'*•' Solid waste disposal will ‘cost a fortune’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News staff writer The Environmental Protection Agency should have its new regulations governing solid waste disposal ready for Congressional action in the spring of 1988, and while Virginia's regulations won’t have to be “exact-ly identical” to the federal standards, they will have to be “equivalent,” said Cynthia V. Bailey, executive director of the Department of Waste Management, speaking at the local government officials conference held this month in Charlottesville. Her dollar figures on meeting those new standards met with mutters and groans from the audience of council members, supervisors, county administrators and planning staffs. Under current regulations, the average cost of developing a 19-acre sanitary landfill is $208,800. EPA’s new draft regulations - which the Virginia standards will have to equal - would raise that average to $858,680 exclusive of liner and $1.5 million with a liner. And she noted later that “liners probably will be required in all new trenches by the federal guidelines.” Ms. Bailey also gave figures for the average cost of developing a 10-acre disposal site for hazardous waste: $3.7 million. “Before you think Pm going too far, you should know today’s minimum standards for solid waste disposal were the standards for hazardous waste disposal just five years ago,” she told the assembled officials. That illustrates a major problem in the field, Ms. Bailey said. “With the constantly changing nature of the waste management business, it’s so difficult to give answers ... If I give you an answer this afternoon, I run the risk of being outdated by the cocktail hour!” With that disclaimer, she reported that her Depart(See TRASH, page 16) EXPLAINING THE NEW REGULATIONS, Cindy emment officials at the conference in Charlottesville. Rappahannock News photo/Daphne Hutchinson Bailey, right, speaks with a group of gov Drug investigation: rrobe active m county; Warrenton dentist arrested By LOU HATTER and TAMMY SCARTON Arundel Newspapers Staff Writers Calling them “powerful tools” in law enforcement’s battle against illegal drugs, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke ^wnfinned Monday that a special, inter-jurisdictional grand jury empanelled in Henrico County is looking into drug trafficking in Rappahannock County. Mr. Luke refused to release any de(pfwhat matters the grand jury might ^ i, but ctdlecTuie investigation “active.” He said that his office has been cooperating in the probe for several, months. . ? ■ ■ In an apparently related matter, Denis A. Peper JrM a Fauquier County dentist with an office on Culpeper St., waff indicted Aug. 13 on two felony charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and distribution of cocaine, according to John R. Alderman, special counsel to the grand jury. “I’m innocent. There’s no validity to the charges at all, and I’m anxious to have my day in court,” Dr. Peper said during a telephone interview Aug. 25. He declined further comment on the charges. A trial date will be set .Sept, SL. Dr. J Peper, who wah arrested Aug; # home near The Plains, will be ttieftilt W Richmond Circuit Court, said Mr. Alderman, who is the assistant commonwealth’s attorney for Henrico County. ; If found guilty, Dr. Peper faces a maximum punishment of 40 years in prison and a $100,000 on each of the charges. Details of the Warrenton dentist’s arrest are sketchy, as local and state officials refused to divulge basic information about the case. Usually, prosecutors release routine facts as long as it doesn’t compromise the Commonwealth’s case against the accused individual. Prosecutor Alderman would say only 'that the alleged offenses recurred "in tse *4htter months of l986.” He refused-to reveal any more information about the alleged crimes, such as specific dates, places or amount of drugs reportedly involved. Under the law, grand jury proceedings are secret. He also refused to say how many other people were involved, if there had been other indictments, or if the investigation is continuing. Mr. Alderman also would not reveal how many counties were involved or the number of months the investigation covered. Although Dr. Peper was indicted earlier this month, law enforcement officials refused to even confirm the charges until Aug. 24. Hte indictments Were originally sealed and were not part qt the public record, Mr. Alderman said. He added that (See DRUGS, page 16) Father Maurice celebrates 60 years as Driest By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “I am the happiest man in the world. I was the happiest man when I was in China; I was the. happiest man when I was in Culpeper. Now I am in Washington, and I am still the happiest man in the world,” said Father Maurice du Castillon, C.I.C.M., bright eyes twinkling behind steelframed glasses, the familiar smile spreading across his face. Known simply as “Father” to his parishioners and the many friends he has made during his time in Rappahannock County, he was honored Sunday with a Mass in observance of the 60th anniversary of his ordination as a priest. It was celebrated at the Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper, with the congregation of St. Peter's Catholic Mission of Washington also participating. Following the service, a reception was held for Fr. Maurice. Ten years ago, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his ordination, a scholarship was established. Each year it is awarded to a graduating high school student from Precious Blood Parish. This year the recipient was Michael Thompson. A native of Belgium, Fr. Maurice celebrated his 84th birthday in July. Following college studies of philosophy and theology in his native country, he was ordained into the priesthood in August 1927. Expanding his education with a year in medical school after his ordination, he next pursued language studies in Peking, China. After becoming proficient in Chinese, Father Maurice spent the next nine years __ Rappahannock New* photo/Jofan Toler FATHER MAURICE, right, at a recent picnic with Bishop John R. Keating of the Archdiocese of Arlington doing mission work in the provinces of mainland China. In 1940, he returned home to Belgium where he spent six years as a professor of languages, teaching French, Chinese and English. After one year in the United States as pastor of Precious Blood Parish in Culpeper, Father Maurice again returned to Belgium to teach until 1955, when he came back to Culpeper a second time. This time his stay was a lengthy (See FATHER, page 15) Indoor shooting range proposed in Wakefield “I expect an application next month to erect and operate an indoor firing range for shotguns in Wakefield District,” announced zoning administrator John McCarthy at last week’s Planning Commission meeting. “So if you have any questions about this type of operation, get them to me soon and I’ll try to have the answers for you at the September meeting,” he told the commissioners. According to the property owner’s plans, the range would be built and designed specifically for this purpose, Mr. McCarthy said. The site, near the Catholic Retreat Center between Flint Hill and Huntly, is not within “seeing distance” of adjoining properties, he said. Mr. McCarthy reported that he’d recently visited a similar range in Elkton, a Butler building with interior modifications. He added that he’d checked with the Rockingham County Sheriffs Department and had been told that no complaints on noise from the range had been received from nearby landowners. At that commercial facility, all-day contests are held one weekend of the month. Likewise, admission would be charged at the proposed Rappahannock range, making it a commercial venture, Mr. McCarthy added. Signalling his opposition, Commissioner Werner Krebser described the proposal as “plopping down a commercial venture in the middle of an agricultural area.” The Wakefield District representative added: “It isn’t a farming operation.” Mr. McCarthy pointed out, however, that the county’s new zoning ordinance, adopted just last December with the Planning Commission’s endorsement, permits indoor and outdoor firing ranges in both agricultural and highway commercial zones. Chesshir is RCHS assistant Bernard Dale Chesshir is the new assistant principal at Rappahannock County High School. Mr. Chesshir conies to the county from graduate school at the University of Virginia where he was working on his doctoral degree in administration. A 1971 graduate of U. Va. with a bachelor of science degree in aerospace engineering, he taught science at a private school, public middle school and high school in Albemarle County before entering the administrative ranks. He took part in U. Va.’8 administrative intern program in 1982-83, concurrently serving as assistant principal at Albemarle High School, and was assistant principal at King Wil liam High School from 1983-86. Mr. Chesshir is married; he and his wife have one child. The assistant principal’s appointment came after an executive session for personnel at the August meeting of the county School Board. Other appointments announced at the meeting include Marie Atkins as RCHS cafeteria manager and Josephine Alther as part-time cafeteria worker; Laurel Van Horn as RCHS English teacher; Robert Crego as high school social studies and reading teacher; Wendy Evans as RCES special education instructor; Carla Willey as varsity girls basketball coach; Ron Vickers as junior varsity coach for girls basketball. Planners criticize family subdivision When Rappahannock’s first zoning ordinance was enacted, local officials included two provisions to make the land use laws palatable to county voters: first, allowance for family graveyards as a by-right use in the agricultural and conservation zones that comprise most of Rappahannock; second, an exemption for family subdivisions (the transfer of lots between parents, children and spouses) from compliance with the ordinance’s regulations, most importantly, its minimum lot size or density. But faced with an attempt to circumvent the zoning ordinance’s controls through abuse of the family transfer, the county’s planning commissioners are looking harder at this exception. “I’m afraid we’re getting to the situation where we’re going to have to strike it altogether,” said Newbill Miller, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission. “Absolutely!” concurred Commissioner Werner Krebser, to nods of agreement from the other commissioners at last week’s meeting. State law requires localities to provide for the expeditious approval of family transfers, but leaves the particulars up to the local governments. The responses differ, ranging from simple waiver of the processing and recordation fees to significant regulatory exemptions. Rappahannock falls into the second category. The county’s present land use regulations set density on agriculturally-zoned land at one dwelling unit per 25 acres. That density may be exceeded only with a special exception permit issued by the Board of Supervisors or in a subdivision allowed through the family exception. In the second case, a lot of record as of 1962 may be subdivided into a maximum of five lots for transfer to eligible family members, with a minimum size of two acres each. The only provisos are: • Health Department and Highway Department standards must be met. • The member of the immediate family receiving the lot may not (See FAMILY, page 15)

STews of Record Insurance problems? Tell the SCC at public hearing Virginians in the Shenandoah . Valley are being urged to tell theState Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Insurance about their problems finding and affording liability insurance coverage. The Bureau of Insurance is holding a public meeting in Winchester on Thursday Sept. 3 in the Old Frederick County Courthouse. The meeting will be in the Board of Supervisors Meeting Room of the courthouse, beginning at 7 p.m. The Winchester meeting is the fifth in a series of meetings the Bureau of Insurance has held to hear firsthand some of the problems Virginians are encountering in obtaining liability insurance. The 1987 session of the General Assembly requested the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to conduct the meetings with the passage of House Joint Resolution 261. The General Assembly was responding to recent higher-than-normal premium increases, unexpected policy cancellations and the unavailability of particular lines of insurance being experienced by many Virginians. The Bureau of Insurance this summer hosted similar public meetings in Roanoke, Richmond, Norfolk, and Fairfax. The Bureau will prepare a report of its findings from the meetings for the 1988 General Assembly.

Republicans salute Beard The Culpeper Republican Committee will sponsor a special tribute to Delegate and Mrs. George P. Beard Jr. at their annual barbecue on Friday Sept. 11 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Carlton Clore, Zeuswyn Farm, in Culpeper. The barbecue will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Mr. Beard will be honored for his 10 years of public service as delegate to the Virginia General Assembly from the 30th legislative district, which includes Madison, Orange and Greene counties, and most of Culpeper County. Before the most recent redistricting, Mr. Beard also represented part of Rappahannock County. Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., from Virginia’s Seventh District, former Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson (Mr. Slaughter’s predecessor) and Virginia Republican Chairman Donald W. Huffman are also expected to be on hand as guests of honor. More than 600 guests attended this Culpeper Republican get-together last year in honor of Congressman Slaughter. Mr. Slaughter served as a delegate to the Virginia General Assembly from the 30th legislative district before being elected to the U.S. Congress in 1984. A limited number of tickets to the barbecue are still available. Tickets can be purchased for $15 (per person) by August 28, from Culpeper Republican Chairman Ken Gieselman, or by calling (703) 5472625.

You can have the best house on the block for sale at a give-away price, but it will never sell to the prospect who loves it but cannot afford it — or thinks he can't afford it. An experienced Realtor, on the other hand, can be expected to discuss personal matters such as financing with prospects. Prospects will tell the Realtor freely what they would hold back from you. During such a frank exchange, the Realtor has the ability and experience to suggest ways to make buying your home possible for such discouraged clients. At our office, we’ve saved many sales that both Buyer and Seller thought were impossible. A Realtor can suggest the advantages and drawbacks of IS as opposed to 30-year mortgages; refer prospects to the bank that’s most likely to lend buyers in their situation; and suggest ways of financing that weren’t available a few years ago.

"Tallyho!” Unsuspecting visitors at the Child Care and Learning Center might be perplexed by those strange calls more familiar to riders in the hunt field. But the calls are appropriate. In this case, however, the "tallyho” comes not at the sight of the fox but at word of yet another donation and the “yoicks” doesn’t urge on hounds but rather the volunteers who are pulling together the Center’s annual auction Which this year will have - you guessed it - a hunt country theme. The auction, one of the non-profit daycare center’s major fund raisers, is set for Saturday, Oct. 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the center on Route 211 just west of the town of Washington. Appropriate to the hunt-country theme, the centerpiece and top item for the live auction will be $2,500 worth of horse, donated by Marriot Farms of Hume. The gift certificate can be used towards all or part of one of the fine animals available at the Marriot sale later this fall.

Register now at RCES Maggi Piper, principal at Rappahannock County Elementary School, has issued a reminder on the school’s registration schedule to parents of students who plan to attend RCES this fall for the first time, or who did not attend last year. The school will not be able to register students on fee day, Thursday, Sept. 3, or on the first two days of school, Sept. 8 and 9. “The volume of work on those days makes it impossible to handle registrations,” Mrs. Piper explained. She said that the school is now accepting registrations daily, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, with the exception of Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 7) and the three days noted above. Mrs. Piper reminded parents that new students should bring with them to registration copies of their physical examinations, vaccination records (if not included on the physical), and birt h certificate. Standard Virginia State Health Department physical examination forms are available at the RCES office. Copies of birth certificates registered in Virginia may also be ordered by the school, Mrs. Piper said.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,1987 Editorial It’s a shame It appears from recent events that the family transfer provision of Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance is under fire. In fact, it may be in jeapordy of being removed from the ordinance entirely, because of allegations that some applicants are using the provision in an attempt to circumvent the restrictions on subdivisions placed there by the county. It would be too bad if the provision had to be removed because of abuses, but perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. It wouldn’t be the first time that a legal “loophole” designed to help those with a true need has been abused by others less scrupulous, who seek to bend it to their own advantage. It is perhaps just another indication of our increasing litigous and amoral society, were no advantage is unfair as long as it brings about the end a particular individual desires. It is also another argument for restrictive zoning ordinances, which will, we hope, protect against the types of abuses which have despoiled much of what was once pristine countryside across Virginia. The situation is unfortunate. It would be preferable if people could be relied on to restrain themselves, to weigh the good of the many against their own personal gains. But it appears that, human nature being what it is, we’ll need zoning administrators and planning commissions to look over our shoulders, protecting us from each other for a long time to come. Letter to the editor Support appreciated To the editor. On behalf of the members of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, I would like to thank all those who contributed to our annual fluid drive.

JODY WINGFIELD Treasurer Library Lines: Shelves, policies rearranged Because of severe space limitations, the Rappahannock Library will no longer offer used books for sale in the lobby, nor will there be a shelf of "giveaway” magazines. Instead, all large-print books have been moved to the lobby shelves where they are more readily available to readers who prefer that sight-saving format. We will continue to have a big book-sale on the Fourth of July and will accept used books for that sale during May and June. Due to space restrictions, the library would appreciate donors storing the books until then. Especially-good sellers are children’s books, cook books, gardening and craft books, art books, mysteries, current best-sellers, paperbacks, and "collectibles.” The library will still accept giftbooks to be added to the library’s collection, including local history; Virginia biography, history,or geography; just-published books of interest, and paperbacks in good condition for the “Browsing” shelves. However, the library cannot accept textbooks, old novels, or non-fiction, Readers’ Digest Condensed Books, or magazines.

Is advertising ‘free speech’ By HERB SCHMERTZ Rappahannock New* Contributinp Writer Conservatives are having great fim watching the battle in the liberal community over which faction is to have exclusive rights to the interpretation of the First Amendment. The heart of the debate concerns whether advertising is speech, because if it is, then — according to the Bill of Rights — “Congress shall make no law .. . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Supreme Court Associate Justice Harry A. Blackmun, in 1976, referred to advertising as “commercial speech,” and said, “It is clear . . . that speech does not lose its First Amendment protection because money is spent to project it. . .” He took pains to add, however, that his opinion didn’t mean commercial speech “can never be regulated in anyway.” So advertising is obviously there somewhere under the wing of the First Amendment, but not secured as firmly, perhaps, as the editorials in your daily paper. Most of us wouldn’t quarrel with that state of affairs. We don’t mind the press advocating any fool thing that comes into its head, but we shy away from permitting ads that say eating creosote-treated timber will put curly hair on your chest. But now there are legislators considering a ban on every form of cigarette advertising and promotion. And the senior vice president of the American Medical Association, Dr. James S. Todd, is all for this. He told an April 2 forum on “Free Speech and Advertising,” held in Boston’s Faneuil Hall, that: “We want the public to be protected from those things that are known and observably dangerous.” With me at the same forum was George Hacker, director of a group that would like to see the exclusion of all wine and beer advertising from radio and television. He sees his campaign in terms of “society’s right to protect itself and to preserve its health.” It may well be that we common citizens are going to end up needing someone to protect us from our highprincipled protectors — and it is just this exigency that is splitting the liberal thinkers. Professor Steven Shiffrin of UCLA argued at the Boston forum that there’s a good legal precedent for legislation that will ban not only cigarette and beer advertising, but even such forms of corporate patronage by tobacco firms as donations to museums or the underwriting of TV shows for the Public Broadcasting System. He maintains that actually, in this country, “We block a lot of speech,” and advertising “is low in the hierarchy of First Amendment values.” This argument didn’t hold any water at all for Professort Burt Neubome of New York University, an attorney “usually on the same side,” according to Mr. Shiffrin. Mr. Neubome argues that the issue here goes far beyond commercial speech and concerns this principle: “Do you use speech controls to try to get people to behave in different ways?” “Censors always tell you,” Mr. Nuebome said, “that people will be better off if they don’t get this information . . . but that’s what the First Amendment says we’re not supposed to do.” Attorney Victor Kovner then weighed in with the proposition that no one had any quarrel with the regulation — or even banning — of misleading advertising, but that Mr. Shiffrin was “seeking to outlaw truthful information” — such as ads, for instance, that compare the tar content of various cigarettes. Mr. Kovner asserted that free speech “is central to what it means to be a free people, to live under self-government.” One panelist in Boston pointed out that cigarette advertising has been banned in Italy for 35 years, yet consumption there is up by more than 30 percent; he contrasted Italy to the United States, where there has been heavy advertising (though not on television) and yet the size of the market has been shrinking for 15 years. Federal Judge Stephen Breyer, who was also on the panel, sagely reminded everyone in the hall: “There’s a little bit of censor in each of us.” What might disturb him in the proposed legislation, he said, was that “it’s a law that blocks a message” — blocks words “being used to persuade, the very function of speech.” He thought the issue boiled down to whether Congress could pass a law that prohibited a group of people from sending a certain kind of message. It has been said that a puritan is someone obsessed by the fear that somebody out there somewhere is having a good time.' Many such puritans have been drafting into government, and Mr. Shiffrin was no doubt speaking for them when he stated: “We have to accept some limited paternalism.” This is perhaps not quite George Orwell’s Big Brother, but it sure looks a lot like Big Nanny to me. Herb Schmertz is a vice president of Mobil Oil and a syndicated columnist. Judge supports LaRouche plea BOSTON — A judge’s decision to bar the use of three notebooks as evidence against Lyndon LaRouche, his aides and organizations indicted for fraud and conspiracy will not hurt the government’s case, a prosecutor says. In a decision filed last week, U.S. District Court Judge Robert E. Keeton ruled that investigators improperly seized the notebooks. He reversed an earlier decision in which he’d said investigators acted properly in taking the notebooks from the Quincy office of one of the indicted organizations, Caucus Distributors Inc. LaRouche, meanwhile, has asked a federal appeals court to overturn an earlier decision in which Keeton refused to dismiss the case because of defense claims that prosecutors violated grand jury secrecy provisions. The warrant allowing the October 1986 search of Caucus Distributors allowed prosecutors to seize index cards detailing a wide range of fundraising on behalf of LaRouche. Investigators seized the three notebooks along with numerous loose index cards and 14 file boxes filled with index cards. Keeton earlier had ruled that the FBI agent who seized the notebooks acted within the scope of the warrant because the notebooks contained index cards stapled to pages. But the judge, reconsidering the ruling at the defense’s request, said the index cards in the notebooks were not in plain view and not covered by the search warrant. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark D. Rasch said the notebooks “had very little evidentiary value.” LaRouche, 64, is free on bail pending trial on one count of conspiring to obstruct justice. He allegedly ordered aides to shred documents and to refuse to cooperate with a federal investigation into his 1984 presidential campaign. The LaRouche aides and organizations are charged in an alleged $1 million credit card fraud scheme to finance the 1984 campaign and with trying to cover up the alleged fraud. The appeal of Keeton’s grand-jury ruling to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asks the court to dismiss the case because prosecutors violated secrecy provisions by disclosing LaRouche’s pending appearance before a federal grand jury in Boston. If the dismissal bid is denied, LaRouche asked that prosecutors be blocked from introducing his grand-jury testimony at trial. Across Virginia Keeton had ruled that defense lawyers presented no evidence that prosecutors leaked word of the pending appearance to reporters. The appeals court ordered defense and government lawyers to submit written arguments on the issue by next week and said it hoped to rule quickly to prevent delaying the trial, which is scheduled for Sept. 21. LaRouche, who has said he is seeking the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination, faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. Also pending are defense motions filed seeking dismissal of the case on grounds that the investigation was part of a 20-year government vendetta to ruin LaRouche politically and crush his successful fundraising network. State in black as fiscal year ends RICHMOND — Federal tax reform and money that was unspent by state agencies have contributed to Virginia’s budget surplus for the 1986-87 fiscal year, which some government sources estimate at more than $150 million. Gov. Gerald L. Ballies was to provide the General Assembly’s money committees with details about the cash left in the treasury June 30, the last day of the budget year. Although administration officials refused to disclose the size of the surplus Thursday, a knowledgeable official told the Richmond Tiims-Dispatch that a figure of more than $150 million was “in the ballpark.” House and Senate budget panels had expected Virginia to end the year in the black, but few officials or legislators ventured a guess at the amount. Del. Walter A. Stosch (R-Henrico) said the General Assembly should return the surplus to taxpayers next year. He said he will sponsor a bill at the 1988 Assembly session, which begins in January, that would give the money back. “The governor said he is committed to return the revenue in a fair and equitable way,” Stosch said. “A tax rate reduction would have broad appeal. I’m hopeful the governor also would want to return the surplus to taxpayers.” A major reason for the extra money is the impact of federal reform on state taxes. Many taxpayers, confronted with having to pay substantially higher state taxes for selling their investments in 1987, sold them in 1986. “They wanted to be taxed at the lower rate and the state received extra revenues on the capital gains,” a government source said of the surplus. Also, the state economy contributed. Administration officials had projected a 9.6 percent growth in revenue during the just-ended fiscal year, but the growth ran more than 14 percent ahead of the first 11 months of fiscal 1986, the House and Senate money committees have been told. During the past six years, the surplus has averaged $48,479 million a year, Paul W. Timmreck, budget director, said Thursday. The highest was $81 million in fiscal 1981; there was no surplus in fiscal 1983. The state’s budget was $20 billion for 198688. Road-widening plans questioned RICHMOND — The attorney general’s office is investigating whether the state transportation department improperly altered a roadwidening plan after it was shown to the public and approved by city and state officials, according to a report published Aug. 18. Del. Franklin P. Hall (D-Richmond) initiated the probe last month with two letters to Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, the Richmond News Leader reported. Hall said the Virginia Department of Transportation may have broken the law by expanding on the more modest plan for widening a lVi-mile section of the Chippenham Parkway. The state wants to convert the two-lane thoroughfare through the Statford Hills and Oxford neighborhoods to a four-lane, limited-access segment of the Parham-Chippenham Connector road. The project would enlarge the state-owned right-of-way surrounding the highway from an average of 110 feet to 200 feet or more.

B & B’s plan dinners A covered dish supper meeting of the Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahannock County was held Aug. 24 at Meadowood Bed & Breakfast in Slate Mills. Dates were set by the Guild for another series of the popular progressive dinners held last spring. The dinners will be offered on Oct. 29 and in January and February (specific dates to be announced). The Guild will also hold an open house on Sunday, Dec. 13. Most of the county bed and breakfasts will be participating. Further information can be obtained by calling any of the Guild members. It was decided to have a B & B Guild booth at the Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival, Oct. 3 and 4, as well as a display in Washington, Va., Oct. 17 and 18. Visitors at either event may register to win a free night’s stay any weekday at participating Rappahannock bed and breakfast establishments. The drawing will be held Oct. 18. Collective advertising was discussed at length. The definition of a member for the Guild was defined as a five-bedroom house in which the owner resides and offers breakfast to the guests and which meets all licensing requirements. The Conyers House is an exception to the fivebedroom limit by virtue of having had eight rooms by 1984 when the six-room definition of a B & B was established by the Virginia Health Department Ordinance. The Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance now limits new bed and breakfast establishments to five bedrooms. The members attending this meeting were Camille Harris from the Foster-Harris House, Nan and Jim Thomasson from Heritage House, Phil Irwin from Caledonia Farm, Sandra Cartwright-Brown from the Conyers House and Lorraine Robson from Meadowood. Correction In the article about the $6,500 grant awarded to the Rappahannock County Public Library and the Literacy Volunteers in last week’s paper, it was incorrectly stated that the grant was from the Virginia Library Literacy Program.

Poling, prominent minister of another generation, began his pastoral prayer one Sunday with:"Now I lay me down to sleep .. Embarassed, he caught himself, fumbled around for proper pastoral phrases, and in a cold sweat continued his prayer. "I don't know what happened," he wrote later. "The words just came out. A slip of the mind, a return to childhood. I ouess." f As he was greeting people following that service, no one » mentioned his prayer-slip until a little otd lady came up. Taking ' the pastor s hand in both of hers, she looked deep into his eyes and said, 'Thank you. Dr. Poling. I got new insight into my pastor this morning." Dr Poling, almost afraid to ask, managed finally to say, "Oh and what was that?" I saw my pastor, as a little boy, kneeling by his bed learning his first prayer." What our children will be, they are now becoming. The poet is right: “The child Is tether of the men.” And positive experiences in early years influence experiences in all the years.

The first day of school _ By JOHN BORGENS Rapvahaiinock News Contributine Writer The first day of school is a mile* stone in the life of every child. It is also just as big a milestone in the lives of parents. Last year, seeing my boy run out to get on the school bus for the first time brought tears to my eyes — both tears of joy and tears of sadness. Parents play an important role in starting their children off with the self-confidence which they will need throughout their lives. This self-confidence is nurtured through good feelings about parents, about authority figures at school, about other children and, no less important, about themselves as worthwhile human beings. A summer is a long time for a child, and parents play the biggest role in shaping the child’s attitude toward school as the first day draws closer. That attitude will carry over to subsequent first days as well. It is clear to me that being a good parent requires work. It is also clear to me that a child who just naturally does everything right, requiring little guidance from parents, is very rare. I have gathered a few helpful hints for parents to keep in mind while preparing for the upcoming first few days and weeks of school. • Remember that learning to like school and liking to learn are closely related. When the first few weeks of school turn out to be a good experience, they can become a catalyst for r idffliLV FOCU* s good attitude for months, even years ahead. • Prepare your child for the new school experience by explaining what to expect and answering questions honestly. A child may be anxious - fear of the unknown is common among not only children but adults as well. Knowing the details of what to expect may help the child handle the stress they are experiencing. Make sure that “all the bases are covered.” For example, working mothers and fathers should make certain that the child knows the arrangements for before and after school care and transportation. • Create a normal, routine atmosphere at home the first few days of school. Things always come up, but take an active interest in what your child has to say in creating a familiar routine. Remember to allow plenty of time for breakfast, dressing and preparing the child to leave, especially with young children. If you are hurried and harried, your child will sense that, but perhaps not understand why. They may translate it into a nervousness and discomfort about going to school. • Praise your child for the good things he has accomplished, both in and out of school. Remember that more can be gained by accenting the positive. In rare instances, when a child does not accept school after several days, or when fearfulness and feelings of distress appear and persist, the child may have a problem which goes beyond natural apprehensions about beginning a new task. At this point, parents may be well advised to seek advice from the child’s teacher, the school guidance counselor or psychologist, the family physician or counselor, or another expert who has training in dealing with the specific adjustment problem. If the child receives firm, patient, reassuring handling by parents and teachers, usually the child will soon feel comfortable at school and will make new friends and begin learning new, exciting and interesting things. What is important for children’s emotional health is that, having faced and mastered a new challenge, with support and encouragement from those they look up to, the youngsters have helped to build their own feelings of self-confidence and security.

Garden Club displays bounty By MARIAN WHITE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The bounty of the growing season was displayed in abundance at the home of Caroline Doub last week when the ladies of the Rappahannock Garden Club vied for blue ribbons with 40 entries in this annual horticultural event.

A close friend, Ms. Tami Willett, asked me to go home with her. Without thinking I said, “Let’s do it” and there was no turning back. I had to fly to California where we met Tami’s high school friend Pat. Pat’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moreno, welcomed us with dinner, a swim in their pool, and a relaxing hour in the jacuzzi. Although I was thousands of miles from home, the Morenos made me feel as if I were part of their family. Sunday morning I became a child again and was thrilled by the fantasy world of Disneyland. Mickey and Minnie Mouse greeted us at 9 a.m. and Snow White’s parade ended our day. In between came Frontierland, Tomorrowland, Storybook Land, and Fantasy land where children of all nationalities singing “It’s a Small World” brought tears to my eyes. Monday morning we started our drive. Twenty-five hours later, after passing through Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Idaho, we reached Montana. The Mojave Desert in Nevada, the Morman Tabernacle in Utah, the Virgin River Canyon in Arizona and the potato fields of Idaho are only a handful of the breathtaking sites along our drive. Our first stop in Montana was Wolf Creek, where Tami’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Murr, met us at their vacation trailer. Once again, I felt I was at home with another family. Sunday and Monday of the following week we spent in Glacier National Park. Although the trails we walked were filled with warning signs about grizzly bears, the beauty of God’s country was my only thought. Starting at Lake McDonald and Trick Falls, we traveled the “Going to the Sun Road” to Heaven’s Peak. Going through Logan’s Pass we went to Sunrise Gorge and Jackson Glacier. Waterfalls of melting snow trickling down mountainsides freed our minds and souls. The best part of my dream vacation was sharing it with true friends and their families who had become part of my family. On our return to California we spent a night in Las Vegas. We walked Las Vegas Boulevard at 2 a.m. to see the beautiful lights. And, yes, by 4 a.m. we had to hit the slot machines which surely was amusing for others to watch. Boarding the plane Saturday evening left me with a sad feeling of leaving friends and family behind. There was no fear of flying and al ready my mind was thinking of my next visit to my West Coast family and the beautiful places where they live. A well known singer has said that Montana’s specialty is peace of mind. That’s so very true, and it also offers a very special Montana Blessing: “May your visions be as Boundless as our sky. May your soul have the strength of our mountains May your life be as Peaceful as our gentle-falling snow. May your days be as n umbered as the tree in our forests. ” Tanya, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Brown of Woodville, now lives in Gaithersburg, Md., and works with the Security System in the Hecht companies around the metropolitan area.

Facts, fiction about meats By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics We Americans consume more meat than in many cases is healthy for us. It is fried, baked, broiled, grilled, added to casserole dishes. Because of its wide usage, we receive many questions concerning meat. Here are some of the most frequently asked. Q. Sometimes after an animal is slaughtered, there is an off-flavor in the meat. What is the cause? A. Aside from spoilage, off-flavors can come from a variety of sources. One source is the meat coming in contact with some other sub stance. Usually these flavors or odors are very easy to identify with the source. For example, paint solvents used in the area where the meat is being cut and packaged will often transfer an odor to the meat, particularly the fat. The same is true for vegetables, such as onions being stored in the cooler where the meat is stored. With pork, there is sometimes a “boar odor or taste” that can show up in males and very rarely in females. Whatever causes this in the live animal is still not completely understood. It is often extremely difficult to identify the source or cause of off-odors and off-flavors in meat products. If the cause cannot be identified, discard the meat. Q. How long can fresh meat be kept in the refrigerator and still be good to eat? A. It is not possible to give precise answers to this question because so much depends on what has happened to the meat before purchase. However, stew meat, hamburger, variety meats (such as tongue, liver, kidneys, etc.) and fresh sausage are best when refrigerated and used within one to two days. Larger cuts such as roasts, steaks and chops are best if they are kept in the refrigerator no longer than 3 to 5 days. Q. If the power goes out and the freezer has not been operating for several days, can the meat be saved? A. If there is no evidence of spoilage or that the temperature of the meat has risen above 36 degrees F, the meat can be repackaged in a good freezer wrap and refrozen. The freezing should be done as quickly as possible. It would be better to take the meat to a commercial freezing plant that has adequate capacity since the average home freezer can only sharp-freeze about one-tenth of its total capacity at a time. Each time meat is thawed and refrozen, it will lose quality. Q. There is a pork roast in the freezer that has been in there for at least two years. The surface looks white and spongy. Will it be safe to use? A. If the meat has been kept at 0 degrees F or below, it is probably safe to use. However, it probably will lack palatability because of flavor and texture changes. It will have a rancid taste that is difficult to mask. This condition known as freezer-bum is caused by desiccation, or loss of moisture. Moisture vapor-resistant packaging is essential for good quality frozen meat. For best quality, use frozen pork roasts within three to eight months. Q. There are some recommendations not to store cured meat such as ham and bacon, or sausage products such as frankfurters and bologna in Fresh Mixed FRYER PARTS, Snow White CAULIFLOWER & Fresh Green Broccoli 99' Head Bunch IllIf I mu PACKAGED PEACHES 4*/$r Wise Snacks 99* I.S Qz. • lto|.

Cured and processed meats which contain salt have a tendency to develop rancidity very rapidly, even in the freezer. If they are to be frozen, they should be in a good freezer package, preferably a vacuum package. They should be frozen rapidly and stored at zero degrees F ‘ or colder for periods not exceeding 90 days. A good vacuum can be held in the freezer for longer time periods. Hams that are frozen will often develop a spongy texture as a result of freezing. This is particularly true for the “water-added” hams. Q. What is the best type of ground beef to buy— regular ground beef, lean ground beef or extra-lean ground beef? A. For most usages, the lean ground beef, that is approximately 80 percent lean, will provide the most satisfactory results from the standpoint of palatability, particularly for beef patties. The extralean ground beef would be best used in dishes where fat is to be completely eliminated. If used for hamburger patties, it is apt to become dry and rubbery if cooked beyond the medium-rare stage. Q. There is some beef stew in the refrigerator that has been there for over a week. Can it be eaten or should it be thrown out? A. Cooked meat dishes are best if they are kept ho longer than three to five days. If you have left-over gravy, use it within one to two days. Meats are highly perishable and will spoil at refrigerator temperatures. After grocery shopping, decide which meats will be used in a day or two and then plan to freeze the remaining meats. The same applies to leftover meats. If it cannot be used within a few days, plan to freeze it. Should you have additional questions concerning meat or any other food, call the local Extension office at 675-3619. Freeze those peaches for pies Betty’s Frozen Peach Pie (Makes enough filling for 4 eightinch pies) 4 quarts peeled and sliced peaches 31/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons tapioca 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt Combine all ingredients. Line four 8-inch pie pans with heavy duty aluminum foil, leaving about 5 inches of foil - enough to cover , the top of the pie - extending from the edges of the pie pans. Divide the peach mixture between the four pans and put pans in freezer until solid. Then remove pie pans, fold aluminum foil over the top of the filling and return to freezer. To cook, remove foil and place the unthawed filling in a pie shell. Top with butter and sprinkle with a quarter teaspoon of either cinnamon or nutmeg. Bake at 425 degrees for one hour and 10 minutes or until the center is bubbling. “You can get this out of the freezer in January and it tastes like it was straight off the tree,” Betty promises.

County youngsters enjoy 4-H Camp By MARNIE TURMAN Rappahannock Neva SUIT Intern For more than 30 Rappahannock County children, summer ended with a week of fun at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center, where they attended overnight camp the week of Aug. 10 to 14. A total of about 200 youngsters, representing Rappahannock, Madison and Orange counties spent the week learning and having fun. In the morning the campers, who ranged in age from nine to 12, went to activity classes. A variety of subjects was offered, and all were able to find activities which suited their interests. Campers learned and practiced water sports, ceramics, computers, nature studies, drama, outpost camping, archery, shooting sports, horsemanship and aerobics. After lunch, the campers participated in a group workshop. On the first day there was a parade, so the children spent the afternoon building floats. Another day, the 4-H Center chartered buses and took the entire group on a tour of Skyline Caverns near Front Royal. On Thursday, the campers spent the afternoon learning Indian dances and songs. That night, after painting their faces, they held an Indian campfire, complete with “Big Chief’ who led the group in songs and stories. Many visitors also came to the camp. On the night of the Indian campfire, there were representatives from the Boards of Supervisors of the three counties at camp. I t THOUGH CAMP IS A busy place, there’s always time to hang out with “the guys.’’ The campers all joined the supervisors in attending a special program put on by the camp’s staff with the help of some of the campers. On another day, members of the U. S. Customs Service brought their drug dogs to visit the camp and put on a demonstration for the children. The school which trains the dogs is just a short distance from the 4-H Center. The Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department also came to the camp with a piece of fire equipment and its ambulance. Members of the department put on their equipment and explained how it works to the campers. Another day, a speaker told the group about the aerospace industry. Although it seems as if they were busy all the time, the campers also had some free time. They could play volleyball, swim or play games. One day during free time there was a pool party. Friday was Parents’ Day. The parents of all the children were invited to come and see what the campers had made. They also had lunch with the group. Phillip Daczewitz was one of the camp’s teen leaders. He said that he helped out with the archery range and tried to keep up the campers’ enthusiasm through the week. He liked the campfires the best because everyone was together. Other Rappahannock teens who served as leaders for the week were Liz Oliver, Noah and Jonah Waggener and Alex Smith. Some adults attended the camp as well. Among the volunteers who spent the week were Rappahannock residents Sandra Brown, Hazel (Big Chief) Zinn-Day, Cindi Dashiell, Marsha Thompson and Cheryl Taylor. Sandra Richardson, Rappahannock’s Extension agent, also spent the week with the campers. She said that more Rappahannock children attended the camp than in any previous years. She added that she hoped all the youngsters would spread the word and that the turnout would be even better next summer. Photos by Sandra Richardson ON THE ARCHERY RANGE, Phillip Daczewitz helped to teach. THE CHESTER GAP VFD explained the operations of one of its fire trucks and an ambulance. One of the firefighters donned his gear for the campers. AN ADULT VOLUNTEER, Sandra Brown also was appointed Chief of the Big Feet Tribe. “BIG CHIEF” Hazel Zinn-Day shares a laugh with one of her warriors, Tony. BEFORE THE CAMPFIRE, counselor Mike Green applies war paint to David Dashiell. WHERE’D ALL THE CLOTHES come from? Emmy Bailey seems overcome by the contents of her duffel bag.

Frances Pullen and family yfcPOTDie In loving memory of my mother, Jacquelyn Roberta Holland, whose birthday would have been August 25. My heart still aches with sadness, silent tears still flow. What it meant to love you, Mom, no one will ever know. Beside your grave I often stand, I try in vain to understand. Forgive me Lord with tears I pray, I loved her so, why couldn't she stay. When days are lonely and everything seems wrong, I seem to hear you whisper 'cheer up and carry on.' Each day as I look at your picture you seem to smile and say, 'Don't wory anymore I’m only sleeping, we'll meet again some day.' Happy Birthday Mom Love, Lisa Burke HELP WANTED COOK - $5.04 per hour.

Place your Classified Ad hi The Rappahannock News Today! 675-3338 Family (Continued from Page 1) have received any other property anywhere else in Virginia through the family exception process. • The application may not be an attempt to bypass zoning ordinance restrictions; the family member receiving the property must intend to build a residence on the lot and reside there. Last Wednesday zoning administrator John McCarthy reported that the contract buyer of a 33Vz-acre agriculturally-zoned parcel has applied for a family subdivision exception to subdivide lots for both his parents, his daughter and his wife, with the residue to remain under his ownership. Finding it "an attempt to circumvent the provisions of the ordinance,” Mr. McCarthy denied the request. According to the zoning administrator, the contract buyer then offered to nullify two family subdivisions approved for his sons just before the new zoning ordinance went into effect last December in exchange for authorization to subdivide the 33 V* acres he intends to purchase. "I told him no - not the whole kit and kaboodle,” Mr. McCarthy said, adding, however, that he had held out the possibility of endorsement for two new subdivisions on the 33 acres if the earlier subdivision plats are vacated. The response was a letter “from the gentleman’s attorney.” The lawyer found the zoning administrator’s offer unacceptable and insisted that his client should have all four family subdivisions, Mr. McCarthy told the planning commissioners. In addition, the zoning administrator said, the lawyer noted that time is running out on the sales contract and if the issue isn’t resolved in the imme diate future, "some economic loss will be suffered.” Mr. McCarthy added that he has notified Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, the county’s legal advisor, of the events to date. Other grounds for denial? Although the zoning administrator’s denial of the application for family exception is based on intent to circumvent the zoning ordinance, there may be other grounds from which to hang a rejection. According to Mr. McCarthy, the daughter intended as a recipient of one of the proposed lots may have already received a lot created through the family exception in another county. Reviewing the records on the 33acre parcel, Mr. Miller pointed out that the property has already been divided three times since 1962. That leaves only two divisions, even with the family exception, before the landowner must comply with all density regulations, he noted. The zoning administrator concurred with Mhr. Miller’s reading of the fiirther condition tacked on to family transfers by Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance. "But it concerns me because there’s no provision for that in the state enabling legislation,” he added, saying he preferred to rely on the prohibition against drcumvision of the zoning regulations. "I just want you to be apprised,” Mr. McCarthy told the commissioners. "If the challenge (to the restrictions on the family transfer exception) doesn’t come this time, it will come soon,” he predicted. "It has happened everywhere else in Virginia.” Health Dept, offers HIb vaccine By JOHN SEXTON Rappahannock Publk Health Nunc A vaccine to protect against a dangerous childhood disease is now available. Haemophilus Influenza Type b is an illness that causes meningitis (an infection involving the brain and spinal cord). Each year, 12,000 cases of this illness are discovered in children. In fact, one out of every 200 youngsters will become ill with the disease by the time they reach their fifth birthday. It is a sad fact that one out of 20 children who become ill with Haemophilus meningitis will die from it, and one of four will suffer permanent brain damage. Many more will be afflicted with permanent damage to, bones, blood, hearing, throat, or be' plagued with other side effects of the disease. However, there is now available a simple vaccine to prevent this dreaded illness. The Center for Disease Control and the Virginia De partment of Health recommend that all two-year-old children be vaccinated. Also recommended are vaccinations for all three and four-year-old children enrolled in day care centers or pre-school. Additionally, any children between the ages of 18 months and two years who spend time in day care centers should receive the vaccine. This is a one-time shot. The Rappahannock Health Department, located at the rear of the Clopton House on Gay Street in Washington, now has the vaccine available. Shots may be administered Monday through Friday, 8 to 9 a.m. and 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., through Sept. 11. Parents may also arrange for vaccinations by appointment. Please call 676-3516 for information or an appointment. There is a sliding scale charge for the vaccination, based on family income. The fee ranges from no charge to a maximum of $6.60 per shot. I Puppet show ends program Wrapping up an interesting and well-attended summer of reading l and learning, the Rappahannock County Library’s last program, a performance by Puppets by Pizzazz, attracted more than 100 children and adults. The winner of the “Name the Mouse” contest was Emily Sims, who was presented with the handmade mouse puppet. READiscover USA - Celebrate, which met each Wednesday morning at the library, averaged about 70 children per week, according to Librarian Dee Brents. Children who participated in the program kept a log of the books they read, and earned stamps to place in the log by reading books in any of eight categories. To earn the stamps, each child had to read three picture books or one juvenile book. Among the children with the most stamps were Sara Klatko (28) and Nathan Flinchum (27). Others were Stephanie Tholand (19) and Naomi Smoot (18). "This has been a highly successfill program,” one of the volunteers said. “More than half the children earned stamps in all eight of the categories. The participation of all who helped in this venture is deeply appreciated - we are especially grateful to the Rappahannock News for the fine publicity it has given at all stages of this program.” Soccer tryout this week The Rappahannock County High School will hold tryouts for the fall soccer sea* son each evening this week, Coach Scott Currie has announced. Practices will begin at 6:30 p.m. and last until 8:30 p.m. Mr. Currie said that any interested RCHS students, including eighth graders, are invited to come out and join the tryouts. Coach Currie added that physical examination forms and insurance waivers must be filled out and signed before any athlete will be allowed to practice. For additional information about physicals, insurance or tryouts, call the high school, 987-8675. Coach Currie also said that there will be a soccer clinic at the Culpeper Junior High School this Saturday. The clinic will feature players from the Alderson-Broaddus team from West Virginia. Team members and coaches will work with interested players on fundamentals and techniques. The clinic begins at 10:30 a.m. It is free and open to all interested youth. Following the two-hour clinic, there will be a college match between AldersonBroaddus and the George Mason University team. It is being sponsored by the Culpeper Soccer Association and the Yowell Meadow Park Association as a kick-off for the county’s fall youth soccer program. According to the Sponsors, this game between two nationally ranked college teams is a first for the Culpeper area, and should provide exciting competition, as well as a chance for area youngsters to see talented, experienced soccer players in action.

He was the parish priest for Precious Blood until 1979, when the Archdiocese of Arlington appointed him as Chaplain to Bethany House, the diocesean retreat in Huntly. He served there for two years, and was appointed to administer the St. Peter's Catholic Mission in Washington in 1981. ABC profits distributed Rappahannock County received $11,213 as its share in the distribution of Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control profits for the second and third quarters of the 1986-87 fiscal year. The Town of Washington received an additional $474. A per-liter wine tax netted the county another $4,011, while Washington received $169 from that tax for the period. A total of $20 million in profits was generated by the ABC during the two quarters, which resulted in more than $10.25 million passing to the Commonwealth’s counties, cities and towns for services to local residents.

Trash (Continued from Page 1) ment of Waste Management has been moving “cautiously and deliberately” in overhauling the Commonwealth’s regulations for waste disposal, not only for sanitary landfills but also for incinerators, transfer stations, industrial landfills, and construction, debris and demolition landfills. Ms. Bailey said the reasons for the caution and deliberation are threefold: • It’s important that the regulations be “good enough to last for the next several years.” • The regulations will be expensive for local governments. • “We don’t want to have to do it all over again to comply with the new federal regulations.” The first draft of the state’s revised waste management standards were developed by a technical advisory group last year, then circulated through the Department of Waste Management and to various individuals for review. The next draft will be released this fall, with copies to go to all county administrators and city and town managers; this draft will be publicized at meetings held around the state to receive reaction, Ms. Bailey said. Then the proposed regulations will go to the Waste Management Board in the late fall with the final promulgation to come next spring, she reported. Most of the attention has been focused on municipal dumps handling “good ol’ garden variety garbage, what’s thrown out after dinner.” This is “the last frontier in environmental regulatory awareness,” according to Ms. Bailey. The environmental problems associated with sanitary landfills are just being recognized, she said, noting that two of Virginia’s 19 nominations for the national super-fund clean-up list are landfills. And with 7,000 open dumps in Virginia just 10 years ago and more than 3,000 abandoned landfills counted to date in the state, “we’ll probably have more proposed,” Ms. Bailey acknowledged. She described the solid waste disposal regulations now on Virginia’s books as “woefully inadequate,” written back in 1971, “a prehistoric date as far as environmental regulation goes.” Not only are they “inadequate to protect the environment,” but they’re difficult to administer since specific standards are few and detailed information is lacking on what must be submitted with a landfill permit application, she said. But through administrative requirements for design and monitoring systems, “we’ve provided a good deal of environmental protection” with the landfill permits issued over Call 675-3349 to place your ad • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware' Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the By-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 "Sperryville Realty— SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703) 987-8088 - Office On Rt. 211 in Sperryville -5 unit motel apartment complex, gift shop, fruit stand, restorable 2 story frame home, .95 acre, town sewer. $150,000.

In fact, she said, “during the last three years, the permits conform to what we expect the final regulations will be.” The proposed regulations direct that existing landfill permits be recalled for re-evaluation. The primary aim will be to catch the landfills approved in the mid-1970s “and bring them up to modem standards,” Ms. Bailey said. She projected that this process could take three to five years. “First we have to reduce the backlog” of pending applications, then evaluate existing landfills, “choosing the ones which need revising most,” she said. Old permits will continue to be valid through this re-evaluation period so long as the landfills don’t “threaten the environment,” Ms. Bailey said, but if existing sites are expanded or take in a new waste category for disposal, then at that point, the new regulations will have to be met. The tougher standards for sanitary landfills are primarily centered on groundwater protection, according to Ms. Bailey. “We’re going to be requiring more liners, more leachate collection, more groundwater monitoring.” In addition, the disposal of the collected leachate will be more closely regulated, she said. Private landfills will come under particular scrutiny, with the operator required to post a bond, “financial assurance that, if he walks away, there will be money to close the landfill, money for post-closure monitoring and money for third party liability,” Ms. Bailey said. She had a bit of advice for the local officials who have a contractual relationship with a private landfill operator to provide a municipal landfill: “Work with your county attorney to ensure that the contract gives you adequate protection so you won’t be caught in a mess in a few years.” Under the new regulations, there will be procedural as well as regulatory changes. Formerly, governments and private landfill operators often went to considerable expense in designing a waste disposal facility only to discover the site to be unsuitable. With the new regulations, applications will be submitted in two parts with the design plans coming after the site studies “to avoid some of that needless expense,” Ms. Bailey said. Concerning policy on the relationship between state and local regulations, “the Department of Waste Management has taken the Mile East Of Marshaliygljlii 364-1566 I position that local standards may be more stringent than the state’s,” the director said. “The state never tells local government what to do!” Ms. Bailey joked, when asked by Loudoun Supervisor Andrew R. Bird if her department would grant a landfill permit over a locality’s objections. “Under current regulations, the Department of Waste Management can’t issue a landfill permit without notification from local government that the landfill complies with local land use ordinances. I don’t see that changing.” John McCarthy, Rappahannock County’s zoning administrator, asked what the relationship will be between the Department of Waste Management in Richmond and its regional consultants in the field, noting that often the regional consultants “are not in tune with Richmond or Richmond’s not in tune with them.” The department is looking to expand its regional offices, and will divide responsibilities, with Richmond handling the issuance of landfill permits and the people in the field concentrating on inspection and enforcement, Ms. Bailey said. “You find a site and you think you’re going to acquire it for a landfill. How long will it take to get the site permitted?” asked Fauquier County Administrator Steve Crosby. “If you have five years of capacity left in your landfill, you should start looking NOW for a new site,” Ms. Bailey replied. “If you have a site already, probably two years. . . The actual permitting won’t take that long,” but “citizen opposition, jostling” may delay the process, she said, adding that the draft regulations require a year of baseline groundwater sampling before operations can begin at a new landfill. Asked if Virginia will follow the West Virginia governor’s lead and ban out-of-state debris from its “stump dumps,” Ms. Bailey said that U.S. Supreme Court decisions “seem to say” this type of out-of-jurisdiction prohibition is unconstitutional. And if it’s not unconstitutional, it’s at least “touchy” since much of Virginia’s hazardous waste is handled by a neighboring state, she added. “It’s not under consideration.” Ms. Bailey’s final word on the future of solid waste management in Virginia might have sent local officials home to check the life of their landfills and the'balance in their general funds: “It’s going to cost us a fortune,” she predicted. Drugs (Continued from Page 1) all county prosecutors and other law enforcement officials involved in the special grand jury investigation have been ordered not to release any information about the investigation. Fauquier County’s Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney J. Gregory Ashwell refused to comment on Dr. Peper’s arrest. He also refused to reveal whether any other local residents are under investigation. Mr. Luke did confirm Mondaythat the Fauquier County Commonwealth Attorney’s office is cooperating in the investigation. He added that he hopes that the knowledge that state and local law enforcement agencies are cooperating and aggressively combatting drug trafficking in Rappahannock and surrounding counties might dissuade anyone who has thoughts of becoming involved in the illegal activity. He said that the scope of the investigative capabilities of the special grand juries far exceeds that of individual counties working alone. The inter-jurisdictional grand juries, “relatively new creatures in Virginia,” in Mr. Luke’s words, can coordinate investigations among a number of cities and counties. They are particularly useful in drug investigations, he said, because networks of drug traffickers usually spread across many jurisdictional boundaries. He also pointed out that the secretive nature of the drug trade makes it difficult to establish cases against high-level dealers. And, the limited resources of small law enforcement agencies leaves them at a disadvantage against dealers with seemingly bottomless cash reserves. But, using the inter-jurisdictional approach, an individual charged in one locality may provide investigators in another county with information which might make a case for them. In the only recent drug-trafficking investigation in Rappahannock County, Ronald Lee Nicholson of Washington pleaded guilty last month to one count of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He was arrested in the early morning hours of last Dec. 13 at his home on the Fodderstack Road. A search of the house turned up approximately six ounces of cocaine and a small amount of marijuana. That arrest apparently resulted from the cooperation of several law enforcement agencies, according to an affadavit filed in Rappahannock Eileen M.

Voskamp of the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations in Culpeper obtained information from George Wade of the Richmond Police Department, who according to the warrant, had arrested George Massie in Richmond with four ounces of cocaine in his possession. Two individuals with Massie when he was arrested, when interviewed by Special Agent Voskamp “named Ron Nicholson as the source of the cocaine which Massie had in his possession when arrested,” the warrant states. Nicholson has entered into a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, stipulating his cooperation with the Commonwealth’s Attorney “in certain other criminal investigations,.. . to include giving truthful testimony before such Grand Juries as are specified . . . including but not limited to applicable multi-district Grand Juries or grand juries in other Virginia or Federal jurisdictions that are investigating relevant matters,” and testimony at subsequent trials. In exchange for a guilty plea to the cocaine charge, Nicholson’s agreement also provides that he will be sentenced to 40 years in prison, suspended. He will serve 12 months in the Rappahannock County jail, then four years probation following his release. During that time he will be subject to random drug testing. A second charge of possession of marijuana will be dismissed. Although the agreement has been reached in principle, it must still be approved by Circuit Court Judge Carlton Penn. Sentencing has been set for Sept. 17. Mr. Luke refused to comment whether Nicholson had played any role in the investigation which led to the indictment of Dr. Peper. It’s “amazing,” he said, where the multi-jurisdictional grand jury technique allows the trail discovered by investigators to go. Leads developed in one case, he explained, point the way to other individuals and open additional avenues of investigation. The use of the special grand jury allows cases to be made which could never happen if each agency were working alone, he added. The grand jury has its own investigators and prosecutors, and in addition it is still able to draw on the resources of the individual jurisdictions involved. Mr. Luke predicted the current investigation “will be a very interesting case,” calling it a “classic . . . building blocks” technique of establishing the framework of a case around one individual, then going from there to the next higher figure in the network. He said that eventually the entire investigation and its results will be made public, but could offer no estimate of when that might happen. Crime increase reported slight State police reported that Uniform Crime Reports reflect an increase of less than one percent in the seven Index Crimes for the first half of 1987, compared to those reported for the first six months of 1986. Reports for 1987 are preliminary, the spokesman said. Decreases were reported in rape, down 3.4 percent; robbery, down 6.4 percent; aggravated assault, with a reduction of 5.9 percent; and burglary, down 2 percent. Murder/non-negligent manslaughter showed the highest increase statewide — 20 percent. There were 216 reported cases of murder in the first six months of 1987 compared to 179 for the same period in 1986. Motor-vehicle theft also increased, by a rate of 11.5 percent; and larceny increased 1.7 percent. Index crimes are those crimes considered to represent the most serious by nature or by the volume in which they occur. In the Statewide Uniform Crime Reporting Program, contributing local law-enforcement agencies are responsible for compiling their own crime reports and submitting them to the State Police UCR section. State Police compile the statistics, provide feedback to participating agencies and forward the data on a monthly and annual basis to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in national crime reports.
