Speaker after speaker argued against use of the 100-acre Stover tract on Route 639. They repeated the same themes sounded by opponents of other suggested dump sites, from the Carrigan property on Rt. 522 in 1976 to the Margoles property in 1984 to the Lee Farm in 1986: the potential for groundwater contamination and devaluation of property, problems with odor and litter, the expense of road improvements necessary for site access and the proximity to a duster of residences. They added a new argument, maintaining that a landfill should be located nearer the county’s geographic center. They chided the supervisors for even thinking about putting a dump across the road from a landowner who entertains White House staff, senators, congressmen and other dignitaries. They threatened personal liability suits against board members voting for a landfill on the Stover tract, and they suggested an alternative site - the former Kuhn Farm on Route 211 near Hillsdale, now owned by AWOW Partnership of Nokesville and offered for sale! Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter RAPPAHANNOCK’S BOARD OF SUPERVISORS is joined by its landfill consultants and officials from the Department of Waste Management at last Wednesday’s public hearing. ABOUT 150 CITIZENS voiced opposition to the proposal to put the county’s new landfill on the Stover property on Rt. 639 in Amissville. Site committee lauded The first and only speaker who didn’t oppose use of the Stover tract as a landfill, Phil Irwin commended the citizens’ site selection committee for its “excellent job” in soliciting and evaluating potential sites. (After considering 14 locations, this committee gave the Stover tract the most favorable rating as a prospective landfill.) ‘There’s no answer to this trash problem,” said Mr. Irwin. “Incineration results in hazardous wastes. Recycling? Nobody’s doing it.” That leaves landfilling as the only present alternative, he said. But the founder and long time president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection was decidedly out of step with the majority at Wednesday’s meeting. Without exception, the rest of the speakers found nothing to com mend in the site selection committee’s conclusion. “Look at the turnout. You all have done something very wrong in proposing this for Amissville . . . You’re going to kill a lot of people!” warned James Tomko. “I’ve walked that land for 11 years. I know that land. I cut hay back there. It’s swampy,” Mr. Tomko said, adding that a stream which runs through the property “will take the run-off” from the dump and carry it to the Rappahannock River just two miles away. No more entertaining “Do you know Bob Carson?” Mr. Tomko asked the supervisors. All five shook their heads no in response. “He couldn’t be here tonight, but he owns the place right across from where you’re proposing to put this landfill. He’s a member of the House of Representatives. He entertains White House staff . . . senators, congressmen and other dignitaries ... I can't believe the county would do someting like this to this man!” Mr. Tomko, who owns a Japanese Steak House in Northern Virginia, said that he also does a lot of business-related entertaining at his home, a practice he would have to discontinue if a dump goes on the Stover tract. “Half or better (of the Stover tract’s 100 acres) is not suited for a landfill. It’s swampy, low and marshy,” Bobby Carter contended. Streams border three sides of the property and the large stream running along the bottom of the hill where the test sites were drilled “has never failed, never been dry” since the 1940s, he said. Mr. Carter said he has no faith in the liners which are designed to contain run-off from a landfill. The liner will puncture, the risk increased significantly by the disposal of 55-gallon drums that once held “insecticides and pesticides from orchards,” Mr. Carter said. He criticized the proposal for a landfill in “one of the heaviest populated areas” of Rappahannock. “There are more suitable places for it,” Mr. Carter concluded. Devaluation, loss in taxes While maintaining that the county should have a landfill for the disposal of the solid waste generated (Continued on Page 3) Experts attempt to quell apprehensions By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* 8tafT Writer In its role as watchdog over Virginia’s landfills, the Department of Waste Management’s “number one priority is protecting the public health, safety and welfare and the environment,” said Harry Gregori, director of the department’s Office of Policy Planning. “And that comes down to protecting the groundwater.” He assured the crowd at last week’s landfill hearing that his department “looks very, very hard at the technical requirements” for achieving that protection before granting a permit for a solid waste disposal facility. Mr. Gregori, his colleague Barry Wright, engineering consultant Leonard Joyce and geologist Jim Dawson shared the hot seat with the Rappahannock supervisors and site selection committee chairman Mike Massie at the public hearing on a Rappahannock Round-up Inside Supervisors, School Board review budget in work session p. 3 Panthers split week, record stands at 3-3 p. 10 Government at a glance • Board of Supervisors/School Board: Wednesday, April 16,7:30 p.m., RCES auditorium.

Site committee’s role Explaining the committee’s part, Mr. Massie noted that it operated under guidelines established last fall by the board when the citizens’ group was appointed. The committee was to look for a minimum of 40 acres to buy or lease for a county-operated landfill, “and time was critical,” he said, noting that the permit for the existing privately owned and operated landfill would expire on July 1. (Experience at that landfill on the Clark property near Woodville shows that 1/2 to 3/4 acre is required per year for disposal of the county’s trash.) The search committee used criteria formulated by a previous Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee to evaluate potential sites, Mr. Massie told the crowd. Advertisements soliciting possible landfill locations were placed in The Rappahannock News and papers in adjoining counties, and local realtors were contacted. In addition, newspapers carried periodic reports on the committee’s progress. “Everybody who reads The Rappahannock News knows we were looking for a site,” Mr. Massie said. The committee came up with 13 possibilities in addition to the Lee Farm which had already been proposed by the landowners as a private landfill. Six were studied but not formally evaluated after initial inspection by committee members found obvious drawbacks, ranging from steep slopes and rocky soils to poor road access, according to Mr. Massie. Of the eight which were evaluated, the Stover tract near Amissville was given the highest rating and recommended for further testing. “We’re not landfill experts or professionals,” the chairman emphasized. “We were just searching for possibilities,” he said. “Nobody wants a landfill in Rappahannock County. Nobody . . . But we’ve been ordered to have a landfill and to have it ready by July 1.” A solid waste disposal facility will affect more than just the people who live nearby, he said. “It will affect each citizen in every magisterial district. They’ll have to pa^ for the landfill with their taxes, so we need a site that is economically feasible AND environmentally safe,” Mr. Massie concluded. Nearby counties: “It’s your garbage, you keep it.” Engineer Leonard Joyce reported that he had contacted 12 counties and the city of Harrisonburg on Rappahannock’s behalf, (Continued on Page 18) Water drains town’s coffers By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With his report to Council that the Town of Washington has $1,000 in each of its savings, checking and water authority accounts, Treasurer Brad Fisher added that water problems continue to bleed the town’s funds. “Leaks are running about $700 a month in repairs,” he told Council. Total water usage by the town’s residents last month was 459,670 gallons, just above the monthly average of457,173 gallons. No figures were available for the amount of water pumped during March since the town’s reservoir is, at this time, being supplied completely by the spring. Mr. Fisher said there’s no way to gauge the actual amount delivered. “I can only assume that the 200,000 gallon per month leak is still there.” “That’s where it stands,” replied Mayor Dean Morehouse. “Do you want to address the water rates tonight?” he asked rhetorically; adding, “We are going to address them!” Mr. Fisher told Council that he had figures on the breakdown of a $150,000 loan at five percent interest, which would be used for capital improvements on the town’s water system. Paid back over a 25-year period, the 300 payments would run $876.89 per month, or $7.20 for each of the town’s 122 water customers. If the loan were stretched to thirty years, “which I’m not even sure we can do,” Mr. Fisher added, payments would run slightly less. Each of the 360 monthly payments would be $805.23, which averages out to $6.60 for each water customer. Mr. Fisher emphasized that those figures were only preliminary, drawn up solely for the purpose of giving members of Council some idea of what the cost of a loan would be. On the subject of water rates, he said that “although our rates are high when compared to the state and the nation, they are not out of line with those charged by.other small utilities.” Returning to the town’s revenue problems, Mr. Fisher said, “It takes a considerable amount of money to run a town . . . these are fairly average expenses. Between the town and the water authority, the combined town budget is about $38,000. “That’s more than $3,000 a month - without leak fixing.” He added that his experience with the budget is that ‘It looks like this every year - we get down to nothing by May ...” which is the month when the Rappahannock National Bank pays its franchise tax. Last year that tax netted the town $8,500, about two-thirds of its revenue for the year. This coming fiscal year will be different, since the town will have revenue from its 2 1/2 percent meals and transient lodging tax, which took effect April 1. “It’s going to be an interesting budget to do,” Mr. Fisher said. “I don’t know what we have got coming in.” “It’s going to be difficult to match it up (revenues and expenditures),” Mayor Morehouse agreed. He added that the solution might be to include a balanced budget provision in the authorization, with a “road map” indicating where Council is heading with the expenditures. Council agreed to a timetable for beginning work on the water system. Design is expected to be completed by May 1, with bids due on July 1 and construction set to begin by July 15. Mayor Morehouse reported to Council that he and Mr. Fisher had met with several landowners who were upset about brush being cleared along the water line’s right-of-way without notification. He said that an agreement is pending which will provide for notice to landowners of clearing operations, with the salvage value of the trees reimbursed to the landowner. Mr. Fisher explained that the problem stems from the fact that the town has a 10-foot-wide easement through the two properties, owned by Nels Parson and Sid Berry. The easement follows the route of the main water supply line as it travels from the town’s well, to the reservoir and zig-zags as far as the edge of the properties as it comes into town along Piedmont Avenue. That easement, however, is not marked on the plats of the properties, Mr. Fisher said. Mention of it appears only in the text of the deeds, in a reference which dates from 1935. He requested authorization from Council to have the easement surveyed and the plats marked and recorded to show the right-of-way. “We are working with very cooperative landownc. s on this matter,” Mayor Morehouse added. “It’s in the town’s interest to have the survey done and mark the plats.” (Continued on Page 18) Fodderstack field could be record By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Following the naming of the Fodderstack Classic to Running Times magazine’s list of the top 75 road races in the country, entries are running well ahead of last year, according to the race’s organizers. As of Tuesday there are about 150 runners pre-registered, and if Saturday is a nice day the organizers expect as many as 200 more may show up at the start in Flint Hill. Although Running Times called the race a pastoral trek between two historic hamlets, veteran runners know that the course is among the most challenging any have run. From Flint Hill to the finish in Washington, the hilly course offers little relief. It boasts the wellknown Tom Lee’s Hill at the four-mile point as well as two lesser-known but still formidable climbs at the entrance to the Town of Washington, as the exhausted runners reach the sixmile mark and are almost within sight of the finish. Entries have come from as far as New York, Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, as well as D. C. and West Virginia. Among the 100 pre-registered men are last year’s winner, Tim Kearney of Culpeper. Bobby Beathard and Robert Gurtler are the pre-race leaders in the 50-59 age group. Admiral John Marocchi, a local favorite, is a pre-race pick in the men’s over 60 bracket Dennis Wingfield, RCHS tea cher and veteran Fodderstack competitor, this year will run to raise money for a TV and VCR for the high school library. He said that the school is in need of the equipment to view the growing variety of educational material available on videotapes. The purchase of the equipment is a project of the Student Cooperative Association. Asked about the challenge of the course, Mr. Wingfield replied, “To enhance the knowledge of the students — I don’t mind hoofing six miles." Anyone wishing to pledge to Mr. Wingfield’s effort should contact him at RCHS (987-8575). Perennial winner of the Eva L. Smith Memorial, Frank Reynolds, is facing stiff competition from several RCHS track stars. Marley Hay and Jonathan Watson are among the younger runners who have set their sights on Mr. Reynolds and the Smith award, given to the first Rappahannock man and woman to finish. John Borgens, a local runner who is tuning for a marathon season this year, will run the Fodderstack as well — though the distance may seem more like a warm-up after his winter distance training. Lowell Owsley of Jeffersonton, who has run every Fodderstack, will return once again for the spring rite. One of Mr. Wingfield’s colleagues, marathon veteran Ann Spieker, will join him at the starting line.

Amissville fire and rescue personnel carry her to die Pegasus medical evacuation helicopter, which landed in the westbound lane of Rt. 211. MOMENTS LATER, MISS HIROTA was airborne, on her way to the trauma unit at University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. As of Tuesday evening, she had been released from the Intensive Care Unit and her condition was stable. Warm weather brings spate of wrecks Last week’s warm temperatures brought more traffic to the county, and with it an increase in accidents. Last Wednesday, an early morning wreck near the Sperryville Exxon station resulted in a young Front Royal woman being charged with failure to yield the right of way. Kristi Lee Knutson, driving a 1980 Honda two-dOor, attempted to turn onto Rt. 522 from Rt. 211. She was struck by an eastbound 1984 Oldsmobile, operated by Joseph Q. Chadwell, of Staunton. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, damage was estimated at $1,400 to the Knutson vehicle and $2,000 to Mr. ChadweU’s car. There were no injuries. On Saturday, another accident near Sperryville resulted in a driver being charged with failure to maintain control of his vehicle. James 0. Johnson Jr., of Washington, was turning left onto Rt. 1001 from Rt. 211 east of Sperryville when he was struck from behind by a 1985 Dodge van, driven by Edward H. Chang, of Falls Church. Trooper Baines estimated damage at $800 to each vehicle. Neither driver was injured. Mr. Chang was charged with failure to maintain control of his vehicle. A one-car accident on Rt. 211 in Amiss ville Sunday morning resulted in three injuries, one requiring the patient to be airlifted to Charlottesville’s University of Virginia Medical Center via the Pegasus med-evac helicopter. Trooper Baines said that Misa Hirota, of Vienna, was driving a 1983 Subaru west on Rt. 211 when she lost control of the car. It left the road and overturned, pinning Miss Hirota under the car. She was extricated by rescue personnel from the Amissville Fire Department. She received severe head and internal injuries. Two other occupants were transported to Fauquier Hospital by the Amissville Rescue Squad. A fourth individual was not injured. Trooper Baines said that his investigation indicated that Miss Hirota was attempting to fasten her seat belt when the accident occurred. me ouuiuu woo tuuuieu, aiiu Trooper Baines said charges are pending. Two accidents last week were caused by deer. On Friday, an accident on Rt. 522 near Huntly caused $400 damage to a 1974 Ford pickup driven by Darryl E. Windham Jr. of Front Royal. He was southbound on Rt. 522 when he struck and killed a deer. On Tuesday morning, a tractortrailer operated by Samuel B. Leach Jr., of Mifflintown, Pa., was southbound on Rt. 522, also near Huntly, when three deer ran across the road. He applied his brakes, struck one deer and ran off the right side of the road. Trooper Baines said that after going through a fence, the truck jackknifed in a field owned by Dr. Edwin Eastham. Mr. Leach was not injured, and no charges were filed.

County takes “next step” on Stover tract By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KaptahannockNcwi Staff Writer “Basically, the next step is the county’s,” said Harry Gregori after last Wednesday’s public hearing on a proposal to use 100 acres near Amissville as a county landfill. According to the director of the Department of Waste Management’s policy division, that step would be a “move forward” on collecting additional technical information for submission to the landfill permitting agency for review. The step came Monday night. Followuig a long budget work session with the School Board, the county supervisors adjourned to an executive meeting on “acquisition of real property for public purposes.” Returning to open session 20 minutes later, they voted 3-1, with Supervisor A1 Henry in opposition, to authorize their administrative assistant John McCarthy to (1) arrange for aerial photographs to be taken of the 100 acre Stover tract and (2) set up a meeting with the owners of the property to negotiate a sales price contingent upon the outcome of final geotechnic studies. (Supervisor Newbill Miller left before the vote was taken; illness caused his abrupt departure midway through the budget work session.) Mr. McCarthy explained later that the owners will not allow further hydrological and geological studies to determine the Stover tract’s suitability as a landfill without first getting a contingency sales contract. No further board endorsement required As to Richmond’s next step, “tecnically, we can go forward with our review, but we will wait to hear from the county,” Mr. Gregori said in a telephone interview from his Richmond office on Monday. He explained that his department does not need a formal vote from the board endorsing the Stover tract since the county itself is the applicant for the landfill permit. New regulations governing the landfill approval process require that the state notify a locality upon receipt of a landfill application. The locality then has 10 days to tell the state if it wants to hold a public hearing on the application and 30 days in which to actually schedule the hearing and forward a recommendation to Richmond on whether the permit should be approved or denied. However, that recommendation - which is advisory only and not binding upon the Department of Waste Man agement — bean only on land use and zoning issues. "The law was basically designed to deal with situations where a community has no zoning or where the application for the landfill is from a private firm,” Mr. Gregori said. “It puts the burden on the state to notify local government and give local government an opportunity to respond.” This “burden” isn’t really applicable in Rappahannock’s case, «inw» loml government, as the applicant for the permit, is obviously aware of the proposal, he said. In addition, Mr. Gregori added, as a letter from Mr. McCarthy to the Department of Waste Management dated Much 3 points out, the county’s own zoning laws require a special exception permit for a landfill, which may be granted only after public hearings by the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission. And on top of that, the county’s comprehensive plan must be amended, which requires ftuther public hearings. Although last week’s public heuing took place after the time limit had passed, “ we’ll still regard the comments,” Mr. Gregori said. “We won’t outright ignore the concerns of citizens” just because the 30 days have expired, he added. As tiie consultants conduct further tests and prepare the engineering information on design and operation for a technical review by the state, “we’ll be talking to the county to ensure that everything is going satisfactorily,” Mr. Gregori concluded. Campbell resigning to take job in Orange By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer It was the quiet before the storm at Tuesday’s meeting, the last before the School Board sees not if, but how much, the supervisors will trim from the proposed 1987-88 budget. The board members breezed through an hour and a half s business before retiring to executive session to determine who will be offered a contract for next year. And the personnel business was conducted just as quickly, as the board voted unanimously to accept the superintendent’s recommendation to tender contracts for 1987-88 to all present instructional, administrative and classified staff members. However, several have already indicated that they will not return. At the top of the list are assistant superintendent Tom Campbell, leaving July 1 to take the newly created position of director of research and instructional services with the Orange County school system, and veterans Dorothy Butler and Lucia Kilby who will be retiring. During the weekly budget building sessions in March, the board had considered adoption of an administrative salary scale but agreed to delay adoption until next year, asking the administration to work on a proposal modeled after Amherst County’s compensation system. On Tuesday, assistant superintendent Tom Campbell presented a first draft. “The indices preserve the salary relationships we have now. The order is the same ... from lowest paying to the highest paying among the administrative staff,” the superintendent noted. The scale uses the 25th step on the proposed 1987-88 teacher pay scale - $26,174 - as a base. Level one (elementary assistant principal) is 1.05 percent of that base; level two (special services coordinator) 1.07 percent; level three (high school assistant principal) 1.09 percent; level four (elementary school principal) 1.18 percent; level five (high school principal) 4.35 percent; level six (assistant superintendent) 1.57 percent. In addition, an experience increment of .02 per year is added at each level up to a maximum of eight years. For example, an assistant superintendent with eight years experience would make 1.71 percent of i*.'' m ——•ww——-a g COUNTRY MUSIC LOVERS Bus Tours Wheeling Jamboree - May 23 & 24 features Mel Tillis includes Bus transportation, motel accommodations, two hour boat cruise, dinner buffet, Jam session.

But the salaries for the high school principal and the assistant superintendent have been upped in the proposed scale, Mr. Estabrook noted. “In my judgment, the distance between level four and level five and between level five and level six should be greater than we have now.” Bill Oliver pointed out that the salary of an assistant principal with eight years experience would be 1.19 percent of the base, using the proposed scale. If that person were to be promoted to principal, he or she would take a salary cut, since the scale puts the elementary principal’s beginning pay at 1.18 of the base, he added. “I don’t think that’s fair.*’ ' By consensus, the School Board directed the administration to (1) adjust the differential between those two positions, (2) add a seventh level for the superintendent and (3) provide a job description for each position. “I have reservations about tying the administrators’ salaries to the teachers,” added Mr. Oliver. “That’s like tying the president of General Motors’ salary to the raise he gives the union ... At our current (pay) level, that’s no problem, but it could be in the future. And I’m not sure that an administrator two years'out of school deserves to be paid more than a teacher with 25 years’ experience.” Nancy Reeve contended that there needs to be a relationship between the pay scales for teachers and administrators but posed the possibility of using a lower step on the teachers’ scale as a base. In other matters dealt with at Tuesday’s meeting, the superintendent said he will review a request from the elementary school’s PTA for a one to two hour delayed school opening plan with transportation supervisors Tom Campbell and Allie Huff and then bring a recommendation to the School Board.

In evaluating the Stover tract, the site selection committee overlooked important points, maintained Ron Frazer. “Within a one-mile radius, there are approximately 80 dwellings, all served by wells and springs,” he said. In addition, within that radius is an older abandoned landfill. “The full impact of the groundwater contamination from that Gandfill) has yet to be realized.” No testing or monitoring is being done on that older site, and with the county’s “financial instability,” both present and future, “I don’t think we’re going to be seeing a whole lot of testing done (on the Stover tract),” Mr. Frazier said. He challenged the consultant’s findings of soil depths on the Stover tract. Telling the supervisors that he and many of his neighbors had to dynamite before they could put in basements, he called the Stover tract “an extremely rare piece of property if it has 27 feet to bedrock” and maintained that the land would be valued far higher than $2,000 an acre if this was the case. Dreams shattered; bounds overstepped Speaking of the people living near the proposed dump site, Mr. Frazier said, “All their hopes and dreams could be shattered by a contaminated well. Can we put a value on human life? No!” he said, asking tha supervisors to locate a landfill in a less populated area. Mr. Frazier lambasted The Rappahannock News for its editorial endorsing the findings of the site selection committee. “You’ve overstepped your bounds again,” he told the reporter at Wednesday’s hearing. “You’re setting public policy.” And after reading the opinion column aloud in its, entirety, he maintained “the only reason this editorial was printed ifc.; because we have no political heavyweights in Jackson District,” referring to new board member Alvin Henry who was nmunn *. unsna' BCHUII INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 1 p.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st.

Richard Latham. Holding up the page, Mr. Frazier insisted “this could easily have been done for the Lee site, and it was not! This could easily have been done for other sites, and it was not!” Alternative site proposed Frances Semone urged the supervisors to “look at the Kuhn property and look at it good.” That site is “far more isolated,” said Duchee Fannon. She told the supervisors that there are fewer homes near those 400 acres, which are located on Route 211 between Ben Venue and Hillsdale and owned by AWOW Partnership. “It’s surrounded by so many massive farms.” If the landfill is located at the rear of the parcel, where preliminary tests indicate the deepest soils are, the balance of the 400 acres will serve as a buffer and further reduce the chances that wells may be contaminated, Mrs. Fannon said. Col. Ellis Bingham conceded that landfilling presents the most economical solution to Rappahannock’s trash problem. “But there’s no assurance it’s the best solution in the long run.” “Responsible and responsive government” is guaranteed by Virginia’s Constitution, Col. Bingham said. And in 1971, the addition of a conservation article to the Constitution committed state and local governments “to pursuing environmental quality.” Putting a landfill on the Stover tract would violate both the guarantee and the commitment, he argued. The supervisors “must be willing to follow the advice and the suggestions of the people,” Col. Bingham continued. “Any solution (to the county’s trash crisis) must be an acceptable solution to EVERY member of the community.” He insisted that the board does not have the power of eminent domain to acquire property for a landfill since such a solid waste disposal facility could endanger the public safety and welfare. Pointing out the option of another site, he warned the supervisors that under federal law, “whoever votes for it (a landfill on the Stover tract), personally becomes liable.” Run-off from the landfill will pollute nearby streams, insisted C. D. Green. “Vote your conscience so when you walk down the street tomorrow and look in your neighbor’s face, you can truly say you did the right thing,” he told the board mem here. Toxic waste could be deposited in the landfill along with dangerous pesticides, insecticides and household cleaners, said Hugh Green. Mixed together, the chemicals could pose a far greater threat, he said. “We will be producing something that man doesn’t yet know how to deal with.” “It seems the Stover tract meets maybe one” of the evaluation criteria on which the site selection committee based its ratings, said Charles Dishner. “Don't waste your time and efforts here. Go elsewhere, please.” A landfill on the Stover tract will make his retirement plans impossible, said Robert Duxbury. “I don’t want to live next to a dump.” Litter, odor and fires Professional fireman Jim Woodard reported that “papers blow for miles” from the Fairfax landfill next to the fire training academy. At the Lorton landfill, compactors regularly turn up human body parts and fire fighters are called on to quell one or two fires there every day, he said. Smell from the dump is a problem, regardless of how well and how often the trash is covered with dirt, according to Mr. Woodard. Addressing himself to Supervisors Nelson Lane, Charles Estes and Hubert Gilkey, the three board members elected in 1983, Mr. Woodard asked, “What have you been doing all this time? You knew years ago that there were problems with the Woodville site (the county’s existing privately owned and operated landfill which will close this July 1). “. . . You jumped into this (the Stover tract) because of the shortness of time. Sit back and take a better look.” He reported seven beaver dams, deer and turkey between the proposed dump site and the Rappahannock River. “There’s a lot to look at. Other than human beings, we have our environment . . . Please take your time and really dig into this.” Easter closings The Rappahannock Family Guidance Services will be closed Friday, April 17 in observance of Good Friday.

THURSDAY, APRIL 16,1987 Editorial Spring daze The recent warm weather has brought with it an unfortunate, and occasionally tragic, side effect. During the past several weeks there has been a dramatic increase in the number of automobile accidents in the county. While some have been the result of unavoidable circumstances, others have stemmed directly from driver error, or, even more alarmingly, from impaired drivers. Given the safety awareness programs which fill the media, coupled with the stiffer penalties passed last year for driving under the influence, plus a mandatory seat belt law, many had hoped that this year would be different. Alas, it has not yet been that way. Once again, weekends see state and local law enforcement officials pursuing intoxicated drivers from early Friday afternoon until late Sunday evening. Rescue squad personnel spend their weekends extricating impaired drivers and, more frequently, their innocent victims, from the twisted wreckage of their vehicles. And injuries to occupants in other accidents are unnecessarily severe because the drivers and passengers steadfastly refuse to wear safety belts. This highway carnage has become such a fact of life that it often seems commonplace. But the suffering of the victims and their families is tragic, no matter how often it is repeated. We join the State Police, Sheriffs Department and highway safety advocates in urging our readers to exercise extra care on the road. Not only is there more traffic, there are also other drivers who are not exercising the attention and judgement they should. And, unfortunately, some have no business behind the wheel at all. Driving defensively is an easy way to have a safe spring and summer. The last way anyone wants to spend their vacation is as a statistic. Buy lags now avoid rush According to Rappahannock County Treasurer Frances Foster, the sale of county tags is running far behind last year. Property taxes must be paid, and stickers displayed on vehicles, by May 1. Motor vehicle registration cards must be taken to the Commissioner of Revenue’s office in Washington, where the cards are stamped before going to the Treasurer’s office to pay personal property taxes. For information, call the Commissioner of Revenue (675-3513) or the Treasurer (675-3334). Mrs. Foster and Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins urge county residents to pay their taxes and pick up their stickers early, to avoid the last-minute rush.

J Letters to llie editor JL An uncalled for attack To the editor: I have just read the article in the Rappahannock News last week about the Board of Supervisors’ decision not to allow an ABC Store in Flint Hill; and by their extreme views, it sounded as though they were voting against putting in an Adult Book Store, not a Liquor Store!! I can agree with some of their reasoning, but much of the controversy was offensive in that it seemed to attack Dr. Krebser personally. Especially when they said that the ABC store was just a “business venture for his own personal gain.” I, and many others, are grateful to both Dr. Krebser and Mrs. Krebser for their community involvement and interest in developing Rappahannock County, and to so vehemently attack the Krebsers’ efforts was uncalled for. Some of us, myself included, are indebted to the Krebsers’ for being able to rent an apartment from them here in Rappahannock County. So, in a sense, if it wasn’t for his “business ventures” I wouldn’t be able to live here. LYNDACOHEN Flint Hill Letters The Rappahannock News is your newspaper. We encourage our readers to express their feelings on matters of public concern. Letters must reach the editor by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for publication that week. Letters may be mailed to the Rappahannock News, P.0. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office on Main Street, Washington. Trial and error To the editor: The motto on the letterhead stationery of Heavenly Earth Revival (HER) says, “Her ways are the ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Proverbs 3:17.” This, of course, refers to the Divinely Feminine Aspect of God, or God the Mother, whose special realm in human affairs is that of action - the living and doing of the Father’s will, which is love. But it seems that my “Adverse Possession” claim of a piece of Rappahannock County has stirred up something other than pleasantness and peace! Therefore I must admit to the fact that God was probably not my inspiration in making that claim for land. It seems that religionists - both the big fish and the small fish - are goofing up lately. Perhaps if I had been more willing to be guided by love I would have intuited that the property in question had other, rightful owners. As it was, almost every step I took in making that claim was accompanied by anxiety (a sign that it was not God’s will). There was, however, a moment when I experienced the pleasure of the feeling of land ownership for the first time in my life. (You know, it just occurred to me that a person could get hooked on that feeling of pleasure). Jesus implied that we can become perfect in this life, but few people have done so. The way, it seems, is that of trial and error. One of the big fish, Jim Bakker, erred on the side of love, rather than that of material acquisition like I did. There was probably more pleasure in it for him, too! I’ll definitely keep that in mind. PETER B. HOLLEY, Minister Heavenly Earth Revival, Boston Educating for character: An opinion By DR. TERRY HAMMONS Foreword by ROBERT W. EASTHAM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer! The author of the article which follows, “Educating for Character: An Opinion” is Dr. Terry Hammons, a member of the faculty of Antilles School, a private college preparatory school in St. Thomas, U. S. Virgin Islands. I served on the Board of T rustees of Antilles School for several years while living there and finally, before leaving St. Thomas, served as President of the Board. Dr. Hammons completed his work for his doctorate in American History at the University of Oklahoma in 1978 and has been teaching history at Antilles School since 1981. Having absolutely no interest in the politics and such of the educational bureaucracy, Dr. Hammons and his wife decided, instead, to devote their lives to their true profession — that of being a first-rate teacher at an extraordinary college preparatory school — and were welcomed with open arms by Antilles School. They now hope to finish their working careers there, where grades Kindergarten through 12 are taught. For some time, I have planned to contribute an article to the Rappahannock News on the theme of Dr. Hammons' article but, when I saw his, / knew that I could never express my thoughts as well as he has. With his kind permission, I offer it to the people of Rappahannock, and especially to the parents of school children, as valuable food for thought. While a member of Rappahannock’s School Board, I used to quote Sir Francis Bacon’s definition of the word “education" to my colleagues and to applicants for teaching jobs: “Education is the inculcation of knowledge and virtue. ” 1 am pleased to note that both Antilles School and Rappahannock’s own Wakefield School subscribe to Bacon’s definition. There is nothing to prevent Rappahannock's public schools from doing the same; the only thing required is to cease looking for excuses not to do it. R.W.E. / * Making children into decent hui man beings has always been at the { core of education. Plato believed in f it, and so did John Dewey. But like * so many ideas that predated Bob t Dylan’s first album, character edut cation has been officially savaged, (intellectually subverted, and in k many schools, merely ignored. i That’s a crying shame, because a * school that doesn’t teach values and * mold character is no school at all. It t is, at best, an SAT factory, and ev* erything learned there is cheap and | ephemeral. J Sadder still, its product is very j likely ethically defective. * At worst, such schools are hold* ing pens for the urban proletariat, t and nothing is learned at all. Its ; product will very likely burglarize * your home. J The rise in adolt^. _*nt wretched* ness doesnT need documentation. It j is a national disgrace, and it has ' been for two decades. We even know } what caused it: urban alienation, im migration patterns, Vietnam, the divorce rate, unemployment, feminism, the whole litany. As a historian, I find those reasons are all well and good, although incomplete. As a high school teacher, I know they are completely wrong, by virtue of being extraneous. As a teacher, I know that history flows over a child like water over a rock. Foreign wars don’t make kids dishonest, and big cities don’t make them whiners. Children are bad for the same reasons that adults are bad: they have no character. And that meahs that they haven’t been taught any, and that means that the schools have not been doing their job. That is not to say that schools alone have failed. So have churches and families. But schools, in terms of time alone, are the primary institution in an American child’s life. School has him seven hours of every day, and his teachers have his undivided attention. How many parents talk to their children for an hour a day? Teachers do it for a living. And that is not to say that if the schools succeeded that they would produce generations of Jack Armstrongs. But you can bet the ranch that things would get better. Traditionally, educating for character meant the conscious inculcation — indoctrination, if you must — of widely accepted values (in those olden times values were often called “virtues”). Those virtues, give or take a few, were honesty, loyalty, morality and courage. The techniques of teaching virtue were varied and tested. They were occasionally unpleasant, and for that some would never forgive them. But, by and large, they worked. For generations, Americans with educations stayed married, mowed their lawns, and honored what deserved honoring. Our schools haven’t been able to say that about their product for some time now. Pure wrongheadedness was to blame. American schools were doing their part of a hard job pretty well until the 1960s. In 1953, when I was six, a teacher put me through hell’s own maw for hitting a little girl with a bucket. In 1962, they suspended me for three days for letting a lab mate copy my work. Neither would happen today in most schools. I’d probably be referred for counseling and enjoined to ponder aloud the real purposes of buckets. But ill winds were blowing by then, and the academy, the source of a lot of contemporary wind, was huff-ing and puffing. Education departments were in heat, marching in synch with the avant garde of the New Age. The educationists’ particular task in the coming of Consciousness III was the creation of a new psychology to mold the New Man. What they gave us was “humanistic education” and “values clarification.” Those ideas swept the field, and the biggest generation of educators in American history took them in like stupid boys at the fair. At the murky center of those theories was the ideologically derived certainty that it was wrong, and hence ineffective, to impose anything on anybody, especially the discredited values of a hopelessly materialistic society on defenseless children. Yet the humanists and valueclarifiers still esteemed virtue, virtue free of hypocrisy and heartfelt, and they still believed that the schools had a vital role in teaching them. That role was to lead the child to virtue through critical thinking. Verities were there to be questioned and tested, and what was good and true would shake out. By faith alone the educationists believed that right behavior was a product of right reason, and in a mighty leap into illusion, they believed that children were capable of reason. That approach has dominated the schools for two decades. Is it any wonder that they’re a mess? It’s time to stop and do things the right way again. The experiment has failed. Children aren’t reasonable, and even if they were, virtue isn’t innate. Virtue is learned, and the learning is very hard. Even after we’ve learned what good is, it is still very hard. Only deeply internalized restraints keep us from going at one another’s throats. Giving children a range of moral options only leads them into a forest of ambiguity that blunts and subverts all morals. Too frequently that technique creates people who go through life looking for loopholes, and every now and then the moral uncertainty it breeds lapses over into adolescent nihilism. Then you’ve got real trouble. To be effective, character education has to be incremental, diverse, pervasive, persistent and rigorous. There can be no ambiguity about right and wrong, and no quibbling about the correctness of imposing values on children. We must not forget again that if values are not imposed, they probably will not exist. Our fathers understood that discipline and high standards are the core of character education. Rules must reinforce virtue, and breaking them should carry serious penalties. In short, good behavior should be rewarded, and bad punished. High academic standards also play a role in character education. Good grades don’t indicate character, but their attainment certainly requires the exercise of character’s constituent parts. When a school makes educating for character a central goal it can no longer tolerate elements in its midst that undercut the effort. Bad students, children who won’t get with the program, have to be removed. The rotten apple syndrome is a real thing, and bad company will undo a child like a virus. The faculty, too, should be committed to the effort, and if they’re not, they should look for work elsewhere. A strong physical education and competitive sports program is important. The real test of character comes when the chips are down, and then the choice between right and wrong often hinges on physical courage. A sports program teaches that better than anything else a school can teach. Again, courage can exist without character, but character cannot exist without courage. A man without courage is a coward, and cowardice is the antithesis of character. Lastly, virtue should be imbedded in the humanities curriculum. Art or literature that doesn’t reinforce decency and morality (and a lot of it doesn’t) has no place near children. The same goes for approaches to the social sciences that tear down institutions and ideas that promote traditional values. Children that (sic) are told repeatedly that their nation and way of life are no good will see little reason to subscribe to the virtues it embraces. Educating for character is a hard job. It requires that schools be more than'they’ve gotten used to being. Yet it is the only dimension of our work that is really worthwhile. If I thought that the end-all and be-all of my career was to get kids through their college boards, well I’d rather drive a truck.

SAFE seeks volunteers April is National Volunteer Month. Services to Abused Families, a United Way organization dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence, is looking for volunteers. In 1986, SAFE received 1,468 requests for counseling and advocacy from 603 families in the five county area of PD-9. Out of 167 requests for shelter, 122 women and children were provided shelter and 45 referrals were made to other shelters or agencies. There are several ways a volunteer can serve families in crisis: The Hotline Volunteer answers crisis calls from victims of domestic violence. The calls can be taken at home. Volunteers are trained in crisis counseling, community resources and making referrals. Back-up staff is always provided. The Client Advocate assists SAFE clients in their interaction with local agencies, grocery shopping, and their search for housing. The Court Advocate is trained to educate clients about their legal options and the process of legal action. The Advocate may accompany the women to court to act as a support person dining a very difficult time. The Children’s Advocate works with the children in structured play groups and individual activities under the supervision of the Services Coordinator. . Also, Home and Yard Volunteers assist with shelter projects throughout the year. Current volunteers at SAFE offer many reasons for becoming involved: “I’m new to the area, and I’ve made a wonderful network of friends...I really feel like I belong here now.” Another volunteer says, “I feel like I receive more than I give. Just one caring act can mean so much to a woman who feels alone in her crisis.” And, “It’s fulfilling to know I’m doing something beyond myself, to be a healing influence to the pain of others. This is something that affects us all, whether we realize it or not, when one family suffers, we are all victims.” Volunteer training will be offered on April 27, 29, May 4 and 6 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Topics to be covered will include: 1) The Social and Psychological Dynamics of Spouse Abuse; 2) Values Clarification/Counseling Skills for Volunteers; 3) Community Resources and Shelter Operations; 4) Legal Issues Related to Domestic Violence; and 5) Children ^Victims. Some of the speakers will include: 1) Billie Lee Dunford-Jackson, Attorney; 2) Humbert Lertora, C.A.C. Leader of Men’s Group for Violence and Anger Control; 3) Laurie Brown, M.S.W., Coordinator of Alternatives; 4) Rachel Saunders, M.S., Director of SAFE and Nancy Knowles-Tuell, Services Coordinator of SAFE. 5) A social worker from the Department of Social Services will address Protective Services for children. Whatever your talents, there is something you can do to help deal with the problem of domestic violence in the community. Call 8258876 for more information. Assistance to reforest The Reforestation of Timberlands (RT) Board met on March 3 to develop operational policy for the RT program. The committee, appointed by the Governor, consists of three representatives from the pine lumber industry, three from the pine pulpwood industry and three representing forest landowners. The committee formulates regulations and administrative rules and makes recommendations pertaining to the operation of the RT program. The RT program was initiated in 1970 to support tree planting. It was the first state incentive program in the nation and is the model for eight other state programs and the Federal Forestry Incentive Program. The program is funded by a special tax paid by the pine forest industry which is matched from the Virginia’s General Fund. The RT program pays 50 percent of a landowners’ cost of reforestation (a maximum of $60 per acre). A recent evaluation of cost-share programs in the southeastern United States indicated that the RT program is unique because it encourages landowners to reforest areas beyond the actual acres cost-shared by the program. In fact, for every acre receiving cost-share assistance, another half acre was reforested. During the first 15 years of the program, 241,577 acres received costshare assistance. An additional 120,788 acres were reforested without any cost-share funding in conjunction with RT projects. Indications are that 1987 will be the most successful in the program’s history ' For information about participation in this program contact Buck Kline, Area Forester in Madison at 948-5341 or Tippy Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden at 987-8837.

Virginians ‘buckle up!’ Virginia Governor Gerald L. Baliles has signed into law a bill requiring the mandatory use of safety belts by all Virginia drivers and front-seat passengers. The bill was passed Feb. 16 by the General Assembly. This brings the state into line with its two neighboring jurisdictions - the District of Columbia and North Carolina — in requiring motorists to buckle up, and makes Vir ginia the 25th state to pass such a law. Safety belt legislation is growing in popularity as a way for states to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries. An executive order signed by President Ronald Reagan last year requires the more than five million government workers in the nation to use safety belts while on the job.

The proof of His resurrection is not found in the proof of an empty tomb. An empty tomb can always be explained away: “His friends came during the night and removed him." they said. Who can disprove that? A soldier was bribed," some might say, and one cannot really unlodge that theory. The validity of Easter—the fact of resurrection—rests not on the emptiness of the tomb, but on the fullness of Mary Magdelene's testimony: "I have seen the Lord!" There s proof of resurrection. That s the fact of EaSter! The reality of Easter is found not even in the words of the angel, He is not here!" but in the words of Mary Magdelene: I have seen the Lord!"

Easter Bunny By SAMm R. RICHARDSON Extcnioa Agent, Home Economies This Easter decoration will cause Peter Cottontail to stop in his tracks. Youngsters’ eyes will sparkle when they see this on the* table just waiting to be cut. It is much easier to prepare than what appears at first glance. Coconut may be tinted green for the grass around the bunny ahead of time and set aside on paper towel to dry. To do this, put 2 cups (or desired amount) in a glass jar with lid. Combine a couple of drops of green food coloring with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Place lid on container and shake until the coconut is evenly colored. Spread evenly on paper towel and allow to dry. The cake may be made using your favorite two-layer recipe (use 8 or 9 inch round pans) or, to save time, a yellow cake mix does nicely. Prepare the cake as directed. Let cool. While cake is cooling, prepare boiled frosting using your favorite recipe or the one suggested below. Let frosting cool completely before using. Now you are ready to begin assembling your decoration. Cut a piece of cardboard 13 inches by 19 inches. Cover with foil or white .freezer paper. Cut one layer in half. Place cut sides down side by side on the center of the board. Spread a tablespoon or two of frosting between the layers to hold them in place. The second layers needs to be cut as shown in illustration. Using the pieces marked head, place the short cut side next, to the body pieces. Again, use a bit of frosting to hold the two pieces together. There will be a gap between the head standing up and the body. The back legs can be put in place by positioning the right angle at the back so that the curved side is going toward the front. Secure each piece to body with frosting. Position the front paws so that a portion of the cake extends beyond the body. Secure. Cover the entire cake liberally with frosting. Cover with coconut. Facial features can be made by using jelly beans - pink for eyes, black for nose, and red for mouth. Ears may be cut from pink construction paper and positioned on top of head. Decorated chocolate covered peanut cream eggs add the finishing touch to this Easter decoration. Follow directions as given in the recipe. A few tips to remember when melting chocolate. Chocolate that has not been frozen melts better. Also, keep the water boiling over low heat. The paraffin is added to give luster to the frosting. After dipping the eggshaped candy in the chocolate, place on waxed paper until the chocolate sets. Decorate with different colors of icing as desired. Place eggs around cake on the green coconut grass. Finished at last! Stand back, admire your creation, and wait for the raves from your family!

Sport Old Dominion races are a day of surprises By TINA SKINNER Arundel Newapapen Staff Writer Roaring winds and occasional raindrops only added to the unpredictable atmosphere pervading the Old Dominion Hunt’s point-to-point races on Saturday. Nearly every race had a strange twist of fate, though fortunately, none was fatal. Predictably enough, William Russell won the owner-rider timber race on Marat, last year’s horse of the year who also earned his rider the leading rider award and contributed towards his trainer Don Yovanovich’s 1986 leading trainer status. However, this winning pair won in an uncharacteristic way. When the five-horse field kicked off from the starting line, Marat chose his regular third-place position while the leaders raced ahead. Gookin ’N Lookin led followed by Shell Out who shelled out, falling in the second round. Opportunistic Zohar Ben-Dov urged his Manly Carter into the lead on the second mile, Marat remained third in line. When Paul B. Cramer Jr. pulled his Cookin ’N Lookin up in the final third mile, only three were left to carry on, West Coast Boy, Peter de Simone up, already an astronomical 86 Va lengths behind, according to announcer Will O’Keefe. Mr. Simone, however, wasn’t the only one behind. As the crowd' stared in amazement Marat and Dr. Russell slipped farther and farther behind the leading Manly Carter and the awaited rally in the stretch never came. In fact, Dr. Russell cantered his horse slowly across the finish, a good 30 lengths behind. A few keen horsemen, including Marat’s trainer Mr. Yovanovich were wise to this strange finish. Manly Carter had missed a beacon and, assured of his victory, Dr. Russell had taken it easy. Nevertheless, Mr. Yovanovich was disappointed with the victory. “I told you to work him,” he told Dr. Russell. “That horse is too old and he’s too smart. He only works when he’s running. He won’t work at home,” he said. So Marat won the timber race, though he managed another easy day’s work. Dr. Russell also captured the owner-rider hurdle victory with News Special, beating series leaders Naughty Hugo and Star Billing. As usual, Dr. Russell held back during the race, though he waited till the : *•:: «*••••«.. mkmvtsxsersm- -afeggsi—1 »• mmam ALBERT POE, ABOARD Fleeting Roy, leads the field to the finish in the ninth race, run for the Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter Meeting House Mountain Plate, at Ben Venue on Saturday.

Only the final thrust under the wire determined News Special to be the winner by a neck. Nevertheless, Dr. Russell had as cool a seat as ever during the race to the wire. “I get a little nervous driving here,” the radiologist from North Carolina said. “But when you get here the races come up so fast you don’t have time to get nervous. In the paddock the nerves go.” This is Dr. Russell’s first season of racing on News Special. Last year he rode the appropriately named Man of Steel over brush. Next year he hopes to try Man of Steel over timber. Pontiac has challenged us and WE'RE READY TO DEAL1I GREAT SELECTION! YOU'RE THE REAL WINNER!! W 3 ,V/° Financing .41200 Off plus...

Ahwaz, the series leader, gobbled up the lead and put 12 lengths between himself and his followers. On the stretch, however, Lyles Turn, Caroline Connors in the irons, challenged and much to the jockey’s surprise, found enough gusto to run ahead under the wire. Lyles Turn served his jockey last winter as a horse to whip off of for the Warrenton Hunt and proved he had speed at that hunt’s point-topoint meet when he beat the famous Cinzano. Rider Woods Winants had a rather nice day, winning three races. The eighth race, for maidens over hurdles, had so many entries that race organizers opted to split it three ways. Back to back, Mr. Winants carried three horses into the winner’s circle, two in first place. Mr. Winants warmed up in the first division, guiding Hi Rocking Lady to a third place after losing to tough challengers Mail List and Life of Raleigh with whom he fought all the way to a close finish. Rider Matthew Leslie, who won that contest with Mail List, said, “It was a lovely ride.” This was Mail List’s fifth time over fences, having captured thirds his last two times out. In the second division Mr. Winants rode Britt Graham’s Tough Times Tony, hanging towards the back and rallying against Piper’s Dream for a close finish and victory. This was Tough Times Tony’s first start over hurdles and Mr. Winants tried to follow the owner’s directions. “He’d never schooled with another horse over hurdles,” Mrs. Graham said. “I said “Woods, just try to follow behind’.” This is precisely what Mr. Winants started to do, though the horse had other ideas about his abilities. The third division was an even more exciting one for the day’s star rider. He rode Anne’s Lover to a breathtaking finish, drawing away from So Eager in the last lengths of the finish. That, however, wasn’t the finish for Anne’s Lover. Apparently made for longer1 races thah; thOr fast 1'/Simile hurdle, he wanted to keep going afterwards and keep going he did. Tired, no doubt, after the four preceding races he rode, Mr. Winants was unable to stop his mount who took him, with one detour into the woods, around the course one more time. Mr. Winants got a break until the eighth race, a turf event of IV2 miles, when he rode Amaflyer, again to an exciting finish. Amaflyer came from far back in the 13-horse pack to rally in the final lengths with Lyndian who finished a close second but was later disqualified. This was an odd race which took a nasty twist when Pay The Cashier fell and left Babs Timmerman lying on the course with a broken ankle. Flagmen, who moved in to clear the course around the fallen rider, were overwhelmed by the large field and recriminations were rained upon all the riders, with the exception of Don Yovanovich, for failing to steer wide of the accident. Another surprise graced the day — sure bet Essayer failed to win the open hurdle race, losing his undefeated status on this year’s point-topoint circuit. “They hooked me early,” Essay eFs regular jockey Speedy Smithwick said. “I couldn’t get the lead and relax.” Essayer took the lead in the first half-mile, though his heels were being dogged by Ralemijo and Tic-Tac, who soon stole the leadership position. His work done, Ralemijo slipped back, but Tic-Tac ran on strong and dominated the rest of the race, capturing the victory with Don Yovanovich. “He’s sanctioned next,” Mr. Yovanovich said of his pupil Tic-Tac, owned by R. M. Waterman. Mr. Smithwick was not without victory, though. He captured the novice timber race with Kitty Smith’s Stag, who made a strong showing in the final half-mile, passing Tingles Image and Amadeus. The final race of the day went to Albert Poe and his horse Fleeting Roy. The duo moved to the lead early in the race and showed the way home. inis norse nas a ninny little story,” Mr. Poe said. “He broke his maiden at the flat tracks but didn’t do well there. He likes the grass, he doesn’t like the dirt. He’s been running really well for me. Only lost one point-to-point. He’s a neat little horse.” In the pony races some age-old, though not very old, battles were waged among the junior riders. Jill Waterman on Lil Fritz and Christopher Williams on Strawberry Fizz, two adorable roan ponies, fought over a half-mile of turf side by side. When they came into the stretch, however, Lil Fritz stepped on the (Continued on Page 11)

Tricia Dove on Sir Ivanhoe and Gus Brown on Down Homer ran as though for the gold, but the more spirited Sir Ivanhoe put 12 lengths between himself and his foe before the finish. The juniors who entered horses numbered so many that they were split into two divisions. In the first division, fought over a mile, Northern Hill and Diana Gillam captured the early lead. Northern Hill had to be content with a close second, however, after fighting Grade Crossing, Sean Claney in the irons, in a neck and neck finish under the wire. The second division of the junior horse race was a disappointment when a false start scattered the impatient and high spirited horses across the scenic Ben Venue Farm course, and tired too many of the contestants to stage a race.

Safety for gobbler hunting Virginia’s 1987 spring gobbler season opened Saturday, and runs through Saturday, May 9. Legal hunting hours run from one half hour before sunrise until 11 a.m. each day. The spring bag limit is one bearded turkey per day. The yearly bag limit is two, per license year, with the count including gobblers taken during both the fall and spring season. Since the mandatory blaze orange law does not go into effect until July 1, hunters should take special care to remember and practice shooting safety in the field. One important point, according to the Virginia Game Commission, is to remember that although most turkey hunters will be dressed in full camouflage, some hunters may be wearing other clothing. RED, WHITE or BLUE, the Commission stressed, SHOULD NOT be visible. As small spot of a white T-shirt showing above the neckline of a fully camouflaged hunter may look, to an other hunter at a distance, like the white head of a turkey. Red or blue could also confuse hunters some distance away. (i A good rule of thumb to remember, advised the Commission, is that ‘ the anticipation of the hunt often lets hunters see things they wish were there instead of what really is there. While in a blind, movement should be kept to a minimum. It’s what makes turkey hunting so difficult, since most hunters cannot remain totally still while in a blind. One method to alert other hunters to your presence while camouflaged by bushes set up as a blind is to tie a blaze orange sash around the trunk of a tree being used as a support. Every year there are reports of accidental shootings caused by a hunter shooting based entirely on movement, thinking he’s shooting at a turkey. A blaze orange sash will tell other hunters that there is someone in the area. Panthers have mixed week Following a victory against Page County last Thursday, beating the home favorites by a score of 8-6, the Panthers returned to RCHS to a disappointing defeat at the hands of Clarke County on Tuesday. Coach Gary Leake said that he was especially impressed with the effort given by the Panthers last week, because Page County went into the game undefeated for the year. “I told them it would take extra effort to defeat them — especially on their home field. They took the game to Page, set the tempo, made them play catchup. It was the biggest win of the season.” Matthew Settle was credited with the win, bringing his record to 2-0 on the season. Doug Smith came on in relief and saved the win for the Panthers. Smith, who is 1-3 for the year, has pitched better than his record indicates, Coach Leake said. Besides his mound prowess, Smith led off the Panther offense against Page with a three-run homer in the first. “It was gone right away,” Coach Leake commented. Rappahannock added another run in the top of the third, and Page answered with one in the home half of the third. The home team rallied to take the lead with a five-run barrage in the bottom of the fourth, to go out in front by two. The Panthers jumped right back with three runs in the top of the fifth, highlighted by a bases-loaded double by Thomas Jones which cleared the bases and put Rappahannock back in the lead to stay. Page was unable to score again, while the Panthers added an insurance run in the top of the seventh. Rappahannock outhit Page, 9-5. "The offense played well; they were aggressive — even intimidating — at the plate. We got men on base, and then we brought them home.” In contrast, Rappahannock’s first game at home in several weeks was a disappointment for the Panthers, and their fans. They dropped Tuesday’s game, 9-5, largely because of that old nemesis, mental errors, Coach Leake said. Going into the final inning Rappahannock trailed by only one, 6-5, but missed the opportunity to salvage the game by allowing Clarke three unanswered runs in the seventh. “We had several opportunities to move ahead,” Coach Leake said. “We just couldn’t capitalize.” Doug Smith, although charged with the loss, again led the attack, going three for four on the day. Reggig Williams also delivered two hits in four at bats. The team had 10 hits in 30 plate appearances for the day, which averages to a very respectable .333. Coach Leake said the offense is delivering the runs to win games — “we’re failing to execute mentally on the defensive side; It’s not physical mistakes.” He added that he felt RCHS outplayed Clarke, which is ranked one of the district’s top teams. Five of Clarke’s nine runs were unearned, due to three Panther errors. Rappahannock scored five runs, but left nine men stranded on the basepaths. Six men were put in scoring position with only one out — and none was able to reach the plate for a run. Last week each hitter advanced the runners, Coach Leake said. Tuesday the Panthers couldn’t seem to execute in the key situations, he said. “And we couldn’t take advantage of their mistakes.” The pitching staff is doing its job, he added. The defense has just not executed behind them. “I think the guys are realizing that every pitch is important — rather than waiting for the big hit. Each man has to do his job to move the runners around. “Still, they have battled everybody. We’ve been in every game. Two losses were due to poor execution ... Our record could easily be 51 instead of 3-3.” “We are almost there,” Coach Leake said. “We’re doing more things right each game. I’m just waiting for them to put it all together for the second half of the season. “The key will be how much each guy improves. They are working hard — I just hope it doesn’t get frustrating. We will iron things out, each day I can see improvement. . . It’s an advantage of a young team: you can bring them along, build toward the tournament. “I look for us to be right in the middle of things at the end of the season.” The Panthers face Brentsville on the road Thursday, with a game beginning at 5 p.m. Tuesday they play the Manassas Park Cougars at Rappahannock, also starting at 5 p.m. F odderstack 71? btmi (Continued from Page 1) Other women among the 50 registered so far include last year’s overall winner Christine Beathard, as well as Firth Whitehouse, who took the 25-29 age group award last year.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life ASCS programs update The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service issued reminders to participants in its programs that filing dates for some ASCS programs are approaching. Emergency Feed Program: Livestock producers who signed up for the Emergency Feed Program and were approved are reminded to present sale receipts or documents of purchases to the ASCS office as purchases are made. The feeding period ends April 30. Payment can be made only on feed purchased and consumed by April 30. Report of Acreage: Participants in the Wheat and Feed Grain Program have until June 1 to report planted acres for fall and spring seeded small grains, July 15 for all other crops in order to be eligible for price support loans, deficiency payments and other benefits. Farmers who do not sign up for the programs could also benefit by reporting their * planted acreage because the report will be used for crop history pur poses. The Sodbuster Provisions: The sodbuster provision of the 1985 farm oill may affect Rappahannock County farmers this year. If you plant (or planted) a crop on land that was not cropped at least once from 1981 to 1985, you may not be eligible for farm program payments, FmHA loans or Crop Insurance in 1987 unless: 1) The Soil Conservation Service determines the field is not highly erodible; 2) OR you follow a conservation plan approved by the Soil Conservation District Board to protect the field from erosion.

Extension agents will provide education for the leaders of the more than 700 Virginia Extension Homemaker Clubs, who will in turn, train their members to conduct educational programs in their communities. The four major programs have been outlined for the coming year. They are health, food, and nutrition; citizenship; resource management; and family community leadership said Janet Tuckwiller, Virginia Tech Extension specialist who serves as adviser to the Homemaker Council. The health, food, and nutrition program will emphasize training the members to teach pre-school youngsters good food habits. It also will work on a program called “Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies,” in which the members learn to provide information to pregnant and nursing mothers to maintain and improve their health as well as the health of their babies. The citizenship program will focus on “Volunteer Information Providers” Program (VIPP) which is aimed at training the members to get information to those caring for adults. The information will include the physical aspects of aging and also will help the members gather information on community resources available to those caring for adults. The resource management program will help the members learn the skills not only to manage their own fiscal and physical resources, but also will have information on topics such as starting home-based businesses. The Family Community Leadership program focuses on the development of leadership skills. Its goal is to help members learn to be more actively involved in public decisionmaking. This program already has been funded by a grant of $2,000 from the Kellogg Foundation. ‘The Extension Homemakers have been a source of volunteers to help Extension Service deliver programs,” said Ms. Tuckwiller. “Carrying out these four programs will focus on some of the needs in many communities - care of aged, nutrition for babies and mother and development of leadership. Their volunteers help as they learn to train others will spread the educational information to those who need it.” Extension Service makes a difference “Making a Difference, Toward the Year 2000” is the theme on which the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service is celebrating Extension Week, Monday, April 20, through Sunday, April 26. Programs have been devised across the state which match the greatest needs of Virginians and Extension’s capabilities, said Mitchell R. Geasler, director of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. Extension agents in 107 counties and cities in Virginia are directing their efforts to six statewide priorities. “First, we will work toward restoring profitability to agriculture through strategies such as offering marketing options, stimulating alternative enterprise development, improving farm financial management, and fostering production efficiency,” Mr. Geasler said. A related priority is to i SATURDAY, MAY 2nd, 1987 AT GREAT MEADOW, THE PLAINS, VA. POST TIME 1:30 P.M.

A third priority is to improve-nutrition, health, and safetty. To do this Extension agents will provide educational programs aimed at diminishing disease risk, disseminating safe pesticide management information, teaching farm operations safety, improving food habits, and reducing infant mortality. Extension intends to develop human capital as a priority effort. Related objectives include recruiting and developing volunteers, improving public sector decision making, improving international understanding, and strengthening personal and family relationships. Extension will assist educational efforts to upgrade knowledge and skills in the workplace as a priority. The Virginia Tech continuing education program will be central to efforts to provide training and retraining for business, industry, and government; facilitate licensing and recertification of professionals; stimulate “hi-tech” development, and disseminate research knowledge. “To a large extent, our future successes will depend on Extension’s ability to alleviate the significant problems facing the people of Virginia,” Mr. Geasler said. : ADVERTISING < ; DEADLINES < i LOCAL < DISPLAY < ADVERTISING ! ► “Rappahannock News Ads, ’ Tuesday, 12 noon < " Combo Ads < * (one or more papers) < [ Monday, 3 p.m. < ' Real Estate Combo Ads < ' Friday, 4 p.m. * > CLASSIFIED 3 ; ADVERTISING < [ Rappahannock News * , Tuesday, 12 noon i > < , Horse & Farm < > Monday, 12 noon i > < ,Combo Classified Display* ► Monday, 3 p.m. * ► * , Combo Word Ads * ► Monday, 5 p.m. *

All that democracy means is as equal a participation in rights as is practicable. —James F. Cooper Margarita Piper, principal at Rappahannock County Elementary School, has sent all parents of RCES students a warning about a potential drug danger. “A number of police departments have alerted their communities about a new danger,” the warning begins. “It is a form of tattoo called ‘Blue Star’ and it is sold all over the United States. It is a small sheet of white paper containing blue stars the size of a pencil eraser. Each star is soaked with LSD. Each star can be removed and placed in the mouth. The LSD can be absorbed through the skin by simply handling the paper. “There are also brightly colored paper tabs resembling postage stamps that have pictures of Superman, butterflies, clowns, Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters i. W,tthem, These stamps are packaged in a red cardboard box wrapped in foil. This is a new way of selling ‘acid’ by appealing to our young children. A young child could happen upon these and a fatal ‘trip.’ It is also learned that little children could be given a free “tattoo’ by older children who want to have some fun or cultivate new customers.

These drugs are known to react very quickly and some are laced with strychnine. Symptoms are: hallucinations, severe vomiting, mood change and change of body temperature. Get to the hospital as soon as possible and contact the police. “This information has been confirmed with Sheriff (John Henry) Woodward.

In the Level II event, RCHS again brought home the top three trophies. Walter Frye took 1st place, Greg Smith placed 2nd, and Tommy Shoppet took a 3rd place trophy. Students who showed an early interest in the events prepared for several weeks in advance of the competition.

Landfill fears (Continued from Page 1) seeking a long-term agreement to take the county’s trash for disposal. The general response was “It’s your garbage. You solve your own problems,” he said. Engineers conducted seismic and/or soil borings on four sites. Hurt and Profitt Inc. found the Lee Farm on the Fodderstack Road and the Saltonstall tract on Route 622 unusable for a landfill based on shallow soil to bedrock in the first instance and soil with insufficient clay content in the second. Joyce Engineering’s seismic tests on the former Kuhn property, now owned by AWOW Partnership of Nokesville, between Ben Venue and Hillsdale, were not followed up with soil borings. The report filed by the Department of Waste Management’s regional consultant found this a ‘less desirable” site than the Stover tract since it lacked forest cover and had rock crops on the ridge crest, a general indication of shallow soil. Confirmation borings on the Stover tract showed the average soil depth to be 20 feet. “The depth ranged from 10 feet to 27 feet,” the consultant reported. In four of the five confirmation borings done on March 17 and 18, the groundwater table was not reached, he said. “Given the cost of drilling,” test borings were not authorized by the supervisors for sites judged unlikely to be suitable for a landfill, explained the board’s administrative assistant John McCarthy. Asked for the exact cost, he reported that the board spent $4,000 for the five holes on the Stover tract. State’s role explained Mr. Joyce reported that the Department of Waste Management’s regional consultant Robert Forman visited the Stover tract with a geologist and concluded that “it could be developed as a sanitary landfill.” An explanation of the state’s role in the permitting and monitoring process came in bits and pieces, part in opening statements and part in response to questions from the audience throughout the three-hour meeting. Mr. Wright explained that the department’s regional representative first looks for “visible features” which would limit a site’s use for landfilling: proximity to a flood plain or an aquifer recharge area, broken strata, bedrock at a shallow depth. If no limitations are observed, he recommends proceeding with the permit application. Then “subsurface scientific investigations” are conducted by a consultant who reports all findings to the Department of Waste Management for review, Mr. Wright said. The department points out limitations and critiques plans to compensate for those limitations. The department also reviews plans for the siting of monitoring wells. Groundwater data are collected so a base water quality standard can be established and used for comparison with samples to be taken regularly once the landfill is operating. Mr. Wright noted. In answer to questions, the department’s representatives said that: • Impermeable rubber liners are required in every trash trench to prevent leachate from escaping. A leachate collection system - piping to the core of the garbage mass - funnels out collected water for discharge after treatment, either onsite or at a municipal treatment plant. • Any leachate escaping from this collection system would show up in monitoring wells ‘long before it would reach any private, individual wells” in the vicinity of the Stover tract. Then additional wells would be drilled to intercept the potential pollutants. • Under current waste management standards, the distance between the bottom of the waste pile and the top of bedrock must be a minimum of five feet. • The regional supervisor will inspect an operating landfill “every six weeks to two months.” • The county is responsible for regular site monitoring. “Normally, this is done through a certified lab, and no lab is going to risk its certification by falsifying data,” Mr. Gregori said. Reports are filed with the Department of Waste Management. “And if, upon review of the findings, we suspect a problem, we send our own inspector out. ” • Wien a landfill is closed, the dome shaped trash pile is covered with a clay cap, a layer of soil and vegetative cover to ensure that rain water runs off instead of penetrating the buried waste. Resource recovery questioned Asked if his department is doing anything to encourage localities to cooperate in building and running resource recovery facilities, Mr. Gregori called this approach a “nonsolution.” Burning the trash presents its own set of environmental problems: ash by-product which might have a high concentration of dangerous heavy metals and air pollution from the incineration process. In addition, he said, the trash volume is reduced by only 80 percent through resource recovery; non-bilrnable items and left-over ash must still be buried in a landfill. With current technology, "You’re never going to get away from landfills in the general sense,”he advised. He noted that a recycling program can reduce the trash stream going into a landfill and lengthen its life. “But if the markets were there, somebody would be doing it (recycling) already,” Mr. Gregori said. Government could subsidize a recycling program but, like any aspect of solid waste disposal, that would take substantial tax revenue, he added. No shortcuts allowed With the existing landfill due to close within 90 days, Rappahannock needs a means to dispose of its solid waste as soon as possible, Mr. Gregori acknowledged. “As of July 1, you don’t have any place to go.” He emphasized, however, that the Department of Waste Management will not short-cut its permitting process to accommodate the county. But if the Board of Supervisors is “committed to a site” and tests continue to be favorable for its use as a landfill, the department “can permit a small portion of the site, enough to handle your trash for six months, to give you the landfill life you need for the evaluation and permitting process to be completed on the whole site.” And even then, “we don’t permit the entire 100 acres just like that. We permit it in phases,” say 20 acres at a time, “so we can keep technology up with any long term facility,” Mr. Gregori said. A reciprocal agreement? Someone in the audience reported that one supervisor has said Culpeper has agreed to take Rappahannock’s trash if Rappahannock likewise accepts that county’s solid waste. No other local government is willing to talk about even a short term contract unless the county has a contract to buy a piece of property to use as a landfill, responded Supervisor Nelson Lane. Supervisor A1 Henry added that the board is pursuing an exchange agreement whereby a neighboring county will take Rappahannock’s solid waste until a landfill is operating and then in return Rappahannock will take the same number of tons of that county’s trash. “We’ve got to do something,” the Jackson District representative concluded. “We can’t pile it in the fields!” Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations. — Orson Welles Absolute freedom of the press to discuss public questions is a foundation stone of American liberty. — Herbert Hoover NUGGETS OF TRUTH By Rev. Robert Dunphy, Pastor, EASTER MESSAGE From Family Worship Canter, Washington, Va. HE’S ALIVE (luke 24:1-9) How many times have you heard a preacher say on Easter morning; He is risen or He’s alive? How much did these words mean to you? If you are not saved, you might say, "how could He be alive, He died two thousand years ago.” Or, you might say, "I have never seen or heard Him, I'll believe it when I see it.” Can you blame them? No. Have they ever seen or heard Jesus through you? Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we, (bom again Christians) were buried with Him through baptism unto death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." The only Bible most sinners will ever read is you and me and if they are going to see Jesus, it will have to be through us Christians. But, many saved people will go to church on Easter morning and say, “that was good preaching". But they will go home and live the same old life they have been living. But, friends, when we come to the place where we really believe He’s alive and alive in us, we will change. We will show the world that He really is alive, (read John 17:21-23). Romans 8:8-10 says, “So then those who are in the flesh cannot please £God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, | he is not his." This to me is the Easter message; going about displaying the love, compassion and power of Jesus Christ. As the Bible reads in James 122; »We must dQgfs 0f thg word and not hearers only, or we are deceiving ourselves.’’ John 14:12 tells us Jesus said he who believes in me the works that I do he will do also, and greater works then these he will do, because I go to me Father, AND THE WORLD „ WILL KNOW HE’S ALIVE. Town Council (Continued from Page 1) Council agreed, and by a unanimous vote authorized Mr. Fisher to go ahead with the survey. Council also discussed the possibility of burying telephone and electric power lines at the same time trendies are excavated for the water system overhaul. Attorney Frank Reynolds was directed to contact Potomac-Edison about the procedure. Prior to approving the recodification of the zoning ordinances passed last August, Council discussed several matters which were not included in the ordinances. Specifically, “the need, or not,” said Mayor Morehouse, for parking and sign ordinances, and changes in the Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations to bring them into compliance with state law. The town’s Comprehensive Plan and Subdivision Ordinance were incorporated into the zoning ordinance by reference. William Strider, executive director of the Planning District Commission, had suggested at December’s council meeting that some demographic information be included in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Reynolds told Council that if any substantive errors are later found in the recodified ordinance, changing it will require readvertisement. Mayor Morehouse added that he had been told that previous councils had taken a number of actions which were not documented. He asked about the status of those actions under the new ordinance. “If they were not documented, and not filed,” Mr. Reynolds replied, “they’re probably not valid anyway.” “We know the town’s records are terrible,” Mayor Morehouse said. “We have asked members . to scrounge for records. If we need to add anything which is found, we can advertise and add it at the same time as (we advertise) the first set of amendments.” Mr. Reynolds added that the Planning Commission had reviewed each ordinance, but that it had not completed work on several items, such as parking and signs. Once the Planning Commission begins work again, he said, what has been done so far will be given to the commissioners. Mr. Reynolds explained that the recodification involved putting the ordinances, and the amendments adopted last August, on a computer and reassigning numbers in order. “It’s not changed at all from what passed,” Mr. Wickens added. "It’s only being presented in a form which is easier for the public to read.” The ordinance for recodification was passed unanimously. Mr. Wickens also presented a motion for repeal of a 1946 ordinance, which was recently discovered and, according to Mr. Wickens, lacks any evidence of having been repealed. The ordinance, he said, “is totally inappropriate to our present situation. It purports to regulate sodomy, bowling alleys, firearms and explosives, radios, drunks, pigpens, the discharge of noxious odors by mechanical means ... all enforced by a mayor’s court - of course we don’t have a mayor’s court. “Punishments are set forth in Article 96 of the municipal code - we do not of course have a municipal code.” In addition, Mr. Wickens added, “some of the ordinances are in direct conflict with state and federal regulations,” for example the radio ordinance conflicts with FCC regulations, and the highway ordinance is in conflict with state Department of Transportation regulations. The repeal of this ordinance, Mr. Wickens said, “may be viewed by some as making this a wide open town - but this is not the case - those things which need enforcing can be done by the State Police and the Sheriffs Department. Some other sections are covered by the new ordinance passed last year. “The other parts,” he concluded, “should be relegated to a well-deserved early grave.” After receiving a suggestion from a member of the audience that a copy of the 1946 ordinance be placed in Miss Ruby Jenkins’ First Washington Museum, for posterity’s sake, council unanimously approved Mr. Wicken’s motion for its repeal. In other action at last Wednesday’s meeting, council: • tabled a public hearing on expansion of the town’s Planning Commission from five to seven members, because the legal requirement for advertisement had not been fulfilled. Mr. Reynolds advised Council to take the action to prevent possible future legal challenges to actions taken by the Commission which might be based on the questionable expansion. • heard a request from Mayor Morehouse to have preliminary proposals for the upcoming budget ready for review at the May meeting. “We have all submitted wish list ideas; now we get down to brass tacks,” he said. “What we’re going to do - and what not.” The town’s budget for fiscal 198788 will be adopted at Council’s July meeting. • discussed possible candidates for the town’s Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals. Mayor Morehouse asked that a list of candidates be finalized by May so that it can be submitted to Judge Shore Robertson, who will make the appointments. Among the residents suggested as possible members of the two boards were Joyce Kramer, Ray Gooch and Pat Giles. • tabled, because of her absence, a suggestion from Council member Evelyn Willis that a citizen’s committee explore alternatives to raise revenue by broadening the town’s tax base. • discussed a request for a public telephone somewhere in town. Mr. Reynolds told Council that Centel no longer installs pay telephones because of need, but rather based on expected revenue. He added that the person who requests the installation is responsible for damages, as well as making up any shortfall in projected revenue from the phone. Council took no action on the request. • was told that forms for reporting the town’s 2 1/2 percent meals and transient lodging tax have been printed, and will be distributed to the restaurants and B and Bs shortly. • heard that requests for voluntary reports of revenue for the past several years will be mailed soon, with a covering letter of explanation, to all the town’s businesses. Public invited to help create mural The people of Rappahannock County are invited to participate in the creation of a mural on the theme of “Origins and Excavations,” which will be one of the events scheduled during the artist-in-residency of Val Dubasky, a painter from New York City who is spending April in Rappahannock. The mural will be composed of four interlocking panels, inspired by the four directions of traditional Native American thought. To become a whole person, it was believed, one must gain the qualities offered by each of the four directions; Wisdom from the North, Illumination from the East, Innocence from the South and Introspection from the West.
