Now we need subdivision approval.” The nine parcels, ranging in size from 25 to 75 acres, were laid out by an engineer with a drainfield site for each lot, according to Adamson. Planning commissioner Newbill Miller noted that the developers will have to upgrade the existing road which serves the property to comply with subdivision ordinance regulations. The regulations don’t require “a real fancy road but it is a substantial road,” Miller added. “The engineer laid out the road to comply (with the subdivision ordinance),” Adamson said. He acknowledged that the road does need ditching, widening and graveling, adding that it won t oe promoted as a major thoroughfare, just an ingress and egress from the nine lots. The 75-acre parcel on which the ski lodge sits was not included in the earlier rezoning application and so still retains its commercial designation. “We have no intent to further resubdivide that » 75-acre parcel," Adamson reported. Miller added that he thought it is in the best interests of the county to include the 75-acre commercial lot as part of the subdivision plat as it is currently in Rappski’s proposal. With little further discussion, the planners voted unanimously to recommend to the supervisors that the subdivision plat be approved, with the notation that the road serving the lots meet criteria in the subdivision ordinance. Alex Sharp, who will take over the new position of zoning administratorbuilding inspector in the middle of October, attended Wednesday’s planning commission session. “We’d be glad to have you at every meeting,” commented chairman A. Y. Stokes. “We certainly appreciate your coming.” Bloodmobile Reaches Goal Of 40 Units The Red Crpss Bloodmobile which visited Rappahannock County last week claimed its quota, the first time in several visits.

WSA To Explore Septic Tank Option For Sperryville By DAI’HINKHITOHINSOFN ltiipi»ahiinn<M'k Vm« Staff VI ritrr “If everything goes as best it might, we won’t have a sewer system going (in Sperryville) until January, 1985, so I think it’s a good idea to work on an interim solution,” said Bob Dennis, Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority member at last Monday's meeting. The WSA has a meeting in Richmond next Monday with representatives from the State Water Control Board, the engineering firm which More Rabid Raccoons Detected Two additional rabid raccoons were detected in the northern section of Fauquier County within the past two weeks. The latest report involved a raccoon that was killed near Middleburg. This brings the total rabies outbreak to 15 animals in Fauquier County, of which 11 involved raccoons. Loudoun County has reported 14 rabid raccoons this summer. No additional rabid animals have been reported from adjacent counties in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District. Rappahannock and Culpeper counties have each had 2 cases of confirmed rabies in animals since the outbreak began in early May. has developed the plans for the community’s sewage treatment plant and the State Health Department. At that session, the authority members hope to learn more about the availability of funds for a sewage treatment system which will clean up pollution in the Thornton River caused by the village’s malfunctioning septic fields, ranked the number five health hazard in Virginia. In addition, the WSA wants to determine what the position of the* health department and SWCB is on changes in design plans for the system intended to bring the cost of the sewage treatment facility down to where monthly user fees will be affordable to the people of Sperryville, a large majority of whom live on fixed incomes at or near the poverty level. Construction estimates on the original lagoon design came in a million dollars over available grant funds which led to delays while plans were being redesigned and the eventual withdrawal of a grant from Housing and Urban Development and the deferral of a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency. A portion of the original HUD grant was used, however, to install bathrooms in as many as 20 homes in the community served previously by outdoor privies. WSA member James Leake pointed out at Monday’s meeting that several of these home owners have applied to the health department for permits to install septic tanks. The homeowners have agreed to bear the expense of having the tanks pumped out when full but still local health officials have refused to allow installation, according to Leake. The denial of the permits for the tanks is reportedly based on the county’s zoning ordinance which does not allow septic tank installation in Sperryville’s flood plain, he added. WSA member Carson Johnson maintained that installation of the tanks with the owners responsible for having the wastes pumped out and disposed of would lessen pollution of the rive*. Currently, Leake noted, the homeowners have to have their outdoor privies pumped. “The people don’t .iderstand the difference and neither do I. If they can pump out the privies, why can’t they pump out the septic tanks?” The bathrooms were installed under the auspices of the WSA with HUD funds. Dennis said. “We ought to find a way to let them use those bathrooms,” he added. In addition, the sewage system currently proposed will utilize individual septic tanks as the first stage in the treatment process, noted Dennis. “It will be our responsibility at some point in the future to pump the solid wastes out of those (Continued on Pace 4) Opening Of Church School Raises -Zoning: Ouestion By DAPHNK HI TCHINSOIN Kn|»|»iiliami«M'k Vu« S|aff U rilir It looks like the county may soon be embroiled in another legal question, this time with Massonova Pentacostal Church over the operation of a school in the red brick church on Route 622. A neighboring landowner who noticed “feverish activity” at the church during the last two weeks of August reported to local government officials that a school had been opened in the building. Verbal complaints that the school lacked the necessary approvals from governmental agencies were followed up by a letter dated September 15. In the letter to commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Doris Donald, landowner on Aaron Mountain near where the church school is located, pointed out that Baumgardner had agreed in conversations on September 8 and 10 to “ascertain what permits were required (for the school) and what, if any, had been obtained." She also noted that the commonwealth's attorney had said he would send the zoning administrator a copy of the letter he planned to write Massanova pastor Rev. L. D. Savage but that the administrator had not yet received this. In correspondence dated September 14 and now on file in the zoning office, Baumgardner requested administrator Evan McNear to make an investigation of the matter. The commonwealth’s attorney also Legal Advice Given On AFD H\ DM’UNK HllTCHl'NSON Vh» Muff ^ ril#*r “The Agriculture and Forestal Districts Act is one of the more confusing and contradictory pieces of legislation to come out of the General Assembly in a number of years,” commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner maintained at last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission. Baumgardner attended the September 16 session to set the commissioners straight on the time limit for adding “tag-on” property to an ag district. But since his explanation conflicted with advice from Paxton Marshall, VPI extension specialist and recognized expert on the AFD Act, the planning commissioners decided to try for a third opinion, this one from the attorney general’s office. Members of the commision never have been quite sure about all the ramifications of creating an ag district and the confusion came to a head last month. At their August 19 public hearing on J. J. Dwyer's proposed district, Patricia Saltonstall requested that 450 acres of her Points of View Farm be added to Dwyer’s (Continued on Page 4) Sharp To Start Zoning: Job Next Month 1 ALEXANDER SHARP The county’s recently hired zoning administrator and building official Alexander Sharp has begun to familiarize himself with the new job, attending the planning commission meeting last week, but will not officially assume his position until mid-October. “1 haven’t had all the responsibilities explained yet," Sharp acknowledged in an interview on Monday. He explained that he is delaying the start of his duties until the apple harvest is completed at one orchard he rents near Sperryville and a second he operates in partnership at Whippoorwill Farm with his father, Washington apple grower George Sharp. A graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in economics, Sharp has the equivalent of a minor in environmental science. As part of a land use management course he took at UVa, he undertook an independent study on the effect of industry in rural areas. Sharp said his interest in land use planning focused on Rappahannock County but his instructor felt the topic should be of a more general nature. He noted, however, that much of his research centered on Rappahannock, including work with the planning district commission and Rosser Payne, land use planner expert from Fauquier associated with the University. Sharp acknowledged that he is not yet very familiar with the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances but said he planned to attend all meetings of the Rappahannock planning commissioners who are now involved with review and revision of local land use regulations. As to his duties as building official. Sharp said he didn’t think building code requirements would be too difficult to learn. He added that a series of slimmer jobs have given him some handson experience in construction.—D.H. included a copy of the letter he wrote Savage, dated September 2. In the letter, Baumgardner noted that he had received inquiries from neighboring land owners on Aaron Mountain regarding a church day school being operated at the Massanova Church. He suggested that Rev. Savage contact the zoning administrator “and request an opinion in writing as to whether it is necessary for you to procure a special use permit or other permit in order to operate this facility." He also proposed that the Massanova pastor check with his attorney to determine whether other permits are required from the Commonwealth of Virginia. In conclusion, Baumgardner emphasized that he did not know whether a day school was actually being operated at the church. He also stressed that he was not expressing an opinion as to whether the permit “is in fact necessary.” In a response dated September 16, Rev. Savage acknowledged that the church is indeed operating a school on its premises. “We believe that the Bible commands that parents give their children a Christcentered education and that this education is one of the principal functions of the Church...Since we are already functioning as a church in this zoning district, to seek a special use permit would amount to saying that education is not the function of the church but it is a separate business that we as a church have chosen to engage in." In conclusion. Savage maintained that “because our church school is not a separate entity from the church we cannot in all conscience apply for a special use permit.” He also noted that his lawyer had advised that the church doesn’t need a special state permit to operate, citing a U. S. Supreme Court case, St. Martin Evangelical Lutheran Church and Nc thwestern Lutheran Academy vs. South Dakota. According to the commonwealth’s attorney, the zoning on the church property is agricultural. Under the provisions of the Rappahannock zoning ordinance, a special use permit is required to operate a school in an agricultural zone. Asked what action, if any.

While these advantages may involve a slight compromise in quality, a Virginia Tech Extension specialist reports that storage and feeding losses can be reduced by proper planning and management. “Outside storage is common for large, round bales since they will shed water,” says Easley S. Smith. “But research has shown that loss from this storage method is often one to 11 percent higher than conventional square bales stored inside.” Observations in Virginia have shown the greatest losses in outside storage occur when the hay is in contact with the ground. Rapid deterioration also occurs when large round bales are covered with plastic and not properly vented for air movement between the cover and the hay. The specialist says a 1980 study was conducted by Virginia Tech in an effort to reduce these losses. Large round bales were stacked with four bales on the bottom (two wide and two long) and two on top. The bottom bales were placed on timbers, poles or pallets to break contact with the ground. Plastic covers, weighted around the edges, were placed over the stacks with the ends of the stacks left open for air movement. “Early observations of hay stored in this way showed good air movement around the stack, protection of the hay from rain and snow, and no hay-to-ground contact,” Mr. Smith reported. “This storage method offers the potential for reducing storage losses and costs, preserving hay quality and providing more flexibility in the selection of storage sites.” The Tech agricultural engineer reports that further study is planned to determine the type and amount of cover and weights needed and the best way to store bales off the ground. Costs involved and storage losses will then be compared to outside storage of single bales and inside storage. Deterioration of large bales during outside storage is influenced by how well the bale is formed, the moisture content of the hay when baled, type and quality of the hay when stored, selection of the storage site, and weather conditions during the storage period. Recommendations for minimum storage losses include: —Baling hay at a low moisture content, between 20-25 percent. —Round, uniform well-formed bales are important; a uniform windrow and experienced operator are helpful. —Select a well-drained site for outside storage that is easy to get to during winter weather and the early spring feeding season. —Place bales end-to-end, vertical to the up-and-down slope of the land with one or two foot spacing between rows of bales. Rappahannock New* Pholo/Jim 1'olfr ROUND BALE HAY HARVESTING has grown in popularity among Rappahannock fanners in recent years. Bales like these are a frequent sight in the area.

Raccoon Imports Halted ■' The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has decided to stop issuing permits for the importation of raccoons into the Commonwealth from other states. The decision was based on conclusive evidence that imported raccoons from a number of southern states carried rabies and other diseases into Virginia. Dr. Victor Nettles of the Southeast Cpoperative Wildlife Disease Study Group in Athens. Georgia and Dr. Harry Nottebart from the Virginia State Department of Health expressed concern about the importation practice. During a presentation to the Commission during their meeting August 28, 1981. Dr. Nettles spoke of the problems that have surfaced in the translocation of raccoons. He emphasized that the parvovirus carried by raccoons could be transmitted to other wildlife and dogs and that the practice has a poor success ratio in addition to the disease problem. -Market ReportsMARSHALL, Sept. 15—Barrows & gilts, US 1-3, 49.2551.50.

Mini-Pier At Orange Lake The first of what will become a series of experimental mini-piers opened for public use at Lake Orange near Orange, Virginia on Wednesday. September 2. The pier, which is designed to be accessible to the handicapped, will enable an evaluation of what piers have to offer fishermen at Commission owned lakes. The mini-pier has a concrete deck 24 feet long by 12 feet wide, all of which is surrounded by a galvanized steel guard railing. A walkway. 24 feet by 4 feet, leads from the shoreline to the pier itself. A fee of fifty cents per fisherman will be charged for one-half-day use of the pier. The first period will begin when the pier opens and will terminate at 2 p.m. The second period begins at 2 p.m. and concludes at the time the pier closes for the day. No more than 10 persons will be allowed to fish from the pier at any one time. Permits for use of the pier, which is for fishing only, are available from the Concession Stand at a cost of 50 cents. Brush attractors have been installed under and around the pier to attract fish and if this pier proves to be popular with the fishermen, additional sections will be added onto the existing structure, thereby extending the piers farther out into the lake. +++ + According to the October issue of Families, automobile accidents are a leading cause of death in children under 14—yet only 7 percent of American children wear seat belts or ride in protective car seats.

Tim Breedlove, a specialist in mental retardation who works out of the Warrenton clinic, will be in the county on Thursdays. A graduate of Concordia College in Fort Wayne, Ind. Breedlove is currently completing studies for his master’s degree in severe multiple handicaps at George Mason University. Before coming to this area, he worked in a residential program for emotionally disturbed adolescents at the Northern Virginia Training Center. His primary duties at the Rappahannock Clinic will be handling referrals for mentally retarded adults and children. As a start, Breedlove hopes to establish a support group made up of parents of handicapped children and persons who advocate for the handicapped. He also plans to set up parent training groups where parents can learn how to manage behavioral problems and how to teach their children to care for themselves, emphasizing grooming, dressing, money management and other selfhelp skills. For adults, he will try to arrange job training, including transportation to FORE’s sheltered workshop in Remington. Breedlove also intends to schedule classes for Rappahannock clients, particularly those already out of the public school system, at the Fauquier Family Guidance Center to learn cooking, cleaning and other — Rappahannock New* Photo /Daphne Hutchinson TIM BREEDLOVE household skills as well as managing personal finances, shopping, how to get a perscription filled — "whatever the need is for the person to live as independently as possible,” he explained. In addition, he wants to organize a social group for the mentally retarded. “Depending on the severity of the handicap, for adults our aim is to increase their level of independence to where they can stay in the community and live com* .fortable, productive and happy lives," Breedlove said. Some segments of the community are very open in acknowledging that Rappahannock’s mentally retarded adults and children need attention while others feel that this handicapped population is already getting too much, Breedlove said. “It’s not my intention to interfere in any family’s life style. That’s a fear I’ve encountered in rural areas particularly. But if people can realize that there’s something to be gained for the whole family as well as for a retarded son or daughter (from the mental health clinic), we can teach them how to teach their children to care for themselves.” Breedlove will take referrals from other agencies such as the welfare and health departments, from schools and from individuals. Those interested may schedule an appointment through the Rappahannock Mental Health Ginic located in the Clopton House in Washington, telephone 6753329. As of now, Breedlove will be at the clinic Thursdays but if one day per week proves insufficient to handle the demand it is possible he may be able to schedule additional time in the county. “If we find a large enough need, we can even try to develop a special program here,” he concluded.

Targeted for special attention are males between the ages of 20 to SO and minorities. High blood pressure screening is an ongoing activity for persons who attend health department clinics. This additional effort to detect people who are unaware that they have high blood pressure will focus on people, at higher risk, who seldom receive medical examinations. A project grant, awarded by the State Department of Health, provides funding for the part-time services of a nurse; however, the program will also rely on the regular health department staff and volunteers.

The department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time. Applet Virginia's apples are of excellent quality this year. Prices for tray packed apples are expected to remain firm. Prices for bagged apples are expected to remain stable through the end of October. Demand for processing apples has been active because of smaller stocks. Regionally. demand is stronger for processing apples than in 1980. Virginia’s '81 production of apples is estimated at 420 million pounds—unchanged from last year's production figures, but 11 percent below 1979. U.S. apple production is estimated at 8.1 billion pounds - an 8 percent reduction from 1980. Prices: 12-3 lb.

Ham & Che Country Ha Roast Beef Corned Bee Jane McClary To Autograph New Novel By LOYAL McMILLIN Drmorrat SprrUI Writer Local author Jane Mcllvaine McClary will be the guest of honor at an autograph party to be held Saturday, October 3, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the home of Mary and James Jamieson near Sperryville. Copies of McClary’s new book, “Maggie Royal,” will be available for purchase with proceeds going to benefit the Rappahannock County Library. For directions to the Jamieson’s home, call 987-8585. Maggie Royal was begun at Ossabaw Island, Ga. in 1976 and ■ completed in Middleburg in 1980 by author Jane Mcllvaine McClary, who admits to its being a rather complex book. Its 400-plus pages span two decades of tumultous American history, beginning with the depression years of the 30s, and on through the war years of the 40s. Its cast of characters varies from venal southern politicians to English nobility, and has one genuine villain who could easily have passed for Simon Legree a hundred years earlier. The great and the mighty pass lightly through the script, which touches as readily on history as it does on romance, and the scene shifts from Stark Island off the coast of Georgia, to an England on the brink of war, then on through the war years. But it does this naturally as it follows young people who became of age just in time to become involved in that tremendous struggle. As with most novels nowadays, there is sex and violence in the book. Sex scenes are frank and explicit, but done with an almost clinical detachment by the author. There is raunchy language and stable talk in places, but used not for the shock value but rather as an aid to picturing the character of the person involved. The book gets off to a slow start until you get the introductory first chapter out of the way. From then on the action moves the reader right along. Best descriptive passages are the sometimes lyrical description of Stark Island and its wildlife. In preparation, author McClary spent five or six summers visiting the coastal islands on boat trips with her husband. One of the best scenes is the description of the Chatfield Hunt, a story that won’t let the reader quit until he gets to the end. In spite of its complexity and the large number of characters, the author skillfully delineates the development of the two main characters, Maggie Royal and Jared Stark through the everchanging scene and through those turbulent years of everchanging values. In Jared we see the scion of an old southern family with a curse on the blood. In Maggie Royal, we watch a young girl grow and KK 5**«r develop under the influence of a Gramma who is the old southern society at its noblest. As a girl she develops into a skilled horsewoman, with a warm, compassionate nature and love for all living things. As she grows into womanhood we watch her struggle to uphold the values she learned at her Gramma’s knee while haunted by a love she can never quite resolve. This is McClary's 14th book and her second major novel, following by nine years the publication of her best seller. A Portion For Foxes. Many local readers are avidly looking for characters they can recognize in spite of the disclaimer published in the front of the book that all characters are fictional.

She was told, however, that the time limit for “tagging on” had expired. Rather than leave Saltonstall's acres out of the application. the commissioners decided instead to begin all over again with the approval process for Dwyer’s requested district (which already includes tag-ons from Phil Irwin and Linda Dietel). The planning commissioners stuck with that decision on Wednesday even after learning from Baumgardner that the supervisors can add agriculturally significant adjacent land to a district at the public hearing they hold as the final step in establishing an ag district. Supervisor* Can Add On Reading from the Virginia Code section that outlines the process for setting up a district. Baumgardner reported that the board of supervisors “may adopt as an ordinance the property or any modification of the (AFD) application it deems appropriate. including the inclusion, to the extent feasible. of adjacent significant farming and forest lands." “That’s a direct contradiction” of the opinion given the planning commission by VPI’s ag district expert, Paxton Marshall, responded A.Y. Stokes, chairman of the planning commission. “It makes me feel like a fool!" commissioner Newbill Miller added. "Conceptually. I wonder why it was done. Why have an advisory committee...if the supervisors can add on land at their own initiative?” Baumgardner questioned. He emphasized, however, that the wording of the code is clear; the supervisors may elect to include adjacent land they feel is agriculturally significant. commissioner werner Krebser reported, however, that VP1 expert Paxton Marshall said the language in the code does not reflect the legislature's intent in passing the AFD enabling act. Miller noted that Dwyer’s AFD application was tabled at the August public hearing and is being refiled now to give Saltonstall a chance to join. With this new ruling, he asked, can the original application be forwarded to the supervisors with Saltonstall applying for inclusion at that board’s public hearing? "I don't see why not.” Baumgardner replied. By consensus, however, the planning commissioners agreed to have Dwyer and all other landowners involved refile their ag district applications and begin the lengthy approval process all over again. On a motion from commissioner Charles K. Estes, the commissioners also directed Baumgardner to request an attorney general's opinion on the time limits for adding on to a district. Publicity Requested At the August meeting, the commissioners requested the Rappahannock News to publicize procedures and time restrictions involved in an AFD application. In essence an agricultural and forestal district is a voluntary zoning strategy aimed at preserving farm land. A landowner or group of landowners with a minimum of 500 contiguous acres first apply voluntarily to the governing body or its agent for approval of an ag district. The proposed district may include other noncontiguous parcels within a mile radius of the 500-acre core but the non-contiguous land can be added only after the 500-acre minimum is reached. Once a district is approved (for between four and eight years at the discretion of the governing body), qualifying property within that district becomes eligible for use value taxation, whether or not the locality has passed ji general use value ordinance. In addition, fanning and forestry operations within the district are protected from nuisance ordinances. Also, restrictions are placed on exercise of eminent domain powers by local, state or federal agencies and on expenditure of public funds for non-farming purposes. During the term of the district, if property within the district receiving land use tax benefits is changed to a nonqualifying use. a roll-back tax becomes due. (Roll back tax is the difference between the fair market value tax and the use value tax plus interest.) In Rappahannock, the local governing body has opted to follow Fauquier’s example and also has placed restrictions on the division of land within an approved ag district. 180 Day* To Act Enabling legislation sets a time frame of 180 days for consideration of an ag district application. After receiving a request for creation of a district, the board of supervisors or its agent forwards the application to the planning commission which in turn sends the application on to the special agricultural district advisory committee, all within 30 days from the time the application was filed. ine planning commission also must publish a legal notice, announcing that a district application has been received. An imaginary clock begins a count down the moment an application for an ag district is filed. Adjoining landowners and those within a mile radius of the proposed 500-acre district’s boundary have 30 days from the filing date—not from the date that the announcement of an ag district application appears in the paper—to “tag on” to the district. Within a second 30-day time period, the advisory committee must make a recommendation to the planning commission for approval or denial of the proposed district plus any tag-on parcels. The committee must base its findings on the agricultural or forestal significance of the land, history in farming or forestry operation and other criteria set by the General Assembly in AFD enabling legislation. The planning commission now has 30 days of its own to hold an advertised public hearing and recommend action to the board of supervisors. Within 90 days from the time the application was first filed, it must be back before the supervisors with the planning commissions recommendation to be advertised for a second public hearing. The supervisors then have another 90 days to act on the application. According to the commonwealth’s attorney’s interpretation of the Virginia Code section dealing with ag districts, the supervisors may at this point add JACENT land with agricultural or forestal significance to the district upon application by the owners of the property. Noncontiguous land may not be added by the board, however. In addition, the supervisors may elect to eliminate any property from the district which they feel does not have agricultural or forestal significance. Newbill Miller noted at Wednesday’s meeting that landowners in the ag districts approved to date must apply for use value taxation with the commissioner of revenue by November 1 in order to receive tax benefits next year. The same time limit applies to landowners outside a district who want to apply for use value taxation. Letter To The Editor Buck Passing To the editor: The efforts of the residents of the Aaron Mountain community to preserve the peace and quiet we have spent our hard-earned money to get and enjoy have been well-documented and so far thousands of dollars have been spent in litigation to get what we thought were our rights. This has resulted with our being left with an ugly monstrosity in our midst which so far has contributed to the impossibility to sell property. There are several who for various reasons need to sell but so far the realtors have been unable to find buyers. The realtors are well aware of the situation. Now we are confronted with the matter of a private school in the church owned by the same group. The pastor claims he isn’t required to obtain a permit when it has been required of others in similar cases. This is a zoning matter and has nothing to do with religion, the propagation nor free exercise thereof. The Zoning Office says a permit is needed. The BZA claims that the ordinance is to be enforced by the Commonwalth Attorney, as stated in the Rappahannock News last week. The Commonwealth Attorney has said that the Zoning Administrator is responsible for these matters. This is called “passing the buck”. I believe. This is a matter for concern for several bodies, including the School Board, the Health Department, and the Zoning Office. Are the elected or appointed officials of the county going to sit on their hands again and let matters come to the point where residents will have to spend money in litigation in an effort to get what they have a right to expect from these officials? We certainly hope not. AN AREA RESIDENT (name withheld by request) Correction In the article on the board of zoning appeals September 10 meeting printed in the September 17 edition of the Rappahannock News, Joyce Settle was incorrectly identified as Doris Settle. In addition, the salary she was paid for house and garden work 27 years ago was SI per day, not SI per hour.

Our Rappahannock Heritage Bees Need Proper Pre-Winter Management (Edltor’i Note: Trade and brand names are used only for the purpose of information and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service does not guarantee nor warrant the standard of the product, nor does it imply approval of the product to the exclusion of others which may also be suitable.) Good fall and winter management is necessary if bee colonies in Virginia are to survive until spring. Each winter, five to 20 percent of the colonies in the state die. According to Richard D. Fell, apiculturist at Virginia Tech, most of these losses could be prevented if more care were taken with prewinter management. "Most of the problems associated with the winter season can be avoided if beekeepers work to satisfy, four basic management principles,” Fell said. These include insuring that each colony has a good queen, enough food reserves, remains free of disease, and that protection is provided. Also, beekeepers should only attempt to overwinter strong colonies. Weak colonies should be combined (colonies with less than one or one and a half full depth hive bodies of bees). Septic Tank (Continued from Pfcge 1) septic holding tanks. (Approval of septic tanks as an interim solution) will give us an opportunity to learn what we’re doing.” It will also save the WSA the expense of installing the holding tanks at a later date. Johnson added. The WSA members agreed to ask commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, the county’s new zoning administrator, local sanitarian Jack Lockhart and the regional head of the health department to attend the next Water and Sewer Authority meeting on October 19 to discuss the possibility of allowing septic tank installation at those homes which have recently installed bathrooms with HUD funds. Johnson suggested that residents of the Sperryville community also be invited to the October session and volunteered to contact the families involved. “I think permits for holding tanks have been issued to some individuals. Why not all?” concluded Leake. “Each overwintering colony should be headed by a young, productive queen,” noted Fell. “She must be capable of laying large numbers of eggs in the spring if a colony is to build up strength before the major nectar flows.” Colonies with poor queens should be requeened or united with good colonies, depending on colony condition and time of year. For best results, hives should be located in an eara that has good protection from prevailing winds, good air drainage and a good source of clean water. Hives should also be raised off the ground (use hive stands) and face to the southeast or south. Fell pointed out that all hives should be provided with a reduced lower entrance, spme type of upper entrance and a layer of moisture absorbent material. "The reduced lower entrance will decrease excess air circulation and prevent the entrance of mice,” he said. "The upper entrance will release moisture-laden air and act as an emergency entrance if the lower one becomes clogged.” Moisture-absorbing material, such as an insulite board or newspaper, is placed over the inner cover to hold moisture until it can evaporate. Packing of colonies, as practiced in the northern states, is not necessary in Virginia. According to Fell, colonies in Virginia should go into winter with a minimum of 50-60 pounds of honey and three to five frames of pollen. Colonies lacking in honey reserves should be fed a 2:1 sugar syrup (two parts sugarone part water) in the fall and early winter. Emergency feeding should not be started until after the fall nectar flows are finished. Colonies lacking in pollen reserves should be fed pollen, a substitute or a supplement in the early spring. "Ideally colonies should be wintered in at least two hive bodies, either two full depth hive bodies (nine and fiveeighths inch) or a full depth and a medium depth (six and five-eighths inch) super,” recommended Fell. “If the upper super is full of honey, the colony is probably in good shape in regard to food reserves.” All overwintering colonies should be free of disease. Colonies should be examined for disease before the final winter preparations are made. However, inspection will not indicate whether the bees are infected with Nosema. “Nosema is a very common disease of adult bees and can cause serious problems with colony survival,” Fell explained. “Aproximately 70 percent of the colonies in Virginia have Nosema." The disease may be prevented by fall feeding sugar syrup containing Fumidil-B. The recommended rate is two gallons of medicated syrup per colony (each containing one teaspoon of Fumidil-B). For more information on beekeeping, contact your local Extension office.

Voices Of Inspiration Sing Inspired Gospel By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rapiuhannork Kr». Huff Writer "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing." Psalm 100 Years ago, four little girls took that Biblical admonition to heart. Instead of playing dolls or cowboys and Indians at their Huntly home, they played church, casting their brother in the role of preacher while they took the part of the choir. As adults, the four sisters are still making that Joyful noise unto the Lord. Mary Russell Frye, Kesley and Helena Russell and Lillian Russell Taylor with their cousins Gloria Myers, Gloria Jackson, Dorothy Brooks and Darlene Jett Green are the Voices of Inspiration, a gospel group that has brought joy to the listeners as well as praise to God. Every first Sunday, they return to Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill, the church that most of the women attended as youngsters. Blended in perfect harmony, their voices soar, glide and dip through gospel favorites, ringing the rafters and lifting the hearts of the congregation. The sounds they make are good for the soul. It's not necessary to be a Baptist to be touched by their music. The sentiments of Christian faith, love, hope and charity are the same expressed in hymns sung every Sunday in Speech and Learning Center Opens For Fall Session The Rappahannock Speech and Learning Center, sponsored by Sursum Corda School in Washington will open for the fall session Monday. October 19. It will be open on Monday and Thursday evenings from 5:00-9:00 p.m. Sid and Margaret Gottlieb of Boston are working at the Center as professional therapists and teachers. Mr. Gottlieb has a Masters in Speech Pathology and holds the Certificate of Clinical Competance from the American Speech and Hearing Association and is licensed to practice both in the schools and privately in the states of Virginia and Mt. Salem Revival Revival services will begin at Mt. Salem Baptist Church near Washington on Sunday, September 27-30 at 7:30 p.m. The pastor, the Rev. Bobby Rooper of Culpeper, will be speaking. Special singing has been scheduled for each evening. On Sunday the music will be NAACP Meeting The Rappahannock NAACP regular meeting will be cancelled until Friday, October 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the Washington Community Center. All members are urged to attend and bring one guest. Homecoming And Revival Homecoming at the Five Forks Regular Baptist Church near Sperryville will be held Sunday, September 27 with the Rev. Earl McGufTey as guest speaker. Following dinner on the grounds, the afternoon speaker will be David Travis of Winchester. A revival will continue through the week with services nightly at 7:30 p.m., including October 3. The Rev. Hoover Heflin is pastor of the Five Forks Church. a score or more of country churches scattered across Rappahannock. But the beauty of the singing comes from more than perfect pitch, dulcet tones and melodious voices. Their personal religious faith and convictions echo from every word of the old hymns. The Voices of Inspiration believe absolutely in what they sing and that belief carries to the ears and hearts of their listeners. The group was formed just five years ago when the young women won a Sunday School talent program. Since then, they have carried their gospel message to audiences all over Virginia and into D.C., Maryland and even as far as Pennsylvania. Aside from singing at a wedding every now and then, the Voices of Inspiration do only gospel music. They’ve had no special vocal training and seldom get together for practice. “Not near as often as we’d like,” Helena noted. They see their talents as a gift from God and use their voices for His glory. Their original accompanist, Gloria Jackson, still a member of the Inspirations, recently gave up her seat at the piano bench to Carl Brooks. “He’s sort of taken over the group,” Lillian Taylor added. Brooks handles all the bookings for the Voices of Inspiration, scheduling them regularly at church services and special concerts both in and out of the county. California. He is experienced in many fields of speech therapy, including stuttering, rehabilitating the speech of stroke victims, articulation disorders, rehabilitating cleft palate speech problems, and voice and language disorders. His wife. Margaret, is a learning disabilities teacher, specializing in language, reading, and math tutoring. She has been trained at the Kingsbury Center in Washington. D. C.

He has joined Macedonia Church and keeps his seat at the piano when the men’s chorus, women’s trio, senior choir or young adult choir stand up to sing. “All those groups and just one piano player,” Brooks sighed. “Plus one in Front Royal too. It’s getting to be more than I can handle,” he joked. "But he was with us first!” Gloria Myers noted quickly, indicating that if Brooks drops any of his duties as accompanist, it won’t be the Voices of Inspiration. The Voices can outsing or at least match the gospel groups whose music floats out over the airways on Sunday morning but so far they haven’t recorded any of their numbers. “We’ve been asked a few times but we've never done anything about it,” Helena said. “If we knew somebody who knew somebody in the record business...We just love singing!” Art Show In Front Royal Artists are invited to participate in the 11th annual Festival of the Leaves Landmark Art Show, sponsored by the Warren Heritage Society, Front Royal.

Posters On Road Signs Forbidden Political campaign workers and others are reminded by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation that it is illegal to attach campaign posters to highway signs and posts. In the months and weeks preceding election day, overzealous campaign workers often attach posters and stickers to stop signs, route markers, direction signs, and highway sign posts. Not only is it against the law to do that, but it is illegal to attach stickers or posters to any post, wall, tree, building, or other object within the state highway right-of-way limits. The Code of Virginia (Section 33.1-373) makes it a misdemeanor to do so. In addition to the possible safety hazards from blocking out part of the sign’s message, cleaning off the signs and picking up the posters generally has to be done not by campaign workers but by state road rrews.

Now all the excitement accumulated elsewhere is being transmitted to theatre goers in tne Kappahannock region. The excitement of anticipation here, too, is beginning to mount according to a spokesman for the Rappahannock Players. “Harvey” will have a fivenight stand at the Country Playhouse at Wakefield School with performances on October 2, 3. 9, 10 and 11. The school is located on Route 522 north of Flint Hill.

No pets, please 800-624 057741 Hoadley Wins Top NWS Award For his ‘‘unselfish contributions to increase the safety of citizens when severe weather threatens,” David Hoadley was presented recently with the National Weather Service’s highest volunteer honor, the Public Service Award. Hoadley is a dedicated storm chaser. In a mutual agreement with his wife Nancy, daughter of Mrs. Sarah Latham of Amissivlle, he takes his vacations alone each year and drives to an area which, according to weather patterns he has charted, is due for turbulent, weather—usually the midwest—for storm chasing. At his own expense, he takes pictures which he shares with meteorological services and organizations. In addition, he prints large photographs of the storm area and gives copies to persons whose home or property was affected. Hoadley is also publisher of a small newsletter, “Storm Track, which he writes and distributes. “The information he compiles is helpful and often enlightening to meteorologists who work fulltime on tornadoes,” reported Charna Lester of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In presenting the Public Service Award, Richard Hallgren, director of the National Weather Service, noted that Hoadley has increased warning lead time during tornado threats by supplying valuable visual material and assisting the Weather Service in developing a commentary and glossary to improve spotter training. Some of Hoadley's material has been incorporated into “Tornado, A Spotter's Guide,” a new publication which is expected to greatly increase the quality of observations of National Weather Service trained severe storm spotters. Weather has been Hoadley's passion for 24 years of storm chasing. When he's not following on the trail of twisters, he’s a program planner and budget analyst for the Environmental Protection Agency, residing in Falls Church with Nancy and their 7 year old daughter, Sarah Kerns. In his spare time between storms, he draws Little Fox cartoons for the Rappahannock News. DAVID K. HOADLEY Hoadley has become well known in weather circles over the past few years. In addition to publishing his bimonthly newsletter, he’s appeared on the program of the Tenth Conference on Severe Local Storms held in Omaha, Nebraska, to show and discuss his slides. He's had photographs published in the National Geographic book. “Powers of Nature,” and in a German magazine, "Geo.” More recently, he had a lengthy article, “A Tropical Storm David Tornado in Fairfax County,” printed in the April, 1981, issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, a publication usually reserved for professional meteorologists. “Mr. Hoadley is not a meteorologist — legally however, he is fantastic at judging tornado activity prior to a hit.” said Lester. His expertise has been recognized locally. With scores of meteorologists available, the Weather Service called Hoadley to assess a tornado that touched down recently in Chantilly. But its the thrill of the storm, not the thrill of public recognition, that provides the push toward his unusual hobby. "It’s the overall majesty of these great storms, which can grow to ten miles high in less than an hour and bring darkness in the middle of a sunny afternoon; that can produce grapefruit size hail, ball lightning and hurricane force straight winds as well as tornadoes up to a half mile wide, lifting 70 ton railway cars from their tracks.” Hoadley said. Bookshop Offers Seminar An informal seminar on WOMEN AND FICTION will be offered at Royal Oak Bookshop in Front Royal. Beginning Monday, October 5, at 7:30 P.M., the reading and discussion group will meet for two hours on six consecutive Mondays.

The Bucs started off on the right foot as Dallas Robinson returned the opening kick-off 67 yards. In a sure contender for most embarrassing moment, Robinson dropped the ball on the ten yard line, thinking he had crossed the goal line. In an alert play, Brett Anderson picked up the ball on the three and carried it in for a touchdown to put the Buccaneers ahead, 6-0. On the next play from the line of scrimmage, David Grayson intercepted a Rebels’ pass that set up a three yard touchdown run by Bryant Yates. Yates also scored the extra point to set Save Time, Money, Gas With Teleservice People living in the Culpeper area can save time, money, and gasoline by using “Teleservice" when they have business with social security.

The next score came in the third quarter when Robinson carried an interception 55 yards for a touchdown. Yates again added an extra point to widen the gap to 22-0. On the Rebels’ possession following the TD, Gary Jackson blocked a punt that was picked up and carried six yards across the goal line by Devin Moore. In the final period, Richie Adams’ interception set up a 28 yard run by Gary Jackson to close the game at 34-0.

This is a technique that was developed in the last few years that does have some definite merit. It consists of an incision about one half inch in length that is used as a window to correct the underlying boney problems. A special type of instrument is inserted into the wound and the changes are produced through this window. There are a fair number of indications for this type of surgery. It is important to understand that there is a significant portion of problems that cannot be repaired in this manner, because the structures have to be visualized for change. If the mini-procedure can be performed there is usually less discomfort, less swelling, and the patient is able to return to shoes more quickly.

Bikers Stop Here On Their Way West By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rap|uh>nn<>rk !Nrw« Staff Writer Cool, crisp autumn weather blew in to Rappahannock a few weeks early this year, just in time to give Bambi and Jon Dinsmore optimal conditions for the trek over the mountains to Luray on their ten-speed bicycles. The Dinsmores were in the county visiting Capt. and Mrs. Howard Holschuh of Castleton prior to pedaling across country on a 3,000 mile trip to California. This won’t be their first such expedition. In 1977, the couple biked from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine, in just two and a half months. “We had such a good time that we wanted to try it again," Jon said. “Everyone we met was so pleasant and friendly.” “We felt funny when we weren’t on bikes!” Bambi joked. This time they’ll take a route across the middle and lower half of the U.S. so they can see the central and southern states they missed the first time across. The pair will start off pedaling about 35 miles per day and work up to 50 miles as Bambi’s knees become stronger. They anticipate that this second expedition will aj$o take about two and a half months which will put them in California just in time to spend the Christmas holidays with their parents. The bikes will have to be left behind for the final leg of the journey home to their 27 foot sailboat in the Virgin Islands. The couple bought the boat in New York two years ago and then took the water route to the islands where they’ve lived since. Normally a teacher, Jon has worked construction during their tropical sojourn while Bambi, a registered nurse, has taken jobs as a sales clerk. Both plan eventually to return to the U.S. and the professions they’ve trained for, possibly even settling here if the Holschuhs’ lobbying attempts are successful and Rappahannock continues to work the magic it weaves on visitors. “You’ve really got a gorgeous county here,” Jon exclaimed, as the couple checked tires and tightened packs before tackling the mountains between Sperryville and Luray. “We didn’t know what to expect from Virginia. It is really beautiful.” Bambi added.

Panther Tales By Richie Burke & Lori Frye This week a new club is being organized at RCHS under the direction of Miss Griffin. It is called the Hi-Y Club and is very popular in most of the high schools in the state. The purpose of this club is: “To create, maintain, and extend to the fullest capacity of ones ability, high standards of a Christian way of life through involvement, brotherhood, equality and service". During the school year many resources are provided the participants to help the individual become more involved in the community and the school.

They ordered their class rings which are scheduled to arrive in December just in time for Christmas. The Junior class also had a meeting Wednesday. They discussed a number of possible fund raisers in order to finance the annual JuniorSenior Prom. The Rapposdy staff distributed the first annual spring supplement to the student body this week. The spring supplement, to last years annual, includes all spring sports, the senior play, the high school musical Oklahoma, the Junior-Senior Prom, and all commencement programs.

National Geographic says. Spiders Are Hunting Warmth Spiders are common household pests in the fall. After spending the summer catching flies and months, adult spiders look for a safe and warm place to spend the winter. Homeowners frequently encounter the eight-legged critters around windows, doors, houseplants and in basement and garage clutter. William H. Robinson, Extension entomologist at Virginia Tech, said that most of us have terrible misconceptions about spiders. “They’re pictured to be poisonous, even deadly, and likely to attack at any time,” he laughed. “The only dangerous spiders we have in Virginia are the brown recluse spider and the black widow spider.” The brown recluse is not common. The black widow is common but reports of its biting people are infrequent. “Spiders for the most part are beneficial insects,” said Robinson, “eating other spiders and insects." There are a number of spiders commonly found around houses. They include: —Golden garden spiders have a rather flat head and thorax region covered with whitish hair. These spiders are black with yellow markings. Bag Lin During the meeting conducted by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries on Friday, August 28. the waterfowl hunting seasons and bag limits were set for the 1981-82 hunting season. Again, during this coming season, sportsmen will have a three-part duck season with the first part opening on October 7, 1981 and closing on October 10, 1981. The second part of the duck season opens on November 24, 1981 and terminates on December 5. 1981.The final part of the duck season opens on December 18, 1981 and closes on January 20, 1982. Once again this year, hunters will use the point system. Opening at one half hour before sunrise, the shooting hours continue each day until sunset. The Commission also set a season for brant with the season opening on December 18. 1981 and closing on January 16, 1982. This is the first time in a number of years that there has been a brant season in the Commonwealth.

Their legs are usually shorter and their body not as big as the golden garden spider. —Wolf spiders are usually large, hairy spiders that are not associated with webs. They look much worse than they really area. —Jumping spiders do just that - jump! They are small, usually black with red or white markings, and often found in windows. They rarely bite. —House spiders have "dirty” white and gray markings on the abdomen. They build complicated webs in corners, under tables, chairs, etc. —Sheet web spiders have a pair of dark bands across their yellowish head-thorax and abdomen region. They are common on shrubs and weeds around the house. Robinson advised that spider control is best done on a one-to-one, as needed basis. A general spray for spiders is not recommended unless the infestation seems severe. "Tolerate what you can, spray with an aerosol what you can’t,” he said. For more information on spiders and other insects, contact your local Extension office. tits Set terminate on January 20, 1982. The daily limit is three (3) geese.

With the fall hunting season almost upon us, Virginia sportsmen should begin making preparations for their trips into the field. "This not only means marking hunting dates on a calendar and contacting landowners about hunting leases but getting field gear and ‘desk chair physiques’ ready for the adventures ahead,” said a Virginia Tech Extension specialist in safety. Firearms which have been stored since the last hunting season should be cleaned and checked. In fact, stored guns should be checked every month or so for signs of rust or dust accumulation, particularly if they are kept where temperature and humidity conditions are variable. Special attention should be given to cleaning the bore and making sure the action works smoothly, said Glen H. Hetzel, a faculty member in Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He also advocated “sighting in” rifles and handguns carefully. "Even if the hunter feels sure that a gun has not been bumped or jarred since the last firing, it is a good policy to double check,” Hetzel said. “This will not only prevent disappointment over a missed shot but will also get the shooter used to the ‘feel’ of his weapon again." Center-fire rifles should be sighted in using the bullet weights and powder charges which the hunter expects to use in the field. Sighting distances are determined by the type of game to be hunted and the terrain where the hunt takes place. As a rule of thumb, shot groupings from 50, 100 and 200 yards will prepare the hunter for most situations, notes Hetzel. "The good hunter does not fire one or two rounds and decide that he and his rifle are ready to go." he said. “The expense of firing a box or two of ammunition while sighting a rifle in is easily justified by the confidence the hunter will gain in his weapon and his shooting ability." Handgun buffs should also spend some time “burning powder" on the range before taking to the field. Generally speaking, handguns should be sighted in for distances up to 60 yards. It takes a dedicated pistol shot to be consistently accurate at greater distances. Remember, range safety is of critical importance with all Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutch imam' THE RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTRYSIDE begins to show signs of autumn as a haze filters over the hills and spots of colorful foliage appear. fybi- 0lea/ §UcUe t.9, d, 0L~ A remarkable house . .. full of vitality and light.. . porches, skylight and fireplaces . . . swim, fish, canoe. $155,000 with excellent financing.

Washington, Va 22747 • 703 675-3788 SPR CORPORATION Steven Parlagreco Building Construction New Homes Remodeling 937-4680 firearms but especially so with handguns, cautions the specialist. For shotgun enthusiasts, Hetzel advised a little trap or skeet shooting and “patterning” the shotgun. This is easily accomplished by firing at large sheets of paper or cardboard at distances of 15, 25 and 50 yards. The grouping of pellet holes on the paper lets the hunter know how his weapon performs at those distances with whatever load he is using. Another good plan with double barrel, slide-action and semi-automatic shotguns is to Fire more than one round to get used to getting off a second or even third shot, Hetzel pointed out. Good hunters restrict themselves to shooting only the kind of game for which they are equipped. The caliber of rifle, gauge of shotgun or size of shot being carried all place limitations on what should be hunted on any particular occasion. Archers should be getting ready to hunt by carefully checking their equipment, sharpening broadheads and practicing with silhouette field targets. These targets, especially those which are life size, get the archer accustomed to firing at “vital spots” rather than just “at the deer.” A good rule when hunting is always identify the intended target before firing a shot or loosening the arrow. Following this rule will help reduce hunting accidents. “Most hunters carry some type of a cutting tool for dressing game. These knives, hand axes or bone saws should be examined carefully and sharpened. A dull knife in the field is not only frustrating but also is more dangerous than a properly honed one,” noted the Extension specialist. Checking wearing apparel well in advance of the day it is needed will also add to the comfort of the hunt. Clothing with snags or tears from last season needs repair.
