In the weeks since, a few of those balloons have come back, carried on their return trip by the Postal Service rather than the four winds. The balloons were attached to tags that announced the 50th anniversary celebration, and asked for their return by the finders. Their landing points show which way the wind blows over Amissville. Hackley’s balloons were picked up in Waldorf and Prince Frederick, Maryland, and in Delmar and Frankftirt, Delaware. The biggest bunch touched down at Bethany Beach where Mr. and Mrs. Rodger Car Ion, vacationing from Edina, Minnesota, found 17 scattered on the sand. Alter plotting the balloons’ landing spots, Mrs. Hackley reports that all fall in a straight line from Amissville. And straight away, she plans on sending each of the finders a “Hackley’s Store”, tee-shirt. • Senators Praise Students Students of Wakefield School's sixth-grade medieval history class recently received congratulatory letters from U.S. Senators Paul Trible (R-Va.) and John Warner (R-Va.) The students won third place honors, junior division, in the state championship contest of the National History Competition held at Lynchburg College at the end of May. Competing against regional winners in grades six through eight from all over the state, the Wakefield students presented a group perfcntance entitled, “A Page’s Progress,” written by sixth grader MatConsistent with the theme of the contest, “The Family in History,” the performance demonstrated how the extended family provided a network of education for the Bons of the nobility during the middle ages. i Judges at Lynchburg praised the students for originality of treatment and for fine performances. In addition to Lynn, students participating included Tom Trumbower, Ian Williams, Brian Favre and Louis Brown. • Fish Tales Only For a special report on favorite fiahin’ holes, see page 9.

School Tops In Tests By JON HEDDLESTON Rappahannock Ntw> SUIT Writer Rappahannock residents and educators have reason to be proud of their school system these days. For the second consecutive year, Rappahannock County High School (RCHS) is among the top scoring schools in Virginia’s Minimum Competency Tests, this year ranking 4th in the state. The competency tests, which measure reading and math skills, primarily are taken by students during their sophomore year. The state requires every student to pass the tests before a high school diploma can be awarded. Rappahannock students achieved a composite score of 98.9 this year, which means that 98.9 percent of RCHS students who took the tests passed both. In the reading test, 100 percent passed; in math, 98.9 passed. Last year, Rappahannock ranked higher in the state, second, even though its composite score of 98.7 was lower. It’s the consistency that counts, according to RCHS principal Robert Chappell. Chappell called the trend toward high composite scores “significant,” noting that some school divisions will score well in one year and may not score as well again for another 10. Added assistant superintendent Thomas Campbell:"... it definitely relates to instruction. It reflects highly ON the staff, and what’s going on.... “The overall climate,” Campbell continued, the overwhelming support py the community and the board of supervisors this past spring, I think, are having an impact on learning in the schools.” Campbell and Chappell attributed effective teaching of basics in the schools and emphasis on education by parents in the home as fundamental to every success in Rappahannock’s public school system. Parental guidance, according to Campbell, has helped keep Rappahannock’s drop-out rate, at two percent, well below state norms nearing six percent. Campbell also said that high attendance levels in Rappahannock Schools were indicative of parental concern and teacher motivation. Daily attendance at the high school last year averaged 94 percent, and about 97 percent at the elementary, Campbell said. “It’s just outstanding,” Campbell said, noting that other school divisions have attendance levels as low as 75 percent. “People want good education, and appear to be willing to pay for it,” he added. School superintendent Robert Estabrook made special note of the competency test results during the school board meeting of June 26. “I have some good news for you,” he announced to the school board, before discussing fourth place and all the details. Campbell noted that Rappahannock was first among all neighboring counties and above a wealthy Northern Virginia county noted for quality education. Campbell declined to mention the name of the county, but smiled and said, “It starts with “F” and ends with X.” Center’s Variance Binds BZA ByTHERESA REYNOLDS ■■ppalmnwdi N«w»8pwM Wrthr The Board of Zoning Appeals found itself unable to vote last Wednesday on the application of the Child Care and Learning Center for a variance from the rear setback requirements of the zoning ordinance. Sharon Luke, Acting Board Chairman in the absence of Lee Bird, diaqnaKfiad herself because she had previously represented the school in other matters. Peter Kramer, aJUr hearing legal arguments from both aides, said that he felt constrained to reserve judgement until he could study the transcript of the meeting. He also be allowed to hear the full legal case *s advanced by David Konick, zoning administrator, who argued against the variance; and Doug Baumgardner, adjoining property owner, who countered Konick’s arguments with his own supporting the variance. The absence of these two members’ votes, coupled with the feeling of the others that the planners should be £en the same presentation, left the ird without the required quorum for a vote. Tod Morgan, building committee dtairman for Die Learning Center, told the board that the new school building m planned would have one comer less than 150 feet from the property line. This was required, he said, in order to Mlow for the necessary play and parkshipf It can’t just be desirable.”' “We’d be severely limited,” replied Morgan. “We are a school. We need certain areas - these are neces sities rather than luxuries for a school of this type.” Doug Baumgardner spoke as the only adjacent landowner to be affected by the variance. “I own a 26-Acre parcel adjoining this lot,” he said. “I’m familiar with the land. If I were to alter my boundary lines, then my parcel would not conform. Without a variance, it would be difficult to use the land fen* any purpose because of marshy areas. I am the only one affected and I fully support their request. ” Morgan told the board that the building committee had fully the new ordinance to be in expectation reenforced tions with the does quiremeata of the said. “I did advise them that the new ordinance would be passed by the time they started building,” said Konick. Architect Angus MacDonald said that plans had been redrawn when the marshy nature of parts of the land had been established by soil and geological tests. He pointed out for the board why each area for play, parking and septic drain field was designated and could not be readily changed. Luke said that, although she could not vote on the variance, she believed that the school’s building committee acted in good faith when re-designing the plans in the behef that the new ordinance would govern their building. “I fully support this project and the school’s efforts to build,” said Konick. “But I have reservations and I think it would set a bad precedent to Konick Set forth three arguments against the variance. He said that he (Continued on Page 5) Water And Sewer Authority May Borrow A Million By THERESA REYNOLDS undnwkNmlpMiilWMkt The Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) passed a resolution at a special meeting July 2 to permit the authority to borrow not to exceed $1,000,000 in anticipation of the receipt of grant money from the Environmental Protection Agency to pay monthly costs of construction of the Sperryville sewer. The resolution, passed unanimously by a roll call vote, was the next step in the Authority’s plan to pay contractors’ bills without the long delay in waiting for reimbursement from the government agency. The authority had previously determined that waiting for reimbursement was unacceptable, as it would drive up the bids submitted by contractors. Paying the bills with money on hand was also not acceptable, as the Authority does not receive grant money in advance of billing. James P. Jameison, Sperryville financial expert, has been assisting the authority in the grant anticipation binding process and he told Authority members that the package was close to completion. The borrowing strategy works this way: the Authority borrows at a low interest rate, invests the money at a higher rate and uses it to draw on as bills are received. The notes, secured by certificates of deposit and by the government, are easy to place and present tax advantages to the buyers. The Authority pays back the notes, offered in amounts of $5,000 or composites of that amount, as expenses are reimbursed under the terms of the grant. Monday’s resolution authorized the board to go ahead with the plan, subject to final determinations of interest rates and successful negotiations with a securities firm. “This resolution does not obligate you to the process,” said Jamieson, “It merely authorizes you to proceed.” Jameison told the WSA he was aiming for a five-point spread between the interest paid by them and the interest received at reinvestment. Wayne Cilimberg said that his ok flee, the Planning District, would serve as the requestor of funds from the grantor as the project moved into step three. This marks a change in procedure as outlined in the terms of the grant from the engineer requesting payment. Cilinberg said that his office was waiting for notice of the final request for payment under step two from the engineers, Buckhart-Horne, a Williamsburg firm. James White of the Authority asked Cilimberg if the payments could still be handled on an accrual basis. This means that, even with the grantanticipation loan, requisition could be made as soon as bills were received in hopes that the grantor would pay within the 30 days required by contractors. Jamieson commented that such an arrangement would be desirable in terms of limiting the draw down of invested borrowed money. Cilimberg replied that he had received conflicting opinions on this procedure and that he would get a clarification. The Authority discussed the audit agreed on at the May meeting, deciding to go ahead with bids on an audit to determine the cost. Doug Baumgardner, the authority’s attorney, read them an advertise(Continued on Page 5) Chaiincey and Lila Celebrate 50 Friday Fifty years ago this Friday, July 6, 1934, Chauncey N. Aldrich and Lila M. Beach tied the knot in Bayfield, Colorado. It’S a day both remember well— and a wedding date selected primarily because of a holiday known as Independence Day. Chauncey was working in Leadville, Colorado, 160 miles from Lila’s hometown. He had two days off, enough time, he figured. He borrowed a car and started out during the only time of year it gets hot in the Rockies, he pushed the jalopy like a Pony Express rider — it’s radiator boiled all the way to Bayfield. Chaucey and Lila had met nearly two years earlier, during English class at Colorado State University, known as Colorado Aggies in those days. It was winter semester, 1932’33. The Great Depression was causing more gloom than a Colorado midwinter forecast. Chauncey was majoring in civil engineering; Lila in home economics. The English class was a requirement, no doubt. Lila recalled how she first noticed Chauncey. “He always came to class late,” she prods. Today, this couple still teases about the good times. They’ve been Castleton residents and converted Virginians for nearly 20 years. What made their marriage last? “Start out deciding it’s for always, and don’t think of anything else,” Chauncey and Lila, circa 1934 Lila says, simply. The Aldrich marriage, like a storybook romance, traveled 'round the world. Their three children, Will, Loraa and Sharon, virtually grew up in the Philippines, where their Dad worked for seven years as Chauncey and Lila, 1984 a civil engineer. But like any love story, the marriage had its difficult chapters, too. Chauncey left home for two years in 1942, to break ground on the Al-Can Highway. When he returned, the U.S. Navy took him away again—to the Pacific—where he saw active duty on the battleship USS Colorado. Lila was expecting daughter Sharon at the time. Chauncey and Lila have had their share of happy, and memorable, homes. The second year into their marriage, they lived in a tent at 13,000 feet—above the treeline—while Chauncey helped engineer TrailRidge Road in Colorado. Year* later, when Lila brought the kids to Manila, a Quonset hut was waiting. Today, the couple passes time doing more mundane things. “Mom has become a proficient knitter of afjghans and makes a mean coconut cream pie; Dad stays active helping to make roads, dig ponds and foundations for folks in the country,* daughter Sharon recently wrote.

The program, however, isn’t carved hi stone-yet. Presently, the state only has issued guidelines for gifted and talented programs. Those guidelines should become mandates later this summer, before the new school year begins. According to Pam Rowe, coordinator of special services for Rappahannock schools, the gifted and talented program as conceived by the state primarily will take place in the classroom, and become part of a student’s normal classroom routine. This is the type of gifted program presented to the state board of education by John Booth, director of gifted programs for die state,” Rowe explained. “Mr. Booth believes that 96 percent (of the instruction) should take place in the classroom, and five percent outside.” The state guidelines for a gifted and talented program allow a school division a great deal of flexibility in administering the program. “Each (school division) can develop its own program, aa long as they meet certain standards,” Rowe said. ‘There’s no dictatorship as flu* as curriculum,” she added, defining the state’s role. “I don’t think the state wants to get too specific; that doesn’t allow enough options for what an individual system wants to do.” Applied in the classroom, the gifted and talented program will depend on teachers recognizing the individual talents of students, and addressing on higher levels of understanding those considered “gifted” According to Rowe, teachers already are doing this to a great extent. ‘There are ideas that the program has to be something totally separate,” she said. “Like math and English, gifted and talented is part of that same whole - there to develop a child as a person and not just bits and pieces.” Teachers want guidelines, they want some directions—but they don’t want to be stifled,” she continued. “You have to let teachers do some things they feel comfortable with and eiyoy doing ” The particulars of the gifted and talented programs have not been presented yet to the entire faculty at the elementary or high schools, Rowe said. This has led to some misunderstanding and concern about specifics of the program. Rowe and other administrators said this had been a shortcoming on their part, and that they have plans to address all concerns in detail. The explanation will begin, Rowe said, during “in-service” days prior to the start-up of the new school year. She also plans to discuss the program at school board meetings, and follow up Tike some winds, a dash of hail, throw in some lightning and thunder, add some rain toward the end, blend with several days of 90 (plus) temperatures and serve.

Six teachers already have a handle on the program. For the second consecutive year, these teachers have conducted the gifted and talented summer program now in session at the elementary school. The teachers are: Lynne Baines, Denise Cline, Candace Lamms, Deborah Mills, Lynn Myrtle and Dawn Welch. Creative Problem Solving — devised by the individual teaches and approved by administrators — places students in problem situations without offering solutions. In Mrs. Baines class, for example, students recently were asked to roll newspapers and create a three-foot high table that would support the weight of a school book. It’s a lesson in thinking and problem solving on higher levels that Baines has posed to students before. “It’s quite an experience,” she said, noting that this class was more frustrated by the project than previous classes finally resorted to more newspaper rolls and the heretofore unauthorized use of tape. “I’ve done this one with other groups and gotten different reactions.”; A teacher of 12 years, Baines said; she has been “fairly pleased” with the summer program, but shares the concerns of others about the gifted and talented program when it competes with other priorities in the classroom this fall. “Teachers will have to have a clear understanding of what gifted and talented means to the administration,” she said. “It’s going to take time....” Building? • Paint • Lumber | • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 MOST LIBERTY HAS THE MOST MOST BRANCHES 250 Automated Teller Machines in Virginia, D.C., Maryland MOST' HOURS 24 Hours a Day. 7 Days a Week.

The future home of the Child Care and Learning Center is a MacDonald Munson (Orange, Va.) design. Construction will be completed by crews from Rappahannock. Will Doors OperiTo More Education? By JON HEDDLESTON liaptahanneck New* Staff Writer Before the doors can open to more educational opportunities in Rappahannock County, the Child Care and Learning Center, formerly called Sursum Corda, needs more financial support. Since 1979, Learning Center finances have more than sextupled: Browing from a modest budget of >,000 that year to a projected of $128,000 for fiscal 1984. With this growth, the Learning Center has provided more opportunities to more people who need services. The present problem is space. Unless the Child Care and Learning Center gets more of it, it will have to forfeit its state day-care center license. The Learning Center.currently is squeezed into a rental farmhouse located just outside the town of Washington. The situation is this: • The rooms in the farmhouse only 225 square feet, each, are too confining for small, active children. • There is no formal lunchroom, no indoor play area, no sick room, and two toilets are shared by 30 children. , • There are no conference or meeting rooms, office space is cramped and storage space is virtually non-existent. TTie Child Care and Learning Center must move to a new building, and the facility must be constructed to meet increasing community needs. Those increasing needs, which the Learning Center in a new location will support, include: • After-school child care for school-age children. • An adult literacy program. • Expanded speech therapy and learning disabilities tutoring programs. • Senior citizen inter-generational programs and programs for the handicapped. • Enrichment classes (currently housed in rental facilities throughout the county). • Instructional classes, including dance, karate and ait workshops. The Child Care and Learning future home of ? Child Care and Cearninq Center M RSIM COR.UA Uaithmuld Uunion-. Mini rs SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The Child Care and Learning Center’s future home is announced proudly just off Route 211 near Washington. Center “Building Funds Campaign,” begun about a year ago, is $28,000 short of funds needed to finance the project without borrowed capital. Time is running out. J In order to begin construction by the end of July, so the budding can be completed in 1984, thfse additional funds must be raised from priPrivate donations already have been impressive, according to Linda Dietel, building fimd chairman. To date, more than 100 Rappahannock citizens have contributed nearly $47,000 to the project. Dietel says. “We also need every cent we can get our hands on for the scholarship program.” % ' The scholarship program provides financial support to parents who otherwise couild not pay full tu1“°"- 1“°"“Our board of directors feels "ve*y strongly that every parent pays something—at least part^-of the tuition,” Dietel adds. A full-fledged, 12-member board of directors is only one of several changes that have transformed the Child Care and Learning Center 1 ■ . 1 i* . .it’s a very expensive process. But we’re going ahead.’ ? \ I In addition, a $76,000 “matching” grant from the Greve Foundation of New York has the potential of boosting contributions near the $126,000 level — potential — because $28,000 more is needed to match the grant. “It's no longer a small operation,” Dietel notes, pointing with pride to the Learning Center’s nonprofit status. Non-profit means that all fluids—from fund-raisers, private contributions, grants and tuition— are plowed right back into expenses. There are no profits—no returns to stockholders, which equal zero. ' For example, in fiscal year ’82*83, the $100,683 budget breakdown was: • Seventy-two percent for staff salaries and benefits. (The Learning Center presently employs 11 fulltime people caring for 39 children enrolled in the day-care program.) • Eight percent for rent and utilities. • Five percent for food. (Children are served nutritious lunches and snacks.) • Five percent for miscellaneous expenses. • Six percent for equipment. • Four percent for supplemental expenses. “If there were a surplus, equipment would need to be replaced,” into a 8 mall-community phenomenon!. The board sets policy for the Learning Center. In addition, an 11-member advisory board, comprising citizens and educators, helps determine the dayto-day activities of the Learning Center. Both now are backed by an "honorary steering committee,” more than 20 Rappahannock citizens who have worked diligently to gamer funding for the new building project. The Child Care and Learning Center doesn’t need much—just a few dollars more. Already, sacrifices in the scope of the building project have been made to insure its completion. The building committee recently slashed $30,000 from the price of the facility to be constructed by dropping plans for a more costly, passive-solar,earth-berm structure. The board of directors is willing to do more, if necessary. At their meeting of June 10, the board gave the go-ahead to the building project—even if it means digging deeper into members’ own pockets or going outside to finance the rest of the project. “We’ve discovered it’s a very expensive process,” Dietel says, shrugging her shoulders. “But we’re going ahead.” He Still Helps Via Learning Center By H. W. HOLSCHUCH RappMinaockNcwiCwitrUMtittf Writer" * Stutterers, stroke victims, and people with a wide variety of speech defects have a lot in common. They all can be helped to a certain degree by Sid Gottlieb. Gottlieb is a licensed speech therapist who helps people at the Child Care and Learning Center just south of Washington. In 1973, Gottlieb returned after 35 years as a chemist with the U.S. government. When he retired, he decided he wanted to work with people, rather than test tubes. So, even though he had a doctor’s degree, he went back to college for four more years of graduate study at San Jose State in California, and became a speech therapist. When the Gottliebs (Sid and Margaret) moved to Rappahannock County in 1980, they devoted themselves to helping others. He tutored those with speech difficulties; she tutored the learning disabled. Both took their talents to the Child Care and Learning Center. Gottlieb explains that there are four general areas of speech pathology: articulation, language problems, fluency and the voice itself. Articulation is the ability to make individual sounds. People who lisp, indulge in baby talk or say “wabbit” instead of “rabbit,” have difficulty with articulation. Gottlieb helps these people speak more clearly. Language problems include disordered grammar, or putting the wrong endings on adjectives or adverbs, or on past tense and possessive words. Gottlieb believes that, if these people would listen carefully while other people are talking, they would pick up proper language easily. But a little coaching also helps, he adds. Fluency involves stuttering, talking too fast, running words together or speaking monotone. Gottlieb knows from experience what this problem is like, because he once had a serious stuttering problem, too. Now that he has mastered his own problem, he is able to help others. He says ISHguage should flow like music, with smooth groupings of words. The grouth problem area involves the voice itself. An example is adolescent boys whose voices “crack” as they develop into manhood. Some people speak only in a high falsetto; others can’t speak above a whisper. Some, like politicians and athletes grow hoarse from shouting; others have growths on their vocal chords. And some can’t speak at all because of psychological reasons. Gottlieb’s specialized training has taught him to teach others how to cope with all these problems. Among senior citizens, there are three conditions that lead to the need for speech therapy: strokes, progressive hearing loss, and cancer of the larynx. Sometimes after a stroke, a person’s speech comes back spontaneously in a few months. Still, the results generally are better with professional help. Many people who cannot hear well frequently do not speak clearly. Gottlieb helps through a variety of treatments: teaching them to read lips, or simply urging them to pay closer attention when someone speaks to them. Gottlieb has treated people with speech difficulties who are only two or as old as 90. He also helped a 32year-old woman who had never spoken before in her life. If speech problems exist, contact Mr. Gottlieb at the Learning Center. There is a sliding scale of charges for this one-on-one tutoring, based on a person’s ability to pay. But Gottlieb says that money will never prevent a person from receiving the speech therapy he or she needs. Sid Gottlieb tutors David Norman, helping him rebuild speech patterns damaged by a mild stroke.

Mon.-Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation S.J THURSDAY, JULY 5,1964 Save The Sparkle There’s a tot of glitter associated with the Fourth of July celebration in the Town Washington, known by thousands as the place to be in Northern Virginia on Independence Day. - Most memorable of all—especially for people who grew up here—is the fireworks display at Avon Hall. It brightens the evening with a final blow, and ends the special day on a high note. How many memories can one associate with the sparkle of July 4 fireworks at Avon Hall? Children laughing—and crying; Parents oohing and ahing; Grandparents arm in arm; Teenagers’ first romance; Citizens singing the “Star Spangled Banner.” Are these memories worth saving? Are they worth sharing? Are they worth preserving for future generations? Some say all good things must come to an end. Others contend that all things are possible. Will it be possible for the Town of Washington and the peo pie of Rappahannock to continue the fireworks tradition after Mr. #nd Mrs. Carrigan of Avon Hall no longer .are able? While ■'-many scratch their heads and wonder, the Garrigans persevere year after year—although every year there are some doubts as to whether or not the show will go on. Is the fireworks finale at Avon Hall a show so special that it must go on? We think so. Still, we join many citizens who wonder who—or what organization—will pick up the leadership role, bear the planning burden, and put forth the finances tendered for nearly a quarter century by the Carrigans. Who cares so much for this bright night? Who cares so much for Rappahannock—for America? It's a question that needs to be kicked around, perhaps by Town Council, civic groups or a special contingent of concerned citizens who can call themselves Americans For Independence Day (AID). Tomorrow will be here soon; who will ensure more memories of yesterday? From Over The Mountains, He Sees Light By After an absence of nearly two' weeks, I returned to Rappahannock County on Friday, May 18. I was apprehensive that I might well have missed the best part of May. I found that I had missed some things. The apple blossoms evidently had come and gone while I was absent, for they were now in green leaf. There was no sign of red bud at wood’s edge, or of wild cherry. The dogwood was still in bloom, however. Golden ragweed was thick in the pastures, as were the buttercups. I found the wild Azaleas blooming where they should have been, along Route 618. The grass in the pasture was nearly as high as the knees of the cows, and the hay in the meadow was ready for cutting. Goat’s-Beard and wild phlox, and Sweet Cicely and poppies bloomed at roadside. A few May apple blossoms still dung to the stems beneath the umbrella leaves. So, encouragedrlJ>ought. tomato plants at Burke’s storewhen T" went to the post office on Saturday morning to pick up my accumulated mail. I decided to check through the mail before planting the tomatoes. 1 was in for a shock. There was no spring-like optimism, not even hope, in my mail. Evidently the prophets of gloom, the managers of direct-mail programs, don’t know how the seasons run. First, I opened a letter from The American Sentinel, warning me that American children are being brainwashed and that unless the process is stopped, and our nuclear arms build-up continued, we and the children may eventually be destroyed by Seviet nuclear arms. Offsetting this letter was another, from the Community for Creative NonViolence, suggesting that the only way we can escape noslear destruction is to stop building nuclear arms. I received an appeal endorsed by Katherine Hepburn, asking%t support for population control, in some form or other, and restating the Malthusian theory that the world would be destroyed by excessive numbers of people. Countering this appeal was one from Right To Life, asserting that population control, in some forms, would destroy civilization. The choices were not easy. There was a letter from The Committee to re-elect Ronald Reagan, making predictions of dire things to come if he is not re-elected. Discounting the latter was one from the chairman of the Democratic Party, telling me that he “thinks I will agree with him” that the re-election of Ronald Reagan might well be disasterous for the nation. Also, James Watt, former Secretary of the Interior, signed a letter telling me that President Reagan is a voice Pott, author, former V. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F. T. Valley near Slate Mills. in the “wilderness,” which critics of Watt said he was about to destroy. The Watt appeal for subduing the wilderness, his defense of land, mineral, and forest policy, was balanced by a letter from National Geographic, which urged me to buy a book entitled Our Threatened Inheritance so that I will know what that inheritance is, how it is threatened, and what to do about the threat. There were three letters telling me that I could and should not »"■«* the press, generally, but that the publication recommended for subscription in the soliciting letter was reliable. There was a letter from the American Heart Association asking for contributions in support of research in heart disease. Though there was no clear counter-appeal to this, there was a distracting lead article in Executive Health, entitled, “On That Treacherous Gland...Your Prostate (An Update).” I decided that I had had enough of warnings and admonitions, and was about to throw the rest of my mail, unopened, into the waste basket, when I was distracted by the barking of my dog. I went out to investigate. I found that a large, green Cadillac, of some years’ service, had been driven into my driveway. I thought that it might be a bottle-gas salesman, or possibly someone intent on selling me a Culbgan water-softener system. It was neither. It was a Jehovah’s Witness who had come over the mountain from Luray, in Page County, Virginia, to warn the people of Rappahannock County of the signs and portents of the destruction of the work! and the coming of the Kingdom. I listened to his message, to his quotations from the bibie with rising optimism. I told him of the depressing mail I had just been through and how his words had uplifted my spirits. I bought three pamphlets from him, and told him that I, in the spirit of trust and hope, was going to plant my tomatoes, hoping for one more crop, at least.

I i Gel Big Picture On Pollution Problem To the editor This letter was sent to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, and may be of interest to readers. William J. Keim ^"To the Board of Supervisors: First, we must note that as Colonel McNear stated a few years ago when he was zoning administrator, “the Entrepreneurs are here.” We are faced with a group of speculators or their successsors who failed to make their “stake” pay and now seek other means to recoup and make a “strike.” I submit that other, better sites are available for the construction proposed. I side with the Rush River valley residents and those who fear possible contamination of their water supply and would never approve this project. However, and much more timely and important, the EPA spent $25 million and five years to find that the greatest estuary in the world, the Chesapeake Bay was in very bad shape. The failure of the Blue Plains Sewer Treatment Facility last spring dumped about 25 million gallons a day of raw sewage for six months into the Potomac. Now, of course, we see vast algae growth being fenced off. The Bay hurts. The Governors of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia met some months ago, recognized the problem, and pledged funds to start the cleanup. Maryland legislators provided $13.8 million and many new, tougher laws. Governor Robb requested $6 million for funding through 1964-86, and established many new executive branch programs to help the Bay. The „ Legislature wisely added another $4.4 million and an extra $2.9 .million for other measures, a total of $13.3 million for two years. Pennsylvania pledged $2 million to help farmers reduce pollution runoff into the Susquehanna River and additional programs to help clean up the Bay. Currently, the Bay’s fish and shellfish alone approximate $766 million annually and provide directly and indirectly employment estimated at more than 500,000 people, including related industries. USS 341 proposes $10 million for each of four years, if states match the funds, with Reagan administration backing. Which brings me to an initative I propose and earnestly hope you will adopt. 1 propose that the Supervisors of Rappahannock County take a lead position in this state and declare an indefinite moratorium on any proposal of construction whisk osiild possibly or probably contribute to the degradation of the Bay. First and foremost is a prohibition against the downgrading of any stream. 1 This is your Opportunity to be recorded in the annals of environmental history as men of vision. WILLIAM J. KEIM Amissville Harris Hollow Resident Writes ‘Legend’ To the editor. Please consider my “Legend of Harris Hollow: Fact or Fiction?” for publication. John Clark, Jr. Almost exactly a century ago in a quiet, peaceful valley at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a monster arose on the side of a mountain. It gobbled up trees as if they were pretzel sticks, leaving behind giant mounds of earth and a scar on the mountain that could never be repaired. It roared down the mountain destroying everything in its path, hitting Rush River with such force the shock waves alone killed every trout for miles in both directions. A ' ‘ Bowles Sees Through Democrat Eyes To the editor As I saw him there with my own two Republican eyes, I know that Mr. Bowles was at the convention in Hampton, so I must say that either he should take better notes or be more careful about how he reads them. Yes, Wyatt Durrette’s speech was a stemwinder. Yes, he was greeted with a “foot-stomping full-throated roar of approval.” But the speech was not the cause of that reception, as he' Slowly, but surely, it made its way down the valley contaminating the water and forcing people to flee. Even the giant sycamores withered and died. The first Washington of them all was completely destroyed — the people all poisoned by their own drinking water. Rock Mills and Castleton were forced to evacuate: The people of Remington prepared for the worst. Today, June 21, 2084, the Russians announced they were thinking of destroying their entire Nuclear arsenal; they no longer need them. A monster called development has destroyed the United States. JOHN CLARK, JR. Harris Hollow says it was, it was the readft dHt As Mr. Durrette told us later (I am not quoting him; this is the gist of what he said), no man could experience such a reception and not reply with the" beet that was in him. As for the statement that the whole business was “half-spontaneous and half-engineered by Durrette’s efficient campaign apparatus,” I can only smile. As I said in my first paragraph, Mr. Bowles should have paid more careful attention to what was really going on. EDITH POND Sperryville From Both Barrels Northern Virginians Want Democratic Primary By GEORGE BOWLES Next year, for the first time since 1977, Virginia Democrats might ehooee their nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general by primary elections. The movement to return to the primary method of making nominations instead of the convention method is said to be picking up considerable support among moderate and conservative middle-level party leaders. It is a development which has disturbed the state’s top Democratic strategists and which is expected to be strongly contested by state Democratic Chairman Alan Diamonstein and others dose to Gov. Chuck Robb. The growing sentiment for a primary is doubly astonishing because it is coming from an unlikely alliance of liberal leaders, mainly from Northern Virginia, and political pragmatists of the party’s right and center. The Northern Virginians have consistently supported the primary as a matter of principle. But in the past the pragmatists have always seen conventions as the least divisive as well as the least expensive way of choosing candidates. The method which will be used will be decided by the Democratic State Central Committee at a meeting later this year or early in 1985. The party’s liberal wing is badly split over the primary versus convention question. On the one hand, a primary opens the nominating process and involves a larger segment of the voters in choosing candidates. This, of course, is a cardinal precept of the liberal faith. On the other hand, however, liberals know they are likely to have a far stronger voice in a convention, the delegates to which are generally to the left of the party’s mainstream. For the latter reason many liberals, and especially many blacks, are highly suspidous of the groundswell of support for a primary. They see it as a lightly disguised effort to negate the impact of the large numbers of new black voters who signed on the voting rolls as a result of the massive registration drives conducted by the boosters of the Rev. Jesse Jackson. These new voters could exercise far more influence as convention delegates chosen at easily packed mass meetings than as voters in a primary election. Beyond that, however, convention supporters see other reasons for not returning to the primary. They note, correctly, that primary elections drain off vast amounts of available Democratic campaign cash which could be better spent in the general election race against the Republican candidates. They believe, with some justification, that primaries stir deeper intra-party passions and leave more lasting scars than do conventions. They also note that in Virginia’s “open” primaries there is nothing to prevent Republicans from coming in and voting to “set up" the weakest Democratic candidate as an easy GOP target in the November election. Significantly, the known potential Democratic candidates for the party’s nomination for governor are not hostile to the primary proposal. Del. Richard Bagley of Hampton openly supports the idea saying it would broaden the base of the party and open up the nominating process. Sources close to Attorney General Gerald Baliles, Lt. Gov. Richard Davis and Sen. Hunter Andrews of Hampton say all three men personally “lean toward” the primary method of nomination. Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond, who may become the first black in Virginia to receive a major party’s nomination for statewide office, makes no secret of his interest in running for lieutenant governor. Understandably, he prefers a convention. In spite of the rationales advanced by the advocates of the primary, many political observers are convinced that their main reason for wanting to dump the convention method is the near disaster the party suffered at its most recent conclave in Norfolk in May. “It was totally out of control,” said a senior Democratic state official. “A convention like that next year could nominate a bunch of liberals who wouldn’t have a prayer of winning in November. It’s too much of a chance to take in a year when we’re electing a governor.” Thus, before the Democrats get down to the business of nominating their candidates, they have to decide how it will be done. This alone appears likely to turn into a rruyor political battle before it is settled. But how it is settled—and how much blood there is on tKe fWor when the fight is over—could bear importantly on which party occupies the Governor’s Mansion and the other statewide offices after the elections of 1985. Help Support UNICEF By Writing To the editor Sure, the recession has made it rough on Americans the past few years, with the poverty-level' population increasing from 29 million in 1980 to over 35 million at present. This has been a painful but endurable experience for us. But outside U.S. borders, there have some actually horrifying developments which worsen with each passing year. UNICEF, reports that in 1983 alone, 21 million children died, most in Third World countries. The sheer immensity of the problem almost overwhelms the mind. Some nations lose, during the first year of life, more than 150 of every 1,000 five births. UNICEF, for lack of sufficient funds, has been fighting a losing battle to improve these statistics. They contend that with additional money from the First World they could save the lives of 10 million children a year. They could extend a strategy which they have found to be very effective in the past several years. This strategy, in 1982 for example, involved the use of 900,000 volunteers whom UNICEF trained in basic sanitation, nutrition and health care. These “educated ones” went out on foot to villages to teach and motivate their neighbors—and achieved excellent results. But limited funds prevented widespread use of this system. If you think the 21 million kids, which will be lost in the year of 1984, are worth a few moments of concern, there is a very effective way yQU can help. Simply, exercise your citizenship and write a brief note to your senators, care of the Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. Ask them to support the Human Needs and World Security Bill. This legislation allocates $250 million to Third world health care and related development efforts. This amount, $1 per American over the next year, is an almost unnoticeable sum when compared to the billions of “security” aid we presently give. Here at home we obviously have many domestic problems deserving our attention, but at least here most of our children make it to adulthood. DICK FISTER Elsmere, Ky. Looking For Tokens To the editor I am a lover of history and I have a somewhat unusual hobby. I collect old tokens used by stores, barber shops, lumber companies, saloons, forts, and other businesses years ago. The tokens were "good for” (1.00, 50<, 25«, 12c, or such in trade or merchandise or “good for” loaf of bread, one drink, one shave, one ride or whatever. They were usually made of metal, and while having the general appearance of a coin, *wy were made in all shapes and sizes with some picturing elephants, cows, birds and buildings. I have reason to believe that some mt these tokens went used in your area and I would be most interested in obtaining some of them fur my collection. I know that this request is relatively unimportant but I do get a great deal of enjoyment from my hobby and I do believe that these concrete reminders of our great heritage are worth preserving. I would like to hear from anyone having one or more of these tokens or from anyone that might be able to help me. Any help that you can give me of any kind is greatly appreciated. I now live in Texas and my address is Travis Roberts, Box 1168, Bellaine, Texas 77401. Thank you in advance and best wishes. TRAVIS ROBERTS Box 1168 Bellaire, Texas 77401 Correction Last week we inadvertantly listed Martin Woodard as coach of the Rappahannock Babe Ruth teams. While Woodard, as president of the RAA, oversees Babe Ruth, Robert Jenkins and Strother Brown, both of Sperryville, are the coaches of the two teams.

Center’s Variance Binds BZA (Continued frajn Page 1) approved the subdivision in response to arguments that the lot was indeed suitable for building; that the board had approved the special use permit on the basis of different plans; and that a legal precedent in a Virginia Beach case had been etablished when the Supreme Court reaffirmed the local board’s variance denial by setting the definition of a hardship. The court had ruled that the hardship has to be approaching confiscation, meaning that the owner is almost denied any use of the land without a variance. Baumgardner, who had attended the meeting only in his role as the adjoining landowner, formulated an onthe-spot rebuttal to Konick’s three points. At the time of subdivision, he argued, the owner was not required to prove that the parcel fully suited all his building needs. The owner must satisfy questions of right-of-way, slope and sanitation. Further, Baumgardner said, it is not necessary for the Board of Zoning Appeals to make inquiry into the intentions or representations of the applicant at the time of the subdivision. “Nothing prevents the landowner from doing something with his land even after finding problems with the land,” said Baumgardner in response to Konick’s second point. “And, again, it is not necessary for the board to investigate their previous representation.” Regarding the question of hardship, Baumgardner said that the precedent cited by the zoning administrator did not apply. “There are definite marshy conditions here,” he said. ‘These people could not get their plans in a final form until they they took the charAuthority May BorrowMillion (Continued from Page 1) ment to be placed in the Rappahannock News, notifying the public of the resolution passed regarding the borrowing of up to $1,000,000. he said that the public notice was to advise citizens so that they could appeal the decision. He stressed that the grounds for appeal were limited to the validity of the resolution. After an executive session held to discuss land acquisition, the WSA passed in public session a resolution allowing Baumgardner to acquire the right of way over the property of Roy Alther to the easement and land previously acquired by the Authority from the Millar estate. The final portion of the meeting dealt with establishing an agenda for the July 16 meeting, a meeting that the Authority agreed would center around questions for the project engineers. Cilimberg agreed to draft a letter to Hank Gerhardt of Buchart-Home, outlining major concerns to be addressed in July. The concerns were: • When the engineer would be ready to go to bid; • When he could furnish a final and accurate list of the property owners involved, both those whose property was involved in the main collection line and those on the lateral residential lines; • When the engineers would provide a revised schedule resulting in construction by the November, 1984 deadline; • What recommendation would the engineers make for on-ground procedures for locating proper placement of each septic tank. The board discussed concerns expressed by Sperryville residents at the June 27 public meeting at the Sperryville Fire Hall. “Our job is to provide this service,” said Bob Dennis, WSA Chairman. “If people think they should be excluded from the system, then they should get an exception from the health department or State Water Control Board.” Baumgardner reminded the Authority members that 100 percent of Sperryville wells had been marked as not approved by the health department. “This is a pretty telling statistic,” he said. The board also discussed what to do about homes without existing bathrooms. (A previous grant had provided bathrooms to some homes as a step in dealing with the health hazard.) Carson Johnson said that some of the landowners renting out homes to tenants had not met the income qualifications for bathroom construction. In these cases, the Authority would still install the lines and septic tanks but the owner would have to put in a bathroom or face closing by the Health Department. Authority Addresses Residents9 Questions By THERESA REYNOLDS bMtbuuiork New* Special Writer At a public meeting held June 27, Sperryville residents asked questions about the long-awaited sewer system now in the pre-construction stage. “We’re shooting for a monthly user fee of $12 to $15,” said Bob Dennis, Water and Sewer Authority chairman, in response to question about cost to residents. “The operational costs will be borne by the Authority.” Dennis said that (Continued on Page 12) actemtics revealed to them into consideration.” James Swindler, BZA representative to the Planning Commission, said that the planners should have the opportunity to hear the legal arguments aired at the meeting. At this point, Kramer announced his decision not to vote until he could study the legal arguments. Board members agreed to resubmit the variance request to the Planning Commission and to hold a special meeting, if necessary, to consider the variance again. The board considered the request of Lois Settle to build a used car lot and small office building on her lot in Amissville. The BZA had heard Settle in May and sent her request back to the planners for a specific recommendation. The Planning Commission, in their second hearing of Settle’s request, recommended that the BZA deny it because it was not a use permitted and that it was not consistent with the comprehensive plan. “Do you mean that if I wanted to build a garage, it would be permitted?” asked Settle. She asked the Board how to go about a rezoning request. Swindler reminded her that years ago the planners had met in Amissville to consider a rezoning and the people overwhelmingly asked that Amiss ville stay agricultural. The board voted to deny the special use permit. In other business, the board; —Approved the special use permit for Leon Hutcheson to erect a temporary mobile home while constructing a new home at Blue Rock Farms; —Approved a special use permit for a mobile home for Aoril and Frank Strickler for a mobile home during contraction; —Approved the extension of • special use permit for Charles and Russell Kilby to complete construction of a dwelling in the F.T. Valley; —Heard concerns from Harris Hollow residents who appeared unadvertised at Wednesday’s meeting to determine the limits of the board’s control, if any, on the existing special use permit granted to Sam Snead for the old ski area.

This is possible; however. it is rare and a special type of occurrence. Actually. people develop symptoms from their misaligned feet and begin to notice them at that time. The importance of flat feet is not their appearance but how they function. There are two major joints in the foot that dictate the appearance of the arch and if they are not functioning well we believe today that this is the basis for many other foot problems. We are not surprised if we allow our cars front ends to stay out of alignment that the ball joints and tires wear out; why are so many people surprised to learn their bunions, corns and callouses can really stem from the same reason.

I By spending a smaller proportion on food, more money can be on other things. The percentage of disposable personal income spent for food differs among income groups. Low-income families spend a larger proportion of their income for food than do higher income families. Americans last year spent $312 billion for food produced on U.S. farms. Of that amount, farmers received about $84 billion, or 27 percent. Navy Airman William C. Lancaster, Jr., 9on of Rev. and Mrs. William Lancaster, has returned from a six month deployment.

Throw Back The Big Ones By FRANKLIN SCHMIDT Rappahannock Newt Sports Writer Rappahannock County used to 'ta number of stocked streams but nore. When asked about fishing in Rap>a an nock, Jim Bankston, game wartold Rappahannock News that lie abuse, creating many cornlints, caused the Commonwealth to t p stocking the public waterways. w, says Bankston, there are ho t earns stocked by the State. The only to fish is by written permission m a private pond owner, or stream, Johnson Trout Farm in Old Hollow, il^, there aren’t very many fish in t rivers, he states, the North Fork of Thornton, which runs through nandoah National Park has some t^ry good native trout, according to iton, and the Hughes offers some mouth bass, chain pickerel and is and ends”. The biggest problems, says >ankston, with people who fish their .n ponds, is that they really aren’t ware of proper maintenance proceures. They should, for one, be more rone to let more people who are reponsible, fish their ponds. The ecological balance is disrupted too few fish, too many of the wrong ;ind or the wrong size fish are taken, or example, most people, says tankston, believe that it is better to Jull the bigger fish. Larger fish, particularly bass, are prolific breeders. The larger bass keep the bluegill population in control, and don’t taste as good, believes Bankston, as smaller bass. "Throw the big ones back.” Bankston would like to see land owners encourage other people to fish on their land, just to keep the blue gill populations down. For every pound of bass, three to four pound of bluegill should be taken. Other misconceptions are also rampant. Snapping turtles, says Bankston, are not dangerous in the water. If you keep moving, a turtle will not bite (probably). For the best fishing, says Bankston, go to Madison County, the Shenandoah in Page County, Lake Anna or Louisa. You won’t find much in Rappahannock that’s open to the public. For more information on building a pond, a list of contractors and hatcheries, free supervision during pond construction, and free planning contact Lou Walters or Nancy Utz at the SCS, 825-4200. For free information on how to correct pond problems, contact Birgitt Thornhill at the extension office, 6753619. For information on stocking ponds, call Bill Vemam, forester at 347-7989 or 347-4590.

Family That ’s Together f By FRANKLIN SCHMIDT j ,Toir heJohn (loljow, Spari* Writer .Torn and Kay Johnson, who own ohnson Trout Fishing Farm in Old outside of Sperryville, re«n|y had a friend visit them who used 0 run a similar kind of farm in North lina. The friend’s advice: “grow toKay Johnson readily admits "he/Tl never get rich running this They “have too much ftm to make ilolof money.” 'The Johnson’s, who employ local lents Richard and Linda Dwyer, ee^ their fish farm open all year feu)d. They explain that even in Defen »er people like to try out the rods he) got as Christmas presents. Tom Johnson, a dentist in Manas*s sells his fish (caught on the line by tie customer or netted by one of the ison’s or Dwyer’s) at 20 cents an jc . Because they don’t have a hatch1 y due to limited water, the Johnson’s u t buy their stock fish live, on the <‘ as it were. They buy them big. g i caught under 10 inches are free. Tom and Kay bought the farm be#Jie they love to fish, and thought m; would be an ideal location. They l|lpeve that this is a great way for peoI: to learn the art, skill, craft (?) of I ijing. Tom readily helps all customers. II ly of the city people who come c "n to fish want to know three things i i nediately, “where are the best rest rants, campgrounds and antiques?” Tom will then proceed to advise t m on fishing. “One of the biggest f i you can give the new fisherman,” . nson says, “is how to jerk the pole and set the bait.” He explains that unless you jerk the pole just right you are just feeding the fish. He suggests that baiting the hook is very important. And it is important to learn to use small hooks. If you’re not an expert, use worms, Tom says. MarshmeUows and cheese are good too. It’s a family run business catering to families. No alcoholic beverages are . allowed. The Johnson’s explain that sometimes people make a day of it, and picnic at pondside. Some purposefully don’t even catch fish. Tom explains that occassionally he’s Been expert fishermen who just epjoy the environment and are so good at fishing they know how not to catch fish and are out there just to eryoy the weather, fellowship and atmosphere. These people are rare. Most who come really want to catch something, and inevitably do. The trout, according to Kay and Tom, don’t eat well in the heat. Their ideal survival temperature is 68°. The Johnson’s feed their pond from three water sources, including a well where the water is 52°. In order to help the trouts’ appetites in the hot months of July and August, and to make it more pleasant for the customers, the Johnson’s built a shed right beside the concrete raceways, which keep fish and folks cool. They suggest however, that during the dog days, it would be advisable to come to the farm early mornings and late afternoons. What about the complaint that farm fish aren’t as firm as native trout? Johnson explains that usually this is the case because the fish farms have AUCTION Saturday, July 7th, 10:00 A.M.

Richard Dwyer, Cniz, Jon Ford, Isobel Ford. too dense a population. The Johnson’s keep their population relatively small, bring in fish once a month, and urge the trout to be competitive. “The more competitive, the firmer they are,” stated Tom as he threw them a handful of Purina trout chow and watched them jump out of the water. Tom says that many Rappahannockians fish at his farm. “It’s an easy and inexpensive way to have a fresh fish dinner, and many people don’t have their own ponds or right of way mi a river or stream.” Many of their trout are 18-20 inches and more, Johnson explains. What’s the hardest thing about his occupation, Johnson was asked. “Pulling teeth,” Kay said with a grin. Striped Bass Decline Effective July 1,1984, the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament will no longer recognize striped bass as a species eligible for citations. The action was taken following a June 26 meeting of the Tournament Committee with representatives of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Economic Development. The Committee’s action is a response to the serious decline of this excellent sport fish. Citations will still be awarded to those who have entered striped bass prior to July 1,1984.

MICHAEL HEAD AnwW Writer The Fauquier Youth Baseball Board of Commissioners has ruled three AmissviUe teams must forfeit all games this season alter an apparent rule violation involving use of 13 ineligible players. The teams, representing the Rappahannock County community of AmissviUe in Fauquier’s Minor League and Midget League, allegedly have used players from Culpeper County in violation of the program’s bylaws, Fauquier Youth Baseball Commissioner Terry Arbogast confirmed Monday. The bylaws state in an agenda on page 3 under a paragraph on team rosters: “No player residing outside Fauquier County can participate in the Fauquier County Youth Baseball Program with the exception of the AmissviUe teams. (Players must be from Rappahannock-Fauquier County).” The Fauquier Youth Baseball Board of Commissioners made the ruling June 20 after conferring with AmissviUe officials twice, Arbogast said. AmissviUe fields two teams in the Minor League (for kids ages 6-10) and one each in the Midget League (ages 10-12) and the pee Wee League (ages 13-15). Arbogast said there were nine ineligible players on the Minor League team and six on the Midget League team. The Pee Wee League team is not affected, Arbogast said. ine Amissviue teams win lose all victories won so far this season and forfeit all remaining games in which the ineligible players are used, Arbogast said. The Board of Commissioners will allow the Amissville teams to complete the season traveling to Fauquier for all games. Also, the teams may compete in the leagues’ playoffs, Arbogast said, if they reorganize the teams without the ineligible players. “We had to do it for the integrity of the, lepflies and to protect the integrity of the kids involved,” said Arbogast, explaining the controversy. “We didn’t feel it would be in the best interest of the kids caught in the middle of this to throw them out of the league or to get rid of the coaches in midseason,” said Arbogast of the Board of Commissioners’ decision. “I’m not going to come out and say it was a blatant violation of the bylaws, but if they didn’t know about it (the residency rule), it’s not the board’s fault,” said Arboipst. The Amiss ville #1 team in the Minor League had a 6-0 record when the ruling was made and the Amissville #2 Minor League team was 1-5. The Amiss ville Midget League team’s record was 5-4. Amissville officials admitted the use of ineligible players, according to the bylaws, but denied any intentional violation. "It was a mistake and we’ll take whatever punishment they give us. Just give us a chance to get in the league next year,” Dodson said. “No one was trying to cheat anybody,” said Amissville Midget League Coach Bill Settle Monday. “We never really questioned where anybody lived, we’re just trying to have the kids in our community up here playing ball. ” Ortho SpeciaTo^^-^ The Week— Sale Prices Good July 5th-14th •Concentrated spray gives fast knockdown and kW. •Also controls ants, earwigs, clover mites, certain other insects.

Another religion is me commodity the world did not need. It’s true, there have since been countless attempts to construct a system of religion upon the teachings of Jesus. However, religion is far too predictable and restrictive to contain the likes of Jesus. Religious systems tend to divide people; sometimes across a battlefield. But Jesus tried to bring people together; to break down the walls of bigotry and misunderstanding. Religion tends to make us stoic and exclusive. But Jesus came to make us sensitive and accessible; to open up our faces. As a matter of fact, it was Jesus’ shattering expose of the religion of his day that assured his own execution. It was the devoutly religious who put Jesus to death. The words of Simon Peter are to the point: “(You) killed the prince of life.” One of the real surprises on this theme is the rare use of the word “religion” in the New Testament. Only three times does the word itself appear, and two of these are in a negative sense. This is a little unsettling for one grown accustomed to Christianity as a religion. Jesus is credited today with having founded about the greatest religious movement in human history. But the very book devoted to his life is virtually silent mi the subject of religion. It becomes apparent that “religion” needs to be reexamined. Someone has equipped: “As all rivers lead to the ocean, so all religions lead to God.” But all rivers don’t lead to the ocean. The Jordan River and its tributaries flow into the Dead Sea, and evaporate! And, after one look at the life of Jesus, we are left wondering if any religion leads to God. If the Christian faith is merely a set of rules to live by, then we have nothing more than a sect of Judaism. If the creed we affirm (written or unwritten) is our merit badge to acceptance, then we have reduced the faith to an intellectual consensus. Actually, a person’s religion reveals more about the person than about God. For example, if someone is trying to appease God, this immediately uncovers an erroneous concept of God. Once assured of God’s love, appeasement becomes unnecessary. So a religion of appeasement assumes a reluctant and unfriendly god. But in spite of all this, we humans are incurably religious. All of us have religious faith. Religion offers a sense of order in a chaotic world. Religion is often a defense mechanism, enabling us to cope in a difficult situation. Our religion also provides a circle of friends and a sense of belonging. Unfortunately, most of us catch ourselves judging others on the basis of religious beliefs. Jesus, on the other hand, refused to pass judgment on anyone; even though Jesus was the supreme judge of human character. Religion often takes on some form of superiority. This is one reason why it is difficult to be “in” with religious people. Although my doctrine may be proper and fundamental, if I see a single human being a one who does’t really ount, all my religion is only a front. The feeling of superiority is not from the Lord. Somehow we Christians have become convinced that to believe all the right things is to become a Christian. If we agree with certain bibilical propositions, we are declared to be “bom again;” but all the while forgetting that the demons of the New Testament possess this same faith! Lip service to doctrinal formulas, no matter how scriptural, is still only another form of religion. If all this is true. I might ask, what then does determine whether I am a Christian? Is not sound doctrine a must for any Christian? In answer, I can honestly say that what makes me a Christian is not what I believe, (though that’s important) but what really makes a Christian out of me is who I believe. I am taking God’s word for it. I am daily submitting myself to the authority of the "who” of my existence: Jesus Christ. It is Jesus who makes the difference in the way I live. It is Jesus who leads by his Spirit through his people and his Word for the improving of my doctrine. I am set free from any obligation to a doctrinal technology. I am set free from any model other than the true image of God in Jesus Christ. I am free to approach every person as my equal, made in God’s image. I am truly free from religion. Either we are communicating religion or Christ to our world. Most people aren’t rejecting the Lord. They don’t even see the Lord! What people do see is our religion sticking out all over. Is that really all we Christians can offer?. . . a competitive religion? If Jesus can be thought of as starting a new religion, his is a religion to end all religion. Jesus did not live and die for a religious cause. Jesus lived and died for the world. If Jesus had a cause, his cause was people; people just like you and me.

Day witw SPECIFY WHAT STAYS OR GOES Probably the most important document in the sale of a home is the purchase & sales contract. In order to save a lot of aggravation, post-sale bickering, and possibly law suits, the gray area of which items will stay and which will go should be spelled out specifically in the contract. Know the difference between chattels (which can be picked up and moved without leaving nail holes); and fixtures, which have been attached with the intention of their becoming part of the real estate (furnace, fence, garbage disposal, etc.) Fixtures are expected to remain with the property. Items like wall-to-wall carpeting, smoke alarms and fireplace equipment should be specified in the contract to avoid confusion about what stays and what goes. Two usual troublesome items are the TV antenna and fancy lighting fixtures; people form strong emotional attachments to chandeliers. Don’t get bogged down over such little matters. Simply make sure your offer stipulates that all fixtures remain except specific ones you’re willing to give up.

The total budget of $4,176,284 is up one-half million from fiscal ’83-’84 expenditures. The real estate levy per $100 of assessed value now is $0.50, up from $0.42 last year. Personal property taxes stay the same, $5.60 per $100 of assessed value. The board’s agenda was unusually light, otherwise. The supervisors considered several topics brought to their attention during the public portion of the meeting, among them: e Roof repair at the elementary school. Supervisors, school administrators and engineers still are up in the air about roof repair.

The Resolution was adopted pursuant to authority gramed by the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended.

Two contractors originally had bid to complete the work, E.M. Martin and Texas Roofing Corp. E.M. Martin withdrew its bid July 2, however, when the company discovered it had under-estimated the bid by some $25,000. Assistant superintendent of schools, Thomas Campbell, announced the bid withdrawal at the meeting, and asked the supervisors’ guidance on whether to pursue more bids for the pitched roof, or just go ahead with flatroof repair. “We’d be cheating ourselves if we don’t go with the tapered roof,” supervisor Hubert Gilkey III, said. Other supervisors agreed, and recommended that school administrators pursue more estimates. The problem, Campbell explained, now becomes one of time. School starts August 23, he said, and it’s the contractors’ busy season. Despite assurances by contractors that a flat roof will keep water out just as well as a tapered roof, supervisors stuck by their guns. “No more flat roof—get a rebid,” Nelson Lane chanted. Texas Roofing’s bid for the tapered roof was $32,300. • Sell lot X. The supervisors agreed to sell lot X, .33 acres in Jackson District, for $1,000. The lot was a gift to the county, and due to its size, could only be merged with one of two adjoining lots. The supervisors advertised the proposed sale of the lot in the Rappahannock News, and allowed time for public discussion of the proposed sale to an adjoining landowner, before passing a resolution to do so. No one opposed the sale. • Return trout classification to Rush River. Speaking on behalf of Harris Hollow residents, Nelson Lane expressed the desire of residents to reclassify Rush River as a trout stream. The supervisors tabled the resolution for fiirther study. • New-road approval. Zoning administrator David Konick presented a plat with more than five lots to the supervisors for approval. Authority Addresses Residents9 Questions (Continued from Page 2) previous engineering studies resulting in a higher projected cost to users had been rejected by the WSA. The Authority heard from several residents who were certain that their septic tanks were not malfunctioning. “No one helped me pay for my septic tank,” said one resident who did not identify himself. “I’m not going to help pay for anyone else’s.” Doug Baumgardner, attorney for the Authority, explained that the land acquisition procedure involved two categories. One, the main collection (sewer) line, which includes only a few parcels of land. No landowner, he said, could be required or compelled to allow a main line on his property. The second category is quite different, he said. It includes the lateral lines and septic tank installation. Everyone in the project area identified by the health department and State Water Control Board must hook on to the system. “The ordinance provides that individual landowners can be required to hook on,” Baumgardner said. He added that the residents who do sign a user agreement prior to construction do not pay a hook-up fee. Alson Atkins wondered if a pump lyikflin Vmi liAQMMffy MHpw could this be cheaper than a gravity flow?” he asked. “I just don’t see any sense in pumping water downhill” Hank Gerhardt, representing Buckhart-Horne, project engineers, assured Atkins that it would be cheaper and more practical for many reasons. Bill Loomis asked for the growth potential of the sewer system. Gerhardt said that 20 to 25 percent growth was built into the plans for the system. There were several questions about outhouses, and what would happen to the homes without indoor bathrooms. The Authority did not directly respond to the outhouse questions, but dealt with them later at a special meeting on July 2. Baumgardner summarized for the audience the history of the Virginia Department of Health’s dealing with sanitation problems in Sperryville. In the period between 1964 and 1975, he said, there were three food-related violations, 40 known raw sewage outfalls, 80 percent of wells found contaminated, 100 percent of wells unapproved, and 90 percent of septic systems found failing. These violations and health-related problems, Baumgardner said, led to the critical situation in Sperryville and established it as the fifth most dangerous health hazard in Virginia in a 1984 waste water census. After the informal public meeting, residents met individually with WSA members. All Authority members were present.
