Parkway Gift Shop Imports A Bit Of New York To Sperryville Editor's note: Several weeks ago the Rappahannock News published an article on the effect of Route 66 on Sperryville businesses. In the next few weeks, we will be taking a more detailed look at how several Sperryville merchants are preparing for uncertain times ahead. By THERESA REA ISOLDS RapfuhiniMirk V»« Suff V rilrr In Sperryville Rex Miller and Mike Sacco have added a new dimension to the Rappahannock lunch scene. At their Parkway Gift Shop they’ve put in a delicatessen, receiving deliveries from New York, Baltimore and Washington of cheeses, meats and desserts like black forest cake, cheese cake and carrot cake. “Business at the deli has been just excellent," Sacco said. “It has greatly exceeded our expectations." Sacco explained that the deli had been part of the original plan for Parkway when the two bought it in 1978. “A friend convinced us that we ought to have a restaurant here,” Sacco said. “We got sidetracked thinking about the restaurant and when we realized that the times were not right for borrowing the kind of money we’d need to start up, we went back to our original plan of setting up a New York style deli.” Both Sacco and Miller agreed that this step came at just the right time, as their need to attract local business increased with the drop in tourists using Sperryville to enter Shenandoah National Park. “I’d say our business is 75 percent local, 25 percent tourist at the deli,” Sacco said. “By ’local’, I mean folks from Sperryville, Washington, Flint Hill, but we do have people who come from Luray and Amissville just to get a sandwich for lunch. And we have a lot of repeat customers.” A visit to Parkway on a Saturday afternoon illustrated Sacco’s point. Although the shop seemed normally busy, with tourists wandering in and out for souvenirs, fruit and Blue Ridge crafts, customers were crowded around the deli counter long past the lunch hour for subs and the delicatessen salads to go with them. Sacco and Miller are well qualified to operate a gift and novelty shop. They met in Uniontown, Pennsylvania where Miller ran a shop similar to Parkway and Sacco was a sales representative for an importer and manufacturer. “Mike would call on me and advise me on what to buy,” Miller recalled. “After a while 1 joined forces with him and we traveled together. We use to come by here when Mr. Stokes and Mr. Atkins owned it and when we had a chance to buy it we did, and moved our families here.” Running a business like Parkway is not just a matter of hanging out a sign and (Continued on Page 2) J More Funds Tentatively On Line F or Sperryville Sewer By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock I'irwn Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority members heard good news and bad news on the future of the long delayed Sperryville sewer at a meeting Monday night with representatives from the State Water Control Board (SWCB). The good news is that the community still enjoys the dubious distinction of being ranked as the number five health hazard in Virginia, putting it near the top of the list for treatment facility construction grants from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for correction of existing health hazards. In addition, SWCB pollution control specialist Stuart Wilson reported that Sperryville’s being a small, rural community willing to solve its pollution problem with alternative and innovative waste water treatment systems works in its favor. Ordinarily, EPA grants cover only 75 percent of construction costs. Additional funds are available, however, for projects in communities with less than 3,500 population and for projects other than traditional sewage treatment plants, he said, making it possible for Sperryville to get 85-90 percent funding. Wilson said that the SWCB has set aside $1,417,000 from EPA for construction of Sperryville’s treatment facility. But the. bad news is that funds will not be available until federal fiscal year 1983 and funding then is still uncertain. The prospects for receiving federal money from EPA are “fairly bleak,” Wilson acknowledged, noting that the Reagan administration plans to cut waste water treatment allocations from a total of $4.5 billion nationwide to around S2 billion. In addition, a bill now before Congress would gradually reduce the federal funding level for sewer construction projects from the current 75 percent share to just 55 percent, according to Wilson. At the same time, the Reagan administration wants federal money to go formerly allocated by HUD to go to the states in block grants with the state then deciding which projects are funded and at what level. Wilson said that Virginia Governor John Dalton is expected to sign an agreement accepting the funds in two to three weeks at which time money will be allocated through the state office of Housing and Community Development. Guy Wingfield, director of that office, will send out letters to municipalities within the next month, explaining the availability of the block grand funds, the SWCB polution specialist said. “I strongly recommend that you pursue this funding source,” Wilson told the WSA members. Before briefing the WSA on the current status of the Sperryville sewer project, Wilson reviewed the history of efforts to correct pollution of the Thornton River caused by the village’s malfunctioning septic fields. 1976 HUD Grant Cancelled Efforts to secure finding began after the Health Department closed Lester Deal’s sandwich shop and threatened similar action for other Sperryville business on the grounds that the polluted river posed a health hazard. In 1976, the Department of Housing and Urban Development offered the county a $188,000 grant. When the project still hadn’t received final approval from various regulatory agencies by April, 1981, the grant was withdrawn in accord with President Reagan’s recommendation that all unspent funds from 1976 be rescinded. “HUD has taken the position that there was no fault on Rappahannock County’s part in not using the funds," Wilson said. “That's important because it won’t prejudice the award of future grant money...Rappahannock’s record is still clear.” With the expected switch to the block grant method of funding, it is anticipated that more money will be available this year than last for small communities, savings realized through the state rather than federal government acting as administering agent, according to Wilson. EPA Fonda Deferred In addition to the $188,000 from HUD, the Sperryville (Continued on Page 4) Supervisor Endorsement Needed Recreation Authority Wins Grant For Basketball, Tennis Courts By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON R«|>|>ahannork Vw» Staff lriti*r If the county supervisors give their stamp of approval, the Rappahannock Recreation Authority will be awarded a $63,837 matching grant to transform the recreation center across the highway from the town of Washington into Rappahannock County Park. The Virginia Commission on Outdoor Recreation has already approved the grant. The only obstacle still remaining before formal approval of the award is given in Richmond on September 22 is securing a promise from the supervisors that they will "take title to and assume responsibility for the Rappahannock County Park.” The agreement to take title to the recreation property is essential since the local share of the matching grant is being supplied through donation of the six acre site to the county, according to rec authority counsel and former chairman Douglas Baumgardner. Baumgardner will go to Richmond on September 22 to make the formal presentation to the Commission on Outdoor Recreation, providing, of course, that the supervisors pass the required resolution at their meeting next Tuesday. Rec authority members do $1,000 Bond Set For Court Appearance In a court appearance last Friday, Peter Marx, complaining witness in a felonious wounding incident, criticized the judicial system for providing his alleged assailant with a forum foi “emptying his vituperative against the authority structure.” Marx was brought intc court to discuss his ap pearance at the trial o Ernest Lee Douglas or charges of feloniou: wounding arising from ar incident which occurred November 18, 1979. Identical charges were lodged against Douglas a year ago and at that time, Marx, who was wounded in the shooting, failed to appear and so charges were subsequently nol prossed. Judge Shore Robertson noted. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner brought the case back before the grand jury for a new indictment last August after Douglas, a resident of Rich mond, returned to the county and moved into Marx’s weekend home near Washington. In response to the new indictment and trial, Douglas has maintained that Marx’s testimony is material to the case. Therefore, Judge Robertson explained, he is required to put Marx on bond to ensure his appearance at the September 23 trial, setting the amount of the surety at SI,000. (Continued on Page 2) not anticipate that a resolution accepting responsibility for the park will entail »pending any. lax dollars, at least not in the foreseeable future. Currently, maintenance costs run about SI,000 per year and are covered through fund raising activities organized by the authority, such as the annual Fodderstack Race. The added facilities envisioned for •the county, park will require only a negligible rise in upkeep expenses, according to authority members.

Grimsley, right, retired effective September 1 after working for 33 years with the Virginia Department of Highways as an equipment operator. He was given a wrist watch by his fellow employees and received a certificate from Maintenance Superintendent W. D. Bywaters. In Arson Case Multiple Charges Still At Issue Curcuit Court Judge Shore Robertson heard arguments last Friday challenging the conviction of Clarence “Pete” Martin on five counts of arson involved in the burning last Halloween of barns and other property belonging to the C. E. Johnson family of Sperryville. Defense motions filed by attorney Lee Albrecht asked that the verdict in the Martin case be set aside. In written arguments, Albrecht maintained that the * prosecution failed to prove that the fire was of incendiary origin or that Martin was the criminal agency behind the fire. Robertson dismissed both points, finding the presumption that the fire started naturally had been overcome by the commonwealth’s "negative evidence” which ruled out natural causes. He acknowledged that Martin’s proximity to the scene of the fire on Halloween eve was not sufficient in and of itself to prove he was the cause of the blaze. He noted, however, that according to testimony «i volunteered by Albert I Gatewood as part of a plea I bargain agreement, Martin | confessed to setting the fire. Robertson recalled that four defense witnesses questioned ' Gatewood’s truthfulness. “But the jury accepted his testimony,” the judge added. On a third point raised by Albrecht, the multiplicity of charges lodged against * Martin, Judge Robertson ! asked for further arguments ' from the defense and 1 prosecution. Albrecht maintained that one fire, “one towering inferno’’, was involved in the blaze that destroyed four barns and the property in (Continued on Page 4) Rappahannock Now. Pfcoto/S. Latham APPLE TIME IN RAPPAHANNOCK—Apple harvest has already begun on earlier varieties, but there is still much to be done, including spraying. Eddie Mallory drives the tractor and operates the pressure sprayer which fans the heavy mist over the trees, a solution to prevent apples from dropping too soon. After the harvest there is the continuous task of picking up the drops and then into the dormant stages of the trees which will need priming. This scene was in the Moore Orchard near Flint Hill. Democrats hilect Five Delegates At the local mass meeting Monday night at the court house, Rappahannock Democrats elected five delegates to the party’s 18th legislative district convention to be held September 3 in Front Royal. Chosen as uncommitted delegates were Douglas Baumgardner, Diane Bruce, Carson Johnson, Charles C. Lewis and Truman Keesey. Richard S. Catron, Page County supervisor who is seeking the Democratic nomination as delegate from the new 18th district, addressed the mass meeting. The new 18th district created by Virginia’s 1981 House redistricting plan is comprised of Page, Warren, Clarke' and Rappahannock counties. As the only declared candidate. Citron is virtually assured of fanning the Democratic nontination for the seat and will face Republican incumbent Raymond R. Guest, Jr. in the November election. out me winner in November will serve only a single year in the House of Delegates rather than the :ustomary two year term. Last Tuesday, a special threejudge federal court found Virginia’s redistricting plan unconstitutional on the grounds of unacceptable population variances between districts. Since election machinery is already in place, the judges agreed to let balloting proceed on schedule but limited the terms of delegates elected this November to one year. The court gave Virginia’s General Assembly one year to come up with a new redistricting plan, recommending strongly that it include 100 single member districts. If the legislature fails to act, the court may impose its own plan. In addition to political matters taken up at Monday night’s mass meeting, county Democrats began planning for a fund-raiser to be held this fall.

Parkway Gift Shop Imports A Slice Of New York To Sperryville (Continued from Page 1) waiting for the tour buses to roll in. The huge stock at Parkway must be monitored for what is selling, what should be re-ordered and what should be dropped. With the thousands of small soveniers and gifts it seems like an impossible task, but Miller said that he does it all in an informal way: "I’m just always watching, checking - I’m always aware of it wunoux naving iu mane an extra effort. I just know where we are and how we're doing with each item.” I talked to Miller and Sacco about the importance of being able to spot trends in the novelty business. How important is it to have a big stock of pet rocks, or mood rings when the boom suddenly hits? “We're not too concerned with fads like that,” Sacco said. “Actually, both of those fads lasted six months at the longest. We need to be able to spot more gradual, longer lasting trends.” Sacco gave the popularity of the peace symbol and the smile as examples of novelty trends that lasted a long time. “There was also a fairly long period of interest in Indian jewelry,” he said. “This is something that always sold some and still does, but there was a period when turquoise and silver sold extremelj well.” Sacco said that the trend right now is for western wear and accessories, and he attributes that to the popularity of the TV show “Dallas”. He said that some national fads that appear to be taking the country by storm barely cause a ripple in the trade. I asked him about the Davy Crockett boom in the late fifties • an earlier western fascination. “As much as that was publicized,” Sacco said, "It barely affected novelty sales at all.” Sacco ana Miner saia mat their main emphasis is not on formulating get rich quick schemes by having the right gimmick at the right time, but by stocking the standard items that always are in demand. “Wood, candles, glassware - these are the items that sell well all the time,” Miller said. Besides their deli, the owners of Parkway have come up with another idea that has added to their business. They have been marketing the “Spertyville” label on jams, jellies, syrups and cider. “We figure this helps everyone in Sperryville, not just us,” Sacco said. “A lot of the local fruit stands also sell this label.” He said that soon pickles and relishes as well as maple syrup will be added to the Sperryville line.

There are trade shows in the novelty and gift business - one every month in the off-season, according to Sacco. They have a furniture line, too so that gives them a whole new set of trade shows to attend. And they have plans to expand the delicatessen. “We’re going to get a couple more cases,” Sacco said. “A dessert case and a second deli case.’’ And all Rappahannock pizza lovers will be glad to hear that Sacco and Miller hope to install a pizza oven in the delicatessen in the near future. All this is part of their plan to expand service to local people, but Sacco admits that at least part of it is for their own benefit. “Well, Rex and I were getting awfully hungry out here before the deli,” he said. Miller lives with his wife Elaine in Sperryville, and Sacco and his wife, Brenda, live in Culpeper. Rappahannock Newt Photo/T. Reynolds THIS WAY TO THE DELI. A New York - style delicatessen is the newest addition to the Parkway Gift Shop in Spefryville. Parkway’s owners have found that the local popularity of the deli is making up for the recent drop in the Sperryville tourist trade. Rec Authority brants Money For Courts (Continued from Page 1) used for two tennis courts and a basketball-all-purpose court to be built where the volleyball court is presently located. The volleyball net will then be moved east toward the river. Rec authority members also intend to put in a riverside barbeque and picnic area on the banks of the Rush River. Since that portion of the recreation center property lies in flood plain, the benches, tables and other equipment will be anchored in concrete. Railroad tie steps with an observation deck will lead down to the new picnic area, according to drawings prepared by the planning district for the rec authority. In addition, grant funds will be used to gravel surface a parking area for approximately 20-25 cars. The In will also be delineated by railroad ties. According to rec authority member Diane Bruce, a grant application for the project was first submitted when federal money was available under the Carter administration. But when the Reagan administration took over, a freeze was put on all federal funds allocated to the states for recreation. When the money was freed, COR found that its budget had been cut by 30 percent. Rec authority members were sure at that point that their Rappahannock County Park wouldn’t be funded, believing that all the state’s money had already been designated to projects submitted earlier than their application, Bruce said. But the money hadn’t been committed and their request was helped by the fact that none of the counties in this planning district had ever received a COR grant, she added.

Rec authority members gathered the necessary information for the grant application under the direction of John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission. Key assistance was also provided by J. A. B. Dahlgren of Huntly who appraised the six acre parcel and improvements, Bruce noted. Originally, the rec authority members wanted to build a public swimming pool on the property. They found, however, that a pool would cost about $200,000 to build. “And that’s just a small one, not an Olympic pool,” Bruce noted. In addition, she emphasized, continued maintenance costs would be high for a swimming pool. "To get the money for a pool, the authority members would have had to take out a note for $35,000 just to come up with our matching share,” Bruce said. She pointed out that Madison County was forced to close its public pool, a going concern for many years, last summer when the operation didn’t make enough money to support itself. “We figured if they couldn’t do it, we certainly couldn’t here.” Bruce also noted that space was a factor in considerations of pool construction or adding a baseball or soccer field. Nothing can be built under the major power transmission line that crosses the property and building in flood plain along the river bank is restricted. “With what we’ve got, what can we build? There’s not much of that six acres that we can do a lot with,” she said. In addition, athletic courts have been in the planning stages for several years. When the Department of Housing and Urban Development turned down a grant application for a swimming pool from the Rappahannock Recreation Center (forerunner of the rec authority) four years ago, organizers tried to get together enough money to build an all purpose basketball court, figuring they needed about $5,000. Bond Set For Court Appearance (Continued from Page 1) In his explanation to Marx, Robertson mentioned that Douglas has elected to serve as his own legal counsel. “Is that going to be allowed?” Marx interjected. “The court has no choice,” Robertson said, noting that he would prefer that Douglas be represented by a lawyer and has appointed attorneys for him during legal proceedings over the past two years. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner assured Marx that as prosecutor, he would raise objections to any irrelevant questions posed by the defendant. Marx objected vehemently to being subjected to questioning from Douglas under any conditions. He reported that he’d been warned by deputies from the Rappahannock sheriff’s department that after his release on bond Douglas had threatened “he would finish the job.” The case has continued for two years with “interminable periods when nothing at all was going on” while Douglas’ sanity was questioned, Marx said. He told the judge that Douglas has harassed members of his family, moved onto his property, looted and burglarized his house and justified all his actions with “crazy excuses” that Marx was a communist. "I object to someone whose sanity is under question cross examining me,” Marx said,, noting that Douglas has written letters threatening the President of the United States. “It seems to me that what we’re doing (in allowing Douglas to serve as his own counsel) is just encouraging him” and providing the defendant with an opportunity for "emptying his vituperative against the authority structure.” Judge Robertson emphasized that a criminal has both the right to counsel and Meeting Changed The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors will hold its monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 8, since the regular meeting date, the first Monday of the month, is a national holiday.

He said he has made a substantial effort to encourage Douglas to use a lawyer, appointing several attorneys to represent him only to have them all discharged by the defendant. Douglas is not willing to allow a lawyer to represent him, the judge said, adding that he was “hamstrung and strapped” by Supreme Court rulings from doing anything about that refusal. Robertson assured Marx that if Douglas becomes disruptive to court proceedings, he will terminate his right to represent himself. The judge noted that Douglas must behave in court as an attorney would. Marx continued his objections, reporting that Douglas has repeatedly identified him as both Daniel Elsburg, accused in the theft several years ago of the Pentagon Papers, and John D. Marx, a writer. Douglas’ threats against his life as well as his taking of Marx’s belongings “shows the man is not in possession of his reason,” Marx said. Robertson replied that Douglas has been certified as competent to stand trial on tne oasis oi pnyciiiairic examinations conducted on two or three occasions. He noted that the legal test of insanity is “more circumscribed, more narrowly based” than what is understood in common parlance. 4 In a final objection, Marx questioned what he said was the low bond of S3,000 set last month by Judge Robertson for Douglas after the defendant had violated previous bond and threatened Marx’s life. The bond was set on the basis of testimony presented before the court at Douglas’ bond hearing, Robertson replied, concluding that the case provides “no easy answers.” f 1 Have You Seen f THE RAPPAHANNOCK CHORAL' \ A SOCIETY Tk« Rappahannock CKroal Society invites you to 1 join them in presenting their Christmas concert.

School Opening Goes Smoothly By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON W«PP«h«—»AWew9<«g Writer “Heart warming'* were the words new superintendent Robert Estabrook chose to describe the scene at Rappahannock County Elementary School on the first day of classes last Thursday. “I was particularly pleased with the organization," Estabrook said. Bus drivers had kindergartners at the 'front of the buses and released them first Teachers and aides were waiting at each discharge point to escort the children to the gym and then to their classes. "There was good anticipation that those little rascals would be apprehensive. It was heart warming to watch the aides and teachers hugging and reassuring the little ones...I saw a couple of youngsters with their lips puckered until the teachers and the aides reached them but I was only aware of one little fellow who cried,” the superintendent said. “Obviously, the elementary staff was prepared and organized very well. They added a nice human touch to the first day of school,” he noted. Assistant superintendent Gerald Lysik was equally impressed with the smooth operations and friendly atmosphere he noticed at the high school on opening day. “The kids were having quite a time getting back together again,” he said, but noted that after greeting old friends, students moved quietly and efficiently to home rooms. Lysik also found the allschool assembly held after homeroom "well done end delightful.” Principal Dennis Wingfield outlined rales and regulations and then in* traduced each class, seniors to incoming eighth graders, having the different groups in turn to applause. ‘Foni their peers. "It built a little esprit de corps," Lysik noted. Estabrook had special compliments fbr the drivers of the school bus fleet Before taking his post at the elementary school to greet returning kids, he stopped by the bus shop at 6:45, just as the drivers were arriving to pick up their vehicles for the morning run. “They rolled in with smiles oh their faces and were ready to go...Allie Huff and his drivers deserve a great deal of credit for bringing a positive attitude to the first contact the youngsters have with the schools." The superintendent also handed out extra praise to the cafeteria personnel. He reported that the day before school opened, several pieces of equipment in both school cafeterias were found to be inoperable. The new cafeteria coordinator, Judy Burke, who’s currently on the job only part-time, and her staff “really had to scramble,” Estabrook said. “They’re due a lot of credit for cooperating with the electricians and making eleventh hour adjustments” to get the lunch rooms running by Thursday, he added. According to attendance figures, enrollment for the first day was 445 at the high school and 585 at the elementary school, down from last year’s 449 and 648 at the two schools on opening day. Still, 1,030 youngsters are a lot of kids to get moving and into school routines after three months of vacation. "Usually, on the first day of school, the school board office is swamped with calls. We didn’t have a single call. Not one!” Estabrook reported.

I’m including some information from Virginia Tech on making jelly without sugar. Better health is the goal of many individuals who use artificial sweetner to reduce the number of calories in their food. But artificial sweetner should not be used in place of sugar in making homemade jams and jellies, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition, Jo Anne Barton. “Saccharin, the only artificial sweetener on the market, is not very well suited for use in food preservation,” she said. “You can’t- substitute saccharin for sugar as the saccharin will not react with pectin to form a gelled product.” Sugar is a preservative in the amounts used in jellies, jams, and preserves. That is why these products need minimal processing. It is possible to make a jelly-like product using unflavored gelatin or a special pectin-like product with an artificial sweetner. However, saccharin is not a preservative, so the jellylike products made with it need to be processed as fruit juices for storage at room temperature, or stored in the refrigerator or freezer. “It makes more sense to can or freeze the fruit or fruit juice and to make up small batches of the jam or jelly as needed,” said Miss Barton. “Then the artificial sweetner can be used because the product will not be stored for any amount of time.” Miss Barton is a faculty member in Tech’s College of Home Economics. r Park’s Draft Plan Set F or Local Hearings The environmental assessment for a general management plan and its summary for Shenandoah National Park has been released and distributed by the Park Service. The assessment contains several alternatives or choices for the natural and cultural resource management, visitor use and interpretation, and development of the park for the next decade. “Many ideas described and assessed were obtained from the public during preplanning activities started in 1978,” said Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. The environmental assessment or its summary is being distributed to more than 1,000 citizens, agencies, and officials on the park mailing list. If any interested persons do not receive a copy, they should contact the Park in Luray, Virginia. “While we have only a limited number of copies of the full, approximately 250-page, assessment,” Jacobsen offered, “there should be a sufficient number of copies of the 12-page Summary for all Menus RCHS Ac RCES September Ml Monday Holiday.

Copies of the draft plan are available locally at the clerk’s office and the Rappahannock County Library. Superintendent Jacobsen noted that "several levels of National Parks Service management and staff have worked hard for the last three years to outline the various possibilities for future management of Shenandoah. We hope that in this 2‘/i month review period, all interested citizens, agencies, and groups will give us the benefit of their thoughts, so that the next planning phase can be started this year, and the legacy of the park as a jlace of outdoor recreational opportunities in a protected natural environment may be continued.” Draft Horses At Belle Grovi Saturday, September 5, i: “Draft Horse Day” at Belle Grove Plantation in Middletown.

Mr. Tub answers: “Yes, I only weighed eight pounds when I was born”. Real estate value along with everything else, has also climbed upward from the beginning of time. The early settlers bought land for two cents an acre. Ever since then, real estate has provided the largest single means for individual accumulation of wealth in this country. Why real estate more than any other investment? Because of the principle of leverage, When something continually increases in value the more you own. the more you will profit as prices rise. In real estate, because of it’s excellent loan security, your profit can be magnified. For example, if you invest $25,000 as a down payment for a $100,000 building and this property later doubles in value.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,1981 Grants May Be Available For Sewer Project (Continued from Page 1) project was also awarded a $602,000 grant from EPA coordinated by the SWCB for construction of a waste water treatment plant. By 1979, the original proposal for a lagoon system to be located on land purchased from Clifford Miller readied the design phase. But construction costs had climbed to $800,000 over estimates, Wilson noted. With the' actual cost estimates near $1.4 million, the project was sent back to the drawing boards for restudy. Then this year, the state had $11 million in EPA funds for sewer treatment facilities resdnded by the federal government. As a result of the cut, the SWCB went back through its list of projects and opted to defer funding on those projects not expected to be ready to proceed with construction this year, according to Wilson. Since Sperryvilie’s facility was in the restudy stage and since the previously allocated $602,000 wasn’t going to be enough to fond the federal share of the project, that community’s sewage treatment plant was one of 11 community projects deferred by the SWCB, Wilson said. Although all previously allocated grant fonds have now been either rescinded or deferred, Wilson noted that Sperryville’s ranking as number 5.out of 181 applicants gave the community a good shot at securing EPA construction money once fonds are available. "The high ranking is based primarily on the health hazard that’s been recognized by the health department since 1975,” he said. The SWCB'S "tentative plan’’ is to propose funding for Sperryville for fiscal year 1963, the federal fiscal year which begins in October, 1982, Wilson reported. On that basis, $1,417 million has been earmarked for the project by the SWCB. In addition, he noted that Sperryville, as a small community with population under $3,500, qualifies for special set aside funds which can be used for sewer construction projects. Steve Hogye, director of the Northern Regional Office’s Division of Water Control Management, added that four percent of the state's money for sewer projects is set aside for funding facilities with innovative, alternative design, another area where Sperryville' may qualify. Considering this factor plus the community’s high ranking as a health hazard and its small population, “1 think the SWCB will look favorably on your proposal,” he told the WSA. The main problem in the past, he added, is that the Sperryville project has not been ready to proceed. Redesign Necessary The plans for Sperryville’s sewage treatment system still require some redesign in order to be acceptable to the SWCB, according to Wilson. He noted, however, that the SWCB wasn’t questioning either the integrity or capability of engineers from two associated firms, Deward Martin and Burchart-Horn, who have worked on the project to date. When estimates on the lagoon facility came in $800,000 over funds allocated for the project, consultants from Burchart-Horn were asked to see how to cut costs of that system,^ Wilson said. In addition, the engineers were requested to consider other alternatives, including both innovative technologies and conventional systems. They came up with a proposal for replacing the lagoon with a mount, essentially an extremely large septic leach field built up to give more soil area to compensate for the high water table in Sperryville’s flood plain. For collection, they planned on using individual septic tanks with effluent pumps to move the waste water through smaller two-to-four inch sewer lines to the mound. With the original lagoon system, monthly user fees were expected to run $27 per month. With the cheaper mound disposal method and reduction in sewer lines from eight inch to two or four inch pipe, the monthly charges dropped to about $16 per month, according to Wilson. mmemi mm Mound Dw^n The SWCB’s end Health Department’s objections centered primarily on problems involved with building a mount disposal system in a flood plain where high waters would prevent “satsifactory operation” 10 to 20 percent of the time by the engineers’ own estimates, Wilson told the the WSA. "It’s not practical and it’s contrary to sewer regulations if it’s not operational at high water times,” he said. Abo, the proposal didn’t discuss other means of treatment which could be used during that 10 to 20 percent period, he added. Wilson said hb response to the consultants included that major point plus two or three pages of comments related to more minor problems. They should have investigated alternatives further, particularly flow-conservation devices which could be installed in homes, he said. Wilton noted that Health Department officials felt that using the same septic pump collection system but with the effluent carried to a small package treatment plant instead of a mound deserved consideration, especially since user fees for the always operational package plant would only be S2.88 per month more than with the 80-90 percent operational mound. In addition, Wilson said, the consultant’s restudy didn’t address how the WSA would exercise authority and control over the system, leaving unanswered such questions as how individual septic tanks would be maintained and who would be responsible for pumping them out. Coats Questioned The SWCB also had’ questions over the costs cited in the study, specifically the estimates on the effluent pumps, according to Wilson. He noted that the consultants based their cost estimates on a system life of 40 years while a mound system can be expected to last only 20 years. Wilson added that he’d sent a letter to the consultants outlining all these problems in May and had yet to receive an answer although he ribted that the engineers had been in touch with the SWCB’s Richmond office. WSA member Bob Dennis responded that, as he understood Wilson’s explanation, “there are no tremendous problems with the engineering...no charges of totally bad planning.” He suggested that the WSA meet in Richmond with representatives from the SWCB, health department and consult anting firm to iron out difficulties in the sewer proposal before the SWCB’s meeting in late September. “We’re basically in pretty good shape...If we get our act together, we ought to be able to proceed.” In response to a question, Hogye noted that the SWCB has the power to require jurisdictions to build new facilities to meet water standards provided the water control board is able to offer grant funds. “I don’t really see us taking any enforcement action at this point in Sperryville...The local support is there, the local commitment is there so I think we can move forward on this project.” The WSA members and SWCB representatives agreed on September 10 as a tentative date for the Richmond meeting. “We need to give a strong signal to the water control board before its September meeting on whether we’re going to fish or cut bait,” Dennis said. “I hope we decide to fish.” Multiple Charges At Issue (Continued from Page 1) and adjacent to the buildings. Charging Martin with five separate counts of arson constitutes double jeopardy, the defense attorney said, citing the U.S. Constitution, state law and numerous legal precedents. The fact that the buildings DMV Offices Closed Mon. RICHMOND—All Division of Motor Vehicles offices and driver testing stations will be closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day. Otherwise, DMV offices are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, from 8:30 to 4:30, and Thursday, 10:00 to 6:00. Driver testing stations will be open according to their regular schedules except for Monday, September 7. and property are owned by different members of the Johnson family is irrelevant, "where there was but one single act," Albrecht argued. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner countered that a single act directed at different objects can be addressed in different indictments. The identity of the offense — burning four separate buildings and property both inside and outside the structures — not the act itself is the deciding factor in determining justification for multiple charges and indictments, according to Baumgardner. Judge Robertson noted that the separate indictments were written under a single statute. The anon statute refers to buildings in the singular, making it impossible to draft a single indictment under that statute for a fire involving multiple buildings, Baumgardner replied. Even if the judge believes that the guilty verdict against Martin may be overturned upon appeal to the State Supreme Court, for Robertson to reverse or set aside that verdict "would be a miscarriage of justice,” Baumgardner concluded. Robertson set final disposition of the case for September 9 at 9 .m. Coppage Reunion The annual reunion of the families of the late George and Florence Coppage will be held Sunday, September 13 beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Rappahannock Recreation Center near Washington.

Our local rescue squads need assistance immediately! Federal grants to upgrade emergency medical care in rural areas are ending. On October 1,1981, Virginia will receive a Federal block grant for its many social programs. There will be strong competition for portions of these funds. Already, the Virginia General Assembly has restricted funds in the Department of Highway Safety so that they no longer can be used to help emergency units. This money has been used primarily for ambulances and communications. Even Virginia’s Rescue Squad Assistance Fund of approximately $1 million for the entire State may fie eliminated. County and town financial support cannot provide enough dollars to maintain present equipment, buy supplies, fuel for ambulances, etc. Our rescue squad personnel are volunteers who constantly train to improve and to upgrade their skills for emergency medical care. Their instructors are also volunteers. Rescue squad members are ready to help us on a 24-hour schedule. One never knows when he or she may become a victim of an accident or sudden illness. What’s Closed On Labor Day Closed for the Labor Day holiday, Monday, September 7, will be Rappahannock public schools, county offices, state offices, post offices, both county banks and the Rappahannock Fanners Coop. Most other local businesses, including the Rappahannock News, will be open. Red Cross Meeting The Annual Meeting of the Fauquier Chapter, American Red Cross will be held Wednesday, September 9, 1981 at 4 p.m. in the parish hall, St. James Episcopal Church, Culpeper Street, Warrenton. All members from Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties (anyone haring donated ONE DOLLAR or more during 1981) are urged to attend and elect new Board Members. Refreshments will be served. These are the people who try their utmost to keep us alive and transport us to the nearest hospital. Our tax dollars are providing the funds for Virginia’s block grant from the Federal Government. We as citizens have an opportunity to call attention to the importance of our local rescue squads and to request continued State support of emergency medical services. We can help by sending an informal letter or a note on a postcard to Governor John Dalton, Commonwealth of Virginia, Governor’s Office, State Capitol, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Only in this way can Governor Dalton be made aware of our concern and , ■ appreciation for Virginia’* : volunteer rescue squads. We must write or send a telegram before September ends! DOROTHY SKELTON Brightwood, Va. Settle Reunion The families of the late Harry and Rosie Wharton Settle will have their reunion, Saturday, September 12, beginning at 11 a.m. at the Rappahannock Recreation Center near Washington. Family members and friends are urged to attend and bring a covered dish. Playhouse Needed To the editor: The Rappahannock Players would like to take this opportunity to thank Freeman Allan, Manager of The Mountain Magic Cinema and Theatre and William E. Lynn, Jr., Headmaster of The Wakefield School for their cooperation in permitting us to use their facilities. We anticipate that our October production of “Harvey” at the Country Playhouse, the Wakefield School, will be as big a success as were "H.M.S. Pinafore”, “Refugee” and “Peter Pan” which were staged at Mountain Magic Cinema and Theatre. Without the cooperation of these gentlemen we would not be able to provide theatrical entertainment to our friends and neighbors. We are seeking a permanent home for the Rappahannock Players and are actively looking for a suitable structure (barn, church, auditorium, etc.) which can be converted or renovated to a theatre, or a plot of land upon which a structure could be built. If anyone knows of such a place we would appreciate your contacting us. STEVE HOSTETTER, President Rappahannock Players, Inc. Castleton SS Law Changed Certain retired selfemployed people—mainly insurance agents and farmers—will benefit from a recent change in the law, according to Bruce Hundley, Social Security Manager in Culpeper. The change concerns the definition of income which counts for the annual earnings test, the measure used to decide if a person is retired. Under the old law, all of the income a self-employed person received in a year counted under the annual earnings test, even if part of it was actually earned before that year. Under the new law, income received in a year after the rear a self-employed person becomes entitled to social security retirement benefits if it is not earned after the nonth of entitlement will not Hundley said that since this provision is effective for taxable years ending December 1977, some self employed people will be due benefits that were withheld for 1978, 1979, or 1980. “We cannot identify the people affected by this change in the law,” Hundley said. Therefore, anyone who thinks he or she may be affected should get in touch with the Culpeper Social Security Office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The person should bring his or her selfemployment tax returns for 1978, 1979, or 1980 and any other information available. With this information, social security can decide if any back benefits are due. If benefits are due, they will be paid after the decision is made. This change in the law does not affect any tax liability. It applies only to earnings for the annual earnings test. Anyone having questions about this change in the law should contact the Culpeper Social Security Office. The telephone number is (703) 825-3500. Thoughts Expressed To the editor: I have read with interest the articles printed in the News on the abortion issue in which the writer has expressed his or her view on the subject. Hence the reason for expressing mine. First I want to be reasonable because I believe God our Creator is reasonable. He invites us in Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Also He beseeches us in Romans 12:1 to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Therefore, I conclude that God who created all things by his Son Christ Jesus is reasonable. occunu 1 am a garucu enthusiast and believe the seed which I plant has life in it at the moment of its planting. 1 venture to say that all gardeners and farmers believe that the seed they plant has life in its embryo and expect a high percentage of germination, and placing that seed in the right environment with the proper warmth, moisture, and elements from the soil will manifest itself in fruitfulness, in the fullness of life after its kind. “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear”, Mark 4:28. Therefore 1 must concede that when the female egg is fertilized by the male sperm life begins and that the fetus has in it all the elements to bring forth an individual human being, a living soul, whether it be male or female. Psalms 139:13-16 states “For thou has possessed my reins; thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb, 1 will praise thee, for 1 am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when 1 was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there were none of them.” Now in all due respect for our medical men and they need to be highly esteemed for their profession, but in my reading from different sources some refer to the time men went on all fours which infers to me that they accept and believe the theory of evolution. Now if I understand the theory of evolution rightly it teaches that man evolved from a one cell creature. Granted he did (which he didn’t) that one cell creature had to have life at its beginning. Lastly a would-be mother can have a natural abortion through a miscarriage, but God has never delegated to man the right to abort life no more than He has delegated to him the right of judging and vengeance. Romans 12:19 “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord”. This is a prerogative left only to the Creator. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right”, Genesis 18:25. REV. RAY CAMPBELL SR. Pastor Sperryville Assembly of God Gun Laws Support To the editor: The Attorney General’s Task Force on Violent Crime has recommended four common-sense steps to strengthen the nation’s gun law and make it more difficult for the criminal and the crazed to acquire handguns. The Task Force has urged the President to stop the importation of “Saturday Night Special” parts; require that handgun buyers be checked out to make sure they don’t have a criminal record before they pick up their handgun; put behind bars anyone who uses a gun in the commission of a crime; and have handgun owners report the theft or loss of their weapons. This gives President Reagan, himself nearly killed with a Saturday Night Special, an opportunity to lead this Congress in an effort to stop handgun violence in America. If passed, these handgun control measures would save lives and help make America safe once again. Write the President today and urge him to adopt the Task Force’s recommendations.
