The annual event has become almost as much a fixture of spring in Rappahannock County as the apple blossoms festooning the orchards which-line the race course. The race, which is run along the old stagecoach road from Flint Hill to Washington, has gained widespread notoriety among runners as a challenge to even seasoned and highly-conditioned veteran road-racers. For those runners, the Fodderstack 10-K is just one of the first of a summer of weekends at the races, but.there also are runners who begin and end their competitive season with the local classic. Indeed, a number of the entrants will be making the 6.2-mile trek over the rolling Rappahannock hills purely for the personal satisfaction of being part of the event. Dennis Wingfield, who several years ago decided to run the race to gather donations toward the purchase of a trophy case for Rappahannock County High School will return Washington i this year for another crack at the difficult course. This year, however, his reward “will be just finishing the race.” Mr. Wingfield had another benefit in mind, but funds for that project were obtained elsewhere, so the former high school distance champ will be “going it on my own this year. “The competitive spirit is still there, and finding the determination to finish is an accomplishment,” Mr. Wingfield said. Two local women who between them have plenty of competitive spirit will renew their friendly rivalry this year. In previous races Mary O’Meara and Merrill Strange had tied for the Eva L. Smith Memorial Award for the first female finisher from Rappahannock County. But last year they were both beaten by newcomer Lisa Currie. This year, however, the two women are hopeful that one of them will capture the coveted trophy. “It’s one of the most difficult courses I’ve ever run . . . especially if it’s hot,” Mrs. Strange observed. “I’d be pleased if either one of us fin ished first,” Mrs. O’Meara said “My goal is to finish and better my time.” Mrs. O’Meara failed to finish last year after succumbing to heat exhaustion in the 92-degree heat. This year her husband, Barney and her sister and brother-in-law, Liz and Bruce Ktmiholm from Durham, N.C., will join her at the starting line. Another North Carolinian who has figured prominently in past Fodderstack races will be unable to compete this year is Larry Forrester of Chapel Hill. Mr. Forrester, who first ran — and won — the event in 1982, has returned several years since and last year captured first place in the 30-34 age group. For Mr. Forrester, the event embodies many of the best traditions of road racing. “The event reminds me of the early days... It is well-organized, yet easy-going, with none of the hype of some races.” “It’s a very refreshing element, to know people at the race . . . it’s almost a social occasion.” This Saturday, however, will find Mr. Forrester assisting The Duke University track team at the ACC Championships. (Continued on Page 11) Study: County could handle sludge, septage By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer A study conducted by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission indicates Rappahannock County has good overall potential for land application of septage and sludge. Depending on the pumpout interval for septic tanks, Rappahannock needs between 262.50 and 432.50 acres every five years to dispose of septage and sludge generated in the county, according to the planning district’s report, compiled in consultation with the health department and the State Water Control Board. That leaves the county with 22,943 to 27,731 acres available for additional land application, the assessment concludes. The two tasks addressed in the assessment, which was requested by the county, were: • To determine the volume of septage and sludge produced in Rappahannock. • To determine the amount of land available for application. For the first, the planning district staff members used a formula developed by C. M. Sawyer, director of the health department’s bureau of wastewater engineering. To arrive at annual septage volume, the number of septic tanks was multiplied by typical volume and then di vided by the pumpout interval. The planning district staff, using information from the 1980 Census of General Housing Characteristics and data on building permits issued between 1980 and 1985, determined that Rappahannock has 2,267 septic tanks. “A pumpout interval of three to five years is realistic in areas where homeowners are moderately conscientious about septic tank cleaning,” the assessment notes. According to Mr. Sawyer, the average septic tank volume is 750 gallons. Using Mr. Sawyer’s formula, a three-year pumpout interval will produce 4,250,625 pounds of wet septage or 850,125 pounds of dry. Assuming an application rate of once every five years and a rate of five dry tons per acre, 425 acres would be needed to spread all of the septage produced in Rappahannock County over a five-year period, according to the assessment. For a four-year septic tank pumpout interval, 318 acres would be needed and for a five-year interval, 255 acres. Sludge application would require much less land. According to engineer Hank Gerhart and the Virginia Department of Health, Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant will produce about 46.34 (Continued on Page 20) Park will spray for gypsy moths By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer In Shenandoah National Park, the National Park Service will nse a chemical pesticide for gypsy moth control — a first for the agency. According to David Haskell, resource specialist for the park, 100 acres around Mathews Arm camground, an area under heavy attack by the moth’s voracious caterpillars, will be sprayed by air with Dimilin. The chemical agent, a chitin inhibitor, destroys the moth’s larvae by interfering with their skeletal growth, Mr. Haskell explained. “They fall apart when they molt,” he said, adding that the chemical control “doesn’t bother anything else.” “It only affects those critters that eat leaves that have been sprayed with Dimilin and are forming chitin at the same (Continued on Page 10) REINHART LYNCH NAN THOMASSON DOROTHY CLATER BRAD FISHER EVELYN WILLIS WALLACE CRITZER WILLIAM E. WICKENS Nine candidates on ballot in Washington election May 6 By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer When the residents of Washington go to the polls May 6, they’ll choose from a field of nine candidates, three of whom have not served on the Town Council before. Mayor Peter Kramer is not running for re-election and former mayor Newbill Miller is being considered for the Board of Supervisors seat vacated by the death of Clarence Baldwin (Hampton District). “I can’t serve on both boards,” said Mr. Miller, “and I’m not seriously a candidate for the Town Council, unless I m not appointed to the county office.” Mr. Miller’s absence from the race would leave an opening in the six-member council. Among those competing for the expected vacancy are three new candidates: Reinhart Lynch, Peter Skowronski and Nan Thomasson. Mr. Lynch and Mr. Skowronski were candidates in the last council election. Reinhart Lynch Mr. Lynch has lived in Rappahannock County for 15 years, serv ing as one of the proprietors of the immensely successful Inn at Little Washington for more than eight years. Mr. Lynch is concerned with encouraging a more unified sprit in the town, while “respecting the fact that there is strength in diversity.” “Change in any community in today’s world is inevitable,” he said, adding that, because of his business, he has a lot at stake in helping to preserve the rural character of the community. He’d like to see town problems worked out in a cooperative manner. “As citizens here, we’re all in the same rowboat,” he said. Peter Skowronski Peter Skowronski (no photograph available this week) has owned property in Washington since 1983, but he lived in his family home, the Campion, just outside of town since it was built in 1971. Like many of the candidates, he’d like to see the town stay pretty much the same: “I don’t want to see any real expansion,” he said. “We need businesses appropriate to the town, not factories or industry.” Mr. Skowronski also believes that the town speed limit should be lowered and that the existing speed limits should be strictly enforced: “It’s essential for the town’s children,” he said. He’d also like to see some provisions made for those town residents who have odd or small lots: “There should be some exceptions in the ordinances for them to do something more with their property,” he said. Mr. Skowronski is concerned about finding a source of revenue for the town: “We need to have a source of revenue, particularly for im provements to the water system, but without taxing the townspeople,” he said. Nan Thomasson Mrs. Thomasson, who owns and operates Country Heritage in town, believes those who live and work here should try to make a contribution. That’s why she decided to put her name on the ballot. - “I think I’m in a unique position to discover the opinions and concerns of the townspeople,” Mrs. (Continued on Page 20)

Growth elsewhere will give county more school funding: « By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ktppahnnock New, Special Writer Booming development in fast growing counties such as Fairfax has brought an unexpected dividend to Kappahannock. For the 1986-88 biennium, the county’s composite index has dropped, meaning that it will receive a bigger chunk of state money for education. A locality’s composite index is determined by a complicated formula that — in simple terms — adds true value of real estate, personal income and taxable retail sales and then divides the total by the average daily membership in the public schools. Generally, if real estate values, income and retail sales increase, or if school enrollment declines, the composite index figure goes up, meaning less aid for education from the state. But here, the upward spiral of real estate values, income and sales has lagged behind the average for the state. ■ “Essentially, you’re in competition with other localities (for the state’s education money),” explained Mike Ca)e, assistant state superintendent for finance. “Your composite index will ebb and flow, depending on what’s happening in the rest of Virginia,” he said. “For example, Fairfax County is enjoying rampant commercial development, dramatically increasing its wealth and its composite index. “Every time Fairfax’s composite index goes up, some other county’s goes down.” Therefore, while Rappahannock’s property values, retail sales and the income of its residents have climbed, the climb hasn’t been as steep as in other localities, “making you less wealthy relative to them,” Mr. Cale said. Harold Gruver, also of the Department of Education’s finance office in Richmond, reported that for the 1984-86 biennium, Rappahannock’s true value of re$M estate was $295.5 million, its taxable retail sales were $7.3 million and the income of its residents was $51.7 million. The average daily membership in county public schools was figured at 1,063. Those figures, data from 1981-82, gave the county a composite index of .6583. Basically, that means that .6583 of school costs must be met with local dollars. For the new biennium which begins in the coming school year, Rap pahannock’s decreased composite index of .6149 is based on property values of $299.6 million, taxable retail sales of $8.3 million and income of $6 million with an average daily school membership of 1,032, according to Mr. Graver. Comparing the figures from the two periods, Rappahannock’s real estate value increased by just more than 1 percent, its taxable retail sales by 12 percent and the total personal income of its residents by 17 percent. In the same period, the state’s total increase was 12 percent in real estate value, 17 percent in taxable retail sales and almost 20 percent in personal income, according to information supplied by Mr. Graver. On the other side of the equation, Rappahannock’s public school enrollment decreased by less than 3 percent, approximately the same rate of decline experienced in the state as a wnole. “If your numerators (real estate values, taxable retail sales and personal income) don’t increase at the same rate as the state’s, you’ll get a lower composite index,” Mr. Gruver noted. County soon will know dump’s life expectancy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock’s supervisors will know soon exactly how much time they have left to solve the county’s trash dilemma. Robert Forman, from the Health Department’s Culpeper office of solid and hazardous waste management, has scheduled an inspection of the site on Clifton Clark’s property at 7 a.m. Friday, April 18. On his last visit to the privately owned and operated landfill in December 1985, Mr. Forman estimated that capacity would run out in April. The inspection report on file in Mr. Forman’s office indicates that he found problems other than the rapidly diminishing capacity on Dec. 4. Th^« landfill was cited( for failure to cov*jr waste jtfth six inches of earth daily, & requirement that wasn’t met on three of the latest five inspections. Mr. Forman also called for grading and surfacing of the access road to the dump, a request made as well on two earlier inspections.

Day realtor REPORTING INSTALLMENT INCOME If you sell a piece of property and the money will be paid to you in, say, three equal installments, how should you report the gain on your tax return? You can either report your gains each year you receive them, or you can report the entire gain on your tax return for the year in which the sale was made. Often you can save taxes by delaying your income with an installment sale. On your tax form, the return of your original investment is untaxed, your profit will probably be taxed at capital gains rates, and any interest from the installment sale is counted as ordinary income. However, if you claimed accelerated depreciation deductions, they will be partially “recaptured,” meaning you must now report some of those deductions as ordinary income. According to the new rules, these recaptured deductions must be reported as of the year of the sale a,id not in installments. Be careful: You might have a big tax bill, and not get all your money for two more years. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Asked how often inspections are conducted, Mr. Forman said that in past years, he tried to visit every landfill in his jurisdiction once a month. However, he noted, under former Gov. Charles Robb’s administration, travel allotment for monitoring of solid waste disposal sites was cut, lengthening the time interval between visits to two months or more. Mr. Forman’s records show that the most recent inspections of the Rappahannock landfill occured in December, June and April of 1985 and November and June of 1984. 11! “ AriditVall 'downhill fromvhere,” he said, reporting that the five re1: gional offices for solid and hazardous waste management will be closed on June 16 with inspectors pulled back to a central office in Richmond. “There’s no way we can be as effective. ‘We re the first line of defense against problems with hazardous wastes, and operating out of Richmond, we’ll have a three week response time for complaints,” he predicted. “The set up we have is as viable now as it was 25 years ago (when the inspectors were put in regional offices, often in their own homes),” Mr. Forman continued. “You have a man in the field.

The show is sponsored by the Rappahannock Woman’s Club and will benefit the-club scholarship fund and the Rappahannock County 4-H Day Camp. According to Birgitt Thornhill, the 4-H Day camp is a week-long cmaping experience for youth ages 6-12 years old. Youngsters over 13 work as teen counselors. This camp prepares children for overnight camping at the 4-H Center later in the summer or the following year. The children participate in classes such as woodworking, archery, crafts, sewing, swimming, wildlife, and fishing. They have free time in the afternoon to play ball or swim. “The camp costs are kept at a minimum -— $1 a day per child —and with the help of the community, we will be able to continue this,” Mrs. Thornhill said. One of the great things about the camp is the community support. The camp is run solely by volunteers, mainly parents of the children. “We had 67 Rappahannock youth participate last year, and we hope to have even more this year,” the Extension Agent added. Miller would accept J. Newbill Miller confirmed last week that he would accept appointment to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors as the representative from Hampton District to fill the vacancy left by the death of Clarence Baldwin. In a letter dated March 21, Mr. Baldwin announced his resignation, due to failing health, and recommended that Mr. Miller be appointed in his place. According to law, the Board of Supervisors must elect an interim replacement who will serve until a special election Nov. 4. “Mr. Baldwin told me two weeks ago that he was going to resign, swearing me to secrecy, and asked me if I would take the job,” Mr. Miller said. “I was reluctant but he was persuasive and persistent and got me to agree that I would do it. Not that I don’t want to do the work, just that it’s a tremendous job.” Mr. Miller was Mr. Baldwin’s predecessor on the board, holding the position of chairman. A native of Rappahannock County, he is a real estate agent and farmer who raises purebred Black Angus cattle nationally acclaimed as breeding stock. Mr. Miller is a former member of the Rappahannock School Board, past mayor of the Town of Washington and currently a member of both the Washington Town Council and the county Planning Commission. He said last week that if elected by the supervisors to that board, he will resign from the Town Council but held open the possibility of staying on the Planning Commission in some capacity.

THURSDAY, APRIL 17,1986 Editorials Litter control What prompts the litterbug’s dirty deeds? Perhaps, he suffers some chemical imbalance or some swollen lobe in his brain — sometimes blamed for other criminal behavior. Perhaps, he’s really a “neat freak” who can tolerate no trash in his vehicle and thus quickly disposes of his empty cans and candy bar wrappers by tossing them out the window. Whatever makes him do it, the litterbug was busy this winter. Local roads bear the scars of his wanton slobbishness. We take more notice of Mother Nature in spring, and we can’t help but notice how tattered she is in places because of litter. The illness exacts a hefty price from all of us. The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, for example, devoted $2.85 million and 340,143 manhours to collection of roadside litter in 1984-85. In Rappahannock, the department expended $17,548 and 2,908 manhours on the problem. Imagine what could be accomplished if that time and money were instead devoted to patching pot holes and grading washboard roads. Until we cure the litterbug, perhaps we can best apply our energies to righting his wrongs. That’s what Spring Cleanup Week, April 19-26, attempts. Rappahannock volunteers will take to the roads this weekend to collect litter. Many of those involved give their time and energies to the project every year. They battle to restore the status quo — a clean countryside. For its part, the county pro videa'free garbage bags to volunteers, who plan specific efforts m several local . communities and neighborhoods. You can help by giving your time and bending your knees a bit. And, if you make no other contribution, don’t litter. The Fodderstack Each April for the last seven years, a wholesome community spirit and sense of cooperation have brought Rappahannock citizens and visitors together for the Fodderstack 10-Kilometer Road Race from Flint Hill to Washington. Over the years, the day’s activities have grown. But throughout, they’ve brought enjoyment to lots of folks and they’ve given the county a chance to show off its hospitality. In short, it’s fun. The race also constitutes an important fund-raiser for the Rappahannock Recreation Authority and its good works. Countless Rappahanock folks give their time and energy to make the race work. The details involved in publicizing the event, registering and timing runners, providing water and first aid, controlling traffic, etc. may not always be apprarent to the casual observer. But, the people who perfrom those tasks deserve the community’s heart-felt thanks. And there are plenty of opportunities for more volunteers to get involved in Saturday’s eighth running of the race. Contact Betsy Murray or Diane Bruce at 675-3621 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays), Sandra Brown a 937-8758 (evenings) or Phillip Strange at 937-5858 if you’re willing to help. Rappahannock heritage IT MUST be spring when cherry trees bloom near Washington Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Letters to the editor Support appreciated To the editor: The Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad would like to thank the community for its continuing support. In 1985, we had 187 ambulance calls and 135 fire calls. We were also busy behind the lines with fire training schools, CPR classes, EMT training and regular monthly drills and practices. Being prepared to meet the needs of the community is a continuous effort on the part of the members. Events during the year included our first annual Truck and Tractor Pull. This was a very successful fund-raising event. Two pulls will be held this year. The first one is scheduled for May 31 and the second one will be on Aug. 23. Our yearly carnival, auctions and circus also did well. Fundraising activities on Monday nights are paying on an apparatus loan. The on-going paper drive and monthly dances help to meet our financial needs. All of these events require a great deal of planning and manpower. However, our largest single source of income comes from donations from individuals. The net income for 1985 was $33,781.38. The next expenses were $29,516.62. The newly painted banquet hall is available for rental to private individuals and groups. Please call Jim Woodard at 9375480 for reservations. Apparatus at present include*" a 1967 pumper, 1970 engine, 1975 ambulance, 1984 ambulance, and 1952 Dodge brush truck. We will be putting a squad truck in service very soon. This will respond to assist on auto accidents. Our membership roll includes 35 active members and four life members. We invite anyone who is interested in the fire department, rescue squad, or fund-raising to please come by the station to talk with the members or call James Stringfellow, chairman of the membership committee. Thank you again for your continuing support. SHEILA M. SCOTT, secretary Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad Come on, businesses To the editor: Maggie Rogers’ boundless enthusiasm for the Rappahannock County Elementary School Playground Improvement Project is contagious! With the school children having raised more than $1,500 from individuals, we are now looking for businesses and patrons willing to make contributions of $50 or more to raise the fund total over the $3,000 mark. As a measure of our appreciation to those willing to give so generously, we will carve your name or your business name on the new playground fort. How about that for permanent business advertising? Grace Sims and Moose Hill Enterprises have generously set the pace for larger contributions this week, and we are looking for more businesses and patrons to join the ranks. Please call 675-3757 or 9878271 if you can contribute. Thank you. MARY O’MEARA & CAMILLE HARRIS Playground Business Campaign Chairpersons Courthouse access To the editor: After appearing before the Board of Supervisors to ask for handicapped access to the courthouse, I get the distinct impression that its chief interest in the matter is to figure out how not to provide access. Let me tell the good gentlemen of the board that I am not the only physically handicapped person in Rappahannock County. Judging from discussions and telephone calls 1 have had since my letter to the Bbard was made public, there are many Rappahannock people who need, desire and support easier access to the courthouse and library. One of this county’s most respected people, an elderly gentleman crippled with arthritis, has painfully hauled himself up one slow step at a time to attend board meetings for a long time. A neighbor with a bad back from a tractor accident, a middle-aged woman with emphysema and high blood pressure, a friend who has had a recent operation on her foot — all of these people have the civil right to use public buildings without jeopardizing their health still further. Indeed, one might wonder why the Board of Supervisors isn’t especially respectful of this issue since its esteemed member, the late Clarence Baldwin, had to contend with the courthouse stairs while suffering from extreme ill health. Everywhere in the thousands of communities across America where handicapped access has become an issue, the same events seem to occur: One or more persons petition their local government to provide handicapped access to public buildings, public officials drag their feet, public access is finally provided, and then, lo and behold, hundreds of people who have never or seldom entered these buildings find they at long last have the opportunity to go in and out of public buildings with nearly as much ease as people who are less handicapped than they. (And, though we might not like to think about it, which one of us can predict with absolute assurance that an accident, heart trouble, arthritis or some other physical problem might not happen in the future to us or to our near and dear ones? There are statistics that show that 70 percent of Americans become sufficiently handicapped at some point in our lives, short or long term, to benefit from handicapped! access to pub- ' lib buildings): ’ r The courthouse is a center for public meetings, court sessions, voting, hearings and organizational activities. Handicapped and disabled citizens should not be excluded from attendance and full participation in these public activities. Since the courthouse is presently being renovated, the Board of Supervisors has an opportunity to make the building accessible by installing an entrance ramp and an elevator. State and federal law require than when public buildings are constructed or renovated they must be made accessible for handicapped persons. The construction of a ramp and elevator need not threaten the integrity of the building as a historic landmark. Neither can the preservation of a historic building be used as an excuse for not making it accessible. A balance between historic preservation and handicapped accessibility should not be difficult to achieve. The Board of Supervisors has not yet given adequate attention to achieving that balance. RICHARD ABELL Woodville The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization. Murder trial delayed Tuesday’s trial of a 16-year-old Marshall boy charged with the murder of his 12-year-old neighbor was postponed until Wednesday because the defense attorney hadn’t received proper information on the jury. Leon P. Smith’s trial was to start Tuesday but was continued. It is expected to last until Friday. Smith is charged with murder, abduction and aggravated sexual battery in connection with the Aug. 5 death of Melissa Lee Bushrod. He and Darren King, 16, also of Marshall, allegedly stoned the girl to death. King’s trial is set for May 7 and 8. Under Virginia law, the Circuit Court must furnish defense attorney John W. Wine the names of the potential jurors and their ages, addresses, occupations and employors at least 24 hours before the trial if he requests the information. But the list didn’t contain some of the ages and employers. Drums of waste found At the request of two Fauquier firefighters, a local equipment manufacturer two years ago started delivering 55-gallon drums of used oil to the county’s abandoned landfill between Casanova and Opal. Piedmont neighbors j But county officials hadn’t learned of the practice until three weeks ago when a state Health Department offical in Culpeper told them of a complaint he’d received about the rusted containers. The 14-acre site is used by several Fauquier fire companies for controlled burning exercises. Knowing that, county officals questioned two fire chiefs and determined that Ross Industries of Midland had delivered 22 drums of oil for firefighters to use for training purposes. Ross Industries promptly removed the drums, at the county’s request. However, that still left 41 more barrels, many of which contain unknown liquids. Some contain “contaminated” jet fuel, which also is used for controlled burning exercises. 'Hie county has hired a Richmond testing lab to determine the exact contents of the remaining drums. County Administrator Steve Crosby said the tests will be conducted this week. NAACP decries pick The Warrenton Town Council “misused the black man” when it appointed John E. Mann to the council in February, according to the executive secretary of the Virginia State Conference NAACP. “They wanted a flunky,” said Rev. W. Paul Matthews Jr. of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “It’s a slap in the face to the black community. They said, ‘Here’s your token. We’ve decided who you’re going to have.’ ” Council members didn’t seek the black community’s recommendations on who to appoint to replace H. Thomas Dowell who resigned in December so a black person could be appointed. Mr. Matthews announced the conference’s “full endorsement” and “wholehearted support” of the American Civil Liberties Union’s challenge to Warrenton’s atlarge system of Town Council elections. It wants Warrenton to switch to wards. The case will go to trial April 21 in U.S. District Court at Alexandria. Godfrey rezoning OK’d The first phase of development on Beacon Hill Farm passed the Loudoun County Planning Commission last week, when the commission recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals approve a special exception for a golf course and private country club on 204 acres of the 2,083-acre estate once owned by the late entertainer Arthur Godfrey. The recommendation was not a surprise, because the commission had reviewed the application — separately from the extensive development plans for the rest of the property — during a work session the week before. The vote was 7-0-1, with Dulles Commissioner Carol M. Canngton abstaining because of her former role in the development partnership. Chairman John A. Stowers voted for it, after disavowing any business interest in the project and acknowledging his friendship with one of the partners, James M. Wordsworth, who owns the Festival Lakes catered park near Leesburg. The partnership, which includes former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr., wants to build houses and a resort hotel on the rest of the property just outside Leesburg but those plans require different approval processes than the golf course and club.

These hours represent manning the information desks, delivering mail, flowers, newspapers, etc. to the patients, escorting patients for tests and upon admission and discharge, keeping the gift shop open and taking the notions cart and library cart to patients’ rooms. Auxilians also assist the Lynn Care Center residents in many ways by visiting, feeding, crafts, games, gardening, etc. The Auxiliary donated more than $13,000 in revenue to the hospital during 1985.

Henry, a native of Warren County and a graduate of Marywood College with a degree in business administration, has been appointed new Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service director for Rappahannock County. Ms. Henry has been a county executive director for Warren since 1974 and also is a management trainer who instruct new potential applicants on various aspects of management. In March of this year the ASCS offices of Warren and Rappahannock counites combined administrations. Ms. Hemy commutes between Front Royal and Washington, staffing the Rappahannock ASCS office Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ms. Henry is working on a feed grain and wheat program which is a voluntary acreage reduction porgram for producers of wheat, com, grain, sorgum, barley and oats. The required acreage reduction will help curtail the burdensome supplies of these commodities. The signup period ends April 25. Mrs. Henry explained: “To participate a producer agrees to limit his or her planting of feed grain to 80 percent of an established base on the farm.” The base is derived from the average of grain produced in the last five years. Wheat, which is in a separate category, is set at 75 percent of an established base. Another aspect of the program is that farmers will be eligible for com NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock Conty will hold a public hearing at the Rappahannock County Elementary School at 7:30 P.M. on April 28, 1986 in accordance with Section 15.1-172 of the Code of Virginia (1950, as amended) concerning the following public School budget submitted by the Rappahannock County School Board of the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1986.

This gives fanners the ability to hold on to their crops and wait for a better price and gives them currency in which to work with. According to Ms. Henry “the main difference in the program this year is that farmers can use the land not plapted in a conservative mannor, for hay or pasture.” For further details or questions concerning programs applications, feed grain producers may contact the ASCS office in Washington. Widen 211, Estes tells state officials About 4.5 miles of Route 211 between Washington, Va., and Sperryville needs to be widen, according to Rappahannock Supervisor Charles Estes. The two-lane highway is the “main artery” between the two towns and can’t handle the large amount of traffic currently using it, he told highway officials at a public hearing Friday in Culpeper. “This section carries a high volume of traffic,” he said. “It is an old highway” — probably built before 1836. Mr. Estes requested funds for the project be included in the highway department’s six-year plan. But the demands for highway funds are at a premium. Twentyeight people — including Mr. Estes — from nine counties and a city presented their requests during the two-hour pre-allocation public hearing. About 50 people attended the hearing. Virginia has about $20 billion of highway needs, but only $425 million will be available to complete them. “The needs statewide are enormous,” said Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. Friday’s public hearing was one of nine held statewide to determine the “critical and highest priority needs,” he said. “The pre-allocation hearings are very important to us.” Mr. Estes also urged the fourlaning of Route 17 between Warrenton and Marshall in Fauquier County be finished as soon as possible and large trucks permitted back on the highway. The State Highway and Transportation Board banned large trucks from Route 17 until the 10-mile stretch is widened. Many truckers are using roads in Rappahannock as a detour. Because of the ban, Rappahannock County has “all kinds of heavy road traffic and we don’t need it,” Mr. Estes said. “It’s unbelievable the amount of truck traffic we’ve picked up.” PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN.

Va. "Middle Age?" It's an elusive age which no one admits reaching, denies when accused of being there, and resents insinuations as having passed it Dante fixed "the middle year of life at about 35." That squares with the Biblical "three-score and ten" if you divide it equally. But Middle Age is not determined by calendar-year or birthday, but by the position of life. It is not a year but an era. It is that time (position) of life when you are attending funerals of your mentors, saying farewell to your children, and welcoming grandchildren. And it happens at different ages for various people. Your parents and other significant mentors have either died or retired. And suddenly you discover the legacy of leadership and heritage of tradition are in your hands. You turn to look up, as in days past, only to find that family and the lesser-aged are looking up to you! Middle age is being in the middle of whatever is happening in your life and the little world over which you have certain obligations and responsibilities. Scary? Sometimes. Exciting? Yes. Inevitable? You bet! i £ \ h 4 I Sunday Psalm 19:7-14 Friday Matthew 4:1-11 Monday Psalm 119:1-16 Tuesday Psalm 119:33-48 Wednesday Psalm 119:129-144 Thursday Proverbs 3:11-26 Saturday 2 Timothy 3:10-17 Scriptures Selected by The American Bible Society Copyright 1986 Ketster-Wilhams Newspaper Services P O Box 8005.

Keeping tax records By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to keeping income tax records. The law says a taxpayer must retain records as long as the contents “may be material in the administration of any internal revenue law.” That means that some records should be kept indefinitely. The interpretation of the law is that as long as there is a possibility that a question may arise about an entry on a return, you must keep the records that explain the entry. The minimum time to keep records that document income and deductions is until the statute of limitations expires for the return. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can audit a return and assess Thanks, j Convaless! “Now the Home Health Equipment I Need Is As Close As A Phone Call — We Deliver — Oxygen Therapy Equipment The Concentrator is electrically-powered and is designed to deliver a consistent supply of oxygen, therefore eliminating the need for routine - oxygen delivery.

The statute of limitations is longer for under-reporting income. If a taxpayer understates income for any one audited year by 25 percent or more, the IRS can audit and assess additional tax for up to six years. If a taxpayer fails to file a return or files it fraudulently, there is no dme limit. The taxpayer is subject to question at any time, even many years later. Some records should be kept indefinitely. For example, homeowners need all the records relating to major home improvements in order to calculate their gain or loss for tax purposes. Improvements increase the cost basis and thus reduce the tax owed when a home is sold. The records are also needed for casualty losses. Taxpayers should also keep records that document the purchase of stocks, securities and real estate. Copies of tax returns should be kept as part of your records. Keep your W2 and the cancelled checks of your payments to the IRS permanently.

Gypsy caterpillars pose ‘people’ problem primarily By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer Introduced to New England by an entrepreneur who tried — unsuccessfully — to breed a better silkworm, the gypsy moth has been crawling, flying and hitching rides south for the last half century, leaving defoliated trees in its wake. But the leaves grow back, sometimes in just a few weeks. “Like the English sparrow and the starling, the gypsy moth will eventually become a ‘naturalized’ component of the forest community. This process has now begun and will continue for several years,” states Shenandoah National Park’s integrated pest management plan. The plan notes that preferred species on which the larvae feed — particularly oaks — will decrease in number and that “in the long run, this will result in lower gypsy moth population levels.” In addition, the population of moth predators and parasites, which will go up with the number of gypsy moths, will help bring those numbers back down. Eventually, the ecosystem will adjust to the gypsy moth, but in the interim, “widespread, severe defoliation can be expected” with the most significant tree mortality coming in the initial five years of new infestation. It is during this period that action may need to be taken to protect sensitive developed areas and high value natural areas from unacceptable levels of impact, according to the park’s naturalists. In undeveloped wooded areas, balance will be achieved, usually without excessive destruction to for est stands. So, while the moth presents a difficult problem for forest management, it is a problem that can be solved. But for individual homeowners who must watch the heartbreaking defoliation of ornamental trees while being driven indoors by the attack of the larvae, it’s another matter. Gypsy moth caterpillars crawl over everything — homes, outdoor furniture, lawns, walkways and patios — in numbers much too large for comfortable coexistence, and they leave behind an ugly residue. With planning and prudent measures, forests will survive the onslaught. The panic and dismay of the individual landowner and the communities beset by these pests pose the larger problem, essentially a “people” problem. The life cycle of the moth begins in early summer when the female lays egg masses, 75 to 1,000 eggs at a time, usually in well concealed spots — under loose bark, in fissures of bark, under rocks. Eggs hatch as larvae in mid to late April of the following year, at about the same time as hardwood trees begin to bud. The newly hatched caterpillars, hairy and blackish and measuring about l/16th of an inch long, climb to the tops of trees, drop on silken threads and are carried by the wind for distances ranging from tens of yards to miles. Following dispersal, the larvae molt and begin feeding, riddling leaves with tiny holes. Grown now to about a half-inch long and predominantly black with orange markings down their back, the caterpillars feed primarily during the late morning and early afternoon. When they reach about an inch long, they change to nighttime feeders, coming down from the crown of the tree during the day to seek shelter. It is at this stage that they do most of their damage, wastefully chewing leaves off at the petiole. Caterpillars are active from midApril to mid-July when they attach themselves to a surface with silk and transform into pupae. This is also a dispersal stage, as pupal cases are attached to all types of objects and are easily transported. Adult moths emerge in about two weeks and the cycle begins anew. Rappahannock landowners can detect the presence of gypsy moths by girding trees with burlap bands or skirts.

The moth larvae will eat at least 500 species of plants. Their favorites are apple, alder, basswood, birch, hawthome, oak, poplar and willow. When possible, they avoid ash, balsam fir, butternut, black walnut, catalpa, red cedar, flowering dogwood, American holly, locust, sycamore, tulip poplar, mountain laurel, rhododendron and arbor vitae. Their voracious appetites leave yards, woodlots and gardens looking like autumn has arrived early. With light infestation, the effects are generally temporary, lasting only a few weeks until a new set of leaves is produced. But with heavier infestation, trees — particularly those already under stress — may be weakened seriously enough to lose branches or die altogether. Moths (Continued from Page 1) time,” Mr. Haskell maintained. Dimilin, registered only last year by the Environmental Protection Agency, causes a higher mortality rate among gypsy moths than do biological controls, Mr. Haskell said. Aerial application costs between $3 and $10 per acre, depending on the size of the area sprayed, he added. “It’s really pretty cheap for a government agency (to use Dimilin on a site as small as Mathews Arm),” said the resource specialist. “But there isn’t enough money in the world to spray all the woods in the eastern United States.” In addition to spraying with Dimilin, the park will continue a biological control program. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a bacteria naturally found in insects, then cultured and concentrated in the laboratory and turned into a spray, will be applied in moderately infested areas where it is most effective, according to Mr. Haskell. “Bt kills about 70-80 percent of the larvae. It’s like spraying people with a flu bug,” Mr. Haskell said. Shenandoah National Park’s gypsy moth integrated pest management plan notes that mechanical controls (scraping egg masses, burlap banding and pupal case destruction) will be employed in small, low density infestations. In addition, native predators — the white-footed mouse, shrews^ stripedskunljts, toads, frogs arid ground *beetles' — will be encouraged and* wasps that feed on the larvae will be imported. For the long term, “well slowly remove the trees that the gypsy moths really like and replace them with those they don’t,” Mr. Haskell said. This vegetation manipulation will involve swapping oaks — which make up 70 percent of the park’s forest — for maple, white pine, ash and hickory. “That’s a combination that’s very distasteful (to the gypsy moth caterpillars),” the resource specialist noted. Last year, the park had more than two million visitors. As part of the gypsy moth control program, those visitors will undergo vehicle searches in an attempt to slow the movement of the insects. “We’ll check the exposed surfaces that a caterpillar can crawl into — under the license plates, under trailer hitches, under bumpers,” said Mr. Haskell. While the gypsy moth is not native to America, it has been naturalized since its importation early in this century. “It’s now a part of our fauna. It’s not going to go away,” said Mr. Haskell. “Counties and states just can’t spend millions and millions of dollars going out in the woods and spraying bugs. But we want to get them down to the point where they are not as destructive,” tne resource specialist said, adding that experiments with parasite predators and biological controls such as fungus growths will be continued by the park. Although plans call for chemical sprays to be used on only 100 of Shenandoah National Park’s 195,000 acres, the move has drawn opposition. In a letter to Gerald Tays, acting superintendent, the Warrentonbased Piedmont Environmental Council urged that the campground area be closed rather than sprayed. “We understand that Mathews Arm is a problem spot with extremely high egg mass counts, that the area represents a large portion of your camp sites, and that closing it as you undoubtedly must if you choose not to spray would mean revenue losses to you and your concessioners,” wrote PEC president Robert Dennis on April 2. “But we also understand that the revenue losses would be less than two percent of your total budget. PEC urges that you select the option to do nothing but close the campground.” Mr. Dennis maintained that spraying with Dimilin poses “unknowns” as regards possible health and environmental problems. He proposed multiple applications of Bt, a biological control, as an alternative, citing National Park Service policy which states “chemical controls are to be allowed only if (a) (Continued on Page 13)

LAST YEAR’S Eva L. Smith Memorial Trophy winners Frank Reynolds and Lisa Currie Rappahannock News File Photos Trapezoid to play Saturday evening “Trapezoid may be the finest folk ensemble in America today,” said Geoffrey Hines of The Washington Post. “A kind of new-age string quartet, blending folk themes with influences from 20th century classical music and j?iz? . . . Together they create gentle ^“intimate music that plays to the emotions,” said Record Roundup magazine. Trapezoid will bring that music to Washington, Va., on Saturday, April 29, for a concert at the Gay Street Theater, sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the community. The group can lay claim to the title of Virginia Piedmont’s hometown band. Founder Paul Reisler, who plays hammered dulcimer and guitar, lives in Rappahannock County as does Lorraine Duisit, who sings, plays mandola, guitar and bowed psaltery and composes original numbers for the band. Violinist and singer Freyda Epstein resides in Charlottesville. Celloist and bass player Ralph Gordon, who adds a third dimension with his lively clogging, is the lone West Virginia hold-out, but he’s moved closer, just over the line in Shepherdstown. The foursome is riding the crest of a new wave of interest in traditional accoustical music. Trapezoid has been featured on two Emmy-award winning televisions shows: the Public Broadcasting System’s “Ramblin’” series and the Julie Andrews and rudolph Nureyev special “Invitation to Dance.” The group has recorded five albums, one an Indy winner, named best children’s record by the Independent Record Distributors. Trapezoid’s members were the first perfonhers to sell out The Bams at Wolftrap and they play regularly to standing-room-only audiences on village greens, campus quadrangles, clubs and concert halls from Canada to Georgia and Maine to California. Their music doesn’t fit into a convenient slot, they play a broad specti*um: jump blues/jaaz^btaegrass;' African tribal chants, Irish ballads, swing and contemporary folk. They give even old favorites a new twist, changing melodies and harmonies, so that every song has a particular sound that’s uniquely Trapezoid. Tickets for Saturday’s concert sold at the door of the Gay Street Theater, are $5 for RAAC members $6 for non-members and $4 for students. Prior to the concert, which will begin at 7:30 p.m., a selection of special desserts and hors d’oeuvres will be available in the lobby. Junior show and bench trial held The Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association Inc. held their 18th annual junior show and trial April 11 and 12.

Sport Wakefield lacrosse, teams into seasons By HELEN RUISI and LARRY TARR Rappahannock News Contributing Writers Wakefield School’s tennis players have taken to the courts to commence their 1986 season. Both the boys’ and girls’ varsity teams opened their seasons with a match this week against Warren County. Unfortunately for the Wakefield teams, neither was able to gain a victory as the boys were defeated by a close 6-3. and the girls were trounced 9-0. In the boys’ match, although Warren County won by three points, there were several pivotal games. After David Rowzie of Amissville dropped an 8-3 decision in the number one slot, Larry Tarr of Warrenton barely missed victory with an 8-7 loss in the tie-breaker at the number two seed. John Landis of Front Royal and Hugues Steinier of Culpeper cap tured 8-6 and 8-4 wins in the numbers three and four positions to tie the teams with two matches each. Then Shawn Hunter of Amissville dropped a match as did Brian McGushin of Haymarket to leave Wakefield at 4-2 going into the double matches. In doubles, Rowzie and Tarr lost a key match at the number one position by a score of 8-6. But Landis and Steinier combined to capture an 8-6 victory in the number two seed. Stephen Landis of Front Royal and Hunter lost the third match 8-3, closing the series with a 6-3 victory for Warren County. The girls’ team, although not for lack of effort, were unable to win a match either in singles or doubles, thus losing 9-0 to the Warren County team. Wakefield’s lacrosse team opened their season officially with a home match against Woodberry Forest. The less experienced Wakefield team played a strong match but was unable to stop the Woodberry squad, who emerged with a 4-2 victory. Louis Poore of Washington and Marc Foerstemann of Huntly scored the two goals for the Wakefield team. Coach Patrick Duffy was pleased with the performance of his team. He added that he has seen a steady improvement in their skills since the team began practice in early February, and that he is hopeful the squad will see a victory in the near future. The lacrosse team has two matches scheduled this week. They will face Woodberry again and travel to St. James in Hagerstown for another match. DON’T MISS!

This past week the Panthers beat Page County and Randolph-Macon Academy, but lost in Bull Run District competition against Stonewall. RCHS vs Stonewall The Panthers lost their first game of the season last Friday night at Stonewall, 11-4, in a game that was played under the lights. Stonewall exploded for seven runs in the second inning and at one point led 11-0. “We made mistakes in the field, and we didn’t hit the ball like we’ve shown we can,” said Panther coach Jon Heddleston. Stonewall punched out 10 hits to Rappahannock’s seven and capitalized on four Panther miscues. Rappahannock freshman Doug Smith got his initial start on the mound, and was relieved by senior Tommy Jenkins in the third inning. RCHSvsRMA It took Rappahannock all seven innings to defeat a determined Randolph-Macon Academy team 7-6 April 10. The Panthers led 5-2 at one point, but RMA deadlocked the score 6-6 in the top of the seventh before a put out at home plate ended their rally. Rappahannock came back strong in the bottom of the seventh, loading the bases with two outs. RMA walked in the winning run as Rappahannock notched its fourth win of the season.

Opening days are special There s always something special about opening days. There s bow season, regular deer season, dove season, early squirrel season, bear season, and of course, spring gobbler season. Only in the springtime could any two season openers be more diverse than trout season, a week ago Saturday, and spring gobbler season this past Saturday. Only in these two seasons can you see the most fanatical, most devoted, and even the most elaborately outfitted outdoors groups as they take to the woods and streams. Ask any trout fisherman who " among all the fishermen is the purest breed, the finest sportsman, or the grandest gentleman? He will certainly be able to answer. The trout fisherman invests hun' dreds of dollars in the finest graphite rods, the best of reels, line, and the •• finest compartmented flyboxes packed full of the finest and tiniest of ' flies, the best thinsulate lined wad~ ers to fish for tiny trout, while standing on the bank shoulder to shoulder with 10,000 other purists on opening day. I was not able to fish on this - opening day, for which I will never fully recover, as this is the first . opening day of trout season I’ve Outdoors Bob McMeans 439-8364 missed in several years. On the Monday after opening day, I did get an opportunity to at least look at some trout water, and some trout. I had travelled to Front Royal to meet a landowner who had invited me and some of my young shooters to come down and hunt turkeys on his property. After my meeting, I just thought Id take a look at Passage Creek. Passage Creek flows out of the George Washington National Forest through Fort Valley. Fort Valley is one of the prettiest valleys in Virginia, and Passage Creek ranks right up near the top of the prettiest streams in Virginia. On this particular day, a workday and a school day for most folks, I spotted a small group of trout fisher men gathered around what turned out to be a really classy trout fisherman. Of about six men in the group, not one was under 50 years old, and I daresay they had probably a century of fishing experience among them. The object of their attention was a 12-year-old tobacco chewing, real fisherman. This youngster asked me, “Please Mister, don’t tell nobody my name, and don’t dare take my picture. My mom would be real upset if she knew I cut school today.” Dressed in wet and faded bluejeans, white tee shirt and tennis shoes, this boy had waded, stumbled, fallen, probably slipped, slid and clawed his way through enough of Passage Creek to catch a limit of trout — not, in itself, a major accomplishment, but it gets better. This boy had caught two 18-inch rainbows, something many of us have never done, most particularly in one day. Yet, that’s not all. He had caught them all on a $3.99 Zepco rod and reel set, 10-pound test line, and — worms! Spring gobbler season opened this past Saturday on a frosty, falllike morning. After several days of Moths (Continued from Page 10) there is a clear and present danger to the health and safety of man; and/or (b) there is a danger of destruction of significant property or resources and a determination has been made that the control methods of no action, mechanical, cultural and/or biological controls are non-existent, unavailable or unacceptable.” PEC holds that Shenandoah National Park, the first in the national park system to be threatened by gypsy moths since they began moving south and west from Massachusetts, should not set a precedent for chemical treatment. “Millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent over the years on all sorts of control strategies, but the gypsy moth is still with us,” Mr. Dennis wrote. “Though its short term impact may be severe, we believe we must learn to live with the pest . . . We are in real trouble if the National Park Service begins to make management i decisions on the grounds of short term income from visitors rather than what makes sense in terms of ecological realities,” Mr. Dennis concluded, asking the park authorities to set a reasonable example and resist the use of chemical treatment. “Blanketing areas with a spray program has not been successful anywhere and it won’t be here,” agreed Lyt Wood, former Rappahannock County forester who now works as a forestry consultant in the Piedmont region. “But the nuisance impact of gypsy moths is so severe that communities may demand it and waste millions of dollars.” With the exclusion of the spray plans for Mathews Arm, Mr. Wood described the park’s control program as a model for gypsy moth management. In Arlington County, which has a severe gypsy moth infestation, 61 of 7,500 homeowners whose properties are to be sprayed with Dimilin have been exempted, because qf objections to the chemical control. However, this appears to be the only area jurisdiction encountering objection to the use of Dimilin. About 100 acres in Prince William County near Haymarket and Bull Run Mountain are slated to be sprayed and plans call for its use on 1,000 acres in Montgomery County, Maryland. (States intending to employ Dimilin may lose federal aid for their spray programs unless. a federal judge in Oregon lifts an injunction against its use. U.S. District Court Judge James A. Redden banned the use of synthetic chemical insecticides to spray for gypsy moths last year. Judge Redden ruled in favor of environmental groups which challenged the validity of an environmental impact statement prepared “by the U.S. Agriculture Department on gypsy moth spraying programs. 'Die injunction is expected to be lifted upon submission of a rewritten appendix to the impact statement.)

My oldest son, Bobby, and I decided to hunt on a large piece of private land where we would be the only hunters. The woods were perfect — trees in bloom, buds appearing on the forest floor, and signs of wildlife of all kinds everywhere. We saw deer tracks, old rubs and scrapes from last fall, turkey scratchings, croppings and feathers, groundhog holes, hawks, crows, squirrels, and spent a memorable 25 to 30 minutes sneaking up on four little red fox pups. We were dressed in camouflage and these little guys just couldn’t figure out what in the world we were. Sure, foxes eat a lot of quail and rabbits, but these little fuzz balls were just plumb cute. Bobby spotted them first at about 50 yards, and we decided to spend a little time working toward them to see what would happen. 5®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®® EFFECTIVE MAY 1 Haircuts $4.00 at Sperryville Barbershop • and Flint Hill Barbershop HOURS: Flint Hill, Monday only 1-7 Sperryville, Tues. & Thursday 8:30 - 6 p.m. Friday 8:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday 8 to 4:30 p.m. Closed Wednesdays 703-987-8146 ®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®(S>®<SX As we got closer and closer, I made a few low yelps on my turkey call.

School Former Iranian hostage tells RCES students of his experience By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock Newa Special Writer “The thing that is most important is you have to learn to survive,”Col. Leland Holland, former Iranian hostage, told the sixth grade class at Rappahannock County Elementary School on April 10. Parent Vivian Sutton, a Vint Hill employee, arranged the program for Mr. Fountain’s history class. Currently commander of Vint Hill Farms Station, near Warrenton, Col. Holland has been in the Army for 30 years. He has spent five years in Germany, three years in Italy and served two tours jn Vietnam. In 1978 he and his family went to Iran, where he „Was an American Army Attache at the American Embassy. Col. Holland remembered that when the revolution began everything changed. Martial law was declared and there was a lot of confusion and shooting. Forty percent of the 45 million people in Iran could not read or write. Therefore, when the Ayatollah came into the public eye expressing his “religious” beliefs he influenced the populace greatly. In 1979 Col. Holland’s wife and daughter were sent home to America. On November 4, 1979, the American Embassy was attacked by Iranian students and 52 hostages were taken. They were held for 444 days. In 1980 Iraq attacked the country and they are still at war today. Col. Holland told of his experiences during captivity. The sixth grade students were spellbound while listening to the horrifying circumstances. However, a sense of pride flowed when Col. Holland explained how the captives handled the obstacles they encountered. Day after day his legs and arms were tied to a chair and a blindfold was placed on his eyes. He was only allowed up to go to the bathroom, or at night he was removed from the chair but his legs and hands were still bound. His diet consisted mostly of rice and tea. No fork could be used because it was against the Muslim religion. At Christmas 1979, four American ministers came and assured them that things were being done to help them and to encourage them to keep praying. “If you didn’t pray before, you’d start,” Col. Holland said. “On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I had been interrogated for 35 hours. They stopped 15 minutes before midnight and said ‘It’s Christmas, we’re going to stop now.’ ” By March the Iranian students were interrogating the hostages more and more. It was very cold there because the elevation was 5,000 feet. During the interrogations warmly dressed students made him sit in a straight hard chair wearing only tee shirt, pants, and sandals. “They wanted to know a lot of secret stuff that we wouldn’t tell them,” Col. Holland explained. While a gun was being held at his head during an interrogation he asked for pencil and paper. He began to write. They thought he was confessing. When they found out that he had written 39 pages about a little boy growing up in Illinois (his autobiography) they were very angry. “I did this in order to stall for time,” he commented. Consequently, they put him in a basement of a building. “As they shut the door they said to me, ‘Hope you enjoy your years in this room!’ TTiere were four walls and me.” During his stay in this room two doves built a nest. He told his “keeper” Mohammad that when the baby birds hatched he would become a grandfather. Mohammad told the other guards and they came everyday to see the birds. Col. Holland would get to talk with them in their language, Persian. He wasn’t supposed to have any visitors but every day they came back to talk about the doves. “I had somebody to talk to. It was a way I could survive,” he added. Col. Holland emphasized how important it is to study the culture and language of any foreign country that an American visits. A few phrases should be known as well as how to act in certain situations while visiting in that country. The people of the country need to know that the American is at least trying to be one of them. Col. Holland’s knowledge of Iranian customs and language were a definite asset to him during the time he was held hostage, as witnessed by his discussing the doves with his captors. By Easter, he had not had a shower in eight weeks. He finally got a shower and went to another room. Col. Holland was told by an archbishop to write a letter to his family. “I wrote to my wife and daughter about being in solitary confinement and about the doves,” said Col. Holland. His family who lived in Annandale received the letter on a Friday. After returning from church on Sunday two doves were perched on their balcony. The birds nested there for the next two years. They have four pairs of doves living at their present home in Vint Hill. After the first rescue attempt the hostages were moved all over the country for fear that a second rescue attempt might occur. For three nights he was bound and put in the back of a car covered with a blanket and taken close to the Persian Gulf. He was moved a total of 25 times during his captivity. Col. Holland was again put into solitary confinement in a room that was full of bugs and fleas. Two gecko lizards came in every day to eat the bugs. “I started carrying on a conversation with them. I called one Mohammad and one Amod.” It was a way he could survive. Eventually they returned to Tehran where he spent seven months in solitary confinement. While sleeping on the floor one night he felt something crawling on him. Thinking it was a bat he threw it against the wall and killed it with his sandal. In the morning he saw that it was a giant cockroach. “I put the dead roach in a plastic bag and I beat on the door and demanded a piece of paper,” he said. He had a piece of a pencil lead in his pocket that was too small for any one to notice when they frisked him. On the paper he put “Hostages-1, Students0.” He ended up with two roaches, a mosquito and a fly (hostages-4, students-0). This poster was sent to him a few years ago when the Iranian government returned the captives’ personal effects. His life was threatened many times and he was told the fellow hos tages had been killed. This was untrue and done only to terrorize the captives. When they were taken to the bathroom they constantly asked for hot water and a shave. They did this so their voices could be heard by any Americans who were in rooms along the halls. At one point he recognized the voice of someone that he had been told was shot. In order to have some form of communication the hostages devised a secret code which worked by tapping on the walls. The first message that Col. Holland received was from a fellow hostage who had received a letter that said the Steelers had won the Super Bowl. Col. Holland tapped back and asked who lost. But no one knew. “When you’re there for a long time, if they pick on you, you pick back. Sometimes they’ll fire a gun at your ear and your ears will ring for a long while,” Col. Holland commented. When Ronald Reagan won the election the Iranian students were very proud of themselves because they felt that they were responsible for this happening. During Christmas of 1980 they were allowed to ask questions of the Algerian amabassador of Iran. It seemed they were going to get them free. “They night we were released they took us down to the airport and. put us on an Algerian airliner. We didn’t know anything about it until the very last minute. As the wheels lifted up there was a big cheter from every American,” recalled Col. Holland. Col. Holland shpwed the pants that he wore for fourteen and a half months. They were the same ones that he had on when the embassy was attacked. He had mended them with dental floss while in captivity. He also showed an Iranian shirt and sandals that he had worn. They were given sandals to wear so that it would be virtually impossible for them to escape through the snow. Everyone had to wear sandals except for the educator, Dr. Koegh whose feet were too big for sandals. He was allowed to wear shoes. Col. Holland presented a slide show pertaining to Iran, his captivity, and their homecoming. President Reagan presented each hostage with a rosewood box with a presidential seal containing a miniature American flag. When asked how he felt about his captors he replied, “They believed what they were doing but they were all mixed up. The head of the group had graduate from a college in Berkley, California. He was there when they marched against the Viet Nam War. The leaders felt if they captured us that Jimmy Carter would give back the Shah right away. They were wrong — I’d like to seem them punished because they broke the law. But it’s important they be tried under their own law and not ours. I do not blame the Iranian people. I have found that if an Iranian likes you he’ll give you the shirt off his back,” Col. Holland said. An important way the Americans can help during a situation such as this one is to write letters. Col. Holland memorized his first letter from a ten year old boy from New York. The captors burned most of the lett ters because it would boost their morale too much but the fact that the letters were sent shook them up. They were amazed that the American people could rally together like that. Col. Holland concluded, “You learn to survive by taking care of your teeth and skin. You have to eat, you have to exercise. Remember one thing most of all and that is that you’re an American!” BOOK FAIR at Rappahannock Elementary School. Miss Jeanie Waterfield’s kindergarten class with librarian, Lucia Kilby.

Rappahannock News phota/Oteg Turner SEVENTH GRADER T. J. Ketchum trained every day for an hour and a half for the Rappahannock County Chapter of the American Heart Association fundraiser at the elementary school. Anyone sponsoring a student in Jump Rope For Heart is urged to mail in donations by May 7. Second grade ‘Care Club’ By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock Newt Special Writer “I promise to respect all people, all property, and all things by helping in any way I can,” pledged about 50 Rappahannock County Elementary School students and staff during the last three weeks. Miss Susan Wittl’s second grade class has organized a “Care Club.” Prospective members must repeat the pledge and spread care around the school so that it can be a better place to work. Miss Wittl explained the formation of the club. “I confronted my class with the problem of people just not caring. Then we talked about the students not taking care of the lunchroom, for instance. We elaborated on the idea of what caring really was. Then I thought of the idea of starting a care club where only people who care could be members.” “They’re just at the age where the idea of belonging to a club is really great. So I made up a pledge and I decided that we would nominate and elect officers,” Miss Wittl said. Care Club ideas to care about include cleaning up, using bathrooms respectfully, picking up trash, helping someone and doing or saying something nice. To accomplish these ideas, activities such as making a happy card for someone, giving flowers, reading a story to a class, teaching a child, helping with the trash pick up, or cleaning up a classroom could be done. Member Lorien Hargett told how she became a member. “I had to sign a sheet that said ‘Care and respect someone’ at the top. Then I gave it to Miss Wittl. Then I had to take the pledge. Miss Wittl shook my hand and I was a member.” President Heather Legg added, “We had a vote and we put our heads down. I got eight points and that was the most so I won. After I got to be president we said the pledge and I thought it would be nice to put my hand over my heart when I said it. Because when you put your hand over your heart it means you’re promising what you say and because caring comes from the heart.” Marsha Wigington wanted to become a member because she cares about things like cleaning up her room. Member Jason Brown told about some of the things the club has done. “We’ve cleaned up the lunchroom, halls, and bathrooms. We’ve helped people.” When recruiting members for the club Lorien Hargett told about her approach. “I’d teU them the club was about caring, respecting property and helping people. Then I’d tell them that they’d feel glad if they were a member and it would be fun because they could be on a committee. We have a club color. It is blue. One day we may all wear blue and have a party!” Miss Wittl commented, “The committees help them to work in small groups. We also discuss ideas as a whole group and they’re allowed to elaborate on ideas.” Club committees include newspaper, poster, lunchroom contest, announcements, rules and membership. Posters around the school such as “Don’t eat like a pig — be neat” are an outgrowth of the poster committee. “Belonging to the club has created a new awareness for them, not just with our class but of the school as a whole,” Miss Wittl stated. Miss Wittl continued, “As far as leadership goes, they’re responsible for recruiting and so they go to other classes and speak in front of the class and ask students to join. Then they go back to the classes and have the students who want to join say the pledge. This encourages them to be independent, too. I try to let the kids do as much on their own as I can. “It promotes a positive attitude. For instance, it’s easy to complain about the lunchroom and not do anything about it. However, we decided to do something about it by having a lunchroom contest to see who could keep the neatest lunchroom table among the second grade classes. It was a three way tie,” laughed Miss Wittl. “They took charge of this themselves. They were very conscientious to clean up on their own without me constantly reminding them.” Vice president Mike Gilkey proudly stated, “Being a member makes me feel special because we can be nice to people and pick up things. Other people don’t want to do that. We get to wear a badge that says we care, too.” Miss Wittl concluded, “I feel that since we know that I care about them and they care about me we have a very special class.” INVITATION TO BID The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors hereby invites interested contractors to submit bids to provide all labor and materials for remodeling the Treasurer’s Office and Commissioner of Revenue/Zoning Office according to specifications which can be obtained from the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County, Washington, Virginia from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday.

The play was voted the Best New American Play for 1985 by the Outer Critics Circle. The hilarious farce, set at an inn in Georgia, focuses on painfully shy Charlie, played by John Landis of Front Royal. Charlie, while feigning no knowledge of English, learns of all manner of sinister schemes afoot. With the aid of his sidekick Froggy, played by Allen Grimm, also of Front Royal, Charlie sets out to foil the “bad guys.” Several veterans of Wakefield productions add strength to the cast. Tracy Morgan of Haymarket is cast as the inn-keeper, Betty; Shawn Hunter of Amissville and Margot Foust of Cross Junction appear as Ellard and Cathryn, brother and sister who have recently inherited a fortune, and Jason Walker of HayNamed to Dean’s List Pamela R. Clater, Melissa D. Grimsley and Thomas 0. Williams, Jr., of Rappahannock have been named to the Dean’s List at Lord Fairfax Community College. The Dean’s List is composed of all students who complete at least a 12 quarter-hour credit load and achieve at least a 3.2 honor point average. market appears as the Reverend David. Pamela Lynn,the director of the production, and head of Wakefield’s Drama Department, is very enthusiastic about the production and added that it is harmless fun for all ages.

For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT For Someone You Care About_ Potomac Edison’s Third Party Notification Program It can happen! An unpaid electric bill can result in the disconnection of a customer’s electric service. In any such case, Potomac Edison always sends a “final notice” before terminating service. This gives the customer time to contact us in . order to make payment arrangements. However, there are frequently reasons why a customer still may not pay the bill. These could include sickness, absence from home or simply the inability to pay. Because of these and other “special” situations, Potomac Edison offers a “Third Party Notification” program. This service, at no extra cost, enables the customer to designate another person whom we can contact before we must disconnect electric service for nonpayment of a bill. The third party the customer designates may be a friend, relative, doctor, clergyman or even an agency. While the third party is under no obligation to pay the delinquent bill, it does provide an opportunity for some action or assistance to avoid disconnection. Simply Let Potomac Edison Know Who You Want Notified The designation of a third party is voluntary on your part. Only you can determine whether the program would serve a useful purpose in your situation. Should you decide to designate a third party who will receive a duplicate of any possible disconnect notice, please complete the form at the bottom of this ad and mail or bring it back to the Potomac Edison office serving your location. Be sure the form is signed by both the customer and the third party.

Chevrolet— Waanwais 347-9000 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fund campaign honors brave little girl Virginia Raney will be a reluctant viewer of Alex, The Life of a Child on ABC Television next week. The movie is the story of a brave little girl who struggled with cystic fibrosis, the same disease that Mrs. Raney’s son, Greg Swain, is battling. “Alex was an incredible child who never gave up and never really quit fighting. She was a feisty, funny little girl with an enormous love of and zest for life. Alex virtually transcended her debilitating disease and was an inspiration to everyone around her,” says the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s publicity for the movie. “When she died, her family was devastated, but her courage, spirit and hope were captured by her writer-father, Frank Deford, in the book, Alex.The Life of a Child." “I’ve seen excerpts from the movie and I’m not sure I can take it all at one time,” Mrs. Raney said. “I’ll have to tape it and watch it in segments, I’m afraid.” This spring, the Foundation’s fundraising drive will be conducted in honor of Alex Deford. Mrs. Raney, chairman of the effort in Rappahannock County, hopes that the airing of the movie will provide a heightened awareness of the tragedy of cystic fibrosis at a time when contributions may be critically important. “At the fund drive’s organizational conference in Richmond, we were told that researchers are so close to finding the gene that triggers cystic fibrosis. They’re all racing to the Nobel Prize,” Mrs. Raney said. She pointed to the discovery last year of the first genetic marker for this devastating hereditary disease. Researchers believe the dis covery will greatly aid the search to find the gene itself. When the responsible gene is identified, scientists expect it will be possible to diagnose the disease early in pregnancy. It may also disclose ways of treating the disease more effectively. Of the money donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 35 percent goes to research and medical care, 26 percent to public and professional information and education and 14 percent to community services, according to Mrs. Raney. “So a significant portion of contributions collected here will go to research programs, rather than administration.” And research is desperately needed. Cystic fibrosis is the number one genetic killer of children and adults in the United States. It is inherited and incurable. It attacks the lungs and digestive system by producing an abnormal amount of thick, sticky mucus which interferes with breathing and with the absorption of food. Although the life expectancy for half of CF’s victims has risen to 21 years of age, CF remains fatal. One person in 20, or 10 million Americans, are carriers of the gene that can cause this chronic disease. Currently there is no accurate test for identifying carriers. Mrs. Raney will lead volunteers in a door-to-door canvass in Rappahannock which will begin after the broadcast of Alex on April 23. Those who are missed but would like to donate can send tax deductible contributions to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in care of Virginia Raney, Route 1, Box 23, Flint Hill, Va. 22627.

Since 1984, when he helped his mother raise $1,200 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through a walka-thon and canvass, Greg Swain has not had to be hospitalized for treatment of the disease. A fourth year student at the University of Virginia, he will graduate next year and plans to go on to graduate school in psychiatry to become an alcohol rehabilitation counselor. “He’s able to get by with his own management therapy and medication,” Mrs. Raney said. “He goes for physical therapy at UVa hospital twice a day, five days a week. Friends help him with it on weekends. And he’s still playing golf, racquet ball and a little tennis, both for fun and for therapy.” Therapy. It sounds so benign. Frank Deford, in his heart rending book, explains what it’s like: “Although you may understand, intellectually, that cystic fibrosis is painful, incurable, depressing, expensive and altogether horrible, until you have lived with it you can never comprehend how impossible it is.. .Alex’s day started with an inhalation treatment. She would draw in a powerful decongestant mist to loosen the mucus that had settled in her lungs. Then, for a half-hour or more, we would give her postural drainage to accomplish the same end physically. Alex had to endure 11 different positions, each corresponding to a section of the lung, while Carol (her mother) or I pounded away at her — thumping her chest, her back, her sides, palms cupped to better dislodge the mucus. After each position, we would press hard about the lungs with our fingers, pushing in ways that were often more uncomfortable for her than the pounding was. “Some positions Alex could do sitting up, others lying flat on our lap. But a full four of the 11 she had to endure nearly upside down, the blood rushing to her head, as we banged away on her little chest, trying to shake loose that vile mucus. One of her first full sentences was a painful plea: ‘No, not the down ones, Daddy.’ Imagine, if you will, that every day of your child’s life you are required to turn her upside down and pound on her, make her hurt and cry and plead —‘No, not the down ones, Daddy’.” As does the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Mrs. Raney hopes that * the money raised in Rappahannock’s fund drive will help put an end to the heartache and pain she and Greg share with the Defords and thousands of other cystic fibrosis victims and their families. .

Photo courtesy of National Zoo THE RED PANDA’S favorite food is bamboo, and he uses a special wrist movement to eat it quickly. Local bamboo feeds endangered species By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer Bamboo growing in the backyards of several Washington homes has been harvested for endangered species at the Conservation and Research Center of the National Zoo near Front Royal. Most of the bamboo used by the center’s red pandas as food and by the rare birds as nesting cover is donated to the zoo by landowners who have difficulty controlling its rampant growth. Usually associated with Asian woodlands and fields, tasty young bamboo,, is the favorite of the little red pandas who inhabit the center. “It’s their food of choice,” said Anne Eagan, a center employee. Bamboo has unusual growth patterns, and that peculiarity has contributed to the scarcity of pandas — both giant and red — in the wild. All bamboo of the same species throughout the world will bear seed and die at the same time. So, until the seed grows into a plant worth eating, pandas in a particular region will be without their staple. Other items in their diet — birds, eggs, blossoms and berries — are much harder to find. Also, their digestive systems are dependent on bamboo to supply tremendous fiber requirements. In fact, bamboo has been so vital to panda life through the centuries that the animals have a special wrist movement for bending the stalks and a unique way of stripping the stalks with their teeth. No one remembers how the Washington bamboo got started. The plant, really a type of giant grass, is native to America, although not to this region. Some town folks tnmK mat muy stuart, wno woraea at the Beltsville, Md., research station and introduced many types of grapes and fruit trees to his neighbors, may have been responsible. In the years — and it can be a century or so — before the bamboo seeds and die, it spreads beneath the ground and sends new shoots up each spring, so it doesn’t take long to establish a sizeable patch. Ms. Eagan spotted the large bamboo grove and mentioned it tc the center as a possibility as theii supply of winter bamboo dwindled. The pandas were delighted to get it, and so were the very rare birds living at the center, the Guam rails and Micronesian kingfishers. Ms. Eagan works with the birds in the center’s indoor rare bird house and wanted the fresh bamboo to provide care for the shy rails, who hide in it, build their nests beneath it, and use the leaves to cushion their nests. The story of the center’s rails is a fascinating one. In the 1960s and 70s, said Ms. Eagan, wildlife specialists began to notice a decline in the population of native birds on this tiny (10-by-20mile) island. There were six native species in Guam. Between 1982 and 1984, 80 percent of the rails were gone, the kingfishers had dwindled significantly, and three species had disappeared entirely. Ms. Eagan said that alarmed biologists studied the factors that contribute to extinction — the encroachment of man, disease and pollution, but could find nothing to explain such a dramatic loss. Finally they noticed a snake existing in the same patterns as those where the bird loss was greatest. The brown tree snake is not native in Guam, but was introduced by accident or design in the 1940s. Experts found that the snake climbs trees, eats birds and eggs, and exists in the millions on the little island. “Patterns of extinction and proliferation are the most exaggerated on an island,” said Ms. Eagan. “They’re so insulated.” Conservationists were faced with an intriguing task. They proposed to remove enough of the rails and kingfishers to rebuild a population in selected zoos, meanwhile controlling the snake until levels are low enough to re-introduce the birds. They acted just in time: As of now, there are only seven rails on Guam (in a protected facility), some in the Bronx zoo, a few in Philadelphia and 35 in Front Royal, plus two newborn chicks. Having found that the rails breed easily in captivity, center biologists are determined that a good blood line be established for the eventual return to Guam of the rails. The center veterinarians have perfected a microscopic operation that determines the sex of the birds, and characteristics are recorded in a bird “stud book” so that the most desirable traits can be bred. The birds love to hide in the bamboo, said Ms. Eagan, but unlike the pandas, they don’t eat it. What do they eat? “Their strong favorite is hardboiled eggs,” said Ms. Eagan, “ground with the shell and all.” They’re also fed kale, grubs, dog food, mealworms, grain and vitamins. Because the center has the largest number of rails left in the world, it’s very careful. “First of all, we make sure that there are always some rails in other facilities,” said Ms. Eagan. “That way, if there is an outbreak of disease here, they won’t all be lost.” Bird house employees dip their feet to avoid contamination, and only certain staff can visit the birds. They will stay in a housed environment as long as they’re endangered, so that parasites cannot be introduced. “Other than that, we leave them alone,” said Ms. Eagan. “They raise their own young and prefer privacy. They’re doing very well on their own.” Ms. Eagan said that they’ve been greatly encouraged by the success of the program. Efforts to control the brown tree snake by authorities on Guam have not been equally successful. Still, Conservation and Research Center staff members are working for the day when the island will welcome back its native birds. Biologists and nature lovers employed there can sympathize with the tremendous loss of the U.S. territory on the other side of the world. “One of the staff members visited there,” said Ms. Eagan. “When she returned she said that it was the strangest thing to live somewhere without the sound of birds.” Springtime is salad time Now that spring has sprung, evening meals are taking a whole new line-up of foods. With longer, warmer days, it is easy to stay outdoors planting the garden or sprucing up the flower beds. When you finally drag yourself inside, you’re hungry for something light but satisfying. Salads are a welcomed treat, especially when flavored with the sweet delicate taste of apple juice and applesauce, says Susan L. Wiley, marketing specialist, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Now that Virginia’s crop of fresh apples is just about gone for the year, turn your taste for apples to their juice. Apple juice is available either crystal clear or cloudy when pulp is left in. Both clear and cloudy juices have been pasteurized to prevent natural sugars from turning to alcohol and then on to vinegar. Apple juice is a cool refreshing drink alone, as a mixer with various beverages or as the liquid ingredient in a gelatin salad. For tossed vegetable or fruit salads, make a low-calorie dressing with apple juice, a dash of vinegar, celery seed and ground ginger to drizzle over your favorite salad combination. Applesauce is a food often overlooked as a menu item. Yet commercially prepared applesauce is one of the most convenient, as well as refreshing, canned fruits available. Served simply icy cold, combined with nuts, raisins and chili peppers for chutney or combined with soy sauce for basting a pork roast, apple sauce has unlimited chances to appear on your dinner table. Now that you’re hungry for the delicate sweet flavor of apple juice and sauce, here are two recipes to try. The first is a congealed fresh fruit salad teaming applesauce with fresh spring fruits. The second recipe would be terrific on a spinach salad, laden with crisp bacon bits and sliced hard-cooked egg. Gingered fruit salad 1 package (6 oz.) lemon-flavored gelatin 1 cup boiling water 2 cups ginger ale 2 cups applesauce 1 cup cantaloupe chunks 1 cup sliced strawberries 1 cup white seedless grapes, halved Dissolve gelatin in boiling water; let cool slightly, then add ginger ale. Chill until mixture begins to thicken, then fold in remaining ingredients. Pout into 6-cup (lV2-quart) mold or dish. Chill until firm. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Dijon apple dressing 1 cup apple juice 1 egg, beaten 1 tablespoon flour 1/4 cup sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon Dij on-style mustard Combine sugar and flour in 1quart saucepan. Combine apple juice with beaten egg and add to saucepan, along with remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Chill well before serving. Makes about 1 Vi cups.

Town Council election May 6 (Continued from Page 1) Thomasson said. “Having the shop in town keeps me constantly in touch.” Like other candidates, Mrs. Thomasson opposes uncontrolled growth. “I oppose any growth that would destroy the historic integrity and tranquility of the towm,” she said. Instead of being intimidated by the prospect of growth, she believps that “the council should develop its uwm vision of how growth should be controlled and tapped as a source of badly-needed revenue." “Perhaps the council should work with some of the businesses for ideas,” she suggested. Mrs. Thomasson would like the council to have a reputation for fair treatment of all. “The council should be vigilant to insure equal enforcement of the town’s ordinances,” she said. The town council veterans bidding for another term are Dorothy Clater, Brad Fisher, William Wickens, Evelyn Willis and Wallace Critzer. Dorothy C later Mrs. Clater, a native of Washington, serves as the town clerk and has had that position since 1976, her first year on the council. Mrs. Clater believes the council is doing a good job of dealing with growth problems facing the town. “With our new boards, we’re coming along fine,” she said. Like Mr. Skowronski, Mrs. Clater is concemced about money: “We do need some revenue,” she said. She added that she “likes doing what I’m doing. I love the town and the people here!” Brad Fisher Brad Fisher, town treasurer, has lived here since 1974 and has served on the council since 1978. When he first ran, Mr. Fisher was hoping to contribute something to the town as well as to become more familiar with local people and concerns. “I moved here years after finding the town while hiking near Big Devil’s Stairs,” he said. “But I had said f i> 1 * l NUGGETS OF TRUTH ¥ * By REV, ROBERT DUNPHY Pastor I FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, j WASHINGTON, VA. j The Grace of \ Jesus Christ \ j Greetings In \ Jesus Name j In the New Testament, please 2 read Ephesians 2:1-6, and listen to | verse 7-9.

So when we found a house in town, we moved.” As treasurer, Mr. Fisher is especially concerned about town revenue. “We just need to have some income,” he said. “And we don’t want to levy any personal or property taxes. There are other ways to r&ise money, and some are relatively painless.” Mr. Fisher mentioned the water system as a town service that will need attention. “In fact,” he said, “I’d like to see the town have a fulltime employee for the water system.” “I’d like to see the town grow, not explode,” he added. “And I’d like it to contribute as a working community, serving the county, and not turn into a museum.” “I really like the way we do business here,” he said. ‘We can rely on gentlemen’s agreements, we’re open about how things are done, and we can disagree without everyone being divided.” Evelyn Willis Evelyn Willis is a Washington native who has returned after many years away. She is completing her first term on the council. “Zoning is very important to me,” she said. “I’d like to see the architectural review board refined, and I’d like for people to understand it.” “The town will grow whether we plan for it or not,” she predicted. “We need to use common sense in our planning. We need to protect our town.” Mrs. Willis is worried about the town’s treasury. “We really don’t have any money,” she said. “If something happened to the water system, we’d be in terrible trouble.” Mrs. Willis is interested in finding a source of revenue, but only if “it’s completely fair and across the board.” She, too, wants to avoid a personal tax. Though her concerns are many, her reason for running for another term is basic: “I care about the town,” she said “It’s as simple as that.” LINE UP WITH LYNE On 622 furnished leg cabin set | among large tulip po>jV\ n 10 acres, | gravity water ^^efaractive feat tures. 36Vb acres, about 6 or 7 partially cleared, beautiful homesite at top of i small mountain.

He’s a fiftyyear resident of the town. “And my mother was bom here,” he added, noting that she died in the same house in town 86 years later. “If there are problems, I haven’t thought of any,” he said. “I like the town.” Mr. Critzer doesn’t share the concern of other candidates about revenue source. “We have sources of revenue,” he said. As far as the town water supply is concerned, “the water works fine,” he said. William E. Wickens Mr. Wickens is running for his second term as councilman. “I’ve really enjoyed being on the council,” he said. “But, of course, I feel that our work isn’t finished yet.” ‘We’ve made real progress through our planning commission,” he continued, “But we need to have a comprehensive plan and to update our zoning ordinance. ” ‘We must continue to be on guard to preserve the character of the town,” Mr. Wickens said. ‘We must do it,” Mr. Wickens said about finding a source of revenue for the town. ‘We don’t need a large base, but we do need something.” He added jokingly that he’s not in favor of any raises for the council or the mayor. (Town councilmen presently receive $5.00 a month). He noted that whatever source of funding established by council should not affect people on a fixed income. “I think Washington is as perfect a place as there,is on this earth,” said Mr. Wickens. “I want to keep it that way.” Washington cleanup slated April 21-26 It looked more like a performance of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town than a meeting of the Washington Town Council last Wednesday night. Mayor Peter Kramer and council members Newbill Miller, Wallace Critzer, Evelyn Willis and Dorothy Clater took center stage at the Gay Street Theater. Their moment in the spotlight was short, however, as they breezed through an abbreviated agenda. Mayor Kramer announced that the town’s annual spring cleanup week will begin April 21 and culminate in a special trash pick-up on Saturday, April 26. Residents are reminded to have non-bumable refuse bagged, bundled or tied at streetside. Dawn Fisher asked if the council could do something about “a very unappreciative element that puts up yard sale signs on every piece of wood they can tack them to.” Holding up two bright orange construction paper signs she picked up off the street, Mrs. Fisher complained that the litter “makes the town look tacky.” She asked the council to consider a regulation that would require people to remove the signs once the advertised event has been held. “We have so many major zoning questions we’re dealing with now that it would be difficult to get into this,” Mayor Kramer replied. “We’re rewriting our comprehensive plan; we have serious holes in the zoning ordinance that need to be patched. “I think the sign issue needs addressing, but I don’t think we have the energy for it right now.” He told the council members that the town’s Planning Commission is working on the parking question and on zones necessary to bring the zoning ordinance up to date. “They should have something to forward to us soon.” Evelyn Willis suggested that the council members “informally encourage” townspeople to take down outdated signs, especially at the stop sign in the center of town. “If people come through and put up signs, they should have the courtesy to come back and take them down,” agreed Mayor Kramer.

Study (Continued from Page 1) pounds of dry solids at full capacity. \ Applied at the rate of eight dry tons per acre, this would require one acre per year for land disposal. For the county’s other three sewage treatment plants at Aileen Inc., Rappahannock Elementary School and Rappahannock High School, a total of a half-acre per year would be sufficient for sludge application. Adding up all the sludge produced in Rappahannock, 7.45 acres will be needed every five years. Ed Miller, water control engineer with the SWCB’s northern regional office, estimated a “conservative percentage” of farmland that would receive approval for septage and sludge application as between 28 and 32 percent. Using the 1982 Census of Agriculture’s figures for the number of acres here in farms and subtracting the number of acres needed for application of septage and sludge produced in Rappahannock, leaves the county with available “excess” of 22,943 to 27,731 acres, according to the planning district’s assessment. Rappahannock currently has a moratorium on land application of sludge, but the supervisors were informed last week that it may have to be lifted if Sperryville’s plant is to operate. According to the county’s Water and Sewer Authority, the Town of Culpeper has backed out of its agreement to accept sludge from the Sperryville facility and in order to qualify for an operating permit from the state, a sludge disposal plan must be formulated. Reportedly, the WSA has checked with other localities but found none willing to take Rappahannock’s sludge.
