The total on the draft budget presented by Mr. Cox is almost $5 million and represents a 10 percent increase over the current year’s “bottom line” of $4,540,413. “It basically reflects requests as presented,” said the accountant. According to the draft, the real estate tax rate necessary to support $5 million in expenditures would be 67 cents per $100 of assessed value if surplus fiinds aren’t to be used. As a general rule, the county should maintain a surplus equal to 5 percent of its annual budget, according to Mr. Cox. In Rappahannock’s case, that means approximately $200,000. Supervisor Newbill Miller proposed advertising a tax rate of $62 cents for the required public hearing on the county budget. “That’s going to be cutting it ter ribly fine,” warned Supervisor Charles Estes. “I’d like to see us advertize it at 64 cents and then we can come down,” Chairman Hubert Gilkey said. Reluctantly, Supervisor Miller concurred. “But I want it understood that I want to see the rate come WAY DOWN from that. That’s a safety net figure, as far as I’m concerned.” With the $3 million school budget already approved, the board must make reductions in other areas if the advertized tax rate is to come down. A review of the preliminary county budget shows requests from various departments generally at a higher level than last year. The largest percentage increases come in: • Zoning administration, up almost 400 percent to $50,000, reflecting the new position of county administrator. • Reassessment, up 60 percent to $40,000 to begin the county’s required reassessment process. • Sheriffs department, up 35 percent, reflection the addition of health insurance. • Fire and rescue, up 190 percent with the county requested to contribute $59,340 to volunteer fire and rescue associations. Due to recent staggering increases in liability insurance premiums, the county is being asked by the volunteer associations to begin paying the pre miums on coverage for the associations’ vehicles and buildings. • Jail operation, up 33 percent to cover salaries for an additional correctional officer, dispatcher and cook. • Public assistance, up 55 percent. (Reductions in several categories are more than offset by the inclusion of $75,000 for fuel assistance grants, a line item with no local impact since the expenditure is balanced by $75,000 in revenue from the state earmarked for this program.) • Clerk of the Circuit Court, up 52 percent with the bulk coming in line items for purchase of new equipment and record books and salaries for deputies. • Planning Commission, up 25 percent, with decreases in wages and office supplies offset by $4,500 for professional planning services. Offices and departments with increases of 20 percent or less include the treasurer’s office (9 percent), commonwealth’s attorney (16 percent), building inspection (20 percent), mental health and mental retardation (seven percent), welfare administration (20 percent), food stamp adminsitration (13 percent), fuel assistance (seven percent), and the library fund (14 percent).

This aerial photo shows the existing privately owned and jperated landfill near Woodville. A closure plan has been ordered by Robert Forman of the state Health Department, who estimates the remaining life of the landfill is “50 to 60 days.” Approval of a new site will require at least six months, according to Mr. Forman. County wants to put sludge in dump By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “We don’t know enough about sludge to allow it to be dumped on the land . . . I’m afraid of putting it in the landfill, but I’d rather do that than spread it on the land,’’ said Supervisor Newbill Miller as the board Monday approved disposal of sludge from Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant in the county landfill. In reaching their decision, the supervisors considered — and rejected — a dual approach of lifting the county’s moratorium on land application of sludge produced outside Rappahannock and requiring that haulers post a bond as an economic barrier against disposal of “outside” sludge here. ‘‘The Sperryville plant is already starting to accumulate sludge,” noted Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, reviewing events that led up to the board’s public hearing two weeks ago on land application of sludge. In order for the sewage treatment plant to obtain an operating permit from the state, the county must have a disposal plan for that sludge, he said. Rappahannock’s current moratorium against land application of outside sludge was intended “as a temporary thing, a stop-gap thing, until we could do a study. That study has been done now,” Mr. Luke said. (The study, conducted by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, shows Rappahannock has good overall potential for land application of sludge and septage.) Rappahannock’s prohibition against “outside” sludge is of “dubious legality,” according to an attorney general’s opinion cited by Mr. Luke. “You need a rational basis for distinguishing between Class A sludges that look the same under a microscope,” he told the sup* rvi sors. He acknowledged, however, that State Water Control Board representatives at the public hearing had made it clear that trucks hauling sludge into Rappahannock would not be constantly monitored. Should there be a “heavy metal” spill, would the county be liable for environmental damages, asked Supervisor Nelson Land. “If the state issues the permit, it’s the state’s problem,” Mr. Luke replied. He noted that the county may set up its own permitting reContinued on page 5 State official says disposal plan unacceptable Rappahannock’s sludge disposal plan is no plan at all, according to Robert Forman of the health department’s Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management. On Monday, the county supervisors voted unanimously to dispose of sludge in the county t landfill, the action a direct result of the state’s requirement for a sludge disposal plan. Without such a plan, Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant cannot obtain an operating permit, according to the county’s Water and Sewer Authority. “They have to get permission from us to put it in the landfill. They can’t put it in there until they get permission ” said Mr Fonnan on Wednesday, adding that permission to use the county’s current privately owned and operated landfill near Woodville won’t he forthcoming. “They can’t do it,” he emphasized. Not only must his office OK a sludge management plan before landfill disposal is authorized but the health department’s division of water programs and the State Water Control Board must likewise approve. “We’re talking about at least two, three months for that to happen,” he said !f sludge is to be buried, he noted, it must be mixed evenly with garbage, at a ratio of one part sludge to six parts garbage. “And the moisture content has to be way down,’’ Mr. Forman added. Noting that he has already directed that a closure plan be submitted for the landfill on Clifton Clark’s property, Mr. Forman maintained that Rappahannock “doesn’t even have a landfill.” The supervisors’ action of two weeks ago to remove the dumpsters at Slate Mills and Chester Gap ‘ won’t extend the life of the landfill any,” Mr. Forman said. The landfill has sufficient capacity to handle solid waste “until the end of June and that’s it,” said Mr. Forman. He noted that he has not yet been asked to evaluate a new site and repeated that approval of a new location for a landfill will take at least six mouths and possibly as long as a year. — Daphne Hutchinson Supervisors OK 13 percent raise for local teachers The supervisors approved the School Board’s proposed $3 million budget virtually intact on Monday, giving teachers a 12 percent salary increase. But they served notice that future expenditures — particularly the long awaited high school expansion slated to begin this spring —will get closer scrutiny. “To me, the most important thing is to have adequately paid teachers,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. “We hear a constant complaint that our salaries aren’t adequate and I think, that’s correct.” Butj Mr. Mittef Siskedi liditf can thfe board pay its teachers enough to bring them up from the bottom 20 percent in salary ranking in the state and, at the same time, stop the upward spiral of the county’s tax rate? “it’s a vicious cycle that occurs every year,” Mr. Miller maintained. “When people called me and asked me to go back on the board, it wasn’t because they think I’m such a fine fellow,” said the Hampton District representative who returned to the board last month after a 15-year absence to fill the vacancy left by the death of Clarence Baldwin. “They told me *We want this tax situation corrected!”' Turning to the proposed high school construction program, Mr. Miller maintained that amortization of the $1.5 million literary loan for construction will up the county budget by 7 percent. “It’s inevitable that it takes away from teachers’ salaries,” he said. He also looked to the number of teachers in the county’s public Continued on page 18 Supervisors schedule pound hearing May 21 i a UKe to set a public hearing for the dog pound to be put at Scrabble,” announced Board of Supervisors Chairman Hubert Gilkey at Monday’s board meeting. “I think it’s a mistake! I think it should be at the same place as the landfill,” countered Supervisor Nelson Lane. “We need to make a decision,” the chairman said, pointing out that a hearing is set in June for the Virginia Federation of Humane Society’s lawsuit against the county for failure to comply with state standards on animal shelters. “How far down the road is a landfill?” Mr. Gilkey asked, reminding his fellow board members that the site at Scrabble already has water and electrical hookups. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, legal counsel to the board in his dual capacity as county attorney, advised referring the proposal for locating the pound at Scrabble to the Planning Commission for a determination on whether the land use complies with the county’s comprehensive plan. The board agreed to hold a joint hearing with the planners on Wednesday, May 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse. Currently, stray dogs are housed in a shelter built and maintained by animal warden Jack Bruce on his property near the Town of Washington. In accordance with an earlier decision to build a shelter to state specifications at Scrabble, the supervisors spent over $4,000 on improvements there before abandoning the plan in the face of opposition from neighboring landowners. The lot at Scrabble, which the county already owns, is the site of an old school, now falling into ruin. County dumpsters are also located on the property, just off Route 522. Washington elects mayor, council By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff W ri ter The Town of Washington held its bi-annual election of the mayor and the Town Council on Tuesday. There was no surprise in the voting for mayor. Dean F. Morehouse, running as an unopposed write-in candidate, won handily with a total of 52 votes. Other citizens receiving write-in votes were J. Newbill Miller with two and Thomas Tupper, Mark Bailey, David Konick, C. E. Giles, Kermit Wearley, and Joyce Kramer, each with one vote. There were nine candidates for the six seats on the Town Council, although J. Newbill Miller became ineligible to serve on the council when he was appointed last month to the Board of Supervisors to fib the vacancy left by the death of Clarence Baldwin. Mr. Miller’s name remained on the ballot and he received 21 votes. Treasurer Brad Fisher was the top vote-getter with 75. Mr. Fisher has served on the council since 1978, and he will bring his experience as treasurer to bear on innovative and “relatively painless” sources of revenue for the town. He has also voiced concerns about the town’s aging water system, and has spoken in favor of a full-time employee for that system. E velyn Willis, first elected to the council in 1984 received 60 votes. Mrs. Willis has also expressed concern about the town’s revenues. She feels that zoning and growth are two other important issues. “The town Continued on page 18

The month opens fair and mild but expect some showers on the 5th7th, with the 16th-19th changeable. Rain closes out the month on the 30th and 31st, although temperatures will be warming as we head into June. Full Moon comes on the 23rd at 3:45 p.m. which, time to the tradition that “April showers bring May flowers,” some call The Flower Moon. Tornado watch is indicated from the Mid-West heading into Ohio and Pennsylvania the 15th-17th. It’s gardening time — America’s biggest leisure time hobby. A wise rule to remember: you can plant early (cool weather) crops late but you cannot plant late (warm weather) crops early. Cole family crops (cabbage, broccoli, etc.), asi well as parSnips and rutabagas, often do better if planted late for fall harvest. They won’t bolt and you avoid many of the diseases. Moles may be making a unsightly mess of your lawn with their tunnels. However, they are destroying the Japanese beetle grubs which could later eat your shrubs and flowers.

BZA tables retreat decision, plans to visit site By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals tabled action on an application for a religious retreat center in the F.T. Valley, finding that the ordinance requires a site visit as a prerequisite to a decision. In the four-hour hearing on April 23, the BZA members tried to play peacemaker, attempting to allay concerns of neighboring landowners by adding restrictions to the permit sought by Renate and Ted Chapman. In the process, they resolved questions concerning the zoning oi0 the property and secured an offer oi a market study on the demand for a small retreat center here. The Chapmahs want to build a 12-bedroom retreat center on two adjoining parcels of 17.25 and 77.5 acres on Route 231 at Buckner’s Corner. They are asking to serve groups of no more than 20 on 30-35 weekends during the year. “Primarily, it will be our house five days a week,” Mr. Chapman told the BZA. He said that the design will leave 99 percent of the land “open and unspoiled”, in character with the residential/agricultural neighborhood. “Visitors will be coming for quiet study and meditation. They will hardly be noticed,” he said. Mr. Chapman said he is Episcopalian and his wife Catholic but that the retreat center would not be church affilliated and would not seek tax exempt status. He described the zoning on the property as agricultural (which it was advertized as in the public hearing notice) and pointed out that the actual building site is on a flat ridge where slope is well below 14 percent. Renate Chapman acknowledged that the county’s planning commission had recommended denial of the special use permit application on the grounds that the retreat center constituted a commercial venture. “We’re not making a profit on this operation. We won’t be making ourselves known to the public,” she said, repeating that she and her husband have the financial resources to buy the land and build the retreat center without taking out a mortgage or loan and therefore will not have to amortize a debt but just cover operating expenses. She also noted that two-thirds of the uses permitted in an agricultural zone are “very clearly commercial.” “A lot of people are concerned about what’s going to happen when we die,” Mrs. Chapman continued. She told the BZA that she and her husband would like to see ownership transferred to a religious group that would continue to run the property as a retreat center but if that’s not possible, the structure could be converted to a private residence by knocking out dividing walls in the small bedrooms. “Our building will be more like a residence. It will be OUR residence . . . It’s no larger than many other private homes in the county,” she said. “It’s certainly not large enough to make a hotel or motel of it,” architect John Wiebenson assured the BZA. “I bring up motel because a couple of citizens seem concerned over what it might be rather than what it is,” he said, describing the bedrooms for visitors as “monastic cells rather than guest suites.” Plans call for the building to have two bathrooms to serve the guest rooms. The structure will be constructed on a concrete slab foundation, pointed out BZA member Gregory Monahan. “It would be exceedingly difficult to add bathrooms,” he said, speaking from his experience as a contractor. “You say it’s impossible to make this into a motel because it’s too small,” said BZA member Peter Kramer. “But we have an inn here that’s about the same size.” “Given enough money, you can make anything into a motel,” conceded the architect. “If you’re willing to spend enough, you can make a bam into a motel.” “But what could it be converted into easily?” asked BZA Chairman Lee Bird. “The easiest thing to convert it into would be a private residence,”Mr. Wiebenson replied. In response to questions regarding sewage, Mrs. Chapman said that thq health department requires a septic field with capacity based on continuous occupancy of the retreat center by 22 people 365 days a year. “So we have a very large margin of safety,” she said, adding that the field has already been approved. In addition, she said, the health department will also approve the kitchen facilities before the retreat center can operate. Water usage will be equivalent to that of six people living full time in a private residence, according to Mr. Chapman. He noted that the center’s well will have an attached storage tank so that the weekend draw down on the area’s water table will not be excessive. In response to the BZA’s suggestions after listening to concerns from neighboring landowners, the Chapmans agreed to: • A prohibition on a swimming pool • Issuance of the special use permit to them as individuals rather than to the property so when ownership is transferred, the new owners would have to apply for a permit to use the property for other than a residence. • A prohibition against using the retreat center for any type of religious or other school. • Sending out of laundry to avoid excessive water demands. Chairman Lee Bird read into the record letters of support for the project from Rev. Jennings Hobson of Trinity Episcopal Church who described it as a“positive addition, one of the best possible uses of the land in question” and from Rev Steve Scoggin of Washington Baptist who described it as “a trasteful, well conceived plan that could benefit many in our church.” Also by letter, Ray Scherer, property owner on Route 231, opposed the center as a commercial venture in a dedicated conservation zone while Rockville attorney William Tannager, another neighboringlandowner, opposed it as erroniously a rezoning for a rest home for clergy. “Who’s going to come?” asked neighboring landowner E.P. Luke, former chairman of the county’s Board of Supervisors. He questioned the spending of upwards of $400,000 without a market study to determine demand for a retreat cen Sean Kilpatrick for the Rappahannock News HARDWORKING VOLUNTEERS at the elementary school Saturday included Jim Clark and Roy Leake (on tractor). Supervisors looking for an answer to handicapped access regulations Faced with the possibility of a legal challenge and loss of federal revenue sharing funds, Rappahannock’s supervisors are looking for a legitimate way out of compliance with requirements that handicapped access be provided in public buildings. By letter, attorney Frank Reynolds has asked the board to take the necessary steps to conform to federal and state standards for handicapped access to the county courthouse. Mr. Renolds represents Richard Abell, Castleton resident who is confined to a wheelchair. In a graphic demonstration of the courthouse barriers, Mr. Abell and his wife Joyce had to get help from the supervisors in maneuvering his wheelchair up and down the courtroom steps for Monday’s meeting. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke reported that Virginia’s state building code does not require that the courthouse be brought into compliance with regulations for handicapped access just because the upstairs courtroom is being renovated. “If we’d put in a new entrance or a new bathroom, then the entrance and the bathroom would have to meet standards (for handicapped access),” he told the board. “But just because we’ve painted and put up sheetrock in the courtroom doesn’t mean we have to install an elevator and ramps.” However, the commonwealth’s attorney noted that other legislation also speaks to handicapped regulations and he’s therefore seeking an attorney general’s opinion on whether the building code takes precedence. Mr. Luke added that he’s also not sure if federal regulations attached to revenue sharing funds require compliance with handicapped access standards, noting Continued on page 14 317 East Main St Front Royal, Virginia 22630 Mother s Day Sale! 20% Off The Entire Stock! Free boxing and gift wrapping Use Our Rear Entrance and Parking Open Fri. Nights Till 8 P.M. ter. And if there’s no demand, he added, will the Chapmans have to convert the building to another use? “If nobody shows up, it doesn’t make any difference ... We’ll be rattling around in a big house and eventually, we’ll sell it for a residence,” Renate Chapman replied. Mr. Chapman added that he knows of six Episcopal churches in the Washington Diocese alone that are looking for a retreat center for small groups. He added that he and his wife plan to talk to representatives from those churches and others with the aim of getting a firmer commitment. “We want to have assurances of visitors before we start to build but we could survive without them.” “We don’t have money coming out of our ears but we’re willing to commit what we do have to what we consider a ministry,” Mrs. Chapman added. “We’re not after income.. .We have to create a facility at our own risk, our own expense, before we can say “Wouldn’t you like to come here for a weekend?”’ If a survey shows no interest in a retreat center, she added, “we may build a residence just for ourselves on the property.” Adjoining landowner Paul Taylor called the center “an experimental project” in that churches have found it’s not feasible to serve groups smaller than 40 on retreats. “If they fail with 20, will the board let them have 40, 60, maybe 100? Where do we go from here? How far do we let them expand their commercial concern? Do we allow a motel?” He also questioned the impact that water demands from the center would have on the area’s water table. A.Y. Stokes, adjoining landowner and chairman of the county’s planning commission, noted that he has farmed the property the Chapmans have contracted to buy. Except for the house site, the slope is well in excess of 14 percent, he maintained, which would put it in a conservation rather than agricultural zone. “We’re dealing with conservation property. A commercial venture there is not in the best interests of the county,” he concluded. “Is it conservation or is it agricultural?” asked Mr. Monahan. Zoning administratoir Emiel Smet reported that the slope on most of the land is over 14 percent. “But it’s been used in an agricultural fashion,” he said, explaining why he had designated it as agricultural in the public notice of the permit application. Slope, not use, determines zoning under the current ordinance, the BZA agreed. But are the two or three flat acres that comprise the house site zoned agricultural? asked Mr. Monahan. “The BZA has never answered that question,” said Chairman Bird. He noted that the issue was raised earlier by an application for a communications tower on the flat top of Bessie Belle Mountain but the permit request was dropped before it was resolved. “So we’re unable to determine at this point if (the actual house site) is in agricultural or conservation?” asked Mr. Monahan. “If you get into that kind of distinction, you going to set a precedent that’s going to bust this zoning ordinance wide open!” warned Col. Luke. Chairman Bird noted that the ordinance specifies that a piece of steep land surrounded by moderately sloped agricultural land is zoned conservation. “But the ordinance is silent on the reverse.” Generally, when an ordinance provides one thing and doesn’t provide another, the omission is deliberate, he said. “So off hand, I think it’s in a conservation district because the predominant slope is over 14 percent.” Checking the uses allowed in that zoning category, the BZA confirmed that all land uses in a conservation zone are by special permit. “The zoning ordinance is not explicit. It trusts everything to our discretion. That’s a daring thing to do!” noted Chairman Bird. Holton Montague, adjoining landowner to the west of the proposed retreat center, also voiced concern over its impact on the water table, recalling that area streambeds have often dry during droughts. He also questioned the county’s ability to police and control a venture there. Mr. Monahan pointed out that the BZA must have expert testi mony in order to consider a proposed use’s impact on the water table. “You’ve given us unsubstantiated opinion. I understand your concern but we have no facts to judge it on.” Neighboring landowner Luther Jenkins questioned the expenditure of $400,000 when the Chapmans “don’t know what to expect” He said that his pastor runs a retreat center just 10 or 12 miles down the road from the Chapman’s proposed location “ and he can’t make ends meet. . . There he is a begging to have people come in on weekends.” “Once zoned for a commercial use, it will stay that way forever,” said Karl Romney. Mary Louise Bane worried over the potential liability if a guest at the center wandered onto her property and was injured by one of her horses. “That frightens me.” Frank Quanty maintained that granting the permit would set a precedent for commercial uses in the area. Ruth Richards of Sperryville described the retreat center proposal as “a lovely thing to do with 88 acres.” Jim Thomason, Washington resident and theologian at Georgetown University, likened the Chapman’s plan to a Quaker retreat house in Philadelphia and two Jesuit retreat centers in Maryland. Addressing Col. Luke’s demand for a market study, he volunteered to conduct such a study and report back to the BZA. In setting a site visit for Sunday, May 18, at 4 p.m., the BZA tabled a decision on the Chapman’s application until May 28 when the board meets next. The delay will give opponents and proponents time to secure additional information, including expert testimony on the impact of the center’s water demands and the effect on land values and public health that a similar retreat center in Huntly has had, the BZA members pointed out.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. V. THURSDAY, MAY 8,1986 It’s dirty work . . . By EUGENE J. McCARTHY The problem of the disposal of Rappahannock County’s trash may • seem to be a projblem of only limited ! and local interest. It is much more. It is part of a world problem, one which, in many respects, is more complicated and sophisticated — but no more difficult to solve — than that of Rappahannock. The most serious national waste disposal problem is that of radioactive materials left over from plants generating nuclear energy and bombs. The search for a repository for this dangerous waste began thirty years ago. The selection process in its beginning used established reasoned scientific standards. This process, known as “the first round,” turned up three possible sites: one in Washington State, one in Nevada, and one in Texas. The more recent round choices have been depersonalized and depoliticized, being made by computers which point to depositories in Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Virginia. Spokespersons for the chosen states have been unimpressed by the impartiality of the computers. Culpeper County’s “Black Jack” soil has not been designated despite its characteristics of neutrality and imperviousness. Suggestions have been made that nuclear waste be exported. One report has it that the Chinese Communist government has offered to accept it, in somewhat the same manner that the Japanese accepted tiie remains of American automobiles before World War II. The Chinese offer has not been accepted. Another national problem involving temporary containment is that of prison population which according to judges is too great for existing jail and prison facilities in many jurisdictions. The District of Columbia is a prime example. Its attempt to ship prisoners to a free-enterprise prison in Pennsylvania was cut short, after a short stay, by the Pennsylvania government. District prisoners appeared to be doomed, at least for Quest column several days, to riding about in buses while their fate was decided. Neither legislative bodies, governors, nor judges have yet agreed on how excess prisoners should be handled. Internal revenue rules for handling inventory have been suggested: LIFO, that is, Last In, First Out has been suggested, as has been FIFO, or First In, First Out, as well as LILO, Last In, Last Out, and a continuation of what seems to be present policy, FILO, First In, Last Out. The international waste problem involving such things as nuclear fallout, acid rain, pollution of the oceans and of international waters is all under negotiation. There is some possibility of progress towards improvement. However, the more difficult problem of what to do with deposed dictators, most of them formerly recognized as friends of the United States, is one that weighs heavily on our minds and tugs at our heartstrings. Somoza of Nicaragua could find no safe haven before he was killed. The Shah of Iran, denied permanent residence in the United States, died without real security, although his close supporters found shelter in Switzerland. DuValier, for old time colonial reasons one assumes, and possibly because of his French name, has been given temper * rary residence in France. Ferdinand Marcos remains in a kind of half-way house in Hawaii. Richard Nixon, having moved from his retreat in San Clemente, rebuffed when he sought an apartment in New York, has taken up residence in New Jersey, while Spiro Agnew enjoys the sort of desert exile of Palm Springs. Perhaps a solve-all solution is in order, such as a biannual shuttle launch sending a cargo of dictators, life-sentenced prisoners, nuclear waste and common Rappahannock trash off the face of the earth. Acid rain bill needs boost To the editor: March of this year witnessed two significant developments on acid rain. The National Academy of Sciences, in its third major acid rain study, showed clearly the relationship between pollution and acid rain damage to lakes, soil, trees, vegetation, buildings, statues, etc. Also, President Reagan finally publicly acknowledged that acid rain is a major environmental problem — a departure from his 1980 campaign stance in which he attributed most air pollution to decaying vegetation. House Bill 4567, the outgrowth of extensive negotiations, is a bipartisan piece of legislation designed to achieve pollution reduction at the lowest possible cost. It now has 155 co-sponsors and is expected to pass the House Health and Environment Subcommittee. The Office of Technology Assessment estimated the nationwide costs of the program at $3.4 billion to $4.5 billion per year. That is far less than the amount attributed to acid rain damage to natural and manmade resources. Public opinion polls have regularly shown that Americans are willing to pay reasonable amounts to rid themselves of this perilous environmental nightmare (acid rain). Problems for HR 4567 could come in the full Energy and Commerce Comn)ittee where it could be killed by simply doing nothing about it. Also, opponents of the bill could pressure some of the original cosponsors to walk away from the bill. So, it is extremely important to keep adding co-sponsors to the bill in order to make it difficult for opponents of the bill to delay or kill committee or floor consideration of the legislation. It is crucial that letters go to our congressional representative at once, urging him to sign on as a cosponsor of HR 4567. He is Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr., U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 20515. Time is of the essence as there is not much time left in this session of Congress. Our legislators must be told that the time for study of acid rain is past and that we must move on this issue to get an Acid Rain Bill in 1986. SARAH P. FAULCONER Conservation Chairperson Northern Shenandoah Valley Audubon Society Strasburg Access for all citizens To the editor: We believe that the public facilities of Rappahannock County should be available to all of its citizens. While we certainly respect the architectural and historical integrity of our beautiful old buildings, we are deeply concerned that everyone be able to use them for their intended purpose, comfortably and with dignity. Therefore, we strongly urge that the county comply with both the spirit and the letter of the federal law by installing ramps and elevators in our public buildings when renovations are planned and executed, thereby making them accessable to everyone. FRANKLIN and ESTHER SCHMIDT Woodville Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner TAKING ADVANTAGE of some of the cool spring weather this past weekend, Lee Atkins of Sperryville pauses a moment from clearing a stone fence of brush. Letters to the editor Sludge plan questioned To the editor: Today I had an opportunity to inspect the completed Sperryvillc sewage treatment plant in the com pany of an officer of the Water and Sewer Authority. I would like to share with your readers some of my observations. Essentially, the sewage (solids and^q^ids) is flushed from toilets in the village into WSA owned and installed septic tanks near the generating toilets in individual buildings (called “EDUs,” the liquid portion of the sewage (and only the liquid portion) moves from the WSA septic tanks under pump pressure down to a big black metal structure at the treatment plant where it is treated with chlorine and aerated to promote combination with oxygen in the atmosphere. This treated liquid waste is then pumped from the plant directly into the Thornton River alongside the plant. There is no sludge, as such, generated at the treatment plant — either wet or dry. No doubt a thin layer of solid matter (or sludge) will accumulate at the bottom of the big black box with the passage of time and this small amount of sediment, if dried, might well amount to only 46 pounds per year, as Daphne Hutchinson recently stated in her article in your newspaper. However, sludge in much larger amounts will accumulate in the WSA septic tanks at the EDUs (as in any septic tank) and must be removed periodically for the system to continue to function. I was told that about 20 EDUs in Sperryville are now hooked up to the system while the total number to be connected is about 250. Acceptance of the sewage treatment system and of the user fees necessary to support its operation has always been a problem in Sperryville itself and, apparently, continues to be. And yet, as long as one EDU in Sperryville remains out of the system, the whole purpose of the treatment plant (to cope with Sperryville’s high priority pollution problem) has been defeated. We must ask what is being done to get all toilets in Sperryville connected to the treatment plant? I have always believed, and still do, that, in the end, the operation of this plant will become a general Rappahannock County budget item. The numbers involved have always pointed to this conclusion despite repeated public assurances that the Sperryville plant’s operations would be made self-supporting through the user fees collected by WSA. We are left with this question: The county must have a plan for the disposal of what for the treatment plant to receive an official operating certificate? Certainly not the treated liquid effluent which is already disposed of into the Thornton River, as planned. With no appreciable sludge generated at the treatment plant itself, we can only be discussing disposal of the sludge. to< be, generated in, and periodically removed from; the individual WSA septic tapks at each EDU. Except for the bacteriological breakdown of solids in these septic tanks (as in all septic tanks), there is no further treatment of this septic tank sludge contemplated, to my knowledge. Further questions suggest themselves for the supervisors at this point: • How much septic tank sludge is to be generated each year in the WSA septic tanks when all 250 EDU’s are hooked up to the system? • Is this septic tank sludge (untreated except for bacteriological disintegration of solids and precipitation from sewage liquids) safe for disposal anywhere except for permanent storage in leak-proof and sealed reinforced concrete containers at the county’s new landfill? • If considered safe, as is, for disposal anywhere in the county, what was the “Sperryville problem” in the first place? And why the expenditure of $2.1 million of taxpayers funds for the construction of the treatment plant? One thing seems to be sure. The disposal of the septic tank sludge (or any other sludge) from Sperryville or elsewhere in the county on land here invites the introduction of outside sludge, including Blue Plains sludge produced in the D.C. area, as surely as lawyers exist ready to force our hand in the courtroom. We must bear in mind that the State Water Control Board and the Department of Health, as a matter of policy, want fecal sludge spread on agricultural land here, as was made manifest at the recent hearing at the Gay Street Theater. To these questions, Rappahannock County is only a small part of their total, statewide waste disposal problem. Both agencies will enter that courtroom as “a friend to the court,” no doubt, but not necessarily as a friend of this small county. They were not friends of this county or of the Rush River in the “Harris Hollow” case, as you will remember! I suggest that the supervisors keep our moratorium against the introduction of outside sludge in full effect and protest this moratorium against legal attack by finding an Newspaper criticized To the editor: I am writing in response to the last two publications of the Rappahannock News, the April 24 and May 1 issues, in which several important issues were either inaccurately reported or printed on the editorial page as the official stand of the paper. First, lets look at the editorial of April 24 where the editor concludes that because of a subdivision error committed by our temporary zoning administrator, many have glorified this ijpcu?.. . ment, almost proclaiming it the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel to come to Rappahannock. But many citizens of this county clearly disagree. And I cite the 1,054 signatures that were accumulated by members of a citizen’s organization of the County (Rappahannock Public Action Committee — RPAC) showing that many people in the county want something different than the restrictive yet pro-development Fauquier zoning ordinance which is currently undergoing possible revision. I ask, sir, why do you believe we should enact this document which clearly shows that special interests will thrive as a result of it? Where were you when the Planning Commission held two very large public hearings and five district meetings where only one meeting (the Hampton District) went for the proposed ordinance as the community wanted the downzoning of the controversial ski lodge property? Where were you when countless questions went unanswered by the planning commission and Mr. McNear? It should be obvious by now that this paper is the mouthpiece for the special interest lobbies in Rappahannock County, i.e. Realtors, sludge spreaders, etc. Second point — the sludge issue. There never should have been a sludge hearing on April 30 had our commonwealth’s attorney and our Board of Supervisors only spent more time and paid more attention to their jobs. I would like to say here that I have a high regard for all of these men, but come on, guys, let’s get it together. One draws it up, five adopt it as law, and all pay little attention afterwards. Our current moratorium only forbids the importation and spreading of sludge generated outside the county. It took local resident Robert Eastham to point this out. Again, the public hearing was not on the question of accepting sludge as Ms. Hutchinson stated in her questions to the board, and you reinterated in the editorial. The question was on the disposal of Sperryville’s sludge generated by the new system, but Ms. Hutchinson’s first question concerned the acceptance of this dangerous substance, as in the Blue Plains product. I wonder if the reason that The Rappahannock News supports the use of sludge is because the owner of the paper, Mr. Arundel, (a member of PEC) is in favor of it? This is an important issue and the importance should not be compromised by this paper’s biased reporting practices. Controversies, by definition, have more than one side. Consequently, to present the public with only one side of a controversy is, by definition to show bias. RONALD FRAZIER Amissville other means of disposing of whatever Sperryville generates except application to land (which would set us up for the expected lawsuit against us on discriminatory grounds). I have suggested now two alternative means of disposal for the supervisors to explore. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill 1 The return of real news To the editor: As new residents of Rappahannock County, we first began reading the Rappahannock News a couple of years ago when Daphne Hutchinson was its editor. We found the paper one of the more lively small town papers we have read in our 60-plus years. Since then the Rappahannock News has gone through, how many editors? Too many, as we are sure you will agree. Not only did we suffer through an embarrassing series of pop-up, shot-down editors but, far more im portant, we no longer knew what was going on in Rappahannock County. It’s good to see that you have rehired Mrs. Hutchinson to cover the very important county government news. Thanks to Mrs. Hutchinson’s thorough, accurate, and objective reportorial style as well as her highly intelligent mind and her curiosity, the Rappahannock News now provides us readers with what we most need to be able to carry out our responsibilities as citizens in the democratic process—a deeper understanding of what is going on in our government and our community. We appreciate the return of Mrs. Hutchinson to your newspaper. Many of us believe she is one of Rappahannock County’s treasured resources. JOYCE and RICHARD ABELL Woodville

The county may be sticking its neck out, too,” he warned. 5 “The people in my district are opposed to sludge from outside the county, but they realize we have to handle our.own septage and sludge,” interjected Supervisor Miller, Hampton District’s representative. He suggested requiring haulers to post a substantial bond to spread sludge on a large number of acres while setting a minimal bond for the small acreage application necessary to handle Sperryville’s sludge. The rationale for the difference would be the increased likelihood of an accident when a large number of acres is involved, he said. If the county affirms its willingness to allow land disposal of Sperryville’s sludge, “what happens if no one applies for a permit?” asked Mr. Luke. “That won’t be a problem,” answered Carson Johnson from the county’s Water and Sewer Authority. “We already have people who say they’d take it tomorrow.” The alternatives to allowing land application here are disposing of the sludge at the county landfill or finding another jurisdiction willing to accept the relative trickle that Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant produces, Mr. Luke reminded the board. He noted, however, that no takers for Sperryville’s sludge have been found and recalled that SWCB representatives believe landfill disposal to be riskier than land application because the potential contaminants are so highly concentrated. The commonwealth’s attorney found Mr. Miller’s suggestion for a bond to be legally defensible but warned that should the bond be met, a hauler could spread sludge. Rappahannock will produce such small amounts — just 47 pounds of dry solids per year — “why not put it in the landfill?” asked Supervisor Nelson Lane. If we find somebody to take our sludge, what are we going to do with our septage?” asked Mr. Miller, referring to the waste pumped from septic tanks. Delbert Price of the county’s Water and Sewer Authority reported that a lagoon in Culpeper which now takes septage from private homes in the county will likewise accept septage from the tanks that will be part of Sperryville’s sewer system. “Volume wise, it won’t be a big thing.” He said Sperryville’s sludge doesn’t pose a “big problem” in that less than an acre per year will be needed for its land application. “Restraints on out-of-county haulers will be a much bigger problem” he conceded, adding that for permit purposes, the supervisors must assure the state that the county will either accept Sperryville’s sludge or find somewhere else to dispose of it. “Even with a moratorium, there are no guarantees we can keep Blue Plains sludge out,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey, referring to the much maligned output of Washington, D.C.’s sewage treatment plant. Noting that a moratorium is temporary in nature, Mr. Miller pro posed prohibiting land application of sludge by ordinance and exporting Rappahannock’s sludge, “or, as a last resort, disposing of it in the landfill.” “But it’s just like trash — if we can’t export it, we have to handle it,” said Mr. Price. Carson Johnson reminded the board that the WSA has been trying for two years without success to find another locality to take Rappahannock’s sludge. “Fauquier County won’t take it? They’re taking Class A sludge from Blue Plains!” noted Mr. Miller. “You’ll be closing the door on the Sperryville plant if you say no to land application in Rappahannock, period,” cautioned Mr. Price. “We may not have a landfill one day.” (Robert Forman of the health department’s division of solid and hazardous waste management estimates that capacity at the county’s privately owned and operated landfill will be reached in approximately two months and has directed that a closure plan be submitted. According to Mr. Forman, approval of a new site will take from six months to a year.) Rt. 211 just west of Amissville.

Come Spend a Day in the Country (Noon Saturday - anything left V» price) Yogurt — dieter’s favorite By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extemion Afent Yogurt has long been one of a dieter’s favorite foods because it is not only low in fat, but it is also very healthy. Yogurt is milk that has been fermented with several types of bacteria. The bacteria changes part of the sugar in the milk (lactose) to lactic acid. It is this acid that gives yogurt its flavor. Plain yogurt has basically the same nutrients as milk. It is one of the best food sources for calcium, a nutrient necessary for growth and health of teeth and bones. Yogurt also contains high quality protein, but like milk, it is low in vitamin C and mineral iron. This milk product can be a valuable part of a lower-fat diet and lifestyle. To cut back on fat, choose yogurts made from low-fat milk. Only 22 percent of the calories from low-fat yogurt is from fat, while 48 percent of the calories of whole-milk yogurt are from fat. One can become confused when counting the calories found in yogurt. Low-fat yogurts usually have non-fat milk solids added to them to make them thicker. This adds more protein which increases the number of calories. Strange as it may seem, plain low-fat yogurts (144 calories per cup) contain a few more calories than plain whole milk yogurt (139 calories a cup). Fruit-flavored yogurts often are higher in calories than might be expected. The fruit itself doesn’t add many calories, but the various forms of sugar (sugar, honey, glucose, dextrose, fructose, com syrup) that are usually added with the fruit can increase the calories to anywhere from 220 to 280 a cup, depending on the brand. Vanilla and coffee flavors are lower than fruit flavors. An alternative is to add fruit without sugar at home. Try using yogurt in different ways to capture its great nutritional qualities. The Vegetable Garden Dip offers a nutritious and tasty way to enjoy those fresh raw vegetables. If you’ve been looking for an out-ofthe-ordinary dressing, the Creamy Curry Dressing will surely meet the test. Try it on your favorite tossed vegetable. Vegetable Garden Dip 1 tsp. finely grated green pepper 1T. finely grated carrot 2 tsp. finely grated onion 1/8 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 c. cottage cheese 1 c. plain yogurt Blend cottage cheese with vegetables and garlic powder until smooth. Fold in yogurt. Cover and refrigerate. Yield: I-IV2 cups. 11 calories per tablespoon. Creamy Curry Dressing lVfc tsp. curry powder 1T. minced parsley Dash sugar substitute (to taste) IV2 T. lemon juice Salt and pepper (optional) 3/4 c. yogurt 1/4 c. buttermilk Blend all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate one hour or more to allow flavors to blend. Yield: 1 cup. 8V2 calories per tablespoon. Greek Casserole 1 lb. ground beef 1 c. chopped onion IV2 c. coarsely chopped, peeled eggplant 1 c. coarsely chopped, peeled potato 1/2 c. tomato sauce 1 tsp. chili powder 3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese 2 eggs 1 c. plain yogurt Snipped parsley In skillet, saute meat and onion until onion is tender. Drain off excess fat. Stir in eggplant, potato, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Simmer covered 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cheese. Spoon into IV2 quart casserole. Beat together eggs and' yogurt. Spoon over meat and vegetable mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes or until top is set. Sprinkle with parsley.

Blessed is the child whose “mother's secret hope" is embodied in "sighs too deep for words,” constantly hoping with unspoken encouragement. inuraaay 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Friday Galations 6:1-10 Saturday 1 John 2:13-24 Scripture* Selected by | he American Bible Society / \ « momer s secrer nope nr,as expression in son eyes tnat reflect love and In firm eyes that discipline, urging adherence to rightness without ever speaking a word. She is a person who sees no inconsistency in being herself and at the same time sharing herself with her child, calling forth the best in both. She recognizes that her child is a first-time visitor to this planet, and everything is new. Mother becomes tour director, touching the early dogwoods of the forest, blessing her child by introducing everything that grows. And "mother's secret hope" outlives all failures because she never sees her child's successes in terms of what he or she does, but what he or she is And when failures happen, it is failure in DOING not BEING. Whether you are 5 or 50, she never stops being mother. At 5 you are unaware of her secret hope; at 50 she no longer has a secret. You see it in her wrinkled face, roadmapped by your own pilgrimage up several “Fools Hills" and other related mountains.

Safe houses in nearby counties shelter local women By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer In late April, the Warren County Council on Domestic Violence announced its plans to provide a “safe house” for women and children fleeing family violence. “We’re fortunate in our timing,” said Council president Barbara Greco. “We didn’t plan it this way, but our efforts come just as the public is becoming more aware of this serious family problem.” The Warren county group has, since 1981, provided an all-night telephone answering service for victims of violence, referred them to a Winchester shelter or to a local motel, and provided them with counseling and support. Both the Sheriffs department and the Social Services Department acknowledge that domestic violence is a significant problem in Rappahannock County. “Sometimes we’ll find out that a woman is being abused through a child abuse case,” said social worker Laurie Turner. “And often it’s a woman who has always accepted violence as a way of life — her mother was beaten, she was beaten as a child, and her husband beats her. Sometimes we’re the first people to point out that this just isn’t right.” Mrs. Turner said that many abused women are without family, money, transportation or close friends. “They’re isolated, they have nowhere to go, they have nothing to fall back on and they’re afraid for their children,” she said. “These are the cases where shelters are invaluable,” she added. “The shelters provide transportation if she doesn’t have it, a safe place to stay, and counseling and advice.” Turner said that Rappahannock can presently use the Culpeper shelter and somehow the shelter workers always find room. A shelter in Warren County will also accept Rappahannock women and children as space permits. “I’ve been surprised to find out how many women either do not have families here or who feel they cannot go to them for help,” she said. Embarrassment is one reason that women don’t always turn to their families; fear is another, according to Christine Andreae, Council secretary. “Often the women are advised not to go somewhere that their husbands might find them,” she said. She added that the location of the shelters is kept secret and that no one may tell a visitor or caller who is staying there. And abused women need not have made the decision to leave their homes to call the hotline numbers. “Anyone who is abused or knows of someone may call,” said Mrs. Andreae. “It’s better for a woman to call before she’s in immediate physical danger, of course. Volunteers may tell her to gather some papers — car registration, brith certificates for the children, insurance papers, school books and so on so that she’ll have them before she must leave in a hurry.” “And our main purpose is certainly not to break up the family unit,” said Mrs. Greco. “We want to remove women and children from danger, and then show all family members, husbands included, alternative ways of living, free of violence and physical abuse.” “Even once the woman is in the shelter, there will be no pressure on her to leave her husband,” added Mrs. Andreae. “Many women choose to return to the home after their time at the shelter is up. We don’t judge (except to remove the woman from immediate physical danger), we just try to provide choices — se Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Next Deadline May 27 Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad!

V a. paration, counseling, recognizing "i the signs of an impending violent outbreak.” Mrs. Greco noted that abused women often feel guilty. “First, they often feel that they “deserved” the beating. Then, they may feel that if they had any self-esteem at all, they would have left long ago. We don’t add to that burden of guilt at all. We’re willing to provide support without judgement. ” Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward sees the shelters as good choices for rural women with few other options. “A great many of our calls deal with domestic violence,” he said. “Of course, it’s a very sad and dangerous part of our job. (According to state statistics, over a quarter of police injuries come from domestic calls.) And even when the children are not abused physically, just being around when their mother is abused is terrible for them.” Sheriff Woodward said that he and his deputies try to provide some on-the-spot counseling to the couple, advising the woman what options she has. “If she’s in danger, we get her out of there,” he said. “Normally, we don’t provide transportation to swear out a warrant, but this is a case where we will. Often, these women don’t have transportation.” Sheriff Woodward said that domestic violence calls cut across all age, education and income classes. “In Rappahannock, alcohol is usually involved,” he said. He added that women who are concerned about their husbands periods of drinking and violence can also call the mental health clinic. “We run into problems when the woman doesn’t want to leave her husband, but wants us to put him in jail for the night,” he said. “Of course we can charge him, but when there are repeated calls, with the wife unwilling to press charges, we try to encourage her to do something more constructive about the problem, such as dealing with the alcoholism, or trying a separation.” “But a lot of women don’t think their husbands have an alcohol problem if they just get drunk and voilent once in a while,” Sheriff Woodward added. “So they’re not willing to hospitalize him, they’re not willing to kick him out, they’re not willing to leave him, they just want him to dry out in jail, This doesn’t really help anything in the long run.” Woodward thinks that shelters, on the other hand, provide a realistic service to women. “Maybe more women would call a shelter for help if they knew that its location was an absolute secret,” he said. “We don’t even know where they are. We refer women through Social Services and when an angry husband comes to us we can tell him we have no idea where his wife is. ” Meanwhile, Sheriff Woodward says that women should be given information by the law enforcement agencies: ‘We try to do this, and in a small community like this, we can. They magistrate is also likely to provide a great deal of information to a woman who comes in to file charges. We try to inform her that she doesn’t have to leave her home if she’s not frightened. We can put her husband under order not to return home if he’s assaulted her.” Sheriff Woodward said that he would not put the Rappahannock Sheriff’s department in the category of law enforcement agencies criticized as being unsympathetic to the plight of abused women. “Naturally, we feel sorry for them,” he said. ‘We get frustrated by repeat calls where no progress ever seems to be made, but we continue to go. And I’m absolutely convinced that there are women in Rappahannock who would have been seriously hurt if not for our response to their calls. I’m also convinced that there are women who live with this day after day, too frightened to even call us. They need to find out what they can do.” For Counseling and Services.

Stonewall drops Panthers 5-4 Rappahannock’s varsity baseball team outhit a tough .Stonewall team on Tuesday night but couldn’t outscore them in a 5-4 decision. The Panthers banged out nine hits to Stonewall’s seven, one of them a home run to right-center field by senior centerfielder Rob Brown, who was 2 for 3 at the plate. The Panthers scored one in the bottom of the first, after Brown singled, stole second and third and came home on an overthrow to third. Stonewall countered with two in the top of the third after base hits put two on, an error added a third, and a sacrifice fly. Stonewall added a lone run in the fifth, then two more in the top of the sixth. Brown’s lead off home run came in the sixth, but a Panther rally was crushed when a line drive to second turned into a Stonewall double play. In the bottom of the seventh, junior firstbaseman, Wayne Foster got to first on an error, freshman Wes Jenkins and senior Craig William singled, sophmore Greg Smith doubled, and Rob Brown drew a walk, putting the score at 5-4. (Rapp’s first out came during that rally when pinch runner Greg Daczewitz fell rounding third base and was put out). With bases loaded and one out, senior Tommy Jenkins, who’d doubled earlier, struck out and senior H. B. Wood’s grounder to short was flipped to second for the final out. Tommy Jenkins went the dis Addition In reporting the results of the Fodderstack 10K Road Race in the April 24 issue, Frances Foster was omitted from the list of Rappahannock residents who participated in the race.

School am Deborah Flinchum for The Rappahannock News ENSEMBLE FESTIVAL participants Keith Jenkins (drums) and Justin Ferrence were two of the 13 local youngsters who traveled to Loudoun County for the Festival. Band students attend festival By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Ten schools participated in the District Nine Solo and Ensemble Festival held April 19 in Leesburg,Loudoun County. Rappahannock band members in grades 6 through 12 were made aware of the festival by band director Kathy Hewitt. Interested band students were allowed to participate. According to Miss Hewitt, the festival was conducted in an informal manner. The participants went in a room with one judge and their accompanist. They performed their selection and the judge rated them on a scale of one to five, one being superior. Students were not in direct competition with each other. Ratings were only for the student’s benefit. Every Rappahannock student who attended received a rating of one or two. Miss Hewitt said that in her years of experience with the fes tival a three rating was common and a one was hard to attain. She said, “Everybody worked so hard. I think that being in contests gets them up in front of an audience and gets them recognition and a lot of self-satisfaction." “Participation makes the ones who are doing so well work harder. The ones who I thought wouldn’t want to go have spent a lot of time on it and have improved tremendously just by putting the extra time into it,” concluded Miss Hewitt. First time participant Justin Ferrence has played the alto saxophone for two years. He said, “I learned a lot about the festival by being in it this year. It will help me next year when I do it again. I was so glad I didn’t squeak and I played all the right notes!” Sixth grader Keith Jenkins, second year band student, played the drums at the festival. “The judge taught me about how to play the drums better,” he said. Other elementary school band students who participated were Susan Estes, clarinet, Kenny Giles, flute, Heidi Maeyer, clarinet, Jan Herman, clarinet, and Michele Early, flute. High school student DiDi Salmon has participated in the festival for three years. She has played the flute for five years and enjoys the competitions. “The judges fill out forms that tell you what you’re doing wrong and that helps,” DiDi commented. Other high school festival participants included Leslie Nichols, clarinet, Nathan Tanner, saxophone, Sean Wayland, trumpet, and David Fisher, trumpet. Sean Wayland and David Fisher performed a duet as well as their individual performances. Tara Fisher and Leslie Nichols acted as accompanists for some of the participants. The high school and elementary bands can be heard by the public when they join for the Spring Band Concert scheduled for May 29.

Rappahannock County Elementary School fourth graders discovered this and much more during their field trip to the New Market Battlefield on April 28. Ms. Valerie Hibbs, fourth grade chairman, said they chose this location because “it was close enough to go in one day’s time. It showed them about the New Market battle, the Civil War, and the VMI cadets in Virginia.” The students toured the museum first. They were then divided into two groups. One group went to the Virginia Room, where they saw a description of everything that happened from the beginning of the Civil War to the end. The other group went to the VMI Room where they heard about the VMI cadets. The students examined artifacts that had been used in the New Market battle. A replica of the VMI flag that was used in the battle, uniforms and letters from the cadets were displayed. The students then saw two films, one about Stonewall Jackson and another on the New Market battle. The gift shop was popular with the students as was the “hands-on experience” room. There they handled replicas and original war time items, including a 12-pound cannon ball, axes and kitchen utensils. Their trip concluded with a walk on the battlefield for a closer look at the cannons and a walk around the farm house where the battle was waged. Student Andrew Kerr was fas cinated by the small size of the doors on the house. He explained that they ^ were that small because “men were?; shorter back then.” Fourth graders Adam Mundy and Stefan Hargett said their classes - had discussed the Civil War before going on their trip and had a followup activity when they returned. Stefan continued, “I enjoyed going into the Virginia Room of the museum. It had a lot of pictures and • model statues of the war. They had . listening devices where you could press a button and hear about the battle that the picture was about. ” “I’m glad I went because it was a.' ■ good history lesson on the Civil War' . and it was fun, ” concluded Stefan. Ms. Hibbs commented, “I think-' they really benefited from this tripbecause they got to see how different life was during Civil War times. - from what it is now.” Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner JO-JO THE STRIPPER (Amy Ay lor) holds back tough guy Dutch (Joey Eldred) from breaking bad on Monte (Chris Baines).

No, it’s not a soap opera; it’s Eddie Code’s Agatha Christie Made Me Do It performed at the high school last Thursday and Friday. 6Agatha Christie’ staged at RCHS By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock County High School students presented the play Agatha Christie Made Me Do It on May 1 and 2. The production was under the direction of Kathleen Kenny and Tina Peterman-Brazile. The main character was Police Officer Hootspah, played by Lee Baines. Tired of being a cop, he decides the quickest way to riches and a life of ease is to write a murder mystery. Never having written anything before, he seeks help from a hypothetical book which analyzes Agatha Christie’s methods as a mystery writer. In spite of his bumbling manner, his obvious ineptitude for the task and the fact that his cast frequently gets out of hand, Hootspah manages to put together a play with a barrel of laughs, enough suspense to trigger the interest of the audience and ' a cast of high calibre characters.

Hootspah’s murder mystery included a cast of diverse characters. Chris Barnes played the rich leading man Monte. He had been drugged and led to believe that he had commited a murder and had , married two “ladies.” His two supposed wives were a stripper played by Amy Aylor and Jenny, a chocolate dipper from the Bronx, played by Gina Manwaring. Jenny was always protected by her tough brother Dutch, played by Joey Eldred. Doretha Butler as the lawyer stayed cool and calm throughout, as did Aladair Earley as the butler and Annie, the maid, played by Annette Fletcher. Jennifer Shorb as the sexy snob changed her hairstyle as often as Chandra Eldred, who played Monte’s fiance, changed her feelings about him. Of course every murder mystery needs a dead body. Donna Foster played the “stiff.” But who killed him? The student production staff consisted of Wendy Stringfellow, Tommy Gaines, Thomas Massie, Louie Moore, David Fisher, Natalie Butler, Heather Kilpatrick and Dexter Freeman. By the way — the maid was an undercover police woman who unveiled the murderer — his fiance!

I Kindergardeners stage play By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “We’re packing our trunk to go to first grade and we’re taking.. Twenty-four kindergarteners put in the trunk something they thought they would use in first grade next year. Each item was representative of a letter of the alphabet. The other kindergarteners helped out by singing songs, reciting poems, or saying rhythms about that item. This was the scene at Rappahannock County Elementary School May 2 when Ms. Burrows’, Ms. Decker’s and Ms. Waterfield’s kindergarten classes presented their end of the year play. Ms. Burrows, kindergarten chairman, borrowed the idea from a teacher in another county. However, the Rappahannock teachers added to and changed the “trunk items.” Ms. Waterfield explained the play’s preparation. “We divided the letters among the three classes. Each teacher had to find a poem or a song for the letters their class had.” The teachers made the letters, crayon costumes, flower costumes and other props. The students were eager to tell about their parts. Jeff Jenkins said, “I’m a letter person-S. I’m going to pack my school bag for first grade.” “I’m a letter person, too,” added Stacy Payne. “I’m G. I like to say my part and sing the songs. ” Donnie Beahm proudly stated, “I say ‘I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.’ I wear an ice cream costume.” Julie Jenkins put a red rose in the trunk while she said, “ A red rose for my teacher because I think she’s going to be special.” It’s not hard to guess what letter person Julie was. The students enjoyed performing the play as much as the elementary students, teachers, parents and friends enjoyed watching it. The play was more than just enjoyable. Ms. Waterfield said, “We thought it would be really beneficial for the children. Standing up in front of an audience gives them a lot of self-confidence.” Local kids get honors at Wakefield By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield School is pleased to announce that the following Rappahannock County students received first honors during the fourth grading period: Chris Angell, Winifred Duffy, Katherine Hinkell, Nikolai Konick, Britney Lee, Welby Lynn, Nancy Massie, Rachel Monahan, Susanna Perilli, Hank Sohn, Peter Walsworth, Tara Welty, Luke Zin§j del and Katie Zindel.

The Ranee Lee Spellman Memorial Scholarship is in honor of a man whose life was dedicated to the preservation of farming and the humane protection of animals and birds, the Foundation’s announcement said. To be considered for the scholarship a student must demonstrate a commitment to learning the skills necessary to farm, have a recommendation documenting potential for a career in farming or a related field and need some financial assistance to pursue his goals. Any fulltime student presently attending Lord Fairfax or planning to attend in the fall in the agriculture, horticulture, livestock production technology or natural resources program who meets the above criteria is encouraged to apply for this $1,500 scholarship before May 21. ratncia Saltonstall, owner of Points of View Farm at Flint Hill and chairperson of the Spellman Memorial Scholarship committee, spoke of the significance of the scholarship: “Ranee grew up in Culpeper County and is buried in Rappahannock County, on that mountain top he lovingly landscaped and fanned. We who have created the memorial scholarship in his name hope that applicants from both counties will apply for the first annual $1,500 award. “Next year, we hope there will be two awards, with more to follow as funds are raised. Eventually, there will be enough awards given annually to honor the variety of special skills essential to successful farming, skills Ranee had in such abundance. “Nothing would give us greater satisfaction than to see those skills live on through deserving Rappahannock and Culpeper youth — and adults — who care seriously for the land, birds and animals as Ranee Spellman did.” Rappahannock News Photo/Lou Halter ENJOYING THEIR FIRST DAY at Surgum Corda’s building are Colin Treanor (left) and Kirk Davis. Local child care center moves The Child Care and Learning Center moved last weekend to its new home on Route 211 just outside Washington. The facility, which has been under construction since last September, is finished except for landscaping and the construction of a permanent playground, according to director Mary Tauss. “The Learning Center had outgrown the facilities in its former location,” a converted farmhouse in Tiger Valley, said Ms. Tauss. The farmhouse had been home for Sursum Corda since 1978, “although the need for a new facility has been obvious for three or four years,” she continued. In addition to the advantage of a building designed especially for child care, the new site will also allow the Learning Center to accommodate more children. The house in Tiger Valley was licensed by the state to handle 30 children, while the new building will accommodate 45 youngsters. The Learning Center has facilities for children ranging in age from six weeks to kindergarten. It also offers an after-school program for children of elementary school age and up. In addition to Ms. Tauss there are four full-time and several parttime teachers, two administrative employees, and a full-time cook. There are four spacious, open classrooms painted in bright colors with lots of windows as well as a large multi-purpose room in the middle of the building. There are also administrative offices and a fully equipped kitchen. Ms. Tauss said that the multi-purpose room will be available for rent to the community in the eve nings and on weekends. The fundraising effort which raised the $260,000 necessary to purchase the five-acre plot and erect the building “is an ongoing thing,” Ms. T^uss said. Already in the works is a fundraising project to purchase additional playground equipment, “and there are always things which wear out and need to be replaced.” Asked about the children’s reaction to the move, Ms. Tauss said, “They are excited. They will need patience with the adjustment, but they’re familiar with the furnishings, the building is the only change.” She added that the staff is also excited and happy to finally move into the new center. Tuesday was the first day of classes in the new building. —Lou Hatter Don91 Replace Your Old Central Air Conditioner Until You Read This Ad.

East Meets West: 41 years later By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Forty-one years ago today, May 8, 1945, Nazi Germany surrendered, marking the end of World War II in Europe. Frank Huff, of Flint Hill, was part of one of the most important events leading up to the surrender—the linking up of the American and Russian armies at the Elbe River. Mr. Huff was one of four Americans on a reconnaissance patrol who made the first contact with a Russian unit on April 25. “We knewT the Russians were close. . .we’d even kidded about it, wouldn’t it be something if we made the first contact.” The patrol had been out for two days, w’ithout sleep, and had been pinned down by sniper fire in the town of Torgau, Germany, not far from the Elbe. Since they were operating in front of the American lines in an area still not firmly in control of the Allied forces, that morning the men had taken the precaution of getting a white bedsheet, “just in case we got into a bad spot,” Mr. Huff recalled, gesturing with his hands above his head. “In Torgau we found a store with some watercolor paints, and w e blotted the sheet with the red and blue paints until we made an American flag.” The men had been inquiring all morning as they advanced along the roads about the position of the Russians, and the replies of the frightened refugees streaming in the opposite direction were always the same: “They’re farther on up the road.” After fashioning the makeshift flag, the men headed out of town toward the river, stopping at a chateau which had a high tower overlooking the river. Lieutenant William Robertson, commander of the patrol, and Corporal James McDonnell fastened the flag to a long pole, climbed to the top of the tower and hung the Hag out a window facing the fixer. The response was unexpected and frightening—several artillery rounds from the treeline across the river ripped holes in the tower wall near the window. "The Russians thought we were Germans trying to trick them. 1 high-tailed it back to a nearby ROW camp and came back with a huge bearded Russian soldier. The first time he yelled out the window the artillery opened up again. . .Finally he made the soldiers on the far bank understand what was happening, and the Russians swarmed out of the treeline like angry bees leaving their hive." The bridge across the river had been demolished by the retreating German army, leaving only twisted steel girders suspended above the rushing torrent. Id. Robertson and Private Huff clambered across the twisted steel to the middle of the bridge where two Russian soldiers stood waiting, seemingly unconcerned about the swiftly-moving water beneath their feet. “I thought they'd, knock us off the bridge, hugging and slapping us on the back. We were hanging on to those girders, I'll tell you,” Mr. Huff recalled. After retracing their steps across the dangling span and more backslapping and congratulations were U.S\ Army photo GEN. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, supreme Allied commander in Europe, receives the handmade flag which Pvt. Huffs patrol used to identify itself to Russians. (From left) Lt. William D. Robertson, Pvt. Paul Staub, Pvt. Frank B. Huff, Gen. Eisenhower and Cpl. James J. McDonnell. exchanged with their Russian allies the men, accompanied by one of the Russian soldiers, started back for their command post. “Our CO (commanding officer) was plenty upset that we brought that Russian back to the headquarters.” The men explained the historic event to General Hodges, and a telephone call was placed to General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s headquarters at Reimes, France. Gen. Eisenhower responded, “That’s the best news I’ve heard since the war started.” Ten days later, on May 5, 1945, the four men were summoned to the Little Red Schoolhouse (Gen. Eisenhower’s headquarters in Reimes) to be congratulated personally by the general. They presented him with the makeshift flag which they had used to identify themselves, Gen. Eisenhower promoted each man one grade in rank in “one of the fastest promotions on record,” according to Stars and Stripes newspaper, saying that “my only regret is that I wasn’t there with you.” Last year, in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the war’s end, a British television crew organized a reunion of the famous patrol. Held in the Phoenix Hotel in Washington, D. C., it was the first time all four men had been together since the end of the war. Mr. fluff said that it was a joyous and emotional reunion. “We told a lot of stories about the time we had spent together,” he recalled. “The TV people wanted us to go to Europe to meet the Russians again,” he continued, “but my health won’t let me make a trip like that. I sure would have liked to do it, though.” Budget Continued from page 1 sheriff, commonwealth’s attorney and county clerk) are expected to get salary increases of 6.58 percent. Those showing decreases or holding steady include the commissioner of revenue’s office, registrar’s office, electoral board, the board of supervisors and its clerk, the circuit and general district courts, animal control, general maintenance of building and grounds, employment program administration and the board of zoning appeals. Between the current budget and the proposed budget, the county has $180,000 available for a new landfill site. The 1985-86 budget includes a $90,000 line item for “Maintenance of county landfill: Improvements to sites;” a similar line item is included in the budget for the coming year presented to the supervisors on Monday. At their May board meeting, the supervisors adjourned without setting a date for a budget work session. Access Continued from page 5 that the courthouse may qualify for a waiver as an historic building. “If this building is not handicapped accessible by October of this year, we’re liable to lose federal revenue sharing funds,” reported Clerk Diane Bruce. In recalling cost estimates they’d secured previously, the supervisors noted that a chair lift to the upstairs courtroom would run approximately $25,000 and the necessary renovation for and installation of a long ramp through a downstairs window approximately $60,000.

Virginia Inn hosts contest winner By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer If you were offered an all-expenses paid dinner for two and overnight accommodations at any restaurant and hotel in the continental United States, where would you choose to go? New York, or Chicago, or perhaps even Washington, D. C.? For Wendy Schlageter, of San Leandro, Calif., that mind-boggling hypothetical question became a reality recently. Mrs. Schlageter won the grand prize in a recipe contest sponsored by the Oakland (Calif.) Tribune. For Mrs. Schlageter and her husband Steve, the decision was not an easy one. “We’ve never been to the East Coast, and we decided to visit Washington, D. C.” But for their dinner, the Schlageters bypassed all the restaurants in “big” Washington and chose The Inn at Little Washington. “We asked a lot of people for suggestions and everyone had different ideas,” Mrs. Schlageter said. Their solution was to turn to the Food Editor of The Tribune for advice. She showed the Schlageters an article about The Inn which had recently appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle. “It sounded like a place we would love. We spent three months in England, and The Inn is very English, with just a touch of French.” The Inn lived up to their expectations. “It’s really a romantic place. Dinner was lovely. . .we didn’t want it to end.” They have been married for 15 years, and this trip was a kind of second honeymoon, although Mr. Schlageter added that on their next trip east they will bring their two children, Taryn, 10, and Justin, 8. Mrs. Schlageter’s prize-winning recipe is for a spinach salad which “I make all the time. . .everyone loves it.” She said that she entered the Tribune contest “on a whim.” It was the first recipe contest she entered, and she had forgotten all about it when she got a call from the newspaper. “The person told me I’d better sit down, and I thought it was bad news,” Mrs. Schlageter said, smiling as she recalled the moment. “I think the salad is different, and thought it might have a chance. . .but I was flabbergasted when they told me I’d won the grand prize.” The Schlageters found the East Coast to be very different from the scenery they are accustomed to in the west. “From the plane, flying into Dulles, it looks like no one lives here. There is so much forest, and the houses are much further apart. In California it’s pretty much one big city from San Francisco to Sacramento. Here once you get outside the city of Washington, D. C., it immediately becomes rural." Mrs. Schlageter said they found Rappahannock to be “a charming area.” After spending the afternoon on the Skyline Drive Mr. Schlageter said “it reminds me of the foothills of the Sierras.” After their dinner and overnight stay at The Inn the Schlageters planned to drive to Mount Vernon and possibly on to Annapolis. The rest of their weekend itinerary consisted of sight-seeing in Washington, D.

SEE THE PROFESSIONALS AT Computers ComputerLand 1 Winchester 611 Apple Blossom Drive • (703)665-3031 Between Martin's & Apple Blossom Mall County’s road budget slashed 35 percent An unexpected loss of $113,000 in secondary road construction funds in 1986-87 will force cancellation of one bridge widening project and reduce the scope of other work included in the county’s six-year road plan, according to resident engineer Donald Askew. “We were anticipating the same as last year — $325,000,” JVlr. Askew told the supervisors at Monday’s board meeting. Instead, Rappahannock will receive just $212,000 for secondary road construction in the coming fiscal year. “I don’t know why they cut us. It looks like we have more traffic on the roads, more money in the coffers,” said Mr. Askew, adding that all the residencies in the Culpeper District had budgets cut by that same amount. The change in funding formula adopted by the General Assembly two years ago has sent a greater proportion of the state’s highway dollars to urban areas, the resident engineer noted. “But they were cut, too.” He predicted that the reduction in construction money will allow an increase in maintenance funds, needed to cover higher costs of equipment and higher salaries. (Maintenance funds are allocated separately by the state from construction funds; maintenance expenditures do not require approval by the Board of Supervisors.) . “That $100,000 cut just pushes our six-year plan back,” noted Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “The bridge on Route 647 is the only project cancelled or postponed,” Mr. Askew explained. “And that’s not a matter of bridge strength but of width. ” He added that amounts allocated to other prwj ect s' ‘hatfi§ -aliiS1 mhK reduced. “But We’re keeping them on line and hoping that something will change next year.” In answer to a question from Supervisor Charles Estes, Mr. Askew guessed that the state’s primary construction budget would be similarly lowered. “I don’t see how they can cut 35 percent from secondary roads and nothing from the primaries.” Action on the state’s six-year plan for primary roads — and the widening of 4.5 miles of Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville — is expected by mid-June, according to the resident engineer. — Daphne Hutchinson The 450,000 tons of shattered rock that lay at the base of Mount Rushmore after four U.S. presidents’ faces were carved was tnr> much to be hauled away, and there it remains, says National Geographic. School Board seat open The term of Bill Oliver, School Board representative from Stonewall-Hawthorne District, will expire in July. Because state law now requires that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of Supervisors making an appointment to the School Board, a hearing has been set for June 2. Nelson Lane, supervisor from Stonewall-Hawthorne, asks constituents who have recommendations on the vacancy to call him at 987-8090.

But to know you are in God’s care, Makes our heart glad. You taught all of us children that what was right, Now we must all live good and be ready in God's sight. Nothing could be. more beautiful than memories we hold of you. Because Mom you were someone special and God must have thought so too. Since Dad left us in December to meet you in the sky, May we say, "Happy Mother’s Day” and "Happy Father's Day” to both of you and a farewell goodbye. Sadly missed by The Tharp Family I would like to thank my friends for their many acts of kindness shown me during my illness. May God bless each of you.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter JAMES J. KILPATRICK ‘The Writer’s Art’ a master’s discourse • • By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer ] “/ count it a high honor to belong < to a profession in which the good ■ ■ men write every paragraph, every sentence, every Line, as lovingly as any Addison or Steele, and do so in ; full regard that by tomorrow it. will have been burned, or used, if at all, to line a shelf. ” —Alexander Woollcott So ended James J. Kilpatrick’s talk on The Art of Writing, given last Wednesday night at the Madison County High School. More than 300 people attended the lecture, a benefit for the Madison County Public Library. Mr. Kilpatrick, nationally syndicated political columnist and commentator, enthralled his audience with a combination of humorous personal reminiscences and examples of some of his favorite uses and misuses of the English language. He told of his lifelong fascination with libraries, beginning with his boyhood in Oaklahoma City, where every Saturday he would “ride the streetcar to the Carnegie Public Library. . .a great Romanesque building. . .with a children’s reading room on the second floor, where I would return the books I had checked out the previous Saturday and revel in getting a half-dozen more. Libraries are wonderful places for little boys and girls—and grown-up boys and girls. You never know what you might do for a boy or girl, finding the right book at the right time. . .careers are shaped by imagination.” In addition to his well-known political column A Conservative View, Mr. Kilpatrick also writes a syndicated commentary which appears in 530 newspapers titled The Uses and Misuses of Language which draws contributions of mangled English from readers across the country. “Those who write are forest rangers who know the path through the woods” of language, “. . .and we should lead the tenderfeet through the trail of our ideas safely and comfortably, not letting them become lost in the brambles” of confusing sentences or unclear ideas. “Writing is a conduit of communication. . .from the mind of the writer to the eye and ear of the reader. ” Mr. Kilpatrick exhorted his audience to “read insatiably. . .read, read, read. Read the classics. . .read matchbook covers, cans. . .but read.” Of course he also urged them to “write incessantly: poetry, love letters. . .menus. The more you write the more you get the feel and texture of language—the rhythm and cadence, the nuances of meaning. “Use your senses intently. . .store the images for a time they are needed.” He gave as an example of a master of imagery his one-time antagonist on Po>nt/Counterpoint, Shana Alexander, quoting from her book on Patty Ilearst, Anyone's Daughter. Miss Hearst, waving to her parents during her controversial and highly-publicized trial: “Below the table, emerging from a tailored sleeve, five pink and perfectly enameled fingers flutter like the frilly fins of a Siamese fighting fish.” In another passage she “is a Madonna dolorosa, a classic image of female suffering. She sits motionlessly, and tears fall from her eyes as from a Sicilian painting. Fine-featured, smooth-skinned, narrow, and pale, she is almost as white as the Pieta of Michelangelo.” Mr. Kilpatrick observed that those images were not chosen by accident. “Shana Alexander had watched Siamese fighting fish, watched their fins flutter” and committed those images to memory. “Those images come back in the use of simile and metaphor.” Along with those highlights of English usage, Mr. Kilpatrick also •egaled his audience with some less iplendid examples of its misuse. He ;poke of a story from the Culpeper Star-Exponent, about a picnic where ‘marshmallows were roasted while sitting on wooden benches.” Mr. Kiljatrick also cautioned against such ibuses as mixed metaphors, strainng for synonyms like the writer who ,ired of using the word oil in a story ind referred to it as “the lucrative iquid”'. He also blasted his pet oeeve, the tendency to use nouns as verbs and adjectives, which has become a common practice in business md technical writing. After citing numerous other examples of abuses and misuses of English, Mr. Kilpatrick reflected again in the art of writing. “Those who read and write are the trustees of the English language. . .those who appreciate the value of words, the beauty of language. The nuances of English are as subtle, as colorful at any other. It’s a beautiful language and we are its trustees.” Mr. Kilpatrick has used the quote from Alexander Woollcott tc end each of his talks to journalism students as well as his fellows in the press for more than 30 years, and he urged anyone considering a career ir journalism to take that thought tc heart, and engrave it in their mind. * -5 OLY$ &IBLE > NUGGETS OF TRUTH By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY Pastor FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, WASHINGTON, VA. Greetings, In Jesus Name Z Z z z t I pray blessings on ever brother & sister and especially o all Mothers. Jesus was thinking c his mother in the last hours of hi life as a man. (Jn. 19:25-27). No tice He would not trust her in thi care of his natural brothers, be cause at that time they were nc his followers, but his cousin, John was his disciple (follower). Hi knew John would do right by her The Bible teaches us to honor an< respect our mothers and fathers but this week, show mom mor< love than usual. Call her or if yoi can, go see her. That in itself wil bless her. Notice the scriptures Eph 6:1-3; Mark 10:19; Lev. 19:3 These are some more scriptures that you as a son or daughte should heed. Prov. 101 "A foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.” Prov. 15:20 "a foolish man despiseth his mother.” Prov 19:26 He that wasteth his fathei and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, anc bririgeth reproach " Prov. 20:2C Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.” Prov. 23:22-25 "Despise not thy mother when she is old. Buy the truth and sell it not: also wisdom,and instruction and understanding. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice." Mom, we pray Gods blessing on you today and if by any means you have not had a personal relationship with Jesus, call and let me pray with you. I Rev. Bob Dunphy phone 987-8505 (mailing address: Rt. 1, Box 266 Sperryville. Va. 22740) Supervisors Continued from page 1 schools. “We have a pupil/teacher ratio of 13.8:1. If we want to give the teachers a salary increase, cut the staff by 20 percent,” he proposed, noting that he wasn’t suggesting anyone be fired but rather that vacancies be left unfilled. “If we drop 10 percent of our teachers, we would still have a ratio of 18:1 and we could increase salaries by 20 percent. . . “Somebody in education has got to figure out how we can pay our teachers properly and not break the taxpayers of this county. Until we end this cycle, it’s going to be a constant battle every year,” Mr. Miller said, calling the accusation that the supervisors are anti-education “absolutely untrue.” He emphasized, however, that the number one issue in his district is high taxes — not education. Supervisor Nelson echoed Mr. Miller’s position on teachers’ pay, describing salaries as “the number one crisis in our schools.” “I don’t think our teachers are overpaid one bit. I think we must have competitive salaries,” he said, but called for staff reductions, noting that enrollment is “now 30 percent down from the 1,200 we did have.” Mr. Lane recalled that as a School Board member and as a supervisor, he’d asked the administration for “help in meeting the commitment (to higher salaries)” but without getting “one shred of advice on how we can economize.” He maintained that the administration and School Board must work with the supervisors to “make the machine fit the chassis, to make our school system fit the county.” “If the drop in enrollment fell in one neat little package — in the fourth grade or in the seventh grade or in one level of high school English — it would be easier,” said School Board Chairman Beverly Massie. “But it doesn’t, and we have state mandates, the standards of quality that we must meet. “We understand that there’s been a drop in school population right now but unfortunately, we do not have the leeway from the state (to correspondingly reduce the teaching staff),” Mrs. Massie said. Superintendent Robert Estabrook agreed that a student/teacher ratio of 14:1 or even 18:1 is “almost optimal” but maintained that the figures cited by Mr. Miller — reached by dividing total number of teachers into total number of students — present a distorted picture of class size at both schools. He pointed out that special education classes are, in some cases, limited to a maximum of six students while advanced classes at the high school, such as physics, chemistry and calculus, have enrollments almost that small. He acknowledged that there’s “a limit to what Rappahannock County taxpayers can absorb” but maintained that declining federal contri butions for education have left the schools “in an awful bind.” He encouraged the board to explore alternative revenue sources, describing the local property tax as not only inequitable but lacking “sufficient growth potential” to provide sufficient funds for education. Mr. Miller said that the county must learn to operate within local restraints, adding, “We have no control over state and federal mandates.” Repeating that the capital improvements program at the high school will up the tax rate by 7 percent, he maintained this will “further strain teachers’ salaries ... 1 don’t think structures teach much and neither do a large number of teachers.” To the superintendent’s assertion that teaching staff can’t be reduced, Mr. Miller said: “I think I would make it work if I was in your position.” Reviewing the proposed budget by categories, the supervisors cut just $11,000, indicating that they intended raises for administrators to be held to $1,000 apiece and that they wanted the $2,000 allocated for the School Board’s contribution to the seventh grade’s Williamsburg trip to be dropped. Early in the meeting, Superintendent Estabrook explained that the 1986-87 school budget doesn’t include funds for the high school’s expansion because the construction project will be carried as a county project until completed and certified by an architect. Rappahannock is now 24th on the waiting list for a literary loan, with award of the $1.5 million expected this November or December, he told the supervisors. That money will “flow through" the county treasurer’s office, not the School Board office, he said. “It’s a county project from this point to the end of construction.” When construction is finished and repayment of the loan begins in the next fiscal year, that amortization will become a line item in the 1987-88 School Board budget, he explained. At the close of the by-category review of the 1986-87 school budget, accountant Wally Cox recommended that the literary loan money be shown on the revenue side of that budget with an equal amount included as an expenditure for capital outlay to avoid having to repeat the public hearing process on the high school expansion. “I want to go through the public process again,” countered Mr. Miller, meeting agreement from his fellow board members. Mr. Estabrook pointed out that the School Board would have to come back to the supervisors when the literary loan is awarded “to get your permission to incur this debt.” But despite his assurance, the board balked at following Mr. Cox’s recommendation to include the capital outlay project in the coming year’s school budget. t- Daphne Hutchinson Election Continued from page 1 will grow whether we plan for it or not,” she stated recently. “We need to use common sense in our planning. We need to protect our town.” William E. Wickens was elected to his second term on the council. He has expressed satisfaction with the accomplishments of the present council, “but, of course, 1 feel that our work isn’t finished yet.” He, too, is concerned about new sources of revenue, but cautions against adversely affecting residents on fixed incomes. Mr. Wickens gathered 57 votes. Dorothy Clater is a native of Washington and has served on the Town Council since 1976. She has also served as town clerk since that time.

Although he shares his fellow council members’ concerns about growth, he feels that some exceptions in the ordinances should be made for residents with small or odd-shaped lots, “. . .for them to do something more with their property.” Mr. Skowronski received 45 votes. Another newcomer to the council is Nan Thomasson. She feels that by operating' a business in town (Country Heritage), “I think I’m in a unique position to discover the opinions and concerns of the townspeople. Having the shop in town keeps me constantly in touch.” Although she shares a widespread opposition to uncontrolled growth, she feels that “the council should develop its own vision of how growth should be controlled and tapped as a source of badly-needed revenue.” 3he suggested cooperation between the council and local businesses in developing ideas. In her first campaign Mrs. Thomasson was rewarded with 54 votes. Wallace Critzer was defeated in his effort to win re-election to his second term on the council. Mr. Critzer, a 50-year resident of the town, campaigned on a “no problems” platform. Also making a second, unsuccessful bid for a seat on the council was Reinhardt Lynch. Mr. Lynch, co-proprietor of The Inn at Little Washington, shared his fellow candidates’ concerns about preserving the rural character , of the community while still adapting constructively to “inevitable changes.” Out of a total of 145 eligible voters, 84 residents took part in the election.
