Developer advocates TDRs to shape growth By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer >, “Growth is inevitable. The only if thing you can do is plan for where and how growth will occur,” James J. Wilson, a prominent Washington area developer, told the members of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection at their annual meeting Friday night. Mr. Wilson added that “if the community doesn’t decide (where growth occurs), the developers will - and that decision may not be in the community’s best interests.” Describing Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) as “a dynamic tool” to shape development and preserve open spaces, Mr. Wilson urged that Piedmont counties band together to pressure the state legislature to enact enabling legislation so that the TDR concept can be used to steer development in counties like Rappahannock, before the development pressures become intense. Traditionally, if a developer wished to subdivide at a density greater than the land’s zoning allowed, he applied to the government to have the area rezoned to the higher density. For example, if the developer held title to land zoned for residential development on one acre lots, he might apply to have the land rezoned to a density of three units per acre (one-third acre lots). If the rezoning was granted, the developer could build three houses on every acre, instead of the one house he had been entitled to construct when he originally purchased the land. Thus, Mr. Wilson maintained, the government had, in effect, tripled the value of the land owned by the developer. The increase in value stems from the fact that more housing units could be built on each parcel of land, and more money could be made from the sale of those units on smaller lots once the development was completed. And, he added, the government had gotten nothing in return for the additional profit which the developer would realize as a result of the rezoning and subdivision. Although the process just described has been the primary route of, development throughout the country for many years, “Anyone who designs a game that dumb ought to have his head examined,” Mr. Wilson observed. The TDR concept Transfer of development rights, a new concept in land use planning, can work in several ways, Mr. Wilson explained. The basic idea, as with current practice, gives each zoning area a maximum housing density. However, a developer who wants to exceed that density does Continued on page 16 Three vie for commissioner’s post , Beverly S. Atkins, Phillip L. Smith and Mollie Dennis Welch are all seeking the Commissioner of Revenue’s position, in the only contested political race in the county this year. The Commissioner of Revenue is a constitutional officer, elected by the voters of the county. The revenue office, which is overseen by the commissioner, is responsible for recording and processing information relating to taxes, land transfers, land-use oversight, gathering and conveying financial information to the Board of Supervisors, and serving as a liaison between the citizens of Rappahannock and the state tax department. During “tax time” the commissioner’s office assists taxpayers with questions or problems related to the Virginia state income tax regulations and forms. The office staff is required to check each state return as it is filed to make sure that it is properly completed. The commissioner’s office is also responsible for updating the county’s tax maps, and all transfers, building permits, and changes of address must be noted by the office on the property cards which supplement the tax maps. As one former commissioner observed, “In a small county like Rappahannock . . . the commissioner’s office ... is frequently contacted for any purpose in connection with any type of taxation . . . The people who work in the office are known as the ‘tax people’, and are considered to be more or less consultants on all tax matters.” Beverly S. Atkins, presently serving as interim commissioner, was appointed by the Circuit Court last year to serve until this special election following the resignation of the previous commissioner. Prior to her appointment as commissioner, she had served as deputy commissioner for four and a half years. Ms. Atkins said that “it’s been a long, hard campaign. I’ve enjoyed meeting and talking with people. I have enjoyed working as commissioner, and I hope to continue serving the public as commissioner if I’m elected.” She added that she plans to run the office “in the same efficient manner as in the past, and that I will try to be responsive to the questions or needs of taxpayers, and assist them in any way that I can.” Phillip L. Smith, of Huntly, said that “I’m pleased to have had the opportunity to meet so many Rappahannock County residents, and I look forward to working for them as commissioner if elected.” Mr. Smith majored in accounting in college, and served 10 years in the Marine Corps. He has also taken “several continuing education courses,” as well as BEVERLY S. ATKINS PHILLIP L. SMITH MOLLIE D. WELCH two courses in real estate. Mr. Smith commented that “I’ve been received warmly everywhere I have been, and I found the campaign to be a very pleasant experience. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to listen to me, and all those who have offered their opinions and support.” Mollie Dennis Welch, of Flint Hill, is the third candidate in the race. She served for one year as a deputy commissioner of revenue. She also has five years bookkeeping experience, as well as having spent two years as an administrative assistant in the Agricultural Conservation and Stabilization office. Mrs. Welch said that “each phase of work that this job entails is what I enjoy doing, and I feel that enjoying your work means that the job will be Continued on page 16 Poll hours, locations The Office of the Registrar of Voters for Rappahannock County listed the following locations for voting in Tuesday’s election: --Washington: Courthouse. --Amissville: Amissville fire hall. -Sperryville: Sperryville fire hall. -Scrabble: Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. - Flint Hill: Flint Hill fire hall. -Chester Gap: Chester Gap fire hall.

Mr. Von Fange has operated his Mountain Cabinet Shop in Woodville for four years from a building on Route 522 that has been in commercial use, on and off, for 150 years. It was first a cabinet shop, then a general store, village post office and gas station. The store closed in 1947. For several decades, the building was the district polling site and more recently, it was used for farm supply storage by owner H. B. Wood. “I never realized I needed a permit,” said Mr. Von Fange, adding that he painted and cleaned the old brick structure in 1982 “and started woodworking.” Mr. and Mrs. Sakalaucks, whose home is only some 30 feet from the furniture shop, recently raised the question of whether Mr. Von Fange had the necessary zoning approvals for his business. Their inquiries led to the zoning administrator’s directive for a special use permit. (Rappahannock’s current zoning ordinance allows cabinet shops in village residential business districts by special use permit.) At Wednesday’s hearing, Mr. and Mrs. Sakalaucks stressed that they did not oppose issuance of the special use permit to Mr. Von Fange. “But for the public benefit, we’re asking for conditions,” explained their attorney, Frank Reynolds. Herbert Sakalaucks noted that Mr. Von Fange opened his shop several months after they moved in next door, but that initially, the business took up just one floor of the building. It is recent expansion that has created problems, he said. Conditions sought by the Sakalaucks focused on: • Restrictions on the hours that planers, sanders, routers and other noisy machinery are used. • Controls on noxious odors. • Prohibition of lumber storage and furniture display in front of the shop. • Adequate fire protection. Pointing out the letters of endorsement received from other residents of Woodville who live near the shop, the cabinet maker told the BZA that problems arose when he objected to his neighbors’ parking practices. In the very narrow rightof-way between their residence and the woodworking shop, the Sakalaucks had parked their van, sedan and station wagon “three abreast, rather than being neighborly and putting them in a line,” Mr. Von Fange said. After he complained that his three employees couldn’t get to the shop’s rear parking lot, “two days later, I got a note from the zoning administrator (regarding the missing permit for the furniture making business). . . The important thing here is that the right-of-way belongs to nobody. It can’t be blocked. It is a road . . . That’s what this whole thing stems from,” Mr. Von Fange maintained. He conceded that his equipment is “all noisy, very noisy . . . There’s no denying that the planer is very i—■ loud . . . whining, very irritating.” Although he maintained that a storage shed between the shop and the Sakalaucks’ residence served as a “noise barrier,” he agreed to limit hours when noise producing machinery is used to between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. As to complaints about odors from lacquer and paint, Mr. Von Fange said he plans to move that phase of his business across the street and would do so within the 30day limit suggested by the BZA as a permit condition. But Mr. Von Fange balked at the restrictions on lumber storage and requirements for meeting “all applicable fire and safety codes.” The Sakalaucks maintained that the lumber stacked under the overhang in front of the shop interfered with sight distance and thus posed a hazard for vehicles attempting to pull out onto Route 522 from the alley between the shop and their house. In addition, from an aesthetic standpoint, they complained about the appearance of a lumber pile covered with a huge blue tarp. The cabinet maker countered that the wood pile is attractive. As to the traffic hazard question, he contended “it’s clearly crazy to say that it blocks sight.” The lumber is stored under an overhang where gas pumps once stood and the pile doesn’t extend past the posts which support the roof, he noted, arguing against even a limitation on the height of the lumber stack. “It’s a place to park a car. If I can park a van there, it’s certainly my right to store lumber there ... I see no problem with lumber blocking the line of sight, or I’d get rid of it!” Asked by BZA member Gregory Monahan for an estimate on the traffic his business generates, Mr. Von Fange reported that he has a showroom in Sperryville where he displays and sells -his furniture. “So essentially the traffic to our shop is very limited.” However, in contesting a restriction against furniture display along the highway, Mr. Von Fange argued for putting his tables out in front of the Woodville shop. “All the apple stands in Sperryville put their products out... I want to show that it’s a cabinet shop. I want to attract tourists,” he said. “A cabinet shop should certainly have the right to display its wares.” I he BZA determined that the overhang at the front of the old general store extends into the right-ofway of Route 522. James Swindler pointed out that highway department regulations preclude displays on the right-of-way. But the BZA members agreed by consensus that the old store is exempt from this regulation as a non-conforming structure. They did restrict parking at the shop’s front to delivery vehicles and encouraged Mr. Von Fange to persuade drivers to pull their trucks off the highway when dropping off wood. They also limited furniture display to the Culpeper side of the building, keeping at least 25 feet from the highway’s center line to avoid infringing on the right-ofway. While agreeing that relocation of painting operations would reduce the threat of fire, Mr. Sakalaucks still asked that the furniture maker be directed to clean up the sawdust that has accumulated under the storage shed. “With a building full of wood, you may have spontaneous combustion,” he maintained, adding Continued on page 5 W ' . .. •.

Korea: land of the morning calm By MARIA ROEMER Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Rice paddies, temples, Buddhism, imperial palaces, Confucianism, kimchi, kung-fu, silk. These are some of the things that come to my mind when I think about my native country. My native land - but a land that I hardly knew or remembered until last September, when I was able to go back to Korea and visit my parents and to seek out my roots. I hardly knew what to expect on my first visit back to Korea. I had not been there since 1976 and having no contact with Korea for almost 10 years I had forgotten everyting that I knew before I came to the United. States: the language, customs, religion. I was very enthusiastic about re-leaming all I could during my stay there. I had many notions about what Korea would be like. Part of me was hoping that Korea would be similar to the U. S. in the way of living and facilities; but the other, stronger part was hoping for an ancient, traditional Korea of the past century. The first thing that I saw of Korea was a ricefield just before we landed at the airport in Seoul. It was the last thing that I expected to see jpst before landing. But, upon seeing it I was immediately reminded of being in Korea. Landing at the airport, on the other hand, was a disappointment. It was so usual! I don’t know what I was wishing for but this very modem building was not a part of my ancient Korea. One of my first impressions of Korea was that I looked just like everyone else. I was so used to being different in appearance in America, but in Korea nobody ever stared at me. Except, that is, when I was either trying to speak English to a non-English speaking Korean or attempting to speak my then very broken Korean to a native. At first I was a bit dejected because I was not different in appearance, but later I realized that by having the same features I felt I actually belonged in Korea. After I realized that I did belong in Korea I realized that my American way of thinking, my customs, even my clothing did NOT belong in Korea. Correction In an article by contributing writer H. W. Holschuh about the Literacy Volunteers of America pro-, gnun in Rappahannock, which appeared in the October 9 issue of the Rappahannock News, it was stated that Lyle Foster learned to do many things for himself “after his wife died...” Mrs. Foster is, in fact, still alive.

AFFORDABLE HOME OWNERSHIP It’s no secret that young couples may have a tough time meeting monthly mortgage costs for today’s single family homes. However, there are ways to reduce the monthly carrying costs and still be happy homeowners. For example, you' could buy a condominium unit. You could also rehab an older home in need of repair (fixer-up special), or you could buy, occupy and manage a small multifamily house. There is also the option of joint ownership with parents as co-owners. If you prefer to invest in a single family house now, you may wish to consider financing via a Graduated Payment Mortgage (GPM). GPM’s are tailored to the income needs of younger couples whose income is expected to increase over the years. GPM monthly payments increase as the buyers’ monthly income increases. The bottom line is that there are many affordable home ownership situations with lower monthly carrying costs for younger buyers to consider in today’s market.

We’re here to help. MARIA ROEMER By then I was totally confused: feeling like I physically belonged, but was mentally different. So, I decided to try to forget about my American ways and submerge myself into the Korean; which I soon found out was easier said than done! Going home While trying to find out who I was and how I could make myself a part of Korea, I was making many new friends. It wasn’t hard meeting people, because from the minute I arrived at my hometown there were many curious people coming to my parents’ home and looking at me as if I were an exhibit at some museum of foreign objects. After the initial shock of seeing my hometown again I met many people who had known me when I. was a little baby in Korea. It was weird for me to meet people who knew me so well and remembered me, but I didn’t remember them at all. Not even my parents, whom I knew only from pictures they had sent, but which gave me no idea of what kind of people they were. I felt so bad and angry at myself for not remembering them. My first “conversations” with my “old” acquaintances were mostly one-sided: they would talk to me in Korean and ask me many questions and I would just sit and smile and nod my head like I knew just what they were talking about. I think my permanent smile marks are a result of that time. After 1 could speak a little Korean, (I learned a lot faster than an average American would have learned because I had once spoken Korean very well when I was a ch#d) I had many interesting conversa tions, mostly with the kids I had grown up with. They were very inquisitive about America and its customs. I had many arguments with them trying to defend the U. S. while still trying to be on the Korean side. I found that many of them had misconceptions about the U. S. They thought of Americans as care-free, fun-loving, partying, shallow people who had huge houses, a couple of cars and a lot of money. Some of that is true, but then there are the other Americans who, besides the difference in customs, are very much like Koreans. After all, even though they have different customs, people are the same all over the world. Trying to tell this to my friends, however, was like talking to a brick wall. I hope that now they understand Americans better. While they learned a lot of new things from me, I learned a lot from them. America and Korea are extremely different when it comes to schooling, private home-life, elders and boy-girl relationships. While talking to my friends, I found out about their school system. ivaucauon The schools are run by the government and the school has almost complete rule over the kids, even extending into private life. First, boys and girls are pretty much separated from the age of seven. Almost all the schools are not co-ed. You might find ONE co-ed school in a large town, but even there the boys and girls are in separate classes. Not only are they separated in school, but they are also pretty much segregated outside of school. So, obviously there is really no dating. I did find out that many boys and girls meet by getting together as a group, but not by themselves. The Korean school system goes to the twelfth grade, as in the United States, but the division of the grades is different. Elementary school is grades one through six, middle school is seven through nine, and high school is grades 10 to 12. For high school students school hours are from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. They have classes from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and from 6 to 10 p.m. there is s study period which all students musl attend. After high school some students go to college.

Local departments of welfare and social services will accept applications for fuel assistance from November 1 through February 28, 1987, or until available funds are depleted. Income limits for Rappahannock County residents are $6,700 for one person and $14,628 for a household of four. Also, about $1.3 million of the federal grant has been set aside for use in an energy crisis assistance component of the Fuel Assistance Program. Eligible households experiencing heating or cooling emergencies may receive up to $400 in energy crisis assistance in addition to fuel assistance. 1 Additionally, about $4.4 million 1 of the federal grant will go to the : Virginia Weatherization Program to 1 weatherize homes of low-income families. The weatherization of homes has resulted in long-term sav ings on heating costs. Households applying for fuel assistance must verify the income of all household members. Types of acceptable verification include wage records, Social Security award letters, and income tax returns. Households will also need to verify cash resources such as savings accounts, checking accounts, and other specific resources for all household members. Types of acceptable verification include recent bank statements or deposit books. Limits for cash resources are $3,000 for households that include a person 60 and over or disabled and $1,500 for households with no members 60 and over or disabled. All fuel assistance applications will be processed within 30 days. If a household is found eligible for fuel assistance, a notice will be provided, indicating the maximum fuel assistance available for the household. The actual amount of assistance alloted to each household will be based on income, household size, fuel used, whether the household lives in subsidized housing, and geographic area . of state. Eligible households living ir 1 subsidized housing and roomers renting only one room will receive a lower benefit than other households. Fuel bills are submitted to the household’s local social service agency by the vendor or household. Households using wood or coal will generally receive the payment directly. In most cases, payments are made directly to the fuel vendor until the total amount of the household’s fuel benefit has been used or until the ending date for deliveries or services on April 15, 1987. When a household has used all of its benefits, or at the end of the fuel year, each household will be notified by the state of all payments made to a fuel vepdor on the household’s behalf. During last year’s program, 114,400 Virginia households received help with their heating bills. The average fuel assistance grant was $307, with maximum of $461.

If history is ! any indication, this non-presidential election will elicit a voter ; turnout somewhat below 50 percent. That is a statistic which should give every citizen reason ; for concern. There is no more important right of citizenship than the : right to vote. Our democracy was founded on the concept of “one man, one vote” - every vote counting equally, regardless of wealth, social position or any other factor. It ; means that, literally, the majority rules. But the system works only when everyone participates. Certainly, cynicism about the powerlessness of the individual has worked, in recent years, to disenchant people with the political process. But this is a self-fulfilling prophesy. The : more people who believe they are powerless, and choose not to participate, the more rapidly the system fails. Only by faith in the system of citizen participation, in the power of the vote, can true representative government be ; reestablished. To put it another way, if you don’t participate, : don’t complain. • Local elections, in many respects, are more important : than the highly publicized national contests. Local officials * make decisions which affect most people more directly than \ those edicts handed down from Washington or Richmond. •• Shouldn’t you allow your voice to be heard? The process of ; electing representatives is too important to be left to the other guy. » Exercise your right to vote on Tuesday. I » r. r. The Reagan Revolution -I By SEN. EUGENE MCCARTHY Rappahannock News Contributinf Writer For nearly five years, I have •; been reading and hearing of the Rear’ gan Revolution. Somewhat uncritit; cally and unreflectively I accepted '» the word of editors, columnists, and *1 Republican politicians that such a revolution was taking place, al*! though I could not identify clear signs of revolutionary change or identify a revolutionary theme, or J* even a slogan. Defense expenditures continued to rise, as they had during the administrations of five previous Presir] dents. The rate of increase under I; Reagan was somewhat higher than t it had been, but that change was ;: scarcely revolutionary. The national ;! debt continued to rise, as it had un\der previous administrations. The \ rise was much more rapid than it had V been, but the change was quantitative, rather than substantive. Revolutionary changes usually involve substantive matters. The rate of in% flation had gone down from the high [l of the Carter administration, but leveled off well above what the rate had been in the 1950s and ’60s. Inijterest rates had declined from the *,<high of the Carter period, but inter>est rates, on the record, have been £ variable without being revolution^ary. \ me neagan administration was •!not unique in the integrity or lack of i;it. Conflicts of interest reared their '.‘small ugly heads. There was trouble ;*in the Environmental Protection Agency, the Labor Department and ^elsewhere. Unemployment re;Imained high, in the range of seven •^percent. Agriculture was depressed. ^Summit conferences came and went !*without significant results. The first I-lady has a special project, drug use ;*and abuse. Other first ladies have \had comparable projects, such as •! mental retardation. Jimmy Carter *;did not have a dog in the White !; House, but Richard Nixon, Carter’s .■♦predecessor, did have several dogs, ;‘and Jerry Ford had at least one, a ;Igolden retriever. President Reagan i'did as no other recent President had vdone, change dogs in midterm, when .' the Bouvier de Flanders, a cow ^herding dog, was relegated to the ^California ranch, and a King Charles ‘ispaniel, a gift from William F. Buckley, installed as the White House Ijlog. President Carter had installed in *a magnolia tree adjacent to the rose garden, with the purpose of driving ♦starlings away from the White .'House, a device which electronically ^reproduced the sound of a startled and frightened starling. According to one reporter, the device was replaced by Mr. Reagan with an imitation snake, a creationist’s approach to driving off birds. Neither of these changes, in my opinion, could be sufficient to sustain a “Reagan Revolution.” I looked to ideas for an explanation, reviewing slogans of the American Revolution. Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death,” did not seem applicable. Nor did Nathan Hale’s “My only regret <is that I have but one life to give for my country.” Then I hit upon it. The Reagan Revolution is an extension and new application of James Otis’s declaration “Taxation without representation is tyranny.” Actually, the taxation which Otis decried was not so heavy. But it was imposed by the King and his ministers. Taxation with representation was tolerated, with only minor protest, from the times of the Revolution until after the adoption of the Federal income tax. And even that tax was accepted with only minor protest until after World War II. When, in the 1950s and ’60s, Republicans began to complain that “Taxation with representation (if the Representatives were Democrats) was, if anything, worse than what taxation without representation had been,” they stopped short of saying that “taxation with representation is tyranny.” And now we come to the Reagan administration. Annual deficits in the federal budget are running in the range of 200 billion dollars a year. The national debt is approximately two trillion dollars, with the likelihood that before the effects of the Reagan policies have run their course, it may be three trillion dollars. In the face of these realities, the president refuses to support any tax increases and insisted that the recently passed tax bill be revenue neutral, that is, he allowed changes in the tax laws, but only if the net effect was not to raise tax revenue. And he boasted, as did other politicians, that the new tax bill exempted six million persons from obligation to pay income taxes. The key to the Reagan Revolution must be that if ‘Taxation without representation is tyranny,” and taxation with representation approaches tyranny, then the ideal Democratic society is one in which there is “Representation without taxation.” Rappahannock Heritage v A TRACTOR SHED and bam on a farm in Castleton. Cindy Mahan for the Rappahannock News J Letters to the editor A request for facts To the editor: According to a recent front page news story in your paper, headlined “School Board Readies Outlay Case,” the chairman of our School Board stated, ‘To sell this project (the $1.43 million high school expansion project) we’ve got to have documented proof!” The chairman then listed some items of factual information which must be .provided.to the supervisors arid to the tax-paying; public to enlfet their support for the expansion project, such as high school enrollment, census data, current accreditation standards, course offerings, and State mandates. “We have got to be prepared with these answers,” she stated correctly. In fact, it would have been more correct to have had these answers before spending county money for architect’s fees and applying for a Literary Fund Loan. Her fellow board members noted (also correctly) that spiralling tax rates and a declining student enrollment will be at issue but nevertheless supported a PR campaign to “sell” the new basketball superdome building project. At the same meeting a School Board member pointed out that high school expansion plans had been side-tracked for 10 years but did not give the reasons why. Among these were: a constantly declining school population in this county, the inability or unwillingness of the School Board to provide and publish data to justify building expansion (only a generalized cry for “quality education” which no one could define precisely), the temporary suspension of Literary Fund Loans under Governor Robb, and the inclusion in aborted plans of such items as a greenhouse which were considered by both supervisors and the public as frivolous and ridiculous in this county. (Does a new 750-seat basketball gymnasium fall into this category?) While on the School Board I repeatedly stated, “Justify our plans with facts and I’ll vote for it!” The justifying facts were not forthcoming and neither was my vote or that of anyone else. But now we are promised justifying facts. That was a month ago and I’ve not seen them yet in your newspaper although this whole project is said to be critical and urgent. The School Board has a “hard sell” as it fully regliz^. Maybe the following partial* data' outline will help the board to focus its attention on the items which need to be covered to be convincing and persuasive: 1. School Enrollment: a) The number of high school students for each of the past 10 years (to indicate the historical trend). b) The number of students in each of the elementary grades this year, including kindergarten (to indicate the expected future high school enrollment). c) The Superintendent’s reductio ad absurdum argument that the high school expansion project “has nothing to do with enrollment” is public relations in reverse! It undermines the school district’s credibility. No one in this county believes it, not even the School Board members. Fairfax County, operating in the same state and under the same mandates and standards as we, gives actual increased school population as the sole reason for its multi-million dollar school construction plan for which a bond issue will be voted up or down next month. 2. An updated price tag for the project: The superintendent’s figures indicate that the proposed Literary Fund Loan will be for $1,431,040. If updated cost figures exceed this amount (probable), whence comes the difference? The county’s General Fund? A new and larger loan application? A reduced building project? The supervisors and the taxpayers should know in advance how the board proposes to handle this sticky wicket. The total, cumulative debt service (principal and interest) should be given for the 20 years. 3. Future population numbers: Basis and authority for future projections should be spelled out in detail if they are to be convincing. Bill Oliver may not believe we face a stabilized county population but the supervisors and our environmentally-minded residents are doing everything they can to prevent development and growth beyond the 6,000 we now have. Family lifestyles are a factor also. 4. Accreditation Standards and Standard of Quality: A detailed list of those standards which specifically and directly require more space. For example, which standard requires us to have a 750-seat basketball superdome? 5. Course offerings and course “takings”: To gain an education, it is more important to take a course (and pass it) than just to be offered it. How many students are required to take and pass a physics and/or chemistry course to graduate? How many are now taking these courses, necessitating a lab for hands-on experiments? Pre-calculus at RCHS (a course readily available in first year of college) for only six or seven students is one of the most inane ideas ever developed by a past School Board. I certainly don’t feel this way about high school physics and chemistry courses, including lab courses. 6. State mandates requiring more space at RCHS: A complete list of such mandates for which the state has refused, in writing, to grant a waiver for Rappahannock County. If the School Board will publish this information under its responsibility for accuracy, it may yet win its case in the court of public opinion but I remain to be convinced, along with others. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill The Commonwealth’s rights: striking a balance of justice By MARY SUE TERRY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer We often complain about criminals escaping punishment for their crimes because of “technicalities,” or loopholes in the law. They disgust us, they offend our sense of fairness, and they shake our faith in the criminal justice system. Just as often, we feel powerless to do anything about them. But now, we have an opportunity to strike at least a small blow for justice for society. We have an opportunity to narrow a loophole, if not to close it. An amendment to the Virginia Constitution will be presented for your consideration on the November ballot to give our prosecutors a limited right to appeal judges’ decisions in felony cases. Let me explain why we need this tool: As the law stands now, if a de-. fense lawyer is able before a trial to convince the judge that a statute is unconstitutional, the defendant goes free. The Commonwealth’s Attorney has no right to ask an appeals court to review that judge’s decision. And if a defense lawyer convinces a judge before the trial that evidence was seized illegally or in violation of his client’s right against self-incrimination, that judge’s decision represents the final word: The prosecutor cannot ask a higher court to reverse the decision. Again, the defendant goes free. Our system of justice bends over backward to protect the rights of the accused. And that’s the way it should be. But there is such a thing as bending too far, and certainly society’s rights deserve protection, as well. The question on the ballot asks, “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended so that the state may be given a right to appeal certain preliminary dismissals and exclusions of evidence in felony cases?” If the voter’s answer is in the affirmative our prosecutors - society’s lawyers - will have the opportunity to have these judge’s decisions reviewed by higher courts. And fewer criminals may go free. Adoption of this amendment will not infringe upon the rights of defendants. Prosecutors still won’t be able to appeal verdicts, as defendants can and do. Instead, the Commonwealth’s Right of Appeal amendment will balance of the scales of justice, helping to level the playing field for both the accused and society. This amendment also will strengthen our law enforcement agencies, heightening their morale and enabling them to do a better job. I hope you will join me on November 4th in supporting this amendment. After all, isn’t it the time for society - and this Commonwealth - to assert its own rights? ‘Arrest’ a success ro the editor: I would like to express the appreciation of the board members of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association to the many people of this county who contributed talent, time and funds for the recent “Cardiac Arrest” program. The arrestees were released on bail generously provided by friends and families. ' -:. Ray Cannon related that his granddaughter, Ashleigh, really thought that he was going to be kept in jail, and tearfully gave her own money to free him. Jim Thomasson candidly admitted that some of his university students were reluctant to contribute, saying that they could enjoy his confinement. Senator Eugene McCarthy came through with his own bail, judging that the jailhouse air would not be good for his heart. We are particularly grateful for the excellent news coverage given by Lou Hatter and the Rappahannock News staff. In addition to our appreciation for the above participants, we would like to say thanks to Doug Baumgardner, Diane Bruce, Randolph Clater, Marie Davis, Robert Eastham, Charles Estes, Bill Fletcher, Jennings Hobson III, David Konick, Richard Latham. Mayor Dean Morehouse, Sheriff John Henry Woodward, and to all who contributed to this important effort. BETTY WEBB Amissville Misleading information To the editor: I would like to clarify the statements that were made in the political ad the week of October 23. I fear that despite the candidate’s intelligence and education, certain statements appearing in the paper may have been misleading to the recipient as well as the voters of Rappahannock County. To try to set the record straight: the Constitutional officers work closely with the Board of Supervisors in preparing statistics to help the supervisors render decisions. All of the Constitutional officers have always’ worked very closely with their surrounding counties and each and every Constitutional officer (both past and present) belongs to their own statewide association. The numerous seminars that are offered and that we attend help keep us abreast of the changing laws that affect each individual office. BEVERLY S. ATKINS Washington Call 675-3338 to subscribe

BZA Continued from page 1 that a match flicked by a passing motorist could also ignite the sawdust. In addition, he sought a requirement that a fully charged hose be run to the shop — which has no water or plumbing - and that Mr. Von Fange be ordered to comply with fire and other safety regulations. Sawdust has been sprinkled under the wood storage shed in the alley to keep down weed growth, Mr. Von Fange replied. A charged water hose running approximately 300 feet from his house to the shop would freeze in winter, he contended. “I don’t want the chief fire marshal visiting my shop or any other shop in Rappahannock, because whatever he limits me to, you all will have to be limited to also,” Mr. Von Fange told the BZA, noting that the courthouse meeting room, the high school and other public buildings have no sprinkler systems. An inspection by the state fire marshal would be “dangerous to the entire county,” he maintained. If compliance with “all applicable health and safety codes is taken literally, every community building and business in Rappahannock would have to be closed and locked up,” Mr. Von Fange said. “We could have a witch hunt here. Going with all health and safety codes would be totally ridiculous.” Since the Planning Commission’s recommendation two weeks ago, Mr. Von Fange noted, three fire extinguishers have been put in the shop. The BZA directed that “appropriate fire extinguishers” be installed and maintained, directing Mr. Von Fange to be sure he has the proper number and type. The furniture maker also agreed to install a smoke detector in the wood storage shed in the alley next to the Sakalaucks’ residence. (Zoning administrator John McCarthy noted during Wednesday’s hearing that the county’s building inspector has already written the fire marshal’s office in Alexandria, requesting an inspection of Mountain Cabinet Shop. He advised the BZA against singling out one set of state regulations and specifying that those regulations must be met as a condition of a special use permit. Besides, Mr. McCarthy pointed out, the county’s zoning ordinance already specifies that permit holders must meet all requirements of law. Failure to do so is grounds f6r permit revocation, he added.) With the conditions defined in three hours of discussion, the BZA members voted unanimously to grant Mr. Von Fange’s special use permit for both the woodworking shop next door to the Sakalaucks’ residence and a furniture painting station across the street. “We’re trying to dispel the concerns of the Sakalaucks without unduly hampering Mr. Von Fange’s operation,” the chairman noted. A second special use permit on the agenda for last Wednesday’s meeting took no mediation. The only neighbor at the public hearing voiced unqualified approval for Mary Payne’s application for a second dwelling on a 148-acre farm on Route 729. Mrs. Payne told the BZA that she planned to build a single story, three-bedroom house in a patch of woods near her current twostory home “in the event I someday can’t handle the stairs where we live now ... In the meantime, we’ll rent (the second house). We hope we can attract someone who could help us on the farm.” Election Day schedule closes offices Tuesday, Election Day, is a state holiday.

School r Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter The kindergarten and pre-kindergarten classes at Wakefield School were busy last week making “Ghostbusters” to sell to raise money for projects and equipment. Working intently, from left, are Allison Langfitt, aide Toni Updike, Erica Braddock, Molly Haxton, Molly Jones, Justin Updike, pre-kindergarten teacher Paula Campbell and Lauren Daugherty. The Halloween treats will be sold in the school lunchroom this week. Pre-schoolers learn economics BY PAULA CAMPBELL Rappahannock News Contributing Writer (Ed. note: Paula Campbell is a teacher in the pre-kindergarten pro gram at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. Along with Karan Rodgers, who teaches kindergarten age children, she has devised some unique programs to teach young children basic concepts. “Ghostbusters” is an example of a project in economics. The Halloween treats will be sold at a booth in the school lunchroom, complete with “ghostbusters” theme music). Two years ago, in a group discussion, I asked the children “Where does money come from?” “From daddy’s pocket,” volunteered a fouryear-old. “From the bank,” a more experienced voice offered.” The next day we began our economics program. i arned the value of moneyruslng real coins, not pictures or cardboard. “Make 25 cents by using three coins,” we’ll ask. Yes! They can do it! The children learn to county by fives and 10s. They add, subtract and reason by meeting the challenge. A store is opened that “sells” real products: tuna fish, socks and notebook paper, to name a few items. The stock is marked at its actual retail price and is purchased with American coins. We have had kindergarten students purchase three items at a time - which requires adding three two-digit numbers, counting out money well in excess of $2 and figuring the change. During this time coins from other countries are displayed. We discuss the making of coins and the Federal Reserve System. The children bring to class items made in foreign countries: a teddy bear, watches, food. We locate the producing country on our map and discuss the climate, people and geography of the area. Then we speculate on how the item arrived in the United States. “Would you transport a snowmobile made in Canada by airplane? Would you sell it in Florida?” are among the questions the children consider. We also consider the goods produced in the United States and exported. Children have brought in wheat, peanuts, cotton, apples, Coke, cars and even Levi’s jeans. “Where do you want to export your wheat?” To the Soviet Union? “Will the people buy it? Why can’t they grow their own? How will you get it there?” All of these questions must be answered. Every year the children set up a manufacturing operation. They create a product such as April Fool bags, May baskets and this year ‘Ghostbusters.” Raw materials must be ordered, advertising plans made and assembly lines set up. The cutters measure string exactly 12 inches long or cut lollipops in units of two. Other children carefully wrap the lollipops with white tissue and tie a string near the base to make a ghost: j Finally the ghost receives a scary black Magic Marker face, and is then placed with the finished goods. It’s no small operation; we'll make 400 ghostbusters. The price was established at 25 cents after 99 cents and 50 cents were voted down. “Because most of the kids come to school with a quarter for milk,’’ advised one student. The market is always in the lunch room and the children do the selling after the sale. Hundreds of quarters are carefully counted. Expenses are paid, the project is realized and the serious business of spending the money is at hand. Ideas are discussed and dismissed. One child wants a slide, another basketball hoops, a whole group in the comer wants a swimming pool. We narrow it down to two choices and then vote. The children have purchased a computer, basketball hoops and gym equipment. This year they want a work bench with real tools. The whole project sounds time consuming and complicated but it’s not. We spend about an hour a day working in this program. It ties together and gives application to our math, handwriting, geography and concentration thinking programs.

Rappahannock Journal • Farm • Business • Garden Rural life Fall tips for gardens By BIRGITT THORNHILL Rappahannock News Contributing Writer • House plants will slow down growth as the days get shorter and light intensity is reduced. This means that they will need less frequent watering and fertilizing until next spring. Too much of either in the winter months can cause weak growth. • A great deal of winter losses is the result of plants being allowed to become dry during this season. This is especially true of evergreens because they hold their leaves and lose water all during the winter. If the weather is at all dry, water right up to the time when the ground freezes hard. • Do not become alarmed if your yews, pines, arborvitae and junipers begin to shed their innermost needles. It is natural for them to do so at this time of year. • As you plant spring bulbs, remember that a mass planting of one flower type or color will produce a better effect than a mixture of many colors. Flowers of bulbs stand out more vividly if displayed against a contrasting background: for example, white hyacinths among English ivy, yellow daffodils against a “Burford” holly hedge, or red tulips towering over a carpet of yellow pansies. • A lily bulb is never dormant; it must be planted as soon as it is received Have beds prepared ahead of time. • Allow a few of the seeds of your favorite delphinium and hollyhock to ripen on their stalks. When mature, plant the seeds at once in a garden bed where they will grow into husky little plants that winter well. • Cure pumpkins, butternut and Hubbard squash at temperatures between 70-80-degrees F for two to three weeks immediately after harvest. After curing, store them in a dry place at 55-60 degrees F. If stored at 50 degrees F or below, pumpkins and squashes are subject to damage by chilling. At temperatures above 60 degrees F, they gradually lose moisture and become stringy. Musqvarna s numper one selling cnain saw just got better.

The afternoon’s program was about the annual Environmental Education Skills Workshop offered by the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs at its Nature Camp in the George Washington National Forest. Three RCGC members who attended the workshop (Mrs. Joseph Nordone, Mrs. Frank Gannon and Mrs. George Sharp) reported on the workshop and its goals, techniques and concepts. The goal of this workshop is to help individuals develop the skills and motivation to interact with their environment at many different levels. Primary activities were participating in collecting, recording and interpreting information about different parts of the environment and then applying these interpretations by analyzing physical, social and economic impacts on the environment in a variety of situations.

MADISON RD., ORANGE * DLR #1644 ★ 672-3700 workshop this year were on water, forests, soil and animal habitat. There was also a land use simulation unit. One full day was devoted to water conservation; leaders were John Judy and Lynn Hodges of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Other speakers were E. F. Peffer of the U.S.D.A. Forest Service and Dick Cook, Virginia’s Deputy Secretary of Resources. Mrs. Nordone discussed details of the Process and Problem-solving approach to Environmental Education, with its emphasis on involvement and showing that “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Mrs. Sharp presented the “Facilitator” concept of leadership whereby responsibility for learning falls directly on the participant than on the “teacher.” Mrs. Cannon described all the experiences and happenings of the three days at Nature Camp that made the event so special. This annual workshop has been underwritten for the last six years by Dupont, Philip Morris, Westvaco and The Chesapeake Corporation. It is open to the public and is intended to help citizens to be effective in influencing sound policy by asking informed questions at the proper time of the right people; to serve on advisory and policy making committees principally, to participate in biophysical environmental problemsolving. EPA suspends dinoseb use Virginia iarmers are reeling in the aftermath of the October 8 emergency suspension of dinoseb, a widely-used agricultural chemical. The unexpected ban by the Environmental Protection Agency brings with it a promise of higher production costs, and in some cases, the loss of the farmer’s only effective weed control. Southeastern Virginia peanut growers and Eastern Shore vegetable producers will be hardest hit by the suspension, said Extension specialists at Virginia Tech. A lesser impact will be felt by soybean, small grain and alfalfa producers. The chemical also was used minimally in vineyards and nursery operations. Dinoseb is marketed by 80 U.S. and foreign companies and is an active ingredient in about 180 commercial products. “Dinoseb is primarily a contact herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds,” said Michael J. Weaver, Extension pesticide specialist. “It is applied either by ground equipment, airplane or hand-held spray units.” The chemical was suspended because it has caused birth defects in laboratory animals and sterility in male rats and mice. EPA officials believe that dinoseb exposure is most dangerous to women during the first three months of pregnancy. The agency reports that eating foods ATTENTION LANDOWNERS The Rappahannock County Landfill Site Selection Committee does hereby openly solicit from landowners or their agent sites to be assessed for suitability for a Sanitary Landfill.

The EPA decision will force Vir- ! ginia farmers to “tighten their belts ' and change their way of doing - things,” predicted Allen H. Allison, * Extension peanut specialist at the - Tidewater Research Center in Suf- - folk. it s going to nave a iremenaous „ impact on peanut farmers both from * a weed add grass control standpoint ; and an economic standpoint,” he - said. Mr. Allison estimated that 85 - percent of Virginia’s total peanut - acreage is treated with some form of I dinoseb. I The herbicide has been applied ; on peanut fields at a cost of three to ' five dollars per acre. Alternatives • could cost farmers at least three times as much, Mr. Allison said. - “A task force of Virginia Tech re- ‘ searchers and Extension specialists * is studying various alternatives,” he * said. “We’re looking into emergency * labels for some new chemicals and * will have some alternatives in place ‘ by early J anuary. ” « Implications are also great for " commercial growers of potatoes, - snap beans, cucumbers, peas and - sweet com. “Dinoseb was one of the - least expensive and most effective treatments that vegetable producers had,” said Henry Wilson of Tech’s Eastern Shore Agricultural Experiment Station in Painter. The weed scientist reports that 1 there are no dinoseb substitutes for cucumbers, snap beans or peas. “There are other approaches for sweet com, but they prevent crop rotation with beans or cucumbers,” Mr. Wilson said. Chemical alternatives are available for the 15,000 acres of potatoes grown in Virginia, but they are very expensive. Soybean producers can also ex- - pect to feel the effects of the ban in • their wallets. “AlthQugh it m^y cost them more, soybean farmers, have a greater arsenal of herbicides to I choose from than vegetable growers,” said Mr. Wilson. “Dinoseb was ; not a major chemical in Virginia soybean production.” The loss of dinoseb will have a significant but not devastating effect ! on the plans of small grain farmers. Daniel E. Brann, Extension grains specialist at Tech, explained, “Just last year, we learned how to use dinoseb effectively and economically at a low rate. It was costing about i two dollars per acre to apply on 1 wheat and barley.” With no labeled alternative avail- ; able, small grain producers are back ; to square one. “The loss will present ; another challenge to wheat and bar- * ley growers,” Mr. Brann said. “We • survived without it before, but the ‘ farmer really needed all the eco- * nomic advantages he could find in his * toolbox.” Aiiana growers nave also oeen • left with no substitute. “Dinoseb • was used to control chickweed in ! new stands of alfalfa,” said Harlan : E. White, Extension forages special- ; ist. “The loss won’t be too detri- • mental because it was used on a • limited basis to begin with.” i Common trade names of prod- 1 ucts using dinoseb as an active ingredient include Dynanap, Premerge, Dinitro, Caldon, Sinox, DNBP, Vertac General, Selective Weed Killer, DNOSBP, Basanite, Klean Krop, Chemsect, Dynamite, Dinitrex, Hel-Fire, Kiloseb, Nitropone C, and Subitex. Although the loss of dinoseb, which has been used on Virginia farms for more than 25 years, will have differing impact on various crops, all growers will feel some common effects, said Mr. Weaver. “Everyone will be losing a cheap herbicide and, when there are alternatives, they will be much more expensive.” Where no alternative exists, lower crop yields become a real possibility because of competitive weeds. In addition, farmers will be stuck with existing supplies of dinoseb and face costly methods of legal disposal. According to Mr. Weaver, the only legal method to dispose of the chemical is to hire a professional waste-management firm to come in and haul it away. Mr. Weaver added that local Extension offices can provide information on licensed disposal firms. NAVY. ITS NOT JUST A JOQ, rrs AN ADVENTURE.

Korea Continued from page 3 Scholastic Aptitude Test, but the students can only take it once a year. Out of a twelfth grade class of approximately 60 to 70 students only about 10 will be able to go to Seoul University, which has the same stature as Harvard University in the United States. So, the competition is really tougher in Korea than in America. There is a lot more pressure, as well, from parents, schools and especially society at large than there is in America. The pressure is mostly from the Korean culture and the other Korean people. There isn’t, however, very much pressure to drink or do drugs in Korea yet. What I thought was really different is that acceptance into a college in Korea is only based on the student’s academic record and not extra curricular activities. Therefore, students who might be gifted vocationally but not academically really don’t have a chance to get into a really good college. As I mentioned before, the school system is really strict on the kids. It even rules the childrens’ private lives. Most kids in the U. S. can wear pretty much what they want in and outside of school (except schools which require uniforms), but Korean kids are restricted in what they can wear. Girls cannot wear their hair longer than shoulder length, no make-up is allowed in or out of school, no pierced ears, jewelry or accessories, and no high heels or dress shoes. Most girls wear tennis shoes or loafer-type shoes and skirts and blouses. The boys are as restricted in their dress as the girls are. Boys with pierced ears are becoming more common in this country, but in Korea it is an absolute NO! Also, most of the boys have crewcuts. The clothes are mostly conservative and you don’t find many leather or punk outfits. When the students enter college or get out of high school they are then allowed to wear what an average American teen-ager would - y &I8LE/X y *» NUGGETS OF TRUTH f THE LORD’S PRAYER (PART 3) To continue on this week with The Lord's prayer, found in Matt 6:9-13. We want to study the line "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done." Remember, first you begih your prayer by hollowing God’s name; praising Him and thanking Him for Jesus and His shed blood. Always come into God’s presence with thanksgiving in your heart. Then begin to pray “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done ”, in your own life. God's word is God's will, whatever is in His word is for you today! Picture Jesus seated upon the throne of your heart; submit yourself to jesus; let Him be your Lord, not just your savior. (James 4:7 & 8 and james 4:10). If you have not submitted yourself to jesus, as you pray this prayer, you will find your life changing and you will be able to fully submit yourself to Him. The time of Jesus returning is drawing close according to the signs of the times, therefore we must become fully committed to God. If you are a Christian, its time, if you haven’t already, to make a decision to fully serve Christ, and if you will join us in sincerely praying this prayer daily, you will see a great difference in your life. Next, begin to pray for your family, your Pastor, your Church, unsaved people, our nation and our world, pray that God's will be done and that His kingdom come in their lives. See Jesus seated upon their hearts throne also. See Him as Lord over all you pray for. Finally, in this part of the prayer, ask God to help you live out who you should be as a child of His. The Holy Spirit is our helper, (John 14:26), He will help you. Next week, "Give us this day our daily bread.'' Our church is learning to pray the way jesus taught us to. We pray that you, who read this article will learn to pray in this manner also. JESUS IS LORD FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, Washington. Va (Phone 987-8505) wear. Family life In general, Korean families are more closely knit than American families. The average family “then and now" in Korea is based on an “extended family” system. It is not uncommon to see a family consisting of grandparents, mother, father, sons and daughters-in-law and their children. The eldest son of each family is expected to get married and bring his wife to live in his home. Children all over the world are very valuable to parents and society, but in Korea males are more valuable to their parents and to society than females. The men of the family are expected to go out and work and take care of the family, while the females stay in the home to bear children, be servants to their mates and sons, and to take care of the household chores and help out in the fields during the harvest season. Even now, in the 1980’s, in remote areas of Korea this custom applies. Women in Korea In major cities, however, the women are getting out of the home and more into the working world. Despite this progress, a young woman with a college education has a very small chance of getting a job that is related to her major in school. If she is lucky enough to get a job, . her salary will be far less than her male co-workers, so the chances of a woman in Korea succeeding in a world of men is far less than the chances of an American woman. Korean women have a longer way to go than women in America, and one reason for this is the Korean culture. Confucian philosophy is still active in the culture, although to a lesser degree than it was a century ago. The women are supposed to be servants to their husbands and sons. They have no rights and practically become a property of the husband the minute they are married. They obey only their husbands and the elders of his family. Even though there are divorces that do occur every now and then, the average Korean woman who has an unhappy marriage just endures the situation and lives with her husband until she dies. To do anything outside of what society demands results in the woman “losing face”. A girl who gets pregnant before she is married would rather die than face her parents, peers and society. Many times, that is exactly what she will do: kill herself. Suicide in Korea is very common. It is all a part of the way Koreans think and live. Many of these things seem outrageous, but by meeting the people and seeing them, I can understand why they have to think this way. Even though this is not the way I was brought up, I have accepted that this is the way my parents, friends and ancestors were brought up, and is what makes the Korean people what they are. Even though I don’t know all that I would like to know about my homeland, what I do know of it makes me proud to be a Korean. I will always be a Korean, but part of me will always be an American. This is where I have become what I am now and this is the country that has given me a bright new chance at the kind of life I wanted and still want. Going to Korea gave me the ability to understand who I was then, who I am now and who I want to be in the future. But coming back to America has given me the chance to put all of this into action. Besides coming back for that reason, I’m just glad to be back to my friends and family — maybe not my biological family, but the family (and friends) that I have grown up with and remember and thank.

Tydings Snobbery is the pride of those who are not sure of their position. — Berton Braley RLEP Continued from page 1 4 not apply to the government to have that density changed. Instead, the developer must purchase “development rights” from another landowner who has not used his density allotment - generally a person who has no plans to develop his property. The purchaser transfers the right to place housing units from the seller to his property, usually at the ratio of one-to-one, but in some cases double the number of housing units. In return, the seller loses the right to develop his property, thus creating an area which will be permanently undeveloped. The payoff, for the seller, is the cash which he receives for the sale of his development rights. In a variation of the TDR concept, the developer buys the development rights from the local government, with the money thus raised going to pay for the increased services necessary because of the population growth. In other instances, developers have offered to build roads, extend water and sewer connections, and provide other services traditionally held to be the responsibility of the local government. In most cases, the offers have been made as inducements to the local officials to approve the developer’s proposal. These offers have proven to be especially attractive in cases where the proposed development would strain municipal services. Mr. Wilson said that obviously the value of a given piece of land lies in its development potential. His “greenbelt plan,” in which high density development is clustered and other areas are left as open spaces, “preserves some areas of any development as open space - with no development allowed.” But, Mr. Wilson added, “you have to plan now for those high-density areas. The conservation areas should be noted, and the owners compensated for their development rights ... To conserve the land, the owner is entitled to the value of the development rights.” A warning “The dynamics for growth are not here yet,” Mr. Wilson conceded. “But they are coming - and much faster than you ever think.” As proof, the developer suggested the triangle formed by Dulles Airport, Fair Oaks Mall, and Tysons Corner. That area, he said, contains a larger commercial and industrial base than Washington, D. C., had in 1960. It is, in essence, “a new city - 45 minutes closer to Rappahannock than D. C. . . . It will grow exponentially in the next 20 years. The plans are there, the dynamics are there, growth will occur.” He added that the same area contains more office space than D. C. has now: 80 million square feet, versus 60 million square feet in the city.

Anything they say is colored. . . They haven’t redesigned the game - just to say you’re opposed, you can’t win.. . If (you are perceived) as knee-jerk antidevelopment . . . you’ll be swept away with the tide.” Landfill siting Lee A. Deets, manager of the Environmental Focus Group of A. T. Kearney, Inc., an environmental consulting firm, also spoke to the RLEP meeting. His topic was the considerations and costs involved in siting a sanitary landfill. Mr. Deets has been involved in siting procedures for both hazardous and solid waste landfills for 17 years, “back when solid waste was garbage, and landfills were dumps . . . and I’ve been on both sides of the fence,” he added. It used to take $100 to get the permit for a landfill, he said; now the cost is between $500,000 and $1 million over the life of the project. He cited some figures to illustrate the magnitude of the waste disposal problem confronting the country. “Each person generates between four and six pounds of solid waste per day. You would need a pit three feet wide, three feet deep and ten feet long to dispose of the waste generated by each person in one year.” More than three billion tons of solid waste are produced in the United States each year. Describing the siting of a landfill as “mission impossible,” Mr. Deets recommended, “Forget philosophy - shoot for criteria.” The site selection criteria should include: • Available land area. • Impact of processing and resource recovery. • Haul distance. • Soil conditions and topography. • Climatological conditions. • Surface water hydrology. • Local environmental considerations. • Land-use considerations. Site selection and evaluation is the first phase of the landfill’s life. “If you own land and want to put a landfill there, the selection process is completed. But,” Mr. Deets cautioned, “if you own the site, chances are you have problems.” In terms of the total cost of the project, the selection process represents about 8.7 percent, up from 5.9 percent in 1975. The second phase of the landfill is the design of the facility. The task of design can be made easier by the site selection, Mr. Deets said. “The worse the site is, the more it will cost to design and operate.” Site preparation and construction figure to be 32.7 percent of the total cost, up sharply from 12.3 percent in 1975. The actual operation accounts for about 43 percent of the total cost, which has dropped from 1975, when operation took almost double the percentage, or 75.7 percent, of the total expenditure. Closure costs have also dropped over the last decade, from 6.1 percent to 4.6 percent. But another factor has been added: 10 percent of the total cost will be carried indefinitely for long-term post-closure maintenance. ivir. ueet-s auueu inai compounaing the effect of the larger percentages for operation and post-closure care is the fact that all the costs have skyrocketed, making any landfill a much more expensive proposition than it used to be. The expert also suggested that many localities are following a prudent course of action when they include in the budget allocation process for a landfill project the estimated cost of potential litigation. To do otherwise, Mr. Deets said, is to ignore the reality of the opposition which will almost certainly be encountered. The EPA and the state Division of Solid Waste Control have recently enacted more stringent regulations governing landfills, and those include greatly increased bonds to be posted to cover both operation and closure. In addition, Mr. Deets said, the EPA has requested reviews of basic criteria covering landfills, including groundwater monitoring, location standards, correction standards, and standards for facilities which accept hazardous wastes. He said that he expects that all those requirements will be tightened still further, which will make any landfill a still more expensive proposition. Mr. Deets concluded that one of the most important criteria to be considered is public participation in the process at an early point. He suggested that citizen input can be helpful in the development of an overall strategic plan for solid waste disposal, as well as a determination of the community’s needs, forecasting for the future, user evaluation and education of the public about alternative methods of disposal for some solid waste.
