121st Year ... No. 24 Phone (540)675-3338 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1998 Times Community Newspapers 50 cents Red flag briefing for board By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nearly two dozen residents attended the county school board meeting last week at the Rappahannock County Elementary School library. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke discussed the state’s Conflict of Interest and Freedom of Information Acts, citing “red flag areas” that the board members should keep in mind. “If you formally request a written opinion from the Commonwealth’s Attorney, you are protected from any civil or criminal prosecution,” Luke said. Board members must file their disclosure forms each year by Jan. 15. Luke recommended erring on the side of overdisclosure. “Sometimes the appearance of impropriety is such that a member may choose to disqualify themselves anyway,” he added. If a member declares a conflict, he or she cannot participate in any discussion or vote on the matter. Luke also explained that there are special provisions defined for school boards, including antinepotism rules. Two exceptions to these rules permit spouses or family members to continue working for the school system. People who already had jobs in the same work place before their marriage or a spouse who was employed before the other was elected to the school board may continue to be employed by the school system without violating the law. In outlining executive session procedures, Luke noted that “there are 27 separate reasons in the state code for going into executive session. At least five major ones apply to the board See BOARD, Page A5 Top of the class Rappahannock Nows Staff Photo'Carl Ebom Courtney Mauro and Brock Hermansen receive the valedictorian award (jointly) from RCHS Principal Jack Raines.

IB diploma program challenges students worldwide The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program booklet available from the county school board describes the program as a comprehensive course of studies for highly motivated high school students that incorporates requirements from several national education systems. It is managed by the International Baccalaureate Organization, a nonprofit education foundation based in Switzerland. The Rappahannock County School Board has re-instated funds [ in next year’s school budget to begin a study of the program and its possible benefits to students here. But, just what is the IB program? Its mission, in part, is to “assist schools to develop the individual talents of young people and teach them to relate the experience of the classroom to the realities of the world outside...Strong emphasis is placed on the ideals ofintemational understanding and responsible citizenship, to the end that IB students may become crit1 ical and compassionate thinkers, lifelong learners and informed participants in local and world affairs, conscious of the shared humanity that binds all people together while respecting the variety of cultures and attitudes that makes for the richness of life.” The IB program combines a strenuous academic core with a required interdisciplinary course called Theory of Knowledge and a “creativity, action, and service,” or CAS, component that focuses on the importance of Jife outside the demanding school program. Theory of Knowledge helps the students explore and question subjective and ideological biases in order to develop their own personal mode of thought based on analyzing evidence expressed in rational arguments. The CAS requirement includes participation in theater productions, sports, and community service activities that encourage young people to share their energies and special talents, while developing awareness, concern, and the ability to work cooperatively with other people. Diploma candidates also undertake original research and write an extended 4,000 word essay. The project provides an opportunity to investigate a single topic of special interest to the student and acquaints students with the kind of independent research and writing skills expected at the See PROGRAM, Page A1 Old Rag Bulletins Beginning June 20 the Sperryville Post Office will extend its window service closing time by one hour.

Rappahannock News f O Box 59 Washington. Va. 22747 (5401675*5338 (540i 675-3088 (fax) Public hearing well attended By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nearly two dozen town residents attended the Washington Town Council meeting last week which opened with two public hearings for special use permits. The council, led by Vice Mayor Steve Critzer, reviewed applications from the Historical Society and Foster Harris House Bed and Breakfast. The Historical Society requested approval to move the existing building closer to the street and add a new three-story addition to the rear of the building. Foster Harris House owner Olivia Byam Sought k side-yard exception to allow construction of a deck. Both applications had been approved by the Architectural Review Board and the zoning office. As a member of the board of directors of the Historical Society, treasurer Louise Van Dort disqualified herself from voting on that project due to potential conflict of interest. Discussion concerning the Historical Society building centered on parking issues, drainfield capacity, and future use of the building. Allison Lowry, environmental health specialist, notified County Administrator John McCarthy, that the new addition “will cause no additional stress to the existing (septic) system." The council approved both applications. Treasurer's report Van Dort presented the year’s final monthly report. Total consolidated assets, including Washington Waterworks accounts, came to $252,555.37. At her request, the council approved a motion to dispose of the final budget.

Band makes big sound in Florida By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School Band has plenty to be happy about this year. Besides receiving new instruments and new uniforms, besides winning some distinguished ratings and praise at Musicfest Orlando on May 30, they shared an enjoyable trip to Orlando, Fla. This was their first competition as a high school band. Ultimately, after playing and listening to other bands, they began to realize the difference between playing as individual musicians and performing as a connected, unified musical group. DavicJ Gillis, Band Booster president and chaperone on the trip, added that when the judge addressed the band after they performed, he told them that they made good music individually, but they needed to listen to the overall sound. Those not carrying the melody needed to drop their sound so other sections could hear, he said. The Rappahannock High School Band collected a perfect score for stage deportation (stage presence.) “They entered the stage in an See BAND, Page A6

Eastern flycatcher commentaries Recently, near the county dump on U.S. 522, I heard the loud and raucous call of a crested flycatcher, officially known as the Great Crested Flycatcher. Why “great?” The bird is not particularly large — only the size of a robin — but, to me, his call and aggressive alertness indicates he regards himself as “great.” Tb almost state that a bird thinks is not very scientific but it satisfies me to perceive the bird in such terms. The crested flycatcher yelps reep!; this is followed by a rolling and extended prrreet. It’s a startling call; a challenge to the world (and other crested flycatchers). Translated, I hear: “I am here! Take note!” Hearing the crested flycatcher set me to thinking of vocal announcements of the whole flycatcher family. These sharp-eyed birds capture their food by perching on an exposed, leafless branch and darting out to snap flying insects out of the air. This capture is often accompanied by an audible snap of the bill if one is close enough. Our world would have many more flies, mosquitoes, and gnats were it not for flycatchers. Few of the eastern flycatchers is strikingly marked; nor do any have colorful plumage. The crested flycatcher is, however, a pleasant combination of brownish gray, pale yellow and cinnamon. What this species lacks in color he makes up with his vocal equipment. Flycatch All Things Wild And Wonderful John Trott ers don’t have complex and extended songs such as cardinals and robins; none weave intricate notes into lengthy serenades like the mockingbird. The flycatchers are a complaining, testy and announcement-prone lot. My mother would have called them “mouthy.” That borders on the outer range of anthropomorphism. Yet, it pleases me to make the observation for I find this small family of birds intriguing. Possibly the phoebe — the Eastern Phoebe —• is the most well known flycatcher for the female builds her mud and moss nest under bridges, in sheds, and under porches. Home owners know when a phoebe is nesting on the premises because the male constantly flips his tail and calls phoebe, phoebe. This graybrown bird, the size of a sparrow, sounds as if exasperated and about at < he end of patience. The little bird seems to say: “Where are you, Phoebe? Why don’t you come when I call?” Though smaller, the wood pewee looks much like a Carnival slated for next week Amissville volunteers will open the fire and rescue company’s four-night carnival June 24. In addition to the annual Thursday parade, queen coronation ceremony Friday night and awarding of the grand prizes Saturday, of special interest will be a “Beanie Baby” raffle. Tickets will be sold each night on seven Beanie Baby packages which include Princess Di Bear, Erin Bear, Valentino Bear, Peace Bear and others, plus eight Teenie Beanie Babies. At the carnival close Saturday, awarding of the cash prizes, $1000, $500, two $50 and two $25, will take place. The Beanie Babies will be given away at that time. Box suppers Bankki it? REPOSSESSION?

His plaintive, melancholy pee-a-wee, is part of Virginia summers when days are hot and still. The pewee’s whine drifts down from great elms and oaks and seems to say, “It’s so hot.” I listen carefully when a summer day is windless, oppressive and the sky in the west is the color of a grackle’s wing. The pewee will drop the last syllable and only sing, peea, pee-a in a long, drawn-out lamentation. This is the flycatcher’s way of predicting a thunder storm. I suppose the bird senses some change in the barometric pressure. I learned of how the pewee predicts a storm from my father in North Carolina many years ago. Now I always listen for a change in the pewee’s lament. Rarely has a storm failed to follow. The kingbird — Eastern Kingbird in the books — is a testy, prickly bird, always ready for a fight. The full fam ily name of the flycatcher family is “Tyrant Flycatchers.” The kingbird is a tyrant indeed. No other bird, small or large is tolerated in his territory. The kingbird will not hesitate to attack a crow or hawk many times his size. The kingbird is a strikingly marked bird being white on the throat and breast, black on the head and back, with a distinct white band to the tip of the tail. As I drive along country roads, a kingbird often darts up and flies alongside the car with quivering wing tips. Peterson describes a kingbird’s vocal output as “....a rapid sputter of high bickering notes: dzee-dzee, dzee.... also a nasal dzeeb.” I can’t improve on that except to comment that kingbird seems to be saying; “Don’t mess with me!” No indeed, I would not like to be a hawk venturing over a kingbird’s nesting territory. It would be like an attack by a well-armed, fast flying, persistent and very large mosquito. ARB approves applications By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Architectural Review Board met last Thursday night to review three applications from town businesses and a fourth from prospective property owner Charles Smoot Jr. June Jordan, representing Joyce Kramer’s Packing Shed Comer at the intersection of Gay and Porter Streets, received approval for three routine signs. Acting chair, Donna Kevis, and Jay Monroe, architect, disqualified themselves when Charles and Carroll Kevis presented a request to modify their Main Street residence. The couple intends to enlarge the kitchen, relocate several windows, and close in an upper and lower porch for bathrooms. The ARB approved the plans in concept, pending receipt of window dimensions and color scheme. Rex Slack and Laurie Marshall also received approval in concept to tear down an existing shed. They plan to build a 600 square foot twostory studio workshop on approximately the same site. According to Slack and Marshall, the building would not be visible from the street and there were no streets to the rear of the property. ARB member Tanya Richey questioned the board’s jurisdiction over the building proposal. Smoot presented a walk-in application for approval to erect a small vinyl-sided prefabricated cottage on a lot at the end of Gay Street extended, next to the Odd Fellows building on the Fodderstack Road. Purchase of the property hinged on the board’s approval of the proposed house. The board discussed in depth the appropriateness of vinyl siding within the town limits. They ultimately approved Smoot’s application in concept pending his submitting a more formal application.

All mail sent on that date from the Washington Post Office will bear this cancellation stamp. There are 100 signed and handpainted prints in the edition. Richey is known internationally for her work and owns the Tanya Richey Studio and Windflower Gallery in Washington, Va. Celebration plans underway The Tbwn of Washington’s upcoming Fourth of July celebration has a special highlight this year with the design of its own commemorative postmark which will be stamped on mail bought to a special booth along Gay Street during the day-long vendor’s craft show. The special cancellation postmark, sponsored by the Town of Washington, was created by Tanya Richey at the request of U.S. Postmaster Linda Butler. It depicts the village with the town’s name and date of July 4, 1998. The postmark, which is especially interesting for stamp collectors, is valid for the one date of July 4. Framed drawings of the pictorial postmark are on sale at the Tanya Richey Studio and Windflower Gallery located on the comer of Main Street and Piedmont Avenue. In addition to the U.S. Postal Service booth, there will be several dozen other vendors displaying their crafts. One of them is Peter Scott of Castleton who is a caricaturist and will be drawing from his booth throughout the day. The Eagle Scouts will be doing fingerprint demonstrations in which they will take fingerprints and put them on a card. “They’re not going to send them to the FBI,” laughed Charlie Tompkins, who heads the Fourth of July vendor committee.

The program would be a real asset to students capable of taking advantage of it. How can a program that fosters the ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship be a bad thing? Through the interdisciplinary course called Theory of Knowledge and a “creativity, action, and service,” or CAS, program (part of the IB) students are required to participate in the arts, sports and community activities which encourage them to share their energies and talents with their community. The program helps - students develop into compassionate, concerned members of society. It’s hard to figure how that could possibly be construed as detrimental.

Judy Tole RCHS After Prom Party Committee Chair Avoid being a dog bite victim » rilhe first week of this ; X month the Humane ' ‘ Society of the United States • and the United States Postal • Service (USPS) joined to rec’ ognize National Dog Bite • Prevention Week. Let us recJ ognize this as a daily prob• lem, not an annual obser« vance. There is nothing funny J about dogs yapping, snapping 2 and attacking mail carriers. > This sort of thing has been • the subject of jokes and car£ toons for too long. According J to the HSUS and USPS there 2 have been more than 4.7 milI* lion victims bitten each year, L many of them children. Most dog bite incidents can be prevented through > public education and reasonr able pet ownership. Dog trainers, educators, veterinarians and others who work with dogs know that dog bites • are not caused by “bad dogs”, ! but by irresponsible dog ownJ era. Dogs who have not been properly socialized to other > persons, who are not super> vised or-safely confined, who > are not sterilized, or who ; receive little attention and handling are those who often bite humans. Although particular breeds of dogs are often accused of being most likely to bite, other characteristics are better predictors of canine biting behavior. Dogs who have not been spayed or neutered are three times more likely to bite. For this reason, the HSUS suggests that the first step you take to prevent your dog from biting is to have him/her spayed or neutered. Everyone pays for, but everyone can play a part in preventing, the epidemic of painful and costly dog bite injuries: Dog owners can properly train, socialize and confine their dogs. Proper confining does not mean placing a dog on a four-foot chain to a dog house and leaving it there 24 hours a day. Parents and teachers can educate children about safe behavior around dogs. Mail carriers and other service personnel can learn how to avoid being bitten while performing their jobs at homes where dogs live. HSUS has provided the following dog bite prevention tips: • Spay and neuter your dog. • Train and neuter your dog so that it is comfortable around people, including friends, neighbors and children. • Never play “attack” games with dogs. He/she will not always understand the difference between play and real-life situations. • Confine your dog in another room when a letter carrier or other service personnel comes to your home. • Never approach a dog you don’t know which is alone without his owner, especially one that is confined behind a fence, with in a car, or on a chain. • When approached by a dog, don’t run or scream. Stand still with your hands close beside you. Do not make eye contact or speak to the dog. If you are knocked down to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your ears. • Teach children to lie “like a dog” until the dog goes away. It is very important to teach everyone in our communities — especially our children — how to avoid being bitten by dogs. For more information about dog bite prevention education, contact the HSUS, 2100 L Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20037 or telephone (202) 452-1100. Minnie A. Harrison Reva Supervisors were right The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors has been proven right in the fullness of time. If you remember, a few years ago we discussed sewer sludge on our fields. The board of supervisors, after consultations with several experts and numerous public hearings decided we would have no sludge in our county. Some of our citizens even sued the board over their “right” to spread sludge, but the board stood firm. On June 2, in the Washington Post, page Bl, it was noted that Browning Ferris Industries (BFI) pleaded guilty “to violating the federal clean water act by illegally dumping contaminated waste water into the District’s sewage system.” BFI “agreed to pay $1.5 million in penalties as part of a plea agreement in which it admitted three criminal violations” involving medical waste. If I remember, we were assured several years ago at the Rappahannock public hearings that there was only “top quality and safe sludge” from Blue Plains. One of the mayor concerns expressed at that time was what else would we get with our sludge — with no controls, anything could be dumped into D.C.’s sewer system. It turns out our fears were well grounded. I think all of Rappahannock County should award the supervisors with a hearty thank you! And so should every down stream county that drinks the water we send them. Joy Sloane President, RLEP Help needed I am making my annual plea to Amissville area cooks for help with food for box suppers and the food stand at the Amissville Fire and Rescue Company’s carnival. Dates for the event are June 24-27. Needed are potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, uncooked chicken and cakes. Also needed will be pies, cakes or other desserts for the food stand each night. Cash donations will be appreciated and used to purchase boxes, biscuits and utensils. Friends, please call me. Sarah Latham 937-4410 Amissville Our little angel You came JU8t like an angel, all hidden in disguise a child somewhere hidden beneath your big brown eyes. Your face was filled with beauty, your heart was full of trust, For all of us to be your friend, was definitely a must. “Phrm Gal” is what your license plate read, that blue Ford truck would take you wherever you said. You weren’t the kind to show up in heels or fine dress suits, but you were always happy in jeans and cowboy boots. And we were all saddened and shocked by your death, but in our hearts we will forever remember our sweet Marv Beth. In loving memory and honor of Mary Beth Williams By: Renee Goodwin

Board From Page A1 — discussion of personnel issues, student discipline, acquisition or sale of real estate, litigation, and honorary degrees or awards.” He especially recommended that the board hold a roll call vote on anything involving real estate. Board member Ron Makela asked about Megan’s Law and laws pertaining to juvenile court records in the county as outlined in the state General Assembly’s Statutory Update. He wanted to be sure that the school board was receiving any information they should be getting. “My concern is particularly at the high school level when we have a student transfer,” he said. County school superintendent Dr. David Gangel added that information concerning adjudications and convictions of students “are not part of the student’s record. Report Gangel displayed a completed copy of the K-12 curriculum guide book which is being reviewed again this summer by school personnel and the board’s Education Programs subcommittee. Progress is also being made on health, property, and vehicle insurance needs. The requests for proposals for property liability have been advertised. Bids are due back on June 18. Health insurance competitive negotiation bids are due June 30. Gangel recommended that the Virginia School Board Association pool be considered an option for vehicle insurance coverage. The board agreed. In a separate action, the board approved a resolution f authorizing payment of a portion of teachers, teachers’ aides, and some administrative retirees’ health insurance premiums, up to $30 per year. The state will also contribute up to $45 per year. Both programs start Aug. 1 and benefit current and future retirees. The $7,806 needed by the board for the program was approved by the board of supervisors last month. School renovations Gangel presented the capital expenditures report and requested that the $142,000 received from the board of supervisors be reprogrammed into subcategories under Function 6000. Of that, $37,000 would be used for scheduled repairs at RCHS and RCES. The remaining $105,000 would be used to pay for the expansion architect and obtaining the prospective bond for the high school expansion project. The Facilities Subcommittee ratified the selection of low bidder Crenshaw Construction, Inc., of Culpeper, as the contractor on the restroom renovation and shop roof projects. Crenshaw bid $209,500 to complete the work by the summer’s end. Assistant position The board discussed the continuing need for a financial/policy assistant in the superintendent’s office. Said Gangel, “This position didn’t make it through the board of supervisors’ cuts. We’re not in crisis right now, but we soon will be. Policies need to be done by July and we don’t have a budget together to give you.” There is just one person assigned to prepare a $7 million budget, as well as other payroll and financial tasks. Makela suggested the possibility of eliminating an aide position in order to provide funding for the job. He admitted, however, that funding for the aide position would not be enough. Gangel proposed “addressing this with the Supervisors.” LPT results Assistant elementary school principal Richard Smith reported the results of the final literacy passport test. The LIT has been replaced by the state’s new Standards of Learning tests which were administered for the first time this past spring. Of the 78 sixth grade students who took the test, 73 percent passed all three parts, compared to 79 percent the year before, and 83 percent passed the writing portion, 92 percent passed math, and 93 percent passed reading. According to Smith, those students who did not pass all three sections are “still accountable” under the program and must pass the tests in order to graduate. Charter schools Board members Rosa Crocker and Makela outlined the new state requirements for establishing charter schools. “This is coming to us by vote of the state legislature,” Makela noted. The board has the option of accepting applications from individuals or organizations who want to operate a charter school or, alternatively, deciding that the county will not have any charter schools. All costs for the charter schools must be covered by the county school budget. Religious or home schools cannpt be converted to charter schools without formally reestablishing themselves. The board voted to table the issue for 30 days and allow the public to comment at the July 14 meeting. Vocational education Also on the agenda for the July meeting is an insen/ice presentation by Neils Brooks, director of vocational education from the State Department of Education. The board plans to develop and distribute a fact sheet on vocational education programs in the county. Headwaters will hold a vocational tech forum in the fall. Special ed program Helen Williams, director of the special education program, reported that a second bus may soon become available to transport special education and handicapped children on the Madison-Amissville route, replacing the car that is now being used. The Child Care and Learning Center near Washington plans to purchase a bus for its Headstart program and has offered cooperative use of the bus in exchange for use of the county’s bus maintenance facilities. ‘That will give one bus for each side of the county for both Headstart and *the county school programs,” Williams explained. The board unanimously supported the proposal. New business In other new business before the board, chairman Df. John Tole appointed Crocker and Makela to the community advisory committee for the high school expansion project. The board also voted to authorize elementary school principal Raye Tupper to prepare a $78,000 Title I grant application to obtain federal funding. r -;Your Air Conditioning Headquarters DesignerStyle 5,000 - 6,000 BTU Whirlpool Air Conditioner features include: • Removable Woven Filter • QUIET MISER " Design • Energy Saver Control • Adjustable Thermostat • COMFORT GUARD" Control •Three-Speed Fan • Exhaust Control • Fan Only Setting • Low-Profile Design • Two-Way Air Direction Control • INSTA-MOUNT" Installation System • FINGER SAVER " Handle Other Models In Stock RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, Virginia 540-987-8555^ GREAT GIFTS FOR DAD REMEMBER FATHER'S DAY IS SUNDAY, JUNE 21 VanHeusen 1 7.99- 1 9.99 ENTIRE STOCK VAN HEUSEN* SHORT SLEEVE DRESS SHIRTS.

Many band members managed to conceal their discomfort wearing the wool band uniforms while suffering from sunburn after spending the previous day at Coco Beach. Chaperone Diana Corbin said she didn’t hear one student complain, although many were quite red. The 15-week festival included 260 bands, jazz ensembles and choirs from around the country. Cecile Scott, band director, chose the New South Wales March by John Edmondson and Stonehenge by Elliot Del Borgo as selections for the band to play at the competition.

Overall the band received an 82.7 rating, which is excellent on a scale of superior, excellent, good and honorable mention. Only Red Oak High School with close to 200 members surpassed them with a higher score of 91.7. The RCHS band was awarded a first place trophy in the novice division. Scott said she thought the competition would be a learning experience, and so it was “doubly nice to win.” When she took the job as band director last year, Scott said she “would take it slow and be successful.” The trip was arranged with Super Holiday Tours in Orlando, Fla. The band visited Planet Hollywood for a breakfast buffet and the Medieval Times, a dinner theatre, where they watched a jousting tournament. A day at Coco Beach included a catered barbecue. A few children had never been out of Virginia before going to Florida and about a half dozen had never seen the ocean, said Scott. The students had several days to visit Disneyworld, which was not crowded, and the weather was pleasantly warm, Corbin said. She added that the students’ behavior and manners were commendable. Chaperones accompanying the band were Corbin, Molly Welch, David and Gracie Gillis, Helen Williams and Scott. Scott thanked Jack Raines, principal of the Rappahannock County High School, for his help in putting together the trip prospectus to present to the school board. She expressed her appreciation to Dr. David Gangel, superintendent of Rappahannock County Schools, for his support for the band program and for allotting $2,000 for the band, besides the $5,800 allowed in the budget. Previously, the Band Boosters had paid for everything, said Scott. The Band Boosters helped to pay for new uniforms and instruments including a $3,200 tuba (with the school’s help), bari saxophone, euphonium, French horn and other brass instruments. In the past two years the Band Boosters have raised $25,000. Thirty-seven of the 46 students in the band in grades eight to 12 went on the trip from May 27 to June 1. Each student raised $225 to pay his or her own way. Band Booster sales of $14,000 in citrus fruit financed the trip. The Lions’ Club donated $1,000 for the trip and Faith Mountain donated $750 last spring for the band to purchase new instruments. Scott recognized a few students for outstanding performance since they only recently began playing their instruments. They are Josh McArthur on the bells, Matthew Ralston on tuba, Jenny Starr on the French horn and Lucy Burnham, Australian exchange student, on tenor sax who was new to the band. Plans for next year include a spring competition at Pops in the Park to be held in Hershey Park, Pa. Council From Page A1 Wastewater Committee, read a statement into the record, saying, in part, “The meager or inadequate drainfields of roughly one-third of our neighbors are, or are becoming, saturated and they do not possess the actual acreage needed to put iri another one...The Needs Assessment shows there is cause for concern...” Consultants Dave Taylor and John Hutchinson of Resource International, the company hired to evaluate and recommend appropriate solutions to the town’s wastewater problems, reported their findings. The company used data provided by the town to construct average daily water usage of 30,000 gallons from an estimated 120 connections. The final recommendation was a combination gravity-and-pressure collection system, recirculation sand filters, and a six-acre drainfield. Estimated cost of the project, including surveying and engineering, exceeds $1.48 million. Costs to purchase property were not included. On July 10, at 7:30 p.m., the Wastewater Committee will hold a special meeting about the issue. Members of the public are invited. Old Business Mayor Stew Willis and property owner Col. Nels Parsons have agreed to terms for installing a second gravity feed tank for the water system. Tompkins reported that the Fourth of July committee still needs volunteers. He also requested that town businesses provide him with email addresses and webpage links for the town’s webpage. Council member Ray Gooch received three different designs from Jay Monroe for the new Visitor’s Center. They will be reviewed at the council’s June 24 meeting. Public Hearing Gene Leggett, representing Washington Fire Company requested the council reconsider its proposed $6,500 cut from the fire department budget. Critzer, council member Peter Skowronski, and members of the public supported reinstatement of the money. Members of the council and the public appeared sharply divided on whether of not money should be takefi from ongoing projects and put against potential wastewater system needs. Town attorney Frank Reynolds read a statement from the mayor into the record. Wrote Willis, “I do not believe... we should make broad and arbitrary cuts in everything we do...The items we budgeted in the past had purpose...I do believe that the proposed budget requires...further thought.” The council plans to vote on the budget at the June 24 meeting.

Burger business is booming in Sperryvilie By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer The first hour that Burgers “N” Things opened on April 16 next to the Exxon station on Lee Highway, the owners realized their new business was a success. Since the Tastee Freeze in Sperryville closed years ago, there hasn’t been a restaurant in the county devoted to that convenient fast food that is worldwide a symbol of American culture. Notably, the business is owned and operated by two generations of the Butler family; Steve and Becky Butler are equal partners in the business with their daughter Stefanie and her husband, Ricky Shaw. The business’ success is undoubtedly tied to months of hard work they put in before they opened and to the long hours required to staff it. The menu offers many choices at a reasonable price. The basic hamburger sells for 89 cents, the specialty cheeseburger at 99 cents and the Grande burger, with a quarter pound of all-beef patty, is only $2.39. A selection of subs are the most expensive items on the menu from $3.25 to $4.95. Sandwiches of ham, turkey breast, roast beef, tuna, BLT and tuna are delicious options. Of course, French-fries and hot dogs are also available, as well as a variety of breakfast sandwiches, including bagels, all day. Steve Butler remodeled the building that was formerly an apple stand. He gutted the inside, moved interior walls, installed a bathroom that is accessible to the handicapped, rewired the building, laid a tile floor and added all the appliances. He painted the interior white and added cherry red countertops. The exterior is painted a light gray with glossy red trim. A row of vanity lights under the eaves and spotlights on the roof help light the building making it easy to spot at night. Plans for the future include adding a soft-serve ice cream machine. Since space is limited at the moment, they plan to expand next winter by building an extension on one end. The service is strictly take-out because the requirements for a sit-down restaurant are far more demanding. The Butlers are not new to the restaurant business. They ran the Boston Store with a deli Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Carl Ebom PHONE IN: Becky Butler takes an order over the phone. from 1985 to 1989. It was a lot of work with little return, Butler said. Fortunately, things are considerably more profitable in Sperryville. Success hasn’t been acheived without a lot of hard work. The hardest part Of the business is putting in the long hours, he said. Between the renovations and the work required to run the hamburger ----s-M—-■ WAITING FOR BURGERS: From left, Stacey Payne, Crystal Leake and Courtney Mauro pick up their orders at Burgers “N” Things in Sperryville. stand, the Butlers together have lost a total weight of almost 40 pounds. Butler grew up in Culpeper County near the Rappahannock County line, and at 17 he left to join the Air Force. Later he joined the Secret Service to work with the White House Police, and he retired in 1985. For five years he worked as a building contractor, then at a security-related job in Middleburg and last winter he began renovating the apple stand. Recently, his wife, Becky, quit her federal government job at Fort Belvoir to join the family business. Besides Stefanie, the Butlers have two sons, Doug, who is a fireman in Fairfax, and Greg, who is a deputy sheriff in Culpeper County. Stefanie, 31, grew up in Fauquier County, and in 1981 her parents bought a 53-acre farm in Boston. She graduated from Culpeper County High School, and although she attended George Mason University for a short time, she was not interested in college. She married Ricky Shaw from Washington in October 1992, and one month later they bought the Exxon station in Sperryville with his parents, James and Jean Shaw. Ricky works as a mechanic at the service station and Stefanie worked there for several years as a cashier until her daughter, Jessica, was bom in 1994. She also has a 14-monthold daughter, Miranda. Throughout the day the children are watched over by both maternal and paternal grandparents and their mother. Jessica plays deli the way most little girls play with dolls. Her mother says she begs to hand customers their bags of food and she joked Jessica will learn how to work the cash register in several years. The Butlers enjoy being in Sperryville and appreciate the friendly and helpfrd way the community has treated them. “They have gone out of their way to make it easier,” Steve said. And the Butlers, in turn, have gone out of their way to accommodate their customers on lunch break by encouraging them to call ahead to 987-8311 with their orders. They are open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Literary anthology out Rappahannock County High School, The Many Faces of Poetry Project, and Headwaters Rappahannock Public Education Foundation are proud to announce this year’s publication Of The Corinthian. The Corinthian is the literary anthology of RCHS. The Many Faces of Poetry Project, an effort sponsored by Headwaters to stimulate awareness of, enthusiasm for and interaction with poets and poetry at the high school and in the community, culminated the year-long project in the printing of this publication that showcases the poetry and art work of students. The poetry of more than 25 students is represented in The Corinthian. Seventeen students have their art work displayed in the publication. The staff of The Corinthian at RCHS is: Andrew Van Horn, editor; Claire Schadler, assistant editor; Mark Williams, art editor; and Dean Payne, Jessica Lawyer, Emily Crabtree, Ceci Falk, Ryan Ralston, and Melissa Zim. Laurel Van Horn serves as faculty sponsor. Sharon Wyrrick, who has been the director of The Many Faces of Poetry Project, says of The Corinthian, “We have seen great interest in and enthusiasm for poetry from the students all year long in the creation of poetry and poetryinspired art work, as well as in the attendance of poetry readings. It is wonderfully gratifying for the project to conclude by supporting this publication. I think that everyone, the students and the community, can celebrate the fine work and creativity represented here.” Each student received a complimentary copy of The Corinthian as a part of project. The printing costs were funded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional copies of The Corinthian are available for purchase for $5. All proceeds from the sales will support printing costs for next year’s publication. Copies are available from the ROHS office, Talk of the Tbwn, and from Headwaters office and will be offered for sale at the Headwaters’ booth during July 4 celebration.

When my youngsters were eighteen, they told me how little I knew and that I understood even less. Yet, when they were twenty-three, they began to admire my wisdom and marvel at how smart I had become. It was amazing that I could have improved so in those live years.” How often fathers of grown children share this experience. Yes, it is dear in most cases that the father did not change at aH. It was the son or daughter who learned during those five years that, in hindsight Father knew best So it is with our Father in heaven. Many of us attended worship and Bible classes as children. Perhaps in our late teens, some of us unfortunately veered away. This Father’s Day, as we honor our earthly fathers, may we rededkate our lives to our Heavenly Father as we worship Him; remembering that He is wise even when we are not God will smile upon you.

Funeral services were held ^Wozcli by Randy Minter —— I IM A FATED LIFE There are those who attempt to absolve themselves of the responsibility lor living by reasoning that late, not they themselves, has the upper hand in determining their actions. This suggests that we are no more than tumbling grains of sand in the tumultuous surl that the ocean deposits on the shore Could it he that we have more personal power than that'.’ As Maurice Maeterlinck suggested: "Let us always remember that nothing befalls us that is not of the nature of ourselves ...And w hether you climb up the mountain or go down the hill to the valley, whether you journey to the end of the world or merely walk round your house, none but yourself shall you meet on the highway of fate." When faced with a high stress situation, we often fall into two roles, the over-performer, w hich can leave us exhausted, and the victim, which can make us feel helpless. Nevertheless, such feelings are common for us all when faced with loss. We re here to make your transitions move more smoothly so your own wcll-beina can be maintained. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we urge you to come take a tour of our facilities. We work hard to create a welcoming environment tn which to receive your friends and loved ones. We are here 24 hours a day at 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue. Warrenton). We offer plots in Bright View Cemetery just outside Warrenton. and memorials and monuments for all cemeteries. "There 's much to be said for challenging fate instead of ducking behind it." -Diana Trilling at First Baptist Church in Washington on Saturday, June 13 with the Rev. Wendell Grant of Marshall officiating. Interment was in the Bailey Family Cemetery, Poles Road, Amissville. Military honors will be provided by Culpeper American Legion Post #330. W.C. Thompson Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. Paul Taylor Retired, auditor Paul McDaniel Taylor, 73, of Sperryville died Monday, June 8 at his residence. He was born June 6, 1925 in North Carolina to Cora Wilkinson Taylor of Washington, N.C. and the late George Taylor. Mr. Taylor was a member of the John Blair Masonic Temple #187 and was also a member of the Kena Temple Shriners.

He was an auditor with the State Revenue Department of North Carolina and retired as the auditor for the Secretary of Defense after 30 years of service. Besides his mother, Mr. Taylor is survived by his wife of 45 years, Linda Lewis Taylor. He is also survived by one brother Lon W. Taylor of Washington, N.C. and one sister Cora W. Fitzgerald of Clarkesville. Mr. Taylor was preceded in death by a half brother George Taylor of Virginia Beach. Memorial services of Mr. Taylor will be announced at a later date.
