At Monday’s board meeting, Supervisor Nelson Lane asked that attention be given to what he termed “a serious, severe problem in my district” — the problem posed by socalled “slob hunters” who trespass on posted property, shoot from roadways and otherwise intimidate landowners. Supervisor Lane stressed that he is not against hunting. “I’m not looking to damage good hunting. I just want to see this incredible abuse stopped. It’s a form of terrorism,” he maintained, reporting that “slob hunters” have fired at houses and run people off the road in his district. “But I don’t want to see (controls) get so restrictive that they interfere with the right to bear arms.” Mr. Lane told his fellow board members that he had appealed last year to the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries for help in combatting slob hunters, only to be reminded by the commissioners that the county has not adopted local ordinances designed to help control abuses. Specifically, the commissioners pointed to enabling legislation that allows a county to prohibit the carrying of a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle on a public right-of-way and the carrying of a loaded firearm on a right-of-way without written permission to hunt from landowners on both sides. (Both have been considered by the supervisors and voted down by the majority on two earlier occasions. ) Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke presented the board members with new copies at Monday’s meeting, noting that he was not advocating adoption but rather offering possibilities. “Hunting from the road is illegal,” he acknowledged. “But the problem is what constitutes hunting. How do you prove hunting?” Supervisor Charles Estes announced his opposition to the prohibition against carrying a loaded firearm without written permission to hunt from landowners on both sides of the road. A person could be carrying a firearm without any intention to hunt, he maintained. Cutting Rappahannock’s deer hunting season to correspond to the shorter season west of the Blue Ridge has been suggested as a means to combat hunting abuses, Mr. Lane noted. “But I don’t want to see our season shortened. I d like to see the others lengthened,” he said, maintaining that 80 percent of Rappahannock’s problem with “slob hunters” comes from the influx of hunters during the extended season here. Agreeing with Mr. Estes’ contention that Rappahannock already has an overpopulation of deer compounded by its proximity to Shenandoah National Park’s refuge, Mr. Lane called for a bigger bag limit for does. Most of the terrorism committed by “slob hunters” can be addressed through existing laws, Mr. Estes insisted, suggesting that victims swear out warrants so that the Commonwealth’s Attorney can prosecute criminal acts, such as forcing motorists off roads and firing into residences. “It’s difficult to get a conviction (on many hunting violations),” countered Mr. Luke. “Slob hunters” can ride the back roads at 10 miles per hour, “their pick-up trucks filled with an arsenal of loaded guns,” but to prove that they’re hunting, someone must see them actually shoot, he said. “Who’s going to be stupid enough to fire when the game warden or anybody else is looking?” he asked. The enabling legislation cited by the Game Commissioners “is designed to give our law enforcement officials some tools,” Mr. Luke added. Stopping short of an unqualified endorsement of the “hunter control” legislation suggested by the commissioners, Mr. Lane still insisted that the board owes it to the people in his district to improve the situation, “to put a dent in slob hunting.” “I think you’re grabbing at a way of stopping this that doesn’t exist,” Supervisor Newbill Miller responded. Local ordinances controlling the carrying of loaded firearms on roads won’t help, he maintained. “Slob hunters” will still cruise the county’s back roads with loaded guns; they’ll just keep in a single shell and if spotted by the game warden, they’ll “drive 10 miles an hour with their signal on until they eject the shell,” Mr. Miller said. “We’ve just got too many deer, and that’s our problem,” Supervisor Estes repeated. Tabling the issue until the board’s September session, Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked his fellow supervisors to consider what they want to ask of the Game Commissioners, who regulate season length, bag limit and hunting deer with dogs. “Maybe at our next meeting we can come up with something to go to Richmond with,” he concluded. SPECTATORS at the Flint Hill firemen’s parade (1. to r.) Michael Seymour, Ronald Walter, Rappahannock News photos/Greg Turner Lisa Pullen and Hollie Seymour. Flint Hill Carnival is big success By GREG TURNER Rappahannock News Staff Writer What do coons hollering and Miss Virginia have in common? No, they’re not both from Chester Gap, but they were both part, of the 30th' annual Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s parade held last Thursday evening. Riding atop a convertible, Julianne Smith, this year’s Miss Virginia, cruised down Main Street waving to the crowd. Her car stopped in front of the judges’ stand and she was escorted to her seat. “I had a really good time and met some very nice people,” Miss Smith said after the parade. Maurice “Mo” Walker, chairman of the parade committee for the past 12 years, has arranged for Miss Virginia to lead the parade since 1964. The weather cooperated, the turnout for the parade was excellent and everybody seemed to have a good time at the event. Clowns throwing candy, grown men in funny toy cars and an endless line of fire trucks and rescue squad vehicles with sirens wailing added to the festive atmosphere. More than 125 units from fire departments in Virginia and Maryland and a variety of floats participated in the hourlong parade. “This is the best year yet,” Mr. Walker said, attributing the parade’s success to the fact that “we’ve got a good reputation and we spend a lot of money for trophies and stuffed animals — we try to provide something for all age groups.” The parade went off smoothly, but the situation beforehand was a different story. “We were really strapped (the FHVFD) for manpower before the parade due to the fire in Flint Hill — but we were able to pull it off,” said Frank Huff, Jr., chief of Company 4. He added that there was a rescue call just before the parade and an apparent heart attack victim on the parade route was transported to Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. “The rescue squad made it back just in time for line-up.” One of the main attractions at the carnival was the “ultimate dunk tank” borrowed from tbe Front Royal Volunteer Fire Department. Miss Rappahannock, Cheryl Romaine, and Elaine McCabe took turns on the swing above the water and provided the bait for the throwers. Their attempts were accompanied by wisecracks from the announcer on every toss. The Chevrolet Chevette, auctioned off every year by the Fire Department, was won by E. J. Pullen, Jr. of Warrenton. Other prizes were a registered Black Angus donated by Admiral Josef Gardner, won by Bill Dainty of Front Royal. The Redskins’ season tickets went to Jerry Payne of Washington; a set of living room furniture was won by Jackie Bottash of Arlington; the handmade quilt went to Cecil Armstrong of Sperryville and the fire chiefs car decanter was won by Eddy and Lisa Burke, also of Sperry ville. Mr. Huff added that due to new slate regulations the carnival grounds’ entire wiring system, had to be reworked and the individuals involved gave up some of their weekends to get the project completed. “They deserve a special thanks.” Mr. Walker also expressed his thanks to everyone who donated their time and effort in making the parade and carnival exciting and successful. He extended a special thanks to all the people who supported the events. Mr. Walker concluded, “If you missed us this year, we look forward to seeing you next year.” Parade winners were: 11316201Best Appearing Fire Company (towns over 500 pop.): Spotsylvania. Best Appearing Fire Company Continued on page 10 Pound lease approved The supervisors approved a lease with Fauquier kennel owner John Klein on Monday, apparently negating a suit brought by the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies against the county for failure to provide animal shelter facilities that meet state specification a The kennel has been inspected and approved by the state veterinarian. Under terms of the lease agreement, the county will pay Mr. Klein $5 per day per dog to house Rappahannock’s strays. Animals unclaimed after five days will be picked up by the dog warden for disposal in the state-approved gas chambers on his farm near Washington. The supervisors have indicated that they want eventually to locate the pound at a yet unspecified landfill site, using a structure built last year by students at Piedmont Vocational Continued on page 16 Board denies exception, defers second decision By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the possibility of legal challenge from both sides, the Rappahannock supervisors took “under advisement” a request for a subdivision ordinance exception from Oscar and Stella Lozano. The announcement came after a long executive session at Monday’s board meeting to discuss potential litigation with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and zoning administrator John McCarthy. Under prodding from David Konick, the attorney representing landowners opposed to the exception request, Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey agreed to alert all parties before action is taken. “As soon as we feel we can resolve the situation, we’ll let you know in plenty of time,” Mr. Gilkey promised. At issue is a 25.75-acre parcel sold by Lindgren Land Inc. to the Lozanos in July 1978, as two 12-plus acre lots, an apparently illegal subdivision since the land from which the parcel was cut had been previously divided. The adjoining landowners, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Hall, petitioned the board to vacate the original plat approved by then zoning administrator Evan McNear. (The petition came after Judge Shore Robertson ruled that the Halls had not exhausted all administrative remedies before seeking to have the allegedly illegal subdivision overturned by the Circuit Court.) The board denied the Halls’ request to vacate the subdivision plat, and subsequently the Lozanos asked the supervisors for an exception to Continued on page 4 Board moves on handicapped access By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors began a race against time Monday, and at risk is the county’s federal revenue sharing money which last year amounted to more than $41,000. Deadline for compliance with regulations for handicapped access to public buildings is mid-October, reported zoning administrator John McCarthy. “I don’t see how we can meet that,” he said, referring to the courthouse where a flight of steps to the upstairs courtroom presents a barrier to handicapped people in attending meetings of local government and sessions of court. For the rest of Rappahannock’s public buildings, either the buildings themselves are accessible or the services provided there can be carried to the handicapped person, according to Mr. McCarthy. Even with the courtroom, local government meetings could be “carried” downstairs by video camera; however, Virginia law does not permit that to be done with court functions, he explained. He recommended that a committee be appointed to begin progress toward bringing the courthouse into compliance. At least authorize the committee to contact architects specializing in handicapped design for alternatives and rough cost projections, Mr. McCarthy advised. Even if work begins immediately, “we’re going to need that theater (the Gay Street Theater, which is handicapped accessible and where government meetings were held during recent cosmetic renovations to the upstairs courtroom). We’re not going to be ready by that October 13 deadline.” “Do you think the judge is going to move over there?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “What happens if we’re not in compliance is that we’ll lose our revenue sharing funds,” said Mr. McCarthy, estimating that the figure will amount to “30-some thousand” this fiscal year. He confirmed that the total is earmarked for the county’s public schools. “So if somebody raises the issue, they’ll take it away from the public schools?” asked Supervisor Miller. The issue doesn’t even have to be raised, countered the zoning administrator, adding that a representative from the department charged with enforcement of handicapped access regulations will check the county for compliance, come that October deadline. “Now that a grievance has been filed, it’s set machinery in motipn,” he said, referring to a grievance lodged last month over the lack of handicapped access. “At least appoint a committee and give them the authority to contact consultants and bring estimates back to you,” said Mr. McCarthy when the supervisors balked at allowing money to be expended without their specific approval. He noted that revenue sharing funds are disbursed on a quarterly basis. If the county is moving towards compliance, the revenue sharing money might be held in escrow and then reContinued on page 16 Task force issues drought update A bi-weekly update issued by the Virginia Drought Monitoring Task Force reports that Virginia is experiencing “drought conditions that are similar to the 1930’s drought.” It states that “a total of 49 jurisdictions have requested assistance from the Governor to be declared a disaster area.” The report observes that the recent pattern of severe thunderstorms is providing beneficial moisture to some areas, “but the storms are extremely spotty with downpours of two to three inches common over small areas.” Those storms, it continues, will help to restore a nearnormal rainfall pattern and “help to moderate the drought conditions. but not end it.” Rainfall accumulations for the year monitored statewide showed variations from normal of between -4.66 inches (Bristol) and -10.21 (Danville). Norfolk and Danville showed the least actual rainfall in the state, and had the greatest deviation from normal. The task force also reported readings from a statistical model called the Palmer Drought Severity Index, which indicates prolonged wet or dry conditions over a large area in terms of a variation from zero, or normal. Numbers above minus four are considered “extreme drought”. The Tidewater (-4.59), Eastern Piedmont (-4.30) and Western Piedmont (-5.35) all scored in the “extreme drought" range. The Northern, Central Mountain and Southwestern Mountain regions all scored between minus three and four, indicating “severe drought”. The state composite index on the Palmer scale was -4.17, which is in the “extreme” range. The report pessimistically adds that “no significant change in the Palmer Drought Index can be expected until the late fall when recharge rains or some tropical storms come to the state.” The State Climatologist predicted that “scattered thunderstorms will remain our primary source of moisture for the near term.” There is some hope, per haps, in three observations from the climatologist: • “the most likely time for the Palmer Index to change sign is in late fall . . . one would expect precipitation to change . . . sometime before that. ” • The extended outlook from the National Weather Service is for “about normal" precipitation in the period July through September. The accuracy of that prediction is in the 55 to 60 percent range. • A rainfall model used by the University of Virginia and based Cont inued on page 4

Supervisors bump building fees, appoint assessors, litter chief In dealing with housekeeping items on the agenda for Monday’s board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors adopted a new building permit fee schedule designed to bring in enough revenue to cover operation of the building inspection program. The permit charge for a single family, owner-occupied dwelling will go from five to six cents per square foot; commercial, industrial, rental property, religious, institutional and recreational structures from, seven to eight cents per square foot. Those and other adjustments to fees for remodeling, additions and accessory buildings will mean an increase of only a dollar or two to the average building permit, according to inspector Emil Smet. He acknowledged, however, that state regulations have upped the number of inspections required from three to as many as nine, “depending on the size and the complexity of the dwelling.” He said it’s difficult to project the revenue that the new fee schedule will produce. “This year, we’re having a building boom,” Mr. Smet noted, adding that his office is backed up a week in handling inspection requests. “Next year, it might be a totally different picture.” He described the revised fees as “more or less in line with the surrounding counties, some a little higher, some a little less,” the differences ranging from a half-cent to one cent. “We still have quite a few building permits below $100,” he assured the supervisors. Should the new fee schedule generate revenues in excess of operating expenses for the building inspector’s office, the extra should be carried over and held in abeyance — “at least in the minds of the board members”— to cover shortfalls dur ing building slumps, proposed John McCarthy, administrative assistant to the supervisors. The county is scheduled to begin a general reassessment of real estate this year. To serve on a Board of Assessors which will work with a professional appraiser, the supervisors named James D. DeBergh, Jr., from Hampton District, James Leake from Piedmont and E. P. Luke from Stonewall-Hawthom. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey said he will have a recommendation on an assessor from Wakefield District at the board’s next meeting. Supervisor J. R. Latham of Jackson District was not present on Monday. To fill the vacancy left by the resignation of David Thornhill, the supervisors appointed Robert Anderson as the Stonewall-Hawthom representative on the county’s Planning Commission. Mi-. McCarthy was named Rappahannock’s Litter Control Coordinator and member of a committee which will initiate application for a $3,000 litter control grant from the state. David Chuse of Castleton is also on the committee, and the Rappahannock County Garden Club will be asked to suggest a third member from its ranks. Preliminary indication is that the grant funds will be used to clean up illegal dump sites. Supervisors Lane, Miller and Estes huddled over a list of the county’s delinquent taxpayers. However, the board agreed by consensus to follow past practice and withhold the list from paid publication. After a short executive session for personnel, Supervisor Miller announced that the board had taken action to equalize salaries for deputies to the county treasurer and commissioner of revenue. Trible opposes second site “In this time of budget deficits, we do not need to spend more than $5 billion to select a second nuclear site which is unnecessary,” Senator Paul Trible stated. Last month, Energy Secretary Herrington announced the Department of Energy would not continue to search for a second nuclear waste site. That is good news for Virginia, the Senator Said. “The Secretary’s decision was a wise one. Now it is time to finally JOHN MICHAEL’S 1 I BEAUTY SALON ► Announces ► their “Top of the Line” Permanents Are Always < > $30.00 * includes cut & styling ► Open 6 days til 9 p.m. > And never.. . any waiting ' > Call for appointment ' ► 703-635-4435 < > ANYTIME ’ Nexxus Products In Stock . * Harmony Hollow , put tnat issue to rest. That is why I am supporting legislation to remove all funding for a site that is unnecessary and unneeded. This will save taxpayers $5 billion over the next seven years. . That is money that we can use for more important purposes,” Sen. Trible concluded. Trible blasts drug problem The recent deaths? of star athletes have dramatized the danger of drugs. The problem of drug abuse is one of our nation’s most serious social problems, Senator Paul Trible said recently. “We are at risk of losing an entire generation to drug and alcohol abuse. The drug abuse rate among America’s youth is the highest of any developed country in the world. Two-thirds of all children will have tried an illicit drug before they finish high school, and more than one-third will have used a drug more powerful than marijuana,” he added. The amount spent on illicit drugs in the United States now exceeds $80 billion per year. “In addition, the link between drug abuse and crime is a real and growing danger to the safety of all Americans,” the Senator stated. The federal and state governments have responded by increasing the penalties and prison sentences of drug traffickers. And in Bolivia, American troops are taking action to crush the international drug trade. “But we must do more. Education programs must be strengthened, law enforcement must be increased, and we must — as a society — seek to remove the glamour that surrounds drug use. There is no glamour in death,” Senator Trible concluded. Slaughter plans drought relief Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. met with Senator Warner, members of Virginia Farm Bureau administration, farmers, and representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USD A) Drought Task Force in Albemarle County to discuss the coordination of federal-state drought relief efforts in Virginia. It has been determined that seven counties in the Seventh District of Virginia qualify for natural disaster relief, and nine other Seventh District counties may qualify for some disaster relief. Farmers in counties that have been placed on the emergency disaster list are entitled to lower than market prices on livestock feed, low interest loans and possibly loan payment deferrals on a case-by-case basis. msnzTKTKnxrcni nsireTia itBIBIfalfatbliaiaiBUaUgUgIBCgDflI&iamiMiaUalkiimaUfliaiBiaijflUaiMIHI The Board of Directors and members of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department extend our sympathy to the family of Mr. L.

Fire destroys Ranker house By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer A late afternoon blaze gutted the home of Jack L. and Linda Ranker on Rt. 659 last Thursday. According to Flint Hill F’ire Chief Frank Huff, Jr., the house “was fully involved when the first truck arrived. The floors had col lapsed.” Chief Huff said that all the fire fighters could do was try to save what was left of the frame of the house. Mrs. Ranker said that she was out in her garden with her youngest daughter Sarah, 2. “I thought my neighbor was burning trash. Then I saw smoke from the kitchen, so 1 went inside. The kitchen wall was on fire — I couldn’t get the fire extin guisher from where I keep it — the cabinet was in flames. I ran into the living room and told Rebecca (.her older daughter) to go to the car. I went back outside, grabbed Sarah and went for help.” Chief Huff said that the part of the kitchen which Mrs. Ranker said was burning had electric wires between the walls, “and wiring is suspected as being the cause of the lire." Mr. Huff'added that the house was of a type known as “balloon construction” with a natural chimney between the walls which extends up into the attic. “Eight out of ten times, if the walls are involved the fire extends up into the attic and across the house from above,” he said, explaining how the structure burned so quickly. “The superheated gas and smoke which rises and col lects in the attic ‘lights off and flashes across the entire space of the attic.” Chief Huff added that the attic could have been involved when Mrs. Ranker first noticed smoke from the kitchen. “There was no way we could use an interior attack on this fire. The loss of a home is a big enough tragedy. It’s not worth the risk of fire fighters’ lives for something which was 90 percent destroyed already.” Despite the efforts of volunteers from Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill, Chester Gap and two fire fighters from Salem Volunteer Fire Department m Culpeper County, nothing but a bare shell remained of the wooden structure. No one was injured in the blaze. Cf)i &appat)annocfe news staff wants to hear your stori; ideas. Call the news room today with your suggestions and news tips.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. V___ THURSDAY, AUGUST 7,1986 A On the brink of chaos? By WILLIAM B. SPONG, JR. Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On the eve of a national celebration of the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution, all Virginians can take pride in the leadership and political genius displayed by their forebears in fashioning such a magnificent and enduring document, described by William Blackstone as . .the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man. . .” Yet, perhaps unwittingly, there has been put into motion a process that could change fundamentally the contract of liberty and freedom that has guided our nation since 1787 — a process that could bring about the first constitutional convention in 200 years. Article V of the Constitution sets forth two procedures for amending the Constitution. The traditional method, used since the beginning of the republic, empowers Congress to submit an amendment to the states for ratification by a three-fourths vote. This has proved to be a responsive and orderly procedure. The second method requires twothirds of the states to petition Congress for a constitutional convention. This route has never been employed in our history. Today, 32 of the required 34 states have petitioned Congress for a convention for a balanced budget amendment. The Old Dominion was the 13th state to join the bandwagon, with passage of House Joint Resolution 168 on March 3, 1977. Unquestionably, the appeal of a balanced budget, particularly at a time when our national debt is of frightening proportion, is too great for its adherents to look beyond that limited goal when petitioning for a constitutional convention. Many who support a balanced budget amendment understand the dangers inherent in a constitutional convention. Melvin R. Laird, former Secretary of Defense, has stated: “The concept that a constitutional convention would be harmless is not conservative, moderate or liberal philosophy. That concept is profoundly radical, born either of naivete or the opportunistic thought that the end justifies any means.” Or, as James Madison, a Virginian who had much to do with creation of the Constitution, put it, “Having witnessed the difficulties and dangers experienced by the first Convention which assembled under every propitious circumstance, I should tremble for the result of a Second. . .” It is doubtful that a modern day convention could be limited to a single issue. There is no guarantee that, once the delegates are convened, Pandora’s box would not be opened by single issue and special interest groups, placing at risk all of the language of our Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. Any amendments considered and passed by such a convention would be forwarded to the states for ratification. Proponents of a convention assure us that it could be limited to a single issue by saying the state legislatures have called for a convention for the sole purpose of drafting a balanced budget amendment. Yet, the convention of 1787 was called “for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation.” As we know, the convention discarded the Articles of Confederation and drafted the Constitution, despite its limited mandate. Former Supreme Court Justice VIRGINIA FORUM Arthur Goldberg said: “History has established that the Philadelphia Convention was a success, but it cannot be denied that it broke the restraints intended to limit its power and agenda. Logic therefore compels one conclusion: Any claim that the Congress could, by statute, limit a convention’s agenda is pure speculation. Any such ‘procedures legislation’ might well be unconstitutional and would almost certainly be unenforceable.” Should there be a constitutional convention that exceeded its stated, limited purpose and voted several amendments, could Congress declare the amendments invalid? No one knows, but it is not overly apprehensive to envision confrontation and possible chaos. Nor can there be assurance that delegates would be selected for their views only on the limited purpose, possibly putting at risk the maintenance of those fundamental American values that, thus far, have protected our citizens from totalitarian government. Public support for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget is shrinking. A recent Gallup poll indicated that less than half the population supports this method of balancing the federal budget. The balanced budget amendment was recently defeated in the U.S. Senate. Supporters of the amendment, who are using the threat of a constitutional convention to force Congressional approval of the measure, have vowed to intensify their efforts at the state level. It is hoped that a number of legislators are coming to the realization that a constitutional convention could spark a constitutional crisis. They should understand, as former defense secretary Laird points out, that a convention would deeply disturb our allies and send our foes the message that our government is unstable. State legislators should realize that their petitions are not general resolutions without real consequences. In one sense, past actions are understandable. Incredibly, over one-half of the states calling for a convention have done so without the benefit of public hearings, debate or recorded vote. Many state legislators believed they were voting for a balanced budget amendment instead of a constitutional convention. What can we in Virginia do to avert this impending crisis? We can ask our legislators to consider withdrawal of an ill-advised petition action before the required two-thirds vote is reached to avoid just the kinds of constitutional chaos that now loom. Reasonable people can disagree about how to control federal spending and the merits of a constitutional amendment to achieve a balanced budget. However, it is not reasonable to hold the Constitution hostage for the latter purpose.

In a special meeting last Wednesday, zoning administrator John McCarthy advised that to accede to the Lozanos’ request, the supervisors would have to approve: (1) an administratively authorized subdivision of more than five lots (the ordinance limits administratively approved subdivisions to five lots; if more than five lots are to be created, the land must first be rezoned to residential subdivision), (2) two exceptions for lots less than 25 acres to be served by a road with a right-of-w'ay of less than 50 feet, (3) an exception to the requirement that a preliminary plat be submitted to the Planning Commission. At last week’s special meeting, the board members conceded that a legal challenge appeared likely, whether they approved or denied the Lozanos’ request for exceptions to the county’s subdivision regulations. Appearances didn’t change at Monday’s meeting, as attorneys for both sides continued the argument. Elliott DeJarnette reminded the supervisors that his clients thought they were buying two validly subdivided parcels of land since the plat carried the approving signature of the county’s agent. He asked that the exception request be granted on hardship grounds, contending that the Lozanos have been “paying higher taxes on two pieces of property.” If the original subdivision is vacated, turning the two lots back into one lot, the Lozanos’ land will decrease in value since “they can’t sell it for two single family residences .". . the use they contemplated when they bought it in 1978,” Mr. DeJarnette said. The county’s subdivision “ordinance was drawn to allow problems like this to be cor rected,” he concluded. Mr. Konick acknowledged that the board was faced with a “touchy situation” in deciding what the remedy should be when a subdivision plat is “unlawfully or erroneously approved due to human error or for whatever reason.” He asked the supervisors to determine what their decisiort would be if the plat was being submitted for original approval rather than revalidation. The Lozanos have shown no legal hardship, only that they can’t sell their property as the two lots they thought they had purchased, the attorney pointed out. “That may be a financial burden to them but that is not a hardship.” Although a former zoning administrator stamped the original plat approved, the Lozanos should have been aware that it violated county ordinances, Mr. Konick maintained. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse,” he said. He cited a recent case in which Blacksburg’s zoning administrator issued a building permit for a car wash. After the building was finished, neighboring landowners contested the granting of an occupancy permit, arguing that setback regulations had been violated and seeking to have the building torn down. The local court upheld the car wash owners, but upon review, the Virginia Supreme Court reversed the decision. The high court held that the car wash iwners “were not entitled to rely on an invalid approval,” Mr. Konick reported. “The court said they should have known. They can read the ordinance, too.” Even if the board is inclined to grant the Lozanos’ request for an exception to the subdivision process, it must follow’ the precedent it established in a Flint Hill case and first vacate the original subdivision, Mr. Konick continued. And if the original erroneous approval is disregarded, no reason exists to waive the ordinance’s requirements, he argued. If the su pervisors allow the Lozanos to subdivide into smaller than 25-acre lots on a right-of-way less than 50 feet, then that same approval must be accorded to other county landowners, Mr. Konick said. “There’s nothing remarkable, unusual or exceptional about this lot’s topography to justify an exception to one of the key provisions of Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance,” he said, calling the 50-foot right-of-way requirement “the cornerstone of our subdivision ordinance.” That ordinance has protected the county from unwarranted and haphazard growth, Mr. Konick continued. “If you undermine that 50-foot road requirement, I don’t think you’ll have much subdivision ordinance left,” he warned. Should the supervisors okay the exception requests, it will be “the same old Rappahannock story” as perceived by the general public, Mr. Konick said. “Do whatever you want and if you get caught,-then apply for permission . . . That’s exactly the message that this board will be sending,” he maintained, calling on the supervisors to either enforce the ordinance or change it. Lorraine Robson reminded the supervisors that when she purchased land in the county in 1984, she had been required to buy an additional five acres to meet the 25acre minimum for lots on less than a 50-foot right-of-way. She recalled that she’d pleaded financial hardship but had been denied an exception by the board. “I needed that five acres like a hole in the head. I’ve never seen it. I can’t even reach it.” Should the Lozanos’ request for that same hardship exception be approved, “I will come back before you for an exception so I can give back these five acres I don’t need and don’t want,” Mrs. Robson said. The supervisors offered no comments and asked no questions, either before or after their two-hour Status Continued from page 1 on information different from that used by the Weather Service “indicates above normal values, with the most likely time for turnaround in the late summer or early fall.” This model has a prediction accuracy of 57 to 62 percent. The climatologist’s office adds that “while the individual confidence values are low — this is the nature of long-range forecasts —the fact that the three units of information are independent adds some additional credence. However, we emphasize that the confidence is sufficiently low so that localities should continue to monitor their situation carefully and to continue with drought contingency plans.” The task force reported that the Suffolk and Chesapeake city water systems in the Tidewater are below 40 percent of normal capacity. The chloride level in the Northwest River was four times the recommended maximum level, and the sodium level was twice the recommended level for persons on restricted sodium diets. The city has opened emergency sodium-free water distribution stations. Voluntary water-use restrictions have been instituted in many other municipalities. Statewide agriculture reports varied, according to the update. Corn was reported very poor except in the southwestern mountains. Some farmers have begun to graze livestock on or “green chop’’ their corn fields. Pastureland and hay conditions are “dismal”. The report notes that many farmers are feeding scarce hay to livestock or “were forced ... to sell livestock because of inadequate pastures.” Apples and peaches were said to be in “fair to good condition (although) the fruit has sized small due to the lack of moisture.” According to the drought update, information from the Geological Survey indicates that streamflows from all but two monitoring stations in the state report “flows in the lower 25 percent of historical monthly flows for J uly. ” The flows were highest in the area west of the Blue Ridge and showed the greatest deviation (low est) in the southern and southeastern regions, which are reporting the lowest flows since 1966. The average streamflow for the state was 42 percent of normal, down one percent from June, and down significantly from the 71 percent of normal reported for July 1985. Ground water levels at three monitoring stations were below normal but had not yet set any records through the end of June. The update said that while “no algae blooms have been reported, they can be expected as the drought continues.” It adds that fish kills from low dissolved oxygen levels have been observed. The report is the product of information compiled by the National Weather Service, U. S. Geological Survey, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Virginia Department of Health, Virginia Water Control Board, Virginia Division of Forestry and the Office of the State Climatologist. It is distributed to the Emergency Services Coordinator in each county. closed session for pending litigation and contracts (the second item pertaining to a landfill). Returning to open session, Chairman Gilkey announced that the Lozano case would be taken under advisement. He indicated that a decision will be reached by the board before the 60-day time limit for preliminary plat approval expires October 1. An exception request from J. T. Woodward was denied. Mr. Woodward had asked for administrative approval for the division of a sixth lot from a parcel originally 116 acres (five previous subdivisions had reduced it to 79.2 acres). The lot he proposed to create would have been 24.017 acres on a less than 50-foot right-of-way. In addition, he would have had 220 feet of road frontage, under the 250 feet required by the ordinance. “It really pains me to do this,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller, offering the motion to deny Mr. Woodward’s request. “But you see the problems created from exceptions,” he added, meeting with unanimous agreement that Mr. Woodward be required to comply with the subdivision ordinance’s requirement for 25acre lots on rights-of-way less than 50 feet. In the only other zoning matter taken up at Monday’s meeting, the supervisors confirmed that the zoning ordinance endorsed and forwarded by the Planning Commission over a year ago will be adopted without additional public hearings. Changes to the Planning Commission’s version have been minor, they agreed. “The board is free to have another public hearing,” advised Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. “But it is not required, even if substantial changes have been made.” Copies of the proposed ordinance , may be reviewed at either the | clerk’s or the zoning administrator’s ' office and purchased at the treasu- •; rer’s office. .; Toll-free number established for road problems ; Beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, Au- ^ gust 11, citizens can report highway maintenance or safety hazards to the ; Virginia Department of Highways ^ and Transportation simply by dialing 1-800-376-ROAD. “This new toll-free highway helpline makes the department more accessible and promotes a team effort with the public to keep Virginia’s roads in the best shape possible,” said Commissioner Ray D.

Trible supports drought aid United States Senator Paul Trible recently co-sponsored an amendment to provide assistance to Virginia’s drought-stricken farm community. “Virginia farmers face the worst drought disaster in over a century. While it is too early to put a dollar value on the Virginia crop and livestock loss, it is estimated that the entire Southeastern region crop loss is more than $2 billion. We continue to see record setting temperatures and I know the losses will continue to rise. “That is why I am supporting legislation to provide desperately needed assistance to our hardpressed farmers,” Trible said. The legislation will allow the Secretary of Agriculture to give surplus crops held by the Commodity Credit Corporation to farmers who suffer losses during the 1986 drought. The Secretary will provide at least 75 percent of what the farmer would have received with an average crop during a normal growing season. In addition, the amendment lowers feed prices for livestock and poultry to 40 percent of the surplus price. “The Secretary has announced that 54 Virginia counties are eligible for emergency help through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That help is useful. “However, making loans available to a farmer already deep in debt only compounds a farmer’s problem. “This amendment will make the emergency relief more equitable. The federal government is storing more than 1.5 billion bushels of com with storage costs of $600 million a year. We should provide this surplus to those farmers who are in dire need of it. “This is a chance for the government to save on storage costs, relieve the burden of huge surpluses and help those feeling the worst disaster since the Depression. “We help other countries through disaster, we help communities through disasters, it is our duty to help farmers through this disaster,” Trible said. faCiory \ce^ atesi Utectf' aecW'Sf' t U«,P $pac'°uS V»l fjfide**1 ¥oatn U»s' suVatt^ fpchshc i t 201 S SWAN’S SALES AND SERVICE J.A.

On Fainting is a common problem By DR. ED OVERHOLT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer One of the most common problems that I see among children, and particularly teenagers, is fainting and dizziness. Fainting or “syncope” occurs slightly more often in girls than boys. All types of dizziness or fainting are caused by a change in the normal blood supply to the brain. While this sounds very frightening and dangerous, the majority of these episodes are not serious and do not suggest a hidden underlying problem. The most common type of fainting is brought on by a number of factors which give the feeling of threat without escape. This threat can be real or imaginary. Pain, the sight of blood, hunger, excitement, overheating, or even being in a crowd can bring on this feeling of threat. Once the response is triggered, the nervous system causes many changes, including yawning, rapid breathing, slow pulse rate and a fall in blood pressure. All these changes will cause a decrease in the normal blood supply to the brain and a feeling of dizziness. Unconsciousness, or fainting, will occur if nothing is done to alter this condition. This, the most common type of faint, does not require treatment. If it becomes a recurrent problem for your child, your doctor may advise avoidance of activities known to trigger a fainting episode. Incidents require medical attention include: • Fainting at age less than 5 years old. • Fluid loss from repeated vomiting or diarrhea accompanied by fainting when sitting or standing. • Complaints of dizziness or fainting when there are other serious health problems. • Faints and dizziness which become frequent or cause injury. Dr. Ed Overholt is a children's heart specialist on the staff of the Children’s Medical Center at the University of Virginia Medical Center.

Puppets with Pizzazz Library sets puppet show By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Missing — one tiger’s tail. Help wanted — children of all ages to help the tiger find his tail. Place — Rappahannock County Library. Time — Wednesday, August 13, at 7 p.m. The Tiger's Tale is a rollicking puppet adventure from Puppets by Pizzaz to tie in with the summer reading program. The audience will follow the foolish tiger and his jungle friends as they search for his mysteriously misplaced tail. Former Roanoke County librarians Jim Tucker and Mimi Butler, founders of Puppets by Pizzaz, believe that children belong in libraries, and started the puppet enterprise to entice young readers. Mr. Tucker and Ms. Butler are now professional puppeteers and partners in the business. The third member of the outfit is Helen Hunter, a former Roanoke City School art teacher, who now makes the troupe’s puppets and designs the graphics for its promotional materials. Ms. Butler operates the puppets and supplies the voices from behind the stage. Mr. Tucker is the front man and liaison between the audience and the puppets. “I enjoy it because I get to see the reactions of the kids close up,” Mr. Tucker said. “I get to see the glow in their eyes.” Much of what the puppeteers do is educational. In one of their programs they teach handicapped children to put on shows and the children take their show to high schools. Clients include schools, parents who are giving birthday parties, libraries, corporations, social service agencies, shopping malls, fraternal orders, country clubs and church groups. None of the backgrounds of the puppeteers prepared them directly for their current profession, according to the Roanoke Times and World-News. Jim Tucker, 42, received degrees from the University of Richmond, the University of Virginia and the University of Texas. Among them is a master’s in library science. Mimi Butler, 42, received degrees in library science and social work from Mississippi University for Women. She headed the children’s department of Roanoke City libraries and was coordinator of children’s services for the county system. Helen Hunter graduated from Radford University where she majored in art education. She taught school in Roanoke for ten years and now teaches part time in Salem, Va. The puppeteers have learned about their profession from books, other professional puppeteers and through experience. The Valentine Museum in Richmond commissioned them to create an authentic “Punch and Judy” show of the traditional kind probably performed in Virginia in the mid to late 1800s. The puppeteers made the puppets, performed the show at the Richmond museum and trained the museum guides to do the show. They’re proud of that accomplishment, but they’re proudest of the fact that they became professional puppeteers through their own hard work and talents. In addition to the library’s puppet show on August 13 at 7, participants in the summer reading program will receive certificates. Refreshments will culminate the evening of fun. Be there on time so the tiger won’t eat all the refreshments! Obituaries Leslie Merrill Leslie VonBulow Merrill, 87, of Washington died August 1 at Bon Air Home in Stephens City.

CCC, rangers restored park wildlife, habitat Photo courtesy Shenandoah National Park BLIGHT DESTROYED the native chestnut trees, piled here for a bonfire. Park workers replanted the mountains with substitute species. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer When the white man first crossed the Blue Ridge, he found the mountain rich in wildlife. Bison, elk and deer grazed in the high meadows, their trail dogged by timber wolves and mountain lions. Beavers dammed the lower streams. Trout lurked beneath the coolness of cascading waterfalls. But as the settlers claimed the hollows and ridges, they stripped the heights of their wealth. They harvested the bison, beaver, elk and deer for furs and food. They carved pastures from the forest for their cattle and horses, then stalked the predators who would have preyed on the stock. Not only the wildlife felt their presence. Trees, particularly the chestnut, were cut for timber and bark. So it was a scarred and wounded land that Virginia gave Congress for its national park in the Blue Ridge. First the Civilian Conservation Corps and later the rangers of the National Park Service labored to heal the mountains. It was a mountain of a job, by any standard. A booklet put out by Camp Fechner at Big Meadows gave a picture of the project’s scope. CCC workers based at that camp rounded and smoothed 40,000 square yards of banks left by construction of the Skyline Drive, sodded 16 acres, and dug, moved and replanted 300,000 native trees and shrubs in a total of 90,000 “man-days.” In March 1938 alone, the nursery at Big Meadows supplied 3,600 black locust seedlings and 1,200 Blue Ridge firs. Along the drive, at abandoned mountain farms and homesteads, along unused trails and on “gully washed” land, rangers planted Canadian yew, Virginia creeper, trum pet creeper, mountain pine, mountain laurel, rhododendron and mountain ash. Blight introduced from Asia had destroyed the chestnuts that once covered 35,000 acres of the park. There was no cure for the chestnut blight but CCC workers saved the white pine from blister rust, another Asian fungus. They treated 28,523 acres, and the Park Service continued the blister rust control program on another 14,275 acres. GCC boys also destroyed 42,239 galls on 1,833 cedar trees in attacking the native Virginian cedar-apple rust. Another CCC camp devoted 245 “man-days” to fighting the spread of “tree of heaven,” an interloper species that was gaining ground intended for the return of native forest. As much as the wild plants had suffered at the hands of mountain settlers, wild animals had suffered more. Gone were the beaver, the elk, the bison, the wolf, the mountain lion. Almost gone were the bear, the mink and the deer. Raccoons, opossums, foxes and bobcats were fewer. An interview with a mountain man from Elkwallow, included in Darwin Lambert’s legislative history of the park, tells why. “Winter ’fore last, one trapper down Little Washington way got a dozen mink at slab piles around old sawmills — mostly brown minks brought 50 cents to a dollar, but three blacks brought $12 a piece. Black minks 15 years back was $30.” The mountain man, Newt Sisk, said he’d never trapped a mink himself but bragged on his luck with bears. “Bait (the traps for bear) with honey or meat — or you can track ’em in the snow and shoot. Fine meat. Tan hides and make over LEATHERCOAT A Summer Clambake Please join us August 6-10 for Leathercoat’s version of a summer clambake.

B’ar hide brought $25 to $100 15 y’ars ago.” Mr. Lambert’s friend told of other creatures that had disappeared from the park: Jack rabbits “twice as big as cottontails” that hid in the mountain laurel. “They’re darker color than cottontail, ears six inches long, twice as long as other rabbits, tail nearly black.” He told of a “link cat” caught by Charlie Whitehead on Jeremy’s Run while ’coon hunting. “Dogs treed it — awful big feller. Charlie didn’t know what it was, shipped it to New York and got good money for it.” Mr. Sisk also recalled wild turkeys being shot and sold at “high prices” to “city folks.” Restoring the mountain’s wild plants provoked no opposition; the same was not true of the wild animals, however. Lowlanders today still accuse the Park Service of sneaking deer in secretly, complaining that big mule deer were brought in from the Midwest and mixed with local white tails to produce a crossbreed particularly destructive to farms and orchards. The park never formally developed a comprehensive plan for restoring wildlife, according to Mr. Lambert’s administrative history. But repopulation did occur. James Lassiter, Shenandoah’s first superintendent, wrote in May 1934 of releasing 13 deer at Big Run, one of the park’s “wildest and most isolated sections.” Though donated from Mt. Vernon, the animals had come initially from Grand Isle, Mich., according to a park assistant naturalist, and might have been a different subspecies from the native Virginia deer. Bear also were released — not just any old bears, but Bill and Betsy, brother and sister from the Allegheny Mountains. The duo had been part of a roadside exhibit at Panorama until protests over their treatment led to freedom for Betsy on June 8 and for Bill on June 11 in 1934. “The female has not been seen for certain since she was turned loose, but Bill spent Friday, June 15, with a work crew at the foot of Lewis Mountain and was not seen until the next Friday, June 22, when he spent the day with the crew on Big Flat Mountain. Tracks and various depredations have been reported, but most are doubtful," an assistant naturalist wrote in a report filed in park archives. A second report filed the following year noted that “one of the animals wras killed in an organized hunt shortly after liberation, while the other has never been accounted for.” But it was not necessary for Betsy and Bill to thrive and beget for bears to return to Shenandoah. “If a wild population had not survived in the park area, one had certainly survived in mountains to the westward, including the Massanutten, within easy range of travel on their own four feet. All they needed was attractive habitat with protection,” wrote Mr. Lambert in his administrative history. An attempt to restock the park with beavers met with the same lack of success. According to Superintendent Lassiter, a pair from New’ York State was released in 1938 at Bear Wallow Flats. They busied themselves cutting bark from young elm trees and alder bushes and appeared to be adjusting well to their new home. Then, less than two w’eeks later, an 18-year-old from Warren County was caught w'ith a beaver pelt and charged with hunting in the park and killing one of the new arrivals. Superintendent Lassiter reported a month later that the female seemed to be adjusting despite the death of her mate and had built a dam approximately 20 feet long and two feet deep.

A second pair was freed the next year in September on .Jeremy’s Run. But the bad luck continued for the buck-toothed builders. Rangers found a beaver skeleton — maybe the 1938 female, maybe the 1939 female. From there, the press picked up the story, minus certain relevant facts. “Park Rangers wish Billy Beaver would come home,” announced the Northern Virginia Daily of Dec. 6. ‘“Billy Beaver, who with his estranged mate are the only survivors of four beaver originally placed in the park, picked up in a huff sometime ago and moved across a mountain range into Rappahannock County where he’s taken up quarters on Piney Run. “Meantime his mate continues to keep up the old homeplace . . . Park rangers say they’re confident they cap patch things up it they can just get hold of Billy, but the industrious little animal seems to prefer bachelorhood . . . and goes into hiding every time rangers show up on Piney Run where he’s building a dam.” Tlte Washington Post of Dec. 7 reported that “a beaver named Billy doesn’t give a conservation damn in the Shenandoah National Park,” adding that Billy had left his wife “and started a private dam project.” The Virginia Sfa>‘ in Culpeper carried on with the saga of Billy Beaver, announcing on Dec. 14 that the critter had been “working mightily” on the apple trees in Dr. Johnson’s orchard in Sperryville. “He has kept continually at this mighty destruction, even though Dr. Johnson and C. Ennis Brown, our efficient game warden, have notified the Rangers.” To stop the mighty marauder, accused of cutting down full-grown apple trees overnight, the rangers first brought a cage made of wire poultry netting. “Then they brought 20 CCC boys with only two picks and only one shovel,” the newspaper reported. “Of course Billy got a great kick out of seeing three men working and 17 loafing." The paper noted that Billy’s attack on the trees had continued for two weeks. “And all the consolation that the doctor gets from the executive experts is that the government will pay all the damages — which may be true, but if Uncle Sam takes time in proportion to the recapture of Billy by his rangers, then Dr. Johnson’s great-grandson will be as old as Methuselah before he ever gets a cent.” The day after Christmas, Superintendent Lassiter announced that Billy had been “removed to another section where it is hoped both he and his neighbors may live in comparative peace.” He also noted that Dr. Johnson had submitted a damage claim for $45 — apparently paid before the good doctor’s descendants sported gray beards. Then in 1940, Billy’s estranged wife deserted Shenandoah. “It is believed that our lone beaver has left the park and gone on down Hughes River,” Superintendent Lassiter wrote. The park’s repopulation attempts ended with her departure, although years later, the beavers would do it by themselves, climbing the mountain on their own stubby legs to reclaim Blue Ridge streams. In his administrative history, Mr. Lambert notes that an effort also was made to bring back the wild turkey. Six turkeys were released at the head of Nicholson Hollow and five near Jeremy’s Run in March 1938. Superintendent Lassiter also arranged for 70 more to be delivered from the state's game propagation farm in the spring of 1940, but Mr. Lambert could find no records of when or where they were turned loose or how they fared. He reports in his administrative history that turkeys gradually became more abundant after being considered “exceedingly rare” for many years. The population explosion came “maybe from the park’s ef- f fort but just as likely from game commission releases not far from the park.” he wrote. Trout in the park’s streams had been decimated, first by abuse from two-legged fishermen and second by the freaks of nature with alternating floods and droughts. In cooperation with the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, the mountain streams were restocked continuously until 1955. “There have always been trout in these streams,” noted retired ranger Bob Johnson, who spent his boyhood in what became the park and served in Shenandoah for 40 years. “The trout just didn’t have as many enemies (as other wild things).” In 1942, rangers completed a wildlife count. They found three cougar, 37 bobcat, 27 deer and 64 turkey. ■ In 1951, beaver were reported cutting pitch pine along the Big Run and feeding on willows just outside the park boundary. By 1955, visitors were spotting deer and bear from the Skyline Drive. “Bobcats, gray fox, skunks and raccoons are common in the woods. And rabbits, gray squirrels, chipmunks and woodchucks are frequently encountered along the roadsides,” wrote Richard Manville that year in his Mammals of Shenandoah National Park.

Use fescue to stretch feed In many areas of Virginia, dry conditions and high temperatures have caused summer pastures to dry up, resulting in limited grazing for livestock. Regrowth from hay fields has been slow. In fact, many Virginia farmers are finding it necessary to dip into feed supplies originally earmarked for winter feeding. Harlan E. White, Extension forage specialist at Virginia Tech, said that one way farmers can make up the feed deficit they’re facing this winter is to utilize stockpiled fescue in their forage system. “By applying a minimum of 60-70 pounds of nitrogen per acre on tall fescue pastures during August, it’s possible to provide a large portion of the winter feed supply as grazing,” White said. Potassium and phosphorus should also be applied if soil tests indicate the need. The Tech agronomist admitted that setting aside pastures to be stockpiled can be difficult when grazing is in short supply. However, he said, in the long run the forage supply will be greater by permitting the fall growth to accumulate than if livestock are permitted to graze it during the fall. “This may even require feeding some hay in the fall to allow the tall fescue good growth,” said White. “For planning purposes, producers should try to enter the winter months with about three-quarters ton of hay per Cow in addition to one acre of stockpiled tall fescue per cow.” Concerning nitrogen fertilization, White said that Virginia farmers are often reluctant to apply nitrogen on tall fescue sods that are obviously under drought stress. Often, farmers will wait until rains come and the sod “greens up” before applying nitrogen. This is a mistake, White warned. “Nitrogen applied on dry sod is not lost, does not injure the plants, and will be there to give the grass a rapid boost when moisture does arrive,” he explained. “Waiting for a good rain before applying the nitrogen loses valuable growing time for the tall fescue.” Nitrogen needs to be applied in most areas by August 15 in order for the tall fescue to have time to accumulate growth in the fall. For more information on stockpiling fescue, contact your local Extension Agent. Rules for ’87 wheat program Warren and Rappahannock County fanners who participate in the 1987 wheat program will be eligible for price support loans at $2.28 per bushel, 12 cents less than the 1986 loan rate and target price protection of $4.38 per bushel, the same as in 1986, according to Linda Henry, county executive director of the Warren and Rappahannock County ASCS office. Recently announced by USDA, the 1987 wheat program contains a 27.5 percent acreage reduction requirement. “This means that program participants will be required to maintain in acreage conservation reserve an area equal to 37.93 percent of their planted acres,” Ms. Henry said. She said eligibility for a program payment or loan for a commodity on one farm will not be affected by actions taken with that commodity on another farm. The program does not contain a marketing loan provision, and marketing quotas will not be in effect for the 1987 crop. Marketing quotas would require producers to limit the quantities of wheat they could market. If reserve wheat quantities exceed the upper limit set by USD A when 1987 crop wheat loans mature, Ms. Henry said the crop will not be eligible for entry into the farmerowned grain reserve. “Actual crop yields for 1987 and subsequent years will not be used to establish 1988 and future farm program payment yields.” The ASCS official said the Secretary of Agriculture has the authority to initiate cost reduction options for the program. These may include reopening and changing a contract entered into by a farmer under the program if the producer voluntarily agrees to the change. Signup for the 1987 wheat program will be conducted from October 1,1986, through March 30,1987.

County scores high on tests Rappahannock County High School’s sophomore class ranked near the top of all school divisions in the state in the Minimum Competency tests administered in March of this year. According to figures released by the State Superintendent of Instruction’s office, 98.3 percent of RCHS sophomores passed both the reading and the math sections of the exam. RCHS ranked fourth in the North'era Virginia Region behind Clarke Co., 100 percent, Frederick Co., 99.2 percent, and Loudoun Co., 98.7 percent. Rappahannock ranked 19th among 140 school divisions statewide in the percentage of students passing the exam. The Minimum Competency exam passing rates in neighboring school divisions were: Culpeper — 96.2 percent; Fauquier — 98.0 percent; Madison — 92.1 percent; Page — 96.6 percent, and Warren Co. —92.7 percent. RCHS Principal Robert Chappell attributed the continued high success rate on the exam to the fine intelligence of Rappahannock’s youngsters and to the fine teaching staffs in the division’s two schools. “I’m not certain that people realize just how good our teaching staff is. My view is that the instruction provided in Rappahannock County is top notch.” Chappell added that during his tenure, no senior has failed to graduate due to not passing the Minimum Competency exam. If a student fails the exam as a sophomore, he has several additional chances to take the exam before graduation.

Day realtor fcs TRUTH IN LENDING Have you wondered why classified ads for property sales are much longer than they used to be — especially when mortgage terms are spelled out? You can thank the FTC for that. It’s to protect the buyer from false or misleading advertising. During the last few years when creative financing was at its peak, you could count over two hundred different types of mortgage variations available for financing a home. Given this vast number of mortgaging instruments and the complexity of each specific type of mortgage, it’s fairly easy to see how an over zealous copywriter, while attempting to simplify the condition for the layman, could in fact end up misleading the borrower. The Truth-In-Lending Act is monitored by the FTC. For example it clearly stipulates that it is a violation of the law to advertise discounted mortgage rates without including the true annual percentage rate with all fees, points and extra charges included. The explanation may be a bit longer — but at least you know what the real cost is. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Hazards hide in kitchens and garages as well The fire several weeks ago in a shed that held orchard spray materials raised the consciousness level of Rappahannock residents to the potential dangers posed by agricultural chemicals. Alarmed by the discovery of 55 gallon drums and 50 pound sacks in the burning ruin, fire fighters called for expert advice and battled the blaze with sand, rolling the fire hoses back onto the tankers. The materials stored in the shed proved to be relatively harmless and nontoxic, but the fire fighters didn’t know that. And if they had been dealing with poisons, their quick thinking would have prevented dangerous chemical run-off which could have polluted nearby ponds and groundwater. The volunteer firemen took the prudent, safe approach, as do most who- work with agricultural and horticultural chemicals known to be toxic. But what about the chemicals in kitchens, garages and basements? The paint removers, used motor oil, outdated medicines, flea collars, mothballs, roach sprays and no-pest strips? Too often, when Rappahannock residents call the Health Department for advice, they’re-told: “Wrap it in newspaper. Put it in a plastic bag and take it to the landfill” or “Household hazardous wastes are exempt from hazardous waste regulations, so they can go to the county dump.” That answer is not environmentally sound, even if it does come from the “experts.” Those who are concerned about the effect these buried poisons may have, particularly on water quality, continue to store half empty containers, cluttering the corners of their kitchen cabinets, garden sheds, garages and bams. They wait for the day when Virginia will have a commercial hazardous waste disposal facility. It could be a long wait. And in the meantime, those who dispose of hazardous wastes improperly run the risk of contaminating groundwater—the source of drinking water for Rappahannock residents and most rural Virginians. To reduce that risk, follow the suggestions on the accompanying charts, taken from the Piedmont Environmental Council’s newsletter on waste disposal. HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS Inevitably, some hazardous household products must be discarded. Rusted, old containers might be targets for spring cleaning. You might not need some products anymore, such as half-used cans of paint. Or, you might have realized a product is too hazardous for everyday use, and want to get rid of it. Right now, there’s no easy way to dispose of hazardous products. There aren’t any places that accept the small quantities of wastes generated by the average household. For now, the best disposal techniques are listed below. Maybe in a few years, we’ll have something better. PRODUCT Taketoahaz.waste collection site (or store until available) Wrap in plastic bag, put in trash, and alert the collector Wash down drain with lots of water Take to special recycling center (not paper recycling) Give to friend to use with careful instructions Return to manufacturer or to the retailer ACIDS (STRONG) Best Never Never Unavailable Impractical ACIDS (WEAK) Best 4th Best 3rd Best Unavailable 2nd Best BANNED PESTICIDES 2nd Best Never Never Never Never BATTERIES 3rd Best Never Impractical Best Never CAUSTICS Best 3rd Best 4th Best Unavailable 2nd Best EMPTY PESTICIDE CONTAINERS* Best 2nd Best Impractical Unavailable Impractical FLAMMABLES Best 3rd Best Never Unavailable 2nd Best OUTDATED MEDICINES Best 3rd Best 2nd Best Never Never PAINT 2nd Best 3rd Best Never Unavailable Best PAINT REMOVER Best Never Never Unavailable 2nd Best PESTICIDES Best 3rd Best Never Unavailable 2nd Best USED MOTOR OIL 3rd Best Never Never Best Never WOOD PRESERVA- Best 2nd Best Never Unavailable 3rd Best TIVES (“Penta”) Impractical Impractical Best 2nd Best Impractical Impractical Impractical Impractical Impractical Impractical Impractical 2nd Best Impractical * Pesticide containers should be triple-rinsed, and the contents sprayed on crops or yard, before discarding Note: Strong acids include battery acid, muriatic acid, and hydrochloric acid. Weak acids include acetic acid, toilet-bowl cleaner, and lactic acid. Banned pesticides include Silvex, Mirex, Aldrin, Chlordane, DDT, and Heptachlor. Caustics include oven cleaner and drain cleaner. Flammables include alcohol, acetone, turpentine, lacquer, and paint thinner. Pesticides include rodent poisons, insecticides, weed killer, and other herbicides and fungicides.

SUBSTITUTES FOR COMMON HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS Many substitutes for chemical products are inspired by folk wisdom, herbal arts, and plain common sense. You might want to try some of the suggestions below, or others you’ve heard about over the years. They don’t always work as easily or as effectively, but they help reduce the number of chemical products you use. By substituting less-hazardous substances, you won’t have to worry as often about how to discard hazardous household products.

Asked if a waiver on compliance with handicapped regulations could be obtained on the basis of the courthouse being a historic building, Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke replied that no such exemption is available. “The uses made of this building require that it be accessible,” he said, noting that the courthouse could qualify for an exemption only if it is turned into a museum. Members of the Handicapped Access Committee named at Monday’s meeting are Hubert Gilkey, John McCarthy and Richard Abell. Former Supervisor Chairman Col. E. P. Luke, election official Chris Bird and a representative from the Rappahannock Library Board will also be asked to serve.

Accordingly, the county’s lease with Mr. Klein is for one year with a second option year available. In passing out copies of the proposed lease at Monday’s board meeting, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noted that the Humane Society’s representatives had reviewed the agreement and suggested that hours of pound operation be specified in the lease instead of just stating that hours will not exceed 18 per week. He added that Mr. Klein wanted those hours scheduled in the afternoon. The supervisors set Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon as times when the shelter will be open to the public. They also agreed that, upon request, dogs will be kept longer than the five days specified by the state so that owners will have a chance to visit the pound to reclaim a lost animal. Mr. Luke reported that the county can get liability coverage on the leased shelter as an insured site. In addition, he noted that state law provides for — but does not require — a pound adoption program. “You can add that later, after this suit is cleared,” he told the supervisors. Investigation continuing “The situation is in limbo. The investigation is continuing,” reported Trooper R. A. Baines, referring to his investigation of the fatal accident on July 28 on Rt. 211 in front of the Farmers Co-op. “This is not going to be resolved in a few days,” the trooper continued. There are still some questions to be answered, he said. “Charges are pending” as a result of the accident, Trooper Baines added. Two of the accident victims are still patients at the University of Virginia Medical Center. Lilupi Sevak, 38, is listed in good condition, according to Administrative Resident Maureen Nuschke. Zarine Gautan, 35, has been transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit and is listed in satisfactory condition, Ms. Nuschke said. /funglassesl Sparc Pair? ^ We offer you 25% off a second pair purchase!
