Snead called a public information meeting at the courthouse on April 26 to answer questions specifically related to the septic system for the facility proposed for the ski area in Harris Hollow. When Snead left some two hours later, he had many more questions in need of answers. Long List Of Concerns More than 50 Harris Hollow residents turned out for the meeting. They voiced a long list of concerns regarding the proposed adult home and its septic system, among them: • Floods and power failures. • Pollution of Rush River. • Seepage into subterranean waters. • Impact on town and private wells. • Reclassification of part of Rush River. Snead came prepared to respond. He arranged for five experts to attend in order to answer residents questions. They were: Paul Steele, founder of Pine Haven Home for Adults in Newport News, Va.; Gary Moore, State Water Control Board; Becky Tolliver, State Health Department Water Program; John Kauffman, biologist, Virginia Game Commission and Wayne Stanton, an engineer from Culpeper. Residents contended that Snead’s plan for the fa? cility was ill conceived, expressing concern over power failures and floods. Flooding has caused closing of the road leading to the former ski area for up to three days, they said. Steele responded, “In some instances, the staff can handle certain emergendee.” He added that emergency plans had been discussed which, in the instance of a flood, involved “the possibility of having a helicopter come in.” Steele downplayed the need far such dramatics, however, stating, “It would be the same as if you yourself had an emergency in your home.” Residents complained that Snead had been unclear about the type of facility to be built, and who would be living there. Steele explained that only ambulatory persons would be permitted to live there. Such people, Steele said, would be physically and mentally able to vacate the home in an emergency, or able to vacate with no more than verbal or minimal assistance. Pollution Questions ' Raised Residents asked about pollution of Rush River by sewage effluent. There concern was twofold. First, during summer, the effluent (Continued on Page 2) Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Heddiestcn HOT SEATS: Local and state experts answer questions regarding sewer system for proposed home for adults in Harris Hollow.

Kramer Is Mayor Seventy percent of those registered turned out for Tuesday’s elections and put former Washington mayor Peter Kramer back into office for a two year term. \ The cabinet maker who was defeated on a write-in campaign in 1976 held off a similiar effort this time, coming out ahead of antique dealer Emmet White by a two-to-one margin, §2 to 26. Incumbent Mjyor J. Newbill Miller garnered one write-in vote. The polls closed at 7 p.m. and by 7:55, election officials had the ballots counted, their work followed by several candidates who waited patiently in the rear of the courtroom. Eight hopefuls contended for the five seats on the town council. William E. Wickens, a lawyer with offices in Washington, D. C. who has been a resident of the town for only two years, was the top vote getter with 69. Incumbent Dorothy Clater, who currently serves as town secretary, was second with 65. Leaving his mayor’s gavel at the head of the table for a council seat, Miller had 64 votes. Evelyn Miller Willis, daughter of the late Arthur and Emily Miller and a native of Washington, tallied 60. During the campaign, questions surfaced over (Continued on Page 2) By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ViiMhiUMtt Nm 9Uff Writer The supervisors were asked at last week’s public hearing on the proposed 1984-86 school budget to “put the children of Rappahannock County first.” They did that on Monday as they snipped away just one percent across the board from suggested pay hikes for school employees, reducing the bottom line for next year's educational expenditures by 618,000 to 62,611,227. “While there was a little bit of negative news, there’s a lot of good news,” an nounced Supf ■visor Nelson Lane after the unanimous vote to approve the school budget. “We have an index salary scale U$r teachers) in place ands* building program at tlQfWhjcbool started.'* ^ The only actual reduction in what was requested by the School Board came in ) lowering proposed pay in- '■ creases for administrators, teachers, aides, bub’ drivers, secretaries, custodians and. ether personnel by one pair- * cent, but other adjustments will effectively cut tl)e amount of local money acquired by 102,534 or about 4Vi cents on the tax rate. At Lane’s suggestion, the supervisors agreed to include $53,534 for architects’ fees on the high school expansion project in an application for a literary loan from the state. “I think live percent is a good deal for the county," said Lane of the interest rate which would be charged Rappahannock. “Is there any problem in doing that?” asked Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes. a “No sir, architects’ fees do qualify for literary loan funds,” answered superintendent of schools Robert Estabrook. The county may borrow up to $2 million for the capital outlay project, including money for both construction and equipment. “It’s a fairly easy process,” said Estabrook, adding that three major steps must be taken. First, Treasurer Frances Foster must report the status of county funds to the state. Second, the School Board must submit a curriculum plan, indicating the educational goals to be accomplished with the expansion-project. Third, the Board of Supervisors must pledge the willingness of the county to assume the indebtedness. Previously, the rate on all literary loans was three percent. But since December, the rate has been tied to the borrowing locality’s composite index by which the state measures ability to pay for education. Of the four rates — three, four, five and six percent interest — Rappahannock will be charged five percent since the county is judged high in ability to raise local revenue, based on high land values here. If application is made and approved for a literary loan, the money will be reserved for the building project for five years. The county doea not ipewany obligation, however, until funds are artuaHy ri^lved." In addition ■■ Supervisor Chairman J. R. Latham confirmed that plans for the expansion can be changed at anytime. Expansion Approved With those assurances, the supervisors voted unanimously to authorize the School Board to apply for a literary loan for architects’ fees, construction, equipment and other costs associated with the high school expansion project. They put no dollar amount on the authorization. “The total package price is an unknown factor right now,” said Estes, noting that the final figure will depend on square footage and building spedftcations. Estabrook added that ban ’appHcation can he made on the BasOfbrrpwr-* lirainary construction cost estimate which can later be adjusted' (Currently, the project under construction by the School Board centers around a new pre-engineered metal gymnasium and remodeling of existing space into additional dass(Continued on Page 14) Draft Budget Calls For 58 Cent Real Estate Rate The draft budget for 1984-85 that accountant Wally Cox has presented to the Rappahannock supervisors shows a 12 percent increase over this year’s expenditures and calls for a 38 percent increase in the local tax rate. The draft includes requests from all departments and agencies as submitted and totals $4,232,514, a jump of $557,155 over 198384. “ Based on an estimated $222,000,000 of assessed valuation of locally taxable real property, a tax rate of $.68 per $100 of assessed valuations will be required to meet contemplated expenditures after adding an estimated $4,937 to accumulated surplus,” Cox explained in the budget message accompanying the draft. He noted that the rate would stay the same if no additional fhnds are added to surplus. The current levy is 42 cents per $100. On Monday, in adopting a school budget which accounts for 64 percent of 198485’8 contemplated expendi tures, the supervisors made minor reductions, raised revenue expectations from the state and deferred a capital outlay appropriation for binding through a literary loan (see separate story). The moves appear to reduce the amount of local revenue required to support the school budget by the equivalent of 4-4 1/2 cents on the real estate levy. In upcoming weeks, the board members will review proposed general government expenditures, in all probability with an eye towards making cuts. Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes appeared to be speaking for his fellow board members when he stated on Monday that something has to be done to lower that 58 cent rate called for in the draft budget. Miyor increases listed under contemplated expenditures include $30,000 to begin the delayed reassessment of county property, $21,152 for contribution to volunteer fire and rescue associations, $110,457 for salaries and benefits for corrections officers and an additional deputy, $30,000 for food supplies for the jail, $90,000 for a landfill site, $20,000 for renovations to the county courthouse and $46,374 for health and welfare programs. On the revenue side of the ledger, increases are expected in state reimbursement which is projected to climb by $109,723, most coming in the sheriffs department category. Categorical aid for welfare administration is also expected to increase by $27,132. While federal assistance for welfare programs is anticipated in go up $4,513 , total revenue from the federal government is expected to dip by $3,677. For the third year in a row, Rappahannock’s levy (Mi personal property (licensed motorised vehicles) will stay at $6.60 per $100 assessed valuation. If reimbursement for jail construction comes in as expected, the county will begin the fiscal that starts July 1, 1984, with $230,000, according to the figures in the draft budget. Democrats Gather To Meet Fife Francis Fife, Democratic candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District, met on April 25 with citizens of Rappahannock County. The informal gathering took place at the courthouse. Lee Bird, Rappahannock County Democratic Committee chairman, arranged the meeting. Fife had called Bird saying, Td like to meet the Democrats of Rappahannock.” Sixteen people attended. Fife announced his candidacy after J. Kenneth Robinson (R-7, Va.) decided not to seek pee lection. Upon completion of this term, Robinson will have held the seat for 14 years. Fife sees this as a golden opportunity for the Democratic party. “A Democrat can win coming from this area,” Fife contended. But everybody in the Democratic Party is going to have to work very hard and raise a lot of money.” Fife worked hard to earn his local political wings in Charlottesville, where the Fifes reside. His economic development programs there have resulted in the revitalization of the downtown area. Fife is past president of The Charlottesville Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), which aided local residents with low incomes to remain in or purchase their homes. “Charlottesville is considered an ‘All American City* because of this,” Fife said. “I think it’s time we send someone to Congress who has been a local politician,” Fife said. “I have been in the place where federal programs have been received. I think it will be good to elect someone who has this experience.” Fife said he considers the federal deficit “monstrous,” and the area most in need of immediate attention, he said reducing the deficit would be a long process. “We must . .. not try to do it in one big sweep, but gradually, in five to 10 to 15 years. . . We should begin to look at each program to determine if this should go, this should stay.” Fife discussed a variety of issues during his two-anda-half hour stop, among them: school prayer, abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, defense spending, Medicare, the Clean Air Act, and foreign policy. Fife said he had been raised on a farm, and expressed particular interest in the views of Rappahannockers. “I need to get out to find out what farmers in this area want. The situation has changed so much,” Fife said. Fife wants to rid owners of small farms of tax burdens that encourage people to sell farmland to developers, he said. A vice-president and trust officer of the Sovran Bank of Virginia, Fife announced that he will leave his post on May 15 to pursue the Democratic nomination full-time. His wife, Nancy, is a former mayor of Charlottesville. BZA Approves Two Board Of Zoning Appeals Approves Two Requests, Postpones One By T. REYNOLDS Bappaftannock Near* Special Writer “I‘ve been too busy all my life to do nothing in my retirement,” said Lorraine Robson to the Board of Zoning Appeals at its April 18 meeting. Robson, contract owner of property on Route 707 near Slate Mills, was explaining her request for a special use permit to operate a bed and breakfist business in the old Hawkins house. Robson said that three out of the four bedrooms would be available for guests, making a possibility of six guests at one ! r time. The old house, to be called Meadowood, is on 20 acres, Robson said, with more than ample parking and good access from the paved secondary road. She added that she and her husband Eugene would be remodeling the home and adding a new deck. “There would be much more than enough room for us and our guests,” she said. The BZA approved Robson’s request unanimously, pending highway and sanitation permits. “I think this is a great use for some of our older homes,” Peter Kramer commented. “In this way we can keep some of the county’s larger houses.” Also unanimous was the board’s approval of James L. Dwyer's application for a variance from both front and rear setback requirements on his nonconforming half-acre lot in Gid Brown Hollow. Zoning Administrator David Konick told the board that, since Dwyer’s lot was 175 feet wide and 100 feet deep, “No matter how things are aligned, there’s no possible way to comply with the requirements,” and build a dwell ing of any kind. Konick said that there would be a 60-foot front clearance and a 25-foot rear clearance, and that the site is acceptable for building from a health (sanitation) standpoint. The property presently belongs to the Pullen family, Dwyer explained, and there are several old buildings that will be removed. Dwyer and his wife would buy the property from his wife’s family only if it would be possible to construct a home on it. Lee Bird established by questioning both Dwyer and his mother-in-law, Faye Pullen, that the lot was created before 1973 and that neighbors would not be inconvenienced by the proximity of the structure to their property lines. “Their neighbor said it would be okay as long as they don’t throw trash,” Pullen told the board. The board found that Dwyer’s request satisfied the law’s definition of a hardship in that to comply with the requirements would unreasonably restrict the use of the property (there could never be a building of normal sice constructed) and would cause undue hardship to the property owner. On Peter Kramer’s motion, the board voted for Dwyer’s variance as long as the building was constructed according to the site plan. The third case to come before the Board was to have been a special use permit requested by A. Burke and Carol M. Hertz for a second dwelling. Neither was present and Konick confirmed that they had been telephoned to remind them of the meeting. “I don’t feel comfortable discussing this without them here,” said Sharon Luke. Peter Kramer made a motion to carry the matter over until the next BZA meeting. Konick asked the board for guidance in the matter, of a temporary trailer. “This is a case in which the permit for a temporary trailer was granted while a home was under construction. The permit expires in two weeks and, as far as I can tell, no construction has begun. The applicant said that his home would be completed in six months,” Konick said. “What is the use of the trailer?” Luke asked. “They’re living in it," answered Konick. “Oh, dear,” she replied, and then suggested that Konick reach the applicant by letter and inform him that his permit would soon expire. The zoning administrator determined that trailer owner is eligible for an extension but that he will have to explain to the Board why construction of a permanent dwelling has been delayed. The applicant was never named. “I feel strongly about temporary trailers,” Kramer said. “We need him here so he can answer our questions.”

Cortefflo mnoonceg candidacy In Warrenton Sperryville Rescue Praises Dispatchers The Spenyville Rescue Squad, organized in 1969, might have had trouble helping anyone had it not been for the help of a Sperryville family who served for years as dispatchers. Donald Gore, president of the rescue squad, praised Mrs. Ethel Clater, Mrs. Cteo Dodson, and Mr. Charles B. Dodson for their untiring dedication to the task of dispatching. This year, on February 1, dispatching for all county fire and rescue squads was turned over to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. Actually Mrs. Clater, had served as Sperryville’s dispatcher for 37 years. It was a volunteer effort she and husband George, now deceased, took seriously. "We’d dispatch right from here,” Mrs. Clater said. "We’d receive a call, sound the alarm, and start calling whoever was on duty or whoever we could get.” Cleo, Mrs. Clater’s daughter, was reared as a dispatcher. Until February, it was an effort she, husband Charles, and Mrs. Clater shared. Even when Mrs. Clater had to go into the hospital some five yean ago, Cleo and George “looked after” the dispatching, Mrs. Clater said. Gore summarized the family’s dedication to Sperryville Rescue: “I think they did a wonderful job,” he said. They made sure someone was there 24 hours when they could have been somewhere else.” In other news, Sperryville Rescue elected officers on April 9 and named volunteen for 1984-1985. They are: Donald Gore, president; Steve Leake, vice-president; Kim Burke, secretary; Jody Wingfield, treasurer, Mike Lamm, chaplain, Thomas F. Flaherty, medical advisor, James W.

Critzer was tapped by voters to fill the final seat on the council, capturing 42 votes. Lynch had 34, just trailing Peter C. Skowronski with 39. The seventh council candidate, Truman P. "Tru” Keesey, had five votes. Incumbent treasurer Bradford R. Fisher, running unopposed, won 90 votes. Of the town’s 134 registered voters, 95 cast ballots in Tuesday’s elections. Of the full slate of candidates who ran this year, one interested poll watcher remarked: “It’s wonderful to think so many people want those thankless jobs!” Local Grape Growers Can Get In At Ground Level: Winery Cooperative Started Local grape growers will be able to help develop a new Virginia winery cooperative. The group was organized in Charlottesville earlier this month. According to its first president, Francis Sargent of Edinburg, the co-op will offer efficient facilities and professional management to help small acreage grape growers to produce the highest quality table wines possible. Sargent says there are approximately 100 commercial vineyardists in the state who have “neither the funds nor the desire to invest in expensive equipment and, above all, expert management.” Through the cooperative venture, he hopes to see the state’s wines rival those of California and Europe. Officers have invited volunteers to participate in a study group to look at stuccessfiil European cooperative techniques. The committee will also study state laws that would affect organization of the new Virginia Winery Cooperative.

Costello Joins 7th District Race By LAWRENCE EMERSON AmM Nnvm Staff Writer After months of speculation and recruitment, 7th District Democrats have competition for their congressional nomination. Lewis M. Costello, a 50-year-old attorney and accountant from Frederick County, said Monday he will compete for the nomination with Charlottesville banker Francis H. Fife, 63. Mr. Fife entered the campaign April 2. Mr. Costello’s annoucement came just 13 days before the Democrats’ district nominating convention May 12 in Charlottesville. The Democrats hope to field a candidate strong enough to capture the seat held 14 years by Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson (R-Va.), who will retire to his Winchester farm at year’s end. Six candidates are seeking the GOP nomination, also to be decided at a May 12 convention in Charlottesville. Travelling by private airplane and car, Mr. Costello made a quick sweep of 7th District towns and cities Monday to announce his candidacy and to seek support from fellow Democrats. At his side throughout the day was the man often mentioned as the Democrats’ most likely candidate — Del. Alson H. Smith Jr. of Winchester. Mr. Smith, who withdrew from consideration in March, is an influential fund-raiser among Democrats, a member of Gov. Charles S. Robb’s inner circle and a long-time friend and political ally of Mr. Costello. If Mr. Costello wins the nomination, Mr. Smith will have played a major role. “I don’t want to be running against Mr. Fife,” Mr. Costello said in an aftemon stop in Warrenton. “My nuqor dif Septic System Discussed (Continued from Page 1) would lay in the dry river bed. Second, residents were concerned that inadequately treated waste, the result of poor maintenance of the proposed septic system, may enter the waterway. Moore noted that the sewage would not be raw, but treated. Snead added, “We’d be very, very careful in what we did there.” In regard to the dry ditch situation, Moore said, “In hot weather, certain amounts will evaporate, certain amounts will be taken away. As time goes on, it will break down.” More questions resulted. “Can it seep into subterranean waters?” one resident asked. Echoing concerns about possibilities of groundwater contamination, Mayor Newbill Miller cautioned Snead of fault lines in Harris Hollow. The mayor also noted the town’s inabil Where Will Grandma Live? Reduced income during the golden years may make it difficult for elderly woman to live comfortably, according to the White House Mini-Conference on Older Women. The mini-conference concluded: • The average age of widowhood is 56. • Two-thirds of all widows live alone. • One-third of all widows earn below poverty level. • Three-fifths of all women over 65 are unmarried. • Eighty percent of retirement age women have no access to private pensions. • Less than 10 percent of widows receive pension survivor’s benefits. • Women retire on less than half of what men do. • More than 2/3 of nursing home residents are female. • Woman liye, pn the average, to age 83. ity to pay to have a new well drilled. Tolliver responded, saying that she could not address questions regarding groundwater contamination, only surface water. She said that she did not know where the fault line was located. The proposed facility’s impact on the town and private wells was questioned, especially during summer when the river dries in most places. “We’ll have to make a determination about wells before we made a decision,” Stanton responded. The longest discussion of the evening was quite a fish tale. Residents demanded to know why a section of Rush River near the site had been declassified as a trout stream when Snead’s request only involved a sewage disposal system. The public also wanted to know who initiated the reclassification. * - • Hilscher at 703/778-3568. The group hopes to encourage more farmers to begin planting grape vines while helping those already in the business to improve the quality of their product. “The co-op plan will provide a big step foward to help the new horticultural industry,” promised Sargent. V ference is he has been a trust officer. . . not in tne trenches of the marketplace, day-to-day.” Mr. Costello said his work puts him closer to the realities of business survival. Mr. Costello characterized himself as “a fiscal conservative. That does not mean I’m a social conservative.” He said health and social programs are vital. A lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve, Mr. Costello said he is dedicated to a strong national defense system. “The biggest threat to that strong national defense today is our deteriorating economy caused by our unprecedented deficits. “The president’s attempt at strong national defense at the expense of the economy is counterproductive,” he said. “A sound economic system is the cornerstone on which a strong national defense is founded. "The second most important function of government after national defense is the eduation of the citizenry.” A “small farmer” with 26 heifers on 106 acres near Stephens City, he also expressed concern about the plight of agriculture and said the federal government must develop “a consistent farm policy.” Mr. Costello said he will be his “own campaign manager” until the convention and estimated $400,000 would be “adequate” for the nominee to wage an effective campaign for the Nov. 6 election. “Money alone cannot be the answer,” he added. Winning in the sprawling 7th District will be demanding because there is “no area of control (dominance) in the district” which includes 16 counties and five cities, he said. Moore finally closed in on the reason for reclassification, which came down to a choice of two things: “Either design the system to go to a trout stream, or reclassify via formal request,” he said. The formal request was initiated by Fanning Baumgardner, project engineer, in a letter to Mr. Moore dated May 2, 1983. “I asked Fanning to design the safest, most efficient system which was practical for the project,” Snead said. “He’s local, knows the area and knows the people. Who would be better qualified?” Rush River “Sacred” Despite protests and unanswered questions, several citizens commented that Snead had been “up front” and “sincere” in his efforts to secure a foolproof septic system. A few people went one step farther, proposing other ways Snead might alleviate residents’ concerns over pollution. Pumping and hauling sewage for disposal elsewhere was one suggestion. Stanton rejected the idea, explaining pump and haul was allowed only during emergencies and on a short-term basis. Others said Snead should examine the possibility of an extended drain field. These ideas did little, however, to stifle the anxiety of Harris Hollow residents raised by any threat to Rush River.

Goings On In The Arts By TUTT STAPP-HARRIS PorRAAC Gospel Music The Gay Street Theatre was alive with music and the spirit of celebration last Saturday night as groups from four local churches presented an exciting evening of gospel music. Rev. Deane of Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill led opening prayers and helped to create the sense of sharing between audience and singers that characterized the evening—everyone present felt free to sing along, clap hands and frilly participate in the vitality and energy of the music. The Clarence E. Dearing Gospel Chorus of Washington First Baptist Church began the performances with spirited renditions, concluding their segment with an outstanding solo by Barbara Shanks, “I Shall Wear a Crown”, accompanied by Nanette Butler’s inspired piano playing. The Singing Word of Amiss ville United Methodist Church provided a contrast of style, singing with gentle lyricism. Their performance was highlighted with a solo by Ralph Letts, “Give Ear to My Words.”. Rev. Merle Schorb of the Rappahannock Methodist Churches provided quiet piano selections during intermission. The integration of the music with the voices « and laughter of the audience again carried out the evening’s theme of music bringing people together. The performances resumed with the Macedonia Price Singers, accompanied by the vivacious piano playing and singing of Mrs. Deane, wife of Macedonia’s minister. Their looser and more informal style won much of the audience over to singing along, particularly on their last song, “I’ve Got Somel AT THE PIANO fo concert, Mrs. Deane Macedonia Baptist Ch thing down on the Inside.” The program conclude with The Freeman Family, group of five accompanie by Jimmy Freeman on th piano.

The figures break down to 1,348 hours and $4,624 on the county’s primary system and 16 hours and $189 on its secondary system. In the 11 county Culpeper District, less was spent only in Greene ($2,027) and Fluvanna ($3,187). Prince William ranked at the top with $64,863 in litter clean-up expenditures, followed by Loudoun with $39,692, Fauquier with $29,078, Albemarle with $26,411 and Louisa with $27,631. Litter costs for the state in 1982-83 amounted to almost $2.2 million for some 275.000 hours or 38,250 eight-hour days. Department workers spent the time picking up trash from along roadsides as well as from medians, rest areas and waysids. About 88,000 hours were spent on the interstate highway system and another 151,000 hours were logged cleaning up the 9.000 mile primary highways. According to C.O. Leigh, state maintenance engineer, the size of the litter problem requires a year-long expenditure of time and money in SttUTS???? Eileen M. Day realtor TAX BREAKS DIDN’T COME EASY In case you take real estate tax breaks for granted - don’t. The National Association of Realtors fought hard and long for all of them. Due to Realtor efforts, the interest paid on mortgages became tax deductible in 1920. This has been a major savings for homeowners. In 1962, the National Association won a six-year campaign that allowed sellers to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of their home if another home of equal or greater value was purchased. Realtors were responsible for winning depreciation deductions; for deductibility of fix-up costs and broker’s commissions from the sale price for tax purposes. In the late 1950’s Realtors won tax deductions for moving expenses related to a job transfer. Likewise, Realtors promoted expansion of relief to the elderly in home sales. In 1962, those 66 and over could exempt the first $30,000 of their home sale from taxes. Today, the age has been lowered to 55 and the exemption has increased to $125,000.

Blowing paper, pieces of wood and metal cans all can contribute to accidents,” Leigh said. In addition to litter pickup, department workers also use the time to replace old and damaged signs and to repair shoulders. Pulling shoulders, or bringing the shoulder up to the level of the pavement, is another safety measure. For several reasons, a shoulder can drop gradually below the level of the pavement and that creates a safety hazard, according to Leigh. He also described expenditure of more than $2 million on trash pickup an unfortunate situation. “That money could be spent on road repair. We feel there is little of lasting value gained for the money spent in litter pick up,” Leigh said. The department isn’t the only agency working to keep the state roadsides litter free.

David Konick laid to rest of questions on family Uj graveyards raised recently B< by Roger Kidwell of Flinl Ik HiU in At the February meeting i- of the county’s Board of Zona- ing Appeals, Kidwell asked a, by letter about regulations a governing burial on private s- property. (Rappahannock’s zoning ordinances allow family graveyards by right in agricultural and conserva*" tion zones.) Kidwell inquired J whether a special use permit 111 is required, whether such * burials must be limited to a member of the family, how r’ many burials may be made fm on each lot, whether the *" burials may be made at any ® location on the property, whether a certain portion of the property must be designated as a graveyard and recorded as such on a deed, whether the burial must be recorded “or can you just go outside and bury them,” and . finally, whether, there are - a^y requirements as to the, size of the grave, n i /^i In a letter to Kidwell dated February 22, Konick noted that the matter had been referred to him since the Board of Zoning Appeals does not have the authority to render advisory opinions. That power rests with the zoning administrator. Konick explained that family is defined as a group of persons related by blood, marriage or law. “It would be my view that the persons to be buried in a ‘family graveyard’ would have to be thus related. He went on to note that “public cemeteries” are allowed only by special use permit in an agricultural zone while cemeteries operated in conjunction with a church are permitted by right in a residential zone. Public cemeteries are also allowed in a conservation zone with a special use permit. According to the zoning administrator, there are no limitations upon the number of persons a landowner can bury as long as the “family” requirement is met in the nea Lross Launches Annual Fund Drivp The Fauquier and Rappahannock Chapter of the American Reid Cross has launched its annual appeal for hinds, this year seeking $18,808, an increase of about $1,000 over last year. Although the goal of $17,317 was attained last year, the chapter’s expenses have increased during the past year. In addition, the chapter has operated at a deficit in three of the past four years, dipping into savings to make up the difference. In a letter to citizens of Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, fund-raising co-chairman Col. James L. White of Flint Hill cited the services the chapter rendered in the past year in the two counties: First aid and C.P.R. (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) courses were given to 418 people; swimming and life-saving courses were taught to 320 children and adults; 1,092 units of blood were collected from 641 persons. The chapter responded to 123 appeals for help from service men and veterans. Food, furnishings and shelter were provided for seven burned-out families, and blankets and food were rushed to a bus load of senior citizens stranded in the snow. A total of 30 volunteers helped the professional staffs at the hospital, the two nursing homes in Fauquier and at the bloodmobiles. White asks the community to furnish funds that will enable the chapter to continue these essential Red Cross services.

As to public cemeteries governed by a special use permit, the Board of Zoning Appeals has the authority to impose restrictions it deems appropriate, including limitations on the number of gravesites allowed. As to the location of a graveyard, the zoning administrator said that a use ■ allowed by right may be pursued anywhere on the property without restriction. In response to Kidwell’s other questions, Konick said, “these are not zoning questions and I suggest you consult with your attorney as to these.

BURKE, General Manage USA H. BURKE, Advertising To Subscribe Phone 675-3338 BY HAL: $8.00 a year in Rappahannock and adjoining counties 810.00 a year elsewhere in the Untied States BACK COMES: 3 months or more 70*, 1-2 years-$1.00; over 2 years-$3.00 (# available) Courageous Move We applaud the Rappahannock supervisors for the restraint they demonstrated on Monday as they held cuts to school expenditures to only $18,000. It took courage when the county’s governing body is staring at a 58 cent tax rate, a .hike of 38 percent from the current year’s levy of 42 cents per $100 of assessed value. In April, 1983, it was a different story. Faced with a 58 cent tax rate last year, the supervisors chopped $116,830 from the school budget. The surgery might have forestalled an outcry from some of Rappahannock’s taxpayers but it motivated parents and advocates of improved educational programs to try to prevent a repeat performance this year. And the supervisors listened. They listened to the School Board members explain educational needs at a joint work session, the first ever held by the two bodies. They listened to speakers at the first night public hearing on the proposed school budget unanimously endorse the School Board’s requests. And they took a hard look at past practices. This year, a $110,000 maintenance bill on the elementary school roof falls due because a finished repair project has been postponed for years in the interests of saving money. In 1982, the latest year for which figures are available from the state, Rappahannock’s starting teacher salary ranked 90th and maximum teacher pay ranked 117th among Virginia’s 135 school divisions, leaving the county at a disadvantage in attracting and keeping top instructors. Space needs at the high school were first documented and acknowledged by a joint School Board/Board of Supervisors committee in 1976 but nothing was done to relieve overcrowded conditions beyond addition of four temporary modular units. Meanwhile, construction costs have climbed and the education of youngsters has suffered because science longer. labs are without water or gas, because there’s no space for an expanded curriculum, because teachers must move from room to room after every class, preventing the maximum use of planning periods. It isn’t just educational needs that have been postponed — and postponed — and postponed. For years, the county provided no building inspector even though the position was required by the state. For years, the sheriff and his deputies drove their own cars and were paid mileage. For years, Rappahannock had no local jail facilities and depended instead upon neighboring localities to house its prisoners. We still don’t have a county land fill accessible to all county citizens in compliance with the law. We still don’t have a dog pound that comes anywhere close to meeting state specifications. The judges who administer the criminal justice system from the bench in the court courthouse must have labored to do so over the noise of window air conditioners and other shortcomings in the facilities provided them. They have now asked for improvements. The federal government has just tied the receipt of revenue sharing funds to compliance with handicapped access regulations on both public buildings and public programs. Add up all these delayed projects and it comes to quite a bill, a portion of which falls due in 1984-85. Supervisor Charles Estes acknowledged the impact at Monday’s board meeting: “What we’ve done is coasted along for years and now we're trying to pick thing up and put them back on track.” He added that it can’t all be done at once; that to lessen the financial blow to local taxpayers, the catch-up period will have to be spread over several years. We agree but we think the supervisors did the right thing in separating school needs from the rest of the needs that will have to wait a little New Editor Sees Warm Welcome In A Wave By JON HEDDLESTON Bippahiiuiotk News SUIT Writer At first, I didn’t know how to react. After ail, it had been a long time since I’d seen such behavior. So, for awhile, I just watched, not really reacting at all. The people were waving. Every time our car passed someone, the person waved. I noticed it first in Washington. An elderly woman, seeing our approach, paused to wave. It didn’t seem to matter that she lost a step or two. On the road to Slate Mills, if happened again. A farmer paused, leaned on his hoe, waved and tipped his hat. It didn’t seem to matter that he lost a stroke or two. I wanted to respond — to wave — in the worst kind of way. It was an exciting feeling, one I’d almost forgot ten. I felt like a boy again, standing at the top of the stairway, ready to straddle the banister for a free fall to the bottom. But it seemed grandma was guarding that banister just like she used to, teaching me early lessons about restraint. We continued to wind along 707, driving past a Rappahannock family. The mother was hanging sheets to dry in the crisp mountain air. Everyone waved. I tried to respond. My hand felt like a catcher’s mitt; my arm was numb and prickly, as though I’d slept on it too long. We whisked by before I got the chance. I grew up in a rural area of Ohio where everyone waved. I was thrilled to see people waving again, not concerned that they might be extending this courtesy to total strangers. One Rappahannocker I met told of an informal survey he’d taken of communities where people wave and where they don’t. Of course, being from Rappahannock, he always waved, and found it a difficult habit to break when he ventured elsewhere. His conclusion: Outside of Rappahannock County, nobody waves first and only one in ten wave back. Our car approached another pedestrian. I was ready, anxious to dust off the cobwebs and give it a try. The pedestrian waved; I waved back. It felt good. And it feels good coming to Rappahannock County. It’s a feeling one gets when he’s on the way home after being away for far too long. Wine Festival Set For August The 1984 version of The Virginia Wine Festival will be held on Saturday, August 11, at Piedmont Vineyards and Winery in Middleburg from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Festival, which is the highlight of the pre-harvest season, is sponsored by The Virginia Wineries Association. The modern Virginia wine industry which began just over 10 years ago already sports 23 farm wineries which have produced award-winning wines in national competitions. There are at least 120 vineyards in the state which produce vinifera (European), native American and French hybrid grapes. The Festival will spotlight the Virginia wine and grape industries and provide the opportunity for winelovers to sample Virginia wines, view and purchase Virginia-made crafts, foodstuffs and other products. The 1984 Festival is participating in Governor Robb’s “We Have It Made In Virginia!” theme. The coveted “Governor’s Cup” will be awarded to a Virginia wine entered in competition. Music will be provided by Wild Bill Whelan and His Dixie Six. There will be a grape-stomping contest, vineyard and winery tours, carriage rides and a host of activities for everyone. Advanced tickets are on sale for $7.50. Tickets at the gate will be $9.00. A souvenir festival glass and free tastings from Virginia wineries are included in the price of the ticket. For ticket information call 1-703-364-9745 or write: The Virginia Wine Festival P.O. Box 99 Orlean, VA. 22128 Local wineries participating in the Festival include Rapidan River Vineyards of Culpeper, Oasis Vineyard in Hume and Naked Mountain Vineyard in Markham. L Our Rappahannock Heritage■ Letter To The Editor Don’t Build Home In Harris Hollow lotne editor, First, I’d like to thank everyone who came out to the courthouse last Thursday night and spoke out against the present proposals for the Rappahannock Group Home. Even though we certainly made an impression on Mr. Snead, let me assure you we have a long uphill struggle. I’m sure he will present us with another horse, only a different color. I think the time has come for Mr. Snead to ask himself two very important questions; 1. Is it financially and economically sound to build, operate, and maintain such a facility at this location, in a community which seems nearly one hundred percent against his proposals? 2. Is it nur to the people who will be living at this facility to be isolated from society and exposed to such a harsh environment? It will take the combined efforts of everyone concerned to rid ourselves, our children and our environment of this proposed disaster in Harris Hollow. JOHN CLARK, JR. No Love Affair With The Automobile By EUGENE MCCARTHY Rappahannock News CfUMtCotonniit Cultural historians write of the love affair of Americans with the automobile, I am an exception. I may have had a minor thing going with the first car I owned, a ’35 Chevrolet two-door, (it was called a coach, a designation trans- s ferred from a buggy design i that was roughly comparj--, ble). I bought the car second hand in 1937 and kept it until 1949, when having been elected to the House of Representatives, I reluctantly abandoned it, as not quite up to the trip to Washington, and possibly, in the exuberance of having just been elected to national miblic office, as unbecoming to my new dignity. From that year on whatever affection I had built up for the automobile gradually faded — for Fords, Chryslers, various General Motors cars and two American Motors products — all American built. I tried all sizes and shapes, two-door, four door, station wagon, etc. Totem animal names I tested, the Impala, the Skylark and others, and other names which are supposed to indicate the character of the machine as well as of the driver: “Imperials”, Ambassadors, Furies, Citations, Electras and soon. Despite disappointments and dangers, I stuck with American made cars. I received warnings that under some conditions the spring on the starter of the car I owned might break, leaving the car at full throttle. The warning came a week after the vary thing had happened as 1 was driving home from church. I received notices of possible defective brakes and steering assmeblies and new and more -comprehensive warranties, which always seemed to have expired just before the warranted parts broke down or malfunctioned. Finally this year, anticipating the purchase of a new car, I decided to go foreign. I was moved in part to this decision by a notice my daughter had received advising her that the American Poet, author, former United States Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy note tires in Hauiin Hollow, Woodcille. car she had been driving had a weakness in its rear axel, which condition might lead to the loss of a rear wheel. The manufacturer assured her that if this happened, only minor body damage would result. She wrote asking whether the damage would be to her body or to the car’s body. She received no reply. Before moving into the foreign field, I consulted persons who read the automobile magazines, the automotive pages of the daily press and to some who owned foreign cars: Swedish Volvos, German Volkwagens and BMW’s (The mercedes was beyond me) and the owners of Japanese made cars. Weighing all of this advice, I decided to make my first move among the Japanese models. Since I was testing, I decided to start at the top of the line, or near it, and work down. The salesman, knowing my hesitation about buying a foreign car, told me not to make a rash or hurried judgement, but to drive the test car for several days. I was taken aback at my first look at the dash board. The number of indicators, buttons, flashing lights and other devices which I could not identify was intimidating. The board looked like the control panel on a supersonic airplane. The seat was close fitting. My knees touched the steering wheel. I sympathized with astronauts like John Glenn, who circled the earth for days in a crouched position, and also with the monkey of one of the first missions who was discredited for having “tampered”, or better “monkeyed,” with the controls. I was able to start the car and get safely out of the garage. Then strange things began to happen. I noticed a shadow in the rear window. The trunk cover had risen. Evidently I had touched a release button. I stopped the car, and with relief, closed the door by hand. Next a panel in the roof opened, I thought, mysteriously. I thought that it may have been in response to the full moon which had just broken out of the early evening clouds. Again I stopped the car and found a control which closed the panel. Being careful not to touch or even come close to any button or level, I eventually reached my home parking place. I turned off the motor switch. Almost immediately a voice came on telling me that. “The key is in the switch”. I looked into the back seat to see whether or not I had a passenger. There was no one. Again the voice told me I had left the key in the switch. I removed it immediately, only to have the same voice tell me that I had left my lights on. I turned them off, and somewhat unnerved, locked and left the car for the night. I wondered what other messages, warnings, advisory notices, possibly commands the car might give me. Would it say “Pull over to the curb”? Could there be hidden somewhere in this electronic gear a kamikaze warning not to pull up, or possibly even a directive to worship the emperor? It was too much. I returned the car to the sales-room the next morning and fled, fearing that it might cry out after me, calling me “timid”, possibly even “cowardly.” I am going to look at a Chevrolet in the hope that I can regain the confidence of man’s mastery over the machine that I had when I owned and drove the. 1935 model. 100 Senior Citizens To Go Camping A special 4-H camp is being planned by the Virginia Extension service and local Agencies on Aging.

Edythe Harrison of Norfolk. Warner is unopposed for the GOP nomination. In spite of the Democratic leadership’s best efforts, it appears that no other candidate will emerge to challenge Harrison’s bid for the party’s nod at its state convention next month. It isn’t as though the Democratic chieftains haven’t tried. Lord, how they've tried! Throughout the winter and early spring there were rumors of a new “mystery” candidate almost every week who was said to be about to throw his hat into the ring. None thus far has done so, and the Democratic leaders are now ruefully conceding that none is likely to come forward. As a result, the Democrats are taking a second look at the Harrison candidacy. Somewhat to the surprise of many of them, they are not all that displeased with what they When Harrison launched her campaign last year, she was widely regarded as a far out feminist aitu IIUpeiCBB UUCI £U. DC* sides, she had the singularly unsenatorial characteristic (by Virginia standards) of being a woman. In addition, at a Democratic State Central Committee meeting earlier this year, she gave the party leaders a tongue-lashing over the nomination process which smarted for weeks. Hence the wide-ranging and notably unsuccessftil search to find an alternative candidate for the nomination. Harrison has pursued her goal with an energy and a single-minded determination which have impressed even her severest critics. She has travelled the state speaking to groups large and small, and the image which has emerged during these meetings has hardly been that of a fire-eating liberal. At the top of her agenda she places control of the federal deficit and tax reform. She favors a strong military force with emphasis on a greatly strengthened conventional arms capability. She supports the state’s right-to-work law and opposes gun control. She responds to questions in a forthright manner and is well-informed on a wide variety of political, economic and social issues. She calls upon her background as a businesswoman, civic leader and former member of the House of Delegates to confirm her bona fidea as a viable Senate candidate. The odds against her defeating Warner are formidable to say the least. Some would call them prohibitive. But a growing number of Democrats are coming around to the view that a woman of Harrison’s combative temperament might well be juft the triad of candidate with whom Warner would find it hardest to deal. If she gets the nomination, she is apparently preparing to blast Warner on a number of fronts. Indeed, these attacks have already started. “Women built Warner up,” said Harrison, obviously referring to his millionairess ex-wives Cathy Mellon and Elizabeth Taylor, "and it will take one to bring him down!” (Harrison says she had rejected suggestions that attempts be made to have Miss Taylor campaign for her.) She intends to concentrate her attack on Warner’s voting record, which she calls one of the most reactionary in the Senate. “He votes in lock-step with the Reagan programs which have doubled the national debt in three years,” she contends. “Edie may not win this election,” remarked one Capital observer, “but when it’s over John will have scratches all over him. He will know he’s been in a helluva fight. And how can he fight back? You can’t take off the gloves with a woman opponent. It’s not the Virginia way.” The Republicans, with considerable justification, believe they are marching to an almost certain Senate triumph in November.

The ladies from the local extension homemakers clubs will give craft demonstrations and are eager to answer questions about their projects from interested spectators, according to Rappahannock’s home economics agent, Florence Vickers, organizer of the open house. Blood pressure checks will be provided by res cue squad volunteers, a cancer information booth will be open and the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department will offer fingerprinting for youngsters two months and older. (The only copy of the prints will be retained by parents for identification purposes.) In addition, recreational activities are planned for youngsters so that parents will be able to tour the homemakers’ displays. Refreshments will be served and eight door prizes will be given away. -Conference Addresses Domestic Violence The Women’s Abuse Shelter will sponsor a Northern Piedmont Regional Conference on Domestic Violence on May 16, 17,22 and 24. Social scientists report that one out of every eight couples has experienced an act of violence that caused serious injury. The majority of these violent acts are directed toward women. The conference sponsored by the shelter will give interested citizens an opportunity to work together to provide alternatives for victims of domestic violence. Meetings will be held at Central Fidelity Bank’s Community Room in the Southgate Shopping Center, Culpeper, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. For further information or to request a registration form, contact Rachel Saunders at 826-1847 or 347-1920.

Thursday, May 3,1984 Potomac Fever Awareness Up, Answers Elusive By MICHAEL MARTZ AnutM Nmpapa* Staff Writar GREAT FALLS — Insect control and strict attention to the early symptoms are the best methods to control Potomac Fever this summer, veterinary scientists from four states told horse owners last week. The scientists admitted they lack many answers to questions about the mysterious, often fatal, equine disease. Approximately 660 people came to Madeira School in Greenway Friday night for a seminar sponsored by the Morris Animal Foundation, a Colorado non-profit group that is channeling donations for research to unravel the mystery of Acute Equine Diarrhea Syndrome, or Potomac Fever. The disease, which is seasonal and apparently peculiar to the Potomac River region, has afflicted more than 300 horses and killed approximately 90 of them the past five years, since it first appeared in Montgomery County, Md. It has since spread into Virginia, which reported 32 cases and 10 deaths last year, and Pennsylvania, which reported 25 cases and four deaths. Reports of the disease, or something very much like it, also have come from states around the country. The seminar, and a special session for veterinarians that afternoon, drew Potomac Fever researchers, including scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine who received approximately $31,000 in Morris grant money last year. What that research has produced are suspicions, but not evidence, that Potomac Fever is a virus borne by biting insects, not contagious, but likely to return to areas it has afflicted before. Three of the scientists — Drs. Jonathan E. Palmer and Robert H. Whitlock of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center and Dr: Allen L. Jenny of the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa — collaborated in reproducing AEDS in a healthy horse by transfusing blood from a sick one. But they don’t know what the agent is and how it spreads. “We have not positively identified it,” Dr. Palmer states in a background paper. “We also don’t know whether all cases of the disease syndrome are caused by this agent....We are not certain whether this is a new agent or a newly recognized agent which has caused disease for some time.” Although a virus is the likely culprit, Dr. Palmer said, bacteria could play a secondary role in the disease. Dr. Jenny also suggested a type of rickettsia, the family of blood parasites that transmits Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever through ticks. (Maryland Assistant State Veterinarian Ralph C. Knowles later doubted it, but said researchers would not overlook the possibility.) Dr. Sukanta Dutta, a virologist from the University of Maryland, said he has been able to isolate a virus (in 13 of 15 cases, according to Dr. Knowles), but has “not been able to determine what role it plays.” Neither the Pennsylvania researchers nor their counterparts at the veterinary college in Blacksburg think Potomac Fever spreads by horse-to-horse contact. Dr. Brian Perry from Blacksburg presented preliminary results of a survey the college conducted last summer of homeowners in Montgomery County, both those whose horses had the disease and a control sample of unaffected horses. That survey suggested little differences in how the disease affects horse accord- - ing to sex, age (although 710 years showed the highest incidence) or use (although pleasure horses had it most), pasture, watering, bedding, etc. It also suggested that AEDS is not contagious, because of 60 stricken animals 67 percent were the only case in the barn and contact with affected horses on pasture did not seem to affect chances of catching the disease. But the survey suggested statistical risk on farms with other animals, like cattle and dogs, and in barns where the disease has struck before. Of the cases surveyed, 61 percent were on farms with ' no other livestock, but that still presents a statistically pester risk, Dr. Perry said. But he added that he does not know what that risk factor really means. In the other case, 42 percent of the cases surveyed occurred in barns where one or more cases had occurred in previous years, while (8 percent did not, again producing a statistical risk of the disease recurring. Another unknown factor Dr. Palmer suggested is that an animal could carry the disease without becom Plan Ahead For Spring Flooding It seems as if Mother Nature is determined to make up for the lack of rain last summer that turned Rappahannock County and other parts of Virginia into drought disaster areas. The showers have interfered with the spring planting but have given a welcomed boost to the local water table. Unfortunately, the frequent downpours raise the possibility of flooding. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, action taken now can help to minimize the impact of flooding. The Agency suggests the following tips on what to do: 1. Learn the safest route from your home and place of business to high; safe ground. If you are asked to evacuate in a hurry (particularly at night), knowledge of the roads provides an extra margin for safety. 2. Never attempt to ’ drive through water on the road since sections of the road or bridge may have already been washed away. Move immediately to higher ground as the floodwaters may still be rising. 3. Keep a battery-powered radio, emergency cooking equipment and flashlights in working order at home. Also maintain a supply of food that needs no refrigeration. 4. Residents of frequently flooded area should keep materials such as sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting and lumber which can be used to protect property. Sandbags should not be stacked directly against the outer wall of a building, since wet sandbags can create added pressure on a structure. 5. Purchase flood insurance. Your homeowners oi business insurance policy will not protect you from flood loss. Flood insurance can be obtained through the Federal Insurance Administration’s National Flood Insurance Program. Contact your local insurance agent or broker for information about eligibility. There is normally a five-day waiting period for the policy to become effective. 6. Make an itemize list of personal property, including ftirniahings, clothing and valuables. Keep this list and your insurance policies in a secure location, such as a safe deposit box. Photograph your home inside and out. This will help verify losses when filing a flood claim. It will also prove helpflil should you have any other type of home insurance claim. A more complete listing of steps to take before, during and after a flood is published in the NFIP pamphlet, “In the Event of a Flood.” For a free copy, write: Consumer Information Center, Department 600M, Pueblo, Colorado 81009. All of our food contains some water—about 6 percent in a fresh almond and 80 percent in a potato. Hie watermellon contains more water than any other food 97 ing sick itself, which he said could upset theories of contagion since people surveyed would not know if their horses came in contact with a carrier. Also, he stated: MHorses may be a dead-end host for the disease. That is, the disease may never be transferred from horse to horse but rather from other animals to horses.” Since no one knows what the disease is or how it spreads, they don’t have a r treatment for it. Dr. Palmer said a vaccine ‘‘might be possible” once the agent has been found and grown in a laboratory. But Dr. Knowles said until then vets can only treat the symptoms. ‘Too often we’re treating symptoms until we know the cause,” Dr. Knowles said. “It’s like hunting with a shotgun instead of a rifle.” Besides insect control, the best protection against the disease is alertness to those symptoms: loss of appetite, depression, fever (they advised taking temperatures at least once a day), colic (in some cases), low white cell count, diarrhea (which induces dehydration and shock) and founder. The disease is reportable in Virginia and Mwyland. Vets must report cases to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services laboratory in Warrenton, represented Friday night by Dr. Jerry Wilson, who will relay the information to the State Veterinarian’s office. Dr. Wilson said the state does not propose to quarantine sick horses or impose restrictions on horse events. Maryland is not quarantining horses (although Morris representative Sandie Cafritz said that about one-third of Montgomery horses already have been moved away) and leaving the decision about attending events to horseowners. The Warrenton lab also will perform necropsies on dead horses, but not treat live ones. The Marion DuPont Scott Eqine Medical Center in Leesburg will not play any role in disease research or treatment this year, college officials said. The center’s administrator, Dr. G. Frederick Fregin, who attended the afternoon seminar for vets, said the center may open July 15, but would not be “fully operational” until August or September. The scientists and Morris representatives who conducted the seminar suggested one other tactic against the disease: money for research. Palmer said that the New Bolton center has already spent $50,000 in research, including $19,000 from the Morris grant, some private donations and a substantial amount from non-restricted university money. 1 M WILSON Effective thru May 8th BROS., INC NOl exactly as pictured Rotary Mower •20” Cut-fully baffled •3 HP Briggs A Stratton angina •Flxad 7/8 Inch “H” loot hand la •7 in. diamond. tread tires •All Steal Deck SALE 119*7 22 cut, 3.5 HP Rotary Mower Briggs & Stratton motor SALE *149" SERVlUTAR Paints Custom .Colors' (V NO OO CHARGE ^f)v«r 600 color sj availahte best.quality EXTERIOR LATEX FLAT HOUSE PAINT NOW$1 VL bestquaUty INTERIOR LATEX FLAT DECORATION *997 NOW GAL manco Masking Tape WxSOyds. 2 for 97* All Roller Covers 97* Sale Deck Packages Architect Approved Deck Packages Constructed of pressure treated pine with 30 year warranty 8 X 12 Sale •249” Save *50°* (Other sizes available) Landscape Timbers Pressure treated to resist insects and decay.

The numbness is the telltale sign, it can occur between any toes of the foot but is more common between the third and fourth toes. In this instance a normal sensory nerve becomes covered with fat and abnormal nerve fibers and becomes a trigger point. In tight shoes or in abnormal foot positions the pain can be quite severe. There are various treatments for the differing degrees of this problem. Remember, your feet must last a life time. Or.

Recent examinations of elementary school children show that 67 percent need dental care or are already receiving it from some source. The figure is even higher for RCHS students in grades eight through 10—74.3 percent. Hughes had no statistics on the adult population. Services of the public health dentist are available to everyone, regardless of income. However, charges are on a sliding fee scale determined by resources. Last year, bills to patients from the dental clinic totaled $60,000 on Medicaid’s fee scale. ‘'That figure would have been at least $150,000 in the private sector,” Dr. Hughes noted. “Right now, we’re averaging $1,600 to $1,800 in charges per week on the Medicaid scale. The same services would cost $6,000 from a private dentist. That’s what the community is getting—a lot for a little.” The savings are dual. Not only do Rappahannock residents receive dental care at reduced cost, the only local tax dollars spent on the program go for part of the dental assistant’s salary and expendable supplies, according to Hughes. The rest of the overhead is covered by the two state and federal agencies. The dental clinic is now open Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. For an appointment or additional information, call 9878105. —R«pp«h»nnock News Photo/D.

Old Friends, Peppermint Sticks And Dandelion Wine By T. REYNOLDS JiMimrh Wtfwi 8>iri«l Writer From the humble blossom considered a blemish by many gardeners, two old Rappahannock friends made many a quart of fine homebrewed wine. Emily Miller, who died last year, and her dear . frienq Mattie Ball Fletcher,, got together at this time at year to pick, wash and set the yellow flowers to steeping and working in an ingenious brew. “You’ve got to get them right away, now,” says Mrs. Fletcher. “Last year I waited too long and I woke up one morning and they were all gone.” Mrs. Fletcher says that town dandelions are all right, but don’t measure up to the quality of the dandelions she used at Thornton Hill. “Emily’s wine was always great, though,” she said, “even though we used the same recipe given to us by Lucille Green.” Emily’s daughter, Evelyn Willis, tells a story about an old man who lived in back at Mt. Prospect. “He worked here on the farm and he liked dandelion wine a little too much. So in the spring he made a lot and drank a lot. “Daddy (Emily’s husband, Arthur) asked the storekeepers not to sell him any more sugar as his work had slacked off. Well, that didn’t seem to improve his condition and we wondered where he was getting all that sugar to brew the wine. One day, Clarence Baldwin called up to tell us that our hand had bought an unbelievable number of peppermint sticks during that month - it must have been May. So the old guy was crushing peppermint candy and using it in place of sugar.” We* don’t recommend the use of peppermint sticks; in fret, we can’t even vouch for Lucille Green’s recipe. But knowing the culinary reputations of Emily and Mattie Ball, we’re sure this must be good and it may make you feel better to know that there’s a real use for the pesky weed. We’ve also included recipes for dandelion greens, fried blossoms and dandelion root coffee. Keep in mind while you pick the blossoms that the golden weed was once con sidered so valuable that it was imported by Pilgrims to the new world. For them it was a valuable source of vitamins A, C, and D, calcium, potassium and iron. And hoist a glass of dandelion wine to Emily Miller and her dear old friend, Mattie Ball Fletcher. Lucille Green’s Dandelion Wine 1 quart dandelion blossoms 1 gallon boiling water Pour water over blossoms; set for 24 hours and strain. Add three pounds of sugar and juice of two lemons. Boil ten minutes. Cool to lukewarm, add Vi yeast cake and cover bottle loosely for eight weeks. Sweeten to taste and cork lightly. See if it works again. Do not close tightly until wine does not work at all. Pried Dandelion Blossoms 2 quarts freshly picked dandelion blossoms, washed |pid dried ® 1 Vi cups fine commeal Vi cup oil 2 eggs 1 tablespoon water Add water to eggs and beat well. Heat the oil to siz*bng in a skillet. Dip blosaoms, one at a time, into the egg, then the commeal. Saute, turning often, until golden. Drain on a paper towel. Saueteed blossoms may take the place of mushrooms in casseroles. Southern Dandelion Greens 5 cups dandelion greens 1 cup cubed ham or smoked pork hock 1 medium onion, diced 3 pints water Salt and pepper to taste Simmer the ham or pork in. tha water, .to which riiaad. onion and seasoning has been added. Cook until broth is rich and meat is very tender. Meanwhile, take young leaves (picked before blossoms appear) and cook them in a couple of waters to remove any bitterness. Add greens to the kettle, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Season and serve with combread. Dandelion Root Coffee Gather roots in the early spring (before the blossom appears) or in the fall. Clean roots by scrubbing with a stiff brush. Place in a slow oven (150) and dry until brittle (about four hours). Increase heat to 375 and bake for about 15 minutes or until roots are very dark brown throughout. Put through grinder, whiz in blender, or crush with rolling pin until it has the appearance of coffee grounds. Boil about one teaspoon per cup and strain before drinking.

The Wingfield Report By DENNIS WINGFIELD Rappahannock New* Special Writer April, weather’s fickle month, has parted company for this year and May is upon us. With a high temperature of 76 and a low of 60, the winds traveled through our county at gusts of 25 miles per hour as if to say, “Look what I brought you." Look indeed! April brought to the Sperryville area measurable precipitation on 11 of its 30 days. Total rainfall for the month was 5.17 inches, following the 6.60 inches that fell in March. High temperatures averaged 59.43 degrees; low temperatures averaged 38.53 degrees. Although Rappahannock County’s unemployment rate is the second lowest in Rappahannock-Rapidan, the county’s older population, already higher than the national average, is inreasing. JTPA hopes to place three people from RappahannockRapidan in new jobs by June Again this year, the topic of conversation has been the wetness of the spring. As wet as this April has been, it still was not as wet as April 1983, when 9.39 inches of rain fell. Temperatures in the daytime averaged slightly warmer (1.7 degrees) and nighttime temperatures were just a little cooler (.5 degrees). Plowed fields, gardens and greener pastures seem to be the order of the day. And, if Rappahannock’s appearance is an indicator, it appears to reflect great expectations: Bring on the crops! Farmers and gardeners will continue to watch the skies of May, which, like April, can spring a few weather surprises, too. THE QUCK REVERSE.

RCHS Finishes Track Season Undefeated. 1st In District By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON 1»M—1»—«h Hwi SUIT Wrttor Both Rappahannock track teams, the girls and the boys, ended the regular season this week undefeated in district competition. Their performances have to make RCHS the favorite in the Bull Run championships, this Thursday, May 3, at Clarke County High School in Berryville. It was the first time that girls AND boys’ track teams finished a season without a single defeat. The week started on Tuesday with a resounding victory over non-district foe, Page County. The boys’ crew took 11 of 16 events, sweeping the pole vault, mile, two mile, 400 and 800 and winning all the relays, to come out on top, 94-41. The Lady Panthers’ margin was even more one-sided as they bested the visitors, 8528, sweeping the shots and capturing 12 first places. “Wendy Coffey and Charlotte McGee has reason to be happy,” reported coach Ann Spieker. “They tied for first in the high jump and met the goals we set for them, clearing 4’4”.” The relay squads had an outstanding afternoon, proving that they deserve the title of “fast four” earned by Kim Williams, Cristol Porter, Raynetta Gheen and Katheryn Davis over the past two track seasons for their blue ribbon performances in the 400 and 800. In the 400, 1983 grads Porter and Williams have been replaced by Kelly Bristol and Shannon Watton. And the foursome is still winning, taking first over Page with a time of 58.5 seconds. In the 800, Davis, Watton and Gheen teamed with Annie Tuppar for another first, finishing in 2:05. Rappahannock’s relay sweep was completed in the mile as Ann Oliver, Denice Eidson, Tupper and Bristol won in 5:13. In addition to capturing all the relay events, the Lady Panthers swept the top three spots in the shot put with Donna Williams throwing 31^4”, Connie Compton throwing 29’11V'4” r and Marie Davis throwing 28’8V4”. Then Davis tossed the discus 8T11” for a blue. Nancy Frye, battling a wind that had just picked up, took second in that event with 68’1”. In the hurdles, it was Kelly Bristol in front, clearing the obstacles in 18.8 seconds, with Anita DelGrosso right on her heels in 19.2 for second place. Katheryn Davis broke the tape in the 100 yard dash in 14.2. Roz Cook took second in the 200 in 30.9 seconds. Another blue went to Ann Oliver for her 2:57.5 run in the 800 while Denice Eidson added a red ribbon to her collection with a 1:13 finish for second place in the 400. Distance runners Karen Ludwick and Marie Roemer finished one-two in the mile and again in the two mile. Ludwick’s times were 7 minutes and 14:27; Roemer’s 8 minutes and 15:31. Gheen continued to show her versatility in the field as well as on the track with a first place leap of 14’6” in the long jump. More Sweep* For the boys, it was Scott Keithley (10:34), Ronnie Atkins (11:02) and Will Oliver (11:46), one-twothree in the two mile, and David Fischbein (80, Gary Jenkins (70 and Wayne Woodard (70, one-two-three in the pole vault. Keithley, Atkins and Oliver took the top three places again in the mile while Chris Caperton, Craig Kenyon and James Dennis duplicated the feat in the 400. David Dodson led another sweep in the 800, running it in 2:17 with Caperton and Kenyon right behind him in 2:21 and 2:34. The foursome of Kenyon, Caperton, Dennis and Dodson won another first in the mile relay, completing the distance in four minutes. And still another relay win came as Wayne Woodard, Garri Jackson, Jeff Fudd and Terry Jordan covered 800 meters in 1:45.5. Clarence Pendleton cleared 5’10” in the high jump for top spot; James Dennis was second, jumping 5’4”. David Fischbein and Jimmy Freeman won first and second in both the high hurdles and the intermediate hurdles. For Rappahannock’s final blue ribbon in field, Matthew Frye tossed the shot 36’V4”. The Panthers’ remaining points came from Andrew Ellis (third in the long jump), Wayne Woodard (second in the 100 and 200), Garri Jackson (third in the 100) and Clarence Pendleton and Jimmy Freeman (second and third in the triple jump). “The boys from Stonewall made a stong showing at the relays which were held just a week earlier,” coach Spieker noted. “We expected them to be very strong and to give our boys a real battle in the dual meet. They didn’t and I think it’s because our boys worked harder, expecting so much from Page.” Tri-Meet For Boys Rappahannock’s boys team held off determined challenges from district competitor George Mason and private school Bishop I re ton at a tri-meet last Wednesday in Falls Church. “George Mason held the lead after the field events and Bishop Ireton had good runners. The combination gave us some real competition. We had someone to push our boys in the field and someone to push us on the track,” said coach Spieker. But the final score—66 Vi Rappahannock, 52 BI and 40 Vi GM— might not be a true indication of relative talent. “Our boys looked tired after the meet they had the day before with Page,” the coach noted. There was only one sweep on Wednesday for Rappahannock as Chris Caperton (56 seconds), Craig Kenyon (57.34) and James Dennis (57.4) finished onetwo-three in the 400. “They’re running strongly and should do well in the district meet on May 3,” Spieker said. The 800 relay contingent of Wayne Wooidard, Garri Jackson, Jeff Fudd and Terry Jordon finished in 142.68 for a blue.

Coach Spieker discovered new talent in the season finale with Manassas Park at home on Friday, but unfortunately, the find came too late for entry into Thursday’s district championships. “Robert Williams practiced the hurdles for the first P time on Thursday and really showed promise. Then Andrew Ellis came up during the meet and asked if he could run the 300 hurdles. He’d never even practiced for the event and he came in third!” the coach noted. Also on Thursday, Eddie Burke decided to learn the Try-Outs Scheduled Little League try-outs will be held Saturday, May 5 and May 12, at 2 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School’s field. Boys and girls, ages 8-12, are invited. In addition, parent volunteers are welcome.

But the boys came back to poet a 78V* — 57V4 victory] “We give a lot of the credit to the sprinters. They put in an extra hard practice on Thursday,” said Spieker. Watching her charges on Friday, the coach noted that the boys looked tired. “We ran them awfully hard yesterday to get them ready for the dUstrict. It yill pay off next week.” First place awards in track events went to distance runner Scott Keithley in the mile and two mile, the mile relay contingent of Craig Kenyon, Will Oliver, David Dodson and Chris Caperton; the 800 relay team of Jeff Fudd, Terry Jordan, Garri Jackson and Wayne Woodard; Chris Caperton in the 400; David Fischbein in the 300 hurdles, Craig Kenyon in the 800 and Wayne Woodard in the 100 and 200 dashes. The only top finisher for RCHS in field competition was Clarence Pendleton who took first in the triple jump with a leap of 36’10Vi”. Pendleton also won second place in the high jump. David Fischbein captured a second place in the pole vault, clearing V with Gary Jenkins right behind him in third place with 8’. Fischbein, a freshman at RCHS who transferred last year from Warren County, holds the junior high pole vault record at his old school. This year, his best performance in competition has been 9\ “But both he and Jenkins have done much better in practice,” noted assistant track coach Gregg Waters. Apparently upset over his failure to vault as high as his best last season, Fischbein spent the next two hours after his event ended, bending his pole in practice vaults. He left the pit only long enough to place second in the high hurdles and third in the triple jump. Other points on the talley sheet came from James Dennis (third in high jump), Troy Jenkins (second in discus), Garri Jackson (second in the 100 dash and third in the 200), Dexter Freeman (third in the long jump), David Dodson (second in the 800) and Ronnie Atkins, (third in the mile and second in the two mile). Girls Lead From Start The Lady Panthers had an easier time with their opponents, taking the edge from the beginning of their half of the competition and streching the advantage to a final 81-33. “The girls have that winning spirit. They give 100 percent and their hard work has put them on top by a wide margin in every meet,” Spieker noted. They captured the top spot in 11 of 14 events and posted a sweep in the shot put with Donna Williams, Connie Compton and Wendy Stringfellow finishing onetwo-three. 1984’s “fast four” — Katheryn Davis, Shannon Watton, Annie 'Dipper and Raynetta Gheen in the 800 relay; Davis, Watton, Gheen and Kelly Bristol in the 400 relay; Denice Eidson, Ann Oliver, Tupper and Bristol in the mile relay — took * their almost automatic first places. Wins in the field went to Marie Davis for discus throw with Donna Williams third in that event and Charlotte MacGee third in the high jump. Raynetta Gheen also took first in the long jump and Katheryn Davis second, clearing 15’3” and 14’5” respectively. On the track, top finishers included Katheryn Davis in the 100 dash, Karen Ludwick in the mile and two mile, Annie Tupper in the 400, Ann Oliver in the 800 and Raynetta Gheen in the 200. Other points came from Kelly Bristol’s second and Anita DelGrosso’s third in the hurdles, Marie Roemer’s second in the two mile and third in the mile, Denice Eidson’s second in the 400 and Donna Atkins’ third in the 200.

Seton started the inning’s batting fiesta and were not stopped until three runs had been scored. The Owlettes fought back, knocking in seven runs before the last runner was retired and grabbing a lead they never relinguished. In the forth inning, how ever, Seton was able to hold the Owlettes scoreless, retiring the first three girls up. In the fifth and sixth innings Wakefield’s run total jumped to 26 and Seton was unable to add any runs to their anginal, three, Sharpn - McAllister led the Owlette’s power hitters with two homeruns. Lisa Irani and Sharon Campbell hit one homerun each. Pitcher Kathleen Fawcett retired five batters and relief pitcher Lisa Irani retired two.

The win advances the Rappahannock “whiz kids” to the quarter final round of WVPT’s academic competition and puts their cumulative score this year at 745 compared to 340 for their opponents. At Relays Panthers Win Medals. Rappahannock runners came home from the Easter holiday’s Stonewall-Broadway Relays with medals and records for RCHS but it was still a disappointing afternoon for the high school track contingent. “Our kids just froze. It was our worst performance this season,” said assistant coach Gregg Waters. He attributed the mass case of jitters to the competition. Little “A” Rappahannock faced 12 schools. Some were also from the state’s single “A” ranks but others hailed from the bigger “AA” cat More Fodderstack Race Results Lack of Bpace prevented complete listing of local run; nera and winners in the sixth annual HFodderstack Classic Road Race. First, second and third place winners in the different categories were: Men • Open — Steve Pinard, James Alexander III, Tim Kearney. • 12 and under — Evan Wiesel, Eric Robinson, Russ Gamer. • 13-18 — Matt Coyle, Matt Simar, Brian Cooke. • 19-24 — Brian Pinard, Bill Plonk, Mike Stokes. • 25-29 — Paul Baltutis, David Ramsey, Mike O'Hara. • 30-34 — Michael S.

In addition, it’s been team spirit that has helped boost the Panthers to an undefeated record in Bull Run District so far this season. The relays’ limitation on entries to a school’s top two performers in each event left a big hole in the RCHS cheering and support unit. Marie Davis had the highest finish on the Panther squad, placing second for a medal ip the discus with a throw of 98’8”. Katheryn Davis was the only other Rappahannock girl to win a medal, capturing the award with a third place leap in the long jump. The boys’ contingent gathered six medals. Distance star Scott Keithley’s time of 4:41 was good enough for a third place in the mile. Craig Kenyon also claimed a third place medal with his 2:08.39 time in the 800. The foursome of Keithley, Kenyon, Ronnie Atkins and David Dodson took fourth place in the two mile relay, crossing the line in 8:46.3, a new RCHS record Belyea, Windi Runion, Pam Heinze. • 12 and under — Katie Arnold, Susan McNear, Soi\)a Wiesel. • 13-18 — Kiran Beyer, Tracee Butler, Chris Walker. • 19-24 — Barbara Fogelberg, Lisa Currie, Judy Beattie. • 25-29 — Laura Hens haw, Susan Berry, Tina Taff-NeaL • 30-34 — Betty Settle, Nancy Specht, Lynn Bums. • 35-39 — Marti Nelson, Mary O’Meara, Merrill Strange. • 40-49 — Betty Dameron, Dot Sleight, Dixie Kaufmann. • 50-59 — Rachel Bourn, Anne Newmann, Ginny Wren.

Whiz Kids In Final Four When sports fans say “final four,” they mean the four teams that make it to the quarter final round of the NCAA basketball championships. When scholars say the “final four,” they mean the four schools that make it to the quarter finals of WVPTs, Harrisonburg Educational Television’s, academic competition, Pop Quiz. Advancing to either is an accomplishment to be proud of, something that only comes with hud work, dedication and talent. Rappahannock County High School’s “whiz kids” have those three attributes and last week, they qualified for Pop Quiz’s final four with a one-sided victory over Spots wood, 226 to 90. The feat puts a feather in the collective cape of the RCHS squad, Ann Oliver, Will Oliver, Jonathan Watson and Cheryl Atchison, and their coaches, Roger Flinchum, Cindy Way land and Brion Patterson. The other teams expected to join little Rappahannock High (enrollment 420) in the quarter finals are single “A” powerhouse E.C. Glass from southwest Virginia, Western Albemarle High School from a county noted for its philosophical and financial commitment to academic excellence and quality education, and Wood berry Forest, generally recognized as among the state’s top private schools. Rappahannock’s contingent of one freshman, one sophomore and two seniors dominated Spotswood’s all male junior-senior foursome from the opening buzzer. At the close of the first round, the Panther quizzers had built up an advantage of 125 to 10, limiting their opponents to one answer. "They were so poised, so completely poised,” reported coach Way land. "And they all contributed. It was a total team effort. They worked together in last Thursday’s match better than they’ve ever done before.” After this Thursday’s contest, drawings will be held for the match-up for the quarter finals. The date and time of Rappahannock’s next competition will be announced in the News. , Break RCHS Records tor that event. However, their finish wasn’t high enough for medals. “We missed many medals in fourth place finishes by our relay teams,” said coach Ann Spieker. “Not all of the events were run like a regular track meet. In a lot, they were giving medals to only first, second and third.” The mile medley relay team of Chris Caperton, Wayne Woodward, Garri Jackson and Craig Kenyon also set a new school record, running the 400, 800 and two 200 legs in 3:57. And their third place finish left them each holding a medal. Rappahannock’s toughest competition in the Bull Run District this year, Stonewall Jackson and Strasburg high schools, had representatives at the relays. “Many of our boys and girls are rapidly improving their performances but it was evident that StonewaU’s and Strasburg’s teams are also improving at a very fast rate,” coach Spieker reported. “The district and regional meets are just around the corner. The competition should be great.” AUCTION Saturday, May 5th, 10:00 A.M. Rain or Shine Auction Under Tent A.C.

If successful, “we will be getting even less (in basic aid for education)” and possibly paying higher interest rates for literary loans, he said. “It might be a good move to go ahead and make application now and get a rate locked in...Next year, we might be looking at six percent. The cities and heavily populated areas are going to outvote the rural counties, no doubt about it,” Estes cautioned. Adding the $53,534 for architect's fees to the literary loan application instead of taking it from local funds will not reduce the total amount of the 1984-35 school budget, accountant Wally Cox told the board. However, it will add a line to the revenue side for the same amount, reducing the total that must be raised in local taxes, he explained. Also on the revenue side, Cox upped his estimates on what the county will receive in sales tax reimbursement Committee To Review Avian Influenza The U. S. Department of Agriculture appointed on April 18 an eight-member committee to review the handling of poultry infected with (Mr exposed to avian influenza. The committee will explore alternatives to destroying flocks found to be infected, and ways to eradicate the disease. The avian flu has caused the loss of about 1.2 million turkeys and chicksn in Vir ginia, valued at more than $4 million. Across the nation, the current outbreak of the disease has caused the destruction of more than 12.6 million poultry at a cost of more than $40 million. No Virginians were named to the committee, according to a press release issued jointly by Virginia Senators Paul Trible (R) and John Warner (R). from the state from $304,000 to $325,000, effectively cutting another penny from the portion of the tax rate necessary to support the school budget. “It’s the best estimate I can give you,” Cox told the board members, adding that his projections usually ended up less than the sales tax reimbursement sent by Richmond. Estes noted that even if sales tax reimbursement falls short of the accountant’s new prediction, “we wouldn’t get into a whole lot of trouble” since the county could dip into its five percent surplus. “I know we’re grasping at straws but we’ve got to cut this 58 cent tax rate,” he told Cox. Salaries At the beginning of the meeting, Estes announced his support for the proposed index salary scale for teachers. Questioning the superintendent, Estes confirmed that, as proposed, the total for teachers’ salaries would rise 7.5 percent. Of that amount, 6.3 percent comes from implementation of the index scale with a one percent increase to the first year teacher’s starting pay, necessary to ensure that no teacher will suffer a cut in salary in the new plan’s first year. “I’m not suggesting a decrease,” said Estes. “I just want to find out what it takes to implement index pay...It’s something that I think should be done. I just want to clarify that.” At the request of the board, Cox determined that a one percent cut across the board in proposed pay — dropping administration to 5.5 percent raises and the rest of the school staff, including teachers, to 6.5 percent total — would reduce the proposed school budget by about $18,000. Lane pointed out that with the index scale and the one percent reduction in what was proposed, Rappahannock’s stvting salary would rank 81st instead of 90th and its maximum teacher pay 74th instead of 117th among the state’s 135 school divisions (assuming the rest of the salaries in the state are unchanged). With the 6.5 percent bottom line increase, raises individual teachers get will range from four percent to nine percent, according to Estabrook. The smallest dollar raise will be $24, he reported, adding, however, that the individual will receive a much larger increase on next year’s step in the index scale. The next smallest dollar increase will be $462. Teachers for five years’ experience will get $923, with six years’ $1,100. The largest dollar increase — $1,582 — will go to a 24 year veteran. Questions About Uranium Mining Unanswered By VELMA SMITH In 1961 the Virginia General Assembly made a vital commitment to the health of the Commonwealth’s citizens and the protection of her resources. The commitment took the form of a simple resolution to study the probable impacts of a prospective new industry — uranium mining and milling. Since that time our legislators have twice reaffirmed that pledge to safety through foresight: In 1962 and 1988 the legislators found unanimous agreement on a statewide moratorium on uranium mining. The legislature this year decided to keep that moratorium in place for at least one more year. A review of the issue reveals the wisdom of that course. When uranium leaaat in the tobacco fisida of Soothside Virginia and amidst dairy herds just 70 miles outside of Washington first prompted concern, an effort to consider the consequences of an industry new to Virginia seamed realtively uncontroversial and straightforward. In reality the task has been neither. It has embroiled proponents and opponents in numerous public disagreements, on occasion attracted the attention of the national press, and cost the state treasury more than $200,000. The state has e greatly enchanced understanding of the problems posed by the industry, the types of technology that will mitigate those problems and the lessons learned by states which did not have the leisure to develop sophisticated regulatory programs. What we do not yet have is an answer to tht fundamental question: Can uranium be mined and milled in Virginia with adequate assurances of safety? And why is an answer so elusive? The health effects associated with radioactivity have engaged the scientific community for generations, and any discussion of radioactivity is marked by disagreement among reasonable people, indeed among the experts. But that level of uncertainty is only part of the problem. The domain of the uraniuaa business in the U.S. has been a handftil of Western states — arid and scarcely populated areas. While other industries felt the impact of environmental laws enacted in the seventies, the isolated ur anium industry, handler of vast amounts of toxic materials, somehow escaped significant reform. Massive spills and slow leaks from disposal sites continue to threaten the health, the water supplies and the livelihoods of the industry*sneighborB. Now, an industry which has evaded conservation measures and failed to demonstrate the reliability of its technologies is seeking residence in Virginia. The setting in which it would operate differs significantly from its home base in the West, which differs markedly in climate, terrain and in precipitation from the East. Hie Virginia operation is one in which water pollution will be extremely difficult to control and where large numbers of people and businesses stand to lose in the event of pollution. Policy makers and ultimately the voters are thus freed with the review of a unique, highly technical and controversial proposal.

Couple this enormous uncertainty the industry’s discomfort with close scrutiny, and the study effort becomes even more difficult. It is no wonder, then that the state has wrestled for nearly three years with the safety question. Despite considerable work by state legislators, agency staff and citizen and industry representatives, the ultimate and crucial question remains unanswered. After developing a sense of the magnitude of risk involved in an uninformed decision, the General Assembly in 1983 created an advisory group which could study in depth the technical and policy questions involved. The 14-member Uranium Administrative Group (UAG) has spent the past year working on the uranium issue with the state’s consultants, who bring to the discussion their expertise in waste disposal and water contamination. In recent months both the Uranium Administrative Group and the consulting firm of Rogers, Golden and Halpern (RGH) have issued final reports for the year. Neither RGH nor the UAG has been able to declare uranium mining safe for Virginia. Nor are they able to declare uranium mining totally unacceptable. The UAG deserves thanks for its diligence and probing, but there are those who have chosen to blame both the Group and the consultant for the inherent difficulties of the study topic. The uranium industry has been notably slow to deliver the information requested by the state. Yet Marline Uranium Corp., the firm which proposes to mine uranium in Virginia, has cried foul and questioned the Commonwealth’s good faith. What exactly are the recommendations which have enraged the industry? They are: • Concluding that federal regulations are not adequate to protect Virginia, the UAG recommends the development of Virginia’s own health standards as well as additional detail on a speeifid mine site.

Proceeds benefit county citizens and communities. “So even at 6.5 percent, the county’s doing a good job,” Lane emphasized as the board agreed to reduce proposed pay raises by one percent for all school employees. Roof Repairs In addressing the $294,494 proposed allocation for maintenance of school plants, a 59 percent increase over the current year, Lane asked first if the superintendent expected any money to be left in the school budget in June when the fiscal year ends. “If there is, I’ll have to be officially proclaimed a magician...It appears that it will be very, very tight,” said Estabrook. “If there is any surplus, it will be minimal,” he said, adding that the School Board has worked diligently to stay within funding limits set by the supervisors after last year’s budget cuts. Estes asked if the maintenance category included ENOUGH for upkeep and repairs. “If you need more, you should have more.” “We should maintain what we’ve got. It doesn’t make sense to let it go down,” agreed Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “We think this should take care of it,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie assured the supervisors. The supervisors looked at two other areas in the budget with an eye towards possible cuts but in both cases held off after hearing from school representatives. Lane acknowledged that Rappahannock lags behind neighboring counties in supplemental pay scale for extracurricular duties. “But I sort of feel like some of this goes with the territory,” he said, adding that he had personally targeted raises on that sale for reduction. However, when informed that increases per extra duty assignment “don’t come any where near 6.5 percent”, he dropped his suggestion for cuts there. Likewise, Chairman Latham withdrew his proposal for eliminating purchase of one school bus in 1984-85 after hearing that six buses currently in the fleet are approaching or past 100,000 miles. Going through the budget by categories, the board lowered bottom line totals below the School Board’s request only to reflect the one percent cut in proposed salary increases. Handshakes and smiles passed back and forth between the supervisors and school representatives at the close of the meeting. • Recognizing the extent of the geologic formation which holds the uranium, the Group also calls for a review of the potential impacts of a statewide uranium industry. • The UAG has charted a course for further study, calling for the state, rather than the industry to take the lead in another year’s study efforts. With these sensible recommendations in hand it is little wonder that the legislature has followed the lead of the UAG and refused to EWS tion.
