Flint Hill carnival marred by accident By LOU HATTER Rappahannock N«w* Staff Writer The Flint Hill firemen’s carnival, traditionally the last and largest of the county’s summer events, had its festive atmosphere shaken last Thursday evening. Two of the buckets on a small ferris wheel for children became entangled, and, , according to witnesses, before the ride could be stopped five of the six buckets were hanging almost upside down. The terrified children were removed from the buckets by their parents and other bystanders who climbed onto the ride, and none suffered serious injuries. Several witnesses alleged that the ride’s operator, Ralph Nelson, had left his post at the ferris wheel. R. C. Cole, the ride’s owner, said Friday morning that the operator had stepped back from the machine to look at the “Moonwalk” ride, which was adjacent to the ferris wheel, and that he quickly returned to the machine. Mr. Cole’s account was disputed by several parents who had children on the ride. They alleged that Mr. Nelson walked down the midway and had left a young girl at the controls of the ferris wheel. Terry Seal of Front Royal, whose 21month-old daughter was riding the ferris wheel, said that she was standing by the ride with her husband, her 14-year-old cousin, Crystal Seal, and two other relatives when the operator turned to the young girl and asked her to watch the ride. Mrs. Seal said, “She turned to me and said, ‘Can you believe that he told me to watch this?’ ” The words were barely out of her mouth, Mrs. Seal added, when someone screamed and she realized that the cars were becoming tangled. “She was just a bystander,” Mrs. Seal said of her cousin. “She didn’t know how to turn it off.” Mtb. Seal said that she immediately jumped onto the ride to try to get some children off, and was struck in the back by a still-moving car behind her. Before the ride was stopped, five of the six buckets were either tipped upside down or tilted yjdOTrays, shesaid. - *lt was -ihe iaftatteggihik experience<*» I’ve ever ggne through in my life,” she recalled. “You could see the fear in those kids’ eyes - hanging on for dear life.” Fortunately, she said, “it was just a matter of seconds” before the bystanders who rushed to the aid of the children managed to get them all off the ride before any fell out of the upturned buckets. “The operator never got back to help the kids off,” Mrs. Seal said. When Mr. Nelson did return, she said her husband asked him where he had been. “None of your-business,” she said he replied. i I* IU|ip*iMaiiock Newt photo/Lou Hatter ON FRIDAY MORNING, workers begin taking apart the ferris wheel which malfunctioned Thursday night.

Karen Foster of Chester Gap, whose two children were riding the ferris wheel, said that she saw the operator talking with the woman operating the “Moonwalk” ride. She added that another individual told her that they saw the two disappear behind the “Moonwalk.” He did not reappear at the ferris wheel until after it had been stopped and several children had already been helped qff, she said. She said the operator later admitted that he had walked off with the woman behind the ~Mom\Walk . —■■ . ff-rv-T^m.ri.1 nn ■ - Debra Berens, a Sperryville resident Whose youftg son was one of the children on the ride, said that the operator was not in the vicinity of the ride. “I was the one who shut off the machine,” she said. Mr. Cole came to the carnival grounds after hearing of the accident, and at his insistence Mrs. Foster and her two children were taken to Warren Memorial Hospital and examined Thursday evening. Mrs. Foster said that her seven-year-old (See ACCIDENT, page 18) Parade draws many entries, large crowd By MARNIE TURMAN Rappahannock New* Staff Intern Highlighting the Flint Hill firemen’s parade last Thursday evening was its perennial favorite, the newly crowned Miss Virginia. This year it was Northern Virginia’s Heidi Lammi, who after leading the parade helped judge the entries. According to parade organizer Moe Walker, more than 100 fire and rescue units from as far away as Southern Maryland traveled to Flint Hill for the annual event. And crowds lined the streets on both sides of the parade route, craning their necks for a look at the gleaming equipment, the variety of civic floats, the high school bands, majorettes, drum and bugle corps, clowns and other comic entries which swelled the ranks and jammed the streets. A number of awards were given to the fire and rescue companies which participated in the parade. The Best Appearing Fire Department award was split into two categories: communities with less than 500 population and those greater than 500. First place for towns of more than 500 population went to the Orange Volunteer Fire Department, second place went to Spotsylvania VFD and third place was won by Warrenton VFD. For communities of less than 500 population, first place was won by Lois VFD of Fauquier County, second place went to Brandy Station VFD in Culpeper County, and third place was awarded to Rappahannock’s own Chester Gap VFD. Sperryville VFD took home the trophy for the Best Appearing Brush Truck, with second place going to neighboring Salem VFD. Warren County’s Fort Valley VFD was judged to have the Best Appearing Attack Unit, and North Mountain VFD took home the second place trophy in that category. The Best Appearing Tanker award was won by Marbury, Maryland’s Tgnth. ” * brought a huge* District VFD, which 3,000-gallon tanker equipped with a foam unit. The truck was so large that it could not negotiate the turn from Rt. 522 onto the Fodderstack Road, and had to continue up Rt. 522 and enter the carnival grounds from another direction. Marbury also took home the trophy for the fire department travelling the greatest distance to the parade. The award for the Oldest Piece of (See PARADE, page 18) Trash: Committee calls for ‘responsible waste policies9 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Jackson District Citizens Committee may have lost round one with the elimination Monday of the requirement for a special exception permit for a county-owned and operated landfill, but environmental consultant Larry Silverman was ready at the bell for round two: compliance with Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. Within minutes of the vote, Mr. Silverman handed out copies of a policy paper focused on the comprehensive planning process. “We will have lots of opportunity to talk to the state people. We will have lots of opportunity to talk to the federal people. But the people we really need to talk to are here in this room,” Mr. Silverman told the supervisors, adding that the Committee is trying to take “a cooperative stance” and establish a dialogue with the board. In the manifesto, Mr. Silverman sets out the common interests he sees as shared by all county residents: • Cost of waste management and potential for liability. • Environmental degradation of the Rappahannock River, Elk Run and other small streams, wetlands and underground aquifers. “An inadequately funded waste facility is like an uninsured motorist driving an uninspected vehicle, that is, a menace to the public.” Larry Silverman Consultant • Damage to wildlife. • Potential for pollution of groundwater, excessive traffic, use of the landfill by unauthorized dumpers and explosions and fires at the site. He noted particular concern over the lack of a capital plan for waste management which he contends is called for in the county’s comprehensive plan. “An inadequately financed waste facility is like an uninsured motorist driving an uninspected vehicle, that is, a menace to the public,” Mr. Silverman maintained. The first element of the missing capital plan should be the proper closure of Clifton Clark’s privately owned and operated landfill near Woodville, according to the environmental consultant. Discontinuing use of that current landfill, which is to happen this December, “changes but does not lessen the danger to its neighbors,” he said, adding that “most of the horror stories one reads about landfills are about abandoned or discontinued facilities.” (See POLICY, p. 17) No special permit needed for county dump By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer With copies of a legal opinion in hand on Monday, Rappahannock’s supervisors enacted an amendment to relieve the county of compliance with the terms of its own zoning ordinance. The immediate impact will be to negate the requirement for the board to issue a special exception permit to itself for the proposed sanitary landfill on the 100-acre Stover tract near Amissville. Hydrological and soil studies on the site off Route 211 have been completed with copies now in Richmond for evaluation by the State Department of Solid Waste Man-agement. (The report is also on file at the clerk’s office and the zoning office here in Rappahannock where it can be reviewed by interested parties.) Should the state rule the site suitable for solid waste disposal and grant the necessary permits, the board will follow through on a contingency contract and purchase the 100 acres for $186,000. The amendment’s passage means that no lo cal permits are needed. The amendment adopted at Monday’s board meeting was initially advertised for public hearing by the Planning Commission in June and the Board of Supervisors in July. Tacked on to the end of a list of technical “housekeeping” changes to the newly approved zoning ordinance, it drew no public comment at the commission’s hearing. Neither did the commissioners mention the implication of the change, which reads simply that “the county of Rap-pahannock shall be exempted from the terms hereby with respect to any activity, structure or project undertaken by it which is required by law.” But publicity as to its practical application brought opposition from Amissville to the Board of Supervisors’ hearing. Representatives from the Jackson District Citizens Committee asked for an opinion from Peter Luke, Commonwealth’s Attorney who also serves as county attorney and legal advisor to the board. Deferring to that request, the board postponed action until August’s meeting. Noting that the amendment had been properly advertised for public hearing by both the planning commissioners and supervisors, Mr. Luke concluded in a written memo that necessary procedural prerequisites had been met for adoption. As to the legality of the exemption itself, he cited a 1971 opinion from the state’s Attorney General which held: “A state, county, municipality or other government body using property for governmental purposes ordinarily is not subject to zoning regulations. The disposition of garbage and rubbish constitutes a government function.” Accordingly, the Attorney General concluded that a landfill operation in connection with a garbage collection and disposal business constituted a governmental function. The same question, this time from Madison County, was asked in 1984: Did the Madison County Board of Supervisors have to apply for and obtain a special use permit under its own (See EXCEPTION, page 17) Toth is new principal After serving 11 years as second in command, John Toth has moved up to take the helm at Rappahannock County High School. Following a three and a half hour executive session at a special meeting Monday night to interview three candidates for the post of RCHS principal, the School Board voted unanimously to offer the job to the current assistant principal. “It will be a hard act to follow,” said Mr. Toth in a telephone interview Tuesday. “Bob Chappell did an excellent job as principal,” he said of his predecessor who resigned to take the assistant superintendent’s post last month. “I hope to do a good job in my own way of running the school.” A graduate of the University of Alabama with a bachelor of science degree, Mr. Toth taught science at RCHS from 1970 to 1976 before becomming assistant principal. Married with two children, he resides in Page County. The new RCHS principal sees 1987-88 as “a trying year” with (See TOTH, p. 18) No lab; no money Superintendent David Gangel promised the Board of Supervisors that the expansion project will leave Rappahannock County High School with three functional labs for science, and in return, the supervisors transferred $46,781 to the RCHS building fund on Monday. The bulk of the money - $40,981 - was unexpended in the 1986-87 school budget. The rest comes from the sale of two trailer classrooms. When Dr. Gangel sought permission from the supervisors last month to carry over money to make up the deficit in the capital outlay project, they asked for details on which budget categories had an unspent balance and for assurance that priority would be given to educational components of the building program, specifically the science labs and library, over bleachers for the new gymnasium and seating for the new auditorium. “You have my commitment to stand behind that,” said Dr. Gangel, as he passed out the financial information at Monday’s board meeting. According to the new superintendent, architectural plans for the building project show three science classrooms: one new classroom with complete wet lab facilities (gas, water and electrical hook-ups to lab stations), one existing classroom with complete wet lab facilities and a new sci(See LAB, p. 18)

It burnt a field, several hay bales and got just to the brush line before being extinguished “They put a good stop on it,” said Flint Hill Fire Chief Frank Huff of the volunteers’ efforts. The suspected cause was a short in an electric fence, which threw sparks into the dry grass. Firefighters from Amissville, Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville battled the blaze.

Little truck is big prize The Child Care and Learning Center, with its spacious, sunny classrooms, is a long way from the little red schoolhouse of yesteryear, but in keeping with that old time tradition, CCLC is giving away a little red truck. The prize in the fund raiser, which was initiated and organized by Dean Moorehouse, is a shiny, fireengine red Ford Ranger S truck from Rick Hunt Ford in Warrenton. CCLC parents and board members have been driving the little red truck, festooned with posters announcing the giveaway, to fairs and festivals around the area in an effort to generate support for the fund raiser. Tickets are available from the truck drivers or at CCLC, Washington Cash Store, Baldwin’s Grocery, Boston Store, Country Manor, Old Hollow Grocery, the Sperryville Comer Store, Parkway Gifts, Burke’s Grocery and the Sperryville Emporium.

Day realtor sk.* AN OFFER SELLER CAN’T REFUSE Most people assume that the highest bidder will always get the nod from a home seller, but in many situatins this is not the case. The highest bidder does not always win. A smart seller will often accept a lower offer from someone who is certain to qualify for a mortgage rather than worry about a financially shaky buyer who might not even qualify for a loan to consumate the sale. If the market is one where homes don’t stay available for even a short time at the asking price, the buyer might want to make the offer one that will be hard to refuse. For example, sellers are very impressed if you can strike the finance contingency clause from the contract. (This is the clause that releases the buyer from the contract without losing the deposit if he cannot qualify for a mortgage.) However, do not even CONSIDER scratching the mortgage contingency clause unless you have the cash on hand to complete the transaction.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hancr CALL OF THE YEAR went to the Rappahannock County fire and rescue squads for their handling of this accident last July in front of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op. At far right, EMS personnel work on one patient as Pegasus waits to transport to U. Va. Medical Center. Squads again earn ‘Call of the Year’ By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County’s rescue personnel were honored last week by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council. At its annual dinner, the council recognizes the outstanding rescue effort of the preceding year as its “Call of the Year.” Nominations are taken from each of the five counties served by RREMSC: Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper, Fauquier and Orange. Rappahannock received the award for the second straight year. The award was bestowed in recognition of the “outstanding teamwork" of the county’s seven fire and rescue companies during an accident in front of the Farmers’ Co-op on Rt. 211 last July 28. That accident, involving a Freightliner tractor cab and a passenger van, left two people dead. However, two other adults and three children in the van survived. That was largly due to the efforts of the county’s EMS and fire personnel, according to Polly Powell, who presented the award for the EMS Council. “When there comes a time of crisis, the squads working together to save lives; that is what makes a great call,” she said. The driver of the eastbound Freightliner tractor lost control of his vehicle when he slowed due to other eastbound traffic waiting for a vehicle to turn into the Co-op parking lot. He slid across the center line and struck the westbound van headon, pushing it and his tractor into a deep ditch in front of the Co-op. It came to rest on top of the upsidedown van. Hubert S. Gilkey and his son Bert, members of the Chester Gap squad, were the first personnel on the scene, happening to pass by in a private car. They realized the seriousness of the accident and radioed the Rappahannock fire and rescue dispatcher to request the assistance of the Pegasus med-evac helicopter from the University of Virginia Medical Center. Two men riding in the front seat of the van were dead, crushed when the diesel tractor landed on top of the car. But their wives, who were riding in the back seats, were still alive, pinned inside the car. Firefighters from Amissville were requested to bring their Hurst extrication equipment to the scene, since the victims could not be removed without prying open the car. As the two women were extricated, three children riding in the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department CARNIVAL August 6, 7 &8 Thursday and Friday nightRide all night for $5.00 Saturday night - Drawing for prizes Rides ★ Games ★ Food Panorama Restaurant Located on Virginia’s Scenic Skyline Drive ; Junction of U.S. 211 & Thornton Gap Entrance To Shenandoah National Park) -AnnouncesFRIDAY NIGHT SEAFOOD BUFFET 5:30 to 9:00 P.M.

After removing the women from the car, their conditions were stabilized by the medical personnel at the scene with the assistance of the paramedics riding aboard Pegasus and they were loaded aboard the helicopter, which stood waiting in the Co-op parking lot. Both women, though badly injured, eventually recovered and were discharged from the hospital within a month after the accident. Much of the credit for their recovery, according to an expert in emergency medicine, goes to the volunteer rescue personnel who realized that? their injuries would require evacuation by helicopter to a trauma center. Patients with severe injuries who arrive at a trauma center within one hour of the accident - the socalled “golden hour” - stand a much greater chance of surviving, he said. In rural areas, with long transport distances to emergency care, that one hour “window” often means that , . (See RESCUE, p. 17) Award-winning comedies will play at Gay St. Washington theater-lovers are very familiar with Hart Whiteman, the founder ami artistic director of the Source Theatre, and founder and producer of the Washington Theatre Festival, a four-week new play festival now in progress, as it has been each summer for the past seven years. Rappahannock audiences met Whiteman in the two productions he brought here: “Equus” and “No Exit”, and through a well-received acting workshop arranged by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. He’s a director, actor, writer and teacher who has played hundreds of the most demanding dramatic roles in traditional and modern theater, often directing at the same time. This summer, the Gay Street audience will have the opportunity to see Whiteman in a different light, as he presents four short comic pieces from the festival, a few days after it closes in Washington. Two of the pieces were written by Whiteman himself: ‘The Obscure Reign of Gaius Julius Iacoccus” and “Bikini Girls from Mars.” The other two offerings are “Forever Ever,” by Magda Zalan, and “Long Day’s Journey Into Ice,” by Robert Pig gott, all staged by th«r HBW2 Group. The short plays, chosen from about 452 submitted and 70 or so actually chosen by a volunteer panel of qual ified playreaders, are staged by the; Source Theater and performed by 200 volunteer actors to draw attention to new talent. “If it works, you should be able to see all these playwriting and performing groups and come away saying, ‘Look at all this theater going on in Washington’,” explained Keith Parker, Source’s literary manager. Parker has a few favorites that he keeps for the flagging energies of his play reading staff. There’s the country-western musical version of Milton’s “Paradise Lost” and the one in which three Las Vegas showgirls are the only survivors of a nuclear holocaust. As yet, these gems have not been staged, and (Jay Street Theater goers will have to be content with “Bikini Girls from Mars” and the other three, all original, all funny, and all right here in Rappahannock. The Highlights will begin at 8 p.m. Saturday, August 15. Ticket prices vary: $4 for students, $6 for RAAC members, and $7.50 for the general public. Pay up now or be listed Every year for the last decade or so, the county supervisors have considered - and rejected - the option of publishing the list of delinquent taxpayers in the Rappahannock News . On Monday, they considered but did not reject. “We’ve done everything we possibly could to run local government in a fiscally responsible manner,” said Supervisor A1 Henry. “I think we should do everything we possibly can to collect that money, including advertising in the paper . . . The people who don’t pay their taxes are a slap in the face to those who do.” According to Clerk Diane Bruce, approximately $30,000, less than 10 percent of the county’s total annual revenue from personal property and real estate levies, remains unpaid. Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that about the same amount is delinquent every year with most of the arrears cleared before new Ibills go out in No vember. On only a few occasions has the county had to go to court to collect unpaid taxes upon the sale of a piece of property, he added. “They’re not going to escape. It will be paid,” Supervisor Charles Estes assured the Jackson District representative. But Mr. Henry remained unconvinced, reporting that he knows of individuals who deliberately left their local tax bill unpaid when interest rates for borrowed money were higher than the interest penalty applied to delinquent taxes. “That will happen again.” “It’s our duty to try to collect this,” Supervisor Newbill Miller agreed, figuring that the arrears amount to about one and a half cents on the tax rate. By consensus, the board agreed to give taxpayers until October 1 to clear their accounts, with the question of publishing the delinquent list to be reconsidered after that deadline.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, AUGUST 6,1987 Editorial A tough job There’s been a lot of talk, and several letters to the editor recently about the job done by the dispatchers at the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. We agree with the sentiments expressed in the letters — that the dispatchers have a difficult job and they do it extremely well. One of the duties of this newspaper’s staffers is to monitor the radio calls dispatched for both the Sheriffs Department and the county’s fire and rescue companies. We hear, and we appreciate, the problems they face and the professional way they conduct themselves under sometimes grueling circumstances. A situation which occurred last weekend perfectly illustrates the stressful and demanding situations which the dispatchers are sometimes faced with. A call came in for a possible heart attack near Sperryville. Because the Washington VFD medic unit was out of service, the dispatcher had to know to call out Sperryville and Flint Hill, rather than Washington. As both Sperryville and Flint Hill responded to that call, another possible heart attack was reported in Flint Hill. The Washington VFD ambulance responded as a basic rescue unit, and was met en route by a Cardiac Technician. Meanwhile, the units on the scene of the Sperryville fall found that Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s med-radio was out of service, and all transmissions had to be routed through the dispatcher. Information which could result in life-or-death decisions was being relayed through the dispatcher. At the same time, she was responsible for any Sheriffs Department transmissions, any additional fire or rescue calls, any State Police transmissions with the Sheriffs Department, as well as the matron’s duties at the jail. But it’s all in a day’s work for thg^county’s dispatchers. The county is fortunate to have such well-qualified, professional people handling calls to the Sheriffs Department, whether it’s a routine request for directions from a lost tourist or a life-threatening situation where seconds could make the difference. We’d just like to add our thanks to the women who handle the county’s dispatching duties. It’s a tough job — and you do it well! Backyard science is educational fun Parents seeking entertaining summer activities for their children don’t have to look very far. Backyard science for children can be fun, educational and inexpensive, says Dr. Steven Fairchild of James Madison University. “Children are interested in their immediate environment and learn through their senses,” the assistant professor of education said. He advocates learning from firsthand experiences. For example, rather than just telling children that many products are made from milk, let them make ice cream outdoors. “Children construct their own knowledge through manipulation of materials,” said Dr. Fairchild. Real-life experience provide the basis for extended learning. A book picturing the life cycle of a butterfly can reinforce the actual experience of watching a caterpillar form a cocoon and emerge as a butterfly. After seeing the transformation in nature and in pictures, children can then talk about or draw what they’ve observed. “In this way,” he said, “children take in knowledge, expand it and share it with others.” The professor said scientific explanations aren’t necessary for the young child - familiarity with the concept is the purpose of the activities. “Children love to pour water,” said the professor. To demonstrate pressure and displacement, a small hole can be punched in the side of a paper cup. The child can fill the cup with water and as the stream of water flows from the hole, he can manipulate it to hit a dot marked in a second containers. Dr. Fairchild recommends guiding play which is the child’s own idea, such as dropping things. Items of varying weight and surface area can be dropped to see which hits the ground first. The child receives a conceptual background of the principle of gravity without boring explanations. Science activities for young children should help the child develop a positive attitude. flf a child brings a spider home, show interest. Ask where it came from, take a picture of it or find out more information about it. The activities should also develop observation, communication and classification abilities. Give children rocks, flowers or leaves and they will organize or group them, said Dr. Fairchild. When they finish, continue the activitiy by asking a question or suggesting another way the items can be grouped. Dr. Fairchild offers the following suggestions for any home or school science program: • Try to teach children topics that are within their immediate realm of experience. • Give children time to be the active, curiosity seekers they naturally area. Don’t rush them. Allow them to handle material. • Let children decide what they want to learn. Make interesting things available, but don’t push them. Chances are the children will discover them and want to learn more. • Avoid scientific explanations. “Don’t try to explain logically what the child sees magically,” Dr. Fairchild suggested.

'Rappahannock Heritage ~ Rappahannock Newi pbottVCindy Mahan BEATING THE HEAT, these cows have discovered a convenient, if messy, way to stay cool. Letters to the editor How much money? To the editor: I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent events surrounding Delegate J. W. “Billy” O’Brien’s efforts to persuade the out-of-state lottery interests to pay him a “consultant’s fee” to campaign for the lottery referendum. While Delegate O’Brien has since withdrawn his request, the matter has brought to light these unsavory out-of-state concerns whose sole interest in the lottery is to make millions of dollars upon its passage. I believe it is now time for these out-of-state interests to tell the people of Virginia of their plans for the campaign and how much money they expect to spend in their attempt to influence voters. Until they make a public statement oft their intentions, there will be a dark cloud hanging over the pro-lottery campaign. GILBERT W. FRANCIS Boykins, Virginia Thank you! To the editor: On several fund raising projects for the Amissville Fire Department which included food service, I was delegated the role of securing donations. Most residents have been more than generous in their contributions of food and funds for the spaghetti supper, for the annual carnival, and most recently, for the dinner meeting of the EMT Association. I wish to express my thanks as well as the appreciation of the organization. I have enjoyed my contact with each of you, have met new folks and renewed acquaintances. Thank you for your cooperation and support. Amissville SARAH LATHAM Plenty of churches To the editor: On page 6 of the Rappahannock News dated July 30, under Church Activities, there are announcements of services at 17 churches in our area and there are several more whose services were not publicized in this issue. There is no shortage of churches of several denominations in our county. Churches have as their mission reaching people, discipling converts and providing meaningful experiences for all who involve themselves in the various activities offered. Everyone has the freedom to worship at the church of choice and to be involved to the extent desired. With as many churches as we have in this small county there surely is a church within easy reach of every family. In fact, there are at least two churches which have had to close their doors for lack of congregations to keep them operating. There are churches within walking distance for hundreds of people and the majority of families have cars. There are several churches that operate van or bus transportation. Religious instruction is the responsibility of the church and the home. The school is to educate and this arrangement can and does work well for those who have given it a chance. The “rolling chapel” to provide religious instruction during school hours is not needed and is a violation of the principle of separation of church and state. From my personal knowledge of what is going on in religious circles, I see this as yet another effort to ram fundamentalism down the throats of unsuspecting or uninformed people. This, too, can be found in some churches for those who are looking for it. I hope our School Board and the school administration will not rely on the reputations of the few who are recommending it, but will inform themselves before making a decision on this question. I believe from what I read in the paper, the majority of the School Board has already voted against it and that should be the end of it. DORIS B. DONALD Castleton Voters favor lottery, Robb for senator,according to poll By MICHAEL CODY Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer If the November referendum regarding a Virginia lottery had been held in July, 55 percent of voters in the Commonwealth would have approved the proposal. In addition, if the 1988 senatorial election had been in July, former Gov. Charles S. Robb would have defeated Sen. Paul Trible, by a margin of 52 percent to 37 percent. Those are the key findings of a poll of 826 registered Virginia voters, conducted July 23-26 for th^Rappahannock News&nA other Arundel Newspapers by Mason-Dixon Opinion Research Inc. Significantly, support for the lottery has dropped nine points, from a figure of 64 percent of Virginians at the beginning of 1987, according to the results of a previous poll. Since then, lottery advocate Del. J.W. (Billy) O’Brian Jr. (D-Virginia Beach) tentatively decided to accept pay from a company which profits from the sale of lottery supplies in return for promoting the lottery, and then changed his mind. Also, while Mr. Robb’s hypothetical margin of victory has remained relatively constant since an April 1987 poll conducted by Mason-Dixon, the attitude of most Virginians toward Sen. Trible seems to have improved. Since then, Sen. Trible has served as a member of the Joint Congressional Committee investigating the IranContra affair. For instance, 53 percent of voters in the Commonwealth rate his performance as senator as good or excellent, compared to 44 percent four months ago. Mr. Robb was not available for comment this week. According to Mason-Dixon, the margin for error within the current poll ranges from 3.5 percent for the entire group, to 15 percent for the smallest subgroup, the 45 respondents from the Northern Neck/Peninsula regions. Voters interviewed were put into the categories by region, including Northern Virginia (including Fairfax and Loudoun counties), the Central Piedmont (including Fauquier and Rappahannock counties), and the Shenandoah (including Clarke and Warren counties). Among those three regions, Northern Virginia was most supportive of the lottery, at 62 percent in favor, while Shenandoah was least supportive, at 48 percent. In the Central Piedmont, 52 percent of voters said they would vote in favor of the lottery. Across the Commonwealth, 52 percent of those polled said that a lottery would help keep state taxes from being increased. Likewise, 57 percent said that a lottery would provide a lot of money for state-funded services such as education and road improvements. Virginians appear to have differing opinions regarding ways to spend money raised through a lottery. According to the poll of early 1987, 53 percent favored putting the money into the Virginia general fund, while 26 percent favored using lottery proceeds to improve transportation in the Commonwealth. Significantly, 45 percent of Northern Virginia voters favored the lottery-for-transportation arrangement, while 20 to 22 percent of voters in the Shenandoah and Central Piedmont regions favored that plan. According to the most recent poll, of those Virginians who opposed the lottery, 62 percent characterized their opposition as “strong.” Moral opposition to gambling was cited by 51 percent of those opposed, while 22 percent and 17 percent, respectively, said that a lottery “will hurt the poor,” and is “not a proper function of government.” Thirty-eight percent of Shenandoah respondents, and 37 percent of Central Piedmont respondents, said that “all gambling, including a state lottery, is immoral.” Only 22 percent of Northern Virginians agreed with that statement. While 40 percent of Virginians agreed that a lottery would exploit the poor, 44 percent of black Virginians (17 percent of those polled) agreed with that statement. The opinion of community leaders, such as ministers or elected officials, appears to have some, but not great, impact upon the opinion of the voter regarding the lottery. For example, in Northern Virginia, 24 percent of those polled said that they would vote against the lottery if their minister opposed it Meanwhile, 37 percent of those in the Shenandoah region, and 32 percent of those in the Central Piedmont, said that they would go along with the opinion of their ministers. Twenty-one percent of Northern Virginians and 25 percent of Shenandoah and Central Piedmont residents said that they would vote against the lottery if locally elected officials opposed it. Support for Sen. Trible was somewhat stronger in the rural areas, compared to Northern Virginia, Richmond, or Tidewater. Meanwhile, 59 percent of Virginians rated good or excellent Sen. mble s performance as a member of the Joint Congressional Committee conducting the IranContra hearings. In this instance, those in the urban areas gave Sen. Trible a higher rating than those in the rural areas of the Commonwealth.

McCutcheon, big band play Bluemont series Another round of outdoor concerts is scheduled by the Bluemont Concert Series this weekend, with Dr. Scanlan and His Imperial Palms Orchestra scheduled to perform Saturday, Aug. 1, on the lawn of the Warren Green Hotel in Warrenton, and John McCutcheon playing on the steps of the old Courthouse in Culpeper on Sunday. “Bring your family and friends to hear these 13 first-class musicians playing America’s greatest hits from the Roaring 20’s and the romantic 30’s,” said a Bluemont spokesman of Dr. Scanlan’s orchestra. “This is very different and special Big Band. Dancers love their perfect dance rhythm which ranges in style from fox trots mid waltzes to jitterbugs and tangos. Music lovers are transported back in time amidst a background of potted palms, tuxedoes and evening gowns.” The audience will certainly be entertained, the spokesman promised, “as they play and sing the original arrangements of such classics as ‘Stardust,’ ‘It’s Only a Paper Moon,’ ‘Deep Purple,’ Tuttin’ on the Ritz,’ ‘Pennies from Heaven,’ ‘Minnie the Moocher’ and many, many more. The Dr. Scanlan Orchestra concert on the lawn of the old Warren Green Hotel will begin at 7:30 p.m. “It’s a beautiful setting to hear a concert,” the spokesman added. “Families are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair and a picnic if they like. Folding chairs will be available for senior citizens and homemade refreshments will be available at intermission from local civic organizations.” A $1 donation per person is requested. On Sunday evening, beginning at 7 p.m., John McCutcheon will bring his renowned “one-man folk festival” to the lawn of the Culpeper County Courthouse. “The most impressive instrumentalist I’ve ever heard” is the way Johnny Cash described John McCutcheon, adding that he is truly one of the great performers of American traditional music. Proficient on baqjo, fiddle, guitar, autoharp, hammered dulcimer and jaw harp, he also plays a mean hambone, concert veterans said. “This will be an evening of incredible variety which the whole family is sure to enjoy,” a concert spokesman said. Once again, organizers suggest blankets, lawn chairs and picnics be brought, and the requested donation will be $1 per person. “Bluemont is a volunteer-based organization,” the spokesman said. “Our volunteers do much of the work that makes these community concerts a reality. If you would like to join the list of Bluemont Friends and volunteers that help make these evenings happen, please give your name, address and phone number to someone at the reception table at the concert.” Democrats form search committee for candidates Bill Childs, chairman of the Seventh District Democratic Committee, has announced the composition of the Search Committee formed to locate prospective Democratic candidates for the Seventh District Congressional nomination in 1988. The Search Committee will be chaired by Mrs. Donna C. Dick of Frederick County, vice-chairman of the Seventh District Committee. Other members of the Search Committee will be Delegate Alson H. Smith Jr. of Frederick, a respected state Democratic leader and fundraiser and a member of the Seventh District Committee; Mrs. Nancy T. Bowles, chairman of the Goochland Democratic Committee and a member of the Seventh Dis' trict Comnftittee;Dennis L.Hupp, commonwealth attorney of Shenandoah and a member of the Seventh District Committee; Jerry Wood, chairman of the Fauquier Democratic Committee; G. Scott Walker, chairman of the Fredericksburg Democratic Committee; former Delegate D. Wayne O’Bryan, co-chairman of the Hanover Democratic Committee; Francis Fife, a former mayor of Charlottesville; James “Chuck” Holmes, vice-chairman of the Culpeper Democratic Committee; Martha Raines, vice-chairman of the Prince William Democratic Committee, and George Gilliam of Albermarle, a former Seventh District chairman and Democratic candidate for Congress. Mr. Childs indicated that the Search Committee will begin work immediately and emphasized that he felt confident about Democratic chances in the Seventh. He said, "Jerry Baliles and Mary Sue Terry proved we could carry the Seventh. Since there are so many independent voters here, any Democrat will need independent votes to win, just as any Republican must have them. We must, therefore, find a nominee who can appeal to the broad middle ground of moderate and conservative Virginians and must not go to either extreme.” Mr. Childs added, "What happened to the Republicans in 1965 was the result of what I believe is their dogmatic fixation on the extreme right and their subsequent rejection of anyone more moderate than the Godwin-Robertson element that seems to control their party. We Democrats must not repeat their mistake.” Mr. Childs emphasized that the Search Committee is seeking input from all concerned residents of the Seventh District and asked interested individuals to contact a member of the committee. Paul Laxalt committee formed in Warren Co. A Paul Laxalt for President Committee has been formed in Front Royal. Announcement of the new committee was made July 21 by its chairman, John K. Scott. “We are very pleased to announce the formation of this committee,” Mr. Scott said. “The Senator has been a home owner here in Warren County for several years and we have come to know him not only as the man we want as our next president, but also as our neighbor and friend.” Sen. Laxalt appointed Mr. Scott officially on March 21 to be his Front Royal man. Mr. Scott has been seeking and organizing a committee since then. The committee met for the first time on July 8 and elected several local residents to fill key positions.

Fifteen citizens were present in support of the school law which had not been in effect for the last ten years and was abolished as part of Massive Resistance. Many excellent points were made in favor of the law but the most succinct was that a literate population is necessary for proper functioning of a democratic form of government and is mandatory and possible. The motion to adopt the Compulsory School Attendance Law was made by L. H. Luttrell and seconded by Herbert Foster. They had sponsored the ordinance which was advertised for the public hearing.

Discipline a difficult task By JOHN BORGENS Hapfhmnnrlt W«w» Contributing Writer How many times have we heard the unpleasant, yet distressingly familiar tones of a parent yelling at or threatening their child? How many times have we as parents found ourselves yelling at or threatening our own children - only to say to ourselves later that we should have handled the situation differently? Sometimes it is the parent who is most anxious to avoid conflict who finds himself or herself in the ironic position of screaming or threatening or even physically thrashing the child. In extreme cases, this frustration of trying to manage the child can lead to abuse of the child, which can cause serious and long-term physical, mental and emotional damage to the child. The most common error in disciplining children, psychologists feel, is the inappropriate use of anger. Many experts in child psychology believe there is no more ineffective method of controlling human beings than the use of irritation and anger. However, most adults rely primarily on their own emotional response to secure the cooperation of their children. Actually, disciplinary action influences behavior, while anger does rdffliLV rbCUi not. I think that, in reality, the adult’s display of anger, especially over a period of time, can foster a land of disrespect in the minds of children. Although they cannot put it into words, children intuitively sense that the anger is caused by the adult’s inability to control the situation in a reasonable, rational way. In my work with juveniles with behavior problems I have found it is the adults who appear and act as though they are under control, objective, rational, fair and dignified who receive the most respect from their children and other youngsters with whom they come into contact. Anger used as a tool in discipline is ineffective and can damage the relationship between the parent and their child. Most of us want a loving and nurturing relationship with our children. Perhaps more patience and thinking before we act will help us reach that goal. Vacation Bible School meets By MARNIE TURMAN Rappahannock News Staff Intern Vacation Bible School is underway at the Family Worship Center in Washington through Friday from 9:30 to 12:30. Each day the children learn from Gospel Bill and Friends, a video tape program exclusively for vacation Bible schools around the country. Bill tells stories, sings and teaches the children about the Bible. After the video the children make crafts that have to do with a story that Bill told. On Monday Bill told the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale, from the whale’s point of view. For crafts the younger children made a whale and put a window in the side of the whale so you could see Jonah in the whale’s stomach. The older children made the whale’s mouth and put Jonah inside. Sharron Proper, a teacher at the Bible School, has the greatest imagi nation. She put a table in front of the doorway to the craftroom for the younger children and then placed a blue blanket over the top. Inside she fastened branches and leaves to the bottom, to produce a replica of the whale’s stomach. She went so far as to add the “fishy” smell by putting in a bowl of fish. To get into the room children had to crawl through the “whale’s belly”. Bobbi Taylor is head of the Vacation Bible School, assisted by Sharron Proper, Sheri and Kim Aylor, and Janice Turner. Vacation Bible School will conclude Friday, August 7, with commencement exercises at 7:80 p.m. at the Family Worship Center. The children will receive a certificate of completion from the Vacation Bible School. There will also be a muppet show. Call 675-3349 to place your ad MARLINA JENKINS Miss Jenkins to wed George W.

Sperryville High Class of ’42 holds reunion That Sperryville Emporium, formerly the Sperryville High School, was the site recently of the first class reunion of the old school’s Class of 1942.

The State Fair in Richmond will be taking place September 24October 4. These are opportunities for individuals to share their favorite baked items, canned goods and their favorite talents with others. Some people are gifted in sewing, others in art or quilting, still others in woodworking, to name but a few talents. The bottom line when we enter fairs and farm shows is not whether we win or not, but the opportunity it offers people to share their talents with others and also to gain new ideas to take home. Rappahannock residents shared many items in the recent Farm Show. Entered were wreaths, quilts, clothing items, quilted place mats, art work, toys, canned goods and last but certainly not least were the baked goods.

Rapp ahanno c k Journal • Farm * Business > Garden > Rural life Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter THE FAITH MOUNTAIN COMPANY is included in a Japanese-language publication, The Catalog of Catalogs, which is intended to open American mail-order business to the Japanese market. The book will, according to Mike Mansfield, American ambassador to Japan, “introduce Japanese consumers to some of the best” American mail-order catalogs. Farmers may be eligible for overcharge refunds Thousands of Virginia farmers are eligible for a refund of at least $15 for money spent on crude oil between Aug. 17, 1973 and Jan. 27, 1981. The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation is in the process of distributing application forms to County Farm Bureau Offices to assist farmers in obtaining this money. The refimd'iS a condition of set< tlement of a suit between the U.S. Department of Energy and a group of energy companies who overcharged customers when oil was under government price controls. The fund contains at least $1.5 billion and is being administered by the DOE. Farmers nationwide who bought crude oil products during that nineyear period are eligible to get back at least $80 per 100,000 gallons of gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, motor and heating oils, propane or grease used. Depending on the outcome of another settlement, repayments may reach $150 per 100,000 gallons, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. “Our role is to provide the information to farmers,” said Robert B. Delano, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. “Most farmers who apply could get anywhere from $15 to several thousand dollars back. But there’s really no way of guessing because the refunds will ultimately depend on the size of the operation and the type of commodity produced.” ASCS amends rate schedule The loan and purchase rate for Rappahannock County’s 1987 crop wheat is $2.36 per bushel, down 2 cents per bushel from the 1986 rate, according to T. V. Williams Jr., chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, ASCS Committee. Mr. Williams said that for the first time the rates reflect relative county market prices arrived at by using the same method for determining posted prices used for exchanging commodity certificates. “Loan and purchase rates for the remaining feed grains will be determined in the same manner,” he said. Price support loan programs are administered by ASCS. To qualify for loans, Mr. Williams said farmers need only to comply with acreage reduction program provisions. “Price support loans give farmers an opportunity to obtain operating capital while holding their crop for later sale.” By holding the crop and spreading marketing over a ninemonth period, he said producers help minimize market gluts, extreme price swings and transportation bottlenecks. Read fcappafjannocfe ihtos for local news According to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s most recent census (1982), there were 48,550 farms in Virginia. More than 32,000 of those farms were 49 acres or smaller, while nearly 5,400 were between 50 and 99 acres. The census showed 3,210 farms between 100 and 999 acres and 2,400 operations between 200 and 499 acres. In .addition, there were. 687 Virginia farms between 500 and 999 acres and 179 operations with more than a thousand acres. Based on information supplied by the Virginia Department Agriculture and Consumer Services, state farmers could receive a collective refund of $80,000 for each year of the overcharge, or roughly $720,000 for the entire period, (using a $.0008 per gallon fuel formula). With the refund form the VFBF is distributing to county offices, a farmer can total all the purchases for each year affected. He must describe how he got his annual totals. However, he can use off-road state fuel tax exemption records, sales receipts, local fuel supplier records or credit card purchase slips, the Farm Bureau said. A farmer doesn’t have to turn in those receipts with his refund request. But he must have them ready if the DOE asks for proof of purchase. “We are telling farmers not to be discouraged if they don’t have the paperwork to back up their claims,” said Dean Kleckner, president of the AFBF, “because the DOE will allow farmers to estimate by figuring gallons per acre, or if they have total dollar amounts.” The DOE says it will randomly spot check applications for purchase documentation - and it will issue no refund of less than $15. That’s how much it costs the U.S. Treasury to do the paperwork. Direct payments from the $1.5 billion fund do not apply to purchases from farm cooperatives - only to independent sources. Co-ops already have received $45.5 million to benefit farmer-members through their patronage. U .. ^ This refund represents about 20 percent of the total overcharge fund. The other 80 percent - some $1.2 billion - will be split among federal and state governments. Mr. Delano urged Virginia farmers to contact their county farm bureau offices to apply for a refund. “We want to help our farmers get some dollars back in their pockets,” he added. I Building?

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.

If you're considering a European import, you obviously want a car of the highest possible quality. And if you know what most European imports cost nowadays, you're obviously resigned to pay handsomely for it. That's why you should consider a Peugeot. A car of infinitely fine quality that, as you can see, offers you many features and amenities only available from other manufacturers at extra cost, if at all. And between now and September 30th, you'll find a Peugeot an even more surprising value. Because you'll get as much as $3,000* in cash when you buy a 1987 sedan or wagon. You can take the money and run, or use it as a down payment. You can even use it as a down payment on a lease or financing. So stop in and arrange for a test drive.

Like drinking and driving, drinking and boating are a lethal combination. Whatever type of boat is involved, the use of alcohol while boating increases the risk of accident. Statistics show that alcohol is a factor in more than 50 percent of all boating accidents and drownings. According to the EMS Council, safe boating skills are significantly impaired after only one or two drinks. Again, the analogy to drinking and driving is valid. Also, a council spokesman pointed out, there is no way to sober up quickly if a crisis situation, requiring quick thinking or action, occurs.

Old Town Winchester (703) 667-5600 ishes the effects of alcohol. Alcohol gives the user a kind of mental “one-two punch.” On the one hand, it reduces inhibitions, while at the same time it increases the willingness of most users to take risks. Drinking may lead to inappropriate and foolish actions in dangerous situations. Alcohol also impairs good judgement by diminishing the process of reasoning. All these, plus the fact that alcohol weakens survival reflexes and increases the effects of cold, are reasons why drinking and boating do not mix. In some cases, the council reports, alcohol abuse has caused boaters to be so relaxed that, in a sudden spill, they sink to the bottom without even struggling to keep afloat. The Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council encourages boaters to participate in boating safely by “boating without the bottle.” r i 4-H camps The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service office in Washington has announced the following 4-H summer camps: 4-H Junior Overnight Camp: August 10 to 14, for ages 9 to 12.

Rappahannock County is served 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by the Pegasus helicopter and its support facilities at University of Virginia Medical Center. The helicopter can be requested by EMS personnel on the scene of any accident. The RREMS Council also recognized a number of other contributions at its annual banquet. The award for the Outstanding Squad Member went to Charles Lauffer, of Culpeper’s Company 11 Rescue Squad. Instructor of the Tear honors went to David M. (Skip).Wolfford, also of Culpeper. Besides teaching two EMT classes last year, Mr. Wolfford also furthered his own knowledge by completing the Cardiac Techniciancourse. Two Outstanding Citizen awards were given, one ‘to Art Dwyer of. Culpeper and the other to Mike Hale of Madison. And a special award, recognizing his Outstanding Contribution to EMS, was bestowed upon Mike Willis, owner of Mike’s Glass aind Mirror in Culpeper. For years, Mr. Willis had the RREMSC offices, rent-free, in the basement of his building. Af ter several heavy rairts threatened to flood out the council, Mr. Willis offered to move the offices upstairs. The council accepted , the offer, and shared the space with Mr. Willis until it moved to the rear of the Culpeper Rescue Squad’s new building on Rt. 229 earlier this year. - Special recognition and awards were also presented to Culpeper Memorial Hospital and Fauquier Hospital “for continuing efforts in the improvement of emergency medical care.” Following the banquet, the EMS personnel heard a talk by Dr. Jimmy Chow, a reconstructive microsurgeon at the Washington Hospital Center in Washington,. D. C. Dr. Chow is a widely-respected expert on surgical replantation of svered limbs, and his talk included information geared to assist EMS personnel in preserving severed limbs for later replantation at a hospital. Teamwork was also the key in- . gredient of the call which won Rappahannock County the award last year, and which also included the resources of the Pegasus med-evac helicopter. 1 A teenaged member of a survey team near the. summit of Fodderstack Mountain fell and suffered a possible broken neck. The caller re ported to the Rappahannock dispatch center that the injured boy had “turned blue.” Although rescue personnel were able to reach the scene riding in a four-wheel drive vehicle, they could not transport the patient in the truck because of the risk of further injury. Pegasus could not evacuate the patient by air because there was no clearing large enough to land or to lower a Stokes basket. The evacuation down a steep mountain trail took four hours - through a thunderstorm. During the entire transport, rescue personnel assisted the patient’s breathing and maintained intravenous therapy. Four bottles of oxygen were used and & total of three intravenous lines were inserted. When the team reached the base of the mountain, Pegasus was waiting to whisk the patient to U. Va. hospital. . -Fbi* their heroic efforts, which one speaker at the banquet (himself an EMS member from Bethesda) called “the REAL work — under conditions which we from the big city would not even dream of,” the Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville rescue squads . received the “Call of the Year” award last year. Policy (Continued from Page i) Silverman listed the possible closure expenses as an impermeable cap, leachate collection and treatment,- prevention of explosions and air pollution, security against midnight dumpers and. insurance for later discovered liabilities. He contended that private ownership does not relieve the county of legal or moral responsibility for problems arising from the Clark dump. . The capital plan’s second element should be a program for “waste avoidance and recycling” to reduce the volume of waste by 25 to 50 percent, thus extending the life of a landfill and reducing its size, according to Mr. Silverman. “We urge establishment of a county recycling committee immediately.” The third element for the plan . should be the exclusion of hazardous waste,: especially household hazardous waste, from disposal at the landfill. ‘The fact is, every empty or half empty pesticide container, every paint can, eveiy old battery, every solvent container, every unwanted - chemical in Rappahannock County is likely to end up in the landfill, wherever it is located,” Mr. Silverman said, calling for the immediate institution of a household hazardous waste collection program to prevent this eventuality. Addressing the fiscal side, Mr. Silverman asked for estimates not just on initial planning, design and construction but also on operation and maintenance, insurance and closure and how those costs would be distributed. He recommended a redoubling of efforts to reach a cooperative regional agreement on waste management with other counties-. “The best way to assure the success of regional negotiations is to go to your neighbors in a position of leadership, with creative ideas for solving common problems at the lowest possible cost,” Mr. Silverman maintained, suggesting that Rappahannock explore common recycling centers and hazardous waste pickups with neigh- . boring counties. Maintaining that the potential is high for water pollution from landfill-ing at the Stover site, he proposed a baseline measurement on' quality of all nearby drinking water sources $o that -the cause of future problems and future liability can be fixed. This data will also provide information on connections between water systems and enable problems to be spotted early, Mr. Silverman said. ’ He called for the study of leachate collected at the current landfill to determine actual problems arising, from waste generated in Rappahannock. Mr. Silverman pointed but that the Federal Clean Water Act passed last year over the president’s veto defines municipal landfill leachate as a pollution discharge for this first time. And as a pollution discharge, it requires a pollution elimination discharge permit, the same as a sewage treatment plant, he informed the supervisors. Any leachate collected at a landfill must be treated on site or trucked elsewhere, Mr. Silverman noted, asking what role, the Sperryville sewage plant will play in meeting this requirement. Finally, he called on the board to inventory all of Rappahannock to determine the best sites for waste stor-' age. “It is a serious mistake to confine the search to willing sellers,” Mr. Silverman maintained. “This effectively limits the candidates to lands owned by absentee speculators. The power of eminent domain is the proper tool for decisions of this ’sort,” he told the board. “Suitable sites should be explored as a security measure .should the Stover site prove to be inappropriate, and as a future resource.” Exception (Continued from Page 1) zoning ordinance? Reaffirming the 1971 opinion,.“the:Attorney General went oh to state that a county is exempt from its own zoning ordinance in the operation of a sanitary landfill unless the ordinance is expressly made applicable to the county,” Mr. Luke reported. That Madison County landfill and the Attorney General’s position was the subject of litigation, with the court upholding the view that the county did not have to comply with its own zoning ordinance. Upon review, the Supreme Court of Virginia found no error in this opinion, noted Mr. Luke. “It is therefore my opinion that a county may by amendment exempt itself from the provisions.of its own zoning ordinance fpr the performance of governmental functions,, which functions would include the establishment' and operation of a landfill,” the county’s attorney concluded. ' Mr. Luke emphasized, however, that the new zoning ordinance amendment would not exempt the board from compliance with the provisions of-Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. Compliance with that comprehensive plan entails the addition of a sanitary landfill to the list of public facilities listed in the plan. That addition would be done by amendment and would require a public hearing by both the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. “Will this apply to all public facilities and utilities?” asked. Lorraine Early, president Of the Jackson District Citizens Committee. “If it’s required by law only, ” answered Supervisor Newbill Miller: “We’re mandated by the state to have certain facilities, ” In addition to a landfill, the exemption would apply to a dog pound, noted Chairman Hubert Gilkey. . With that, the four supervisors at Monday’s meeting (Nelson Lane from Stonewall-Hawthome District did not attend) voted Unanimously to enact the ordinance amendment. Trible states bay cleanup must continue Earlier this week, Senator Paul Trible (R-VA) released the following statement. Sen. Trible has been an outspoken advocate of programs to clean up the bay, as well as agricultural initiatives to encourage farmers in the Chesapeake Bay region to pursue conservation practices which will assist in the urgent effort to preserve the bay. “This year could be decisive for the Chesapeake Bay,” Sen. Trible said. “It is the year the 1983 bay agreement must be renewed, and that agreement will literally determine the fate of the bay. “Despite the progress to date, the bay remains embattled. Each day agricultural and urban runoff, along with pollution from industrial facilities and sewage-treatment plants, assaults it. Excessive amounts of nutrients and toxic chemicals continue to threaten its priceless resources. “As a result, recreational activities have been curtailed and strains increased on the watermen who depend on the bay for their livelihood. We need to act decisively and promptly to reverse the decline and begin the process of upgrading the bay’s water quality. 'The basis for a general strategy will be a special report that the state/federal Chesapeake Bay Program .will issue this September. It will be a detailed analysis of the bay’s conditions and Mill contain program alternatives to restore the bay to health. “The preliminary indications emerging from the report present presussive evidence that significant steps to reduce the levels of nutrients and toxics in the bay are essential. While we naturally associate nutrients with robust health, in the case of the bay there can be too much of a good thing. In its complex ecosystem, an over-supply of nutrients leads to a decline in oxygen necessary for fish and other water life. ■ The reason is that nutrients contribute to an excessive growth of microscopic plants, particularly algae, which deprives fin fish and shellfish of needed oxygen. As a result, there is a decrease in the bay’s bounty. “In order to confront this problem, we must first scientifically establish the amount of nutrients entering the Chesapeake Bay. Then, of course, we must work to reduce the excessive amounts. Although we cannot now define with precision their contribution to pollution in th^ bay, - tentative estimates suggest that reduction in nutrient levels somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 percent will be required for marked improvement. This goal will not be achieved overnight, but a timetable and targets for reducing the nutrients year by year are indispensable to the bay’s revitalization. “Toxic compounds also have a direct effect on the life of the bay. In large amounts these compounds can be lethal to fish; small amounts can reduce reproduction rates and cause lesions or fin erosion. The variety of toxics is stunning. They include metals such as lead and copper, organic chemicals such as PCBs and Kepone and chemicals such as chlorine. Industrial facilities and sewage treatment plants discharge a variety of toxics, and control of these compounds must begin at the source. “A number of steps can be taken immediately. First, we need to continue to upgrade enforcement of the state’s Pollution Discharge Elimination System. The Clean Water Act gives the states authority to regulate discharges by means of permits. The permit process needs to be more systematic. Second, we must move ahead with Superfund clean-up. “These clean-up activities are some of the goals that must be included in any new bay agreement. They are fundamental to restoration of the bay, our nation’s most productive and precious estuary,” the Senator concluded.

Accident (Continued from Page 1) son was treated for a strained neck and spent three days in a brace. Her six-year-old daughter was not hurt, “just shaken up.” “And they gave me something to calm me down,” she added. “They took my blood pressure four hours later - I was still going. I was still hyped up.” Mrs. Seal said that she went to the hospital later and is now receiving chiropractic treatment for the injury she received when she was struck in the back by the bucket. She was told by her doctor that she had messed up her back “pretty bad,” she said. Mr. Cole said Friday morning “it was just one of those things.” He added that the injuries were limited to “bumps, bruises and pulled muscles. Nobody was seriously hurt.” Mrs. Foster agreed with Mrs. Seal that the ride’s operator had behaved callously after the accident. She said that she berated him for his attitude, and asked him, “Do you have children?” She said he replied, “No, but if I did I wouldn’t put them on that ride.” At a meeting later in the evening with Mr. Cole, Mrs. Foster said she repeated the operator’s comment to Mr. Cole. She said that he replied that the operator would not have said such a thing, and she challenged him to bring Mr. Nelson in and ask him. She said that Mr. Nelson came into the meeting and admitted that he had indeed made that comment to Mrs. Foster. Building Inspector Bill Harrison, who serves as the county’s inspector of the carnival rides, said that all the rides were inspected when they were set up and again Friday morning. “There was no mechanical or electrical malfunction,” he said. “As to what happened, your guess is as good as mine.” John McCarthy, the county’s administrator, who investigated the accident with Mr. Harrison Friday morning, supported the inspector’s conclusion. “I want to emphasize that nothing mechanical or electrical is wrong” with the ride, he said. Mr. McCarthy theorized that the problem could be the design of the ride, with buckets constructed so that if they were rocked they could become entangled. The ride, he added, is not designed to be rocked, but you have to allow that kids may become rambunctious and rock. Mrs. Foster said that “nobody I’ve talked to saw kids rocking,” and that she did not recall seeing any children rocking the ride. She did say that although the operator said that the buckets were designed for two children, at least one bucket held three kids: two older children with one holding a young child on her lap. “I watched the whole thing,” Mrs. Seal agreed. “I could almost swear that none of the children was rocking.” Mr. McCarthy said that it appears that operator error played a part in the incident. “It’s not as important to me where he went as that he should have been there at the controls,” Mr. McCarthy said. If the kids were rocking the ride, the operator should have warned them to stop, or shut down the ride if they continued. And, “although there is no requirement that the operator must have his hand on the switch, he was apparently not where he was supposed to be.” Had he been at the controls, Mr. McCarthy pointed out, he could have shut the equipment down immediately when the problem developed. Mr. Harrison said that, apart from human error, “everything which could have been done was done.” He added that he was at the carnival Thursday evening with his young daughter, and she was on the rides. Not the small ferris wheel, he said, “because that didn’t interest her,” but the rides are safe, he emphasized. “We are on top of the situation,” Mr. Harrison said. “We are protecting the residents of the county - we are concerned about safety.” He said that Mr. Cole and John McSpadden, owner of J. R. Amusements, which furnished the rides for the carnival, had cooperated with the county’s investigation. (Mr. Cole owns the two ferris wheels and the “Moonwalk” ride which were leased to Mr. McSpadden for use at the Flint Hill carnival.) Mr. McSpadden expressed regrets over the accident, adding that he and his family have been providing rides to the Flint Hill carnival for 27 years, “and this is the first time that anything has happened.” After the ferris wheel involved in the accident was inspected Friday morning, Mr. McCarthy said that Mr. Cole offered to remove the ride, and he and Mr. Harrison urged him to do so. Mr. Cole also switched his crews from Flint Hill and another carnival, “to avoid the possibility of any unpleasant situations,” Mr. McCarthy said. Both Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Seal said that they wished to thank the many bystanders who came to the aid of the children. “I’d like to thank the man — I don’t know who he was but he was wearing an Air Force cap — who got my daughter off, and all the other people,” Mrs. Seal said. Mrs. Foster added a “thank you” to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department and the Flint Hill Fire Department. “They were all just super during the whole thing. They wanted to know if there was anything they could do; any way they could help.” The rest of the carnival went off without a hitch, with large crowds attending both Friday and Saturday nights. On Saturday, the carnival’s prizes were awarded. Tina Gohn of Arlington drove home in the grand prize, a 1987 Chevrolet Chevette. Joe Hall of Flint Hill won the Black Angus heifer, while Tony Green of Front Royal has two season passes to see the Washington Redskins. A suite of living room furniture went to Mqjor Cowgill, also of Flint Hill, and the Fire Chiefs car decanter went home with Jeffrey Young of Reva. Louis Moore of Flint Hill was awarded a homemade quilt, and a homemade afghan was presented to Jackie Fadely of Upper Marlboro, Md. Two additional prizes were also presented: a $100 cash award went to Martha Faulkner of Castleton, and a gift certificate from Trout’s was awarded to Wallace Russell of Luray. Sheriff Woodward reported that although the Sheriffs Department handled several minor incidents involving fights and vandalism late Saturday evening, there were no major problems at the carnival.

The lecture room, according to the plans, “is not a wet lab,” Dr. Gangel said, adding that the classroom was to have just a single sink. “But it’s the intention of the School Board to make it as functional as possible for biology classes,” he said. “When this capital outlay project was first presented, there were three complete labs. When did that change?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “According to the architectural plans, it never changed,” Dr. Gangel replied. “There have been a lot of misunderstandings,” he conceded, saying that he has tried to follow the progress of the expansion program and the alterations it has undergone, but has been unable to find evidence that a third wet lab was ever part of the $1.5 million project, which combines a new gymnasium with remodeling to provide an expanded library, cafeteria, guidance and administrative offices, new auditorium and four new classrooms. He added, however, that the architectural plans include the under-floor plumbing necessary to make the lecture room a complete lab at a future date. “I had the impression personally that there would be three complete labs,” Mr. Miller insisted. “If this isn’t a functional biology classroom when it’s built, it will never be.” The Hampton District representative noted his concern all along has been that education doesn’t have the highest priority in the capital outlay project which allots two-thirds of the funds, or $1 million for the gym, cafeteria and other non-educational components and only $500,000 for the classrooms and library. “I want that lab complete! You’ve asked for enough money to do it.” Dr. Gangel assured the board that the architectural plans could be changed to provide for full lab facilities in the lecture room at a cost of about $10,000 for an island with three sinks, plus gas and water connections, and $2,000 to $2,500 for lab tables and chairs. But that will leave the building program short of funds for other work, the superintendent pointed out. “What’s the feeling of the School Board?” asked Mr. Miller. “They want it (the planned lecture room) to be as functional as possible,” Dr. Gangel said. “But they’re trying to keep the bottom line down as much as possible. This may have been ...” he paused, adding, “I wasn’t here so I can’t really address the issue.” However, the superintendent affirmed that with the expenditure of the $12,500, the room will be “a complete wet lab.” “So that a teacher could teach to state standards (which require students to have 50 percent hands-on lab time)?” Mr. Miller questioned. “Absolutely,” Dr. Gangel answered. “What about the library? Is there any problem with the library meeting state standards?” the Hampton District supervisor asked. “Not to my knowledge,” replied the superintendent. “If the three labs are not complete, I’m opposed to putting this $46,000 in capital outlay. If they are complete, I’m in favor of doing it,” Mr. Miller announced, getting nods of concurrence from his fellow board members. “But we’re obviously going to fall short somewhere down the line,” Dr. Gangel repeated. When bids for the construction came in over the amount available from the state’s low interest literary loan for the expansion project, “the School Board and the previous superintendent recognized that and went forward anyway,” Mr. Miller recalled. “At the time, they said they’d get the money from the activity fund or somewhere else.” The vote to appropriate $46,781 from the county’s general fund was unanimous but came with the condition that RCHS have three wet labs and a library that meets state standards when the construction project is finished. Three labs was original intent Without elaborating on when the plans were changed, School Board member Paul Nichols confirmed that it was tjie board’s intent “in the first part of the plans, to have three labs.” At the special School Board meeting Monday night, the board members seconded Dr. Gan gel’s assurances to the supervisors. The $46,781 will be used first for the science lab, “then we’ll look at other areas - the bleachers and seats for the auditorium,” said Chairman Beverly Massie. Bill Oliver recalled that the board had earlier considered having the bleachers from the old auditorium reconditioned at a machine shop in the valley for a substantial savings over buying new gym seating. According to the architect, the old bleachers will fit, he added. “And it might be a good shop project to refinish the seats, put in new dowel rods.” Mrs. Massie pointed out that the expense of equipping the third wet lab would be partially offset by the elimination of a door in the shop class, as requested by the shop instructors. As to progress on the building project, Dr. Gangel said he expected the two regular classrooms to be ready by the opening of school in Spetember, despite the late arrival of bar joists that has delayed getting the roofs up for at least three weeks. The new science lab should be under roof but may not be furnished when the students return, he reported, adding that the library expansion is “in good shape.” Toth (Continued from Page 1) the on-going construction requiring close cooperation between students and faculty. But he expressed confidence that the building project will not disrupt the educational program. “I have a strong sense of appreciation for our teachers. They’re the backbone of our system. I’d match our faculty, our students and our community against anybody’s! With everybody pulling together, with the support I see from students, tea chers and folks in the community, we’ll get through this just fine,” the new principal said. Also at Monday’s special meeting, the School Board accepted the resignations of high school reading and scoial studies teacher Deborah Mills, seventh grade teacher Barbara O’Byme and elementary special education teacher Kimberly Carroll.

Robert Dunphy, Pastor, FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, WASHINGTON, VA. Greetings to all; I meet so many people who, when you ask them if they are bom again or, are you sure you are going to heaven when you die; they say, "I hope so." This is why the Lord has inspired me to write this message. We can and should know the answer. Look at this; I John 3:14. "We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethem. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” You should go on and read verse 15. But now lets talk about verse 14. It says “We know”. How do we know? "Because we love the brethem." That's talking about sisters and brothers in Christ. If you can’t love every person in your church, then how can you love people outside the church and how can you be a good witness to them? Next time we will go further into this matter. The Lord bless you and keep you. (Mailing address: Rt. 1, Box 266, Sperryville, Va., 22740 Phone 987-8505)
