We’re running for our lives.” That confession underlay the goal of a delegation from Amissville which met with the Rappahannock supervisors in a special session late last Thursday afternoon. The group’s mission: to persuade the board to abandon the 100-acre Stover tract as a landfill site and to seek instead a permit for a farm on Route 211 near Hillsdale owned by AWOW Partnership. And rather than petitioning the state to approve a landfill that would last upwards of 25 years, the county should apply for capacity sufficient for three to five years and simultaneously work towards a regional waste facility which would use the latest technology to convert trash to energy and other saleable by-products, advised Col. Ellis Bingham, the delegation’s leader. He told the supervisors that the state’s Division of Waste Management supports such a regional approach and maintained that a regeneration facility would be particularly appealing to the rapidly growing counties of Fauquier and Culpeper. He suggested that the five-county Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission coordinate the waste disposal and resource-recovery system, which he termed the best available from the standpoint of cost and environmen “We’re running scared... running for our lives.” - Col. Ellis Bingham tal protection. This system, which chews up refuse with foot-high teeth of solid steel, is particularly appropriate for rural areas where farmers and orchardists discard pesticide and herbicide containers, Col. Bingham said, adding that the toxic-bearing materials are so “diluted”, they release ‘‘minimal” dioxins into the air when burned. According to Col. Bingham, similar trash-to-energy systems have been used by two small Ohio towns since the early 1970s and by Dade County, Florida, which disposes of 300 tons per day with this method. Noting that the permit for the existing landfill will expire on July 1, Col. Bingham told the supervisors “if you extend that facility - which you can - the state will work with you. But that won’t be necessary if you work fast,” he added. He maintained that a short-term landfill on the AWOW Partnership’s property “What we tell you I is the way it is!” --Newbill Miller Hampton District Supervisor (the former Kuhn farm) could be approved quicker and would be less costly than putting a dump with a 25-year capacity on the Stover tract. “I’ll work my boonie off to get a regional facility,” Col. Bingham continued, adding that his services “won’t cost a cent.” Telling the supervisors that he has spoken repeatedly to Harry Gregori, director of the Division of Waste Management’s Public Policy Office, Col. Bingham guaranteed that “the state will bend over backwards to get this (regional facility) into operation.” But in response to questions from the board, he conceded that he had not yet talked to the Planning District director about the possibility of that agency sponsoring and coordinating a regional waste disposal facility. “I like to fight one battle at a time,” Col. Bingham said. Chairman Hubert Gilkey pointed out that the other four counties in the Planning District have either plenty of remaining capacity in their landfills or have recently acquired additional property for future landfills. “They don’t share this problem.” Asked which of the five counties would accept a resource recovery facility, Col. Bingham insisted that the money to be made through a regeneration system would offset any opposition. The plant would not only produce energy, he pointed out. “On the back, I’m going to propose that they put small electric smelters” which would melt down scrap metal and turn it into ingots, Col. Bingham explained. “If we can’t sell them to our own foundries, I know other countries that will buy them. They’ll come over here and pick them up.” “This board has never been against a regional facility, but we can’t get anybody in the region to go along with the idea,” said Chairman Gilkey. “And if they did, they’d want to put it in the least populated area, and we’d be taking EVERYBODY’S trash,” added Supervisor Nelson Lane. Col. Bingham stressed he was not proposing “something that size go in this county,” suggesting that “new blood” from jurisdictions with intense growth and development be asked to join in the regional trash disposal effort - and provide a site for the regeneration facility.

The city of Virginia Beach boastfully proclaims: “We built ourselves a mountain of fun” with 640,000 tons of garbage. That’s the weight of the compacted refuse that makes up Mount Trashmore, 68 feet high and 800 feet across at its peak. Located smack in the middle of a densely developed residential and commercial area, the mountain of garbage is the high point in a 160acre park that includes playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts and Lake Trashmore, a stocked fresh water lake that entices anglers with citationsized walleyes and striped bass. The park is host for the state’s soap box derby championships, skateboard competition, a waterski ing show, Fourth of July fireworks, Easter sunrise aenaces iwd jhigh school cross country ana other running events. In 1984, 378,766 people visited Mount Trashmore Park. According to information supplied by the Virginia Beach Parks Department, Mount Trashmore was the answer to environmental, ecological and sociological concerns. A radical concept Two decades ago, as the city’s population and property values increased dramatically, land available for solid waste disposal and public recreation dwindled. In 1966, a concept was proposed that addressed both aspects: convert an existing 50acre dump site to a recreation area following a plan developed by Roland Dorer, then director of the state’s Bureau of Solid Waste and Vector Control. The existing landfill was a semiopen trench and cover operation. Deep pit excavation was impossible with Virginia Beach’s high water table just six to eight feet below the surface and continuing the open trench would gobble up 50 acres in short order. So Mr. Dorer proposed making a mountain out of a trash hill. He believed that building upward would provide a much larger capacity; that it would offer additional protection to the groundwater table and that the site could be turned over to the Parks and Recreation Department after the dump was closed. The city purchased 110 acres surrounding the landfill site with the intention of converting that land into: • A 5,000-seat amphitheater with a soap box derby ramp. • Picnic areas, sports facilities and parking. • A sizeable fresh-water lake to be stocked with fish to offer expanded recreational opportunities. (Continued on Page 18) Adjoining properties9 values do not keep pace By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON BapMhannock New* Bteff Writer r ,». For inoat Americans, a house is the single biggest material investment they will make in a lifetime. (Material is added as a qualifier because for American parents, the cost of raising a child to adulthood still exceeds the cost of the average residence.) It is that substantial investment that they see threatened by a proposal to establish a landfill, dog pound, tannery or migrant worker camp next door. They view these and other uses as undesirable and see them as having an adverse impact on the value of their investment. That fear was voiced repeatedly by Amissville residents who live in the vicinity of the 100-acre Stover tract currently under consideration as the site of a county-owned and operated sanitary landfill. Their contention - that a landfill nearby will degrade property values - is generally accepted as fact, but evidence shows that there is no single clear answer to the question of what the proximity to a solid waste disposal facility will mean to the worth of property and to the landowner who wants to sell. Properties near Clark landfill lag behind county total The privately owned and operated landfill on Clifton Clark’s property near Woodville, permitted more than a decade ago, had been operating four years when the county underwent its last reassessment. In that reassessment, the overall worth of Rappahannock real estate skyrocketed by nine-fold, going from $11,850,000 in 1981 to $200,000,000 in 1982. According to the appraised values listed in the land books of the Commissioner of Revenue’s office, property near the Clark landfill did not appreciate at that same rate. The eight-acre landfill site itself had an appraised value oi $3,4UU ana jumped to $16,000 (though for tax purposes, it was valued significantly lower as hay-producing property in the use value assessment program). A 39-acre tract across Route 621 showed a quadruple increase in worth, going from $11,740 in 1981 to $46,900 under the new 100 percent fair market value assessment of 1982. Adjacent to that piece, 200 acres owned by Lane Industries likewise increased in value four times over. Two small parcels belonging to Robert Maldoven abutting the landfill site also quadrupled in value. Mr. Maldoven’s larger parcel of 37 acres buffered from the landfill by a small lot showed a five times increase over its assessment worth in 1982. Assessments jumped for all of the 20 parcels of record closest to the dump site, but none of the land values showed the nine-fold increase (Continued on Page 17) Rappahannock Round-up Inside Spring foraging provides a gourmet reward p. 10 Government at a glance • Board of Supervisors: Monday, May 4,10 a.m., Courthouse.

The day will kick off at 10 a.m. and the public is advised to arrive early since record crowds are expected to attend.A Civil War cavalry battle re-enactment between North and South will feature in the early festivities, beginning promptly at 10. Other events scheduled before and after the races will include parachuting, a demonstration of border collie sheep dogs working sheep and ducks, a retirement gallop by former Gold Cup winner Private Gary, the Fauquier High School Marching Band, a foxhound race, a parade of BMW automobiles, launching of a hot air balloon and parachuting, plus a live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby over the P. A. system. Then, of course, there are the races — 10 in all. Virginia’s premier timber race will headline a sevenrace card. The 4-mile timber classic will be endowed with the richest purse ever, $30,000, in the long history of racing over post and rail fences in this country. First run in 1922 for a delicate solid gold cup, The Virginia Gold Cup has attracted the finest timber toppers in the nation. All in all, the day of racing has a record purse structure of $100,000, putting the Virginia Gold Cup in the lead of sanctioned races both in Virginia and nationally. Another special race being offered for Saturday is the Stratford Arandel Newspapers file photo GREAT MEADOW PROVIDES a perfect setting for worldclass steeplechasing. Upon-Avon. At the same time that the Stratford-Upon-Avon is held here, a steeplechase classic called The Virginia Gold Cup is held in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. Each year, England and the United States exchange the trophies presented at these two races in a symbolic gesture. Other races include pony races shortly after noon and a junior race following. Here, at this prestigious race meeting, children can get a taste of glory. Four steeplechases will be run over the National Fences, manmade obstacles which allow horses to brush through at roaring speeds. Two other timber races will be run in addition to the Gold Cup. The meet is setting a record, offering both a timber and steeplechase stakes race. Stakes races lure top competitors by offering the highest purses and sanctioning by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association. Gates will close when 40,000 people have entered, according to chairman Arthur W. Arundel, who stresses the importance of arriving early. For those who miss admission, however, the Virginia Gold Cup will be broadcast in its entirety from the Great Meadow Race Course by WMJR-Radio, 107.7 FM. The radio station will also transmit traffic reports twice each hour (Continued on Page 12) Surplus draw could cut 30-cent tax hike By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Using $464,228 from the accumulated balance in the general fund to shrink a 51 percent tax increase to 33 percent, accountant Wally Cox has presented the Board of Supervisors with a draft budget of $5.9 million that demands a local real estate levy of 69 cents. Mr. Cox’s first draft of expenditures for 1987-88 reflects spending plans exactly as submitted by the county’s various departments, boards and agencies. This preliminary document comes in time for what promises to be only the first of a series of budget trimming exercises: Wednesday’s work session on the School Board’s $3,621,027 request. (The supervisors are scheduled to adopt the school budget at next Monday’s regular monthly board meeting. A public hearing last Wednesday on just the proposal for education expenditures lasted only eight minutes. Despite wide publicity that the increase in the 1987-88 school budget would mean approximately 17 cents more on the local tax rate, only a handful of people attended the hearing. The four who spoke - School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, Rappahannock County Education Association president Lynn Baines, Lee Bird and Diana Bird - all supported the school budget as submitted. Reaction to the sparse attendance was split between those who thought it would be viewed as no opposition to a tax increase for education and those who worried that it would be judged as lack of support for the proposed school budget.) In his budget message, Mr. Cox notes that the budget is based on an estimated $241,000,000 assessed valuation of locally taxable property, an increase of 12 percent over the current year. Relying solely on revenues to be generated in the coming fiscal year, a tax rate of 88 cents per $100 assessed valuation would be required to meet contemplated expenditures, the accountant reports. But by drawing $464,228 from the accumulated balance of the county’s general fund, that rate may be dropped to 69 cents. That draw will leave $285,772 in the general fund, come July 1,1988, Mr. Cox projects. The figure represents a decrease of about three percent in the $2%,802 expected general fund balance at the close of the current fiscal year. On the plus side, Mr. Cox estimates that state revenue will go up 28 percent to $807,635, the bulk coming in welfare programs (44 percent increase in state aid) (Continued on Page 18)

Hands Against Hunger asks $ The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network announced recently its 1987 Hands Against Hunger Campaign. The second annual event will be the m%jor fund-raising effort for 1987 program expenses. This year’s campaign will see two major changes. This will be a local effort and all the proceeds will remain in the food bank network’s service area to continue to provide food to the needy in the 23 counties and nine cities in the network. A direct mail request will be sent to every household asking for a $10 donation. A single $10 donation will provide a family of four with enough food to last three weeks, a food bank spokesman said. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network’s history is one of service to the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley. During and following the devastating floods of 1985, 500,000 pounds of food were dispatched to flood victims. Every day of the year the food bank provides food to the eli-- i the unemployed, the physically and mentally disabled as well as children. Through the hands of 600 member agencies, including day care centers, churches, food pantries, the Salvation Army, adult homes, emergency shelters for the homeless and other service organizations more than 12 million pounds of food have been distributed by the Food Bank Network since its inception five short years ago. Phil Grasty, executive director of the Food Bank Network, said, “We have been humbled by the support and encouragement of area citizens. We feel sure that again neighbors will reach out a hand to each other during the Hands Against Hunger campaign.” Hands Against Hunger mailing will take place the week of May 1723. All Food Bank Branches (Winchester, Verona, Charlottesville, Lynchburg) will be holding an open house Saturday, May 23, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Call Ctje fcappaljannocfe ilrtos at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos. 9* X 12* AREA RUGS Hemmed on Sides Reg. $5995 SALE $4995 ALVIN B.

The seminars are being sponsored by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in cooperation with the Virginia Beer Wholesalers Association, the Virginia Food Dealers Association, Marketing Education Inc., and Southland Corporation. “We feel that the time is right to hold these seminars for the benefit of our off-premise licensees,” said ABC Chairman J. David Shobe Jr. “The idea is to help develop the necessary skills that will enable sellers to deal with problem situations and understand what they can and cannot do regarding Virginia’s ABC laws and regulations.” Each seminar will last four hours and be divided into three parts. The first part will provide information on current ABC laws and regulations and a segment concentrating on methods of recognizing false IDs. The second segment will focus on Training for Intervention Procedures by Servers of Alcohol (TIPS). It will involve videotapes of potential troublesome situations and information on how to deal with problems which may arise while working at an establishment which sells alcohol. Through role-playing, participants will share their knowledge to develop appropriate ways of dealing with specific problems. The emphasis will be on a “hands-on” approach. The final section of the seminar will be a test leading to certification of the participants. The certification will be provided by the TIPS organization and will be valid for three years. TIPS is a private, Washingtonbased program developed by the Health Education Foundation Inc., of Washington, D. C. Each seminar is designed for a maximum of 30 participants. The deadline for registration is May 4. A list of nearby locations for the seminars follows (morning sessions are 8:30-12:30; afternoon sessions run from 1:30-5:30): • Charlottesville: May 12, Holiday Inn (1-64 and 5th St.), morning and afternoon sessions. • Fairfax: May 11, Holiday Inn Springfield (6401 Blandon Ave.), morning and afternoon (1-5 p.m.) sessions. • Fredericksburg: May 14, Fredericksburg Community Center (408 Canal St.), morning and afternoon sessions. • Harrisonburg: May 14, Holiday Inn (1 Pleasant Valley Rd.), afternoon session only. • Winchester: May 15, Aikens Sizzlin Steaks (2828 Valley Ave.), morning and afternoon sessions.

Oasis Spring Fesl Saturday A comparative tasting of coffees - and lots of water - at a major vine event? Yes, participants at the Oasis Vineyards Spring Festival in the Blue Ridge foothills on Saturday, May 2, wUl taste several different types of coffees and compare ( them. They will also have an opportunity to learn the differences among often confusing kinds of • cheeses. Not the usual fare for a gala wine festival. But participants will taste a number of wines also. The comparative tasting of coffees brewed from several different “gourmet” beans will be the final event in Spring Fest, the third annual May festival at Oasis Vineyard near Hume. Oasis events coordinator Corinne Salahi called the coffee tasting “responsibility in wine tasting” and said she hopes “everybody will take a half hour or so after their last sip of wine to comparison taste several different coffees before driving home.” Mrs. Salahi said: "The caffeine might help a little to offset the effects of food and wine, but more important is the amount of time that people will devote to tasting and discussing the coffees after they have finished their wine. Time is important.” A full range of Oasis wines, including those that have recently won medals in national and regional competitions, will be available at the festival. Mrs. Salahi pointed out that wine makers from California and Europe, as well as wine writers, consider most of the Mid-Atlantic region wines to be similar to their European counterparts, and not like California wines. “Our Cabernet Sauvignon is generally regarded like a French Bordeaux, rather than a Napa or Sonoma California wine,” she said, adding, “Oasis Chardonnay is light and balanced along the lines of a French white Burgundy or Macon wine, rather than a more assertive California Chardonnay.” Those and other wines will be available for purchase at the Spring Fest. Mrs. Salahi pointed out that many wine lovers are confused about the cheeses often served with wines. “Many people know Brie and Camembert are similar, but they don’t know how they are different,” she said. “And there is a difference between ’Swiss’ from America and Gruyere from Switzerland.” Platters of labeled cheese assortments for comparison tasting will be available along with the wines. Bottled waters are rapidly gaining attention, but are just as confusing as the different kinds of coffees and cheeses, Mrs. Salahi contends. “People hear about Perrier and Evian and Saratoga waters and others,” she said, “but they are often puzzled over the differences.” Among the events at the Oasis Spring Fest will be a comparative tasting of bottled waters. “Everybody has heard about the trendy Shiitaki mushrooms,” Mrs. Salahi said, “but many people don’t know what they are, what they look like or how they taste.” Shiitaki mushrooms, which are becoming a significant agricultural crop in Warren County surrounding the winery near Hume, will be offered at the festival. Other events include hot air balloon rides, the Joe Heary Jazz Quartet and other music, the famed grape-stomping contest, a cork hunt, wine and poetry contest, aerial acrobatics and winery tours. Other food specialities available will include crepes and Polish sausage. Oasis Vineyard is near Hume, between Warrenton and Front Royal on Route 635. Telephone (703) 635-7627. Admission to the Spring Fest May 2 is $5 at the gate (includes souvenir wine glass engraved with Oasis crest). Second Friday explores gardens Sissinghurst, the making of a garden, will be the next topic to be explored by the Second Friday Program Series at the Rappahannock County Public Library on May 8 at 8 p.m. Sally Sharp, former president of the Rappahannock County Garden Club, lecturer and photographer and creator of this narrated slide show, will present her slides on the large screen at the Gay Street Theatre in Washington in a program offered as spring-time fare in cooperation with RAAC, Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. She will discuss how Vita Sackville-West and her husband created a unique garden at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, England. This is one which is being featured in the National Geographic Guide to the British Isles, “Discovering Britain and Ireland.” In addition, Mrs. Sharp will present some of her outstanding slides of wildflowers in Virginia, a subject close to every nature lover’s heart in this area and especially now as spring is bursting forth. She will focus on use by man (culinary and me HAPPY BIRTHDAY B. B. Williams From Friends of Willis Chapel Real Estate f=> Eileen M. Day realtor ss.ss SELLING A FIXER-UPPER When a seller decides to market his home as a “Handyman Special”, some hard decisions will have to be made. The first decisions will probably be the choice between fixing the house up or selling it “as-is.” Before that decision can be made, the seller needs to know how much the house is worth in its present condition. The question of fixing it up may be academic. If remodeling was the seller’s strong point, the house would not be a “Fixer-Upper” in the first place. The first step is to get an appraisal as to just how much the property is worth in today’s market. The lower end of the market usually has the highest demand. The seller may be surprised at the market value. An estimate can then be made of the cost required to upgrade the house to market standard for a higher selling price. With this information in hand, the decision can be made—based on financial facts—whether it would be more cost effective to improve it or sell “as-is” for less money and leave the work for a willing buyer.

Schmidt weaves spells Claudia Schmidt sings songs that ease the anger and hurt of good love gone bad. Claudia Schmidt sings songs that invite a child to skip and dance in a circle of spring sunshine. Claudia Schmidt sings songs for gazing dreamily at mountains deco* rated with the white blossoms of dogwood and the sharp emerald green of new leaves. And “when Claudia sings a song, it stays sung,” as Garrison Keillor, creator and host of A Prairie Home Companion, put it. This Saturday night, Ms. Schmidt will be singing at the Gay Street Theater in Washington, her performance sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Her style doesn’t pigeonhole easily. She’s the next generation of the traditional folk musicians but she melds and mixes that genre with jazz, blues and pop to create a new acoustical music. In concert, she stamps old standards from Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer and Tom Waits as her own, making listeners forget that the familiar favorites were ever sung any other way. But the real show stoppers are her original compositions, destined to rank with the classics a decade or two from now. She draws on her years in the rural Midwest for stories of love, loss, humor and compassion. She can stun with an a cappella rendition of “Love is the Strongest Thing,” as she uses her voice with gospel fervor to build an emotional intensity rarely reached in acoustical music. Changing the audience’s mood at will, she’ll take sarcastic bites with “Hip to be Homeless,” and then soothe with a piece of pure poetry. She swaps instruments to suit the time, going from 12-string guitar FftCSH MEAT Fresh Rockingham Chickens ........49c i. 55c ait-iip PRODUCE Lettuce..2/85C Bananas.........^ ns. $1.00 GROCERIES Eggs Large “A".i 69c Gwaltney Bacon...............i n. $139 Hatfield Scrapple..............1n. 69c Sunbeam Home Style Bread .............t< «. 2/99c Pleezing Margarine............i ft. 39c Kraft Mayonnaise....^2 «. $1.69 Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinners..........7V««. 2/99c Bounty Towels ..jmu 79c WilMibiMhiplMbAhM^ibMhrib I Mother's Day % Bt#et !A[ponto3 p.m. ▼ Out mem indudes: *\ ■ 2(i6 of Beef, ■ uHth ‘Dressing, Ribs, ‘BaRfd Chicken, SeafoodMpudhtrg, ‘Baked Macaroni & Cheese ‘Rice, Vegetables, ‘Potatoes, Soup & Salad‘Bar, ‘Rods & Butter, ‘Desserts Aff You Core To Eat For Only $935 Children under 12 $535 ABERDEEN BARN S Located in The Holiday Inn rfgfo ** Route 29 South of Culpeper For Reservations call 703-825-1037 to mountain dulcimer to her favorite, the deluxe pianolin. It’s a rectangular wooden box with 52 strings that is plucked or strummed with the left hand and bowed with the right. Invented in Ms. Schmidt’s native Michigan in the 1940s, it has a sound kind of like a Middle Eastern oud and kind of like a cello - like Ms. Schmidt’s style, kind of hard to classify. “There were only 700 of them ever made, and they were sold door-to-door. I had to teach myself how to play it,” Ms. Schmidt explained. "In fact, I’m still doing a lot of experimenting to see how many notes I can play with the instrument.” She bristles a little at the music world’s need to fit styles in a definitive category like albums sorted in a record store. “My records have ended up in the folk bin, the country bin and the classical bin. What bin are you in today, honey?” she joked. "Our culture wants to categorize everything. Why do people have to do that? Why can’t they just sit and enjoy the music if they like it or not if they don’t? That’s the way I listen to music.” But she did come up with a description of her own: “creative noisemaking ... struggling to balance the forces of whimsey and despair.” “That’s as close as I want to get,” she added. “Let me put it this way. In New Baltimore, Michigan, where I grew up, my early influences were choir music and Motown. If that doesn’t breed eclecticism, I don’t know what will.” An evening with Claudia Schmidt is more than ah evening of music. She’s an entertainer who entertains with song AND story, infusing her concerts with down-to-earth anecdotes, poetry recitations, bits of history and tales so funny that the teller giggles along with her audience. She engages her listeners, making them feel that this is a performance especially for them. And it is, because no two of Claudia Schmidt’s concerts are ever alike. “When I sing in front of audiences, I think, *We are a community’, ” she explained. “And every community is different.” Ten years of performing across the United States and through western Europe in clubs, colleges, concert halls and folk festivals have taught her to connect with an audience rather than working through a set song list and rehearsed line of patter. “The themes will really vary from night to night,” she said. “One night, there will be incredible laughter and the very next night we’ll get into all kinds of heavy stuff. What happens in a performance is that I work with the audience from moment to moment.” The themes she strikes are as appropriate here in the Blue Ridge foothills as in the prairies and plains of her home. In fact, her “Midwestern Heart” could be rewritten as “Blue Ridge Heart”: “Midwestern heart/ big ornery thing/ beating away in the chest/ Loves too hard/ expects too much... moralistic, masochistic/ honest/ It throbs to simple fun .. .It resonates to rolling hills/ lush landscapes/ everything. ” Ms. Schmidt is on the road nine months of the year, but manages to stop long enough for recording dates and sessions with film crews. She has released four albums, one awarded an honorable mention as album of the year by Stereo Review. She recently starred in a half-hour television special, I Sing Because I Can’t Fly: A Portrait of Claudia Schmidt, and is currently working on the music for a film, Gap-Toothed Women, featuring Chaucer’s Wife of Bath, Lauren Hutton, Sandra Day O’Connor, Cleopatra, Saskia (Rembrandt’s wife and favorite model) and 30 other women possessing les dents du bonheur (the teeth of happiness). “Pretty fun!” Ms. Schmidt enthused. And “pretty fun” should be the reaction to her Saturday night concert. Tickets for the May 2 performance at 8 p.m. at the Gay Street Theater in Washington are $4 for students, $6 for RAAC members and $7.50 for the general public. For further information, call the RAAC office at 676-3193. s /, ■ RAAC services for concert For this Saturday night’s performance by Claudia Schmidt, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community will offer two special services. Old RAAC members who have forgotten to renew will have an opportunity to rejoin and others interested in giving their support can become first-time members of this non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the arts. And they can pay their dues BEFORE the concert so they can take advantage of the savings on admission. In addition to reduced ticket prices for live programs and RAAC’s weekly film series, membership brings a monthly newsletter with a movie schedule and information on the artists forum, upcoming instrumental and vocal concerts, plays, art shows, picnics, dance productions, talent shows and other RAAC happenings. In addition, for the first time this Saturday night, RAAC is enlisting the assistance of the Child Care and Learning Center to help parents who too often miss programs because they don’t know what to do with the kids. Trained child care providers will be available to babysit for infants to seventh graders at the licensed day care center on Route 211 just outside of town. Reservations are necessary and must be made by Thursday, April 30, to ensure arrangements for adequate staff. A nominal fee will be charged, the exact amount dependent upon the number of children enrolled. To reserve a space, call the RAAC office at 676-3193. (If the machine answers, don’t hang up; leave a reservation on the tape.) Should this trial babysitting venture be successful, RAAC plans to offer the service on a regular basis for its monthly programs. troll benefits Amissville VFD On Saturday, May 15, a golf tournament will be held at the South Wales golf course to benefit the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department.

V_—-> THURSDAY, APRIL 30.1987 Editorial Cruel and inhumane It’s like an annual spring ritual: complaints of animals being dumped along the roads in remote areas of the county. To most people, the idea of taking an unwanted pet and just putting it out along the road must seem incomprehensible. But, judging from the number of people who report such incidents, the practice must be more common than anyone would like to believe. To any human being with an ounce of compassion, the practice is cruel, callous and beneath contempt. A puppy or kitten has no chance of survival when left in the wild ~ without its mother or siblings ~ and even an adult pet used to being fed and cared for by its owners has only a faint glimmer of a chance. There are organizations which may be able to find homes for animals which are no longer wanted -- people who find themselves in that situation should use that resource. But, the solution to the problem is responsible pet ownership. The acquisition of a pet should not be a spur-ofthe-moment decision; based on that cute little puppy or kitten. Pets, like children, grow into adulthood — and if you’re not willing to care for them for life, you shouldn’t get them in the first place. If you decide to get a pet, please, have it neutered or spayed. There are enough cats and dogs roaming wild already, without your household pet running at night and contributing to the problem. And lastly, anyone with knowledge of a person mistreating or abandoning animals should report it to the Sheriffs Department or animal warden. There are laws against such practices, and swift prosecution of such criminals would likely deter others. Dogs, cats and other household pets are loving creatures, whose only flaw might be their unfailing devotion to their owners. They depend oh us - is it really fair, or humane - to let them down? Business momentum good in February With the exception of new car registrations, which continued a steep decline begun in January, the indicators used for measuring business activity in Virginia continued to show stability. According to Roy L. Pearson, editor of the Virginia Business Report, published monthly by the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary, the precipitous decline in car registrations was caused by consumers who rushed to buy cars in December to capitalize on the tax and interest write-off. Those tax breaks disappeared when the 1986 tax reform legislation became effective Jan. 1. February’s 16.8 percent decline in car registrations compared to last year’s figure paralleled a similar drop in January. “The question still to be answered in coming months,” Mr. Pearson observed, “is just how much car-buying was borrowed. When new car buying does return to a more normal level later in 1987, we can still predict that in most months it will be below the 1986 pace.” Building permits increased 5.4 percent overall in February, showing the 33.8 percent decline registered in January to be an apparent statistical blip. However, Mr. Pearson noted that February increase still remains “anemic” beside the 1986 annual average of 14.7 percent growth. Indirect evidence, Mr. Pearson continued, of the health of the economy in Virginia was provided by strong advances in both electricity and water consumption. He said those two indicators historically are tied to industrial production figures. However, Mr. Pearson cautioned, “the weather has wreaked havoc with our 1987 data to date as well as the patterns of economic activity, so little can be said with confidence at this time.” Data fouled by weather; reporting difficult The Bureau faced a perplexing problem in attempting to report, and interpret, the January taxable sales figures as filed with the Department of Taxation. He explained that retailers remit the sales tax due to the Department of Taxation in the month following the sales. Thus, sales tax records and payments for December’s Christmas season sales were arriving at the Department’s Richmond office just as the two mid-winter snowstorms in late January ground the Commonwealth to a halt. The subsequent delay in processing the receipts produced a statistical drop of 17.8 percent in retail sales for December, Mr. Pearson said. “From the Bureau’s sample of retail merchants and other reports, we know that retail sales actually were up significantly in December, not down.” The problem in reporting the data was compounded when the sales tax receipts which arrived late were processed by the Department of Taxation in February, along with the records for January sales. That, Mr. Pearson said, generated “spectacular” increases in the Department’s recorded sales tax receipts for January sales. In three areas sales skyrocketed by more than 75 percent. Contrasted with what he termed a “statistical aberration,” Mr. Pearson said that the Bureau’s sampling of retail merchants showed a small decline in actual sales during January. In sum, he said, the Department’s figures shifted some of December’s seasonably large volume of taxable sales to the normally slow month of January, which made the reported figures for each month unrealistic. The Bureau’s solution, Mr. Pearson said, was to average the two months together, then compare the figure with the average of the figures from December ’85/January ’86 to arrive at the percentage gain. . That averaged figure shows an 11.2 percent rise over the anmo fig. ure last year. Nationwide, excluding the automobile sales component, the average was 4.6 percent, which indi Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photc/Cindy Mahan THE WOODS AND FIELDS are bursting with the colorful dogwood and redbud blossoms, and a myriad of shades of green buds. y Letters to the editor A goal met To the editor: Thanks to the very fine people who responded with pledges for my participation in the Fodderstack Race, the Student Cooperative Association at the high school will be able to secure a VCR/TV for our media center.

To the editor: The Rappahannock County Recreational Authority would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all of those who helped with the Fod derstack 10K Race on Saturday, April 18, and also for the donations to sponsor trophies. It was a huge success! SANDRA BROWN BETSY MURRAY JEAN LILLARD MARGARET LEE DIANE BRUCE Saluting teachers To the editor: The Rappahannock Elementary School PTA is joining with PTAs across the country to celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week May 3-9. In days past, teachers were held in high esteem, revered members of the community, looked up to for knowledge. But today, as with many other things, it seems people may be more critical of teachers without taking time to say thanks for a job well done. This week, however, is a special time set aside to look for the positive - the wonderful things that teachers do every day. They nurture our children from kindergarten through 12th grade, taking time to look out for their scholastic needs as well as personal development. They take college courses to improve their skills, read journals and magazines to be aware of recent education developments and daily confront from 25-100 children, all with different needs and personalities. They inspire, cajole, encourage and perform to keep their interest and instruct our children. You can be sure it’s not an easy job! The RCES PTA this week will be honoring our teachers as well as the many other indispensable school personnel who take care of our children. Perhaps parents could encourage their children to write a note, a poem or in some way say thanks to that special person or persons who help them in so many ways to become a productive member of society. And a personal note from Mom or Dad to a teacher thanking him or her for something good they’ve accomplished certainly could help make their day. From the RCES PTA to all teachers and school personnel: We salute you and thanks for a good job! MEMBERSOFTHE RCESPTA Letters Letters to the editor on public issues are welcome. They must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number to be considered for publication. If possible, they should be typed and double-spaced. The best letters are concise. Freedom of choice To the editor: Once again our “fearless leaders” have decided that we, the public, are too stupid and ignorant to make decisions for ourselves, so our decisions are made for us in the form of laws complete with fines and penalties. I refer to the new law dictating seat belts to be mandatory. Now, don’t get me wrong! I am a believer in seat belts. I believe they work. Statistically an individual is more likely to survive an auto crash with a seat belt on than without. However, I am a believer in personal freedom more. Even if seat belts were 100 percent effective - which they are not — individuals should still have freedom of choice (even to make the wrong choice). Case in point: last year an auto accident, right here in Rappahannock County, threw a girl from the driver’s seat of her car. She emerged from the car unscathed but the front roof of her car was mashed down flat upon her seat, crushing steering wheel and all. It doesn’t take a genius to see that had she been strapped into that seat she would be dead! Isolated incident? I know of two others similar. Not the usual to be sure but as our legislators like to take bows for the lives “they saved” enforcing seat belts so should they r also be responsible for such lives taken due to that seat belt used by law when the driver, given freedom of choice, would not have used it. This has not, to my knowledge, been tried in the courts but perhaps it should be. On the TV news a few months ago we all heard... “drunken driver veers into crowd - kills three - he was not wearing a seat belt.” As if the seat belt were the culprit instead of the drunken driver. (The driver survived.) Now, let’s get back to that local accident. . . can you imagine a policeman congratulating that girl on her survival of a crash that would have been certain death, then issuing her a citation for not using that belt? Every year there are several new laws shoved at all of us which we had no opportunity to vote for or against, forbidding us to do that which we have been free to do for generations. We are all less free this year than last and will, no doubt, be less free next year than this. At least, we can still complain ... so far. Come on “big brother,” we are over-legislated to death! RICHARD W. PIERSON Amissville i The wrong reasons To the editor: If, in fact, water contamination would result from the location of a landfill at the proposed site near Amissville, then the objections of the residents are legitimate. But one can only infer from the arguments that landowners entertain gov eminent dignitaries and business associates, that it would be acceptable to locate the landfill adjacent to the yards of lower income minorities and any others of lesser nobility. JULIE MUSIC Sperryville J Thank you, Bud! To the editor: On behalf of the members of the Sperry ville Volunteer Rescue Squad, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly give a great big thank you to Charles “Bud” Corder for his organization, follow-up and hard work in making our recent fund-raiser a big success. Our win ners were Wilson Burke, Jack Clater, Larry Jenkins and Ann Martin. Through Bud’s tremendous efforts, we were able to meet the loan payment on our new rescue unit. Thanks again, Bud! JODY WINGFIELD Treasurer cates, Mr. Pearson said, that Virginia’s retail trade continues to maintain above average growth compared to the rest of the country. 1986 employment figures reported The Virginia Employment Commission’s annual revision for nonagricultural employment has been reported, and indicates a 4.2 percent increase, or 102,400jobs, statewide. Mr. Pearson observed that “while down from the exceptionally high 5.7 percent rate in 1985 and 4.9 percent in 1986, this rate continues to represent a healthy expansion.” For the purpose of visualizing the impact on the state’s economy, the Bureau said the 4.2 percent increase is roughly equivalent to add ing a metropolitan area twice the size of Charlottesville to the state’s economy. Leading the state in job growth was the Northern Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area. Growth in that area totalled 655,000 jobs, a 6.6 percent increase. It was, in addition, the only area to grow at a rate higher than the state average. The Bureau observed that the Northern Virginia area’s “overall balanced growth across private industry categories” produced almost 40 percent of the total increase in employment in the entire Commonwealth. The Lynchburg MSA was the only one to show a negative figure, with a drop of .4 percent employment from 1986. Closer to home, Charlottesville posted a 2.5 percent gain, with most of its increase coming from employment gains in the service (6.9%) and government (12.3%) sectors. Growth by job category varied widely. The greatest increase was in the construction sector, which jumped 10.6 percent, another indicator that the economy continues to show some signs of growth. Finance, insurance and real estate followed with an employment growth of 6.5 percent, while services with 6.3 percent increase and wholesale and retail trade with a 6.1 percent increase trailed. In terms of the number of actual jobs added, the service category topped the index, contributing 34,000 jobs statewide. It was followed by wholesale and retail trade (32,000) and construction, which added 16,200 new employees. From its figures, the Bureau concluded, the growth shown throughout Virginia in 1986 continues, albeit at a slower rate. Job gains in service and the trades have, unfortunately, been somewhat offset by losses in durable goods and manufacturing categories in other areas of the state. That trend is likely to continue. Those losses in manufacturing have not, however, been lost to the state. They appear, instead, to have relocated to different areas within the commonwealth. For the most part, however, the business outlook for Virginians in the immediate future appears to continue to be stable.

Artists invited to enter show All local artists are invited to participate in the fourth annual Virginia Patterns Art Show, May 15-16, at the John Barton Payne Building in Old Town Warrenton. The show is ' sponsored by the Fauquier Chapter of the Virginia Museum. This year’s show is being juried and judged by Baylor Nichols of Richmond. Mr. Nichols is the retired Associate Director of Fine Arts of the Virginia Department of Education. Currently he is a full time painter with several shows at the Virginia Museum in Richmond to his credit. Some aspect of the submitted work must deal with Virginia and the use of patterns is to be considered in the work. Categories of work to be accepted are: Paintings — watercolors, oils, acrylics, collage, and batik; Prints, Photos, and Drawings —pastels, photographs, etchings, lithographs, and serigraphs; and Three-Dimensional work — sculpture, fiber arts, ceramics, and papermaking. There is a $4 entry charge per piece with a maximum of four pieces. All work must be framed for hanging or properly prepared for display. There is a maximum size limit of 48 inch by 48 inch including frame. Sales are encouraged and a modest 10 percent commission is taken by the museum chapter for the sales. The show is held in conjunction with the Old Town Warrenton Festival, which is expected to draw thousands of people. For farther information regarding the show schedule contact the show chairman, 347-9098 evenings, 347-3883 (evenings), or 635-8111 (day). Democrats set public hearing Henry Lee Carter, Seventh District Democratic chairman, has announced that the Seventh District Committee will hold a public hearing on the 1988 delegate selection plan Wednesday, May 6, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Monticello Hotel in Charlottes viUe. The plan calls for a series of county and city caucuses throughout Virginia where Democratic voters will select delegates to congressional district conventions and the state Democratic convention. The conventions will select delegates and alternates to the Democratic National Convention which will be held in Atlanta July 18-21, 1988. The plan is similar to the one used in 1984 with changes reflecting the requirements to the Democratic National Committee. In the Democratic caucuses to select delegates to the state convention, supporters of any presidential candidate must have at least 15 percent of the caucus participants to be awarded any delegates. This is a change from the 20 percent requirement in 1984. Caucuses may have uncommitted delegates. Uncommitted delegates also must have at least 15 percent of the total tq receive delegates. Copies of the plan may be obtained from the Democratic Party of Virginia, 1001 East Broad Street, Richmond, Va. 23219. CMH sponsors health screen Culpeper Memorial Hospital is sponsoring a free health screen on Wednesday, May 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the hospital lobby. This health screen is CMH’s way of telling the community that “We feel good helping you feel better,” this year’s theme for National Hospital Week. The community is invited to take advantage of free checks for several health threats. CMH will provide screens for blood pressure, diabetes, anemia, and lung function. For those who wish to be checked for diabetes, it is recommended that they avoid eating or drinking after midnight before the test. An orthopedic surgeon from the Virginia Orthopaedic Center in Culpeper will be available to screen problems with hands, feet, and gait (walking). Dr. Russell Brear, Culpeper opthalmologist, will check participants’ eyes for glaucoma and vision disorders. Charla Reynolds, speech therapist, will perform hearing screens. Family Care Home Health Care Services will explain their home health services and CommuniCall, a two-way voice communication system for people who live alone. A nutritionist from the CMH dietary department will be on hand to answer questions about nutrition. If you have any questions, call the CMH Community Relations Department, 829-4307.

Front Royal, 703-635-5202 Some years ago I was standing on the beach with a man of science. We both were soaking up the beauty of the world around us. The sky was a sharp azure blue, not a cloud anywhere. The waves were whitecapping just enough to add a touch of beauty that would send an artist dashing for his canvas and a poet fumbling for his pen. But my scientist friend dashed in another direction. Said he, "You know, if you take one teaspoon of water from that massive ocean, the entire sea will have to readjust itself." That blows the mind! Yet, our God has so created life that even the smallest change is noticed by even the largest of God's creation. Jesus said that'' Not one sparrow falls" without the Father’s will and knowledge. (Matthew 10:29) God not only specializes in small things, but he is interested in them. However, small you may feel, you are not small in God's eyes. Go to worship this week and discover afresh, how much He cares for you. Meet Him at your place of worship and feel the NEW place He has for you.

Stress: A hidden cause of anger By JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock New* Contributing Now* When someone is very quick to anger, or seems lacking in patience, I often think about stress. Of course, there can be many reasons why a person may be quick to anger, but one of the most common reasons is stress. In fact, stress can be the hidden cause of many common feelings and behaviors. For example, some of the most common signs of stress include feeling tired, irritable, depressed, and/or unappreciated. To a more serious degree, stress can cause memory loss, problems in decision-making, or feelings of disorientation. Feelings of fear, anxiety and guilt may have stress as the underlying cause. Physical problems are also a common result of stress. This is seen in stomach problems like ulcers or gastrointestinal upsets Social psychology research has shown that there is a very definite correlation between amounts of stress and increased chances of illness or accident. Hard work is considered a virtue. But with too much on our schedules, with jobs, family, personal time, and household chores, it is easy to feel a bit overwhelmed. This frustration may be the real reason why someone explodes or gets much more angry than the situation warrants. If someone gets overly angry, more than the situation warrants or if someone verbally blasts you unjustly and you walk away scratching FAffliLY rdCUi your head, wondering why in the world they got so angry, remember they may be under a lot of stress. Their stress is the real problem, not you. Or, if you find your patience wearing thin and you are quick to anger — check it out — you may need to lighten your load. It may make you feel better; and it will make life a lot more pleasant for people around you. (John Borgens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Formerly the director of an area mental health clinic, he recently opened a private practice with offices in Washington and Madison.)

The healthy way to flavor food is with a pinch of parsley, a sprinkle of sage or a bit of basil. If you’ve relied on prepared herb mixtures on the grocery shelf, you now have a fresher alternative. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has just published the brand new 1987 Virginia Herb Guide, which lists 13 locations in the state where you can purchase a variety of fresh and freshly dried herbs. Many of the growers also have herb vinegars and teas, herb wreaths and herb plants for home gardening. To receive a copy of the brand new Virginia Herb Guide, send a self-addressed, stamped, business-size envelope to Herb Guide, VDACS/Division of Markets, Room 801, P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, VA23209. Here are some timely hints on herbs: • Store herbs in glass jar away from light and heat. The flavor should last up to one year. • Dried herbs are more potent than fresh herbs: 1/4 teaspoon = 2 teaspoons fresh. • If you are unfamiliar with the flavor of an herb, try adding it to a small amount of butter or cottage cheese. Let the mixture stand about an hour to absorb the flavor. Then try it on a plain cracker. At Virginia Gift Shop... The Tradition continues...

Rappahannock Journal L j • Farm f • Business i • Garden • Rural life Forage walk reveals spring’s bounty - and its beauty By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Mother Nature created potatoes so that cooks wouldn’t have to spend four hours peeling Day Lily tubers for dinner. I learned plenty from a forest foraging expedition along the banks of the Thornton River last weekend, but that potato lesson may stay with me long after I’ve forgotten what Asarum Virginicum looks like. “Unless you’re going to eat game or fish, it would be difficult to sustain yourself on a diet of things you find in the wild,” said Lyt Wood, the forestry consultant and nature enthusiast who was our guide on the Sunday morning outing. Truer words were never spoken. On a three-hour hike beside the river, over rocks, up hills, through pasture meadows and atop a ridge, we gathered bags of wild “veggies” for lunch, but the harvest had a sameness. Planning menus around our pickings would be like planning menus around the selection of lettuces from the comer grocery. Still, while variety may be the spice of both life and dinner, the lesson was valuable. As scouting adapts to modem fTmes, leaving behind the lessons on outdoor self-sufficiency that were once hallmarks of its progams for boys and girls, fewer of us adults know what to eat if we should ever be stuck in the woods, lost and hungry. Maybe that’s to be expected when we have fewer and fewer patches of forest beyond walking distance of a fast food outlet, but foraging skills remain useful to those who camp and hike. Besides, foraging has other advantages. It gives purpose to those goaloriented folks who feel guilty about taking wehkehd h'durs from house-4 work or yard chores for an unproductive stroll in the woods. DUTCHMAN’S BRITCHES, THOUGH INEDIBLE, are a beauty to behold. There’s a tremendous sense of satisfaction that comes from being able to find the makings for a stirfried side dish in the backyard wood lot. Foraging lore can give kids marvelous tools for make-believe. They can pretend to be downed pilots in an untracked wilderness, surviving on nature’s bounty until the rescue party arrives. Or they can be pioneers, gleaning nourishment along the wagon trail. All they need for these pretend games is knowledge 'of ' * a few easily found and easily recogr nized edibles.

It can make us all born-again conservationists. While I scanned the forest floor for the plants Lyt Wood, had described, I saw scores of others which ordinarily would have passed, unnoticed under foot. Peeking through last fall’s dead brown leaves, there were the first wildflowers of the new ^season: blood root, whose tulip-like white blossoms open to a golden center, three-lobed hepatica in blue and white, dainty Spring Beauty and flashy Dutchman’s Britches. Poking their way up to daylight, the leaves of wild orchids promised even showier blooms in the months to come.

I followed the track where they slid the logs to the river and spied the holes in the far bank where they’d built their underwater lodge. In between the dry stumps chewed in past years were oozinjj markers to more recent beaver labors, surreal and sticky with rising sap that stained the wood a mottled mixture of gray, red and black. Mounds of empty shells showed where a squirrel had dined. In the most unexpected places, I stumbled over clumps of double.^ flowered, old fashioned daffodils^ perhaps planted by some earlier homesteader whose cabin had long since been swallowed by the forest. But other signs of man’s presence weren’t as benign. In a clearing where the Thornton bends close to 'the state road, making the riverside more accessible, beer cans - some with labels faded to illegibility, others with the brand colors and logos still bright - showed where partyers regularly gather. In other spots, red clay stained the water, the run-off from ill-considered bulldozing done simply to make the walk down to the river easier for the future residents of a new hilltop home.

He’s picked up foraging skills along the way: by listening to the country and mountain people from older generations, by reading books on herbal remedies and wild plants and studying the illustrations and by trying bites of this and that (a practice he doesn’t recommend to the uninitiated). 1 WHY WAIT FOR WEEKS?

But he stuffs a trowel and plastic bags into his rucksack whenever he’s out walking and keeps one eye cocked for wild plants with medicinal value and wild plants that will simply add beauty to his yard and woodlot. “The ‘experts’ try to keep it (foraging) inaccessible and esoteric,” he complained. “But it’s not. This area has edible wild plants that anyone can find.” And find them we did. To liven up and color our salad, we picked the buds from red bud trees and spice bushes. Then we snapped twigs from the spice bush for tea made by just steeping the pieces in boiling water. Along the river, we dug up day lilies.

Dandelions: Gardener’s bane; but they’re gourmet’s delight By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Aaant Weeds are as much a part of life as living and dying. Dandelions are no exception. For the fastidious gardener, dandelions bring nightmares when they pop up to mar an otherwise beautiful thick green carpet. Some gardeners no doubt have learned that dandelions can bring forth many mouthwatering dishes. Not only the leaves but the seeds, buds, and flowers as well can be eaten. Each has its special place in the menu of those adventuresome individual^ who have learned and are willing to gather tasty things from the wild. Learning to gather and use these special and often unwanted plants will serve a two-fold purpose. First, it will cut the dandelion population in your yard and garden. Secondly, it brings an economical tasty dish to the table. Not all parts of the country look upon dandelions with such disgust. In Vineland, N.J., they are grown for profit. A restaurant owner has featured a dandelion dinner on the menu for some years. Research has found dandelion leaves to be a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Flavorwise, they have a somewhat bitter taste compared to other greens we consume. For this reason, it is often best to use only the young tender leaves and then sparingly in raw salads. Once the plants begin to flower, the leaves become too fibrous and bitter to use. ine waves may De cnoppea and served as a wilted dandelion salad in much the same manner as lettuce is served. Simply prepare a sugar, vinegar, and butter or bacon dripping dressing to taste; bring to a boil. Pour over the chopped dandelion leaves and serve immediately. This brings us to the second part of the dandelion plants — the blossoms. Aside from their use in making dandelion .wine, they are tasty filed in a tempura type batter. A drawback in their use on the dinner table is that they must be picked while still open (between midmoming and late afternoon) and then used quickly so as not to allow them to close or fade. The buds are also tasty. The same rule applies when picking the buds as applies to the blossoms. One must make sure that there are no traces of stem left anywhere. Stems are bitter while the buds and blossoms tend to be sweet. Buds may be sauteed in butter or cooked with other foods. If you are blessed with an abundance of patience, time, determination, and a sense of adventure, then you may enjoy processing the last part of the dandelion plant - the seeds. Take a business-sized envelope into the yard or field that has an abundance of those familiar puff balls that have been the delight of children for years. Calling upon stored up patience, carefully coax each ball into the envelope. After about a dozen of these puff balls have been captured and placed in the envelope, close the envelope and gently rub fingers over the paper. This servos to separate the seeds from the filaments. Remove the filaments that can be taken easily. Set aside the envelope containing the seeds in a dry place for a week or so to dry thoroughly. Then place in a jar and use as other seeds are used. To sprout for salads and other dishes, simply place seeds in small jar and fill with water. Let stand overnight. Cover the jar with dense cheesecloth. Drain water off seeds, being careful not to allow the seeds to escape through the holes of the cloth. These seeds may be treated M *ny other seeds used for sprouting. Depending on the weather, they may need rinsing once or twice a day and the jar allowed to rest on its side to allow drainage. The germination time is s bit longer than some sprouting seeds. In 7 to 10 days, «mnll nutritious tender shiny green and tasty sprouts should have appeared. In medieval times, the dandeKon was considered to be a medicinal herb. Perhaps the dandelion can be helped to overcome its bad reputation by cultivating tastes and changing habits. Learn to throw these green weeds in the pot rather than in the trash. Following are some recipes to try. Dandelion bud omelet 1/2 c. unopened dandelion buds 1/2 c. finely chopped onion 2 T. butter Dash Worcestershire sauce 5 eggs 2T. milk or cream 1/2 c. grated cheese Salt and pepper to taste Beat eggs and milk. Set aside. Saute onions and dandelion buds quickly in melted butter. Add dash of Worcestershire sauce and stir. Pour egg mixture, over the sauteed mixture. Cook over medium high heat. Using a fork, dredge from outer edge to center several times around the pan. When egg begins to coagulate, turn it over to cook the other side, using spatula. When cooking is complete, sprinkle grated cheese on top of egg. Fold egg in half to allow cheese to melt. Using spatula, place on warm platter or plate. Dandelion wine 1 gal. fresh dandelion blossoms 2 lemons 2 oranges 2 grapefruit 1 c. raisins Approx. 5 lb. sugar 1 pkg. dry baking yeast Cut unpeeled lemons and oranges and peeled grapefruit into sections. Add fruit, including raisins, to dandelion blossoms in large stainless steel or enamel pot. Add 1 cup sugar. Pour into it 2 gallons boiling water and stir with wooden spoon. Let cool until lukewarm, then stir in yeast. Cover with towel and lid, and let git one week, stirring once daily. At end of the week, strain out fruits and flowers by pouring concoction through cheesecloth. Wring excess liquid out of fruits and flowers as you strain. Add about 4 pounds of sugar to taste (the liquid should be very sweet at this point). Let sit in covered pot 5 more days, then bottle in sterile wine bottles with screwon lids. Do not tighten screw-on lids until fermentation ceases — about 3 weeks. You can listen to the bubbling in the bottles to tell when to seal them. Store in dark, cool place at least 6 months, the longer the better. Makes 1 gallon.

Later, the unopened orange blossoms may be sliced and added to the vegetable medley in the wok and later yet, the ftilly opened day lily makes a colorful addition to a garden salad. On a wooded hillside, we found Virginia ganger, its unusual brown flowers just beginning to push through the mat of dead leaves. Raw, A8arum Virginicum has a bitter, peppery flavor. Cooked, it adds a hint of the traditional Oriental ginger taste. Wood said that another wild ginger root is a better spice, but its green kidney-shaped leaves had yet to appear, so to find it, a forager had to have marked its spot last year. From a stream bed, we took watercress and from everywhere, we pulled the ubiquitous wild garlic. A low, wet area was full of garlic mustard, which grows in clumps that look like wild violets minus the flowers and with leaves a lighter green and wavy-edged. We picked wooly, fibrous fiddle heads (the term used for any new fern growth) from the graves of last year’s Christmas ferns. This variety is not the best tasting, Wood conceded, noting that it has a resiny flavor, but Christmas fern fiddle heads were the only ferns up. Our forage feast drew mixed reviews. The 12-year-old who hates onions passed on the dishes that included wild garlic. He and the eightyear-old and the 11-year-old left day lily tubers, both from the stir-fry and the salad, scattered on their plates. The grown-ups ate every bite, but then, they’d walked, scrambled and dug, slid down mud banks and pushed through briars to get the stuff. There was one clear winner of a recipe, however. It was generally agreed that forage butter should be added to everyone’s culinary repertoire. (Then again - and in the interests of journalistic accuracy — ANYTHING tastes great on freshfrom-the-oven, home-baked bread.) Forage Butter 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened 1/2 cup garlic mustard, finely chopped 1/4 water cress, finely chopped 4 bulbs of wild garlic, including tender white portion of the stalk Whip the butter. Add chopped greens and minced garlic. Blend thoroughly. Serve on bread, crackers or baked potatoes. For those who want to go no fiurther than the front yard, here’s a dandelion wine recipe for home place foragers. This requires practicing delayed gratification, as the brew won’t be ready for drinking for five months. But it will be a reminder of spring when the days begin to grow short this autumn.

The State Police and the Fauquier County Sheriffs department have been coordinating months in advance for traffic control at Fauquier County’s biggest event. Sergeant M. D. Dowdy of the State Police said they will “do the same thing as last year. It worked great so we’ll do the same. They have an extra general admission gate and that should help.” Sheriff Ashby W. Olinger agreed. “Last year it was blocked up for a little while but everything worked out fine,” he said. Aside from traffic, the sheriffs department will work on crowd control on the Great Meadow grounds. Forty county deputies will work in all, and the State Police will assign 17 troopers and three supervisors to help in traffic control. The Jaycees will assist in parking the cars. The cars are, naturally, one of steeplechasing’s top attractions. Tailgating, or elaborate picnicking, is a popular sport at the races and this year awards will be given for those with the best fine tailgating has to offer. Three categories will be considered in the tailgaiting contest —best theme, most elegant and The Publishers Award for originality and elegance in the spirit of Mid-Atlantic Country. Apple Blossom 10K set for Saturday The sixth annual Apple Blossom 10K May 2 will offer runners a chance not only to compete against themselves and other athletes, but also an opportunity to take part in one of the premier regional festivals in the Eastern United States: the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. The 6.2-mile race will be staged on a course that runs through Winchester’s Historic District and partially covers the route for the 60th annual Grand Feature Parade. Several thousand spectators are expected to line the race route. The Apple Blossom 10K is run over hard surface roads and is a mainly flat course. However, there are several challenging hills and inclines, especially near the finish of the race. Aid stations are set up at three points along the course (11/2,3 and 4 miles) and the course is patrolled by more than 100 race marshals. The race is electronically timed by a professional crew with computerized results available. Runners also will be provided with splits at the aid stations. Starting time for the race is 11:30 a.m. The field for the event is expected to top 500 runners with the vast majority of participants falling into the novice category. Sponsored by The Winchester Star, the Apple Blossom 10K has an entry fee of $10 for late entrants. The first 600 applicants to pay the registration fee will receive a race T-shirt. Fodderstack site for bike-a-thon A Bike-A-Thon to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Bike-AThon route is the Fodderstack Road, which runs between Washington and Flint Hill. Bikers participating in this fundraising event will begin at the Episcopal Church in Washington, turn around near the Flint Hill Fire Hall, then return to Washington. Donations to the riders are pledged per mile ridden and collected by those participating after completion of the event. Refreshments will be served to participants at the halfway point and upon their return to Washington. Founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude Children’s Hospital is the largest cancer research center in the woricl. Tt ri first and only institution established for the sole purpose of conducting basic and clinical research into catastrophic childhood diseases.

Competitors age 55 and older will vie for gold, silver and bronze medals in more than 25 sports categories dining the Virginia events. Among the activities are tennis, golf, running, walking, swimming, cycling, softball hit and throw, basketball, ten pin bowling, track and field, riflery, table tennis, jump rope and badminton. Less strenuous activities include billiards, bridge, canasta, checkers, croquet, fish casting, frisbee throw, horseshoes, and miniature golf. A variety of social activities is planned as part of the weekend, including a barbecue dinner, casino night/wine and cheese party, a dance, and historic and mall tours. Expired certificates may be redeemed Original holders of generic commodity certificates that expired December 31, 1986, through March 31, 1987, may request that the certificates be exchanged for cash. To apply for payment, original holders must return expired certificates by May 31 to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation county offices where they were issued, along with a written request for their exchange for cash. ASCS county committees will review the requests, and, upon approval, will authorize payment for expired certificates equal to the face value minus 15 percent for handling and another 4.3 percent required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The expired certificates may not be exchanged for commodities in the Commodity Credit Corporation inventory. The offer to pay original holders for expired certificates is being made one time only. Because the use of commodity certificates is relatively new some original holders were unaware of the importance of using the certificates before their expiration date.

Pack 50 holds Pinewoodrace AmissviUe Cub Scout Pack 50 held its annual Pinewood Derby Race April 21. First place for the fastest car went to Wesley Welk, while the second place trophy was awarded to Michael Wharton and third place to U.S. still short of organ donors As the nation prepares for National Organ/Tissue Donor Awareness Week, April 26-May 2, more than 250,000 Americans are estimated to be waiting for some type of transplant surgery; yet only 2,500 of them will actually receive the needed organs. Key to this fact is that although surgical procedures are quite advanced, a critical shortage of organ and tissue donors remains in this country. The precious gift of organ and tissue donation provides a tremendous opportunity to save and improve the lives of thousands of Americans. Donor Awareness Week Herb Guild to hold plant sale The Goose Creek Herb Guild announces its sixth annual Herb Plant Sale to be held on Friday, May 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Middleburg Community Center on U. S. Rt. 50 in Middleburg. The Guild will have more than 2,000 plants for sale, including 150 varieties of herbs and flowering plants. Among the flowers will be a wide choice of everlastings which dry easily and keep well, ideal for dried flower arrangements. In addition to everlasting flowers, there will be many flowering plants such as astilbe, blue salvia, coreopsis, foxglove and others which complement the herb garden. More and more cooks are discovering the excitement of using herbs in the kitchen. Many culinary herbs such as dill, rosemary, sage, thyme and basil will be available in several varieties. If you think basil is just basil, you are in for a big surprise; there will be five or six varieties of basil. This year, for the first time, a few choice old-fashioned roses will be offered for sale. Roses are considered to be herbs, and the advantage of the tried and true old-fashioned varieties is that they are disease and pest resistant which means less care, and more importantly, less chemicals required. Another first this year will be an offering of a few special garden accessories such as small statuary. Also for sale will be some interesting clay containers including strawberry pots. For information about the plant sale or membership, call (703) 7772947, (703) 777-8420, or (703) 5548594. Chris Kinard. The ribbon for the best-looking car was won by Daniel Hitt. The award for the most original looking car went to Joshua Waddell, and the judges recognized Anwar Mallory for his most unusual car entry. is a good time to start thinking about organ and tissue donation. Anyone who would like to become a donor should make their intention known by completing a donor card and keeping it in their wallet. A Uniform Donor Card is a part of your driver’s license. Most importantly, persons should inform their family, physician and clergy of the intended donation so that at the time of death it is not forgotten. Transplants are possible only because people care enough to become donors. LFCC helps adults return A seminar designed to simplify college and university admission for new and returning working adult students is scheduled at Lord Fairfax Community College on Wednesday evening, May 13, between 6:30 and 7:30. A feature presentation by Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Bachelor of General Studies at James Madison University, will highlight a special program available through JMU in cooperation with Lord Fairfax Community College. The Bachelor of General Studies program makes available to the adult student an opportunity to complete a university education according to individual needs, personal goals and time schedules. The program accepts adult students where they are and designs individual studies in terms of where they want to go. This approach has become increasingly popular with adults who are working in jobs, homemakers with limited time, adults who want to move into career fields requiring a college education, and women who are preparing to enter the salaried work force. These “Getting Into College” seminar sessions feature information on community college and university admissions and transfer procedures. These include referrals for financial aid and counseling services, college catalogs and current schedules of fall classes. Interested new or returning students may arrange for college admission assistance and use of the University-College Transfer Center services. A “hot-line” phone to numerous four-year colleges and universities is available without charge at Lord Fairfax each day. A new edition of The Transfer Information Bullentin published by the Community College will be given to each person who attends the “Getting Into College” seminar. This publication includes helpful tips on getting into two-year and four-year colleges plus a comparison of costs, programs of study and services available at colleges or universities in and around Virginia. The “Getting Into College” seminar is open to the public and free of charge. It will be held in the Lecture Hall (Room 40) at the college campus in Middletown. For more information contact the University-College Transfer Center at Lord Fairfax Community College, (703) 869-1120, Ext. 117 or 118.

Commuters lose HOY access Thousands of commuters in Northern Virginia will have one-half hour less to use the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) express lanes on the Shirley Highway (Interstates 395 and 95) in the afternoon, beginning Monday, April 27. The hours, currently 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., were set to end at 6 p.m. by the Commonwealth Transportation Board at its meeting Thursday in Richmond. The action complies with an amendment to the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 enacted in April by Congress. The board approved a motion by Donald S. Beyer Jr., urban-at-large member, to comply with the amendment. As part of the action, Beyer, a Northern Virginia resident, further moved that the Virginia Department of Transportation “continue to cloreceives biology award Robert Ashton Baines, of Washington, was among the RandolphMacon College students honored for their academic achievement at the college’s annual Honors Convocation in Blackwell Auditorium on April 23. Mr. Baines was the recipient of the William Neal Cunningham Memorial Fund, awarded to a student majoring in biology who demonstrates consistent excellence in environmental and non-medical biology. He is the son of Rufus A. and Lynne Baines, also of Washington. Baines seiy monitor vehicle and passenger counts to document the current and future needs for an expansion of HOV hours; and that the board will continue to press vigorously the basic principle that the authority and responsibility for managing Virginia’s highways rests with the Commonwealth Transportation Board and not with the U.S. Congress.” The Shirley Highway HOV express lanes are reserved for use by vehicles carrying four or more persons during the designated hours. They have served as models for other transportation systems in the country. “This action could discourage the continued growth of ride-sharing in that high-volume corridor,” Commissioner Pethtel said. “But we are forced to comply with the new legislation or nearly $2.4 million a year will be withheld from Virginia’s federal highway construction funds.” If Virginia and the District of Columbia do not comply with the amendment to the federal law, they ' stand to lose one percent of their annual highway apportionments.

State Convention which will be held at the Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia May 4-6. Heart Association disavows diet A diet that claims you can safely lose 10 pounds in three days and up to 40 pounds in a month is being circulated around Virginia and falsely bears the name of the American Heart Association. Among its more appealing features are high cholesterol items such as ice cream, hot dogs, and cheddar cheese. According to Robin Sorrentino, R.D., a member of the American Heart Association’s Virginia Worksite Task Force, the rapid and safe weight loss associated with the diet simply isn’t true. “The fake AHA diet is low in calories because it is limited in the amount of food,” she says. “But it is also low in carbohydrates and B-vitamins and high in sodium, fiat and cholesterol.” Ms. Sorrentino says that in order to safely lose one pound in a week, daily caloric intake must be cut 500 calories per day. “The average woman needs about 1800-2000 calories per day to maintain her weight; the average man needs about 2400,” she says. “Rapid weight loss, more than 8-10 pounds in a month, can be harmful because it necessitates losing muscle tissue as well as fat without the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids that your body needs every day to function properly.” “Also when you lose weight rapidly you tend to gain the weight back for two basic reasons,” Ms. Sorrentino says. “First, you haven't given yourself the time to learn new eating habits to maintain your new weight, and secondly, a diet with a very low calorie content that promotes rapid weight loss slows your metabolism. Your body doesn’t need as many calories, so when you go back to your old eating habits, you regain the weight.” The bogus diet boasts that any individual can lose 10 pounds on its three-day, step-by-step plan with four days of eating “normal food.” In addition, it claims that an entire month of this “three-days-on, fourdays-ofF’ diet can result in a 40pound weight loss. The diet is structured on a daily intake of approximately 1,000 calories. About 45 percent of the daily intake is fat found in its generous allowance of hot dogs, ice cream and cheese. The American Heart Association, which has received approximately 50 telephone calls to offices statewide in recent months about the bogus diet, recommends that normal, healthy adults follow these medically proven dietary guidelines: 1. Total fat intake should be less than 30 percent of calories. 2. Cholesterol intake should be less than 100 mg. per 1,000 calories, not to exceed 300 mg. per day. 3. Protein intake should be approximately 15 percent of calories. 4. Carbohydrate intake should constitute 50-55 percent or more of calories, with emphasis on increased complex carbohydrates. 5. Sodium intake should be reduced to approximately 1 g. per 1,000 calories, not to exceed 3 g. per day. 6. A wide variety of foods should be consumed.

Interestingly, the smaller, three-fold increases came for properties with interposing buffer lots between them and the landfill while actual adjoining properties had larger five-fold increases in appraised value following the 1982 reassessment. There were no sales figures for properties near the landfill to compare with sale prices of comparable property elsewhere in the county. Judging from the records, the only land to have changed hands since the Clark landfill opened is one tract which passed to heirs upon the death of the landowner. Assessments dropped 25 percent Years of litigation over alleged danger to groundwater preceded the opening of Montgomery County’s Oaks Sanitary Landfill in 1982. To reflect the environmental risk, tax assessors in this rural Maryland county applied a 25 percent “economic obsolescence” decrease to several properties near and adjacent to the landfill. The depreciation was applied in 1984 to the previously assessed value from 1981, the year before the landfill opened. According to the Montgomery County Assessment Office, “the basis for this depreciation was largely political and subjective,” reports the National Solid Wastes Management Association’s Technical Bulletin 861. “It was not made with regard to market data; instead, it accommodated area residents” who believed that their properties’ value had fallen. “In effect, the reduction was a form of compensation to the property owners who felt their property was adversely impacted,” the bulletin concludes. The federal Environmental Protection Agency attempted to determine a landfill’s impact on property values using market data in a 1972 study prepared by General Behavior i Systems, Inc. Researchers compared the variance of assessed values in “near-site” residential areas to that for comparable properties in more distant areas. They concluded that solid waste disposal sites have no apparent negative effect on changes in property values for single-family dwellings. The study also found that the value of vacant lands adjacent to some sites was increased by post-closure development plans that included parks and other amenities. Reliance on assessments faulted However, this EPA study, never completed beyond the draft stage, was faulted for relying on assessed values. Critics pointed out that an assessment for tax purposes is not necessarily the same as actual worth, since more often than not, the property would sell for a greater amount than its assessed value. Sales data are much more limited than assessment data. Every piece of property has an assessed worth, but sales may not be regular enough to provide an information base from which to draw conclusions. In addition, the sale of one or a dozen properties located next to a new landfill may say nothing about the facility’s impact on market values if there are no figures for the sale of comparable properties some distance away. But despite the scarcity of existing sales data, studies using market figures have been conducted. Pennsylvania State University’s Institute for Research on Land and Water Resources compiled one such survey in 1982, entitled Effects of Solid Waste Disposal Sites on Community Development and Residential Property. Effect on actual sales Penn State researchers attempted to isolate the effect that proximity to a disposal site has on actual sales. They first looked at the historical rate of property development that had occurred within a designated “impact zone” around each of nine landfills. Then they compared that to the rate of property development for four control areas, the centers of which were randomly selected at the edge of a circle lying three miles from each landfill. The researchers found less development growth near the larger landfills but no conclusive evidence that the landfill sites had any adverse impact on the rate of property development in surrounding areas. In the second part of the study, researchers tried to define the characteristics which determine a property’s sale price. Distance from a landfill was one of the factors examined. They found that property characteristics other than distance to the landfill appear much more important in explaining prices. Priority considerations of buyers generally relate to the structure, specifically the age, size and construction of the house, rather than miles to a landfill, and it is those priority considerations that have a greater bearing on market value. Even in cases where distance to a disposal site would weigh heavily in the equation, they concluded that the real estate market probably had sufficient depth to preclude depreciations of property. Markets vary widely However, the Penn State study noted that real estate markets vary from one region to another and even from one year to the next in the same region. In addition, the researchers pointed out that landfills themselves have variable characteristics, including age, size and visibility. Market differences and landfill variations make it difficult to extrapolate findings from one study to predict what will happen to land values somewhere else when a solid waste disposal facility is established, the researchers noted.

Mt. Trashmore (Continued from Page 1) A study in feasibility y As a demonstration project, Mount Trashmore was awarded a matching grant of $192,674 by the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Its specific objectives were: 1. To determine the feasibility of building a hill from municipal refuse in order to create a useful structure of solid waste. 2. To determine the possibility, through construction of an aboveground sanitary landfill, of more than doubling the capabilities of disposal sites. 3. To study thoroughly and report upon unit costs, techniques, environmental needs and problems involved in a project of this nature. Geological studies done prior to building Mount Trashmore showed that the subsoils could withstand the weight of the structure. Borings found dense clays with extremely low transmissibility coefficients, allowing the minimum distance between the fill and the water table to be set at four feet. In 1967, five wells were drilled, primarily to provide water for chemical analysis. Two were located outside the project limits and three on the project site. The Public Utilities Department still uses those wells to draw water samples for analysis on a monthly basis. They show that the project has had little or no effect on groundwater in the area. Difficulties surmounted, cheaply That isn’t to say that Mount Trashmore has been problem free, but the difficulties arose - and were for the most part resolved - during the actual construction of the mountain. Odors were prevalent during the clean-up of the old trench landfill and whenever bad weather interfered with scheduled deposits of trash in new assigned cells. (The cells are comprised of 18inch square units of trash with a sixinch layer of clean soil. The refuse was spread out, covered with dirt and rolled over by a compactor, compressing the soil and garbage into dense layers of 100 pounds per cubic foot for the mountain. For each layer, the process was repeated.) A conveyor belt was installed to move wastti from central bins to the working site during extended rainy periods, and with this improvement plus the availability of clean soil cover for the exposed trash, odors were eliminated. Flies, which arrived in the refuse itself, were a problem only when the soil cover could not be applied daily, allowing them to mature and linger. Installation of the conveyor belt Weewise eliminated the fly problem. The solution to dive bombing gulls wasn’t as simple. Gulls descended by the thousands, diving on workers and trash with equal vigor. Firecrackers set off at periodic intervals proved to be the only effective deterrent. Even this didn’t always work to frighten the birds, but no better solution was devised for this particular problem. The decomposition of refuse creates gas, particularly methane gas. At Mount Trashmore, this was monitored by the Engineering Technology Department of Old Dominion University. A single gas fire occurred in August 1972, and was eventually extinguished by the Virginia Beach Fire Department. According to a report filed by engineers after the fire, “there is no indication of explosive or significantly odoriferous problem as a result of the project, and temperature measurements have to date supported other indications that no assessible detrimental effects on the biosphere can be attributed to the project.” Seven ground level vents at the fill now allow for seepage of decomposition gases. According to Mr. Dorer, this decomposition process poses no danger “as the gases are now finding their own natural route to the surface.” According to the parks department’s report, incoming trucks were weighed on the site and then weighed again after emptying their loads to give the city an accurate total on the amount of trash that went into Mount Trashmore. The department’s figures set the tonnage at 640,000 and the per ton disposal cost at $1.98, significantly less than the $7 to $13 per ton the city estimated it would have to pay for burning that same trash. What about land values? Mount Trashmore is within several hundred yards of a major highway in an intensively developed section of one of Virginia’s fastest growing metropolitan areas. What has it done to land values? The park’s 160 acres, previously valued at $600 per acre, soared to $25,000 per acre by 1977 (the date of the report, Mount Trashmore Park: Alternative Solid Waste Disposal). At that same time, the single family residences on the small lots surrounding the park were selling for $40,000 to $86,000. “The Mount Trashmore project has not had a detrimental effect on either land value or residential growth in the immediate surrounding area,” the report notes. But maybe the most compelling proof of success lies not in an uncontaminated water table, steadily increasing land values or use of the recreational facilities at Mount Trashmore. Maybe the most compelling proof is in imitation. In 1971, upon completion of Mount Trashmore Park, the City of Virginia Beach began construction of Landfill II. Its 373 acres will include a base hill of 96 acres rising to a height of 150 feet. It will have two lakes, the first covering eight acres and the second 70 acres. An attempt will be made to recover methane gas from the decomposing trash during the gas generation period, estimated at 15 years. In addition, this second landfill will accept ash and residue from a resource recovery system designed by the Southeastern Public Service Authority to serve the entire Tidewater area. The city’s contract with that Authority wiU expire in the year 2015 and it is anticipated that the landfill will then be converted into a park. Mount Trashmore, once just a smelly joke, and its sucessor Landfill II show what can be accomplished when a community is willing to try new solutions to old problems. ‘The Sound of Music’ at Loft “The Sound of Music” opens Friday, May 15, at The Loft, 9 N.

Estimating that nearby counties which would logically be part of any regional approach produce about 1,000 tons of trash per day, Col. Bingham guessed that a plant capable of turning that garbage into energy would cost between $45 and $50 million. And he acknowledged property for a landfill would still be needed since a regeneration system would, at best, consume 90 percent of the waste stream, leaving 10 percent to be landfilled. “We’re not trying to argue with trying to beat you down,” Chairman Gilkey assured the Amissville delegation. “But we’ve followed*these avenues, as well as a lot of others, and they’ve always led to a dead end.” “I know what you all have tried,” Col. Bingham replied. “I know what you have done... I know how many acres you live on. I know a lot about you,” he told the supervisors, adding, “ Mr. Lane isn’t even smiling at that one.” No longer available Addressing Col. Bingham’s specific suggestions, zoning administrator John McCarthy reported that the AWOW Partnership is no longer interested in selling a portion of its 400 acres for a sanitary landfill. “That offer has been withdrawn.” Taking up another specific, Supervisor Lane contended that applying for a landfill with sufficient capacity for just three to five years would be “the dumbest thing we could do.” The Stonewall-Hawthome District representative, who has served on two of the board’s landfill committees, noted that there is no economy of scale in putting in a small landfill. “The development is costly,” even for a small site, Mr. Lane said. And in a demonstration that the board has examined alternative technologies for solid waste disposal, he supplied long, technical sounding names and information on system capacities and potential environmental problems for the options outlined by Col. Bingham. Trying another tactic, the leader of the Amissville delegation said the insistence of the Stover tract’s owners on a contingency sales contract before allowing the county to conduct farther testing is “the oldest real estate ploy in the books.” Has the board already signed such a contract? he asked. Nothing has been signed and no purchase price has even been offered, Mr. McCarthy answered. Supervisor Newbill Miller stressed that the board is being straighforward on the landfill issue. “You’re talking about the number of acres we live on, saying this is the oldest real estate ploy in the books and asking if we’ve signed a contract when we’ve said publicly that we haven’t... What we tell you is the way it is!” he assured the representatives from Amissville. As to using the existing landfill NUGGETS OF TRUTH Family Worship Cantor Washington, Va. GOD WANTS US WELL At Family Worship Center; we have been holding a six week Bible course on divine healing. Each week we have been looking into God's word to see what it has to say about the subject. People who are in need of physical healing have been attending these classes. The Bible says in Romans 10:17, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. When a person hears what God's word has to say about healing his or! her faith begins to grow, faith moves God. When we believe what God says about us and then act like its true, then we are putting our faith to work. Remember the woman with the issue of blood in Mark chap. 5; she heard of Jesus and all the miracles he performed, her faith began to grow and she said, i “if I can but touch his clothes, I shall be whole." Her faith in Jesus caused her to draw healing power from him, her faith made her well, when she touched his garment she was instantly healed. God is still the same today as he was then (Hebrews 13:6) your faith can draw God’s heaing power into your body also. Every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17). Healing is a good gift and it can come to you if you will have faith in God and believe what the Bible says is true. Please let us know if we can help you. past the July 1 expiration date of its state permit, Mr. McCarthy pointed out that the dump on Clifton Clark’s property near Woodville is privately owned and operated. Therefore, the county cannot apply for the necessary permit extension “and the owner is not interested in an extension,” he said, noting that new state regulations effective July 1 require a cash bond of $10,000 for every acre in a private landfill plus an approved closure plan and money “up front” to implement that plan. The Stover tract has not yet been judged suitable for solid waste disposal, the zoning administrator pointed out. That determination will not be made without exhaustive geological and hydrological testing and state apporval of design and operational plans, he added. Keeping that in mind, Mr. McCarthy recommended only that the board sign a contingency contract on the Stover tract. “I wouldn’t recommend it for a landfill until the state gives its approval.” “If soils on the Lee farm (on Fodderstack Road) had tested as well as the Stover tract, then the landfill would be there right now, lVi miles from the Town of Washington,” Mr. Miller told the Amissville people. “And I would be the sole dissenter because it’s in my district.” Mr. Lane noted that his family owns land adjacent to the Clark landfill and when an extension was sought for that site, as representative of Lane Industries, he wrote a letter stating the family had no objections to its continued use for solid waste disposal. “We’re not opposed to the landfill being in Jackson District,” countered Col. Bingham. “But if we could, we’d like to get it changed to another location . . . Perhaps if we had time, we could find something that’s suitable.” “We haven’t stopped trying to find a site,” said Chairman Gilkey, “but none has turned up.” So the board has no alternative but to continue testing the Stover tract, he added. “Have you eliminated (as unsuitable) all 14 sites (reviewed by the site selection committee)?” asked Lorraine Early. “All but this one,” Mr. Gilkey replied. “Will there be more public hearings?” she asked. “At least three more ... on any site we consider,” the zoning administrator said.' 1 Col. Bingham again called for a short-term solution to the county’s trash problem “to get the monkey off your back” while a regional approach to waste disposal is pursued. “It’s not a monkey on our back - it’s state law,” corrected Mr. Lane. He added that all localities within feasible hauling distance have been asked for a contract to accept Rappahannock’s trash at their landfill, with no success. In addition, he noted, efforts to work out an agreement with Harrisonburg’s resource recovery facility failed. Mr. Miller said that the county’s best option for an alternative to a landfill here lies with the progress of plans for a regeneration facility at Riverton in neighboring Warren Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088-Office I West of Sperryville • Partially re. stored 5 room frame home on 5.4 acres. $33£00.

"But indications are that it’s several years away, if it happens at all,” Mr. McCarthy added. “We’re interested in pursuing a regional facility," he continued. “I don’t think it’s the answer to the problem we face today but I think it’s an answer for the longterm.” “Well, what’s next?” Col. Bingham inquired. “What you’ve said hasn’t fallen on deaf ears. We’ll try to work on a regional facility,” Chairman Gilkey promised. “But that doesn’t change anything,” he said, adding that the board will continue its evaluation of the Stover tract. “But what if that doesn’t test out?” asked Bobby Carter. “Then we’ll look for another site,” Mr. Gilkey answered. ‘Why don’t you do that now?” ‘We are, but we’re not having much luck,” the board’s chairman said. “Well, you’ve got 1,200 people to help you now,” Col. Bingham volun teered, in apparent reference to the residents of Jackson District. “It would have been more helpful if you’d started looking in November," Mr. McCarthy interjected. “You didn’t get us fired up in No- K vember," the colonel countered. “That’s what’s sad,” concluded Mr. Gilkey. “Nobody gets fired up until it’s on their doorstep. ” “We’ll get busy. We’ll try to find something else,” Col. Bingham told the board, asking what would happen if a better site is located after the contingency contract is signed and testing shows the Stover property is adequate for a landfill. “If you find a better location, we can turn around and resell the Stover tract,” Mr. Miller said. After the departure of the AmissviUe delegation, the board went into executive session to discuss the possible purchase price and conditions of sale for the 100-acre Stover tract. Mr. McCarthy reported later that no action was taken. Budget (Continued from Page 1) and law enforcement (30 percent increase for the sheriffs office). Although revenue sharing is gone, federal revenue elsewhere in the draft budget shows an upsurge of 19 percent to $107,505. Outside of proposed school spending, the biggest jump in expenditures in the draft budget comes in public works, with a line item of $300,000 for landfill site improvements (up $210,000 from the current year) and $100,000 for contracted collection service (up $36,000). In a work sheet attached to the draft budget, Mr. Cox breaks down the increase in the tax levy: • Reassessment costs: $25,000 and one cent on the rate. • Local cost of the Sheriffs Department and jail: $25,786 and one centon the rate. • Refuse collection: $36,600 and one cent on the rate. • County landfill: $210,000 and nine cents on the rate. • Revenue sharing decrease: $21,000 and one cent on the rate. • General fund transfer to schools: $339,249 and 15 cents on the rate. That adds up to a total increase of 28 cents on the real estate levy. Then for decreases in that figure, Mr. Cox lists: • Personal property tax increase: $47,000 and two cents off the rate. • Local sales tax increase: $30,000 and one cent off the rate. • Increase draw on general fund surplus: $314,000 and 14 cents off the rate. That puts the proposed real estate levy at the 69 cents per $100 cited in the accountant’s budget message. The $5,988,294 bottom line of the draft budget represents a 17 percent increase over the same line in the current budget. CMH to prep for parenting A series of six free classes for expectant parents will begin May 6 and run through June 10 at the Culpeper Memorial Hospital.
