Amissville residents plan opposition By LOU HATTER WMjihnmotfc N«wi Staff Writer About 80 Amissville residents attended a meeting at the Amissville Fire Hall last Thursday night to formulate a plan in opposition to the county’s proposal to locate its new landfill on a 100-acre tract off Rt. 639 east of the village. Led by Lorraine and John Early, Col. Ellis Bingham and Bobby Carter, representing the Citizens for Jackson District committee, the group discussed at length the effects they felt the landfill will have. Mrs. Early read a prepared statement, recounting the events to date, before opening the meeting to comments from the floor. “The supervisors have said we must be out of the present site by July 1, which is true according to the present owner. The state would extend the permit if asked . .. there are three to five more usable acres ... if that were done, it would give us more time to find a better site.” Col. Bingham, she continued, gave the supervisors an opportunity, in a meeting held on April 23, to pursue the idea of a regional waste disposal facility; but the board said they are not interested in a regional site at this time. “If we find a site they will test it,” she added. Letters and photographs of the Stover tract have been sent to a number of state and federal officials, she said, including Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr., State Senator Kevin Miller, Delegate Andy Guest, U. S. Senator John Warner, and Harry Gregori of the Division of Solid Waste Managment in Richmond. Mrs. Early said Mr. Gregori has told the supervisors that the county’s application will be processed as quickly as possible, but that no shortcuts will be taken. The state, she told the group, is totally in charge of the acceptance of the landfill application. She informed the group that Col. Bingham had met with Leonard Miller, a Washington, D. C. lawyer specializing in environmental cases, and that he is interested in handling the case for the citizens’ opposition. Mr. Miller is with the firm of Swindler and Berlin. Mr. Miller told Col. Bingham that a good fight is possible, she said, especially at this time because an environmental impact statement has not yet been filed with the state. To fight the application, she added, is less costly than to fight the landfill. She said that it may also be possible to force the county to agree to stipulations about the landfill, if it is located on the Stover tract. These stipulations, she said, might include copies of all technical data to be independently verified, testing of groundwater in the area, restriction of tha type of waste to be deposited (including sludge), and possibly shortening the planned 25 to 60 year lifespan of the landfill. “Mr. Miller will come and'walk the site,” Mrs. Early continued, “but we need to know about support — we need to know about dollars.” She added that Frances Semones has pledges amounting to about $2,000, and that REPRESENTATIVES OF THE Citizens for Jackson District, from left, Lorraine Early, John Early, Bobby Carter and Col. Ellis Bingham listen as Jackson District Supervisor A1 Henry explains the county’s position during the public meeting last Thursday. she and her husband would pledge an additional $1,000. “We want to see $50,000 in the bank. Small donations make big money . . . give what you can.” She explained that the money would be placed in an account, each person would be given a receipt, and that two members of the community would be selected, bonded, and given authority to pay out from the account. Any money left over would be returned, prorated, to the donors. Col. Bingham added that distance is not the issue. "The county is separated by districts: that’s not healthy, not good. If we are to survive as a district, unless everyone stands together, we stand to lose . .. there may be other issues which come up; rezoning, things we may want to dovWe can’t expect our neighbors to stand belundtie if We don’t stand up now.1*1’ ; He said that even the experts don’t know what to expect from the landfill. You can get two or three opinions from the EPA, he added. There is an organization in Warrenton which belongs to the EPA, and which flies this area regularly, using infra-red, he said. “If you want to get scared, talk to them.” The effort, he continued, should involve everyone or it should not be done. We've got one of the best lawyers. “I think he will produce... he’s a real fireball.” In response to questions from the audience, Mrs. Early said that she had not asked about Mr. Miller’s fees, but she guessed it would be about $180 per hour, plus $110 per hour for his assistant. For him to come out, walk the property and attend a meeting would, she estimated, involve about 10 hours work, or about $2,000. The money raised, she added, might not be » touched. “It is a show that we are serious - that we will goto court.” - Several members of the audience suggested an al(Continued on Page 18) Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter A1 Henry, with his trusted advisor, Humphrey. Henry declines run in Jackson By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In a surprise announcement made at last Thursday’s citizens’ meeting Jackson District Supervisor A1 Henry said that he will not be a candidate for election this fall. Citing a need to devote more time to his family and his real estate business, Mr. Henry said in an interview Monday with the Rappahannock News that he had planned to delay the announcement another week. But, “as the field gets crowded, this will give people more time to think about it, get petitions up in time (to meet the June 9 deadline). ” Mr. Henry was appointed in January to fill the unexpired portion of J. Richard Latham, Jackson’s supervisor, who died suddenly last December. About two months ago, Mr. Henry had indicated that he did plan to run for re-election. “I was planning on representing Jackson District, planning on running this fall. “What it comes down to, what really bothers me, is that this is a community service job. It pays about $1.30 a day . . . anybody who takes it has to be out to serve the public - the other four members of the board are four dedicated men who have the best interests of Rappahannock County at heart. “You couldn’t find any better people - they put the interests of citizens above all else. “I’ve watched people take shots at the board members, and it bothers me to hear people say ’they’re a bunch of crooks, they’re going to do whatever they want, they don’t listen to anyone else’ ... if there are other people out there who think they can do a better job, let them try.” He said that the biggest three items to face Rappahannock County in a long time: the landfill, school expansion and the reassessment, “will be well in hand by the year’s end. These problems, especially the landfill, are going to be solved in a manner beneficial to the county over the (Continued on Page 18) J Estabrook proposes two teacher cutback By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In the first reaction to the $213,234 cut from the proposed 1987-88 school budget, Superintendent Robert Estabrook has asked the School Board to ignore the request of the Board of Supervisors, and instead of eliminating the 984 pupil system’s seventh administrator, drop two teaching positions at the elementary school. He also proposed that administrative pay increases be upped from the five percent suggested by the supervisors to eight percent, with the assistant superintendent’s to be raised 10 percent u> out some distance between that salary and the high school principal’s. To stay within the categorical funding restraints imposed by the Board of Supervisors, Mr. Estabrook moved a portion of the assistant superintendent’s salary from the administrative category to instructional, putting $8,238 in the line item for compensation of supervisors. He also moved an aide’s position from the instructional category to the category for other educational programs, noting that the salary will be paid with federal Chapter I funds instead of local money. Mr. Estabrook told the School Board members that according to a letter received the previous day, Rappahannock will receive at least $80,000 and maybe $90,000 for Chapter I next year rather than the $62,000 on which the budget was based. However, in apparent anticipation of just this eventuality, the superintendent had put the projec tion for Chapter I at $80,742 in the proposed 1987-88 budget which was approved two weeks ago, so no further action from the supervisors is necessary for the School Board to spend the larger amount. (All money, whether from federal, state or local sources, must first be appropriated by the Board of Supervisors before it can be spent by the School Board.) In other deviations from the Board of Supervisors’ requests, the superintendent proposed a 14 percent pay hike for the central office bookkeeper and seven percentraises for all other classified personnel. Two by attrition Noting that five teachers at Rappahannock County Elementary School have said they will not return for the 1987-88 school year, Mr. Estabrook proposed that only three of those positions be filled and the other two eliminated. According to the superintendent, projected enrollment at RCES for next year is 567. (Enrollment stood at 555 at the end of April. And the kindergarten projection of 75 for the coming year is based on registration received in March; a second registration period is set for early this summer.) The reduction in force would give RCES 26 regular classroom teaching positions and an average of 21.4 students per class in kindergarten through seventh grade, the actual numbers ranging from a low of 17 to a high of 25.1 coming in next year’s (Continued on Page 13) Contract signed for Stover site By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nawa Staff Writer In Amiss ville last Thursday, opponents marshalled forces to fight the county’s proposal for a landfill on the Stover tract. And at the same time, in the Washington courthouse 15 miles down the road, the chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors signed a contract to buy the 100 acres for $185,000, contingent upon the state’s issuance of a permit for solid waste disposal on the site. Following a 15-minute executive session with Commonwealth’s Attorney Pete Luke, the supervisors voted 3-0 to approve the purchase contract. Jackson District representative A1 Henry abstained, as did Newbill Miller from Hampton District. Mr. Henry said his association with Mount Vernon Realty as a licensed real estate agent left him with a conflict of interest, since the firm is a party to the transaction. But he asked that the record show his opposition on the grounds of (1) the site’s proximity to a population center and (2) the contract price being substantially in excess of the Stover tract’s appraised value. Mr. Miller did not give a reason for his abstention. Then in a second vote, the board authorized consultant Leonard Joyce to proceed with the final studies required by the State Department of Waste Management. If these detailed geo-technical examinations continue to show that the Stover tract is suitable for a sanitary landfill, the department will recommend that the county proceed to the preliminary design phase of the pro jeci, jnr. Joyce said. Spreading maps, charts and reports over the length of the table, the engineer explained what the studies will include. Four monitoring wells will be drilled to an estimated depth of 50 feet into the rock’s water-bearing strata so that background water quality data collection can begin. The solid core removed from each well will be brought up, examined and logged. In addition, soil samples will be taken from 10 bore holes dug to an estimated 30foot depth. “We’ll auger to refusal,” Mr. Joyce said. Samples will be taken also for comprehensive water quality tests. More than 30 parameters will be measured in the analysis of water from each well and of surface water collected at specified points. “We can have our work completed and ready to submit to Richmond in 30 to 45 days. Then their turn-around time (at the Department of Waste Management) typically runs another 30 to 45 days,” Mr. Joyce said. He estimated the cost of the drilling and testing at $23,000 to $25,000. “This is your insurance (against environmental degradation arising from landfill operations). This is the only insurance you can buy,” he told the supervisors. His firm will produce a “turnkey” report ready to go to the Department of Waste Management for review, Mr. Joyce said. If the state’s experts determine that these detailed tests continue to show the Stover tract suitable for solid waste disposal, the department will re(Continued on Page 13) search on While the Kappahannock supervisors pursue a permit for a sanitary landfill on the Stover tract near Amissville, they continue to look at other alternatives. At the close of Monday’s budget work session, Supervisor A1 Henry reported that 76 acres near Castleton have just gone on the market with an asking price of $129,500. By consensus, the board directed that the information on the property be forwarded to Mike Massie, chair man of the landfill site selection committee, with a request for an evaluation. The supervisors specifically asked that committee member Vincent Day, who is a geologist, accompany Mr. Massie on the inspection. Then, also by consensus, the board authorized assistant John McCarthy to solicit bids as soon as possible for surveying of the 100 acre Stover tract.

News of Record General District court William T. Wayland, of Rt. 1 Sperryville, was found guilty Tuesday in General District Court oi brandishing a firearm and assault as a result of an incident which occurred on March 10. The charges were brought by Nathaniel Dodson, who alleged that Mr. Wayland threatened him and fired a gun over his head during an argument concerning the surveying of a right-of-way through Mr. Wayland’s property. Mr. Dodson testified that Mr. Wayland arrived where he was standing, with two surveyors from James Butler Surveyors of Warrenton, in the entrance to the driveway, about one-half mile west of the Rediviva bridge on Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. “He came down,” Mr. Dodson said, “and we got to arguing. He went to his truck, got a gun and shot over our heads. He told me to ‘get the hell out of the road.’ That’s when I went to the Sheriffs Department.” On cross-examination by Roger Inger, Mr. Wayland’s attorney, Mr. Dodson said that he did not have permission from Mr. Wayland, or from Robert Fox, to do the surveying. Mr. Fox, who is Mr. Wayland’s brother-in-law, also owns land through which the right-of-way passes. “I didn’t think you had to have written permission to survey,” Mr. Dodson said. The two surveyors, Edward Kinard and John Miller, corroborated Mr. Dodson’s testimony. Mr. Miller said that he assumed Mr. Butler had checked the deeds before he sent the crew out to do the surveying job. Since crews had been run off twice before, he said “I reckon Mr. Butler checked, they sent us back up.” Mr. Fox testified in Mr. Wayland’s defense that he had not given permission for surveying to be done on his property. He said that he told the surveyors to leave earlier that morning, but they refused, telling him they were working for Mr. Dodson and would leave when they were finished. Mr. Dodson, he said, told him to leave the surveyors alone. “That’s when I left to go and get the Sheriffs Department to resolve the dispute.” Judge Charles Foley asked Mr. Fox who maintains the right-of-way, which ip used by about 10 families, according to his testimony. “It is my responsibility,” and Mr. Wayland’s, Mr. Fox replied. Susan Eaton, also testifying in Mr. Wayland’s defense, said she was with Mr. Wayland in the truck. She said the pistol which he fired was a gas gun, which does not shoot a projectile. She said Mr. Wayland uses it to scare off birds which nest in his farm buildings. "Billy was trying to get to his sister,” she said. “She has had heart attacks, and the doctors says she shouldn’t be under any stress.” She testified that Mr. Dodson said “I don’t give a —damn about your sister,” and refused to move his truck, which was blocking the road. After Mr. Wayland asked Mr. Dodson to move the truck several times and he refused, he pulled out the gun and fired it into the air, Ms. Eaton said. Then Mr. Dodson left, she added. Cross examined by Greg Ashwell, who represented the Commonwealth in the case, Ms. Eaton said she stayed in the truck because she was “scared too - heart attacks are not funny.” She said, in response to a question, that she has a “business and friendship” relationship with Mr. Wayland. Mr. Wayland testified in his own defense that Mr. Dodson refused to move his truck, that he told him the road was going to be widened to two lanes, that one of his fences would be tom down, and that he would drive steel pegs into Mr. Wayland’s field if he wanted to. ina you tnreaien nunr Mr. ingerasked. “The only threat I made was I told him I would smack him,” Mr. Wayland replied. He added that he only fired the gun to get Mr. Dodson to move his truck. He said that he was con* cemed for the health of his sister, whom his mother had told him was upset by the surveyors’ being near their house earlier that morning. “That’s where I was going.” Mr. Ashwell returned Mr. Dodson to the stand to rebut Mr. Wayland and Ms. Eaton’s testimony. “Was Ms. Eaton in the truck?” “No sir,” he replied. “There wasn’t nobody in the truck.” In summation, Mr. Ashwell accused Mr. Wayland of engaging in “Wild West justice.” It worked, he added. “Mr. Dodson left, he got out of Dodge.” The charge of brandishing, Mr. Ashwell pointed out, requires that the defendant point a firearm in a manner to reasonably induce fearin the victim. It does not matted ‘he said, whether the weapon is actually capable of inflicting harm. The assault charge is proven by the facts, he added. “The intent or ability to inflict bodily harm, and the MANAGED U.S. GOVERNMENT 11.83% Safety — Monthly Income or Automatic-Reinvestment Compou nd i ng— Low Investment Minimum Liquidity #AppraxiiMte yMd on fMMit Imum m of S/t/87.

Mr. Ashwell rebutted that the Commonwealth cannot allow citizens to use the threat of deadly force to resolve disputes. “There are civil remedies. This was not an emergency situation. He chose to brandish a firearm, to assault Mr. Dodson.” ; Judge Foley agreed with llr. Ashwell. “The court is concerned that Rappahannock County is becoming famous - or infamous - for its right-of-way disputes. No rightof-way is worth the threat of losing a life. It’s a property right versus a personal right. “Mr. Fox,” Judge Foley added, “did the correct thing... he went to get the Sheriff.” Mr. Wayland’s primary concern, he continued, was not his sister, but who was surveying the right-of-way. “It bothers the court,” the judge observed, “that the Commonwealth’s witnesses all testified that Mr. Wayland was alone in the truck. The court has to determine who are the more credible witnesses.” “The court,” Judge Foley said, “finds that under the facts, and by Mr. Wayland’s own testimony, he is guilty of both charges. This is a longstanding feud, and the court wants to end it today.” The judge fined Mr. Wayland $100 on each charge and sentenced him to two consecutive 60-day jail terms, suspended on condition of his SAVE $45°° Our Glasses Cost $45°° Less Than the National Average!* * (Source: April '87 Eye Care Business) THE EYEGLASS FACTORY 703-636-2020 531 B.

Rappahannock County’s municipal solid waste is currently deposited in a private sanitary landfill that will be closed July 1, 1987. Rappahannock County is currently pursuing acquisition and development of a public landfill facility but said facility will not be available to accept waste for some time. Consequently, Rappahannock County is seeking proposals/bids for the collection of approximately sixteen (16) tons of municipal solid waste from three (3) “green box” dumpster sites, and its removal for final disposal (said proposal to include provision and maintenance of “green box’ ’ or similar equipment). ** Question and proposals/bids should be directed towards John W.

Times are a changin’ at Gallery Coffee House Come gather round people where ever you roam... Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens .. . Come mothers and fathers throughout the land... The words from the old Peter, Paul and Mary anthem are an appropriate invitation to the Gallery Coffee House where “the times, they are a changin’.” The monthly happenings at the Middle Street Gallery Artists Cooperative in Washington, Virginia, are indeed a change - a change back to the gentler times of the late ’50s and early ’60s when beatdom was in flower. Those were the days, my friend. Earnest young people, the men bearded, the women with long straight hair and both in black turtlenecks and black berets, gathered in dim cafes and coffee houses. They recited poetry, argued philosophy and strummed guitars. They exchanged ideas and entertainment. They drank coffee instead of beer; they smoked cigarettes instead of pot. (Remember, those were the times before smoking became socially unacceptable, times when a cigarette dangled casually from a limp wrist, wreathing a furrowed forehead in rings of smoke, was considered the mark of sophistication.) Only the cigarettes are missing from the scene at the Gallery Coffee House. “Growing up in D.C., I went to the first Coffee and Confusion and the old Brickskeller,” said cofounder Dan Lewis. “That feeling, that atmosphere, was what we wanted to have: a casual place where folks could play homey music without competitive tension. Where you could make a mistake and it would be accepted as part of the show. Where the audience could participate, sing along if they knew the words, and it would be all right if they went off key or forgot a line. ” “Here in Rappahannock, we’ve got plenty of opportunity for visual artists,” added co-founder Bob Treanor. “Performing artists needed a showcase, too.” Most oi tne pousned performers and the non-professionals who have swallowed their inhibitions long enough to step to the fore are musicians. With their guitars, Messrs. Treanor and Lewis take the first set, their line of patter between songs an , .upbeat invitation to others. '' ,Ttfeiifpr dtfes the standards instwtly„'jppuliar. to every Baby . Boomer: -songs sung by Tom Rush, Randy Newman, Arlo Guthrie, Jesse Winchester, Donovan and the Beatles. Mr. Lewis mixes numbers from the same genre with his own compositions: a lilting story of blue collar workers and Jenny in her cotton flowered dress “headin’ for the southland on the Chicken Bone Express,” or a musical tribute to the county at the foothills of the Blue Ridge in “Oh Rappahannock, I still hear you calling, down where the Thornton and the Rush rivers flow.” In real life, Bob Treanor is a substance abuse counselor and Dan Lewis an artist and framer, but in their hearts, they’re singer, guitarist and song writer. And acting out their dreams, they give other timid souls the courage to do the same. It’s easy to leave performance jitters behind when Mr. Treanor breaks in the middle of a song to ask his wife, “Kathryn, what’s the second verse?” or when Mr. Lewis admits “Oops, got those lines backwards!” Others follow the leaders. A guitarist from Winchester strums and plucks a fusion of classical and contemporary music, his original compositions worthy of a far more prestigious stage. Then Mark Simms not only plays an original, a lively and lovely piece inspired by Rhodesian folk music, but he plays it ON an original. His instrument, the “tubes”, looks like a hammered dulcimer until the top comes off. Minus the top, it’s an arrangement of copper pipes that produce exotic tones reminiscent of xylophone and wind chimes. “I was studying at Shenandoah (College and Conservatory of Music) and I had to do this independent, self-directed research project,” Simms says, explaining how the tubes came into being. “I got credit for fooling around!” he jokes. Although music predominates, the spotlight at Gallery Coffee House isn’t reserved for musicians. Stand-up comic Marque Kolack mixes humor with bits of new age philosophy. Artist blacksmith Nol Putnam reads a haunting essay he wrote as a tribute to Katya, the Jersey cow with the gentle eyes whose death left the bam on his New England farm empty of breath. “The stage is open to everybody,” Lewis emphasized. “Singers, dancers, musicians, poets, comics, story tellers, puppeteers - anyone who wants to entertain.” Between sets, folks gather around the coffee pot and the table of fresh baked sweets and pastries in the gallery’s front room or take a cup of herb tea back to a candlelit table. “We didn’t want alcohol,” Lewis noted. “We wanted to keep the things sober, laid back and cool.” The off-stage conversation during the intermissions is as varied as the on-stage offerings. A light exchange of gossip at one table is counterpoint to a heavy exchange of political philosophies and save-the WU1 IU lUCOd ttL cAIlULIld . And the audience is just as eclectic. Computer analyst, Episcopal minister, attorney, aging specialist and school teacher rub shoulders with natural childbirth coach, herbal healer, basket weaver and totem artist. The mix works, on and off stage. There’s an easy feeling that grows even easier as the evening goes on. The “ease index” can be calibrated by the sing-along. At first, there’s only a lonely hum or two from a back corner. Then, a few whispered snatches of lyric. Finally, full blown accompaniment to what’s “Mowin' in the Wind" on stage. “We want a lack of tension in the performers AND the audience. We want everybody to be relaxed and we want anyone to feel comfortable about performing,” Mr. Lewis said.

RCHS gives ‘Voices’ an encore performance this weekend THp kids have learned a lot. In the eight weeks of rehearsals which have preceded this weekend’s performances of “Voices of Rappahannock,” they have certainly learned more about acting. In doing Cathy Kiley’s play, which is based on scores of interviews with lifelong residents of Rappahannock whose parents and grandparents were lifelong residents before them, the young people have learned of the county’s past. In mastering improvisational techniques, they’ve learned to relax on stage. And by helping to revise a play to suit thespians in grades six through twelve, by taking that reworked vehicle from inception to curtain rise, they’ve learned to have confidence in themselves. “They’re so talented and so fresh. It's been really wonderful!” said Ms. Kiley. She originally wrote “Voices of Rappahannock” under the auspices of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community with a grant from the Virginia Endowment for the Arts. First presented in 11 A. Cabinets • Countertops Sinks • Faucets • Etc. OUR CABINETS INC. \ 122 W. Culpeper St. \ Culpeper, Va. 22701 703-825-3381 1983, the play was part of the county’s sesquicentennial celebration. She sat in the parlors of the county’s grand homes and she sat on the front stoops of modest cabins tucked back in the hollows, listening to oldtimers tell of the past. Using these oral history interviews for the bones of the play, Ms. Kiley worked with the first cast of “Voices,” teaching them improvisation, helping them develop their characters and then working in the results to put flesh on the bones. “ ‘Voices’ takes place in the misty area of the past called memory,” Ms. Kiley explained. “It’s how people feel about the past rather than a portrayal of history as proven fact. These are stories that have been passed from one person to another and one generation to the next, sifted through many hearts on the way.” Going through rehearsals and revisions with the RCHS youngsters, who are presenting “Voices” as their Bedding Plante and Hanging Baskets iw, Now available at Payne’s Fruit Market & Garage Rt. 211, Washington Stop by and choose a beautiful hanging basket from our large assortment.

ASTA American Sooery o* Travel Agents Battlefield Travel 401-B Madison Road Culpeper, VA 22701 (703) 825-1393 spring production, Ms. Kiley cut a scene here and added a scene there. “The basic structure is the same, but we’ve changed parts of the script to make it a better play for children,” she explained, adding that the kids themselves came up with many of those changes. Those who have collected and treasured Rappahannock stories will find them in “Voices.” Doris Jennings, now in her 90s, joins the youngsters on stage to open and close the production. As her rocking chair plays a creaky accompaniment, she talks of slavery, repeating what she was told by her parents and grandparents. There’s a rollicking country dance; a gathering at the country store; the daily get-together for gossip that hasn’t changed much in generations and still goes on today at the county’s crossroads; a comedy sequence with a moonshiner; mountain children coming down to school in Sperryville; mountain families leaving their burning homes behind in the mass eviction that cleared the way for Shenandoah National Park. They are touching scenes that bring a laugh, a tear, a rueful shake of the head, but the play’s most powerful and emotionally moving moment comes with the Woodville tornado. Lightning crashes and thunder cracks as the storm hits, destroying homes, churches and schools, and leaving children dead in its wake. “Red Oak children, screaming, crying run,” Bill Abernathy sings. His song ‘Tornado” and the rest of the sound track for “V oices” is unchanged from the 1983 premiere. The music, a delightful mix of originals and classics, is by itself worth seeing the show for. In addition to “Tornado,” Mr. Abernathy wrote “I’ve got a mountain out my window” in collaboration with Ron Wilson, and Vincent Day gave “Smoke,” both performed live for this weekend’s performances. In addition, blues great John Jackson, Rappahannock’s favorite musical son, is there on tape along with the late, great Sperryville Jazz Band on a rare 60-year-old recording. Ms. Kiley has donated her time and talents for this RCHS spring production, as have light designer Mitch Hostetter, musician Bill Abernathy and assistant director Marque Kolack. “The kids have worked real hard on this. Wait a minute! I have, too - we all have!” she added, laughing. “But it’s been great. It’s been wonderful. I’ve really eryoyed it. I’d definitely like to keep working with kids,” said the veteran playwright and director who produced an historical drama for Clarke County’s sesquicentennial the year after Rappahannock’s. “Maybe we can get an artist in residence program,” she added, pledging to pursue grant possibilities for future dramatic offerings at the high school. “Kids need theatre in their lives.” “Voices of Rappahannock” will be presented Friday and Saturday night at the Rappahannock High School Auditorium at 8 p.m. Admission is $2.50 and all proceeds will go to the RCHS drama program. p American Heart Association WERE FIGHTING FOR VOURLIFE r The Citizen’s Committee for the Courthouse Renovation Project has very successfully reached its goal.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. —-/ THURSDAY, MAY 14.1987 Editorial A right and a duty The right to speak out on public issues carries with it a responsibility: to speak truthfully and accurately. This responsibility is not spelled out in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. It is not a part of the Virginia State Code. You will not find it spelled out in the county’s ordinances. But that doesn’t lessen its importance. Misrepresentation can cause unwarranted animosity and distrust. It can cause unnecessary expenditures of time, energy and money. So we urge caution - and we offer corrections: • On Thursday, April 23, there was no executive session, no closed meeting at the Courthouse between the supervisors and the Amissville delegation. The meeting was open to the public, to anyone who wished to attend. • There was no forced evacuation at Three Mile Island, no relocation of communities. Up to this time there has been no indication of an increase in cancer deaths due to radiation exposure. • There was no outright rejection by the supervisors of Col. Bingham’s proposal for a regional solid waste recycling facility. In the face of Rappahannock’s landfill crisis, there is no time to immediately implement the idea. A study by Planning District 9 indicates that the major obstacles are the astronomical cost of the project and the lack of interest shown by several jurisdictions within the planning district. Residents near the proposed landfill, and throughout Rappahannock County, have an obligation to question the impact of a sanitary landfill on roads, water quality, land values and aesthetic beauty. I • But, there are enough valid concerns to be addressed without passions being aroused unnecessarily by misleading or unfounded allegations. Rappahannock Heritage TWO OF THE COUNTY’S four-legged residents enjoy a warm spring day. v Rappahannock NewiphofcVCindy Mahaa State voters favor 65 mph limit By MICHAELCODY Arundel Newapupen Staff Writer Fifty-six percent of Virginia voters want the speed limit on rural interstates raised to 65 mph, according to a recent statewide poll. Strongest support for the change came from the state’s rural areas. In the Shenandoah region, 60 percent of the respondents favored raising the speed limit. Only 50 percent of those polled in Northern Virginia favored a change. Mason-Dixon Opinion Research Inc. of Columbia, Md., conducted the telephone poll from April 25-30. It has a 3.5 percent margin of error. At least one voter from each county in the Commonwealth was interviewed. The sample also reflected an accurate proportion of men and women (50 percent each) and of whites and blacks (81 percent and 18 percent, respectively). Regarding the possibility of the U.S. Congress’ granting statehood to the District of Columbia, whites are strongly opposed and blacks are supportive. Only 27 percent of white voters would support statehood for the District, versus 55 percent of blacks, according to the poll. The poll of 831 registered Virginia voters indicates: • Virginians generally oppose granting statehood to the District of Columbia. • 53 percent of Virginians favor contraceptive advertising on local television stations. • 77 percent of Virginians support AIDS education in public schools. • Virginians are generally satisfied with the quality of life in their communities, although blacks seem much less satisfied than whites. • 55 percent of Northern Virginians believe their part of the state is growing “much too fast,” but approximately half of the residents of the Central Piedmont and Shenandoah regions think the pace of growth is “about right.” • 46 percent of Northern Virginians gave a “poor” rating to the roads in their part of the state. Most Virginians are unconcerned about contracting AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome,) a condition associated primarily with intravenous drug users and homosexuals but recently spreading into the heterosexual population. But many Virginians believe an AIDS epidemic is at hand, according to the poll. While 63 percent of Virginians said they aren’t worried about contracting the condition, 75 percent said it is “likely” that there will be an AIDS epidemic. Statewide, four percent of those polled said they are “very worried” about contracting AIDS, while 85 percent favored an AIDS blood test for those applying for a marriage license. Regional attitudes varied most regarding questions about the pace of development and the quality of roads. In the Central Piedmont and the Shenandoah region, about 40 percent of the rspondents rated as “good” the management of the pace of development by local government, while another 18 percent gave local government an “excellent.” Similarly, about 50 percent of Central Piedmont and Shenandoah region residents said the pace of growth in their communities was “about right,” while 75 percent of Northern Virginia residents agreed the pace of growth was “much too fast,” or “a little bit too fast.” Meanwhile, most Shenandoah region and Central Piedmont residents describe their roads as “good” or “fair,” according to the poll. 1987 merkle report By EUGENE MCCARTHY Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer After observing six merkle seasons carefully and scientifically, and studying the character and habits of merkle hunters, I have concluded that no two merkle seasons are alike, and tljat no two merkle hunters or gatherers are 'the same, and even that the same person as a merkle hunter changes from season to season. Having had little success in my search for merkles last year, I was somewhat indifferent to the approach of this year’s season. One Saturday early in April (ahead of time, I thought) I saw the usual sign of merkle hunter activity, a pick-up truck parked marginally off Route 618, near a mountain ridge reputed to bear merkles. The width of Route 618 is such that one can park only marginally. That was a Saturday; I saw no hunter leaving the hill that day, but on Sunday in a casual walk, I met three searchers returning to their car. They were carrying paper bags, carefully, a sign that they had some success. I told them, truthfully, that I had a visitor who had never seen merkles, and wondered if they could spare a sample or two. I was given one merkle. This limited generosity was comparable to what had been shown me in previous seasons. I was ready to conclude that all was as it had been in other years. I was wrong... On the next weekend, ^on Saturday, in my absence, someone left me not one merkle, but a quart or more, in a sack at my doorway with no identification. This seemed strange behavior. More was to follow. On Easter Sunday, I received a call from Tom Massie, who two years ago, following Easter morning sunrise services on Red Oak Mountain, a time for truth, had told me that he was a successful merkle hunter and that he would take me with him the next year. The next year with its season for seeking merkles (for I had never gathered any) came and went, with no call from Tom. My confidence and trust in Tom had begun to fade but on this Easter day it was restored. He did take me with him into the mountains. The merkles were there in great abundance, as one measures abundance of merkles. I had previously found under instruction a few merkles in old apple orchards, but never before made a true wood’s find. I returned to my house, with merkles enough to give to a neighbor, who in earlier years had accompanied me on unsuccessful forays into our woods. Even more was to come. On the next weekend, I received a call from a person in Peola Mills, who remembering my sad story of previous years, recalling my despair of ever finding merkles, to tell me that I was welcome to come pick merkles (“not all,” she said) that were growing under a wild crab apple tree, the location of which she offered to give me. I thanked her, and asked to be remembered another year, and reported my satisfying success on the previous weekend, adding that I had even given some merkles away. I am not yet ready to believe that merkle hunters can always be counted on to be sharing and generous under all circumstances and all seasons, but have revised the judgment, that was growing to be almost absolute, because of my experience with them in years past, that they were all unreliable, not quite untruthful, but lacking in generosity and a sense of sharing. My opinion now is, and I may have to revise my judgment during or alter next year's merkle season, that there comes a point at which a merkle hunter who is successful in his hunt, is moved to what at least appears to be generosity, both in sharing his knowledge of places where the mushrooms do grow, and beyond that sharing what is found. But that point is not easily defined or predicted. In dealing with merkles, I believe, a person must reach a point like that of the “critical mass” of nuclear materials, when something drastic happens, (explosions, in the case of nuclear mass) and “truth and generosity” in the case of the merkle hunter. Next year’s merkle season, I expect, will be different from this one, and from all that have gone before. Trible opposes nuke waste site Senator. Paul Trible recently spoke out in opposition to the Department of Energy’s plan to locate a second high-level nuclear waste storage facility somewhere on the East Coast. Three of the possible sites are located in Virginia. Secretary of Energy John Harrington recently announced plans to resume the search for a second site. When the search was suspended last year, the list of possible sites included Bedford County, Halifax and Pittsylvania counties, and Louisa and Hanover counties. “I have introduced, along with Congressman Dan Daniel, legislation to eliminate the second highlevel nuclear waste site and allow all waste to be stored in one site now being established in the western United States,” Sen. Trible said. “There is no need for our nation to pursue plans for a second site. The western site is capable of holding all the waste generated until the year 2020. In addition, at a time of spending restraint, it makes no sense to spend billions of dollars we don’t have on a second site that’s unnecessary.” He explained that the legislation would prohibit the Department of Energy from moving ahead on the selection process for the second site and would remove the 70,000 metric ton cap placed on the dump site in the western United States. “By lifting this arbitrary limit,” Sen. Trible said, “the first site could be expanded to hold all the waste expected to be generated until the year 2020. There is no technical basis for the 70,000 ton capacity.” One site will meet our national needs, the senator stressed. “In addition, while the Department of Energy is projecting declining (nuclear) waste production, estimates of the cost of disposal sites are rising from $19.6 billion to $26.7 billion (per site) in only 18 months. This is money we simply don’t have.” “It’s essential we end the search for a second site and I’ll do all I can to protect Virginia,” Sen. Trible promised. Blasts security breaches Sen. Trible also blasted the government’s decision to allow Soviet contractors to work on the United States Embassy in Moscow without American supervision. The American Embassy is now one massive transmitter, he charged. “Letting Soviet contractors fabricate nuyor elements offsite, without U. S. inspection, was a major blunder. But we cannot ignore the Soviet efforts to compromise our security. Their action demands a response. “I believe the Soviets should not be permitted to move into their own new embassy on the heights of Washington, D. C.’s Mount Alto until we have a secure new embassy in Moscow.” But technology is only one part of the espionage problem, Sen. Trible continued. “It was human failure that allowed the disastrous compromise of security in our present embassy.” “We are paying the price today for the celebration of self and erosion of responsibility . . . The Marine guards who apparently betrayed their country are only the latest in a parade of moral and ethical weaklings who have let their heads be turned by lust or greed ... This selfishness and disdain for others — that also gives us drug pushers and street muggers and inside traders — makes it hard to maintain the sort of discipline that depends on individual responsibility and assures the success of democracy.” Opposes Empress II project “I have called on the Secretary of the Navy to eliminate the Chesapeake Bay as a possible site for the Empress II project,” Sen. Trible reported. Empress II is a $40 million Navy project to test the way electrical systems and electronic equipment aboard ships react to electromagnetic pulses generated during nuclear explosions. The plan «*lla for electromagnetic pulses of between four and seven million volts to be discharged into the water for 10 hours a day over a 10-day period. The Navy has targeted the Chesapeake Bay or the Virginia Capes as possible sites. Guantanamo Bay, in Cuba, is a possible alternate location. Pumping seven million volts of electricity into the Bay for long periods of time poses significant dangers to human health and the long-term effects may be equally devastating to migratory birds and marine life, Trible said. “I am particularly concerned about the effects high voltage pulses will have on individuals who live near the Bay. In addition, the impact of the pulses on marine and onshore emergency services communications could jeopardize the safety of those residents. “Moreover, any use of the Chesapeake Bay which would deny watermen, shippers and tourists access to the water would deprive large numbers of my constituents of their livelihood,” the senator stated. The Empress II project is important to our national security, Sen. Trible added, “but I am firmly convinced putting it in the Chesapeake Bay is ill-conceived.” Despite the Navy’s assurances that the electromagnetic pulses pose no identifiable threat to the Bay, the harmful effects of Empress II have not been adequately addressed, Sen. Trible continued. “In light of the potential long-term effects, we should not proceed with a program which is very likely to result in permanent damage to the Chesapeake Bay.” Supports grant of immunity Sen. Trible, who is a member of the Senate Select Committee presently investigating the Iran/Contra arms deal, supports the granting of use immunity to Lt. Col. Oliver North, former National Security Council aide, and Admiral John Poindexter, former National Security Advisor to President Reagan. Under the leadership of Senators Daniel Inouye and Warren Rudman, Sen. Trible said, “Our committee has been a model of bipartisanship. If we resist partisan temptations, the Senate Select Committee investigation can conclude this investigation in relatively short order. Certainly, we must act responsibly but it is equally important that we fulfill our mandate quickly.” The committee, Sen. Trible continued, need not delay the appearance of these two essential witnesses. They are available to answer our questions and the ques tions raised by the American people. We can fill in the gaps remaining from the reports of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Tower Commission, make the appropriate recommendations and get on with the business of governing. “The Iran/Contra affair has dominated the activities of both the executive and legislative branches of government since November of last year. It is time for government to move on,” Sen. Trible maintained. He added that ‘it is important to underscore that Congress can grant limited ‘use’ immunity to Poindexter and North and compel their testimony without interfering with a successful criminal prosecution by the Independent Counsel.” A clear majority on the committee, Sen. Trible maintained, now recognizes the desirability — and invevitability — of granting immunity. It is only a matter of timing. “There is no benefit to delay,” he said. “None to North and Poindexter, who have stated that they will speak only when granted immunity, none to the committee and certainly none to the country.” Throughout our history, Congressional committees have granted immunity to witnesses when that is the only means of disclosing critical information, he said, naming the Senate Watergate Committee, which granted immunity to 27 witnesses, as an example. “The legal requirements are no different in this case,” Sen. Trible said. “The Independent Counsel has available to him sufficient evidence from his own investigation, important memoranda and other documents — to seek indictments. If Mr. Walsh has a case of conspiracy or obstruction of justice against Poindexter and North it exists now* “The United States suffers domestically and abroad when one sensational issue dominates the and government for as long as the Iran/Contra affair has plagued us. We must, as a Congress and as a nation, move quickly, yet responsibly, to finish amassing the critical facts and allow the chips to fall where they may. “Only after hearing from Admiral Poindexter and Col. North can our Committee write the record, make its conclusions and offer remedial recommendations and then let history judge the Reagan administration,” Sen. Trible concluded.

May is Heart Memorial Month May is American Heart 8 Memorial Month ... a time to honor and keep the memory of a loved one alive while helping others live longer, healthier lives through a contribution to the American Heart Association’s Memorial Program. The memorial program, which is on-going throughout the year, offers individuals or groups the opportunity to memorialize a deceased family member, friend of business associate in the form of a contribution to support the research and education programs of the American Heart Association. During May, people who have recently, or in the past, lost someone special to cardiovascular disease, can join the American Heart Association in its fight against this dreaded killer. "The daily newspapers around the state are constant reminders of the tremendous number of deaths we suffer in Virginia due to heart disease,” says Kathy Kattmann, state campaign chairman of the Virginia Affiliate. “Memorial contributions are a simple and meaningful way to remember the people who have been special to us and, in turn, honor their names in the fight against heart disease.” To make a memorial contribution to the American Heart Association, one needs only to call or to write his local AHA office, local AHA Memorial Chairman, or the Virginia Affiliate at (804) 747-8334 and specify an amount to be given. For each contribution, the AHA sends a special “in memory of’ card with acknowledgement of the donor as the sender to the family of the bereaved. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Virginia, claiming the lives of more than 20,000 state residents each year. With the sup port of more than 70,000 volunteers statewide, the American Heart Assodaton continues its mission to reduce premature death and disability from cardiovascular disease. This year, more than $3.5 million in contributions has been allocated to research and community education and services to prevent heart disease and stroke. For more information on the memorial program or other programs and services of the American Heart Association, please contact the Virginia Affiliate at (804) 747-8334.

Asparagus: Spring’s delight By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extent km Agent Did you know that asparagus is the fifth most popular vegetable in the United States? Have you heard it called “grass” or “sparrow grass”? It is a member of the Lily of the Valley family. The word asparagus comes from the Greek word meaning “stalk” or “shoot.” This vegetable grows wild in the eastern Mediterranean Islands and Asis Minor and is believed to have originated there. The Romans left directions for growing and drying asparagus as early as 200 BC. Asparagus roots are believed to have been brought to the United States by early settlers. Thomas Jefferson grew this delightful vegetable in his greenhouses at Monticello. Hostesses in the United States are accustomed to serving the green variety to their guests; however in Holland, Belgium and Germany no hostess would be satisfied serving anything but the whitest of asparagus. Dieters find this delicate spring vegetable a real treat. Four spears (a half-inch in diameter), cooked and drained, have only 10 calories. In addition, they contain 30 milligrams of phosphorous, 110 milligrams of niacin, 540 units of vitamin A and 13 milligrams of calcium. Truly this is a nutritious vegetable for everyone! Techniques for cooking asparagus vary as greatly as do cooks. Here is one that I have found to be unbelievably simple. One needs a deep skillet or shallow pan, preferably the type that can go from stove-top to table. Arrange the stalks in two or three layers, placing the thicker stalks on the bottom and the thinner ones on top. Add enough cold water for a depth of a half-inch above the spears. Depending on personal preferences, some people like to add a halfteaspoon each of salt and sugar or honey to the cooking water. Bring uncovered to a full, rolling boil and allow to continue boiling 1 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the stalks. Remove from heat, let stand ' in cooking water* uncovered, at least 8 minutes or until ready to serve. This method provides certain natural controls. The asparagus continues to cook in the water as it cools. Should the wait be too long and the asparagus gets too cold, return to heat, bring to a boil and serve immediately. Using this method, asparagus will never over cook, become limp or gray. By not covering the vegetable, it retains its fresh crisp texture and gardenbright color. The following tips may be helpful in the selection and preparation regardless of how it is served: Select stalks that are green and tender. The tips should be tightly closed; before storing asparagus in the refrigerator, cut a thin slice from the base of each stalk; wrap a moist towel around the bottom of the stalks; when preparing to cook, break off tough ends by bending stalk gently until it snaps easily. Wash spears thoroughly in warm water, and remove the scales about one inch from the tip by scraping with a sharp knife or peeling using a vegetable peeler all the way down the stem. To use more of each stalk, peel the tough outer layer as you would a carrot — all the way to the white base of the stalk. Asparagus may be served hot or cold. Most people prefer to have it cooked, although some English have developed a fondness for eating it raw. Generally speaking, one pound will contain 16 to 20 stalks and serve three to four people. The easiest way to serve is to dribble melted butter, salt, and pepper over the stalks, or for variety add a squeeze of lemon and fresh parsley. Other ways include marinated or with the all-time favorites, Hollandaise or Vinaigrette sauces. The important things to remember are do not overcook and do not cover when cooking this marvelous vegetable. It is truly spring’s gift to the table in temptingly, varied dishes.

Or, if you were 84 years i old with failing sight and severe arthritis, where would you look for help in caring for your spouse after major surgery? Who might you ask for guidance in responding to an overpayment notice from Social Security or in comparing Medigap Insurance policies? Many times folks are so confused about what services are available, where to go to enroll and who’s eligible for what, that they just don’t know where to start when they need help coping with a problem or series of problems. One of the most important things an area agency on aging offers to the community is one central place where older persons and their families can come to get help and information. In Planning District 9, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center provides a comprehensive array of Aging Services similar to Area Agencies on Aging which are separate entities in other Virginia localities. Staff of the Center’s aging programs are familiar with all resources in the community and can provide access to both the services they offer directly and to those provided by other organizations. Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center staff known as Senior Advocates, who are trained in social work and paralegal skills, respond to a wide range of requests for assistance. Sometimes information and/or referral is all that is required to meet the request, for example, providing a listing of local pharmacies that make deliveries to homebound individuals. In other cases, the advocate may need to visit an older person’s home to make a full assessment of their problems and resources. A typical referral might come from a hospital social worker, letting the Center know that an older man is coming home from the hospital after nuyor surgery. The only caregiver at home might be his elderly wife. Since the hospital social worker hasn’t seen the home itself, the advocate does a functional assessment in the home setting, asking questions such as: Does the couple have adequate heat, running water, too many steps for the husband to climb? What can the husband do for himself? What does he need help with, what is he absolutely unable to do? What can the wife do to help? Are there other family members who can help out? Are there neighbors who could check in on them? Do they have adequate financial resources to handle their medical bills? The next part of the process is planning solutions and connecting with needed services. The couple may need a homemaker through the CSC or other provider to help with bathing, meal preparation, and light cleaning. They may need home delivered meals on days when the homemaker isn’t there. They may need a volunteer set up to drive them to doctor appointments, and help filling out an application for public benefits such as food stamps to stretch their resources. The advocate helps set up the services, coordinates the activities of the various agencies involved, and monitors to see that the identified needs are met. This whole process is often called case management or care management. In addition to providing case management services, the Advocates provide direct assistance: helping a client find more suitable housing and then helping them move, working out a client’s budget, counseling a family about a nursing home placement or facilitating a family support group. The CSC also offers a wide range of supportive services to older people in the community who do not necessarily require full case management. In addition to the in-home services mentioned above, the Center provides Senior Meal Sites in each county; transportation to the Meal Sites, shopping and medical appointments; employment assistance for the older workers; a merchant discout program; a bimonthly newsletter entitled the VOICE OF EXPERIENCE; family support groups; and extensive volunteer opportunities through the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). To be eligible for most of these programs one must be 60 years or older. The exception is the Older Workers Program, for which eligibility begins at 55. Small charges are made for some transportation services; other aging programs request contributions toward the cost of delivering the service. For more information, call the CSC at 825-6494, 347-0440 or 6721717. Ms. Morgan is the Aging Services Coordinator for Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Springtime; pollen time By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extemion Agent It’s springtime. The grass grows green, the flowers bloom - and you sneeze your head off. Springtime means pollen blowing in the breeze along with the scent of lilacs. For hay fever sufferers, that yellow powder on the porch and car and up your nose can make things miserable. Pollen is the male portion of the tree fertilization cycle. It has to reach the female flowers in order to conceive new trees. Some plants are pollinated by animals. Others depend on the wind to move that pollen around. And it’s those wind-dependent plants that cause the problem. Trees have two general types of pollen. One tree pollen comes from showy flowers. It’s usually sticky and clumps together. Insects, bats and birds spread it. Trees without showy flowers depend on the wind. Their pollen comes from male flowers like catkins, the drooping male flowers on r oaks, walnuts and hickories. These flowers shed pollen into the air currents on warm, dry days. Humidity, air temperature and wind all control the amount and distribution of the pollen the flowers give off. If the weather is too wet and the relative humidity too high, the trees won’t shed pollen and the male flowers drop to the ground without distributing any of their pollen. If the weather is too dry, the pollen sacs or flowers may mature too early and release poorly developed pollen grains. The weather during spring is good for pollen dispersal and a problem to hay fever sufferers. But blaming pine trees for all that misery may be wrong. Generally, pollen will be smaller in hardwoods than in conifers. Pine pollen is large, has small wings, is produced in abundance, and is yellow in color. Pine pollen often causes a physical reaction rather than an allergic one because, in its abundance, it irritates membranes. Some people are allergic to pine pollen, but many more people are allergic to other pollens in the air at the same time, like oak or redbud. People who are allergic to redbud pollen, for example, suffer from nose and eye irritation. This pollen has many spikes and points on its surface. And oak pollen isn’t highly visible, but it’s in the air at the same time pine pollen is and can cause allergic reactions. In addition to causing all the sneezing, runny noses and itchy eyes that most are familiar with, pollen has a few properties that many may not know about. It’s abrasive. Use water, air or a soft brush to remove pollen from surfaces. Rubbing or wiping may cause damage to the finish on a car, to parts in delicate machinery and to surfaces like furniture, bathroom fixtures and televisions inside the house. Pollen is also high in nitrogen. But don’t try to add more to your garden or flower bed. Pollen also contains toxic materials and more than the normal amount of pollen in the garden can damage sensitive plants.

Health officials seek cat vaccination law despite enforcement problems The State Health Commissioner wants Rappahannock’s supervisors to adopt a requirement for rabies vaccination of cats, whether or not the county can enforce the law. That’s the message district sanitarian Charles Shepherd brought to the May board meeting. Health officials understand that such an ordinance will be “almost impossible” to enforce but enactment will be an affirmation that the Board of Supervisors recognizes rabies to be a serious problem, Mr. Shepherd said. He described the vaccine as “one step in building a barrier between wildlife and domesticated animals and people.” According to Mr. Shepherd, this district is home to 25 percent of the rabid cats reported in the state. The figure is three times the number of rabid dogs discovered here to date, he said. (According to figures released by Dr. C. M. G. Buttery, Virginia’s State Health Commissioner, since 1980 33 cats and three dogs have been positively diagnosed as rabid in the Commonwealth.) Not only are rabid felines more numerous; they present a greater danger. Cats are more aggressive than dogs and more likely to scratch or bite adults and children, thereby spreading the deadly disease, the sanitarian said. As to the difficulties of enforcing a feline vaccination requirement, Mr. Shepherd said, “Most citizens are law abiding, and if there’s a law on the books, they’ll adhere to it.” In a letter sent to all county boards of supervisors in early March, Dr. Buttery said that the rabies problem is escalating dramatically. He said his office had reports of 44 rabid animals in the state during the first seven weeks of 1987, compared with 12 reports during the same period last year. Dr. Buttery termed the expansion of the raccoon epidemic as “significant.” Rabid skunks have also begun to be reported as associated with the raccoon outbreak. Dr. Buttery’s Richmond office reported an increase in the number of animal rabies cases between 1986 and 1986 in Clarke, Fairfax, Loudoun, Shenandoah and Warren counWP-MLIIHIJ, L.t. JlltJ.MJI.il. I-H. I ■ H.,1.! ... I ties. According to the Fauquier County Health Department, contact with a rabid cat forced an elderly woman in south-central Fauquier to undergo the painful and expensive post-exposure rabies shots in January. Since 1981, eight rabid cats have been reported in Fauquier. Another person in Fauquier underwent treatment after being bitten by a rabid fox near Middleburg earlier this year. Dr. John Einarson, chief state health officer for Planning District 9, said that most of the cats diagnosed as rabid have been house cats which were taken to veterinarians when they became sick. “We have no idea how many of them with rabies went to the woods and died,” he added. Asked by the board for his opinion on the rabies threat in the county, animal control warden Jack Bruce noted that he recently got his first case of suspected rabies in a cat. “I have had a couple of positive (Continued on Page 13) RENAULT •ENCORE* ALLIANCE*GTA $500 REBATE OR FINANCING v 0 % (Poy back only what you borrowed) NO INTEREST PONTIAC *Sunbird*Firebird*Fiero •Grand Am*6000*STE •Bonneville »J] 200 REBATE -—--ORFINANCING #3.9% OLDSMOBILE •Firenza'Calais’Ciera •Delta 88* Regency 98 -*1200 REBATE -OR—FINANCING £3.9% These rebates are in addition to Kern's tremendous discounts and super trade-in allowances.

Rabies (Continued from Page 12) cases in dogs in the last 28 years,” he added. “Five in the county since 1981; none before that,” interjected Mr. Shepherd. Supervisor A1 Henry asked Mr. Bruce if enactment of the cat vaccination ordinance would put an undue burden on him as animal control officer. “If you were driving down the highway and saw a cat sitting over in a field, what would you do?” Mr. Bruce inquired, pointing out the difficulties in determining ownership of a cat, much less whether it has been vaccinated against rabies. Conceding that the state’s rabies epidemic poses a serious health threat, Chairman Hubert Gilkey still questioned how such an ordinance could be enforced. “That’s the problem.” Similar local laws have been enacted in Loudoun, Prince William f and Albemarle counties, Mr. Shepherd reported. Fauquier has adopted an emergency ordinance and will hold hearings soon on making the feline rabies vaccination a permanent legal requirement, while ordinances are now being drafted in Culpeper and Orange, he said. “How are they enforced?” asked Supervisor Charles Estes. Primarily by veterinarians who tell pet owners of the law when they bring their cats in for other medical attention, Mr. Shepherd said. “I’m worried about the liability,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. “If we pass an ordinance and then don’t enforce it, then I think we’d be more liable than if we never had one in the first place.” “I don’t think we have sufficient answers today to act,” added Supervisor Estes. By consensus, the board agreed to table the Health Department’s petition for a cat vaccination ordinance pending advice from the Commonwealth’s Attorney. Rabid cats: Greater danger, fewer symptoms Rabies is well-known and rightly-feared, and anyone who owns animals is certainly familiar with the requirement for vaccination of dogs against the universally fatal disease. But, the recent publicity surrounding a dramatic increase in the disease in cats has many people - and public officials — wondering why there is such an urgency about the problem. What is the sudden concern about rabid cats? Dr. John Einarson, chief of the state health department for Planning District 9, explained that the department’s concern is two-fold. First, the current outbreak, which has primarily involved raccoons and skunks since it was first reported in 1981, is spreading. Second, since cats are more frequently let outside unleashed and unsupervised, they wander more than dogs. They are nightprowling creatures, and often forage in the same places (such and skunks. inis puts them at a much greater risk than a dog of contacting a rabid wild animal, Dr. Einarson said. The rabies virus usually enters a victim’s system through saliva after it is bitten by an infected animal. During the incubation period, which can be as long as six weeks, the rabies virus slowly moves through the central nervous system toward the brain. Once it reaches the brain it turns around, spreading throughout the animal’s other organs. The salivary glands are among the first affected, which produces the foaming at the mouth most commonly associated with rabies. Dr. Richard Perry, an epidemiologist with the VirginiaMaryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, said that the disease affects the nervous system and brain functions as it spreads, accounting for the unusual behaviors often seen in rabid animals. Wild animals may lose their fear of man and other animals, and usually friendly domestic pets may suddenly and without reason turn on their owners. The violent behavior is most often sudden and its onset unpredictable, Dr. Perry cautioned. On the other hand, he noted, other animals will become unusually docile and subdued as the disease progresses. Eventually, the rabies virus overcomes the entire brain, shutting down the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions such as heartbeat and breathing. Death follows shortly after. Dr. Einarson said that rabies in cats is also more difficult to detect than in dogs. Cats do not usually exhibit the classic rabies itoms, jvhich include: sym] '.oV-1 i tion • Loss of appetite • Restlessness and agitation • Paralysis or increased salivation Cats with rabies, Dr. Einarson said, are usually passive. Often the only symptom owners see is a difficulty in swallowing. Fortunately, protection of cats is as easy as it is for dogs. Vaccinations are similar to those administered to dogs; the first shot is good for one year, succeeding shots protect the animal for three years. Any veterinarian can administer the vaccine. Both cats and dogs should be vaccinated against rabies as soon as they reach 12 weeks of age. Dogs, of course, are required by state law to receive a rabies vaccination once they are six months old.

According to Mr. Estabrook, the state’s standards of quality dictate that the average class size can be no more than 25 with a maximum of 30 in any given class. “I cannot say that this is ideal,” the superintendent said. “Nor can I say that the position the Board of Supervisors put me in is ideal. I’m trying to do the best that I can.” “I cannot in good conscience cut two teaching positions,” responded School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, holding out the possibility that the board could, however, give concurrence on eliminating one position. But, she warned, “we'll be putting ourselves in a worse situation for next year with the Board of Supervisors.” Mr. Estabrook agreed, adding that he had “no words of wisdom.” But, the superintendent added, “it’s certainly apparent to me that the supervisors are not interested in quality education or we wouldn’t have gotten the butchering we got!” No one on the School Board wanted to see the 1987-88 budget cut, countered the chairman. “We presented what was, in our judgement, in the best interests of the educational progress of the students of Rappahannock.” But she maintained that the board must now “take the lumps” and adjust to the $213,234 reduction. Looking to exploding school populations in neighboring counties of Fauquier, Culpeper and Loudoun, Mrs. Massie predicted that Rappahannock’s enrollment will not continue to decline for much longer and pointed to swelling kindergarten numbers as evidence that the trend here is already beginning to reverse. Eliminating teaching positions now will create difficulties when enrollment increases and the' School Board must ask the supervisors to restore those positions, she contended. “Over all these years, we tried to get our pupil/teacher ratio to a good, satisfactory working condition,” said Paul Nichols, attending his first meeting since his hospitalization for a heart attack four months ago. “Now when we’re where we hoped 14 or 15 years ago we’d be,” the superintendent suggests “squeezing the teachers” and dropping the elementary school “barely within state mandates” on class size, Mr. Nichols added. Administration also a concern Reaching what he called “the crux of the matter,” Mr. Estabrook said he is concerned about administrative staffing as well as class size. He noted that instead of eliminating the position of special services coordinator, he proposes an eight percent increase in Pam Rowe’s salary. The superintendent said it’s a “myth” and “patently untrue” that her only responsibilities are supervision of special education, gifted and talented and Chapter I programs, but he did not elaborate on what those other responsibilities might be. “There’s been significant movement in gifted and talented programs,” Mr. Estabrook said, adding that ‘It’s a more time consuming matter than it was five or six years ago.” With special education, “there’s a very real need for attention to detail,” he continued, warning the School Board of “very real consequences” if time limits for testing and placement get “off track.” He called it “absurd” to think, as the supervisors suggest, that the “time consuming” duties of the special services coordinator can be divided between building administrators and the assistant superintendent. Retaining that position is especially critical in light of other central office departures, Mr. Estabrook said, reporting that neither assistant superintendent Tom Campbell nor adminsitrative secretary Judy Atkins will be returning next year. He acknowledged that the board will select the “most able” of the applicants for the administrative job but added “it will take time for that person to handle the range of things we’ve asked Tom to take care of... We’re not going to find a replacement for that boy. He’s too good!” Mr. Estabrook described veteran secretary Judy Atkins as “solid gold”, adding that “she does far more than type letters.” With a new assistant superintendent and a new administrative secretary and no special services coordinator, the superintendent said, “I don’t know where the time will come from” to adequately handle supervision of special education, gifted and talented programs and Chapter I. The responsibilities can’t be assigned to building adminsitrators - “those people are swamped now!” Mr. Estabrook maintained. “That position (of special services coordinator) is needed,” added Mr. Campbell. “You can play the numbers game” with declining enrollment to justify adminstrative staff reduction but if responsibility for special education is assigned to a building administrator, “it will be handled badly,” he contended. “It’s too big a job.” Reviewing the rest of the categorical budget cuts, Mr. Estabrook predicted that the School Board will have to go back to the supervisors for either a supplemental appropriation or approval to transfer Kinds from another category in order to provide necessary psychological services required by triannual special education evaluations coming up in 1987-88. He also warned that without the deleted $5,000 subsidy in local funds, the school lunch program will be running at a deficit before the year is through. Mrs. Massie pointed out that parents will have to be notified that there’s no money in the budget for the customary tuition assistance for summer school. (Rappahannock County does not offer summer school, but in past years, state funds have been used to provide $25 in tuition assistance per student for Rappahannock youngsters who attend summer classes in adjoining counties. That $25 covered only a part of the tuition charge and parents were responsible for providing transportation to summer school in Fauquier, Culpeper or Warren counties. In addition, the tuition assistance was given only upon successful completion of a summer school course. This year, the state funds were not forthcoming and the School Board proposed using $750 in local funds for tuition assistance; the supervisors deleted that entire budgetary category. They also cut $1,220 proposed for adult education.) With the completion of the superintendent’s presentation of his suggestions on how to absorb the cuts made by the supervisors, Mrs. Massie asked for reaction from fellow board members Bill Oliver and Nancy Reeve. (Mr. Nichols left at 10 p.m. before Mr. Estabrook finished his review; Randall Updike did not attend Tuesday’s meeting.) “It’s a lot to react to,” Mrs. Reeve countered, asking the administrators to provide another set of alternatives based on eliminating only one teaching position and giving all classified employees an eight percent pay increase. Mr. Oliver requested additional information on pupil/teacher ratio over the past several years and the impact a staff reduction would have on that figure. “We’re going to have to give somewhere,” he conceded. “I’m not sure that (eliminating teaching positions) is a good plice to give,” countered Mrs. Reeve. The board took no action Tuesday on Mr. Estabrook’s proposals but agreed to work Anther on budget adjustments next week following interviews of candidates for the assistant superintendent’s job. Contract (Continued from Page 1) spond with a recommendation to proceed with design. Preliminary design will then be submitted, showing road location, grading plans, trench sites, life estimates for landKtt« operations, Jeacbege controls.,* sedimentation ponds and other details. “How much money will we have in it - exclusive of land costs - when it’s ready for the first load of trash?” asked Supervisor Miller. “With trenches developed, a good access road with security, a basic little office building, you’re probably looking at $150,000 to $200,000,” the engineer replied. “Ahh!” breathed John McCarthy, the board’s administrative assistant. “I feel better,” agreed Mr. Miller. “I do too!” added Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “Now, don’t hold me to that exact figure,” Mr. Joyce cautioned. “But it should be somewhere in that range.” Mr. McCarthy explained that the board didn’t expect an exact price, but rather an estimate for budgetary r purposes. "Even if it’s $100,000 more, we’d be within the margin of safety that we can live with.” “I’d give myself at least a $100,000 cushion, maybe as much as $300,000,” Mr. Joyce advised. Looking at a “worst case scenario,” the county could have to depend as much as (1,000 per day for* solid waste disposal until a landfill is established, noted Supervisor Charles Estes, asking that the testing, reporting and permitting process be expedited to the greatest degree possible so that the development of the landfill could actually begin this construction season. At the same time, he emphasized that the county wants the Stover tract to i be thoroughly evaluated. “There’s too much at risk for any short cuts,” Mr. Joyce agreed. “We don’t want any short cuts!” Mr. Gilkey stressed. “You want quality (geo-technical studies and testing) and you want it done as quickly as possible,” affirmed the engineer. “If it can be accomplished without affecting the quality and without affecting the end use of the site, we want to get one trench in this con ATTENTION ALL CONCERNED CITIZENS OF JACKSON DISTRICT RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY AND CULPEPER COUNTY RESIDENTS ON ROUTES 211,621,622,613,639,730, S11 and 626.

Concerned citizens (Continued from Page 1) temative: buying the property themselves and subdividing and reselling it. Mrs. Early replied that she believed that the supervisors have a contingency contract on the property already. Mrs. Aldi Holdman told the audience that recycling is the answer, “so that we won’t need a landfill. . . how many of you,” she asked, “are against the landfill enough to change your ways. If you don’t buy the pesticides to kill the bugs and then throw the containers away, you won’t have to worry about the stuff in the landfill.” She suggested that the highway department be consulted about the possibility of establishing a recycling station on Rt. 211, so that people could deposit items for recycling on their way to work. “Why,” she added, “if we buy stuff from the stores, shouldn’t the manufacturers be responsible and dispose of it? That would make the landfill less necessary.” “There are a lot of intelligent people here. I’ve only given it a housewife’s thought,” she concluded. “We’ve presented that idea to the supervisors, and they don’t want recycling,” Mrs. Early replied. “We’ve tried - we had a session with them - and we got a firm ‘No’.” “That takes a long time,” another member of the audience observed. “We’re looking at the situation now.” Col. Bingham agreed. “It’s very viable in the long range. But we’re fighting a July 1 deadline. There’s no way we can get it going in that short time.” “That’s true,” Mrs. Holdman replied. A1 Henry asked to address the meeting to advise them of the latest development at the supervisors’ work session, also held Thursday night. He told the group that, by a 30 margin, with himself and Hampton District supervisor Newbill Miller abstaining, the board voted to sign a contingency contract on the Stover property, at a price of $185,000. He added that the county is working with several nearby counties to dispose of Rappahannock’s trash during the period between July 1 and whenever the landfill is finally put into operation. If we don’t have a plan, he said, no other county will work with us. In that case, he added, the county’s trash would have to be hauled to a private landfill, probably in southwest Virginia, at an estimated cost of $1,000 per day. Trash disposal presently costs $60,000 a year, Supervisor Henry said. “Going from $60,000 to $365,000 per year would not be responsible (on the part of the board).” He was asked why the county doesn’t put up the $10,000 per acre bond now required of private landfills and continue to use the present Clark site, located on Rt. 621 outside Woodville. “Because of the threat of other lawsuits, and the state has said that the site is not feasible. The state has said we have to be out by June 30.” “Mr. Gregori,” Col. Bingham replied, “has said the state would bend over backward. They will do anything, including an extension. That was the first recommendation they made . . . There is space for one more year. I’m certain we could come up with something acceptable to everyone in Jackson District. “We’re not opposed to the landfill - we’re opposed to the location of he landfill and the 25 year life. Everyone in the county should be opposed to the 25 year life,” Col. Bingham said. “Why was this site chosen?” asked another member of the audience. “This didn’t just start,” the Jackson District supervisor replied. “If you look at the Rappahannock News, they’ve looked at several sites near Little Washington, Peyton Farms, a site behind the elementary school, the Lee farm, the Saltonstall tract. “I’m not here to debate you,” Mr. Henry continued, “but to give you information to decide what to do. I want the citizens to know the facts before they spend $2,000.1 want you to know the facts before you make a decision.” In response to another question, Mr. Henry replied that the contingency contract is “five or six pages long,” and is filed at the clerk’s office and may be seen by anyone during business hours. “I can’t believe,” retorted David Eisenman, that as big as Rappahannock County is” that this is the best site. “I’ve walked it four times; it’s got a branch which runs around it, six or eight springs - there’s a swamp down through it. We found another spring the other day ... It don’t make no sense. “I’ll tell you,” he alleged, “why it’s going there. Because somebody already put their finger down that it goes there. I guarantee that I’ll do everything (I can) to fight it.” “There’s streams,” another person shouted, “seven or eight streams go right into the Rappahannock River. It’s 600 feet to the river, a 400 foot drop to the river.” “I’m not here to debate,” Mr. Henry insisted. “If you give me three minutes, I’ll be happy to tell you.” “Go ahead, Al!” someone yelled. “We want to hear,” another voice agreed. To dispose of the trash in southwest Virginia, Mr. Henry said, would cost $35,000 a month. A regional recycling facility, as proposed by the citizens’ committee, would cost about $50 million and is at least five to six years away. The board, he added, told the citizens’ committee that it would be happy to look at other sites, other plans. “Col. Bingham was quoted in the paper” as saying that there’d be 1,200 people out looking. “I asked him Saturday,” Mr. Henry continued, “and Col. Bingham said, ‘No, I haven’t looked.’ ” “The board is trying to be responsible. I don’t think that $1,000 a day is responsible... we want to see it done right, not take any shortcuts. Tonight I asked that the budget allocation (for the landfill) be increased from $300,000 to $450,000 for next year... if it’s not spent, it will go to the general fund and be available for other uses.” Mr. Henry added that the county has estimated disposal costs at $33 per ton of waste, and that approximately 4,000 tons will be generated each year. The landfill site will be fenced, monitored and restricted? and will be open only to Rappahannock residents and their trash, he stressed. “You say the dump would be handled by the county,” Mr. Eisenman said. “The dumpster site out here is handled by the county - it would be the same way.” If the dumpsters are removed, someone else argued, people will dump trash on the roads. If they are kept, it will be the same situation as now, a mess. Cathleen Shiff said she is new to the county, but is a member of Fairfax County’s Hazardous Materials Response Team. “We get amazing stuff from households.” She added that “any group which would make a decision to put a landfill on a site with subterranean water, which might affect the water system downstate, I don’t trust them to have someone here 16 hours a day.” “Amen!” a voice replied. Several questions followed about working with the state, or getting Mr. Gregori’s promise of an extension on the Clark site in writing. “The state emphasizes with us,” Col. Bingham replied. “Mr. Gregori will work with us. If that man (Mr. Clark) does not want to put up the $10,000 bond, the state cannot intervene . . . the Attorney General’s office says get a lawyer. ” Mr. Miller, Col. Bingham continued, “had the landfill closed in Montgomery County, and you know how politics are there ... I don’t believe he’s ever lost a case . . . I’m a good judge of character, and I was impressed.” Mr. Henry said that the supervisors want a contract signed so they can show the state a good-faith effort to get a lanfill in place. “If we test and there’s as much water as ev erybody says, we’re back to a poor site.” “Nothing is concrete,” Mrs. Early added, “until the state issues the permit... if it goes in and becomes a danger, the state will stop it. But we can put stipulations in now to protect Jackson District.” “We either get a court injunction,” someone observed, “to stop the Stover tract,' or we get it rammed down our throats. That’s what it comes down to.” Mrs. Dutchy Fannon suggested that someone might be found who would be willing to lease a site to the county, and have it returned after a period of years, reclaimed and usuable for pastureland again. It’s a viable concept, Mr. Henry agreed. The same concept was suggested for the Lee property. “We (the county) would be willing to apply that contract anywhere.” Robert Carson said that “I view the landfill as if it were suggested that a nuclear plant there. No one can say either is absolutely safe. Remember, one year ago, what happened in Russia.” Closer to home, Mr. Carson continued, “at Three Mile Island, they had to relocate an entire community; and they cannot calculate the number of people who will die of cancer from the exposure ... No one can control the stuff that goes in ... it could destroy several communities . . . empty into the Rappahannock River... into the Chesapeake Bay. . . There are nauseous odors, germfilled breezes.” Those in power, Mr. Carson added, if they don’t think that it affects them, they should think of their families and future generations. Once a suit comes into being, he said, “no one can transfer assets. Public officials are liable when they support and condone a hazard . . People in power cannot overrule morality. This affects health. It is a moral issue.” (In two separate telephone interviews with the Rappahannock News Monday, Pennsylvania state officials disputed Mr. Carson’s allegations regarding the March, 1979 accident at Three Mile Island. John Comey, press officer with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, said that there was “absolutely no resettlement” of the towns of Middletown and Steelton, which were closest to the plant site. Governor Richard Thornburgh suggested, several days after the accident, that pregnant women and pre-school children within a five-mile radius of the area consider leaving the area temporarily as a precaution, but Mr. Comey stressed that there was no mandatory evacuation or resettlement of any kind. The accident “has had no adverse impact on the area,” he stated. Those people who did leave, he said, returned with a week to 10 days. Bruce Reimer, a press officer with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, said that Mr. Carson was “100 percent correct - but not the way he means,” about incalcuable numbers of cancer deaths. “There is no evidence of increased cancer deaths or new cancer cases.” He urged caution because of the long lead time involved with cancer statistics, but said that the 15 to 20 studies done so far have found “nothing which would lead us to believe there are any adverse health effects from the accident up to the present time... none at all.”) After reaching a consensus that the residents present at the meeting want to meet with Mr. Miller, Mrs. Early asked for pledges of support, and set a time for the meeting. It was set for Thursday, May 14, but has since been changed to Sunday, May 17, at 2:30 p.m. at the Amissville Fire Hall. Mr. Miller and his assistant will first walk the Stover site, then meet with residents. The meeting is open to the public, and representatives of the Citizens for Jackson District committee urged all interested county residents to attend. Mrs. Early said early this week that, so far, the Citizens for Jackson District committee has collected $5,000 in donations and pledges. “The people,” she said, “are definitely behind us.” A1 Henry (Continued from Page 1) next five to ten years.” On the question of the landfill, Mr. Henry said “that’s been bothering me. I’ve been taking a lot of flak about it - if it were anyone else, in their district, it would be the same thing. “I’ve been against the Stover site . . . I’ve tried to keep people informed.” Mr. Henry abstained in the supervisors’ vote last week to put a contingency contract on the Stover site because Mount Vernon Realty, where he is an agent, is handling the contract. He said that although Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke advised him that there was no conflict of interest because no money was coming directly to him, he abstained to avoid any possible future legal challenge on those grounds. “If I voted it would have been against - but I felt it best to abstain.” Asked if he had found his real estate sales and appraisal business to be any conflict in making decisions while on the board, he replied that, if anything, he felt it was a benefit. “In dealing with the reassessment, with questions of values and procedures, the board has been able to use my expertise. “It has been no problem on any issue I have voted on. I have voted the way that Jackson District residents told me, or in the way that I felt was best for their interests. If there is a problem,” he concluded, “it is more a perceived problem than an actual one.” He said that, in the end, his decision was the result of the unpredictability of the position. It was not the amount of work, but the fact that meetings might last far longer than was anticipated which created conflicts with family and business. The May 4 regular board meeting, he said, "for example began at 9 a.m., and was expected to end about 12:30. We walked out at 5:30 p.m.” Night meetings begin at 7, he added, and instead of ending at 9 or 9:30, “we break off at 11 p.m. and return to finish up the next day. ‘That’s hard on anybody who has some kind of a business and a family, and you need to spend time with them.” On running the county government, Mr. Henry said he feels “the county should be run as a corporaYOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility: saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. tion. The voters are the stockholders. I have done that, and I will continue to do that, for the rest of the year." Asked for his reflections on the coming election, Mr. Henry replied that “I would hope that the other people vieing for the position will get interested in the county’s functions; begin attending monthly and budget meetings, special meetings, work sessions; so whoever is elected can step into the Jackson District seat and go to work without a lot of briefing by the other members.” Will he endorse another candidate? Mr. Henry was asked. “At this point,” he said, “I’m not going to support anyone; but I’m definitely against the candidacy of Mr. Bingham.” lOLY£'BIBLEy NUGGETS OF TRUTH Family Worship Center Washington, Va. Last week in Nuggets we looked at the fact that Jesus will not only save you, but will heal you also (1 Peter 2:24). If Jesus is the healer then why are some Christians sick? One reason; God has a law called the law of sowing and reaping. Galatians chap. 6 verse 7 says whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. Verse 8 says if we sow to the flesh or to bad things we will reap bad things, if we sow to Godly things, we will reap Godly things. If I sow seeds of weeds I will reap weeds. You may have sown bad seeds in your lifetime and are reaping a harvest from those bad seeds now. Jesus will help you root out those bad seeds if you ask him to. Another reason Christians are sometime sick is because they reject the knowledge that Jesus not only died for their sin, He also died so we could walk in health and happiness. Hosea 4:6 in part says "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge, because they rejected knowledge. "Psalm 103 says “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of his benefits: who forgives all your sins and who heals all your diseases;" (please read through verse 5). The word salvation means not only saved from eternal hell, but is also means deliverance, preservation, rescue and healing. If we forget God’s benefits, and one is - He will heal all our diseases; then we will continue to stay sick. It takes faith to move God, when we believe what the Bible says about us is true, then we can enjoy good health. Do you wish to trade your sickness for health? It's up to you, just accept what God has done for us when he sent Jesus, believe in your heart that all things are possible and you can trade your sickness for health! ‘Virginia Patterns’ art show For the fourth consecutive year artists from Fauquier and the surrounding five counties will be displaying their works in the “Virginia Patterns” art show and sale.
