It was a near-perfect day for running, and the race, like the weather, received unanimous approval as a smashing success. A total of 223 runners massed at the start in Flint Hill, and 6.2 miles and numerous hills later, 211 weary but triumphant finishers broke the tape in front of the courthouse in Washington. Tim Kearney, of Culpeper, ran away from the rest of the field, winning the race with a time of 33:58, a full two minutes ahead of second-place Randolph Wingfield (35:59) from Winchester. (Continued on Page 11) Landfill ordered closed By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer For a year, Rappahannock’s supervisors have been exploring options for disposal of solid waste as the life expectancy of the county’s privately owned and operated landfill ticked away. Time has now run out. On Friday, Robert Forman inspected the site on Clifton Clark’s property near Woodville and determined it could handle trash for another 50 to 60 days. He has directed Mr. Clark to prepare a closure plan, including provisions for final cover and erosion controls. (The Rappahannock News had requested permission to go along on Friday’s inspection. “Absolutely not!” was the response from Mr. Clark.) “There’s no time limit set on when the plan must be submitted,” said Mr. Forman, solid and hazardous waste engineer with the health department’s regional office in Culpeper. “But I imagine Mr. Clark will have it done before the end of June.” Should the projected capacity expiration date approach without a closure plan being submitted, Mr. Forman said he will make another inspection. If capacity has been “If your supervisors called me today and said they had a site, there’s no way it could be approved in less than six months.” — Robert Forman reached and solid waste is still being accepted at the site, the matter will be referred to the attorney general’s office for legal action, according to Mr. Forman. “There’s no such thing as emergency approval any more,” he noted. In accordance with recommendations from a special study committee, Rappahannock’s supervisors have asked neighboring jurisdictions to accept the county’s trash, but there are no takers. Mr. Forman noted that should the board opt to open a second landfill here, securing approvals from the health department and other agencies would take from six months to a year. “If your supervisors called me 'today and said they had a site, there’s no way it could be approved in less than six months.” Permitting procedures require two geologists to work with Mr. Forman in making the preliminary evaluation. “It takes three weeks at least to get my schedule lined up with theirs. Then (if the site is judged adequate), the county is notified. The supervisors will have to hire a consultant to conduct detailed hydrology and geol ogy studies. A site plan has to be developed. You have to come up with operational procedures and erosion controls. You must have a monitoring program approved by the State Water Control Board,” he said, explaining that the SWCB could require up to five test wells for taking groundwater samples as well as a plan for monitoring water quality in any nearby streams. “It takes time, lots of time,” he noted, adding that all plans must be submitted in triplicate to him for final evaluation and approval. Mr. Forman said that during more than 20 years of monitoring solid waste disposal,^ no other locality in his jurisdiction has put itself in Rappahannock’s predicament. “This is worse than being between a rock and a hard place. This is the pits!” he maintained. Mr. Forman noted that the supervisors had been repeatedly forewarned of the diminishing capacity at the county’s privately owned and operated landfill. “They walked right into this!” He recalled that another county in his monitoring area got “caught (Continued on Page 18) Planners oppose ‘religious motel’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer “In appearance, this will be like a residence with a lot of weekend guests,” said Ted Chapman of his special use permit application for a religious retreat center on 100 acres in the F.T. Valley. “It’s really more residential than commercial.” But the county planning commissioners didn’t agree. Instead, they voted unanimouslyjast Wednesday to recommend that tile Board of Zoning Appeals deny the permit on the grounds that the retreat center would constitute a commercial operation in a conservation zone. Mr. Chapman said he and his wife Renate want to build a 12-bedroom structure which would serve as their residence during the week and as a retreat center for area church groups of up to 20 members on weekends. The visitors would come to study the Bible, meditate, plan Sunday school programs and work on church budgets, he said, adding there would be “no outdoor speakers, no lights, no summer camp and no trailers.” “We’ve chosen a building site where the visibility from neighboring properties is limited,” Mr. Chapman said. He explained that he and his wife are lay people, not clergy. He is Episcopalian, she Catholic. I As private citizens, they would pay local, state and federal taxes, Mr. Chapman noted. “As a practical matter, this operation will be non-profit, but we will be charging money,” Mrs. Chapman explained. “We don’t intend to get a return on our investment, just cover our operating costs,” added Mr. Chapman, noting that he and his wife have outside incomes. “And when we grow too old to operate the retreat center any longer, we’ll transfer ownership to church groups who will run it in the same manner.” Planning Commissioner David J Fannon, wielding the chairman’s gavel after A. Y. Stokes abstained because of a potential conflict of interest as a neighboring landowner, read letters of support from Rev. Steve Scoggin and the Rev. Jennings Hobson III into the record. With one exception, it was the only support the Chapmans got all night. “My concern is if you’re not successful with this, what do you do with a 12-room house?” asked Commissioner Fannon. “It’s a pretty expensive house. We’re talking two, three hundred thousand dollars.” Mr. Chapman said that 10 or 12 churches in the metropolitan area al ready have said they’d use the facility for retreats three or four times a year. “To me, the structure looks like a motel,” said Phil Irwin, voicing concern for potential environmental damage the Chapmans’ proposal posed. ‘We don’t need additional motel accommodations, we don’t need additional religious retreat accommodations in Rappahannock County,” he maintained. “What happens in the future when the altruism might have faded? That concerns me greatly.” The Flint Hill resident described the Chapmans’ request for the religious retreat center as “a key in the lock of Pandora’s box . . . Make sure this application doesn’t lead to creating a Pandora’s box in a bunch of unneeded rental units,” he warned the planning commissioners. Neighboring landowner E. P. Luke pointed out that the notice of the BZA’s public hearing described the application as being for a religious school and retreat, adding that a school operation would mean more than “Sunday school people coming out for the weekend.” Mr. Chapman explained that the description in the legal notice misconstrued their intent but that the addition of “church school’ to their (Continued on Page 18) — Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Greg Turner Big rig overturns Rescue squadsmen work to free the driver of a tractor trailer which overtuned in Sperryville at the Beach Springs Church on Monday.

Despite the rescheduling and the late date in the season, Sunday’s meet has drawn a good field of horses for the eight-race card on the picturesque mountainside course. All the times are the same for the new meet with pair races beginning at 10:30 a.m. and regular races at noon. These times will be at the new daylight saving time which changes Saturday night. Feature race at Rappahannock is the Ben Venue owner-rider timber race. A strong field of nine is entered for this 21/2-mile timber contest. However, all but one of these entries are also cross-entered in the co-featured open timber race which has a healthy field of 13 including cross entries. Heading the owner-rider timber field is Dr. William Russell’s Marat, leading horse in the series following wins at Casanova, Warrenton and Piedmont. Marat, who won the Eustis Cup at Oatlands two weeks ago, is also cross-entered in the open timber field.

Up 12 percent from educational expenditures for the current year, the proposed budget calls for $1,492,255 as the local share of operational funds. Superintendent Robert Estabrook’s original budget totalled $3,096,423. The school board lopped off $41,775 after the supervisors announced they would cut projected expenditures by category this year. Time to spring ahead Sunday Daylight Savings Time will resume Sunday, April 27, at 2 a.m. Rappahannock residents should remember to turn their clocks ahead one hour when they go to bed on Saturday.

Ordinance interpretation raises zoning questions BJrB££HNE HUTCHINSON ou can interpret this ordinance in six or seven different ways,” maintained Zoning Administrator mil Smet, in defense of administrative subdivision approvals chalenged by the Planning Commission last week. 4^ issue is the go-ahead given to Chns Parris by Mr. Smet for subdivision of five lots from the Smith tract in Amissville and the proposed subdivision of four additional lots off another parcel from the same tract sold to Jon Morgan. Planning Commissioner Newbill P?*n^e^ out that the county’s subdivision ordinance allows for the administrative approval of up to five lots from a parcel of record as of 1973 but only so long as adjoining land has not already been subdivided. If the adjoining land has already been subdivided, then the subdivider must go through the rezoning process set out in the ordinance, Mr. Miller said. He also raised a question as to whether Mr. Morgan’s property is zoned agricultural, as concluded by Mr. Smet, or whether it is conservation and thus would require a minimum lot size of 25 acres (except for family subdivision exceptions for which the minimum is five acres). “How did it get divided? How did we get those five acre parcels in there?” asked Planning Commissioner Werner Krebser, examining the plat of Mr. Parrish’s subdivision. “This has been approved and recorded,” answered the zoning administrator. “Who did it?” Dr. Krebser demanded. “Why didn’t the Planning Commission know about it?” Commissioner Miller explained that Mr. Smet had made a mistake in authorizing the subdivision of the Mr. Parrish’s 74 acres into one lot of 30 acres, one of 25 acres and three of approximately six acres each. “I don’t think it should have been done administratively. ” Mr. Smet is an agent of the supervisors, Dr. Krebser responded. “The supervisors will have to reverse this.” “I think it’s a little bit more complicated once the lots are recorded,” Commissioner Miller said. As far as Mr. Morgan’s request for similar administrative authorization for subdivision of his 24 acres into four lots, “he must get subdivision approval under the ordinance,” Mr. Miller added. In trying to interpret Rappahannock’s subdivision regulations, Mr. Smet explained, “advice was sought from two attorneys, one of them the commonwealth’s attorney.” And according to the zoning administrator, both said that Mr. Parrish’s and Mr. Morgan’s applications could be approved administratively, since the tracts the two men owned were tracts of record as of 1973. Mr. Miller agreed that the Smith farm, from which both tracts originally came, had been worked as one parcel but had actually been put together with several separate pieces of property. “I’m not finding fault. I just want to see us work this through to a solution and determine how it’s going to be done,” he said, adding that past practices disallowed administrative approval for subdivisions when the parcel in question was contiguous to an already subdivided parcel. “But maybe state law supercedes our subdivision ordinance in that a parcel purchased separately can be sold separately,” he conceded. By consensus, the planning commissioners agreed that Mr. Morgan must submit a subdivision application through normal channels for the prerequisite rezoning since his property adjoins an existing subdivision. (However, in a resolution unani mously approved at the April board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors found the provisions of the zoning and subdivision ordinances requiring a rezoning to the RS-1 district as a prerequisite to subdivision plat approval to be “facially invalid, void and therefore unenforceable.”) By unanimous vote, the planners recommended that the contiguous property issue be resolved before any further subdivisions are approved by either the zoning administrator or the supervisors. The planners also decided to consult with legal counsel before writing a recommendation to the supervisors on Richard Johanson’s request for a waiver on subdivision ordinance road requirements. Mr. Johanson, owner of Charles Goode’s mountain subdivision near Flint Hill, is seeking approval for a deduction in number of lots from 13 to nine and a relocation of the subdivision road in addition to the waiver of the requirement that the road be paved. The redesign of the original plat would make the house sites and the road virtually invisible from the highway, he said. The open field at the front of the 70 acres on Route 522 would also remain open, he noted, while deed restrictions and covenants would set building sites and stipulate that all utilities be underground. “You’re offering lesser density for a break on the road,” Commissioner David Fannon pointed out. “This issue goes right to the heart of our ordinance,” said Commissioner Miller. County regulations require that subdivisions with lots under 25 acres be served by roads built to state specifications in order that those roads be eligible for inclusion in the state system for maintenance, he explained. “Again we’d set an awful precedent,” warned Commissioner Krebser. Castleton VFD dinner Friday Proceeds from the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad’s annual fund raising dinner this Friday night, April 25, will go towards providing life saving services to the community. “By joining us at the fire hall for dinner, people can eiyoy a delicious nr «al and afe the.same time support our emergency services program,” said Peggy Wobdward; organizer of the event. “What would you do if your house caught on fire or if a brush fire threatened your home?” asked VFD president Phillip Strange. “You’d call the fire department. And if you or someone in your family needed emergency care and immediate transportation to a hospital, you’d call the rescue squad. They answer your calls for help; now you’re being asked to answer theirs,” he said, inviting the residents of the Castleton area and beyond to Friday’s dinner. This year’s fund raising effort is especially important as the fire department and rescue squad are planning an addition to their building to house equipment and provide an area for community activities. Also in conjunction with the fund raising, a membership drive is underway. “We need man-power and woman-power to continue the upgrading of our community and services,” said Chief John H. Woodward. “We’re looking for folks who can drive a truck, wash a window, bake a cake, pound a nail or wash a dish.” r f=>Real Estate Eileen M. Day realtor SHOULD YOU SELECT YOUR FRIEND?

The legal action instituted against Rappahannock — and other Virginia localities, including neighboring Madison County — is an attempt by the federation to bring about compliance with state regulations regarding animal shelters.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. V Editorials Replace ‘Old Blue’ Recent land use developments — action at Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission meetings — illustrate the importance of adopting new zoning ordinance without delay. County officials and applicants are devoting a great deal of time to disagreements over the very basics, such as what zone a piece of property lies within. The zoning administrator, in a legal notice, says property is in an agricultrual zone; the planners say no, it’s conservation. But the existing ordinance is vague. Districts aren’t delineated; designation depends entirely on slope of the property. That determines whether property is agricultural, with a five-acre minimum lot size and one set of uses allowed by right, or conservation, with a minimum lot size of 25 acres and a totally different set of by-right uses. A landowner or prospective purchaser needs a topographical study to know for sure. Other problem areas also recently have been obvious. For example, the ordinance requires a rezoning to residential subdivision as prerequisite to subdivision plat approval in many cases. Yet at last meeting, the supervisors held that requirement to be invalid, void and unenforceable. Then two weeks later, the planning commissioners reaffirmed the need to go that “invalid” rezoning route. And those are just the problems that have surfaced publicly in the last two weeks. “Old Blue,” as one planning commissioner fondly calls the existing zoning ordinance, has done its work. It’s ready to be put out to pasture.. Word has it that the supervisors are waiting until a county administrator is hired before going ahead with - enactment of the proposed new zoning ordinance, which has been gathering dust on the shelf for more than a year. Why? An adminsitrator is merely an agent — not a policymaker. No matter who administrator is, he or she will be bound by ordinance provisions. So what difference does it make who that person is? It’s time to move on adoption of a new zoning ordinace. Help a neighbor A neighbor needs our help.

Limber of limb and blythe of spirit, the runners would capture the energy of an April morning and carry it along the old stagecoach road from Flint Hill to Washington. Meanwhile, the town seemed to bubble with anticipation, and the splendid coming into view of each Fodderstack participant would bring appreciative applause, cheers, admiration and — dare we suggest — some envy from some of us who lined the wayside. It was our pleasure to say we had a friend in the running, Mr. Ray I Gooch, who modestly stressed that he’d won no trophy. Well, a person who has completed a 10-kilometer road race owes no clarifications to a person who can, with a simple sprint to answer the telephone, get quite winded. We’re fairly new to the area, and were away for this event last year. Now we’ve seen another Rappahannock happening and marvel at the way the town can gently shift gears upward — merrily revving all its engines — then, gradually shift back down to the peaceful, barely audible hum of a pretty country' town, which is also the county seat, going about its business. EDITH M. TENNENT Washington T Volunteers appreciated To the editor: April 20-26 is National Volunteer Week,-a time to recognize the enormous value of volunteers to our community. As supervisor of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program for this area, I would like to commend the many volunteers in their many roles who offer so much to Rappahannock County and its residents. Volunteering is a solid tradition in America, and we are fortunate to be able to participate in and benefit from such activities. CAROLYN M. SZABAD RSVP Volunteer Supervisor Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center Culpeper Thanks from the heart To the editor: I would like to thank everyone who helped make this years Jump Rope for Heart a success. To friends, family and neighbors of children who jumped: Thank you for pledging more than $2,800 in contributions. To local merchants and parents of jumpers: Thank you for donations of cookies and other refreshments for the jumpers who worked up quite an appetite! To McDonald’s in Culpeper: Thank you for donating the orange drink, cups, ice and containers for water and juice to the thirsty jumpers. To the teachers of RCES: Thank you to those that volunteered to help with the event and to all the others for tolerating the disruption in your Nature’s work devastated To the editor: Today we witnessed the destruction of one of nature’s wonders. The state highway department tore a dam across Blackwater Creek on Route 615 in Rappahannock County. It had been built there by a colony of beavers. The beautiful little creatures moved there and began their work a few months ago. Those of us who lived near, adults and children alike, were delighted to watch the progress of the dam and felt that all of Rappahannock County was blessed by the coming of the bea-< vers. With a huge piece of equipment, parked on the road above the dam, it took a few minutes to destroy the dam. Four men stood beside the road to watch the operation; one man operated the equipment. The feeble reason given by men of the highway department for the destruction was that the dam was a menace to the bridge over the creek. However, we have lived near the bridge for 11 and have seen water rise many times above the level of the road with no damage to the bridge. How could the delicate dam that was only three feet high and approximately 10 feet below the road be a menace? The statement is ludicrous and without foundation. The road itself (Route 615) is a complete disaster with series of potholes and jagged ravines crossing it. Many places, the road has no shoulders and no room to pass. It is a potential for serious injury. Over and over again, we have been told that the road has “low priority” and there is no money for maintenance. Five men were on the site today. Four were watching while one worked. If Mr. Douglas Bywaters, who issued the order for the destruction of the dam, had consigned the funds to road maintenance, we could have had a few less potholes and the Beavers could live in peace. While the citizens of Rappahannock County strive to make it a beautiful rural community, our tax dollars pay the salaries of those who devastate it. HELEN M. FRIDENSTINE Castleton day. Lastly, I would like everyone to know how proud I am of those children in grades 4-7 who enthusiastically jumped rope for three hours. Your outstanding effort is greatly appreciated by The American Heart Association. So that these children may receive their well-deserved prizes, please mail pledges to the Rappahannock Chapter of The American Heart Association by May CAROL NOWAKOSKI RCES Physical Education Center Baliles targets illiteracy From Staff and Wire Reports RICHMOND — The state’s “no read-no release” program will be in place in Virginia prisons by this summer, Gov. Gerald L. Baliles said Friday. “It is very clear that crime and illiteracy go hand in hand. One, quite simply, feeds oh the other. Men and women who become prisoners of the state invariably first become prisoners of their own illiteracy,” Gov. Baliles told a meeting of the Correctional Education Association in Charlottesville. Gov. Baliles said two months ago he intended to make literacy a condition of parole. Corrections and parole officials are working out the details of the educational programs, but the governor outlined the timetable to the association. Initial screening showed that 3,800 of the 10,800 prisoners cannnot function as well as a sixth grader, he said. They will be the targets of the program, once inmates with learning disabilities are eliminated. Prison officials will administer a standardized test to the targeted inmates by May 15, each prison will have its program ready by July 1 and instruction will begin by late summer, the governor said. Across Virginia “I assure you, Virginia is committed to “no read-no release,” Gov. Baliles said. “It will be Virginians policy that no person with an identified deficiency — defined as functiong below grade six — shall be released on parole until a thorough assessment has been made of his education progress and proficiency.” Prisoners’ progress, or their refusal to take part in the program, will be part of their record when they go before the parole board. Flood loans closed ROANOKE — Following harsh criticism last week from a House subcommittee, the Small Business Administration is sending up to 16 employees to Virginia and West Virginia to close thousands of loans pending from last November’s flood, an official said Friday. Richard Nash, area director of SBA disaster assistance in Atlanta, said several loan officers traveled to Roanoke and Clarksburg, W. Va., this week to call applicants whose loans have not been closed. More will be following during the next few days, he said. Prison above capacity OCCOQUAN — The medium-security prison here is housing close to 1,200 inmates, 33 percent more than its official capacity, statistics show. The facility is developing into what inmates and guards describe as a hot spot in the D.C. corrections system. The Washington Post reported Sunday. With the added inmates, visiting hours for the infirmary, the library and the dentist have been cut back, and lockers and clothing are in short supply, three guards said. Meal tickets to the dining room, which has a capacity of 200 but is used by as many as 400 people at a time, occasionally run out, the guards said. Terry defends stand FREDERICKSBURG — Attorney General Mary Sue Terry says she is ready to defend the constitutionality of a law enlisting Virginia’s mass meetings into a Southern regional primary effort. State Republicans argue the law is an unconstitutional infringement of their First Amendment rights to associate for political purposes. But Ms. Terry told the Federicksburg Free-Lance Sta r Thursday she stands by a formal opinion she issued in February, which said the law imposed too minimal a burden on the political process to face constitutional problems. She said she would have to consult with Gov. Gerald L. Baliles about any legal strategy if the Republicans’* challenge the law in court. The law requires all political parties in Virginia set the second Saturday in March for their city and county mass meetings, the first step to choosing delegates to national presidential nominating conventions. It is part of a regional effort to give the Southern states more clout in choosing presidential nominees and platforms by bunching all their primaries and conventions within the same week.

Good’s application for preliminary plat approval on his Mountain Slopes subdivision first came before the Commission at the February meeting. The planners had questions on the subdivision, the first since amendments were adopted to the county’s subdivision ordinance, and since neither Good nor the zoning administrator was present to supply answers, the application was tabled. -What price Kirov tickets? By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer After starts and stops and many doubts, enough residents were found deciding to sign on for a bus trip-picnic to Wolftrap for the Kirov Ballet performance on June 4. RAAC Director Anne Stephens, following up a suggestion of Dr. William Young, got the details for the excursion: We would need a minimum of 25 people to pay for the bus, and tickets had to be purchased in person on April 20 at Wolftrap, the ticket office to open at noon. Demand for the tickets was so great that to make it “democratic” the Wolftrap powers decided only 10 tickets per person to be doled out to an orderly queue. By Sunday morning, RAAC had cash in hand for 30 tickets.

The jolly ride in through apple blossoms and other blooms grew dramatic where dogwood and crabapple were in full cry. Arriving at Wolftrap at 11 a.m., the trio joined a line of ticket buyers that was perhaps at that point about 250 people long. Happily we sat down in the folding chairs Anne had thought to bring, with a thermos of lemonade, glancing at Ruth Richard’s Washington Post. An hour passed. The line lengthened behind us and the box office opened. Another hour passed and we moved forward perhaps 50 feet. Only another quarter of a mile to go. Another hour. Another 50 feet. By 2 p.m., Anne decided we needed something to eat. In the meantime, on a walk, Ruth has sighted John Shipman an hour behind us. He bravely abandoned his place to join us for a chat. r Car trouble delayed his arrival. He was in some mental distress. Anne agreed to include him in the lunch order. After a search for a source of food, Anne returned with buns filled with shaved beef, orders of French fries and cokes. Other less fortunate bystanders with deep curiosity watched us eat. One asked if she could sit in one of our chairs. When she arrived with lunch, Anne was surprised to find us almost in the same spot she had left us 45 minutes before. We whiled away the time talking with John about suggestions for a catered picnic supper for the ballet event. Diana mentioned asparagus with lemon juice, puff pastery stuffed with seafood salad, and cucumber and watercress sandwiches.

But I do know that Nancy's answer is on target She and all her friends are the new generation. They were not here a hundred years ago; not many of us were.

Potatoes flourish in garbage cans “One potato, two potato, three potato, four. Look in the trash can and you’ll find more.” That’s the new version of the old counting song that they’re singing at Lorraine Robson’s house. Blessed with a bountiful potato crop but no root cellar for storage, Mrs. Robson tried saving part of last year’s harvest in a 22-gallon garbage can. When she’d gone through the five bushels she’d kept upstairs in the pantry of her Slate Mills bed and breakfast, she pulled the trash can out from the crawl space underneath the house. “The old potatoes were all soft, and they’d grown long, long roots. But the roots were covered with clusters of new potatoes, sw7eet as sugar and so delicious! They are just beautiful!” said Mrs. Robson. Gardening guides don’t list trash can cultivation among the suggested methods of growing red potatoes and Kennebecs. And Mrs. Robson wasn’t trying to break new ground. “I was just looking for a way to keep them over the winter,” she explained. Someone suggested storing the vegetables in a trash can in the cellar-like crawl space underneath the house. She filled the trash can with alternating layers of straw and potatoes, sprinkling both with a little slacked lime. “I made it like lasagne,” Mrs. Robson joked. She didn’t expect a volunteer crop but she’s tickled with her status as first Rappahannock gardener to bring in new potatoes. “We had such an early spring last year — I planted potatoes on March 8 and harvested them in August. Going in and coming out so early, they might have had extra moisture that condensed in the trash can. Maybe that’s why they grew.” They weren’t a special variety, she added, “just the regular seed potatoes that the Boston General Store had last year. ” A novice in the ranks of truck farmers, Mrs. Robson nevertheless began on a grand scale, planting a garden of almost an acre. In addition to the bushels of potatoes she dug, she harvested enough beans, cucumbers, squash, peppers, tomatoes and onions to fill pantry shelves and a couple of freezers. She’s repeating her efforts this season, growing for both home use and her bed and breakfast guests. “The dining room table, the book shelves, counters, end tables — everything is covered with seedlings!” to Turn Trash Into Cash.

Major Credit Cards ± 703/771-9300. Metro 478-1141 Home freezer tips By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent Is your home freezer a luxury or , wise investment? It depends on iow it is used. If you plan ahead, a freezer helps rou: • Put together a variety of meals. • Avoid last-minute dashes to the tore. • Take advantage of sales. • Do holiday baking in advance. • Enjoy produce from your garlen year-round. On the other hand, the freezer in ome people’s homes does little more han gobble electricity. To get the most from a freezer, ollow these tips: 1. Use it. If it is there, don’t let it tand half-empty. A freezer operites more efficiently if it is full. 2. Freeze only top quality foods. Hie end product can be no better han the food which was originally >ut into the freezer. 3. Wrap foods well. Use only a noisture-vapor proof wrapper deligned for use in the freezer or airight glass, metal, or sturdy plastic reezer containers. Otherwise, the 'ood quickly loses its quality. 4. Keep the temperature set on *ro. Although food may be frozen at ligher temperatures, it will lose its juality. 5. Keep careful records. Know vhat is in the freezer, and label all packages. Use the oldest foods first. Keep a list outside the freezer so you lon’t have to stand there with the loor open trying to figure out what ,o take out. 6. If the unit isn’t frost-free, make sure it is defrosted once or twice a year. 7. Know what freezes well and what does not. For example, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, and onions will not be fresh and crisp when thawed, but they can be used in casseroles. Fresh cuts of beef, chicken, and pork freeze well, but bologna, processed luncheon meats, and canned hams are not good candidates. Butter, breads, and unfrosted cake layers can be kept for months as long as they are wrapped in air-tight containers to prevent dehydration. The most important tip to remember is to keep the freezer full. A freezer can’t possibly be economical if it isn’t being used. Freezers serve their owners well when unexpected guests drop in and there is something tucked there that can be served. Lemon Ice Box Pie and Five Flavor Pound Cake fill the bill well. The Lemon Ice Box Pie is definitely not for dieters, but oh so good!, The whipped eggs and cream combine to give a very smooth and enjoyable treat. Often we can let freezers work for us in other ways. The flavor of pound cake is enhanced with aging. This Five Flavor Pound Cake can be made far in advance and frozen. Five Flavor Pound Cake 3 c. sugar 2 sticks butter (1/2 lb.) 1/2 c. vegetable shortening 5 eggs 3 c. flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 c. milk 1 tsp each: rum extract butter extract coconut extract * vanilla extract lemon extract Cream butter, shortening, sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat eggs until lemon color; add to creamed mixture. Sift flour and baking powder together. Add flour and milk alternately in three portions. Stir in flavorings. Bake in greased tube pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately lVz hours. Glaze 1/4 c. water 1/2 c. sugar 1/2 tsp. each: rum extract, coconut extract, butter extract, vanilla extract, lemon extract, almond extract Bring to boil and boil until sugar is dissolved. Pour over hot cake. Cool in pan. Tip: Sometimes this can can be tricky. I find using large or extra large eggs does better. The flavor will be enhanced if the cake is allowed to age a day or so before cutting. Lemon Ice Box Pie 4 eggs 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. lemon juice 1T. grated lemon rind dash of salt 2 c. whipping cream vanilla wafer crumbs Beat egg yolks until lemon color. Add salt, sugar, and lemon juice. (Reserve 2 tsp. sugar to add to cream before whipping.) Beat egg whites until they form stiff but not dry peaks. Whip cream. Fold whites and cream into yolk mixture. Line 9inch pan with waxed paper. Cover bottom with vanilla wafer crumbs. Pour lemon mixture over crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over top. Cover and freeze until ready to use. Cranberry Split Mold 2/3 c. sugar 4 T. (4 envelopes) unflavored gelatin 3V2 c. boiling water 1 can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade concentrate 1 can (6 oz.) frozen cranberry juice cocktail concentrate 1 c. frozen chopped peach slices, well drained 1 container (4 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed. In medium bowl, combine sugar and gelatin., Add boilingwater and 1 stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add frozen lemonade and cranberry juice concentrates. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add enough gelatin mixture to peach chunks to make 2Vz cups. Chill until slightly thickened. Set remaining gelatin aside at room temperature. When peach-gelatin mixture is slightly thickened, pour into a tall 6-cup mold. Refrigerate. Chill remaining gelatin mixture until slightly thickened. Fold in thawed whipped topping. Pour into mold. Chill overnight. Unmold and serve with toasted frozen pound cake slices.

A tribute to a great lady — Florence Williamson By SALLY ANN BOARD Kappah&nnock News Contributing Writer A good friend is gone and I shall miss her as I am sure many others in the community will. “Flossie” Williamson was a gentle, gracious lady with much zest for living, and it is hard to realize she is gone. She was always doing something for someone — sharing her knowledge of herbs with garden clubs, individuals, young folks starting in ‘ business. Not only did she share her knowledge, but she shared her produce as well. Even though we live in Culpeper, she came by several times a year, bringing “cress” greens for my husband, Italian tomatoes and herbs for my tomato sauce, or potted herb plants. It always brightened up our day and that of my crippled son to have a visit from “Flossie.” She was always especially kind to him, - and usually included something special “for John.” , Her interest in nutrition gave us a common bond, and she studied that subject constantly. Knowing that I am a registered dietitian, she frequently called for information for herself or for her friends. She deplored the fact that some of them didn’t eat breakfast, or had other “bad” habits, and was constantly trying to get them to improve their eating habits. Knowing, too, that I help write the newsletter for the Culpeper Nu trition Committee, each time she received a copy, she called to thank us, and discuss the information in it. She also called frequently to say she enjoyed my “Sally Ann’s Kitchen” article which appears weekly in the Culpeper Star-Exponent. I shall miss her calls. If I wanted information about herbs, I called Flossie. She was a source of constant amazement with her knowledge about herbs. In March I wrote about a book, Nutrition for Older People by Dr. Frederick Stare, which we had presented to the Culpeper Library. She called to get more information because she thought the Rappahannock Library should have a copy! I sent the information, and almost immediately she called to say “thank you” and tell me the librarian had bought a copy of the book. That was the last time I had talked to her, but had mentioned her frequently since my husband was going through the same eye operation she had had about three years ago. I think she was 84 when she came driving to town just a few weeks after her eye implants. She lived her 87 years with dignity, friendliness, a person con- 1 stantly seeking more knowledge and sharing it with others. A great lady! News from the Sperryville area Mrs. George W.

Sludge can be an asset if handled properly By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Special Writer What is sludge? “Do you know what it is . . . the fetid flow of sludge that the pavement hides from you?” wrote Victor Hugo in Les Miserables. “It is the flowering meadow, green grass, marjoram and thyme and sage, the lowing of contented cattle in the evening, the scented hay and the golden wheat, the bread on your table and the warm blood in your veins — health and joy and life. ” In less eloquent terms, it is the precipitated solid matter produced by sewage treatment, material increasingly recognized as a valuable asset rather than a liability. Why the sudden interest in sludge? As the nation follows through on its commitment to reduce water pollution, more and more waste water treatment plants are being built or upgraded. Rappahannock’s experience parallels that of hundreds upon hundreds of communities across the United States: While new sewage treatment plants reduce the pollutants entering lakes and streams, they also produce piles of sludge left behind after the waste water is cleansed. And the piles are growing into mountains — by 1990, according to projections, as much as 16 million tons of dry sewage sludge will be produced each year, nearly three times the amount generated in the 1970s. In a further complication, many w of the traditional methods of sludge disposal — ocean dumping, placement of sludge in sanitary landfills and incineration — have become environmentally or politically unacceptable, or just too expensive for many communities. As a result, there is an upsurge of interest in land application of sludge. Land application is not new; it’s only in the eastern U.S. that it’s a novel idea. Europeans and Asians have followed the practice for hundreds of years. In addition to the glowing description quoted above, Victor Hugo wrote: “If our gold is so much waste, then, on the other hand, our waste is so much gold.” In a more recent reaction, during W a visit to Washington, D.C.’s Blue Plains sewage treatment plant, Chen Xitong, mayor of Peking, looked over the hills of sludge. “Do farmers come and get it with their trucks?” he asked, recognizing what would be a valuable commodity in China. In the U.S., too, sludge has been spread for years on cropland. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, an estimated 400 towns in Illinois and 250 towns in Ohio alone apply sludge to the land. Experience in the mid-West has shown farmers can derive financial benefits through land application. As an incentive, most municipalities will provide sludge to farmers at little or no cost. Thus, land spreading of good quality sludge can reduce fertilizer costs of participating farmers. It is estimated that the fertilizer replacement value of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in all domestically produced sewage sludge is nearly $200 million per year. Tests show that sludge increases crop yields when properly applied. Researchers in Ohio, for example, found that, over a three year period, corn and wheat yields on test plots amended with three to six tons of sludge per acre were roughly comparable to yields on test plots where commercial fertilizer was used at recommended application rates and substantially above the control plots where no fertilizer or sludge was applied. Sperryville’s plant will produce the most suitable sludge for land ap Next Deadline April 29 Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad! Only $3.00 per week for a 1 Inch space!

Such sludges are less likely to have unacceptable high levels of contaminants and'* more likely to have higher levels of organic matter and nutrients than sludge from plants which also process industrial wastes and storm drain runoff. While farmers often clamor for sludge, the general public isn’t quite as enthusiastic. “It’s an emotional issue,” says the District government’s Wallace White, who has worked to find takers for Blue Plains sludge. “Nobody wants to treat somebody else’s crap. Nobody wants anybody to crap in their backyard.” Opposition generally centers on three areas of concern: Health threats, ground and surface water contamination and odor. Raw sewage does contain pathogenic bacteria, viruses and certain parasites. Most are destroyed during processing at the sewage treatment plant, but some may survive. To kill the remaining pathogens, sludge can be air-dried, heat-dried, irradiated, composted or stabilized with lime. As a further precaution, public access to land aplication areas should be limited for one year after spreading, and grazing by animals that produce products consumed by humans should be prohibited for at least one month. These safety procedures reduce the potential health threat to a minimum, if not removing it entirely. Studies made at ac tual sites — where proper management practices were followed — have shown no disease transmission attributable to land apllication of sludge, according to EPA. As for heavy metals, the presence of small concentrations of some — “trace elements” such as zinc, copper and selenium — need not be considered a liability, according to EPA. In fact, very small concentrations of such trace elements are essential for plant and animal metabolism. Often, however, soils are deficient in these trace elements. Thus, when sludge contains proper concentrations, it may actually help to make up nutrient deficiencies in soils and crops. But unlike the trace elements, two contaminants often found in sludge — cadmium and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) — can be extremely toxic, even in low concentrations. Usually, these turn up only ini sludge from plants that process industrial wastes. But, as * safety precaution before beginning land application of sludge from any sewage treatment plant, EPA rec(Continued on Page 14) Myrtle Beach, SC || Reservations ~ j|> l-800-626-74§7 «Myrtle Beach Hotel: & Motel Assn, and The Chamber of Commerce FACTORY INVOKE ON ALL NEW 86 mi TRUCKS Choose from a large Inventory of 2 & 4 wheel drive Pickups (Including standard beds, long beds and the I new Spacecaba). _ INCLUDES FREIGHT!

Sport 10-K (Continued from Page 1) Rappahannock County’s own Frank Reynolds captured third place overall as well as his sixth Eva L. .Smith Memorial Award with a time of 37:18. “You’ve shown me your back quite a few times over the years, and I thought it was time to turn the tables,” Mr. Kearney quipped after receiving congratulations from Mr. Reynolds. Despite his runaway win, Mr. Kearney’s time was considerably slower than Steve Pinard’s course record 31:26, set last year in near-90 degree heat. Christine Beathard placed first overall in the women’s division with a time of 45:20. She was followed across the finish line by Nancy Specht (45:42) and Mary O’Meara (46:49). Mrs. O’Meara also took home her fourth Eva L. Smith Memorial Award for the first Rappahannock woman. Second-place winner of the Smith trophy was Firth Whitehouse (47:43), while third-place honors were taken by former Smith Memorial winner Merrill Strange with a time of49:56. Second and third place Eva L. Smith trophies for men went to John Borgens (39:57) and Marley Hay (40:03). Mrs. Beathard’s husband, Washington Redskins General' Manager Bobby Beathard, finished second in the 40-49 division with a time of 40:00. Another notable performance was turned in by 8-year-old Mark Jenkins of Flint Hill, who burned up the course to take first place honors in the under-12 age group with a finishing time of54:29.

The Panthers got only two hits — both of them by H. B. Wood. Rappahannock’s lone run came on Wood’s solo home run in the fourth inning. He had a single earlier in the game. The loss puts Rappahannock’s record at 4-2 overall and 2-2 in the Bull Run District. Tommy Jenkins, a senior righthander, suffered his first loss of the season on the mound for the Panthers. Jenkins’ record is on dht lost 41. “He pitched a good game,” said Coach Jon Heddleston. “And we played good defense . . . We th warted a lot ot runs; we played well defensively and made several plays at the plate.” But the Panther bats were quiet. “We didn’t hit the ball,” Heddleston said. “We’ve got a team where all nine starters can hit and usually do, but not tonight. “I still believe we have a good shot at the district,” he continued. “We’ve just to start hitting the ball again ... I think a few of our players lost a little confidence and with that some aggressivenss. The first few games we were very, very aggressive.” The Panthers will visit Clarke County at 4:30 p.m. Friday in Berryville and will host Brentsville — a district foe they beat earlier this season — at 5 p.m. next Tuesday.

School SPTA Buy-A-Board top salesmen, from left, Nathan Flinchum, high salesman, Tucker Rogers second, Jesse Rogers third and Wesley Welk fourth. Maggie Rogers, chairman of the playground committee, stands behind the children. Buy-A-Board campaign comes to a close By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Thanks to 97 dedicated Rappahannock Elementary students, the buy-a-board campaign, a fund raiser for the playground face lift, was a success. The students raised $2,402. The students who sold the most boards were announced at the SPTA movie last Friday night by playground chairman Maggie Rogers. First grader Nathan Flinchum was named highest salesman. He collected $216 from relatives, friends and in his words “some very nice people.” As highest salesman Nathan received $50 for his hard work. When asked what he was going to do with his award money he said, “I’ll probably put it in my savings account.” Second highest salesman was fourth grader Tucker Rogers who collected $139. Tucker used his $25 award money to treat his family to the Trapezoid concert. Later he decided he wanted to be reimbursed by his family so that he could put the money in the bank. Second grader Jessee Roger was third highest salesman, collecting $129.45. His $15 award will be deposited in his bank account shortly. Wesley Welk, a kindergartener, collected $115. Wesley received $10 as fourth highest salesman. Miss Debra Irby’s first grade class collected the most money of any class in the school. By collecting $381 each class member received a free pass to the SPTA movie The Shaggy D.A., shown at the elementary school April 18. Miss Irby’s class will also receive free ice cream Friday for having the most in attendance at the movie. The treat is provided by parent Linda Mallory. The four second grade classes received a certificate of merit for outstanding group effort. They passed their own “pickle jar” and collected approximately $32. Seven classrooms received individual certificates of merit for raising more than $100. The SPTA has alloted $1,000 from their general fund for the playground. The students will begin to see the generously donated money put to use on May 3 when playground construction begins. We’ll knock It’s opportunity knocking!

Route 2 Box 239 Warrenton, Virginia 22186 (703)347-2880 RADD — For those who care By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “Don’t let prom night last forever!” read a sign on a wrecked car parked behind Rappahannock County High School. A 17-year-old girl from another locality was killed in the car in an alcohol related accident. Mike Brown of B & B Service Center towed the car to the school for a project of the school’s club, Rappahannock Students Against Drunk Driving (RADD). RADD was an outgrowth of the national organization Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD). According to student organizer Kristi Pendleton, SADD was founded in September 1981 by Robert Anastas, director of health education of Wayland High School in Wayland, Mass. Through one of Mr. Anastas’ programs in health his students becaine aware of the statistics as being real people and not just numbers. One statistic he quoted was that death due to drinking is the number one killer of teenagers. Last year Virginia held a threeday seminar at Radford University . on drunk driving and drug related accidents in which Kristi participated. She said, “I heard things and saw statistics that I couldn’t believe. So I decided to pass on the information to students here at school.” “We had a speaker from the seminar come and talk to us here. He was very dynamic. A lot of people came out crying. His daughter had been killed in an accident. He had some people stand up and he quoted statistics that said that many people will die because of drinking accidents,” Kristi concluded. RADD meets every other Wednesday to discuss statistics and projects that could be done to make the students more aware of the hazards of drinking and driving. The club is open to any student who is wholeheartedly concerned about the problem of drunk drivers. Kristi explained the significance of the wrecked car. “You can see the original beer bottles in it that she was drinking from. There is a shoe in the back seat and blood stains on the seat.” Saturday night was prom mgnt and Kristi hoped that the car’s presence made the students more aware of what could happen to them. Co-sponsors Jon Heddleston and Helen LaCava stated that their classes were interested in going to see the car. Mr. Heddleston said that some of the students thought the beer bottles were put in the car deliberately, and were surprised when they were told they had been there since the accident. Mrs. LaCava was pleased that Kristi took the initiative to begin RADD. She said, “She was our guiding spirit.” Student Phil Daczewitz said looking at the car made him feel very nervous Decause ue luuugni mot there may be drunk drivers on the road who could crash into innocent people. Viewing the car made Gina Fletcher feel terrible. “It’s awful to think that somebody could be stupid enough to drink and drive. It makes you very aware that you should never drink and drive and you should never even think of getting in a car with anybody that’s drinking.” John Hanock couldn’t believe he saw blood on the carpet. It has made him more conscious of better driving habits. Prom night should be a night to remember for all the good reasons. Wakefield senior named John Jay Scholar at Columbia Wakefield senior Tara Welty has been named a John Jay Scholar at Columbia University in New York. The John Jay Scholar Program at Columbia honors the 12 applicants nationwide who have not only the most outstanding academic achievements but also the widest range of intellectual interests and accomplishments outside of the classroom. In addition to the considerable prestige associated with the John Jay scholarship, students chosen for the award receive the best financial aid package the college can offer — up to $48,000 in grants — and other benefits. One unique feature of the program involves special dinners held throughout the year for the John Jay Scholars with a variety of nationally known guests. In recent years these guests have included Leonard Bernstein, Isaac Asimov, Barbara Tuchman, Mario Cuomo, William Buckley and Buckminster Fuller. Capitalizing on the richness of New York as a cultural center, the John Jay program gives students a chance to exchange ideas with people celebrated in their fields.

Commission grant brings artist Dan Lewis to RCES residency Ry DEB°RAH FLINCHUM Kappahannock News Special Writer u Student Suzanne Parker said, “He teaches us how to do things like artists do them. It’s neat to see.how he draws things.” Suzanne is referring to Rappahannock County Elementary School’s artist-in residence, Dan Lewis. Mr. Lewis was bom and raised in Washington, D.C., and worked as a commercial artist there. Seven years ago he moved to Warrenton to concentrate on fine arts, and three years later he came to Rappahannock County and opened the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. He presently works with the fine arts, runs the gallery and does framing work. Laurie Marshall convinced the school to apply for a grant through the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Several artists around the county applied for the artist-in-residence through the VCA. Each applicant sent in a resume, slides, and an application. “I had fine arts as well as commercial art skills. They probably chose me for a more rounded approach to art because I can do graphic arts, too,” commented Mr. Lewis. VCA is a state organization set up to promote and help artists do their work. They try to help support artists through grants and also increase the emphasis on art in the school system. “Artist-in-residence means that I come every day to the school and do my art work here. I help interested students when they need it. I work in the front lobby so children can come by and watch while I work to see what I’m doing and to watch my progress. They also come for instruction,” Mr. Lewis explained. “I’ve been into every classroom of the school and worked with every child in the school,” he continued. “In each class I .touched every child at least by a comment on certain aspects of their work.” Mr. Lewis added, “I also did a program with the teachers where we did three exercises so they could be more familiar with what I’m doing with the kids. This also gave them a better understanding of drawing techniques and how to help children with their drawings.” Mr. Lewis continued, “Students seem to be much in need of art in their curriculum. Art is a part of life, a part of existing. If we’re not allowed to express it, see it, feel it, or be encouraged in that way we’re missing something. “So I think my presence here presents somewhat of a mystery to some and is a big thing for them. It stimulates something in each child. It may be creative, it may not be, but if it sparks something and they start thinking about art, they may start observing and taking part in the creative arts.” Mr. Lewis believes that encouragement is the key to getting children to feel good about being able to draw. Since he will be at the school only through April 28, he will not have enough time to really develop a program with the teachers. However, he would like to see art used more in the general subject studies. He felt that it could be an effective method for better subject understanding and participation by some students. “I have been surprised at how the students have taken to me, the opportunity to draw, and the draw- - ings I do. The interest and motivation have surprised me. All have participated and enjoyed it,” Mr. Lewis continued. “I’ve also been surprised by some of the children’s abilities. Some of them are very talented.” One very effective activity that Mr. Lewis conducted was with' the fifth grade classes. They were studying geology so he led them through a landscape drawing exercise. “I got them to close their eyes for a couple of minutes and then I got them to draw a picture in their minds of a landscape by visualizing the mountains and trees, the colors, the fields and fences. When they finished visualizing everyone launched right into drawing a landscape including everything they had visualized and elaborated on what they had thought of,” Mr. Lewis explained. Mr. Lewis noted that in city schools art is a large part of the program and he hoped to see more in the rural areas. “Art is one of the basics that make the structured parts of an educational system more fun. It could be a major tool for learning and give a better balance to learning,” he concluded. The First National Bank Association is sponsoring an art contest for all public schools of Virginia. Winning entries will be included in their 1987 calendar. Each grade is responsible for one month of the year. Kindergarten begins with January and the 11th grade will conclude with December. Senior entries RCHS hosts newspaper contest By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “On what day of the week is Jerry’s fresh fruit molding? What countries supported the US attack on Libya? What number would you call to buy four hogs? How long will the cosmonauts stay in space?” Could you find the answers to these questions in the April 16 issue of the Culpeper Star-Exponentl This was the task of Culpeper Junior High School and Rappahannock County High School eighth grade remedial reading students last Wednesday as they competed in a newspaper reading contest in the Rappahannock High School’s library. Each team had 15 minutes to preview the Star-Exponent. After the time period was up Ms. Pamela Rowe, Rappahannock Special Services Coordinator, asked preparedquestions about the paper’s contents. The teams had one minute in which to find the answer. The team whose captain pushed the buzzer first was allowed to give the answer. If the answer given was incorrect the other team had 30 seconds to answer. Each correctly answered question was worth one point. Rappahannock’s team consisting of Captain Charles Slaughter, John Grigsby, Irving Freeman, Bill Atkins, Sherri Wines, Teresa Jenkins, Kim Williams, Herbert Shanks, Joe Slaughter, and Lewis Wynkoop got off to a slow start. They broke the ice by correctly answering the question, “How many people were killed in Tripoli?” They never gave up hope but Wakefield students win national Latin awards Competing with 63,000 students nationwide in the 1986 American Classical League National Latin Examination, Wakefield students have won a total of 16 awards, including three first-place gold medals and two second-place silver medals. In Latin I, first-place awards were won by Hank Sohn and Jeff Dickerson. The second-place award in Latin I was won by Bjorn Lindholm. The Latin II first place award went to Wakefield junior Sean Bennett, and the second-place silver award to David Norris, also a junior. The Magna Cum Laude thirdplace award in Latin III (Prose) went to freshman Tobias Dengel. Other Wakefield award winners were: Elizabeth du Frane, thirdplace award in Latin I; Tanja Lindholm, Lewis Martin, Chris Larrieu, Alex Duncan, Jesus Blanco and Jason Buratti — Cum Laude Awards in Latin I; Susanna Homg, Cum Laude Award in Latin II, and Rae Lutes and Stephen Butler, Cum Laude Awards in Latin III. In all, 88 Wakefield students in grades 7-11 participated in the National Latin Examination. In the National Greek Examination in which both high school and college students competed, thirdplace awards were won by Wakefield students Caroyln Shaw, a sophomore, and by Rae Lutes, a senior. could not surpass the “quick-on-thebuzzer” Culpeper team. The score was Culpeper 28, Rappahannock 11. Ms. Rowe presented a bookmark to each member on the winning team. After the competition the fourth period home economics class provided refreshments for both schools’ contestants. “Even though we lost I think it was a good learning experience for everybody involved,” commented Mrs. Deb Mills, reading lab instructor. Captain Charles Slaughter told about his duties as team captain. “Mrs. Mills selected me because I’m calm. I had to use the buzzer and tell the answers to Ms. Rowe. I had to answer the question calmly and not be rude.” Student John Grigsby stated, “Being in the contest and studying newspapers will help me in the future to find things in the paper. I’ll know where* to look for certain things. If I want to buy something I’ll know to look in the classified ad section. I’ll know where important things are that I’m interested in.” Mrs. Mills explained how the contest was formed. She and Ms. McCay, Culpeper Junior High remedial reading instructor, took a master’s degree class together. “We both found out that we had our students read newspapers daily and so we decided to have a contest. As far as we know no one has ever done this before.” Plans for the contest were discussed during the summer and a contest was held in Culpeper last fall and Rappahannock won. The contestants were eighth graders because this was the class that Mrs. Mills and Ms. McCay had in common. Top students or students who had a desire to compete were members of the panel while other classmates gave moral support. Mrs. Mills said, “Anybody who wanted to play was given the opportunity. I think it’s great that these kids could compete in an academic situation.” The students applied listening skills, comprehension skills, categorization skills, and verbal skills. Mrs. Mills explained, “Since I’ve been using the papers, for four or five years, I really feel their reading skills have gotten much better. We read the Culpeper paper four days a week and the Rappahannock paper one day.” Mrs. Mills continued, “They have to write an article once a week, read it, and give the main idea for it. It lets us know whether they really understand the article. I think that reading a newspaper is one of the survival skills that everyone has to have.” Mrs. Mills concluded by saying, “Funds are going to be cut drastically and newspapers cost money. Therefore, I don’t know that we’ll be able to continue with this type of curriculum. The biggest bulk of my program is newspapers. I would love to see something from somewhere to happen so we can continue reading our newspapers.” Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News WATCHING Artist in Residence Dan Lewis at work are Vincent Grigsby and Roy Thomas. will be judged for the cover. Mr. Lewis said, “While I’m working with the kids I’ll pick ones that would be good to enter the contest. They will be judged regionally, then the best from each region will be judged to come up with a state winner which will be used in their calendar.” Suzanne Parker wished that Mr. Lewis could stay there all year. “If he were here all year we would probably get to do a lot more art.” School menus RCES April 28-30 Monday — Chicken nuggets, macaroni & cheese, buttered peas, fresh apple wedge, homemade biscuit/butter, choice of milk.

Choosing the proper site for sludge application can almost eliminate the chances for contamination of ground or surface water, according to EPA. The land should have a slope of not more than 6 percent to prevent runoff and erosion. Streams and lakes may be further protected by a requirement for a surrounding buffer zone where sludge application is prohibited. The pH of the soil is vitally important in site selection. The solubility of most heavy metals tends to increase as soils become increasingly acidic. This means that uptake of metals by plants and downward leaching of metals towards the groundwater will be greater with acidic soils. Therefore, a soil pH of 6.5 or above should be required when sludge is applied to the land, according to EPA. Moreover, a pH of 6.5 should be maintained for several years after application, since heavy metals may continue to be present in the soil. So annual monitoring — with lime additions to raise the pH where necessary — should be continued. Sludge smells. There’s no getting around that fact. But its odor is neither as strong nor as offensive as the smell of cow, swine, sheep or horse manure that commonly hangs over farming communities. Sludge looks like wet peat moss, according to a Virginia Tech booklet of sludge questions and answers. And it has the same earthy smell as peat moss, with most of its odor causing compounds removed by stabilization processes. According to Bob Dennis of the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, the county must either lift its moratorium and accept land application of sludge or provide a landfill for sludge disposal before the long awaited Sperryville sewage treatment^lant can get an operating permit from the state. From an environmental standpoint, land application is preferable. Landfill disposal “presents a far greater risk of groundwater contamination or production of odors be cause much larger volumes of wastes are disposed of on a site,” according to the EPA booklet, Sludge and the Land. “Naturally, we’re going to have to do some testing of Sperryville’s sludge, but it is our opinion and that of the health department that it will be clean sludge, class A sludge suitable for land application,” said Mr. Dennis, who has worked with the Sperryville project for the past four years as secretary and chairman of theWSA. “Employed for decades by many communities in the mid-West, the technique makes an asset out of what otherwise is a problem: It turns a waste into a valuable resource by using the land to recycle the organic matter and nutrients that the sludge contains,” notes the EPA publication. “When properly applied to the land, the sludge conditions the soil and serves as a fertilizer supplement that can be put to beneficial use in agriculture, forestry, land reclamation and other land management activities.” Races (Continued from Page 1) ber victor at Fairfax, is also entered at Rappahannock in both the ownerrider and the open timber contests. Other cross entries in the two races include John Beasley’s My Happy Way, a winner at Blue Ridge, and David Semmes’ Phenom. Paul B. Cramer Jr.’s 1986 Seven Comers champion and point-to-point Horse of the Year, Cookin’ N Lookin, which beat Marat at Old Dominion, is also entered in the open timber race. Gary Baker’s Quixotic, a multiple winner over timber, has been entered in the open timber race, though he is also listed in the open timber sanctioned race at Foxfield the day before. Likewise Rappahannock Hunt huntsman Oliver Brown’s Roman Hunt, a two-time winner of the- Rappahannock open timber race, is cross-entered at Foxfield. An open flat contest opens the card at the Sperryville course. A field of 13 including Lavinia Currier’s Coosaw, winner of the Middleburg Bowl, is entered. A ladies’ timber race with eight entries will follow the open timber race. None of the season’s winning ladies’ mounts is entered in this race, which should leave it open. Patti Cassel’s Avid Speaker, which ran well at Fairfax last week to finish second in the ladies’ race, is likely to be a strong contender. Vicki Dugan’s Mid City, this year’s winner of the Ruhsam Challenge Plate for old-fashioned point-to-point races, could also be a factor. Vicki’s daughter Dawn, who rode Mid City to her old-fashioned championship, will once again handle the reins. Another veteran of the old-fashioned races, Lannie Simmons’ George, is also entered in the ladies’ race, but is crossentered in the Foxhunters’ timber race, seventh on the card. The open hurdle, fourth on the card, has a strong field of 17. Winners in the field include James Trep tow’s Arminius, a winner at Warrenton and Morven Park last year, Mrs. T. A. Randolph’s Tingles Image, a recent winner at Fairfax and Oatlands, and John Branscome’s Star Billing, a winner at Piedmont. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Bullitt’s Tic Tac, a winner at Old Dominion, is also entered. The smallest field entered at Rappahannock is for the junior flat race which has two ponies, Jill Waterman’s Lil Fritz and David DeMichele’s Master Charge, and two horses, Felix Nuesch’s Tyler Falls, winner last week at Fairfax, and Dawn Dugan’s Mongo’s Champ. Instead of horses a large, unruly pack of hounds takes to the course for the day’s final race. It’s not a recognized, or even an organized pack, and many of the hounds often decide halfway through the race that they’d really rather do something else and take to the surrounding woods for adventure. It’s a lot of fun to watch as some 50 to 100 hounds leap from the back of pickup trucks in pursuit of a drag trail and then gradually taper off to only one or two as the trail returns to the finish line. Cost of admission to the races at Rappahannock, including the hound race, is $3 per person and $5 for parking. Tickets (Continued from Page 5) suggested Charlotte Malikoff — a lady finger confection much advanced over Charlotte Russe. Could it be made individually? John favors a chicken salad with toasted almonds on an orange jelled base — there’s something about orange and chicken, especially if dressed with frosted grapes, avocado slices and orange sections. The clock ticked on. Very little forward movement. A computer had broken down, leaving only one ticket window operating. Even more popular than Kirov tickets were those to hear The Monkeys. The line, from time to time, was assured that all areas for tickets were still available. Each was handed a legal sized sheet of paper with every event from now until autumn listed with names, dates, prices. All we had to do was circle what we wanted and present this with our money or credit cards when we arrived at the window. It took only a second for us to fill out our sheets, but we looked at CASTLETON FIRE & RESCUE DEPARTMENT DINNECN Roast Beef and Turkey with ail the trimmings April 25 - 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Adults $6.50 Children $3.25 Plenty of desserts For more information call 937-4065 what was coming: Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie, Judy Collins, Christopher Plummer reading Shakespeare, Die Fledermaus — really something, if not many things, for everyone. We found that all this tod wdfe printed in the newspaper in loving detail. Kirov ballet ticket buyers were only part of the crowd. A broken down computer meant that all these pleasure seekers, ordering this, that and the other ticket for months in advance made a slow process even slower. Each ticket was printed as it was purchased. No computer, no ticket. Four o’clock came and passed. The line at the end had long ere now been cut off 300 or so behind us, back beyond where we had started at 11 a.m. A command decision was made at 4 p.m.: No more tickets could be sold to the people standing behind the man in the purple shirt. But you could sign up with your name and address, your order, and you could pay. The orders would be processed and the tickets sent, in order. Anne and John discussed this with the powers. Hoped they got something assured. We did as instructed and left at 4:40 p.m. for Rappahannock, only an hour and a half s drive home. John had said, “Please don’t notice if you see me cry.” At that moment, Diana was swallowing tears and Anne owned to a problem too, but in fact, we all laughed and smiled some more. If the tickets come, we hope everyone enjoys the program. If Dr. Young has another good idea, we warn people to watch out.

Planners (Continued from Page 1) i application was necessary because the zoning ordinance does not in- ' elude a use category for religious retreats. “Church school/retreat was a shorthand condensation of our application by the zoning administrator,” Mr. Chapman said. He repeated that 1 the structure on the 100 acres would operate as a retreat center only on the weekends and only for small groups of 20 or fewer. Jim Thomason, recently granted a use permit for a bed and breakfast business by Washington’s Town Council, explained that the council “chose to grant the permit to us personally rather than to the property." By following the same approach, the county could alleviate worry over what might be done with the land and the 12-room structure once the Chapmans are no longer in control, he said. “That would be very agreeable to us,” Mr. Chapman acceded. Neighboring landowner Holton Montague expressed concern over “intent versus reality.” The Chapmans’ altruism might be outvoted by the bank holding the mortgage on the property, should the retreat center prove unsuccessful, he said. There will be no bank, no loan holder, no mortgage, Mr. Chapman replied. By selling other property they own, he and his wife would have the cash to purchase the 100 acres (now in two adjoining lots) on Route 231 plus build the 12-bedroom residence, Mr. Chapman said. Of Mr. Montague’s concern about sewage disposal, Mrs. Chapman said that the health department requires a septic field adequate for 20 people, seven days a week, even though the Chapmans alone will be using the facilities on week days. “So there’s quite a large safety margin.” Her husband noted that the health department also requires storage provisions to ensure sufficient water for weekend guests at the retreat center. But water consumption will be no greater drain on the water table than if two families lived fulltime on the two lots proposed as the retreat center site, according to Mr. Chapman. “I need only to mention the words ‘ski lodge’ to bring into focus the white elephant already existing in the county,” said Mitzie Young, referring to the defunct ski lodge with its commercial zoning in Harris Hollow. “This is not an appropriate use of agricultural land,” said the Castleton resident. “I don’t see how Landfill (Continued from Page 1) with a mudhole” when unusually heavy rains interrupted construction at a new landfill site last fall. “They found a neighboring county to take their trash for three weeks until they could get their trenches dug,” Mr. Forman reported. “But I don’t think you all are going to find a county that will take your trash for six months to a year,” he predicted. Do the supervisors have an interim plan for disposing of Rappahannock’s solid waste? Mr. Forman chuckled. “Last I heard, they were going to put it up in the newspaper office until they could figure out what to do with it!” Be Resourceful. Recycle.

They should go where the Comprehensive Plan designates,” said A. Y.Stokes, planning commissioner and neighboring landowner. He maintained that the property is . . i ___ ,1 .lin un 1 n f oil Kilt I IV/L Lt\J\ ~ “ rather is in a conservation zone by virtue of its slope in excess of 14 percent. Approval of the retreat center would be detrimental to the environment, he said, through increased erosion and increased drain on the water table. “There are houses immediately below (the proposed building site). Their wells could be polluted." According to Mr. Stokes, the highway department would require the Chapmans to provide paved 30foot deceleration and entrance lanes on Route 231 for their commercial venture. And while the Chapmans say they’ll have only quiet groups at their retreat center, “whoever owns it after the Chapmans could have delinquent youngsters from the inner city,” Mr. Stokes concluded. “There’s no need for this type of thing,” maintained Phil Irwin. “The liability far outweighs any benefits.” “The need for retreat centers has been well documented,” countered Jim Thomason, the lone speaker in favor of the Chapmans’ application. “It’s an injustice to compare this with the ski area. One of the difficulties in running a ski lodge in Rappahannock County is the absence of snow,” he said, adding that the lack of snow won’t have a similar detrimental impact on the success of a religious retreat. “As I looked at the structure, it became obvious that it was a motel — a religious motel,” said Planning Commissioner Werner Krebser. Estimating the cost of the Chapmans’ proposed building at $400,000, he American Heart Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE g y g y g y g y $ $ NUGGETS OF TRUTH $ By REV.

We all came out here because we like the quietness. The more people who come out, the less quietness we have ... We have to put a certain amount of control on to protect what we have.” Charles Estes, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission, said he viewed the retreat center as a commercial enterprise. Commissioner Fannon agreed, noting that the center would still be categorized as commercial even if it doesn’t make a profit. “I’m inclined to believe it’s a commercial activity also,” said Commissioner Newbill Miller. And as a commercial venture, it requires a rezoning, not a special use permit, he maintained. Mr. Estes affirmed “absolutely” that the land the Chapmans have contracted to purchase, pending zoning approval, is in a conservation zone, not an agricultural zone as announced in the public notice of the application. “I think the BZA needs legal advice on this,” Mr. Miller added. “Our recommendation should point out the areas we think are trouble areas,” he suggested as the commissioners voted unanimously to recommend that the zoning board deny the Chapmans’ special use permit application. The BZA will consider the Chapmans’ request at its 9 a.m. meeting May 23 in the Gay Street Theater. RAY T CANNON CO.

Morehouse of Washington has declared his candidacy for mayor of the town. Having made his decision too late to appear on the printed ballot, he’s asking voters to write his name in the empty space under mayor, making sure to use his middle initial. “Otherwise,” said Mr. Morehouse, “the election board has to consider the vote as being for two candidates (Mr. Dean and Mr. Morehouse).” He was asked to run by two present council members, Mr. Morehouse said, and agreed partly from a sense of responsibility to the town and partly because he feels grateful for the acceptance given him after only three years in the county. “I believe you get out what you put in to each situation,” Mr. Morehouse said. “I’ve tried to be involved wherever I’ve lived, and this is a special place. I do feel an obligation.” Mr. Morehouse is serving on the board of the Child Care and Learning Center and is a member of the town Board of Zoning Appeals. “I’m impressed by how much can be done by a small community when there’s a concerted effort,” he said. “We raised $265,000 for the new Sursum Corda building. That’s really a lot when you think of how small we are.” Mr. Morehouse sees this as an encouraging sign for dealing with the town’s needs. “I think that the first step in thinking about town rev Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088-Office Flint Hill - Compact 3 bedroom home, bath, basement, choice 1 Vz acre lot. $57,000.

The water system, the most likely future expense, should be studied, and a systematic repair of weak spots undertaken.” He would like to see both the architectural review board and the planning commission refined and made more functional. “These are positive tools for planning, and the people should be able to use them without apprehension,” he said. “We need to explain them better, and we need for everyone to understand that the town is basically a collection of small home owners with the same or similar interests,” he said. The candidate is very positive about the town: “I don’t have any preconceived notions about how the town should grow,” he said. “It’s growing in many ways, even if not in density. It’s growing in enthusiasm, spirit and the diversity of activities going on. It’s getting to be, more than ever, a desirable place to live.” Mr. Morehouse said he was attracted to the town by the richness of its history and architecture and was completely won over by the warmth of the townspeople. “I was tremendously touched by how helpful and accepting people have been,” he said. Mr. Morehouse is married to the former Linda Waddell, whose family has owned property in the area for > 35 years, and they have a baby girl, Sarah. “We agreed that this is a perfect place to raise children,” Mr. Morehouse said. “I like the idea of many babies of the same generation all growing up together in the town. For the protection of the town children, Mr. Morehouse would like to see the speed limit in the center of town lowered, the speed limits all over town observed, and other ordinances enforced. “We’re getting a lot more pedestrian traffic here, and we need to protect those people too,” he said. “There’s a lot of life and spirit in the town now,” Mr. Morehouse said. “I think everyone realizes how lucky we are to live here. We need to build from that.” Mr. Morehouse is a builder for Bush Construction Co. His name will not be listed on the ballot and must be written in as Dean F. Morehouse.
