32nd YEAR, No. 1 USPS 45558C 8 Pages THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1981 Washington, Virginia Phone 673-3349 20r Teachers Oppose Accounting System The Rappahannock County Education , Association (RCEA) formally stated at last Tuesday’s board meeting its objections to the recently approved accounting procedures for an unqualified audit of the schools’ activity and cafeteria funds. The RCEA charged that the school board acted without knowing how new controls will affect daily classroom routine and without seeking a recommendation from the administration. According to the RCEA, teachers already spend valuable time each school day on matters which do not relate to instruction. The new accounting procedures will take additional instructional time from teachers and time from administrators which ought to be spent in supervising instructional programs and dealing with instructional problems, according to the RCEA. The educational association’s membership questioned why the audit proposal was dealt with so swiftly while "problems of curriculum and capital outlay seem to be endlessly delayed and put at the end of discussions." In conclusion, the RCEA maintained that "the integrity of each school employee is being questioned without cause” by the accounting controls. At the close of the RCEA statement read by association president Lynne Baines. Newbill Miller countered that the audit procedures hadn’t been swiftly approved but rather discussed at several board meetings with the administration involved from the outset. “I dislike very much the bureaucratic system this creates,” Miller said, but added that the board had recently talked with a school superintendent from a system where “thousands of dollars" in one account were incorrect. “I don’t think we’re challenging the integrity" of any school employee, he said, adding that every major organization has an unqualified audit of its accounts. He said he understood the teachers' concerns about the amount of time the new accounting procedures will require. "But Nuisance Laws May Be Only Weapon Against Pollution By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Concerned citizens looking to state air pollution regulations for help in combating the odors drifting into Rappahannock were disappointed Friday night. Virginia’s regulations on “Standards of Performance for Odorous Emissions” appear to give facilities 180 days to stop discharging emissions which cause an objectionable odor, but according to this region's assistant air pollution control ■director, the regulations may be unenforceable. Jack Kearns advised the audience at the court house in Washington that their best chance in combating the stench that blows into the county from Front Royal’s belching smoke stacks lies with nuisance laws. “In my opinion, you’ll have a much better chance of success if you go after it as a nuisance complaint rather than a violation of odor standards,” he said. According to regulations which took effect August 9, 1975, “best available control technology” shall be used to control odorous emissions. In addition, the regulations state that "after 180 days from initial startup, no owner or other person subject to the provisions of this rule shall cause to be discharged into how else can we do it?” Miller concluded, asking for suggestions and admitting he had no idea how activity funds are handled. Impact Unknown “That’s the problem,” Mrs. Baines responded. “No one on this board has any idea of the impact (of accounting controls necessary for an unqualified audit).’* As to Miller’s request for suggestions on how to proceed, the seventh grade science teacher emphasized that she was not a qualified accountant. “Our instructional time is shrinking daily,” Mrs. Baines stated, repeating that in comparison with the problems of overcrowding and capital outlay, the board had dealt swiftly with accounting questions. "I caulked my own classroom windows today,” she announced. “The heat was going from the vent right out the window...It’s been like that the nine years that I’ve been here.” Asked why the situation hadn’t been reported to the building superintendent, Mrs. Baines said that it had and further, that principal Graham Spencer had also caulked the (Continued on Page 4) Special Ed, Vocational 6-Year Plans Updated By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff Writer “We’re not committing a single cent." emphasized Robert Eastham as the Rappahannock school board approved a six-year plan for special education at last Tuesday’s meeting that calls for a special education coordinator, an aide for the combination learning disabled - emotionally disturbed class and additional time for the school psychologist, speech therapist and pre-school specialist for the 1981-82 school year. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel figured that the atmosphere from any affected facility any emissions which cause an odor objectionable to individuals of ordinary sensibility.” What Is Ordinary? “Have you ever gone before a circuit court judge and asked him to determine if someone has ‘ordinary sensibilities’?" Kearns asked. “Take the judge to Front Royal and let him decide if the smell is offensive to ordinary sensibilities,” someone suggested from the audience. Asked repeatedly if state regulations set an unenforceable standard for odor control, Kearns declined to answer with a yes or no. He said, however, that Virginia is one of only six or seven states with odor regulations. He noted that the Food Label Collection Labels from a variety of foods are being collected by the physical education department of Rappahannock County Elementary School. They will be used in helping to obtain athletic equipment for the school. Among the labels which are valid for this program are Campbells Soups, Post Cereals, Awake orange juice. — Rappahannock News Photn/Daphne Hutchinson RUSSIE MILLER of Flint Hill brought Rappahannock closer to its goal in the fund drive for a regional 4-H center with the SICK) donation she gave to extension agent Brigitt Thornhill on Tuesday. The center is currently being built near Front Royal just over the mountain from Chester Gap. staff additions included in the proposal plan will amount to an increase of 2.8 full-time professionals (including the special ed coordinator). The recommended staff expansion will raise the total on special ed salaries ten per cent over the current year, according to McDaniel, while cost of instructional supplies is projected to go up by only $200. The assistant superintended reported that next year’s request for federal funds for special ed will be $22,570, an increase from the $17,000 supplied this year. He said the money is earmarked for psychological services for implementation of a high school program for the emotionally disturbed to replace Piedmont regional school's discontinued program. 2 'A more days for the speech therapist, fulltime aide for LD-ED and equipment (wheel chair, prone board and floor sitter) for the first multiplehandicapped child expected as a full-time student next year. Federal money can be used only for one year to fund the expanded programs specified in the six-year plan. Environmental Protection Agency currently has standards for nine types of pollutants covered in the Federal Gean Air Act but "flatly refuses” to deal with odors. Laws that attempt to control smell are "very, very difficult to enforce,” Kearns maintained. If the Air Pollution Control Board could demonstrate that a facility was violating Virginia's odor control regulations, “we would jump all over them,” Kearns claimed. Upon further questioning, he addmitted, however, that the Air Pollution Board has never tried to take a Front Royal odor case before a circuit court judge. According to Kearns, the responsibility for this decision rests with the Orange Plus beverages. Log Cabin syrups. Log Cabin pancake mix and Wonder bread. The "Post Team-up for Fun *n Fitness” collection is being offered to the school in terms of collecting enough labels to benefit the phys ed department. Each home room will compete during the next ten weeks to see which can collect the most labels. director of region seven, John Doherty. Doherty is the same individual who. in a letter dated December 17 to Peter Kramer, organizer of Friday’s meeting, wrote “it seems unlikely" that Washington’s objectionable smells would be coming from Front Royal “since the last complaint of odor in that area was received on June 28, 1979, and the odor persisted for a one-hour period.” Kearns likewise pointed out that “no written complaints" regarding Front Royal’s odors have been received since the date mentioned by Doherty. He said, however, that complaints on smell voiced at a hearing last year on a request from a Front Royal plant for a variance to the Clean Air Act regulations were not included in the town’s file. No Air Tests In addition, Kearns acknowledged that the Air Pollution Control Board does no testing of the air content in the Front Royal area. Two manufacturing plants there, Allied Chemical and AVTEX, produce hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide, he said. “Testing probably wouldn’t be very productive. We already know what it is (that is being released into (Continued on Page 2) McDaniel acknowledged. In 1982-83. the cost of any of the proposals implemented next year will have to be picked up locally. Federal dollars are supplied only to begin or expand special education programs, not to support classes and services on a continuing basis, according to McDaniel. Of the proposals in the sixyear special education plan tor 1981-82. local funds will be required for the special ed coordinator and for additional time for the preschool child development specialist. "Approval of the special ed coordinator is a decision the board will have to make at budget time." said McDaniel. "It’s the same position we've had in the recommended budget for the past two years tat an annual salary of $17,000), he added. Newbill Miller asked if the proposals for stafl additions come as a result ol an increase in special ed students (Continued on Page 5) -Bappalunnock Newi Photo/ S. Utham COOL, CLEAR WATER—The water supply for the town of Washington is being supplemented by tankers hauling 3500 gallons at a time to the reservoir (in the background). I.J. Long of Bealeton has contracted to transport the precious liquid and Bruce Critzer, center, of Washington operates the portable pump to transfer the water from the tank to the reservoir. With Critzer is the truck driver, Dolphus McCracken and Wallace Critzer whose heavy equipment helped the heavy load up the mountain. 1 1 Tankers Bring Water to Washington By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff Writer . There’s water flowing from Washington's taps this week but the town’s water crisis continues. Springs on * Jenkins Mountain that serve as primary sources for the gravity flow system are still dry. So is the supplementary 66 foot well which has pumped continually over the past seven months since the springs gave out. The town spent $3,(XX) last Monday for three-quarters of an acre adjoining the old well house. Well driller Larry LeHew went down 410 feet on Wednesday at the spot indicated by a Front Royal dowser only to find a disappointing flow of four gallons per minute well under the 15 gallons sought by Washington Mayor Newbill Miller. In the meantime, the town has contracted with a local supplier to haul in three tanks of water a day to dump into the empty reservoir. Each 3,600 truckload costs $105. according to town treasurer Brad Fisher — “$90 for the truck and $15 for the water." The trucks have been arriving regularly since Friday after an inauspicious beginning. The tanker got stuck on the narrow winding road up to the reservoir with its second load until Bruce Critzer come to the rescue with a push from his front end loader. . Tha supplies have made it possVWe for the town’s water system to be turned back on 24 hours pei day after running just a few hours in the afternoon last week. But with the price tag on the tanker’s loads, what’s flowing from the faucets could arriost qualify as liquid gold. Emergency Rate Hike At an emergency session called Sunday evening. January 18. Washington's council authorized changes in town water rates required to offset the costs of buying water while the shortage exists. Charlie Jenkins, councilman and supervisor forThe water system, read meters on Monday and Tuesday. January 19 and 20. Up to that point, normal rates will apply: S4.45 for the base consumption of 3.000 gallons. 12 cents per 100 gallons from 3.000 to 10,000 gallons and 24 cents per 100 gallons over 10.000. For water used after the meter reading^, the council will apply rates that cover the cost of the hauled water, according to Fisher. Base consumption will be dropped to 1,500 gallons for S4.45. Charges of three cents per gallon will be applied on usage over 1,500 gallons. According to Fisher, a low volume pump will be hooked up to the new well as soon as possible this week so the four gallon per minute flow can be carried to the reservoir. ‘‘We’ll cut back on the amount of water we’re buying as soon as we have any significant amount coming from either well and the rates will be adjusted accordingly," Fisher said. In addition, he said, the town is investigating possibilities for paying for the emergency water purchases through funding from a federal agency. Fisher noted that New York declared a water “state of emergency" over the weekend. According to the town treasurer, personnel in the Environmental Protection Agency have indicated that the federal government is close to declaring a similar state of emergency for the entire East Coast. If this happens, he said, the town will im Arson Reward Over $10,000 The reward offered for the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the Halloween Eve barn burning in Sperryville has climbed to over $10,000. -Anyone with information as tb the identity of the arsonists should contact the Rappahannock sheriff’s department, commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner or a local lawyer. Attorneys are bound by confidentiality standards set by the bar association and will relay any information on to law enforcement personnel without revealing their source. mediately become eligible for federal funding. The drought that has been choking the town of Washington since last May has made itself felt across the rest of the country. According to the U. S. Geological Survey, the nation's five largest rivers averaged about three per cent below normal flow in 1980. only the third time in the past ten years that flow has been below average. On the East Coast, the year was even drier than across the nation as a whole. According to the chief of the Geological Survey's Hydrologic Information Unit, combined flow to the Chesapeake Bay averaged about 41 billion gallons a day during 1980. 17 per cent below average. In December, the Bay's flow dropped to 60 per cent below normal. rurther up the coast, the Delaware River, source of much of New York City’s water supply, had an adjusted flow 47 per cent below normal for December. Moving south, parts of Georgia report water tables have sunk as much as three feet below normal. Town Use Doubled While the drought has undoubtably dropped water tables and dried up wells and springs in Rappahannock. Fisher stopped short of attributing the town's water shortage solely to Mother Nature. "The average demand has increased significantly—that's part of the reason why we've had problems with the well." he said. According to Fisher, water consumption has averaged 90 to 100 gallons per day over the past three years. With 119 connections, that works out to approximately 10.000 gallons per day total. In the past two months. (Continued on Page 2) Whorton Gels 10 Yrs. On January 12. Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson sentenced William Browning Whorton of Culpeper to ten years for burglarizing the homes of Norman Grimsley and Robert Kraft, both of Castleton. in June 1979. Pursuant to a plea agreement reached with special prosecutor David Konick. Whorton pled guilty to two counts of breaking and entering. Charges of grand larceny were dropped in return. In addition. Whorton agreed to testify against Walter T. Elam of Remington who is charged with receiving stolen property in connection with the Castleton burglaries. Robertson sentenced Whorton to five years on each breaking and entering charge with three years of each term suspended. Whorton will be on active probation until January I. 1990. Whorton’s wife Juanita Whorton. was given a 12 months suspended sentence on May 12. 1980, for her role in the burglaries in accordance with a separate plea agreement reached with special prosecutor Konick.

No Air Quality Testing In Front Royal (Continued from Page 1) the atmosphere),” he said. “This is only speculation,” Kearns emphasized in answer to another inquiry from the audience, but he agreed that emissions from the two plants “probably” added to the threat of acid rain. Without testing of the air, how can the Air Pollution Board be certain that the smells blown into Rappahannock aren’t due to a pollutant covered by EPA standards, asked Stuart Eiland. “We may not even need to attack the problem on the basis of odor...Isn't that your all’s job?” According to Kearns, Front Royal does not have an air quality measuring station because of the cost involved. He told the audience that “a couple of letters” written to the executive director of the State Air Pollution Control Board in Richmond requesting such a station would get one installed. Kearns stressed again and again that there have been no complaints from Front Royal on either Allied Chemical or AVTEX. He reported that Allied Chemical has spent $800,000 in the last two years on scrubbers to control emission of sulfide compounds. He admitted that certain complex sulfides “won’t come out with scrubbers” but maintained that Allied was employing ‘‘the best technology now available” under regulations “forced upon us by EPA.” According to Kearns, Allied Chemical was granted a variance until December 31, 1981, on installing equipment that will enable the plant to meet certain unspecified provisions of the Gean Air Act. The variance was approved, he reported, by the “civilian board appointed by over governor to take care of the complaints and problems of air pollution,” in other words, the State Air Pollution Control Board. AVTEX, the other major Front Royal plant, is also using “the latest technology available” to control sulfur dioxide emissions, Kearns said. He acknowledged, however, that it’s possible the plant may be producing “more complex sulfur compounds” that are not being controlled.

MAIN ST. CULPEPER that AVTEX sends its engineers every year to Sweden and West Germany, the two leaders in research on emission controls. No Research By AVTEX Robert Dennis, state vicepointed by our governor to League, reported that he toured the AVTEX plant 10 years ago and found at that time that the company was spending absolutely no money on air pollution research and was instead relying totally on European countries for information on how to prevent air pollution. Kearns agreed that AVTEX is currently spending “a very small amount of money on their own" for anything relating to air pollution research other than travel expenses to West Germany and Sweden. "I’ve been smelling that plant for 30 years,” continued Dennis, addressing the lack of recent complaints on Front Royal odors. He reported that the two Isaac Walton League chapters in Fauquier had stopped filing complaints on the stench from the town because they “weren’t doing any good.” Warren County’s two Isaac Walton Chapters are still working on the problem, he said. Dennis relaved quotes from the Izaak Walton presidents in Warren County. Of the smell, one said, “We get used to it.” The other chapter president said, “We’ve learned to live with it. The only way to end it is to shut down 2,000 jobs.” Capt. W. J. Keim, operator of a Christmas tree farm near Amissville, brought in samples of pine trees damaged by air pollution. He said he’d written a letter of complaint to the State Corporation Commission and received a “very sweet” answer back but no end to the pollution. He cited what he described as a precedent setting case in which a company was ruled liable after the complaintant demonstrated under laboratory conditions that the same hydrogen sulfide and ozone pollutants released by the company's facility caused damage to pine trees. ^ ^ Keim asked if the smoke stacks on Front Royal plants hadn't been elevated to get emissions “out of town.” Kearns agreed that the stacks had been elevated and said this move would push emissions “out to the country.” Park Fighting Pollution Robert Jacobsen, superintendent of Shenandoah National Park, was in the audience at last Friday’s meeting. “For the last two years. I’ve been up to my armpits in air matters,” said Jacobsen as he got up to speak. He attributed the odors blowing into the county to AVTEX, noting that the plant had installed bags in June. 1980. to take the color out of the smoke plumes spewed from its stacks. “Now you can smell it but you can’t Morton builoings Since 1903 Come join us... for Discount Days! m Jan. 21 thru 24 | 8a.rn.-8p.rn.

The park superintendent explained that mercaptan tracers are added to natural gas and propane for safety reasons so that leaks of the naturally odorless gases can be detected. Mercaptans are produced in the manufacture of snythetic fibers, he said, and there is no known way of getting rid of the substance except through dispersal by air. Brad Fisher, Washington town councilman and chemist for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, explained that mercaptans are the same substances that give a skunk's spray its distinctive odor. Class I Area According to Jacobsen. Shenandoah National Park and the James River Wilderness are the only Class I air quality areas in the state of Virginia. Rappahannock County, he said, falls under the park's class I “umbrella". The designation means that air quality can only get "this much worse” than it was on August 7, 1977, explained Jacobsen, holding his finger and thumb just a hair's breadth apart to indicate the allowance for deterioration in air quality. The park’s air is protected against three classes of pollutants: total suspended particulars (for instance, soot from burning fossil fuels), sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides. Tests on plants have shown that the park's problems center primarily around ozone. Jacobsen said. “Pine trees in the park are being killed by ozone right now,” he reported. Environmental Protection Agency personnel took air samples this past summer at Overall. Jacobsen said. “General Motors was there, too. They were probably gathering information to fight the controls that are bung under modern' automobiles." he joked. The park has contracted with VPI and UVa to conduct research on Shenandoah's air quality, the superintendent continued. In addition to trying to connect visibility with pollutants, researchers are trying to determine the regionality of the park's air. The air has been traced as far back as Chicago. Cleveland and Akron. Jacobsen said, and as far south as New Orleans. “The Great Valley of Virginia is essentially an air conduit...We’ve learned a great deal but we don't have any answers yet on how to make the air sweeter." he said. "But we're working with you." he told the court house audience. In response to questions. Jacobsen said that park personnel have received complaints from visitors, particularly at Dickey's Ridge, on unpleasant smells carried by the air. He agreed to consider passing on these complaints in written form to the Air Pollution Control Board, adding that he'd never seen the state regulations on odors before Friday's meeting. Island Of Clean Air "We are living on an island with pollution swirling about us. We probably have the cleanest air in the state." Jacobsen said. "But there are no records of violations of the Clean Air Act probably because there’s no measuring equipment.” Going down a list of questions handed him by Peter Kramer just prior to the meeting. Kearns said the Air Pollution Control Board Building? •Paint •Lumber f •MiNwork ' •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 does initiate investigations on suspected violations of air quality standards “and in most cases, we pursue them very vigorously." He noted that he’d logged 21,000 miles last year in the planning district, checking registered installations in Fauquier, Orange. Madison. Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. The state staff in Richmond is the only authority that “can countermand my recommendation,” Kearns said. He added there has not been a single case of an investigation being blocked by anyone in the seven years he’s served on the Air Pollution Control Board. All regulations on air quality set by the Environmental Protection Agency have been adopted by Virginia, according to Kearns. The Air Pollution Control Board’s powers in stopping and preventing air pollution “are about the same the state trooper has in preventing you from going 56 miles per hour on the highway." he said. “Do we catch all the polluters? Of course we don't.” The standards used to define air pollution were set by the U. S. Congress in 1970, according to Kearns. The list of pollutants has been expanded since then from six to nine substances, he added. No Monitoring The Air Pollution Control Board “doesn’t monitor anywhere,” Kearns replied to a question on monitoring the stacks in Front Royal. He said it costs SI2.000 .to conduct a stack test and that this was last done in Front Royal in either 1976 or 1977. The company is informed of the four-hour test before it is conducted. Kearns said. How can it be determined what is in the air when an odor is detected? “Good God. I don't know.” Kearns answered, adding that wind direction, time and weather conditions may help in the determination. Research into the effects of Front Royal pollution on human health and agriculture is being conducted by VP1. not the Air Pollution Control Board. Kearns said.

HOURS: 9:00 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Friday, and 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Saturday As to the major producers of air pollution or odors in this area, Kearns said he has registered in Fauquier, three quarries, two asphalt plants and 13 schools (due to heavy school use of fuels); in Culpeper, two quarries, one asphalt plant, nine schools and three heavy burners of fuel oil or natural gas and in Madison, seven schools. Asked if any of these facilities could be the source of the odors drifting into Rappahannock, Kearns replied that “it’s safe to assume the odor is coming from Warren County.” The Air Board does do follow-up on anyone who makes a complaint. Kearns said. “It looks good on the monthly statistical report," he joked. “That's the name of the game. That's what you pay us for.” As to interaction between Front Royal pollutants with fertilizers and insecticide sprays commonly used in Rappahannock. Kearns said that the county extension agent could best answer that question. Kearns said he knew of no instances of threats or harassment to individuals who’ve complained about Front Royal odors. “I just don’t believe it happens." he maintained. His recommendation on how to proceed on eliminating the pollution problem in Rappahannock is to “consider it a nuisance” and for individual citizens or groups to swear out warrants under nuisance laws. Peter Kramer, organizer of Friday’s meeting, volunteered to set up a second session in about a month with an attorney present. In the meantime, he advised local people concerned about the threat of air pollution from Front Royal to write letters of complaint to the Air Pollution Control Board every time they notice an odor drifting across the mountain into Rappahannock.

Prior to the jump in consumption two months ago, seven gallons a minute was enough to fill Washington’s water needs, according to Fisher. Wednesday morning, Mayor Newbill Miller reported that a geologist from the division of mineral resources has pinpointed five potential well sites, all with good recharge capacity, based on a map evaluation of the area. Miller said, however, that all of the potential well locations are over a half mile from town, necessitating the purchase of additional property before drilling can begin. The mayor noted that the level of the reservoir tank has climbed significantly in the last 24 hours. With the four gallon per minute flow from the new well added to conservation efforts, he said, it will be possible to reduce and maybe even eliminate the need to have water hauled by truck. ‘ All About Burglary Now - You can protect your silver and valuables from burglars!

Water Crisis Dominates Town Council Session By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Discussion of Washington’s water problems dominated the regularlyscheduled town coucil meeting Wednesday, January 14. At the well-attended meeting, town residents questioned Mayor Newbill Miller and councilmembers Brad Fisher, Taylor Updike, Charlie Jenkins, Dorothy Hawkins and Skippy Giles on the events leading up to the water crisis and complicating its solution. At the time of the meeting many townspeople had been without water for five days. Others had' water for a few hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. A few residents had never completely run out of water, but said that what came through the pi^.'s was not drinkable. Miller reported that the well drillers had reached 225 feet as of 6:00. At that depth, there was a flow of four gallons a minute, short of the town s requirement ot 15 gallons a minute. Miller told the council that he could foresee two possibilities: “My optimistic projection is that tomorrow we’ll reach a depth that assures us a good water supply. My pessimistic question is what do you want me to do if the well is dry?” Brad Fisher, who is a chemist with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission as well as a town council member, said that if the town remained without water, the only alternative would be to locate and set up a portable treatment plant to treat available surface water and pump it into the town reservoir. Fisher said that the state health department would not otherwise approve the transfer of lake, pond, or river water into the reservoir even' if chemicals made the bacteria count acceptable. “I don’t understand their attitude,” Dorothy Hawkins said. "Isn’t any water better than none?” Miller and Fisher explained that for complex legal and sanitary reasons, water of lower than standard quality could not be put through the pipes even if people were told the water was not of drinking quality. Peter and Joyce Kramer told Miller that they had no water even though many houses near them did. Charlie Jenkins said that it was possible that their shortage was caused by a leak or by frozen pipes, and promised to check into it. Jenkins said that he had been able to pump water front 2:00 to 5:(X) on Tuesday and Wednesday from the small accumulation in the well added to the trickle provided by the spring. Miller mentioned that fresh water was available for drinking at the Episcopal Church. Fran Eldred, who had been coordinating the distribution of fresh water, said that its use was restricted to the elderly or others who could not fetch water for themselves. Miller thanked the Washington Fire Department for their help in collecting this water. Cause Of Shortage Allen Ryan asked for an explanation of events leading to the crisis. “What really caused this shortage, what has been done to alleviate it. and what can you do to prevent it in the future?" he asked. Miller traced the steps that resulted in the depletion of the town water supply. “Basically, it’s the extreme drought. Usually we pump cReal Estate REALTY WORLD. dl. REAlIOff i SELLING AT A LOSS Nobody likes to sell their homes at a loss, and it is not common nowadays when this happens. But. if this is your case, for whatever reason, here is some advice that might save you a lot of dollars. Unfortunately, the loss sustained on a house sale ordinarily is not tax deductible. And the loss cannot be subtracted from the profit made on another house you owned and sold prior to the one you must sell at a loss. However, the loss IS tax deductible if the house is sold as a business investment. Therefore, if you anticipate that you must sell at a loss, you might consider renting thehouse instead of selling it. Rent it in good faith for at least twelve months and later sell it at a loss and the loss can be deducted on your income tax return. It is treated like a loss from the sale of any other business property. While you rent the house, you can also benefit from other real estate tax benefits such as depreciation.

The spring has been dry now for seven months and the well has been pumping all that time.” The mayor referred to a promised geological survey that the town requested over a year ago. “Since we were unable to get them (the health department) to hurry up and do it. we had to do the best we could without the survey. One well we drilled did not produce enough water. To drill the well we’re working on now we had to locate General Berry and purchase a parcel of land from him by phone.” Miller said that other possibilities the council had explored were buying water from a commercial vendor to put directly into the reservoir and the alternative mentioned before: treating available surface water for town use. “Every time we get somewhere on a solution, we’re slapped in the face with another bureaucratic obstacle,” Fisher said. He reported that there were problems with transporting water even from another approved municipal water supply. “Then you’ve got problems with approving the carrier. It can be done but it takes time, for example, to flush out a milk truck under health department supervision.” Kramer asked if they had investigated purchasing water from a commercial water vendor carrying already approved ' water in an approved manner. “Yes, we have,” Miller said. “The problem here is getting a tractor-trailer up there. We couldn’t guarantee a rig making it on the road to the reservoir, and who wants to risk his rig for a relatively small amount of money?” “If someone could cut a road above the reservoir it could be done,” Kramer said. “What kind of money are we talking about?” “We could get 5,000 gallons for $90 - $100 a day,” Miller said. “We’re willing to pay but we haven’t been able to interest someone in it. The one man who said he might be interested lost interest after I reported the condition of the road.” Ryan said, “I just can’t Conservation Is Up To You In the face of a serious water shortage, residents of the town of Washington have been asked to think rain and to do their best to conserve water. With the ground frozen solid by three weeks of below normal temperatures there’s little chance that the hoped - for rain will raise levels of dangerously low water tables. It will take spring's warm weather and plus steady showers before there’s much improvement in water supplies. So if Washington is to stretch the four gallons per minute flow from its new well to fill the town’s needs, residents must concentrate on conservation. The following are a few ideas collected by the Rappahannock News staff on how to save water. Additional suggestions are welcome and should be submitted to the Rappahannock News, P. O. Box 38. Washington, Va. 22747. This advice is not just for residents of the town of Washington. No one knows how low that old well is until it runs dry. A few steps toward conservation taken today may mean that the well will outlast the drought. Each flush of a standard toilet uses five gallons of water. Don’t flush liquid wastes and whenever possible, recycle water to the commode. Save dish water and keep the plug in the tub while taking a shower, then transfer the water to the commode tank for flushes. The national mania for cleanliness not withstanding, it isn’t necessary to bathe every day. If a wash is necessary, choose a quick shower or a sponge bath. Shampoos can be taken by pouring water on a head bent over a sink. The operation may require two sets of hands but cooperation can save gallons. If the temperature plummets to near zero, resist the temptation to leave faucets dripping in order to protect pipes from freezing. Instead, wrap pipes with heat tape or other insulation for a long term solution. The elderly who are unable to tackle the project should ask a relative, friend or neighbor for help. As a last resort, they can contact the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad whose members have already offered their assistance to the town’s older residents. For washing clothes, nothing beats an old ringer washer on water conservation. Both wash and rinse water can be saved for recycling in the commode. Those not fortunate enough to have a ringer tucked away in a garage corner should either wash small loads out by hand or use commercial laundramats during the water crisis. Check pipes for leaks. Anyone who suspects that they have a leaking water pipe should contact Charlie Jenkins, town council man and water works supervisor, at 675-3376. Turn water off while shaving and brushing teeth. It isn’t necessary to keep the faucet running. Wash dishes once a day and rinse them in a basin or pan of water instead of under the faucet. Use paper cups and paper plates. Write names on the cups so that youngsters can keep the same one all day. Don't run the taps or flush toilets until the water runs clear. The silt is iron salts, not dirt, and the salts are neither dangerous nor harmful. They give the water a metallic taste while hanging in suspension but the salts will settle to the bottom if water is left to sit before drinking. Instead of running the tap until the water flows cold, keep a jug in the refrigerator for drinking. Finally, town residents can follow the example of the Brad Fisher family. For their household of eight, they’ve set a limit of 50 gallons of water per day. The Fisher's son has been given responsibility for monitoring the water meter and giving a warning when the 50 gallon limit is close. So far, they’ve been able to meet their selfimposed restriction, so it can be done. It takes a little effort but in Washington, especially, with water at three cents a gallon, the effort will pay off. H&R BLOCK Rappahannock News Building Washington, Va. 675-3812 Tststfay 1-5 FrMay 2-7 SatwOay H-2 believe that you’ve taken so long to act on this problem. Surely something could have been done at the very beginning.” Miller responded, “There’s nobody who wants water more than 1 do. Believe me. if someone had told me Friday that we would work as hard as we have on this and still not have water, I would have laughed,” The tired council members nodded in agreement. Use Tripled Brad Fisher explained why the emergency had come to a head more quickly than the council expected: “There were five feet of water in the reservoir Friday night and it was empty Saturday morning. Normally, we use 10.000 gallons a day: in twelve hours we used 30,000 gallons.” Fisher said that evidently people paniced when they heard about the shortage, but that a large leak also contributed to the problem. Patrick O’Connell and Rinehart Lynch, proprietors of The Inn. said that they had done a lot of research into obtaining water to keep their restaurant open. Although they had not been successful, they offered to share some of their information with the council. The mayor warned of the hazards involved in opening up old wells (see seperate story). Ryan asked if a state of emergency had been declared. Miller replied that all state levels were aware of the emergency. Miller and Fisher said that the only advantage they were aware of in having the supervisors declare a state of emergency in the county would be to have drinking water brought in by the National Guard. “As far as I know, everyone has drinking water." Miller said, "either from the water at the church or from outside the town. If anyone doesn’t have water to drink, they can call me and I’ll personally bring some from my farm." “Still, it’s there for the asking," Ryan argued. “We should take advantage of it.” Miller protested, “This gesture would be useless. What the town needs is water to flush toilets, do wash, and take showers. The National Guard can't help us with this .... I don’t believe in asking for something we don’t need." The mayor agreed to meet citizens at the court house Friday evening. January 16, to give a further report, and the council briefly considered other business. Zoning Update John Cappelle. executive director of the Planning District Commission, was present to discuss the updating of the town’s zoning plan. Miller asked Cappelle to review the plan and return at a later meeting to advise the council. “We’d like residents to sit in when we review the plan.” Miller said. "We’d like to, make it almost like an open hearing." Miller said that he would provide copies to anyone itnerested in the review. At Kramer's request, Fisher agreed to act as council’s representative to the special air pollution meeting on February 16. Kramer announced his intention to begin a fundraising drive to buy back the benches that were in the church that was recently purchased as the new town hall, and asked if the town council would approve any money for that purpose. Council members said that they supported the idea but that they couldn’t obligate any town money until the water problem was solved. "Maybe some time in the future." Miller said. "We just can’t do anything right now." The mayor reminded those present to call him if they had any information that would help with the water emergency, and the council adjourned. — Rappahannoc k News Photo SWINGING HIGH IN THE AIR, a 50 foot section of pipe is lifted by the crane for positioning in Washington’s new town well.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 22,1981 Fight Pollution It’s time we let our pens and pencils do the talking to the State Air Pollution Control Board. At the special meeting held last Friday in Washington to discuss the stench that has become more and more noticeable in Rappahannock over the past few months, the assistant director of this region’s air pollution control board repeated what we’ve heard before and still can’t believe—that no one has complained about the smell in Front Royal since June, 1979. If there are no complaints on file, the air pollution board assumes there’s no problem even if their noses can prove otherwise any time they drive in the Front Royal vicinity. The first step in protecting Rappahannock’s clean air, a precious commodity that Shenandoah National Park’s superintendent described as an island in a sea of pollution, is to fill the file on Front Royal with complaints. Keep the letters simple. It’s not necessary to include dates at this point. Just let the Air Control Board know that we’ve been bothered in the past by offensive odors drifting into the county from over the mountain. Then in the future, the date, time and if possible, wind direction, on every occasion that the stench blows in and fire off a followup letter with specifics to the board. They say there’s no problem. Let's convince them that there is a problem by directing a barrage of complaints to the State Air Pollution Control Board. Room 1006, 9th Street Office Building, Richmond, Virginia. It stinks in Front Royal and we’re sick and tired of sharing it! This was TheNews.. in Bygone Rappahannock Times. 5 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE controversy centering around a kindergarten for Rappahannock County dominated the January 22, 1976 edition of the Rappahannock News. At the January meeting of the county school board, members discussed the pros and cons of establishing a kindergarten in Rappahannock County. In the Washington social news, it was reported that Miss Melody Green of Amissville had visited Mrs. Sarah Brown and Mrs. Rugh Clark. Toney’s Downtown Super Market in Front Royal had a steak sale, advertising round steak for $1.69 lb.; and T-bone steak for $1.99 lb. George Muth of Woodville was elected chairman of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services Board. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS ON January 21, 1971, The Rappahannock News reported that a drug education workshop would be held for teachers in Warren and Rappahannock Counties. The Skyline Ski Area was purchased by Robert M. Gamble, Jr., of Washington and Arlington. He was pictured with one of the machines installed for making snow. The Rappahannock Arts and Crafts Group met at the home of Mrs. H.R. Terhune near Amissville. The group decided to schedule a program for lamp repair and lamp shade making. Mr. and Mrs. Alpheus Atkins of Woodville announced the birth of their son, Kenny Benjamin, on January 15. Stokes Clothing in Front Royal advertised jeans for $2.75, laundry . baskets for 25 cents, and ladies’ flannel night gowns for SI .75. The Rappahannock Panthers had a very bad season and were last in their basketball conference. Rosemary’s Baby was playing at the Park Theatre in Front Royal. done better in 1961. • and on January 19 of that year they were undefeated and in first place in the conference. Jonas Jenkins and Butch Browning were two of the stars of the team that season. Basketball fans were so excited at their game with Marshall that they had to be restrained by the referee. The Rappahannock girls were also undefeated and won a victory over the Marshall girls: 54^24. The girls made well over 50% of their shots. Doris Day and Rex Harrison were appearing at the Park Theatre in Midnight Lace. Tom Frost Motors advertised their mid-winter specials: a 1958 4-door custom 300 Ford V-8 for $995.00 and a 1958 Ford 4^door country sedan “exceptionally clean inside and out" for $1,195.00. In the Slate Mill News it was reported that Johnny Gaines had visited his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Hall and son in Silver Spring, Md. Mrs. Louemma Moffett entertained the Washington Bridge Club. Those playing were: Mrs. D.D. Miller, Mrs. Charles Bruce, Mrs. Wade H. Massie, Jr., Mrs. R.V. Snead, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Keyser, Mrs. Frank Spalding, Mrs. Harry Lee Smith, and Mrs. G.W. Smith, Jr. Prizes were awarded Mrs. Snead, Mrs. Spalding, and Mrs. G.W. Smith, Jr. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Panthers had Audit Procedures Criticized (Continued from Page 1) office windows himself. The school board handles many items, said Robert Eastham, maintaining that the board had moved “marvelously fast” on installation of the emergency safety controls for the high school shop. “Congratulations,” Mrs. Baines replied. "It should have been done two years ago." The time involved in accounting controls will be dealt with during consultation with accountant Jack Nicholas on implementation procedures, according to Eastham. “No one on this board wants to take one minute more than absolutely necessary from instructional time." he concluded. Badge* Schedule According to the schedule approved unanimously on Tuesday, the board will hold its public input session for the 1981-82 school budget on February 17. Presentation of the superintendent’s budget is set for March 3, response to the superintendent's budget for March 17 and school board adoption of the budget for March 24. The budget must be forwarded to the supervisors for approval by April 1. For time missed before Christmas vacation when classes were cancelled due to the influenza epidemic, the board approved calendar revisions with make-up days on January 24 and 29, February 16, March 2 and either April 13 or 20. Gasses will be dismissed early at 2 p.m. on both January 29 and March 2. Superintendent William Bloomer reported that the federal government will cut its reimbursement for reduced price school lunches by ten cents and its reimbursement for regular lunches by 2.5 cents. Students receiving reduced price lunches will now pay 20 cents instead of ten cents to make up the difference, he said. ‘‘We may well be forced to go up five cents on lunch prices before the end of the year,” the superintendent added. He reported that the cafeteria is currently operating in the black with over $9,000 in cash on hand (not including inventory) to pay slightly over $8,000 in bills. Bloomer and the rest of the board members acknowledged gifts of $500 for each school library from Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Lane of Woodville. The money is to be used to purchase books. Lane is the school board representative from Stonewall-Hawthorne District. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Working Hard Dear Washingtonian: We are working very hard to correct the water problem in the town which we are now experiencing. Most of you know that the well we drilled last week does not yield enough water to solve the town’s water needs. A State Geogolist is trying to determine the best area for us to try to drill for another well. Until the problem is solved we are hauling water by tractor trailer. This is very expensive but the only short term solution would be to do without water. This extra expense has made it necessary for us to adopt an emergency water rate: Up to 1,500 gal.month....$4.45. All over 1.500 gal-month at A Plan To the editor: Although the writer has no known or suspected Iranian blood on which to blame a failure to keep the word given last week in this column of a possible solution to the question then posed, the regrettable fact is that getting together all the components of that heralded solution has taken longer than envisaged so that a rain (note the same letters as in Iran) check is asked. Next week I hope to be able to present a plan for a community tree which will be what it should be. WALDRON O’CONNOR $30. per thousand gal. $30. per thousand is the town’s cost for the purchased water. The Town Council feels that this is as fair as we can be. If you save water your water bill will not be any higher. If you use or need more water then you only pay what the water costs the town. This rate will be in effect until after the water problem is solved. PLEASE CONSERVE WATER! If we can control the leaks in the water lines caused by freezing and if our water supplier delivers the water he has promised the water will stay on twenty-four hours a day. We sincerely regret the inconvenience. THINK RAIN! NEWBILL MILLER Historical Society To Meet The Rappahannock Historical Society will meet at 7:30, Friday. February 6th. at the Rappahannock Library in Washington. Featured speaker will be C. E. “Ned" Johnson Jr., of Sperryville. who will discuss the Fairfax Proprietary.—the 5-million acre grant from the King of England to Lord Fairfax, commonly known today as the Northern Neck of Virginia. “Some deeds in Rappahannock County go back to Lord Fairfax." Johnson said, "and there is a certain amount of romance to the story." The public is invited. Delegate’s Report When I left home for Richmond this week, there was a pretty strong wind blowing. It was just a breeze compared to the whirlwind that's taking pVace here. Mr. Speaker is in complete charge, with earlier than usual cut-off dates for bills and jacking up all Committee Chairmen to "get cracking" or else. Ninety percent of carried over bills from last year are getting killed on the spot. Those that are passed have had their original clout lowered to a third. No damage will be done to our good folks as a result of last years action, thank goodness. Haven’t heard from the Senate side yet, except to report that House Bill 346, the Agricultural District Bill, was killed by a Senate committee Wednesday morning. The Virginia Farm Bureau backed oft so the Patron asked that it be put to sleep gracefully. It had so many amendments put on and taken off. it was if a fellow was "washing his feet with his socks on". Nothing was getting a good cleaning. That afternoon we convened in joint session to listen to the Governor’s State of the Commonwealth address. He stated that the Commonwealth was in good fiscal shape, especially when you compare it to sister states, and then proceeded to divide up a S260 million expenditure expected during 1981. including of course, the $180 million surplus. He plans to double the state employee raise this year from 4 'A percent to 9 percent, trying to catch up with inflation and the business world, and an increase of $56 per student basic aid which will be a help but is no where near enough to offset past years’ mandates and the doubling cost of gasoline and heating fuels. He mentioned a reduction of over 1700 people on state ByGKORGK I*. BKARI) payrolls, over 1100 of which came from the Highway Department alone. I am sure most of you have read or heard his speech by now so f won’t get into more details. It was his longest speech ever. I guess it was longer because so much has happened in 1980 concerning unexpected revenue and needs this past year than in previous years. Now for some pending legislation beginning with the three year old tax limitation bill. This bill is now in the proper posture to come close to making it. It plainly says that the State cannot spend more than the growth of the State's economy. An excess as a result of inflated revenue will be used to reduce the States' indebtedness or be given as a refund to the taxpayer. As it is a constitutional bill, it has to pass the Assembly untouched by amendments for two consecutive years and then be voted on by the people. In the Houe Finance Committee there are several bills calling for a tax reduction. One calling for a reduction of 2 per cent on the State Sales Tax (a loss of approximately $250 million in revenue). Another on tax indexing which calls for an automatic state income tax reduction based on the growth of inflation (no revenue loss figures available yet). One to raise the State income tax deduction from $600 to $1000 (a revenue loss of over $100 million). The last and one that really may pass is House Bill 931 which gives a flat $4500 State income deduction for a single person and $9000 to married persons. Everything over the deductions would be taxed at a 4 3/« per cent rate. This will simplify the filing of tax return and benefit greatly those in low and middle incomes. Those with incomes of $50,000 and over will be paying more. Folks in this category will have greater Federal income tax exemptions. thereby sending less tax dollars to the Federal Government. (Under this bill there will be no loss of revenue to the State). Of interest to folks back home is the finalization of three years of work on the sewage disposal problems our counties have had for years. Landowners whose land did not perk were not allowed to build houses. This has been one of the toughest jobs I have had since being in Richmond. After many hours of meetings and frustrations with the Heatlh Department our subcommittee adopted Draft No. 3 dated November 1980. In addition to these regulations two resolutions were put in the hopper today requiring the Board of Health to allow all types of safe sewage disposal in its new regulations and everything made effective by August 1. 1981. Another resolution entered today required the Board of Health to be responsible for keeping ^breast of advances in sewage treatment technology, something they have not done in the past. Finally. I had a pleasant surprise on Wednesday and that was to become the 47th Delegate out of the 100 to be awarded three major Committee assignments. Mr. Speaker appointed me to the Committee on Education in addition to my other appointments. The vacancy was created when Delegate Michie of Charlottesville became a State Senator.

Possible participation in the upcoming free CPR classes plus a trip to a presentation on 3-Day Eventing by the Orange County 4-H Horse and Pony Club on Friday, January 16, also came under consideration. Plans for future club meetings came under discussion, followed by a lecture on polo by club leader Sherry Hamill. She briefly covered the history of the sport and then went into the equipment required by both horse and rider. The program concluded with talk about a broomstick polo program for the club. For further information, contact leaders Hamill at 364-2266 (days) or Naramore at 937-5367. The next meeting will be the second Friday in February. New members are always welcome.

Special Ed Plan (Continued from Page 1) or an expansion of special ed programs. According to McDaniel, special ed enrollment stands at 135 this year, two over the projection for 1980-81. For .1981-82, anticipated enrollment is 166 and for 1982-83, 177. The assistant superintendent noted that the number of mentally retarded students served is expected to stay the same with the increase coming in speech, learning disabled Jhnd emotionally disturbed categories. “So you’re expanding the program,” Miller stated. McDaniel replied that the increased enrollment comes from “students in the system who’ve been identified as needing help.” Unreliable and temporary government funding is the reason the school board has in the past made its approval of the six-year special education plan conditional upon available money, stressed Beverly Massie, school board chairman. “So, even if we approve the plan, we’re not morally obligated to approve funds at budget time to implement it,” Miller said. McDaniel explained that the school board, however, must approve a special education plan, although not necessarily the document he submitted, in order to receive ANY state or federal funds. The board voted unanimously, with Miller abstaining, to adopt the special ed six-year plan “subject to available funds.” Copies of the plan are available for public inspection at the superintendent's office in Sperryville. Vocational Plan Earlier, the board voted to accept the five-year plan for vocational education with the same proviso on “available funds.” According to superintendent William Bloomer, the updated vocation plan covers programs, procedures and enrollment almost identical to those approved in the past four years. He projected that 1981-82 offerings in the four vocational areas—home economics, business, in dustrial arts and building trades—will require an additional $7,000 over the current year with two-thirds of the increase supplied by the locality and one-third by the statein the ten minute time period before the board’s executive session alloted to questions and comments from the audience, industrial arts teacher Jim Dennis asked that four emergency safety switches to turn off electrical equipment be installed in the high school shop instead of the three planned by the board. The school he taught at last year, said Dennis, had five emergency switches for an area half the size of the RCHS shop while the college he attended had seven emergency controls for the same amount of space. The design approved by the school board allows only a “minimum safety factor," Dennis said. “You’d be better off to go a little bit futher and spend the money for one more switch,” he said. “My worst concern in that shop is getting some kid mutilated in a machine . . . I’m scared. I preach safety alll the time but some day. a kid will make a mistake and will be either mutilated or killed.” The board’s only response to Dennis’ request was a “thank you for your comment” from the chairman. Following a one hour and 20 minute executive session on personnel, the board authorized Dr. Bloomer “to handle the high school custodianship administratively” and approved a substitute teacher and a leave of absence without pay for a school employee. Bloomer and McDaniel were excluded from the last half of the executive session, presumably during consideration of applicants for the superintendent's position as Mrs. Massie stated that employment had been discussed without action being taken. Finally the board offered drinking water to the town of Washington “as needed in fair quantities.” ByRAPOWINGS VPI Extension Agrnt Agriculture Performance Tested Bull Sale Eighty-one senior bulls, 45 Angus, 21 Polled Hereford, 8 Simmental. 1 Hereford, 2 Shorthorn, 4 Charolais, and 1 Limousin, will be sold to the highest bidders this Saturday. January 24, 1981, 12:00 noon, at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises. The 81 bulls selling were calved September through December, 1979, and represent the top two-thirds of the 118 bulls tested. They set a performance record for the 23 years of testing bulls at Culpeper with averages on 118 bulls of 3.20 pounds per day of test, 1053 pounds adjusted 365 day weight and 2.81 weight per day of age. Ike Eller says, “They are undoubtedly the most genetically superior set of bulls we’ve ever tested at Culpeper." Rappahannock County cattle breeders, Robert Anderson and Ray Cannon, have bulls consigned to this sale. Cattle Need Water Just the other day, 1 watched some cattle milling around the edge of frozen farm pond, licking the ice. A small, drought-shrunken stream led from the pond and through the field, but it was completely frozen over. These cattle were thirsty and searching for water. If cattle are going to convert dry hay to energy efficiently and produce milk for that sucking calf, they need an adequate supply of fresh water every day. Traffic Crashes Reported David T. Gravette of Alabama who is living in Richmond was involved in a single vehicle crash last Wednesday night on the bridge at Fletcher’s Mill on Route 522 south of Sperryville. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, Gravette lost control of his 1976 Chevrolet van, overturned and demolished the vehicle. He was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Sperryville Rescue unit. He was treated and released the following day. Charges are pending, said Baines. Early Thursday morning on Route 211 in Amissville, Jerry Franklin Amos of Stanley operating a 1973 Ford apparently fell asleep, ran down an embankment in the median strip of the west lane of the highway and turned over, according to Trooper Baines. The vehicle was a total loss and the driver sustained minor injuries. Folk And Square Dance Since many people missed our previous announcement.

Opening Old Wells May Be Dangerous At the town council meeting held Wednesday, January 14, Mayor Newbill Miller cautioned those present against opening old wells at private homes as a solution to the town’s water emergency. "This poses an extreme hazard, not only for those who drink the water without testing it. but for the whole town.” Miller said. “We’ve put a lot of sewage in the ground since those wells were last used.” Brad Fisher reminded those present to let people know that the water from old wells must be tested again before it is used. “Unless people install dual plumbing or special valves, the unsafe water could also circulate in the town system when the town’s water is restored,” he said. According to William Burke, health department sanitation supervisor for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, it is doubtful that private wells in the town are grouted with a cement filling in the space between the well casing and the ground. "Without grouting, it’s an open invitation” for surface water to run down the sides of the casing into the bottom of the well, creating the possibility that the water source itself, in addition to the well, may be contaminated. Burke said. Surface water carries coliform bacteria. This type of bacteria is not disease producing but if it filters into a drinking water supply, coliform bacteria can cause severe stomach upsets in residents of the town who are accustomed to drinking chlorinated water, according to the sanitarian. If coliform bacteria are found in a well, their presence indicates that disease producing pathogenic bacteria could have also infiltrated the water source, Burke said. He added that sewage from malfunctioning septic systems in the towrn could give rise to pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the santitarian said that connecting a private well to a dwelling now on town water could draw well water back into the town system through negative pressure. He advised anyone considering the use of a private well to have it inspected first by the health department and water samples tested. In addition. Burke said, pipes should be completely disconnected from the town system and the lines capped before hooking up a private well. Youth Bally There will be a youth rally at the Gid Brown Bible Church.

Deer Kill Declines According to Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston, the deer kill in the county for the 1980-81 hunting season was down slightly from the previous year. Bankston projected that the final tally will be between 700 and 750 deer, including does, once records are turned in on animals checked in neighboring counties. Last year, the harvest was around 830. ' “Fewer animals were killed this year than last because there were fewer hunters in the woods, not because of a scarcity of deer,” Bankston said. While the deer kill was down, the bear kill climbed. Bankston reported. To date, the warden said, 16 cards have been turned in for bear, a record in Rappahannock. He added that Madison, Rappahannock and Albemarle counties may account for as much as a half of all the bears taken this year in Virginia. Bankston attributed the increase in numbers slain to a scarcity of food in Shenandoah National Park which forced, the animals to come down to orchards and farms to forage. Although he predicted that the record kill will reduce population in the area for a few years, the warden doesn’t expect a shortened season. “We had a large number of bear complaints this summer because of the large bear population roaming around outside the park. This will keep things in balance.” He noted that of the 16 bears killed in Rappahannock, only two were females. "The males tend to wander much more." he said. Cards for 57 wild turkeys were turned in for the county. Bankston continued, with a 50 per cent split between hens and gobblers. The turkey harvest for Rappahannock in 1980-81 is up slightly over the previous year, the warden said.

jrov. Dalton Earmarks Budget Surplus For Education, Salaries, Medicaid i By BOB BUNNELL Arundel NewApaprr* Stuff RICHMONE>—Virginia Gov. John N. Dalton opened the 1981 session of the General Assembly last week by asking the legislature to give most of the state’s anticipated S183.7 million surplus to education, state employees' salaries and the deficit-ridden Medicaid program. Speaking before a combined gathering of the Senate and House of Delegates, Dalton belabored a list of accomplishments of the first three years of his administration before discussing in ' detail his proposals for dealing with the surplus. To the dismay of many members of the legislature but to the surprise of few. Republican Dalton made no proposal to return the surplus to taxpayers through any of several forms of tax relief that have been suggested since news of a surplus surfaced several months ago. Instead, the Dalton “minibudget,” now going through mark-ups and hearings before the House Committee on Appropriations, calls for expenditures of $48.2 million for education, $47 million to give state employees a nine percent raise this year and $44 million to cover the soaring costs of the Medicaid program. In addition to the three major areas of financing, Dalton suggested smaller outlays for a reduction in levels of asbestos in state buildings, increased emergency medical services, an increase in the fuel assistance program financed jointly by the state and federal governments, and initial financing of an automobile emission inspection program for some parts of the state. Dalton also proposed sending more money to Virginia localities which are housing state inmates in their jails or are planning to provide instruction for mentally retarded children awarded the right to a “public school setting" for their education in a civil rights complaint filed last year with the federal government. Dalton's education budget included $35 million in basic school aid. raising the state's contribution from $1,075 per pupil to $1,155. As required by the legislature's 1980 appropriations act.

The salary hike proposed by Dalton boosts state employees’ pay raises for the second year of the state’s two-year budgeting cycle from the 4.5, percent level approved last year to nine percent. Employees received a seven percent raise last year. As for Medicaid, Dalton singled it out as the state’s most dangerous financial obligation. “We face a situation in which the growth of this one program could endanger our | future support of education, mental health, welfare and a host of other essential state services to our people...We must find a way to keep thjs program within reasonable bounds over the next several years.” Dalton warned. If left to grow at its current rate* the annual deficit the state incurs in the federal program would be S500 million by 1990. he said. Reaction to the governor’s speech was mixed among both Democrats and Republicans. - Many lawmakers, Including most of the large Northern Virginia delegation, have said that the large surplus made 1981 a good year to push for a repeal—partial or total—of the four percent sales tax on food. Other forms of tax relief, like a hike in the personal exemption for income tax. have also been suggested, but the chairman of the House Finance Committee, Del. Archibald Campbell. (D-Wytheville), told reporters after the speech that Dalton has underestimated the surplus and that "certainly there is room for tax relief.” However, Campbell also said he will direct his efforts not at the present surplus that Dalton wants to spend but at future surpluses that are estimated to exceed the current one in coming years.

Campbell agreed with Del. Dorothy S. McDiarmid (DFairfax), that the Dalton mini-budget gave a disappointing amount to education. “It (the education appropriation) needs to be much more,” said McDiarmid, a member of both the House Education and Appropriations Committees. McDiarmid noted that cuts by the federal government in revenue sharing to states will cost Virginia $23.7 million next year. Because the state had normally used its revenue sharing funds entirely for local education, the net effect of the federal cutback will be to make any increases in state support of education impossible, McDiarmid said. Relief in local real estate taxes, which are a main source of local support for education, also will be much more difficult, she predicted. While McDiarmid said she did not see how the governor could have proposed any direct means of tax relief in this session of the legislature, others, including Del. John S, Buckley (R-Fairfax), and Del. Earl E. Bell (D-Hamilton), both said some forms of tax relief using some of the surplus would have been welcome. “Many of us here in Richmond had hoped that the surplus could be used to Deadline Near On SB A Loans The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved over 200 Virginia farm loans totaling nearly 16 million dollars for crop losses from the 1980 drought and with only two months left until the application deadline, the Agency expects ..increased activity. ’“We have accepted ovd| 450 applications requesting nearly 36 million dollars.” said Richard Segrave-Daly. SBA District Director. "However, we believe many Virginia farmers have been waiting for complete harvest records and the end of the tax year before applying to SBA.” The deadline for filing loan applications for crop losses is March 5. 1981. The sooner an application is filed, the sooner it can be processed. It takes abput 4 to 6 weeks to process an application and come up with a determination.

School Board Election Bill For Virginia ? ! 4 Chances for legislation allowing popular election of school boards in Virginia are better than ever in this session of the General Assembly, according to Del. David G. Brickley. (D-Prince William). The House of Delegates Privileges and Elections Committee was scheduled to vote this week on Brickley’s bill that would allow for localities to decide by referendum the method by which their school boards would be chosen. The Brickley bill would require signatures from 10 percent of locality’s voters before being placed on the ballot, ensuring substantial support before a vote is allowed, Brickley said. Testifying in favor of the bill last week were representatives of the Virginia Education Assocation and the Virginia Taxpayers’ Assocation, groups divergent in their views on almost every other subject but in agreement over the school board issue. Brickley, who has worked for popularly elected school boards since joining the House in 1975, said Virginia is the only state without some provision for elected school boards. Arlington County elected its school board for fen years until the board angered the legislature by voluntarily desegregating Arlington schools more than two decades ago. In the 1980 session, a bill was defeated allowing Arlington again t$ elect its board. / Brickley said th$ legislature has been hesitanj| to act in recent years becausq it is ‘‘afraid of the unknown,” he said. “I can see that if we weri the first state to try it, but we’re the last one.” Drug Bill J Voted 13-0 ' Opponents of drug paraphenalia were elated las^ week by a 13-0 vote in th^ Senate Courts of Justice Committee favoring a biU[ banning the sale of equip-j ment used in taking illegal and controlled drugs. The bill, a carryover itenin from the General Assembly’s 1980 session, is one of several on the same subject presented to the legislature for consideration during it? 1981 session. Foot Facts by Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot specialist HfcfcL r AIN HAb MANY UAUbES We can see heel pain in a 10 year old child - we can see heel pain in a 45 year old jogger - and we can see ' heel pain in a 65 year old woman. This is one malady of the foot that can strike at any age This is because it has many causes. The most common cause of heel pain is a tight plantar ligament - the ligament that starts from the heel bone itself, spans the arch and attaches at the front of the foot. A common complaint is that the foot hurts more after sitting for a while and then the person tries to get up If the condition is left untreated a heel spur may develop Heel pain can be treated successfully with simple methods such as strappings, physical therapy and medications Surgery is only a last resort Lastly - obesity is an irritating factor, not a cause of heel pain A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment from the office of Dr. B.

Byrd, Jr., Ind-Va., has been cited as a leading champion in the U.S. Congress of measures aimed at bolstering small business. Byrd and four other senators tied for first place in rankings done by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Byrd, who was a member of the Senate’s Task Force on Small Business, said he was delighted to be associated with efforts to reinvigorate small business. “Small business provides Road Resurfacing Bids Contractors have been asked by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation to offer bids on January 28 for the annual resurfacing on secondary roads, light-duty primary highways, and shoulders along interstate highways throughout the state.

Foreign & Americar Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese _Made Cars_ JACK'S Service Center 30 Ashby Street _Warrenton resurfaced this year, compared to 5,100 miles last year and slightly over 5,300 miles in 1979. The reduction is due to higher costs and limited highway funds. The amount of work to be done in each county is based on such factors as population, traffic volume, and the number of miles of highway. Resurfacing of each section is scheduled about every fifth year, although some roads. are not treated for six. seven, or eight years. Other heavily-traveled roads and roads in poor condition may be treated more often. . Last year, the light-duty resurfacing cost about $18 million. It will cost slightly more this year. About 16 million gallons of asphalt will b6 sprayed over the roads to seal cracks and 561,000 tons of stone will be spread and compacted on the surface. Bids for plant-mixed asphalt and stone resurfacing and slurry sealing on interstate and heavy-duty primary highways and secondary roads will be received separately March 3.

Those Nearing 65 Must Act People nearing 65 who are not already receiving social security benefits should contact the Culpeper social security office 2 or 3 months before their birthday, Bruce A. Hundley manager said recently. These people should do so in order to be sure that they have full Medicare protection the month they reach 65. This is true. Hundley said, even though they have .no retirement plans. People not already getting monthly benefits have a limited time to act to be sure their full Medicare protection begins at 65. If they don’t act within the 3-month period before the month they reach 65. their Medicare medical insurance protection can be delayed from 1 to 3 months. Medical insurance may be delayed for a year or more if I a person fails to act within the 3 months after his or her 65th birthday month, and the monthly premium may be increased. I. People snouia nave certain evidence available when they contact the office, Hundley said. This includes their social security card or a record of the number; proof of age. preferably a birth or baptism record made shortly after birth; and a W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) or selfemployment tax return for the previous year. People who don’t have this information should not delay contacting social security. The personnel »t the Culpeper office can suggest other evidence which can be used. Information about Medicare and social security monthly benefits is available at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is (703)825-3500.

The next class wilj be held at the Amissville fire hall next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from T to 10 p.m. Creosote Causes Problems With the increased use of wood-burning devices in the home, creosote is becoming more of a problem across the commonwealth. For example, the Virginia State Fire Service Commission reported in a 1979 survey for one-third of the state that there were 924 creosote fires in rural areas. These fires killed 11 persons, injured 22 and caused $1.3 million in damage. Eugene M. Wengert, ' Virginia' Tech Extensitm specialist in wood technology, called the actual combusion process for wood a gaseousphase reaction—that is, most solid wood fuel, up to 85 percent, is vaporized before it bums. may burn too hot. This will cause the operator to restrict the air supply to the stove to cool the fire. “The problem is not the wood, but how the appliance is operated." Wengert said. The fuel supply, not the air. should be reduced when the operator has dry wood and the need for only a little heat. “With wet wood, excess air is required to keep the fire eoing, so- usually-there is Enough oxygen. TheYlsk with wet wood is that the flue and chimney may be cool and condensation could occur with any unburned gases. “This would be likely in an open fireplace with wet wood that is smoldering.” he concluded. Castleton Clifford Cooke has returned home after being a patient in Winchester Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Effie Settle is recuperating at home after being a patient in Culpeper Memorial MrtipWaC Mr. and . Mrs. Carson Edwards and Theresa of Catlett were Sunday guests of Mrs. Edwards' parents. Mr. and Mrs. Acrey Dodson. l he remaining iuci, ui charcoal, is burned when it reaches a glowing temperature and combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. “Actually.” Wengert said, ‘‘before we can burn or vaporize wood, the moisture in the fuel first must be eliminated. The size of the wood particles influences the rate at which moisture is expended and the wood is vaporized.” When wood is burned in insufficient oxygen, then vapors from the solid wood fuel will not be ignited completely and burned, said the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences faculty member. Instead, they will be carried up the chimney or flue, as the hot gases rise, and will result in smoke rather than colorless gases coming from the chimney top. “These vapors behave like water vapor in that they will condense from a gas to a liquid when they come in contact with a cold surface," he said. Wengert explained that when the gases condense with water vapor, the resulting black or brown, smelly liquid is called creosote. It is tlammaoie. neat it and it will form a highly combustible gas again. As the water leaves the liquid creosote, it becomes tar-like and less runny. "Continued exposure of creosote to heat eventually will result in conversion to soot,” he explained. "Soot also occurs because carbon particles are carried up the chimney with the hot gases.” The specialist said that in order to eliminate creosote, always operate a stove or other appliance with an adequate air supply to assure complete combustion. Also, always install and operate stoves so that flues and chimneys are hot to avoid condensation. When wood is burned in an appliance in which the air flow can be regulated, dry rather than wet wood often has the higher risk of creosote problems because it Park Freeze Introduced A bill that would freeze the < size of Shenandoah National i Park ' within its present 1 boundary limits of approximately 194,000 acres has been reintroduced in the 1 97th Congress by Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson. Robinson has maintained for several years that the ultimate park size of 521,000 acres, envisioned by the Congress when the park was authorized in 1926, is no longer practical or realistic, due to permanent settlement and development along the park's current perimeters. Robinson's bill would have the effect of wiping the outdated, larger boundary authorization from federal law. According to the Congressman, the enactment of his measure would provide assurance to worried property >wners living near the park hat their land could not be aken for park expansion, mless at some future time he National Park Service vere able to gain the specific consent of Congress for such an expansion.

Stokes and wife to Orchard Hill Farm, 484 acres less and except 6.181 acres, Good Tires Critical For Winter Driving “Keep in touch” usually means you want to talk to someone at a future time, but for winter motorists those words mean safe driving. Many Virginia motorists prepare their car s for winter with tune-ups, a shovel in the trunk and an ice scraper for the windows, but they forget to check the condition of their tires, says Glen H. Hetzel, a safety specialist. "Winter driving can be made safer if motorists remember the most important factor is maintaining control of their vehicle,” he says. "That means they need good ties to maintain contact with whatever surface they are driving on. That’s not a startling fact, but it is a very important one." Using regular tires as a base, the National Safety Council determined through testing on loose snow that snow tires increase traction by about 300 percent. Many motorists, however, don’t want to spend the extra money for snow tires. A number of tire markers now Park Travel Up in 1980 Travel in Shenandoah National Park for 1980 showed a slight increase over 1979. according to statistics released by the National Park Service. Visits to the park in .1980 totaled 1.769JQ0. a rise of 8.8 per cent over the 1,625,700 in 1979. Overnight stays were also up 474,950 in 1980 compared to 462,226 in 1979. For December. 1980, in contrast to the same month in 1979, however, visits to the park declined by 45 per cent from 43.700 to 24,000. As measured at Big Meadows Weather Station, the high temperature for December, 1980, was 61 degrees and the low minus ' six. Precipitation and snowfall both totalled one inch for the month. Flour Beetles Are Pesky Flour, cornmeal and other grain products stored in kitchens are frequently attacked by insects. Flour moths, weevils and grain and flour beetles are the common pests involved. According to William H. Robinson. Extension entomologist at Virginia Tech, the most common beetles associated with flour or stored grain include the flat grain beetle, confused flour beetle, red flour beetle, and sawtoothed grain beetle. Adults and larvae of these beetles infest flour, bulk cereals, broken packages of breakfast foods, pet food, and dried fruits. Adult beetles lay eggs on or in the food materials. Development through the egg and larval stages is rapid in warm rooms. “The larvae transform to a pupal stage from which new adults emerge to lay more eggs." Robinson said. “Infestations can build up rapidly from a small beginning under warm conditions.” The control of flour beetles, like other pantry pests, requires a careful inspection of all cereal foods, discarding the heavily infested materials, repackaging material in broken containers, and vacuuming kitchen cabinets. “Vacuuming the cabinets will be more beneficial than washing them," noted Robinson. “Vacuuming will remove flour dust and scraps in the cracks and crevices of the cabinet. Washing just makes a paste.” For more information on the control of kitchen pests, contact a local Extension office. Hawthorne and Piedmont Districts. Allen Y. Stokes to Harriet B.

Reducing pressure does not increase traction, but it does increase tire wear. And when driving on snow or ice. be a “featherfoot” on the gas pedal. Spinning wheels dig deep holes in the snow and waste gasoline. Report Cash Tips Persons who work in jobs where they receive cash tips can earn valuable Social Security protection through those tips, if they are reported to the employer, according to Bruce Hundley, manager of the Culpeper Social Security office. Cash tips amounting to S20 or more in a month in a person’s work for one employer count for social security. Tips received in a form other than cash do not count. A worker is required to give his or her employer a written report of tips if they add up to S20 or more in a month. The report is due within 10 days after the end of the month, but an employer can require reports more often. ++++ Man is an apprentice, pain is his master; and none knows himself so long as he has not suffered. r — Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson WELL .DRILLER Larry LeHew welds two sections of pipe together before sinking the casing for the new town well into the ground. Despite digging to 410 feet, LeHew was able to find a flow of only four gallons per minute, not sufficient for the town’s needs. The new well will be fitted with a low volume pump and hooked into the reservoir tank this week. Direct Deposit Of Checks Saves People receiving social security checks in the Rappahannock area can have them deposited directly into a checkings or savings account at a financial institution of their choice, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper said recently. Direct deposit has several advantages, he said, including: —No worry about check being lost. —No worry about check lying in mailbox when away from home. —Savings in time and transportation and no standing in line to cash or deposit check. —Money in an account is safer than carrying cash. A person can deal with any financial institution he or she chooses, including a commercial bank, savings bank, savings and loan association. Federal or State credit union, or similar institution. Since banking practices vary, a person should find out how the financial institution handles direct deposits, whether a statement is sent, about any service charge, minimum deposits, interest rates, and special services provided. To arrange direct deposit, a person should complete a form, SF-II99, available at the financial institution. A monthly benefit check shows all the information necessary. Direct deposit only authorizes deposits into your account; it does not authorize withdrawals. For more information, ask for a copy of the leaflet. “Direct deposit of your monthly benefits.” at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center.
