Newbill Miller, explaining his decision to back William C. Chase Jr. in his bid to unseat incumbent State Senator Kevin Miller. “Local governing bodies need representation in Richmond,” he added, Hand I think that Bill has the experience to do that. Bill Chase hasn’t changed since I’ve' known him; he’s the same person whom I met 20 years ago.” Washington attorney Doug Baumgardner said, “I think that Bill Chase brings an abundance of experience to the office of state senator. Everywhere he’s been, in every aspect of his life, he’s been a leader. He’s been a leader in Culpeper, serving as chairman of the board of supervisors - establishing himself as a responsible local official.” Mr. Baumgardner added that he feels that Mr. Chase, as a Democrat, “is positioned to get things done for this district. He will serve as a member of the majority party. In the Senate, there are 31 Democrats and nine Republicans ... It doesn’t take somebody well-schooled in politics to figure out that if you want someone to get things done for you, it pays to have somebody who has an influence with the party which controls the apparatus of the state lidi Senate. “Bill Chase is philosophically attuned to the leadership of the Senate, which is moderate to conservative. He will be responsible to his constituents.” “I'm very much concerned,” Mr. Miller said. “I think that local governments have been unfairly treated by the stat§[^egiaUtui$Y^ . . they will mandate Is, force the lorraise taxes significantly and then they campaign that they never raise taxes. I think that if they should certainly provide i it difficult for them tobe re-elected, then so be it. “One of the things that really offended me,” tir. Miller &aid, was Sen. Miller’s position on a proposal advanced in the 1986 General Assembly session to take away the power of localities to ban or restrict the siting of mobile homes. Rappahannock is one of about 25 counties in the state which have such a restrictive provision in their zoning ordinances. Sen. Miller was one of the bill’s patrons. “It was the principle involved - a nugor principle in Virginia - that as much responsibility as can be left with the localities will be left with the localities, STOPPING FOR A CHAT at the Courthouse, State Senate candidate Bill Chase talks with some of the county’* officials.

Buntin, Sheriff JohnHenry Woodward, Mr. Chase and Doug Baumgardner, his county co-chairman. v „ ”• jA and he was taking it away. He did it, he said, because of housing for the poor. But the people who gave the bill the most support in the General Assembly were from the mobile home industry,” the veteran county official said. v “I did not feel like I was listened to-osl received when we discussed the issue” with Sen. Miller, he ad^ed. “And, l am not the only Ra^jpahahhock official Who feels that way. “The trailers did rub us the wrong way,•Mr. Miller said, “but the principle - the violation of the principle - I think that politicians have to have a set of principles, and operate within those principles; and if they don’t, it’s a mistake.” Mr. Baumgardner, who is coanchoring the Chase effort in Rappahannock, echoed Mr. Miller’s comments. (See CHASE, p. 18) Miller calls Chase’s • By LOU HATTER BappmunMkHm Staff Writer At a press conference held Tuesday morning at Republican headquarters in Culpeper, State Senator Kevin Miller hotly denied three claims made by challenger William C. Chase Jr. in a campaign brochure inserted in a number of area newspapers last Week. Sen. Miller said “I will make no comments as to any exaggeration or fabrication my opponent might make about his own background or qualifications. However, I am compelled to respond to three absolutely false statements making refer Despite rain, Sperryville’s festival a success Although the weatherman was not completely cooperative, the merchants and crafters wha attended the Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration and the Artists of the Blue Ridge exhibition reported good sales and plenty of people. Saturday, rain and -wind prevailed, but a good number of dedicated festival-seekers braved the elements to enjoy Sperryville, according to Cheri Woodard, whose Faith Mountain Company is the cosponsor of the exhibition. “The rain seems to bring out the serious buyers,” she explained, adding that the merchants reported more sales on Saturday than on Sunday, when a large crowd jammed the town for the entire sunny day. Anne Stephens, director of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, which also sponsors the artists’ exhibition, agreed. “It went really well. Saturday was surprisingly busy, despite the rain. The exhibitors had a great day — the people who came were seriously interested in seeing and purchasing the art.” (See FESTIVAL, p. 18) State says concerns must be addressed, resolved “Before the design plans (for a county landfill on the Stover tract) are approved and a permit is issued, it will have to be demonstrated, without a doubt, that health and the environment can be protected; that th^^fality can be properly sited, property operated and properly closed, said Barry Wright, chief of technical services for the Department qf Waste Management, Virginia's landfill permitting agency. Mr. Wright was speaking last Wednesday at a special meeting in the Washington courthouse between representatives from his department, the county’s engineering con sultant Leonard • Joyce, the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors’ administative assistant John McCarthy, leaders of the Jackson District citizens’ group and their advisors, environmental consultant Larry Silverman and engineer Timothy Saylor, director of the chemistry and earth science division of Buchart Horn Inc. Mr. Wright had high praise for the efforts of the Jackson District contingent, adding that their concerns “must be addressed and put to rest before the site is permitted.” If the design plans submitted by Joyce Engineering do not answer all questions on potential threats to health and the environment, then the plans will be sent back for further work, Mr. Wright said. “I’ll continue to do this until we’re satisfied that the potential for degradation of health and the environment are addressed to our satisfaction.” After reviewing geotechnical studies submitted by Joyce Engineering, the Department of Waste Management determined in August that the Stover tract near Amissville is suitable as a landfill site and advised the supervisors to proceed with the design phase of the permit application. In response, the super visors executed the $185,000 sales' contract which had been contingent upon the property being approved for solid waste disposal. But at earlier meetings on the proposed landfill, representatives' from the citizens’ group questioned whether the abundance of water on the 100-acre tract, its steep slopes and the limited clay content of its soils either precluded the site entirely from consideration as a county landfill or made development costs prohibitively expensive. At Wednesday’s meeting, they pointed to findings of state geologists to bolster those same points. ence to me in this publication.” y First, he said, a story in Mr. Chase’s publication alleged that the Culpeper Board of Supervisors had invited Sen. Miller to each of its meetings for three years and had never even received an acknowledgement of the invitation. “I did not receive,” Sen. Miller contended, “even as much as a notice of the supervisors meetings for three years. I have never received an invitation to meet with the supervisors. Early in the summer of 19871 did start receiving notices of (See MILLER, p. 18) Kilpatrick Will run in Stonewall-Hawthome Incumbent Nelson Lane’s “no-show” at the PTA’s education forum Tuesday night prompted Sharon Kilpatrick to declare a write-in candidacy Wednesday morning, making Stonewall-Hawthome the third magisterial district with a contested race for the Board of Supervisors this Nov. 3. Mrs. Kilpatrick conceded that her late entry makes her the decided underdog. “I’m not expecting to win,” she said, noting the work any write-in candidate must do in order to convince voters not to go the easy route and check off a box but instead draw a box themselves and write in a name. “But I think the people in our district ought to have a way to say W besides tearing up the ballot.” She acknowledged that her opponent has not been “an absolutely terrible supervisor.” Mr. Lane made a good appointment to the School Board in naming Bll Oliver, Mrs. Kilpatrick said. “And he’s taken the trouble to inform himself on issues like the landfill, but that doesn’t do much good if he doesn’t attend the board meetings,” she added, noting that Mr. Lane frequently foils to show up for even the regular monthly sessions. She cited one meeting, a special session on hunting issues and game seasons, where he was particularly conspicuous in his absence. “It was called on Nelson’s own motion. Then he went hunting in New Mexico instead of coming to the meeting!” A former reporter on general assignment and educational issues with the Washington Daily News, Mrs. Kilpatrick taught for four years and is currently a substitute with the Rappahannock County public schools. Over the past several years, she’s led the effort to organize the county’s Girl Scout programs. As a citizen activist, she’s attended the monthly meetihgs of the Rappahannock County School Board for more than a decade and intermittently monitored the board of supervisors’ sessions. This write-in campaign is not Mrs. Kilpatrick’s first foray into politics. She was Sen. Eugene McCarthy’s running mate in Virginia in his unsuccessful bid for the presidency. She and her husband Sean, a professional photographer and former newspaper editor, run a Christmas tree farm near Woodville. They have three children at Rappahannock County High School: Heather and Douglas Kilpatrick and Daniel Cremers, a foreign exchange student who is living with the family. “Given data is insufficient” In a letter dated Sept. 10 to Mr. Wright, Jan Marie Pickrel, the chief regional geologist for the State Water Control Boai*4, after reviewing the report submitted by Joyce Engineering, found: • The evaluation identifies several potential problem areas that will limit the amount of land suitable for landfilling operations and/or will require extra expense necessary to compensate for the property’s deficiencies. • A synthetic liner and the importation of offsite soils for cover material will be necessary to protect ground and surface waters. • Approximately 26 percent of the site has grades between 14 and 25 percent and is thus questionable for solid waste disposal. “The more gentle slopes are adjacent to (See LANDFILL, p. 18)

Mere House’: A contemporary masterpiece ihe thirty-first annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18. The three houses slated for this year’s tour will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 P-i®. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Headquarters for the, event will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington. ■•The Parish Hall will also serve as sales room for hundreds of arrangements of dried flowers prepared by the. ladies of Trinity Church and others; in the community who, since spring, have been growing, collecting and drying thousands of blossoms, greens and pieces of foliage for .these arrangements. The second of the houses to be shtfwn this year is “Mere House,” the contemporary passive solar home of Linda and William Dietel. Built in 1981, designed by Bump Zoid of New York and landscaped by Meade Palmer of Warrenton, it was chosen as a Record House by The Architectural Record in 1983. Mere House is the center of the Over Jordan Polypay sheep farm. This modem, three level, weathered wood structure is built into a hillside overlooking a pond or “mere.” Quite different from what one would expect of at “farm house,” it is as clean-lined outside as it is within; bright, airy, modem, comfortable and uncluttered. A small Greek temple forms the entrance at the main level; this is repeated at the deck overlooking the pond. The main living area is on this level with its 14-foot ceiling supported by massive beams and concrete columns. This is a large open space serving as sitting room, dining roojm and kitchen. Continuing through the 100-foot length of this level and separated by a shoji screen is the living/music room featuring a large stone fireplace in the north w^Jl. ^Beyond this is a study looking out on a small cascade and pool. A low wall separates the kitchen and dining area from a three story, tiled stairwell whose sand-filled masonry Pluto coortesy of Scan Kilpatrick “MERE HOUSE,’’ the contemporary solar home of Bill and Linda Dietel, is one of three county homes featured on this year’s House Tour. It’s located three miles west of Flint Hill off Rt. 629. wall facing the southern windows serves as a heat sink during the winter. Most of the two lower levels are built into the hillside; the stairwell leads to the master suite and deck on the second level and guest room and sauna on the lower. It also provides access to the swimming dock on the pond. In summer the stairwell also conducts cool air from across the pond up into the living areas. Mere House contains many art works, both modern and traditional, including some by the Dietels’ son. Several African sculptures and wood carvings add to the decor. The latter were brought from Africa by Bill Di etel on some of his several trips to that continent in connection with activities of the Rockefeller Brothers’ Fund, of which he is president. To the right of the entrance to the farm is a log cabin on a site which according to a plat drawn in 1793, a building is located. The cabin’s age is unclear.

Day realtor ° * CAPITAL GAINS TAX i QUESTION: What effect does the latest Tax Reform Act have on capital $>ains tax when I sell my home? ANSWER: One of the biggest changes introduced by the Tax Rejfprm Act is the elimination of the Taxjlivored treatment of net long-term Capital gains. It did away with the 60 percent exclusion of capital gains Jprofit on property held more than six Jnonths). Starting in 1987, all capital Jejains are treated like ordinary income. jjOnder the old law, the top rate was jdnly 20% (i.e. 40% of the net long Jerm gain subject to the top marginal Drate of 50%). For 1987, the transitional year, the top rate is 28% even plough some ordinary income is taxed ;as high as 38'/;>%. I' However, on the bright side, >omesellers can continue to avoid current tax on a sale if they spend the proceeds on another primary home within ;two years before or after the sale, i Also, if the homeseller is over age 55, !he still has a one-time tax exclusion ion the first $125,000 of sale profit i whether or not he replaces the home.

Luke cited for role in developing art standards Joy Turner Luke of Sperryville has been named a 1987 recipient of the American Society for Materials and Testing’s Award of Merit. Mrs. Luke was the chairman of a committee which developed three standards for artists’ supplies and materials. Mrs. Luke explained that the effort was the first time that meaningful standards for chronic toxicity had been developed for paints and other materials in common use by artists. Chronic, as opposed to acute toxicity, is the “possibility that the material might cause serious disease, such as cancer, after exposure over a long period of time,” Mrs. Luke said. "It’s so difficult to establish such a relationship” that few organizations have ventured into the field, she added. “It really amounts to each industry sending all its products to independent toxicologists, along with a list of the ingredients and their percentages, for evaluation and testing.” Different labels are then issued, with some products labeled, for example, as safe for school children while others are suitable only for professional use. Mrs. Luke said that the three standards developed by her committee have been adopted by five states and legislation incorporating them is pending in Congress. “I hope it will be the beginning of what other industries should do as well - there’s really no other way to address this problem.” The Award of Merit, and the accompanying title of Fellow of the Society, were established in 1949 to recognize productive service to ASTM, marked leadership, outstanding contribution JOY TURNER LUKE or publication of papers, a society spokesman explained. Mrs. Luke received the award at a ceremony in Dearborn, Michigan earlier this year. Mrs. Luke was also honored by the society with its Gardner Award in 1981, which recognizes outstanding leadership. Mrs. Luke, a native of Brooklyn, has studied art at Rollins College, Southern Methodist University and American University. She began her art career in 1943 as head of the display department at a retail store in Florida. In 1965, she joined Studio II Art School as a drawing and color instructor, accepting a position in 1968 with the Art League as a painting and color instructor. Since 1971 she has owned Studio 231 in the F. T. Valley outside Sperryville, and continues to teach and give lectures on color. Her paintings have been shown in many galleries and museums, including the Smithsonian Institution.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Editorial Only you can ... prevent forest fires. And, Smokey might add, all types of fire. Next week is National Fire Prevention Week. It’s an annual event, a week when fire departments, contractors and outdoor organizations, among many others, stress the need for the public to be aware of the dangers of fire. That’s a good idea. But, it’s really more than a one-week reminder. It’s everyone’s responsibility to be aware of the danger of fire every day of the year, no matter where you are. That cigarette butt, flicked thoughtlessly from the window of a car, could destroy a field or forest. The overloaded extension cord, which you plan to replace next time you get to the store, could be the cause of a devastating house fire. Gasoline, stored improperly where children can reach it, could cause a tragic loss of life. Most fire prevention is a matter of common sense. But, as is often the case, common sense is really a lot less common than most of us would like to believe. So take a few minutes, sometime next week, to survey your house, and garage, and habits. Fireproofing begins with each individual. Waiting until tomorrow may be too late. If you need help, or have questions about specific fire prevention techniques, such as fire extinguishers or the proper installation of woodstoves, your local volunteer fire department would be happy to provide you with information. Likewise, the Rappahannock Building and Zoning office has information about proper instaUatign^focedures for wood heaters. The office will also inspect completed installations. ^ Electrical contractors can provide information about adequate circuit loads. That is an often-overlooked item. It's especially important during the winter, when most houses have more lights burning for a longer time — as well as portable electric heaters, electric blankets and other highwattage appliances. v -V And, as was mentioned earlier, woodstove safety cannot be stressed enough. There are many houses in Rappahannock which heat with wood. Each chimney should be cleaned before the first fire of the season is built. Even if the chimney is clean, a nesting bird may have stuffed the chimney during the summer. At best you’ll end up with a house full of smoke; at worst you could have a bad chimney fire. As winter approaches, traditionally the county’s fire departments have an increase in business — business which they would rather not have. The more people who actively participate in fire prevention, the less fires there will be. We’re sure that none of the county’s volunteer firefighters would complain if they got no business at all this winter. That could happen — but only if you help. A message to 4-H from President Reagan Greetings to all my friends in the 4-H family. As honorary chairman of the National 4-H Council, I’d like to congratulate you for all you’re doing to better yourselves to secure the future of our beloved country. I can’t think of an experience more enriching for our young people than the 4-H program. 4-H offers a unique blend of American traditions - and it has its own special traditions of building responsible, capable citizens. 4-H is building our country from the individual on up. The 4-H blend - a mixture of talents from every walk of life and combination of public and private resources - stands out among the rest. Dedicated adults, working through 4-H, have created a dynamic pathway to learning, achievement and good citizenship for America’s young, 1 people. And 4-H is today on the threshold of its finest hour. Never has the need been greater for 4-H’s practical dimension to education. . The 4-H program has a re cord of success and cost effectiveness. Much of this can be traced to the more than 600,000 volunteers who are at the heart of the 4-H program. 4-H is one of the brightest examples of the American ideal of personal commitment. It’s a special alliance - a growing and nurturing movement laying the foundations of an exciting future for America. Is there a greater challenge than preparing our young people for the responsibility they will inherit? I don’t think so. That’s what 4-H is all about. 4-H’ers are preparing for a vibrant, opportunity-filled tomorrow. Exciting days are just ahead. Young people in 4-H, with the help of some dedicated adults, will be ready when tomorrow gets here. The young people, adults and sponsors of 4-H are seeing to it that America will be in good hands. God bless you. President Reagan is the Honorary Chairman of the National k-H Council Board of Trustees. Call tTfje fcappatiannocfe iirtofi at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos. Op-Ed Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage ON A BRILLIANT FALL afternoon, the Thornton River meanders through Rappahannock County near Scrabble. Letters to the Editor Sen. Miller replies To the Editor: This is in response to a recent letter published in this paper criticizing njy^m^pofl of a state horse center . 1 .1 In 1985, after over three years of study and consideration of possible sites for a state horse center, Senator Anderson, one of the few remaining solidly conservative Democrats, sponsored a bill that would create the Virginia Equine Center near Lexington. The Lexington site was chosen by unanimous vote of the study committee. There were many reasons for selecting the Lexington site, not the least of which was private donations of over 360 acres of beautiful land along the Maury River, as well as several hundred thousands of dollars in cash donations to start the center. After years of study, and after hearing absolutely no opposition to the establishment of a state horse center to enhance the horse industry in Virginia, I and 23 other senators joined Senator Anderson as co-sponsors of his bill. The bill was passed by the Agriculture Committee and the full Senate by unanimous vote. I have yet to hear of any private horse-related activities that will be damaged by planned activities of the Equine Center. If this center, over 120 miles from Culpeper, would be a threat to activities at Commonwealth Park, I should have heard about it. The owner of Commonwealth Park and the board of supervisors of Culpeper County were well aware of the efforts to establish an equine center. it the board ot supervisors were opposed to the creation of the Virginia Equine Center, then there was a glaring lack of leadership on the part of the chairman for not communicating the' pohitibn of the board to me or Delegate George Beard.' The study committee visited Commonwealth Park, in Culpeper County, along with many other possible sites, and unanimously rejected any further consideration of Commonwealth Park because it did not meet the desired criteria of an equine center. In addition, the owner simply wanted to sell part of the facilities to the state. It was only after the bill passed the senate that I was informed by Delegate Beard that the owner of Commonwealth Park objected to the bill. I am proud to represent the 26th District. Most people agree that this is one of the most conservative districts in Virginia. Therefore, I think it only fitting that as your senator, I have an established record as a leader in defending freedom of the individual and the free enterprise system. I have been rated by the Virginia Conservative Education and Research Institute every year as the first or second most conservative member of the state. Fortunately, the citizens of the 26th Senate District are intelligent enough to decide whether the statements published by the resident of Washington, Va., are statements of substance or simple irrational rant of a chronic partisian. KEVIN G. MILLER State Senator Tax workshops across slate A series of nine farm and small business income tax conferences will be held across the state in November and December to explain the current federal arid state tax laws.

This year we were able to buy new uniforms for all the kids and also some new equipment. The Rappahannock Woman’s Club donated money from their fashion show which we used for some safety equipment, and also a group of parents made cakes and raffled them off for money for some T-Ball safety equipment. We would like to thank our sponsors who were: Masters Inc. of Maryland; W & J Grocery of Sperryville; Hillsdale Grocery of Massie’s Corner and The Rappahannock Lions Club for their generous donations. - We also had some personal donations we would like to acknowledge. r They are: Brothers Signal Co. in' Leesburg, Michael & Jeannie Welch of Sperryville, Faith Mountain Co. of Sperryville, Settles Grocery & Garage of Flint Hill, Von Fange Tool ’ Co. of Woodville, Washington Cash'' Store of Washington, James W.

I personally would like toC thank Mike Welch for the fine job he£ did as president of R. A. A. this year.;. CAROL L. FOSTER; Secretary & Treasurer, R.A. A. \ How about a rail? To the Editor: It is gratifying to learn that someone besides me is concerned about the deplorable condition of the walk at the court house, and especially of the steps leading up from the street. They are worn and dangerous, and I hope that, when repairs are made, consideration will be given to installing some sort of railing at them. It would make them less of a hazard and much safer for those of us who are not so steady on our feet or spry as we once were, and would be a big help to us. MRS. C.E. JOHNSON JR.

Talisman wins literary award Wakefield School's student literary magazine Talisman has won, for the fourth year in a row, a First Place award from the Columbia University School of Journalism. Along with that honor came a “Superior” rating and an “All-Columbian Award” in several categories. In critiquing the magazine, the judges commented, “Talisman is a most satisfying magazine. You are attempting to do a number of things within its pages, and you epjoy success ... It offers variety, insight, sensitivity and exuberance.” The panel went on to praise the “lovely mystical writing in your mag AMERICAN I GANCER_ SOCIETY ■ ?! Help a friend quit azine of the sort rarely found in any high school publication.” Wakefield’s student. writers were also praised for their good understanding of the sonnet form in their poetry, their “great talent for narrative,” and their mastery of the literary essay (in which they received the maximum number of credits). Wakefield’s literary magazine, although referred to as a high school publication by Columbia’s judges, contains the work of students in grades 1 through 12. One judge commented, “You have successfully blended the work of the younger children with that of the older ones. This is a significant achievement.” The staff of Talisman this year is headed by senior Jennifer Shanks. The faculty advisor is junior English teacher Lee Buratti. In presenting the first place award to Headmaster William Lynn Jr. before an all-school assembly recently, Mrs. Buratti praised the students for their writing skills and creativity and promised an even better Talisman for this year.

4-H and Extension: Nurturing 4-H programs offer something for all kids By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Afent More than 115,000 Virginia youth are participating in Extension 4-H educational programs ranging from food preparations and livestock production to energy and consumer education. The 55 subjects developed at 4-H projects include public speaking, photography, performing arts and computers, as well as dairy, poultry, clothing, forestry, wood science and many others. All subjects are based upon university research to assure accurate information. Learning to organize group activities, serving as 4-H club officers and engaging in community service work are examples of group learning opportunities involving youth in organized 4-H clubs. Other 4-H members participate through school enrichment programs, special interest projects and instructional television. Once identified as a farm youth organization, 4-H has more than 43 percent of its members living in towns and cities. The remaining 57 percent live in small towns and rural areas of the state. Programs designed by 4-H are adapted to the needs of youth wherever they may live. 4-H provides professional leadership for programs planned and implemented locally by volunteers. These volunteers receive training provided by Extension agents, other volunteers and Extension specialists at Virginia Tech and Virginia State. Camping programs at Virginia’s six district 4-H Education Centers served more than 15,000 4-H youth last summer. The various camps offered at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center at Front Royal during the summer of 1987 were attended by more than 3,000 campers. RappaJwiWfk*, .County sent. ^ campers to the Orange-MadisonRappahannock Junior Camp (ages 912) in August and 11 campers attended the district-wide Junior High Camp (ages 12-15) also held in August. During July, 60 youth, ranging from age 6 to 12, attended Rappahannock 4-H Day Camp, this year held at the 4-H Center. In addition, 12 adult volunteers and 11 teen leaders helped with Junior Camp and Day Camp. Camp programs provide away-from-home group living experiences, emphasize outdoor learning activities, skill development, confidence building and constructive recreational activities. Special programs are designed for different audiences. One project helps preteen children of working mothers learn how to take care of themselves safely after school. A teen program called “Wilderness Challenge” helps youths develop confidence in themselves and improve their ability to work as members of a team. The “Consumerama” quiz bowl helps youth be wise consumers, getting the best buy for their money for items purchased by young people. The competition of the quiz bdwl THERE’S TIME FOR FUN at the State Fair too! From left, Tyrone Starks, Emmy Bailey Amy Richardson (top), Michael Brown and Greg Williams enjoy the rides. stimulates study of consumer products and builds excitement and enthusiasm. The newest program to be introduced by 4-H is “Blue Sky Below My Feet.” It is a new multi-media program that uses features from the Space Shuttle program as working models. The three subject matters addressed are forces, fibers and food. There is an important international dimension to 4-H. Many Vir ginia 4-H families participate by hosting international visitors. There are opportunities for 4-H teen youth to live abroad during the summer through the International 4-H Exchange (IFYE) Ambassador Program. Part of that overall program is the LABO exchange program with Japan. Recent 4-H alumni (ages 1925) can qualify for four to six months international experiences as IFYE representatives. 4-H’ers can be tapped into the All-Star Program. The 4-H Cloverbud program for ages 6-8 is being carried out in some areas of the state. A local club is being formed in Rappahannock County. The focus of this program is to give younger children an introduction into the 4-H program. It further meets the needs of younger children who have older brothers and sisters involved in 4-H. A district-wide overnight Cloverbud Camp is being planned for next Au gust. The 4-H emblem consists of a green four-leaf clover with an “H” on each leaf. The “H’s” stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health, representing learning, loyalty, service and better living. Excellence is an established value in 4-H. “To Make the Best Better” has been the motto of 4-H almost since it began nearly eight decades ago. While individual and team competition are typical of 4-H, the 4-H youth also learn the importance of cooperation through many club and group activities. We are constantly looking for young people and adults who would like to become involved with 4-H in any area from the young Cloverbuds through teens. More information may be obtained by contacting the Rappahannock Extension Office at 675-3619. 4-H Congress By AMY RICHARDSON Rappahannock 4-H Member I went to 4-H Intermediate Congress this year. It was great! We had three classes in the morning called the Fun Shop. Then, there was one class during the afternoon called the Action Shop. For recreation, there was swimming every day. And, we had dances at least twice. On Monday night, we had a banquet. The Congress was held at Smith Mountain Lake. I hope I can go back. The ages for the camp are 12 and 13 years old. We all went in a van from the Northern Virginia District. We met new people, as well as friends whom we had met at other events. I do hope to go back next year. jT-i* PATHWAY* ’ TO THE FUTURE 5 THE INN Arumg, msHmooN 675-3800 BEST WISHES 4-Her’s THE RAPPAHANNOCK NATIONAL BANK 703-675-3519 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA 22747 MEMBER FDIC Congratulations 4-H’ers ROBERT JCLATTERBUCK PLUMBING 8C HEATING P.O.

Head, Heart, Hands antCHeaCt ft A championship story By MICHAEL BROWN LhmtockClub I had the Grand Champion Lamb this year at the Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock Farm Show. My market lamb was in my possession about three months. During this time, I trained and fed my lamb. I took my lamb to the Farm Show on July 23. There I cleaned and prepared my lamb for the show. When I first went into the show ring, I was very nervous. Finally, after some time the judge announced I had the winning lamb in my class. I had to leave the ring and prepare myself and my lamb to come back to the ring and compete again. The other class winners were in the ring at this time and this is when I was told my lamb was the Grand Champion. I was shocked! It was an honor for me and an experience I will always remember. Michael Brown 125,500 involved BLACKSBURG — “4-H is for youth all across the state,” says the head of the Virginia 4-H program. The proof of that statement lies with the more than 125,500 Virginia youngsters who last year were part of 4-H. In Virginia, youngsters are part of 4-H in more than 900 community clubs, 1,800 school clubs, 560 special interest groups, and 1,100 school enrichment programs. In order to have exciting programs for that many youngsters, 4-H involves almost 6,800 adult lead ers and more than 2,000 teenage leaders as volunteers. These individuals work with Extension agents in all the counties and most cities Virginia 4-H members come from all types of communities, but the largest group, 52.6 percent, comes from non-farm towns of populations under 10,000. Farms are home for 10 percent; town and cities with population between 10,000 and 50,000, for 13.3 percent; suburbs of 50,000 population-cities, for 9.8 percent; central cities over 50,000 population, for 14.3 percent. What 4-H means to me By BILL MARTIN Kwhnmck 4-H Member I like 4-H because it is fan. One of the most ftin things is 4-H Camp. This past year, day-camp was at the Northern Virginia 4H Center. It was lots of fun! We got to go swimming every day. One day some goats came to see us and tried to eat our lunch. Overnight Junior Camp was fun, too. We had campfires and picnics every day. One day, people from NASA came, and another day the Chester Gap Fire Department and Rescue Squad came. We went to class every morning. Some of the classes were swimming, fishing, archery and ceramics. I hope I can go back next year. At the fair By GREG WILLIAMS 4-H Lhrcatock Club On Sept. 25, the Rappahannock County 4-H Livestock Club went to the State Fair in Richmond. While at the fair, we participated in the Junior Stockman’s Judging Contest. We judged and placed classes of horses, cattle, sheep and swine, as well as butchered meats, hays and feeds. Each participant also was given a test on diseases and the health of livestock. Going to the State Fair was a lot of fun and a learning experience at the same time. A busy year! By LIZ OLIVER Urcatock Club I’m 15 years old and I’ve been active in 4-H for 5 years. I am a member of the Livestock Club. This year was especially busy for me. In February I went to two teen weekends at the 4-H Center in Front Royal. One was a teen retreat and the other was a teen leadership training program. This summer was very busy indeed. At the end of June I went to Virginia Tech for 4 days to the 4-H State Congress. Congress is a wonderful experience. The purpose is to have each county in the state send delegates, so that the people who go can meet others from all over the state. This year I went on a scholarship I won at a District 4-H competition. My category was Meats and Meat Substitutes. I did a demonstration on wholesale and retail cuts of beef entitled “The Where and How of Beef.” To win a scholarship you must receive a blue ribbon at the District level. This was the first yew I had done a demonstration and I was happy to win a red ribbon at State. After I returned home from.Congrees, I was a teen leader far the 4H Junior Day Camp that Rappahannock held at the beginning of July. On the fourth of July I helped in the 4-H Livestock Chib booth in Washington. From July 28-361 participated in the Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Show, where I showed and sold my project steer for this year. From August IQ-14 I was once again a teen leader for the OrangeMadison-Rappahannock Junior Camp. The camp was held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center in Front Royal. The activities I haVe listed are by no means the only ones open to 4H*ers. There are a variety of projects ranging from small motors to sewing to wildlife to livestock. I feel that 4-H is * very special experience and I strongly urge interested individuals to mil 676-8619 far more information. 4-H oilers a step up on life Membership in youth /organizations really does make a difference later in life. A nationwide study found that 4-H’ers are among the most pleased with what their organization did for them. Former members rated experiences in 4-H higher than alumni of other youth groups rated their experiences. Compared to other youth organizations, 4-H alumni were more satisfied with how the organization helped their development. In addition, former 4-H members praised the knowledge and skills they acquired more than members of other organizations. The study showed that former 4-H members were more involved in community activities than former members of other youth groups. But the greatest lack of community involvement was with those who didn't participate in any. youth programs at all. The study was conducted by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, in cooperation with the Department of Rural Sociology at Texas A St M University. Learning by doing HeDo. I’m Harold Poling, chairman of the National 4-H Council. I'd like to talk with you about what 4-H means to me, to you and to our future. Today, possibly more than at any time in our history, young people are foil of questions about their future. While in many ways the “act of living” has become easier than ever before, the “art of living” has become more complex. Changing lifestyles, increased mobility, high technology and faster communications all have a strong effect on the expectations of our youth. But it is these very factors that make 4-H effective. I was a 4-H member and I know that 4-H teaches life skills and helps young people set goals, keep records and come to conclusions. That leamby-doing process helps young people make achievement a habit and gain satisfaction from a job well done. One of the great strengths of this youth program comes from the willingness of men and women like you to volunteer time, talent and finances. That volunteer spirit is needed even more today - a spirit that inspires us to rededicate ourselves to that goal.

Fall bounty: Turnips and rutabagas By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent Many people think that fresh vegetables can be enjoyed only during the summer months. Fall root vegetables such as turnips and rutabagas are harvested during the fall and winter months. Many gardeners leave these vegetables in the ground during the winter covered with a good bed of mulch for protection. Others store them in a root celler. Both turnips and rutabagas enhance any raw vegetable tray. Both have a very sweet flavor when small. The traditional way to cook both is boiling. Some cooks prefer to add fat back seasoning, some prefer to just add butter. Our family prefers rutabagas boiled, mashed, seasoned with a bit of sugar and served cold as a side dish. Both are a good source of vitamin A and calcium. Turnips have only a trace of vitamin A and some calcium, but both have vitamins B & C. The greens from turnips are not only tasty, but have much nutritive value. Rutabaga leaves do not tempt the palate with taste, thus are not generally cooked. A pound of fresh turnips or rutabagas yields: 5 cups grated 4 cups sliced or chopped 31/2 cups cubed 2-3 cups finely diced 2 cups cooked and pureed Turnips will cook faster than rutabagas. Each can be blanched (boiled), steamed, sauteed and stirfried. Turnips blanched, 4 min., rutabagas, 10 min. Turnips steamed, 4 min., rutabagas, 12 min. Turnips saute or stir-fry, 2 1/2 min., rutabagas, 12 min. This salad offers a pleasant change • from the everyday green salad. It still offers the crunchiness the palate enjoys. Grated Garden Salad 21/2 cups grated turnips 21/2 cups grated rutabagas 2 cups finely diced carrots 1/2 cup minced red onion 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley Toss vegetables together with dressing of choice or the basic oil and vinegar dressing below, just until the salad is coated. Oil & Vinegar Dressing 1/4 cup com oil or olive oil 1/4 cup minus 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon sugar or touch of artificial sweetner Salt and pepper as desired Shake together and serve. All of us have heard of fried potato cakes. Have you ever thought of using rutagabas? This will add a new dimension to your meal.

Spoon in the vegetable mixture, flatten it evenly in the pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium low, cover the pan, and fry the cake until it is golden brown on the bottom, 10-15 minutes. To turn the cake, slip it out of the pan onto a plate. Place another plate on top of the cake and invert it. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and heat. Slip the cake back into the pan to brown the second side. Fry uncovered until browned. Slice into wedges to serve. Turnips cooked with turnip greens have long been eryoyed, particularly by Virginians and others from the South.

In a saute pan, heat the butter and oil and saute the onion until it is limp, 3-5 minutes. Add the apples and saute for 2 minutes more. Parboil the turnips and rutabagas for 5-8 minutes or until tender crisp. Add the turnips, rutabagas, and cider to the onion and apples. Place the vegetables in a greased 2quart baking dish. Sprinkle the top with cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Choking is a child killer This Halloween, to help prepare the parents of trick-or-treaters in preventing a choking emergency, the killer of more children under the age of 6 than any other home accident, the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia is offering a free brochure. Called “Keep Them From Choking,” the pamphlet stresses the importance of knowing the kinds of foods and articles that are potentially dangerous to young lungs and how to make the home a safer place. Because the majority of children do not develop molars (which are necessary for thorough chewing, crushing and grinding of food) until about age 6, and also have narrower air passages and weaker cough reflexes, small objects are more likely to stick in their throats or be inhaled into the lungs. Choking, called “aspirating a foreign body,” accounts for as many deaths each year as poisoning and is considered the most common cause of accidental death in childhood in the U.S. today. Copies of this free educational publication may be obtained by contacting the American Lung Association of Northern Virginia at (703) 591-4131. PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN.

Rappahannock Journal Long-range weather forecast still relies on best guesses me woolly worms are extra fluffy, and the squirrels are gathering a lot of nuts. It’s going to be a rough winter, right? Not necessarily, according to Dr. Stanley L. Ulanski, an associate professor of geology at James Madison University and a meteorologist. “There’s really no bearing on the biological functions of organisms on forecasting.” More than likely, it’s just been a plentiful year for nuts, he said. Scientific studies have shown that old folk tales such as these have no real validity in forecasting. People tend to remember the times when such sayings held true, but forget the many more times they didn’t. As for the Farmer’s Almanac, it’s been proven no more accurate than other methods of predicting the weather, according to Dr. Ulanski. In early years its forecasts were based on observance of animals and vegetation, but now it uses sunspot cycles, usually periods of 11 years, to predict weather activity on the earth. The almanac has a lot of creditability with people because of a lucky accident, Ulanski said. Years ago a printing error was made, and a heavy snow was predicted for July rather than January. It just so happened that a heavy snow did fall in July of that year. Long-range forecasting is actually a series of educated guesses. Forecasts can be made with reasonable accuracy for a period of three days, but accuracy decreases dramatically after longer periods, said Dr. Ulanski. Long-range forecasts are based on patterns of upper and lower level air flows and comparisons of previous weather patterns. Meteorologists, who are trained in such interpretation, analyze patterns and make their predictions. However, long-term interpretations vary greatly. What is known with certainty is that the changing of the seasons is based on two different air flows: the maritime tropical air (warm and humid) from the southeast in the summer, and* cottilfientsrpdlar 'air*(cold and dry) in the winter. In the Shenandoah Valley predictions are tough because of the influence of topography, the JMU scientist said. Fronts usually move from the west to east, but once they hit the Alleghany Mountains, systems tend to become “distorted.” If air moves over the mountains, it cools and increases in condensation, which can result in intense precipitation. Conversely, if air systems are slowed by the mountains, they can dissipate on the leeward side. The Valley weather has broken a number of records in the past year with a flood, drought, extreme temperature highs and lows for various months. With weather, Dr. Ulanski explained, the abnormal is normal “We’re more likely to encounter extremes. In time they average out.” For example, the rainfall which resulted in the November 1985 flood was not totally put of the ordinary, he said. It was a normal weather system that persisted in the area. And now, back to the original question. What kind of winter can we expect? Dr. Ulanski can only guess. He offers one clue for wouldbe meteorologists: The heaviest snowfalls do not result from systems in the west, but develop in the Gulf of Mexico and move up the Carolina coast.

NASCAR RACES 15 HAWAII REDSKINS MARDI GRAS CARNIVAL < CRUISES < Complete TRAUEL SERVICE October is ‘energy month’ Since energy efficiency begins in the home, there are several ways that homeowners can contribute to the national effort. One of the most effective ways homeowners can conserve energy in the home is by upgrading its insulation levels to meet today’s energy standards. For example, adding a single layer of CertainTeed Corporation’s 6 Vi-inchthick R-19 fiber glass insulation to existing insulation in an attic can help improve a home’s energy efficiency by up to 30 percent. In addition, the extra insulation will keep the home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Another energy-saving home improvement that homeowners can undertake during Energy Month and any other month of the year is installing storm windows and doors. Storm windows provide a dead-air space which acts as an insulator to keep the cold out and the heat in. In addition, homeowners should caulk and weatherstrip around window and door frames or eliminate any cracks through which heated air can escape. Energy Month is also a good time to institute energy-saving habits that can help reduce your home’s energy costs. Some simple tips include: • Set the thermostat back 10 degrees when you’re going to be away , for an extended period of time. • Heat only those rooms that are used, with the exception of the room where the thermostat is located £ which should always be heated. • Try to run energy-consuming * appliances during off-peak hours like * late at night or earlier in the day. » • Set your thermostat as low as f comfort permits. Each degree over 65 F can add three percent to the * amount of energy you need for heat- ; ing; each degree below 65 can save * about the same. » • Make sure that the fireplace l damper is closed when the fireplace » is not in use. Open dampers allow ; the natural draft of chimneys to pull ’ warm air out in winter and cool air • out in summer. » You Can Do It All With Our MODULAR HOME SYSTEM: FASTER, EASIER, MORE PROFITABLY.

MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY UNTIL 3:00 PJN. Luray Motor Company North Broad Street, Luray, Virginia 22835 Phone: 743*5128 Dealer No. 195 Firing range permit denied For want of adequate road access, the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday denied a special exception permit for the indoor firing range sought by Harold Young of Huntly. Mr. Young proposed to erect a prefabricated building for weekend turkey shoots. It wasn’t the use which disturbed neighboring landowners; not a single speaker at Monday’s hearing raised objections over noise, the possibility of escaping bullets or similar arguments made in the past against other outdoor ranges. Rather they focused on the inadequacy of the private 20-foot right-of-way serving Mr. Young’s approximately 26-acre lot and the commercial venture’s incompatibility with the neighborhood’s existing mix of residential and agricultural uses. “At no point” on the private road off Route 662 “is it possible for two cars to pass,” wrote Leslie Davis Arnold. The road, which is maintained by Mr. Young, Garfield Burke and the five other property owners who live along its less-than-one-mile length, already has problems with mud and potholes during winter months and dust and speeding vehicles the rest of the year, Mrs. Arnold maintained. A commercial firing range in this “quiet agricultural neighborhood (and) small backwater” would be “as appropriate as a bull in a china shop,” she said. Also by letter, Edward C. Bryant pointed out that that there is no commercial activity in the immediate area and he too argued that the road will not withstand the heavy traffic generated by the firing range. The private road “passes within an automobile’s width” of Garfield Burke’s residence where the Burkes’ grandchildren often visit and play in the yard, Mr. Bryant added. Area residents know of the Burkes’ grandchildren and drive particularly slow by the house, said David Arnold. “Outsiders” would not exercise that same caution, he added, describing the private right-of-way as “a little backwoods cul de sac . . . more like a driveway than a road.” “The Youngs are wonderful neighbors,” Bill Semple said, but seconded the opposition to the firing range on the grounds that the road is inadequate to handle the traffic that would be generated. “Nobody objects to an indoor firing range or to the Youngs, just to the siting,” said Phil Irwin, noting that the county’s > comprehensive plan calls for coramgrcial development to occur in the area between Flatwood and the town of Washington. “Here it’s totally objectionable.” Approval of the special exception permit would “introduce a commercial operation with regular and frequent intrusions of vehicles from the outside (and) change, probably for all time, the nature of the area,” said David Arnold. “The operation is fine but it’s in the wrong place ... If this is allowed, I don’t know what kind of signal it would send to others who might want to introduce commercial ventures into other agricultural/residential areas.” Donna Fisher suggested that if Mr. Young derives benefit from the increased traffic on the private right-of-way, then he should assume complete responsibility for its upkeep and maintenance. By letter, neighboring landowners Ed and Betty Streapy, Faye Wood, Arland Welch and Sally Burton gave their support to the proposal for the indoor firing range. In addition, a petition bearing 19 signatures in favor of granting the special use permit was submitted to the supervisors. Harold Young acknowledged that the planning commission based its recommendation against approval on the access road. But he pointed out that Route 522's hard surface only measures 20 feet while houses on that major thoroughfare through Flint Hill sit closer to the road than does Garfield Burke’s residence on the private right-of-way. Only the first 500 or so feet of the private road is 20 feet wide, he said, adding that the property owners along that section have no objections to the firing range. “Past that, it’s a 50-foot right-of-way put in in accordance with the county’s regulations (for private streets). It looks narrower because of the way it’s laid out.” In addition, Route 622, a 20-foot road nearby, serves a Catholic retreat, permitted by the county, which generates “a tremendous amount of traffic,” Mr. Young said. Also on the private road is a new pick-your-own orchard, he continued, telling the supervisors that another established orchardist advised him such operations can bring 150 to 200 cars in addition to busses during the picking season. Mrs. Young assured the supervisors that she and her husband would warn regular patrons of the need for driving with particular care past the Burkes’ residence. As with many narrow country roads, motorists can pass each other if driving “cautiously, carefully,” she added. And her husband pointed out that his deed gives him the right to use the road “for any purpose.” Garfield Burke countered that the recently opened orchard is “a seasonal thing” while the firing range “would be year-round and that’s a big difference.” The firing range “is a good idea but a pobr location,” concluded Supervisor Nelson Lane, a self-described hunter who said he would like to see a range somewhere else in the county. Supervisor A1 Henry determined that there’s no written agreement for maintaining the private road, which serves six lots, all over 25 acres. “Mr. Young takes care of (grading and scraping on) the wide part and I take care of the narrow part,” said Mr. Burke. “I just got a price for doing the asphalt on the 20-foot section,” interjected Mr. Young, adding that he intended to pay for the work “just being neighborly.” “But paving only makes them run faster,” countered Mr. Burke. “And some of us are very happy with the road as it is,” said Mr. Arnold, maintaining that the lack of improvements deters sightseeing and “keeps it a private place.” Administrative assistant John McCarthy noted that local officials, in approving the private road, permitted it in such a way that it cannot be upgraded to meet state standards, an indication that they intended for the area to remain rural and in agricultural and residential use. As to the traffic which might be generated on the same private road by the newly established orchard, “pick-your-own operations are an occupational hazard of agricultural zoning,” he said. “Agriculture is also the preferred use” under such zoning designation, added Supervisor Lane. Saying he had visited the location and reviewed Mr. Young’s site plan, Supervisor Henry offered a motion to deny the special permit application. “If it wasn’t on a private road, I would support it, but here I think it would be detrimental.” With Supervisor Newbill Miller abstaining on the grounds of conflict (he sold the lot to the Youngs and retains a residual financial interest in adjoining property), the denial of the permit application was unanimous. In another zoning-related action, the supervisors approved the resubdivision of three parcels, a 99-acre lot and two five-acre lots, into three lots of 10, 20 and 80 acres. “This has no impact on density,” said Mr. McCarthy of R. Matthew Iten’s special exception application. “It only makes lots bigger that were smaller.” but retreat approved Her face wreathed in a smile and eyes sparkling with unshed tears, Renate Chapman reached over and squeezed her husband’s hand as the Board of Supervisors voted on Monday to issue a special exception permit for their September Song, a religious retreat house on the 113acre Greenfield Farm on Route 211 just outside the town of Washington. It was the second rendition of September Song. The Chapmans’ first attempt to secure a permit ended on a sour note last year when they were turned down for a location off Route 231 in the F.T. Valley. This time, offering a long list of conditions to forestall the objections of neighboring landowners, they won the unanimous approval of both the planning commissioners and the supervisors. The conditions “go beyond the requirements of the zoning ordinance (and) illustrate the Chapmans’ desire to work with their neighbors,” said attorney Douglas Baumgardner, He pointed out that the proposal complies with the county’s comprehensive plan, which designates Route 211 west of Washington to the Shade Road as Rappahannock’s only mixed area for residential, commercial and agricultural Baumgardner noted that^thJ health department has approved provisions for sewage disposal while the department of transportation has OK’d a new entrance on Route 211 with improved sight distance for the retreat house. The conditions agreed to by the Chapmans: uses, Mr • limit to 14 the number of people who may participate in religious services. • make the permit personal to the applicants. • limit services to weekends and holidays only. • set noise limits, as measured at the boundary line, to 60 decibels, the normal conversational level. • prohibit services being held within 100 feet of the property’s boundary lines. • require that pine seedlings be planted as screening along portions of the boundary lines. • stipulate that the Chapmans must apply to have the major portion of the farm included in the existing Haskell Agricultural and Forestal District. • prohibit the construction of additional buildings for the retreat house. • define weekend as beginning at 6 p.m. on Fridays and extending through 9 p.m. on Sundays. Phil Irwin, the single speaker at the public hearing, supported issuance of the special exception permit, calling the retreat house “an adaptive use” and the Chapmans “good neighbors.” , Administrative assistant John McCarthy emphasized that the conditions were submitted by the permit applicants. “They were not required, but they are agreed to by this body.” Supervisor Newbill Miller abstained from the vote, citing conflict of interest since he owns property adjoining Greenfield Farm. PEC sees easements as best preservation tool Nature provided the punctuation for speakers last Sunday, as Rappahannock residents gathered at Werner and Jane Krebser’s Huntly Farm for the Piedmont Environmental Council’s Evening in the Country. With their haunting cries, a flock of wild geese added exclamation points to the call for preservation. The backdrop of farm fields and orchards rolling up to the Blue Ridge foothills underlined the assertion that the Piedmont countryside is deserving of protection against the blight of urban sprawl now threatening clean air, clean water, environmentally sensitive wetlands and steep slopes and the agricultural base that is the mainstay of both rural character and rural economy. “It’s awfully important that we work together. We must collaborate across this whole range,” PEC chairman Charles Whitehouse told the assembly that included government officials, citizen activists and landowners. Burgeoning development in Loudoun and Fauquier counties is going to have an impact “on places as far away as Rappahannock,” he warned. The proposed Outer Beltway, intended to relieve the bottlenecked highways of Northern Virginia, will greatly increase the growth pressures on all the Piedmont’s counties, he said, adding “nobody knows exactly where its eight lanes of asphalt will go.” Those who care must take steps to safeguard the countryside and the rural way of life, Mr. Whitehouse continued. “We at PEC think easements are the best preservation tool.” Landowners who enter into this voluntary contractual arrangement give up a certain amount of value when they cede their development rights to the state, but in return, they derive “very real tax benefits” for themselves and thenheirs, PEC’s chairman said. Tyson Van Auken, director of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation which administers the Commonwealth’s conservation easement program, explained that the granting of an easement prohibits in perpetuity commercial, industrial and residential development. The foundation likes to see parcels of at least 100 acres proposed for a conservation easement, but there are no absolute conditions which must be met with every easement, he emphasized. “Special circumstances may be written into a contract to satisfy family or legal concerns. It’s a give-andtake between the donor and the foundation.” As to benefits to the landowner, he explained that an easement is considered a charitable contribution and accordingly its value is deductible from state and federal income tax. Once an easement is granted, the land has no development potential, so as development occurs on surrounding property, pushing assessed values higher, the local taxes on land under an easement should remain stable, Mr. Van Auken said. And property passed to heirs can’t be taxed on its development potential, so estate taxes on land under easement should be far less, he added. To those considering the granting of a conservation easement, he suggested they talk first with their attorney and their tax or financial advisor. “We can’t give you legal advice. We can’t give you financial advice . . . We’re concerned with the conservation aspect.” “At PEC, we believe that the best defense is a good offense,” said Robert Dennis, PEC’s executive director and a Flint Hill landowner whose farm is protected by a conservation easement. “Don’t wait until there’s an application for a condominium or a 7-11 in your neighborhood. Try beforehand to keep this countryside as unspoiled as it is today.” In addition to granting a conservation easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, landowners can achieve a measure of protection for rural land by joining an Agricultural and Forestal District, Mr. Dennis said. PEC envisions a Virginia Piedmont Reserve, a “carefully planned” area encompassing as many as a million acres guarded by these two preservation intiatives, he said. “That may seem like a lot but we have already 30,000 acres in the nine PEC counties so protected.” He cited a recent federal report recognizing the Piedmont region of Virginia as a model for other areas striving to preserve rural lands. In particular, he pointed to neighboring Clarke County which has an official county committee that meets with landowners to explore protection strategies. “The only difference between what they’re doing in Clarke and what we’re doing here this afternoon is that they’re acting with the backing of the county government,” Mr. Dennis said. “And they don’t serve wine and food!” he joked, as the crowd readied to. adjourn to the buffet tables. I But before the group broke for supper and individual discussions with Mr. Van Auken and PEC «tn*f members versed in the easement program, Mr. Whitehouse claimed the stone wall for a few final words. “PEC is alive and well and working to keep things as wonderful as they are here in Rappahannock County. But it takes $40,000 a month to keep this show on the road,” he said, admitting to occasional worries about meeting the monthly payroll and office expenses for the Warrentonbased environmental group. And only half in jest, he urged his listeners: “Remember PEC when you write your will!” ‘Fine art and flowers’ at Va. Museum Fifty-four works of art will be interpreted in floral arrangements in a two-day display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 27 and 28. The exhibit is organized and sponsored by the 800-member Council of the Virginia Museum, a volunteer support group. The floral arrangements will be designed by representatives of the Garden Club of Virginia and the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs. Among the more well-known works to be interpreted are Claude Monet’s “Irises by the Pond,” Edgar Degas’ “Little Dancer, Fourteen Years Old,” Julian Schnabel’s “Understanding Self-Hate” and the museum’s world-renowned Lillian Thomas Pratt Collection of Russian Imperial Easter Eggs by Peter Carl Faberge. In addition, there will be an exhibit of living spice plants, demonstrating their historic origins and uses, in the museum’s African gallery, sponsored by the C.F. Sauer Company in celebration of its centennial. The opening of the exhibit will be preceded by a black-tie preview and “fantasy food” cocktail buffet with music by the Russell Wilson Quartet Oct. 26 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Other related events will include a floral-arranging demonstration by Christos Giftos, floral master and director of special events for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City; lectures on “The Rose in Art and Nature” by Robert D. Cro mey, associate professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University, and on “The Horticultural Extravaganza of the Victorian Era” by James R. Buckler, director of the office of horticulture at the Smithsonian Institution; screenings of the film “Memories of Monet”; and luncheons and informal modeling by Thalhimers Department Store in Richmond. Funds raised will benefit the Virginia Museum Fellowship Fund, which aids the continuing education of promising Virginia artists, and a special fund for horticultural projects. Admission to the exhibit and a screening of the Monet film will be $5 per person. Tickets to all other related events may be ordered by mail in advance or may be purchased at the event ticket desk in the museum’s lobby during gallery hours. A gold ticket for $75 ($125 per couple) will include admission to the blacktie preview and all other events, including lectures, the floral demonstration, the Monet film and docentguided tours of the exhibit, as well as luncheon on one of the two days. A day ticket for $36 per person wili include admission that day to all events and luncheon. Ticket-order forms may be obtained by telephoning (804) 257-8148 or by writing to Mrs. Everett Smith Jr., Virginia Museum, Boulevard at Grave Ave., Richmond, Va., 23221 Orders and payment for gold and day tickets must be received by Oct 12. Exhibit-only tickets may be purchased at the door. F

Landfill (Continued from Page 1) • “Given data is insufficient to assume resolution of necessary protection measures at this time.” In a memo dated Sept. 9, geologist Terry Bonine, who signed the Department of Waste Management's August letter that cleared the way for design work to begin, noted “artesian conditions” and “perched groundwater conditions” and concluded that “design of the landfill should include plans to mitigate the potential problems posed by the shallow groundwater conditions found on-site.” He suggested that groundwater monitoring begin as soon as possible; that water elevation measurements be made on a monthly basis for a period of no less than 12 months and that surface water monitoring be incorporated into the operations plan. In addition, Mr. Bonine found that soils on-site do not meet the department’s “permeability standard.” He also noted that “landfilling should not be allowed where natural slopes exceed 15 percent.” To the reactions of the state geologists, Col. Ellis Bingham added the conclusions of Phil Dawson, an engineer with Science Applications International Corporation who wrote: “The hydrogeologic discussion (in the Joyce report) is good but is based on a relatively small sampling and I find it disturbing that they intend to include a residential well as one of the down-gradient monitoring ’ wells. It is unlikely that this well intercepts the same water bearing zones (vertically) as do the other wells in the monitoring network.” Mr. Dawson also found “the two biggest shortcomings of the report” to be “the lack of detailed demographic information and the fact that a leachate collection system below the landfill liner is not mentioned. “A demographic profile, including a thorough survey of population within three miles of the proposed site, and an assessment of their water supplies should be standard procedure for a study of this sort,” the SAIC engineer continued. “It is difficult to judge the impact of such a facility without knowing who or what will be effected (sic). Likewise, it is difficult to judge the suitability of a site for landfilling without knowing what site modifications are intended. In my view, any landfill should be designed with a double liner system with a leachate collection system between the liners. No destination yet for leachate “We only accept two methods of dealing with leachate,” said Mr. Wright, adding that the department now requires all landfill facilities to have a leachate collection system. To dispose of that collected leachate, there are two options: “connect to a sanitary sewer system, which is not feasible here,” or “pump and haul to a treatment facility,” Mr. Wright said. In exceptional cases of hardship, the department sometimes considers on-site treatment, “but that is frowned upon,” he added, noting that the concentrated leachate can pose a greater threat to health and the environment than the landfill itself. “We don’t know the ultimate destination of the leachate,” Mr. McCarthy acknowledged. “We’d like to know where you’re going to put it. We hope not in Jackson District!” responded Mr. Silverman. According to the department’s chief of technical services, design plans for a landfill must address three main elements before a permit is issued: (1) groundwater protection mechanisms, (2) a leachate collection system and (3) a process for dealing with the leachate. “In your particular case, we assume that would be pump and haul to a facility” that has made a “commitment to handle and treat the volume of leachate produced.” Half the Stover tract unusable Cathleen Shiff pointed out that 26 percent of the Stover site has slopes between 14 and 25 percent while an additional 24 percent is comprised of swampland, both unsuitable for landfilling. ‘That knocks out half the site.” According to Lorraine Early, organizer of the citizens’ group, Mr. McCarthy has stated that the county expects a landfill on the Stover tract to handle Rappahannock’s solid waste for 40 years. ‘There’s no way this site is going to last that long.” “It bothers us very much that the permit application is for a 99-acre site,” added Mr. Silverman. “The permit will be strictly limited” to a specific number of acres in the parcel, Mr. Wright explained, adding that he questioned if the Stover property’s limitations merited further study to determine “whether there’s enough usable acreage .to make the development of the site worthwhile.” As to the concerns over springs, artesian water and communcation between surface and groundwater raised by both the citizens’ group and the State Water Control Board’s geologist, Mr. Wright said: “I have the same concerns myself . . . The concerns about this being, an artesian area must be addressed to as sure that both health and the environment can be protected. "I’m a little concerned also about there being so much swamp adjacent to the site,” he added. “Generally, there’s a lack of understanding of this groundwater system and how it works,” said Timothy Saylor, engineer with Buchart Horn Inc., the firm that did the engineering for Sperryville’s new sewage treatment plant. “It appears to be a very complex system,” he said, calling for more information on how the fracture traces and the stress from earth-moving operations will affect the groundwater. “Now is the time to spend the money to understand the site,” he said, describing additional studies as “cheap insurance.” “Is three times enough?” Ms. Shiff noted that the county has over 2,000 acres in orchards. She reported that she’d asked orchardists how they disposed of the containers for pesticides, herbicides and other agricultural chemicals. “They bum most of the bags the powders come in. The containers for the liquids they either bum or they rinse them three times and take the things to the landfill. Is three times enough?” The list of the most commonly used orchard chemicals includes organic phosphates, “some of the most toxic substances known” which in high concentrations produce death from respiratory failure, said the member of Fairfax County’s hazardous materials response team. Addressing the paint thinners, cleaning solvents, old batteries and other hazardous wastes generated by ordinary households, Mr. Saylor said: “We throw away everything - out of sight, out of mind. What happens over time to those compounds? We’re only starting to find out the answers.” Evidence indicates that heavy metals and other dangerous pollutants “go right through a renovated base like it wasn’t there,” he added. $500,000 an acre? A double-lined facility, necessary to protect groundwater from contamination, “maybe will cost as much as half a million dollars an acre for engineering, design and construction,” said Buchart Horn’s director of chemistry and earth sciences. According to Mr. Wright, the Department of Waste Management requires at least six inches of impermeable soil for the final two feet-of capping of landfill cells to provide an adequate seal and protection against infiltration. In addition, the design plan must provide enough soil for the daily and intermediate cover of the solid waste deposits, he said, “either on site or from a borrow area convenient to the site.” With the Stover tract, “we could be talking about a substantial soil deficit,” Mr. Saylor noted. “If you have to borrow soil, the operating cost could be substantial.” Mr. Silverman questioned whether the amount budgeted by the Supervisors for solid waste disposal is adequate “to see you can do everything you’re supposed to do.” He asked: “At what point can we get some cost figures to determine if the county can afford this site?” In response to other questions, Mr. Wright noted that the permit application must include: • an erosion control plan that covers siting, operation and closure. • strategy for monitoring groundwater and surface water “for a multitude of parameters” during the life of the landfill and from seven to 10 years after closure. This includes “an absolute minimum of three monitoring wells, and for a site this size, considerably more.” • background data on water quality collected before landfilling operations begin, “hopefully for six to 12 months,” but at least for a mimimum of three months prior. “When do the supervisors expect to open the landfill?” asked Col. Bingham. As soon as practical, engineer Leonard Joyce answered. “You’ve brought up good questions,” Mr. Wright told the Jackson District residents. “You’ve done your homework very well. But it’s up to you all to determine whether to have the engineer do further studies. He’s your engineer. ” However, at the same time, the chief of technical services emphasized that the questions raised must be put to rest in the design plan submitted as part of the permit application. “That will be required before we issue a permit.” “The supervisors have said that the responsibility (for seeing that all questions are answered) rests with the state, so, sir, it’s been put on your shoulders,” Col. Bingham countered: “They chose to ignore, for the most part, our comments. That’s why we’ve brought experts here at great expense. Unless you insist we have the facts, we won’t get them,” Col. Bingham concluded. tlW T Murray Hill Farm Leesburg, Virginia PRIVATE TREATY LIQUIDATION SALE Having discontinued our grain operation We offer the following equipment for sale: JD 4420 Combine 4 row 30* com head, 105 bu bin 1,038 hrs., good rubber.

That is the principle which our government in Virginia has been built on w when we start taking powers away from local governments and concentrating them in Richmond, we run afoul of that principle.” Mr. Baumgardner said that Sen. Miller’s position on the lottery is another example of his violation of that Jeffersonian tradition. “Bill Chase favors submitting that issue to the voters for referendum. He is consistent in his belief that the people ought to be given the maximum possible voice in a decision of that magnitude.” Sen. Miller, on the other hand, Mr. Baumgardner said, “said that if it comes down to needing additional revenue in Virginia, we ought to raise taxes.” He added that one of Mr. Chase s colleagues on the Culpeper Board of Supervisors had called Mr. Miller “a long-distance representative.” According to Ruth Updike, Sen. Miller told her he was not aware that there was an equestrian center in Culpeper. That came after the county’s board objected to a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Miller to establish a state-run equestrian center in Lexington. Mr. Baumgardner said, “His answer to charges by his constituents that he was out of touch in sponsoring a bill to establish a competing equestrian center in Rockbridge County was to charge his constituents with a lack of leadership. In doing that, he attempted to turn the relationship between elected officials and their constituents backwards. I found that incredible.” Mr. Miller stressed that, as an independent, “I’ve backed Republicans and I’ve supported Democrats. It’s purely a matter of who I feel will best serve the interests of Virginia. I’m voting for Bill Chase, not against Sen. Miller.” Miller (Continued from Page 1) the supervisors meetings, after I requested through Del. George Beard that I be put on the mailing list.” Second, Sen. Miller said, Mr. Chase’s literature alleged that “Miller sponsored a bill to require localities to allow double-wide mobile homes in some places currently barred by localities, despite acknowledging that he received 337 protests from Culpeper and Rappahannock counties alone.” The truth, Sen. Miller said, is that “I received petitions with 337 signatures SUPPORTING my efforts ... I wrote to all supervisors in the 26th Senate District, including Mr. Chase,” pointing out that petitions in that number had been received by his office. And, Sen. Miller said, Mr. Chase’s allegation that he had voted against Gov. Baliles’s proposal to upgrade roads in the 26th District, including several main highways and more than 400 miles of secondary roads, is also false. ‘There was no program presented to the General Assembly for upgrading any specific projects. During the special session ... I voted for bills that would raise sufficient revenue to fund critical highway needs in our area. I voted against the sales tax increase to be dedicated to transportation for three specific reasons: It is the first departure from the user fee concept for the funding of transportation; the other revenue measures would provide as much revenue as the VDOT can efficiently spend for the next several years; I am opposed to permanently diverting this major source of revenue from the general fund. “Obviously,” Sen. Miller concluded, “my opponent would have gone in lockstep along with the governor’s tax increases.” Sen. Miller also requested that Mr. Chase acknowledge the falsity of the three allegations contained in the publication. “I am calling on my opponent to apologize to the citizens of the 26th District for allowing Festival (Continued from Page 1) Sunday, of course, the large crowd pleased everyone, she said. Mrs. Woodard concluded with a thought for the future, both for Sperryville and the county as a mmm whole. “I think the county needs more events like this. People — and local government — need to take a long, hard look at what tourism can do for the county. We need to take it more seriously as an industry.” m 1 ON YOUR LO 28 x 40 W/Basement $98,245 SHUMAN HOMEBUILDERS, INC. 825-5184 Eileen M.

Regarding the notification of meetings, Mr. Johnson said that “according to the office of the Culpeper County administrator, Mr. Miller has received approximately 20 monthly agendas (of the supervisors’ meetings) since the winter of 1986 alone. “He was sent a resolution concerning Commonwealth Park. Delegate Andy Guest and Delegate George Beard were sent the resolution also — and both responded. Sen. Miller either ignored it or didn’t bother to open it, since it was just another letter from a local government.” Regarding the mobile home issue, Mr. Johnson said that, “Sen. Miller is just trying to send up a smokescreen to hide the fact that he’s not responsive to our local governments. The boards of supervisors in Rappahannock and Culpeper opposed it, and he acted against their wishes.” As to the transportation ranaing, Mr. Johnson said that “Sen. Miller’s choice was to stand for building our communities or sitting back and hoping that things would take care of themselves. He chose the latter.” Mr. Chase also issued a statement in response to Sen. Miller’s charges. “All his political life, Mr. Miller has been portraying himself as a faithful conservative. Given Mr. Miller’s actions as a legislator, it’s easy to understand why he’s defensive about his record. “Like Thomas Jefferson, conservatives believe that our people and our local governments know what’s best for them. “It’s not conservative to ignore the people at the grass foots. "It’s not conservative to put government in competition with private employers. “It’s not conservative to help state government to override our local housing preferences.” Mr. Chase added that he was “surprised” that Sen. Miller “either forgot how he voted or attempted to shade his record . . . This is an office that belongs to the public, and we ought to be more open with them.” I Building?
