V ■■■***: Weekend weather Four-laning Rt. 211 is top county project The Virginia Department of Transportation’s top priority in Rappahannock County is the four-laning of Rt. 211 from Washington west to Sperryville, according to Robert E. Moore, resident engineer for Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. “That’s a mjgor project,” he said recently. The resident engineer is responsible for oversight of construction and maintenance of all state roads in the two-county residency. The department is in the process of acquiring rights-of-way and completing the preliminary engineering on the project. Mr. Moore predicted that construction should begin by 1990 and be completed sometime in 1994. The county has also seen its secondary road money more than double during the past year, from $289,000 to $660,000. That additional allocation came from the state General Assembly’s decision to increase the state sales tax, gasoline tax and motor vehicle titling tax, and licensing fees. As a result, most counties found themselves with between double and triple their previous secondary road improvement budgets. Mr. Moore said that the money would be used throughout the county for projects ranging from the paving of gravel roads to the improvement of road shoulders on some thoroughfares. The resident engineer added that, as has been the policy in the past, VDOT will work closely with the county’s Board of Supervisors in determining which secondary roads are given priority for improvements. Currently, the department is widening a number of old bridges in the county, replacing the worn concrete barriers with new structures standing further from the traffic •'».C Mr. Moore \was the Rappahannock/Fauquier residency’s assistant resident engineer before being promoted to his present position Sept. 1. He assumed the post after former resident engineer Donald R. Askew was promoted to assistant district engineer and transferred to the Fredericksburg district earlier this year. “It’s a challenge,” Mr. Moore said of his promotion. ‘There’s a lot of responsibility that goes with the .-.——....

He added that until some specific plans are drawn he could not predict how such a road might affect Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. “I know that it’s a massive undertaking.” A Rappahannock native, Mr. Moore said that he feels that his pre vious experience as assistant resident engineer and his knowledge of the roads in the two counties gave him an edge in the promotion process over the other 11 applicants for the position. “Overall.” he addled, “our roads the Virginia Department of Trans-' portation in 1961. He served as a construction inspector in the Manassas and Fairfax residencies.* He was promoted to the position of project engineer in Leesburg in 1973, and then to assistant resident engineer in Warrenton in 1981.

MOORE i> *4 Community Services Center is an agency in funding crisis By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer (Another in a series) - ! Jo Gorman smokes too many cigarettes. She drinks too many cups of coffee and she isn’t sleeping well these nights. She has nightmares about impending federal budget cuts which may cripple the already limping services to substance abusers, the elderly, the mentally ill and the mentally retarded in Rappahannock and the other four counties of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District. Jo Gorman is the executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center and she oversees s,n agency in crisis. For the first time in the 22 years that she’s worked in this field, she’s scared, “really scared.” She grabs the newspaper every morning, scanning the pages foi»an announcement that Congress and the White House have worked out a compromise on spending cuts for next year. She watches the - late news on television every night for the same thing. She knows the cuts are coming and she expects them to come in the domestic programs that serve constituencies least able to represent themselves. But if those deficit-balancing reductions were all that she had to deal with, Mrs. Gorman could trim a few sails to keep her agency afloat on the troubled economic waters. “Mental health services are the backbone of this organization,” she explained. “It’s our one dependable method of generating income to offset the losses. So our philosophy has been to provide mental health services so excellent that the patient with insurance will come to the mental health clinics for therapy, family guidance, marriage counseling - all kinds of counseling - rather than going to a private practitioner.” That philosophy is working: In 1980, the agency derived seven percent of its revenue from fees; in 1985, the figure rose to 21 percent, an increase of 14 percent. And last year, Mrs. Gorman said, “For the fourth year in a row, we had the highest - not per capita, not adjusted for population, but • straight out highest - collection of Blue 1 Cross-Blue Shield payments of all the community services boards in Virginia 1 We’re $50,000 ahead of the second place board!” That might have plugged the leak if the 16 percent decline in the federal share of the community service budget was all Mrs. Gorman’s agency faced. “Mental health services are the backbone of this organization.’’ —Jo Gorman CSC director But Community Services has been swamped by waves of new clients: • The 550 mentally ill and mentally retarded people released to this planning district in the last five years from Western State and Central Virginia Training Center through Virginia’s deinstitutionalization program. “In 1976, this planning district had the second highest utilization rate of state institutions of any region in Virginia. When people are released, they’re sent back to the county they came from, no matter when they went in, even if it was 32 years ago. So if you once sent a lot of people in because you didn’t have the services locally, you’re going to get a lot of people back,” Mrs. Gorman noted. • Drug users and alcoholics who were treated at Western State Hospital’s substance abuse unit until its closure four years ago. • The growing number of “upwardly mobile drug users” of substances such as cocaine, a phenomenon that parallels rises in personal income such as the planning district has experienced in the last decade. • The swelling ranks of the “working '* ■ poor” who cannot meet eligibility ■ requirements for welfare programs but do/ ? qualify for the Community Services’ homemaker/home health aide help. Until recently, this program had a relatively lowv demand, but under the Reagan ad- V* ministration’s new regulations, Medicare Medicaid no longer pay for hospital and V* nursing home stays on the basis of what an* • individual patient needs but rather on average requirements or DRGs, Mrs. «fjy Gorman explained. “The doctor diagnoses’ll)) replacement. That’s ‘X’ number of days irrflhe hospital, regardless. People are being seijK-/ home prematurely, and our agency is beinjj£,v asked to help. The result is we have a long*C waiting list for homemaker/home health aides.” IjC With the waves of new patients V.H threatening to swamp the boat and the federal cuts springing ever bigger leaks, the* state has thrown away the life raft it once *%' held out to community service boards. Front 1976 through 1981, the Department of *.» Mental Health gave local agencies an annual' “maintenance” increase of 10 percent, Mrs',’. (See CRISIS, p.->> With last revision, Planners send subdivision ordinance to board “We’re not going to do exactly what PEC says every time, but we’re certainly going to consider it,” said Newbill Miller, as the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners voted unanimously to incorporate a change in the proposed subdivision ordinance suggested by the rural conservation organization before forwarding the document to the Board of Supervisors for adoption. I \ The final revision by the Commissioners came Monday at a continuance of the earlier advertised public bearing which had fallen on the same night as the unexpected November snow. Three people attended that first meeting; only seven turned out for Monday’s. - The proposed ordinance had initially included .a requirement that subdivisions of five lots or more with lots five acres or less in size be served by either central water or central sewer systems. . ‘We have grave concerns about v’it^ (if package sewage treatment plants, {jkrtfcuhn^y whtsi privately operated,” wrote Art Larson, staff /attorney for the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council, in a letter dated Nov. 19 to zoning administrator John McCarthy. “They have a record of poor performance throughout the state and nation, and Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford, and Tidewater localities now have policies prohibiting private package plants. ‘Their experience suggests that Rappahannock would be well-advised not to go down that path. While the expense of central sewer would tend to discourage the development of large subdivisions, (under the proposed subdivision ordinance’s requirement) it would be difficult to refuse approval of any package plant that might be proposed,” Mr. Larson cautioned. “If package sewage treatment plants have a history of not being totally reliable. .. maybe there shouldn’t be a choice,” said Mr. Miller, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Commission. Mr. McCarthy, who previously worked with Albemarle County’s planning office, reported that the two package plants permitted in that county failed within 10 (See ORDINANCE, p. 16) Culpeper’s experience proves ‘package’ sewer plants a hazard By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer In response to concerns raised by Piedmont Environmental Council, a Warrenton-based rural conservation organization serving Rappahannock and eight other counties in the Piedmont region, Rappahannock’s Planning Commissioners have dropped a requirement for package sewage treatment plants for subdivisions of five lots. The Commissioners retained a provision for public water and sewer for subdivisions of 10 or more lots in the proposed subdivision ordinance they forwarded Monday night to the Board of Supervisors. However, information supplied by PEC raises doubts as to whether privately owned and operated package plants should be allowed, period. What is a package plant? Package plants are prefabricated in the factory and, in most cases, completely assembled prior to delivery to the treatment site, where they are installed and connected to the influent and effluent lines. Since wastewater collection and transfer systems are very expensive, developers find it economically feasible to use these package plants, both in rural areas and in smaller, isolated subdivisions within urban areas. Do they work? In a technical memorandum prepared for PI Drew Dreshed, environmental engineer with Cl Hill, reported: “It is CH2M Hill’s experience that most of the ufacturers do not have the technical expertise to ptov&e a purchaser with a completely designed packages pliant that can provide long-term secondary treatment reliability without input from an outside engineer . 4. Even liv reputable package plant manufacturers may have some components that in some ways are deficient- in either 'See TREATMENT, p 16) T

News of Record Two plead guilty in vandalism -. Two Fauquier County men pleaded guilty Tuesday to 13 counts each of destruction of private property. Lawrence Edward Hitt Jr., 21, Rt. 2 Box 276, Warrenton and Johnny Ray Dean, 19, Rt. 2 Box 440, Nokesville were charged after 15 mailboxes in the Tiger Valley/Castleton area were vandalized last week. According to Capt. Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, the two were charged, along with a juvenile, after a county resident who lives on Rt. 729 heard noises outside early one morning and investigated. He discovered the two standing in the road next to a car, beating on mailboxes with what later turned out to be metal pipes. When they realized they had been seen, the two jumped into the car and sped away. T7ie resident gave chase, Capt. Streapy said, and wAs able to get the car’s license number. He reported that to the Sheriffs Department and Capt. Streapy’s investigation led to the arrest of Hitt, Dean and the juvenile male. - In General District Court on Tuesday, the two waived their right to counsel after Judge Charles Foley told them that the offenses, a Class I misdemeanor, could land them in jail. Each count is punishable by a maximum 12 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. • Then, both men pleaded guilty. In soft voices each answered “Yes, sir” when Judge Foley asked them if they understood their right to a trial. They sat uneasily, looking around the courtroom as Judge Foley shuffled through the 13 warrants sworn against each. Capt. Streapy told Judge Foley that “the young men were cooperative at the time of their arrest.” “Based on your statements, and on the officer’s testimony, I find you guilty of these offenses,” Judge Foley told the two men. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke requested that final disposition of the case be deferred until he had obtained a total figure for restitution of the destroyed mailboxes. Judge Foley granted his request and set sentencing for Jan. 5,1988. He released the two on bond after cautioning them to “be on your general good behavior, and violate no laws of this or any other jurisdiction. If it comes to the Commonwealth Attorney’s attention that you have violated any laws between now and Jan. 5, he could request that your bond be revoked and put you in jail.

Mrs. Banker and her three-year-old son, who were both wearing seat belts, were taken to Fauquier Hospital and treated. Mr. Coon, who was not wearing a seat belt according to Trooper Moore, was treated at the Rappahannock Medical Clinic.“Mr. Coon apparently failed to keep to the right of the road,” Trooper Moore said. Charges are pending in the accident. Trooper Moore estimated damage to the Volvo at $6,000 and $5,000 to the Toyota.

Road dispute solved, B & B permit granted Karol Wagner was back before the Board of Zoning Appeals last Wednesday, seeking a special use permit for a two-bedroom bed-andbreakfast business in the former Davis property overlooking the Town of Washington. And with the dispute on road access resolved, the board members voted unanimously to issue the permit. Last month, adjoining landowner Dean Morehouse opposed Mrs. Wagner’s application; maintaining that the private road providing access to the bed-and-breakfast inn encroached on his property. Survey pins that would have resolved the issue were missing; Mr. Morehouse balked at paying for a new survey and Mrs. Wagner insisted that her survey showed the roadbed entirely on her land. Last week, Mrs. Wagner said Mr. Morehouse would share the cost of placing the missing pins and that the parties had agreed to trade land if the resurvey showed encroachment. Surveyor Wayne Niskanon put in the pins at the comers common to the Wagner and Morehouse properties. “It appears there is not an encroachment,” Mrs. Wagner told the BZA. In a letter, the surveyor noted that four feet of fill dirt may be on the Morehouse land but added this could be removed with a shovel and wheelbarrow in a few hours. Then “some grass seed would restore the area to its pre-construction condition.” .Zoning administrator John McCarthy, who had inspected the replaced pins, affirmed there is “certainly no encroachment of the road bed and apparently no encroachment by the drainage ditch” for the road. Any of the fill dirt from the road’s construction now on the Morehouse land could be easily removed without any impact on the road’s design capacity, he added. The question of encroachment had resulted in a split decision last month on Mrs. Wagner’s application. Seeing that issue as unresolved, two of the four BZA members present (Mr. Bird and Butch Zindel) were unable to find that the proposed use would not have an adverse impact on neighboring properties. “But in light of the new facts, Mrs. Wagner fully satisfies that condition,” Mr. Bird said. Finding consensus on this point, the board members issued the special use permit, with the conditions that Mrs. Wagner erect directional signs on the access road and limit operations to two guestrooms and six guests. “We do apologize for the delay, but we were, as you know, instructed (by the Planning Commission) to clear up the matter of the road,” Mr. Bird told Mrs. Wagner. Apology also to Mrs. Davis At the BZA’s meeting last month, Dorothy Davis, who had sold the 51 acres and residence to the Wagners last March, was blamed for the missing pins and the failure to resolve the encroachment question. In a letter to the BZA dated Nov. 24, Mrs. Davis noted that neither Mr. Morehouse nor his attorney Frank Reynolds had mentioned the encroachment to her. It was Zoning Administrator John McCarthy who had relayed the complaint, she said, and “I told him that the new survey showed no encroachment on the Morehouse property and I knew of none, but if Morehouse could prove to my satisfaction it was the case, then I would correct it. This still holds true.” She charged that “unfounded complaints” at least five hearings have caused her “untold expenses and aggravation” and that she continues to be subjected to “unsupported allegations, slander, misrepresentation of facts and a reckless irresponsible disregard of the truth in regard to my business.” Asking “what means can be taken to deal with this credibility gap,” Mrs. Davis added that she will “support Mrs. Wagner in any way possible to clear up this matter.” BZA member Sid Gottlieb maintained that the letter warranted a reply, saying he felt he’d been “led down the garden path” by misrepresentations about Mrs. Davis. “I want to see this doesn’t happen in the future,” said the new BZA member who was attending his first meeting last month. “I feel that our proceedings did cause Mrs. Davis embarrassment and anguish ... I don’t know that this board did it, but it happened at the board’s proceedings . . . We were led to believe that Mre. Davis was the culprit in all this (SeeB&B, p. 16) Washington plans colonial Christmas Christmas is colonial in Washington, Va., the little town laid out almost two and a half centuries ago in the Blue Ridge mountain foothills by a young field surveyor named George Washington.

Neither was the slim volume written to be the sole source or the lone occupant of anyone’s cookbook shelf. “The publishers wanted lots and lots of recipes, but anyone who wants five different ways of making an apple pie can find that elsewhere,” Mrs. Kilpatrick said. “Every one of my recipes is original. Not a one was copied from another cookbook. There are a lot of things I could have put in there, like how to fry an egg, but every cook already knows how to do those things.” The recipes reflect the rich Old World heritages of an Italian grandmother and a father who inherited the renowned Gallic flair. To what she learned from grandmother and father, Mrs. Kilpatrick adds her own touches refined over years of cooking for an appreciative husband and three hungry sons and years of harvesting the freshest of herbs and vegetables from the family garden. The wedding of home-grown Virginia produce with imported Italian and French approaches makes for a happy marriage in this little cookbook. Some of Rappahannock’s best cooks might flip by poisson a la bonne femme and boeuf en daube the first time through but starting out with oven stewed tomatoes, hash brown turnips and com souffle will give them the confidence to come back and try the imports. Entertaining and surprising remembrances of life in the Pietri and Kilpatrick households introduce the recipes. The personal anecdotes are surprising only because Mrs. Kilpatrick-is eucb a private person. “I j hkve to be! People drive up. and down here,” she explained, waving her hand in the direction of gravelec Rudacill Mill Road that winds pasl the Kilpatricks’ White Walnut Hill. “Most of them are in out-of-state cars. They come up to the house, people who just want to shake his hand or say hello. I’ve had perfect' ■ strangers knock on the door and ask if they can walk through and see the • house! I tell them, ‘I’m terriblysorry. I’m only the housekeeper.

He’s the reason the manuscript crossed a publisher’s desk in the firet ■ i place. “I didn’t really write this to be- • published. I wrote it for our fivei granddaughters as a family history, so they’d know why they eat certain > dishes at grandmother’s house at> certain times of the year. But Jacket said it should be published. I think' he was a little surprised that I wrote i it - that I could or would.” V Mrs. Kilpatrick gave the pages bd her husband to look over, knowing that this conservative and discrimi- < nating critic and expert on the English language would be unlikely to temper his reaction just because he was married to the author. “He sug- ■ gested a little thing here, a little' thing there, just sentence structure and the like, but really he had very' few changes. I think it surprised" him. But when you live with a man and read his stuff for 45 years,1 you’re bound to pick up something!” «■ Those who read the cookbook and then meet Marie Kilpatrick will > have one question uppermost: How. does someone who so obviously en*>: joys cooking and eating manage to stay so slim? She attributes it to inheritance from her father’s side and' a dislike for desserts. “I fixed them*for the boys - they didn’t think dinner was complete without a dessert" - but I’ve never had a sweet tooth..; I just don’t cook with sugar. Never1 put it in vegetables.” And there’s a second question from anyone who’s cooked for art army only to have the troops grow up and leave home: How does she scale down the recipes developed for' three sons and a husband to recipes for two? “I don’t,” Mrs. Kilpatrick-^ said, pointing out the frequent notes *r on’hqw a particular dish freezes. “I ’J still cook for at least four.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 3.1987 Editorial Spirit of the season Last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marked the traditional beginning of the holiday season. For most Americans, and most Rappahannock residents, it means several weeks of feverish preparations for the upcoming celebrations of Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s. In the midst of all the rushing, running, shopping, cooking, entertaining and eating, too few people stop and take the time to remember the real meaning of the holidays. Both the Christian and Jewish observances of the yearend holidays are founded on a religious celebration. Unfortunately, it sometimes seems as though the real value and traditional purpose of the holidays have been lost in the orgy of partying, presenting and receiving. We’re not trying to be sticks in the mud in the midst of the holiday spirit. But, sometime in the mad dash and rush of the next few weeks, a few moments of quiet reflection on the real meaning of the holidays might be appropriate. After all, the phrase, “Peace on earth, good will toward men” is a part of the holidays as well. That is, or surely should b$, the real spirit of the season. Tenure’s demise wreaks havoc By ALEXANDER SEDGWICK 1. Rappahannock Ntwi Contributing Writer Imagine that you were a full professor with 16 years of distinguished service at a community college in the Old Dominion. Imagine that one day, without warning, the president of the college abolished your position, along with those of six other senior educators and staff people. This was the scenario that developed in the spring of 1986 at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hampton. The result was pandemonium. An outraged faculty senate voted a resolution of no confidence in the president, who soon left. However, the Chancellor of the Community College system defended the terminations as within the letter of the law, despite protests and calls for reform by legislators and members of the Community College board. Ostensibly the chaotic events at Thomas Nelson Community College were dictated by harsh economic realities facing an educational institution with declining enrollment. However, the faculty at Thomas Nelson proposed budget cuts that would have avoided the layoffs as other community colleges with similar enrollment drops had done. In reality, this series of arbitrary terminations - sadly not unique in the community college system — reveals the urgent need for tenure at these educational institutions. Tenure is basic to scholarship. This historic right became generally recognized by university administrators in Europe and the United States in the 20th century after centuries of oppression - first on the part of the church, and later, the state. Tenure is part of the contract with educational systems for all academicians in Virginia from kindergarten teachers to graduate school professors - everyone, in fact, except the 2,000 faculty members at the state’s 23 community colleges. The shocking failure to protect the long-standing principle of academic freedom drew the censure of the American Association of University Professors and has seriously undermined the reputation of Virginia’s community college system. Initially, Virginia’s community college instructors did have tenure. However, in September 1972 the State Board of Community Colleges abolished this right. a Then Chancellor Dana B. Hamel Insetted that the traditions of the past ought not to prevent the community college system from moving into the 21st century. Tenure is Sometimes regarded by university administrators as an obstacle to the of an institution in the Restructuring V face of perceived new needs. If, for example, the tenured faculty of a particular institution contains too many historians and literary scholars on the one hand and too few computer specialists on the other, how is the institution going to meet the growing demand for instructional courses in computer science? The abrogation of tenure makes it much easier for a chancellor or president to reduce the number of humanists and add more computer scientists to the faculty. Furthermore, tenure is expensive, and a university administrator might well believe that by eliminating this right he or she could reduce the size of the faculty, or at least be in a position to hire junior faculty at lower cost. Responsible members of the academic community recognize that if there are too many humanists and too few scientists or if a university is faced with inadequate funding or declining enrollments, changes or reductions must be made. But the power given by the Community College Board in 1972 to the chancellor and the presidents of the colleges to determine contractual arrangements with instructors and staff without an effective check jeopardizes free speech and due process on campus, as the events at Thomas Nelson Community College make clear. Virginians should be deeply concerned about the Community College Board’s failure to restore tenure to our community colleges. As citizens and as taxpayers we have the right to expect a vibrant and challenging system of higher education. Yet, the lack of tenure at our community college system, which each year serves the educational needs of more than 200,000 Virginians, discourages the brightest and most intellectually aggressive instructors from becoming members of the faculty. Thomas Jefferson, who founded one of this state’s institutions of higher learning, asserted that we need not be afraid of any idea or concept as long as truth is free to combat it. Any educational institution that discourages free speech inhibits the constructive exchange of ideas at our schools and universities envisioned by Jefferson. Chancellor Hamel may well have thought that the decision to abrogate tenure moved the community college system closer to the 21st century. In fact, the decision moved the system backward to the darker and more repressive eras of the past. Dr. Sedgvrick is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ' ON ITS WAY SOUTH for the winter, this flock of Canadian Geese spent the weekend on a pond outside Flint Hill. Letters to the editor Preserve tlie coastal plain To the editor: The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain, 30 miles wide and 100 miles long, is the only stretch of our 1,100-milelong Arctic coastline not open to oil development. Yet, Interior Secretary Hodel is pressuring Congress to open this area, one of our few remaining pristine ecosystems, to oil development, if possible, within the next twelve months, to preclude any legislative veto. The coastal plain is one of Planet Earth’s most biologically productive systems. Much of Alaskan native subsistence comes from the huge migratory Porcupine caribou herd (about 165,000 animals) which uses this area as a key calving ground. Muskoxen, polar bears, brown bears, wolves, Arctic foxes, peregrine falcons, snow geese, and more than 100 other species live and breed there at least part of the year. Oil and gas exploration would inflict considerable damage to these wildlife populations, reducing the caribou herd by 40 percent and the muskox population by 50 percent. Other species would sustain similar injury. Such devastation would be wrought for the purpose of securing 200 days’ worth of oil (present estimate of the quantity of recoverable oil underlying the plain). The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is considering the Roth-Bradley Wilderness Bill, S. 1804, which would designate the coastal plain as wilderness, thus putting it off limits for oil and gas exploration. Committee member Hon. John Warner, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510, should be written at once with request to cosponsor S. 1804 and to oppose any oil development in the Arctic Refuge coastal plain, any “compromise” allowing use of oil money for wildlife habitat acquisition in the lower 48 States, or “trading” other public lands for the Refuge coastal plain. Perhaps the most environmentally-destructive pursuit of the twentieth century is the quest for energy sources. Sensible stewardship of natural resources is not fostered in our present political climate. The only antidote to this cavalier attitude on the part of many of our decision makers is an informed and concerned citizenry. Senator Warner should be contacted without delay! SARAH P. FAULCONER President Northern Shenandoah Valley Audubon Society, Strasburg Crisis (Continued from Page 1) Gorman noted. But that budget increase slipped to seven percent in 1982, six percent in 1983, five percent in 1984 and 1985, and for the last three years, it’s sunk to just three percent. And even with more empty beds in the state hospitals every year, every mental health dollar is still divided 84 percent to the hospitals and 16 percent to the local services for the mentally ill and mentally retarded. So federal funding has dropped pre-cipitously, state funding hasn’t kept to its previously level of increase and local funding pays for the same seven percent share of the Community Services budget that it covered in 1980. But while the dollars are less, the customers are more, and the needs are greater. r The dilemma is driving Jo Gorman crazy. “We’ve reached the crisis point. We’re add' e 'aily to the load on our staff. They see teachers, other government employees, getting as much as 10 percent pay raises, and I can give them only 2Vi percent and even that can’t come until Jan. 1. We have a wonderful staff but they’re leaving, and I can’t blame them. They’re under stress, under-paid and over-worked.” Its executive director sees just one option for the Community Services Center: ‘That’s reduce what we provide to a manageable - albeit inadequate - level of services and strive to keep our doors open until the resources can again meet the demand.” (Next week: What are the services this Community Services Board provides? And to whom?) Call £t)c fcappatjannocfe iirtos at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos. i Recycling? Bah, humbug! To the editor: Recycling is an idea that sound great. Ostensibly, it embodies great American principles like thrift and cleanliness. In reality, it is slothful and about as appealing as a movement to save the rattlesnake. Woodbury, New Jersey, a quiet town a few miles away from Philadelphia, is a model in the realm of recycling. The pernicious movement started a long time ago with plain old garbage. At one time, it was separated to feed to pigs. That didn’t work out too well; the pigs got sick. But undaunted, the good folks of Woodbury kept at it. A campaign was launched and legislation passed. Now Woodbury’s garbage is separated into fourteen different categories. The legislation that was to keep taxes down and the town clean of street and pure of heart has turned into a file clerk’s nightmare and a rough approximation of the Third Reich. It is also a mess. Each category of garbage must be contained separately. Each category is picked up on a specific day. There is a $500 fine for misfiling. Inspections are frequent and thorough. A whole new bureaucracy has arisen. Taxes are headed skyward. For example, clear and colored glass cannot be in the same container. Used light bulbs have a category all their very own. And blue glass cannot be mixed with colored or plain glass and must not encounter light bulbs. All glass and cans ... more about them later . . . must be washed and must not be broken. This whole noble process falls apart if one visits a recycling center, a place that is designated for disposing of specific things either missed in the pick ups or too unsavory to have hanging around. The ground around glass centers is covered with smashed, ground or spiked glass. Newspaper centers look like papier mache factories. It seems there is more segregated junk than buyers for it. The only smiles are found on the faces of people who sell tires. One visit to a recycling center causes the citizen to hang up the pick up schedules in a prominent place in the household and there is a great deal of discussion about whether tomorrow is corrugated cardboard day or whether it is the day for grass clippings. Stimulating talk like this tends to keep down native uprising^ and makes citizens overlook the rising tax rate. But fears of misfiling.^ can reach near phobic dimension.;. Even the frequent fines haven’t kept up with the cost of the project. The casual visitor is soon swept up in this whole thing. I recall standing in the container-crowded kitchen'! of one household. I felt that I had’; mastered the whole thing, sort of’, the feeling one gets from figuring; out instructions for the VCR written' in Japanese. I was about to put a washed and rinsed can with what thought were its fellows. But I had erred and could be subject to fine. I was going to put a non-aluminum can', with the aluminums. The whole inci- * dent was almost as frightening as, the time I put the old Christmas1 wrappings with the newspapers in cardboard box. That little caper, if detected, could have been a triple ‘ whammy. As one can imagine, bags, bar*s rels and boxes are everywhere, both' inside and out. The variations are; colorful and imaginative. They ar6' also all over the place. And of course, a cardboard box can’t be' used to hold newspapers because1 cardboard day could come on the day before newspaper day and so on! ‘ Plastic bags are hard to use; they all-1 look alike. In an informal time and motion study, I determined that each householder in Woodbury spent a minimum of two hours a week in the; cleaning and filing of trash. I didn’t even take into account transportingSadly, a new crime has arisen irh Woodbury and that has to do with!! the transportation aspect of the pro-! ject. People have been seen sneak-1 ing into other communities with; their garbage. Muted singing of “Garbage Uber Alles” may be heard* in the New Jersey night as scofflawa commingle three kinds of paper withunclean old cans. I don’t know what the garbage; answer is for Rappahannock County. Frankly, I do not care if webury it, bum it or build another mountain. I only know that anyonewho even suggests recycling should find out first if there are any buyers for the stuff and then should head for a week of advanced penance in Woodbury, New Jersey.

When is a good time for Christmas? Put another way, when are people prepared for Christmas? One mark of a people prepared is that they arc CREATIVELY PERCEPTIVE. That is, they arc openedto new understanding based on new teaching and revelation of old truth. This was the job of John-theBaptlsL lie was, as the angel told his father Zeehariah, "to make ready for the Lord A PEOPLE PREPARED.” (Matt. 1:17) He was sent to remind the people that a “messiah is coming,” and he readied them to receive new truth being poured into die context of old hopes, dreams, and prayers. CREATIVELY PERCEPTIVE people take old values and see new truth in them; and, they also see old truth in new values. ADVENT is old; 2000-years-old. But each Christmas new EVENTS make Advent more real, more special, more ADVENT. ADVENT. Make it an EVENT by spelling ADVENT as ADVANCE. Copyright 1967. KaialorWMiamo N—ipapw S«vkm. P. 0 Bor 6005.

Day realtor FREE HOME VALUATION You may have seen offers by real estate agencies to give ‘‘Free Home valuations" and wonder if these are REALLY free. The answer is yes.. .and all it takes is a phone call. It is done in the hope that you will remember that agency when it comes time to sell your home. However, a caution is warranted. “A Free Home Valuation”usually involves a walk-through of your home by an agent who is experienced in local market price trends and, following the tour, offers a verbal opinion of value. This verbal opinion should not be mistaken for a real estate appraisal which can involve considerable time investment both on-site and in the office. An appraisal is a fee-paid service by a specialist which may be required for certain insurance, estate and other legal matters. Frankly, a good home valuation by a Realtor is all that most sellers re quire before putting their home on the market, however most agencies offer both evaluation and appraisal services.

m ' f Party fixings for holidays By SANDRA RICHARDSON Estmtion Agent, Hone Economics The holiday season traditionally has been the number one time of the year to invite friends, family, or special groups for drinks or holiday treats. Many hostesses find it helpful to have a few special party sandwiches and plenty of raw veggies £tored in the refrigerator in addition to special dips, cheese balls, and lots of crackers on the shelf. r,< Cheese balls are always popular. They may be as varied as there are people and imagination. A variety of ■cheeses may be used together or only one or two kinds along with vegetables, fruit, and/or meat, depending upon the desires of the host and hostess. The first cheese ball uses three cheeses mixed together and then rolled. Jan Palmer got the second cheese ball recipe from a friend. This uses fruit, vegetables, and nuts together with cheese. Cheese Ball 1 roll sharp cheese 1 roll garlic cheese 1 roll smoky cheese 1 lg. pkg. cream cheese 1T. Worcestershire sauce 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed (optional) Blend all together.

Rappahannock Journal ‘Christmas in Olde Vic’ comes to Gay St. via RAAC The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community presents the Wayside Theatre on Tour production of “Christmas in Olde Vic” at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, at the Gay Street Theater. This delightful play with music is based on four lesser-known Christmas stories by Charles Dickens and is an evening of entertainment and song set in Victorian England that is sure to please the entire family. “Christmas in Olde Vic” is presented by the Wayside Theatre, the second oldest professional theatre company in Virginia, as part of their statewide tour. The Wayside Theatre is located in Middletown and produces an eight-play mainstage season as well as sending four touring productions throughout the state each year. “Christmas in Olde Vic” brings us into the holiday festivities of the Cameron family in Victorian England as four members of the family relate their favorite story about Christmas, and what begins as narrative is acted out by the family and friends. Surrounding this is the story of the family itself and their grudging acceptance of the daughter’s beau. Funny and touching, laced with familiar carols, it is a show for the entire family, drawn from the pen of Mr. Dickens, our acknowledged Master of Christmas. Featured in the seven-member cast are Thomas Suda of the Hillberry Repertory Theatre in Detroit, Joseph McCullough, most recently with the Arkansas Repertory Theatre and the Actors’ Theatre of Louisville, and film actress Jaqueline Lucid, whose recent movie work has included major roles in the films “Valentine’s Day,” “Courtship,” and “The Trip to Bountiful.” The production is directed by Wayside's Artistic Director Christopher Owens and is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Tickets for “Christmas in Olde Vic” are $4, $6 and $7.50. Reservations may be made by calling 6753193, or at the theater, Gay and Jett Streets in Washington, on the day of the show. Planners recommend sign approval In a short session last week, the Rappahannock Planning Commission recommended approval of a special exception to Sandra Brown for a sign directing tourists and passers-by to the shops on Sperryville’s Main Street. The 32-square-foot off-site sign would face out toward Route 211 and would meet the zoning ordinance regulations, which allow two square feet of sign for every one foot of road frontage. Under that standard, Mrs. Brown, who has a green• » house and" craft shop' near the cornier of Main Street and Route 211, is allowed up to 48 square feet of sign, zoning administrator John McCarthy noted. “The traffic coming from 211 and the Skyline Drive cannot see Main Street and so we miss a lot of business,” Mrs. Brown told the planners. ' A directional sign “will definitely help tourism in Sperryville which in turn will help all of Rappahannock County,” said Cheri Woodard, president of the Sper1 ryville Business Council which had endorsed Mrs. Brown’s application. “The development of tourism , is vital to the long-term economic health of this county,” maintained Martin Woodard, calling on local government to support tourism. He told the planners that Sperryville’s businesses are paying a disproportionately high share of the operational costs for the village’s sewage treatment plant. Sperryville has been identified as Rappahannock’s only roadside, business are*, noted: Phil Irwin, adding that approval of the special exception for Mrs. Brown’s sign would therefore be in conformance with the county’s comprehensive plan. In the only other business taken up at the regular November meeting, the Commissioners unanimously recommended issuance of a one-year special use permit to Mr. and Mrs. John Ferdatta, Jr., for a temporary mobile home while they are constructing a residence on Route 642 in Jackson District. Rappahannock-Newsphoto/Cindy Mahan MEMBERS OF THE HEADS-UP 4-H Club gathered a basket of food for a disadvantaged family for Thanksgiving. Heads-up 4-H Club helps the needy The Heads-Up 4-H Club, with the cooperation of the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services, sponsored Thanksgiving dinner for a needy family in the county. That’s just one of the ways this club pays back the community for the help which the youngsters have received from horse enthusiasts throughout the area. The Heads-Up Horse and Pony Club has members who range in age from four to 19. Although they are enthusiastic horsemen, most would never have had the opportunity to learn to ride outside the club, according to Brenda Knoll, one of the club’s leaders. “They are involved in a riding program, but do so on horses donated to the club,” she said. Also, ^Iheleafiei^ and adults who volunteer, their tim6 to instruct the children teach them not only how to ride, but also how to take care of their mounts TOUR MONEY OR TOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility; saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. Recipes (Continued from Page 10) can be a bit difficult. Why not make a vegetable Christmas tree? It’s quite easy to make and a conversation piece. The tree is created by covering a ■Styrofoam cone with curly letftice, jescarole, or endive. Fasten to cone .with pieces of toothpicks. Cherry tomatoes create the effect of roping. -Cauliflower, broccoli, radish roses, zucchini, and yellow squash serve as ornaments. Extra veggies may be placed on a tray around the tree for guests to nibble. A dip may be served in a bowl near the centerpiece. Cottage Cheese Dip 2 cups cottage cheese 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or sour cream 1/4 teaspoon grated onion 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon salt j; Sieve or mash cottage cheese.

The club is involved in a number of fund-raising activities to provide the relatively large amounts of money needed to care for the club’s horses and ponies. These include bake and craft sales, as well as horse and equipment sales. The hinds raised from these activities, Mrs. Knoll explained, go to pay for veterinary and farrier bills, saddlery and grooming supplies. There are also admission fees to the various shows throughout the area which members of the club attend and compete in. The club helps to sponsor the Rappahannock, Culpeper and Madison show each year. Club members are also eligible to attend summer camp, as well as state and district horse shows. These are often sponsored by clqb funds, Mr§. Knoll said. ' •/Tj. * The club, Mrs. Knoll said, would welcome donations of horses, ponies and any tack or other equipment from interested horsemen in the area. “Older, gentle or retired horses, which can be placed with club members with facilities or kept for riding by children without Stables at home, would be particularly welcome,” Mrs. Knoll said. She invited any interested horseman, or anyone with children interested in joining the club, to contact one of the club’s adult leaders for more information about membership, donations or -volunteer needs. They are Brenda Knoll (9374616), Diane Morris (937-4274) or Chris Beard (825-5429). “We appreciate anyone’s interest in the clqb and invite visitors to the club’s meetings or riding practices any time,” Mrs. knoll added. Food Stamp rules changed Some families forced to share the same house or apartment for economic reasons may now be eligibly for separate food stamp allowances due to new food stamp eligibility rules, according to the Virginia Department of Social Services. >2 Under the new rules, if the fohfe lies keep their income and resource separate from others in the houfe and purchase and prepare their foft separately, they may apply as sep£ rate households even if they shite the same home or apartment due ig economic necessity. This new ruling affects: • adult children who live with their parents and have minor chi£ dren of their own, or V • adult siblings who live togethij$ where at least one sibling has minds' children. v Under the old guidelines, part ents and their adult children and aft adult siblings were required to apply for food stamps as one household,' unless one of the parents or sibling^ was 60 years of age or older or dijjr abled. They were required to apply; as one household even if they kept their incomes and resources and food purchases and preparation separate," Persons whose food stamp appfti cations have been denied or benefits have been cut because of the incortfh of others in the home, should contort the county office for more inforrrflji tion. If their income and resources are not shared with others in tte home, they may now be eligible w receive food stamps.

SINCE 1881 HERNDON, VIRGINIA Students puzzled by NY’s contradictions _ Forty Wakefield sixth and seventh graders returned home late last week from a three-day trip to New York City. Weary from much walking, train delays, and extremely frigid weather, the students were nonetheless still excited by their adventures in the Big Apple and eager to talk about their trip. Most of the students seemed struck by the contradictions of the city. One student exclaimed, “In one block of Manhattan, I saw about twenty stretch limousines and as many homeless people sleeping on the street!” While the students were' impressed by the friendliness of most of the people they met, some were intimidated by the harshness of a few bad-mannered natives. One child summarized these feelings neatly with, “They either love you or hate you in this city. There’s no middle ground.” The students themselves disagreed on their likes and dislikes. Some liked the tall glittering skyscrapers; others felt that they block out too much of the light. Despite differences of perception, all agreed that the trip had been a genuine learning experience with lots of fun thrown in. Travelling by AMTRAK from Washington, the group arrived in New York just in time to catch a crowded rush-hour subway train to their hotel in mid-town Manhattan. Later that evening they strolled down 5th Avenue to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Rockefeller Plaza before attending the Broadway play Starlight Express. On the second day of their visit to New York, the students toured Federal Hall and Wall Street and ate lunch at historic Fraunces Tavern. Later they boarded a boat for the Statue of Liberty, which they climbed all the way to the crown. Afterwards, they viewed clipper ships and shopped at the South Street Seaport, a relatively new attraction in the city. At the World Trade Towers the students ascended to the 107th floor just as New York was lighting up for the evening, and were able to experience the spectacular view from both the observation deck and the open porch one story higher up. While waiting to board the elevator at the World Trade Towers the students were approached by a Japanese radio crew who recorded students greetings to Japanese listeners back home. On their last day in the city the Wakefield group spent the morning in Central Park and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they J viewed the Egyptian display and the ; medieval suits of armor. Later they ; traveled uptown by tour bus past j the Cathedral of St. John the Divine j and Columbia Univeristy through J Harlem to the Ft. Washington sec- I tion of Manhattan where they spent j two hours exploring the Cloisters. On arriving back in Washington, ; several students commented on how j small and uncrowded the Capital < City looks when compared to the metropolis they had just visited. j School Board agenda Below is the tentative agenda for the Rappahannock County School Board’s meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 8.

I Fans reminded of spirit, sportsmanship As the winter sports schedule begins at Rappahannock County High School, the school’s coaches, athletic staff and athletes remind the fans who support the Panther teams of the importance of proper behavior while attending sports events. “As a member of the Bull Run District of the Virginia High School League, RCHS is responsible for conducting its home contests in the spirit of good sportsmanship as well qs friendship,)’ RCHS principal John Toth saidr “We ask each and every Rappahannock County Panther fan who follows our teams both at home and away to remember: • “That he or she represents the school just as definitely as does the member of a team, and, therefore, has an obligation to be a true sportsman, encouraging through this behavior the practice of good sportsmanship by others.

Tickets are $7.50 per person with group rates. • “Recognize that good sportsmanship is more important than victory by approving and applauding good team play, individual skill and outstanding examples of sportsmanship and fair play exhibited by both teams. • “Recognize that, since the primary purpose of interscholastic athletics is to promote the physical, mental, moral, social and emotional well-being of the players through the medium of contests, victory or defeat is in reality of secondary importance. • “Treat visiting teams and officials as guests, extending to them every courtesy. • “Be modest in victory and gracious in defeat. • “Respect the judgement and integrity of officials, realizing that their decisions are based upon game conditions as they observe them.” “Since all of Rappahannock is J judged by the behavior of our teams and fans,” Mr. Toth added, “we must use these opportunities to conduct ourselves in such a manner as to bring credit to our school and our community. “We look forward to a winning season and invite you to come out to the games, both at home and away, and support your Panther teams.” Manassas hike The next hike sponsored by the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5 at Manassas Battlefield Park.

■Cookbook (Continued from Page 3) ‘just no sense in doing it for two; you can’t! Then I freeze half.” Since her husband’s recovery ’from a heart attack, Mrs. Kilpatrick *has had to modify her style a bit. “It’s not quite so much fun to cook any more,” she conceded, adding that many of her favorite recipes see the table only at Christmas and other special feast days and holidays. “But there’s a lot I haven’t ^changed. I always cut all the fat off meat. I always used only olive oil. .And we always ate a lot of seafood and poultry.” That basic approach plus a handy compendium on herbs, including ‘.how to grow them and how to combine them, makes this little book valuable for the health-conscious cook. A Pinch of This wasn’t written for those on low-fat, low-cholesterol and low-salt diets but it will give them interesting new ideas. For those who like their cookbooks historical, Mrs. Kilpatrick offers a glimpse of President and Mrs. ;Reagan, who flew in by helicopter to White Walnut Hill for lunch in 1981. If you think you might want the honor of entertaining the president, better read what goes on: “We had three weeks to put together the guest list, send the invitations, plan a menu, manicure the grounds, clean the rugs and draperies, check the dinens, and polish the silver. We had agreed there would be only twenty for the luncheon - a number I could handle easily. “One week before the party, four young men from the Anny Signal ■ Corps arrived in a large truck. They took over the kitchen of our guest house and turned it into headquarters for a worldwide communications system. They ran wires here and .there. They erected antennae. They installed extra telephones in the main house, including a telephone for Mrs. Reagan. Shortly afterward the Secret Service arrived to set up security precautions, to decide where the helicopters would land, to arrange for local ambulance and fire protection, and to see how our quiet country road could be guarded. “A contingent from the Secret Service arrived to sweep the house for bombs. They tromped through the two attics with a trained sniffing dog, a well-behaved Labrador who was all business; they crawled under the house; they inspected every room, every closet, every drawer and cupboard. Meanwhile, Hilda and I were busy in the kitchen preparing food, washing crystal, and ironing napkins. We were still thinking in terms of lunch for twenty. „ “It was then that I was told there would be two helicopters. The second would hold ten aides who always accompanied the President. They Would need to be fed. In addition, at least one platoon would show up from the White House press corps. I began to count: We are now feeding seventy.” And Marie Kilpatrick fixed it all the salmon en gelee, molded rice salad, marinated vegetables, tiny corn muffins and fresh strawberry tarts. Over years of preparing meals for her family and friends, fried chicken and macaroni salad for 150 reporters from the Washington press corps and luncheons for the President, she has certainly proved she can cook. Now with A Pinch of This she proves she can write about cooking, too. And with one book too new to have even gathered its first speck of dust on the shelf, the artist (she was a sculptor before arthritis forced her to abandon life-sized carving in wood and stone) is already planning a second. But it won’t be a sequel with all those recipes that the publishers requested. The theme of the next will be more in keeping with another talent Mrs. Kilpatrick is developing, that of playing the violin. “I’m thinking maybe about a romantic novel,” she concluded. Marie Kilpatrick will be at the Rush River Company this Sunday, Dec. 6, from 2 to U p.m. to autograph her new book. B&B (Continued from Page 3) and that she fled. It wasn’t fair.” “We’re a public forum,” said Peter Kramer, adding that the BZA can neither be held responsible for nor control what the public says in its forum. “I don’t think this board made any decision on her fleeing or not fleeing,” said Mr. Kramer, who had supported issuance of the special use permit at last month’s meeting. However, he seconded Mr. Gottlieb’s suggestion that the BZA send a letter of apology to Mrs. Davis. The thrust of the communication from Mrs. Davis is that she will support Mrs. Wagner in any way possible to clear the matter up, Chairman Bird pointed out. “Well, the matter has been cleared up . . . There’s an antecedent history of misunderstandings in this matter and we walked into it,” he said, but agreed that a letter of apology would be appropriate and volunteered to write it for approval by the rest of the board. No action was taken after an executive session on personnel. In the only other business at the November board meeting, the BZA voted unanimously to issue a one-year special use permit to Mr, and Mrs. John Ferdatta Jr. to use a mobile home while constructing a permanent residence on property on Route 642 in Jackson District.

Ordinance (Continued from Page 1) years although both had a projected “life” of at least 20 years. “Clearly we don't want to require something that’s not going to be adequate,” Mr. Miller said, suggesting that five-lot subdivisions with lots smaller than five acres be served by a central water system. As to protecting public health and safety, “I’m sure that will cover it,” agreed Commissioner Werner Krebser, pointing out that the proposed ordinance requires subdivided lots of less than five acres in size to have a Health Department-approved site for a reserve septic field. “Also, package sewage treatment plants are expensive and (having to provide such a plant) will increase the pressures to develop the adjoining land just to pay for it!” While deleting the option for a package sewage treatment plant for five-lot subdivisions, the Commissioners agreed to retain the provision for public water AND sewer for subdivisions of 10 lots or more where the lots are less than five acres in size. To a question from Lorraine Early of Amissville, the Commissioners explained that the ordinance allows by right five family divisions (which are excepted from most subdivision standards) on lots of record as of 1962, the date when Rappahannock’s first zoning and subdivision controls were enacted. Once that limit is reached, family divisions are allowed only by special exception from the Board of Supervisors. “Several things in here raised the red flag to me,” began Supervisorelect Ellis Bingham, the only other speaker at Monday’s continued hearing. “I appreciate your concern about contaminating the groundwater,” continued the retired lieutenant colonel who has been a vocal opponent of the county’s proposal to locate a landfill on the Stover property near Amissville. “But the same people sitting around this table tonight said a few weeks ago, ‘We’re not engineers. We’re going to let the state handle that.’ I congratulate you on your rapid assimilation of engineering!” Col. Bingham supported the requirement for a back-up septic field site for all new subdivisions of less than five acres, but objected to the requirement for central water and sewer systems.. “You’re inviting a planned city. If they (the developers) are going to that expense, you’re going to buy something you’ll lose control of.” He described the Commissioners’ view of the issue as being “random development versus planned development” with the Commissioners working for the latter through the proposed requirements for water and sewer. “We do not want rampant development. However, random development often precludes large development for 10 or 15 years.” While objecting to the requirements for provision of water and sewer service, the new Jackson District supervisor aimed his major criticism at the impact the proposed subdivision ordinance will have on small farmers and senior citizens. “Historically, the farmer does not have Social Security. His land is his security,” Col. Bingham said. And when advancing age leaves the farmer “no longer able to till the Treatment (Continued from Page 1) process design or construction workmanship.” Among the most common problems with design and construction are: • “Some manufacturers are overly optimistic about the rated capacity of their package plants ... A purchaser may ultimately discover that the package plant becomes hydraulically or organically overloaded during peak design flows.” • “Package plants usually have insufficient or lack of process and equipment redundancy. If a tank needs to be taken out of service for maintenance, the wastewater must bypass the package plant and be discharged without treatment. Failure of any piece of mechanical equipment could lead to discharge violations.” • “Standard construction materials... may be inadequate ... Standard paint coatings may not provide piping and tanks with long-term corrosive protection.” • “Preliminary treatment operations ... are often nonexistent or inadequate.” - - • “Package plants rarely have the capability to remove grit separately from organic solids... Over a period of time, several feet of deposited grit can accumulate in the aeration basin, reducing its capacity.” • “After aeration, solids settle out in a separate quiescent compartment. If the compartment is not properly designed, short-circuiting of flow can lead to discharge violations.” Mr. Desher notes that “without proper engineering design and regulatory control, a developer may purchase an inexpensive, low quality package plant that is inadequately ima ^oscmonf Near Berryville Home to a succession of prominent Virginia families, Rosemont is truly one of the South s great and most admired estates.

Often, the operation and maintenance of the package plants is almost completely ignored or sporadically performed by an unqualified worker.” In less technical terms and just a few miles away, Culpeper County’s experience bears out CH2M Hill’s findings after 20 years of engineering services related to the design and construction of package wastewater treatment plants.

The Bible says that Jesus gave himself a ransom for all. The Bible also says in Romans 3:23, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. So then everyone needs this'ransom, and Jesus is this ransom, only Jesus can ransom or pay for your sin, and that’s what he did on the cross for you and I. We were held prisoner by our sin, and would have to pay the penalty for sin ourselves. The Bible teaches that the judgement for sin, is separation from God, and eternity in hell, where there is great torment, and wailing and gnashing of teeth. But thank God, He sent his only Son Jesus to be the ransom for our sin, 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, for He hath made him, who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Jesus is our ransom, He paid the price, and took our place, and bore our sin and sickness on the cross. All we must do is by faith accept and receive this ransom (Jesus) for your sin today. It is my desire and prayer that you would surrender your life to Christ today. If you desire help, please call me at 9878014. Love in Christ, Pastor Bill Taylor. fluent, monthly reporting, and compliance with limits set for various elements of the discharge. PEC’s review of the reports filed by the operators show that all six of Culpeper’s private plants violate their permits on a regular basis. Two plants have a history of false and inaccurate reports. All six have experienced operational problems. The State Water Control Board investigated three of Culpeper’s six privately owned package plants. In these plants, the SWCB observed malfunctioning equipment, improper operation, neglected maintenance, omitted and inaccurate reporting, and plants “in a state of disrepair,” in “dilapidated condition,” with “collap sing” walls and rusted equipment. r-_—i .. ■ ■ a, JOHN ^ SMITH'S .TAXIDERMY TOP QUALITY WORK Graduated f rom A Professional's School ALSO: Buying Furs 2 miles on Browntown Road Watch For Sign 703-635-5600 soil, he must sell small portions of his land in order to survive.

To Mr. Miller, the supervisorelect asked: “What is the primary purpose of land use exemptions?” That preferential assessment program which appraises qualifying farm and forest land at use value rather than fair market value is designed “to preserve agriculture and provide for a more equitable taxing system,” the Hampton District representative replied. “Should we not then give our senior citizens some consideration?’Col. Bingham countered. “I’d like to see us give our senior citizens the! same advantages as we give the peo-L pie in land use.” ; “How does that relate to the subdivision ordinance?” asked Mr.Miller. Dr., Krebser pointed out that the old woman referred to by Col. Bingham can sell 50 acres without meeting any subdivision ordinance standards. “She probably doesn’t want to sell 50 acres,” Col. Bingham replied, correcting the doctor’s use of the term “old woman” to “senior citizen.” “So how would you suggest we change this ordinance to help that lady?” Dr. Krebser inquired, getting no answer from the supervisor-elect. “If you allow exemptions for people who are older than 65, how could you deny them to a 40-year-old? That would be just as discriminatory!” With no further comments from the audience of seven, the Commissioners voted unanimously to forward the proposed ordinance.
