Katzen Faces Election Probe i '93 Debt Payments Queried By SANDY HUME Times Newspapers Staff Writer WARRENTON — The Fauquier County Democratic Committee filed a complaint last week with the state Board of Elections alleging that incumbent Del. Jay Kaizen (R-31 st) improperly used 1995 contributions to help retire a $19,388 debt from his 1993 campaign. Katzen would only be allowed to apply 1995 donations to his previous debt after the end of the 1995 campaign, according to a press release circulated by the democratic committee. “A telephone conversation placed to Ms. M. King of the State Board of Elections ... con firmed this interpretation,” the release read. The release stated that the allocations were discovered “during a recent routine examination of candidate, campaign contributions and expenditures.” Bruce Meadows, secretary of the Board of Elections, said Tuesday that it was merely a case of sloppy bookkeeping on the part of the Katzen campaign. His office will require that Katzen amend his records, but nothing more. “If we thought somebody was purposefully trying to get around the campaign finance laws, we would refer it to the commonwealth’s See Katzen, Page A-5 Jay Katzen WSA Holds Line On Sewer Rates By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sewer rates will remain the same in Sperryville under a budget adopted by the Water and Sewer Authority last Thursday night. The WSA also approved 3 percent raises for the plant operators effective July 1. Both the raises and the budget i passed on 3 to 1 votes with member Carson Johnson voting “no.” Mr. Johnson said he supported the raises but not in a form that would mean the Water and Sewer Authority was voting to increase costs to the other bodies that pay those salaries, such as the school system and the Town of Washington. On the overall budget he insisted more of the costs could be paid by the school system, thus reducing the rate paid by Sperryville customers. The School Board pays 25 percent of the payroll for plant operators. The Town of Washington is being charged $15 per hour for testing and operating the water treatment plant. Mr. Johnson said the work at the school was taking half the plant operator’s time, and work for the town takes another 25 percent, so the WSA should only be paying for 25 percent of the operator’s time. Other members said the school takes about 25 percent of her time | and the town takes another 25 percent, with the Sperryville plant tak* ing half her time. Voting for the raises and budget were Chairman Gene Leggett, See WSA, Page A-6 No Hurry For Plan In-Depth Review To Take Months 1 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer I ake up issues and goals one at a time. That is what the Planning Commission decided last Wednesday to do following a discussion of the public meeting in June to get visions from citizens and a further discussion of where to go from there in revising the Comprehensive Plan. At the August meeting the planners will select topics tor future public meetings, one issue per meeting. For example they may have an evening focusing on the future of farming and the land use taxation sy stem, a meeting on the village center concept, a meeting on recreation needs and so forth. For each topic the planners intend to set forth their current thinking on the subject to give interested citizens something to start with. The August meeting will also include a public hearing on a series of amendments to the zoning ordinance to ban or further restrict commercial operations in agricultural districts. That hearing was originally scheduled for the July meeting but postponed when dealing with the flood occupied much of County Administrator John McCarthy’s attention, and he did not get the notice advertising the amendments in on time. Most planners felt the meeting on visions had gone well and had been productive. Chairman Mike Massie said the meeting had been “very positive. So many people like the county the way it is.” Louis G. “Butch” Zindel, who represents the Board of Zoning Appeals on the Planning Commission, said two things he felt the planners should pick up from that meeting are requiring developers to prove there is sufficient water for their proposed developments and including a section on recreation in the goals portion of the Comprehensive Plan. Piedmont District representative Tom Junk said the meeting included a number of “good comments.” He added that the concept of “clustering housing around the villages disturbs me a little bit,” and said the planners should take up Gary Settle’s comment that the county needs “some place for kids to go” and address that in the Comprehensive Plan. He added there seemed to be sufficient support to decrease the housing density in agricultural zones from one dwelling per 25 acres to one per 50 acres. Jackson District representative David Fannon said 50acre density would be “impractical.” Mr. Massie asked Mr. McCarthy how the county could go about requiring developers to prove sufficient water. Mr. McCarthy said several years ago when Del. Andy Guest represented Rappahannock and part of Fauquier in the legislature the county was included along with Fauquier in legislation passed by the General Assembly giving the county the right to do that. He said nothing had been done about that but he would investigate. He said it could be important particularly for businesses locating around the villages that have no significant surface water such as Flint Hill and Woodville. Susan Babcock suggested the planners follow-up on the “visioning” meeting by having an outside facilitator come in and conduct a further meeting. “It was a very good beginning,” she said. “The visioning process can take quite a while. You may have arguments ... by the time you are through with it all, you really have something that is representative of the county, and it strengthens the Comprehensive Plan. I’d love to see us continue the process.” Mr. Zindej asked Mr. McCarthy if he could serve as the facilitator. Mr. McCarthy said he would not be the one to See Planners, Page A-6 O'Connell's Cookbook A Treat For Eyes Also Chef's Recipes Feature Local Foods By CINDY MAHAN Rappakaanock Newt Staff Writer In the fail of 1996, Chef Patrick O’Connell of the Inn at Little Washington will follow in the footsteps of many other famous chefs — his first cookbook will be released. This cookbook will be different from others, though, because it will feature local farmers and purveyors in Rappahannock who supply The Inn with their goods, along with beautiful scenic photos of the county, and, of course, recipes using local, fresh ingredients. This vision of a cookbook is more of a European style for a cookbook, thought up by Mr. O’Connell and Tim Turner, a professional food photographer from Chicago who is doing the photos for this book. Mr. O’Connell chose Mr. Turner as his photographer after seeing other cookbooks which he photographed. Mr. Turner said, “This is very exciting work for me because I live in Chicago and I am usually in a studio for 12 to 14 hours a day.” He said that he is amazed at the beauty of Rappahannock and looks forward to his trips here from Chicago for the photo shoots. Besides photographing the food from The Inn in a makeshift studio, See Inn, Page,A-5 ‘ Photo Courtesy of Tim Turner Chef Patrick O’Connell, left, and photographer Tim Ttirner put the finishing touches^ a cookbook illustration featuring native rockfish.

(703) 349-0588 Bruce Pleads Guilt After Rifle Found By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer In Rappahannock County Circuit Court last Thursday, Craig Lynn Bruce, 42, of Amissville, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. This case was the subject of a last-minute plea’agreement, as it was set for a bench trial. Even though he pleaded guilty to the charge of possessing a firearm, a .22 rifle, he still maintained his innocence, but said he felt that he would have been found guilty during a trial. His attorney, Public Defender Roy Bradley, said that a major part of his client’s defense, had the trial taken place, was that Mr. Bruce lived in an apartment in a barn, but that the firearm was discovered in the barn, not the apartment. Mr. Bruce has been charged in Culpeper County with the theft of the firearm, and that case is yet to be heard in court. His sentencing in Rappahannock County Circuit Court will take place on Oct. 20. Bruce was convicted of grand larceny and breaking and entering in 1975. Mr. Luke warned Mr. Bruce that if more convictions than he already knows about show up on his pre-sentencing report, then the Commonwealth will recommend to the court that Mr. Bruce be sentenced to serve the sentence ragge mid-point as calculated under the Virginia sentencing guidelines. He was also ordered to report to the jail for a DNA test. Sperryville's Locklear Arrested For Assault By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Kevin Locklear, 19, of Sperry ville, was arrested on July 19 on assault charges filed by Rocky Foster.

Fridley of the Virginia State Police, Mr. Atkins was attempting to cross from Route 729 onto U.S. 211 when he was hit by a 1977 Mack truck driven by Donald Ray Ervine, 29, of Mt. Solon, Virginia, causing $100 damage to the truck and $1,000 damage to Mr. Atkins’ 1990 Mazda pickup. In turn, Mr. Ervine’s truck was hit by another 1977 Mack truck, driven by Keith C. Faulconer, 30, of Stephenson, Va., which caused no damage to his truck. The trucks are owned by General Excavation of Luray. Trooper Wayne Sumner reported that there were no injuries. • Last Friday, Ralph Edward Turner, 23, of Stanley was charged with following too closely when his 1989 Chevrolet pickup ran into the back of a 1989 Ford van driven by Margaret E.

Espinola Enthralls Children Songs Feature Many Themes By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock Newt Intern “Np, it would be to easy to just wear blue. Instead Jenny Jenkins buys a foldy-roldy, tildy-toldy, seeka-double, use-a-cause-a, roll-to-findme, roll.” “What?” you may be asking. This was among the many songs Lorraine Duisit Espinola sang when she performed at the library last. Wednesday evening. Mrs. Duisit sang a number of traditional ballads along with others which she wrote for her children. These included a song for her son, Evan, about what is seen while riding on the road and another for her daughter, Nicole, about swinging. She used a wide assortment of instruments during the program. Included in these were the audio harp, which “pretty much plays itself’ she said, and a mandolin, an instrument with a deep pear-shaped body. The first of the many songs was a traditional childhood number, “A Hunting We Will Go.” Other animals such as a frog, dinosaur, and mosquito were also added to the list of things that were caught. In order to incorporate the performance with one of this year’s themes, “Wiggle Into Reading,” Mrs. Duisit also sang the “Snakey-Pokey,” a medley similar to the “Hokey-Pokey.” After this she did some silly solos which included “Do Your Ears Hang Low,” and “Do Your Ears Hang High.” She was then accompanied by the audience as she sang about when to and not to beep the horn. She explained that is appropriate to do so when saying “hi” and when the person in front of you doesn’t know the fights turned red. What happens when you get bored? You wiggle, giggle and itch. This was the subject of the next song. Then came a tune about camping followed by another about picking strawberries. “When you think you see some there really are none, and when there really are none you think you think you see some,” she informed the audience about the strawberries. Her final selection was about a man who liked to travel. The children were encouraged to clap, wave, stretch and do many other things during this song. On Aug. 2 the library will host the program’s closing awards.

No Bull, Longhorns Are Here Andrews Plan Herd of Famous Texas Cattle By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Longhorns are found mostly in Texas, but Roger and Joyce Andrews of Washington are starting a herd of their own. The Andrews bought their first Longhorns three years ago, three yearling heifers. They recently sold those, along with a few more they had acquired, and this week bought three new ones, all registered, one with a calf at side. The calf will be registered at the same time he is branded, when he gets a little older. One of the new ones is also very pregnant, and may calve at any time. There are many reasons why the Andrews chose to raise Longhorns. The beef is very lean, they have a natural immunity to many diseases, calving is usually very easy because the calves are smaller than with other cattle, and the Longhorns have more stamina than most cattle. They are ideal for cattle drives, said Mrs. Andrews. Also, they can live to be 30 years ago and still breed. “They are very good mothers,” said Mrs. Andrews.

Inc. reach up to 59 inches across, a most impressive sight. Mrs. Andrews said that out west ranchers are starting to breed Longhorns with other cattle to breed in the most desirable characteristics. The crossbreeds do not have the horns, though. Longhorns were first introduced to this country by the Spanish, and the hardiest ones have survived since then. Mr. Andrews said that they nearly became extinct in the 1920’s, but have gained in popularity since then. The Andrews believe that their Longhorns are the only ones in Rappahannock County. Though only in the pasture at the Andrews’, which is in Peyton Farms, for two days, they are very friendly. There were purchased from a farm in Catlett, and were accustomed to being in a herd of over 50 cattle. They are still becoming acclimated to the move, but the Andrews feel the cattle will soon become familiar with their new home. Correction The map published with the story on the Sperryville bypass in the July 19 edition failed to show that the additional lane will be extended to the existing intersection where U.S. 522 splits off from U.S. 211 between the Sperryville Exxon and the Emporium. That road improvement is intended to improve traffic flow and site distance at that intersection whether the Sperryville bypass is ever built or not. The current westbound lane would become primarily for traffic turning left at the intersection and the new lane would be for traffic continuing on U.S. 211 The Rappahannock News regrets the omission.

On Saturday, the Monarchs were supposed to host New Market in the first game of the opening round of the Apple Vallfey League playoffs, but only seven New Market players showed up at the Rappahannock County High School field. The Monarchs won by forfeit to take a 1-0 lead in the best of three series. On Sunday the two teams played in New Market, with New Market getting the best of the Monarchs 8-3. New Market pitcher, Chris Eye, limited the Monarchs to five hits and struck out eight in nine innings. Rappahannock scored in the first inning when Festus Clanagan led off the game with a walk. Vincent Aylor's double to the right field wall scored Clanagan, but Aylor was thrown out trying to stretch it to a triple. Eye settled down and retired the next eleven Monarchs. New Market took the lead with two runs in the first inning, padded it with four in the fourth, and added two insurance runs in the fifth to make the score 8-1. Rappahannock did not threaten again until the eighth inning when Luther Alexander led off the inning with a triple. Unfortunately for the Monarchs, Alexander Was thrown out trying to score on Thomas Jones’s ground ball to third. With two out, Jones stole second and third, but the Monarchs could not plate him. The Monarchs got their final runs in the ninth. Andy Furr singled and went to third on William Parker’s single. Bob Howard singled Furr in. Parker scored when David Clanagan singled with two out.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation The Audit Bureau WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1995 Editorial A Plan for the Plan The Planning Commission seems to be on tratk with current plans for getting public input into revising the Comprehensive Plan. Starting in September the planners will take up one issue a month as they prepare the section of the plan on goals and objectives. Some of those issues will be controversial, and the planners can expect to get plenty of public comment. When the process is completed and a draft of the entire Comprehensive Plan is finished, it would also be a good idea to take it on the road and hold hearings in the county's fire halls to pick up comments from residents who rarely come to the Courthouse for public meetings. If those meetings could also be social gatherings with perhaps potluck suppers or fundraising dinners for the fire departments, even more people might come out. The Comprehensive Plan is an important document. It is intended to guide zoning and subdivision ordinances and how applications are handled. In legal disputes over land use issues, comprehensive plans, which chart a county’s intended future, are given great weight by the courts. Finally, when the document is ready for publication, it would be a good idea if the goals and objectives section became the first chapter instead of the last, hidden behind pages of charts and descriptions of what is and was. This data, w'hich is an important part of determining what can be, should be supplementary to the county’s statement of what future it plans. Ask Residents' Opinion The latest VDOT proposal for a Spcrryville is an improvement over an earlier four-lane version that would have turned Route 1002 into two dead-end roads. It is also an improvement over an alignment that appeared on orte of the Kellerco maps, that showed the bypass lined up with Route 231, rather than U.S. 522. Now it is time for the people of Spcrryville to be heard, but they are not the only county residents with a stake in the eventual decision. Many county residents travel through Spcrry ville on their way to Washington, Flint Hill, Amissville, Warrenton, Culpeper or Front Royal. The Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission members should consider their views also. However, they do not need to consider the view s of truckers and others who would use Rappahannock County as a short cut from one place outside the county to another place outside the county. VDOT is paying plenty of attention to those people. In the meantime the news that VDOT is willing to make improvements to the current intersection whether the bypass is built or not is indeed welcome. VLANn oci me-' iJs i<j m How 'bout it?

Letters to the Editor Medicaid Salvages Dignity Of Seniors, Family By F.DN’A FARIS Kappuhannock Nens Contributing Writer My husband has the wrong disease. If Wilson’s condition required teams of doctors and complex surgery. Medicare would cover most of his bills. But Medicare doesn't cover the care that Alzheimer’s disease requires: long-term care. So we’ve exhausted our life savings, and we have to rely on Medicaid for his care. 1 recently went to Washington to tell my story to Congress. I’ve been paying close attention to the battle over the federal budget, and the proposed cuts in Medicaid. I wanted the politicians to know just how important Medicaid is to us and to thousands of others in our situation. I wanted the people making these life-altering decisions to look at one of the many faces of the people who would be hurt by such deep cuts. My husband Wilson served his country in the Navy. Then he worked 23 years as a science teacher and parttime supermarket clerk. Wilson saved enough money for the two of us to live modestly after retirement. But in 1990, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. 1 took care of him myself for three years, feeding, dressing and bathing him. But his Alzheimer’s got worse and worse: now he needs round-the-clock supervision so he won’t wander off or injure himself. Hard as it was, 1 provided that care all by myself until February of 1993. But then the Alzheimer’s made him hostile and too hard for me to handle. He was hospitalized for a short time and then the doctors told me 1 had r.o choice: Wilson had to be placed in a nursing home. Here in northern Virginia, the cost was almost $50,000 a year — an absolutely impossible drain on our meager savings. Even if I had cashed in all of our assets and made myself a pauper to pay for his care, it would not have covered more than a few months at the nursing home. My children told me 1 was welcome to live with them, but how can I do that to them? 1 am too indepen-' dent and too loving a parent to impose myself on my family. Medicaid’s help with long-term care allowed me to keep a little of what we saved — and my dignity. 1 don’t have to ask my children for charity. 1 don’t have to ask for my grandchildren’s college' tuition to pay for my husband’s care. 1 looked to Medicaid when I didn’t have anywhere else to turn. Medicaid allows me to keep a small amount of our income to cover my daily expenses. The rest of Wilson’s pension goes to the nursing home. When I went to D.C. 1 spoke at a news conference with Families USA, a national health consumer group that understands the importance of Medicaid. 1 wanted to do my part in this struggle, and let the members of Congress from Virginia know that families like mine would be in dire straits if it weren’t for Medicaid. Wilson and 1 saved all of our lives, preparing for retirement, and that money has already disappeared. Medicaid threw us a lifeline before we drowned in debt and has kept us just above water for the past two years. It’s hard enough having your husband struck down by Alzheimer’s disease. It’s hard enough to see him wither before your eyes. Why in the world should we have to be destroyed financially as well? Medicaid cannot guarantee lifelong health or economic stability, but it can save a family from complete financial disaster. And it can save the dignity of people like me. Editor's note: Edna Faris is a resident of Alexandria. Funny Money? To the Editor: It does appear that Jay Katzen is at it again. I just received a notice from my friend Rich Galecki, the Fauquier County Democratic Committee chairman, that Rich has filed a complaint of violations of campaign laws with the State Board of Elections. This complaint brings to light that Mr. Katzen is using contributions to his 1995 campaign to pay off part of a more than $20,000 debt from his 1993 campaign. I’m not sure that was what his 1995 contributors intended, but that’s the problem. I have also learned, that in spite of this enormous debt, Mr. Katzen carried forward from the 1993 campaign to the 1995 campaign more than $900. If this appears to you to be some kind of “funny money” manipulations, you’re not alone. Yet this is the same Mr. Katzen who claims to espouse fiscal propriety in government. It’s just another example of Mr. Katzen saying one thing and doing another. In amazement and amusement, I am, J.

Reporter Recalls Howell's Barnstorming Tour By JOHN GOOLRICK Political whistle stopping by train or motor vehicle is as American as apple pie, but the person who first perfected the fine art of RV campaigning in Virginia was Henry Howell. The news media is making much of Gov. George Allen’s two week excursion in the same recreational vehicle he used during his 1993 campaign in his successful gubernatorial effort. Though billed as a trip to stay in touch with ordinary Virginians, the Allen caravan with media following close behind is nicely timed to help Republican candidates in the November general election. An example occurred in Tappahannock — one of the first stops — when the governor went into a local restaurant and was offered a private dining section. Allen declined the offer, saying he preferred to eat in public. He had a hamburger and fries, one of few actions he has taken resembling those of President Bill Clinton. The next morning Allen gave one of his patented stem-winder speeches Old Dominion Politics for Bill Bolling, a candidate for the State Senate against incumbent Democratic Elmo Cross of Hanover County. Reading about the governor’s big adventure, 1 found myself wishing I could be part of the entourage because the one thing I have missed about being part of the political media is traveling across Virginia with various candidates or candidate boosters. Lots of folks have taken to the RV route, including Doug Wilder, Ollie North, Chuck Robb, Don Beyer and so on. But I doubt if any before or since have done it any better than the colorful Henry Howell who ran for lieutenant governor and, won and then ran twice unsuccessfully for governor. Covering Howell for reporters was a joy since he always gave them plenty to write about and was at all times totally accessible to the media. I had the opportunity to ride along with Henry several times in his RV as he traveled along blue highways in such places as Big Stone Gap, Callao, Farmville, Woodstock, Waverly and others. Henry had a loudspeaker gadget attached to the RV and as the vehicle moved along could address various folks who might be walking along streets or highways. No crowd was too small for him to say to a sometimes startled audience, “This is Henry Howell, folks, running for governor, running to get your electric bills under control, running against the big boys to serve the people...” Nothing was more fun than when Howell pulled up to a country store, asked the owner’s permission to put his campaign posters in the window, got someone to snap a Polaroid picture of the owner and whatever customers were available with him, and then got the owner to prominently display the memento of Howell’s visit. Me was shrewd enough to know that in rural areas country stores were often like community centers where people gathered both to buy things and to exchange gossip. Of course, the weekly papers always put in a photo and story and the visit to their community of the candidate for governor. I’m sure that those now along for the ride with Gov. Allen are having lots and lots of fun, for there is something about flitting from stop to stop as the countryside whizzes by that is exhilarating. Somehow you feel transported from the real world and all its problems into another dimension where the most important things in life are the constant handshaking, the impromptu campaign speeches, the roadside welcoming committees, the sound bites sandwiched between breakfast in Grundy, lunch in Wytheville and the traditional chicken dinner in Martinsville. Henry Howell, 1‘miss you. (Editor's note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Congressman Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own.)

► Katzen From Page A-l attorney,” said Meadows. “I doubt if this was willful, but if the Democrats think it was willful they can take it to the commonwealth’s attorney.... “We think it was just a mistake in bookkeeping ... As far as we’re concerned, when the amended forms get here, it’s a done deal.’’ | Katzen, reached at his Richmond office Tuesday, admitted using 1995 collections to reduce his 1993 debt, but said he did so only after being advised by the Board of Elections that it would be appropriate. ; “Obviously we have no intention to defraud anyone,” said Katzen. “We were advised that that was quite appropriate to do ... If we were trying to do something illegal, obviously we wouldn’t report it.” Katzen added that some of his 1993 debts are owed to himself, and likely will not be repaid. The portion tljat will be covered, he said, is owed to J. Kenneth Klinge Associates, a political consulting firm, whose initials are not to be confused with J.K. Katzen’s. » Whether he uses any further 1995 contributions to cover those debts will depend on a ruling from the Board of Elections. “There is some disagreement as to whether the advice we received was accurate,” he said. Nancy Fitzgerald, the Democratic committee’s vice-chairman, said the group filed the complaint because they consider it “a pretty big betrayal of trust” to accept money for one purpose and spend it on another. “It’s a campaign issue because Mr. Katzen is not being honest with his contributors,” said Ms. Fitzgerald. “If I am a contributor, my money’s going to make sure that person wins this year. If you’re using my money to pay for an old debt that has nothing to do with this campaign ... it’s going to bother me. I “Voters who ha.ve supported him in the past should be aware that this is how he's operating this summer ... people might want to look again at the person they're supporting,” she said. Katzen dismissed the complaint as “an effort to distract voters from the issues at hand,” but pledged not to personally attack his Democratic challenger. Sue Scheer. “Their campaign will learn that there are no shortcuts to winning a campaign,” he sa,ld. “Mudslinging, at least in the 31st District, is an element our voters don’t like.” Scheer declined to comment on the complaint until the Board of Elections or the commonwealth’s attorney completed their reviews. ► Inn 1 From Page A-l Mr. Turner travels the county roads visiting purveyors and farmers to photograph them and their products. One of his stops has been at Jordan River Farm in Huntly, owned by Miriam Harris and Cory Koral. They have been supplying The Inn for many years. Mrs. Harris delivers eggs all year round, and also sells whatever produce she has in season, including but not limited to, potatoes, tomatoes, Genovese basil, sorrel, and strawberries. The farm is organic and experiments with many different varieties of vegetables. John Burns of Goat Hill Farm in Washington also sells a lot to The Inn: rabbits, raspberries, blackberries, currants, salad mix, head lettuce, culinary herbs, flowering kale, various tomatoes, oriental vegetables, arugula, and edible flowers. Fdwin M. (Butch) F.astham, III of Huntly provides asparagus, and Marta Irmen of Viewtown also sells asparagus, along with raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Mr. O’Connell said that the cookbook will be a celebration of our area. “American cuisine has caught up with the French,” he said. Though the following recipe will not be in the cookbook because the publisher. Random House, has all rights to the recipes. Chef O’Connell felt that this recipe would be suitable foj- Rappahannock cooks. Seared Tuna with Pinot Noir Sauce Serves 4.

It’s nice to have experts, but I think it’s our process.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sharon Pierce said there is a large population that will never come to a big meeting but might attend smaller meetings in the individual districts. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser made the suggestion that was eventually adopted to concentrate on one issue at a time. “I’m not in favor of hiring an expert,” he said. He said more people in total would get involved around single issues. He suggested the topics of land use taxation, the village concept and “merchants.” The planners wondered how concerned they should be about getting the process of revising the Comprehensive Plan finished. Mr. McCarthy said they are only required From Page A-l to review it every five years and bringing it out and dusting it off would meet that requirement. He said as long as the county is not under a lot of development pressure, they don’t have to worry if the process takes them into next summer. “If we were having a lot of development, it would be hard to work with a 6-year-old Comprehensive Plan,” he said. / Mr. Massie noted the planners had received a letter from a resident suggesting the county work to decrease the use of herbicides and pesticides. He said, “That’s not something Rappahannock County or any county can regulate.” He said the Extension office provides information for farmers who want to farm organically as well as those who use conventional farming. Ms. Pierce said letting people make such suggestions for anything they may want may “raise expectations” the planners can not meet. Mr. Massie suggested future meetings be ones where the planners can respond to suggestions. He said suggestions that the county not allow any more road improvements are impossible and the planners need to let people know that. Mr. Junk said the only way to prevent road improvements would be to not allow anybody else to live in the county, since development creates the demand for improved roads. Mr. McCarthy said he spends much of his time explaining such things to people, especially the way the Dillon Rule restricts what the county can do. “Nobody is born knowing the Dillon Rule. We pick it up because we run headlong into it,” he said. “It’s led to more work for us, but it has led people into being more understanding about what we do.” He said he was frustrated by the pace the revision of the Comprehensive Plan was taking, but is more comfortable with it now. He said getting the public comfortable with what the planners are doing and feeling they can contribute is worth the effort. Mr. Massie brought up the question of the proposed Sperryville bypass. He said it should be considered, not as a part of the Kellerco plan, but from the point of view of what is best for the people of Sperryville. The rest of the planners had not received information on the bypass yet. Dr. Krebser said he was concerned that VDOT would be negotiating directly with the property owmers without consulting the county. “That really worries me,” he said. Mr. McCarthy said it is not likely VDOT will build the road without the support of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Junk said transportation changes elsewhere may take truck traffic off Route 231 and reduce the need for the bypass. A/e*r/fret* Cede 304 Some Things Don’t. Starting now, this side or Virginia has ns own new area code — 540. That’s changed. But not much else has changed. No change in costs. Happily, the cost of calling will not change. Local calls will still be local calls, just like before. And your monthly cost for service will stay the same. No change in the way you dial. Luray Caverns in V'ii^inias Shenandoah Valley Why a new area code? When you think of all the new phone numbers we need in Virginia — for fax machines, cellular phones, pagers, computer modems, new and growing businesses — its easy to see how an area code can “fill up.” Bell Atlantic wants you to have the best service possible, and planning for even more growth by assigning a new area code is just one way we do that. Don’t foiget to tell your family and friends If you need to dial an area code when calling family and friends, you will still need to do that.

CIW Bril Allantic ©Bell Atlantic THE HEARJ OF COMMUNICATION" Mr. Massie said it would be necessary to study the alternatives, the need for the road and the interests of the people of Sperryville. The planners moved into public response, and Phil Irwin was the first to mention a proposed development in Sperryville that was presented to the RLEP Board of Directors. He suggested the planners move ahead with developing plans for the villages. He said the planned development represented a “threat” to Sperryville. Peter Kramer said the Comprehensive Plan should emphasize agriculture and tourism and keep a tax system that helps those industries. He suggested Washington’s meals and lodging tax be spread throughout the county. He also told the planners that clearing mountaintops and building on them is detrimental to the tourist industry. “It won’t take very many of these before the beauty of the county is eliminated.” He said building a tall tower would also damage the county's beauty and suggested the planners make a strong statement in the very first paragraphs of the Corpprehensive Plan supporting agriculture and the tourist industry. Mr. Fannon said the county couldn’t prohibit mountaintop development without compensating owners of such land. Mr. Kramer said the county could do something if it could prove mountaintop development is having a nega tive impact on the county. Mitzie Young said bypassing villages dries up their commerce. She said much of Sperryville already suffers from neglect. Kathleen Maier said the vision meeting was “spectacular.” She said the proposed development in Sperryville could be made to serve the needs of people such as the elderly. She said a bypass could benefit the elderly and children in towns. Peter Kramer added that bypasses could work if development is not allowed along them. ► WSA From Page A-l Charles K. “Pete” Estes, and Richard Smith. The budget calls for $85,919 in expenses and $70,950 in revenue from Sperryville customers and $10,900 from the Town of Washington. Members said they expect to make up the $4,069 difference by cutting other operating costs and acquiring more customers at the plant. The bills for sewer customers will remain at $21.50 per month per equivalent dwelling unit. The WSA is currently billing for 275 EDUs, Mr. Johnson said. Can You Spot Skin Cancer?

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds I Farm Show Photos By Cindy Mahan By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Intern There were three bams with room for over 100 animals in each, and lots of people both old and young milling around the grounds for nearly 14 hours a day. No., it wasn’t the filming of “BonanzaThe Next Generation,” it was the 1995 Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show, held July 19 through 25. Youth and adults from the three counties showed off their projects during this annual event held in Culpeper. Livestock exhibitors included Ashley, Zack and Nathan Corbin, David Massie, , Justin, Katie and Scott Updike, Mary Beth Williams, and Melissa Dixon. Justin and Lindsay Burger, Devin Day, Anne Ashleigh Lamma, Jesse Palmer, Ben Hahn, Tommy Pendleton and Bobbie Jo Brown are all rnembers of the local Cloverbud Club who entered projects both this year and last year. Their entries were from the crafts, arts, and hobbies categories. All of their projects received ribbons of participation. Kevin Day, Lisa Pendleton and Hazel Zinn-Day entered the photography competition and did extremely well. Lisa Pendleton also won third place for a wreath she made. The events kicked off with a watermelon party for exhibitors, parents, leaders and Friends of the Farm Show. The next day, Friday, was filled with competition. Everything from rabbits and sheep to Home Economics projects were judged. There was also a bake sale in the Homemaking building from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday was a little more light-hearted with the Farm Fun Day events taking place from 1-4 p.m. and a dance later that evening for exhibitors. Sunday’s main event was the CYF Tractor Pull. There was also a dog show and a beef fitting and showmanship con test. On Monday a tractor driving contest was held along with the awards presentation. Those who entered their animals in the Farm Show had a chance to sell them during a miniature livestock sale. “They make a small profit and get some valuable experience at the same time,” explained Jim Massie, father of exhibitor David Massie. There was also money given to the winners of certain other events. A hunter horse show took place at Havday Farm on Monday morning, attended by several riders from Rappahannock. Tuesday was spent cleaning up the grounds. All of the exhibitors were asked to be present. The awards given to the 4-Hers in the show will be on display in the window of the Extension Office for about a month. Swept Away David Massie gets a stall ready for his prized steer.

She plied the seven seas and helped a new nation become a world power. But what was their formula for success? God’s power and man’s design making fullest use of it. You don’t have to count the sails or study the rigging to know that. Is it any different when we employ steam, electricity or nuclear power? These are sources of power God has provided.
