Seven Indicted By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Seven indictments were handed down by the Grand Jury during Term Day in Rappahannock County Circuit Court on Monday. David Winfield Haught, 29, of Sperryville, was indicted for grand larceny. He alledgedly stole a Remington 870 12gauge shotgun, the property of William Mai Fox, in November, 1994. Christopher Lee Yowell, 19, of Culpeper, was indicted for grand larceny. He is accused of stealing a soft drink vending machine last November, along with its contents, from Burke's Grocery. The vending machine was the property of both the grocery store and Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Central Virginia, valued at more than $200. Brian William Way land, 19, of Washington, was indicted for perjury in a matter held earlier this month in Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court in Rappahannock County. Roy Wilson Rodgers, 49, of Fredericksburg, was indicted for grand larceny. He is charged with stealing a 1954 Ford 2door sedan, belonging to Scott Shelly and/or Robert B. Wilson, that was taken from the property of Robert and Linda Smith on Route 211, Sperryville last November. Karen A. Lundregan, 35, of Berwyn Heights, Page County, Maryland, was indicted for two felonies, fraud and uttering. The fraud indictment said that she intended to defraud, obtain by false pretenses or token the property of Faith Mountain Company in the amount of $200 or more. The other indictment charges that she did make, utter, draw or deliver a check drawn on Nationasbank in the amount of $3,295.87 and payable to the order of Faith Mountain Company, Inc. with intent to defraud, knowing that there were insufficient funds in the account. Both offenses occurred last October. Jerome John Gray, 24, of Maryland, was indicted for fraud, and is charged with obtaining property belonging to Ylva Lindgren last May. Robert Lee Ramey, 46, of Middletown, was found guilty of violating the terms of his probation, and ordered by Judge W. Shore Robertson to serve his original sentence of six years, less 150 days already served because of other probation violations. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke argued successfully that Mr. Ramey should have his probation revoked because this was his third violation. A joint trial without jury will be held on April 20 for Thomas Clayton Haun, Jr., 24, of Rixeyville, and John Russell Turner, 33, of Culpeper. Both men are charged with stealing a coffeewood log and selling it for $200. Two others have also been charged in this case. Tony Capies, 29, of Washington, D.C., was *n court for violation of probation. Judge Robertson decided to give Mr. Capies another chance, and told Mr. Capies he will be on supervised probation for one year. Also, Mr. Capies must pay his court costs by September 1, 1995. School Board To Chop $150,000 to $200,000 August Start Approved for Fall By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer ,, The School Board asked Superintendent David Gangel to bring several “scenarios” for cutting between $150,000 and $200,000 from the 1995-96 budget to the board's work session next Tuesday evening. They asked him to look at cutting aides to ride in school buses, consider using a part-time emergency medical technician in place of a school nurse, postpone work on rebuilding the fence behind the bus lot at the board office and around the baseball field, and consider taking out at least part of the position for a grant writer. Chairman Beverly Massie said the board should try to come up with the $9,500 to install lights in the high school parking lot out of the current budget. They indicated they want to keep much of the money for teachers salary' increases in the budget, but not the entire five percent plus step. At Tuesday’s regular meeting they heard strong support for making the art teacher’s position full time. Davette Kvarnes said many artist were considering home schooling or private schooling because of dissatisfaction with the art program in the schools. She said she is an artist and her children draw everyday, but say they “hate” their art classes which are not taught by the art teacher. " “Art nourishes the soul of all children,” she said. "People know the art program is important. There are a lot of taxpayers who don't have children in the public schools who really to support an arts program.” She gave the board a pile of letters in support of a full-time art position from people in the community and from students in both schools. High school student Anna Metcalfe show ed some of the projects she has done in art and said that some have “definite practical applications.” Hllen Neil Dore urged the board not to cut out funds to hire a part-time coordinator of volunteers. “This can have far reaching effects," she said. “It will assist teachers and involve more of the community. It will be money well spent.” She said perhaps a volunteer coordinator could find a more creative solution to problems on the buses than hiring aides. Parent PaUy Metcalfe said she was also opposed to spending money on putting aides on the buses. “I am upset that children can't conduct themselves so a bus driver can safely drive children to school. Perhaps they could walk,” she said. Ron Makela said obviously there have to be some cuts in the budget, but the board should consider cuts in physical improvements. “I could live with inferior fencing to add the new positions,” he said. Bobby Watson said he supported the full-time art position and also the raises for teachers. “There is no doubt the teachers are dedicated, and I would like them to get the increase,” See Schools, Page A-6 Council Approves Bonds Considers WSA Link for Water Testing By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer More complex procedures for operating the town’s water system and testing of town water will be required once the new treatment plant comes on line, Mayor Stewart Willis told members of Town Council last Wednesday night. Curtis Crawford has substituted for Ray Pullen as the town employee who oversees the water system and maintenance projects since Mr. Pullen had an accident last fall which left him unable to work. Mayor Willis said the town held the position open in hopes that Mr. Pullen Would be able to resume the work, but that does not seem likely. Mr. Crawford is uncomfortable about working with the chemicals involved. Mayor Willis said. He said the eyewash station has been installed and the water treatment plant has Health Department approval to hook up, but the town must arrange for the testing procedures first. Existing procedures include adding chlorine to the water, daily testing of taps in town, and monthly tests for coliform bacteria which are done in a lab in Luray, he said. There are also quarterly tests for volatile compounds, he said. With the new treatment plant the town will be required to test before and after the filter for pH, alkalinity, hardr ness, iron and manganese. Mayor Willis said. Mayor Willis said the water system is safe to drink as it is being treated now, but filtering out manganese will, improve the taste. New tests of the baekflush water before it is discharged to the Rush River will also be required monthly, he said. To do that samples must be taken every hour for eight flours. In addition tests for pesticide residues are required every quarter for a year. This is a new EPA mandate. Mayor Willis said. These are expensive tests, and the council approved adding $904 to the budget for them. If the town water supply tests free of these chemicals, more testing won't be required for three years, town assistant Kay Kohler said. Mayor Willis said he was exploring the possibility of working with the county Water and Sewer Authority to have the testing done by the WSA's employees at the Sperryville sewer treatment plant who also do testing for the school system. They are qualified to do the town's testing, he said. The town will still have to advertise for an employee to replacg Mr. Pullen for routine maintenance projects and reading the meters for the water system, he said. Steve Critzer said it would be diffi cull for the town to find any part-time , employee willing to do the testing. “It’s fike having a dairy farm, you have to be there every day,” he said. Two full-time employees and one part-time employee one weekend a month share responsibility for the operation of the Sperryville plant, they are able to divide the work so both full-time employees have some weekends oft'. Mayor Willis asked for authorization to pursue this option and to advertise for a permanent replacement for Mr. Pullen. He said the duties for the employee will depend on negotiations with the WSA. The council held three brief public hearings and adopted a bank franchise tax, approved borrowing $75,000 in bonds for the water system extension and accepting a $75,000 grant for the same purpose. Member Ray Gooch said that completes work on upgrading the water system started years ago. He said former Mayor Dean Morehouse, taking advantage of his political contacts, was largely responsible for getting the project this far and moved that the council adopt a resolution thanking him. The resolution was unanimously approved. Council elected Charles Eldred to replace Peter Kramer on the Architectural Review Board. Fletcher's Death Investigated By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ne»» Staff Writer Two men may face additional charges following the death of Ernest Randolph Fletcher Jr., 33, on March 4, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. Mr. Luke and Sheriff John Henry Woodward of the Rappahanrrock County Sheriff’s Office ordered an autopsy performed on Mr. Fletcher. The autopsy was ordered, said Mr. Luke, because Mr. Fletcher had died from an unknown reason and had sustained a previous head injury. The sheriff was present for the autopsy at the medical examiner’s office in Washington, D.C., and results are expected in 45 to 60 days. Mr. Fletcher suffered a vicious beating New Year’s Eve at the 211 Quicke Mart on U.S. 21 1 outside Washington. Two men were arrested and charged with malicious wounding in that incident — Roy Wayne Sisk, 31, of Sperryville, and Oscar Ray Sisk, 34„ of Washington. A statement by Deputy Connie Compton of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office in the court file said, “Based on a statement received from Ernest Randolph Fletcher, Jr., I have reason to believe that Roy Wayne Sisk and Oscar Ray Sisk committed the above offense by striking him in the back of the head with brass knuckles, and after Ernest fell to the ground they continued to assault him by kicking him about the head and shoulders.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that if the medical examiner's report indicates that Mr. Fletcher died as a result of the assault, charges pending against one or both men may be amended. He will not decide if additional charges will be filed until the autopsy report is received. Roy Wayne Sisk and Oscar Ray Sisk are due in General District Court April 18 for a preliminary hearing on the malicious wounding charges. Ernest R. Fletcher Jr.

Williams To Oversee School Environment Helen Williams is the school system’s new learning environment coordinator. She replaces Richard Smith, who will become the director of pupil personnel. He is replacing Margarita Piper, who retires at the end of June. Her new job is to ensure that the county’s schools are safe and that the students are not exposed to unsafe or dangerous chemicals or other hazards. She will also oversee the maintenance staff, be responsible for the water and septic systems and serve as the compliance officer and assist with transportation. Mrs. Williams is leaving teaching after 22 years to take up the new position. She said she decided to apply for the job to get a different perspective on how school systems work. She is doing work for a doctoral degree at the University of Virginia on the social foundations of American education. As a result, she said, “I have become aware of how much there is to a school system. After 22 years in the classroom, it is good to have another view, to have a better overall view of how a school system works.” She said that when she actually interviewed for the job, “everything sounded so new and exciting.” She is looking forward to learning about a variety of topics. She attended a conference at which the national debate on the future of school lunches came up. She said she found it fascinating to look into the future and past of that Helen Williams long-term program. Her doctoral work has “given me another view of how the outside world impinges on the world ihside the school,” she said. “A teacher in a way is more removed from that. The influences are diluted and filter down to the classroom slowly. In the central office, you feel them right away, and you need to know how to adjust to them.” I She said she is neither burned out nor bored with teaching and could return to it after a stint in administration, but the prospect of doing something different and being responsible for a wide variety of different aspects of the school system is “intriguing.” She is also pleased that hers will not be a desk job. “It’s a very active job,” she said. “I’ll be in and out of the schools and classrooms... I’ll deal with more of the people in the school system and have a chance to work with adults.” ARB Approves 3 Requests By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town of Washington Architectural Review Board approved three applications last week. Rob Parrish of Harris Hollow Road plans to install one-over-one windows in a third floor tower of his house, replacing the existing shutters. At present there are no windows behind the shutters. Robin Kevis, acting as an agent for Piedmont Avenue resident Fawn Evenson, discussed plans to build a new porch on the west side of Ms. Evenson’s house. The application passed unanimously, though ARB member Dwight Matthews questioned whether ARB chairman Donna Kevis might have a conflict of interest, as her husband would be working on the porch. She said because the project was under $7,000, it didn’t matter. ~Q£COn Cov 5 ijtsuj msmoxij cO\l{axy <Ofeftn Caxlex £=M[ay 15, /poO^sMatab 21, 1994 cOf <cJ\f[oOux i Hoot is foxsutx.

Last 'Opening Day' Arrives Saturday This Saturday, March 18, will mark the beginning of the trout season and the end of a tradition. It will be the last “opening day,” at least for a while. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has decided not to close the trout season, and thus there will be no more opening days. In the past trout fishermen often stood “shoulder to shoulder” along stocked trout streams waiting for the start of the season. According to the Game Department the decision to have a year-round trout season is a result of several years of research and discussion. Troflt anglers themselves participated, and surveys showed that 75 percent of persons purchasing trout licenses were in favor of not closing the season each year. The continuous open season will allow the department not only to raise trout more efficiently, but to stock more of them at the best time for the fish and fishermen. Trout hatcheries will now be able to go on a continuous production cycle which will let them stock a larger number of fish over a longer period of time. The department says the yearj-ound season is expected to have other benefits, including the opening of some streams. In the past, some private landowners had closed their property to fishing due to the large crowds that appeared on opening da\ and the problems they caused. The Fisheries Division expects some of these streams to be reopened in the future as the opening day rush becomes a thing of the past. Streams in this area that will be open Saturday are the Rose, Hughes and Robinson rivers in Madison County, all upstream of Route 231. A three-quarter mile stretch of the Rose River has been set aside on opening day for children 12 and under who otherwise would have to compete with adults along crowded streams. For children no license is needed and there is no charge. This section along Route 670 between Criglersville and Syria and is well marked by signs. Children should bring their own tackle and bait, and adults may accompany but cannot fish. After Saturday’s 9 a m. start, the legal fishing hours will be from 5 a.m. to one hour after sunset. The minimum size limit is seven inches and the maximum daily creel limit is six trout. Trout fishermen nfeed a special $12 trout license in addition to the usual $12 state fishing license, except that those under age 16 need no license. New this year is that no special trout license is needed to fish for trout in midsummer, from June 15 to September 30, although the usual state fishing license will be needed. Poultry Litter Workshop Is Planned By KENNER LOVE F.xttnsion Agent/A NR Several area farmers have recently asked about the benefits of using poultry litter as a source of fertilizer for crop and pasture land. Farmers looking for the most economical source of fertilizer could Find that poultry litter may be the answer. However, you must know what you are buying it terms of the available nutrients such as N, P, and K and know the rate of application per acre in order to receive optimum nutrient benefits for the crop. These questions will be answered during a workshop scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 22 in the Extension Office. A well-managed land application plan includes a soil fertility program that utilizes litter to supply as much of the needed plant nutrients as possible. Robert Shoemaker, nutrient management specialist for the Department of Conservation and Recreation, will address the following topics: Cost benefits of a litter/cpmmercial fertilizer program, calibrating spreaders, analyzing litter for nutrient content and crediting residual nutrients. Please call the Rappahannock Extension Office by Monday, March 20 if you plan to attend.

The approved amount is less than originally proposed by the company, so customers are due refunds on the difference between the approved rates and those imposed on an interim basis. Interim rates are based on the company's requested increase and are subject to refund pending the Commission’s final decision in the case. The company originally requested a rate increase of SI2.5 million, and interim rates based on that figure became effective Nov. 20, 1994. The company adjusted its request, however, following SCC approval of a 1993 rate application that resulted in a $4.5 million increase. Potomac Edison will issue refunds in the form of a credit on the monthly bill. The Commission’s order sets the company’s rate of return on equity at 11.50 percent. Potomac Edison, a part of the Allegheny Power System, serves nearly 73,000 customers in 14 Virginia Counties including most of Rappahannock County.

New regulations that came in with the new treatment plant require much more extensive testing than was previously required of the town. It is possible they could be performed by WSA personnel who are trained in that work. This seems eminently sensible. The WSA is already involved in a cooperative agreement with the school system to have its operator do work for the schools. This costs the school system about $8,150. That is less than the schools would have to pay to have an independent company run its tests and it guarantees that someone qualified is there every day. If a similar arrangement can be worked out for the town, it could mean-^pore pay for the operators, in line with their increased responsibilities, and financial relief for Sperryville’s sewer users. At $21.50 per month for an ordinary household, they are paying a fairly steep price. However, it will be necessary to make sure the increased demands on operator time do not go beyond what can be reasonably expected of an operator in a day. WSA members hardly need any more problems with the state’s Department of Environmental Quality for their management of the Sperryville plant. School Budget The School Board is taking a hard and responsible look at the proposed school budget for the coming year. Once that board is finished with its cuts, nothing substantial will remain that is not needed to operate the schools. The Board of Supervisors does not need to try to equal the School Board’s cuts. The only easy cuts will come from substantially reducing raises, and nothing is so likely to demoralize the teaching staff as the appearance that their contribution is not valued by the county’s governing body. It seems unlikely the proposal to station teachers' aides on school buses will survive the budget process. Without wandering the aisles while the bus is moving, there is little aides on the buses could do to eliminate the problem ot inappropriate language and behavior anyway. However, parents have a right to expect that their very young children will not be bullied, taunted or exposed to language and behavior unsuited to a school setting. Parents need to work with the school system to see that such things are not tolerated. Letters ■ Get Real To the Editor: Congratulations to all those who participated on the Odyssey of the Mind Team. Your accomplishments, in the face of adversity, were first rate. It is fortunate that Henry Ford and the Wright Brothers did not attend school in Rappahannock because we would still be walking or riding horses as our only modes of transportation. Wait a minute. Scratch the horses, we might fall off. Walking? Better not take the chance, we might trip. To our school administrators I can only say; Get Real. To the Editor: The “Christian” Coalition has promised a million dollars to promote the Gingrich “Contract with America.” It would be hard to find support in Scripture for cutting the capital gains tax, for anti-missile defenses or for term limits. The Coalition has every right to function as part of the right wing of the Republican Party, as it does. It has no right to call itself Christian. The good people who thought they were contributing to a Christian cause have reason to feel cheated. RON MAKELA Amissville Is It Christian?

Progress Defined Strangely By CHRISTOPHER MOYLES Rappahannock News Contributing Writer In the past weeks I have been studying the proposal to place a water treatment plant on the Hazel River just over the county line in Culpeper County. In that short period of time I have learned much about the motivations behind this project. It has become painfully obvious to me that, once again, a rare and non-renewable natural resource is being threatened in the name of “progress." The Hazel River is indeed a rare resource, a water source still pure enough to be one of the 2 percent of U.S. waterways to be listed on the National Inventory of Rivers as a national resource, and to be nominated for the state Tier III status over a year and half prior to the plant application, a status that limits any future effluent released into the watershed, among other things. I he forces at the American Security Council Foundation in Boston, the Culpeper County Planning Commission, and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality also seem to recognize the value of this river, but unfortunately they have a different concept of value. To these groups the river provides convenience, the convenience of supplying a simple way to rid themselves of one of the byproducts of what they consider to be “progress.” Once the effluent has left the development, it is suddenly of no concern to the people who have created it. Unfortunately, these groups do not seem to understand the concept of the water cycle, or perhaps they have chosen to ignore this scientific principle. According to this principle, we all eventually live downstream from the effluent outflow. The results of this convenience and progress have devastating long term effects. On the fact sheet provided by the DEQ at its Feb. 23 public hearing there is a subsection titled “Pollutants Limited.” Under this heading there are various chemical and biological substances that the treatment plant will be mandated to limit by the DEQ. I sense a bit of paradox in this concept. The DEQ recognizes that these things are considered pollutants to a water system, yet the Department chooses to regulate them, in fact allowing these substances to be introduced into a previously untainted water source. Opinion • Compounding this paradox is the fact that most of these plants are self' monitoring. The DEQ often must depend on these private contractors to monitor the levels of these substances. Under public duress, the DEQ in fact rewrote its limits on fecal coliform releases from the proposed plant, so that the Route 522 bridge area downstream from the plant would be supposedly safe for human use, swimming and other water recreation. During the last week I have been pondering this proposed plant and the goal of the Department of Environmental Quality to limit pollutants, as opposed to banning them for effluent release. This has been an especially frustrating concept to me because I have seen many alternative ways of dealing with waste water effluents, such as wetlands filtration systems, that work much more efficiently, providing not only biologically cleaned water, but also an ecosystem that promotes biological diversity and sustainability. 11icic Ul awrnauve, cnvironmentally conscious, projects are what I consider to be “progress.” Allowing up to 450,000 gallons of effluent with a “Limited” amount of pollutants, regulated by the private industry that built the plant, to flow into a previously pristine watershed is not a sign of progress. It is a sign of the status quo politics of “progress” that have led to a slow degradation of the natural resources we all share'. The time has come to redefine “progress” in terms of ecological and, therefore, community sustainability. Part of this redefinition involves questioning the organizations our tax dollars support. Why does the Virginia Department of Water Quality choose to regulate the rate at which we destroy our natural resources? It is obvious to me that the focus of the DF.Q is not to protect natural resources, but to serve as a means for developers to continue to use public resources for their own immediate short term goals. In fact, an anonymous source at the DEQ has said that she/he has been told that his/her job is to issue permits, "above all else.” 1 was lucky enough to grow up in the mountains of Rappahannock County. Even in the short 17 odd years I have lived in and visited this place, I have seen the mountains transformed by the gypsy moths, and the acid rain, abuse and overuse of the parts of the Park, VDOT, and selfish ridge-top development. My generation has been labeled ‘Generation X.” We have had to leam that things are not constant. Raised on Nintendo, the Reagan/Bush years, and the myth of college meaning an instant $75,000 a year job, 2.4 kids ind a two-car garage in the suburbs, it las taken us a while to look beyond jur own immediate desires and gratification. Call us “Generation C” for sometimes a bit confused but continually growing in concern. We are concerned about the legacy of environmental degradation that has been left for us and our children to deal with. We are concerned that bureaucracy has become far too intertwined with the interests of big business and the dominant paradigm of “progress,” at the expense its constituency. 1 Letters Policy The Rappahannock News welcomes contributions from our readers. “Letters to the Editor” is yout forum, the place where you can express your opinion on matters of interest and concern to the community.

Panther Pause By Shannon Eastham Seniors Enjoy 'Trip' ! As the bus pulled away from the high school and headed out for Seven Springs, Pa., many seniors were filled with mixed emotions about their annual “Trip.” ; Some were nervous about being away from home for so long. Many were worried they’d forgotten to pack Some necessary item. And most were thrilled to at last get away from School. . When we finally arrived, there yvasn’t much to see except fog and a few distant lights. We dragged all our luggage food, and equipment into the chalets. Viewing the bunk beds and tows of cots we thought, “This had better not be like summer camp.’’ But Seven Spring quickly became our home. There were many things to do like bowling, miniature golf, swimming, vollyball, health spa, arcades, and roller skating. Most people attempted skiing. Ask Barry Turnmeyer about Goosebumps or Justin Day about his trip down the mountain with the Ski Patrol. The trip had many highlights such as the buffet breakfast. The boys had a good time with their shaving cream and the girls had quich? parties Jessica Arnold and I particularly enjoyed our tour of the swamp undei the chairlift. The best part of the trip was just being together. We would have had fun anywhere because we all got along well and enjoyed each other’s company.

WSA Debates Reserved Rights, Fees By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Water and Sewer Authority held another testy meeting earlier this month without coming up with a longterm solution to the problem of reserved sewer rights. They did approve a procedure for allowing Brian and Rae Ross to hook up their building to the Sperryville treatment plant. The building is their home for now but will become the new location for Mountainside Market. Chairman Eugene Leggett was absent, and Carson Johnson chaired the meeting in his absence. He introduced a motion to use “a strict application of the 1985 ordinance for implementing all requests for additional hookups or EDUs.” The motion was to apply to requests the authority is currently considering and to any future requests. At member Charles K. “Pete” Estes's request the motion was amended to remove future requests from consideration and the motion passed 3 to 1 with Richard Smith voting no. Mr. Smith said the ordinance and Mr. Johnsbn’s motion do not deal with requests for reserved rights. Under the original ordinance hookup fees were $300. However, Mr. Estes s'aid Mr. Ross should only be charged $200 since that was the fee in effect at the time he built his building. Mr. Johnson said all of the other requests for reserved rights should be treated the same. He said he would approach the others who have been wondering about reserved rights and ask them to sign applications and user agreements at the same rate. Mr. Estes said the user agreement should only be for those ready to hook up and that if anyone signed it before that point, the authority could begin billing them for sewer use. He said if the issue is not resolved by the next meeting he will introduce a motion to increase the hook-up fee to several thousand dollars. “It is not fair to current users to subsidize developers," he said. WSA members agreed to pay for rewriting the operations and maintenance manual to allow septage from individual tanks to be hauled to the Remington sewer plant instead of being treated at the plant and then hauled out as sludge to Remington. Mr. Smith reported that plant operator Donna Chabot had asked if the authority would rewrite the ordinance to make it “understandable to the layman.” She also asked the authority to put an electric fence along the road to the plant so she does not have to drive through cow manure to get to the plant, he said. Members said they would look into the issue.

He added, “My children need art in their daily lives.” Bus driver Ruth Young said she would be opposed to having aides on the buses. She said usually problems can be worked out by talking with the parents. When that does not work, she said drivers should have more support when they report misbehavior to the office. “I agree we have a lot more things to use money for than $13,000 for aides on three buses,” she said. Kindergarten teacher Geraldine Payne spoke in favor of raises for teachers. “I love kids,” she said. “If I won the lottery tomorrow, I’d still be here, but these teachers deserve every penny they get.” The board expects to give further consideration to the budget next Tuesday and meet again Tuesday, March 28 to take final action on the Spring Dresses FRESH LOOKS FOR THE SEASON Come to Peebles for a first look at the newest spring dresses in your favorite styles from a variety of names.

M• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY. MARCH 15.1995 Matthews Has Houses Popping Up All Over My timuY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Architect Dwight Matthews has attained that which many strive for in Rappahannock: he has a successful business based in the county where he lives, and no longer has to commute to his job. Two years ago he decided to strike out on his own after doing some local projects while maintaining a full time job with an architectural firm in Harrisonburg. At that firm, Mr. Matthews worked with Ed McClintock for five years. Mr. Matthews said, “He was a tremendous person to work with. We had a great working relationship. I learned from him wh'at I needed to know on the business end and how to deal with people." In that position, Mr. Matthews managed school projects in the Loudoun County, Manassas and Fredericksburg areas. He said that the projects ranged in price from S3 million to $15 million. Mr. Matthews began his architectural career after graduating from VPI. His professors there were mostly European, and his dean at the school was trained by Walter Gropius at Harvard, who established the Bauhaus in Germany. Therefore, Matthews designed this house for Dr. and Mrs. Martin. most of Mr. Matthew’s training at VPI was based on the Bauhaus school of architecture. Mr. Matthews said, “The professors were influenced by the Bauhaus which had nothing to do with tradition. Now 1 am learning a lot of things I did not have a chance to leam in school. Every project is different and interesting.” After VPI, he worked for a while as an assistant to an architectural photographer in New York who did a book on Nelson Rockefeller’s house and gardens. He also was with the Department of Defense for 11 years, in charge of school construction for the department in 19 countries. He spent six years in Germany during the 1980s in that position. When a small building next to his house on U.S. 522 in the village of Flint Hill came up-for sale, his dream of having his own office and workspace near his home became a reality. Now he can be there when his two children, Dorian and Whitney, arrive home from school. With Mr. Matthews at home, his wife Jennifer has been able to follow her dream of pursuing a doctorate in nursing education. She attends classes at George Mason and is an assistant professor of nursing at Shenandoah University’s School of Health Professions. She spends a lot of time on the road, and Mr. Matthews said he does about all the cooking nowadays. The office' renovation included a skylight and bright white walls, which display architectural drawings and photographs of many of the houses Mr. Matthews has designed. The building has had many businesses in it over the years, including a tack shop, thrift shop, and Red Cross station. Along one wall sits his computer, with a CAD (computer aided design) system. . The CAD allows Mr. Matthews to make design changes easily, and can produce isometric drawings showing room dimensions, furniture layout, and so forth. Overlays can be made for the electrical diagram. Mr. Matthews said that most of his clients have a pretty good idea of what they want before they see him. His first drawing is done from 1/4” to 1 ’ scale. Next, the site plan is done. Spring Brings Live Theatre New Plays Will Be Based On Real Life By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Spring is bursting out in live theater in Rappahannock. Next weekend there will be performances of Open Theatre Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The afternoon session is for children and their families. Open Theatre showcases the talents of many Rappahannock people in short performances that range from one-person monologues to a fairly large improvisation troop. The cost for either performance is S7 for adults and $3 for children under 12. For reservations call Ki Theatre at 6751616. Also on tap next weekend is the county B and B-sponsored opportunity to take part in a murder mystery over dinner. With a $65 ticket, participants will not only receive a four course dinner but the opportunity to assume one of the roles in the mystery. For more information call 6753757. The following weekend “My Sister’s Sister,” a new play written by Julie Portman, previews at Ki Theatre at 8 p.m. on Saturday April 1. Performed by Ms. Portman with a music score composed and played by Paul Riesler of Trapezoid, “My Sister’s Sister” completes a trilogy of plays about an idiosyncratic 20th century American family. Inspired by Ms. Portman’s own family, the first two plays in the series, “Katie Malone” and “How Dad Created The World” have been performed more than 200 times at venues that range from the Festival of Atlanta tQ the French Cultural center in Nairobi, Kenya. As the final play in the American Family series, “My Sister’s Sister” is a self-portrait that looks across the boundaries of two siblings — their life choices and their imaginings — one sister an artist, the other schizophrenic. Tickets for the one night only performance are $10. They are available by calling Ki Theatre at 675-1616. Tickets can be purchased locally at Mountainside Market in Washington. The weekend after that on April 7 Little Devils Stars Hike Set Sunday As part of the continuing series of community hikes sponsored by the Ragged Mountain Resource Center there will be a hike this Sunday, March 19 up Little Devils Stairs. Hikers may meet at the Resource Center on Main Street next to the field by the Health Department at 10 a.m. or meet at the parking area at the end of Route 614 for departure at 10:30 a.m. Hikers should bring layered cloth ing, sturdy footgear, and food for themselves, preferably in a small pack. Return time will be between 3 and 4 p.m. If anyone is interested in participating or for further information about this hike and other outdoor activities, call the Ragged Mountain Resource Center at 675-1879. The next hike is set for April 15 to the Hazel River area around Hazel Mountain. and 8 Wakefield Country Day School will present its spring musical comedy “Murders of 1940.” Performances are at 8 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights. Tickets are $2.50 for adults and $1 for children. The following weekend April 14 and 15 Laurie Marshall will premier her “Stories from the Dust in the Corner” at the RCHS auditorium at 7:30p.m. both evenings. Ms. Marshall said her play is “based on the concept that the human spirit is renewable as the consistently reappearing dust in the comer.” It is structured around three experiences with death— being taken by surprise by it, making peace with it and fighting it, as reflected by the lives of Mythli Nakkiran of India, who was accidentally killed in a fire; of the author’s mother, Alice Marshall, who embraced the end of her life boldly; and of Amira Skaljic, a Moslem woman from Bosnia who valiantly fought caner. “Interwoven with their stories are songs, poems and images that humorously explore our relationship with dust and celebrate our common journey from birth to death,” Ms. Marshall said. Slides of Ms. Marshall’s portraits, landscapes, dreamscapes apd religious imagery are an integral part of the performance. Brooms also play a key role, as they are used to sweep, to mourn, to fight, to fly and to dance. Students at Rappahannock County High School are planning a production of “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams. The date has not been chosen but will be “sometime in May” according to director Cindy Cummins. Finally in June The Theatre will present Tana Hicken in “The Belle of Amherst” June 17. This one-woman show traces the life of Emily Dickinson from her emergence as a poet at the youthful age of 15 to her death at 56, a recluse from Amherst society. This plan puts the building in its surrounding environment, showing landscaping and other buildings. He provides a detailed set of working plans so that contractors can easily figure out their bids for the construction. He said that he tries as hard as he can to keep the rural character in projects he works on. He said, “I am not wedded to any one style. I enjoy doing things very traditional, looking at them in a modern way.” The houses he has designed in Rappahannock County show his versatility and ability to work with clients’ wishes. The house he did for Dr. Jerry Martin and his wife Mary Beth is in the Jeffersonian style. Dr. Werner Krebser’s new home is a mixture of stone and tudor. He designed a large addition for a Victorian house known as Belle Meade, owned by Susan Hoffman and Michael Biniek in the F.T. Valley, which is now a bed and breakfast and site of a summer camp. He also built a separate kitchen at the Conyers House to match the original building which dates back to the 1700s. An addition at the Foster-Harris House in Washington which is presently under construction is also Mr. Matthew’s design. The Rappahannock County Library was his design too. Mr. Matthews often works on three or four projects at a time, and said that most of his clients come from referrals from former clients. Most are in Rappahannock County, though he does some work in surrounding counties. Mr. Matthews will be participating in the Fourth Annual Piedmont Virginia Home Show which will take place on March 25 at the Floyd Binns School in Culpeper. w —.
