It’s official: County’s seniors become alumni By LOU HATTER RappafcaiMMk New* Staff Writer The atmosphere was laden with the mixture of exuberance and sadness common to all graduations as the members of the Class of 1987 at Rappahannock County High School and Wakefield Country School received their diplomas at commencement exercises last weekend. "We’re very fortunate to have such a fine group of young people in our community,” said School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, welcoming the standingroom-only audience to the RCHS graduation Saturday morning. "We will miss them,” she continued, “but we wish them well.” Jonathan Watson, valedictorian and winner of one of 1,400 coveted appointments to the Air Force Academy, as well as the President’s Academic Fitness Award, reminded the audience — and his peers — that commencement is defined as “a beginning.” He added that as seniors, "We thought this day would never come ... for our parents, it has come too soon .. . for our teachers, it didn’t come soon enough.” The beginning, Mr. Watson continued, is as a part of "the Real World . . . with new freedoms — and new responsibilities. Our teachers have tried to instill in us a sense of those responsibilities — I hope that we will not let them down.” Sean Bennett, Wakefield School’s valedictorian, echoed Mr. Watson’s reflections in his address Sunday evening. “We must recognize the obligation which accompanies our abilities. We are capable of making substantial and influential contributions during our lives. It is important that we live up to our abilities.” “Why?” he asked rhetorically. “Because there is a satisfaction in doing our best... and an emptiness in failing” to strive for the best. “The need is primary... if we are among the best, the obligation falls to us,” Mr. Bennett repeated. “We must strive to meet the goals of ourselves and others.” Mr. Bennett, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Bennett of Boston, Va., is a National Merit Scholar, Virginia Scholar, and finalist in the Presidential Scholar competition. He will likely return to Wakefield next year for a post-graduate program before continuing his studies at Stanford University in the fall of 1988. Susan Bloss, a Fauquier County science teacher who taught previously in Rappahannock, gave the commencement address at RCHS. “Your distinct personalities have merged into one outstanding graduating class. I compliment you and your parents for enriching the world with such fine adults... How jealous I am of your new experiences; I wish I were in your shoes.” “I propose,” she suggested, “that you shift your focus with new insights.. . using a creative approach to Rib. your teachers — they’ve heard your excuses, seen your pranks, your creative dress, your personalities, the lock- ’ era they’ve passed... “They’ve also seen you when you are put to the test. Creative insights,” Mrs. Bloss continued, “make the difference between a life full of excitement or endless ruts. All it takes is a shift in focus — new insights — to make a bad situation into a good one . . . Don’t let attitudes or prejudices stand in your way.” (See GRADUATES, page 11) Rappahannock Newt Hatter DURING COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES, Wakefield’s graduates are addressed by Headmaster William Lynn Jr. (top).

County faces ‘clear and present emergency’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON 1... Rappahannock New* Staff Writer _Vlt’s official. The trash problem turned into a trash crisis last Thursday night as the Board of Supervisors declared that “a clear and present state of emergency exists in regards to the removal and disposal of Rappahannock County solid waste.” The declaration, which came after an executive session on contracts and potential litigation, allows the board to contract with Community Trash, Inc. to haul Rappahannock’s solid waste to Culpeper for disposal in that county’s landfill without going through the bidding process set out in Virginia’s public procurement act. The resolution specifies that Community Trash will be paid $13,000 per month to haul Rappahannock’s trash to Culpeper, “if same becomes necessary.” Community Trash now maintains the dumpsters in which local residents deposit solid waste. In addition, the company holds a permit jointly with landowner Clifton Clark for the privately owned and operated landfill near Woodville where the contents of the dumpsters are disposed of. Both the county’s contract with Community Trash and the permit issued by the state for the Clark landfill will expire at the end of this month. The resolution adopted by the board last Thursday notes that “Community Trash, Inc. currently has in place and in operation a solid waste removal and disposal capability in Rappahannock County” and is, because of the lack of time, the only source “pratically available” to haul Rappahannock’s trash to Culpeper County. After Warren and Fauquier reneged on tentative agreements to accept Rappahannock’s solid waste for 120 days, CulpepeFs supervisors reversed their earlier position and assented to taking for three months the 16 tons a day produced here. That solid waste exchange contract was also approved by the board following Thursday’s executive session. Its terms call for. • Culpeper to accept solid waste from Rappahannock for 120 days, the time period to begin within eight months. • Rappahannock to accept one and one-half times that amount of solid waste from Culpeper for a like 120 day period after this county has a landfill in operation. • neither county to charge a tipping fee. • Rappahannock to pay all hauling costs, both for its trash to be carried to Culpeper’s landfill and for Culpeper’s trash to be carried here. • neither county to deliver brush or hazardous waste material to the other. Clark site still an option The agreements with Culpeper and Community Trash specify that the 120 hauling period will take place within eight months. Administrative assistant John McCarthy explained that the deadline was included at Culpeper County’s insistence. “They want it over and done with. They don’t want it to drag on into next year,” he explained. Asked why the 120-day period doesn’t begin July 1 with the scheduled closing of the Clark dump, Mr. McCarthy guessed that Rappahannock’s supervisors wanted “the flexibility” to pursue the option of using that privately owned and operated landfill as an interum solution to the trash emergency. “We’re going to have our consultant determine if there’s available space there and point out same to the state, if there is.” As to progress on what the supervisors hope will be a long term solution to the trash crisis, Mr. McCarthy reported that preliminary soil surveys have been completed on the 100-acre Stover tract near Amissville and samples are now being tested in the laboratory. The county has a contract to buy the Stover tract, contingent upon the Virginia Division of Solid Waste Management’s issuance of a permit for a landfill there. School Board: Nichols seeks reappointment; Updike declines another term "I’m still interested, and I still have a child in school. That puts me a little closer to the schools than if I just came over here once a month for the board meetings,” Paul Nichols said last week, announcing that he is a candidate for reappointment to the School Board. “I have not yet spoken with Mr. (Hubert) Gilkey, Wakefield District supervisor, but if he wants to reappoint me, I will gladly accept,” he added. The terms for the Wakefield District representative and Randall Updike, who represents Hampton District, expire June 30. While Mr. Nichols, who except for a brief four year absence has served since replacing Galley Smith in 1958, has decided to seek another four years, Mr. Updike will not accept reappointment. “I’ve ei\joyed it,” said Mr. Updike, who is employed by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in Warrenton and runs a farm in partnership with Judge Rayner V. Snead in Washington, raising beef and sheep. “It’s been rewarding and informative. I’ve learned a lot about the needs of the school system. But it’s time consuming, and I’ve been on the board for five years now. I think there are many other qualified people in Hampton District who are willing to serve.” The decision to decline reappointment was particularly difficult in light of the personnel changes at the central office, Mr. Updike said. “We’re going to have a totally new staff, from secretary to superintendent. We’ve dropped an administrative position - someone’s going to have to pick up that work. And we have the capital outlay project. It’s going to be a hard year, and I hope everyone in the county will realize that.” Complimenting the “dedicated folks” who work in the schools and serve on the School Board, Mr. Up dike called for renewed support for the county’s educational programs during this period of change. “We’ve come a ways, but we have a long ways yet to go,” he concluded. Mr. Nichols is director of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ laboratory in Warrenton. His wife Charlotte teaches eighth grade physical science in Warren County. They have three sons who have graduated from college, and their daughter Leslie will be a senior next year at RCHS. The Board of Supervisors has scheduled a public hearing for 10 a.m., Monday, June 22, on the School Board vacancies. tzmmm HggM JA%W&. . >;j ) -m m IS An invitation to the 26th annual Independence Day Celebration at Avon Hall ‘for tie iBtii consecutive year, William and 'Ramon# Commit again extend a cordial invitation to tie people and friends of'Rappaiamoci County to spend tie evening of July ‘fourti on tie grounds of SfvonJhll. ‘families and groups are encouraged to bring picnic suppers and spread out tfieir tables and enjoy tie variety of activities front tie vantage point on Courtiouse Jiili. ‘food and drini will also be available at tie monument entrance to itftmMl, sponsored by tie Washington Volunteer ^firt ‘Department, ? , - ‘tie traditionalfrreworh display will follow tie evening program commemorating tie anniversary of our nation's independence, beginning about S:go p,m,i by the* M faieinfrontof^vonJim/ ^ I m ife:■ S] ' »■ Town plans budget with revised format By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Special Writer The Washington Town Council agreed to incorporate the revenue and expenditures of the town water works into the overall town budget at its June meeting, held last Wednesday. This change was presented by Treasurer Brad Fisher, presiding in the absence of Mayor Dean Morehouse. Mr. Fisher was seeking an informal concensus so he could proceed with next year’s budget. The four members present agreed with his request, but postponed a formal vote until council’s next meeting, set for July 8. Since Mayor Morehouse had not distributed the minutes from May’s meeting, the, council tried to recall matters that were carried over from the last meeting. Mr. Fisher said that the council had voted to go ahead with the design stage of the new water system, a project given to the Greeley Hansen Company, an engineering firm interested in designing systems for small towns. Mr. Fisher reported that council member Dorothy Clater had resigned because of her move out of town. No action was taken on a replacement for Mrs. Clater. There was informal discussion about two of the town’s boards, the the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. Reinhardt Lynch, recently appointed to the planning commission, gave a brief report on the commission’s last meeting. Mr. Lynch said that Bill (See TOWN BUDGET, page 18)

Meredyth awarded Governor’s Cup Meredyth Vineyards of Middleburg is the winner of the 1987 Virginia Governor’s Cup. The Cup is awarded to the best Virginia wine entered in the Governor’s Cup competition. Meredyth’s non-vintage Sauvignon Blanc won the Cup as well as a Gold Medal during the judging, which took place on May 31st. Robert Harper of Naked Mountain Vineyard was Chairman of the 1987 Competition. The Cup was presented to Meredyth President Archie M. Smith during ceremonies held at Commonwealth Park in Culpeper during the Virginia Wineries Festival. On hand for the presentation was Virginia Wineries Association President and Meredyth winemaker Dr. Archie M. Smith III, Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. and Festival Chairman C. J. Reeder of Burnley Vineyards. Meredyth Vineyards is located in Middleburg in the heart of the Piedmont Hunt Country. Started in 1972, Meredyth is a family operation with 55 acres on Sterling Farm. The vineyard and winery operation is a family affair with Archie Smith serving as President, Dr. Archie Smith III* winemaker and Dody Smith handling the finances. The winner of the Governor’s Cup is each year chosen from among the Gold Medal winners. Other Gold Medal winners for 1987 are: • Ingleside Plantation Vineyards Virginia Chardonnay 1986 • Naked Mountain Vineyard Virginia Chardonnay 1986 • Meredyth Vineyards Virginia Merlot 1985 • Naked Mountain Vineyard Virginia Riesling 1986 • Montdomaine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1984 • Meredyth Vineyards Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon 1985 • Prince Michel Vineyards Blush de Michel 1986 • Montdomaine Cellars Montdomaine Blush 1986 In all 106 wines were entered in the 1987 Competition. There were 69 gold, silver and bronze medal winners. All the wines and medals were displayed during the two day festival which attracted thousands from the middle Atlantic states. The modern Virginia wine industry has grown in leaps and bounds. With only five wineries licensed in 1978, the number has grown to thirty-three with two more ready to go on line. There are more than 1,600 acres planted in the Old Dominion, mostly in vinifera variety grapes. While in 1980 60,000 gallons were produced by Virginia Farm Wineries, the 1986 crush yielded 280,000 gallons, nearly a five-fold increase in production. Virginia wines accounted for 1.7 percent of the total wine case sales in Virginia in 1986. The Virginia Wineries Association was founded in 1978. Its membership is composed of Virginia Farm Wineries. The Association represents the Virginia wine industry in many areas of concern including legislation and education and sponsors the largest statewide wine festival on the East Coast.

The two most recent thefts, both involving cattle, occurred in Rappahannock within the past two weeks. About two weeks ago, John Marshall Clark had three cows stolen from a pasture he rents on Rt. 627 in Tiger Valley, outside Washington. On Friday, June 5, John Henkell of Amissville had five calves stolen from his pasture on Rt. 729, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. Sheriff Woodward added that Mr. Clark was unable to say precisely when the cattle disappeared, but that it was sometime between May 31 and June 7. - & Lt. Randy Jenkins of the Madison County Sheriffs Department confirmed that he has investigated a number of “farm-related” thefts between mid-April and the end of May. Asked if it appeared that the thefts were committed by the same people, Lt. Jenkins replied that “I wouldn’t want to say for sure. Other than the fact that they are all farm-related, there’s nothing concrete to tie them in.” He said that several of the incidents involved livestock, including pigs, but that in other cases farm equipment, feed or supplies were taken. At one farm, fencing material was stolen, while on another occasion fence posts were pulled up out of the ground. Lt. Jenkins said that the most recent theft was a hayrake, stolen around the end of May. He added that there were two other attempted thefts of livestock in the county, both foiled when fencing broke and the livestock got away. It did not appear in either case that the thieves were frightened away by the landowner. Lt. Jenkins said that one case was closed when the four calves stolen from a dairy farm were discovered about a week later wandering in a field on the opposite side of Rt. 29. The owner was notified by a neighbor, who had heard of the theft and saw the calves in the field. The Madison County investigator added that it was not possible the calves had wandered off by themselves, since “they could not have gotten out of the pen they were in.” There were also more calves in the pen than those taken and, when they were found, the ear tags used by the owner for identification were missing. “We don’t know what happened,” Lt. Jenkins said. “Either they got loose or were turned loose.” He speculated that the reward offered by the owner, and advertised in the Madison Eagle, for information about the theft may have frightened the thieves into dumping the calves instead of taking the risk of holding on to them to sell later. Lt. Jenkins said that, in most cases, the thefts have taken place on isolated property, although one dairy farm has two houses within sight of the pen where the cattle were taken. Fauquier County Sheriff Ashby Olinger said Tuesday that his office has had no complaints of farm-related thievery for about a year. He said that several incidents last year were solved and the thieves arrested. Culpeper County Sheriff Robert Peters is out of town, but Jim Holt, an investigator with the department, said that he has no information about any farm-related thefts in Culpeper County. Sheriff Woodward asked that anyone who sees suspicious trucks hauling cattle at night on back roads please call the Sheriff’s Department (676-3331) with a description and, if possible, the license number of the truck. Lt. Jenkins echoed Sheriff Woodward’s request, adding that pickups themselves are not suspicious, since they are out at all hours, but “it certainly would be suspicious to see someone riding the back roads late at night in a pickup with cattle sides on it.” Madison County residents should call the Madison Sheriffs Department (948-5161) to report suspicious activity. New game laws out The summary of Virginia’s game laws for the next two hunting seasons, set by the Game Commission at its May 8 meeting, will be available for distribution to all license * agents by Aug. 1. A commission spokesman noted that, although hunting licenses run from July 1 through the following June 30, the delay in the availability of the game law summaries should not have any effect on any of , the 1987 game seasons.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. v___/ THURSDAY, JUNE 18,1987 Editorial A wise decision At a meeting held last Thursday, Rappahannock’s board of supervisors decided to make only minor adjustments in the formula for determining use value taxation of the county’s farm, orchard and forest land. We commend and support the decision of the board. The county is faced with a major revenue crisis, which will only deepen over the next few years unless adjustments are made to the tax structure. Unfortunately, local governments are severely limited in their options by the taxing powers authorized by the state’s General Assembly. Suggestions were heard from some quarters that the rate structure of the land use system, which can only be revised during reassessment years, should be drastically increased. True, that would have given the county some extra, and badly needed, revenue. True, there are loopholes in the land use legislation which allow some unscrupulous individuals to take advantage of the tax incentives for their own benefit. But, drastic revisions would have also increased the already enormous pressures on the county’s farmers and orchardists, perhaps providing more encouragment for them to give into those who would purchase, subdivide and develop their agricultural land into residential areas, reaping , enormous profits for the developers and their backers in the ^ process. The result, for the county, would be a larger population which would require more services, creating a vicious spiral of demands which would, in all likelihood, leave the county’s revenue situation in worse shape than it is now. This newspaper has stood behind, and will continue to champion, agriculture as the backbone of the rural environment which the citizens of Rappahannock County have cherished for many generations. Only by providing incentives for those who are attempting to maintain this agricultural heritage can we hope to deal responsibly with the pressures for development. The county’s officials understand that, and deserve the support of the county’s citizens in their efforts to preserve these traditional land uses and values. New posting method more effective, Miller says By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Beginning July 1, Virginians will have an option for posting property besides the traditional cardboard or metal signs. The law, sponsored by State Senator Kevin Miller (R-26), would allow property to be posted to prevent trespassing for hunting, fishing or trapping by either of two methods. Landowners may still affix “No Trespassing” signs to the trees or fences bordering their property. The second method, enacted by the General Assembly this year, is the blazing of trees with a stripe of aluminum-colored paint. The paint stripes must be a minimum of two inches wide and eight inches long, with the center of the mark not less than three nor more than six feet from the ground or water surface. According to the legislation, signs must be placed “where they may reasonably be seen,” and the paint blazes must be placed “on trees or posts at each road entrance and adjacent to public roadways and public waterways adjoining the property . . . (and) shall be readily visible to any person approaching the property.” According to Sen. Miller, the traditional method of affixing metal or cardboard signs to trees and posts with nails or staples had numerous disadvantages. “Anyone who has attempted to maintain ‘Posted’ signs around the boundaries of property is well aware of the problems. The signs are ripped down, usually within a few days; the signs are shot up; the signs are defaced with various graffitti. The nails and staples end up damaging the trees, or damage saws” when the trees are pruned or felled. In addition, Sen. Miller pointed out, “there is a substantial expense of materials and labor involved in the frequent replacement of signs.” And, perhaps most important, he said, “it is extremely difficult to prosecute hunters for hunting on posted land without written permission when signs have been removed or destroyed.” The solution which Sen. Miller offered, and which his colleagues in the General Assembly approved, was the paint blaze. The measure passed the Senate 40 to 0, and the House of Delegates 87 to 11. The method has several advantages, he said. “It costs much less in labor and materials to post property, and the paint lasts for many years.” Sen. Miller added that “paint marks cannot be removed or mutilated as easily as signs, and the marks do not damage trees or saws as do nails and staples.” Violation of the trespassing statute was also upgraded to a Class I Misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. The new posting procedure will be explained, and illustrated, in the 1987-88 game laws publication which will be distributed in August. The Commonwealth thus becomes the second state in the nation, with Arkansas, to adopt this innovative method of marking private, posted property. Rappahannock Newt photo/Ciody Mahan THE NEWEST MEMBER of the family sticks close to his mother, making the most of her tail to keep the flies away. \___ Rappahannock Heritage j Letters to the editor Thanks, animal lovers To the editor: In regard to the Shirley Minton unfunded, cageless, no-kill cat shelter located at Route 5, Box 281, Abingdon, we wish to advise that animal lovers erased the nugor medical bills relating to Shirley’s openheart surgery and provided cat food and essential vet care. Otherwise, there would have been no alternative but to close the shelter. When Mrs. Minton began her haven for cats six years ago, she fortunttely did not foresee the many adversities with which she would be faced, including severe vision problems, eye surgery, a mjyor fire, a theft and her almost fatal heart problems. Neither did she foresee the outpouring of generosity that would come her way when her plight became known to the public. Presently, the Mintons are back to where they were before the critical illness struck. There is no supply of cat food built up and there is no money left. Donations are few and far between. Shirley will be under a doctor’s care and on medication permanently. The portion of Dan’s income previously reserved for the cats now has to be used for Shirley’s ongoing medical care. No longer can the Mintons handle the awesome burden alone. There are now approximately 140 animals at the shelter. Because of a lack of money, Shirley has had to say no to many who have called wanting her to take in litters of unwanted animals. Shirley’s devotion to the cats is best evidenced in the story of T. C., a beautiful yellow and white kitten that was picked up near starvation on a lonely country road. He was taken to the shelter along with nine others. Mrs. Minton found good homes for seven. Two were so badly malnourished when found that their little pain-ravaged bodies just couldn’t overcome their horrible beginnings. However, T.C. quickly became one of Shirley’s favorites. For many weeks, she loved him, spoiled him and desperately tried to nurture him back to health. He followed her every move, insisted on being held and cuddled, delighted in attention and even had his favorite pillow in Shirley’s bedroom. There was never a day that Mrs. Minton didn’t mention how special this kitten was to her. One afternoon, T.C. just quietly went to sleep and did not waken. Putting aside her personal pain and heartache, Shirley stated that she was comforted with the thought that the little fellow who had fought so hard to live did not die hungry, cold or alone. The tiny fresh grave under the billowing pines in the back yard serves to give Shirley more incentive to try to keep on with her selfless mission, knowing that she provided the only touch of kindness that T.C. and thousands of others had ever known. For all the T.C.’s in the world and for those yet to be born, we can only hope for help. This is, in essence, the story of Shirley’s shelter - trying to take in and save all she can - dying a little inside when some don’t make it - finding good homes for those who otherwise wouldn’t have had a chance - and providing a place for the handicapped, abused, afflicted, blind, maimed and unadoptable to live out their lives free from pain and fear and hunger. We never again expect to be fortunate enough to cross with another Shirley and Dan Minton. For all of us, the happiest day in our lives would come when pounds and shelters would no longer be needed and their doors could close forever - not from a lack of money but for a lack of abandoned, unwanted and suffering animals. Virginians, we all humbly thank you for your humaneness and for your humanitarianism..

LINDA DIETEL Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers DMV hunts the uninsured NORFOLK — Uninsured motorists beware. The state Department of Motor Vehicles is hot on the trail. The DMV is using its new computer system to mail out 1,600 letters a day to registered motorists asking for each driver’s insurance company and policy number. Besides those randomly selected, letters are sent to people recently involved in accidents. Between September of last year and June 11, DMV’s program found 14,918 Virginia motorists without liability insurance. Those who have received the letters and have no insurance, have a choice: pay a $300 fine or lose their driver’s license. So far, there have been a lot of fines, the DMV said. About 212,000 of the 4 million registered drivers in the state drive illegally without liability insurance, the DMV said. State law requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 for the injury or death of one person; $50,000 for injury or death of two or more people; and $10,000 for property damage. A motorist who does not want insurance may post a $60,000 bond with DMV. State law requires liability insurance on any car with state tags, whether it runs or not. Lottery slump expected West Virginians are taking fewer chances in the second year of their state-sponsored lottery. That statistic gets contrasting readings by supporters and opponents of a proposed Virginia game. The West Virginia lottery, which began Jan. 9, 1986, brought in $20 million for the state treasury during its first six months. But the rate fell 50 percent during the next nine months. West Virginia lottery officials and supporters of a Virginia lottery say a second-year slump is normal. But lottery opponents say it is just one more reason to vote against the state-sponsored games in the Nov. 3 referendum. “Nothing’s really going wrong,” said Ralph Peters, director of the West Virginia lottery. “Second-year slumps are expected in the lottery business.” Across Virginia J Increases slated RICHMOND — A proposal to nearly double state support for local mental health services is under review by the administration of Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, according to a report published June 12. The state would pump another $140 million by 1990 into mental health, mental retardation and drug abuse programs under the proposal revealed in internal state documents, said The Washington Post. “Existing financial resources are totally inadequate to address identified and projected service demands” over the next six years, Howard M. Cullum, the state’s mental health commissioner, wrote in a May 1 memorandum to state Human Resources Secretary Eva S. Teig. Mr. Cullum described local services for the chronically mentally ill as “inadequate in almost every community.” For the mentally retarded, “long waiting lists for day programs are the norm across Virginia,” he wrote, and treatment for alcoholics “is insufficient throughout” the state. Virginia’s funding during the current biennium for such services is $160 million. Ms. Teig said it was too early to determine what priorities Gov. Baliles might give to the 1988-90 biennial budget, which will be submitted to the 1988 General Assembly session. The local programs have been given increasing importance because of the deinstitutionalization of mental patients during the 1970s. But members of the legislature have raised questions about the 40 community service boards that administer state and federal funds designated to help former patients. Helicopters check lines The Potomac Edison Company will conduct its summer helicopter inspection of the electrical system’s transmission lines beginning this week, as part of the utility’s ongoing maintenance program. Helicopter flights are scheduled to take place for the utility’s lines in and around Frederick, Hagerstown, Cumberland, Oakland, Romney, Martinsburg and Winchester for about two weeks. The helicopter crew will survey Potomac Edison’s extra-high-voltage transmission system, which includes 230 kV and 500 kV lines, to look for equipment that needs repair or replacement. Helicopters are used to scout the system, especially in outlying areas, because they can hover as dose as 20 feet about the lines. Once inspection of the transmission system is completed at the end of June, Potomac Edison will begin surveying sub-transmission lines throughout its service territory, which includes 7,300 square miles in parts of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Even when Americans had be- . lieved in the doctrine of predestina- j tion, they had not accepted it fatalistically or logically abandoned efforts to merit salvation. H.S.

Polo, BBQ to benefit Hospice of the Rapidan For beautiful scenery, fast horses, and delicious roast pork, Mr. and Mre. Chester W. Fannon Jr. invite friends of the Hospice of the s Rapidan to a benefit polo match and ' barbeque. The event will be held Sunday, June 28, at the Rappahannock Polo Club field off Rt. 729 near Castleton. All proceeds will be donated to the Hospice of the Rapidan. “This annual event is a wonderful way to eryoy good food and great sport while donating to a worthwhile organization,” said Pat Bankhead, president of the Hospice’s board of directors. She suggested that guests dress comfortably and bring a lawn chair for “front row” viewing of what promises to be an exciting match. Last year, Rappahannock lost a hard-fought match to the Middleburg Polo Club at the benefit. Led by host Bill Fannon, Rappahannock rallied to within one point in the fifth chukker, but watched their efforts go for naught as Middleburg’s num ber three, Roger Steele, scored in the sixth. Middleburg’s strong defense carried the visitors to a win, 5 to 3. \ Tina Hackney Weaver, Hospice’s director, explained that its goal is "to keep the terminally ill patient at home while emphasizing the quality of life, not the quantity. In Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper and Orange counties, volunteers assist the patient and family in supportive ways of home care and bereavement.” There is no charge for the Hospice’s services. Hospice of the Rapidan is funded by memorials, contributions, donations and the Culpeper United Way. Tickets to the benefit polo match and barbeque are $25 per person. They are available at the Hospice office at 126 S. Main St. in Culpeper, or by calling 825-4840. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

Once again, School Board members expressed dismay, consternation and disagreement with requirements forced upon localities by higher jurisdictions. Superintendent 0. A. Norton asked the board for authority to sign assurances of compliance on behalf of the county school system with the federal Rehabilitation Act. ‘This merely assures that we will comply with the handicapped law,” he said, adding that agreement was a prerequisite for any federal funding. 5 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the June 17,1982, edition At a special meeting on Monday, the Rappahannock supervisors reappointed Nelson Lane, representative from Stonewall-Hawthome District, to a four-year term on the county School Board.

Just get an x-ray of his heart if you really want to see something rare. What strange, but wonderful people these fathers are. They are the world’s easiest victims of love's attack. Just pour on a little attention, seasoned with about two parts of tenderness and give in very small doses... since he could never stand a big dose. Then just sit back and watch his big heart warm up. It will respond in true father fashion. This Father's Day, won't you take him to God's House for an hour of worship? Cop*TflM 1M7.

Bon Appetit! The foods of France By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON *|—* *Vntrwln “Bon Appetit!” rang through the Flint Hill Fire Hall recently when the Extension Homemakers of Rappahannock County held its annual International Dinner. This year the Homemakers focused on the country of France. The Flint Hill Club hosted the dinner and members furnished the meat dishes while members of the other three clubs famished the balance of the dinner. Members of the Amissville E. H. Club brought vegetables and salads; Washington E. H. furnished strawberry and cherry tarts; and the Daytime E. H. group brought homemade French bread and fresh fruit. The fire hall had a festive air; the table was overflowing with tastetempting French cuisine. It was truly a sight to behold. Janet Eastham of Flint Hill shared information with the homemakers about "French Provincial Cooking.” French cooking can perhaps be described best as "provincial cooking” (recipes based upon indigenous ingredients). All of France is rich in raw produce, and each region has its own specialities. French cooks use great care and skill as they prepare the traditional "provincial” dishes. This type of cooking avoids extravagance and pretention, and instead is based upon the concept that good cooking is achieved when the natural taste of the ingredients is brought out. The French eiyoy mealtimes thoroughly, thus, good food is important to the French way of life. Traditionally, the French homemaker "has been practical, sober, exceptionally discriminating” as die shops and rarefy gives in to extravagance as she prepares the family meals. The dishes the homemaker prepares are basically simple and economical. She makes a point of obtaining the best possible raw materials, and then strives to bring out their fall flavor. Her basic goal is to combine different ingredients to bring forth a delicious taste. The eating habits of the French differ from ours. Generally, small breakfasts are eaten. Hot coffee with a roll and butter or a croissant is a popular breakfast. Whereas our main meal of the day might consist of three or four courses, a French meal may well be composed of seven or eight courses served one after the other. Because of such eating habits, the French housewife’s cooking is constantly on display. This, undoubtedly contributes to the great pride and care that she brings to her art. Brittany is dominated by the sea. Its waters abound in many varieties of fish, and one if its major industries is deep-sea fishing. The unique flavor of the highly esteemed lamb and mutton of Brittany is also attributable to the sea. This subtle, slightly salty meat comes from sheep that graze on the aromatic grasses of the brackish salt-meadow pastures along the seashore. A culinary speciality of Brittany unrelated to the sea is the crepe, or pancake. A food of great adaptability, crepes are offered everywhere in Brittany. Rich sauces are rarely used in Brittany except in the Loire Valley. Beurre blanc, a reduction of shallots, wine, and vinegar to which butter is added was conceived to counteract the dryness of freshwater fish. This sauce has become so popular that any excuse to eat it is used. With an abundance of fine-quality raw materials, these cooks produce some of the simplest and heartiest of French provincial dishes. Agriculturally, Normandy is a rich region. Norman sheep are considered to provide the best lamb in France. Chicken, vegetables, fish, veal, and soup typically are prepared with cream and butter by the Normans. Fish is another speciality of Normandy. Shellfish is also abundant. Normandy is the principal applegrowing area of France, and apples are an important ingredient in Norman cooking. In addition to their use in preserves and jellies, apples are used to prepare many of the regional meat and poultry specialities. Although most rich meals end with cheese and fruit, Normans are highly proficient in the fine art of dessert making. Apples, poached, baked, and in pies and tarts are a natural choice for desserts of the region. Normandy’s particularly good agricultural produce, its fine pasturage for the raising of cattle and sheep, its production of rich butter, cream and cheese, and the availability and variety of fish, fruits, game, and poultry, have combined to create one of the most highly developed cuisines in France.

Roll the beef cubes in flour and brown them on all sides in a skillet over high heat, in four tablespoons each of the butter and olive oil.

Beef, real food for real people n Father’s Day, June 21, traditionally is a day for family cookouts. Beef is considered the official Father’s Day entree endorsed by the Father’s Day Council. It’s reassuring to know that when you serve Dad one of his favorite meals on this special occasion, you are not only satisfying his appetite, you are also meeting many of his nutritional needs. Beef provides protein, essential B vitamins and iron which help to maintain a healthy body. Dad is sure to enjoy a tender, tasty steak or a juicy, flavorful roast prepared on the grill. A delicious yet subtle change of taste will come from using mesquite in your grill. Economical cuts of beef are great if tenderized before grilling. A blade steak can be marinated several hours in a brandy, lemon juice, oil, onion salt and crushed peppercorn mixture and then grilled or use your favorite marinade recipe for less tender cuts. Remember that tender cuts of beef do not need marinating. They can be grilled directly out of their package.

The consumer’s quest for fresh produce continues today as new markets open throughout the Commonwealth. Fresh fruits and vegetables will be available at 40 different locations this season. The majority of the farmers’ markets listed in toe 1987 guide just published by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services are growers only markets. You will find some Virginia farm markets are open year round while others vary their hours according to the harvest season. Each location lists hours of operation and gives directions to their sites. Three new sites have opened this year - two in Prince William County and the Farmville Open Air. The feature of all Virginia farm markets is, of course, locally grown produce. Other products available include greenhouse plants, ornamentals, baked goods, eggs, preserves and craft items. Some markets hold special activities throughout the season at their market locations.

Now Hear This! -u ------ HEARING .LOSS— OUR NATION’S NO. 1 HANDICAP Q. I hear a lot about other illnesses — cancer, heart disease, muscular dystrophy, etc. — but not much about hearing loss. Does that mean fewer people are having hearing problems? Is the number decreasing due to medical advances? A. Although most people don’t know it, hearing loss is our nation’s number one handicapping disability. Statistically, more Americans — nearly 20 million — suffer from impaired hearing than frortj any other physical handicap. You probably don’t hear as much' about it because it is not a dramatic ailment. No one ever died from a hearing loss. But it is crippling. It can separate its victims from friends, family, even jobs; it can take away the joy and pleasure of communicating with others. And the number of people who suffer from hearing disorders is almost certainly increasing. This is due to several reasons. For one, doctors are saving more and more babies who have difficult births or are bom prematurely. Some of these babies have defective hearing. Another factor is noise pollution. More of us are being exposed to extremely loud noise than ever before. This is a common cause of hearing damage. And then, of couse, people are living longer and age is one of the two biggest causes of hearing loss. But there have been significant medical advances — progress in prevention, earlier diagnosis, and improved treatment make today a much more fortunate time for the hearing-impaired person. Through modem medical techniques or the use of high-technology hearing aids, today most hearing problems can be helped. If you think you or someone you know may have impaired hearing, plan to get a hearing test. It takes only 30 minutes and is offered as a free service by your local Beltone Hearing Aid Center. &2e/fame* H<ih r Hiring llmM.gh < jr.

Happy 14th wedding anniversary June 16 to Bobby and Sarah Brown. Have a happy Father’s Day. The remedy for wrongs is to forget them. Detecting termites difficult By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Afcnt Termites show themselves in the open once a year when they swarm in May and June. If seen around the house or other buildings, there ' might be a serious problem. Sighting the swarm is a chance ' thing. Not seeing them doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t there. The swarming may have already taken place. Check spider webs , around or under the house for any termites that may have become entangled. One good place to check is a web located near the entrance to the . crawl space under the house. Identifying a termite isn’t difficult even for someone who knows little about bugs. Take a closer look at the area directly behind the in; sect’s legs. If that area is broad and ! about the same diameter as the rest l of the body, it’s a termite. { Take a look at the wings. On a \ termite all four wings are about the j same size. Check the antennae. < Those on a termite are more or less straight with no elbow. Once it has been identified as a termite, now what? The best move is to call a professional licensed pest control operator. Don’t panic. Termites work slowly. Call several companies and have them give their costs. Get several estimates before contracting the job. Insist that each operator detail exactly how the house will be treated. Don’t be surprised if the estimates vary by several hundred dollars. Ask around about people who have had their homes treated and get their opinions. Be skeptical of the trustworthiness of any operator who operates out of an unmarked pickup truck. Ask individuals making chemical applications to show proof of their state certification to commercially apply restricted chemicals. A termite job done correctly will 5 usually last as long as the building does. Some pest controllers will of fer an annual inspection service and guarantee against future termite damage. These inspection services are a good idea, provided they don’t cost too much. In most cases only an inspection will be necessary and the pest controller will not have to apply additional treatments. Don’t fall into any traps. Have only one service contract with one firm. If another company offers to inspect the house free of charge, claims finding evidence of termites and wants to treat it, don’t let them. Call your contracting firm. It is never wise to do business on the spot with an exterminator, house repair crew, roof painter or anyone else who stops by and offers to perform a service. Always get a second opinion, check the credentials of the individuals involved and get some comparison prices. Persistent people begin the su:es8 where others end in failures. — Edward Eggleston i I i i t i i i i i I i i j 1 I ! » k j ! i i i i I » i I Qepgett ofCufyeper Two big days— watch for it!

Dinoseb disposal regulations set The United States Environmental Protection Agency has outlined indemnification and disposal procedures for all pesticides containing the active ingredient Dinoseb. The EPA will accept only claims filed on EPA Form 8500-22 and postmarked or received before July 14,1987. EPA suspended the sale, distribution and use of dinoseb products and issued a notice of intent to cancel all dinoseb product registrations as of Oct. 7, 1986. EPA’s action was based on laboratory animal studies which showed that exposure to dinoseb products from field application posed unreasonable risks of birth defects to unborn children of pregnant women and significant risk of sterility to male workers. During the initial phase of cancellation, many dealers and distributors allowed the end user to return stocks for refund. Much of this activity, according to the EPA, was associated with manufacturer and registrant recalls of their products. Because most manufacturers and registrants have more appropriate storage facilities and knowledge of proper handling and storage of the products, the EPA is strongly encouraging that this practice of returning the dinoseb products to their distributor continue. All claims for indemnification and requests for disposal must be filed with the EPA within 90 days of the Federal Register notice of April 14, 1987 (postmarked or received by July 14, 1987) and should be mailed to: Special Review Branch (TS767C) Registration Division Office of Pesticide Programs U.

In Rappahannock, the first time anything new has started through the channels of local government, it’s traditionally been a trial and error voyage while officials and applicants figure out unfamiliar procedures, time frames and regulations. But with administrative assistant John McCarthy at the helm, the county’s first conditional zoning application sailed smoothly through hearings by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, causing barely a. tipple of public comment. Conditional zoning allows a landowner to offer specific concessions in exchange for a new land use. In counties to the north, these proffers have taken the form of road improvements, sewer line extensions, permanently dedicated open space and money to build or enlarge schools. With these considerations, the developer gets a rezoning for a subdivision or commercial development. Here, Sheila O’Brien, who owns the old school in Flint Hill, agreed in writing that a rezoning from residential to commercial would be valid only so long as the building is used as a restaurant in accord with the specifications set out in the site plan submitted along with her rezoning application. Mr. McCarthy had proposed a conditional rezoning when Mrs. O’Brien’s request came before the Planning Commission. With the stipulation that the property revert to residential if the use changes, the commissioners endorsed the commercial rezoning. In a repeat of the Planning Commission’s session, Phil Irwin was the sole speaker at the Board of Supervisors’ public hearing, again supporting Mrs. O’Brien’s application for the conditional rezoning as “an appropriate use of an existing structure.” “How will her proffer be affected in the event the property is sold?” asked Supervisor Nelson Lane. Mrs. O’Brien’s voluntary restriction on the use of the building as a 75-seat restaurant is “a covenant on the deed, so to speak,” said Mr. McCarthy. According to the Commonwealth’s Attorney, the zoning cannot be conditional on ownership, only on use, he added. Under new ownership, the property would retain its commercial zoning as long as the operation and use remained as outlined in the site plan, Mr. McCarthy explained. With those assurances, the supervisors voted unanimously to rezone the 4.7 acres from village residential to village commercial. It took, just a few minutes more for the board to issue special exception permits. The first went to Emil Smet to subdivide a 20-acre parcel split by two zoning districts - agricultural and residential - into two 10-acre lots following the dividing line between the zoning districts. The second was granted to Jean and Bernard Compagne for a lodge with five rooms for overnight accommodations and dining facilities for 50. The permit for Ibarcq Lodge on Route 211 across the highway from Rappahannock County Hig)i School is conditional upon use. .of only the existing structure and compliance with highway depart rrfftnt regulations on entrance and exit from Route 211.

Graduates I (Continued from Page 1) She related an anecdote about Henry Ford to illustrate the value of shifting focus, of creating new insight. Mr. Ford, the story goes, hired an efficiency expert to evaluate his operations. The expert found things were run well, except for one man who, he said, spent his day sitting in his office with his feet propped on his desk staring into space. “That man,” the expert told Mr. Ford, “is wasting your money.” “That man,” Mr. Ford is said to have replied, “once had an idea which saved us millions of dollars. At that time, his feet were planted right where they are now.” “Be courageous,” Mrs. Bloss urged the graduates. “Don’t be afraid to fail. If you don’t fail once in a while, it means you’re not trying hard enough. Nothing in life worth having comes easy.” And, she added, “remember that a person who is never wrong is not doing anything wrong—or right.” “What is behind you,” she concluded, “is merely the beginning of a lifetime of learning.” Dr. Suhail Hanna, head of the Creative Writing Department at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa., addressed the graduates at Wakefield’s commencement, telling them that “most commencement addresses are filled with highly forgettable advice couched in language which soars to immediately merited oblivion.” He urged them to take to heart some concrete, if unusual, advice. “Watch television regularly,” he told the audience, quickly qualifying this surprising statement. “There are some excellent programs which should become part of your regular viewing habits as graduates. MacNeil-Lehrer Report, Firing Line, The McLaughlin Group, the network news programs — these are programs which will keep you focused on the human condition.” “Read magazines regularly,” he continued. “The Atlantic, Harpers, Public Policy, Time, Newsweek, The New Republic, these provide insight.” “Cultivate the comic regularly” was Dr. Hanna’s final piece of advice. “We need the relief, the escape which the comic offers. It diffuses the tensions of life, reduces the pompous to size . . . the comic helps us live with the way we are.” Headmaster Willian Lynn, addressing the graduates assembled in the senior garden, reminded them that Wakefield School’s requirements for graduation are the stiffest in Virginia, with 26 credits required to receive the General Academic Diploma. Three of the 27 seniors received the 35-credit Advanced Honors Diploma, while four others received the 33-credit Advanced Studies Diploma. Wakefield’s graduates then received their diplomas. The giris were dressed in white gowns, the boys in white trousers, naVy blazers and straw boaters. Following the presentation of diplomas to Rappahannock County High School’s 64 graduates, there was time for one last prank.

(Private IRS Letter Ruling 8502027) This allows you to create a plan that can bring tax and financial planning benefits to everyone in the family. You can sell the home to your children. The children don’t need to put up cash and they need not qualify for a mortage. The sale can be either an installment plan or a private annuity. In either case you’ll be receiving regular payments for a period of years or for your life. Thus, you’ve turned your home equity into cash without moving. You’ve also removed the home from your estate. The children could charge you fair market rent. The rent payments would be returned to you as mortgage payments. By charging you rent, die children are able to depreciate the home and take other rental deductions.

J ournai • Farm ' • Business • Garden • Rural life VFBF urges conservation The president of Virginia’s largest farm organization is encouraging farmers and agricultural organizations statewide to get involved immediately with the 1986 Farm Bill’s Sodbuster and Swampbuster programs. Robert B. Delano, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, which represents 38,000 state farmers, urged the conservation practices after meeting with state officials last week in Richmond. Officials from the state Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and Division of Soil and Water Conservation explained Virginia’s role in the two programs during a VFBF board meeting. The programs are part of the Farm Bill’s Food Security Act regarding conservation and it gives farmers until January 1, 1990 or two years from the initial plan to develop and begin actively applying a conservation plan on highly erodible farmland and precious wetlands. The plan must be fully operational by 1995. “The practice of farming on erodible land has led to both excessive soil erosion and overproduction of many commodities,” Mr. Delano said. “Farmers are conservationists by nature and the majority of them abide by the rules already. But some of the rules (in the two programs) are contrary to some of their practices.” Farmers not complying will lose eligibility for nearly all USDA program benefits. That includes price and income supports, crop insurance, Farmers Home Administration loans, Commodity Credit Corporation storage payments, farm storage facility loans, Conservation Reserve programs, annual pay ments and other programs to which USD A makes commodity-related payments. The SCS will determine if a field is highly erodible by consulting soil maps. Specialists may also have to visit the site in some cases. “Our mission is to make sure farmers are kept eligible,” said George Norris, state conservationist with the SCS. Mr. Delano’s main concern, however, is the confusion brought about by the complex issue. “The farmer is hearing all kinds of rumors and horror stories,” he pointed out. “It is a lack of information and communication throughout the state. We are working to get the word out to farmers and we will assist them in implementing the program. But we want to make sure they are aware of the guidelines.” Virginia producers who are currently farming on erodible or hydric land should contact their local SCS, ASCS or county extension offices for details. Final rules of the program are not yet written, but are expected from the USDA this month, according to Mahlon Rudy, executive director of the state ASCS. The ASCS has already assisted 2,500 producers this year and have 12,000 more requests, Mr. Rudy said. Up to 40,000 farmers will eventually n^ed assistance, he added. The two program are also tied in with Congress’ 1987 Clean Water Act and the regional Chesapeake Bay Cleanup project. “The droughts of 1981 and 1986 have shown us how important water is to us,” Mr. Rudy said. “Pollution will be with us if we continue to use that water wrongly.” The program is consistent with VFBF’s official policy which opposes incentives to artificially stimulate producers who bring fragile lands under cultivation. 4-H Pony Club elects officers by LIZ OLIVER Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer The newly-formed Rappahannock 4-H Horse and Pony Club elected its officers last week, naming Susannah McNear to serve as president of the new organization.

Special days for special parents By LYNDA COHEN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer “There is a slow but sure gathering feeling among women that in spite of the heavy artillery used against men in the fight for suffrage, after all, Father is a pretty fine old Father, and that we will tell him so once a year, no matter how we ignore and maltreat him the remaining three hundred and sixty-four days. ” — The Delineator, 1915 In 1916, President Wilson participated in the first Father’s Day cele-. bration by pushing a button in Washington, D. C., which unfurled a flag in Spokane. However, it was not until 1972 that a Congressional resolution officially established Father’s Day. Father’s Day is generally celebrated today by sending special gifts, or making a tribute to a father who has died.

She wrote letters to influential people and gradually more states proclaimed a Mother’s Day. At the same time, the carnation was gradually becoming accepted as the special flower honoring mothers — red for those still living, white for those who have died. On May 9,1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first Mother’s Day Proclamation, designating the second Sunday in May as a day set aside to express “our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” Today, cards, flowers and special family occasions honor mothers throughout the nation. The idea for a day set aside to honor fathers is credited to a Mrs. John Dodd, of Spokane, Washington. She searched for a suitable way to honor her father, who had reared six children by himself after the death of his wife.

Fiscal policy hurl farmers BLACKSBURG - The American farmer would have received significantly more money for his crop exports if there had been a policy during the first five years of this decade to lower the value of the U.S. dollar. This is the contention of a study by Virginia Tech agricultural economist David Orden. He shows the extend that agricultural exports and real-crop prices received by farmers were reduced by the high value of the U.S. dollar from January 1981 through the first quarter of 1985. The study states that U.S. agricultural exports would have been 22 percent greater and real-crop prices 11 percent higher if macroeconomic policies had been used to lower by 10 percent the dollar’s value in foreign exchange markets. During 1980/81 and 1985/86, exports of U.S. wheat fell from 42 to 25 million metric (mm) tons, and the U.S. share of wheat trade dropped from 44 to 29 percent. During the same period, U.S. exports of coarse grains slid from 69 to 36 mm tons, causing the nation’s market share to decline from 64 to 44 percent. U.S. soybean exports remained reasonably steady during this period. Mr. Orden pointed out that more than the U.S. monetary policy and the budget deficit have affected this nation’s agricultural exports. The 1981-83 U.S. recession caused incomes in developing countries to drop, making it hard for them to repay foreign loans. As a result, cereal grain imports by the developing countries dropped 33 mm tons from 1980 projections that they would import 120 mm tons by 1985. The impact of this was revealed by this country’s bulging storage bins. The study says the drop in demand reduced food imports by developing countries 10 mm tons more than the increase in supply in these countries. Their imports ended up only about 60 mm tons in 1985. Moreover, governments in several countries encouraged more grain production through protectionist policies. This increased competition when demand dropped in the early 1980s. For example, farmers in the countries forming the European Economic Community responded to these support prices in such numbers that the EEC shifted from a grain importer to a supply source for 10 percent of the world grain trade. Mr. Orden examined the interaction of world agriculture in his study, as well as the future role of Russia and China in world agricultural trade. While agricultural production in Russia was erratic during the period, production in China rose 8 percent annually. Agricultural trade with these countries can still expand, Mr. Orden said, but only if they earn more income through nonagricultural trade. His study also looked at current legislation which is designed to place restraints on trade, the need for international coordination of national farm policies, and the impact on international trade that arises from some U.S. farm support policies, such as the marketing loan program that became effective with the 1985 Farm Bill. These and other special issues pose special problems for the upcoming Uruguay round of international trade negotiations being held under the auspices of the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade (GATT), he observed. A copy of Mr. Orden’s publication, M.B. 340, entitled “U.S. Agricultural Exports - Issues and Prospects,” can be obtained by making a request at the local Extension Office. 4-H camps The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service office in Washington has announced the following 4-H summer camps: 4-H Day Camp: June 29 to July 3, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For ages 6 to 12.

I f orest assessments raised i for use value program By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON “•WMwnnock New. SUIT Writer Forest land owners and fanners with agricultural land in the poorest soil categories will pay a few cents more in taxes next year through the county’s use value assessment program, but orchards will continue to be taxed at values far below the state’s recommendations. Before an audience of forty-some farmers and orchardists at last Thursday’s work session, the Rappahannock supervisors upped the assessment on forest land from $200 to $260 per acre and dropped the bottom of the agricultural schedule, eliminating the two poorest soil classifications which had assessments as low as $50 an acre. Under the land use program, qualifying property is assessed for tax purposes at its production value rather than its fair market or speculative value. The assessments are based on soil types which have been given use values through extensive surveys by VPI’s State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee . The comittee determines the actual worth of crops and timber produced by an acre of land in each of eight soil classifications; that figure is the use value assessment recommended by the committee. But counties do not have to adopt the committee’s exact recommendations on assessed value for farm, forest and horticultural land and can instead modify the range of values, taldng into account poltical considerations as well as local conditions affecting farm, timber and orchard production. Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins noted that assessment values for the land use program may be changed only during a county’s overall reassessment, which comes every six years and is currently being conducted in Rappahannock. She pointed out that SLEAC’s recommendations on productive worth of agricultural land have declined since 1984. “I assume the drought has influenced that,” she said, adding that crop production obviously drops during a drought period. “Values are definitely tied to production.” In 1981, SLEAC recommended assessments of $620 per acre for class 2 soU, $470 for class 3, $380 for class 4, $280 for class 5, $230 for class 6, $170 for class 7 and $50 for class 8. The recommended dollar amounts climbed by 1984 to $730, $640, $430, $330, $270, $160 and $50 but then dropped in 1987 to $660, $490, $390, $290, $250, $150 and $50. (No figures for class 1 soils are included because Rappahannock County has no class 1 soils.) While the committee’s recommended assessments for agricultural land have gone down, its recommendations for use value of horticultural land have increased, Miss Atkins noted. This year, SLEACs suggested assessments for orchard land are $1,620 per acre for class 2 soils, $1,440 for class 3, $1,330 for class 4, $1,000 for class 5, $810 for class 6, $520 for class 7 and $50 for class 8. But in its land use program, Rappahannock assesses horticultural land as agricultural land, rejecting the committee’s recommendation for a separate, higher per acre schedule for orchards. Miss Atkins reported that Clarke, Fauquier and Madison counties have adopted SLEACs horticultural schedule while Culpeper and Warren use the committee’s recommended agricultural values for both orchards and farms. Warren intends to separate the two, however, in its next reassessment, she added. Supervisor A1 Henry asked Miss Atkins if she thought Rappahannock should follow Warren’s example. “Don’t put her on the spot,” interjected Supervisor NewbiU Miller, when the Commissioner of Revenue hesitated. “It’s our decision.” “Let me put it this way: if you have 10 acres in hay and 10 acres in orchards, you tell me which one is going to make you the most money in a given year,” Miss Atkins responded. She pointed out that SLEAC’s recommendations for assessments on horticultural land are based on the same careful production surveys done for agricultural land. “I’ve never yet seen an orchard in Rappahannock County mako a substantial windfall,” said Mr. Henry, a former loan officer with the Warren ton land bank which serves a substantial number of the county’s farmers and orchardists. “I don’t think orchards are more valuable than pasture or crop land. I don’t think the orchard people should be singled out to carry a higher tax burden.” “I agree,” added Supervisor Nelson Lane, pointing out that fruit production is more labor intensive than other agricultural enterprises. “The big problem in Rappahannock County is that so many orchards are truly marginal,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. Since the assessment program can’t take into account the difference in productivity between a young orchard and an old orchard, he supported taxing agricultural and horticultural lands under the same assessment schedule. Forest assessments upped 25 percent SLEAC recommends an assessment range of $70 to $170 per acre for forest land, based on general soil types of poor to excellent. Last year, Rappahannock’s forest property in the land use program was valued at a flat $200 per acre, regardless of soil type. Miss Atkins reported that Madison County assesses forest land at $200 to $280 per acre while Culpeper sets a much higher ranee of $600 to $800. By consensus, the supervisors agreed to keep a flat figure for forest land but up that figure to $250 per acre. For agricultural land, they voted to follow SLEAC’s reccomendations. But at Supervisor Charles Estes’s suggestion, they set assessments on class 7 and 8 soils at $250, rejecting the committee’s recommendation of $150 and $50. “An assessment of $50 per acre grosses the county 29 cents a year,” Mr. Estes said. “We can’t break even on sending out the tax bills for $50 an acre!” Mr. Henry noted that Rappahannock had between 2,000 and 3,000 acres last year receiving use value assessments which fell into the <»iaaa 7 and 8 soil categories. “I recommend we delete 7 and 8. I don’t have any problem with the rest of them,” said Mr. Estes. By unanimous vote, the supervisors adopted SLEAC’s suggested values for soil classes 2-6, with all forest land and any agricultural land in classes 7 and 8 assessed at $250 an acre. “Open space, farmland and timber lands are this county’s strongest asset,” concluded Supervisor Lane. “They support the land values for the rest of the property in Rappahannock County. ” ‘No smoking’ policy at CMH “CMH is committed to promoting health, including the prevention as well as the treatment of disease. “The largest portion of preventable disease is related to smoking. To protect our patients and others from the effects of tobacco smoke, our policy prohibits smoking within the hospital, except in designated areas. No tobacco is sold in the hospital. “Help yourself and others. Please do not smoke. ” These watchwords will soon greet patients and visitors in the foyer of the main lobby to herald CMH’s newly revised policy to isolate smoking.

Smoking is not allowed in lobbies and waiting areas since these areas are also used by patients. The ban on smoking also applies to private offices and any area of the hospital which is being used for public meetings. To help smooth the transition for hospital employees and other members of the community, Culpeper Memorial Hospital is working with the American Lung Association to offer a smoking cessation program for those who want to kick the habit. It is also important to note that smoking is responsible for over 60 percent of hospital fires.

Call or visit anytime! i 30 Wollaston Drive, Winchester, VA 662-1999 Half of county enrolled In land use By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KatpahaamckNaw* Staff Writer Of Rappahannock’s 170,880 acres (excluding Shenandoah National Park), about 78,500 are currently enrolled in the use value assessment program. Of that total, 55,000 acres are owned by county residents and 23,500 acres by non-resident landowners. ANALYSIS The market value of property receiving land use in 1986 was 174,588,560. Through the program’s tax benefits, $46,644,650 was deferred, meaning that the tax rate was applied against $27,943,910 — the use value — which gave Rappahannock’s general fund $270,538 less than if the properties in land use had been assessed and taxed at fair market value. Approximately 1,200 separate parcels are enrolled in the use value taxation program and about 75 new applications are received annually. Since 1983, when a separate listing was begun for land use properties, the amount of value deferred has increased by about 5 1/2 percent a year. Those are the figures from the land books in the Commissioner of Revenue’s and Clerk’s office. What can’t be found in any records is a tabulation on (1) the number of acres of farm, forest and open space which would have been developed to more intensive residential and commercial uses if land use had not been available and (2) the cost of services — schools, roads, fire and police protection, welfare and solid waste disposal — which the more intensive uses would have required. Enacted as enabling legislation by the Virginia General Assembly in 1976, use value taxation is one more tool that local govern ment may employ to preserve and protect its agricultural and forestal land. With its passage, the legislators recognized the critical role farm and timber industries play in both state and local economies. Closer to home, the importance of farm and forest lands was highlighted by a study conducted in 1985 by the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council. PEC’s survey showed that in Rappahannock County, residential use is being subsidized by farms, forests and open space, even with the deferral for use value taxation. The data collected by PEC shows that in 1985 for every dollar of revenue collected in taxes from residential land, $1.20 was spent on county services required By the same residential properties. The deficit was covered by farm, forest and open space, which took 17 cents in services for every dollar paid in taxes and by industrial and commercial properties which required 53 cents worth of services from each tax dollar. Or viewed another way, residential land use had a negative balance of $552,000 because county expenditures of $3,300,000 for residential-related services exceeded revenues of $2,700,000 derived from residential land. Eighty-nine percent of this net deficit was made up by excess revenues from farm, forest and open space land and 11 percent from industrial and commercial property. PEC’s study buttresses what the General Assembly knew when it enacted the enabling legislation: encouraging the protection of open land is not merely an indulgence for wealthy communities but rather is fiscally responsible public policy. The rules and regulations To qualify for the use value assessment program, farm and horticultural land must have been in agricultural production for the five preceeding years, either as pasture for livestock with one ani mal unit per five acres or producing hay or crops. As proof, an applicant must show either an income tax form or a signed affadavit from the individual who leases the land, showing production for the past five years. A parcel of agricultural or horticultural land must be at least five acres in size, six acres if there’s a residence on the lot. (While acres in agricultural or horticultural production are afforded use value assessments, the farmer’s and orchardist’s house and one acre on which the residence sits are assessed and taxed at fair market value.) A parcel of forest land must be at least 20 acres in size to qualify for use value. An aerial photograph from the ASCS office is checked to ensure that the property does have a forest cover. The landowner pays a $60 fee per tract plus 15 cents per acre with an intial application for land use. (If more than one tract is in the program, the additional $60 fee is waived if the properties are adjoining.) An additional $5 per year is to be added this year for the annual revalidation. The charges are intended to cover the cost of administering the land use program. When a landowner develops property or otherwise changes the use of the land so that it no longer qualifies for the use value assessment program, a five-year rollback tax falls due. That is the difference between taxes paid under the use value assessment and what would have been charged with a fair market value assessment. In addition, 10 percent interest is levied on that amount with another 10 percent late fee charged if the money isn’t paid within 30 days. The deadline for filing for use value taxation for the 1988 tax year is November 1, 1987; applications should be filed with the Commissioner of Revenue’s office after August 16. fcappafjannocfe news staff wants to hear your story ideas.

Set it in the container and cover it with water and the marbles will grip flower stems firmly without injuring them. • Many plants are easily increased by layering. Verbenas, pinks euonymus, pachysandra, ivy, daphne, climbing roses, in fact, many of the plants with reaching runners will probably take root if fastened down on soft earth with a wire and covered with some good soil. • Geranium cuttings should be made in late July to start plants for winter and spring indoor bloom. To get flowers in the winter months you may need to install some fluorescent tubes over the bench or shelves where you grow your plants. To make cuttings, use the tip of branches about four inches long. Cut off the bottom leaves and stick the cuttings about 1/3 their length in a moist sand-peat mixture. Roots will develop rapidly and new plants should be ready for potting in about four weeks. • For the largest flowers, the main stems of the dahlias should be kept free of side shoots. In larger varieties, a single stalk is the best. Adequate support must be provided to prevent storm breakage. Water well. • Divide and transplant bearded iris replanting only the vigorous ends of the rhizomes. Discard the old center portion. Cut the leaves back to about eight inches long. • Cutting flowers is best done with sharp shears or a knife. Take care to avoide injury to the growing plant by having sharp tools. A special pair of cutting scissors may be bought which holds the cut stem, allowing the removal to be a one handed operation. It is best to carry a bucket of water to the garden, for fresh cuttings rather than the familiar cutting basket. A slanting cut will expose a larger absorbing surface to water and prevent the base of the stem from being sealed by resting upon the bottom of the vase. • Hot, dry weather brings out the red spiders mites. Inspect roses, evergeens and marigolds, especially for signs of pale green coloration. Hold a white sheet of paper underneath some foliage and briskly tap it. Tiny, crawling mites will drop to the note paper if they are present. Severely infested annual plants may be removed from the garden and destroyed. Others should be chemically treated. If infestation is light, mites may be discouraged by direct spray from the water hose. • Chrysanthemums should be lightly fertilized every two weeks with a water soluble fertilizer. To keep plants compact and full of blooms, pinch out new tip growth until eight weeks before they are to bloom, approximately mid-July. For large exhibition mums, allow only one or two shoots to develop, stake these shoots, and remove side buds as they start to develop. • To reduce Japanese beetles: remove all flower blossoms as soon as they begin to fade, all fruit as soon as it is ripe. Japanese beetles are especially fond of over-ripe fruit and deteriorating flower blossoms. After these preventive steps, go out to your garden daily and knock the insects off their perches and into a wide-mouthed jar of soapy water. That will gum them up and prevent them from flying away. • Mulching herbs during hot weather protects the plant roots and helps keep them healthy. Perennial herbs also need mulch in the fall for protection from winter thaws and freezing. Woody Ornamentals: • In dry times, trees may shed up to 10 percent of their leaves to reduce water loses through transpiration. This leaf loss causes little or no harm. • Root holly, azalea, and camellia cuttings in a sand and peat moss mixture, set in a cool, shady location. Ivy and periwinkle can be rooted now to fill in any bare spots in your beds. Don’t allow cuttings to dryout. • When it is necessary to transplant woody plants in hot weather, cover them with a sheet after they are planted. Dampen the sheet two or three times a day with the hose and transplants should suffer very little setback due to transpiration losses. • Inner leaves and twigs of trees normally drop from lack of sunlight, but clusters of leaves attached to short twigs may drop as a result of insect or squirrel activity. Girdling insects make shallow, encircling depressions, while twigs broken by squirrels have diagonally severed ends. • Japanese beetle traps should be placed at some distance from the plants they are meant to protect. When placed nearby, beetles lined by the trap will feed heavily on plants attractive to them which are in the vicinity of the trap. Herbaeceous plants: • Take cuttings of roses to root, 69 inches long. Using sharp knife, remove all but top 2-3 leaves, insert 46 inches in well-prepared soil in bright light out of the sun. Firm, water well, cover with inverted glass jar. • Stop vine crops from taking over your garden or lawn by pinching off the fuzzy growing tips. This also directs the plant’s energy into ripening fruit rather than producing more vine. • When your green beans have finished producing, mow the plants down with the mower set to cut 3-4 inches hihg, then water well and feed with manure tea. Plants will regrow and give you another harvest in about a month. • Greening of potatoes is caused by not covering tubers that grow too big. Mound up the soil around the plant as it grows. Does a woman you care about have a substance abuse problem? By LAURIE BROWN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The danger signals are clear. Do you know someone who: • Drinks because she believes it will calm her nerves • Drinks because it’s the only way she feels “comfortable” with herself or others • Says she drinks to relieve tension, boredom, depression or loneliness; or because she can’t sleep • Believes that drinking helps her get her work done at home or on the job • Says she can’t remember what she did while she was drinking • Hides her alcohol or refuses to discuss the subject • Has unusual accidents such as falling down stairs while drinking Does she display any of these symptoms while using drugs other than alcohol? Each one of the above is a danger signal pointing to a substance abuse problem. There is a new program in our area specifically designed for women with substance abuse problems. Alternatives: The Women’s Program, is a service of the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Center. This intensive, day treatment program for women offers help to those who have life problems due to drug and/or alcohol abuse. Centrally located in the A. P. Hill Building at 102 North Main St., Culpeper, the program is open to all women from the five counties of Planning District 9: Rappahannock, Fauquier, Madison, Culpeper and Orange. The program is based on a holistic, intensive day-treatment concept which rests on the premise that all issues which play a role in the recovering woman’s life must be addressed. Women attend the program three days a week, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. They participate in a schedule of daily activities, are provided with a hot, nutritious lunch and on-site child care. One of the strengths of this day treatment approach is that the women in the program can remain with their families while enjoying all the benefits of an intensive treatment program. Alternatives is one of five new programs funded with Federal money and specifically designed to address the growing need for substance abuse treatment for women. At the beginning of this article there was a list of a series of symptoms experienced by a woman with a drinking problem. It’s often very hard to accept the fact that women can become alcohol and/or drug dependent. The sad truth, however, is that women make up 50 percent of the alcoholic population in this country. It is important to remember that women often seek medical, mental health and other services for problems such as anxiety, insomnia, gastrointestinal problems, marital conflict and other family issues when, in reality, the problem is alcoholism or other drug dependence.

Town budget (Continued from Page 1) Wickens had been selected as chairman and Bill Frizell as vice-chairman. Joyce Kramer, a new nominee to the board, was selected as secretary, but was not present to accept or reject the office. Gloria Robinson, Wallace Critzer, Dan Lewis and Mr. Lynch make up the rest of the new Board. The Board of Zoning Appeals is also undergoing some changes, Mr. Fisher reported. The three remaining members are Charles Eldred, Stuart Willis and Ruth Critzer, whom Peter Skowronski said would accept reappointment. More informal discussion centered around the Washington Water Works. “We’re worried about all the extra hours you spend dealing with the water system,” Council member Evelyn Willis told Mr. Fisher. “We’d like you to be paid for the time you spend on billing for water use.” “Don’t worry about me,” Mr. Fisher responded. “But we should examine the need for billing as often as we do.” Council members discussed the pros and cons of having patrons read their own meters. Mr. Skowronski said that he preferred that the meters be inaccessible to the public because of the danger of breakage. In light of Mr. Skowronski’s observation Mr. Fisher said that an estimated charge in between regular readings might be a better idea for saving the $60 cost to the town per ■billing. The council agreed to postpone action for another council meeting. Mr. Fisher added that new meter covers that can’t fall while being opened are being installed, and that this measure should prevent some damage. Council member Nan Thomasson said that the town is quite dark at night and suggested that new street lights would be of benefit to town residents and tourists alike. Members of the audience questioned the increase of over $20,000 in the preliminary town budget. Mrs. Willis explained that a great deal of the expense was for salaries, including a paid secretary, a paid attorney, and a full-time town maintenance man. Joan St. Clair cited bleak national economic forecasts for the coming year. ‘You may just not be able to do all that you want/ she cautioned. Mrs. Willis replied that the town has always been extremely frugal, moving from one project to the next only when it was prudent to do so. “We’ve never believed in deficit spending,” she said. Mrs. Thomasson emphasized that the street lights were part of her “wish list” and that many of the improvements needed by the town would be accomplished only as funds become available. Mr. Skowronski requested that the town’s boards adopt a schedule of regular monthly meetings so that interested residents could attend. Mr. Fisher said that, having received the informal approval of council to incorporate the town and water authority (which actually functions as a town department) budgets, he could complete the overall budget. Highway projects approved Fund allocations totaling $795 million for highway construction on the state’s interstate, primary, urban and secondary systems and for mass transit, ports and airports were tentatively approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board last week at its meeting in Northern Virginia. The tentative allocations are for the 1987-88 fiscal year beginning July 1. The funds reflect the first full year of revenue increases provided by the 1986 General Assembly special session on transportation last September. “Allocations reflect a $363 million increase over previous estimates that were made prior to General Assembly action last September,” said Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. “These additional resources allow the department to advertise, add and advance 550 projects in our sixyear improvement program.” The board’s action Thursday was based on the department’s recommendations, which were developed following a series of nine public hearings held throughout Virginia this spring. A breakdown of the next fiscal year’s allocations by system is as follows: • Mass transit, $74.9 million, up from an anticipated $35.2 million before General Assembly action. • Ports, $17.6 million • Airports, $10 million • Primary system, including the arterial network, $164 million, up from an anticipated $59 million before General Assembly action. • Urban system, $123 million, up from an anticipated $56.2 million before General Assembly action. • Secondary system, $148.8 million, up from $53.8 million before General Assembly action. • Interstate system $109.5 million, down from $228.1 million due to a reduction in federal ftinds. (This does not include $147.2 million in interstate discretionary funding received in fiscal year 1967). For the maintenance of interstate, primary and secondary highways and for the state’s payments to municipalities to maintain local streets, the allotment will increase from $508.8 million to $528.6 million. Also Thursday, the board gave its preliminary approval for the revision of the state’s six-year imrpovement program for highways and transit, extending the program through fiscal year 1992-93. Based on current revenue projections, Virginia expects to spend $4.5 billion during the six-year program period in state and federal funds on transportation improvement projects, mass transit, ports and airports, up from an anticipated $2.6 billion before 1986 General Assembly action. CHIP projects approved The Commonwealth Transportation Board also recommended approval of the distribution of approximately $91.9 million to accelerate critically needed highway improvement projects at its meeting last Thursday. The additional revenue is the result of the enactment of Senate Bill 79 by the 1986 General Assembly providing a gasoline tax increase that went into effect July 1, 1986, This special two-year funding package is in addition to the revenue authorized by the legislature in its special session last September. Revenue from the Senate bill is expected to total $91.9 million during fiscal year 1987-88. The revenue is earmarked for a special fund to finance a Critical Highway Improvement Program developed by the Virginia Department of Transportation as a result of Governor Gerald L. Baliles’ transportation initiatives. Of the $91.9 million, $67.4 million will be used primarily to initiate and accelerate planning and right of way acquisition on 89 primary and 34 urban system projects that have been identified as critical by the department. It will cost $2.2 billion to construct the projects identified. Many of the projects are in the department’s Six-Year Improvement Program. The secondary system will receive $23 million in additional construction funds that will be distributed to counties and $1.5 million will be used to purchase computerized engineering equipment to speed highway and bridge design. Money is distributed to projects in the Critical Highway Improvement Program on the recommendation of the Commonwealth Transportation Board with the approval of the governor. Many of the projects were identified by the governor last year, and he has visited several of the areas where improvements are needed. “The special fund provided by the Senate Bill 79 gasoline tax increase will allow the department to expedite critical highway projects for construction,” said Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. Baliles stresses studies BLACKSBURG — Members of Virginia Tech’s governing board who place big-time athletics over academics will be replaced, says Gov. Gerald L. Baliles. The university, which has lost two athletic directors in the past six months and is conducting an inhouse investigation of its basketball program, must resolve problems in its athletic department and focus its attention on its primary mission of education, the governor said. "A great deal is at stake here,” Gov. Baliles said Saturday during the university’s 115th commence ment. “The definition and the reputation of this institution potentially lie in the balance.” Gov. Baliles said he will not reappoint any members Of the Board of Visitors who refuse to commit themselves to education. “I’ve laid out the framework,” he told reporters after his speech. “If they don’t agree with it, I’ll get somebody else to go on the board.” “My message is to all boards of all” state-supported colleges in the state, he said. “Something has happened here,” Gov. Baliles said in his speech, CPSC warns on asbestos The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns consumers about the hazard of exposure to consumer products containing asbestos. These products include: • Asbestos paper and millboard • Asbestos-cement sheet • Dry-mix asbestos furnace or boiler cement • Asbestos wood/coal stove door gaskets • Asbestos laboratory gloves and pads • Asbestos stove mats and iron rests • Central hot-air furnace duct connectors containing asbestos • Bulk asbestos fibers Some of these products still are for sale or may be in consumers’ homes. Handling these products may release asbestos fibers; breathing asbestos fibers is known to cause cancer. The risk of asbestos-related cancer may be substantially higher among smokers at the levels of asbestos encountered in homes. If these products must be handled: • Wear a respirator approved for use with asbestos. • Do not dry sweep; use wet procedures for clean-up. Dispose of any residue or unused material along with the clean-up materials in a manner that will not release airborne fibers. To get information on how to dispose of asbestos, call the Environmental Protection Agency (800424-9065) and ask for your regional asbestos coordinator. • Do not use power operated or other tools to cut or drill because this can create respirable dust levels. • Keep these products out of the reach of children. The extent of current asbestos product labeling is limited. Except for products which are sold unwrapped, such as millboard and asbestos-cement sheet, all products are labeled with the name of the r 1 YOUR MONEY CM YOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you Mice on a great responsibility: saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. manufacturer or distributor. Only asbestos paper and furnace cement are labeled as containing asbestos. Non-asbestos substitutes for all asbestos products are widely available to the public for household uses. CPSC will require that the labeling requirements of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act apply to asbestos products manufactured in the future. Asbestos products not labeled according to these provisions will be considered misbranded, and thus will be subject to enforcement action by the Commission. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a ban and phase-out of asbestos products. Due to the long period of time before any EPA ban would become effective, CPSC’s labeling requirements will be an interim measure to warn consumers.

To the historic ambitions of educational excellence and research leadership held by this university, a new set of ambitions have been added — objectives that if allowed to grow unchecked could easily compromise Virginia Tech’s excellence and injure its dreams. “These are ambitions not measured by breakthroughs in research, but by breaking records in gate receipts. These are ambitions not measured by the achievements of scholars, but by glory on the playing field,” Gov. Battles said. "In a sense, we have glimpsed a future — a future few of us ever thought possible. It is a future of misspent financial resources, of million-dollar coaching contracts and lavish expense accounts. If is a future where rationality and good will have diminished, where every dis agreement involves a lawyer. It is a future that invites unethical conduct and humiliating publicity.” “I expect extracurricular activities to.have a place—and to be kept in their place,” he said. “I expect academic endeavor to hold unrivaled priority — without exception,” the governor said to cheers from about 5,000 graduates and 25,000 guests. University President William E. Lavery, in a prepared statement issued after the ceremony, said the governor’s remarks were “right on target. The entire university comJnunity shares his thoughts on the ’importance of academic excellence.” When Athletic Director Dale T. . “Dutch” Baughman’s resignation became the latest chapter in Tech’s sports troubles last week, Gov. Baliles demanded a report on the matter. State Secretary of Education Donald Finley said he delivered the report to Gov. Baliles a day before the comencement, but he could not comment on its contents. Eileen M. Day, REALTORS Clopton House, Box 120 L=J Washington, Va. 22747 675-3400 LENDER IB Near Wash.

University administrators said they, too, were in the dark on the contents of the report. Virginia Tech spokesman Marty Callaghan said that as far as he knew, Mr. Finley had not requested any information from school administrators. When Mr. Baughman quit his job last week, after a tenure of less than six months, he cited university administrators’ handling of a probe into alleged NCAA violations in the Hokie basketball program as his reasons for quitting. Mr. Baughman had been hired to replace Bill Dooley, who quit as head football coach and athletic director on Dec. 31 after the school settled a breach of contract lawsuit he had filed. Controlling spiders indoors >iders seem to Iwork. If you l*t tside, remem- Ij ntrol summer I Now is the time spiders come out of the woodwork, only notice spiders outside, her that they help control insect pests. Spiders inside the home, however, are a greater concern. Two poisonous species, the black widow and brown recluse spider, tend to inhabit dwellings and other structures. Other spiders commonly found indoors include cobwed spiders, fimnelweb and jumping spiders and the larger, hairy wolf spiders. Sealing foundation cracks and restaddng items stored in basements or garages help control spiders. If poisonous spiders are present, wear gloves when cleaning. If chemical control is necessary, use a residual spray containing diazinon, chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, resmethrin and malathion. These pesticides are found in most “home insect killer” products. Disaster payments increase The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service has announced that disaster payments on previously approved applications for 1986 crop losses will be increased from 73.9 to 100 percent. This is one of the new provisions to the 1986 disaster payment program made by the Farm Disaster Assistance Act of 1987. The provisions affect payments to farmers in counties declared disaster areas due to certain natural disasters during 1986. Although the provisions are part of a new law, actual funds for the payments have not been appropriated by Congress, an ASCS spokesperson said. Linda P. Henry, County Executive Director, Rappahannock County ASCS Office, stated that farmers must apply for benefits under the new provisions by June 26. An additional amendment to the Act which affects the 1986 disaster pyaments program authorizes payments for losses , in 1986 apple production due to freeze.
