Metters is a company ten times the size of Blueridge, said Dr. Jamieson, and is based in Tysons Cdmer. Their major customer is the federal government. Almost all of Blueridge’s customers are commercial, so the acquisition of Blueridge helps Metters to expand. “It extends their region to document management,” he said. •Both Dr. Jamieson and Craig Landrum are now vice presidents of Metters since the merger. Following the merger, Dr. Jamieson’s title changed from CEO to General Manager, and now Mr. Landrum is Chief Technical Officer instead of President. • ; Coupled with its recent acquisition of Mekel Engineering, the industry leader in microfilm and microfiche scanners, and its own systems integration, training, and advanced technology divisions, Metters has positioned itself as one of the major players in the rapidly expanding rhafket for document imaging, electronic workflow, text retrieval, COLD (Computer Output to Laser Disk), and yVprld Wide Web content.

School Opening Goes Well By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Thc first day of public school on Monday was fairly routine with 1,005 students in attendance. That was a slight drop from the 1,008 * m , .,,1 The major problem of the day came at the elementary school when teachers arriving before the students discovered that there was no water in the school. An investigation revealed that a fuse had blown out over the weekend causing the system to lose pressure. Water pressure was restored by noon,, but the water was^discolored. Water was hauled from the high school, and drinking water stations were set up in the elementary school. Assistant principal Richard Smith said the water will be tested for bacteria, and the water will not be used until it passes that test and the discoloration is gone. Breakfast and lunch were served using foam trays. Principal Raye Tupper said she did not believe the lack of water affected the opening as teachers and students were more interested in getting off to a good start, Mr. Smith agreed but added, “It sure altered my first day.” * Mis. Tupper said there were a .“tear, imhappy. kindwgartan ahUrt—m. as usual, but most had attended orientation last week and were com. fortable with their teachers. She said they had held assemblies to welcome toe children to school. Children in primary grades learned a new word, “cogitate,” and some could be heard using it later in the day. Mr. Smith said the sixth and seventh graders had an assembly in which their responsibilities under a schedule that allows for more choices and moving from class to class as individuals rather than as whole classes was explained. He said the new schedule for the older students went well. Mrs. Tupper said it is important that parents have their children ride the bus to school the first morning rather than driving them so they will know which bus to get on to go home in the afternoon. At the high school Principal Jack Raines said, “We even had water.” He said the first day under the new block schedule had gone very smoothly. He - took time during the day to hold tu—wmMiet with-each-clasaand go over rules and expectations. “It went great,” he said of the day. He said one eighth grader managed to have two lunch periods and a few students had troyble working the combination locks on their lockets.' He said the first feedback from the teachers on the, block schedule was “positive. If we have 179 more days like this one, it will be a good year. I didn't have a single discipline problem.” There were 636 students at RCES and 369 at the high school. Normally attendance picks up throughout the first and second weeks of school. On Tuesday there were 1,021 students in school. The elementary school had picked up 10 more students and the high school six more. : Amendments Approved Rules Questioned V By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The members of the Planning Commission have sent a series of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, covering country inns, conference centers and golf courses to the Board of Supervisors with the recommendation that they be adopted. Most have to do with what will be allowed as a country inn, retreat or lodge and what will be allowed for a resort or conference center. The chief distinction is that a countiy inn, retreat or lodge has 20 or fewer double occupancy rooms and a resort or conferente center has more than 20, if the amendments are adopted by the supervisors. Also a country inn requires a special use permit while a resort or conference center requires a special exception. After discussion in a public hearing the planners modified the regulations slightly. They had read seven rooms per 25 acres, and that was changed to eight rooms per 25 acres. There are additional requirements that accessory buildings used by guests myst be at least 100 feet from the property line. Tom Tepper and Jim Gannon expressed concerns about allowing such large scale developments. Mr. Tepper said they should be restricted to hard surfaced roads. Wakefield district representative Werner Krebser said, “We have tried to go the other way — to slow traffic down See Planners, Page A-6 Driveway Project Moves Ahead The Library Board moved somewhat closer to getting a paved clriveway and parking lot for the county library at last week ’s Thutudn^iameUag^. ^ ,,, A motion was passed 7-0 to pursue paving the parking lot and driveway with Joy Sloane abstaining. “I hate to put an impervious surface down ” Mrs. Sloane said. Then the board had. an indentical vote to ask the Friends of the Rappahannock Library to assess how much they could contribute to such a project. The cost is estimated at 20,000 to $25,000. The board has $5,000 set aside for siich a project and the possibility of asking to use $4,000 turned over to the county at the end of the last budget year. A further motion to have the Buildings and Grounds Committee prepare specifications and information for presentation to the board at the September meeting passed unanimously. President Roberta Anderson said she had received a request from Diana Bird, chairman of the Friday evening program committee, that the board allocate $200 to pay outside speakers. Mrs. Anderson said she felt such a request should be dealt with at the time the budget is being prepared. Several members said they felt the program committee should continue to use local volunteer speakers. Charles Jenkins Earns GED While on the Job With VDOT Charles W. Jenkins Jr. proudly tells you that he passed the General Educational Development (GED) test to earn an equivalency diploma, a diploma showing his formal education is equal to that of a high school graduate. Now in his mid twenties, Mr. Jenkins admits that he personally didn’t recognize the value of an education and of completing high school when he quit school and started to work about eight years ago. He quit when a sophomore at Rappahannock County High School. As a "Student, Mr. Jenkins says in reflection; “1 didn't think I’d really needed it (a high school education).” Amplifying, he frankly adds that “out in the real world they (an education and high school diploma) are more important than I though they were.” After leaving school behind, Mr. Jenkins worked at different times as a part-time farm helper and construction worker. About two and a half years ago he joined the Virginia Department of Transportation as a maintenance crew member at the Warrenton Area Headquarters in Fauquier County. Thi<s is when it , turned around for him. Mr. Jenkins learned VDOT encourages and supports adult education. He jumped at the chance and enrolled at the first opportunity. He became a student in classes taught at the Fauquier High School’s Adult Education Center under the administration of program coordinator Rebecca Jones and tutelage of instructors Donna Torrens and Betty Owens. Warrenton resident engineer Bob Moore is glad Mr. Jenkins did take advantage of the pro gram, saying; “We hope Charles Jenkins’ achievement will set an example and encourage others to follow." For the department, Mr. Moore continues, “VDOT management is made aware of the value of the Adult Continuing Education by demonstrating that it works." After Mr. Jenkins signed up, he spent four hours each week in late fall, winter and early spring, as a student, learning what he missed by dropping out of school while boosting his self confidence to pass the test. It took two years plus countless hours of study outside the adult education classroom. Sometimes, Mr. Jenkins admits, that he had to take the chiding of some of his fellow crew members. They often pointed a finger, saying the adult education program participants were merely doing it to get some time off. “Some say you got to waste time,” notes Mr. Jenkins. But he showed them how wrong they were: “I got it (the equivalency diploma). That should prove to them I didn’t (waste time).” Mr. Jenkins is a Rappahannock County native. He lives with his grandparents, Edward and Barbara Jenkins, near Washington. Though chronologically a young adult, Mr. Jepkins makes some observations about the value of continuing adult education reflecting a maturity exceeding this youthfulness. “,..(l)t should be mandatory” for everyone in the department who has not completed their high school education, he said, voicing his conviction of the value of education and the need to complete high school. “It’s for their own good,” Mr. Jenkins observes. “They’re going to profit from it.” Photo courtesy of VDOT Charles W. Jenkins Jr. earned his GED.

Sperryville Resident Heads Up Vet Lab [ Community Calendar ; ! By CINDY MAHAN [ * R»pp»hannock New Sliff Writer The Virginia Department of ; Agricultural and Consumer Services ■ Regulatory Lab in Warrenton provides * lab services for residents of Rappahannock and surrounding counties. The animal health lab is one of five in the state, the others being in Harrisonburg, Ivor, Lynchburg and "VVytheville. The lab’s main purpose is - to prevent, control and diagnose livestock and poultry diseases. Testing is offered in bacteriology, serology, virology, parasitology, pathology and field diagnostics. Sperryville resident Joe Garvin 1 has been the Director and * Diagnostician of the lab for the past * five years. Dr. Garvin and his staff of ‘three microbiologists, a microbiologist supervisor, a lab aide and a necropsy technician, offer support to veterinarians and farmers to test their . afiimals for diseases, and to do necrop‘ sies to determine cause of death. “We * hre here primarily for agricultural and 'horse owners,” said Dr. Garvin. • ' About 50 percent of Dr. Garvin’s lime on the job is performing necropsies (post-mortem examinations) of animals. He performed 179 necropsies ’. dtiring January through June of this ‘ year, the majority on cattle, though he * has also done post-mortems on more unusual animals such as peafowl, a cpckatiel, a red deer and a hamster. Some veterinarians handle these on - their own, but many bring animals to RFA Fall Festival Planned The Rappahannock Farmers’ Association will be hosting a Fall - Festival at Windsor Lodge Farm . beginning at 5 p.m. and lasting until ' 11 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14. The event will feature a dinner consisting of beef, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, rolls, dessert and beverage. Hotdogs and hamburgers • "will also be provided for children. • • The activities tentatively scheduled 1 for the evening will include a raffle of a; steer to be butchered and processed • at the winner’s discretion. There will also be an auction of items including . prints and paintings by local artists, meals for two at various local restau• rants and assorted items for farm use.

When the necropsy is completed, the results are reported to the vet who then notifies the client of the results. The prices are $35 for livestock, horses, poultry, ratites (large flightless birds like ostrichs and emus) and llamas, and $45 for pets and exotics. More and more people are buying exotic animals in the area, according to Dr. Garvin. Microbiologists work in several rooms in the lab, supervised by Dr. Beth Henricson, who holds a doctorate in microbiology and commutes to the lab daily from Maryland. She is responsible for quality control at all the labs in the state. Primarily for cattle, tests are conducted for brucellosis. Though Virginia is Currently free of brucellosis, said Dr. Garvin, and has been for several years, cattle are routinely tested for this when sold or slaughtered. A lot of horse vets use the lab for equine testing, said Dr. Garvin. One type of testing done in the lab is for CEM — contagious equine metritis — which is a foreign animal disease. The testing is required of breeding animals coming into this country. The lab works with cultures from the animals; if the result is negative, the animal can be released to go to their destination. Testing for Potomac hor$g fever, which causes diarrhea in horses, is also done in the lab. The lab performs about 15,000 Coggins tests annually, a test for anemia which is required of Virginia horses if they are going to show or otherwise be on the road. The milk lab tests raw milk and ice cream, with samples of milk coming in daily from area dairy farms. The milk is tested for antibiotics, added water and bacterial contamination. Samples are collected by Virginia Department of Agriculture dairy inspectors and brought into the lab for testing. Dr. Garvin said that in his job he gets to see and talk to a lot of people daily, which keeps him up to date on what’s going on in the business. “That is one of the best parts of my job. From a professional standpoint, it is great,” he said. Dr. Garvin attended the vet school at Virginia Tech, and the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He had a private practice in Harrisonburg for large and small animals before working for the State of Vnginia for the past eight years. The lab, which is cramped in its current brick building on Shirley Avenue in Warrenton, will be moving to a brand new building next year, which will double its space to 8,000 square feet. Dr. Garvin and his staff can hardly wait. The lab hours are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the lab can be reached by calling 347-6385.

According to State Trooper C.A. Moore, Jimmy David Norman of Woodville was driving a 1995 Plymouth on Route 620 about 2:30 p.m. when, due to driver inattention, he ran up behind another vehicle, applied his brakes, skidded off the right side of the road and struck a fence. He was wearing a seat belt. Mr. Norman was taken to Culpeper Hospital. Charges of reckless driving are pending, said Trooper Moore. . On August 20 about 10:45 p.m., Richard B. Drake, 40, of Flint Hill, was driving a 1994 GMC pickup 6n Route 729,1/2 mile south of U.S. 211, when he ran off the right side of the road, lost control of the vehicle, crossed over both lanes, struck an embankment and overturned. Trooper S. Knick charged Mr. Drake with driving under the influence. Two chain saws were reported missing from an outbuilding on Thursday at the Jennifer Gallagher residence on Route 618 in Castleton. Major Rick MacWelch said that some fingerprints were lifted from the building and the matter is under investigation. Charles McCoy, 18, of Chester. Gap, was issued a summons for illegal dumping last Saturday, after five bags of trash and a woman’s purse were found on Route 6JO in Chester Gap. Major MacWelch said that Deputy Chris Williams sifted through the trash and found pieces of mail, leading him to Mr. McCoy, who returned and picked up the trash.

Currently the ordinance specifies that a bed and breakfast can have only six rooms for guests. Any facility with more guest spaces must be something other than a bed and breakfast, but exactly what has not been spelled out. These amendments attempt to rectify that situation. Up to 20 double occupancy rooms is a country inn, lodge or retreat center. More than 20 double occupancy rooms is a resort or conference center. , Further the proposed amendments spell out a density restriction. There may be no more than eight double occupancy rooms for each 25 acres in the property. Some speakers at last week’s public hearing on the proposed amendments said they were not restrictive enough. Others said they were too restrictive. That is a pretty good indication that the planners got the restrictions about right. The agricultural and conservation zones of Rappahannock County are ideally suited to such uses, but however much new owners may feel such activities benefit the county, current residents want to make .sure they do not take away from their pleasure in the property they already own. The density might be increased slightly, but the principal that the number of potential guests should be limited by the overall acreage of the property seems sound. The Schools Rappahannock’s public schools are taking hits again because of the Literacy Passport Test results. While the results in 1996 were disappointing, it should be pointed out that nearly 61 percent of the sixth graders passed the writing test on their first try. In math 77 percent passed on the first try, and in reading nearly 72 percent passed on the first try. While that is fewer than the 94 percent who passed each of the tests on the first try in 1993, nobody knows why that year produced such spectacular results or exactly how to duplicate them. Many of those complaining support private or church related schools, but students at those schools do not have to take the Literacy Passport Tests. Maybe they would all pass all three tests as sixth graders, but that is far from proven. School Superintendent David Gangel has said results will improve by the spring of 1997. His suggestion that the School Board set as a goal having 80 percent pass all three tests was rejected by the board because a goal of less than 100 percent success seemed unworthy. Dr. Gangel did not say he could guarantee that 80 percent would pass the tests. Let’s wait and see what the current year brings and what the administration’s plans are. Yaaaah.. Zeez eez * C°r>ferer>ce Coo|4,‘e Letters y;< mm Money Not The Problem To the Editor: 1 would like to express my concern for our local school system and how it is being managed. Year after year local taxes have steadily increased to fund this school system, while breaking the backs of its hard working citizens. What do we have to show for this investment? Most county residents, if they had the choice (vouchers), would send their children to private schools or homeschool them. Citizens know that this public school system (and most public schools in general) are failing. It has taken to the present for the Rappahannock school system to finally admit that “whole language” instruction has been failing, while most private schools and some respectable public schools have long been aware of this. Sixth grade percentages for passing all three passport tests have declined from 82.6 percent in 1993 to an embarrassing 47.3 percent in 1996. In response tor reasons why, Dr. Gangel said “I’m not sure we can ever get to the point where we can say this is what happened ” “Dr.” Tole claims this problem has developed over time and it will take time to fix. We do not have time, “Dr.” Tole! “Dr.” Gangel would like the goal set at 80 percent passing. Sho.uld not the goal be 100 percent? Recently, Principal Raye Tupper claims the abysmal results are due to declining federal money for instruction. yet the school system has money for air conditioning in the auditorium, new computers, two new computer labs, money and time for “enrichment” such as longer periods for music and arts, a school newspaper, drama and forensics and let’s not forget the “ecology club”! After all this, there \yill be more time at lunch for “students to sit with their friends and go outside when they are finished eating.” It is great according to Mrs. Tupper that students in kindergarten through seventh grade can have particularly positive interaction with each other. With “Dr.” Gangel having no idea what the problems are, “Dr.” Tole claiming it will take tiirte to fix those unknown problems, and Principal Tupper handling pressing issues like positive interaction, it is no wonder why our schools are failing. Money is not the problem. It is being applied wrong! School is for learning math, history, English and science. Until these subjects are mastered at that grade level, everything else is secondary. This includes computers. Remember, quality computer information is irrelevant to an illiterate user. Though I think our school leadership is well meaning, they are unfortu Our Rappahannock Heritage KappanannocK News aiair rnoio Dy c,inuy maiiaii Horses enjoy grazing in this pasture that can be seen on U.S. 522 near Woodville. nately failing. We can stand around smiling together like a happy little village or we can look for some solutions! Let’s start by firing everybody with a “Dr.” in front of their name and install new leadership with old fashioned basics the primary concern. The new leadership, teachers, and most importantly the parents (not the village) should be held accountable for each child’s education. Instituting this locally and throughout our nation our public schools should be able to compete with third world countries and maybe someday compete with modem industrialized nations. JOSEPH E. REINBOLDT Viewtown Guarantees To the Editor: The August 14th issue of The Rappahannock News reported that Dr. Gangel, our School Superintendent, stated to the School Board that if they asked him to he could “guarantee” a 80 percent passing rate of the Literacy Passport Test which also means a 20 percent guaranteed failure rate. This test is given first in the 6th grade. It can be retaken in the 7th and 8th grades if not passed, but the State emphasizes passing it the first time and rightly so. Which brings the Rappahannock schools to the dilemma they now face — only 47.3 percent passed the test last school term. If not passed by the 8th grade, the student cannot accumulate credits toward graduation in the 9th grade. I have a few questions for the readers to think about and the school administration, including the teachers, to answer. I would like Dr. Gangel to explain to the 20 percent of the county’s parents whom he is guaranteeing their child’s failure just why they were selected to fail while their neighbor’s child who was in the 80 percent was not given this guarantee. If these scores can actually be guaranteed, what has he been doing the past three years as these scores steadily dropped and are now among the lowest in the state? I’ve been wondering what can he mean by a “guarantee.” Is he talking about “outcome-based education,” manipulated test scores, or what? A guarantee is not a shot in the dark and hope you made it. There must be a proven means for a desired result. An explanation of this concept is due us by Dr. Gangel and the School Board, and I would like to see it given in an open public forum format. Our taxes will be paying for it, and we are entitled to an answer — not the stoic response received on their Goals 2000 vote. The fact is the school administration and teachers are not held accountable to the parents but to the School Board, and this we can do something about. If you think your child should be guaranteed the right to receive grades that will allow him/her to graduate and go to a prestigious college if they so choose, contact your School Board representative and ask him to see that the school administration raises its expectations and guarantees 100 percent passing, if they can guarantee anything at all. . v Our schools are doing poorly academically. The School Board and then the Board of Supervisors are ultimately responsible. The Board of Supervisors should demand much better test results before they tax the citizens another extra cent for the schools.. It’s not lack of money but motivation.' Both of these elected bodies have ' been believing the fantasy that th§ * “Emperor has new clothes.” Our chil- - dren’s test scores show the Emperor (Rappahannock County school system) is almost naked. It’s time theseboards and the taxpayers get embar-. rassed by the situation. CATHY FRAZIER Z Amissvill$ ; Flowers Named For St. Anne : To the Editor: Writing of the lovely and ubiquitous Queen Anne’s Lace in the August . 14 issue of the Rappahannock News, • naturalist John Trott states, “I. do not - know which Queen Anne gave her name to this plant.” The plant is named, not for a queen of England or France, but for" the apocryphal St. Anne, according to legend the mother of Mary and hence grandmother of Jesus. She was much loved and venerated in the late Middle Ages and was honored as patron by numerous craftsmen (and women), ^ including lacemakers. The graceful wildflower blooming'. along our roadsides and in our fields 1 might more accurately be called “St. ; Anne’s Lace.” MARGARET GUENTHER. Sperryville; Study Alternatives to Sewers Now By ROBERT T. DENNIS Former Chairman Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority One hears talk in Rappahannock County today about sewers. Possibly a sewer system for Washington. Maybe more sewers for Sperryville. Sewers in the commercial zones. As a taxpayer, this talk makes me nervous. So, I urge the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors to spend some of my tax dollars to research the issues here ahead of time — rather than after present options cease to exist. An ounce of prevention is far preferable to what would be many pounds of cure. Unfortunately, we need look no farther than Culpeper, Fauquier, or Warren counties to see what may soon confront us — the wrong kinds of residential and commercial developments in the wrong places, not only unsightly but also environmentally and financially destabilizing. And we need go no farther than Sperryville or the county’s schools to experience the local economic impacts of ever more stringent national and state clean water requirements. 1 believe that the people of Rappahannock support those clean water requirements. We know we reside in one of Earth’s great ecosystems — the Chesapeake Bay watershed — and that it is in deep trouble, best evidenced by the near eradication of its famous oysters. Though only a tiny part of the Chesapeake ecosystem, Rappahannock and its residents have contributed to the Bay’s deterio* ration since the first land was convert* ed to tobacco in the 1700s. Now we are in process of restoration, which means we must properly dispose of our wastes — which could indeed, if we are not careful, require that we build more sewers. But, rather than build more sewers, we might better minimize the production of wastewater by focusing on the responsibili ties of individual landowners. As we discuss these issues, let us keep in mind two fundamentals: 1) To build more sewers, we’ll have to spend our money. When the Sperryville sewage system was built, we relied for most of the financing on one of the nation’s last 85 percent sewage treatment construction grants. It was provided under Federal policy designed to assist in cleaning up the backlog of existing pollution problems (Sperryville was Number 5 on Virginia’s health hazard list), leaving communities basic responsibility only for preventing new pollution. The sewers being discussed today are primarily for wastes that don’t yet exist. A county that has voted quite consistently for lower state and federal taxes, Rappahannock shouldn’t even begin to hope for new grant-in-aid policies. New sewers will be built with our money. And it will be big money — millions of dollars, overall, maybe several thousand per family. 2) Much of that money will likely have to come from the rea| property tax. It is my guess that no group of new sewer users in Rappahannock could possibly afford to build a system all by themselves. Too few people would be involved. Users of today’s Sperryville system find it burdensome just to pay operating costs. And state law gives Rappahannock no major general revenue source other than the real property tax. That’s why I ask the county to • •pend a bit of our tax money now, before we arrive at any slippery slope. It ought to employ a competent engineering firm — for probably somewhere in the five-figure range — to assess our wastewater future, and to give us an advance general understanding of the options we may have to confront. Is it economically realistic even to consider sewer systems dis charging into streams as small as the Covington or the Rush? (If not, why does the comprehensive plan allow all that commercial development along U.S. 211?) Could we build a septictank based system such as the one at Sperryville and treat the liquid portion for farm and forest use, while hauling the solids for disposal elsewhere — thus avoiding the requirements governing instream discharge? (How would that option be regarded in a county opposed to agricultural use of sewage sludge?) I suggest the county also seek outside help, at least some of which might be free, in brain-storming new septic field requirements. Most of us here rely on private wells for water supply; we know from Sperryville twenty years ago and perhaps Washington today that septic fields don’t always function as promised, The Time Machine From the Rappahannock News back when 30 Years Ago August 25, 1966 Ihe annual HQuse Tour and Dried Flower Arrangement X. Sale by the Women of the Church of Bromfield Parish will be held Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, Oct. 23. The P.T.A. of the Washington Elementary School will conduct a second-hand book sale again this year. Second-hand books are available from the 2nd grade through the 7th. The Madison Livestock Market, Inc., at Madison Mills marks its tenth anniversary of continuous operation on Saturday, August 27. thereby endangering nearby wells —• especially when those septic fields serve large commercial operations. In * particular, while “upward” septic failure can be easily recognized, “downward” failure cannot. Should all new septic fields in Rappahannock County above a certain size be required to incorporate permanent“downward” monitoring features? How about all new septic fields serving small lots? Suburban builders are routinely required td post bonds to assure completion of streets and sidewalks; what about bonds covering, commercial-scale septic systems to ensure that the county is not stuck ■ with big bills if they fail? There may be many options. The time is right to address these issues. Sewers are being discussed absent factual context.

Basketball Teams Scrimmage By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer* Junior varsity girls’ basketball coach Rhonda Jenkins was very pleased with the turnout for her team. There were 22 girls trying out in all. She was able to keep only 12 on the team (that is the number of' uniforms available), but three will continue practicing with the team as player managers. There are four sophomores on the team and eight freshmen. Sophomore guard Sandy Oliver, forward/center Beth Magee, center Mandolyn Ashby and forward Shanna Nicholson will lend experience to the team. Freshman guards Sandy Oliver and Michelle Woodard will be joined by three girls who can play either guard Qr forward: Rebecca Metcalfe, Alice Gentry and Berkeley Hobson arid forwards Amy Freeborn, Katy Wilson, Rebecca Sonya Wiggington and Dawn Havstad guard a Clarke County player in Monday evening’s scimmage. Harriers Practice By the time school started this Monday, the RCHS cross country team had been training hard for two weeks. Last week, Coach Dave van de Graaff led them on early morning runs through Old Hollow, Gid Brown Hollow, and then from Five Forks to Fletcher’s Mill. Their first home scrimmage will be against Page County next Wednesday on the course at the Bleu Rock Inn. R OBLEMt Call Credit Approval Cent# I 800-635-0730 c- Van Help! All applications accepted!

Player managers are freshmen Kyla Andreoni and Sonya Anderson and eighth grader Amber Welch. “I think we have a lot of talent and a really big team height wise,” Coach Jenkins said. Eight returned from last year’s JV; three have played at other schools but not at RCHS, and four are basically new to the game. With only four schools in the new Bull Run District, Coach Jenkins expects her team to be in the running throughout the season. She said any of the 12 could become starters and looked forward to the start of competition to get a better idea of how the girls will perform. “There is a lot of potential. I think they will really play well together,” she added. Both the varsity and JV struggled Monday in scrimmages with Clarke County, with the JV falling behind and the varsity getting the better of the Eagles. Varsity Coach Laura Conklin said that last year all her varsity team needed was a point guard. She said that Sonya Wigington filled that position very well at Monday night’s scrimmage. She has no doubt that Sonya, who is just a freshman this year, will be the best player in the district by her senior year. Sonya has only been playing organized ball few one year, she added. Coach Conklin said her team played great defense on Monday night and she believes her players will complement each other nicely. “Almost everyone stole the ball at least once,” she said. “I am excited because I see such a tremendous change already from last year,” she added.

► Planners From Page A-l by not having hard surfaced roads. Mr. Tepper said, “you are putting these out in the country somewhere. If I was a neighbor, I would not be happy with that. You can control speed with roundabouts or bumps or whatever, but you cannot control wear and tear on gravel roads. Mr. Gannon asked the intent was to have more control. Chairman Mike Massie said, “Our intention isn’t to make it more difficult for the applicant but to protect the public.” Mr. Gannon asked if guests would be allowed to come right up to the property line. County Administrator John McCarthy said that would be possible. Then Mr. Gannon asked if a stream were the property line could 100 guests be swimming in the stream. Mr. McCarthy agreed that could happen also. However, he noted that general standards for special use permits and special exceptions require that the use “not adversely affect neighboring property owners enjoyment of their property. Mr. Massie noted that neighbors could appear at the public hearing for such an application and request conditions on the applicant. Eileen Day said,”I think the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have done a really great job of keeping the county the way we want it to stay. I’m wondering why you are using acreage per se...It’s maybe one wonderful use of land, not adding to the tax burden.” She said the restriction on the number of rooms could make some properties difficult if not impossible to sell. She gave as an example Briargate on 46 acres, which has a large main house with 11 bedrooms, a guest cot tage and two other buildings that could be adapted to house guests. “You could accomplish what you want to accomplish on 46 acres or 38 acres.” Mrs. Day said, “The worst thing that could happen is subdivisions of people. This is a clean industry. If you keep piling on restrictions, we could get challenged. Somebody could say you are discriminating against somebody with 35 acres. With this type of business you employ our local people. Be careful you don’t restrict too much. Be careful about restricting the landowner’s use of land, particularly in conservation zones.” David Adoff said he had been looking for property for a country inn or retreat. “One piece was 42 acres open and another was 50 acres in trees. The impact on the 42 acres open is much greater than the 50 acres. Going through on acres is not the best way.” Piedmont District representative Tom Junk noted that there was nothing r to prevent the landowner from buying more land from an adjoining landowner to have enough land for more bedrooms. The planners agreed to increase the density to eight rooms per 25 acres and to allow that density to be prorated for properties of odd sizes, so a property like Briargate could have 15 rooms. The proposed amendments also increase the minimum acreage for a golf course to 150 acres and state that that acreage could not also be counted for housing density. Earlier the planners had recommended approval for a special use permit for Bill and Jeanne Marie Jarett to add an efficiency apartment to a stable on property they bought from Allen Olson. A further application for a contractor’s office on property behind the Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-op was tabled when the applicant did not appear and Mrs. Day said his contract to purchase the property had been withdrawn. ► Blueridge From Page A-l According to Dr. Samuel Metters, the Chief Executive Officer of Metters Industries, “Blueridge is already the leader in Internet-based document management technology. Combined with the advanced scanning technology offered by Mekel, and the technical, training and services expertise offered by Metters Industries, our expanded company will offer our clients a unique range of state-of-theart technologies, services, and support unmatched in the industry.” Founded in 1988, Blueridge Technologies is one of die industry’s oldest and most respected providers of electronic document management systems (EDMS), marketing its technology under the registered trademark of OFTIX. Long the leading industrial-strength document imaging and * -- workflow system for Apple Macintosh computers, in 1994 OPTIX became the first electronic document management system to. offer workflow, document imaging,, document control, COLD and natural language text retrieval for both Windows and Macintosh workstations. Via the new OptixWEB inter-, face, OPTIX also supports popular WfcB browsers, including Netscape Navigator, Mosiac, and Internet Explorer from Microsoft, as well as all the client platforms these products support, including Windows, Macintosh and UNIX workstations. Dr. Jamieson said the merger is not expected to change Blueridge Technologies from an operational standpoint. He feels that the space the company occupies in Flint Hill will be large enough for the time being, though he sees expansion of the building a possibility in the future. Blueridge Technologies employs 25, with 21 in the Flint Hill office, two in Sausalito, California, one in Los Angeles, and one in Memphis.

Community News Obituaries 'Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds Come and Meet Those Dancing Feet I . By TINA GIFFIN * • Rappahannock News Special Writer - • Hot pink flyers touting Duvall -Dance have enticed many to “Put The Moves On Your Man.” I ’“Beginners wanted. Partners optional,” the ad assures. So the ballroom dance class in Flint Hill is a Triendly mix of couples and singles, •experienced dancers and stumble•footed learners. ' It is about 8 p.m. on a Tuesday at the Public House in Flint Hill, and Sharon Duvall’s ballroom dance cila&s is just getting started. Ms. Duvall greets people as they come in the door. Most she knows by name. ■(Two of her pupils are known only as Fred and Ginger.) As the room starts to fill up, Ms. Duvall puts on music — something lyrical but peppy, like Frank Sinatra — and tells people to pair off and practice. It is obvious that people are enjoying themselves. Some couples swirl around the room in an impressive display of skill. Others hum with the music or grin at their partners. The less practiced can be heard counting softly as they step in time — slow, slow, quick-quick or back, back, side-side. Or, as one gentleman likes to count they rhythm, “Blah, blah, blah-blah.” “Switch partners!” Ms. Duvall calls as the song comes to an end. This is usually a signal to break into conversation. “I keep losing a step on that turn,” someone says. “Try it again this way,” another instructs. “I always end up on the wrong foot,” replies a third. “Okay, guys,” Ms. Duvall says as she starts the next song. “Remember to keep your lead arm strong. Women love a strong man,” she says with a sly grin. The class laughs with her as people quickly look around for a new partner. The large room, lit by a bright chandelier, is lined with chairs and a wall of windows. It is reminiscent of those cotillion classes many took when they were 12, where the boys and girls gravitated to opposite sides of the room and only ventured into Instructor Sharon Duvall leads the men through the steps of the fox trot. Fantastic' Night at Camp : By NAOMI SMOOT - Rappahannock News Intern Last Tuesday many local organizations participated in Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic at the 4-H .

Peterson Will Be Missed : : By JOHN TROTT * • Rappahannock News Contributing Writer ; . J last saw Roger Tory Peterson on ; Earth Day, April 22, 1995. He and Mrs. Peterson were present at the dedication of the Peterson Garden, a butterfly garden on the elegant grounds of The Airlie Foundation near Warrenton. The garden, in the - shape of a butterfly, looked decidedly I unprepossessing; it had just been ‘ planted. • • ' Peterson was, as always, affable. 'Evita' Auditions Scheduled • The Fauquier Community Theatre has moved into newly conditioned quarters at Vint Hill Farms Station on the Fauquier Prince William county line. The first production will be Evita the first three weekends in November. Auditions are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, and 1 p.m. on courteous and never condescending to the small number of invited guests. When it came my turn to shake his hand, he remembered me and spoke my name. Amazing. It had been years since I had seen him. Peterson was listening, as always, for birds. A Carolina Wren exploded into song from the density of a thick shrub: “a clear 3-syllabled chant.” Peterson smiled and nodded. He was pleased with this other guest at the dedication ceremony. This guest had Saturday Sept. 7, at the Vint Hill Farms Station Theater. Martha Lynch will be directing. Come prepared with 16 bars of music (but not from Evita), and wear clothing comfortable for dance. From U.S. 29 north take Route 215 south and follow signs to Vint Hill Farms Station. his say and did not wait to be introduced. The day after I learned of Roger Tory Peterson’s death, I was again in the Peterson Garden at Airlie. It was filled with color and variety; it was also filled with people who were using A Field Guide to the Butterflies. We were conducting an official count. 1 saw people using A Field Guide to.the Wildflowers to check identification of some of the blooms. I had A Field Guide to the Birds in my back pocket. •When a Carolina Wren erupted into loud, emphatic song from a thick head of rosy-purple Joe Pye Weed, questioning faces turned to me for naming. How pleased Peterson would have been with this scene; pleased with the garden, its human butterfly counters and — most of all — with the wren’s contribution. The death of Roger Tory Peterson marked the end of an era for American birds, bird watchers and the whole of American wildlife. Paterson’s passing also signaled the beginning of another era, all set in motion by this greatest of 20th century naturalist-teachers. enemy territory if the chaperon insisted. In fact, when she teaches new steps or reviews old ones, Ms. Duvall segregates students just like those old cotillion classes, teaching the men their part first and then the women. The similarity between 12-yearold cotillion parties and these classes ends there. Cotillion wasn’t nearly this much fun. Ms. Duvall has been teaching in this area for several years and has been teaching ballroom dance for 20 years. Although there are people in the class who have never danced a day in their lives, Ms. Duvall’s habit of reviewing basic steps every week, combined with her sense of humor, helps people get over their nervousness and encourages them to learn at their own pace. She starts off this class with a review of the fox trot. With the men lined up behind her, she walks through the basic box step. She puts up , her arms as if holding a partner and takes two slow steps forward, then two quick steps to the side, two slow steps back, then two quick to the side. The line of men obediently follows along behind. After a little practice, she shows them a new step to work on, answering questions as she goes. She then turns around and repeats the process with the women behind her. Then it’s time to dance. As she puts on more music — maybe Ella Fitzgerald this time — people choose partners and begin to practice the steps they just reviewed. Ms. Duvall wanders among the dancers, trying to avoid the inevitable collisions, giving one-onone instruction where she can. As the music ends she again tells people to switch partners and keep dancing. Usually before class is over, each person has had a chance to dance with almost every possible partner in the room. Couples who come together often only dance together once or twice until the class is over. Before class ends, Ms. Duvall teaches or reviews two or three different dances. This class will include instruction in the fox trot, the swing and the rumba, and she promises to teach the Argentine Tango soon. At 9:30 p.m., class officially ends, but Ms. Duvall puts on mixed dance songs and invites people to stay as long as they like. Sometimes Times Community Newspapers Staff Photos by Heather Hall Lilo Foster and Mike Garcia ham it up for the camera. she will informally show people other dances during this time, like the meriegue or the waltz. Ms. Duvall used to teach competitive ballroom dance in New York and has won several trophies in competition. These days, she said she just wants to have a class where peo cient that classmates often watch them when they can’t figure out quite what to do. Kate Sprague, on the other hand, came to class at a friend’s suggestion because, “It sounded like fun.” That was two months ago and she has not missed a class since. ‘We started because we wanted to learn the steps we'd been trying to figure out in our kitchen!. — Page Smith pie are having a good time. She is clearly successful by that measure. Several students have been taking lessons for some time and keep cording back for more. Page Smith and Michael Garcia, for example, have taken classes for two years. “We started because we wanted to learn the steps we’d been trying to figure out in our kitchen,” said Ms. Smith. They have become so profi Robert Hoffman said he always wanted to know “how to do this stuff and now seemed like as good a time as any.” At the end of each evening people straggle out bit by bit, waving goodbye to anyone who remains. Most leave grinning and promising to return next week. Aspiring fox trotters may call Duvall Dance at (540) 364-7609. Sawhill To Discuss Tropics By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Library’s Friday evening programs, after a summer recess, will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 13, with a talk and slide show by John.C. Sawhill. Mr. Sawhill is the president and chief executive officer of The Nature Conservancy, headquartered in Arlington. He will discuss protecting and saving tropical rain forests and coral reefs particularly in the Philippines and Indonesia. The Nature Conservancy is an international conservation organization with 850,000 members committed to the preservation of threatened ecosystems and wildlife habitats using a variety of techniques to accomplish its mission. The Conservancy has officers in many states, including one in Charlottesville. The summer “Virginia Chapter News” of the Conservancy features the acquisition, by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, through Conservancy action, of 1,000 acres on Buffalo Mountain in Floyd County. This peak, reaching to 3,971 feet, is now one of 16 natural area preserves covering more than 10,000 acres set aside to protect the state’s most significant species and natural communities. Mr. and Mrs. Sawhill have a home in Harris Hollow. Mr. Sawhill, who received his doctorate in economics from New York University, has had a distinguished career in business, primarily in the field of energy, in education as president of New York University, and in government service in the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations in the Department of Energy and the Office of Management and Budget. He is the author of a number of books, articles and reports. The activities and character of The Nature Conservancy are so many and important, and Mr. Sawhili’s background is so varied and extensive, that I have deposited material on both in a file in the Library.

As we remember those who labor, we honor ah skills, services, and professions, for it is the very diversity of the work force which allows our society to function smoothly. As we enjoy a well-earned holiday, let us remember to give thanks to God, the Creator of all intelligence and strength; and when we return to our diverse tasks may we do them with all of our might” for the glory of God.

Fred Hoffman started early in the business world, being involved with real estate deals while still only a teenager. Hired as a bookkeeper for Midland Lumber in the 1920’s, he soon became the owner and CEO, making it one of the largest lumber companies in Northern New Jersey. In time he owned lumber mills on the west coast, and co-founded Black Millwork Company. Many areas of Northern NJ were developed by Fred Hoffman, including the first Catholic Church in Midland Park. With the help of his closest friend and architect, Carl K. Loven, they turned a small bam into the Church of Nativity. They also constructed the convent for the nuns.
