Mr. Foster’s orchard, located high on a hill off Rt. 631 near Huntly, seems to be a favorite dining spot for the bears, and his apple and peach trees show the damage. He admitted that “the orchard is in a bad spot, surrounded by mountains.” Older trees have limbs broken and dangling, and claw marks are visible on the trunks where young bears have actually climbed into the trees to reach the ripe fruit. The smaller trees are often broken clean off, and their recovery as a fruitbearing tree is questionable, the veteran orchardist said. Even the largest trees, whose limbs are more difficult to snap, have all the fruit within reaching distance stripped off. The bears eat only the ripe, prime fruit, Mr. Foster added. If a fruit is hard or bitter, they drop it on the ground and go back for more succulent pickings. Game Warden Jim Bankston said that the three bears trapped in Mr. Foster’s orchard represent half those captured this year in Rappahannock - plus one killed by a car outside Huntly on Rt. 522 last week. Two were trapped after they tore up bfeehives, one was stealing corn from a com crib, and the other three were orchard raiders. ■ Warden Blank removed another bear Monday, this one trapped on Leon Hutcheson’s farm on Jenkins Mountain off Rt. 211. For two weeks the bear had feasted on Mr. Hutchethe ripeivJuci^^fi^jljjHisZ^ife ’ pointed out’numerous unripe fruit lying on the ground, one bite taken and then discarded. “We tried everything,” Mr. Hutcheson said, “even rock music” played on a portable radio left in the orchard overnight. For two weeks the bear ignored the trap, which was baited with ham scraps. It chose, instead, their ripe nectarines. He said that Warden Bankston was, on Monday, going to issue him a permit to shoot the marauder. But finally, Monday morning Mrs. Hutcheson said she awoke to their dogs barking and the most aw(See BEARS, page 18) - —» — . mam « WMiMWMMMMWiiCP KanMhaimock New* phoKN/Lou Haner and Cindy MAh TREES IN FOSTERS’ and Hutcheson’s orchards show the damage caused by roaming bears (top).

Agencies argue; Atkins refuses sewer connect Alson Atkins maintains that his private sewage disposal system is working fine and therefore he doesn’t have to hook on to Sperryville’s new $2.1 million public system. The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, which enacted a mandatory connection ordinance and sees Mr. Atkins as the lone hold-out, thinks the waste water from his private residence should be treated at the WSA’s plant but says it needs help from state agencies in forcing compliance with the connection provision. The Health Department and the state Water Control Board shoved the county into building the sewer system in the first place to clean up the pollution of the Thornton River and remove the health hazard of groundwater contamination arising from malfunction septic systems in Sperryville’s flood plain soils. But the two state agencies say they can’t push Mr. Atkins into hooking on to the sewer system. And so the impasse continues. Mr. Atkins’ residence is just feet away from the Thornton River. The waste water is piped to a septic tank, located in the river’s flood plain, which is periodically pumped out by a commercial hauler, according to Mr. Atkins. He concedes that an additional line once ran out of the tank but that this line has been closed off, thus eliminating any pollution potential. “Rightly, he should be hooked up,” says WSA chairman Martin Woodard. And at WSA meetings, Authority members have criticized the Health Department and Water Control Board for failure to take action against the hold-out. Douglas Baumgardner, attorney for the WSA, notes that section 15.1-1261 of the Virginia Code provides the enabling legislation for the mandatory hook-up provision. But the legislation provides one exception. Property owners with private septic systems “meeting the applicable standards of the Virginia Department of Health shall not be required to discontinue use of the same,” the code stipulates. Accordingly, in any enforcement action under the mandatory hook-up provision, “the threshold question has to be answered: Does the system meet the standards?” Mr. Baumgardner noted. “So first the question must be asked of the Health Department: Does this septic system meet the applicable standards?” Several other property owners whose residences are within the delineated service district for the Sperryville sewer system and thus are subject to the mandatory hook-up provision have been exempted from connection. But local sanitarian Jack Lockhart reportedly signed off on these hilltop properties, located well above the village’s flood plain soils, affirming that in each case, the onsite waste water treatment systems met the applicable Health Department standards. The Health Department has not provided that same verification for Mr. Atkins’ property, according to (See PLAN, p. 18) Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE RAPPAHANNOCK WSA is considering legal action to force Alson Atkins, the owner of this property, to hook into the Sperryville sewer system. Public health officials have alleged that Mr. Atkins’ house, which sits within just a few yards of the Thornton River, is discharging raw sewerage into the river. RCES phys ed days cut When upper elementary students return to school this September, it will be to a pared down physical education program. Last year, youngsters in fourth through seventh grades had a half-hour daily with the certified physical education teacher; this year, it will be cut to just two days a week. The change in the program was discussed during executive session at the July meeting of the Rappahannock School Board. There was no mention of the action during the open portion of the meeting. “It was a personnel matter - whether to replace an aide, whether to reassign an aide,” said Superintendent David Gangel in an interview this week. “The decision was not to replace an aide, and if the individual wasn’t replaced, certain alterations in curriculum would result.” He explained that it was his recommendation not to pull an aide from another program to replace the aide for physical education who is not returning this year. “We’re trying to do what we can for reading” and other academic components, he said, stressing that the priority must be given to academics. Asked, if that means the reading lab aide who was assigned to the school office last year will be returned to the reading lab, Dr. Gangel said he is evaluating this and other moves. But without an aide, he continued, the physical education teacher had an “unrealistic, extraordinarily heavy load,” seeing more than 2,000 children every week. That prompted the decision to cut back physical education for the upper elemen tary students to the same twoday per week level of the primary grades. He acknowledged that teachers will lose the half hour of planning time they had while students were in phys ed. “I’m concerned about the planning time and we’re looking for a way to protect it, to provide as much time for planning as we can,'' he said, adding that no decision has yet been made on what to do with the classes during the half hour. The youngsters may have phys ed with their regular classroom teachers or they may be in an “enrichment” program, the superintendent said. “It’s not an ideal decision, but I’m not sure there is an ideal decision here.” No record in closed session Returning to open session at the meeting July 14, the School Board members voted on a long list of appointments, resignations and assignments as well as various pupil personnel matters. They did not act publicly on anything related to the reassignment of an aide to the PE program. Neither do the minutes for the meeting make any mention of the matter. After consulting his notes, Dr. Gangel explained that during the board’s executive session discussion of other personnel items, he brought up the aide question as “a point of information” and “indicated the impact” of his decision not to reassign an aide to the PE program. As to whether the policy matter of curriculum change qualifies as business for executive session under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, (See AIDE, p. 18)

This is the last day of one part of my life,” she added, “and tomorrow is the first day of a new part. ” Her plans on retirement? “I’ve got a house full of stuff that I always said I’d put away when I retired. Now I’ve got to do it! Mrs.Updike plans to visit family in Suffolk, then return to enjoy Rappahannock. “I’ll be here forever,” she smiled. “I’ll never leave!” According to the Hagerstown Almanack August’s forecast is for average temperatures and average precipitation.

Respectfully submitted, John W. McCarthy Administrative Assistant to the Board of Supervisors NOTICE OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that, pursuant to resolution of the Town Council of Washington, Virginia on July 8, 1987, and in accordance with Sections 15.1 -431,15.1 -493, and other applicable Sections of the Code of Virginia, the Town Council of Washington, Virginia and the Planning Commission of Washington, Virginia will hold a joint public hearing at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12, 1987, in the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia, to take public comment regarding certain proposed Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. All interested persons are invited to attend and present their views. The primary purpose of said Amendments is to remove the requirments for a Special Use Permit for commercial signs for legally constituted business entities within the Town of Washington. Certain size and number limitations on all signs are also included within the proposed Amendments. The full text of the Amendments to be considered by the Town Council and the Planning Commission is available for inspection in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County during normal business hours.

This Notice of a joint public hearing shall be published for two (2) successive weeks prior to August 12, 1987 in the Rappahannock the 23rd-25th. As usual, the dog days end on the 11th. Full moon occurs on the 9th at 6:17 a.m. EDT and is usually known as the Com moon. Early in the month one can expect the annual appearance of the heavenly fireworks display of the Perseids. Beginning in late July and continuing through mid-August, these so-called “shooting stars” at the rate of about one a minute at the height of the shower are a result of the Earth passing through the tail of the comet Swift-Tuttle. They are usually more frequent during the early morning hours. In the garden, keep after unwanted weeds that rob moisture and valuable nutrients from your vegetables and flowers. A good layer of mulch helps retain moisture, keeps down weeds and makes the soil cooler during hot August days. In August of 1787, a draft of the Constitution was prepared by the Committee of Detail for consideration by the delegates.

McCreary goes where the painting leads her By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Fauquier Democrat Contributlnf Writer t A garret studio. A beret.' A paint « splattered smock and a palette smeared with daubs of oils. A carafe of wine, a loaf of bread and a hunk of cheese, the struggling painter’s dinner eaten by flickering candlelight. They’re the romantic symbols of the artist’s life. And nowhere in this tableau is there a place for a squeeze bottle of dish detergent. “But there’s lots and lots of dishwashing. , .There's dishwashing for everything in life!” contends Phyllis McCreary. “An artist is no exception. You have to clean your brushes, make your own canvas stretchers, make your own frames. I like that aspect - beginning with a raw canvas.” But she doesn’t like the framing part, at least not when a mid-summer heat wave is turning her studio into a sauna and she’s struggling to ready a score of paintings for the opening this Sunday of her solo show at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. She hunts for a screwdriver among the piles of works-in-progress, pieces of metal frames, scraps of paint-smeared rags and boxes of brushes. It looks a mess, she concedes, apologizing for the disarray in the old bam-cum-studio. But it is the kind of mess that marks the work area of a creative person too busy to stop and find a place for everything and then put everything in its place. “I know where everything is,” Mrs. McCreary maintains as she triumphantly holds high the missing screwdriver. Do most artists paint and frame both? “Not if they’re rich and famous!” She attacks the metal comers with the screwdriver. “I’d do anything not to do this! I hate it!” Maybe it’s the dishwashing, or maybe it’s her years in a non-artistic job as an economist with the U.S. Department of Labor, but Phyllis McCreary is not the stereotypical artist. She’s practical. When she talks art, it’s in terms anyone can understand. And when she paints, it’s with a talent that anyone can recognize and appreciate. Her works fall into four styles, all very different. The early paintings in acrylics are big, bold abstracts: bold and big in their shapes and bold and big in their colors. She points to a pink and yellow circular design. “That was my first absWkct. It’s in the show for , * historical pu^bsesT”' ShdjoKeC *It’s a * • i. based on a pink grapefruit I was eat* ing one morning before I went to work and all at once, I saw it in a different way. But isn't that what painting is all about? Learning to see the world in different ways?" In a second style, also abstract, her work shifts to the soft light of dusk and sunrise, and with the muted colors, Mrs. McCreary abandons all traces of cubism. The shapes on the canvas are more implied than defined. A few of these soft abstracts explode with the vivid reds of a sunset or the brilliant orange and russets of autumn, but most of the paintings in this .period are in colors reminiscent of the great French impressionists. In the mountain series, the forms are now as impressionistic as the colors were in the soft abstracts. These are the Blue Ridge foothills so familiar to anyone who travels the Zulla or Rectortown roads. These are the misty blue mountains at morn through August's haze. In the final period, where Mrs. McCreary is now, the subjects are firiends and the medium is oil. The colors are again bold, bright and big: a nude lounges on a crimson couch that stands against a purple wall offset by deep green drapes, a lavender throw falling across at her feet. Here the artist’s mastery of color and space is overshadowed by the forms. Particularly by the &ces in the portraits. They are strong, beautiful faces, the best of them naggingly familiar. But you don't know them; you can’t know them. Some are dead, some live on the other side of the country. They are familiar because she’s caught the character that marks strong, good and generous friends. She’s done it by getting that certain twinkling glint in the eye, that certain tilt to the head, that lift to the smile and set of the chin. With the abstracts and the mountain series, she’s reticent in talking about meanings or symbols. “I’m interested in color, space and shapes. I’m interested in organic things. I’m interested in the way organic things relate to each other. Mountains are organic things. I’m interested in mountains,” she says. Mrs. McCreary shakes her head. “Itte difficult around here. People are mostly interested in paintings of horses and dogs. Now, I love my pussy cats and my puppy dogs,” she acknowledges, bending over to scratch the ears of the handsome and perfectly mannered standard poodle who is her studio companion. “But I don’t paint themt11 don’t paint picture*,H she il&afceftelb &cfjool I Huntly, Virginia22640 703-635-8111 Wakefield SAT/PSAT Summer Course Open to area students, grades 9-12 August 10-14 9:30-2:30 p.m. $125 Call703-635-8111 to register.

That’s the center of everything.” She laughed, explaining that a portrait she’d done of herself and a friend had started out in the kitchen but then she’d changed the backdrop to the outdoors. “Probably none of them will end up in the kitchen, because you have to be willing to go where the painting takes you.” Painting took her from a job as an economist with the U.S. Department of Labor. She’d enjoyed drawing and painting as a child but by college, she’d realized the difficulty of making a living as an artist and so she took political science and economics, not fine arts. Then when she’d earned enough money as an economist, she began studying art with Jennie Knight at the Alexandria Gallery established by Ms. Knight and Joy Luke, Rappahannock County’s resident authority on color and an artist herself. “But the more I painted, the more I wondered, ‘How can I paint more?’ I had no time for painting!” She dropped down to a four-day week as an economist, joined a gallery and won awards in several juried shows for her work.

I thought I’d have more time to paint but I ended up painting the house!” For a while she divided her energies between painting and parttime, freelance work as an economic consultant. Then she gave up painting all together for a while and split the time between consulting and helping her husband establish a vineyard and winery at their Locust Hill Farm near Rectortown. Now the winery and vines are his alone and she paints almost every day. “When you’re seriously involved in painting, it’s a way of life. It doesn’t take up just the hours you spend at the easel. It’s going on in your head. It opens your eyes. It’s a new way of looking at things.” “I have a painting in my head even while I’m working on these stupid frames,” she continued, resuming the attack with the screwdriver. “I’m having great trouble because I can’t get it out right now,” Mrs. McCreary added, grinning ruefblly. “It’s not that you have to paint ALL the time if you’re an artist. You can block it, but it’s not good for you to do it too often or for too long.” She took a deep breath, as if looking for the will power to ignore the painting in her head while she still had framing before her. “I ADORE having people look at my work and say they like it. I ADORE selling a painting. But the real reason you do it is for the doing of it,” Phyllis McCreary, the artist, maintained. “Because nothing else requires as much of you. Because nothing else uses as much of you. Therefore you get more satisfaction out of it than anything else in this world.” Phyllis McCreary’s solo show will open at the Middle Street Gallery on Saturday, August 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. and continue through August SO. The gallery, located at the center of town in Washington, is a non-profit, cooperative venture involving SO painters, sculptors and photographers from the Piedmont countryside, the only one of its kind in rural Northern Virginia. Middle Street Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and on Thursdays by appointment. For additional information, call (70S) 675-SUO. Soviet doctors visit CMH Culpeper Memorial Hospital and Dr. Harold Markham hosted a delegation of 29 Soviet physicians in a cultural exchange program to learn about the delivery of health care in the United States. The visit to Culpeper on Friday, July 17 was a result of the physicians’ desire to see how American health care is delivered in rural communities. Culpeper Memorial Hospital, the Culpeper Health Care Center and Dr. Markham’s private family practice were considered by the Academy of Family Physicians to be well-situated examples of primary health care facilities. The physicians arrived in the United States on July 5 and visited large medical centers and university-affiliated hospitals in New York, Boston and Washington before coming to Culpeper. “Now that they’ve seen glorified medicine, we want to show them what real practice is all about,” said Dr. Markham, vice-president of the Academy. Part of the People-to-People American-Soviet cultural exchange, this delegation was the largest group of Soviet physcians ever to visit the United States through the Initiative for Understanding. Consisting of 21 men and eight women ranging in age from 26 to 50, the group included thoracic surgeons, urologists, oncologists, orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists and pulmonary specialists. Accompanied by CMH staff members and physicians, the delegation received a thorough tour of Culpeper Memorial’s facilities. Dr. Alexzandr Martynenko, leader of the group, expressed through an interpreter that he had learned much to report back to his research institute in Moscow. When questioned through an interpreter about any differences or similarities he had noted during the tour, one Soviet doctor commented: “We have noticed many similarities: the equipment is of good quality, and your hospital is comfortable, wellplanned and cleverly devised. We find it very good.” Russian cardiologist Alexandra Avtandilor said that he and his colleagues were very impressed with the quality and organization of American medicine and that they had found much in common during their tour to the United States. “I wouldn’t be wrong to say that this tour to the U.S. has impressed everyone in the entire group,” said Dr. Avtandilor. “Everyone has been very hospitable, and we have found the medicine to be very well-organized here.” Nonna Gioia's Restaurant Highway 211 #225 Speriyville, Va.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, JULY 30,1987 Editorial What’s going on?) Several actions taken by the Rappahannock County School Board during the past weeks have disturbed us. First, the board has deferred a decision on a request for optional religious instruction during school time. We believe that would be a bad idea, and expressed that opinion last week. But in deferring the decision, several additional questions arise. First, why did two of the board members abstain from voting? Generally, abstentions are reserved for matters in which the individuals have a conflict of interest, or if they were not present when the issue was discussed and are therefore not familiar with the facts. No reason was given by the board members for thenaction. They are not required to do so. We only hope that the abstentions did not arise from a reluctance to take a stand on a controversial issue which will draw criticism no matter which way they vote. Second, the vote on the proposal was two against, one in favor, with two abstentions. Chairman Beverly Massie counted the two abstentions as “nays” and ruled that Paul Nichol’s motion to deny the request failed to pass. We question her ruling. Under parliamentary procedure, abstentions are counted separately from “yeas” and “nays.” We believe that, because three votes constitute a majority, the motion should have passed by a two to one margin, with two abstentions. This week, questions raised by a reporter for this newspaper revealed that the School Board apparently learned of an administrative decision to cut the amount of time allotted for physical education at the elementary school during an executive session called to discuss pupil and ?'« personnel mattdffs. That too is wrong. We have no objection to executive sessions being called to discuss matters of personnel. That is why the Virginia Freedom of Information Act makes allowances for certain types of business to be discussed during executive sessions. But the law is clear—decisions must be announced in public session. It is also clear on another point — policy decisions and the discussion of their ramifications do not belong in executive session. When personnel discussions become policy discussions it’s time to open up the doors. The residents of a community can only participate in decisions which affect their lives if they are aware of them. That is why the Freedom of Information Act was created— to insure that government is as open to public scrutiny as is possible without compromising certain clearly defined sensitive areas. We think that is a good idea, and we urge the School Board to keep the public as involved as possible in the decisions which affect our children. Six attend state education conference By B.L. BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer More than 1,000 School Board members, school administrators, local elected officials and other interested persons, including six from Rappahannock County, met July 22 in Richmond to attend Governor Baliles’ Conference on Education. The Rappahannock representatives were Beverly Massie, Nancy Reeves and Bryant Lee from the School Board, John McCarthy, representing the Board of Supervisors, and Lee Bird and Ronald Frazier, candidates for the Board of Supervisors in Hampton and Jackson Districts, respectively. The highlight of the conference was an address by Governor Baliles, who stressed the need to improve education in keeping with the growing demands of social and economic development in Virginia. “We have already witnessed unprecedented and accelerated change in the 20th century,” he said, “and we will have to continue to prepare for continuing changes in the 21st.” Citing widespread educational deficits here, he emphasized the need to “internationalize” Virginia education to keep Virginia economically competitive. On this point, he cited the importance of broadening the study of foreign languages and improving the understanding of for eign cultures and the knowledge of world geography. Governor Baliles stressed that we must heighten the understanding our students have of the world in which they live, since that world is in the process of becoming, through modem telecommunications, a “global village,” of which Virginia is a small but important part. Finally, he said, we must impart to our students a joy in education and through innovative programs make Virginia a leader in education in the years ahead. In addition to Governor Baliles, two other speakers addressed the group. Dr. John J. Hunt, associate professor of Educational Leadership at the University of South Florida, talked on teachers’ need for enhanced recognition and financial benefits and the problems of school discipline. On both points, he offered some unexpected and unusual solutions. He was followed by Dr. Michael D. Usdan, president of the Institute for Educational Leadership, who addressed some of the functions of school boards and the role they play in establishing grass roots leadership in school affairs. He emphasized that education is an investment in the future - a fact now well recognized by both political Rappahannock Heritage - Rappahannock Newt pboto/Lou Haller THIS YOUNG FAWN is discovering the world, safe for now from more lethal lenses than cameras. An open chapel? To the editor: Although your editorial about the “rolling chapel” made some good points, I think you overlooked a couple of points which would make it be a good idea. The purpose of education is the building of a majestic (we might say well rounded) character. The schools obviously fall down on that job, and they don’t even turn out graduates who are employable. The educators might claim that the idea is to stuff as many facts as possible into a great number of heads, and in this they may succeed. So whether it is facts or character that is the goal, the “rolling chapel” could really be a benefit, if (and this is a big IF) it would be totally open for the presentation of any form of religious belief or non-belief. Your editorial says that we should leave religious education to the home or the church, and I couldn’t agree more, but what they usually get there is indoctrination in a fixed set of beliefs, the beliefs of the parents. Generally they have but two alternatives - to accept or rebel. By presenting a number of ideas, the rolling chapel would allow them to search for their own best understanding of truth. I would guess that a Unitarian might be the ideal person to run such a forum, perhaps being able to be more open to the presentation of others’ points of view than anyone but a Buddhist. In a forum like this, however, there would have to be one firm rule - no one could be allowed to lord it over the other teachers as if that person had the only true truth - the real reality (although many, of course, would feel that they indeed did - but they would have to keep it to themselves). Naturally I would like such an opportunity to present what I feel is the next step in the ongoing Judeo/Christian revelation - the understanding that God is everyone’s Trinity Family, a family composed of a divine Mother, Father and eldest Sibling (Jesus to us), a family in which every individual is a member by virtue of their personality, needing only to be spiritually reborn to begin to see and live it. And I certainly feel that this truth could find acceptance in seeking hearts and minds which are willing to learn. Moreover, I think that kids would benefit tremendously if they could learn for themselves that there is the exact same expression of truth which fundamentalists preach, also to be found in so-called non-Christian religions. . .that the kingdom of heaven which Jesus preached, and presented as a bit of leaven or yeast, has found its way into many spiritual loaves, and is causing them to rise. I think they would benefit from the secular humanist and the atheist, seeing that they are often sincere people who want a chance to do good. The light of God ought to be more easily seen when viewed against the contrast of non-belief. Such a free forum as this would be a wonderful thing in Rappahannock County and I’ll bet grown-ups would attend as well. It may well be just what this county needs to survive. PETER BROOKS HOLLEY Minister Heavenly Earth Revival (HER) Boston and business leaders. A well educated citizenry is essential if we are to continue to be competitive, he concluded. During the course of the conference, more than 70 mini-workshops were offered, among which those at tending could participate in three of their choice. These workshops ranged from technical subjects of instructing to personnel and management problems, as well as legal and financial issues in education and school and community relations. Bryant elected legion chief William R. (Bill) Bryant of Culpeper, an “All Vietnam Era” veteran, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was discharged with the rank of Sergeant, has been unanimously elected Department (State) Commander of The American Legion of Virginia. Mr. Bryant took office upon the conclusion of the 69th Annual Convention of The American Legion held in Roanoke, Virginia, attended by over 1,500 Legionnaires and Auxiliary members. William Bryant becomes Virginia’s first “exclusively” Vietnam veteran commander. Commander Bryant reached this top level of leadership in Virginia because of his long and dedicated service in various Legion activities. He has been a member of Culpeper Post 330 for 13 very active years serving as its Commander, Vice Commander, Adjutant and Membership Chairman. As Commander of the 16th District of the Department of Virginia, he also served at every command level. During his last position as Department Vice Com mander, Bryant led Virginia in the attainment of its highest membership standing since the late 1940’s. William R. Bryant was bom in Warrenton and graduated from Culpeper High School in 1964. He and his wife, Patsy Jean, are members of the Alum Spring Baptist Church. Commander Bryant has been employed by the Virginia Highways Department for 22 years, the last 15 of which as a staff appraiser for the acquisition of properties in connection with proposed highways construction. Commander Bryant takes over the reins of The American Legion of Virginia, which has just earned not only its highest percentage of membership growth since 1946, but also greater than any other state comprising the largest of all veterans organizations. In recognition of this accomplishment, Virginia will be honored to march in the van of the parade of Departments at the forthcoming National American Legion Convention taking place in San Antonio, Texas, in August. .1 Supporting the chapel To the editor: I was disappointed in your July 23rd editorial against the “Rolling Chapel.” This program has been operating in Culpeper County for over 46 years, each year attracting some 2,000 youngsters, with parental permission and encouragement. It operates on an off-time, off-campus basis, throughout Virginia and in six other states. When I heard that the local Culpeper chapter of the Children’s Bible Mission was acquiring a second “Rolling Chapel,” I was the one who suggested bringing it to Rappahannock County. Since modern school curricula seem to be lacking in teaching ethics and morals, the “Rolling Chapel” seems to me to be an excellent adjunct to our educational system. I would like to see it approved beginning this school year. HOWARD W. HOLSCHUH Castleton Stop the spraying ro the editor: It is with great dismay and concern that I write this letter. Midsummer, and the sweet smells of Virginia have been lost fo uncontrolled herbicide use and orchard spray residues. Apparently, people seem to think poisoning weeds and looking at dead, brown, wilted stalks is a “cleaner” look than a bit overgrown fence rows. There is various cutting machinery on the market, but of course, it’s not “cost effective.” Regardless of all arguments and money matters, the fact is that the toxic residues of poisons are extremely detrimental to clean water sources, plant life and the great food chain, in which we all tak part, both in this local area and down river. Even the air stinks, and to me, it is a slap in the face to be living in the “clean country.” At the cost of my health, I am forced to be near sprayed areas. There are lots of articles out there, research, tests, actual examples. (Look at California, San Joaquin. Do California people drink their own water any more? Bottled water is a million dollar business.) That proves these toxins do not disappear. Just because man does not fall over dead after exposure, no one bats an eye, who cares if an exotic flower was just permanently extinguished? Only the true weeds, mostly introduced aliens to this area, the victims to be killed, survive and return profusely the following year. The cost of continual spraying is serious, why doesn’t anyone care? Practically any adult can go and purchase these toxic chemicals, with no restriction or .licensing, landowners who think they, have a right to spray their own property never' stop to realize it is not an isolated decision for their personal use only. Everything alive is affected. The weird things that happen elsewhere, mutations, cancers, contaminated water sources, will happen here too if such negligence of consciousness continues. We have successfully contaminated all of the Great Lakes to the point of no return, most all of which are toxic chemicals. But the water looks cleaner than it used to! This is not an attack on this county’s attitude alone, it is countrywide. It is in the thoughts which persist from decades ago, that the earth can purify all of our abuses. Now there are not only chemicals to deal with; there are nuclear wastes too, and nobody in Virginia even has access to a place to dispose of household chemicals and insecticides that are leaking in various landfill sites. Even if people are educated and are willing to make a real effort to dispose of these chemicals properly, where can they be taken? If we all want to find alternatives, even to present available environmental information, promote restriction laws and get them enforced, it will be too late. If we don’t have a healthful environment, we won’t need anything else, and the beauty that you see will be illusion. Where are our priorities? ANDY KLOPP Sperryville Don’t widen Rt. 211 To the editor. I have dallied writing this letter, hoping, I suppose, that someone else would do it, or that the whole issue would go away. But I am afraid it hasn’t and, meanwhile, I find my courage to speak out has gotten stronger. I feel that the planned widening of Route 211 from Washington to Sperryville is a terrible mistake. I travel that stretch many times a week and, apart from one or two weekends in the fall, have never found it to be crowded. A larger, faster highway will ruin the folksy and gentle character of the road as it now stands; will encourage more development at this end of the county, which up to now has been spared some of the threat of “greenbelt” expansion, and will further hinder movement of wildlife from one side of the road to the other. I am sure there are many more distressing reasons why this widening should not occur. Perhaps we could have a referendum on the issue on our November ballots. Or, maybe there are not so many who feel as I do, and the plan should go through. If there are others, though, perhaps we could see what possibilities there might be for preventing this plan from actually materializing. Anyway, I have spoken out. STELLA D. R.

Whether it lives up to our expectations depends less on what's outside than what's inside. Human character tends to shape the events and experiences of life. Our tremendous responsibility as parents is to nurture a human soul, foster its spiritual growth, cultivate the crucial development of our child's character. As a window lets light reach inside, the teaching of moral and religious truth lets faith find its rightful place in each youthful heart.

I've been hearing a lot about "noise pollution" lately. Exactly what is it? Can it cause problems with hearing? A. Like other types of pollution (air, water, etc.), noise pollution involves releasing excessive contaminants - in this case loud sounds - into our environment. Our modem society is a very noisy one. We experience loud noise practically everywhere - at our Jobs, in our entertainment and recreation, even in our homes. And yes, noise pollution can definitely affect your hearing. Any loud noise - an explosion, a jet plane taking off, the clatter of industrial machinery - puts stress on the delicate "hair cells” of the inner ear. Prolonged exposure can eventually damage or destroy these cells, resulting in a permanent hearing loss. This often happens to people who work around loud noises and do not wear hearing protection. This could include airport employees, punch press operators, riveters, jackhammer operators, etc. Forty-six percent of workers in high noise level jobs have hearing problems. That’s almost half! Noise is no laughing matter. It's a serious hazard to your hearing. 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. lii-thY Iliirinp11iniu|jli I’mfi-Miimul (jnWINCHESTERi ' (703)667-6222 630 Millwood Avenue Mort.-Fri. 9-5; Set 9-12 Noon WOODSTOCK!

Hints offered for jams and jellies By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economice Summer fruits are becoming plentiful and many fine cooks are busy trying their hand at jam and jelly making. Preserving fruits with sugar is an old method that is both a science and an art. In order to achieve the delicate balance found in jelly, three ingredients are essential: (1) pectin, a carbohydrate found in certain fruits, especially the skins and cores, that forms the framework of jellies. (2) sugar, which stretches and tenderizes the pectin. (3) acid that toughens the pectin. In the days before liquid and powdered pectin became widely available, only those fruits naturally high in pectin could be used to make jelly. Among them were tart green apples, crab apples, quinces, sour wild plums, certain grapes, cranberries and gooseberries. As the old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Before long resourceful women had learned that by mixing the high pectin juice of apples or quinces with that of peaches, pears, and strawberries, jellies could be made from these beloved low-pectin fruits also. Despite all good efforts, this method was “chancey” at best because there was no exact formula to tell how much pectin a fruit juice contained nor whether it would jell when boiled up with sugar. Years ago our great-grandmothers mixed a teaspoon of cold extracted fruit juice with a teaspoon of grain alcohol. This method became known as the “sheeting test.” If the solid jelly-like mass formed was broken, they would use only threefourths as much sugar as juice, and if the alcohol test produced curds, they would use exactly half as much sugar as fruit juice. This “old fashioned” method was scarcely foolproof, however. Indeed, if a jelly didn’t “set-up” the first time around - and frequently it didn’t - the homemaker would empty all of the jars and begin again. The second time particular attention was given to the “sheeting test. ” When commercial fruit pectins were introduced in 1929, the “sheeting test” became all but obsolete. The first was a viscous liquid extracted from apples; then five years later, pectin powder taken from citrus rinds was introduced. In 1984 a “super” powdered pectin also known as light pectin was introduced. This new pectin enables a homemaker to make jelly using one-third less sugar. Fortunately for us the commercial pectins on the market today have not only shortened the long jelly and jam-making process, but also allowed the procedure to become virtually fail-safe provided package directions are followed to the letter and liquid pectin is not substituted for powdered or vice versa. Frequently we receive questions about making jam and jelly. Here are the answers to some of the most asked questions. May I reduce the amount of sugar in jam and jelly recipes'! A jam or jelly requires a certain proportion of fruit, sugar and pectin to set correctly. If too little sugar is used, the mixture will not set and will remain a syrup.

Never reduce the amount of sugar called for in a recipe. Can I make a smaller batch of jam or jelly than what the recipe specifies? To make a smaller batch, divide all ingredient amounts in half, writing them down. Do not change anything else in the recipe, including the times given. Mix powdered fruit pectin well before measuring it; half of a package has 2 1/2 level measuring tablespoons. What causes thin jams and jellies? There could be too little pectin, acid or sugar to make a balanced proportion. Use only fresh commercial pectin. Discard any packages that are outdated. Overly ripe fruit may also prevent proper jelling. The selected fruit should contain about one-third underripe fruits which contain more acid. If the fruit mixture seems unusually sweet or bland, add two to four tablespoons fresh lemon juice before measuring. Never omit lemon juice if it is called for in a recipe. Jellies sometime take a week or so to reach a good final set. Don’t judge the set too soon. Can jelly be recooked if it does not set properly? Jellies made with commercially prepared pectin can be recooked to make the set firmer. Follow directions carefully. To remake with powdered pectin measure the jelly to be recooked. For each 4 cups of jelly, you’ll need 1/4 cup water, 4 teaspoons powdered pectin and 1/4 cup sugar. Combine the pectin and water in a deep saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add jelly and sugar. Stir thoroughly. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Keep a full rolling boil for 1/2 minute. Remove jelly from the heat, skim, pour into hot containers, and seal. to remaKe witn liquid pectin, measure the jelly to be recooked. For each 4 cups jelly, you’ll need 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons liquid pectin. Bring jelly to boil over high heat. Quickly add the sugar, lemon juice and pectin and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil mixture hard for 1 minute. Remove jelly from heat, skim, pour into hot containers, and seal. What causes excessive foaming onjelly? The use of overripe fruits can cause excessive foaming. Also allowing the fruit to stand after it has been mashed may make it foam. Stirring the mixture too rapidly will cause foaming. The addition of 1/4 teaspoon margarine or butter to prepared mixture just before bringing to a boil will rteduce^o&ffliflg;'r What is light fruit pectin? Light fruit pectin is a special formulation designed for making reduced-sugar (1/3 less) homemade jams and jellies. Cooking directions are similar to those used with regular fruit pectin with one important exception: the light fruit pectin is mixed with part of the sugar before it is added to the prepared fruit or juice. Follow directions on the package. Because light fruit pectin sets faster than regular pectin, trapped air bubbles are more common. This can result in jelly that is slightly less clear. Light pectin tends to make for a firmer set. Jars should be filled to within 1/8 inch of the top and processed in boiling water for 10 minutes. Can I make double batches'! Some cooks report good results when recipes are doubled, but as a general ride, doubling is not recommended. To allow for the expansion of boiling mixtures, a pan must be less than half full of fruit and sugar to permit a full rolling boil. For most recipes, the yield is too great to be accommodated in commonly avail(See JELLIES, page 12) Real Estate fg> Eileen M. Day realtor . ss.'ks REDUCING TAX ON SALE PROFIT If you are selling your home there are ways to reduce the federal tax from any profit you make. If you buy or build a new residence within a period of two years before or after selling your home, the entire gain may be deferred if the purchase price of the new residence exceeds the adjusted sale price of the old residence (gross sale price minus the costs linked to selling the house — like the broker’s commission). . Also a taxpayer at least SS years old is eligible for a once-in-a-lifetime exclusion of up to $125,000 of gain on property used as a principal residence for at least three years of the proceeding five year period. Another method of reducing the federal tax is to establish a higher tax basis for the home being sold. The tax basis is the original cost plus capital improvements. Examples of capital improvements are added rooms, a remodeled kitchen, a new roof, central air conditioning, or a new swimming pool. Keep receipts for all of these improvements.

On Sunday evening, beginning at 7 p.m., the Fire Squad will perform on the steps of the Culpeper County Courthouse. Once again, organizers suggest blankets, lawn chairs and picnics be brought, and the requested donation will be $1 per person. At both concerts, folding chairs will be available for the convenience of senior citizens, and refreshments will also be sold by local organizations during the intermission. “Bluemont is a volunteer-based organization,” the spokesman said. “Our volunteers do much of the work that makes these community concerts a reality.

No one knows what interest rates are going to do in the next few years. Today, interest on an adjustable-rate mortgage is 2-3% less than on a fixed-rate mortgage. So, it pays to go with the adjustable-rate for now. But, what if tomorrow interest rates start to skyrocket, as they have in the past? Then, for your peace of mind, it would be best to have a fixed-rate mortgage. And if rates go down you would also want to lock them up with a fixed-rate mortgage. Can you have it both ways? The Best Of Both Worlds! The answer is yes! That’s just what the Flexible Mortgage Plan at VSB is all about. It is an adjustable-rate mortgage, which gives you impressive savings right off the bat. (See chart.) But, at any time during the first five years, you can convert to a fixed-rate mortgage. The decision to convert and the timing is solely your decision. And the conversion privilege is guaranteed.* So, you see, it is possible to have the best of both worlds. The Flexible Mortgage Plan. Designed for savings today - and peace of mind tomorrow.

What causes sugar crystals in no-cook freezer jam! Stirring fruit and sugar occasionally rather than continuously will cause sugar crystals. Also stirring fruit and sugar less than the full three minutes according to directions can cause them. Fruit not crushed thoroughly enough will not form enough juice to combine with the sugar. Note that some sugar crystals may remain after stirring three minutes but they will dissolve as jam sets in jars. / Betty Hinkell shares her prize winning Pepper Jelly Recipe that brought her a blue ribbon at the CMR Farm Show: Pepper Jelly 61/2 cups sugar 11/2 cups cider vinegar 1/4 cup hot peppers, finely chopped 3/4 cup bell peppers, finely chopped 1 bottle certo 4-5 drops of green food coloring (optional) Combine sugar and vinegar.

For those who may prefer jellies having less sugar the Light Nectarine Jelly will certainly complement buttered toast or hot biscuits.

Rappahannock brings home the bacon from Farm Show By MARNIE TURMAN ■■ppahaiuiutk News Staff Intern Rappahannock County residents put in a strong showing at the Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show, held last weekend in Culpeper. County participants numbered among their awards a Grand Champion (Michael Brown), a First Champion (Missy Hinkell), a Reserve Champion (Tyrone Starks), a Best in Show (Amy Richardson) as well as a score of first place finishes and at least a dozen blue ribbons. In the 4-H age group, Michael Brown earned a Grand Champion prize for the first time and a second place finish in the Market Lamb category. He also placed fourth in the Fitting and Showing category for lambs. Mike bought his champion lamb from Randall Updike at an auction Mr. Updike held in May. Since then, Mike has been feeding and preparing the lamb for the show. It was sold at the . Livestock Sale Monday evening. ’ Elizabeth Oliver received a first place prize in the market steer competition, as well as four sewing competitions. She made a skirt and blouse with fabric from the Rush River Company in Washington. She also made an apron, a laundry bag, a trapunto pillow and a hand puppet. She took home a total of seven first place awards, as well as a second place in the string art competition for her geometric design. Susannah McNear, who has been competing in the CMR Farm Show for six years, won second place in the Fitting and Showing competition for lambs and fourth and fifth place in the Market Lamb category. After taking a break from horseback riding, Susannah began taking riding lessons again last October. Her lessons obviously helped since she placed fifth in the Equestrian division. Susannah also competed in the Stockman’s Contest. The contest consists of questions about medicines, breeds, identifying grains and tools. Another part of the competition was judging. Each contestant had to judge sheep, cows, market lambs, beef and pigs. In the Barn Display category, Susannah and her sister Laura placed second. In this competition each person or team made a project, preferably education-related, about farming. Susannah created a calendar of the important dates in the itUv lamb ^owing’ Justin (left center), Rob Reeve (kneeling) and*Scotde Updike (second from nght) were among the county’s representatives. raising of a lamb. Her sister made a chart of the parts of a lamb. Amy Richardson, another Rappahannock 4-Her, placed first in the Barn Display competition. In the open class, Flo Duvall competed in the Make-Over category. In this category contestants take throw-away items and try to make something useful out of it. Mrs. Duvall made a skirt out of silk ties, and received a blue ribbon for her effort. She also entered a pillow in the sewing competition. It had lace edges and a butterfly, and earned her a white ribbon. Lillian Crews entered an apple pie in the Baking Competition. She said that the pie was a combination between a “Crisco” crust and the way her mother made apple pies. It took first place and earned a blue ribbon. Mrs. Crews, well-known around Rappahannock County for her talents as a seamstress, entered the wedding dress she made for her daughter and won a blue ribbon in the Dressy Dress competition. She also entered a dress which she made for a lady from Alexandria (who hadn’t picked it up yet) and again she took first place, and a blue ribbon, in the Casual Dress category. In the Pre-4-H age group, for children eight and under, Scottie (8), Justin (6), and Katie (4) Updike all competed in the costume competition for lambs. In this category each person dressed themselves and their lamb up in a costume. Scottie dressed up as Paul Revere and Baby Ruth, his lamb, was his horse. Justin and Hopper were shepherds, and Katie and Sarah wore clown costumes. The complete list of county contestants in the Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Show appears below.

That’s the question that the Rappahannock School Board has asked Dr. David Gangel, its new superintendent, to answer. Information on the financial incentives for school division consolidation was passed on to the superintendent at the School Board’s meeting July 14 with a request for ftirther study and a later report. The information came from county accountant Wally Cox via the Board of Supervisors. In a client bulletin dated May 25, Mr. Cox noted that if Rappahannock should consolidate with another school division, the county’s new composite index figure would be lower, meaning more in basic aid from Richmond. (The composite index is a figure derived from a formula based on property values, sales tax revenue and personal income by which a locality’s ability to pay for education is figured and which determines the amount of aid for education the locality receives from the state. Due to land values here, Rappahannock’s composite index is among Virginia’s highest, leaving the county judged well able to pay for education with local dollars.) According to Mr. Cox, should Rappahannock merge its schools with another locality, the governing body could ask the State Board of Education for the lower of the composite indices of the consolidating school divisions. Mr. Cox cited the Alleghany Highlands consolidated school division as an example of the financial benefits, calling it “the forerunner of the new policy, for that consolidation of Clifton Forge and Alleghany County school divisions currently receives $140,415 additional basic state school aid on the basis of the composite index computed for Alleghany County separately.” He points out that this consolidation option is available to all school divisions. While citing the financial benefits, the accountant does acknowledge possible drawbacks in consolidation. “Special attention must be given to allocation of the costs of capital improvements and debt service and the disposition of existing property in the event of dissolution. And the most difficult problems may relate to certain nonfinancial matters such as composition of the new School Board and the budget approval process,” Mr. Cox notes. The School Board viewed the negatives as outweighing the positives of consolidation. Chairman Beverly Massie recalled that Rappahannock had been part of a consolidated system with neighboring Warren County from 1917 until 1975 “when Warren County felt they needed a full-time superintendent. Then Rappahannock County was on its own.” During the 58 years of joint management, • “there were times when we felt, rightly or wrongly, that Rappahannock got the teachers Warren County didn’t want,” Mrs. Massie said. Since leaving this “step-child syndrome” behind and becoming an independent school division, Rappahannock has made great strides, she said, adding that Rappahannock’s high composite index will make the county “less marketable” for consolidation. “Other school divisions may not want to pay a higher proportionate share than they are now.” Board member Paul Nichols pointed out that the consolidation cited by Mr. Cox involved the merger of a town school system with a county’s. “If Washington, Virginia, had a school system, it would be sensible to consolidate with them,” he agreed. But with a neighboring county, Mr. Nichols wasn’t so sure. “Rappahannock’s assets would have to be deeded to the other county, or theirs to Rappahannock,” said the veteran board member who served as Wakefield’s representative during consolidation with Warren. “Therefore it would be a real hard thing to do.” “Deciding what we feel is best for our children has quite a bit more weight than dollars,” added board member Nancy Reeve. Bill Oliver expressed uncertainty as to the financial advantages claimed by Mr. Cox. “Aside from that, I think it’s a step in the wrong direction to give over control of our school system.” “We wouldn’t have near the amount of input,” agreed board member Bryant Lee. “We’d be on the bottom rung of the ladder.” By consensus, the board agreed to await the superintendent’s study and report before giving the supervisors an official response on the consolidation option. Unexpended funds from 1986-87 cover capital outlay deficit Earlier this year, when the School Board opted to proceed with the capital outlay project at the high school, it was with a deficit of $58,000 between the contractor’s bid and the amount of money available through the state’s low interest Literary Fund loan. Last month, the supervisors approved the carry-over of $41,000 unexpended in the 1986-87 school budget, provided educational components - science lab equipment, science demonstration room and the expanded library - are given priority over seating for the new auditorium and bleachers for the new gym. Dr. Gangel reported that an additional $17,000 in federal and state aid for education came in to the treasurer’s office after the June 30 deadline for expenditures from last year’s budget. The supervisors will be asked for authority to carry this over as well. “That would give us a total of $58,000, approximately what we lack for fixed furnishings for the capital outlay project,” he reported. As to the expansion project itself, “at this point, everything seems to be right on target,” said Dr. Gangel. He anticiaptes that the two new classrooms across the hall from the shop will be ready when school opens. According to plans, the science lab, remodeled science lecture room and library should also be completed by the time students return. “The only potential hold-ups could be supplies,” he said, relaying a possibility that the contractor has reportedly mentioned several times. “If the supplies aren’t there, obviously he can’t put them in,” the superintendent concluded. School Board defers on r request Tidua $ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON St Rappahannock New* Staff Writer » In a split decision, Rappahanx nock’s School Board balked at deny2 ing a request for religious $ instruction on school time .and in( stead directed the administration to study the issue and report back. Ji At the board’s meeting July 14, 11 Superintendent Dr. David Gangel \ | reported that Mason Hutchinson has |> asked for permission to bring a moil bile classroom called a “rolling cha\ j pel” to a site near the school grounds t> and provide non-denominational & Christian instruction to those chil? dren whose parents give their ap) proval. According to Mr. Hut( chinson’s letter, similar religious in? struction is offered to children at) tending the public schools in ( Madison, Greene and Culpeper ? counties and the constitutionality of ? the program has been upheld by the < courts. i[ Mr. Hutchinson’s assertion not withstanding, School Board member 11 Bryant Lee challenged the legality j[ of providing religious instruction through the schools. “There have 11 been a lot of legal cases on that in the !j past several years,” he noted, quesji tioning whether the “rolling chapel” j! would violate the requirement for |; separation of church and state. He •| also suggested checking with the i| neighboring counties to see how the | J program has fared there, “its advan| tages and disadvantages.” 11 Chairman Beverly Massie mainS| tained that the board must take into 11 account the demands of the educatioi| nal curriculum. “Is there any unj| structured time in the school day?” >i she asked, requesting the adminisi| trators make this determination. j| But she noted that Mr. Hutchinson, the former VPI Extension agent in s Culpeper County, has worked ex tensively with youngsters in the 4-H program. “Knowing the individual involved makes everyone so much more comfortable in matters of this kind.” Seconding Mr. Lee’s concern regarding separation of church and state, board member Paul Nichols pointed to a related summer camp program and wondered whether the rolling chapel’s classes might be a veiled attempt at “selling the rest of the family.” “It has a promotional aspect,” conceded Nancy Reeve. “If parents want their kids to go, they can take them to this thing, but it shouldn’t be on school time,” Mr. Nichols said. “If the parents want it, the trailer can be put somewhere easily accessible and the kids who want to can go, but not on school time.” His motion to deny the “rolling chapel” request was seconded by Mr. Lee. The two men voted for the denial; Mrs. Massie voted against it, while Mrs. Reeve and Bill Oliver abstained. “So Mr. Nichols’ motion fails,” the chairman concluded, counting the abstentions as nays. A second motion sending the request to the administration for “further study” passed unanimously. New graduation requirements In the time set aside for questions from the audience, Sharon Kilpatrick asked if planning has begun for implementation of the state’s new graduation requirements, which will take effect beginning in 1992. Reportedly, the State Department of Education has called for three additional course units for an academic diploma and two for the general diploma, Mrs. Kilpatrick told the board. Dr. Gangel confirmed that the State Board had recently passed those requirements and that he will soon take up the matter with the Rappahannock County School Board. The graduating class of 1992 will need 21 units of credit for a general diploma and 23 for an academic diploma, the superintendent said, adding that the new requirements fall primarily in the arts category. Mrs. Kilpatrick noted that world culture and world geography will be necessary for graduation in addition to the social studies courses already required. “There are many, many, many changes,” Dr. Gangel agreed. Reading lab program changes Mrs. Kilpatrick also asked why the primary reading lab at the elementary school has been discontinued. “It has not been dropped,” Mrs. Massie replied. She reported that Dr. Gangel has reviewed the reading lab program and that it will continue in 1987-88 “as it was run in 1986-87.” She conceded that the curriculum changed this past year, that a “different approach” had been taken. Previously, remedial help was offered in the reading lab on the basis of the classroom teachers’ directions, she said. More recently, however, “other problems” were looked at, resulting in “individual programs geared to what the children needed.” This past year, “children were brought up to speed in the lab so they could go back to their regular classroom and keep up,” the chairman said.

Plan (Continued from Page 1) WSA chairman Woodard and Mr. Baumgardner. “For any landowner, we must establish proof that th« property doesn’t fall within the sin gle exception to the mandator} hook-up, so the Health Department is a party to any proceeding w« might bring,” said Mr. Baum gardner, noting that the WSA has repeatedly asked the department foi a written assessment on Mr. Atkins disposal system but that none has been received to date. “We have not been able to determine an obvious and imminent health hazard that would enable us to take legal action against the property owner,” said regional supervisor Charles Shepherd. He maintained that the WSA can act without any involvement from the Health Department since the Authority’s charter incorporates the mandatory hook-up provision. “They have not felt they needed to implement (the provision) at this time,” he contended. According to Mr. Shepherd, who said he met with Mr. Woodard, Mr. Baumgardner and Mr. Lockhart, the Authority has received reports of an illegal discharge of waste water but will not identify the individual making the allegation. On visiting the property in question, the Health Department’s sanitarian could find no evidence of that discharge, Mr. Shepherd said. “If we saw sewage on the ground,” or if an individual who has seen such a discharge is willing to testify to the fact in court, then the Health Department could instigate legal action, he said. “But we have to have something positive like that... We can’t even start on a case unless we’re 90 percent sure.” He said that the matter had been referred to the State Water Control Board in Richmond where it has been assigned a PREP (pollution response) number for further investigation. According to Mr. Shepherd, the law governing the two state agencies differs significantly. Before taking any action in a case such as that in Sperry ville, “we have to establish a health hazard exists,” he explained. “But the State Water Control Board’s charter gives them a unique approach. If they find something suspicious, the burden of proof falls on the property owner to show that there is no problem.” According to Mr. Shepherd, the Health Department has those broad powers only when a permit is involved for a restaurant, service station, school, day care center or other operation serving the public. Then if there’s a “vague suspicion of an illegal discharge,” the permit holder must take “extraordinary measures” to prove to the Health Department that the sewage disposal system is functioning properly. With a new dwelling in the Sperryville service district, the WSA’s charter and the Health Department’s regulations require “written certification” of compliance with applicable Health Department standards in order for it to be exempted from the mandatory hook-up provision, Mr. Shepherd said. He conceded that Mr. Atkins’ sewage disposal system does not meet current standards and that neither the flood plain septic tank nor the backup pit privy could be approved new today, but that they’re “grandfathered in as thousands upon thousands of others are.” While never referring to Mr. Atkins specifically - “Whenever there’s the possibility of litigation, we won’t name the individuals” — Mr. Shepherd acknowledged that the hold-out poses a problem. “Even with no imminent health hazard, we do see our responsibility and we want to help . . . We don’t want the appearance in the community that the Health Department can’t be bothered. We don’t like that image ... If someone brings us clear evidence of a malfunctioning septic system, we’ll certainly move on it,” Mr. Shepherd affirmed. No file in Richmond According to the State Water Comtrol Board’s spokesman in Richmond, no pollution response number has been assigned to the connection hold-out case. “That’s for oil spills, chemical spills, those types of emergencies,” he said. “Sewage is considered to be a health matter and the standard operating procedure is to refer the problem to the local sanitarian.” Checking the files, he found that the matter had been referred by Mr. Shepherd to the SWCB’s Richmond headquarters but that the information had been passed on to the SWCB’s Northern Virginia office. “We have an interest in it . . . But we’re not the heavies who come in and lean on people in cases like this.” Gary Moore from the SWCB’s Northern Virginia branch said that the Water Control Bbard’s involvement in pushing for construction of a Sperryville sewer system had centered on elimination of the “straight pipes” carrying waste water directly to the Thornton River “as opposed to malfunctioning in-ground systems.” Mr. Moore maintained that the connection hold-out presents “no real clear cut problem.” He said he’d spoken with Mr. Shepherd and according to the regional supervisor, the Health Department has dyetested the system four times without finding any indication of a direct sewage discharge into the river. With no evidence of a direct pipe discharge and no sign of sewage on the ground, the SWCB cannot conclude that a water quality problem exists, Mr. Moore said. And even if the septic tank system could be shown to be malfunctioning, Mr. Atkins has an approved pit privy, Mr. Moore pointed out. “We’re taking Mr. Shepherd’s word on this... It would be a waste of time to send our staff to investigate,” he concluded. The man who finds a truth lights a torch. —Robert Green Ingersoll Eileen M.

When it ambled into the large, six-foot long round steel drum, it tripped the trap door, a steel plate which slammed down behind it. When the Hutchesons got to the trap, they found an unhappy bear staring at them through the wire mesh on the trap’s other end. Warden Blank said that his favorite bait is ham scraps. He said that many things work, including honey and peanut butter, “but you can imagine how expensive that gets!” And using most other meat or fish scraps, “after a few days you need a gas mask to clean out the trap,” he said. Warden Blank winched the trap, which rests on long steel skids, onto the back of his pickup and took the bear to Luray, where he transferred it to the charge of one of the Commission’s game management specialists. All of the bears trapped in the Blue Ridge Mountains and their environs, he said, are taken into the George Washington National Forest, located in the Alleghany Mountains on the Virginia-West Virginia border. None is released in the Shenandoah National Park, he stressed. Also, those trapped in the north are released in the southern part of the forest, and vice versa. The game specialists hope that this “crisscross” pattern will lessen the chances of a bear returning to its former stomping grounds. Apparently, the strategy works. Of “two hundred and thirty-some” bears captured in six years of trapping, Warden Blank has had only one return. He smiled and added that, actually, “it feels like I’ve been doing this all my life.” Jerry’s dad, Gerald, was the Game Commission’s trapping specialist for 23 years before retiring almost eight years ago. The bears trapped by the Commission become part of an ongoing study of Virginia’s bear population, Warden Blank added. Before being released, they undergo a physical, have blood drawn for a parasite count, a tooth is pulled and they are weighed and have an ear tag affixed for tracking and identification purposes. The three bears caught in Mr. Foster’s orchard weighed 275 pounds, 211 pounds, and “about 125 pounds,” he said. Mr. Foster said the damage done by the bears is significant. Usually, he gets “about 200 bushels of white peaches” from two acres of trees. “We’ll be lucky to get 20 bushels this year. We’ve only got seven or eight peach trees left.” Asked to put a price tag on the mmm. NUGGETS OF TRUTH By Rev. Robert Dunphy, Pastor, Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. GREETINGS TO ALL GOO’S PEOPLE Open your Bible to Ephesians 4:32. Please read all of the scriptures we mention. If you do not have a Bible, please call or write me and I will send you one free of charge. Also read Mark 11 ;25 & 28 and Luke 7:37. Friends, Jesus had a lot to say about forgiveness and I know there are a lot of Christians that have hate in their hearts tor someone. Many of these same Christians wonder why they are not walking through life in God’s blessing. Study these sriptures and ask the Father to show you where you are missing it. I know some will be shown their problem. God said in Isaiah 43:25, "I even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and will not remember your sins." Also read Ezekiel 33:16. So, if our Father God can forgive and forget, why can't we? Finally, read I Peter 2;21 thru 23. May God by in you and bless you this week.

It’s not just the loss of production for this year. Standing beside a young apple tree, its seven-foot high trunk broken halfway up, its branches sticking out parallel to the ground, he explained, “It’s hard to set damage. He has hurt this tree for the rest of its life. “We can’t even get an orchard started, can’t set out young trees. It’s no use setting out peaches, but I didn’t think he’d fool with apples.” Sometimes, Mr. Fo.‘er added, he can’t even see the point of the bears tearing up the trees. “I just don’t see the sense when there’s not even any apples on the trees - it’s just meanness, I guess.” The barbed wire fence surrounding the orchard “don’t bother them.” The small bears go under the lower strand, and the larger ones push down on the top strand and go over, he said, pointing to several places where the wires sagged noticeably, and tufts of bear hair were visible. If the wire snags, the bear’s thick fur and layers of fat and muscle protect it from serious iiyury. The complaints about bear damage are not limited to Rappahannock County, Warden Bankston said. “They are up all over the state, although this is not a record year.” That record, he said, occurred seven or eight years ago, when 11 were taken from the Fosters’ orchards during a period running from August to August. Apparently, Warden Blank theorized, there are plenty of bear around. During the recent hot weather they have been staying in the cooler, shady areas up in the mountains, but now that the weather has moderated they will start moving again, he said. The two trapped Sunday night are evidence of that. Mr. Bankston added that the Game Commission reported a record bear kill last hunting season. And, the Park Service has revised their estimate of the bear population in Shenandoah National Park, doubling the previous figure to 600. “They need room,” he said. When the bears spread out as the population climbs, naturally they head down out of the park where their numbers are highest and into populated areas, running into people — and problems — almost immediately.

The park is about 300 square miles in area, and a population of 600 is two bears per square mile, he said. He thinks that’s too little room for the creatures, who roam over a wide area in search of food. But, as the Game Commission’s sole trapping specialist, he handles all the bears captured in the state, and he doesn’t dispute the fact that there’s a problem, one which has existed since his dad was the Commission’s trapper. “We’ve had trouble for 15 or 20 years,” Mr. Foster recalled. “And you always will,” Warden Blank agreed. “Yeah,” Mr. Foster replied, “as long as the park is there.” Aide (Continued from Page 1) the superintendent maintained that if there was an error in exceeding the act’s authority, the error was his. “If anyone deserves to have their fingers slapped, it should be me,” he concluded.
