Rappahannock News, September 15, 1977

28th Year, No. 43 8 Pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1977 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 J5C CaucusCharges Deplorable Conditions By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County’s school system was singled out as an example of “deplorable” minority hiring practices last Friday at a meeting of the Seventh District Black Caucus in Culpeper. Prior to presentations from Attorney General candidates Marshall Coleman and Edward Lane, Caucus representatives reported on minority employment situations in school systems throughout the Seventh District. Blacks in the Seventh District are “unemployed and underemployed,” said Caucus chairman H. M. Brooks. He said that his organization is working to alleviate these conditions, starting with the school systems. After a week of meetings between Caucus representatives and school administrators, Brooks maintained it was evident that educational hiring systems need to be reevaluated. Statistics on minority hiring practices in Rap* pahannock fall far behind those of other jurisdictions, based on data presented at the meeting. According to information supplied by John Summers, the county has five black teachers in the grade school, all of whom were in the system in 1963. Since that date, said Summers, only one black teacher has been hired—an instructor for the high school employed in 1977. Summers said that out of 17 new teachers hired prior to the start of the 1977-78 school year, only one was black. He noted that the county has no blacks in administrative positions and none on the School Board.

BZA Approves Sign Variance By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals sped through a short agenda at last Thursday’s meeting and then retired into executive session with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. Notably missing from the open portion of the meeting was any reference to the two pending court cases brought against the BZA in a controversy involved with the issuance, suspension and revocation of a special use permit in Sperryville. Elmer Jenkins’s request for a permit to erect a sign at his business in Amissville was first on the agenda. Zoning Administrator Evan McNear recommended that the matter be postponed until next month’s BZA meeting, citing questions regarding state statutes on signs. BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner interjected that the Board also had questions regarding Federal statutes. In the meantime, continued McNear, a temporary permit could be issued to Jenkins. The Board unanimously approved the action. The BZA was not quite as fast in reaching a decision on Christopher Gersten’s application for a variance to extend and enlarge a nonconforming structure. Gersten's plans to put an addition onto his house off the F. T. Valley road near Sperryville required BZA concurrence because the extension would exceed setback requirements by three feet. McNear noted that the property was located on an old one lane countymaintained dirt road. He said that he wasn’t sure how large the right-of-way was, adding that he knew it didn’t total 50 feet. BZA member Hal Forward maintained that the Board needed to know the legal right-of-way owned by the county before reaching a decision. “Probably the county doesn’t know,” commented Admiral Gardiner. “Then how can we know?" asked Forward. “I personally don’t see anything objectionable (in approving Gersten’s proposal). The only thing I object to is we don’t know what we’re doing.” E. P. Luke, who lives near Gersten, told the BZA members that the cabin was over 100 years old and had existed before the Highway Department put in the road. The road could have been put anywhere, he continued, and if Highway personnel had felt the house was too close, then the road would have been moved over further. Luke said he’d heard no objections to Gersten’s plans from anyone in the neighborhood and added that the work, would improve the property. "Why does this have to come before the Board?” asked Forward. “Is it necessary to get the Board's permit?” “We thought it was or we wouldn’t have brought it before the Board,” McNear responded. Admiral Gardiner asked Commonwealth Attorney, George Davis, who was in the audience, for his legal opinion. If a building permit application is made to the Zoning Administrator and denied, Davis replied, then the property owner has the right to appeal to the BZA. The question on what was shown in McNear’s records as to action on the application was not answered directly. “Evidently he (McNear) denied it because he passed it on to us," Gardiner commented. McNear indicated that he denied the application because it didn’t meet setback requirements. If Gersten applied for and was denied a building permit, said Davis, then the matter would be legally before the BZA. (Continued on Page 4) $32,000 “Ball Park Figure ” Costs Of Upgrading Lagoon Presented The Rappahannock School Board received some preliminary cost estimates on alternatives for upgrading the elementary school’s sewage treatment lagoon to meet new standards at Tuesday’s meeting. It’s going to be expensive. A diffused aeration system recommended by Gilbert W. Clifford and Associates, the engineering firm that submitted a proposal for preparing the final plans and specifications on the project, carries a price tag of at least $32,000 and possibly $39,000. Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer emphasized that estimates for the seven alternatives presented were “ball park figures.’’ He noted that the final cost on any of the systems could run as much as $5,000 over or under the estimate. The stream from the sewage treatment lagoon crosses the property of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Summers. Both were at Tuesday’s Board meeting. Bloomer told the Summers that he did not anticipate discharging any effluent from the sewage treatment plant until “sometime this fall.” When the plant is in operation, he said, the State Water Control Board requires the school to submit a monthly report that includes suspended solids and biological oxygen demand (BOD) levels. In addition, Bloomer noted that the '—Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sarah Latham FORMER SENATOR EUGENE McCARTHY has purchased property in Rappahannock County, joining many other notable residents. He purchased The Cave Lot near Woodville from Cdr. and Mrs. I. O. Wolf who will be in Florida. Cdr. and Mrs. Wolf and Mr. McCarthy made settlement Friday at the Clerk’s office in Washington. The sale was handled by Kerry Smithgall of Eileen Day, Realtor, through the cooperation of W. H. Lyne. k discharge is periodically monitored by SWCB personnel. Once an alternative for upgrading the lagoon is selected, the School Board must get SWCB approval before construction starts, according to the Superintendent. Problems with the sewage treatment lagoon began last winter. A deep freeze and subsequent turn over in the lagoon raised BOD and suspended solids levels above the maximum allowed by the SWCB. The system was shut down and discharge into the stream stopped. When new lower SWCB regulations on BOD and solids levels went into effect in June, the elementary school lagoon system dropped even further below standards and the school’s discharge permit expired. The SWCB will issue a new temporary permit and allow the system to discharge effluent that meets special interim standards and the Board would be liable for legal action if the new standards weren’t complied with. The seven alternatives presented by Clifford and Associates included: —Future tie-in to the proposed Sperryville sewage treatment plant—would Restauranteur Charged In Shooting Evelyn C. Williams, who operates Lombardy Restaurant in Amissville, has been charged with felonious and malicious wounding on September 3, of Richmond Bowie of District Heights, Md. Bowie was shot in the ankle following a confrontation at the restaurant, according to Trooper R. A. Baines, who investigated the shooting. Mrs. Williams has been released on bond and is scheduled to be heard Oct. 21 in Rappahannock General District Court. 1 require pumping station and three miles of four-inch force main, estimated cost $111,000. (Government funding could possibly be obtained for 75 per cent of the cost.) —Replace lagoon with package secondary plant Nuclear Gauge Stolen A potentially dangerous nuclear gauge was stolen from the highway construction site east of Amissville during the weekend. It was discovered missing when work resumed Monday morning on the dual laning of Route 211. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, the device is a gauge for testing the moisture density of a roadbed, and is potentially dangerous if handled by someone other than an expert. Baines and Deputy R. D. Hawkins responded Monday to investigate the theft. The gauge was taken from the Highway Department’s inspectors’ trailer at the job site on Route 639. Entry to the building was gained by breaking a window in the door of the structure. Trooper Baines said he was sure that whoever took the device did not realize what it was and how useless it would be. The 15 x 10 x 8 inch gauge with a 12 inch handle was kept In a yellow box which was not taken. The nuclear probe which is in* serted into the road surface to be tested contains radioactive material and could be dangerous if bumped, banged or exposed. Harm could result to anyone exposed to the radioactivity for any length of time. The device can test the compactness of soil in 60 seconds as compared to an hour needed for the old method used. —estimated cost $35,000. Report notes that separate flow from the school may create problems with hydraulic shocks that are dampened by long detention times in the lagoon. —Follow lagoon with intermittent sand Filters —estimated cost $34,000. Report notes that there would be difficulties with fitting facilities into available land. Operation and maintenance costs of this option would also be considerable. Cost figures on three other alternatives—surface aeration, chemical coagulation by use of reactor clarifiers and installation of a rock filter at the tail end of the lagoon—were not included in the report since the engineering firm felt that none of these options was viable. The recommended alternative, a diffused aeration system, would require increasing the normal water level in the lagoon to a six foot depth and installing a diffuser pipe on the bottom. Blowers would force air from the pipe through the lagoon to speed up the breakdown of the sewage. The $32,000 total cost estimate includes $14,000 for diffused aeration equipment, $16,000 for installation, including construction of blower house and $2,000 for electrical work and miscellaneous piping and fittings. The report goes on to say that “health department may require final clarification and-or post aeration. If this becomes necessary, an additional $5,000 for clarifier and $2,000 for post aeration is necessary.” A covering letter signed by project engineer John Garland states that the firm’s fee for services rendered will be $3,000 but adds that this figure “does not include additional work that would result from additional regulatory requirements.” ‘.‘I certainly feel this would have to be digested before we make a decision on it,” said Board Chairman Beverly Massie, after receiving the (Continued on Page 2) 4-H Center Fund Drive Kickoff Dinner Set More than 300 civic leaders, public officials and media executives from 18 northern Virginia counties and the cities of Alexandria and Fredericksburg will meet Sept. 15 in Front Royal to launch a $6 million fund drive to build a 4-H educational center five miles south of the town. Samuel Jones, Jr., executive vice president of The Commercial and Savings Bank of Winchester, who also serves as president of the nonprofit Center organization, will be master of ceremonies for the kick-off dinner. Speakers will include Thomas T. Byrd, general manager of the Winchester Evening Star; Dr. William Van Dresser, dean. Extension Division, Virginia —— Polytechnic Institute and State University; and Dr. Kenneth Dawson, state director of 4-H, Extension Division, VPI & SU. Ground breaking for the center will start in about 60 days, according to Jones, the center’s president. The center will be built on 229 acres of land which were a part of the U.S. Beef Cattle Research Station, adjacent to Shenandoah National Park. Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson of the Seventh District was instrumental in obtaining the acreage from the General Services Administration.

Lagoon Upgrading (Continued from Page 1) report. She suggested that the Board take the information under advisement and act on it at the October meeting. Board member Alan Stokes said he didn’t think the Board should commit itself to a decision that soon and Mrs. Massie substituted “react” for "act” in her suggestion. Stokes added that the Board should obtain opinions and alternatives from a second engineering firm before proceeding. Board member Walter Masterson suggested that County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner also be informed. The Board voted unanimously to contact additional firms for alternative proposals on upgrading the lagoon. “We’d like to be kept current with everything that transpires,” said Mrs. Summers. “It looks like it will be some time before you people know what you want.” It isn’t a matter of what the School Board wants, commented Mrs. Massie, but rather of meeting SWCB rules and regulations. She added that there was some haziness and dispute among different agencies as to what the actual requirements are. Mr. Summers asked if the School Board would be able to obtain outside help in funding the work. On the package secondary plant alternative there is a chance of obtaining 75 per cent funding from the Environmental Protection Agency, Bloomer responded. First priority on funds, he added, is given to municipal sewer systems. “For us to wait, depending on this, may be fallacious thinking,” he maintained. Masterson asked ifthere was a possibility that the lagoon would straighten itself out and produce effluent that would meet the new requirements without having improvements made. “I doubt it,” Bloomer answered, describing chances of this occurring as “very, very slim.” He noted that the lagoon, even when it operated properly, did not meet the new requirements on levels of suspended solids and BOD. The new requirements are “lower than this system was designed for in the first place,” commented Mr. Summers. liappalrannnck Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $5.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $6.50 Outside the U.S. per year $5.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ! |New i IRetmwl lOeck Enclosed NAME _ ADDRESS _ CITY _STATE_ZIP_ Entered as second-class mail at the Post Office in Washington.

RWn St - \ Marion Agnew, President of the Center for Environmental Strategies, advised the audience at the meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection last Friday to take another look at a possible solution to Sperryville’s sewage problem. Acknowledging that it means a little backtracking, she suggested that the community reconsider a land disposal, spray irrigation system. Agnew, Stanley Azriel, Leo Horvath and Elizabeth against because of costs involved in pumping and purchase of land and because of potential difficulties with the underground flow bf effluent on rock beds and into the Thornton River. Luke said that a land dispersal system won’t work from an engineering and public health standpoint in treatment of 60,000 gallons per day of effluent. Problems Witt Flood Plain “There are some problems that could come up with this RLEP’S PANEL of experts, left ro right, Marion Agnew, Leo Horvath, Stanley Azriel and Elizabeth «■ Horvath addressed the issues of sewage disposal and solid waste management Friday at the quarterly meeting of the environmental group. Horvath—all recognized experts in their fields—were invited by RLEP to give presentations and answer questions on solid waste management and sewage disposal. “What is your problem out here (with sewage disposal)?” asked Leo Horvath. He added that he’d obtained sketchy information from the State Water Control Board in preparation for the RLEP meeting and had been told of difficulties in Sperryville with failing septic systems and untreated wastes being discharged into the Thornton River. If failing septic fields are the major problem, Horvath continued, the community should consider a composting device that uses a dry system for the treatment of human wastes or land treatment with lagoons and some chlorination followed by spray irrigation as feasible alternatives. To answer Horvarth, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke gave the panel a brief history of Sperryville’s proposed treatment plant, from the 1966 study on a countywide sewer system through the town’s current designation as number one on the state’s priority list of health hazards. As a result of this high priority, said Luke, Sperryville has received federal and state funding for most of the costs of the “no growth”, lagoon treatment plant. He noted that a land dispersal system using spray irrigation had been considered and then decided r thing (the lagoon system) that have just come up in the last several days/’ the Supervisor Chairman continued. “This is all in a flood plain so the structure has got to be a flood proof structure to meet all the state standards.’’ Besides the Sperryville health hazard, Luke said he personally envisioned sewage problems in the town of Washington at some future date. He noted that the Town Council had stated that there is no sewer system planned for the town but at the same time, said Luke, some of the septic fields “bubble up on the top of the ground in wet weather.” The situation is complicated, he continued, by an old water system with leaks and infiltration of ground water—infiltration that could be contaminated by the malfunctioning septic fields. Expansion Capability County engineer Fanning Baumgardner interjected that the proposed plant has a capability for expansion above 30,000 capacity, even though such expansion is not planned, and could handle 50,000 gallons with enlarged lagoons and increased chlorine treatment. Agnew asked if there were any evapo-transpiration beds being used for sewage disposal in Rappahannock. She explained that this system sprays aerated effluent on a raised bed and works well in areas where the earth is non-porous. This type of treatment, she said, is being used in Fairfax County to replace falling septic systems. She added that evapo-transpiration beds avoid the cost of expensive piping, a major cost factor in conventional treatment systems. “I think it would pay you to look carefully at spray irrigation,” she said, particularly if the land proposed for spraying is being used to raise crops. The aerated, partially treated effluent that is sprayed as the final step in treatment provides both moisture and organic fertilizer to crops, according to Agnew. Higher Yield The fields of a Michigan town where a land dispersal system is used yield well over 100 bushels of corn to the acre, she continued, a figure much higher than the 60 bushel per acre yield before spray irrigation. Com is a high nitrogen crop, said Agnew, and sewage is loaded with nitrogen. “You should consider .sewage as a resource because it really is.” On the other hand, Agnew noted that the high nitrogen content in sewage effluent from the proposed lagoon facility would turn the Thornton River green with algae growth if the dillution factor wasn’t high enough during low flow periods. Free Fertilizer She again emphasized the benefits to be derived from land dispersal and spray irrigation as a source of free fertilizer and water. “Who’s to say how much longer Virginia will continue to be a water rich area?” Agnew asked. She noted that the county wouldn’t have to buy the fields for spraying freon a farmer but could instead lease them, with threefourths of the payment reimbursed by the federal government. Rental costs bom by the county would be offset, she said, by savings in other areas, notably in the cost of electricity to run the aerator for the oxidation lagoon. “Think this problem through before you commit your money,” Agnew advised. “In the meantime, don’t take no from the Water Control Board or the State Health Department because I don’t trust either one of them... “A community has a right to defend itself,” she continued. “I can tell you that it’s coming. There’s a wall of people over there in Washington and they all want out and if you think you’re not going to get it, you’re wrong—so protect what you’ve got.” A member of the audience noted that the people in Sperryville are “under orders to clean up. We can talk about spray irrigation of com but if the state won’t accept it...” Elizabeth Horvath responded that she understood that a land dispersal •CIRCUS EIRE r UNDER THE BIG TIP BIO BRASS BAND .

' ' These costs can be offset by leasing the land with federal government paying 75 percent “and the farmer gets a regular income and a regular valuable source of water plus free fertilizer...Look at the whole package," she advised. Marion Agnew noted that the sewage efluent from the proposed treatment lagoon would still be discharged into the Thornton River where children bathe and people fish. "The kind of treatment that you might be getting from an oxydation pond might not be what you want,” she warned. Solid Waste Before the discussion on sewage treatment, Stan Ariel addressed solid waste problems. While resource recovery is the wave of the fiiture, Aziel said that the mechanized junk business is still not economically viable unless the cost of doing something else with the trash is considered. He advised communities to consider what can be salvaged from trash in order to cut down on the volume going into a landfill. Aziel noted that the recent hard winter and the forecast for this year plus government action on home insulation and fuel conservation had increased the demand for the newspapers that account for a large portion of landfill trash. Newspaper now brings $20 to $25 per ton, in part due to the demand for the material for use as insulation manufactured by plants in Charlottesville, Woodstock, Richmond and other locations. The Increased demand for newspaper doesn’t mean that recycling the material will produce a net cash flow if people have to be hired to do the work, according to Aziel. Any successful newspaper recycling program must start with homeowner: effort to keep the paper Separated from the rest of household trash. - Aziel said that other items, including aluminum, steel and bi-metal cans and glass, are marginal at best in terms of cash flow. He noted that recycling of light gauge metallic items, such as refrigerators, stoves and hot water tanks, also didn’t pay for itself but was improtant in terms of space saved in the , landfill. “The enthusiasm is here (for recycling)’’, Aziel said. “This suggests to me that it would be an easy matter to establish (a recycling program) and keep it going.” Thieves Strike Again Thieves struck again at Rappahannock Clinic last Tuesday and a variety of medications were taken. Rntry to the building in Washington was gained by breaking a side window. On first inspection by clinic personnel nothing was found missing. However, later they realized differently. Rappahannock’s Sheriff Department is investigating the theft and have several leads on the case. After breaking ahd entering the clinic and obtaining the drugs, the vandal or vandals hid them in a sack under the bridge east of town. They were discovered there by a fisherman seeking minnows, and turned over to the Sheriff. Several other thefts have been reported, also. Four juveniles, two females from Front Royal and two males from Vienna have been apprehended in Ohio after stealing a VW in Rappahannock. According to Deputy R. D. Hawkins, a 1959 Volkswagen owned by Linda Heimstra on Fodder$tack Road near Washington was taken. The juveniles were apprehended in Mentor, Ohio by city police. In another incident camping equipment was taken from a home in the Washington area. The goods belonging to Joan Harlin of Brentwood, Md. was valued at $50. "We do have some evidence and it is being followed up,” said Deputy Hawkins. Auto tires and rims were reported taken from a pickup at the James Floyd Lilly property in Chester Gap and value was set at about $50. A rifle and chain saw were taken from the property of William Petty in Amissville about September 9. The Pettys reside in Annandale and Amissville. A ten-speed bike belonging to a member of the Roy Lee Knighting family at Castleton was reported missing September 9 also and is being investigated. Tapes and records were taken from the home of Verginius Weaver at Slate Mills and a reported breaking and entering at the Williams residence near Boston turned out to be a false alarm. Deputy R. H. Jenkins is investigating the theft of camping equipment from a cabin near Flint Hill owned by John Eckland, and is also working on a property damage hit and run near More Drought Aid Offered Raymond P. Kuttenkuler, District Director of the Small Business Administration Richmond District Office, today announced that farmers in Rappahannock County are eligible to apply for Physical Injury Disaster Loans if they sustained crop losses as a result of a severe drought during the 1976 and 1977 crop years.

Drought-Hit Faimers Get Financial Aid Producers who have finished harvesting hay or corn are encouraged to make an application under the Emergency Feed Program. The Emergency Feed Program will provide financial assistance for livestock feed to those producers who have eligible livestock and have suffered a feed loss due to the drought. Disabled Eligible For Aid rersons disabled since childhood may be eligible for supplemental security income payments (SSI) when they reach 18 regardless of their family’s income, according to Bruce Hundley, social security branch manager in Culpeper, The SSI program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources and who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. “Eligible disabled people I can get payments at any age,” he said. “The eligibility of children under 18 can be affected by their parents’ income and resources, but disabled people who remain unmarried are considered independent of their families starting at 18, or at 21 if they’re in school. People can get information about applying for SSI payments at the Culpeper social security office, 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, at 703-825-3500. Tom Eddins, County Executive Director in Rappahannock County, said, ‘‘Since the program was approved for Rappahannock County in July we have been unable to determine a farmer’s loss in many cases. This was due to the fact that most farmers at that time still had corn or hay in the fields. Now that much of the corn and hay has been harvested we hope that we will be in a better position to determine a farmer’s loss.” Producers who do not have sufficient feed to fast until December 1 are encouraged to make an application so that the feed needs for a producer’s livestock can be determined.

Your son has just been arrested for reckless driving. Your dog bit the mailman. You’re being sued for divorce. You need a lawyer fast. But if you are like most people in Rappahannock, the chances are you do not know where to tind a competent lawyer who charges what you believe are reasonable rates. A recent survey by the American Bar Association underscored the magnitude of the problem. Only about one-third of those surveyed had ever consulted a lawyer, and only about a quarter had actually retained a lawyer. Many people appear to avoid lawyers because they think legal fees are too high. Over 60 per cent of the respondents agreed with the statement that “most lawyers charge more for their services than they are worth.” It should be remembered that most lawyers in Virginia have had at least seven years of special schooling, and sometimes have spent additional time in apprenticeship. Action by such experienced counsel can be more economical and productive than choosing someone who staggers to the solution to a legal problem with wasted time and dangerous untutored approach. Ordinarily a lawyer’s practice requires the maintenance of an experienced secretary, and the detailed costs of maintaining an office and law library. In the future, advertising may possibly become an additional expense. You may now be hearing much more about lawyers and their services. For the Supreme Court has lifted restrictions on advertising legal fees and services, deciding recently that state laws and bar association rules against advertising by lawyers violated the First Amendment right to free speech. There is a lot of disagreement among the lawyers themselves as to how legal costs will be affected by advertising. Some contend that the added expense of advertising will be shifted to clients, thus diluting whatever consumer savings might result from the increased competition. There is also a widespread reticence among lawyers to use the media for building up the responsibilities of the profession. It may be a long time before any real competitive advertising can develop. All of which is not much help to anyone here who unexpectedly needs an attorney. But this community is gifted with effective and responsible lawyers. If the occasion arises, we know of no better advice than to ask a friend for references, specifically a lawyer experienced in handling the type of problem you have. All attorneys in this complex age are not experienced in all areas of the law. You wouldn’t ask your obstetrician to do your heart surgery. He should refer you to a specialist. Able and responsible attorneys will refer you, or themselves consult with, those more experienced with legal complexities. Rappahannock is fortunate to have highly rated, capable and broadly experienced legal professionals. When you sense serious trouble you should consult one of them quickly. Black Caucus Charges Deplorable Conditions (Continued from Page 1) Over the last 16 years, according to Summers, only one black graduate from Rappahannock County High School has gone on to earn a bachelor’s degree. When the position of elementary principal became vacant in August, Summers continued, a black applied but his application was not accepted. He added that a position on the School Board that became vacant was eliminated after a black applied He also noted that the Rappahannock County School Board had refused to adopt any affirmative action hiring guidelines aimed at raising the percentage of black educators to match the percentage of black student enrollment after the Board had met three times with Caucus representatives. Guidance Needs Caucus Vice-Chairman Sherman White maintained that the guidance programs of schools in the District needed improvement—even in those localities where minority employment goals had been reached. The Caucus, he said, was seeking help from the State Legislature for funding to establish a pilot program in the Seventh District aimed at strengthening guidance systems. The program, White continued, would attempt to identify student aptitudes by the seventh grade so the student could be directed towards a proper course of study. Too many students discovered in eleventh or twelfth grade that they lacked the necessary preparation for acceptance in either college, trade school or business, he said. Acknowledging that poor housing and a limited social atmosphere hindered recruitment of young teachers in many of the District’s jurisdictions, White BZA Approves (Continued from Page 1) Chairman Gardiner, after acknowledging that none of the BZA members knew where the right-of-way lay, asked if anyone in the room had objections to granting the variance to the setback requirement. No one spoke out and the Board voted to approve the variance. “I’m for approval but against the basis under which we’re operating,” commented Forward. Luke suggested that maps be obtained from the State Highway Department showing right-of-ways on all county roads. > Davis added that the Department would supply maps indicating how far the right-of-way extends off on each side of the center line. “Who’s job is it to ask the state?” Forward inquired. Luke, who is Chairman of the Rappahannock Supervisors, volunteered to get the information. Luke requested an executive session before the BZA members acted on Gardiner’s request for a motion to adjourn. Gardiner asked if Luke wanted the executive meeting before or after adjournment. The Chairman of the Board of Supervisors explained, briefly, a provision of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act that requires a motion and vote for executive session be made in open session. Then, he told the BZA members, they can come back into open session and adjourn. Luke stayed for only a few minutes of the closed session that continued with the Commonwealth Attorney and four BZA members for about a half hour after the Supervisor’s departure. At the close of the executive session, Gardiner reported that the only action taken had been to remove the $ requirement placed on Elmer Jenkins earlier in the meeting. Gardiner explained that Jenkins does not have to come back before the Board for a permanent sign permit since county ordinances allow him to erect a sign by right in a business district if the sign does not exceed 20 feet. said he still found it difficult to believe that qualified black applicants couldn’t be attracted if the community used all available resources. “All is not well,” he stated. “I’m sure you’re going to hear some more from us in some school systems. I’m not going to name them now.” White added that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare would also hear further from the Caucus, apparently in regard to alledged violation of federal minority hiring and recruitment guidelines. Dr. Brooks said the Attorney General candidates had been invited to the meeting not to receive an endorsement from the group but to “hear some of the problems in our District.” Deplorable conditions exist, he said, when a school system hires only one black teacher in 14 years and has only one black graduate to go on to earn a higher degree in 16 years. f On Monday, Rappahannock Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer acknowledged that the county had received an application for the elementary principal position from a black. There has been no action on any of the applications received to date, according to Bloomer. All applications have been simply filed. Bloomer said that the School Board had authorized that the vacant position be advertized and applications accepted. He added that no screening had been done as yet. At a meeting with Caucus representatives last week, the Superintendent said he restated the School Board’s previously announced position of nondiscrimination regardless of age, sex, race or national origin. “To do so would cause reverse discrimination which I feel is just as wrong^’ Bloomer stated. Present at the meeting in Culpeper (besides the Caucus representatives), were School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, Ted Nixon, who is HEW Bureau Chief from Philadelphia, and eight to ten other local individuals, according to Bloomer. Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock Forests PART VI: CONCLUSION By LYT WOOD County Forester In the past few weeks I have described some of the land-use alternatives for Rappahannock forests. The underlying theme has been multiple-use management. —that is, managing the land, for several objectives at once/ Objectives which were discussed are timber, firewood, wildlife, and recreation. Only in the case of the Wilderness Area must this multiple-use concept be partially abandoned. Even so, the Shenandoah National Park simultaneously provides wildlife habitat, aesthetic * enhancement, and an ideal watershed, as well as recreation grounds. The federal government controls the land-use and management policies within the park, which represents a major portion of our i mountain land. Responsibility for the remaining 75,000 acres of woodlands in Rappahannock County lies with the private landowners. Intensive Forest Management Anyone who has traveled in some of the European countries has probably seen some examples of intensive forestry. Europe has for a long time been a pioneer in such practices as forest tree planting and fertilization. Stocking levels (density of the trees within the stand) are precisely maintained for maximum timber growth. Many land uses — recreation, timber, water— are extracted from each forest stand. Trees which are cut are fully utilized—even the dead branches that normally fall during the growth of the stand are picked up and used as fuel. ^ Why is this intensive^ management necessary? Forests have become precious in these areas, and heavy demands are placed on them for many uses. How is it carried out? Government intervention. Timber stands are often under state control and government foresters administer mandatory treeculture practices. The need for forest management in the U.S. does not have the apparent and immediate urgency that it does in Europe. It is, nevertheless, highly necessary. Each successive generation places a greater demand on our forests. In the past, our forests have been altered by clearing, heavy cutting, and uncontrolled burning. These events have, in most cases, degraded the land. Natural processes would take many human generations to restore the forest lands to their potential productivity. Virginia Forests In Virginia the government agency that is charged with the protection and management of private woodlands is the Virginia Division of Forestry. The functions of the state forest service are: (1) to protect our forest resources (most of them are privatelyowned) by fire prevention and suppression and (2) to advise the landowner on proper management . of . his woodlands, and to assist him in carrying out any practices that are recommended. Many forestry services are available to landowners free of charge. These services are described in two publications, “Forestry Service to Landowners”, and “Forest Management Programs Available Through the Virginia Division of Forestry”, which can be picked up at the Extension Office at Washington. Or you can contact the Virginiav Division of Forestry, P. O. Box 148, Madison, Virginia 22727. Letter To The Editor Opportunities For Deaf To the editor: When Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act was signed by HEW Secretary Califano last Spring, discrimination against the handicapped was suddenly ruled “out”. As quoted in the May 4, 1977, Federal Register, Part IV: “Section 504 provides that no otherwise qualified hand* icapped individual...shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from ' the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance...As providers of services, recipients (of federal funds) are required to make programs operated in existing facilities accessible to handicapped persons...and to operate their programs in a nondiscriminatory manner.” It was stated that the subpart relating to education had been “closely coordinated with the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975”. We have yet to learn in what specific ways this will relate to the deaf and the hearing impaired. For over 150 years, nearly every state has been providing what they consider to be an equal educational opportunity for deaf children at the state residential schools for the deaf. Local education agencies have not found it possible to employ one specially trained teacher or one special aide with needed special equipment and materials for one deaf child in one given community. Under the law, an equal educational opportunity is required to be provided for all handicapped children. To receive an equal educational opportunity, the deaf child must be able to understand the teacher and be able to receive instruction. The rules do not require that the deaf child be placed in a classroom with normal hearing children, but the law does require that the child be appropriately placed. The contributions of residential schools to the education of deaf children can be studied from over a century’s perspective. It is imperative that states maintain and update the residential schools as a very important alternative in the education of the deaf. Residential schools have been the “golden gate” between the deaf child and the community, and he needs the alternative of going to the residential school if his community has no appropriate program for his education. It will be perfectly legal for local educational agencies to join together and contract for services for deaf children from an intermediate educational agency. The M residential schools, as I * understand, are intermediate agencies and are available to be contracted. Parents of deaf children should contact the school below which is nearest to them if their local schools have no appropriate educational program to meet the needs of their child. Superintendent Joe R. Shinpaugh The Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind East Beverley Street Staunton, Virginia 24401 Superintendent William J McConnell The Virginia School at Hampton 700 Shell Road Hampton, Virginia 23661 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act touches on nearly every area of life, not just education. I would ask of persons who are seeking ways to implement the law within their communities, ‘‘Are you receiving input from the deaf adults who live in your state, city, county, town?” I ask this because, traditionally, deaf persons have been treated as second class citizens. They don’t hear the radio or television; thus, they lack equal access to information. They are not included in public events for lack of available interpreters. For too long, deaf adults have lacked influence on policy development. In brief, a deaf person has not had enough opportunity to make decisions which affect his life and the lives of other deaf persons. Decisions are too often made for him. There have been many meetings to discuss the health, education, or welfare of deaf people where no deaf persons were present with interpreters to allow them full participation. Let’s work together to remedy this situation. FRED P. YATES, JR.

Salt Sustains Life, Industry By DONALD J. FREDERICK National Geographic News Salt once was traded ounce for ounce with gold. As the Roman statesman Cassiodorus observed, “Some seek not gold, but there lives not a man who does not need salt.” The Romans knew what they were talking about. The humble saltshaker on the modern dinner table contains the very essence of life. A blend of sodium and chlorine, salt regulates the exchange of water between human cells and the surrounding fluid which carries food in and wastes out. Sodium is involved in muscle contraction, including heartbeats; in nerve impulses and in the digestion of bodybuilding protein. Keep* Body Stable Without salt the body goes into convulsions, paralysis, death. Blood cells in a saltfree fluid burst. The salt that keeps man alive does the same for industry as the most essential of all raw materials, reports Gordon Young in the September National Geographic. Only a pinch of salt, perhaps S percent of the world’s annual production, ends up as a seasoning on the dinner table. Most of it pours into chemical plants where it leads the give major raw materials used by industry: salt, sulfur, limestone, coal, and petroleum. Salt has some 14,000 industrial uses, more than any other mineral. Salt pickles cucumbers—and metals; helps pack meat, can vegetables, cure leather, make glass, bread, butter, cheese, rubber, wood pulp. As salt—or broken down into sodium and chlorine—it goes into gargles, textiles, and rocket fuels; cosmetics, paints, pharmaceuticals, and photography; soaps, dyes, ceramics, batteries, adhesives, and explosives. The freezing point of a saturate solution—21 degrees Centigrade lower than that of fresh water—makes rock salt an excellent refrigerant, snow melter, and freezer of ice cream. And liquid sodium cools nuclear reactors. May Store Wastes The wastes from nuclear reactors may ultimately be stored in salt beds deep beneath the surface of the earth. Their dryness, ability to withstand earthquakes, and a melting point of 800 degrees make salt deposits the safest nuclear graveyards, scientists contend. Salt already serves as a valuable storage facility. The world’s biggest warehouse near Hutchinson, Kan., was carved from a worked-out portion of a salt mine. Owned by the Underground Vaults and Storage Company, its 300 acres of storage bays reach 650 feet below the surface of the earth. A seed company sends down a bag or two of each new strain it develops so no surface light may annihilate the strain. Corporations store vital papers, microfilm documents, product formulas. One also keeps folding cots and a food supply, for use in case of nuclear war. Other treasures salted away include more than 100,000 reels of classic films such as “Gone With the Wind,” Bibles, furs, paintings, stamp and coin collections, and wedding dresses. The Little Fox

Shoulders, Extension specialist in turf at Virginia Tech. “From mid-August to December is the correct season to improve bluegrass and fescue lawns,” Shoulders said. “Cool season grasses, such as bluegrass and the fescues, make most of their root growth during the fall, on warm winter days, and in the early spring.” “These grasses store food reserves in their root systems during cool weather for use during hot summer weather. But they cannot do so unless there is a supply of plant food available to them.” Almost all their 12-month fertilizer needs should be applied in the fall to supply nitrogen, phosphate, and potash as these nutrients are needed. There are numerous ways to supply the nutrient needs of grass and many fertilizers from which to choose. The main point to remember is that bluegrass and fescue lawns need from two to four pounds of nitrogen and about one or two pounds each of phosphate and potash per 1,000 square feet between now and late fall. Many turf fertilizers are mixed to supply nutrients in approximately this ratio, according to Shoulders. “Since that is too much fertilizer to apply at one time, two or three applications will be needed if the feeding is to be completed on time,” he advises. The most practical program for most homeowners to use to meei the lawn’s nutrient need* calls for use of a complete fertilizer containing about two to four times as much nitrogen as it does of phosphate and potash. The material should be applied between mid-August and mid-September. The earlier date is applicable to the mountains and cooler areas of the state. Fertilizer should be applied at a rate to provide one to one-and-a-half pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. The amount of fertilizer used would be determined by its nitrogen content. Then between Oct. 1 and Nov. 15, and at least four weeks after the first application, the lawn should again be fertilized with the same material used at the same rate. A third application should be made in December. Information on this and similar lawn feeding programs using different analysis of fertilizers is available from County and City Virginia Tech Extension Offices throughout the State. Notice The Rev.' David Moore of the Washington Baptist Church announces that Sunday School classes at the church will now begin at 9:45 a.m. instead of at 10 a.m. This will be a permanent change and will not affect other services.
