,600-meter run. She was also fourth in the high jump. Among the other girls Dawn Havstad was fourth in the discus; Tomeka Carey was fourth in the long jump and tied for fourth in the 100-meter dash. Jessica Jacobs was fourth in the shot put, and Amber Early was fourth in the 300-meter hurdles. For the boys’ team, the 4 by 100 relay team of Jason Carter, Willie Shanks, Andy Clanigan and Carlos Avelar ran second. Willie Shanks was also fourth in the long jump, and Carlos was also second in the shot put. In the distance races Mark Jenkins was fourth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 4:58, the first time he has broken five minutes for that distance. Jason Waters ran third in the 3,200-meter run and Mike Grimsley ran fourth. Youth Baseball Season Starts !

I spoke with John McCarthy too. We tried to figure out which way to go. There is some awkward definitional language in here. We think the fountain could be ruled a structure. A structure does not definitely have to be a building. We should change it to make it clearer. It looks as if all buildings are structures but not all structures are buildings. Mr. McCarthy and I are in agreement that you could find a fountain to be a structure. In Section 5.2 of the ordinance are listed the matters you consider when someone asks for approval. 1 asked Mr. McCarthy if it wouiu oe consiuerea since n was non-fixed. Because it is in town, it should be considered by the ARB.” Town resident Diane Bruce spoke next, “I know you have to consider counsel’s advice but I want to respectively disagree. I do not think it can be a structure or building. If it can be, how far can an ordinance go? What if I want to park my pickup in my yard? Or hang clothes out on a line? Or put a swing set in the yard? I do not think this has to do with a garden ornament which I think it is. Mrs. Kevis responded, “I think of a garden ornament as more like a little frog or a small birdbath.” Mr. O’Connell spoke next, “The most important thing for me is that any property owner could put this up and not have to consult the ARB. I do not think anything would have been said. If the ARB votes against this it is creating a precedent. There are a number of properties which are as focal. I think the ARB has come a long way but it has distinctly altered the perspective of what it is here for. It is here to protect the town from something atrocious or heinous. Mr. Reynolds addressed the ARB members, “Your purpose is to interpret the ordinance the best you can. Is this structure something you want to deal with or not? If so, then decide if you will approve it You have to determine if this is a structure.” Mr. Barton said, "We are bound by what the ordinance says.” Mrs. Kevis added, “I think it is a structure because it is constructed and because of the size.” Mr. Matthews said, “Maybe we need more details on this to see if this is a permanent structure.” Ms. van Dort said, “It is not connected to the water system. It can be removed. If the church moves they can take it with them. It does not have a foundation.” Mrs. Kevis asked, “Who will take ownership of it?" Ms. van Dort answered, “The church would own it but The Inn would keep it in good working order and make a donation of plantings around it.” Mr. Reynolds said, “The applicant is not the only one who can appeal the decision. Any aggrieved party can appeal.” Newbill Miller asked, “What does the fountain weigh?” xos. van l^urx saia sne aia noi know, but added, “It can be delivered on a small pickup truck.” Mr. Miller responded, “I think it is a structure.” Fran Eldred said, “My concern here is how far you go with this. Suppose I want to put in a fountain that is five and a half feet tall? What if I want to put in a big play set for my grandchildren? I want a definition of what you determine is a structure.” “So do we,” responded Mrs. Kevis. Mr. Matthews said, “We only have to decide if this application is a structure.” Mr. Eldred said, “To me, for a fountain to be structural it would require some sort of masonry foundation.” Mrs. Kevis said, “It is church property but is called the town square. It is private property. By usage it is a public area.” Mike Mahoney, a member of the vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church, responded to this, “It was said the church would be liable. Since you are calling it town property, then would the town be liable?” Mr. Miller spoke up, “The horse is dead. We have beat it to death. I, think we ought to entrust it to you all.” Mrs. Kevis asked, MIf it comes under our jurisdiction what do we call it?” Mr. Matthews answered, “We are voting about this particular item.” t Mrs. Kevis asked, “Are we going to concern ourselves with this?” Mr. Matthews then made his motion. Mr. Barton seconded the motion. Before voting on the motion, ARB member Steve Critzer spoke next about the possibility of Mr. Barton and Mr. O’Connell having conflicts of interest. He said, “One is a vestry and one is buying it and they are voting on it. I think it will substantially affect that corner.” Mr. O’Connell responded, “I certainly would not participate in the voting unless I was advised I could do so. Mr. Reynolds added, The question is an individual decision. It is not up to the ARB. It is for that person and they take some risk in doing so. They both talked to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for his opinion and they can rely on it. This is the law on conflicts. ” Mr. O’Connell continued, “I spoke with Mr. Luke yesterday and he assured me there was no gray area as long as I was not in the position of receiving funding or gifts from the church. I do think that I am capable of making a reasonable decision on the issue before us. I understand the vestry of the church had several meetings and they voted seven to one that they wanted the fountain.” Mrs. Kevis said, “I think it needs to be addressed because of its size. I think it is a very nice fountain. ” Mr. Matthews continued, “I am not sure it is within the ARB’s purview to be involved in everything of visual significance.” Mr. O’Connell spoke next, “I think we have made an issue of it. It has already been given more discussion than any other item that has come before us. If it was obviously detrimental, it would not have gone this far.” After more than two hours the vote was finally taken and the meeting was adjourned. Earlier the ARB approved the yellow paint color for the new Rush River Company building. Mrs. Kevis represented Mary Simmons the applicant, who was not present at the meeting. ►Race e From Page A-1 wife Betty, whom he describes as his trainer, is also an artist.

Mr. Massie asked if the county would pay off the debt to the state retirement system for former school system employees who took early retirement. County Administrator John McCarthy said he thought the accountant would advise that could be done. If that is done out of the general fund surplus, it would reduce the proposed school budget by most of the money needed to pick up the “at risk” position, he said.

County Horsewoman Finds New Career As Artist By FRANCES BISHOPP * Rappahannock News Staff Writer Southern women are known for their beauty, charm and genteel ways and Rappahannock County resident, Sandra Massie Forbush, Southern bom and bred, is no exception. Southern women are also known as tough — “steel magnolias” who survive life’s ups and downs with remarkable resilience. Once again Sandra Massie Forbush is no exception. On a rainy fourth of July in 1989, Mrs. Forbush and her husband, Gus, were traveling down Route 522 near Massie’s Corner on their way to dinner when another vehicle spun out of control on the wet road and hit their car head on. Mr. Forbush, protected by an airbag, was remarkably unscathed by the impact. Mrs. Forbush, although she had her seatbelt on, was not so lucky. A broken back, broken ribs and fractured neck sent her ultimately to Johns Hopkins, where she endured numerous operations. At first, foot-long steel rods were screwed into her spine in an effort to reconstruct her back. Later when the pain from the rods became unbearable, they were removed and five of her vertebrae were fused together. Months of physical therapy and constant unbearable pain often made her wonder if she would survive the ordeal. In a split second everything in her life had changed dramatically. An avid horsewoman who had had great success breeding mares and sales yearlings and a rider who loved to show side saddle, Mrs. Forbush not only had to reconstruct herself physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. “I am a very active person,” said Mrs. Forbush. “I love to work and see results and suddenly everything Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Scott Farrell An accident forced Sandra Massie Forbush to find a new career. She has chosen arts ■ ■ X ■ American Artist, Todd Siler, To Be Featured At Gallery Saturday This Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. American artist Todd Siler will be at The Middle St. Gallery for a special one-day exhibition of works. Siler will speak at 4 p.m. and will open the floor to discussion. Todd Siler’s works of art reside in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modem Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, For more than fifteen years, Todd Siler has used his combined experience in the arts and sciences tc explore the nature of the human mind, thought processes, and physical reality. He calls his work artscience, art that integrates science in its expresssions and interpretations. At the heart of Mr. Siler’s artscience work is the process of “meta phorming,” a way of connecting and transforming images, ideas, information, and experience. In a “metaphorming scenario” one learns, for example, that the energy generating an idea is directly connected to energy triggering an explosion. Such images create instant recognition in Mr. Siler’s art, which ranges from relatively small wall pieces to warehouse-size framed work, and portfolio showings. Mr. Siler was the first visual artist to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Psychology and Art (1986). The public is invited to meet this extraordinary artist for this one-day event at Middle St. Gallery. For information call 937-3638.

We had to get rid of the horses, and just about everything I had been doing for most of my life disappeared.” Everything but her determination. A love of art which dated back to her childhood resurfaced during those dark days. Early sketches done while she was still bedridden were the beginnings of a new life as a professional artist — a life she has embraced with great passion and,' remarkably, not a hint of self pity, bitterness or the “why me” factor. “I am so thankful I have this to do,” said Mrs. Forbush. “I have a new life now which I love and I take it very seriously.” And judging from her success, so do many others. She had developed a keen eye for confirmation of the horse based on years of breeding and raising yearlings for the select sales. She drew from that knowledge to paint horses, a body of work which soon began to attract numerous commissions. One of her first successes was a portrait of her own horse, “Miss Josh,” champion turf mare and a nominee for the 1991 Eclipse Award. Classes at the Corcoran in Washington, D.C. and workshops at Northern Virginia Community College further developed her natural skills. She began to do portraits, both of animals and people, and moved from pastels to oils. Her work has been shown at the Sporting Gallery in Middleburg, the Berresford Gallery in Saratoga, N.Y., the American Academy of Equine Art and the Museum of The Hound and Hunting Show at Morven Park. For two years in a row, her paintings have been chosen for the cover of the Upperville Colt and Horse Show program and her sketches used for the show hats and T-shirts.

Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick The WCDS pre-kindergarten class created this beach scene collage for the school's art show. She is currently working on a large p&nting for a Middleburg man who saw her work and immediately commissioned her to do something for his home. The result is an actionpacked depiction of horses coming around the top of the stretch — a painting that is full of vibrant detail and vivid color. Her joy in her work and her love of her subjects, particularly the animals and children, have been the keys to her survival and her success. She is a keen observer of the smallest detail, which she is then able to transfer to the canvas. Those details are often subtle and unspoken — a shade of sadness in the eye, a wash of nobility in a tired and aging face, a feeling of power and motion emanating from a horse that is standing still. Her works runs the gamut. From straightforward dog and equine oils to far more impressionistic and lightfilled canvases, she often captures something very real, and thus revealing, about her subject. “I am seeing everything differently now,” said Mrs. Forbush. “I go for a walk and everything is beautiful to me. There is still so much I want to do.” 1 “Doing” appears to be the operative word in her life. Bom and raised on a farm in Maryland, she attended the Maryland Institute of Art, majoring in fashion illustration. She decided to pursue a modeling career which took off immediately and for 10 years she did runway, photography and television modeling in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Md. and New York City. Eventually she added television commercials to her resume as well as numerous spreads in both newspa pers and magazines. Because of her ultra-slim figure, at one point, she was chosen to model Audrey Hepbum’s costumes from the famous musical “My Fair Lady” (very tight in the neck, Mrs. Forbush reported). Her first marriage to Wade Massie brought her to Rappahannock County in 1966. It also brought her four stepchildren, eventually her own daughter, now 25, and the horses, which quickly became her passion and her business. In her view, the different careers and interests are all connected, one laying the groundwork for the next. “I couldn’t paint horses and animals so well if I hadn’t been around them so much,” she pointed out. “Attention to makeup application, which was part of my modeling years, made it possible for me to understand the structure of eyes and expressions.” These days, while her husband, who is a Warrenton business owner, is at work, Mrs. Forbush can be found tucked away in her second story studio working diligently at her art. Accompanied by her elderly Jack Russell, Molly, she lives a different life from the rough and tumble days of horse breeding, but it is a life she has embraced with just as much enthusiasm. “I feel so lucky,” she said, sitting amidst a sea of hound paintings slated for the Museum of Hound and Hunting Show on May 28. “I never get lonely up here, in fact, time seems to fly by.” This positive outlook is reflected in her paintings over and over again. Engaging and lively, Mrs. Forbush’s work, like the artist herself, has only just begun.

Library Program To Showcase Hawkins Family of Builders By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Anyone who loves to live in Rappahannock County will want to hear the wonderful story of Mordecai Hawkins and his seven sturdy sons. You will marvel at the miracle that brought all seven safely home from the savage years of the Civil War. It is a truly inspiring story of uncommon human courage to face great challenges and the spirit and strength of character required to overcome great obstacles. It is also a timely story for today that reveals true family values and what difference a few good men can made when they dedicate their brains and brawn to accomplish important work in a community. Scott McBride is a relative newcomer to the area, but he is no stranger to Rappahannock history. Three years ago he left the “Big Apple” to live where the apples are actually grown and work at carpentry, but when he bought his home in Sperryville he was also motivated to become a writer of history. This change was due to the fact that in the 1940s a man called Charlie Hawkins had remodeled the house that McBride bought. That was the spark that ignited an ever-expanding research study, the collection of scores of old photographs and taped interviews with well-known local families. All of this has now grown into a series of magazine articles and perhaps the basis for a book, a chronicle of The Hawkins Family—Master Builders of Post-Civil War Rappahannock. Highlights of this historic research study will be personally presented by Scott McBride at 8 p.m. at Friday Night at the Library, May 13. When asked to summarize the scope and theme of his program McBride said, “The Hawkins legacy in Rappahannock County constitutes a unique 100-year record of changing architectural styles and building methods, all neatly confined within the branches of a single family tree.” Even the old-timers who may pride themselves on their knowledge of local history may be surprised at the extent and variety of that “Hawkins legacy” which includes some very familiar structures and land-marks as well as the many mansions, taking three years to build, that did so much to re-establish high standards of fine homebuilding immediately following the devastation of the Civil War. Exerpts of interviews and many slides will illustrate the program. Some light refreshments will follow the question and answer period. As always, the program is open to everyone and the admission is free.

", Mrs. Snead Presents Gardening Program To Club Members By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A few fine spring days and gardeners everywhere are consumed with an urge to dig. The dirt that is dug is a basic element for a successful garden and a fitting subject for the April meeting of the Rappahannock County Garden Club. The program on “What Plants Need” was presented by local gardener Lois Snead and included a discussion of the different types of soil found in do for plants and pointed out the best sources for each one. The benefits of using composted material as fertilizer were stressed with instructions on what materials make good compost and what to avoid. Many questions from club members indicated keen interest in the subject and much heavy clay in local gardens. With spring at its peak, many members brought prized blooms from their gardens for the horticulture exhibit. Many specimens for awards with two blue ribbons going to Carolyn Emerick and one each to Judy Halle, Mary Revercomb, Lucia Kilby, and Christine Johnston. The blue ribbon for an artistic arrangements representing “The Beauty of Spring” was won by Helen Brown. Hostesses for the day were Pauline Bruce, Dee Hume and Helen (Mrs. Todd) Smith. Members were reminded that the following day would be clean-up day at the Court House when all the beds and boxes are spruced up for the season. Many members came out to help with this and the project will be complete with geraniums in the boxes as soon as the weather is frost free. The next spring clean-up job for the Club is “Adopt a Highway” litter pick up on Route 231 which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on May 5,! with May 6 a rain date.

Amissville Ruritan Club Names j.B. Carter 'Citizen of the Year' l , . i __By CATHY SMITH V ■•ppalunnoek New* Contributing Writer « James B. “J.B.” Carter, Jr. was I honored as Amissville’s “Citizen of Jthe'Year” on Thursday, April 21 for »hia outstanding service to the comimumty as Chief of the Amissville t Volunteer Fire Department of Res'cue Squad. * The presentation was made by the Amiss ville Ruritan Club president Roger Cordani. This is an annual award made by the Ruritan Club to recognize outstanding citizens in the community. J.B.’s special moment was shared by his wife Sandra and his ' parents, Mr. and Mrs. James B. “Bobby” Carter, Sr. Following the ceremony, the family proceeded to 'J.B.’s grandmother’s, Mrs. Julia Poe, to help her celebrate her 89th birthday. J.B. was unaware he was receiving the award. He had been asked to brief the Ruritan Club on the Fire Department’s activities planned for the year. He did make a brief presentation, followed by questions by ; the auidence, which mainly centered around how service would be iro‘pacted to Culpeper residents now being served by Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, after Little Pork Volunteer Fire Department becomes operational, since most of ,the Club’s members live in Culpeper County. Mr. Carter was unsure what the final arrangements would be~it may depend upon the location of Little Fork Volunteer Fire Department, will be decided by Culpeper Board of Supervisors and Fire and Rescue Association. Last year Amissville Volunteer Fire Department responded to 446 calls, 61 percent of them in Culpeper County. Amissville Volunteer Fire T)epartment will cooperate with Little Fork Volunteer Fire Department in serving northern Culpeper County residents, if permitted to do so. Amissville currently has about 15 . Culpeper County residents actively responding to calls. The Amissville Volunteer Fire Department is currently in its 42nd year. t Ruritan members Mr. Frank McWhirt praised J.B. Carter and one of the Scott girls (Sheila or Sharton) for saving his life recently following a heart attack. He said measures taken by the rescue personnel (in the Advanced Life Support Ambulance) saved his life. When they got to the hospital his heart stopped and he had to be “jump-started” (using cardio-varsion). His doctor told him a 15-min_ute delay in getting him to the hospital would probably have meant death. I can personally testify to the heroic effects of our rescue personnel Photo courtesy of C*thy Smith J.B. Carter, Fire Chief of Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad was honored last week as Amissville ‘Citizen of the Year* by the Amissville Ruritan Club. who have had to assist me in at least four instances. J.B. Carter recalled how he came to be invovled in fire and rescue. He said it was probably his dad’s influence. Bobby Carter has been an active member of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad since 1965; 12 of those years as Captain of the Rescue Squad. J.B. remembers, as a young boy, that the household may all be awake, at all hours of the night, as his mother, Frances Poe Carter, would make phone calls to volunteers living too far away to hear the i siren. Bobby Carter recalls that his son, at about 10-12 years of age, would get out in the yard and made sounds just like the siren,” since they lived across from the Fire Department, everyone thought it was the real thing. J.B. said the Department can go to your home or business to make sure it is fire-safe. He asked that the Ruritan Club let him know if they are interested in having a CPR class. Also, there will be a public CPR class in may. J.B. said the new road names in Culpeper have really helped the response time. Rappahannock hopes to have their numbers by Augsut and go on line by next July 1,1995. Road names have been completed. In talking with J.B.’s dad, I understand that numerous hours go into training to keep the volunteers op to date on the latest methods and medical terminology. In 1979 at the age of 15 J.B. joined the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department as a junior member. In 1980 he became an EMT and Firefighter I & II (FF III now). In 1983 he became a Fire Instructor and senior member. Also, in 1983 he became a career firefighter with the City of Manassas Park. In 1984 he became a paramedic. In 1986 he became a career firefighter and paramedic with Prince William County. He held the following offices in the Amiss ville Fire Department: Fire LT, Fire Captain, EMS Captain and is presently Fire Chief. Some of his other training includes the following: Cardiac Technician, HAZMAT II, Instructor III, Officer II, Driver Pump Operator, Heavy Tactical Rescue, CPR instructor and national registered paramedic. J.B. is married to the former Sandra Ross of Warrenton and is the father of two children, Emily, three and Adam, two months. When Ruritan Club president Roger Cordani advised J.B. he could have a one-year free membership in the Club, he remarked “I’m not sure what night I have free anymore; I have to take Sandra with me now to the Fire House to get to see her.” I believe the Club had a greater appreciation for the many hours our volunteers spend so that they might serve us better, although some of the members are life-long members of the Fire Department in which they’ve served in years past.

A New Blood Pressure 'Reading' DJ ntLLiil w. smith Extcraion A«mt, Home Economic* When checking someone’s blood pressure, physicians frequently home in on the second of the two numbers - say, the “80” in “120 over 80” - as the “important” indicator of whether the pressure is high enough to pose the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Their thinking makes sense. The first number represents the strong pressure exerted as the heart contracts to pump blood to all the arteries throughout the body and is therefore going to be relatively high as a matter of course. The second number represents the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries between beats. If that number is elevated, it means the arteries, or blood vessels, are under great pressure even when the heart is relaxed and simply filling with blood in preparation for its next beat. Known as diastolic pressure, the second number if generally considered high above 90. That’s when a doctor will advise a blood pressurelowering change in lifestyle habits, sometimes coupled with medication. A growing body of evidence, however, suggests that an elevated first number, known as systolic pressure, is also a cause for concern, even if it is the only one of the two numbers that runs high. Consider the findings of the researchers work BINGO Every Thursday Night REGULARSi *60 SPECIALS *100 Early Games 6:30 PM Early Birds 6:45 PM Regulars 7:00 PM LUCKY7 MYSTERY “G" *1000 JACKPOT GUARANTEED NIGHTLY SNACKBAR SALEM VFD 5-1/2 MLES NORTH 522 HOME ECONOMICS ing on the Massachusetts-based Framingham Heart Study who followed the health of some 2,700 people for as long as 34 years. They discovered that those who had normal diastolic pressure but high systolic readings of 140 to 159 (up to 140 is usually considered normal) were at greater risk of suffering the consequences of heart disease than people with systolic readings below 140. Dubbed borderline isolated systolic hypertension, the condition affected nearly one in five people over the age of 65 and ranked as the most common type of high blood pressure that was left untreated. Compared to people with normal blood pressure, those with the “borderline” 1 condition were more likely over the long run to end up with high blood pressure in which either one or both numbers were severely elevated, putting them at an even greater risk of ill health and early death. Keeping Down That First Number 1 Unfortunately, in addition to being one of the most underdiagnosed and least treated types of high blood pressure, borderline isolated systolic hypertension is the least thoroughly studied. Experts aren’t sure which drugs, if any, can help bring systolic pressure down. But some preliminary research suggets that non-drug measures in general may1 help prevent the problem from worsening into full-blown high blood pressure or hypertension, in which the systolic and/or diastolic numbers are severely elevated. The recenly released Report of the Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends the following lifestyle strategies: Shed excess weight - a loss of as little as ten pounds is enough to reduce blood pressure significantly in some cases. Limit daily alcohol consumption to no more than one ounce - the amount of 24 ounces of beer, eight ounces of wine, or two ounces of 100proof whisky. Limit daily sodium consumption to less than 2,300 milligrams - the amount in one teaspoon of salt. Exercise regularly - for people who are sedentary, 30 to 45 minutes to brisk walking three to five times a week can often lower, as well as keep down, systolic pressure.

The Montpelier Wine Festival — a first class picnic in the beautiful countryside of central Virginia. The fourth annual Montpelier Wine Festival takes place on the grounds of Montpelier — James Madison’s life-long home - on Mother’s Day Saturday, May 7 and Sunday, May 8. The fun begins at 11 a.m. both days and continues until 7 p.m. on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. / Montpelier encompasses 2,700 acres of woodland and pastures amid the lush landscape of the Piedmont region and within clear view of the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains — a picture-perfect backdrop for savoring award-winning wines from seven of Virginia finest wineries: Autumn Hill/Blue Ridge Winery, Barboursville Vineyards, Burnley Vineyards, Dominion Wine Cellars, Prince Michel Vineyards, Rapidan River Vineyards and the Williamsburg Winery. The Montpelier Wine Festival is mux e mail a wine lasting that is sure to please both wine connoisseurs and novices alike, it’s the chance to learn more about a grand, historic property (including Civil War encampments) while sampling a variety of regional food specialties, browsing and shopping among 40 beautiful arts and crafts displays and enjoying a unique mix of festival entertainment. Montpelier provides ample space under the estate’s magnificent oak trees to picnic and eiyoy the musical line-up of two folk bands Amy Ferebee and Robin Rich - and an unbeat dance mix of country, rock and cajun performed by Le Jeune Jones. And the Fearless Airborne Conjury will dazzle the crowd with his comedy and daring juggling feats. For younger festival-goers a host of four-legged friends and animals will be on hand — sheep, ducks, ponies, police dogs and even an oxen team sled ride! Everyone will delight in the annual dog show presented by the Charlottesville/Albermarle Kennel Club ont he last day of National Pet Week, Saturday, May 7. The event features a canine good citizenship test at 11 p.m. and at 2 p.m. a parade of rare breeds, including Anat olian Shepards, Airedale Terriers and Burmese Mountain Dogs. There will be scrimmages and demonstrations by the Piedmont Women’s Polo Club on Saturday. In addition to strolling the grassy paddock area within view of the majestic mansion - that the 1993 underwent an exterior face-lift, including a new copper roof and fresh coat of paint — festival-goers can purchase tickets for tours of Montpelier. During Madison’s lifetune and then under the ownership of the duPonts from 1928-1983, Montpelier underwent several additions and renovations that make a tour of this 55-room mansion a unique look at a “house within a house.” A portion of the proceeds from the festival will benefit on going restoration and preservation projects at Montpelier, — a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Join in a barrel of festivities that the entire family won’t soon forget at the Montpelier Wine Festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $8 in advance, $12 at the gate, $4 for ages 6-21 and free for children under 6. For tickets and more information call 672-2361.

Mice. Voles, and Moles fw f When we discover the creatures have been eating on our plants, we tend to get excited and put more emphasis on eliminating them than on identifying and understanding them. This can reduce the effectiveness of our intent, considerably at times. One case in point is the mice, vole, or mole dilemma. Although easily confused by the novie, these are not all plant-devouring rodents. In fact, the mole is neither a rodent nor a plant eater. A close relative of the shrew, the mole tunnels through your yard in search of grubs and other soil insects. It’s Probably Voles That Damage Plants While moles are a nuisance making the yard unsightly and difficulty to cross in high heels, they do relatively little actual damage to plants outside of pushing small perennials out of the ground. Pine and meadow voles, often called mice as they are a subspecies, are more likely the culprits, damaging bulbs, roots, and tree bark. However, the pine vole and the mole seem to work as a team in creating havoc since the pine vole loves to use the tunnels created by moles as running paths for easy access to dinner. The meadow vole, on the other hand, stays above ground and tunnels through leaves, straw, and other debris to reach its favorite food. Voles can be more damaging than insects or disease in a fruit orchard. They have been known to girdle and kill a tree in one winter. They can also become pests in perennial flower beds. Use Soil Insecticide To Discourage Moles There are several things a home owner can do to prevent damage. First, eliminate potential homes for the creatures. Moles can be discouraged by reducing the insect population in the soil, usually through the use of soil insecticides. Traps may also be used to stop the moles. After the moles are gone, their tunnels should be collapsed to prevent winter use by pine voles. Mulch, stems, leaves, and dead grass should be removed from around the trunks of trees to reduce meadow vole damage. Tree guards are helpful in reducing summer and early fall damage. They should be constructed from hardware cloth with no larger than 1/4-inch mesh. Guards should enclose the tree trunk and extend several inches below the soil to about 18 inches above the soil surface. Never use tar paper or roofing paper; these materials may damage the tree by lowering their winter hardiness. Use Mouse Traps To Control Voles Common household mouse traps baited with apples and placed in the trail system are probably the most effective control for voles. Surround your plantings at 10-to 20-square foot intervals to get rid of all of the voles present. But, be aware-new voles may move in if traps are not maintained. Extenision Publication 420-024 “Controlling Voles” or 420-032 “Moles” has more information. Contact you local Virginia Cooperative Extension office to get copies.
