Sperryville sees largest .festival yet By LOU HATTER Rappahannock N*wi SUIT Writer With everyone in town participating in the preparations for Sperryville’s Spring Festival, and everyone including the weatherman - at least the long-rang forecaster - cooperating, a beautiful weekend seems assured to celebrate spring in the Blue Ridge Mountains. On both Saturday and Sunday, the festival will open at 10 a.m. and there will be plenty do to until closing at 6 p.m. each day. “I’m telling everyone rain or shine, but the forecast is for a good weekend,” said Cheri Woodard, president of the Sperryville Business Council, which sponsors the festival. “It’s going to be the biggest and best ever!” she added. The festival promises to offer entertainment, sales, food and drink and just plain relaxation for visitors to “The Little Apple.” From Country Manor down Rt. 211 into town, and on every street in town, merchants, civic organizations and the town’s residents are planning to usher in the summer with a special celebration. As has become a tradition at Sperryville’s festivals, there will be no admission charges to any of the events during the weekend. Country Manor will have a tent sale in the parking lot Saturday and Sunday, apple butter demonstrations by Roy Pullen, as well as basketmaking and other crafts demonstrations throughout the weekend. Parkway Gift Shop and That Sperryville Emporium will be offering a selection of local crafts. There will be a country auction at the Emporium at 2 p.m. Saturday, and the Sperryville Rescue Squad will be cooking both days in the parking lot. Country Elegance, Chipmunk Hollow and the House of Dried Flowers, all on Rt. 211 West, will all be celebrating the weekend with open houses and special items. “Old Way” Crafts Village, also located on Rt. 211 west of town, will have demonstrations by William M. Moran-Luthier, violin maker, as well as pottery by Maggie Rogers and stained glass by Patti Mullans. Refresh FAITH MOUNTAIN ! .

Brookside Fruits and Crafts will offer their selection of handsplit white oak baskets and other wood crafts. Elmer’s Antiques, on Rt. 651, will have home squeezed apple cider to sample and sell, as well as Rappahannock’s finest apples. Mr. Atkins is also offering 10 percent off all antiques this weekend. (Continued on Page 20) Residents meet Midi Washington attorney By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer On Sunday afternoon, about 75 Amissville residents met with Washington, D. C-, environmental attorney Leonard Miller. The residents, who are concerned abotft * the possibility of a landfill being located on the Stover property on Rt. 639 east of the village, consulted Mr. Miller about the prospect of retaining him to represent them in their opposition to the county’s plan. In a telephone interview from his Washington office Tuesday evening, Mr. Miller told the Rappahannock News that he and two assistants spent about two hours walking the Stover property before meeting with the citizens. Lynn Monk, an attorney with Mr. Miller’s firm, Swindler and Berlin, and Dan Prater, an assistant on community and congressional fact-based issues, assisted him with the assessment. Although he noted that “obviously on a quick visit it is difficult to make lasting observations,” Mr. Miller said that in his almost 20 years of working in the environmental area he “has been in several areas like it before.” In making his assessment, Mr. Miller said he took into account the topography of the land, the height of T the proposed landfill in- relationship to'tfie surrounding land, the accessibility of the property and the improvements which would be necessary,-and the effects a landfill would have on the surrounding properties and their values. He added that the environmental impact of the proposed landfill on the area is “an issue which I have not seen discussed.” While on the site, Mr. Miller said he performed litmus paper tests on several streams to determine their acid levels. The result, a pH of five, would, according to Mr. Miller, indicate slightly acidic levels in the streams. “I don’t know exactly what that means in terms of a landfill but it would seem it might be difficult to build.” He said that the main point which he made to the group was that the choice of the site was apparently made on the basis of the “least undesirable” of the available tracts, rather than on the basis of environmental impact criteria. “It is an vtnderstandable, practical way to go about the search. but it is not the best way . . . That concerned me when I looked at the process from a distance.” Mr. Miller said that he told the residents that some of the arguments for their acceptance of the landfill were just not valid. Because the roads are littered, which he said he did not find to be the case, is not a reason to put in a landfill. The same argument applies to the “NIMBY” syndrome, he added. There are valid concerns raised about ecological and aesthetic effects on the surrounding area, he said. “These are not frivolous concerns.” The Mount Trashmore example, he added, is a (Continued on Page 20) Council authorizes water plan By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The first step toward the refurbishment of Washington’s ailing water system was taken last Wednesday when Town Council voted to send the project out for engineering and design specifications. At the same time, Mayor Dean Morehouse and Treasurer Brad Fisher were authorized to seek funding from federal, state and private sources, or a combination of the three. “It’s not going to be easy,” said Mayor Morehouse. “This thing is going to cost a lot more than we think.” Preliminary engineering done in 1978 by John Baumgardner, he said, put a price tag in the $40,000 range on the reconstruction project at that time. “Over $100,000 is my guess,” the mayor added. Mayor Morehouse suggested that the town attempt to reach a negotiated price for the project with Greely and Hansen Engineering, who he said were highly recommended by Mr. Fisher. “They want to get into small towns, and they’d like to use us as their guinea pigs.” He estimated that the two weeks of engineering work which he thought would be necessary would cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. “I would like to do it cheaper - if you want to put it out to competitive bidding,” the mayor said, asking the members of council for input. “We’ll get a better price by negotiating,” Councilman William Wickens replied. Mr. Wickens said his most ur gent concern is providing the town with adequate water flow and pressure to its fire hydrants. According to the preliminary plans developed by Mr. Fisher, the existing two-inch mains would be replaced with sixinch lines, as recommended by Roger Roach, chief of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. “I agree,” Evelyn Willis added. “If you talk to Roger, you'll get alarmed about the situation.” The concern about the hydrants, Mr. Wickens added, is not just fire fighting. “There are stories going around that we have lost our fire rating, and that nobody can get fire insurance.” Mr. Morehouse replied that the stories are not true. “We may not be able to step up our rating appreciably by just the water system - but the new piece of equipment the department got will go a long way toward improving our rating.” He added that he will push for a large increase in the town’s contribution to the fire department, to enable the department to qualify for matching grants through the Virginia Department of Fire Programs. Peter Skowronski added that he would like to see the project priced out street-by-street, so that it could be done in sections. There is an economy of scale, the mayor observed, by doing it all at one time. “But that depends on the availability of financing. It would be premature to phase the project now; we can divide it later if necessary.” Mr. Wickens moved that the council approve the project being sent to design specs, “without a specific dollar cap, but not unreasonable.” (Continued on Page 20) Budget balancing: Additions for landfill match subtractions from schools By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Last week, the supervisors cut $213,253 - or the equivalent of about nine cents on the real estate tax rate - from the school budget proposed for 1987-88. Squeezed around the table in the zoning administrator’s office this Monday night for a work session, they added most of that nine cents back, the bulk of it going for solid waste collection and disposal. I It’s an election year and the county’s draft budget leaves the board with a 33 percent tax increase, despite a draw of $464,228 from accumulated surplus. That’s enough to purse the lips and furrow the brow of the local officials who oversee county spending. But despite the unpalatable promise of a sharp rise in the current 58-cent tax rate, the mood at the work session was light. There was no tension and no argument as the supervisors reviewed different departmental requests, mak ing any reductions with an easily achieved consensus. “Tell me what you want to do, Mr. Chairman, and I’ll follow your lead,” announced Supervisor Newbill Miller. “I want to go home!” joked Hubert Gilkey. “I’ll second that,” Supervisor Nelson Lane added. “We have to finish this first, and finish it tonight. I don’t want to come back again,” Mr. Miller said. “Neither do I,” agreed Chairman Gilkey. “I’ll second that, too,” Mr. Lane chimed in. This era of good feeling carried through the budget review, as the board members compiled a list of questions for assistant John McCarthy to get answered. Most related to requested salary or personnel increases. “We’ll get the questions together now” for Mr. McCarthy to relay to department heads, Mr. Gilkey said. “They can come to the public hearing (on June 1) to justify what they’re asking for. Then we can make a better decision.” “Keep it open and above board. That’s the way to do it,” affirmed Supervisor Charles Estes. Invitations to speak at the public hearing will go out to the Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Welfare Department supervisor, VPI Extension Agent, sheriff and representative from the Electoral Board. Going over contemplated expenditures, the supervisors cut $47,500 from the appropriation for Board of Assessors and $1,500 from Forestry Services for the new radio requested by Forester Tippy Jenkins. “Last year was a giant step. We need to hold the line,” said Mr. Estes of the Fire and Rescue Association’s petition for $72,848, more than double the allocation of $29,407 for emergency services in 1986. In 1987, the board picked (Continued on Page 15) Chase announces for Senate seat William C. Chase Jr., chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors, was nominated Saturday as the Democratic candidate for the 26th District state senatorial seat. Mr. Chase will face Republican incumbent Kevin G. Miller Sr. in November’s election. Mr. Chase said that “in state government, I’d like to see agriculture represented more strongly. After being on a farm for 17 years, I feel I would represent agriculture better.” He added that he feels the main issue of the campaign will be Sen. Miller’s lack of responsiveness to the people. “I will represent all the counties in the district... I’d like to offer to the people of Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper and Fauquier counties the opportunity to become involved in planning. I don’t intend to exclude Rockingham and Page, but I would represent the entire district.” Another point he intends to address, Mr. Chase added, is Sen. Miller’s tendency to focus power on the state. He gave as an example the trailer bill, cosponsored by Sen. Miller, which attempted to remove the authority of individual counties to regulate the siting of trailers. The bill failed to pass the General Assembly. “I’d just like to see a different philosophical approach - to return power to the counties.” The Democratic candidate, Mr. Chase said in his acceptance speech, must be responsive to the people. “I feel a senator should be people-oriented, and that’s exactly what my life is all about; being oriented to all the people in the district. BILL CHASE “I will spend as much time as necessary in any location, in any county, at any time that is necessary, because, if I don’t have exposure, people aren’t going to vote for someone they don’t know. More important beyond that, if elected I promise I won’t withdraw to the farm to cut grass and forget who put me in office.” He added that when he looks at a map of the 26th District, he doesn’t see the mountains which separate the eastern and western counties of the district. Before the opening of the convention, held Saturday in Luray, Mr. Chase met with delegates from the county committees of Rockingham, Page, Rappahannock, Culpeper and the City of Harrisonburg. There were no (Continued on Page 15)

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ENGINE ONE, THE WASHINGTON Volunteer Fire Department’s newest piece of equipment. New engine will improve protection for Washington, says Company 1 “Wagon One is now in service.” With those words, the Washington Volunteer Fire Department recently added a new piece of equipment to its inventory: a 1969 American La France fire truck. It replaces the department’s aging 1946 Mack, which was taken out of service. The truck was purchased from a department in Plain view, New York, according to Roger Roach, chief of Company 1. Chief Roach said that the new truck, although 18 years old, “is very up to date and comparable to new equipment being purchased now.” It has several features not found on many other trucks in the area, he said, including a 1,500 gallon per minute water pump and a 5,000 watt generator. A deluge gun mounted on the deck is also capable of flowing 1,000 gallons per minute. The truck’s water tank holds 500 gallons of water. It is also equipped with a Stihl carbide-tipped rescue saw, capable of cutting through concrete or steel to gain access to buildings. Equipped with a diesel engine and automatic transmission, Chief Roach said that the truck is very easy to drive. Another plus, both in service and safety, is the jump seats behind thu cab. This allows firefighters to ride more safely than on the backboard. With two SurviveAir packs mounted on staunchions near the jumpseats, firefighters can don masks before reaching the fire ground, saving precious seconds, Chief Roach explained. “We’re very pleased with it,” he said. “It is definitely a great improvement, and will enable us to far better serve the residents of the Town of Washington and the surrounding area.” Chief Roach added that, although the department was financially able to pay for half the truck immediately, a $15,000 loan was necessary to finance the remainder. He thanked the community, on behalf of the department, for its support in the past, and said that he hopes the community Mill continue to assist the efforts of the department to upgrade its training and service both through expressions of support and financial contributions. EMC moves offices lhe Rappahannock- Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council (RREMSC) moved last weekend to the Culpeper County Volunteer Rescue Building, 121 North Main Street Extended, Suite A, on Route 229. The RREMSC left their offices in Mike’s Glass & Mirror Company on Route 15. Mike Willis has provided free office space these past seven years. When the lower floor of his building was flooded, he had the lower walls excavated and repaired. Another flood followed and rock strata under his building was deemed responsible. Mike Willis then moved the RREMSC upstairs to offices adjoining his business area. “Thanks to Mike Willis, the RREMSC has been able to coordinate and improve emergency medical services for the five counties in Planning District Nine,” said Leilani Stanley, EMS Training Coordinator. In their new offices Ms. Stanley said the RREMSC will have more storage space for their many kinds of training aids. The Annies and other training aids which were stored at Germanna Junior College, the Fauquier Hospital, and the Culpeper Memorial Hospital are now stored in the Council offices. This will improve scheduling training aids used in rescue squad classes. Additional training aids stored by the Council include MAST trousers, backboards, anatomical models, projectors, VCRs, TVs, and Fred, their adult skeleton. The life and the spirit of the American economy is progress and expansion. H.S.

McCarthy Administrative Assistant to the Board of Supervisors

Harrison begins job as building inspector Bill Harrison has taken up the duties of Rappahannock County's building inspector, succeeding Emiel -j v Smet, who resigned May 1. His parttime schedule: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, will follow Mr. Smet’s established schedule. Mr. Harrison comes to the position with experience as an industrial arts teacher at RCHS, as well as many years as a carpenter and woodworker. He said he defines the position as “exactly what the title implies ... I will concentrate on the inspection of construction work. The law is the law . . . but interpretation can vary between individuals. The way you handle it, go about it, you can do things diplomatically.” Before assuming his duties in Rappahannock County, Mr. Harrison spent some time working with Page County’s inspector Earl Hilliard, ias well as Mr. Smet, to become familiar with the state code. Mr. Harrison said that he has also already attended one state seminar (on inspection of carnival rides) and that “I intend to take every seminar offered to pick up as much knowledge as possible. lm glad to be working in the county,” he added. “I’ve always been in building and construction, and I love Rappahannock County. I’m here to serve the citizens, the supervisors, and to work with (Zoning Administrator) John McCarthy.” Mr. McCarthy said that he is “tremendously pleased” with the job Mr. Harrison is doing so far. “He’s working at it very diligently; far more than the terms of employment dictate. He’s been in on his days off, familiarizing himself with procedures . . . He’s demonstrated a familiarity with the code - quite often he knows the answer to a question right off, without looking it up.That’s quite a feat, given the voluminous codes which apply.” Mr. McCarthy said that the job was advertised for several weeks in a number of area newspapers, including the Rappahannock News, the Northern Virginia Daily, the Culpeper Star-Exponent and theCulpeper News, and The Fauquier Democrat. Mr. McCarthy said that Mr. Harrison was chosen for the $13,500 a year part-time position over three other applicants. He said that he had “quite a number” of telephone inquiries, but most declined to apply when informed of a stipulation adopted by the Board of Supervisors. The county's policy is that its 'Inspector cannot do contract work within the county, Mr. McCarthy TOUR MONEY cm TOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility: saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own.

All four applicants were interviewed by Mr. McCartly and the supervisors. “On balance,” Mr. McCarthy said, “Mr. Harrison was the best qualified.” Although Mr. Harrison does not presently hold a state certification as an inspector, Mr. McCarthy said the Commonwealth allows three years for inspectors to become certified. Mr. Harrison will be attending a seminar for new inspectors, probably in the fall. “None of the applicants,” Mr. McCarthy noted, “applied for the job with state certification in hand. That is why the state allows the threeyear period. “The position is such that stringent requirements must be met,” Mr. McCarthy added. “It requires experience in a supervisory capacity in architecture, engineering, teaching, contracting or some other phase of the building trades; or a combination of a degree and experience.” Mr. Harrison will be working out of the county’s Building and Zoning office, located on Main Street in Washington. Residents needing information about permits, codes and other building or zoning matters should call the office at 675-3342. Office hours are 8:30 to 4:30, Monday through Friday.

Garden Club plans show, receives state awards The members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club have spent the past several weeks cleaning up, remulching and expanding the beds and boxes around the Courthouse and several other buildings in Washington in anticipation of the club’s Flower Show and Walking Tour, set for Saturday, May 23. Among the new additions to Rappahannock’s “garden spot” are new window boxes for each of the buildings in the Courthouse complex, an oval flower bed and sundial in the lawn, and more junipers to surround the monument in front of the Commissioner of Revenue and Treasurer’s offices. All participants in the Flower Show are requested to bring their entries to the Trinity Church Parish Hall on Friday, between 3 and 6 p.m., or Saturday morning from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Judging will begin at 10 a.m. Although the hall will not be open to the public dining the judging, the public will be invited to view the entries beginning at 2 p.m. The walking tours will also begin at 2 and continue until 8 p.m. “All is now in readiness,” said The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Rosters for the two groups include some of Rappahannock’s finest musicians: Bill Abernathy, Linda Heimstra, Steve Lann and Mitch and Steve Hostetter in the Lost Beatniks and Julie Coon, Terry Waggener, Donald Gaskell, Dinah Pearson Day, Karen Hathaway, Jody Carbone and Vincent Day in The X Brand Band. The music will start at 8:30 and continue until 12:30. Admission is $5; sodas, juice, coffee and baked goods will be sold. All proceeds from the dance go to The Last Resort. This is the organization that grew out of the Jessie Waites Fund. The fund was initially set up to provide support for seven-year-old Jessie after she developed leukemia. Money from the fund met needs missed by the various social and medical services. It helped with household expenses when Jessie’s mother, a nurse at the Washington Hospital Center, used all her paid leave and vacation to stay with her daughter during the early, intensive treatments with radiation and chemo-therapy at Georgetown University Hospital. Then as Jessie’s illness responded to therapy and the little girl was able to resume more of a normal life, money from the fund went for school tuition and extras like a summer ballet camp. At present, Jessie remains in remission and her prognosis for a complete recovery is good. Jessie’s mother is on better financial footing and is now able to provide the extras herself. But there was money left in the Jessie Waites Fund. Where was it supposed to go? The people who organized the Jessie Waites Fund decided to continue the project with the aim of helping others whose needs cannot be completely met by the conventional welfare programs, service agencies and community groups. As the Last Resort, they plan: • to contribute to the Rappahannock County Social Services Department’s discretionary fund. • to offer a nurse’s aide training program this fall. With this training, Rappahannock people will meet Medicare requirements to provide home nursing care and with trained aides available, eligible Medicare patients who choose to do so will be able to stay here in their homes rather than enter a nursing home. • to explore the possibility of offering a continuing support program for chronically ill children and young adults and their families. Recently, Last Resort’s organizers met with a representative from Project Rainbow, which provides similar services, to learn how that program operates. Last Resort has an informal board of directors which now includes Cherry Vanneman, Arlene Frye, Barbara Coffee, Rev. Jenks Hobson, Rae Haase, Jane Mullin, Nancy Anderson, Marie Davis, Richard Abell and Daphne Hutchinson. Those with ideas on projects to meet community needs or an interest in helping should contact any of the people listed above or write Last Resort, P.O. Box 277, Washington, Va. 22747. And in the meantime, help be a Last Resort by coming to the Memorial weekend dance at the Washington Fire Hall this Saturday night. %i Recycle.

The week of May 18 to 25 encompasses the Memorial Day weekend, traditionally one of the heaviest traffic periods of the year. It marks, as well, All-American Buckle Up Week. Its focus will be the importance of protecting drivers and passengers through the use of seat belts. Virginia this year became one of the leaders in the nation by passing a mandatory seat belt law for front seat passengers. Unfortunately, citations can only be issued if the vehicle is stopped for some other motor law violation. But the use of seat belts should not have to be mandated by law. It makes sense. Despite the protestations of some who cite rare examples of people whose lives were saved by being thrown out of a vehicle during an accident, statistics show that - most of the time - being restrained by a seat belt lessens the severity of injuries received in an accident. Significantly, only one of the eleven people killed in traffic accidents during last year’s Memorial Day weekend was known to be wearing a seat belt (VSP statistics). Children are especially vulnerable in an accident, and should be restrained by a belt whether in the front or back seat. If they are too young for a belt, they should be strapped into a child safety seat. Government cannot mandate common sense, nor should it try. Seat belts have been prpven to save lives, and we urge our readers to use them. Don’t do it because it’s the law - do it because it might save your life. Memorial Day holiday Monday, May 25, will be ob" served as a holiday in honor of Memorial Day. County, state, federal and town offices, banks and savings institutions will be closed.

Warner ask s coordinated policy on atomic waste yescnmng n as "one ot the most serious challenges facing the nation,” Sen. John Warner (R-VA) recently introduced legislation to establish a coordinated federal policy to safely dispose of and store the nation’s high-level radioactive waste. “It is a fact that we have reached a critical point in our nation’s nuclear waste program,” said Sen. Warner in introducing the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Mission Plan Amendment Act of 1987. “Unless Congress takes positive action to give new direction to the Department of Energy, I believe we will create a threat to public safety.” Sen. Warner’s legislation embodies the Department of Energy’s decisions contained in the January 1987 Draft Amendment to the Mission Plan for the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program. Specifically, the legislation will: • Establish a realistic schedule to bring the first high-level radioactive repository and a monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facility into operation; • Revise the schedule for a second high-level repository to reflect the additional information that has become available since the program started; • Relieve the Secretary of Energy of the obligation to renew specific siting work on a second repository if he provides information to Congress supporting his decision. Sen. Warner said the effect of the legislation for Virginia would be that the Department of Energy would delay conducting further evaluation of a second waste repository site untO the mid to late 1990s. “At that time, the Secretary of Energy can continue to postpone the search for a second °'te if there is no need for one. Without this legis- i lation, the Department will renew , the search for a second site where it < left off before the May 28, 1986, < postponement,” he added. In other comments, Sen. Warner said that the Monitored Retrievable Storage facility remains a key element in an effective waste management program. “Although the operation of the first repository is stretched out until the year 2003, the Monitored Retrievable Storage would fulfill DOE’s commitment to accept nuclear waste by 1998. To ensure that the MRS does not serve as a substitute for a permanent repository, there will be a 15,000 metric ton limit on the storage capacity of the MRS,” he said. In a ruling last week, the Supreme Court ended a dispute that prevented DOE from transmitting its site recommendation for the MRS to Congress. The Department has now recommended that the MRS facility be constructed at the former Clinch River Breeder Reactor site near Oak Ridge, Tenn. “As a result of this ruling, it is time that we move forward with this facility to meet the 1998 deadlines for the federal government to store waste. This Draft Amendment to the Mission Plan will enable DOE to move forward in a responsible manner with implementing the provisions for a repository and an MRS consistent with the Nuclear Waste Policy Act,” said Sen. Warner. In a related matter, Sen. Warner announced that in response to his request for a hearing, the Subcommittee on Nuclear Regulation will hold a hearing April 23 at 9:30 a.m. in Room 406, Dirksen Senate Office Building, on the nuclear waste repository program. Among those testifying will be Energy Secretary John S. Herrington. Sen. Warner, a member of the lubcommittee, urged Chairman ohn Breaux to hold a hearing' because of the “tremendous confusion >ver the direction of the program.” Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News phoKVCindy Mahan SCATTERED CLOUDS CREATE an ethereal glow as the sun sets over a farm pond outside Flint Hill. k Letters to the editor Rappahannock County: Yesterday and today lo the editor: People everywhere often talk about “change.” Change affects everybody. People who were born and raised in Rappahannock County, as I was, might reflect on what changes have taken place. Rappahannock heritage has a lot to be proud of. Living and working here in Rappahannock County during the 40s, 60s, 60s, 70s and 80s has been a real joy to many of us. Outsiders continue to move to Rappahannock County, many bringing change and many blending in. Some new residents are well liked, decent members of the community, while some others come in here and try to tell us how to run things. Some have good ideas and some exploit our county ways. Many “county people” like myself, a farmer, don’t bother anybody, yet don’t have time to take an active role in county politics. An expansive article was placed in the paper about me last week. People who like me know the truth about me and those who don’t no doubt eiyoyed the article. I’m not out to win a popularity contest. I know who my friends are and I know right from wrong. Here is a situation where my father and forefathers have taught me how to live by the United States Constitution. The Second Amendment reads “The right of the people to keep, and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Every student in this county can open their political science textbooks and learn this. But what does it all mean? That’s a good question. The article misquoted the individual involved with me. The man involved was Netus Dodson, son of the late John Dodson, not Nathaniel Dodson. Fact: The dispute started when Netus Dodson told me my fence was going to be tom down, steel pegs put in my alfalfa field and the road widened all on my property and against my will and consent. He blocked the road and refused to move off the rightof-way between my property and the property of my sister. Regardless of who is trying to wrongfully encroach upon another man’s land, it’s a matter of principle. I wonder how many landowners in this county would stand by and tolerate such foolishness? Not this country boy. I try to get along with everybody and I don’t bother anyone, but I’ve learned at an early age to protect one’s property is a right bigger than any one individual person. * protected my property and no one was hurt, yet I was found guilty of two misdemeanors in court on May 12. I will state with full belief that any time anyone thinks they are bigger than the Constitution of the United States and our forefathers who wrote it, something is very seriously wrong. Maybe some may think that now because of the decision of one man, namely Judge Charles Foley, I am an outlaw. Well maybe I am an outlaw and will continue to be one if it means upholding the Second Amendment of our Constitution written in 1791 and still law in 1987. Judge Foley thinks he’s higher and better than our forefathers before us. I believe the truth of the matter is, by his own admission, I was judged on the basis of another right-of-way case, namely that of Diane Kidwell. The outcome of that right-ofway case was lenient; therefore mine was set to be harsh as an example. To quote Judge Foley: “The court is concerned that Rappahannock County is. becoming fampui t - or infamous*'* fbr itS’Y^t-df^ * \ way disputes.” Let my.case be ■ judged on its own merits alone. Don’t compare a murder case to my case where no one was hurt. Judge Foley as a brand new judge on the bench has a desire to impress the rest of the legal community as a judge to be feared and respected. Are such politics justice? I say no. A man may live in harmony with his fellowman and protect his property in this county at the same time and if that’s being an outlaw, I guess I am one - but I will say one thing - I am not a thief - take it for what it’s worth. WILLIAM T. WAYLAND Sperryville No ‘duffer’ To the editor: I’m writing this letter in response to a “happy ad” accepted by you and published in the May 14 issue, regarding my golf score. In the first place the paper should not accept such anonymous articles which are libelous. Note the word “duffer”. If the commentary is published at all it should be on the sports page or as a news item regarding a prominent public figure. The word “duffer” however is inappropriate in any presentation. I know who placed the ad and would remark that any golfer who feels superior with a 97 and pays for an advertisement to gloat over it should probably be happier telling Irish jokes for a living. As soon as I can find an attorney that I can trust (i.e., beat playing golf), I intend to sue the paper and the “97 twit.” WALTER DAY Washington Thanks from Seniors To the editor: I thank all those who pledged their support during my participation in the Fodderstack Race. The proceeds will support a much needed outing for the Rappahannock Senior Nutrition Site. SANDRA PARKER Amiss ville J Letters Letters to the editor on public issues are welcome. They must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number to be considered for publication. If possible, they should be typed and double-spaced. The best letters are concise. Virginia’s State Parks: our ‘common wealth’ f rom the unspoiled beaches of False Cape, to a bluff overlooking the Potomac at Westmoreland, to the mile-high Appalachian mountain peaks in Grayson Highlands, to the forest trails at Douthat, Virginia’s State Parks are truly the common wealth of all its residents. Along with the natural beauty enshrined for all generations, the park system also preserves Virginia’s historic legacy as well. Chippokes Plantation, George Washington’s Grist Mill and the Shot Tower Historical Park all celebrate the events which helped shape our state today. From one end of Virginia to the other, the state parks offer something for everyone: camping, hiking, boating, fishing, vacation cabins, swimming, picnicking and much more. Whether you visit for an afternoon or a week, there’s a state park within an hour of any point in Virginia. Two anniversaries being celebrated in 1987 bring with them special attention to several state parks. The bicentennial of the Constitution has created heightened interest in the lives of James Madison and the other founders of our country. George Washington’s Grist Mill is located just three miles from Mount Vernon, a short drive from Washington, D. C. It offers a fascinating look at a little-known side of the Father of our Country. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the completion of the Appalachian Trail. More than onequarter of this, one of the longest marked trails in the world, lies within the state of Virginia. And two of its most popular access points lie at opposite ends of the Commonwealth, separated by 540 miles of trail. Historic Sky Meadows State Park is located in Fauquier County’s rolling hors* and cattle country, where the farms of the Piedmont meet the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Mt. Bleak Farmhouse, which serves as the park’s visitor center, was the home of one of Col. John Mosby*s raiders. The park is a blend of history, scenic beauty, and Northern Virginia’s only public access to the Appalachian Trail. On Saturday, May 23, the Mt. Bleak Farmhouse will serve as the backdrop for a festival cele brating country arts and crafts. Homestyle cooking and country music will round out the offerings at this event. Within sight of Mt. Rogers, Virginia’s highest mountain, and with peaks of its own reaching a mile above sea level, Grayson Highlands possesses spectacular scenic beauty no matter what the season. The park’s Cabin and Willow Creeks are not stocked, but support populations of native brook and rainbow trout. Fishing is allowed in both creeks. Grayson Highlands Park also has stables and a network of trails for horse-camping and trail-riding. The Appalachian Trail also passes through the park, allowing hikers a chance to enjoy the luxury of a hot shower while staying at the park campground or stocking up on provisions at the camp store. Among the exhibits at the park’s visitor center is a display relating the customs and lifestyle of the early mountain settlers. At any time of the year, visitors to Virginia’s state parks will discover a wide variety of outdoor activities, several of the state’s most interesting historical areas and some of the most spectacular scenery in the Commonwealth. Each year, thousands of campers spend time in one of the 17 state parks with campgrounds. Most offer shaded sites with bathhouse facilities, including hot showers, nearby. Walk-in primitive sites are available near the Appalachian Trail at Sky Meadows and at False Cape State Park, one of the East Coast’s only undisturbed beach and dune areas. And in eight parks from the mountains to the shore, visitors can spend the night in comfort in newly renovated vacation cabins. These cabins feature kitchenettes fully equipped with utensils, modem bathrooms with towels, fireplaces, upholstered furniture, linens and peace and quiet in natural surroundings. Reservations for all overnight ac- * commodations, with the exception of walk-in primitive sites and overnight cabins at Westmoreland, can be made through Ticketron terminals at most Virignia state parks and at Ticketron locations nationwide. Camp sites can be reserved 90 days (Continued on Page 11)

Despite gains, women still lag in economy Hie position of women in the American economy has improved over the last decade, but not nearly so much as forecasters in the 1970s believed, according to Dr. Andrew I. Kohen, professor of economics at James Madison University. "Statistics show that women are now earning 69 percent of what men are earning, and I believe that is a slight overestimate,” Dr. Kohen said. “It represents rather minimal progress in the direction of equality. The ratio was about 64-65 percent in the early 70s.” While there has been change in the kinds of jobs that American women hold, Dr. Kohen reported, “We still have a tremendous degree of segregation by sex in occupations.” Figures indicate that half of the professionals are women, he said, “but that is rather a deceptive statistic. Women are very high in the traditional categories of teaching and nursing, representing nearly three out of five of all professionals in this country.” Women in the health care professions are over-represented in nursing and technical occupations, Dr. Kohen said. Although women have progressed in the fields of law and accounting, the professor noted that only 18 percent of the lawyers are women but women comprise 45 percent of the labor force. Little progress has been achieved in the fields of engineering and natural science, according to Dr. Kohen. “Only six percent of engineers in this country are women, and that figure has been constant for a long time. In natural science, the ratio is one out of five.” Even in new sectors, women have found unequal opportunity, Dr. Kohen said. “In the hot new field of computer science, it was predicted that sex discrimination would not be so great. Still in this arena there is a considerable differentiation in the kind of jobs that women and men get. The difference is not so extreme, but it is evident. Society is a long way from being gender neutral.” And women continue to receive less pay than men. "Greater equality of the sexes by occupation is evident,” Dr. Kohen said, “but it doesn’t manifest itself in the earning positions of women compared to men.” He noted that women have traditionally found employment in the service sector. "It is not coincidental that these jobs are lower paid.” Women have experienced less unemployment than men in recent years, he said. "Women in the ’60s and 70s were unemployed at higher rates than men. In 1986 unemployment was minisculely lower for women than for men. But that is a product of the changing character of the American economy. Severe unemployment has been primarily in the men’s traditional fields such as the auto and steel industries.” While affirmative action legislation and favorable judicial decisions have helped to improve the position of women in the economy, the educational system must play a positive role, according to Dr. Kohen. "The system has long tracked women away from male-dominated jobs. Women have been discouraged in the sciences and mathematics from their junior high school days. Recently educators have begun to encourage gender neutrality and recognize that they have a moral obligation to teach students without discrimination.” Dr. Kohen is concerned that interest in the subject of women’s equality has waned since the 70s although many problems have not been resolved. In his classes, he finds a disturbing attitude. “Proportionately more students believe that discrimination by gender and race is only a historical phenomenon. They think that equality for women has been achieved, that the women’s movement has had its impact and all is right with the world.” "Women should know that they are going to encounter both prejudice and discrimination on entering the labor market. And men should understand that their spouses may not achieve because of discriminatory practices.” Centel lowers phone rates Central Telephone Company of Virginia (Centel) is voluntarily decreasing its basic telephone access line rates and zone mileage charges approximately five percent, effective May 1. William P. Flippo III, Centers area manager in Front Royal, said the rate reduction will result in lower telephone bills for all Centel customers, with individual savings varying from exchange to exchange. The total annual reduction will amount to about $1.8 million. In making the voluntary reduction in access line rates and zone mileage charges, Centel is cooperating with the State Corporation Commission (SCC), which earlier asked Virginia telephone companies to consider reducing rates to reflect the expected positive impact on earnings of lower federal tax rates that take effect in July. “Since the Tax Reform Act of 1986 is reducing the taxes paid by utility companies, Centel believes it’s only fair for our rate payers to receive a benefit from that reduction,” Mr. Flippo said. In the Washington exchange, one-party, residential customers will see their access line rates decreased from $9.16 to $8.70, a reduction of 46 cents a month. And all customers who are subject to zone mileage charges (those located outside the base rate area ol their exchange) will realize additu> nal savings of as much as 35 cents« month depending upon their loca tion.

How best can we honor them? Certainly, it is important to hold ceremonies, to place flowers on the graves of those near and dear to us. These are public displays of private grief. There is another way that we can honor these great men and women, however. That is in upholding the principles that they gave “the last full measure” to defend. Study the constitution—here we find the principles upon which this nation was founded. Then make every effort to live by these principles.

A killer: High blood pressure May is National High Blood Pressure Month. Free blood pressure checks will be sponsored by Fauquier Hospital on Thursday, May 21 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and in the evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the lobby. On Friday, May 22 the checks will be held from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Also offered free of charge will be a special program on high blood pressure by Dr. William Bixenman at Fauquier Hospital Educational Center. This seminar will be held on Tuesday, May 26 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The purpose of Dr. Bixenman’s presentation is to educate those who may be at risk, because uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes and atherosclerosis. Hypertension can exist for years without symptoms and most cases arise for no known reason. But certain factors including family history increase statistical risk. Children with one or more hypertensive parent have a higher risk than those with no high blood pressure in the family. Age is a factor. High blood pressure often develops in the 30’s and 40’s, but it becomes more prevalent with age. Many elderly people develop some degree of hypertension. Race: Hypertension is generally more common in blacks than in whites. The reason is unknown; speculation centers on the role of diet and socioeconomic factors. Salt consumption: Some people seem genetically susceptible to the effects of sodium in the blood vessels. Since it’s difficult to screen for salt sensitivity, it makes sense for everyone to moderate salt intake. Obesity: Being overweight increases risk of high blood pressure and several other diseases. To compound the problem, salt intake is often higher in obese people, due simply to eating more food. Alcohol: Heavy drinking can elevate pressure in the arteries. People with hypertension should have no more than one or two drinks a day. The Pill: Oral contraceptives cause slight blood pressure rises in many women. In women over 35, the combination of smoking and the Pill may be especially dangerous. Cigarette smoking: Smoking a cigarette temporarily elevates blood pressure; it also makes the heart work harder. While there’s no direct link to hypertension, smoking is a risk factor for heart disease. Diabetes and kidney disease: Both of these conditions make the development of high blood> pressure more likely. Chronic stress: Increased heart rate and a temporary rise in blood pressure are typical reactions to psychological stress. It has been postulated that prolonged stress can lead to hypertension.

Rhubarb: An edible sign of spring By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension A**nt Just as regularly as we see the tulip® and daffodils each spring, we fresh rhubard dressed in pink ribbing and chartreuse frills or large green leaves. Scientifically, rhubarb i® classified as a vegetable but is treated as a fruit since its principal use is in pies, tarts and compotes. It wasn’t until the 1800s that rhubarb began to be used in baking and became known as the “pie plant.” Rhubarb was grown in early times in New England and other colder areas such as Washington, Michigan, New York, Oregan and California. Today, Utica, Michigan, calls itself the “Rhubarb Capital of the World.” Over the years the delightful dish has not received the national promotion as has other foods. Many of the early recipes that were used in New England had very picturesque names like “roly poly,” “slump,” and “grunt.” Although tart to the point of being sour, it is often used with citrus flavors or other fruits such as apples and strawberries. It requires quite a bit of sugar - about 2/3 cup to a pound of dried fruit (individual tastes will vary). It can be sweetened with almost any kind of sugar. Some cooks use honey, brown sugar, or maple sugar. Artificial or low-calorie substitutes are best used in combination with natural sweeteners. Since raw rhubarb is almost 95 percent water, it frequently helps to add several teaspoons of tapioca over the bottom crust to absorb the excess water. Should the rhubarb skin be stringy, it must be peeled. A few drops of food coloring may be added to achieve the desired color. Bananas with Ruby Sauce is not only eye-appealing, but tasty. Need a change in tea? Why not try Rhubarb Tea served hot or cold? Rhubarb Sauce is one of the easiest ways to cook and serve rhubarb. Rhubarb roly-poly 2 cups flour, sifted 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt or to taste 2T. sugar 4 T. cold butter, cut in pieces, or solid, white vegetable shortening 3/4 cup milk 2 cups rhubarb, in 1/2 inch dice 21/2 T. butter 1 cup sugar Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter or shortening. Add milk to make a soft dough. Knead about 10 times on a lightly floured board, shape into a rectangle and roll to 1/8-inch thick. Spread rhubarb evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch margin all around. Dot generously with butter, sprinkle with sugar and roll up like a jelly roll, tucking in the edges of dough on each side and on the ends. Place seam side down on flat baking sheet with a rim and bake for 40 News around Sperryvdle Mr. and Mrs. Charles A.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life ASCS reports due by June 1 The Rappahannock County office of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service reminds farmers that the last day to report wheat, barley or oats planted on the farm is June 1. Land set aside for acreage conservation reserve (ACR) must also be designated by June 1 if the farmer plans to participate in that program for 1987. Farmers who have a base for those crops but who have none planted must file a “Zero” report. Acreage reports are being taken on a field-by-field basis for the entire farm. Corn, sorghum and soybeans should also be reported to the ASCS office as soon as planting is complete. Remember, ASCS agent Linda Henry stressed, “stop by the ASCS office on Gay Street in Washington and report your small grains no later than June 1.” PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN.

The original idea when they bought the old house on Main Street in Sperryville, Cheri explained, was that it was large enough to live in the back and have a small shop in the front. Their son Adam was about five at the time, and Cheri was looking for a business which would allow her to stay at home with him. Now, their mail order catalog business allows everyone else to stay at home and shop, but the business has grown so big that they no longer live in the back of their store. And, it has expanded into areas other than their living space. Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques has become The Faith Mountain Company, with a new logo to accompany the new name. “It’s more than just herbs and antiques now,” Cheri said, “although we continue to sell those items.” The business is much more diversified now, Martin added. With the recent addition of women’s fashions to Faith Mountain’s catalog offering, Martin explained that “we’re selling a lifestyle rather that specific products. Women dress to portray an image - we’re trying to sell that.” Ordering from the catalog, he said, “you can accessorize your entire house, your garden, and your body.” Cheri said that when she thinks back to that first year, “it was pretty small. All total we had maybe 10 fiats of herbs, about 500 plants. Now we have almost that many varieties.” In addition to the herbs, Martin said, Faith Mountain also stocks FBDQD1ER LIVESTOCK SSCHmS _INCORpQftATpl«P^ Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATEiGRADK FAT CATTLE 1'sCTu©s^^^T%^ry,Month 1 Mile East Of Marshall Rt. 55 364-1566 some unusual vegetable varieties which the home gardener might find difficult to obtain. But, Cheri added, they have no plans to start growing their own herbs from scratch. “I take great pride in display,” she said, “but it can take two hours to groom and water the plants each day. It would be just too much.” “We have always stressed quality,” Martin said. “It’s not just a volume business. Our customers appreciate something special. We sell the whole service: we offer more than plants. They can get advice, Cheri can identify herbs, she has helped design herb gardens.” And, by walking in Faith Mountain’s herb garden, or seeing the shop’s wreaths, customers can see the end result of the seedling herb or everlasting flower which they buy, he pointed out. One of the crossroads in Faith Mountain’s 10 years came when Interstate 66 opened, Martin said. “That meant the nature of the highway business changed.” The people on long vacation drives no longer drove Rt. 211 across the mountains to Luray, stopping in Sperryville for a rest before climbing the mountain. “That’s when we decided to devote a lot of effort to promoting Sperryville as an end in itself - a place to come for a day or a weekend. ” “At the same time,” Cheri added, “the catalog business meant that we could reach people in their homes. We no longer have to rely on them to find Sperryville.” The promotion has had a bonus, Martin said. “Since we’ve been trying to aggressively promote mail order and Sperryville, the business is up quite a bit in the store,” although it still represents only about 20 percent of the company’s business. And, the results of the promotion ean be seen on Main Street in Sperryville..

Martin, a former masonry contractor, sold that business to become Faith Mountain’s catalog director when the mail order part of the business began in 1982. Faith Mountain’s first 16 page catalog; 500 copies run off on a friend’s Xerox machine, has become a 32-page, full Color magazine quality offering with one million circulation world-wide. This year, the quarterly catalog will offer, for the first time anywhere, Cheri said, everlasting flower arrangements and wreaths custom-ordered, by mail or phone, to fit any space or color scheme. Color chips or swatches sent to the store will be matched for each customer’s specific desires. “We’re trying to personalize the direct-mail experience,” Martin explained. “That has always been one of its big drawbacks. People love the convenience, but they don’t like the impersonal nature of it.” He said the response to the offering of personalized service has been good. Did Martin and Cheri have any idea what the first 10 years would hrino'? “We had no idea,” Cheri said. “There have been phenomenal changes as we approach 10 years.” Martin said that, by August, a new computer system to speed the catalog business and expedite the paperwork will be in place, just in time for the Christmas rush. And what do they see in Faith Mountain’s future? “We’re trying to plan ahead more,” Martin said. on the immediate problems. We’re trying to grab hold of the future, to push, to mold the business into specific areas where it is strong.” Among their “irons in the fire” is an expanded warehouse. The present warehouse on Main Street is rapidly reaching capacity, and they’re looking for more space. Nothing has been found as yet. “The business is still *in process,”’ Cheri concluded. “We’re not ready to retire - there are still a lot more things we want to do.” Conservation workshop May 30 A conservation leadership workshop, sponsored by the Blue Ridge Foundation, will be held on Saturday, May 30 at the Bluemont School House, Bluemont, in western Loudoun County. It will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. The workshop is designed to help the individual with new techniques for improving confidence as leaders and organization members. By the end of the workshop, said a spokesman, participants will know more about the process of leadership and themselves. In addition, they will explore methods for communication, management, motivating volunteers, fundraising and other activities. It will be led by Ed Clark, a key figure in the conservation movement in Virginia. He is president and cofounder of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, and the first professional conservationist appointed to the Virginia Council on the Environment. The cost of the workshop will be $10 for Blue Ridge Foundation members, $15 for non-members. Lunch is included. Since the class size is limited, pre-registration is required.

When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility; saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own.

Fertilizer unlikely to improve fish yield ureener lawns, healthier house plants and better yields from gardens and farms all occur when we fertilize. Dairy and beef production is higher, too, because the benefit of fertilizing pastures is passed on from the plants to the livestock. Can you expect similar benefits in increased fish production by adding fertilizer to farm ponds? Probably not. In theory, adding fertilizer directly into pond water does the following: • It stimulates the growth of microscopic water plants (phytoplanton). • It promotes the growth of small aquatic invertebrates (zooplankton and insects) that feed on phytoplankton. • It improves the growth of sportfish which feed on the invertebrates. In practice, however, this idealized “biological chain reaction” of fertilizer to phytoplankton to insects to fish seldom works. Remember that fertilization of soils is only one of many things that farmers do to enhance crops. In addition to fertilization, we also protect cultivated land from nuisance weeds, destructive insects and other pests. To insure maximum yields, these systems are intensively managed, but fish ponds are not. In the absence of intensive management, fertilization of fish ponds is not usually a good idea. Some of the major objections to the use of fertilizers in fish ponds are: • Instead of promoting the growth of desirable plant life (phytoplankton), the added fertilizer is much more likely to stimulate the growth of nuisance waterweeds and filamentous algae that are not used as food by insects or fish. • The addition of fertilizer is usually unnecessary and quite expensive. • Most pond owners, even when properly instructed, apply fertilizer in a haphazard manner. • The results are unpredictable, frequently undesirable and, at times, dangerous to aquatic life. Thus, fertilizing a fish pond frequently creates more problems than it does pounds of sportfish. Most farm ponds are naturally fertile. Even in the southeastern United States, where pond waters are generally considered nutrientpoor, recent studies have shown that open-pasture ponds receive adequate amounts of nutrients through % runoff to siipport^good sportfish populations. . Most studies suggest that fertilization rates should be greatly reduced or better yet, omitted entirely. The need for fertilizing a pond should be established by tests of soil and water fertility, rather than the casual assumption that all fish ponds need to be fertilized. Haphazard or excessive fertilization of pond waters encourages nuisance growth of algae and water weeds that seriously interfere with the use and enjoyment of recreational ponds. In overfertilized ponds, dense growths of waterweeds can restrict swimming, boating, fishing, and other water sports. Moreover, dead and drying waterweeds impart unpleasant taste to sportfish, emit offensive Odors, reduce water clarity, and clog irrigation and livestock watering systems. Fertilization of farm ponds also increases the risks of “summerkiir or “winterkill” of sport fish. During extended periods of calm, cloudy weather or snow-covered ice, decomposing weeds may consume all of the available dissolved oxygen, causing fish to suffocate. Because sport fish are the most sensitive to lowered oxygen levels, they will be affected before undesirable species such as carp. Dense weedbeds that restrict water movement and reduce aeration result in warmer water and further reduce oxygen supplies in the pond waters. Fish stressed by these conditions are most susceptible to disease and parasite infections. Probably the biggest single myth about fish ponds is that small fish are the result of “unproductive” pond waters. Fisheries managers know that the sizes of fish in a pond are determined by the ratio of predatory fish to prey fish - what is called “balance.” Good growth of sport fish depends on the presence of large predators which reduce the abundance of small fish, leaving more food for the survivors. Without predators, fertilization will produce only more small fish competing with one another for food, preventing them from ever growing to a desirable size for fishing and eating. To make matters worse, the weedbeds produced by fertilization provide refiige for small fish so that fish like largemouth bass cannot prey effectively. Thus, neither the small prey fish nor large predatory fish will grow well in weedy ponds. In the past, popular articles on fish pond fertilization have tended to oversimplify the proper procedures, overlook the unnecessary costs involved, misrepresent the results to be expected and neglect to discuss the problems created by over-fertilization. In reality, a successful fertilization program is likely to be much more complicated than pond owners imagine. uepenaing on tne water quality of the individual pond, up to ten applications may be required each year for a period of one to five years. Both the rates and the timing of the treatments are strongly influenced by local environmental conditions and will vary considerably between seasons and through the years depending on the physical factors (surface area, depth, temperature, light, water clarity, rainfall), chemical factors (ph, dissolved oxygen, hardness, alkalinity, nutrient concentrations), and biological factors (kinds and amounts of algae, rooted weeds, fish and other aquatic life forms). Because each pond is a unique complete ecosystem, the results of fertilization are largely unpredictable even under the best circumstances. Claims that pond owners can cheaply produce up to ten times as many sport fish by simply adding a bit of fertilizer are completely misleading. The potential benefits of fish pond fertilization have been enthusiastically over-rated, while the costs, complexities, and real dangers are often suppressed in the popular literature. Our best advice is to keep fertilizers on agricultural lands and out of pond water. Looking for a bargain? Check the classifieds in )t fcappatjannocfe iietog. Photo courtesy of Lt.

Visa and Mastercard are accepted for reservations made at state park locations. Virginia state parks are more than just campgrounds and cabins, however. Swimming has long been a favorite recreational activity, and it’s available at some state parks. Watch the sailboats and water skiers from the beach on a peaceful cove at Claytor Lake State Park, or epjoy the tranquility of the 50-acre Bear Creek Lake from the park’s sandy beach or the patio of the hillside concession area. In all, there are seven state parks with swimming facilities, with the eighth under construction and expected to be ready for the 1988 season at Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Getting into the swim of things is possible at Chippokes, Natural Tunnel, Pocahontas, Staunton River or Westmoreland State Parks. Both pools and beaches have concession facilities and modem bath houses. Fishing is another popular sport, and the fish always seem to be biting in the state’s parks. Boat ramps at Claytor Lake, Smith Mountain Lake and Lake Anna State Parks, plus tw'o parks on Buggs Island Lake, Occoneechee and Staunton River, offer access to the Commonwealth’s largest freshwater lakes. State park ramps also allow access to the Potomac River from Westmoreland State Park, the York River from Croaker Landing in York River State Park and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay from Seashore State Park in Virginia Beach. And the fishing opportunities are not limited to the state’s natural lakes. Several smaller, man-made lakes, stocked regularly by the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, also lure anglers. Last May, the largest pike caught in Virginia (24 lbs., 6 oz.) was caught at Hungry Mother State Park. But visits to Virginia’s state parks need be nothing more than a picnic with the family or a hike in the woods. Most state parks have picnic areas; there are 39 picnic shelters which are available by reservation. More than 240 miles of hiking trails range from mountain paths to trails through the beachside dunes. During the summer months, a visit to a state park can be an education as well. Guided nature walks, children’s programs and evening programs are just a few of the opportunities. From June through September, eagle tours are offered daily at Caledon Natural Area in King George County, allowing a limited number of participants the opportunity to view an American Bald Eagle in the wild. Savings with seasonal passes Many visitors to Virginia state parks come back again and again, and for them a seasonal pass can represent both a considerable financial saving and an incentive to enjoy the parks frequently. It’s a particularly good value for residents in areas near a park. With the pass, the more you use it, the more you save. The Off-Season Family Camping Pass offers, for $25, unlimited camping during the less-crowded spring and fall camping seasons. The pass is good at all state parks with camp sites except Seashore State Park in Virginia Beach. A 14-day limit per visit is still enforced. The $15 annual parking pass is good for unlimited visits to all state parks, around the bend or across the state. These permits can be purchased for cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles and other motorized road vehicles. The seasonal boat launching/parking permit allows boaters a season of low-cost access to boatlaunching ramps at Lake Anna, Smith Mountain Lake, Westmoreland (Potomac River), Seashore (Chesapeake Bay/Atlantic Ocean), York River, Occoneechee (Buggs Island Lake), and Staunton River State Parks for only $30. A seasonal swimming pass will make the state parks’ seven swimming beaches and five swimming pools a cool bet for the hot summer. Golden Age Passports are available free of charge to all Virginia residents 62 or older. They entitle the bearer free entry to any state park which normally charges an admission or parking fee. Golden Age Passports may be obtained by applying in person at any Virginia State Park or at the Division of Parks and , Recreation Office in Richmond.

Sport Small bugs - big danger Most of us, at one time or another, have suffered the indignities of an insect bite. Let’s look at some of these outdoors pests of the warm months. If I had to pick my favorite pest, it would have to be the mosquito. Even in the fall after several hard frosts, on a halfway mild day, out come the mosquitoes. With vampire-like feeding habits, the female mosquito finds her victim by body odor, good or bad. Even perfume and deodorant odors help her locate her dinner. Being nearly twice the size of the male mosquito, she is equipped with a hypodermic-like proboscis that injects a powerful anti-clotting fluid just under the skin. The resulting flow of blood is a feast for the mosquito. Both the wound, though tiny, and the anticlotting fluids she injected cause the itch and discomfort. Many people are allergic to the bite, and most of us would prefer not to be bitten. Ticks are notorious disease bearing hosts, and can transmit these diseases by their bite or by their stomach contents. When attached ticks are removed by force, it is possible to force their stomach contents into the bitten area. These stomach contents are mostly the semi-clotted blood of this victim and perhaps one or more other victims. The blood of the other victims could contain any number of disease organisms including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, encephalitis, yellow fever, and even rabies. The newest information is that ticks can cause paralysis just by biting, before starting to draw blood or transmitting any of the germs it carries. The biting beak of the tick is a toxic substance to the victim, and if a person is subject to toxic shock, paralysis or even death can occur. The newest disease discovered that ticks can transmit is called Lyme disease. It is thought to be a new strain of virus that can cause high fever, muscle cramps, onset of arthritis, and partial, temporary paralysis. Several deaths occur each year from Lyme disease and several Outdoors Bob McMeans 439-8364 more from Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The best way to avoid being bitten by ticks is to use plenty of insect repellent, check frequently for crawling ticks and remove any you find. If a tick does bite and attach itself to your skin, don’t forceably remove the tick, as you may break off the beak and face a festering sore and fiirther risk of contamination by the blood already in the tick and on its beak. The tick may be removed by dropping gasoline, kerosene, or chloroform on them. They will loosen their hold and come out easily. Wasps, hornets, bees, and yellow jackets are a source of much misery to the outdoors user. Anyone who accidentally (and I don’t believe anyone would do it on purpose) disturbs a nest of hornets, yellow jackets, or even paper wasps, could receive enough stings to suffer heart damage or even death. Each person’s sensitivity to stings changes day by day, some becoming less severe, some becoming more severe. Simply put, the stings you have had in the past are not representative of the way you will react to even one sting in the future. For those of us who are allergic to stings, we must take extra caution not to be stung, and know what is necessary in the case of a sting. If you are allergic, sound medical advice and proper preparation are necessary before going afield.

Sociology class holds mock wedding By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock New* Special Writer Last week, the Sociology class at RCHS got experience at something most people don’t get a chance to practice: a wedding. The mock wedding exercise was designed to help the students become more familiar with the procedures involved in planning a wedding, its format, and the costs involved. Teacher Deb Mills required the students to research every aspect of the wedding, including all the reservations required. After acquiring information about the availability and costs of the various items and services, the students assumed the roles of min ister, bride, groom, best man, maid and matron of honor, mistress of ceremonies, bridesmaids and guests. The couple was joined in matrimony, the bride threw her bouquet, the guests threw rice, they were entertained at the reception, and then left on a romantic honeymoon to their third period classes. Updike honored as Eagle Scout Lee John Updike, son of Mr. and lire. Glenn Updike of Newsoms, Va. and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Updike of Washington, received the Eagle Scout award, scouting’s highest honor, at a Court of Honor held at Barnes United Methodist Church recently. A reception for about 12$ family and friends folT&Afertf E. Rook Sr. served hs Inkster of ceremonies and presented the Eagle hedge. Candidate recognitions were given by his scoutmaster, school headmaster, Sunday school teacher and 4-H agent. “The Voice of the Eagle” was given by Honor Guard members Bernard Rook Jr. and Chip Talley, who along with Updike make up the Leadership Corps of Troop 211 in Courtland. Congratulatory messages were presented from the Newsoms Masonic Lodge and the Grand Lodge of Virginia, The National Office, Boy Scouts of America, Three Rivers District, Old Dominion Area Councils Senattor Richard- Holland, arid Go#fe+ftor Gerald BalileS. ... For his £agle Scout Service Project Updike and his fellow scouts cleaned the yard and interior of the Rochelle-Prince House, one of the older homes in Courtland, currently being restored by the Southampton County Historical Society, for a total of 70-man hours.

This year’s session will observe both the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution and the first Virginia House of Burgesses. Mr. Holschuh, who retired from the Navy to Rappahannock County 15 years ago, is an active volunteer with Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. He has served as a member of the organization’s board of directors, and has been the volunteer editor of The Voice of Experience, its bi-monthly newsletter, for six years. He also serves as a member of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). In addition, Mr. Holschuh is an active member of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, serving as Trustee, Deacon, Treasurer and Sunday School teacher. The Silver-Haired Legislature will meet as a unicameral body, work in committees modeled after the Virginia General Assembly, and pass legislation of interest to the Commonwealth’s senior citizens. Delegates, who must be 60 years of age or older, are elected by their peers to represent the state’s 136 counties and cities. It is designed to familiarize older Virginians with the legislative process, as well as increase public awareness about issues which are of particular concern to the state’s senior citizens. The last Silver-Haired Legislature, held in 1985, passed 29 bills and resolutions covering a wide range of topics, including Alzheimer’s Disease, transportation services, housing, and sales and use tax exemptions. Other issues debated by the delegates were the establishment of a state lottery, drunk driving, and restitution for victims of crime. As a measure of the effectiveness of the Silver-Hair Legislature, organizers noted that the 1986 Virginia General Assembly passed 11 hills and resolutions which paralleled legislation approved by the SilverHairs in their 1985 session.

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. McCarthy, Administrative Assistant to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, P.O. Box 222, Washington, Virginia 22747, to be received by Friday, May 22, 1987 at 2:00 p.m., at which time bids shall be opened and publicly read. Rappahannock County reserves the right to reject any, or all, bids. BY: John W. McCarthy Administrative Assistant to the Board of Supervisors creasing the amount for contracted trash collection to $150,000 and the line item for site improvements to $450,000. The board also added $10,000 for setting up the pre-engineered dog shelter building, planned to go at the new dump site, and raised the dog warden’s salary to $10,000, a five percent increase. In addition, $30,000 was included for alterations to the courthouse to remove barriers to handicapped access. John McCarthy had to duck a barrage of compliments as the board reached the line item for the zoning administrator’s $27,500 salary. “In my opinion, that’s the best expenditure we have in this whole budget,” announced Supervisor A1 Henry. “I second that!” said Mr. Lane. “I agree too,” added the chairman, as Supervisors Miller and r Estes concurred with affirmative nods. “He’s getting his PhD in people!” Mr. Miller noted. With the changes from the work session, Rappahannock’s proposed budget for 1987-88, still standing at around $6 million, will be advertised for public hearing on June 1.

Town council (Continued from Page 1) Mayor Morehouse seconded, adding "if the bid is too out of whack, we can go to another source.” Mr. Wickens observed that “the leaks are not costing us a lot.” “Eventually, they will,” the mayor replied. “Water seeks the path of least resistance. When the fill erodes away, it could break the pipes. We wouldn’t even know where the leaks are.” After a discussion about the feasibility of extending the water lines out along Mt. Salem Avenue and down Main Street toward Baldwin’s Grocery, council decided to forgo any extension plans. “It’s penny-wise and pound-foolish,” Mr. Wickens commented. “It could run us out of reservoir capacity, and the few customers would never make back the cost.” The town, Mr. Wickens added, has redrawn and shrunk its boundaries because of concerns about supplying water to some of the outlying areas. Extending the lines would fly in the face of that concern, he Dointed out. Mr. Morehouse noted that a study done several years ago estimated that, given its present boundaries and supply needs, the town “probably” has sufficient water supply from its well to fill its customers needs until the year 2030. An extension of supply lines would, he said, only beg for a problem sooner. Plans for another extension, down the Harris Hollow road to the well-head at the bottom of the hill, was approved by council. Mr. Morehouse explained that extension would complete a loop which would allow the system to be fed from either of two supply points, as opposed to the existing one source off Piedmont Ave. He added that every distribution plan he has seen provides for two points of supply. That extension, the mayor said, “is primarily for emergency situations, not a distribution line.” An expansion tank hooked directly to the well would allow water to be pumped directly into the system, bypassing the existing reservoir in case of a leak in that supply line. The cost for that extension and the hookup to the well would, the mayor estimated, be in the neighborhood of $15,000. The meeting was opened to a public hearing for comment on council's proposal to expand the town’s planning commission from five to seven members. There were no comments from the four residents present at the meeting. Mayor Morehouse noted that it is imperative that the planning commission “get moving” on its agenda. Reinhardt Lynch was appointed to the commission for a two-year term, and Joyce Kramer will serve for one-year before coming up for reappointment. They join the five members presently serving: Bill Frizell, Wallace Critzer, Gloria Robinson, Bill Wickens and Dan Lewis. Mayor Morehouse noted that there are also two openings for the town’s three-member Board of Zoning Appeals. Charlie Eldred is presently the only member. He asked for names to be recommended to the Circuit Court for appointment. Frank Reynolds, town attorney, observed that it is important for the people appointed to be willing to understand the legal issues involved in cases handled by the BZA. It “can break an ordinance faster than anybody eles by granting variances improperly,” he noted. Council took no action on recommendation of candidates to the BZA, but suggested that interested residents be approached to gauge their interest. On budget matters, Mayor Morehouse asked council members to “prioritize” their budget wish list, and suggested a “heavy work session” on the budget at council’s June 10 meeting. He once again stressed his committment to the fire department, and met with general agreement from the rest of council. “Everybody saw what they did at Washington House,” said Mr. Wickens. “It was herculean. They give excellent service, and the fire departments are not supported the way they should be in the county.” “Just listen to how often the siren goes off,” added Mrs. Willis. “It should be number two on the budget behind water,” Mr. Wickens suggested, getting the approval of all present. Peter Skowronski questioned the ability of council to work up a realistic budget without a concrete idea of the revenue flow. “It’s a shot in the dark,” the mayor agreed. “We have no historical input. All we can do is set priorities and spend in that order. Any offline items must be approved by council; that’s how you control it.” Camille Harris suggested that council think in terms of an escrow account to build a fund for a municipal septic system, for five to ten years in the fiiture. Mr. Morehouse replied that it is a consideration in the town’s longrange plan, “but given the dearth of federal funds” he questioned the ability of the town to finance the expense involved. “The toxicity is a problem which is not going to be solved soon,” he admitted. “The integrity of the water system is the priority, so it will not leach into the water. But in five to ten years, I don’t see it.” Mrs. Harris replied that she is concerned that the older septic fields around the town have begun to malfunction, or will soon, and that the town may have a real problem. “The Planning Commission raised that issue,” Mr. Wickens said. “The fact is there are a lot of reasons why (a septic system) will not happen. The tremendous cost would drive people out of their homes... if you do that, it would attract subdivisions, which would aggrevate - the problem and place a burden on the town and its services which we cannot provide. We need enforcement.” Council agreed that it supports a review of the situation, and informing the county and the health authorities that it is aware of the situation. “It’s devaluing the property, devaluing the whole town,” Mrs. Harris added. in otner matters, council: • Tabled action on approval of the final draft of the State Water Control Board’s Rappahannock River basin water supply plan. Mr. Wickens raised questions about its compatibility with the town’s comprehensive plan. Since Mr. Fisher was not at the meeting, approval was deferred until he could explain the plan in greater detail. • Heard concerns from Peter Kramer that the chlorination of the town’s drinking water is too concentrated. He complained of white, cloudy water which smells and tastes like chlorine. He warned that chlorine is a dangerous chemical which, although necessary to kill harmful bacteria, is harmful itself if overused. Mayor Morehouse said he would have the water tested for chlorine content and report back to council. • Heard concerns raised once more about speeding in the town. “It’s getting out of control,” one member of the audience commented. “You don’t know about frustration until you try to deal with the state,” the mayor replied. “We need a joint community effort to make it an issue ... if necessary we are prepared to go up through the ranks until we get to someone who will give us satisfaction.” Mayor Morehouse asked that concerned citizens let the Sheriffs Department, the State Police and the Highway Department know their feelings about the problem. Some folks in this world spend their whole time hunting after righteousness and can’t find any time to practice it. — Josh Billings i NUGGETS OF TRUTH Family Worship Center Washington, Va. GOD WANTS US WELL Continuing on in our healing! |series: We’ve looked at the facti that God. wants us well, spirit, Isoul and body; we have also looked in the past weeks why! Christians are sick. This week we j want to look at an enemy. Our! worst enemy, our mind. The Bible says in Matthew 8:17, “Jesus! took our infirmities or weak-! nesses and bare our sickness." Colossians, chapter 2, verse 14: says that Jesus bloted out the things that were against us and ! nailed them to His cross. Jesus not only nailed our sin to that ! cross, but He also nailed our sick-' ness. Galatians 3:13 says He re-! Adeemed us from the curse of the j law and the book of Deuteromory j teaches us that every sickness] and disease was under the law.! Jesus bought us back out of the! hands of sickness. The devil isj the deceiver. If he can trick us by [ 8 putting thoughts in our minds * (concerning sickness, then we will f J have sickness. f This is not to say that sickness or disease is just in your! mind, that it's not real. Sickness! |js real, but remember, Jesus! made a way for us to be free of all j sickness. If your a Christian, then | you have the right to claim God's i (promise; divine health! I Peter! j2:24 says “with His stripes you g (were healed." If you have not yet % 8 been bom again, God will heal f (you too. He loves you. He gave 8 j His only son to die and then be g Eresurrected for you. Simply be-; lieve that the things we have shared with you are true. Ask Him I to heal you and then believe that He had done it. Luke 4:18 saysj that the Spirit of the Lord is upon Jesus, He came to heal the bro-l ken hearted, give sight to the | blind, open the prison doors thatj have kept us bound. Believe that] these things are true. Don't let! your mind be an enemy to you. Choose this day to believe God’s Word, not the fears and doubts that are in this world. Jesus said in the world you shall have trib-j ulation. He also said, be of good cheer for He has overcome the world!

To place a landfill in an area where there are underground springs, underground rivers between aquifers, a place where people rely on wells for drinking water, is asking for trouble.“They have to deal with it on that level — the people have concerns for a reason.” Mr. Miller said that he prepared a handout with a list of scientific criteria which he believed should be used in evaluating any proposed site. “I don’t believe this type of analysis has been done on this site or on any other . . . the government,” he continued, “has not dealt with the basic question of whether this is a good site for a landfill.” ivu. miuci turn uic utuicuo uiat his approach, if retained to represent the group, would be to “make sure that we participate in the process to determine if it is in fact a proper site.” He said he would offer a technical assessment of the site, whether the proper precautions were being taken to protect the residents and their property, and that the permitting procedure was being followed correctly. “There is no magic bullet,” he added. “There is no magic way of deciding to spot a landfill. What you do is make sure the county, the supervisors, the state, go through the proper procedures. It seems they intend to, we just participate to make sure that they follow through.” If we become involved, he continued, “we work closely with the board. What we offer the community is to follow the procedure closely... If we find a reason the landfill should not go in we try to prevent it.” “It’s not our job,” he pointed out, “to provide an alternate site. The primary responsibility as a community is to protect the environment and to find out if this is a good site. It’s not good enough to say This is the last one’.” He would be adversarial, Mr. Miller said, in the sense that he would be looking at the technical data with a critical eye. Also, he said that he would be opposed to using the site for temporary storage until the landfill was operating. “We would be looking at the work they do to make sure it is properly done, from a procedural and technical standpoint. “The community is looking from the point of view that, all things being equal, ‘we’d rather not have it here’. We would be looking for the protections which would allow peo- h? pie to sleep at night. .. It’s not that different from the supervisors’ point of view.” He said that he found unsettling the question asked of consultant Leonard Joyce — after the contract was signed — as to whether the site is a good one or not. “That should have been asked first — and hard. I don’t understand why it was not. I would be around to make sure it was oalfoH flrqt “I don’t think,” he added, “that anyone has enough data to make a judgement whether it is a good site or not. . . we can disagree. My philosophy is to seek to work it out by (a) knocking it out of the box, or (b) ensuring that the proper safeguards are in place to protect the community.” At Sunday^ meeting, mr. aimer said he told the citizens that before he would agree to take the job, he would need the approval of his law firm, which would require a demonstration of the commitment of the community. “They can’t just pay their money and walk away. I need their support.” And, he added, “I do this for pay.” He told the group his services would require a $25,000 retainer, plus another $25,000 as a contingency fund, to be deposited in an account within 90 days.- “I can’t tell them what the total fight will cost,” he said. “To a large extent the community and the board will determine how much it will cost. But I would not begin until there is a commitment of $25,000 as a retainer and $25,000 within 90 days. ” Mr. Miller said that he had drawn up a letter of retainer, but that as .of Tuesday evening the citizens had not requested his services. He said that, given the time frame, he expected that he would hear from, them soon. “They have given me every indication that they are committed to it.” Mrs. Frances Semones, one of the representatives of the Citizens for Jackson District, said Monday that the question of retaining Mr. Miller had been put to a show of hands at Sunday’s meeting, and the .residents present had offered their unanimous support. She added that the fundraising has “been very rewarding so far . . . We’ve raised thousands of dollars - . let’s put it that way - several thousand dollars.” THORNTON RIVER borders this 9 acre open and wooded tract with homesite on knoll overlooking river and farms, west of Warrenton, $44,000.
