Last week, Dr. Gangel was informed by a construction crew working on the RCHS expansion project that they had found what they feared was asbestos used as pipe insulation in the ceiling above the gym. Dr. Gangel immediately ordered the entire gym sealed off, and a sample of the dust was sent to Richmond for chemical analysis. Late last week, the test results were returned to Rappahannock. The dust which fell from the small hole in the gym ceiling had tested negative. The nature of the dust remains unknown, he said, pending written test results. The telephone call which informed him of the result said only that the dust was not asbestos. However, two other samples from pipe joints else?,* - where in the building tested positive for the carcinogenic substance. Dr. Gangel said one was in a hallway outside the French room, the other in the ceiling above the teachers’ lounge. He said that the joint in the hallway had been sealed with polyethelene tape and painted with a clear acrylic sealer. The joint above the teachers’ lounge, which was insulated with a compound containing about 10 percent asbestos, was painted with the sealer. The superintendent said that he had spoken with the state Air Quality Control Board “on both a regional and state level,” and those experts had assured him that the county’s precautions were appropriate and the encapsulation was a satisfactory solution to the problem. In addition, Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said that he had checked with several private firms which specialize in dealing with asbestos-contami(See ASBESTOS, p. 18) rr*C A C nappanannoca wcw» pnotQ/LQM liwr IT S A SOGGY SIGHT as youngsters and teachers hustle to get out of the storm Tuesday morning, when torrential rains greeted the first day of school in the county. Stover tract found suitable for landfill Auer reviewing ine geotecnmcal studies submitted by Joyce Engineering, the Department of Waste Management has found the 100-acre Stover tract near Amissville suitable as a site for the county’s sanitary landfill. In a letter dated Aug. 25, geologist Terry M. Bonine advised the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to proceed with * the design phase of the permftapplfcathnj... “If they had reservations about this site, would they have included them in the letter.' asked Supervisor Nelson Lane, after administrative assistant John McCarthy read the brief formletter at last Wednesday’s board meeting. ^ \ “They would have told uaMimTii&lwffiir proceed with the design work,” Mr. McCarthy replied. The site’s deficiencies would have been outlined and the county would have had to develop s plan acceptabfeltodAielhsp^UKiit Wm*X*m**stt*i ment for countering those deficiencies,^ explained. * ‘ -1 Referring to the geotechnical report, Lorraine Early maintained that engineer Leonard Joyce had himself expressed reservations about the site’s suitability for ? solid waste disposal. “Not according to my reading of the report,” Mr. McCarthy said. “There are no problems we’ve been told of,” Supervisor Chairman Hubert GilSfc Mr> McCarthy conceded, however, that me site presents “constraints in seve ral areas.” “It has seven springs,” said Mrs. Early, co-founder and president of the Jackson District citizens group opposing the establishment of the landfill on the Stover tract. \ “Not according to Mr. Joyce’s report,” Mr. McCarthy answered. According to Mr. McCarthy, thoonly ifra—aowa ♦oWw* nth (SeeLANOFILL,p.tf Summer drought replaced by holiday deluge Feast or famine seems to be the byword for the weather in Rappahannock County this year, as the summer-long dry spell which has devastated farmers was finally broken over the weekend. The drought-breaker, however, threatened to create problems of its own as four days of precipitation brought small streams dangerously dose to low-lying roads and caused schools to be dismissed early on Tuesday. No major flooding problems were reported in the county as the rains stopped and the sun finally broke through late Tuesday af temoon. Dennis Wingfield reported that the four-day total of precipitation he measured in Sperryville was only one inch less than the total for the previous three months combined. The county received 5.48 inches over the weekend, compared to 6.44 inches during the entire summer. Mr. Wingfield said that the most rain came on Tuesday, when he measured 3.08 inches over the 24-hour period. He noted that the 5'/2-inch total is already over the monthly norm for September, which is 3.3 inches. “We’ve gotten our precipitation for the month,” he quipped. “Anything more is gravy.” During the first eight-day period of the month, he said, the average would be just about one inch. As a further note on the unpredictability of weather, Mr. Wingfield added that the total measured so far during September surpasses by 4l/2 times the 1.25 inches he recorded during September 1986. Tempera Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan | tures as well are running above last year by 5'/2 degrees. “So far, it’s been wanner and wetter ratherthan warmer and dryer.” The amateur weather-watcher, who has been keeping track of Rappahannock’s weather since he moved here in the ’60s, said that the yearly fluctuations point out the importance of a long-term data base in de veloping forecasts and averages. “Climatologists insist on at least a five-year record on which to base averages, and it’s better to have 10 years on which to base your averages.” So far, this year has been almost a mirror image of the precipitation reported during 1986. This year, the deep snows during the late winter were followed by heavy rains during the spring,.with 6.39 inches of rain in April and another 5.18 inches in May. r Last year, spring rains failed entirely, with only 3.86 inches in April and a slim 2.02 inches in May. June, (1986 provided only 1.45 inches of (See WEATHER, p.18) Warehouse for Sperryville tabled In a repeat of the public hearing two weeks ago before the Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors had no speakers - for or against - a proposed zoning ordinance amendment to allow warehouses as a special permitted use in Sperryville’s highway commercial zone. The amendment came to the supervisors’ public hearing last Wednesday without a recommendation from the planning commissioners. “The Planning Commission didn’t think it was widely known as to what was happening,” explained Newbill Miller, the board’s representative on the commission. Earlier, Mr. Miller had expressed reservations about the zoning ordinance change, proposed at the request of Martin and Cheri Woodard who operate a retail sales and mail order business at Faith Mountain in Sperryville. “I don’t think it’s a compatible use (in the highway commercial zone designed expressly for the tourist trade). If the people there want it, it wouldn’t offend me, but I’d hesitate to recommend (adoption of the amendment to the Board of Supervisors) without a show of support. I think we need the people who operate in the commercial general zone to tell us how they feel about it.” “I agree with that,” added Commissioner John Clark. “If the guy has sold his neighbors, they can sell me.” And the commissioners voted unanimously to send the proposed amendment to the supervisors with no recommendation “due to the lack of public input.” With public input still missing, the supervisors temporized. “I believe the thing to do is table this until the next meeting,” suggested Charle Estes, the board’s representative from Piedmont District and a resident of the village. No response to freight terminals There was an equal lack of public interest in a proposed amendment to change motor freight terminal from a use allowed by right to a special permitted use in Sperryville’s highway commercial zone. Again no one spoke but the supervisors. “How intense do you want the (See WAREHOUSE, p. 18) $130 million surplus? Give it back to schools Supervisor Newbill Miller knows what Virginia should do with its projected $130 million surplus: give it back to local governments to use for education. His fellow board members agree and together they’ll pass the suggestion on to Gov. Gerald L. Baliles and Rappahannock’s legislators in the state’s General Assembly. They will also seek support for the measure from their counterpart boards and councils throughout the Commonwealth, the Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Municipal League. “The State of Virginia expects this huge $130 million surplus” art&the government in Richmoiiiufis "struggling with ways to Spend it,” Mr. Miller noted at last week’s board meeting. While the state has not had to raise taxes for several yean, local governments have had to institute “tremendous” hikes in local taxes to fund new mandates and pick up bigger shares of the expense of programs formerly paid for by the state, he added. “The state could use the surplus to pick up a larger portion of educational costs,” Mr. Miller proposed. “If they mandate all these programs and we have to raise our taxes and they don’t - that’s not fair,” he concluded. The board directed assistant John McCarthy to draft a resolution for consideration at the October meeting. Delinquent taxpayers get another month Since the supervisors announced last month that they MIGHT print the list of delinquent taxpayers in the Rappahannock News, almost a quarter of the county’s “accounts receivable” has come in, and given that showing and the $642 charge for a full page ad in the newspaper, the board members have opted to allow tardy billpayers one more month before the decision is made on whether to go public. Of the $25,000 in real estate taxes unpaid at the end of June, $5,763 has been collected. In personal property taxes (levied only on licensed motor vehicles), $6,900 was delinquent as of June 30 with $591 paid in the last month. The board’s decision at last Wednesday’s meeting to table the question of advertising the delinquent list until next month drew fire from Robert Rantham Since he returned to Rappahannock County 10 years ago, the supervisors have been talking about listing the names of delinquent taxpayers in the local newspaper with the aim of “getting money from the people in this county who will not pay taxes,” Mr. Eastham said. “Screw up your courage,” he told the supervisors. “Get at it and put pressure on these people * to pay their taxes. Set a precedent for the future. ” Schools plan child screening The Rappahannock County Public Schools will conduct a screening of all children with suspected learning problems, including speech, hearing, vision, developmental delays and behavior problems. The screening can be done for all children, from infants through age 21. According to a school spokesman, the screening is part of a pro gram to provide for early detection of learning disabilities. There is no cost to parents for the screening. The clinic will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Wednesday, Sept. 16, 9 to 11 s.m.; and Thursday, Sept. 17, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. No appointment is needed. The screening takes approximately two hours.

R^priMmock Newt phoiot/Um Htfler THE TWO OCCUPANTS OF this truck were saved because they were wearing safety belts. One injury in accident A serious accident on Rt. 211 outside Washington Friday evening left only one person injured, but according to witnesses that was due to the occupants of the vehicle wearing their seatbelts. “They were very lucky” was the consensus of several people who had witnessed the accident. A report filed by Trooper R. A. Baines stated that a 1984 Chevrolet pick-up driven by Michael K. Krajnik, 25, of Newport News, was eastbound on Rt. 211 when it was struck in the side by a car driven by Mrs. Lula K. Peterson, 79, of Washington, who was crossing Rt. 211 headed south on Rt. 826. Mr. Krajnik told Trooper Baines that he swerved to avoid Mrs. Peterson’s car, but she still struck him. His pick-up skidded and flipped over, coming to rest on its wheels facing west in the eastbound lane.

PEC’s honoree proves principles still win Vinton Pickens has a lesson for all conservation-minded landowners in Rappahannock County: you can sell the farm without selling out your principles. For teaching that lesson, Mrs. Pickens will receive the 1987 Individual Award for Community Service from the Piedmont Environmental Council, to be bestowed at the organization’s annual meeting Saturday, Sept. 12. The meeting will be held at Mrs. Pickens’ Janelia Farms in Loudoun County. Most of its 288 acres will soon be developed, ending more than 250 years of agricultural production on the rolling fields and woodlands that stretch from Route 7 to the Potomac River. Most of the land will be turned into Janelia Farm Executive Center, an upscale research and development office park. Most but not all: I6V2 acres, the “home place” with its beautiful and historic old brick residence and attendant outbuildings will be protected by a Virginia Historic Landmark Conservation Easement. Another scenic easement to the Landmarks Board guards the view of Sugarloaf Mountain jutting into the skyline on the river’s Maryland side, and additional covenants secure the farm’s conservation pond and two water courses that tumble through the hardwood stands. (Sixty-six acres of river frontage along the Potomac was shielded from development more than a decade ago by an earlier easement Mrs. Pickens gave to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, specifying that the banks and flood plain will be maintained in a natural state.) Mrs. Pickens took an unusual route towards guaranteeing the security of what she deemed valuable. “I will sell my farm,” she told the developers anxious to buy this chunk of prime property in booming Eastern Loudoun. "But I will sell only if you meet my terms, not just on price but on protection of what is precious about this land.” Vinton Pickens is just the fifth owner of the "old, old property” that was granted to Thomas Lee by Lord Fairfax in 1719. It’s been farmed steadily in the intervening centuries, first in tobacco and later in grain, hay and livestock. She and her husband were not farmers by background. He was an AP reporter who covered the White House during the Hoover administration. “I tell people that, and I might as well be saying Andrew Jackson!” Mrs. Pickens said, laughing. “Both are back there some Sfc ■ A JOINT VENT!

But Mr. Pickens couldn’t leave behind the journalist’s need to know the news, and so he subscribed to The New York Times. “There was no air mail; it all came by sea. About every 10 days, this big bundle would arrive,” Mrs. Pickens recalled, spreading her arms to show that even then, The Times was a formidable pile of print. “He would read everything, front to back.” One day, Mrs. Pickens recalled, he put down his newspapers and announced,. “We have to buy land. It’s the only investment that makes sense.” In the mid-1930s, Loudoun County was miles and miles and lifestyles away from the capital city. And the distance was reflected in the land prices; Mr. and Mrs. Pickens paid just $50 an acre. For the next 50 years, they farmed. First they raised Percherons. But the switch to tractors had begun, diminishing the demand for the huge gray draft horses. “And you can’t: keep a Percheron as a pet!” Mrs. Pickens added. So she and her husband went out of the horse business and into the more practical beef cattle production. Shorthorns still graze the pastures but today the urbanization that was once miles and miles away is at the doorstep. “This is no longer a good place to farm,” Mrs. Pickens said, explaining her decision to sell. “This isn’t even a fit place to live any more.” A visitor trying to slip back out onto Route 7 from the lane to Jarielia .

Until the summer of 1984, sanitarian Jack Lockhart was assigned full time to Rappahannock. But since then, he’s split his hours, with 85 percent spent here and 15 percent in Culpeper. The Health Department wants him full time again in Rappahannock, according to Mr. McCarthy, who added that the additional service will be reflected in this year’s budget. (The Rappahannock Health Department is funded 31 percent by the county and 69 percent by the state, so 31 percent of the cost of the additional six hours would be added to the county’s share.) Mr. McCarthy also relayed the Health Department’s contention that increased use of office services has increased space needs. According to health officials, the line of patients waiting for appointments with the health nurse often extends outside the building. The department is looking for additional room and wants the county to help with the search, Mr. McCarthy said. In addition, the Health Department maintains that the nominal fees set in Rappahannock for a broad range of services related to subdivision development and real estate transfers are well below those in neighboring jurisdictions and do not cover the expense of providing those services, according to Mr. McCarthy. He advised the board that a report on those costs and recommendations for fees will be presented next month. In other business, the board: • voted unanimously to contribute $400 to the Foothills Travel Association, organized under the Planning District’s auspices to promote tourism in the five-county area of Rappahannock, Madison, Orange, Fauquier and Culpeper. The group, represented at Wednesday’s meeting by Madison County Supervisor Polly Powell, has recently produced a brochure highlighting the attractions of the five counties; 60,000 copies are being distributed by the Virginia Travel Council at the state’s information centers and to travel agents and other tourism-related businesses and organizations. The Foothills Travel Association will also launch a major membership drive this fall. HI feel this is just a small amount of money,” said Supervisor A1 Henry, adding that an increase in tourist business “will be of benefit to a substantial number of people in Rappahannock County. • issued a permit for the nonprofit Child Care and Learning Center to conduct a fundraiser with the prize of a Ford Ranger pickup truck that will be given away at CCLC’s Hunt Country Auction on Oct 3. • endorsed Orange County’s resolution to have Route 622 renamed Zachary Taylor Highway. • endorsed a resolution protesting the federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 which requires the creation of local emegency planning districts, establishment of local emergency planning committees and the formulation of plans for dealing with “potential chemical hazards and the public right to know” without providing financial assistance for this mandated effort.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1987 - -~"T Editorial Lottery is a bad bet Viewed from almost any angle of the public interest, the proposal to create a state-run lottery for Virginia is a terrible idea. The only justification held out by lottery supporters is that it would help the Commonwealth to recover the dollars spent by Virginians each year on lotteries in bordering states. However, the area where residents participate in games run by other states is so small — limited to Northern Virginia communities with easy access to the District of Columbia, Maryland or West Virginia — that the revenue recaptured would not even begin to justify the cost of the bureaucratic structure which must be created to run a state lottery. In Virginia, it is impossible to duck the family, moral and economic issues involved. A lottery means gambling. That is anathema to a large percentage of the religious groups which are at the forefront of the opposition. But moral questions aside, there are potential legal problems too. The very real concern of the state attorney general is that the lottery creates gambling and in many cases promotes, not discourages, illegal forms of gambling. The plain fact is that a lottery gives many the opportunity to gamble for the first time, and most of those first-timers will be the poor. A state-run lottery not only puts thfe official seal of approval on gambling, but the advertising which necessarily accompanies it encourages people to participate. (A compromise in the Virginia lottery bill forbids advertising to encourage playing, but lottery supporters have expressed hope that provision would soon be rescinded if the lottery is approved.) Gambling run by the state also leaves it in an awkward position. The state is empowered to jfrotect its residents from fraudulent hucksters, yet the pitches used in lottery advertising emphasize the huge payoffs made to a few, while giving the miniscule odds of winning the least pubhcity possible. The lottery succeeds only if the ticket-buyers lobe. In effect, the state is coldly calculating to make a profit off the losses of its residents. Is this really an admirable way for a government to behave? There are a host of practical reasons for voting “NO” in November to the referendum question. Most important is the fact that the creation of a lottery is in fact the creation of a hidden, additional tax. If our legislators are convinced that the state needs more tax revenue, they should raise those monies through “up-front” taxes and not rely on this backdoor, regressive approach. Let them state their case to the people, and let the voters decide. The experience of other states has also proven that lottery revenues can be expected to decline from the optimistic figures touted by its supporters - assuming that those figures pan out to begin with. D. C. is projecting decreases in revenue for the first time in its lottery’s fouryear history, and West Virginia reported a 50 percent decline in ticket sales during the lottery’s second year. So, let’s look at the revenue projections. Supporters projected that first-year gross would be $530 million. Of that figure, the Senate Finance Committee report stated that $201 million would be returned to the state. That’s only 38 percent - leaving the lion’s share of the take being spent on administration and prizes. Prizes, too, are no bargain. Most state lotteries are run on 1000 to 1 odds, with a payoff of 500 to 1. It doesn’t take a Las Vegas bookie to tell you that, coupled with the infinitesimal chances of hitting a major jackpot, means the majority of players will never recoup their investment. But that dream of instant, easy wealth is the principal force driving any lottery - or any gambling for that matter. It’s no coincidence that the majority of lottery players are poor. The pipe-dream of instant wealth is a powerful opiate. The state’s own figures say that the most tickets for the Maryland lottery are sold in Prince George’s County and Baltimore City, the largest pockets of disadvantaged residents in the state. On the other hand, several states are undertaking major advertising campaigns to promote the lottery among the more affluent segments of their populations - people who could more easily afford to plav the lottery, but who have traditionally stayed away in droves. Perhaps most important, the lottery proposal has drawn bi-partisan opposition from across Virginia’s political spectrum, including former Governors Robb and Holton. Virginia does not need a lottery to raise tax revenue, and it does certainly not need the bureaucracy necessary to adminisj^r this form of legalized gambling. But, above all, it does notmeed after two centuries to enter the gray world of state-driven theft from the pockets of those residents of the Commonwealth who are most vulnerable to the seductive lures of gambling and who can least afford to buy those empty promises. -Rappahannock Heritage - Rappahannock News phottVLou Haller BEFORE THE RAINS, this spectacular sunset was the view looking west from Boot Jordan’s Hill toward the mountains. Letters to the editor The teacher speaks To the editor: Throughout the summer, I have read with interest about the PE situation at RCES. As the central figure in all this, I have kept quiet up to „ this point and for. good reason. I don’t want to see this controversy become a personal battle between the teachers, parents and students of RCES and myself. With the opening of school this week, I can no longer hide out in Madison. I have to face my colleagues, students and their parents. It is for this reason that I have decided to share my feelings on the subject. First of all, I agree that upper elementary students need physical education every day. So do the primary grades. The fact is, there are too many students in this school and too few hours in the school day to practically provide this service. With double classes, the gym is often too small to allow students the freedom to move much faster than a slow jog without risking injury. The added size, speed and strength of 7th grade students compounds the injury problem. Give these students a ball and even the most cautious play can be hazardous. • My aide last year, Nancy Free man, was a tremendous help in the areas of discipline and control (among others), but as she will admit, she was not trained as a teacher. For any. sort of individualized instruction (especially with limited equipment), I would often have to take a small group (12-16) up on the stage while she supervised the remainder of the group in some other activity. This is not an ideal situation. It is my feeling that if the high school can employ two PE teachers for approximately 200 students, then RCES could justify employing two PE teachers for 600 students. In response to the comments in the Sept. 3 issue of The Rappahannock News I would like to add these feelings. I feel that Dr. Gangel’s decision to cut back the PE schedule is a personal victory for quality vs. quantity. My purpose at RCES is not to give the classroom teachers a break. If anyone thinks that I am going to have an easy time this year, they are welcome to look at my schedule. It is more demanding than ever. My planning period is gone and I will teach seven 30-minute classes back to back (with no break in be tween) before my 30-minute lunch break. Then I will teach four more 30-minute classes and one 15-minute class which ends right at 3 o’clock. I am not complaining. What matters to me is seeing these students on a more individual basis, not in groups of 45-60. .. Second, as long as I’ve been here, no one has ever asked to see my scores from the physical fitness tests. They have never been made public and few parents have even asked to see their child’s scores. Therefore, I don’t know how Mrs. Eastham can say our scores are declining and the requirements have been raised. The requirements have not been raised. In fact there is no criterion for graduation based on a fitness score. The test format will change somewhat this year, but that is all. I have found that most students improve their scores from fall to spring. This is probably due to several factors: normal growth and development, learning the mechanics of a particular test, motivation, attitude, weather, health and increase in fitness. True, there are some kids who will never pass any of the tests, but I still see improvement in their scores. I will begin compiling a list of all fitness scores (names excluded) that I welcome anyone to examine. Finally, the things Mrs. Baines pointed out as needing to be done during their planning period (IEP meetings, etc.) are all things that K3 teachers have had to stay after school to do. They have doubled their classes to allow a break on the day that they, don’t have PE, music d or library. In the past, the 4-7 grade ; » teachers have had their lunch break, \ PE every day and on some days a second break for music or library. This new schedule will put their free time on an equal basis for K-3 teachers. In conclusion, it is true that 4-7 grade students need physical activity every day both in school and at home after school. The socializing that those students have expected to do in my class can be done during their recess or classroom PE time. This will allow me to have a greater impact and a higher quality PE program. This change in curriculum is still not an ideal situation. Until another PE teacher is added, the School Board will be faced with the expense and time required to interview and hire new PE teachers to replace the ones who invariably bum out after three or four years. CAROL L. NOWAKOSKI RCESPE TEACHER Reva, Va. 1987’s bicentennial By ROBERTS. HILL MAPIETTA, OHIO - I write these words in my study overlooking the Muskingum River, a few hundred yards above its confluence with the Ohio. The trees along the bank keep from sight, this time of year, the towers of the town - church and college and courthouse - across the river. In the park just upstream stands a sculpture called “The Start Westward” by Gutzon Borglum, the creator of Mount Rushmore. Borglum’s pioneers disembark there, much as the first settlers of Marietta did in April of 1788, beginning the colonization of Northwest Territory of the United States - the vast domain stretching out from the Ohio to the Mississippi, encompassing Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota. Today flags from those states fly from flagstaffs newly planted on the flanks of the monument. For Marietta’s bicentennial celebration is starting soon, and the community knows it is an occasion of more than local importance. The year of celebration will commence this month with a parade and worship services, an ice-cream social Dr. Robert Hill is Professor of Political Science at Marietta College, Marietta Ohio. He is also a member of the Northwest Ordinance and U.S. Constitution Bicentennial Commission of the State of Ohio. and an academic symposium. The most important ceremonies occur on July 13, and justly so: July 13 marks the 200th anniversary of the event that made the existence of Marietta possible. Two hundred years ago on that date the Congress of the old Confederation enacted the Northwest Ordinance. Though not often referred to today, the Northwest Ordianace of 1787 is an impressive historical landmark nonetheless. The Ordinance ensured that settlers moving into the Territory would find law and order already established; it guaranteed that when a sufficient number of them had arrived they would be entitled to a good measure of self-government. The Ordinance promised to create new states that would frame constitutions for themselves and enter the federal union on an equal footing with the original ones. The Ordinance also acted as a sort of bill of rights. It shielded freedom of conscience and secured property rights; it guaranteed such essential liberties as iurv trial and habeas corpus; it encouraged education and prohibited slavery in the Territory forever. In short, the Ordinance opened the Northwest region to settlement and stamped it with special character; and it set the pattern of territorial development as the nation extended itself to the Pacific. It is not too much to say that the spirit that animates the Constitution of 1787 also animates the Northwest Ordinance. Both the Constitution and the Ordinance were drafted to cope with the crisis of the union. The constitution gave the government of the United States the power it needed if the union of the states were not to disintergrate. And the Ordinance fortified national authority in a very down-to-earth way. By giving government to the Northwest Territory, the Ordinance made the land within the Territory marketable - and hence a source of revenue for the empty federal treasury. Moreover, both the Constitution and the Ordinance were concerned with the preservation and improvement of republican government - what might be called representative democracy, directed at securing liberty through law. By 1787 it seemed to the most sober of Americans that unjust majorities in state legislatures were perverting republicanism and thereby provoking an anti-republican reaction. They sought in the Constitution (In Madison’s words) “a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government. As for the Northwest Ordinance, its grand object is declared to be “extending the fundamental principles of...liberty which form the basis whereon...republics are erected;” and so it tends “to fix and establish those principles as the basis of all laws, constitutions and government, which forever hereafter shall be formed in the...territory...” Nowadays we tend to think of “fundamental principles” as somewhat vague aspirations or abstractions. But that is not the way the Northwest Ordinance treated them. Principles of liberty are generators of liberty, and to serve as a basis for republicanism they must be concrete. They include those ways of acting and thinking and feeling that support republican government. Take just one of those principles as expressed in the Ordinance: “Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” Much could be said about this celebrated maxim. (For example, what about school prayer?) But for now I will note a simple thought at its core: Majority injustice, the disgrace and danger of republican government, is avoided to the extent that the majority of the people are well-instructed enough to recognize and self-controlled enough to respect the rights of the rest of the people. The Ordinance’s method of preserving and improving republican goverment differed from the Constitution’s. Its task was creating new societies, so it payed more direct attention to planting and nurturing the habits and opinions that are the seeds of flourishing republics. In that way it complemented the Constitution - or perhaps even completed it. And for that reason the Northwest Ordinance, and its wisdom, should not be overlooked in this bicentennial year.

By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock NiwiCoatiibatinf Writer When she was six, Ethel CaffieAustin sang her first solo in her West Virginia church. Since then, she’s never stopped singing, growing up to become a well-known and respected singer and teacher of gospel music, touring all over the South. She will appear here on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18 and 19, for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. She’ll visit the county for two days, directing a gospel workshop Friday night at Promise Land Baptist Church and a rehearsal Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. At 8 that night she will lead a chorus of Rappahannock voices in a gospel concert. Who will be in that chorus? Rappahannock housewives, professionals, businessmen — some with previous gospel experience and some with none. That’s the purpose of “Gospel for Everyone” - to take untrained voices and transform them into a gospel choir. This she does by the force of her personality and the scope of her enormous talent. According to Paul Reisler, Rappahannock resident and Trapezoid founder, “Ethel Caffie-Austin moves people with the tremendous power of her music and her faith. Her music doesn’t preach — it transforms with the sheer force of her artistry and her integrity. She has devoted her life to gospel music so that the rest of us can hear the voice which passes through her and know for those precious moments just how beautifol it is. I’ve seen her change a group of white folks who couldn't clap in time into an outrageous gospel choir in just a few hours. She makes us remember that somewhere deep down we all know how to sing. Ethel guides us down the pathways of memory to where we discover the indescribable joy of giving ourselves to the music.” Like Mr. Reisler, Ethel CaffieAustin believes that there’re a lot of closet gospel singers out there - LFCC late registration Lord Fairfax Community College will conduct late registration for its ten-week Fall Quarter until Sept. 17. The hours will be from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. Tuition must be paid when registering. The bookstore will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday, and evening hours from 5 to 7 p.m. will be held Monday through Thursday. .cmpLate registration is on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis.

Call 675-3349 to place your ad folks who might belt out a few hymns while working around the house but who wouldn’t dream of letting loose in public. She says, "There’s a special joy in singing gospel music and a special enthusiasm in singing black music, and ANYONE can do it. There’s something special in black religious music. Black spirituals tell of experiences blacks have had; for example, the slaves would sing to pass on messages to fellow slaves when they were planning escapes. Black voices have a certain quality with the rich, resonant sound. But it can be developed with a little work. I’ve herad all-white choirs sing the blade spirituals beautifully.” "Graduates” of her workshops say that she can, indeed, take a small group of interested amateurs or a full-scale chorus of practiced students of gospel music and create a souod of beauty, spontaneity and oneness. Those from either group wishing to join Ethel Caffie-Austin may do so by calling Charlotte Freeman at 676-3347, Sally Nash at 967-3451, or the RAAC office at 676-3193. Those wanting to experience the results of her work may join the singer and her students at the Gay Street Theater in Washington on Saturday, Sept. 19. Ticket prices are $4, $6, and $6.

They had asked permission to re-write some of the wedding ceremony. At the conclusion of the actual wedding vows, the young football star pledged: “Nancy, I promise you that I will not punt on fourth and ten, even with my back against the goal line." What a commitment! Any football player knows that when your back is against the goal line, and it’s fourth down and ten yards to go for a first down, you punt. You get out of the situation the best way you can. That pledge should be written into every wedding ceremony. It should become a part of the marriage vows. It speaks volumes! It says that nothing in life will cause a couple to "give up the ball. " It says that they have taken the "ball of marriage" seriously and will together find ways and means to work out of any crisis that comes down the field. Such a commitment enables a couple to search for solutions, knowing that happiness lies not only on the other side of struggle, but precisely "in the struggle."

This was the best foreign film of 1986. (Czech with English subtitles). Director Jiri Menzel’s unhurried depiction of life in a Czech village takes its own sweet time, but by the time you’ve realized that nothing much will ever happen, the movie has developed so much cumulative charm that you’ll miss it when it’s gone. Village is about bigcity bureaucrats trying to gull the bumptious hero Otik out of his quaint cottage - but mostly Menzel is concerned with conveying the texture of village life, and he takes an affectionate interest in the idiosyncracies of its people. The movie is rated PG. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children.

Fourth annual G.W. Beahm/Bolen reunion nyPOROTHY W. GALLOWAY ■■fpanunoek New* Contributinf Writer Although Sunday, Sept. 7, 1987 was a rainy, overcast day, this didn’t dampen the spirits of the group that convened for the occasion at the pavilion in the Rappahannock County Park. All of 75 enthusiastic persons braved the inclement weather to Partake of the abundant and delidous meal and to eryoy the program before the repast. Out-of-state attendees induded six from Pennsylvania, six from Maryland, two from OWo and one from Washington, Neva Grant ousted Georgia Jenkins Vaughan from her long-held position as the oldest in attendance, Neva being older by three years. Brian Dunn had the honor of being the youngest male present and Melanie Beahm was the youngest female. Booklets of old-time Beahm family recipes, gathered at last year’s reunion, were passed out for all to enjoy. Mary Ellen Burke suggested that next year some of the recipes should be prepared and served at our annual meeting. Stella and Dennis Johnson had prepared a poster of “Our Heritage” commemorating their visit in June to Boehm’s Chapel in Lancaster, Pa. Jim Galloway, who emceed the program, expounded a bit on the subject of the old chapel erected in honor of Rev. Martin Boehm, and encouraged everyone to visit there to find their roots. After we had sung the patriotic hymn “My Country Tis of Thee,” Rev. Abram Sangrey, a retired Methodist minister long associated with Boehm’s Chapel, was introduced along with his wife Dorothy. Rev. Sangrey also gave a short talk on the chapel and led attendees in prayer prior to our meal. Many thanks are extended to the following people who helped with organizing the reunion, the publicity and the cleaning up: Mary Ellen Burke, Hilda Metzger, Pauline Herehey, Isaac Beahm and Dorothy Rector. Lively conversation ensued during and after the meal and many group photos were taken. All agreed the reunion was again an enjoyable event and look forward to more of the same in 1988.' starting right at school By JOHN BORGENS RaMNdwnnock New. Contributing Writer With children heading back to school this week, it is an excellent time for parents to get their youngsters started off right for the year. Often, the first days and weeks of school can set the tone for the child’s entire year. A juvenile probation officer I work with is convinced he has discovered the four essential ingredients for a child to be successful in reaching his potential in school. His formula? • Be consistent in attendance. • Always do all the assigned homework. • Study for at least one hour each night. • Do not do anything in class which would cause the teacher to dislike you. Of course there are times when more specific assistance is needed, but in general these are good suggestions. There are many students out there who have high potential but who develop bad study habits. Almost invariably, the bad habits are reflected in their poor grades. Most teachers are eager to work with students. The only thing they ask is that the student show some interest and motivation. Teachers are also usually willing to go out of their way to meet with interested or concerned parents. For each youngster, no matter what age, their school experience is a cooperative effort between themselves, their parents, and school faculty and administrators. When all do their parts, the experience can be very rewarding and fulfilling for everyone. However, the best intentions are sometimes not enough. If behavior or learning problems arise, parents may need to talk with the school principal, school psychologist or local family counselor. Long and sometimes difficult experience has shown that the earlier a problem is detected and addressed, the more effectively it can be treated. John Borgens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. He has offices in Washington and Madison. Moderation is key to healthy diet Eggs and red meat, sometimes considered unwise food choices because of their high fat and cholesterol content, are recognized by the American Heart Association as acceptable components of a hearthealthy diet. During the third annual American Heart’s Food Festival, Sept. 13-19, the American Heart Association is presenting information on how to lower cholesterol and fats in the diet without giving up foods you like. , “Eggs and beef can be part of a low cholesterol diet as long as they are selected and prepared in accordance with American Heart Association recommendations,” said Jeanine Sherry, R.D. “When choosing meat,” she said, “look for the leanest variety, no more than 15 percent fat, and trim all visible fats. Avoid heavily marbled and fatty meats such as corned beef, regular pastrami, short ribs, spare ribs, rib-eye roast or steak, regular ground beef, frankfurters, sausage, bacon and high-fat luncheon meats.” Ms. Sherry also suggested that people should avoid eating goose and domestic duck and organ meats, except for liver which the American Heart Association recommends in a small (3 oz.) serving about once a month because of its richness in iron and vitamins. Eggs have long been considered a dietary “don’t,” but according to the American Heart Association, you can avoid the majority of the cholesterol content of an egg by avoiding the yolk. One whole egg contains aDDroximatelv 274 miUi grams of cholesterol. Dietary guidelines of the AHA recommend no more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day for a healthy adult. But eggs are also rich in protein, B vitamins, iron and other minerals. Preparation and moderation are the keys. The American Heart’s Food Festival, taking place in supermarkets and restaurants across Virginia Sept. 13-19, will emphasize the importance of lowering cholesterol in your diet while still enjoying foods such as red meat, dairy products, eggs, dried beans and legumes, fish and seafood, oils and margarines, poultry, wheat and grain products, and fruits and vegetables. Cholesterol is a fat-like substance found among the fats in the blood and is a major risk factor in cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The Food Festival is taking place in 400 supermarkets in Virginia, many of which will offer store hours for school children and low cholesterol food tastings for the public. For an all-around heart-healthy diet, try incorporating these suggestions into your daily diet plan - you’ll find you can enjoy a wide variety of good-tasting foods while keeping your heart healthy by maintaining a low blood cholesterol level: 1. Four or more servings of vegetables and fruits (or juices). 2. Four or more servings of bread, cereal and starchy foods. 3. Two or more servings of lowfat milk, cheese and dairy products. 4. Five to seven ounces of lean meat, fish or poultry. 5. No more than five to eight teaspoons of fats and oils. 6. Limit whole eggs or egg yolks to no more than two per week. •For more information about the third annual American Heart’s Food Festival or a copy of the American Heart Association Diet, please contact your local office of the American Heart Association.

Aspartame makes sweets without sugar By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economic* Aspartame (known by the brandname Nutra-sweet) is enjoyed by millions of health-conscious people daily. It may be found in a wide variety of foods and beverages found on local grocery shelves. It is made of two protein components (amino acids). These components are phenylalanine and aspartic acid. Each of these amino acids may be found naturally in a variety of foods. TTiis sweetner was found accidentally in 1965 during research for ulcer drugs by a researcher of the G.D. Searle & Co. of Skokie, 111. It is considered by both the Food & Drug Administration and the G.D. Searle & Co. to be the most thoroughly tested and studied additive approved l)y FDA. Before its approval by the FDA in July 1981, more than 100 scientific studies were conducted with a crosssection of men, women and children as well as animals over an extended period of time. In some studies the amounts of additive consumed were equivalent to nearly 550 teaspoons of sugar. There were no evidences of any ill effects from consuming Nutra-Sweet in any of the studies. The FDA issued the following statement when Nutra-Sweet was approved as a sweetner. “Few compounds have withstood such detailed testing and repeated close scrutiny, and the process through which aspartame has gone should provide the public with additional confidence in its safety.” Many consumers complain of dizziness, headaches, and other symptoms after consuming products containing Nutra-Sweet. The FDA asked the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta in February of 1984 to evaluate the complaints to date. By mid-April 1984, 517 of the 592 complaints were under investigation. In November 1984, the CDC reported “although some individuals may have an unusual sensitivity to aspartame products, the data obtained do not provide evidence for the existence of serious, widespread adverse health consequences attendant to the use of aspartame.” Nutra-Sweet is 200 times sweeter than sugar and has neither calories nor sodium and does not leave the bitter aftertaste of some artificial sweetners. While NutraSweet can be used in hot beverages as well as cold beverages, it is not recommended for baking as it loses its sweetness when exposed to high heat for extended periods of time. Products containing Nutra-Sweet can be frozen without any damage to the taste or texture. Because Nutra-Sweet is made from protein components, the body metabolizes them in the same way that it does fruits, vegetables and meats containing the same components. Diabetics as well as dieters are able to enjoy Nutra-Sweet. The American Diabetic Association has approved this form of sweetner to be used as part of the diabetic meal plan, The same rule applies for the diabetic that applies to the general population with almost any food item - use in moderation.

Rappahannock Journal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Tough air laws urged by Virginia Coalition Passage of a comprehensive clean air act that will strengthen and reauthorize the original act is being urged by the Virginia Clean Air Coalition. The U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works will meet Sept. 15 and 16 to debate the first comprehensive Clean Air Act revisions in 10 years. These are embodied in the Mitchell Bill, now before the full committee. Virginia Senator John W. Warner (R) is a new member of the committee. The committee will consider major air pollution problems such as acid ram, toxic emissions and ozone standards, all issues affecting the health and' welfare of Virginians, according to David F. Bailey, coalition steering committee member and director of the Virginia Office of the Environmental Defense Fund. “We are concerned that final legislation may not be strong enough to protect Virginia,” said Bailey. “Virginia, like many East Coast states, is both a victim and a source of air pollution. There is little doubt that acid rain falling on Virginia, damaging trees and crops, originates from out-of-state sources. Virginia is powerless to prevent this without stringent federal legislation. “Virginia does create its own air pollution through its industrial and electric utility sources and automobile and truck exhaust emissions. One example of Virginia’s problem is that Richmond and Northern Virginia will not be able to lower ozone levels to meet the Environmental Protection Act Standards by Dec. 81,1987.” “Control of Virginia air pollution sources is heavily dependent on national standards and criteria established to avoid economic disadadvantage to Virginia industry and to provide practical solutions to interstate air problems,” said Carl C. Boo berg, coalition steering committee member and executive director of the American Lung Associaton of Virginia. “The most important issue in air pollution control is the health of the public. Air pollution emissions seriously affect the young, the elderly and those suffering from respiratory disease,” Booberg said. “For every man, woman and child in our country, there’s one ton of polluted air. Health care costs attributable to outdoor air pollution alone amount to between $5 billion and $40 billion annually with the closest estimate some $16 billion.” ‘The Coalition recognizes that Senator Warner has a major opportunity to shape air quality for Virginia and the nation,” according to Booberg. “We are letting him know our concerns on behalf of all Virginians.” VSDA sets wheat provisions T. V. Williams Jr., Chairman of Rappahannock’s ASCS Committee, announced that sign-up for the 1988 wheat program will extend from Oct. 19 through April 1,1988. Sign-up dates for the remaining 1988 commodity programs, feed grains, will be announced later. However, these sign-ups also will end April 1,1988. There will be a required 27.5 percent acreage reduction plus the following wheat program provisions: • Under the 50/92 provision, grazing of designated conservation-use land will be permitted upon the request of State Agricultural and Conservation Committees. Haying will not be permitted except under emergency conditions. • Offsetting compliance will not apply. • The established target price is $4.29 per bushel, the statutory minimum, and down 2 percent from the 1987 target price.

Carden notes for September By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extciuhm Agent Herbaceous Plants: • Sowing seeds of hardy annuals such as sweet alyssum, pinks and sweet peas will give the seedlings time to get established and develop good root systems before the coldest part of winter. This gives them a head start on growth and flowering next spring. • Other annuals that can be sown now include larkspur, nigella, calendula, Shirley poppies, annual scabious, and coreopsis. Sown in the open, they should be well established by the time the cold weather comes. • Dig prize gladiolus corms when the leaves yellow. The tops should be cut off 1/2 inch above the top of the corm immediately after digging. After digging, dry the corms (about 10-20 days), separate the large corms from the smaller ones and store them in damp peat moss at 4045 degrees F. where there is good air circulation. In most parts of the state, glads will normally over-winter without the need to dig them. • To harvest sunflower seeds, wait until the seeds are fully grown and starting to take on a brownish tinge, then cut the head, leaving one foot of stem. Hang it in a dry, airy spot. Do not store sunflowers one on top of the other, or they may rot. • Take cuttings of such annual bedding plants as begonias, coleus, geraniums, and impatiens. Rooted indoors, these over-winter in a bright window and give plants for next year’s garden. • Perennial flowers which will bloom in September include Biglow sneezeweed (Helenium Biglovii), hardy asters, hardy chrysanthemums, showy stonecrop (Sedum spectabile), false dragonhead (Physostegia virginiana), bigleaf sea lavender (Limonium latifolium), and great azure sane (Salvia Pitcheri). • Plant new Madonna lilies as soon as they arrive. Do not plant deeper than one inch from top of bulb to ground level. PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN. High blood pressure can be controlled Tb learn how. all us American Red Cross • Mums can be transplanted while in bloom which makes them useful for instant landscapers in early autumn. Dig plants carefully after thorough watering, retaining as much of the root system as feasible. Gently loosen a small amount of soil from the outer soil depth. Water thoroughly to set plants in. As with any transplanting, it is best to do this in early morning or late evening when temperatures are cook Monitor plants carefully for several days for wilting, and shade briefly during the hotter periods of the day, if necessary. • Establish new perennial flower beds; dig, divide, and replant overcrowded beds of bearded iris, cannas, daylilies, violets, and shasta daisies. Spread a liberal amount of organic matter and bulb fertilizer evenly over the area. Mix this into the soil at least 6 to 8 inches deep. Space divisions at least 1 foot apart in all directions so that root competition will not be a problem for several years. • Dig out the list of spring flowering bulbs you made last spring and start getting them into the ground so you can be among the blissful rather than wistful as next winter snows begin to melt. If you did not get a list started last spring, a few bulbs to consider for starters are Snowflake, Glory-of-the-Snow, Snowdrops and Winter Aconite. • Lots of spring bulb fanciers swear by bonemeal for fertilizing their planting beds, but the phosphorus in bonemeal is almost completely unavailable to plants until the soil temperature reaches about 50 degrees F. Bonemeal might aid your bulbs late in the growing season, but it does not aid flowering appreciably. More soluble phosphorus fertilizers may work* better in spring. s • Plant tubers of both garden and tree peonies in September or early October so they wifi have time to become established in the soil before winter. Dig a hole 18 inches across Call ®lje fcappafjannocfe JittoB at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos. and 18 inches deep for each tuber. Space the holes so that the plants will be at least 3 feet apart. Pile loose soil at the side of the hole and break up all lumps. Make sure the roots are buried only lVs to 2 inches below ground level so they will bloom next summer. • The maintenance of tulips as perennials depends on proper selection of site, cultivars, and nutritions. Soil aeration is the most important consideration in siting tulips - forget poorly drained sites. Add organic materials to heavy clay soils and loosen the soil down to a foot deep, if possible. Herbs: • To insure a good crop of big bulbs next fall plant garlic cloves this fall. Be sure to cover with a layer of organic mulch. • Garlic is harvested when the tops die down. To prepare garlic for long term storage, cure the bulbs for four to six weeks in a warm, dry, shady location where there is very good air circulation. Pile bulbs no more than two to three deep. After curing, store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated spot. • If you plan to move some of your chives indoors this winter, this is the time to pot them up. When dividing your outdoor plants, select young, mature plants and pot 8 to 10 per 6 inch pot. They will do best on a sunny windowsill. • Allow plants to finish the summer growth cycle in a normal manner. Heavy applications of fertilizer or excessive pruning at this time will encourage new growth. This will delay the hardening process that has already begun in anticipation of winter several months ahead. New growth can be injured by an early freeze. • Water newly planted trees and shrubs to provide sufficient moisture and prevent winter damage. Add a 3- inch layer of a organic mulch such as shredded bark around the base of plants to retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. Leave mulch back about 5 inches from the trunk of the tree to prevent mice feeding on the bark. 10 free trees for fall planting The National Arbor Day Foundation is giving 10 free shade trees to everyone who joins the non-profit foundation during September 1987. A sugar maple, weeping willow, red oak, green ash, thornless honeylocust, pin oak, silver maple, tuliptree, river birch and red maple will be given as part of the foundation’s campaign to encourage tree planting. The foundation will give the ten free trees to members contributing $10 during September. The 6- to 12inch trees will be shipped this fall between October 15 and December 10 when conditions are right for planting. They will be sent with enclosed planting instructions and are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free by the foundation. To become a member of the foundation and to receive the free trees, a $10 membership contribution should be sent to Ten Shade Trees, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by September 30,1987. BloodmobUe in Warrenton The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton United Method* ist Church on Thursday, Sept. 17 between the hours of 12:30 and 5:80 p.m. Its goal is to collect 90 units. Except for the special blood drive organized by the Highway Dept., blood collections over th$/ summer did not meet their goals. With the usual vacation season at an end, officials of the Fauquier Chapter of the Red Cross hope there will be a good response to the present appeal for blood. ,/ / . The previous appearance of the Bloodmobile in Warrenton, in July, drew 81 prospective donors, only 72 of whom were accepted for donations. To Mr. Boijes, that means that there are a number of people in the area who now are eligible to contribute blood. A blood donor may be anyone 17 or older in good health who has not given blood for two months. Save Up To • Maximum points limited to $1,250, no matter how large your loan.

He said that enrollment is 360 students, up by about 10 percent over last year, with most classes filled to capacity, “and a few overcrowded.” Despite the jump in enrollment, the numbers at Wakefield are still under the 400-student ceiling set by the school’s Board of Trustees. The addition of three new teachers brings Wakefield’s faculty to 39 in number. According to Mr. Lynn, the new members of the faculty are all experienced teachers with interesting backgrounds. The major academic change at the school this year, Mr. Lynn said, is the doubling of mathematics classes in grades one through six. Where students previously spent just over an hour on mathematics daily, they will now spend two hours each day. The change, Mr. Lynn explained, was prompted by the school’s study of a Japanese system of teaching mathematics to elementary-age children. The headmaster added that the school is determined to match Japanese results in mathematics within the next three years. New courses being offered at Wakefield during the 1987-88 academic year include Advanced Placement Computer Science, A. P. Political Science, full-year courses in Economics and Geopolitics, Art History and Biology II for students who have completed General Biology but who do not wish to take A. P. Biology. Mr. Lynn said that, as the academic year begins, morale among students, faculty and administrators “is the highest I have seen in the past 10 years. Wakefield is looking forward to a very good year.” Help wanted at RCES By CINDY ANDREONI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer I think I can, I think I can, I know we can. The Rappahannock County Elementary School PTA begins an ambitious year with its first meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 14 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the RCES library. Babysitters will be provided in the cafeteria for children accompanying parents. This will be a chance to meet many of the new administraI —— tors who will be on hand to introduce themselves. The PTA will also be voting on a budget for the year as well as reviewing the numerous projects listed below: • cultural arts programs for children • sock hops • family movie nites v • Christmas stocking fundraiser • Spring fun fair • Special Olympics sponsor • volunteer help for teachers • newsletter • bus communications system • various information programs and workshops for parents • and more... As with the little engine that could, the combined efforts of everybody will make the above a reality and enrich all of our lives. Lets go, Rappahannock! Mrs. Andreoni is President of the Parent-Teacher Association at RCES. Ideas to keep TV in its place When elementary school children were asked, “If you had to give up one of these for the rest of your life, which would you give up: watching TV, or talking to your father?” Half of the children answered, “Talking to my father.” People have allowed television to reshape their personal lives more than any other technological innovation of the 20th century, said Thomas Lickona, developmental psychologist and professor of education at Cortland College in New York. Writing in a recent issue of PTA Today, the National PTA’s magazine, Mr. Lickona adds that we may have even allowed television to replace parents as children’s primary moral teacher. “Television can take over as our children’s moral educator in two ways: by shutting down family communication and by inundating our SEND THEM BACK ID COLLEGE WITH A COLLEGE GIFT SUBSCRIPTION Don't leave home without your local newspaper!

Children learn kindness, honesty, and respect for others through human interactions. Television steals precious communication time from parents and children by reducing crucial dialogue, he believes. Face-to-face communication with adults is especially important, the author noted, because through it much of children’s moral learning takes place and their character is formed. One second-grade teacher told Mr. Lickona that children who are deficient in basic manners and interaction skills tend to come from families that have the television on while they eat. Television also presents negative moral models to children, he said. During prime-time programming, children are exposed to muggers, rapists, embezzlers and drug dealers whose actions affect children’s perceptions of what is normal human behavior. A report summarizing more than 2,500 studies found “overwhelming evidence” that television increases children’s aggression. Mr. Lickona said, “Even if youngsters don’t copy the violence they see on the screen, watching it tends to produce a hohum attitude toward violent behavior.” What can we do to keep television from dominating our family life and taking over as our children’s major teacher of morality? Mr. Lickona’s article suggests the following: • Set a good example. Research shows that parents who watch little television tend to have children who watch less. • Require children to ask permission to watch television. Make it clear that watching television is a privilege, not a right. • Regulate what your children watch. Sit down with your children and watch the shows they’re watching. Explain why you want to eliminate objectionable programs by saying, ‘These programs go against the values we believe in as a family.” • Reduce the amount of time the set is on. Designate one or two nights a week as “quiet time” when the set stays off all evening. • Brainstorm alternatives to TV. Take 10 minutes as a family and list all the possibilities. Post the list on the refrigerator and refer youngsters to it when they’re bored. • Try to make television a special event rather than a daily routine. Establish a “specials only” policy in which no one turns on the set unless there is a special program worth watching. That way turning on the set becomes a deliberate decision rather than a mindless habit. Mr. Lickona believes that schools can help as well. “Some principals send a letter home asking parents to restrict television to one-half hour a night,” he said. As the school year begins, starting it off right by establishing ground rules early can keep problems from cropping up later on. % Be Resourceful. Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT

I Horses and people committed to canvas D By LOU HATTER Ravptfuuuiock News ataff Writer His paintings capture the essence of the person - and the animal. Some artists are talented portrait painters, with an eye for the subtle features, the nuances which make a portrait a record of the personality as well as the person. Others are talented animal painters, able to commit to canvas the details which distinguish a businessman’s prized thoroughbred from a young girl’s cherished pleasure pony. None, except Scott Griswold, has successfully combined the two. This unique talent has led him across the country and around the world to paint the famous, the not so famous, and their children. His clients have included Paul Newman, whose portrait was done not with horses, but with his race car. Mr. Newman was so taken with the painting that his wife Joanne Woodward, an avid horsewoman, commissioned Mr. Griswold to do her portrait with her favorite riding horse. He has also painted Charles Bronson’s children; those paintings were also done with their ridine no mes. But Mr. Griswold’s talents are not reserved for the Hollywood set. Recently he was in Culpeper for the Commonwealth Park horse show. During the week he and his wife Marceil spent there, he photographed patrons who had commissioned paintings, as well as showed examples of his work to others interested in his special brand of portraits. Since he works from photos, he described the photograph as “critical” to the realism of the finished work. “You have to see it to be able to draw it,” he said. Mrs. Griswold, who describes herself as the business half of the partnership, called their vocation “just a fun, fun business.” She added, “I sure believe in the product. That helps a lot.” That Mr. and Mrs. Griswold enjoy their work is evident. As they relaxed on the porch of Meadowood Bed and Breakfast in Slate Mills, where they stayed during the Commonwealth Park show, the strain of presenting themselves and their art during the days seemed to evaporate into the cool evening air. Asked how he got into his line of work, Mr. Griswold offered a typically nonchalant answer. “I’ve painted since college. I started with people, then worked into the animals.” Actually, he graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in fine arts, intending to pursue commercial art as his career. 1 After working for agencies for several years, he decided that “hectic life” was not for him. So, he began to freelance his talents. The Griswolds have been together for “a long time,” as Mrs. Mr. Griswold is represented by Portraits Inc. in New York City, and locally by Cindy Erkel of Ivy, Va. For information about portraits, Ms. Erkel may be contacted at (70S) U56-835S.

Griswold put it. “Actually, we grew up together,” in Canton, Pa. She remembers that one of his art professors told her, “If you stick with him you’ll never be hungry - there’s nothing he can’t draw.” “So far, he’s been right,” she adds with a smile. Along with Mr. Griswold’s national reputation have come more clients, and many more portraits.

ROUDABUSH FOR MORE INFORMATION) TO REGISTER CALL: 825-0476 BETWEEN 9:00 A.M. & 3:30 P.M. REGISTRATION BEGINS SEPTEMBER 10,1987 Serving the Counties of Culpeper, Madison, Orange & Rappahannock Since 1968 and markings.” One woman, she said, “told me that if her house burned down she would save the painting first.” As well as his private clients, Mr. Griswold is also well-known for his magazine covers. His work, in both pastels and oils, has appeared in most major horse publications, including The Blood Horse, The Florida Horse, and The Chronicle of the Horse. While in Rappahannock, Mr. Griswold visited The Chronicle’s offices in Middleburg to discuss an upcoming cover, which will appear later this fall. And his work is well represented on both sides of the Atlantic as well. He did a painting of Queen Elizabeth’s filly as a sample for a gallery in England, and four of his limited edition prints hang in the National Museum of Racing in Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Sine€ their winters are spent in Ocala, Fla., the heart of the state’s horse country, and their summers in Ocean City, N. J., the Griswolds don’t spend as much time at shows as they used to. Despite that, Mr. Griswold is booked through next soring. They attend four mqjor shows each year, one of which is Commonwealth Park. “It’s our favorite outdoor show,” Mrs. Griswold said. “It’s a top-notch, magnificent facility. And, since these are the pony finals, all the top people are here. Coupled with the comfortable atmosphere of Meadowood, and Lorraine Robson’s wonderful food.” After so many years as an artist, with the reputation and success he has achieved, does Scott Griswold see retirement ahead? Apparently not. With characteristic insouciance, he leans back, smiles and replies, “I’m not a golfer, and I don’t fish. I might as well work as sit around.” Bluemont plans 10K, fun run The village of Bluemont, located off Rt. 7 in beautiful Loudoun County, will present its ninth annual Bluemont Fair 10K and one-mile Ain run-on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Gypsy moth plan uses coordinator, no spravimr Catliiig * county-eponeored spray program to control gypsy moths "both premature and unworkable," Rappahannock’s Gypsy Moth Committee has recommended that efforts for 1968 be confined to creating and tending the position of Gypsy Moth Coordinator. Administrative assistant John McCarthy, the committee’s chairman, told the supervisors last week that the part-time position would take about 16-21 hours per month, with the coordinator concerned primarily with determining the locations and concentrations of the moths. The coordinator would conduct field work between July 1 and Oct 1 of next year to delineate infested and defoliated areas and would present a plan for spray treatment at the board’s November meeting for approval or denial. (To qualify for federal and state cost sharing for a spray program using either a chemical control (Dimilin) or biological control (Bt) the following spring, the approved plan must be submitted to the Virginia Department of Agrkul turebyNov. 16.) The committee’* report note*, that Wakefield District has been most affected by defoliation. But In a series of meetings to solicit public comment, the committee learned of the "nearly county-wide presence of egg masses ... in areas as for removed as Castieton, AmissviDe, Woodville and just west of the town ofWashington.” The report notes that for localized “hot spots” of gypsy moths, individual property owners may employ private firms to protect ornamental trees or special areas from defoliation. To assist in this private war against the invading moths, the committee is providing names and phone numbers of licensed pest control applicators. The Department of Agriculture has divided areas quaHiying for costshare spray treatment into five broad categories: (1) forested residential, (2) forested recreational, (8) forested watershed, (4) forested special and (5) uninhabited forest. And each of those categories is Anther delineated by population or dwelling unit minimum*. Ai lkr ii i county policy on where to spray, the committee tee* ommende only the area* that nay qualify under categoriea 1, 2 and 4 be included. "Rappahannock County residents depend almost eonpletaty on individual well-water supplies and so no watershed area need be protected. Category 6 is exdaded as the committee feels that the expenditure of public funds to protect individual investment property or timber land is inadvisable,” the report states. Further, the committee recommends investigating whether a costsharing program could be hmded privately, that is, have the county’s 25 percent share paid for by the individual landowners themselves, "thus restricting the cost burden to only those affected." No new personnel Presented with the committee's report at last Wednesday's board meeting, the supervisors balked at the recommendation for creating and finding the coordinator’s position. "1 have • problem with hiring someone as coordinator,” said Superviaor NewbiU Miller. "Why cant the Extension office and the state forester coordinate this activity? We have one foil-time forester and two foil-time Extension agents,” Mr. Miller notedj suggesting that agricultural agent Birgitt Thornhill work with forester Tippy Jenkins on the egg mass count necessary to determine the extent of the gypsy moth infestation. UI think continuing to hire more people (as county employees) is a mistake. .. Tippy Jenkins is extremely capable and cooperative. I’d like to see us handle this with the existing staff.” Clerk Diane Bruce reported that Mr. Jenkins had recently resigned for health reasons. "Well, then his replacement would Be the perfect pemon to do it,” Mr. Miller said. By consensus, the baoH directed John McCarthy to check with the Department of Forestry on Mr. Miller's proposal and report back at the Sept. 14 special meeting. Sludge solution finalized -— almost Alter being "lost in the bowels of bureaucracy," tbe discharge •n^ndment tt()idrid ^ntens can dispose of i. sludge ie back on track, aeeor Martin Woodard, chairman of Rappahannock's Water and Sewer Authority. . At last Thursday’s WSA meeting, Mr. Woodard reported that the Remington firm's application for a revision to its sludge disposal permit has been approved by the State Health Department's waste engineer and has been forwarded to tike State Water Control Board for re view. The WSA had expected Recyc’s permit to move quickly down the bureaucratic pipeline, gaining approval well before time to haul sludge from Sperryville’s new sewage treatment plant. But instead, the application was somehow misplaced by the officials who had to sign off an the permit amendment. And meanwhile, the sludge was accumulating. As a temporary solution, the WSA rented a trailer to store the sludge on site until the permit could be approved. "No one knew anything about anything,” recalled Mr. Woodard, who had made repeated telephone calls to the agencies involved to check on the permit's progress. "It was a nightmare!” There was more good news on Thursday, the second item coming under the financial heading. Since a letter went out from WSA attorney Douglas Baumgardner, announcing that the Au thority would place liens on property with papt due sewer bills, half the overdue accounts have beet paid. .According to treasurer Del Price, delinquent bill payers owed $£,888 last month; this month, accounts receivable dropped to $1,500. "And if five people paid up, that would cut it down to $400or $600, which is where it ought to be," Mr. Price added, as the WSA members discussed strategies for collecting from those five big debtors. In other action at Thursday’s meeting, the WSA: • Approved the purchase of thine back-up control panels, at $1,600 apiece, for the dual pump systems which serve four businesses and four residences connected to Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant. The eight are non-standard units which may require four to six weeks delivery time for a replacement in the event Of a malfunction. “I’d rather invest the money in these back-ups instead of sweating it out if there’s a breakdown," said Mr. Price. "The four to six weeks delivery time scares me.” • Authorised plant manager Urn Falls to have two loads of gravel applied to the treatment plant’s access road at an estimated coet of $800. • Learned that the Environmental Protection Agency’s "interim final audit” of the $1,490,847 grant awarded for the construction of Sperryyille’s sewage treatment plant will be conducted after the facility’s one-year performance certification, set for Nov. 17.

Pickens (Continued from Page 3) Farm had to wait 10 minutes - in mid-afternoon, not rush hour - to squeeze between the cars, and then it was in a spray of gravel thrown up by spinning tires, as the pedal went to the metal before the window of opportunity closed. Directly across the bottlenecked highway, Ashbum Farms and Ashbum Village are going in With 8,700 residential units. Down the road a few hundred yards towards Leesburg, the Magnavox lot spills over with autos. In the same direction, there’s Xerox. The other way lie Countryside, Broadrun Farms, Sugarland Run and Sterling Park, sub-' divisions already at “build-out” or restricted to infilling. And there’re Sequoia Hunt, Cascades, Mirror Ridge and Potomac Lakes, either approved or on the docket for the necessary rezonings. In between the Toyotas and Escorts on Route 7, trucks roll along. Not the farm trucks loaded with hay bales or packed with cattle, but cememt mixers, lumber trucks and flatbeds hauling building materials to construction sites. Mrs. Pickens is right. This is no longer farm country. She asked real estate agent Tom Jewell to help her market the property. He knew her concerns: this lady is a charter member of the Virginia Citizen Planners Association; she pushed for the creation of a county planning commission and served as its first chairman. “I’ve been involved in planning and zoning ever since Loudoun County has had planning and zoning - even before,” she said, with no little pride. Mr. Jewell took her concerns and turned them into an idea. Next, Frank Reynolds, a Washington, Va., attorney who concentrates on land use and zoning issues, put the idea on paper: first with the Land marks Board on a contract to accept the easements and then on a sales contracts The first may have been the more difficult. The house on Janelia Farm was already listed on the national and state registers of historic places. “It’s on the register for architectural reasons, and because it’s the last place of its kind in Eastern Loud-, oun,” Mrs. Pickens noted. Gracious plantation homes still grace estates in the western end of the county; in Eastern Loudoun, however, “the age of subdivisions” has arrived, she added. But an historic home doesn’t of itself guarantee an historic easement. Traditionally, conservation easements protect architecturally or historically significant “old town” properties threatened by urban renewal that seeks to replace them with modern buildings of concrete, steel and glass. Or, to thwart development, conservation easements go on farmland and open space and environmentally sensitive wetlands, flood plains and steep slopes. “This was a little different,” Frank Reynolds explained. The farm, still unspoiled, sits in the middle of an area “about ready to balloon with development. But the easement wasn’t put on here to keep development from happening. That wasn’t possible here.” Janelia Farm is “right now” still a farm, Mr. Reynolds Continued. But soon it’s going to be a “relatively dense commercial development, an office park.” The Landmarks Board, “used to coming into an area, taking an easement and having TOTAL say over what would happen,” had to recognize that. “First they wanted to control all the development on the entire farm. That just wasn’t realistic.” The board members eventually accepted that they couldn’t save the whole area but that Mrs. Pickens’ Weather (Continued from Page 1) precipitation, compared with 2.97 inches this year. Half of Mr. Wingfield’s summer rainfall total was recorded during June, as the summer of 1987 combined searing sunshine and a persistent breeze which sucked up whatever small amount of moisture had managed to find its way into the soil. In July, his rain gauge stayed bone dry, moistened by only 1.97 inches during the entire month, followed by a mere 1.52 inches during August. During one 18-day period in July, only 0.33 inch of precipitation fell. By contrast, the dry spell during spring 1986 was broken as the summer progressed. In July, 4.18 inches fell, followed by another 4.56 inches in August. Based on Mr. Wingfield’s observations, it appears that the only thing that can be said with certainty about the county’s weather, and the extended forecasts which are becoming more popular, is that they’re anybody’s guess.

The devlopers didn’t need persuading. Even with conditions and restrictions, the property quickly sold. As for Mrs. Pickens, who retains life tenancy of her beautiftil home with its antiques and works of art and the bits of whimsey that make it as comfortable as it is grand — she tries not to think about the coming development. “It would have been done immediately after my death anyway,” Loudoun’s Grand Dame of Planning and Zoning maintained. And she consoles herself that it’s an office park, which will bring jobs and revenue to the county, and not another subdivision with its tax-draining service demands. I was very much surprised at what a property owner can do,” Mrs. Pickens said. “Someone about to sell property doesn’t have to throw it to the wolves. You can refuse to sell unless certain things are agreed to. Of course, I was very fortunate. But even if you’re dead broke and have to sell, you can TRY to get conditions,” she added. She has advice for others who would follow her example: • “Think before you put it on the market. Think about what it is in your land that fills a community need and try to protect whatever that is.” • “Then get the best land use lawyer you can find to help you do it.” "Mrs. Pickens is unique,” maintained Mr. Reynolds, who will present the award for community service at PEC’s annual meeting. “She was willing to recognize that her land has tremendous development value, but she never gave up her long-standing commitment to environmental values and to conservation.” Warehouse (Continued from Page 1) development in highway commercial?” Mr. Miller asked, pointing out that the highway commercial zone was established solely to accommodate Sperryville’s tourist-oriented businesses. The Planning Commission had recommended adoption of the amendment but only because the special permit process gives some control as opposed to allowing motor freight terminals by right, he explained. “The Planning Cornmismon suggests that the next time a series of zoning ordinance amendments is RAY T CANNON CO.

All told him that the encapsulation of the material would solve the problem, and presented no danger to students or faculty using the building. "I would have had questions if only one person had told me that,” Mr. Chappell said Tuesday afternoon, “but after hearing the same thing from five or six experts, 1 feel that what we did was correct, and that we should have no further problems.” Dr. Gangel said that the gym has been reopened, and in fact was being used for physical education classes on Tuesday. Basketball practice has also resumed in the facility. He said that after receiving the test results last week, he requested that the contractor finish all the overhead work which needed to be done in the gym over the weekend, ana tnat nad been completed. The gym was placed “off-limits” over the holiday, he said, but that was because of the overhead work being done, not because of the asbestos threat. All work which had to be done in the gym has been finished until later in the project when the entire area will be remodeled after the new gym is underway, Dr. Gangel said. Some years ago, the School Board had hired a firm to assess the possibility of asbestos contamination in the county’s schools, and Dr. Gangel said he felt the previous administration “had done a good job” in checking out the possible dangers. He added that he plans to have another firm come in and “as a precaution” reassess the situation in light of last week’s discovery. The superintendent stressed that the only problem surfaced in the elbow joints, and that as long as the asbestos had remained undisturbed there was no danger of exposure to considered, this be studied in detail,” Mr. Miller said, adding that the commissioners felt motor freight terminals should be deleted from even the uses allowed by special permit. “I think it could ruin your tourist area,” he told Supervisor Estes. By unanimous vote, the supervisors enacted the motor freight amendment and tabled the warehouse question.

I have no major concerns as far as the students and faculty using the building.” First day is washed out County students returning from a sunny summer vacation were faced with a wet and dreary first day of classes, as the rains which inundated the area over the weekend continued on Tuesday. Children at the elementary school slogged through standing water on the sidewalks as they got off their buses and teachers did their best to offer some shelter beneath umbrellas. Later in the day, after Dr. Gangel had made a trip around the county checking the situation in lowlying areas and saw that water was rapidly rising, schools were dismissed early. He said that the decision was made to avoid the risk of buses encountering high water later in the day as the students were ferried home. Dr. Gangel said that his decision was based not only on his first-hand assessment in driving around the county, but also on the fact that several neighboring school districts had announced early dismissal, and that the Weather Service was forecasting the precipitation to continue throughout the day. He said that he felt it was the “prudent” thing to do. The girls’ basketball game scheduled Tuesday evening was cancelled. As Wednesday dawned clear and sunny, with blue skies bringing the promise of relief fror Gangel said he hoped year would be back track. 14he rain, Dr. that the school on its normal Mr. Bridges, the only speaker at the public hearing, explained that he wants to build a tenant house for the hired man who manages his farming operation.

Landfill (Continued from Page 1) and soil depth to the static water table, both of which range from 20 to 35 feet on the 100-acre site. Trenches for solid waste disposal must maintain a distance of at least five feet from either, he noted. Mr. Joyce should have preliminary design concepts for the proposed county landfill to present to the Board of Supervisors at the special meeting set for Sept. 14, Mr. McCarthy noted. In a related matter, the board’s administrative assistant reported that David Chuse, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, has been working on the establishment of a recycling program for the county. If such a program gets underway, it could reduce trash volume and thus extend the life of the landfill, concurrently reducing the cost of solid waste management for the county, he said. Mr. McCarthy said that he’s also looking into county sponsorship of a “hazardous materials day” for citizens to bring household hazardous wastes to a central point for collection and hauling to a hazardouswaste disposal site. After costs are reviewed, a report on both the hazardous-waste day and progress toward a countywide recycling will be presented at the October board meeting, Mr. McCarthy said. 10K runs The Westmoreland County Recreation Department announced that it will sponsor two 10-kilometer distance runs this fall.
