Sponsored by the National Park Service, “Hoover Days” was part of the many scheduled events taking place during the park’s 50th anniversary celebration this year. According to Park Ranger Tessy Shirakawa, “President Hoover was looking for a weekend fishing camp that was, one: close to Washington and within a 100 mile radius, two: had mountains, forest and streams with fish, and, three: no mosquitoes.” Located southwest of Big Meadows, the camp is situated on the Rapidan River where the Mill Prong and the Laurel Prong merge, creating a perfect habitat for President Hoover’s coveted native brook trout. “The President loved to fish for the native brook trout and had an extremely fast wrist,” Ranger Shirakawa added. The Park Service provided transportation from the Byrd Visitor Center at Big Meadows down the Rapidan fire road to the rustic camp. The tree-lined drive was beautiful, with hikers walking and people on horseback riding along the way. Upon arriving at the camp, rangers were present to give a brief interpretive history of the retreat and provided answers to any visitor’s questions. The area abounded in huge hemlocks and oaks. “President Hoover, being a civil engineer and contrary to their accepted practices, tread very gently in this area,” stated Ranger George Hoffman. With a hemlock approximately 150 years old growing through the deck adjacent to the front door of the president’s cabin, visitors could easily see what he meant. Mr. Hoffman also added that President Hoover didn’t receive much credit for his conservation practices until later years and was best remembered for being president during the Depression. Besides having abundant scenic beauty, the camp also offered some interesting human history. In 1929 President Hoover bought the land with his own money, despite the fact that he had access to government funds for the purchase. He paid five dollars an acre for the 164 acre tract, the going rate for mountain land in Madison County at that time. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner PRESIDENT HOOVER’S CABIN at Camp Hoover is one of three cabins at the camp which have been preserved. Originally there were 13 cabins and President Hoover used his camp as a “weekend White House*’ and with his wife Lou Henry entertained VIPs from Washington as well .as dignitaries from abroad. After President Hoover left office in 1933 he donated the cabins to the National Park Service and they became part of the Shenandoah National Park upon its official dedication in 1936. The Boy Scouts of America also used Hoover’s camp and signed a 20-year lease with the Park Service. The Scouts’ tenure ended in 1958. Of the original 13 buildings of Hoover’s Camp, three were restored and are currently maintained by the Park Service. They are rented to visiting dignitaries and government officials as stipulated by President Hoover. During Shenandoah National Park’s 50th anniversary this year, other special events will also be held, sponsored by the National Park Service, Shenandoah Natural History Association and ARA Virginia Skyline Company: • August 15 & 16: Barn-yard festival and craft days — Skyland.

Council hears objections; defers decision By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council has deferred a decision on adopting the comprehensive plan and amendments to the pro nt zoning ordinances recommended by the town’s planning commis.- ,:>n. Following a stormy four and one-half hour meeting July 30 the Vashington Town Council decided to postpone any decision until its next meeting August 20. After hearing objections from about three dozen residents council member Evelyn Willis said, “We’re sitting here tonight because of the town. I don’t think I have the right to vote tonight for these people — they want us to hear more.” Newly-seated council member Nan Thomasson agreed. “With all the input from residents, even with the changes I can’t (vote to) pass tonight.” Council member William Wickens, also a member of the planning commission, disagreed. “If we wait 30 days and get a subdivision in we’re going to say, ‘I wish we had passed this’. To continue to let the town go unprotected — I do not feel comfortable.” Mrs. Willis replied: “It’s all a gamble — but life is a gamble. If I’m wrong you’re going to strike me dead, (but) three weeks is not life or death.” Mayor Dean Morehouse and council members Doroihy Clater, Mrs. Thomasson and Mrs. Willis voted to defer the matter. The planning commission’s proposal to re-zone the tow n into four classifications from the present one drew the most fire fn-m the audience. Under the ordinance now in effect (adopted in 1970) the entire town is zoned residential. The only “by-right” uses permitted by the ordinance are single and two family dwellings, churches, libraries and signs advertising businesses located within the town. All other land uses are sanctioned either by special permit (if begun after 1970) or as a non-conforming use (if they were in operation before the ordinance took effect). The opposition to the re-zoning plan came from resi rits whose businesses will be located in proposed residential zones Business development in areas zoned residential would be severely n--i ricted under the plan. Camille Harris said that “I’m real upset that the comprehensive plan doesn’t allow appropriate modest business development in enough areas.” She added that the “fine line” between vdlage service and village mixed use districts placed “too many restrictions” on mixed use districts. Ms. Harris, who with her husband Pat Foster operat es a bed and breakfast in their home on Main Street, elaborated her concerns in a letter addressed to the council. “Washington . . . was conceived and developed over the past two hundred years under the principle of mixed use of properties. The interspersal of homes and businesses is what gives the town its character. . . . The proposed zoning ordinance does not recognize the full extent to which mixed use i currentlyexisting and it overregulates future development of mixed use properties which are being downzoned to residential and village services.” Ms. Harris proposed that the village service district be reclassified to mixed use. She also suggested that the mixed use i Lssification be given to Main Street (both sides from the Washington ( ash Store to the Foster-Harris house); Gay Street (both sides from the Episcopal Church to the Gay Street Inn); and Middle Street (both sides from the intersection with Main Street to the Rt. 211 intersection). “The areas other than those I have designated . . . remain village residential or village rural agricultural,” she concluded. Attorney Frank Reynolds, who also served as a member of the planning commission, defended the proposed zones, saying that to zone residential areas for commercial use would “artificially increase Continued on page 18 County day planned at special camp Jim McCullough wants Rappahannock to get Fantastic. The 19-year-old college sophomore from Castleton is putting together a Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic, a week long camp for youngsters who are battling cancer. It’s Jim’s third stint at Camp Fantastic, which is held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center under the auspices of Special Love and the National Institute of Health. “Camp Fantastic is a place where you can make 75 brand new friends — friends for life — in 15 minutes,” Jim said. “The kids get off the bus. You’ve never met a single one of them before, but in an incredibly short time, you care for them, you feel a special love towards them. That’s what it’s all about. It’s about special love.” In past years, campers have included kids whose cancer treatments had left them free of the disease, some for as many as five years. This summer’s campers will all have had treatment within the past three years. “The difference is that fewer of the kids will KNOW that they’re cured, since none of them will have passed that important five year mark,” Jim said. But he doubted if the change would make any difference in the spirit of Camp Fantastic. “All of the kids have positive ;—very positive — attitudes about the future. This is really a happy place and a happy time. No one at Camp Fantastic ever stops smiling—and hoping.” This outlook on life goes home with the campers, according to Jim, who corresponds with many of his young friends. “Their letters are always positive,” he emphasized. “These kids deserve the best week that is possible for them, the best week we can give them,” said Jim, explaining why he wanted more people in the county to become involved with Camp Fantastic. “Their courage needs to be rewarded. ” The idea for a Rappahannock County Night was stolen from the civic clubs and businesses of Warren County which give the Fantastic kids a parade through town and a fair and barbecue at the camp. “Camp Fantastic may actually be IN Warren County, but Rappahannock’s just over the mountain. I thought we should do something, too,” Jim said. “And when Jim thinks, he usually thinks food,” his mother joked. Mother and son caucused with John Dooley, the director of Continued on page 18 Frances Thornton: no fanfare, just results By j. e. McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer “I’d like to go out the same way I came in,” says Frances Thornton, Rappahannock’s first and only public health nurse who retired last month after 36 years. And that meant without fanfare, fuss or hoopla. When her friends and peers planned a retirement party at Panorama, she declined to participate. But the organizers were insistent — after all, she’d outlasted nine health directors, nine sanitarians and seven clerks in her 36 years on the job. “I don’t think many people in this county really know how much she did,” said Mary Botts Quaintance, former elementary school principal and teacher who worked with Mrs. Thornton to improve the health of Rappahannock’s children. “Her duties went far beyond those of a normal public health nurse.” Mrs. Quaintance was given the task of persuading the reluctant retiree to be the guest of honor at the party. The choice was perfect — Mrs. Quaintance had been the public health nurse’s seventh grade teacher. “Frances gave in because she said whenever I looked over my glasses at her, she had to do what I ordered,” Mrs. Quaintance said of her former student. Although she graduated from the University of Virginia’s nursing school, nursing was not her first field of employment. Instead, she was a teacher in Woodville’s tworoom school. “I remember Dr. Snead from the School Board asking me to take the job,” Mrs. Thornton recalled. “I told him I wasn’t a teacher, but he argued that the big sixth grade boys had already scared away two teachers. He didn’t think I’d let them scare me, and he was right.” She stayed in the classroom for a year and half until Rappahannock County organized its first, public health service. Frances Thornton had grown up in the county. Except for three years at Madison College and another three at UVA, she’d spent her life in Rappahannock. She had established relationships with many of the local people. “It would have taken someone else 10 years to learn what she knew when she started,” said Mrs. Quaintance. And though she’d left the little two-room school in Woodville, she continued working with children. She arranged for doctors to visit the schools, providing many youngsters with their only regular medical care. When the county supervisors discontinued funding for the program that brought dentists to the schools, Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Quaintance raised money and support, taking their case to the head of the State Dental Department. They brought back a dental chair and a commitment for services from young graduates of dental school. photo couriers v of Frances Thornton IN 1952, RAPPAHANNOCK'S new public health nurse was given a state car. “It was so old, I think they’d forgotten about it,” Mrs. Thornton recalled. “I kept it for two years before it fell apart.” Mrs. Thornton also instituted the May Day program at the Rappahannock Elementary School. Children had their ears, eyes, teeth and weight checked. If attention was needed, it was arranged; if everything was satisfactory, the youngsters received certificates attesting to their good health. Then the King and Queen of the May and their courts were chosen from the ranks of the healthy. In later years, this school health program was dropped, largely because parents had been educated by Mrs. Thornton into taking care of their children’s medical needs, according to Mrs. Quaintance. “I really think Frances did more for the two schools than any regular school nurse would have. Of course, we never needed a school nurse because we had her,” the former principal said. Continued on page 18 FRANCES THORNTON

M., last month. One of the Boy Scouts of America’s four National High Adventure areas, Philmont offers a wide range of programs and activities, including horseback riding, burro racing, western lore, blacksmithing, gold panning and rock climbing. The Scouts participated in all of the activities, and also had an opportunity to earn a “50-miler” award during an 11-day expedition in the Sangre de Cristo Range in the Rocky Mountains. They also climbed Mt. Baldy, which has an elevation of 12,441 feet at its summit. In addition to the activities at Philmont, the Scouts also had a chance to see and learn about other parts of the country during the chartered bus trip to and from New Mexico. Among the stops during the trip were the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, the Archway to the West in St. Louis and Koshare Indian Kiva a La Junta, Colorado. The expedition’s participants described it as a “once in a lifetime Scouting experience.” ATTENTION CATTLE FARMERS FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE FALL GRADED SALE (Consignments Welcome) Sept 18-Yearling Steers Only Oct 9 - Yearling Steers & Heitors Oct 16-Calves, Steers & Heifers Oct 30-Yearling Steers Only For Further Info.

Supervisors seek help in clearing Rt.522 of tractor-trailers By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors has appealed to the county’s representative on the Virginia Highway Commission and authorized the board’s assistant, John McCarthy, to ask local representatives in the General Assembly for help in rerouting truck traffic from Route 522. In response to pressure from local citizens and public officials, the Virginia Commission of Highways and Transportation closed Route 17 from Warrenton to Marshall to “through traffic” tractor-trailers until improvements to the road are completed. The closing came after the Commission reviewed accident statistics and determined that accidents were increasing on the eightmile section, according to Bob Moore, assistant engineer in the Warrenton residency. He reported that “the bulk” of the rerouted trucks are “still coming through Warrenton via Gainesville” following signs posted by the Highway Department. Mr. Moore conceded, however, that a portion of the tractor-trailers traveling north /south on the Interstate 95 corridor are detouring through Rappahannock, using Route 522 over Chester Gap mountain. And they could continue to use that alternate route for another three to five years. Mr. Moore projected that it will take as long as five years for improvements to Route 17 to be completed. The Highway Department is scheduled to accept bids this month for construction on the middle section of Route 17. “But there’s been a temporary delay due to lack of funds” for the start of work on Route 17 north of Warrenton to the area known as “The Attic” and the section that stretches from Route 245 to Marshall, Mr. Moore said. Completion of the entire project — which must happen before the road is reopened to tractor-trailers —“hinges on the scheduling of those remaining sections, and that depends on funding.” The picture should be clearer after the General Assembly’s special transportation session this September, Mr. Moore added. “We’ll have to see what happens after all the smoke clears . . . the best thing we can do to resolve » the safety problems on Route 17 and * Route 522 for people in Fauquier and Rappahannock is to accelerate the Route 17 construction and rebuild the road from Warrenton to Marshall.” Accidents here involving tractortrailers have gone from one in 1983 to four so far this year, according to Highway Department statistics. The number of fatalities arising from those accidents stands at four. That death toll has prompted a strong response from the supervisors. “The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County is extremely upset over the increasingly hazardous burden our citizens are expected to bear in order that users of Route 17 may be spared such tragedies as we have endured," wrote John McCarthy in a letter last week to Constance Kincheloe, Culpeper District representative on the Highway Commission. “We urgently request that the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation reconsider the closure of Route 17 to truck traffic, and that highway improvement plans be altered in recognition of this clear and present danger to highway users.” The supervisors were unanimous in their agreement that Rappahannock lives should be deemed as valuable as Fauquier lives. “If tractortrailers are a danger to the folks on Route 17 in Fauquier, they’re just as dangerous — probably more so — to people here on Route 522,” maintained Supervisor Nelson Lane, pointing out that sight distance is less on Route 522 and driveway entrances onto the road more in number than on Route 17. Supervisor Newbill Miller agreed with Mr. Lane, but reminded his fellow board members that Fauquier voters number over 35,000 while Rappahannock voters are just 6,000 — a probable factor in the Highway Commission’s decision to send tractor-trailers over Route 522 in Rappahannock instead of Route 17 in Fauquier. “They’ve got the clout; we haven’t.” After considering — and rejecting — protests to the Governor and various other officals, the board approved Mr. McCarthy’s letter to Ms. Kincheloe and authorized their administrative assistant to contact Rappahannock’s representatives in the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates for suggestions on other roadblocks the county can erect, if any, to tractor-trailer traffic.

The workers at the two organizations are aware that many people become frustrated and feel helpless and alone, not knowing where to turn for help. They can provide assistance both in caring for, or understanding how to provide care for, a sick friend or family member. The Hospice and Home Health Care are scheduling a series of meetings during September to acquaint the public with the services offered by the two groups. The meetings will be held on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30. Refreshments will be served. Following is a list of dates and locations of the meetings: • Sept. 4: Culpeper Baptist Church, S. West St. • Sept. 11: Madison Methodist Church, S. Main St. • Sept. 18: Washington Baptist Church, Mt. Salem Ave. • Sept. 25: Orange Methodist Church, Main St. “We’re joining together to let the public know more about our services,” said Susan Taylor, executive director of the Hospice of the Rapidan. “We want to help, please let us. Now is the time to learn how Hospice or Home Health Care can meet your needs or future needs.” For further information, directions or to plan to attend a meeting call Susan Taylor at the Hospice (825-4840) or Vivian Dennis at Home Health Care (825-2273). Hospice provides individual services By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Ncw> Staff Writer “The Hospice helps people live until they die,” explained Susan Taylor, executive director of the Hospice of the Rapidan. The Hospice is a volunteer organization dedicated to helping the terminally ill and their families preserve the quality of life in the patient’s final months. Sam Aitken, a member of the Hospice’s board of directors, said that the Hospice concept takes over when medical hope is gone, generally when the patient has six months or less to live. “We don’t provide medical care. We provide support for the patient and their family. Often these people are in desperate shape — physically and psychologically. They — or their families — are unable to go it alone any more.” Mr. Aitken said that his involvement with the Hospice concept began four or five years ago. “We had two friends with terminal illnesses, one in Baltimore and one here. The well-being of the patient and their family under Hospice care was much better that those trying to do it alone.” After that experience Mr. Aitken and his wife Pat became part of the organizational effort behind the Hospice of the Rapidan, which serves Culpeper, Madison, Orange and part of Rappahannock counties. “We work together with the Fauquier Hospice to serve Rappahannock.” “The need here was much greater than we anticipated. We have served 44 families in two years,” Ms. Taylor said. “It’s growing, almost doubled. It will probably double again — we’ll serve 45 to 60 families this year.” Mr. Aitken explained that the Hospice’s services vary according to each patient. “We try to provide for their needs. Lots of times they just need someone to talk to. There’s a lot of fear associated with dying; we try to alleviate those fears.” Ms. Taylor added that “the whole goal of Hospice is to make life the best possible.” The Hospice volun teers will only work with families if invited. “We don’t initiate contact. We don’t make judgements. Whatever the family says they need, that’s what we do.” “Many times the families are exhausted from staying up all night with the patient. Our volunteers will stay with the patient so the family can get a break,” Ms. Taylor said. “We will do the grocery shopping, babysit, provide transportation to medical appointments, anything the family may need to help out. Sometimes the families are so worn out that they just need someone to do things like shopping. It gives them a chance to do the important things, like talking and spending time as a family.” The Hospice volunteers also try to help the family understand what is happening. There is a lot of fear, anger and bargaining associated with dying, Ms. Taylor said. “And there is so much love that often it manifests itself as anger — instead of crying. The family members often feel guilt over their anger. The emotional drain also increases the anger and fear.” Ms. Taylor said that this vicious circle can sometimes be broken just by the family having time to spend together without having to worry about the mundane, everyday tasks like shopping. The Hospice also provides support for the survivors after the patient has died. Everyone accepts the loss which the survivors feel in the first few days, Mr. Aitken said. “But the real void is months later.” Often the survivors are left to cope with a situation which is radically different because the family member is gone. The Hospice can provide grief and bereavement counseling, companionship and comfort to the survivors, Ms. Taylor said. The Hospice can also provide referrals for financial and legal help, she added. “No one at the Hospice provides professional services as a volunteer. They all serve in a nonprofessional capacity. But we can provide resource linkage — we can refer people to others who can help.” That help also extends to assisance with items like hospital beds, ir conditioners and other medical quipment. The Hospice volunteers can provide help in locating items which may make the patient more comfortable. Mr. Aitken said that the Hospice is understaffed and always looking for volunteers. “We work with the volunteers to arrange their time. The time spent varies dramatically from family to family. An average is about three to four hours per week.” Ms. Taylor said that the Hospice currently has between 40 and 50 volunteers. Each volunteer works with one family at a time. “It can really be emotionally draining,” she said, explaining that each volunteer receives 24 hours of training before doing any field work. “The volunteers do so much. They are fantastic, caring, easygoing people,” Ms. Taylor said. Most are older people, some from the Retired Senior Volunteer Program of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. “We could use some younger people — especially for the legwork,” she added. Ms. Taylor said that anyone who wants additional information about the Hospice’s services or about the volunteer program should contact the Hospice of the Rapidan, P.O. Box 738, Culpeper 22740. The Hospice office is at 126 S. Main St., on the second floor of the Second National Bank building. The Hospice also maintains a 24-hour answering service at its office number, 8254840. Ms. Taylor stressed that all the services of the Hospice are free of charge. Mr. Aitken concluded that “(Hospice care) is not something you should have to pay for. We’re just human beings looking out for human beings. We’re all dying — they (the terminally ill) just have a better idea when.” Drought situation is hit and miss There will be Hanover County melons in Richmond stores and Halifax County melons at many other Virginia food outlets, despite the drought, reports Virginia Tech horticulturist Charlie O’Dell. “The drought is making us nervous,” admitted O’Dell, an Extension project leader for commercial vegetable production who just returned from a tour of new enterprise crops in southside Virginia. “But it’s not as bad as you might think.” “Halifax area farmers are shipping melons like mad all over the state through major chains,” he said. Richmond-area consumers purchase all of Hanover County’s melons. . BETTER THYMES NATURAL FOODS i j has a large selection of quality cheeses for less: j MONTEREY JACK $3.20 lb. : HAVARTI $3.25 lb.

Day realtor ADVERSE POSSESSION The law has made a public policy decision that land should be used, and not lie idle. This is the underlying reason for a principle known as “adverse possession”. This means that if you use land as your own—even though you don’t have a deed or other title document—you will eventually become its owner. This legal principle does not come into operation in cases where the land is being leased or rented, or if permission in any other way is given by the true owner. Rather, the use of the land by the one claiming adverse possession must meet all of these requirements: the possession must be open, continuous (for the minimum period in each state, usually 15 to 20 years) exclusive, adverse, and notorious. An occasional use of the land is not sufficient to ripen into title by adverse possession. If you own land which someone else is using without your permission, you could lose title to the land if you wait too long. Don’t let this happen to you.

Irrigation ponds in the area are replenished by springs rather than rainfall. “But the growers are having to work awfully hard, setting up the equipment and taking it down to move it and set it up again.” The southside counties of Halifax, Pittsylvania and Brunswick, and Hanover County, north of Richmond, have also had some rain in the last several weeks, O’Dell reported, which has helped some with fall seeding. “The fall broccoli seeding season is now and we’re hoping for continued showers because the growers don’t have time, and in some cases the water, to irrigate and harvest tobacco and melons, and irrigate the fall plantings too.” Other parts of the southside haven’t benefited from scattered showers, O’Dell added.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. _ Z-—/ THURSDAY, AUGUST 14,1986 0 Editorial You can help The latest in a series of fatal accidents involving tractortrailer trucks in Rappahannock County brings the problem of trucks on the county’s narrow roads back into the foreground. The Board of Supervisors has formally requested that the Highway Department reconsider its ban on trucks on Rt. 17 in Fauquier County. The effort, futile though it may be, is commendable. Unfortunately, as Supervisor J. Newbill Miller observed, Fauquier County, because of its population, has the clout which Rappahannock County lacks. Clout, however, is relative. Perhaps if enough citizens make their concerns felt, our representatives in Richmond can again exert pressure on the officials at the Highway Department to reconsider their decision. It is literally a lifeand-death situation. The addresses of Rappahannock’s representatives are: House of Delegates: Honorable Raymond R. Guest, Jr. 27 South Royal Ave. Front Royal, Va. 22630 State Senate: Honorable Kevin G. Miller 417 Mountain View Drive Harrisonburg, Va. 22801 A letter expressing your concern does not have to be long, or a flowery work of rhetoric. Short, to the point, that is all that is necessary. Five minutes of your time could conceivably make a difference for one of our neighbors. Isn’t it at least worth a try? Slate Police ask cooperative effort to stop vandalism Colonel R. L. Suthard, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, has called for a cooperative effort to help reduce vandalism across the state. “Vandalism is not a harmless prank,” said Colonel Suthard, “it’s a crime, one that is not isolated to a certain community, a certain county, a certain city. The deliberate, pointless damaging of property wastes time and money.” Many thousands of vandalism crimes are reported each year, noted Colonel Suthard, and it is estimated that at least twice as many are unreported. According to arrest information in Virginia’s 1985 uniform crime report, police officers arrested 5,318 persons for vandalism. While reports indicate that most suspected vandals are children, 3,336 of those arrested for vandalism in 1985 were over the age of 18 and 4,646 were male. State Police point out that there is no “typical” vandal. They include girls and boys, men and women, good students and dropouts, the well-to-do and the poor. However, vandals do often work in groups. Aunong reasons for vandalism, State Police list anger, boredom, drug abuse, disciplinary problems, personal proDiems ana racial or political conflicts. Drug and alcohol abuse make vandalism more likely. Youths who are feeling “high” may use less judgment and act irresponsibly. Vandalism is sometimes connected with thefts for drug money. Parents along with everyone else can help prevent vandalism, say State Police. Some of the best ways to prevent vandalism are to teach by example: respecting the law, other people’s rights and property; being responsible citizens; giving children time and recognition; getting help for children when they have problems. State Police urge citizens to protect personal property against vandalism, keeping gates, garages, and houses locked; using outdoor lighting whenever possible and removing keys from parked cars. It is particularly important that persons report suspicious individuals and activities in their communities and that they cooperate with law enforcement personnel. “Vandalism today has reached almost epidemic proportions,” said Colonel Suthard, “and it is going to take a cooperative effort by everyone to combat this senseless destruction of property.” Slaufditer urges more restraint Congressman D. French Slaughter, Jr. (R-7th) reported that recent developments have made it apparent that Congress will have to reduce government spending for government operations below the levels that were considered sufficient when the Budget Act was passed earlier this year if the Congress is to meet the deficit reduction targets required by Gramm/Rudman. This is because spending and revenue estimates have been too optimistic. In fact, it appears that Congress may still miss this target by estimates ranging from $11 billion to $25 billion, the Congressman said. “In order to maintain the budget priorities set by the Appreciations r Committee while still coming up with necessary additional savings, I have been supporting amendments calling for across-the-board reduction in all appropriations bills to freeze spending as last year’s levels,” Mr. Slaughter said. “Unfortunately, however, only two of these amendments have been successful in the 10 appropriations bills passed by the House thus far this year.” The savings contained in the amendments which passed amount to just over $660 million, while those contained in the freeze amendments that were defeated would have reduced the deficit by an additional amount estimated at more than $4 billion, he added. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Rappahannock Heritage A RAPPAHANNOCK SUNSET OUTSIDE FLINT HILL < Letters to the editor Needed: one volunteer lo tne editor: The Rappahannock County unit of the American Cancer Society needs a volunteer for a very special assignment, one that offers enormous returns in personal satisfaction for a very modest investment of time and trouble. The job: manager of our loan closet, from which cancer patients borrow equipment designed for their needs — special beds, wheelchairs, walkers, canes and the like. The manager is responsible for signing equipment in and out, ordering new equipment as needed, and making a brief report four times a year. That’s all! Do you have a small shed suitable for storage — 12 foot by 12 foot is enough — or a dry basement room accessible to a truck for loading and unloading? Is your home in a convenient location? Are you home a fair amount of the time, particularly evenings and weekends? (Arrangements will be made for alternate handling when you are away for ex tended periods. The assignment will not tie you down.) Our well organized unit of the Cancer Society has been offering this extremely valuable service for some years. Now, for reasons of ill health, our loan-closet chairman is being forced to resign her position. Like her, the successor will automatically become a member of the board of the local unit. This is truly a rare opportunity for anyone who wants to make a unique contribution to the community from her — or his — home. While calls for equipment loans are infrequent — usually a few or none in a month — the service is absolutely vital when it is needed. Few if any opportunities for civic service offer richer rewards for less effort. For more information or to volunteer for this assignment, call Mrs. Beverly Massie, 937-4432. Rappahannock Unit American Cancer Society Washington Troublesome thoughts To the editor: Days ago I was on our isolated property there in Rappahannock County when thoughts of the overdeveloping Northern Virginia area intruded. So unconsciously I began to compose, and the resulting sentiment should have been entitled “An Un-Ode to the Developer.” July in Rappahannock The fresh-brewed light encased in haze , (That’s ladled by dark to sultry days), Whispers to birds a summons for flight; These herald the dawn surrendered by night. The soaring, glorious sun grows bold, Embracing the lake in a shimmering fold; Redwings flit from the cattail grove While transient swallows swoop above. The tasseling com and Queen Anne’s Lace Suffuse the soil with fleeting grace; Stiff roseate thistles and mullein spears Uplift from soil unspoilt through years. Cattle browse on their mountain throne Aloft from the locusts’ somnolent ' drone; The sumac boughs are thatched with bloom; This rustic scene divines no doom. May the valley we view, wrested from rock, Hold fast in time, made fast by lock; Mankind destroys in selfish deed, Beware, our species, impaled in greed! ANNE M. CABANISS Marshall On transporting hazardous materials Trucks bearing high-level radioactive nuclear waste have been crossing Virginia over the past two years en route to a special testing facility in Idaho. The trucks are from Virginia Power’s nuclear power plants near Richmond. Through an agreement with the Department of Energy, Virginia Power has been shipping irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratories for a dry cask demonstration program. A cask is a container for spent nuclear fuel. Virginia Power keeps its irradiated uranium and plutonium fuel rods underwater. The dry cask is a storage method it could employ in the future at its North Anna and Surry plants, where the nuclear waste would be buried intact. Each fuel assembly consists of 204 rods in an array approximately eight inches square and 13 feet long. The lead and steel highway casks in which they are transported measure six feet in diameter by 16 feet long and can accommodate three such assemblies. To date, 66 assemblies have made the 2500-mile cross country trek in Idaho. In the future such assemblies may be routinely transported every few weeks from Virginia Power’s Surry facility to North Anna, a distance of 125 miles. How safe are people who live along the way? Very. Tom Snow, supervisor of Virginia Power’s nuclear fuel operation, points out that regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are THE TECHNICAL EYE far more stringent for the surveillance and integrity of containers carrying nuclear waste than existing regulations for other hazardous substances such as chlorine. Tests on the casks ordered by the Department of Transportation are at once conclusive and comforting. Trucks carrying the containers have been crashed into concrete walls at 80 mph. Others have been parked at railroad crossings and struck broadside by rocket-propelled locomotives. Casks have been dropped from airplanes at an altitude of 2000 feet. And they have been dropped on steel rods to test their ability to withstand puncture. In none of these tests has there been any evidence of radioactive release. Virginia Tech’s Dennis Price is chairman of the National Academy of Science’s committee on the transportation of hazardous materials. Price points out that the public is in far greater danger from the transportation of substances other than nuclear waste. Gasoline is the chief culprit, causing more deaths, injuries and property damage than any other hazardous material. tfi-AROjJ nukes “The public accepts the transportation of gasoline,” Price says, “because it’s familiar and not as mysterious as nuclear waste. Trucks carrying gasoline ride with their tanks above the axles. If the center of gravity were lower, they wouldn’t roll over as often. But there’s been no public pressure on engineers to change the design of these trucks.” Besides gasoline, the DOT has classified nearly 20 categories of hazardous materials, including flammable liquids, flammable solids, corrosives, poisons, irritants, and oxidizers (materials that cause other materials to burst into flame). Price feels that contingency planning for the transportation of these substances has been spotty from an engineering standpoint. “Following an accident,” he says, “drivers carrying these hazardous materials often perform makeshift operations, constructing dikes, plugging holes, or jerryrigging equipment to transfer the materials to another vehicle.” In contrast the Radioactive Materials Transportation Manual of the Tri-State Motor Transit Co. lists 44 pages of specific operations, procedures, and safety precautions for the handling of radioactive loads. The information is based on federal regulations, company standards, and years of experience in hauling nuclear wastes. This same care should be given to | transporting materials that the public perceives as less threatening.

An evening of the Blues $ The Bluemont Concert Series will present an Evening of the Blues with blues artists John Jackson, Eleanor Ellis and Flora Molton in concert on Saturday, August 16, at 7:60 p.m. on the lawn of the Warren Green Hotel in downtown Warrenton. Requested donation is $1 per person. An Evening of the Blues will be a very special performance by three of the world’s great blues musicians. John Jackson is one of the country's great rural blues guitarists and singers. He was born and raised in Rappahannock County, where he began playing guitar as soon as he was big enough to hold one. A largely selftaught musician, John was “discovered” in the early 1960s and his musical career has grown steadily since, leading to performances at major festivals and concerts all over the United States. Flora Molton began playing music in the early 1920s at Saturday night gatherings in Louisa County, playing slide with a butter knife on a dollar guitar. She moved to Washington, D. C., in the 1940s and has been a regular street performer there for 40 years, also appearing at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and other music festivals. Flora likes to recall a special private performance she gave for the rock group the Rolling Stones. She is a moving and powerful singer of oldtime gospel music and songs she’s written from her life experiences, accompanying herself with the “lonesome sound” of her slide guitar.. Eleanor Ellis was born in New Orleans and grew up in Tangipahoa Parish where she was exposed to jazz and blues throughout her early years. She worked at the Jazz Archive and the Jazz Museum in New Orleans and played the blues, developing a personal style through the many musical influences in LouiCall 675-3349 to place your ad BACK TO SCHOOL HEADQUARTERS « i FOR WAKEFIELD SCHOOL A We have all the clothes you need. 5-LEVI SPECIALS I Men s & btuaents Regular Denim Corduroy. $18.99 Boy’s Regular Denim Boys’ Corduroy $16.99 All Pre-washed Denim $21.99 Front Royal’s finest men’s & boys shop.

She gave most | people the third-degree of questioning when they came to my office without an appointment. But every day one little person got passed her without so much as a question. When this little girl finished kindergarten downstairs she would dash upstairs, run pass the secretary who waved her on in, and she’d come crashing into my office always as welcomed as a fresh breath of spring. Why? She was my daughter! It was not a matter of W11 AT she had done nor what she wanted with me that gave her immediate access to me. It was WHO SIIE WAS. And when we approach God, it is not in terms of what we know or don’t know; not what we have done or not done, but rather, WHO we arc. More accurately, WHOSE we are. We are His. “Wrc are the children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. . .” (Rom. 8:16,17) opyfight 1986, Keister Williams Newspaper Services, P 0 Box 8005.

Rappahannock • • J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life New regs for wood sellers New regulations that apply to the sale and advertising of fireplace or stove wood Were approved February 26 by the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services and became effective . July 9. Enforcement responsibilities were assigned to the Weights and Measures Bureau. Sellers of non-packaged fireplace or stove wood are now required to supply the purchaser with a delivery ticket or sales invoice. Also, any form of advertising referring to measurement of wood must include the word “cord.” A cord is defined as the amount of wood contained in a space of 128 cubic feet when the wood is racked and well stowed in a line with individual pieces touching and parallel to each other. The Weights and Measures Bureau, in releasing the announcement, noted that in recent years they have received numerous complaints about amounts of wood delivered. Many consumers seem to be concerned about the size of a cord, a standard wood measurement. Consumers have been confused by terms such as face cord, rack, pile, or truck load. All of these can differ in size and amount and are prohibited terms when used in the advertising and sale of fireplace and stove wood. Although any form of advertising requires the proper use of the term cord, the regulations state in part “...an agreement after visual inspection, between buyer and seller or the sale of fireplace or stove wood by tjie ‘truck load’ shall be permitted.” Under the new regulations a delivery ticket or sales invoice shall contain at least the following information: • The name and address of the vendor. • The name and address of the purchaser. • The date delivered. • The quantity delivered, using the term “cord and fractional parts of a cord or the cubic meter”. The quantity upon which the price is based, if this differs from the delivered quantity. • The price of the amount delivered. For more specific information on this regulation, contact the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Weights and Measures Bureau, P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, Virginia 23209. Telephone (804)7862476. Baliles urges broader scope for Tech’s agriculture study Gov. Gerald Baliles has asked Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to broaden the scope of its study of the “Future of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Industries in Virginia.” The study was initiated in January 1986 and a completed report will be delivered to the governor by the end of the year. Baliles told a crowd of more than 1,000 people at Agri-Tech ’86, “The report I have commissioned should examine the future of agriculture in the broadest terms possible — to consider all aspects of agriculture — both national and international. The report should secure a definition of Virginia agriculture commensurate with the realities of the global economic market and agriculture’s contribution to Virginia’s fiscal well being.” “Virginia must take charge of its own destiny,” the governor said. “I have asked Virginia Tech, as the next stage in its futures study, to critically analyze how Virginia’s state government contributes to, or detracts from, the success of the commonwealth’s agricultural community.” The phase one report included an overview of global issues, a rundown of challenges and opportunities in each region, a summary of statewide challenges and opportunities, and an Crop deficiency payments increase Because many farmers need payments now, the Secretary of Agriculture has authorized a nationwide, across-the-board 10 percent increase in 1986 advance deficiency payfn6'rit£TiScc6rding to Linda P. Henry, County Executive Director of the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. The 1985 Farm Bill specifies that up to 50 percent of crop deficiency payments may be paid in advance. Up to now, producers of program crops received 40 percent. With the recent announcement, all farmers, in every state, will receive an additional 10 percent in generic certificates. Mrs. Henry stated that farmers in Rappahannock County who are participating in the 1986 acreage reduction programs have automatically been issued the additional 10 percent if they requested advance payment at time of signup. Payments are made in the form of negotiable commodity certificates that farmers may trade, sell, or apply to outstanding commodity loans. Co-op prepares for anniversary “We’re going to have a good time and a lot of things on sale,” said Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative.

Stuart ^rreets, The Plains, Virginia examination of issues in teaching, research and extension. Gov. Baliles also made reference to declining profits. “In a decade, expenses have doubled,” he said. He cited price declines from 1984 to 1985 of $3.22 to $2.22 a bushel for corn, $3.71 to $2.50 a bushel for wheat, and $6.31 to $4.90 a bushel for soybeans. And although Virginia provides more than 35 different products for sale in more than 100 nations, and is still selling more than $274 million worth of farm products on the world market every year, there is massive drying up of export markets, Gov. Baliles said. “An estimated 25 to 30 percent of our farmers are in serious financial difficulty.” Mitch Geasler, director of Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, concluded the phase one report calling the study “a good chance to take risks and make some bold statements for public reaction.” He suggested the study look at food preferences, existing products, regulations. . .That it ask whether consumers are willing to continue to pay taxes for a safety-net for farmers, to provide enough funds for research; that it determine what industries could located in rural Virginia to capitalize upon a labor-force of part-time farmers. “The market structure is in the process of improving,” Geasler said. “The state government has a strong commitment to agriculture.” The governor supported Mr. Geasler when he concluded his charge to the college, “The watchword for our future can be drawn from our past: Invention. Whether it’s farm finance and credit, or international market development, or farmland, soil and water resource conservation, or research and training programs. . .1 want Virginia to be a model of creativity and deter mined enterprise.” “In the months ahead I plan to make specific recommendations,’ Gov. Baliles said. “I am examining closely major organizational and pro gram changes; they possess the po tential to change dramatically thf way we do business in agricul tore. . .1 intend to unveil, explao and promote a plan of action no late than March 1, 1987.” Be Resourceful.

The students are drawn from 20 states. The Opening Mass will take place at 10 a.m. with the Most Reverend John A. Keating, Bishop of the Diocese of Arlington, serving as main celebrant. New and returning students will be welcomed by Dr. Damian Fedoryka, who is beginning his second year as president of the Catholic four-year liberal arts college. Fedoryka’s first act as president last year was to visit Pope John Paul II in Rome and formally place Christendom College at the service of the Church. Another big opening day event will be the dedication of a new pavilion, to be named in honor of one of Christendom’s most dedicated supporters, John A. McCarty of Waltham, Mass. McCarty, 91, is a graduate of Harvard Law School and a veteran of World Wars I and II. His son, J. Laurence McCarty of McLean, serves on Christendom’s board of directors. The new pavilion, built during the summer, includes a brick barbe cue, picnic tables and lighting. Other improvements to the Christendom campus this year are a brick entrance to the college’s main drive and a basketball court. New faculty appointments for the 1986-87 school year are Dr. Russell Hittinger, appointed dean of students and director of student affairs, and Dr. Timothy O’Donnell, appointed director of student activities. Dr. Hittinger, a native of Virginia, earned his master’s degree and doctorate in philosophy from St. Louis University and began teaching at Christendom in January of this year. Dr. O’Donnell has a master’s degree in history from Loyola Marymount University and an STD degree in theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Major events scheduled for Christendom this year include: • September 10: Lew Lehrman, who nearly defeated Mario Cuomo in the race for governor of New York, will visit the campus. • November 14-15: A conference on the works of Marion Montgomery, a scholar of Southern Literature, will be held. The event will be sponsored by Christendom and the Patterson goes to chem workshop Brion Patterson, who teaches chemistry and physics at Rappahannock County High School, is one of 32 teachers selected from a nationwide pool of candidates to participate in the summer Workshop for Teachers of High School Chemistry at Hollins College, Roanoke.

Serving with her will be William Strider, acting executive director of Planning District 9, vice-president, and Lorraine Robson, owner of Meadowood B and B, secretarytreasurer. The association formed a committee to produce a brochure detailing the area’s attractions. Nan Thomasson, who with her husband Jim owns Heritage House in Washington, suggested that the brochure be done as quickly as possible so that it could be distributed in time for the fall tourist season. Mr. Thomasson proposed that the committee could also work toward a second, more comprehensive version to be produced later. The committee members, Mrs. Thom asson, Mr. Strider, Sandra Cartwright-Brown, Polly Powell, Mrs. Ramsey and Jackie Eisenberg, stressed that an inventory of sightseeing suggestions and activities for each county must be compiled as soon as possible. The association also discussed a fee schedule for membership in the association, and decided on a fee of $35. Members from each county will be responsible for soliciting additional members from their county. A portion of the dues will be used for production of the association’s brochure. Ed Gentry reported that the association’s legal paperwork relating to its incorporation as a non-profit organization had been filed with the state, and that official notification should be received shortly.

Zoning Continued from page 1 the value of residences” due to the commercial zoning. It also does not offer much protection for residences, he added. "It would mean increased costs to the town — maybe make necessary a real estate tax. That’s the goal of the plan — to make sure that people can maintain their homes and not be taxed out." • I.'an St. Clair, owner of the Klacn Kettle restaurant, objected that ’he existing land use map (included m the comprehensive plan) "does not at all correspond to the propo-ed uses in the ordinance, "lot's call residential, residential; commercial, commercial; and industrial. industrial. This is going to cause people a whole lot of trouble. . . the land value goes up, the tax man is going to come and we will have to pa\ taxes on it." Mayor Dean Morehouse responded that the talk about taxes “is wild speculation -— paranoia on someone’s part." Barbara Wood voiced her concern that “the parking problem has not been addressed. Additional development will aggravate the present problems." She added that to envision the town as a craft center in perpetuity will not work. “We don’t hved four zoning categories —we net d a bakery, a tavern, a barber-imp." Mrs. St. Clair agreed. “Any moiie\ that gets saved in taxes gets spent in travelling to get necessities. I i it >n't see how anybody gains by the plan. . the town doesn’t serve the needs of the people.” Mr. Wickens defended the plan, saying that “to zone things blanket commercial — up and down the street without control — would be a huge mistake.” Mr. Reynolds seconded that concern, adding that “the purpose of the plan is to look at the future at outsiders without coni' mr the town. Those who look *1 ’i: v 'o numbers —- if they can make money they will come. They don’t •care about, conforming to the town look." .(’hatjie Eldred rose to object, saying. "The property values and historic district ordinance would male'' 7-11. K-Mart. etc. not come. Tier argument is almost an insult to our intelligence." t ’Laybert Smoot added that “I worked hard all my life to get what I got ! don’t want to be penalized to kot-p people from Leesburg out. You came here (and) we didn’t keep you out." You can Continue doing what you are doing now forever,” Mr. Reynolds replied. 1 an I add on?” Mr. Smoot challenged. referring to his small engine repair business, which is “grandfathered as a non-conforming use under the present ordinance. .

Mrs. Halgren’s committee also arranges for volunteers to host the performer- lot Sunday supper. “grandfather” clause is Wallace Critzer, who operates an excavating business from his property on Middle Street. The "grandfather” clause states that non-conforming uses (use of a property not set out in the provisions of the ordinance, but which was in existance prior to the passage of the ordinance) may continue, and that use may be transferred from present to future owners. Mr. Critzer was represented by his attorney, Douglas Baumgardner, who commended the preamble of the comprehensive plan, which states as its goal the protection of “that which has gone before.” “It’s a preservationist plan, and like the present ordinance, rightly so. But in our zeal to preserve Washington, don’t engage in tactics which in the end will expel residents who have made their whole lives here.” Mr. Critzer added, “I’ve been personally in business for 50 years, and my family for generations. I never pushed or shoved for anything. . . I want ta stay here — to make a living like I always have. I don’t want to be hassled.” Randolph Clater, who served as a member of the planning commission, rose to defend the commission’s work. “I didn’t want the job, now I know why. We’ve done it for the town — not against people. That’s what they’ve got to realize.” C. E. (Skippy) Giles, owner of the Washington Cash Store, questioned the zoning of his property to residential. “I’ve been told tonight that my store is better off in a residential zone — I don’t quite understand that.” Mr. Reynolds replied that “if the ordinance is passed or not it doesn’t affect you, except if the store is 100 percent destroyed you can build it back — you can’t do that now; or, if it is shut down for up to two years, you can start it back up.” Mr. Giles said that he had been told by an appraiser that he would lose 20 percent of the value of the property because of the zoning. Mr. Wickens replied, “I don’t think they read the ordinance. You get everything you need.” Ms. Harris objected, saying, “You are missing the main point of what people are saying. It is the uncertain future that is scary. Our options are limited.” Mrs. St. Clair added that “you say you’ve come to save us —you’ve come to make a lot of trouble for us. You are making problems for people who grew up here, have families, businesses.” Mr. Wickens replied, “The new ordinance does not cancel any existing permits.” Jimmy DeBergh, owner of Harris Hollow Frozen Fruit Co., angrily questioned the proposals: “Who are you to tell us what we want?

You don’t hear — you say ‘we want this, we want that’ — give US what WE want.” J. Newbill Miller, former mayor and council member, said, “This is a perfect example of overzoning (for) more than you demand. Mr. DeBergh wouldn’t have gotten a permit if we thought he was going to do that(propose a retail use for his property). Where do you draw the line? (The town could be) commercial from one end of town to the other. The fact of the matter is there is not enough business in town to support the commercial zones already.” Mayor Morehouse added that “everybody can come to council to go through the rezoning process if they disagree.” “Or go to court,” Dorothy Davis retorted. Jim Thomasson argued that “it’s fairer to the average citizen to make application for a special use permit rather than rezone. Mixed use should contain residences which could potentially be made into businesses. I agree with Nan’s plan.” Mr. Reynolds replied, “It’s a judgement call which areas (are suitable) for what. Spot zoning is a bad idea — we’re not going to do it. The Thomasson plan gives a large block to commercial uses — the commission plan is given to the protection of residential areas around the existing business district.” “I bought into a sleepy village. We are all here because we chose to be here. You are comfortable with rezoning. Camille and Pat are not comfortable with the intricacies of rezoning,” Mr. Thomasson said. Mr. Reynolds again defended the commission’s plan. “There’s (not enough) business to fill the existing commercial area, also no parking, water, sewer, roads. When that area is filled another area which suits the general good — not individual welfare — will be zoned commercial. You cannot approve one property in a mixed use zone and deny another. . . so the uses will spread hodgepodge, instead of filling in the center (of town) and spreading out.” Mr. Miller said that “(I see) history repeating itself — one year ago at the elementary school. (The county) lost momentum and we still don’t have an ordinance. ... if you wait until you know zoning you’ll never get it. This is a good document. . . To have more than four or five properties which could be changed into mixed-use is a mistake. The shops are not doing that well. The Thomasson plan (is a problem with) parking requirements; the soil types on the west side of Main Street are as bad as can be. “I was mayor for 10 years and member of council for two years. . . Not getting a revised zoning ordinance enacted (was) the biggest mistake since I’ve been a public official.” Following a spirited discussion among the council members, Mrs. Thomasson said, “I have a problem in adopting anything. We’ve heard too much — it’s too late to work on it. Both plans need work, but I think we can come to an agreement.” At that point the council, over the objection of Mr. Wickens, voted to defer any decision until the August 20 meeting, to be held at 8 p.m. PLUMBING & HEATING SUPPLIES 32 years experience in helping homeowners with their problems! STANDARD SUPPLY & EQUIPMENT CO. 501 E. Main St., Front Royal, Va. 703-635-4547 Thornton Continued from page 1 Although the May Day program was discontinued, Mrs. Thornton still worked with the schools, that involvement with the county’s youngsters being her favorite part of her job. She helped with physicals at the high school and with the chest Xrays for teachers, critical some years ago when tuberculosis was prevalent in parts of Rappahannock. “There was a time when the children had a lot of head lice, and as soon as we suspected it, we’d holler for Frances, and she’d take care of the outbreak," Mrs. Quaintance remembered. Her duties as public health nurse took her into the homes of the sick and the elderly. “She was always sympathetic and empathetic with older people,” said Dr. R. S. LeGarde, who worked with Mrs. Thornton as area health director. “She’s the kind of person who motivates folks to-do things that are best for themselves.” “She has high standards and real integrity,” added Dr. John Einarson, the last of the nine health directors Mrs. Thornton served under. “She always drove herself hard.” That “driving” became easier in the past few years with the advent of cattle guards, jokingly described by Mrs. Thornton as the biggest improvement in her 36 years as public health nurse. With cattle guards, she no longer had to stop her car every few feet to get out and open and shut gates when she paid home visits, Mrs. Thornton explained. In a more serious vein, she pointed to the reduction in poverty and the increase in living standards as the most important improvements during her service. “Most everyone has electricity and running water now. When I started, very few of the low income families had either.” In the 1950s, Rappahannock people suffered from tuberculosis, polio and typhoid fever, Mrs. Thornton continued. “They’ve disappeared now. I haven’t had a case of tuberculois in six or eight years,” she noted. Their disappearance leaves time for “preventive medicine, which is what public health is all about,” Mrs. Thornton added. That preventive medicine includes well-baby visits, immunization for children against diseases which once were killers, and nutrition programs for mothers-to-be and youngsters. “Parents are more aware, and dental care has improved quite a bit,” Mrs. Thornton said. “Frances always had such an interest in everybody, regardless,” noted Mrs. Quaintance. “She was always so ready and willing to go anywhere to help anybody, and many times she would have to blaze her own trails.” Those characteristics led to the perception of Frances Thornton as THE health department, not just the public health nurse. Dr. LeGarde tells a story to illustrate that point. “When I first went over to Rappahannock, she introduced me to the Board of Supervisors. I told them I was proud to be the new director of the Thornton Health Department, and she was so embarrassed she could have killed me!” the doctor said, chuckling at the memory. “I feel sorry for whoever replaces her,” he continued. “That person will be trying to fill shoes too big for anyone.” “I’m the only nurse that’s been here in Rappahannock, so I can’t blame mistakes on anyone else,” said Mrs. Thornton with characteristic modesty. “I had a job, and I tried to doit.” F antastic Continued from page 1 the 4-H Center and a founder of Special Love, and decided on an international buffet. “If we had a lot of different things, we wouldn’t have to worry about settling on something that everybody liked,” Jim pointed out.

Individuals have offered cash donations to pay for the bratwurst and for more of the trinkets, candies and little surprises to be stuffed into traditional Mexican birthday favors. “And we’ll be calling other clubs and businesses this week to see if they want to offer assistance,” Jim noted. But Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic won’t end with dinner. “I knew that the kids would love a special meal, but I knew there was something else they’d like better — a rock ’n’ roll band!” Jim said. “We had a dance almost every night at last year’s camp, and the rock ’n’ roll night was a favorite. The kids loved it.” The sophomore from Virginia Commonwealth University decided I to contact local musicians. The first call was to Julie Coon, singer with a revolving group of the county’s finest rock artists. “I didn’t have to make a second call,” Jim said. “Julie promised a band.” Jim is excited about introducing more people from Rappahannock to the magic that is Camp Fantastic and Special Love. “It isn’t just the campers who say this is the most wonderful week of their lives. It’s everyone —campers, counselors, staff and volunteers,” he concluded.
