~T*—ft tr~ nappanaiinock County’s Family Newspaper Since Assembly Takes On Big Issues By SHERRY JONES Capital New» Service RICHMOND — Several controversial issues made their way to the forefront this past week. With less than three weeks left in this year's session, committees are working overtime to pass or kill bills. Topics voted on during the past week range from agriculture to education, including the parental notification bill for teenagers seeking abortions. Sludge Proposal The Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee Monday approved a measure that forbids localities from regulating the land application of sludge and leaves regulation to the state's Health Department. Sen. Frank Nolen, D-New Hope, said sludge has been applied in a number of areas and there have been no problems. “The local governments wtill have a great deal of control over the application of this material but they cannot ban it outright,” he said. Since Rappahannock County' already adopted an outright ban on sludge application, County Administrator John McCarthy has joined others in opposing the bill. While Mr. McCarthy did not attend Monday’s meeting, he did speak against the bill at a previous subcommittee meeting, where he was supported by representatives from other localities and the Virginia Association of Counties. Betty Barrett, a representative from the Lancaster Board of Supervisors, said the committee should take more time to study the impact sludge application would have on localities. “My concern is for the health, safety and welfare of citizens of our state,” she said. Extension Service During this past weekend the General Assembly money committees voted to restore most funds to the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service and agricultural research. The House added $12.3 million, and the Senate added $10.3 million. Sen. Kevin G. Miller, R-Harrisonburg, whose district includes Rappahannock County, co-sponsored the senate bill. A few weeks ago Sen. Miller and 29 other senators copatroned a bill that would have restored the full $14.6 million that was cut. Del. Jay Katzen and a large majority of the House membership signed on to a similar budget amendment. Del. Katzen said late Tuesday night his understanding is the House amendment would restore all but perhaps the $600,000 that was cut. from this year's budget last year. The two bills will go to a joint committee along with See Assembly, Page A-6 Candelmas Celebration RS|pahannock News Staff Photo Cindy Mahan Hunt Harris and a friend enjoy the warmth of the community bonfire last Thursday. Volunteers Ask Board For Tower County Has Permit For Landfill Cell By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors scheduled a public hearing on making the program that grants tax relief to the low-income elderly and disabled more generous, but no one came, and the measure was unanimously adopted. Instead, the Court House Monday evening was crowded with members of the local fire and rescue departments who insisted the supervisors do something about getting the tower constructed that Cellular One has offered to build. The tower will serve the dispatch center also. 1 he rescue squad and fire department members said they want the tower both for its use for the dispatch center in the Sheriffs Office and for cellular phone use. With current difficulty in radio communication in many parts of the county they said, they sometimes try cellular telephones to communicate, particularly with' the hospitals they bring patients to. But that.communication also needs the tower, they said. The Washington Town Council has taken the position that they do not want the higher tower in town, and have indicated they don’t particularly want it in the vicinity of town either. By the end of the meeting the supervisors adopted a motion to ask members of the Recreation Facilities Board how they would feel about having the tower at the countv park. Hampton District representative Mike Massie abstained in the vote on the motion which passed 4 to 0. Mr. Massie said the supervisors should instead pursue the idea of locating the tower behind the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op. The Co-op has indicated it is willing to have the tower, which could also serve its dispatching needs, but Cellular One said that location would not work with their need for line-of-sight transmission to Front Royal and Culpeper. The supervisors had a copy of a letter by Richard Biby, a communications engineer who has volunteered his services to the county to find a location for the See Tower, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Unemployment The county’s unemployment rate jumped to 11.7 percent in December, up from 4.9 percent in October and November, and up from 2.5 percent in September.

Bars Recommend Candidates By KELBY HARTSQJN Rappahannuck News Staff W^ v ^ * Two local bar associations have endorsed Rappahannock and Fauquier County Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson for a slot on the Virginia Court of Appeals. Gary Pearson, Fauquier Bar Association president, said three seats on the Court of Appeals may soon be open. The association passed a resolution on Monday supporting Judge Robertson for one of the slots. “He’s really highly qualified,” Mr. Pearson said, adding that Judge Robertson’s talents and knowledge would be an asset to the court. He has been practicing law since 1966, and has been a Rappahannock and Fauquier County Circuit Court judge since 1980. “We‘think he’s an excellent candidate,” Mr. Pearson stressed. “He's a very good judge here.” The Rappahannock County Bar Association also passed a resolution on Feb. 1 supporting Robertson for the judgeship, saying he “has e"xfflbited the highest degree of dedication to his community” and has served “in an exemplary fashion exhibiting integrity and ability.” Judge Robertson could not be reached for comment on Monday and Tuesday. To fill Judge Robertson’s Circuit Court seat, the Rappahannock Bar Association is endorsing Douglas Baumgardner, a Washington, Va., attorney. Mr. Baumgardner said, “It’s an opportunity to be of serv ice and a natural extension of w hat I’ve been doing for the past 19 years.” He continued, “The Circuit Court handles a wide variety of civil and criminal cases. The litigation 1 have beert involved with has taken in these types of cases.” On the civil side, he said, he has involved in cases involving automobile i.wjnigence, zoning and condemnation See Judges, Page A-5 Rappahannock News Sweeps The Rappahannock News has been natfied the best small weekly newspaper in the state of Virginia for 1994 by the Virginia Press Association.

General District Court Carrol Doyle of Rileyville received a sympathetic hearing from Judge Charles Foley in General District Court on Tuesday. Mrs. Doyle had been charged with hit-and-run following an accident on Rt. 211 west of Sperryville lait month. Lennum Whorton of Stanardsville testified that he was headed towards Luray and had just passed the High on the Hog Restaurant when he saw a car coming at him. “We thought it was coming at a high rate of speed,” he said. “Then she lost control and the car swerved first off the pavement to the left, then back across the road into my lane and hit the rear quarter panel of our car,” he added. “Then the car went back across the road and hit some mailboxes.” “Then what happened ,” asked Peter Luke, the Commonwealth’s Attorney. “I stopped and watched as she got out of her car, went around to the front and then got back into the car and drove off,” Mr. Whorton said. “1 turned around and followed her back towards Sperryville with my lights flashing and honking my horn. “When 1 saw the Trooper’s car stopped there in Sperryville, I stopped and told him about the accident. She kept on going,” he added.1 Trooper Wayne Sumner testified that he looked at the scene of the accident and found a license plate near the knocked down mail boxes and quickly traced the car back to a dealer in Luray. He was able to track her down in Silver Spring, Md., and she met w'ith him the next morning, still driving the same car. Mrs. Doyle told Judge Foley that she suffers from severe anxiety attacks and does not remember much about the accident. She said she car, which she had picked up in Luray only a half hour before the accident, had some sort of steering and braking problem. When she hit the brakes to slow for the corner the car slipped off the road to the right, and then she lost control and swerved across the road. She said she saw the other car drift by as she was sliding across the road, but did not feel any bump. “I really don’t remember the accident itself very well,” she said. “When I got the car stopped I got out and looked but didn’t see much damage to the front of the car. I didn’t know I had hit the mailboxes, she said.” “Then I got back in the car and started down the road and then I got so scared I could hardly breathe.” “When these attacks hit me I just try to drive along and look at the scenery until I can breathe comfortably again,” she said. She told the judge she had personally apologized and paid for the damaged mail boxes and had given Mr. Whorten a check for the repairs to his car before court. Her father, told the court that she had been getting counseling for the anxiety attacks in Florida before moving back to Virginia to be nearer her three children, who are living with their father following a divorce. “I have a U-Haul Truck parked at the bottom of her driveway , and if we can get it up to the house we will pack her up and take her back to Florida tomorrow,” he said.

The majority of the cost will be defrayed by generous contributions from local merchants. Cutoff date for registration is Feb. 17. Topics that will be covered are those we are mostly asked about and those we feel you need to know, (i.e. wetlands, permitting, right to farm). No one likes regulations, but we all are required to live with them. What is worse for any of us are those we must comply with but don’t know about. Yes, I have heard many of you being misled by some regulations that do not exist. This program provides you an opportunity to hear, ask questions and hopefully get the correct answer. If nothing else, you will know who to call for answers. I do not think you can afford to miss this meeting. While we are focusing on the farmers, there are many areas that pertain to local government, other agencies and persons that have a desire to manipulate soils for the purpose of constructing various BMPs (i.e. ponds). The only restriction for people to attend is the limited number of spaces available. Therefore we encourage early, registration by contacting this office at 825-4200 or come by 604 S.

Panther Pause By Shannon Eastham Exams Are Finally Over, Celebrate With Flowers At last, exams are finally over and we can concentrate on the more meaningful things like the Student Council Association's Valentine’s Day preparations. The SCA will be sponsoring a dance from 8 to 11 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 17. The SCA is also selling carnations to be delivered on Valentine’s Day. There are three varieties available: white for friendship, pink means someone special and red is I love you. The cost is a dollar each. Be sure to show your Valentine you care because a holiday without flowers is the pits! In addition, the student government is collecting non-perishable food items and summer clothing for children ages newborn to eight years old. The drive will benefit 30 children at Nsgamba, a Ugandan orphanage. Congratulations go out to Jonathan Maeyer and Luke Zindel for receiving perfect scores on the monthly Virginia Mathematics League competition. Derek Daczewitz is also recognized as a cumulative high scoring student. With students like these it’s no wonder Rappahannock is the leader of District seven, which includes high schools like Fauquier, Sherando, Central, John Handley, Loudoun, Strasburg, Stonewall Jackson and both Wakefield schools. We are also a cumulative high scoring school. On an artistic note, the Humanities class will be carving soap sculptures this week. The group hopes to explore the concept of man as a “form-making, formseeking” species. The senior trip is quickly approaching. The concert fundraiser, previously postponed, will be held Saturday, Feb. 11. The seniors will also be performing the special dance portion of the performance at the elementary school for grades kindergarten through third Friday morning. Just ta reminder for all worrisome senior parents: the number for Seven Springs Resort is 814352-7777 (Try not to use it.) Happy Valentine’s Day. Scout Computes His Path to Eagle By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Mike Wolfe held his third and final computer class for adults last Wednesday completing a major portion of his project to earn the Eagle rank as a Boy Scout. The class was held one night a week for three weeks and w^s geared toward teaching adults the basics of computers and about what a computer can accomplish. Twenty-two adults were taught everything from word processing to playing games to logging on to America Online, with the help of several teachers. Mike, an 11th grader, supervised the classes and organized the entire project. He said that he was surprised how quickly the class filled up after running information about it in the Upcoming Events section of the Rappahannock News. I he tirst night ot class, Lynn Beahm, Project Coordinator for the RJR project at the school, taught the basics of Macintosh and Claris Works. Other Boy Scouts from Mike’s troop were on hand to provide help, and several of their parents were enrolled in the class. The students had a lot of hands-on experience in this class, and completed an assignment by writing a letter on the computer. n Holly Pendleton led the class during their second evening at the computers. He taught them the Super Paint and Claris Works programs and gave his students plenty of time to experiment. Several games were available for fun and as a learning tool for the computer. The final class was led first by Mr. Pendleton, who demonstrated the bookkeeping program called Quicken. Next, Mrs. Beahm logged onto America Online. For these demonstrations, everyone in the class was able to watch together. Mrs. Beahm used an overhead projector to show what was on the computer screen. Mrs. Beahm explained tnai America Online requires a modem, which hooks up to phone lines all over the world, and a monthly charge must be paid. Also, if a local phone number is not available for logging onto America Online, and there is not a local number for Rappahannock residents yet, the time spent onlirte is charged as a long distance call. She described this process as “surfing the net.” Files, or letters, can be sent over the phone line to someone else and they receive it almost instantaneously. This is known as email. An almost endless list of information is available, including weather, travel, the Chicago Tribune, sports, People Connection, and lots more Even airline tickets can be purchased using the computer. At the completion of class, Mike handed out surveys to all of his students.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/ Courtney Welch digs for the ball while Jaimee Hammitt looks on during a match against Manassas Park. RCHS Cagers Win Big, Then Lose to Central By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The RCHS boys’ varsity basketball team and the junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams each won one and lost one last week. The basketball team beat Stonewall Jackson by a wide margin, 61-46. Stonewall had beat RCHS the last time they played. Coach Eugene Baltimore said, “We jumped on them from the start and rebounded the ball well. Jason Settle really carried us offensively during the first half.” He also said that the whole team came out and played hard and did what was needed to get the win. Coach Baltimore was just as pleased with his team in their game against Central, even though RCHS lost, 56-54. Central is second in the district and was on a ten game winning streak, and Coach Baltimore said, “1 was very nervous because they had been blowing people out at home. We went on the road and played that game to the limit.” Willie Eastham made 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the coach said that everyone else played well too. “Defensively it was great,” he said. The junior varsity basketball team dropped two games last week. They lost a heartbreaker to Stonewall Jackson, 57-58, and fell to Central, 46-63. The varsity volleyball team won some very hard fought games against Manassas Park on Monday night. The scores were 15-5, 13-15 and 1511. Coach Laura Conklin said that Jo Tole’s spikes have really improved and that she now likes to start her on the front line instead of as first server. Katja Valtonen also played really well, said Coach Conklin. It was also the first night the w'hole team had played together, with nobody out sick. The team lost to Page last week, 10-15,4-15. The junior varsity beat Page 1510, 15-7, and lost to Manassas Park 715, 15-13, 15-17. Coach Liz Hollie said that it felt really good to beat Page on their turf after giving them a game last time, "They really played together as a team,” she said. Of the game against Manassas Park, she said, "The second game was unbelievable. There were a lot of times when Manassas Park could have gone on and we stopped them.” Champion...Greater Culpeper Area's #1 VOLUMC DISCOUNT C€NT€R cvenvonv low, low VOL UM€ DISCOUNT PH I CCS Reanres <S Swings ns high ns $5000 * *Me (ms WtnNcsnm, Fes. 15th '95 Toyota 4x4 PLX Truck r, H )fA v 00 ome 6 speed overdrive trans.. all weather guard pkg., p/steenng, chromi pkg.. sliding rear window.

This session may well bring an end to the county’s ability to ban mobile homes from agricultural zones, as well as the ban on sewage sludge. > Two conservative values have bumped up against each other in these issues: the desire to remove burdensome regulation and the desire to preserve local control, and local control is losing. In an area where all agricultural lands are in large parcels the presence of mobile homes might have little effect. In Rappahannock a significant amount of land zoned agricultural is in fairly small parcels. Two years ago the General Assembly said the county could not ban double-wide mobile homes. Thjs^year the width limit is about to goThese bills are promoted by the manufactured housing industry. Their argument is that manufactured housing is more affordable than conventionally constructed homes. That is no doubt true. History indicates that it is far less permanent also. It might help if those involved in the construction industry would help fight this movement instead of leaving it up to rural counties to protest this encroachment on their authority to control land use. The Department of Environmental Quality has apparently gotten out of the business of regulating the application of sewage sludge, leaving all state regulation to the Health Department. The county’s supervisors are far from convinced that the Health Department can guarantee this will be no more than a nuisance to neighboring landowners. A review of the history of agricultural pesticide use indicates this skepticism is justified. Is Extension Saved? Bills restoring funding to the Extension Service are apparently between $2.6 million and $600,000 short of restoring all that was proposed for cuts in the next fiscal year. Rappahannock citizens are left wondering if we may again lose our agriculture agent. If this situation continues once the various v ersions of the state budget have been reconciled, the county can only hope Virginia Tech will consider the need for an agent at least as important as his seniority in the system. Last year when cuts were much less severe, apparently seniority was the only consideration. ^tkBIGBOYS ARE SERVlNC UP SLUDfiE At THE TABLE AGAIN-A b I BUT HO VOUEYt ~ m^\ t Our Rappahannock Heritage '• v Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The Hazel River burbles over the rocks and under the ice as it passes the entrance to Boot Hollow. Letters to the Editor Schools Do Good Job To the Editor: I am replying to the article in the paper Jan. 26 “The Right School.” 1 have three children who started school at Rappahannock County Elementary at 4 and a half years old. My children needed special attention in kindergarten through third grades. The teachers put them in smaller classes and gave each one more attention. I now have two daughters in Rappahannock County High School. One is in 10th grade and one is in 12th. The senior has a 3.5 grade point average and is a member of the National Honor Society. She has been on the honor roll for six years straight. My daughter in 10th grade gets As and Bs. 1 had Mr. Wingfield add Mr. Toth for my teachers in the 70s when 1 went to Rappahannock County High School. Tam glad they are still there. They go beyond their jobs to help students. We need more teachers like them. DOLL IE ATKINS Sperryville Allen's Cuts Shortsighted To the Editor: I am a college student living in Rappahannock County. I am surprised and deeply dismayed by the compromises Governor Allen is proposing to make masked as a charade of tax cutting. Already thousands of Virginians are up in arms about the effects these spending cuts will have on the children’s lives and opportunities. Gov. Allen is cutting 90 percent of Social Services but increasing funding for prisons: good thing, people will probably be in need of housing. He is cutting funding for operating county offices but mandating the salaries. Where will the money come from? Probably improvement on any level will have to be trimmed or forgone, trying to make ends meet. He even wants to cut funding for registration of voters. This makes no sense. Worst, he is cutting funding for education. Education is the one measure a person can take to get ahead in this society. It helps them grow, gain employment, change their current situation, have some control over where their lives go and even help those around them. He seems to believe increasing prison funding is more important. Why would anyone ever take any money away from education on any level? 1 cannot think of one reason. Besides being deeply offended, 1 am very hurt, directly because of these budget cuts (between 401 to 65 million being cut for higher education) a new program that l was interested in, at Radford University, had to be dropped. The program was called The New College of Global Studies. Their idea involved educating so that the graduate of this program would see and live in this world as though all people were interdependent, as is the environment and the population. Now because of these budget cuts students and this country’s future suffer the loss of this opportunity along with the decline of quality higher education and the lack of much needed financial aid. Supposedly. Gov. Allen's priorities are education, economic development and giving people skills to stay off welfare. What I see is a short sighted misinformed government that has forgotten that education and prevention are 99 percent of the battle. DAFNA LAURIE Amissville Hearing Set For Hazel River Status To the Editor: I am writing to thank all the citizens in Rappahannock County who took the time, during the busy Christmas season, to in support of thd Hazel H^r Wjfc* project. An application fori S'.cvage treatment plant for Longlea development at the Freedom Studies Center came up during the holidays, and there were enough letters sent into the [Department of Environmental Quality to bring about a public hearing on the permitting of this plant. The hearing will be held at the Culpeper County High School at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 23. At 6:30 there will be a State Department of Environmental Quality presentation of the plant design and public comment will start at 7 p.m. Anyone may speak at the shearing; you will be sworn in as that is their process. You may state your opinion, or, any statement that you feel has bearing on the issue. D.E.Q. may set a time limit to an individual’s comment. The write-in comment period has been reopened, and will remain open until March 10. The new address to write to is: Mrs. Debra Pegram, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 10009, Richmond, Va. 23240. It should be made clear that there are two different issues here. One: is this plant appropriate for this site? This issue concerns all who use the river for recreation, it concerns property owners downstream from the plant, and any jurisdiction upstream that might want to withdraw water in the future. Two: can the Hazel River qualify as a Tier III exceptional waters river? These two issues mesh because if the plant is permitted the river will lose a chance at Tier 111 eligibility and also its standing as a National Resource Inventory river. At this time only two percent of the rivers nationwide are on this inventory list. We felt that the river deserves to be evaluated first for Tier III status because clean water is the ultimate resource for a community. The biodiversity of the river needs to be protected and creatures living in and along its banks are a resource for the nation. In order for this biodiversity to last into the future we must live in harmony with other species an$l not endanger their habitat. The sense of wildness this river preserves has a vital connection to our agriculturally zoned land. This sewage plant permit forces us to take attention from the discussion of the benefits of Tier 111 to consider what the environmental impact of the plant might be. In terms of scale this plant will operate at one half of what the Warrenton town plant is operating right now. In 1983, during a hurricane, 13 million gallons came into the Warrenton plant and 12 million had to be. bypassed. Sewage treatment plants can be very well designed today but there are still natural disasters such as heavy rains, hurricanes, and droughts that greatly affect the proper functioning of these plants. There is a whole section of the plant’s permit that deals with how to report an inadvertent spill. The Virginia Department of Health stated that is would be necessary to post the river for no swimming at the U.S. 522 bridge once the plant reached the 150,000 gallon per day size. What about when it reaches 450,000 gallons per day? Let us°remember we are way back' in the country out here and may be literally, “up a creek,” if we go this route with our rivers. Think about your environment, and send in your comments or come to the meeting on Feb. 23 at the Culpeper County High School. SALLY MELLO Rixeyviile Special Ed Defended To the Editor: It is with regret that I feel it is necessary to write this Letter to the Editor to express my extreme concern over the way the Rappahannock News is handling the reporting and editorializing of the Rappahannock Schools budget concerns. 1 am writing this letter to express my anger in what can only be categorized as a flagrant abuse of editorial power. The article, of w hich you were the author, published on Jan. 4 entitled “Special Education Takes a Growing Part of Schools Resources and Space” was written in such a manner as to lead a reader to believe thdt a few children in the school system were receiving the bulk of the financial and time resources of Rappahannock school teachers, administrators and money. In fact, Ms. Kilpatrick, if one sat down and ran the numbers used in that article, one w;ould find that th^ $750,000 cost of Special Education's computed against the $5,650,000 -total school budget, is approximately 13 percent of the funds. Further, the figure 169 special education students was noted, but the article neglected to note the total number of students in the school system. I am told this figure is approximately 1,010. Therefore, the percentage of children targeted as special education to the total school population is approximately 16 percent. Using the figures in the article written by you, the Special Education program is not even receiving the per child share one would think it deserved. Not withstanding that, any reasonable person would assume it should take a little more per child to educate a handicapped or disabled child than a non handicapped or non disabled child. Why, Ms. Kilpatrick, would the newspaper want people to believe that Special. Education students are-eating up the resources, when in fact, the facts (your facts) indicate they are not even getting their share? As if this was not bad enough, the editorial staff allowed a cartoon to bt printed, Jan. 18 in which Special Education was depicted as a slop bucket or trash can, which runneth over. This container was probably 75 percent larger than the “rest” which was depicted as an empty pail at a dry pump. Once again, why would the editorial staff allow the newspaper to be used in such a manner as to distort the facts so blatantly. We would all acknowledge that Special Education will probably continue to be a growing group in the school systems across this country, not just Rappahannock County. And we should thank God for the advances which have made special education problems more readily identifiable. As a parent and a grandparent, I can assure you that there will be very few families who will not be touched by a child who can be served by Special Education and we should not be so bigoted and stingy as to not allow these children their share of the resources available. Our goal as parents, grandparents, and educators should be to maximize the potential of each and every child, not judge whether that potential is worthy of our money. All are created equal in the eyes of God. 1 implore the editorial staff to please use its power in a more sensitive and responsible manner and not allow hurtful, hateful distortions of the facts, designed to incite riots, to further what can only be construed as a bigoted and prejudiced agenda ANITA G.

Area Delegates Support Dudley Payne for Judge By Del. JAY KATZEN R-31st District Jan. 27, I chaired a meeting of the Northern Valley Caucus, held for the purpose of interviewing three excellent candidates for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Judgeship becoming available by virtue of Judge Hertz’s retirement. Our unanimous and enthusiastic choice is Dudley Payne. While the next steps are reserved for the consideration of candidates by the appropriate House and Senate committees, then nomination by the Democratic Party caucus, I look forward to presenting Dudley personally to the House Courts of Justice Committee, and to voting for him on the Floor. I have spoken frequently with Dudley over the past month, and my support for him reflects my belief that the process by which we select our judges must be based on merit, should be bi-partisan, and should take into consideration recommendations of local bar Associations. I am please that a number of my legislative initiatives are moving toward passage, including a bill Restaurants Win Honors Rappahannock’s restaurants continue to win honors beyond the county's borders. Both Four and Twenty Blackbirds and The Inn at Little Washington were listed in the January Washingtonian Magazine's list of “100 Very Best Restaurants.” Also these two establishments along with the Bleu Rock Inn were listed in the “readers selection” of the 1995 Zagat Survey of of restaurants in the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore area. which will provide that press information packets of working meetings held by Boards of Supervisors by made available to the media. In further support of our First Amendment rights, I also presented two other bills which would enable the media, upon approval of the judge, to have better access to juvenile court hearings and records. Both of these initiatives, however, were defeated by the majority party, which continues to control the committee system. It is that very control, of course which was exercised this week to prevent key elements of Governor Allen’s agenda from even being considered on the House Floor. Similarly, two anti-crime bills, submitted at the requests of both victims and law enforcement officers in our District, were defeated. One would have taken away the driver’s license of juveniles convicted of various crimes; the other would have tVeated juvenile drug king-pins as adults. Again, an approach prevailed more worried, apparently, over the rights of the perpetrator than are my concerns, which focus on the victim. We were able, however, to include Fauquier among counties able to require a background check on prospective school employees. Further, by bill to simplify the driver’s license application process for Home Schoolers appears headed for passage. My bill to facilitate the administration of small estates of wards, requested by Warren County Sheriff Lynn Armentrout, also passed this week. A bill I was very pleased to see defeated was, in fact, withdrawn in the face of a loss: Legislation backing river boat gambling. I opposed such a bill last year, and would have done the same this time around. My House ROUTE 211 Lee Highway Culpeper and Fauquier Counties Proposed Highway Improvement Proposed Project: Replacement of the existing substandard bridge over the Rappahannock River at the Culpeper / Fauquier Line and construction of the necessary roadway approaches. This proposal extends from 0.25 mile west to 0.30 mile east of the Culpeper/Fauquier County Line. Plan Review: Maps, drawings and other information concerning the proposal are available for you to see at the Culpeper District office located at 1601 Orange Road (Route 15 Business) just south of Route 3 in Culpeper and at both the Culpeper Residency office located at 1835 Industry Drive, east of Culpeper and the Warrenton Residency located on Business Route 29 at the South Corporate Limits of Warrenton' By this notice the Department shows its willingness to hold a public hearing, if your questions and/or concerns cannot be satisfied. Written Request: You may request that a public hearing be held by sending a written request to the Culpeper Resident Engineer, Mr. L C. Garber at the Virginia Department of Transportation, P. O.

I also co-patroned a resolution encouraging the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in Virginia’s public schools and institutions of higher learning. We vote on that this week. Rappahannock County asked to be considered for an Enterprise Zone, and soon will be eligible with the passage of a bill which I co-patroned, doubling the number of possible zones, Commonwealth-wide. I have asked the Speaker to be included in his appointments to the study commission which will pursue the review of Charter Schools, a process enabled by a resolution which was passed unanimously. Should I be selected, I will look forward to drawing on the dedicated educators, administrators, parents, other taxpayers, and students who bring such quality to education in our own District. We also will be voting this week on a bill which I co-patroned which would return up to 100 percent lottery proceeds to education. We had a group of 7th graders visit from Highland School this past week; Tuesday, seniors from Liberty High School will be with us, as we consider budget amendments, including my efforts to assist the return of funding to, among others, Extension and Research.

Admitting that he is a “long-shot” for the judgeship, Mr. Parker said he is vying for it nonetheless. “I think it would be fascinating work ... and I feel like I have something to contribute,” he said. Mr. Parker said he would bring a broad range of legal experience to the judgeship, having practiced criminal and civil law in local, state, federal and juvenile courts.

Mr. Biby‘s letter to Pamela Carter, of Cellular One, indicated the Co-op location could work as well for Cellular One as others in the county. Cellular One has not responded to that letter. The supervisors discussed locating the tower at the county library and at the Washington Fire Hall, but they had no indication these locations would meet/the approval of the Library Board or Fire Department. Mr. Massie said all the proposed locations were in Hampton District, and the supervisors should consider the wishes of the people in Hampton District. / The other supervisors were reluctant to push the Co-op location since Cellular One has not indicated it is acceptable. Most of the members of the fire and rescue squads indicated they don’t care where the tower is built as long as it gets built. Cellular One has until July 1 to begin building the tower or it risks losing its exclusive franchise to provide cellular telephone service in the county. With any of these locations Sheriff John Henry Woodward said he would want to keep his current tovfer in town to serve as backup in case power is lost or the phone line to the tower goes down. “We all realize this is not the most beautiful thing in the world," Chairman Hubert Gilkev said. “But it is something we need.” During the afternoon meeting the supervisors decided to publish the list of delinquent taxpayers. Mr. McCarthy said there is more than SI 17,000 owed to the county, and several properties could be sold for more than the cost of bringing the cases to that point. County Attorney Peter Luke will review the list for such properties. He reported the county had finally received its Part B permit for the new landfill cell.

Charter Schools Legislators breathed new life into the charter schools concept last week when a Senate Education and Health Subcommittee heard Sen. J. Brandon Bell's, R-Roanoke, proposal. This resurrection came after the House Education Committee tabled legislation dealing with the same issue. During the same meeting, delegates supported a proposal to study charter schools for one year in Virginia with the option of setting up a pilot program in one particular locality. Beverly H. Sgro, secretary of education who strongly supports establishing charter schools in Virginia, said these schools do not take money away from public schools because they are public schools. “This is one step further,” she said. “It’s a win-win situation.” On the other side of the legislature, Sen. Hunter B. Andrews, DHampton, told the committee that he thinks rushing into approving Sen. Bell’s bill would lead to chaos before a study is completed. “This may be an excellent, fine idea, Sen. Andrews said. “But by adopting it as a statute you’re putting the cart before the horse.” The senators agreed, recommending the bill go to a joint study commission. Higher Education Three of Virginia’s former governors issued a statement to members of the General Assembly requesting the return of funding to the state’s colleges and universities. Business leaders and university officials are aggressively lobbying legislators to allocate $98 million to higher education. The ex-governors — Mills E. Godwin Jr., Linwood Holton and Gerald Baliles — said the current economic growth in Virginia is due in large part to the educational infrastructure the state has carefully built.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8,1995 Williams Grocery in Chester Gap Attracts Hikers By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Williams Grocery 1n Chester Gap is a welcome sight to many hikers of the Appalachian Trail. “We’re on the map,” said Marilyn Williams, who owns and runs the store along with her husband Buck. She said that summer and fall are when most of the hikers stop by their store, and one of them told her that the store was on his hiking map. Mrs. Williams said that the hikers come off the Trail and follow a fire road to_ Route 610 above the store, then follow Route 610 down to U.S. 522, head north', and catch up with another portion of the Trail further down the road. “They are very interesting people who come here. We have had people who have hiked the entire trail by hiking a portion at a time. We had one fellow come by last fall on a very chilly day. He had only been in our country three weeks and he was hiking the trail by himself.” She said that his plan was to hike to Washington, D.C. to visit friends. The couple has been running the store for nearly five years. Mr. Williams is a native of Chester Gap. He and his wife returned to the area in 1990 after retiring from their jobs in Northern Virginia. Mr. Williams worked in the insurance business and Mrs. Williams was employed with a market research firm. ' They built a new house and took pver the store from Bradley Williams, Who is Mr. Williams’ second cousin. Bradley Williams still helps out in the store on Saturdays. The present storefront opened in the 1950’s. Mr. Williams said that earlier there had been another Williams Grocery down the hill which was run by his grandparents, so even though he was out of the business for many years, he returned to it after retirement. The store is the only one in Chester Gap, and with the sometimes extreme weather in Chester Gap, it is very important to the community there. Like many country stores, it serves as a meeting place for many, some who come in the evening and sit around the stove and discuss the day’s activities. One unusual part of the store is Mr. Williams’ flea market table. It is filled with items both new and old, including shoes and tools. All of the regular items are also available in the store: frozen foods, canned goods, dairy products, office supplies, freshly made sandwiches, ice cream, and even bird seed. Mrs. Williams said that most of their customers are either regulars or people asking directions. She said, “This is all new to me. I did not know anything about running a store but I have learned a lot.” Store hours are 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday; 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday; and 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Sunday. .-C^o 'k_I Janie Wines bought a popsicles from Buck Williams at Williams Grocery. r Study in Black and White Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The bright sun casts shadows that are nearly mirror images in the F.T.

Gallery Show Has Wall Power By ROBINJHJRNI LL Rappahannock NenviSonlribuiing Writer The current show at the Middle Street Gallery, entitled, “One Square Foot” has, as it’s theme implies, a Fine collection of small and very small works. A piece of art does not have to be large to be powerful. A perfect example of this concept is exemplified by Jan Vermur’s exquisite painting, “Girl with the Red Hat,” a little more than nine inches by seven inches, painted in 1665, at t-he National Gallery in Washington. This piece was chosen by the gallery’s director, Earl A. Powell, as his favorite painfc, ing in the entire collection. He describes this jewd^fcas having tremendous “wall power.” He says, “Even after-hours, I make it a point to see how she’s doing.” Most of the work in the Middle Street Gallery is of very high quality, particularly the paintings of Antonia Lewis, Chris Stephens, Thomas Spande and Ruth Clinard. Antpnia has three very small and charming paintings that excited my eye. The best, technically, was an egg tempera of a lovely little lady named “Sashia.” Egg tempera, the simplest of paints is made from powdered pigments and egg yolk. It can be tricky to handle. Antonia has done a masterfut job — just look at the luscious colors in her shadows! Her still life, “Sunlit Preserves,” is so reminiscent of all. “Woman Playing Harp,” a copy of the 15th century painting by Baccarico, is a well done study, but I wonder why she chose it to be in this show. It would have been very much more interesting to see her use this style in a creation of her own. Chris Stephens, a well known landscape painter from Front Royal, continues his exploration of threedimensional objects and the manner in which light hits surfaces. In a unique and striking manner, Chris has succeeded wonderfully in his sculpture/painting entitled “Day Break.” One can almost touch that brief moment at dawn when the rising sun blazes a wall. I hope Chris continues to push his work in this direction — it's fascinating for us, the audience. Thomas Spande’s new work in watercolor shows a sensitivity to light and color that goes very deep. “Page St, Brunswick, Maine,” has all the heat of summer and coolness of shade that describes a lazy summer afternoon. “Farm on Pleasant Hill Road,” evokes spring with all its fresh greens Photo courtesy of the Middle Street Gallery This little art work by Martha Sheets Knight is only two and a half inches by four inches. and "First Parrish Church" epitomizes the characteristic red blaze of a New England sugar maple in fall. These works are simple, moving and masterfully done. Ruth Clinard also has three strong landscapes in the show entitled the Waterford series. The color and composition are effective although I feel that if the artist could incorporate, more light and contrast the painting would be even more interesting. Martha Sheets Knight is a miniaturist in the true sense of the word. Her tiny, tiny and exacting works are well executed and quite amazing. Finally, I wish to pay special attention to the marvelous woodcuts of Naul Ojeda. “The Twins” is my favorite with its rich yellows, blues and blacks. I loved it. His two other subjects are simplicity in themselves, “Hope” and “Six Men Under an Umbrella” are charming and skillfully done. This is an intimate and inviting show with some fine examples of “Wall Power." The miniatures show, “One Square Foot” runs through Feb. 26. Call the Gallery for hours at 6753440. Black School History at the Library By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer How important was education to the blacks in the first half of this century? What were the values stressed and what was it like to walk to school in all sorts of weather to the one and two room schools located in our community’s’s scattered towns? These are some of the questions and other related matters that the participants in the program at the County Library will discuss at 8 p.m this Friday, Feb. 10. “The Way We Were” is the title suggested by Mr. James Russell of Sperryville. Bom in 1921, he belongs to the generation that boarded in Manassas when it came time to go to high school. He is the grandson of one of the original teachers who began to teach in 1871 when public schools for whites and blacks were first mandated by the state. Several age groups of black citizens will participate, including those who helped to integrate the schools in 1967, like Ms. Gloria Myers, a stu dent, and Mrs. Dorothy Butler, an elementary teacher. These individuals have a unique experience to share that in another generation we won't have access to. The rapidit> of change since W.W. II makes imagining earlier times almost impossible for those Whose lives were not shaped in the days of segregation. That is one reason to commemorate Black History Month with a consideration of Rappahannock’s 96 year history of black education.

Get The Most From Peanut Butter By: HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Peanut butter makes a great sandwich, but why stop there? The appealing aroma, rich flavor and creamv texture make it ideal for baking or stirring into other recipes. Nutrition Peanut butter is rich in protein needed by children for growth and at all ages for tissue repair and maintenance. Its fat is a good source of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. Peanut butter also supplies the B vitamins, especially niacin. Served as a main dish items, one fourth cup of peanut butter may be used in place of one serving of meat. Even though its nutritious peanut butter is relatively high in calories. One tablespoon of creamy or chuck style peanut butter is approximately 100 calories. Packed With Protein Protein is a vital part of living muscle tissue and one of our most important nutrients. Proteins are a complex group of food components in that not one, but many proteins exist. Each differs slightly from the others because they are a combination of simpler chemicals called amino acids. The value of proteins is classified in terms of their amino acid composition. Of the twenty or more amino acids that are known, our bodies essential amino acids. These must be present in the foods we eat. The proteins in fish, poultry and meat contain all the essential amino acids and therefore are considered to be excellent protein foods. Bui the essential amino acids also are in the proteins found in such foods as peanuts, wheat and navy beans. One plant protein teamed with another (e.g. peanut butter and bread) enhances and multiplies the effective HOME ECONOMICS ness of their protein power. Nutritionally, a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk are an example of a perfect pairing. Add an orange and this terrific trip becomes a nutritionally balanced meal. Storage To store peanut butter at home, twist the cap on tightly and store in cabinet or pantry-. To maintain its ease of spreadability, it should not be refrigerated. The following recipes are ways to get the most from peanut butter.
