Plan amended, Stover purchase approved By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer At a special meeting Monday morning, Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the county’s Comprehensive Plan directing the county to establish a sanitary landfill, with the 99-acre Stover tract east of Amissville “a potential site.” The supervisors then approved the purchase of the property. The county’s Planning Commission recommended adoption of the amendment after a contentious public hearing last Wednesday. The reference to the Stover tract as a “potential site” was inserted as a compromise. The original language specifically named the Stover property as the site of the landfill. After voting to amend the plan, Supervisor Nelson Lane told the audience of about a half-dozen residents that he wanted to clarify several allegations made during the public hearing. He said the “most damaging” accusation was that Joyce Engineering, the firm which did the geo-technical report submitted to the State Department of Waste Management, used the wrong maps. Cathleen Shiff alleged at the hearing that the maps used by the consultants were those for the Massie’s Corner quadrangle, not the Jeffersonton quadrangle where the landfill is proposed to be located. Mr. Lane explained that the maps in question were not USGS topographical maps, as Ms. Shiff contended, but geological maps which do not exist for that area. The USGS has never mapped that area, he said. “Joyce used the next best available, which was the correct move.” The Stonewall-Hawthome District supervisor admitted “that’s not to say that there can’t be differences” in the soils between the two areas — “that’s why the borings and specific site studies are being done.” Leonard E. Joyce attended the meeting, and he backed up Mr. Lane’s explanation of the process used in analyzing the soils on the Stover site. “Mr. Joyce is a quality engineer,” Hampton District Supervisor NewbOl Miller added. “He did the best thing he could. He analyzed the soils on site, he checked the soil compositions in the Mas sie’s Corner quadrangle, and he consulted a geologic map of the State of Virginia. ” Mr. Miller said that he found another contention disturbing. Pointing out that someone else alleged that the engineer’s report stated that the landfill would definitely pollute the Rappahannock River with leachate, Mr. Miller sought an explantation from Mr. Joyce. The consultant assured the board that no such statement was included in the report. ‘There is nothing in the report that says it will pollute the groundwater.” John McCarthy echoed Mr. Joyce’s assurance. “There’s nothing like that in the report,” the administrative assistant told the board. Mr. Miller asked again, did the engineer have any nugor concerns about this site? Is there any reason to believe that developing it will be economically unfeasible, as its opponents have suggested? “In looking at the whole picture — over the last nine months — after reviewing the geological and engineering reports with the Department of Waste Management, I have received their approval, their concurrence that the site is suitable. It will be designed, constructed and operated in concordance with their require-, ments. Based on the above, it’s a good site,” Mr. Joyce told the board. “There is nothing specific to this site which is going to cause a major stumbling block?” Mr. Lane asked. “Not to our knowledge,” Mr. Joyce replied. How about the allegations that Vir? ginia’s regulations are backward, Mr, Lane continued. The Department of Waste Manage* ment is in the midst of drafting a new set of regulations which should become law next spring, Mr. Joyce told him. And the Federal Environmental Protection Agency has new Title D regulations for sanitary landfills which also take effect next spring. He did caution the supervisors that “As far as final regs, we’ve not been able to determine from converse-; tions what the final regs will be.” Mr. Miller asked if anything could be done which would lower the cost of the facility. “If we had another site, would it be (See PURCHASE, p.18) Amendment re c ommended By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “They just voted ‘yes’ for open mindedness,” said environmental consultant Larry Silverman, as the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners endorsed a comprehensive plan amendment which recognizes the Stover tract as a “potential” site for the county’s sanitary landfill. But while Mr. Silverman saw cause for optimism with the inclusion of the word “potential", others who asked for the amendment to be summarily rejected left last Wednesday’s public hearing disappointed. Opponents of the proposal for locating a solid waste disposal facility near the village of Amissville insisted that it will pose a contamination threat to private wells nearby, create a safety hazard of explosions from the methane gas produced by decomposing ■ quality of nearby streams, the Rappahannock River two miles away and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. In addition, they charged that the geotechnical study done on the site by Joyce Engineering is incomplete and seriously flawed. Lorraine Early, leader of a citizens group fighting the Stover landfill proposal, maintained that the$450,000 allocated by the Board of Supervisors for the establishment of a solid waste disposal facility is insufficient. Once the cost of the land and the engineering work is deducted, $200,000 will be left, she noted. “There’s no way a site can be developed for that amount.” The proposed ridge-top location on the 99-acre tract is “the second highest point in Amissville,” Mrs. Early said. “All the water will sink to the lowest point,” contaminating private wells in the four miles between the Rappahannock Ne ws phofcVLoii 1_ MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING Comiiflssiaft and the Boarftbf'Stipervisors listen to the concerns of Amissville residents during last week's public hearing, landfill and the village, she said. She noted that the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the area along Route 211 between the town of Washington and the Shade Road as the only section of the county with mixed commercial, residential and public facility uses and called on the board to follow the plan’s recommendation for locating new public facilities in that same area. “You have the power of eminent domain,” she reminded the supervisors who sat with the planning commissioners at the joint public hearing. Cathleen Shiff insisted that the geotechnical report filed by Joyce Engineering admits that the wrong quadrangle map was used. “That is not acceptable. It’s like having e Chevy to fix and using a Ford manual." The proper map for the Jeffersonton quadrangle was last updated in 1983 while the Massie’s Corner quadrangle map,used by the engineers has not been updated since 1977, she said. “That’s like fixing an ‘87 Ford with a ‘66 Chevy manual.” The report describes the site as having “good potential,” she continued. “That’s like saying ‘somewhat nice.’ It says ‘good potential’ and that is it,” Ms. Shift complained, adding that the taxpayers and the supervisors deserved better information on a potential landfill site. (See HEARING, p. 16) Stale solid waste director to address RLEP Garbage, that formerly most ignoble of topics, has hit the big time this year. With more communities struggling to find a place to put it, trash is a hot topic across the nation. With the costs of disposal rapidly rising, it’s become big business as well. It’s the subject of network news, prime-time television and grass-roots meetings around the country. The rejected refuse of the millions, known more politely as “municipal solid waste,” has also become a political hot potato in Rappahannock, the Bronx and elsewhere. Signed up to address the refuseproducing populace of Rappahannock County on Monday evening is Cynthia V. Bailey, executive director of Virginia’s Department of Waste Management. She is the top official in the Commonwealth in charge of policies for managing solid . $• •v-:' CYNTHIA V. BAILEY waste: municipal, hazardous and nuclear. Ms. Bailey will speak on “The Solid Waste Crisis in Virginia” at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock Elementary School. Her appearance is being sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection as a public service. The meeting is free and open to the public. Ms. Bailey, who is also well acquainted with Rappahannock’s landfill crisis and the county’s application for a new landfill site east of Amissville, will answer questions from the audience following her remarks. In addition to her familiarity with landfills, groundwater protection and current efforts by her department to overhaul Virginia’s solid waste regulations, Ms. Bailey is well-qualified to discuss some of the many alternative methods of waste management being employed in Virginia and elsewhere. Ms. Bailey is well-qualiiied to address the gamut of questions on this critical problem. She was previously an assistant attorney general for Virginia, serving as counsel to the State Board of Health, Health Commissioner and the State Department of Health on environmental matters. She has degrees from the University of Richmond School of Law, the Medical College of Virginia and the College of William and Mary. RLEP has taken an active interest in the county’s landfill situation since 1984, addressing the problem in its newsletter and assisting community groups concerned about potential sites. The site for RLEP’s meeting was changed to the elementary school to accommodate the expected audience. Alternatives: Choices include recyclings resource recovery and regionalization By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer With space in existing landfills rapidly disappearing and new landfills more expensive to develop, operate and close, local governments are taking a closer look at alternatives. But alternative technologies bring new problems along with their new solutions, according to Cynthia V. Bailey, executive director of Virginia’s Department of Waste Management. Resource recovery facilities, mass-burn operations which bum huge amounts of garbage as fuel in a power plant, turn waste to energy. The United States now bums about five percent of its garbage in energy recovery plants and that figure is likely to rise to 18 percent or so in the next three years and could total 40 percent by the end of the century. “But resource recovery is not feasible for many Virginia localities,” Ms. Bailey noted. Such an operation requires not only huge amounts of garbage and a market for the power produced; it takes a tremendous capital investment compounded by already stringent anti-pollution standards which will only get tighter. The North Andover, Mass., plant built two years ago cost $196 million and financial experts put the present costs of a large waste-to-energy facility at $400 million. “The financing takes a long time to arrange,” said Ms. Bailey, projecting that it would take three years to get operating a small incinerator capable of handling 350 tons per day and three to five years for a large plant with a capacity of 1,500 tons per day. “I don’t know what’s going to happen on Capitol H01,” she told an audience of local government officials at a conference this month in Charlottesville, adding that federal regulations may put ash from the incinerators of resource recovery facilities in the category of hazardous waste. Although she questioned the accuracy of data compiled by the Environmental Defense Fund which shows such ash to be dangerously high in cadmium and lead, Ms. Bailey agreed that if the permissible levels of the two heavy metals are exceeded, then municipal incinerator ash should be disposed of in “monofills... by itself.” Ash disposal is “an economic rather than an environmental issue,” she maintained. “I think it can be managed safely but it may cost you more money (if it’s classified as a hazardous waste).” Ms. Bailey sees recycling as a more viable statewide solution to part of the solid waste problem. But the biggest problem here is with public acceptance, she noted. Many think of recycling as an ecological term left over from the 1960s - “peace, love and recycling” - and just about as out-of-date as love beads and peace signs, Ms. Bailey said. In (See ALTERNATIVES, p. 17) Budget approved; ordinance tabled After receiving answers to questions about the proposed capital improvement budget, Washington’s Town Council approved the measure at its meeting last Wednesday. Evelyn Willis asked for explanations of the categories for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, a total of $10,000, and the Superintendent’s office. Treasurer Brad Fisher replied that the Superintendent’s expenditure would be for the establishment of an office for himself as the Water Department’s superintendent. The fire department’s $4,000 contribution will be made through requisitions for specific items submitted to and approved by the council, he added. An additional $6,000 has been set aside to upgrade parts of the water system, such as hydrants and their supply lines, which directly apply to fire protection. Mayor Dean Morehouse requested, and received, the council’s assurances that it does not intend to exercise any direct control over the operations of the fire department. Nan Thomasson questioned the $2,000 category for lighting, and Mr. Fisher explained that is the cost to the town to purchase power from Potomac Edison to (See COUNCIL, p. 18) Who owns sidewalks?

In response to complaints about the deteriorating condition of the steps, the Board of Supervisors was considering having repairs made when the Washington Town Council intervened. “I had been told the town owned the sidewalks but that the county was responsible for maintaining the sidewalks around the courthouse,” Clerk Diane Bruce explained to the supervisors at their September meeting. “It was another of those nebulous agreements that have been made over the years and never written down anywhere.” But when news of the board’s plans leaked out, “we got word from the council that they had a man on staff fulltime and that he would do it because they owned the sidewalks,” Ms. Bruce added. A logical approach would be for the county to maintain the sidewalks inside the fence around the courthouse quadrangle and for the town to maintain (See SIDEWALKS, p. 10)

Logging operation diverts river flow „ By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer Near its headwaters at Chester Gap, the Rappahannock River is perhaps two feet wide and less than one foot deep. It’s more a creek than a river, overhung with trees and vines, gurgling over rocks smoothed by countless years and countless gallons of water. It bears no resemblance to the mighty river which flows past Fredericksburg and points east on the way to its confluence with the Chesapeake Bay. When the General Assembly designated the Rappahannock as a state scenic river, there were probably few legislators who had in mind its source at the foot of Chester Gap. Indeed, the most noteworthy thing about the river at that point is that it serves as the boundary between Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. I hat source is threatened, according to Mac McGrail, who owns land on both sides of the river at the end of Route 632, at the base of Chester Gap. Tom Jenkins, one of Mr. McGraiPs neighbors, has contracted with Blue Ridge Lumber Co. of Fishersville to log part of a 642acre tract he owns adjacent to Mr. McGrail’s property on the Fauquier side. To gain access to the property, vehicles must cross the Rappahannock River. There’s no bridge. For a distance of about 80 feet, the riverbed actually serves as the road, Mr. McGrail said, and property owners have been using the ford for years. As with similar crossings elsewhere in the county, over time the dirt has washed away, leaving a hardpacked rock bottom over which the vehicles travel. That is, until the logging operation arrived, Mr. McGrail said. To make it easier for the giant flatbed tractor-trailers, skidders and other equipment to get in and out, the loggers widened what was, according to Mr. McGrail, a dirt path about eight feet wide to twice that width. Then, a bulldozer was used to scrape the streambed into a berm which diverted the flow of the river from the roadbed to a channel alongside the road, separated by a waisthigh wall of dirt and rock. Instead of flowing in the roadway, the river was channeled to cross it at a right angle at a point about 75 feet downstream. On Friday afternoon, the fruits of that labor were obvious. The heavy rains over the Labor Day weekend had turned the freshly scraped dirt into a.muddy morass, the numerous ruts already filled with ankle-deep brown water.

A dirt berm at center diverted the stream to a channel on the right. It now crosses the road at the top left of the photo. According to Mr. Neal, the mud in the road is caused by the road being a natural sump. the river rose, it also washed away the downstream end of the berm as the creek sought its former channel. As Mr. McGrail talked, a flatbed truck left the property with a load of trees. Piled high on the trailer, the timber gouged several overhanging branches as the truck labored through the muck, splashing mud and water on both sides. It crept along at a snail’s pace, taking nearly five minutes to negotiate the 100foot stretch of road, the diesel engine growling in low gear as it pulled its heavy load through the clinging muck. In its wake, the truck left muddy puddles which quickly drained, and brown water laden with silt flowed downstream, turning crystal-clear pools into settling ponds for the displaced dirt. Mr. McGrail pointed out the obvious; the silt which was deposited downstream was unnatural and therefore did not belong in the river. “People will say, ‘Hey, McGrail, you’re crying wolf. It’s a little stinky stream and who cares.’ It doesn’t make any difference. I’ve protected it on my property for 20 years — the state legislature wanted it protected when they passed scenic river legislation. I don’t care if it’s a bucket of dirt, a gallon of dirt or this entire berm washing downstream. It does not belong in that creek. “And,” Mr. McGrail added, “it; would not have been there if this man hadn’t tampered with it.” AM1S6V1LLE BEAUTY BOUTIQUE announces 20% discount on all perms, shampoo and sets and haircuts Ear Piercing Offer good now through Sept. 30th ALSO INTRODUCING < < < < < < < < < Patricia Milner & Brenda Henslev By appointment or walk-ins welcomed Featuring Unisex Styling and Precision Cutting Tuesday 9 a.m- 6 pin.

Additional information will be available on the day of the sale or by calling VDOT at (703) 825-8300. Apparently, the state agrees with Mr. McGrail. William Neal, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries’ environmental officer, visited the site Friday and conferred with representatives of Blue Ridge Lumber Co. As a result of that meeting, the timber company has agreed to restore the stream to its natural channel. The berms which had been pushed up on both sides of the roadway will be scraped back down into the riverbed and repacked. In addition, both approaches to the river will be protected with armorstone, Mr. Neal said, and the armorstone is to be reapplied as needed to protect the river from siltation. “The bottom line is that my agency intends to protect that scenic river.” Mr. Neal said Monday during a telephone interview from his Richmond office that he had become involved because the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries was named state administering agency when the legislature designated the Rappahannock as a state scenic river. The scenic river legislation, however, played no part in the resolution of the dispute, he added. “The fact that it was scenic drew our attention to it. There are no teeth in the scenic river law. It simply says that certain rivers can be designated scenic — then no one can interfere with the flow without legislative approval. “Other laws,” Mr. Neal continued, “protect all rivers from degradation.” Those laws, he explained, prohibit throwing trash or any debris into streams, obstructing or diverting a streambed, or altering a stream bottom without state approval. That’s where the logging operation ran into problems: the diversion and resulting siltation was a violation of the state code, Mr. Neal said. Tom Sheets, a partner in Blue Ridge Timber Co., said Tuesday in a telephone interview that “we’re going to abide by the decision of Mr. Neal and the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. We expect and fully intend to comply with the law.” Beyond that, Mr. Sheets refused to comment on the situation. He declined to provide a timeframe for the restoration of the riverbed. “I’d just as soon not get into all this — we don’t feel it’s a public forum. We’d just as soon deal with them (the state officials).” Mr. Neal stressed that the state has no power to stop the logging operation from driving heavy vehicles across the stream as long as they use a recognized ford. “The state law does not — and rightly so — give regulatory authority over the type and weight of vehicles” using the ford, Mr. Neal said. “The whole thing in a nutshell is that it’s a recognized fording area. Logging trucks have as much right to use it as anyone else.” Mr. Neal added that “I do not feel that it was intentional that they set out to violate the law in building a road to get to the timber.” Will the damage done by the logging operation be put right by the measures agreed to at Friday’s meeting? Mr. Neal said that “if the company does what they agreed to, the damage will be kept to a minimum.” He noted that the river had begun to repair itself during the heavy rains last weekend; that part. of the berm had washed out even before his department ordered it tom out. He predicted the natural repair would continue each time it rains and the river comes up. He acknowledged that the heavy trucks could continue to cause damage to the streambed, but emphasized again that the state has no power to bar their use of the crossing. Mr. McGrail was less sure of the healing process. “Every time it sprinkles, you can see what will happen,” he said, pointing to the muddy puddles in the road. “All this silt will end up in the river . . . This will not clean up, as long as this operation continues up here. “His putting it back in “the way he took it out’ is not going to happen.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17,1987 Editorial Foundations of freedom Today, the Republic celebrates the 200th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution, the document which sets forth the principles from which our liberties flow. It’s a proper time for celebration, and undoubtedly much will be made of the hoopla and hyperbole which has surrounded the plans for the commemoration during the last year. Remember the birthday party thrown for the Statue of Liberty? It appears that the Constitution’s bicentennial birthday will be honored by a somewhat less gaudy display. This . milestone should be a time for reflection, as well as celebration. The years have been good to the Constitution, but it continues to find itself attacked by all manner of enemies. Some would chip away little bits, perhaps in hopes that no one will notice. Others propose a wholesale revision, a remake which would leave it more in keeping with their own narrow view of the way things should be. Both types of efforts should be fought off with all the strength that freedom-loving Americans can muster. For no matter how small the changes may be, the analogy can be drawn to the erosion of a beach. Once it begins, it usually continues at a faster pace. And it gets worse before it gets better. Some would say that we need a Constitutional Convention to enact, perhaps, a balanced budget amendment. But who’s to guarantee that is the only change they have in mind? Or maybe others would use the occasion to insert some pet idea of their own. % * Tba Constitution is not perfect. It has faults, and maybe ' some of them do indeed need to be remedied. But the _ document has served the country well for 200 years. We think that a lot of hard thought about what direction this framework of the principles of freedom should take as it begins its third century ought to go into any plans to alter it. For today, we suggest reflection and thanksgiving for the 200 years of unique freedoms which the Constitution has provided for the citizens of the United States of America. Happy Birthday, and many happy returns! Loggers (Continued from Page 3) You can’t rebuild a creek like that by taking a bulldozer and pushing a bunch of dirt and big rocks back in the creekbed. It doesn’t happen,” Mr. McGrail contended. “When we had the natural riverbed, you could drive your cars through it and it didn’t silt up behind you. I really don’t understand why he did this. If he’d have left the damn thing alone, and driven his trucks over it like it was, he’d be far, far ahead of where he is now with this siltation problem. “Granted, at this point, what do you do? You pull your hair out and say ‘what’s the best we can do?’ Well, we have to try and rebuild it . . . and that’s what he’s agreed to do.That’s all you can say.” His chief complaint, he said, was the lack of environmental controls on the operation. “I don’t care,” Mr. McGrail said, “if the man gets punished or not. I just want to know that you can still drink the water.” Mr. McGrail said that before the timber was sold Mr. Jenkins called him and asked for a right-of-way to the property. He said that he agreed, provided Mr. Jenkins grant him three conditions: (1) a 200-foot scenic easement alpng the creek along the east side of the timber cut to prevent erosion from the logging operation from washing into the creek; (2) post a bond of $2,000 for a period of four years in a local bank, in an account under his control, for the maintenance of environmental runoff barriers, such as haybales, on direct watersheds between the logging and the river; and (3) reinforce state Route 632 with heavy rock to keep the flatbed logging trucks from tearing up the roadbed. In return for those concessions, Mr. McGrail said, he was prepared to grant Mr. Jenkins a permanent, deeded easement to him, his family and heirs for “personal, family-type traffic;” and a one-year easement at a mutually agreed-upon place to get the timber out, “where it wouldn’t tear things up.” The agreement was never negotiated, Mr. McGrail said. Mr. Jenkins confirmed that he had spoken with Mr. McGrail about his request for a scenic easement, but said that he and his brother, who also has an interest in the land, had not gotten together to speak again about the easement. He said that Mr. McGrail’s suggestion was the first he had heard of the idea, adding that he already has a right-of-way to the property. Mr. Jenkins also disagreed with Mr. McGrail’s characterization of the crossing as a ford. He said that following heavy rains last year, parts of Route 632 were washed out, and a portion of the river diverted naturally and began flowing down through his road, creating a double channel and encroaching on his property. He said that he had not been up to see the property since the logging began, “but if what I think happened, they just corrected the course from the storm.” The road had sunk from years of use, making it a low spot in relation to the river. “I guess they just built it up.” He added that he plans to visit the property this weekend, and hoped that would give him a better idea of what had happened. “What it comes down to,” Mr. McGrail concluded, “is that I’ve protected it when I’ve owned it; the state passed legislation and they should protect it.” The motive is not money, Mr. McGrail stressed. “I’ve got no axe to grind with Tom Jenkins. I just want what I took care of for 20 years to be taken care of by someone else — and it’s not happening.” He added that the state officials “have gone out of their way” to assist with the problem, and assured him that they will monitor the situation to be sure it is corrected. “I just don’t think they have any authority.” For his part, Mr. McGrail concluded, he has decided that litigation against Mr. Jenkins may be the only way to stop the operation. “I just don’t think that putting it back is going to solve the problem; or continuing to drive trucks up and down, especially if they just put all this loose (dirt) back in here again. I think that the thing for me to do is to try and attempt to stop it.” I—Rappahannock Heritage— Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan HEAVY WITH AGE, the doors and access windows on this bam are long since out of true. T Letters to the editor The lottery supported To the editor: The lottery referendum is a question of choice. Do Virginians want to play a lottery game and raise $200 million dollars for the state at the same time? The money will likely go for programs such as education, senior citizens, law enforcement, among others. Once Virginia has a lottery, it’s the choice of the individuals if they want to play. I find it interesting that the top individual of one of the anti-lottery gm*ps makes more than a million iollar* a yaw, yat he says we shouldn’t be allowed to play a lottery. If I made a million dollars a year, I probably wouldn’t want to play the lottery either. These anti-lottery groups have created all sorts of “bogy man” stories in an effort to confbse the basic issue that the lottery is a question of choice. There are some facts you should know about the lottery before you vote Nov. 3 to make your choice on the issue. A lottery does not promote gambling. According to the Senate Finance Committee report that resulted from intense study of the lottery question, “What we do know is that numbers operations exist in all the cities and counties surveyed and in six of seven localities, illegal numbers is identified as an enforcement problem. Only FairfaxAJounty reported little or no numbers actor- „ ity. In Fairfax, the Vice/Narcotics Division commander links the almost nonexistence of numbers to potential players’ easy access to the Maryland and D.C. lotteries.” A Virginia lottery will help keep dollars in Virginia instead of being spent on out of state lotteries. Each year millions of Virginia dollars are being spent in Maryland, Washington and West Virginia on their lotteries. These are dollars Virginia should be reaping, not some other jurisdiction. According to a Maryland lottery official and highlighted by a recent Washington Post article, $77,000 is spent every week in Colonial Beach on Maryland lottery tickets. A lottery will not teach children to throw money away. The lottery legislation prohibits advertising that promotes the lottery. The Virginia Education Association has endorsed the lottery. These are people whose . .slogan is “We Teach the Children.” The lottery will be a weir managed department of the state that is protected with adequate security safeguards to keep its integrity beyond reproach. The lottery will go through annual audits, all key lottery department personnel must pass tough background checks by the State Police, and before a lottery ticket vendor gets a license he must pass a background screening. Only people with good standing in the business community will be selling lottery tickets. The tradition of a lottery in Virginia runs deep. It goes back to the founding of Jamestown which was financed by a lottery. Lotteries helped establish the College of William and Mary and many other landmarks in the Commonwealth. George Washington is known to have bought one of the first tickets in a Washington, D.C., lottery. Thomas Jefferson said, “A lottery is a wonderful thing; it lays taxati&n only on the willing.” A lottery will be good for Virginia and I encourage people to vote “YES” on Nov. 3. LANDON TAYLOR Co-Chairman Virginians for the Lottery Constitution forged from a difficult beginning By SALLY ANN BOARD and HELEN FAIRFAX Rappahannock News Contributing Writers The Minute Men Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties is asking their communities to join with them in observing Constitution Week from Sept. 17 through Sept. 23. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America. The independence granted to the American people by this document enables us to ei\joy freedom and liberty unknown to people of any other country. The Constitution was drafted Sept. 17, 1787, was ratified June 21, 1788, and went into effect March 4, 1789. In May of 1787, 55 men representing 12 of the original colonies met in Philadelphia at a convention called by Congress in order to write a document that would make for a stronger, more efficient government than had existed under the Articles of Confederation. Enacted just after the Revolutionary War in 1781, that document had given the individual states too much power and the Confederation too little (or so some of the delegates thought). There was no President, and there Was lawlessness and discontent throughout the new nation. Among the representatives from Virginia were James Madison, George Washington and John Blair, signed into law Dy ay oi tne 4Z representatives still remaining at the convention. We owe a debt of gratitude to these men who were farsighted and wise, who persevered until they presented our country with a document that “guarantees the blessings of liberty” for all citizens in this great land of ours. Upon these principles rest the very foundation of our government. Our Constitution has become a model for many other newer democracies. Indeed, it is the oldest written Constitution still in use in the world. On Jan. 5, 1958, Senator William Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan PROCLAIMING CONSTITUTION WEEK, Washington’s Mayor Dean Morehouse signs the document. Regent of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR Mrs. Helen Fairfax, left, and Vice-Regent Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer witness the ceremony. F. Knowland introduced the following joint Resolution 105: “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the President of the United States is authorized and requested to designate the period beginning Sept. 17 and ending Sept. 23 of each year as Constitution Week, and to issue a proclamation inviting people of the United States to observe such week in schools, churches and other suitable places with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” This Resolution was adopted July 23, 1956, and signed into law (Public Law No. 915) Aug. 2,1956. The mayors of towns in Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties are signing similar proclamations at the request of the DAR Chapter. In doing so, they urge all citizens to protect and defend our Constitution and to preserve it for posterity. Special displays will be set up in libraries, schools, and other public buildings. Spot announcements in schools and on radio will remind us that our Constitution is the foundation of our lives and our great heritage, the safeguard of all our iiuci uco, «xuu ciicunpion oi our ireedoms. _ We salute the signers of the Constitution and commemorate this week, the 200th anniversary of its signing, with pride and honor. The Constitution unites our country. Fly your flag in its honor. We are also asking that all church bells, and other bells, be rung on the 17th for 200 times at exactly 4 o’clock. Mrs. Board is chairman of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter’s Constitutwn Bicentennial Committee and Mrs. Fairfax is the Chapter’s Regent.

Keim when they purchased 150 acres of rolling land near Viewtown in 1960. However, in the back of their minds was the possibility of the establishment of an enterprise which would supplement their retirement income in the future. Consequently, the idea of raising Christmas trees developed, and today 38,000 conifers grace the hillsides, using only 23 acres of the land. About 300 of the trees will be marketable this year. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 21, 1972, edition Maurice L. Butler, a member of the D.C.

Maybe autumn won't come this year." What a silly fear! I reassured him. Of course autumn will come after summer; it always does. The changing of the seasons is an event that we can always count on." God is the reason that fall and winIter, spring and summer always come. I explained. "God set certain „ laws into effect when he created the world God is faithful to his creation.” My son was satisfied, but I kept thinking about how no one ever doubts the changing of the seasons Seeing the faithfulness of God in creation tells me something about his nature. It reassures me that God is faithful to his promises to me in the 1 Bible God will do what he has said ft To know what God has said. I i turned to the Bible Natures' picture f ot God s faithfulness was written out 4 in these words: I "Because ol the Lord's great love we are not consumed, tor his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22) Every family needs this kind of solid reality in their lives to give meaning and strength in today's difficult times.

Soybeans are ancient protein source By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extcanoa Agent, Hotm Economics Soybeans have been used as a food source for thousands of years. Research indicates that Chinese records show that this valuable protein-rich food source was used for food as early as 2838 BC. The soybeari, an annual legume, is one of the best sources of vegetable protein. In its dry state, 40 percent of its weight comes from protein. After cooking, 11 percent of the weight comes from protein. Onethird of the daily recommended allowance of protein can be found in one cup of cooked soybeans* Some research has shown that soy protein can significantly reduce blood levels of cholesterol in people having genetically high cholesterol levels and a high risk of developing heart disease. One of the most common forms of soy protein found cm the market today is soy flour. It can be used to replace part of the wheat flour in many baked products. Soy flour should always be sifted prior to measuring because this type of flour varies greatly in its tendency to pack. Soy grits are also available. The wnger difference between this form and soy floor is the granulation size. Softened grits may be used in ground meats as an extender, in soups, and as a nut replacement in cookies and cakes. Apple Crisp 4 cups diced apples 3/4 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 cup brown sugar 2/3 cup soy flour (any type) 1/4 cup butter Combine sliced apples, sugar and cinnamon and place in a shallow greased pan. Mix brown sugar and flour and work in butter until a crumbly mixture is formed. Sprinkle this mixtime over the apples. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Stuffed Green Peppers 6 medium sized green peppers 2 cups flaky cooked rice 1/2 cup soy grits, mixed with 1 :up tomato juice 1/4 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped parsley 2 T. chopped onion VAT. salt Slice top off peppers and remove seed and inside membranes. Rinse with cold water and let drain on tow els. Combine other ingredients and stuff peppers. Place in pan with a little water and bake at 360 degrees F. for about 30 minutes or until lightly brown. Dried soybeans are used in the same manner as other dried beans. Any variety of soybeans may be used in cooking. Overnight soaking is the first step in dry soybeans (use three cups of water to one cup of dry beans). During the soaking and cooking process, beans will increase in size 2*4 to 3 times. Before cooking, drain beans and replace with fresh water, using 6 cups of fresh water with 2 teaspoons of salt for 1 cup soaked and drained beans. Cook for IV2 to 2 hours.

C<fok salt pork in a frying pan until delicately browned. Add melted fat to beans and place diced salt pork on top. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Roasted soybeans makes a nutritious snack. Soak for 8 to 10 hours, drain, and spread to air dry for an hour or so before roasting. Roasted Soybeans Roasted soybeans make ideal snacks. Almost any vegetable or field variety is acceptable for roasting. The beans should be washed, soaked for 8 to 10 hours, drained and spread to air dry for an hour prior to roasting. Deep fat roasting: Place one cup of beans in frying basket and cook 8 to 10 minutes in deep fat at 350 degrees F. or until the beans are crisp and the color of roasted peanuts. Plain or seasoned salt may be added when the beans are removed from the fat. Drained soybeans should be stored in airtight containers. Oven roasting: Soak beans 8 to 10 hours in salted water (use 1 teaspoon, salt per quart of water). The beans should be drained, air dried and spread into a shallow pan. Roast in oven at 450 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until brown. Stir frequently during the roasting process. (Plain or seasoned salt may be used in the soaking water.) Yield: 1 cup unsoaked soybeans equal 2 Vi to 3 cups soaked soybeans equal 1 3/4 cups roasted soybeans. Soybean Brittle Mix 2 cups granulated sugar and about 1/3 cup water in an iron skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and brown to amber color. Add unsalted roasted soybeans and pour at once onto an oiled surface (cookie sheet or cake pan). Let the mixture spread quickly to about 1/4 inch thickness. Break into pieces when cooled. Sidewalks (Continued from Page 1) those outside the fence, interjected Supervisor A1 Henry. “We had a verbal agreement years and years ago,” reported Supervisor Newbill Miller, the former mayor of the town. “The sidewalks from the county agent’s office to the jail were the county’s responsibility. It was done because the town didn’t have any money at the time, but now they do.” “They collect taxes, they have an Architectural Review Board. If they want to pick out the color of the bricks, let them take care of the sidewalks,” Supervisor Henry insisted. vvuuevei uucs it, tue county or the town, "the steps should be fixed,” stressed Supervisor Charles Estes, adding that the argument will be over who’s liable should someone be injured in a fall. "Let the sidewalks be the town’s responsibility,” said Mr. Henry, offering a motion to that effect, immediately seconded by Supervisor Nelson Lane. “Wait a minute,” injected Mr. Miller, before a vote could be taken. “Maybe Hubie (Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey) could meet with the council to see if we can work this out amicably. Let’s consult with the town before we abandon this long term verbal agreement.” Mr. Henry withdrew his motion; Mr. Gilkey agreed to contact the Town Council and bring back a report to the board’s special session on Sept. 14. “Let’s not take any action until after that meeting,” Mr. Miller repeated. His fellow supervisors agreed. PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN. High Mood pressure can be oocurolled. 1b !«n> how. call us.

Rappahannock J our nal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Heart Assn, sets Food Festival By DORIS DONALD RapiMluuinock New* Contributing Writer American’s Heart Food Festival, a week-long event, began Sunday, Sept. 13 and ends on Saturday, Sept. 19. This American Heart Association program was developed to focus public attention on the benefits of low-fat eating and heart health. The Food Festival is an educational event to promote “help your heart” eating. Heart and blood vessel diseases kill hiore people in this country than any other cause of death. Scientists have demonstrated that the typical American diet, high in cholestrol and saturated fat, contributes to high blood cholestrol, a major risk factor in heart disease. When the body accumulates too much fat and cholestrol, some of this excess may form “plaque” in the walls of the arteries. If this progresses, over the years an artery can become completely clogged with fats, cholestrol and other debris. If the artery supplies the heart, a heart attack can result; if it supplies the brain, a stroke can occur. The United States has one of the highest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world. The American diet is so rich in saturated or animal fats that even children show evidence of high blood cholestrol. By their mid die years, most Americans have accumulated so much plaque in their arteries that they are candidates for heart and blood vessel diseases. Lowering the levels of cholestrol 1 and saturated fat in the diet can re- 1 duce one of the risks of coronary dis- 1 ease. Two local grocers who have agreed to participate in the Food Festival are Randolph Clater of Sperryville Comer Store and Wilson Burke at the Flint Hill Store. During this week, these stores will have available informative materials provided for this event.

The presentor was Helen Blackwell of Arlington, who is Chairman of the Virginia Eagle Forum, a national lobby group formed by Phyllis Schlafly. The Forum took as its project the prepara- s tion of this detailed set of slides showing the reasons why the Constitution was necessary and why it has lasted for 200 years. It consists of 60 color slides of the Constitution and historic places, people and events. It has a carefully researched script which is narrated along with the slides. Mrs. Blackwell, who is a native of Louisiana, but has her DAR ancestry in Rockbridge County, Virginia, now lives in Arlington and also has a weekend home in Criglersville in Madison County. She explained how the ‘We, the People” slide program focuses on these important aspects of the constitution: Why the Constition is the fountainhead of our great religious, political and economic liberties; How the Constitution developed from the Declaration of Independence and articles of the Confederation; Who were the writers of the Constitution and what ideas they brought to Philadelphia that hot summer in 1787?; What are the basic principles embodied in the Constitution, such as the sovereignty of “We, the People” anfWhe Separation of Powers; How the executive, legislative aid judicial branches are separated ret function together; How our constitutional govemnent differs from the parliamentary (ystem; How the Constitution laid the bundation for our free and prosper>us economy; How the Bill of Rights was added ;o the Constitution to guarantee our ndividual freedoms of religion, speech, press and property. In the business part of the meeting, presided over by Helen Fairfax, Regent plans were made for a bus trip to Philadelphia on October 9. The bus will leave from the Culpeper Baptist church parking lot at 6:30 a.m. (everyone should bring a sandwich). From 12 to 5 p.m., those who go will have free time in Philadelphia to visit Independence Hall, Visitors Center, Christ Church, the Liberty Bell, Home of Betsy Ross, etc., ending with dinner at the Old Original Bookbinders Restaurant. The cost is $30, on a first-come, first-served basis. Checks should be sent immediately to Agnes Puryear, Box 346, Madison, Va. 22727, telephone 948-4382. First preference will be given to members of the DAR. Mrs. John S. Board, Chairman for “Constitution Week” Sept. 17-23, reported on activities which will be going on that week. On the afternoon of Sept. 17 at exactly 4 p.mM all church bells and others with bells are being asked to ring them for 200 seconds, signifying the 200 years on that date since the Constitution was signed.

Wakefield Coach Uli Maeyer said that he is proud of the results of Saturday’s tournament, especially since three-fourths of last year’s varsity team were graduated in June.

School Delayed opening policy adopted by schools Finding unanimous agreement among the members of the board, Dr. David Gangel’s recommendation that Rappahannock adopt a lateopening policy to minimize lost days for snow was approved easily at last Wednesday’s meeting. The superintendent said that he had researched the late opening policies used by neighboring school districts, which use either a one or twohour delay. He explained that he favored a two-hour delay, since “one hour is not going to get us much at all. With the terrain we have that won’t make much difference. The sun won’t hit the bad spots for at least two hours.” He said that he had consulted with the faculties and cafeteria staff at both schools and they felt the schedule could be adjusted without difficulty. With the delayed opening policy in effect, the first three periods at the high school would be cut to 20 minutes each, Dr. Gangel told the board, while the entire day at RCES would be “condensed,” with class times shortened equally. The difference, he added, is necessary because elementary students don’t change classrooms. In addition, the first bus would not run for Rappahannock students attending Piedmont VoTech in Culpeper. “Is it the board’s pleasure that it be done on a trial basis?” Dr. Gangel asked. “Make it part of policy,” replied Bryant Lee. “It works well in other school districts.” “We can change it if it doesn’t work,” agreed Bill Oliver. Decisions on delayed opening will be made by 5:30 a.m., and will be announced over area radio stations. Dr. Gangel added that the same telephone tree which is in effect for snow days will be used for days when opening is delayed. Chairman Beverly Massie reminded the members that the School Board’s policy is that on days when school is cancelled or dismissed early, board meetings are cancelled as well. The board’s regular meeting on Tuesday was postponed until Wednesday when the first day of school ended early because of potential flooding after the weekend’s heavy rains. Asbestos situation in hand Dr. Gangel assured the board that “we’re in good shape, there is no danger” to students or faculty from two pipe elbow joints insulated with an asbestos compound which were discovered by construction workers above drop ceilings in the high school. He said that both joints had been encapsulated: wrapped with a polyethelene tape and painted with an acrylic sealer. Several private firms with licenses to deal with the carcinogenic substance, as well as the state Air Quality Control Board, assured the school administrators that was the proper course to follow. In the past, several other joints insulated with asbestos had been found, Dr. Gangel said, and they had also been sealed. Arrangements will be made to have another survey done of both schools to make sure that there are no other areas where an undiscovered exposure exists, he told the board. It is possible, the superintendent said, that additional asbestos may be Real Estate f=> Eileen M. Day realtor : sst^sp, “CAVEAT EMPTOR”?— NOT TODAY If you buy an old overcoat in a used clothing store and the sales slip states “Sold As-Is”, you’ve bought it moth holes and all, right? Well, maybe. This legal principle of “caveat emptor” (let the buyer beware) is dead or dying. We are living in an age of consumerism and it’s hard to find a court that won’t favor the buyer in a dispute. In fact, consumer groups and many government agencies are taking the posture that the seller must disclose everything. If you have a problem in your home, don’t mask it. A common example is the homeowner who spray paints a ceiling to cover water stains caused by a leaking roof. If you have a problem that you don’t intend to correct, be candid about it. Sure, some people will be turned off by it, but the serious buyer will be understanding about a problem openly displayed, Usually, they will discount the price by far less than the cost of repair.. .and a whole lot less than a day in court would cost.

But, after heavy rains turned the area into a muddy quagmire, Dr. Gangel told the board that another solution would have to be found. Several cars got stuck on Tuesday, and the situation can only be expected to worsen, Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell added, with sporting events and extra-curricular activities requiring even more parking area than that used during school hours. Dr. Gangel said that he had explored the possibility of grading the area between the baseball field and the track, but was given a price tag of $40,000 for the job, and “we don’t have near those resources.” He pointed out that the budget contains just $2,000 for parking lot maintenance and improvements for RCHS, RCES and the School Board office. He said that the financial constraints almost dictate that the parking remain where it is now, and that he will meet with an expert to get a recommendation on the best type of gravel to get and how it should be applied. Several board members questioned restrictions on students driving to school, such as seniors only. Mr. Chappell pointed out that such a rule would impose hardships on students who work or play sports after school. “Our commitment to transportation is always an issue,” Nancy Reeve said. She suggested that the Department of Transportation be contacted to see if it can provide any assistance “within its guidelines.” “It doesn’t hurt to ask,” Mrs. Massie agreed. She proposed that the situation be left to the administration, and that any decision, including restrictions, be postponed until Dr. Gangel has received the expert assessment. Outlay project continues Dr. Gangel said that the expansion project at the high school is continuing, although the library is behind schedule because the carpeting has not been delivered. That means the stacks cannot be installed. The board agreed that rather than substitute carpeting of less quality the contractor should wait for the original carpeting. The superintendent added that both new classrooms should be open within the next two weeks. Bid specifications for the equipment for the biology lab have been drawn up and are ready for adver usement. Board member Bryant Lee suggested that the movable lab tables included in the specs be wired for electricity, rather than being served by extension cords run across the floor. The board members agreed that would be more economical over time, and directed Dr. Gangel to explore the cost of purchasing electrically-fitted tables. Although he expressed concern over the time frame - the 12 lab tables will require up to 60 days to be delivered — Dr. Gangel agreed with the board’s suggestion and will inquire into changing that bid specification. He said that he hopes that the science labs will be ready for use some time in February.

The two students winning this important national distinction are Carolyn Shaw, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard C. Shaw of Front Royal; and Robert Treville Lawrence IV, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Treville Lawrence III of Warrenton. Both have been students at Wakefield since fourth grade. The two Wakefield seniors are among 15,000 academically talented young people nationwide who will have the opportunity to continue in the 1988 competition for about 6,000 Merit Scholarships Worth over $23 million. More than one million students in some 19,000 U.S. secondary schools entered the current Merit Program by taking a qualifying test, the PSAT/NMSQT, in 1986 when they were juniors. The top scorers in every state, representing about onehalf of one percent of the state’s graduating class, are included in the national semifinalist pool. By publically honoring the semifinalists, the NMSC hopes to focus a spotlight on academic excellence throughout the nation. *■ The most recently named students bring to 16 the total number of Wakefield seniors who have, in the past seven years, earned the distinction of being National Merit Semifinalists. With four semifinalists out bf a class of only 28 last year, Wakefield had the highest percentile of National Merit Semifinalists of any school in Virginia. In addition to the semifinalisti, five Wakefield seniors have been named National Merit Commended Students. These students scored in the top two percent of graduating seniors in the nation. Included m this category are: Merren Booth of Vienna; Nicola Datta of Warrenton? Carey Maar of Front Royal; Matthew Tucker of Warrenton; and Joshua Yowell of Virginia Beach. to use an income protection plan offered by Mutual of Omaha in addition to the plan currently offered by the county. Dr. Gangel said the new plan is both cheaper and more flexible. The program is financed by a three percent contribution from each teacher’s salary, so the option of using the new plan does not affect the county’s budgetary process. • Approved proposed fundraising activities by the seventh grade in preparation for its class trip in the spring. State directives do restrict such activities, Dr. Gangel emphasized. No door-to-door soliciting may be done by students, he said. • Tentatively set a school/community open house for Thursday, Oct. 8, or Oct. 15. Dr. Gangel suggested the reception as a way for new staff members to get to know the community and discover those members who might be available'as resources.

Alternatives (Continued from Page 1) fact, however, U.S. cities are increasingly looking to European examples and reducing waste streams . by as much as 45 percent through recycling programs. “There’s a tremendous opportunity for recycling,” Ms. Bailey said, pointing out that approximately 15 percent of garbage is readily composted yard waste and another 10 percent or so is paper. And compre- *• hensive recycling programs are newly underway in Virginia for glass and aluminum, she added. Asked if she would support a bot- > tie bill requiring returnable con- ; tainers as a means of encouraging recycling, Ms. Bailey noted that this proposal has been aimed primarily at litter control and has not included a requirement for recycling. “I don’t know if a bottle bill would appreciably contribute to conserving landfill space.” A mandatory recycling law, such as enacted in New Jersey, would certainly save room at landfills, provided the recycling centers were convenient enough to draw citizen participation, Ms. Bailey said. And with markets for recycled materials so uncertain, the “cost avoidance factor” must be figured in assessing the financial feasibility of a recycling program, she empha-sized. For local governments, “it may be worth eating a little bit of the costs if you can lengthen the life of your landfill for a couple of years with recycling.” Recycling is “not a panacea, but it should be part of any long range scheme for solid waste management.” cooperative agreements with neighboring localities should likewise be part of long range planning, according to Ms. Bailey. “Regionalization is going to become more and more important.” But she stressed that regionalization doesn’t mean all the area’s garbage goes to a single landfill. Rather the cooperating counties and towns assess their total needs: a sanitary landfill, a resource recovery plant, an ash disposal site for the plant’s waste, a construction and debris landfill, a composting facility ; and recycling centers. They then •> parcel out the various waste management components under the terms of a negotiated comprehensive regional plan, she explained. This is now being done in the Tidewater area, Ms. Bailey noted. But that project was initially started in 1973, “so don’t wait until you have a year or two left in your landfill before you start looking at regional solutions,” she advised. Ms. Bailey reported that the General Assembly’s subcommittee on recycling and waste reduction is now conducting hearings, the next set for input from local officials. According to the executive director of the Department of Waste Man- • agement, the committee is looking at ' legislative approaches to providing three things local governments need in developing their long range plans for solid waste management: • Low cost financing of facilities; ways to finance recycling programs. • More technical assistance, specifically for design and site selection. • Assistance in regionalizing with emphasis on facilitating regional agreements. But a prerequisite for success with solid waste management - be it waste reduction, recycling, alternative technologies, regionalization or building citizen confidence that regulatory agencies will achieve environmental protection - depends in large part on education, Ms. Bailey noted. And that education is lacking, she said, citing a recent poll by the Richmond Times-Diapatch newspaper as an example. Accord- ' ing to the poll, 95 percent of Richmonders are satisfied with the way their garbage is being handled. But other studies indicate that only five percent of the people in Richmond and anywhere else actually know where the garbage goes, Ms. Bailey concluded. Horticultural fall festival The American Horticultural Society will hold its annual Fall Festival at River Farm on Sunday, Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This historic 25-acre estate on the Potomac River is located four miles south of Old Town Alexandria on the George Washington Parkway. The fall gardens will be in bloom with chrysanthemums and dahlias as well as late season roses and perennials. There will be fall bulbs and other plants for sale, artisans and crafts people, face painting for the kids, water gardening demonstrations, floral displays in the mansion provided by District II of the Federation of Garden Clubs and lots more. Lunch and refreshments will be available and all are invited to picnic on the grounds. 9 Admission to the Fall Festival is $2 per person. Children under 12 will be admitted free of charge. To reach River Farm, take the East Boulevard Drive exit off the George Washington Parkway. For further information call (703) 7685700.

Purchase (Continued from Page 1) less expensive?” “The only aspect,” Mr. Joyce replied, “would be natural soils with better permeability; also considering boil depths and the amount of excavation . . . Yes, you may find the perfect site — maybe not.” “It disturbs me,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey, “that people have alleged that we will put in a slipshod thing.” “That’s totally unreal,” Mr. Miller said. “If you look at the regulations, I think most people understand what the state is going to require. They are not going to let us dig a pit and throw garbage into it.” “The permit and site plan for a landfill we did in Caroline County ran 8-10 pages,” Mr. Joyce added. “It’s not practical to assume that something is going to be done in a slipshod manner. The state will have its engineers and geo-technical people on site — to see that it is being built according to the plan and the engineering.” Lorraine Early, one of the leaders of the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District Committee, pressed the board for another site. She pointed out that the soils association map in the Comprehensive Plan lists 54,000 acres of the type soils found on the Stover tract. There are also 112 wells to the east of the Amissville Methodist Church, she added, and there are fractures which run throughout the area. “I feel that we are due an (environmental) impact statement from the EPA.” Mrs. Early’s request drew no response from the board. After Mr. Miller offered a motion to amend the plan, it was approved, 4-1. Jackson District Supervisor A1 Henry cast the lone dissenting vote. Contingencies deemed fulfilled Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke advised the board that in his opinion, all contingencies stipulated by the board prior to purchasing the Stover tract had been fulfilled. • A survey done in July indicated that the property has about 75 feet frontage on a state road, more than required by the contract. • The geo-technical data compiled by Joyce Engineering indicates that the state requirements for preliminary approval have been fulfilled. • Since the county recently exempted itself from the zoning ordinance requirements, that requirement is fulfilled, and the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan sets forth the mandate for the establishment of the landfill. • The state permit for the landfill fulfills the requirement that the site pass all permit and license restrictions. • According to the title search, there are no covenants or other restrictions which would prohibit the use of the site as a landfill. • Based on Mr. Luke’s title search, the deed to the property is unencumbered, he said. • The survey indicated that the actual acreage is within the variance allowed, so there will be no adjustment on the purchase price. On the basis of the process so far, Mr. Luke said he could certify that all contingencies had been met or waived, and the supervisors could proceed to purchase the property. Mr. Henry suggested that title insurance be purchased to protect against litigation involving either the title or the survey. The other board members concurred with his recommendation. Mr. Miller also requested that a “metes and bounds” record be included with the survey. Mr. Luke explained that is not standard practice any more because of the danger of an error in transcription. However, the rest of the board agreed with Mr. Miller, and the metes and bounds will be recorded. Mr. Luke reported the purchase price as a total of $180,427, with checks going to Martin and Walker, attorneys for seller ($179,475), Diane Bruce, Clerk, recording and grantor’s tax ($198), Peter Luke, title search ($414), and Frances Foster, Treasurer, prorated 1987 property tax ($339). Mr. Luke said that closing would probably take place “Tuesday or Wednesday.” The board approved 4-1 the resolution authorizing the sale. Again, Mr. Henry voted against. Joyce submits preliminary design Following the approval of purchase, Mr. Joyce and Dale Schrieber, an engineer with the firm, showed the board preliminary drawings of the design. Mr. Joyce said that the formal design drawings and specifications will be filed with the state within the next several weeks. In response to a question from Mr. Lane, Mr. Joyce said that, barring long periods of bad weather, he estimated that the first phase of construction could be completed by some time next spring. After the meeting, Mr. McCarthy said that he could offer only a general idea of where the site would be located on the 99-acre tract. He indicated the southwest area would be the general quadrant, bordered by a 150-foot screen of trees from the property line. He added that the final design plans, showing the exact location of all facilities, would be made public to soon as Joyce Engineering'delivers them to the county. School night for scouting The fun and adventure that boys find in Tiger Clubs, Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting is very near for hundreds of boys in this area who want to be Scouts. In the fall of 1986, over 1000 youth joined Scouting in the Shenandoah area through School Night. School Night for Scouting in local schools this year is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m. and boys (from first grade up) and parents are invited to come to their neighborhood school “to join the Scouts,” according to Dr. John ^PLUMBING & HEATING SUPPLIES in helping homeowners STANDARDSUPPtf & EQUIPMENT CO. 501 E.

There’s no objective analysis,” she said, maintaining that the study should be “extremely explicit.” She criticized the choice of a landfill site in “the nugor population center of Rappahannock County” with “the highest density and the smallest lots” of any other area excepting the Town of Washington. Holding up what she described as a “profile map of the Stover tract,” she called the 99 acres “a little table land and all the rest a good sized hill . . . Water follows gravity down hill.” IIU £U<1I ctlllt't Ultse liners (for the garbage trenches) will last forever,” said Bobby Carter. “All this contamination sitting on top of the water coming to our wells - it’s not reasonable.” Mr. Carter also attacked the engineering report, maintaining that the area has more wells than the 55 cited in the geotechnical study. Charging that the county has “not yet researched the liability and repercussions” of locating a landfill on the Stover property, Nancy Dishner said that enactment of the Comprehensive Plan amendment calling for a solid waste disposal facility there would be “poor planning if not negligent action.” Hugh Green predicted that local taxes will have to be raised dramatically to pay for development of the Stover tract as a county landfill. “It’s not just the voters of Jackson District you’ll be held accountable to,” he warned the supervisors. Jim Woodward repeated his request for an environmental study of the area, noting that at an earlier hearing on the landfill proposal, he had invited the supervisors “to walk the streams and see the beaver dams,” but that none of the five had taken him up on his offer. “I can’t understand putting in a landfill within a mile and a quarter of the Rappahannock River,” said C. D. Green, adding that if the solid waste disposal facility goes on the Stover tract, “long down the line, you’ll have a lawsuit.” Beverly Hunter called on the supervisors to explore recycling programs, special collections of household hazardous wastes and other innovative answers to the trash question. r.- ■- ■ ^ ' = “Joyce’s plan is no plan,” said Ellis Bingham. According to the retired Army colonel, who is a candidate for supervisor from Jackson District, the engineering firm’s report “specifically states that there will be groundwater contamination (from a landfill on the Stover tract).” Liners will not provide adequate protection, he said. “The liner concept is not proven. It takes 50 years to prove a concept,” he maintained, adding that if the liner is punctured, “it’s the bath tub effect - right down into the groundwater.” Attorney Larry Silverman, consultant to the Jackson District citizens’ committee, called for a fiveyear capital improvements budget, as specified by the Comprehensive Plan, before the development of a landfill is begun. “We are concerned that the county will not be able to meet the very high costs of developing the Stover site in conformity with the requirements of good practice ” Exchanges between officials and speakers grew more heated as administrative assistant John McCarthy explained that the only questions before the planning commissioners were (1) is a landfill needed? and (2) if it’s needed, is the Stover tract a reasonable place for it to be? Leachate collection, monitoring wells, trench liners and other technical aspects of the landfill’s design and development fall under the state’s purview while cost projections and other budgetary matters are the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors, Mr. McCarthy emphasized repeatedly. Supervisor Nelson Lane took exception to accusations that the board has not been diligently pursuing a solution to the county’s trash crisis. “We’ve done our homework .. . This board is responsible for finding potential landfill sites in our county. Beyond that, it goes to the state.” Replying to the threat of a suit should the Stover tract be developed as a sanitary landfill, the representative from Stonewall-Hawthome, the district that holds the current privately owned and operated Clark landfill, said: “If we don’t put in a landfill, see who goes to court.” And he maintained that without a landfill, the county could be paying $12,000 a day to have its trash collected, hauled and disposed of by a private contractor with access to a private landfill. With the chairman’s declaration that the public hearing was closed, the planning commissioners took a ALTAVISTA, circa 1812 Is rooted In the heart of historic Rappahannock hunt country.

The more population we have, the more trash we produce.” He declared his support for the Comprehensive Plan amendment. “We have to leave it to the state tc say whether this is a good site. We’re only here to provide a vehicle for the county to allow a site to be selected.” Commissioner David Fannon suggested that the questions raised over potential groundwater contamination and inadequacies in the engineering report be forwarded to the State Department of Waste Management. As to the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the commission’s representative from Jackson District proposed that it provide for a landfill site acceptable to that agency without specifying any location. NewbUl Miller, the board’s representative on the commission, noted that the department’s geologist had reviewed the geotechnical report on the Stover tract and determined it “appears to indicate that the site is suitable for a landfill.” Describing himself as a native of Rappahannock and a farmer who has worked the land, John Clark said he’s “well aware of the water situation” without having visited the Stover property. He told the audience that he’d come to the meeting undecided on his position, but that the maps they’d brought to prove the allgedly suitable site unsuitable had convinced him of just the opposite. There aren’t many 100-acre tracts without houses remaining in the county, Mr. Clark noted. “And you’d have to look pretty hard to find 100 acres with only a 100-foot difference in elevation,” he said, adding, “there is not an ideal spot in the county.” “We all create trash,” he reminded the people from Amissville. “I’m going to pay for that thing just the same way as you are.” Following Mr. Miller’s suggested wording, the commissioners voted 41, with Mr. Fannon opposed, to recommend adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Council (Continued from Page 1) keep the street lights lit. Peter Skowronski asked how the council will spend the $2,500 budgeted for sanitation, which includes trash collection, grass cutting and snow removal on the town’s sidewalks and rights-of-way. Mayor Morehouse said he would like to see Ray Pullen, the town’s full-time employee, handle those tasks, but that the town has a contract with John Norman to provide those services which runs through August 1988. So far, Mr. Fisher added, Mr. Pullen has been handling the services not provided by Mr. Norman. The budget, which Mayor Morehouse emphasized is a blueprint for planning and not an authorization to spend funds, was passed unanimously by the six council members present. Planners ask for review After finding that not all the members of the town’s Planning Commission had an opportunity to review the proposed amended Historic District Ordinance, the commissioners decided to take into consideration changes suggested at the joint public hearing held with the Town Council. Rather than to approve and recommend it to the council for passage last week, Commissioner Bill Frizzell suggested that they study the proposal once a copy which incorporated the changes is ready. Planning Commissioner Joyce Kramer suggested that “we really need to look this over some more.” Mr. Frizzell announced that the Planning Commission will meet at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28, at the Courthouse to review the proposed Historic District ordinance. No accord on power lines Mr. Reynolds reported that a committee of Mayor Morehouse, Peter Skowronski and himself has talked with Potomac Edison about the possibility of having the electric power lines within the town buried. Although no agreement has been reached, he said that the consensus seems to be that “we should work toward burying the power lines.” Eileen M.
