Supervisors from Loudoun County and incumbents and candidates from Prince William echoed the same theme at a meeting in Manassas earlier this month of the state’s Water Study Commission for groundwater protection strategy: local governments need (1) financial and technical assistance to determine the quality and Analysis quantity of groundwater and (2) specific authority to take groundwater protection into account in making land use decisions. “The uncertainty of groundwater supply and risk of contamination” are major issues in Loudoun where a significant number of the 20,000 newcomers who swell the population every 3 1/2 years are settling in the western portion of the county in large scale rural subdivisions, said Supervisor James Brownell. Groundwater is the predominant existing source of water in western Loudoun, but “groundwater resources are not presently managed to any significant degree in terms of long range planning,” said Brownell, speaking on behalf of the Loudoun board. He told the Commission that Loudoun’s Rural Land Management Plan recommends well data be systematically gathered and monitored and regulations be adopted to reduce the probability of contamination in limestone and other geologically sensistive areas. In particular, development on the steep slopes that comprise 16 percent of the county poses potential hazards for downstream flooding, groundwater pollution and decreases in groundwater recharge, Brownell said. But in order for the Board of Supervisors to enact an ordinance regulating mountain ridge development, information must first be gathered on “existing geologic, hydrologic and soil conditions and their interrelationship with land development,” Brownell said. On behalf of the Loudoun board, Brownell asked specifically for: (1) financial and technical assistance for developing that necessary groundwater data base. This would be used to develop “groundwater vulnerability maps” that - -**“•*»• «W>U*<SU$0 - programs. * (2) revision of state enabling legislation oh planning, “Until recently, scientists thought that groundwater would be purified of contaminants as it filtered down through the soil. Today we know better... (But) some of the more insidious ones may take as long as 20 years to appear in groundwater samples... There is good evidence that most damage is done by leaking underground storage tanks and failed septic systems.” -Del. John Rollison zoning and related powers to upgrade groundwater protection to the same level of importance as surface, storm and flood water. (3) additional staff and funding to improve the permitting process for new wells and to effectively monitor and carry out enforcement programs for both existing and new facilities. (4) development and implementation of an underground storage tank regulatory program that would give local governments the authority to regulate residential and agricultural tanks now exempt from federal and state control which “pose the most widespread threat to groundwater if pot properly maintained. ” (5) the optipp tQppj^mope stringent regulations than those of the stfcteTfb!* protecting groundwater and surface water. (6) a broadening of the Water Commission’s scope to include specific legislative proposals by which local g|overnment8ca^g^eftdLUTO^l<>v^lopmertt according to Del. John Rollison detailed the importance of groundwater: it is the primary source of drinking water in 65 of Virginia’s 95 counties and 80 percent of Virginians drink some amount of groundwater every day. “‘Until recently, scientists believed that groundwater would be purified of contaminants as it filtered down through the soil. Today we know better,” Del. Rolliaon continued. A low flow of water eliminates any natural flushing action while lack of contact with the air insures that decomposition will be slow and pollutants long lived, he explained. As an example, he cited landfills, one of the mqjor sources of groundwater contamination, which release their benign pollutants first. “Some of the more insidious ones may take as long as 20 years to appear in groundwater samples.” What has been a silent threat is growing louder, according to the Woodbridge delegate. Virginia’s groundwater pollution complaints quadrupled between 1979 and 1985. Of the 866 complaints received by the State Water Control Board in 1986, 233 involved domestic sewage and 244 were about leaking underground tanks, Del. Rollison reported. Aimougn examples uxe uove uanai are the ones that remain in the public conscious, there is good evidence that most damage is done by leaking underground storage tanks and failed septic systems.” Virginia’s 7,000 inactive landfills also “rank high as likely sources of contamination,” he added. “Any talk of preventing pollution invariably comes down to a discussion of land use,” Rollison emphasized. “The reality is that the most important thing that affects groundwater is what you do with the land on top of it.” Councils and boards of supervisors must have the geological and hydrological data on which to make decisions on development proposed in critical recharge areas, Rollison said. And aquifers must be protected from depletion as well as from pollution, he contended. “Once an aquifer has been depleted, the soil that once held water becomes depressed and its ability to contain the same volume of water in the future is reduced even if the water table is restored to its.former level.” Ihe delegate from Virginias 62nd District recommended that full-spectrum testing for water quality be required for all new wells and offered as an option on all real estate transfers, with tests performed at cost by a certified and approved state laboratory. He also proposed that money be included in the state’s 1988-89 budget for the appropriate agencies to test private water supplies in areas of known or suspected contamination throughout the state. “We simply cannot say to the 80 percent of our citizens who are drinking groundwater that their health ijs not as important to us as their.neighbor whose water comes from a public supply whose punt* we routinely monitor.” (See WATER, page. 4) Double whammy: Lack of rain, high temperatures continue A combination of high temperatures and gentle breezes has aggravated the already serious drought which has hit Rappahannock and surrounding counties during the past two months. According to Dennis Wingfield, whose weather observations are familiar to county residents through his reports to Channel 4 in Washington, D. C., the lack of rainfall would be bad enough without the temperatures and winds. He explained that it is normal at this time of year for evaporation from ground to sky to exceed the rainfall amounts, which creates a moisture deficit. nowever, tne unusual temperatures have made the situation worse than usual. The situation this summer is almost the opposite of that last year. This spring was abnormally wet, Mr. Wingfield said, with rainfall amounts of 6.39 inches in April and another 5.18 inches in May. June added another 2.97 inches to the total. Last year, April brought Rappahannock 3.86 inches of precipitation, while May saw only 2.02 inches. That was followed by a scant 1.45 inches in June. While the county’s farmers and gardeners may have been happy (See DROUGHT, p. 18) THIS STORM DUMPED HEAVY rain and hail on Washington.

On Tuesday, the county School Board denied the Children’s Bible Mission’s request to bring a trailer near, but not on, school property and provide religious education in once-a-month, 45-minute sessions for students whose parents give their permission. However, under the prodding of Chairman Beverly Massie, the board directed Superintendent David Gangel to develop policy recommendations for allowing children to be released from school to participate in such programs. “All the members of this board are Christians. We all have churches that we belong to,” Mrs. Massie said. “We all try to feel the pulse of the community and the things that the community feels are of value to the children of the community.” According to a legal opinion secured by the superintendent, the lack of a policy governing release is the only impediment to allowing the Children’s Bible Mission to provide religious education during the school day. Questions regarding the Constitutionally-required separation of church and state had been raised by the “rolling chapel” request. “As far as the letter of the law is concerned, as long as the extracurricular activity is off the school grounds, there’s no legal problem,” Dr. Gangel said. “However, the way it’s approved or disapproved is very important.” He explained that since the request came from the Children’s Bible Mission, to permit release for this extracurricular activity would set a precedent and put the School Board in a position of not being able to deny requests from other groups, even from such organizations as the American Nazi Party. “Basically, the die would be cast,” he warned. To get around this problem, the board would have to set a policy for release and then requests would be decided on the basis of that policy without the board concerning itself with “the quality of the organization” making the request, Dr. Gangel said. As an example, the board could establish policy that provided early release upon the petition of 25 or 50 parents, the superintendent said. Then if that number sought to have their children released for religious instruction at the “rolling chapel,” permission would be granted. Dr. Gangel reported that he’d contacted administrators from other (See CHAPEL, page 18) Welfare Dept, given $1,886 to get $9,415 for elderly The supervisors got a lesson on the intricacies of bureaucratic budgets at their meeting August 3, as social services director Sylvia Kreitler explained the consequences of their decision to cut her 1987-88 budget by approximately $3,000. The money represented the local share of salary for an additional case worker’s position. The action was taken at the behest of Supervisor Newbill Miller, who was opposed to the staff expansion. “Let me see if I can explain this. When you cut my budget and took away that position, you changed the formula for the budget,” Mrs. Kreitler told the supervisors. The cut meant a loss of $9,450 in money for purchased services, which go primarily to the elderly and to children in foster care, she said. “I’m not asking for all of that, but I need $1,886 in order to straighten out our budget,” the social services director said. “There’s a ripple effect,” explained administrative assistant John McCarthy, when Mrs. Kreitler*s request brought no immediate response from the supervisors. The staff reduction meant a concurrent reduction in various line items of the social services budget. he said. ^here s less money, one less person on staff but the same work still has to get done.” “I wanted the other worker for treating the elderly, but that’s okay. We do the best with what we’ve got,” Mrs. Kreitler said. She added that the reduction in purchase power brought by the staff cut affects primarily the elderly who are receiving companion services. Under the companion services program, older people who qualify for Medicare coverage and are no longer able to provide for themselves can get assistance which enables them to stay in their homes as an alternative to receiving substantially more expensive nursing home care. The purchased service from a day helper may involve meal preparation, shopping, overseeing medication schedules, light housework - whatever the elderly cannot do for themselves but is necessary to maintain them in their own home. The $1,086 sought from the board will generate an additional $9,415 from other sources for Rappahannock’s companion services pro gram, according to the social services director. Without that program, “the eight people we're helping now will have to receive more expensive services, say in a nursing home,” Mrs. Kreitlersaid. She noted that the welfare department recently returned $450 to the general fund and would soon add about $400 with the proceeds from sale of the department’s truck. That will offset most of the supplemental appropriation, Mrs. Kreitler pointed out. There was still no response from the supervisors. “Is there any way I can explain this better to you than I have?” she asked. “I’m sorry. I guess this is my fault,” Supervisor Newbill Miller countered. “I just didn’t want to have an additional person on staff. I don’t have any problem with this.” “It will be used for companion services to the elderly?” asked Supervisor Charles Estes. “That’s exactly where it will go,” Mrs. Kreitler told the board. As she was leaving with unanimous authorization for the $1,886 supplemental appropriation, Mr. Estes had a last wuiu. i ouu uuiia ^uure uuing a good job!” In other action at their board meeting August 3, the supervisors: • Granted a special exception permit to Mabelle Keyes for subdivision of 180 acres into four lots and residue. The exception is required because two lots are 22 acres each, just below the minimum 25-acre size for an agricultural zone. However, the overall density of one dwelling unit per 25 acres is not exceeded by the subdivision, which meets all Health Department and Transportation Department standards and local zoning requirements on road frontage, according to Mr. McCarthy. • Enacted an amendment to the county’s land use assessment ordinance to require a $5 yearly revalidation fee to process applications for renewal. • Postponed action on a proposed abandoned car removal program until next month while authorizing Mr. McCarthy to solicit bids on hauling inoperable vehicles from the county. • Killed proposed zoning ordinance amendments which would al(See WELFARE, page 18)

Drug charge nets 10 years A Culpeper County man was sentenced to 10 years in prison last month in Fauquier County Circuit Court after being convicted of distribution of cocaine. Garland S. Butler, 21, of Rt. 1 Box 272, Viewtown, could have been sentenced to as much as 40 years in prison and a $100,000 fine on the charge. “Let the word go out,” said Judge W. Shore Robertson, in his remarks before sentencing. “This court will not tolerate the sale of drugs in this community.” Selling drugs, the judge added, “is one of the most destructive things a human being can do,” and is “the primary cause of criminal activity” in society. Mr. Butler’s attorney, Charles W. Bowman, argued that his client had strong family support, a good employment history and no prior criminal record. Because of these mitigating factors, Mr. Bowman urged, Butler should be given the minimum allowable sentence: five Call 675-3349 Rappahannock' National Bank “Your community bank” Hours: Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Friday evenings 5-7 Gay Street, Washington 703-675-3519 ^ An investment program that works for your Lifetime MFS Lifetime Investment Program What’s the best investment for your financial goals?

He said that Butler “is not a professional dealer” and comes before the court “with his head bowed, asking for mercy.” Butler had testified that he started using drugs in high school after getting involved with “the wrong people.” He said he sold drugs to support his own cocaine habit. Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jonathan S. Lynn disagreed with Mr. Bowman’s argument, pointing out, “Regardless of motive - addiction or greed - distribution is distribution.” Even if the sale for which Butler was charged was the only time he sold drugs, Mr. Lynn added, that made him a drug dealer.

Forest fire danger high The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has issued a warning to outdoorsmen to be extremely careful of the danger of fires in the woods. Lew Southard, a spokesman for the Virginia Division of Forestry, said that five regions of the state report mild drought copditions while the sixth is reporting conditions in the moderate range. He said that a number of small fires, most less than 10 acres, have been reported. The main cause of these forest fires has been lightning strikes. Last week, a lightning-caused fire in the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area in Madison County kept Forest Service and Game Department crews busy for several days. Although the blaze burned less than 10 acres, crews were on the scene 24 hours a day for five days to ensure that the fire did not leap the firebreaks. These lightning-caused fires create particular problems for firefighters because they usually strike high on wooded ridges which are difficult to reach, especially with mechanized fire-fighting equipment. The George Washington National Forest in the Western Piedmont is reporting an “extreme” fire danger. Wayne Kelly, G. W. Forest Supervisor, said that due to the Weather Service’s long-range forecast for only a 20 percent chance of scattered showers during the next 30 days, “more fires are expected.” The situation will only get worse until the forest receives some significant moisture, he added. Three recent fires in the forest were attributed to lightning, the superintendent said, but one started by a careless camper who left a fire unattended burned 62 acres in the Craig Creek area of Rockbridge County. Both federal and state officials stressed the need for extreme caution by anyone venturing into the woods during the current dry spell. Campers should carefully watch their campfires, being sure to create a sufficient cleared area anytime open flames are in use. Drivers of off-road vehicles must also be careful to ensure that fires are not started by their vehicle’s exhaust systems. Federal officials added that there is a federal law which requires the use of an approved spark arrestor system for off-road vehicles and motorized equipment, including chainsaws, being used on federal land. Anyone heading into the'Woods who wants, to check on the local fire danger or needs information about how to guard against forest fires when in the woods should contact their local forestry office, or the office in the area where they are going.

D BABYI./WD Silver-Haired Legislature addresses seniors9 concerns Bv HOWARD W. HOLSCHUH Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Silver-Haired Legislature passed a dozen bills during its threeday session, August 3 to 5, in Richmond, all with the purpose of making life better for senior citizens living throughout the Commonwealth. M^jor items considered and approved by the legislators included expanding long-term, home-based care for the elderly; providing tax relief for people caring for the elderly in their homes; financial assistance for adult day-care centers; the inclusion of dental care, eyeglasses and hearing aids under the Virginia Medical Assistance Services; encouraging the appointment of senior citizens to state boards and commissions and to jobs in the public and private sectors; increased funding for transportation for the elderly and the handicapped provided through local agencies for the aging; establishing a residential repair and renovation program; and repealing the state sales tax on food and nonprescription drugs. Another proposal which engendered considerable debate was one to split any future profits from the Virginia lottery, if approved by the voters in November, between the state Departments of Aging and Education. All of the above measures will be presented to the Virginia' General Assembly next January for its consideration, and possible enactment into law. In addition to their legislative duties, the Silver-Haired delegates were addressed by the state’s highest elected officials. Governor Gerald L. Battles opened the three-day session by charging the delegates to use their imaginations to marry the state’s strong and growing economy with the real needs of the people. Our society is growing older, the governor reminded the delegates. Society must support our seniors, he said, HOWARD HOLSCHUH and our seniors must support society. The legislative process, he emphasized, is based on compromise. “Government produces results, not perfection.” Lt. Gov. Douglas Wilder, in his remarks, referred specifically to many of the proposed bills under consideration. Since 15 percent of the state’s residents are already over 60 years old, and medical technology is prolonging life each year, he said, the issues before us relate to the quality of life each senior may lead. Citing many proposals by title and number, he pointed out the potential impact of each on the older residents of the Commonwealth. It was obvious to the legislators that Mr. Wilder had done his homework before coming to the capitol that morning. Attorney General Mary Sue Terry spoke to the legislature’s final session on Wednesday morning, urging the delegates to build on the opportunities and experiences of the past, and to provide for the future (See SENIORS, p. 4) Now Open Yogurt Delight Plus_ Featuring soft served frozen yogurt Tastes like ice cream, but it's got! f,; * £3 *Yogurt Delight Danes v ^ J e\Afla< variety, ofilavtsrs-a• Many toppings ttt fchdbSe from? “• DeltsandwicheS available * " *'t Hours: Mon. - Thurs. 10 -10 Fri. -Sat. 10-11 Sun. 12 -10 609 Meadowbrook Center (next to Food Lion) Culpeper, Va. 703-825-6142 ®3je peppermint &ttcfe 2nd Annual Summer Sidewalk Sale Aug:. 6-15 All Summer Stock Reduced 50% or More Early Bird Coat Sale 25% off Sizes 0-Jr. 13 Girls 0-20 Boys Daily Drawing For Gift Certificate Up To $50.00 Value Open til 8 Fri.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, AUGUST 13,1987 Editorial Success at the Library This week the Rappahannock County Library will conclude its summer reading program with a presentation by “Puppets by Pizzazz,” a popular touring troupe which played to rave reviews from both parents and children at the library last summer. We’d like to add our own rave review of the library’s summer reading program. According to librarian Dee Brents, attendance at the Wednesday morning programs has averaged about 70 children, up considerably from last year’s figures. When storyteller John Cheatwood stopped by, more than 100 children listened in rapt attention. We think that attendance in those numbers makes the program a success in anyone’s book. In a county of just over 6,000 population, getting 100 children to attend any event is quite a feat. The program is funded from the library’s budget, and most of the work is done by volunteers who donate their time, and sometimes their cash to pay out-of-pocket expenses. The idea of summer reading is to keep children learning, although they may be out of school for a few months. The enrichment they receive goes far beyond the books they might pick up while at the library. There have been arts and crafts, among other activities, along with the books to read. The library’s program has made a difference in the lives of the children who participated. We’d like to thank the library staff, the volunteers, and the performers who stopped by to share their talents. And we’d like to encourage those who haven’t taken advantage of the program to stop by the library thia evening for the puppet show, which begins at 7:30. The summer reading program will return next year, we hope. We also hope to see many of the county’s children there as well. It’s a great way to spend the summer! Letter to the editor Just like Russia To the editor. Concerned citizens of Russia caught tuning their radio to the Voice of America have for decades been dragged from their homes by the KGB to a fate that many Americans would say cannot happen in America. Well - now it already has happened here in America. Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. The act by Congress directs the confinement for a period up to five years for anyone caught, even for the first time, having their home radio or TV set tuned between 825 and 845 megahertz on the dial. Congress passed an act 20-some years ago directing TV set makers to manufacture all new TV sets to receive channels 73, 74 and 75 between 825 and 845 megahertz which now they give to the cellular telephone industry and pe nalize citizens for tuning in on the very TV receivers Congress directed the TV set makers to set the receiving frequency on. It looks like Congress has been so busy being bought by the cellular telephone industry that they forgot to preserve the freedom of the common man to listen to his radio or TV set with the dial where he pleases. That freedom is now gone with the passage of the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986. Which freedom will Congress take away next? If they do for the newspaper what they have done for the radio they would pass a newspaper communications privacy act which would provide a five-year jail term for anyone caught reading a certain page of the newspaper - perhaps the editorial page.

Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan DESPITE THE DROUGHT, bee balm, black-eyed susans and berries continue to flourish in an overgrown field. Water (Continued from Page 1) In addition, Rollison called on the State Department of Education to consider mandated water education in the public schools, following the example set by Texas which has made water education part of the standard curriculum in 3rd-6th grade social studies texts and in high school physical science books. Other speakers criticized the lack of regulation and monitoring for private and public water supplies. “There’s a better than 50-50 chance that my well contains unacceptable levels of bacteria and chemcials^ said William Howell of Fredericksburg. “What can I do about it? And more importantly, why didn’t anybody tell me about it before now?” He pointed out that the recent progress in cleaning up the pollution in the Chesapeake Bay came only after 20 years of lobbying on the part of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to convince governments and people that a problem even existed. “We don’t have 20 years to convince them there’s a threat to groundwater,” he ' said, adding that cleaning up surface water is “child’s play” compared to pollution abatement of groundwater. “This is not simply an environmental issue. It’s a survival issue.” Bob Lee, Clarke County’s administrator, warned that “if the problems are worse than we think, remediation may not be feasible.” Recalling Clarke County’s experience in dealing with contamination, he stressed that “with groundwater pollution, corrective action is often not an alternative.” According to Lee, the state is uniquely qualified to handle some aspects of groundwater protection: promulgation of minimal standards for construction of wells and septic fields; regulation of underground petroleum storage tanks; standards for landfill sites; chemical sale and application standards; requirements for agricultural best management practices; public education; and pollution clean-up. But the state should give local governments authority to take in^ pact on groundwater into consideration in zoning and land use decisions. It should also allow localities to enact more stringent regulations for construction of wells and septic systems “when the minimum may not be adequate (and) when it can be determined that a (pollution) threat exists,” he said. “It should be a reciprocal relationship, with the state guiding while leaving local government the authority to address the problems that it knows exist,” Lee concluded. Other approaches were suggested by incumbents and board candidates from Prince William County: • “a preventive rather than crisis approach to groundwater management,” with local authority to require centralized, more easily monitored private wells and to enact tougher regulations governing well abandonment and small, privately operated water and sewer systems in addition to those for new well construction. • “more openess” on the state’s part in releasing raw data on pollution problems to local health departments and groundwater experts. • enabling legislation, particularly for rapidly growing counties, that would allow local government to control groundwater withdrawals. • funding, from the state’s “deeper pockets” for groundwater data collection. “The land use above is directly responsible for what happens to the groundwater below,” maintained Terry Barrett, supervisor candidate from Nokesville. “Local government needs the tools to control the impact of growth on the quality and quantity of groundwater.” Identifying himself as a board candidate and a groundwater user, Bill Becker listed consumer education, adequate testing and local authority to protect water quality as three areas where the General As sembly must act. “People are generally ignorant on the state of this resource and how we impact on its use . . . over-fertilizing the lawn, dumping old motor oil on the ground, using salt to clear the ice from the walk and driveway, burying an animal in the backyard - we consumers just do not understand the impact of all these things on our water, and therefore, we often do the wrong things.” Under questioning from Sen. Wiley Mitchell, health department representatives confirmed that the only regular aquifer monitoring comes through the “routine testing” of 300 wells around the state. Neither the health department nor any other state agency has an obligation to test the water quality of existing or new private wells: “If it’s not going to be a community water supply, you’re on your own,” said the health department representative. And even those who drink from public water sources are on their own to some degree. According to the health department, full-spectrum testing is done only on community water systems. Water for hotels, restaurants and other public systems serving transients is tested only for bacteria and nitrate - not for hazardous chemicals - and then the testing comes only upon issuance of a permit. Continuous, periodic monitoring and complete analysis is done solely for community water supplies. “We’re all preaching the same gospel here,” noted Loudoun’s Supervisor Brownell, in asking that the Commission carry the recommendations back to the General Assembly for action. Judging from the Commission’s response, the message was getting across. “We hope that meaningful legislation will come out of this meeting,” concluded Chairman Charles Colgan.

Seniors (Continued from Page 3) needs of not only the elderly but also the disadvantaged and the handicapped. Citing her own role as official state Consumer Advisor, Mrs. Terry said seniors are especially vulnerable to fraud and other criminal activity. She concluded, “The future is in our own hands - which is precisely where we want it to be.” Another speaker who captured the delegates’ attention was Dr. Richard Lindsay, chief of geriatric services at the University of Virginia Hospitals, and a member of the Governor’s Advisory Board on Aging. He cited the following statistics: the most rapidly growing segment of society is the over-75 age group; by 2000, there will be 100,000 Americans more than 100 years old; and, while more Americans are reaching advanced age with normal functions, by 2040 some 7 million Americans will have Alzheimer’s Disease. The fear of dying, he said, has been replaced by the fear of living too long. However, the rate of physical and mental decline can be slowed by physical exercise and good health care, Dr. Lindsay told the group. For most Silver-Haired dele gates, the law-making process began in June, when they were asked to submit ideas, suggestions or problem areas which they felt should be addressed by the body. These suggestions were assimilated, modified and/or combined by legislative aides in Richmond into 15 proposed bills, which were then assigned to each of the five standing committees: Social Services, Health, Courts of Justice and General Laws, Housing and Education, and Labor, Commerce and Finance. Each delegate was assigned to a committee based on their request. Committee sessions had all the realism of regular law-making procedures. Expert witnesses were called to testify on the pros and cons of the proposed legislation, and an open discussion among the committee members followed the testimony. Sallie Morgan of Sperryville, coordinator of aging services in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center, which serves the five counties of Planning District 9, was among the witnesses. She testified on the merits of a bill to exempt up to $3,000 spent annually by a taxpayer to care for an elderly or disabled person in their home, and the bill to repeal the state sales tax on food and non-prescription drugs. Debate among the committee members ranged from the impact and cost of each proposed measure to nit-picking commas and semicolons. Two draft bills failed to win committee approval, and two others were combined into one measure. The 12 remaining draft bills were then referred to the full assembly of 127 delegates, where debate continued on the floor of the state capitol building. A last-minute attempt by antilottery delegates to kill the lottery apportionment bill failed, and the proposal to split any lottery profits evenly between the Departments of Aging and Education passed by a simple majority. Most of the other 11 bills were adopted by the full assembly by nearly unanimous votes. Throughout, the delegates to the Silver-Haired Legislature took their tasks seriously, and were on time and business-like at all sessions. They were also on time boarding buses which transported them to and from the various functions at the state capitol and the various lun cheons, receptions and banquets held in their honor. Most appeared to enjoy the food, and nearly left “happy plates” at their places after each meal. The 127 delegates, all over 60 years of age, each representing one of Virginia’s cities or counties, were housed in the Virginia Commonwealth University student dormitory, and ate breakfast in the school’s cafeteria. Other meals were served in various parts of the city. A remark overheard by one of the delegates seemed to sum up the event for all the legislators: “The whole experience was very worthwhile, except that there were so many old people around.” Mr. Holschuh served as Rappahannock County’s delegate to the Silver-Haired Legislature. He is a ^ retired Navy captain, and both he and his wife Helen are active in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program sponsored by the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Center. Mr. Holschuh has also served for six years as the volunteer editor of the Voice of Experience, a newsletter for and about seniors published by RRC SC.

Understanding brain power A computer as complex as this would be higher than a skyscraper and cover the state of Virginia six times over. But it weighs only three pounds, and it is your brain. It controls every aspect of your behavior, from simple actions such 88 walking, talking, or smiling, to complex functions such as learning, thinking and composing music. This may seem obvious, but exactly how the brain works is still a mysteiy - the key to which, some scientists and engineers hope, will be the computer chip. “The brain is immensely complex, and the structure and function of many of its parts are still poorly understood,” said Eric Kandel and James Schwartz, editors of a reference book on the subject. The task of neural scientists is to find out how the brain uses nerve cells called neurons and other cells to control behavior and how the functioning of these cells is affected by the behavior of other people and by environmental factors. Much of the progress in the study of brain and behavior has resulted from technological advances,” said David Harrison, assistant professor of psychology at Virginia Tech. For example, the discovery of electricity and subsequent studies of electrical phenomena led scientists to another discovery - that nerve cells also produce electricity and that these cells use electrical impulses to relay information to each other. “Studies of electrical phenomena in the 18th century cued us in to the fact that the brain had electrical activity and that this varied with learning and other types of behavior,” Prof. Harrison said. The EEG, or electroencephalograph, has been devised to record the rhythmical electric current that passes through the brain. The patterns obtained can be correlated with the body’s physiological condition (such as sleep), or ■ pathological state (such as epilepsy). In recent years, computer and electronic technology have been employed in brain research efforts. In 1982, engineers implanted an electronic chip about the size of a thumbnail in the brain of a laboratory beagle. The aim was to monitor on an EEG the brain patterns produced as a result of visual stimulation, such as shining a light in the dog’s eyes. Working with the Air Farce Institute of Technology in Dayton, Ohio, researchers at Virginia Tech are seeking to make a better chip, one that will include analog-to-digital converters. These converters will allow data to be digitized at the site > of the Implant, producing abrain signal that is “clean and crisp,” said John McKeeman, assistant professor of electrical engineering. Implanting a chip in the visual cortex (the part of the brain that processes and recognizes what the eye sees) may provide clues to the recognition process. If scientists can better understand image analysis in the brain, they may one day be able to develop devices that stimulate the brain and help the blind “see,” Prof. McKeeman said. In Texas, an electrical engineer at Southern Methodist University and a neuroscientist at North Texas State University have undertaken a joint study on how human brain cells Hearing Sept. 11 on Vets9 issues The Virginia Commission on Veterans’ Affairs will conduct its last public hearing on Friday Sept. 11 beginning at 10 a.m. in House Room “C” of the General Assembly Building (Ninth and Broad Streets) in Richmond. The Commission is the state governmental organization authorized by law to study all matters affecting Virginia’s war veterans, their dependents, and survivors and make recommendations to the state legislature. At this meeting the Commission will take testimony from individual veterans, representatives of veterans’ organizations, and other concerned persons about any veteran-related problems or concerns which need to be brought to the attention of Virginia’s state law-makers. Persons wishing to address the Commission on these or other matters affecting Virginia's veterans or their dependents are requested to contact Alan Wambold at (804) 7863591 in advance of the hearing to ensure their being placed on the agenda. The Commission would very much appreciate being supplied with a written copy or copies of speakers’ remarks.

The research could help decipher the patterns of information processing, including memory, within the complex electrical activity of those cells. Increased knowledge of the brain may help engineers make better robots and artificial intelligence systems that reflect the brain’s architecture. “We’re always trying to build a system that resembles what we have inside our own heads,” said Prof. Harrison. Scientists have not always agreed on the relationship between brain and behavior. It began as a philosophical debate between religion and science. One side held that the mind or soul and the body were the same thing, while the other view insisted that the two were very separate entities. Then the scientists themselves became divided between the “localization” theorists, those who believed that special areas of the brain are responsible for specific functions - and the “mass action” proponents, those who thought that the whole mass of the brain, rather than particular neurons in specific areas, is more important to brain function. Any part of the brain, according to the latter view, can perform all of its functions. ah advocate oi tms argument was Karl Lashley, an influential professor of psychology at Harvard during the early 20th century. He tried to find the locus of learning by studying the effects of various brain lesions on the ability of rats to find their way out of a maze. Dr. Lashley found that how badly the learning ability was affected by damage to the brain depended on the extent of damage, not its precise location. Subsequent studies, however, have shown that the maze experiment wasn’t conclusive because maze learning involves many complex motor and sensory capabilities. Deprived of one capability, an animal can still learn with another. In the late 1950s, Wilder Penfield and ether scientists conducted experiments on human beings as well as animals that dramatically confirmed that all behavior - whether it has to do with learning or emotion - can be traced to specific systems in the brain.

Miss Reuling, a 26-year-old resident of Clarke County, is the sister of Ginger Miller of Washington, Va. She will join four other women and nine men in the assault on the mountain’s north face in Tibet. The south face has been climbed more frequently, primarily because Nepal has afforded easier access to Everest. But in the early 1960s, the Chinese government began allowing climbers to approach the mountain through Tibet. Miss Reuling’s expedition comes under the auspices of the Seattle-based Mountain Madness. Although she has never before attempted Everest, she has extensive climbing experience. As a guide for Mountain Madness, she leads climbing groups out of Seattle and Tanzania, in East Africa, the site of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Last year, she scaled Mount McKinley in Alaska, the highest mountain in North America. The actual climb to the peak should take only a few days. But establishing a base camp and outposts further up Everest’s slope will take two to three months, the work accomplished at high altitudes where dizziness and nausea turn routine tasks into challenges. In addition, there’s the constant threat of avalanche, fatigue and frostbite. And if that isn’t enough, the caprice of weather can end the adventure well before the final push to the peak. “A lot of climbing is luck,” Miss Reuling conceded in a recent interview. Even if the weather cooperates, the odds are against any single member of the expedition planting the flag on Everest’s summit. “Of 14 climbing, for two to go to the top would be an achievement,” she said. to speak at picnic Governor Gerald L.

Va Trust uour chi Id 1 someone nas ooserved tnat tne opposite or trust is not mis-trust but fear." This holds water in all areas of life where trust is called for, but especially within the family circle. We don't trust children because WE FEAR what they will do with freedom. Certainly, sometimes they blow it. Yet, most of the time they handle it with responsibility, given the long range of things and enough time. Often we do not trust our offsprings because we fear our parenting was short, inadequate. Yet, most of us are ■ better parents than we dare imagine. But if we don't trust our children, what choice have H we? Lock them in cages of imprisoning rules? Forfeit real W security for immediate safety? W Jesus' story about the Prodigal Son comes into clear T focus for us. All the loving father could do was trust—trust I that his son would make it home, f And he did. CopyngN 1987. KMHHHm m«^np» Smm.

Peaches - plentiful, delicious By SANDRA RICHARDSON ExtcMkm Agent, Home Economic* Rappahannock’s fresh peach crop is in full swing. In 1986, Virginia peaches ranked seventh out of 32 states producing peaches. The 1986 harvest was 667,000 bushels. Growers purposely plant peach varieties that ripen at different times during the season. This way, just when one variety is finished, another variety is getting ripe. Some varieties are naturally small in size, while others are naturally large. Peaches were first grown in ancient China and symbolized long life and immortality. Artifacts show peaches and their beautifl blossoms were painted on porcelain vases. Caravans brought the peach to Persia where it was called “Persian Fruit.” Later as it traveled to Europe, it became known as “Persian Apple.” The Spaniards are credited with bringing peaches to the New World to what is known as Florida. Captain John Smith and the early English colonists found peaches growing wild, probably the results of the earlier Spanish introduction. Both the English colonists and the French began to plant them. The Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony ordered peach stones in 1629 from England. The Indians are credited with spreading the peach culture across the U.S. as they migrated westward. The peach offers three major nutrients, vitamins A and C and iron. Peaches are sodium-free and low calorie. A medium-size peach contains only 37 calories; a half-cup serving of sliced fresh peaches contains about 40 calories. Peaches are about 87 percent water, which makes them so refreshing as a summer fruit. They have fewer calories than either apples or pears; their protein and fat content is negligible. Yellow-fleshed peaches are especially rich in vitamin A, containing more than four times as much as an orange of the same size. Be sure to eat the peel of the peach for flavor and necessary fiber. One pound of fresh peaches is about 3-4 medium-size peaches - or 2 cups of sliced peaches - or IVe cups of pulp. If you are canning or freezing, lVi lbs. makes about 1 pint of either. One bushel (48 lbs) makes . 18-24 quarts of canned peaches. Two to three pounds of peaches should equal about 1 quart of preserved product. Peaches are probably at their best when eaten out of hand. But bfe-^ fore one begins any type of preparation, a few tips might be heeded. When' peeling, it is not recommended to dip small amounts of peaches in boiling water, then in cold water to remove skins. Since peaches are delicate, the top layer of fruit can be cooked if the peaches are held in boiling water too long. This will make the quality less desirable for preserving. No matter how you eryoy peaches, measures need to be taken to prevent darkening. There are several methods, some more effective than others. The best way is to use a crystalline or powdered ascorbic acid mixture following directions given on the package. Another way is to use any type of citrus fruit juices, such as orange or lemon. But to be effective, this must be used full strength. Drinks, desserts, jams and cakes are but a few ways this favorite may be used. Here are a few ideas that will surely make your mouth water.

Crisis often spurs change Joy JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer I think that most people, deep down inside, have an inherent potential for a strong will. This is accompanied by a strong sense of determination to make changes in their lives when they need to be made. This will and determination become most evident with people who are trying to lose weight, quit smoking or make some other rruyor, longterm change in their lives. Although it is sometimes unclear why an individual may have decided to make those positive changes, all too often it is because they are experiencing some type of personal crisis. The overweight man who decided to begin an exercise program may have made that commitment after his doctor warned him about his high blood pressure. The woman who finally got serious about dieting may have done so after she was told by her doctor that she had hypoglycemia. It may take treatment for ulcers to make another person decide it is time to deal with the stress which is troubling his life. And parents may finally decide to go to family counseling after their young son has a brush with the law. Wouldn’t it have been nice, and ■;F R E E,^j earing!

Anyone who has trouble hearing or understanding words clearly is welcome to come in for a free test using the latest electronic equipment to determine the presence and extent of a hearing loss. Everyone, especially senior citizens, should have this hearing test at least once a year. Even those now wearing an aid or those who have been told that an aid wont help will benefit from taking the test and finding out about the latest kinds of help available. If you're not able to come to the Beltone Hearing Aid Center please can today to arrange a free in-home hearing test easier, and less emotionally trying, if some of these changes could have been made without such drastic and difficult circumstances having developed first? In my practice, I often see people accomplish a variety of tasks once they set their minds to it. As a sidelight, once they accomplish their goals, it is usually quite interesting to hear what had originally been the obstacle in their path. There’s an old saying which sums up the situation: “See a man as he is and he will remain stagnant. See him as what he is capable of being and you help him grow.” Unfortunately, all too often it seems to be our own view of ourselves which holds us back. In that case, it takes a crisis, sometime a major one, to make us change our perspective in order to reevaluate the situation and decide to make that positive change.

Diabetic’s health a serious concern The most dangerous type of diabetic is the one who thinks he’s borderline and denies his illness. These persons often won’t follow treatment and are more likely to develop the serious complications of the disease. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney disease and even to possible amputations. The real danger of diabetes is not sugar. It’s denial. Until you accept the reality of the illness, you can’t take control. The diabetic who isn’t serious about his disease is the most difficult person to treat or educate. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body doesn’t produce or properly use the insulin that converts starches into the energy needed for daily life. It can lead to serious complications that involve nearly every tissue in the body. A healthy lifestyle, including good diet, exercise and no smoking can reduce the risks of developing heart disease, cancer and diabetes - the three leading causes of death in the United States. All Americans can benefit from less sugar, less fat and more fiber. The diabetic diet is a healthy diet for all people. Many have diabetes and don’t know it. The following recipes were taken from the Cookbook for Diabetics and Their Families. Deep-dish apple pie Ingredients: Sugar substitute to equal 1/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind 21/2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 4 small apples, sliced 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup reduced-calorie margarine 3 tablespoons cold water Steps in preparation: 1.

Head for mountain grown cabbage If you are looking for flavor and crunch without calories, head for cabbage. August is the beginning of a two-month peak supply from Virginia’s cabbage patches. Discover the great taste and low calorie content of freshly cut cabbage while it is plentiful. A cup of raw or cooked cabbage has only 20 calories, so you can fill up on it without exceeding your daily calorie allowance. For the best flavor, cabbage should not be overcooked. When it is, the texture is mushy, the flavor is strong and the color is destroyed. Instead cook cabbage quickly in the microwave oven, stir-fried in a wok or in a steamer. Try these low calorie finishing touches for cabbage. Braise cabbage in beef or chicken broth, apple juice or wine instead of water. Sprinkle steamed cabbage wedges with caraway seed, toasted sesame seed, dill weed or Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese. Bliss9 visit Recent visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Murphy J.

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.

Starks places second in state Tyrone Starks of Washington placed second in the 4-H/FFA Performance-Carcass Lamb Show. His lamb, which took reserve champion honors, won Tyrone a trophy and a $125 award. A total of 57 lambs were entered in the state-wide competition. They were judged on the amount of weight which they gained during the contest period (May 23 to August 1), a live judging at the Culpeper Farm Show, and the yield grade, which is determined after the animal is slaughtered. Tyrone’s lamb had a yield of 56.7 percent dressed, which is above average. Its loin measured 3.3 inches, also above average. The lamb’s average daily weight gain was .672 pound per day. The final carcass yield judging was held at Rocco Further Processing in Timberville. Three other Rappahannock 4-H members also entered the contest. Greg Williams entered two animals, one of which finished eighth, the other 49th. Michael Brown’s lamb finished in 14th place. Amy Richardson also entered one animal, which placed 19th in the competition. This was the first year for the performance-carcass lamb show. The Extension Service found sufficient interest in the competition to plan for it to be a yearly event. Other residents interested in information about any of the 4-H activities should contact the Extension Office^675-3619. Trout fishing halted in park The persistent and prolonged drought that has gripped much of the southeastern portion of the nation has made its presence known in Shenandoah National Park streams. Water shortages have been evidence in some of the park’s domestic water supplies, but more critical to date have been the shortages found in aome of the park streams. Native eastern brook trout populations, already depleted by a poor spawning season, are being threatened due to low water levels and increased water temperatures. As a result Park Superintendent Ronald Wiye has announced the closure of the entire park, except the fish-for-fun streams, to fishing in order to protect these native trout popoluations. The temporary closure, which went into effect August 10, applies to all streams within the boundaries of Shenandoah National Park. The Rapidan and Staunton Rivers, being classified as fish-for-fun streams, will remain open for fishing. This action will be rescinded at such time as conditions in these streams return to normal. Shenandoah National Park contains some of the finest populations of native brook trout in the eastern United States. They are, however, very susceptible to changes in their habitat including temperature, water quality and quantity. Likewise, they are extremely susceptible to fishing pressures. Hence, Park management is sensitve to environmental changes such as the current drought when managing the trout fishery within Shenandoah National Park and has taken this action to afford every possible protection to the trout populations in these streams. Extension Field Day The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture at the Virginia State University, will sponsor its third annual Crop Field Day. It will be held Tuesday Aug. 25 beginning at 1:30 p.m. at Virginia State University’s Randolph Farm. This year’s Field Day display will feature 15 com varieties and eight different soybeans. Dinner will be provided at the demonstration site. Pre-registration forms must be sent in by Wednesday Aug. 19.

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.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden Rural life BACKYARD NATURALIST. By Craig Tuffs, National Wildlife Federation A perennial pest By CRAIG TUFTS Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer As fanners and home gardeners alike reap the summer’s bounty of fresh vegetables, many are also locked into a perennial battle with local groundhogs intent on harvesting the garden’s productivity for themselves. Whether it breaks an axle on the tractor, or eats all the gorgeous zucchini you thought was destined for the dinner table, the groundhog is an infuriating, and uninvited, visitor to fields and gardens. And, when fall rolls around, farmers and gardeners will doubtless breathe a sigh of relief, for the cold weather brings with it the end of another year’s war with the furry varmint. I’ve sometimes believed that the groundhog is a family curse. I came to Virginia from New Jersey. Mom still lives in New Jersey. She has groundhogs. Brother Bob, who lives down the street from Mom — he’s got groundhogs too. Actually, Mom has given up vegetable gardening and no longer battles her groundhogs. But Bob periodically experiences fits of rage, brought on by these gargantuan tunnelers, and he makes inroads on their population so that his family can epjoy a few quarts of homegrown tomatoes come January. I too have groundhogs. I’ve been plagued by these fossorial food processors for 10 years now. I’ve wondered at times if I must live with them for the rest of my life. Groundhogs (or wood chucks) are the world’s largest squirrel. Zoologists lodge Marmota monax right in between the tree squirrel such as our gray bushy tail and the prairie dog. A groundhog is a phenomenal digger, spends most of its time foraging close to its underground labyrinth but is perfectly capable of climbing trees for food or to escape from enemies. These short-tailed critters may weigh up to 14 pounds. I hope one never falls out of a tree as I walk beneath it. Ranging throughout the eastern U. S. into the Midwest and much of Canada, groundhogs graze mostly on grasses and wildflowers. If their home is in the suburbs, however, they snack voraciously on our beans, marigolds, canteloupes and other succulents. One tactic to try to outwit a groundhog is to fence it out. Here’s how: Dig heavy-duty galvanized fencing two feet deep in the ground, with an additional six to eight inches of fencing angling out and down from the two-foot mark. Bury the fence which then lines the perimeter of your garden. You might add an electric fence atop the galvanized one. In my own yard, I’ve put all my vegetables in raised beds constructed of pressure-treated lumber. It’s very easy to fence such a garden because the posts that anchor the lumber are also used to anchor the fence. Aitnougn a groundhog may consider going underneath, in this case my absolutely miserable, clayey, rocky soil is a blessing. Groundhogs are no more willing to tunnel through it than through concrete. Actually, I can’t complain yet this year. Groundhogs have not attempted to enter my garden, nor have they bothered my unfenced plants. I think perhaps they have found enough food in the clovers, evening primroses and succulent grasses of my natural meadow garden nearby. At any rate, they’ve done no real damage and I’m beginning to believe that I’ve discovered a couple of cures for the family curse.

August will see ‘Harmonic Convergence’ As part of a global event planned for Sunday and Monday, August 16 and 17, a group of county residents is organizing activities to participate in the weekend-long celebration of spirituality and peace. According to the organizers, this “Harmonic Convergence” has emerged as the most recent Global Healing Event, building on the World Healing Event held last Deember 31. The vision, they said, is to generate a sufficient mass of participants in prayer, celebrations, gatherings and community projects, linked by the world’s media, to shift the collective consciousness of the world’s population from fear to love.' Events of this magnitude, they added, call forth the life force of participants, and empower those involved to fully express themselves as planetary healers, to bond in the heart with others in genuine community. There will be a one-hour global meditation at noon, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), on Sunday, August 16, as well as a shared sunrise ceremony on the same day at selected sacred, natural and historic sites around the globe, the organizers said. The “Harmonic Convergence” will attempt to involve, both directly and by media coverage, some two billion people in an unprecedented global celebration featuring concerts, gatherings, ceremonies and local community projects to bless and heal Mother Earth, For information and free printed material about the weekend cele bration, as well as plans for local involvement, please stop by the Middle Street Gallery in Washington during regular Gallery hours (Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

The show is the August meteor showers, predicted to peak Thursday, August 13, according to James Madison University astronomy buff Henry Leap. Prof. Leap, who is a physics laboratory specialist and helps conduct the ongoing series of shows at JMU’s Wells Planetarium, said the summer sky is filled with stars, planets and distant galaxies to stimulate the imagination and conjure up the ancient mythology of the Greeks and Romans. Perhaps best known are the August meteor showers, called the Perseids. Their name comes from the constellation Perseus, named after the hero who rescued the beautiful princess Andromeda from Cetus, the dreaded sea monster. According to Prof. Leap, each meteor shower is given a name that is based on the constellation from MONASTERY \ Giftohop ^ Not all monastariaa liva by broad (and frultcaks) alona as wa do. Around tha world, around tha country, monastarias support thamsalvas with tholr own prizod spacialltias.

The Perseids last for several days. While the show is visible on clear nights during the second week in August, “typically the meteors are better to watch after midnight,” Prof. Leap said. Like all meteor showers, the Perseids are associated with a particular comet. Theirs is called Swift Tuttle, according to Prof. Leap. With Mother Nature to provide clear skies, a pair of binoculars or, better still, a small telescope, the August skies can unfold for the casual observer. In the southern sky, the planet Saturn and its rings are visible with a small telescope, Dr. Leap said. The planet is located in the constellation Scorpius and is near Antares, the giant red star. The color of that star indicates its cooler temperature. The hottest stars in the sky have a blue tint. to give some perspective to the site of Antares, Prof. Leap compared it to the sun’s size. If Antares were in the same place as our sun, the Earth would be a part of that giant star rather than a planet revolving around it. The best viewing time for Saturn is any time after sunset, although the early evening is generally the best, Dr. Leap said. Later in the evening, around 11, Jupiter can be viewed in the east. It’s the brightest star in the eastern sky during this time of year. With the aid of either binoculars or a small telescope, the Galilean moons of Jupiter are visible. On clear, dark nights, the Milky Way, the galaxy which Earth is in, is visible as a wide band of star dusters that stretches east to south. Later in the evening, the Andromeda Galaxy, located in the constellation Andromeda, is visible. l%* Let GoodYear Take You Home More people ride on Good Year than any other brand Save On Tractor Fronts • Sava On Tough, Hard-Pulling Tractor Roars 1.

Drought (Continued from Page 1) with the rainfall totals this spring, those smiles must have turned to worried frowns as June dragged into July and the rain didn’t come. In July, there was a total of 1.97 inches of rain. That meager total included 18 days in which a total of .33 inch of precipitation was recorded by Mr. Wingfield’s rain gauge. During that same period, there were 15 days where the mercury soared to 90 degrees or above, and another where it missed the mark by only one degree. Overall, the average temperature for July was IV2 degrees warmer than in July 1986. Mr. Wingfield said that there has not been a comparable hot spell since 1983, when he recorded 16 days with temperatures 90 or above. And, at least so far, August has brought no relief. Mr. Wingfield has measured only .82 inch of precipitation so far this month, while the comparable reading was 1.97 inches for the first 11 days of August 1986. There have also been another three days with temperatures above 90 degrees. The overall temperature reading, Mr. Wingfield added, is even higher than July’s when compared to last year. So far, daytime temperatures for August are running four degrees higher than in last August. The same comparison for nighttime temperatures yields a six-degree rise. In other words, those county residents who have observed that it seems too hot to sleep are right. It is, at least, hotter than normal during the nighttime hours. Although most people’s gardens are withering, it is of course the farmers and orchardists who will be hurt the most by the lack of rain. “The apples haven’t grown in a month,” Charles Foster observed recently. “They’re just sitting there.” Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock Co-op and a cattle producer, said that his farm near Boston hasn’t received any significant rain since June. He added that he and his neighbors are feeding their cattle “just like wintertime.” All the hay which had been stockpiled for winter is being used now. And the hay, of course, is not growing because of the lack of rain. This year’s first cutting was good due to the spring rains, but most county farmers report little or no growth after that cutting. It’s not just Rappahannock which is suffering, Mr. Wingfield said. On his return from vacation, he said that the entire northeastern U. S. is covered by a blanket of haze. In Washington, D. C., it’s possible that the city may set a record for the hottest summer ever. Average temperatures are running at 80.3 degrees, above the previous record of 80 degrees. And, Mr. Wingfield said, the meterologists say that each day which passes breaks another record. While Washington, D. C., was reporting days in which the mercury topped 100 degrees, Mr. Wingfield saw his highest temperatures on July 25, and again August 3. On both days the thermometer soared to 97 degrees, the hottest this summer. The lack of rain is just another factor, he said. To miss the average for monthly rainfall by only a halfinch, as happened in June, might not seem like much, Mr. Wingfield said. But, “if you get a half-inch one day it may make or break the crop — save it until the next rain comes.” “I’m just a little guy who plants a garden,” he said. “When I think about those farmers, I feel for anyone who depends for their livelihood on Mother Nature.” Welfare (Continued from Page 1) low and regulate taxidermy businesses. e Agreed to readvertise when the construction market slows down this fall for bids on installation of an elevator and other work to make the courthouse accessible to handicapped people.

Their response to the optional program for religious education was “very, very positive,” with the majority indicating “no problems.” But one administrator did say he had received “a number of telephone calls, concerns from parents about why it was going on,” Dr. Gangeladded. As to the “rolling chapel’s” effect on the rest of the RCES educational program, the superintendent said, “Any release time has an impact on the curriculum.” Affirming that the trailer can’t be parked on school property, Dr. Gangel noted that CBM’s request is for the “rolling chapel” to be located near the elementary school. “Where would it be set up?” asked board member Bill Oliver. “I assume they’d use property out near the road (presumably nearer Route 211). . . county property.” the superintendent replied. As to potential liability, Dr. Gangel explained that parents would be required to sign a waiver, relieving the School Board of responsibility once the children left the school grounds for the religious education program. “However, that doesn’t preclude the possibility of a legal problem if something happened to a child” going to or from the “rolling chapel,” he cautioned. “Could a child just raise a hand and say ‘I want to go’?” Mr. Oliver questioned. Written parental permission would be required before a child would be allowed to participate, Dr. Gangel said. And information on the availability of this religious education would be disseminated through flyers sent home by the school, he added. “I don’t see how you can allow students to leave school property,” said board member Bryant Lee. “How can you be sure where they’ve gone?” he said, adding that the school could not maintain communication with the “rolling chapel” without creating problems relative to the Constitutional provision fpr separation of church and state. “You wouldn’t have any way to ensure that they’ve all gotten there.” Dr. Gangel concurred that the more communication the school has with the “rolling chapel,” the greater the chance of establishing grounds for charges of sponsorship of a particular religion. ““I don’t see how it can work,” Mr-'Lee maintained. Asked by the chairman for his position, board member Paul Nichols affirmed his opposition. “I haven’t changed,” said the Wake field District representative who voted last month with Mr. Lee to deny the Children’s Bible Mission request. “Fifty years ago - it might have been all right back then,” he said, adding that the programs in nearby school divisions might be considered as “grandfathered in.” “How many new school districts have this ‘rolling chapel’?” “I don’t have that information,” Dr. Gangel replied. Mr. Lee asked which classes children would skip to attend the religious education program. That’s impossible to say since students would be coming out of various classes, presumably all day long during the one day per month the “rolling chapel” visits, the superintendent said. “So they’ll just pull in and the kids will leave classes? How are the teachers going to teach the rest of the kids with part of the students gone?” Mr. Lee asked. Based on the experience in neighboring jurisdictions, that won’t pose a problem since “generally 90 percent of the class goes,” Dr. Gangel said. "so you re saying it could be gotten around if there is a policy for release time?” Mrs. Massie asked the superintendent when there were no further questions. With his reaffirmation that a release policy would remove the Constitutional problems involved with allowing religious education during school time, board member Nancy Reeve asked for the superintendent’s recommendation on the Children’s Bible Mission request. “My recommendation is not to do it,” Dr. Gangel said. “ Based on the way the request came in, you’d be in an extremely difficult legal situation.” “You also heard that we can establish a policy for release time,” Mrs. Massie reminded her fellow board members. Mr. Oliver maintained that the two issues - CBM’s request and a release policy - should be addressed separately. “We should decide yes or no” on the “rolling chapel” and then address “what type of policy we’re going to have for fiiture requests of this nature.” Mr. Nichols’ motion to deny CBM’s proposal was seconded by Mr. Lee. “I don’t think that 45 minutes or an hour out of the schedule is going to do that much damage to the children’s education, so I take that argument with a grain of salt,” said Mr. Oliver. He noted that he’d received telephone calls from both sides on this issue: those strongly in f^ypr of allowing optional religious education during the school day and those strongly opposed. “There’s not going to be a right answer that makes ev Eileen M.

I think we must deny this request as it’s presented, but we should give consideration to establishing a policy for release time.” With no farther comment from the other board members, the motion for denial of CBM’s proposal passed unanimously. Mrs. Massie asked for “additional requests.” How many parents would have to ask for release time before the board would consider the petition, asked Mrs. Reeve. A policy on release time could carry the stipulation that “there would have to be ‘X’ number of calls from parents who thought it (the program involved) would be appropriate for the community,” said Mrs. Massie, without citing a specific number. Would bus transportation be provided for the children at the end of the religious education program, asked Mrs. Reeve. As with the Boy Scouts and 4-H, “transportation is an item they would have to take care of themselves,” the chairman maintained, asking again for “the board’s pleasure.” With no response forthcoming, Mrs. Massie asked vicechairman Bill Oliver to take the gavel and then she offered the motion directing the superintendent to formulate a policy recommendation. After a pause, Nancy Reeve seconded, adding “I think we should have a policy.” The motion passed, 4-0. (Paul Nichols had momentarily left the meeting room before the motion was put on table and returned seconds after the vote.) Early closed session “Communications and Petitions” come at the top of the School Board’s agenda. However, on Tuesday, those who had earlier notified the central office of their desire to speak on the “rolling chapel” issue weren’t heard until after 10 p.m. when the board returned to open session following a private hour and a half meeting with representatives from the architectural firm which is handling the high school building project. Other parents who had waited, hushing and patting crying babies and entertaining active pre-schoolers, were told by the chairman that questions and comments from those who had not notified the office in advance wouldn’t be entertained until the end of the meeting. In support of the Children’s Bible Ministry request, Mrs. Massie read letters from: • The Sunday School class of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, saying that it provides “quality, non-de nomination^ Bible study” important to the understanding of the JudeoChristian culture and that the way the program is handled in Culpeper schools “in no way brings recriminations on those who chose not to par- ^ ticipate.” • Pat Watson, minister at Mt. Lebanon, who said the program will acquaint children with “the facts and concepts pertinent to the founding and keeping of this nation.” Mr. Watson noted that the Bible “shaped the thinking of civilizations and this nation in particular.” • Howard Holschuh, who reported that he had visited the “rolling chapel” at Floyd T. Binns School in Culpeper and had been “impressed by the enthusiasm of the children.” Calling the program “a worthwhile adjunct to secular education,” he acknowledged originating the proposal. “It’s time we brought it to Rappahannock,” Mr. Holschuh said of the trailer, pointing out that the program has been operating in other states for a half century. While most of those hoping to speak left long before the alloted time for public comment, a few waited until after midnight. RCES science teacher Lynn Baines asked the board to use “extreme caution” in developing a release policy. “Forty-five minutes is no big deal but I can conceive of one child asking for release time for the ‘rolling chapel,’ 4-H, Girl Scouts .. . We already have a problem.” Camille Harris pointed out that at least five people who wanted to speak in opposition to the “rolling chapel” had been unable to wait for the post-midnight opportunity. She maintained that parents should be able to address issues in public before the School Board prior to a decision being reached, and called for citizen input on the release policy. Steve Lann said that the “rolling chapel” is not the only means of addressing “the moral and ethical education of our children.” If there is a need in this area, he suggested bringing in speakers - lawyers, historians, ministers - for the school population as a whole. If additional attention on “ethical, moral, American values” is warranted, “then there are an unlimited number of ways to bring that to the fore . . . But if the need is purely religious, I question whether the schools should be involved.” “Our children should be familiar with the stories of the Bible, with Greek and Roman mythology. That’s a part of our culture,” said Sharon Kilpatrick. But teaching the Bible as “the revealed word of God and the ' only truth, I don’t think you can take school time to do that,” she added. | CIRCA 1830 + COLONIAL on knoll with great Mt. Views!
