Following a public hearing, the council also voted to approve a special use permit for Joyce Kramer to convert her house between Main and Gay Streets near the Clopton House to retail use. Mrs. Kramer said she is trying to rent the house and wants to advertise it as zoned for retail as well as residential use. She does not yet have a tenant with any specific retail use for the property, and no renovations of the building requiring a building permit are planned. The area for retail use would be the lower floor, a total of 640 square feet. The zoning ordinance requires three off-street parking spaces for such a use. The council agreed to require her to reserve space for the parking spaces but not to put them in yet. Attorney Frank Reynolds noted that two existing on-street parking spaces would be eliminated to provide access to the three off-street parking spaces. A large tree would have to be removed also. Although most members of the council expressed reservations about approving the special use permit without knowing what sort of retail use might be made of the building, the motion to approve the permit passed unanimously. The council agreed to review the situation in two years to see if it is necessary to require the off-street parking. A study of parking in town shows that there is adequate parking except when court is in session. Most residents do not want to reduce the green See Council, Page A-8 Rappahannock News File Photo There is quite a crowd at the start of the race in Flint Hill.

Public Meeting To Be Held for Road Plan By BOB SHERWOOD and MELINDA ALEXANDER Rappahannock News Contributing Writers The Board of Supervisors has scheduled a public forum on roads for May 1 at 7 p.m. at the Courthouse. This is a follow up to anfarlier ptitjlic meeting in March on proposals presented to the supervisors and Planning Commission members, as well as the public, by Kellerco, a traffic-growth consulting firm.. The supervisors and planners had received parts of the report in December. Kellerco contracted with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission (PD9) to produce such reports for all the counties in the planning district. At the March meeting Richard Keller of Kellerco projected traffic increases by the year 2010 that could necessitate the following changes in Rappahannock County roads: • Widening U.S. 211 to six lanes between Washington and Sperryville. • Widening U.S. 522 to four lanes from Flint Hill to Chester Gap with upgrades from Massies Comer to Flint Hill, and possible four-laning of U.S. 522 from Sperryville to Culpeper, with bypasses around Flint Hill, Sperryville and Woodville. • Upgrading Routes 621 and 729 to make them major access corridors. • Adding several stop lights and overpasses throughout the county, including Massies Comer. The study foresees U.S. 522 as a major truck route from 1-81 in Front Royal to Charlottesville, Richmond, and the Hampton Roads area. Many residents were surprised by the timing of the report — scarcely months after the completion of the four-laning project on U.S. between Washington and Sperryville. -, About 40 county residents — most opposed to further road widening — were on hand for Richard Keller’s presentation of the report at the March public meeting on the future of the county’s roads. Although Mr. Keller is in the business of proposing where to build more roads, he did make efforts to sound sympathetic to See Roads, Page A-8 Road Work Ahead? A plan proposed by Kellerco would widen U.S. 522, and run by-pass roads around Sperryville, Woodville and Flint Hill, along with improving other roads. |^J/VashingtoivConnecto^ Planned New Road **•* Major Arterial Road — Minor Arterial Road — Major Collector Road - Scenic Highway/Byway 4 Sperryville Bypass w r s Woodville By-Pass fc..,,.— ,.,. ■■■■in.,——«li n „ ■ ii —.... ■ ■ ■■■■—■ , .... — ■ ******.... ■ ■■■.. ... -.. ... n .— ***** Data Sources: Ketterco - Future Highway System Options, VDOT Highway Maps Rappahannock News Graphic/John Bretschneider

Sisk Assault Charge Sent to Grand Jury By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer After a preliminary hearing in General District Court on Tuesday, the court decided that a malicious wounding charge against Roy Wayne Sisk, 31, of Sperryville, will go to the Grand Jury on May 8. The Grand Jury will then decide if Mr. Sisk should be indicted for the felony, and if so, the case would then be heard in Circuit Court. Mr. Sisk was charged with malicious wounding after an incident at the 211 Quicke Mart that took place around 1 a.m. on December 31, 1994. According to witnesses at the preliminary hearing, he allegedly struck Ernie Fletcher twice, at least once with brass knuckles in the back of the head; the blows knocked Mr. Fletcher to the ground. Mr. Fletcher died of unknown causes in March. An autopsy was performed on him in Washington, D.C., but the results have not yet been received. Michael Joseph Starks, who was with Mr. Fletcher that night, testified at the hearing that he and Mr. Fletcher had gone to the 211 Quicke Mart for some food. Inside the store, he said that Roy Wayne Sisk approached him and asked if he knew his brother and if he had said anything about his brother. Mr. Sfarks responded that he did not know his brother. Then, said Mr. Starks, Mr. Sisk went to talk with Ernie. Mr. Starks said he then saw Mr. Sisk walk outside. “I told Ernie to just get in the car,” said Mr. Starks. “1 made it to the car and he didn’t; 1 don’t know why he stopped/’ He then said that he saw Mr. Sisk walk up to Mr. Fletcher and throw two blows, one to the back of the head, and then another when he was going down. Mr. Fletcher did not fight hack. Mr. Starks said, “When I jumped out of the car 1 saw he had brass knuckles in his left hand....He (Mr. Sisk) said, 'Yeah, M F_, 1 got a gun!”’ Mr. Starks determined that Mr. Sisk did not have a gun, but Mr. Sisk chased him around the car a couple of times while Ernie sat inside the car. At that time Deputy Connie Compton arrived from the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office. She called the rescue squad and Mr. Fletcher was taken to Fauquier Hospital. Mr. Starks said, “I knew he was try ing to pick a fight when he asked me about his brother. I heard Ernie say, “I don’t want to fight you. I know you can beat me.” After Mr. Sisk hit Mr. Fletcher, said Mr. Starks, he could hardly move, and he was bleeding. Deputy Compton testified that Mr. Sisk had been drinking and was running his mouth quite a bit. She asked Mr. Sisk why he hit Mr. Fletcher and he told her that he had hit him with his fist but not with brass knuckles. Deputy Compton said that when she arrived, Pete Aylor was also there after the rescue squad arrived and asked Mr. Sisk why he had hit Ernie. She said Mr. Sisk said to Mr. Aylor, "You want some of this white boy? Bring your black a_over here.” Mary Pearson, a clerk who was working at the 211 Quicke Mart the morning of Dec. 31, testified that she called the Sheriffs Office before the fight ensued, after she saw Mr. Sisk arguing with Mr. Starks. She said, “I saw Mr. Sisk hit Ernie twice and Ernie hit the ground.” Dr. Donald Graham, who treated Mr. Fletcher at the Fauquier Hospital emergency room, testified that he treated him for a scalp laceration on the back of the head which required three or four stitches, and that X-rays showed that he also had a fractured scapula and rib. He also said that Mr. Fletcher was alert and had not lost consciousness. After hearing all the testimony, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that a dangerous weapon had been used with malice inferred, and asked that the case be given to the Grand Jury. Judge Charles Foley agreed, and set the case to be certified to the Grand Jury on May 8 at 10 a.m. Mr. Sisk is free on bond, but was cautioned by Mr. Luke to have no contact with any witnesses or the family of Ernie Fletcher. Judge Foley also told him that the Commonwealth may have additional charges against him, pending the results of the autopsy. The charge of malicious wounding against Oscar Ray Sisk, 33, of Washington, was dropped. He was with Roy Wayne Sisk the night in question, but witnesses said.that he was not involved in the assault. i General District Court The charge against Kevin Reid LeVans of Sperryville looked simple enough in General District Court on Tuesday: Driving Under the Influence — second offense in five years. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke urged the court to look at “what we have to do to protect the public. The Commonwealth would like to focus on the point that a person has to learn to be responsible for his own actions.” The rest of the story was drawn out from Mr. LeVans by his attorney, Douglas Baumgardner, and by Judge Charles Foley. He admits to a drinking problem that goes back 25 years. The current DUI charge was the fourth since 1981. This time his blood alcohol level was measured at .15. “I have quit drinking in the past because other people wanted me to, not because I thought I needed to,” he said from the witness chair. He is currently in yet another alcohol treatment program, this one at Fauquier Hospital. Another part of Mr. LeVans’ problem is four children, ranging in age from 18 months to 10 years. He is the sole support for his family. “There is no way my wife can work,” he said. “Child care costs would take everything she could make.” In finding Mr. LeVans guilty, Judge Foley said, “Sometimes people need to have the roof fall in and force them to crawl through the gutter to get out before they decide they do not want to be there any more.” “I won’t go into why, but I am very familiar with the disease of alcoholism,” he added. The judge then fined Mr. LeVans $500, with $200 suspended, and sentenced him to 12 months in jail, with eight days to serve, on weekends. He also suspended Mr. LeVans’ license for three years, although he will be eligible for a restricted license through VASAP after four months. The judge also ordered Mr. LeVans to continue his counseling program and any aftercare program that may be suggested to him. The following other court cases were heard in the Rappahannock General District Court on Tuesday, April 18: Susan B. Fitzgerald, possession of marijuana, continued to June 13.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rep. Frank Wolf, left, talks with John Schultz at the Washington Post Office. ‘ Rep. Wolf Admits Emotions Are Mixed on Term Limits By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News StaIT Writer - As the 104th Congress neared the end of its historic first 100 days, the new Republican majority was tired but buoyed by the success of its “Contract with America,” according to Congressman Frank R. Wolf, ' With the exception of federal term limits, every item in the “contract” has passed the House of Representatives. And term limits aren’t dead, Rep. Wolf said. Depending on the outcome of a Supreme Court decision expected this summer, legislation may be introduced to allow each state to set its own term limits. The prospect of such a patchwork of differing term limits may put greater pressure on Congress to pass a uniform federal limit. The eight-term Republican, who would have been forced from Congress four years ago under the proposed new limits, admitted he doesn’t completely agree with the concept of limiting representation by statute. He said he had promised to vote for term limits, and felt an “obligation to. keep that promise.” Second, he had agreed to support the “Contract with America,” and term limits was one of its tenets. “I don’t necessary think it’s the panacea that people think it is.” There has already been tremendous turnover in the Congress, he noted, with more than half the Republican caucus elected since 1992. • ‘ - The veteran representatives, who are seen as icons of entrenched incumbency by the critics of unlimitBREEDENS PLANT HOUSE Flower iV ^ HOURS* Vegetable Bedding^ 8 Plants MCX • Perennials • Hanging Baskets • House Plants • Herts • Geraniums • Miniature Roses DIRECTIONS: From Spcrryvilk.Uke Rl 231. south 10 miles, turn let! on 642. go 1H miles. 703-923-4381 ed terms, bring a collective wisdom to the Congress that would be missed if they were forced to leave. “When we had to vote on Desert Storm or Desert Shield — the first time I had to vote to send young people into harm’s way — the most compelling arguments were made by people who served in World War II. “If you have a Congress made up of just people who have been there for two, four or six years, you will lose the wisdom.” He cited the eloquent argument of Rep. Henry Hyde, D-New York, who during the floor debate suggested the analogy of lawmaking to brain surgery, and asked if the patient would prefer a surgeon with experience or one who had just begun working. “Experience does count for a lot,” Rep. Wolf said. Much of the push for term limits, he said,, was the result of the animosity built up during the 40 years of Democratic control of the House, and the arrogance displayed by its leaders. The real key to limiting the power of incumbents, Rep. Wolf said, will be campaign finance reform. If politiAndrew L. Stone, O.D.

Though such reforms have been overwhelmingly defeated in the past, Rep. Wolf predicted they have a better chance this session. It would be “a mistake," he said, for the 104th Congress to adjourn without reforming campaign financing. Congress is changing, Rep. Wolf said, and the new Republican majority recognizes that the public expects fiscal restraint, even when it affects hometown projects. That was true, he said, when he voted to cut $4 million from the Air and Space Museum planned at Dulles Airport, in his district. “That’s not a program that is so fundamental to people’s lives. That’s not a feeding program, it isn’t a cancer cure program. It’s a building, and I want to see it done someday, and I think it will.” Forced to make a choice between programs that affect people and those that involve bricks and mortar, Rep. Wolf said, “I’d be inclined to go with people programs.” Literacy Branch Gets Grant By LEE BIRD lUpptklRMck Ncwi C—kributif Writer The County’s local literacy group, LVA Rappahannock, received the welcome news last week that the 7Eleven Store has awarded it a “People Who Read Achieve” literacy grant in the amount of $2,000. This is the third such grant that the literacy group has received in as many years. The previous awards have been used for the purchase of two IBMcompatible computers, related equipment and software, which is helpful, not only for learners seeking to develop their reading skills or obtain a high school equivalency certificate (GED), but also for those who aim at improving their job skills by becoming familiar with the use of computers. The present award will permit the literacy volunteers to purchase a Macintosh computer, similar to those used in the public schools here, conversion software, and other equipment. Our aim is to offer a program of one-on-one instruction, using conventional textbooks, supplemented with interactive computer teaching aids. The latter materials are effective in leading the student over familiar ground, first explaining the subject matter, then testing and correcting the students on the results, so that the instructional response is immediate. It goes without saying that out tutors are learning too. Most of us are, after all, antediluvian — bom and raised long before the overwhelming flood of modem cybernation swept over us.

These figures are for the 1993-94 school year and were compiled by Director of Pupil Personnel Margarita Piper as part of the required report she submits to the state each year on the special education programs at the schools. According to Mrs. Piper the cost for a regular education student in the elementary school was $4,070 last year, and the cost for a regular education student in the high school was $5,872. The cost for a special education student in the elementary school was $7,575, and the cost for a special education student in the high school was $8,350. “Regular education money is spent on all students, including special education students as regular classes are available to special education students whenever they can handle mainstream subjects,” Mrs. Piper said. “They are maintreamed for all non-academics and for academics to the highest degree possible,” she added. To get the figures Mrs. Piper had to go through the accounts of how much money was spent in almost every category last year. Most figures for federal aid are subtracted from expenditures, on instructions from the state. Then these numbers are divided by the number of students in regular and special education at each school to get the per pupil figures. Our Spectacular Plants & Herbs Have Arrived!

With the Fodderstack 1 OK Classic scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, prize winners should be announced about the same time as activities are supposed to start at the Ben Venue Earth Day Kite Fly. Early afternoon also brings many activities at the Washington Baptist Church. In the meantime Saturday is also supposed to kick off the RAA baseball season. The evening offers a choice of the Miss Rappahannock Pageant at the Rappahannock County Elementary School, the major fundraiser for the Sperryville Rescue Squad, or a concert at The Theatre in Washington. For reasons that are not clear almost every organization in the county seems to favor the weekend after a major holiday for its events. Perhaps some day they will come to realize that not everyone wants to leave the county on holidays, and schedule some more activities for those weekends. In the meantime the Rappahannock News urges its readers to take in as much of this Saturday’s events as possible but save some energy for the Habitat for Humanity “Wrap-up Weekend” April 29 and 30. Lottery Funds The debate about which political party would do the most to provide lottery funds for education has become annoying. Gov. George Allen and Del. Jay Katzen are correct in saying that the Van Landingham bill did not provide any new funds for education, but merely stated it was the assembly’s intent that all lottery proceeds should go to education. Since the state sends more than the total of lottery profits to the localities as “basic state aid” for education, the bill merely relabeled part of those funds as coming from the lottery. The governor’s proposal introduced for the veto session would have provided an added $15 for localities to be spent for education, law enforcement or to reduce local taxes. Gov. Allen also submitted a list of items that would have to be cut from state spending plans to achieve that goal. The assembly kept a few of the cuts but did not adopt the proposal for additional funds to the localities. In Rappahannock’s case it was so little additional money, it hardly matters. For several localities the net result would have been a decrease in state funding. It is quite true that these lottery funds could have been used to reduce taxes rather than increase funding for education. The constantly increasing burden of local taxes on residents for education and other state required mandates is precisely why localities have^_ been asking for a portion of lottery funds. f school Budget meeVhg!

IjLetters to the Editor Use Lottery For Education To the Editor: Jay Katzen ought to stick to the facts with regard to funding our local schools using lottery money. Mr. Katzen last week used his space in the Rappahannock News to rail against Democrats, but made questionable arguments and used deceptive facts to make his point. At issue in his article was the debate over where lottery funds go: to local communities or to education. Mr. Katzen tells you that Democrats blocked proceeds to communities and supported instead proceeds for education. Let the record be clear, public education is local. The Democrats’ program (Van Landingham bill) earmarks 100 percent lottery funds for education and sends this money directly to the communities specifically dedicated for public education. That means almost $150 million will go to localities for smaller classrooms, more computers, at-risk programs and to address disparity. This is new money for education. Under Governor Allen’s plan, which Mr. Katzen supports, the lottery funds would have been up for grabs for localities and not one dollar was guaranteed for education. Under the Democratic plan, education funds cannot be altered by the whims of a Governor or a General Assembly — they are locked into the code. Remember, Governor Allen tried to cut public education by $52 million, cut higher education by $40 million and wanted to throw $500,000 at Mr. Kaizen’s untested charter school social experiment was well as tried in vain to eliminate dropout prevention. The facts are that the vote on the Van Landingham bill (HB 2542, Virginia Omnibus Education Act of 1995) was 96 yeas to 2 nays, — that is all Democrats and 96 percent of voting Republicans voted for the bill which earmarks 100 percent of the lottery funds for education. Only Mr. Katzen and Minority Leader Wilkins voted nay. That is hardly a partisan vote by Democrats alone! What the vote clearly says is that Mr. Katzen not only failed to vote with his colleagues, but he voted with his patron, Governor Allen; again without regard to the issues or the interests of his District. Neither Democrats or Republicans are out-of-step with the voters on this important issue. It is Mr. Katzen. The recent veto session again confirmed the wisdom of dedicating lottery money for public education. As the race for the 31st District House of Delegates begins it is important that Mr. Katzen stick to the facts and not confuse voters. SUE SCHEER Candidate for 31 st District Keep 'Christy' On the Air To the Editor: In this day and time where our children are bombarded with so much negative influence on TV, there are a few shows still left that are fit to watch. One is “Christy” on CBS. This show made its debut last Easter and was the highest rated show for Easter that CBS has ever had. CBS was showered with millions of letters from viewers singing the praises of this new and wonderful family show. Despite all this, CBS is considering not having “Christy” in this Fall season line-up. They will air two more shows, Saturday, April 22 and Saturday, April 29 and then a decision will be made. If you have never watched, please try to catch it this week or next, and if you do like this show and want to keep it on the air, please drop a line asking CBS to please keep it in their fall line-up. You can write to Peter Tortorici, President, CBS Entertainment at 780 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, Ca. 90036 or 51 West 52nd St., NY, NY 10019 or call (213) 852-2200. Let the networks know that we as concerned parents are demanding better programming for ourselves and our children. C.S. OWENS Sperryville 2D or Not 2D To the Editor: Reading the Rappahannock News is sometimes a frustrating experience. That’s especially true when the story requires the use of hyphens. In the Rappahannock News, a hyphen is not a hyphen. It is a 2D. Thus, in last week’s issue, the Water and Sewer Authority voted to hire a part2Dtime worker, and agreed to reserve sewer rights for a two2Dstory building on Route 211, as well as for a four2Dbay auto repair shop. This occurred just before the WSA voted to charge one2Dhalf the regular rate for reserved sewer rights. Perhaps the newspaper needs a part2Dtime proof2Dreader. Or per haps the full2Dtime editor needs to pay more attention to the little2Dnoticed typographical errors that the newspaper’s computer appears to be spreading, willy2Dnilly, throughout the paper. How dreadfully confusing it will be if you ever have to report on the local showing of a 3D2Dmovie. These hyphen2Dinduced errors Simply must stop, or 1 will ,go stark2Draving mad. - • JAMES P.

KOSTMAYER EPA Administrator Region III Philadelphia Back in 1970, our children’s health was endangered by the lead in gasoline. The pesticide DDT threatened to wipe out the American Bald Eagle. And, raw sewage was routinely dumped into our rivers and streams. Private citizens demanded action. So, they started a national movement that began with a huge teach-in on something they called Earth Day. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Earth Day. And we have much to celebrate. We’ve taken the lead out of gasoline. Shad are returning to the Delaware River. Bay grasses are growing again in the Chesapeake Bay. The skies over Pittsburgh are visible again. Gone are the oil sheens in the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland that once burst into flames. We’re even returning contaminated Superfund sites back to productive commercial use. These types of improvements are large-scale. They can be traced to lough state and federal regulations imposed on industry. But environmental protection is tot just about the pollution that comes from factories. It is about the actions that each of us takes in our everyday lives. On this Earth Day Silver Anniversary, we need to catch the spirit of those first private citizens and commit ourselves to a personal, hands-on approach to environmental protection. Water Did you know that the No. 1 threat to water quality in this country is no longer industrial pollution? It’s nonpoint source pollution — or runoff. Runoff carries the debris of our daily lives into streams, rivers and oceans, and through groundwater. So don’t dump antifreeze or used motor oil on the ground or in the storm sewer. Don’t pour toxic house- ' hold cleaning products down your drain. Limit your use of pesticides and fertilizers this Spring. All these pollutants will eventually runoff into the nearest watershed. Try not to waste the clean water that we have. Shutting off the sink while you brush your teeth can save four gallons each time. Wait until the dishwater or clothes washer are full before you run them. Take brief showers and baths. And, amazingly, a leaky toilet can waste 50 gallons a day; fix that leak, or, better yet, install a new low-flush toilet and save over 7,000 gallons a year. Air Did you know that the No. 1 threat to air quality in this country is no longer industrial pollution? It’s driving our cars. Car emissions produce carbon monoxide and ozone, the precursors to smog. Ride a bike. Take public transportation. Join or form your own car or van pool. If you must drive, do several errands in one trip. And make sure your car’s inspection is up to date. Lead If your home was built before 1978, chances are the walls were painted with lead paint. (Lead in paint was banned in 1978.) The greatest source of lead exposure is lead paint dust, created when paint is peeling or chalking from the opening and closing of windows and doors. We now know that even the tiniest traces of lead in a child’s blood can cause brain and nervous system damage — especially in very young children who get lead dust on their hands and then put their fingers in their mouths. ... • So, if your home was built before 1978, and you child is under the age of 6, have his or her blood tested for lead. If the level is high, there are steps you can take to minimize exposure. Dust surfaces often. Wash children’s hands often. Do not attempt ito remove lead paint yourself. Ydu could make the problem worse. " T rash It’s not enough to recycle newspapers, glass and cans. You must complete the recycling circle by purchasing products that are manufactured from recycled materials. Without a market demand for recycled products, recycling efforts are futile. Start or join a local clean-up on Earth Day. Many grass roots organizations mobilize communities to pick up trash in local parks and along riverbanks. Get involved. . • ; Education Finally, the best way to celebrate this Anniversary is to teach your children environmental values. By making every day Earth Day, they -vVill paSs on a legacy of environmental protection for generations to come. <

Sports Teams Experience Mixed Success By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writers Eddie Sause scored all four goals for the RCHS soccer team in their game against Warren Co. on April 11, winning it 4-1. This brings their stats to 4-1-1 for -the season. Coach Uli Maeyet said that two of Eddie’s goals were scored on penalty kicks, and the other two were regular goals. Going into the half, he said, the score was 3-0. Feeling very confident that RCHS would win, Coach Maeyer put in the players off his bench during the last 20 minutes of the game. “We played very solid,” he said. • Their next game will be played at Quantico this Monday; their next home game is against Quantico on May 3 at 5 p.m. The RCHS track team has had another week without a meet. Last Wednesday’s meet, which was to be held at Stonewall Jackson, was cancelled due to lightning and thunder. There were scheduled to participate in a meet at Brentsville Wednesday. On Monday they are scheduled to compete at Randolph Macon Academy at 4 p.m. The softball team picked up one win, one loss, and one narrow escape in the past week, while the baseball team added three defeats. In games at George Mason last Tuesday, the softball team won 23 to 16 while the baseball team lost 10 to 1. ♦ Cyndi Welch pitched for the softball team striking out four. The Panther squad had big innings in the fifth, sixth and seventh. Angie Atkins and Amy Payne had three singles each; Cyndi Welch had two singles; Cari Kerr had two doubles and a single; Kylene Wolfe had a home run and tvso singles, and Courtney Welch had a triple and a single. The baseball team played “pretty good defense with only one error,” Coach Jason Gouchenour said. Unfortunately the pitchers had a hard time and six of George Mason’s 10 runs came from walks. At home against Stonewall Jackson Thrusday evening both teams lost with the softball team losing 7 to 6 and the baseball team losing 8 to 3. Coach Gpuchenour said the team was plagued with “bad luck.” The team hit pretty well but too many hits went right to Stonewall’s fielders, he said. Also too many hits came with two outs. “These two-out rallies soon get killed,” he said. Meanwhile the softball team was letting errors pile up. Stonewall got its seven runs with just two hits. On Monday the teams faced Brentsville in games with rain falling throughout. The baseball team lost 12 to 0 in a game called because of weather after five innings. The softball team was behind 11 to 3 in the bottom of the fifth. Rappahannock managed to get its first two batters on base when the umpires decided to call the game because of the rain.

Friends of Bull Run Inc. (info on walk only 253.5501) In cooperation with the Institute for Environmental StudiesAirlie Foundation Landowners Warned About Invasive Alien Plants ; .% % The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is issuing a warning to homeowners and gardeners about two invasive nonnative plants — purple loosestrife and mile-a-minute weed. Both of these plants can take over an area in a short time, choking out native vegetation and destroying habitat. Mile-a-minute weed was discovered in Virginia in the fall of 1994 in Rappahannock and Hanover counties and the area around Reston. Mile-a-minute weed, also known as Devil’s Tail and Tearthumb, is a vine that is covered with many small curved barbs on the stem and the triangular-shaped leaves. Its small white flowers are inconspicuous, but the seeds are a brilliant iridescent blue. An annual that reseeds itself easily, sometimes producing two generations in a year, it favors disturbed environments such as roadsides, stream banks, and edges of wooded areas. Its rapid growth, often 25 feet in a season, makes it a very successful competitor for habitat. It prefers sunny areas, and like most invasive species, colonizes bare soil areas. Mile-a-minute weed, which comes from Eastern Asia, may have been introduced into the U.S. with Home Fixup Loan Funds Available Rural Economic and Community Development (RECD), formerly Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) has loan funds available in our 504 Loan Program.

Since it has no natural enemies, the best control is prevention. Suggested methods include mowing the edges of wooded areas, enriching soil in gardens, mulching soil areas not planted, cultivating the soil areas not mulched or planted, hand pulling weeds and disposing of them instead of composting them, using a line trimmer for clearing areas that cannot be mowed, or using native species that compete with exotic species whenever possible. A chemical control such as a glyphosate herbicide can be used in the spring, when be reapplied in the middle of the growing season for total eradication. Mile-a-minute weed is a nuisance and a threat to other vegetation. If you observe the weed on your property or in public areas, notify the local Office of Plant Protection of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, or call (804) 7863515. Purple loosestrife is a prolific seed producer that readily sprouts from cut-off stems, underground roots, and plant fragments. Several purple-flowered stalks can grow from a single plant, each stalk producing between 100,000 and 300,000 seeds. It can survive and multiply in many soil types and moisture conditions. It infests habitats such as wet meadows, pasture wetlands, cattail marshes, stream and river banks, lake shores, irrigation ditches, drainage ditches, and stormwater retention basins. Purple loosestrife harms wetlands by crowding out native plants such as cattail and bulrush, and by eliminating nutritional food sources and shelter for wildlife. When conditions are right, a small isolated cluster of loosestrife plants can spread and cover a marsh in just one growing season, impacting wildlife such as waterfowl, muskrat, beaver, marsh birds, shorebirds, raptors, songbirds, amphibians and reptiles, and dquatic insects. The plants can choke natural and artificial waterways, slowing natural flows and promoting the deposit of silt, which causes long-term water quality degradation and requires costly maintenance. The plant was sold for years as an ornamental garden plant. When its invasive tendencies became known, many nursery started selling a “sterile” domestic variety based on the theory that it would not propagate or spread. This domestic variety is com patible with wild varieties, however, and may reproduce when it crosses with a wild variety. Therefore, state plant protection officials advise gardeners not to buy purple loosestrife in any form, even those plants labeled r “sterile.” Accurate identification should be made before undertaking control measures such as hand pulling. Pulled plants should be burned, not composted. A glyphosate herbicide like “Roundup” may be used for spot application to control individuals or small clusters of plants. Anyone discovering the plant on their property or in public areas should notify the local Office of Plant Protection. Mile-a-minute weed \( Purple loosestrife ARB Holds Heated Meeting By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The three applications which were approved at last week’s ARB meeting took up just a small amount of the tipie of the actual meeting. The meeting began with an application from George Samoszenko, who lives on Piedmont Street, to replace a bathroom window with an 18” x 18” octagonal window. That application was approved without an argument, but ARB Chairman Donna Kevis chose to discuss with him another window which he said he replaced without ARB approval. She said, “Your first application was about replacing all the windows to unify the house into one window style. That i The Perfect Gift ...Anytime “On The Morning Side Of The Blue Ridge” tells the story of Rappahannock County and its people The soft-bound book includes old photographs and special articles which appeared each month of the 1983 sesquicentennial year in the fcawaiyinnocki^ plus stories of historical interest from past years.

It is supposed to be true divided lights.” “The ARB has decided that windows should be true divided lights. If we let you slide then what about the next one? You promised they would be replaced with true divided lights. You fibbed,” said Mrs. Kevis. Mr. Samoszenko replied, “We are missing something here. You are bringing up something I did not apply for.” He said that he had mixed types of windows in his house. New ARB member Charles Eldred said that he did not find anything about “true divided lights” in the ordinance. ARB member Ed Barton said, “The spirit of what we are looking at is, are the windows in keeping with the house? There are three different styles so which one do you pick?” He said that he thought the remedy would be for Mr. Samoszenko to put in another application and the ARB approve it. Mrs. Kevis said that Mr. Samoszenko could take an application home and fill it out so that it could be clipped to the original one and then it would be over and done with.

I will make sure 1 know my windows from now on.” Mary Ann Kuhn’s application for construction of a three-board fence across the front of her property was passed unanimously. The bed and breakfast to be opened there will be known as The Middleton Inn, she said. About the only discussion came from Ed Barton, who suggested that she use a white stain on her fence instead of painting it white. The third application, a sign painted by Hank Watkins for Charlotte Taylor for Chrysalis Gallery, was also approved unanimously, without much discussion. Mr. Barton said that some signs in town need to be repaired or be redone. Mr. Eldred said that by logic business owners should be self-policing, that it is only common sense to keep the signs in shape. The board decided to have Bet Gehringer in the County Administrator’s Office send a form letter to all businesses in town with signs. Fran Eldred asked if the board had had their required yearly election. ARB member Patrick O’Connell said that they had the election early in the year. Mrs. Kevis had been elected chairman at that meeting by unanimous vote., he said. Mrs. Eldred told Mrs. Kevis that • she had people come into her office complaining about Mrs. Kevis’s job as chairman of the ARB. She called her argumentative, and carried on for quite a while.

Easter Tradition Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Crystal Stuart and Raven Baker joined in an Easter egg hunt for children from the Sperryville United Methodist Church at Margaret Ann Wayland’s house. I ► Council From Page A-l spaces in the heart of town to provide off-street parking. Mayor Willis reported on his meeting with the WSA on an agreement to share the services of the Sperryville sewer plant operator for testing town water. He said some members had reservations. The WSA had agreed in a telephone conference to charge the town $30 per day for the service for 90 days, and then review the situation to see if the charge was fair to the town and the WSA, Chairman Eugene Leggett reported. Mayor Willis noted that the council has $7,800 in its budget for a town employee to work on the water system. The agreement with the county will cost about $3,000 more and the town will still need an employee to read meters and for repairs to the system, he said. Treasurer Tom Zumwalt urged council members to accept the agreement with the county and WSA. “This is not a responsibility to be taken lightly,” he said. He noted that J the Sperryville plant operator is licensed and qualified for the testing. “In the long run it will be less expensive to the town,” he said. If instead the town tried to do it with its own employee it would be months before the water treatment plant could be running he said. “I strongly recommend we go with the county to test the water and get the plant going,” he said. Member Peter Skowronski agreed, “I think that’s a deal,” he said. The motion to accept the agreement was approved unanimously. Steve Critzer reported that the town Planning Commission had met and reviewed the definition of aggrieved party and other definitions in the zoning and historic district ordinances. He urged a joint work session with the council and planning commission to go over suggested changes. The council agreed to such a joint meeting Friday, April 21. Mr. Zumwalt submitted budget reports. As of mid April the town had received $93,900 of an anticipated $124,000 in revenue, and spent $74,000 of an anticipated $124,750. The budget for the waterworks shows $38,355 of $52,000 received and $38,500 spent of $52,050. The waterworks received a loan from the town to cover the difference. ► Roads From Page A-l the “no new roads” mood of the meeting: “You can put a different spin on highway planning and prevent future traffic congestion. You can manage access and reduce infrastructure costs,” he said. He also suggested that “you can develop hybrid solutions, some ideas that are not on the option sheet.” In an interview VDOT engineer Bob Moore, who supervised the widening of U.S. 211 and would be in charge of further road improvements, said, “You need to look beyond the county’s borders and see this on a regional basis. No matter how you look at it, regional growth is occurring in nearby counties, and this is not something you can stop from within Rappahannock County.” County Administrator John McCarthy, for one, questions one of the report’s core recommendations: “U.S. 211 won’t be 6-laned between Washington and Sperryville in my lifetime. . That’s ridiculous,” he said in a telephone interview. Reflecting the powerful urge to resist development in this county Mr. McCarthy said, “We don’t want to be the asset that someone else comes to plunder.” Although he sees the state government in Richmond as solidly pro-business and pro-development, he did cite these four local controls as having a profound effect on limiting new roads or.expanding existing ones: • Open space easements allow landowners to get tax breaks for agreeing not to subdivide or develop land. • Agriculture and forest districts allow farms and forests to remain as they are — unmolested by new roads running through them. • Scenic Highway designations increase the constraints on improvements that can be made to a road. (Currently Route 231 south of Sperryville, Rpute 628 (the Fodderstack road), and Route 647 from Flint Hill to Marshall have this designation.) • Set-back requirements can make it more attractive to widen existing roads rather than seek routes for new roads. Mr. McCarthy does support the report’s recommendation that bypasses be built around Sperryville, Flint Hill, and eventually Woodville. He cites the town of Washington as an example of the positive outcome of bypasses — less traffic, less noise, more safety, and more of a sense Of community. “The town has become more attractive for retirees who enjoy being able to walk to the store or to the post office,” he says, “and of course tourism has increased.” Mr. McCarthy noted that the recent primary road hearing held in Culpeper shows that VDOT has funds to conduct a study of a Sperryville bypass in five years. He said that even if the study indicates it is desirable and feasible, it will probably be years before construction for it is started. By-passes for Flint Hill and Woodville, if ever built, would be even further in the future. Mr. McCarthy said the purpose of the May 1 meeting is to determine if the supervisors want to indicate general routes for future by-passes of Sperryville, Flint Hill and Woodville. He said he does not believe the supervisors will support the idea of six lanes for U.S. 211 between Washington and Sperryville or for four lanes for any section of U.S. 522 in the county. In fact, he said, the county government has tried to prevent the need for six-laning U.S. 2U by adopting a plan for the general commercial area that limits the number of highway cuts and tries to prevent the development of a strip of shopping between Washington and Sperryville. When asked how they felt about a bypass around Flint Hill, both Wilson and Jean Burke, owners of the Flint Hill Store, agreed that their business would seriously be hurt. “There is not enough traffic coming through as it is. It would hurt our business and a lot of others here. There are only two weekends in the Fall when the road is busy and that traffic is from tourists. We wouldn’t see the tourists with a bypass.” One idea being promoted by those opposed to developing county roads as “traffic corridors” is to press the Virginia Assembly by asking Del. Jay Katzen, to introduce legislation to enable a county to declare itself a “Scenic County” with strict controls on development. As with the “Scenic River” and the “Scenic Highway” designations, the “Scenic County” designation could place stringent limits on change and keep the focus on maintaining as natural environment as possible, they say. There is no law in Virginia now that would allow a county to declare itself a “Scenic County.” Before you buy... the area’s largest dealer M Ford Aspires tyu& Dual Air Bags, Stereo, 36 Mo/36,000 Bumper to-Dumper warranty, b to Choose From. #41055. $7.495 ^ Ford Probe Keyless Entry, AM/FM Cassette, Automatic, Tilt/Cruise. #43032. ...

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19,1995 FT Valley Grocery Attracts Conversationalists By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer The FT Valley Grocery on Route 231 is the last stop before Old Rag, and a popular stop for hikers, campers and many locals. Oliver Brown, who lives in Boston, said, “It is a happy store, all on account of Wilma.” Customer Jimmy Deal said that Wilma is a mother figure to everyone. Wilma Burke and her husband James have owned the store since 1983. She works from morning until mid-afternoon, and he works until closing. They also run the Sunny Slope Home for Adults in Flint Hill, another seven-day a week operation. The store has had several names in the past, since it was built in the 1950s. Prior to the FT Valley name, it was W & J (for Wilma and James), and before that, H & J (for Harvey and Julia Gordon, who sold it to the Burkes). Henry Brown was the original owner. According to local residents, the FT Valley Grocery is the place to be in the morning. Mrs. Burke opens up around 6 a.m., and usually customers are already there anxious to get in and have coffee, talk with friends, have breakfast sandwiches, and get their newspapers. “I try to make everybody feel at home. I enjoy them; they are a great group of people,” said Mrs. Burke. The store’s parking lot can be nearly full in the mornings until 8 or 9 a.m. Some customers come in, help themselves to a cup of coffee, and have a seat on the stool near the coffee machine, greeting and talking with other customers and friends as they enter the store. The conversations range over topics from hunting and fishing, to politics on all levels, to weather and farming. The store is equipped with a large grill and baskets for frying curly potatoes, French fries and fried shrimp. Business is brisk. The menu is extensive, and it seems that most people who come in order something to eat.

Marshall'sDrama Is 'Moving' By ROB SHERWOOD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Laurie Marshall’s moving theatrical presentation Stories From the Dust in the Corner premiered this past weekend at Rappahannock County High School. In a multi-media ensemble of darice, song, dramatic recitation, and slides or artwork, Marshall and her co-creators — seven children and four adults — presented a poignant testimonial about facing our mortality with a spirit of hope and renewal. Inspired by the lessons in life and courage in death of women and men she has known, Marshall dedicates Stories From the Dust to the memories of ten people, five of which are from Rappahannock. These people include her mother, who taught her lessons about “sweeping the dust from the comer” as she lived a full activist’s life, and a woman from Bosnia who shared visions of spiritual renewal as she succumbed to cancer in The Plains. “I came away from the play,” said Linda Orfila, who has collaborated with Marshall on previous artistic projects, “being amazed by the woman (Marshall), how focussed she is, how she is able to tap into people and absorb their qualities and interpret them. The word ‘Ambassador’ comes to mind...The play tells us that death is not a loss — but an achievement. Dying people are giving us their wisdom.” The choreography by Marshall and her four fellow “song sweepers” incorporates many movements with brooms as accompaniment. Sweeping with brooms and gestures of dusting during dance routines become the leitmotifs of the play as the dancers ritually “sweep out” their lives with gestures that speak of renewal. The “song sweepers,” who dance, sing, recite, and dramatize different people, are uniformly excellent: Jeanne Drevas, Carol Lucking, Nina Moore, and Mike Dunnigan. Their Review creative routines with brooms promoted one young boy, age 3, to ask his mother if she had ever danced with a broom. Seven children occasionally romped across the stage, singing, dancing, and — yes — sweeping with brooms also. At the play’s opening, young Jullian Wood, age 3, occupies the “Shrine,” a throne-like prop, and thus provides the play’s most powerful symbol of renewal. During a routine in which the children have been sent to sweep up their rooms by their parents, Britton Wood shares with us his personal philosophy: “I like to make the biggest difference with the least effort.” Jeremy Slack, Ruth Purnell, Jeff Simeon also contribute dance, song, and insight, as do Ashley and Vanessa Dunn whose grandmother Willie Bell Dunn is one of the women to whom the play is dedicated. The music was eclectic, deeply affecting, and, again, often drawn from the many musicians and artists of our county. Carol Lucking composed the music, with instrumentation by Lorraine Duisit and Tom Espinola, for the production’s theme song, “We Are One Tribe,” written by Rappahannock native Melanie Moffett when she was 16. Rappahannock’s nationally-known group Trapezoid contributed “4 A.M. Waltz.” The late Blanche Kennedy, Marshall’s mother-in-law, was heard reciting a poem she wrote two weeks before her death at 93 called "When I Am in Heaven.” Also enhancing the production are frequent uses of natural sound effects, especially the sounds of birds which included loons, wood thrushes, redtailed hawks, and wrens, that soften the mood and heighten the connection between the world of human endeavor Concert To Conclude Series Photo courtesy of Ensemble Five/One Ensemble Five/One will present a program of music from Shakespeare and Purcell Saturday. Of the program for the concert Saturday night at The Theatre “If Music Be the Food of Love...,” Robert Criag, one of the performers in Ensemble Five/One, wrote, “Shakespeare was, of course, at the center of Elizabethan, drama, while Purcell was the leading composer of the Restoration theater. Their arts intersect in what has come to be called the semi-opera: The Fairy Queen. This theatrical tour de force combines A Midsummer Night "s Dream with elements of Restoration farce to form a hybrid pastiche of zesty impact....We invite you to draw up your chairs and shake off your troubles while we attempt to conjure a Shakespearean midsummer’s eve and spin a few moonbeams.” The concert begins at 8 p.m, with a pre-concert talk at 7:30 p.m. and the natural world it is a part of. Projected slides of Marshall’s oil paintings, which were often portraits of the people whose memories were being honored, also augmented the play’s emotional range. Of particular note was Marshall’s haunting multipanel work featuring portraits of Amira Skaljic, her husband Avdo, and her two children Aida and Edin arranged around a view down the ruins of “sniper alley” in Sarajevo. The technical crew, anchored by Carl Aplin and featuring lighting by Kathleen Galevin, costume work by Margaret Dunn, slide projection by Michael Deluise, and soundwork by Deuce Shotton, are to be commended for their professionalism. The ensemble of elements — dance, music, recitation, slides, sound effects — provided a moving experience to most who attended. “I feel like it was speaking right to me — the dust, the sweeping, women, the death,” said Susan Hazel. Reminding us of the rich artistic offering of our county, Marshall credited many members of the audience of Saturday night’s performance with collaborative support: Sally Nash, Julie Portman, Sharon Wyrrick, Nan Reddick, Tutt Harris, Diane Wood, Robin Purnell and Joy Luke. Concluding that our lives are “part will, part chance, part destiny,” Stories from the Dust in the Corner end with the memorable words of Melanie Moffett’s song “We Are One Tribe” that remind us of our mutual responsibilities to one another in the web of life: We are one people who worked the earth And lived and died and loved and gave birth And conquered our memories and cherished our fate And learned to forgive before it’s too late. Upcoming performances will be at Airlee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 23 and at the Loft Theater in Warrenton at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 3.

Charity Ball To Be Held at Bleu Rock Inn The Blue Rock Inn near Washington is the site for the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Charity Ball on May 20. Located in eighty acres in Rappahannock County, this charming country inn is a 150-year-old farmhouse that has been renovated over the last nine years into an elegant restaurant and five bedrooms with private baths. With a magnificent view of the sunset and the Blue Ridge Mountains, the terrace is a lovely setting for dancing to the Rick Henderson and the Rappahannock All-Stars, formerly the Galen Himes band. Bernard and Jean Campagne, owners of the Blue Rock, fell in love with the farm because it reminds them of the mountains where they grew up in France. For a time the brothers used the farm as a retreat. When they gave a large dinner party in honor of a friend who is a four-star chef in London, a number of other chefs who attend exclaimed that the house would make a wonderful country inn like an auberge in the French countryside. The Bleu Rock restaurant serves new American cuisine with a European flavor using the finest and freshest produce from local markets and independent growers. The restau rant’s goal is to preserve the nutritional and health-promoting qualities of correctly treated ingredients while enhancing the taste of the dish. A variety of hors d’oeuvres will be prepared for the ball by Chef Dan Cornish, a native of Virginia and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of American in Hyde Park, New York. Cornish enjoys using French techniques in fresh and innovative ways to create varied menus. The Campagnes, who also own a restaurant in Alexandria, have planted approximately eight acres of cabernet, chardonnay, and seyval vines. Processed in Virginia under the Bleu Rock label, the wine is served in the restaurant and distributed locally.. In the orchards, the brothers planted nec-. tarine, apricot, peach and apple trees. \ Sponsored by Found and Sons Funeral Home and chaired by Susan Gloudeman, the fourth annual Culpepfer Memorial Hospital Charity Ball begins at 7 p.m. and benefits the annual fund of the CMH Foundation, Medical Care for All. There will be a' silent auction. - • Tickets for the black tie-optional event are $125 a couple.

NSDAR Members Enjoy Art Speaker The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met at the Culpeper United Methodist Church in Culpeper on Tuesday, April 11 with Mrs. Thomas Eastham, Regent, presiding and with CDR. Josephine Chelf and Mrs. James A. Weaver as hostesses. In the President General’s Message, read by Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, Mrs. Blair recognized and praised the National Officers and State Officers for their dedicated services to the organization. The total of all their services and contribution, in large part, represents the accomplishments of the National Society towards its continued growth and ever greater goals. Mrs. Edward I. Barton read the National Defense report on how the elderly illegal immigrants strain the welfare system. They account for 28 percent old people on SSI but that is not he only welfare program that serves non-citizens. House Republicans estimate that the cost of all kinds of welfare to illegal immi- ' grants amounts to $9 billion a year. The speaker for the afternoon, introduced by Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, was Mrs. Owen Charles Baker, Docent and Tour Guide at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Her subject was art from colonial times to the twentieth century. Early colonials had no time for art but barn painters, farmers etc. tried represent life then. The next step was portrait painting with John Singleton Copley the most famous of early portrait painters. 1 ' Until fifty years ago there were no art galleries in the United States and artists had to travel to Europe, largely England to study. A painter familiar to most, Gilbert Stuart, was the most successful of portrait painters, having done over 1100 of them, 100 of George Washington alone. The first break with British painting was landscape painting, for example Thomas Cole’s Hudson Valley paintings. A humorous sideline was that Britishers couldn’t believe the colors so he pasted some leaves on cardboard and took them to England as proof. Then paintings of everyday life were wanted, followed by still lifes — realism, and then Childe Hassam whose paintings were influenced by the Impressionists. ' * After World War II, the tables were turned and Europeans came -to America to study, New York becoming the center of art. Mrs. George Bryson presented her report on ,Jhe Virginia State Conference held in Richmond in March. For the next meeting, Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear, Jr. gave information bn the Pilgrimage to Old Alexandria on May 9th with walking tours, visits to Ramsay House and Carlyle House and with lunch at Gadsby’s Tavern. 1 On May 26th at 10 a.m., there will be a Memorial Services for Thelma White at the Fairview Cemetery on Route 522 in Culpeper.

Food Safety for The Occasional Quantity Cook By HELEN SMITH Eiteatiu Agent, Heme Economic* Occasional Quantity Cooks are volunteers who prepare, serve or handle food at any event. These can be once a year such as a community festival or for a fund-raising event such as a pancake breakfast or spaghetti dinner. There is a lot to learn about safe food preparation and handling. If you don’t work for a commercial restaurant you may not be aware of all the spfecial techniques involved in cooking for a large group of people. It’s scary to think about people getting sick from your meal, but it can happen. Foodbourne illness strikes Americans more than 12 million times a year! More than three-quarters of the outbreaks are blamed on food eaten outside the home. The Extension Home Economists in P.D. 9 will be teaching two classes on Safe Food Handling for the Occasional Quantity Cook this spring. Classes will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon on May 5 at Culpeper Extension Office and Fauquier Extension Office from 7-9:30 p.m. on May 11. Additional classes can be scheduled in Rappahannock, Madison and Orange counties upon request. The workshops will cover the following: Planning and Purchasing Supplies, Storage of Food, Preparing and Serving, Handling Leftovers and Health Department Regulations for the Temporary Food Event. For more information and to register, call the Extension Office at 6753619.
