Virginia 22747 Phone 675-3349 25 cents Council to act on zoning changes By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New9 Staff Writer “The comprehensive plan is a damn good document,” said Washington Planning Commission member Frank Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds was defending the controversial plan recommended to the Town Council for consideration along with proposed changes to the existing zoning ordinances. The commission’s recommendation for adoption followed a stormy public hearing held on July 10. Commissioners William Wickens, Dan Lewis and Randolph Clater concurred with Mr. Reynolds in recommending both documents to the council. Much of the controversy surrounding the comprehensive plan centered around its conservative approach to commercial growth within the town. The comprehensive plan describes a village “(which) has not changed appreciably since its inception . . . dotted with gardens, orchards, meadows, pastures, hayfields and open spaces . . . characterized by detached dwellings with attractive yards and gardens.” Mr. Reynolds explained that the comprehensive plan provides a basis for the changes to the zoning ordinances. The adoption of a comprehensive plan by every municipality in the state has been mandated by the General Assembly. “It lays out clearly the reasons for the resurgence of the town — and it’s not widespread commercialism,” he said. “The plan provides plenty of commercial space to meet the needs of the town now and in the near future. Look around at other towns getting into trouble by zoning more commercial areas than needed. They are artificially inflating the intensity of use,” he continued. The law requires that the comprehensive plan be reviewed at least every five years, Mr. Reynolds explained. “And people can petition the town to amend the zoning ordinances any time. In the future the town may change the plan and/or the zoning to meet changing needs.” In defending the commission’s recommendations regarding the four proposed zoning classifications, Mr. Reynolds explained that it is first necessary to understand that presently the entire town is zoned residential. “There are only four ‘by-right’ uses in the town: singlefamily dwellings, two-family dwellings, churches and libraries. All other uses are either non-conforming (uses which precede the adoption of the ordinance ^ or special permit.” The present ordinances “offer little protection for the truly residential areas,” Mr. Reynolds said. Any use which has previously been granted a permit may go anywhere in town. “The Attorney General has ruled that there must be a rational basis for giving (a permit) one place and denying it in another—otherwise the court has ruled that the zoning is ‘arbitrary and capricious’.” Several local businessmen were among the three dozen residents who attended the hearing. Both C. E. (Skippy) Giles, owner of the Washington Cash Store, and Wallace Ciitzcr, who with hit sons operates a heavy equipment business in town, protested the location of their businesses in residential zones. Both men complained that the residential zoning would devalue their property and make it more difficult for them to sell, should they decide to do so. Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Wickens explained that both businesses now operate in residential zones by special permit “so we’re not taking anything away from you. It will be the same as it’s always been.” Both businesses are non-conforming uses, the commissioners said. “Their use existed legally before the zoning went into effect. Any legally constituted use may continue—it may be sold, or the owner’s children may use it,” Mr. Reynolds stated. He added that “good zoning practice requires that zoning be done in blocks.” The Supreme Court of Virginia has ruled against “spot zoning” (zoning one particular area for the private benefit of one particular individual) and has declared that the purpose of zoning is the general welfare of the community—that areas should be zoned which are in the best interests and the common good. “At some point it becomes a judgement call—and the people affected may question it,” Mr. Reynolds conceded. The key is “to look at the make-up of the general area, not each specific business (lot) smack in the middle of a residential area.” “We have protected people with necessary uses. I don’t know of another town which allows a non-conforming use to be rebuilt even if it is 100 percent destroyed. We have no intention of putting anyone out of business,” Mr. Reynolds affirmed. “The property values are enhanced by the village atmosphere—no one loses money by being located in Washington. Its appeal is not in its commercial potential.” “I think there’s some fine tuning which could be done; some «• things we didn’t think of,” the commissioner admitted. “But it does respect responsible renovation, high-quality craftsmen, high-quality restaurants and the maintanence of a small village atmosphere. That’s why this town is as good as it is.” Copies of both the proposed comprehensive plan and the amendments to the present zoning ordinance are available to the public in the office of the county clerk. A public hearing on the two documents has been scheduled by the Town Council for 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 30, at the Courthouse in Washington.

Christopher Crose (with shovel) assists his father Jim in backfilling around the holding tank in J. C. Holland’s yard. Board reassures WSA members ~u . By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News staff writer At a special joint meeting last Thursday, Rappahannock’s supervisors promised to assume defense costs in the event of a suit against the county’s Water and Sewer Authority in the absence of public officials’ liability coverage. The board took that position despite questions over its own liability policy, which has apparently been sold to a Chicago firm by the original underwriter, Markel Services, Inc. A representative of Markel Services reported two weeks ago that the WSA was not included in the county’s public officials liability coverage. The news prompted a request from the Authority members that the supervisors cover both defense costs and any judgements against the WSA in the interim until coverage to protect them as individuals is secured. Douglas Baumgardner, the Authority’s attorney, was also directed to review the WSA’s general coverage already in place as a rider on the county’s policy. “I have not been successful in getting a copy of that policy,” Mr. Baumgardner told the Authority members and three supervisors at last Thursday’s emergency session. “It’s not a matter of getting the copies from where they’re sitting in someone’s drawer,” said John McCarthy, the board’s administrative assistant. “The policies haven’t been written as of now.” Mr. Baumgardner added that a second representative from Markel, the insurance company that originally assumed the board’s public officials liability coverage, told him last week that “normally, under a public officials liability policy, when the county is named as insured, coverage is deemed to include any sewer or water authority.” Authority members are considered to be under the control of the Board of Supervisors because they are appointed by the board and can only undertake those projects authorized by the governing body, he added. “So it may be we have full coverage,” Mr. Baumgardner said, adding that the insurance company was to give him a definitive answer by Monday. But according to the county’s insurance consultant, public officials liability for the WSA “is not essential coverage,” Mr. Baumgardner continued. The county’s insurance consultant recommended that if public officials liability for the Authority members “costs more than $10 per annum, don’t get it.” Claims normally covered under a policy of that type involve wrongful termination of employment on the basis of sexual or racial discrimination, according to the consultant. “He doesn’t know of a single claim like that being filed in Continued on page 16 Rappahannock News photo/Greg Tumei CLAYTON SHICK EXCAVATES earth for the installation of a holding tank behind the Sperryville Post Office. Jury finds Ethel Larimer not g uilty By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Rappahannock County Circuit Court jury late Friday found Ethel B. Larimer, 38, Rt. 1, Box 615, Amissville, not guilty of being an accessory before the fact in the breaking and entering and grand larceny at Mr. and Mrs. Charles Compton’s house on Rt. 645 in Amissville last February 28. During the trial, heard by Circuit Court Judge Carleton Penn, the Commonwealth alleged that Mrs. Larimer had participated in the planning of and had prior knowledge of the break-in. According to evidence presented by Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter H. Luke, Mrs. Larimer assisted her son Charles, her daughter Susan, and their friends John Richard Eastham and Thomas Henry Grohs with planning the burglary at the Compton home. Richard Eastham testified that “Chucky (Larimer) was short on cash.” He said that Mrs. Larimer Mrs. Ethel B. Larimer suggested, “Why don’t you rob Mrs. Compton? She’s old, lives alone in a house . . . she doesn’t have any animals.” Eastham further testified that Sketches courtesy of Joy Luke John Richard Eastham the group sat around a table at the Larimer house and plotted on a hand-drawn map the details of the crime, and that Mrs. Larimer contributed specific suggestions, mclud ing that the group enter the house from the back, since it sat so close to the road. Eastham said that after outfitting themselves with ski masks, gloves, two gym bags and wire-cutters the trio (Eastham, Charles and Susan Larimer) drove to Mrs. Compton’s house. They broke into the house through a basement door in the back and went upstairs. According to Eastham, Charles Larimer lit a cigarette lighter to see where he was and Mrs. Compton woke up and screamed. All three then fled the house without taking anything. When they returned to the Larimer house empty-handed, Mrs. Larimer berated the trio for being “dumb idiots,” Eastham testified. He said that she told them if she had been there she would have done things differently. The three then took Mrs. Larimer’s car and, after picking up Thomas Grohs, returned to the Continued on page 16 ‘Everything fine’ with county landfill By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News staff writer Rappahannock's trash crisis appears-to be over, at least for the time being. Robert Forman, area supervisor for solid and hazardous waste management, reported on Monday that the closure plan for the county’s privately owned and , operated landfill has been approved, with the inclusion of a 10 foot elevated extension to provide another 12 months of capacity- ityMr. Forman had projected that capacity at the Woodville site would be reached this July and had ordered a closure plan filed. Closure of the landfill on Clifton Clark’s property would have left Community Trash Disposal, Inc., without a dump site in Rappahannock and without a means of fulfilling its contract with the county. (Under the terms of that contract. Community Trash becomes responsible for all solid waste once it is deposited in the dumpsters which the company provides and maintains at scattered locations.) Earlier this month, Rappahannock’s supervisors approved the 10-foot lift suggested by Mr. Forman for the existing site while affirming their intention to provide a new county landfill or other suitable method of solid waste disposal by July 1, 1987. They also assured landowners adjoining the Clark property that they have no plans to continue the landfill there past that Continued on page 5

The estate, winch includes pasture and f* 'sted land, was sold through Mount Vernon Realty of Warrenton by Joseph Allen, Jr. The Mayvilles bought 90 acres of the 464-acre parcel, and plan to keep it as a working farm, raising Black Angus cattle and hay. They are presently living on the estate near Castleton. Bloodmobile at new location The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at its new location, the parish hall of the Warrenton United Methodist Church, on Thursday, July 31, between noon and 6 p.m. The hall is just off the Warrenton Bypass on Church Street, the first intersection north of Waterloo Street. The first blood drive of the Fauquier Chapter of the Red Cross in its new fiscal year that began July 1 has a goal of 90 units (pints), according to George Borjes, the chapter’s blood services chairman. For this fiscal year, the Fauquier Chapter — which serves Rappahannock as well as Fauquier County — has been given a quota of 1225 units. This is a reduction from last year’s quota of 1300 but is more realistic, says Borjes, in light of the chapter’s performances during the past few > ■ - —^—i i- i ! years. In the fiscal year that ended June 30 the chapter collected 1044 units, 80 percent of the quota. In the past three fiscal years, the chapter has regularly collected between 1000 and 1100 units, averaging about 80 percent of its goal.

Chemicals posed no health hazard No hazard is the preliminary conclusion from the Department of Agriculture inspector who last Wednesday checked the site of a fire believed to have consumed potentially toxic agricultural chemicals. Robert Morris from the Department of Agriculture’s Warrenton office found “nothing for people to be up in arms about’’ in the remains of a shed behind the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-operative. Fire fighters had discovered storage drums and remnants of chemical packages in the burning shed, located on the edge of an orchard owned by Wilbur Wright. Experts in hazardous materials consulted by telephone advised the fire fighters to don breathing apparatus and use sand rather th^n water to control the flames so as to avoid run-off. Workers at the scene last Tuesday night were unable to determine exactly what was burning since the materials, some dated as early as 1973, had been left in the shed by the previous property owner. When he arrived early Wednesday morning, there was no pesticide smell hanging in the air, Mr. Morris said, evidence that there was “nothing to be concerned with regarding volatization.” He found one container with the label burned off that still held a white liquid, determined to be “superior oil,” an insecticide Mr. Morris described as “innocuous.” He also found traces of an fungicide that would likewise pose no threat to human health or the environment. He said he was unable to detect an odor in any of the storage drums found in the ashes of the shed. “I saw no evidence of hard, toxic pesticides,” Mr. Morris emphasized, in a telephone interview this week. Soil, water and foliage samples have been sent to a lab in Richmond for testing. “I expect a report back in a couple of weeks but my experience tells me that we really don’t have anything to worry about here,” the Department of Agriculture inspector said. Mr. Morris recalled that people at the scene during the fire reported “smelling something”. He noted that Alex Sharp, who took over management of the orchard last year, had sprayed earlier on the day of the fire. (Mr. Sharp is a certified pesticide applicator, licensed by the state.) “People were probably smelling that orchard spray,” Mr. Morris noted. Arriving at the fire site last Wednesday, Mr. Morris said he’d been “pleasantly surprised. . .Your fire department did an extremely good job by using sand, a safe absorbent (means to put out the fire). There was no run-off problem,” he said, noting that he’d checked a small pond close by for traces and found none. Col. Dieter Kneupfer, Rappahannock’s emergency services coordinator, also complimented the job fire fighters did in coping with a potential hazard from unknown chemicals. But he pointed out that for the future, their job could be made easier and safer if orchardists, vintners and farmers keep lists of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals stored in large quantities. “They should know what they have and where it is so that they can tell fire fighters what they’re dealing with.” The emergency services coordinator acknowledged that most people in Rappahannock have hazardous chemicals stored in kitchen cabinets or in the back corner of a garage or basement. “But it’s not enough of anything to cause a real problem,” he said, emphasizing that quantity is the key. “When you’re dealing with 55 gallon drums and 50 pound sacks, that’s an entirely different story.” “It pays for an orchardist or a farmer to keep an inventory (of pesticides and other chemicals),” Mr. Morris agreed. He also suggested that storage buildings be marked on the outside with warning signs “so that firemen don’t go charging in.” As another safety measure, he advised triple rinsing containers when empty, then knocking holes in them before disposing of the drums in a sanitary landfill. As for the sand left covering the ashes of the shed, Mr. Morris suggested that it be disposed of in the landfill as well. The sand dumped on the flames by the fire fighters poses no environmental threat, according to the USDA inspector. “It won’t give you any more of a problem than if you’d spilled oil on sand,” he said, noting that the only chemicals determined to have been in that shed are “light petroleum oil base.” Mr. Morris, who also reported his findings to the Environmental Protection Agency, had a final word of assurance: “People should be concerned about pesticides, but not alarmed.” Flint Hill VFD sets carnival The annual fundraising carnival for the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department will be held from next Wednesday, July 30 through Saturday, August 2. The site will be the carnival grounds next to the firehouse just off Rt. 522 in Flint Hill. Wednesday will be a special family night, with any or all rides for one low price from 6:30 to 10 p.m. The Firemen’s Parade will kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Miss Virginia, Julianne Smith of Yorktown, will be ^imonjf, the featured guests riding in the parade. There will also be high school bands, majorettes, shrine and legion units, antique cars, fire and rescue vehicles, and many floats including civic and comic entries. “If you like a parade, don’t miss it,” said Moe Walker of the Flint Hill VFD. Displays in the fire hall will include the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation state fair exhibit and a display from the Virginia Wildlife Division. Prizes to be won in the raffle include a 19&6 Chevette, a registered Black An gus (donated by Josef M. Gardiner of High Meadow Farm), two season tickets to the Redskins home games, a set of living room furniture and a handmade quilt. Every night there will be plenty of games, rides, and food and drink for all, Mr. Walker said. Thursday night there will be box dinners available at the carnival grounds from 5 p.m. on. “Everyone is welcome at the carnival,” Mr. Walker concluded. “Come out, greet your old friends and make new ones.” Trible favors tax reform Senator Paul Trible reported that both the Senate and the House of Representatives have now passed tax reform measures and a conference committee is meeting to reconcile the differences in the two bills. The Senate tax reform measure establishes a simpler and fairer tax system and one where everyone will pay lower tax rates. Today, there are 15 individual tax brackets, Sen. Trible said. Under the Senate bill there would be just two — 15 percent and 27 percent. More than 80 percent of America’s taxpayers will pay 15 percent and no more. Six million working poor will pay nothing. “And, there is a tough minimum tax on wealthy individuals and corporations that will ensure that everyone pays their fair share,” the Senator added. “Most importantly, by eliminat ing a vast array of deductions, exemptions and tax credits, it is possible to substantially reduce tax rates for everyone. Lower tax rates will give all taxpayers a much greater incentive and reward for hard work, savings, productivity, risk taking — the kinds of activities that create jobs and economic growth and prosperity.” Sen. Trible predicted that in the give and take of the conference committee, the House will move toward the Senate position. Of course, he added, the House members will push for higher tax rates, and to the extent that there is some upward movement, the conferees will be able to restore full participation in Individual Retirement Accounts and provide fairer rules of transition. “I absolutely favor retaining IRAs,” Sen. Trible affirmed. “Tens of millions of Americans contribute to IRAs each year. They encourage people to save and invest for their own future security and, in turn, provide a pool of savings that is available to fuel economic growth.’ “I believe the Congress will approve a tax reform measure and the President will sign it this year — perhaps as early as this summer, he concluded.

We have run out of leads to pursue.” Mrs. Kreitler said that the department will make financial arrangements with anyone willing to provide shortterm care for the girl. Anyone who is willing to assist the department or would like additional information should contact Mrs. Kreitler or Vivian Hulsey at the Department of Social Services (6753313). Eagle shot; reward offered The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a reward of up to $2500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the shooting of a Golden Eagle in Rappahannock County. The incident occurred in March on Route 211 about two miles east of Ben Venue. Golden Eagles are protected by federal law, and the incident is being investigated by federal authorities. Anyone with information concerning this incident should contact the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 446, Fredericksburg, VA 22401. Information may also be given to the local game warden, who can be contacted through the Sheriffs Department. All information will be kept confidential. T Foothills Association names board of directors By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer The five counties that make up Planning District Nine will be included in the promotional efforts of the Foothills Travel Association, a group that met for the third time earlier this month and approved articles of incorporation to be sent on to the State Corporation Commission for approval. Representatives from business and local government groups elected a board of directors which includes two representatives from each of the member counties, according to William H. Strider, director of the planning district. Nan Thomasson, Washington Town Council member and proprietor of Country Heritage and Heritage House in Washington, and Sandra Cartwright-Brown of the Conyers House in Slate Mills were board members chosen from Rappahannock. “Rappahannock is well represented and very active in this group,” said Mr. Strider. He explained that the organization had originally met in May in response to the State Department of Tourism’s request that the counties develop promotional ideas and material based on their planning district grouping. This makes it easier to promote tourism, he said. The planning district staff has provided organizational and support services in helping its member counties to achieve their stated goal of promot ing tourism on a regional level. “At each meeting we’ve had more people and gotten more accomplished,” said Mrs. Thomasson. She invited interested Rappahannock residents to attend the next meeting, which will be held August 5 at Meadowood in Slate Mills. Eventually, according to Mr. Strider, the group will develop a kind of “tourist inventory,” a list of attractions, natural, recreational and commercial, that would draw visitors to this region. The promotional material containing this information would then be available at tourist centers, airports, and at each single attraction. In this way, each business or county that benefits from the tourism dollar can inform visitors of other opportunities in the region. “We don’t warit anyone to get the mistaken idea that residential development is part of our purpose,” said Mrs. Thomasson. “In fact, this type of development was specifically and unanimously stricken from our goals.” After the new board members meet July 30 and approve the proposed bylaws, the officers will be named, said Mr. Strider. He encouraged anyone interested in participating in the new association to call him at the planning district office in Culpeper, talk to a board member, or simply show up at the August 5 membership meeting. RCHS fall sports tryouts All athletes planning to go out for a fall sport at RCHS should make plans to meet August 11 with practice clothes and a current (after July 1, 1986) doctor’s physical. Physical forms are available at RCHS any weekday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Athletes will not be allowed to practice until their coach has the proper physical in hand. Tryouts for girls’ basketball (varsity and JV) will start at 10 a.m. August 11 in the RCHS gymnasium. Girls interested in trying out but unable to attend this first meeting must call Coach Leake at 987-8236. Tryouts for soccer and cross country (boys and girls) will be held at 7 p.m. August 11. Soccer members should meet on the soccer field while cross country members are to meet on the outside bleachers. Cheerleaders will be contacted directly at a later date for their start-up meeting. Any athlete wishing to go out for one of these sports but who is unable to make the first meeting should call RCHS (987-8575) and leave a message that will be relayed to your coach. This includes any girls’ basketball player not able to get in touch with Coach Leake. 1 Check the real estate listing in ftappatjannotfe Detos for information on the market.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. v____/ THURSDAY, JULY 24,1986 Editorial It’s a start The Planning Commission for the Town of Washington has submitted to the Town Council, with a recommendation for approval, a comprehensive plan and amendments to the present zoning ordinances. The proposals met with mixed reviews and some hostility at the public hearing held recently. Certainly the plans are not perfect, and that fact was admitted by a member of the commission in a recent interview. They do, however, represent a starting point. The state has mandated that every local governing body draw up a comprehensive plan to guide the growth and development of the area. So there is no question that Washington must comply with the law. The question is how many people will agree with the point of view expressed by the proposed plan. The sentiment has been expressed that the plan is too conservative; that it will restrict development and deprive some residents of fair means to pursue their livelihood. The same sentiment has been heard regarding the major change in the zoning ordinances—to redistrict the town into four classifications instead of the current one. One of the considerations in revising this, as well as some other of the ordinances, has been to make them more defensible should they be challenged in court. The Planning Commission has put in many long volunteer hours attempting to integrate the various points of view expressed by the diverse members of the Washington community. They have certainly not succeeded in pleasing everyone. But they seem to have tried to express a spirit, a sense of what the Town of Washington is, and the direction its growth should take in the near future. As was pointed out by the commission members, the plan is to be reviewed at least every five years. Zoning ordinances may be amended at any time. The plans proposed by the commission are far from carved in stone. The proposals do represent a start toward creating a sensible, consistent base on which to plan for the future of Washington. The commissioners deserve recognition for their efforts. , , A public hearing on the proposals has been scheduled for next Wednesday, July 30, at 8 p.m. at the Courthouse. If you support the commission’s recommendations, come and offer that support. If you disagree with the findings, come and voice your concerns. Only by hearing the input of the residents will the Town Council have a fair idea of how the majority of Washington’s citizens feel.

Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner TWO ADULT WHITE-TAILS and a fawn graze peacefully in a field near the entrance of Gid Brown Hollow. V, Letters to the editor Join the effort To the editor: The citizens of Rappahannock have an opportunity to help our county maintain the quality and pride of our historic past. Please join in supporting the renovation of the Courthouse, our most visible public building and a fine example of the county’s heritage. The Board of Supervisors has recently been asked to renovate the courtroom. The limited funds available dictated a modernization of the room to include a suspended ceiling and surface mounting lighting. Believing that the tradition of the room should be retained, a group of concerned citizens and the Rappahannock Historical Society have joined together to raise an additional $8,000 to enhance the renovation efforts. These additional funds have been obtained on loan and must be reimbursed. They are enabling the renovators to drywall the ceiling, to maintain the current height, to purchase appropriate reproduction lighting, and to obtain materials to support the refinishing of the benches. These are critical items in maintaining the dignity of the courtroom. If you share the feelings of the Historical Society you take a great deal of pride in the county’s heritage as well as in our public buildings. Please let us add your name to the courtroom plaque commemorating this effort. Send your tax-deductible contribution to the Rappahannock Historical Society, P.O. Box 261, Washington, Va. 22747, earmarked for the Courthouse Renovation. FRIENDS OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Washington More than enough? To the editor: In a letter to the editor appearing in the July 10 edition of your paper, Charles and Helen Platt state that the money spent per student in the Rappahannock schools is $2,625.59. In mid-May of this year I was told by the school board office that $3.2 million has been budgeted for the schools for a student body of about 940. This comes to $3,400 per student — substantially higher than reported by the Platts. Properly applied, and following the Platts’ analysis of school costs elsewhere, this amount would appear to be more than enough. GEORGE H. SHARP Washington Slaughter votes for tax bill Rep. D. French Slaughter, (R7th), voted in favor of the motion which was passed in the House of Representatives to instruct the House conferees participating in the tax bill negotiations with the Senate to insist on four key points. This motion instructs the House tax conferees to agree to tax rates no higher than in the Senate bill — that is, personal tax rates of 15 and 27 percent, and a top corporate rate of 33 percent. The House conferees will also insist on a full $2,000 exemption for both itemizers and non-itemizers for all but the wealthiest taxpayers. In addition, the House conferees have been instructed to allow no net increases in the Federal tax code. Rep. Slaughter said that the preservation of present law with respect to Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs, is also important. The above points have merit on the whole. The question on the final vote on the tax bill is whether or not it is an improvement over the pre sent tax law, Rep. Slaughter added. The House of Representatives has passed, and Rep. Slaughter has supported, a resolution that would confirm the $11.7 billion in budget savings achieved through the March 1 deficit reduction targets called for under the Gramm-Rudman law of 1985. After the Supreme Court decision on the Gramm-Rudman law, this action became necessary to make constitutional the automatic reductions begun under the GrammRudman law before the court action. The automatic reductions were in process because Congress failed to do its part in fixing spending priorities for this budget year. Rep. Slaughter said that it is time for Congress to act promptly on a series of appropriation bills to meet the deficit reduction targets it set in the Gramm-Rudman Budget Act and to avoid the automatic budget reductions for the next budget year beginning October 1, 1986. Police report holiday deaths The Virginia State Police reported that at least 20 people lost their lives on Virginia’s highways during the July 4 holiday period extending from 6 p.m., Thursday, July 3, through midnight Sunday, July 6. Of the 20 persons killed, two were pedestrians, two were riding motorcycles, and nine were determined to be alcohol related. Only two of the 16 persons killed who should have been wearing their seatbelts were buckled up. Participating in Operation CARE — an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort —for the ninth consecutive year, Virginia troopers patrolled 134,323 miles during the holiday and assisted 3,327 stranded or otherwise distressed motorists. Operation CARE is a state-sponsored national program in which the Department’s involvement includes increasing the visibility of troopers on selected sections of the state’s interstate and major primary highways to promote safe driving habits by motorists. Troopers arrested or issued summons to 5,025 motorists during the July 4 holiday period, including 3,430 for speeding, 561 reckless driving, 66 driving drunk, and 968 for other hazardous violations. 15-year-old girl raped After an 18-hour hunt, Loudoun Sheriffs deputies Thursday arrested two men who allegedly raped a 15year-old girl who was walking alone in Sterling Park. The men were charged with abduction with intent to defile, rape and sodomy in the incident a 20-year police veteran called one of the most brutual he’d ever seen. The girl was walking alone at the intersection of Commerce and Holly streets between 11 p.m. and midnight Wednesday on her way home from the Sterling Park Shopping Center. Two men in a red sports car slowed down beside her and asked if she needed a lift. She said she didn’t but they made her get into the car anyway, according to police reports. Unique engine on view A one-of-a-kind steam engine, not only reconstructed by the Shenandoah Valley Gas and Steam Association but also saved from a life of crime, will be on display at the annual Steam Show this weekend. The three-day event, Friday through Sunday, takes at the Ruritan Fairgrounds on Rt. 7 west of Berryville. An antique tractor pull is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday and a horse pull will be held Saturday at 6 p.m.At least 125 vendors will display their items in the flea market and the youngsters can enjoy steam drawn hayrides around the grounds. The show begins at noon on Friday and opens at 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. LaRouche group appeals Herbert Rubenstein, the Reston lawyer who represents Campaigner Publications — the LaRoucheoriented corporation with a Leesbure address — filed a Piedmont neighbors notice of appeal of Campaigner v. Dabkowski last week in Loudoun Circuit Court. Steve Dabkowski had been sued for $2 million in March by Campaigner and its employees Linda deHoyos and Susan Ulanowsky for remarks he made on a February WRC-TV program that addressed the tension between LaRouche followers and longtime Loudoun residents. Mr. LaRouche came to Loudoun in 1983. The application to operate a camp for the children of Campaigner employees failed in a 2-2 Board of Zoning Appeals vote in February, 1986, after the camp had been run or two years. Landfill hearing set After heated comments by citizens and board members Monday, the Loudoun Board of Supervisors delayed action until Sept. 15 on proposed ordinance changes about privately operated debris landfills. The supervisors and the county Planning Commission will hold joint public hearings on the proposed changes which would allow debris landfills. Public comment and supervisor discussion lasted 2V4 hours, after which Supervisor Andrew R. Bird III (R-Sterling) withdrew his attempt to get a vote on a zoning ordinance amendment and regulation changes which would have allowed private operation of debris landfills. More duties expected PORTSMOUTH — The new head of the Coast Guard’s Fifth District expects the service to continue its shift from regulatory and law enforcement activities toward more military duties along the nation’s waterways. Rear Adm. Bobby F. Hollingsworth says the future will bring new and rehabilitated cutters that are likely to be armed with increasingly sophisticated weaponry, ail as part of the growing military role of the Coast Guard. But the changes will take time. For now, the impact on budgets and training will be slight. “There are not big bucks going into this yet,” he said. Covington opposes merge COVINGTON — Members of the city council in this western Virginia city have unanimously denounced a state recommendation that Covington merge with Clifton Forge and Alleghany County to form a new city. Last week, the state Commission on Local Government issued a report giving its approval to a proposed consolidated city, to be called Alleghany Highlands. The report was praised earlier this week by Clifton Forge and county officials and by a court-appointed committee of citizens that represented Covington in the merger talks. But the Covington City Council wants annexation of 3.74 square miles of the county, not consolidation. Wells draining aquifers VIRGINIA BEACH — Water consumption in the Great Neck and Little Neck areas of Virginia is depleting the Yorktown aquifers, officials say. Across Virginia As many as 11 million gallons of water are pumped from the ground for use on lawns and shrubs every day on the two peninsulas, the Virginia Beach Department of Public Utilities said. And that water comes from the same underground supply that thousands of people depend on for drinking water. Budget cuts hurt parks As Virginia’s state parks system marks its 50th birthday this summer, it is looking for new ways to attract visitors while it copes with federal budget cuts. Federal aid received by the state to develop new parks has shrunk from about $6 million in the 1970s to $1 million this year, he said. State funding has remained level at $6.9 million annually for the past few years, he said. Judge halts program ABINGDON — A federal judge has struck down as unconstitutional a government program that he says created unwarranted delays for people seeking Social Security benefits. In addition, the experimental program, designed to seek the truth about disability claims, violates the Social Security Act because of the way it has been carried out, U.S. District Judge Glen M. Williams said last Wednesday.

This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 35 YEARS AGO . RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 27, 1961, edition Paul M. Coleman of Wytheville, Virginia, has accepted the position of part-time Assistant County Agent in Rappahannock and assumed duties in that office last week. He will also be part-time assistant in Warren County. The Rappahannock Garden Club held its regular monthly meeting at the Episcopal Parish Hall on Wednesday, July 19, at 2 p.m. Mrs. C. B. Johnson was hostess. Mrs. H. B. Winfrey, program director, introduced Mr. W. H. Lyne, County Agent, who spoke on planning and zoning projects in Rappahannock County. His remarks were illustrated by colored movies and charts. 20YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 21, 1966, edition James G. Whitehurst of Virginia Beach, a conditionally appointed trooper, has been assigned to Rappahannock County for a training period and will be working with Trooper J. B. Willis and W. A. Buntin. Mr. Whitehurst will attend the next basic training school in Richmond beginning August 15. He is living in the home of Mrs. Virginia Lewis in Sperryville. The old brick building on Gay Street near the Courthouse in Washington will eventually house a county museum which the Historical Society hopes to establish in the future. Very little factual history of the building has been obtained. However, it is thought to have been used as a tavern, county clerk’s office, outside kitchen for Avon Hall, and lawyer’s office, among other r things. The Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company owned it and housed local equipment in it until they constructed a new exchange building last year. The company gave the Historical Society the old building and a lot on which to put it. The structure was moved 13 feet to the new lot. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 22, 1971, edition Tim Kilby of Sperryville has been appointed one of the official photographers by the Space Agency for the Apollo 15 Moon Shot which will be launched from Cape Kennedy, Fla., Monday, July 26. Tim is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Kilby of Sperryville. Mrs. Leonard Barron of Viewtown, Miss Elsie Dodson and Mrs. Louis Moore, both of Flint Hill, have completed a course on Tests and Measurements given at Warren County High School. The three women are teachers at Rappahannock County Elementary School. 10YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 22, 1976, edition Citizens of Sperryville will be given an opportunity to state their views on what type of sewage system they prefer at a public hearing scheduled for 8 p.m. on July 30 at the Sperryville fire hall. Completing the fiscal year, the Rappahannock County School System remained on solid ground, according to O. A. Norton, Superintendent, at the July 13 meeting of the group. Budget items had been cut tb keep in line with the available funds allowed by the state. Basic school funds had been trimmed by the state last fall. VDACS has HELP for stricken farmers The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has expanded the scope of its toll-free information lines for farmers and has established a Hay/Feed Emergency Location Program (HELP) to assist farmers in locating hay to buy or sell. The toll-free numbers are 1-800-552-1833 or 1-800-552-5521. The second number provides recorded livestock price information. “It appears, at the present time, that hay is available from Virginia sources to handle immediate needs,” said S. Mason Carbaugh VDACS Commissioner. However, the Commissioner advised any farmer with a 50 percent or higher feed loss to contact his local ASCS office before purchasing any hay or feed to be eligible for the ASCS’s Emergency Feed Program. Virginia’s Eastern Shore potato production for this year is expected to be only 1.2 million hundredweights, compared with 3.3 million hundredweights in 1985, according to Homer K. Rowley of the Virginia Agricultural Statistics Service. Rowley said wheat estimates for this year in the Old Dominion are 6.8 million bushels, compared to 10.5 million bushels produced a year ago. Flue-cured tobacco was expected to produce about 56 million pounds this year, while farmers harvested 65.1 million pounds in 1985, the VASS reported. Estimates on later summer crops, such as com, soybeans, and peanuts, will come in August. Com and soybeans appear to be two of the hardest hit commodities. There is still a bright spot for Virginia agriculture though. Apple and peach growers still expect good harvests. Apples are estimated to produce about 500 million pounds, which could be the largest harvest since 1982, Rowley said. About 395 million pounds were produced a year ago, he said. Peaches may produce 32 million pounds, the largest crop in two years. A spring freeze virtually wiped out the entire state peach crop in 1985. Trapezoid plays The Bluemont Concert Series will present Trapezoid in concert Saturday, July 26, at 7:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Warren Green Hotel in downtown Warrenton.

Landfill Continued from page 1 date nor would they seek to acquire any portion of the property for a new dump. In return, the neighboring landowners agreed to drop a threatened legal challenge to continuation of solidwaste disposal at the Woodville site. “Everything is fine,” Mr. Forman confirmed on Monday. The board’s resolution met his requirements, the landfill supervisor noted. “The closure plan has been submitted and approved. I’m just waiting for written confirmation from our geotechnical man who reviewed the plan.” Mr. Forman said on Monday that he’d expected to receive written confirmation last week. Asked if the delay may mean an unexpected snag, he said that “the way things have been happening in Richmond the last few months, I’m never sure of anything. But as far as I’m concerned, there’s no problem.” While the 10-foot lift will give the existing site approximately a year’s worth of extra capacity, Mr. Forman expressed doubt as to whether the landfill could be used for sludge disposal. (To meet the requirements for a sludge management plan, necessary in order for the Sperryville sewage treatment plant to be issued a certificate to operate, the Board of Supervisors has resolved to dispose of sludge in the county’s sanitary landfill.) Before the dump can be used for Sperryville’s sludge, estimated at just 47 pounds of dry solids per year, approval must be given by the State Water Control Board and his Department of Waste Management, according to Mr. Forman. “Sludge disposal might be a problem . . . With a small landfill like Rappahannock’s, it would depend on how it’s used,” Mr. Forman said. Land application of sludge at the dump site would be “more acceptable,” he said. “You try to put wet sludge INTO the landfill, and you’ve got a problem.” Mr. Forman reported that Rappahannock’s supervisors have asked for an application for preliminary approval of a new landfill site but that the completed form has not yet been returned to his Culpeper office. Once application is made, the approval process for a new landfill takes eight to 10 months, he concluded. _ _ FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA 22630 SIDEWALK SALE Friday & Saturday July 25 & 26 % PRICE on all spring & summer merchandise Use Our Rear Entrance and Parking --~~—-■ ..

V Comp plan shows older population The revised first chapter of Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan has good news for the county’s controlled growth advocates: provisional estimates from the University of Virginia’s Tayloe Murphy Institute show no change in the local population since 1980. Bob Strider, executive director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Planning District Commission, presented the county planning commissioners with the first chapter and introduction to the comprehensive plan now under review by the commissioners with technical assistance from the Planning District staff. “This is very, very similar to the existing plan,” Mr. Strider said, passing out copies of the first installment at last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting. “There have been a few changes and updates, but this deals primarily with soils and geology, and those don’t change.” He noted that statistics compiled from the 1980 census data highlight population trends. From 1850 to 1970, the county’s population shrank from 9,782 to 5,199, a decrease of almost 47 percent. Then, the curve turned upward again, with the population going to 6,093 in 1980, an increase of just over 17 percent. By comparison, for that same 10-year period, the state’s population grew by 14.9 percent, according to the comprehensive plan. But the growth spurt here appears to be leveling off. “Between 1980 and 1985, the county’s population hasn’t increased very much,” Mr. Strider said, pointing to the information from Tayloe Murphy which puts the number of people here at only seven more than those counted by census takers in 1980. While the numbers have remained stable, however, characteristics have not. The elderly now make up a larger percentage of the county’s population than they did 17 years ago. In 1970, Rappahannock had 1,328 people—or 25 percent of the total— 62 years and older. By 1980, those 62 or older numbered 1,904, or 31 percent of the population. Viewed from another perspective, while the county’s total population grew by 17 percent between 1970 and 1980, the number of people 62 or older increased by 43 percent. At the other end of the graph, the number of school aged children—those 18 and younger—declined by 20 percent between 1970 and 1980. (The county School Board is currently conducting a new local census of school aged children which will provide current data.) Commissioner Newbill Miller predicted that information more recent than the 1980 census would show an even larger percentage of elderly people here. “I bet that figure has changed another 10 percent since 1980.” “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised,” agreed Commissioner Werner Krebser. “People who are moving in —many, many are retired people.” After skimming the first chapter of the revised plan, the commissioners had few comments. They did, however, direct Mr. Strider to change the heading on a soils map which delineated soils on the basis of “building suitability,” asking him to come up with wording that doesn’t imply endorsement for residential development. The commissioners agreed to review the draft chapter and offer additional changes—if necessary—at next month’s meeting when they’ll receive the plan’s second installment. “John (McCarthy, zoning administrator and administrative assistant to the Board of Supervisors) and I will be working on this together,” noted Mr. Strider. “I’m very thankful that the county now has a staff person. The comprehensive plan will be better for it.” In a quick review of requests coming up before the Board of Zoning Appeals, the planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval for Kinsey and Deborah Wharton’s application for a variance to build a roofed carport. The zoning ordinance requires a 50foot setback from the rear property line; the carport will be set back just 38 feet. “When I looked at the plan for this, it appeared that the shape of the lot is creating a hardship for them,” said Dr. Krebser, meeting agreement from hia fellow commissioners. The commissioners also recommended issuance of a special use permit to Ashby Jenkins to rebuild the Pentecostal Church next door to the Aileen plant, conditional upon Health Department approval of a septic permit. The church burned earlier this year after being struck by lightning. At the start of the meeting, Planning Commission chairman A. Y. Stokes announced the resignation of David Thornhill, the commission’s representative from StonewallHawthom District. McDaniel Jewelers Sidewalk Sale 301 E.

Both fascinate me. And both are so similar. Roses require tremendous attention. They must be cared for, talked to, fed and watered regularly, and protected from foreign matter that would harm. All of which must be done with extreme care. You never hold a rose too tightly or its thorns will give painful notice of your indiscretion. You move about rose bushes with careful caution lest . they snag you. They demand room to grow and fulfill their purpose in life. And each rose bush has its own nature. You can perform all the proper acts of care and love, but the rose will be what its inward nature (its God-purpose) determines: a red rose will be a red rose; a yellow rose a yellow rose. You have absolutely no control over its nature (color). r In working with people that's the hardest lesson to learn. We can apply influence, give guidance, exert persuasion, but each person's individuality must be respected. His or her nature (God-purpose) must be allowed fulfillment. Refusing such freedom stunts people and kills roses. Copyright 1986 Keister Williams Newspaper Services, P 0 Box 8005. Charlottesville. VA.22906 COURTESY CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH-DODGE, Inc.

Laurie Brown, clinical coordinator of the program, believes that this approach is effective and necessary because all of these areas negatively affect women who have been abusing alcohol or other drugs. Lack of skills in these areas, as well as the physical disease of addiction itself, combine to keep women substance abusers from leading satisfying and fully productive lives. “Women have long been ignored as a population critically in need of treatment,” said Ms. Brown. “While there are at least as many women who abuse alcohol and other drugs as there are men, until recently women have been basically neglected in terms of what kinds of treatment are most suitable and available for them.” “Substance abuse and addiction, particularly in women, are often thought of as an urban problem,” she continued. “People picture the alcoholic and drug abusing woman as a poverty stricken uneducated female of the inner city. In fact, addiction occurs in the same proportion among educated and uneducated rural and city women.” Ms. Brown says that Alternatives has made every effort to remove the barriers which might interfere with any woman getting treatment. “The usual obstacles that woman may have to getting professional help, such as cost, babysitting, privacy and transportation, have been addressed in our program.” Ms. Brown is impressed with the fact that this planning district was one of those chosen to initiate such a program. She is enthusiastic about the cooperation she is receiving from doctors, personnel managers, the clergy and others, who she says “are in a position to be of help to women in the community who have substance abuse problems.” She has also been requested to speak to community groups in the five-county area and plans to hold monthly information seminars at the program site in Culpeper for all interested persons. To register or obtain additional confidential information about Alternatives, call 825-2137 or 825-4343. Parenting class set in Culpeper Parenting an infant can be confusing and frustrating at times. That’s why on August 12 Joanne Russell, RN, will present a two-hour seminar on general child care, with special emphasis on psycho-social development of the infant. The seminar is sponsored by Culpeper Memorial Hospital and Culpeper County Health Department. “Infants are very different from adults, not only in appearance, but in thinking and feeling. They have no patience or understanding, and their basic needs must be met in order for them to grow and develop trust,” said Ms. Russell. She encouraged participants to bring their babies with them to the seminar since the class will include instruction on how to address these basic needs. Ms. Russell plans to discuss not only feeding, napping, hygiene, and child safety, but also how to cope with the inner frustration that comes with parenting a newborn. The seminar is free of charge, and the public is invited to attend. It will be held in the Culpeper Memorial Hospital board room on Tuesday, August 12, from 2 to 4. Call the Community Relations department at 829-4307 to register. f'W WWW y T T T T T ’ : ADVERTISING : ; DEADLINES • ; LOCAL ► DISPLAY ► ADVERTISING i ► Rappahannock News Ads, ^ Tuesday, 12 noon y Combo Ads , y (one or more papers) < ^ Monday, 3 p.m. < ^ Real Estate Combo Ads < l Friday, 4 p.m. ► CLASSIFIED - ADVERTISING ' i ^ Rappahannock News 4 y Tuesday, 12 noon 4 < ► Horse & Farm 4 i Monday, 12 noon 4 [ < LCombo Classified Display4 L Monday, 3 p.m. 4 L < L Combo Word Ads 4 y Monday, 5 p.m. 4 - -

RAAC beats the heat with a pond-side picnic and annual meeting Members of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community celebrated another year of achievements with the group’s traditional annual meeting and pond-side picnic at Bill and Mitzie Young’s Castleton farm last Sunday. Those foresighted enough to bring bathing suits joined the youngsters splashing in the cool water, keeping both 90-plus temperature and humidity at bay. The picnic spread—a potluck collection of salads, fried chicken, home-baked breads, fruit and sweets— never even had time to wilt. Lines formed immediately to empty bowls and platters and then reformed for a second trip around three long tables that groaned under the weight of the feast. Outgoing president Frank Reynolds hit the high points of the past year, and incoming president Martin Woodard briefly outlined his goals for the next before the microphone was yielded to Dan Lewis amd his guitar for a set of country songs.

Many are getting nowhere, merely paying high rents year after year. They ought to have more than a roof over their heads. They should be building up some EQUITY. Many parents wish to help. One way to do this — and to help themselves (taxwise) — is by buying a house TOGETHER. Under the liberalized tax rules, this can work out nicely. Say you and your son or daughter share ownership on a fiftyfifty basis. As parent/investor you will be entitled to depreciation deductions for your half provided these conditions are met: one, the purchase is financed with a sharedequity mortgage; two, you each own an undivided half interest in the property; three, the house serves as the principal residence of your offspring; and four, you the parent/investor, receive a reasonable rent for your half. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747 Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help.

School DCrTmrMT rr,TT^ _ Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter RECIPIENT OF THE FIRST Spellman Memorial Scholarship, Phillip Taylor (left), is presented with a certificate by Dr. William H. McCoy, president of LFCC. Eugene Newman (center), chairman of the Education Foundation at LFCC, Patricia Saltonstall, chairman of the scholarship committee, and Columbus Greenlee assisted in the presentation. Spellman memorial scholarship presented to Edinburg boy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News staff writer In a “living memorial” to her slain farm manager, Patricia Saltonstall presented the first Ranee Spellman Memorial Scholarship last Sunday to Phillip Wayne Taylor, a 1986 graduate of Central High School in the Shenandoah Valley. The $1,500 will go towards Phillip’s tuition at Lord Fairfax Community College. The young man plans to major in agriculture for two years at the Middletown college before transferring to VPI in Blacksburg. He hopes to return to teach in the Shenandoah County schools which offer a “really, really big” agricultural program. Phillip has been a member of the Future Farmers of America for five years, progressing through the “green hand” and chapter ranks to win his FFA State Farmer degree, an achievement attained by only two percent of Virginia’s future farmers. “I had to work so many hours on a farm and do a certain number of agriculturally related projects plus demonstrate leadership by holding FFA offices and winning FFA contests,” he explained. His efforts centered primarily on sheep shearing and wool packing for a local farmer and helping with the garden at the Taylor family’s home in Edinburg where his father is pastor at one of the town’s churches. Young Taylor was also president of Central High School’s FFA club and vice-president of the FFA federation which encompasses 12 area high schools. Ms. Saltonstall, in presenting the scholarship with Lord Fairfax’s president and the college’s education foundation chairman, remembered Ranee Spellman, who was shot from his bulldozer and killed in a right-of-way dispute four years ago. She described him as “a man of contrasts, an enigma to this county,” someone who operated huge construction machinery with awesome skill yet was also ready to use draft horses and old fashioned farming equipment. “He preferred to work,” she said of her former farm manager at Points of View Farm. “I never saw a man who had so much fun at work, being outdoors with the animals, clearing the land, farming the land.” But he would leave a job for two or three weeks to give rabbits and birds time to rear their young and empty their nests, she said. “He was a fine marksman who hated to kill anything...even a snake.” Ms. Saltonstall cited Mr. Spellman’s “enormous honesty,” his “passionate commitment to directness” and added that he loathed gossip and meaness. As she handed Phillip Taylor the scholarship plaque, Ms. Saltonstall concluded: “I’m commited to seeing the truth of Ranee s life known — not embellished or revised.” Sport Fannons play host for benefit polo Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Fannon, Jr. invite sports enthusiasts and barbecue fans to Laurel Hill Farm in Castleton on Sunday, July 27, from 4 to 8 p.m. Those who accept the invitation will not only enjoy an afternoon of top notch horsemanship and good eating with dinner prepared by locally reknowned caterer Ed Gentry of Culpeper. They will also gain the satisfaction of knowing they’ve helped Hospices of the Rapidan, Inc., a volunteer organization ded icated to providing supplemental home care and support for the terminally ill and their families. Hospices of the Rapidan serves people in Orange, Madison, Culpeper and parts of Rappahannock. Volunteer Liz van Wombeck explained that other hospice groups from Warren and Fauquier counties also cover Rappahannock. “It just depends on who has a worker closest to the person who needs the help,” she said. This is only the second benefit held by Hospices of the Rapidan, which receives the major portion of its funding from United Way. “It’s a very informal affair, a ‘bring-yourown-chair,’ casual fund raiser,” Mrs. van Wambeck said. Invitations were mailed but, she said, the hospice organization has just a short list of Rappahannock patrons. “You don’t need an invitation to attend,” she emphasized. The admission charge is $25 per person for the barbecue and game featuring the Rappahannock Polo Club. For information call Sam or Pat Aitken at 399-1001.

These students, Sean Bennett of Boston, Stephen Butler of Hume, and Hank Sohn of Springfield, previously were among eight Wakefield juniors to achieve qualifying scores on the PSAT/National Merit Test administered last fall. The perfect math scores on the SAT place these three students in the top one-tenth of one percent of all college-bound students in the nation. When the verbal scores are added in, each of the students exceeded 1500 out of a possible score of 1600 on the examination.

Rappahannock J ournal ... _ ^ • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Governor asks emergency aid Governor Gerald L. Baliles requested last Thursday that U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Richard E. Lyng declare 17 Virginia counties a natural disaster area due to the prolonged drought. The 17 counties are Albemarle, Appomattox, Augusta, Buckingham, Campbell, Caroline, Carroll, Clarke, Fluvanna, Greene, Hanover, Lancaster, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange and Prince Edward. Crop losses in the 17 counties are estimated to be $61.5 million. Estimated crop losses are based on the projected crop yield under normal conditions. However, this may not be the actual dollar loss to farmers because many participated in the USDA’s Acreage Reduction Program and some farmers had participated in the Federal Crop Insurance Program. Crop and pasture land in those counties and many others are parched from the summer-long drought, and agricultural officials expect extremely low yields in major summer crops such as hay, corn, soybeans and tobacco. Baliles told the USDA Secretary that more than two-thirds of Virginia is in an extreme drought situation. He said the industry of agriculture is experiencing its most serious difficulties since the Great Depression. “Our farmers need all available help from state and federal agencies.” the Governor stated in his letter. “Therefore, I am requesting that you determine other actions the USDA may take to assist farmers, including livestock producers, with their hay and feed needs.” Requests from the Boards of Supervisors in 12 other counties have been received and the ASCS office has been asked to initiate the damage assessment reports. The Governor would act to have these counties declared as soon as the necessary information is received. Should Lyng approve the disaster requests, farmers in those counties would be eligible for lowinterest loans but must qualify on an individual basis. Virginia industry shows stability Over the last two decades Virginia’s industries have shown greater employment stability during major economic downturns than their national counterparts, according to a study conducted by Radford University economics professor Nozar Hashemzadeh. Hashemzadeh based his study on an assessment of employment stability of 26 major industrial groups for the period of 1960-1983. His research, which utilized a new methodology to rank industry stability, was published in the winter issue of The Virginia Social Science Journal. In Virginia, Hashemzadeh ranked federal government enterprise as number one, followed by medical and educational services and communication in third place. He said once a state determines which industries have the most employment stability, it should attract or subsidize those industries. “One reason Virginia is doing well relative to the rest of the nation is because of its proximity to the nation’s capital,” Hashemzadeh said. “Federal gov eminent is a major enterprise and Virginia is a beneficiary of the spillover of research, consulting and international interactions taking place in Washington, D.C.” Based on his research, the economics professor placed construction, lumber and wood products and mining among the least stable industries. “If a state attracts highly cyclical, unstable industries, then they will have periodic problems with unemployment,” he warned. If a state already has unstable industries, Hashemzadeh noted there are methods to help insulate the industries against business and seasonal cycles. For example, he said the mining industry could possibly be helped by developing an overseas market. Hashemzadeh noted studies which show that high levels of unemployment increase stress, suicide, divorce and crime rates. “Stable employment gives people pride and commitment and makes for a happier society,” he said.

Inc. 201 S East St 825-8371 Culpeppr FAC assesses drought Local members of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Agriculture Council (FAC) have been monitoring the drought situation in the area and have submitted damage assessment reports to the Governor’s office. FAC is comprised of representatives of Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service (SCS), Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), and U.S. Forest Service (FS). Local offices of the ASCS have been receiving inquiries as to the availability of special assistance programs to relieve the drought situation. For areas designated by the Secretary of Agriculture, assistance becomes available in the form of low interest loans through the Farmers Home Administration and through implementation of the Emergency Feed Assistance Program through ASCS. Many inquiries have been received regarding the purchase of hay or availability of hay, ASCS officials said. The program, however, does not provide hay. Eligible livestock producers who do not have enough feed on hand, and who have suffered at least a 50 percent loss in feed they normally produce on their farm, may be eligible to purchase corn from government supplies at a cost of $1.56 per bushel. The emergency feed assistance program has a 90-day feeding period, and only those producers who do not have a 90-day feed supply on hand (including hay and other feeds) will be eligible for the low cost corn. More information may be obtained from the local office of Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Trible urges quick action on declaration United States Senator Paul Trible has urged the Secretary of Agriculture to quickly approve a drought disaster declaration for Virginia, now that the Governor has asked for the declaration. In a letter to Secretary Richard Lyng, Trible said, “The drought stricken counties in Virginia are in desperate need of all available federal assistance. I would appreciate your providing assistance to Virginia’s fanners as quickly as possible.” The declaration asks that 17 counties be declared disaster areas because of the prolonged drought. Without a disaster declaration from the President, through the Secretary of Agriculture, farmers in drought-stricken counties are ineligible for federal emergency loan assistance. “Our farmers have been hardpressed and the drought is just the latest blow. I want to make sure the federal government is in a position to respond quickly and to provide much needed relief to our farm community,” Trible said. Chocolate can harm ‘man’s best friend’ Pet owners who give their dogs chocolate could be risking their pet’s health. Chocolate contains theobromine, which may have harmful effects on your dog’s heart, kidneys, or central nervous system. The effects of chocolate on your dog are about the same as those a person gets from heavy coffee drinking. Both chocolate and coffee increase heart rate and urination. Unsweetened chocolate contains much more of the toxic substance than sweetened chocolate. Just two and a quarter ounces of unsweetened chocolate can bring on toxic signs and possible death in a 22pound dog. Signs of chocolate poisoning are vomiting, depression and/or excitation, increased urination, muscle tremors, diarrhea and irregular heart beats. If chocolate poisoning is suspected, consult a veterinarian. Slaughter receives security award The highest award given by the bipartisan Coalition for Peace Through Strength was recently presented to Representative D. French Slaughter, Jr. (7th District, VA). The Culpeper Congressman received the 1986 National Security Leadership Award at a ceremony on Capitol Hill last Thursday. Slaughter received the award in recognition of his consistent voting record on 10 key defense and foreign policy votes. The award (a 14-inch alabaster eagle) was presented by senior leaders of the American Security Council, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Reserve Officers r Association, the American Legion Auxiliary and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. The Coalition for Peace Through Strength is a bipartisan alliance of 168 national organizations, and the largest pro-defense group in the nation. The American Security Council (ASC) serves as legislative coordinator for the Coalition. In presenting the award to Congressman Slaughter, ASC President John M. Fisher said: “French Slaughter not only has an outstanding voting record, but he has been in the legislative forefront on a countless number of defense and foreign policy issues.

WSA Continued from page 1 Virginia against a water and sewer authority,” Mr. Baumgardner reported. With or without public officials liability, he told the WSA members, “if you’re acting in good faith. . . without malice and within the scope of your authority, it is extremely unlikely in Virginia that a claimant would be able to reach your personal assets.” “But there are decisions this Authority will be dealing with that open the door a little bit to the Authority’s assets,” countered WSA member Bob Dennis. “We’re in a dispute right now with a contractor over whether he performed adequate work on time. We’ll have to vote soon on paying his bill.” ii me w oA pays tnis contractor, it’s possible that the Environmental Protection Agency, which supplied construction money for the Sperryville sewer system, may withhold grant funds, Mr. Dennis said. Then user rates for the sewer system would have to be increased to make up the loss, and a disgruntled customer could bring suit, he said. “There’s uncertainty over howT our sludge will be handled," Mr. Dennis continued, reporting that the WSA is now considering a contract with a private hauler “who would presumably have permission to spread the stuff—but not in Rappahannock (w hich has a moratorium on land application of sludge). It would have to be in another county. . .People sue all the time over landfills. It’s conceivable that someone could be sued for spreading Rappahannock County’s sludge,” he said, adding that the WSA may incur liability, should that happen. Public officials liability coverage probably will not be available from an independent insurance company until October or November, Mr. Baumgardner said. According to the state’s Division of Risk Management, a “pool” to provide public officials liability coverage is now being organized, added Mr. McCarthy. “But it won’t be in operation for at least 60 days.” “I‘m totally confused here. Do we have a problem or not?” asked WSA chairman Martin Woodard. “We don’t know,” Mr. Baumgardner replied, repeating that the board’s insurance consultant sees no problem in the WSA’s lack of public officials liability coverage. “Even though the risk is very little, is it fair to put the burden of the whole thing on the few people who are hooked up to the system in Sperryville?” asked Mr. Dennis. He noted that the WSA, if sued, does have the pow'er to raise user rates to bring in revenue to cover defense costs and would probably exercise that option in the absence of liability coverage. Mr. Woodard asked the supervisors for their reaction, adding that indemnity—even if only for defense costs—“would make the WSA members a little more comfortable in our role as public officials.” “This board is in the same position you all are in,” said chairman Hubert Gilkey. “We don’t know if you’re covered or not.” If the WSA is not included in the county’s public officials liability policy, Mr. Gilkey said he saw' no problem in indemnifying the Authority against the cost of defending a suit. “But I was under the impression that you all are covered—that only the Welfare Department is excluded.” Mr. McCarthy pointed out that Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, legal advisor to the board, advised that the supervisors couldn’t, by law, pay a judgement levied against the Authority, that they can only indemnify the Authority against defense costs. Supervisor Newbill Miller reminded his fellow board members of legal notice they’d received, announcing that the county’s public officals liability policy had been placed with a Chicago company. That leaves Rappahannock with no protection under Virginia law against default by the insurer due to insolvency, he noted. Should the Chicago company go bankrupt, the county may have to pay any claim lodged and upheld against it, Mr. Miller said. “The bottom line is that any in Lord Fairfax enrollment up Student enrollment of Lord Fairfax Community College continues to grow. Nearly 600 students registered for summer classes, an increase of 16 percent over last summer’s record of 505. During the last four registration periods the college has set three new enrollment records. Dr. William H. McCoy, president of the college, said the growing number of students is a result of more people using the college’s transfer program to begin their four-year degree and technical programs to upgrade job skills. Dr. McCoy said he expects Lord Fairfax to continue to be one of the fastest growing colleges in Virginia. surance policy is only as good as the assets of the insurer,” said Mr. Baumgardner, suggesting that the board ask its insurance consultant, Allen Thornton with Industrial Insurance Management Corporation in Richmond, to analyze the Chicago firm's financial condition. “The next three or four weeks will probably be the most critical time as far as decision making” on the Sperryville sewer project, said WSA member Carson Johnson, steering the conversation back to the Authority’s potential liability. “And we’re going to have tough decisions. This sort of leaves us out on a limb—not knowing if we are or are not covered.” ine Kina oi questions tnat must be answered in the coming weeks— wrho will be allowed to hook on to the system, who will be forced to hook on and what will done with the contractor’s bill—are decisions “that invite litigation,” noted Mr. Dennis. “We’re working against the clock. This project is supposed to be completed by July 24th,” said Mr. Johnson. “People have been coming to me with problems all week. We’re going to have to make decisions that some of them are not going to agree with,” he said, adding that the Authority members would rest easier with agreement from the supervisors to pay defense costs arising from any litigation. The three supervisors present at Thursday’s session—Mr. Miller, Mr. Gilkey and Charles Estes—voted unanimously to give that assurance, with the stipulation that the WSA’s defense in any suit be handled jointly by the Authority’s attorney, Douglas Baumgardner, and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, legal advisor to the board. Earlier in the meeting, the WSA approved a hook-up requested by John Eubank for a three-bedroom residence not shown on the approved plan for the sewer system. In addition, the Authority adopted an interim hook-up policy that will require Mr. Eubank and other Sperryville landowners who request inclusion in the system to pay user fees from the time that an individual septic tank and lines are installed and inspected. The Authority set no time limit on when Mr. Eubank must have his residence completed. “If the installation is in the ground, and he’s paying a user fee, it’s not our business to tell him how fast he has to build his house,” maintained WSA chairman Martin Woodard. Regulations preclude the Authority from reserving capacity in the sewage treatment system, he noted. “But Mr. Eubank is not reserving capacity. He’s paying for it,” said Mr. Woodard, reiterating the WSA’s policy on structures not included in the list of users for the collection and treatment system. “The only way we can do it is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and he’s first.” s l 9 » l 1 5 NUGGETSOFTRUTH § By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY l PASTOR S' $ Family Worship Center 9 Washington, Va. | GREETINGS, IN THE l NAME OF JESUS g Do you know that the name of Jesus is above every name that is named? (Eph. 1:21) In John 16:23, Jesus is speaking: “and in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.” So, according to Jesus' words you don’t pray to anyone except the Father God. But you must pray in Jesus’ name. The reason for this is without the blood of Jesus, you and I would still look like sin to God. But, praise His Holy Name, thru the precious blood of Jesus, God the Father sees us perfect as Jesus is perfect. Another point in successful praying is this: Jesus said men ought never to faint. Look at Luke 18:1 in the Amplified Bible; (this is simply the King James Bible amplified) “Also Jesus spoke to them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward, faint, lose heart and give up." I say, hold on with tenacity, like a bull dog. In Mark 11:24, Jesus speaking, “Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” When I pray for something to change, I only pray that prayer one time, then I stand fast that I have the answer, believing it is settled in heaven. Then I just thank Him for it in Jesus' name. You keep believing, and it will come. THAT’S FAITH. If we can help you in any way, please call, write or visit us at Family Worship Center. We are located in the old school building in Washington. 9 Robert Dunphy Ministries, Inc., | » Rt 1, Box 266 + Sperryville, Va 22740 | (phone 987-8505) Larimer Continued from page 1 Compton house. In testimony Friday, Tommy Grohs said that he was worried that Mrs. Compton might be hurt, and went inside, feigning concern for her safety. Mrs. Compton asked that he drive her to her niece’s home in Jeffersonton, and Grohs agreed. After Mrs. Compton left, Charles Larimer and Eastham reentered the house and stole a number of items, including several purses and a silver chest, according to Eastham’s testimony. They then drove back to the Larimer home and hid the loot under Susan Larimer’s bed. Eastham further testified that they used Miss Larimer’s room because she is a minor (she was 14 at the time) and that if they were caught she would get in less trouble. Eastham also testified that Mrs. Larimer had visited him and Chucky Larimer at a motel in Warrenton where they had gone to hide out after the police began investigating the burglary. He said that Mrs. Larimer advised them “that it was their first offense; that nothing would happen. She told us we could leave and stay away until things cool off.” Thomas Grohs’ testimony presented much of the same information as Eastham’s story. He said that when Eastham and the two Larimer children picked him up at the Amissville firehouse “Chucky said that he was tired of being broke,” and that his mother had suggested that they rob a house. Defense counsel H. Dudley Payne, Jr., concentrated his crossexamination on impeaching the testimony of Eastham and Grohs. He hammered away at the fact that both had changed their stories each time they were interviewed by the police. Both admitted under questioning that the original story which they told to Trooper H. A. Newlin and Rappahannock Sheriffs Deputy John Facchina was false. “I didn’t tell the truth . . . not much of it, if any. . . I told them the first things that came into my head,” Eastham admitted. He explained (in direct examination) that all of the conspirators had promised that “if anything happened they would go their separate ways and nobody knew anybody else.” In his cross-examination of Grohs, Mr. Payne elicited an admission that two charges against him had been dropped in exchange for his testimony, and that he had not implicated Mrs. Larimer until some days after the crime. Former Deputy John Facchina (now in State Police training) testified that both Eastham and Grohs told him in confidence shortly after the crime that Mrs. Larimer had knowledge of the burglary. However, on cross-examination by Mr. Payne Deputy Facchina acknowledged that Eastham had inquired about “making a deal” before he provided any information, and that neither Eastham nor Grohs had implicated Mrs. Larimer in their initial statements. The defense case centered on the testimony of two of Mrs. Larimer’s children, Charles, 18, and Susan, 15. According to Charles, the idea for the break-in came from Richie Eastham, as they drove around the I Buildina? I Paint ^ Lumber ffi Millwork ^ Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the By-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 Susan Larimer Amissville area smoking marijuana. In the car with the two young men was Charles’ (Chucky’s) sister Susan. “Richie suggested a B and E (breaking and entering). I told him it was a bad idea—he said ‘Come on.’ It was a mutual agreement between Richie and me to B and E Mrs. Compton’s house.” After leaving empty-handed the first time, Chucky Larimer testified that it was also Richie Eastham’s idea to reenter the house after Tommy Grohs had left with Mrs. Compton. Larimer testified that “nothing was said with my Mom at the house—the plan was hatched in the car. There was no conversation about the break-in. She didn’t know about it ’til the morning I was arrested. She broke into tears and said ‘What in the world is going on?’.” Larimer’s younger sister Susan corroborated his version of the evening’s events. Testimony placed Susan Larimer inside the house with Larimer and Eastham the first (unsuccessful) time they entered it; the second time Larimer and Eastham went inside she stayed outside with Mrs. Larimer’s car. “We didn’t tell (Mrs. Larimer) about the break-in— we were scared,” she said. Susan Larimer admitted to being the one who cut Mrs. Compton’s telephone cord with a pair of wirecutters supplied by Richie Eastham, according to her testimony. She also testified that the alcohol and marijuana allegedly consumed that night by the principals was supplied by Richie Eastham. Mrs. Larimer also took the stand in her own defense. She testified that she was “feeling poorly” that day. She said that she gave the children money to go bowling, and that they left the house about 8 or 8:30 p.m. Later Chucky came back and asked to borrow her car, explaining that Richie Eastham’s car was out of gas and that they had to take Tommy Grohs home. “I told him to be home early, and to leave some gas in the car because I had to go to work early,” Mrs. Larimer said. In response to questioning by Mr. Payne, Mrs. Larimer denied knowledge of any conversations about the break-in or about the children being stupid. She also denied going to the motel in Warrenton to talk to the two boys, as well as ever having seen the items recovered by the police which were taken in the break-in.

Larimer both Richie Eastham and Tommy Grohs, and that both spent a lot of time at the Larimer residence. She denied any knowledge of drug use by the teenagers. “I knew nothing about the break-in until March 10 when my son was arrested,” Mrs. Larimer stated. Commonwealth’s Attorney Luke presented three witnesses who offered rebuttal testimony alleging that Mrs. Larimer was present in the Larimer house when marijuana was smoked by the youngsters. Richie Eastham, his sister Edie, and Tommy Grohs all testified that Mrs. Larimer was present when her daughter Susan smoked marijuana. Miss Eastham said that “it was more than one time—she was open enough to smoke in front of adults.” On cross-examination, pressed by Mr. Payne to name a specific instance when Mrs. Larimer was present, Richie Eastham replied testily, “I don’t know a date.” Tommy Grohs insisted on cross-examination, “I have seen Mrs. Larimer smoke.” Called back to the stand, Mrs. Larimer was asked by her attorney: “Have you ever smoked (marijuana) in front of the kids?” “No sir,” was her firm reply. In his closing statement, Mr. Luke admitted that the case was a matter of “Eastham and Grohs telling it one way; Mrs. Larimer and her kids telling it another.” He admitted that the two had entered into plea agreements: “Sometimes we have to make a deal—I’m not trying to hide that.” But, he added, the Commonwealth had no evidence to implicate Mrs. Larimer until they came forward. He questioned their motive for lying in implicating Mrs. Larimer. Mr. Luke also acknowledged that the allegations against Mrs. Larimer were “bizarre, hard to believe, that a mother would have her children do something like this.” He insisted, however, that the very “bizarreness” of the circumstances tended to corroborate Eastham’s and Grohs’ version of the story. In summation for the defense, Mr. Payne stressed the fact that Eastham and Grohs had given several different versions of the events of February 28. He said that “no credible evidence was presented. This was a lark, not a well-planned crime. Their (Eastham and Grohs) biggest motive was a plea deal. Those kids could have said anybody—isn’t that the truth—that could have been anyone in that chair,” he said, pointing at the defendant. “The credibility of the witnesses is the most important consideration in your deliberations.” After deliberating about one hour and 15 minutes, the jury returned to the courtroom to announce that they had found Mrs. Larimer not guilty on both charges.
